It starts fine but not on boot. Most googling I did said to install the server of the OS as it's defaulted but I did the desktop version :( [00:01] twistedlndscapes, you need to add it to the boot up sequence [00:01] twistedlndscapes, look in System > Administration > Services [00:01] hi all [00:01] *kills self* ;) [00:02] can you tell me a good pdf reader for ubuntu? [00:02] dany, Evince [00:02] connect [00:02] lol [00:02] Is there any way to make a shortcut of the Network Manager? [00:02] another? [00:02] dany, or if you want Adobe Reader [00:02] danny: adobie [00:02] sudo apt-get install adobereader? [00:02] no [00:02] dany: Evince is the default one, is fine; I read on ubuntuforums that foxit reader has a linux version now [00:02] dany, sudo apt-get install acroread [00:03] it doesn't find the package [00:03] mdm u want the content of those files? here: this is from the larger (/media/disk) http://paste.ubuntu.com/187736/ [00:03] dany, oops it is adobereader-enu [00:03] !medibuntu | dany [00:03] dany: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [00:03] nod62 go to system>administration>network-rightclick - add launcher to desktop [00:03] and thsi is from /media/disk-1 (the smaller) http://paste.ubuntu.com/187738/ [00:03] wrektjet_: Im only cheking so we dont screw up the system [00:03] dany, actually you need to enable the correct repos [00:04] mdm screw up the system any worse you mean [00:04] adobereader-enu there isn't [00:04] k [00:04] fccf: That's Networking Tools. :/ [00:04] thx [00:04] no -- network [00:04] dany, System > Administration > Software Sources [00:05] kk [00:05] dany, Third-Party Software tab [00:05] nod62 but you get the idea - if it is not there - install nm-applet [00:05] dany, check archive.canonical.com (both) [00:05] I can't remember... what is command for the default window decorator that ships with Ubuntu? [00:05] dany: what's wrong with evince (or okular on KDE)? [00:05] wrektjet_: what does the one in /media/disk-1 say? [00:06] metacity --replace [00:06] with eve [00:06] thnks [00:06] with evince there isn't the hand ! [00:06] fccf: Well, I'm trying to remove the gnome panel.

Which I plan on making a shortcut on AWN. === betrayd is now known as she_dyed [00:06] mdm but i think that its bec of the livecd maybe that it looks like that? [00:07] dany: okular does.... [00:07] and okular is in ubuntu by default? [00:07] wrektjet_: they are both the same, are you sure you got the right ones? the one on /media/disk-1 should have /boot before each kernel line [00:07] nod62 - you are confusing me [00:08] mdm no forget that. but they do seem to be identical [00:08] nod62 I know you need nm-applet - you want to get rid of everything else [00:08] ? [00:08] dany: okular is in kubuntu (it's a KDE app) but you can install it from repos (it will pull in a LOT of packages though) [00:08] but I'm using gnome :( [00:08] !prefix | dany [00:08] dany: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [00:08] mdm im sure. but maybe bec im livecd? [00:08] fccf: That's seperate from gnome panel? [00:09] I checked httpd in System -> Admin -> Services, reboot, and it still didn't start automatically. Any more ideas are appreciated. I went back to the services window and it was still checked [00:09] nod62: remove the whole panel? and start over [00:09] mdm so bec i booted off the cd the file is diff? ist that possible? [00:09] wrektjet_: no, I think you edited one before you copied it to the new partition and now only one is correct. type fdisk -l and tell me what partition is marked as * [00:09] I cannot get my laptop to boot the ubuntu dvd.. I made two dvds and both worked fine on my other computer.. original windows dvd boots fine and with no problems.. ubuntu doesn't and I've just tried the alternative iso,, still no luck..

I made two dvds and both worked fine on my other computer.. original windows dvd boots fine and with no problems.. ubuntu doesn't and I've just tried the alternative iso,, still no luck.. NEED HELP [00:11] mdm, they eat up a lot of ram just for one app tho [00:11] mdm but it must be the disk-1 that it botts off of bec for the psat month it was the only thing mounted and ubuntu started [00:11] mdm: maybe if you're willing to fiddle with themes to get a nice mesh [00:12] nod62: the command is network-admin [00:12] wrektjet_: yes and it does not really matter, go edit the /media/disk-1/grub/menu.lst and add /boot in front of every kernel and initrd line [00:12] Hello [00:12] In the Ubuntu Server install, how can I drop to a shell? [00:12] nod62 use with sudo [00:12] Does anyone here use Kbuntu? === betrayd is now known as she_dyed [00:12] boss_mc: I run fluxbox just so I DONT have to screw with such things :) [00:13] qbrix, there is no gui by default [00:13] qbrix, you're in a shell by default [00:13] I know, but can I access any prompt? [00:13] mdm: maybe so, but he runs gnome (also libkde is HUGE) [00:13] now it works [00:13] thanks guys [00:13] dany, you have reader? [00:13] yes [00:13] cool [00:13] cabrey, yes [00:13] qbrix what do you mean? [00:13] ;D [00:13] basically how can I install Ubuntu into a software raid if I haven't even built the softwar raid yet? [00:13] is that even possible? [00:13] fccf: Can I make this into a launcher? [00:14] qbrix: no you have to create the raid and make a file system on it [00:14] qbrix I honestly have no idea, but that sounds pretty impossible.. [00:14] hehe [00:14] ya sounds crazy [00:14] good night ;D [00:14] qbrix, grub can't boot a kernel from a software raid anyways [00:14] aww [00:14] what about lilo [00:15] So, if I had a TON of archives, of 3 different types....How would I extract them all? Does ANYBODY know? [00:15] actually it looks like grub CAN work with software raid [00:15] http://www.google.com/search?source=ig&hl=en&rlz=&=&q=grub+software+raid&btnG=Google+Search [00:15] he never asked if it could boot from it, just that if your root could be one. And yes you will need a seperate boot partiion like wrektjet_ (just not as big as his) [00:15] lol [00:16] fccf: You know what I mean? [00:16] very funny mdm. now save and close? [00:16] weird, it seems like this guy had a menu in the installer to create the software raid [00:16] http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-server-73/software-raid-ubuntu-and-grub-problem-472206/ [00:17] Does anyone know why remote desktop viewer can't connect to an XP Pro machine via standard XP remote desktop, but can via a VNC server on that desktop?

A CF is vastly slower then both, less then 1/10 the speed [00:34] <----- marc [00:35] Does it have to run in terminal?

[00:59] fccf: Ubuntu 8.10 [00:59] good thing too, the distros that come with most netbooks suck anyway [00:59] maybe i am blind, but 'man rar' does not give a switch that enables me to sepcify a target dir when extracting. anyone? [00:59] mdm heck yea [00:59] zamnedix: and the archive manager isnt able to open any? somethings wrong with your files [00:59] welp.. get the appropriate archive tools from synaptic and chain them together in a script. Simple logic loop should do it (if/then inside a for each statement or similar) [00:59] damn, didn't boot [01:00] wrektjet_: now go back to /media/disk-1/home and again make SURE you are there and type "rm -rf *" [01:00] administrator: you can exit it with exit [01:00] unfortunately Ubuntu has jaded me to the command line (kinda like when windows 3.11 came out and made Dos less scarey) [01:00] fccf: No the files are fine;I can open them with CrapZip on Windows... [01:00] File-roller just doesn't support them [01:00] ActionParsnip: not exit, i want to permanently disable it [01:00] administrator: you could create an alias (maybe) for 'sudo -i' to mean something else.

[02:27] Kalmi: Yes [02:27] Kalmi: But there is nothing in the printer [02:27] illuzion, if there is "root@pw-toxic-desktop" i assume i do it with root privileges?

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. [02:35] I simply don't understand why some stuff is stored in etc, some in usr [02:35] can i use avidemux to convert .mkv files to .avi files and how do i do it? [02:35] lorph, I understand most of it. Would you like my take? [02:35] and sbin vs bin and local everywhere [02:35] Kalmi, im not intereseted in windows ;) [02:35] yes [02:35] it simply doesn't make any sense to me === bk|away is now known as bk [02:35] and every time I install something with apt-get the directory structure is completely different than when I compile by source [02:35] pw-toxic, how do you want to mount it than? [02:36] it annoys me to no end [02:36] I cant seem to find the logs im lookin for.. [02:36] where is the ubuntu system log? [02:36] lorph, This is all ASAIK. etc is config files, bin is binary files that are system critical / will never (or should never) be removed [02:36] Kalmi, i assume that on my seconds pc i also have installed ubuntu with those hard drives [02:36] can i use avidemux to convert .mkv files to .avi files and how do i do it? [02:36] pw: try smbnetfs [02:36] What is a simple gui I can use to eliminate duplicate files (pictures)? [02:36] AFAIK* [02:36] pw: u need to install it first [02:37] (i assume you know what /home is for) [02:37] lib is libraries [02:37] pw: sudo apt-get install smbnetfs [02:37] ed_debian: is there a website with this info [02:37] mnt / media are for mountable file-systems [02:37] lorph almost def. [02:37] pw: from there you should read it's manpages [02:38] lorph, I saw a you tube video once "Linux Filesystem De-Mystified" lol [02:38] pw-toxic, samba is not windows only... (everyone else is suggesting you samba too... smb=samba) I sent you that factoid because it contains info on how to mount something permanently (using fstab) [02:38] usr if all of your installed binaries (from repos, manually installed what have you) [02:38] Kalmi, yes i'm sorry - i'm already reading it ;) the description was a little bit misleading [02:38] hi there ! I have a problem with connecting my cell phone to my computer (i gete a error on dmesg uponc connection via usb). A friend told me his cell worked on older kernels, so I'd like to have some older kernels installed. Is there a easy, ubuntu way for that ? [02:38] boot is for booting lol [02:38] and why is there some stuff in /usr/local vs /usr/ [02:39] Kalmi: can you help or not? [02:39] and bin/ vs sbin/ [02:39] usr/local is thing you installed [02:39] amseidler, i cannot help you [02:39] scripts you wrote / programs you installed by hand from the command line [02:39] how many links do you think a web crawler can get in 2 minutes on a 220k modem [02:39] Kalmi, sometimes i also need those HDDs on windows too.. can i auto mount those ubuntu drives (NTFS and FAT32) on windows too? [02:40] well... that's a differnt story... but yes [02:40] you can assign drive letters to them... [02:40] Kalmi, because i still need windows to watch films since linux doesnt have support for this ;( [02:40] local usually means "local to this machine" [02:40] \join #i3 [02:40] pw-toxic, support for what? :S [02:40] #selinuxfest [02:40] Kalmi, full HD 5.1 souround sound blue ray films [02:40] gregc, Wrong slash buddy [02:41] pw-toxic, oh... blue ray... :) [02:41] thx, haha [02:41] Kalmi, ubuntu (creative) fails on 5.1 souround sound.. linux fails on a legal software for playing blue rays [02:41] s to my WWW folder within LAMP but getting the following errors: http://paste.ubuntu.com/187821/ [02:41] furthermore some games still dont work using wine ;( [02:41] I don't think that ubuntu (or linux at all) can play blue-ray yet period [02:41] Hey guys. Is it possible to connect an external eSATA hdd internally, directly to my mobo? thanks [02:41] legal or otherwise [02:42] thatdude, Does your mobo have an eSATA port? [02:42] ed_debian, yes it can "otherwise" but its lots of work ;) [02:42] oic [02:42] osx cant play blueray either [02:42] ed_debian, it has SATA ports... [02:42] well thanks ed_debian i suppose that helps somewhat [02:42] oi [02:42] lorph, I know it wasn't in detail but it's everything I know [02:42] sighK, also OS X can, but you have to go deeply in illegal things ;) [02:43] and its a LOT of work... [02:43] thatdude, How is your eSATA drive connected right now? [02:43] especially BD+ [02:43] so can ubuntu [02:43] pw-toxic, lol [02:43] What's up people. I was wondering if anyone knows how I could have anyone who attempts to join my wireless network be redirected to a login page like most hotels and internet cafe. [02:43] ed_debian, ;) [02:43] ed_debian, dont have it yet, but I have an esata bracket that came with my mobo [02:43] anyone... ?? [02:43] thatdude, eSATA bracket? [02:44] guys,, could someone please point me to what the reason is?? [02:44] lee666, what gives that erro? [02:44] or maybe even a tutorial? :P [02:44] I can't boot any dvd on my laptop... they all work with other computers [02:44] Kalmi: http://paste.ubuntu.com/187821/ [02:44] my laptop boots the original windows dvd.. but not the burned ubuntu dvd.. [02:44] hi [02:44] none of the ubuntu dvds.. even the ones that woked before [02:45] lee666, what is the command that results in that error message? [02:45] how can i look for all PCS in my network? [02:45] rytrytreytetretretretretretretretretretretretretretretr [02:45] hi [02:45] tyler [02:46] pw-toxic, well... nmap scan scan whole subnets... but it is probably not what you are looking for... [02:46] thatdude, There are eSATA to SATA adapters on the market. I guess I am a little confused why you would buy an eSATA drive if your motherboard doesn't have eSATA ports. ?? Why not just buy an internal SATA drive? [02:46] Kalmi, why notß [02:46] Kalmi, i know there is a fileserver in our network i can access but i dont know its name :D [02:46] ك؟ [02:46] :D I need to create an authentication redirect for anyone who joins my wireless network. Any suggestions as to how to do that?

[02:47] digitalvaldosta, That is a neat idea. Let me know if you find something. I think though that something like that might require something more than a home-use router.

[02:53] I cant load anything and cant boot from CD [02:53] renagadex, You can't boot from a CD? [02:53] Not an Ubuntu question but it does have something to do with open source fundamentals. I just upgraded my phone from 1.1 to 1.5 cupcake (Android, of course) and now my phone won't finish booting. It just hangs at the splash screen (which no looks GORGEOUS). So, should I sit and bullshit with T-mobile or just get it over with and root my phone so I can stop hating proprietary software? [02:53] no, IDK why [02:53] renagadex, how did you install ubuntu than? [02:53] renagadex, You have your bios set correctly? [02:53] from USB [02:53] Zencyde then it would be offtopic [02:53] idk if BIOS is correct [02:54] renagadex, Do you know how to get into your bios?

I have the mX rev ( laptop version ) so things might be different from you [03:05] Nicolas__, I don't have OpenJDK & the IcedTea plugin, only the sun jre and every java applet has worked [03:05] dga perhaps you are mounting the wrong dev [03:05] Mow, a little info on bash in terminal type cat .bash_history then look for the commands you typed [03:06] koshari: or what ever it is... its not in front of me right now... what I did was define middle button as ctrl+right-click [03:06] nibsa1242b and you can get xev to see button2? [03:06] losher: well I found a page that talks about forwarding with iptables. it sounds like it would work if you setup iptables to forward to the web server and then have it send them to the site that they have as their home page after they login. [03:06] I have a very odd problem... after playing any fullscreen game for a while(every ~10 minutes), it stops being fullscreen (the window decorations appear) and it doesn't respond the keyboard and the mouse (oddly enough clicking works... I can still shoot :)... The only thing I can do is minimize the game and then maximize it so that it will go back to fully fullscree... I have tried multiple window managers... any ideas? [03:06] r0tu: nope i'm sure it's the correct device [03:06] ? if i set someone with desktop privileges will Ubuntu auto update since i set it in admin privileges?

[03:09] koshari: the VX has that on the bottom of the mouse, I always have mine set in click mode [03:09] digitalvaldosta: sounds doable. block all traffic except tcp:80 from them until after they login, then rewrite their iptables entry to stop redirecting and grant them full access. Not sure how you know when to remove access. How do you know when they've gone away? [03:09] Jack_Sparrow, ubottu seems to be a little slow [03:10] cabrey Needs a tune-up [03:10] Kalmi, hahah it works.. this is so impressive! [03:10] ok so I think I found the code that runs glmatrix as backround but it isnt running keeps saying there is no such file or directory.. [03:11] losher: nah, that's a little different. If you go to most hotels nowadays and attempt to join their wireless your browser will be redirected to their web page to either have you login (Chik-fil-a does this) or to a page that tells you the terms of use or maybe even about their products. [03:11] pw-toxic, what works? :) [03:11] sshfs [03:12] Kalmi, can i simply add this command to my fstab? [03:12] losher: the best way to tell if they are no longer able to use the wireless put a ttl on the ip address. [03:13] Kalmi, i will use 1GB then.. does sshfs have any performance issues? .. i want to "leech" with ~60MB/s (my HDD can do that) [03:13] pw-toxic: i gave up trying to fstab my sshfs - maybe a shell script would be just as easy. let me know your line if you get it working though :) [03:13] assem, why did you gave up? [03:13] digitalvaldosta: best of luck with that :-) [03:14] pw-toxic, ssh has performance issues... imho you should use samba...

[03:21] anyone have any idea why my sound stops working in 9.04? [03:21] assem, there is an example on this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHFS [03:21] Would the computer freezing up entirely when deleting large quantities of files be a side effect of ext4? [03:21] Joeseph: he means you got the name of the disk wrong. It's not /media/disk-3. It's probably /dev/disk-3. [03:21] Joeseph 'sudo mount -t ext4 wrong /media/disk-3 should be your device /media/newhome' better [03:21] oh wait its back now. [03:21] weird. [03:22] RukusX after installing 9.04 ? stopped?

[04:01] what's your sn name> [04:01] deserteagle, dmsg | tail [04:02] Kingsley: The easiest way is to shutdown your computer and turn it back on =p [04:02] pw-toxic: you're referring to a Gbit-connected network-attached storage device? [04:02] <````bulldogg> ok.. I have a stupid question... I am running 9.04 on my iMac.... the number pad won't work... what do I have to tweak to get it to work? [04:02] <````bulldogg> not a big issue but it would be nice to have [04:02] pw-toxic: its gonna be pretty snappy [04:02] ````bulldogg, hit the clear key [04:02] cabrey: command not found o_O [04:02] kcollins, what does snappy mean? [04:02] deserteagle, just dmsg then [04:02] nothing either [04:02] kcollins, i mean, that i have two computers wihtin a GBit LAN, and one pc does cifs to the drives of the other pc [04:02] <````bulldogg> ok... I am stupid... but thanks [04:03] pw-toxic: much faster than my 100Mbit NAS [04:03] broken__: install modprobe ... cycle the camera module(s) [04:03] <````bulldogg> that worked [04:03] kcollins, ;) [04:03] pw-toxic: oh... I see [04:03] fccf: what do you mean install modprobe? [04:03] ````bulldogg, i have multiple macs [04:03] does anyone know what kohlrak meant by, restart my graphic card? [04:03] broken I mean modconf - fast hands slow mind [04:03] Kingsley1: not the card itself, X [04:04] ?? [04:04] Kingsleyl:As someone said it would be easyer to just restart your computer.. [04:04] Kingsley1: X is a program that works with the graphics driver. [04:04] pw-toxic: I don't know exactly the data rate you could expect, but on the Gbit LAN at work, I can transfer a 500MB file in 20-30 seconds? [04:04] Kingsleyl press control + Alt + backspace [04:04] WOW cifs is FAST [04:04] i believe thats what he meant [04:04] i'm transferring a file with 56 MB/s [04:04] wait. [04:04] Kingsley1, log out and back in [04:04] <````bulldogg> cabrey yeah I own a couple myself [04:05] kcollins, maybe i really should build up a raid5 then... ;) because i want to transfer data from a raid5 to a INTEL 80GB SSD [04:05] cabrey that doesnt restart x... [04:05] hx, yes it does :) [04:05] why logout? [04:05] yes it not [04:05] Kingsley1: because it resets X.................................................... erm... just ctrl-alt-backspace and you'll be fine [04:05] just do a damn restart or press control alt backspace. [04:05] kohlrak, that was disabled in 9.04 [04:05] fccf: alright, I have modconf installed. what do you mean cycle the modules? thanks for your help [04:06] cabrey: what was? [04:06] idk, it really didn't do anything [04:06] wow.. [04:06] do a reestart... [04:06] hx: what exactly is his problem he cant get compiz to work? [04:06] sudo modconf ... then look in the HUGE LIST for usb and video [04:06] kohlrak, ctrl-alt-backspace [04:06] from my 8.4 to 9.10, i've noticed some really annoying changes... some good ones, but some really lame ones as well [04:07] broken__: ^^^^^^^ [04:07] cabrey: heh... why'd they disable that? it was useful. [04:07] hx, kohlrak, my mistake logging out does not restart X :) [04:07] kcollins, wow - my WD 1TB greenpower does 80MB/s ;) [04:07] lol.. [04:07] kohlrak, people were complaining that they hit ctrl-alt-backspace by accident [04:07] kohlrak, don't ask me how... [04:08] kohlrak: It was disabled by the X developers, apparently there was a vote and they decided it was good to disable it [04:08] cabrey: log out resets settings sometimes though [04:08] cabrey: Wonderfull [04:08] help [04:08] pw-toxic: sounds like you're cookin'! [04:08] :( my wusb54g won't work [04:08] Mow, dont know, havent read his problem, just saw when he said what restart graphics means. [04:08] cabrey, ahh i was wondering why this doesnt work anymore :D: [04:08] kohlrak, you can re-enable it [04:08] RedSocrates: Lemme guess, same with the print screen button now having to do with music or something instead of screenshots as well? XD [04:08] does alt+sysrq+k not restart X? [04:08] cabrey: how? XD [04:08] kohlrak: Not sure about that :) [04:09] there is a second ubuntu channel for things more offtopic...? what is its name? [04:09] in xorg.conf [04:09] y'all forgot one more! [04:09] init 1 then init 3 :D [04:09] oh nevermind.. found it out myself [04:09] !ot [04:09] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [04:09] kohlrak: Section "ServerFlags" | Option "DontZap" "Off" | EndSection [04:09] hx: I think it had to do something with he couldnt get compiz to run im not sure..we can ask when he comes back if he needs help still.. [04:09] fccf: Aha! I found the quickcam module and installed it again. are there any others I should look for while I'm in here [04:09] kohlrak: Where each '|' indicates a new line [04:09] | = Enters [04:09] RedSocrates: i recently discovered that change and it was really annoying really quickly because i had to find another way to take a screnshot, whcih i eventually did, but still annoying. [04:09] kcollins, if you are interested in what i'm trying to do, you may switch to #ubuntu-offtopic [04:10] cabrey, kohlrak: I think Ubuntu also has a package available that you can install that will also turn "dontzap" off [04:10] thanks, i'll fix that real quick [04:10] guys if you were to do "tweak" ubuntu, swappiness,shell, optimize it for dual/quad processors, 64bit etc.. would you UPDATE the system first then tweak (if there was a HUGE update available) [04:10] so like... what do i do if my usb wireless adaptor shows up in lsusb, ifconfig and in iwconfig, but the gnome app for wireless networks won't show up? [04:10] binskipy2u, yes [04:10] or would you tweak first, then update [04:10] update first [04:10] cabrey, kohlrak: Heh, yep. You can 'sudo aptitude install dontzap' and then use it, apparently [04:10] who can I speak to? [04:10] ok.. [04:10] found a lot of ubuntu speed tweaks [04:11] along with BUM and service tweaks etc [04:11] well i'll be [04:11] Kingsley1: what exactly is your problem? === Guest46759 is now known as Guesy4646 [04:11] Kingsleyl, ...? [04:11] RedSocrates: any other key changes i should know about? [04:12] RedSocrates, yes it does but when you type dontzap in terminal it wipes your xorg.conf file [04:12] kohlrak: Not that I know of [04:12] :( i just need the wireless card to xfer files from one pc to the other... please help [04:12] chuck_: Ew, wow, that's nasty. Hopefully it warns you? [04:12] deserteagle_, do you have a wifi router? [04:12] no [04:12] .... [04:12] RedSocrates: I sure hope there isn't. XD Last thing i need is weird windows poping up when i press numlock or something. [04:12] about my visual effects. How to enable it? I have tried to enable it but, it looks like there was a strange issue. [04:12] deserteagle_, are you transfering between linux and linux or is window involved [04:12] windows [04:13] That I 100% don't truthfully understand. [04:13] deserteagle_, you should google on how to setup an adhoc wireless network [04:13] ... [04:13] so like... what do i do if my usb wireless adaptor shows up in lsusb, ifconfig and in iwconfig, but the gnome app for wireless networks won't show up? [04:13] hello [04:13] kohlrak: Haha, I know the feeling. I had a heck of a time with my laptop trying to use SysRq. I had to type and release a couple keys in a certain order to get it to work [04:13] Kingsley1: I'm guessing you haven't installed the drivers for your video card. [04:13] slayton: ^ [04:13] Kingsleyl , uhm what does it do? symptoms? [04:13] which is usually best to use, the current version of ubuntu or the oldest supported? [04:13] is it possible to install ubuntu over windows [04:13] TehFlash: yes [04:13] In addition, I have been trying to research it and figuring out. Finally, it was not very much of help here. [04:13] i dont know how to remove windows first, i dont have a copy of it [04:14] zaccour it depends on what you want. Stability and very tested stuff, 8.04. [04:14] RedSocrates: Of the complaints of linux, the only lagitimate ones i heard mostly surrounded keybindings and such. [04:14] New stuff and feat, 9.04 [04:14] Kingsley1: weren't u supposed to reboot? :P [04:14] my computer has a virus and i have ubuntu on my laptop some one installed it for me and gave me the cd for it [04:14] Broken sjokkis: sorry I stepped out for a smoke sjokkis see my /msg [04:14] hx whats the pros on the later releases? [04:14] deserteagle_, ya i got that, nothing shows up because neither computer is broadcasting as an network... you need to either setup an adhoc wireless network in ubuntu or in windows and then have the otehr computer connect to that network [04:14] TehFlash: no worries, it's called dual boot [04:14] zaccour: It also will depend on what hardware you have, too [04:14] RedSocrates: There were other lagitimate ones of course, just most people have key trouble [04:14] Hi everyone, i'm settings up twinview, and have it working, but when I open an app it always opens in 1 monitor, how do I make it send it to the other? I tried searching but have no idea what to look for on google [04:14] 8.04 is the long term support. It has all the stable stuff. [04:14] kohlrak: Yeah, when the keys don't work as you expect, things can get pretty difficult [04:14] i always update to the latest right away, just not sure if its a good idea [04:15] actually one time i had to upgrade to 9.04 alpha just so my wired internet would work after the first set of updates [04:15] the hard drive is only 40 gig and windows is installed on the all of it, how do i erase it [04:15] <````bulldogg> zaccour did that have to do with the bug in the kernel at that time? [04:15] sorry, not twinview but 2 different Xservers [04:16] deserteagle_, http://www.google.com/search?q=adhoc+wireless+network+ubuntu [04:16] perhaps [04:16] TehFlash maybe some sudo fdisk -l and some man fdisk would help. [04:16] <````bulldogg> I had a similiar problem and reverted to the previous kernel version [04:16] RedSocratese: It took me for ever to realize why firefox randomly went to pages like "because.com" and stuff like that, turns out that the middle mouse button emulation was turned on and i was hitting both wings on accident. Lost many a good writings thanks to it. Taught me to use gedit and turn on auto-saving. [04:16] TehFlash you can also use gparted [04:16] TehFlash, you want to completely clean off the drive? [04:16] so you can rip the partition where windows is. [04:16] kohlrak: Haha, nice. At least a good learning experience :P [04:16] installed. [04:17] its not really important i'm just curious, whats the different between remove and completely remove in synaptic? [04:17] zaccour, well , for example in 8.04 intel driver was ok, in 9.04 its all messed. But new stuff means new bugs. [04:17] <````bulldogg> zaccour: good question... I am not sure [04:17] how do you play encrypted itunes movies in ubuntu [04:17] RedSocrates: Next thing you know, they'll add a purge shortcut to gedit and it'll delete the text and the file [04:17] zaccour, one only removes the binaries the other removes the configuratino files aswell [04:17] ZeroProg, you can't [04:18] hey guys [04:18] incorrect [04:18] ZeroProg: try medibuntu yet? [04:18] im booting from the ubuntu disc and it shows the screen loading but then it goes blank [04:18] kohlrak: no ill try it out now [04:18] zaccour completely remove is = --purge in console. And remove is = as -r or -remove in console. [04:18] ZeroProg, if the videos have apple DRM then you can't play them [04:18] fccf: it looks like the module has been enabled again, but unfortunately the camera still isn't working. I plugged it in, and dmesg shows that it registers, but none of the v4L apps show a camera [04:19] <````bulldogg> vlc will play almost anything though ZeroProg [04:19] slayton: theres always a way around it especiall in linux [04:19] <````bulldogg> notice I said almost [04:19] ZeroProg, why especially in linux? [04:19] yeah vlc isnt playing it because its encrypted so i downloaded ffpmeg [04:19] hi guys [04:20] linux is open source so other people have wanted to do this before...thus anything is available [04:20] <````bulldogg> I thought ffpmeg was for encoding video??? [04:20] hello guys how to update ubuntu 9.04? [04:20] yeah i was gonna convert it to avi [04:20] sudo apt-get update [04:20] i am going to update the packages [04:20] sudo apt-get upgrade [04:20] jigp: try the sources thinger? [04:20] ZeroProg, your logic is astounding [04:20] woot feel like I acomplished something [04:20] i try [04:21] ZeroProg, i would just convert it with ffpmeg to avi [04:21] can bluez-btsco be used for non-a2dp headsets in jaunty? [04:21] ok [04:21] ZeroProg, sorry you just said that [04:21] yeah im just worried about the DRM [04:21] Kind of a strange question: I just installed 9.04, it went flawlessly, btw. I thought I was installing server, as that's how I had the dvd labeled But, how can I be sure that this is server, not desktop (not that it matters that much)? [04:21] quick question, i've got a quad core but jaunty is only showing one cpu in the system monitor [04:21] it worked fine in 8.10 [04:21] kohlrak is there a command? [04:21] ZeroProg, don't worry about the DRM you're using linux thus you can do anything [04:21] johnfg: do you have a GUI? [04:21] slayton: so if it's working properly, why won't it detect the neighbors wireless? o_O [04:21] johnfg: connect a monitor [04:21] Yes. [04:22] do anyone knows if there is a graphical application to configure gtkrc ? the spacing is just too much [04:22] how much faster would the live disc be from a usb stick instead of a cd? [04:22] <````bulldogg> has anyone had any luck playing H.264 videos from HDPVR? [04:22] haha === bluesmoke_ is now known as Amaranth [04:22] deserteagle_, probably b/c the signal isn't strong enough [04:22] jigp: this is linux, so yes, but your guess is as good as mine. Do you not have X or something? [04:22] broken__: i think we have been here luvcvideo? yes no? [04:22] johnfg: Ubuntu server does not come with a gui by default. [04:22] hi everybody, iam from mexico [04:22] hola [04:22] slayton: i am chatting from my laptop that's right next to the wlan0 [04:22] hola :) [04:22] deserteagle_, i thought you said you didn't have a wireless router? [04:23] hi aldo [04:23] fccf: yes. I looked up this camera and also found out that it isn't a UVC camera (if that helps) [04:23] de donde eres? [04:23] is it possible to have ubuntu on a usb drive and have it save to that drive as if it were a full install, rather than being temporary like the live cd? [04:23] !es | aldo [04:23] aldo: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es.

I don't have a link in front of me though [04:23] thanks :) [04:23] fccf: don't know what I'm missing.. dmesg shows that it finds the camera and associates it with that driver [04:23] broken__: remove luvcview [04:23] bye [04:24] deserteagle_, so you have 2 computers.. the windows computer can see the network but linux cant [04:24] yep [04:24] So, is that the *only* way I can tell? [04:24] fccf: whats the command for that apt-get remove? [04:24] can someone help me with my installation with Nessus? [04:24] ````bulldogg, ok thanks [04:24] * tehbaut googles [04:24] deserteagle_, the two computers, are they the exact same model? if not they probably have different wireless cards with different anteneas so they both will pick up the signals with different strengths [04:24] kohlrak : i forgot the command...sudo apt-get isntall updates? but its not working [04:24] I'm actually not lacking much that i'm needing, though I expected to install server. I guess I can look at the dvd again, to make sure if it says. [04:24] jigp: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrdae [04:24] lex0: sudo apt-get install nessus [04:24] jigp: er, dist-upgrade, not dist-upgrdae [04:25] <````bulldogg> tehbaut: they call it a presistent install [04:25] broken__: sudo apt-get remove luvcview [04:25] how can older non-a2dp bluetooth headsets play sounds in jaunty?

[04:27] new packages released today [04:27] kohlrak, all the current guides assume your bt headset has a2dp, and the older guides don't work in jaunty [04:27] Pranka: so i can show you my problem [04:27] !pastebin | lex0 [04:27] lex0: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel.

[04:28] deserteagle_, i'd suggest creating an adhoc network [04:28] <````bulldogg> tehbaut: no problem hope that it helps you [04:28] deserteagle_, or using a thumb drive to transfer the files if you can (it will be faster) [04:28] ````bulldogg, how much faster do you think running from usb would be vs cd? [04:28] kohlrak, it pairs fine, however the steps to set up audio for example in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothHeadset/ don't seem to work, although they do for newer a2dp enabled headsets [04:28] significant, or negligible? [04:28] <````bulldogg> tehbaut I think its a lot faster.... I had bactrack on a usb and a buddy of mine had it on cd and I booted twice as fast as he did [04:29] woot feel like I acomplished something now...I think I helped that kingley guy fix his problem Xd [04:29] was it ever possible before, MikeChelen, because from what i see with this a2dp.......

[04:30] kohlrak, yeah it was possible using bluez-sco, which still exists however modprobe snd_bt_sco no longer works in jaunty [04:30] Pranka: when i right click it does not even do anything, does nto let me copy [04:30] MikeChelen: alot of htings no longer work in jaunty........

LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. [05:02] zipito uhm what???? [05:02] zipito_, new releases every 6 months [05:02] Pranka: client === jay is now known as Guest92707 [05:02] cabrey in my opinion 8.04 long term would be good to be supported until 2011.. [05:03] but its only up to october [05:03] MikeChelen: Thanks [05:03] hx, 2011 for desktop [05:03] zipito_: 9.04 is supported until october 2010 while 9.10 will be until april 2011 [05:03] hx, server till 2013 [05:03] Then you should uninstall nessusd ( that's the server ), which you installed from the website, I'm guessing. [05:03] quick question, has anyone set up skype on 9.04? [05:03] i'm trying to install kubuntu on a box i just built. i'm getting an error "ata1: softreset failed (device not ready)". some googling suggested there might be an incompatibility with the sata controller so i switched to the other one on the mobo but no good. if i try to install lenny, i get hungup at at DMA. no RAID, at least for now. any ideas? [05:03] ok sorry , 2010 is kubuntu 8.04. isnt supposed to be equal releases?

[05:04] hx: 8.04 is until april 2011 (or april 2013 for server). It's an LTS release [05:04] hx: Kubuntu 8.04 is not an LTS due to a number of factors (primarily, the fact that KDE4 was brand new when it came out). That was a decision by the Kubuntu team. [05:04] robtp: disown [05:05] Flannel, 8.04 right know is only available with kde3............................. [05:05] Pranka: ok how can i just autoremove everyting nessus related and get the latest version? [05:05] lex0: apt-get --purge remove nessus nessusd [05:05] guys. I'm having trouble with [05:05] okay bottom for running and installing javasun [05:05] lex0, sudo dpkg -S nessus , will tel you all remaining files ..

If you're just looking to discuss it, we'd prefer you do that in #ubuntu-offtopic. Thanks [05:09] is another process using it? [05:09] jason__: it stalls after that? [05:09] yeah [05:10] and that's how I accidentally closed it. [05:10] how to fix this? [05:10] i did some googling and some forums suggested that there was a compatibility issue with the sata controller [05:10] meaning what? [05:10] so i switched to the other onboard one (it has two, one amd and one gigabyte) [05:10] Flannel, lol. Admin ego. Whatever, if you didnt notice im trying to help some people in here. so, If you prefer you can help them instead of me. :) [05:10] !aptfix | Kingsley1 [05:10] Kingsley1: easy and wussy possible fix: logout and login :P [05:10] Kingsley1: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » [05:11] or do that [05:11] hx: You're more than welcome to be in both channels. But this channel is just for support, not discussion. [05:11] neither worked, so i tried installing lenny and it stalls giving a DMA error. i don't think i hooked up the sata wrong.

[05:24] smokinjoe: please look at ubottu's message [05:24] sean12837: Comment spam where? [05:24] Flannel: says use ' apt-get autoremove to remove them [05:24] * bc thinks his cpu may be on fire (68C) [05:24] krishmish: that's probably something that is done on your client.. I'm not using xchat [05:24] hey, i think my ubuntu searchs the hardware on every boot. sometimes my X comes on 1024x768 and sometimes on 1440x800. sometimes my mobile usb works and sometimes it does not. i have to restart ubuntu to make it work. is there a way to fix it ???

[05:25] lex0: apt-get autoremove [05:25] I just need some ideas for measurements to take on finding out the problem [05:25] lex0, in case it is installed officialy i mean havent removed from a package manager, like you told me you have did, you may type sudo apt-get purge nessus [05:25] can anyone please tell me how to remove a package and all of its dependencies on ubuntu 9.04 [05:26] Slart: if our timezones match....im in bangalore, india [05:26] I checked sound in System > Pref [05:26] Nothing there made a diff [05:26] lex0, but if you already did that, autoremove will only remove the left registered package, not the left files... [05:26] I checked alsamixer [05:26] how do I check if I am using ubuntu 32 or 64 bit? [05:26] smokinjoe: first I'll ask the stupid questions - check the volume control.. also check change device in the menu of volume control to see if something is turned off [05:26] Seemed fine [05:26] Checked all volume levels and connections [05:27] krishmish: I'm here most of the time.. not sure if I'll be looking at my irc-window though.. but I'm active at least once a day or so [05:27] Checked the device setting too [05:27] smokinjoe: ok open a terminal [05:27] kazagista1: uname -a [05:27] Ok [05:27] Slart: okay fine dude...will catch up then...thanks [05:27] krishmish: you're welcome [05:27] lex0: If you wouldn't mind pastebinning the output of `dpkg -l` (thats a lowercase L) [05:27] Slart: bye [05:27] lex0, if you uninstalled the package with apt-get, youre supposed to be able to install the new ones. But if not, you may safely remove the files manually . [05:28] krishmish: bye [05:28] for example with the rm command. [05:28] fccf: All good [05:28] and type aplay -l and then pastebin the results - if you don't know how to pastebin type /msg ubottu !pastebin [05:28] Flannel: dpkg -l nessus? [05:28] dpkg -S nessus. [05:29] lex0: No, just dpkg -l (yes, it'll be long) [05:29] k hold on [05:29] hx: If he has files left over there's something else going on. Instead of just treating the symptoms, it's better to actually fix the problem. [05:29] Sorry guys, had to be gone for a while. Is there a way to upgrade from desktop to server? [05:30] johnfg: Linux makes no differentiation between a "server" and a "desktop", the only difference is the packages that are installed. [05:30] johnfg: So, yes. What are you looking to end up with? A server with a GUI? you just want to add a few servers to your box? or what? [05:30] my laptop is still crashing, i am using the alternate cd and it will just crash after a certain amount of time [05:31] Flannel: http://paste.ubuntu.com/187917/ [05:31] I am using Ubuntu Live cd , can i save STATE for a later time ? [05:31] johnfg. uhm no big deal with the server... just uninstall graphics , add lamp and samba and you have your server... [05:31] Flannel, Well, I've already added and configured kerberos, will do openldap, and have sso set up soon. [05:31] stevecam: Sounds like a hardware issue. "using an alternate cd" means having the alternate CD running doing whatever? [05:31] johnfg: 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-server' will installl the server kernel and modules [05:31] johnfg: So, what else are you looking to add? or remove? or whatever? [05:31] anyone knows how to intall gtk+ .......... please help [05:31] fccf, OK! That's what I was wondering about. [05:32] fccf: what do I need besides a terminal? [05:32] hey, i think my ubuntu searchs the hardware on every boot. sometimes my X comes on 1024x768 and sometimes on 1440x800. sometimes my mobile usb works and sometimes it does not. i have to restart ubuntu to make it work. is there a way to fix it ??? [05:32] will the ubuntu server remove anything? I actually like desktop a lot. [05:32] johnfg: There's no need to do that. [05:32] konza_tea [05:32] I'm coming primarily from fedora and debian. [05:32] smokinjoe: look at the line after your last line before terminal [05:32] johnfg, ubuntu-server will remove all.. i mean and guess. [05:33] johnfg: You've already got your server stuff running. If you're using the desktop, you likely don't want the server kernel either. [05:33] froes: do you have drivers for your video installed? [05:33] konza, when in doubt, apt-cache search gtk ... otherwise run synaptic GUI from System > Administration menu [05:33] johnfg: So, from the sounds of it, you're done. [05:33] smokinjoe copy/paste to paste.ubuntu.com [05:34] smokinjoe: type aplay -l in terminal and paste the output [05:34] YesImaLinuxN00B, yeap .. it is regular intel driver === YesImaLinuxN00B is now known as YesImaLinuxWanab === YesImaLinuxWanab is now known as YesImaLinuxN00B [05:35] lex0: Alright.

Please pastebin the output of `apt-cache policy nessusd libnasl2 libnessus2 nessus-plugins` [05:35] can someone call me and test my skype? [05:35] TheFunkbomb: Try #ubuntu-offtopic [05:35] Flannel, banned from there [05:35] !pastebinit [05:35] pastebinit is the command-line equivelent of !pastebin . Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output. Simple usage: command-name | pastebinit === maximo_ is now known as Maximo [05:35] TheFunkbomb: There's plenty of other channels as well. [05:36] froes: is there a panel where you can configure your resolution, maybe theres a setting thats not right [05:36] Flannel, I figured since I set up skype in Ubuntu and this was Ubuntu support, it would be cool. If not, nevermind [05:36] TheFunkbomb: try #skype [05:36] fccf: http://pastebin.com/d7f01977b [05:36] pastebinit can be installed by typing 'sudo apt-get install pastebinit' [05:37] hello [05:37] I'm back [05:37] yeah, 2 other people in #skype :/ [05:37] can we one to one talk [05:37] Flannel, OK, I'll just keep working and see how it goes.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [05:37] hi flannel [05:37] have you guys ever heard of this http://ubuntard.com? [05:37] Here's a real ubuntu newb question: what does the ubuntu symbol stand for/represent in synaptic package manager? [05:37] fccf, yes I heard from the guy who added my ! request that the system will prompt to install it since it's the same name as the package. So if anyone wants it, they will then get the install instruction automatically [05:37] YesImaLinuxN00B, it is configured, but everytime i boot and the resolution ios wrong things wont work properly i think. even my mobile dongle [05:38] its really funny. [05:38] darlek, it shows a long list [05:38] does anyone have office 2007 running in wine 1.1.22 [05:38] I did a sudo apt-get update the other day then went into update-manager and downloaded a few packages [05:38] wibu: For non-support, please take it to #ubuntu-offtopic, thanks [05:38] ok sorry [05:38] darlek: still hasn't been added [05:38] I have not installed anything lately pertaining to audio [05:39] Flannel: http://paste.ubuntu.com/187922/ [05:39] darlek, in the graphical interface also there is a long list... i dont know which one to install [05:39] how to install HP Printer in ubuntu 9.04 ? thanks [05:39] froes: i dont really know what to say then.

But we'll go with it. Please pastebin the output of `sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install nessusd nessus && sudo apt-get remove --purge nessusd libnasl2 libnessus2 nessus-plugins nessus` (best to copy/paste that) [05:41] is there any channel related to gtk...

I'm having trouble getting any programs to come up on the second monitor [05:43] froes: you had to compile your own kernel to get your video to work [05:44] ok bye.......

[05:44] Flannel: http://paste.ubuntu.com/187923/ [05:45] i am more used to slackware, then i really dont know a lot about this ubuntu [05:45] froes: oic. that could be the reason for the odd resolutions then. I was stuck with 640x480 until i compiled my own kernel with a patch [05:46] smokinjoe: what version of ubuntu are you running? [05:46] lex0: Alright. These errors look like they stem from your prior rm-ing. Lets see about fixing that. Try: please pastebin sudo apt-get remove --purge nessusd [05:46] 8.4 I do believe [05:46] hey guys.

[05:48] No. sudo apt-get dist-update ? [05:48] how can i just install a package's dependencies without installing the package itself? [05:48] Oprtz depnds on the model/connection, cups should autodetect [05:48] darlek: from where to get these drivers? which website [05:48] Flannel: http://paste.ubuntu.com/187924/ [05:49] hey folks smokinjoe everyb ody else -- need to do some other stuff -- see me later [05:49] Is it possible to set a failover IP address in ubuntu? [05:49] darlek: sorry got booted [05:49] via CLI [05:49] if DHCP doesnt work [05:49] i said from where to download these printers drivers? [05:50] Oprtz, try HP site first, or google your HP model and number with the word Ubuntu. There is likely someone else on the Ubuntu forms who has already had this question [05:50] forums [05:50] lex0: Alright, now try sudo apt-get install nessusd [05:50] darlek: thanks dude [05:51] Flannel but i wanted to get the upgraded version from the nessus website [05:51] np [05:51] Flannel: nessus 3/4..

To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution [05:53] Is there a leave channel/join channel command in irssi? Similar to mIRC's /hop function.

And no, I don't believe irssi has a built in equivalent. Although you could easily alias one. [05:57] harpreet : just like yahoo messenger voice chat and conference chat? [05:57] Well, that's annoying. If I try to set this program to run at the resolution I want, it stalls on loading and shows that. [05:58] Lower resolutions work fine, though.

[06:00] brennus, Open a nautilus window [06:00] jigp, kde use kopete, and gnome pidgin. that's chat, I used kopete for chat and video but not sure about pidgin.

I'd guess ekiga as that's voice over IP and well as twinkle, but there are a lot of programs. Try Ekiga [06:03] ed you can update your distro with apt-update command? [06:03] Have you mooed today? [06:03] is that right? [06:03] luthir: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [06:03] luthir, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade or something like that [06:03] yeah that's what i thought [06:03] luthir, just read "man apt-get" [06:03] makes life so much easier [06:04] luthir, Anything that you can do in the GUI can be done via cli (for future reference) [06:04] ed you use deb too? [06:04] luthir: don't do that [06:04] luthir: try apt-get moo [06:04] =) [06:04] LOL [06:04] luthir, I use debian primarily [06:04] a lot of people seem to love deb [06:04] ed_debian: too bad it doesnt not work the other way around as well :D [06:04] I had some guys in #fedora tell me it doesn't touch redhat/fedora for networking though [06:05] InfoMoMo, yes [06:05] luthir, Everyone has a slight bias to their choice lol obviously I think debian is the best [06:05] lo [06:05] l [06:05] why do i get "device or resource busy" when i try to play a video while i have a youtube page open? i thought alsamixer was supposed to play sounds from different sources simultaneously [06:05] well his argument also was that nasa and the government use redhat [06:05] isn't ubuntu debian? [06:06] darlek: no, it's based on debian but it is not debian [06:06] and ubuntu / deb aren't used by governments so therefor in his eyes (stink) [06:06] lol [06:06] luthir, There is a lot of debate about what the government uses. I think they are open source but pretty much anything anybody tells you is speculation IMHO [06:06] haha [06:06] well [06:06] I am going to try deb sometime [06:06] what makes deb different from ubuntu? [06:07] ubuntu's libraries? [06:07] I just installed 8.04 from the live cd to a drive that already had WINXP in a different partition. It installed grub, but when i rebooted it went straight into WINXP. No sign of grub or ubuntu anywhere. I'm in winxp now, any suggestions? [06:07] luthir, The developers. The artwork. The stability, The newness (ubuntu is newer but less stable) [06:07] luthir: you mean what makes ubuntu diff. from debian :D [06:07] ah i see [06:07] no body knows nothing, that's BADDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD, see u guys next time [06:07] y gays [06:07] yeah info [06:07] I meant that [06:07] BrokenBoot: weird, why did nyou not install 9.04 ?

[06:09] Ubuntu has a more active community (forum and irc etc etc) but it is full of linux newbies (not a bad thing necessarily). Debian is full of veterans. It is sort of like the cocain to ubuntu's marijuana lol [06:09] we can't figure out what the next best way to fix it or to [06:09] remove it [06:09] ed_debian: FreeBSD is full of veterans [06:09] but they lack trolls [06:09] trolls make life exciting [06:09] Kingsley1 has a very broken java install that was halted halfway... "sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a" does nothing to resolve it, and it keeps throwing this error: http://pastebin.com/m128c9a3b [06:09] trolls are proof that God (if there is such a thing) has a sense of humor [06:09] ed_debian: i dont agree to your drug analogy but , meh... it's true [06:10] InfoMoMo, I was half kidding [06:10] ed_debian : does debian support chat/voice conference? [06:10] so what's next solution? [06:10] One thing is for sure we're all addicted to something :) [06:11] jigp, Debian has 90% of the software ubuntu does (usually an older version though) [06:11] jigp, Almost certainly although I've never chat/voice conferenced [06:11] what to do with the half installation and fixing the interruption? [06:12] ed_debian thank dude === administrator is now known as plaseo [06:13] ed_debian: did you watch the movie : Role Model ?

[06:36] if I wanted to switch from compiz to metacity would it be metacity --reset or something [06:36] Mylisto: I guess you could try to open it in the archive manager and remove files from it... [06:36] silv3r_m00n, yes... they both contain the same packages inside [06:37] Silv3r_m00n yeah they contain everything and when it updates it puts all the extra stuff in [06:37] SandGorgon: in my 8.10 I have a lot of things installed ... all will remain fine if I upgrade using the 9.04 cd [06:37] like kde , games etc [06:37] if I wanted to switch from compiz to metacity would it be metacity --reset or something [06:38] silv3r_m00n, now that is the million dollar question - frankly, I dont upgrade - i only reinstall. theoretically, it should be safe [06:38] hmm [06:38] ahi === administrator is now known as ubuntufan [06:38] lstarnes, when I have 4 virtual desktops the top panel disappears the one with the trash can etc on it [06:39] hi [06:39] anyone able to configure MDM successfully?

[07:01] <_Hierophant> ...I need to run a wine application through padsp aswell as mumble overlay (opengl overlay for mumble..wich is a teamspeak like program).

[07:07] <_Hierophant> hrm, I think its just more of an issue with the way the line is parsed and the aplications are launched. you would thinkg padsp would take one argument - mumble overay wich should take its one argument -wine wich should take its argument - application...but that doesnt seem to be the case. [07:07] thank you Myrtti [07:08] I've been trying to access the settings from inside stickam [07:08] I've been browsing google for 2 hours and just as you posted that link I also stumbled upon it [07:08] Well I just got Ubuntu up and running on my Dell XPS m1530, and I came in here to say just one thing: Wireless internet support is NOT OPTIONAL. I nearly abandoned the Ubuntu install because of that. Whatever you've got to do to support BCM43xx out of the box, JUST DO IT. [07:08] whatvn, I remember, I edited /etc/ppp/resolv.conf?

[11:17] might have to :/ [11:17] rabidweezle tried dpkg-reconfigured scponly and choose to "install chroot"-version [11:17] ooh [11:18] rabidweezle isnt that supposed to help? [11:18] Hi all, is there anyone that can help me install drivers for a wifi adapter? the readme files aint making much sense [11:18] jambus I dunno :( [11:19] I'm starting to feel worthless on this problem sorry jambus [11:19] rabidweezle thanks anyway. [11:21] * rabidweezle deletes his bottom panel and replaces it with avant-window-navigator [11:21] <__machine> which package do i need to install to be able to execute .jar files? preferably without installing a billion dependancies that i dont need (e.g. X anything) [11:21] sun-java6 [11:21] then it's java -jar foo.jar [11:22] wassup? [11:23] sorry __machine, it's sun-java6-jre [11:23] <__machine> rabidweezle: when i do apt search java6 i see java6-runtime, java6-runtime-headless, and java6-sdk... do i just install java6-runtime-headless ? this is on hardy [11:23] rabidweezle: I installed the acetoneISO, unfortunately it is still unable to mount my .mdf which claimed as a muti-sector mdf [11:24] __machine, sun-java6-jdk [11:24] digitalsatori, lemme see if I can find an app to convert it to an iso for you, might work better [11:24] <__machine> rabidweezle: will that install anything X related that i dont need? [11:25] __machine remove the headers, you don't need that, just do sun-java6-jre [11:25] jre = java runtime enviroment [11:26] aka, that's the part that runs the jars [11:26] digitalsatori, I "believe", but now sure, than you can rename the mdf to iso and it will work [11:26] not sure* [11:27] I've done it like that a few times [11:27] <__machine> rabidweezle: it doesnt appear to build anything... http://pastebin.com/d9f3bac4 [11:27] <__machine> says not a real package [11:27] rabidweezle: thank you, trying [11:28] __machine, try sun-java[tab] and see what you get [11:28] if you get a sun-java5-jre you can use that too [11:28] * rabidweezle uses jaunty64 so is using that as a point of refference for the packages [11:29] and if all else fails __machine, just type in java, and it should tell you what packages provide it [11:30] hey people. I am using networkmanager on ubuntu, but want to use tcpdump to analyse network traffic. Where can I find the network devices? [11:30] ifconfig [11:30] networkmanager reports that wlan0 is connected and has an ipaddress [11:30] SmokeyD: how about wireshark ?? [11:30] SmokeyD, [11:30] but there is no /dev/wlan0 [11:30] rabidweezle: I mean the device files [11:31] ooh [11:31] * rabidweezle looks [11:31] shadeslayer: I want to use tcpdump since I know it well and is good.

[11:33] neither that or /dev/net [11:33] * rabidweezle thinks [11:33] I've never heard of a program call the network board like that though [11:33] usally you just state eth1, wlan0 or whatever [11:34] i asked you about kubuntu upgrade while back and you recommended alternate install cd, can i skip that and upgrade my current intrepid? i have lots to reset again with fresh install [11:34] cryingtux: lol...did you read..the alternate cd can be used to upgrade :) [11:34] I do all my upgrades with the update manager :/ [11:34] Does anyone know why the package ubuntu-xen-server doesn't work on Jaunty? it fails to create a kernel and upgrade grub [11:34] Doesn't fail, no errors or anything...just doesnt do it [11:35] rabidweezle: alot can go bad with that [11:35] Whoop: Because Xen isn't supported in Ubuntu anymore. [11:35] Really :-| [11:35] oh how? [11:35] Why is the package still there... [11:36] cryingtux: after you download the CD just mount it and theres a script in the CD labeled upgrade something...run it as root in a terminal :) [11:36] rabidweezle: i ran sudo update-manager -d and it tells me no upgrades available [11:36] no need to burn a cd too :) [11:36] Whoop: *shrug* [11:36] shadeslayer: this sounds easy and safe [11:36] humpf [11:36] Shall have to start compiling myself then :-| [11:37] Or take the easier option and switch back to debian [11:37] the upgrade manager pretty much tells you there is a distro upgrade, make sure your software sources on the updates tab shows "release upgrade" and normal releases [11:37] cryingtux: update-manager -d ?? [11:37] Whoop: Xen was dropped for the favoured KVM. [11:37] So, yeah, ... use KVM like everyone else is ;) [11:37] favoured, why? [11:37] cryingtux: ps the update manager shows " new distro available " at the top [11:37] please help http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7398274#post7398274 (iptables, forwarging) [11:37] I'm running xen on 40 machines dude... [11:37] even update-notifier-kde -u brings no upgrades [11:37] Its not a simple drop the hat and move [11:37] Whoop: Because everyone prefers KVM? [11:38] Why? [11:38] Everyone isn't an answer >_< [11:38] I'm not refusing to switch, just not moving without a reason to [11:38] I do NOT like the new Amarok. Anyone know how to revert back to 1.4 from a repository? [11:38] because everyone else does is the worst reason [11:38] and KDE mem usage new heights :) [11:38] +reaches [11:39] misteralexander, you could download the deb from a backports mirror somewhere and install that [11:39] rabidweezle: that was a good suggestion. tcpdump -i wlan0 works instead of using tcpdump -i /dev/wlan0 [11:39] Whoop: Noone wanted to support a separate kernel for Xen, and the server team decided to only support KVM. [11:39] So thats not everyone, just Ubuntu? [11:39] but using just tcpdump returns "no suitable device found" [11:39] Whoop: Yeah. [11:39] rabidweezle -> where might i find a "Backports Mirror"? I've been looking on the KDE site & Amarok site, but they REALLY only want you downloading the new one. [11:40] SmokeyD, grats [11:40] misteralexander, lemme see, gimme a min [11:40] Windows runs on KVM? [11:40] you said what version again? [11:40] Whoop: But KVM is a built-in Linux kernel module. [11:40] so because the device files aren't where tcpdump expects, it can't autodetect them, but if you specify a name, it can. Weird, but as long as it works I am happy :) [11:40] 1.4 [11:40] rabidweezle -> K. [11:40] cryingtux: so what did you choose ?? [11:41] jpds: I know. But does Windows run on KVM? I cna't use it unless Windows will run on it (with hardware virtualisation) [11:41] Whoop: http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/Guest_Support_Status [11:41] misteralexander, is that 32 or 64 bit?

[12:44] sudo [12:44] Hi, I got a big problem : I'm not anymore in the sudoers file (sudo impossible), my account must have been hacked, I don't have a CD ROM drive, I want to re install Ubuntu, I have an internet connection and a USB drive [12:44] http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2008/05/09/a-root-shell-on-ubuntu-the-right-way/ Root shell the 'right' way :) [12:44] !usb | jet_ [12:44] is it possible to reinstall ubuntu without these super user rights, knowing my situation ? [12:45] i need su command for install java plugin [12:45] lol iono there might be some legitamate reason he needs to use root account although I highly reccoment that you don't login as root [12:45] reccommend* [12:45] Lokendra: no you dont. You can use sudo. [12:45] jet_: I think Ubuntu has a tool in System -> Administration, that creates bootable USB. [12:45] wouldnt recovery mode help you with that no-root stuff? [12:45] jet_: bah.. the bot is dead.. you can install from an usb-drive.. I don't know the specifics though [12:45] yeah grawity , but I am no more in the SUDOERS file [12:45] !java > Lokendra [12:45] Lokendra: 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-exctras' should grab java and flash, and other bits you proberly want also. [12:45] jet_: That doesn't require sudo, IIRC. [12:45] jet_: boot into recovery mode and change that [12:45] yes it does [12:46] Slart, how do I do that? [12:46] what Slart says [12:46] jet_: reboot.. and press esc to get the grub menu.. there should be one boot option for regular boot..and a recovery option [12:46] jet_: Okay... reboot Ubuntu and in the boot menu select Recovery mode (you may need to press ESC when it says) [12:46] jet_: you'll get a root shell where you can do your changes [12:46] ok, and then I'll be able to change my root passwd? [12:46] passwd [12:46] jet_: Root normally has no password, better would be to add yourself to sudoers. [12:47] jet_: no, change your sudoers file so you can use sudo [12:47] user@user-laptop:~$ sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-exctras [12:47] [sudo] password for user: [12:47] Reading package lists... Done [12:47] Building dependency tree [12:47] Reading state information...

[12:47] how should I add myself to sudoers ? [12:47] vim /etc/sudoers ? [12:47] Lockendra: you've made a typo [12:47] Lokendra: please dont paste stuff here.. especially when the problems is just a silly typo === dballester is now known as dbm [12:47] should be extras not exctras [12:47] jiatong,: We don't support a root password so don't suggest one unless you are going to be here 24/7 to help someone who has problems as a result of having one, many thanks ;-) [12:47] Sorry, I don't know anything about is dead!?

[12:50] I'm not in the sudoers anymore [12:51] jet_: you should use visudo from root (or recovery mode) to recreate the sudoers file [12:51] I DONT HAVE ANY ROOT ACCESS [12:51] is the anyone that can have a look at my driver files for a wifi adapter? i need to install/compile from source [12:51] sorry to use caps, but you guys... [12:51] jet_: hence recovery mode (reboot and choose recovery mode from the grub screen) [12:51] ok, i love you boss_mc [12:51] gonna try this one [12:52] jet_: nice to know...

Slart tries to be a very short straw [13:03] hi [13:03] and a lot are for windows [13:03] tuntun: ubuntu != linux so configs betwen will be different and performance may be different [13:04] tuntun: windows has a lot of support so a lot of stuff will work [13:04] tavi: I can't find it in the repos so I guess you'll have to try those mirrors one by one until you find one that works [13:04] tuntun: does the high usage happen for all users? [13:05] dvb works great in Kaffeine though... [13:06] tuntun: ok then you have isolated the issue to mythtv [13:06] ActionParsnip, I don't know [13:06] tuntun: create a new user and log in as it, then use the thing as normal [13:06] tuntun: if its ok then we know its the mythtv setup for the user, but mythtv is fine [13:07] tuntun: if not, then we know it is mythtv itself or the settings you are using [13:07] #ubuntu-de [13:08] slart this is it [13:08] ActionParsnip, I messed with alot of the settings just to get it to work.

[13:19] klenix: not that i know of, not used it since i used mandrake [13:19] back in the day [13:19] *sigh* [13:20] !mint > klenix [13:20] klenix, please see my private message [13:20] !mintsupport > klenix [13:21] got a laptop with Atheros 242x wifi.

[13:22] cole_c: right, it appears the wireless card uses a ralink chipset [13:22] ziroday yup [13:22] skyl: python-dev is defintely in the in the repos. [13:23] cole_c: and that ought to be all setup for you be default [13:23] witam [13:25] ziroday i did iwlist scan and it dosent pick any of the networks up [13:25] cole_c: can you pastebin lsmod please [13:25] ziroday ok [13:27] cole_c: err is the wireless card connected via usb? [13:27] ziroday http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d4b62cace [13:28] ziroday yes its a usb [13:28] cole_c: apologies, I'm completely on the wrong track here (been looking up your ethernet card). Could you pastebin lsusb please :) [13:28] ziroday lol ok :) [13:29] ziroday http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d5807000 [13:30] cole_c: thank you [13:30] cole_c: hmm I'm not seeing an awful lot there, you sure the wireless card is plugged in? [13:31] ziroday yup, it is, i'll unplug it and plug it in again [13:31] cole_c: okay, and please do lsusb -v this time :) [13:31] How do I create an Ubuntu backup, i.e. documents, settings, firefox tabs/bookmarks, etc, as i need to reinstall karmic again?? [13:32] !backup | xteejx [13:32] xteejx: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [13:32] is there any magic command to tell me what kind of motherboard i have? i have a frankenstein pc that i got from someone, and ir eally, really do not feeling opening it up to find out whats in it. [13:32] ziroday, I must be so stupid missing that on the Wiki lol Thanks [13:32] not being lazy, it's just up and ruinning under a pile of routers, cables and other stuff [13:33] ok, maybe a bit lazy... [13:33] neoTheCat: sudo dmidecode | more [13:33] neoTheCat: sudo lshw might tell you the information [13:34] ziroday: thank you! you just saved me from having to get off my fat ass and move stuff :) [13:35] neoTheCat: have fun [13:37] what happens if you have a package installed and then you ./configure some source over it? [13:38] skyl: bad things? ./configure won't do anything, but sudo make install is likely to cause issues [13:38] ziroday right, so it is best to --purge if I am going to sudo make install something? [13:38] skyl: yep! [13:39] the best would be to get the source from repos, patch them and rebuild a deb, install that... [13:39] is there a specific iso for linux netbooks? [13:39] er .. netbooks in general. [13:39] but then it might be hard to get that sudo make install back out? or if I aptitude install over a make install it is okey ... hmm [13:40] the-erm1 regular ubuntu works pretty good for my eee [13:40] ziroday: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d44d67020 [13:40] the-erm1: there is the ubuntu netbook remix [13:40] skyl I had problems with things like the dropdown menu being too high. [13:41] the-erm1 people are using gentoo and slackware and all sorts of things on them [13:41] ziroday: that's what I was wondering about. [13:41] I have an acer aspire 1 [13:41] nice little machine. [13:41] I'm running crunchbang linux on it. Works pretty good. [13:41] anyone running ubuntu off external usb drive? [13:41] the-erm1: http://www.canonical.com/projects/ubuntu/unr [13:41] !usb > relive [13:41] relive, please see my private message [13:42] Myrtti so will hardy get wod_wsgi 2.5 any time soon? probably not ... [13:42] the-erm1: i run puppy on netbooks personally [13:42] ActionParsnip, not as live cd [13:42] skyl: file a bug report to request it for karmic [13:42] ActionParsnip: doesn't puppy always run as root? [13:43] the-erm1: not if you install it, it runs as user. Only the live cd always runs as root [13:43] ok [13:43] cole_c: hmm, do you have a cell phone or anything similar plugged in currently? [13:44] ziroday: yes, im having to use the cell phone as a modem to connect to the internet till i can connect using the wifi adapter [13:44] I was doing some work on a computer that my Niece found in the trash, and puppy was the only distro I managed to get running on it. However her being a windows user I installed 98 on it ... ugh [13:45] cole_c: okay, well I can't find any other devices besides the cell phone connected via USB. Do you have another machine you can test the wireless card on? [13:45] I should have just installed puppy on it, and told her that it was impossible to get going in windows. [13:45] But alas I try not to lie. [13:45] !offtopic | the-erm1 [13:45] Hi [13:45] the-erm1: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [13:45] ziroday: yes, i have another laptop running ubuntu [13:46] Sorry to offend the cult of ubuntu [13:46] good bye now. [13:46] ActionParsnip, i have a 250 gb 3.5 inch external drive. want to use it as ubuntu on laptop [13:46] anybody with a dell1530 got the internal mic working? Here it is working but it is recording really low [13:47] cole_c: hmm, I'm not really sure sorry. It's not detected in the lsusb output, so either a) something really screwy ubuntuwise is happening b) the usb port is naft c) the wireless card is naft [13:47] cole_c: what does ifconfig -a display? [13:47] lo all [13:47] ziroday: lsusb command gives this "Bus 004 Device 011: ID 148f:2573 Ralink Technology, Corp." [13:48] cole_c: odd, I'm not seeing that in the pastebins [13:50] ziroday: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d4502b19b [13:50] cole_c: mmm, that appears a bit better. Can you pastebin your lsusb again [13:50] yay! wsgi2.5 [13:51] Hey, any potential issues I should know about when trying to upgrade from 8.10 to 9.04? [13:51] hi all [13:51] I am a newbie to ubuntu [13:51] Grath: see the upgrade instructions and the release notes [13:51] !notes | Grath [13:51] !notes [13:52] Grath: and disable and remove any apps installed from PPA's and externel repo's [13:52] ziroday: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d7a5488be [13:52] cole_c: ha! it appears now [13:52] Sorry, PPA? I'm a newbie [13:52] ziroday: awwww kool :) [13:52] cole_c: but I guess network manager wouldn't be working by any chance now? [13:52] Grath: Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) release notes can be found here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyJackalope/ReleaseNotes [13:52] Grath: if you don't know what one is, you probably don't need to worry [13:52] Grath: if you don't know what it is then you don't need to worry about it :) [13:53] Alright [13:53] ziroday: i dont think so im only using kppp [13:53] Grath Personal Package Archive [13:53] I migrated from gentoo. I was wondering if prior files in the home directory would cause any trouble with the new ubuntu system [13:53] cole_c: hmm I'm not really familiar with kde. Does sudo iwlist wlan0 scanning show wireless networks? [13:54] for instance everytime I start a new terminal I see this message: dircolors: /etc/DIR_COLORS: No such file or directory [13:54] How do I avoid that? [13:54] cd /media/disk-1/Downloads/office [13:54] ziroday, yes [13:54] !ppa > Grath [13:54] hi, i have problems when resuming from sleep in 9.04 (it worked in 8.10) i need some info, is there a log to read what happens? is the problem in the kernel? maybe i should upgrade to 1.6.29-30 [13:54] Grath, please see my private message [13:54] nsahoo: can you pastebin your ~/.bashrc please [13:54] nsh: sorry, do I know you? [13:54] nsahoo: just chmod + chown them so they are accessible wth the new user, you 'll need sudo for both [13:54] hi folks [13:55] if there are any qcad users out there, is it possible to draft in mm and show dimensions in inches (because thats how hardware is bought) [13:55] ziroday, i don't think so. but yes, sudo iwlist scanning will list access points [13:55] nsh: ah sorry, your cole_c :) [13:55] I thought I had kerberos all ready to go for authentication. In fact, I logged in and out, no problem. [13:55] Is Ubuntu server only console based ? [13:55] JenniferB2: yep [13:55] OI [13:56] nsh: well if sudo iwlist wlan0 scanning shows AP's then your card is working. Getting it to work with knetworkmanager is something best suited for #kubuntu as I'm not really familiar with kde sorry [13:56] thats not good [13:56] JenniferB2: yes; but you can installa graphical interface on top of it easily [13:56] However, after a reboot, I can't login. I'm thinking that I have to explicitly tell services to start up both the kerberos server and the kdc. [13:56] como instalo o AMSN ? [13:56] ziroday: iwlist scan says: wlan0 no scan results [13:56] sounds complex [13:56] JenniferB2: what do you want to do with it? [13:56] JenniferB2: sure it is, lower impact on server with resources. less services running = greater security [13:56] cole_c: are you nsh? [13:56] could I install the normal ubuntu gui interface ? [13:56] JenniferB2: if you need a desktop system install the desktop [13:56] JenniferB2: just « sudo aptitude install (k|x)ubuntu-desktop » and you are done [13:56] what is it called? [13:56] ziroday: nsh? [13:56] JenniferB2: you can but then you may as well install the desktop system [13:57] JenniferB2: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [13:57] what if I want to run a server [13:57] So, is there a way I can bypass kerberos authentication so I can fix things up? [13:57] Hi all! Is it safe to upgrade libc6 to a newer version without breaking anything? Can I use the jaunty .deb in my intrepid install? [13:57] I write this line on crontab >> "@reboot mcedit". However, when the system reboots, the program doesn't get executed. Why could this be? [13:57] JenniferB2: you have now gained nothing by installing the server system [13:57] JenniferB2: then desktop env is a waste of resources [13:57] it doesn't matter performance wise? [13:57] #ubuntu-tr [13:57] Heh, 'What do I need to create and use my Ubuntu CD?' 'A blank CD and the ability to "burn" blank CDs' - I assume "burn" is in quotation marks so people don't think you actually have to light the CD on fire? [13:57] cole_c: sorry, somebodies messing around :). So iwlist doesn't work :( [13:57] I don't have a root password, per the install instructions, so I can't login as root. [13:57] i have basic remote shell access to an ubuntu host via ssh. from there i was wondering if i could enable and configure xdmcp [13:57] JenniferB2: you can run server like apps from the desktop system [13:57] johnfg: you dont log on as root, use sudo / gksudo [13:58] JenniferB2: I installed a SQUID server [13:58] well, sure.. but then comes tousands of applications .. thats probably not the case with the server edition [13:58] loffe: no it is not safe... of all the packages of a dsitribution the libc is probably the most likely to cause problems if upgraded separatly [13:58] squid.. please elaborate:) [13:58] ActionParsnip, but I can't do that from the login screen, can I? [13:58] JenniferB2: true, the server edition gives you maximum free ram and no x server running [13:58] JenniferB2: the server version has access to the same repo's/programs as the desktop version of ubuntu does :) [13:58] ziroday: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d7b55bddd [13:59] johnfg: no, but you dont need root, with sudo / gksudo you can do everything that root can do. Thats why the account is disabled [13:59] cole_c: err sorry, so iwlist wlan0 scanning does not work? [13:59] erUSUL, ok. I wanna try out the arduino platform, and they say this. Bottom of page: http://www.arduino.cc/playground/Linux/Ubuntu [13:59] JenniferB2: Sorry (pressed enter by mistake)!! For work, its a proxy server, I just used desktop ubuntu and it works GREAT!! [13:59] JenniferB2, Be aware, too, that the server kernel is *not* the same kernel as desktop, but one that has been optimized for server. [13:59] johnfg: it also adds security if it is disabled as there is a 0% chance of loggin on as the account [13:59] I'm also gonna be setting up a new computer with Ubuntu... ubuntu-9.04-desktop-i386.iso.torrent is the one I want to grab, right? I have an 8.10 install disc around somewhere, but newer distribution generally = better [13:59] johnfg: so an attacker must guess username AND password [14:00] erUSUL, To upgrade gcc-avr I need a newer libc6, and that feels risky... [14:00] Grath: yep [14:00] Alright [14:00] ActionParsnip, OK, I agree, but that's not the problem. Is there a way for me to login and fix up what I messed up? [14:00] ziroday: wlan0 no scan results [14:00] * Grath hopes the sound card will work right with Ubuntu... don't wanna have to install XP just so the media comp will work right [14:00] loffe: no a newer libc6 a newer "avr-libc" not the same thing [14:00] It may be just telling the system to start up kerberos. [14:01] johnfg: you can boot to root recovery console from grub and fix stuff there (from the console itself or make a new user whom is a member of the admin group and login as that) [14:01] erUSUL, well, gcc-avr depends on a newer libc6 [14:01] loffe: so it should be pretty safe to do the upgrade [14:01] * serialsito back home [14:01] cole_c: bummer, whats the model of that wireless card again? [14:01] loffe: :| [14:02] ziroday: lol its edimax [14:02] cole_c: okay, and pastebin lsmod for me again please [14:02] ziroday: ok :) [14:02] ActionParsnip, So, is the recovery console at the grub menu? Or do an e, to get into edit mode, then e again to edit, and add s at the end of the line for single user mode? [14:02] loffe: well at this point is up to you... why not do the full upgrade ? [14:03] johnfg: esc when grub shows -> select recovery mode for your kernel and then select root, you now have a console with which you can fix what you need [14:03] cole_c: I'm not sure I can help you any further, but http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=757607 should [14:04] erUSUL, I've thought about it. But my experice tells me upgrading sometimes breaks. So i will wait till I have a spare computer, just to be safe [14:04] loffe: ok; fair enough [14:04] ziroday: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d3bf5def [14:05] ziroday: ok, thanx for trying :) [14:05] cole_c: sorry :) [14:05] ziroday: no probs :) === SirDerigo is now known as Guest16650 [14:08] Problemas Olá!

[14:22] how can I debug this issue? [14:22] hey people, I just rebooted my xen virtual machine guest running Ubuntu. It doesn't start anymore after giving a reboot command [14:22] if i try to do the manual way , it works, that is , ifconfig wlan0 up , iwconfig wlan0 essid any , dhclient wlan0 , ping google.com , it works , but not via NetworkManager [14:23] good morning...again === root is now known as Guest25760 [14:24] Well, I installed irssi so i can get some help from the console. [14:25] I tried to change the password for myself, and it went to kerberos, but I get an error about the token. [14:25] could someone tell me how to use picturebox with alpha channel in gambas? [14:25] Guest25760: irssi is fun [14:25] :( [14:25] sriramoman: what's up [14:25] hey, anyone know a good prog to convert avi, wmv, divx to psp mp4format on ubuntu ? [14:25] * fumbles is testing a theme...using this channel since so many people talk [14:25] kryle: mencoder, ffmpeg, avidumix. and --> winff has presets for that [14:25] sid_lug: I'd like to know how to use picturebox with proper transparency in gambas. [14:25] Hi. Could I ask: After reboot my sound card works. Then after some time, it stops - no more sound at all. For example "Sound Preferences", all set as default. Sound playback is "autodetect". After reboot, if I click "test" it works. After some time it is not working anymore. I think, it is because of pidgin. Is there any fix or work around? Like restart alsa without reboot? [14:25] I've got *K* in my /etc/shadow, so it looks to kerberos. Can I just delete that, then change the password? [14:26] Guest25760: what are you trying to do? [14:26] Dr_Willis: are those by commandline or are anyone visual ? === NDPTAL86 is now known as NDPTAL85 [14:26] sid_lug: no idea mate about your problem [14:26] hey anyone have any idea about my NM issue , guys? === SirDerigo is now known as Guest38822 [14:27] sid_lug: what's your issue. [14:27] Myrtti: Well, I thought I had kerberos working fine for authentication. Worked logging in and out, but now, after a reboot, I can't login. [14:28] sriramoman: well , to start with i have iwl3945 kernel module loaded in my configuration , but I can't seem to get NetworkManager to work, [14:28] So, I need to get where I can have a normal login, and try to fix what's wrong (which I'm not sure of). [14:28] sriramoman: if i try to do the manual way , it works, that is , ifconfig wlan0 up , iwconfig wlan0 essid any , dhclient wlan0 , ping google.com , it works , but not via NetworkManager [14:28] kryle: yes to both quesstions. :) most of the gui ones use the ffmpeg/mencoder to do the work [14:28] sriramoman: the NetworkManager applet icon on the top panel doesn't have anything enabled. [14:28] kryle: try winff first [14:28] Dr_Willis: Thank you !! [14:28] sid_lug: check if your dhcp is set properly [14:28] So, should I just delete the *K* then try passwd user at the cli? [14:29] sriramoman: dhclient wlan0 , works so i suppose networkmanager should also work [14:29] What's the cli command for adding a new user? Is there one? [14:29] is it possible to exclude some applications from a vpn connection? [14:30] sid_lug: I don't mean that way. install network-admin and configure it the easy way and see. for me everything works if I set all the interfaces to roaming mode :D [14:30] Dr_Willis: cant find any "winff" is it full name ? =) [14:30] sriramoman: network-admin , is that the package name? [14:30] Dr_Willis: nw,, found it =) [14:31] Any ideas? otherwise I'll just give what I suggested a try.

Plus, as I remember, it modify my 'interfaces' file... Which I do not like. Recently I read about installing firewall and again something about conflicts with network manager. [14:32] mmm4m51: so what do you use mate ? [14:32] sid_lug did you unlock the network manager? [14:32] sid_lug: they said "net. mngr. is beta".

Intel graphics are the easiest to get going on linux though [14:57] tj83_; hmm....are you sure about this [14:57] they're cheap crap, but they've generally got fantastic drivers for linux. i dont know that you can get dual-head working well with them in 9.04 though, since kernel modesetting's not enabled in it.

[15:35] <]Spectre[> yes n0gear-desk,but it's hard to get it working [15:35] dude, the alternate is text based... sometimes this works around graphics problems during install.

[15:36] <]Spectre[> change video board,or don't use the compiz [15:36] !alternate | dude [15:36] dude: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD.

[15:43] which is the best IP Blocker for ubuntu other than mobloquer [15:43] hi, question. i have an eeepc, just put ubuntu on it, it comes with two ssd drives, 1 8gb for the os, and one 32gb for storage. the 32gb one is owned by root and i cant read/write to it. can someone tell me (or link a website) how to change permissions, is chmod or editing fstab better? [15:44] i have an issue with ubuntu 9. on the installation it asks for my sata drives with a question box, i choose to activate but the 2cnd line on the partitioning window isnt available [15:44] i cant manage the sizes, mount point and stuff [15:44] stucks on this point. Is there a way to workarround the sata drivers detection? on ubuntu 8 and other distros i tested here the disk appears just fine [15:45] im thinking of installing jaunty but im concerned about audio, especially pulseaudio, flash and tuxguitar [15:45] is it working flawless already? [15:45] Raylz, use OSS [15:45] datacrusher: tuxguitar uses OSS ye [15:45] @Raylz: define flawless ;-) [15:45] flawless victory! remembers sf2 [15:45] mib_sz0z1nit: all apps are able to play sound [15:45] anyone please, have a faq on chmod/fstab? cant find anything :/ [15:45] datacenter: there is a good chance that those (the) sata drives are actually working on the IDE bus ...search google ide-generic ubuntu [15:46] mib_sz0z1nit: at the same time [15:46] Is it possible to create a bootable USB drive running Ubuntu? [15:46] what do you all recommend as the partition setup for a gaming computer? my HDD will be 500Gb, I was thinking of having enough of it partitioned for windows to store my games. But I also want to be able to access them from Ubuntu. Would I be able to play a windows game from my windows partition from wine? I'm just worried because I know it's fine to read from a windows partition using linux, but I heard it could be harmful to write to it, s [15:46] straterra: yes [15:46] I have sound in Jaunty but it's a bit quieter than in Intrepid [15:46] Are there instructions on it? [15:46] straterra: install ubuntu on your usb stick and install grub on it === Shaan7 is now known as Shaan7|dinner [15:46] straterra: you have to install the bootloader to the usb stick [15:46] very important [15:47] Dr_Phusis, you can even write to ntfs, its just not suggested [15:47] straterra: on the last prompt before you install it there is some button advanced i guess [15:48] datacrusher: there is a good chance that those (the) sata drives are actually working on the IDE bus ...search google ide-generic ubuntu [15:48] straterra: there you can set the device where the bootloader will be installed [15:48] kwork: ok, but does wine handle it differently? I won't be manually writing to it, but wine might, so because it is made to run windows programs those programs would write to the disk in a windows friendly way... right? or is it a potential problem? [15:48] Raylz: I'm struggling to install knoppix on a USB stick, and I can't get grub working [15:48] Any advice on good howtos? [15:48] hi, all the ubuntu guides for getting bluetooth headsets to work with skype seem outdated and dont work.. whats the current best way to get it set up? [15:49] kwork: OR, is there a way that I could have a sort of "neutral" partition that is safe for both OS's to read and write to? [15:49] mpwd: ger? [15:49] Dr_Phusis, mount the drive as read-only then nothing can happen [15:49] brk3: have you been able to pair your headset to the computer [15:49] fccf, is there a way to automatically load then on the boot installation screen? [15:49] I need help if possible [15:49] Dr_Phusis, sadly windows cant read any other filesystem besides ntfs/fat [15:49] magentar: well the game might actually need to write to the drive. [15:49] mpwd: there are some good ones but i only know german ones [15:50] mpwd: or some info in the gentoo doc [15:50] fccf: yes [15:50] Dr_Phusis, writing is generally pretty safe too [15:50] Raylz: I'll struggle with google translate [15:50] fccf: but i cant get it working with skype, and apparantly btsco isnt maintained anymore [15:50] kwork: ok what about this then, I make 3 partitions, linux, windows, and a third NTFS partition just for games. [15:50] Dr_Phusis, i cant say it will never brake, but alot days ago i used wine to run win games on win partition, and i didnot brake anything [15:50] Dr_Phusis, and that was like few years ago [15:50] I just need to know what to put in device.map anyway [15:50] a lot of guides say about adding things to .asound [15:50] but i dont think ubuntu uses [15:50] this [15:51] I am running Ubuntu 9.04 and I have the latest Evolution 2.26.1 installed, however we just installed Exchange 2007 [15:51] Dr_Phusis, if anything windows wanted to checkdisc, didnot brake the filesystem in any case [15:51] hello! I have a desktop pc which I want to vnc through my netbook. I want a user to have the normal 1440x900 resolution (audodetected and configured perfectly) and the other user to have a 1024x600 resolution, which doesn't appear on the menu. What do I do? [15:51] kwork, Dr_Phusis both reading and writing are perfectly safe [15:51] kwork: if it does "break" would that just mess up the partition it's on, or all partitions? [15:51] Evolution states I need to install evolution-mapi, but it is not a package within Ubuntu Manager [15:51] how can i go about obtaining this addon? [15:51] Dr_Phusis, i would think that nowdays with ntfs3g driver on linux, it will not brake [15:51] Dr_Phusis, but it wouldnot be safe for production enviroinment, but for home use why not [15:52] Dr_Phusis, you can also read ext2 partitions from windows (fs-driver.org) [15:52] Dr_Phusis, in the old days the writing to ntfs was dangerous, thou it did work even then [15:52] kwork: ok, but just to to clarify, what do we mean by "break"? if it just messes up the partition it's on then I wouldn't worry too much. But if it breaks my HDD, I'd rather not risk it lol. [15:52] magcius, read, not write [15:52] but i'd say thats equally unsafe [15:52] fccf, if i use the ide-generic option on the installation, will i compromise the performance after the installation? [15:52] magnetar even [15:52] datacrusher: to try it... press ESC at first grub screen during bootup - edit the line for your kernel - and add It to it... to make it perm edit /boot/grub/menu.lst as root [15:52] fccf, its a fresh install [15:53] the cpter gots no system [15:53] hello, can i install XBMC in kubuntu/ubuntu? thanks. [15:53] Dr_Phusis, basicaly if i would be you i would go with two partisions win/linux rather then 3 [15:53] Dr_Phusis, since ntfs is a closed format and microsoft decides to keep it secret, you will never know ;) it will only mess up the partition you are writing to though [15:53] Dr_Phusis, but its up to you [15:54] any1 know how? [15:54] Dr_Phusis, the thing is some games want to write to c:\ aswell not only d:\games [15:54] 1) will i need to do a format b4 installing? 2) alternate cd support more hardware? [15:54] Dr_Phusis, so i m not sure will you benefit from 3 parts [15:54] Dr_Phusis: I've never had a problem with 4 partitions (one ext3, one linux-swap, two ntfs partitions) [15:54] fat32 is probably the safest solution, though it sucks horribly. [15:54] magentar, didnt fat have some low filesystem size limit,aswell max file size limit [15:55] do you know where the splash image is located in ubuntu [15:55] i install my games twice, one time on my win partition, one time on my lin partition [15:55] magentar, 4gb or smt [15:55] filesize, yes [15:55] Dr_Phusis: my setup was an ntfs partition for media browsing from both OS's, and obvious ext3 for root, an ntfs for windows main partition [15:56] i had a ntfs disk that worked fine on linux and windows than window's chkdsk decided ruined it completely, don't know if it's wins or lins fault though [15:56] datacrusher: no performance compromise ... it is just communicating with the disk a little diff [15:58] Hi, anyone wanting to test the new version of Phatch (Photo Batch Processor)? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1178224 [15:58] TeamSpeak2 works ok on a Thinkpad T42, pulseaudio, and Ubuntu 8.04.2 as long as I do not use a headset.How can I enable the headset?

[16:42] TeamSpeak2 works ok on a Thinkpad T42, pulseaudio, and Ubuntu 8.04.2 as long as I do not use a headset.How can I enable the headset? [16:42] robhudson, because --without-recommends is an apt-get flag, not an aptitude one, i think [16:42] j0hn: b43-fwcutter is not installed by default ... you will need to install this for your wireless card to work [16:42] how to use usenet newsgroups? [16:42] maco i can't do any of that, basicly i had vista installed, shrunk it, installed ubuntu 9.04, but had only 10gb (seems like shrinking failed, had 40gb), now I'm trying to add the remaining 30 gigs I just shrunk from vista [16:43] pulseaudio is acting up from time to time (ubuntu 8.10), sometimes sound just stops working, system->preferences->sound->test says "connection refused", a simple "kill" on the pulseaudio process does not work, after a "kill -9; pulseaudio&" it works again though [16:43] Roland123: you will need a newsgroup server to log onto ... you can use groups.google.com fo rfree [16:43] iltar, ok...did you boot to a live cd and start up gparted, like i said? [16:43] (no errors in any of the logs btw) [16:43] No, i'm currently running it inside ubuntu [16:43] bakarat, should start it with start-pulseaudio-x11...but eh. its fixed in 9.04 since we have autospawn. itll just start back up if it goes AWOL [16:44] iltar, BAD IDEA! [16:44] iltar, NEVER resize a mounted partition [16:44] iltar, well...for that matter...i dont think it *can* be resized while mounted...which could be your problem... [16:44] Hah just did it with vista ^^ [16:44] maco, ah, how does the autospawn work? is there like a watchdog that from time to time checks if it is still up? :> [16:45] iltar, (unless you're using lvm or something) ....eh? vista lets you do things like that? O_O [16:45] Yes :D [16:45] !lnw [16:45] shrink command :) [16:45] Want to know the differences between Windows and Linux? This guide, called "Linux is Not Windows" is a pretty good read -- http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm [16:45] Hello, I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 64bit, Firefox wont save data entered in forms. The checkbox in preferences is checked. is this a known bug? [16:45] bakarat, no, pulseaudio spawns if anything tries to send sound to the device [16:45] xp already allowed it, but vista actually has it in the partition editor [16:45] bakarat, aaaah k [16:45] but i should boot from the live cd, and than? [16:45] maco, any idea why it is acting up btw? i have been running 8.10 since it came out and only recently has the problem started (month ago or something?) [16:46] iltar, i'd put that in the same category (Category D'oh!) as running fsck while mounted [16:46] bakarat, not really...general instability i guess [16:46] iltar: you will need to reboot into the live disk to shrink vista and grow the ubuntu partition - use System>Admin>Partitioner [16:46] When at live? [16:46] iltar, I cant figure out how to mount it [16:46] cd boot* [16:46] maco, hehe ok, thanks! :) [16:46] hey guys [16:46] once the live desktop is up run sudo gparted [16:47] Hello all..

And even thou it get's added to the "installed drivers"-list, it doesn't seem to work anyway.. Anyone knows a solution? [16:47] Well, I can kind of work around the login problem, but am not sure how to actually fix it. [16:47] n0gear: Do you know anything about getting Mozilla to play videos online? [16:47] The problem may be with when krb5-admin and krb5-kdc are starting up. [16:47] xiroV: you need to blacklist the linux module from loading [16:48] fccf, you mean, the preinstalled driver?

[17:33] Last thing I want to accomplish this year, and I get the rest of today and half of tomorrow... how would I go about setting up a PXE server that connect to the outside world on one NIC(connecting to a network with an existing DHCP server) and serves the PXE thing on another NIC? Also, not aiming for an install, but running it sort-of like a LiveCD. [17:33] Does anyone know how to paste text in a window by using a command? Or how to use a command line which means "middle-click"? [17:33] as stated above, no it is not muted int he sound mixer [17:33] OrEvA, what exactly happens when you turn the pc on?

[17:35] fccf, so you maybe got an idea about my question? [17:35] pwner: it was supposed to let you see ALL of the audio devices to ensure that it wasn't muted [17:35] OrEvA, Is your system quite old? It could need a new CMOS battery. [17:35] Can anyone name a good bitTorrent Client which is similar to uTorrent on Windows? [17:35] archman ... what file type are you saving as in gedit? [17:36] IHS_intern, Ubuntu has a nice implementation which does what you want [17:36] ManDay, Vuze is great and cross platform [17:36] pwner: as I have never used HDMI in ubuntu that is the only advice I can offer [17:36] !hdmi [17:36] Sorry, I don't know anything about hdmi [17:36] j0hn: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [17:36] ok, what i got was: alsamixer -V [17:36] alsamixer: option requires an argument -- 'V' [17:36] AlsaMixer v1.0.18 [17:36] Usage: alsamixer [-h] [-c ] [-D ] [-g] [-s] [-V ] [-a ] [17:36] pwner@ubuntu:~$ [17:36] pwner: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[17:36] thanks andbelo [17:37] lithax: No [17:37] ManDay : U can use transmission [17:37] ManDay, what about transmission? [17:37] oh, sorry about that. :) I now have a screen that looks like a DOS sound mixer, what am I supposed to do with it?

I have installed samba service and check the shared flag on the desired folder, after i have restart session but i still can't see the folder in the network place....some body could help me? [17:37] archman adding .txt might actually work [17:37] OrEvA, what's the order of your boot devices? [17:37] Hi - If I go to System/Shut Down and accidently click on Suspend or Hibernate - What is the best way to come back out of this mode ? ? === thiago_ is now known as tpresa [17:38] ManDay, no, it's GTK/GNOME [17:38] ManDay : nope it has a GUI [17:38] ManDay: transmission exists for gtk and gnome too [17:38] nikor, hit the power button [17:38] fccf, also found this, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=387280 check fragos post [17:38] Ah ok, and its "lightweight"? Then I'll get it! [17:38] external tools? [17:38] pwner: using the arrow keys you can navigate left and right, up and down will change the volume level and m with mute/unmute, if there is a MM under the bar it is muted, try scrolling over and see if HDMI shows anywhere [17:38] ManDay, there ain't many lighter [17:38] lithax: dvd-rom then hard drive [17:39] it worked. pci=nomsi did the trick [17:39] Thanks lithax [17:39] OrEvA, have you tried making the HD first boot device? [17:39] lithax: yes [17:39] Is HDMI supposed to show on the list along the bottom of the screen? if that's the case, I did not see HDMI anywhere [17:39] can someone help me bringing an e-mu 1212m sound card to work? [17:39] it's listed in lspci, but not in /proc/asound/cards [17:39] according to the alsa project page, it is supported [17:39] pwner: if you do not find HDMI anywhere I would suggest just trying to unmute everything that is not common, things like "LINE" does not need to be unmuted for instance [17:39] I have Master, Headphone, PCM, fron, front middle,... ect but no HDMI [17:40] I'm stuck, and still running slow. I have the terminal "open" so I can see all sorts of cool gibberish (to me), but I'm still running choppy. Is there any way I can put my system "back" to the previous version of Ubuntu, the one I had right before the most recent update? [17:40] Hello, i'm on 9.10 karmic, unloaded Alsa driver and i can't get it to reload the taskbar icon and sound output isn't presented!!! [17:40] OrEvA, can you pastebin your grub config [17:40] is there some hardware monitor that will let me see the voltage of my psu?

And the settings for show tabs from last time etc dont get saved [17:41] deever, do you have the ALSA firmware package installed? [17:41] hatter243: thanks [17:41] np [17:41] cabrey_, Yea - I have a friend that is NOT real computer friendly and I told him to hold in the power button for at least 6 seconds - he could not find that (the power button) I had to remind him it's the same button you use to start the computer. Just was wondering - I have never actually did this - I know to click on the Shut Down or Restart portion : ) [17:41] tavish, ensure that your user ownes the .mozilla folder and all subfolders [17:41] Ok, done [17:41] ManDay: sudo apt-get install transmission [17:41] ManDay : transmission is the default bit torrent client in ubuntu [17:41] OrEvA, it's in /boot/grub/menu.lst [17:41] still not working, however [17:41] archman: post #10 on that page discribes a simple solution ... if you go to prefrences in gedit and look at plugins .. and external tools.. the rest should be self explanitory [17:41] ManDay: it will install whatever packages required [17:41] Ok [17:41] hatter243: ok. chown tavish .mozilla ? [17:42] So "Transmission" is the meta-package? [17:42] nikor, suspend puts the computer in low power mode and hibernate turns the computer off, but saves where you were at [17:42] cabrey_, THanks [17:42] what is hardware restriction means [17:42] ManDay: yes, but it is installed by default in ubuntu [17:42] Is there a way to distinguish Meta- and real packages in synaptic? [17:42] Can anyone tell me how to install lighty with PHP and MySQL in 9.04? [17:42] lithax: the alsa firmware package? [17:42] tavish, chown -R tavish.tavish .mozilla/ If you see any messages about "cannot change permissions of blahblah" then you might have to sudo do it [17:42] jefinc, I uninstalled some stuff once...

[17:43] Thanks Slart [17:44] pwner: NVIDIA? [17:44] ManDay: right click on it.. click properties.. there is a background color setting somewhere in there [17:44] SAMBA + OpenOffice + local account = Works great SAMBA + OpenOffice + network account (LDAP,NFS) = files open in archive manager or prompt to install software that will open the file. but files opened in NFS mounted home directories open fine. Can anyone direct me to how SAMBA files are handled by Ubuntu? [17:44] ATI Radeon HD4830 [17:44] lithax: here it is "http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/188377/" [17:44] Slart, you may have misunderstood me [17:44] deever, alsa-firmware-loaders is the package, and I'm not sure if you need it. I'm not completenyl familiar with the E-MU drivers. in any event having it won't hurt [17:44] ManDay: oh.. you meant the windows.. [17:44] Indeed, sladen [17:44] sorry, slart [17:45] hatter243: it didnt work. the permissions were changed but it said Stale NFS file handle for 3 files prefs sessionstore and cache [17:45] ManDay: system, preferences, appearance.. choose a theme that doesn't have transparent borders [17:45] deever: there may be a module for e-mu - i remember seeing one in modconf [17:45] I tried to disable "Window Decorations" in Compiz-Mgm, but that disables the title-bar at all! [17:45] I'm in a pickle: I was trying to be all clever in partitioning my hd, and my root partition is just 2.8G. I'm stuck at 8.04 because the update manager says there isn't enough room in my / partition to complete the downloads.

The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [17:45] what is the key combination/hotkeys for turning off slowkeys? [17:45] ManDay, install Ubuntu Tweak, there is an option in that app [17:45] Well, I want to customize my theme to a point where it looks as it is right now, but without transparency on the titlebars [17:45] cabrey, no way to do it without an additional app? [17:46] RHorse: where do you get your name from? [17:46] moreia: reboot with live disk to repartition -- ie resize your partitions . can't do it any other way [17:46] ManDay, I don't think so, it's more of a "hidden setting," if you will [17:46] ok so what i did was system settings>accessibility>activation gestures tab and unchecked the "use gestures for activating sticky keys and slow keys" option and pressed apply. [17:46] RHorse: sounds like a beer hahaha [17:46] ok, well thank you for taking the time to try to help,ill come back and try again later [17:46] cabrey_, You know the saying "Can't teach and Old Dog new tricks" - I put Linux on his computer to help him out cause he keeps getting spyware using Windows - but he not ready for Linux - just to overwhelming I guess. [17:46] I can't coax aptitude to store stuff on another partition during the upgrade process? [17:46] j0hn it is a closely guarded secret [17:46] RHorse: haha === hello is now known as Guest51743 [17:47] moreia: store what stuff? [17:47] moreia: no, all of that stuff needs to go on the root partition [17:47] OrEvA, looks OK to me. when you boot, is the BIOS detecting the hard drive properly? [17:47] will that do what i want it to if i use a wireless keyboard? [17:47] nikor, yea he is probably already too comfortable with windows -- even tho we aren't ;) [17:47] cabrey_, too bad. I'm not willing to add another app just to tweak that. I would have expected that Compiz offered that. But speaking of themes, can I not just edit the theme accordingl? [17:47] tavish, do you have any bookmarks you feel like keeping from firefox? [17:47] I can't even get back to that window now, my taskbar is totally obscured. Add that to my two year old having a melt down, and I'll have to try again later. Thanks for your help, though- I appreciate it. [17:47] some one help me to share folders between two ubuntu pc???? [17:47] ManDay, themes use gtkrc files which are highly complex and very specific [17:47] @jrib the files needed to upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 [17:48] hatter243: yes, should i backup those? [17:48] moreia: the deb files? [17:48] cabrey_, thank you. [17:48] lithax: yes,when I start BIOS the it shows detection [17:48] Would home directories used with 8.10 cause issues if used with 9.04 ... is there anything that needs to be updated in the home directory manually. [17:48] tavish, ah, nevermind. Did you try chowning those folders with sudo? [17:49] cabrey_:we like things that are very complex and highly spacific [17:49] jmulloy your /home is your castle [17:49] @jrib not sure. the Distribution Upgrade gui gets as far as "Setting new software channels" and then complains that it needs a total of 101M free space on '/' and aborts. [17:49] TeamSpeak2 on a Thinkpad T42 works using the built-in microphone. But it does not rspond to the microphone of my headset, if I plug its plug in. How to troubleshoot? [17:50] fccf, you have fun editing theme files, I on the other hand will depend on other people :) [17:50] moreia: ah then you probably need to free up some space then [17:50] haiiiiiiiiiiiiiii [17:50] hatter243: which folders? i did for .mozilla and sub-folders [17:50] moreia: sudo apt-get clean? [17:50] OrEvA, then it's very odd. If it's not reaching grub every time, then it must be a BIOS or hardware issue somewhere. Did this just suddenly start happening? [17:50] cabrey_: I don't have any eye candy on my computers... [17:50] @jrib yeah, the gui suggested that. nothing doing. [17:50] cabrey_, Never was really (windows lover) - got tired off that real soon - same ol junk with vista - but worse - I like my computer to Just Work and not a bunch of problems - know what I mean... [17:50] moreia: well you can symlink some directories to another partition if you wish [17:50] lithax: yes , from today morning [17:51] @jrib that is what I was kind of hoping. [17:51] cabrey_, Need to be in offtopic for this anyway - thanks [17:51] fccf, it's a shame xD === SirDerigo is now known as DaRtH_VaDeR [17:51] moreia: you won't have to reinstall if you have room on another part of the drive ... just move the empty space around on the drive...

[17:52] does anybody know how to turn off slow keys? [17:52] OrEvA, added any new hardware recently? [17:52] ncfi1013__: system -> preferences -> keyboard should have an option somewhere [17:52] dropped it in the ocean perhaps :) [17:52] ncfi1013__: What do you consider "slow keys"? === DaRtH_VaDeR is now known as SirDerigo === SirDerigo is now known as SIrDerigo [17:53] However, gparted doesn't want to let me expand the '/' partition. [17:53] is the guy that needed the HDMI help still here? [17:53] I'm assuming there's a reason for that. [17:53] guys where do i get this cool 3d desktop for ubuntu jaunty? [17:53] lithax: nope but my dvd-rom also started some problems.....it has stopped reading dvds [17:53] j0hn, System > Preferences > Appearance [17:53] hey there guys ...i want to install apache and my sql .....how to ? === SIrDerigo is now known as SirDerigo [17:53] cabrey thanks [17:53] moriea: so reboot using live cd.. use the partition editor to... Step 1: resize the big partition smaller leaving the empty space next to the root partition step 2: resize the root ie / to fill the empty space [17:53] bullgard4: when you have to press a letter key and wait 5 to 10 seconds before the letter comes up [17:53] @moriea are you using a live CD [17:54] bullgard4: it's an accessibility option [17:54] OrEvA, perhaps try booting with the DVD drive rmeoved completely from the system [17:54] ncfi1013__: are you using gnome? [17:54] moreia: you cannot resize a partition while it is mounted ... use live cd [17:54] OrEvA: go check the IDE and/or SATA cables. Boot it into BIOS and see if it can still see disks. Aside from that your looking at a bus controler/bridge controler/ide cotroler chip problem. [17:54] kde 4 slart [17:54] ncfi1013__: have you checked keyboard preferences? [17:55] ncfi1013__ , Slart : Thank you for your information. [17:55] yes [17:55] ncfi1013__: that's where the settings are in Gnome at least.. [17:55] This behavior is bizarre and I can't find even a hint on Google so I must not know what to search for. I have looked into mimetypes and open with and /usr/share/applications and everything seems fine but I cant get networked accounts to open "office type files" on SMB shares correctly. Any leads would be greatly appreciated! [17:55] slart [17:55] cabrey_, Slart, regarding transparency on title-bars I must assume that it's not theme-dependend. I tried out different themes but with all the titlebar becomes semi transparent on not-focused windows. [17:55] fccf: do you have one? [17:55] okay, thanks, that makes sense I think. [17:55] lithax: It boots ok without DVD drive [17:55] ManDay, yes [17:55] ManDay: oh.. perhaps it's a compiz thing.. if it's only non-focused windows.. [17:55] !ccsm | ManDay [17:55] ManDay: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion [17:56] ManDay, the only way I know to tweak that is ubuntu tweak (no pun intended) [17:56] Slart, probably - but I cant find it in the ccsm [17:56] mdm : pls explain what u r trying to say [17:56] ManDay, besides it does a lot more than just that [17:56] ManDay, you referring to the upper and lower panels on desktop? [17:56] deever: no I do not have a e-mu - I just remember seeing a module for it in modconf [17:56] OrEvA, then I guess we know where the problem lies. Try making sure all the cables are properly seated, if the problem recurs with the DVD drive connected, it looks like a new drive [17:56] cobra-the-joker: sudo apt-get install apache2 mysql-server [17:56] Yes, thanks again cabrey_. Doesnt seem very plausible to me, tho. The compiz-mgm offers virtually every option but I shouldnt be able to disable transparecny effect? [17:57] chuck_, no the metacity window bars [17:57] chuck_, simply the title-bar of windows [17:57] Indeed [17:57] fccf: ok [17:57] ok === SirDerigo is now known as ChAoSmAsTeR [17:57] ManDay, honestly the compiz config app is a mess and is not usable IMHO [17:57] lithax: I have replaced my DVD drive [17:57] afternoon all [17:58] cobra-the-joker: the directory for the apache config will be /etc/apache2/sites-enabled [17:58] you ca always try simple simple-ccsm [17:58] wild4rd: evening! [17:58] OrEvA: assuming you did not change the BIOS settings, and assuming you did not add anything to the disk bus, your system is giving the signs and symptoms of a bad bus. On a PC a CPU acceess the memory by one bus and EVERYTHING else goes off another. The things that controll this are called bridge chips or the chips that interface one bus to another. If your bios can see disks one time and not another it usualy menas something from t [17:58] he brige chip to the disk controller is bad [17:58] ManDay: I can't really find anything either.. there is the "Opacity plugin" but I don't have that enabled [17:58] Same here [17:58] cobra-the-joker: and the default directory for your site will be /var/www === ChAoSmAsTeR is now known as SirDerigo [17:58] wildc4rd: evening! [17:58] is there an easy way to determine why an init script failed? [17:58] or why it didn't run? [17:58] The closest thing I can find is "Window Decoration", slart.

I have downloaded the .iso file for GNOME 2.26 - is it possible to install it by burning the .iso onto a CD ? [17:59] i'm looking to see why an init.d script failed or didn't run at all [17:59] kids? [18:00] ManDay: hmm.. let me search some more... there has to be a way to change it [18:00] whatvn, :D [18:00] Hello, i'm on ubuntu 9.04 and using eclipse 3.2 with PyDev.

[18:00] Desen, do you mean you downloaded a GNOME ISO from the GNOME site? [18:00] jonathanrwallace: /etc/init.d stores many init scripts [18:01] lithax yes [18:01] ManDay: looking at it.. thanks [18:01] hi just updated the software from I think 8.11 to 8.14 ? rebooted and got the message selected cylinder exceeds maxiumum supported bios.... dual core processor on the latptop and 2gb memory anyone any ideas - I then booted up on the earlier version through recovery.........but will this happen when I restart again ? [18:01] Desen, that'll be a love CD, and no you can't install it into Ubuntu [18:01] whatvn: right. is there some facility that logs what happens for those scripts? [18:01] Desen, If you want GNOME 2.26 you'll need to upgrade your version of Ubuntu [18:01] OrEvA you can test it by power cycling the box (phycially unplug the power cable when it is off and count to 10 before plugging it back in). If that boots and a soft reset will not then it is definatly a controller error [18:01] hola [18:01] Desen, I meant live CD! lol [18:01] jonathanrwallace: you meant all scripts fail?

That isn't recommended at it will be a pain anyway. Better to just upgrade ubuntu [18:02] jonathanrwallace: and see if any error appears [18:02] Desen, I wouldn't recommend it unless you'r einto masochism [18:03] my friend had me banned from this chat a few days ago because he wouldnt stop cursing [18:03] on Lenny stable [18:03] hehehehe [18:03] whatvn: k, thx. i'll do that === swiatOFF is now known as Swiatecki [18:03] !ask | randomguy [18:03] randomguy: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily).

[18:08] Looks like 5.8.5 [18:08] hello, is it important to use firewall (firestarter) in linux machine? thank you. [18:08] Desen, Perhaps try Enlightenment e17 or LXDE/OpenBox (but that's simpler than Xfce) [18:08] coral: you should ask in #winehq [18:08] petsounds: yes and no [18:08] petsounds: :p [18:08] coral: you should check to see if that is in the winehq appdb [18:08] Hello. Annoying problem. I was using HSDPA Modem (usb dongle) successfully, until i used a dongle of different provider, now I cannot use any. Is there anyway to remove changes that the new dongle must of made? I know it must be the cause of the problem. I cannot connect now with any dongle I'm trying [18:09] Wo0SLART, right clikc Network Manager > Edit Connections [18:09] petsounds: ubuntu shipps with - iptables - firestarter is just a control mechinism [18:09] petsounds: if you dont have a firewall, if it is on a public/semi public network, if its used as a content filter, yes. If not probbly no [18:09] @fccf I'm totally confused. /srv/apache2 is a directory with a lot of files in it. [18:09] (the dongle is identical manufacturer) [18:09] Desen, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enlightenment_(window_manager) [18:09] cabrey_ I've tried all I can through GUI [18:09] Wo0SLART : Try Gnome PPP [18:09] @fccf I mean, I put them there, but they've lived there for two years. [18:09] Wo0SLART, what is under the Mobile Broadband tab? [18:09] hi just updated the software from I think 8.11 to 8.14 ? rebooted and got the message selected cylinder exceeds maxiumum supported bios.... dual core processor on the latptop and 2gb memory anyone any ideas - I then booted up on the earlier version through recovery.........but will this happen when I restart again ? [18:09] this is in wine hq and i have found no help there. the only things that i can find are people saying that it is not supported yet and other people saying that it worked flawlessly for then [18:09] them* [18:09] cabrey_ a few connections I have added to no avail. [18:10] dmraid -ay list my raid devices...what do i do next to get it mounted [18:10] Wo0SLART, delete all of them, reboot, and readd your adaptor [18:10] cabrey_: how would I readd/remove adapter, it didnt require software [18:10] moriea: /srv is not a regular directory ... you really shouldn't use for a server directory ... the default directory for apache2 is /var/www [18:11] I have a laptop dual-booting xp/ubuntu. Windows screwed itself up, so I reinstalled, but now grub's not the boot loader. How can I fix this? [18:11] fccf, you use what you want [18:11] Wo0SLART, under edit connections > Mobile Broadband tab [18:11] anyone know anything about dmraid [18:11] Wo0SLART, remove each entry === Vudentz is now known as Vudentz_AWAY [18:11] whatvn: and I stick to the default .. it is easy [18:11] so remove all entries, reboot then add again. I will try it now [18:12] Any ideas why dhclient keeps getting ridiculously leases (~250 seconds) which it fails at renewing? This happens both at home and on campus, so it's unlikely to be a router problem. I'm running wpa_supplicant in the background, which seems to be doing fine. Nothing strange in the logs.

For example gome is not a window manager, metacity and compiz are. Gome is a desktop envioromnet, as are KDE, CDR and XFCE. It may be why you find window managers to lack features [18:12] Wo0SLART, not at all [18:12] coral: I set the boot partition in the bios? [18:12] Can anyone recommend some apps on Ubuntu... I'm running it side by side with MacOSX using parallels [18:12] Wo0SLART : Try Gnome PPP, it recognises ur usb modem and very easy to configure [18:12] question: sound works but startup sound is not working.

[18:17] moreia, I have tried that ... it will attempt to open the file but OpenOffice opens empty. [18:17] niet: 127.0.0.1 is loopback address [18:17] commander_: not sure, but that's the way to always make sure you basically always have the latest, add the http://www.winehq.org repo for Ubuntu, then you get a recant development version each time one is available on that repo [18:17] so ? [18:17] commander_, yes [18:17] After the build of kernel is complete, can I delte some files? Building the kernel has consequences, eating my space [18:17] i know [18:17] commander_, 1.1.22 is the latest wine release [18:17] jmulloy: this only happens on smb shares? [18:17] mmm4m5m: on the second page - you need to make sure you have sound files available to play and have it enabled [18:17] so . telnet -b 127.0.0.1 localhost 100024 [18:17] is valid session [18:17] niet: so go and find what is localhost :-p [18:17] I am trying to use grep to search a bunch of folders for a file.

It is best you stick to the stock kernel and use modules [18:18] resno use ls filename | grep [18:18] moreia, 9.04 and if I drag it to the desktop it opens fine.

[18:24] mweichert, what device is that? [18:25] Say, can I replace metacity by just another WM of my choice and compiz and gnome will still work as before? [18:25] whatvn: i didnt mean to put it right below your answer [18:25] ManDay, yeah [18:25] matrixblue, yes but I forget what happened .. I think it gave an error. It was not successful though I can log out and check. [18:25] matrixblue, they are cifs network shares on a windows server [18:25] ManDay, yes, something like openbox? [18:25] jmulloy: "local admin account" is what? a smb user or a local workstation user? [18:25] samwhose: have you enabled the driver in /etc/X11/xorg.conf [18:26] jmulloy: and what OS is running on the smb server? [18:26] matrixblue, cabrey_ great news. Well I was always a big fan of fluxbox [18:26] ManDay, use --replace [18:26] matrixblue, no he can replace it using a setting in gconf [18:27] matrixblue, 'cuse me...? [18:27] ManDay. cabrey_ I apologize I was thinking of window decorators [18:27] moreia, the primary local workstation account ... the accounts it does not work with authenticate to an LDAP server and have their home directories mounted vie NFS. [18:28] Oh, ok. So using Synaptic to just install FLUXBOX and apply it (either through some gui or in a xorg-config file) is okay? [18:28] ManDay, in that case Gnome will work but Compiz is a Window Manager so it won't (unless I'm mistaken) [18:28] moreia, So after I login to a "network" account I can open files fine in their NFS home directories but they cannot open "group" files shared via smb. [18:28] mweichert, sounds above my level, sorry [18:28] Manday.. on the login screen choose options >select session to select fluxbox\ [18:29] matrixblue, I can't understand that. After all I thought I was using METACITY as WM at the moment.

[18:30] ManDay, MetaCity is also a window manager [18:30] jmulloy: unfortunately, I'm stumped too. [18:30] can i install wine 1.1.22 thru terminal? [18:30] ManDay, yes or emerald, but emerald is old and nobody or develops uses it anymore [18:30] moreia, I am super stumped ... been searching Google for days and haven't even had a slightly off topic hit. [18:30] jmulloy, moreia same here [18:31] ManDay, uses or develops it* [18:31] Okok, so in fact it should stay as it is (without fluxbox) if I want to use compiz... [18:31] moreia, I can't be the only one trying to run this setup. === Kapputtgarter is now known as Putt [18:31] jmulloy: ubuntu workstations accessing smb shares on an OSX server? No. You can't be the only person. [18:31] so, when I install the latest intel video driver from source, it gives the error "failed to load module "intel"". how do I load the module? [18:32] ManDay, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compiz#Decorators [18:32] fluxbox is a x windows environment === MaWaLe_ is now known as MaWaLe [18:32] g2g [18:32] moreia, matrixblue, what kills me is it works perfectly with a regular account it only fails on the network accounts ... which is what all my users will be using. === Putt is now known as Jehova [18:32] Now you got me confuzed, matrixblue. I only know DE and WM - what is a windows environment... jeez, i gotta read up [18:33] anyone here know if the itouch works with ubuntu [18:33] !desktop [18:33] A desktop environment is what "puts the pieces of a !GUI together". The available desktop environments in Ubuntu are !GNOME (ubuntu-desktop), !KDE (kubuntu-desktop), !Xfce (xubuntu-desktop), IceWM, !Fluxbox, WindowMaker (wmaker), FVWM and others - See also !Flavors [18:33] hi, i'm looking for a tool where i can choose special charakters... especially UTF-8 ones! [18:33] or french charakters.. just some special charakters [18:33] pw-toxic, Applications > Accessories > Character Map [18:33] cabrey_, I know what a DE is, but he mentioned "Windows Environment" [18:34] beat me to it cabrey [18:34] ManDay, interchangeable [18:34] picca: you cannot install ubuntu on the itouch [18:34] lol [18:34] cabrey_, thanks.. i looked there but didnt find it ;) looks like i lost my intelligent eyes ;) [18:34] cabrey_: that entry isnt EXATLY correct but its close [18:34] moreia, thank you for trying anyway. [18:34] fccf, i think he meant syncing [18:34] pw-toxic: do you mean SCIM? [18:34] fccf, okay thanks [18:34] Well, as I understand that concept a WM can run on its own (such as fluxbox and metacity) but only brings enhanced capabilities if used through a DE such as GNOME or KDE. Is that wrong? [18:35] ManDay its correct is a very high level kind of way [18:35] mdm, ...? === uncle|sam is now known as Uncle|Sam [18:36] ManDay, I would stay with the well known environments (LXDE, xFCE, KDE, GNOME), there are literally hundreds of window manager [18:36] ManDay: --- Enlightenment has some really cool effects built in --- you might try E17 [18:36] jmulloy: sure. sorry I didn't come up with any silver bullets. In my experience, OSX server is a big headache, but I haven't touched it in years. [18:36] ManDay: Take gnome for example, if you run metacity it is giving window dressing, close minimize buttons and the ability to move windows across the X space. Gnome gives you menu bars, key intergeneration, etc [18:36] Hi all. I want to install elisa, which depends on python-pgm, which depends on python (<< 2.6) and python (>= 2.5). I have both python2.5 and python2.6 installed, and apt-get refuses to install python-pgm. How do I bludgeon it into submission? [18:37] hi.. [18:37] Well, I'm just fine with Compiz then. The mistake I made is that I mistook Compiz for something else than a WM so I thought I could use fluxbox "in conjunction" with it [18:37] My bad [18:37] My volume is at 100% and the speakers are also at maximum and yet the sound is so quiet. How can I additionally make it louder? [18:37] cabrey_: because things like fluxbox and wmaker are not desktops they are simply window managers. [18:37] I ll stick with GNOME and COMPIZ [18:37] using ubuntu 9.04 64 bit.. firefox wont play audio of flash.. [18:37] jonaskoelker: go bludgeon the people in #luendo [18:37] mdm, actually fluxbox has a panel [18:37] jonaskoelker: thats #fluendo [18:38] mdm, and window maker has a desktop [18:38] fresh installation.. using plugin from adobe website.. and copied it into /usr/mozilla directory.. [18:38] fccf: well, I'm gonna', but in the meantime I have a problem with an ubuntu tool, so I think #ubuntu is the right place to ask... [18:38] The volume at 100% is too quiet, how can I increase it further? [18:38] but no sound.. flash plays well. [18:38] jonaskoelker: sounds like you're tryin to use packages for the wrong version of ubuntu [18:38] mohan: try using a different browser [18:38] ok coral.. [18:38] hat is the recommended partition size for OS? lets say Ubuntu, xp, vista, Win 08 server etc..? [18:38] whatvn, what is SCIM? [18:39] Vermux, how big is your HDD [18:39] guys, I got to access some folder on my xp machine, smb://noone-hf1bfhipe/dvd-marko/ how can I mount it somewhere so I can burn fro mthat location? is it possible? [18:39] jonaskoelker: there's a python-pgm in the repos for python 2.6 on jaunty [18:39] fluxbox is a window manager, fluxmenu is its panel, and fbpager its desktop [18:39] and yes you can run fluxbox without any of the rest [18:39] !scim | pw-toxic [18:39] pw-toxic: Chinese, Japanese, Korean Language input. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SCIM [18:39] mdm, I stand corrected, I thought fluxbox came with those :) [18:39] cabrey_: 150-160 gig I think [18:39] crdlb: which depends on python (<< 2.6), right? [18:40] Vermux, and how much would you be using Ubuntu? it sounds like you want to quad boot... [18:40] cabrey_: your not really wrong, its more of how distros like ubuntu package them. [18:40] jonaskoelker: i realize elisa binds to python... however people at fluendo probably knows more than I do about the particulars [18:40] you can, in fact run X without a window manger, and no desktop and still run apps [18:40] cabrey_: mmm, no a single boot [18:40] jonaskoelker: not on jaunty [18:40] cabrey_: jsut wanterd to know a safe size for OS partition that works for all [18:40] im attempting to execute a script through PHP that resides in a users home folder, how would i configure user/group access to allow the WWW user to do so? [18:41] Vermux, each OS needs its own partition [18:41] Hi , my youtube videos were working fine.... but suddenly stopped working .. audio is still working fine [18:41] cabrey_: yes [18:41] any fix ? [18:41] Vermux, Ubuntu can run easily on ~10GB [18:41] cabrey_: what is the general safe size for all of them [18:41] Vermux, oh hold on [18:41] coral: no use// [18:41] Vermux, give Vista at least ~20GB [18:41] cabrey_: and xp? [18:41] yadunand: I am seeing this question come up alot --- and no answer yet [18:41] jonaskoelker: are you using jaunty? [18:41] using arora browser.. can't hear sound from youtube.. [18:41] whatvn, cool, but for now i dont need it. I have programmed an eclipse plug-in which can export different models.. but some charakters dont work, so i wanted to test some.. [18:42] actaully most of my Ubuntu boxes run off less then 3G for the OS [18:42] Vermux, XP is much smaller, so also probably at least ~10GB [18:42] crdlb: agreed. I blame my inexperience with vim... in /etc/apt/sources.list, both jaunty and karmic was commented out, not just karmic :( [18:42] crdlb: yes, I'm on jaunty :) === czajkowski is now known as czajkowski_ [18:42] whatvn, all charakters from the Chraacter Map are UTF-8 right? [18:42] mohan_, ubuntu or kubuntu? [18:42] cabrey_ : ubuntu 9.04 [18:42] pw-toxic: so scim is not what you need, I think [18:42] I've to bother you with a stupid question, sorry: Where does Gnome put themes which I installed by pressing "install" and chosing a targzed archive? [18:42] cabrey_: I c. and lets say Win server 08 [18:42] ? [18:42] whatvn, well my export also should support chinese signs! [18:42] fccf, i saw a page with a fix ..... but it included stuff with pulseaudio .... but its all installed ... and it was from an ubuntu 7.~ version so i left it [18:42] i have 32gb of ram now === czajkowski_ is now known as czajkowski [18:43] Vermux, depends on what you are using it for/have on it [18:43] Veritatis, but at least ~20GB [18:43] cabrey_: AD [18:43] yadunand: this is a new problem [18:43] jonaskoelker: well, there's an elisa package in universe that should install correctly [18:43] mohan_, does flash work fine in firefox? [18:43] fccf, so what do i do ??? any fixes or getarounds ??? [18:43] cabrey_ : yes.. but no audio :( [18:43] pw-toxic: if you program an application, it's depend on your application [18:43] crdlb: yeah, everything is restored to sanity once I comment-back-in the jaunty lines in /etc/apt/sources.list [18:43] anyone, please? [18:43] fccf, do you think reinstalling adobe all over will fix it ?? [18:43] Vermux: full ubuntu, with all of kde and all of gnome plus about 6 other window mangers, gcc/g++, headers, most of the dev packages is 4.9G [18:43] fccf, crdlb: thanks for your help, time and patience :) [18:43] sup [18:44] mohan_, does audio work from any app? [18:44] in the hood [18:44] cabrey_ : yes.. [18:44] pw-toxic: I mean you should use unicode as character encoding [18:44] whatvn, yes i know - but i needed to enter some special characters to test it ;) [18:44] pw-toxic: Character map [18:44] The ejabberd software in 8.04 is way old.

[18:45] linuxninja: lol [18:45] mohan_, does flash work on any other site than youtube? [18:45] cabrey_ : ardour, totem media player, all plays audio..

[19:34] Ewok94: probably not [19:34] Ewok94: no [19:34] Ewok94: depends on the hardware, maybe, probbly not [19:34] Ewok94: as long as your not getting some really werid obsecure not so popular hardware, everything should pretty much just work [19:34] Ewok94: it should be no problem when you have internet connection wile installing [19:34] how is twonky as a media streamer? [19:34] ok brilliant - the hardware is the usual stuff [19:34] Ewok94: I've used the live cd on many different machines and ALL the hardware just worked (including printers and what-have-you) [19:35] Ewok94: only thing is [19:35] !intel | Ewok94 [19:35] deever, does aplay-l show your card when typed in terminal [19:35] Ewok94: 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. [19:35] Ewok94: and with Nivida you would need a closed source propritary driver for full graphics card support [19:35] Ewok94: pay attention to its wireless, sound card and any tuners advertised as (for MCE). Other then that linux can recognise and use most hardware even older stuff windows can not [19:35] bookmarked. [19:35] Ewok94: and wireless can be a problem, and sound [19:35] !wireless | Ewok94 [19:35] Ewok94: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [19:36] !hardware | Ewok94 [19:36] Ewok94: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [19:36] okay, i am getting a nvidia graphics card [19:36] thanks, will bookmark them too incase i have trouble [19:36] chuck_: no [19:36] Ewok94: good choice xD [19:36] Ewok94: yep they tend to work well with the propritary driver normalley, but some people would rather use open drivers only [19:37] i see [19:37] Ewok94: nvidia GF5200fx worked fine, now my GF9800GT works great too (with the closed source drivers mind you) [19:37] no way? [19:37] What is the command(s) in Irssi to change my nick, and then save the change to use the nick as default? [19:37] seanguerrin, /join #ubuntu-offtopic [19:38] Ewok94: before you buy the system look up what others experiance wit it is. Also you can get away with much much older hardware and it will still run fine. For example I have a nvida 5900 and a 7900 for playing back full h262 and h264 1080P video [19:38] seanguerrin: i think you need to edit .irssi/config [19:38] i see. i have already ordered the pc though [19:38] thanks nsahoo [19:39] fingers crossed i guess, i don't mind spending time researching and making things work if i have to [19:39] ftw means?

I want to enable flashy, beautiful desktop effects, but in the appearance settings, when I enable desktop effects, the screen sort of flashes and I get a dialogue box with the error message "desktop Effects could not be enabled" ... could someone please help me to troubleshoot this so that I can get desktop effec [19:52] ts?

(im using jaunty and i want to install an intrepid pkg) [19:53] type 'su' enter your password, then type 'synaptic' [19:53] nsahoo: :) [19:53] Cripps, probably your card is blacklisted for compiz effects, google about that [19:53] zzzakattack : whats the command ? [19:53] 'su' enter your password [19:53] dan dan tried to run in safe mode and use the repair broken package option [19:53] then 'synaptic' [19:54] gonzagonzaa, you don't. You can download an old deb and install it, but installing old packages is not recommended. [19:54] Cripps: Have you checked out the compiz check script?? [19:54] Cripps: run "compiz --replace" in a terminal and tell me the output (through pastebin) [19:54] zzzakattack : ah yea i tried that STILL same :( [19:54] chocobanana: no difference [19:54] asanchez, ed_debian, masquerade, thanks ... [19:54] Is it a known error that Empathy in Uuntu 9.04 does not produce event sounds? [19:54] nsahoo: did you go into Synaptic (menu System > Administration > Package Manager [19:54] Cripps: so its ok if i download the deb in ppa and dpkg -i veejay ? [19:54] nsahoo: remove al the flash alternatives installed [19:54] chocobanana: yes [19:54] Cripps: np [19:54] dabba halka, tika ubuntu.

[19:57] chocobanana: ubuntu support on ppc machines was suspended last year --- you are talking about the G3,4,5,line or the newer intel core2duo chipset [19:57] deever, put sudo in front of each one [19:57] mohan_: more like some script kiddie [19:57] mohan_, the server's not jacked, but its common for botnets to be controlled by having the systems join a channel. in that channel, the controller issues a command, then the bots go off and do something to their host systems based on it [19:57] fccf: hmm? [19:57] i need help i need a new version of gcc-avr because the one in intrepid is broken , how can i install a newer version without having to compile it from source [19:57] something for advanced ping? [19:57] nsahoo: if the flashplugin-nonfree in the only one installed then it should play with that one :) [19:58] oh.. ok.. [19:58] yes maco I should have been more implicit [19:58] tyranos: If you can find a .deb package you won't need to compile it. [19:58] masquerade, sorry, trying to kill compiz rendered my session unusable, had to restart gdm ... and no, I don't have an nvidia card, it's intel. [19:58] ed_debian, i know but where can i find the jaunty package for example [19:59] does intel produce graphics cards...? amazing [19:59] something for advanced ping? [19:59] thanks Mat [19:59] MaT: thanks [19:59] masquerade, yeah, they're not too bad ... I like intel products :) [19:59] masquerade: yes, part of many different boards [19:59] Cripps: anyways, its too crowded here. join ##hasenbasen please [19:59] masquerade, graphics chips yes, but not discrete cards [19:59] will do. [19:59] tyranos: You won't find any packages that are for juanty. Packages aren't organized that way. A package is designed for a distrobutions package manager. (Red uses .RPM, debian and ubuntu use .deb, slack uses .tar.gz) [20:00] tyranos: Although any distro can use .tar.gz it is just source code so you have to compile [20:00] something for advanced ping? [20:00] masquerade: sort of intel makes chips, nvidia (well amd now) makes chips. some also sell the chips to manufacturers who make cards, and some make cards themselves. Also they get motherboard makers to include these chips as well. [20:00] tavi man ping [20:00] tyranos: If you find a package "for ubuntu" or "for debian" or "for ubuntu 9.04" you can install it using dpkg -i nameoffile.deb (no compliling [20:01] chuck_: still the same [20:01] Does anyone know of a Free Resume Creator for Linux?

[20:01] DanDan: try going to their official site and getting their .deb file, then after you try to install it you will get an error sign. Post the error sign on here. [20:01] gwg [20:01] g2g* [20:01] tyranos: Hope that was helpful! [20:01] fccf? [20:01] ed_debian: is channels for java? [20:01] in terminal? [20:02] taavi yes [20:02] thx ed_debian, i found on some forum that someone changed the sources.list temporarly to jaunty installed only gcc-avr and then reverted back to the old source.lit [20:02] st [20:02] since yesterday I can't join IRC-networks anymore with pidgin (crashes when connecting).. ubuntu did some updates just before then... [20:03] masquerade: also when you are trying to detemine what driver to use it is easier to look it up by chip rather then my board type or how it is sold. Technically linux drivers are for chip types. And it is why things like sound cards are so problematic (the makers change chips between versions, even on the same model). [20:03] deever, type sudo modinfo snd-emu10k1 [20:03] Hi. Anyone with vbox 2.2.4 (bridge) + firewall? [20:04] does jaunty use compiz by default?

[20:32] teadict: it's just a warning - not an error in apacge [20:33] ikonia: Let's see my hosts then.. [20:33] hi could someone help me configure my museek/musseq on jaunty?? [20:33] Finswimmer: it is supposed that if you are good enough to build your own kernel you won't need #ubuntu support any more :-), but in earnest: if you mess with your kernel, you loose the support here (like messing with the engine of your car and then coming to the dealer for guaranee) [20:33] ikonia: It is mapped to 127.0.0.1, what else? [20:33] ikonia: It's an integrated Intel card. [20:33] mib_s4ftjx: the video card doesn't matter [20:33] I just bought a Dell computer with onboard intel audio HD. On my old computer (SB Audigy) I had a switch in the Volume control for tone (e.g., bass/treble) which is missing on my new computer. What gives? [20:33] why am i getting no identd response [20:33] mib_s4ftjx, to see which, run this in console: lspci | grep -i vga [20:33] teadict: ubuntu doesn't map it to 127.0.0.1 [20:34] teadict: and doesn't apache normally use your hostname not localhost [20:34] teadict: what's the exact error [20:34] How can I configure the additional buttons on my mouse ? Cause I see like 10 different solutions, whats the best for newest ubuntu ? [20:34] ikonia: My bad. I though it was you who asked me that... [20:34] ikonia: Well... it is mapped: http://pastie.org/500784 [20:34] Jupp: integrated onboard audio is not SB Audigy. That gives. [20:34] teadict: what is the exact error [20:34] ikonia: It is a 404, just that [20:34] Jupp: different hardware shows different controls to the software [20:34] hello [20:34] =) [20:34] hi i need some help with museek/musseq [20:35] Anyone know whether the uboot splash generation steps in the docs still works for jaunty? [20:35] ikonia: I've checked all config files, looked for conflicts (maybe it was SSH, but I don't think so), and nothing [20:35] teadict: what address are you trying to brouse to ? [20:35] deever, the only thing i can think of is to upgrade alsa to the newest ver. and see if it finds your crad. here is a link to do that if you need it http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=400268 [20:35] Myrtti, show I can't change bass/treble on intel audio?

How can I fix this? [20:35] teadict: when you stop/start apache do you get any output/warnings ? [20:36] Jupp: might be able to do it on software level on different playback apps [20:36] d0htem: okay.. I got mixer to open up... rm -Rf ~/.asound* did the trick.. [20:36] hkittysmoothie: not much that can be done, since Adobe Flash is closed source, have you tried another browser with it, Epiphany or Galeon or Seamonkey for example [20:36] ikonia: So, do I add vga=ask to the end of the line that says 'kernel /boot/blahblahmykernel number quiet splash'? [20:36] Essobi: cool man [20:36] Jupp: vlc, exaile, audacious, but they're independent of each other [20:36] d0htem: Everything is turned up already thou..

[20:36] i wish someone could help me! [20:37] :-o [20:37] Myrtti, ahh... time to pop open my old computer and do a little switcharoo. I wanted to change bass/treble for Pandora so I guess no luck there. [20:37] everytime im in here i ask for help and end up helping with no help provided to me [20:37] hkittysmoothie: well the ones I just mentioned all use Gecko to display webpages as well, just like Mozilla/Netscape [20:37] i don't understand :-/ [20:37] d0htem: moaning about it won't help, ask your question [20:37] !repeat | zhaena [20:37] chuck_: ok, thanks, 'll try that! :) [20:37] zhaena: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you.

[20:37] ikonia: Oh :P It is using 127.0.1.1 (which is mapped to x2), right?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [20:38] i do not wish to bother anyone. [20:38] Thankyou guntbert, I was unsure this was an appropriate channel [20:38] ikonia: Removing the 127.0.1.1 x2 line from hosts does not solve anything [20:38] hkittysmoothie: ok [20:39] Why are some packages kept back in an upgrade? [20:39] teadict, i've added 127.0.1.1 myhostname to /etc/hosts to rid this message [20:39] Phoe-chan: we can only tell after we read your real question :-) [20:39] hello,can anyone pnetls help me in connecting linux to wireless inter [20:39] Is there a way to find out an explanation?

Anyone have an idea why my Intel HDA sound card won't work? Looks like everything is where it should be.. [20:40] magcius: you may have other dependencies that aren't updated to a high enough version for the packages to install [20:40] ikonia: It accepts me [20:40] alongenemylines, is there a way to figure those out? [20:40] teadict: ok - so it's listening, so the problem is the browser [20:40] ikonia: But because that is me (x2) [20:41] sebsebseb: I couldn't even get youtube to load on Epiphany, so I can't tell if it works with other gecko-based browsers [20:41] ikonia: The browser?! [20:41] teadict: yes, apache is listening on "you" [20:41] sebsebseb: that would be one possibility. with gentoo you just download tar.gz-files and untar them on your system. than compile a kernel, thats all. you dont need an iso image. [20:41] hkittysmoothie: oh, does it detect the Flash plugin Epiphany, it uses same one as Firefox [20:41] deever, when you get to this part in the how to sudo ./configure --with-kernel=/usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r) --with-cards=ice1724 --with-oss=yes. replace ice1724 with cards=all === Dalila___ is now known as Dalila [20:41] is there a way to tell which application is sending packets from a linux box? i have one linux box that is sending UDP packets (i can sniff them just fine) but I can't tell which process is doing it. [20:41] sebsebseb: No, I mean the page doesn't show up -- It's continually stuck on "loading" [20:42] So... What do I do? [20:42] lukas___: well I read before about how an ISO can be made into CDFS or something and then booted from Grub and install, but sounded complacted [20:42] Www.SohbetLost.Com Www.SohbetLost.Com Www.SohbetLost.Com Www.SohbetLost.Com Www.SohbetLost.Com Www.SohbetLost.Com [20:42] Www.SohbetLost.Com Www.SohbetLost.Com Www.SohbetLost.Com Www.SohbetLost.Com Www.SohbetLost.Com Www.SohbetLost.Com [20:42] Www.SohbetLost.Com Www.SohbetLost.Com Www.SohbetLost.Com Www.SohbetLost.Com Www.SohbetLost.Com Www.SohbetLost.Com [20:42] Www.SohbetLost.Com Www.SohbetLost.Com Www.SohbetLost.Com Www.SohbetLost.Com Www.SohbetLost.Com Www.SohbetLost.Com [20:42] Www.SohbetLost.Com Www.SohbetLost.Com Www.SohbetLost.Com Www.SohbetLost.Com Www.SohbetLost.Com Www.SohbetLost.Com [20:42] Cute. [20:42] magcius, if you run sudo apt-get update, then sudo apt-get upgrade in a terminal, it will tell you what packages are being held back, from there, you can use synaptic or another package management program to figure out what dependencies are failing [20:42] !feedthetroll [20:42] The above mess was caused by someone who thought it was funny (they're gone now). Please ignore it completely, since discussing it and making a fuss will only make them think they've reached their "fun" goal. [20:42] sebsebseb: ah ok. that doesnt sound like a good solution. i hope to find something similar to the gentoo installation.

It must be down, I'll have to try it again later [20:43] alongenemylines, a.k.a. how does Synaptic get its infromation? [20:43] giiker: perhaps /ignore #ubuntu joins parts quits [20:44] sebsebseb: working with a cd doesnt work because the computer claims, the ubuntu 9.04 an 8.10 cds would have errors on them (in fact there are no errors) but knoppix works fine. [20:44] j [20:44] magcius: once you see what packages are being held back, you can try sudo apt-get install (whatever package is being held back). it will then tell you which dependencies are failing [20:44] lukas___: well you could install from USB or something [20:44] ikonia: What do you suggest? Because I'm blank [20:44] lukas___: maybe even try the alternate Ubuntu CD, and have more luck with that [20:45] alongenemylines, oh, huh... it may have been that installing from a different source (a PPA) is considered an new install, not an upgrade. [20:45] lukas___: how do you know that your CDs are ok? [20:45] teadict: 1.) your apache web server is listening on the ip address 127.0.1.1 - this is confirmed by you telneting to it on port 80. From your local machine (x2) open a browser and visit 127.0.1.1 in your browser url [20:45] guntbert: they are working on another computer [20:45] alongenemylines, that's a confusing error. [20:45] magcius: that normally is the cause of packages being held back [20:45] !md5sum | lukas___ [20:45] lukas___: To verify the integrity of a download, use the md5sum - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM for more [20:45] sebsebseb: i'll try the alternate one first.

[20:46] ikonia: Yes it is [20:46] alongenemylines, shouldn't apt-get upgrade upgrade to the latest source? If I added a PPA, why wouldn't it upgrade to the newest version? I can see why not by default, but needing to say sudo apt-get install package instead of upgrade package [20:46] my screen has gone really strange, lots of horizontal lines - seems to be displaying the right image, but all Picassod [20:46] lukas___: thats a sure sign :-), so maybe USB, *or* you try to burn your CD with lower speed.... [20:46] Can anyone tell me why my Update Manager is giving me this error? "Failed to fetch http://www.geexbox.org/debian/dists/unstable/main/binary-i386/Packages 404 Not Found" [20:46] teadict: ok - so the problem is your browser, are you using a proxy server or anything like that ? [20:46] That's just confusing. [20:46] swaj sebsebseb guntbert: many thanks for now. I'll come back if the given ideas dont work. [20:47] lukas___: ok good luck [20:47] ikonia: Nothing [20:47] teadict: can you telnet 127.0.0.1 80 ? [20:47] ikonia: OpenSSH is set up to comunicate with the other 2 virtual machines (also in this x2) [20:47] ikonia: Yes I can [20:47] maybe this question will get answered, why when i type ls /dev/disk/by-uuid -lah the uuids of the automounted linux partitions have long hex values with 4 dashes in them while the others are only half the size with no dashes [20:47] teadict: hang on - is this in a vm or on the host ? [20:47] Hello guys and gals [20:47] ikonia: Besides ssh, there is nothing [20:47] ikonia: No, I am the host now [20:48] teadict: is the website on the host or a vm ? [20:48] I have not been on IRC in years so bare with me [20:48] ikonia: Everything is on the host; I just mentioned the openssh and VMs because maybe they would add some data to your judgement, that is all [20:48] !welcome | silameth [20:48] silameth: Welcome to #ubuntu - the Ubuntu support channel.

BTW, FWIW, i recommend putting your option arguments (leading with hyphen or dash) before other arguments (e.g. ls -lah path) [20:50] ikonia: Take your time, I have all day ;( This situation made me mad already [20:50] magcius: do you have only the default ubuntu repositories enabled, or multiverse, universe, backports, proposed, etc etc all enabled? [20:50] teadict: when you telnet to 127.0.1.1 80 and you do a "GET" do you get a load of html spewed back at you ?

[20:51] ok thanks bernz [20:51] rob235, (and as a corollary to my first assertion, manually configured volumes might simply use less data to specify their "uniqueness") [20:51] ikonia: Yes, the same result as browsing to localhost or 127.0.1.1: Not found. After that, the telnet connection is closed. [20:51] The_Beard, because the site might be down or no longer there try to open it in a browser [20:51] guntbert, it's update manager in ubuntu. Therefore, seems like it would be included. [20:51] gotcha [20:51] teadict: ahhhhh hang on [20:51] rob235, i came across some vague explanation once, but can't remember where; maybe browse back issues of linux journal and stuff, or read up on the 'udev' system :-) [20:51] ikonia: Okey dokey [20:51] teadict: I think we have a winner [20:51] ikonia: Awesome [20:51] ikonia: Shoo [20:51] t [20:51] is there a way to tell which application is sending packets from a linux box? i have one linux box that is sending UDP packets (i can sniff them just fine) but I can't tell which process is doing it.

[20:54] I have something strange: I have an offline computer and found a way to update the packagelists over usb stick... anyway here is the problem: apt install can give me the url for say gparted but synaptic doesnt show it. It should thus have nothing to do with my way of transferring the packagelists, this worked also for synaptic in 8.10, the repository mechanism seems changed though, I find it strange that multiverse is already selected [20:54] Here's the relevant line from interfaces: auto eth0, followed by iface eth0 inet dhcp. [20:54] also lsof will list UDP [20:54] (it's more than i expected, when ya think about it) [20:54] How do i make thuderbird my defualt email client rather than evolution [20:54] how do I select multiverse for third party software? [20:55] Shouldn't this bring up eth0?

[21:00] guntbert, just trying to fill in the blank in your question to xtalmath [21:00] andrer: has someone suggested "nethogs" to you already? [21:00] ikonia: And how do I check *that*? [21:01] ikonia: If I ask stupid question,please bare with me, I'm burnt with this :( [21:01] teadict: look at the permissions, could the user www-data have read permissions to those files and directories [21:01] Anyone here using me-tv on ubuntu. It comes up and wants to scan for channels (although I had a perfectly working channel setup before). And it allows me to select a location for scanning. Unfortunatly the list of locations is ... empty. Any hints? [21:01] Myrtti: no... i'll try it [21:02] andrer: Run 'lsof -i'. [21:02] alongenemylines: I know that. But I read something about a tracker ban on transmission. And I can't seed a bunch of 8.04 iso files i still have with transmission. It gives an error : "Requested download is not authorized for use with this tracker" [21:02] ikonia: Yes, everything from /var/www to its content is 755 [21:02] teadict: I've got to drive home now sorry, someone else maybe able to pick this up with you - remember to tell them it's running on 127.0.1.1 - not localhost [21:02] bernz: ah, thank you, but then I must have misunderstood something from xtalmath , because for gparted you definitely don't need no "foreign" repo :-)) [21:02] so I just pluged in my usb head phone mic in and got it working with skype and now all my sound want to go through them. what do I do? [21:02] I have an audio problem I can seem to get any traction on. Audio works after boot. However sometime after that it just stops working. Killing and restarting pulseaudio doesn't bring it back nor does logging out and back in. Only restarting seems to work, and when I do restart the audio is muted [21:02] ikonia: Ty for your time :) [21:02] Question: how do I keep ubuntu UNR from starting that silly menu? I just want a classic desktop... and I have found the desktop switcher but it doesn't keep my settings after logout/reboot. [21:02] Trijntje, then go and find the torrent on another tracker [21:03] guntbert, yeah, it sounds like he has something that didn't update (e.g. manually edited sources.list, but missing 'apt-get update' type of thing; with the appropriate software substituted in) [21:03] Myrtti, cool, nethogs is very nice -- thanks for tip :-) [21:04] bernz: thx for the 'update' [21:04] bernz: do you mean like this: ntpd 28369 ntp 16u IPv4 113858 UDP *:ntp [21:04] bullgard4: thank you man [21:04] Myrtti: thank you!1 === mib_n5bsdk is now known as RenagadeX [21:05] alongenemylines, how do I generate this modeline? [21:05] chuck_: nothing... [21:05] chuck_: mb the card is broken in some strange way? [21:05] xtalmath: I wanted to help you find the package for which you needed that "foreign" repo, thats why I suggested using sysnaptic [21:06] rmaxham: in a terminal, gtf x-res y-res refresh-rate [21:06] * Sweetshark thinks he solved his problem. Its probably bug 352654 [21:06] mdm, on the rightmost column (the process associated with the connection), it says "pipe" in a lot of cases, rather than a process-looking name; is it a process actually called 'pipe', or is it implying an unnamed pipe is what connects (and it can't be resolved to a process name)? [21:06] rmaxham: like gtf 1280 1024 60 [21:06] alongenemylines, right, just like the man page sez. duh. [21:06] rmaxham: paste the modeline in the monitor section of the xorg.conf [21:06] bang bang bang [21:07] i'm having trouble getting my laptop to recognize an LCD monitor hooked in through a parallel port [21:07] Why the hell is my computer on Compiz's blacklist? Running 'compiz' from terminal yields "Blacklisted PCIID '8086:2a02' found" [21:07] bernz: those are unamed pipes [21:07] can anyone tell me how to make my computer recognize the external monitor?

[21:07] mdm, okay, cool, yes like your example :-) [21:07] rmaxham: you may want to add a subsection under screen as well, and set the defualt depth under screen [21:08] Some_Person: I think your card was blacklisted due to freezing issues.

[21:16] i'm having a lot of frustration with a problem with dbus that i've just been living with for about 6 months. every time i shut down X and reload the window manager, dbus has problems with vim. at first it was *any* dbus application but now i only notice it in vim. can anyone tell me what this error message means, and how i can fix it? .. [21:16] Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS locks due to a system crash. See http://www.gnome.org/projects/gconf/ for information. (Details - 1: Failed to get connection to session: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-OrTVkfd9dq: Connection refused) [21:16] okay, I think you want the xserver-xorg-video-intel package from proposed and possible upgrade dependencies [21:17] there are no nfs locks. [21:17] is anyone familiar with scrolling up through bash history (up arrow) and having it break the prompt (PS1)? [21:17] Well, there are compiz upgrades in there too. I should probably get those, right? [21:17] MFen: are you using vim in screen by chance? [21:18] MFen, i don't have a specific idea, but might it be useful to trace the traffic to see "what" is connecting "where"? [21:18] (i.e. i'm surprised vim would need network access -- for what?) [21:18] mdm: Uh, I was talking about intel... guntbert: But in this case the patch in proposed _does_ solve the issue... [21:18] Hy all [21:19] Is that possible to hinernate only one program? [21:19] So to store the execution state, then start again? [21:19] arand: ok, it was only a warning from bad experience [21:19] Maybe to store again from a saved stage more than one times? [21:19] restore* again === kusachiho is now known as Elda [21:19] arand: It works. I installed the intel graphics update and the compiz updates, and all seems fine [21:19] arand basicly the xserver-xorg-video-ati, xserver-xorg-video-nv, and xserver-xorg-video-intel drivers are all attempts and creating open source drivers for those respective cards. In some cases the chip makers have released information, some have released useless information and some have flat out refused to release information about the chips. It is why the binary drivers "taint" the kernel [21:20] MetaMorfoziS: I don't think so, what are you really trying to accomplish? [21:20] how do i check what linked in a staticly linked .a file? [21:20] like ldd on a .so file [21:20] We have an idiot education system which always frozes and dies when more than 3 people uses it [21:20] deutsch1988__, if your problem/solution isn't listed in that thread i linked, you should add your query, and set up to receive email notices of new replies to the thread so you can keep track of it [21:21] and tomorrrow will be the subject subscribing [21:21] so i want to store a firefox session with opened tabs only waiting for submit [21:21] where is my default session stored? I'd like to edit the file so that compiz turns on by default (using the SKIP_CHECKS=yes variable) [21:22] jrib: i'm using gvim actually. gvim with one of the remote options causes this. [21:22] hi all. a little help here pls? I want to play quake(1) on ubuntu. Is it possible. do you know any links about this? [21:22] bernz: trace with what? wireshark? [21:22] actually i'm thinking on to do that with virtualbox, but that may be overkill [21:22] hello everyone [21:22] AakashPatel: did you want to see what is in the archive? they are generally archives of multiple libs. Try "ar t " [21:22] but that can save snapshots/states [21:22] MFen, yep, if have X working, Wireshark is very easy and fast to use [21:22] MetaMorfoziS: what option? [21:23] MFen: what option? [21:23] !ru >deutsch1988__ [21:23] deutsch1988__, please see my private message [21:23] jrib: well actually i'm *launching* gvim --*remote* from a terminal session in which screen is running. could that be a problem? [21:23] jrib > ? [21:23] MFen, perhaps if you can at least see something attempting to connect, you'll know more about where the problem lives [21:23] MetaMorfoziS: you cannot freeze firefox, but you *could* open such a session in a new window (maybe on a different desktop) and leave it there until you need it [21:23] MFen: yeah, verify it's ok from a new terminal [21:23] yes but that isn't ok for me [21:23] MetaMorfoziS: ignore me, sorry [21:23] jrib --remote-tab-silent-wait [21:23] because it uses cookies, and it drops them fast, so i login in one tab fast, then submit the other tab:D [21:24] MFen, one more thing: if the problem is exhibited by running/using vim, try running it as root -- see if it still happens ... for me, a lot of times, running as root is a temporary fix, and also gives clues that permission problems may be involved (or similar stuff) [21:24] "cool" asp based very expensive and useless system. [21:24] bernz: "sudo gvim" doesn't give me the error === dmd is now known as dorimar [21:24] mdm: im trying to compile samba for arm in scratchbox staticly, it compiles, but when i try to compile my app with libsmbclient.a i get http://pastebin.com/m31360bc1 [21:24] okay, so i need hibernation like an os does that [21:24] you have an idea on why? [21:24] MetaMorfoziS, does your system do hibernation? just set up your demo, then hibernate [21:24] MetaMorfoziS: then I'm out of ideas (except like you said a VM) [21:24] MFen: anyway, I have the same issue. I have to "unset SESSION_MANAGER" [21:25] not even "sudo gvim --remote-tab-silent-wait" :) [21:25] bernz > but that only restorable one times [21:25] so as i see what i have is vbox [21:25] MFen, interesting... now, one must ponder that for a while.. and what it could mean :-) [21:25] MetaMorfoziS, on windows, there is a way to trick it into keeping the hibernate file, so you can just "power-off" (instead of shut down), and the next boot it will re-un-hibernate :-) [21:26] but this isn't a big deal anyways, just to store the memory state of a program... [21:26] okay file connections maybe problematic... [21:26] MetaMorfoziS, you can probably do a similar trick on linux; it's a matter of finding out how :-] [21:26] AakashPatel: reconfgiure it with --without-winbind, so a make clean and then a make [21:26] okay, btw thank you, i will do it with vbox === nooga_ is now known as nooga [21:26] jrib: it appears you are correct. when i actually log out of the screen-managed shell and start a new one, the problem goes away. i guess because the screen environment hangs around across X restarts, so does one end of the dbus connection [21:26] bernz: i think jrib as nailed it [21:26] hi all, does updating formats the partition?? [21:26] AakashPatel: also is there some reason you don't simply install samba from apt? [21:26] haytham-med: no, it only updates the apps [21:26] mdm: im trying to cross compile it to ARM [21:26] bernz > lol:) I didn't know that:) [21:26] MFen, cool, kudos to jrib... he definitely has a deep understanding of the unix system :-) [21:27] * jrib takes a cookie [21:27] . [21:27] bernz: I was bitten the same issue, that's why I knew about it :) [21:27] i dont know but it seems to format the vbox partition [21:27] . [21:27] MetaMorfoziS, yeah, maybe someone has blogged about it, and you can find the "recipe"; about half of my blog entries are related to configuring Ubuntu "better" :-) [21:27] hi i could i change desktop font colour on 9.04 ? [21:27] jrib: so clearing SESSION_MANAGER has no bad side-effects? does something later reset it [21:27] hey guys, is it ok that three flood bot has operator modes? [21:27] luckily i have a snapshot [21:27] lemme see if i can reproduce it while you answer that.. brb [21:27] super duper easy question.. i can't seem to dual-boot with GRUB... i just did a tutorial and got almost everything working except the actual grub menu.. i'm using XP and kubuntu.. "root (hd0,1)" won't work for some reason, and my kubuntu is (root hd0,4) [21:27] i will try again [21:27] jrib, nice, experience is pretty much the best way to learn :-) [21:28] haytham-med: vbox partition? [21:28] AakashPatel: is this on ubuto or on debian? [21:28] virtualbox [21:28] mdm: ubuntu [21:28] haytham-med: vbox creates a vdi file, not partition [21:28] with scratchbox [21:28] MFen: gnome can save your session when you logout and then start up apps again. My guess is it can do this with gvim. I don't care for it with vim so... [21:28] i know [21:28] can soemone please help me with my grub? :( [21:28] mdm: should i try to compile it dynamicly linked and see if its getting linked with libwbclient? [21:29] Hello, what I have to do to make ~/public_html to visible for whole world [21:29] AakashPatel: debian directly supports arm, you may want to consider it instead [21:29] Hey people [21:29] can someone help me [21:29] !ask m45h [21:29] I had chmod it to 755 [21:29] Sorry, I don't know anything about ask m45h [21:29] AakashPatel: you will need arm libs and arm development as well [21:29] hello, I believe that my ssh connections are being slowed down due to resolving the ip to a hostname. how can I disble this, or hardcode the hostname so it doesn't have to try to lookup and fail every time please? === maximo_ is now known as Maximo [21:29] !public_html > me [21:29] Sorry, I don't know anything about public_html [21:29] !ask > tehboriz [21:29] !apache > me [21:29] tehboriz, please see my private message [21:29] happosade, please see my private message [21:29] hwilde: add the name and ip to /etc/hosts [21:29] hwilde: i had the same issue, that fixes it [21:30] ActionParsnip, why does it do that? i hate it === janne is now known as Skiessi [21:30] guntbert: i forgot to say "scroll up for question that was missed" [21:30] tehboriz: sorry, didnt mean you :) [21:30] " !apache > me"> hah! ircbots are the new "man" :-D [21:30] i get a problem where firefox(or any browser) locks and is uninterruptible, system monitor says rtnetlink_rcv. [21:30] hwilde: if you look in the ssh config file its trying to resolve the name connecting to an ip, hosts just speeds it up [21:30] ActionParsnip, what if I have no dns and I want to disable it all [21:30] MFen: the proper solution is probably to have screen sync some of those env variables somehow when you reattach [21:30] hwilde: you can modify /etc/hosts if you want to "hard code" the IP address of a remote machine [21:30] !ask | m45h [21:30] guntbert: don't suppose you know how to fix my grub? [21:31] i get a problem where firefox(or any browser) locks and is uninterruptible, system monitor says rtnetlink_rcv, i need to restart the computer to run a browser at the moment. which isnt cool. [21:31] jrib: fyi unset SESSION_MANAGER did *not* fix it for me [21:31] jrib: however, cleaning up my screen session seems to do the trick every time [21:31] hwilde: afaik, its necessary. adding an entry in /etc/hosts instantly resolves it [21:31] hi all, could i change desktop font colour? [21:31] m45h: 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. :-) [21:31] <_user_> plz help me my nautilus uses 600 MB of ram and my computer slow down overalll ubuntu memory usage is so much plz help me to solve this ??

[21:31] m45h: why would you want to run that...? [21:31] MFen: probably [21:31] tehboriz, what's wrong with your grub? [21:32] ActionParsnip, it can't be necessary because mine is failing (no dns) and the ssh/scp still works [21:32] jrib: so how would i go about finding out the correct values for those? [21:32] i mean programmatically [21:32] A digikam install on gnome pulls in dolphin, konqueror, kmail, phonon, phonon-backend-gstreamer, and many other libraries.. this is puzzling .. kmail??! really? a photo app depends on an email app? p.l.e.a.s.e. Any explainations to this are welcome. [21:32] m45h, you probably want to look into "alias" [21:32] MFen: don't know :) [21:32] ActionParsnip, also I don't see in the ssh configs anything obviously related [21:32] AakashPatel: it would be easier IMHO to simply install arm debian, it can be managed much in the same way as ubu is (it is the basis for ubu anyway) and you would have package support for it. http://packages.debian.org/stable/net/samba [21:32] ok. well, closing screen isn't so bad. i will remember that next time, thanks a lot for your help jrib :) [21:33] MFen: I'd try #screen [21:33] hello; I've managed to get my new 5.1 speakers up and running with alsa; only mpd is refusing to give me surround sound.

Its easy to roll back === Ewok94 is now known as EwanT [21:33] m45h: I see no need for that command, but in any case you must use sudo [21:34] m45h: don't mess with anything in /bin [21:34] ActionParsnip, oh i already did it - it's fast. === diomedesuser is now known as apphacker1 [21:34] mdm: i needed a staticly compiled build of libsmbclient.a [21:34] hello all [21:34] thats why i was tryingo to see [21:34] tehboriz, ahh... if you can run 'gparted' (or another partitioner you're comfortable with), you can "examine" the drives of interest, and learn by the partition format type (e.g. NTFS) which drive your XP is on (i assume it's all one volume) [21:34] epaphus: do you have screen effects enabled? [21:34] right now im build a dynamicly one and seeing if it links to everything right [21:34] afk -- phone call [21:34] VCoolio: setup alsa for 5.1 and tell mpd to use alsa, or you could tell mpd to dump it direct to a hw device if your card can convert it nativly [21:34] !away > bernz [21:34] bernz, please see my private message === odder_ is now known as odder [21:34] m45h: I'd recommend help.ubuntu.com, the rute book, debian documentation and tldp.org if you want to learn linux [21:34] m45h: skip that step, you're getting that error because you need "sudo" in front of that command if you're not root. Regardless, that command only links bash to sh, which is not necessary on unbuntu. [21:34] bernz: i had gparted working but it says stuff liek sda5 and all that...

[21:35] bernz: /dev/sda6 [21:35] Scunizi: jrib suggested SESSION_MANAGER or DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS need to be reset when i come back into my session, but i don't know how to reset them [21:35] mdm: alsa is using 5.1 but now I need to know how to tell mpd to use alsa; here is a default setting I found but does not work: http://paste.ubuntu.com/188551/ [21:36] so then i need to execture ln -sf /bin/bash /bin/sh [21:36] m45h: bash is the default shell in ubuntu, so that step can be safely ignored. [21:36] Jack_Sparrow: never read it, but I'll trust you on it [21:36] i put in grub : "root (hd0,6) and it didn't work [21:36] :) [21:36] m45h: you shouldn't need to do that. If a script needs bash, then it should ask for bash [21:36] so can it skip that step and go to the next [21:36] Scunizi: any idea about that? [21:36] VCoolio: see the part with device and format? comment them out [21:36] someone can help me please? I cant compile alsa-utils-1.0.20, it's give me an error: [21:36] MFen: wow..

Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [21:38] I will do "make uninstall" and trying again [21:38] m45h: what do you actually want to accomplish? [21:38] does ubuntu 9.04 have ubuntu three or is that like a manual upgrade? [21:38] er python 3* [21:38] Scunizi: i'm not sure i would properly call it an ubuntu bug :) possibly a bug in gvim or screen, although even that's a stretch. [21:38] Sirisian|Work: it's in the repositories, but it's not the default python version [21:38] okay thanks [21:39] i found that tutorial it looked good so i wanted to try it and make a VPS [21:39] mdm: see, we are trying to compile libsmbclient.a to not rely on systems libraries [21:39] and be staticly linked [21:39] mdm: thx but doesn't work yet; do I need to restart something (except my client of course) === janne is now known as Skiessi [21:39] Sirisian|Work: let me pastebin a apt-cache search for you [21:39] becase we are going to run it on a differnt linux OS [21:39] "doesn't work" could also be a sign that the problem is independently wealthy. perhaps you should ask it for a loan [21:39] the tutorial can be found here http://www.howtoforge.com/installing-and-using-openvz-on-ubuntu8.04 [21:39] m45h: why don't you try virtualbox? [21:39] Sirisian|Work: http://pastebin.com/f5d22da3 [21:39] VCoolio: yes restart mpd [21:39] Sirisian|Work: thats: apt-cache search python [21:39] MFen: heh [21:40] !virtualbox > m45h [21:40] m45h, please see my private message [21:40] AakashPatel: you don't compile and archive, you add files to it [21:40] okay [21:40] sudo apt-get install alsa-base alsa-utils , then : /etc/init.d/alsa-utils start [21:40] mdm: uh, ./configure and make make an archive [21:40] MFen: you never know.. someone there might have come across it.

[21:41] Scunizi: well, the thing is now i understand pretty well how it's happening, and it's hard to see how the problem is truly the responsibility of any one of these programs. === magical_trevsky is now known as magical [21:41] AakashPatel: im sure it does, it used ar to create it. But in order for you to run samba you will need libs for that platform, in this case arm. The archive you have is comprised of libraries for x86 or x86_64 NOT arm. So it will not work [21:41] Where's a good temp place to throw a screen shot in the same venu as pastebin? [21:42] Scunizi: tinypic imageshack [21:42] mdm: no luck yet; you have other things to try?

[21:42] E3b Try /join #alsa [21:42] VCoolio: in that device line, assuming you have a dsp that can decode 5.1 tell it to use whatever it is, you will have to list the hw with alsa and sort of guess depending on your card [21:43] AakashPatel: its not as simply as just cross compiling, you also need the headers for that platform and the libs [21:43] i'm on 8.10. it's actually gotten better since 8.04 [21:43] Jrib: with virtualbox can i create VPS with different linux distros so i can learn CentOS too [21:43] m45h: yep === theGussi is now known as Gussi [21:44] okay mate it read the links you sent [21:44] hey. How do i stop the "system bell" sound on a laptop? WHen i get an email, it beeps. When I messup in the terminal, it beeps... [21:44] AakashPatel, you need a "cross compiler tool chain" (each part of the regular build process (chain) that is reconfigured for your new target architecture (arm)) [21:45] m45h: sure, feel free to ask the channel for more help if you don't understand something === maxjay_ is now known as MaxJezus [21:45] okay thanks mate [21:45] AakashPatel, one semi-famous guy made one, i think just called "cross [script]"; a Web search will eventually lead you to it [21:45] myk_robinson: xset b 0 or just unload the kernel module for it... [21:45] MFen: have you tried detaching screen prior to restarting X to see if it exibits the same behavoir? [21:45] maybe thats a better alternative to OpenVZ [21:45] AakashPatel: like bernz said its not as easy as just compiling. hence the reason I suggested for you to install arm Debian instead [21:45] AakashPatel, i say semi-famous, because i can't remember his name, but i *think* it started with "daniel" [21:46] bernz: yea, im using scracthbox [21:46] jrib: thanks. On a side note, how do I make xset changes permanent? I have to run xset -dpms on my media center PC at least twice a day [21:46] scratchbox* [21:46] mdm's suggestion is good, because it's a "turnkey" type thing, so you avoid the complication of rerolling your toolchain [21:46] myk_robinson: I just drop it in ~/.profile, but what you said suggests that won't work [21:47] AakashPatel, i've gone through all this insanity once before, and if you're lucky, i still have my notes somewhere here... let me dig for a sec [21:47] I am making a python script, and I have problems making it unicode. Where should I put the u here: aldur = int(raw_input("Hvussu nogv ar ert tu?

[22:01] VCoolio: first off you have an all software sound setup, menaing alsa has to do the heavy lifting. Secondly you can not play stereo as 5.1 without "faking" surround sound. All this can be done, but with some rather complicated alsa settings [22:01] ahh, synaptic tells me where stuff is installed [22:01] jim____: will try [22:01] awsome [22:01] can anyone help me with my problem with skype and PulseAudio?

[22:02] Scunizi: i'm trying to do everything in the browser [22:02] VCoolio: in other words you have a 2.0 source you want to play 5.1. You do not have any sub or rear audio to play so you need alsa to make you fake 5.1 [22:03] my biggest gripe is that i can't get on http://www.picnik.com/app [22:03] and that's a web app not an swf file [22:03] mdm: vlc and smplayer do this fake surround already, don't ask why; just noticed that mpd doesn't and thought it might be a simple line added to mpd.conf === Deceptico is now known as Decepticon [22:03] hi people! how to force a script run at startup?? oh and, I only have ssh access to the server and Xserver is not up..

[22:47] TitanMKD: The site for Backtrack doesn't mention what gui it uses .. you'll have to check out #linux for more info.. the basic instructions are the same however.

When i enable the nvidia driver (geforce 8300 on an ASUS m3n78 pro) it fails to load the login manager and hangs at black screen. I have to reboot in recovery mode and reset xorg.conf. Is this a known issue? [22:51] hiptobecubic: ive seen it around on forums [22:52] hiptobecubic: it may not have read your monitor specs correctly.. you can try running sudo nvidia-xconfig.. and/or installing nvidia-settings and running that. [22:52] so like [22:52] I'll try it thanks Scunizi. Is there a way to save myself from a hard reset if it hangs again? [22:53] w1r0d May I have a word in PM please [22:53] hiptobecubic: you might be able to CTRL+ALT+F2 and from there sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart.. when all else fails you might have to install the driver direct from nvidia.. [22:53] any one knows what does this stand for ? : net, net.80203, wake_on_lan .... [22:54] !coc > we11er [22:54] hiptobecubic: ctrl+alt+F7 will take you back to the gui if its loaded [22:54] Scunizi, i tried switching vts, but no luck [22:54] hiptobecubic: then it's a hard reset [22:54] Ive recently upgraded to Ubunut 9.04 and had flashplugin-nonfree as a broken package ... it says that its in a bad consistent .. and needs to be reinstalled...I tried everything to do to remove/ reinstall and manually delete config files .. nothing works !

[22:55] 802.3 are packet types, including but not limited to WOL [22:56] i need to know if net.80203 capability means i have an ethernet card with a bluetooth capability [22:56] Scunizi a last question which apt-get repository is required to have good headers ? [22:56] mib_bmu46kso: http://www.google.com/search?q=802.3 [22:56] mib_bmu46kso, no [22:56] Scunizi for 2.6.29.4 [22:57] hiptobecubic: if you can get to a terminal in the rescue kernel load.. then using aptitude you can search for nvidia and uninstall the loaded driver.. or edit xorg.conf and change the nvidia reference for driver to nv and restart X.

[23:28] i also have more than one uid in my auth.log [23:28] Hi to all [23:28] ruler do you mean compiler? or do you mean development environment? [23:29] hello .. can someone tell the command for knowing how much RAM i have ? [23:29] hey all, if my system is 64bit with 8gb ram can I use ubuntu 32bit and have it see my 8gb ram? [23:29] so much stuff doesn't work with 64bit [23:29] DanDan: cat /proc/meminfo [23:30] ceej: no [23:30] ceej: well maybe [23:30] DanDan: free -m [23:30] mib_bmu46kso, that's just indication that a cronjob is being run as root and that PAM has authenticated root's logon. [23:30] ceej: I haven't noticed anything not functioning under 64bit, however you will not be able to use your 8gigs of ram with a 32-bit machine. [23:30] hatter243, similar error but with "update-binfmts: warning: /var/lib/binfmts/pthon2.6 does not exist: nothing to do!" [23:30] unop: PAM? [23:30] unop: is that an user? [23:31] unop: Cause i haven't created any [23:31] Pluggable Authentication Module [23:31] how to install c progamming [23:31] waltm, =/ [23:31] mib_bmu46kso, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pluggable_Authentication_Modules [23:31] ruler: apt-get install gcc [23:31] hey all having a bit of a hard tie trying to develop for the new notify-osd, I am trying to compile the example code but it keeps saying cant find linnotify, isn;t that the old one? [23:31] *libnotify [23:31] mdm : .. where it says how much RAM I have .. I'm a newbie .. I can't really understand the ouptput of that command [23:32] Fohn: what about doing http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-use-more-than-3gb-ram-on-32-bit-ubuntu.html [23:32] unop: Thanks man [23:32] I'm running jaunty with kde3 installed and I have an xrandr command that runs when I login to fix the screen brightness on my laptop. Unfortunately, the xrandr command only works in gnome. Is there a way around this? (command: xrandr --output LVDS --set BACKLIGHT_CONTROL native) Perhaps a way to put it in the xorg.conf? [23:32] hello guys [23:32] hatter243, thanks for trying, I'll try asking again in a few ;) [23:32] does anyone know how to change the (menus) icon for connecting psp ? [23:32] waltm, good luck! [23:32] by default an ipod icon appears.. [23:33] DanDan: assuming you mean physical its the first line, if you want to know total of the memory its VmallocTotal thats both swap and physical [23:34] ceej: I wouldn't recommend doing that, you're not likely to see any actual performance boost, even if the server kernel does allow you to see the RAM. [23:34] I am trying to uninstall nvidia-glx-new and i'm getting dpkg errors. http://dpaste.com/51637/ any ideas? [23:34] The trashbin, as well as the time and date has moved it self to the center of the bar on the top of the screen. What can I do? [23:34] bkt5401, Be specific [23:35] hello can someone help me install the sharpfonts? thanks [23:35] ed_debian, What information is missing? [23:35] Lyth you can re-arrange the panels all you want!1 Right click on things and "unlock" them then right click and hit move [23:35] bkt5401, What are the errors? [23:35] ok, so I just downloaded the tupac discography in mp3 form. Rythmbox doesn't recognize it. When I click the file, it plays with Totem Move Player instead or Rythmbox. When I try to make the mp3s open in rythmbox, rythmbox still doesn't recognize the file, and refuses to play it, instead playing whatever is on the list. Help? [23:35] Lyth: right click and uncheck lock to panel.. right click again and move then move it where you want it.. again right click and lock to panel again [23:35] ed_debian, nvidia-glx-new is intalled and apt / synaptic fail to do anything because it can't be uninstalled. I paste binned the errors. http://dpaste.com/51637/ [23:36] !mp3 > brennus [23:36] brennus, please see my private message [23:36] mdm : whats Mem and whats Swap .. if you dont mind [23:36] http://mein-erstes-mal.net/?id=2052538 [23:36] http://mein-erstes-mal.net/?id=2052538 [23:36] does anyone know why i get a no such file or directory with this command? scp -p 2222 billybigrigger@cabo:/var/www/www.tgz /var/www/www.tgz [23:36] pirates... [23:36] Ubuntu is constantly freezing and logging out after a while [23:36] im trying to scp a tar from my system to my server [23:36] !swap | DanDan [23:36] DanDan: 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 [23:36] billybigrigger, is that file name correct? [23:36] http://mein-erstes-mal.net/?id=2052538 [23:36] http://mein-erstes-mal.net/?id=2052538 [23:36] ed_debian: bkt5401 did pastebin the errors... [23:36] ruler: please no pms.. if you have a single c file say a helloworld.c you can do "gcc helloworld.c -o helloworld.o" to compile it and you can run helloworld.o to execute it [23:37] sebsebseb : 1004112 kB equals how many GB :P ? [23:37] bkt5401::: yes, the file is on my system "alixandra" and im trying to put it on my server "cabo" [23:37] bkt5401, That is a strange error. What happens if you mark that pacakge for reinstallation in synaptic? [23:37] http://mein-erstes-mal.net/?id=2052538 http://mein-erstes-mal.net/?id=2052538 http://mein-erstes-mal.net/?id=2052538 http://mein-erstes-mal.net/?id=2052538 [23:37] bkt5401, I'm just curious, do you have python2.6-minimal installed in synaptic? I'm trying to fix a similar error I traced back to that package. [23:37] DanDan: don't know [23:37] ed_debian, it can't uninstall. i get exit code 2 [23:37] bkt5401, REinstall [23:37] http://mein-erstes-mal.net/?id=2052538 [23:38] ed_debian, checking now [23:38] billybigrigger, you're going the wrong way.. put the file you want copied first then the location 2nd [23:38] is there a better choice than NFS, considering that windows/linux machines will mount the remote filesystem being shared (by NFS?)? [23:38] DanDan: the box uses memory and disk space together. It has swap space to page out non used memory. MemTotal is physical, if you see MemFree low it means your box is running out of memory, It shoud normally cache and swap out memory, unless you have so much it does not matter [23:38] billybigrigger, are you on the box that has the file? .. plus you won't put the filename on the destination you'll just put the directory [23:39] if i have x86 architecutre for do i force installed thing from package installer that are i386, like flash from the adobe site [23:39] !cat | helper [23:39] helper, please see my private message [23:39] DanDan: err more like not used recently memory [23:39] ok, so I just downloaded the tupac discography in mp3 form. Rythmbox doesn't recognize it. When I click the file, it plays with Totem Move Player instead or Rythmbox. When I try to make the mp3s open in rythmbox, rythmbox still doesn't recognize the file, and refuses to play it, instead playing whatever is on the list. I have the Ubuntu Restricted Extras package installed, and can play other mp3s fine. [23:39] bkt5401: you could try some --force paramwter I think... [23:39] !memory [23:39] A quick FAQ on Memory Management: http://gentoo-wiki.com/FAQ_Linux_Memory_Management For Lubos Lunak's desktop memory usage comparison, see: http://ktown.kde.org/~seli/memory/desktop_benchmark.html [23:39] ed_debian, reinstall works. Uninstall still does not. [23:39] apt-get install libssl-dev on jaunty gives 2 errors: Depends: libssl0.9.8 (= 0.9.8g-14ubuntu1) but 0.9.8g-15ubuntu3 is to be installed (+1 more) how do I fix this? [23:39] there is 9.09 version of ubuntu out there ? [23:40] Gourlis, no there isnt why? [23:40] Is there a way to put something like "BRIGHTNESS_CONTROL" from xrandr in the xorg.conf? [23:40] bkt5401, The package what happens if you go to that place and put a blank file there with the same name? Maybe just that one file is out of line. Bottom line though the package manager is messed up and you should file a bug cause this is a big deal. [23:40] Gourlis: 9.04 is the latest, 9.10 is in the making [23:40] Gourlis, however 9.10 is being worked on [23:40] How can I know which program is using my sound card! [23:40] coz_, ok nevermind. An idiot in a forum said that he used Ubuntu 9.09 and it's perfect than anything. [23:41] lol [23:41] Gourlis, no problem but ubuntu 9.10 is now being developed [23:41] how to make like i want file 2 to copy into file 1 using cat ? does this work ! like cat file1 file2 [23:41] !karmic | Gourlis [23:41] Gourlis: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [23:41] Hi everyone. Can anyone help me with a webcam? I've been working on it for several days now, and I finally have the drivers installed. It's still not working though [23:41] coz_, yeah i know [23:41] cool [23:41] helper: cat file1 file2 > file3 [23:42] arand, i'll can use it with ATI Radeon ? :D [23:42] broken: reboot? === bk|away is now known as bk [23:42] coz_, I use 8.10, the only one which works just fine for me, but I loved 9.04 because of speed. [23:43] Gourlis, oh ok well you use what works and what you need :) [23:43] wtf libssl is no longer in jaunty [23:43] helper: Or, if you want to append file2 to file1, then (note double >> is append, > is overwrite): cat file2 >> file1 [23:43] where is it now? [23:43] brennus: Thanks for the suggestion, but I've already tried it. [23:43] hi [23:43] hwo do i isntall flash on an x86 machine? [23:43] ed_debian, aha! This is 64 bit ubuntu and the package contains references to files in /usr/lib32 (which does not exist) [23:43] coz_, wb [23:43] bkt5401, AWesome! (That is still a bug) [23:44] Gourlis: Not sure, ask in #ubuntu+1, surf launchpad for kk-specifics, etc. I'm on nvidia, working fine. [23:44] ed_debian, why it installed a 32bit pkg is beyond me at the moment. [23:44] geirha, aha sorry but what << this use for echo i always see like echo << for what ? [23:44] yeah [23:44] ruler: avoid private messaging please.. ask in this channel.. so other interested people can also ask/learn and i can help you better too.. [23:44] grkblood13, go to adobe.com and download the .deb file there [23:44] they only have i386 [23:44] i got it though [23:44] ruler: in a terminal you can use the gcc command [23:44] no worries [23:44] --force-architecture [23:44] grkblood13, same thing [23:44] I have a broken package, python2.6-minimal, that is causing problems and I can't uninstall it through synaptic or apt-get. It just returns errors. http://paste.ubuntu.com/188619/ Is there another way to get rid of it? [23:45] helper: Hm? Could you paste an example at http://paste.ubuntu.com/ ? [23:45] so it appears in jaunty that libssl is now openssl [23:45] grkblood13: afaik, flashplugin-installer in the repos does pretty much the same... [23:45] and there is a libssl-dev - but it does not match the ssl version in openssl [23:46] is there some kind of screen recorder specilized for ubuntu and can I edit the video pretty easley? or does camtasia work? [23:46] Matson: Do you have the unsupported repos in it? libssl is proprietary and won't be in the default repos.... thats why openssl is there [23:46] geirha, like this : echo ./count < ./count [23:47] geirha, does this overwrite [23:47] graelin: checking... thanks [23:47] Mow: recordmydesktop-gtk [23:47] !info istambul [23:47] Package istambul does not exist in jaunty [23:47] helper: that doesn't make sense. You're sending the content of ./count to echo's stdin, but echo doesn't do anything with stdin. [23:48] thats a application that comes with ubuntu already installed correct? [23:48] geirha, sorry mean echo ./count < ./count1 [23:48] Mow: no.. you have to install it from Synaptic Package manager [23:48] geirha, okie [23:48] Scunizi, thanks [23:48] helper: Still doesn't make sense. What is it supposed to do? [23:49] Mow: np.. it's actually recordmydesktop or gtk-recordmydesktop [23:49] Matson: My bad... was thinking different package: libssl and libcrypto development libraries, header files and manpages. [23:49] It is part of the OpenSSL implementation of SSL. [23:49] Is there something I can put in the xorg.conf that would be the equivalent of xrandr --output LVDS --set BACKLIGHT_CONTROL native? [23:49] geirha, it doesn't but i usually see it on sites so i was like to know =) seems nothing [23:49] Scunizi: recordmydesktop [23:49] they are both listed Mow [23:50] geirha, so the usefull is > and >> and about cat < ./count it run count shell right ? [23:50] helper: It's common to do stuff like "echo something > file" and "echo something >> file" === louiem is now known as enfo [23:50] geirha, okie thx [23:50] i deleted a file by accident. how can I get it back in Ubuntu 9.04? [23:50] Scunizi: there the same thing arnt they? [23:50] Pixels: you can't easilly if at all really [23:50] helper: If you want to run a script called count, do "./count" [23:50] erUSUL: Mow: istanbul is the name of another possible app. [23:50] sebastien: so there is a way? [23:51] geirha, okie :) [23:51] Mow: should be.. but if you're running gnome then I think the recommended install is the gtk version.. [23:51] !recover | Pixels [23:51] Pixels: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel [23:51] Pixels: Open the trash and restore it.. if its not there.. it's history [23:51] Pixels: I seem to be good at factoid guessing :) [23:51] graelin: trash is emptied [23:52] tar is the undelete command [23:52] I just need a simple video recorder and a program to edit it with [23:52] mdm: ?? tar is like zip sort of [23:53] that link you gave says:..Deleted or lost files can usually be recovered from failed or formatted drives and partitions, CD-ROMs and memory cards using the free/libre software available in the Ubuntu repositories. The data is recoverable because the information is not immediately removed from the disk. [23:53] Mow: easy enough to try one then the other if needed [23:53] tar is an archiver, when I said that I was impling the only real way to undelete anything is to restore it [23:53] graelin: so its not history [23:53] Pixels: yep as long as it's not been overwritten [23:54] sebastien: thats good news, so I can recover my deleted file that has been emptied from trash :) [23:54] Pixels: maybe yeah [23:54] alright I downloaded them but I cant find them now [23:54] Pixels: what file system is it on? [23:54] mdm: i thik i have ext3. how can I be sure? [23:55] Pixels: you will have Ext3 by default [23:55] mount [23:55] nvm found thanks [23:55] mdm: type ext3 [23:55] !ext3 | Pixels [23:55] Pixels: ext3 is the default filesystem on Ubuntu, and the most popular on Linux. You can read/write from Windows to ext3 via http://www.fs-driver.org [23:55] mdm: is that good or bad? lol [23:55] Mow: editing is a little different.. not sure what format the recorder puts it in.. however there are several options to edit. Kdenlives, LiVeS! (on www.getdeb.net), pitivi, kino etc [23:56] you can hope and prey the inode is still intact and use e2undelete on it. I wouldnt put much faith in it finding anything usefull however [23:56] graelin: still struggling with this [23:56] in /etc/network/interfaces, is there a way to define a bridge without bridge_ports? [23:56] where are the libssl dev support? [23:56] mdm: so what happens when a file is deleted and removed from trash? its overwritten automatically? [23:57] Pixels: no [23:57] Pixels: no the inodes are unlinked [23:57] pkg-config --print-errors "openssl" - says openssl is not installed, but it is! [23:57] Pixels: it just dosan't have a reference or whatever on the disk [23:57] Pixels: then later on will get overwritten probably === shyam_k`` is now known as shyam_ === shyam_ is now known as shyam_k [23:57] .ogv I think [23:57] all the solutions on forums keep saying to install libssl-dev [23:57] i installed ubuntu using alternative install and chose to encrypt the file system... does that mean not even ascii editors can see anything of value on the entire ubuntu partition? [23:58] sebsebseb: ok sounds like I can kiss the file goodbye [23:58] Pixels: you can even delete a Ubuntu/Linux Ext3 partition, and then use a Windows program to gain access to the deleted partition and get hold of data, that's what I did one time [23:58] Pixels: if you just now deleted them shut down the box immediatly, boot to cd, download e2undelte and compile it, then prey it finds something. Most likly it wont and the file system already used those freed inodes [23:58] Pixels: encryption is "scramble" needing a key to unscramble [23:58] mdm: I deleted the file about 30 mins ago :P thats why I now believe its gone.. been since using firefox and even downloaded a file === Solidus_ is now known as Solidus [23:59] Scunizi: does that mean not even ascii editors can see anything of value on the entire ubuntu partition? [23:59] Pixels: it will still be there probably, just no reference or whatever on the disk for it [23:59] Pixels: like I said stop using it immedialy, boot to cd, hope its still there and use e2undelete [23:59] does emchain armel work on ubuntu? [23:59] mdm: yeah, thanks. brb [23:59] Pixels: if the whole partition is encrypted.. no.. an ascii editor might see something but it won't mean anything.
