[00:24] hi [00:24] yeah he's running ubuntu :S [00:24] does any one know the name of the package for the berkly-db dev files? [00:24] restart or reboot Krine11 [00:24] ok [00:24] geirha: thanks. I haven't been following these things since I switched from Slackware... [00:24] ill try that [00:24] I've got bad news the pulseaudio setup you helped me get isn't so perfect. [00:25] Loganhoup: sorry I missed you a couple of times, I saw you trying to say hi. Got more problems? [00:25] <_nix_> dmsuperman: I'm not sure :) [00:25] Loganhoup: ok what's up with it? [00:25] funkyhat: yes. We may want to take this to #ubuntu [00:25] Loganhoup: we are in #ubuntu :) [00:25] funkyhat: oh duh nvm [00:25] daniellog, is the headset connected to the computer or the game controller? [00:25] One last question.Where should i put the mounting point for the /boot if i have 2 different OSs in two different HDDs? [00:25] I get an error message "server did not offer security type" when connecting to vnc. I am on ubuntu connecting to a mac. I have enabled remote desktop on the mac. I am using Tightvnc as a vnc client. any ideas? [00:25] the game controller [00:26] funkyhat: it's gotten progressively worse. playing almost any sound breaks it and my wifi too [00:26] 17 19 * * * echo "A" > /tmp/test.log [00:26] Any idea why that never fires? [00:26] daniellog, I see, so otherwise he can use his headset just not with the controller [00:26] Loganhoup: so back to square one :( [00:26] zaxxxon, you there buddy? [00:26] Im back [00:26] Loganhoup: just trying to remember the steps we worked through before [00:26] Okay, so I've tried formatting in Windows and I have managed to get my mp3 player to format there perfectly fine. As far as Windows is concerned, the device is working fine. But I can't format it in Ubuntu. Gparted gives me this error: http://pastebin.com/d447f02f3 And I've already tried fdisk to erase the partition and make an new one and it didn't work. [00:27] HI guys, with the help of people in th chat room ubuntu is installed and working smoothly. [00:27] funkyhat: ya. I don't think it is just playing a sound I think it's a problem of latency. [00:27] no basically he has a 360 controller and he can plug a headset into it, its meant for xbox live but he uses it on his pc and for skype calls etc [00:27] I can't open a socket with the echo port (7). Do I need to enable it in some way? [00:27] Loganhoup: be aware that those symptoms can be distinct bugs in parts of the stack [00:27] he has just installed ubuntu, the controller is working I think but its not picking up the headset plugged into it [00:28] I can't find much on the forums otherwise I wouldn't be here lol [00:28] funkyhat: for example, if I open banshee and just hit play. It will work for 5 or 6 songs. But if I hit play and pause it and play a youtube video and set off a few system sounds it breaks easily. [00:28] is there a way to put a Guest login option in the login screen,..instead of having to login and then switch to guest? [00:28] daniellog, he might need to install drivers through WINE, as the 360 controller is likely expecting a windows machine? [00:28] osmosis, try creating a password-less acount [00:29] yeah, its microsoft [00:29] would that work? [00:29] I love compiz effects. [00:29] dtchen: do you remember the name of the package that provided that wrapper hack for flash and pulseaudio?

[00:40] and knowing is half the battle [00:40] Loganhoup: I thought that was because pulseaudio was running realtime, but I thought we stopped it from doing that [00:41] Loganhoup: are you running a realtime kernel?

[00:43] Loganhoup: (it's really a bad combination: crud hw, crud linux, crud pulseaudio) [00:43] jimcooncat: That's not a topic for #ubuntu, really [00:43] Loganhoup: ok, not realtime then. and you're definitely not in any of the pulse groups right? [00:43] dmsuperman: Ah, but it doesn't show anything before 19:34. Try grepping syslog.0 in case it has been rotated [00:43] jimcooncat: any modem will work in any country [00:43] !dialup | jimcooncat [00:43] jimcooncat: You want to connect via dial-up?

[00:46] whoohoo [00:46] Repeating myself, yet again: I've tried formatting in Windows and I have managed to get my mp3 player to format there perfectly fine. As far as Windows is concerned, the device is working fine. But I can't format it in Ubuntu. Gparted gives me this error: http://pastebin.com/d447f02f3 And I've already tried fdisk to erase the partition and make an new one and it didn't work.

[00:48] What's going on? [00:48] hello, i have a sony mp3 device NWZ S-615 model, it simply doesn't mount... my computer does not connect with it... before upgrade, it mounted, but i could not drag and drop, only look at the folders inside the device... how can i solve this? [00:48] <_nix_> kotsu: the usual [00:48] Just grabbed XChat. I haven't been on IRC in forever. [00:50] Someone want to shell into my box? [00:50] kotsu: not very sensible offering people you don't know shell access [00:50] It's ok. [00:51] dmsuperman: Hm. If there was a syntax error, crontab -e would refuse to save it, so it can't be that, and we know cron works, because root's cronjobs gets run. Really a mystery ... [00:51] Not like I can't see what they're doing or anything. [00:51] <_nix_> lol go ahead and announce and someone will drop by to say hi :) [00:51] kotsu: you'd be surprised [00:51] There [00:51] There's always room for surprise. [00:52] geirha: Quite so :( [00:52] <_nix_> I'm outta here [00:52] kotsu: why'd you want someone to shell in anyway? [00:52] dmsuperman: I just tried with: * * * * * echo "A" > /tmp/foo.log and it runs every minute for me ... [00:53] funkyHat: because it's fun actually, and I'm bored. [00:53] hi, what is the best way to mount a networked windows shared folder on ubuntu ? i want to sync a folder on windows with ubuntu (with unison?) the windows pc is not always connected btw [00:53] geirha: Setting that into mine, shall see [00:54] geirha: Nope, not even * * * * * works [00:54] @sjlkg: Places > Connect to a Server... [00:54] dmsuperman: And "crontab -l" lists the job, right? [00:54] i'm installing ubuntu for the first time, and i ran across something i wasn't sure about [00:54] woops [00:54] ignore that [00:54] geirha: Yup [00:55] hello, i have a sony mp3 device NWZ S-615 model, it simply doesn't mount... my computer does not connect with it (via USB, MTP)... before upgrade, it mounted, but i could not drag and drop, only look at the folders inside the device... how can i solve this? [00:55] how do i control the volume in the terminal? [00:55] <_nix_> kkkduifjalsdd: try the command: alsamixer [00:55] kotsu: OK, I will play doctors and nurses :) [00:55] How about Ekiga... anyone use that?

I've downloaded the drivers, but I must be missing something because they won't compile [00:56] dmsuperman: What about adding it to root's crontab, does that work? "sudo crontab -e" [00:57] kotsu: join #ubuntu-offtopic [00:57] cabrey: that doesn't do the trick. unison can't sync with folders via smb:// [00:57] Anyone have any experience with a quickcam express? or compiling kernel modules? [00:58] cabrey: i think what i'd need to do is to somehow mount the smb share to an actual folder, like /mnt/blah for example in oder for unison to be able to sync it [00:58] <_nix_> Aeosynth: command1; command2; command3 [00:58] <_nix_> Aeosynth: or command1 && command2 && command3 [00:58] _nix_, alsamixer just controls the master volume, is there another terminal program which controls master and pcm? [00:58] sjlkg: mount the share and you can copy to it like a regular folder [00:58] how big should the swap partition be for a 2 gig ram comp? [00:59] Protath: whats the system going to be used for?

I set up wifi-radar with the same parameters as my ibm thinkpad (which has jaunty, and no gnome, but ion3) which connects fine, but when I try to connect from the cloudbook wifi-radar can't get an IP address [01:14] nasa1: find a repo or compile [01:14] i think open source is the future [01:14] it connected to the wifi fine with the gnome network applet thingy, which is, of course, gone now [01:14] Protath: open source and free software are similar, but not exactly the same thing check out Richard Stallmans articles go to http://www.gnu.org and then go to philosophey section [01:15] ActionParsnip, I'm sorry, i'm a beginner... i cannot figure out what these mean: http://paste.ubuntu.com/186137/ [01:15] sebsebseb: here's a link for installing GIMPshop in hardy http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-install-gimpshop-in-ubuntu-hardy.html [01:16] i will read them thoroughly [01:16] mrwes: ok, but don't run hardy anymore [01:16] it sees my router, but can't get an IP for some reason [01:16] cecilia, try this, unplug the device, oprn a terminal and type tail -f /var/log/messages then plug the device in, and wait 10 seconds, then type c to end the prev cmd,,, then look at the messages recorded.. [01:16] sebsebseb: of course not, but it may still hold true for Jaunty [01:16] ok [01:16] tonytraductor: does it work if you set an ip address? [01:17] mrwes: uh huh [01:17] My hard drive says it's using 25 gigabytes when theres only 13 on there. [01:17] cecilia, copy and paste that to pastebin if needed [01:17] but my IP and router set the IP, it's all dhcp [01:17] right [01:19] I'm so used to my laptop automagically connecting, I wouldn't know how to set an IP anyway [01:19] hey in firefox for instance on media fire.com the animations are working so i can't upload my files [01:19] any1 got an idea [01:19] I mean, my laptop is set for auto mode, auto channel, open key, and just connects without issue [01:19] apparently you can downgrade xorg using synaptic but I dont see how [01:20] can't figure out why this little guy won't. I connected to the wifi when I first booted it, then, since removing gnome and all that bloat, I can't get it to connect [01:20] hey in firefox for instance on media fire.com the animations are working so i can't upload my files [01:20] I've tried iwconfig wlan0 essid linksys from the terminal, too, and get no error, but get no connection [01:20] is there a easy way to make ubuntu choose a random background on boot?

[01:28] so, if I understand correctly, I should be able to connect now with sudo dhclient wlan0, then iwconfig wlan0 essid [01:28] Datz1: sudo apt-get install php5 [01:28] ivantis: Thanks, I'll try it [01:29] no... in /media there are many mounting points for it, because i've been trying to solve this problem for months and many people tried, creating mounting points... but none of them is really "mounted"... the folders do not appear [01:29] the points are sony, walkman, WALKMAN, SONY, etc [01:29] or, say I'm out at a cafe, perhaps if I do sudo dhclient wlan0, then iwlist scan to find the cafe's essid, then iwconfig wlan0 essid ...does that sound about right? [01:29] anyone uses bacula? [01:29] all empty [01:30] have a nice evening [01:30] thanks a lot for your help [01:30] but... wheni click on WALKMAN, it pops a message: You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of "WALKMAN". [01:30] it may be this [01:30] How can I check which version of php I have installed? [01:31] Link23, not sure if this is an error or just that you really did have a 30G drive the whole time. du -sh will report the size of files used, but takes a long time to run. If it's an older drive it may be ending it life, other than that I can't say === R_Rios_ is now known as o_a [01:31] cecilia, try df -a and then whatever mount point it has do a chown [01:32] tonytraductor, other way round, first iwconfig (establish connection to an essid), then dhclient (get IP from said essid) [01:32] darlek: 14 G I may just format again I've had troubles ever since I formatted that thing. [01:32] okay, thanks Darlek, et al [01:32] I've installed ubuntu and it boots fine if my soundcard (Creative AudioPCI (ES1371,ES1373)) is removed from the machine but hangs if the soundcard is attached. Is there a boot command I can use to disable the soundcard or soundcard module when I boot - or any advice on troubleshooting this? [01:33] Loganhoup: ok, run ps aux | grep pulse [01:33] I had PCLinuxOS on my laptop before installing Jaunty, and it had a little network applet thing that did all the work for me (ran in fluxbox panel, before I started using ion3) [01:33] Loganhoup: which user owns the pulseaudio process? [01:33] Anacranom, take a look please: http://paste.ubuntu.com/186150/ [01:33] so I'm not exactly an expert on wifi connection, but it seems I'm learning [01:33] Link23: so du -sh reports 14G? Could temporary files be still in the trash? check for any hiddlen dot .000-trash directories first [01:33] ivantis: Looks like that did not install the latest php version. Maybe not in the repos yet. [01:34] I had used Ubuntu back in Dapper days before moving to PCLOS, then came back when PCLOS updates started breaking stuff [01:34] but I have Debian Lenny on this machine, my main work box, and everything else in my office [01:34] darlek: nothing. [01:34] none of the debian machines use wifi, though [01:34] ivantis: I want PHP 5.2.9, and have 5.2.4 installed [01:35] but the thinkpad with jaunty didn't have any trouble connecting with wifi-radar, which was still basically doing all the work for me...thus my confusion with this little cloudbook [01:35] what is the latest php version availiable through the ubuntu repos? [01:35] funkyhat: well my name is all over this list so I assume me. [01:35] I want to update/upgrade the cloudbook, which is running hardy herron, but the guy I bought it from recommended against that, stating that the hardy install was configured by the manufacturer for this specific hardware [01:35] please help: ubuntu 9.4 (jaunty). When creating a samba share from this PC, another PC (same distro) receives "Unable to mount location, failed to receive share list from server". Cause? [01:35] tonytraductor, all the GUI programs at some point break, but the command lines always work, so if you know those you can always get connected [01:35] but i can't see why that would mean upgrading with interfere with the oem configurations [01:36] I was just iffy on the command line tools to connect to wifi, although I was reading on the ubuntu forums [01:36] Loganhoup: yeah looks like it's you then... if you kill pulseaudio and then start it in a terminal (pkill -9 pulseaudio && pulseaudio) do you still get issues? [01:36] funkyhat: heres the output http://paste.ubuntu.com/186152/ [01:36] hold on [01:36] always nice to come here and have someone hold my hand and walk me through it, though... [01:37] I'm really trying not to rely any more than I have to on gui tools, these days [01:37] Datz1: yeah, I got that one too. The repos are sometimes slow on getting new versions [01:37] hi everyone [01:37] funkyhat: I get this first in red [01:37] W: pid.c: Stale PID file, overwriting.

I need to get read-protected files from the disk before I reinstall, can anyone help? [01:38] Link23, does df -h confirm this? [01:38] cecilia, sudo it if u need [01:38] darlek: Except that I can't remount it. I've had trouble mounting/unmounting ever since the format [01:38] Loganhoup: click on the pulseaudio icon and click on configure local sound server [01:38] well, Anacranom, it apperaed a sound yellow 0 [01:38] funkyhat: the last one failed to push chunk into memblockq I always get a minimum of 8 times [01:38] funkyhat: k [01:38] random1374, before grub takes off press escape then safe-mode.. you can get to a command line there [01:38] cecilia, ??? [01:38] darlek: It's not shown. [01:38] Loganhoup: also can you pastebin your /etc/pulse/default.pa again please? [01:38] yes [01:39] it showed only 0 [01:39] ya I also got E: cpulimit.c: Received request to terminate due to CPU overload. and it killed itself. [01:39] Loganhoup: Loganhoup on the multicast/RTP tab, make sure nothing is ticked [01:39] cecilia, do A ls -l /dev/pts [01:39] funkyhat: everything was ticked! [01:39] ok...let me see [01:39] bastidrazor: tried that and doing sudo apt-get install --fix-broken, but it can't resolve the server, even though all is ok with my connection [01:39] Loganhoup: also untick the tickbox on the simultaneous output tab, you don't need that either [01:40] Link23, hmmm... yeah it's looking like a redo might be in order. backup anything useful!! [01:40] please help: ubuntu 9.4 (jaunty). When creating a samba share from this PC, another PC (same distro) receives "Unable to mount location, failed to receive share list from server". Cause? [01:40] done. let me get my default.pa pastebinned [01:40] Loganhoup: you probably don't need anything ticked on the network access tab either [01:40] !samba | Gorfy00 [01:40] Gorfy00: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [01:40] darlek: I already did a redo a while ago. [01:40] hi, i'm having problems with urxvt making it borderless [01:40] funkyhat: so everything is unticked. [01:40] what is the name of the archive tool in ubuntu? i forget [01:41] Anacranom, look: http://paste.ubuntu.com/186154/ [01:41] Loganhoup: ok, and i just want to check your config to see none of those things are being loaded there either [01:41] Link23, might be an issue of bad blocks. I had that once with a Samsung drive. I'm not sure how to check for that in Ubuntu however [01:41] darlek: we use samba because there are a couple windows computers in the house [01:41] random1374, you asked to get some read only files off and by getting to a command line you can do that. [01:41] Hey. Having problems with using mysql in C as, though mysql is installed, I apparently do not have mysql.h -- What do I need to get that has this library? [01:41] Gorfy00, yep, that's what it's for [01:41] cecilia, yeah- not the one [01:42] since no one on #linux will answer guys can i ave my main harddrive (has windows and ubuntu) now i have a second hard drive which i wanna instll ubuntu kubuntu and suse (i have to unplug second hard drive at times to plug in my dvd players anyways will it work? so i can plug in second ahrd drive and be able to boot any of the two s form main drive and any of the three from my second hdd [01:42] darlek, so you have no input on the question? heh [01:42] yes... [01:42] Gorfy00, nope haha.. just thought ubottu could send you the links [01:42] hey. I'm in the market for a new laptop. I'd like full compatibility with ubuntu.

[01:42] darlek awesome >.< [01:42] funkyhat: http://paste.ubuntu.com/186157/ [01:42] bigmb: probably libmysqlclient-dev (but don't hold me to it, I'm just guessing) [01:42] tanner2007: sounds plausable [01:42] cecilia, and the device was plugged in when u took the df -a ? [01:43] Gorfy00, you might also try #ubuntu-server since samba is more likely a topic there, but who knows [01:43] i hope.. [01:43] yes, it was... [01:43] true [01:43] tanner2007: good luck [01:43] bastidrazor: ok, thanks, but do i get to be able to access and copy the files? if i boot with a livecd, it will let me access some of my stuff, but not all - i'm supposing i need to logon, does that command line allow it? === tanner2007 is now known as tannersumers === tannersumers is now known as tannersummers [01:43] yes i"m awesome in that a snail is awesome too [01:43] Eroick, system76, dell ubuntu offers, there are a lot of other vendors too [01:43] i hope fccf.. [01:43] tannersummers: I knew it was you [01:43] lol [01:43] tanner 2007 and tannerS are all me [01:43] Anyone know if it is possible to get iTunes running somehow in Linux? I've heard WINE just has too many problems with it... [01:43] darlek: I'm gonna go on what somebody suggested earlier, isn't rm the delete command? [01:43] co0l...got the little guy checking my gmail over imap with mutt [01:43] wasn' [01:44] usser: but I'm in canada. border fees suck... [01:44] t I talking to you 13 hours ago [01:44] tx-dan search the repos I'm sure there was a couple of programs for itunes in there. [01:44] Link23: man rm as I won't say in open channel in case of misuse ;) [01:44] here's an interesting question at least for me, i'm trying to reduce writes to my SSD, so I'm thinking about turning off cron and anacron, anything think that's a bad idea? [01:44] Loganhoup: ok that looks fine, try logging out and back in and see if it's improved [01:44] random1374, from the liveCD you'll just have to mount your partitions and you shoudl be able to access the entire contents. getting to a root shell via safe-mode should allow this also [01:44] Loganhoup, hmm I can't seem to find anything =/ [01:44] tannersummers: I had something similar for school a couple years ago and didn't have any problems with it [01:44] Link23: you can also use the file manager nautilus for the same task without danger to any other drives [01:45] Loganhoup: I should have thought of these things last time really [01:45] Link23, Places > Home Folder [01:45] Hey.

Know how to get iTunes running in Linux? [01:46] Anacranom, i'm sorry, i didn't understand... how can i do this, and why? [01:47] tannersummers: I don't believe so [01:47] one more question: does anyone know if ati radeon hd cards might work a little better in 9.04 than they did in 8.10? [01:47] nice.. [01:47] ty guys [01:47] tannersummers: good enough - did you remember to put the swap partition back in ... if not you will only need one swap for all [01:47] funkyhat: I'm going to give it a quick test run [01:47] cecilia, its all good, just gotta figure it out [01:48] fccf i did, right right to ubuntu partitoon and put it 4.5 gb sinc my pc ram has 4gb so idk if it does anythign but if not then o well no harm done..and turned swap on of course [01:48] wow [01:48] right... i'll wait... but i haven't understood a single word of what you said, adding some nick somewhere somehow... :) [01:48] that made NO sense at all [01:48] cecilia: :) [01:49] linxeh, hello [01:49] but this channel is busy and i may have to ask for user info that you dont want to "broadcast" across the whole channel,,, [01:49] but this channel is busy and i may have to ask for user info that you dont want to "broadcast" across the whole channel,,, cecilia [01:49] hey. any1 knows how to disable encrypted home dirs thing from the ubuntu 9.04? === rp3__ is now known as rp3 [01:49] i see...

[01:50] like what package would i need to get? [01:50] AakashPatel: what file do you need? [01:50] AakashPatel: you have the specific header file that you want? [01:51] Clusty: nah, need the entire folder [01:51] Now I am c0nnected here with the clooudbook [01:51] hard t0 type on this tiny keyboard [01:51] AakashPatel, apt-cache search OpenGL will find you everything on OpenGL [01:51] big cannon :D [01:52] AakashPatel, then pipe it to grep to find headers, so apt-cache search OpenGL | grep -i header [01:52] tannersummers: awesome - I just finished reinstalling my winxp laptop ... now I have to put a vbox on it [01:52] AakashPatel, or use synaptic if cli isn't your thing ;) [01:52] wats vbox [01:53] tannersummers: virtual box for windows ... allows me to run ubuntu (albiet slightly slower) in a window === jforte is now known as Jena [01:53] u mean like microsoft virtual pc?

[01:54] fccf so lets say my vista cant read my usb drivers, but ubuntu does, so i can run ubuntu in that little box and lets say plug my usb in and it show up in the box 2? [01:54] Was referring to servers... not this channel. [01:55] tannersummers: vista would need to see the usb - so that ubuntu can access them [01:55] tannersummers: like running wine , kinda [01:55] hmm so wat vista cant see, vb cant? [01:56] tannersummers: right vbox is just a program running in windows, that brings up a full blown ubuntu OS [01:56] clear [01:57] ok fccf do u need to install he OS in like a virtual partition? or can u run an already installed 1? [01:57] Anyone know how to get iTunes running in linux? I've heard WINE has problems with it... (Yes, I need iTunes... for AppleTV syncing) [01:58] tannersummers: vbox creates a virtual partition ... also available for download are already configured vdi's [01:58] TX-Dan, as far as i know it doesnt run in wine, virtualbox is your only option im afraid [01:58] !itunes > TX-Dan [01:58] TX-Dan, please see my private message [01:58] tannersummers: vdi = virtual disk image [01:58] [01:58] how to put 5 +1 sound [01:58] darlek: so far space looks good but I can't unmount or (probably) remount. === aakashpa1el is now known as Patel [01:59] bastidrazor, See the last phrase of my text please :) I have a reason why I need that specifically. [01:59] usser, alright, thanks! [01:59] fccf got it = === Patel is now known as AakashPatel [02:00] Link23: close any terminal windows or make sure you're not in the directory of the harddrive [02:00] Link23: sounds iffy again though [02:01] darlek: I'm underprivledged. [02:02] Link23, maybe there's a zombie process on the drive, ps aux ? Don't really know Link23, I'd be shutting down and checking cables by now [02:02] Hi everyone. I've been trying to get my webcam working for a couple days now. I've made a little bit of progress, but it's still not working. I was able to find the right driver and "make install" it, but the camera still isn't working. Could I be missing a step? [02:03] darlek: I think I need to be root [02:04] with Xvfb I am receiving Xlib: extension "XFree86-VidModeExtension" missing on display when attempting to use opengl (Mesa) to discern the video mode and depth. Is this something that was not compiled in to support? [02:07] !webcam | broken__ [02:07] broken__: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [02:07] maybe those links will help [02:08] Is there a fast way to launch an app in Ubuntu? Something similar to Launchy for Windows [02:09] You just type a few characters and it finds the app you want to run. [02:09] Alt+F2 [02:09] zortec, try gnome-do [02:09] zortec there's gnome-do in a gui as well as tilda for command line [02:10] cosmo, eseven73, darlek: Thanks, gnome-do is a desktop launcher? [02:10] yeppers [02:10] yep [02:10] yep [02:10] * darlek high fives eseven73 [02:11] Ok, cool! Next question is when you add/remove apps from the menu, is that the same as going through Synaptic? [02:11] ping [02:11] is there an apt-get for chrome? [02:11] my broswer is broken i cant google it [02:11] grkblood13: Chromium is in beta [02:12] grkblood13: if you add a ppa repo but its not in the default repos [02:12] umm, my bad [02:12] i meant opera [02:12] zortec, the menu is the display of programs. The programs may still exist on the system. Synaptic on the other hand is uninstalling the program entirely [02:12] grkblood13: try apt-cache search opera but I don't think thats there its closed source I thought you have to pay for opera [02:12] grkblood13: you should be able to download a deb from their site. [02:12] darlek: I'm talking about the add/remove on the gnome menu [02:12] opera is not open source, but they do a free version with ads [02:12] opera is free [02:12] darlek: Does that pull in packages from synaptic? === bobbafet1 is now known as sportman [02:12] histo: You haven't had to pay for opera for a few years now. Nor ads, spudCakePie [02:12] orly [02:13] zortec, sorry, then yes that removes programs [02:13] Flannel: ahh [02:13] spudCakePie, ads? I've never seen ads [02:13] Opera has ads now? Hmm [02:13] no [02:13] it doesn't [02:13] well ive not used it for over a year, maybe the uni had an old version [02:13] spudCakePie: back in 2005 ;) [02:14] hi im having problems with my webcam [02:14] can anyone help [02:14] !webcam | heidi [02:14] heidi: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [02:14] hi histo can u help me [02:14] my system is running with 98% proc usage in the id catagory of top, what does this mean and why is there so much usage? [02:15] darlek: I've been to that page and finished all of the steps there. I have compiled the driver, and it acted like it installed the module. I just don't know what to do now that it's still not working [02:15] gartral: whats using all the cpu? and what type of cpu do you have? [02:15] zortec, i think the two are different, synaptic asks that you login as sudo whereas add/remove refers to packages on the system already. If you then ask to install programs it'll ask for a login [02:15] histo: i have no idea whats using it, and its a single core celeron 1.69 ghz from 2003-4 [02:15] gartral, id stands for idle [02:16] zortec, both are using a list of programs generated by apt-get/ aptitude [02:16] histo: top shows nothing using that much cpu, but it sounds like its about to ow my fans out [02:16] blow* [02:17] darlek: Which do you use? synaptic or add/remove. I'm reading idea #2583 on Ubuntu which is to remove synaptic and keep add/remove [02:17] darlek: Sorry, remove add/remove and keep synaptic [02:17] hai [02:17] Zortec you don't want to remove synaptic [02:18] bastidrazor: what could be using all my cpu's idle time? [02:19] how to install open solaris with dual booting,,,??? [02:19] zortec, I'm not suffering by leaving them both on. I like both because they have star ratings on popularity, but otherwise I use aptitude. the gui systems are useful though when searching for similarly names packages. It's up to you. I just leave them there because I never know and the space isn't a problem. [02:20] hai hai [02:20] histo: please... my cpu sounds like its abut to blow out [02:20] how do i pinpoint and stop an task using idle cpu?? [02:21] zortec, like if I compare nano to scite. I have them both, for different reasons. no harm in keeping them. No point in worrying about every program unless they're huge [02:21] gartral: where do you think its using 98% cpu === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [02:21] gartral, i'm running top now and mine also is between 88-90% [02:22] histo: i have no idea what could be using my cpu, as top doesnt show any useful info on programs using different classes or whatever you call them of proc usage [02:22] darlek: I have heard of aptitude. How is that different from synaptic or apt-get? [02:22] bastidrazor: gartral: are you guys talking ao bu thte id field up top? [02:22] yes [02:23] gartral: I don't believe that is cpu being used [02:23] histo: but this is the first time ive ever seen activity in that section [02:23] zortec, like synaptic for the command line. Same as apt-get but adds some extra dependency handling by giving you suggestions if there is something wrong. [02:23] gartral: I believe thats idle [02:23] histo: what could it be thn, cause my CPU fan kicked ont over drive and sounds like a jet engine, and i have nothing running [02:23] gartral, histo correct.. that is idleness of your cpu.. it isn't a bad thing [02:23] darlek Oh, that would be useful. I have always just installed/uninstalled through synaptic. [02:24] zortec, I can quickly open a terminal (with tilda), do a search with apt-get or aptitude, and then install or update all quite quickly [02:24] gartral: does it normally run like that? Or is this the first time you've run ubuntu? [02:24] zortec, if you know what you want you don't have to wait for the GUI to load . I use an old laptop, so for me that makes a difference [02:25] histo: Ubuntu has been running on this machine as the sole os since Cononical release 6.06, today is the first day ive had *this* problem [02:25] zortec, mind you everything runs fine, no lags, but if you can type, why wait?? [02:25] darlek: One feature I would like to see in synaptic is a way to narrow down your search results... you often end up with 20+ packages for something like gstreamer [02:25] gartral: well your cpu isn't maxed out I would look at the temp perhaps dust is the culprit [02:25] gartral: try checking your cpu temp [02:25] Why did all those users just quit? [02:26] !netsplit | zortec [02:26] gartral: acpi -t [02:26] zortec: 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 [02:26] histo: this POS has no sensors... [02:26] it was a netsplit throughout freenode. don't panic. [02:26] !lm-sensors [02:26] To access CPU temperature sensors and detect fan speeds, install the lm-sensors package. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto for installation and usage instructions. [02:26] !netsplit [02:26] gartral: I would opne the case and blow out the heatsink [02:26] a good reason to ignore join/parts [02:26] zortec you can narrow by typing a keyword into the search section. I used this once to search for old linux kernels I didn't know I still had installed. Synaptic found them and I was able to unload them and rerun grub all in synaptic. So that a win for synaptic in this case. [02:26] eseven73: Ah, so it's nothing to be worried about. :) [02:27] yeap I don't even see the netsplits anymore. [02:27] * histo loves irssi [02:27] zortec, yeah normally netsplits only last a few seconds [02:27] ok so netsplits aside, i have something of a problem. [02:27] xchat does well if you configure it enough [02:27] I have seen them quite a few times now [02:27] zortec, day to day though it's apt-cache search or aptitude FTW [02:27] histo: i did that last night, with a vacum, its clean [02:27] in hardy, i used displayconfig-gtk to configure my multiple monitors. [02:27] * eseven73 high fives darlek +1 for aptitude :D [02:27] lol [02:27] gartral: hrm... no idea then but I believe id is just idle [02:28] Hey guys, The second line from my /sbin/route -n shows as follows. 169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 1000 0 0 eth0. My Ip range is 192.168.0.0, is there something wrong with my network? [02:28] i'm not here to complain about displayconfig-gtk being obsoleted, i just want to know what i should be using instead of it to quickly create a mirrored display. [02:28] darlek: Which is faster though apt-get or aptitude? [02:28] (i say mirrored because i assume it is simpler. extended desktop would be fine too) [02:29] histo bastidrazor, lmsensors reports no sensors found [02:29] gartral: did you try acpi -t [02:29] What do you think compiz effects? I found a nice balance with normal... but I want to know if I'm really missing out by not going with extra [02:29] zortec, probably apt-get but only marginally. I use it for updates and search even though aptitude is going to be the apt-get replacement. Also for safe-upgrades and distribution upgrades aptitude is the preferred program [02:30] histo: where do i put that? [02:30] gartral: in terminal [02:30] gartral, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto [02:30] gartral: also check out htop pretty nice monitor [02:30] zortec, apt-get is still around because we all can type it easier than apt-i-t-ude ... the extra t always gives me a typo :( [02:31] woaw, lmsensors just broke [02:31] darlek: It's easier to type, but isn't that where tab completion is handy? :) [02:31] darlek: For aptitude [02:31] zortec, yep definitely [02:31] the box says it's installed, but i try and run it, and it says it's not installed [02:32] darlek: How long have you been running linux? [02:32] histo: lm-sensors broke, the box says it's installed, but i try and run it, and it says it's not installed [02:32] ok....can anyone suggest some good downloads for me? [02:32] im new to this all [02:32] i just did a hard boot is that going to mess anything up [02:32] zortec, fulltime for about 2 years. off and on with work a lot longer.

This question has probably been asked a lot, but how easy is it to get WoW running in Ubuntu? [02:33] histo: well how do i check my sensors after acpi -t then? [02:34] gartral: it should output the temps [02:34] zortec, as easy as it is on windows [02:34] darlek: I'm slowly trying to move over to Ubuntu and leave Windows behind. I set up a dual boot system for now [02:34] zortec, actually quite well I hear. check the WINE hq database for a very long list of compatiable games [02:34] gartral: if it returns nothing then its not working. How old is this box? [02:34] zortec, not that i've played wow on ubuntu, but it's possible [02:34] histo: it just sat there and gave me a promt again, i told you, this system is dumbfire, it has no sensors [02:34] Any other users here ran WoW on ubuntu?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [02:40] just installed ubuntu 9.04 on my pc. Have x64 and ati display adapter. Enabled the binary driver and want to use the catalyst control center. Problem is, that I have two displays, On CCC (catalyst control center) there is option for setting dual displays but it's grayed out. Says something about it being availeable only in administrative access [02:41] ha1331_: Try running the program from root? [02:41] I backed up my home folder onto my maxtor external, which I usually do. Then I installed 9.04, now my hard drive won't ready. I tried loading it onto my wifes windows machine and it gave me an I/O. I am assuming here that hardware failure is not the issue [02:41] ready=read* [02:41] the adapter is some crap... not that good 3650 [02:42] Fohn: How can I do that? no such option just the icon on the menu? [02:43] SeanJM: Is the fs on the drive linux (extX, reiserfs etc) Windows doesn't play nice with them [02:43] graelin, it's formated NTFS [02:44] hmm.. ntfs in Linux is a crapshoot.. reliable overall, but writing to that fs can be problematic sometimes [02:44] graelin, I've never had an issue before. I reinstalled 8.10 about a month ago with the same procedures with no issues [02:44] Seems like linux should be able to boot off NTFS, though.. [02:44] unfortunately I'm not knowledgeable enough there to be any help [02:45] graelin, no worries [02:45] windows wouldn't read the hard drive either--so I am a little worried, as it was my only backup and has about 4 years of work on it [02:45] SeanJM: Agreed... I've never had an issue with it before either, but it's an established warning in all the ntfs linux docs/webpages [02:46] ha1331_ you still around? [02:48] sweet. Just crashed atleast the desktop trying to play avi file and closing the play list on the player.

I noticed Firefox in 9.04 doesn't have a "remember password" checkbox. Is there a way to get that feature back? [03:15] restartx? (alt-sysRq-k) [03:15] cabrey: now, any chance you know how to fix my postfix/dovecot/sasl authentication problem, too? [03:15] if the sound fails on the livecd then it would fail on install? right? [03:15] graelin: i just did that, no change [03:15] rignes: what version is it? I know there's one in 3.0.10 in Arch under the usual Options menu [03:16] is there anyone here that has experience with the easycap usb video capture device? [03:16] Hazuki: I have firefox 3.0.10 installed [03:16] ubuntu: Not if you can download & install the correct driver to enable the sounds. [03:16] rignes: should be under Preferences, I think under the Privacy or Security tab or something [03:16] gartral: sledgehammer? [03:16] graelin: eject -r: eject: unable to eject, last error: Input/output error [03:17] Pranka: there is a driver loaded. just no sound output. alsamixer is set up correctly as well [03:17] graelin: as in a program, or smash the thing to bits?

I deleted default.keyring but it's still asking me to authenticate and it hasn't asked me to reset it. [03:18] rignes: it is in the security tab [03:18] ubuntu: Under System->Preferences->Sounds. In the Devices tab, under Audio Conferencing,Sound playback. [03:18] Hrr1963: gnome+compiz+AWN leaves me in linux bliss [03:19] how do i truly FORCE the OS to demand the cdrom be ejected?!?

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 :) [03:20] Can someone tell me where is the directory for SSL certs? [03:20] gartral, sure, but how come that an OS (supposed to work...) from one day to another, it just doesnt connect, and i havent modify a thing... [03:20] also, try manually with paperclip [03:20] gartral, thank you for the !info but i did address him in the message. please read more carefully [03:20] Hazuki: Thanks guys. I think I have it all sorted out now. [03:20] rignes: 'welcome :) [03:21] bastidrazor, most clients won't highlight that way, you have to put nick first. then message [03:21] bastidrazor: this is why we practice puting nicks in front of our mesages [03:21] oh gee. most client *do* highlight your nickname anywhere, now are we going to make an exact protocol of highlighting? please.

[03:22] gartral: command line: sudo eject /dev/sr0 [03:22] I have to congrats , this channel users, good support. Wish we could get that in kubuntu channel. :) (Sorry for the spam) [03:23] Can someone tell me where is the directory for SSL certs? [03:23] Hrr1963: Kubuntu is kind of unofficial...it's not treated as well as vanilla (chocolate?)

[03:23] hi [03:23] Hazuki: Kubuntu is entirely official [03:23] darlek_: i tryed that, no change, SmithKurosaki same, output eject: unable to eject, last error: Input/output error [03:23] ubottu: sorry, fair enough =P He typo'd first though [03:23] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [03:24] Hrr1963: the #kubuntu channel can definitely use some more help from people! (for instance you? :) [03:24] LjL, we we're just trying to be helpful. That was kind of mean, especially coming from an op. :/ [03:24] gartral: Did you unmount the DVD? [03:24] how do i check which version i have? [03:24] eseven73: i am not an op, and i found you were being anal rather than helpful, really. [03:24] i keep repeating this, my dvdrom is ignoring all eject commands... is there posibly a true FORCE eject hidden anywhere? [03:24] gartral, under ps aux is there anything that could be a related program? maybe too many zombie eject requests? [03:24] hello [03:24] it said i downloaded kubuntu but it's got gnome [03:24] LjL, ive seen you kick people. You used to be one then. [03:24] LjL, i used to help there, for sure. Why not? But get so dissapointed of the OS that closed the channel :) [03:24] linux: again, i keep repeating myself, i know for a &FACT* i have no disk in the drive [03:24] eseven73: yes, i used to. [03:25] gartral: paperclip the actual drive? [03:25] darlek_: lemme check [03:25] not while the computer is on! [03:25] gartral: even so, it thinks there is one [03:25] gartral: never stick metal into a running piece of electronics, yeah... [03:25] SmithKurosaki: third repeat, there is no gopherhole on the modle dvdrom [03:25] has anyone here seen the dropbox tool? it syncs in realtime your files between mac, windows, and linux ... plus it has a web front end to boot -> http://tr.im/n6Ve ... pretty cool stuff [03:26] LjL, is there a reason for your hostility toward me? [03:26] user010-- go to system administration system moniter and the system tab [03:26] sysRPL: you might want to go to #ubuntu-offtopic [03:26] Pranka: nope. didn't work. the driver shows up 4 times in the list. autodetect didn't work as well. [03:26] How does one get to be an op in the channel? [03:26] cabrey_: they have a program for linux with specific ubuntu instructions [03:26] ubuntu: Then I'm sorry, I can't be of any help. [03:26] linux or whoever suggested ps aux, no, there are no zombie eject commands [03:27] Pranka: Thank you for trying. [03:27] hello, i'm having a strange problem... i just put together a new system (i7 920+asus p6t) and when i boot from the liveCD, everything i do takes me to a busybox screen (install, try ubuntu and check cd)... has this happened to anyone else here? [03:27] darlek_: no, no zombied eject commands [03:27] eseven73: not one that is ontopic for this channel, and i'd say it's a case of "have you stopped beating your wife". [03:27] rats [03:27] gartral: Sorry I came in late - you are trying to open the DVD to put a disk in the drive? [03:27] i have a HTPC, its running a Mythbuntu and all of a sudden when i decide to use it last week, no audio and no desktop the mythtv frontend program autostarts itself at boot, but if you quit it, all there is is a black background w/ a cursor no taskbar, no icons, no background, no right click menu [03:27] wine....babaschess runtime error how do i fix? [03:27] fiber--bad cd reburn [03:27] sorry gartral, didnt see that before, i only really read stuff with my name in here === darlek_ is now known as darlek [03:28] hansolo669: strange... just bittorrented it and it's my second burn... oh well, time to try again [03:28] linux: yes, but the modle drive i have has no gopher hole, and as such, no paperclip will help, and it thinks theres a disk in it already [03:28] fiber: make sure the download is good [03:28] linux: i have a benq dvdrom, it work well most of the time [03:28] I see that my question is going to get lost in cyberspace [03:29] fiber, look for a md5 checkfile. I don't use them much, but that would ensure a download is correct. [03:29] im rebooting.... [03:29] fiber--yes maby bad torrent but not likley try using newr cd (someone else had a similar problem trunout it was a bad cd [03:29] gartral: what indicates it thinks it has a DVD in the drive? [03:29] cabrey_: indeed... brb, time to md5 the thing [03:30] zortec, probably on the ubuntu site or irc section. Since this is a large channel it would take a lot of time to be an op my guess [03:30] sup Zorix [03:30] Anyone know of any linux software that will convert MKV to MP4/M4v? [03:30] zortec: sup? [03:30] thanks everyone for the tips! [03:30] could someone pls help me with a postfix/dovecot/sasl authentication issue? [03:30] np [03:30] The_Beard: mencoder [03:30] !ask [03:30] 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. :-) [03:30] Sorry, phone. [03:30] SmithKurosaki, thanks mate! [03:31] struggled for a coupla days with it, following howtos, but error message point to something being wrong with sasl authentication part of it all [03:31] !ubottu [03:31] Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [03:31] sry [03:31] zortec: poke me when you are back i have other chans to attend to [03:32] #kubuntu [03:32] The_Beard, the mencoder is awesome but a little hard to use on the command line. Look for WinFF. ffmpeg and mencoder are the two programs that deal with conversion and have a few GUI frontends [03:32] darlek, will look, thanks! [03:32] I know that the ATI drivers are not the best in linux, but whenever I enable the proprietary drivers it works great, until I switch users, then it goes black [03:32] ok im off (sorta) for now some one see how fiber did(pleas) :) [03:33] i have to power off the machine, it happens everytime i click switch user [03:33] I have a Radeon HD 3600, btw [03:34] hello,if i am install a new package i always get this error : http://www.ubuntu.pastebin.com/m15400051 [03:34] please help me [03:34] no, help ME! [03:34] whitt: I think I had the same problem. Did you ever manually configure your xorg.conf file? [03:34] i have a HTPC, its running a Mythbuntu and all of a sudden when i decide to use it last week, no audio and no desktop the mythtv frontend program autostarts itself at boot, but if you quit it, all there is is a black background w/ a cursor no taskbar, no icons, no background, no right click menu === cabrey_ is now known as cabrey [03:35] Fohn: nope, that scares the crap outta me. lol [03:35] Is it completely normal to be overwhelmed with all the information on Linux? I feel like there is so many choices with every app [03:35] cabrey: id you miss my heartfelt thanks during a netsplit or somethin;? [03:36] zortec: To help, stick with stuff that's in main (not universe) [03:36] zortec: at least, at the beginning. Feel free to dive into universe as well. [03:36] khadafi, try sudo apt-get -f install [03:36] zortec, yep pretty normal. ;) don't worry about the programs, there will always be one. Think more about what you want to do instead. It's different than Windows in that respect [03:36] i do have some other issues that were stumping me, but I don't think i'm gonna get much help with postfix/dovecot/sasl authentication :( [03:36] The way I have been approaching it is if I used the program in Windows and there is a linux counterpart, I get that one [03:36] Well after that little battle with LjL, my respect for the #ubuntu staff has dropped to an all time low, I've been here two years, and ill be damned if I let him get to me, I love Ubuntu too much to leave this channel. I'm got that off my chest. at least. [03:37] whitt: :D. Well that very well could be your issue. Perhaps you could pastebin your xorg.conf file for me to look at? It's located at /etc/X11/xorg.conf [03:37] For instance, I use thunderbird in windows and I see it's available in linux [03:37] is there a key to access the menu up top? alt+a should bring up applications.. what is it? [03:37] my firefox doesnt load 25% of its pages, and complains of several missing gnome components on the console. Ive installed it from an apt-get install (which should of installed all dependancies) [03:37] ive seen a bug out there about it === charlie is now known as Guest13511 [03:37] zortec, that's find to start. familiarity is always good. Later you'll find other programs that do similar things. It's quite vast [03:38] dennister: in general, we're best at answering which button to press to get the gui to do something.... [03:38] i m using a curl operation in my script , how can check if it exec as expected ? [03:39] What is a good linux program for winamp which is what I used in Win? [03:39] bastidrazor : i am still get same error [03:39] I know about amarok, but that is kde right? [03:40] runtime error in wine......anyway to fix? [03:40] zortec, the new amarok have shoutcast integrated so. [03:40] ive installed babaschess through wine [03:40] zortec: It is kde, however you can install it in normal ubuntu. [03:40] go for that one. [03:40] khadafi, this is the best i've found but use it at your own risk.. the last entry :: http://forum.freespire.org/archive/index.php/t-9018.html [03:40] Is there any way to install packages if I'm on 7.10? [03:40] dennister: see #ubuntu-server [03:40] zortec: rhythm box should be a good winamp substitute, comes w/ ubuntu [03:40] sometimes crashes sayin runtime error [03:40] losher: yeah...i know, although i have so much respect for some of the peeps in here for more advanced stuff... [03:40] zortec, you can still use it ingnome it will download some kde stuff [03:40] zortec, audacious isn't bad. There's like a gajillion winamp style programs though [03:40] i think i'll have to wait until genii has some time again [03:41] <|Zippo|> somebody is using firefox-32bits on jaunty 64bits? [03:41] I just like to use caution when downloading packages... it doesn't seem like it's a good idea to mix kde/gnome packages together [03:41] Fohn: http://pastebin.com/m564e6b67 [03:41] dennister: agreed, but your question is pretty specialized.... [03:41] So I've been trying to find all gnome apps [03:41] cabrey: yeah, i was trying to get some help with that in that channel the other day...to no avail i'm afraid [03:41] zortec, rhythumbox is already in Aplications, Sound/Video [03:41] zortec: There's nothing wrong with it. The only downside is you need both libraries installed (and in memory when using both at the same time) [03:41] zortec: This is true, it took some work to get amarok back up after it upgraded... I recommend a GNOME package. Just letting you know that it is a pretty viable option. [03:41] Flannel: Isn't that adding more overhead to the system? [03:42] perhaps some of the specialized geeks actually had a short bout of 'life' happening last weekend :) [03:42] Does anyone know much about dual monitor with ATI Radeon? [03:42] GOT very pissed by kubuntu... FORMATTING. [03:42] zortec: Only when you're using both types of programs at the same time [03:42] zortec: only when you actually load a kde app [03:42] <|Zippo|> I'm using this howto: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AMD64/FirefoxAndPlugins but when I'm running firefox-32bits I;'m getting Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "gail": /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/modules/libgail.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64 [03:42] whitt: Wow, that is a very consice little file! [03:42] I need to delete the files from flashplugin-nonfree and remove them from firefox [03:43] Fohn: i did just enable the proprietary driver, should I reboot then paste again? [03:43] dennister: some big Ubuntu developers mtg happening in Barcelona right now [03:43] Fohn: i had it enabled, then disabled it earlier [03:43] What about fonts? There is liberation fonts and the microsoft fonts, but what looks great on an lcd? Since I use gnome, I think the fonts render nicely [03:43] zortec: i <3 helvetica [03:44] Anything designed to be "Sans-Serif" should be good. [03:44] dennister: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UDSKarmic [03:44] Sans is latin based and means without. [03:45] So without Serif, which you can see as shading done to make the pixelation look straight. [03:45] Without shading. [03:46] whitt: Try it out now, inserting the resolution where it says: http://pastebin.com/m2e6ccb9f === _NetEcho is now known as NetEcho [03:47] whitt: BE SURE TO BACK UP YOUR XORG.CONF === charlie is now known as Guest73923 [03:47] losher: ahhhhh so that's where a lotta the experts are...but genii's here in toronto, i'm sure === zecky is now known as andre [03:48] hey [03:48] Does anyone know what the red line is in Xchat? It shows up under a message when I leave the window [03:48] is it possibly if I have a box with ubuntu configured already [03:48] The fonts designed to not need shading should present as very sharp and clear, unless you go with one of those useless and funky fonts nobody but you will like-- even if it is sans-serif. [03:48] gotta get back to the presentation...cya later [03:48] to add a second drive and turn the current drive and the second drive into a raid setup? [03:49] anyone here use crunchbang linux? [03:49] ... thedocta, this is #ubuntu [03:49] thedocta, I've never heard of it. What is it? [03:49] never heard of it. good luck getting any help with it. [03:49] its a lightweight version of ubuntu [03:49] zortec: It is used to keep track of where you stopped reading, so that when you restore the Xchat window, you can continue reading where you left off. [03:49] Fohn: would I put it like this: "1920x1080" [03:50] whitt: Precisely [03:50] Fohn: with quotes too, or delete those? [03:50] Pranka: It's just to let you know where you're at [03:50] whitt: No, keep quotes.

Apparently we don't support it here [03:51] Fohn: ok, done, so reboot and keep fingers crossed? [03:51] zortec: In more simple terms, yes. [03:51] yeah its not so good seeing as it wont take any wep key i give it [03:51] I play a lot of WoW, is it best to use Wine or is there an actual linux client to install? [03:51] I work at a video game store, so WoW is a big thing... Sorry to all the anti-WoW fans [03:51] whitt: Seems like the best option. If that doesn't work for whatever reason, I will be stumped. Not that it takes much to stump me :D. [03:51] WoW runs really nice on Ubuntu, just copy the Windows WoW folder over. [03:52] It is a pain trying to install directly into Ubuntu. [03:52] thedocta: apparently there is #crunchbang [03:52] zortec: no WoW in linux [03:52] Fohn: i will give it a shot, and hopefully let you know, Thanks! [03:52] just stick to windows [03:52] SmithKurosaki: No WoW? [03:52] There are a few other things you have to configure in wine and ubuntu, just google it. [03:53] * Fohn hopes he didn't kill whitt's computer [03:53] Install in winblows, then copy that gigantic folder over to your ubuntu/wine setup. === sgallinger is now known as EvIL [03:53] most high graphics games are unplayable in linux due to lack of video card interaction [03:53] i cant even play trackmania in wine [03:53] I thought WoW was fully supported... === EvIL is now known as Guest52103 [03:53] SmithKurosaki: wine has actually come a long way [03:53] (not wow person) but i havent heard anyone say either way === Guest52103 is now known as aasface [03:54] I don't play WoW. I cannot help you get the ultimate sword of electric wizardry boots [03:54] ive got crossover, and it still doesnt work right with steam or any of those games [03:54] http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iAppId=1922 [03:54] ZeroBeholder: I already have WoW installed on Windows and ubuntu mounted the ntfs drive so I can access the files [03:54] <|Zippo|> I'm using this howto to run firefox32bits on jaunty 64bits: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AMD64/FirefoxAndPlugins but when I'm running firefox-32bits I;'m getting Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "gail": /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/modules/libgail.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64 [03:54] We had it running on a Dell XPS, my little brother loved it. He said it seemed to run faster under ubuntu/wine... [03:55] hey, those raid documents tell you how to start from scratch with a raid environment, but is it possible to add in a drive and make a raid setup... I have one terabyte drive, and I have another TB drive I want to install, and I want to make it a raid setup without having to reinstall ubuntu? [03:55] That was until his grub loader got all screwed up. [03:55] yes ,me too,My Wow can't running,too [03:55] I noticed that about ubuntu... my download speed is 150-200k faster than windows [03:55] zortec: see also www.cedega.com but it costs money [03:55] losher: I've looked into cedega, crossover, and wine. I heard that wine was the way to go [03:56] crossover supports wine, cedega does not [03:56] losher: The rest are basically just emulators of wine [03:56] I would recommend just using a windows partition. It's neat and fast. [03:56] |Zippo|: in my exp, running 32 bit on 64 bit os doesnt work, ive been sticking to 32bit because of it === aasface is now known as forkoff [03:56] *codeweavers [03:56] but I used it,My wow can't run [03:56] ming: You've tried to run WoW?

Good old Wine (Wine is not an emulator), everyone's favorite way to run Windows apps on Linux, can do the job. [03:57] It is, however, not easy to do. That's a big reason why Wine's commercial supporter, CodeWeavers, can make a living from selling the cleaned-up version of Wine, CrossOver Office [03:58] I hate when they say it's not easy to do...

It looks like bastid_raZor is helping you though so let me know if you want more help from me. [04:01] Wonder if the person is still here? Anyway https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft [04:02] hansolo669: winehq.com is your friend :) [04:02] hi, anybody know the command to see all installed packages? [04:02] I wish they'd hurry up with google chrome for linux >.> [04:02] slimjimflim: just check out synaptic [04:02] SmithKurosaki: i'm using ssh, i can't [04:02] Alex_, There is an official alpha version out. And there is an un-official port [04:02] slimjimflim: apt-cache pkgnames [04:03] ty [04:03] ed_debian: Where??

[04:03] Alex_: running it now :D [04:03] cabrey: Thanks! I've been secretly wondering that too [04:03] lol [04:03] slimjimflim: or you can login with -XC as options and then a lot of the programs can display for you remotelt [04:03] hang on I'll see what I can find [04:03] its in a ppa [04:03] cabrey: Apparently I'm retarded.. where did you find it?? [04:03] (it's called chromium) [04:03] i dont know if syn is one of those or not tho [04:03] cabrey--meh alredy saw that says it works but the fram rats are like 5 or somthing on all my boxes so really is there a way to increas gfx card interaction in wine/ubuntu [04:03] do you want the source.list line?

It's playing but there is no audio === charlie is now known as Guest14657 [04:04] and why is it I cant use compiz settings [04:05] zortec, Ok you add a volume applet thingy to your gnome-panel [04:05] zortec: i know this will sound stupid, but ive done tech for some real idiots. do you have volume up/are your speakers on/up/[plugged in [04:05] ed_debian: I see a volume applet [04:05] SmithKurosaki: Check on both of those [04:05] SmithKurosaki: Volume is almost max in the applet === Guest14657 is now known as alninla [04:06] anyone know how to install the awn extra applets on jaunty? [04:06] hi, looking for assistance with VPNC and mounting a network drive locally, anyone? === kbrosnan_ is now known as kbrosnan [04:06] zortec, right click it, hit preferences [04:06] zortec: go to volume control and make sure line out is maxed [04:06] a good ass who wants to fuck [04:06] hiiiiiiiii [04:07] Ok, I have sound but the audio is really low and I have it turned up to max [04:07] Hi, I am using Ubuntu 9.04 I have a problem with a program that i am using via WINE, the program needs constant internet connection but when the program runs it loses the connection for 5 seconds then gains it for 5 seconds and so on and so forth, i think perhaps it is the firewall, how do i fix this problem [04:08] antonio__: wrong room, this is real-time computer support... [04:08] zortec, double click the applet, then go to edit -> preferences and add all of the volume controls and then mess with them to figure out which one is too low [04:08] jajajaja ok my friend [04:08] !ohmy | antonio__ [04:08] antonio__: Please remember that all Ubuntu IRC channels share the same attitude of providing friendly and polite interaction with all users of all ages and cultures. Basically, this means no foul language and no abuse towards others. [04:08] VPNC assist.. anyone? [04:08] jajaja oky doky, i'm sorry [04:08] A new ubuntu server 8.04 stop booting from raid1 with message "Freeing initrd memori: ..." what's wrong? [04:09] RORgasm, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AvantWindowNavigator [04:09] ed_debian: The master is all the way up and I can barely hear the song. Should I use another driver? [04:09] zortec, yeah try that... System Preferences Sound [04:09] who can to say me, how i can to run a p2p over ubuntu? [04:10] ?¿???????? [04:10] Quick question for you guys... I'd like to append 3 letters to the beginning of every filename in a folder... what would be the fastest way to do that? [04:10] zortec, You need to add those sliders because one of them might be really low. For me I have to have master up and I have to have one called PCM up before I get any sound. [04:10] It is using hda nvidia alsa mixer [04:10] zortec, If I had master up and PCM almost at 0 I'd have the same experience as you (really quiet audio) [04:10] ed_debian I added all of them and they are max... but volume is really low [04:11] SexyMarty: try checking out add/rem for mass file renamers [04:11] Hey guys is there a dpkg syntax that is used to remove an app from the system and also uninstalls any dependencies that are not needed by other apps that were installed with it? [04:11] zortec, O ok, I wanted to make sure [04:11] SexyMarty: There is a batch file renamer - yet I forget the name [04:11] SexyMarty: "rename 's/^/abc/' *" [04:11] zortec is your app at max volume [04:11] antonio, hablas espanol? [04:11] Hi, I am using Ubuntu 9.04 I have a problem with a program that i am using via WINE, the program needs constant internet connection but when the program runs it loses the connection for 5 seconds then gains it for 5 seconds and so on and so forth, i think perhaps it is the firewall, how do i fix this problem [04:11] zortec, Try a different driver yes [04:11] linuxguy2009, apt-get remove --purge packagename [04:11] awesome thank you guys [04:11] SexyMarty: you might add "-n" to that command to see what it would do first [04:11] thank you! [04:11] Hi everyone. I just downloaded the ubuntu iso to my windows box. I want to get ubuntu installed on another box that already has windows(a dual booting system). Should I burn to a CD? What then? [04:11] zortec, You have an nvidia sound card? I didn't know they even made those [04:12] ed_debian It's part of the nvidia graphics chipset/built in audio [04:12] linuxguy2009: no, --purge is something different [04:12] wongon: burn image of cd then boot off of it [04:12] wongon: yes, burn to cd [04:12] wongon, You're in for soooo much fun!!! You need to get a program that burns ISO images. [04:12] wongon, yes, burn a "live cd".. boot it up on the other computer [04:12] linuxguy2009: use aptitude [04:12] ed_debian: I can tell the difference in linux, my audio is not anywhere what I had in Windows [04:12] oh [04:12] linuxguy2009: you'd want to run "apt-get autoremove" or use "aptitude remove" instead (as aptitude cleans up automatically, not needing a separate autoremove) [04:12] zortec, Yeah, it sounds like it is obviously too low [04:13] zortec, I'm out of ideas but maybe there is something here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting [04:13] wongon: you can also use a usb to boot from to keep from needing the burner [04:13] linuxguy2009, you could also use synaptic and select the packagename with complete removal [04:13] wongon: deepbutner is a good and easy to use free image burner for win [04:13] linuxguy2009: purge means to remove the conffiles of a package as well as the other files [04:13] bastidrazor: no, that's also purging, which isn't what he's asking for [04:13] wongon: sorry I meant deepburner [04:13] running intrepid, when I try to start apache I see the following: Jun 1 22:07:15 fish kernel: [6771919.583985] apache2[18498]: segfault at b190d9d6 ip b7d39964 sp bf8068b0 error 4 in libc-2.8.90.so[b7cc7000+13d000] My box has been up for almost 80 days... I haven't changed anything. Thoughts on wtf could be going on? [04:13] antonio__: Recomiendo que visites canal #ubuntu-es para recibir ayuda en espanol. [04:13] If I turn the Surround sound up, it gets louder [04:13] hey, can anyone help me connect to a windows network drive at work from my home computer running ubuntu and vpnc? [04:13] zortec, is it loud enough? [04:14] Oh ok so synaptic and complete removal will remove a package along with all un-needed deps? Correct? So i wouldnt have to manually select the deps that are no longer needed by hand that way? [04:14] I like the idea of putting it on a usb drive, then booting off that [04:14] linuxguy2009: incorrect [04:14] google video "the obama deception" [04:14] Beatlesfan: have you vpn'd in? [04:14] ah [04:14] for all you thinkers out there. (sorry bout the spam) [04:14] anom01y gtfo [04:14] cabrey: yes, I can successfully connect vpnc to the gateway [04:14] linuxguy2009: "complete removal" is the same as apt-get remove --purge [04:14] linuxguy2009: (which isn't what you are asking for) [04:15] anyone know how to be op? [04:15] GL/GLew.h: No such file or directory [04:15] wongon, Ok, you need a 2GB + usb drive and it is more difficult to install to a usb drive than to burn the cd but I will help you if you want [04:15] that worked, stew... thanks. As a follow up question would you know how I could remove those same three letters from the end of the file. Basically I'm trying to take "VBR" from the end of every file and put it at the beginning.. but there are hundreds so doing it manually would be pretty time consuming [04:15] anyone know what package i can get GLew headers in? [04:15] Beatlesfan: and you have all the server, share, etc info? [04:15] cabrey: yeah [04:15] Ok so is it possible to do something like I am hoping to do then? [04:15] Hey, I'm trying to install Unbuntu on a system that can't boot from a cd. I had installed Debian under similar circumstances by putting a boot loader, installer, and iso on a usb drive. Can someone direct me to the vmlinuz, and initrd.gz files compatible with ubuntu-9.04-desktop-amd64.iso ? [04:15] apt-get remove purge is the way to go? [04:15] linuxguy2009: no [04:15] Beatlesfan: Places > Connect to Server... > Service Type > Windows Share [04:15] ok [04:16] cabrey, hang on.. need to connect VPNC first.. [04:16] linuxguy2009: i already told you, either "apt-get remove packagename && apt-get autoremove" or "aptitude remove packagename" [04:16] cabrey: brb [04:16] SmithKurosaki: this channel is controlled by the people @ canonical and the ubuntu support team - good luck getting op priv [04:16] linuxguy2009: purging is something diffrernt, read the manpage [04:16] watch_wait_plot, just use unetbootin, it makes creating bootable usbs easy [04:16] how do I install opera with the package manager? now way? [04:16] what is epiphany? [04:16] watch_wait_plot: check out ubuntu forums [04:16] !epiphany [04:16] Sorry, I don't know anything about epiphany [04:16] apt-get is deprecated, use aptitude [04:16] pemberdayaan [04:16] !aptitude [04:17] aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. Like other APT front-ends, it can install/remove packages and their dependencies (on Dapper and earlier, however, only aptitude keeps track of unused dependencies). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptitudeSurvivalGuide [04:17] fccf: ahh, #fedora you can hop on as root for a minute to kick people as needed [04:17] Looks like I got to go with the cd path, as my USB is only 1G [04:17] SexyMarty: "rename 's/abc$//' *" would remvoe from the end. you could do both operations in one command with "rename 's/(.*)abc/abc$1/' *", but I'd test that with -n first [04:17] cabrey: so untrue .. aptitude uses apt-get [04:17] fccf: aptitude doesn't use apt-get [04:17] fccf: they both use libapt [04:17] stew: Thanks a ton [04:17] SexyMarty: you're welcome [04:17] how could I check the resolution of an mpeg file? [04:18] fccf: debian has officially recommended aptitude over apt-get [04:18] Ok so if Im sitting here testing oyt software in the repos and it installs 20 packages and i decide i dont want to keep the app installed.aptitude remove xxxxxx, and all 20 packages will be gone as long as nothing else needs them? [04:18] wongon did you see my personal message? [04:18] linuxguy2009: yes [04:18] sweet that answers it thanks! [04:18] SmithKurosaki: The ubuntu bots take care of the spammers flooders and cussers if they persist [04:18] linuxguy2009: correct [04:19] btw, is anyone here a Tron movie fan? I wrote a screenplay for Tron 2.0 which I never heard back about [04:19] K thanks all very much! [04:19] cabrey: and ubuntu ships with add/remove - personally I use synaptic [04:19] fccf: ahh, cool [04:19] I need to know where the place to place some code to adjust my wlan0 settings. I want it to be done during boot up. DO I do this in /etc/rc.local? [04:19] I ran into a problem with the minimum wagers at work. They swapped a hard drive from a perfectly good Ubuntu system into something negligibly better. Then they complained about no sound. Is there an easy way to just update the device drivers? [04:20] fccf: i know, i prefer CLI more efficient :) [04:20] bitchx [04:20] ZeroBeholder, when linux boots it automatically detects your hardware and finds appropriate drivers. You need to troubleshoot your sound [04:20] Detrix: typically yes, /etc/rc.local would be a good place for it... [04:20] Fohn: it did not work [04:20] all i got was a black screen with jibberish at boot [04:21] losher: I did not know if that was too early in the boot process... [04:21] cabrey so you use apt-get because it is true CLI - where as aptitude has it's own interface [04:22] Detrix: typically /etc/rc.local is run last after all other startup scripts [04:22] aptitude is independent of apt-get [04:22] My employers like the pretty GUI .. but it makes me look good when I always have a terminal up [04:22] lol [04:22] is there any IRC channel on xfree86 [04:22] losher: thanx [04:22] both depend on libapt [04:22] I just tried the aptitude remove vlc to test it and it only removes the one single package.All the 45 other packages are still there. [04:23] ok so both are an interface to a library [04:23] Built in, we have a stack of boards and one of them should have been 100% functional. But, they all lose sound. (Yeah, I know, why exactly do you 'need' fiber optic sound at work? There is a reason they pull $12,000 a year or so. [04:23] Um... can anyone help me with using emerald? lol [04:23] how good is ubuntu 8.04.2 for a server? [04:23] whitt: It's not a monitor issue then if you still had boot. Sorry I couldn't help! [04:23] test at boot* [04:23] Wikkedfin: depends on what you use it for [04:23] text*** [04:24] Wikkedfin: a great choice. 8.04.2 server is rock solid & supported for 5 years [04:24] IRCD's? [04:24] Wikkedfin: My server runs 8.04.2 I am very happy with it [04:24] Fohn: it never let me get to the log in screen. it went through the little ubuntu screen and before the gdm manager showed it went all ugly [04:24] Wikkedfin: if i had to choose an alternative, it would be Centos [04:24] Wikkedfin: it will run a IRCdeamon no problem [04:24] The difference between the Acer Aspire X1200 and the X1700 is the on-board sound. It might just be that the device is unsupported. [04:24] Fohn: would installing the ATI drivers from their website be any different? [04:25] my server is old and slow.. AMD Duron 900mhz 311MB mem 10GB hdd [04:25] whitt: That is rather odd, but still similar to my problem. Regarding the drivers, I think not. [04:25] Wikkedfin: Holy tiny harddrive batman. [04:25] lol [04:26] Wikkedfin: I would have 5 years of linux under your belt before attempting to install a ircd server on a Centos system, but something more lightweight for that system might be wise === Kipas_Angin is now known as myphnix [04:26] The only other solution I can think of is to once again edit the xorg.conf and manually insert your horizsync and vertrefresh rates from your monitor. 'man xorg.conf' can tell you how to do that. [04:26] hhh i was just about to ask what would be considered a decent sized partition for ubuntu [04:26] ZeroBeholder: i was using a 4gb for 11 years, i just retired it last month [04:26] i do have a faster server... dual core 3.2Ghz 3GB ddr2 ram 500GB hdd [04:26] 8.04 Server is good,i'm using [04:26] Otherwise, I have to go. It is 10:30 and I haven't even started my homework. :D. Good Luck! [04:26] Guthur: 10gb - 20gb [04:27] fccf: is ubuntu so much easier than centos to install ircd on? Why is that? [04:27] SmithKurosaki i can easily fit that, thanks [04:27] To be honest, I have no idea what version the Ubuntu server is. I just use it as a sandbox and I never 'need' to turn it off. It has never locked up. I only turn it off when I'm not using it for anything. [04:28] So for what it's worth, five stars from me. [04:28] Guthur: id go with 25-30gb if you plan on having /home on the same partition though [04:28] losher centos was designed for the server farm - ubuntu was designed for the user [04:28] C1.7 and 256MB memory 40G IDE disk [04:29] ZeroBeholder: cat /etc/lsb-release [04:29] will give you the version [04:29] fccf: interesting, that difference never occurred to me... [04:29] SmithKurosaki ya i was thinking of maybe going for around 40gb, i will need a few things along side, i'm just trying it out for the first time === jay is now known as Guest621 [04:30] Oh, I don't need to know. I was saying I didn't know. It [04:30] is off now so I can't SSH. [04:30] Hello to all, Im searching for some program can make a DataBase manager like Acces for linux, some recomendation ? === mackmgg|away is now known as mackmgg [04:31] MySQL with PHPadmin should take care of you [04:31] Well, it's not the same but it is similar and slightly more difficult. [04:32] Guthur: good luck [04:32] pls advise the perms set on a 9.04 box; file:///etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/scim-bridge ??? Mine is word-writable, which I did not do, as am just setting the thing up. [04:32] ZeroBeholder, what im looking for its something ease to build an web front end for a database, just like access but for linux, and if I can avoid programing languaje will be perfect for me [04:32] Lukas___: OpenOffice.org is a good bet for a front end depending on what you are storing [04:33] Lukas__: OpenOffice.org Base? [04:33] Good call fccf, didn't even think of that. [04:33] just wondering if any one here (having a realtec 8187b wifi) is having any difficulty with it??? [04:33] Lukas__: Xataface [04:34] does ubuntu do its own format of a partition during install [04:34] cabrey: openoffice I think is very inmature for really work [04:34] I was having problems with range. [04:34] Detrix, sometimes on their website there are several drivers on one page. Are you sure you got the 8187b driver and not the 8187l? [04:34] Wikkedfin: maybe you asked the wrong question. Perhaps you should have asked 'which distro is good for a small, slow server'? [04:34] *8187L* [04:35] i have some problem with my ubuntu at asus a6r, i was searching at search engine for my trouble, my trouble at a sound..i found some tutorial for fix that, but not work for me, i was try..please help me === putri_cantik is now known as araya [04:35] Lukas___: MonoDevelop with database plugin?

I have solved my problem. was just wondering if I can be of help to others [04:36] I dont want to program, Im trying to avoid PhP, besides I know could be the best solution [04:36] What do I need to do to setup email alerts if my backup hasn't been updated in x amount of days?

[04:37] Robbie_Crash, you will need to setup a mail server, exim or sendmail, you dont have to actually "set it up" it can use your gmail or any other smtp-enabled account to relay the messages [04:38] Detrix: you are welcome to speak up if you know the answer to a question - or if you would like to write a HOWTO that is always welcome on the forums or wiki [04:38] usser, thanks. I'll be back when I bung that up to find out how to fix it. [04:38] oi orang sebangsa dan setanah air..mau tanya nih..hikz [04:38] Thanks to all, I think Xataface or DaBaDik could work!

In 8.10 , is there a way to change the actual transparency of all windows ? it appears my title bars are semi transparent at the moment, but i would like to adjust them a bit more. Interestingly enough, i have compiz effects disabled, and thats kinda how i wanna keep it if possible [05:09] should i run compiz? [05:09] is that what your'e saying? [05:10] or do i need to find drivers [05:10] deathtech: you just want to increase transparency of the window bar? [05:11] hello is anyone available to answer a question? [05:11] yes [05:11] hello there, i guess I'll go after Fallen00sniper [05:11] cabrey, if possible without having to re-enable compiz, and not just that, im sure with ubuntu's ability i should be able to play around with quite a few of those options, but essentially , at the moment, yes. [05:11] do you have conky installed? [05:12] i finally got my kubuntu 9.04 stable and running ati proprietary drivers with all 3d working and i wanted to install conky [05:12] user010: you will like compiz - but don't install it yet first you need to read the whole thread - the answers are there [05:12] fallen, are you asking because of the lifehacker post today? [05:12] cause im here for the same thing [05:12] :) [05:13] cabrey: this box isnt the most powerful, but its a rather nice small machine, so i wanna keep process usage low, but oticed if i use solid colors when customizing it already has a transparent type effect [05:13] deathtech: Ubuntu Tweak (http://ubuntu-tweak.com/) has options to mess with transparency for the border of windows [05:13] no i downloaded conky yesterday [05:13] ahh ok [05:13] what lifehacker post?

I've been looking around for the fix and there seems to be a driver or something I'm missing? Any help would be MUCH appreciated! [05:15] deathtech: my bad, that requires a compositing window manager [05:15] sorry having issues, still getting used to nix instead of windows [05:15] I want to put http://lifehacker.com/5272400/the-colorful-conky-desktop for my wife and then have an OSX theme for myself. Is that possible?

[05:17] b14ck: also, aptitude search xsl | grep php [05:17] slash621, I have the 865G chipset, I ordered a new graphics card coming in a few days [05:18] is it true that the default ubuntu initrd/kernel does not include RAID support? I used the alternative CD to install ubuntu on a new software RAID, but I can't boot the system [05:18] he has the macbook pro 17" - but I support them so I may be able to help [05:18] Beatlesfan : ive got a laptop.. no real choice for me.

[05:19] cabrey, How would i modify Metacity's properties directly ? it seems the "Appearance" panel is a bit lacking :( [05:19] zeeble: 865G graphics - intel onboard graphics [05:19] Beatlesfan: I found a forum post for "intel" chips including the 855GM, but whne I follow the directions I get unstable about once every 2 hours and totally lock up [05:19] fccf: is linux ran on your bosses macbook pro? [05:20] i suppose its possible that my ram is bad or something, but this laptop has run without problems in windows XP for years [05:20] well thanks for the help bye now [05:20] Beatlesfan: ah. i have the 965M. and compiz/desktop effects dont work because of a bug in the xorg graphics driver for intel. apparently, it causes lockups and freezes when used for a while [05:20] but after I installed those packages I lock up every once in a while, and I cant even get the terminal or CTL F1 [05:20] zeeble: yeah thats what im getting [05:20] Slash621: are you trying to run enhanced desktop or is this a problem with the regular desktop? [05:20] what takes the least resources possible for playing 720p on a very slow machine? [05:20] Beatlesfan: how can I tell? [05:20] well, not very slow.. but slow [05:20] Beatlesfan: so, you will be unable to use compiz, till a patch is released [05:21] Slash621: there's workarounds to make it work, but they are not recommended. [05:21] zeeble: how long does it take for patches for things like old intel chipset drivers to come out? [05:21] zeeble: till the actual driver issue is sorted by xorg devs [05:21] deathtech: you have to have a compositing window manager to adjust transparency [05:21] Slash621: no idea. xorg hasnt released a patch, as of yet. [05:21] we talking like years or months? [05:21] Slash621: go into system/preferences/appearance/enhancement [05:21] in short, enable compiz or use metacity's compositing mode [05:22] Slash621: i tried the kludge and it worked, but then i reverted back to no effects [05:22] slash621 sorry, visual effects [05:22] ahh ok [05:22] my visual efffects are on [05:22] dman777: yes and a couple of friends macbooks [05:22] they are on the middle settings right now. [05:22] Slash621: to enable, you edit /usr/bin/compiz and comment out the lines related to your card which says "blacklist" .. 2 lines for my card, and then enable effects. they work fine [05:22] slash621, turn them off and see if the quality improves [05:23] zeeble, which file? [05:23] fccf: since the tackpad is so big, does it ever get in the way of typeing? [05:23] zeeble, hang on, I'll find the post I was referring to [05:23] Erynn: type sudo iwlist scan ... into terminal [05:23] how can i determine whether or not an Intel GMA x4500 I'm considering buying is currently supported? [05:24] http://paste.ubuntu.com/186246/ [05:24] zeebie : beatlesfan: thats the instructions i followed [05:24] it worked great speedwise, but i get a freeze every 1-2 hours that is a hard freeze [05:24] dman777: He hasn't complained - I think he disables the trackpad when typing [05:24] i utilized the "safe" option in the guide [05:24] I was trying to use my laptop on the tv and running ubuntu 8.4 [05:24] zeeble, you mean remove the comment mark? [05:25] Beatlesfan: /usr/bin/compiz .. there's a section in it called "blacklist" .. which has my chipset 965M blacklisted. i meant comment out the blacklist lines for 965M [05:25] but I couldn't get the split or get it to show up on the tv [05:25] Hey guys! Can I install ubuntu-dektop form the installation CD? [05:25] fccf: http://paste.ubuntu.com/186248/ [05:25] ahh ok [05:25] fccf: is that a burden to disable it when doing typing? [05:25] Hello [05:25] Beatlesfan: once you comment out the lines, you can enable compiz, etc. but. there's no saying when your GUI will lock up.

[05:26] maybe i go follow those instructions again with my visual effects to "off" [05:26] dman777: I wouldn't know - he is a paster and writes alot.. he also uses a bluetooth mouse [05:26] and i might not get the locking up [05:26] Slash621: and actually, my xorg.conf os blank. there's no data in it. xorg works fine [05:26] Can somebody tell me if there is a way to use the crt/lcd function [05:27] i'm using karmic though..

[05:50] it says [05:50] import error [05:50] install vlc [05:50] myself : you can try vlc :) [05:50] the stream is encryped [05:50] !caps | myself [05:50] can i not play them in rhythmbox? [05:50] myself: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [05:50] dan_: what you on about? [05:50] dan_ I'd try a different gui to gnome [05:50] wongon: 10gigs is a good start ... are you running wubi.exe? [05:50] if i install VLC, will i be able to play dem in rhythmbox? [05:50] !attitude | myself [05:50] myself: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [05:51] myself::: [05:51] Erynn: Did you upgrade from 8.10? [05:51] tiyowan: yes [05:51] myself: get the right codecs [05:51] myself::: no, you will be able to play them in vlc [05:51] no, not familar with wubi.exe [05:51] wongon, Did you see my personal message? [05:51] <{CaSpEr}> hello [05:51] where do i get the codecs smithkurosaki [05:51] Erynn: Let me guess - it was working fine in 8.10? [05:51] tiyowan: Yep... ^__^; [05:52] myself: ubuntu restricted extras - look in add/rem [05:52] i have them installed smith [05:52] Erynn: Okay. Can you connect to an unsecured wifi network right now? [05:52] tiyowan: Still no sound [05:52] ubuntu-restricted-extras is already the newest version. [05:53] and i have gstreamer stuff installed [05:53] myself, maybe you can convert the wma files to mp3 [05:53] are there easy performance tweaks for ubuntu? [05:53] actually, I'm using an ssd, does ubuntu require any special tweaks to make it work better? [05:53] I've tweaked windoze xp for very good performance with the ssd [05:53] zortec: go to a terminal and type alsamixer, check whether the values are maximized. [05:53] no dan i dont want to convert them, i want to play them [05:53] myself: checked ur sources, updated, uggraded? [05:53] fccf: what is it about the macbook keyboards that your do not like? [05:53] rikki_max i have like the latest thing [05:53] !medibuntu > myself [05:53] myself, please see my private message [05:53] tiyowan: it was letting me earlier, but I'm using Wicd now instead of Network Manager and it gives me an "encryption required" error. [05:54] myself: if you want them in rhythmbox, you need to convert them [05:54] why cant i just play wma in rhythmbox [05:54] Erynn: Okay...and Wicd is giving you this error even when you're trying to connect to an open network? [05:54] tiyowan: They are up and no sound [05:54] myself: legal reasons. [05:55] wongon: are you installing from windows xp - running the autorun from the disk - if so that is wubi.exe - it is not an application, and technically will make ubuntu run slower - my reccommendation - not reccommended [05:55] there's no way to do it at all in rhythmbox [05:55] zortec: Okay, hang on. [05:55] dman777: square keys - space between keys - I grew up on a pc [05:55] tiyowan: It gives me the error when I try to connect to anything besides my default (which lags on authentication) or the wired connection I'm on now. [05:55] fccf, wongon: wubi adds only a small overhead, you likely won't notice any speed differences. [05:55] myself : check this url : http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=2444603&postcount=2 [05:56] it might work [05:56] Erynn: But it does connect? [05:56] myself, gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly may be the package you need [05:56] Erynn: Your default wifi network? [05:56] any good pro-audio apps for ubuntu? [05:56] <{CaSpEr}> people plz help me howe in mirc change code in UTF-8 ? [05:56] for multitrack recording [05:56] dan_ audacious, or audacity [05:56] dan_: how about audacity? [05:56] gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly is already the newest version. [05:57] tiyowan: It acknowledges the router being in existence, but doesn't connect to the internet.

[05:57] so i guess i cant use Rhythmbox for WMA at all [05:57] myself : i'll check myself [05:57] myself: have you tried Amarok? [05:57] I don't want to use amarok [05:57] it wont read music off my mounted drive [05:57] ive installed it a few times and had that problem [05:58] * SmithKurosaki facepalms [05:58] myself: add your mounted drive to fstab and it will [05:58] maybe [05:58] myself: They don't happen to be DRMed do they? [05:58] myself : I am using the latest rhythmbox off the livecd, and it works with wma flawlessly [05:58] it does [05:58] how so? [05:58] perhaps your wma files are drm'd? [05:59] do you have any other wma's to test by chance? [05:59] myself: You can't play DRM-music in linux [05:59] whats DRM [05:59] Erynn: Please pastebin the results of "lshw -C network". [05:59] dev_u_pper how come it works with u but not with me [05:59] content protection (essentially encryption) on wma's when ripped, to make sure they don't get copied to places where they don't know === chaky_ is now known as chaky [06:00] myself: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_rights_management [06:00] http://i41.tinypic.com/2mpl5hc.png [06:00] here is what it says [06:00] myself : I was testing with the wma's that came with windows -- perhaps you have some in one of windows' shared folders that are non drm'd ? [06:00] fuck drms [06:00] tiyowan: http://paste.ubuntu.com/186255/ [06:00] i dont think i can play any of my wmas [06:00] xD [06:01] but maybe the ones that came with windows possibly, but i dunno i dont really have those or care about those [06:01] SmithKurosaki: mind your language [06:01] sry, i just hate them [06:02] Erynn: That's odd. Pastebin: iwconfig [06:02] so are all my WMAs DRM even though they are compeltley different random things [06:02] is it automatically DRM or osmething [06:03] myself : you mentioned you ripped your wma's ? [06:03] anyone know why I would be able to connect via ftp from the command line, but not via ftp_login in php? I'm getting a strange 'AUTH not understood' in php [06:03] some of them are ripped [06:03] myself : what did you rip them with? [06:03] i didnt rip them [06:03] o.0 [06:03] myself : who ripped, and with what? [06:04] tiyowan: Sorry, I closed the window on accident [06:04] ripped w/ nero [06:04] they were ripped with nero [06:04] anyone know of a good *nix diff program that has a gui [06:04] they were all protected i guess [06:04] idea for myself - batch process into ogg w/o drm [06:05] myself : I'm uploading a sample wma [06:05] you can use it to test [06:05] tiyowan: http://paste.ubuntu.com/186257/ [06:05] I've changed my port to 25250 on my vsftpd but I still can't connect to it...what's the next step to troubleshoot this? [06:05] schnootop: meld is a nice GUI diff viewer [06:05] I'm downloading the drivers from ALSA and compiling/installing [06:05] zortec_: That's all right. Okay can you please do this: type lspci -nn, and pastebin the results.

[06:09] How does pastebin work exactly? [06:09] <_nix_> devslash: perhaps your CD has errors [06:09] maybe [06:10] Are you flirting devslash lol?

Dual monitor setup, xorg.conf seems to be written correctly fur dual-card dual-monitor I get 2 desktops, complete with two sets of gnome panels, but when I try to open a program on the second monitor, the program window opens on the primary monitor instead of secondary like it should. [06:11] NoTownKasper that I believe has to do with your window manager (either metacity or compiz probably) [06:12] ed_debian: compiz, with emerald as a decorator...any idea where I might poke around to see what's goofed up? [06:12] myself: I can play that file in windows media player - and there are no licence restrictions [06:12] dev_u_pper it works fine, i guess it wasnt working with the other stuff cuse of DRM [06:13] NoTownKasper, Compiz Settings Config or whatever it's named [06:13] yeah that song works fine on linux [06:13] tiyowan: Okay I did: http://paste.ubuntu.com/186262/ [06:13] test [06:13] ed_debian: I've just been through the compiz settings manager a moment ago...didn't see anything that looked like an apropriate setting... [06:13] <_nix_> histo: I saw that [06:13] myself : excellent :) [06:13] yeah that sfine, but i guess these files i have are DRM? [06:14] that i cant play [06:14] hehe [06:14] how does DRM work? [06:14] Erynn: sudo ifconfig eth1 up, sudo iwconfig eth1 essid "cooperave" [06:14] myself : You may wish to look into a solution on removing the drm within windows [06:14] i see [06:14] well its stuff that i dont really listen to anyway, i was just interested in getting it to work maybe [06:14] thanks anyway : [06:14] :) === lipsin_ is now known as lipsin [06:14] myself if you batch convert using audacity for windows you should be able to remove drm [06:14] i seee [06:15] hello everyone. is there a quick way i can renew ip address. it dhcp connected to a linksys router w/tomato installed. thanks! :) [06:15] as a general suggestion, always rip with mp3 or other opensoure standards, without drm - it helps things work flawlessly :) [06:15] tiyowan: Any ideas? [06:15] just a question [06:15] NoTownKasper, yeah I am looking through it was well. I know though that it is the job of the window manager to decide where / how big a window is drawn when first opened (usually same place / size as it was when closed last) [06:15] fccf is it legal to remove DRM? [06:15] if you own the music [06:15] I am out of time folks - see yall nexttime [06:15] i dont care, i mjust wondering [06:15] hackers...we'll be free... hackers... [06:15] myself : some countries make it illegal, yes [06:15] myself: I think you can get away with it [06:15] is it illegal in the USA?

[06:16] myself as apple is dropping drm from itunes - yes [06:16] okay, I just installed an intel 4965 wifi. lspci picks it up, seems to be working, but it can't scan anything.... [06:16] NoTownKasper, I can't seem to find it either sorry :( [06:16] anyone know what to do? [06:16] ed_debian: Well, yeah, but I have mine specifically to function as two seperate X sessions. One per monitor, because I'm using two gfx cards, one per monitor. [06:16] they are dropping it ? what does that mean [06:16] does ubuntu offer source code for the packages that everyone installs? I need source code of official :) [06:17] Dev_u_pper: apt-get source [06:17] okay all... seems I fixed my problem... had to rebuild my initrd with the "raid1" module [06:17] tiyowan: Okay, I did those and then tried connecting again...same problem. :/ [06:17] ip address renewal in dhcp. is there such a thing? with a few mouse clicks? [06:17] myself apple will nolonger have drm on any music downloaded from itunes store [06:17] Dev_u_pper: that's the ubuntu version of the code though [06:17] <_nix_> joJoba: there should be something in Network Manager [06:17] however, the default initrd does not allow booting from software raids... something that should probably be fixed? [06:17] Myrtti : yes, I need to see what ubuntu has done for their code specifically, so I can copy some values they hard-coded :) [06:18] particularily, synaptic touchpad driver... ubuntu's "just works" [06:18] Erynn: Do not try connecting using wicd. [06:18] moin [06:18] but is it illegal to remove DRM from wmas? [06:18] if you own the music [06:18] in the USA [06:18] Erynn: I'm trying to get you connect through the command-line. [06:18] myself: it is legal [06:18] myself: it's not a topic closely tied to #ubuntu and it's topic, could you move on to #ubuntu-offtopic [06:18] tiyowan: Okay. What else should I do? [06:19] myrtti we're talkin about it cause i was trying to get wma files to run in rhythmbox [06:19] and they have DRM [06:19] have you guys ever gooten : Kinit :no resue image, doing normal boot ???? [06:19] <_nix_> j #ubuntu-offtopic [06:19] myself: the legality of it isn't directly connected to this channel, and We're Not Lawyers Anyway [06:19] <_nix_> oops [06:19] InfoMoMo: Kde is looking for a resume image [06:19] InfoMoMo, Only everytime I boot [06:19] Is there an application for ubuntu that can manage dix movies? Like a movie manager, selector, HTML menu generator? [06:20] supercom32: do you mean divx? [06:20] ed_debian: oh yeah, but my dektop wont load after that, do you hae solution ? [06:20] Erynn: 1. sudo ifconfig eth1 down 2. sudo dhclient -r eth1 3. sudo ifconfig eth1 4. sudo iwconfig eth1 "cooperave" 5. sudo iwconfig eth1 key s:KEY 6. sudo iwconfig eth1 key open 7. sudo iwconfig eth1 mode Managed 8. sudo dhclient eth1. 9. ping 192.168.1.1 [06:20] fccf: yes, Divx [06:20] fccf: i am usibg gnome [06:20] Erynn: Replace KEY with your security key. [06:21] supercom32: totem will play just about anything - you need to install codecs for it to work [06:21] !codecs > supercom32 [06:21] supercom32, please see my private message [06:21] supercom32: vlc [06:21] I have no internet conenction, but i do have my ubuntu CD, can i install ubuntu-dektoppackage from it ??? [06:21] InfoMoMo, Well what linux is trying to do is find a hibernation image (the system saves its "state" (the image) and puts it in a certain place. When it is started again it first checks for this image. If it is there it uses it. If it isn't it boots normally. Seeing no resume image is totally normal behavior. Are there any other errors? [06:21] My issue - Dual graphics card, dual monitor system, set up to run as seperate X sessions. When I try to run a program from the secondary monitor, the program opens up on the primary instead of the secondary like it's supposed to...heeeeelp? :( [06:22] ed-debian: there is , it look slike i need to install ubuntu-dektop [06:22] InfoMoMo, Yes you can but I don't think we're going to need to. How can you install packages anyway if you can't boot the system? [06:22] Erynn: Pastebin what you get after you try ping 192.168.1.1 [06:22] i found the solution to my pulseaudio problems: get rid of pulseaudio [06:22] ed_debian: i can open shell [06:22] NoTownKasper: try passing command :1 for second display [06:22] Smithkurosaki: can VLC do movie covers etc? [06:22] covers? [06:23] InfoMoMo, So only the GUI won't boot. Is this all that makes you think it is the ubuntu-desktop package that is missing / broken? [06:23] supercom32 - try MythTV or Elisa [06:23] zortec: Do you see your username when you type grep 'audio' /etc/group? [06:23] ed_debian: yes friend [06:23] InfoMoMo, Did you hibernate? Is it possible that there is a corrupt / bad resume image? [06:23] tiyoman: Sound is working now, I did sudo killall pulseaudo and then sudo alsa force-reload. I changed everything to use ALSA and then turned up the slider for "Surround" [06:23] ed-debian: i would like to reinstall it [06:24] tiyowan: Sorry, I typo your name a lot. [06:24] ed_debian: i messes up last time, and ran a command that erased allkinds of stuff :( [06:24] tiyowan: I've got a problem: http://paste.ubuntu.com/186264/ [06:24] InfoMoMo, lmao ok [06:24] zortec: Excellent. :) [06:24] ed_debian: LOL , but i have my CD (desktop and alternate ) [06:24] zortec: Made within 12 days, eh? [06:25] Why does it seem that there have been almost no package updates in the last month? [06:25] Erynn, sounds like a driver issue. [06:25] ed_debian: do we know how to install packages from the CD ? [06:25] InfoMoMo, Isn't it fun when that happens? Anyway, I think that ubuntu will automatically make the CD part of the repos if you have it in the drive. Boot up to the trusty cli and simply try sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop ( you don't want KDE yes)? [06:25] tiyowan: It's been a lot of troubleshooting, but sound - check, video - check, still have to test 3D effects out [06:25] !test [06:25] sigh... again? I'm busy here, I already told you it failed. [06:25] do you know what chipset you have Erynn? [06:25] Heh. [06:25] ed_debian: i like gnome [06:25] opop: that's what I thought, but I have no idea what driver to get. How do I find my chipset? [06:25] ed_debian: ok thanks man [06:26] I'd like gnome if it didn't fizzle out on me... I had to kludge it to get it to start up properly. [06:26] It's been fun It's been real - Real Fun is a different story [06:26] * TheSHAD0W thinks it's a showstopper; likely to discourage people from switching to ubuntu [06:26] Hi there all, just trying to recover some data that has gone a bit corrupt on a drive out of a Western digital NAS drive, the partition format is ext3, The firmware in the NAS is FUBAR so I have the drive plugged into another computer with Ubuntu live running and I am able to mount the partition and look at the files but some are corrupt and I would like to run fsck on the partition first... [06:26] ...before copying the data of but fsck gives Error 2, Any thorghts? [06:26] erynn: do this: $ dmesg | grep eth1 [06:26] zortec: Making progress. Keep at it. [06:26] InfoMoMo, If you want gnome than sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [06:26] Erynn, then pastebin the results, pls [06:27] Clouse: dd an image of the disk off before playing further? [06:27] Erynn: lshw -C network will you give information about your networking hardware. [06:27] tiyowan: Next up... is there a linux app for my mp3 player which is a sandisk fuse 40GB? [06:27] InfoMoMo, np let me know how it goes [06:27] we i tried before it told me , thispackage is part of something.... [06:27] ed_debian: and it could find it [06:28] Erynn: It's strange that your wireless interface is named eth1. :/ [06:28] ed_debian: anyways i will try and be back, must boot in ubutnu, ciao [06:28] InfoMoMo, we I tried before it told me... ?What are you talking about here? [06:28] TheSHADOW will do [06:28] InfoMoMo, Ok [06:28] good luck [06:28] Erynn, plus you're probably using wpa_supplicant, which is fine, but doesn't support same iwconfig command-line [06:28] What is space to summon Gnome-Do? [06:28] fccf: I'm sorry, I was ankle deep in IM's, try what? [06:28] opop: http://paste.ubuntu.com/186266/ [06:28] tiyowan, not really that strange [06:28] I'm just full of problems here, haha. [06:29] Erynn, this line is interesting. eth1: could not initialize WEP: load module lbm_cw-lib80211_crypt_wep [06:29] zortec: Try googling for it [06:29] TheSHADOW it's just that there are four partitions on the drive and I suspect it is some sort of RAID array. [06:30] Erynn, that's what happened when you gave it the key. [06:30] <_nix_> is it possible to have "250" in the last octet of your IP address? [06:30] Erynn: I'll try googling it? [06:30] Erynn, why are you going command-line [06:30] opop: I meant to write your name there, haha [06:30] opop: tiyowan was helping me [06:30] Erynn, are you going for no gui laptop? [06:31] opop: no, I also use Wicd [06:31] Erynn, i think mebbe tiyowan was right. do an $ ifconfig -a and tell me if you see a wlan0 there [06:32] opop: I'm trying to get him connected via command-line to rule out any problems with wicd. [06:32] My issue - Dual graphics card, dual monitor system, set up to run as seperate X sessions. When I try to run a program from the secondary monitor, the program opens up on the primary instead of the secondary like it's supposed to...heeeeelp? :( [06:32] tiyowan, noice. so you got this [06:32] opop: I don't! That IS weird actually because I think I used to have that... [06:32] tiyowan: You're trying to get *her* connected :3 [06:32] Erynn, lyle. mebbe the module isn't loading. [06:33] Erynn: Oh - sorry. :) [06:33] Erynn, now the stakes are higher. [06:33] hehe [06:33] jk [06:33] Haha :P [06:33] If anyone wants to know what space, it is the windows key + space and I changed the key binding in the keyboard tab. [06:34] Erynn, pastebin $ lspci -vv and $ lsusb -vv [06:34] Erynn: Let's what driver it's using...pastebin: lsmod [06:34] and that [06:35] tiyowan, did we already ask the obvious "is there a mechanical switch on the side of the laptop that turns wireless on/off?" [06:35] Hi - What is shell command to install restricted extra's ? ? [06:35] furtwed, There is a shell command for everything :) [06:35] furtwed, $ sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [06:35] hello room [06:35] opop: Oh, good point. [06:36] how do i open .run file? [06:36] trying to install and play tremulous [06:36] opop, Thanks [06:36] Erynn: Is there a kill switch on your laptop that turns the wifi on/off? [06:36] papersoul, $ chmod +x foo.run && exec foo.run [06:36] furtwed, firstly you need root power to install programs so we'll use sudo. do you know what sudo is? [06:37] i gots me some root power. [06:37] My issue - Dual graphics card, dual monitor system, set up to run as seperate X sessions. When I try to run a program from the secondary monitor, the program opens up on the primary instead of the secondary like it's supposed to...heeeeelp? Xorg.conf: http://pastebin.com/m3a3f6310 [06:37] opop, that's it? [06:37] chey@chey-desktop:~/Desktop$ $ chmod +x foo.run && exec foo.run [06:37] bash: $: command not found [06:37] papersoul, yes. make sure the file's executable, then run the thing [06:37] opop, tiyowan: http://paste.ubuntu.com/186270/ [06:37] papersoul, replace foo with the name of the file [06:37] lyle [06:37] tiyowan: yes and it's on, don't worry. I'm not QUITE that stupid xD [06:38] Erynn, I am. I spent a day trying to figure out why my hard drive wasn't recognized when it wasn't plugged in. [06:38] Erynn, sometimes it's the dumbest stuff. [06:38] opop: Haha well we all have our off days. I'm kind of hoping this has a simple solution... [06:39] That was really strange... rhythmbox just closed on me for no reason [06:39] opop, says command not found? [06:39] I'm considering downgrading to 8.10 [06:39] chey@chey-desktop:~/Desktop$ $ chmod +x tremulous-1.1.0-installer.x86.run && exec tremulous-1.1.0-installer.x86.run [06:39] Erynn: You're not the only one. :D [06:39] bash: $: command not found [06:39] Erynn: Well, the simplest temporary solution is to disable WEP from your router - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=424393 [06:39] is she using wep [06:39] tiyowan: I'm afraid that's not an option - I'm on a shared router and people would not be happy with me if I did that [06:40] opop: Yep. [06:40] Erynn: Yeah, it's not good from a security standpoint. [06:40] papersoul, what is wrong with using apt to get tremulous? [06:40] i have a pretty slow connection, and i've downloaded the run file already [06:41] My issue - Dual graphics card, dual monitor system, set up to run as seperate X sessions. When I try to run a program from the secondary monitor, the program opens up on the primary instead of the secondary like it's supposed to...heeeeelp? Xorg.conf: http://pastebin.com/m3a3f6310 [06:41] papersoul, you should always use the package manager [06:41] Erynn: Does "lsmod lbm_cw-lib80211_crypt_wep" do anything? [06:41] papersoul, Titan8990++ [06:42] Erynn: Er, sorry. "sudo modprobe lbm_cw-lib80211_crypt_wep" [06:42] NoTownKasper, so, you just want your application to show up on the second monitor of a spanned desktop? [06:42] tiyowan: FATAL: Module lbm_cw_lib80211_crypt_wep not found. [06:42] hi.. how do i become root from outside terminal .. i just need to copy some files and it says access denied [06:42] Uhoh [06:43] opop: No, it's not a spanned desktop. It's dual desktops on dual monitors. [06:43] Erynn, noice. [06:43] I don't like the sound of that. [06:43] hmmm ok then [06:43] NoTownKasper, ok [06:43] and i dont want to use sudo cp [06:43] thanks anyways [06:43] gladiator: Run as root when you right click [06:43] hola, i have to connect to machine at work [06:43] NoTownKasper, two separate X instances? [06:43] opop: Indeed. [06:43] tiyowan: fatal is usually a bad word D: [06:44] outside of the work LAN, we can only connect via a proxy server [06:44] zortec: run what as root ... i am just copying and pasting .. not running any program [06:44] i can get in via ssh [06:44] hi everyone :) [06:44] does anyone know how i could get vnc running? [06:44] i've got vnc4server operating on my work machine [06:44] I have been trying run fsck on a drive but I get an error "fsck: fsck.mdraid: not found [06:44] so you want a command in :0 to open a window in :1? [06:44] gladiator: You asked how to become root, you could also just switch users or use the cli [06:44] basically i have to enter the staging server proxy.work.net [06:44] fsck: Error 2 while executing fsck.mdraid for /dev/sda4" [06:44] NoTownKasper, I just found this: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/19764/ The last post says it's the Place Windows plugin under Window Managment in Compiz Settings [06:44] and then access a local machine, say me@work [06:45] anyone know an easy way to share media with xbox360 and ubuntu? [06:45] Erynn: Actually (and I don't know how this happened), what I think happened is that somehow a kernel module dealing with WEP got wiped out from your system. [06:45] opop: well, not exactly [06:45] zortec: i am logged in as the a user who has root previliges .. but it needs the password anyway [06:45] NoTownKasper, it isn't a very powerful tool though :( [06:45] opop: No, I want a command run in :1 to open in :1 instead of in :0. [06:45] zortec: i know how to become root .. but i dont want the command line [06:45] opop: oh, haha [06:46] ed_debian: thanks, reading it now. [06:46] !root | gladiator [06:46] gladiator: 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 [06:46] NoTownKasper, I hope it helps! [06:46] Ok...that link wasn't even related... [06:46] NoTownKasper, lyle. [06:47] tiyowan: That does not sound good. So maybe I should go ahead and downgrade... [06:47] opop: ? [06:47] hi if i want to sort an array of structure giving the user the choice .. eg:- how do u want to sort 1.Name 2.Flat No .. then while sorting what should i put in place of name here >> a[j].name Do you get a trail every time you open up a new directory in Ubuntu? [06:47] Hi all, could some one help me fix my repo list, when I try to update for all the repo's I get an error output of "Could not resolve 'PROXY'". But the thing is, is that Im not connected to the net through a proxy === sleepy_cat is now known as c_nick [06:47] NoTownKasper, i'm looking, m8, chill [06:48] Can anyone point me the right direction to reconstruct this RAID on this singal drive which I suspect is a RAID 5 Jobbing array? [06:48] PsyCl0ne, apt probably thinks you are. [06:48] Erynn: Since the temporary fix is unfeasible, I'd think so. Try a reinstall first, because I'm pretty sure 9.04 will work with your card. After all, it was working before right? [06:48] opop: lol, just wondering what lyle. mean, take your time. :D [06:48] from where can download bootloader themes? [06:48] opop: How do i fix it, Im kinda new to linux. [06:48] How do I edit the GRUB menu so that it does not wait 10 secs to boot into ubuntu? [06:49] I want it to boot immediately [06:49] NoTownKasper: it might be related, compiz 'Place windows" plugin has a multi output setting you can use to get what you want i believe, at least it's worth a try [06:49] NoTownKasper, are you running gnome? [06:49] opop: yes. [06:49] NoTownKasper, nvidia? [06:50] glitsj16: The plugin might be related...but the link he sent me wasn't, either that or my browser choked on it. [06:50] opop: yes. [06:50] zortec: sudo gedit /boot/grup/menu.lst - change the timeout value [06:50] I have been trying google with not to much joy [06:50] NoTownKasper, i think is bug. http://forums.opensuse.org/applications/411679-dual-x-screens.html [06:50] tiyowan: Thanks, knew it was menu.lst :) [06:50] PsyCl0ne, you know how to use paste.ubuntu.com? [06:50] I want to install Themes. [06:50] hi [06:51] Can someone help me out? [06:51] opop: no, ive never been there before, is it like pastebin? [06:51] NoTownKasper, lemme look at your Xorg.conf real quick. i saw it pasted before [06:51] PsyCl0ne, yes. [06:51] tiyowan: Yes it was. I'll try that. [06:51] opop: kk then yes i do know how to use it [06:51] opop: http://pastebin.com/m3a3f6310 [06:51] Thanks for all your help guys, I really appreciate it :D [06:51] !themes | Newbie- [06:51] Newbie-: Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://kubuntu-art.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy [06:52] zortec: No problem. :) [06:52] tiyowan: By the way it's grub, not grup :) [06:52] zortec: Ehehehe, that's right. Sorry, I haven't had coffee yet. [06:53] is ushare the only way to get ubuntu to talk to my xbox? [06:53] If someone could point me to a guide that covers A) Identifying what RAID is on a drive and B) How to go about reassembling that RAID it would be much appreciated. [06:53] zortec:you can use startup-manager also..you can set time out to zero [06:53] ganesh_: Is that another package? [06:54] why does my /proc/cpuinfo show that i am running intel64 processor when i am running amd ? [06:54] opop:am I supposed to be posting something in paste.ubuntu.com? [06:54] PsyCl0ne, /etc/apt/sources.list [06:54] ah kk one sec [06:55] opop: Well phooie, judging from the lack of a fix on that bug report, it looks like I get to downgrade back to 8.10 or maybe 8.04. :( [06:55] I have been googleing those two points but I must be using the wrong key words as i am not getting any clear direction. [06:55] opop: http://paste.ubuntu.com/186276/ [06:56] NoTownKasper, you're turning off xinerama and twinview, but telling screen1 that there is a twinviewxineramainfoorder [06:56] zortec: in 9.04 its there in system->administration i guess...or else install from synoptic [06:57] opop: If that's in there, it's something the nvidia-settings put in there... [06:57] opop: Think removing that might help? [06:57] NoTownKasper, "there's your problem." [06:57] anyone? [06:57] lyle. [06:57] i hate nvidia-settings. [06:57] lyle=lol [06:57] sorry [06:57] Sorry I got disconnected [06:57] I was asking, I want to install Themes. === joshthecoder is now known as joshthecoder_afk [06:57] !themes | Newbie- [06:58] !themes [06:58] Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://kubuntu-art.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy [06:58] Ok, removed that option... [06:58] hi i was wondering if the ext4 filesystem for ubuntu is stable enough to use on a workstation computer at home [06:58] i know, sounds silly. [06:58] Fine, I downloaded a theme from gnome-look but I don't know how to install. [06:58] NoTownKasper, lemme see. [06:58] NoTownKasper, i don't mean paste again [06:58] opop: lol ok. [06:58] NoTownKasper, was a "hrm, lemme see what else . . ." [06:59] Newbie-: I don't remember the exact directions, but I think what you need to do is to go to System -> Preferences -> Appearances. And then you can drag the theme file directly into the window. [06:59] Newbie-: is it a GTK theme? Emerald? what kind of theme is it? [06:59] Emerld [07:00] Emerald. [07:00] Newbie-: is emerald enabled in compiz settings? [07:00] eaglestar: I'd stick with ext3 until this bug is fixed for jaunty https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/330824 [07:00] I don't know, I'm newbie! [07:00] NoTownKasper, do you have an old xorg.conf to compare it to? [07:00] !emerald | Newbie- [07:00] Newbie-: emerald is an obsolete window decorator for compiz. It's unsupported and unmaintained, making issues with it very hard to diagnose and fix. There are no known, supported alternatives. [07:00] NoTownKasper, one that worked in the prior version? [07:00] opop: Sorry to bother you but do you have [07:00] opop: Unfortunately no. [07:00] PsyCl0ne, i didn't see the paste, sorry. [07:00] thanks geirha [07:00] opop: sorry was just gonna ask if you got the link [07:00] Newbie-: You might be a newbie but you should have some basic knowledge about what you are doing. [07:01] opop:http://paste.ubuntu.com/186276/ [07:01] Any recommendations? [07:01] Obviously! [07:01] Newbie-: Ok, up top, go to system > preferences > compiz settings manager. [07:01] Newbie-: yes, use normal metacity themes, emerald is not supported [07:01] PsyCl0ne, certainly nothing weird in there. [07:02] There is no compiz Manager [07:02] Heh. [07:02] what would be the lightest ram intensive window manager to run on ubuntu i was thinking of installing xubuntu but i think ubuntu+ light window manager would be good [07:02] eaglestar: It's mentioned in the releasenotes http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/904 [07:02] Newbie-: You need to install it from synaptic [07:02] all, where does apt get its proxy information? [07:02] eaglestar: take a look at LXDE+Openbox [07:02] Ok, let me. [07:02] install ccsm [07:02] Newbie-: The previous suggestion to use metacity themes is probably the best bet... [07:02] opop: I believe that what is seen in that paste is default except for the Mercury-Messenger [07:02] ok thanks i was trying to run lxde on a debian install but there were a lot of configuration file problems ziroday [07:02] eaglestar: I'm fond of fluxbox myself. Quite light [07:03] ok will try fluxbox and lxde thanks guys [07:03] PsyCl0ne, that's a comment-out, anyway [07:03] eaglestar: #lxde on irc.oftc.net is probably the best place to ask about tht [07:03] Newbie-: but if you insist on using the emerald theme, install compiz settings manager from the synaptic package manager available under System > Administration. [07:03] opop: is there anyway to reset everything for apt-get and start from default default again? [07:03] i wish to find out the device name of my pen drive eg sda1 or somwthing. how do i find it out? [07:03] NoTownKasper: yup, doing the same! please wait. [07:03] so after i install ubuntu i can just install fluxbox and lxde and use them out of the box right [07:03] I need a few suggestions, going to develop RSI if I keep this up. I have Gnome-Do installed and I can use it to search for apps and fire them up. But is there another way to quickly access apps like terminal you use frequently? [07:04] i get this error when i use 'sudo apt-get install google-gadgets' http://pastebin.com/m65c02bce [07:04] I'm trying to limit the amount of typing. I've had RSI problems in the past [07:04] eaglestar: Yes, you select the wm you want to use on the login-screen [07:04] eaglestar: correct [07:04] zortec switch to dvorak keyboard i did it 4 years ago and never looked back [07:04] shavinder: sudo fdisk -l [07:04] shavinder: if you plug it in and it mounts, you can do a df -h and it'll tell you the device being mounted. [07:04] guys, I needs a real copy of a HD... so I can perform some recovery stuff on my clone later on.... what shal I use ? DD ? [07:04] thanks let me try that [07:05] zortec: ten thumbs typing tutor is great [07:05] Newbie-: Once that's installed, open it up, find the window decorator settings and look for the line labeled 'Command' replace the text in there with 'emerald', double check to make sure the window decorator is enabled, and restart the system (There's a way to restart X without rebooting, but I always just prefer a clean boot.) [07:05] can someone briefly do me a favour and fire up a web browser, and let me know if my apache setup is working externally - http://bendemora.selfip.com ? [07:05] eaglestar: I don't have a problem with typing, it is that I want an app to quickly open frequently used apps without having to do so much typing if that makes any sense. [07:05] anyone has any ideas about http://pastebin.com/m65c02bce ? [07:06] PsyCl0ne,: open synaptic. go to Settings-->Preferences. click "network" tab. do you have anything in the "manual proxy configuration" radio-button section? [07:06] gOt it thanks guys. Additionally could you tell me what does "s" "d" stand for in sda or sdb? [07:06] toortoor: yes, don't install google gadgets [07:06] shavinder: sata disk I believe [07:06] ziroday: haha very funny [07:06] toortoor looks like a wrong deb [07:06] shavinder: actually that's wrong [07:06] shavinder, special device [07:06] opop, ha ha :) [07:06] RHorse: so what should be done? [07:06] it is special device [07:06] Hi, from where can I send an email so all ubuntu team will see it? [07:06] thanks for that [07:07] unop, opop ftw [07:07] Gourlis: ubuntu-devel-discuss [07:07] I wrote 'emerald' on Command Line 0 [07:07] is this correct NoTownKasper [07:07] toortoor you have to match to your distro [07:07] ziroday, you mean? [07:07] opop, how do you explain h and d in /dev/hdX then? [07:07] unop, hard disk [07:07] opop: Im sorry I dont know where to find those settings, Im currently using GNOME [07:07] Gourlis: ubuntu-devel-discuss is the mailing list to send messages regarding ubuntu development [07:08] Newbie-: Um...if by that you filled in the text box labeled 'Command' under 'Window Decoration' in the Compiz Settings manager...then yes. [07:08] opop, and /dev/scdX ? [07:08] unop: Hard disk. [07:08] unop: SCSI disk. [07:08] PsyCl0ne, ok, sorry. in your panel, upper left, click System --> Administration --> Synaptic Package Manager [07:08] PsyCl0ne, it will ask for password [07:09] opop: kk im in [07:09] PsyCl0ne, then go to Settings-->Preferences. click "network" tab. do you have anything in the "manual proxy configuration" radio-button section? [07:09] tiyowan, you are a loonix god. [07:09] opop: its set to direct connection to internet [07:10] PsyCl0ne, cool. [07:10] NoTownKasper: /usr/bin/compiz-decorator [07:10] tiyowan, errm, I sense a discrepancy with /dev/sdX then :) [07:10] NoTownKasper: Can I replace this one? this is the one you talking about. [07:10] opop: Not really. :) [07:10] Newbie-: Yeah, that will be what is in there to start with, replace that with 'emerald' minus the quotes of course. [07:10] PsyCl0ne, ok, what happens when you do $ sudo apt-get update in a terminal? [07:10] PsyCl0ne, after it asks for password, of course. [07:11] ziroday, thanks. [07:11] NoTownKasper: Just like this /usr/bin/compiz-emerald or just emerald [07:11] where can I get original jaunty wall papers? [07:11] Newbie-: just emerald. [07:11] catnap, over google search. [07:11] opop: if it makes any difference for school I connect to a PROXY proxy, so I can connect to the net. I use network proxy to change the system to connect to the net through the proxy, then when I get home is use it to change everything back to default. [07:11] ok [07:11] no period. [07:11] the wallpapers disapeared when I upgraded [07:11] i'm way too used to windows and setup.exe, so what do i do with ushare_1.1a.orig.tar.gz to install it? [07:12] !install | new2linux [07:12] unop, tiyowan's right, sd is scsi disk. it used to be sd0, sd1, etc. [07:12] new2linux: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - see also !automate [07:12] Gourlis: can you be more specific - I've tried google search, but it finds a bunch of other wallpapers [07:12] !packages | new2linux this is the right one [07:12] new2linux this is the right one: You can browse and search for Ubuntu packages using !Synaptic, !Adept, "apt-cache search ", or online at http://packages.ubuntu.com - Ubuntu has about 20000 packages available, so please *search* for an official package before installing things in awkward ways! [07:12] when i am install java jdk from synaptic i have get this error : E: /var/cache/apt/archives/java-common_0.30ubuntu3_all.deb: files list file for package `libiptcdata0' is missing final newline [07:12] new2linux you should prolly stick to installing from the package mngr at first [07:12] anyone using a macbook right now? [07:13] can't find ushare in the package manager [07:13] opop: here is what I get http://paste.ubuntu.com/186281/ [07:13] PsyCl0ne, then it's not your apt settings, it's your network settings. left-click the little 2-monitor icon in your panel tray [07:13] NoTownKasper: done! [07:13] NoTownKasper: should I go now for restart? [07:13] new2linux: its there :) [07:13] wouldnt it be a good idea to include a built in "format" option on context menu on a external mounted drive. similar to w******? [07:13] checking [07:13] PsyCl0ne, wait, how are you connected to the interwebs, then? [07:13] !cli | new2linux [07:13] new2linux: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [07:14] Newbie-: Good, then reboot. Once you've rebooted, you should be able to select and apply emerald themes using the emerald theme manager under system > preferences. [07:14] opop: WiFi, currently I am at home connected directly. But at school I have to go through a proxy [07:14] Anyone use Twitter on linux? [07:14] NoTownKasper, CTRL+ALT+backspace [07:14] NoTownKasper, reboots are for kernel upgrades only [07:14] twitter is web based, not OS based . or is it? [07:14] Titan8990: on my system, ctrl+alt+backspace simply crashes the system. x never comes back up... [07:14] shavinder: there are twitter clients available [07:15] PsyCl0ne, so the machine with the problem is connected to the interwebs? [07:15] shavinder: Yeah, Ubuntu is lacking an easy way of handling harddrives and partitions [07:15] !dontzap [07:15] To re-enable the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace combination that restarts your X server, you can install the "dontzap" package and use the command « sudo dontzap --disable ». The combination Alt+SysRq+K can also be used to obtain a similar effect. [07:15] PsyCl0ne, and you can ping google [07:15] ziroday: Oh ! i see. i din know that [07:15] how do i make a process *always* run with say, a -5 nice value, from it's Icon in a gui? [07:15] opop: Im on it currently [07:15] PsyCl0ne, okies [07:15] shavinder: It's web-based. They offer the Twitter API for writing desktop clients. [07:15] opop, tho i didn't mean /dev/sdX there, i meant /dev/scdX .. but never mind, i'm beating around the bush. [07:15] NoTownKasper, i hear they changed it in 9.04, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart should also work [07:15] opop: sorry if im unclear, just kinda tired, its been a super long day [07:15] gartral: change the "command" that the icon runs when clicked [07:15] tiyowan. I see. thanks for that [07:15] PsyCl0ne, you're doing fine, m8 [07:15] got it, i was using add/remove HAHA [07:16] Slart: I figured that much.. but *how* or "change what, where" I geuss is what i should have asked [07:16] Titan8990: I'll look into that, but ctrl+alt+bckspc crashed my system back in 8.04 too. lol [07:16] unop: scd would be kernel emulation of a cd disc maybe. [07:16] gartral: right click on the icon.. select properties [07:17] unop: The kernel emulates all SATA, CD, and USB drives as SCSI drives. [07:17] gartral: there you have a command... it's probably just the name of the binary [07:17] new2linux: Yes, Add/remove more or less only list gui applications, if you want to install any package, you'll want to use synaptic or apt-get/aptitude [07:17] HOw come i cannot get BItchX not to install it says E package error [07:17] Slart: Im using AWN, getting to the equivilent thereof [07:17] tiyowan, errm, not necessarily - tho it is commonplace on ubuntu - depends on the version of libata in use [07:18] gartral: just add a nice -n 5 in front of that command... so if it says "gcalctool" now, you change it to "nice -5 gcalctool" [07:18] slart talking to me [07:18] QUEBALL just get the files and put them in the directories. [07:18] unop: -shrug- As long the data is accessible and safe, they could call it "the-bells-and-whistles-data-matrix" for all I care. [07:18] Slart: the command is gmplayer %F what about that odd flag? [07:19] gartral: just leave it [07:19] PsyCl0ne, sorry, i'm stumped. googling [07:19] QUEBALL: huh? nope [07:19] Rh where do i put them, I put them in my main folder /home/ [07:19] my folder [07:19] Ok, brb...gonna see if x is fixed now. [07:19] opop: its ok no worries, all that google gave me was a bunch of stuff from 2005 [07:19] Slart: -5 for higher, right? [07:19] Good night boys and girls and JPH [07:20] PsyCl0ne, so, basically, you have a machine on your local net at school actually named "proxy" [07:20] QUEBALL you have to look at the documentation on freshmeat [07:20] PsyCl0ne, that routes stuff for you. [07:20] gartral: I think so..but I'm not sure if you can set stuff to lower nice values without being root or something.. hang on.. let me check that [07:20] got it work [07:20] nm [07:20] PsyCl0ne: Why is PROXY the name of a machine? [07:20] opop: well it is at school, i guess it is a network proxy. To get to the net you have to go through it [07:20] PsyCl0ne, apt is configured somewhere to look for that machine. it can't find it because it's not there when you're at home. [07:21] tiyowan, prolly because the machine is on dhcp or something [07:21] I think am out of problems right now with Ubuntu 8.10. [07:21] tiyowan, i know nothing aboot apt-proxy [07:21] opop: um so how do I tell my machine that Im at home now and I do not need to connect through the computer named PROXY to get to the net? [07:21] Slart, gartral: Default niceness is 10, so setting it to 5 gives it higher priority than most processes [07:21] Slart: i know the system monitor GUI lets me, cause i just did it, but i definatly want gmplayer to run at a higher priority, 0 it suffers from frame tearing and*very* mild coppyness [07:21] PsyCl0ne: Are you using a proxy right now? [07:22] geirha: default nice value is 0 [07:22] tiyowan: no Im at home right now, but when I go back to school tomm I will have to [07:22] PsyCl0ne, do you have a file called /etc/apt-proxy/apt-proxy.conf [07:22] gartral: it seems I was right.. nice only "adds" to the default nice level.. you have to be root to lower it, it seems.. you might have to start the process and then renice it as root or something [07:22] PsyCl0ne: Pastebin: cat /etc/apt/apt.conf [07:22] geirha: ah, thanks [07:23] opop: I guess i do but its empty [07:23] and one sec tiyowan [07:23] PsyCl0ne, ok [07:23] slart, any way i could add an exception for gmplayer, or cange userland restrictions on nice values for my user? [07:23] tiyowan, i don't have such an animal. it's split into a bunch of conf.d files [07:24] gartral: I'm not sure.. [07:24] tiyowan: That file is empty, I have nothing to paste [07:24] Slart, gartral: Yes, seems I'm mistaken, sorry. [07:24] Slart: eh... it works much better after i renice in SM [07:24] opop: Well, removing that option from xorg.conf didn't fix the problem...any other ideas? [07:25] NoTownKasper, looks like i'm having a bad night, heh. [07:25] PsyCl0ne: Hmm...one sec. Did you set "No Proxy" vis that System -> * -> Networks? [07:25] geirha: mediacenter distros usually have that behavior, but Ubuntu is no such an animal [07:25] gartral: Have you tried enabling framedropping in mplayer? (the d key) [07:25] NoTownKasper, the 6XXX series aren't deprecated in the nvidia driver, are they [07:25] tiyowan: yes and I clicked the apply-systemwide button too [07:26] opop: I don't think so... [07:26] PsyCl0ne: Did you log out and back in after doing that? [07:26] opop: thank you for your help kind sir [07:26] k [07:26] tiyowan: No I have not [07:26] PsyCl0ne: Do that and then try apt-get update. [07:26] tiyowan: sorry I should have thought of that :(. Ill brb. [07:26] lyle [07:27] geirha: ewww, I would rather throw more proc time than loose frames... I have senitive eyes, and I ctch dropped frames, it bugs me when a device drops frames of video/audio [07:27] that's awesome [07:27] u rock tiyowan === jaxdahl2 is now known as jaxdahl [07:28] NoTownKasper, i'm actually amazed you can use an onboard plus an agp card in one xorg.conf [07:28] anyway, I've come to a solution that works, I'm not gonna say more but: Goodbye, and thanks for your time guys [07:29] opop: Actually, it's an onboard and a PCIe card...but yeah...lol [07:29] NoTownKasper: how do you do that, I have a similar setup [07:29] opop: and the onboard is the secondary. lol [07:29] got a new problem... i know eth0 is my lan connection so what is my wifi connection? [07:29] nvm [07:29] new2linux iwconfig [07:30] ifconfig [07:30] new2linux ifconfig [07:30] thanks wlan0 [07:30] new2linux: hardwar it may be either eth1 (rare) or wlan0 (common) [07:31] NoTownKasper, so, the display confusion among x screens is pretty common, and has a lot to do with how the app handles the fact that it is being initiated from one or the other. can you successfully run, say, $ gimp --display :1 [07:31] gartral: I don't do it very well...that's why I'm here. :D [07:31] can someone tell me if they can get these videos to work? http://www.wired.com/techbiz/people/magazine/17-06/ff_keymaster [07:31] i did: gnome-terminal -e "bash -c 'cd /home/crolle/work/'" but the terminal closes after having processed the command. how to prevent closing itself? [07:32] opop: I can run the command, but gimp still opens up on :0 instead of :1 [07:32] NoTownKasper, that's some buggy bugness. [07:32] hey opop, do you happen to know anything about httptunnel? [07:32] NoTownKasper, i'd file it on launchpad. [07:32] ah. found out by myself. set up the profile... [07:33] jthomas, networking is one of my weakspots [07:33] opop: np [07:33] kk Im back [07:33] thanks you two [07:33] jthomas, one of many [07:33] it worked [07:33] PsyCl0ne, noice. [07:33] anybody know about httptunnel? [07:33] tobago, or a more inefficient way. gnome-terminal -e "bash -c 'cd /home/crolle/work/ && bash'" [07:33] opop: hey, don't we all [07:33] opop: Indeed. I think it would just be safer to pack up my themes onto a flash drive really quick and downgrade to 8.04 where I know this dual-monitor setup worked. :D [07:33] PsyCl0ne: No worries. [07:33] jthomas, one of mine happens to be fielding a fly ball in right-center, as tonight proved. [07:34] kk one more question, is there anyway to restart linux with out actually restarting the computer, for example in windows you could endprocess on explorer.exe and then run it again [07:34] NoTownKasper, another option might be an earlier kernel. [07:34] is there anyway to do this for linux? [07:34] PsyCl0ne: Well...you could kill the graphical desktop. [07:35] PsyCl0ne, that's not restarting windows, that's just restarting the window manager... [07:35] sweet my xbox can see ushare, but my directories are not set right...i'm using an external hardrive with multiple subfolders with my media...what do i set the dir location to be? hard drive is /dev/sdb [07:35] opop: Easier for me to just downgrade since I'm sitting here looking at an 8.04 disk. and that way I don't have to scare myself by even -involving- the word kernel. :D [07:35] PsyCl0ne: Ctrl-Alt-F3 to get to a virtual console, then sudo killall gdm I think. [07:35] NoTownKasper, lyle [07:35] Hello [07:35] You can do that with CTRL + ALT + BACKSPACE if you disable dontzap [07:35] I want to install a new language to my Ubuntu 9.04 system, but I don't want to translate the interface, I just want to be able to type in Portuguese (Brazilian) [07:35] Where do I do that? [07:35] unop, great! thanx. [07:36] i think he's trying to save the open applications [07:36] PsyCl0ne or just ctl alt bksp [07:36] PsyCl0ne: It's not the same thing as "restarting linux", but it's functionally equivalent to killing the explorer.exe process on Windows. [07:36] opop: Anyway, thanks for trying. It was appreciated. :D [07:36] lol kk thanks all, just windering what does ctrl alt bksp do? [07:36] PsyCl0ne: Ctrl-Alt-Backspace (RHorse) is great, too. :) [07:36] wondering* [07:36] NoTownKasper, if you get it working in 8.04, save a copy of your xorg [07:36] .conf [07:36] <_nix_> PsyCl0ne: it kills your X session [07:36] kills x [07:36] opop: a baseball player? [07:36] NoTownKasper, then try it on the 9.04 livecd [07:36] PsyCl0ne: Same thing. Kills X. [07:37] jthomas, just getting into softball again [07:37] then what do I do to get x back up? [07:37] opop: Good idea...I'll try that. [07:37] opop: ah, fun [07:37] startx [07:37] <_nix_> PsyCl0ne: it'll come back up on its own [07:37] PsyCl0ne: startx. :) [07:37] <_nix_> or that [07:37] lol kk [07:37] thanks Ill give that a try in like 5 min [07:37] opop: assuming I can then figure out how to boot the live CD with a different xorg.conf. :D [07:37] PsyCl0ne: If you use Ctrl-Alt-Backspace, it'll auto-restart. [07:37] PsyCl0ne, but it won't keep your apps open. it kills gdm, and all child processes, like X, your irc client, etc. [07:38] ah kk [07:38] Hi [07:38] I have a (probably simple) question... [07:38] http://pastebin.com/m1e3e8d2f [07:39] Which /dev device corresponds to that USB device? [07:39] NoTownKasper, you wouldn't have to. just boot it, install the nvidia driver, exit the WM without rebooting. it'll restart on its own [07:39] this is the example ushare gives me "Ex: USHARE_DIR=/dir1,/dir2", i changed it to "=/dev/sdb" but cant see the media...any ideas? [07:39] NoTownKasper, of course, update your xorg.conf by hand or from file on your existing drive. ez as pie. [07:39] ;-) [07:39] hmm before I try the ctrl alt bkspace, would any of you recommend an app that I can use to video chat with friends over msn [07:39] ok, i gotta hit the sack. night, guys. i'll try to get on again tomorrow. [07:40] PsyCl0ne, amsn, yw [07:40] opop: Thank you have a gnight [07:40] opop: I'm confident, but I'm not very linux educated yet...I might have to come back here and have you 'splain how to do to that again in about half an hour. :D [07:40] computer13137: What do you need that device node for? [07:40] opop: its slow ang laggy though [07:40] NoTownKasper, i'm out. [07:40] PsyCl0ne, then run winders, ha! [07:40] is anyone else having trouble with npviewer.bin? [07:40] opop: Or get someone else to explain it I guess. :D Sleep well. [07:40] geirha: I'm trying to allow an OpenVZ container to access the device. The webcam isn't compatible with Ubuntu 8.04 - which I seem to HAVE to run for OpenVZ... so I wanted to forward it to a 9.04 VE so I can record it using Motion. [07:40] night all. [07:40] opop: lol XP night [07:40] peace [07:40] I have a 8GB pendrive connected to a remote computer, it shows up in the 'Places' menu, but won't mount. Can anyone help getting it to work? Can I find out what device (i.e. /dev/sd?) its trying to mount?

[08:13] myt, what do you meand? i did not send any awaymsgs [08:13] SunmanXII: and i solved that by: apt-get install libflashsupport [08:13] Are there any iwconfig/ifconfig gurus in the house? [08:13] There has been some discussion of the channel you hackers [08:13] @Myrtti: i didn't send any ?! [08:13] tiyowan: "Hewlett-Packard" -- the first one listed.

[08:14] NeoTubNinja: I have that installed already. However, thats not my issue - i can view flash sound anod other sound but if i have one playing the other will not [08:14] finlay: you will be removed from the channel soon because you are not discussing ubuntu support stuff. [08:14] neil_d: It's an HP pendrive? [08:15] @Myrtti: sry i didn [08:15] 't know [08:15] tiyowan: The only other thing listed is the scanner, so it must have a HP chip in the pendrive.

[08:15] jozen: just a friendly reminder [08:15] thanks [08:16] is there tool for watching dvd while dling, like funshion and qvod in windows? [08:16] anyone use a macbook here? [08:16] neil_d: Well...there seems to be a problem. Because according to the results of lsusb -v, it's detecting it as a printer. [08:16] Ducas: Well, on Saturday I could launch via VNC the setup of win2008Server. Which I than had to abort, as I hadn't had the license key with me. This morning I wanted to start it again, but no I get the message that the bootmnanager is missing [08:16] Hey how do I set ulimit to 20000 ? [08:16] pudidis: Yep. Just "sudo fdisk -l" then paste the results into the textbox in paste.ubuntu.com, then click on paste it, and post the link to that page here. [08:17] SunmanXII: well that was my problem as well. If i was watching something in vlc and then tried to watch say Hulu, I wouldn't get any sound === desti_T2 is now known as desti [08:17] neil_d: Do you have an HP printer attached to the machine? [08:17] tiyowan: on stupid me, I forgot about the printer, so it not detecting it at all. [08:17] Niels_: What are you connecting to from what?

One moment. === eplawless is now known as eplawless_zzz [08:19] Good evening! I have a friend who's having wireless network connectivity issues, and I'm trying to help her over SSH, but it's not going well. any attempt to configure eth1 (wireless) with iwconfig results in "SET failed on device eth1 ; Operation not permitted." It does it when I try to set essid, key, whatever, whether eth1 is commanded to be up or down. [08:19] tiyowan: Highly appreciate the help. [08:20] Niels_: Are we talking about KVM or VNC? [08:20] Ducas: I m connecting with ssh to the server which is a Jaunty Server and then I start the Install process with: kvm -usbdevice tabet -m 750 -cdrom /dev/cdrom -boot d volumelabel.img -vnc 0:0 [08:21] Niels_: I'm afraid that's beyond me, sorry [08:21] how can I kill a process? [08:21] Once that started I open TightVNC and I connect to QEMU/KVM and there I see the QEMU screen telling me that the Bootmanager is missing [08:22] <_nix_> swiftarrow: kill -15 to tell it to go away. kill -9 to stab it right in the face. [08:22] swiftarrow: System -> Administration -> System Monitor -> Processes tab === Cueball|2 is now known as Cueball [08:22] hey all, i have a problem with the new ubuntu 9.04 netbook remix.. i installed it on my akoya mini netbook and it worked just fine.. after smoke time every time when i try to "a wake" my pc from sleeping.. its booting um showing me the message "waking up" .. then it takes some time.. the screen turns black and nothing happends [08:23] Howdy. Does anyone here have an Ubuntu One account and would you send me an invite? [08:23] swiftarrow: use "ps -A | grep 'xyz'" to find the process, then "kill " or you can use "pkill " [08:26] helii [08:26] hey :/ [08:27] hi [08:27] Channel of China is not fun........ [08:27] when the font is in the list when doing xfontsel, it means the font is installed correctly right? [08:27] pudidis: Everything seems to be all right in terms of the partitions. I'd recommend that you put in the Windows XP CD, go the recovery mode, and then type chkdsk -r c: to fix any disk errors that might be present. After that's finished (it's going to take a long time), try booting into Windows XP again. [08:27] I prefer here..... [08:27] Severian: try on #ubuntuone [08:28] How do I change the ulimit of my python script so that my script can open 10,000 files ? [08:28] finlay: did you have Ubuntu *SUPPORT* questions? [08:29] tiyowan: Thank you very much. I have two questions though. First, can I use any windows xp CD? I think I have media center edition. And second: I have a partition on the disk that's called PC Recovery Mode. Can I use that? [08:29] finlay: everything else, #ubuntu-offtopic [08:29] alanbell, Thanks. I did not realize they had a channel. [08:29] anyone? [08:29] dsdeiz, what's the problem? [08:30] pudidis: No problems. Don't use the recovery partition, because that will reset your hard disk to the way it was when it came from the vendor. As in, it'll wipe out Ubuntu and restore Windows XP completely. I don't think you should have any problems using the Media Center disc. [08:30] anyone use a macbook? [08:30] uhm, just wanted to know how am i to use the font that was in the list in xfontsel [08:30] i wanted to change my font in xterm === Cueball is now known as Cueball|2 [08:31] tiyowan: Fantastic, I'll give it a shot then. Thanks a lot for your help. I'll try to look for the original disc [08:31] Room hackjllm have added channels to Oh [08:31] Anyone know a good how to for vyatta configuration? [08:31] xterm kept on saying that it is unable to open the font and switches back to "fixed" [08:31] pudidis: No problem - if chkdsk doesn't fix things for you, pop back in anytime. [08:31] which is the default font i think [08:31] anyone wanna help me troubleshoot dosemu [08:32] ? [08:32] neil_d: Sorry for the delay. So about this pendrive...what brand is it? [08:32] tiyowan: Sorry, I meant that I have Media Center installed, but it shouldn't make a difference what boot disk I use, right? As long as I can go into "recovery mode", correct? [08:32] is there a shell command to log out from the current session? [08:32] dsdeiz, does this happen with just that font or have you tried other as well? [08:32] pudidis: That's right. As long as you can get into recovery mode and use chkdsk, it'll be fine. [08:32] tiyowan: dont know, I havent ever seen it. [08:32] hey. Does anybody know how I can find out if my ubuntu version is 32bit or 64bit? [08:32] i've tried others as well [08:32] i mean the current X session? [08:33] lucas2: uname -m [08:33] tiyowan: Thanks, I'll give it a try now. [08:33] lstarness: thanks. it says i686 that's 32 bit right? [08:33] lucas2: ues [08:33] *yes [08:33] bummer.

Sorry if this isnt too linux related, just hoping someone might be able to help... [08:49] G_A_C: Ah oki, thanks anyways, i will continue my shearchs over google i guess [08:49] Newbie-, when it's installed the Emerald theme manager will appear in the Preferences Menu [08:49] Myrtti, and as a sysadmin, someone handing one a comment from some app without context is sort of pointless. [08:49] Mooms: good luck, hope you find the information you're looking for :) [08:49] theoriginal73: ok, vedi se invece di connetterti ad #ubuntu riesci a connetterti ad #ubuntu-it [08:49] and your theme then run emerald --replace [08:49] pudidis: Okay, do you hear any clicking or whirring noises coming from your hard drive?

[08:50] I think I worked it all out, thanks guys ans gals and sorry for all the questions [08:50] pudidis: Not really - it's a fairly constant noise. I'm worried because unrecoverable errors in chkdsk are usually a sign of impending hard drive failure. Can you access the file you've got stored on your windows partition from Ubuntu? [08:51] Host 'asdf' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server [08:51] i checked that its listening [08:51] anyone available for one on one hot and heavy sweaty dos trobleshooting?

I'll try now to log into Ubuntu and see if I can open files and such. [08:52] yaris123456789: did you do a fllush privilges [08:52] Newbie-, you have to add that emerald --replace command to the window decorator in Compiz Manager to use emerald by default [08:52] what's the best programming language, let's start the flame wars! [08:52] Myrtti, how about you? [08:52] lotharn: DOS as in the OS or denial of service ? [08:52] os [08:52] lotharn: nothing to do with this channel, please don't ask [08:52] or the other if you prefer [08:52] raghu125coorg: thanks you man i been on that website alredy but ty tough [08:52] lotharn: this channel is for ubuntu support only - pleae keep to that topic [08:53] ikonia, DOS is an OS, DoS is denial of service [08:53] done. [08:53] but the wallpapers not changed [08:53] tarskial: I'm well aware of what they are, I'm asking for clarification to the question [08:53] tiyowan: Could the problem be perhaps that I was using a Windows xp Professional CD on an xp media center edition installation? [08:53] ikonia, this is in regards to dos2unix [08:53] Newbie-, you have to change the wallpaper yourself. Emerald is just a window decorator [08:53] ikonia, and the dosemu package [08:53] lotharn: what is the question then ? [08:54] Hmm.. So I have to download wallpaper and change my self the wallpaper i saw in Theme was just a cool screen shot and nothing else. [08:54] pudidis, windows is very picky about discs and types [08:54] pudidis: I really don't think so. chkdsk is a program that doesn't care about the different editions of windows. It analyzes the hard drive on a lower-level for errors. [08:54] pudidis, oh, for chkdsk from recovery console, no [08:54] ikonia, i have a file that is filled with ^Ms that is preventing printing [08:54] Newbie-, seems so [08:54] lotharn: ok, so dos2unix will remove that [08:55] how to make c++ script run in start up [08:55] sree45: c++ is not a script [08:55] ikonia, this is not the case. [08:55] tiyowan: Hm, I figured. Well, I'll try to access the partition now. [08:55] http://www.hackjllm.cn [08:55] Thanks, Titan8990. [08:55] i already installed console-terminus how come it isn't being listed in xfontsel? :( [08:55] ikonia: flush privleges ? [08:55] ikonia, this is not the case. [08:55] some thing atleast a python script [08:55] ikonia: how do i do that ? [08:55] yaris123456789: from the mysql prompt "flush privileges" [08:55] Has anyone got an idea how to install VBox on a Jaunty Server ? [08:55] Now, I want to change the Start bar "Applications, Places, System" [08:55] pudidis: It looks like you installed Ubuntu at a good time, actually. Because I'd recommend using Ubuntu to back up all the important data from your Windows partition as soon as possible. [08:56] whats with the ban ? [08:56] yaris123456789: is it any of your business? move on [08:56] Newbie-, what exact you wanna do to it? [08:56] i already installed console-terminus how come it isn't being listed in xfontsel? :( [08:56] ikonia, as far as dos2unix is concerned the file passes through it transparently === Kapputtgarter is now known as Putt [08:56] lotharn: what synatax are you using ? [08:56] Myrtti: chill out man ;D [08:56] anyone again? hehehe [08:56] yaris123456789: ENOPARSE. move on [08:57] ikonia, -a [08:57] lotharn: please show me the exact command you're using ? [08:57] pudidis: And then, if you're comfortable with it, I'd have you burn something like the Ultimate Boot CD to a disc and then using one of the tools to do a thorough hard drive fitness check. [08:57] fromdos -a file [08:57] Myrtti: okay :) [08:57] tiyowan Okay, so it looks like my hdd is dying, huh? [08:57] tiyowan: smartmontools [08:57] lotharn: fromdos is nothing to do with dos2unix [08:57] tiyowan That's odd. Maybe it didn't like the defrag I did on it yesterday.

Hang on, please. === concerta is now known as pusing [08:59] lotharn: cat file | sed 's/ [08:59] lotharn: oops [08:59] hi [08:59] tiyowan No problem [08:59] hello, I clicked Install Inside Windows in the ubuntu CD and it still downloaded an ISO because the CD is corrupted. Can anybody tell me where is that iso ? [08:59] lotharn: cat file | sed 's/(crtl+v)//g' >file.out [08:59] really?

[09:01] I downloaded a Compiz theme from gnome look, how can i install it? [09:01] elena09: Menu->System->Preferences->Display or xrandr on the command line [09:01] elena09, System > Preferences > Display [09:01] prolly the dosemu conf [09:01] ikonia: okay i can't even know it because i can't access mysql from shell [09:01] ikonia, brb smokinh [09:01] i deleted some users [09:01] and now i can't login [09:02] yaris123456789: what command are you using to access the mysql shell [09:02] yaris123456789: ahh you deleted users, there will be the problem [09:02] mysql -u root -p [09:02] Newbie-, compiz theme?

[09:03] check. [09:03] I'm just now reinstalling Ubuntu on my Fujitsu Siemens bloody laptop because the screen got frozen after restarting. ATI Mobility HD 3450 card Radeon [09:03] Newbie-, post the link to the page so I know exactly what you mean [09:03] ikonia: mysqld runnig [09:03] pudidis: Back. Yes, so can you access that partition from Windows> [09:03] I chose Safe Graphics mode with F4 [09:03] yaris123456789: ok so what is your machine's hostname ? [09:04] server1 [09:04] Hey all, i'm having some troubles with restoring grub after a windows installation, i'm currently on a liveCD, and this is my result so far: http://paste.ubuntu.com/186333/ [09:04] yaris123456789: try mysql -u root -h server1 -p [09:04] tiyowan From Ubuntu, I can. I took a few files from it too, to test. [09:04] is it possible to copy the instalation files onto a hard drive, so i can run the setup on another computer without a cdrom or usb stick [09:05] pudidis: That's certainly good news. All right, do you have an external drive handy? [09:05] ikonia: it just hangs [09:05] matrixblue: http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Terminator+Salvation+Theme?content=105941 [09:05] define just hangs - never comes back from the command prompt ? [09:05] tiyowan: Just a sec, I need to see. [09:05] server irc.oltreirc.net [09:05] ikonia: right after i enter password. cursor just blinks [09:05] elena09, try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [09:06] .22 [09:06] oops [09:06] yaris123456789: Hmmmm I wonder if your name resolution is a problem also [09:06] tiyowan: yes, I have one. Does it need to fit the whole partition or just the files I want? [09:06] yaris123456789: looks like you may have to put mysql into recovery mode and reset the permissions correctly [09:07] pudidis: I'd get all the important files, you know. Documents, pictures, etc. [09:07] ikonia, back === iqkyu5566 is now known as delgado [09:07] tiyowan: Sure. Fortunately most of those are already backed up onto an external. [09:08] Newbie-, cool theme. No idea how to install a compiz theme though, sorry [09:08] lotharn: ok [09:08] http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/i-winwrap+(Animated+Desktop+Script)?content=104823 [09:08] matrixblue: I am reinstalling it from Live CD just now. After that I'll try to set the native rezolution according to specifications. I don't understand, your command, where should I type it if the screen will be frozen? [09:09] *facepalm [09:09] elena09, I misunderstood === Cueball|2 is now known as Cueball [09:09] tiyowan Should I then reinstall Windows? Or use the backup partition? [09:09] pudidis: That's very good. :) Just copy the rest of the important stuff over, and then we'll see what to do next. At this point, I'd use Ultimate Boot CD to do the diagnostic tests - but Myrtti's pointed out the smartmontools package. Unfortunately, I don't have any experience with that, but if you've got some time on your hands, we could get that setup and use that to scan the hard drive. [09:10] run === izibi_ is now known as izibi [09:10] pudidis: Na, don't reinstall Windows after finishing the backup. What you need to do is use a low-level tool to check your hard drive. To find out exactly what's wrong. [09:10] tiyowan: Ah, right. So this Ultimate Boot CD, do I need to download it? [09:11] pudidis: Yep, you can get the iso from www.ultimatebootcd.com. Burn that onto a disc, and boot from that to run the hard drive checking tools. [09:11] I'm having some troubles with restoring grub. I originially have XP, then installed ubuntu and lastly installed another copy of XP, this overwrote GRUB and i can't get it back. i get Error 22 when i try to install grub from a liveCD. http://paste.ubuntu.com/186333/ [09:12] Knightlust, are you aware hd0,5 is first disc, 6th partition? [09:12] tiyowan: Okay, I'll download that. [09:13] using jaunty x64. Having problems downloading a package thats allegedly in the universe repo: command line says it is "not available, but referred by another package." === Cueball is now known as Cueball|2 [09:13] yo yo yo [09:14] any ideas? === syadow is now known as jipabg_menjerit === jipabg_menjerit is now known as jipang_menjerit [09:14] pudidis: Yeah. It has a lot of tools for checking hard drives. It could be a minor problem with the partition table that could be fixed using TestDisk, or it could be something major. But it's best to find out now and take appropriate steps. Because if your HD is indeed dying, then it's best that you know now. [09:14] Hey ActionParsnip :) [09:14] Titan8990: You mean that it's just the temporary livecd filesystem? i cannot mount my ubuntu partition, it's ext4 [09:14] tiyowan: Yeah, sooner the better. [09:15] pudidis: the ultiate boot cd contains tools from the major hdd manufacturers to test their own drives [09:15] Knirgh, no, im saying that you are specifying it as the SIXTH partition on the disc [09:15] Ryan_Delaney: wassup? [09:15] using jaunty x64. Having problems downloading a package thats allegedly in the universe repo: command line says it is "not available, but referred by another package." [09:15] Ryan_Delaney: ok, which package? [09:15] Knirgh, is that correct? [09:15] http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/zsnes [09:16] pudidis: Do you know what brand your hard drive is? [09:16] Titan8990: Well, i was following a guide that told me to do find /boot/grub/stage1 and use the output in the following commands [09:16] tiyowan: No, it came with the computer. I'll check online, maybe HP will tell me [09:16] Ryan_Delaney, make sure you have the universe repos enabled [09:16] How can I Install iwinwrap_0-2-2.tar.gz [09:16] what does the "sw" option do in fstab for swap entry? [09:16] pudidis: What model is your computer? I'll check for you. [09:17] how do you get dmesg to show up on desktop transparently? [09:17] Knirgh, is ubuntu on a single partition? [09:17] Ryan_Delaney: ive been here before. try accessing http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/i386/zsnes/download and downloading the deb. then run: sudo dpkg -i ; sudo apt-get -f install [09:17] lo fellas [09:17] matrixblue: all repos are enabled, would you like a screenshot? [09:17] Ryan_Delaney, sure (I use zsnses) [09:17] tiyowan: Thanks, it's "Hp pavilion a1540n" [09:17] http://www.fopedush.com/upload/malathion/repos.png [09:17] Newbie-: sounds like source code to me. you can extract it with tar zxvf iwinwrap_0-2-2.tar.gz [09:17] can u recommend another text editor instead of gedit on gnome? [09:17] Newbie-: you'd be better of finding a repo with it already compiled [09:18] safruhani: nano :D [09:18] safruhani: leafpad [09:18] yes leafpad [09:18] Titan8990: I have 19G mounted on / and 2G linux-swap [09:18] !info leafpad [09:18] leafpad (source: leafpad): GTK+ based simple text editor.

[09:20] ActionParsnip: thank you so much [09:20] Knirgh, root should be hd0,4 [09:20] Ryan_Delaney, my guess is that they don't have a 64 bit version of it......that sucks [09:20] oh I got it, brb [09:20] :| [09:20] am I going to have to run this in virtualbox :| [09:20] Newbie-: then compile, they have debs i ngetdeb for intrepid and hardy [09:20] Ryan_Delaney, or find another snes emulator [09:20] Knirgh, you don't have a hd0,5 [09:21] AFAIK zsnes is by far the best one [09:21] Newbie-: if you are not comfortable or familiar with compiling i suggest you hunt out a repo [09:21] ActionParsnip: How? [09:21] safruhani: np man, gedit is slooow :) [09:21] http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/GRUB#Error_18 [09:21] Newbie-: websearches [09:21] I thought you could run 32bit software on a 64bit Ubuntu installation? :( [09:21] Ryan_Delaney, trying running the windows version under WINE [09:21] ActionParsnip: Not sure, I think I can't! [09:21] Newbie-: http://www.getdeb.net/app/xwinwrap [09:21] I installed Ubuntu a second ago, without Internet connection. Can't change the resolution and refresh rate [09:21] Ryan_Delaney: aptitude search snes [09:22] I did that, but I want to use zsnes [09:22] I'm gonna try it with getlibs first [09:22] Titan8990: now i get this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/186338/ [09:22] !chroot [09:22] chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot) [09:22] G_A_C: See above for 32-bit in 64-bit. [09:22] elena09, did you enable proprietary drivers? [09:23] ActionParsnip: I have Jaunty but they have Hardy and interpd [09:23] . [09:23] hey help me i feel stupid ^^ an hour ago i understood this proof. let p in N be prime. for any a,b in Z: p|ab => p|a or p|b. the proof then uses euklid algorithm to show that if p NOT | a, then there are a', b' in Z with a'p+b'a=1, thus enforcing p|(a'p+ba)b - i do not get, why p|ab seemingly implies p|(a'p+b'a)b ( | means "divides") [09:23] ...lol.? [09:23] wrong chan :> [09:24] Newbie-: could try the intrepid one. for better results try finding a jaunty repo with it on or compile (can get messy but is fun) [09:24] tiyowan: I've burned the cd, but I'm currently moving files off my hard drive, going to take about 30 min [09:24] how can I find out where a package installed its files? [09:24] specifically, where is zsnes installed [09:24] Knirgh, its because you are using a kernel that does not have support for the filesystem grub is installed on [09:24] Ryan_Delaney: due to the nature of linux it is not installed to a single folder [09:24] pudidis: That's great. Is your hard drive capacity 250GB? [09:24] Ryan_Delaney: dpkg -L pkgname [09:24] i serve all my web stuff out of /home/public_html but after adding a new user and they login via ftp (using ssh) they cant loging because it says they dont have permissions to view that folder. the folder is owned by bigmack83:www-data , and the other users are members of the www-data group [09:24] matrixblue: no [09:24] Ryan_Delaney, usually /usr/bin [09:24] Knirgh, use the 9.04 livecd [09:24] thanks kenyon [09:25] what is the correct way to enable horizontal scrolling with a touchpad in (K)Ubuntu 9.04? I know I can put the thing in xorg.conf, but since Xorg now autoconfigurates, shouldn't there be a better way to enable it (eg. with a shell command)? [09:25] the perms on the public_html folder are 775 [09:25] Ryan_Delaney: there is the binary you will use in /usr/bin but there will be libs and other files scattered all through the file system [09:25] Titan8990: i am using ubuntu 9.04 liveCD, my ubuntu installation is also 9.04 with ext4 filesystem [09:25] elena09, try doing that [09:25] matrixblue: No proprieatry drivers are in use [09:25] ActionParsnip: I think kenyon got it [09:25] Ryan_Delaney: linux doesnt install stuff to a single folder like windows does as libs and other files are shareable with multiple apps [09:25] I get taht [09:25] tiyowan: Yes, that's the one. [09:25] Knirgh, you said a second ago you couldn't mount the partition because it was ext4.... === root is now known as Guest80573 [09:25] Looks like the binary didnt install. Wine is next... [09:25] Ryan_Delaney: i'm just explaining the way linux / bsd allocate files [09:26] Yeah, I understand it, but thanks [09:26] Ryan_Delaney: np man [09:26] Knirgh, but it really doesn't matter [09:26] pudidis: Okay, looks like you've got a hard drive from Seagate. Ok, so we'll need to use the SeaTools that are on the Ultimate Boot CD. [09:26] ALOUWWW [09:26] tiyowan: Thanks a lot for your help. [09:27] so, is there a way to enable a touchpad to scroll horrizontaly without hardcoding the touchpad in xorg.conf in 9.04? [09:27] Ehh, looks like zsnes works perfectly in WINE [09:27] Knirgh, try it again from a new grub prompt [09:27] Knirgh, without the incorrect commands [09:27] Ryan_Delaney: theres snes9x i believe [09:27] tiyowan: I really hope it's just a problem with the partition being ugly on my drive. I was having trouble doing the partition and always getting an error from Ubuntu's live cd when I would try to install it. Then I defragged the drive and it worked. [09:27] Titan8990: in nautilus it says "unable to mount location" [09:27] !find snes [09:27] Found: zsnes, snes9express, snes9x-x [09:27] Knirgh, GUIs are lame [09:27] ActionParsnip: Yes, but I want to use zsnes [09:28] Ryan_Delaney: then you got some fun ahead of you [09:28] ActionParsnip: Why? it looks like it works fine in wine [09:28] can some one tell me why znes stoped working for me [09:28] pudidis: No problem. :) Yeah, I hope so too. Approximately how old is your machine? [09:28] Ryan_Delaney: try it is all i can ask [09:28] Do you expect it to fail? [09:28] Titan8990: this might be more detailed: http://paste.ubuntu.com/186342/ [09:28] About 3 years, now. 3 years in September. [09:29] Ryan_Delaney: in my experience yes. i always compile it personally but thats me [09:29] Welp I'm going to try it. [09:29] Now I just have to find where I put those roms... [09:29] Knirgh, looks like you may have problems with the filesystem === Mud is now known as Mud|afk [09:29] tiyowan: Sorry, about three years now. [09:29] Knirgh, sudo fsck /dev/sda5 [09:29] Ryan_Delaney, lemme know how is goes. I run a DS emulator though WINE and it works perfectly === Cueball|2 is now known as Cueball [09:30] does any one now how to fix wine i cant get desktop to come up [09:30] pudidis: Hard drive should be ok, then. Anyway, we'll see what SeaTools reports. If it's something wrong with the partition table, then there's enough weaponry on the Boot CD to hopefully fix that and get your Windows back. [09:30] chris__, how is problems wine and your desktop even related? [09:31] i am new to all this [09:31] Titan8990: Thanks, i now mounted my ubuntu partition [09:31] chris__: hello [09:31] chris__: did you use the wine repo to install it? You don't get a desktop with wine, wine lets you run win32 apps only. It doesnt give yu a windows desktop [09:31] tiyowan: Oh that would be fantastic. [09:31] Hello, How to do Wan Load sharing over multiple interfaces?? [09:31] I'm having trouble getting WoW to run on Wine... without any bugs [09:31] i cant get wine to load any exe [09:31] !appdb | zortec [09:31] zortec: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [09:31] chris__: if you want that, you will need something like vmware or virtualbox and a full install of windows from a windows cd === iqkyu5566 is now known as delgado [09:32] !appdb | chris__ [09:32] chris__: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [09:32] Please join and ask in #winehq for running applications under wine.

[09:32] chris__: make sure you use this version of wine: http://www.winehq.org/download/deb [09:32] well ok [09:32] night peeps [09:33] how about problems with znes === Cueball is now known as Cueball|2 [09:33] chris__ how about them [09:33] anyone know how to remove ipv6 from jaunty? [09:33] I have two AdSL lines and I need a way to balance my internet traffic between them. Is it possible? [09:33] chris__ there is no zsnes amd64 package in the repositories [09:33] is there anyone who should be notified of that btw? [09:33] bkraptor, ipv6 is built in to the networking stack of the kernel [09:33] i was playing a rom and now znes wont even open any more [09:33] I know that. any way to disable for an interface? [09:33] Ryan_Delaney: if you want to install 32bit debs you can install ia32libs [09:34] pudidis: Your Windows installation was working fine before you installed Ubuntu right? Didn't notice any unusual errors, blue screens, etc.? [09:34] Ryan_Delaney: then you can install the 32bit deb and it will run [09:34] why didnt you say so :P [09:34] tiyowan: No, none, no problems. [09:34] ActionParsnip: : Couldn't find package ia32libs [09:34] tiyowan: I had just finished the defrag and went straight to try again to install Ubuntu. [09:34] Ryan_Delaney: i'm unable to second guess every possibility, sorry [09:34] Ryan_Delaney: apt-cache search ia32 [09:34] I dont know what that means [09:34] Ryan_Delaney: one will be named li [09:34] *lib [09:34] !find ia32 [09:34] ia32-libs [09:34] Found: lsb-core, lsb-cxx, lsb-desktop, lsb-graphics, lsb-languages (and 3 others) [09:35] pudidis: What was the Ubuntu installer complaining about originally? [09:35] Titan8990: I still cannot install GRUB. any ideas? http://paste.ubuntu.com/186345/ [09:35] !info ia32-libs [09:35] ActionParsnip: ia32-libs is already the newest version. [09:35] Package ia32-libs does not exist in jaunty [09:35] sweet [09:35] Ryan_Delaney: there you go, you can now install 32bit debs using dpkg and --force-arch [09:35] No, it was already installed. [09:35] mi ridate il link per ita [09:35] Ryan_Delaney: or --force-all [09:35] sudo dpkg -install --force architecture [09:35] tiyowan: When I would try to do the partition resize I would get an error saying something like "Could not resize partition. Operation aborted" after it would not move from 0%. [09:36] Ryan_Delaney: you will need to run: sudo apt-get -f install to install its deps [09:36] how come ubottu didn't display it? :S [09:36] I did that, it didnt work. It crashes with segmentation fault [09:36] hmm [09:36] I didnt do that [09:36] sudo dpkg --install --force architecture [09:36] Ryan_Delaney: dpkg doesnt install deps, thats apt's job [09:36] hello, here is the proble on ubuntu server not working network, ifconfing see interface eth1 with corerct settings but only my machine can be pinged [09:36] 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded. [09:36] indus: its --force-architecture ;) [09:36] come faccio a parlare in italiano [09:36] ActionParsnip: damn ! [09:36] Knirgh, oh.... [09:37] Knirgh, you added a partition IN FRONT of the ubuntu partition i'm guessing? [09:37] indus: Crashes with segmentation fault [09:37] Ryan_Delaney: what crashes [09:37] zsnes [09:37] Titan8990: if "IN FRONT" is "after", then yes [09:37] chi mi legge [09:37] Titan8990: Oh. yes. Before and after [09:37] Ryan_Delaney: its a whole chock of fun getting zsnes nice. I suggest you find an alternative if you dont get anywhere, there are lots of alternatives [09:37] Knirgh, after? your ubuntu partition is the last on the disc... [09:37] No thanks [09:38] If push comes to shove I'll run it on virtualbox [09:38] Knirgh, anyways, thats going to throw off your grub config [09:38] Knirgh, you need to fix menu.lst on the ubuntu partition [09:38] Ryan_Delaney: maybe try the forums for znes install [09:38] guys [09:38] Ryan_Delaney: then have fun. I think a full VM just for zsnes is a bit much, thats a tonne of bloat [09:38] Knirgh, to point to the new root [09:38] I have a virtualbox already for other purposes [09:39] Not trying to be ungrateful here but it's better not to argue with people about what they want to do :P [09:39] Ryan_Delaney: its an option, not a very good one but heyho [09:39] moin [09:39] Ryan_Delaney: its healthy to understand there are alternatives and digging heels in is counter productive [09:39] I have 6gb of ram. I don't care about overhead [09:39] tiyowan: About 20 minutes left in the backing up. [09:39] Do you want me to paste menu.lst? i have no idea how to do that [09:39] and it's a snes emulator. not exactly a cpu intensive process [09:40] Knirgh, if you can't edit it yourself, i guess [09:40] Ryan_Delaney: sure, but running a whole VM is [09:40] ...is not a big deal at all and not a problem, whereas arguing about whether I should run one is a complete waste of time [09:40] Ryan_Delaney: you're talking about booting windows for the sake of a snes emu. [09:40] pudidis: The installer was probably complaining about a problem that was already present in the filesystem before. Running defrag enabled you to install Ubuntu, but I doubt it fixed the actual problem itself. It could be a problem with the boot sector. Definitely fixable. Ok, I'll wait. [09:40] No, as I told you before, I already had it installed for other purposes. [09:40] Ryan_Delaney: I'm just stressing there is a far better option [09:40] chi mi legge [09:41] Not really, since I want to use zsnes [09:41] tiyowan: Thanks a lot. [09:41] Ryan_Delaney: your call dude. i think its a huge bloat [09:41] Yes, it is my call [09:41] Look at it this way: I dont want to leave my RAM to go to waste [09:41] Titan8990: Just to clarify, i had a windows 7 install before, but overwrote it with XP. Sorry that i didnt mention it earlier http://paste.ubuntu.com/186346/ [09:42] is there a way to mute/unmute sound from the console? [09:42] Tbh I appreciate your help but I dont come here for a debate about this kind of thing, its very pointless [09:42] using default pulse driver [09:42] Ryan_Delaney: in linux its not, its used as drive cache to make your disks run faster [09:42] What is? [09:42] Ryan_Delaney: your ram [09:42] pudidis: No problem at all. Ping me when you're done backing up. [09:43] so my disk will run slower when I run snes? I'm supposed to care why? [09:43] This really annoying, every time I reboot I lose my audio... [09:43] Ryan_Delaney: if apps aint using it it will be used as cache, the cache size will change as you run more apps [09:43] Ryan_Delaney: i never said you did. I was telling you why your ram is not wasted [09:43] You are saying a lot of pointless crap that means nothing, frankly [09:44] Ryan_Delaney: you said you didnt want to waste your ram, linux isnt wasting your ram. Its all in use right now [09:44] I have audio in rhythmbox, but no audio in Firefox... odd [09:44] Lol, get help [09:44] Ryan_Delaney: and keep it family friendly, ops dont like swears [09:44] !language | Ryan_Delaney [09:44] Ryan_Delaney: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [09:44] Knirgh, use blkid and compare the UUID of your linux partition with the one in the grub file [09:44] Ryan_Delaney: Additionally, that's not a very helpful attitude to adopt when people are trying to help you. [09:45] Knirgh, dc7f9ce1-ea3f-458c-92e3-f3bbe2587829 [09:45] He's not helping, he's arguing with me that I dont want to do what I do want to do. [09:45] tiyowan: OTOH, should people in here be preaching to others what they should be doing? [09:45] Ryan asked "how do I do X?" not "should I do X?" [09:45] Titan8990: /dev/sda5: UUID="dc7f9ce1-ea3f-458c-92e3-f3bbe2587829" TYPE="ext4" [09:46] i need help splitting my harddrive, which only has windows installed on it (i'm on a dif hdd on right now), into partitions. [09:46] Knirgh, that is correct, and on that note I am stumped.... [09:46] fallore: gparted on ubuntu livecd? [09:46] back up your data... [09:46] !info gparted [09:46] gparted (source: gparted): GNOME partition editor. In component main, is optional. Version 0.4.3-0ubuntu1 (jaunty), package size 858 kB, installed size 3536 kB [09:46] Ryan_Delaney: can you not use gparted on an ubuntu install? [09:46] fallore: You dont want to edit partitions on a disk thats running your O/S.. heh [09:47] this OS isn't on the disk i want to edit, Ryan_Delaney [09:47] fallore: safer to run it off the livecd if you can [09:47] Ryan_Delaney: i wasnt teling you what you want to do. I was suggesting better alternatives to stress the system less, tats all [09:47] fallore, no, you can't alter mounted partitions [09:47] faller:All right, well then you can do it that way. Just unmount the disk and edit the partitions [09:47] fallore, if its on a seperate disc, go for it [09:47] ActionParsnip: Let it go dude [09:47] Titan8990: i'm trying to alter an unmounted partition [09:47] hello [09:47] i have no sound on ubuntu 9.04 with alsa, but the soundcard seems to be recognized, i made a test with alsa-info.sh : http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=9bdd347da567dcdc9be04d50cc6c9d8e72efae6d , does someone could help me to fix that ? [09:47] G_A_C: I doubt anyone is here is compelled to do something that they don't want to. :) [09:47] Ryan_Delaney: i'm not having you saying I did something i didnt [09:48] ActionParsnip: You're going to have to find some way to deal with it because I've moved on [09:48] i'm using hal and have an sd card auto-mounting [09:48] how do i make it read-write for users? [09:48] To fix the problem with no audio in firefox, I installed this package if anyone has the same problem: sudo apt-get sudo apt-get flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound [09:48] when it mounts [09:48] Ryan_Delaney: btw, regarding ram use etc: read this please: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1051144 [09:48] No thanks, not interested [09:48] Ryan_Delaney: thought not, ignorance is bliss eh [09:48] Titan8990: Maybe this is a hint, i cannot see my partitions in gparted, does this mean my partition table is messed up? [09:48] Yes. Now let's move on [09:48] go ahead [09:48] Knirgh, did you get a lot of errors with fsck when you ran it? [09:49] if im using raid 1, how can I see when one of the hdds fail? [09:49] my gparted isn't seeing my other HDD, how can i fix this? [09:49] Titan8990: about 5 that i accepted to fix [09:49] nevermind i got it [09:49] PointMan: mdadm if it's software RAID (I think) [09:49] Knirgh, run it again and see if the errors reappear, thats usually a dead give-away there is a problem [09:50] PointMan: if it's hardware RAID, then that would depend whether your RAID controller has Linux management tools [09:50] Titan8990: What was the command again? [09:50] is there a group i need to put my user in to allow them to read/write to a disk automounted by hal? [09:50] G_A_C: i was kinda hoping i could get an email or so, or atleast didnt have to check an utility every other day.. :) [09:50] GParted isn't letting me resize an unmounted hdd. It has a warning: Unable to read the contents of this filesystem! Because of this some operations may be unavailable. the filesystem is ntfs. Is there a way I can fix this? [09:50] Knirgh, sudo fsck /dev/sda5 [09:51] fallore: Do you have ntfs-3g installed? [09:51] PointMan, you could automate that via script, including mailing [09:51] PointMan: if you can use mdadm, then you could probably script it (ie a cronjob to run mdadm status, look for "failed", email you if present)? [09:51] ah cool guys, ill check it out [09:51] Ryan_Delaney: i dont remember installing it. how can i check? [09:51] G_A_C, you should never recommend mdadm when someone has a real hardware controller [09:51] Titan8990: No errors now. [09:51] G_A_C, only when they have fakeRAID :) [09:51] fallore: $ sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g [09:51] Titan8990: he didn't say whether he did or not, if you look, I gave two possible solutions === Cueball|2 is now known as Cueball [09:52] i like hardware [09:52] I'm still none-the-wiser as to what sort of RAID it is, so I've given both options :) [09:52] G_A_C, ah, I see [09:53] !ot | lotharn [09:53] lotharn: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

The file's permissions are "-rwxrwxrwx 2 root root " and I am root. Can anyone help me? [09:54] hmm, that netsplit has happened a few times today [09:54] When I say I can access all the other files, I mean I can read from them for copying etc. [09:54] did you miss my message because of the split, Ryan_Delaney? [09:54] fallore: Maybe, try sending again [09:54] Ryan_Delaney: I installed it but i'm getting the same error. Should i try restarting, or booting to a live ubuntu disc? Ryan_Delaney [09:55] I dont expect that restarting would help, but you could try the livecd [09:55] It's possible that the disk or the filesystem is damaged :\ [09:55] But I cant say [09:55] tiyowan: Okay, I'm done backing up.

[10:14] also why doesnt jaunty automount my partitions [10:15] whats this "Partner line" chocobanana talking about? [10:15] chocobanana, I may have to try to open the whole 8 gig in a hex editor and manually extract the hex for the images in that directory [10:15] NN-Tags: you will need a ppd file, or a native driver [10:15] mib_i2s467et, did you tell it to?

[10:28] taptu [10:28] tiyowan: There's also some information along with these error messages [10:28] Ersran9: hardware error or incompatibility [10:28] ooops [10:28] pudidis: What kind of information? [10:28] ah [10:28] forza milan [10:28] hey room [10:28] Ersran9: might be worth trying the alternate install CD [10:28] Ersran9: It's not an easy approach -- hit-or-miss. Did you burn the ISO at slowest speed? [10:28] oh, alright [10:29] hey cryptcritic [10:29] hey [10:29] mobi-sheep, not the slowest, but at 24x [10:29] Ersran9: See what ozzmosis say. I use alternative install disc myself and I find it better over LiveCD. [10:29] hi i'm installing lenny & i get this ata1 softreset failed (device not ready) what am i doing wrong [10:29] ah okay [10:29] thanks for your help :) [10:29] Ersran9: or more extreme things like an earlier Ubuntu version, or booting a different OS from CD (FreeBSD, NetBSD, etc) depending on how much effort you want to go to ;) [10:29] Ersran9: 24x is too fast. Burning at this speed can lessen the quality, skipping bits there and there. Burn at x4 (slowest). [10:29] tiyowan: Well, under each warning I get something like this: (this is the first one) 1 * HPFS - NTFS 0 1 1 27804 254 63 446687262 [HP_Pavilion] (The other one has similar information, and [hp_recovery] at the end [10:29] Undertaker: you'd have better results in a Debian channel, possibly [10:29] I was wondering does anyne know how to get adobe flash on ubuntu 9.04 [10:30] linny: not sure about the exact specifics, but you can always set up a cron job [10:30] okay [10:30] but [10:30] it keeps saying architecture not found [10:30] tiyowan: Also, below the bad relative sector warning, it says some similar information with what seems to be the linux partition [10:30] mobi-sheep: burning at 4x is often just made available by older media [10:30] Ersran9: Go for alternative disc. There are more choices there. Be sure to md5sum and burn slow. :) [10:30] pudidis: Okay. One moment. [10:30] o9oops i was to say 9.04 [10:30] and if you got a good burner and good media, burning at 24x isnt a problem [10:30] ozzmosis, If I can use fedora 10, which is fairly new, could it be incompatibility? [10:30] tiyowan: Shall I take a picture and put it up on twitpic or something? [10:30] Ersran9: could be, yeah [10:31] Ersran9: maybe even an errant BIOS setting [10:31] chocobanana: but it would end up uploading files that haven't changed on the server wouldn't it i was wondering if there specific software for this purpose [10:31] hi i'm installing ubuntu 9.04 & i get this ata1 softreset failed (device not ready) what am i doing wrong [10:31] pudidis: Actually, could you do that? It's really help. Do you see anything like "invalid NTFS boot"? [10:31] Undertaker: which one are you installing? a second ago you said lenny (ie Debian) now it's Ubuntu 9.04? :) [10:31] ozzmosis, but... well, I dont know, it shows this dialog "scanning disks" and then hangs [10:31] Ersran9: maybe toggle USB legacy devices in the BIOS ... I'm just grasping at straws though :) [10:31] g_a_c: /home/tempuser [10:32] ubuntu 9.04 [10:32] tiyowan: Not a problem, just a sec. I don't see anything like that, no [10:32] Ersran9: I thought you said it stopped when it detected the keyboard?

Ubuntu ISO? :o [10:35] otherwise I'm somewhat out of ideas, from your paste, and what you've said, I can't see anything out of place [10:35] G_A_C: i figured out what it was. I set chmod 700 /home [10:35] How can i look for a line in a file, and return only a section of this line? like, how can i parse output of fgrep thru gettok? [10:35] quizme: ahhh! [10:35] CoUrPsE_CoLlEcTo: awk [10:35] quizme: I never even thought of that, heh [10:35] Ta. [10:35] pudidis: Okay, this is a problem with the partition table. Hmm. [10:35] G_A_C: that's what was messing me up.... but why does the directory above affect the intended destination directory? [10:36] quizme: the x bit controls who can enter that dir [10:36] so if you had 711 /home, that would be fine [10:36] you wouldn't be able to do an ls on /home because of not having the r bit, but you would be able to enter the directory OK [10:36] G_A_C: do i need to have the x bit set on "/" as well ? [10:37] tiyowan: So the partition process itself failed? [10:37] quizme: I don't think you can set permissions on / as it's the root partition [10:37] pudidis: Your drive has an x number of cylinders and heads. (physically) But the partition table (basically, a file) is listing your partitions in a way that they don't "end" where they're supposed. It in the worst case, you could have lost all of your data. [10:37] G_A_C: i mean, does every directory above have to have +x or only the one above ? [10:37] quizme: every directory above [10:38] k [10:38] ::«][»:: ÇaFê ÃÐÐã SçRîpT LoãÐêÐ ::«][»:: [10:38] tiyowan: I see. Even for the recovery partition? [10:38] quizme: a missing x at any step would essentially be the end of the "chain" [10:38] G_A_C: geez. I never knew that. [10:38] G_A_C: k thanks [10:38] G_A_C: i'm sorted [10:38] quizme: you do now, you learn something new every day ;) [10:38] G_A_C: roots the owner, but setting permissions like 777 on / would be suicide [10:38] ozzmosis, Lol, that was extreamly simple, thanks for that. [10:38] G_A_C: yup [10:38] pudidis: Yep. [10:38] so i need to boot from usb flash memory. i'm reading https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromCForUSBStick but my problem is that it's now asking me to copy some files onto it from my system, and i'm not running ubuntu. is it reasonable to expect /boot/grub to be compatible between Debian 4.0 and Ubuntu? [10:38] (boot as in boot the installer) [10:39] hei [10:39] CoUrPsE_CoLlEcTo: no probs :) [10:39] koshari: yeah, I realise that, I always thought that / was always root:root 700 [10:39] <_dr> hi [10:39] and unchangable [10:39] tiyowan: Dang. [10:39] <_dr> is it possible to use different window decorations for different window types? [10:39] hdon if you are booting from usb you likely wont use grub but instead syslinux [10:39] pudidis: Nah, it doesn't necessarily mean that the data is lost. :) [10:39] How do I find out my ip address like in windows I would type ipconfig. I want to set up port forwarding for my router. [10:39] pudidis: I'm actually trying to think of the best way to fix this.

[10:40] any op hare ?/ [10:40] i have a analog tv tuner card which is nt detected by default so i loaded the module to using modprobe and edited file using /etc/modprobe.d/saa7134 but now its changed in jaunty [10:41] use the term in a live session and run update-grub === Cueball is now known as Cueball|2 [10:41] pudidis: It's just that there's a vital file on it which has some data which isn't exactly matching what's on your disc. :) [10:41] tiyowan: Oh right, that's good. [10:41] mac|gyve1 use the term in a live session and run update-grub [10:41] pudidis: Okay, tell you what. As of now, do you have anything important on this drive? [10:42] !list [10:42] This is not a file sharing channel (or network). If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [10:42] tiyowan: In the worst case, I can see myself reinstalling Windows. The only problem there is that I don't know where my CD with drivers is. [10:42] tiyowan: No, not really. [10:42] when I boot into Ubuntu, the GUI screws up and it wont show the login screen. last thing i did was manually change the resolution using 'randr -s 800x600' [10:42] any ideas? [10:42] koshari: oh i just discovered "boot.img.gz" in hd-media, can i use that to install ubuntu from usb flash? [10:43] pudidis: Okay...HP..I think best thing to do is use HP's PC Recovery Mode. [10:43] tiyowan: Alrighty, I'll give that a shot. [10:43] pudidis: I'm trying to find out whether that'll allow you to restore your hard drive to the way it was when it shipped. [10:43] http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/jaunty/main/installer-i386/current/images/hd-media/ [10:43] tiyowan: Oh, but to quit this testdisk, I can just switch off my PC? [10:43] pudidis: Yep. [10:43] WolfHack: see /var/log/Xorg.0.log .. you probably need to start with a fresh /etc/X11/xorg.conf .. but make a backup of the old one [10:43] hdon make a bootable usb install from the utility in >admin it will make the filesystem bootable itself , you just provide the iso [10:44] koshari: what is ">admin" ?

[10:45] WolfHack: I don't even have a "randr" [10:45] koshari: i'm not on ubuntu right now. this will be my first time trying it. i've already used fdisk to set up the partition table on my usb flash media [10:45] A[L]IF: why? [10:45] pudidis: Did you ever use that program from HP - Recovery Manager, to make a recovery disc? [10:45] Aero Shake is new In Windows 7 [10:45] me either this was what a friend of mine on rizon was asking about so i figured i would ask the official channel ;] [10:45] tiyowan: Gosh, no, I didn't. [10:45] ozzmosis nothing jst ask [10:45] Has anyone some experience using Infotec/Heidlberg printers on Ubuntu? [10:45] hello world :-) [10:45] hdon use the live disk, you will need to reformat your usb key to fat or fat32 anyway for syslinux to boot [10:45] good morning for us [10:46] jamieleshaw so , whats it do? [10:46] tiyowan: Well, I'm in HP recovery. [10:46] koshari: http://www.istartedsomething.com/20081103/shake-up-your-windows-7-with-aero-shake/ [10:46] koshari: what is a "live disk?" [10:46] jamieleshaw_: You don't use SHIFT + ALT + ARROW UP ? [10:46] pudidis: Oh, you're in PC recovery? Did you have to press a key like F11 on startup to get into recovery mode? [10:46] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JdV0sG6sFI [10:46] the ubuntu cd, you have a disc dont you? [10:47] no! [10:47] tiyowan: Nope, the boot program (GRUB?) gave me a choice of OS' and among them was a second copy of windows xp, which took me here. [10:47] jamieleshaw_: no trolling ;) [10:47] i just want to install from usb mass storage media [10:47] then how do you intend on installing it? [10:47] tiyowan, the recovery mode you will found in grup menu list [10:47] jamieleshaw_: You'll end up getting carpal tunnel syndrome from shaking all times. :| [10:47] In what way am i trolling [10:47] tiyowan, just press esc in init [10:47] easter_egg: Thanks. :) [10:47] * hdon considers going back to debian already [10:47] I'm confused [10:47] pudidis: Okay. What you need to is... [10:47] jamieleshaw_: posting a Windows 7 video here? what is the point? [10:48] tiyowan, but you will need many knowledge in bash programming [10:48] You asked what it did [10:48] jamieleshaw_: I didn't ask [10:48] jamieleshaw_: who are you talking to? [10:48] well koshari asked [10:48] pudidis: In Advanced -> Destructive Recovery. This will format your *entire* drive, and reinstall Windows and the original software that came with the computer. [10:48] hdon to install from usb you still need the iso [10:48] And im talking to who ever i slistening [10:49] pudidis: And *that* should fix the mismatch in the partition table as well. [10:49] That's all [10:49] koshari: no problem [10:49] jamieleshaw_: you need to direct your replies to the people who are talking to you [10:49] tiyowan: Hm, I'll poke around, but it gives me two options: Start hardware dignostics, and start pc recovery. I imagine I'll go with start pc recovery [10:49] jamieleshaw_: There are many compiz features you can use. Aero shake is pointless and stupid. :) [10:49] !compiz | jamieleshaw_ [10:49] jamieleshaw_: Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz [10:49] jamieleshaw just looks like a poor mans version of a compiz plugin to me [10:49] compiz is a lot better than aero is x.x [10:50] pudidis: Destructive Recovery will make your system exactly the way it was when you bought it. [10:50] tiyowan: Thar she blows. [10:50] It is not useless it's quicker [10:50] hdon you can use unetbootin alternatively to prepare the usb drive from the iso, [10:50] pudidis: Look at the bright side - at least your drive isn't dying. :) [10:50] !offtopic jamieleshaw_ [10:50] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [10:50] tiyowan: My PC needed a good sweep, I guess. [10:50] hdon, try live usb creator [10:51] hdon, https://launchpad.net/liveusb [10:51] tiyowan: Oh no, I'm a little sad that I've lost some programs, but like I said, it needed a good sweep. I just hope this works. [10:51] "live usb creator" sounds too easy [10:51] easter_egg i already suggested that. [10:51] jamieleshaw_, I happen to run windows 7 right now and I can even though I like windows tell you right now compiz has 10x the features maybe 100x and it's just as fast or it was for me [10:51] nvm then [10:51] ~~ [10:51] please press [Strg]+[W] [10:51] tiyowan: To be perfectly honest, I was trying to install Ubuntu for a job that likes linux and test around in it. [10:51] Strg? [10:51] hdon, http://www.programatium.com/pt/tecnologia/news.php?id=Create+Ubuntu+Bootable+USB+Flash+Drive+with+uSbuntu+Live+Creator+for+Windows (windows) [10:52] pudidis: Yeah, it happens. I think the most likely way the information in your partition table was corrupted was due to a failure in the partitioning process. [10:52] pudidis: You can use cygwin ? [10:52] easter_egg: why are you giving me this? [10:52] hdon, is very useful [10:52] easter_egg: i'm not using windows! [10:52] hdon what are you using? [10:52] koshari: Debian [10:52] tiyowan: It's a shame, but it's at least nice to have a fresh start. Plus I've got most of my files on a backup HDD, so it should be good. [10:52] hdon, you are creating usb live? are you? XD [10:52] pudidis: What mobi-sheep said. If I have to use Windows, I'll always use Cygwin. But an alternative option is, you could run Ubuntu inside a virtual machine in Windows if you want to do some tinkering around. [10:53] easter_egg: only for installation purposes [10:53] hdon then use unetbootin to prepare the key [10:53] *has ubuntu running in a vm machine* [10:53] pudidis: If it's a pure linux job, then you can use http://www.cygwin.com/ [10:53] virtual box is a good one for it [10:53] pudidis: A friend of mine lost 2 TB recently. [10:53] tiyowan: Hm, I'll keep that in mind. I wanted to test a board over null modem serial on the linux terminal [10:53] hdon, ok, the two links can help you (at windows or ubuntu) [10:53] mobi-sheep: Thanks, i'll keep that in mind. [10:54] koshari: Debian 4.0. why do i have to use some easy program to do it? this really isn't that hard, i just have to know what files to include === aprilhare_ is now known as aprilhare [10:54] tiyowan: That's awful. I felt the pain for awhile, but managed to at least get my music and save files out of windows before the format [10:54] tiyowan: I'm sorry to hear that your friend lost 2TB of something that's not his in first place. :X [10:54] tiyowan: Should take about 20 minutes [10:55] hdon because its not like installing to a hard drive as you use syslinux , its a compressed image like a live disk, [10:55] mobi-sheep: Dead- on accurate. :X [10:55] koshari: doesn't sound that intimidating [10:56] tiyowan: I'm just glad it hasn't failed yet. Heh. [10:56] what is the command to rename a folder??? === Cueball|2 is now known as Cueball [10:56] its not, its dead easy, its just the syslinux.conf file is not able to be edited by a test editor, a [10:56] is it possible to add wolfram alpha to a gnome panel? [10:56] aprilhare: you can add any launcher to gnome panels [10:56] tiyowan: I've read that it's possible to install the startup ubuntu onto a USb stick and just have the machine boot from it. Is that reccomendable? [10:57] pudidis: Indeed. Just wait until the recovery process completes, then power off the machine and go for a walk or something. :) [10:57] hi === Cueball is now known as Cueball|2 [10:57] aprilhare: type the web address (http://etc) instead of the command [10:57] aprilhare: I assuming you already know how to add to the panel [10:57] ozzmosis: i wouldn't make that assumption :\ [10:57] pudidis: A live USB. That's also good for testing things out. === eplawless is now known as eplawless_zzz [10:58] i'm doing some development, so sometimes I need to install some devel packages, please tell me is there a list of this devel packages somewhere ? [10:58] ozzmosis: i have added elements before, but nothing like this http://www51.wolframalpha.com/addtoyoursite.html [10:58] tiyowan: Hah, that's definitely a good idea, go get some fresh air. [10:58] aprilhare: actually my suggestion doesn't work! it works for Alt+F2 but not commands run from the panel. hrm :S [10:58] because now i have to search google and it feels kinda strange to me that i can't find it in some official place [10:59] tiyowan live usb is a little limited for some testing, i find VMs better for such actions [10:59] aprilhare: why would you want to go back to that specific page so often as to need a link to it? [10:59] hdon: the wolfram is very important to me [10:59] aprilhare: yes, but why addtoyoursite.html ? [10:59] anyone running Ubuntu on MBP 5.1 or 5.2 with no heat issues? [11:00] hdon: i was looking for a toolbar for the gnome panel like the ones featured there :) [11:00] isimiip build essentual? [11:00] hdon: I think he probably means he wants the HTML widget, on his panel [11:00] oh! [11:00] yes [11:00] koshari: Agreed. I'm still dual-booting XP/8.10. I still need to test 9.04 in VirtualBox first. As well as the Win7 beta. [11:00] rather than a link to the page describing how to add the widgets :) [11:00] aprilhare: you want this page http://www51.wolframalpha.com/downloads.html [11:00] aprilhare: I don't know of a way to do this, maybe one of the desktop widget engines (gdesklets IIRC?) can do it? [11:00] aprilhare: it looks like they do not have a gnome panel applet yet [11:01] hdon: yes... no gnome panel applet yet [11:01] aprilhare: if you are brave or experienced you can try to make your own :) [11:01] aprilhare: it's probably not very difficult [11:01] koshari: not really, i mean, for example i need mysql devel package, and i have to search google to find it's name [11:01] gdesklets - is it in the repos? [11:01] whats wrong with this 10 echo "$2" | tr -d '\15\32' >> "/home/users/$1/.ssh/authorized_keys" [11:02] !info gdesklets [11:02] gdesklets (source: gdesklets): Architecture for desktop applets. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.36-5ubuntu1 (jaunty), package size 2755 kB, installed size 5728 kB [11:02] aprilhare: Yup. See ^ [11:02] hmmm [11:02] and typically there is more than 1 answer (package name) and how can i determine the right one [11:02] สวัสดีครับทุกท่าน [11:02] i'd need a wolfram alpha widget then :) [11:03] aprilhare: http://www51.wolframalpha.com/downloads.html (Just a thought.) [11:03] Good boy [11:03] Sorry - this is not a ubuntu question, but I don't know where else to go. I'm using Ubuntu btw :P. Anyhow, I want to extract multiple 7zip files to an output directory - how can I do this? I tried: 7z -x *.7z -o but it's not working :( [11:04] mobi-sheep: unless i feel like running os x or vista that won't help me :) [11:04] or firefox. [11:04] aprilhare: Do you use Gnome-do? [11:04] Tyrath, why not doing it directly in a dir? [11:04] mobi-sheep: i have it installed however i tend not to use it [11:05] Malicia: because then I'll have to mv all the 7z files out of that dir :( [11:05] aprilhare i forget its there and prefer beagle anrate [11:05] smbclient -M does that command send messages outside of a network? [11:05] Tyrath: 7z x -o "/outdir/" \*.7z [11:05] ozzmosis: thanks :) [11:05] hi all [11:06] Tyrath: or 7z x -o "/outdir/" '*.7z' [11:06] ozzmosis: just a quick question is that 7z x or 7z -x ? [11:06] uhriventis: it could do, but a lot of Windows machines probably have the Messenger service disabled now, so your message may well not be received [11:06] Tyrath: x not -x [11:06] ozzmosis: ah k. bizarre. [11:06] Yes I know that [11:06] I was going to show my friend how to enable it [11:06] With XP you can still [11:06] aprilhare: http://do.davebsd.com/wiki/index.php?title=OpenSearch_Plugin [11:06] But, not vista [11:06] Tyrath: not really .. x is a command .. -x is a switch [11:07] I have a problem.. 20 days agoo my network worked.. now I have booted and it doesn't anymore.. The configuration of the network manager is ok but if I do a ifconfig it seems that all isn't configured.. I installed xen but maybe it doesn't matter.. can you help me? [11:07] ozzmosis: bash will not expand *.7z for you if you put it in quotes like that [11:07] hdon: I want 7z to do the expanding [11:07] zaxxxon: Pastebin the results of ifconfig. Wired/wireless? === DaZ is now known as klawesyn [11:07] ozzmosis: amazn [11:07] hdon: well, presumably Tyrath does [11:07] tiyowan: Alrighty, the recovery's done. Restarting to check that it worked. It did! It's going into windows. [11:08] wireless [11:08] ozzmosis: ah k. my understanding of linux is purely what I've made it up to be based on what I know :P. I know what the output of certain commands is but not really why they're structured the way they are [11:08] wait a second [11:08] tiyowan: Phew, well, thanks a lot for your help. It's better to have this than nothing. [11:08] hdon: unzip is another .. unzip '*.zip' will do internal globbing instead of the shell doing it [11:09] ozzmosis: like for example, all that %t %u etc. stuff I recognise, I can tell you what it is, but not why it's like that :P [11:09] ozzmosis: why do you want the program to do it? [11:09] pudidis: It's all right. I'm sorry I couldn't recover your Windows. [11:09] hi there, im trying to do: rm -r /home/adirectory but it says: rm: cannot remove directory `adirectory': Device or resource busy but how? its empty [11:09] hdon: otherwise if you do: unzip *.zip and you have A.zip and B.zip it will get parsed as unzip A.zip B.zip which will mean "look for B.zip inside of A.zip" [11:09] AdvoWork: there's probably a process open using it [11:09] AdvoWork: is it your own home directory? [11:09] hi all [11:09] !hi | frafra [11:10] frafra: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [11:10] What files are stored in /usr/share/menu/ ? [11:10] Tyrath: it's just stuff you pick up over time. %u format specifier for unsigned int. I don't think %t is valid. maybe for strftime()? [11:10] this is the output of the lspci [11:10] http://pastebin.com/m24e1142a [11:10] Hi. I added my VPN settings into the network connection manager. How on earth do you make it connect? [11:10] liamjfoy: what kind of VPN? [11:10] AdvoWork why would you want to do that? [11:10] ozzmosis: yeah, it refers to time in certain config files. I've done a bit of programming, so some of the config files make sense to me [11:11] G_A_C, Using openvpn. [11:11] I've done a dd on my external usb drive for about 100mb over 320gb. I had a ext4 partition, and I need to recover it. I've made a new partition table with a linux partition all over my hd (as it was), but I can't mount it, and I don't know how to try to recover it [11:11] liamjfoy: you should just be able to click on the network-manager icon, go down to VPN connections, and then click it to connect it [11:11] G_A_C could you send me a message so I know it works? [11:11] do leechers affect your upload capacity? [11:11] When I click on it it edits the connection detials. [11:11] details. [11:11] AdvoWork it may have hidden files in if and unless its your home dir you wont have permissions to do it , nad if it is your home dir why would you want to delete it? === Cueball|2 is now known as Cueball [11:12] ozzmosis: good observation. i generally use tar, i've never liked zip's invocation syntax. it seemed fragile. [11:12] liamjfoy: However, with my vpnc based VPN, I got an error with "no valid secrets"; https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-vpnc/+bug/360818 has a fix from Patrick Healy, which I applied, and this fixed my problem [11:12] how do I execute a bash script inside a bash script? [11:12] hdon: well plus it doesn't support unix permissions :) but it's popular in Windows, so we live with it [11:12] benc: bash filename [11:12] benc, just as you would normally [11:12] benc place it in your path and call it [11:12] frafra: When you dd a partition, the data is gone forever. [11:13] thanks [11:13] liamjfoy: you're definitely just clicking on the systray icon? and then on the VPN submenu, and then onto your VPN item [11:13] ? [11:13] ozzmosis: i haven't used windows for 7 years :) [11:13] mobi-sheep, I've overwritten only a little initial part, not everything [11:13] hdon where do you work, the moon? [11:13] ozzmosis: you have no idea how good it feels when friends or family call me asking for computer help and i tell them i no longer know anything about their computers [11:13] G_A_C, Oh whoops yes. Now it says service failed to start. [11:13] hdon :) [11:13] koshari: the company i work for does a lot of FOSS stuff [11:14] liamjfoy: oh, I don't think I can help you with that error, that's different from the one I was getting :( [11:14] frafra: You mean you halted a dd while it was in progress? [11:14] (they do run some solaris systems though) [11:14] mobi-sheep, yes [11:15] hdon: I've run freebsd on a server for about 10 years but NT4/2K/XP on the desktop until 3 weeks ago when I switched to Ubuntu. still dualbooting for some things though. [11:15] this is the output of the ifconfig [11:15] http://pastebin.com/m3d86933f [11:15] ozzmosis: s/dual boot/emulate :D [11:15] zaxxxon: Hang on. [11:15] ozzmosis: I'm still having difficulties :/ [11:15] ok [11:15] hdon: emulation's not good enough for what I use, sadly [11:16] ozzmosis: Incorrect command line [11:16] ozzmosis: :( [11:16] ozzmosis: actually, I think I know what's wrong [11:16] frafra: I don't know how one would rescue but there are something in the repo. [11:16] Tyrath: can you tell me what you want to do? I assume you have a few .7z files and you want to extract them all to the same directory?

I'm using the * to specify all [11:18] hdon it should detect the mounted usb device, [11:18] is it possible to create an a axception to few computers to not use password when connect to remote desktop? and other ones to use password. [11:18] Tyrath: but the shell is expanding * to file1.7z file2.7z .. you don't want that [11:18] koshari: it did, i just wanted to make sure that was correct [11:18] * hdon walks away while downloads occur [11:19] hdon *tick* and it will want the partitiion, so sda1 ect will be the target [11:19] ozzmosis: my files are like this 7z.002 7z.003 7z.004 7z.005 [11:19] ozzmosis: but they all start with counter [11:19] Tyrath: Just un7z the original file? [11:19] Tyrath: isn't that just one archive that's been split? 7zip will work that out itself === klawesyn is now known as DaZ === Cueball is now known as Cueball|2 [11:20] ozzmosis: I used the GUI version of 7z to extract the first of the 7z.001 numbers, will that mean the rest were extracted as well? [11:20] Tyrath: You're looking for a particular file. Find it and un7z it. [11:21] Tyrath: Yes is the probable answer. [11:21] Tyrath: you're really doing this the hard way :) [11:21] mobi-sheep ozzmosis: thanks. I'll give it a try [11:21] koshari, its not my home dir, its a folder within it, ive just checked, no hidden files either. anyideas? [11:22] no one? [11:22] ozzmosis: well if I'd use the GUI to do multiple files (which is what I thought I would be doing) you can see how it could present processing problems for the CPU [11:22] zaxxxon: Okay. What version of Ubuntu are you running? And did your wireless work before? [11:22] ozzmosis: I didn't realise 7zip worked this stuff out itself [11:22] yes my wireless worked before [11:22] ozzmosis: but yeah the extraction did seem to take longer than it should have :P [11:22] AdvoWork post the path again last time you posted a home dir, remember /home is not the home dir, /home/myhome is [11:23] zaxxxon: Okay. Are you using 9.04? [11:23] ozzmosis mobi-sheep: anyhow, thanks both for your help [11:23] ozzmosis mobi-sheep: i'll try the prog see what happens [11:23] ciao all [11:23] where is it written?

[11:26] koshari, theres a folder in /home/ called adirectory ie: /home/adirectory im trying to delete it yet it wont. theres no files nor hidden files in there. Could it be mounted or similar? how can i find whats using it? [11:26] AdvoWork: fuser /home/adirectory, I think [11:26] zaxxxon: With the underscore. lsb_release -a [11:26] AdvoWork GACs correct, thats a users folder, [11:26] it doesn't work that command [11:27] AdvoWork you understand that home isnt the home dir but /home/thesearehomedirs/ [11:27] AdvoWork: Run "echo $HOME" in the terminal --> What does it say? [11:27] koshari, yeah. so what does fuser /home/adirectory do? [11:27] zaxxxon: Try: lsb_release -a [11:28] AdvoWork: it lists PIDs of programs which are currently using the /home/adirectory directory, and therefore stopping you from deleting it [11:29] G_A_C, i tried that, it returned nothing [11:29] AdvoWork have you created a group or user called adirectory?

[11:34] koshari: thanks [11:34] Pici the dir is called adirectory going off earlier posts [11:35] koshari: I assumed that was just a placeholder name [11:36] Pici i would be checking logs on what happened on the file creation date/time [11:36] hi everybody I have installed the DNS in my ubuntu server but when I do nslookup 192.168.1.4 s the following message displays server can not find 4.1.168.192.in-addr.arpa.: NXDOMAIN if you have an idea please help me thanks otherwise good day [11:37] Rosanet can you ping it [11:37] Rosanet: sounds like you haven't set up your zone files correctly for your LAN addresses [11:37] HELP, how to enable USB autosuspension? [11:38] just guessing ... isn't nslookup supposed to translate hostnames into ip addresses ? [11:38] koshari:when i make nslookup mydomain.local it's ok but when i make nslookup 192.168.1.4 no [11:39] Pici, no its not :S [11:39] Rosanet: you need a second zone for the reverse addresses, it sounds like you're missing this [11:39] koshari, i think its something to do with a mount though somehow, can i check? [11:39] G_A_C: i configure all the zones [11:39] Rosanet: if that were the case, it'd be working ;) [11:39] Rosanet : try dig -x 192.168.1.4 [11:39] in the /etc/bind/named.conf.local [11:39] AdvoWork i guess you could check your fstab file [11:40] if I do "apt-get install kde", kde wont take over as my default desktop and ill get to choose at login what I want, right? [11:40] AussieGuy, kubuntu-desktop [11:40] AussieGuy: you probably want kubuntu-desktop .. then you will get a choice at the GDM login screen [11:41] AussieGuy yes you will be able to choose default and session WM in the gdm screen [11:41] AussieGuy: Note that kubuntu-desktop is -big-. [11:42] tiyowan: well, KDE is big, fullstop [11:42] 112mb...not that big [11:42] how to determine your resolution? [11:42] already got konqueror installed though that could be why [11:42] AussieGuy: it expands out .. still, not that big [11:42] AussieGuy: same [11:42] dsdeiz: xrandr === fophillipse is now known as fophillips [11:43] AussieGuy, ozzmosis: Well, it's not big by today's standards, true.

[13:19] hi all. [13:19] sipior, ozatomic oops sorry I mean 9.04 [13:19] wathek: Of that no one can give a definite answer, do you need any of the new features?

[13:21] bazhang: sure [13:21] wathek: They each have their quirks. There is a lot more info on the net about 8.04 problems than 9.04. I try to run all of my servers in KVM now so I can backup the image, upgrade and see what breaks for what type of applications I need on them [13:21] wathek: but I'd at least test out the livecd, that might give you some hints... [13:21] bazhang: and apt-get update [13:22] and upgrade [13:22] arand, I tested it, I installed it on a Mac Book air and 2 other PC [13:22] i 'm getting lost with ubuntu, i made a fresh install of 9.04, on the laptop i had to update alsa-base.conf for having sound on the laptop, once done,i made alsactl store and i upgraded the system, i still have sound, then after 3-4 shutdown/reboot , i have no sound at all [13:22] is the an msn messenger for ubuntu [13:22] s/the/there [13:22] lng, do you have some 3rd party repos in your sources.list?

[13:29] LukaszJ, clos amarok and oprn a terminal and type amarok then go to configuration see if it spits out errors [13:29] beli, this is just a guess, but some of the magic would be done by disabling X [13:29] Good morning boys and girls and joost_op [13:30] stevecam: erm....thats not turning it into the server edition....

AssultCube is lagging in single player, only 5fps. It worked fine with Wubi but not full install. Help? [13:50] helper: yes, as long as you ensure that the partition is not formatted at install (the default is not to format, iirc, but best to check). this is one big reason why a separate /home partition is strongly recommended. [13:51] sipior, this is so great [13:51] helper: thats what partitioning and mounting is ment for ;) [13:51] sipior, and the swap help the kernal to move files more faster and must be double size of the memory ?

[13:58] farciarz84: read the nag2 (network administrators guide 2) google for it [13:58] farciarz84: setting up a gateway can be done with something like "sudo route add default gw
" [13:59] farciarz84: oh, and tack the interface name to the end of that :-) [13:59] farciarz84 just the dns or gateway vi /etc/network/interfaces [13:59] unr3a1: sure...you can also give it an internal name...edit /etc/hosts for that [13:59] sipior: it won't work for me [13:59] unr3a1: i also recommend you to read the nag2 [13:59] Chousuke, ok. so i would need a seperate machine in order to setup a vpn? i currnetly only have a laptop you see.

[14:09] what is the support for ati cards these days? (I have nvidia now and it works well, but I am considering buying ati) [14:09] unr3a1: domain and search are generally local domain names. [14:09] sipior, ok, so I put the openDNS IP address in the nameserver option.... ohhhh... so I can put whatever I want in those [14:09] unr3a1: in other words, "man resolv.conf" ;-) [14:09] unr3a1: always use ips [14:10] indus: its by default on v4fl2 [14:10] ok [14:10] indus: its by default on v4l2 [14:10] ah it is entering the password just not showing i [14:10] s/i/it [14:10] beli: it worked since jaunty came out .. until a few days ago, i didn't change anything sound related.. unless an update did... I have a laptop that uses the intel_hda driver === SirFunk__ is now known as SirFunk [14:10] beli, always use ips for what? [14:11] indus: lemme bring to ur attention in worked on ubuntu hardy perfectly, only after upgrade this happens [14:11] devius: install a program called xawtv and adjust settings in it [14:11] ah ok, it doesnt work since jaunty....hmmm.........maybe some conflicts....check your logfiles [14:11] unr3a1: if you define a nameserver, never use a host name ;) thats paradox [14:11] How can i grep words seperated by wildcards from a file?

[14:11] alguem poderia em ajuda com o wine por favor? [14:11] beli, so I can leave domain and search blank then? [14:11] grep -im 10 the*but filename [14:12] hey y'all [14:12] anyone here use ubuntu on a thinkpad x61? [14:12] to return lines that have "the and but" in them? [14:12] Clooluss: in the nautilus preferences dialog [14:12] just wondering if the drivers work for sleep, hibernate, etc.. [14:12] beli, I am sorry for asking so many questions, its just I am confused now.... lol [14:12] erusul: THanks. Where is that? [14:12] unr3a1: thats why i told you to read some stuff.... [14:12] the problem is that I've removed the GStremer and it removes also gnome and everything almost [14:12] unomystEz: i think theres a 'thinkpad' specic forum section in the forums - but ive never used one. [14:13] unr3a1: askin questions and getting full solutions doesnt help you to learn [14:13] Dr_Willis_Arch: ok thanks [14:13] Clooluss: on any nautilus windows go to Edit>Preferences [14:13] what should I install to return the previous configuration? [14:13] devius: if that fails try compile ur own driver http://linuxtv.org/hg/~pinchartl/uvcvideo/ [14:13] How can i use grep to find "the and but" by asking it the*but* ? [14:13] kane77 just installing the latest ATI driver now for the 4850 [14:13] does Ubuntu Desktop provide basic driver support for most desktop functions? Ie, can I easily setup my USB/PP/network printer/ [14:13] i'm hoping it should be fine :) [14:13] CoUrPsE_CoLlEcTo: sorry, can you put an example of the file somewhere and tell what you want to extract....cant get what you want....you need to use a regular expression [14:14] unomystEz: yes [14:14] Guthur, let me know how it works then :) [14:14] erUSUL: nice [14:14] well it just finished, that was quick [14:14] Erusul: OK, got it, thanks. Seems like a strange place to hide it, I think I will submit a brainstorm to move/ copy it to preferred applications. [14:14] Well... i just wanna use grep to find a line that contains words seperated by wildcards. [14:14] will have to restart i think [14:14] the problem is that I've removed the GStremer and it removes also gnome and everything almost. How can I make that ubuntu will boot normally, now it's only console [14:14] Clooluss: it was for many versions in System>Preferences got moved dunno why [14:14] and if I want to replace my WM with openbox or Awesome, should I install Ubuntu Desktop then replace it? or is it better toinstall Ubuntu Server?

But sometimes it just stops working and nothing will recognize it anymore. Does anyone know what would cause this? [14:16] wellt he reason I'm switching to ubuntu is that I'm sick of other minimal distros like Archlinux and gentoo for the desktop.. I'm really hoping Ubuntu makes it a bit easier for me on the desktop.. such as getting sound to work, printer drivers, video drivers, etc.. [14:16] I raelly hope Ubuntu can help with this,, if not I'm afraid I'll have to switch back to Windows [14:16] unomystEz: Ive had very few issues with ubuntu and my hardware. [14:16] CoUrPsE_CoLlEcTo: regexp is really mighty....and it is useful to learn about howto use them.... [14:17] at the end of the day, I need to get work done not install new packages and screw around with fixes for sleeping, hibernation, sound issues, etc.. [14:17] unomystEz: most cases if its an issue.. its due to thehardware makers not releasing the proper specs, or being behind in their drivers.

I would check out the NFS server logs on the solaris system [15:19] fenn__, can you tell me how to do that? [15:19] neurobuntu Packaging is not really something we deal with in here often [15:19] fenn__: as in, it may be having sporatic trouble authenticating [15:19] i just want internet! lol [15:19] Jack_Sparrow, ok thanks [15:19] joanki123: traceroute hostname (or traceroute ipaddress) [15:20] So um ya, is it maybe cuz of me being on x64, that my bluetooth won't work [15:20] sirmdmonster could be yes [15:20] Jack_Sparrow, any other ideas why I might not be getting Internet? [15:20] well, T_T, that sux [15:20] lol [15:20] Vlet: i am not admin on the Solaris box - is there anything I can do on my side - it looks like automount cannot list the exports [15:21] fenn__, i get: Cannot handle "host" cmdline arg `ipaddress' on position 1 (argc 1)... and then the same on hostname [15:21] sirmdmonster: first thing to do is to google around and make sure your headset/phone does actually work with ubuntu [15:21] Jack_Sparrow, um... I wouldn't happen to have an Ubuntu installed firewall, would i? [15:21] hello using /etc/sudoers , i type under CMND alias Cmnd_Alias MYCMND=/usr/sbin/useradd then @ last under member of root i add kad ALL=MYCMND , user kad still when he u command useradd ,it ask for pass why ? thx [15:21] !firewall [15:21] Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Uncomplicated_Firewall_ufw), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI applications such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist [15:21] Is SATA drive sda and IDE sdb? [15:21] Hi, is there a way to install ubuntu over a previous installation..without losing any installed programs? [15:21] n0gear no [15:21] Jack_Sparrow, could that be why I'm not connecdting? a firewall? [15:22] but why am I here chatting then? ugh [15:22] I dont' know the exact headset, I'm borrowing it from a friend, all I know is that the headset is a motorola [15:22] joanki123: if you want web you may have to try some other things first to find where the problem lies - tracerout sends ICMP packets (same as ping) and can tell you if you are having routing problems [15:22] fenn__: before spending a lot of time on this, could you perhaps first find out if anyone else connecting to it is having trouble? Is it only the /net/whateveritwas directory that gives you trouble? [15:22] Aryaan If you created a sep /home that is easy [15:22] what would be the alternetive on ubuntu for : hdd sheriff , juzt-reboot , reborn card , deepfreeze , clean slate and the likes? [15:22] !home [15:22] ugh I solved it [15:22] Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [15:22] Could it really be this stupid? [15:22] Hi, I'm looking for a way to dim my monitor (just like automatically after 10 or so minutes with gnome-power-manager) from command line. It's a desktop, not a laptop computer. Using GnomePowerManager dbus method SetBrightness doesn't work (it says my hardware doesn't support it). Compiz plugin Brightness works well but only for active window and I want it to work on entire desktop. I guess Gnome PM uses this method because everything dimms except mo [15:22] use cursor ;) [15:23] Vlet: i can get to some hosts, and I can mount with the mount command - so I think it is autofs [15:23] I guess every time I login, I have to go to the firefox file menu and UNCLICK offline [15:23] what would be the alternetive on ubuntu for : hdd sheriff , juzt-reboot , reborn card , deepfreeze , clean slate and the likes? all tips are welcome! ( library setup ) [15:23] Anyone have a problem with youtube.com's main page closing down firefox after the installation of the 10.0 r22 flash plugin for x64? [15:23] yellabs http://linuxappfinder.com/ [15:23] Vlet: once I mount the auto mounter works just fine for all mounts on that server [15:23] hmm [15:24] Jack_Sparrow, does this mean I can upgrade the distro and still retain some programs not on the livecd? [15:24] I haven't yet, I've had that setup for like 2months now on my x64 jaunty [15:24] joanki123: there is a workaround for that [15:24] anyone use enlightenment 17 [15:24] kbrosnan, what is it??? [15:24] !anyone | merlin1 [15:24] please and thanks [15:24] my firefox works just fine [15:24] merlin1: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [15:24] Jack_Sparrow: i've got 1 IDE and 1 SATA installed in my comp [15:24] n0gear sudo fdisk -l last letter is L [15:25] So does anyone have a ps3 with Ubuntu, or any type of linux on it? [15:25] does anyone like e17? [15:25] damn just restarted [15:25] joanki123: in firefox type about:config find toolkit.networkmanager.disable double click to flip it [15:25] merlin1 Yes, It was a terrible experience. [15:25] terrible ? how [15:26] i like it ,very much [15:26] merlin1: i didn't like it [15:26] fenn__: not sure I'm of any help here... really just trying to act as a debugging therapist :) [15:26] in fact ,i am using it now [15:26] merlin1 Buggy, lacked support etc. But opinions and such are offtopic [15:26] it's a little buggy ,yes [15:26] it's still in svn:::: [15:26] Vlet: thanks for pitching in - i appreciate your help! [15:26] Hello everyone! Does anyone know how to get a mic to work in ubuntu 9.04? I have the vumeter opened and I've already tryied everything in the alsa mixer, nothing seems to work. I have a Asus P5VDC-X motherboard with onboard audio card "ADI AD1986A High Definition Audio 6-channel". I already download the drivers from the ASUS website but I dont know how to install them... [15:26] !enter > merlin1 [15:26] merlin1, please see my private message [15:27] hello using /etc/sudoers , i type under CMND alias Cmnd_Alias MYCMND=/usr/sbin/useradd then @ last under member of root i add kad ALL=MYCMND , user kad still when he u command useradd ,it ask for pass why ? thx [15:27] helper, you require a NOPASS: section in /etc/sudoers to not require a password for certain commands [15:27] e17 can use gnome programs,so everything is ok so far [15:28] Anyone have a problem with youtube.com's main page closing down firefox after the installation of the 10.0 r22 flash plugin for x64? [15:28] helper: and let's be honest: you don't really want to do that :-) [15:28] dantaum- I am currently trying to get my bluetooth headset to work on ubuntu jaunty x64, and I'm having no luck, so ya, your not alone lol [15:28] hatter243, i add kad ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL [15:28] sipior, yes but i'm learning :) [15:29] helper, [username] [hostname] = (all) NOPASSWD: [CMDALIAS] [15:29] maybe the gentoo folks can help - even if this is ubuntu, they seem to get down into the nuts and bolts more [15:29] helper, be mindful of those spaces [15:29] Jack_Sparrow: if I name the partitions in windows do i see the names with fdisk -l ? im having hard time to instal ubuntu to right partition [15:30] sirmdmonster, good luck with that, lol [15:30] n0gear Mixing ide and sata can cause havoc. Often creating a sep /boot will help [15:31] fenn__: that's more or less a requirement with gentoo. which version of nfs are you using? [15:31] so, who all here is using x64 OS's only? [15:31] i found this option for exports -maproot=root, but it doesn't work [15:31] so do i need 3 partitions? /root /boot and swap? === nick_ is now known as fatalfurry [15:31] skype compatable, video confrencing [15:31] <_nix_> hmm.. ERROR: 'DB5.0' is not a supported operating system. [15:31] <_nix_> hmm.. ERROR: 'DB5.0' is not a supported operating system. So no bastille for 9.04 yet [15:31] hatter243, i did like that: http://pastebin.com/m2cd5fe4c didn't work check =) [15:32] nogear, you can do it all on one. [15:32] nogear, but you must have / (root) [15:32] sirmdmonster, I am [15:32] Hi. Am using rdesktop on 9.02 netbook remix. When I use Windows Remote Desktop to access the target machine I need the command line option /admin. What is the equivalent in rdesktop, please? Thanks! [15:32] dantaum, sweet, I love x64 since Ubuntu 7.04 I've been using it [15:32] hello! i need info if the ati drivers for 4870x2 still dont work? [15:33] you can set up a swapfile, too. [15:33] n0gear: separate root and /home are a great idea. a three partition setup is common, and easy to work with. [15:33] sipior: client of server? [15:33] n0gear: A nice simple setup is 4 partition /boot, /, /home and swap. but you can make it as complex as you want. /var is a good location to have on it's own partition as is a hefty /tmp if you need a large scratch area... say for ripping/encoding dvd [15:33] dantaum- how long you been using x64? [15:33] fenn__: ideally those are the same :-) but both will be useful [15:34] is the chromium alpha actually working on64-bit for anyone? it gives me "aw snap" even on the splash page, but maybe it's because I'm on debian [15:34] !swap [15:34] 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 [15:34] can someone please help me install ubuntu on an usb stick? [15:35] !usb | tomtom11 [15:35] tomtom11, Lets do it [15:35] tomtom11: 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 [15:35] !usb [15:35] Question- Does anyone know how to, if it's even possible, to get windows messenger working within Irssi? [15:35] sirmdmonster: WHUT? [15:35] it is no_root_squash, it seems -maproot=root is used for freebsd version [15:35] tomtom11 If the installer does not see the stick, there is not much we can do. See the usb link and try to figure it out. [15:35] tomtom11, (ignore them, I'll help) You need a 2gb + stick. [15:35] !usb [15:35] sirmdmonster, I have Vista x64 and Ubuntu x64, the thing is I never used ubuntu a lot because I couldnt get my wireless adapter to work, When I updated to 9.04 it magically started to work, but now im stuck with this mic problem [15:35] lol the chat part of it? [15:35] helper, works for me with my changes http://pastebin.com/m98776e6 [15:36] sirmdmonster: check with #irssi, they've assisted me a great deal before [15:36] hi, is there a way to disable showing gnome panels when window is in fullscreen mode and i open, for example Preferences window for fullscreen app? [15:36] kk thx, nmvictor [15:36] sirmdmonster: you can use msn with irssi with the help of bitlbee [15:36] Hello, is there a package needed to get file transfer support on Empathy ? [15:37] helper, note: Cmnd_Alias has proper capitalization, is located BEFORE the "kad ALL =...." line, there's proper spacing. Now if you're user "kad" and on the command line you execute "sudo /usr/sbin/useradd" it does not require a password. Also note: if you're trying to "sudo MYCMND" that will never work. [15:37] dantaum- I am currently running dual-boot of Ubunut 9.04 and Windows 7 RC both x64, and the only prob. i got is about the same as you, my bluetooth headset wont connect [15:37] Anyone have a problem with youtube.com's main page closing down firefox after the installation of the 10.0 r22 flash plugin for x64? [15:37] ciao a tuttti [15:38] well I'll catch you guys a lil laterz, I'm gona check this other channel out... peace [15:38] cya [15:39] guigouuu [15:40] sipior: I am running ubuntu 2.6.28-12-generic on the client (the server is Solaris exporting) if that helps. [15:40] ed_debian: thanks, my usb disk is detected as sdc, but the install only detects sda & sdb which is my hard drive.. what can i do to solve this? [15:40] fenn__: yes, but what version of the nfs protocol? [15:40] hatter243, it work thx , so like this kad ALL : NOPASSWD: ALL (KAD Is the user, ALL = name of pc , and last ALL = all command can use right?) thx [15:40] sipior: how do I get that? [15:40] tomtom1, You can write a udev rule for each of your harddrives and your usb drive. You could unplug one of your (non-essential) harddrive while you create the usb drive. [15:41] tomtom1, Take your pick! I'll help if you want. [15:41] fenn__: which packages have you installed? can you pastebin the configuration files you've modified? [15:41] helper, hah, if you change that to "kad ALL = NOPASSWD: ALL" then username "kad" will never require a password to do any sudo command [15:42] i was chatting with someone here earlier about encrypting my network traffic when using public wifi. they recommended i use a vpn. would privoxy and tor give me the security i need and be an alternative to vpn? i only have my laptop you see and no other machine to run a vpn gateway. [15:42] hatter243, ya i just checking if i got it , thx alot :) [15:42] ed_debian: anything you recomend :-) btw, i tried unplugging all the hard drives and the usb was still not detected, the install didn't detect anything and was unable to install, although i can mount and view the usb drive [15:42] Anyone know how to fix evtouch crashes on Ubuntu (bug reports filed)? Also, anyone know how to use WPA enterprise with iwl3945 (bug reports filed)? Finally, anyone know how to fix the tcp_window_scaling issue without disabling tcp_window_scaling? [15:43] tomtom1, You removed the harddrives but the usb drive was still detected as sdc?? [15:43] tomtom1, More importantly you ran your system without a hd? [15:44] ed_debian: yes.. i ran my system without a hard drive.. i booted ubuntu live cd from an usb stick.. and am trying to install it on another usb stick [15:44] <== trying to get X-fi (Soundcard) running in Ubuntu 9.04. I have disabled ALSA and installed OSS, but no joy I think onboard sound may be the issue any ideas? [15:44] tomtom1: can your motherboard boot from usb? [15:45] ed_debian: when i removed the hard drive, using fdisk -l the usb was detected as sdb and i can mount and do file operations on it, but the install was unable to detect it [15:45] sipior: nfs-common 1:1.1.4-1ubuntu1 [15:45] is there a way to stop windows from opening maximized in the UNR version of ubuntu? [15:45] Vlet: yes.. [15:46] mercutio22: disable maximus [15:46] hello? [15:47] fenn__: what command did you use to mount? [15:47] tomtom1, Sorry bathroom lol === tomas_ is now known as wathever [15:47] tomtom1, Hang on I'll read what you said [15:47] tomtom1, try this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick [15:47] cabrey_, how? Do I have to uninstall? [15:47] tomtom1: it may need to be installed first. Live cd creates a virtual install in memory. USB install creation takes a bit of time on an installed system suggesting alot of files. Not sure what the mechanism is to get that job done 9internally to the app) but I bet it'll be just fine from an established system [15:48] anyone recommend an rss reader that they like? just for articles, not audio/video podcasts [15:48] mercutio22: you don't need to uninstall, just disable from starting up, System > Preferences > Startup Applications [15:48] cabrey_, thanks [15:48] fenn__: and what does the line in /etc/fstab look like? also, what errors are you seeing, exactly? [15:48] peeps[work]: liferea [15:48] tomtom1, According to the other if that little GUI program doesn't detect the stick there isn't much you can do to fix it. === cabrey_ is now known as cabrey [15:48] tomtom1, I don't know much of anything about that little app [15:49] tomtom1: Is the stick a vfat fs? [15:49] Hi, if I want to add some options to modprobe at boot time where do I do this? Where is modprobe.conf on ubuntu 9.04 [15:49] tomtom1, But there are ways to install manually (using cli and stuff) would you like to work that way? [15:49] peeps[work]: I preferr the Thunderbird built in reader [15:49] graelin: hmm.. the install can detect and install to a hd just fine, but can't detect the usb drive [15:49] guyvdb_: /etc/modprobe.d/ === wathever is now known as LuciusMare_ [15:49] hello [15:50] could anyone give me a tutorial,how to use rtorrent? [15:50] if i run it,i have no idea how can i make it load some torrent [15:50] ed_debian: i'm just a ubuntu newbie.. if you don't mind guiding me, i would like it thanks :-) [15:50] cabrey do i just add a file .conf [15:50] tomtom1, Are you using the Install to USB disk in System -> Admin or are you using the installer icon placed on the desktop? [15:50] v3ctor: cd /net/hostname/shares/exportdir [15:50] yes, you can name it whatever, preferably descriptive [15:51] can anyone help with ubuntu mic problem [15:51] fenn__: is that on the ubuntu/client side? [15:51] under skype [15:51] tomtom1: a usb stick isn't a harddrive. There is a bit to set on it for it to appear as a fixed bit. HP had a utility to set that. I think that is the old way to go about it, but you can't expect an apple to be an orange w/o some modifications [15:51] ed_debian: i used the install icon on the desktop [15:51] er fixed drive === LuciusMare is now known as LuciusMare_1 [15:51] tomtom1, Silly tomtom1 that's for normal installs. Go to System -> Admin and look for "Install to USB" === LuciusMare_1 is now known as LuciusMare [15:52] sipior: no line in /etc/fstab - cd /net/hostname/shares/exportdir [15:52] graelin: thanks.. i think i'm getting way more the i can handle..

[15:52] Hi, i seem to be having a problem. I have a USB Microphone, and most of the time it works just fine, everything recognizes it. But sometimes it just stops working and nothing will recognize it anymore. Does anyone know what would cause this? === Cueball is now known as Cueball|2 === Cueball|2 is now known as Cueball [15:52] LuciusMare: yes, what's your question [15:52] sipior, i read in book i can do sleep using cli how ? is't i do echo 5 > /proc/acpi/sleep ? like this ? [15:52] brb [15:52] helper: no, just "sleep" [15:53] fenn__: can you paste your automounter configs http://pastebin.com/ [15:53] helper, You can just run sleep 5 [15:53] Makuseru same issue [15:53] helper run man sleep [15:53] devendra: usb microphone? [15:53] who does ubuntu use for their website hosting? [15:53] fenn__: the linux box is exporting the filesystem?

[15:55] tomtom1, I am 100% positive that that app installs ubuntu on a usb stick [15:55] fenn__: sounds like an issue with your autofs config [15:55] guyvdb_: no, that is for loading modules at startup [15:55] devendra: Has the mic ever worked under ubuntu for you? [15:55] hello everyone, can some one tell me how to install ie6 in ubuntu [15:55] never tetsted it [15:55] noren: google winetricks [15:55] was using windows [15:55] noren See #winehq or #vbox [15:55] Mine works, and then sometimes doesnt.

[16:36] synaptic [16:36] mannafest To get live cd to run this often helps..At start or install press F4 and select safe graphics mode then press F6 and remove Quiet and Splash from the command line. If it still fails.. Repeat and after removing quiet and splash use the noapic acpi=off options before the "-- [16:36] then sudo dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig [16:37] Jack_Sparrow: ok thanks this really helps [16:37] np [16:37] disappearedng: might be some of the glyphs are swapped around. can you use them properly in a TeX/LaTeX document?

[16:53] i thought it was like cp -ln but guess i was wrong. [16:53] cabrey: it loads for me too but but when I trying to choose different sections in that site doesn't work [16:53] Jack_Sparrow: Ah ok, so (shortened) it would look something like: "tar -vacf /home/scott/configsALL.tar.lzma --exclude=/home/scott/configsALL.tar.lzma /home/scott" ? [16:54] yes [16:54] chasity: you want to make a "file" that when you cd it will tkae you to the folder, [16:54] *? [16:54] Jack_Sparrow: awesome. Ok thans a lot [16:54] sipior: defenitively no [16:55] dury: that website is suspicious [16:55] ScottG It pays to watch as it scrols in case you make an exclude error and the file grows substancially [16:55] its framing another site [16:55] LuciusMare: I need to make a short cut to another folder there. Like i have LAMP installed, i'm using a folder called Projects in my home directry for the files. i need to send a shortcut of it to /var/www/ [16:55] hey i am not able to get the right screen resolution...i dont get the 1024x768 which i need...i use 9.04..can anyone help [16:55] For those of you that have no idea what you are doing. Do yourselves a favor and just install Linux Mint. It IS Ubuntu, but with all the easy stuff that we repeat in this channel ad nauseum already done for you. Less questions for this channel, less headache for you. [16:55] fenn__: out of curiosity, does anything get dumped to logs when you restart autofs? [16:55] cabrey: the same problem? === PerryArsmstrong is now known as PerryArmstrong [16:55] Jack_Sparrow: Yea, I'll test this script a few times before I have it run for real [16:55] Hello, I'm having a problem where the GUI (in Gnome and KDE both) will not let me reboot the system since Jaunty upgrade; a reboot merely restarts X, but shutdown works as normal. I haven't been able to find anything on this problem by searching the web, any clues? Thanks. [16:55] dury: Everything loads for me [16:55] ScottG np [16:56] hey i am not able to get the right screen resolution...i dont get the 1024x768 which i need...i use 9.04..can anyone help === DaZ| is now known as DaZ [16:56] Jack_Sparrow: if my SATA drive was unformatted could that have been the reason? [16:56] PerryArmstrong: what resolution is it at now? [16:56] PerryArmstrong: I'm facing the same issue actualy [16:56] PerryArmstrong: I have an x60, and it defaulted to 1024, but I should be able to get higher [16:57] cabrey: click on productos, please... does it work for you? [16:57] hello, me and my neighbor want to use Lan cable to share folder, she use W xp instead of linux. the Q is do i need to do special settings to view the shared folder? [16:57] On multiple ocassions people here have suggested I use VirtualBox. I just read at Slashdot that Ubuntu "are backing" KVM. http://bsd.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1253031&cid=28176891 [16:57] What's the deal? [16:57] cabrey: is editing xorg.conf the only way to update the resolution, if "Display" doesn't show any higher options? [16:57] cabrey; 832x624 [16:57] elventails: yes, you can use xorg.conf to force a resolution [16:57] what package is networkmanager in? [16:58] cabrey: any package that handles doing that automatically instead? [16:58] Petsounds - you should be able to view her Windows shares if she shares them just as for other Windows computers. [16:58] jonrafkind, network-manager [16:58] both of you: type Alt-F2 gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf === pranka_ is now known as pranka__ [16:58] elventails: not that i know of [16:58] cabrey: flash 9 it seems not working in this site [16:58] thanks [16:58] cabrey: thanks [16:58] !mint > darthanubis [16:59] sipior: I changed nfs4 to nfs and it is working... I will have to see if it survives a reboot === greato is now known as Kaushal === Kaushal is now known as greato [17:00] fenn__: fingers crossed :-) [17:00] ccasket : does it mean she need to do special settings? or only the usual way to share folder (right click, properties, shared) ? thank you for your answer [17:00] i found it seems ln makes copies. but all i have found was ln -s which is a file. i need tro know how to do a folder.. [17:00] cabrey: do you think I should update flash plugin for firefox... or what? [17:00] petsounds: Usual way has worked for me in the past. [17:00] PerryArmstrong: put this in your xorg.conf file & change the virtual resolution http://paste.ubuntu.com/186639/ [17:01] oh solved the slow maximise if anyone is interested, I just turned visual effects off [17:01] guys, do you know of any bug in 2.6.29 where wpa_supplicant will fail to scan the ssid of a hidden-ssid AP? [17:01] dury: i have no idea to be honest [17:01] i don't usually deal with flaash [17:01] chasity: ln makes a link, cp makes copies [17:01] ccasket : okay, we'll try. thank you sir [17:02] chasity: mkdir makes a folder [17:02] cabrey; why virtual in it?? [17:02] cabrey: right, I see [17:02] petsounds: you're welcome, feel free to pm me if you run into trouble [17:02] i need a link(shortcut) but needs to be for a folder. [17:02] PerryArmstrong: see my pm [17:03] chasity: you can just right click the folder in File Browser, select "make link" === jozen is now known as thc\seek [17:04] Hey all, i'm trying to solve a GRUB problem. Background: i had XP and windows 7 each on seperate partitions, installed ubuntu on another one, then installed another instance of XP, overwriting w7. This made GRUB dissapear and now i'm in a jaunty livecd trying to get it back. This is what i tried so far: http://paste.ubuntu.com/186640/ [17:05] ccasket: where im making the copy to has to be admin [17:05] I'm trying to run motion (the motion detection package), but it keeps complaining "ffmpeg_video_codec option value is not supported" where X is wmv1, wmv2, mjpeg, mpeg1, mpeg4 and msmpeg4... any ideas? [17:05] Knightlust: grub --install? [17:05] chasity: what folder are you trying to make a link to? [17:05] chasity: ln -s will can create a directory link, but you may have to mkdir for the directory that will contain the link [17:06] grealin: grub: option '--install' requires an argument [17:06] /var/www/ [17:06] On multiple ocassions people here have suggested I use VirtualBox. I just read at Slashdot that Ubuntu "are backing" KVM. http://bsd.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1253031&cid=28176891 [17:06] What's the deal? [17:06] multiverse: VirtualBox is more userspace [17:06] Like parallels, eh? [17:07] I got it to work now. [17:07] KVM is a hypervisor i believe [17:07] it was me. [17:07] I iwas typing wrong. [17:07] A competitor to parallels, yes [17:07] hello. i have multiple internet connections, one is reliable but slow, the other is faster, but unreliable. i want to stream music on the reliable connection, and do everything else on the faster connection. possible? [17:07] Thanks for all your help everyone :) [17:07] chasity: that makes more sense. ok, just "cd /var/www" then "sudo ln -s /target/folder" will create the "/var/www/folder" link [17:08] tesseracter: broadly speaking, you want to look into "dual homing" [17:08] hmmm anyone knows any apt backup mirror for gutsy ? I really need to install some stuff and I can't upgrade that box now [17:08] ccasket, google awaits :-) [17:09] how do I get to xorg.conf [17:09] cabrey; hey i got 800x600 but can i get still better at 1024x768......i want to get the icons smaller in size [17:09] ccasket, is this a hardware, or a software problem? [17:10] PerryArmstrong: does 1024 768 show up at all? [17:10] cabrey; no [17:10] and what is in the xorg.conf? [17:10] 1024 768? [17:10] cabrey; actually 1024x768 works well on windows...so guess might be well with ubuntu as well [17:11] how can I make the desktop icons smaller - they're pretty big when I'm on my 1024x768 [17:11] cabrey; and i get a message before logging in that Ubuntu is running in low graphics mode.....error in parsing the config file [17:11] In the virtual resolution section of xorg.conf file, did you put "1024 768" [17:11] and I don't see the option in display->preferences [17:11] I can mount CIFS/smbfs shares using Nautilus, but I cannot using mount.cifs. What does Nautilus use behind the scenes? [17:11] tesseracter: both. you need at a minimum 2 network adapters, so your box can get two IP addresses. the rest probably depends on your streaming server software, i.e. can you tell it to listen on one IP which belongs the slow, reliable connection. [17:12] sipior: it works! [17:12] fenn__: awesome! [17:12] tesseracter: technically i should mention that you can do more than one IP on one interface...but that's not pertinent to your issue [17:13] Is there any way I could make it so I can tar some system files without being prompted for a password? I want to be able to use it in a script [17:13] hey all, any idea which codec package to uninstall to stop rythmbox from searching for codecs it won't find? [17:13] tesseracter: there are a lot of ways to skin this cat [17:13] mweichert: i know but i tried a bunch of things and that is what worked for me - I would prefer full PAM integration or Single-Sign-On [17:14] sipior: thanks for all your help [17:14] fenn__: no trouble, glad you have it working. [17:14] ScottG: if you don't have a right to read those files, you will not be able to tar them in a package [17:14] v3ctor: thanks for all your help [17:14] hi. I've got a MIO P360 PDA. can I get on the internet with it by connecting through USB to an ubuntu ? [17:14] ccasket, multihoming is pulling up more results... i have the 2 NICs, so its looking like an iptable solution "bonding" is another keyword that is working well. === progex is now known as punsu [17:15] tesseracter: yes, bonding is the other term used [17:16] hey all, any idea which codec package to uninstall to stop rythmbox from searching for codecs it won't find? [17:16] fenn__, _ I had single sign on working great in hardy, feisty, and intrepid - but jaunty refuses to work for some reason [17:16] 여기는 뭘 하는 곳인지.. [17:16] tesseracter: depending on how much you enjoy raw iptables wrangling, you might use shorewall wrapper to set up the rules [17:16] 다 영어네 켁 [17:17] !ko | punsu [17:17] punsu: 도움이 필요하시면 다음 채널에 조인하십시오. /join #ubuntu-ko [17:17] 땡큐 [17:17] punsu, /join #ubuntu-ko [17:17] ccasket, thanks. i can do raw stuff, but this is just a home entertainment box. i'll leave the iptables stuff on the servers for work :-P [17:18] mweichert: any error messages? [17:18] fenn__: mount error(13): Permission denied [17:18] Still curious if anyone else is experiencing inability to reboot, in Jaunty, where X restarts instead of the whole system. [17:18] Myrtti: I could normally sudo them [17:19] fenn__: IFS VFS: Send error in SessSetup = -13 [17:19] ScottG: and for that you need your password. [17:19] ccasket: file a bug, haven't had that problem [17:20] Myrtti: So is there any way I can automate that? [17:20] quit [17:20] ScottG: one thing you can do is set up a new system user, a regular user, but put sudo rules in /etc/sudoers so that the new user can view the files with no password. then put the script in that user's crontab [17:20] ScottG: if you are planning to do a script, then have the script ask for sudo password in the start? [17:21] mweichert: https://bugs.launchpad.net/samba/+bug/98658 [17:21] cabrey; it worked when i logged offf.....but then it came back to the initial state when i restarted [17:21] Myrtti: Yea true, but its a sync script that I will eventually probably run it in the middle of the night [17:21] Myrtti: I guess I could just put it in root's crontab? [17:21] that is interesting [17:21] ccasket, im well on my way--shorewall multi-ISP balance routing, with rules for only marked traffic to run through one of the connections [17:22] thanks [17:22] ScottG: one option, yes [17:22] cabrey: thanks, I just may do that... it seems an unknown/unsolved issue [17:22] Myrtti: ok, thanks [17:22] tesseracter: sweet, so shorewall has built in function to set that up? [17:23] mweichert: thats all i could find - perhaps someone else can pitch in [17:23] ScottG: there are advantages to doing it as a new unprivileged user instead of root - safer for if you later set up scripts to push/pull the scripts off the box with ssh keys, etc [17:24] I think I found a bug though I'm not sure what the cause... could anyone try to reproduce? [17:25] ScottG: if you go that route, the sudoers rules for NOPASSWD and certain commands (tar with the exact path to the files) are the key to solving the original problem [17:25] hmm. if u were to choose a linux dist besides UBUNTU.. would it be opensuse or mandriva? [17:25] quick quest [17:25] lightpriest_: sure, procedures? [17:25] ScottG: oops, that should have been "scripts to pull the archives off the box" [17:26] marcoSOFA, please discuss in #ubuntu-offtopic [17:26] arand, I believe it's in compiz... are you using it? [17:26] lightpriest_: Yea, albeit on 9.10, but let's try...

[17:32] cabrey: which package would you suggest filing this "Restart only restarts X, not the comp" bug against: gnome-power-manager, pm-utils or linux? [17:32] what verison of debian would you recommend me? [17:33] LuciusMare, #debian [17:33] not gnome-power-manager [17:33] Hi, is it possible to add testing repository for certain software only [17:33] so that I would have latest transmission but others would be standard [17:33] anyway to manually set screen resolution ? [17:33] pm-utils is just suspend [17:34] so i guess against linux [17:35] cabrey: thanks, i'll check open bugs filed against linux package in launchpad and go from there [17:35] cya channel :) [17:36] How do I use my tv-card in my system in ubuntu?

[18:42] hey can anynone help me with setting up some compiz theme im somewhat new to linux [18:42] hi ubottu [18:42] thanks [18:42] chaos2fu: File Browser > Network in left pane [18:43] bongbong1: ubottu is a robot [18:43] CybeRebel: it's probably getting information from some database or getting a cover image [18:43] Mow| google compwiz fusion.. there are lot of help sites out there [18:43] yes [18:43] i meant compiz [18:43] CybeRebel: ie song names, artist or such [18:43] bah i dont wana read... [18:43] PerryAmrstrong: According to xorg.conf's man-page, it sets the polarity of hsync and vsync. [18:43] reading is for nerds xD [18:43] but i dont have any local network! i want to do it over the internet? [18:43] "that little icon [...] that people were not noticing [it] in the first place" << wtf?! [18:43] chaos2fu: it depends on your network setup [18:44] ahh :) sorry im new to this, dont know anything [18:44] geirha; so what values should i place..i dont know about this [18:44] bongbong1: this is not a chat channel - it is a support channel - for off-topic - join #ubuntu-offtopic [18:44] Mow: we're not going to be your proxy for google [18:44] thought i had been hacked [18:44] ok, but if I want a folder on another computer over the internet mounted as a harddrive in my other computer, how do I do that? [18:44] !offtopic >bongbong1 [18:44] bongbong1, please see my private message [18:44] fine ill just do it the old fashion way.. === IRConan_ is now known as IRConan [18:44] Also another question can you run KDE on ubunto [18:44] Mow: feel free to ask questions if you come up with something you don't understand, though [18:45] Mow: sure [18:45] Mow: you can run KDE on ubuntu.. yes [18:45] Mow: of course [18:45] thank you all for the help :) HAIL the digital GODS :) [18:45] alright thanks [18:45] Mow: "kubuntu-desktop" [18:45] Mow: kubuntu - an entire distribution of ubuntu running KDE [18:45] CybeRebel: you're welcome [18:45] yeah you have to go into the aplications thin and download it right? [18:45] install /boot/grub/stage1 (hd0) (hdo)1+17 p (hd0,6)/boot/grub/stage2 /boot/grub/menu.lst ...failde [18:45] Mow: synaptic [18:46] chaos2fu: it's a rather uncommon need...there are a variety of ways.... which side is running Ubuntu, both sides? [18:46] crash: install /boot/grub/stage1 (hd0) (hdo)1+17 p (hd0,6)/boot/grub/stage2 /boot/grub/menu.lst ...failde [18:46] alright another simple question for someone starting with this wich is easier running KDE or compiz [18:46] KDE is an environment [18:46] erm [18:46] compiz is just the effects [18:46] I like how compiz looks and some of there setups [18:46] since when do "Bookmarks" have an extra submenu in "Places" ? [18:46] Ok i thought kde was effects too thanks for clearing that up [18:46] compiz and kde can go together [18:47] Mow: install compiz-config-settings package if you want to really get into the compiz tweaking... KDE does have its own effects which are flashier than gnome's out of the box [18:47] and is there a magic config key i can use to change it back too? [18:47] PerryAmrstrong: Me neither I'm afraid. Look for lines containing Modeline in /var/log/Xorg.0.log to see what the other modes uses [18:47] thanks cas yeah thats what I was talking about [18:48] I have compiz already [18:48] Mow: there are a number of different desktops, with their own look and feel, and their own favoured apps: like gnome, kde, fluxbox, etc... [18:48] But i was looking into KDE it looked pretty good [18:48] Mow, try this if you want kde http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/kde === jaco is now known as Yakoo === Yakoo is now known as Jako [18:48] Mow: if you've got a regular (gnome) Ubuntu install, you can install the 'kubuntu-desktop' package and it will grab all the KDE stuff for you and you can choose gnome or KDE from login screen [18:48] PerryAmrstrong: http://www.x.org/wiki/FAQVideoModes [18:48] Alright thanks ill just sit in here afk for a few minutes [18:49] any tip of a good FTP-server? [18:49] 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 [18:49] 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. I have also compiled the latest compat-wireless. No success. I am totally stuck. Could anyone lend me a hand? === Jako is now known as Yak0 [18:49] So in the synaptic package manager there should be a thing to download kubunto ? [18:49] !ftp [18:49] FTP clients: Nautilus (Places -> Connect to server), gFTP, FileZilla (for !GNOME); Konqueror, Kasablanca, KFTPGrabber (for !KDE); FireFTP (for Firefox); ftp, lftp (for !cli) - See also !FTPd [18:49] chaos2fu: proftpd, but make sure you read the docs and understand the config... and make sure all passwords are strong, firewall the box, all that good stuff [18:49] hello. can someone recomend me a non-firefox alternative for ubuntu desktop [18:50] i just need two different browsers [18:50] opera? [18:50] Hi, does anyone know how to find the subsystem vendor and device ID of my wireless card? [18:50] chaos2fu: proftpd can be a security risk if you have user accounts with weak passwords, you can get owned fast [18:50] it's pci-express [18:50] is it possible to get a Verizon pcmcia card working in ubuntu [18:50] cambazz: epiphany-webkit or opera [18:50] hello! can anyone tell me if there is now a working ati driver for 4870x2 to ubuntu? [18:50] Franczen I had the same problem did you look at your hardware drivers to make sure everything was activated [18:50] Mow: kubuntu-desktop [18:50] cambazz: wigglez, I have had luck with those .. [18:50] Mow: Of course [18:50] wigglez: yeah it should be === evanrmurphy_ is now known as evanrmurphy [18:51] Yak0: lspci? [18:51] ok ccasket, any other tip that wont be a security risk...? [18:51] Mow: you're looking for the "KDE desktop meta-package" or something like that [18:51] ok, I record a video on my tvcard with mencoder, and afterwards I can't hear any sound through my speakers [18:51] ccasket; i read it is possible. i found a guide on my card, but im not sure if it applies to PCMCIA or just USB [18:51] wigglez: it acts as a ppp device as I remember you have to setup wvdial to use it [18:51] how can I reset my sound device/devices without rebooting? [18:51] Alright thanks for all the help guys [18:51] basically, i have a card i plug into the side of my laptop. not usb. im assuming that is pcmcia (i have never used it until now) [18:51] franczen: that only gives the regular dev and vend id [18:51] last time i played arund with it 2 months ago it didnt suport on 3d things [18:51] hi, how can I have the console keyboard correctly localized? with debian was a matter of dpkg-reconfigure locales and dpkg-reconfigure console-data, but in 8.04 I have no effect [18:51] franczen, i need the subsystem ones [18:51] chaos2fu: tell us more about the video sharing and what you're actually doing... putting them on a website might be better [18:52] how in the world do you guys read all of these.. [18:52] ccasket; http://74.125.93.132/search?q=cache:0r4FYUP_-lIJ:linux.derkeiler.com/pdf/Mailing-Lists/Ubuntu/2008-02/msg02220.pdf+verizon+V740+express+card+ubuntu&cd=9&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us [18:52] that is the link in which i found my card. [18:52] I have no sound now, how can I restore my sound? [18:52] chaos2fu: it's a bit easier to get started with apache if you're new to server stuff [18:52] wigglez: I don't run the card, can't give specifics, just read that people use them myself [18:52] I some how removed my task bar completely for a theme in ubuntu using configuration editor (alt+F2) and now i want it back but cannot remember what setting I changed lol anyone know what it is? [18:52] wigglez: often those cards act as a USB device even though they arn't ... the device comes up as TTYUSB001 [18:52] ahh [18:52] Yak0: I think it gives all the infos, even the subsystem, no? [18:52] fccf ok thats what i thought [18:53] thats what i wanted to clarify. [18:53] okej ccasket, I have now installed ubuntu on a computer that will work as a fileserver... I want to access it contents from my other Ubuntu computer in the living room (mediapc!;-) without building a local network. I have 100/20 in broadband with a switch? [18:53] franczen, it only gives me 02:00.0 0280: 8086:4222 (rev 02) [18:53] not the subsystem id's [18:53] fccf; ill follow that guide then. im sure it will work :). thank you [18:53] chaos2fu: Without telling you you're wrong... why on earth not build a LAN? [18:53] manpoole: the gnome panel? [18:53] yea [18:54] i found many guides on it but it kept referring to USB when i thought it was PCMCIA. which is why i came here to ask heh. i learned something new i guess :) [18:54] manpoole: Do you have one at top of screen? [18:54] would it be much easier? [18:54] chaos2fu: in that situation you will save so much headache just putting wireless cards on each box and going that route [18:54] nope [18:54] How do I get ubuntu to ignore this check? Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local recipient table [18:54] manpoole: gnome-panel in terminal I think [18:54] trying to send mail from a rails app to my hosted email on the domain the webserver is on [18:54] thanks [18:54] wiggles: if you type lsusb with it plugged in you will see if I am right [18:54] now if i can only make it permanent [18:55] The main reason is that i have bad experiences about routers, with port forwarding and so on...now i have clean internet to every computer in house (5 ips) [18:55] chaos2fu: then you can use SMB to share the files, which is intended for LAN use [18:55] wigglez: ^^^ [18:55] ahh, I can't get my sound working [18:55] ok. well i cant at the moment. my friend is bringing my card now :) but i will stick around until then [18:55] it was working and now it isn't for now explained reason [18:55] any ideas? [18:55] but ok ccasket, i will follow your advice and buy a router tomorrow.. SMB? [18:55] shel/1 [18:55] oops [18:56] manpoole: save the session maybe [18:56] alright downloading the kubuntu desktop as that tutorial you showed me says [18:56] chaos2fu: it sounds like you are already on a LAN in your house then? so SMB shares should be visible to all computers on the same router. SMB=Samba=what you get when you right click in File Browser and Sharing Options [18:56] manpoole, type this in terminal rm -rf ~/.gconf/apps/panel then reboot panels will be back to default [18:56] chaos2fu, wow... I want broadband like that... :) [18:56] hello [18:56] but in the mean time i do have a problem [18:56] ill just look for gnome panel in gconf-editor or add it to startup [18:57] helo [18:57] how do I setup a static ip address on kubuntu? [18:57] chaos2fu: port forwarding shouldn't enter into it, you should be able to use default Gnome file sharing to make the folder visible to all machines on the LAN [18:57] ok chuck [18:57] lol kalmi [18:57] The "fusion-icon" package lets you hotswap window managers from a taskbar (even non-Compiz/KWin ones) [18:57] my ethernet card will not work. the card is detected, driver loaded, and even configured in gnome. but i cant get anything to resolve. === flashblind is now known as topgun17 [18:57] no i dont have any lan in my house, i have five public ips by my switch by my ISP...hihi ;-) [18:57] Mow, 5 of them :) [18:57] i've checked my resolv.conf and it is correct, but im thinking it is related to the hardware [18:57] chaos2fu, portforwarding is not hard... and we can help you with it... :P [18:57] wiggles: what does ifconfig give you [18:57] i have a problem with the flash (adobe) it says its the wrong arcitecture [18:57] fccf one sec [18:58] how do you guys do it im getting a headache already just reading all this o_0 [18:58] chaos2fu: wow, well I guess you'll need port forwarding if you want to use all those IPs when the router is in place :) definitely it's time for a LAN though if you want to share video between the two comps [18:58] guys? [18:58] wiggles: post to pastebin [18:58] Mow, turn off join/part messages [18:58] can some one help i need adobe flash on my jaunty but it says wrong arcitecture [18:59] hehe okej Kalmi_ and u all others guys...i will buy a router tomorrow (wireless hehe) and setup my own private network *crying, only using one IP then...*hihi...and if anybody else wants five IPs and fast internet, move to sweden hehe :-) [18:59] any tips on why flash player 10 is all flickery and whatnot [18:59] !flash | aaronvarghese [18:59] aaronvarghese: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [18:59] chaos2fu: your 100/20 is like 50 times better than what i have :( [18:59] tyvm Myr [18:59] good luck [18:59] i did it with deby packagfemanager [19:00] sory [19:00] how can I use the NTFS security?

[19:04] you can google for the terminal code to install flash im not sure it it works through [19:04] can someone recommend an advanced video-editor? there seem to be many (PiTiVi, kdenlive etc.) [19:04] hm im using ubuntu 9.04 is dont have directions for that [19:04] Lint01: NTFS is a filesystem - to use it in Linux you need to install ntfs-3g - [19:04] koichirose: which folder are you giving access to? [19:04] Yd what you need help with? [19:04] !tab | Mow [19:04] Mow: You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.

[19:05] Lint01: windows security .. you mean file permissions right? [19:06] brb guys [19:06] yes [19:06] okay..I have the 32 bit chroot running and it seems happy. When I run dchroot -d "/usr/local/bin/bcompare" it should go to the chroot and run the /usr/local/bin/bcompare in the chroot, right? I get the following errors? Do i have to aptitude a bunch of stuff over to the chroot guy? http://pastebin.ca/1445165 [19:06] koichirose, have you tried to symlink to it from new user's homedir [19:06] mirty [19:06] hello everyone [19:06] ru here [19:06] Lint01: In other words your users cannot access the data off the drive because everything is owned by root? [19:07] mirtyyy [19:07] ccasket, file management? [19:07] ok i updated my wireless drivers as well. wtf is aa RF-kill button for my wireless radio signal [19:07] ccasket: no, i have no idea how to do that. Also, I have to do it from the terminal [19:07] i dont see anywhere in here that specifies what opens folders in the places list [19:07] it says that my radio signal is disabled. but on the front of my laptop it is on [19:07] fccf: no, everybody has rwx access, but I want the NTFS file permissions to be mapped to Ubuntu users [19:07] wual: yes I think that one :) sorry in KDE right now not Gnome so I can't see it myself [19:07] folders open fine elsewhere [19:08] its just the places list after i updated to 9.04 [19:08] and i created a nother user and it opens fine for that login === lllll is now known as lol [19:08] hi.. [19:08] ah i got it the button is backwards for some reason lol === lol is now known as Guest29981 [19:08] wual: hmm I may have misunderstood your problem... but file management app should help with file associations if that is what is relevant [19:08] can some one help with flash [19:09] ccasket: they're not files. [19:09] Lint01: that isn't how it works... you could boot that NTFS drive and those permissions would carry over to a networked ubuntu... but ntfs doesn't have the owner:group permissioning that linux does [19:09] they're folders [19:09] I have installed ubuntu 9 64bit in one partition and AVlinux 32 bit on another partition..

[19:19] uuv, you have to reinstall the bootloader [19:19] uuv It wont show up, but can be fixed [19:19] after installing vista [19:19] Is it complicated? [19:19] you can install ubuntu but you have to reinstall grub in a contrived way and its more hassle from what i hear [19:19] Can I Disabling Join/Part messages in empathy? [19:20] Can grep search for partial matches? [19:20] uuv: you want to find specific how-to for your version of Vista to confirm it will work, but often you can install Windows second, then boot from the Ubuntu live CD and reinstall grub over the Windows bootloader that overwrote grub [19:20] uuv: if at all possible, install Windows first then Ubuntu second :) [19:20] what would I set fallback_transport to in order to have non-local users mail get sent to my google hosted mail (rails app and ubuntu using postfix) [19:20] mohan_ http://paste.ubuntu.com/186777/ Is a script I made to create a /boot on a cd, see if it has anything that will help you. Sorry I am a bit preoccupied [19:20] uuv: i just went over that issue (windows overwriting GRUB) and while it can be a little confusing to fix, it isn't hard and good guides exist. [19:20] Okay, thanks all =) [19:21] fallore Do you want to try something interesting? [19:21] ok.. thanx,, [19:21] I think I'll try running my games on Wine first, and if it doesn't work, then reinstall ubuntu and stuff. [19:21] uuv: my issue came from having two separate hard drives and an array of partitions. if you're running it normally then it should be easy. [19:21] Jack_Sparrow: always === eddie is now known as Guest39059 [19:21] fallore see the script I just linked to mohan_ [19:21] I'll look into those guides then, thanks :) [19:21] uuv: what games, we might be able to tell you if they are worth trying on wine in ubuntu [19:22] or if it's a lost cause :) [19:22] fallore You could reinstall windows and still boot right back to ubuntu with your mbr in hand [19:22] what module handles ipv6? my school's IT is too lazy to upgrade with our government alloted money [19:22] ccasket: Warcraft III [19:22] !ipv6 [19:22] For an introduction to IPv6 and information on tunneling IPv6 through IPv4 connections, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IPv6 | To disable IPv6 see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WebBrowsingSlowIPv6IPv4 [19:22] Jack_Sparrow: i already fixed that issue :P [19:22] That works :P [19:22] fallore I thought since you just did it you might like to see how I handled it [19:22] uuv, Starcraft ran perfectly for me with the exception of battle.net not displaying properly, I bet WCIII works [19:23] sure, i'll give it a look, Jack_Sparrow [19:23] Yep, i've heard that too =) [19:23] S33PlusPlus, I believe IPv6 is integrated into the Jaunty kernel [19:23] Just have to wait for couple of days till the disks arrive :) [19:23] fallore You run the script. it makes a cd with your /boot on it [19:23] uuv: WC3? you'll need a proprietary driver to run it [19:23] uuv: i've heard good things about running wc3 with wine. do you play dota or ladder (this is support-relevant) [19:23] Dota, actually [19:23] uuv: if those are the 2 important ones might be able to get away with virtualbox [19:23] join ubuntuforums [19:23] !appdb [19:23] The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [19:23] not for the games mind you [19:23] Crap, so it's not a module anymore? there goes my blacklist plan [19:23] just windows in general [19:23] uuv: do you use other 3rd party programs (LC, inventory+, banlist, etc?)

[19:29] b3rz3rk3r_, hit super space, what comes up [19:29] colonelqubit: ja danke [19:29] cabrey, when i call it with the key combo, i get nothing, then manually start it and try, and its come up first time === Skippy_ is now known as F2Knight [19:29] Jack_Sparrow, thanks [19:29] np [19:30] cabrey, im quite familiar with ubuntu, been using since 7.04.. but first time using 64bit, could this be the cause? [19:30] b3rz3rk3r_, do you have quiet mode enabled? [19:30] yea that could be, i don't think gnome-do is 32 bit [19:30] cabrey, as in it shows no icon when starting? yes [19:30] * 64 bit [19:31] I'll have to brag on the dev team: initially getting my 64bit machine to run was a breeze... [19:31] b3rz3rk3r_, disable that (make it show on launch) and what happens [19:31] !chroot [19:31] chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory.

[19:31] this is silly, but someone make sure my math is right: 1024000MB = 1000GB right? [19:31] yea [19:32] yes [19:32] thanks [19:32] fallore : not exactly [19:32] fallore, from binary to decimal, yes [19:32] lololad [19:32] lol wow [19:32] o_O [19:32] !lol [19:32] Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. [19:32] ops ... sorry fallore, it's correct [19:33] can gparted handle drives as large as 1.5tb? [19:33] fallore, why couldn't it? [19:33] fallore, yes, i have x2 of those and it has been no prob at all [19:33] should be able to [19:33] Kalmi_: because it's displaying the size as a negative number in a few instances. [19:33] fallore try the livecd of gparted, I have see this before [19:33] fallore, oh... that sounds like a no than :) [19:34] !gparted [19:34] gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php [19:34] hi, has anyone here the same problem with jaunty as i have? when i mount my luks-encrypted portable harddisk, i cannot copy anything of it to my computer (lots of i/o error), while the very same disk works fine under windows xp (using FreeOTFE). so it's not a problem with the disk, but with my desktop running jaunty. Before i upgraded from intrepid, everything worked fine as well. [19:34] fallore, those are both NTFS partitions tho for network compatibility, so im not sure about EXT3/4 [19:34] is there a reason not to install source package under the same path where the apt-get package normally goes? [19:34] is there a simpler smtp than postfix? [19:34] just want to send mail from my rails app out to my MX [19:35] jschoolcraft: sendmail [19:35] benc2, yes, traditionally user built packages do not use the same part of the filesystem so that the package manager won't disturb them [19:35] fallore: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gibibyte [19:35] b3rz3rk3r_, there is a 64 bit gnome do package available [19:35] b3rz3rk3r_: ot [19:35] b3rz3rk3r_: it's NTFS. [19:35] benc2, well yea, also you don't want your built package to conflict with the debian one [19:36] cabrey, great, from the repos? [19:36] fallore, then u shouldnt have a problem ;) [19:36] hello,i connected to another computer trough ssl - putty.How can i transfer files? [19:36] from the gnome do ppa it looks like [19:36] release 0.8.0 [19:36] b3rz3rk3r_: it just throws me off that it sees it as a negative file size [19:36] b3rz3rk3r_, https://launchpad.net/do/+download [19:36] ccasket:, cabrey: thanks [19:37] Is it possible to disabling Join/Part messages in empathy? [19:37] is it possible that i will have different (better) results from the gparted live cd than just using this ubuntu 7.04 live cd? [19:37] LuciusMare, check out pscp.exe or filezilla to do that from windows localhost to ubuntu remote [19:37] cabrey, the 64 bit gnome-do in the ppa used to be messed up... [19:37] fallore, make sure that u are using the most recent GParted is always a good idea.. booting off a CD/USb may also help as the partitions may need to be dismounted? [19:37] fallore Yes, drastically [19:37] oh,forgot to say [19:37] linux>linux [19:37] cabrey, thx, il give that a go now [19:37] not linux>windows [19:37] fallore, yes [19:38] Kalmi_, I have no idea I just saw it, but I don't have a 64 sysstem [19:38] LuciusMare, I like using Filezilla for that if a graphical client is desired. it is Linux native as well, great app [19:38] Jack_Sparrow: would you mind explaining why? if you know, of course [19:38] fallore It is only about 50 meg dl [19:38] fallore It will be a newer version [19:38] LuciusMare: if you have openssh on the server and you use GFTP you can setup gftp to use port 22/ssh to xfer files [19:38] LuciusMare, but if you like the putty suite, pscp = putty scp = secure copy [19:39] LuciusMare, yes, gftp is another gui option like filezilla [19:39] ccasket: i know it exists,but i dont know how to use it.i just installed putty,not anything more [19:39] so how can i use pscp? :) [19:39] hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii [19:39] i'm experiencing random freezes - is it likely to be ext4's fault? [19:39] mynyml: possibly check out the release notes [19:39] LuciusMare: I'd reccommend GFTP - easier to support [19:39] if I configure my wired interface under /etc/network/interfaces does that mean it will no longer be under the control of NetworkManager?

[19:41] greetings 'jackalopes' ..;) [19:41] LuciusMare, fccf has a good point - gftp has more users here than Filezilla. FZ is mostly useful as it is similar on all 3 major platforms. I'm looking at pscp for you right now [19:41] Hi, I'm having performance issue since I use Jaunty. Everything that is display related make other process slow or stop. [19:41] xyzzymaze: some people here may be using Intrepid Ibex, Hardy Heron, or other distros, so not quite [19:41] sebsebseb: ah .. I stand corrected, thanks .. [19:41] hey all [19:42] type 'pscp' without options, in a terminal, to see its syntax [19:42] wondering, anyone else having issues w/Evolution? Specific, it launches, checks mail for 3 secs, then just quits .. [19:42] How do I make it so I can manually configure my DNS settings without affecting DHCP? [19:42] LuciusMare, ^^ [19:42] Hey, can anyone help me... I downloaded the ATI Drivers and Catalyst Control Center for my graphics card... I got my resolution and everything set... but every time I turn off my computer or restart it, the settings get deleted... How can I fix it? [19:42] thanks for your help Jack_Sparrow, b3rz3rk3r_, and others :D going to burn gparted to a disc and see how it works. [19:43] but i would like to use pscp :) [19:43] hey [19:43] is there anywhere else that (hardy) update manager logs besides term.log, I can't get rid of "a problem occurred when checking for updates" [19:43] LuciusMare, I assume you are under windows... You should try winscp... It's a really nice GUI app for transfering files [19:43] it IS installed [19:43] Kalmi_: i am not,why do you assume? [19:43] Kalmi_, he's actually on Ubuntu :) [19:43] xyzzymaze: there we go someone on hardy [19:43] xyzzymaze: by the sounds of it [19:44] sebsebseb: thanks for pointing me at #ubuntu-bugs. Unfortunately I'm not getting much traction there. Would the mailing lists be more helpful? [19:44] LuciusMare, Putty is usually used by windows users, hence the assumption. Syntax for pscp would depend on what you are doing, which way are you movign the files? to or from your local box? [19:44] sebsebseb: `k .. I won't presume next time [19:44] !aptfix > jchoot [19:44] jchoot, please see my private message [19:44] jchoot That may be of help [19:44] colonelqubit: yeah maybe [19:44] can i get assistance with installing my ati driver this is my lspci listing http://paste.ubuntu.com/186800/ [19:44] ccasket: to and from [19:44] vary :) [19:44] does anyone know?

[19:49] HIHO ALL :) [19:49] ari5av, i think the rough guideline is wait at least 5 minutes, but practically speaking each hour might be a better use of your time than 5 minutes :) [19:51] jaunty, relatively new install. audio is intel IHC7, using snd_intel8x0 as driver. pulseaudio is installed and I have it selected. output is through my headphones, and sound works, it's just distorted - sounds like I'm listening through a tunnel. it sounds like I'm missing a channel [19:51] is there a tool I can use to plug an mp3 in and see if it's got a center channel that my audio system is ignoring? [19:51] because I have some stereo flacs that sound good [19:51] logout [19:51] ccasket: what are your settings in Gnome Sound preferences? [19:51] ;-) Ciaoo [19:51] and some that aren't [19:52] chocobanana, i'm not sure what/why you are asking? I'm not running Gnome === leonardo is now known as L30o0 [19:52] ari5av: what are your settings in Gnome Sound preferences? [19:52] erm, specifically? [19:52] ccasket: sorry, that was for ari5av [19:52] np [19:52] ari5av: you're running Ubuntu, right? [19:53] ari5av:with Gnome? [19:53] wouldn't be in this channel if I wasn't :) [19:53] yes [19:53] everything's set to use pulse. [19:53] ari5av: ok, can you change the input to Alsa? [19:53] ccasket,after your advice, i typed pscp it was not installed then i installed it using "sudo apt-get install putty-tools" it again showed the same error in the end and after that when i typed pscp it is showing some options [19:54] I can. it's something I've tried, and it doesn't make any difference [19:54] want me to humor you? [19:54] sure! [19:54] Hey, can anyone help me... I downloaded the ATI Drivers and Catalyst Control Center for my graphics card... I got my resolution and everything set... but every time I turn off my computer or restart it, the settings get deleted... How can I fix it? Running Ubuntu Jaunty (9.04) [19:54] sid_lug, yes, that sounds about right...you should also consider learning the standard "scp" for command line file transfer over ssh [19:54] ok done. [19:55] ari5av: is the sound coming from one channel on one or more apps? [19:56] i'm not sure what you're asking [19:56] hey... is it possible to copy stuff with SCP without overwritting the files? [19:56] ltcabral: use -i, it's interactive, it'll ask first before overwriting [19:56] ltcabral if you put it into a new folder you would be cerain [19:56] ltcabral, or make sure you specify a unique filename for the destination [19:56] but a new folder would be best [19:56] apt never seems to report a problem, just the update manager [19:57] but there are thousands files lol... do i have to choose to overwrite or not for every one? [19:57] ari5av: you mentioned the sound comes out from only one of the speakers, right? And is that happening with all apps or just one? [19:57] Is there a way of making a video dvd in ubuntu that doesn't take loads of hours? I tried tovid and DeVeDe, but both take ages! [19:57] no no, I think you misunderstand [19:57] I'm using headphones [19:57] homy not if you want quality, video transcoding should be expected to take hours [19:57] I can either plug them into the speaker output on the back of the tower or in the headphone jack in the front - soundwise, it makes no difference [19:58] I get nice balanced sound, except that it sounds distorted [19:58] ltcabral, your needs might be better served by rsync, which has dozens of flags for things like "don't overwrite if existing" [19:58] jthomas_sb: oh, I just want dvd quality, but if it can't be faster... [19:58] but it does happen with all apps. [19:58] what's the command line for kde control center? [19:58] ari5av, try turning down your mic boost [19:58] mic boost is off. [19:58] ari5av, and mic volume too.. i ge that [19:59] ari5av, not all the way, just like 1/2 [19:59] I don't even have a mic plugged in [19:59] :) [19:59] ari5av, that is irrelevant in my case.. might help for u? [20:00] ari5av: oh, dang, I just re-read your question, and noticed I was fixated in the (missing channel part), lol [20:00] ok then [20:00] Is there a (easy) program with which you can cut out bits (e.g. commercials) in videos [20:00] ari5av: right, is the sound distorting even with low volume? [20:00] ari5av, i get the same distortion w/ w/out mic plugged in.. its odd [20:00] ) [20:00] ? [20:00] homy 'just DVD quality' ? of course that is going to take hours [20:00] chocobanana: affirmative. [20:01] homy, try Kino for editing [20:01] homy, try Kino [20:01] basically what it sounds like is being in a room with 5.1 sound, and the sub's up too high and the center speaker's unplugged [20:01] can someone help me a bit, im trying to install VMware [20:01] that's the nature of the distortion I'm hearing [20:01] an editing app like KDEnlive or LiVES can do editing, but they'll not likely be 'easy' [20:01] ari5av: is the sound coming distorted from any app or just one or two? [20:01] any app. [20:01] mplayer, rhythmbox, audacious, what-have-you [20:01] paav1, what problem are you having? latest vmware server "just worked" for me on jaunty [20:02] * jthomas_sb has never understood how Kino works... [20:02] ari5av, mplayer too? [20:02] affirmative. [20:02] ccasket it asks me this: In which directory do you want to install the manual files? [20:02] [/usr/bin/man] [20:02] mplayer does its audio inhouse [20:02] ari5av: are u also using the Pulse Audio controls in the Volume manager? [20:02] actually whoa [20:02] paav1, accept all the defaults by pressing enter :) [20:02] then i click enter and i get this: The path "/usr/bin/man" exists, but is not a directory. [20:02] so that means there must be something wrong with the driver [20:02] since I switched to alsa, mplayer won't play at all [20:03] ccasket: i'm installing kino right now to try it out. (sudo apt-get install kino) [20:03] paav1 that is just odd.... /usr/bin/man is not the right path it should be asking for [20:03] I seek a greater nerd than myself. I'm having trouble configuring a wireless network with WEP, 'dmesg | grep eth' says "eth1: could not initialize WEP: load module lbm_cw-lib80211_crypt_wep" but I'm having some trouble finding it. [20:03] !X1200 [20:03] Sorry, I don't know anything about X1200 [20:03] what should i write in to get it? [20:04] paav1 - i personally would not use that installer, you should not have to correct it [20:04] anyone can work with rtorrent? [20:04] ari5av: I gotta go make dinner. Have a look at this in the meanwhile and see if it is of any help: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/sound-solutions-for-ubuntu-904-jaunty-users.html [20:04] paav1 it just worked for me when i downloaded the package from vmware site in March 26th of this year [20:04] !pulseaudio | ari5av [20:04] ari5av: PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions [20:04] !ati [20:04] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [20:05] moose: stop eating my nickname :C [20:05] ari5av: good luck! :) [20:05] Ducas, eth1 is wired... [20:05] paav1: is in /usr/share/man/ === Moose_ is now known as Moose [20:05] hmmm matrox still makes video cards? [20:05] thx for your help [20:05] paav1: /usr/bin/man is the actual man program used to display man pages [20:05] Hey, can anyone help me... I downloaded the ATI Drivers and Catalyst Control Center for my graphics card... I got my resolution and everything set... but every time I turn off my computer or restart it, the settings get deleted... How can I fix it? Running Ubuntu Jaunty (9.04) [20:05] check this out, this is with alsa selected instead of pulse in gnome sound prefs: http://paste.ubuntu.com/186824/ [20:05] i will try downloading newer version [20:05] !ati | Alex___ [20:05] Alex___: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [20:06] ccasket, cabrey: Do I have to use the "Trim" tab in kino to cut out commercials? [20:06] paav1 my version was VMware-server-2.0.1-156745.i386.tar.gz [20:06] ccasket i downloaded: VMware-server-1.0.6-91891.tar.gz [20:06] only one i found tutorial to install [20:06] anyone can work with rtorrent? [20:06] !vmware [20:06] usually, you would select the portion of the commercial and trim it out IIRC [20:06] VMWare is not available in the Ubuntu repositories. Consider using !QEmu or !VirtualBox as alternatives. Instructions for installing VMWare manually are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware [20:07] cabrey: ok, I will try. It said it has to import to "dv" first and that takes ages right now. [20:07] homy if you want to convert video, the fastest might be Handbrake-GTK or WinFF (both should be available in the repos) [20:07] cabrey: I've got the drivers and everything, it just keeps overwritting my settings when I reboot [20:07] paav1 it is a bad sign that your version was picking insane default values, I would highly recommend the newer 2.0, get the latest VMWare Server 2.0 and see how it goes... and follow Ubutto's link to the ubuntu specific tut :) [20:07] homy I don't use Kino so can't answer, sorry [20:07] cabrey: eth0 is wired. eth1 is definitely wireless [20:07] Alex___, try using the drivers through the Hardware Drivers app [20:08] why fight VMware, why not just use VirtualBox? [20:08] Ducas, are you using a manager for net connections (network-manger, wicd, etc) [20:08] jthomas_sb, he's been trying with an outdated version - it works perfectly for me with the current VMWare release [20:08] jthomas whats the site for it? [20:08] jthomas_sb: well, I don't really want to convert video: All I want to do is cut out commercials and burn it to dvd so that I can watch in a normal dvdplayer. [20:09] cabrey: I've tried them, but they don't seem to do anything. I'm using nothing but terminal commands over SSH [20:09] to burn to DVD requires that you convert to MPEG-4 [20:09] homy: use virtualdeb pretty easy [20:09] hi, does anyone have any idea why my gamepad isn't working, or working properly, with some applications, and yet works perfectly in others? [20:09] homy: use avidemux pretty easy [20:09] i just need to use windows somehow whats the best way? === Peter3_ is now known as iPeter- [20:09] how can i force rtorrent to recheck the torrent? [20:09] homy: sorry [20:09] walk to someone else's computer, paav1 ;) [20:10] I can't find "virtualdeb"? [20:10] virtualdub i think [20:10] paav1, just get the latest 2.0 vmware server. it is free to download and use and works perfectly with latest ubuntu === geo_ is now known as geo05 [20:10] homy: is avidemux my mistake sorry [20:10] i will try that then [20:10] paav1: depends on how much of Windows you need - you could virtualize with VMware of VirtualBox or KVM, or use wine if you just need a specific app [20:10] !info avidemux | homy [20:10] homy: avidemux (source: avidemux): a free video editor - gtk version. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 1:2.4.4-0.0ubuntu1 (jaunty), package size 3157 kB, installed size 8228 kB [20:10] that works also, avidemux [20:10] Can you also create video dvds with avidemux? [20:10] i just need to run one app [20:11] !wine | paav1 [20:11] paav1, What app? [20:11] paav1: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [20:11] homy: for that use devede or qdvdauthor [20:11] Ducas, what happens when you use sudo iwconfig eth1 essid "" key "" (insert where necessary) [20:11] paav1, Yes wine is almost definitely a better solution [20:11] its a forum poster [20:11] how can i force rtorrent to recheck the torrent? [20:11] paav1, Do you know what WINE is? [20:11] not yet [20:11] oh, erSul, thanks, but I just noticed my video doesn't have any commercials, so I only need to burn it as a video dvd. [20:12] how to veiw all* existing pacakges installed? [20:12] paav1, :) WINE simulates the windows API on linux. In layman's terms it lets you run windows apps [20:12] apt-cache something? [20:12] !clone | PastorKarr [20:12] PastorKarr: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [20:12] paav1, sudo apt-get install wine [20:12] no no [20:12] PastorKarr: aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' [20:12] PastorKarr: do that [20:12] Hi, though I've enabled bootlogd, the boot log messages are empty. [20:12] qdvdautho is nce but certainly very much made for creation of DVDs with custom menus etc; if you want it simple DeVeDe or KMediaFactory would do it pretty easily [20:12] homy ^ ^ [20:13] PastorKarr: aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' | less [20:13] hi, there appears to be an xchat disconnect exploit. can someone /msg me with the disconnect string? (permission granted) [20:13] PastorKarr: better this becouse it wont fit on a screen XD [20:13] k [20:13] minra: wrong way ;-) [20:13] minra: see your status window [20:13] jthomas_sb: is there something that uses a gui for configuring but creates something like a script for the command line that does the actual job that takes hours? Because then I could run that real cpu intensive thing on another computer (via ssh) [20:13] brb im om my iphone noa [20:14] i dont get it [20:14] i got kicked off undernet again [20:14] qdvdauthor tells you what it will run, but its a lot of steps so not a single script... [20:14] cabrey: 'Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) : SET failed on device eth1 ; Operation not supported.' [20:14] ok can you paste that agian please? I was on my iphone [20:14] woohoo...got it to work another way. How do I safely remove a debootchroot? [20:14] :) [20:14] LOL [20:15] jthomas_sb: oh. [20:15] hi, i want to disable the notifications i receive on the corner of my screen every time a msn contact logs in. (i use pidgin), how do i do that? [20:15] erUSUL, do you mind pasting that again please? I was on my iphone now im on comuter :) [20:16] Paulo39: Just go into Pidgin's Plugins and find the one about notifications [20:16] PastorKarr: aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' | less === EnziM is now known as foo_ === foo_ is now known as EnziM [20:16] hi, does anybody here have a special access account on porbb.org? [20:16] ty [20:16] Surlent777: ok, its done, thanks [20:16] hello,how can i make rtorrent quit after finishing a download? [20:16] Ducas, I found this, it is something about the key not being correct: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-wireless-networking-41/error-for-wireless-request-set-encode-8b2a-help-me-445696/ [20:16] Paulo39: np === EnziM is now known as EnziM_ [20:17] i cant use wine for this app [20:17] i get error [20:17] Setup has detected that the publisher of file 'C:\windows\temp\VSD86e.tmp\DotNetFX35SP1\dotNetFx35setup.exe' cannot be verified. [20:17] homy there is a script here (like, second post) that will convert any file to a DVD format (it says, at least). http://forum.mandriva.com/viewtopic.php?p=335715&sid=16f57226d0b79ae30b4c5e277dd4dbdd [20:18] but homy, DVDs have odd 'video_ts' folders etc, if you don't know what they are you may have a pain getting this going. === EnziM_ is now known as EnziM [20:18] !appdb | paav1 [20:18] paav1: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [20:18] you could also try the nautilus script avconvert for converting anything audio/video related...even rip the audio from flv files [20:18] LuciusMare, here remember google is your friend http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/wiki/RTorrentUserGuide [20:19] paav1, join #winehq channel ... sometimes there are workaround needed/possible for certain apps...it is offtopic for this channel at this point though, sorry [20:20] paav1, the #winehq guys should be able to help though :) [20:20] hi, does anyone have any idea why my gamepad isn't working, or working properly, with some applications, and yet works perfectly in others? [20:20] anyone using debootstrap to make chroot? [20:20] err thought I got rid of the hi [20:20] Surlent777, it would help if you give the model of your gamepad, and examples of what apps work and don't [20:21] ccasket: ok, Logitech Dual Action USB; working: FCEU, ZSNES; not working: Gens/GS, Project64 under Wine [20:21] Zsnes not working? [20:21] ZSNES working [20:21] OH I read that wrong [20:22] oh, and a Wine'd VBA takes some wrangling to get the right buttons defined as input, but after that works with them [20:22] jthomas_sb: If there is not anything for the command line, I'll try qdvdauthor and leave it running all day. (I wouldn't know what to do with the mpeg? files once I converted the video to that to make a dvd). [20:22] cabrey: this is ubuntu 9.04, there is no "/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/" directory, the key was taken direct from the configuration page of the router and is indeed 26-digits of hex [20:22] installed kdenlive. worked beautifully for one day, now it crashes on startup every time. === joshthecoder is now known as joshthecoder_afk [20:22] !eggdrop [20:22] Sorry, I don't know anything about eggdrop [20:23] Ducas, what happens when you try to use network manager? [20:23] I've tried everything I can find in forums. After deleting all the settings, it goes through setup again, then crashes. [20:23] Surlent777, if you are desiring to hack whatever needed to make it work, you can remap the keys maybe for those apps, 'xev' and 'xmodmap' are relevant [20:23] homy i'd say, use k9copy or qdvdauthor or kmediafactory to make the .iso DVD image. [20:23] Hi, i just installed the new ubuntu on my laptop. but i cant seem to enable the video driver for my intel video card [20:23] I'm using 8.04.2, does anyone know where on earth Eggdrop is installed [20:23] hi all [20:23] ccasket: I was hoping to avoid hacks, as this all worked fine in 8.10 =/ [20:23] !intel [20:23] 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.

[20:24] Surlent777, ouch, i hear that... is there a bug about the regression on launchpad? maybe someone has found a fix [20:24] Valpskott, could you be more specific? === SirDerigo is now known as mama22mama [20:25] ccasket: I have yet to try launchpad...preliminary googling has found little of value at this point [20:25] cabrey: version number? [20:25] I'm trying to execute some php on my web browser from my server and all it does is ask to download the file, I have mod_php enabled... [20:25] jthomas_sb: hey, I think I'll just use ToVidGUI as it seemed to work nicely (although it takes ages). Then I'll leave it running the whole day tomorrow. That is probably the easiest and least error-prone. [20:25] homy if you don't get an .iso file, basically when you go in the DVD burning app, you select 'create a new video dvd' and then put all the output files into the video_ts folder, and there should also be an audio_ts folder that will be empty. [20:25] The application Kdenlive (kdenlive) crashed and caused the signal 11 (SIGSEGV). Every time. making me angry. [20:25] Valpskott, aptitude show xorg [20:25] Surlent777, I too had a problem today that I didn't find anything in google, but browsing open bugs for my distro version under the appropriate category was very helpful - there are only a couple hundred open bugs on Jaunty for example [20:25] sporkboy which release? [20:25] you can quickly find anything relevant if it exists there [20:26] !info kdenlive [20:26] kdenlive (source: kdenlive): a non-linear video editor. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.7.3-0ubuntu2 (jaunty), package size 1285 kB, installed size 3940 kB [20:26] ccasket: ok, I see that it causes a boot delay, which is probably true...I should try unplugging this and testing that. Also, noted. I'll try that. [20:26] cabrey: thanks :) [20:26] sporkboy Is that the version you installed [20:26] hi, does anybody here have a special access account on porbb.org? [20:26] jthomas_sb: (see what I said directly above your last reply) & the guide you gave me wouldn't work I think, because I don't have mp4 but .rec (ToVidGUI seems to understand that format). [20:26] deetah Offtopic === cptblood is now known as colblood [20:26] Jack_Sparrow: but quite a good place to ask :P [20:27] Surlent777, good luck, and you could probably file a new bug on the regression if you don't find anything [20:27] that too. Thanks for the advice [20:27] homy i don't know .rec but that script was said to work for any format that ffmpeg supported [20:27] per a post further down that page [20:27] jthomas_sb, qt 3.5.0, kdenlive 0.7.3 on ubuntu 9.04 === mama22mama is now known as SirDerigo [20:27] but, regardless this will always take some time unless your source files are the correct type. just wait it out. [20:27] i guess I just drop everything for the chroot out of my /etc/fstab, reboot and then rm the chroot main directory? [20:27] jthomas_sb: anyway, I'll just try leaving toVidGUI running the whole day. Thanks for all your help! [20:28] I'm trying to execute some php on my web browser from my server and all it does is ask to download the file, I have mod_php enabled... [20:28] sporkboy not certain but i think any release above 7.0 needs Qt 4.x [20:28] any ideas? [20:28] (to bad video reencoding takes that long. (and good I don't have a blu-ray player)) [20:28] So, who's idea was it to compile pciehp into the kernel? If it's there at all? [20:28] mdunlap: if server is ubuntu, check "sudo tail /var/log/apache2/error.log" [20:28] jthomas_sb, it worked the first day. [20:29] oh right... lets see [20:29] hmm dunno then sporkboy [20:29] mdunlap, pastebin that sucker if there's anything relevant :) [20:29] jthomas_sb, also, typo, qt 4.5.0 [20:29] I have a gigabit ethernet ExpressCard. In 8.10, I can plug it in and it just works. In 9.04, I have to reboot before it's recognized. [20:29] I want to check if I have succsessfully reverted the xserver 1.6 back to 1.5.2, what do I type in console? [20:30] sporkboy what happens if you launch it from the CLI ? [20:30] why i cant hibernate my ubuntu 9.04? [20:30] Valpskott, apt-cache policy xserver-xorg [20:30] hi, i have installed ati drivers from ati site, and now my boot freezes, is there any way to do a rollback to the drivers that i installed? [20:32] jthomas_sb, everything looks normal except for "kdenlive(5521) Render::setSceneList: WARNING - - - - -INVALID PLAYLIST: " and " ccasket: it says 1:7.4~5ubuntu18 is installed... ?? [20:32] joaobmatias: your first mistake was using the drivers from the ati site. You should ave installed the drivers from the hardware drivers section in ubuntu [20:32] sporkboy how about 'sudo aptitude purge kdenlive mlt' and then reinstall them ? [20:32] Valpskott, that's what mine says too, and I've never touched it, so you might need to be more specific about what you are trying to do and how you did it. [20:33] jaoabmatias: you are going to have to reinsert the live cd and repair the configuration or do a clean install [20:33] magician0617, when i went to the hardwares drivers, it wont saw my ati :x [20:33] how can i repair? [20:33] do you know any tutorial for that? [20:34] jthomas_sb, Couldn't find package "mlt". However, the following packages contain "mlt" in their name: is it libmlt++1 ? [20:34] Valpskott, the very top line of /var/log/Xorg.0.log will tell you the version [20:34] sporkboy sudo apt-get install pastebinit && pastebinit /etc/apt/sources.list [20:34] I'm trying to get a d-link dwl g120 usb wireless card working with Intrepid.

[20:35] Valpskott, mine shows 1.6.0 when I do that [20:35] hello all [20:35] ccasket: I installed Ubuntu 9.04, I have ATI x800, so naturally I want it to run with the gplrfx drivers, so I uninstalled xserver 1.6 and installed 1.5.2... I think/hope... I do I check if I was succesfull? [20:35] RichiV, what kind of file archive? [20:35] ccasket: tar.gz [20:35] chuck_: thanks... I'll check [20:35] Valpskott, the open source drivers work for that card [20:35] Valpskott, if you've restarted X already, it doesn't sound like it was successful :/ [20:36] Valpskott: what worked for me was using 8.10 intrepid... jaunty is buggy [20:36] RichiV, "tar xzvf file.tar.gz" [20:36] ccasket: well, I've rebooted the computer and, well.. I'm using it now, chatting with you guys [20:36] ccasket: so ive already cd into where it lies... so now all i do is type in the name and you comand? [20:37] RichiV yes [20:37] thnx [20:37] yeah, no... it says X Server 1.6.0 [20:38] Valpskott, I'm not running ATI, but others are saying you might want to downgrade distro :/ probably easier than a piecemeal X downgrade... [20:38] Hi all. I just logged into my Ubuntu system, and strangely, Songbird has mysteriously and completely disappeared. as if it never existed. [20:38] IT's just gone. There's no record of it being installed at all as far as I can see. [20:39] ExAstris, what happens when you try to start it from the command line? [20:39] cabrey: command does not exist. [20:39] command not found, I mean. [20:39] Can anyone tell me what might fix a system that's hanging on startup with "Starting Bluetooth" whenever I boot with a d-link dwl g120 wireless card installed? I'm running ubuntu 9.04 [20:39] ccasket: yeah, well... I don't want to use 8.10 cause it's slower than 8.04 and 7.10 is faster still... so, thats why I wanted 9.04, cause it's fast [20:39] hey all how do i access my firewall settings?

[20:43] i would stay away from the janitor [20:43] i need valid cc [20:43] i need valid cc [20:43] until it was matured significantly [20:43] dankenstein: In terminal, type ufw [20:43] PastorKarr, XFCE is a lightweight desktop that might work well for your needs... I think Xubuntu or the Ubuntu Netbook Remix would be pertinent for you [20:43] has* [20:43] Allow: what? [20:44] allrghty then [20:44] ExAstris, apt-cache show songbird will tell you if it is installed or not [20:44] PastorKarr, Xubuntu is the XFCE Ubuntu version, and the Netbook remix is meant to run light [20:44] dankenstein: I haven't used FireStarter before, but I'm sure there is a GUI for it. [20:44] or find / -name myfile |grep -v "Permission denied" ? [20:44] my d-link dwl g-120 usb wireless card causes ubuntu 9.04 to hang on startup with the message "Starting Bluetooth."

[20:45] ccasket, how do I do that? [20:45] cabrey: (meaning it worked 24 hours ago, not I installed it 24 hours ago) [20:45] services, under system settings menu, uncheck bluetooth [20:45] cabrey: I've had it for some time, AND I've spent a lot of time configuring it. Where could it have gone..? [20:45] dankenstein: If you want a GUI for ufw, type sudo apt-get install gufw [20:46] ccasket thanks I'll try it. [20:46] do you know if i install backport and upgrade my kernel to the latest available, if i will fix my HAL problem ? [20:46] ExAstris, you most likely didnt loose your configuration settings [20:46] they are stored in $HOME [20:46] cabrey: well, I'll reinstall and we'll see - but what causes an app to just disappear like that/ [20:47] restarting now [20:47] i need valid CC [20:47] pls [20:47] ExAstris, it was definitely the janitor [20:47] cabrey: alright. thanks.

[20:49] what version of python [20:49] kre: depends on which version of ubuntu [20:49] ccasket I disabled bluetooth, but it's still hanging on startup. Any more ideas?

Could you give me directions on how to disable acpi and what that should accomplish?

For that matter, would you suggest I edit the script to run e2fsck on each system that is installed? [21:04] I remember something that is was possible to declare a default usergroup for a directory..

I think I'll leave that exercise to you [22:11] ok so insted of apt-get install xubuntu-desktop its xubuntu-meta? [22:11] just opened my gnome keyring. i thought i was meant to have a 'login' keyring, however i don't, only a 'default' keyring. is that correct? [22:11] Slart: installing that draws in the 'extra packages' he doesn't want [22:12] guntbert, no, these are the setting and things are the same = not ok [22:12] PastorKarr: sudo aptitude install xubuntu-desktop will do just fine [22:12] yes it says its 1400 MB after beingstalled === Guest86717 is now known as SirDerigo [22:12] boss_mc: xfce4 is a lot smaller than xubuntu-desktop [22:12] is the 64bit 8.10 good or am i just better with the 32bit i just want to get most out of my laptop [22:12] ?

[22:13] Slart: sorry, that was Myrtti who sent him the ubottu link... I take it all back :) [22:13] Does anyone know of any issues with Ubuntu 9.04 that would cause X to crash? [22:13] boss_mc: you're forgiven =) [22:13] LoneWlf, what hardware do you have? [22:14] clear [22:14] bah [22:14] * boss_mc wipes sweat from brow and breaths again... [22:14] I have working sound when X is not running, but when I startx, it stops. If I switch back to tty1, it works. Any idea why it wont work when I'm in X? [22:14] cabrey - which part? I have an intel m/b with an intel chipset and an intel graphics card [22:14] I am totally confused on the info I'm getting. OK: i have a 2 GB thumb drive with a cli instasllation of 9.04 on it, and I want a basic DE of either gnome or xfce, but both those packages installed say atleast 1.5 GB [22:14] !intel [22:14] VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation 82915G/GV/910GL [22:14] Ubuntu 9.04 has a known regression for some Intel graphics support.

[22:15] ty [22:15] yes [22:15] where shall I post that? [22:15] PastorKarr: try "sudo apt-get install xfce4" [22:15] id10t, Sorry had a phone call - Yes I'am using the restricted drivers. [22:15] k brb (im on irrsi with it now) [22:16] is the 64bit 8.10 good or am i just better with the 32bit i just want to get most out of my laptop [22:16] LoneWlf, pastebin [22:16] http://xwinman.org/ Has info for Pastor [22:16] shubbar: so you question was about openoffice really - sorry I misunderstood and am seeing the first time that the setting in gnome doesn't influence the setting on OO [22:16] LoneWl:does x crash intermittantly after u log in , resulting in u getting logged out? [22:16] Xodiac13, probably best at the moment to use either 8.04.2 or 9.04 [22:16] Xodiac13: how much memory do you have? >=4GB, go with 64bit <4GB, go with 32bit [22:17] jdu: someone told me so my video will work in 8.10 in wine to use this [22:17] beetle90210 : no login possible, as GDM is starting, the screen blinks 3 times and then I get a screwed up dual image of the boot-time ubuntu screen [22:17] cabrey : is that pastebin.com? [22:17] SLart: i have 4 gig [22:17] Xodiac13 Why not ask people in #winehq ? [22:17] Xodiac13, it'll also work in 8.04, just not 9.04 [22:17] I've installed a server from source [22:17] LoneWlf, pastebin.com or paste.ubuntu.com [22:17] how do I upgrade? [22:17] Xodiac13: then go with 64bit.. the memory and a small increase in speed when it comes to certain software is kind of the only difference [22:17] lonewlf: not too sure about that sorry.. my boss has the issue that i described ... [22:18] Slart: do i still get the same software and and stuff as the 32 bit [22:18] Xodiac13: yup [22:18] Slart: nice [22:18] fccf, I'm using the Nvidia restricted drivers - any idea's on how to get display back to normal - it's still currently 640X480 ? ? [22:19] but shubbar about that issue you could ask in #openoffice.org [22:19] freeatlast, can you use nvidia's tools? [22:19] freeatlast: sudo nvidia-settings - or install it [22:19] cabrey, Where is that listed? I have forgotten -sorry ? [22:20] anyway I gotta go - bedtime - good luck to you shubbar [22:20] freeatlast, see that fccf said ^^ [22:20] cabrey, Oh ok - will try that. [22:22] fccf, Got an error that said command not found. [22:24] freeatlast, sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings === Dalila_ is now known as Dalila [22:25] what's the difference between a primary and logical partition? [22:25] cabrey, Ok will try that. [22:26] i cant able to call in google talk why? [22:26] http://www.pcguide.com/ref/hdd/file/structPartitions-c.html [22:27] fallore, , generally, logical partitions are in extended partitions and you are not limited as to the number of them you can have [22:27] cabrey, Looks like it installed - probably need reboot correct? [22:27] hi everybody. i connected a new usb keyboard today. while starting my computer it always enters the bios setup. and i have no clue why. any idea? [22:27] freeatlast, probably not, the module is the one that would need rebooting and thats already installed [22:27] can i make call in google talk [22:27] jdu: if i've only got one partition (and free space, trying to make another partition for an OS), should i go with primary? [22:28] just installed netbook remix, how do I add an icon to home screen? [22:28] ruler: ask google [22:28] ruler, do you have flash installed? [22:28] something_, drag and drop [22:28] cabrey, Ok so what should I do check to see if I can change display higher? [22:28] cabrey : i have installed it [22:28] cabrey, drag and drop from where? desktop? [22:28] fallore: not much, really. In every day computer life.. you can have at most 4 primary partions.. unlimited logical partitions.. not sure if boot has to be a primary partition or not.. I'm pretty sure wikipedia has a good article about this [22:28] freeatlast, sudo nvidia-settings [22:29] something_, are you running the netbook interface? [22:29] cabrey, yes [22:29] fallore, probably the limit is 4 primary partition per hard drive [22:29] ruler, is any error message given [22:29] alright, i'll just go with primary *shrug* [22:30] something_, drag and drop an icon from another category to the initial panel [22:30] fallore, probably was in response to question, not to cast doubt on there being a 4 limit [22:30] cabrey - I ran into some issues pasting anything, this screen config is an odd one on me, so... I followed the second link and I'm trying the PPA fix, to _downgrade_... [22:30] we'll see [22:30] cabrey: the icon I want is not in other category [22:30] okay jdu. thanks [22:30] and thanks everyone else :) [22:30] something_, you want to create a launcher? [22:31] ubuntu suxs/leave #ubuntu [22:31] Maximilian-schro stuck key? [22:31] leave #ubuntu [22:31] cabrey: I installed emacs using apt-get, and itś not showíng up in my home screen, so I have to start it up terminal [22:31] !attitude > hacklab [22:31] cabrey: it is showing you have to install the google talk download client(windows only) [22:31] from that performance, i would guess hacklab's problem are clientside. [22:31] emacs is a console based app [22:31] chuck_ i dont think so. at least i cant notice any key to be stucked [22:32] ruler, Google has not released an official client for Linux or OS X, only Windows [22:33] ruler, you'll have to take up the issue with them [22:33] just upgraded to 9.04 and i gotz no sound, i have looked online and noting they say seems to help, anyone know what it takes? [22:33] ruler, or you could try wine [22:33] cabreg : thans === Uncle|Sam is now known as uncle|sam [22:34] just upgraded to jaunty, and i have no sound, help? [22:34] is there a difference between adding a partition at the beginning and end of free space? [22:35] fallore: yes [22:35] cabrey, Boy this really frustrating - I have it the Nvidia control panel open on another screen - but when I click on anything it justs hops to top of screen - like it does not respond when I click on a button - It shows I'm using a CRT but am using a Asus 19 LCD Flat panel - Which has been fine for quite awhile. [22:35] fallore gnerally at the beggining [22:35] thanks Jack_Sparrow [22:35] cabrey, Another desktop is what I meant. [22:35] fallore: nothing major.. but if you add it at the beginning of the free space your remaining free space will be at the end... if you add it at the end of the free space you'll have the left over free space between the two partitions [22:36] freeatlast, did you maximize the nvidia window? [22:36] ah that makes sense slart, thanks. [22:36] fallore are you trying to setup dual boot [22:36] that happens to me sometimes to... [22:36] can somebody gtive ubotu command for installing ati driver wiki page ? [22:36] fallore: but it won't affect the partitions.. they will work the same [22:36] anyone got anyidea why studio wont find my sound card/drivers [22:36] !ati [22:36] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [22:36] freeatlast, if you did, unmaximize it and try again [22:36] cabrey, I believe it is not maximized - will check [22:37] Jack_Sparrow: yes. arch linux and windows xp (which is already installed) [22:37] freeatlast, you can also hold down alt and click anywhere on the window to move it if that helps [22:37] fallore Please use the pastebin and show me your sudo fdisk -l or equal [22:37] thanks Jack_Sparrow [22:37] np [22:38] Jack_Sparrow: i dont think i can. i'm on a laptop for irc, the comp in question is @ the archlinux installer [22:38] Wondering if there is a safe way to convert my debian lenny server install to a Ubuntu Desktop install with minimal data loss. [22:38] just upgraded to 9.04 and i have no sound, anyone know how to fix that? [22:38] cabrey - no dice [22:39] fallore then I cant help much, I do suggest you create an extended and create a sep /home since you are working at the partition level now anyhow [22:39] !home [22:39] Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [22:39] kurtisnelson: backup, reinstall, restore backup? I don't know what will happen if you just switch repos.. don't do it if you value your data [22:39] LoneWlf, does X even start in low graphics mode? [22:39] anyone got anyidea why studio wont find my sound card/drivers [22:39] Slart: What would i need to backup? etc, home, var? [22:40] what is the difference between ubuntu and windows 7 [22:40] mona Please dont ask that here [22:40] cabrey - no [22:40] kurtisnelson: well.. I would save /home and /etc ...and of course any other directory where you might have stuff you want to keep.. /var/www or such [22:40] cabrey - it blinks three times and goes to that locked up, dual vision screen [22:41] cabrey - I managed to copy my Xorg.0.log into my copy buffer, but pasting it is so far a looser [22:41] How do i find out what processor ubuntu thinks I have? [22:41] cabrey - can I give you another link? [22:41] mona: normally I wouldn't just point people to wikipedia.. but for this question I think it's for your own good [22:41] Serraphyn: cat /proc/cpuinfo [22:41] hey [22:42] Slart ty [22:42] Serraphyn: and/or `uname -p` [22:42] Slart: MySQL stores in var correct? I might as well just backup the whole system and then copy things over [22:42] LoneWlf, yea [22:42] ok i have xfce4, how to start it? [22:42] LoneWlf, can you see if you can use the vesa driver [22:42] Serraphyn: of the two, /proc/cpuinfo is more detailed [22:42] Mion, the first cat thingy worked, the other gave me unknown, but thanks [22:42] hi, have a problem with my ssh connection, anybody who could help? [22:42] LoneWlf, stop using the nvidia one temporaryily, see if that helps [22:43] hi [22:43] anyone got anyidea why studio wont find my sound card/drivers [22:43] kurtisnelson: I don't really know where mysql stores its stuff.. /var seems like a probable place. If you have the diskspace just copy everything.. run the system for a couple of weeks and then remove the stuff you didn't need.. [22:43] cabrey - I'm using the intel one... I _think_... the alt link is http://mtdews.com/Xorg.0.log [22:43] i just installed ubuntu via debootstrap from another distro.

[22:44] is there a generic system administration utility for ubuntu (an equivalent to yast under suse or drakconf under mandriva) ? [22:44] cabrey - at least, I think I'm using the intel driver... I will try to force it to the Vesa one? [22:44] aerial combt simulator [22:44] anyone played it? [22:45] LoneWlf, don't you have a nvidia card? [22:45] ok i have xfce4, how to start it? [22:45] !games > tannersummers [22:45] tannersummers, please see my private message [22:45] LoneWlf, whoops sorry i mixed you up with somebody else [22:45] kurtisnelson: I don't really know.. it's not a supported/recommended way of doing it.. and that howto is pretty dated, source'o'matic hasn't existed for more than a year, for example [22:45] should have saw that... [22:46] Slart: I'll just do a backup first, and try it for kicks. [22:46] LoneWlf, if you reboot and at grub choose the recovery option, there is an option to try to fix X [22:46] Slart: Although now my backup TB drive won't even show up in dev [22:46] anyone got anyidea why studio wont find my sound card/drivers [22:46] kurtisnelson: good luck.. I have a feeling you'll need it =) [22:46] should i have a default.keyring or a login.keyring in my .gnome2/keyrings folder? === Cream is now known as Not_a_Wii [22:46] jposorski Are you running ubuntu and you added the studio options or you install ubuntu studio === kevor is now known as kevor[aw] === kevor[aw] is now known as kevor [22:47] studio was the first install should i have done an ungrade?

I have an Optiplex GX280 [22:49] could someone remind me how to log all commands and events going on on my machine in a terminal?? [22:49] PastorKarr Those are not helpful in a busy channel.

[22:58] hey! just upgraded to 9.04 and when i did i found i have no sound, anyone know what to do to fix this. i have searched online to find no real hope. so i cam here [22:58] mona: ubuntu got more hype than the rest, that's the main reason for it's popularity [22:58] ok that* worked [22:58] Flannel: and when I do that, can I just compile things from the command line? [22:58] Jack_Sparrow, what does aptoncd mean? [22:58] wat s the reason for increased bandwidth in ubuntu compared to weindow?? [22:58] Mion Not the hard work of those of us that support it or anything like that.. [22:58] Mion: mona that and the community supporting it is pretty huge.

Not flickering, Freezing *confused with 9.04* [23:02] ah [23:02] I currently have many VM's running in vmware and would like to switch them to Ubuntu.

[23:03] I'd like to have 8.04.2 with the latest updates but I did not find any solution to stop freezing. [23:03] I've a problem with rtorrent, the following: [23:04] whats the code for flash player install in terminal [23:04] does anyone know how to disable the kernel msg "possible SYN flooding on port xxxx.

[23:04] Eternaut4 go to #rtorrent [23:04] when I shut it down, and then I start it up again, all the torrents that where been downloaded disappear [23:04] Eternaut4 maybe youre not using a session dir [23:04] Treyh: oh..

I only have 6GB left though in /home [23:54] I'm on gnome [23:54] guys would you recommend 64 bit or 32 bit? can someone tell me disadvantages of 64 bit over 32? I have AMD 64 bit architecture but I am little hesistant to install 64 bit without some knowledge. [23:54] infomomo: i understand what you want to do, just not why [23:54] I think I made the /home dir too small for my purposes [23:54] ubuntu: go for 64bit [23:54] ubuntu: how much ram do you have? [23:54] aliciapg: The ubuntu repositories ... deb install files ... loading sh files willy nilly of the net can be very unwise ... check out sauerbraten if you want to have some fun [23:54] zanff, Did you open System -> Admin -> update manager? [23:54] fccf: oh [23:55] zortec: you can resize partitions (with limitations) in gparted [23:55] zortec, What does your partitions look like? What are your "purposes" [23:55] ubuntu: the possible advantages of 64bit outadvantages the possible downsides [23:55] jrib: do you know which file ? [23:55] jrib: i have 4gb, 3 core processor [23:55] yes [23:55] ubuntu: 64bit then [23:55] infomomo: no [23:55] jrib, mion thank you [23:55] got it [23:55] zanff, At the top do you see "Distrobution Upgrade?" [23:55] fccf: well this is for a commercial version of wine basically [23:55] is written in another language [23:55] zanff, Please begin your posts with my name it's easier for me to catch them that way [23:55] hi [23:56] ed_debian: I wanted to do a bit of gaming in WoW... so I created a /home partition (20GB), swap (3GB) and root (10GB) [23:56] anyway i think that I got it [23:56] guys. is it possible to automatically connect to a network share when i'm on a certain wlan? [23:56] zanff, ...Do you speak that other language? [23:56] ed_debian: ok [23:56] my wifi card only gives me internet like for 30 seconds [23:56] ed_debian: Hey, the instant problem's fixed. [23:56] Link23, Sorry? [23:56] yes [23:56] thanks all [23:56] znaff ok glad I could help [23:56] aliciapg: if it is a commercial version of wine it should be built from the ground up for your particualar OS ... I cannot support commercial software [23:56] I think that I have got it :) [23:56] ed_debian: My gnome directory takes up 10GB so it doesn't leave me a lot of room [23:56] ed_debian: remember, the instant file transfer? [23:57] zortec, That's sort of a large root you don't have a whole lot of room to mess huh? I suggest a smaller swap as well but that's not necessary [23:57] aliciapg: you purchased support for crossover when you bought crossover, so you should contact the transgaming === Link23 is now known as korjata [23:57] Link23, OOOO!! You're under a different name now I didn't recognize you. What was going on?? [23:57] ed_debian: For gaming the files are going in /home and that is 20GB [23:57] ed_debian: But 10GB is needed just for WoW [23:58] zortec: wow ... WoW is HUGE!!! [23:58] my wifi card only gives me internet like for 30 seconds [23:58] zortec, That is good. So you want to re-arrange your partitions? (Make root and swap smaller and give the extra space to /home?) [23:58] zortec: do you have more space on the disc? [23:58] jrib: it's expired [23:58] does anyone know how to remotely control a computer?

It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [23:59] quinn: nx, ssh, vnc [23:59] my wifi card only gives me internet like for 30 seconds === gonzo_ is now known as DrGonzo [23:59] UntouchableMX: 30 seconds should be enough for anyone [23:59] I cant even check email with 30 seconds [23:59] What the XF86Audio global hotkeys?
