[00:48] If I can play sound correctly from flash videos online, why am I getting hardware beeps for system errors? Is there a way to change this? [00:48] tvbox: no idea, i don't use gnome, probably gnome-session-properties or something [00:48] the device is detected. I'm using the sound preferences gui tool in gnome, i've tried the alsa and oss drivers for this device but none work (they used to earlier today...) [00:49] byte^, you could blacklist the pcspkr kernel module [00:49] hey how do you install Qt3 properly? [00:49] can anyone recommend a netbook that works really well with the ubuntu operating sys? [00:49] Kalmi: What exactly would that mean?? By blacklisting it would it force it play a system wav? IS there a sound that is supposed to be used when an error has occured? [00:49] joanki123: pretty much any of them [00:49] nevermind, the oss drivers work now [00:49] I mean, if it is supposed to play system beeps, then everything is fine I suppose.

[00:53] WTF is wrong with this keyboard.... Gah.

[00:53] racarter: you just said test works [00:53] mah: I suppose, I just like to double check I guess [00:53] racarter: so which is it? [00:53] I'm looking to back-up a copy of my DVDs ... what's the best way to do this (app?) [00:54] crazyhick: dd [00:54] From an ext3 file system, am I able to access (read/write) an ext4 system? or vice-versa? I forget how the compatibility goes. [00:54] alex-weej, and my mail client is gmail with no outgoing port 143 access so that doesn't work [00:54] fryguy: i don't really understand... test sound works with the sound app in gnome, but it is not working in firefox... [00:54] racarter: install alsa-oss and configure firefox to use the aoss dsp [00:54] fryguy, that's not really true - a lot of dell computers have weird graphics cards [00:54] hi [00:54] byte^, both ways [00:54] or sound cards [00:54] heresjohnny: no labs feature for it? [00:54] joanki123: define "weird" it's either intel, nvidia, or ati, and they all work in some level or another [00:54] Printer Question - I have a printer on my Ubuntu machine. The policies were set up according to Ubuntu's web site. When the XP machine connects to it, it says access denied. According to the policy on my Ubuntu machine, it's allowable to everyone.

[00:55] fryguy, to my knowledge the card had very little support [00:55] racarter: if you see the letters "oss", run a mile.

[00:57] aaditya, you don't need an antivirus scanner for Linux. Unlike windows, Linux was built from a secure foundation [00:57] Roasted, um... install... make sure shared is ticked... [00:58] heresjohnny: thanks for letting me know.. [00:58] bk: install ClamAV and and the GUI [00:58] sorry about that :) [00:58] bk: check the link that ubottu sent you === NCDS is now known as NCDS_tanner [00:58] !clamav [00:58] Sorry, I don't know anything about clamav [00:58] mrwes: clamav is the one i get an error on, i installed it through apt-get, then uninstalled, and yea [00:58] er [00:58] kalmi - then what? What do you do on the XP machine to connect it? [00:58] bk: what was the error? The one about the engine being outdated? [00:58] hii everyone, how do i show which current graphic driver im using? [00:59] mrwes: something like that, ive pastebind it, brb [00:59] chaos2fu: lspci [00:59] chaos2fu: /var/log/Xorg.log.0 will tell you [00:59] Roasted, do you have samba installed? [00:59] I get that error too, about clamav being outdated [00:59] If I choose not to install boot loader when install Ubuntu (I have another installation of it on another partition with GRUB), how do I know what to add to GRUB for me to boot it? The linux kernel entries in GRUB seem to be really complex... [00:59] aaditya: lspci lists device, not associated drivers [00:59] chaos2fu: lspci | grep VGA [00:59] bk: blah...it's just the engine that's outdated, it'll work fine and freshclam will update your AV defs [00:59] kalmi - yep [00:59] fryguy: ah i see [00:59] mrwes: http://flotier.pastebin.com/m7bb54537 [00:59] bk: I run ClamAV on my sever and it says the same thing about the engine [01:00] byte^: just copy another entry and change the location, it's pretty straightforward [01:00] Yeah I was just wondering.

[01:05] four lines is a flood? [01:05] heh [01:05] 4 lines in a short period of time [01:05] Which is the preferred command-line APT front-end now: apt-get or aptitude? [01:05] MattCampbell: apt-get [01:06] MattCampbell: whichever you are comfortable with, don't mix them any more than you have to though [01:06] From what I've been told, there is more developer focus on apt-get than on aptitude [01:06] Would it be a safe bet to say that there is only one 300mb wireless cip for linux. [01:06] ralink? [01:06] bk: you're trying to install ClamAV from the command line, on a server install or desktop? [01:06] !apt-get [01:06] APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit.

[01:08] mrwes: desktop [01:08] Is there any way I can tag a windows printer driver to a printer through samba so when the person connects to it they auto-download the windows driver for it? [01:08] mrwes: laptop actuall [01:08] y [01:08] bk: use synaptic manager instead of command line [01:08] MattCampbell: aptitude does it on the fly, apt-get has to have autoremove called [01:09] mrwes: i did, got the same exact error [01:10] if there was a SPARC port of ubuntu, that'd be nice.. I could run Ubuntu on everything of mine, which in the near future will include PowerPC and ARM..and currently includes SPARC and x86. [01:10] MattCampbell: automatic removal of which packages? like dependencies no longer required? [01:10] bk: did you try a complete removal and re-installation? [01:10] !sparc | Bob_Dole [01:10] mrwes: yes, and i made sure all processes were stopped for clam as well [01:10] Bob_Dole: Have a look here for Docs http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/install/sparc/ KnownIssues and TODO are on the wiki.

I have some apps that I'm permanently running, and that I don't want to show up in any desktop. [01:15] avdg: ahh, that totally makes sense [01:15] mrwes: might need to [01:15] also aaditya, thanks.

[01:26] barqers: is that a domain or a workgroup? === nubuntu is now known as zenxr [01:26] hackel: yea, always best not to recompile your own :D [01:26] fryguy - I wasnt aware I needed to actually add the printer to my smb.conf... I was told all I need to do is share it through CUPS and I'm done. I just don't know what to do with the Windows side of it as far as connecting. [01:27] Roasted: if it's shared correctly, you connect to it like you connect to any other share [01:27] hackel: you want the script to do what senstially? [01:27] hackel: hack someone's connection :D [01:27] ubottu: That's the thing I can't even see my windows files... ntfs-3g doesn't allow me to check internal write support [01:27] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [01:27] fryguy - meaning what? start - run - \\ubuntuserver, right click my printer, hit connect? [01:27] Roasted: yes [01:27] deeb0: ubottu is a bot [01:27] lol [01:27] oops [01:28] i meant to say ploooop [01:28] deeb0: LOL, happened to me [01:28] How can I hide the File, edit, view... menu in opera? [01:28] Roasted: sudo cupsaddsmb -a [01:28] fryguy - That works, EXCEPT I get access denied - unable to connect on the windows machine. [01:28] if I get a ps2 keyboard, will it be recognized as soon as it's plugged in, i.e. without rebooting? (I'm running 8.10 and am in the middle of upgrading to 9.04) [01:28] aaditya: it's a workgroup [01:28] Roasted: so then make sure you are in the same workgroup/domain and are passing along the correct credentials [01:28] deeb0: you tried force mounting... not recommended but it works [01:29] permanewb, no... the BIOS disables the PS2 port if there is nothing plugged when bootinh [01:29] p1oooop: No, what are you talking about? I need to log in to the wireless network I use all the time, I wrote a script to do that, and I want NetworkManager to run it when I connect to that particular ESSID but before it marks the connection as active.

Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [01:30] ploooop: Well I just went to the link posted by the bot and I tried the pysdm package... the thing is my ubuntu is installed in the same partition as my windows [01:30] fryguy - Everything is in the workgroup - workgroup and I am connected right now just fine... I am in my share browsing, so I have no idea why I have access denied to the printer. Hence my ongoing confusion. [01:30] hackel: ahh, okay.... kind of an extra security feature right? [01:30] Roasted: probably because you shared the printer using a different mechanism [01:30] ploooop: I didn't do full installation.... I did "Install in Windows" option [01:30] p1oooop: yes, this is very common on corporate wifi networks, and services like boingo, t-mobile, etc. [01:30] fryguy, and? [01:30] deeb0, oh... that's the problem... [01:31] fryguy - I just followed the directions. No idea why it wouldn't work... [01:31] aaditya: But where do I go to access it? like i've clicked Places>Network>Windows Network, but i get an error. I can't seem to find FRANCOHOME [01:31] I figured [01:31] hackel: yup... kinda annoying dont you think? [01:31] Kalmi: So it's not possible huh? [01:31] fryguy, I know my ATI isn't supported on Ubuntu 9.04 so am asking if anyone found anything about it. [01:31] fryguy - just rebooted the XP computer and now it says ready... hmmm?? [01:31] Gourlis: ati is supported just fine [01:31] p1oooop: Yes, very! [01:31] fryguy - It seems to be hanging up when I try to actually print though. Great... [01:31] barqers: that's how you'd access it. not sure what's wrong with it. i'd recommend using ssh/sftp on windows machines for file sharing though [01:31] fryguy, no it's not. At least for my model. [01:32] Gourlis: yea, you think.... it freaking kills my computer all the time [01:32] deeb0, i don't think it is... you could force it, but that is probably very unsafe... [01:32] ploooop, same problems here. [01:32] Gourlis: the ati, or radeon driver will work just fine with any ati card [01:32] hackel: I'm guessing maybe as a last resource [01:32] Kalmi: unsafe as in? [01:32] aaditya: Okay, thank you! [01:32] fryguy, for the ATI Radeon X1250 no drivers found for Ubuntu 9.04 [01:32] hackel: maybe meaning DIY compiling... [01:32] barqers: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/TransferFiles [01:32] Gourlis: so use the ati or radeon driver [01:32] Well then, Ubuntu isn't going to my choice for SPARC, looks like 6.06 is the last release for SPARC, the install guide assumes a headless server, etc. I've got a workstation, and wouldn't want to use anything earlier than 8.04 :( [01:33] deeb0, might damage your windows file system [01:33] grrr [01:33] :) [01:33] fryguy, u didn't understand [01:33] Why me? [01:33] lol [01:33] deeb0: yup... [01:33] .. any suggestions? My usb keyboard has stopped being recognized, and I'm being prompted to save or replace a config file, in the middle of upgrading to 9.04... I've I turn of the computer, it's not going to just continue the installation when it restarts, I supposed. [01:33] Have you guys seen it happen often? [01:33] Gourlis: i understand just fine. you aren't trying to use the ati or radeon driver [01:33] fryguy, how should I try? From where? [01:33] deeb0, a real install (not wubi) can safely read/write files on a windows partition [01:33] Gourlis: /etc/X11/xorg.conf [01:33] deeb0: I haven't had it damage my filesystem thankgod, but I've heard of people with mutilated filesystems [01:33] p1oooop: Well it's not as if it's just a matter of re-compiling, I would have to write the code too, that's the hard part! If it annoys me enough, I might consider doing it... [01:34] fryguy, by typing that into Terminal ? [01:34] blah... so I guess I have to uninstall and then make a dual boot of full ubuntu huh [01:34] Gourlis, ati dropped support for a lot of drivers you might have to use the open source driver [01:34] How can I hide the File, edit, view... menu in opera? [01:34] Gourlis: it's a configuration file for x11, edit it to use the ati or radeon driver and see if that works [01:34] chuck_, i know but i don't know how to use the open source drivers. [01:34] chuck_: which is the 'ati' driver, which is what i've been telling him to use [01:34] fryguy, ok i'll let u know. [01:35] Gourlis: try the first couple of links from this: http://www.google.com/search?q=ubuntu+use+open+source+ati+driver&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=com.ubuntu:en-US:unofficial&client=firefox-a [01:35] Ok well thanks for the help everyone, I guess I gotta reinstall Ubuntu [01:35] Take it easy all. [01:36] deeb0, yep [01:36] fryguy, alright but how to go to "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" ? I mean what to type infront of it in terminal.. [01:36] Gourlis: it's a plain text file, edit it with whatever text editor you prefer [01:36] fryguy, ok i just dont know how to get there :P am newbie [01:37] gourlis, i have an old ati card on my laptop, and i had to roll back my ati driver to make it work with 8.10 [01:37] Gourlis: it's a filesystem location, just like any other file on your system [01:37] Gourlis: you can try gksudo nautilus [01:37] Gourlis: use cd to navigate through directories in terminal, or use nautilus to get to it [01:38] can someone help me install babaschess through wine [01:38] nightdrever: #winehq [01:38] .

[01:52] ...can I maybe kill the installer while it's prompting to replace a config file, and then run the installer again displaying on the x server on my other computer to finish?

[01:52] Bob_Dole: yes [01:52] Jamed: nothing works in the newer :( [01:52] p1oooop: there isn't a .samba folder. i've tried grepping my home directory for the text of the share and everything. it feels like i'ts a system wide setting, just not in the smb.conf file [01:52] mr_step: huh, then IDK... [01:53] Jamed, alright. 8.04 is fine by me. First ubuntu release I was happy with, and what prompted me to stick with 1 distro and not use Windows or OS X anymore. [01:53] p1oooop: thanks though. i've been asking in this chatroom for days now... nobody seems to know :( [01:53] mr_step: why not just create the share the normal way [01:53] using smb.conf [01:53] instead of trying to figure out a non-standard way of doing it [01:54] Bob_Dole: In 8.10 it works too [01:54] mr_step: yea... wanna get the samba developers :D [01:54] Jamed, how much longer is 8.10 supported?

[03:13] I haven't been on linux for about 2 years now thanks to having my macbook, but I'm trying to set up an old tower to use while my macbook is getting repaired. [03:13] I am running 9.04 on my Macbook. VMware is a wonderful thing! [03:13] I like the mac OS [03:14] but I wont use windows.. [03:14] unixroot, I think that you have to purge all of your flash packages except for one (the one you intend to use) === william is now known as Guest82661 [03:14] but I forgot how much I didn't enjoy having to find drivers for linux lol. [03:14] OMG problem solved, im just gonna purchase an nvidia card instead [03:15] ed - that's seems to be the consensus from everything I have found on the forums. But I don't have any other flash related programs installed. Perhaps an uninstall and a reinstall? [03:15] if you are having sound problems, go to your ALSA options and enable all those Volume COntrols like analog front, analog center and turn them all up, it should fix it. Did for me :) [03:15] cyan837, careful you're venturing into dangerous waters saying such mean things about linux ;) === Guest82661 is now known as Turtl3 [03:15] anybody know y my extra visual effects is not working? [03:16] lol eseven. I know I know.. I was a hugeee linux fan really. I still am. I just wish we could keep a complete up to date list of drivers somewhere. [03:16] unixroot, I don't really know what the problem is either. I guess reinstalling is a good a choice as anything else. I am running firefox 3.0 and the adobe-flash (proprietary) and it works (does not lock) but when I had a poor network connection it used to lock (like below 512KB/s down) [03:16] come on you cant expect Linux to have drivers for everything [03:16] Yeah Alsa works great for sound cards. [03:16] thats why its Linux and not PnP Windowa [03:16] Thanks, Ed. Will give it a shot (tomorrow!). Good night to all. [03:16] cyan837, A complete up-to-date list of drivers is a totally rediculous task in my opinion [03:16] Turt, no, but I still DO need to be able to get on the internet.. my computer is no good to me without the internet. lol [03:17] You can expect linux to have drivers for everything..you just can't expect every distro to have them. [03:17] Turtl3, im glad Linux is still "hard to use" makes it more special, will be a sad day when it's as easy as Windows. :D === gary_ is now known as Guest74339 [03:17] i guess its already easier than windows [03:17] Bob_Dole right I agree but ubuntu I was hoping would be able to have my linksys wireless driver, it is the most common wireless router out there for most people. [03:18] I think that the only hard part is installing the OS (which in reality is easier to do with linux than it is with windows) The difference is nobody has to install windows [03:18] meh. I just want to get on the internet on my computer in less than 2 weeks. That's not that much to hope for. [03:18] yea right.. LOL ed_debian [03:19] Out of 3 purchased wireless cards, and 3 tested that I didn't own.. all were atheros xD [03:19] ed_debian I disagree, I can install Gentoo in my sleep. It's getting the right drivers rounded up that's hard. [03:19] Not the same brand/model and I only find atheros o.o [03:20] I think if you gave someone a blank fresh computer and told them to install an operating system the typical windows user would be equally lost installing linux as they would windows xp or vista [03:20] ed_debian, I agree. [03:20] Don't you mean Bob Dole agrees? [03:21] Windows is a bit more confusing to install though, assuming "everything just works" on both sides [03:21] its just that people are more used to Windows and the dogma that linux is for geeks still previals here and there.. [03:21] true, but I honestly am not your average computer user. I'm just one that wants a driver lol. [03:22] Yeah! And what do windows users do on their computers? They use itunes, they use ms office, they use firefox, they play games that's pretty much it. Is any of that hard to do in linux? I don't think so [03:22] iTunes has issues under WINE. [03:22] I have a gateway laptop with a realtek wifi. it works, but when I get more than 20feet from it, the meter/icon says I have signal, but I can not communicate. why??? [03:22] its easier to do all that in linux. as i said Dogma ! the mind set. [03:23] My point is you can listen to music (amarok), type papers (Open office) etc etc [03:23] the last time i installed winXP i googled half an hour to find a sound driver [03:23] cyan837, is right though, we're off topic [03:23] ed_debian: I use windows as my main development environment, and have yet to see anything beat VS2008 + Visual Assist X for coding in C++ [03:23] cyan837: Well, you'll need to provide the make and model if you want help in finding drivers [03:23] in linux i never had this problem [03:23] when i say linux , people imagine me working with cli when i show them ubuntu, they re surprised by the gui [03:23] MS-Office..not a clue, but OpenOffice offers all the features and looks about the same, firefox is on linux. a lot of games are on linux. [03:24] hi, can someone help me set up connection to a network drive using vpnc? [03:24] last time I installed XP.. I installed linux and used lspci to find the model of sound card. [03:24] lol [03:24] Really? Why did you install xp at all? [03:24] My brother -paid- for it :/ [03:24] finding the model was not the problem [03:24] that was silly [03:24] I agree, [03:24] I'm having an issue with a Qt application I've put together. It works fine on Debian, but crashes hard when I try to build it under Ubuntu. [03:25] Does anybody know where i can find drivers for the XFX 750i sli motherboard? [03:25] i want to compile wxDFast under CodeBlocks and no matter what i do, it dosen't see my includes of wxWidgets 2.8 (and 2.6, i think wxDFast uses 2.8 though, but i told codeblocks to look in wx-2.8 and wx-2.6 in my /usr/include, could it be confused?) [03:25] I'm getting a string of QSqlQuery::value: not positioned on a valid record, followed by a malloc(): memory corruption (fast) and a backtrace [03:25] Could anyone point me in the right direction? [03:26] geeksquad, A motherboard doesn't need driver specific things on it do. (i.e. the sound card) be more specific? [03:26] There are -15- computers on this plot of land 4 run windows, and 2 of them only run it because they are laptops with busted optical drives, no network boot support, and no USB boot support. [03:26] bye all [03:26] anyone, network drive connect via vpnc assist? [03:26] i need the drivers for the network card built in to it [03:26] Quick question here. [03:27] then ask it [03:27] geeksquad, Did ubuntu recognize it? [03:27] nope not even sysinfo detects it [03:27] How do I get people interested in my bug? [03:27] how do I know if my firefox is 32 or 64 bit? [03:28] when i adjust the master volume in pulseaudio, it also adjusts the pcm volume in alsamixer, and vice versa. are these supposed to be coupled? [03:28] I am working on getting into sysadmin work. Currently work for a startup, but not as a sysadmin (yet). Would like to learn a programming language to support work. Office uses Ruby. I've been learning a different object-oriented language. Is Ruby used at all by the Linux crowd for anything other than web dev work? [03:28] anyone know off the top of their head how to force fetchmail to use ipv4? [03:28] geeksquad, ooo, sorry I don't know what to do, Try this? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hardware/Detection [03:28] agonnerman: I use Ruby for all kinds of scripting needs [03:29] in the weather applet is there a way to add your own city? [03:29] a couple people I converse with regularly are obsessed with LUA and LISP. [03:29] colonelqubitl: so nobody's going to sneer at me for using it over some other language? At least, not for the most part among linux geeks? [03:29] jorgp-home, No, it is giving you a list of weather stations that post their data. To add a city you'd have to buy / build a weather station. [03:30] I'll put forward that developing for Linux involves more stupid unnecessary tasks fighting the operating system than developing for OSX or Windows, and this contributes to an already problematic lack of drivers. [03:30] agonnerman: well if you can't handle perl or python, they will question you... and you'll have trouble modifying existing scripts. [03:30] ed_debian: that page has no useful info for me. [03:30] i want to compile wxDFast under CodeBlocks and no matter what i do, it dosen't see my includes of wxWidgets 2.8 (and 2.6, i think wxDFast uses 2.8 though, but i told codeblocks to look in wx-2.8 and wx-2.6 in my /usr/include, could it be confused?) (sorry for this big hunk of text) [03:30] agonnerman: we use capistrano for some sysadmin work [03:30] dolyb: I've been working on Python and hate to set it aside. [03:30] btw #codeblocks is a ghost town [03:30] geeksquad, Sorry :(. Not even the tools to detect hardware if hardware-manager didn't find them? [03:31] agonnerman, Python is a dream with syntax isn't it? [03:31] python 's syntax is wonderful,I like it [03:31] yeah [03:31] agonnerman: I mean, people have their "favorite" language, and you might find Perl installed on more systems than Ruby, but I think it's a crisp language. Python isn't half bad, either. [03:32] nothing detects it and i cant use the driver cd because when i try to run it with wine it says "setup already running" when it isnt [03:32] oo wow [03:32] geeksquad, Are you sure it's physically working? [03:32] I don't have the time and energy right now to work on more than one language, and I'd like to go with the one that will be best accepted. [03:32] anyone , can you assist me with vpnc and accessing network drive? [03:32] :P [03:33] ed_debian: can I borrow some money to build a weather station? [03:33] yes i am on the same computer but with a diffrent os that supports it [03:33] jorgp-home, No sorry lol. Is there not one near you? [03:33] I know in sysadmin work it isn't anywhere near as critical as it is for programmers, but I'd like to focus well. I have had a good time getting into Python. [03:33] geeksquad, Sorry man I have no idea. [03:33] Again, though, the office where I work doesn't use python. uses ruby. === aaditya is now known as IAmABot === IAmABot is now known as IAmABot007 [03:34] hi [03:34] agonnerman: honestly, I run across various bits and pieces of things when sysadmining. [03:35] agonnerman: so if you have a basic understanding of bash, perl, python, and ruby, then you'll do okay [03:35] does anybody know how to install the drivers from a windows driver cd on ubuntu === IAmABot007 is now known as aaditya [03:35] geeksquad, do you know what ndiswrapper is? [03:35] agonnerman: just jump in and start poking at some simple scripts. Start with one language at a time, then expand your knowledge as you go [03:35] geeksquad: drivers for what? === |_ocke is now known as bree [03:36] my motherboards network chip, its a XFX 750i sli [03:36] ndiswrapper lets you use windows (wifi) drivers in linux. It is a wrapper. You would need to find something similar for nic cards [03:37] thanks colonelqubit1 and everyone else. [03:37] ubuntu noob - failing to find the shared (public) folder on my wifes vista pc [03:37] Unable to mount location [03:37] monkiesatemybaby, DId you install samba? [03:37] now how do i use ndiswrapper [03:37] I'm running Ubuntu 9.04 and Firefox 3.0, I would like to get .wma files to play "in the background". What happens right now, if I use the Movie or VLC plug in, it open the download windown and the player and plays it. I don't want any of that. [03:38] just installed samba and rebooted [03:38] geeksquad: your network card should work out of the box without installing a hardware [03:38] geeksquad, it's a package. And it has a gtk front-end but it only works for wifi drivers [03:38] (certain ones at that) just get it from the repos [03:38] but this one doesent [03:38] monkiesatemybaby, open a terminal and run smbtree [03:39] i sdone [03:39] all it says in XP is that is a NVIDIA nForce network controller [03:39] i see her pc [03:39] geeksquad, I once had a system that when the system shut down the driver for my nic freaked out and when the system rebooted the nic was totally gone. [03:40] geeksquad: let's start with dmesg output [03:40] Try killing the power on your system at any point (i suggest early in the boot process to avoid problems) That's what used to get my nic back [03:40] monkiesatemybaby, man samba [03:40] when i adjust the master volume in pulseaudio, it also adjusts the pcm volume in alsamixer, and vice versa. are these supposed to be coupled? [03:40] it says Failed to retrieve share list from server [03:41] hello everyone. how can i burn mp3 in k3b? [03:41] geeksquad: if you could pastebin the output of `dmesg`. A simple way to do so is `dmesg | pastebinit ` [03:41] is brasaro burner messed up? [03:41] annaimkonki: there's a plugin in k3b that allows you to deal with mp3 [03:41] man samba?? [03:41] monkiesatemybaby, You're setting up a samba client https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSamba [03:42] ok [03:42] nop [03:42] aaditya: whats it called? [03:42] np* [03:42] well i also have a wifi card installed that does have drivers on linux but wifi is painstakingly slow. but i will reboot and see if it works [03:42] annaimkonki: looking for it [03:42] thanks [03:42] brb [03:43] !info libk3b3-extracodecs | annaimkonki [03:43] annaimkonki: libk3b3-extracodecs (source: k3b): The KDE cd burning application library - extra decoders. In component main, is optional. Version 1.0.5+kde4svn935857+really1.0.5-3ubuntu5 (jaunty), package size 17 kB, installed size 108 kB [03:43] annaimkonki: install the package above and restart k3b [03:45] Hi, I recently formatted a hard drive and I can't do anything to it because it was created by root. [03:46] korjata, What are you trying to do? [03:46] Can anyone help me? When linux tries to play sounds, all I hear is static. [03:46] ok thanks! :) [03:46] korjata, This harddrive is formatted ext3? [03:46] ed_debian: just normal operations, writing files, making folders. [03:46] ed_debian: fat32 [03:47] the1corrupted: can you hear test sounds in sound prefs [03:47] korjata, So you want this as extra /home space sorta? [03:47] tuxxy__ That's just it. It's all static. [03:47] fat32?!?! [03:47] where do you guys get audacious skins? :D [03:47] the1corrupted: try setting sound playback to ALSA? [03:47] still doesn't work... it wants me to convert the mp3 files [03:48] annaimkonki: did you restart k3b? [03:48] ed_debian: I have two hd's in my box and I formatted the second. Now I can't do anything. Should I reformat the drive as something else? [03:48] yes [03:48] I have a realtek 8187b. its working, but when I get like 20 feet from it, the network Icon says I have signal, but I can not communicate, cant even log on to the router. [03:48] why [03:48] !prefix | annaimkonki [03:48] annaimkonki: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [03:48] annaimkonki: Do you want to make an audio cd or a data cd with mp3s? [03:48] Detrix: Can you ping your router? [03:49] geirha: audio cd [03:49] korjata, It is important to understand your file-system a little bit when you want to add space to it. I believe that you're going to use this second drive sort of like extra space for your personal things (i.e. not system files) is this correct? [03:49] No you don't necessarily need to repartition [03:49] I once used a IRC client where tab didn't work and it made me sad :( [03:49] tiyowan: I am currenly close enough I should, I will try now. [03:49] ed_debian: yes. [03:49] tuxxy__: That's not the problem. Alsa sees it, it used to work, but something got fubar'ed in the mix, and now it doesn't work. Is there a way to "reset" the sound card? It has nothing to do with the drivers (which I reinstalled), but everything in how Linux interfaces with the sound card. [03:49] i did it before w/ 8.04 but this is 9.10 and brasero normalizes the track forever [03:49] Does anyone know if ATI Radeon X1300 cards are supported by proprietary drivers? Or only open source? [03:49] korjata, Is the harddrive mounted automatically? [03:50] ed_debian: I believe so. [03:50] barqers Proprietary only. [03:50] tiyowan: at the moment I can. I will have to wait until tomorrow to try it elsewhere. [03:50] korjata, In "computer" if you double click (open) the drive does it tell you "You're not privilaged to mount this shit" or does it open and show nothing (cause the disk is empty) [03:50] the1corrupted: Howcome I don't get the "new hardware" thing that I usually get upon a fresh install of ubuntu, and doesn't allow me to install proprietary drivers? [03:51] How fast have the Open drivers been developing since AMD opened up the specs to their cards? [03:51] barqers I don't know. Perhaps it doesn't see it. Occasionally, a reboot may be required. Unless you tried that. [03:51] how do i use chmod to stop users from accessing certain folders? [03:51] ok i reread that page but perhaps im thick... if i go to places>network it shows my pc, her pc, and windows network. ican go through windows network to her pc as well, but in either case when i doubleclick her pc icon it says Unable to mount location Failed to retrieve share list from server [03:51] !chmod | chez [03:51] chez: An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview [03:52] chez, chown changes the owner on a file [03:52] Detrix: Okay...and what happens when you ping any website? [03:52] ed_debian: It's empty and it's already mounted. [03:52] chez: remove execute permission from the directory [03:52] korjata, Well that's good, one step down [03:52] tiyowan: you should get a reply from that website [03:52] her pc has a public folder that i could read with windows xp ab hour ago [03:52] if you hit the up (not the back the up) where do you land? [03:52] dhendrix: WIll i still be able to access it? [03:53] tiyowan: it works but I will have to try tomorrow when I can get further away from the router [03:53] korjata, Should be /media/"something" [03:53] ed_debian: media. [03:53] aaditya: Yes, I know. :) Question was for Detrix. [03:53] korjata, Have you used the terminal before? Do you know what the cd command does? [03:53] barqers You could always go to System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers [03:53] korjata: Did you add an entry for it in /etc/fstab? [03:53] monkiesatemybaby: when you see "Unable to mount", trying again usually fixes the problem [03:54] ed_debian: yep the cd command changes the directory [03:54] awesome [03:54] Detrix: Oh, so you're not near the router you are having problems with right now? [03:54] open a terminal change to /media [03:54] ed_debian: I don't know what that is. [03:54] tried about 20 times now after mutual reboots etc [03:54] i need help with gtk-gnutella [03:54] chez: Yeah. Just remove execute permission for "group" and "other" permissions. Try "chmod go-x foo" [03:54] korjata, You don't know what a terminal is? [03:54] when i adjust the master volume in pulseaudio, it also adjusts the pcm volume in alsamixer, and vice versa. are these supposed to be coupled? [03:54] ed_debian: I know that. [03:54] the1corrupted: It says "No proprietary drivers are in use on this system" [03:54] lol [03:54] the internet connection goes thru her pc and i didnt have to set it up ayt all it worked as soon as i got ubuntu installed [03:54] ed_debian: not the /etc/fstab. [03:55] anyone know how to update/upgrade gnutella? [03:55] gtk gnutella? [03:55] tiyowan: I am near the router now which is why its working. its when I move about 20feet away from the router that I have problems [03:55] I cant connect [03:55] ed_debian: k I typed cd /media. [03:55] barqers: I remember getting that problem once, but it was cleared up with a clean reboot. [03:55] korjata, That wasn't me. I know what it is though /etc/fstab tells ubuntu how to mount the various filesystems it might encounter. It is a config file [03:55] korjata ls what is in /media [03:55] ed_debian: you download music? [03:56] sjokkis: yes, that is default. if you want to stop it, open volume control, and click the chain link under the control that you want to unlink [03:56] tiyowan: I suppose I could wonder around a bit a try pinging the router. [03:56] white_, I have. Why? [03:56] ed_debian: im looking for a program to download music [03:56] white_, Use torrents [03:56] transmission [03:56] ed_debian: that takes awhile doesnt it? [03:57] Here's a general question... Why are there so many unreadable files in my /dev dir? [03:57] Detrix: Hmm...if it works when you're near the router, but not when you move away, then it would seem that there is a problem in the transmission of the signal. [03:57] white_, Only becuase you typically download 1 gb of data. [03:57] robdig: doesn't that merely decouple the left and right channels? [03:57] ed_debian: cdrom, cdrom0, floppy, floppy0, local disk (the one I want), and portable disk. [03:57] cd into local disk [03:57] any other thoughts on how i can get to the 150 GB of crunchy info i backed up on my wifes pc be4 i installed ubuntu? [03:57] the1corrupted: did you check your PCM volume in gnome-volume-control [03:57] sjokkis: hmm, you may be right. [03:58] korjata, then sudo mkdir "a folder" [03:58] robdig: i tried and that's what happened [03:58] tuxxy__ Volume's fine. I use VMWare to put up a Windows Machine. My comp froze and I had to reboot so VMWare wasn't shut down properly. Now sounds work in my VM but not in Linux. [03:59] ed_debian: done [03:59] tiyowan: yes this is what has been confusing me. I thought that a wifi signal could go about or at least 100feet. but I am beginning to wonder [03:59] sudo chown korjata a folder (replace what seems obvious lol) [03:59] actually [03:59] lmao [03:59] this is silly [04:00] cd to /media [04:00] ed_debian: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:00] !enter [04:00] Detrix: Have you tried using another computer to connect to router from a distance? [04:00] Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [04:00] and simply sudo chown korjata local\ disk [04:00] korjata, Sorry about that idk what I was thinking [04:00] ed_debian: type in my desktop name where korjata is? [04:01] tuxxy__: There's also a ton of unreadable files in my /dev/ directory... [04:01] yeah type your username (idk what it is) [04:02] would the xrandr command return hardware based results or would it be based on the xconf file? [04:02] ed_debian: I would hope not. done. [04:02] korjata, lol [04:02] the1corrupted: sounds like a vmware issue check sound config in that, uninstall vmware could be an option - virtualbox is very good also [04:02] So chown changes the owner of a file [04:02] My YouTube video jumps around. Sound is great. [04:02] ok ive decided im not informed enogh for linux yet...ill try a dual boot system for a while and see if i catch on [04:02] tiyowan: sorry was taking the laptop for a walk [04:02] the owner of a file has full permission [04:03] so you should be able to open your "local disk" now and for example create a folder [04:03] does anyone know how i can find Nautilus? or what it is? [04:03] who in here is from UK or is it just me [04:03] monkiesatemybaby, You just tried to tackle one of the largest and most complicated systems (samba) don't fret [04:03] stealth-, I thought it based its readouts to the connection to xserver I could be wrong [04:03] i have instructions that say: Start up Nautilus and go to Edit--->Preferences and select the Media tab. [04:03] tuxxy__ VMWare pulls the "auto detect" card... [04:03] joanki123: nataulis is the file browser that gnome uses. [04:03] ed_debian: Lol, I forgot to capitalize [04:03] oh did i? [04:03] stealth-, how do i start it? [04:03] lol [04:03] can anyone tell me how to fix the multimedia keyboard in xubuntu? [04:04] tiyowan: only other computer I have to try with is an xp maching [04:04] joanki123: run the command, open a directory in gnome, etc [04:04] ed_debian: It says operation not permitted.

[04:06] coz_: okay, thanks anyways. Is there a way I could check to see the hardware maximum? [04:06] Hm... i also have this: Right click on Applications and select Edit Menus. This will bring up the Main Menu window [04:06] i don't see Applications in this menu [04:06] monkiesatemybaby, I think nobody really knows / wants to tackle samba right now [04:06] ed_debian: name@name-desktop:/media$ sudo chown name Local\ Disk [04:07] deal [04:07] can anyone tell me how to fix the multimedia keyboard in xubuntu? [04:07] monkiesatemybaby: what's up with samba?

I forgot about that *facepalm*. Thanks [04:07] nm i figured it out [04:07] vasy: I believe its suppose to do that. [04:08] good evening [04:08] thanks for your help stealth- [04:08] joanki123: np [04:08] stealth-, :) quickly reading it looks like your questions should be answered there in some detail:) [04:08] detrix: I selected the option to shutdown when its too low.. but its not actually working.. I am using jaunty [04:08] coz_: k [04:08] I have a question about ubuntu [04:08] hey people, every time i want to change the third part repository in synaptic , i've the little window "repositories changed" [04:09] why not ubuntu and windows? [04:09] and i can't do anything [04:09] korjata, I have just learned (google told me) that fat and ntfs don't support linux/unix persmissions (like chown) which is why you cannot change them! [04:09] ed_debian: Then what should I change it to? [04:10] ed_debian: I have nothing on there so it doesn't matter. [04:10] detrix: any help would be appreciated? [04:10] korjata, We have 2 options 1 re-format to ext3 (pretty file-system) or we could edit /etc/fstab to allow you to write to your "Local\ Disk" via options when mounting [04:10] vasy: I have not really needed to change my battery settings. Jauntry should be pretty well set up to do it properly [04:10] ed_debian: ext3 [04:10] stealth-, of course...if anything like me... it helps if someone is regularly using this to kind of frame the possiblities in a smaller explanation than a "man" page :) [04:10] brb! [04:10] vasy: so I am not the best person to help [04:10] korjata, ok. I'll be ready and waiting when you get back. [04:10] detrix: thanks.. [04:11] Original: thats considered trolling, and isnt really a support question. maybe you'll get a better answer in #ubuntu-offtopic [04:11] stealth-, for that kind of synopsys I move over to the #linux channel [04:11] detrix: I will search it in the net [04:11] coz_: :) [04:11] how can i purge the sources.list in synaptic? [04:12] darkham, you want to get rid of it? [04:12] hey, my thumb drive has seemed to stop auto-mounting, what do I have to edit to make it do it again? My disc media /will/ auto mount, but no USB devices [04:12] that sounds like a bad idea [04:13] s/no/not [04:13] Decessus, try restarting hald [04:13] dft I have [04:13] hmm, okay [04:13] hello, I have a dell laptop, the wireless used to work, but now it doesnt. is there a way to completly remove the network settings? to bring network back to a fresh install state? [04:13] darkham, or do you want a default sources list? [04:13] Decessus, Did you pull the drive before unmounting? [04:13] coz_:i want to solve a problem i have in synaptic: every time i want to load the screen when i can edit the repos, i've the screen "repositories changed" [04:13] ed_debian, no, never do [04:13] ed_debian: K it's all done and I ran the command and it all works now. [04:14] darkham, mm [04:14] That was fast! [04:14] darkham, any other errors? [04:14] korjata, Good job. Any other problems? [04:14] coz_:not [04:14] I can manually mount it fine, but then I need root access to add files [04:14] Decessus, sudo /etc/init.d/dev restart? === elpargo_ is now known as elpargo [04:15] coz__ a little bit strange, is the screen after adding a repo, but i haven't change anithing [04:15] darkham, try sudo rm -rf /var/cache/apt/pkgcache.bin srcpkgcache.bin you may have to do those separately [04:15] ed_debian: just a problem in rtorrent that I'm asking in their irc. I don't think there are any others. [04:15] can anyone assist with ubuntu dial up issues? [04:15] korjata, Ok [04:16] ed_debian, command not found ;\ [04:16] ed_debian: I transferred a 13 gigabyte folder to my local disk from my linux hd. It had no file transfer, is that normal? [04:17] coz_: nothing is changed.... [04:17] no something is wrong there [04:17] go look at the folder is it all there? [04:17] coz_: i don't know what to do.. [04:17] darkham, mm is this a default sources.list or have you added repos to it? [04:17] ed_debian: yep, but i did take the files from there... [04:17] and the video works perfectly. [04:18] does anyone know a good hardware-help channel? [04:18] korjata, You transferred 13GB of data from one harddrive to another in less than a second? [04:18] coz_: i've added other repos, but things like the kubuntu repos for kde4, the deluge repo, xbmc repos, nothing more [04:18] ed_debian: yes and my computer is older than dirt. [04:18] hello, I have a dell laptop, the wireless used to work, but now it doesnt. is there a way to completly remove the network settings? to bring network back to a fresh install state? [04:18] darkham, and this happens in sysnapitc or add remove? [04:18] ed_debian: miracle... [04:18] korjata, It's a miracle!!! [04:19] ed_debian: !!! [04:19] darkham, synaptic sorry [04:19] coz_:this issue i have, it's from today and i don't have added nothing in the last 2 weeks [04:19] korjata, !! lol, idk. Are you sure it isn't a symlink or something? [04:19] coz_: in synaptic gui [04:19] ed_debian: symlink? [04:20] coz_: i can load only preferencies [04:20] korjata, If you click on any file in you have the option to "make link" they're like shortcuts in windows [04:20] darkham, ok go into synaptic Serrings Repositories Third party tab and disable the added repos [04:20] sorry to interrupt... [04:20] softlinks simply point to a file in another place, hardlinks are exact full copies (if you change one they both change) [04:20] i am installing ubuntu from CD [04:20] darkham, synaptic...settings...repositories...Third party tab [04:20] but it is asking for username and password.... [04:20] coz_: i can't load the screen , is this my problem [04:20] oh! [04:21] ed_debian: nope, drag and drop. Btw I have only a 700 mhz processor and 768 m of ram. [04:21] what username and password can i give? [04:21] root/toor [04:21] darkham, ok sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [04:21] virgo girls [04:21] darkham, comment the added repos [04:21] darkham, save and try again [04:21] coz_: ok [04:21] Even the fastest processor in the world would take some time because of disk i/o but if the files are there they're there [04:22] It was probably because the files WERE there. [04:22] korjata, In the spirit of blind faith lets not question the miracles of the lord lol [04:22] lol. [04:22] korjata, maybe [04:22] ed_debian: I wonder if anyone here knows of miracles. [04:23] hi, I installed java6-jre, but facebook's games don't play [04:23] Meh. Did Gnome ever release a fix for AisleRiot Spider Solitaire for many to-be-Ubuntu moms out there? [04:23] korjata, You mean besides the one we just discovered on your system? [04:23] what do I need to do to get this to work ? [04:23] ed_debian: well knows how they are caused. [04:23] korjata, Maybe! Idk [04:23] coz_: nothing is changed... [04:24] hello so anyone available? [04:24] darkham, I am puzzled then I will had you over to others here sorry guy [04:24] coz_: it's very strange... [04:24] ed_debian: my computer can barely play videos, I don't know how. lemme try another file. [04:24] poboy975: Ask the real question. [04:25] hello, I have a dell laptop, the wireless used to work, but now it doesnt. is there a way to completly remove the network settings? to bring network back to a fresh install state? [04:25] ed_debian: when I drag and drop it disappears from one and goes to the other as if they were one. [04:25] darkham, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/113424 [04:25] wow, instantly? [04:25] sup all [04:25] poboy975: You sure it's not a laptop's wireless switch? Laptop often have them. [04:25] So, installing Xen... I'm assuming I need to do something in command line to install it? I don't see anything in the GUI Add/Remove for actually installing xen, just a gui to manage it [04:25] ed_debian: you know how you can put a file into a subfolder instantly? [04:25] sudo apt-get install xen ? [04:26] korjata, O, yes I know what you mean. Moving files around on a single disk never takes anytime. It is acting as if they are the same disk? [04:26] !xen [04:26] XEN is a virtual machine monitor for x86 that supports execution of multiple guest operating systems with unprecedented levels of performance and resource isolation. Information on installing it for Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xen [04:27] i am having a problem with a client that request and drop dhcp leases every 2-3 minutes.. what can cause this? [04:27] ed_debian: maybe it's because they're the same filesystem. [04:27] korjata, How full is "Local Disk" ? [04:27] the lease expire time is 24hours [04:27] Is there a command line to tell me version of Ubuntu on this PC I am using? [04:27] Fezzler: lsb_release -a [04:27] yeah, the laptop wireless is on, but the driver is not loading correctly. I've tried the b43legacy driver, it connects to wireless ap but signel isnt right, doesnt actually work [04:27] ed_debian: 19 gigs but the files are 13 [04:28] Hello [04:28] I also tried the ndiswrapper but its not working either. my iwconfig shows a wmaster0, and a wlan0 [04:28] so it is mostly full [04:28] korjata, open gparted [04:28] lstarnes, Jauty [04:28] I am. [04:28] poboy975: What's model? I'll try and google around on Ubuntu community. [04:29] ed_debian: says 621 megs are used [04:29] korjata, on local-disk? [04:29] Using Xchat. Where do I change color for my user I - light gray now - hard to see [04:29] it was using the broadcom 1400 dell [04:29] ed_debian: yep sdb [04:30] I was wondering if there is a way to reset the network completly back to fresh install setting [04:30] korjata, So obviously something is wrong because it should be 13gb used 6(ish)GB free yes? [04:30] Fezzler: Look in XChat Menu --> System --> Preferences --> Colors ("Under Interface") [04:30] ed_debian: it's 30 gigs but yeah. [04:30] o ok [04:31] korjata, What is the mount-point of sdb? [04:31] mobi-sheep>> Txs [04:31] hi. I bought a USB HDD enclosure, that powers down automatically when it's not in use. Unfortunately ubuntu drops it from the file system whenever it does that, and I can't get it back. Anybody know how I can fix this? [04:31] korjata, Does it show up that /dev/sdb is 30GB? [04:31] ed_debian: media/localdisk [04:31] ed_debian: 27.95 [04:31] quitenormal: remount it? [04:31] colonelqubit doesn't seem to appear in nautilus. [04:32] korjata, Do you have a /media/localdisk and a /media/Local\ Disk? [04:32] any ideas on where to get a drive for a dell gx260 video card so that I can use compiz? [04:32] ed_debian: I don't think so. [04:32] go to /media and double check? [04:32] quitenormal: but the drive is still getting power? [04:32] i have a problem with my webcam [04:33] ed_debian: I have a local disk and a portable disk but that's something else. [04:33] colonelqubit yeah the drive is in a USB enclosure, and is still getting power ... if I switch it off, and then back on again, it reappears in the filesystem. [04:33] ed_debian: I got a 320 external. [04:33] i can't install my webcam.. is a genius messenger 112 [04:33] quitenormal: so you want it to wake-on-use? [04:33] mobi-sheep>> I'm in Xchat Setting, Preferences, Interface, Colors - but which setting changes my ID? [04:33] colonelqubit yes, that's the hope. [04:34] ed_debian: can we continue this tomorrow? it's quite late here. [04:34] mobi-sheep>> Must be "Local colors" [04:34] Fezzler: Look at the color that you don't like. [04:34] quitenormal: yeah, I don't have any USB drives like that, so I'm not sure if that's supported by Ubuntu. Have you tried it under Windows and had the wake-on-use work? [04:34] korjata, o sorry. Sure I can't guarantee I'l be here but I'll try. Same time tomorrow? [04:34] What time is it there? [04:34] mobi-sheep>> Yup [04:34] it is 10:34 here [04:34] colonelqubit no I haven't tried it under windows. Don't think I have a windows handy anywhere currently, alas. :( [04:35] (pm) [04:35] quitenormal: good for you! (of course, it does come in handy when trying to diagnose hardware like this...) [04:36] mobi-sheep>> Hmm [04:36] I get home at 7pm GMT [04:36] lets see I'm 6+ GMT === Miguel is now known as Guest66143 [04:37] :( [04:37] mobi-sheep>> Test [04:37] so that's 1 [04:37] lol [04:37] yeah [04:37] I can get on from then on. [04:37] I'll try lol [04:37] I'm not making any promises [04:37] Ok, bye ed. [04:37] bye korjata [04:37] tes === concerta_ is now known as virgo [04:38] how do i install a font? [04:39] how can i dir in to the trash folder ? [04:39] colonelqubit how would it help? Work out whether the device actually can wake-on-use in XP? Rule out the device being faulty? [04:39] !fonts | FFForever [04:39] FFForever: Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash?

I erased it by mistake and dont know how to put it back [04:40] quitenormal: yes. I just wanted to make sure that this hardware could in fact wake up [04:40] sysadmin, add a gnome-notification applet [04:40] colonelqubit might try and work that out then. Thanks. [04:40] ed_debian, no such file or dir [04:40] quitenormal: you could try googling for "usb wake up" + the hardware name, too. [04:40] sysadmin, "notification area" [04:40] quitenormal: good luck! [04:40] gparted isn't letting me label a fat32 thumb drive i have :[ any ideas why? [04:40] colonelqubit at least the device switches off ... so I'm in no danger of my HD burning out if I accidentally leave it on. That's something. [04:40] ed_debian, could you be more specific [04:41] the option is greyed out, drive is unmounted [04:41] hi, I installed kubuntu desktop using aptitude install kubuntu-desktop on top of my vanilla Ibex install and I can't seem to remove it. I already tried aptitude remove kubuntu-desktop [04:41] Dreamglider, o, you're right. I don't know :( [04:41] sysadmin, You have a gnome-panel?> [04:41] quitenormal: yeah, I was having a problem with ubuntu not actually turning off when I shut down the computer. Luckily I never tossed my laptop into my backpack after doing that.... could have been an oven in there. [04:41] cd .. [04:41] cd .. [04:42] oops wrong window [04:42] Dreamglider, cd /home/.Trash? [04:42] nevermind [04:42] ed_debian, it's not in home either [04:42] I'm having suspend/hibernation problems and I filed a bug about a month ago (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/366264) but haven't gotten any responses or requests for more information. What should I do next? [04:43] Dreamglider, Yeah I'm sorry I just don't know :( lol, I tried though! [04:43] i have a couple of files in trash i cant get rid of [04:44] Dreamglider, I think restarting will empty trash? [04:44] ed_debian, the files have been there for weeks [04:44] Dreamglider, I should really stop talking out of my butt here [04:44] lol [04:45] in nautilus the location is trash:/// [04:45] hehe yea sometimes it's just best to shut it. [04:45] Dreamglider: are the perms set such that you can't delete them? [04:46] mobi-sheep>> Got it! [04:46] colonelqubit, yes [04:46] Dreamglider, unset the permissions so you can delete them then :) [04:47] colonelqubit, and i cannot change the perms they are grayed out [04:47] Dreamglider, see at ~/.local/share/Trash [04:48] how can I restore wireless connection icon? I erased it by mistake and dont know how to put it back [04:48] U2GB, thanks mate. [04:48] Dreamglider, find ~/.local/share/Trash ! -user "$USER" -exec sudo rm -iv {} \; [04:49] Fezzler: Good. :) [04:50] mobi-sheep>> Actually under Settings, Advanced, Text Handlers [04:50] mobi-sheep>> make that Text Events [04:51] sysadmin: you'd need to add 'nm-applet' to your startup programs in gnome [04:51] #join python [04:51] whats the difference between fstab/mstab? [04:51] /join #python [04:52] when i am doing fresh installation, it is asking for username and password to login.... [04:52] i am giving root, toor [04:52] and many more usernames passowrds, but it is not working [04:52] any solution please.... [04:52] Decessus, one contains a mapping of devices to mountpoints for mount to use, the other contains the list of devices currently mounted and where they are mounted at. [04:52] please help me.... [04:53] what username and password should i use.... [04:53] is there any default user [04:53] ehtesh, boot up in recovery mode and create a new user. [04:53] ehtesh: during the install process it asks you for a username and password. use that [04:53] i will try it.... [04:53] ehtesh: (it asks you to _create_ a user, I should say) [04:54] colonelqubit, that's all good if the person installing .. remembers what it was called :) [04:55] unop_: yeah, writing it down isn't a bad idea [04:56] unop_: I mean, if this is a new install, then we're only talking about an hour max between creating the user and logging in as them, eh? [04:56] I dont have any OS on my Hard disk... [04:57] and i am trying to install [04:57] a new OS [04:57] ehtesh, you mean the live CD session is asking you to log on? [04:57] ehtesh: enter isn't puncuation. [04:57] I am having trouble booting from a bootable DVD [04:57] it tells me boot image not found [04:57] i think it is Live CD, but i am selecting start or install option [04:58] Amer: have u set ur bios to boot from your cd/dvd drive? [04:58] but i dont have any punctuations [04:58] yes... [04:58] unop_, ok, thank you, then would adding my usb device to mstab auto-mount it when I plug it in? [04:58] ehtesh: Is this a regular ubuntu Live CD, or an alternate install CD? [04:58] it is booting from CD, for installation, but it is asking for username and passwd [04:58] yes I set it to boot from the DVD.. it tells me the boot image was not found,, then displays "boot:" [04:58] that's all I get [04:59] it is Install CD , i beleave, i got a copy from my friend... [04:59] and /only/ when I plug it in, because adding to auto tag to it in fstab mounts it again after I physically unmount it [04:59] Amer: you can try two things... try the alternate disk or burn the disk at a slower speed [04:59] Amer: have you tried another DVD? [04:59] i have only one CD... [04:59] and nothing else... [04:59] the DVD I made boots from my other computer, but not this one.. [04:59] Decessus, well, you should never edit /etc/mtab directly .. you need /etc/fstab for that - but doing so doesn't guarantee that the device is automatically mounted, you just ensure that if it is, it is mounted where you want it to be. [05:00] it is going upto log-in ... [05:00] Amer: then you might want to try the alternate disk [05:00] i have'nt doen anything from OS...bcz i can not at all login.... [05:00] what's the alternate disk? "I burned the 9.05 iso from the website" [05:01] i too think so, but as i dont have any alternative, i want to know how can we use this CD... [05:01] unop_, ok, well is there something I /can/ edit to /ensure/ my device gets auto-mounted? It was working well and fine up until yesterday. [05:01] any default username and password ubuntu has? [05:01] Amer: hold on lemme find it [05:01] yep [05:02] How do you install a module? [05:02] can someone help me install/upgrade to rhythmbox-0.12.2, http://paste.ubuntu.com/185385/ [05:02] I have a driver file for something, but I can't remember the process of installing it. [05:02] modprobe? [05:02] thanks!! [05:02] Amer: go to http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors#mirrors and scroll down to alternate installers [05:03] Decessus, well, the gnome-mount process should automatically take care of that [05:03] Amer: you'll have to go through the install process through a text based installer [05:04] unop_, I know it should, and it used to. But now, it has stopped working. It will auto-mount my disc media, but no usb storage media [05:06] but it is also a text based installation CD... [05:07] my concern is to break this mystery of username ans password issue to work [05:07] i googled and found many people got this kind of problem... [05:07] sure, I'll do that! [05:07] ehtesh: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=770206 [05:07] thanks for the help crzyboi <-- I don't know why the "/msg" doesn't work!

[05:09] what do i type in at the boot: prompt to boot a ubuntu jaunty installation [05:09] my damn grub is broken [05:09] i need to get back into ubuntu to fix it [05:11] wigglez you can either use a live cd to repair it, or you can boot from hard drive via the live cd [05:11] nah the MBR is broken on my HD [05:11] other than that it'd be really hard to fix it, you'd have to edit the grub menu in the grub bootup [05:11] i need to repair the mbr somehow [05:12] can you not re-install grub? [05:12] nah, i should be able to boot into the system at the boot prompt and then just run grub-setup once inside [05:12] i just dont know what the correct boot line would be [05:13] * alvarezp is away: [05:14] I can't really help without your grub menu though :p [05:15] wiggles message me privately [05:15] wiggles i can give you the correct line [05:15] that works too :p [05:16] crzyboi: thanks for it, i think i have to go for another CD....i.e new image [05:17] zenxr, try suggesting sudo apt-get install pastebinit and then pastebinit /boot/grub/menu.lst [05:17] and i think the existing one will not work [05:17] hey guys .. im tryin 2 build a small repo for my lan here .. but wen i run apt-mirror it keeps giving me this error in cat /var/spool/apt-mirror/var/archive-log.2 [05:17] 4m53s till the end (soob soob) [05:17] Connecting to archive.ubuntu.com|91.189.88.40|:80... failed: Connection timed out.

[05:31] hey [05:31] KDewhirst: I'm not entirely sure what defines 'urgent' but if it's in the window information, try checking with xwininfo [05:31] dsl579, make sure you type the directory name correctly, rm -r is irreversible [05:31] does anybody else have problems with firefox in full screen mode?

[05:42] relentless: You don't. You want to add the mount command in sudoers to a list which username is allowed to run without needing password. [05:42] KDewhirst, its a thumb drive, I don't want it to constantly be mounted, only when I insert it, and I want it to stay unmounted when I unmount it. [05:42] SnowKitty: if you don't have it, the package name is simple-ccsm [05:43] SnowKitty, ATI does not support compiz as of yet, they say that by june they will......

[05:57] So, I totally just installed xen on my system..and X broke. in a way that prevents me from getting to a virtual terminal, and running xfix from the recovery mode thing doesn't help. [05:57] Greyed out? [05:57] so i've started building this thing, can you give me a rough estimate of time? [05:57] or just missing [05:57] sagaci: no. [05:57] tiyowan: how can i get that on hardy [05:57] sagaci: there are too many factors. it'll take longer than you want to wait, though [05:58] 2 hours? [05:58] sagaci: it could easily be a lot more than that [05:58] sere: Um...you want to get the latest kernel on hardy? [05:58] sarah, i used wicd to find wifi connections but it unloads network-manager in order to run. [05:58] I should probably get to backing stuff up and then just flat out format and reinstall. [05:58] tiyowan: should i not? [05:58] sagaci: why do you want the newer version? [05:58] can i abort the build without screwing things up [05:58] test it out [05:58] darlek: Already tried wicd but I cannot run it [05:58] Bob_Dole: why don't you just pick a vanilla linux kernel from grub? [05:59] oh...odd [05:59] KDewhirst: I did [05:59] sere: It's better if you just let it update to newer kernels by itself. [05:59] Bob_Dole: then you can just apt-get remove xen [05:59] Hey guys, I'm having a problem that I hope someone could help me out with. I went to change my default shell using CLI from bourne to bash by using the following command "sudo usermod -s /bin/bash username". I logged out and upon logging back into my account I received a permission denied error. Is there something that I have done wrong? I'm using Ubuntu Desktop 9.04. Thanks in advance. [06:00] KDewhirst: I did...I have no idea what broke, but something did. I've gone so far as to make a new install over the old one, once fg..whatever the ati drive is was installed, x quit working again. [06:00] Myrtti: can i abort it? [06:00] tiyowan: 6.24-23 is whats its telling me to upgrade too...sound right [06:00] Bob_Dole: what a mess. I don't know how to help you [06:00] To be clear: I can configure the network connections from /etc/network/interfaces, I can see the networks with iwlist. I just cannot configure & choose the connections from the network manager [06:00] or the icon in the desktop toolbar [06:01] sagaci: you can kill the compile if you want [06:01] (there I see no configured connections) [06:01] it's finished, only took 10 minutes [06:01] roughly [06:01] need to run as root? [06:01] sagaci: you're not doing something crazy like compiling into /bin/, are you? [06:01] KDewhirst: Yeah, I figured it'd be a confusing mess, so backing up, then a fresh format and reinstall is my best option, and I'll make a backup with acronis when I get home later @.@ [06:01] sagaci: sure [06:01] Bob_Dole: good luck [06:01] sere: Sounds about right - synaptic'll auto-update the kernel for you. You won't be using the latest kernel, but that's because of stability issues. [06:01] I'm supposed to wake up in 5 hours.

[06:05] network manager was giving odd errors when I upgraded, and it was just the firewall blocking ports that enabled during the upgrade [06:05] I have not [06:05] * x^code^x permisi mo isi perut bang... [06:05] (Sarah), then reinstall via aptitude and if there are any conflicts it will give you options to correct. apt-get and synaptic don't do that [06:05] darlek: now yes, as it conflicted with wicd. But the problem was there before that.

Already uninstalled it :-/ [06:12] hi sarah [06:12] Sarah, no that's okay [06:12] it conflicts with nm anyway [06:12] apitude has a really neet and detailed interface [06:12] Speech fully disabled.

[06:12] thanks [06:12] can anybody help me through some network issues? when i try to connect wireless, i get plenty of signal and i SHOULD be connecting, but it doesn't work anywhere. i checked my dns settings, they're all fine i think. when i /etc/init.d/networking restart, it sometimes says "Ignoring unknown interface wlan0=wlan0". any ideas? [06:12] parker-fcnyu: are you in Gnome/KDE/xfce? [06:12] also: this is new. for a long time everything was working completely fine [06:12] parker-fcnyu: is your radio off [06:12] Myrtti, Gnome [06:12] SmithKurosaki, i don't believe so! [06:12] !netsplit [06:12] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other.

And... it's quite late here. So I'm probably coming back tomorrow. Many thanks for your help. [06:13] Myrtti, what's the best way to do that? just killing the process and restarting it? [06:13] parker-fcnyu: sudo /etc/init.d/NetworkManager restart [06:13] oh, that's easy enough. [06:14] I love that Xorg is eating half my CPU for no apparent reason [06:14] at the same time as this problem started (inexplicably) i also started getting system hangs, wherein the caps-lock led flashed, and even the magic sysrq keys wouldn't fix it. think that might be related? [06:15] parker-fcnyu: if that doesn't help, then would you pastebin what your "sudo lshw -c network" outputs [06:15] parker-fcnyu: could be [06:15] parker-fcnyu: (I trust you can use pastebin) [06:15] ok, Myrtti , i'm going to try that. i'll be back in this room in a few! === chaky_ is now known as chaky [06:15] Myrtti, you betca.

It just scans for available drivers forever and then does nothing [06:15] Myrtti, shouldnt that be "sudo lshw -C network" [06:16] relentless: u can use sync ur music with rhythmbox [06:16] it was a while ago, but it was weird because my radio was off, and was still picking up some of the signals, but it wasnt consistant enough [06:16] rikki_max: I mean put the linux OS on an Ipod [06:16] Anacranom: works either way in my jaunty [06:16] oh yeah it can be done [06:16] I dont know how [06:16] Maybe in PM you can show me? [06:16] just use ur ipod as a usb drive [06:16] ipodlinux.org is down [06:17] well idk my self but i am sure there is a great tut on how to [06:17] Myrtti, the --help shows the diff... [06:17] but i belive the easiest way would be to take out ur hdd [06:17] Myrtti, restarting NetworkManager didn't seem to work. i'll pastebin the command, but is it -c or -C? [06:17] and install the os [06:18] Hello [06:18] parker-fcnyu: try -C [06:18] kendari [06:18] !ja | darlek [06:18] darlek, please see my private message [06:18] having problems with Jockey. It just scans for available drivers forever and then does nothing [06:18] In File Management Preferences on the Media tab, selecting different type of blank disc's does not allow me to select and application to handle it "No applications found" is greyed out. Its also the same way for Photos and Software. [06:18] ..,. [06:18] Anacranom: output doesn't look any different...

[06:21] :( [06:21] AlexKpow: try setting alsa or other drivers in system prefs sound and see if it changes [06:21] !sound [06:21] 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 [06:21] Could anyone tell me how to fix flickering videos in ubuntu 9.04? I upgraded from 8.10 using the alternate cd. [06:22] I also can't get RuneScape HD to work now, but it did before. [06:22] ok got jockey working, now it says it's downloading and installing driver but been on %0 for 5 minutes now [06:22] Question, is the Sound capture: test supposed to make the beeping noise? [06:23] Does anyone know how I can fix flickering videos in ubuntu 9.04? I've noticed that almost all videos flicker black lines when playing. [06:24] what's ubuntu's default root password? [06:24] I've heard from a few people that it's an OpenGL problem. [06:24] intx: there isn't one [06:24] intx: root is locked by default [06:24] lstarnes: /etc/shadow seems to indicate there is one [06:24] Yeah, changing to ASLA doesn't do anything, I still don't hear event sounds. It used to make my internal speaker beep until I removed the driver with a tutorial I found online [06:24] sillycat98: Maybe try turning Compiz off? [06:24] You can enable root under login window i think. [06:24] intx: I think that's an invalid hash [06:24] intx: The 'hash' in /etc/shadow for root is invalid [06:24] ah, so it's random. good to know. [06:25] parker-fcnyu: looks like it should work, weird. [06:25] or invalid rather :P [06:25] thanks [06:25] intx: Actually, its made up of characters that could never be present in a real hash [06:25] Myrtti, I agree! everything seems like it's working except... it's not! [06:25] is it the same in every install? or is it generated randomly? [06:25] AlexKpow: only if a sound has already been assigned. If it's blank then no sound can play as there is no association. Click the "Sounds" tab and hit the play buttons beside each sound. Try the defaults [06:26] Myrtti, or anybody else, i suppose: going forward, what can i do about this? can i pay for support somewhere? [06:26] darlek: pressing the play button does work [06:26] (i may just reinstall, but i'd like to avoid doing that until october if possible. [06:26] ) [06:26] parker-fcnyu: have you asked on the forums yet? [06:27] hi [06:27] no, not yet. [06:27] parker-fcnyu: try that then, you might find some help there, and the thread is easy to refer to when/if coming back to IRC [06:27] hi guys can anyone help me pls [06:27] Can't seem to get compiz to disable, what's the right command? [06:27] !ask | orbit_ [06:27] orbit_: 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. :-) [06:28] ok thanks [06:28] AlexKpow: ok, so you hear the basic stuff then... I tried a few myself and not all are on, just alerts and logins [06:28] alright, Myrtti . I've avoided doing that thus far because of the effort compiling everything, but i suppose i should do that... === kenapa is now known as luai [06:28] parker-fcnyu: the odds are you don't have to recompile a thing [06:29] im using acer 6935G but after installing ubuntu my sound card is not working anyone know how to solve ? [06:29] darlek: I used to get an internal beep from pressing backspace too many times, does that have an alert sound associated with it? [06:29] help /sb [06:29] Myrtti, alright, I'm going to put a thread together right now. Thanks for the help! [06:30] im using acer 6935G but after installing ubuntu my sound card is not working anyone know how to solve ? or is able to guide me where else can i find help [06:30] AlexKpow: don't know about that [06:30] might be in a theme package [06:31] darlek: Oh well, I'll live without them === G_ is now known as vhiie [06:31] kk [06:31] me too ;) [06:32] I've got another question, when I boot from GRUB, it sits at the "Starting up..." screen for like 25 seconds [06:32] It doesn't do that when I boot to Windows, though [06:32] Disabling compiz seems to have worked. Thank you tiyowan, do you think that reinstalling compiz through apt-get would help? [06:32] i got a question i'm using acer 6935G but after installing ubuntu my sound card is not working anyone know how to solve ? or is able to guide me where else can i find help [06:32] I can't help it, I like the atlantis plugin and I do not wish to abandon it. [06:33] AlexKpow: that's true. in 8.10 the login sound was on time with the login window, but in Jaunty it lags or sometimes doesn't play [06:33] how to change gdm using the terminal? :S [06:34] sillycat98: I'm highly doubtful that doing that will fix the problem. Best thing is to switch off compiz for when you need to watch video, and then switch back otherwise. [06:34] there is a nice program for that called compiz-switch [06:34] darlek: the login sounds seems to work fine [06:35] you can put it on your desktop or your quick launch and just click it to turn compiz on or off [06:35] I'll look into it then, thank you for all the help tiyowan and alex [06:35] sillycat98: I'd install the app alex_ mentioned, to make it convenient. [06:35] sillycat98: Glad to be of help. [06:35] sillycat98: It is no longer in Synaptic as far as I know, but I know you can google it [06:35] Is that app available through the add programs menu alex? [06:36] anyone? :D [06:36] sillycat98: you can download a .deb and it will install the package for you [06:36] AlexKpow: I'm guessing themes has more information about locations and settings.

[06:43] please tell me how to install Eclipse IDE on ubuntu Intrepid 8.10 [06:43] peddy ;; you can pipe the output to sort as well [06:44] Peddy :: ls -la | sort -nr means sort by numeric thus by date, and r for reverse.

It's multiple monitor support sucks =( [06:44] Peddy, or maybe that's sort by size.. can't remember [06:45] i know i did this once or twice but i was able to see files from my windows on my ubunut how do i do it?

[07:18] sudobash, ok, I'll take a look at that [07:18] thanks toypilot and sudobash [07:19] worst part is setting the ports, but you can connect without SSH, but its bad... anyone can snoop your password. The SSH makes sure your connecting over an encrypted session [07:19] sudo apt-get install vsftpd [07:19] !limewire | songer [07:19] songer: limewire is a popular P2P client running on the Gnutella network. To get it running, install !Java first, then download Limewire from http://www.limewire.com/LimeWireSoftOther and finally run runLime.sh. Consider !FrostWire as an alternative. [07:19] sup3rs3nior, yes. Uninstall proftpd first. Otherwise they will both be trying to use the same ports by default. [07:19] how can instal java? [07:19] Yeah I had already disabled unecessary services [07:20] I run Eclipse. LAMP, Virtual Box though [07:20] synaptic and search JRE [07:20] Those are heavy apps [07:20] Jave Runtime environment === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo [07:20] there is also system->preferences -> Startup Apps [07:20] ok i removed proftp and installed vsftp.. now the hard part.. where is the config file? [07:20] songer: Check limewire site. Is there a *.deb file you can get it from? [07:20] Startup apps I didn't check [07:21] yes I did thta [07:21] SSH has sftp [07:21] daglees: top cmd to monitor your memory usage. [07:21] songer-> look here: http://www.limewire.com/download/?os=linux [07:21] !frostwire | songer [07:21] songer: frostwire is a totally open source version of Limewire.

[07:25] whats the difference in ccsm between horiz vsize and number of desktops? [07:25] robtp: number of desktops is calculated by doing horizontal*vertical, you don't need to change that slider unless all the desktops you defined are not appering [07:25] ziroday, thanks [07:26] robtp: also if you're using the cube then you can only have 1 vertical :) [07:26] horray, I got the open source drivers and they work GREAT [07:26] are there prebuilt packages for the grid plugin for compiz? [07:26] hello dears, I have ubuntu Intrepid, I installed ati catalyst contron center, and that ruined my graphics system, I have ATI Inc Radeon X1400 chip. how can I reconfigure the settings ?

[07:33] eleite: jaunty comes with alsa preinstalled, yes [07:33] Is there anyone available that could assist me with some questions reguarding bash scripting? [07:33] ok, sorry :D [07:33] Ubuntu 8.04.2 installed 15 DEB program packages having 'avahi' in their names.

[07:33] I can't do anything [07:33] just so fun browsing through his/her brain === darlek_ is now known as darlek [07:33] bullgard4: not from the internet as avahi only finds applications in your LAN [07:34] dragonlinux: why are you compiling eggdrop from source? [07:34] toypilot: alternatively since the NAS has FTP couldn't i just use that instead of having to vnc tunnel or [07:34] mattgyver: There are appx 1300 people logged in to this chat -- ask your question and if someone knows the ansber they will respond to it [07:34] mattgyver: #bash or here :) [07:34] ziroday: so i just need to configure alsa now? i'm totally new with alsa.

[07:35] hmm there is no zlib-dev ? [07:35] :( [07:35] eleite: np, :D [07:35] Where can I find more in-depth help about setting up a ftp server? [07:35] dragonlinux: okay, in that case a neat trick is doing sudo apt-get build-dep eggdrop which will install all the dependencies for eggdrop [07:35] p1oooop, sorry, I'm there [07:36] achilles: LOL, NP [07:36] ziroday, oh nice. but it wont actually install the wrong eggdrop right? [07:36] p1oooop, reconfigure the xserver didn't help [07:36] I was watching DVD anyway [07:36] eleite: I would look at the alsa compatibility chart - I am not sure if your card is supported --- google: ALSA compatibility [07:36] dragonlinux: nope, just the build dependencies as listed for it [07:36] p1oooop, I don't mean anything specific :) I just need my X again :) [07:36] achilles: you having prblems with ati drivers on what version of ubuntu?

[07:37] p1oooop, yeah I think so, do you mean reinstalling the driver ? [07:38] songerL check to see that the update manager isn't running, or apt-get or any other package managment - Gdebi? or aptitude [07:38] songer: click the x - what do you mean? [07:38] achilles: what version of ubuntu are you running on? [07:38] it can't close [07:38] p1oooop, Jaunty [07:38] achilles: I believe the proprietary ATI drivers do not work with jaunty [07:38] p1oooop, hmm .. [07:39] achilles: the last time I tried them, I had the same problem [07:39] p1oooop: they work for me? i think [07:39] hi, it seams that ksuspend usbd have hold of my usb port, how do I get it released? I cant access that port now [07:39] my installation ain' progress so I closed [07:39] robtp: they work for some people, not me... [07:39] songer: If it wont close go to System>Administrator>System Moniter> Look in processes for gdebi and end that process [07:39] p1oooop, it was working, tell I installed that stupid ati catalyst control center [07:40] achilles: ahh, I see [07:40] songer: : check it with ps aux | grep -i thepackagemanagername, then kill it ... or run top hit, 'k' and type the process number, then 9, [07:40] ok [07:40] achilles: what about aticonfig for rebuildng? [07:40] achilles: Is this an X1400 Mobility Radeon? [07:40] achilles: you'd probably wanna go open source for now ;) [07:40] tiyowan, yes exactly [07:41] oh a menu option, thanks fccf, i didn't know that one haha.. cli forever [07:41] achilles: Hmm, the proprietary drives don't work with Jaunty? I'm asking because I need to do an upgrade on a laptop with that card. :) [07:41] achilles: meh, proprietary drivers... they're not free to mess around with :D [07:41] p1oooop, aticonfig says : No Supported adapters detected" [07:41] * x^code^x lg upload lagu2 festival rock se-indonesia...metaaaalll [07:42] achilles: then perhaps they "dropped" your GPU [07:42] darlek: I am too lazy to learn everything in bash - and it was faster than opening a terminal and running top [07:42] p1oooop, but how it was working .. I'm wondering [07:42] achilles: I remember there is a guide to uninstalling VIA terminal [07:42] any ideas how to brake usb port free? [07:43] achilles: it was probably working on the drivers that were there... [07:43] SkyNetMaster: which port is it? [07:43] fccf ... really? my menus don't work that fast.. easier with tilda to popup a terminal then popout [07:43] robtp, it is usb port, [07:43] I just put linux on my Ipod [07:43] :D [07:43] robtp, it is busy for some reason and I cant access it [07:43] ipodlinux > Apple Os [07:43] achilles: then, you installed the prop. drivers that killed your x server [07:44] how do i bring up the synaptic package manager?

[07:55] sup3rs3nior, Are you doing everything through the command line as an excercise? Or, do you only have ssh access? You can setup the user with adduser, sure. Then, you need to set its home directory to /var/www and the shell to /bin/null [07:55] ssh access [07:56] sup3rs3nior: you can always do remote desktop :D [07:56] sup3rs3nior, I don't know what you are asking at the end, there. [07:56] no gui lol [07:56] filippo goto #ubuntu-it in italia [07:56] ubuntu server [07:56] sup3rs3nior: you can always install GUI and use remote desktop :D [07:57] I just installed Ubuntu on my laptop Toshiba Satellite Pro M10. Everytyng it's fine a part the reboot. When I reboot Ubuntu, the system still blocked for hours wit black screen. To reeboot Ubuntu I have to press the poer butto for 4 seconds to switch off and then press once to start. Is there some fix about that? [07:57] i think a gui would slow it down.. [07:57] sup3rs3nior, then, use adduser. But, I don't know where you set the home directory and shell. [07:57] sup3rs3nior: true [07:57] sup3rs3nior: you can configure it only to start on your command [07:57] sup3rs3nior: :D [07:57] so vsftp does not manage users and home directories for ftp access only? [07:57] sup3rs3nior, Whether to have a gui or not is your decision. I like to setup a lightweight one like openbox on servers. [07:58] sup3rs3nior: just trying to help :D [07:59] for example, if i installed filezilla server on a windows machine, i use filezilla to set up users.. in vsftp, i go about this in a different way? [07:59] sup3rs3nior, vsftpd lets you configure user access in two ways. You can decide whether to allow anonymous access and where that will be. And you decide whether users can login to ftp. For each class of user you decice whether they have read only access or read/write. It is quite flexible. [07:59] Sevenan: I use a full ubuntu gnome gui over VNC on my server - which has a head on it as well - works really well [08:00] this is all done through the config file, correct? [08:00] Hello again, I have a short and to be honest stupid question,...yet again..I have this digital camera ( the Canon G9) And Well When I connect it to the laptop it doesn't work! the laptop doesn't want to recognize it! but when I use my cybershot (sony) it recognizes it! [08:00] sup3rs3nior, It sounds like filezilla is sloppy. I doubt their user security is as strong as that built into Linux. [08:01] sup3rs3nior, most aspects are configured through the vsftpd.conf file. User setup is done in the OS. [08:01] pooky: Your question isn't stupid - perhaps the Canon G9 isn't supported? [08:01] anyone know what package works well to play videos online like youtube? [08:01] pooky: that is a little wierd - But I would reccommend getting a usb card reader - you will be able to read the data of the card [08:02] so use the "adduser" command? [08:02] howdy fellas [08:02] fccf, I do that sometimes, too. It depends on who will be accessing the server, how loaded I expect it to be and how I am feeling that day. Gnome is not that bad a load for modern CPUs. [08:02] fccf, do you know how much does it cost aprox.? [08:02] !flash [08:02] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [08:02] sup3rs3nior: read vsftp document [08:03] Tiyowan, do you know a bypass to this? [08:03] pooky: I can get one for like $5US on ebay [08:03] the vsftp documentation was of no help [08:03] im on ubuntu 7.10 (yea i know its old). if update manager it gives me the option to update to 8.04. is there a way to do something to upgrade to the newest version of ubuntu ? [08:03] sup3rs3nior, As I said multiple times before, that is yes. But, I can't tell you offhand how to set the user shell and home directories for that user. [08:04] sup3rs3nior: you didn't read carefully [08:04] pooky: I'd follow fccf's suggestion - instead of directly connecting the camera to your machine, take out the card and pop it in a reader. === sandeep is now known as Guest76123 [08:04] towlie_, Yes, you upgrade to 8.04, then 8.10, then 9.04 [08:04] damn [08:04] i cant directly upgrade [08:04] ? [08:04] towlie: nope [08:04] screensaver went beserk. [08:04] :p [08:04] ok [08:04] how do I increase the max volume in ubuntu, alsamixer and volume control master volume are all maxed [08:05] towlie_, Nope. You could just install 9.04 and wipe the disk.. Backup what is important before hand and restore it. [08:05] myself: are you using a laptop [08:05] fccf...I'm not E-bay buyer...I'm very "anti" E-bay even if I've bought some stuff from them, it's just i don't think it's safe..,but anyway Ok I'll look for one.

[08:06] ok... [08:06] Severian: i have a similar problem that sup3rs3nior had. I have an NAS with ftp/smb running, i have installed ssh, i have dyndns setup for my ip but i need to know how to connect to my NAS through the dyndns address [08:06] guys whats the command for listing the running processec in a term [08:06] myself: you able to adjust the volume? [08:06] dude [08:06] myself: increased PCM volume? [08:06] its set to max [08:06] whatvn: vsftp documentation says nothing about adding a user.. [08:06] Severian, the update quits suddenly with no error. any idea why ? [08:06] its all to max [08:06] adding a user is a shell thing.. === darlek_ is now known as darlek [08:06] myself: did you set to max on the device? [08:06] in alsamixer? [08:06] guys whats the command for listing the running processec in a term [08:06] myself: are you using powered speakers [08:06] can some one help me with a samba share issue? for some reason my windows pc can only connect to the samba server as a guest account i want to set it so it prompts me for a username and pw [08:06] whatvn: thanks [08:06] everything is set to max everywhere [08:06] im using headphones [08:06] Gamarok__, top [08:07] but ive had it hella loud before its just not loud in ubuntu [08:07] myself: no, the device that is plugged in (ex: speakers headphones) [08:07] oh thanks chuck_ [08:07] sup3rs3nior: user belongs to OS [08:07] what about it [08:07] now i have a new problem, when i ad a user, it wants to create a dir. when i tell it to use /var/www it says it already exists === prodego is now known as Prodego [08:07] yes ofcoutrse [08:07] lol [08:07] Oh, another question, It's about my Ipod...Is there anything better than Floola? [08:07] what kind of question is that [08:07] bluewook, tell me more about your setup. The nas box is behind a router, I assume. [08:07] thelaughingmime: you need to have the same u/p on both the win and ubuntu machine [08:07] myself: IDK... [08:07] Severian: yes [08:07] im asking how you increase the max volume IN ubuntu [08:07] there has to be a way [08:07] myself: so, did you set to max in music player? [08:07] fccf thats how its set [08:07] yes [08:08] sup3rs3nior: man adduser [08:08] i even reinstalled windows to remove all the other user settings [08:08] Severian: i'm looking to be able to FTP through ssh so i can access it out of network, like from a coffee shop [08:08] myself: yes, you use the sound volume or alsamixer. If its all at the max then there is nothing more we can do [08:08] how would I go about uninstalling Flash 10? [08:08] fccf: Thank you. [08:08] myself: huh... thats kinda odd [08:08] why is there nothing you can do [08:08] why cant you set it higher, if i can set it higher on windows [08:08] whats wrong with ubuntu [08:08] bullgard4: get what you needed" [08:08] ? [08:08] myself: what sound card? [08:09] myself: also make sure you are playing the same audio/video file [08:09] fccf: No. That is no comprehensive introduction. [08:09] bluewook, The dyndns server is equating a dns name for the world to your ip address on the router. What is it you want to have connected to the outside world? Is it the ftp? [08:09] i am, well let me see [08:09] I have Realtek ALC888 [08:09] Severian: yes i want to be able to access my NAS over FTP from the dyndns [08:09] What programm do you use for Ipodon Xubuntu? [08:09] bullgard4, try this http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/Main_Page [08:09] bullgard4: then why thank me? too much of an intro [08:10] whatvn: i read the man page as you suggested, but it says "if the directory does not exist, it will be created" which implies that if it does exist, it would use it.. [08:10] myself: okay, and what does aplay -L show? [08:10] anyone on jaunty and youtube sound is working for them? [08:10] Severian: and through ssh === faisal is now known as Linux_User [08:10] but it doesnt want to use it.. [08:10] towlie_, I don't know why it would stop. Sometimes, it is because it ran out of disk space. I would try the upgrade from the command line. It should give you better errors. [08:10] how do i do it from the command line [08:10] sup3rs3nior: you dont need to create home directory for vsftp user [08:11] ziroday: http://pastebin.com/d527c8f7b [08:11] I can't close GDebi [08:11] songer: reboot [08:11] bluewook, We'll start with ftp. Do you want to use the standard ports for ftp? I'll assume yes for the moment. You need to go into your router and setup forwarding rules for ports 20 and 21. [08:11] i was hoping to be able to access the /var/www folder via ftp.. does it need to be the home dir in order to access it via ftp? [08:11] Severian, how do i do it from the command line [08:11] songer: did your try forceing? [08:12] myself: okay, that card is supported well. Make sure all the sliders are maxed out in alsamixer [08:12] everything is maxed out [08:12] how Plooooopl? [08:12] myself: then there is nothing more we can do [08:12] hmm wait [08:12] no, actually [08:12] songer: keep clicking the X [08:12] "front" wasnt maxed out [08:12] thank u [08:12] songer: :D [08:12] myself: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:12] its a little louder now [08:12] Severian: you assume correctly. i have them forwarded now. [08:13] songer: eventually, a box will pop out asking you to force quit [08:13] towlie_, apt-get something. I'll look up specifics when I get a break. Or, try googling for upgrade version ubuntu command line. I bet that finds the answer. [08:13] sup3rs3nior: you can access a website place in /var/www but website admin didn't create a home directory for you [08:13] I just installed Ubuntu on my laptop Toshiba Satellite Pro M10. Everytyng it's fine a part the reboot. When I reboot Ubuntu, the system still blocked for hours wit black screen. To reeboot Ubuntu I have to press the poer butto for 4 seconds to switch off and then press once to start. Is there some fix about that? [08:13] sup3rs3noir: openssh is an sftp server and can be accessed with filezilla via port 22 [08:13] i am the admin.. =( [08:13] what does "FRONT" mean in alsamixer anyway? [08:13] where [08:13] sup3rs3nior: and really easy to setup [08:13] Front [08:13] sup3rs3nior: keep reading [08:13] bluewook, If you want to forward ssh, it is similar. If you use the standard ports, it is port 22. [08:13] myself: who knows :D [08:14] p1oooop, did it, didn't work also. sorry for late message ;) [08:14] myself: ahh, that probably means the front speakers [08:14] whatvn: i think i missed something you said.. [08:14] p1oooop, I do in recovery mode [08:14] Severian: i want to forward my current computer's ip or the NAS ip [08:14] but what if im using headphoens, and it still makes it louder,... wierd :) [08:14] achilles: ahh, well that suckx [08:14] bluewook, I don't know what ftp server you are using. Some are vulnerable to hacking. vsftpd is pretty safe. If you are not using a good one, I would not leave those ftp ports open all the time. [08:15] achilles: so, did it uninstall? [08:15] p1oooop, yeah , it did [08:15] achilles: the ATI drivers [08:15] sup3rs3nior: you can create home directory for vsftp user, ie /var/www/vsftpuser1 for user1 [08:15] Severian: i don't know either haha [08:15] Severian, i am having problems find the right answer on upgrading [08:15] p1oooop, xorg-driver-fglrx yes [08:15] what if i want to be able to edit all files in /var/www? [08:15] achilles: hmm, then I guess it really is something with the X server [08:16] Severian: it's just the server that came with the NAS box [08:16] bluewook, You have to pick one to forward to. But, each port can be different. You can forwart port 8124 on the external port of your router to port 22 on your machine and port 8125 to port 22 of the NAS. [08:16] it's running off the NAS [08:16] sup3rs3nior: it depends on what permission you give for that user [08:16] achilles: were you able to see anything? [08:16] * x^code^x listening Festival Rock Se-Indonesia [08:17] bluewook, Then, I would assume it is pretty hackable. [08:17] p1oooop, black screen, with some colored mess on the top [08:17] I typed ps aux | grep -i GDebi To try close it [08:17] achilles: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=630418 [08:17] sup3rs3nior: home directory is just a place for keeping user information, document...etc [08:17] L O V E [08:17] and I got this songer 12083 0.1 1.7 23808 13072 ?

[08:18] p1oooop, :) let me see [08:18] towlie_, It should be sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [08:18] p1oooop, what about this http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Jaunty_Installation_Guide [08:18] sup3rs3nior: you must config vsftp to allow user to connect, what you did? [08:19] how can i extract a substring in bash? echo ${string:4} is returning a bad substitution, any ideas? [08:19] songer: type sudo top - look for gdebi and it's corresponding process # - type k Process# enter 9 enter [08:19] Severian, its saying 404 file not found for all packages... [08:19] Severian: so i wouldn't want to do this or what [08:20] okay. if i manually launch gnome-wm and gnome-panel, all is right with the world; but why aren't they loading themselves, and what normally loads them? [08:20] sup3rs3nior, If you are setting up a user who only gets to do ftp. you set the users home directory to where you want ftp to see. In your case that was /var/www. Thenyou set the users default shell to /bin/null. That makes it so the user cannot login like a normal user. [08:20] mattgyver: what string you want to extract? [08:20] can anyone help me? I need to reset my proxy so that it is set to have no proxy, i tried going through prefs->netowrk proxy and changing it there but it doesnt work [08:20] achilles: seems like a viable source [08:21] anyone on jaunty and have a successful install of nvidia drivers? [08:21] i can find out which gpu drivers to use on jaunty, im afraid ill have to reformat if i mess up >< [08:21] protivv: successful ati somewhere in here [08:22] I did, unfortunately I had to use the older drivers, 1.77 and 1.80 doesnt seem to be able to be enabled [08:22] Severian: ok, now i need to set ftp access to something other than anonymous right? [08:22] achilles: huh, so thats why your x1 didnt work :D [08:22] bluewook, I would not leave a relatively insecure ftp server exposed to the internet all the time. Leave it set up and just turn on the forwarding rules for a brief time when a friend needs to upload. Or, use a better ftp daemon on another machine. Or configure port knocking on your router(not for beginners) [08:22] p1oooop, what ? [08:22] Hi, sorry if this is considered offtopic but, my windows installation either bsod's or I get a disk read error from grub when i try to boot it, how can i run a chkdsk on the ntfs drive from ubuntu? is using e2fsck on it safe? [08:23] sup3rs3nior, I can't answer that. I don't know if you need anonymous ftp or not. [08:23] Bodsda, that wont work [08:23] lokixza: well, any idea what will help? [08:23] how to cut all the leave/joined messages in xchat?? I've been using chatzilla in firefox but thought I'd give this one a try [08:23] achilles: seems they really did drop your version [08:24] towlie_, What version did you say you ran currently.? [08:24] well its anonymous right now and that causes an error when i try to connect, i just have no idea what it should be instead of anonymous.. [08:24] achilles: eh, prop. drivers... a pain in the &*() [08:24] Bodsda: Use windows recovery environment to restore win bootloader [08:24] p1oooop, lol [08:24] ploooopl I wanna close GDebi If I Type ps aux | grep -i GDebi then how can kill it? [08:24] fccf: I do not wish to restore the win bootloader [08:24] songer: killall gdebi?

[08:25] songer: kill -9 PID where PID is the number seen in the ps command [08:25] i wrote an 8 page research paper for class tomorrow in open office 3.0 [08:25] Severian, 7.10 [08:25] songer: did you try system monitor yet> [08:25] ok darlek [08:25] songer: sudo kill [08:25] *? [08:25] accidentally deleted and emptied recycle bn [08:25] bin [08:25] yes [08:25] fccf: yeah, but I fail to see how restoring ntldr to the mbr will help when that is not the problem [08:25] there has got to be a way to recover that document [08:25] its been less than 12 hours [08:25] since i deleted it [08:25] mobi-sheep, thanks you're awesome [08:25] !recovery | quklsls [08:25] quklsls: To rescue a broken system, boot the alternate install CD and select "Rescue a broken system" [08:26] quklsls: you can try browsing the tmp folder [08:26] quklsls: bah.. wrong factoid [08:26] darlek: Thanks. I know I'm awesome but don't forget... losher is awesome too. You heard that, right? :) [08:26] i tried [08:26] quklsls: open synaptic, search for recover.. there are plenty of file recovery apps [08:26] losher is awesome too [08:26] the problem is, i'm on xp right now [08:26] i deleted it on xp [08:26] now that I can read the scroll, yeah [08:26] i dualboot with ubuntu though [08:26] darlek: cheers. Also. check out the xchat faq for other stuff it can do... [08:26] quklsls: and this channel is called #ubuntu.. for #ubuntu help [08:27] quklsls: you would need to ask in ##windows [08:27] kinda getting stressed... LOL [08:27] slart i know bro [08:27] quklsls: so perhaps you should be in a channel called.. ##windows? [08:27] anyone use the ZSNES EMULATOR? [08:27] Severian: well it can only be seen from inside the network i just want a way to connect to it via ftp securely. i would have to do those things if i wanted to do that? [08:27] the people here are extremely knowledgeable though... [08:27] I"ve been using chatzilla, but xchat looks a bit more scriptable, and I'll probably do something in Ruby with it ;) [08:27] Bodsda: seems windows got screwed up - the recovery environment allows you access to the nuts and bolts of win -- what process causes BSOD anywhy [08:27] Severian, 7.10 [08:28] quklsls: doesn't really matter.. this channel is for ubuntu support only [08:28] darlek: I'm annoyed by join/host too but what I did was to edit the Text Events and remove hostnames so I see "mobi-sheep has Quit ("Leaving.")" --> Very simple. :) [08:28] fccf: no way of knowing, it flashes up for a second then reboots itself [08:28] fccf: That is a more comprehensive introduction. -- Thank you for your help. [08:28] towlie_, I got that. I am doing some research. I'll be back. [08:28] ok [08:29] Bodsda: I'd backup the important stuff from ubuntu and reinstall win [08:29] bluewook, I don't understand. If you mean, you don't need port forward rules for use inside the LAN, then you are correct. [08:29] how can I save a file on a remote file system using the gnome file dialog without having to mount that file system? - like in the kde file dialog usinf kio slaves.

[08:30] mattgyver: yes [08:30] mattgyver: you mean command line? [08:30] mattgyver: no it uses dash [08:30] Thank you [08:30] it uses both [08:30] huh? [08:30] sh links to dash [08:31] default shell for users is bash [08:31] mattgyver: if you want to use pure bash, change the symlink for /bin/sh [08:31] mattgyver, It uses dash by default. It installs bash and you can change to that. [08:31] dumbkiwi: dash instead of sh.. bash for terminal [08:31] Severian: and passwords don't do anything to stop them either [08:31] Severian, if you find the answer just hang on i gotta reboot [08:31] popey: is zsh good?

If that's not a problem, then it has the advantage of being readable in both windows and linux. Personally, I'd prefer ext3 if its only going to contain Linux files [08:41] losher, well its gonna contain all kinda of stuff [08:41] hiyas. my system monitor shows me that one of my 2 cores is completely hogged, but top doesn't look like that at all. any idea where that pseudo load might be coming from? when i boot into a non-rt kernel, it all seems ok btw.

I've tried a filesystem check/repair on each of the partitions of the HDD it's installed on, I've tried re-installing/re-configuring GRUB, and it stays as just Error 17. My config is 3 HDD's, ubuntu installed on the 3rd HDD as seen in the BIOS, WXP installed on the 1st, I'd like to be able to dual boot. At the moment, [09:09] I can't single boot however, so that would be a nice start. Any suggestions from anyone of what I can do next? [09:10] Bodsda - you will need to install gparted and ntfs-3g to work with ntfs and run a check on it [09:10] When I addded the bookmark for the ftp it got added to my desktop by an ugly long name and places - how can i remove it? IO cant delete it from the desktop! [09:10] ignusb: what does grub error 17 mean?

Post the output of your terminal for "gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst" [09:10] oui lol [09:11] ManDay: it's a link, so it can only be unmounted. Places and Nautilus can unmount it or rename it. [09:11] Bodsda: run gparted with ntfs unmounted . select the drive - upper right hand corner... right click on partition and check [09:11] It lets me do 1280X1080 but I have to scroll around. As if the res is to large [09:11] ManDay: not sure why it's even on the desktop though [09:11] Slart: according to http://www.uruk.org/orig-grub/errors.html its an invalid device request [09:11] Google Wave to "redefine" E-mail communication...

[09:18] now could you past this to a copy paste site [09:18] ManDay, which tab is that in prefs? [09:18] and we can have a look from there [09:18] fhow can I do that? [09:18] Detect displays does nothing [09:18] !pastebin | ignusb [09:18] hello all, can someone help me to transfer mails from Thunderbird installed on Windows to Thunderbird installed on Ubuntu??? [09:18] ignusb: 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) [09:18] I'm on IRC from my laptop, the desktop has a shifty NIC, not co-operating at the moment. different issue [09:18] though I'll connect up and give it a go for that... [09:19] uhriventis: don't know what to tell you [09:19] there are a lot of people who can help with grub problems, as they are fairly common. You will find a solution, its just that there are a lot of possibilites [09:19] darlek, what do you mean which tab? [09:19] ignusb: ok.. let's see what we can do... if you open the file up you'll first see a lot of text.. comments and settings bla bla bla..some way down in the file you'll see a list of kernels.. about 5 lines for each kernel.. do you see that part? [09:19] p1oooop, it seems x problem, I rebuilt the driver and the same problem [09:19] Does anyone have experience with Avidemux, Kino, or other video-editing software? I need to rotate some scenes, and can't figure it out in either of these. [09:19] ManDay, in nautilus... Edit ... prefs... is that where you found always open in tree view? [09:20] omg, /start_rant my windows was bsoding because of an unclean filesystem, it wouldnt chkdsk itself, but when i try to mount it on ubuntu it says -- "unclean filesystem... fixing" << Thank you mr linux, have a cookie /end_rant [09:20] does anyone know why amarok can't play my god damn mp3's? [09:20] spexor: have you installed the gstreamer libraries? [09:20] go to add remove programs [09:20] and search gstreamer [09:20] ignusb: if you look at my file at http://pastebin.com/f40922f2d , the part I'm talking about starts at line 133 [09:20] i have not. but i will [09:20] darlek, no its called "always open in browser windows" under "behaviour" [09:20] Yeah it's weird. [09:20] I think it's just ubuntu [09:20] very unintuitive, i admit [09:21] got it. http://paste.ubuntu.com/185472/ [09:21] Can someone help me with the following two problems: (1) Every time I connect to a server with natuilus a desktop icon appears. (2) The "Name"-Column in Natuilus can'T be resized to below 80% of the window width. [09:21] ManDay, wow, glad I have it there already... I would never have guessed [09:22] it says they're all installed [09:22] ignusb: could you provide us with the output of sudo fdisk -l please (in a pastebin) [09:22] darlek, me either - i just found it googling the ubuntu forums [09:22] hello all, can someone help me to transfer mails from Thunderbird installed on WindowsXp (I hate) to Thunderbird installed on Ubuntu??? [09:22] songer: I can't help you with that ... buy a book on linux command line [09:22] p1oooop1, I believe it's Xserver problem, not driver [09:22] spexor: if you have rhythmbox, try playing them with that to see if it is amaroks fault [09:22] ignusb: have you edited this file by hand? [09:22] fccf darlek thank you for your help< I'll try it tomorrow [09:23] ok [09:23] I haven't touched the file, it's exactly as it was generated. [09:23] As a matter of fact the so called "tree view" isnt even a tree-view is it?! [09:23] Bodsda, working on it. [09:23] anyone know why sounds folders wont open (sys/preferences/sound/sounds tab) ? [09:23] ignusb: cheers [09:23] ok fccf I'll do that [09:23] It's not like you had a tree of folders on the left, is it? [09:23] p1oooop1, startx gives the following : Fatal server error : no screens found [09:23] ManDay, ah no... details details.. [09:23] ah nevermind [09:23] Yep, basically ignusb, before we check for OTHER problems, we'll just do a quick check on whether your fdisk output, matches your boot menu file. Ater that, we can check for other issues [09:24] i just figured that the type of the side panel can be changed [09:24] http://paste.ubuntu.com/185474/ [09:24] ManDay, technically a list view but hey [09:24] Could someone PLEASE help me... [09:24] ignusb: what are you having problems botting, win1, win2 or ubuntu? [09:24] ignusb: hmm.. let me check some stuff.. you've got some strange things in your file but I'm not sure if it's something they've changed in jaunty [09:24] !ask | pooky [09:24] pooky: 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. :-) [09:25] Bodsda, it won't even get to the bootloader UI [09:25] fccf, I've asked 3 times.. for the last 3àmin... [09:25] 30minutes* [09:25] ignusb: oh, you get error 17 before grub menu? [09:25] ManDay, how about under prefs view, setting to compact mode then under 50% while having fixed all columns the same? maybe then you can view the file under 80%? [09:25] Hi I am still not able to embed the video in the VLC [09:25] it says something along the lines of "Loading GRUB Error 17" [09:25] well it just bothers me that i cant resize the column as i wish [09:25] i tried usign gstremer-terminal [09:26] it just gets stuck at a certain point [09:26] not always 80% tho. depends on the folder im in [09:26] but not working [09:26] ManDay, the mouse hover on the edge doesn't do anything? [09:26] ok thank you goodbye [09:26] ignusb: ah, that clears things up -- I think reinstalling grub may help [09:26] well it goes into "reizse mode" but when i try to actually resize the collumn i cant get it below a certain point [09:26] Please help.. Wat I have to do to embed the video in VLC.. [09:26] already done it, twice :P [09:27] Ok my question is , how come when i use my cemera the canon G9, my computer doesn't recognize it, i've tried using F-spot but doesn't change anything... [09:27] ignusb: and no change from the error 17? [09:27] always Error 17 [09:27] please help, to change system sounds, do i need to run as root? [09:27] ManDay, if you're under View List try View icons .. then you might be able to rename it there [09:27] same place, before the UI apperas [09:27] that's wierd [09:27] ManDay, or see what the hell it is [09:27] ignusb: try entering your BIOS and check for settings such as "Detecting Drives" etc [09:27] lol [09:27] pooky: the recommendation is buy $5 usb reader [09:27] amarok won't play but rythmbox will [09:27] it sounds as if its a bios specific problem [09:27] No, darlek not able to rename it either [09:28] ignusb: ok, it was as I suspected.. it's a new jaunty thing.. your menu.lst file looks ok [09:28] argh [09:28] The ugly thing just sits there and annoys me [09:28] guys, how do I know if I have a driver problem or Xserver problem when my gnome tries to start, it gives a black screen with some colored horizontal lines and freezed response [09:28] BlackWolf1: I've gone into the BIOS, redetected each of the drives, each is seen as the correct size [09:28] frozen* [09:28] sweet [09:28] hmm, this is odd indeed [09:28] well I'm off. have a good night/morning... [09:28] p1oooop1: I think my driver is working fine and I have tried all combination in gstreamer-terminal [09:28] have you made a topic on ubuntu forums? Your more likely to get help from long termers there, as people with similar problems will find the thread [09:28] * darlek cheers [09:29] no I haven't, that was going to be the next step after here. [09:29] its beyond my scope, and most likely a hardware specific issue [09:29] make sure in the post, you put all your computer specs etc [09:29] good luck with it all though, i hope you can sort this out [09:29] !ubuntuforums is how I learned ubuntu and how to fix things [09:29] Oh sorry fccf, I've already asked that question, I mean my other question was...That There's this website that plays music (only plays no downloads) on a playlist that requires flash plugin,...i put flash but it still doesn't work so...Now I'm hopeless... [09:30] alright, thanks for the assistance. Slart, any other ideas? or shall I put it to the forum [09:30] Slart: BlackWolf1 -- all yours, i need to fix my windows install [09:30] pooky: try gnash [09:30] ignusb: nah... from what I can tell your menu.lst file looks ok... the uuid's might be wrong but I don't really know how to check that [09:31] ignusb: I would try reinstalling grub, just because it's a pretty easy and quick solution if it works [09:31] well it seems he's not even getting to the UI, which indicates an issue BEFORE the boot menu has even been loaded [09:32] ignusb: you're not using some BIOS feature to select which hard drive to boot from? [09:32] Hi there. on one of our servers we always ssh to it, using root, and perform any tasks etc. I know this is bad practice, so im going to create a series of users. whats the best way to go about this? 2 users will need admin type privalages without being able to destroy things? [09:32] can i take a oracle data base on a ntfs drive out of a window 2003 server pop it in a linux machine and hook it with oracle , and run it on ntfs with out a problem [09:32] with the right ntfs drivers of cos ? [09:32] Slart, not that I'm aware of. [09:33] I'll check that again though. [09:33] !sudo [09:33] 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) [09:33] nickgrey147: I'd check the Oracle documentation for that. [09:33] ignusb: no need to check.. you would know if you were =) [09:33] ignusb: some BIOS have a little boot menu of their own.. where the different drives popup and you can select one to boot from [09:33] ok, no, not using that. [09:34] ignusb: then try a reinstall of grub.. if that doesn't fix it write a post on the forums [09:34] does ANYONE know how to switch which monitor is the main one? [09:34] ^_^ [09:34] / [09:34] i've been asking for the past half hour [09:35] guys please help, aticonfig give : no supported adapters detected! [09:35] spexor: I do it using nvidia-settings [09:35] spexor: WHICH verrsion of ubuntu u using? [09:35] Slart: already reinstalled twice, so to the forums it is. [09:35] Does anybody knows any RAD tool for linux, except Lazarus? [09:35] thanks for the assistance. have a good day/night [09:36] Guys i cant seem to partition my partitions i have 32 gb free unacounlted space and yet i cant add it to windows or linux partition in 3 diff partition managers [09:36] ignusb: you're welcome.. hope you get it fixed [09:36] tannersummers_: Which partition managers have you tried? [09:36] Does anyone have experience with Avidemux, Kino, or other video-editing software? I need to rotate some scenes, and can't figure it out in either of these. === Id2ndR_ is now known as Id2ndR__ [09:37] gparted and KDE partitoon manager and windows partiton manager (came with vista) [09:37] !kino [09:37] Sorry, I don't know anything about kino [09:37] the newest version [09:37] i just installed it today [09:37] i'm running an ATI 4950 [09:37] !Avidemux [09:37] Sorry, I don't know anything about Avidemux [09:37] on an i7 system [09:37] !partition [09:37] For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted, !QtParted (!Kubuntu 8.10 and lower) or !PartitionManager (!Kubuntu 9.04 and up) - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap [09:37] brennus: are you trying to rotate video? [09:38] !cheese [09:38] Sorry, I don't know anything about cheese [09:38] !PartitionManager [09:38] PartitionManager is a !KDE !GUI partitioning program.

[09:38] you mean preferences>display? [09:38] spexor: ya [09:38] because that just lets me move them around. not designate main display [09:38] brennus: i'd go to google and search for ffmpeg rotate [09:39] I can create a partition no problem but none on either windows or ubuntu will allow me to add it to a partiton to increase size, i think it might be cuase they used? [09:39] spexor: you have any ATI console? [09:39] ati console? [09:39] tannersummers_: some ati config tool [09:39] help me please? [09:39] tannersummers_: i dont think you can add a partition to an existing partition [09:40] tannersummers_: it doesnt make sense as that partition could be ext3 so how can u add it to some other formatted partition [09:40] tannersummers_: you could resize another partition if the partition is next to the unallocated space [09:40] no [09:41] next to it? [09:41] then how cna i move it? lol [09:41] tannersummers_: That is not the proper way to increase the size of an existing partition. What you need to do is, delete the empty partitions you have created so that you have unallocated space once more, and then you need to use the appropriate option in your partition manager to increase the size of the existing partition. [09:41] tannersummers_: above it or below it [09:41] tannersummers_: tiyowan:yeah [09:41] hi whats the support channel for ubuntu malaysia [09:41] hi whats the support channel for ubuntu malaysia [09:42] !malay [09:42] Sorry, I don't know anything about malay [09:42] Hmmm.

I have an ICH9M sound card, and volume is set at max but no where near as loud as vista. Can anyone help? [09:43] is the list of ! responses documented anywhere? [09:43] ninjafury, try alsamixer -c0 [09:44] tannersummers_: Check the documentation of the partition manager in order to find out the correct steps. [09:44] tannersummers_: you need to edit your existing partition to increase its size/ partitioner will use whatever free space is needed for new size [09:44] !bot | flintwingel [09:44] flintwingel: Hi!

[09:45] cheers flannel [09:45] tannersummers_: If it's a GUI-based partition manager, generally what you have to do is -select- the partition you want to resize, and then look for the resize option. [09:45] tiyowan indus thats the thing tho, 2 partition managers on ubuntu and the one that came with windows vista i right click on my windows partition or my ubuntu partition on either of the three but the increase/resize option is shaded in [09:45] flintwingel: have fun :) [09:46] tannersummers_: Are you using ubuntu right now? [09:46] magentar, I maxed all the output levels, and it did help a little. Vista is still way louder though. Anywhere else I should look? [09:46] tannersummers_: the win partition manager will not see the ubuntu or anything after it [09:46] What does mean the entry 'closed' in /proc/asound/card0/pcm0c/sub0/status? [09:47] tannersummers_: use a live cd to partition /its easier i feel .you cannot edit partitions which aare alreadyy mounted [09:47] ninjafury, not really no.. maybe check if there's other users who have the same problem with their soundcard [09:47] tiyowan yes and fccf either way it wont let me increase the size of the windows partiton while log into windows, i think i need to do it before pc boots up on a cd or something [09:47] tannersummers_: What indus said. Do your partitioning off a live CD. [09:47] what screensaver setups allow configurations of the screensaver? [09:47] how do i go among doing that? [09:48] tannersummers_: boot from ubuntu live cd [09:48] tannersummers_: i assume you have an ubuntu live cd [09:48] tannersummers_: Pop in an Ubuntu Live CD, boot off the CD, and then open up the partitioning tool ... gparted I think, and do it from there. [09:48] yes i do [09:48] im new at ubuntu so how do i open up gparted [09:48] hello [09:48] tannersummers_: Don't mix Windows-based partition tools with Linux ones. [09:49] i have a problem with my ubuntu [09:49] tannersummers_: It's in System -> Administration I believe. [09:49] tannersummers_: System>Administration>Partition Manager [09:49] tannersummers_: when the system boots into live cd environment go to system>administration>partition manager( or something like taht) [09:49] !ask | khadafi [09:49] khadafi: 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. :-) [09:50] wait, so run ubuntu off cd and do it? or run program while cd is in? [09:50] hy [09:50] tannersummers_: both [09:50] fccf: heh [09:51] tannersummers_: Run Ubuntu off the CD. [09:51] i need a invite mail for torrentleech.org [09:51] tannersummers_: And use the Partition Manager which is in the Ubuntu that is running from the Live CD.

[10:04] tannersummers: yeah what happened [10:04] tannersummers: >>???? [10:04] tiyowan im running off cd now, i can increase size of partiton but only the one next to the empty space, and unlucky for me the swap partition is next to it and wont let me chage that one at all [10:04] tannersummers: just delete swap and create new swap later [10:04] tannersummers: Yeah. You need to have unallocated space next to the partition you want to resize. [10:05] fccf, PT-BR [10:05] how do i delete and create one later? [10:05] tannersummers: select partition and delete :) [10:05] tannersummers: What indus said. Just delete it using partition manager. [10:05] wont it jack up my ubuntu partition [10:05] if you're using GParted or similar, just delete it, do your partition resize, then create a new one in GParted afterwards before runnign "mkswap /dev/sdxx"? [10:06] tannersummers: well do you have data on those partitions? [10:06] tannersummers: unmount the swap delete it ... then resize other partition leaving space for a swap... then add swap back ... will not hurt ubuntu partition [10:06] tannersummers: Deleting your swap partition won't affect your other partitions. [10:06] ill give it a try :S [10:06] fccf, brazilian portuguese [10:06] tannersummers: And try to chill out. Partitioning needs a calm frame of mind. :) [10:06] tannersummers: ya what tiyowan said [10:06] i have a bad habit of breaking crap lol [10:07] yokobr: try asking in #ubuntu-br [10:07] tannersummers: just remember to leave enough space for swap then create new swap in that space [10:07] tannersummers: backups are you friend :) [10:07] i got school in 4 hours, right now not much of a time to backup over 100 gb on windows and my whole ubuntu partition lol [10:08] so how is everyone doing? [10:09] tannersummers: idle chat is reserved for #ubuntu-offtopic [10:09] tiyowan: btw, resizing a partition destroys data on it no? [10:09] hmm so many channels [10:10] I'm looking for an alternative to the Mycar-monitor for ubuntu. Does anyone knows something? [10:10] I installed Jaunty and it is always running in low graphics mode on Dell Optiplex 755 desktop with Intel Q35 graphics chipset, and it was the same with Intrepid, I thought it will be fixed, but it didn't, any ideas? [10:10] !intel [10:10] 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. [10:10] indus: I don't think so. [10:10] indus: Depends on which tool you're using. [10:10] tiyowan: but the one with the live cd doesnt ? [10:11] i dont remember resizing a partition with data on it [10:11] nvm [10:11] fccf, i've tryied... and no one knows the answer.. [10:12] indus ty :) [10:12] well, everybody is sleeping ehhe [10:12] indus: Well, Ubuntu used parted; I don't think it has any trouble resizing ext2-3 partitions. [10:12] Benalex: you are most welcome :) [10:12] yokobr: your other option is serarching ubuntuforums [10:12] tiyowan: okk [10:12] indus: I don't use parted to resize Windows partitions. [10:13] indus: Just for safety. It's better to use Win-tools with Windows partitions, and linux tools for linux partitions. [10:13] tiyowan: no i mean ubuntu only didnt mean windows partitions [10:13] tiyowan: i always did fresh partitions for ubuntu , dont remember altering a partition to a new size [10:14] indus: It isn't a problem - I've resized the partition my home directory resided on before using parted. [10:14] if I make a live USB stick, will I be able to update it and it know the changes? [10:14] tannersummers: another option is to use your unallocated space as fat32 which will be readable from both win and ubuntu [10:14] tiyowan: ok cool thanks [10:14] IE: security updates, video drivers, so on ? [10:14] fccf im trying to make my windows bigger but if someone can help me ill show a ss [10:14] indus: np [10:15] tannersummers: Are you trying to resize your Windows partition? [10:15] im trying to give it the free space [10:15] or should I figure out how to install it directly to the flash drive ? [10:15] instead of the LIVE version ? [10:15] tannersummers: Oh okay. In that case, just get the free space next to the Windows partition, and use any Windows-based tool to do what you need. [10:16] is it me, or if Juanty's Firefox missing "Set as image as wallpaper"??? [10:16] tiyowan fccf looky http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i172/Tanner2007/Screenshot-1.png [10:17] hi guys does ubuntu 9.04 have support for sse4 and 3dnow mx instruction sets ( i want to use it in a rendering farm) [10:17] tannersummers: Ehehehe. Your unallocated space is -inside- your extended primary partition. [10:17] is 9.10 going to be l.t.s [10:17] [Cbea leg [10:17] ya ur telling me... [10:17] Gamarok__: No. 10.04 is scheduled to be. [10:18] Gamarok__: no [10:18] oh thanks Flannel [10:18] tannersummers: Okay. Let me think a minute. [10:18] =[ there should be a way easier way to do this crap [10:19] tannersummers: Ok, do this. Select /dev/sda4, and shrink it. That should squeeze all that unallocated space out of the extended partition. [10:19] it does but does it on other side of windows partition lol [10:19] If someone would really care about the l.t.s they would be still running those older versions for couple years now still. [10:20] tannersummers: after looking at ss ... what tiyowan said but push the partition to the end instead of the beginning [10:20] tannersummers: That's all right. Right now we need to get it outside the extended partition first. [10:20] idk how i tryed [10:20] fccf, its an early development project... not even google has much answers for it.. [10:20] But as noticed most people only want the newest software cause of additional features and support that wasn't before. [10:20] Jasa: They are. [10:20] yokobr: sorry beyond my skillz [10:21] tannersummers: Just shrink the /dev/sda4, take a screenshot and throw us the link. We'll guide you through the next part of it. Remember to leave some unallocated space in there for the swap partition. [10:21] I'm looking for an alternative to the Mycar-monitor for ubuntu. Does anyone knows something? [10:21] tannersummers: Actually, don't touch /dev/sda6, just shrink /dev/sda4. [10:22] tannersummers: shrink /dev/sda4 with the blank space at the beginning [10:22] Someone planning on dual booting ? [10:22] wont let me shrink it [10:22] tanner i would assume then. =) [10:23] tannersummers: What? It doesn't let you resize /dev/sda4? [10:23] tanner, if you have windows installed there and won't allow you to shrink do a defrag on hd. [10:23] lol [10:23] tannersummers: you need a shrink :P [10:24] just great [10:24] Jasa: His unallocated space is inside his extended partition. Windows can't see it - defragging won't make a difference atm. [10:24] Jasa : my system is dual booting right now :) [10:24] gave space to sda5 and says all fo its used up so i cant shrink it [10:24] I see. [10:25] tannersummers: delete linux-swap... add deleted space to /dev/sda5... shrink /dev/sda5 leaving empty space at beginning... then shrink /dev/sda4 [10:25] i did do that [10:25] but now sda5 [10:25] says 48 gb being used [10:25] so only let me shirnk it 1 gb [10:25] tannersummers: Can you put up a screenshot, please?

[11:41] indus: yes [11:41] I need to find my machine on a LAN but I don't know the IP, I know what services run on (ports that are open), whats the fastest way to scan 192.168.2.[0-255] for the specific ports that will define my machine? [11:41] hello [11:41] alejandro: Okay, I'm not certain about this, but let's try this. [11:41] fafaz: so whats the status [11:41] k [11:41] alejandro: I want you to go into Add/Remove programs, and install the PulseAudio Device Chooser utility [11:42] i am running a program through WINE and the program keeps losing its internet connection every 5 seconds then reganing it then losing it how do i fix this [11:42] fiasco: might be a bit incomplete, but you can try: cat /proc/net/arp [11:42] i saw programs for virse scanners and firewalls, does ubutnu even need those? [11:43] carlosssss: do you need help? [11:43] ok installed [11:43] grub_booter_: this is over a vpn ;) [11:43] tannersummers: ubuntu doesn't, the user might.

Drag it from the left so that you get space before the sda4 partition. Leave how much you need for your swap partition.

I updated the dns settings for my wireless connection in network manager but I want to be sure thy have taken effect [11:44] alejandro: Sorry about that. Right. Run it from Applications -> Sound and Video. Then left-click on its icon in the system tray and select Volume Control, please. [11:45] poq09, "nslookup" [11:45] indus: executing your command [11:45] when you do a query, it'll tell you which server was used [11:45] fiasco: well, no really fast way other than to locate all the valid ips and then try to connect on each at the port you want i guess - avahi-browse might report stuff which is published via upnp type stuff, but i doubt that it'll help with vpn... [11:45] Where is a list of video cards? I want to see if my integrated is supported or not [11:45] alejandro: From there you will be able to select the default card for input and output. In the output devices you need to set it to your card, and enable the default option. [11:46] ah ok let me give it a try [11:46] indus: it returns: Current status: 1 broken 13 updates [11:46] I also tried "safe graphics" mode but that didn't help [11:46] grub_booter_: I'm using nmap '192.168.2.0/24 -p8984' so far, but its also returning closed ports [11:46] alejandro: Oh, and make sure that everything in System -> Preferences -> Sound is set to autodetect.

[11:47] tiyowan: and default mixer tracks [11:47] do u guys have a guide to leanr about linux? like which files have which exstentions and how things run and etc?

[11:55] wraith0x2b: usb.. or install to the hard drive while it's connected to another computer [11:55] wraith0x2b: you could use a USB thumbdrive or network boot if your PC supports PXE boot [11:55] Slart, it's a laptop.. [11:55] fafaz: what worked === prosoma is now known as guigouz [11:55] I have been working on this for 2 days. It's very frustrating I should add.

I know what you mean.. sometimes people just ask questions without giving any kind of details.. my poor poor blood pressure [11:56] zortec, whats your card? [11:56] indus: I did sudo aptitude remove openoffice.org-writer with no errors [11:56] wraith0x2b: to do a network install you will need another machine to boot from [11:56] I can't get the installer to work at all with it. [11:57] indus: but sitll, the broken package appears in Synaptic [11:57] i am trying to set my refresh rate to 75, but it will only allow 60 at this resolution, how do i add a custom one? === hacksins is now known as Sins_FR95 [11:57] flintwingel, soudns kind of hard...and I left my usb stick at home...damn... [11:57] wraith0x2b: I've also seen some people installing by writing the install cd to a hard drive partition, then booting from that.. [11:57] I turned off apci and used "safe graphics" mode. If I add "break=mount" I get a yellow screen of death. [11:58] zortec, i think there is an alternate text install. hit ESC after setting languaje of livecd boot, or check the options [11:58] Slart, hm...no extra partition..only the one where I plan on installing it [11:58] wraith0x2b: but if I were you I would get an external usb cd/dvd reader and use that [11:58] zortec: Getting that card to run will be -challenging-. [11:58] felix__ The alternate text install doesn't recognize my cdrom [11:58] external soudns nice but I don;t have one :( [11:58] I'm not sure where to get a driver for that [11:58] FAGS! FAGS!

[12:03] rikki_max, could re rephrase that... I can't understand a word ;-) [12:04] I can't get the installer program going. [12:04] zortek then you add the packages using apt or aptitude. i really prefer doing that, as there are lots of packages that the ubuntu default uses [12:04] that i dont need [12:04] zortec: You need to do it the hard way with the minimal install that felix__ pointed out to you.

[12:16] Speaking of open-source, is there an open-source port of Silverlight? [12:16] felix__ I need about 15 packages on the minimal CD right? [12:16] yes, moonlight [12:17] Oh yeah, I forgot about that. Thanks Lithax. [12:17] hello everybedy. I want to ask you how do i run a DVD in UDF format on my Jaunty computer? [12:17] zortec, i cant find a complete list. but most simple is "sudo -i;apt-get update; apt-get install gnome (or kde)" and then install the packages you like in a desktop environment === Zero is now known as Guest7553 [12:18] zortec, or just write down a list of ubuntu livecd and put them after apt-get install [12:19] how can i fix my screen alignment on my monitor? xvidtune appears to do nothing [12:19] zortec, felix__, wouldn't "aptitude install ubuntu-desktop" be more appropriate? [12:20] that should get you everything that would come as standard with Ubuntu, and I seem to recall the ubuntu-* metapackages aid in upgrades between versions as well [12:20] lol, of course. i didnt noticed that package [12:21] felix__, G_A_C: Do I still need all the gnome packages? [12:21] * tannersummers still waits [12:21] zortec, ubuntu-desktop package depends on all ubuntu have [12:21] zortec, no; ubuntu-desktop will get you the full GNOME desktop, kubuntu-desktop would get you KDE, etc [12:22] What is the difference in aptitude and apt-get [12:22] installing ubuntu-desktop should be about 99.99999% identical to installing from a standard desktop CD [12:22] nothing much really, for installing packages you know the name of, just personal preference [12:22] zortec, aptitude is like synaptic, with a ui, in console [12:23] I also like the aptitude text menu "thing", so I've just got used to using aptitude for all my apt needs [12:23] So the only other packages I will need are for my graphics card? [12:23] Or am I missing some others? [12:23] zortec, yes. you will use vesa driver by default [12:23] aptitude handles package conflicts a little more sanely than apt-get [12:23] ubuntu-desktop should pull in the restricted drivers applet, which should install your graphics drivers once you boot into GNOME [12:23] alternatively, there's things like EnvyNG which can do it from the console [12:24] (assuming EnvyNG is still around, and supported anyway) [12:24] Yes, but with my graphics card isn't the problem a vesa driver so don't I need to pull in special drivers? [12:24] That is why I can't get the installer to load on the live cd... [12:25] G_A_C, i used it some days ago. it fails at installing a TNT2 in an old pc [12:25] hardware manager doesnt detect at all [12:25] felix_ that card is ancient [12:25] felix__, probably purely to do with the age of the card; that won't be supported by any Forceware release from Nvidia [12:26] you couldn't get that working even manually, I wouldn't think :\ [12:26] how old is your pc felix [12:26] G_A_C i suspect it would work with the vesa driver [12:26] Even if my card is not supported? nforce 610/7300 NVIDIA [12:26] maybe, but EnvyNG isn't designed for setting things up with vesa... [12:26] It should pull in basic drivers... that is my understanding [12:27] koshari, G_A_C it has a legacy driver. one free and one privative, from nvidia site, i tryed but hw manager didnt recognise neither [12:27] felix__ you would have to manually install that package i suspect [12:27] zortec you shoulnt have to much trouble getting that gpu sorted [12:28] Guys. [12:28] koshari: It's not officially supported which I think is a little strange [12:28] I always thought nvidia was ahead of its game on linux [12:28] felix__, koshari, zortec: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-kernel-common/+bug/195139 [12:28] being how popular of a chipset it is [12:28] for all those who think nvidia TNT2 graphics cards dont work well they do work but u can't "apply" it to be used [12:29] koshari, i did. it is nvidia*71* or smthing like that. i installed all packages that includes a 71 but hw manager stillsaying that no hw is found and so i cant enable the use of privativa. lshw detects the card [12:29] hello. i search in main window of nautilus .htaccess in phpbb folder and it has found nothing [12:29] though there are several htaccess in subdomains [12:30] hidden files are shown [12:30] tiyowan: I also notice that is for 7.10 [12:30] Is Jaunty so buggy with you guys? [12:30] Wouldn't they have improved hardware support with jaunty? [12:30] chadi: it was when i tried it so i had to use intrepid ibex [12:31] zortec: Good point. Let me search the driver packages. [12:32] rikki_max I don't think I will go back to earlier versions though [12:32] zortec tried envy? [12:32] does not anybody know whether 9.04 works with nvidia mx 400, 440 , 440 se... etc ? [12:32] chadi, what problems do u have? [12:32] 8.10 does not [12:32] chadi: intrepid does have all the packages i need and i am using as a server, main pc [12:32] Hi, whats the difference between nvidia glx new and the binary drivers provided by Nvidia [12:32] chadi there are a few bugs, but not unlike previous releases imo [12:32] My notebook keyboard isn't working... I've unplugged my external keyboard at home and now it doesn't work. The problem seems to be o xorg conf, because it works ok on GRUB menu (I can select between operating systems). Any tips? [12:32] zortec: Aha. http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/nvidia-glx-180 [12:33] qdb, yes it does, u need the older nvidia driver [12:33] Aryaan nvidia glx are binarys provided ny nvidia [12:33] zortec: Looks like you're in business. :) [12:33] thank you, lithax. other question: does 8.04? [12:33] Lithax random problems. in my one-month trial, it crashed once, hibernation did not restore twice, some apps closed without notice, compiz had lots of problems [12:34] tiyowan: Do you see the nforce chipset in there? [12:34] i was satisfied with 8.04LTS [12:34] qdp, i have a 8.04 machine working fine with nvidia rwo mx [12:34] 429 mx [12:34] qdb yes , i have a mx card with nvidia which was running 8.04 [12:34] koshari: so i dont have to install the nvidia driver from their site for full functionality? [12:34] thank you [12:34] zortec: I do, sir. GeForce 7050 / nForce 610i right? [12:35] tiyowan: I'll check to make sure. [12:35] Aryaan generaly no, however often the packaged snapshots arent the bleeding edge, but thats generally not a big deal [12:35] GeForce 7050 / NVIDIA nForce 610i [12:35] hello. i search in main window of nautilus .htaccess in phpbb folder and it has found nothing though there are several htaccess in subdomains. hidden files are shown [12:35] tiyowan: That is the video card. [12:36] zortec: There's more. :) [12:36] koshari: would installing the drivers help me to get hibernate working as desktop effects are supposed to hamper hibernate? [12:36] tiyowan: So there is no way to get access to that on the live cd for the installer? [12:36] tiyowan: I would need to use the Minimal CD... [12:36] may be i will test it with artificially made folder with subdirectories and htaccess files [12:36] chadi, if 8.04 aint broke, don't fix it [12:37] fix: though there are several htaccess in subdirectories [12:37] zortec: Hmm. [12:37] Aryaan i wouldnt imagne so [12:37] zortec, does the livecd work? if yes, just open a console and "sudo apt-get install ubiquity; ubiquity" [12:37] zortec: When you try to install from the normal live CD, does your install hang or something? [12:37] how do i run some command for grep result? for example nano found files [12:37] Lithax true... [12:38] The installer hangs on that graphics card. [12:38] It drops me to a busybox guys. [12:38] That is when I try to "Install Ubuntu" from the menu. [12:38] zortec: Okay. [12:38] koshari: okay. do you think ill break my system if i go for the binary drivers? [12:38] zortec: did you do "Check CD for Defects" [12:38] Does anyone know if there are any issues with ext4 and data loss with KDE4 in Ubuntu? [12:38] ziroday: I tried, get the same busybox error. [12:38] Aryaan not if you install the correct ones [12:38] aryaan, not beyond repair [12:39] fika [12:39] orochi_: most ext4 dataloss issues have been resolved, but if you are worried about your data its safer to go with ext3 [12:39] ziroday: It doesn't let me do anything except "Boot to first hard disk" on the live CD [12:39] zortec: What you need to do is get the text-based installed done, and then apt-get the appropriate packages. I don't have the experience to guide you though. [12:39] thanks. is there a way to backup settings before i do? [12:39] zortec: sounds like a bad burn, try burning the image (on a different cd) again [12:39] ziroday: The installer hanging has been reported as bug for his graphic card model. [12:39] ziroday: Ahh, okay, thanks...unfortunately I've already installed on ext4 so hopefully I won't have any issues [12:39] Aryaan there are many ways, from a partimage snapshot to jsut uninstaling the package [12:40] Is there anyone that can guide me through a text based install? [12:40] aryan backup /etc/X11/xorg.conf [12:40] I have never done one... [12:40] tiyowan: but the Check CD for Defects does not rely on X or graphics drivers [12:40] alright, thanks for everything. [12:40] Lithax may I consider Jaunty as being in its alpha stage? [12:40] ziroday: Are you sure it doesn't? [12:40] zortec: certain :) [12:41] ziroday: Which would mean that if zortec were to run the check, it would pass? [12:41] hoping that those bugs will be reported and fixed [12:41] Lithax are any of the graphics settings in xorg.conf > 8.04? [12:41] ziroday: The reason I say that is I used the alternate installer and it didn't detect my cdrom but it loaded the installer... [12:41] I'm curious, what is the oldest Nvidia card still supported by Jaunty? [12:41] ziroday: It is really weird. [12:41] chadi, i've not tried it yet, but i've heard other reports similar to yours [12:41] oh [12:41] IHS_intern: more or less all of them AFAIK, what do you have? [12:42] ziroday, Geforce 2 MX and TNT 2s [12:42] IHS_intern are we counting chips before nvidia bought out fx? [12:42] Hmm, is there another way to test my CD? [12:42] IHS_intern: there are all the older nvidia drivers in the repo's which still support the older cards, and nv might [12:42] IHS_intern: ah well in that case, vesa is probably all you need :) [12:42] koshari, i'm not near my machine to check, but i would guess not [12:42] I checked the MD5 hashes which were the same. [12:43] Also got ATI Rage128s, was wondering if the Nvidia chips would serveme better [12:43] * IHS_intern is getting angered by this space bar [12:43] IHS_intern, i have a tnt2. does yours work? [12:43] IHS_intern a mx2 card with closed binaries will awalk all over a ati 9250 which is a much newer card [12:43] zortec, ah that old bug [12:44] Hi all. Is it normal that in evolution pressing "ins" to switch to overwrite mode does not do anything useful? [12:44] zortec: You'll be able to download that package after you do the minimal install. [12:44] Lithax: Old bug? [12:44] the not finding the cd bug [12:44] tiyowan: I just want to make sure I'm not going to get stuck in the minimal install. [12:44] felix__, I'm using an ATI Rage128 At the moment. got a GeForce2 MX right next to me, but wasn't sure if the drivers were available with the new X.org in Jaunty [12:44] tiyowan: Will I have access to the IRC room? :P [12:45] tiyowan: Preferably without having to boot back into Windows [12:45] zortec: Well, put that way, I can't guarantee. :P [12:45] IHS_intern the mx2 will trounce it [12:45] * Lithax finds that typing from a nokia n810 keyboard ain't so easy after all [12:45] What is the package to install the IRC? [12:46] thanks,everyone that answered. I'll be setting up a new dev. system then. [12:46] zortek "apt-get install xchat [12:46] zortec x-chat ? [12:46] zortec, theres irssi, and xchat, andothers [12:46] Oh, but wouldn't it be a part of the ubuntu-desktop package? [12:46] it is [12:46] zortec: because pidgin supports irc [12:46] zortec: Considering the scenario that you won't have any graphics - irssi. [12:46] That seems a better way to go than installing all the gnome packages [12:46] Do you agree? [12:46] is it possible to have windows read a FAT32 partition off a ubuntu harddrive? [12:46] zortec i just use pidgin [12:47] Lovok cant see why not [12:47] Lovok: it should do that alone but if it doesnt then you won't have any way to convince windows to do that [12:47] zortec: You won't have to install everything by yourself when you go with the minimal install. It'll guide you using text. [12:47] One last concern, will I have access to my network? [12:47] I'm on a wired ADSL connection. [12:47] lovok there's no such thing as an 'ubuntu' hd if the partition's fat32 windows should read it [12:47] Lovok: it should just appear in MyComputer [12:48] how can i remove python [12:48] zortec: pppoeconf [12:48] zortec ehternet should be a soda, wifi could be a drama if you need madwifi ect [12:48] sandeep_: probably you can not... many things depend on python being installed [12:48] Le-Chuck_ITA: The Minimal install won't configure that automatically? [12:48] zortec: I don't know :) [12:48] thanks for the replies ; the way it works now, i have XP on hd(0,0), and fat32 on hd(1,0), / on hd(1,1), /home on hd(1,2), swap on hd(1,3) ; XP doesn'T see the fat32 [12:48] I still have no idea what is going to happen when I get into the Minimal install... but I get the feeling it's all command line based. [12:49] zortec: but pppoeconf will work very well :) [12:49] zortec: Hmm. Can your hardware run a virtual machine? [12:49] sandeep, if u use gnome, it's probably best u don't [12:49] zortec, i use wifi and i hadn any problem with jaunty minimal [12:49] tiyowan: Yeah I was running Ubuntu for awhile on VirtualBox [12:49] tiyowan: But it has access to the video drivers for my chipset [12:49] zortec: There you go. VMs are great for testing this kind of test. [12:49] zortec its pretty wast to follos, just like the alternative installer except you need to download heaps of packages or use a proxy with local apt packages [12:49] erUSUL: i have installed python2.5 from source on my centos pc for trac [12:49] but now my yum is not working [12:50] zortec, have you tried an alternate install? [12:50] Lithax: I have an alternate CD, but it can't locate my cdrom and so it's going in a loop [12:50] sandeep, u realise this is an ubuntu chatroom? [12:50] When I tell it I don't have any drivers, it tells me again it can't locate my cdrom [12:50] zortec do you have a usb stick? [12:50] yes [12:50] zortec, oh right [12:51] koshari: I think I have a 1GB usb drive laying around [12:51] I see "1442 members" in this chat room, but can I tell how many people are currently logged in? [12:51] zortec use that to install [12:51] sandeep: Perhaps the folks in the Centos channel could guide you? [12:51] koshari: Is there a guide on that? :P [12:51] zortec 3 liner, boot live disc, create usb install, install from usb :-) [12:52] koshari: That's a great idea. [12:52] ok [12:52] thanks [12:52] koshari: Where is "create usb install"? [12:52] zortec: Can you boot into the live cd? [12:52] !usb | zortec [12:52] tiyowan: I can boot into it, just can't use any of the menu [12:52] zortec: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [12:53] zortec sys > adm >createusb [12:53] zortec: hi === saulus_ is now known as SauLus [12:53] zortec, how old is your pc? [12:53] Lithax: I built it about 3 months ago [12:54] zortec: hi [12:54] zortec the bios is sure to support booting from sb then [12:54] usb [12:54] koshari: I'm not sure that option was in my bios [12:54] Is it possible to start Ubuntu dismissing xorg.conf from grub menu? [12:54] zortec: hi [12:55] zortec you prolly just never looked hard enough [12:55] Quick question. The build-essentials, headers, available through the alternate installer CD right? [12:55] livingdaylight: Hi, do you have a question? [12:55] zortec, trypowering off, plugging in your USB pen, then powering on with it plugged in and checking the BIOS [12:55] zortec, it'll be in the boot options, maybe as removable media [12:55] zortec: no, why? [12:55] your USB pen will probably be listed as a hard drive, most modern BIOSes will give you a choice of which order to boot your HDs [12:55] livingdaylight: You keep saying hi :) [12:56] I now see "1440 members" in this chat room - but can I tell how many people are currently logged in? [12:56] warrio, boot to init 3 if you don't want X [12:56] Hi everyone!!!!! [12:56] zortec: just being friendly, but you keep ignoring me :( [12:56] warrio, boot to init 3 if you don't want X [12:56] chocobanana: HI! [12:56] Hmm, so I have multiple options: USB install, minimal CD, or alternate text install [12:56] G_A_C mine recignises the usb hardware and prints the name of it in the bios or gives a generic usb key option, both generally work [12:56] :) [12:56] zortec: Least painful is USB install. [12:56] yeah, it's BIOS dependent [12:56] hi chocobanana! [12:56] chocobanana: great combination [12:56] livingdaylight: I didn't mean to ignore you, just been trying to get ubuntu installed on my system for 2 days [12:56] my Asus at home lists a "USB 2.0 Pendrive" entry under my two main HDs [12:56] you bet! [12:56] but still treats it as a hard drive [12:56] zortec you could even install to the hdd in another machine and do the switchseroo [12:57] It's nice to find such a friendly community though and people that are willing to help. [12:57] a lot of Intel desktop boards (Phoenix BIOS, I think) will give them their own USB devices section [12:57] scooterthenoob: This isn't really on-topic for this channel, but: /who [12:57] zortec: hence your fuse is a bit short... ic [12:57] does anyone know how to configure Ubuntu 9.04's new notifications display position? [12:57] chocobanana: You cannot. [12:57] oh! [12:57] zortec you can boot the usblive session just like the disc and see if it works [12:57] chocobanana: indeed not configurable [12:57] I'm going to see if I can find the usb if not then we'll do the minimal install [12:58] zortec: you should get entry into world guinness book of records.. I would've thought it impossible to take that long... took me about 20minutes [12:58] livingdaylight, it's a bit odd to just stay on orc saying hi to everyone [12:58] irc [12:58] that's terrible. If you use a dual screen setup with the secondary screen on the right, it looks nasty [12:58] !offtopic [12:58] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [12:58] Lithax: what an odd thing to say [12:58] zortec and if you have a drama just create the usb install in another machine, and then boot the prepared usb stick in the one you wanna isntall [12:58] well, I'm sure the devs are aware of the problem... [12:59] livingdaylight: It really shouldn't take that long, but I have a graphics card that is not supported on the live cd or rather I can't get access to the packages I need to run it [12:59] what have u said that's of any use to anyone? [12:59] zortec: shux... agues you hadn't had linux in mind at the time of building your machine? [12:59] zortec: which graphics cards is that? [12:59] livingdaylight: I actually had windows/linux in mind when I built the computer [12:59] hi all ..can any1 help me [13:00] ok I managed to boot the iso from my existing grub using http://deepbluespaces.blogspot.com/2008/07/install-ubuntu-804-from-hard-disk.html [13:00] saif: ask your question [13:00] hey, i have two strange problems with jaunty on my laptop: 1.) 99% of the time when i resume from suspend... X has crashed and i'm back at the GDM login prompt 2.) X never seems to idle and suspend on its own, power management says it should after 10 min, but it never does [13:00] chocobanana: nvidia geforce 7300/nforce 610i chipset [13:00] i think my graphic card is not working properly [13:00] problem is I can;t install because it said it needs to comit stuff to the partition table..and I got the drive mounted (since i run the iso off it) [13:00] zortec: the nv or nouveau driver don't work? [13:00] any ideas? [13:00] I just got an Eee 900A, and it will only "mirror" when I want to run an external monitor. Anyone know how I might "extend the desktop" to my external LCD (and increase resolution)?? [13:00] Will installling Ubuntu help? [13:00] said: please go to the point [13:01] saif: please go to the point * [13:01] chocobanana: I can't get the installer going. It crashes to a busybox prompt [13:01] hey guys, what means the "rc" in bash .bashrc? [13:01] how can i make it work [13:01] Can you do a text based install from the live cd? [13:01] guys any program i cna download that can tell me hardware information? more spefic the slot on my mobo that i can place a video card in? i need to find out if i have pci express or agp [13:01] zortec: is that the problem you were having yesterday? [13:01] scooterthenoob: Menu->System->Preferences->Display allows your to manipulate displays [13:01] chocobanana: Same problem. [13:02] zortec: why not from the alternate installer disk? [13:02] davidh38: run commands [13:02] flintwingel: thx, I did that and the only option is "mirror" (if you want both displays at the same time) [13:02] chocobanana: I have been at it now for 2 days, but I did get some sleep and woke up and trying to get it working. [13:02] : i cant use visualeffect or compiz because of it [13:02] saif: what's the machine graphics card? [13:02] : even though it was great on 8.1 [13:02] does anybody know what "rc" in .bashrc means? [13:02] guys any program i cna download that can tell me hardware information? more spefic the slot on my mobo that i can place a video card in? i need to find out if i have pci express or agp [13:02] davidh38: I just answered you [13:02] same with .conkyrc or .zshrc [13:02] Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller [13:02] chocobanana: There is a bug in the alternate installer. It doesn't locate my cdrom [13:03] pici: thank you, sorry [13:03] chocobanana: It's going in a loop for some odd reason. [13:03] tannersummers: Hmm, good question... [13:03] chocobanana Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller [13:03] tannersummers, hardinfo [13:03] tannersummers: hwinfo [13:03] zortec: do you have a USB stick? You could make a bootable USB alternate installer. Do you have 9.04 installed on another machine? [13:03] scooterthenoob: if "Mirror Screens" in not checked then you should have two separate screens [13:04] chocobanana: That is what they suggested in the IRC room or a Minimal Install [13:04] or just run lspci from cli [13:04] saif: I know someone who has the same problem but I'm not sure why. You could try searching in the forums. [13:04] chocobanana: I have to go find that usb stick [13:04] zortec: it might be quicker to return or resale your graphics card and get one that is supported out of the box? [13:04] Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller [13:04] zortec: is your internet connection wired or wireless? [13:04] : thanx [13:04] livingdaylight: It is integrated. I can't sell it, lol. [13:04] saif: good luck [13:05] livingdaylight: But I can replace it with a PCI-E card. [13:05] zortec: yea! [13:05] saif : I'm sure you'll find something meaningful in the forums [13:05] i have a problem with the deskbar, sometimes it doesnt come to the front, but stays in the back, though i invoked it. I could even right something in, and it would start, but i cannot see it quite good. Does anybody know of the "bug"?

[13:19] tiyowan, just IRC and banshee and system monitor now [13:19] he cold rebooted [13:19] zortec: how about the minimal installation? Once it's up and running, all you need to do is sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [13:19] we got to GDM! [13:19] not sur what we did [13:20] we [13:20] TheFunkbomb: I'd use ps and top to find out what's going on. [13:20] tiyowan, npviewer.bin is the problem it looks like. [13:20] TheFunkbomb: Kill it. [13:20] chocobanana: Which is easier? minimal install or usb install === aymerick is now known as wirenet [13:21] chi è italiano?? [13:21] chocobanana: I was doing the usb install [13:21] Hi! I'm trying to change my user and my root password but when I do a 'passwd' and I type my password and repeat it, it does nothing and my console freezes...

[13:21] !root | tbergeron [13:21] tbergeron: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [13:21] tbergeron: but it shouldn't freeze... that's a bit odd.. [13:21] TheFunkbomb: nvm, it's Adobe's Flash plugin [13:22] zortec: well, is the machine connected to the internet wired or wirelessly? [13:22] tiyowan, yeah. I had two instances running. No wonder I was running 10 degrees higher than normal [13:22] chocobanana: Wired [13:22] tbergeron: what version of ubuntu are you running? [13:22] Slart: I have ubuntu server. And I have a root password. Hey I'm not a noob, this is serious I tried with several tips from my sysadmin aswell.... [13:22] go minimal then: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [13:22] Ubuntu Server 9 [13:22] TheFunkbomb: Just drop down to the command line and kill the plugin everytime you finish using firefox. [13:23] ok I managed to install ubuntu. but it wrote over my already existing grub that picks it's files from a separate partition...how can I get that one back to use with ubuntu? [13:23] yeah. I'll have to do that. Or find a fix [13:23] tiyowan: I'm downloading the files to create the usb install with unetbootin. [13:23] zortec: Great. :) [13:23] It's going to take awhile. :P [13:23] TheFunkbomb: Go for it. [13:23] tbergeron: you've checked the logs? no info there? [13:23] what program should I use to let some programs to use only some part of the bandwith at maximum? [13:23] tiyowan, I'm looking at the forums now. [13:23] zortec: minimal iso is 10mb :D [13:24] tiyowan [13:24] This one is 699MB. [13:24] It's only 2% done. [13:24] chocobanana: He's getting the normal iso to use with unetbootin. [13:24] tannersummers: ? [13:24] zortec, you downloading via FTP or torrents? [13:25] http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i172/Tanner2007/finally.png [13:25] =] [13:25] I'm downloading from http://caesar.acc.umu.se/mirror/ubuntu-releases/9.04/ubuntu-9.04-desktop-i386.iso [13:25] wraith0x2b: Could you please clarify your problem? [13:25] xci, depends what kind of programs, for downloads id recommend using bittorrent [13:25] tiyowan: the idea is just to get it started quickly. poor soul has been dealing with this for 2 days :) [13:25] tannersummers, how much ram do you have that you're using a 4.4gb swap? [13:25] tannersummers: Awesome. [13:26] the funk bomb idk dud ei just made it sincei had to delete my old and gave it a good amount of mb [13:26] What advantage does the usb install have? [13:26] probably not much, TheFunkbomb. My 2Gb laptop has a 5.2Gb swapfile, that Ubuntu set up for as part of the autopartitioning [13:26] but physical i have 4 gb of ram [13:26] you don't know how much ram you have? [13:26] o 4 gb [13:26] physical [13:27] oh, that's about right then. [13:27] Slart: in which logfile should there be any infos about this? [13:27] is there anyone here who have expirience with some software for statical analysis by finite elements analysis method ? [13:27] Yeah, when I set up my Ubuntu, it gave me an 11gb swap. I was like "what the blazes?" I shrunk it down to 5gb [13:27] I still have to confirm that I can boot from usb in my bios. [13:27] tbergeron: well.. if the passwd binary fails for some reason I would guess the syslog.. possible kern.log [13:27] chocobanana: Agreed. But a systematic approach would help in solving the problem. :) [13:27] I really hope so. [13:27] tannersummers: So you did it huh? :) [13:28] tiyowan: either options are valid, let's wait and see the outcome of the first choice :) [13:28] tiyowan, I already had a linux installed, whit it's own grub and menu.lst. I installed ubuntu and grub reinstalled over my old one, so it gets it's files from my new ubuntu partition. if I decide to remove ubuntu I won't be able to boot again. so I want the old grub back. easy task? [13:28] tiyowan yup and school starts in less then 2 hours..screw that im sleeping all day haha brb guys thanks [13:28] Hy! I need help whit Skype install on Ubuntu 9.04. I'v read posts on ubuntu forums, they say to install out of date version, and (...do this and that...)m but at first step I get - Error: Wrong architecture 'i386'... I'm realy satisfied whit ubuntu, but have issues to solve =) [like an ActionScript editor design for linux, no Wine tricks... but thats next step] - does this error have... [13:28] ...something to do whit my CPU? [13:28] is there text editor that allow to choose character encoding? [13:28] chocobanana: Agreed. [13:28] tiyowan: it's a deal, lol [13:28] I'll show you my partition lol [13:28] wraith0x2b, very easy, using a live cd [13:29] jophish, I can;t boot cd's. took me 2 hours to install ubuntu using casper :) [13:29] 12%. It's going to be a good 15-20 mins. I'll be back soon. [13:29] hey guys my desktop has stopped doing effects and when i goto apperance in settings i get told unable to make changes u got any ideas [13:29] wraith0x2b: Sure. As long as you haven't done anything to your old partitions, it should be easy enough to setup grub to boot into the old partitions. [13:29] I chrooted from ubuntu and will attempt a grub install [13:29] old partition is fine [13:29] gorbierd: several.. scite would be one, I think.. Editra too..you can probably make vim/emacs do it too but I have no idea how.. pressing a gazillion keys at once perhaps =) [13:29] editing menu.lst as we speak..to allow booting of ubuntu [13:29] hi there [13:30] I have installed wine in ubuntu [13:30] this is how I have mine partitioned: http://img190.imageshack.us/img190/2312/screenshotdevsdagparted.png [13:30] zortec: I'm going to go for a break now - you'll be around right? [13:30] My main aim is to install livezilla client in ubuntu [13:30] what ? [13:30] xieles: Livezilla? What's that? [13:30] installatin went ok.. but I cannot open open live zilla [13:31] hey guys my desktop has stopped doing effects and when i goto apperance in settings i get told unable to make changes u got any ideas [13:31] tiyowan: I'll be around for a while. [13:31] Livezilla is a live chat program [13:31] nimrod: install from medibuntu if you need it [13:31] is there debs for a 2.6.30 kernel in jaunty? [13:31] it is only available in exe format [13:31] SirFunk_, there's a PPA for "mainline" kernels I think, ie kernels with no Ubuntu mods [13:31] that PPA might well have some [13:31] * clocKwize would like a AWN system-tray applet that takes up one icon area for each icon in the tray (e.g. they don't look like tray icons at all, but seperate icons) [13:32] G_A_C: i want the ubuntu mods :-P [13:32] then probably not, unless you feel like upgrading to the unstable version and it has the right version :) [13:32] <<< is googleing medibuntu.... [13:32] 9.10 will have 2.6.30 but i don't want to switch entirely to kermerik (or however you spell it) [13:32] xieles: Have you tried asking on the livezilla forums? [13:32] is there any way to just upgrade the kernel to what's in unstable? [13:33] ok grub reinstalled from chroot...wish me luck :D [13:33] hi, how could I know which line of the sources.list cause this error : http://pastebin.com/d392167d3 [13:33] Weed37: did you make changes to your graphics driver? [13:33] they do not provide anyinfo for installing it in linux machines.. [13:33] there is, SirFunk_,with apt pinning (I think it's called) [13:33] and it boots :D [13:33] hi [13:33] so i tried to install it using wine [13:33] try googling for "apt pinning" or something like that, but I probably wouldn't want to do it with something as core as the kernel [13:33] G_A_C: ahh yes, that sounds familiar, i'll look into that [13:34] xieles: http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i172/Tanner2007/finally.pnghttp://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i172/Tanner2007/finally.png [13:34] xieles: Yikes. One moment, please. === christian is now known as Guest26381 [13:34] Slart: nothing about passwd in both of these files :S [13:34] well, I guess the good news is that even under 100% load, my CPU only gets up to 47c [13:34] xieles: http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=737598 <- Livezilla + Linux - The thinking is to run it in a virtual machine in Linux.

[13:35] hey guys my desktop has stopped doing effects and when i goto apperance in settings i get told unable to make changes u got any ideas [13:36] Hi. Question please: Is there a shortcut for change current desktop? Something like Alt+Ctrl+[Arrow], but Alt+Ctrl+[1-9]? [13:36] tbergeron: and running "passwd" just does nothing.. doesn't return, doesn't give any error messages? [13:36] that is TheFunkbomb [13:36] Weed37, I see. Go into System/Administration/Hardware Drivers. You're using a Nvidia gpu, right? [13:36] mmm4m5m: what you said... with the arrow [13:36] yeah [13:36] where is the Cpu Frequency Panel Monitor? [13:36] Hey, do you guys know of a reason why my install of ubuntu 9.04 is freezing at random points during the install process, I've had install at 27%/34% and during the partion manager section. [13:36] sec [13:36] nvm [13:36] mmm4m5m: you can remap them in your keyboard settings [13:37] Weed37, go in there and make sure you're using the restricted drivers. [13:37] scunizi: thanks.. want to do it with one hand :). Myrtti: thanks, will check it. [13:37] Dawsey: Have you verified your CD? [13:37] tiyowan: Yes that passed without errors [13:37] Weed37: What is the exact msg you get? [13:37] How can I stupidly increase the speed on-boot? :) [13:37] unbale to make changes is the error [13:38] hello [13:38] Dawsey: Have you tried googling for ubuntu support for your hardware? [13:38] Weed37, go in there and make sure you're using the restricted drivers. what u mean m8 ? [13:38] wraith0x2b: right click on the bottom or top panel and click Add.. [13:38] yeah did that [13:38] Markeh: turn off services you don't need in System/Admin/Services [13:38] Weed37, did you go into hardware? [13:38] been years since I used ubuntu [13:38] yeah i see 2 drivers [13:38] Weed37, do you see one for your video card? [13:38] Myrtti: nice, thanks [13:38] i [13:38] Markeh: put more ram in your system, a faster hard drive, a faster processor, then remove all modules and stuff that are being loaded that aren't needed, then use a light weight window manager, few start up apps etc [13:38] wraith0x2b: wecome back [13:39] 1 is 180 other 173 [13:39] hi [13:39] wraith0x2b: it should have a CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor ready for you to add... [13:39] the 180 is recomended [13:39] Markeh: Use a minimalist distribution. [13:39] Weed37, then choose 180. [13:39] Tiyowan: what particular part of my hardware would be causing screen freezes, my graphics card / mobo, sorry but I'm not too sure what exactly the problem is. Generalised searching is not returning anything similar to my situation [13:39] <`andy> i've done an accidental chown of /* and altough I broke it just in time [13:39] is the green light on? [13:39] Where do I get a light weight window manager from? [13:39] ok i gotta restart lappy back in a few [13:39] yeah [13:39] kk [13:39] dawsey: What are your hardware specs? Graphics card? [13:40] Markeh: synaptic [13:40] Alright, looking now. [13:40] <`andy> after i've done an accidental chown of /* and altough I broke it just in time su root doesn't work anymore, altough the password is correct it gives me "su: incorrect password" any idea how to fix it ? [13:40] !xubuntu | markeh [13:40] markeh: Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels [13:40] Markeh: Xfce is pretty lightweight. So if Fluxbox. [13:41] Tiyowan: I have nvidia 7950gt [13:41] tiyowan, yeah I know that.. but can we install windows applications in linux using wine ? [13:41] there are so many options for window managers for linux [13:41] xieles: Yes. [13:41] hi [13:41] Hmm, an ubuntu user on twitter says that a minimal install is not going to work. That I can use SUSE if I'm pressed for time... [13:41] trying out Xfce now [13:41] hello, anyone have expirience with some structural analysis software for linux ? [13:41] soulwarp1: lots... fun isn't it :) [13:41] Dawsey: One moment, please. [13:41] Why would anyone suggest SUSE? o.O [13:41] i tried that way. and installation went ok... but cant open it [13:41] xieles: for compatability check with winehq.org [13:41] anyone recall the grub command to install grub from a different root? (/dev/sdb2 is mounted as /mnt and i need to update /dev/sdb with the grub menu in /mnt/boot/grub) [13:42] hi [13:42] hello [13:42] how o change font color [13:43] Dose Xfce allow the same kind of themes to be used? (GTK I think?) [13:43] Dawsey: Hmmm....seems to check out. Can you boot into the live CD? [13:43] Markeh: you'll have some themes...but probably not the extent that gnome does...thats why it's lightweight..it's got less in it ;) [13:44] Ah, ok. [13:44] how about this [13:44] tiyowan, yeah I can yet it also freezes eventually after about 10 minutes of use [13:44] Markeh < clocKwize [13:44] ali nisam nista sam uspeo da nadjem a treba mi takav softver, please, i need help [13:44] Slart: no, no error messages. Nothing at all. I'm sshing into my vps, I do passwd and it when I'm finished entering my second password it freezes and I must quit my terminal and reconnect. And once I reconnect the password hasn't been changed. [13:44] hello, anyone have expirience with some structural analysis software for linux ? please, i need help [13:45] Dawsey: Okay...so when you use the Live CD...after about ten minutes, it just hangs? Can you drop into a terminal when it hangs? [13:45] tbergeron: ooh. so the first part works... you get the password prompt twice [13:45] what's up now??? [13:46] TheFunkbomb, got it working thanks m8 [13:46] how much time should it take to mkextfs over a 1TB volume? [13:46] lfaraone: ext3 ? [13:46] erUSUL: Yes. [13:47] tiyowan, yeah the screen just freezes and nothing happens, I remember I had this exact problem with 8.04 kubuntu install that fixed itself when I configured my xorg.conf. In that situation the screen would freeze but I could type in a command in terminal blindly to cause a system beep and that would work. [13:47] scunizi, I have installed wine using apt-get [13:47] my ubuntu no voice [13:47] lfaraone: quite some time if it is a terabyte [13:47] who can help me [13:47] erUSUL: it's been going on for ~4 minutes. [13:47] hello, anyone have expirience with some structural analysis software for linux ? please, i need help [13:47] erUSUL: Ok. [13:47] xieles: for program compatabiliity in wine check their main site. It saves the guess work.. [13:47] Weed37, no problem! [13:47] lfaraone: XFS or JFS mkfs are almost instantaneous but ext3 is not === _CShadowRun is now known as CShadowRun [13:48] erUSUL: k, thanks. [13:48] Dawsey: That's interesting. So you can actually access the terminal? [13:48] tbergeron: well.. I haven't seen this problem before.. I've tried changing passwords using ssh or regular terminal.. I've tried it on a server install 9.04 in a vm.. it worked every time [13:49] tiyowan: Not during this install I can't but I haven't tried to access the terminal on the live cd. My cd drive and my hard drive are still active despite my screen being frozen so I have suspicion that the install is still going ahead. Does the ubuntu install require any prompts upon completion and how long does it take because I'm wondering if I can do it blindly [13:49] I got message from stranger msn contact when I use pidgin messenger. Is it a bug or security issue? [13:50] chinosuke: it's normal when using msn, just don't open any links. [13:50] help me thanks my ubuntu no sound [13:50] chinosuke, it's to do with your privacy settings, maybe Pidgin is allowing unknown contacts where you would have set MSN Messenger to block them [13:50] no voice at all [13:50] !sound > zhoujingrui [13:50] zhoujingrui, please see my private message [13:50] chinosuke: http://g0.fi/jEI === cory is now known as Guest91430 [13:51] Slart: this is weird :S [13:51] Dawsey: Well, I'd recommend against rushing into the install blindly. Better to do a bit of testing with the Live CD first. Could you try that out now actually? Try booting into the Live CD, and checking whether you can get to a terminal when your system hangs. [13:52] guys, how do i know if my graphics card is fully accelerated etc? [13:52] tbergeron: and you are trying to change your regular user password? [13:52] Dawsey: Because it would be bad if you went ahead with the install only to find yourself with an unusable system. [13:52] tiyowan: Alright I will try but I will need to wait for it to freeze, what is a bash command that will cause a system beep on the live cd. [13:53] atm, i notice in vmware, it complains i don't have an hardware accelerator and it will decrease performance or something [13:53] Dawsey: what version of ubuntu are you trying to install? [13:53] Dawsey: beep? [13:53] histo: 9.04 [13:53] clocKwize: vmware with win7? [13:53] tiyowan: I don't think beep is installed by default [13:54] Dawsey, the beep command [13:54] tiyowan: 60% done [13:54] Dawsey, histo: echo -en "\007" [13:54] Dawsey: THe other option is to install with the alternate iso. [13:54] !info beep [13:54] beep (source: beep): advanced pc-speaker beeper. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.2.2-22 (jaunty), package size 23 kB, installed size 100 kB [13:54] macvr: yes, and os x [13:54] clocKwize: do you mean the vm'd os complains? [13:54] no, i mean vm has a popup saying it that [13:54] vmware* [13:54] Does anybody know why USB events (adding/removing devices) no longer shows up in the syslog? [13:54] tiyowan: When the screen is frozen on my old kubunt to install I could ctrl-alt-f1 into a terminal and type a command to system beep but I couldn't actually see anyhting my monitor would continue to display the frozen screen [13:54] Running 8.04. Working until about 1 week ago. [13:55] zortec: Ok. [13:55] Dawsey: Ctrl+G does beep [13:55] clocKwize: that's weird because vmware can be run headless with no gui at all. why would it care if it was running in an accelerated environment or not. Have you installed vmware tools in the vm you're running? [13:55] Dawsey: Were you able to use your old kubuntu system properly eventually? [13:56] clocKwize: i get the same, its because vmware uses a software emulation of ur graphics card... [13:56] tiyowan: yeah when I eventually configured the xorg.conf correctly to work with the nvidia drivers all the freezing stopped completely [13:57] Dawsey: so you are experiencing a problem with the nv drivers. You can install the restrcited drivers on the live cd. [13:57] clocKwize: macvr is correct for running virtual machines.. it does help to have vmware tools installed in the vm you're running. === tuxlinux_ is now known as tuxlinux [13:57] i see, so.. why does it use software rendering? [13:58] Hello, my BACKSPACE key doesnt work as "Back" in Firefox - what is wrong? === aaa is now known as ankuraaa [13:58] Slart: i tried with root and my user aswell.. [13:58] ManDay: lol, i noticed that...rather annoying [13:58] ManDay: Is the key broken? [13:58] No. It still works perfectly fine [13:58] clocKwize: u can try virtualbox, they have a new experimental 3D acceleration with is suppoed to use the graphics card , but it doesnt work for my card u can try it though... [13:59] clocKwize: all virtual machines do becausee it's creating a layer between the virtual machine and your actual machine.. a vm can't access the video card directly. [13:59] Dawsey: Sorry, I was afk. Well. It's up to you then. If you've got some time on your hands, then I suppose you could skip the testing, and try installing from the alternate installer, and then pop back in here and have some of the folks help you setup your card properly from the get-go. [13:59] well, anyway, i'm not too bothered about vmware problem [13:59] i just want to know if my actual ubuntu install is picking up the correct display drivers and being accelerated? [14:00] clocKwize: if compiz and extra grahics settings are working... u r good [14:00] i downloaded a game, can't remember what it's called ,but it runs at like 1fps with gfx up high and about 15 fps if they are normal..which is a damn sight less than i'd get in windows [14:00] clocKwize: if you're running ubuntu in a vm then it's probably set itself up for a generic video driver.. [14:01] ManDay: Try the following and see if it helps: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/linux/make-backspace-key-work-correctly-in-firefox-on-linux/ [14:01] scunizi: ignore the vm thing, i'm not running in a vm [14:01] hello i add new partition , /dev/sda3 i want to add /home to it . on fstab so i can use quota on it, how ? thx [14:01] i'm running things in a vm in ubuntu [14:01] but disregard anything to do with vm [14:01] tiyowan: I guess so, I'm going to try installing one more time before I go to sleep, considering the hard drive / cd rom activity and my prior experience of things still running behind the frozen screen I think I may try and install despite it being frozen. [14:01] ManDay: the backspace function to previous page was removed because it caused some webpages to not function correctly. You can turn it on in the link you just saw but consider not doing so. [14:02] zortec: did it work?

[14:02] chocobanana: Still doing the first method [14:02] Lost_Warior-: www.caelinux.com/ [14:02] ManDay: the button in so far as I know. [14:02] Dawsey: I don't think there are any prompts.

[14:03] dhocobanana thank youl, i`ll check it [14:03] tiyowan: Excellent and thanks for your help, if it doesn't work I'll have a look at histo idea tomorrow of installing the nv drivers on the live cd and see how that works. [14:04] ManDay: there isn't one that I know of, just clicking the button sadly. [14:04] Dawsey: No problem; have a good night. [14:04] wao, it`s hole distribution for structural analysis [14:04] :) [14:04] You too [14:04] whole [14:04] wha that aint nice scampbell [14:04] but thanks [14:04] ONLINE Strategy GAME >> http://href.hu/x/95rh >OR< http://www.hackthat.net/df/ddos/74576/index.hack !

It really helps to have more people physically present to provide assistance. [14:16] What is nUbuntu? [14:16] wattson: you can search for apps in synaptic or use the command line apropos (search term) or man -k (search term) you need to learn how ot use the man pages.

I have just spent about 2 days trying to get ubuntu installed and I have a headache. [15:14] is there some way to actually login as a root account in ubuntu? [15:14] paolo: obviously make sure everything is plugged in... check your hardware drivers and your settings to make sure that the card is the default sound player [15:14] it seems since jaunty uses xorg 1.6 that my ati radeon 9600 no longer has s-video tv out capabilities. i am probably going to get a geforce 6200. does anyone here have any first hand knowledge as to whether tv out works with jaunty and the geforce 6200?

[15:14] tiyowan The usb install didn't work. It was already set in the bios to boot from the usb and it would not boot. [15:14] cluster2: what happened before you rebooted? [15:14] well, its been 6 months, so alot [15:15] okay spsneo [15:15] spsneo, what wireless card do you have? [15:15] spsneo, what wifi device are you using? usb wireless? [15:15] kind of hard to pinpoint it down to any one thing [15:15] _dr, with compiz? [15:15] tiyowan: I think I have a usb stick that does not boot, just my luck of course. [15:15] zortec: Yikes. [15:15] tiyowan: Sorry, I'm trying to be optimist here. [15:15] cluster2: What message do you get when you run "sudo echo" in a terminal? [15:16] the audio controller is: intel corporation 82801jl ( ich10 family) and worked correctly until yesterday. where I check if that card is the default audio card? howewer is the only audio card on my computer [15:16] cluster2: well, only you know what you might have done to break it, but you can reboot into single user mode to get a root shell [15:16] no its dell studio 15 laptop [15:16] zortec: Okay. :) So let's try the next option. Have you tried doing an alternate install? [15:16] try installing linux-backports-module [15:16] > Sorry, user cluster is not allowed to execute '/bin/echo foo' as root on cluster-laptop. [15:16] tiyowan So now try a minimal install? I think that is all that is left to do. [15:16] paolo: give me a second. I know where it is in Kubuntu, but not Ubuntu... XD [15:16] tiyowan: Alternate install had a bug where it did not find my cdrom. [15:16] cluster2: Ok, when you run groups, is admin listed? [15:16] zortec: Well, standard install's out. USB install's not possible. Alternate install can't find the CD. Hmm. [15:17] tiyowan: I had no drivers for the cdrom so it would loop. [15:17] no, the groups are root and a couple of custom groups [15:17] paolo: ok, go to System->Preferences->Sound [15:17] ok! thank you [15:17] ok [15:17] zortec: Should try the minimal install now. [15:18] paolo: everything should be "autodetect" try changing it to your card and testing it. [15:18] so i can reboot into a root shell and add the admin group should do it? [15:18] tiyowan: Will it detect my wired network? [15:18] tiyowan: I'll want to get back in the IRC room :) [15:18] Severity1: I am having dell studio 15 laptop [15:18] here there are a lot of devices, but there is an only audio card on my computer! I try to select autodetect, but without results [15:19] zortec: I don't think it should be a problem. Anyway, if it doesn't, you could always boot into Windows temporarily. [15:19] tiyowan: I did write down the package irssi [15:19] spsneo, if you open a terminal and type 'lspci' it should tell you what wireless chipset you have [15:19] paolo: Try selecting (your card) Digital (ALSA) [15:20] currently I am accessing net from vista.. as I am not able to connect to wireless from ubuntu [15:20] cluster2: recovery mode -> "adduser yourusername admin", but you are missing some other groups too, like audio (to use audio cards) and plugdev (to have access to pluggable devices) etc... [15:20] tkmr: ok .... just a moment [15:20] slobad23: ^^ [15:20] slobad23: Severity1 : its broadcom netlink card [15:21] where can i get a list of the default groups that ubuntu supports? somehow i guess i nuked my users groups [15:21] is there a hardware compatibility list for jaunty that will tell me which video cards are compatible? the ubuntu HCL i found looks to be very outdated [15:21] legend2440: I would like that list too. [15:21] erUSUL: thx for the answer [15:21] spsneo, http://www.broadcom.com/support/ethernet_nic/netlink.php - they have linux drivers here [15:21] erUSUL: a bit late but :) [15:22] legend2440: Well...9.04's still pretty new so I'd imagine it'd be difficult to gather the data. [15:22] tkmr: the test, after i select digital alsa, answer me with an error: audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: aound not open audio device for playback [15:22] tiyowan: yes thats true [15:23] slobad23: problem is very peculiar. .. my ubuntu previously used to detect wifi and presently it detects some wifi links which are of no use to me.. but it does not detect just one wifi link which is of use to me. so I guess this is not the problem of wifi driver. any suggestions? [15:23] tiyowan: I'm going to burn the ISO for the minimal install and give it a whirl. [15:23] legend2440: But such a list would be indispensable. [15:23] hey all, anyone have quick questions? [15:24] zortec: Yes, please do that. If you experience any problems with the minimal install, then I'd suggest to take your box to the local user group. :) [15:24] tiyowan: Or get another graphics card. :) === ben is now known as Guest43193 [15:24] paolo: I didn't even think about this before, lets check and make sure Ubuntu is seeing your card, in terminal run this command: sudo lshw [15:24] can someone recommend a video card with s-video tv out that they know works with Jaunty? ever since xorg 1.6 my ati radeon 9600 card does not work [15:25] zortec: Yes, but remember, do -check- how well the card is supported by linux before buying it. === spsneo_ is now known as spsneo [15:26] slobad23: problem is very peculiar. .. my ubuntu previously used to detect wifi and presently it detects some wifi links which are of no use to me.. but it does not detect just one wifi link which is of use to me. so I guess this is not the problem of wifi driver. any suggestions?

Grow up, I was helping him [15:38] hey, how can I make it so that no binaries can be marked +x in a directory without putting the directory on a fs marked noexec? [15:39] pl3ktrum: I'd suspect incompatibility between Wubi and Windows 7. Considering that Windows 7 isn't all that different from its predecessor, the next logical step would be try to install Ubuntu alongside Windows 7. [15:39] Hi guys.. I have a problem with firefox and youtube [15:39] geirha: but the wifi was working on ubuntu 9.04 only some days ago.. it has suddenly stopped showing that link [15:39] is there a reason skype only works some of the time? some times it works fine with like 1-2 second lag. sometimes sound just doesn't work at all, other times the mic doesn't work [15:39] !skype | crayboff [15:39] Crayboff, please see my private message [15:39] !flash | fafaz [15:39] fafaz: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [15:40] ok, i try this, i hope it will work, thanks for the good service! [15:40] spsneo: Maybe they switched the channel [15:40] Crayboff: it could also be that your connection fails. [15:40] Crayboff: and that you have a borked sound setup. [15:41] hi. i have 9.04 installed on my system, but it wont recognize 4GB. it only shows 3GB. is there a way to make it work ? [15:41] pl3ktrum: I don't know what kind of boot manager win7 uses, but presumably wubi has problems with modifying it to make it boot, I know dual-booting with ubuntu on separate partition and grub as the main bootmanager should work though.. [15:41] ohk [15:41] froes: 32bit? [15:41] uhh lfaraone you know how to get it fixed? [15:41] geirha: what is the solution in that case? [15:41] i'm on jaunty [15:42] spsneo: No idea I'm afraid, but it mentions using "iw reg". Try reading the man-page of iw. "man iw" [15:42] Crayboff: No, other than try another client? [15:42] Slart, i think so. i downloaded the i386 iso file [15:43] awww i was really hoping for skype [15:43] any of you know if ekiga works well in Vista? [15:43] froes: mm.. you need to use 64bit ubuntu to use 4GB of memory.. or use PAE (which the server kernel supports but not the desktop kernel) [15:43] froes: it's a new install? === mardhy is now known as iqkyu5566 [15:44] guys how do i get flash working on my utube videos [15:44] Slart, not that much anymore. have personalized a lot of things, installed a lot of software already [15:44] well if i want to stay with skype, which would be the best thing to download? the Ubuntu 7.04-8.04 or the Debian Etch one? i did the ubuntu one and it only works sometimes [15:44] does anyone here use s-video tv out with Jaunty? if so can you tell me which video card you are using? [15:45] ^ ya i'm using jaunty 9.04 [15:45] legend2440: NVidia [15:45] ? compiling a rss-glx screensaver....whats this mean..... ( checking for X... no...configure: error: X11 is missing but required. [15:45] gordonjcp: do you know which model? [15:45] guys.. I have Adobe Flash player 10 installed and also flashplugin nonfree installed. but can't see videos in youtube!! [15:46] Slart, is there a easy way to transform the installation into 64? like install the same apps, keep configurations, etc? [15:46] not offhand, nothing special though [15:46] froes: not really.. you could of course backup your home folder and do a reinstall and then restore that backup.. I think that will work [15:47] 1488 people and no answer :( [15:48] fafaz: and you've restarted firefox? [15:48] yes [15:48] gordonjcp: if you are on Jaunty now you can type lspci in a terminal and it should tell you which nvidia card you are using. that info would be appreciated [15:48] legend2440: I'm not on that machine just now, and it's turned off [15:48] Slart, what do you suggest? the 64 or the PAE ? does the 64 works fine? what about software writen for the 32 system ? [15:48] gordonjcp: oh ok thanks anyway [15:49] legend2440: it's a seriously el-cheapo one, so probably a 7300 [15:49] froes: 64bit ubuntu works fine.. I use it myself (with 4GB of memory) [15:49] how can you upgrade 32bit to 64 bit?? [15:49] nonono: Reinstall. [15:49] nonono: you can't, really [15:49] froes: there is probably a reason why they don't use PAE on the desktop version of ubuntu but I don't know of it [15:49] i actually use it as a development unit. mysql, java, eclipse, jboss [15:49] joining [15:50] fafaz: try removing all flash related packages (both free and nonfree [gnash & adobe flash]), and then installing only the package flashplayer-installer [15:50] !who | fafaz [15:50] fafaz: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [15:51] froes: if I were you I would reinstall the 64bit version [15:51] guys how do i get flash working on my utube videos [15:52] Myrtti: I'm sorry for pm [15:52] !flash | Weed37 [15:52] Weed37: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [15:52] thanks Slart [15:52] is there a way to change the displayed name of an application? [15:53] hi [15:53] everybody [15:53] Weed37, get 64 bit flash, it's out there for linux. [15:53] Weed37: fafaz: Make sure that a quick search in synaptic only shows up with the package "flashplugin-installer" as installed. [15:53] Slart, thanks. [15:53] In 64bit Ubuntu do not use auto installer. [15:53] how do i find it jasa [15:53] can neone tell me about kubuntu [15:53] started with the wrong foot this time [15:53] ?? [15:54] Google ... libflashplayer-10.0.22.87.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz [15:54] !kubuntu | cell [15:54] cell: Kubuntu is Ubuntu with KDE, the K Desktop Environment, instead of Gnome. See http://kubuntu.org for more information - For support: #kubuntu - See also !KDE [15:54] Jasa: Weed37: Even though it's a good advice, the normal version should work with at least youtube...

I got a new laptop and I was wondering if it's possible to copy all the settings from my old hd to the new install (new install is 64bit, old was 32, so I needed a new install) [15:56] hi cell, i installed bacula on ubuntu 9.04 and starting it, it keep failing so i uninstalled it and re installed but it is sill giving the same problems. can anyone help [15:56] is this possible?> [15:56] jasa do u mind if i pm u [15:56] suse or ubuntu ? which one is better [15:56] hello everyone [15:56] hi [15:56] ssup? [15:56] Weed37: The file is available from here: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html and you need to remove all other flash packages and place it in the folder ~/.mozilla/plugins/ [15:57] I just got a dedicated server with Ubuntu installed (8.0.4) and I'm trying to add a users but when I go to the "Users and Groups" admin tool, the "Unlock" button is disabled - what could be wrong? [15:57] cell: obviously, everyone here will claim ubuntu to be better ;) [15:57] how do I simulate a key trigger with a script? [15:57] cell: they are both linux distros.. pretty similar if you look at the big picture.. try out the live cds from both to get a feel for which one you like [15:57] i am a total noob with linux arand can u help me in pm plz [15:57] Fzang: xmacro might help [15:57] like, a script that does, when activated, the same as pressing a key on the keyboard [15:58] Slart, I'll check it out [15:58] Weed37: Ok, I'll see what I can do. === yann is now known as Guest45808 [15:59] Fzang: it's really more of a "record what you do and play it back" utility.. but it uses plain text files so you can easily create macros of things you want to do [15:59] weed [15:59] do i actually need kubuntu or can i install kde as well on ubuntu? [15:59] if I plug something into my line in, how can I determine that it is being played through? aplay /dev/? audio dsp? I'm using alsa, standard setup [15:59] chris_osx: you can install KDE on ubuntu, yes [15:59] chris same questiion [16:00] Slart: so where is the point in kubuntu? ;-) [16:00] chris_osx: it uses KDE by default.. ubuntu uses gnome by default.. === backenfutter_ is now known as backenfutter [16:00] hi everyone. [16:00] chris_osx: some people like KDE.. some like gnome.. few people actually want both installed [16:00] wow a whole distro just for that [16:01] chris_osx: aptitude install kubuntu-desctop... [16:01] chris_osx: but sure, you could start with a minimal system and add either gnome or kde to that [16:01] desktop* [16:01] chris_osx: kubuntu/ubuntu/xubunut are very similar.. I wouldn't really call it a whole new distro [16:01] SokoL_SD: thx [16:01] Slart: thanks for explanation [16:01] !flavors [16:01] !GTK and !Qt are !GUI toolkits (i.e. software libraries that draw buttons, textboxes, etc). !GNOME, !KDE, !Xfce and friends are "!desktop environments", which build on top of such libraries to provide a "consistent" desktop experience. !Kubuntu and !Xubuntu are simply flavors of Ubuntu that come with KDE and Xfce (respectively) installed as default, instead of GNOME. Other specialized flavors of Ubuntu include !Edubuntu [16:02] does anyone know how to determine my sound card /dev/ place? [16:03] òl [16:04] hello [16:04] shane2peru: I'm not entirely convinced that your soundcard has to have a dev file... what do you want to do with the dev/blabla name? [16:04] !netsplit [16:04] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [16:04] wut? [16:04] shane2peru: if you're using alsa you can run "cat /proc/asound/cards" to get a list of cards [16:04] ubottu [16:05] Is there a way to download an entire repository to a flash drive? [16:05] Slart: I want to use it to record the input [16:05] @Slart: can ask you about a problem about w5fm asus? [16:05] can i install kubuntu in my ubuntu or i need to do a fresh install ?? [16:05] cell: ubottu is a chatbot [16:05] The_Jag: why not ask the channel.. I don't even know what it is [16:05] :O [16:05] m noob [16:05] hehe [16:05] ty [16:05] cell: you can install kde in ubuntu [16:05] wats a chta bot [16:06] chat bot [16:06] Slart: that gives me info, but how do I translate that into /dev/something? I need to use it with mencoder to record the audio [16:06] Finally got the installer to work. I'm not sure how to partition though. [16:06] netdata you can start bacula installation from synaptic [16:06] cell: It is possible, but a bit tricky tog get working seamlessly as far as I know [16:06] Slart: 0 [Intel ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel [16:06] HDA Intel at 0x70200000 irq 22 is the output [16:07] I have a 320GB drive. #1 primary 104.9GB - #2 primary 31.5GB - pri/log 83.8GB [16:07] I just upgraded to 9.04...I have a dual-screen setup...when I try to start apps on the secondary screen, they always appear on the first screen (they would appear as expected on the 2nd screen with 8.10) [16:07] shane2peru: I don't really know.. /dev/dsp is the oss way of accessing it, I think.. but I don't really know what mencoder can work with [16:07] I created a 30GB partition in Windows which I wanted to use for Ubuntu, but I can't see how to make a / and swap on that partition. [16:07] which packages do i need to play videos from rebtube? :) [16:07] The partition tool is not that friendly and I know it's dangerous. [16:08] Well, does anyone has (had) a ASUS W5Fm Laptop? [16:08] n0gear: adobe flash [16:08] n0gear: flashplugin-nonfree should work.. or that other one.. flashplugin-installer or what it's called [16:08] n0gear: Can anyone help with the partitioning? [16:08] I am connected with vnc on remote system and the "r" key it stayed pressed. I have this problem on my laptop, and the only way to make the key to release is with lockkkkkkkk screen. on the remote machine I can't do that. how can I initiate the eyboard on remote machine with ssh or something else? [16:08] Slart: ok, I have tried that and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't, perhaps I should setup oss as my primary sound setup, I have done that in the past, and was pleased. [16:09] Slart: flashplugin-nonfree is a transition package, -installer is current [16:09] Slart: did install that one. youtube plays ok, but redtube not [16:09] n0gear: Try the restricted-extras package. [16:09] n0gear: if youtube plays alright I think flash is working.. I have no idea what redtube uses.. I was assuming it was using the same kind of flash based player [16:09] n0gear: redtube... um... [16:09] arand: ah.. thanks [16:10] or better, how can I use setxkbmap on remote system with Jaunty? [16:10] n0gear: If you are on 64bit you could always try the alpha from adobe [16:11] I want to use the 30GB partition I set up in Windows... [16:11] n0gear: The file is available from here: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html and you need to remove all other flash packages and place it in the folder ~/.mozilla/plugins/ [16:11] So I chose "use the largest non-continous space" but I need to break that up into / (root) and swap [16:11] i have an mmx pentium 1, what distro i can install? [16:11] radio: hmm.. looked at dsl? [16:11] arand: thanks dude, will try that [16:11] radio: Probably DSL (damn small linux) or PuppyLinux would be best [16:11] zortec: The installer will do the break-up automatically. [16:12] ok i'm trying to do a scp from a mac, the problem is the drive the files are on have a space it's in names [16:12] radio: how much ram do you have? [16:12] arand: The installer I hate to say it kind of has me concerned that I'm going to partition wrong and wipe my data again. [16:12] i ussually would use \ to say there's a space there [16:12] but it's still complain [16:12] It asks questions like do you want the partition at the beginning or end of the drive. [16:12] is there some python channel? [16:12] It doesn't break up that 30GB I created in Windows. [16:12] any idea how i would get ubuntu to know the space is there and be ok w/ it [16:13] Hi. Can anyone tell me how I should go about installing a .bin package? [16:13] 32 mb, sim [16:13] ruadh: sudo ./package.bin [16:13] zortec: if you want to make sure you know what it does you can always use the advanced option, then you will have to create the and define separate / and swap yourself. [16:13] Loststylus: tried ##python? [16:14] does anyone know how to turn off the auto login feature in ubuntu [16:14] frances: system, administration, login window [16:14] thx [16:14] arand: I didn't see an advanced option in the minimal install cd. [16:14] arand: There was guided and manual. [16:15] zortec: I think manual then. [16:15] arand: Guided set up a 7.5MB swap and 130GB / [16:15] talk to me [16:15] arand: I know that is not what I want. [16:15] !ot | lula88 [16:15] lula88: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [16:15] arand: Manual doesn't let me break up the 30GB partition, it only lets you change the filesystem for the whole 30GB... but I need to break that up into / and swap if you follow. [16:16] hi, i've got a problem with my sata drive under jaunty amd64, system crash with this error: "ata1: exception Emask 0x10 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x1910000 action 0xe frozen" [16:16] hi all, anyone get Hamachi successfully running in 9.04?

[16:17] what distro? [16:17] on bacula backup systems [16:17] !who | radio [16:17] radio: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [16:17] G_A_C: Basically what I want to do is take the 30GB I created in Windows and set up a 1-2GB swap and the rest for / [16:17] whois blackmoon [16:17] ok [16:18] zortec, I think you're prefixing the wrong name, I haven't been keeping tabs on your partitioning problems [16:18] G_A_C: Sorry, I must have the wrong user [16:18] zortec: Hmm, okay I think you'll need to delete the 30GB partition and use the free space there to create two new partitions [16:19] hm... interesting [16:19] zortec [16:19] arand: I'm a litlte worried about doing that arand because it asks some questions like do you want the partition at the beginning and end [16:19] This 30B is more or less blank at the moment right? [16:19] !hamachi [16:19] Sorry, I don't know anything about hamachi [16:19] i installed bacula on ubuntu 9.04 tried to start it but it keeps failing. i installed and re installed but it is till failling. [16:19] I changed the permissions of /etc/sudoers to 0644 by mistake and now sudo won't work... how to fix it? [16:19] arand: It also wants to know other information that I don't know anything about... like different boot options, etc [16:19] G_A_C, were there any special dependencies you had to install to Hamachi working? I get it installed, but it just hangs up in "retrieving nicks" on both the CLI and the GUI, i've also tried different networks. [16:19] can someon help pls [16:19] arand: It is blank [16:19] everwicked: boot from a live cd.. or use the recovery mode [16:20] netdata: why not give us some details.. [16:20] arand: 184GB is free. The 30GB I created in Windows as a new partition [16:20] Slart, then I'm fucked, this is a remote server :S [16:20] everwicked: not only that.. you'll be kicked out of here if you keep up that language [16:20] brandonban6, no dependencies, no. I just extracted the tarball, did the standard "make install" steps, put my configs into /etc/hamachi/ so it can run without me being logged in, and pulled an initscript from the Ubuntu forums [16:20] no one? [16:20] Slart, woops [16:20] okay [16:21] brandonban6, it all seemed to work perfectly first time, and I've just done "hamachi list" and "hamachi get-nicks", everything is working fine [16:21] zortec: The beginning-end thin I think is just when you have this unused space, when you are creating the new partition, where in the unused space do you want to create it (beginning/end) [16:21] arand: But what if I put the partition in the wrong spot? I don't want to wipe my data again [16:22] Thanks G_A_C, I'll play around some more see if I can get things kicking. [16:22] arand: That was the last experience I had with partitioning... [16:22] Hey, I need a bit of help. I installed Ubuntu 9.04 on a external hard drive. Its not working, but now I can't start the laptop without having the external drive or else I get GRUB loader error #21. And when I get past that screen I get a windows blue screen with a stop error. [16:22] How to check, show list and install libary ?

[16:24] all the config files are in /etc [16:24] everwicked: It's the chicken-egg problem of no permission to run sudo to change sudoers file permissions back to 440, etc etc. Unfortunately in this case you don't have the option of booting to single user mode to bypass that part. [16:24] genii, so what do I do? [16:24] salam === synthjc is now known as joc [16:25] hello === joc is now known as jocr [16:25] everwicked: Get ahold of whoever CAN get to the console of the box and have them reboot it to single user, change the file to proper valuses and then reboot to regular [16:25] --> [16:25] zortec: In the manual partitioner you will only be able to create a new partition in empty space, so if you make sure to delete only the right thing, the partition will only be created in the unused space. [16:26] hrm, I see... let's see if this rescue netboot thing they got will work [16:26] everwicked: There's not really any other way in this case [16:26] thanks genii [16:26] everwicked: You're welcome [16:26] hi [16:26] there is still no way to have itunes on linux [16:26] ? === simplexi1 is now known as simplexio [16:26] Does anyone know a mirror for .ddeb packages for kernel 2.6.28-12-generic?

DO you have an XP install disk? [16:34] I need to have compiz running in order to get the terminal wallpaper running? http://maketecheasier.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/terminal-desktop.jpg [16:34] Vlet: yeah, I did google it and it looks like part of the problem but not exactly sure how to fix it and why I'm getting the stop error, which only happened today [16:34] sidh: Mail order one from me, i'll send you a screenie with that icon you missing. =) [16:34] sidh: right click the panel and click add to panel [16:35] thanx arand [16:35] sidh: oh, and select volume control [16:35] arand: So can I not use the 30GB partition I created in Windows? [16:35] flintwingel: XP, no disc :( [16:35] Question. How can I change the password for mysql? "mysql -u root -p" prompts for a password I was never asked to define [16:35] bigmb: isn't the default password available from some install log? [16:36] nano404: but doesn't the first response in that thread I linked explain how to fix it? [16:36] When i try to set compiz shortcut to Button2 it says invalid shortcut. why's that? [16:36] Vlet: Sorry, didn't check the link when I posted my comment. Thanks. [16:36] slart: I installed it using synaptics and I never saw anything concerning it. [16:37] I'm really worried about losing my data going through the partition tool. [16:37] zortec: You should be able to, although you would have to shrink it to make room for swap, and reformat it, since windows probably created it as "ntfs" and ubuntu don't like that filesystem (ext3 is what is normally used) [16:37] It happened before, so I want to take caution. [16:37] bigmb: but I'm pretty sure it's mentioned in the mysql documentation.. why not have a look at their site.. it's bound to be a frequently asked question [16:37] bigmb: When i tried mythtv and it installed mysql it asked to define the password like 3 times during package installs. [16:37] thanks Vlet [16:37] bigmb: It could be stored at /etc/mysql/my.conf [16:37] zortec: THe best caution is to have backups of all your important data. [16:37] What is the best way to test LDAP connections in ubuntu? [16:38] bigmb: try no password. If that fails, then perhaps: mysqladmin -u root password NEWPASSWORD [16:38] bigmb: have you tried just doing "mysql -u root" ? [16:38] arand: If I create two partitions out of the empty space, how do I answer that question where to put the partition or what boot options to use? [16:38] arand: You have a lot of choices which can be a bit confusing. [16:38] Vlet: says connect to server at localhost failed then it says access denied...

How do I remove that? [16:42] darkham- why would u want that? [16:42] darkham: you want to uninstall the package manager? [16:42] zortec: As far as I know, it would make little or no difference in your case, (presuming now that you are using the manual partitioning tool and creating a new partition in empty space). If anyone in the channel objects: SHOUT. [16:42] darkham: sudo apt-get install --reinstall synaptic ought to do it [16:42] darkham: You could just install another package manager. [16:43] bigmb if your are familiar with run control stop the mysql server then start it back up with --skip-grant-tables. Then connect my the mysql client and change the password [16:43] Anyone know if it makes any difference if the partition is at the beginning or end of your HD? [16:43] Vlet: i've a problem with synaptic, when i try to load the window with the third part reositories, i've the window "repositories changed", and i can't do anything [16:44] zortec: like what? [16:44] zortec: yes but I doubt seriously you can see the differnce, its barely measurable on modern drives [16:44] darkham- make sure the (cd) is unchecked [16:45] darkham: sudo apt-get remove --purge synaptic? [16:45] Xcell: mmm, i haven't look at this..... [16:45] franczen: i try [16:45] slart: not working [16:45] darkham, mdm: Why does the installer ask that question then?

But like I said it would be difficult to show the performance increase. [16:46] bigmb: just curious, how did you go about installing the mysql server anyway? [16:46] what's synaptic's dependencies? [16:46] bigmb: what didn't work? [16:47] can not in stal google earth [16:47] darkham after you change repos, which I advise against.. sudo apt-get update is required [16:47] darkham: uninstalling and reinstalling it won't fix any of that. Try executing "sudo apt-get update" in a terminal [16:47] vlet: synaptic package manager. I'm going to uninstall and reinstall. If I still can't get it working I'll pop back on here [16:47] !googleearth > r000 [16:47] r000, please see my private message [16:47] slart: Imma uninstall it and reinstall it. If I still can't get it to work, Imma pop back on here. Thanks [16:48] mdm: Thanks, so I have 183GB free space to create new partitions with. So 1 or 2GB swap and 28GB root. Is that good?

[16:49] hi guys [16:49] Jack_Sparrow: it doesn't load anything... [16:49] zortec swap is seldom used anyhow [16:50] Jack_Sparrow: nothing appens more [16:50] HOw do I tell what wireless protocols my system supports? [16:50] Jack_Sparrow So 1GB is plenty then? [16:50] darkham system...admin...software sources.. those are menus at the top of the page, what version or flavor of ubuntu are you running [16:50] zortec the memmory manger chops those 3 g into pages, then mirrors those pages into swap space. So the barest minimum you need as much as you have physical space [16:50] i have a Radeon Mobility 7500 in my Thinkpad T41p. Ever since I followed this guide, the card got really really slow: http://onlyubuntu.blogspot.com/2009/05/howto-enable-ati-unsupported-cards-in.html [16:50] poboy975: what's the device? Atheros? [16:50] zortec make it equal to your ram just to be safe [16:50] how opengl to install on ubuntu. it says error when compiling file says undefined reference to gluInit [16:50] darkham: ahh, in your software sources control panel, try changing your mirror to something else [16:50] how do i remove the new drivers again [16:50] after installing ubuntu 9.04 amd64 , some things are stranges: 1/sound is always on mute at boot time. 2/often when i reboot the reboot process stops, and i have to finish it with crtl + alt + supp (the it stops some md device ) [16:51] zortec: it will depend on what you want to run... you generally don't want swap to be used at all becuase it slows the system down [16:51] zortec: Swap is used when physicalmemory runs low, or when you hibernate the computer, if you do want hibernation, you'd need more than 3GB (since all memory has to be saved "frozen" on disk). [16:51] Vlet: i cant load the software sources window......is that my problem.. [16:51] I could run without a swap technically... and have a fast system. [16:51] darkham what version or flavor of ubuntu are you running [16:51] Jack_Sparrow: jaunty [16:52] i have a Radeon Mobility 7500 in my Thinkpad T41p. Ever since I followed this guide, the card got really really slow: http://onlyubuntu.blogspot.com/2009/05/howto-enable-ati-unsupported-cards-in.html How do I revert the changes to my system? [16:52] zortec: it won't be faster with or without swap if its not use [16:52] darkham gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list from a terminal [16:52] its a Broadcom Corporation BCM4309 802.11a/b/g (rev 02) I can get it working if i type sudo modprobe -r b43 b44 b43legacy ssb ndiswrapper wl bcm43xx, then typoe sudo modprobe ndiswrapper, then it works, but I have to do this every time I reboot [16:52] flintwingel: swap is not use just for out of memory, it also swaps out claimed but unused memory (as in startup memory). You would be suppised how much memory is claimed but then never released [16:52] can google earth instal [16:52] I did a clean install of Jaunty. Since then, my laptop's wifi (Atheros AR2413) doesn't work. It sees all the available networks, it just simply does not connect. First thing I tried is to test my router. But with other boxes it worked as it should. Then I tried to disable the encryption, but still the same. Jaunty comes with ath5k driver by default. This apparently didn't work for me, so I enabled madwifi, which worked since Fiest [16:52] y. The same issue. As third option I tried ndiswrapper (this also worked in all previous versions). The same simptome. After Googling around, I found that for some people it was a solution to completely remove network-manager, and install wicd instead. No success. Any ideas? [16:52] how would go about reinstalling grub? every time i reboot i get a grub error 11 unrecognized disk or something and i have to bypass with super grub disk, i think this all happened when i tried to install grub 2, how do i get a default grub configuration? [16:52] darkham: paste the contents of your /etc/apt/sources.list to http://paste.ubuntu.com/ and link it here [16:52] swapping, in an of itself is not necessarily bad [16:53] r000 See the link I sent to you [16:53] mdm, flintwingel: I don't plan to use hibernate so I think 1GB.

[16:54] help my instal google earth [16:54] Jack_Sparrow Vlet : http://paste.ubuntu.com/185767/ [16:54] ssn: just for your information there is no magic revert button [16:54] but.... and it's a big but, if i am disconnecting from an on going connection, for no reason of for moving to another network, i can reconnect to my network' it is stuck on requiring for ip [16:54] r000: type /join #ubuntu-nl [16:54] only a restart helps me. [16:54] even networking restart didn't help [16:55] mdm: Isn't swap 1.5x the amount of physical RAM you have? [16:55] ssn: although typically you would work backwards from that guide to undo the changes you have made [16:55] ssn: that is also not an officially supported method [16:55] mdm: I know that is the rules for Windows. [16:55] trued ifdown ifup on my wireless card but god a message that the card is not configured [16:55] i get that [16:55] what might that be? [16:55] Êòî-íèáóäü çíàåò ðóññêèé? I'm not speak English. :( [16:56] zortec: there are no good rules for this.. at least 1xRAM if you're going to use hibernation.. the rest depends on what you do with the computer [16:56] Paddy_EIRE: if i knew which paket to reinstall to overwrite the changes [16:56] zortec: swap is used to map physical memory. you need as much as you have physical for the swapper to run efficiently. [16:56] I need to have compiz running in order to get the terminal wallpaper running? http://maketecheasier.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/terminal-desktop.jpg [16:56] franczen: so I run sudo update-initramfs -u? [16:56] Slart: I want to do some gaming on the computer [16:56] zortec: the "rule" always used to be swap=2xRAM, these days its less important - if you want hibernation you need enough space to store the memory dump so swap>RAM [16:56] ssn: as I said there is no magic button or package to revert the changes you made [16:56] Slart: Based on what everyone says, I think 1-2GB is adequate.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [16:57] Paddy_EIRE: thats my guess to [16:57] but just a guess [16:57] zortec: sounds good.. I used 3GB when I ran some large matlab simulations.. other times I've had swap disabled entirely [16:57] darkham gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and put ## at the front of all lines from 53 down and try to update again. I would NOT have used the linuxMint Repo as you have done [16:57] let me have a look ssn [16:57] daniella_: did you try to restart wicd? [16:57] Vlet, already asked the question, no need to look for a reson to use bots [16:57] poboy975: yes, try that, and reboot [16:57] Paddy_EIRE: how :D [16:57] ok will do, brb thanks [16:57] Slart: Is there any downside to having swap disabled or not creating a swap file? [16:57] ssn: just a moment I am having a read at that guide [16:58] daniella_ We dont need a reason, please dont post HelpMe etc [16:58] Myrtti, yes, didn't work neither is that a solution :) [16:58] can't do that every time [16:58] zortec: if you have enough memory.. not that I know of [16:58] anyone know about gtk-gnutella? [16:58] daniella_: well, when I look over at my irc terminal and within that screenview see a person having only said, "can anyone help me" I assume they haven't asked a question [16:58] mdm: What happens if you don't create a swap and you run out? [16:58] Jack Sparrow, it's not a help me it was a long informative message should read it before complaining [16:58] white_: is that your real question? [16:58] Âñåì ïîêà. :) Good-bye. :) [16:59] Are there any repositories still providing updates for Ubuntu 7.10? [16:59] zortec swap is not bad, it is not something you need to avoid. In fact it is a necessary part of an efficient running box. You WANT swap, you WANT to have enough memory to swap out everything. This is why people tell you to put in as much as you have physical. [16:59] daniella_ please drop the thread. thanks [16:59] Vlet, please give people some more credit then that, check up stairs :) [16:59] ssn: could you try and follow this guide and let me know how you get on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver [16:59] mdm: why would you want swap if you have enough memory? [16:59] slart yes [16:59] I need to have compiz running in order to get the terminal wallpaper running? http://maketecheasier.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/terminal-desktop.jpg [16:59] Myrtti, any other idea? [16:59] mdm: And swap is only used if you run out right? [16:59] !attitude > daniella_ [16:59] daniella_, please see my private message [16:59] white_: ok, then the answer is yes.. several people know about gtk-gnutella [16:59] mdm: Otherwise, swap file is just dormant. [17:00] Slart: im having trouble updating to 0.96.6 [17:00] zortec if you run out of memory, the box will not run more programs, things will start crashing and you will get some seriously screwed up programs. [17:00] Are there any repositories still providing updates for Ubuntu 7.10? [17:00] chazco no [17:00] franczen: ok that worked. thanks. I didnt see anything about running that in the howto's I found [17:00] Jack_Sparrow - Ah bad news... thanks :( [17:00] !eol | chazco [17:00] chazco: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates for an Ubuntu release stop. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases [17:00] white_: oh no.. no follow up questions.. you just wanted to know if someone knew about gtk-gnutella [17:00] chazco you will need to see old-repos. [17:00] zortec: you can never be quite sure how much memory may be needed unless to know what apps you want to run and hwo much data they will have [17:00] and zortec no swap is used as the system starts, in fact its very first use is by the kernel before any program are ever run [17:00] Jack_Sparrow: nothing appens.... [17:00] white_: see what I meant by the "real question" now? [17:01] ubottu, why do you speak for him, i know peole here are volunteers yet i asked very polite with a lot of information and expected a nice attitude back, it should go both ways [17:01] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [17:01] chazco: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardyUpgrades [17:01] darkham then something has gone wrong with all of the changes and odd repos. you can try !aptfix [17:01] when i will have enough knowledge and sit here and help others, i would do it with grace [17:01] Jack_Sparrow - Was looking to see if it still gets security updates... was considering downgrading to it (last version that worked well for me) [17:01] mdm, flintwingel: So on the safe side, create a swap for as much physical RAM you have. [17:01] !aptfix [17:01] If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » [17:01] zortec: yes [17:01] daniella_: sorry :) ... but it's tough when a single question is spread out over time like that... anyway, I've little experience with wifi.. sorry :-/ [17:01] geirha - Used loads of versions but 7.10 is the last one that worked well for me [17:01] mdm: Well it doesn't require swap to boot linux or use, i have made couple installs without any swap partitions or files ... worked same way as normally. [17:02] daniella_ MAy I have a word please [17:02] Vlet, thank you very much for being such a gentleman. appreciate it [17:02] Paddy_EIRE: any solution? [17:02] Jack_Sparrow, of course dear [17:02] Jack_Sparrow: ok. How can i change the server of upgrades? i've server.unina.net, or something like [17:02] ssn: I sent you a link [17:02] ssn: could you try and follow this guide and let me know how you get on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver [17:02] zortec think of it this way, a program starts and asked for 1G of memory. It starts up and runs, but it now only needs 100M of memory. The swapper sees this and swaps out the unused memory segments freeing up physical memory for other uses. This is quite typical of program behavior and it is wanted behavior [17:02] chazco: What problems are you having with 8.04 then? [17:02] ssn: that should fix your problem [17:03] daniella_: ifup and ifdown only work with interfaces de defined /etc/network/interfaces afaik. not for ones managed by NetworkManager. Could be wrong though [17:03] and yes Jasa you do not NEED swap, you WANT swap [17:03] Paddy_EIRE: thx [17:03] ssn: no problem [17:03] !atpfix [17:03] Sorry, I don't know anything about atpfix [17:03] !coc > daniella_ [17:03] As I said ssn if you run into any trouble let me know :) [17:03] daniella_, please see my private message [17:03] mdm: Nice example, I understand a little better now. [17:03] erUSUL, ok, good to know, but any idea about my problem? [17:03] !aptfix [17:03] If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » [17:04] geriha - One laptop cant use apt since 7.10 (bug survives clean reinstalls and happens on wired and wifi networks), other systems have wifi and stability issues, broken tcp_window_scaling (can be fixed though but causes other issues), 9.04 broken dvd support (bug reports filed) etc :) === thefake is now known as Lord-FaKe [17:04] Jack_Sparrow, OK got that. any idea though on my problem? [17:04] hi [17:04] daniella_, would you mind repeating your problem? I've only just come back from idle and I can't seem to find your question [17:04] daniella_ Nope [17:05] daniella_: no sorry not much experience with wicd [17:05] Jack_Sparrow, thanks any way [17:05] anyone good with pptpd server? [17:05] hatter243, i will sure, thanks for helping [17:05] i moved to ubuntu from windows last night [17:05] the only problem i suffered by now are related to wifi [17:06] after many struggling i succeeded to make it work with wicd [17:06] daniella_: what chipset? Atheros? [17:06] What's the off topic channel for Ubuntu? [17:06] !ot | sectech [17:06] sectech: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [17:06] has anyone here every had problems with a raid array not mounting on boot? [17:06] hatter243, the only problem is that if my connetion disconnects [17:06] hi, anyone with ubuntu hardy + nvidia 9600 or using nvidia driver from nvidia web site? Sometimes after reboot, X fail to start. I need help to be sure that I am do it right. There are two things in ubuntu pages: "disable conflicting software" and "load driver on boot" [17:07] it can't reconnect stuck on retrieving ip [17:07] md0 doesn't mount at boot, nor can fdisk see it, but the 2 disks are shown in fdisk...

[17:08] daniella_: not if its one question [17:08] how can i change the upgrade server from terminal? [17:09] hatter243, got that? [17:09] !repeat | darkham [17:09] darkham: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [17:09] darkham: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list and edit the servers list there [17:09] geirha - Packages corrupt themselves, dpkg gives "pipe" errors, dependency issues (that dont actually exist), apt-get updates dont always work and so on - its just on that one machine - identical config on other machines works fine. Its weird. The main issues I have though at present are with wifi and window scaling on other computers... [17:10] any idea why pptpd disconnects when i try to request a web page on the same server? (apache + pptpd are on the same box) [17:10] trying to isntall opengl error returned is "couldnt find package mesa" [17:10] !info opengl [17:10] Package opengl does not exist in jaunty [17:10] pragad7: what are you installing?

[17:10] slart opengl [17:10] genii :i can't edit the servers... [17:11] daniella_ - Are you trying to join an enterprise WPA network with an intel wifi card by any chance? [17:11] darkham: Why not? [17:11] chazco: Unfortunately (or should I say fortunately?) I haven't had any problems with wifi myself, it's just worked out of the box. [17:11] How can i turn on 3D [17:11] slart opengl [17:11] I did a clean install of Jaunty. Since then, my laptop's wifi (Atheros AR2413) doesn't work. It sees all the available networks, it just simply does not connect. First thing I tried is to test my router. But with other boxes it worked as it should. Then I tried to disable the encryption, but still the same. Jaunty comes with ath5k driver by default. This apparently didn't work for me, so I enabled madwifi, which worked since Fiest [17:11] geirha - Yep, it used to in 7.10, since then issues have turned up [17:11] genii: i only look the repos [17:11] y. The same issue. As third option I tried ndiswrapper (this also worked in all previous versions). The same simptome. After Googling around, I found that for some people it was a solution to completely remove network-manager, and install wicd instead. No success. Any ideas? [17:11] slart [17:11] Chazco, i am using an intel wifi card but no wpa, only my wep network [17:11] pragad7: yes? [17:12] hmm, Microsoft's Bing comes up with about 200 thousand results for ubuntu, but google gets nearly 90 million [17:12] darkham: When you do an upgrade, the repository servers are where it upgrades from. What exactly are you trying to accomplish ? [17:12] hatter243, i am using wicd not network-manager [17:12] genii: i would change the server, i've not the main, and i can't open the software resources window [17:12] opengl [17:12] daniella_ - Hmm, probably not related then but there is a known bug with WPA which causes similar issues [17:12] i am trying to ghet opengl working [17:12] chazco, and how do i over come it? [17:12] is there a solution to that? [17:13] daniella_ - If it is the same bug then the solution is to use wicd, which semi-fixes it, but not perfectly... seems you've already done that though... sorry i cant be more help [17:13] franczen, http://madberry.org/2008/11/how-to-get-atheros-ar242x-to-work-on-810-intrepid-ibex/ although it says for 8.10 i have used this guide for 9.04 [17:13] pragad7, what's wrong? [17:13] chazco, thanks for you help === swiatOFF is now known as Swiatecki [17:13] for trying [17:13] pragad7: are you trying to install opengl drivers, opengl applications, opengl libraries, opengl headers.. how are you trying to install them? [17:13] daniella_ - No problem, hope you get it fixed :) [17:13] i found the origin of my reboot process problem, so is there a way to tell ubuntu to execute a command before rebooting ? [17:14] pragad7: don't make me interrogate you for information [17:14] libraries [17:14] chazco, me too :) [17:14] please try to be more specific [17:14] a driver problem? [17:14] i am trying to learn opengl [17:14] oh [17:14] how about heading over to ##opengl [17:15] I found glfw really useful [17:15] pragad7: I'm sorry... I'll just stop here.. ask the channel again [17:15] ok [17:15] In gconf syste/storage/default/vfat, I removed the umask and set the dmask to 077 and the fmask to 177. This works fine for the directories on my USB drive (they come out as 700 permissions) but the files are 400 for some reason. I don't get it, 177 should equal 600. [17:15] hello everybody, is thera anyone who knows how to use VPN with PPTP in ubuntu? [17:16] darkham: your system seems to be badly broken, have you any idea what you've done to it [17:16] chaos2fu: install network-manager-pptp [17:16] daniella_: to be honest, in my limited experience with linux wifi, I also had to restart frequently to get things chugging. [17:16] myrtti yeah i have done that, do i have to reboot? [17:17] nvm, I figured it out. I was constantly looking at a file that happens to be set read-only by mattrib for comparison. Silly me. [17:17] chaos2fu: the option for vpn-pptp doesn't show in your nm-applet? [17:17] Hello, I have 2GB of RAM. How much my swap partition must be? Logical ofcourse. [17:17] chaos2fu: yes I do it on my laptop, look at http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/ [17:17] myrtti yes it does...but it says that the conneciton failed? [17:18] Gourlis: will you be using hibernation? [17:18] I think you should have the double of it so it would be 4GB [17:18] Gourlis: in most cases your swap should be 1/2 * RAM [17:18] Gourlis: Swap should generally be double ram if you want hibernation. [17:18] Gourlis: at least 2GB if you want hibernation [17:18] How can I save my alsamixer settings? I thought it was "alsactl store"? === pieterjan is now known as phar0z [17:18] chaos2fu: check up the logs then? [17:18] I have an eee 901 asus, Running 904 with LPIA kernel. I can't get wireless to work. Anyone with a 901 able to get theirs working? [17:18] Gourlis: getting all sorts of different opinions aren't we? [17:18] Alright guys, because by default has 1.29GB swap. [17:18] :D [17:18] Gourlis: yeah, you want more than that to allow hibernation. [17:18] !swap [17:18] swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [17:19] where can i find the logs myrtti? [17:19] Gourlis: that's ok [17:19] Myrtti: i've installed the mint menu from 1 mint repo: i only installed other 3 packages, but this was appened one week ago [17:19] how Can I save my alsamixer settings? isn't it alsactl store? [17:19] ok guys thanks a lot! :) [17:19] thanks Slart, if I knew that bot had that I wouldn't have had to type that long explanation by hand :) [17:19] bastidrazor: thanks for the link, but this is simply the ath5k driver. jaunty has this by default [17:19] mdm: =) [17:20] franczen, so does 8.10 but it fails to work correctly. [17:20] darkham: there you go then. that's a no-no. [17:20] Myrtti: the software sources windows is failing from today [17:20] franczen, you see the part about blacklisting some modules [17:20] hello to all :) [17:21] bastidrazor, I've fixed it with wireless-compat [17:21] I have a simple question, who can help me? [17:21] On Ubuntu 8.04, I can be in the middle of typing something and the screen will fade to gray, I'll lose the ability to type, it will fade back to normal, then fade to gray and repeat this several times throughout the day. Is this some kind of confused powersave mode? [17:21] Slart, can you give me again the url please with swap FAQ because I wanna know if I delete swap partition where that space will go. [17:21] franczen, there you go.. wireless-compat [17:21] Myrtti: i haven't done anything in my system froma week.... [17:21] on my laptop the reboot process stops because of the wireless driver [17:21] ostile17: you have to ask the question, not permission to ask the question [17:21] phar0z, thanks for the info will make a note [17:21] :) [17:22] bastidrazor: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-get-ath5k-working-on-jaunty-with-compat-wireless-and-a-self-compiled-kernel.html [17:22] I would know if I can see assembly syntax on gedit [17:22] I need it [17:22] !swap | Gourlis [17:22] Gourlis: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [17:22] thank you Slart [17:22] look its not like doubling 16G of memory to 32G of haddrive space is costly. Hell the disk is probably a 300G or bigger. It is basically a no briner, just 2x your physical memory and be done with it [17:22] Gourlis: you're welcome [17:22] if i wanna update alsamixer, do i need to purge it first? [17:23] cptblood: no [17:23] ...? [17:23] darkham: if you want mint, install mint, if you want ubuntu, install ubuntu, BUT DON'T MIX [17:23] on my laptop the reboot process stops because of the wireless driver, to make it work ok i have to rmmod the wireless driver first, so is there a "gnome" way to execute 'rmmod my_wireless_driver' before rebooting, or do i have to create an appropriate rc0.d/SXscript ? [17:23] !mint > darkham [17:23] darkham, please see my private message [17:23] cptblood: apt can update it in-place, so to speak [17:24] Can I make jar files behave like executables? Meaning, can I ./file.jar, and have it automatically execute "java -jar filename.jar" or something like that? [17:24] someone know how I can see assembly syntax on gedit? [17:24] Slart: which is the latest version? i've got .18 [17:24] elad: you might get better answers for that in a java oriented channel.. isn't there a ##java? [17:24] How do I get back/forward buttons on firefox 3? I tried the whole right-clicking next to the address bar and clicking customise, but the back/forward buttons are greyed out so I cannot drag them to the bar [17:25] Slart, as I understood if you have 2GB of RAM your swap must be 1GB at least. Am I right? :D [17:26] has anyone managed to get fuj:tech usb tv working in ubuntu 9.04? [17:26] cptblood: 1.0.18 is what I've got on jaunty, 64bit [17:26] same here, guess it's latest then [17:26] 32bit tho [17:26] Gourlis: there are no set limits.. you don't *have to* have swap at all [17:26] elad: as far as i know you can't do that directly [17:27] oki [17:27] chaos2fu: I can't seem to find the log out of memory - you could ask the vpn admin to check up theirs as well? [17:27] Gourlis: if you want to use hibernation you have to have at least as much swap as memory though.. [17:27] elad: easy enough to write a single line script that will call it, though [17:27] tom2600 [17:27] siema ludzie [17:27] are there intel gfx hardware accelleration drivers that are better than what comes with ubuntu? [17:27] ^ relay that, it let me drag it somehow anyway [17:27] co tam slychac w starym miescie [17:27] que pasa troncos [17:27] Gourlis: but if you're not going to use hibernation you can use as much swap as you want.. one old rule says 2xRAM.. some people say 1xRAM these days..it kind of depends on how you use your computer [17:27] Gourlis: you can actually set no swap at all, and still *probably* run fine. That probably depends on how much you have and what it is you want to run on the box. But like I said its not like harddrive space is at a premium. [17:27] alright Slart, I'll leave it 1.29GB because I don't want to do anything bad again :P [17:28] Could anyone point me in the right direction as to how I would debug random application hangs? I've not had to troubleshoot that type of problem before on Linux. [17:28] karlmdavis: first thing to do is to run the app from the terminal [17:28] Top and other things are hanging randomly on two systems I've got and I don't know where to start looking. [17:29] These are servers, so no choice there mcphail. ;) [17:29] mdm, I see my partitions in GParted if you know.. If I delete swap from there, where it will go? I mean 1.29GB (on NTFS for Vista or on Ubuntu, or nowhere?) [17:29] karlmdavis: :) if top is hanging then there is trouble afoot [17:29] Gourlis: is you delete it, it will not be used. Just save off some space and recreate it [17:30] mdm, alright! [17:30] mcphail: I would agree. Just don't know how to go about tracking said trouble down. [17:30] hello people im having some trouble rendering a jasper subreport under ubuntu-repository-installed tomcat6 [17:31] does anybody has any experience on the matter? [17:31] no one can help me :( [17:31] is there the way to quickly delete all developer library packages? [17:31] Hi... i'm considering duel booting 7.10 and 9.04 with a shared /home - will this work? [17:31] They're both VMs running 8.04-- one's VirtualBox and the other's VMWare. [17:32] That's all they have in common: one's a Zimbra mail server and the other's an Apache/Hudson/SVN server. [17:32] can anybody give me a hand here? [17:34] hi, i've just upgraded from 8.04 to 9.04 through the graphical package manager thing and now get a gnome login terminal with the text input in Hebrew. Does anyone know how I can get it back to English? thanks [17:35] AlexStacey: try pulldoen menus, there is the languahe option [17:35] AlexStacey: learn hebrew :).. No really just use the pulldown for locality [17:35] Hi... i'm considering duel booting 7.10 and 9.04 with a shared /home - will this work? [17:35] I've tried the pulldowns but no joy [17:36] they have english listed but it won't switch to them [17:36] hmm [17:36] AlexStacey: then log into a terminal and Edit /var/lib/locales/supported.d/local === fgefdgdf is now known as Roux [17:37] AlexStacey: then edit /etc/environment, putting in en_US as LANG [17:37] * steven isnt sure [17:37] mdm: hmm.. that has en_US and en_GB listed [17:37] * steven is sure [17:38] Anyone familiar with Super Grub Disk? I keep getting error 17. "Cannot mount selected partition" Thanks. [17:38] AlexStacey: sorry /etc/default/locale [17:39] sb arand [17:39] hmm... /etc/default/locale is en_GB [17:40] When I type "ssh me@mybox", I can log in just fine. When I go to Places -> Connect to Server and try to open a view in Nautilus, it fails saying "ssh program unexpectedly exited" -- how do I fix it? [17:40] i added a remote share with sshfs exampe.com:/path /media/path [17:40] anyone could have an idea about setting up a telnet server in an e-learning based environment , where an instructor can allow the candidates choose their accounts and can change their password for the first time ? [17:40] but when i try to access that /media/path, i get Permission denied [17:40] i think i might be best off burning a jaunty cd and starting again === kkkduifjalsdd is now known as kkkkdkd === csanda_ is now known as csanda [17:41] zanden write a php script to a frontend to adduser, since you are using telnet I assume you dont care about security [17:42] how do i remove timestamps in irssi [17:42] mdm , the problem i don't have any programming background to do that , if i could , i will directly write a shell script to perform that task [17:44] What authorities request to run the 'ALSA Information Script' /home//bin/alsa-info.sh? [17:44] zanden you do understand writing any such thing is a very bad security idea and anyone can cause a lot of damage with little or no effort, right? [17:46] zanden: Why use telnet and not a system based on something more modern? (XMPP comes to mind) [17:46] wii MOPAK [17:47] hello [17:47] ryanakca, i just want users to access command line , the machine i intend to perform that task in , is just for explaining some linux concepts [17:47] zanden for that matter tech them what ssh is, make then genreate keys and give you their public key. Then disallow plain text passwords. Not only would you be giving them access but also teaching them essntail knowledge of proper system administration [17:47] opss sorry i mean ryanprior [17:47] zanden: If you want a simple CLI environment, your students could use SSH. === moi is now known as Malicia [17:48] ryanakca, i know ssh is better solution, but can i automate this process with it ? [17:48] hello [17:48] mdm, you are right sure , but i was asking about how could automate this process that's all [17:49] zanden: Anything you can automate with telnet, you can also automate with ssh. [17:49] yes zanden just as easily as you can with telnet. But if you let them just create whatever they want, its still insecure [17:49] is there way to user pocketPC device as wifi card? [17:49] use* [17:50] ryanprior, and that's what am asking for , how to perform that [17:50] Hi people! I my problem is that i have a pretty tired digital camera. Colors are bad, but except for that, its a ok camera. Anyone knows about a tool in ubuntu or one of the programs where colors can be ajusted/corrected automaticly. There is a function for that i Vista i know.. If not, could this be a idea for a EOG upgrade? :) [17:50] zanden: there are lots of neat things you can do with the CLI. creating users and setting passwords isn't the most exciting thing to do, and it can cause trouble and headache, so I would suggest creating the users yourself and letting them do other things. === shikibu_ is now known as shikibu [17:50] mdm , i know are completely right but the machine is just for teaching purposes not more [17:50] I am using ubuntu 9.04. I want Tomboy notes should start automatically whenever i boot my machine. How can i do this ? [17:51] lunix: You can use The GIMP to do color correction. I don't know if it does auto-correct, but if not there's probably a plugin for it. [17:51] Anyone familiar with Super Grub Disk? I keep getting error 17. "Cannot mount selected partition" Thanks. [17:51] zanden: the heart of the problem is that to add users the program needs to run with root access. Having a program, especialy a shell that does that is asking for problems. If all you want to do is set it up temporaily at the very least image the box and reimage it every day or such [17:51] ryanprior, well if i could not do that , then the solution is to do that manually [17:51] shashi: System -> Preferences -> Sessions, add tomboy as a session [17:51] zanden but to create a shell is fairly easy, just have them put in a username and password, then pass that to adduser to create the account. [17:51] is there way to use pocketPC device as wifi card? [17:52] shashi: add it to startup allpications under system-preferences menu [17:52] I need to know the *name* of a process that every now and then is changing a file.. How can I monitor that file to get that process name? [17:52] mdm, thanks , it seems that could be my only solution [17:52] cheers guys - reinstalling will fix it i'm sure =] [17:53] zanden most certainly not, have the accounts created by hand, give them temp passwords and the first thing they do when they log in is change it to something more secure [17:53] hello [17:53] ryanprior: Thanks:) I found the color correction posibilities there, but I found my self to be pretty bad ajusting it.. Usually photos turned out a lot worse than the originals :) Ill try to find a plugin for it then. Thanks for helping! [17:53] Hello papersoul. [17:53] i was wondering if anyone can help me with this issue i have [17:53] zanden if you REALLY want to teach them have them create ssh key pairs and show then they can publish their public key to whomever they please and still be as secure as the private key is [17:54] lunix: You can ask in #gimp which plugin would be best. [17:54] !ask | papersoul [17:54] papersoul: 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. :-) [17:54] i keep getting dropped connections [17:54] i have a usb wifi card [17:54] mdm , it will be a good idea then to teach them the most secured way [17:54] running 9.04 [17:54] zanden additionally you can show them how to forward ports in SSH and do things like run xterm or something [17:55] mdm, thanks alot for all these info , appreciated your help [17:55] np [17:55] anyone? [17:56] papersoul: Has the behaviour changed recently? Does it work differently with a different distribution or operating system? Does the behaviour change if you physically move the computer from place to place? [17:56] no, i have 4 bars [17:56] but ever since i installed, it has never fully worked [17:57] How do you know that you are getting dropped connections? [17:57] i've looked online and there has been some issues with it before [17:57] is there anything for setting up Beowulf clusters in ubuntu? considering playing around with some of the dells that have bad primary IDE controllers [17:57] in fact zanden I would use it also as a way to show them that everything you do in a graphical enviroment can be done by command line. Put in pine. mutt or something, sow the lynx, wget etc. And teach them they dont HAVE to have X or a mouse to do anything [17:57] it will connect to the router and sometimes let me surf maybe a page then drops [17:58] papersoul: When it drops, does it reconnect automatically? [17:58] yes [17:58] On the ubuntu livecd, how can a person get quickly to a console window? [17:59] accessories -> console [17:59] I need to explain to someone over the phone, and I use kubuntu, not ubuntu [17:59] papersoul: That sounds like generic lousy wifi to me. Back to the questions about different operating systems, computer locations, recent behaviour changes? [17:59] IHS_intern: they need to have boot proms in the NICs, but I assume you already knew this [17:59] My eth0 gateway is broken. [17:59] In the network manager, it appears greyed out [18:00] solifugus, Kubuntu is the same thing as Ubuntu, only the desktop environment is KDE and not Gnome [18:00] mdm: I can do live-CD, as well, and they do support network booting. [18:00] hmmmmm it is only one room away from the router.... [18:00] Malicia: the menus are different [18:00] no recent behavior changes since it has always done this.... [18:00] hello [18:00] Malicia: once in the console, can she just "sudo su -" and be root without a password? [18:00] IHS_intern: then you need to read up on PXE booting, setting up a tftp server and get them to boot. After that read up and set up the cluster [18:00] solifugus, I guess so. But it's not a different OS [18:01] solifugus, that's dangerous! [18:01] my hp printer stops halfway through printjob xubuntu [18:01] any ideas? [18:01] Malicia: she wants to know how to partition and format an old PC... [18:01] all she could do is destroy what she wants to destroy.. [18:02] so even though the bars are high.... [18:02] apt-get update gives me E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/mx.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_jaunty-updates_universe_binary-i386_Packages... What is this and how do I fix it? [18:02] in fact zanden you could use PXE to setup the students workstations, then when they are done you dont have as much a clean up headache [18:02] highbar [18:02] i should try.... moving the location of the pc? [18:02] solifugus, how old? [18:02] my hp printer stops part way through print job xubuntu [18:02] mdm , managing one machine is better that a farm of them :) [18:03] farmwareµ [18:03] solifugus: alt+F2 then type gnome-terminal and enter, "sudo -i" is the command to use for root session === slaytani1 is now known as slaytanic [18:04] arand: i didn't think alt-f2 worked in gnome? [18:04] ctrl + alt + F2 [18:05] srccoreloader [18:05] but it's too dangerous to give root rights to someone like this! [18:05] Malicia: yea.. that one works on all linuces.. [18:05] yea [18:05] gimme root or else ! [18:05] solifugus it invokes the gnome-run-application window per default [18:05] !noroot > whazilla [18:05] whazilla, please see my private message [18:05] Linuces = *x :p [18:06] Malicia and arand: I am just booting ubuntu on a virtualbox image... [18:06] give someone sudo permission is very dangerous [18:06] Jack_Sparrow: could allso gimme sudoers user aka root [18:07] instead of having troubleof having one root passwd use sudoers [18:07] whatzilla: give you sudoers means give you root [18:07] no [18:07] It's Application->Accessories->Terminal, and "sudo su -" works.. [18:07] solifugus, I understand nothing of what u try to do [18:07] solifugus: log into the box as an unprilidged user, then use sudo each and every time you need to change a settings. Try not to rely on it least you have the skill to debig permission programs when you accidently create a root owned file in your home directory [18:07] means give me a useraccount on ur dist ... one of the sudo groep .. oh yea its root [18:07] solifugus, GL [18:07] whatzilla: sudo su - give you root [18:07] not if urnot a sudoers [18:07] solifugus Please Do Not Suggest sudo su as an option in this chanel.. thank you [18:08] Malicia: I just rememberd I had virtualbox installed and the ISO downloaded, so it just occurred to me that I could test it out myself real quick.. [18:08] !root [18:08] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [18:08] solifugus Instead of Sudo SU... Please use sudo -i it properly sets up the environment variable in the resulting shell. [18:08] whatzilla: nothing happens :-p [18:08] use john the ripper [18:08] better then guessing [18:08] solifugus, what do u want to do precisely?
