[00:00] racecar56: That is the entire thing. Three lines is all of it :) [00:00] ruler, idk [00:00] this is said in 8.10 [00:00] kmdm: the most annoying one is "There was an error creating the child process for this terminal" when launching one of the BT tools using the menu [00:00] Does anyone know how to update VirtualBox? [00:00] It won't do it [00:00] SO in theory, my virtualbox with 9.04 would run faster if I choose ext4? Or does that not effect speed with virtual machines? [00:00] or4n9e: ouch :S [00:00] eseven73, ya [00:00] kmdm: I already manages to port the whole kde menu structure to gnome and now that one [00:00] lol [00:01] unop: that was it .. excellent! SetEnv TZ EST5EDT followed by a reload [00:01] t_, qemu > virtualbox [00:01] unop: thanks a lot man [00:01] ah, you're doing well then! [00:01] t_, anyways, you install the new deb [00:01] axisys, yw [00:01] t_, from virtualbox.org [00:01] What does this mean, qemu [00:01] t_, its a command line vm thing [00:01] t_, if you are new then act like i didnt talk about it [00:01] just type that in? [00:02] t_, no [00:02] kmdm: I mean, launching the gnome-terminal works great, but when launching a commandline tool with a menu shortcut I get this annoying message, i.e. it does not launch [00:02] t_, forget about it, just go to www.virtualbox.org [00:02] t_, and download it [00:02] I can't play odd audio files, does anybody know how to solve this problem? [00:02] or4n9e: what's the commandline which fails ? [00:02] Can i create a universal folder for wine somehow and have it linked to everyones account? [00:02] sidh: put that line in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf [00:02] farchumbre, thats an odd problem [00:02] okay [00:02] farchumbre, :P [00:03] kmdm: please wait a sec - I'll look at one of the desktop files [00:03] I've got this weird problem where putting a domain in /etc/resolv.conf causes DNS to have a lot of cnames to my domain. This is especially annoying with non-existent domains. http://paste2.org/p/233542 [00:03] Flannel, im making an entireley new distro based from ubuntu (remaster), i want the whole thing so it will be simple to configure like ubuntu's and i dont have the original one [00:04] wait, I'm on the virtual box website [00:04] what do i download? [00:04] it's really confusing [00:04] racecar56: sorry ogg files [00:04] i can only play wav, but not ogg sound files [00:04] t_, click download [00:04] farchumbre, what happens when u click on an ogg [00:04] unop: SetEnv TZ :/etc/localtime worked too .. sweet! [00:05] kmdm: this one as an example http://pastebin.com/d1802c4ed [00:05] racecar56: there is a very weird noise [00:05] farchumbre, as weird as warty's startup? ha [00:05] unop: i made to i reload after the modification [00:05] racecar56: but only after i killall pulseaudio [00:05] made sure [00:05] farchumbre, warty's startup noise was glitched [00:05] farchumbre, hmmm [00:05] hm ok i formated this drive, how do i get it to mount? [00:05] farchumbre, media player? [00:06] kmdm: I'm pretty sure this is KDE/Gnome related - just need to figure out [00:06] racecar56: what do you mean by media player_ [00:06] farchumbre, vlc? mplayer? totem? [00:06] farchumbre, what u use to play stuff [00:06] or4n9e: mmmm could be, you are hacking it up quite a bit - just to check the obvious i assume aircrack-ng works from a terminal? [00:06] i usually don't use the computer for music [00:06] Hi can any one help i have installed jaunty and now aircrack does not seem to get my routers wep key is this any thing to do with ubuntu or aircrack thanks in advance if you can help. seem to be at a dead end on google [00:06] i think i don't have any of those installed [00:07] farchumbre, then how are you playing the music [00:07] erUSUL ok thanks [00:07] which one should i install ten [00:07] farchumbre, mplayer is pwn [00:07] kmdm: I had a ~/.config/menus/applications-kmenuedit.menu and build a ~/.config/menus/applications.menu just as alacarte would do. BT4 has a custom menu structure and with that approach I ported it to the Gnome desktop [00:07] Downloads have many options [00:07] this is why it's confusing [00:07] farchumbre, however for some it's in multiverse, and get the one for linux [00:07] farchumbre, ubuntu 9.04 [00:08] farchumbre, if thats what u usin [00:08] it works great, but the actual luanch of shortcuts ends up with the error currently [00:08] racecar56: i think i have mplayer video player and rhythm box [00:08] farchumbre: songbird is good [00:08] farchumbre, video player is totem [00:08] yes i have ubuntu 9.04 [00:08] whats up my niggers [00:08] thiebaude, i think mplayer is pwn [00:08] which is the smallest one? my hard drive is small [00:08] kmdm: yeah, the tools all work perfect when launching "manually" - it's just the .desktop files that are PITA [00:08] !language | isomerc [00:08] farchumbre, mplayer [00:09] isomerc: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.

I used to run windows, and I would play games all the time. I would often play Civ4, various FPS games (notably, AssaultCube and other Cube-based games), and other games. Now on Ubuntu, I can't play the very same games! It's not about availability, it's about performance! I can't even play Sauerbrauten (Cube2) at a decen [00:13] t_, 9.04 pwns [00:13] it's kind of buggy, have you noticed that?

[00:13] t_, not much [00:13] kmdm: IC, I'll do some googling on the KDE options that are in there - I'm pretty sure it has something to do with that [00:13] thanks for ya support and have a good time [00:13] brennus: 1) your message got cut off after "(Cube2) at a decen", 2) turn off compiz [00:13] Okay, [00:13] racecar56: how do you choose the default music player, so all sound effects will use it?

[00:36] javaJake, maybe it was from 2004 [00:36] javaJake, and im talking 'bout the manufacturing year [00:36] chaos2fu: compiz does not work on 845g. It's specifically blacklisted.

I install to an external hard drive and I can not boot it, I get Error 17 [00:41] chaos2fu: a friendly heads-up: the solution you posted is unsupported and bound to create issues if/when you try to upgrade, and may create compatibility issues with other officially-built packages. Try to avoid adding third-party packages as much as you can. === scfh_ is now known as scfh [00:41] my xorg.conf is way smaller than it should be [00:41] chaos2fu: also, avoiding the issue this way is going to break eventually, so actively trying to solve the problem for real is going to benefit everyone, you included, in the long run.

[00:42] `/c [00:43] javaJake, for some reason my 845g actually can do a *tiny* bit of 3D [00:43] javaJake, some thing from 1998 it works [00:43] javaJake, but it's not much 3D [00:43] racecar56: oh, yea, it can do 3D, but it's slow and/or doesn't have much to support OpenGL. [00:43] racecar56, same card I have [00:43] javaJake, eay [00:43] javaJake, yea [00:44] Javajake: if xorg.conf is different now, how do I change the horizontal sync and vertical refresh [00:44] javaJake, the RV280SE in my 1010 is *so* much better [00:44] racecar56: I get errors about missing visuals all the time :P [00:44] javaJake, i stuck it in there, got it for $100 [00:44] javaJake, lul [00:44] javaJake, the one built in to the 1010 is a sis vga, that is *THE WORST EVER* [00:45] javaJake, btw it's got an agp slot but the 1020 dosen't D: [00:45] SiS is still around? O.o [00:45] Lyth: the way xorg.conf works now, is X will auto-configure anything you don't specifically set up yourself. You can still edit xorg.conf and add a section describing your monitor. [00:45] eseven73, the comp is old [00:45] eseven73, and yes [00:45] Hehehe [00:45] anyone use rhythmbox [00:45] Javajake: How do I do I do that? [00:45] eseven73: with Linux, everything is still around ;) [00:45] racecar56, I feel for you, my first computer was SiS back in 1998 [00:45] javaJake, eseven73 even ubuntu waety! [00:45] javaJake, eseven73 *warty [00:46] Lyth: well, have you edited xorg.conf before? [00:46] javajake: Yeah, but the section was already there and I just had to find and edit it [00:46] siema? :P [00:46] eseven73, the 1010 is a nickname for my soon-to-be-tweaked compaq presario SR1010Z [00:46] I've got an old laptop with _no_ 3D support, 64M of RAM, and no CD boot support sitting next to me. :D [00:46] loool [00:46] I have to boot from a floppy and then from the CD to get Xubuntu installed :P [00:46] hello? :P [00:47] eseven73, it has a sis vga card, but i crammed a RV280SE (ati radeon 9200 se) in the agp slot and it kicks flamin' butt now [00:47] lol man what is that? i just runned it [00:47] ok javaJake I see where this is going...i understand your point of view but I got to have a working computer (fully), and this is the best solution that i have found...I filed in Launchpad and the problems and issues is well known...!;-) [00:47] racecar56, nice, surprised ATI works being on Linux and all [00:47] So, what do I do? [00:47] Lyth: right, but now you have to add it. It's pretty simple. Open xorg.conf (which should be blank) and add the lines yourself. Executing 'man xorg.conf' gives you complete documentation on how xorg.conf works, but I'll give you some pointers to get you rolling. [00:47] heelllloooo ? :D [00:47] eseven73, however it isn't all-entergetic, but it can do compiz + old 3D games from 1999 [00:47] can gnash play the youtube site?

[00:48] HI ! :D [00:49] Javajake: What do I put after? [00:49] Lyth: then you'll want to add another line: Identifier "Any name here" [00:49] not talk active .... damn shit programme :P [00:49] !language | kacperski [00:49] kacperski: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.

[00:51] i need it for my distribution im making [00:51] how can I make a copy of my distribution into a flashdrive? [00:51] sysadmin, unetbootin [00:51] Lyth: a little ways under that section, you'll find info on how to add horizontal and vertical refresh ranges, as well as other things. [00:51] Got it, thanks [00:51] sysadmin: try pendrivelinux [00:51] Is there a package that I can install that has a bunch of programs bundled into one through apt? [00:52] Is there a way to share a printer over a network. I have a printer hooked up to my ubuntu, and i would like to print stuff from my other computer. Which is running Vista 64 bit.

[00:54] list* [00:54] racecar56: that's not exactly defaults I don't think, because I think I enabled all the repos possible through Software Sources, but besides that that should be the defaults [00:54] javaJake, ahhhhhhhh thanks alot!

[00:55] Lyth (assuming you meant Jaunty?): To re-enable the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace combination that restarts your X server, you can install the "dontzap" package and use the command « sudo dontzap --disable ».

[00:57] ruler: use the Applications menu on the upper-left corner, assuming you're using Ubuntu. [00:58] from the desktop itself can we open the installed software [00:58] where is the updates directory? [00:58] What would be better, VMWARE or qemulator [00:58] I entered sudo dontzap --disable, but it still won't work [00:59] jdu so no need to dl debian? [00:59] Hi - I need some help de installing crossover completely - need to start fresh [00:59] anternat: no [00:59] Lyth: logging out and logging back in generally restarts the server. 'sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart' also works. [00:59] Lyth: sudo apt-get install dontzap then in terminal sudo dontzap -d [00:59] Lyth: you might have to restart the server for the --disable command to take effect :P [00:59] How can i se hoe much ram i am using?

[00:59] how* [00:59] brilliant [00:59] dva5912: free -m [01:00] dva5912, the old scool unix command for free mem is free -t [01:00] dva5912: or open the system monitor / add applet to toolbar to display it [01:00] jdu i have dwnloaded but not yet installed any [01:00] DVV - go to system > Administration > System Monitor [01:00] dva5912: a graphical representation can be found in System -> Administration -> System Monitor -> Resources.

Basically, this means no foul language and no abuse towards others. [01:03] dva5912: firefox is designed to recognize how much memory your system has [01:03] dva5912: so, if you have a lot of memory, firefox will cache more pages. [01:03] im just not used to seeing a program hog up over 65 mb. [01:03] dva5912, shared mem, cache and buffers are not realy used as the shring uppon needed for running code and data [01:03] dva5912: you can adjust this in about:config : http://kb.mozillazine.org/Reducing_memory_usage_(Firefox) [01:03] can i open pplications without using mouse [01:03] i am trying to load ubuntu live and i end up with "BusyBox v.1.10.2" and a prompt which says (initramfs)... why might this happen? i am using an intel core 2 duo, i looked for an intel 64bit disc but only saw AMD- does the AMD work with both intel and AMD? [01:04] ruler, yes alt+f2 === Paraselene__ is now known as Paraselene_ [01:04] windopain: Yes [01:04] wow i dint think firefox was that intensive [01:04] actuly i am running pandora soo... hat might be the cause [01:04] that* [01:04] so i'm stuck at "busybox" after a "could not load /lib/modules/2.6.28-11-generic/modules.dep: no such file or directory" error [01:05] dva5912: it's not a slim browser, if that's what you mean. Plugins (embedded content) and extensions also add significantly to RAM usage. [01:05] evening which application in ubuntu allows me to open files made in m$ publisher? [01:05] in my system (currently) the most memory-eating application is "wia" [01:05] Pirate_Hunter: OpenOffice, I should think. [01:05] hi! [01:05] now javaJake how much ram could a mysql and apache setup run? [01:05] I have a flyvideo 2000 card [01:05] Hi Flare - Had Photoshop CS2 running fine (which is easy) - then I have been testing Beta versions and unsupported software and acidentaly installed it on my default XP bottle [01:05] with 380 MB :S [01:05] Pirate_Hunter, if you are lucky, scribus [01:06] dva5912: that I don't know. I do know I've run it comftorably on 768M of RAM alongside a full Ubuntu desktop. :) [01:06] javaJake, hmmm dont think so not publisher files [01:06] firefox just hit 120 [01:06] AlbertoP, will try that [01:06] OOo has no support for publisher stuff for what I know [01:06] dva5912: that's pretty normal [01:07] dva5912: one way to save ram on firefox, is to enable an option (google it) to encourage it to swap to disk when minimized [01:07] darn, looks like ubuntu 9.04 won't boot or install on this machine from everything i read :( [01:07] is opera that intensive? [01:07] actually I can see, but it's black and wihte [01:07] Ok, i installed that Simba and I still can not see the printer from my windows computer. [01:07] have anybody got experience with this?

[01:09] or dwm xmonad wmii [01:09] windopain- ive had problems with stuff like that.. some times i used lenny instead....worked [01:09] dva5912: Linux is also every efficient with RAM usage. It's not unnormal for me to be using 50% swap and still see excellent response from my apps. [01:09] Bubulle_, i think wmii is easier n has mouse support also [01:10] 50% swap?..wow..lol [01:10] i got like 5gb of sway setup soo.... thats like extra ram? [01:10] Xcell: does lenny support the windows present & cube features? i'll give it a try [01:10] anyone knows what apps would allow me to use my phone as a modem(tethering) using a USB cable??? [01:10] i never used compiz on an older machine [01:10] dva5912: that's quite a lot but it won't use it if it doesn't need it [01:10] gnome-do > alt+f2 [01:10] Xcell: Songbird + Firefox + multiple terminals + e-mail + pidgin + whatever else running in the background takes a toll eventually :) [01:11] ah ic [01:11] this is brand new machine [01:11] i have installed ubuntu without creating a local disk can i create it now [01:12] is there a command that updates modules?

My monitors a generic westinghouse, so it's not being detected right. Previously I've had to manually enter the horizontal sync/vertical refresh, but that isn't working this time [01:28] Mine NEVER detects realistic monitor resolutions.

[01:32] KIllaDro: run 'parted /dev/sda' [01:32] that is if you are using the restricted driver... honestly though if you want to dink around with Linux, Slackware is better for that. Ubuntu is made to just go [01:32] KIllaDro: the pastebin the output of 'print' [01:32] Trizicus: it searches everything [01:32] Trizicus: javaJake beat me to it... [01:32] boss_mc: prepend a g for newbie friendlieness [01:32] Gnea: yeah, but you're supposed to replace that with something like feisty [01:33] Gnea: it's just that the page hasn't been updated, but I don't know what the line should be [01:33] is there a way to make it search and only show me what it finds w/ what i specified? [01:33] javaJake: I can't get text out of gparted [01:33] boss_mc: good point :) [01:33] i had it search / and it showed me everything [01:33] KIllaDro: although you will need to run it as 'sudo parted /dev/sda' [01:33] but didnt show me what it found lol [01:33] noisymouse: it would be prudent if you could shed a bit of light on what you're trying to do, exactly [01:33] ? [01:33] Trizicus: lol, of course... it found everything with '/' in its name [01:34] ohhhhh rofl [01:34] Trizicus: which is every file on your system. [01:34] Trizicus: the syntax is "locate " [01:34] Lyth: I don't understand... that's a fairly new monitor, does it not support EDID? [01:34] cant specify a directory?

[01:34] boss_mc: http://paste.ubuntu.com/184663/ [01:35] heh ok then that answers my q :P [01:35] javaJake: also, how did you get  in your message, serious typo that... [01:35] Gnea: I'm following the instructions on that page so that I can have a 32-bit system from which I can run 32-bit binaries on my 64-bit system. Apparently this requires using sed to configure properly, but I'm not sure what options I should give it [01:35] i seek answers. does #ubuntu provide? [01:35] I have an HDD temp monitor on my top console, and it varies and seems to read the proper temp. In the config it has the option to keep a log, which I've been using, but in the log it always shows as 54 deg, any idea why? [01:35] can anyone plz tell me how to use NM 0.7 in hardy [01:35] KIllaDro: you didn't run 'print' [01:35] boss_mc: yea, I know, I nearly corrected it, but a 'meh' thought prevented me ;) [01:35] Lyth: it's a protocol/method used by Xorg to determine the capabilities of the monitor(s) attached [01:35] KIllaDro: ok... [01:35] I installed it but it doesnot run as it runs the way in intrepid [01:35] je||y: ask and you shall be answered (probably) [01:35] KIllaDro: get on it! ;-) [01:36] noisymouse: and you're trying to do this with which version of Ubuntu? [01:36] Gnea: with Jaunty [01:36] boss_mc: sorry http://paste.ubuntu.com/184664/ [01:36] Gnea: I don't think the monitor does. The support people( which required digging and digging to find) told me they don't support linux and recommended that I use windows [01:36] i have mount my ubuntu server as a client of a linkys nas with cifs, i need the rigth command to syncronize fiels from my ubutnu server to my nass every nigth..anybody was the rigth command [01:37] Lyth: you have got to be kidding me. [01:37] i am thinking on using rsync [01:37] Gnea: Nope. [01:37] KIllaDro: ok, your disk is partitioned so that your / partition is 2.5(ish)Gb [01:38] i see that [01:38] ubutnu... i like it, got a nice ring to it [01:38] do i have to go to bios? [01:38] KIllaDro: and you have most of the data on your disk in an ntfs drive... [01:38] anyone knows how to install synCE on intrepid??? [01:38] KIllaDro: are you wanting to be able to access that data from ubuntu? [01:38] boss_mc yes [01:38] !ntfs-3g | KIllaDro [01:38] KIllaDro: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions.

[01:41] KIllaDro: then you can access the files as if they were there... [01:41] when the f$%$ is ubuntu going to get permanent universal fix for Bluetooth? [01:41] is the utility SAINT now proprietary? (an old book I am reading says it is free but I can't find it) [01:41] anybody to help me with rsync to copy files from ubutnu to a nas [01:42] jelly: ?

Basically, this means no foul language and no abuse towards others.

[01:43] kerebrus: are you using archive-manager or the command line? [01:43] noisymouse: because it's obviously old and hasn't been updated. obviously, you don't need to follow each step to the letter, you need to adapt for the current situation. [01:44] boss_mc: both [01:44] boss_mc: unrar-free is for the command line.. [01:44] Gnea: ok, thanks for the help [01:44] noisymouse: cheers, good luck [01:44] oh yeah... [01:44] tones: ive redownloaded the archive its not corrupted [01:44] kerebrus: what command are you running?

First, VLC doesn't play DVD's without hand-holding. What besides ubuntu-restricted-extras? Is there a simple guide for that.

[02:08] Gnea: on a good day it may even reach 1600.. never seen it below 1400 [02:08] I'm using a netbook with 2 internal ssd cards, how do i get ubuntu to acknowlege the second as a permenant physical drive and always mount it on boot? [02:08] Thinking that too... get the same thing with a different unit though. Saw some IO buffer type errors... maybe the cable? It's slaved on the only IDE connection I have. Master disk is just peachy. I have winblows and a ext4 partition on it. No problems there [02:08] tones: then you haven't been around very long :) i remember when it was around 600 [02:08] there are 1,385 people on this channel, that is almost double of any other channel on this network [02:08] AdmAckbar: add it to /etc/fstab [02:09] Gnea: too true.. id love to see that day [02:09] power supply is more than adequate [02:09] Gnea: anyway, offtopic ;) [02:09] tones: enjoy this day, you'll appreciate it more :) [02:09] Gnea: haha ok [02:10] !fstab [02:10] The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system.

'only ide connection'? [02:11] what isa good url for the jaunty thing about encrypting home dirs? [02:11] my board has 1 ide port and 5 sata ports. Master/slave has never been an issue before. Actually I never had an issue when I upgraded to jaunty from an 8.04 install. But I had to completely reinstall at some point and had nothing but problems with a clean jaunty install [02:11] hi all [02:11] i can't connect vista of my brother and my kubuntu [02:12] i want to share printer and folders [02:12] xtra: samba [02:12] and with over 800 cds and 500 dvds that need ripping and no drive...

[02:13] Hi guys I just have a simple question. Im getting more ubuntu games from the repos put onto a repo DVD-R, and I have a simple Logitech keyboard with no media keys or extras whatsover.I went to keyboard shortcuts in ubuntu preferences menu to try and set my own with stuff like Ctl+[Keypad +] for volume up function etc so i could change volume while still in games like open arena and my Doom3 I bought the other day.Doesnt seem to work in === Guest97491 is now known as sirderigo [02:13] sounds like the games are eating the key presses [02:13] Thats what i figured. [02:13] is this running in wine? I know wine can steal focus on DX [02:14] graelin: sooo, why don't you have any sata drives instead of the ide hd? [02:14] no Im running all native games. [02:14] AdmAckbar: got that> [02:14] ? [02:14] nice I didn't know doom3 had linux binaries [02:14] * essial doesn't play very many games though ;) [02:14] boos_mc yes thanks, giving it a go now [02:14] Yeah the id ftp server has linux bins for almost all there games.Its pretty cool. [02:14] AdmAckbar: sweet, just making sure you're on your way to being sorted... [02:14] :) [02:15] graelin: it could also be a faulty cable, as you pointed out, but I find it extremely odd that your motherboard only has 1 ide channel on it.... sounds proprietary [02:15] I do.. /boot / and home are on a 500Gb sata. Winblows and /share are on 320gb ide. Saving the other sata slots fot TB drives for media server eventually. Don't own a sata DVDr anyway === fishman_ is now known as ultimate [02:15] Ok people,, I have sound issues when I namely stream audio/video via youtube or the like which completely kills audio systemwide. A restart of pulseaudio seems to fix it. Does any one have an idea of a fix? I see this issus all over the ubuntu forums,, but no fix, as of yet. [02:15] gnea: Pundit computers typically have only one ide cable [02:15] I have one myself :) [02:15] Back on 8.10 and my old logitech keyboard with media/volume keys it used to work just fine.

I've never had anything but problems with setups like that. The problem is with the IDE spec, not with Jaunty. If it worked before, there must have been some kernel hack that allowed it - perhaps that's what you should look for. Maybe a pci reconfiguration or IDE channel tweak?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [02:36] Hi. I've got a dvd burner that seems to be on its last legs. Whenever I burn an image, it always tells me that the MD5 checksum is incorrect. However, I have not had a problem with losing any data. (I burn different linux distros often) Should I worry that the MD5 checksum never comes out right? [02:36] ok [02:37] jackripper: yes? [02:37] joeseph: Are you using that DVD in the same drive, or different computers [02:37] I installed JDK 6 using bin file. After that I run Eclipse, but it said that there's no JVM in the computer [02:37] essial: What do you mean? [02:38] Paddy_EIRE sorry i hit the wrong key. this guy does not read from the net at all. he is over for a bit and mentioned buying a computer [02:38] joseph: do you burn the DVD, then use that DVD in another computer's drive; or do you use it in your drive [02:38] jackripper: ah.. well ubuntu will be a great option for him I am sure [02:38] good luck [02:39] essial: It just depends. This time, I'm using it in a different drive than the computer that is burning it, yes. [02:39] Anyone helps me? I installed JDK 6 using bin file. After that I run Eclipse, but it said that there's no JVM in the compute [02:39] joeseph: because it may be a problem READING the data, not writing it, in which case the checksum would obviously be a false positive [02:40] essial: That's definitely a possibility. What's a good way to tell? [02:40] i know. i have never run windows in the five years ive had a computer. i know i am not exhibbiting a great deal of knowledge with debian, but i am excited. drinkin'. i'll see you guys later. thanks for all the input [02:40] well i can see my wired network places but not my wireless network places. but i do have internet. i have a static ip set up for both of them and i can see this computer from other wireless enabled computers both running ubuntu and windows. i can access this pc from anywhere but i cannot access any wireless networks from my pc, just wired networks. [02:40] joeseph: and at a more low level, optical storage devices have error tolerances and redundancy (so scratches don't brick the media), so just because a checksumf fails due to a "Bad burn" doesn't necessarily mean the disk will not read properly [02:41] essial: In that case, I probably won't worry about it. I've never had problems with a disc I've burned before. [02:41] Joeseph: I'd still not install an OS off it ;-) [02:41] joeseph: on the same note, dvd burners are like $30 on newegg [02:42] boss_mc: Well, I mostly just burn os discs cause I like to distro hop on my spare computer, so If it fails, no worries. [02:42] essial: I might buy myself one there then. [02:42] does ubuntu handle wacom tablets decently out of the box? [02:42] as in no mouse acceleration, decently mapped to the screen, etc [02:42] erase button working, etc etc etc [02:42] joeseph: yeah I don't like to advertise but i've ordered from there exclusively for the last 4 years or so with no problems [02:42] They should work out of box, not sure myself, haven't tested. [02:43] let me rephrase: does wacom work differently then it works in debian lenny? [02:43] essial: I'll probably wait for a good sale and then get one. Thanks for the advice on the MD5 stuff by the way. [02:43] because thats what i got now and it only works extremely crappy [02:43] ward-: haha, LOVE that rephrase [02:43] Old xorg.conf had those wacom infos added but new xorg doesn't have the default config anymore. [02:44] ah crap [02:44] i can see my wired network places but not my wireless network places. but i do have internet. i have a static ip set up for both of them and i can see this computer from other wireless enabled computers both running ubuntu and windows. i can access this pc from anywhere but i cannot access any wireless networks from my pc, just wired networks. [02:44] What you mean it's working crappy ? [02:44] mouse acceleration on my wacom [02:44] and its not mapped correctly [02:44] (when using absolute) [02:44] jedimaster0o0: sounds like your wireless on your computer aint workin :) [02:44] try in console "xset m 0" to disable acceleration? [02:44] i want acceleration on my regular mouse [02:45] lol [02:45] thanx for the tip though [02:45] i just put it to .bashrc and open terminal every time i reboot ... -.- [02:45] im having issues trying to extract an iso from a .gz archive. [02:45] i3luefire: are you RUNNING ubuntu or windows at the moment? [02:45] Bell goes off with xset -b too etc ... [02:45] well i can use it to get internet and everyone else can see me just not the other way around === navetz__ is now known as navetz [02:46] ubuntu [02:46] 9.04 beagle doesnt find a file thats definately in the index path? [02:46] i3luefire: k what's the problem? [02:46] i3luefire what is the problem there, bugged countainer or ? [02:46] any 9.04 changes that are worth mentioning btw? [02:46] ward-: new notifications [02:47] ward: Nothing really ... i turn off nofications and uninstall that additional software after install for around 200 mbs [02:47] ward-: it's awsome? notification system, great new themes, it supports my system hardware even better, boot times are a lot quicker [02:47] *awesome even [02:47] oh so basically its a lot of difference? [02:47] Themes nearly same -> gnome-look helps for that. [02:47] latest i used is 8.10 i believe [02:47] ward-: depends on who you ask really [02:47] Login theme is nicer if someone asks. [02:47] But then again i turn on autologin. =p [02:48] essia & jasal: it just says extracting for way too long with no progress [02:48] essial, anyone and everyone in the room [02:48] How big is the iso file ? [02:48] How can I add Medibuntu to me sources.list? [02:48] *my [02:48] And if you try drag and drop, do rather the right click and "extract all here". [02:48] 2.3GB [02:48] i3luefire: did you right-click and extract to with the UI or do tar with the console? [02:49] mac9416 theres comprehensive instructions on the medibuntu site [02:49] right click [02:49] i3luefire: yes a 2.3gb file could take around 30 seconds on a quick computer to maby even 5 minutes on a really old machine [02:49] hmm [02:49] 2.3gb is a LOT of 1's and 0's to decompress [02:49] koshari: I'm afraid I'm on a Windows computer, and can't follow all the "wget" and so forth commands. I just need the sources.list entries. [02:50] how do you burn an image to a disk in linux? [02:50] i can see my wired network places but not my wireless network places, but i use the internet through the wireless card. i have a static ip set up for both of them and i can see this computer from other wireless enabled computers both running ubuntu and windows. i can access this pc from anywhere but i cannot access any wireless networks from my pc, just wired networks. [02:50] is there a way to check what the total size of all packages installed? [02:50] dvd iso to dvd-rw for ex [02:50] to make it bootable [02:50] ok i'll give it 10 minutes and be back [02:50] DM1, there are more ways but i like k3b personally [02:50] DM1: right-click the iso [02:50] mac9416 the sources lists are wihting those comamnds [02:50] k3b will make the dvd bootable? [02:50] All you need is a good iso burner like brasero or my personal favorit gnome-baker [02:50] DM1-> Brasero simpliest. [02:50] DM1: whether it's bootable or not is based on the ISO [02:50] DM1, that depends on the image you write to the DVD [02:50] DM1: to boot, it must have a boot sector [02:51] well the iso is bootable :D [02:51] Atleast everything i burned this far has booted. [02:51] hey everyone. im streaming a concert live (betterstream.com), the site runs on ubuntu server, does that count as on-topic ;) [02:51] DMI, then it will be bootable [02:51] DM1, well it allways worked for me so far so yeah it should work fine [02:51] some programs just 'copy' the iso to the dvd rather than make it an image [02:51] DM1: then yes, in gnome jsut right-click ->open with "disk burner" [02:51] mac9416 ie http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/jaunty.list [02:51] thanks [02:51] :D [02:51] no prob [02:51] starting now. lol [02:51] DM1 it doesn't really differ really too much, i have tried to just copy contents and burned and those bootable things boot even doing so. [02:52] Jasa: I don't see how that would ever work O_o [02:52] koshari, thanks so much. I had tried to got to the directory above that file, but permission was denied. I can read it now, thanks :-) [02:52] Good bios ? [02:52] what is another distro to use that is 64 bit besides ubuntu (and not fedora, opensuse) [02:53] Jasa: nothing to do with bios :p [02:53] debian [02:53] nty on debian [02:53] DM1, What does nty mean? [02:53] ya [02:53] no thanks to debian [02:53] oh [02:53] ok [02:53] Yeah guess not ... but way too many shabby boot ways really and so on. [02:53] !!! [02:53] arch? [02:53] se7525gp2 board. -.- [02:53] i downloaded it and it hung [02:53] DM1: DM1: https://linux-distro.co.uk/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=24 [02:53] !offtopic [02:53] DM1, Not debian's fault :( [02:53] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [02:54] so did fedora [02:54] !avahi [02:54] Sorry, I don't know anything about avahi [02:54] !awahi [02:54] Sorry, I don't know anything about awahi [02:54] DM1: don't add to cart, just an easy list for you [02:54] !women [02:54] The women and men of the Ubuntu women project hang out in #ubuntu-women. Encouraging women to use linux? Read http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Encourage-Women-Linux-HOWTO/ for some suggestions compiled by women who use Linux on how to do so effectively. [02:54] But i could really swear i have done the copy of contents and burned normally without ISO once. [02:54] bah, i tried [02:55] Does that mean I'm not allowed to go into ubuntu women? [02:55] anyone know of a good keylogger for Ubuntu, Ive researched a couple, lkl and xev, lkl is buggy with usb keyboards and doesnt work, xev shows like a little window or something, there's a paid one called pykeylogger after 4 days stops working (according to pykeyloggers site) :( [02:55] mandriva also hung [02:55] Jasa: Who knows, I am working on an operating system in my free time and I've been up and down the cd bios boot specs and have seen nothing that would allow that :) [02:55] But i think it was some DSL type of "usb" image burned, would guess it does regonize it from there or something ... don't remember too good ... way too long from testing those in times ago. [02:55] eseven73: the best one is not software based, but a hardware one [02:55] DM1: This is the *Ubuntu* support channel. If you're looking for other distro, I suggest you ask elsewhere, such as ##linux or #ubuntu-offtopic. [02:56] DM1, Are you sure you don't have broken hardware? LIke a fried modem or something? Is ubuntu the only distro that didn't freezE? [02:56] suse 11.1 works fine and the comp is new lol [02:56] essial, hmmm im guessing it's like a USB dongle or something? [02:56] essial: Well... I spoke too soon. The latest Moblin beta disk I made does not seem to work. (Though I'm still not sure whether it's moblin or the disc, but....) [02:56] you can build a keylogger into your keyboard cable i saw once [02:57] eseven73: If your looking some odd grinding bot for gaming just try finding already made one ? =p [02:57] hola [02:57] the laptop is only 5-6 months old [02:57] DM1, I see, that is odd huh === fred_ is now known as Guest96606 [02:58] i can see my wired network places but not my wireless network places, but i use the internet through the wireless card. i have a static ip set up for both of them and i can see this computer from other wireless enabled computers both running ubuntu and windows. i can access this pc from anywhere but i cannot access any wireless networks from my pc, just wired networks. [02:58] Jasa, not what I want, and that sounds more like a keyboard/mouse macro app than a keylogger [02:58] Onto more pressing issues...... Can I fix the error "grub error 15" by reinstalling grub? I moved my root directory so I could upgrade to ext4, and now I get the grub error 15 on bootup. I'm about to try stuff with the Super Grub Disc, but any help would be appreciated. [02:59] Joeseph, let me look up that error first [02:59] eseven73, http://www.keelog.com/diy.html [02:59] ward thanks ill check it out [03:00] eseven73, i would suggest getting some epoxy on it though, so it cannot short when people pinch the cable, etc [03:00] Joeseph: mayhaps http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=297261 will help? [03:00] eseven73, also built it into the keyboards maybe, and try to make it look normal [03:00] stealthy [03:00] joeseph: sounds like he basically did a "grub-install" command [03:01] yeah I don't think ill do that ward, but thanks anyways [03:01] oh you could maybe even built the circuit in the keyboard case :-) [03:01] im not a hardware person really :) [03:01] Hey all. I am getting a message when I boot that the Network Manger applet does not have access to the keyring, so i have to grant permission every time I boot. When I check the password and encryption settings, the default key only lists None. Prompt for Key. Any Suggs? [03:01] joeseph: and of course, make sure your menu.lst file is right [03:01] eseven73, its pretty trivial, maybe you can find some student to make it for you for some pocketmoney or something [03:02] you can also buy them finished if i understood correctly [03:03] essial: Would the menu.lst file really be the problem? It gives me the error before It gives me any options... Unless it's missing of course.... Oh well, I'll do some exploring.. Thanks. [03:03] Howdy all. Was wondering if the current release of the nVidia drivers have a way to shrink the desktop to compensate for overscanning problems on a HDTV display? [03:03] Hi, I am trying to install ubuntu on a previous installation. I had my /home setup as a separate partition. I'm doing the manual partitioning, do I have to tell the installer to use my partition as /home, or do I simply let go without specifying a /home partition? [03:03] shrink [03:03] mib_nhfx5m, You need to specify [03:03] Joeseph: then most likely a grub-install may be needed [03:04] During the installer it should ask you too [03:04] Joeseph: of course, just a wild guess though, take it as it is ;) [03:05] mib_nhfx5m, you have to tell it to mount your existing partition as /home without reformatting [03:05] Is it possible to have an ad-hoc home server with ubuntu server? (ie no router) [03:05] usser: how do I say that? [03:05] yes! Carefule mib_nhfx5m Don't reformat or all your data will be lost!! [03:06] Well you click on the /home partition and set the mount point (don't change the format) in the manual installer [03:06] mib_nhfx5m, manual partitioning, create a / partition, and modify your existing partition, somewhere there it should mention mount point, set it to /home [03:06] Well... I just reinstalled grub.... I'll see what happens now..... [03:06] usser: Ok, got it [03:07] usser: would you happen to know if theres a way to convert a EXT3 partition to EXT4 without having to backup the data? [03:07] Hello, whats a good software for backing up audio cds? [03:07] Joeseph: heh good luck [03:07] Joeseph: if it doesn't boot just use the live CD to get back in [03:08] mib_nhfx5m, There is a way to convert ext3 to ext4 I don't know how to do it. It is dangerous. Google it! [03:08] kerebrus, brasero or k3b [03:08] Ah come on! Same error! essial: Yeah, I've been using my live flash drive, it's faster that way. Hmmmm......... what to do next..... [03:08] What about EXT3 vs EXT4? any use? [03:09] any use? [03:09] What do you mean? [03:09] bastid_raZor: brasero backs up to iso as far as I can tell, ill try k3b, thanks for the help [03:09] Well, is it useful at all to convert EXT3 to EXT4? will there be any performance upgrade? anything worth using EXT4? [03:10] kerebrus, an iso is the perfect format.. you can mount it or reburn it [03:10] anyone know how well supported the intel g41 chipset is on Linux? [03:10] alo, Anyone here install JDK6 using bin file? [03:11] bastid_raZor: im wanting to back up the individual audio files, so I can burn some of the music not the whole cd [03:11] ext4 is supposedly much faster? And helps ubuntu's rediculously fast boot times [03:11] Can anyone help with my default keyring issue? [03:11] Howdy all. Was wondering if the current release of the nVidia drivers have a way to shrink the desktop to compensate for overscanning problems on a HDTV display? [03:12] kerebrus, if you decide k3b, snag the kubuntu-restricted-extras package [03:16] hello [03:16] hi, i can use my wireless card to connect to the internet and it works fine, but i cant browse the network places. i can browse my wired network places but not wireless. however everyone else can see and browse my computer wirelessly. [03:17] Howdy all, I was just wondering if there was a super secret setting on the curent nVidia driver to shrink the desktop to compensate for overscan issues? [03:18] Hey all. I am getting a message when I boot that the Network Manger applet does not have access to the keyring, so i have to grant permission every time I boot. When I check the password and encryption settings, the default key only lists None. Prompt for Key. Any Suggs? [03:18] !xorg [03:18] The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution [03:18] well that wasn't helpful [03:19] has anyone tried linux mint 7? [03:20] essial, What is your question? lol === StorageGuest3165 is now known as Bruce [03:20] SFalcon: have you tried going to system->administrator->NVIDIA X server settings? [03:20] * robdig thinks that FloodBot3 is bored [03:20] hi, i can use my wireless card to connect to the internet and it works fine, but i cant browse the network places. i can browse my wired network places but not wireless. however everyone else can see and browse my computer wirelessly. [03:21] ed_debian: i was hoping it'd have something useful for the overscan problem that guy was asking about [03:21] has anyone tried linux mint 7 (gloria)? [03:21] jedimaster0o0: Firewall? [03:21] I wish Ubuntu had a say command like Mac OS X. [03:22] Yea, there is nothing there. In the windows driver as soon as I connected the PC to the HDTV I was asked to set the screen up. Ubuntu doesn't. [03:22] no its not a firewall [03:22] hello [03:22] as far as i can tell anyway [03:22] sorry, I didn't mentino that I was connecting to a TV [03:22] SFalcon: Was your tv listed as one of the display devices? [03:23] Can someone please help me? I can no longer access the internet in Ubuntu 9.04. It worked fine previously in Ubuntu 9.04. I am connecting wirelessly with a PCMCIA card. I can connect to my network but when I open firefox I get "server not found." I have tried more than one card but still have had no luck. [03:23] yes, its gave the correct name === bgupta|away is now known as bgupta [03:23] Xpistos: does ubuntu have a default firewall that i dont know of? [03:24] mib_2wrng20y: I had that issue when I upgraded to 9.0.4 I changed my dns address to an opendns address and it worked for me. [03:24] haha "You are not supposed to show G_IO_ERROR_FAILED_HANDLED in the UI" [03:25] SFalcon: under NVIDA X server Settings theres a setting called X Server Display Configuration that lets you change the settings of the display device that you choose [03:25] hi, i can use my wireless card to connect to the internet and it works fine, but i cant browse the network places. i can browse my wired network places but not wireless. however everyone else can see and browse my computer wirelessly. [03:25] anyone know a good terminal instead of gnome terminal? [03:25] Just making sure, partitions are numbered by the order in the drive, and not in the order of creation, right? [03:26] i am using ubuntu on windows and trying to set up a dlink dwa 130 wireless. i have installed ndiswrappe and the drivers. they are associated. but there are no wireless links in my wicd network manager [03:26] b14ck: yakuake isn't bad [03:26] can someone help please [03:26] ubuntu on windows? [03:26] yes [03:26] how so [03:26] im looking for a terminal that preferably allows automatic copy of whatever is highlighted [03:26] jedimaster0o0: I don't believe so, just usually when access foes one way it is usually a firewall issue. They can see you = you don't have a firewall. You can't see them = firewall on their end [03:26] brianguertin: wubi [03:26] could static ip's cause my wireless network places to go away? [03:26] kinda like putty [03:26] bl4ck: whats wrong with the gnome terminal? [03:27] mmm i have ubuntu sorry [03:27] b14ck: why? [03:27] windows pc also [03:27] well specificallyo, with gnome terminal when i select the text colors and background color, it messes up my vim syntax coloring [03:27] it wont respect vim colors [03:27] and i use vim 24/7 [03:27] jedimaster0o0, are you connecting with wireless and wired at the same time? [03:27] yes [03:28] vim auto coloring ... [03:28] It allows for me to use panning and such but I need reverse panning. Instead of making the desktop larger I need it smaller. My menu bars are disapearing [03:28] lol who needs syntax coloring [03:28] and i could access wireless for a bit, but then i got the wired connection working and it all went bad [03:28] kerebrus, sytnax coloring is awesome [03:29] how do I send a message to someone? [03:29] kk found it [03:29] b14ck: I mean there's things like xterm and such, but I'm a GUI guy, until I find a BRIEF editor, i'll just use gedit :) [03:29] anyone done software raid in ubuntu [03:29] jedimaster0o0, from my experience that doesn't go so well. you have to use one or the other.. although i have only tried using both a very few times. [03:29] all i want is the name of a terminal that will respect vim coloring [03:29] have to use both. unfortunatly. [03:29] so i can install it and not use gnome-terminal anymore [03:29] lol [03:29] bl4ck: was a joke I dont use vim never got used to it after I learned joe. [03:30] Is there any way I can get grub to be more verbose? I'm getting a simple "Error 15", but I would like it to print out as much relevant information as possible. Is this possible? [03:30] Wow, I installed ubuntu from a ISO, and it failed to install stuffs like ubuntu-desktop (it failed to configure apt and stuffs). Now I'm stuck in a console and when I do sudo apt-get install ubuntu-destkop, it asks me to put the CD in /cdrom/, eventho I have mounted the ISO to another location. [03:31] b14ck: how about gvim? don't think it uses gnome-terminal... [03:31] i dont want to use gvim. i want to do coding from the command line [03:32] \lo eth0 pan0 all show no wireless conjnection [03:32] connection [03:33] b14ck: gnome-terminal is such a terminal... [03:33] gnome-terminal won't respect vim color schemes for some reason [03:33] b14ck, xterm [03:33] b14ck: mine does [03:33] anyone able to give me a hand with a tar.gz extraction error? can't seem to extract this driver no matter how i do it or where i get it [03:33] Alright, so I'm in a grub command line via live usb. Whenever I type device (hd0,0) it says "Error 15: File not found" How do I fix thiS/ [03:34] b14ck: what exactly do you mean by "won't respect"? [03:34] Hopefully a new install of ubuntu will fix the issues I had... and let me install apache and mysql. [03:34] jrib, if i go to profile preferences, under colors i have text color set to red, and background color set to black. this works fine! but when i go into vim i have vim set to use the pablo color scheme. instead of using that scheme, it makes all the text red [03:34] kerebrus ok i'm gonna try that... [03:34] arkhalis: what is the error? [03:34] jrib, so it clobbers vim's color preferences with those set in gnome-terminal for basic style [03:34] b14ck: pastebin the relevant parts of your .vimrc [03:34] sure [03:34] robdig: gzip: stdin: decompression OK, trailing garbage ignored [03:34] tar: Child returned status 2 [03:34] tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors [03:35] jrib: http://pastebin.com/m313c8b2d [03:35] Please help. .... I'm not really sure how to boot my linux image..... silly grub error 15. [03:36] Joeseph: what are you trying to do exactly? boot a iso? [03:36] arkhalis: so you're using a command like tar -zxvf file? [03:37] robdig: it's a tar.gz file... just right clicking and extract here... should i be using command line? [03:37] hello does anyone know a good pdf EDITOR/not creator [03:37] mib_nhfx5m: I'm trying to boot ubuntu. I copied my root partition so that I could upgrade to ext4. (sudo cp -r -a) , then copied it back. Now, grub comes up with "error 15" [03:37] arkhalis: might be worth a try [03:37] Which is a file not found error. [03:38] Joeseph: I'm not sure its the right way to upgrade to ext4 but well. [03:38] I dont see what the love affair is with ext4 [03:38] Joeseph: try this. Boot to grub, press escape (to enter grub menu), press c (to enter grub console) [03:38] robdig: /newbie... how might i go about doing that? (i wouldn't be so worried about it if it weren't the only way to get my wired ethernet working ><) [03:38] Joeseph: then type root (hdx,y) [03:38] b14ck: ok, I see what you are saying now. However, are you sure that this isn't proper behavior? What part of pablo.vim do you expect to set the color for text? [03:38] Joeseph: x being the # for your hard drive, and y the root partition [03:39] how do you completely wipe the system of something with apt-get [03:39] Joeseph: you know how this works? when you type "root (hd" press tab to see the drives and partition available [03:39] apt-get purge? [03:39] jrib, if you turn your gnome-terminal settings back to default, then open up a file (with my .vimrc file), you will see how pablo colorscheme is *supposed* to look. for example, here is a screenshot of it with the colors messed up (using pablo) http://projectb14ck.org/files/temp/Screenshot.png [03:39] bk, Apt-Get Self-destruct.3.2.1 ;-) [03:39] bk do you have synaptic installed? [03:39] arkhalis: open a terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), cd to the directory with the file in it, and then type tar -zxvf filename [03:40] Joeseph: then type kernel /path/to/vmlinuz/file (in /boot/vmlinuzxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [03:40] Joeseph: then type initrd /boot/initrdxxxxxxxxxx [03:40] Joeseph: then type boot [03:40] b14ck: that's fine. I don't see where the pablo.vim colorscheme specifies the color for the foreground text, can you point that out to me? [03:40] http://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Ext4_Howto Joeseph read the part about Ubuntu [03:40] mbrandt: yes [03:40] jrib, let me look... [03:40] robdig: simple enough... only part i wouldn't have known is the -zxvf I'll give it a shot, thanks for the help ^^ [03:41] Joeseph: this should boot into your kernel. Once you booted in ubuntu, you can edit /boot/grub/menu.lst to match your setup (people can help out here once you reach that point) [03:41] mib_nhfx5m: I've done the 'root (hd0,0)' on a live boot with the 'sudo grub' command. But, I don't get the grub menu to press escape on. I'll try to do it though. [03:41] http://flotier.pastebin.com/d1ceff5ec [03:41] i get that when installing clamav [03:41] after removing it [03:41] arkhalis: np, good luck [03:41] what command can I run (in console) to open a file using the default application for that file, whatever that application is? I'm using gnome. [03:41] bk, open synaptic...find the package you want to remove...right click...choose Mark For Complete Removal [03:41] mib_nhfx5m the cd rom is likely the location of in your sources.list [03:42] bk that'll get everything but dependancies [03:42] robdig: success! /note to self, command line ftw [03:42] With a gnome application launcher if I need to set LD_PRELOAD to something before it executes the app how do I do that? [03:42] arkhalis: awesome [03:42] b14ck: if I modify it to specify a ctermfg color for Normal text, then it works as you want [03:42] jrib, you're right. i don't see it specified [03:43] mbrandt: i get the same error after doing that [03:43] bk what error are you getting [03:43] ? [03:43] theshadow could you use a script? [03:43] http://flotier.pastebin.com/d1ceff5ec [03:43] hey my microphone doesn't work on skype in 8.10 - anyone else? [03:44] essial, ok it worked lol [03:44] Joeseph: if you installed grub, you can get into the grub console. [03:44] mib_nhfx5m: I can't get into the grub menu without using a live cd. I see "GRUB Loading stage1.5. \n GRUB loading, please wait... \n Error 15" (\n for new line) [03:44] oi, anyoen here familiar with a Freez issue, involving ubuntu/debian and wireless drivers? [03:44] How do I know if I am running as Root or not? [03:44] whoami SFalcon [03:44] Joeseph: then you didnt install grub. [03:44] Iron_Chef, I remember I had to manually select the microphone from the volume control app for it to work in Skype [03:44] Its freezing my system and causign the capslock light to blink [03:45] mib_nhfx5m: What do you mean? [03:45] Joeseph: you cant boot from the CD? [03:45] mib_nhfx5m: I can boot from a Cd. [03:45] mbrandt: do you know why thats happening? [03:45] Joeseph: use a live CD, that doesnt matter, but dont boot from it, just use its grub (or boot from it and reinstall grub once ure booted) [03:46] ok I have done a sudo -s and now I am root... How do I get back to just me? [03:46] mib_nhfx5m: Okay. Do I reinstall grub with the command 'setup (hd0)'? [03:46] Joeseph: your next step should simply be reinstall grub. [03:46] SFalcon: exit [03:46] dash9afk, nope, it's selected - i can hear it through my headphones, just doesn't send to skype [03:47] bk [03:47] Joeseph: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351 [03:47] sorry [03:47] ? [03:47] bk have you tried re-installing and then uninstalling the software [03:47] mib_nhfx5m: I've already followed that thread and did what it said. [03:47] mbrandt: i get that error while installing after uninstalling [03:47] Hey guys, somebody know how to calibrate LCD colors on linux ? [03:48] bk, sorry then man, you got me stumped on that one [03:48] mbrandt: could a reboot fix it? [03:49] bk you can always try that [03:49] can anyone else help bk with uninstalling clamAV? [03:49] Just making sure... partitions are labeled (numbered) according to their physical location on the hard disk, and not the order that they were created, correct? [03:49] mbrandt: ok, ill be back, i might have to contact clamav [03:49] on windows we use *.icc files, with color profiles... [03:49] biab [03:49] bk [03:49] ok [03:50] is there a ubuntu dev channel? [03:50] gauge: yes #ubuntu-dev I do believe [03:50] cool. [03:50] I'm havign a kernel panic and I need soem answers. [03:51] benjamim: haven't used it, but maybe the xcalib tool? [03:51] gauge: well that channel is not what you think it is though [03:52] hello alll [03:52] all* [03:52] mib_nhfx5m: I've followed that thread, reinstalled grub, and I still boot up to the Error 15. I don't quite understand the problem. Any idea? [03:52] gauge: most likely your question goes in this channel [03:52] mib_nhfx5m: Like, when I boot up, all I see is GRUB starting to load, the Error 15, then a blinking cursor that I can do nothing with. [03:52] hello :) [03:53] SFalcon, type exit, logout or D [03:53] ^D is fastest ;-) [03:53] oh [03:53] ok... new question. How do i compile a driver from source? [03:53] well, anyone familiar with a blinking caps lock? and iwl4965 drivers? [03:54] type 'make' and 'make install' in it's source arkhalis [03:54] read "README" [03:54] Hmm... reading readme's r be gud idea... thanks Iron_Chef ^^ [03:54] *in it's source directory [03:54] !compile | arkhalis [03:54] arkhalis: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [03:54] mbrandt: http://flotier.pastebin.com/m7bb54537 [03:54] arkhalis, nps [03:55] mbrandt: still getting the error, thats the entire install output [03:55] * arkhalis feels even dumber now... [03:55] what are the other alternatives to mediatomb that works with a xbox360? [03:55] When I'm running the grub menu from a live cd, I am actually changing my MBR's grub install? [03:57] bk are you installing from apt-get? [03:57] guys i gotta question i have a sony vaio laptop that has a connection on it to hook my hd tv to it via vga port on side of it in windows i just connect the cable and it shows on my tv my desktop is that option included in ubuntu 9.04 ? [03:58] Sorry, but I can't boot my productive pc.... Any help with error 15? I'm not quite understanding where it's not finding a file. Is there any way I can turn on 'verbose mode' or something? [03:58] mbrandt: i did it from aptitude and synaptec [03:58] mbrandt: do i need to do it from apt-get [03:58] does anyone know of a tool to find out information about your openGL driver? (more fine grained than glxinfo, for instance I would like to know how many texture units I have available) [03:58] bk no, I was just wondering if this was a package por something you rolled [03:58] Weed37: yes but you will most likely have to do some configuring though [03:58] testing? [03:58] does anyone know what are the other alternatives to mediatomb that works with a xbox360? please :-) [03:59] bk I don't know what to do to help you [03:59] bk sorry [03:59] ok i will give it a go now ad post results [03:59] and* [03:59] mbrandt: ok, thanks anyways man, ill go to the clamav crew and see [03:59] can anyone help with loading Linux on a JUIX chipset [03:59] bk Good Luck man [04:00] kitche, no it dont work [04:00] mbrandt: thanks, ill need it haha, do you know of any other good av's besides bd, and avast [04:00] any ideas [04:00] Okay fine I give up.

[04:01] my display is samsung syncmaster 551v and dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg doesn't pops up monitors list to choose one from ? [04:02] I just installed ubuntu 9.04 (fresh install) over my existing 9.04 install (kept my home partition) and I'm getting all sorts of problems. My network stopped working randomly... [04:02] no paaa [04:02] Weed37, ?? [04:02] i get no option at all [04:02] my display is samsung syncmaster 551v and dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg doesn't pops up monitors list to choose one from ?

[04:03] Weed37, * sorry Webu [04:03] bk, sounds like there is a dependancy missing but the output doesn't say what it is [04:04] nvm m8 [04:04] guys i gotta question i have a sony vaio laptop that has a connection on it to hook my hd tv to it via vga port on side of it in windows i just connect the cable and it shows on my tv my desktop is that option included in ubuntu 9.04 ? [04:04] this was my question [04:04] Wow, my wireless works, but my wired connection doesnt work... [04:05] mbrandt: yea i have no clue [04:05] and the clamav channel is dead [04:05] It says I'm not connected, I cant go to google, but I can go to my router web interface [04:06] Hello. I would like to know if there is a way to remove synaptic and re install it? [04:06] bk, it's saturday night, the only reason I'm here is I'm @ work LOL [04:06] mib: sounds more like a router problem [04:06] mbrandt: lol yea true [04:07] mib_nhfx5m: if you can get to router but not google, then perhaps you don't have ubuntu set to send dns requests to your router [04:07] mib_nhfx5m: Sounds more like a router problem than an Eth problem. [04:08] bk do you have any clam-av services running when trying to uninstall? [04:08] mbrandt: hmmm, im not sure, i didnt think of that [04:08] bk try "killall clamav" prior to uninstalling [04:09] tkmr: robdig actually, its not a router problem. Its a problem with ubuntu. Is it possible that ubuntu doesnt give my user access to eth0? [04:09] bk or psaux | grep clam to kill EVERYTHING that clam has running [04:09] tkmr: robdig When I use ifconfig, eth0 seems to be good enough [04:10] tkmr: robdig and I'm here talking to you on my other computer connected to the same router. [04:10] Strange question here, but my friend here has a NTFS filesystem that horribly crashed and doesn't want to reboot. According to Puppy Linux, it is listed as being in hibernation mode. Is there a way to fix this from Ubuntu? [04:10] mbrandt: i got nothing, nothings running for clam [04:10] mib_nhfx5m: I'm assuming you have already put the device down and back up? [04:10] bk welp it was worth a shot [04:10] mbrandt: is there a log showing deps for that software, or aptitude search i can do [04:11] err let me rephrase my question [04:11] he is UNABLE to boot it [04:11] what command can I run (in console) to open a file using the default application for that file, whatever that application is? I'm using gnome. << I found, it's gnome-open [04:11] bk you can prob look on Launchpad and it should tell you all deps for the package [04:11] Is there a way to reset all configurations of my connections [04:11] DG19075: it depends on the app [04:11] hello [04:11] mbrandt: whats launchpad [04:12] bk: wait one I'll find the link for you [04:12] !launchpad [04:12] Launchpad is a collection of development services for Open Source projects. It's Ubuntu's bug tracker, and much more; see https://launchpad.net/ [04:12] mbrandt: ok cool [04:12] Strange question here, but my friend has a NTFS filesystem that horribly crashed, and doesn't seem willing to boot. According to Puppy Linux, it is listed as being in hibernation mode. Is there a way to fix this from Ubuntu, so that he can mount it and back up his files? [04:13] (edited for clarity^) [04:13] mib_nhfx5m: if you type nslookup google.com does it show your router as the dns server? [04:15] Surlent777: So the NTFS drive is mounted in Puppy, and Puppy says the drive is in hibernation mode? [04:15] Onee-chan, :) [04:15] c0mp13371331337: No, the NTFS drive is not mounted. When I tested a Puppy USB, it told me that the NTFS was unmountable due to being in hibernation mode [04:15] Rubix, what [04:15] Rubix: !?! [04:15] my OSD keeps displaying and refreshing, it wont go away [04:15] hola [04:16] robdig: I tried sudo ifdown eth0 and sudo ifup eth0, now I can connect [04:16] what's the default directory [04:16] for jdk [04:16] lol we got a weaboo on board [04:16] robdig: however, the icon in the top right corner still say I am not connected. [04:16] mib_nhfx5m: ah. are you on 8.10? i had to do that at every boot while on 8.10 :( [04:16] greg_, hmm? [04:16] Surlent777: Try this: sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda3 /mnt/windows -o ro [04:16] Can someone please help me? I can no longer access the internet in Ubuntu 9.04. It worked fine previously in Ubuntu 9.04. I am connecting wirelessly with a PCMCIA card. I can connect to my network but when I open firefox I get "server not found." I have tried more than one card but still have had no luck. [04:16] Surlent777: Replacing the appropriate locations, of course. [04:17] testing, did i set up right is this working ? [04:17] c0mp13371331337: Just for my reference, what exactly am I telling the mount command to force here?

[04:35] woops, sorry [04:35] maco: Windows was there first. [04:35] pizzledizzle: I do believe that the kernel creates and mounts those, or in udevs case the udev application mounts it [04:36] mib_nhfx5m, odd :-/ === ubuntu is now known as krepta [04:36] jthomas: helo [04:36] Surlent777: Hmmm.... odd... try maybe cd-ing to the directory from the command line?

[04:47] just making sure, gonna kill it jrib [04:47] sound is disabled jrib [04:47] fpsdavid: you are going to kill grep? [04:47] no [04:47] how do I mount the partition that contains grub? I don't know which partition has it. Windows is on /dev/sda1 and ubuntu is on /dev/sda5 [04:47] i wanna kill mythfrontend [04:48] im my sound panel it shows that my driver is not connected [04:48] fpsdavid: looks like grep to me... [04:48] WWhat intends to symbolize the light blue icon (symbol) of Empathy? [04:48] mohan_: so what would reinstalling alsa do/ [04:48] jrib: how do i find mythfrontend's PID then? [04:49] jrib: i think i have screwed up installation of alsa.. [04:49] /quit [04:49] err sorry [04:49] jrib: maybe that would be the source of problem [04:49] mohan_: why? did you screw it up? [04:50] krepta May be 'which grub' does help you along. [04:50] krepta, in a terminal type mkdir ubuntu && sudo mount /dev/sda5 /ubuntu .. then your file will be located in /ubuntu/boot/grub/menu.lst .. [04:50] fpsdavid: well if that's the only output you got from that command, then there is no process called "mythfrontend" running... unless maybe it's running as another user? [04:50] jrib: there is an order in which alsa is to be compiled right.. First Alsa base and alsa util so and so.. but i think i have done something wrong, that my system is not detecting the sound card [04:50] mohan_: erm, why are you compiling alsa at all? alsa comes with ubuntu [04:50] well, i have a problem then jrib. once i exit mythfrontend, all i see is black and a cursor, no desktop, right click doesn't work (i've restarted, no luck) [04:51] fpsdavid: but you can get to a tty I assume? [04:51] jrib: yeah.. because i uninstalled it previously and to get latest alsa driver, as i need low letacy [04:51] mount point /ubuntu does not exist [04:51] jrib, whats a tty [04:51] mohan_: so what is your question? [04:51] etr [04:51] fpsdavid: ctrl-alt-f1 [04:51] Oh wow, the Midori in the repos is at version 0.1.2, but 0.1.7 is out... Now to figure out how to compile it. === anyone is now known as Guest65618 [04:52] the grub I'm having trouble with is the grub on my hard drive, I am using the LIVECD to be able to do anything at all, therefore I do not want to do anything with the grub on the live cd [04:52] jrib, whats that do? i alt+f4 and it brings up the login/logout window [04:52] jrib: how to reinstall alsa, removing all previous installation of alsa lib and other things.. [04:52] hello , anyone [04:52] mohan_: if you need low latancy, try ubuntu studio or studio. They both use a realtime kernel [04:52] fpsdavid: gets you to tty1. ctrl-alt-f7 brings you back. But didn't you say all you see is a black screen? [04:52] jrib: yep, all black, a cursor, nothing else. [04:52] UnderSampled: it was working yesterday.. i screwed it up [04:53] fpsdavid: so can you get to a tty? [04:53] jrib: let me check [04:53] krepta, sudo mkdir ubuntu then try the mount [04:53] in which file is set the uid ? [04:53] krepta: on the mount command change /ubuntu to ./ubuntu [04:53] maxagaz: why? [04:53] UnderSampled: as this is a production system, i have compiled all the necessary softwares.. And ubuntu studio jaunty is buggy [04:54] UnderSampled: its RT kernel hangs [04:54] jrib, i want to add a new user [04:54] maxagaz: use adduser [04:54] maxagaz: or system -> administration -> users and groups [04:54] jrib, i want to add it manually [04:54] I have java 6 jre installed, but now programs are complaining that they can not find the jre. I have been trying to learn j2ee and glassfish. [04:54] jrib, it's on a server [04:54] maxagaz: yeah, use adduser. [04:54] arma [04:55] jrib: yeah, that worked [04:55] mohan_: have you tried studio? It's not in the ubuntu family, but it's based on debian like ubuntu is [04:55] jrib: still black after ctrlaltf7 though [04:55] fpsdavid: that's fine [04:55] jrib, adduser or useradd ? i don't need /home folder [04:55] mohan_: opps, I mean t to say '64 studio' [04:55] maxagaz: then use useradd [04:55] hello i have samsung syncmaster 551v and ubuntu doesn't detect it ?? [04:55] Ok, I found the problem, my terminal did not have me located at Root, it's located inside my home directory, so it created ubuntu directory there. [04:55] jrib, but still i'd like to know in which file is set the uid [04:56] fpsdavid: pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log and /etc/X11/xorg.conf for the channel [04:56] maxagaz: but why...? [04:56] Wow, installing ubuntu screwed my windows boot [04:56] UnderSampled: no.. will try another time.. its ok even if this system is running low letacy but i want my sound back.. pls help me..

[05:14] robdig thx [05:14] krepta, http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/grub-error-dual-booting-linux-and-winxp-371087/ .. this may be the solution. read the whole page. the last post seems to be more your set up [05:14] Bradlays, are you wireless or wired? [05:15] wireless [05:15] is there safe-mode for the ubuntu when it is broken [05:15] how to list only the date and name of the files in a directory ? [05:15] Bradlays, usually wireless works without any extra configs [05:15] Sheep! It Is the abuntu server i am talking about. [05:15] cool, guess I will give it a shot [05:15] Bradlays, and if not just pop the cd out and reboot into windows [05:15] yea [05:15] how do I check the checksum of a Kubuntu dvd download? [05:16] I like windows 7 right now, it has some good features [05:16] Bradlays: Linux can do the same thing Windows does. Mac can do the the same thing Windows does. Windows viruses does not affect linux at all. You might want to read this. [05:16] !lnw | Bradlays [05:16] Bradlays: Want to know the differences between Windows and Linux? This guide, called "Linux is Not Windows" is a pretty good read -- http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm [05:16] jjibn: yes, reboot, and after bios menu goes away, you will see a 3 second grub countdown. press esc before it goes to 0, then select recover [05:16] thanks ubottu Ill read that right now === XPS_M1330 is now known as Ratapoil [05:16] !md5 | gabriel [05:17] gabriel: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [05:17] What is a good WYSISYG website editor?

[05:17] Ratapoil: sawfish isn't bad [05:17] thanks [05:17] Ratapoil: use open office [05:18] For our sake... dont! [05:18] haha [05:18] lol didn't know that [05:18] Build it following the W3C standards [05:18] Windows and ubuntu are both on the same hard drive, I want windows, in sda1, to boot by default, and linux, in sda5, to be an option on the menu. I have no idea what to do. These web pages are confusing me, I am not working with two hard drives. [05:18] Ratapoil : use kompozer [05:19] ubottu, Nice article [05:19] Sorry, I don't know anything about Nice article [05:19] genii: sawfish looks more like a window manager [05:19] ubottu, is a bot LOL [05:19] Sorry, I don't know anything about is a bot LOL [05:19] Glebelg: I've tried kompozer before. Is there no better software? [05:19] my head hurts. :( [05:19] That was kinda funny [05:20] krepta, if you don't try any of the solutions .. how do you know they don't work. [05:20] Amaya and Kompozer are about it, I think. [05:20] Does Verizon,Sprint air cards work plug/play with Ubntu 8.04!!! [05:20] Ratapoil: I like open office for wysiwyg [05:20] Ratapoil: What are you looking to build? [05:20] emacs....but its not wysiwyg [05:20] Ratapoil: Apologies, I had a brain fart. I meant bluefish [05:20] Detrix, I know they do with 9.04 [05:21] Detrix, with 8.04 I had a VZW card and it worked PnP [05:21] mib_nhfx5m: a website with maybe 10 html pages [05:21] wysiwyg doesnt really work for web... I like wyciwyg (What you code is what you get) [05:21] Ratapoil: html isnt hard, css either. [05:21] Ok, I'm trying the solution at the bottom of the page of the second link I recieved, however, I must reboot and see what happens. *sigh* I have no idea if this will work. [05:22] i screwed up my grub and now i cant fix it. i set it to use the grub on the partition for my 8.04 install, now it doesnt recognize my 9.04 install at boot time [05:22] mib_nhfx5m: I know it's better but I don't have that time. I know HTML already. But I'm making this website for someone who will need to be able to update it by himself afterwards [05:22] if it doesn't work, I'll have to come back here.

[05:24] kerebrus_: mplayer [05:24] kerebrus_: VLC. [05:24] My network manager is screwed up, I cant get it to work with eth0. Can anyone tell me how to configure it? [05:24] mib_nhfx5m: what's wrong with it [05:24] ok... well, thanks, I guess. [05:24] vlc closes soon as it starts to load dvd [05:25] fryguy: my wired connection doesnt work. I have to do sudo ifdown eth0, sudo ifup eth0 everytime I reboot [05:25] kerebrus_: Commercial DVD? [05:25] yes and mplayer crashed very hard [05:25] mib_nhfx5m: define "doesn't work"? No connectivity? fail at dns? do you have a route table? does an ip get assigned? [05:26] kerebrus_: I believe you will have to disable the desktop effects. [05:26] kerebrus, did you install any codecs [05:26] kerebrus_: Meh. I haven't ran a DVD for long time but you need a certain package that can decrypt DVDs as you're running a encrypted DVD. [05:27] fryguy: if I reboot, I can only connect to my router, and the network manager shows the X sign as if I have no connection. I have to do sudo ifdown eth0, sudo ifup eth0 to make it work. [05:27] i have all the codecs and lib files [05:27] fryguy: my network manager is simply not doing its job. How do I flush it out and reinstall it... [05:27] fryguy: or how do I configure it to work with my eth0? [05:27] mib_nhfx5m: so, that doesn't really answer any of my questions [05:27] kerebrus_: Did you read this --> https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/musicvideophotos/C/video-dvd.html [05:27] mib_nhfx5m: do you have a route table? do you have dns entries? [05:27] kerebrus_: You're running Jaunty? [05:28] fryguy: I can only connect to my router. So no dns [05:28] mib_nhfx5m: what about connecting to an IP outside of the router? [05:28] mobi-sheep: yes [05:28] fryguy: Havent tried [05:28] mib_nhfx5m: well, try that [05:28] fryguy: But I just fixed it [05:28] kerebrus_: See the link I post up ther.e [05:29] fryguy: I had to edit /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf [05:29] mobi-sheep: have all of that installed already [05:30] kerebrus_: Mmm. [05:30] mib_nhfx5m: you can also just uninstall networkmanager, which tends to be easier in my experience [05:30] kerebrus_: I don't know. I haven't used DVD for some time now. :X [05:30] fryguy: didnt work [05:30] kerebrus_: do you have the desktop effects enabled? [05:30] file not found [05:30] DrMrHorse: then you didn't do it right [05:30] Detrix: where would I find that out? [05:30] DrMrHorse: /boot/grub/menu.lst [05:30] fryguy: you dont seem helpful. good day. [05:31] i screwed up my grub and now i cant fix it. i set it to use the grub on the partition for my 8.04 install, now it doesnt recognize my 9.04 install at boot time [05:31] fryguy: yea, but I dont have time to mess with that today [05:31] !ipv6 [05:31] For an introduction to IPv6 and information on tunneling IPv6 through IPv4 connections, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IPv6 | To disable IPv6 see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WebBrowsingSlowIPv6IPv4 [05:31] kerebrus_: Last one... [05:31] !dvd | kerebrus_ [05:31] DrMrHorse: edit your menu.lst to add it, in /boot/grub/menu.lst, like you've already been told [05:31] kerebrus_: 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 [05:31] kerebrus_: that probably means no. but to be sure go to system -> preferences -> apperence [05:32] How do I disable ipv6 on 9.04? [05:32] kerebrus_: when the window opens, go to the tab on far right "visual effects" [05:33] What is the module name? [05:33] Detrix: normal [05:33] fryguy: good day, like youve been told [05:33] kerebrus_: ok, try none....sucks but the visual effects take up resourse [05:34] DrMrHorse: lol [05:34] does anyone know how to add free space to a windows partition using linux? [05:34] kkkyle: use gparted to resize a partition [05:34] kkkyle: Gparted. [05:34] you delete files [05:35] thanks [05:35] kkkyle: Make sure you know what you're doing. :X [05:35] i will' [05:35] Detrix: lol no thanks I like my desktop looking good, ill just rip the vid to iso then watch it then delete it. [05:36] hello, grub is giving error 18 now, maybe it was before and I mistakenly thought it was error 13... I dunno [05:36] 18 : Selected cylinder exceeds maximum supported by BIOS [05:36] This error is returned when a read is attempted at a linear block address beyond the end of the BIOS translated area. This generally happens if your disk is larger than the BIOS can handle (512MB for (E)IDE disks on older machines or larger than 8GB in general). krepta .. heh .. how did you manage that? [05:37] kerebrus_: understood. :) [05:37] krepta: are you using a very old (>5 years) machine, or an exotic raid or other hard drive configuration [05:37] Detrix: thanks for the help though [05:37] uh, well, I already had windows xp installed in a fat32 partition, and I installed ubuntu in the free space after that on the hard drive [05:38] It is kind of old, Gateway 450ROG laptop [05:38] kerebrus_: though it might be easer to turn off the effects, watch the movie, then turn the effects back on. [05:38] so, what can I do? [05:38] Personally, I would buy a new laptop... but thats just me. [05:38] krepta: reinstall grub to the mbr [05:38] I need to leave to go to work in about an hour, probably less. [05:38] Detrix: I tried still wouldnt play. [05:39] !grub | krepta this is the fix i've found [05:39] krepta this is the fix i've found: 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 [05:39] I think the 1024 thing also happens if you try to load linux from a partition which begins after that head size [05:39] how do I reinstall grub? [05:39] oh [05:39] kerebrus_: did you do the css_install? === joshthecoder is now known as joshthecoder_afk [05:40] Debrix: yes, I went to all the links [05:40] i removed fglrx and compiz and installed * ATI related from synaptic but still :( the monitor not detected ??

[05:40] kerebrus_: libdvdcss is in a separate repository not part of a base ubuntu install, take a look at medibuntu [05:41] kerebrus_: libdvdnav4 + libdvdread4 show up / installed ? [05:41] I have libdvdcss and libdvdcss2 installed [05:41] siebel: are you sure you want to block them, and they aren't legitimate packets? (do you understand how tcp works?) [05:41] I want my rails user to have rights to run some commands like "/usr/bin/vim /etc/haproxy.cfg", but this doesn't work in my sudoers : "rails ALL=(rails) /usr/bin/vim /etc/haproxy.cfg", can someone tell me what's wrong with it ? [05:41] mobi-sheep: yes [05:41] kerebrus_: ok I am running out of ideas then..lol [05:41] These hits are coming from ipblock [05:41] fryguy: I have medibuntu installed [05:41] i can't seem to get my 4870x2 to work, i've installed every possible way buy screen just crashes....can anyone help? === Guest79445 is now known as reqon [05:41] maxagaz: why not just chgrp the file ?

[05:42] kerebrus_: Does the DVD actually work? :D [05:42] I am pretty sure they are hits I don't want, but no I do not know how tcp works [05:42] fryguy, because some other groups may need to use it [05:42] !tcp [05:42] Sorry, I don't know anything about tcp [05:42] maxagaz: such as? [05:43] mobi-sheep: if i rip it to an iso, yes [05:43] what's this extra, totally useless blank bar doing on the far right hand side of my screen? [05:43] maxagaz: *nix file permissions are pretty flexible, you should be solving your problem with unix file permissions, not sudo [05:43] kerebrus_: I don't know. You're experiencing an odd issue. [05:43] fryguy, well, that's a solution, but i'd like to do it using sudoers actually [05:43] its like an extra task bar but i cant use it for anything [05:43] mobi-sheep: lol watch this chat, I generally bring the odd issues lol [05:44] je||y: You're talking about GNOME panel? Right-click and remove the panel if that's bothering you. [05:44] does anyone know virtualbox desktop effectS?

You guys are geniuses even if it doesn't work, I sure wish I was as smart. [05:45] je||y: Right-click on that bar and what do you see? [05:45] my problem is some programs are not finding the java jre. its there. it works with eclipse, but netbeans does not.

[05:46] I will reboot now, crossing my fingers. [05:46] donavan01: are you installing to a hard drive? [05:46] Great, I dont have sound! [05:46] *sarcasm* [05:47] mobi-sheep, i am trying to enable simple-ccsm and when i try to enable the "Enable desktop effects" from Desktop settings I get check your X.org log! [05:47] Bigshot_: Hardware Drivers enabled? [05:47] Bigshot_: are you using a driver that supports hardware acceleration? [05:47] how do i check that direct rendering is on [05:48] yes [05:48] glxinfo | grep -i direct [05:48] 3D acceleration is on [05:48] fryguy just doing the running it from the USB ... I am actually trying to get windows to install on this machine (for a friend who is scared of linux) and it keeps hanging at the during the install but DSL linux boots just fine so I am assuming it some instruction seton the cpu or something on the mobo that cause it to crap out [05:49] mobi-sheep, drivers are enabled [05:49] is it normal that i haven't had any new updates in weeks? [05:49] meoblast001: no [05:49] what could be the problem? [05:49] meoblast001: just run apt-get update && apt-get upgrade manually [05:49] fryguy: ok the text just stopped and now I have a nice black screen [05:50] fryguy: Were you giving Bigshot_ a command? "glxinfo | grep -i direct" ? [05:50] mobi-sheep: yes [05:50] fryguy: nothing [05:50] meoblast001: then everything is updated [05:50] Bigshot_: Try the command "glxinfo | grep -i direct" in the terminal and speak with fryguy too. :o [05:50] just the uninstallable brasero update and the failed to install chromium update [05:51] meoblast001: probably want to fix those [05:51] fryguy, direct rendering is ON [05:51] fryguy: i don't know how [05:51] Bigshot_: and you are using a driver that isn't blacklisted by compiz? [05:52] how do i check that? [05:52] virtualbox default driver [05:52] Bigshot_: it told you to check a log file, so i'd suggest checking hat [05:52] folks i'm stuck with unknown monitor and unrecognized ATI radeon drivers in Hardware Drivers program [05:52] there's nothing wrong with the log file fryguy [05:52] paaa: so just configure it manually by editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf [05:53] Bigshot_: NOTHING? it's pretty much impossible to have a pristine Xorg.log file [05:53] fryguy, i tried to force the "SyncMaster 551v" in the monitor section but still get it unknown [05:53] fryguy, hold on let me show it to you [05:53] What am I doing wrong? chmod: changing permissions of `cdrom0': Read-only file system [05:53] Bigshot_: are you running the latest version of virtualbox? and is the version of ubuntu you are trying to use supported by it? [05:54] kerebrus_: you can't change files on a read-only filesystem [05:54] yeah it's the latest one just came out i am using jaunty [05:54] kerebrus_: a cd is a read-only filesystem, you can't change the contents of a cd [05:54] Hi all. I am look for an application comparable to : http://www.macility.com/products/typinator/ [05:54] I know, I'm back again, and again [05:54] still have error 18 [05:55] Can I install a different boot loader? I used to love using Partition Magic's boot manager [05:55] krepta_: sure, nothing else is supported in ubuntu though, so you are on your own for figuring out how to do it [05:55] fryguy, http://pastebin.ca/1441893 [05:56] Bigshot_: (EE) AIGLX: reverting to software rendering [05:56] ugh, I have no idea how to do it, I have no partition magic disk to boot from that I know of [05:56] so what to do? [05:56] Bigshot_: are you running the latest version of virtualbox? and is the version of ubuntu you are trying to use supported by it? [05:56] Why is grub the only booter supported? There are other linux booters [05:56] Anyone know where the dev package for ImageMagick is? I can see the package, but no development headers. [05:56] hello! [05:56] how to install printer in Ubuntu [05:57] how to know if its supported fryguy ? [05:57] krepta_: there are 2, grub and lilo. grub is pretty much better than lilo in every way [05:57] uhm, plug it in, and it works, that all I know. [05:57] Bigshot_: virtualbox documents a compatibility list [05:57] sure, if it works. :) [05:57] What's wrong with grub? [05:57] my grub is giving me error 18, that's what [05:57] Please tell me how to install printer in Ubuntu? [05:57] krepta_: there are probably others, but nothing remotely mature enough to bother mentioning [05:57] I have problems with hp 1005 [05:57] greato: use foomatic [05:58] fryguy, can you check for me? [05:58] Bigshot_: www.virtualbox.org [05:58] I never had trouble installing a printer on ubuntu, I just plugged it in and it worked. [05:58] Bigshot_: i'm not a librarian, the extent of my knowledge is googling and paraphrasing the first result [05:58] fryguy, how can I do install foomatic? [05:58] fryguy: where is fromatic [05:59] fryguy, forcing the monitor name gave me sync out of range all the time instead sync out of range in the splash image part! [05:59] keco: apt-cache search foomatic, install the package that comes up with apt-get install [05:59] paaa: so try doing what I told you to do instead of guessing [05:59] can somebody help me with the follwoing, a friend help me with rsync creting the following script: #!/bin/bash and rsync -v -r -d --delete /home/rgotten/Prueba/Myplasticare /home/rgotten/mnt/ >> /home/rgotten/logs/respaldo-`date +%d%m%Y`.log this has being sve to a file ./respaldo-archivos.sh, my question is how do i ron a crontab to do backups at 1am from monday to friday? [05:59] wow, so many people with problems. I guess I'll have to clean install windows again, which sucks. :( [05:59] Brixton: Hey. :) [05:59] Hey strange [05:59] fryguy, i did what you said i edited xorg manually ? [06:00] paaa: setting monitor name in xorg.conf has absolutely 0 effect (it's a name for reference purposes only) [06:00] paaa: try reading the manpage for xorg.conf [06:00] !printers | greato [06:00] greato: Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows [06:00] Rafael: run crontab -e and add the correct entry, see the manpage for formatting of the date in crontab format [06:01] So, nothing I've tried has worked, and I have no idea what to do now, other than clean install windows. [06:01] Hey, I'm using Ubuntu and I'm trying to get to dual boot to Windows 7, I've got Grub installed, but I don't know the entry for menu.lsd - anyone have a clue??? [06:01] fryguy, why does it go back to software rendering? [06:01] fryguy, wich packages do I install? don't exist a package "foomatic", but if some as "foomatic-*" [06:01] Bigshot_: i don't know, read virtualbox documentation [06:01] fryguy, too long manpage all what i want to choose my monitor and get rid of the sync out of range message! [06:01] keco: it's probably foomatic-gtk [06:01] Unless... Hey, can I uninstall grub and have windows boot up? [06:01] If I can do that, I'll be happy. [06:01] krepta_: boot from windows disc, get recovery console, type fixmbr [06:01] thanks!

How to access files of another system from Ubuntu? [06:03] greato: use samba to share files between windows and linux [06:03] ycmarvin: you will need to reformat the drive with the installer [06:03] fryguy: what format? i thought ubuntu is ntfs friendly [06:03] fryguy: where is samba in Ubuntu [06:03] ycmarvin: it is, for reading and writing, not for having the base system installed as [06:03] !samba | greato [06:03] greato: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

[06:06] hi i'm having problems with adobe flash plugin [06:06] in mozilla [06:06] it does seem to play any sound [06:06] Tyrath: change the gtk theme, i use .gtk-2.0.rc to set mine [06:06] fryguy: yes, I pretty much know that. What I'd like is the GSM (sorry for the latter spelling) connection to restart automatically after it falls [06:07] paulo: install alsa-oss and configure firefox to use that as it's DSP (see google for specific details) [06:07] fryguy: i'll look through the file, see what i can find. cheers [06:07] fryguy: specifically in ubuntu 9.04 [06:07] what is channel for fluxbox user? [06:08] Tyrath: my mistake it's .gtkrc-2.0 [06:08] whatvn: #fluxbox [06:08] fryguy: according to locate there's no file of that description on my comp [06:08] thank [06:08] Tyrath: there won't be, you need to make one [06:08] paulo: what version of ubuntu? [06:08] fryguy: ah k. [06:08] fryguy: then what do i do with it? [06:08] Tyrath: it's a configuration file, fill out what gtk-theme, font, icon theme etc you want to use [06:09] or just use the one built into ubuntu [06:09] on install gtk-chtheme or whatever [06:09] jaunty [06:09] Tyrath: you might also want to choose gnome-color-chooser or download a premade theme for gnome-look.org [06:09] fryguy my looking into your suggestion thanks [06:09] Tyrath: err use gnome-color-chooser sorry [06:09] hey, why does Mplayer give me an error when trying to watch a video file? [06:09] ziroday: I think that's more what i'm after. but the thing is I want it to be rendered etc. [06:10] jvainio: depends on what the error is [06:10] says the file isn't there [06:10] but it is. [06:10] ziroday: like i don't want to just change the colours, i want the colours to look good [06:10] jvainio: what is the path to the file [06:10] ziroday: for example, you know how emerald renders the top panel etc. [06:10] Tyrath: what makes them look bad [06:10] its /home/keko/Videot/PRIVATE/AVCHD/BDMV/STREAM/00000.mts [06:11] and yet it says file not found [06:11] fryguy: they just look bad with my emerald theme, desktop colours, gnome theme [06:11] jvainio: running "mplayer /home/keko/Videot/PRIVATE/AVCHD/BDMV/STREAM/00000.mts" from a terminal and mplayer complains about file not found? [06:11] fryguy: as in they look out of place. I have dark everything then light grey buttons, windows, etc. [06:11] yeah, fryguy [06:11] jvainio: what is the output of ls -l /home/keko/Videot/PRIVATE/AVCHD/BDMV/STREAM/00000.mts [06:12] jvainio: and what is the specific output you are getting from mplayer [06:12] fryguy: would gnome-colour-choose be really what I'm looking for? given I want it rendered [06:12] Tyrath: ? [06:12] fryguy: or is it impossible to get it rendered? [06:12] Tyrath: define "get it rendered" [06:12] Tyrath: it sounds like you want to make your own GTK theme :), anyway take a look at gnome-color-chooser it can do most of what you want (color wise) [06:13] fryguy, mind giving me that line for xorg ? i'm really stuck i tried generic, default monitor options and still getting unknown montiro [06:13] monitor** [06:13] paaa: i don't have your hardware, so I can't write your xorg.conf for you [06:13] ziroday: so if I switched from grey to black the 3d look and everything would still look fine? [06:13] * Tyrath thinks he should just try it and see what happens rather than ask a thousand questions :P [06:13] * fryguy wonders why people are so obsessed with 3d desktops and effects [06:14] jesus... [06:14] fryguy, okay at least point to me to a working solution ? as i said i've samsung syncmaster 551v with ATI radeon 1200 and i don't care about the acceleration thing or compiz just want to get rid of the sync. out of range message [06:14] fryguy: because if I don't want a GUI i'll just run everything out of a console :P [06:14] fryguy: when I have a GUI i like it to be a good one [06:15] Tyrath: you and I have different definitions of 'good' [06:15] paaa: are you using intrepid or higher? [06:15] fryguy: lol :P [06:15] fryguy: Got it working! It was the .MTS thing coz i typed .mts ... :D BUT NOW NO VIDEO SHOWING :((( it "plays it" but i am not seeing a thing! how do i get a picture? [06:15] jvainio: ask in #mplayer [06:15] fryguy, jaunty ididn't face it with 7.10 or 8.04 or 8.10 it was working smoothly [06:15] fryguy: it also depends on your CPU. If it can process the load, may as well right? [06:15] hi, guys. after the upgrade to jaunty my sound is muted every time i boot up. i can't figure out how to fix this. any ideas? [06:16] paaa: sooooo.. what version are you running [06:16] Tyrath: no [06:16] fryguy, jaunty [06:16] paaa: try deleting the xorg.conf file [06:16] (or move it to xorg.conf.BAK) [06:16] Howdy. Does anyone here have an Ubuntu One account? And, are you open to sending an invite? [06:16] fryguy, i did so and still getting unknown monitor [06:17] fryguy: you believe in greener usage? [06:17] When I do metacity --replace in the console, it works great, but then metacity takes over that terminal screen. If I close the terminal, then my desktop is ruined. [06:17] Tyrath: no [06:17] Tyrath: i believe in an efficient and usable desktop [06:17] buttons840: try 1. running metacity --replace & [06:17] buttons840: 2. running from outside of a terminal (alt-f2 for example) [06:17] buttons840; run that command via alt+F2 [06:18] i have to enter & to prevent it from taking over the termnial? [06:18] buttons840: right [06:18] fryguy: my desktop is very usable :) as for efficiency... I take your point [06:18] paaa: have you read this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver [06:18] buttons840: metacity should know how to detach from it's terminal [06:18] fryguy: at least as far as power consumption etc are concerned [06:19] Tyrath: the window manager I use resizes my windows for me automatically to make use of my entire screen using various algorithms, so I can focus on doing work and use my screen to the fullest, and not waste time resizing windows [06:19] fryguy, yes i removed fgrlx and installed that mesa thing [06:20] fryguy: of all the things I do that waste time, resizing windows is the least of my concerns... [06:20] What intends to symbolize the light blue icon (symbol) of Empathy? [06:20] Tyrath: i also don't waste screen real estate with multiple status bars, or title bars, or window borders [06:21] well, i did metacity --replace & in terminal, and i got my prompt back, but when i closed the terminal, it still didn't work [06:21] do i need to do &&? [06:21] buttons840: so then run it from outside of a terminal (alt-f2 for example) [06:21] i did that, and that worked [06:21] buttons840: do metacity --replace& exit [06:21] but can i run it from a regular terminal? [06:21] bullgard4: picture? [06:21] buttons840: i assumed metacity, in it's tons of source code, would know how to detach from a terminal, I was wrong [06:21] buttons840: no [06:21] buttons840: yes [06:21] YES [06:21] ;) [06:22] do exit instead of pressing x? [06:22] ziroday: I do not understand your answer. [06:22] hold restarting x hope that will cut it [06:22] buttons840: yeah this exact command minus the quotes "metacity --replace& exit" [06:22] who got problem with dial up settings ? [06:22] thanks Paddy_EIRE it worked [06:23] buttons840: sure [06:23] Hey guys, I'm running Ubuntu 9.04(or whatever the newest version is) and whenever I'm watching videos with the default video player, I will try to maximize it and the video will go blank, freeze, and then ultimately logging me out and it's really annoying. Any suggestions? [06:23] although, i prefer alt f2, ;) [06:23] ziroday: maybe I'm not using the program correctly but when I make changes nothing seems to be different. In user preferences I know that I can change controls and that alters the colours, however, there's no control currently installed on the interface that suits my other colour schemes and I can't find anywhere to download additional controls on the net [06:23] give me a terminal any day [06:23] SpenceKid: try terminal of 3d effects [06:23] as fryguy said, it's odd that it can't "detach itself from terminal" [06:23] ziroday: would installing some type of theme include a control by default? [06:24] buttons840: that is because you did not tell it to [06:24] terminal of 3d effects? I'm not following.. [06:24] SpenceKid: sorry, i meant to say turning off [06:24] SpenceKid: typing in too many channels at once === Tanner_linux is now known as TannerS [06:24] who knows here how to set dial up connection ?

Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto - Also try disabling/removing KNetworkManager if KDE applications cannot connect using dial-up [06:26] Tyrath: I think what you want to do is create an entirely new GTK theme, you can use a variety of different engines which offer "widgets" which are the shape of the buttons tabs etc. [06:26] What intends to symbolize the light blue icon (symbol) of Empathy? [06:26] paaa: change horizsync and vertrefresh to values that match the monitor [06:26] guys I want to download ubuntu [06:27] ExtremeDevilz: www.ubuntu.com [06:27] will it work on 256 ram computer [06:27] ExtremeDevilz: yes [06:27] how can disable Knetworkmanager ? === DaZ| is now known as DaZ [06:27] will it lag or anything ? [06:27] ExtremeDevilz: depends on what you install [06:27] ExtremeDevilz: it shouldn't [06:27] ExtremeDevilz: yes but you probably won't be able to use the live cd..You'll need the alternate cd [06:27] I have 256RAM 1133MHZ 32 GFX RAM [06:27] ExtremeDevilz, 256 bytes of ram is not nearly enough. It needs 192 meg or more. [06:27] ExtremeDevilz: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu#System_requirements [06:28] Severian: note that 192 < 256 [06:28] ExtremeDevilz: might wanna stick to release 8.04 though... [06:28] gnome-sound-recorder reports: "Your audio capture settings are invalid. Please correct them in the Multimedia settings." (I did use Teamspeak2.) Where are the 'Multimedia settings' to be found? [06:28] fryguy, note that he did not say meg. [06:28] Severian: 256 is required, not recommended. [06:28] Im using puppylinux [06:28] and I having alot of trouble [06:28] Severian: obviously an error in units [06:28] ExtremeDevilz: what kind of trouble? [06:28] firefox crash [06:29] and it is very troublesome [06:29] o.o [06:29] fryguy, okay hold a minute [06:29] ExtremeDevilz: might be better off with dsl (damn small linux) [06:29] o.o DSL o.o [06:29] is it good ? [06:30] ExtremeDevilz: try it and see [06:30] ExtremeDevilz, puppy does not usually setup a swap partition or file. When it runs out of ram, things happen like programs crashing. Ubuntu will not have that problem. [06:30] ExtremeDevilz: also, isn;'t crunchbang a pared down ubuntu for small systems? [06:30] ok I will download Ubuntu then [06:31] ExtremeDevilz: I booted it once on a laptop. Seemed ok. But then again, so did puppy... [06:31] meaning ? [06:31] crunchbang ? [06:31] Crunchbang is nice, I've used it for a while [06:31] ExtremeDevilz: http://crunchbanglinux.org/ [06:32] can anyone tell me the story of Linux [06:32] why is there so many Linux [06:32] Okay, Whenever I would try to install stuff via synaptic program manager, I will always get this error at the end of installation.. here's the link to the error.. http://imagebin.ca/view/IqCJDoy.html [06:32] ExtremeDevilz: You might want to stick with PuppyLinux. Just fix your Firefox issue. [06:32] ExtremeDevilz: it's well documented on google, etc. [06:32] ExtremeDevilz: there is one linux [06:32] fryguy, HorizSync 30.00 - 55.00 VertRefresh 43-60 seem to be the ideal values but i'm still getting sync out of range [06:32] ExtremeDevilz, crunchbang works very well on machines with 128 meg of ram. But, it has a very minimal interface which does not suit all users. [06:33] paaa: so then look at Xorg.log and find out more information [06:33] hi guys, got a prob [06:33] im on 256RAM [06:33] and 1133Mhz [06:33] ExtremeDevilz: Check this out if you're interested: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=7707585592627775409 [06:33] basically, it seems that there are problems with administrative rights [06:33] Whenever I would try to install stuff via synaptic program manager, I will always get this error at the end of installation.. here's the link to the error.. http://imagebin.ca/view/IqCJDoy.html [06:33] I think I will go for crunchbag [06:33] xubuntu runs well on 256MB of RAM.

Looks like windows 95, included in Damn Small Linux, which will run on a 486 with 16MB of RAM :D [06:35] Bob_Dole, the only real trick to jwm is that you need to remember not to double click. [06:35] well all I want is a linux works on a 256ram problem [06:36] or you can just change the desktop environment and/or window manager on whatever you are currently using. installing and configuring software isn't that hard [06:36] I am going try cruchbang [06:36] crunchbang is nice [06:36] ExtremeDevilz, xubuntu runs on 256MB RAM and 600mhz Pentium 3 Celeron(Coppermine core) [06:36] and it runs fine.

[06:39] Bob_Dole: paranoid much, your friend? [06:39] ExtremeDevilz, The one piee of advice I would make about crunchbang is to remove the mozilla plugin that auto installs flash. Otherwise, you machine may become infected with Adobe Flash. Ubuntu does not do that, That was a change crunchbang made. [06:40] Hi, can I update ubuntu from the LiveCd [06:40] losher, Not really, oddly enough. But he sells computers, custom setups, and I think he said he was experimenting, so I figure he may have been testing stuff out for selling to paranoid people,.

[06:42] Bob_Dole: flash plugin runs fine for me on various systems i've used it on. maybe you should fix that issue [06:42] how do i tell what recomendations a package has after iv'e installed it? [06:42] Can I pm you, fryguy ? [06:42] fryguy, tried to install the pastebinit app and got this error.. http://imagebin.ca/view/qOtVQt.html [06:42] -.- [06:42] gartral: apt-cache show will tell you i think [06:42] essential library and files a sound to work in ubuntu jaunty?

[06:43] fryguy: my usb based sound device not detected [06:44] what steve talking about [06:44] fryguy, a bug in Adobe Flash prevents a game I like from running anyways, everyone on linux has it from all I was reading, so right now running the windows version fixes both my problems. [06:44] SpenceKid, try pastebinit anyway. That bug probably did not stop the install. [06:44] Aryaan``: what version are you upgrading from/to ? [06:44] mohan_: so look up what the device is (lspci and/or lsusb), and see what steps you need to follow to make it work on google [06:44] mohan_: or just ask here and i'm sure somebody will google it for you [06:44] Bob_Dole: what game [06:45] fryguy, zOMG, it's part of GaiaOnline, and an MMORPG.

[06:46] how do i make directories writable in my lamp setup [06:46] so, from the beginning: I've installed kbunut desktop over ubuntu installation long long ago, but yesterday kdm login screen refused to work, it will just fade to black and return to login screen. So I've set gdm as a default manager. But the problem is that certain things don't work, like i don't have any rights. For example, desktop configuration is not saving, I got to run firefox with sudo for it to work fully, thunderbird tell [06:46] s me it don't have enough space to save mail, although I got 1 gb free space [06:47] fryguy: its not naming my device [06:47] Bob_Dole: when does it break? [06:47] SpenceKid, go to Applications/Accessories/Terminal. Run the program from there. [06:47] mohan_: is it plugged in? [06:47] fryguy: yes [06:47] is it in lspci [06:47] fryguy, Upon talking with one of the servers. it sends a bad packet, talks a bit more, then quits talking to it [06:47] ExtremeDevilz: re: download cap -- then I agree with whoever said you should fix your firefox crash problem instead.... [06:47] Severian, I'm a noob with Ubuntu yet, how do i run a program via Terminal [06:47] According to one person's post who inspected what it was doing [06:48] fryguy: no.. [06:48] But it stops at loading the server, and times out, for everyoner [06:48] does anyone got a clue about my problem? [06:48] Bob_Dole: seems to work fine here [06:48] SpenceKid, Did you go where I suggested? You have to do that first. Then, just type the name of the program. In this case, pastebinit [06:49] flash get updated recently..or did they make a work around I wonder... hmm *goes to try zOMG* [06:49] Bob_Dole: i'm using the same flash i've been using for a few months [06:50] What intends to symbolize the light blue icon (symbol) of Empathy? [06:50] fryguy: doing the command in verbose mode shows my device in Bus 002 Device 002: ID 194f:0301 [06:50] fryguy, the problem wasn't isolated, anything but... so I'm going to load it up from the native version and see if Gaia made a workaround [06:50] mohan_: and what is the name of the device [06:50] bullgard4, Your question does not make sense. That is probably why you don't have an answer to the question you keep asking.

[06:54] mudittuli, yes [06:54] i am going through my xorg logs, it says >> Using config file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf.failsafe", why failsafe ? [06:54] mudittuli: pastebin the whole log [06:55] which problems may i have using root all the time ? [06:55] spektrum: something obviously changed yesterday. Any idea what? It sounds like a permissions problem actually.... [06:55] are there any automated lamp setups for ubuntu? [06:55] what is the g for at the end of: sed -i 's/jaunty/karmic/g' [06:56] ye, I think so [06:56] but how to fix it [06:56] oDuda: you might accidentally do something and break your machine, and if you are connected to the internet as root (for example via irc), it's possible that a security vulnerability in the client you are using could get you hacked [06:56] duanedesign: do it for every occurrence on the line [06:56] oDuda, deleting something you really shouldn't, installing malicious software expecting people to run as root all the time, umm... [06:56] fryguy: http://pastebin.com/m6d010e7f [06:56] oh, and PC doesn't ask me about login details, it just loads [06:56] losher: I joined #telepathy in the past. It is more active on the subject than #gnome but populated by arrogant insiders only. -- Thank you for your help. [06:56] seem strange [06:57] oDuda, all sorts of things. You are vulnerable to bugs. You can accidentally delete things. [06:57] fryguy: ahhhhh thank you [06:57] bullgard4: sorry to hear that.... [06:57] Hi,who is familar with c program? [06:57] is there any advantage/disadvantage on debian vs ubuntu? [06:57] mudittuli: what happens if you move the file to like xorg.conf.failsafe.BAK [06:57] lbs_: ##c [06:57] fryguy:GNU C [06:58] sysadmin: different repositories, some mind find one more suitable for a purpose than another [06:58] lbs_: ##c [06:58] lbs_: (the channel, join it) [06:58] fryguy and Bob_Dole and Severian - thank you all ! would be like using windows ? hahahaha [06:58] how do I increase the size on my partition? I use live cd but i dont know how to increase the space for my main partition [06:58] fryguy, are most of apps available in ubuntu available for debian as well? [06:58] lbs_: /j #c [06:58] sysadmin: yes [06:58] so i guess ubuntu automatically mounts tmpfs automatically (things like varrun, varlock,udev, etc) but is there anyway to tell it how much space to allocate to these mounts? [06:59] oDuda, It would not be quite that bad, but close. Windows also leaves all sorts of services open and make a lot of apis executable. [06:59] oDuda, pretty much. Only even windows is starting to restrict things a little better than what running as root all the time would be like- just it still has more people out to attack it than linux... [06:59] fryguy: ? nothing it just moves ! === DebrisRat_away is now known as DebrisRat [07:00] mudittuli: and when you run X11 again? [07:00] fryguy, great. do you know if there are any aspects that I should be aware of before moving from ubuntu to debian? [07:00] losher: and atm some weird stuff appeared in my "root" folder. Video, music and stuff, just like in home folder. But I guess it's not supposed to be there [07:00] sysadmin: a lot less software is installed by default, and a lot less hardware is configred by default [07:00] fryguy sorry [07:00] how can i log the keyboard? [07:00] it says >> mv: cannot stat `/etc/X11/xorg.conf.failsafe': No such file or directory [07:00] sysadmin: a lot less stuff "magically works" [07:00] hi all [07:00] mudittuli: you need to run the command as root [07:01] spektrum: that's probably explained by your running things with sudo.... [07:01] sysadmin: dunno what you'd hope to gain by moving from Ubuntu to debian.... [07:01] fryguy, still :( [07:01] hi guys got my music on triple j australia have listen download if u like [07:01] fryguy, then I will stick to ubuntu :s. I wanna save myself some work. Now, I was thinking on moving to debian because there is a tutorial on encrypting a usb drive with debian. Is something similar for ubuntu? [07:01] http://www.triplejunearthed.com/Artists/View.aspx?artistid=8504 [07:02] http://www.triplejunearthed.com/Artists/View.aspx?artistid=8504 [07:02] ty for ur time [07:02] sysadmin: the procedure should be the same [07:02] Severian and Bob_Dole - but look... using a computer to my own use... only mine... not important data stored... only to please on running linux... whats the bad ? :-) [07:02] truecrypt is available for both systems, encfs is available for both systems, etc. [07:02] fryguy, ok [07:02] oh, and upon trying to launch some program it said something about dcop server [07:02] what is the best way to return string from function? [07:02] oDuda, having to reinstall if you goof. [07:02] * pleasure... [07:03] But once upon a time.. I reinstalled every other month, so that was nothing to me. [07:03] fryguy: i am running as root ! [07:03] oDuda: having somebody ELSE use your computer without your knowledge [07:03] mudittuli: you aren't [07:03] spektrum: sorry, sounds like you need more help than I can offer.... [07:03] the same >> mv: cannot stat `/etc/X11/xorg.conf.failsafe': No such file or directory [07:03] I pass one string to sub function and then return a new string from the sub function. [07:03] Bob_Dole ok ok... fryguy you are right... [07:03] fryguy: lmao [07:03] losher: where can i get some? :) [07:03] mudittuli: then the file isn't there anymore, what happens when you restart X11? [07:04] how can i log the keyboard? [07:04] oDuda, some distros run everything as root. Puppy does and one big distro that is gone now. It can be ok to start that way. But, nobody I know that stays with Linux runs that way. [07:04] fryguy: u mean restart xserver ? [07:04] spektrum: right here. Repeat your question about every 30 minutes until someone who knows responds.... [07:04] mudittuli: yes [07:04] hang on ! [07:04] When I started I ran Fedora 5 and 6 as root a lot. [07:04] gartral: http://sourceforge.net/projects/lkl/ [07:05] Bob_Dole, And would you do it now? [07:05] Severian, nope. [07:05] http://www.triplejunearthed.com/Artists/View.aspx?artistid=8504 [07:05] how do I increase the size on my partition? I use live cd but i dont know how to increase the space for my main partition === am4zin is now known as amazin [07:05] fryguy: lkl is way to buggy for reliable usage.. [07:06] anyone knows how to setup a live ubuntu encrypted flashdrive? === jack is now known as Guest60207 [07:06] coolkourt: gparted (the partitioner) is pretty straightforward, what is the actual problem [07:06] still having the same problem with alsa-oss and adobe plugin [07:06] gartral: so then try a hardware keylogger [07:06] Bob_Dole, That is my point. If he feels a need to do it while starting, I think it is fine. But, I'd recommend he plan on reinstalling from scratch when 9.10 comes out and run as a regular user. [07:06] fryguy: well i wanna increase my installations hard drive capacity [07:06] cant seem to find the file where to set it [07:06] this may not be the best place to ask, but is there software for linux that does something like http://www.kcsoftwares.com/index.php?ignition or http://bttb.sourceforge.net/ ? [07:06] gartral: or contribute some patches to the project to make it better [07:06] coolkourt: it pretty much gives you little bars to drag to size... [07:07] I've only had 1 problem with gparted.. I created an image of ubuntu on a 9.5gb drive, and dd'd it to a 9.3gb drive.. gparted said the whole drive was unallocated as a result, even though it booted fine. [07:07] http://www.triplejunearthed.com/Artists/View.aspx?artistid=8504 [07:07] Severian i understand you... today i.e.... i installed 3 times ubuntu 9.04 to get dialup connection to internet... using pppd at start and then installing gnome-ppp (that is not running properly) that needs root to call pppd (dependant?)... i thinked in use root all the time to solve the issue... [07:07] shamanix, Yes. But I can't tell you the name. I have seen such programs. [07:07] fryguy: i'de rather do it at kernel level, or possibly through grep or the like [07:07] gartral: so then do that [07:08] fryguy: it doesnt allow me to increase the partition [07:08] coolkourt: is there another partition in the way? [07:08] yea [07:08] make that one smaller first [07:08] how can I reset my theme to default? I cannot change theme to others :( [07:08] shamanix: I haven't seen anything which 'optimises' dvd space. Blank dvds are so cheap now I wouldn't worry about it... [07:08] fryguy: i dont knopw how... i tryed greping /lib/udev/devices/stdin to a file, but that didnt do anything.. [07:09] Yeah, i should get new pack of empty dvds at some point ... using to testing different distros and they should just add some universal network installation cd for every distro out there. -.- [07:10] does anyone know the name of the manager that automatically mounts all the tmpfs partitions onubuntu so i can google it [07:10] rue_more [07:10] pizzledizzle: it's called tmpfs [07:11] fryguy:it goes extended, ext3 and linux swap, the space i wanna use is 60gigs of unallocated [07:11] so delete the linux swap, make ext3 as big as you want, then recreate linux swap [07:12] or just leave it alone because there's probably no reason to resize the partition [07:12] can anyone tell me where gnome stores the samba config info when you use the gui to create a share? it doesn't seem to be in /etc/samba/smb.conf [07:12] Anyone has any problems with watching television on totem-gstreamer or totem-xine ? [07:12] mr_step: it's in ~/.gvfs [07:12] fryguy: thanksyou. [07:13] My biggest problem is Acronis likes to delete the UUID of the swap partition when it has to be resized...and 256MB of RAM isn't the best system to not be having swap working on. and having ~50 machines isn't fun manually fixing. [07:14] fryguy, i got a bunch of tmpfs partitions reveald by df that are not in fstab. im wondering how they're created and how i can configure them. i need to know what this process is called so i can research it [07:14] Severian Bob_Dole - thanks guys ! [07:14] Bob_Dole: if you resize a partition, I think the uuid is obliged to change. After all, it's a *unique* identifier, so if the size changes, so must the identifier... [07:14] pizzledizzle: you almost certainly don't have to configure them === spektrum is now known as QuadDamaged [07:14] losher, it doesn't replace it [07:15] fryguy, yeah but i want to know how it works in better detail [07:15] pizzledizzle: so then google it, like i told you it's called tmpfs [07:15] fryguy: still it loads the failsafe file ! [07:15] guys there was a program that i installed once that gave me extar visual effects in apperance setttings, what was it? and no its not compiz [07:15] if UUIDs are "Unique" then why do raids have so much trouble with all the partitions having the same UUID? [07:16] mudittuli: delete all Xorg.logs, delete the failsafe xorg.conf file, and then restart X and pastebin both Xorg.logs that appear [07:16] TannerS: ccsm [07:16] TannerS: which is compiz [07:16] gartral: dunno. There a spec on it somewhere that says what the rules are. I've never read it though.... [07:16] no it was not compiz.... [07:17] TannerS: it is [07:17] im sure it had a diff name [07:17] just cant rmemeber what it was' [07:17] TannerS: like i just said, it's ccsm [07:17] fryguy, i know what tmpfs is. i want to know for instance why ubuntu creates a tmpfs partition 249meg in size for varlock [07:17] TannerS: Are you just talking about the Visual Effects settings in "Appearance Preferences"? [07:17] TannerS: If that's what you're talking about, fryguy is semi-right, although it's not ccsm exactly [07:17] TannerS, compizconfig-settings-manager, which was just referred to as ccsm [07:17] ya it was a program that gave an extra setting int here with more options [07:17] TannerS: it's ccsm [07:17] red [07:18] TannerS: That's the friendly Ubuntu front end, more or less [07:18] TannerS: So it is compiz [07:18] !ccsm [07:18] 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 [07:18] There you go [07:18] simple-ccsm [07:19] The full-blown ccsm is different, but it's all compiz underneath [07:19] What does the light blue icon (symbol) of Empathy symbolize? [07:19] hmm let me try it out.. [07:19] gnome-sound-recorder reports: "Your audio capture settings are invalid. Please correct them in the Multimedia settings." (I did use Teamspeak2.) Where are the 'Multimedia settings' to be found? [07:21] how can I reset gnome config to default setting? [07:21] how would i use an unallocated space to increase the size on my primary partition? [07:21] coolkourt: you use gparted [07:21] coolkourt: keep in mind that the unallocated space needs to be contiguous with the partition you are trying to expand [07:23] so, i tried to install gfx card drivers, and now everyhting is garbled. i tried xfix, and it did nothign for me. anyhting else i can do, or should i reinstall? [07:23] Kiy: what exactly is wrong [07:23] bullgard4, OK, I see what you want to know now. How about including a pointer to a picture of the icon? [07:24] when i restarted, everything on the screen is carbled, like right not, its jsut some scattered black/white lines on the bottom of the screen [07:24] *garbled [07:24] *messed up [07:24] Kiy: what drivers did you install [07:24] fryguy: so how would i move the partition to the location where the others are. [07:24] fryguy, coolkourt , or you need to have setup your partitions with LVM. Then, you can add space from available disk space pools. [07:24] coolkourt: like i told you before, while installing, just delete swap and then recreate it after you sized the other partition how you want [07:24] i installed.....ati radeon express 200, from the ati website [07:25] k [07:25] i'm trying to see a shared directory on ubuntu from my xp machine [07:25] Kiy: why [07:25] guys I want to resize my windows partition, but gparted or w.e wont let me do anythign but delete [07:25] Kiy: ubuntu provides drivers for you, use those unless you have a reason not to [07:25] Severian: The word 'pointer' has many different meanings. Thus I do not understand what you are advising. Which one do you mean? [07:25] fryguy: here http://pastebin.com/m1cdfaeb8 [07:25] TannerS: try running ntfsfix first [07:26] i installed amarok on ubuntu Gnome, but its not playing,says audio output bad/not found, is there any different version for GNOME amarok?? [07:26] fryguy whats that? [07:26] um, it told me ther there was none of these proprietary drivers in use on my computer [07:26] TannerS: a program === Ranaka727 is now known as Ranakah [07:26] fryguy how can i run it? [07:26] mudittuli: that's only one, where is the other [07:26] also, 3d stuff was really slow -.- [07:27] bullgard4, I mean find a web page with a good picture of the icon. Then, post it here so people can look at it. Most people do not have that program installed. [07:27] TannerS: http://man.linux-ntfs.org/ntfsfix.8.html there's a link to it's manpage [07:27] Kiy: it probably told you it wasn't using the proprietary drivers because they don't work with your setup [07:27] and this wont mess up my windows partition [07:27] TannerS: it might [07:27] fryguy, you mean Xorg.0.log.old ? [07:27] can someone please tell me how can I reset gnome to default setting? [07:27] i installed amarok on ubuntu Gnome, but its not playing,says audio output bad/not found, is there any different version for GNOME amarok?? [07:27] TannerS: you should make a backup before doing anything with a partition [07:27] http://smithsonianchips.si.edu/ice/4004p3.htm [07:27] yikes [07:28] its not that it wouldent use any, its that there were none listed. [07:28] whatvn: delete ~/.gnome, ~/.gnome2 should get you most of the way there [07:28] what other partition program can i get for linux [07:28] fryguy: I did, but it doesn't take effect [07:28] Kiy: right, because none were available for your hardware configuration [07:28] whatvn: and .gconf and .gconfd [07:28] fryguy, do you mean Xorg.0.log.old ? [07:29] mudittuli: yes [07:29] mudittuli: i told you it was going to create 2 and to send both [07:29] fryguy: all of theme, but when I log out and login, I cannot chose my theme. it looks like I cannot access to /usr/share/themes directory [07:30] fryguy: here http://pastebin.com/m1cdfaeb8, and the old one here http://pastebin.com/m6cb611d5 [07:30] fryguy: I mean whatever theme I choose, gnome don't care [07:30] mudittuli: you need to mv xorg.conf.failsafe out of the way [07:30] how can i run an install program as root? or admin or w/e [07:30] TannerS: use sudo to run commands as root [07:31] fryguy how to ? [07:31] ziroday: thanks for all the help [07:31] mudittuli: use the mv command [07:31] but idk how to run this program [07:31] Severian: Your advise was very good. I found http://arstechnica.com/open-source/news/2007/08/empathy-toolkit-simplifies-instant-messaging-integration.ars and could answer myself the question put. -- Thank you for your advice. [07:31] ziroday: unfortunately i can't find a theme better than the one i have :/ [07:31] we neither :< [07:31] fryguy: can this be a problem with my graphics driver ? [07:31] ziroday: and if I change the control it stuffs up the good looking features of the theme I have [07:31] Hey, my youtube looks like this, same in other browsers on Jaunty... what is wrong? -> http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/2748/youtubeq.jpg [07:31] s/advise/advice/ [07:31] mudittuli: yes [07:31] hi I want to know how to get the mplayer codec for 3gp videos [07:32] because everytime vserver loads the failsafe conf ? [07:32] anyone knows? [07:32] ziroday: the only way I'd be able to get it the way I like it if I combined two different themes [07:32] Xserver* [07:32] I am installing archlinux in vmware. How do i switch to the virtual consoles inside VMware. When I press Ctrl + Alt + F1, the virtual console of the host gets changed. [07:32] fryguy im new to this so idk how to run a program in termnal as root, i know to put sudo bbut how do i put which program? [07:32] sudo [07:32] im guessing if a harddrive says cyclic redunacey check taht its not good [07:32] http://www.triplejunearthed.com/Artists/View.aspx?artistid=8504 === navetz__ is now known as navetz [07:32] jza, try to play one in Movie Player. I know you want mplayer, but this is a first step. I should try to find the codec and let you install it. [07:32] just install xubuntu 9.04 on ps3, was work good then i lose sound. can someone help me [07:33] anyhow I'll leave you kind people to help those more in need, unless there's someone that has determined a fix to the key stick problem [07:33] i type program name but is getting the frist half of the name KDE abd saying no file [07:33] fryguy: i moved the failsafe conf earlier also ! [07:33] still need help with adobe flash sound and mozilla firefox [07:33] but yeah, I'm sure if there was a fix someone would have posted it up somewhere... [07:33] эээээээээййййййййй [07:33] mudittuli: apparently not if it's still using it [07:33] fornix, That is a neat question. I was wondering how to do that in virtualbox, too. [07:33] TannerS: sudo ntfsfix [07:34] wat will that do [07:34] Severian, ok so I guess it comes out of gstreamer [07:34] fryguy I have KDE Partition Manager install on ubutu now how do i run that in terminal cuase its saying its not a file and stuff [07:34] TannerS: have you installed ntfsfix [07:34] * brb thinks that dinar should /join #ubuntu-ru [07:34] TannerS: what specifically are you trying to do [07:35] hmm [07:35] fryguy: thanks ! [07:35] KDE Partition Manager requires admin to be able to partition my drives ii need to run it wiht root in termninal [07:35] Movie Player can use gstreamer or xine. The gstreamer codecs will work, I think. [07:35] can u video chat on ps3 [07:35] TannerS: so then use sudo to run it as root [07:36] Severian: is virtualbox better than vmware? [07:36] fryguy tannersummers@tannersummers-linux:~$ sudo KDE Partition Manager [07:36] sudo: KDE: command not found [07:36] TannerS: that is not the name of the program [07:36] TannerS: you need to find the program that it's running [07:36] that wat it says in the menu..i told u im new =] [07:36] TannerS: run it again [07:37] fornix, They each have advantages. I like virtualbox-ose because it is open source and does what I need. [07:37] then open up a terminal [07:37] k [07:37] and type ps -ef and look for it there [07:37] fornix: better as in free [07:37] fornix, vmware is a more mature tool and does some things better. [07:37] TannerS: try sudo qtparted [07:37] nomad77 nope [07:38] okay, i think i know where i messed up with my display drivers..... i installed the wrong ones -.- if i follow instructions to install the right ones, will it overwrite the bad ones? [07:38] holy god ps -ef came with lot of test [07:38] text [07:38] Kiy: probably, the drivers you are installing aren't supported by ubuntu, so we have no idea [07:39] kiy what drivers [07:39] Hello, I unfortunately do not speak good English, so I have my question via google translated. can someone tell me what Wlan Driver Package: linux-backports-modules are available? Madwifi I know, but I believe other drivers are still available. Yours sincerely, Olivier [07:39] well, i installed the ati drivers for my motherboard, not for my ati card. [07:39] http://www.triplejunearthed.com/Artists/View.aspx?artistid=8504 [07:39] i got confused. [07:39] Kly: the latest install is then the active install so that would be likely [07:39] fornix, I do know one thing virtualbox does much better. It is easy to install guest additions. That is what lets the virtual machine have better video drivers and mouse integration. That is difficult to setup in vmware. At least, it was for me. [07:40] fryguy: but how to move it ? [07:40] mudittuli: using the mv command [07:40] mv [07:40] Kly: if unsure uninstall existing drivers and start fresh with the new driver install [07:40] mudittuli: you'll need to run it as root [07:41] TannerS: try sudo partitionmanager then [07:41] fryguy: yes yes, i have attempted that, but it still loads the failsafe conf file ! [07:41] mudittuli: then you didn't move it [07:41] fryguy: yes I did ! [07:41] nomad77 u nailed it thansk man [07:41] ls -l /etc/X11 [07:41] mudittuli: run that [07:41] sure,thank google [07:41] fryguy, I believe it will be recreated upon boot, if x.org needs it. [07:42] gnome-sound-recorder reports: "Your audio capture settings are invalid. Please correct them in the Multimedia settings." (I did use Teamspeak2.) Where are the 'Multimedia settings' to be found?

[07:42] fryguy, That part is mysterious to me, but I have seen it come back. [07:42] mudittuli: yes [07:42] Severian: it comes back, but he hasn't shown me a log saying this yet, so i'm forced to assume he's doing it wrong [07:42] now reboot my machine or the xserver ? [07:43] mudittuli: xserver [07:43] TannerS: i checked this,grabbed it looked at the files inside http://linux.softpedia.com/progDownload/KDE-Partition-Manager-Download-41402.html [07:43] fryguy, ok. That make sense. You are just being careful. [07:43] ty man [07:43] Oh, fryguy, if you can see this thread on gaia, it shows the bug in flash that keeps zOMG from working http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/games-bugs/zomg-104-connection-time-out-linux-flash-10-analyzed/t.46347053/ [07:44] If I knew how to copy the testing method to perhaps verify, I would :/ === dmb_ is now known as dmb [07:47] Hello, I unfortunately do not speak good English, so I have my question via google translated. can someone tell me what Wlan Driver Package: linux-backports-modules are available?

Yours sincerely, Olivier [07:47] where in ubuntu can i find out the current bit depth of the desktop [07:47] fw0rd: xrandr [07:47] fryguy: yes, it still oads the failsafe conf ! [07:48] mudittuli: so mv the file, delete all of the Xorg.logs, and then restart X and send all xorg.logs [07:48] fryguy: doesn't seem to list bit depth, just the frequencies [07:49] fw0rd: xdpyinfo [07:49] thx [07:50] hmmm... very verbose output on that one, which shows 'available stuff', how to disambiguate to just what is currently selected === bk is now known as bk|away [07:52] !ndiswrapper [07:52] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [07:53] fw0rd: try this cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf |grep -i depth [07:53] Thank you very much, will look this time. Olivier Gruss [07:54] nomad77: nuthin comes out of that [07:54] fw0rd, xdpyinfo | grep "depth of root window" [07:55] thx all. Severian that was it [07:55] > Hi! I mistakenly deleted some files in /usr/share, can I use dpkg to repair the packages? [07:55] how to print only date and name of files in a folder using find and printf ? [07:55] SimonXu: you can reinstall [07:56] i can see my ubuntu machine from xp but not the directory i am trying to share. any suggestions? [07:56] wgato: /etc/samba/smb.conf add the directory there [07:56] DaZ: I executed "sudo rm -rf /usr/share" for about 1 second, how do I reinstall all the packages affected? [07:57] guys whats the program name to cahnge around the defualt os boot and such? [07:57] SimonXu: if you didn't clean the cache you should have them somewhere [07:57] where in smb.conf should i add it?

[07:59] sure [07:59] fryguy: Xorg.0.log > http://pastebin.com/m5cba6c94 , Xorg.0.log.old > http://pastebin.com/m50af1dae [08:00] How can I share the internet with my laptop? [08:00] mudittuli: there's no other Xorg.log files? [08:00] testi: buy a router is the easiest way [08:00] testi get a switch [08:00] gnome-sound-recorder reports: "Your audio capture settings are invalid. Please correct them in the Multimedia settings." (I did use Teamspeak2.) Where are the 'Multimedia settings' to be found? [08:00] routers are cheap, and it's not worth the effort to do anything else [08:01] fryguy: nope ! [08:01] fryguy no i can't put my mobile phone into the router, therefor this idea is useless. [08:01] mudittuli: then i have no idea [08:01] can someone tell me.How to install a wired connection [08:01] fryguy: lol, thanks ! [08:01] testi: what does your mobile phone have to do with the initial question? [08:01] hi! How can i list all devices that i have? [08:01] gnr: lspci [08:02] thnaks [08:02] gnr: lshw might be better [08:02] hariom: Your question is too general. Nobody will give you a full lecture on networking. -- Normally NetworkManager will do that for you. [08:02] fryguy: the follow: a laptop is capable of more functions as a dedicated routing device. The initial question contains "laptop", because it is clear to anyone that it can deal with such stuff as mobile phones. [08:02] testi: bluetooth tether [08:03] yahnks [08:03] thnks [08:03] Hello all, I installed Xubuntu, i mounted my fat32 hd, but i cannot write on the drive [08:03] JackGray: Bluetooth tether? [08:03] testi: so then set up iptables, install natd, configure ip masquerading in the kernel, and you are good to go [08:04] cat /proc/mounts [08:04] fryguy: that sounds better. i required exactly that checklist :) Thanks [08:04] testi: there's other stuff too, i glossed over the details [08:05] fryguy: Oh.. yeah i think i require the details [08:05] testi: first google result here: http://www.stanford.edu/~fenn/linux/ [08:05] gnr, /dev/sda5 /mnt/fat32 vfat rw,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,codepage=cp437,iocharset=iso8859-1 0 0 [08:06] so i ahve ubuntu 9..04 and im hearing aobvut this KDE, whats the diff and how can i get it and if i do will my ubutu get jacked up? [08:06] testi: another useful link here (for different distro though so maybe not as helpful) http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/home-router-howto.xml [08:06] !installkde [08:06] jimmy it's rw [08:06] Sorry, I don't know anything about installkde [08:06] !kde | Tanner_Linux [08:06] Tanner_Linux: KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu. To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop », or see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE . See http://kubuntu.org for more information. For more information on KDE 4, see !kde4 [08:06] what are the main differences between 9/04 and 8,04? [08:06] gnr, but it still wont write :( [08:06] is it bad? [08:06] But I wonder if there is a tool that collects all this configuration into one tool. dhcpd, routing etc. [08:06] eternaljoy: kernel [08:07] gnr, reboot needed for changes to take effect? [08:07] eternaljoy: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes [08:07] i have an external hdd partitioned into two. im trying to get the second half to be a live usb install. followed instructions from here http://www.pendrivelinux.com/usb-ubuntu-904-persistent-install-windows/ but its still not bootable [08:07] jimmy: no need for reboot [08:07] how do you open a .deb file in xubuntu? [08:07] xxubuntu: use dpkg [08:07] fryguy, how do you do that? [08:07] gnr, didnt think so, but it acts read only [08:07] testi, take an old PC and set it up with IPCOP. That is a very good router/firewall. Buch better than any consumer grade router. [08:07] jimmy #touch /mnt/fat32/deleteme.txt ehat's error? [08:08] xxubuntu: dpkg is a command, read it's manpage, basically 'dpkg -i blah.deb' [08:08] gnr, lemme see [08:08] thanks fryguy + koshari1 [08:08] what does the -i stand for? [08:08] xxubuntu: install [08:08] jimmy: #mount -o remount,rw /mnt/fat32 [08:09] how can ia ccess sessions? [08:09] testi, IPCOP is easy to setup and does not need much of a machine. The machine does need at least to network interfaces. [08:09] how do you register a nick [08:09] Tanner_Linux: it's the dropdown in gdm when you first log in [08:09] xxubuntu: /msg nickserv help [08:09] =] [08:09] Severian: I have such a setting at home and it really consumed much of time to set it up and yes the quality of that router is much better than the average router provides, but now i just want to share my mobile phones internet to other computers that i can connect to the laptop (all mobile) [08:09] text file is empty [08:10] gnr, no error text file is empty [08:10] jimmy: means you can write to it [08:10] IPCop, okay [08:10] testi: so set up your mobile phone internet, and change that to be the default route, and nat will use that instead of your other connection [08:10] gnr, gonna try again :) thanks gnr [08:11] jimmy: touch is to change timestamp, but it will create empty file if didn't exists [08:11] testi, OK. It is possible in Linux to do that. The Mac does it easily. I'll see if I can find you something for Ubuntu. [08:11] ah yes. IPCop is a whole distribution :) [08:11] gnr, ah i see, i learn something new all the time [08:12] i installed kde desktop, now what? reboot? [08:12] Tanner_Linux: restart X [08:12] heya all ! [08:12] whats the command to repair broken programs and clean up ubuntu? [08:12] thanks [08:12] will Ubuntu recognise and mount hotswapped sATA HDD's? [08:12] gnr, still acting as if its read only... puzzled [08:12] coolkourt: what program is broken [08:12] wildc4rd: yes [08:12] testi, Yes, it is a small distro. It has just what you need and no more. There are a couple other similar router distos, but I like IPCOP the best so far. [08:12] jimmy: what makes you think like that? [08:13] fryguy: after i grew the partition firefox and prism apps dont work, luckily xchat did [08:13] freguy not doing anyhting [08:13] intel 865g video onboard and ubuntu 9.04 having bad performance [08:13] Tanner_Linux: when you restart X, there is a session dropdown, change that to KDE [08:13] gnr, this is how i mounted the drive .... "sudo mkdir /mnt/fat32 then sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/fat32 [08:13] does anybody heah know what driver i need to download to get my webcam working [08:14] gnr, because i cannot remove files nor add files to the fat32 [08:14] where can I get an 8.10 ISO? [08:14] jimmy: just now you did manage to create a file without error... [08:15] gnr, yes but for example... open the directory and try to add a file or remove one will not let me,,,, for example rightclicking a folder or file is shaded out [08:15] jimmy: the output of /proc/mounts shows it's RW [08:15] jimmy: you a running as a normal user [08:15] gnr, it did create the deleteme.txt into the drive though [08:15] * akia shimmies [08:16] Hi! I mistakenly removed many files in /usr/share, is there a way to recover? [08:16] hi nerdz [08:16] gnr, ah i would have to access drive as super user? [08:16] jimmyjh: or mount with a uid and/or gid parameter [08:16] jimmy: try #gksu nautilus [08:16] testi, Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing?action=show&redirect=InternetConnectionSharing [08:16] gnr, i guess i could chmod it [08:16] gnr, i have xfce :P [08:16] jimmyjh: np [08:17] gnr, thunar? [08:17] wth. i clicked "open containing folder" in xubuntu and it's saying "This link needs to be opened with an application. Send to:" what do i choose? [08:17] jimmy: what fryguy says is correct or try $gksu nautilus [08:17] 1334 nerdz yay! [08:17] jimmy: oo yes whatever the file manager is [08:18] fryguy, thanks ,, but i never done that before lol [08:18] how do I suspend my laptop remotely from a ssh session? [08:18] any links to webcam drivers [08:18] testi, or even easier might be http://www.ubuntugeek.com/creating-an-adhoc-host-with-ubuntu.html [08:18] gnr, worked thanks i guess i am not use to xubuntu, only use ubuntu 99% of the time [08:19] What's the command to transfer files via the terminal (via ssh)? [08:19] xxubuntu, look for thunar. I think that is what xubuntu includes for a file browser. [08:19] mobi-sheep, scp [08:20] gnr, fryguy, thanks very much [08:20] mobi-sheep: scp, or sftp, curl and wget have sftp bindings, sshfs is used for mounting a fuse filesystem via sftp, there's also rsync and related utilities [08:21] fryguy: In your opinion, which command is easier to work with when transferring files using terminal alone? [08:21] depends on what i'm transferring [08:23] My mouse is REALLY slow on my MacBook, even though the sensitivity settings are all the way up. How do I fix this? [08:24] gnome-sound-recorder reports: "Your audio capture settings are invalid. Please correct them in the Multimedia settings." (I did use Teamspeak2.) Where are the 'Multimedia settings' to be found? [08:24] dstaley, Swap the Macbook for a Thinkpad [08:24] how do i get my multimedia buttons to work in xubuntu? [08:24] guys i added the wrong thing, my ubuntu now says edubuntu when booting up [08:24] hoiw can i remove it [08:24] xxubuntu, try them. They often work out of the box. [08:24] tannersummers_: use usplash [08:25] explain? [08:25] !usplash [08:25] 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 [08:25] Severian, they are not working [08:25] Severian: Unfortunately, my Thinkpad doesn't run OS X. If it did, I'd swap the MacBook for it in a heartbeat. [08:26] fryguy: I install this program called edubuntu i thought will help me learn but instead even after i removed the program it shwos edubuntu as the background when i log in with my username and passord [08:26] 0o [08:26] tannersummers_: while you are logging in, or after you log in [08:26] tannersummers_: try reinstalling ubuntu-desktop [08:27] the screen that ask u to type in username and pass [08:27] i dotn wanna jack u all the work i did into setting up my unbutu === DodgerDog^Out is now known as DodgerDog [08:27] tannersummers_: running gdmsetup as root [08:27] and change it [08:27] xxubuntu, have you tried the hotkeys package? [08:27] where can i get that Severian ? [08:27] xubuntu rocks! [08:27] Synaptic [08:28] xxubuntu, Synaptic. Just like most packages on xubuntu. [08:28] thansk fryguy while im talking to u, anyway to make my account an admin/root? [08:29] tannersummers_: if you can sudo, then it is [08:29] tannersummers_: you don't need to be root. sudo usually works well enough [08:29] hello, i have a problem with my webcaam, the picture is always black and white [08:29] fryguy i mean everything as root so i dont have this problem of guessing a programs name to sudo it agian [08:29] tannersummers_: no [08:30] tannersummers_, Ubuntu does not use root, typically. Any user can normally doe root type things, but you have to do it through sudo. [08:30] o [08:30] tyy [08:30] tannersummers_: often you can look in the menu editor to see which executable name a program uses [08:30] tannersummers: #sudo vipw [08:30] gnr: don't recommend that [08:30] there's a big chance doing that could screw things up badly [08:30] ? [08:30] yikes [08:30] lstarnes: lol, no [08:30] lstarners:giving the man what he wants [08:31] brb guys [08:31] tannersummers: try $sudo -s [08:31] gnr: sudo -i tends to handle the environment better than -s [08:31] lol [08:31] any can help set up sound of adobe flash player in ubuntu [08:32] fryguy: Is there something where I can send/receive files without using @ because when I logged in using ssh, I'd have to log out to use scp to transfer files, then log in to use ssh? [08:32] by the way i have 2 sound card 1 got busted so i used a pci lan card [08:32] mobi-sheep: just set up publickey authenticatin [08:32] mobi-sheep: then you don't have to type your password [08:33] Hello [08:33] lstarnes: sudo -i writes the bash history as root [08:33] gnr: but it uses root's environment, not the user's environment [08:33] hello, i have a problem with my webcaam, the picture is always black and white [08:33] lstarnes: which is almost certainly what you want [08:33] mobi-sheep, Open a second terminal prompt and do the scp there. [08:33] hello all dose anyone know a good program to use to convert an ISO to a IMG? [08:34] I know this might sound stupid [08:34] lstarners: echo $PATH is the same.. it appends the same path.. and appends the same history with your user.. it's easy to track back a common history [08:34] Severian, i tried hotkeys. didnt work [08:34] but I have problems dowloading AIM and Skype... [08:34] Broken_: j/c, why [08:34] Broken_, acetoneiso2 [08:35] lstarnes: anyways. that's the beauty of choices ain't it? [08:35] back [08:35] fryguy, Severian: Lol. Nice. I like the passwordless ssh. :> [08:35] xxubuntu, The only other thing I have seen is to do it through lirc setup. I don't know an easy setup guide for that, but it should work, [08:35] is there a program to chance options of the grub bootloader? i had one before, a program for that that is [08:35] gnome-sound-recorder reports: "Your audio capture settings are invalid. Please correct them in the Multimedia settings." (I did use Teamspeak2.) Where are the 'Multimedia settings' to be found? [08:36] Severian, what's that? [08:36] Pooky, for aim i recommend using Pidgin, for Skype goto the home page [08:36] hello, i have a problem with my webcaam, the picture is always black and white [08:37] I've made an iso of my backup windows and need to put it on a flash drive for my netbook....they give a cd when there's no cdrom...I was going to use imagewriter to put it on usb drive [08:37] xxubuntu, lirc is the linux infrared control program. People use it to let a remote control drive various feature. It can also be set to accept keyboard commands from special keys. [08:38] whats this beryl? [08:38] jimmyjh, then where's the setting for a webcam call??? [08:38] is it a synaptic package, Severian ? [08:38] tannersummers, beryl is now known as Compiz [08:38] ah [08:38] nvm then [08:38] tannersummers, beryl is no more. It was incorporated into compiz. [08:38] agh...this place sucks [08:38] how do i cahnge the cursor [08:38] on acidtone it looks like it only goes from img to iso.....unless I'm missing something [08:38] Pooky, in skype? it has options for voice and cam [08:39] devius:attitude man... [08:39] Jimmyjh I meant Pidgin. [08:39] xxubuntu, it is a package in synaptic, but that is only the first part of the setup. It is not easy and you'll have to google for the info. [08:39] gnr: check your quit notices. he left the channel [08:39] Pooky, as for aim on pidgin, there is no cam for it yet, but they are working on it [08:40] lstarnes: :) it's for others [08:40] sorry acetone [08:40] Pooky, ekiga supports video calls. [08:40] Jimmyjh, thanks I'll watch out for the updates then. [08:40] Pooky, yes ekiga is also good [08:40] Pooky, its more like skype [08:40] how can i get my desktop to have a floating dock like as in a mac [08:40] Ekiga,...I had that on my old laptop..I find it hard to use surprisingly [08:41] Is there a way to play wmap sound in linux? [08:41] Pooky, its not so hard once you get the hang of it,,, [08:41] lstarnes:it's been almost 5 years since my last irc chat.. [08:42] pooky_ ekiga has much improved in the last year or two. Two yaers ago, I could barely make it work. It does a pretty good job now. [08:42] skype > ekiga [08:42] Severian: that's what us developers do, we make things better [08:42] Trentor, I hope not. [08:42] well its true [08:42] imo [08:42] ofc [08:43] Jimmyjh, Well,...I'll try it out then...and see what happens this time ;P [08:43] * fryguy starts recompiling code for system update [08:43] fryguy, are you an ekiga developer, or was that a general developer comment? [08:43] Severian: general dev comment [08:43] Pooky, ok good luck, if your using ubuntu should be already on [08:43] Severian, Hmmm I updated my Ekiga 6 months ago...and I still thought of it badly. [08:43] Trentor, I meant I hope protected wma files would not play in Linux. [08:44] Jimmyjh, I'm using xubuntu and it's not on so i guess I'm at the old downloading question... [08:44] Eh, well I wish they did, even if they are protected [08:44] Pooky, "sudo apt-get ekiga" easy as that [08:45] ooops [08:45] Severian, can i have ur email addy? [08:45] Pooky, sudo apt-get install ekiga" :P [08:45] Butt don't you need to get the packages? [08:45] But* [08:45] thats what apt-get does [08:45] xxubuntu, lets go to a PM, first. [08:45] Pooky, pakage manager takes care of that [08:45] hi everyone, how do I activate S-video in 9.04 ? In 8.10 and earlier versions it worked without problems, but in 9.04 not anymore === Tanner_Linux is now known as Tannersummers [08:46] Well,..I didn't know migrating from MAC to Linux was that hard... [08:46] guys how can i have a floating dock just like a mac does? [08:46] Tannersummers: try awndock [08:46] Well ill go download it now..I'l be be right back [08:47] where do i get it [08:47] Pooky, ok good luck [08:47] to log in root it's "sudo -s"? [08:47] Tannersummers, there are a few Avant and Cario to name a few [08:47] Tannersummers: apt-get install avant-window-navigator [08:47] pooky_: sudo -i, and you usually do not need to log in as root [08:47] how do I get gstreamer to use /dev/audio1 not /dev/audio0 [08:47] Pooky, na,, just goto terminal type this in "sudo apt-get install ekiga" [08:48] hi [08:49] ty all who helped me [08:49] Jimmyjh, it's says this "E: Couldn't find package Ekiga" [08:49] insmod: gnome-sound-properties [08:49] Pooky, lower case e [08:49] pooky_: don't capitalise ekiga in that command [08:49] how do I get gstreamer to use /dev/audio1 not /dev/audio0 [08:49] Pooky, its case sensative [08:49] thanks [08:50] Jimmyjh, Ok thanks,...like i said it's going to be hard to migrate from mac to linux... [08:50] I have a problem with xubuntu 9.04. The mouse is invisible! I can move it, click, open applications with it, but I don't accually see mouse pointer, so I don't know where it is. [08:50] fryguy now that i installed it now waht? [08:50] Tannersummers: run it [08:50] Pooky, its worth the move if you ask me,,, it always gets better [08:50] well i eman what does it go under as in the prefecrence? [08:50] Tannersummers: none [08:50] Tannersummers: it's an application, run it [08:51] i mena how where do i find it to run it lol [08:51] ah nvm [08:51] alt-f2, avant-window-navigator [08:51] Jimmyjh, Well learning with commands and , things like that make it easier...but it's hard at first to rmeeber everything... [08:51] is there anyone that could me? :) [08:51] Tannersummers: might be worthwhile to take some time to actually try things yourself instead of just asking to have your hand held through every little step [08:52] iv been trying i just so lost at this OS sometimes u know [08:52] Tannersummers: no, i don't know [08:52] :S [08:52] thank u for all ur help fryguy [08:53] Pooky, its not so hard basic commands you need to learn to install and remove programs are "sudo apt-get install "program" and sudo apt-get remove "program" [08:54] Jimmyjh, I was talking to a friend that works GNU but he talked about "apt-get cache |grep" [08:54] pooky_: what about it [08:55] pooky_: he was probably talking about apt-cache, not apt-get cache, since that doesn't exist [08:55] fryguy: Stupid question , what do i use that command for? [08:55] pooky_: apt-cache lets you query your available packages, the 2 most common commands are search and show [08:55] piping through grep will only show lines of output that match a given regex [08:56] rather than the entire output [08:56] Pooky, that is useful when searching [08:57] woah.. 1337 users? thats pretty cool.. [08:57] so for example...if I wanted to search for java sun i would put [08:57] pooky_: apt-cache search java [08:57] Oh... [08:57] Hmmm Thanks ^^ [08:57] chanserv..come posso fare per settare o andare nel canale italiano? grazie [08:57] anyone pretty good with ubuntu server? [08:58] anyone knows how to connect to a wireless network from command prompt? [08:58] !ask | sup3rs3nior [08:58] sup3rs3nior: 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. :-) [08:58] sysadmin: iwconfig [08:58] fryguy, yes, but how do I specify the network name? [08:58] sysadmin: the ssid? [08:59] sup3rss3nior: not an expert but what you need? [08:59] I just installed Ubuntu Server. I can access it (apache) on my local network, but not from the outside internet. [08:59] sysadmin: it's essid (unless you are referring to the hardware bssid) [08:59] JImmyjh I've just downloaded ekiga , how do i open it? [08:59] sup3rs3nior: are you behind a router? [08:59] Already fwd port 80 [08:59] fryguy, ok, got it, and the password in hex? [08:59] Pooky, you installed it yes? [08:59] sup3rs3nior: are you sure port 80 isn't blocked by your isp? [08:59] sysadmin: i think so, read the manpage [08:59] JImmyjh, Yes I have. [08:59] Yeah because ive been using it before i switched to linux.. [08:59] sysadmin: if you are using wpa you'll need wpa-supplicant [09:00] sup3rs3nior: what IPs is apache bound to? [09:00] Pooky, well many ways in terminal type ekiga [09:00] should be 80 right? [09:00] Pooky, or in applicationsre in internet apps it should be in the [09:00] sup3rs3nior: IPs, not port === nicolas_ is now known as Guest59804 [09:00] Im not folowing.. [09:01] miki : che client stai usando ? [09:01] sup3rs3nior: is apache listening on 0.0.0.0, or is it listening on a specific IP? or is it listening on a specific set of IPs? [09:01] Thanks Jimmyjh,...Now it says I have to configure my network settings...I think i can do that [09:01] Pooky, also neat way to open applications quickly is to "ALT+F2" and type the program in [09:01] alt+fé I'll keep that in mind [09:01] Is that listed in a config file of some sort? [09:01] sup3rs3nior: yep [09:01] in /etc/apache2 i think [09:02] apache2.conf? [09:02] sup3rs3nior: either that or ports.conf [09:02] help.. I need to upgrade my bios.. on my MSI mobo.. K9VGM-V.. anyone know how to do this? [09:02] ive been looking through apache2.conf, I just dont know what im looking for.. [09:02] sup3rs3nior: "Listen" [09:03] sup3rs3nior: the Listen directive [09:03] bonez46: probably the people as MSI.. that's where I would start looking [09:03] does nano have a search function? [09:03] bonez: you can try coreboot linux bois [09:03] #flashrom [09:03] <^Cub> yup ahh [09:03] can someone suggest me a good and cheap SIP phone brandt ? [09:03] <^Cub> i need help [09:03] sup3rs3nior: grep -ri Listen /etc/apache2 [09:04] !ask | ^Cub [09:04] ^Cub: 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. :-) [09:04] !ot | maxagaz [09:04] maxagaz: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [09:04] bonez: #flashrom will check you current bios chip. You can even save the current bios and flash a new one [09:04] people at MSI ? they are in Korea.. or Japan.. [09:04] hey all , I am using ubuntu 8.04.2 , i have 2 problems 1. When i updates my kernel to 2.6.24-24 from 2.6.24-23 .but in 24-24 there is a resolution problem, display is of maximum 800*600 resolution. but in 24-23 it wokrs fine. what could be the problem [09:05] Ok! Ekiga is running..now to use it... [09:05] bonez46: well.. I'm in sweden.. where are you? [09:05] sup3rs3nior: or in nano use ctrl+W [09:05] ports.conf.. one line says "listen 80" which makes sense.. [09:05] Slart: I am in utah, in USA [09:05] flyankur: sudo apt-get update && upgrade, and make sure there are no packages being left back [09:05] another line says listen 443 [09:05] gnr: WHAT IS #flashrom.. not a channel here on IRC.. right/ [09:05] <^Cub> im trying to install ubuntu on my eeepc. i have extracted eveything on to a portable hdd but when i reboot it comes up with some busybox v1.2 console. this is my 1st time even using linux. i dont know what to do from here [09:05] fryguy: Thanks !! ill do this [09:06] bonez: read my next msg... it's a command [09:06] Is there a default setting on ubuntu server that blocks "out of network" http requests? [09:06] sup3rs3nior: no [09:06] fryguy: Second problem, When ubuntu starts, startup sounds comes properly, skyope works properly, but when i run any video or any audio file, sound doesnt come, i have installed all codecs, but this problem aslo has the same solution ? [09:06] sup3rs3nior: are you sure the port is forwarded correctly? to the right ip etc? [09:06] Jimmyjh, another question...okay, I love music so I'm on this website called playlist.com, you can create your own playlist bla blabla and now that I'm linux why can't I play the music? [09:07] Because [09:07] bonez46: if only there was a way of communicating with people from around the world.. it would be great.. we could create a mesh of connections.. perhaps use some kind of electronic signals.. we could call it.. the intermesh.. wait.. no that doesn't sound right.. [09:07] flyankur: no [09:07] I have Flash I have java I have...what i need [09:07] bonez: is a flashing bios tool for linux... any type of bios actually (with support) and as well as coreboot bios (linux OSS bios) [09:07] fryguy, when i set the essid, how can I set the password? [09:07] sysadmin: no idea [09:07] ^Cub : what is it that you have extracted to the portable hdd ? [09:07] yeah, 192.168.1.100, just as though i were accessing it locally. [09:07] fryguy: what could be theproblem [09:07] flyankur: misconfigured sound card driver [09:08] flyankur: try going to gnome-sound-properties and setting things not autodetect [09:08] hi [09:08] gnome-sound-recorder reports: "Your audio capture settings are invalid. Please correct them in the Multimedia settings." (I did use Teamspeak2.) Where are the 'Multimedia settings' to be found? [09:08] fryguy: but i used Add/remove facilty for installing.. how should i correct it [09:08] are there still regular classes on #ubuntu-classes or somewhere? [09:08] when i forward it to my windows server on port 80 (to xampp) it works fine. [09:08] bullgard4: gnome-sound-properties [09:08] <^Cub> Rigongia: easy-peasy-1.1.iso [09:09] bonez46: /away [09:09] sorry [09:09] fryguy: Ok ! thanks :) [09:09] Pooky, good way to get all the codecs you may need sudo apt-get install xubuntu-restricted-extras" [09:09] ^Cub : so ... what do you mean by "extracted" ? [09:10] gnr: ok, found and installed flashrom. when I run it, it can't find a chipset [09:10] JImmyjh, but...I only need Flash to use my playlist... I'll still give it a try though [09:10] <^Cub> Rigongia: i was told to use UNetbootin-Ubuntu Eee to put the .iso onto the portable HDD so it can boot from it [09:10] <^Cub> can i post links in here? [09:10] sure [09:11] <^Cub> http://www.simplehelp.net/2008/07/28/a-step-by-step-guide-to-installing-ubuntu-804-hardy-heron-on-your-eee-pc/ === hn is now known as hnc === root is now known as Guest10419 [09:11] sup3rs3nior: what is the output of ifconfig -a [09:11] hola, puede dirme si tienes classes de Ubuntu en el canal #ubuntu-classes [09:11] for eth0? [09:11] sup3rs3nior: the entire output [09:12] fryguy: Calling gnome-sound-properties I cannot detect an item 'Multimedia settings'. Can you? [09:12] bullgard4: i don't have gnome-sound-properties so i wouldn't know [09:12] very long....... [09:12] bonez46: you have to check on http://www.coreboot.org/Flashrom#Supported_chips for specific chips [09:12] hello! I want to make a ddos program [09:12] sup3rs3nior: that is what pastebins are for [09:12] how to do that [09:12] fryguy: I see. [09:12] oh right! [09:12] greato: it's called ping [09:12] greato: go have a bunch of machines do it at once [09:13] fryguy: I have 6 machines [09:13] greato: anything more detailed is outside of the scope of this channel [09:13] fryguy: I have 6 machines with 3 internet connection [09:13] so, where are these paste bins? [09:13] sup3rs3nior: pastebin.com [09:13] sup3rs3nior: paste.ubuntu.com [09:13] can i ask a question? [09:13] !ask | livingdaylight [09:13] livingdaylight: 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. :-) [09:13] fryguy: lol, you're fast [09:13] livingdaylight : we are here for that reason !:) [09:14] are there still regular classes on #ubuntu-classes or somewhere? [09:14] fryguy: They are set to auto detect, i should change it to ... conexent digital , conexent analog, AlSA, OSS , Pulse Audio Driver ( lspci | grep audio showed "Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP51 High Definition Audio (rev a2)" ) [09:14] Rigongia: you are de bestest [09:14] flyankur: there's a test button next to it for a reason [09:14] where do i find out about these? [09:14] bonez46: #flashrom --list-supported [09:14] is there a way i can rout the output of ipconfig to a file? [09:14] sup3rs3nior: ifconfig > file [09:15] ^Cub : at what step of the guide are you stuck ? [09:15] fryguy: oops :D [09:15] sup3rs3nior: or ipconfig >> file if you don't want to completely overwrite [09:15] sup3rs3nior, just like most commands at the terminal prompt. Remember that meme and use it often. [09:15] lstarnes: depending on the shell you are using (while we are being pedantic) [09:15] <^Cub> Rigongia: after i rebooted to install Ubuntu, it comes up with BusyBox, how do i get past that? [09:16] hey can anyone tell me whether there is a task manage equivilent for ubuntu [09:16] gnr: I checked the listing and my board is not yet supported.. [09:16] unhackmee: ps, top, htop should give you everything you need [09:16] ^Cub : does it give any error message before going to busybox ? [09:16] unhackmee: system > administration > system monitor [09:16] thanks fryguy [09:16] unhackmee, type at the terminal prompt ps aux [09:16] <^Cub> Rigongia: No [09:16] Severian: you should recomend ef as paraemeters instead of aux [09:17] bonez46: that's the only native bios utility in linux... else you have to use freedos/windows utility [09:17] fryguy, I am not argueing against your suggestion. I just want to know why. Does aux pose some threat? [09:18] ^Cub : just to make sure ... you hit esc to ensure that the eee-pc booted off the usb portable hdd, right ? [09:18] <^Cub> yes [09:18] <^Cub> @ Rigongia [09:18] Severian: ef is POSIX compliant, aux is not. knowing ef becomes handy if you ever decide to use other *nix systems [09:18] http://pastebin.com/m57b8976e [09:18] gnr: that's the thing.. I think I found the specific windows bios files.. for my mobo.. but I run ubuntu and thus.. can't run . I guess I need to boot up win xp somehow and then run it? [09:18] Did i do that right? [09:18] Severian: actually used it to catch a hacker once at a previous company i worked at [09:18] fryguy, OK. That is a good reason. Thanks. [09:19] I have a problem with xubuntu 9.04. The mouse is invisible! I can move it, click, open applications with it, but I don't accually see mouse pointer, so I don't know where it is. [09:19] I hope, that someone can help. [09:19] sup3rs3nior: and netstat -l? [09:19] ^Cub : i'm sorry but at the moment i can't think of anything that could cause your problem. If anything comes into my mind i'm gonna let you know [09:19] themad: try switching your pointer graphics [09:19] bonez46: you can try windows bart pe live cd or any freedos utility from ubcd [09:19] hello im trying to install ubuntu now, on the partition part, how many should i allocate for the EFI boot [09:19] gartral: i tried to, but there is no change. [09:20] ycmarvin: is there a default [09:20] gnr. thanks.. [09:20] themad: on all desktop managers? [09:20] http://pastebin.com/d520b7fbe [09:20] <^Cub> Rigongia: thanks, i'll keep trying at it. If you think of something either highlight me with the message or send me a memo [09:20] oops [09:21] sorry for quit/rejoin [09:21] gartral: on gnome it works fine, but on gnome i have resolution problem ;) beside xfce is better for my celeron 1.6M ;) [09:21] ^Cub : i see that the guide says it's for eeepc-900 ... do you have another eeepc ? or maybe (just guessing) you downloaded the wrong iso file ? [09:21] fryguy: no, did not see one. I'm doing this dual boot, my hd is 80GB half for XP, 250MB on swap [09:21] anyone here can help me getting gforce mx420 working? === bgupta is now known as bgupta|away [09:21] hi [09:21] q0_op : please explain better what your problem is [09:22] hi cryingtux :) [09:22] i installed drivers from nvidia site and it only lets me run in low graphics mode [09:22] how do i cancel pending jobs in an hp printer? [09:22] i cant locate them [09:22] <^Cub> Rigongia: i have the eeepc 900A [09:22] themad: i ve a 1.7 celeron, and i run nome+compiz with ALL the bells and whisles, and see at most 20% proc usage [09:22] sup3rs3nior: what is the IP of the windows machine? [09:22] ^Cub : and the exact name of the iso file you downloaded is ... ? [09:23] on top of that my mouse seems to lag [09:23] on my local network i set it to be 192.168.1.100 but perhaps the router disagrees? [09:23] <^Cub> EasyPeasy-1.1.iso @ Rigongia [09:23] sup3rs3nior: ... you have 2 machines with the same IP at the same time? [09:23] gartral: but i prefer XFCE. do you know how can i make it work? [09:23] set as in when i configured the server.. [09:23] themad: anyway, it sounds like xfce is missing some packages [09:23] im looking for the web interface to cancel those jobs [09:23] im downloading envyng; just hoping it works [09:23] cryingtux : you have at least two choices ... easiest (in my opinion) is to open your browser at the address http://localhost:631 and cancel them from there [09:24] i shouldnt, that was the ip of the box before i installed linux but none of my linux boxes show up in the routers list.. [09:24] gartral: on #xfce channel i was told that its xorg fault [09:24] themad: not entirly sure, i dont use XFCE, it takes too much ram [09:24] Ok! it works! [09:24] themad: try E16 :) [09:24] Thank you to, Jimmyjh! Fryguy, and Servian! [09:24] Rigongia: thanks, i was looking for that [09:24] sup3rs3nior: can the linux machine reach the internet? [09:25] ^Cub : have you got a cd-rw at hand, so you can try to burn the cd and boot from there instead of the portable hdd ? [09:25] what is a good way of checking if it can reach the internet? [09:25] right. [09:25] wget maybe? [09:25] sup3rs3nior: ping google.com [09:25] no problem Pooky [09:25] oh [09:25] Pooky, you got ekiga? [09:25] UNKNOWN wow i see now.. [09:25] you can add me ifyou like "jimmyjh" [09:26] sup3rs3nior: did you define a gateway? [09:26] <^Cub> Rigongia: i would.. but EeePc's don't have a CD Drive :/ [09:26] i attempted to.. but i think i did it wrong.. [09:26] sup3rs3nior: /etc/network/interfaces === Harry is now known as Guest36445 [09:26] ^Cub: boot from a usb [09:26] sup3rs3nior: it should be set to 192.168.1.1 unless you have a strange network topology [09:27] <^Cub> Rigongia: I'll see what I can find. brb [09:27] whatvn : cub's trying to boot from a usb hdd, but ubuntu goes into busybox [09:27] Any idea how to see which apache modules are loaded for Ubuntu apache server? No php installed [09:27] accidentally had it as 192.168.0.1 - do i need to restart it now? [09:27] Rigongia: do we have kde 4.2.3 now in repos? [09:28] cryingtux : let me check [09:28] elfgoh: apachectl -t -D DUMP_MODULES [09:29] should i restart the whole system or can i just restart the network services? [09:29] i have fully updated system and i still see kde 4.2.2 [09:29] fryguy: bash: apachectl: command not found [09:29] fryguy: apache2ctl [09:29] sup3rs3nior: you can just restart networking [09:29] sup3rs3nior: you almost never have to restart the machine [09:29] with ifconfig? [09:29] sup3rs3nior: or /etc/init.d/networking [09:29] elfgoh: fryguy means .... #apache2ctl -t -D DUMP_MODULES [09:30] gnr: cool thanks. [09:30] * fryguy wonders why ubuntu renamed the command [09:30] fryguy: lol === MiND is now known as Guest56365 [09:30] the tab button is the best command [09:31] spamming the tab button yes [09:31] WE HAVE PACKETS! fryguy I have a newfound respect for you. [09:31] fryguy: they'll say .. ask the freaking guy at apache group [09:31] sup3rs3nior: lol [09:31] anybody here from India, using bsnl / evdo wireless device for their internet connection ? [09:31] Hey, what would be good program to watch satellite, if totem-xine segfaults, myth not too shabby to configure and kaffeine needs kde libs i don't want to install ... what good programs left ? [09:31] cryingtux : on http://packages.ubuntu.com i still see kde 4.2.2 [09:32] Jasa: vlc and mplayer should work [09:32] Jasa: mplayer, xine. vlc [09:32] mplayer you need to zap channels ... vlc or xine have good channel list on side ? [09:32] fryguy : an offtopic question ... how can you write "actions" like "fryguy wonders why ubuntu renamed the command" ? [09:32] Rigongia: /me [09:32] Rigongia: use /me [09:33] thanks [09:33] what is the command to edit the gnome menus? [09:33] alacarte [09:33] * ghindo suggests that Rigongia uses "/me" [09:34] weird ... if i use the "/me" command i can't see my own messages [09:34] * sup3rs3nior thinks pastebin is the coolest thing since sliced bread.. [09:34] WIGGMPk, ALT+F2, gconf-editor [09:34] thanks Jasa [09:34] sup3rs3nior: you are pretty easy to please [09:34] I installed some new fonts and now all the ubuntu jaunty fonts (which I liked) seem to have disappeared/been disabled. Is there anyway I can reenable them or get them back? [09:34] Rigongia: i found this :::http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.2.3 [09:35] jimmyjh: no, thats the configuration editor not the gnome main menu editor, plus I have no gnome-panels so RUN dialog is disabled Jasa got it though [09:35] I can tell you exactly what I did if you need me to explain [09:35] I try to be.. That's one way to be happy.. Lives not about the cards you get but how you play them.. [09:35] *lifes [09:35] Tyrath: yes [09:35] so Kubuntu (which is a fork of "regular" ubuntu) indeed has kde 4.2.3 [09:35] but apparently standard Ubuntu has not [09:36] WIGGMPk, oh good good i thought you asked for the editor :) [09:36] i wanna setup a file sharing server ... an ungeeky so something better than ftp/samba should do ... is there any "getdropbox.com" like servcie which i may install on my ubuntu machine? [09:36] Rigongia: regular ubuntu uses the same packages as kubuntu [09:36] Rigongia: im using kubuntu so i guess i will get these packages [09:36] WIGGMPk, i hate when the panels disappear [09:36] lol [09:36] Do both kubuntu and ubuntu have gnome? [09:36] sup3rs3nior: yes [09:36] fryguy: sudo unzip -d /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ ~/OSX/Fonts.zip && sudo fc-cache -f -v [09:37] sup3rs3nior, you can get either [09:37] jimmyjh: i disabled it purposely.. I prefer just avant-window-navi [09:37] Tyrath: #fc-cache -rv [09:37] sup3rs3nior: the difference is that is installed by default [09:37] What is Xubuntu? [09:37] cryingtux : if you added the repo in the link you just send me, otherwise not :D [09:37] sup3rs3nior: it's ubuntu with XFCE instead of gnome [09:37] WIGGMPk, ah nice , some people like keeping only the dock on,, i just keep the panels lol [09:38] gnr: I just tried that but it didn't seem to do anything. should I take away the # ? [09:38] sup3rs3nior: uses xfce as the default desktop environment [09:38] XFCE is used with Solaris, correct? [09:38] sup3rs3nior: no [09:38] sup3rs3nior, its xubuntu uses xfce. as kubuntu uses kde and ubuntu uses gnome [09:38] sup3rs3nior: solaris switched to gnome a while ago [09:38] sup3rs3nior, you must me thinking CDE [09:38] sup3rs3nior: somewhat in sync with opensolaris [09:39] gnc? [09:39] Oh, yeah i saw some screen shots of opensolaris and what looked like xfce [09:39] sup3rs3nior: it was gmp,e [09:39] gnome [09:39] "looked like" [09:39] right haha [09:39] ok, I did it anyway. I'll logout and log back into ubuntu desktop and see what happens [09:40] opensolaris has gnome.... solalris has some jacked up java+gnome crap [09:40] is opensolaris worth checking out? [09:40] sup3rs3nior: no [09:40] fryguy, what makes you say no? have you tried it? [09:40] Hey, so how does the vlc channel surfing work ? -.- [09:40] skillet: yes [09:41] if you have a SPARC it might be ... [09:41] sup3rs3nior, there is a new version coming out next month [09:41] Rigongia: recent benchmarks show amd64 outperforming sparc with recent recompiles [09:41] i tried to run it in a virtual machine but it didn't work, so i was thinking about installing it.. [09:41] for kicks.. [09:42] and opensolaris doesnt run on sparc [09:42] fryguy : really ? Thanks for telling me :) [09:42] thats prob why he was 'joking' [09:42] that would explain it.. [09:42] hi, if i build something from source, will i have to build it from source forever (to upgrade it)? Or when the new version comes out in the repositories.... will it automatically update to that binary? [09:42] skillet: the only things it has to offer featurewise are dtrace and zfs. As a desktop operating system it's very poor. As a server OS it's quite good, but speed is very slow compared to other common unices. It's quite good for running on HEAVY hardware though. [09:42] skillet: not public releases [09:42] mbent: build from source forever [09:43] humm guys [09:43] fryguy, zfs is prob one of the greatest things ever [09:43] back when i was in linux class, all our lab computers were "dumb terminals" on a server. i think the server made an "instance" for each computer.. any ideas what that was? [09:43] in svn ,how to commit branch to trunk?/ [09:43] skillet: yes [09:43] in svn ,how to commit branch to trunk?/ [09:43] ok, nothing seems to have changed :/ [09:43] RunSky: svn merge [09:43] fryguy, great, i have 2. One says it will automagically upgrade, and the other says build from source forever, and you say build from source forever [09:44] Hi, how do I get a microphone on my laptop to work? [09:44] 2 friends ** [09:44] thank you [09:44] internal one, under keyboard, and I`m on dell 1525 [09:44] unless... can anyone do me a favor. visit facebook and tell me if the fonts have changed to some weird format? [09:44] hello if my harddrive has 'cyclic reduncney test' im guessing that this is not good [09:44] mbent: if you install from source, you won't put anything in any of the places that debian will know about, you won't register the package as being installed or anything, so apt won't even know it exists [09:44] Tyrath, they are still the same... haha [09:44] Tyrath: tget look normal [09:45] mbent: what MIGHT happen is apt will just install over your thing later on, depending on how you install it [09:45] alex123 : can you post the output of "lspci -v | grep -i audio" ? [09:45] skillet lstarnes : thats annoying because it means I've lost the jaunty fonts :( === Mud|brb is now known as Mud [09:45] skillet lstarnes : but thanks anyhow [09:45] 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02) [09:46] skillet: have you actually used zfs? [09:46] fryguy, yes [09:47] i'm running it on 1 of my machines now (other is hardware raid) [09:47] alex123 : how do you know the mic is not working ? [09:47] i actually maintain solaris 10 servers.... [09:47] does anyone know where there's an image online of some jaunty text and how it should look? i don't know if I'm imagining it different or what :/ [09:48] sound recorder doesnt record anything and in skype it doesnt work [09:48] alex123: it could be a problem with your microphone [09:48] alex123: Look in volume control, preferences for alsa mixer, fiddle about with enabling everything that has to do with recording and change settings back and forth. [09:48] alex123 : have you checked your mixer settings ? [09:48] yeah I did with mixer [09:49] didnt with alsa, not sure about settings and I think its not even alsa in jaunty, no? [09:49] alex123: it is [09:49] Rigongia: there is an issue with the GPG key of that link [09:49] ok which settings then and how to call them? [09:49] alex123: alsamixer [09:50] hi [09:50] im using warty :D [09:50] i found old releases at ubuntu site and wanted to see warty at virtualbox [09:50] it rox at speed [09:50] i dont know [09:50] i think i will use it [09:50] jimmy_birer, warty ? someone needs to upgrade :P [09:50] hehehehehe [09:50] no dude [09:50] just fot testing and playing [09:51] jimmy_birer, ohh lol [09:51] aaround [09:51] it doesn`t really ugly [09:51] doesnt help :( [09:51] now i will upgrade to a new kernel [09:51] or i will screw system [09:51] lol [09:51] cryingtux : what kind of issue ? [09:51] GTK 0.8 [09:52] jimmy_birer, gtk 0.8 wow that is old [09:52] how to use patch? [09:52] patch has a great manpage [09:52] i try adding the key and it says no valid key found [09:52] fryguy: that command I gave you before, would that have deleted the jaunty fonts? [09:52] im using another method now to add it as BLOCK key [09:52] Tyrath: no [09:53] fryguy: would it explain why I no longer see the fonts? [09:53] probably [09:53] Tyrath: i install my fonts a different way so I dunno [09:53] is not really old-warty [09:53] just from 2004 :) [09:53] jimmy_birer, getting new kernel will make it go as quick as it does now , might as well use jaunty :P [09:53] cryingtux : i'll try myself just to double check [09:53] jaunty sucks [09:54] hardy is stabler [09:54] Rigongia:yes please do it [09:54] fryguy: I don't normally install fonts, I just use the ones on the system. The only reason I used that command was cause it was on a site and I didn't know how to install fonts [09:54] jimmy_birer, why you say that? well jaunty has new features like the new xorg for example [09:54] alex123: for me I have it working through [Under HDA Intel] first "capture" all the way up under "recording", "digital mic 1" for digital input source under options, [Under OSS] In-gain cranked all the way up. [09:54] jimmy_birer, that takes time for it to work just right with all video drivers though especially ati's [09:54] fryguy: but if the fonts are still on my system, I should be able to switch back to them [09:55] Tyrath: look in the directory and see if they are there [09:55] make is too old to compile linux kernel [09:55] hahahahaha [09:56] GNUstep maybe :D [09:56] haha [09:56] hi, anyone familiar with NetworkManager's Mobile Broadband configuration? [09:56] fryguy: this is apparently my current set up. Application font: Sans 10; Document font: Sans 10; Desktop font: Sans 10; Window title font: Sans Bold 10; Fixed width font: Monospace 10 [09:56] fryguy: is that the same as you? [09:56] np [09:56] no [09:56] Tyrath: no, i have all of the fonts changed on my system, but those are the correct defaults [09:57] fryguy: that's bizarre then that I'm not seeing the defaults :/ [09:57] Tyrath: everywhere? or just certain applications? [09:57] fryguy: I would look to see if they're still there but I don't know what I'm looking for. Also if these say Sans and they're the default the replacements probably just took the names of the old fonts, no? [09:57] Tyrath: no [09:58] jimmy_birer, i might try out the new fedora 11 when its finally released [09:58] Rigongia; see this error http://pastebin.com/m41ea1c0a [09:58] even this method fails [09:58] fryguy: facebook for example. and it looks different in xterm [09:58] do you have xtern configured to use XFT fonts? [09:58] (hint: by default it's not) [09:58] fryguy: I'm not sure. whatever the default setting for jaunty was [09:59] i have sound problem on flash application on jaunty 64b, i have tryed http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130384, so when i use pulse, i don't have sound for flash apps, and other sound are bad quality and often cutting [09:59] http://pastebin.com/m802d532 this one too [09:59] Tyrath: and are you sure you are referring to xterm and not gnome-terminal? [09:59] anyone have other idea for sound in flash without pulse? [09:59] fryguy: I thought xterm was gnome-terminal [09:59] (i'm using optical out) [09:59] ikevin: alsa-oss [09:59] Tyrath: no [09:59] fryguy, don't work too [09:59] ikevin: did yo uset firefox DSP in /etc? [10:00] Tyrath: when you unzipped, did it prompt you to overwrite stuff [10:00] i don't have any firefoxrc in /etc/firefox-3.0 [10:00] ikevin: so make one [10:00] ok [10:00] Tyrath: gnome-terminal emulates xterm .. xterm is part of xorg .. gnome-terminal isn't [10:00] what should i put on? [10:00] fryguy: ok, i just opened xterm and gnome-terminal to see what the differences were, and I'm actually referring to gnome-terminal [10:01] ozzmosis: actually gnome-terminal emulates a vt100 with several extensions, just like xterm does, gnome-terminal's functional spec is based on vt100, not xterm [10:01] cryingtux : save the page pointed by the link into a file (say, "test.asc") then run apt-key add $filename and off you go [10:01] i will compile freebsd kernel on linux :D [10:01] fryguy: well ok, I just meant from a UI perspective [10:01] jimmy_birer: why? [10:01] i will try to make a combination of linux and freebsd [10:02] Rigongia: now im doing that [10:02] anybody here from India, using bsnl / evdo wireless device for their internet connection ? [10:02] hi, I'm trying to add an item on the menu of gnome, but I cannot find a way to change the working directory before the execution of the command, how can I do that? cd path ; command doesn't work neither in application nor terminal application mode. thanks [10:02] jimmy_birer: been done [10:02] ozzmosis: from a ui-perspective the only thing they share in common is the window that displays the running command. the entire menu structure and keybindings are different.. [10:02] i use toaster for internet connection [10:02] :D [10:02] jimmy_birer, that will just make it bsd kernel is the heart of the os lol [10:03] jimmyjh, i see that you noob. [10:03] sharkk: what is the command you are trying to run? [10:03] wine something [10:03] fryguy: if I give you a screenshot would you be able to tell what the font i'm using is? [10:03] sharkk: also for the launcher there is a 'working directory' option, just set that [10:03] Tyrath: no [10:03] lol [10:03] where? [10:03] sharkk: no idea [10:03] :) [10:04] Tyrath: when you unzipped, did it prompt you to overwrite things? [10:04] fryguy: actually what's the default rendering - monochrome or best shapes? [10:04] After a system crash I have problems using gconftool with a given dbus session. I hope you can help me! http://attachr.com/12289 [10:04] Tyrath: i have no idea [10:04] in the editor there is no trace of a similar thing... [10:04] sharkk: you could write a short shell script and tell the launcher to run that instead [10:04] fryguy: I used sudo, and it didn't ask me [10:04] noo it's not the solution [10:05] fryguy, i've added it, and trying FIREFOX-DSP="oss", FIREFOX-DSP="alsa" and FIREFOX-DSP="aoss", i don't work too [10:05] where the items of menu are saved? [10:05] Tyrath: /usr/share/fonts? [10:05] fryguy: System -> Preferences -> Appearence -> Fonts - what does that say? [10:05] Tyrath: i don't use gnome [10:05] ah [10:05] after an aptitude search, there are lots of options, is there a recommended Java package, so I can use an SHH applet to connect to a PC remotely? [10:05] fryguy, do you know how can i check if the firefoxrc is loadded? [10:05] ikevin: no [10:05] ikevin: no quotes btw [10:06] fryguy: in /usr/share/fonts/ there's three folders: truetype type1 X11 [10:06] fryguy: do you want their names? [10:06] !info jta > wildc4rd [10:06] in truetype for example? [10:06] fryguy, no change :x [10:07] Tyrath: http://rattlesnake.ath.cx:81/fonts.tar.bz2 [10:07] fryguy: actually could you tell me what the default font naes are? [10:07] cryingtux : any luck ? [10:07] wildc4rd: apt-cache show jta [10:07] wildc4rd: I think that's what you're after [10:07] fryguy: and then I just unzip and put them in /usr/share/fonts/? [10:08] yes [10:08] Tyrath: you'll probably run into some minor issues [10:08] because i probably have some other font packages installed that you don't [10:08] shouldn't be a big deal though [10:09] Hail all [10:10] anybody here installed Ubuntu 9.04 server? how much disk space does it need? I installed 7.04 server recently and it needed about 350 MB, then I upgraded to 8.04 LTS and it shot up to 700 MB, and that was after I did "apt-get clean" [10:10] I need help with something .. please do not be mad ...???!!!! [10:10] !ask | sydneyguy [10:10] fryguy: what kind of issues? [10:10] sydneyguy: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [10:10] ozzmosis: I think close to 1GB [10:10] Tyrath: installing font packages in the future might give harmless errors/warnings about overwriting stuff [10:10] hi, ran apt-get update on ubuntu 8.04.2 and i got the following errors: http://paste.ubuntu.com/184858/ [10:10] hello [10:10] hi [10:10] how can you convert subtitle files? [10:10] I am using macport to install kde .. and it seems i have to install libacl and libattr .. i could not compile them .. any help .. or u can direct me please [10:11] I need to convert the encoding to utf-8 [10:11] I am using macport to install kde .. and it seems i have to install libacl and libattr .. i could not compile them .. any help .. or u can direct me please [10:11] elfgoh: hmm, seems a bit excessive, but thanks :) [10:11] I tried gnome-subtitles but it doesn't have anything to change encoding [10:11] sydneyguy: is that a Ubuntu question? [10:11] fryguy: because the fonts I might be installing in the future might already be in this font pack? - is that it? [10:11] sydneyguy: wrong channel [10:11] ozatomic: i was thinking that an install from mini.iso might be leaner [10:11] Tyrath: yes [10:11] I know .. please direct me to the channel [10:11] is there any girl here? [10:11] :) [10:11] ozz_: no. [10:12] there are no girls on the Internet. [10:12] ozz_, highly doubtful lol [10:12] sydneyguy: #osx. #macports, #kde [10:12] fryguy: that's no issue lol, but thanks for the heads up ;) [10:12] Thanx alot [10:12] ozz_: Try #girls [10:12] hehe [10:12] BoltClock: Tried a different mirror ? [10:12] !women > ozz_ [10:12] ozz_, please see my private message [10:12] !hardy [10:12] Ubuntu 8.04-LTS (Hardy Heron) was the eighth release of Ubuntu. Downloading: http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04 - See !lts for more details. [10:13] Myrtti: hey! where are my women! ubottu didn't send me a private message when you did that :-) [10:13] ozzmosis: they're running away from you, fast [10:13] oh, you sent it to ozz_ [10:13] I have "ozz" on highlight :/ [10:13] my mistake [10:14] !women > ozzmosis [10:14] ozzmosis, please see my private message [10:14] * Myrtti doesn't like trolls [10:14] ozzmosis, installed jta, do I need to 'start' it?

[10:14] Myrtti: nor do women I'd bet... hmm, unless maybe female trolls... :D [10:14] wildc4rd: I've never used it [10:15] wildc4rd: What are you trying to? [10:15] sharkk: probably somewhere in that gconf thingy [10:15] sharkk: run gconf-editor in a terminal === canton_ is now known as canton [10:16] mobi-sheep, would like to access a terminal remotely using a java SSH applet, got as far as installing jta, but the applet still informs me I need java [10:17] #altered-warez [10:17] TiTi: no spamming [10:17] Myrtti: yah, that'll stop him! [10:17] * kmdm grins [10:17] sharkk: after googling a bit it seems the menu stuff are stored in ~/.config/menus/ [10:17] Slart: don't think they're in gconf actually [10:17] wildc4rd: You can access a remote computer by opening a terminal and "ssh wild@192.168.1.3" --> You don't need Java SSH applet. Just a thought. [10:17] fryguy: fair warning first... [10:18] Slart: cos I don't think they're meant to be gnome-specific [10:18] plop [10:18] ozzmosis: nope.. it seems they are in ~/.config/menus [10:18] kmdm: ok, works now, lol [10:18] BoltClock: Cool - good to hear :) [10:19] Slart: so I see :) [10:19] fglrx 8.612 works sweet with 38XX-48XX ati cards [10:19] mobi-sheep, the applet is embedded in an admin web interface, be useful if it worked [10:19] Hello! I have installed Xubuntu 9.04 and managed to automount my second partition to /media/sda5 with the help of pysdm. But it's "read only"... :-/ How to fix that? [10:19] Slart: it doesn't seems to contains my entry that I have added to the menu neither gconf [10:20] mobi-sheep, but yes, ssh from a terminal works [10:22] fryguy, i have sound working now, it's a right problem [10:22] sharkk: my shortcut ended up in /home/markus/.local/share/applications when I created a new menu entry [10:23] while i run firefox as root, it work with alsa, i've updated my launcher to run it as root, my problem is solved now [10:23] thx for your help [10:23] sharkk: I guess it might differ depending on where you create your menu items.. === Nicke_ is now known as Nicke [10:24] when i leave my ubuntu desktop on for extended periods of time, it will lock the screen properly and go to "screensaver" but it won't ever put my monitor in power suspend mode, is there a way to correct this? [10:24] m0u5e: There are a "Power Options" button in Screensaver Dialog? [10:25] mobi-sheep: yes but it doesn't work [10:25] How do I change my login password for startup? [10:25] mobi-sheep: my screen will go blank, but my monitor is not in "suspend" or power saving mode [10:26] Garbu: isn't there an option in system, preferences, About me [10:26] fryguy: i'm trying this sudo mv -f * /usr/share/fonts/ from inside the fonts directory you gave me and it's not letting me [10:26] <|demontager|> how to add script in autoload in Ubuntu? [10:26] fryguy: it gives me messages like mv: cannot move `X11' to `/usr/share/fonts/X11': Directory not empty [10:27] m0u5e: I don't know. Hardwares work different all times. [10:27] Slart: thank you :) [10:27] mobi-sheep: this is true... but it works in windows, without any drivers installed :( [10:27] <|demontager|> where is autoload folder in Ubuntu? [10:28] mobi-sheep: it would just be nice for my monitor to be able to go into power saving mode [10:28] that way i can sleep without it lighting up my entire room [10:28] m0u5e: correction.. it works in windows with the drivers that are included in the default install of windows [10:28] What are some good RSS readers for an Ubuntu system? [10:29] Slart: okay, sure but there is no reason for it not to work in linux by default as well, i'm not here to criticize ubuntu, i'm just wondering if there is a solution to my problem [10:29] :) [10:29] mobi-sheep: have you checked in /var/log/Xorg.0.log to see if there is something about powersaving not being supported? [10:29] m0u5e : i found the power management options in System -> Preferences -> Screensaver [10:29] Rigongia: yes thanks, it doesn't actually do what i need it to do though :( [10:29] m0u5e: I don't know.. but very few things work without drivers of some kind.. that was the only think I wanted to highlight [10:30] m0u5e: See what Slart say about Xorg.0.log [10:30] wait ... there's a "Power Management" button which lets you set the time of inactivity before your display is put in sleep mode [10:31] Slart: is there anything in specific I should be looking for in xorg.0.log? [10:31] m0u5e: errors or warnings about the monitor.. usually starts the line with (EE) or (WW) [10:33] Slart: only fglrx and AIGLX stuff [10:33] Slart: nothign really about my display device that doesn't mention fglrx or video drivers [10:33] m0u5e : just to check ... what time of inactivity did you set before the display can go in sleep mode ? [10:33] m0u5e: you could also check the syslog or kern.log.. set the power management to sleep after 1 minute or so.. leave the computer for two minutes.. then check the logs... see if you find something [10:33] Rigongia: 15 minutes why? [10:34] Slart: okay i will try that [10:34] Slart: by default gnome's minimum for sleep is 11 minutes :/ [10:34] Slart: darnit lol [10:34] m0u5e: Just like what you said (kinda). Well, I'm not here to criticize people's bad habits... but turning off the monitor when you're done would truly converse more power than leaving it on and idling for next 10min...20min. :) [10:35] cze [10:35] m0u5e: You can try "cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep EE" [10:35] finally I found it :) there exists an element of the item that is named Path but there is no way to change it from the menu editor of gnome so I modify it by terminal... and yes the item were in ~/.local/share/applications/ thanks very much [10:35] m0u5e: Since there are lot of things to be read. You're bound to miss it. [10:36] m0u5e : only to make sure you and i understood each other correctly :) [10:36] mobi-sheep: i'm using the ubuntu log viewer, and already searched both WW and EE [10:36] m0u5e: bah.. isn't there a command to make it go to sleep? I haven't really played around with it that much [10:36] Hey =) [10:36] mobi-sheep: i usually do, but in the cases of which i do forget, it would be nice if my computer could pick up some slack for me [10:36] czesc, mozna z kims po polsku???

So I checked everything and everything seemed ok in Ardour and hardware wise, so I checked the options in Jack Control, and for some reason it isn't seeing my USB microphone under "Input Device" anymore. I tried moving the microphone to different ports and everything else, but It just [10:41] wont see it. Does anyone know why Jack would stop recoginizing this device it's previouslyt had no problems with, and how I could fix this? [10:41] how to disable display turn off?? Ive set the setting in PowerManagement to never.. but it still turns off by itself [10:41] Slart: it turns my screen blank (its the "blank screensaver"), but it does not put my monitor into power saving mode [10:42] m0u5e: well.. I said it was a start.. there are lots of scripts in /etc/acpi/ [10:42] powersaving mode makes my monitor's power button slowly flash, and the sceren is completely powered off [10:42] arp1t : what do you mean with "remote keys" ? [10:42] but if i press a button / move my mouse, or press any settings buttons on my monitor, it immediately comes back [10:43] versus, if i turned my monitor completely off, it takes like 5 seconds (including logo, and stuff) to power on [10:43] which is why power save is convenient [10:43] remote supplied with laptops... i cant get it to work on ubuntu [10:43] i mean some keys work but play pause stop etc dont wrk w/ vlc. i'm sure d remote is fine thou [10:44] vlc has quite BS remote support [10:45] goodeye : what does BS stand for ? [10:45] i know... bt it is one of the players that i like more in ubuntu. i use kmplayer in vista [10:45] i even use VLC in win7 [10:46] how do I disable the sleep button? [10:46] Rigongia cant tell, cencore :D [10:46] i ws thinking of using the mplayer in ubuntu (on which kmplayer is based). bt of all the built in video/audio players in ubuntu, what do u suggest i should use? [10:46] I tried editing /etc/acpi/events/sleepbtn no go [10:47] same with /etc/default/acpi-support [10:47] goodeye: i don't really like VLC ... i used it a few years back, and i noticed a definite loss in quality with it's post processing ... dunno if they ever fixed it [10:47] arp1t: i definitely recommend mplayer, its probably one of the most versatile and powerful players across all platforms [10:48] problem is, i use VLC so widely that i don't want to adopt it [10:48] can u use other players to stream DVB? [10:48] m0u5e: Maybe you should give VLC a whirl. I have been using it since and haven't noticed anything wrong with it. I'm using VLC 1.0 RC2 now though. [10:48] What would be the reason that my Monitor remains blank (doesn't show image) after I come out of Suspend regime? [10:48] how to disable display turn off?? Ive set the setting in PowerManagement to never.. but it still turns off by itself [10:48] m0u5e: And lot of people here often suggest VLC as a media player.

[10:55] arp1t: what about mplaye ? [10:55] arp1t: Look at Mplayer. See what you can work with. [10:55] wiehan: drop the exclamation marks and someone just might [10:55] arp1t: maybe you mean mencoder [10:55] wiehan: Ask ##windows [10:55] wiehan: dd ? [10:56] Howdy, will someone invite me to participate in Ubuntu One? [10:56] What is Ubuntu One? [10:56] kmdm: ok, dd, but how? [10:56] wiehan: sudo dd if=/dev/sdX of=windows-hdd.img bs=1024k or something similar, but that will copy the freespace as well [10:56] having problems with Madwfi Wifi after upgrde to Ubuntu Jaunty. Anybody familiar with madwifi on latest Ubuntu? [10:56] wiehan: replace the X as appropriate [10:57] A new program Ubuntu has in beta. It is kind of like DropBox. A big difference is that the client is open source and GPL3. [10:57] wiehan: That command will create a hard-drive sized file in the current directory [10:57] Leszczoman, that was for you. [10:57] how to disable display turn off?? Ive set the setting in PowerManagement to never.. but it still turns off by itself [10:58] Ubuntu One page: https://ubuntuone.com/plans/ [10:58] thx guys... i g2g. thx 4 all d help!!! appreciated! [10:58] kmdm: Ok, I read that you can do a mbr and a partition table backup with dd and fdisk and then partition backups with Partition image [10:58] Severian: Oh, thanks:) [10:58] kmdm: Is that a wise way to do it? [10:58] hi .. pls anybody... my usb based sound card not working.. [10:58] previously it was working [10:58] join [10:58] i added karmic as repository and done some upgrades regarding sound [10:58] wiehan: You can backup the entire hard drive with dd - although personally I'd use a Windows program which doesn't also copy the freespace, but then that is somewhat offtopic to this channel ;) [10:58] is there a guide that describes how to get the latest nvidia drivers in jaunty? [10:58] kmdm: I just have no popping clue how you would restore that at a later stage (I am so used to norton ghost) [10:59] zhane, kill gnome-power-manager [10:59] and now it is not working [10:59] wiehan: You'd switch the args to if= and of= around [10:59] wiehan: To be honest, if you're used to Norton Ghost - just use that? [10:59] linduxed: there are but I wouldnt really recommend that depending on your card. [10:59] Slart: I ran the vbetool on my laptop. <_< [10:59] mohan_: yes.. frm bangalore [10:59] ganesh: hey.. me too frm bangalore [10:59] mobi-sheep: it worked? it worked on my desktop.. [11:00] kmdm: For some reason norton ghost gives so many errors and even has problems saving to external had from my gf's laptop, thus I want a linux sollution === Mud is now known as Mud|afk [11:00] ganesh: frm which area? [11:00] Slart: Yup. I had to restart as I have no way to ssh in at the moment. :\ [11:00] ganesh, Do you have really big ears? [11:00] wiehan: I'm gonna /msg you since this is about to get offtopic to #ubuntu. :) [11:01] mobi-sheep: hmm.. mine just popped back up.. [11:01] kmdm: what does the count=1 and bs=512 (block size =512 but can that be anything, should it be a precise number or anything?) [11:01] Severain: don't say like that.. [11:01] wiehan: It can be a precise number if you only want to backup a portion of the hard drive and not all of it [11:02] mohan_, no offense was intended to ganesh. [11:02] wiehan: Run a LiveCD (Suggestion) or Wubi (Fake Suggestion) on the laptop. [11:02] Severian: not to him.. but for our god.. [11:02] Severian:hahaha... i diojn hav though lord ganesh has [11:04] mohan_, None was intended for Lord Ganesh, either. I apologize, if it was taken that way. [11:04] Severian: no prob.. are u too from india? [11:04] hi, just wondering about the cube desktop spin feature thing... i can make it into a cube and spin around 4 sides, but if i have 6 desktops it makes it a hexagon. can i have 6 desktops on a cube using top and bottom? [11:05] Severian: hey its fine..:) [11:05] mohan_, I am from Texas. I used to work for a company from Bangalore. [11:05] Severian: Oh.. ok.. [11:05] xenocrates: You're not thinking productive at the moment. :o [11:05] xenocrates, Desktops onlu go on the sides. [11:06] how to turn on kwin compositor?

[11:06] Slart: sorry, i tried fullscreening a flv video file and it crashed ubuntu -_-; [11:06] i mean sound problem [11:07] m0u5e: ah.. annoying [11:07] Slart: dunno if it happens with VLC, but it happens with mplayer and the xv video driver === DodgerDog is now known as DodgerDog^Sleep [11:08] mohan_, Are you running 9.04 with both jaunty and kosmic repositories? That is a recipe for lots of things not working. [11:08] mm.. got to get me some of those kosmic updates ;) [11:09] Severian: yes.. thats the problem.. [11:09] mohan_, I suggest you wipe and reinstall. [11:09] on the sides? really?? is there any reason you cant have a desktop on the top and bottom? i think it would look sweet [11:09] does vlc not support ssa/ass subtitles? :( [11:10] Severian: oh god.. [11:10] xenocrates: I think general developer laziness.. that's all [11:10] mohan_, I am running kosmic on a test machine. It is good to try it. But mixing versions like that is not good. [11:10] Severian: oh.. [11:10] m0u5e: http://www.jakeludington.com/ask_jake/20070424_how_to_play_ssa_files.html [11:10] xenocrates: you would have problems with what direction to use as "up".. things would have to spin aroudn.. it would probably get weird [11:10] !9.10 [11:10] Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [11:11] office, how to kill it? [11:11] m0u5e: If you do a google search you should be able to find exactly what you need :) [11:11] mohan_: I use Karmic Koala on the production machines and high-availability system servers all times. :) [11:11] Severian: do u know what are all the sound related packages of ubuntu? [11:11] has anyone had there dyndns account locked when using ddclient ? [11:12] mobi-sheep: then what would be going on my system? [11:12] mohan_: I don't know. :| [11:12] mohan_, No. [11:12] bcj: what if it is an embedded subtitle though? [11:12] Pls any body tell about INDIC on-Screen Keyboard [11:12] nickgrey147: I've had no such problems.. but the dyndns people are pretty stingy about update intervals and such [11:12] bcj: and a lot of ssa/ass subs have custom fonts and stuff... 6__6; [11:13] http://www.videolan.org/doc/play-howto/en/ch03.html [11:13] nickgrey147, I think Slart has it. Don't update too often. [11:13] Slart: o ok , i had it set to 600 [11:13] nickgrey147: I use no-ip myself and it's in repos too. [11:13] although the pc rebooted like 3 times in a row [11:13] nickgrey147: check their site.. they will ban you pretty quickly [11:13] My computer's being really slow, getting really hot, the fans working his arse off and this error wont go away :'( - http://i39.tinypic.com/15g9xf5.jpg [11:14] m0u5e: I'd be surprised if the subtitle isn't encoded such that it can be played back using any system font with the appropriate characters. [11:14] it hasnt happend in awhile , but iam scared it happens again , the pc is off site :/ [11:14] whats the command to send private msg? [11:14] ganesh: /msg [11:14] My computer's being really slow, getting really hot, the fans working his arse off and this error wont go away :'( - http://i39.tinypic.com/15g9xf5.jpg [11:15] http://i39.tinypic.com/15g9xf5.jpg - that error is really freaking me out [11:15] mobi-sheep, I can tell you were joking. In the last cycle, I only had a day or two when the test version was not very usable. But, mohan_ real problem was not using karmic, but mixing it with jaunty. [11:15] bencrisford: sudo apt-get remove tracker :) [11:15] corrupt harddrive [11:15] bencrisford: There was an error while performing indexing -- Index corrupted -- Start reindexing all contents. [11:15] :P [11:15] mobi-sheep: I did that, and it doesnt fix it [11:15] lol [11:15] Severian: oh.. [11:15] canton: Ill try that thanks [11:16] bencrisford: that isn't very serious.. indexing is just the desktop search thingy..try restarting it.. or don't use it at all [11:16] bencrisford: mobi-sheep: There's a known Ubuntu/Jaunty bug about this - search launchpad [11:16] bencrisford: Try doing a disk check. [11:16] its being really slow too :( [11:16] but thanks [11:16] ill remove tracker [11:16] see if that sorts it [11:16] bencrisford: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [11:16] Severian: Ya. It's the receipt for troubles. :) [11:16] Running a Nvidia Gefore 7200 on my machine. got screenlets installed and its showwing that my nvidia core temp is 104 C... IS that about normal? Or do i need to blow the fan on it? [11:17] mohan_, When trying the test versions of Ubuntu, the best advice I found was this. If you are ever offered to do a partial upgrade, refuse and try again later. [11:17] An information for you all The latest APTonCD is not working in ubuntu9.04 [11:17] Severian: ok.. [11:17] dva5912: open you box and look if the vga card fan is spinning [11:17] I had installed an old version of APTonCD and it is working fine [11:17] bencrisford: Tracker is useful for indexing contents but if you know where things are all times, then you don't really need it. You installed tracker? I don't think Jaunty came with GUI tracker... but rather a small library for nautilus integration. [11:17] nickgrey147: has no fan [11:17] bencrisford: mobi-sheep: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/jaunty/+source/tracker/+bug/346912 [11:18] kmdm: Ty [11:18] dva5912: has no fan ... [11:18] bencrisford: You could enable jaunty-proposed and see if the proposed package helps you [11:18] dva5912: hmm , ok :P no idea , my gpu runs at like 63 c full load :P [11:18] kerebrus__: no. has a heat sync and thats it. [11:19] * dva5912 thinks its time to purchase an fan unit [11:19] im gonna reboot again i think, if it isnt sorted ill come back on here ;), thanks guys [11:19] hey guys ever since ive upgraded to 9.04, i havent been able to connect to the internet [11:19] lol [11:19] I really dont like this thing ideling at 103 right now [11:19] im an absolute beginner here so is there a way to fix? [11:19] bencrisford have a windows mindset. :) [11:20] * kmdm grins [11:20] are there any up to date guides for getting video on an ipod for ubuntu? [11:20] nickgrey147: would it help if i took the side panel off and blew a box fan into it? [11:20] alex92 [11:20] use pppoeconf [11:20] alexb92, on one machine, I had to go in and reconfigure my ethernet port. It did not take longs and worked fine after that. [11:20] jals: Use VLC to convert videos. [11:20] bcj: oh it actually plays embedded ssa/ass subs fine... but it keeps repeating the same "chapters" :( [11:20] alexb92: and delete network-manager , and if u want to use the /etc/network/interfaces file :P [11:20] hi, I upgraded to jaunty the other day, since then no sound works in skype, internet flash does not work, and it simply runs less smooth, any ideas? [11:20] mobi-sheep, thanks, will look into that now [11:20] how do u do that? sorry like i said im a newbie when it comes to this [11:20] to edit the local ip* [11:21] jals: You might want to find out what file format / container iPod support first. [11:21] m0u5e: It might be worth trying google and/or the VLC channel. [11:21] alexb92: consol sudo pppoeconf [11:21] m0u5e: Try VLC 1.0 RC2. >_> [11:21] fing a... i put on a black screen and the cpu just rose a mark [11:22] sorry gpu* [11:22] alexb92, System/Preferences/Network Connections [11:22] #join zezenia [11:22] #join [11:23] im running pppoeconf right now [11:23] #join zezenia [11:23] nyc [11:23] quick question - how do I make the terminal show when I type in the password? [11:23] Xolruya, I think you want /join #zezenia [11:23] I want to access F: drive of Windows XP from Ubuntu how to do that? [11:23] Severian: I think he's spamming. === FunkTheSys is now known as FunkTheSys|Mampf [11:23] Help Me !!!!! I want to access F: drive of Windows XP from Ubuntu how to do that? [11:23] what would it do if i blew a box fan into the case? would it cool it at all?

[11:24] i wouldnt put it too close to the case, magnets and stuff [11:24] alexd92: dsl ? [11:24] but yeah it should cool it a lil bit [11:24] i have even tried going into firefox and just typing in the router address and even that doesnt display [11:24] yep its dsl [11:24] i used to do it [11:25] but it sucks in ALOT of dust [11:25] Severian: dobt iy [11:25] it* [11:25] dva5912, as a diagnostic aid, technicians blow air into a case from external fans all the time. [11:25] alexd92: type sudo plog [11:25] and maybe it took sum time [11:25] Severian: well ill see if it cools any [11:26] dva5912, I have no idea what dobt iy means. [11:26] doubt it === bgupta|away is now known as bgupta [11:28] nickgrey147: plog does nothing [11:28] alexd92: no out put ?

[11:31] i face lo inet loopback [11:31] so now from 105 to 90 C [11:32] I tried to install kdenlive then for some reason my pc crashed,i hard restarted.Now some packages are stuck and i cant remove them no matter what i tried,i cant even install the whole program: http://paste.ubuntu.com/184891/ === _drtroll is now known as drtroll [11:33] k i need a fan definently. its down to 85. Do they make fans that i can just put over it? or do i have to buy a pci model [11:33] allo [11:33] ok what am i looking for in syslog? [11:34] alexb92, I don't know. I was just trying to get you past the plog problem. [11:35] dva5912, Are you asking whether they make fans to install on video cards? If so, then yes. [11:36] actuly im asking, what brand should i go with. Im defenently getting one Severian [11:36] I tried to install kdenlive then for some reason my pc crashed,i hard restarted.Now some packages are stuck and i cant remove them no matter what i tried,i cant even install the whole program: http://paste.ubuntu.com/184891/ [11:36] KiRiLoS, Have you tried fixing broken packages. In Synaptic, that is Edit/Fix Broken Packages [11:37] dva5912, There are a bunch of decent ones. What kind of video card is it? What is the main video chip? [11:37] Severian, i click that and nothing happens. [11:38] hmm [11:38] Severian: its a Nvidia Gefore 7200. Neveer came with one... I was thinking about getting this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/EVERCOOL-SB-RV-Rocket-V-PCI-Slot-System-Cooler-Dual-Fan_W0QQitemZ380119929376QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item5880e9d220&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1234|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318|301%3A0|293%3A1|294%3A50 [11:38] severian: u know how before u were talking about interfaces file? do i edit that? [11:39] KiRiLoS, Sorry. I'll look for something and come back. === jack is now known as Guest39480 [11:40] dva5912, That would probably do fine, if you have an open slot on the correct side of the video card. [11:40] Is there a better command to search a bunch of files for a keyword than "cat * | grep lolcat" [11:40] Severian: yes i do. wow 105 - 80 C... big change [11:40] thanks [11:40] mobi-sheep: just grep -R ... [11:40] alexb92, I don't remember referring to an interfaces file. I pointed you to a couple of log files. [11:41] i was running on an old nvidia geforce FX5200 for a while, it was an OEM dell card with no fan [11:41] i taped the fan from an old slot 1 pentium 2 CPU to it lol [11:41] mobi-sheep, sudo updatedb then locate 'whatever' [11:41] woops sorry [11:41] mrwes: that won't search inside files [11:41] ahh [11:42] dva5912, I think I have one video card with a fan. I usually look for cards that don't have them. I do tend to have pretty good ventilation in my cases from front mounted fans. [11:42] jrib: grep -i -n ? === Guest39480 is now known as aquei [11:42] I tried to install kdenlive then for some reason my pc crashed,i hard restarted.Now some packages are stuck and i cant remove them no matter what i tried,i cant even install the whole program: http://paste.ubuntu.com/184891/ [11:42] mrwes: if he wants those options, sure [11:42] hmm so is there anything we can do? [11:43] !anyone | alexb92 [11:43] alexb92: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [11:43] Severian: the only thing that gate way did for my case was to have this stupid piece on the front that i can take off for more ventalation. plan out stupid. other than that all i got is a CPU fan and a large sys fan [11:43] alexb92: erm, wrong factoid, but please just repeat your question instead of asking that [11:43] Rephrase: Is there a command to find a specific file by finding a specific keyword inside the said file? [11:44] mobi-sheep: the command I gave you...? [11:44] I've got a laptop with ubuntu on it, if I SSH into it, and put a USB stick into it, how can I browse whats on the stick? I cant see it in /media. [11:44] KiRiLoS, Look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=401232 [11:44] jrib: That doesn't work. It's same as "cat * | grep lolcats" [11:44] <_10ur_> hii [11:44] mobi-sheep: it's not the same, but how it does it not do what you want? [11:45] jrib: I'm looking for a particular file by looking for a text keyword. [11:45] usicow: what /dev is the usb drive? [11:45] mobi-sheep: yes. So use the command I gave you. [11:45] is there a way to ping the router? [11:45] mobi-sheep: you have checked the man page for grep, haven't you? [11:45] jrib: grep just give me the line / message but does not say which file ? [11:45] mobi-sheep: pastebin [11:45] dva5912, I has one somewhat recent gateway system. It has the worst ventilation of any of my computers. Now that I think about it, it does crash from the heat every once in a while. [11:45] jrib: -R ---> Recursively under all directories. I have no directory. Just bunch of files. [11:46] mrwes: I'm not sure, how can I tell? [11:46] mobi-sheep: pastebin please [11:46] Severian: wouldent surprise me. i think i might just invent a side panel fan to instal on this thing [11:46] jrib: I can't. I'm searching for an old conversation. You get the idea. [11:47] mobi-sheep: feel free to drop the -R but that just works in a more general setting. I don't understand why you aren't pastebinning your attempt at running the command I gave you [11:47] How do I make it so I can see feedback when i enter my password in the terminal? [11:47] make up some example [11:47] usicow, from the terminal type sudo fdisk -l (lower case L) [11:47] jrib: it would contain e-mail adresses and private data [11:47] usicow, see if the drive is listed /dev/sdb1 or something like that [11:48] mobi-sheep: the point is grep will list filenames by default when you do grep foo file1 file2 ... [11:48] mobi-sheep: just check the -l switch in the man page for grep [11:48] mrwes: yep, its there as /dev/sdb1 [11:48] Hi [11:48] hey guys anyone know how to install skype? [11:48] on 9.04? [11:48] Severian, this could work,but the packages i have problems with are not in there! [11:48] How can I install java to play games? [11:48] usicow: now type sudo mkdir /media/usb [11:49] usicow, then sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mediat/usb [11:49] mrwes: done [11:49] mobi-sheep: but jrib is correct.. grep prints the filename first.. then the matching line [11:49] mrwes: fantastic :) thanks! [11:49] KiRiLoS, Well, one option would be to get them. Didn't you say there were just a few problem packages. [11:49] Slart, mobi-sheep: -H is the actual option, but it gets turned on by default for multiple files [11:49] usicow, you want to read and write to it correct? [11:49] Severian, yeah two packages,but how could i get them? [11:50] mrwes: but the strange thing is, I'm pretty sure that if I did this via gnome, it just works.. would that be right? [11:50] How can I install java to play games? [11:50] !java > gidna [11:50] usicow, uh? [11:50] gidna, please see my private message [11:50] !java [11:50] 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 [11:50] hi [11:50] KiRiLoS, from the repositories. What version of Ubuntu are you on?

[11:51] Severian, yeap i got them installed. [11:51] KiRiLoS, Does that mean you are OK now? [11:51] Severian, packages swh-plugins and ttf-dejavu-extra [11:51] usicow, first what's the username on the box? Type sudo chown -R yourusername:yourusername /media/usb [11:52] Slart, jrib: grep -l answered my question. However, I fail to understand something which jrib were pointing out. I used grep as a second command (using pipe) and by using pipe, it does not display the lines. So I tried what you guys were "hinting" and I used grep as a command. Slart + jrib. It does display a file --> then content. Thank you. :) [11:52] Severian, nope! still i cant install the whole package(Kdenlive) nor i can remove it! [11:52] usicow, and finally sudo chmod -r 755 /media/usb [11:52] Hi, When I went to record some things today using Jack and Ardour I opened everything like normal, but today I wasnt getting any input from my USB Microphone. So I checked everything and everything seemed ok in Ardour and hardware wise, so I checked the options in Jack Control, and for some reason it isn't seeing my USB microphone under "Input Device" anymore. I tried moving the microphone to different ports and everything else, but It just [11:52] wont see it. Does anyone know why Jack would stop recoginizing this device it's previouslyt had no problems with, and how I could fix this? [11:52] mobi-sheep: note -l stops on first match === DaZ| is now known as DaZ [11:53] /me waves his hands [11:53] heh [11:53] KiRiLoS, you ran the command to install those two packages. The command from the ubuntuforum page. [11:53] If i were to run water cooling in my case how much further beyond 80C could i get my gpu? [11:53] jrib: Thanks. So I don't need to use "cat * | grep" as that is pointless. I have lot of linux commands to learn. :) [11:53] Rigongia use /action instead of /me :) [11:54] mobi-sheep: google useless use of cat :) [11:54] thanks mrwes :D [11:54] * mrwes sees Rigongia waving his hand [11:54] /action takes a sit [11:54] mobi-sheep: then you're not feeding grep many files.. you're probably feeding grep one file at a time.. then it doesn't output the filename [11:54] Severian, sorry but i dont understand which command you are talking about :( [11:54] dva5912, You probably would not get it past 100 degrees, because water boils there. [11:54] shrug [11:54] KiRiLoS, at the bottom of http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=401232 [11:55] mrwes: that sounds like it would work.. but when I issue the chown command I get chown: changing ownership of `/media/usb/dsc_0532.jpg': Operation not permitted.. that happens for all files on the stick.. [11:55] usicow, did you use sudo chown ? [11:55] mrwes: yep [11:55] hrmm [11:55] Severian: true. Would it, could it possibly go lower? [11:55] Severian, i tried that,but since the packages that are causing the problem are NOT in that folder nothing special happens. [11:55] usicow, maybe cuz you ssh'd in === imi_ is now known as imi [11:55] usicow: what filesystem is on the usb [11:56] * dva5912 turns his box fan up one notch to see if it will lower the temp at all [11:56] hej [11:56] boss_mc: fat16 [11:56] mobi-sheep: or if you're using "cat * | grep bla" you're really sending one big blob of data to grep.. not even a file [11:56] is there a way to get access to the internet or the router?

[11:56] i dont know whats wrong and i have run ifconfig into console and it says rx errors 274 and tx errors are 84 [11:56] dva5912, sure. With more exotic systems, it might go down to 40 something. Really exotic systems can cool to way under ) degrees C. It depends on how crazy you are. [11:56] dva5912: Ive had a box-fan next to my computer for about a week now. [11:57] boss_mc: not sure :) all I can see if that all the files are owned by root:root.. but I think I can do everything I want as long as I sudo it.. [11:57] pomoże ktoś z NetBeans? [11:57] Slart: That's quite true. I never thought of that approach. [11:57] thanks mrwes and boss_mc. [11:57] Makuseru: really helps doesnt it? [11:57] sure [11:57] KiRiLoS, you need to run that command for the two troublesome packages. [11:57] * dva5912 smiles in joy as it hits 75 [11:57] usicow : try splitting the thing in two. First do a sudo su and then do the chown thingy [11:57] usicow: try using -o uid=xxx,gid=xxx when mounting fat/ntfs devices, put your uid/gid instead of the xxx [11:58] dva5912: Very. Gets a bit chiilly with a fan on your legs all the time however. [11:58] usicow: canton++ [11:58] Severian, ok,where can i find these packages ?

It can go a wee bit below 0 degrees C. [12:00] dva5912: why would below 0 temperatures kill something mechanical? your house dies when it's cold outside? your car? [12:00] lol liquid nitrogen!? for the "intensive" gamer right ? that would be funny. [12:01] my car yes... :P [12:01] lstarnes, thank you. [12:01] Severian, i get error with packages : ttf-dejavu-extra & swh-plugins , but the folder got these : http://paste.ubuntu.com/184911/ [12:01] dva5912: you need a better car then =) [12:01] I started using that Ide. Somebody has tutorial [12:01] dva5912: water cooled systems don't use plain water, it's filled with alcohols and oils to make it non-conductive and have higher boiling, lower freezing points [12:02] Severian, but all these in the folder are indeed dependencies of the app i tried to install. [12:02] Slart: if electronics aren't designed for operating at that low a temperature, they can be damaged [12:02] Slart: what happens to things when you cool them? [12:02] HI [12:02] boss_mc what about if one of the lines were to suddenly break? it would ruin the pc right? [12:02] KiRiLoS, What were the two problem packages again? [12:02] bye [12:03] I've installed Openjdk but I can't still not play java games.. [12:03] dva5912, Failure of fancy cooling systems frequently kills the computers. That is a risk you take. [12:03] what should I do? [12:03] Severian, swh-plugins & ttf-dejavu-extra : http://paste.ubuntu.com/184914/ [12:03] gordonjcp: anything that isn't designed for a temperature might get damaged if used in that temperature..I doubt electronics have a that narrow span of temperatures they operate under [12:03] gidna: you need the plugin [12:03] what needs to be changed so i can access the internet? [12:03] Icedtea? [12:04] why i cant log in to game? :O [12:04] Severian: ok then this is off the list because this is out only pc. il stick with the litle 13$ pci fan :) [12:04] Slart: they do [12:04] gordonjcp: but this isn't really on topic here [12:04] no hjeöp [12:04] Slart: especially if you have a hot chip like a CPU soldered to a cold PCB - [12:04] usually electronic operation temperatures are quite broad, most problems arise with moisture (condensation on a cold surface) [12:04] hope you're good at SMT rework [12:05] Xolruya: what are4 you talking about? [12:05] Severian, i had problems with other packages too(Some of the are in that folder),but i managed to remove em.

[12:07] !unr > chazco [12:07] alexb92: I wouldn't do that [12:07] Sorry, I don't know anything about unr [12:07] alexb92: depends what you mean by "safe" [12:07] hi [12:07] alexb92: it will make your computer very safe from people connecting to it over the network [12:08] I've installed all the software necessary to plya java games but I can't play them [12:08] what Should I do [12:08] ?

Is it openJDK necessary to run java applications? or Icedtea Java Plugin can Do the job [12:10] ? [12:10] Seveas, oh nice :P didnt thought of that.I am trying the command dpkg --force-all -i now ? [12:10] alexb92: ok and what is your problem exactly? What is your topology and what exactly does not work? [12:10] Severian, oh nice :P didnt thought of that.I am trying the command dpkg --force-all -i now ? [12:11] i have installed both, evince and acroread 9.1. since i consider the latter to be a resource heavy and prefer to use evince (yet still need sometimes to use acroread), how do i change the defaults for PDF files to be opened in evince (since acroread stole the file type) [12:11] canton : ok ever since i have updated to 9.04 i have not been able to get access to the internet or the router, i dont know what to fix or how to do it becoz im a complete beginner at this [12:11] any help would be greatly appreciated :D [12:11] KiRiLoS, For the other one, do wget http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/t/ttf-dejavu/ttf-dejavu-udeb_2.25-1_all.udeb [12:11] janisozaur: right click on a pdf file in nautilus, tab "open with", then click, click click and click [12:11] salut vik, amis francophone === vik is now known as glaucous [12:12] What are some programs or terminal commands I ca use to locate and undelete a certain files?

[12:12] canton: ethernet. directly connected into the modem/router [12:13] Application for shedules and remainers [12:13] Seveas, ok,i downloaded them both and i used dpkg --force-all -i to them,no errors. should i apt-get update && upgrade ? [12:13] canton, that's not what i want, since it's one-time-only, but there is a tab named "open with" in file preferences which changes this behavior permanently - solved.

If it shows to be installed, then uninstall it and reinstall. Forcing it may have missed dependencies. [12:14] alexb92: so what does sudo ethtool eth0 say? [12:15] how can i make a copy of file in the same directory using commandline? [12:15] Severian, ok.

[12:15] ganesh: are you going to ask this question many times more? [12:16] linduxed what could I do? [12:16] what seems to be the problem [12:16] z [12:16] _ [12:16] canton: yep it has the ip address and masking address but im not sure about the broadcast address [12:16] Slart: sorry but i had not got the answer before.. [12:17] tryed ping?

[12:20] AgentHeX: can't you put the physical drives to sleep? or the raid software wakes them up again? [12:20] Slart: yes..but in gui (mouse) copy and paste will rename to file.ext(copy) by itself..so i thought it would be same with commandline too..sorry once again [12:20] What's the deal with Amarok on 9.04 -- it won't play! [12:20] Slart: haven't actually tried. how do i know if a drive is actually asleep?

[12:21] Sorry, I don't know anything about avidemux [12:21] Severian, it seems that evertything is ok now :P although my fonts are kinda weird now :P [12:21] AgentHeX: hmm.. I'm not really sure.. hdparm perhaps? there might be some other way too [12:21] alexb92: ok what does sudo ping do?

[12:22] ziroday: hmmm, i suspected someone would say that [12:22] Severian, would you mind reminding me where i can change the fonts?(Gnome) [12:22] Slart: and do you know if there's any way to prevent bit rot? i have an offline utility that can recover bad sectors (usually), but i'm looking for more active maintenance that could keep the machine online and maybe write the data back to the drives and correct using the parity data if necessary. i've got three 1TB drives, and the density is undoubtedly prone to errors. [12:23] alexb92: did you play around with apparmor or selinux or stuff like this? root (and putting sudo before a command executes it using the root user) is normally allowed to do anything. [12:23] Severian, ok got it,apperance [12:23] KiRiLoS, The option I have been thinking about, but have not suggest yet is that I think you should probably clear your apt cache. Then, do an upgrade. [12:23] ziroday: i just hope it like usual with ubuntu that it will want to uninstall ubuntu-desktop.... [12:23] alexb92: give me the output of ls -l /bin/ping [12:23] hi everyone, my jaunty64 takes about 20 seconds to think about booting before it actually starts. bootchart says it's kthreadd. does anyone know how to speed it up? where can I upload my bootchart to be examined? [12:24] AgentHeX: hmm... preventing bit rot.. haven't had any problems.. you could add error correcting information .par files comes to mind.. there might be some easier way though [12:24] Severian, i did that myself :P [12:24] KiRiLoS, You found the font change place you wanted? There are several places where fonts are specified for different things. [12:24] Slart: cool. thanks. i'll look into hdparm, though i just figured mdadm would just wake the drives up. [12:24] canton: the issue of alexb92 looks like a case of firewall [12:24] KiRiLoS, good. [12:24] Severian, yeap i did,it seems that my fonts changed to Sans [12:24] guntbert: oh that can be true, ack [12:24] canton: what happened was i was upgrading form 8.10 to 9.04 when a blackout happened so i had to use aptget in recovery mode to fix everything and insstall everything again [12:25] linduxed: uninstalling ubuntu-desktop is fine it just a metapackage and as long as you have the dependencies you can reinstall it [12:25] hi all [12:25] canton: so that worked and 9.04 is working but i dunno what could be the cause. i dont have a firewall installed on the computer that i am aware of [12:25] Hi All, where can i get a jre for eclipse such that i can copy and paste it inside the eclipse folder? [12:25] is there a way i can copy only those files which are modified after a certain time from a folder. ls -t does list all entries according to modification time. i am wondering how to use it [12:26] Severian, thank you so much :D [12:26] fornix: find [12:26] alexb92: try sudo iptables -L -n [12:26] canton: Perhaps have alex check out iptables? [12:26] Severian, btw any idea about where i could find the default font configuration ? :P [12:26] alexb92: please pastebin the output of sudo iptables -L [12:26] ok [12:26] what does it show [12:26] KiRiLoS, sure. Good luck and enjoy Ubuntu. [12:27] fornix: something like find -mtime bla bla bla -exec copy {} /backupfolder/ [12:27] KiRiLoS, Do you mean what file hold the font names specified for the desktop? [12:27] fornix: there's probably lots of small errors in that.. but you get the idea [12:27] hey guys [12:27] canton: you suggestion was more sensible then mine if he has no access to the network :) [12:27] *than [12:28] guntbert: i did not tell him to use pastebin [12:28] Severian, no,i mean where i could find what type of fonts does ubuntu use by default,so i can change them back to the default [12:28] Slart: you think running md5sum on everything on an array would cause the system to detect bit rot at the RAID level (disk sector goes bad, use parity to recover)? [12:28] only to look at the output [12:28] Slart: thanks reading man page for find [12:28] ciao [12:28] AgentHeX: probable.. but I'm not sure [12:29] KiRiLoS, No, I don't know. I can look at a fresshly installed 9.04 machine and see what it says. If you'll give me a moment to start it up. [12:29] canton: thats what I meant being more sensible than my suggestion, and -n is good too [12:29] canton: guys thank u for all ur help i dont mean to be a trouble [12:29] friends anybody tell me the application name for home finanacial accounting [12:30] canton: sorry i cant paste the information, im using a windows laptop now and the computer i am fixing is a desktop [12:30] Severian, ofc,take your time :) [12:30] alexb92: use mibbit. it is possible [12:30] canton: what r u looking for in that output [12:30] can anyone tell me what the php5-mysql package is? [12:30] Severian, System>Preferences>Apperance>Fonts [12:31] i thought you had to build php with mysql support, so is that a separate version of php5? [12:31] alexb92: ok ok we know, is the output of the above (iptables) command showing something like that: http://pastebin.com/m7564f1e [12:31] because from the description it sounds like its some sort of separate extension module [12:31] alexb92: have a look at the "ACCEPT"s and that there are no "rules" [12:31] wcauchois: it is excatly correct [12:31] Padhu: which one? :P [12:32] canton: no they all say policy drop === FunkTheSys|Mampf is now known as FunkTheSys|Verda [12:32] alexb92: fine, that's your problem. so try the following three commands: [12:32] KiRiLoS, Application font, Document font, and Desktop font are Sans 10.

[12:34] canton: yep they all now say policy accept [12:34] alexb92: ping? [12:34] glaucous: what about this link [12:35] alexb92: first try a ping in your local network (ip, not name), then an ip ouside of the local network (i.e. 141.1.1.1), then a hostname or url like www.google.com [12:35] this should all work without sudo [12:35] canton: sudo ping 10.0.0.138 = ping: sendmsg: operation not permitted [12:36] wtf [12:36] canton: exactly [12:36] canton: i said the exact same thing when the internet wasnt working and i thought all my configurations were correct [12:36] canton: i havent been using ubuntu long, just less than a year and im slowly learning everything [12:37] alexb92: Is this a wired connection? [12:37] canton: ive tried pinging google.coom but it says : unknown host [12:37] alexb92: iptables -L [12:37] Slart: hey. evidently, hdparm has a -y option to force standby. it successfully spins down RAID disks. when i query the network share, it hangs until the drive is spun back up. [12:37] alexb92: at least we have found the iptables problem but i am just wondering what else can cause the above message [12:37] nibbler: already done [12:37] hamza: yes its a wired connection [12:37] ah i c, what is current iptables -L [12:38] alexb92, when did it stop working? [12:38] ziroday: well the thing is that every time it has asked me to uninstall the metapackage it has dragged along the deps [12:38] kalmi: when i upgraded to 9.04 [12:38] Severian, any ideas about the font? :/ [12:38] alexb92, can you pm me the output of ifconfig? [12:39] alexb92, or... does everything look alright in the output of ipconfig? [12:39] kalmi: no i cant im using a different computer [12:39] sorry for any garbage typed while I was away, I have cats [12:39] alexb92, *ifconfig [12:39] heh heh...

[12:41] I have installed Ubuntu 9.04 on my laptop and when using mozilla it flickers, can some help me out. [12:41] alexb92: while trying to execute ping have a look on "sudo tail -f /var/log/syslog" on another console and look if any message appears while trying to execute "sudo ping [12:41] canton: it keeps getting worse and worse.... its a ssimple wired connection, not that hard, i would have been on the internet years ago if this was in windows lol [12:41] alexb92: have you check the nat table? [12:41] gnr: no i havent [12:41] alexb92: your system is something f** up [12:41] KiRiLoS: In 8.10, enabling FreeType rendering tends to make fonts look better.

I can think of several things. Can you get around it? Like, by selecting a different font? [12:42] Severian, hmm i'll check free type if that doesnt help i guess i'll change the font :P [12:42] hi I need to change my mac in UBUNTU help me [12:43] help please!!! [12:43] Hey guys, I have Ubuntu 9.04 installed. I want to try out slackware, so i have installed slackware onto some free space - i installed it under 1 partition (/dev/sda7) and told it not to install a bootloader as I want ubuntu to handle this... how do i add the slackware operating system to grub so i can dual boot and choose between ubuntu and slackware ? I Have added an entry into menu.lst but it won't boot saying invalid device.. any ideas? [12:43] gnr: warning all config files need .conf : etc/modprobe.d/irda- utils will be ignored same with oss-compat [12:43] murad, permanently?

This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !patience [12:45] oh... [12:45] alexb92: another thing: look at the output of "ifconfig eth0", there should be the string "UP" in the second line [12:46] canton: yep i tried a whole bunch of crap turned up on screen [12:46] Ayuda [12:46] alexb92: Does ifconfig eth0 say UP? [12:46] murad: Preferences > Network Connections [12:47] hamza: no it says up broadcast running multicast [12:47] hi , my system cannot start X server , the system gives error saying that the filesystem is read only [12:47] any fix ? [12:47] Hello I have a problem with my Ubuntu 9.04 RAID 1 Installation when trying to configure GRUB. Here's my RAID setup http://paste.ubuntuusers.de/395310/ and here is the tutorial I used: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto. The proposed step is "grub> device (hd0) /dev/mapper/isw_beeaakeeaa_five" which I changed to "grub> device (hd0) /dev/mapper/isw_djfcejfjjb_Volume01" in my case. The error is: "Error 15: File not found" [12:47] Preferences > Network Connections ii cant find it [12:48] alexb92: Ok. Try: sudo sysctl net.ipv4.ip_forward - does it report 0 or 1? [12:48] Hello ! My dvd player seems to be freeze. I can't eject my dvd. Any idea ? [12:49] hamza: 1 [12:49] Preferences > Network Connections I cant find it [12:49] Lillois1986, kids, peanut butter? [12:49] alexb92: Hmm. One moment please. [12:50] Severian, well,my fonts are clear enough but the problem is that it's kinda...Tall! wait i'll post a screenshot of my current font and the previous i had. [12:50] hamza: ok , thank you very very very much for all of your patience, time and help it is very appreciated [12:50] canton: same with you canton, i cant thank you enough [12:50] are dell vostro with ubuntu available? anyone knows? [12:51] Lillois1986, sometimes, shutting down the computer completely will release a drive that thinks it should be locked. When you power it back on, you'll be able to eject. Other times, you have to use the paper clip trick. [12:51] ciao [12:51] vorrei sapere se c'è qualcuno che mi puo aiutare [12:51] Severian, http://tinyurl.com/m3z97p can you see the difference?look at Applications Places System [12:51] Lillois1986: #eject [12:51] how can i change my MAC ADDRESS AT ETHO [12:52] alexb92: No problem. Could you please try ifconfig eth0 and tell me what is the broadcast address? [12:52] hamza: 10.0.0.255 [12:52] murad: ifconfig eth0 down then ifconfig eth0 hw aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff === saulus_ is now known as SauLus [12:52] alexb92: And what is the netmask address? [12:53] 255.255.255.0 [12:53] The eject command doesn't work either. [12:53] Is there a DJ program available? or an extension to amarok or a similiar player? [12:54] hi [12:54] Lillois1986: #eject -f /dev/yourdvd [12:54] i'm italian [12:54] i've a problem [12:54] Hamza, check this out,my fonts seem "taller" any ideas to fix that? http://tinyurl.com/m3z97p (Check Applications Places System) [12:54] with bcm4311 [12:54] lorethebetter: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [12:54] who can help me? [12:54] KiRiLoS, They both look OK to me. The bottom one looks better. Which is the current? [12:55] Severian, the current is the top.That's the problem :P [12:55] hamza: 255.255.255.0 [12:56] hello again, I have returned, and I've deleted ubuntu. For some reason I could not get a boot loader called Boot Magic to boot linux, this was never a problem before on any other PC, and I think it is because linux was in an extended partition's virtual drive, rather than in a Primary partition. So, I deleted the whole thing, and the extended partition. [12:56] Permission denied is comming [12:56] alexb92: Did you upgrade this machine by any chance? [12:56] KiRiLoS, I don't have any suggestion. [12:57] KiRiLoS: Odd. Is this a desktop or a laptop display? [12:57] murad: Try "sudo" before the command you want to enter. [12:57] Hamza, desktop.It happened when i reinstalled a font package! [12:57] sudo stands for something, right? like, super user something or other... [12:57] Severian, it's ok you helped me enough for today!Keep up the good work! [12:57] someone can help me? [12:58] stands for "superuser do" [12:58] gnr : the eject -f command doesn't work, I pushed the eject button while ubuntu was mounting the dvd. [12:58] oh, cool [12:58] KiRiLoS: Do you remember the name of the font package? [12:58] uhhh, so unmount it [12:58] alexb92: -> Did you upgrade this machine by any chance? [12:58] Hamza, ofc, ttf-dejavu-extra [12:58] but it is NOT mounted [12:58] If I try installing ubuntu again, will it try to install everything into an extended partition again? Is that normal? [12:59] !nvidia [12:59] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [12:59] Lillois1986: #df -hT says it's not mounted? [12:59] Lillois1986, is there a small hole on the front panel of the DVD drive? Most drives have an emergency eject built in there. You use a bent paper clip to activate the switch inside. [12:59] adac: try Mixxx [13:00] I've done that, if the DVD is spinning up at high speed, it can be very bad for it to be ejected that way, better to power down the machine first or something. [13:00] !nvidia | AnAnt__ [13:00] AnAnt__, please see my private message [13:00] sudo umount -f /media/cdrom ---> umount: /media/cdrom: n'est pas monté (is not mounted) [13:00] forceflow, thx! [13:00] it's not perfect, but it gets the job done === andrew_ is now known as Guest49977 [13:00] alexb92, canton: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/udev/+bug/315370 <- This bug has been reported. It's a problem with udev apparently. [13:01] Hamza, any ideas ? [13:01] I see a hole on the front panel, I'm trying what you said [13:01] Hamza, i think there is a command for refreshing fonts or something [13:01] good luck Lillois [13:01] I have installed Ubuntu 9.04 on my laptop and when using mozilla it flickers. I am pretty sure it has something to do with the refresh rate. [13:01] hello - i need a video tool that easily provides video effects like windows-movie-maker does. in detail i need a speedup-effect - any idea? tnx. [13:01] mower26, that is unlikely [13:01] hamza: yes i did [13:01] raven_: try avidemux [13:01] Uhm, so, does anyone know if ubuntu will try to install into a Primary partition if I try to install it again? [13:02] what could it be [13:02] mower26, does it also happen with the desktop effects off ? [13:02] hamza: but thats stupid becoz the computers i am using a windows based except for 2 in the house, so how would i be able to fix the problem? [13:02] forceflow i did but i could not find a double-speed-effect [13:02] I have removed compiz [13:02] KiRiLoS: One moment, please. [13:02] raven_, easily provides effect. No such program. There are very powerful video processing tools for Linux, but no easy one yet. [13:02] krepta_: I'm not quite sure of your situation, but you can specify where you want Ubuntu to be installed in the Partition Manager. [13:03] Severian need not to be easy but i need such an effect ;) [13:03] what is a good equivalent to nero for ubuntu? [13:03] raven_, Look at cinelerra [13:03] EyeDunno: Brasero? [13:03] can it burn dvds and whatnot? [13:03] isos... [13:03] EyeDunno: yes, it's in the standard ubuntu install installation [13:03] alexb92 : sorry for asking this again.. was the problem is with ping not permitted? [13:04] it burns audio discs, data discs, and image files :) [13:04] When I install it is basically a wizard kind of thing, I can tell it to use the whole hard drive, which means it will go into a primary partition, but I want to keep windows, so I tell it to use the free space that is available on the hard drive. That's not a partition manager though, it's more automated and dumb user friendly. [13:04] o [13:04] alexb92: Could you please try this: sudo ./ipmasq stop and then try pinging? [13:04] cool :) [13:04] krepta_, the dvd is not spinning. My device just doesn't respond anymore [13:04] There are other programs in the works. There is a videl framework called gmerlin that some people use to create effects like that. [13:04] Sevrian i am doing at the moment but where is the speedup-thing? [13:04] KiRiLoS: Are you on jaunty? [13:04] Hamza, yeah [13:04] oh, that's too bad lillois. :( [13:04] Well, good for the DVD though [13:04] How can I get TV out working on Nvidia NV18 GeForce4 MX nForce GPU? I'm using the S-Video port hooked up to a PAL CRT TV, [13:04] PAL-B. [13:04] krepta_: There is a third option in the Partition Manager, allows you to create/edit partitions. [13:05] I'm goint to wait until my encoding is finished, then I will reboot my laptop. [13:05] that card is notorious for problems with Ubuntu [13:05] Ok then, I'll try that. Is there an option for NOT installing grub in the first place? [13:05] what's the word for when a video shows the colors wrong, sort of inverted or something [13:05] Lillois1986, if it had a drive failure due to a power supply(the one on the drive), or a control card, there may be no way to eject short of disassembly. I had to do that to a pioneer drive once. [13:05] Thanks forceflow [13:05] jals: bad saturation/hue settings ? [13:05] Bash Experts --> How would I place "ifconfig | grep 'inet addr:'| grep -v '127.0.0.1' | cut -d: -f2 | awk '{ print $1}'" to a value? [13:05] krepta_: If you're not going to install Grub, then how are you going to switch between Operating Systems? [13:06] I have this problem since I am running 9.04. [13:06] Pranka: lilo [13:06] forceflow, saturation might be it, i need to know the term to google it heh [13:06] Anyone? [13:06] I have Boot Magic 8.0 [13:06] hoohaah: Not even Lilo. [13:06] jals: if you've got a problem with the standard ubuntu movie player, it happened to me one time too: just readjust the hue/sat settings :) [13:06] KiRiLoS: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=228359 <- Perhaps this might work? === N is now known as Guest25317 [13:06] gnr: yes [13:06] krepta_, what is bootmagic good for? [13:06] forceflow, it's not that so much, i ripped a dvd using VLC and it's come out wrong, even on my ipod so it's not a display issue [13:06] Hamza, thanks,i'll check it out and i'll let u know [13:07] hamza: doesnt work it says command not found [13:07] it's ripped badly i guess [13:07] jals: probably,yes ... shame of the work :-) [13:07] alexb92 : then try with #nmap -sP the.ip.just.now [13:07] It's good for booting any dang OS I want, I used to use it all the time with like 5 OSes, I had more than one HD to play with at the time. [13:07] so trying to google, but not sure how to describe the problem [13:07] hi [13:07] jals, check out Handbrake, it has presets for ripping DVD's to IPODs [13:07] raven_, ask the cinelerra people. They do all sorts of stuff like that. A user at a local LUG showed us time compression, but I don't know the program. That was at least two years ago. [13:07] By the way, encoding in x264 is faster using 64bits OS than 32 bits. [13:08] !hi | ubuntu [13:08] ubuntu: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [13:08] ANYONE USE VIRTUAL PC [13:08] mrwes, command line though right? i'll have a look anyway [13:08] Lillois1986: not significantly [13:08] severian ok i'll try - tnx [13:08] may 5-10% or so [13:08] I had windows 98b, dos with windows 3.11, linux, and a couple other oses all running on the same machine, using boot magic, loved the thing. [13:08] hello, what is the name of the file to configure the runlevel to run by default /etc/ ? [13:08] I FAILD TO CHANGE MY MAC ADDRESS ANY MORE SMART SOLUTION?

We can read lowercase too. [13:10] murad: Do you want to change your mac address permanently or temporarily? And please use lowercase. [13:10] helper, debial does not do runlevels like you might expect. Normal for debian systems like ubuntu is 2. [13:10] o sorry [13:10] hamza: sorry what do i type into console? [13:10] murad: ifconfig eth0 down then ifconfig eth0 hw ether aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff ----i did told you just now [13:10] I love virtual machine, I haven't used it in a while, but it's neat. Sure does limit things though, any OS installed in it is gonna be slower than in a real partition on the hard drive. [13:10] gnr: that's not permanent... [13:10] temporarily [13:10] java sux [13:10] Severian i know , once here they give me naame of conffiguration file in /etc/ i 4got it , [13:10] murad, Hamza: You could just use networkmanager [13:11] hoohaah : maybe it depends on the processor. With my T7200, I had a 14 fps rate on a 32 bits ubuntu. now I have a 23 fps rate. Concerning the First pass, It didn't improve like that though [13:11] alexb92: First: cd /etc/init.d (enter) Then: sudo ./ipmasq stop (enter) and then try pinging. [13:11] kalmi: how [13:11] krepta_, xp boots faster in kvm for me :) [13:11] Kalmi: you can;t make it permanent , that's why it's called burn-in address [13:11] Wow [13:11] helper: /etc/inittab [13:11] Well, is that because it is a fresh install, and therefore less crap? [13:11] hehe. [13:11] gnr, but you can get sour OS to set it everytime it boots [13:11] helper, hoohah got it. I was looking it up. [13:11] gnr, *your [13:11] helper, sudo telinit 3 [13:11] for exemple [13:11] LOL just dual booted ubuntu and xp [13:12] hoohaah no config file in that name [13:12] murad, do you see that network tray icon? [13:12] helper: beware of typos [13:12] hamza: i went into filesystem then etc and i looked in there and the file doesnt even exist [13:12] is it possible to mount only one partition of a mirrored lvm setup (in case one of the mirrored drives dies) [13:12] I like booting lots of things, I wish I had a nice bunch of hard drives to play with again. [13:12] helper: why do you want to change the runlevel? [13:12] hoohaah copy /paste from u :P [13:12] Kalmi:my what? [13:12] hey my audio simply stoped working [13:12] gnr, operating system [13:12] jrib i'm studying using DVD learn linux so i want to check how to config be [13:13] kalmi I am new so tell me details [13:13] !upstart | helper [13:13] helper: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model.

[13:13] !lvm [13:13] Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [13:13] helper: ubuntu uses upstart, read its documentation [13:13] I love how you guys help so many people, dang, so many smart people. Have a great day, and stuff, bye. [13:13] oh really? [13:13] helper, u can create ur own /etc/inittab [13:13] wow linux is so new to me lol [13:13] helper, or not. There is no inittab. So, I'll stick with running the runlevel program as an answer. [13:13] gnr, but you can get your OS to set the MAC address everytime it boots [13:13] i havent tinkered with runlevels in a while [13:13] kalmi I can see network icon [13:13] murad, right click->edit [13:13] Severian ah i see , seems the /etc/inittab for fedora maybe [13:14] helper, or do sudo telinit 3 to be at runlevel 3 [13:14] nah, ubuntu is just innovative [13:14] a lot of other distros still use it [13:14] Kalmi: man 5 interfaces -> hwaddress maybe? [13:14] nothing wrong with either way, really [13:14] alexb92: Hmmm. Besides stopping ipmasq, I'm not sure how I could help you further. The problem's been reported here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/udev/+bug/315370 [13:14] :) [13:14] canton, ubuntu is using networkmanager by default.... it has a nice gui... newbies should use that [13:15] Malicia when i shutdown the pc , it do restart does this make with runlevel? [13:15] murad, then select that lonely wire connection and click edit [13:15] Malicia: the concept of runlevels does not really apply in ubuntu - see !upstart [13:15] Malicia of bios ? [13:15] Kalmi: not permanent, there's no way unless for some old intel nic, or if you desolder and write using eeprom. If your permanent understanding is by doing at OS boot scripts.. then go on [13:15] redhat uses more runlevels, so it seems natural that their users are more likely to change that. So, they make the configuration a little easier. [13:15] gnr, yeah... that's what I call permanent... and that seems permanent enough :) [13:15] alexb92: I would suggest a reinstall if your system is not mission-critical. [13:15] hamza: hmmso how come init.d doesnt exist? it used to before i upgraded [13:16] Hamza, it didnt help,fonts are the same. [13:16] alexb02: init.d doesn't exist? [13:16] guntbert, how ? [13:16] Hamza, a mission critival system without internet connection sounds funny :) [13:16] hamza: problem is though ive installed a hell of alot of packages which i dont want to lose [13:16] !upstart | Malicia [13:16] Malicia: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model.

[13:16] gnr, Kalmi, look at a program called macchanger. You can set it up to give you a random mac address every time you boot. [13:16] not if it's mission is to be isolated from the rest of the world [13:16] de [13:16] Is there any way I can get ubuntu to show what it's doing at boot, instead of just the splash screen bar, it did it way back on dapper drake, but I can't seem to do it on Jaunty [13:16] hamza: inet.d exists however [13:16] <[ifroog]> !photosmart [13:16] alexb92 lookin: /etc/init.d [13:16] Sorry, I don't know anything about photosmart [13:16] search ubuntu10 [13:17] <[ifroog]> !hp [13:17] Sorry, I don't know anything about hp [13:17] guntbert, ubottu ok, I'm not well awake yet, :p [13:17] srry inet misread [13:17] forceflow, mixxx was exactly what I searched for! thx dude!! [13:17] [ifroog]: you can play with the bot in a /query [13:17] Randomtime, uslpash is the name of the splash [13:17] so so [13:17] alexb92: I'm reasonably certain that you're dealing with a botched upgrade. [13:17] btw sysV was a nice thing ;p [13:17] Kalmi:You don't have to say it's wrong. Just add that you can do it "permanently" by adding it to boot script... daa.... you're confusing the questioner... [13:17] Kalmi: :) [13:17] <[ifroog]> hoohaah, Not, Playing. Just couple of queries. [13:17] im not speking englich [13:17] howdy folks [13:17] hamza: yep im in there now what do i look for? [13:18] Canonical is working on completely changing the init stuff. There are good reasons to do this, so read about it if you are interested. [13:18] adac: no problem! [13:18] ubuntu [13:18] Malicia when i do , telinit 0 or shutdown -h 0 , system reboot instead of shutdown [13:18] I'm running Jaunty on an ancient IBM laptop with an Intel chipset, and I see lots of errors in rendering: in particular, fonts are covered in little black rectangles. It seems to get worse with time. Switching off acceleration fixes it. Sound familiar to anyone? [13:18] hamza: i thought so, but i thought it would have been all fixed when i went and did system recovery [13:18] there is nothing called lonely wire connection only 1 option "edit wireless connection" [13:18] my ubuntu no sound [13:18] does anyone know how to make tracker index multiple hard drives?

My bet is that your networking subsystem's been corrupted because of the upgrade. I'd recommend a reinstall. [13:26] Cheerio! [13:27] alexb92, what? [13:27] hamza: tthe last thing that was processed says starting ntp server ntpd ... done [13:27] alexb92, lspci? [13:27] hamza; theres just a flashing box [13:27] Does anybody here have any experience or knowledge about driver compiling? [13:27] alexb92: What happens when you type lspci and press enter? [13:27] hi, i'm having trouble with my desktop background on ubuntu. i can set it fine but when i restart it goes back to default. when i go to change it again it suddenly 'appears'.??? [13:27] Zappza, why do you need to compile drivers? [13:28] hamza: ispci : command not found [13:28] who says to me how i can put proxy on konversation or on pidgin [13:28] ?

[13:29] benalia [13:29] is it possible to permanently gain root access to a directory like /usr/share/ or is it built into linux that you can't have access to them? [13:29] Hamza, he typed i instead of l [13:29] oh right [13:29] Malicia so ? [13:29] I'm having trouble with nm-applet. It doesn't launch a window. The relevant portion of the strace output is here: http://pastebin.com/ddf1cb61 [13:29] Malicia i told u output : N 2 [13:29] laurent ? === edson is now known as puzzle [13:29] someone [13:29] helper, I don't know why , sorry [13:29] ? [13:29] Fzang, you probably don't really want permanent access. [13:29] Fzang, and there would be different ways to do it, depending. [13:30] I don't want? Why? Dangerous? [13:30] hamza: ohk sorry about that [13:30] helper, and what about if u do halt [13:30] does anyone know how i can make my desktop picture stay that way after restarting? === hell_ is now known as hellues [13:30] hamza: sorry about that, a bunch of info is now on screen [13:31] Fzang, well, I've been using linux for a decade now, and have never needed to change permissions on the stuff set up by the filesystem. It's not radically dangerous, but it does make it easy to hork your system. [13:31] history [13:31] xenocrates, that would depend on the window manager. [13:31] can somebody recommend to me an esata RAID 1 controller for two 500 mb external HDDs that is compatible with linux? and also, how do I configure such a device, does it even need configuring? [13:31] alexb92, LSPCI (lowercase) [13:31] I'll just leave the thought and sudo my way out then :) [13:31] hiiiiiiiiiiiiiii [13:32] Fzang, if you do find yourself needing to do this over and over, well, changing it just on /usr/share/whichever-application is a better idea than all of /usr/share [13:32] kalmi: thanks, i know ive already done that and info is now on the screen === hell_ is now known as hellues [13:33] helper, could u paste what says : ls -al /etc/rc0.d/K45named [13:33] Wow, it seems like xchat has stolen all focus, I can't click anywhere outside it. [13:33] Can someone please tell me how when I am connected to a remote system via ssh I can run a program that will appear on the remote display? [13:34] yo [13:34] Malicia no such file like this [13:34] bye [13:34] helper, so : ls -al /etc/rc0.d/ [13:34] what does it says? [13:34] @Kalmi - Because I need to use a wireless usb stick, and the drivers (rt2870) aren't supported. [13:36] Zappza, where did you get stuck? [13:36] Malicia http://pastebin.com/m7c2d53dd [13:36] hamza: what do i do now? [13:37] m1dn1ght: where X based app are displayed depends on the DISPLAY shell variable.... try "export DISPLAY=:0.0 ; xterm" when you are ssh'd in from another system [13:37] anybody know if it's any problem with acer travelmate 7530 and ubuntu jaunty? [13:38] hamza: i have an idea. i have a wireless adaptor, should i plug that in and run aptget and fix up everything? [13:38] helper, what does it say : cat ../init.d/halt [13:38] Ranakah: boot the live cd and see if it works.. if it does there then you should be fine.

[13:40] Malicia http://pastebin.com/m14478417 [13:40] Jaunty recognises my several ntfs & fat32 partitions and mounts them when clicked in nautilus. How can I make them mount automatically at boot up? [13:40] helper, if I don't answer u it's because I went have some lunch, so ask other people here ;) [13:40] flintwingel: thanks for the help [13:40] !mount > JoTraGo [13:40] JoTraGo, please see my private message [13:41] Hi guys, I'm looking to install 9.04 on my laptop. Now it has a Broadcom 4311BG wireless card. On the compatibility, one piece says the 4311 works out of the box and another says it doesn't. Is it worth risking installing it? [13:42] BretW: does it work running the live cd? [13:42] !broadcom > BretW [13:42] BretW, please see my private message [13:43] That's what I was going to test, but I don't seem to be able to find a CD at the moment to burn it onto, plus scunizi that link you just sent me doesn't have 9.04 on it [13:43] BretW: probably similar enough.. but really the first test is the live cd. [13:44] hello [13:44] yo [13:44] got a small problem with X11 and nvidia graphic card on a laptop [13:44] !ask [13:44] 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. :-) [13:45] <.< [13:45] i want to make an external CRT display my main display. Unfortunately, the CRT display has a resolution of 640*480 [13:45] !specific [13:45] Sorry, I don't know anything about specific [13:45] How is the open source ATI driver is doing? any rumors? [13:45] nicklas : I know :) it was to explain the environment :) [13:45] Chryzo: lol [13:46] Chryzo: if you've enabled the nvidia driver in system/admin/hardware drivers .. then install nvidia-settings and run it.. [13:46] if you want specific, how do I get my CRT display to be 1280*1024 instead of 640*480 [13:46] scunizi: It is in nvidia settings that I can't configure the CRT with a larger resolution [13:47] Chryzo: you set it up in nvidia x server settings? [13:47] BretW, here's a link with all the Ubuntu iso -- for torrents http://torrent.ubuntu.com:6969/ [13:47] I've got the ISO, mrwes :) [13:47] ahh...k [13:47] well, no, I installed the nvidia drivers and nvidia settings, then the problem appeared, and I have been trying to solve it through nvidia-settings for the past hour ... [13:47] but searching on the web in a 640*480 resolution ain't easy :) [13:48] nvidia-settings doesn't allow me to increase the resolution of the CRT [13:48] Chryzo: you have two monitors on the list and can change between them? [13:48] Yes I can do that [13:48] Chryzo: hmm ok [13:48] hmm [13:48] I also configured the CRT to be the main [13:48] and the Laptop's to be disabled [13:49] (the laptop screen has one of the color that died) [13:49] hi [13:49] Chryzo: are there only one resolution availalbe? [13:49] nope, 2 for the CRT, 640*480 and 320*240 [13:49] Chryzo: run nvidia-settings with sudo from cli and then have it change/save xorg.conf while the wrong resolution is displayed on the crt. next open /etc/X11/xorg.conf and fine the line listing the 640 rez and change it. [13:50] Chryzo: but if you try aout, what happens then? [13:50] Is there something wrong with the apt servers? because i don't have any updates since two weeks [13:51] awef: It's cos jaunty is awesome [13:51] hamza: thank you very very much for all of your help, its getting late here so i must go but i think i will just wait for 9.10 and that should fix up everything [13:51] thanks everyone [13:51] awef: And they've not needed to update anything... [13:51] bye :) [13:51] nicklas/scunizi: am gonna try that, be back after :) [13:51] and by the way, how do i restart Xorg?

[14:08] k...lemme look [14:09] craigbass1976: iwlist [14:09] ok [14:09] tones: it's not a bug in flash, it used to run perfectly [14:09] craigbass1976, try "iwlist scan" [14:09] craigbass1976: iwlist ath0 ap [14:09] tones: what about in anything else? the sound is out of sync even when i click buttons [14:09] * xray7224 thinks tones is just showing off now :D [14:10] * tones thinks xray7224 is also showing off now :P [14:10] rob0917: running any os directly from a usb stick is typically slower then a direct install.. also if you want to try ubuntu without getting rid of your widows install, you can run the live cd. or install virtualbox or do a dual boot [14:10] helper: is this an Wubi install via Windows? [14:10] maybe :D [14:10] what is the go with virus protection when it comes to linux? do you still run a program such as AVG? [14:10] mrwes, yes [14:10] tones, ath0 doesn't exist [14:10] JoeySpaz: driver bug? which then rules me out completely.. [14:10] ok was just wondering [14:10] xenocrates: nope.. [14:10] I've got loopback and eth0 [14:10] craigbass1976, just do "iwlist scan" [14:10] Helper: did you actually make a /home partition? [14:10] I don't see it [14:10] tones: what makes it different from hardy? [14:10] craigbass1976: so your atheros card isnt even detected then? [14:10] craigbass1976, do "ifconfig ath0 up" [14:10] xray7224, right, but lo and eth0 don't support scanning [14:10] xenocrates: well, there is clamav and rootkit-detectors, but normaly you dont need it... [14:10] Why does the system monitor tool show I only have 2.9 GiB RAM in the status bar, but I actually have 4GiB RAM? [14:10] mrwes, no i want to do now so i can set up the quota [14:11] xenocrates: not needed unless you're just a really nice person and want to protect your friends windows installs [14:11] JoeySpaz: were you using the same kernel in hardy? if not, that might be why.. [14:11] craigbass1976, i know that lo = 127.0.0.1 and eth0 is ethernet [14:11] Jack8899-2: you ahve 32bit version installed and a big-memory graphixscard? [14:11] tones: i dunno, i just installed from the cd inage [14:11] salut [14:11] *image [14:11] helper, well I've never used quotas, but you can't mount a /home partition if it doesn't exsist [14:11] xray7224, nope, no such device. Hang on, I'll google some more [14:11] craigbass1976, sounds like hardy doesnt have your drivers [14:11] mrwes, there is /home [14:11] JoeySpaz: then its probably that the new drivers think badly of your hardware [14:12] lol nah i'm not that nice [14:12] xray7224, it says it did, and is using them [14:12] s.v.p je veux installer compiz esque vous pouvez m'aider [14:12] nibbler: i have 64bit installed [14:12] tones: the hardware drivers section in the settings menu is empty [14:12] craigbass1976, ether complie the latest kernel *.29 or upgrade to a later ubuntu [14:12] i can't believe it! i'm relatively new to linux, have played over the years with redhat and mandrake but omfg i want ubuntu to have my children [14:12] craigbass1976, apt might not like you compling your own kernel so you might be best off updating [14:12] WHY are people still using windows...FUCK! [14:13] JoeySpaz: menu? section? im lost already [14:13] xenocrates, watch the language [14:13] xenocrates, hey, you're going to get the boot swearing [14:13] sorry :/ [14:13] !ohmy [14:13] is there any tool for non destructive conversion of ext3 to ext4? [14:13] Please remember that all Ubuntu IRC channels share the same attitude of providing friendly and polite interaction with all users of all ages and cultures. Basically, this means no foul language and no abuse towards others. [14:13] Hi all how do i know if JRE is installed [14:13] helper: you may be mixing up directories and partitions... a partition is a dedicated section of the disk [14:13] over excited :P [14:13] xenocrates: reading that message though, with good reason [14:13] xenocrates: windows Just Works™ [14:14] please how can i instal compiz [14:14] tones: the menu System > Administration > Hardware Drivers [14:14] flintwingel, oups ! , hrm problem, if i want to re-install it , how i can parition it ? [14:14] hehe the bots funky :D [14:14] helper: by default the ubuntu installer creates a single partition and put sthe /home directory and the same partition as everything else [14:14] I was in a linux chat last night and someone was complaining for being booted here. I guess he said the acronym for what the intercourse. [14:14] Hi all, how do i know if JRE is installed? [14:14] aviator: try Synaptic, and don't forget to install plugins [14:14] JoeySpaz: i dived right into command line as soon as i got ubuntu, so im not too familiar with much of gnome and any of anything else [14:14] hi everyone [14:14] flintwingel, why then not found /home partition here [14:14] hi n3f [14:14] helper: you can choose manual partitioning during install [14:14] craigbass1976, most likely [14:14] trancefat: run 'java' in terminal and see what's happens [14:14] flintwingel, i can't use fdisk now ? [14:15] tones: is there a command to change the sound buffer length? [14:15] just installed jaunty.. [14:15] having problems with compiz fusion.. [14:15] xray7224, to bad. I'm guessing he was warned a coupld times first [14:15] #ubuntu fr [14:15] i don't have problem with it using 8.05 [14:15] Lint01: ok it tells me how to install Java [14:15] JoeySpaz: run "lsmod | grep snd" and find a sound driver name in the modules.. maybe that will help you on your journey [14:15] i don't have problem with it using 8.04 [14:15] JoeySpaz: depends on the driver [14:15] #ubuntu.fr [14:15] trancefat: so JRE is absent then [14:15] helper~: you can't use fdisk on the disk you're booted from [14:16] !enter | n3f [14:16] n3f: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!

[14:16] craigbass1976, probabaly i run my own irc channel and its hard to deal with peopel who refuse to follow the rules and mines a small channel i cant even imagen what a pain people are in a channel the size of this [14:16] sorry.. Can someone please help me installing compiz fusion in jaunty? [14:16] JoeySpaz: should have pastebinned that, but lookes like youre using the intel ac97 or something along those lines [14:17] helper: do have any unused space on your disk (not allocated to a partition) or do you have another disk? [14:17] trancefat: eclipse should install some JRE, look in synaptic for latest, 1.6 [14:17] n3f- install your graphics driver 1rst [14:17] flintwingel, yes i have unused space on my disk [14:17] tones: I am using realtek AC97 onboard audio that came wiv my computer [14:17] Lint01: ok [14:17] hi. I am having trouble mounting a cf card. fdisk reports that it has a Linux (83) FS when it is FAT32. Gparted sees it as FAT32 correctly. I can't automount it but can manually. Any ideas, please [14:17] Xcell: i'm using laptop.. don't have graphics driver.. [14:17] JoeySpaz: take that and look around, my motto is: Google is your freind :) [14:18] then go to sys / prefs / appearance / visual effects.. [14:18] Lint01: which shud i take there are many [14:18] helper: sorry to ask again... but are you sure that spave is not allocated to a partition [14:18] Xcell: I have googled already, seems like almost everyone is having same problem with jaunty.. [14:18] JoeySpaz: i think people here are more good with broader ubuntu problems, not hardware specific ones [14:18] flintwingel, yes another HDD [14:18] oh [14:18] ok [14:19] is it a netbook? [14:19] helper: ok - good, you can create a partition on the second HD and move your home folder to it [14:19] trancefat: there shoudn't be many [14:19] Lint01: can i not get a folder of JRE from somewhere so that i can put it inside the Eclipse folder [14:19] tones: what should I do then? [14:19] Lint01: i had done that in the passt [14:19] flintwingel, what do i type ? fdisk -s /home ? i don't know [14:19] JoeySpaz: Google is your freind :) [14:19] Xcell: Yes, notebook. "Desktop effects could not be enabled"... [14:20] JoeySpaz: surf the forums [14:20] tones: i tried google but it just came up with movie based stuff 0.o [14:20] hi. I am having trouble mounting a cf card in a USB card reader. fdisk reports that it has a Linux (83) FS when it is FAT32. Gparted sees it as FAT32 correctly. I can't automount it but can manually. Any ideas, please [14:20] then youll have to google your graphics and see if they are supported.. [14:20] n3f: is there a driver available to load in System/Admin/Hardware drivers? [14:20] JoeySpaz: look for alternative drivers for your hardware, that might fix it [14:20] anyone use Pidgin [14:20] scunizi: No... [14:20] n3f: your card has to have 3d rendering [14:20] n3f: what kind of video card [14:20] tones: where can i find them and how do i install them? [14:21] thevdi, try doing sudo mount -t vfat /dev/ [14:21] helper: I must warn you that experimenting with disk & partitions is a dangerous thing to do and you could quite easily lose data or make your system unusable... do you want to go on? [14:21] xray7224, I did. It works. But it won't automount [14:21] scunizi: How to find what video card I am using? [14:21] thevdi: u can change the system id of ur disk using fdisk [14:21] helper: have you got a backup of your data? [14:21] n3f: lspci | grep vga [14:21] thiebaude: I got no problem with compiz using 8.04 [14:22] flintwingel, ofcourse i do, i want to mount on second harddisk as you told me ok [14:22] n3f: oh, ok [14:22] fornix_ but why does fdisk and gparted see the disk differently? [14:22] JoeySpaz: again, google is your freind :), should be either a simple .deb file (use dpkg -i ) or the routine "./configure, make, make install" of .tar.gz files [14:22] JoeySpaz: try http://www.dvhardware.net/software/1665 [14:22] scunizi: what am I going to do with that?.. [14:22] helper: are your disks IDE or SATA? [14:22] thevdi: u can change the system id of ur disk using fdisk [14:22] n3f: go to applications/accessories/terminal and type it in there. [14:22] does ubuntu have a built-in firewall? [14:23] salut a tous [14:23] Hello, I would like to know how to remove synaptic and re install it? Thank you. [14:23] flintwingel, IDE hda [14:23] fornix yeah, but why would fdisk report differently from gparted? [14:23] Kiy: ufw [14:23] i.e. Is there a bug ?

The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Uncomplicated_Firewall_ufw), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI applications such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist [14:23] thevdi: probably in the partition table its marked as linux [14:23] !security | Kiy [14:23] Kiy: Security Updates are dealt with here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Security - See also !root, !firewall and !server [14:24] thevdi: what does blkid report?

[14:24] thank you [14:24] helper: linux calls the master disk on the first IDE channel hda, the slave hdb, the master on the second channel hdc and the slave hdd... where is your second disk?

[14:31] sigh ubuntu people are fucking useless [14:31] slackware here i come! [14:31] helper: if you just type "p" and return what does it say? [14:31] Darrin: 3/4 are away, 1/4 of the rest bots, 1/2 of the rest just script kiddies hanging about and the rest are us :) [14:31] Linux is just plain pain in the ass. I have been trying to get it working for three months now. [14:31] Myrtti, it is executable [14:31] no it displays sg3, and i get the same while i do dmesg [14:31] Darrin: beats windows......

[14:32] n3f: ok.. in that same file if you look toward the top you'll see a line that tells you how to reconfigure the driver or "X".. something like .. dpkg yada yada .. write that down.. also the other thing you can try is rebooting and choosing the recover kernel. When that starts it will have a menu with an option to reconfigure your driver. Most likely what's happened is ubuntu had an issue recognizing your card for whatever reason and ins [14:32] no it does not. I hate windows more than most. And this linux s h i t is not helping [14:32] Darrin: what's the *real* problem you're having though, I have high suspicions it's not really synaptic that's the problem [14:32] !language | Darrin [14:32] Darrin: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.

So now I have to spen hours trying to figure out how to do a bug report. But it still does not solve a problem.

[14:36] !rootshell | Aliasa [14:36] Aliasa: Using !sudo with single commands is preferable in most circumstances. However, if you really need a root shell, use « sudo -i » (other variants of this commands are redundant and/or potentially dangerous) [14:36] helper: now you need to format the partition with "mkfs -t ext3 /dev/hdb1" [14:37] scunizi: OKay I will reboot now.. brb.....

[14:53] is what i get when installing nv drivers [14:53] erUSUL, thats not very helpful [14:53] erUSUL, I'm in a slight hurry (have to be headin' to church), so I wont bother to copy on flash drive. What in particular can I read off to you? [14:53] hi [14:53] Myrtti, i boot from cd installing not windows, i reboot and install from cd but hope it will do a /home partition so i can do quota afraid not to create a /home file parition [14:53] testing [14:53] bob1: but its all i know about the ppc port of ubuntu [14:54] erUSUL, I'm not about the powerpc release, I'm on about the specific PS3 release [14:54] mac9416: the line obut the windows partition you want to boot [14:54] n3f: although it suggests a work-a-round I don't recommend it because it disables too many other things... you can read the info at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130582&highlight=intel+GM965 [14:54] LuciusMare: What is the specs of your beat-up notebook?

[14:55] http://paste.ubuntu.com/184982/ this is what my xorg.conf looks like, no reference to nvidia there :/ [14:55] hey`: haha, that will be why then [14:55] erUSUL: "/dev/sda6 * 4505 8417 31431141 7 HPFS/NTFS" [14:56] =/ without using fstab, is there any way at all I can invoke mount such that I can mount an xfs partition where unprivileged user accounts can write to it? [14:56] for some reason when I access my apache on localhost it still pipes it through the internet according to my gKrellM iface graphs. Its dog slow too so that makes sense, what would cause this? [14:56] n3f: so without doing the "fix" your options are .. stay with what you have and not use fancy graphics, reinstall with Intrepid 8.10, or do the patch.. personally I'd use it as is until the next release or reinstall with intrepid or hardy [14:57] tones man, vlc player doesn't work for .amr file, and the same with totem.... totem says "Could not determine type of stream" [14:57] wait,can xubuntu run kde applications?

[14:57] damn :) [14:57] erUSUL, the * tells me it's bootable, and the HPFS/NTFS tells me it's the XP partition. [14:57] I'll pass it again from the usb. [14:58] hey`: ok [14:58] n3f: if you have a seperate /home it's pretty easy with a reinstall.

[14:59] LuciusMare: Your laptop is a weak. I personally would install Minimal.iso / Server.iso and install text-based applications. Avoid the GUI. :) [14:59] Can Ubuntu install into EXT4? [14:59] erUSUL, i know but what the meant of it ! if i change what will happen for this process? [14:59] sere,testing [14:59] my uncle is gonna kill me.

[15:01] Kalmi_: i know... :) [15:01] LuciusMare: lynx is more common for web, and bitchx for irc [15:01] The evtouch driver crashes and the eGalax touch driver results in double clicks (but otherwise works) [15:01] mh sucks.

[15:23] thanks erUSUL - is that the only way? is there no x-org thing for it? [15:23] probably not [15:23] i could install it virtually [15:23] LuciusMare: chances are if it won't boot from USB it won't boot from network [15:24] ManDay: most xorg drivers support randr [15:24] gordonjcp: it CAN NOT boot from usb but it CAN boot from network [15:24] hi [15:24] LuciusMare: okay [15:24] hm i thought there would be a xorg-command for it [15:24] thanks erUSUL [15:24] LuciusMare: removing the drive and temporarily fitting it to another machine is probably least hassle for "difficult" hardware [15:24] Kalmi_: yes it did, you recommended me to isntall new drivers when i told you my soundwas out of sync, and after navingating through realtek's web of shit and 404 errors, i finally managed to come across something, then when i followed the instructiopns, i got4753465984327568392459 permission denied errors, and when I used sudo, I got just as many no such file or directory errors - it uninstalled my old drivers and then fucked up [15:25] gordonjcp: yes,but this is notebook [15:25] it is hard to change harddisks [15:25] LuciusMare: and? [15:25] not really [15:25] you just need a 44-to-40 pin adaptor [15:25] LuciusMare, this tutorial seems ok: http://hugi.to/blog/archive/2006/12/23/ubuntu-pxe-install-via-windows [15:25] unless it's SATA in which case the connectors are identical [15:25] LuciusMare, changing hard disk is not hard...

[15:53] zortec: that is tyypically the case.. however your issue is different [15:53] zortec: did you manage to install it on another machine? Did you try elgar's suggestion? [15:53] i have all sata w/ no probs [15:53] Can I use the workaround on the alternate CD? [15:53] Or do I have to burn another CD? [15:54] zortec, you'll have to use google to see if you can add kernel params on the alt installer, I dont think you can though [15:54] zortec: I don't know.. you'll have to boot it and see if there is an option to make the change on the kernel line.. [15:54] zortec, what happened to the old CD? [15:54] I've only ever seen it done with the live cd [15:54] is it possible to enter commandline with the netboot image? [15:54] to mount my installed ubuntu partition [15:54] Choco: I burned over it. [15:54] zortec: you're in the spotlight ;) [15:54] and reinstall grub [15:54] That was to Bob. [15:54] Because I couldn't get the live cd to work, so I said screw it [15:54] newbie needs help: My sound was working fine for quite some time. All of a sudden I can only hear the faintest noise when my speakers are at max volume. I've checked my volume levels and everything looks fine. I've rebooted and the problem did not resolve. [15:54] and opted for the alternate installer which I can't get working either. [15:55] zortec: do you have another Ubuntu installation from where you could create a bootable USB image? [15:55] phrizzledizzle, I had that problem, my cable was screwed, just a though :) [15:55] *thought [15:55] phrizzledizzle: did you check all volume controls? [15:55] * DIL forrizzle [15:55] Is a network install an option? Can that at least get me bootable? [15:55] I read about that alternative too. [15:55] elgar: thank you, but I've unplugged the speakers and the internal speakers aren't outputting either [15:56] Hi, i have the following X11 config file: http://pastealacon.com/3118, unfortunately I am still unable to get my screen to have a higher resolution that 800*600 [15:56] any idea why ? [15:56] zortec: if you have a cable connection, then a network install should be easy [15:56] I fear I'll run into the same problem with the SATA drive [15:56] *wired [15:56] Chryzo: pastebin you /var/log/Xorg.0.log [15:56] !pastebin | Chryzo [15:56] zortec, the kernel parameter will bypass the sata issue [15:56] Chryzo: 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) [15:56] zortec, I wonder that too, can you enter commandline with netboot image? [15:56] choco: I have an adsl connection [15:56] zortec: you will.. just use the live cd [15:57] Slart, gimme a minute :) [15:57] What is the difference in the live cd and alternate cd? [15:57] chocobanana: my master, headphone, pcm, and pc speaker volume levels are all at max and not muted === Guest32594 is now known as Sw [15:57] My head is spinning guys from all this. [15:57] I just want to get my system up and running with ubuntu. [15:57] zortec, for one the alt cd is text based, while the live cd is a gui [15:57] zortec: the live cd is one.. the alternate isn't =) [15:57] zortec: the live cd will allow you to make the kernel line change you need to get the system booted to a desktop so you can install. [15:58] I've mounted a SSH/SFTP location in nautilus and now I'm trying to edit something through gedit. Normally this works but for this particular mount everything opens in readonly mode. I definitely have write access (as I'm logged in remotely as root)... Any ideas? [15:58] I'll burn another live cd then on a different media [15:58] here is the log: http://pastealacon.com/3119 [15:58] zortec, get the live cd, add the kernel parameter by pressing f6 at the first screen, then it will work fine./ [15:58] Can you give me the kernel param I need to add again? [15:59] Anyone managed to get a black ipod classic to work in Hipo? It is complaining: 'Icon 'multimedia-player-ipod-classic-black' not present in theme' [15:59] zortec, > https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/209454/comments/28 [15:59] phrizzledizzle: did you check the actual application volume levels? [15:59] my gnome session has stopped working. something with the startup scripts maybe. no panel or anything else. But failsafe gnome is working fine. what should i do? [15:59] dimebar: it means theres no icon to display for a ipod in your theme..choose another theme [16:00] hi. When in a terminal looking at top how can I tell what program/s is sucking up my memory? [16:00] list [16:00] #list [16:00] [daily post] does anyone have jscal working under 9.04? it works fine under 8.10 but seems to have no effect under 9.04. [16:00] shadeslayer: yeah - tried default gnome theme, tango, human - none work. [16:00] Chryzo: it seems X can't talk to your monitor to find out what frequencies it supports... so it uses some very safe defaults.. you can input those in your xorg.conf ... search the net for your monitor specs or take a wild guess depending on what kind of monitor it is [16:01] choco: yes. Its doing it across all applications.

[16:03] shadeslayer: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hipo/+bug/318185 it is that; not a problem with my themes (which are just teh defaults) [16:03] Aliasa: www.kernel.org [16:03] Slart: it is an old 17 inches CRT :) [16:03] choco: it appears that everything is set to autodetect... I believe thats what you're asking about [16:03] can i change the kernel source code? :D [16:03] thanks for the info [16:03] Aliasa: it is the components that form the Ubuntu distribution that are open source. You can go to each component project website and download the source to view or change it [16:03] Aliasa: why not...? [16:04] phrizzledizzle: and the Default Mixer Tracks on that screen? [16:04] Chryzo: in the Monitor section, add "HorizSync 30-80" and "VertRefresh 55-75", then try restarting X [16:04] i must leanr a lor about linux.:S [16:04] dimebar: bah...easiest fix is to copy the theme ipod icon and rename it to that :) [16:04] Aliasa: follow the certification manuals for the distro of your choice === puzzle is now known as edson [16:04] Aliasa: The Free Software Foundation's website has a lot of information about the principles behind free and open-source software.

Best thing to do is use super grub disk to fix it up [16:25] can ubuntu use debian packages? [16:26] kornerr: generally speaking.. no [16:26] kornerr: it is *strongly* unrecommended (so no) [16:26] please give me a link saying so [16:26] !debian | kornerr [16:26] kornerr: Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu! [16:26] lol [16:26] Newmilpan, if you want to actually boot off the Flash drive (ie use BIOS, or an F10) then Grub Needs to be installed onto the flashdrive itself - which is an option during install (but not a default) --- then you may also run into problems of grub having the wrong address for the drive, once you boot off of a device i think it will become (0,0) to grub - so manual configuration MAY be required. Best of luck. [16:26] kornerr: some but there are no guarantees.. look in System/Admin/Synaptic package manager to see if the prog. you want is there [16:26] hi, I was trying to upgrade my ubuntu 8,10 to the latest one but i received a warning stating that 9.10 does not bring any fglrx driver.. can you confirm this?

[16:27] google doesn't give me any info like that either [16:27] vinc: then yes, AMD has dropped support for that card in the latest -fglrx version (the one in 9.04) but the open source -ati driver supports that card [16:28] Does the open source ATI driver have 3D support yet? [16:28] kornerr: "Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu!" [16:28] kornerr: depending on the program/package there can be differences [16:28] ziroday, thanks, then i'll mange to compile the old ati driver on my own [16:28] I want the docs please :) [16:28] Bob_Dole: not really [16:28] Bob_Dole: depends on what card [16:28] what is the best torrent client for linux??

[16:31] hello, i need some help i installed 3 packages today and they have messed up some config files for my websites, i was woundering if there is a command to roll back to yesterdays settings [16:32] vinc: the open source driver (-ati) has accelerated 3D support for the X1300 for quite a while now [16:32] Guest: I may be wrong, but can't you just uninstall the packages and all their dependencies in synaptic? [16:32] ziroday: its poor 3D support [16:32] Guest77419: you must understand your config files so tyou could revert them back yourself [16:32] i wouldnt know as i am new to ubuntu :( [16:32] ziroday, then i'll give it a try. will the free driver be installed out of the box, after upgrading / installing jaunty? [16:32] Guest77419, ubuntu/linux doesn't have a "System Restore" feature like Windows. Sorry for the bad news. [16:32] shiznebit: poor? [16:32] ziroday: not full 3D support [16:32] hmm [16:32] vinc: yes, it should switch you over automagicaclly [16:33] System Restore... that would be an interesting feature for linux, heh. [16:33] on ubuntu is there any program which i can do sql on? [16:33] shiznebit: no. The -ati driver has full accelerated 3D support for the ATi X1300 [16:33] fixed amarok problems by adding libxine1-ffmpeg package [16:33] since when ? [16:33] thanks to #amarok [16:33] nightdrever: for mySQL? [16:33] nightdrever: connecting to mysql or postgresql? [16:33] night: Check out LAMP. [16:33] nightdrever: try postgreSQL [16:34] ziroday: is there a way to use super grub disk in LiveCD? [16:34] Newmilpan: no, its a new disc you need to burn [16:34] its just i have to learn sql in UNI use microsoft access there [16:34] but i have ubuntu is there a program i can use here to practise? [16:34] ziroday: that sucks, I only have 1 dvd drive, and it's running liveCD lol [16:34] Newmilpan: well you can download and burn the cd in windows etc [16:35] ziroday: link would be nice, where i got my info from: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver [16:35] ziroday: I can't get into windows, i get grub error 21 [16:35] nightdrever, if you need to connect to a dbms to issue some query you can use squirrel, you just need the appropriate jdbc driver [16:35] !grub | Newmilpan [16:35] Newmilpan: 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 [16:35] This is like a random question, but anyone know like the percentage of users that are on Linux? I'm interested to know the stats [16:35] my gnome session is not working, and there is no sound in failsafe gnome. what could be wrong? [16:35] Newmilpan: okay, plan two is to reinstall grub using the livecd. Follow the first link ubottu has given you [16:35] ziroday: thanks [16:35] Can you set up encrypted LVM manually (not using guided partitioning) during install? I want to do EXT4 on an encrypted LVM. [16:36] nightdrever: if you are looking for an 'access' type of interface use openoffce dbase and load the jdbc driver app for your database [16:36] Also on the ubuntu forums, I noticed ubuntu #10000, how do you sign up for that? [16:36] zortec: link? [16:36] It keeps track of all the users who are on ubuntu. [16:36] zortec, I'd ask that in offtopic, but it's like 2% or something - but these sorts of numbers are always "guesses" [16:36] ziroday: I'm asking for the link if you know it. [16:36] zortec: that's hard to compute because linux distros are freely available with no retail tracking [16:36] when you create a share using the gnome gui (right click "sharing) where does it save the sharing config? it doesn't seem to appear in the samba config files? [16:36] zortec: no as in where are you reading this [16:36] guys heres the thing i recently changed the setting to log me in automatically but now whenever i use lock screen i cant type anything [16:37] It is on the forum though, people have a # next to their ubuntu name [16:37] So like I might be ubuntu user #20105 [16:37] shiznebit: read http://www.x.org/wiki/radeon [16:37] mr_step: are they in in 'Network shares' applet? [16:37] zortec: http://ubuntucounter.geekosophical.net/index.php but its nothing official [16:37] It's a tracking system. I just wanted to find out if I can get on it. [16:37] having a problem trying to load Ubuntu from CD on a Dell. XP keeps loading. Seems the CD rom is set to go on after the boot up [16:37] ziro: Ah, thanks. :) [16:37] zortec: those are people that have chosen to "register" themselves as users of ubuntu [16:37] guys heres the thing i recently changed the setting to log me in automatically but now whenever i use lock screen i cant type anything [16:38] Any help on this? [16:38] !intel [16:38] Ubuntu 9.04 has a known regression for some Intel graphics support. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/IntelPerformance and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130582 for more information. [16:38] FLJohn: you need to change a BIOS setting [16:38] FLJohn: change load order in bios [16:38] Xorg sometimes sends mouse events for compiz to the current window. Any ideas on how to fix this? [16:38] I thought I did [16:38] FLJohn, you could change the boot order in BIOS, or if you computer accepts an F10 at boot perhaps you'll get a boot chooser of some sort. good luck. [16:38] Can anyone help me with some network settings/issues?? [16:38] lint01: i can't even find the network sharing applet :S [16:38] The download is almost complete. I want to make sure this is the right ISO: ubuntu-9.04-desktop-i386.iso [16:38] So I've got an nvidia 9500GT video card, and I am using Ubuntu 9.04. I've successfully set up both of my monitors using twinview with nvidia-settings. I would like to set up my TV as well. Is the nvidia driver still limited to two displays like it used to be, or is this now possible? [16:39] FLJohn: when booting look at the screen and it will flash a couple of F numbers.. one will be for boot options.. I think F2 [16:39] zortec: that is the latest desktop/livecd correct [16:39] hi === floopsie is now known as Floops [16:39] lordnazgul: so you want the two monitors and the tv? [16:39] lordnazgul: I believe the nvidia driver can do over two monitors, but I'm not certain [16:39] lordnazgul: (give it a go) [16:39] mr_step: try grepping your home folder for files containing '[]' [16:40] ive got a little startup problem after migrating my root partition to a lvm device [16:40] Ok F10 did not work [16:40] ziroday: Radeon 7000 - X1950: *well* supported in both 2D and 3D by the free drivers (ie. Radeon driver 6.9.0 and Mesa 7.2) [16:40] I will try f2 [16:40] scunizi yep. i tried 2 x screens via xinerama and that didn't work and the two on one x screen with twin view plus the tv on another, still no luck [16:40] FLJohn: then F12 [16:40] shiznebit: yes that is correct [16:40] i created a new initrd, with dm-* modules [16:40] lint01 that's grep -r -s video ~/* right? [16:40] Is it normal in this IRC room to get random PMs from users? [16:40] and switched the uuid, given by blk_id to the new root device [16:40] zortec: no [16:40] zortec, no it shouldnt be [16:40] but trying to boot, gives me error 17, file not found [16:41] zortec, if they are anoying you can tell them here in the public channel to stop [16:41] lordnazgul: it's possible.. there's a video on youtube that makes you drool.. 6 42" monitors hooked up. Over 2 monitors and you pretty much have to build your own custom xorg.conf file. [16:41] good morning. i have two 9.04 boxes running on my lan. to tried x11vnc and gnome remote desktop, and they both are INCREDIBILY slow, almost unusable. has anybody else seen this problem? [16:41] !sound [16:41] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [16:41] the screen is 1024x768, 32 bit. [16:41] ziroday: I was saying that it isn't Fully supported. Anything well supported isn't as well as you'd hope [16:41] zortec: you shouldn't.. [16:41] He was not annoying, just had no idea what he was talking about and he was having a conversation with another user and then sent me a PM so it was just weird. [16:41] zortec, ontop of which PMs are ok but more information and more input comes about in the public channels [16:41] try grep -r -s -i '[video]' ~/* [16:42] shiznebit: err full == well [16:42] zortec: then just forget it [16:42] zortec: just ignore them. [16:42] is there any file indexer (e.g. meta tracker) which has a web based interface? [16:42] shiznebit: what exactly is your point here? [16:42] scunizi: Thanks, I'll give it a go, maybe bug the guys in #xorg for help. Everything seems like it should work with my xorg file, but who knows. [16:43] lordnazgul: also take a look at docs for randr and xrandr [16:43] ziroday: "well" in my case, was it didn't work. I have an X1300 === brembo is now known as generallee [16:44] lint01: same result :( [16:44] scunizi: This channel is great, the info comes so fast where as in the forum I have to wait for replies... which seem to take longer. [16:44] shiznebit: I am sitting right next to a machine with the X1300 currently, tested with both the radeon and radeonhd drivers (which both work). If it wasn't working on your machine it was a configuration error as the radeon drivers _definitely_ support that card [16:44] I don't know if I just have that feeling. [16:44] zortec: irc can be a drug [16:45] scunizi: So can sex but it's a good drug. :) [16:45] ziroday: you tried running Nexuiz ? [16:45] Xorg sometimes sends mouse events for compiz to the current window. Any ideas on how to fix this? [16:46] shiznebit: no, but I have played other 3D games [16:46] hi [16:46] sere: Hi! [16:46] ziroday: Nexuiz just crashes....so do alot of other games.....wait X1300 mobility or the regular X1300 ? [16:47] What is the page to check MD5 hashes? [16:47] Can I use the bot in here for info? Hmm [16:47] shiznebit: if you have compiz on turn it off [16:47] shiznebit: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc M52 [Mobility Radeon X1300] [16:47] !md5 [16:47] To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows === locke_ is now known as |_ocke [16:48] chuck: Thanks! [16:48] ziroday: well it works correctly for me with the bleeding-edge drivers. yes, i have compiz off ... [16:48] Is there a list of commands the bot accepts? [16:48] zortec: if you're trying to find information (fishing) then using the bot in PM or in #ubuntu-bots is probably best [16:48] !help | zortec [16:48] zortec: Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [16:48] ziroday: hopefully he wont have problems [16:48] !grub | Newmilpan [16:48] zortec, your welcome [16:48] Newmilpan, please see my private message [16:49] http://nopaste.org/p/aL6jndlPc, please take a look [16:49] !grub backup [16:49] Sorry, I don't know anything about grub backup === J_- is now known as J-_ [16:49] ziroday: I think i may have ground the problem.. i opened menu.lst and there was nothing in there [16:50] 20$ to whoever helps me get my wireless working...

I am trying to find where VIM is installed to set an environment variable for it [16:50] what else could be wrong [16:50] J_A_X: a model number or chipset please (if you're not sure you can pastebin the 'lspci' command) [16:51] !grub | Gamarok__ [16:51] Gamarok__: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager.

[16:52] yes but I need to find the vim directory.. its only finding the application [16:52] lordnazgul: it won't on 9.04.. ctrl+printscreen+k [16:52] How long has everyone been using Linux? There seem to be a lot of old users. [16:52] ziroday: to be honest I have no idea, I followed the instructions on restoring grub and when I opened menu.lst it was just a blank file [16:52] i want to put a syntax file in there [16:52] Newmilpan: how did you open it?

It does let me boot to the first hard disk which is Windows. [18:11] zortec: other OS which work on that machine ?

[19:42] Nrbelex, if you go to hardware testing there is somewhere in there that will play a sound [19:43] Nrbelex: u can log out and back again. u should hear the ubuntu music [19:43] or is it because i'm on a mac and no-one can help [19:43] i've installed the medibuntu repo and libdvdcss2 and libdvdread4.. i still cannot watch dvds..

A lot of talk via google and nothing in the way of a fix that I've seen. [19:47] bestcallumuk, sorry i am not real familiar with macs thought it might have been a general problem [19:47] That sounds like a console emulation problem with the virtual machine. [19:47] tannersummers: and sun-java6-plugin if you want the plugin for firefox, and sun-java6-jdk if you want to develop java apps. [19:48] guys i need to download 3 specific packages off of the ubuntu mirrors but im not sure where [19:49] I know how that goes [19:49] wigglez: http://packages.ubuntu.com [19:49] i need to download build-essential linux-kernel-headers linux-kernel-devel and put them all on flash drive [19:49] k [19:49] * BlizMare still needs help with advanced partitioning routine for Ubuntu 9.04 to get around the fakeraid issues at boot. [19:49] btw what is karmic? [19:49] is it the new ubuntu [19:49] wigglez: Ah, in that case you want to create a package download script [19:49] ciao [19:49] wigglez: It's the next version of Ubuntu that is currently in development, not released yet [19:50] nice cool === mimmo91 is now known as qwwq [19:50] geirha: yes that would be better [19:50] does anyone know if i can get a resolution larger than 1024 ? [19:50] sere: That will depend on various factors, including your video card and monitor capabilities [19:50] does anyone know if i can get a resolution larger than 1024 using tvout on my nvidia card [19:50] wigglez: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Synaptic/PackageDownloadScript [19:50] For some reason I can't switch on visual effects, after searching for drivers I get error "Desktop effects could not be enabled".

[19:51] wigglez: karmic is the release due in october. It's currently under development [19:51] cool cool [19:51] im not a daily ubuntu user, but it has come a long way since i last used it [19:51] does anyone know if i can get a resolution larger than 1024 using tvout on my nvidia card [19:51] sere depends on if its supported i would guess. [19:52] wigglez: i think it is [19:52] do exclude arguments to tar have to be arranged in alphabetical order? === yann is now known as Guest22514 [19:52] sere well if it supported by the nvidia chipset, then you should be able to use nvidia-config or something of that nature to change it [19:53] Alright, i got an old akamai server that i am wanting to atleast boot with the ubuntu live cd so i can check what all it has, its a pentium 3 processor and i get the initramfs shell whenever i boot. Any ideas? ive tried several things [19:53] wigglez: nvidia-settings it was i use and it should work but wont give me anything larger than 1024 [19:53] ah ok [19:53] hi everybody, i've just upgraded to ubuntu 9.04 (host) and have a problem with "virtualbox" and that is when the guest OS goes into full screen and the host goes into the screensaver, after getting out of the screen saver, the keyboard stops working until i get out of the guest OS; i had no problems with it when i was using ubuntu 8.1 [19:53] well im not sure then :P [19:54] im downloading at 1.5MB/s on the hospitals wifi internet lol ;s [19:54] Can I request a help slot? [19:55] hi. trying to install an icon pack in 9.04 and when I open the archive in appearance preferences, it just closes down and doesn't do anything. any thoughts? [19:55] bestcallumuk, ask away [19:55] For some reason I can't switch on visual effects, after searching for drivers I get error "Desktop effects could not be enabled". Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty) [19:55] if we can answer we will [19:56] bestcallumuk, sounds like it did not find the correct drivers [19:56] can i make it work? [19:56] how is quad core support in ubuntu? [19:57] bestcallumuk, do you know what video hardware you have? [19:57] You can force 3d depending on the vesa you're using. [19:57] Jeaton: fully supported [19:57] alo [19:57] some macbook intel gma [19:57] alo [19:57] goodbay [19:57] mica? [19:57] abla portugues [19:57] no [19:58] Jeaton: I'm running an AMD quad core and it works by default, no configuration needed, frequency governors and such all work. [19:58] I'm trying to run my sound through an MD-PORT AN1 digital to analogue converter. Under sound preferences I can hear the tone when I press "Test", but otherwise I don't hear any sound from the system. What can I do? [19:58] !portugues | mica [19:58] Sorry, I don't know anything about portugues [19:58] !pt [19:58] Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Para a comunidade local portuguêsa, #ubuntu-pt. Obrigado. [19:58] !portuguese | mica [19:58] mica: please see above [19:58] !pt | mica [19:58] mica: please see above [19:59] mmm [19:59] hah. [19:59] do you notice a big difference with the quad cores? [19:59] hi, I have a friend who keeps asking me whats the big deal about Ubuntu/Linux, and when I can't tell him he always says that Microsofts Windows is better in all ways compared to ubuntu...well I would like to know a few things that I can say so I can shut him up! Why should people have a linux version like Ubuntu?? [19:59] Hi! [19:59] Jeaton: compared to what? [19:59] bestcall, I would think xserver-xorg i810 or similar would work fine with that video setup. It might not have 3d out the box, but you can force it in your xorg.conf [19:59] possibly a dual core machine [20:00] what is the content of index.php in /var/www ? [20:00] I need to burn a GCM file (GameCube game). Someone could giove me a help? [20:00] so... would anyone know why appearance prefs just shuts down when I try and open an icon theme in it? [20:00] Is there an option to get the alternate cd installer to not download from the internet? [20:00] i don't know, im thinking about building a top of a line machine and sticking ubuntu on it [20:00] I mean the 9.04 alternate cd installer [20:00] SamWeasley: it wont work unless you have your gamecube cracked [20:01] Murre: if he thinks that, there is no logical answer [20:01] i don't know if it would be a waste when I can just use possible a dual core, and get almost about the same performance [20:01] bestcallumuk, possible help here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1131754 [20:01] mhm..maybe you are right [20:01] CarlFK > i'll use it on a modchip'ed Wii [20:01] Murre: http://www.distrowatch.com find out about distros there. http://www.linuxtoday.com read Linux articles and such [20:01] pronoy, "It Works!" [20:01] Jeaton: hmm.. haven't run a dual core in a while.. unless you count my laptop.. and that is inferior in so many ways that the number of cores don't really matter [20:01] ok hanks [20:01] *thanks [20:01] !freedom | Murre [20:01] Murre: freedom is important. Ubuntu is as free as we can make it, which means mostly free software. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/licensing [20:01] deany: lol thanks [20:01] hahaha [20:02] Alex135 > i'll use it on a modchip'ed Wii [20:02] Murre: plenty of stuff on the net, that you can read and then use [20:02] Jeaton: the difference between single core and dual core is the major leap if you ask me... 2 cores to 4 cores is just more of the same.. [20:02] SamWeasley: hmm... well burning a image, i find, works best with things like k3b but thats for KDE [20:02] i am useing a ubuntu live cd i have run on a number of other machines successfully with no scratches, and the boot fails with the error target filesystem doesn't /sbin/init and the previous mount attempts for other directories have failed and claims "no such file or directory" [20:02] im trying to run xen on jaunty (to get a grip on xen on EC2) - sudo xm create = ERROR Internal error: Could not obtain handle on privileged command interface (2 = No such file or directory) [20:02] Jeaton: I doubt I would be able to tell if the machine I was working on used dual or quad core.. without using special tools [20:02] Alex135 > I use it, but file is not .iso, is .gcm [20:03] Jeaton, with programs utilising quad-core (or multi core) CPUs, you'll notice a huge improvement. When using programs that don't utilise, they'll be just as quick as running them on a single core. [20:04] SamWeasley: its the same thing from what i have read... [20:04] Could anyone get azureus aka vuze to work on ubuntu? [20:04] Alex135> Okay, I'll give a try. I rename .gcm to .iso and I'll burn it [20:04] ok [20:04] SamWeasley: acording to what i just read, yes [20:05] Jeaton: [20:05] SamWeasley: oh before you leave, where do you find cd's/dvd's of that size? [20:05] oops, sorry [20:05] can anyone tell me what a quick and easy way is to operate ubuntu remotely (from windows) [20:05] Alex135> For Wii I know that even k3b complaining about not being a iso9660, it works properly [20:05] * Gonium is away: Ausente por el momento [20:06] Fustire: vnc is nice and supported on a lot of hardware [20:06] Alex135> Also, my k3b don't allow to burn under 4x [20:06] anyone know if the kernel-headers and kernel-devel are installed by default in 9.04? [20:06] !vnc | Fustire [20:06] Fustire: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [20:06] SamWeasley: no idea there, sorry [20:06] wigglez: I don't think so.. I seem to recall having to install kernel headers for some compiling stuff [20:06] im running ubuntu 9.04 and i cant seem to figure out how to find desktop themes to install [20:07] hmm it says they are already installed but they arent [20:07] weird :/ [20:07] it says the generic headers and devel are installed. [20:07] hmm [20:07] wigglez: you'll want to install linux-headers- [20:07] k [20:07] wigglez, headers are installed in /usr/src/ [20:08] hi people [20:08] Alex135> My DVD Burner's a external LG [20:08] anybody can tell me how do i boot my laptop using an iso image? [20:08] SamWeasley: i dont put a lot of credit into external drives [20:08] wigglez, sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r [20:08] linux-headers-2.6.28-11 <-- inside of /usr/src [20:08] SamWeasley: generally they dont work as well [20:08] wigglez, and /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build should be pointing to the headers directory in /usr/src [20:09] wigglez, sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` (oops) [20:09] * BlizMare still needs assistance with partitioning in Ubuntu 9.04 to get past the fakeraid issues. === administrator is now known as No_CQRT [20:09] Alex135> For burning of normal disks and Wii disks it is okay [20:09] er my problem with running or downloading anything is that i have no net access on the laptop beside me [20:09] the wireless nic doesnt work [20:09] Alex135> Same for DVD video disks [20:09] Can OSS sound be used with Adobe's Flash 10? [20:09] SamWeasley: well, it shouldn't be complaining for the gamecube one either [20:09] kumarabhi: burn the iso to a cd.. boot from the cd.. afaik you can't boot from an iso [20:09] wigglez, ethernet ? [20:09] basically. im trying to install vmware on the laptop without wireless so i can install another OS within vmware and boot natively [20:09] wigglez: Use Synaptic to make a package download script [20:10] geirha: i am [20:10] i am useing a ubuntu live cd i have run on a number of other machines successfully with no scratches, and the boot fails with the error target filesystem doesn't /sbin/init and the previous mount attempts for other directories have failed and claims "no such file or directory" can someone give me a hand? [20:10] anything that requires 3d, be it Processing or Matlab's 3d graphs show up with a lot of black artefacts. Any ideas what might be wrong, or at least what other tests could help me narrow down the possibilities? Glxgears seems ok. [20:10] wigglez: There's virtualbox-ose in the repositories ... might be easier to just install that [20:10] anyone know how to remedy painfully slow SATA transfer speeds? A lot of talk via google and nothing in the way of a fix that I've seen. [20:10] Slart: my cd rom drive gone bad. cant boot from it [20:10] i have to install ubuntu [20:10] wigglez, which version of Ubuntu and which version of gcc ?

Im connected to a wireless router with wlan0 and i cant get any internet replay.. :S [20:17] Jack_Sparrow: oh i didnt know [20:17] I wonder if there is a correlation between the people who say linux doesn't need reinstalling on a regular (but not often) basis and people who say ext* never needs defragging...

[20:28] racecar56: would this work? dpkg -l |grep ^[^rc] [20:28] thevishy From our repos or from antoher [20:28] i did sudo apt-get install ruby [20:28] jdu: but would that cause it to happen ONLY when I log out? Not when I log in? [20:28] Slart, i did a purge of libgtk2.0-0 (no, im not crazy, i have a reason to do this) and it still leaving a ton of dependencies of it as 'rc' under dpkg -l [20:28] !info ruby [20:28] ruby (source: ruby-defaults): An interpreter of object-oriented scripting language Ruby.

What version of ubuntu are you running? [20:29] racecar56: hmm.. those rc thingies.. are those packages? or something else? [20:29] Hi all, im trying to upgrade to version 8.04, ive downloaded the alternate cd, ive run the upgrade tool and its downloaded all the package files, however i get this error message: "Failed to fetch cdrom:[Ubuntu 8.04.2 _Hardy Heron_ - Release i386 (20090121.2)]/pool/main/o/openoffice.org/openoffice.org-style-human_2.4.1-1ubuntu2.1_all.deb Hash Sum mismatch" anyone know what this is? [20:29] * Pranka Be back later in a few hours. [20:29] franczen, nope [20:29] jdu: 8.10 [20:29] Jaunty [20:29] I wonder what has botched up [20:29] tofaffy, which one? jaunty is 9.04 [20:29] Slart, 'rc' at the begining of dpkg -l [20:29] does installing ruby screw up the whole OS ? [20:29] sup? [20:29] racecar56: hang on.. let me check [20:30] thevishy It should not, but I have not tried ruby [20:30] thevishy: shoudn't do [20:30] quick question about LVMs: if i have an lvm consisting of one logical volume spanning over 2 disks, can the disks spin down independently, or do both have to be spinning whenever data is read/written? [20:30] right yeah its odd , i dont understand what happened [20:30] Slart, e.g. "rc package version description" [20:30] Hi... anyone know how to make a .deb file? [20:30] !packaging [20:30] The packaging guide is at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages for information on getting a package integrated into Ubuntu - Other developer resources are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment - See also !backports [20:30] chazco, ezezez [20:30] chazco, checkinstall [20:31] jdu: I just realized that I am, in fact, not using the latest version of Ubuntu. I didn't realize I had an older iso...I think I'm going to go update and see if that does anything :D [20:31] ruby is just few MB's a small language [20:31] tofaffy, ok, hope it works [20:31] Jack_Sparrow - Thanks :) racecar56 - only really useful when there is a make install available, thanks anyway [20:31] thevishy can you pastebin your sources.list [20:31] chazco, ya, yw [20:32] racecar56: can't really find any information on what "rc" means... [20:32] Slart, if you want ill give you a line of what i see which i want to remove [20:32] Slart, run command originally I believe [20:32] does anybody know how ext4 compares to xfs in terms of performance on large files? [20:32] i will install extendfs in windows hang on [20:33] blz: not exactly, but I could give you a link to a good article about Ext4 [20:33] Virtual PC [20:33] Jack_Sparrow : the error is very much like this http://lists.debian.org/debian-powerpc/2007/08/msg00154.html [20:33] Slart, i think it means there are still conf files, which is weird as i did a purge (i used aptitiude purge libgtk2.0-0) [20:33] ever used Virtual PC [20:33] sebsebseb: that would be great! I'm considering it for a mythtv box, so any literature is welcome [20:33] vpc = fail [20:33] jdu: sorry to waste your time. [20:33] jdu: but thanks very much. [20:33] vbox pwns vpc, but qemu pwns all [20:33] tofaffy, no problem [20:33] Anybody know where I can get nvidia-config? It's not installed when I install the drivers from the ubuntu repos... [20:33] thevishy Are you running debian or ubuntu and if ubuntu which release or version [20:34] racecar56, only if your cpu supports it :( [20:34] !info nvidia-config [20:34] Package nvidia-config does not exist in jaunty [20:34] deany, O RLY? [20:34] blz: I clean installed recently, that was overdue, so my / is Ext4 now for 9.04, but old home partition that I forgot to tell it to use as home is still Ext3, and another Ext3 data partition [20:34] deany, i have this old celeron from '05 and it works [20:34] deany, with qemu [20:34] I am running Linux Mint ubuntu [20:34] !exfat [20:34] Wlan0 connected to wierless router, have no internet response. anyone? ive looked at the ubuntu troubleshoot page of that but that didnt help. [20:34] Sorry, I don't know anything about exfat [20:34] blz: so far I haven't noticed any advantage with Ext4, but I haven't opended big files and such from an Ext4 partition yet [20:34] ubottu: yes, i noticed. So where is a good place to find it? [20:34] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [20:34] brb [20:34] anyone here can help me with mouse lag? [20:34] thevishy Then we cant help you, it is too different than the real ubuntu [20:34] !mint [20:35] There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce) [20:35] sTEPPZOR: what chipset? [20:35] racecar56: true.. rc means there are residual configuration files.. I think when you do apt-get purge .. it will only purge the package specified.. dependencies will be removed normally [20:35] And why, for god's sake did they remove it? It's been a lifesaver for me many-a-time. [20:35] racecar56: I guess aptitude works the same way [20:35] racecar56, i must be thinkin of something else then that needs hardware virtualisation [20:35] blz: I wil open some of the same data on Ext3 and Ext4, see if I notice anything, probably won't [20:35] jdu: thanks [20:35] Virtual PC [20:35] vbox does me fine regardless. [20:35] Jack8899this problem seems very much related to kernel / hardware issue --- thats why I asked here [20:35] please help [20:35] sebsebseb: Yeah I've heard mixed reviews. I seem to remember ext3 being hella slow in some cases (mass delete operations I think...) but I haven't used it in a while [20:35] thevishy Wrong place. [20:35] hi all [20:35] racecar56: how many packages do you have with the 'rc' status? [20:36] racecar56: just a rough number will do [20:36] franczen: its a Acer aspire one A110 so i dont know :P [20:36] sebsebseb: also, doesn't ext4 reduce disk writes? do you know what the word is on that? [20:36] ok i will try mint site [20:36] ty [20:36] sTEPPZOR: post me the lspci output [20:36] sTEPPZOR: in private, if possible [20:36] blz: check out the release notes it mentions three Ext4 issues and 9.04. [20:37] hi all, is there anyone that has a asus w5fm laptop? [20:37] !notes | blz [20:37] blz: Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) release notes can be found here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyJackalope/ReleaseNotes [20:37] Virtual PC [20:37] please help [20:37] The_Jag: nope, not mine [20:37] blz: it's pretty stable now I think, hence why Fedora 11 are going to have it as default file system [20:37] sebsebseb: awesome. this is great! Did you say you had a link to an article as well? [20:37] Ubunt1 : first of all explain what your problem is, second this is UBUNTU support channel, not VirtualPC support channel [20:38] How would I go about changing the volume outputted by a USB headset. The normal volume control does not seem to effect the volume of the USB headset. [20:38] sebsebseb, not in ubuntu its not. my friend still has lockups sometimes deleting large files (its a bug), its fine with ext3. [20:38] well maybe some one could tell me if there's a way to just downgrade alsa driver [20:38] Jack_Sparrow - Seems that most of those need source code archives etc :( I've got a shell script and some files [20:38] sebsebseb, I however, have no problems with it. odd. === burba337 is now known as floodbot [20:39] deany: yeah I know about the lock up issue that's in the release notes [20:39] bc i have problem with sound but an old suse with 1.0.11 alsa version works! === william is now known as Guest67802 [20:39] hi, i just installed th latest nvidia drivers on jaunty and now I can't get my laptop to suspend.

[20:40] sere, you might want to try #nvidia [20:40] blz: good read, and a little file stystem comparison on it === floodbot is now known as burba337 [20:41] can anyone please help. I installed new nvidia drivers in Jaunty 64, and now I cant suspend/resume my laptop [20:42] are there any major issues with kubuntu 9.04 64-bit? i seem to remember flash being an issue [20:42] deciding whether to go with 32 or 64-bit install [20:43] shikhar: Java might be an issue the Java plugin [20:43] hi, i'm looking for where to edit file associations in ubuntu to change the default app that double-clicking something in nautilus will open it with. when i right click and go to properties, i see the command used to execute the app but how can i change the command-line options passed to the app? [20:43] shikhar: Virtualization in Virtualbox probably got to put hardware virtualization on or some such, before 64bit VM's will work on 64bit host [20:43] shikhar: if you got more or equal to 4 gig of ram go with x86_64 if not stick with 32bit [20:43] and also, i don't see the open with... tab for directories [20:43] shikhar: how much RAM you got? people say not much point doing 64bit unless at least 4GB RAM [20:44] kitche: do you know the actsaul reasons for that? === WB2Colorado_ is now known as WB2Colorado [20:44] 4gb ram === usser_ is now known as usser [20:44] sebsebseb: can't address more than 4 gigs of virtual memory without addresses bigger than 32 bits [20:44] sebsebseb: without PAE 32bit can't read more then 3.5ish gb of ram [20:44] sebsebseb: hmm, i dont expect to use virtualization [20:45] kitche: no I mean why would it apparnatly be pointless to do 64bit OS on say 2GB RAM? [20:45] sebsebseb: no need to [20:45] shikhar: 64-bit also enables a few more registers so a select few processes will gain in performance in 64-bit [20:45] jaunty seems to be the greatest thing on earth for half of the users... and a pain for the other half [20:45] I belong to the second half [20:45] tried google, no luck. New nvidia drivers on jaunty 64 have stopped my laptop from suspending/resuming. Anyone know how to fix this? [20:46] kitche: well sure, but would there be any real advantage or not? [20:46] deany, only kvm needs it [20:46] Slart, i have no idea [20:46] Slart, i guess i'll just say my estimate... a ton [20:46] think ill take the 64 bit leap and deal with problems as they come [20:46] kitche: or I should say any advantage at all [20:46] Slart, :P [20:46] sebsebseb: well your thing is a bit off-topic really [20:46] racecar56: =) [20:46] anyone know where to go to edit the file associations (apps listed in the right click menu) to open directories with? [20:46] sebsebseb: it jsut depends on usage I jsut don't see a need myself [20:46] shikhar: go 64 [20:47] kitche: right ok [20:47] does anyone know if i can get a resolution larger than 1024 using tvout on my nvidia card === _Kwitschibo is now known as Kwitschibo [20:48] hello [20:49] hello sighK [20:49] anything interesting in ubuntu land today [20:50] how can one tell what graphics card driver the os is using ?

You could try running compiz settings as root. Might be being silly and not writing out the file due to permissions. I needed to do that with nvidia settings manager.. but that writes to /etc and permission clash should be expected. Compiz stores setting in /home [21:14] what are they? they look like map (hd0) (hd2) and map (hd2) (hd0) [21:14] sTEPPZOR_ : you use iptables [21:14] !ics | sTEPPZOR_ [21:14] Ix-Xitan looks like 5.1 but the package name has 5.0 in it [21:14] sTEPPZOR_: If you want to share the internet connection of your ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php [21:14] i was just trying to download the w32codec deb [21:14] Slart, when that laptop gets fixed, pigs will fly [21:14] but it dont exist [21:14] nejode: Lots of info on error 15 I'll start at the top and work my way down!.....

[21:15] also, Windows IS installed on the first harddrive [21:15] Slart, I've managed to boot my windows installation on this laptop from hd(0,3) no problems :S [21:15] tannersummers: in terminal gksudo or sudo ccsm [21:16] Iceman_B: the first one maps hd0 to hd2, the second maps hd2 to hd0 [21:16] it works [21:16] had to go to the site >_< [21:16] okay, but if Windows is installed in the first hdd, then those map commands are unneccesary? [21:16] Slart, my bad, you're talking about multiple physical drives...I've had that working too, but only by accident, not design :) [21:17] G_A_C: hd0,3 is still the first hard drive [21:17] I have multiple physical drive but I took care to place both Windows and Linux on the first harddrive [21:17] G_A_C: sorry..didn't see the next line [21:17] yeah, I realised my mistake shortly after hitting Enter on that sentence :) [21:17] Slart, my laptop will run better when pigs fly [21:17] Iceman_B: yes [21:17] oi [21:18] galera [21:18] okay, Iĺl remove them then [21:18] Iceman_B: what does the actual boot line look like?

[21:24] andrea_: oh.. I don't know what cairo-compmgr can do.. I mean compiz doesn't have a monopoly on blurring things under a window but you will need a compositing engine of some sorts [21:24] Iceman_B: it's connected to the first connector on the motherboard?

[21:51] elena09, DONT [21:51] elena09, do not install ati driver from site [21:51] I think it's gnome [21:51] elena09, it screws ubuntu [21:51] ok [21:51] jake__: cool so in your case I'd give all your pc information and like some folks did the output from your system, and point out what distro version you are using [21:51] elena09, use the hardware drivers thingy [21:51] Did you install it recently? [21:51] elena09, system > admin > hardware drivers [21:51] m1dlg: which trashcan did you lose? [21:51] ok and? [21:51] the one on the panel at the bottem [21:52] m1dlg: the one on the desktop? or the little one on the grey panel? [21:52] m1dlg: do you see a list of available panel applets when you select "Add Applet..."? [21:52] elena09, then you click the driver [21:52] elena09, activate [21:52] m1dlg: right click on the panel , select Add to panel.. you'll get a long list of stuff you can add.. find "Deleted items" [21:52] I see add to panel option [21:52] will it be only one driver there or more? [21:52] elena09, restart xorg (ctrl alt backspace) (warning for noobies: it closes everything) and login, done [21:52] I'm getting an Error 15 (file not found) after initial grub boot up. Any ideas? More info here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1174437 [21:52] m1dlg: yes, Add to Panel [21:52] elena09, it was one for me [21:52] elena09, but i have no clue [21:52] Yeah - Fixed [21:52] m1dlg: select that, and then look for "Trash" in the list [21:52] Thanks guys [21:52] elena09, if there is multiple tell me [21:52] m1dlg: cool [21:53] - The small things that please small people :) [21:53] elena09, btw the 9200se pwns with ubuntu [21:53] Joeseph: have you tried triel and error booting? [21:53] elena09, works as nice as a nvidia [21:53] thanks guys [21:53] nejode: What do you mean? [21:54] Joeseph: when you boot do you get a grub menu?

Homepage http://wiki.awn-project.org/ Awn-Manager can be found the Gutsy !backports repository and in Universe in Hardy === justin__ is now known as PublicEnemies [21:54] tannersummers: awn goes on the bottom.. you might want to remove the lower gnome panel [21:54] nejode: No I do not. I get "Grub Stage 1.5" something like "Grub loading" and then the error. After that, there's a blinking cursor. [21:55] tannersummers: if you dont, they will overlap [21:55] slart any way to do it without removing it? [21:55] What themes are compatible to install on the new Ubuntu release? [21:55] tannersummers, try holding down alt and click and drag or remove bottom panel [21:55] racecare56, But which driver should I choose from the, from hardware drivers? [21:55] tannersummers, autohide gnome panel? [21:55] tannersummers: well.. you could drag it to one of the sides [21:55] elena09, what drivers are there [21:55] tannersummers: add a gnome panel on the top? [21:55] elena09, btw type race then press tab and it fills in my username for u [21:55] !themes | PublicEnemies [21:55] i can move the icons, its the damn reflection that overlaps [21:55] PublicEnemies: Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://kubuntu-art.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy [21:55] Joeseph: you tried the find command in the grub shell on a live CD? [21:56] tannersummers: awn will show you running programs so you don't really need the bottom gnome panel [21:56] well mine dont show any running programs, how can i turn it on [21:56] Joeseph, EASY to fix grub errors... [21:56] nejode: I've used the find command on a live cd and it seems to find /boot/grub/menu.lst ...... I have an idea now though..... I can go through every file that grub needs with that command until I find what file it needs! [21:56] racecar56: On my PC were more drivers for Nvidia, I choose one and it worked perfectly in Ubuntu, 173, including games [21:57] racecar56: Well, then you can help me fix mine then. [21:57] guntbert, thanks, I have been to gnomelook but am not sure what version to download such as GTK, Metacity, Compiz etc... [21:57] racecar56: thanks for the tab tip [21:57] tannersummers: go to the preferences and add a Launcher/Task manager applet [21:57] On ubuntu, how can I make the terminal open links with just one click of mouse left, instead of mouse right -> open link? [21:57] elena09, k [21:57] Joeseph: does it find the menu.lst? [21:57] nejode: Yes [21:57] slart ty [21:57] Joeseph, find /boot/grub/menu.lst [21:57] tannersummers: you're welcome [21:57] hello everyone -- is there some way to make Ubuntu understand Mac OS X file systems' hard links correctly?

[21:58] any ideas [21:58] ? [21:58] !mac [21:58] Joeseph: and where is your linux install? [21:58] Slart, ty... do u know if this will fix my sound issue [21:59] racecar56: No, it is error 15. It can't find a file. [21:59] PublicEnemies: neither have I, sorry - but that would depend on your system I'd guess, like if you use compiz then take the compiz version, else if you use metacity,,,,, [21:59] Joeseph, havent had experience with taht one before....

That is, if partitions are counted in their physical location in the drive, and not in the order they were created... yes? [22:00] sere84: no idea [22:00] aaditya: still not working. i want to just run a shell script to add rules to iptables and automate it at startup any ideas? [22:00] tannersummers: you have the cube enabled and a shortcut for it set? [22:00] slart ok thanks [22:00] racecar56: That's exactly it. I've been poking around in there and I can't find anything wrong. [22:01] Joeseph, really weird [22:01] anyone know why in 9.04 when playing 2 sound instances like a game and music this sound distarts [22:01] ewsubach: i can take a look at the script if you could pastebin it [22:01] racecar56: And annoying. [22:01] Joeseph: grub depends mostly on how the BIOS sees the disk order [22:01] aaditya: sure [22:01] Joeseph: ow many HDD do you have? [22:01] its enabled, and no shortcut [22:01] nejode: I have two connected. [22:02] Joeseph, maybe you should md5sum your stuff, i'll see if they are different (except for the files that vary....) [22:02] Joeseph: sata and IDE mixed? [22:02] nejode: just ide. [22:02] slart its enabled i have it set to unfold if i press alt,cntrl,shift and butno shortcut [22:03] Joeseph: can you pastebin your /boot/grub/menu.lst file [22:03] nejode: Is it possible that a file lost it's executable status or something when I copied it? [22:03] nejode: Yeah, I will..... but.... I don't think it's even getting there yet. [22:03] ewsubach: those rules will have nothing to do with your session, so put them in a file in /etc/rc.local (you might have to create that directory) [22:03] Joeseph:??? [22:04] so anyone got any ideas [22:04] rhythmbox gives me "Failed to connect to stream: invalid argument" on stuff that i can play with mpg321 . [22:04] nejode: It doesn't give me a menu to go from. It loads to Grub stage 1.5, and then gives me an error. I never get to see my boot options. [22:04] totem often makes no sound, but can read the files, as evidenced by the scope plugin [22:04] i am having trouble with sound when i play dvds since i upgraded to intrepid [22:04] Hi [22:04] aaditya: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d1ccd132f [22:04] tannersummers: can you switch desktops by holding the middle button and moving the mouse? [22:04] Joeseph: sometimes grub changes the order od the disks, if you change te file to read (hd1,0) sometimes it works [22:05] gunbert: what do you mean exactly? [22:05] if u mean middle mouse button then no i cant [22:05] nejode: Well, I guess I've got nothing else to try. [22:05] slart if u mean middle mouse button then no i cant [22:06] nejode: By the way, thanks for the help; it's reassuring, even though I haven't figured anything out yet. [22:06] tannersummers: check the "Rotate cube" plugin.. it has bindings for rotating the cube [22:06] Hey guys. [22:07] Joeseph: grub isn't too hard once you know it... you can try #grub in this same server [22:07] ewsubach: i believe that iptables rules should be persistant [22:07] guntbert: what do you mean exactly? === hagbard__ is now known as big_fish [22:07] aaditya: iptables rules are not persistent. this I know [22:07] ewsubach: the place to put such a script is /etc/rc.local, there it will be executed on startup, long before you log into your session [22:07] nejode: I'll go over there and ask for help. I guess I don't even really have an ubuntu specific problem. [22:07] On ubuntu, how can I make the terminal open links with just one click of mouse left, instead of mouse right -> open link? [22:08] ewsubach: then something is wrong with the configuration [22:08] gunbert: i am aware of system V startup scripts, but I just want to know why it won't work where i have it [22:08] ewsubach: as far as the script is concerned, try executing `sudo /home/ewsubach/.iptables_rules` from the terminal and then as a startup command [22:08] slart how do i set this up tho? i just wanna hold buttons down to zoom out to cube and move it with mouse [22:08] why is ngspice not in ubuntu? [22:08] ewsubach: I didnt't follow - where do you have it now? [22:08] aaditya: the command works fine in a terminal, but not when I add it using system -> prefs -> startup apps [22:09] guntbert: added it using the method in my last post [22:09] Joeseph; my on has 3 HDD's, ide and sata mixed, when he fools around with the disks order or deletes partitions he gets error 15 and 17 all the time [22:09] *son [22:09] nvzn: because it's obscure... [22:09] nejode: Hmmm...... that's interesting. [22:10] I'm trying to get multimedia buttons setup on my tablet, if XEV doesn't see them, is there anything else I can try? [22:10] tannersummers: ok.. you've setup 4 horizontal desktops, right? === bk is now known as bk|away [22:10] Joeseph: grub error 18 sure is a pain in the.... [22:10] nejode, that's expected.. the errors... not what your son does... have him leave them where they are and their boot order in BIOS.. then reinstall grub [22:10] Slart; When I leave the room how can I announce that, or insert a bye bye or something? [22:10] losher: really? it's in debian testing and unstable, is it complicated to port to ubuntu HH? [22:10] ewsubach: try this out then: zenity --info --text="`sudo /home/ewsubach/.iptables_rules`" [22:10] ya it shows on my bar 4 horizontal desktop [22:10] slart [22:10] ewsubach: which I don't see at the moment, but I guess it is somewhere in "session management", and so that script will only executed when you actually login [22:11] *will only be [22:11] elena09: just say "bye bye.. thanks for all the awesome help.. I'll send money" .. there's nothing more advanced about it =) [22:11] losher: do you know another spice that's better? [22:11] elena09: /part #room-name bye bye [22:11] Joeseph, not necesarily, if stage1 cant find menu.lst you get the same problem [22:11] tannersummers: and you've enabled both the Rotate cube and Desktop cube plugins [22:12] "bye bye and thanks" [22:12] ok, my system hust crashed.. hard, nothing was working and the scroll and caps lock keys were flashing on my keyboarb, i cant find a crash entry in the logs though... any ideas? [22:12] guntbert: correct. (I added it using system -> prefs -> startup apps) i only want it for my user account. it shouldn't matter where it is located...it's just the fact that it needs root privileges [22:12] help please: how can i see my sound card configure alsa, oss by default etc? [22:12] elena09: bye [22:12] !sound [22:12] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [22:12] slart yes both are enabled, [22:12] in general, does debian have more packages than ubuntu by virtue of the fact that it is the distro that ubuntu is based on? [22:12] tannersummers: ok.. can you switch desktops by using cltr+alt+left and ctrl+alt+right [22:13] nvzn: wouldn't it make more sense to conclude ubuntu would have at least as many packages as debian? [22:13] anyone know why in 9.04 when playing 2 sound instances like a game and music the sound distarts [22:13] nvzn: I don't really know. But the more popular packages get ported quickest. I'm guessing there isn't much demand... [22:13] aaditya: that returned a box with a lit lightbulb and then i pressed okay [22:13] nvzn, in general ubuntu has the same packages as debian, there are a few only introduced on Ubuntu [22:13] ewsubach: no text? [22:13] aaditya: none [22:13] slart no those keys do nothing for me [22:13] ewsubach: your script does not output anything, does it? [22:14] ewsubach: no you've made me curious: what would you put into an iptables script that only needs to be executed when you login? [22:14] jrib: I find one that is in debian but not in ubuntu, for instance, so this leads me to suspect the contrary [22:14] ewsubach: that command was supposed to display the output of your script.. [22:14] aaditya: only unless an error occurred when trying to add the rules [22:14] !timebasedreleases > nvzn [22:14] nvzn, please see my private message [22:14] ewsubach: btw, i assume that you've gone through https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo [22:14] nvzn: ubuntu takes a snapshot of the debian repository every release [22:14] hi, guys. I have a serious problem: mi pendrive is detected by knoppix, but it cannot be mounted. Need to recover the files inside my pen, so I cannot delete anything. I guess I need to run some kind of recovery-program, I couldn't install anything, 'cause my HD is also damaged. I would really appreciate some help. [22:14] tannersummers: ok.. in the compizconfig settings manager.. in the "Rotate cube" plugin settings.. you have bindings for Rotate left, Rotate right etc [22:15] jrib: which release is HH based on? [22:15] aaditya: look, i'm not a noob, i just need to run it at startup with root priv...I verified it works by doing iptables -S to see that the rules were added in my filter table [22:15] !recover| jonjon [22:15] jonjon: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel [22:15] nvzn: nvzn HH is the release [22:15] * izunics for some reason temporarilly booted into his windows partition to be greated by 100+mg of updates.. tapping foot now for 5 minutes.. [22:15] jrib: ie., which debian snapshot [22:15] aaditya: but when run through startup apps, it does nothing [22:16] ewsubach: try using gksu instead of sudo [22:16] nvzn: from whatever was in debian's development branch when work on HH started [22:16] ok, my system hust crashed.. hard, nothing was working and the scroll and caps lock keys were flashing on my keyboarb, i cant find a crash entry in the logs though... any ideas? [22:16] is there a way to benchamark hard drive write & read in linux ? [22:16] aaditya: i've tried just about every combo there is an it doesn't work. i even tried sleep 15 before it to see if it had to wait to load everything up and still nothing [22:16] izunics : you deserved it for booting into Morgoth Bauglir (trad. from high elven "Dark Enemy of the world") = :P [22:16] can someone tell me how to save and restart the iptables? "service iptables save" dont work [22:17] guntbert: i use different rules for my different accounts and i only want this set for me [22:17] gartral: hmm.. the flashing lights mean something.. not sure if it's some kind of code or just a general "oh my , I'm dying here" [22:17] Rigongia, and I had almost lost the dent in my forhead [22:17] slart how can i unistall and reinstall this? cuase when i go to the system prefrnces , the compiz settings are diffrent then when i edit the settings in termnial by typing ccsm, its like to diff programs :S [22:17] sTEPPZOR_ : there are the commands iptables-save and iptables-restore, so take a look at their respective manpages [22:17] ewsubach: i see. have you added NOPASSWD to sudoers? [22:17] *sudo csm [22:17] ubottu, they aren't deleted, the problem is the vfat filesystem has been disconfigured, somehow. [22:17] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [22:18] tannersummers: never use sudo with a gui program.. always gksudo [22:18] ewsubach: in other words, does the sudo command ask for a password? [22:18] slart s what do i do? unistall reinstall? [22:18] tannersummers: I guess "sudo apt-get install --reinstall compizconfig-settings-manager" might do it [22:18] aaditya, yes [22:18] been a while since I got updates for jaunty [22:18] is it normal? [22:18] i cannot get sound with dvds since my intrepid upgrade [22:19] hi izunics? [22:19] aaditya: yes it does...thats why I don't think sudo is really working at startup[ because it can't ask for pw. gksu should have worked though [22:19] jonjon, are you sure the vfat filesystem is not damaged ? you might want to run fsck.vfat on the pendrive device [22:19] raden: first hit in google reccomends "bonnie++" [22:19] tannersummers: also.. what does "which ccsm" return in a terminal? [22:19] slart whats the package name [22:19] aaditya, yes to sudo asking for a password === muellisoft is now known as Muelli [22:19] tannersummers: I guess "sudo apt-get install --reinstall compizconfig-settings-manager" might do it [22:19] losher, thanks i must have been using a diffrent search string couldnt find that [22:19] ewsubach: allow sudo to run this particular command without a password [22:19] !sudo [22:19] sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [22:19] ewsubach: ok, its your funeral in the end :-), but what happens if two users are logged in? - for debugging: put a few more lines into your bash script, like echo "now" > ~/now,... [22:20] tannersummers: and what does "ccsm --version" tell you? [22:20] izunics: do i know you? [22:20] slart not sure [22:20] Slart: i threyed alt+pntrq+k and it crashed, further issues of the command made my screen roll to the rith a bit each time i issued it, but it never did the soft restart, i had to actually hit the button on the tower [22:20] Thanks, RIGONGIA. I'm gonna try it. [22:20] aaditya, aka.. scunizi.. but I don't know.. you asked a question and I answered.. hopefully in the right context [22:20] guntbert: don't see why its a funeral, but whatever. that's a good point about 2 users, but the good thing is I am the only one using the system and never two accounts at the same time [22:21] joaopinto: I think that because ubuntu takes snapshots of the dev branch, there are some packages which get introduced after the snapshot into debian that don't make it into ubuntu [22:21] slart it did not unistall settings are still there' [22:21] aaditya: ok, now it makes sense. [22:21] ewsubach: good [22:21] izunics: lol ok [22:21] aaditya, guntbert: thank you both so much for your help, this has been bothering me for a while :) [22:22] nvzn: that's true, however you are comparing a development version to a stable version at that point [22:22] asdf [22:22] ewsubach: no, no funeral - that remark was meant to say: as you have to bear the consequences (even goog ones) you are free to do as you like [22:22] jrib: sometimes debian testing is practically stable [22:22] nvzn: there's a good chance you could just download the code, compile it & run. It looks like it's been ported a few times... [22:22] nvzn, that is expected :) [22:22] tannersummers: ok, try "sudo apt-get install --reinstall --purge compizconfig-settings-manager" [22:22] *good [22:23] nvzn, "stable" is a formal release definition ;) [22:23] Hey. I just got my computer back after eight months, and now I'm only getting sound through my headphones. This happened when I first installed Ubuntu, but I fixed it. Can anyone suggest anything? [22:23] gartral: sounds like a bad crash.. [22:23] joaopinto: righto [22:23] DiffyQ: check if there isn't a separate volume slider for headphones and speakers [22:24] DiffyQ: which version of Ubuntu? [22:24] losher: yeah i compiled it but I wonder why its not in the repo's, as it seems to be industry standard [22:24] DiffyQ: also check the preferences in the mixer to show hidden sliders [22:24] Slart: Ha, yes, I've checked. Everything's on. [22:24] Slart: i must say, after that though, it came up and hasnt even warned me about anything ((glad i decided to keep ext3) [22:24] nvzn: does it run? [22:24] gartral: =) [22:24] losher: yeah, np [22:24] slart nope nothing ill jsut remove it from add/remove programs [22:24] aaditya: I had Hardy when I got my computer back, but I upgraded to Intrepid. No change. [22:25] gartral: you realise that ubuntu's ext4 is as reliable as ext in the event of a power failure? [22:25] tannersummers: come to think of it.. I don't think the compiz settings are owned by the settings manager [22:25] nvzn: weird. If there had been a subtle problem that might've explained it. If you really need to know, I think there's a dedicated mailing list... [22:25] hello world [22:25] tannersummers: try going to system, preferences, appearance, desktop effects.. select one of the default settings there.. it should reset the settings to that [22:25] im still having issues with my ICS on my linux computer. Ive set up the iptables as it says in the tutorial. Ive putte my other computer at 192.168.5.10 and netmask 255.255.255.0 gw: 192.168.5.1 dns 192.168.0.1 but it says it cant reach dns [22:25] losher: which list? [22:25] DiffyQ: upgrading to Jaunty can fix the issue [22:25] slart im new at thsi so i have no clue what u siad :) [22:25] i need help with 904 sound, i had sound and now i dont [22:26] boss_mc: this wasn't a power failure, this was the kernal gave up the ghost and the thing just hung, not even ssh was up, i had to hard reboot [22:26] aaditya: Really? I suppose I could try it. [22:26] xxuriahxx: where did the sound go? [22:26] nvzn: poke around on http://sourceforge.net/projects/ngspice/ [22:26] i have no idea [22:26] gartral: still, point stands (that sounds like kernel panic) [22:26] My speakers have worked in Ubuntu before. Just not now for some reason. [22:26] hello [22:26] DiffyQ: yes, it's a good idea to upgrade anyways [22:26] is anyone here a hardware guy? [22:26] i thought it was my speakers but i checked it with my ipod and the speakers are fine [22:26] gartral: ext4 gets a lot of bad press for reliability [22:26] slart i unistalled it now how do i reinstall it? [22:26] losher: ah ok, i thought you meant an ubuntu mailing list... [22:26] tannersummers: =).. click on system, preferences, appearance.. now go to the "Visual Effects" tab.. there should be 3 settings.. "none", "normal", and "Extra".. selecting one of these will reset the compiz settings [22:26] in ubuntu, what do colons (:) mean in bash script? [22:26] I am looking for some advice on Ubuntu Server [22:27] gartral: when it's as reliable and about 10-30% faster [22:27] DiffyQ: moreover you can see if other users on your machine have the same problem. Create a new user account for testing purposes perhaps [22:27] nvzn: unlikely. since there's no package :-) [22:27] sTEPPZOR_: what is ICS? [22:27] BromaxSux: depends on where they are located [22:27] !ics [22:27] If you want to share the internet connection of your ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php [22:27] i can adjust the settings and stuff but nothing comes out of the laptop speakers anymore [22:27] mmm [22:27] question guys.. if you want to run Ubuntu Server 24x7 [22:27] ass [22:27] xxuriahxx: It sounds like we might have the same problem. [22:27] BromaxSux: they can mean a lot of things.. [22:27] would it be worthwile to upgrade to a 80Plus power Supply? [22:27] Wang2K: is that a question? [22:27] boss_mc: main reason for not converting: I have less than 500 megabytes on my drive [22:27] as dfuhF.DSKJFCWELFJ WELIFUWRW [22:28] or stick with a regular 2-3 year old power supply? [22:28] in terms of saving power/costs over 2-3 year lifetime? [22:28] hmm, this is weird [22:28] Wang2K: it depends on the rest of your hardware [22:28] !enter | Wang2K [22:28] Wang2K: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [22:28] ewsubach, Internet connection sharing [22:28] Hey, in which folder are the epiphany plugins ? [22:28] does anyone know how to turn off the the "Search for Plugins" everytime Rhythmbox starts up because it keeps searching for plugins for stuff but not finding them, and it happens every time [22:28] aaditya: interesting philosophy. In my opinion, upgrading to 9.04 causes more problems than it solves [22:28] it was working when i first installed it and that was a couple of days ago [22:28] aaditya: i see. okay i'll rtfm. thanks [22:28] choose a power supply that can comfortable supply power to all parts of your system [22:28] Iceman_B: PhenomII 920, 8GB of RAM, 3x SATA 7200RPM HD.. [22:28] losher: This is what I have heard as well. [22:28] I currently have rm associated with totem and want to associate it with realaudio [22:28] how should i go about mounting NFS as a user, i.e., is there an equivalent of mount.cifs whereby i don't need an entry in fstab to mount NFS as a non-root user? [22:28] ive done the tutorial but the client computer cant seem to resolve the DNS [22:29] losher: didn't create problems for me. what problems anyways? [22:29] Wang2K: hm, I dont know how much power that needs, probaly a lot. what PSU do you have now? and what brand? [22:29] Iceman_B: right, the old one will do that.. but the efficieny isn't as high as the new 80+ PS.. so I'm thinking.. will the cost of a new PS be offset by power savings over 3 years? [22:29] At any rate, I don't have time to upgrade at the moment. Is there something quick I should try? [22:29] !nfs | ganymede [22:29] ganymede: nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. [22:29] aaditya: sounds, flash, sluggishness, ext4 corruptions, intel incompatibilities, I may have missed a few...

[22:31] oshri: do you have a question? [22:31] Hi, how can I use 'df' to give me a disk space usage directory structure of a mounted ntfs partition? everytime i try it just shows me /dev/sdb1 98% [22:31] sTEPPZOR_: sure [22:31] slart which backend so i use?

[22:31] aaditya: you'll note that that document you linked to doesn't answer my question [22:31] tannersummers_: backend? what are you talking about? [22:31] i have sound blaster 5.1 sound card [22:31] hahahahaha [22:31] All the same, is there something quick that I should try for this? I'm kind of at a loss, and I don't remember how I fixed this a year and a half ago. [22:31] I want to install Ubuntu Netbook Remix on my MSI Wind, but dont want to format my USb stick. Can I just extract the image onto a USB drive and boot from it to install? [22:31] a lot of sound issues here [22:31] when i go into gnome-sound-properties i get sound [22:31] ganymede: possible [22:31] does it need any twaking? [22:32] aaditya: not everyone has been so lucky. I've been watching the fallout on this channel since 9.04 came out. [22:32] but when i go into alsamixer it doesn't say that im using the right sound card [22:32] aaditya: oops, never mind, it does [22:32] in the prefrences it as which backend to use [22:32] losher: i agree [22:32] aaditya: forgot that i can use sudo, was looking for a way without sudo [22:32] the compiz prefrences [22:32] Hey! Im trying to play Texas Hold 'Em on Facebook (made by Zynga) and when I'm in the lobby I cant see the text where the tables or my friends are listed... Im using Firefox and flashplugin-nonfree. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

[22:33] tannersummers_: what are your options? [22:33] my pcm was muted, i knew it was something simple since i had sound to begin with [22:33] aaditya: well i wasn't particularly interested in avoiding sudo, just forgot i can use it for non-admin users [22:34] sigh, playing dvds still sucks. [22:34] myself: yeah it's annoying. i have the same problem. anyone knows how to disable the rhythmbox plugin search dialog? [22:34] bc: you mean it works for you? I can't even get them started [22:34] slart GConf or flatfile [22:34] tannersummers_: no idea.. pick one [22:35] Slart: a couple of weeks ago, one I tried played fine. Just now I tried to watch WALL-E and all the chapters were mixed up. No sound in totem, choppy sound in VLC, wouldn't play in mplayer. [22:35] hmm still cant gt this === miguel is now known as Guest52290 [22:36] bc: hmm.. on my system I can't even get a commercial DVD started.. no matter how many deccs scripts I install or run [22:37] Slart: totem will only open it if I use gksudo. VLC will open it without gksudo, but then there's the minor problem of the movie chapters/scenes being in random order. [22:37] * bc just LOVES the movie and recording industry.. NOT [22:38] slart still nothing wat do ut hink it is? [22:38] bc: hrmpf.. well.. perhaps in 9.10 [22:38] !test [22:38] sigh... again? I'm busy here, I already told you it failed. [22:39] Slart: if I were a betting man.. I'd bet not :D Here's hope for 2020! [22:39] tannersummers_: did you try clicking one of the three options I told you about? [22:39] bc: hehe.. but by then we'll have a loooong list of movies to see =) [22:39] slart ya nothing [22:39] tannersummers_: nothing happens at all?

[23:04] chamuscas: system, preferences, sound.. second tab ... "play alert sound" [23:04] sere84: it's on long term support. I'm still on 8.04. No reason you can't do the same... [23:04] aaditya, nop :P [23:05] chamuscas: uncheck that box [23:05] wait let me see [23:05] it happened the same to me in Ubuntu (6.06 Dapper Drake), until it stopped working. That's why I use Knoppix, but I've also used an Ubuntu live-cd and it's the same problem. [23:05] chamuscas: unplug the speaker's wire inside the box ;) [23:05] ciao a tt [23:05] chamuscas: for some reason I have to "sound" choices in system, preferences.. the second one was the one I wanted [23:05] You people are on fire today [23:06] *two [23:06] losher how long? i thought only tell 2010 [23:06] aaditya, tanks for all the tips but Slart's one was just what i was looking for :p [23:06] chamuscas: cool [23:06] aaditya, realy is that a speaker inside the computer :p ??

The point is, it will last until the next LTS. No need to run something like 9.04 that isn't really ready for prime-time... [23:07] aaditya, never thought on that XD [23:07] chamuscas: you're welcome [23:07] Pixels: what do you mean? [23:08] anyone installed keepass on Ubuntu? [23:08] I'm enjoying this more and more. I'm realy realy happy :) [23:08] losher, i agree i dont like it ...wasnt for sure how all that works [23:08] aaditya: you are not an OP here, so stop acting like you are. [23:08] Has i don't have more problems to solve neither other questions to take care, I will be on my way. Ba BY ppl [23:09] Pixels: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=keepass%20ubuntu [23:09] Pixels: if he was an op he wouldn't need to use the !ops trigger.. afaik this is what it's for [23:09] so keepass isnt in the ubuntu repos? [23:09] Pixels, keepassx is available from the repositories [23:10] !info keepassx [23:10] keepassx (source: keepassx): Cross Platform Password Manager. In component universe, is optional.

[23:10] Pixels, keepass isnt secure i wouldnt use it [23:10] Pixels, yes [23:10] sere84: what??? [23:10] any info on how to remove .fdi created after i accidently removed polling on mr dvd burner [23:10] sere84, hum ? [23:10] Pixels: i AM an op here, and use of the !ops trigger is encouraged when there are problems. [23:10] aaditya: thanks for the heads-up [23:10] sere84: since when isnt keepass secure??? please explain bexause I store all my sensitive data in keepass [23:10] mneptok: ok [23:11] mneptok: no problem ;) [23:11] Pixels, joaopinto, the database can be crackes pretty easily [23:11] Got a problem ===> Ubuntu 9.04 connects with packet loss. Can't access most websites, only google, gmail and a few others; Im also unable to download any updates. Help please. [23:11] it seems to me that aaditya is the ops puppet who brings the ops a apple :P but i will stay on topic now :) [23:11] i am trying to mount a possibly damaged hard drive to determine if it is really damaged. i am trying to use the mount command but am not sure how to use it. can someone help me determine if the hard drive is broken or let me know how to properly work mount? [23:11] sere84: what are you saying?? [23:12] Terrorsathan: did you try a different network adapter? [23:12] sere84: you shouldn't make a claim like that about keepass without some form of corroboration. Reference please? [23:12] sere84> Pixels, joaopinto, the database can be crackes pretty easily <-- any proof for this? and what other program you recommend that cannot be cracked? [23:12] Terrorsathan: it could very well be a hardware problem [23:12] sere84, keepassx uses the same encryption algorithms as many other tools/services, it is just as crackable as them, the password quality is always a matter of concern [23:12] sere84: i will send you a keepass databse... you crack it "easily" and tell me what the first entry said.. ok deal? [23:12] Pixels, i would just use a notepad and encrypt it with gpg [23:13] aaditya: How's so? My connection is via direct cable, not DSL modem. eth0 and auto ethernet are working here [23:13] losher, the fact that i can crack is enough :x [23:13] yet with no results. [23:13] Pixels: it's about keeping this room clean and friendly. nothing personal; strictly personal [23:13] How can I combine 2 completely separate networks with 2 separate ISPs for increased speed without rebooting?

[23:13] strictly business :\ [23:13] sere84: you have made some bold claims... now I will challenge you to back it up.. after all you said "the database can be crackes pretty easily".... i will send you a keepass databse... you crack it "easily" and tell me what the first entry said.. ok deal? [23:13] :/ [23:13] * losher thinks the natives are restless this afternoon... [23:13] sec [23:14] Terrorsathan: i had the exact same problem. which network adapter are you using? [23:14] sere84: your repution will be watched by everyone here now... where can I send you the databse so you can crack it easily [23:14] Ok.. so now I feel like a total moron.. but lets run this by the channel. Would a cdrom slaved on an IDE controller not play nice sometimes if the master HD on the same controller was having issues, or are data xferrs isolated on the cable? [23:14] aaditya: you mean network card? [23:14] I suck at comp language. [23:14] Terrorsathan: yes, network card. sorry for that [23:14] Pixels, i have nothing to prove man...just trying to help but hey do what you what....google my friend [23:14] lol [23:14] sere84: dont give me any more words or links.. prove it.... crack my database [23:15] want* [23:15] graelin: I'm guessing that having a master with problems could affect a slave.. yes [23:15] ... wow [23:15] sere84: as I thought.. you were not willing to bnackup your words because you are full of SH&^ lol [23:15] aaditya: no prob. Can't remember well but some fellow told me it kinda sucks.

[23:28] sere84: its a brand new database... inside the keepass databse there is a WORD! tell me what that word is and prove you can crack keepass "easily" [23:28] Knyte: oh..
