Maybe there's a similar Pavilion ZV worth looking at...

[00:08] fbc-mx: its a known bug, only solution I know is to move them to a local folder. [00:08] fbc-mx: nautilus dosent really 'mount' them - it 'browses' them. I mount my samba shares via fstab or commandline so all apps can access the shares as if they were local dirs.

Any solutions to getting this page working? [00:11] and sun-java6-plugin [00:12] dawdle, 64 bit or 32 bit? [00:12] dawdle, check about:plugins in firefox and make sure only the Sun java plugin is there [00:12] cabrey, 32 [00:12] ^ [00:13] on windows I use an app called PopPeeper to check all my emails from multiple email address.. Is there an equivalent on Ubuntu? [00:13] Dr_Willis, Is there anyway to do that from the GUI or do you have to manual edit the fstab?

Where is the standard location for libraries on ubuntu? [00:14] jreyes331: What kind of laptop is that? Just curious [00:14] erUSUL, does gnubiff support multiple accounts?

[00:15] dawdle, go to java.com and click the test installation ... maybe the website you are visiting needs older version of the JVM [00:15] fccf, I dont have evolution installed [00:15] mdg: still, there's a tutorial out there that points out how to install xubuntu in this machine [00:15] dawdle, the site works for me ... I don't think I have java installed, and I use noscript ;) [00:15] dawdle, perhaps you can try the IcedTea plugin instead of suns? [00:15] erUSUL the channel #ubuntu-sa is empty [00:15] fccf, you 100% sure evolution does it? [00:16] ibuclaw, noscript blocks javascript, not java [00:16] tomtommy: yes [00:16] jreyes332: Sorry I just got here - you doing an install? [00:16] ubuntu34: well then you will have to ask here in english... [00:16] tomtommy: I have 6 pop accounts and one gmail imap account being pulled by evolution [00:16] tomtommy: i use evolution for gmail, windows live mail, and my university's mail [00:17] mdg: in fact, it's already installed, the problem is the boot up: it won't take to the login prompt, instead it stops with a "loading manual drivers" message [00:17] thunderbird does that too. [00:17] jreyes332: what's it say just before that? [00:17] dawdle: noscript was blocking somthing at that site.. i had to allow several things in noscript, to get it to work [00:17] jreyes332: do ctrl-alt-f2 to get a fresh terminal [00:18] dawdle: and click OK on several security key dialogs. [00:18] fccf: i installed gnubiff, but how do I now load it? [00:18] Dr_Willis, ibuclaw, when you direct firefox to about:plugins, what does it state is the java version? [00:18] mdg: it gives me some udevd-events..... abnormal exits [00:18] hy everyone! how do i export from inkscape so the other can open in corel draw? with the vectors and stuff [00:18] TomTommy: is an applet add it to one of your panels [00:18] dawdle: and noscript can block java. :) [00:19] erUSUL: what? [00:19] erUSUL: how? [00:19] tomtommy: I didn;t reccommend gnubiff... uh gnubiff from command line [00:19] fccf: already tried that, didn't get me to any terminal [00:19] jreyes332: how long do you let it try loading? [00:19] panels? [00:19] Dr_Willis, I have integrated that information now [00:19] The IcedTea Java Web Browser Plugin 1.4.1 (6b14-1.4.1-0ubuntu7) executes Java applets. [00:19] TomTommy: right click on one of the panels choose add to panel search for gnubiff [00:19] fccf: i want it added to menu, how? [00:20] tomtommy learn to use system>perferences>mainmenu === muellisoft is now known as Muelli [00:20] could I get some help with mounting a partition? [00:20] Is it safe to have both sun JDK and iced tea / openJDK installed on my system? Am I going to be able to distinguish between them, both in firefox and in command line stuff? [00:20] mdg: it got stuck for about two hours in that "Loading manual drivers" this morning. But it takes about 5 minutes to get from the splash screen to the error messages [00:20] suupCOOL, sure [00:20] TomTommy: the program you just downloaded is an applet like the clock, etc on your panel [00:20] jreyes332: how big a swap file did you make? === saulus_ is now known as SauLus [00:21] mdg: twice the ram, that it 512 MB [00:21] dawdle, I use the same as Dr_Willis [00:21] gnubiff sucks dogs balls... not for me [00:21] hi, i just updated to 9.04, and now when i logon it plays the logon sound and then instantly logs me out again? (this is on mac osX in a parallels vm) does anyone have an idea how to fix this? [00:21] cabrey, I had one partition was all right before upgrading 9.04. After upgrade, everytime, I click on it, it does not allow me to mount [00:21] how long you had xubuntu on it? [00:21] mdg: intalled it yesterday, never got to work [00:21] suupCOOL, have you tried manually mounting it? [00:21] tomtommy: try evolution [00:21] how I install evolution? [00:22] openJDK/Icedtea6 6b14-1.4.1 [00:22] cabrey it says unable to mount 10.0 GB media [00:22] tomtommy: is should be installed [00:22] jreyes332: odd that Ctrl + Alt + F2 does not get you to a terminal [00:22] cabrey failed to execute child process "gnome mount" [00:22] suupCOOL, run ls /dev/sd* in the terminal [00:22] tomtommy: look for the icon next to firefox on the default ubuntu panel [00:22] ibuclaw, Dr_Willis, I'm installing icedtea now. Thanks for the info. [00:22] TomTommy: look for icon between firefox and help .. looks like envelopt [00:22] MK13: its not there [00:22] i think I removed it ages ago [00:23] mdg: it doesn't give me a prompt, it's just the blinking cursor... are there any instruction I can enter there? [00:23] mdg: try alt+F2 [00:23] cabrey output: /dev/sda /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2 ...... [00:23] jreyes332: how long was the computer running before you installed? [00:23] how I install evolution? i think I removed it [00:23] What program must you need to view a microsoft created document? [00:23] Linuz2009: open office [00:23] Linuz2009: what type of document? [00:23] tomtommy press alt+f2 and type in evolution to see if it is installed [00:23] suupCOOL, ok do you know which one is the partition you need mounted/ [00:23] jreyes332: lots of stuff you can at the cursor [00:23] Linuz2009: generally, open office, as we told you in #ubuntu-offtopic [00:24] Linuz2009: but some other formats not necessarilty [00:24] MK13: no such file or directory it says [00:24] Linuz2009: you realise that msoffice is a suite of programs, yes ? [00:24] mdg: I reinstalled it today, it was not running before I installed it. Are you suggesting that the installation is corrupt due to a hot CPU? [00:24] then run 'sudo apt-get install evolution' in a terminal [00:24] I've accidentally uninstalled network-manager & network-manager-gnome. I'm not using a live session from my old intrepid CD. Could someone help me find the URLs for those packages so I can wget (and hopefully save to the HD... not really sure how to mount things atm) and then install them without network access from the 'real' installation? [00:24] cabrey i am not sure [00:24] jreyes332: no, now that I know you reinstalled and not running before that [00:24] cabrey how do I find that out [00:24] yes, but when I click an open linked document online, nothing happened. [00:24] tomtommy: run 'sudo apt-get install evolution' in a terminal [00:24] jreyes332: do you have the link you used for install? [00:25] can anyone help me with installing a library please? [00:25] http://www.lucidtips.com/2008/10/25/xubuntu-804-on-compaq-armada-m300/ [00:25] I've been looking in http://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/ubuntu/ for example -- but I don't see an obvious way to follow down the hierarchy to find the actual package [00:25] suupCOOL, first we can try to reinstall gnome-mount and see if that gets us anywhere [00:25] MK13: i typed that in, and it says "evolution cannot be installed, missing dependencies" [00:25] Mike_lifeguard: ahve you tried useing apt-get [00:25] mdg: the problem with the blinking cursor is tat it doesn't write anything on the screen [00:25] For example someone posted their document online so viewer can view the document, it was being downloaded in my computer. Nothing happened. [00:25] jreyes332: did you use the alternate install CD? [00:26] MK13: no its ok! it installed now [00:26] mdg: yes I did [00:26] Mike_lifeguard: packages.ubuntu.com ? [00:26] Linuz2009: so? double click the saved file [00:26] cabrey it seems like upgrade remove gnome-mount [00:26] scunizi: k, I'll take a look there [00:26] Hi does any body use a alfa network and know if it is safe to change the txpower and how to do it thanks [00:26] MK13: ok its installed.. so now I add my 5 different email accounts and evolution will check them all? including my hotmail etc? [00:26] cabrey now installing gnome-mount [00:26] tomtommy: yes [00:26] Mike_lifeguard: which release? [00:26] I'll visit the site again for further analysis [00:27] MK13: cool [00:27] tomtommy: you just may need to google how to set it up for each individual site, some mail providers require different settings [00:27] jreyes332: did you do the bios upgrade thing? [00:27] MK13: what server type do I choose for my hotmail and live email accoints? [00:27] TomTommy: I don't think that hotmail has pop access unless you're paying for the service.. I could be wrong though. [00:27] cabrey problem solved [00:27] cabrey thank you [00:27] suupCOOL, :) [00:28] tomtommy: it will usually be pop [00:28] cabrey have a nice day [00:28] scunizi: WHAT? evoliution wont work with hotmail?? lonly POP accounts? [00:28] suupCOOL, you too [00:28] MK13: no! i dont use pop for my hotmail accounts [00:28] mdg: yes, burned the cd and did that stuff, I also thought it would help [00:28] TomTommy, no he is saying that POP is a premium feature [00:28] tomtommy: why not? [00:28] scunizi: jaunty [00:28] it is possible to send a message to a shell message to a shell when a cronjob is being executed [00:28] TomTommy: if hotmail has imap or pop access then no problem.. but "back in the day" it would only let you access via a browser.. [00:28] cabrey: what "server type" do I choose in evolution to get it to check my hotmail email? [00:28] scunizi: I've found the packages, but I'm not sure which file to download... aren't they supposed to be .deb? [00:29] I see .dsc files [00:29] tomtommy: you can use pop to access hotmail... i do it myself so i know it works [00:29] cabrey: not anymore, I read my Hotmail in Gmail via POP [00:29] MK13: but its asking for "SERVER". what do I put in there? [00:29] jreyes332: perhaps you should try 8.10 [00:30] pop access is not a premium feature in hotmail anymore ;P [00:30] Mike_lifeguard: not sure what those are.. but maybe something that is recognizeable by apt.. under what catagory were you looking for your packages? [00:30] TomTommy: refer to instructions on hotmail.com [00:30] MK13: in Server Type.. what do you chose for hotmail? [00:30] fccf: no [00:30] fccf: hotmail.com has nothing about evolution settings in ubuntu [00:30] scunizi: networking. I've found the exact ones, I just don't see which file I'm supposed to get [00:31] mdg: perhaps. But I was opting for another distro entirely. Any suggestion? I don't want to go that far and get Damn Small [00:31] tomtommy: server type is pop , and server is 'pop3.live.com' [00:31] MK13: that's kinda nice to know.. fortunately I use my hotmail account for junk inquiries on the web and check it about once a quarter just to delete the cruft [00:31] >> Ubuntu >> Packages >> jaunty >> net >> network-manager [00:31] ahahahaah erasing kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk [00:31] MK13: but I dont have a pop account with live do I? [00:31] TomTommy: setting up evolution is exactly like setting up any other email client - hotmail will have the correct server to connect to [00:31] tomtommy: yes, it is standard now [00:31] jreyes332: are you set on xubuntu feel? [00:31] linxeh:I did saved the doc. file but when I tried to open the file with another application(Document Viewer), it reply back saying that this format is not supported. [00:32] tomtommy: or it should be, some countries may not have access via pop, but most do [00:32] MK13: what about in the SMPT field? [00:32] And then, how do I mount partitions during a live session, so I can save these files? [00:32] tomtommy: smtp.live.com [00:32] MK13: what do I put in there? [00:32] ok [00:32] TomTommy, http://linuxowns.wordpress.com/2009/03/04/setting-up-evolution-mail-gmail-and-hotmail/ [00:32] mdg: not really. I have ubuntu in this laptop. In that old one Knoppix ran almost smoothly from the CD, just some problems with OpenOffice, which I understand [00:32] jreyes332: perhaps zenwalk - based on slackware - one of the oldest distros [00:32] Current User [00:32] cabrey: any link in how to setup mail.com with evolution? [00:32] Mike_lifeguard: for 32bit network-manager_0.7.1~rc4.1.cf199a964-0ubuntu2_i386.deb [00:33] tomtommy: this site will tell you what to choose: http://www.ghacks.net/2009/01/22/enable-hotmail-pop3-in-all-countries/ [00:33] scunizi: that looks better - where'd you find that? [00:33] jreyes332: arch or debian if you really like to tweak the setup [00:33] tomtommy: it is not meant specifically for evolution but it will work, just don't worry about the ports [00:33] Mike_lifeguard: it's listed at the top of this page http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/i386/network-manager/download [00:34] MK13: evolution says "fetching mail" but nothing happpens,, hasnt even asked me for my password yet [00:34] Mike_lifeguard: the different mirrors are listed below that .. [00:34] TomTommy, to get POP with mail.com, you must have their 'Premium' service [00:34] mdg: I'll give them a look, the main objective was to get the laptop in this little Wireless network in my house, the Windows install was (is) very very slow [00:35] my server ssh is 189.65.105.227 user admin password is admin, ahahahah using rm [00:35] scunizi: Thanks! [00:35] Mike_lifeguard: here's the full link for download. http://ubuntu.cs.utah.edu/ubuntu/pool/main/n/network-manager/network-manager_0.7.1~rc4.1.cf199a964-0ubuntu2_i386.deb [00:35] tomtommy: on the incomming mail settings you must choose 'this server requires authentication' [00:35] jreyes332: what kind of wifi card? [00:35] now to mount my /home partition... :\ [00:35] MK13: ok brb [00:35] SSH_open_access, what do you want? [00:36] MK13: i cant find the "incomming mail settings" anywhere.. where is that? [00:36] tomtommy: i mean you must choose ssl encryption w/ password authentication [00:36] mdg: Cnet USB card, ran well in Knoppix [00:36] TomTommy: that's the pop settings.. smtp is outgoing [00:36] test my server [00:36] jreyes332: you will probably have best luck in zenwalk [00:37] MK13: youre confuding me :P what do I need to do? [00:37] go to edit>prefrences>mail accounts> then click the account you want to edit and then click the edit button [00:37] MK13: choose ssl encryption w/ password authentication where exactly? [00:37] SSH_open_access: your server works ... usernames Ricardo carol joao mongagua [00:37] how do you use sudo to be root for a while? [00:37] something like sudo su -u username ? [00:37] !rootshell | Mike_lifeguard [00:37] Mike_lifeguard: Using !sudo with single commands is preferable in most circumstances. However, if you really need a root shell, use « sudo -i » (other variants of this commands are redundant and/or potentially dangerous) [00:37] fccf, you use rm LOL [00:37] thanks [00:37] how to upgrade clamtk's GUI version? [00:37] MK13: ssl encryption w/ password authentication doesnt appear ANYWHERE in my Evolution settings [00:37] Mike_lifeguard: you just preface the command with sudo.. each command that needs root access has to be prefaced with sudo [00:37] mdg: great! thanks a lot for your help, I'll see what I can do. [00:38] tomtommy: go to edit>prefrences>mail accounts> then click the account you want to edit and then click the edit button then choose the recieving mail tab [00:38] SSH_open_access: running a Mac i see [00:38] jreyes332: your welcome! good luck :) [00:38] lol [00:38] MK13: im in the recieving mail tab now. [00:38] !lol | SSH_open_access [00:38] SSH_open_access: Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. [00:39] ok, and then to install those deb packages, I use 'sudo dpkg -i /path/to/package.deb' right? [00:39] tomtommy: set the encryption settings there [00:39] MK13: there is NOWHERE in the "recieving email" tab where encryption settings are [00:39] Mike_lifeguard: You can specify more than one, but yes. [00:39] what third-party software sources do i add to make my programs work? [00:39] Mike_lifeguard: yep.. you might have to chmod +x to make it executable.

I want to install a library on ubuntu. I do not know the standard location for libraries [00:51] mdg: http://lifehacker.com/5103464/five-best-media-center-applications check that link, it was chosen the best media center app by lifehacker.com readers [00:51] jreyes332: looks very interesting :) [00:51] tomtommy: w/ ssl on your sending too [00:52] liamo: by library you mean software library... look in /usr/lib [00:52] MK13: with ssl on and "Login", still doesnt send.. im stuck [00:52] hi can i ask a question? [00:53] sometimes when I login, everything is in low resolution, it requires me to restart the computer in recovery mode and then restart in regular mode to get regular resolution, but when I restart [00:53] !ask [00:53] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [00:53] I have just compiled a Sparse Matrix Library on ubuntu. But I need another program to know where it is. [00:53] fccf why was a I kicked yesterday??? i just asked if someone could help me close some open ports... [00:54] fccf i have open port 31337 with the service named Elite. [00:54] mdg: btw, do you know a good wireless router I could get? I have an aging Belkin one that's giving me problems with the LAN setup [00:54] MK13: receives ok, but cannot send [00:54] when using VLC in fullscreen mode, if i change the volume, my screen goes black... where to start? [00:54] hayaya: were you flooding, do not use the enter key for punctuation - have all on one line [00:54] chargersfan420: it goes completely black? [00:54] jreyes332: linksys with the linux rom image works well. [00:54] Any idea what task dims window and freezes cursor? Dell D505 Jaunty [00:55] jreyes332: I use a belkin too [00:55] fccf i did not [00:55] armenian: yes. sound cuts out too. When it goes idle, it goes blank but doesn't black out. the only time i see it blacked out like that is if i close the lid [00:55] chargersfan420: what you might want to do is to disable notifications, like whenever I change volume in fullscreen with vlc i get a black screen blink but never goes completely black for me [00:55] fccf this was my last mesage when i got kicked - ikonia, Jack_Sparrow, port 31337? Elite? Back Orifice? [00:55] tomtommy: look for guides on google ex. 'live mail evolution setup' , i do not use evolution to send mail so i do not know the correct settings, i am testing the settings right now to see if i can figure it out, but i might not be able to [00:55] armenian: you on an ATI card too? [00:55] fccf i kept telling them that i did an nmap on myself and found that information. they insist that i was not being hacked [00:56] MK13: I followed the guide on http://linuxowns.wordpress.com/2009/03/04/setting-up-evolution-mail-gmail-and-hotmail/,, still wont send [00:56] hi. I just had it with Windows Vista (spent two entire days trying to configure mysql to no avail) and I read about Wubi and I've installed it. Sorry for the total Newbie question but Ubuntu recognizes the wireless networks, prompts me for a password but never connects. I don't have a CD burner, so is there any quick way around me searching for the drivers, burning to a CD and installing in Ubuntu? [00:56] no idea why [00:56] jreyes332: I'm not up to N yet - still using G [00:56] MK13: what do you use to send? [00:56] chargersfan420: well I have an ATI radeon x800gt and im on desktop not laptop though [00:56] does Thunderbird support multiple emails, e.g live.com etc? [00:56] fccf then how is it that those ports were open? Come on port 31337?? Its leet speak [00:57] chargersfan420: i mean the flash is normal it's caused by the notification showing up for a second, but it shouldnt go completely blank [00:57] mdg: but now N sounds pretty cool. Still, G is enough for good enough for fast file transfer, isn't it? [00:57] tomtommy: i do not send emails, it is through my university's email adress [00:57] Blazak: doesn't sound like drivers. it sounds like there is an issue with connecting to wep or wpa [00:57] jreyes332: sure [00:57] armenian: thanks for the tip... so any notification, changing volume, low battery, whatever, will do it, hey? were you able to recover without a hard reset when it happened? [00:57] jreyes332: my computers are older - so I stick with a little older stuff [00:57] Blazak: ifi you can turn off the encryption on the wireless then try to connect that will/should tell you [00:57] !tor [00:57] Many Ubuntu IRC channels prohibit access from !proxies such as TOR due to a high level of abuse.

Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr [00:58] My newest is a Gateway E series [00:58] hi [00:58] chargersfan420: it happens to me too with notifications, but I recover it after a second [00:59] scunizi, Thanks. right now im using windows, I'll switch views, get some more info, and brb :) [00:59] mdg: what distro are they running? [00:59] fccf ok [00:59] anyone know where to disable notifications? [00:59] I'm having trouble connecting firefox to TOR (torbutton). The proxy settings are 127.0.0.1:8118 for HTTP and SSL and 127.0.0.1:9050 for SOCKS. I have privoxy installed and vidalia reports that it is connected to the TOR network. What gives? [00:59] hello [01:00] Firefox window dimmed, if I wait long enough it comes back. ANy fix? [01:00] chargersfan420: which notificiations? [01:00] my Gateway E is running Linux Mint 6 and my the Dell L600r was running Mint 5, before I put Mint 6 Fluxbox on it [01:00] has anyone used ubuntu 9.04 with a macbook white? [01:00] tarvid: it's probably eating your ram - check your system monitor [01:00] chargersfan420: not sure what you mean, like i mentioned it only blinks for a second, because what happens is the notification u see on the top right is making an overlay over your video, so you just see it blink black on the whole screen for less than a second, but I never experienced the whole screen going black because of it [01:00] tarvid: that usually means your resources are consumed -- what are your sysem specs? [01:00] chargersfan420: if I were you I would try disabling the notifications, see if that fixes it, that way you will know the cause [01:00] hi [01:00] jreyes332: and I have Ubuntu 8.10 on a G4 iMac [01:00] 384MB Dell D505 Celeron on modest speed [01:01] is there a channel for TOR problems?

[01:01] would a GB help [01:01] tarvid, try epiphany or another lightweight browser [01:02] tarvid: yes [01:02] Wolf23: what kind of sound card you have? [01:02] it would help a lot [01:02] ARMENIAN: i have msi amd 64 ,? [01:02] I recently compiled mplayer, and it almost perfectly.

[01:02] hey all I was wondering if someone could point me to a good dial up Internet tutorial for xubuntu [01:02] Im on Ubuntu 9.04 and I have been usin the nvidia x server settings app to enable the sync to vblank and flipping.On rebooting the system the tick boxes are still ticked but they do longer are in effect because my native install of Doom 3 starts to tear just as when vblank is turned off.So i have to go back and untick and retick to get it smooth again.Is there something Im not doing to get it to remember to actually use those settings e [01:03] Wolf23: sorry that was directed towards someone else :P [01:03] Hello, ever since I have started using Twinview on my dual monitors, STEAM will no longer go to full screen, it will only take up about half of the screen in the middle of one, and I don't know why. [01:03] ARMENIAN: :), but can u solve my problem please [01:03] zamba: try shutter. I think it can't capture video, but it's great for screenshots [01:03] Before I forget - Thanks! [01:04] So something along the lines of me installing ubuntu, sound working, then a reboot, now sound doesn't work, from a previous install of 9.04, I remember having to do something....

[01:10] dpolancom: please restate your question - I wasn't paying close enough attention. sorry [01:10] can someone please tell me how to remove ubuntu 8.04 completely and install 9.04 [01:10] Flannel, to compile mplayer. Ubuntu's mplayer is very old [01:11] and buggy [01:11] alesan, thats odd i never needed that lib to compile mplayer [01:11] alesan: yes, WHY does Ubuntu have an ANCIENT mplayer? [01:11] alesan, at least i don't think... [01:11] sry, I need to config the sound card of a Dell XPS m1330 and I read this: "If not working, edit the file /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base Code: sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base Edit the line "options snd-hda-intel model=ref" to read "options snd-hda-intel model=3stack" If you cannot find this line, add it. If you don't have sound after a reboot, edit the sound preference, and look for the "Front" volume option. Make sure its not muted. Same for PCM. Seems [01:11] I have 2 machines running ubuntu 9.04; on one ps -A shows all the processes, on the other, it only shows the processes by that user (not what man says) where do I look for why this is happeneing on box 2? [01:11] dpolancom: /etc/ is a directory, where most configuration files are saved [01:11] how I get there? [01:11] cypha: Just get the 9.04 CD and install (after you save anything in your /home directory of course) [01:12] gartral, because the mplayer package is very poorly maintained? [01:12] alesan: zlib1g-dev, is what it looks like. But, mplayer is in medibuntu, is that one also old? [01:12] I'm a complete newbie as u can see [01:12] alesan, never mind i seem to have it installed it is zlib1g-dev [01:12] mdg i haev 9.04 cd [01:12] and i burned it [01:12] i'm actuallly in live session right now [01:12] alesan: http://packages.medibuntu.org/jaunty/mplayer.html [01:12] dpolancom: They want you to edit a file and were giving you command line instructions to use nano [01:12] i was in the install, but the partition options didn't offer to replace the old ubuntu partition [01:12] Flannel, cabrey_ I have installed that library but still get undefined references to many zlib symbols [01:12] i figured i needed to select Manual partition [01:12] ko, how I do it [01:12] cypha just burn ubuntu 9.04 boot from the cd and when the partitioning comes activate the checkbox to format the partition and make sure u dont format the windows partition if u have one [01:12] but id din't know the commands [01:12] dpolancom: whats the problem? open a terminal and type the command listed [01:13] cypha: Did you choose to use entire disk? [01:13] no [01:13] ok thanks I will investigate [01:13] of course not [01:13] cypha: back up everything, format and reinstall [01:13] bye! [01:13] i have a windows partition [01:13] ok i'll try [01:13] i have a windows partition, swap, and ubuntu [01:13] i want to replace the ubuntu 8.04 partition with 9.04 [01:13] dpolancom: first copy (cp) the file to a backup area [01:13] cypha: use gparted (available in the live cd) and format the ubuntu partition [01:13] cp /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base /tmp/ [01:13] how do i get to it? [01:13] alesan: thats a side statement... why is it poorly maintained for Ubuntu, Mplayer is *the* most stable player i know of, yet Ubuntu has had the same, 2-3 year old release, full of BOTH bugs and security flaws... it makes no sense to offer it in it's current state [01:13] dopper: open a terminal [01:14] jreyes332: ? [01:14] how do i get to it [01:14] i'm on the live cd [01:14] i can probably format right from here [01:14] dpolancom: that way you have a referenc in case things stop working [01:14] cypha: try alt+f2 and write gparted [01:14] cypha are you on the livecd [01:14] I have 2 machines running ubuntu 9.04; on one ps -A shows all the processes, on the other, it only shows the processes by that user (not what man says) where do I look for why this is happeneing on box 2? [01:14] yes [01:14] the problem is that i have no idea of how to do it [01:14] ok then go on [01:14] gartral, alesan: mplayer in the repos is 1.0rc2... which from the mplayer site is the most recent one. [01:15] cypha: If there is nothing from the previous ubuntu you want to keep, just delete the partition in gparted and resize the remainder, but don't touch the windows one [01:15] :'( [01:15] cypha: don't forget to backup your hidden files and folders in your home directory [01:15] what hidden files/folders? [01:15] i didn't really have anything saved on my ubuntu aprtition [01:15] I manually added mplayer to my "open with" in nautilus, since I compiled it. Now whenever I open two files with it at once, they open in different mplayer instances, not once instance like they used to, any ideas? [01:16] jreyes332: it says i need root privileges to run gparted [01:16] cypha: sudo gparted [01:16] alt+f2 sudo gparted? [01:16] yes [01:16] dpolancom: why the sad face? [01:16] cypha: it should prompt you for your root password when you open it.. but you need to use gksudo, not sudo [01:16] sudo is not for graphical apps :/ [01:16] cypha: yes [01:16] !gksudo | cypha [01:16] cypha: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [01:16] has anyone successfuly been able to send an email via live.com using Evolution? [01:16] thanks IndyGunFreak [01:17] Hmm I didn't know about gksudo [01:17] happy to be of service.. ;) [01:17] cypha: gksudo gparted, yes [01:17] rohit: its not uncommon for folks not to know.

[01:17] gn8 all [01:17] ok, i'm in here [01:17] bai [01:17] yeah I have learnt a lot just listening to the stuff that goes on in here :) [01:17] bobslaede: i think mplayer has a --enque command line option, or a setting in its configs to only run one instance. [01:18] i see the /dev/sda3 that my linux is on [01:18] I think the only useful thing I've seen here that I didn't know was gksudo, rohit :/ [01:18] under it, it has /dev/sda5 (ext3) and /dev/sda6 (linux-swap) [01:18] bjjblue: you did install tor? :) if so how... [01:18] cypha: leave the swap [01:19] Dr_Willis: i used the instructions from tor.eff.org [01:19] cypha: what format is /dev/sda3? [01:19] leave sda3 as well, then? [01:19] cuz the swap i sunder it [01:19] sda3 is extended [01:19] cypha: what partition is windows? [01:19] ntfs [01:19] sda1 [01:19] i'm a bit confused about eglibc...how will compiling (say) a 32-bit binary in Ubuntu with glibc affect it's ability to run in Debian or another distribution that uses eglibc? Seems like there's a lot of potential for breakage :< [01:19] cypha: sda1 leave it too [01:20] DigitalKiwi: theres other useful info here, you just have to know who to watch for that info.. its been a while thoughs ince i really picked up something useful here (but i've used ubuntu for the better part of 3yrs).. [01:20] cypha: you really don't want to backup nothing from ubuntu? [01:20] orochi_: That's offtopic for here. #ubuntu-offtopic might be a better place for it, or maybe one of a few others. [01:20] so just right click on the subpartition /dev/sda5 ? and chooes format [01:20] Flannel: Oh, I see [01:20] cypha: yes, but you'll lose everything [01:20] jreyes332: all i had were some wireless settings, sound settings [01:20] no files [01:20] hopefully, it won't take forever to set that stuff up [01:20] dual screens too [01:21] cypha: ok, then just right click and format on sda5 === saulus_ is now known as SauLus === Guest1816 is now known as sudobash [01:21] format to ext3? [01:21] bjjblue: im guessing ya missed a step.. I recall vidalia being a little quirksome also. but i did get tor and it all working. i just dident like how ti slowed things down so much. so i removed it all. [01:21] cypha: yes, ext3 [01:21] does anyone know how to use a custom login sound theme in jaunty, its not the same as it was in hardy heron! [01:21] I get a black screen after login (no DE) but the mousepointer appears on a fresh install of jaunty on a acer laptop with a ati radeon mobility 7500 [01:22] Dr_Willis: Tor seems to be working fine. It's torbutton/firefox that's not cooperating [01:22] vidalia says it's connected to the TOR network... maybe it's privoxy too? [01:22] hi, with a fresh 9.04 install it seems only one app can be using audio at a time; is that a known bug? anyone know the fix? [01:22] orochi_: Not trying to stifle conversation at all (it's a welcome discussion in -offtopic), but this channel is purely for technical support (not discussions/etc) [01:22] does anyone have blender working in jaunty with ati opensource driver + compiz? [01:22] muzikjock58, System -> Preferences -> Sound | Sounds tab [01:22] filosofixit: Thats weird! [01:22] completed successfully [01:22] bjjblue: yep. I seem to recall some issues with getting those tools all playing nicely together. [01:22] guess i'll brb [01:22] mdg : yup [01:22] gerald: that was a pulse audio problem... not sure if it still is or not, anyways, switch your sound devices over to alsa [01:23] gerald: it shouldn't be an issue for alsa (at least its not for me) [01:23] cypha: when you are installing it, you will have to choose Manual, on the partition screen [01:23] mdg : tried two times [01:23] ok, have a feature request... make it so if I have sudo rights to perform an action I can elevate my priveleges on any command... I think its silly that I have to go to command line to delete a users home directory even though I own this computer [01:23] rohit, i did that, it wont let me change the login sound theme! i dont know what the deal is [01:23] and then sda5? [01:23] in gnome* [01:23] mdg : livecd is working though [01:23] gbear142751: thats not really easially doable for 'any command' [01:23] jreyes332: and then sda5? are there any other options that need to be selected? [01:23] Dr_Willis: i just tried foxyproxy and that seems to work... i guess it's just a torbutton issue [01:23] oh well [01:24] rohit, i can right click on the sound theme all i want, it wont let me do anything. [01:24] gbear142751: you don't really need command line to do that... [01:24] gbear142751: and i find i rarely need to do such a thing after i get my system all setup. [01:24] IndyGunFreak: thanks... I see in the release notes recommend apt-get purge pulseaudio for Kbuntu; do you think that would fix it? (I'm not on Kubuntu afaik) [01:24] cypha: mount point: / [01:24] ok [01:24] that's it? [01:24] gerald: honestly, i didn't purge pulseaudio, i just switched all mys ettings over to alsa, and my issues (including the one you describe), were resolved [01:24] filosofixit: maybe you should copy the xorg.conf settings down and see if they match the install xorg.conf settings [01:24] mount point / won't replace my windows though, right? [01:24] cypha: you'll see that the manual partitioning is in fact, using gparted [01:24] IndyGunFreak: ok, will try that, thx === gary_ is now known as Guest76165 [01:25] gerald: you may need to restart for the changes to take effect, can't remember [01:25] #ubuntu-es [01:25] Dr_Willis: ... if I can do any command in command line by adding sudo to the front... I don't understand why its not that easy to do in the gui? maybe have a button pop up everytime I get a "permission denied" error that is "unlock" like in the user management or something else... that will invoke a root gui for that operation maybe? [01:25] cypha: nope, it will assign the / directory (that means everything on your ubuntu) to that partition... If you leave sda1 alone nothing will happen [01:25] mdg : will try that [01:25] ok [01:25] mdg : thanks :) [01:26] because i though / meant root [01:26] filosofixit: Your welcome :) [01:26] which is a level higher than windows [01:26] also, because /dev/sda1 begins with / [01:26] cypha: root of linux, not win [01:26] IndyGunFreak: it's likely that I already know anything useful I've seen ;D [01:26] How do I get my desktop to see nfs shares? I can mount them manually but they don't show up in the network browser. [01:26] ok [01:26] cool [01:26] gbear142751: of course the issue becomes, if by chance more than one user on the PC, has sudo rights.. and 1 user is an idiot, and chooses to do things that mess things up. [01:26] brb [01:26] thanks a lot senor reyes [01:26] DigitalKiwi: lol, .. :) [01:26] finally I find the folder and file, I edit it after backup it and i says i don't have permissions [01:27] cypha: k, i'll be here for a while [01:27] jreyes332: You've done some installs before! [01:27] now wut? [01:27] mdg: why? [01:27] IndyGunFreak: thats why whoever owns sudo should limit sudo... not limit the application of sudo [01:27] gbear142751: if a command is allready running.. you would have to some how restart the command as the new 'user' - You are not just 'elevating' your permissions. You are running stuff as a different user. [01:27] has anyone ever tried to change the default sound preferences login theme in jaunty? have you had any luck with that? [01:27] dpolancom, sudo chmod -R 777 /path/to/folder [01:27] jreyes332: that was very good tutoring of cypha [01:27] gbear142751: and there are many config tools that do have such an 'unlock' button. they had to be special written to do just that. [01:27] gbear142751: well, i know here at camp gunfreak... nobodyhas sudo access on the linux boxes but me... amazingly, they all perform flawlessly [01:27] muzikjock58, try clicking on desktop->login and selecting custom ? [01:28] Dr_Willis: true... I'm sorry, i know its not as simple as I make it sound... just frustrated and runing into a permission denied error in the gui... was the straw of the minute... [01:28] muzikjock58, within that prev window from preferences... [01:28] mdg: yes, i've done like 8 installs on this machine [01:28] hi [01:28] gbear142751: what were you denied permission for.. [01:28] jreyes332: which distros? [01:28] gbear142751: there is a user admin gui tool.. and the 'deluser' command also has optuions to delte the now-dead users homedirs i recall.. [01:29] IndyGunFreak: alsa works great, no restart needed (just killed pulseaudio and anything using it). I wonder why 9.04 ships with pulseaudio enabled if it's broken. [01:29] mdg: one virtual CentOS, the rest Ubuntu. Most of them failed due to overheated CPU [01:29] gbear142751: the fact that its 'your box' dosent mean the whole os needs to have potental security holes in it.. just to make it easier for a 'single user system' to run.. I use my Ubuntu box's on larger multi-user setups. :) and my 'needs' are just as impornatnt. heh. [01:29] Is there a link where you can directly download individual Karmic Koala packages? [01:29] gerald: great.. pulseaudio has had issues since 8.04, iw as hoping they'd be resolved in 9.04.. but no such luck, maybe 9.10 [01:30] mdg: also did more virtual machine installs on some friends laptops and stuff [01:30] Guest76165 doing that for your jaunty install wound be a bad idea [01:30] I managed to get network-manager and network-manager-gnome installed after downloading them in a live session. However, the network manager applet says "device not managed" (for both eth0 and wlan0) so I can't connect to anything. Do I need to do some configuration to get those to work? [01:30] jreyes332: what's your box running now/what is box? [01:30] IndyGunFreak: Dr_Willis: my roomate just moved out... he had a login, was cleaning up and while logged in as me, just selected his home dir after disabling his account in users and it permission denied me... lol, I think I told my screen that "this is my damned computer, what do you mean permission denied?"... [01:30] thanks for your help [01:30] gbear142751: learning proper admin 'practices' help insure system stability and security. and yes. i have accidently ran 'vi /etc/fstab' many a time when i needed to do 'sudo vi /etc/fstab' :) [01:30] jreyes332: it says "The installer has detected that the following disks have mounted partitions: /dev/sdb. DO you want the installer to try to unmount the partitions on these disks before continuing? If you laeve them mounted, you will not be able to create, delete, or resize partitions on these disks, but you may be able to install to existing partitions there" [01:31] gbear142751: learn to use the tools.. or go use puppylinux. the only user it has is root.. [01:31] gbear142751: well.. if you just want to delete the directory, just go gksudo nautilus, navigate to his home folder, and delete it.. i think you're getting worked up overnothing [01:31] Dr_Willis: yes, lol, I know... was just a peak of frustration, I appreciate the patience though... thanks for listening [01:31] cypha: sdb... do you have a USB flash memory? [01:31] gbear142751: ive had this 'discussion' with guys at work.. 'its my system do what i want even IF it means im going to nuke it by mistake' vs 'keep my system safe and secure from my own brain-burps' :) [01:31] This is the wrong place to deate the use of sudo and permissions in general [01:31] IndyGunFreak: thats what I was trying to remember, gksudo nautilus [01:32] gbear142751: well you didn't say that or i'd ahve told you that at the beginning of your rant..lol [01:32] Dr_Willis: use debian, it will let you commit OS suicide (trust me) [01:32] ok, i unplugged it [01:33] gbear142751: gksudo nautiluis can easially 'accidently' break the system.. :) and it really sucks when you forget which file manager window is the root one.. and make some stuff/launch things as root when you dident mean to. [01:33] cypha: yeah, well done. you're doing everything on sda [01:33] gbear142751: for a root file manager i tend to use 'mc' in a bright red xterm window. :) [01:33] Dr_Willis: true, it should be used w/ caution, but i've never had a problem, i close all nautilus windows, do what i need to do in the root nautilus window, then close it. [01:33] I have a NTFS storage drive, but i want to reformat it for a linux storage drive, what is the best file system ext3? can windows see a ext3 drive? [01:33] jreyes332: what's sda? [01:34] !ext3 | robuntu [01:34] fbc-mx: it worked!!! ty!!! now I'm gonna restart to check if the sound works, ty [01:34] robuntu: 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 [01:34] !sda | cypha [01:34] Sorry, I don't know anything about sda [01:34] rob235: well you can just leave it as ntfs.. ubuntu should read it fine [01:34] IndyGunFreak: :) ive recall many a user having quirky issues because some config/file their user had - was now owned by root.. because they altered it with a root-nautilus window [01:34] where can I request the ubuntu developers create a program for ubuntu that will work well with multiple email accounts? Evolution is giving me lots of trouble using mail.com [01:34] Is there a package search online like on debian http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages [01:34] robuntu: Ext3 is better than NTFS though [01:34] Dr_Willis: well, thankfully i've never been that stupid. [01:34] mdg: this is a Sony VAIO, 1GB ram, 1.8 centrino, 100 GB disk. running Ubuntu 9.04 and windows [01:34] :) [01:34] robuntu: also Windows must shutdown NTFS properly or Ubuntu can't just read it [01:34] windows has Pop Peeper.. can I request sometrhging similar for Ubuntu? [01:34] I'm looking for a way to list the content of an archive [01:35] dpolancom, no problem.. If I can only get someone to help me with my own problem it would be great! [01:35] Other than installing the packages network-manager and network-manager-gnome, what do I need to do to get networking to work? Specifically, the applet reports my network devices are "not managed" [01:35] cypha: sda is your first hard disk drive [01:35] How do I get my desktop to see nfs shares? I can mount them manually but they don't show up in the network browser. [01:35] TomTommy: whats pop peeper? [01:35] robuntu: also windows hibernate/suspend does NOT count as properly shutting down windows. :) and can cause issues with ntfs under linux. [01:35] jreyes332: so i click on sda5 and choose "Edit Partition" ?? [01:35] jreyes332: and it would overheat the CPU? or is that another box [01:35] , then how did u know it was a flash drive? [01:35] fbc-mx: i just mounted them via fstab [01:35] IndyGunFreak: it allowes you to add multiple email accounts. e.g live.com. mail com your own ISP email etc, and then checks them all with 1 click.. then lets you reply etc [01:35] cypha: yes, edit it [01:36] Use as Ext3 Journaling FIle System? [01:36] I am trying to get a java chat applet on www.espanglishchat.com working using firefox on 9.04. While using sun-java6-plugin, it froze firefox completely. Now, using icedtea java plugin, it seems to load, but gives a security warning which is blank. On dismissal of this notice, after a delay, it comes up again (ad infinitum). Any ideas? [01:36] cypha: yes [01:36] IndyGunFreak: I tried evolution, but it doesnt work work with my mail.com email accounts and wont let me send using my live.com account [01:36] another problem, when i wrote: sudo -R 777 /etc/modprobe.d [01:36] i got: sudo: illegal option `-R' [01:36] IndyGunFreak: what is a solution for ubuntu? [01:36] mdg: yes, that's weird, I had rough nights installing both 8.10 and 9.04 [01:37] jreyes332: do i need a new partition table? [01:37] TomTommy: well i know there's checkgmail for Gmail.. there's another tool for Pop3 accounts.. let me find it. [01:37] dpolancom: uh sudo chmod -R 777... [01:37] dpolancom: sudo chmod, not sudo [01:37] cypha: no! that will override your current partitions [01:37] !info mailcheck | TomTommy [01:37] TomTommy: mailcheck (source: mailcheck): Check multiple mailboxes/maildirs for mail. In component universe, is extra. Version 1.91.2-2 (jaunty), package size 14 kB, installed size 84 kB [01:37] kk === pachu|i is now known as Unresolved [01:37] IndyGunFreak: checkgmail dont work for my mail.com programs whats good with Pop Peeper is that its configured aleady to work with live.com and mail.com and gmail.com etc [01:37] what's that site with all the x64 .debs again? [01:37] cypha: including windows, don't write a new table [01:38] I'm using this thing called Avant Window Manager, but it doesn't work anymore. It only shows applets i've added to the tray. I uninstalled it and installed it, but the problem persists. Can anyone help? [01:38] Dr_Willis, Yeah, I do too, but I got brain dead users that just need to do the easiest thing. [01:38] TomTommy: well i doubt you'll find one "configured already"... you'll have to set it up... i know mailcheck can be used to check pop3 and IMAP.. [01:38] IndyGunFreak: I installed mailcheck.. but its not in menu? [01:39] Dr_Willis, and for them it's opening up Places>>Network and finding the folders they need. [01:39] jreyes332: I learned the partition table lesson the hard way LOL [01:39] IndyGunFreak: will it work with live.com and mail.com accounts? [01:39] what's that site with all the x64 .debs again? [01:39] how can I install a package in Ubuntu??? [01:39] jreyes332: there's no reason to import my windows vista documents and settings right? [01:39] IndyGunFreak: I installed mailcheck.. but its not in menu? where is it? lol [01:39] TomTommy: i don't know.. i just know it works w/ pop3 and IMAP accounts.. if you have the servers for those, it shoud. [01:39] mdg: I learned the whole Ubuntu think the hard way. [01:39] because i can just share the folder? [01:39] TomTommy: open a terminal and type mailcheck [01:39] so I just installed Ubuntu, I entered all my pass into the wireless assistant, and when I restart Ubuntu, I get internet connection for maybe 2 or 3 minutes, but then it disconnects every time. I'm using the same network with same machine on windows, any ideas? [01:40] cypha: the documents no, the settings might me useful, such as firefox bookmarks and stuff [01:40] IndyGunFreak: the beauty with pop peeper is that its alrwady congifured for all those accounts.. as I dont know the settings [01:40] TomTommy: wel that could be a problem. [01:40] IndyGunFreak: is that what I have to do everythime? open console and type mailcheck? [01:40] jreyes332: i can't make firefox share the same folder? [01:40] TomTommy: well you could set it to load on startup... [01:40] TomTommy: did it start when you typed that? [01:40] IndyGunFreak: when I type "mailcheck" nothing hjappens..goes back to prompt [01:41] TomTommy: doesn't sound like the installed worked for some reason, i'm having the same prob. [01:41] IndyGunFreak: if we both have prob, then itsd a bug [01:41] Since removing the videocard from a server, x11 no longer starts and throws up errors because no devices were found, I cannot vnc in and my x11 apps aren't running (transmission) but I can ssh in. Can I change the x11 config to fix this? [01:41] probably [01:41] jreyes332: or can i do this at a later time? [01:41] cypha: not sure. I once read a tutorial about that, but you might get some compatibility issues with the addons. You might want to use Xmarks extension for syncing bookmarks, you can do this later on [01:42] IndyGunFreak: damn shame no app exists for ubuntu that does that :( [01:42] TomTommy: i have pop peeper running in wine... [01:42] it seems to work. [01:42] you'll just have to set it to load on boot (which is easy) [01:42] IndyGunFreak: i thought using wine is a security risk? [01:42] TomTommy: wellt hat i don't know... [01:42] jreyes332: it's creating two partitions...partition 5 and partition 6 (for swap0 [01:43] i guess it could be [01:43] swap) [01:43] it's ok [01:43] IndyGunFreak: thats why i havent installed wine [01:43] In my firefox plugins list, I have IcedTea java plugin and Sun java plugin. If I disable one, I disable both. If I enable one, I enable both. I have uninstalled the package sun-java6-plugin, but it's still in firefox list... [01:43] TomTommy: who told you it as a security risk [01:43] i thought i had left the swap [01:43] ok [01:43] IndyGunFreak: as I said. "I thought".. assumed [01:43] TomTommy: wine itself is not a security risk, who told you that [01:43] jreyes332: will it replace the boot loader? [01:43] cuz my current one is corrupt [01:43] there are like 15 instances of ubuntu [01:43] grub [01:43] IndyGunFreak: so I can install wine and it wont compromise my security? Becayuse I use ubuntu for netbanking etc.. I am careful [01:44] TomTommy: i dont' see why it would. [01:44] cypha: thats not nice :( calling him a grub :P [01:44] where is the sources.list file ? [01:44] cypha: it should replace it, or at least ask you if you want to [01:44] TomTommy, only if you use it to execute the .exe you get in your email [01:44] k [01:44] !unzip [01:44] Sorry, I don't know anything about unzip [01:44] Anyone know how to unzip several files in a directory? [01:44] and windows will be on that loader, right? [01:44] rohit: /etc/apt/ [01:44] fccf, thanks :) [01:44] dawdle: what would happen then? the infected .exe would infect the whole ubuntu? [01:44] automatically [01:44] cuz i once had to go through all this stuff cuz windows wasn't showing up on that [01:44] TomTommy: not really... [01:44] !enter | cypha [01:45] cypha: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [01:45] TomTommy, only if you use it to execute the .exe you get in your email <-- what would happen? Ubuntu infected? [01:45] TomTommy: the virus might partially work in Wine, but it won't infect Ubunt [01:45] u [01:45] sebastien: ok thats good :) pheew [01:45] cypha: it should include Windows too [01:45] Hello. [01:45] k, great [01:45] Since removing the videocard from a server, x11 no longer starts and throws up errors because no devices were found, I cannot vnc in and my x11 apps aren't running (transmission) but I can ssh in. Can I change the x11 config to fix this? [01:45] TomTommy: thats why i didn't really understand your security concerns.. [01:45] TomTommy, I don't think wine can access the stuff outside its 'virtual root' [01:46] dawdle: exactly [01:46] DINK_: It has no video card at all? [01:46] sebastien: the reason im using ubuntu is to avoid infections. so it would be dissapointing if an .exe can infect the whole ubuntu and have ability to :"live" on Ubuntu [01:46] dawdle: well the file manager can be told to save stuff into Wines folder and such, but I guess that's differnet [01:46] i thought wine was a bit like a "sandboxie"? is that right? [01:46] mdg, I took it out to conserve power (went from 115 watts to 65 watts) [01:46] TomTommy: not quite, it's a compatabilty layour for Windows programs [01:46] TomTommy, a standard windows virus would not work well on wine, I don't think. I suppose a virus could be written directly to target wine. But it's an unlikely audience to target, since it's unlikley you'll accidently hit a virulent file with wine. [01:46] lol [01:46] IndyGunFreak: ok cool then.. i can use pop peeper in wine [01:47] sebastien: ok thanks [01:47] TomTommy: in simple terms, it tricks many Windows programs so they work on a Linux distro [01:47] TomTommy: it would appear so.. i just started it, and it seems to be working fine.. but i've not set up acccount info, etc [01:47] TomTommy, if you want complete safety working with windows stuff, use a VM with no network connectivity. [01:47] TomTommy: well Wine is rather seperate from all other apps [01:47] dawdle: but if I never use wine to run an infected .exe it should be right anyway? [01:47] has anyone successfully set up inadyn? [01:47] TomTommy, yep. Don't run dodgy stuff. Just like windows. [01:47] dawdle: im running ubuntu as a guest now, using virtualbox [01:47] On opening the sources.list file it opens the apt sources manager ... cool I could have added the new repos through the interface... [01:47] TomTommy: only thing you may need to do, is either 1.. add it manually to the startup applications menu, so it starts on startup, or just go to app/wine/pop peeper, and started at the start of each sessioni [01:47] dawdle: yeah I hear ya [01:48] TomTommy: it should be WIndows as a guest, not Ubuntu [01:48] hello ! I'm trying to get connected via my wifi card using ndiswrapper, but when I set the command " modprobe ndiswrapper " I got this error message " FATAL: Module ndiswrapper not found. " I'm asking for help please [01:48] IndyGunFreak: yep :) thanks [01:48] TomTommy: also I expect some clever malware for Windows, could pick up on say keystrokes your putting in your Ubuntu virtual machine [01:48] sebastien: yeah but it just worked out this way :P [01:48] Gateway: you don't have ndiswrapper installed [01:49] sebastien: if I did it the other way around, I dont think I can install vista as a guest, because I only have my HP Vista Rescue DVD in 8,5GB DVD [01:49] uhm, if I run an infected program with wine, what happens? will it even work? [01:49] Gateway: what wifi card are you using? [01:49] mdg, This is the only info I've found on what I want to do: http://fixunix.com/xwindows/91663-server-running-x-without-video-card.html AND http://forums.opensuse.org/hardware/414947-running-without-graphics-card.html [01:49] TomTommy: it might work [01:49] mdg, I installed it and I verified that using the command ndiswrapper -l ... and it tells me that it's installed and the card is present [01:49] TomTommy: you could run the Windows 7 RC (release candiate) if you got enough RAM [01:49] sebastien: I read somewhere some guys tested this.. and they infected the host vista with some keyloggers, but they never detected any keystrokes in the guest Ubuntu on Virtualbox [01:50] TomTommy: that's good untill March next year, when it will start shutting itself down every 2 hours, then stop working in June [01:50] DINK_: google headless vnc ubuntu [01:50] IndyGunFreak, Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG this one :) [01:50] fccf, thanks [01:50] Windows 7 RC is pretty good ... I guess M$ improved over Vista because of Ubuntu :D [01:50] Gateway: that shouldn't need ndiswrapper.. mst intel chipsets work out of the box. [01:50] rohit: not just Ubuntu [01:50] Gateway, did you use sudo modprobe ndiswrapper? [01:50] rohit: other distros :) do compete here and there as well [01:50] sebastien: ok [01:50] rohit: also Mac's apparnatly have 10% of the market now [01:51] ctmjr, it returns an error message Fatal ... [01:51] i wish I could run ubuntu as host. and then run vista as guest [01:51] how do I build and install over an already installed program? (I'm compileing my OWN MPlayer) [01:51] Actually shouldn't Mac's dominate ? If only they were a little less expensive [01:51] rohit: Linux isn't just Ubuntu [01:51] IndyGunFreak, I'm using Debian :s [01:51] lenny [01:51] rohit: that's what I think as well, but Apple and Microsoft make deals togehter sometimes or well kind of [01:51] sebastien: so virtualbox works well on ubuntu as host? [01:51] Im having (another) upgrade problem, I'm getting the following error: file does not exist: /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/GDebi/__init__.py [01:51] rohit: I mean some Apple programs are made for Windows, just like some Microsoft programs are made for Mac OS X, oh and this stuff is off topic [01:51] sebastien: apt-get install virtualbox ? [01:51] Gateway: I have Debian Lenny on another box too [01:52] Gateway, ubuntu is not debian [01:52] Oh yeah right :P [01:52] TomTommy: sudo apt-get install virtualbox [01:52] ctmjr: isnt ubuntu based on debain? [01:52] TomTommy: there's the open source version in the repo, however that lacks USB suppourt so you get the one for linux hosts from there site instead [01:52] ctmjr: it is based off of Debian [01:52] ctmjr, hehe I know [01:52] sebastien: ok [01:52] debian is not debian [01:52] TomTommy: http://www.virtualbox.org [01:52] Yup get latest virtualbox from their site www.virtualbox.org [01:52] so what should I do to fix that problem guys ? [01:53] !debian | kabdotinfo [01:53] kabdotinfo: Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu! [01:53] how do I build and install over an already installed program? (I'm compileing my OWN MPlayer) [01:53] sebastien: i doubt my vista rescue DVD will work installing on virtualbox though.. and I cant download windows 7 as I only have small amount of data for my quota [01:53] Gateway: try asking in a debian channel ... === scfh_ is now known as scfh [01:53] sebsebseb: i didn't ask anything.. [01:53] Gateway: sudo modprobe ndiswrapper [01:53] TomTommy, what are you trying to do ? [01:53] I'm trying to get a DNS going with my Ubuntu box... I've never set one up before... Everything looks alright from the DynDNS side... but when i do a traceroute from this pc I get no reply * [01:53] crdlb, they are related lol I've just read that :p [01:53] sebastien: i wonder if there is a workaround [01:53] kabdotinfo: true, but you put debian is not debian [01:54] gartral: perhaps ? sudo apt-get remove --purge mplayer [01:54] kabdotinfo: which is nonsense, because Debian is Debian, just like a window is a window :d [01:54] then do an "lsmod" and see if it loaded [01:54] PDG1: some versions of traceroute don't work, can you ping? [01:54] rohit: i would like to install Ubuntu on my hard drive as my main OS.. then install vista as guest using virtualbox.. but the prob is.. I only have my HP Vista Rescue DVD in 8,5GB DVD [01:54] yup [01:54] TomTommy: you can dual boot, Windows and Ubuntu [01:54] sebsebseb: nothing is not nothing :) [01:54] mdg, I did that and it returns an error message FATAL: Module ndiswrapper not found. though ndiswrapper is installed [01:54] 5 times... all of them go through [01:55] kabdotinfo: maybe so, because nothing is also a word the word nothign [01:55] Gateway: what kind of computer is this? [01:55] fccf: I'm *trying* to use CheckInstall [01:55] but doesn't that just mean it's making contact with whatever server it is [01:55] mdg, Dell Precision M60 [01:55] sebastien: i tried that. but its a hassle rebooting all the time as I switch between vista and ubuntu, as I need vista to play online games, sich as BF2142 and to use x-lite to make SIP VOIP phone calls and to use MSN and video chat [01:55] Is there anyone who can give me some guidance about VNC'ing into an Ubuntu 9.04 laptop with Remote Desktop set up? I had no problems with this feature in 8.04 and 8.10, but I just haven't found a way to make it work in 9.04. [01:55] Gateway, run this in terminal and make sure you have include and .config in there if not install the kernel headers [01:55] sebastien: thats why I like virtualbox.. so easy without rebooting [01:56] I have a wireless router, and the wireless is fine, but I cannot plug in a wire and get a connection. in /etc/network/interfaces do I need to have something for eth0 to make it work? [01:56] fccf, does headless just refer to not having a monitor hooked up specifically, or not having a videocard installed? [01:56] Gateway:you typed modprobe and not modeprobe right? [01:56] I note there's nothing there for wlan0, yet it works just fine [01:56] TomTommy: yes, but Windows as a host is not a good thing really [01:56] sebastien: why not> [01:56] fccf: i got the .deb checkinstall generated, that seems to be working out [01:56] ctmjr, sorry I didn't get what you said [01:56] :s [01:56] TomTommy: ,because your install is probably not secure enough for a start [01:56] TomTommy: just like most Windows installs [01:57] sebastien: my vista does use UAC :) [01:57] Gateway, ls /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build [01:57] TomTommy: you might think your install is secure, but it's probably not that secure [01:57] sebastien: not secure in what way? [01:57] sebastien: give me some examples [01:57] TomTommy: uhmmm we are off topic [01:57] sebastien: pm me then [01:57] TomTommy: pm if you want [01:58] ctmjr, was that ` ? [01:58] Gateway: debian support is offtopic in this channel [01:58] or something else that I didn't understand [01:59] crdlb, do I have to leave ? [02:00] i dont know which java JDK to install... theres sun-java6.jdk but also default-jdk with the ubuntu logo next to it (does the logo mean its installed?) [02:00] thanks for help guys [02:00] Gateway: you don't have to leave, but you should ask questions about debian in #debian [02:00] Nautilus__: no, it means it's officially supported by canonical (I think... it might be some other level of "official") [02:01] crdlb, I thought it was the same [02:01] but thanks [02:01] Mike_lifeguard: so i should probably go with default-jdk ? [02:01] Gateway: check an "lsmod" for ndiswrapper [02:01] Hello [02:02] I need help [02:02] * IndyGunFreak thinks they will eat Gateway alive in #debian [02:02] Nautilus__: the ones with the logo are probably very stable - that's why they're marked === linux is now known as DareDevil0 [02:02] tx [02:02] I'm trying to install Apache and Php togeather (where php can run on a apache server), I tried, but it doesn't work. [02:03] Hi. I'm trying to install Jaunty on a laptop with bad hard drive sectors. I already figured out how to use mke2fs to partition around the bad sectors but the Ubuntu installer seems to want to make its own partitions as part of the installation. Is there a way to install Ubuntu using only the good parts of the hard drive? [02:03] !lamp [02:03] LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP.

I can capture video with no issue [02:11] I don't remember if I installed 64 bit or 32 bit ubuntu. How do I tell?

I haven't used Ubuntu in while, because of this and another problem (which was fixed when i discovered XChat) [02:31] What im trying to ask is if theres an option in gparted to change the drive letter or what determines what the drive letter will be the only thing i did was resize which involved decreasing ubuntu partition and making bigger windows partition [02:31] no [02:31] OvernightPR, but anyway...im not sure [02:31] at least i dont think so [02:31] one was ubuntu [02:31] PDG1: for that you'd either need to set dmz on the router or allow port 80 and whatever torrent ports through to your local IP on the router [02:31] (port forwarding) [02:32] i dont know what letter that was and the other was xp installed after ubuntu with a F: partition [02:32] limpc: okay... DMZ i can do... but I've heard that it's maybe not a good idea...? [02:32] the xp partition somehow is now C: [02:32] causing problems i think with loading [02:32] PDG1: generally its not a good idea, no. it exposes your computer to the web [02:33] or does it just expose a certain port? [02:33] so make sure you have something like shorewall or fwbuilder setup [02:33] PDG1: using port forwarding exposes only the ports you specify [02:33] Does xubuntu use much less CPU than straight ubuntu? RAM isn't a concern, but I want to speed up my Pentium-M based laptop [02:33] could I just do a port forward?

[02:40] askvictor1: ok [02:40] thiebaude: which? [02:40] then what next? [02:40] Thanks, I'm using pidgin right now, don't really care for the interface [02:40] then in the liveCD you can make a USB [02:40] (bootable USB drive) [02:40] I can run unetbootin, but it needs 7z installed [02:40] the guy who had vista and wanted to dual boot [02:40] askvictor1: do I find that under administration? [02:40] whats the proper name for C: / F: stuff [02:40] balzac: yep [02:40] like drive name or whatever [02:40] I think [02:40] i need to googlez [02:40] How can I put a limit on ressources (MEM) that a process can use? I know nice handles scheduling, but for ram? [02:41] is there anything that shows trending using data from lmsensors using the cli?

[02:41] UbuTheUbi: there are no drive names in linux [02:41] like what would 'c:' be called [02:41] sounds plausible [02:41] jreyes332: I hope you are around the next time I have problems - you did a great job :) [02:41] balzac: probably [02:41] well linux goofed my drive names well not linux but in linux [02:41] I'm pretty bent that Dell messed this up, because Ubuntu doesn't ship with the boot menu crippled [02:41] thiebaude: there was a guy who came back, but pm for details [02:41] UbuTheUbi: are you trying to access your windows drive?

[02:42] balzac: another option is to download the ubuntu netbook remix USB image and write that straight to an empty USB driv [02:42] I'm happy Dell gave the option of Ubuntu preinstalled, but the messed up the boot loader [02:42] well gparted switched the drive name from f: <-- which was weird but i loaded windows after ubuntu to C: [02:42] jreyes332: to learn! [02:42] now windows wont start [02:42] all i did was resize [02:42] at first ubuntu was bigger now windows is bigger [02:42] askvictor1: I'm not inclined to use the netbook remix, because I prefer standard Gnome Desktop [02:42] OvernightPR, I'll try it, but i wont like it [02:42] Just installed Jaunty desktop on a Thinkpad T30... WPA is not an option in the wireless connection dialog [02:42] jreyes332: I actually downloaded a distro called INX (console) only with some tutorials about CLI to learn [02:42] thanks for your suggestions, askvictor1 [02:43] balzac: but you can use that for the installer, then install ubuntu-desktop afterwards [02:43] mdg: hey, does DSL use rpms, debs or you have to compile everything? [02:43] askvictor1: she's already downloaded ubuntu jaunty desktop standard [02:43] hi all... I have a laptop where I attached an external montior. in principle, both screens are recognized correctly, but the fonts are too large etc. I want to change the DPI, and I understnad I have to do this in the xorg.conf. But Since the two screens have different sizes, I assume I have to do that for the two screens differently? Do I have to define two display adapters for that too?

[02:51] balzac: yes [02:51] they have different file-systems [02:51] askvictor1: Odd, couldn't it just wait until more memory were free?

[02:52] good luck, trohs [02:52] ryanakca: true.

[02:52] balzac: ok, thanks anyway [02:53] trohs: I think it should work if you just point the bittorrent clients to the same download path [02:53] try it and report back to us! [02:53] askvictor1: it doesn't, I've already tried [02:53] bugger [02:53] ed2ef, it recognizes the usb device... but my directions says to unplug it before doing the modprobe.. [02:53] trohs: try a different client? [02:54] you using the same client in windows and linux?

[02:55] ed2ef, it works fine on one laptop.... but i'm not sure why the second doesn't have the module.. [02:55] trohs: I've managed to start a torrent in one client, and finish it using a different client, just by pointing the downloads dir to the same place. Try Vuze perhaps - that's multi-platform [02:55] open a terminal, and type "sudo modprobe -l | grep usbserial" [02:56] if returns the module, probably a config problem [02:56] hi.

[04:12] mib_sctaruw9: the Linux firewall is probably faster, and lighter, and the chipset, that shouldn't need any special drivers, devices attached to the chipset need drivers, does your bluetooth/lan/wan all work? [04:12] ziroday: require hard boot [04:13] taylor_: after a hard reboot I would take down the time and take a peek in /var/log/messages for any warnings/errors at that time.

[04:27] ciberglo, so you tried to install the ubuntu-desktop and it failed? and then you tried again and it worked but still no desktop? === diomedesuser is now known as diomedesuser` [04:28] cabrey: Do you mean physical destruction or just software destruction? [04:28] [ctmjr]: yeap. tryed, but didn't failed (just stop running the install of the "hal*"something, and i noticed that and stopped with CTRL + C) [04:28] mib_sctaruw9, software, but still [04:28] fccf -> i cant use the newest nvidia drivers as they dont support an fx5200 [04:28] [ctmjr]: than i tryed to install again, but nothing was installed, it showed me that ubuntu-desktop was already installed, so iI did a --reinstall, but still didn't work [04:29] [ctmjr]: was I clear?

[04:33] cabrey: How can i install it? [04:33] mib_sctaruw9: you dont want to... trust me [04:33] fccf -> apt-cache search nvidia-glx-new brings up nothing [04:33] gartral, an additional point why [s]he doesn't need it === elarson__ is now known as elarson_ [04:34] mib_sctaruw9, the only thing you would need is the nvidia proprietary driver & I'm assuming you have it [04:34] Or is there anything I need to install first to get certain pdf files to work?

[04:35] StevensUbuntuTri: no, you should be able to read pdf's np [04:35] cabrey: Instructions pal.. please [04:35] mib_sctaruw9, the only thing I would support is the installation of proprietary applications, there is just no need for this 3 year old package [04:36] cabrey: How can I install the chipset driver? [04:36] wtf. the .RAR format isn't supported? [04:36] Justin-, apt-get install unrar [04:36] ah, much thanks [04:36] mib_sctaruw9: you're not listening... you dont want too, I can almost gaurentee these drivers will BREAK your computer! [04:37] Justin-: or you can use 7z also [04:37] Jeruvy: My company sends me report and they don't display properly. I can look at any other pdf file just fine, except for these [04:37] i'd rather use 7z imo. is there a cmd for that? [04:37] mib_sctaruw9, fine I give up, did you d/l the driver zip? [04:37] jeffrey1790: sorry I'm running LTS for a reason... it's reccommended over jaunty for mission critical apps - if it isn't packaged for jaunty - not my fault [04:37] StevensUbuntuTri: that could be due to adobe vs. the world differences. I've encountered a couple also that don't display well without adobe. [04:37] Justin-: try Ark [04:38] meh [04:38] Jeruvy: Is there something I can install to remedy this? [04:38] Justin-, installing unrar will enable gnome's archive manager to use that format [04:38] fccf -> crap. :( [04:38] i'm going to use unrar because i have the command used to install it :P [04:38] ciberglo, you might try this "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" it might work but i do not have much faith [04:38] ah, okay then [04:39] can someone point me to a how-to explaining how to mount an iso and copy it's contents to the hard drive? thanks.... [04:39] StevensUbuntuTri: you can try adobe reader for linux [04:39] [ctmjr]: thanks ctmjr, I will try that. thks too much [04:39] Geoffrey2, right click on ISO -> open with archive mounter [04:39] i installed ebox but where can i find a program to allow people to upload files to their directory via web page [04:40] !iso [04:40] To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning.

I'm trying to mount a .cue/.bin image to a virtual drive. how can i do this? [04:40] cabrey: Yes I downloaded it, but the installation seems too creepy... [04:41] since .cue and .bin aren't supported with the manager [04:41] jeffrey1790: you forced a earlier version of nvidia ... why not try an earlier version of nvidia-glx-new .. it might work yet it might require an eirlier version of the xorg [04:41] justin: i tried that, i couldn't get it going, and i spent hours working on it [04:41] Justin-, I'm not positive, but I don't think you can mount cue/bin's because they work in conjunction with each other [04:41] Justin- convert to iso first [04:41] great =/ [04:42] trying a bunch of different image mounting tools to see if i could get the equivalent of what alcohol 120% does in windows [04:42] hey! how can i boot from a sata drive hooked up to a pci card that doesn't have a boot rom? [04:42] hi, i have two partitions, one has windows os and the other ubuntu.. is it possible to split either of the two? i'm need like 20gb again [04:42] yeah you gotta convert to iso from cue & bin [04:42] yeah, i use daemon. i need it for a PC game i'm trying to run in wine [04:42] Justin- http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-convert-bincue-files-to-iso-in-ubuntu.html [04:42] k [04:42] yeah exactly. though i didn't try running daemon-tools in wine [04:42] Justin-: wine is a waste of time honestly [04:42] but i doubt that'd work as expected [04:42] anyone? :D [04:42] no way! wine's awesome [04:42] fccf -> guess i could try 96.43.10-0ubuntu1 [04:43] cryptide, it's better than nothing =/ [04:43] i got a ton of apps working nearly flawlessly in wine and this install is only a couple days old [04:43] Justin-: i just run xp pro in a virtual box [04:43] same [04:43] virtualbox > wine [04:43] i don't have enough RAM for all that [04:43] !appdb [04:43] The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [04:43] anyone? anyone? lol [04:43] Justin-: uh ram is cheap as fuck [04:43] how fast is virtualbox for games/apps though? [04:43] !details | dsdeiz [04:43] dsdeiz: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [04:44] i installed ebox but where can i find a program to allow people to upload files to their directory via web page [04:44] jeffrey1790: I'd reccommend looking at it"s webpage to see what dep's are - check for conflicts [04:44] hi, i have two partitions, one has windows os and the other ubuntu.. is it possible to split either of the two? i'm need like 20gb again [04:44] KNY: virtualbox = fail wine = faster than virtual environment [04:44] like basically winamp in wine runs about as fast as it does in windows [04:44] and i got it playing movies and everything too [04:44] cryptide, don't feel like buying any for this old computer. so i'm going to get things working in wine. it's my last hope [04:44] if wine can't run adobe photoshop 7 6 years after the release there is a problem [04:44] cryptide, it can even run CS2 beautifully [04:44] cryptide, the problem is you not submitting patches ;-) [04:45] cabrey, what's supposed to happen when I do that? I see a drive icon now, but clicking on that opens an essentially blank window [04:45] I thought it was able to run CS2 and CS3 [04:45] only bug i haven't fixed yet is that when you drag it offscreen the window disappears; i don't want to make the config file that would prevent that read-only to fix it [04:45] whats the xubuntu equivlent to archive manager? [04:45] !info file-roller [04:45] Geoffrey2, hmm that does sometimes happen. you can use the way ubottu explains [04:45] file-roller (source: file-roller): an archive manager for GNOME.

HDR photography and panoramic stitching with Hugin Panoramic and Qtpfsgui.. [04:47] Jack_Sparrow, i cannot play any video its just choppy [04:47] why is it that you shouldn't run any program or daemon as root, but you have to be root to mount a cd iso? and how do burning apps mount the iso to copy it without root access? [04:48] Lugner ati? [04:48] i got geforce 9300 [04:48] with 180 drivers [04:48] on intrepid everything was fine [04:48] Lugner k, how did you install the drivers and flash [04:48] cabrey: how ancient? [04:48] ok, so what's the deal with firefox slowing down after several hours on Jaunty? Is this a memory leak? I kill it then rerun it and then it works okay again. renice'ing it helps but eventually it has to die. Any thoughts on fixing firefox to a certain memory size?

[04:50] Geoffrey2, that shouldn't matter, just a different of size [04:50] gartral, I get it to work just fine, and I have 256mb of ram ;) You might try to reload the ubuntu restricted drivers and non-free flash player via aptitude or synaptic [04:50] cryptide, not all the time, but ubuntu sticks with stable releases of wine and it took 15 years just to get to 1.0 [04:51] how long intrepid will get updates becosue i think i will back to it cosue now my htpc cannot play any video lol [04:51] !8.10 [04:51] Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) was the ninth release of Ubuntu.

I have a bunch of add-ons for example, NoScript and a flash one that manage if the video plays. Check the addons maybe? [04:53] yeh [04:53] cryptide, you think i'll be able to run vbox w/ 356mb of RAM? [04:53] no? =/ [04:53] ouch, 356mb?

Although firefox may be tapping into something that KDE and Gnome based browsers that you've tried are not. [05:01] Geoffrey2, you can navigate there by going to Place > Computer > Filesystem > mnt > windows [05:02] cabrey, which [05:02] alesan, yes and believe it not it is called sound recorder [05:02] i got kicked from ubuntu-offtopic. can i go offtopic here as a last resort?

[05:02] cabrey nothing special. [05:02] cabrey, ok, done...how do I make sure I'm grabbing everything? [05:03] darlek: what core is that? [05:03] I can recite the 2 actual definations - of ubuntu - but that would be offtopic as in #ubuntu-offtopic [05:03] Geoffrey2, select all (Ctrl-A) should be good enough [05:03] istehlulz, i can join :P [05:03] bleh got dc'd [05:03] stupid telus =[ [05:03] gartral, same GTK+ as firefox/galeon etc [05:03] ctmjr, cabrey do you have the name of the executable? I am not using gnome [05:03] hey Justin- :D [05:03] darlek: gecko webkit, pynet? [05:03] gartral, just much lower memory usage, so it runs faster. Based on Ruby scripting, which i like [05:04] alesan, gnome-sound-recorder [05:04] darlek: whats the rendering core? [05:04] gartral, not sure but I'll guess gecko since that's mozilla-ish [05:04] cabrey, thanks, found [05:04] darlek: whats the name again?

[05:10] LordXavier, you can use a traditional make install system, then have checkinstall do the rest for you [05:10] shall we get an ops attention? [05:10] i'm on 32bit system making for a package that consist only perl script [05:10] !worksforme | skip_kin [05:10] skip_kin: Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ [05:11] y7; what version of ubuntu are you using? [05:12] cabrey, i tried using dh-make, and change the rules for binary-indep, but it still produce i386 package [05:12] FrozenFire? [05:12] if you're using gnome, you can just click the black terminal-looking icon on the top bar (right side) [05:12] darlek, i killed it, but it's relaunched [05:12] anyone know of a high res imagedump? im talking files between 3 and 35 megabytes in size, for temp hosting [05:12] darlek, it doesn't work better [05:12] x [05:12] LordXavier, well try #debian, they can probably help you out with making debs [05:12] <``y7> loof__: one second, let me see [05:12] gartral: omploader [05:12] <``y7> loof__: ubuntu-8.10-desktop-amd64.iso [05:12] DigitalKiwi: wheres the site? [05:12] you can choose edit connections, in the "wired" section it should say auto eth0 and you can select that and hit edit [05:13] cabrey, owh.. ok.. will do. thanks [05:13] maxagaz, try killall nautilus and see if that works [05:13] loof, so can u gimme some clue how to fix this tardet video problem ? [05:13] omploader.org [05:13] make sure it's dhcp (far right under ipv4) [05:13] there is a ruby script to upload to it too [05:13] How can I get firefox to use US English spell-checking instead of British English? [05:13] arch has it, I can get it for you if ubuntu doesn't [05:13] I have an ISO I downloaded and copied to a hd partition, it looks like I need syslinux to make the partition bootable? [05:13] !lkl [05:13] Sorry, I don't know anything about lkl [05:13] y7 ahh i'm using 9.04, not sure if the network connection util is the same === SirDerigo is now known as galimatias [05:13] it's called ompload [05:14] skip_kin: care to examine your logs? make it happen again andnote the time - then post any errors found to pastebin [05:14] lugner: what kind of video hardware do you have on your htpc? i think i missed your reply === SirDerigo is now known as galimatias [05:14] is there something like winhex for ubuntu? [05:15] Geoffrey2, what's the ISO? if it's just a collection of files you can mount it in ubuntu. Only if you need to boot from the ISO something else is needed [05:15] Could someone help me with sound drivers (Realtek ALC889A) === goose is now known as DogFishHead [05:15] fccf:I I checked some other sites for emacs bugs but nothing like what I'm seeing. I have machine with 8.1 that it works with. Seems unique to 9.0.4 though. [05:15] asus p5n7a-vm geforce nvidia 9300 full hd [05:15] darlek: that browser isnt put into my menus, what the heck [05:15] darlek, real simple, it's the Window 7 release candidate, so it definitely needs to be bootable...... [05:15] this is best posible mobo for htpc [05:16] Geoffrey2, oh the horror [05:16] cabrey, mine is a thinkpad === DogFishHead is now known as goose [05:16] qriva, ghex [05:16] what is yours? [05:16] darlek, hey, it's free, and I've got the hard drive space, I figured I'd install it and see what it looks like..... [05:16] anyone who could help me with sounddrivers? [05:16] Geoffrey2: in the time (over 24 hours?) you've spent trying to do this you could have gone out and earned enough money to buy a dvd burner >.> [05:17] and loof like i say i dont have any problems in games just in movies i can easy run savage 2 on full details [05:17] Geoffrey2, you don't need to mount it. burn it in brasero or k3b [05:17] Forger7, you need to state whats wrong with your sound. [05:17] and got 45-50 fps [05:17] when i try to build the nvidia kernel module, module assistant says that nvidia-kernel-source is not installed. apt says that that is a virtual package provided by nvidia-180-kernel-source which i have installed. what is the problem? [05:17] lugner: did you install the nvidia restricted drivers? [05:17] loof, yes 180 [05:17] i try already 17* i try kernel 2.6.30 2.6.29 [05:18] ctmjr I'm new to linux: I finally got my WLAN Device working but now I have no idea how to get sound. I got an Realtek ALC889A Sound Card [05:18] y7: try some of the tips here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=991981 [05:18] and its not help at all [05:18] those are unsupported kernels? [05:18] gartral: does that suffice? [05:18] DigitalKiwi, given the many hours so far that I've put into figuring out linux instead of just sticking to windows, I don't want to hear about it.... :) [05:18] Geoffrey2, what is the boot loader currently? grub? I think there's a way to boot an iso with grub, but someone else or a google search will know for sure [05:18] darlek: i cant find the browser in my menus, how do i put it there? [05:18] dakarn2, this are ubuntu kernels [05:18] DigitalKiwi: i dont know yet, firefox keeps crashing my X [05:19] Forger7, just the one sound card on jaunty 9.04 [05:19] lugner: did you install any video codecs? [05:19] :/ === galimatias is now known as SirDerigo [05:19] ctmjr, yeah [05:19] i'm behind in the times [05:19] i would install mplayer [05:19] loof, w32 and totems [05:19] is there a "winhex" for ubuntu -- i want to dump part of my RAM [05:19] <``y7> loof__: ty [05:19] loof, i try mplayer smplayer totem whatever [05:20] loof, it even slowing down flash videos [05:20] bastidrazor, sure, if you have a DVD burner, I don't.... [05:20] gartral, that's strange... click Applications then ADD/Remove, then click on Internet. Under Show, make sure kazehakase is checkmarked (or wherever it ended up ;) [05:20] lugner: try installing boxee [05:20] Forger7, open a terminal and type aplay -l [05:20] gartral: if you ever find out if ompload will work and want the script to upload from command line just pm me [05:20] loof, i got old home tho i got to much settings and this can be problem [05:20] oki [05:20] the boxee installer updates a ton of the video codecs/flash content [05:21] DigitalKiwi, is it a ruby script? [05:21] ctmjr, it says something like no soundcards found [05:21] if you're running compiz then you have to turn settings off in compiz to make full screen flash content less laggy [05:21] loof, no boxee in repo [05:21] darlek: i installed from terminal [05:21] Geoffrey2, you should be asking in #windows since you're trying to install windows [05:21] loof, i dont run compiz compiz sux [05:21] darlek: yeah [05:21] does ubuntu have it packaged? [05:21] lugner: get boxee from their site they have directions on adding it to the repo [05:21] Forger7, ok hold on sec [05:22] loof, i even try with openbox vm not metacity and same [05:22] ctmjr ok [05:22] ok loof [05:22] http://www.boxee.tv/ [05:22] is there anyway I can upscale a DVD iso to HD? [05:22] you have to register but it's free, it's basically a flash-based video/content app based on xbmc, it's WAY slick [05:23] gartral, so did I but I have it in the menus. Try Applications, Other, Menu Editor?? [05:23] ichsan [05:23] darlek: I only have gdebi under other [05:24] Forger7, type lspci | grep Audio [05:24] ctmjr: 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) HD Audio Controller [05:24] teethdood are you trying to upscale it while playing it back or transcode (reencode the dvd to a 1080p file for later playback)? [05:24] if I have a command like: sudo /sbin/insmod rt2870.ko, where should it/can it be placed to load at boot time? [05:25] rallEy4, /etc/modules [05:25] rallEy4: for that, edit /etc/modules to include rt2870 [05:25] loof_, I want to upscale it while playing back [05:25] gartral, System Preferences Main Menu and then click Internet to add the browser there. In terminal type whereis kazehakase and it'll give you the exact location for this section [05:25] rallEy4, actually you haven't installed it have you? [05:25] okay, thanks [05:25] loof, wow 64 mega download lol [05:25] Hello all I was wondering how can I make ubuntu rescan for new hardware without rebootin? [05:26] well, yes. but every time I reboot, the network doesn't show. [05:26] loof, anyway i need use smplayer cosue i use subtitles [05:26] teethdood what kind of hardware are you running? it makes a difference, if your hardware can't handle it you're S.O.L [05:26] somethingliketha, is it a USB device? just unplug and replug in [05:26] rallEy4, i mean it isn't in /usr/lib/modules/`uname -r`/etc [05:26] cabrey: not that I know of... [05:26] no pcmicia card [05:26] or whatever its called the removeable laptop card [05:26] rallEy4, what i'm trying to say is where is the actual rt2870.ko file [05:27] cabrey: I just figured you how to get the thing working yesterday, and I noticed this morning that I have to run that command to get it to work. [05:27] loof, intel duo 1.8ghz. I will get a new box soon, just curious if it can be done [05:27] cabrey: Oh, it's in my home still [05:27] cabrey: that was my other question :) [05:27] lugner: just install boxee, and try that. it's really really slick and might fix your video playback issues in your other apps, if it doesn't you can at least use boxee by itself (it's the slickest media center/htpc app i've used) [05:27] darlek: man, why do they have to pick wierd names for things, i cant remember the name of that browser to save my life [05:27] Does anyone know in Ubuntu 9.04 how to read /dev/mem? I'm getting a permission denied [05:27] rallEy4, ok thats what i need to know :) you have to install it correctly before it can go in /etc/modules [05:27] I'm running winhex from wine, but wine wont let me run sudo wine my.exe [05:27] somethingliketha, same thing, I do that with my wireless card. from terminal run dmesg |tail and you should see a notice that Ubuntu saw the card unload. Then put back in to see if Ubuntu sees the card again. [05:27] is there anything what will make it rescan for hw changes? [05:28] oops had to scroll down n00b [05:28] cabrey: well, I have a readme file that has instructions, and I thought that by following them it would "install it correctly". [05:28] teeth: you won't be able to upscale to 1080p on that hardware unless you're using a geforce that supports VDAPU [05:28] so like i think 7000/8000 series + geforce cards only [05:29] rallEy4, you can install it by moving it to /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net [05:29] rallEy4, it is a network driver, right? [05:29] cabrey: okay, and yes. [05:30] Is there a way to get ubuntu in a higher resolution the 800x600 in VirtualBox? [05:30] WB2Colorado, IN virtualbox? [05:30] Yes [05:30] WB2Colorado, install the additions [05:30] cabrey: so, does the .ko generally denote a driver file as such? [05:31] loof, so a cheap $80 DVD player can upconvert a DVD to "HD" while a PC can't? [05:31] Forger7, i cannot find my notes for that but i found this it might help http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449 [05:31] rallEy4, not exactly. it is a kernel module. and kernel modules can do many things. [05:31] cabrey: ahh [05:31] I typed dmesg and it brings up alot of stuff but not one of them is the card. [05:31] gartral, kazehakase... actually it's a joke in Japanese.. kaze is wind, and kase is something I haven't quite figured out yet ;) [05:31] rallEy4, you have to keep in mind that every time the kernel is updated, you must reinstall it [05:31] ctmjr, ok i will try [05:31] teeth: not a several year old pc, nope =[ [05:32] the dvd player has a hardware chip dedicated to just upscaling [05:32] cabrey: righto [05:32] does it automatically scan but just fails for some reason? [05:32] cabrey: thanks for the help [05:32] video cards only more recently have the ability to upscale to 1080p [05:32] rallEy4, remember after installing it to list it in /etc/modules on a new line without the ko part === dede is now known as farah [05:33] cabrey: k [05:33] somethingliketha, dmesg will display all messages since the ubuntu started. By typing dmesg | tail in a terminal window, I can see only the latest changes in the device messages. Thus as you unplug the pc card, there should be a message, as well as when you add it back. [05:33] when I put in the wireless card it does not detect it and nothing lights up. [05:33] <[t0rc]> anyone really love the benefits of ext4 versus ext3? [05:33] loof, so it's a matter of hardware, not software? darn [05:34] darlek tried it but the only thing that comes up is my touchpad being disables and reenabled [05:34] [t0rc], yes, much faster [05:34] its only 2 lines long now [05:34] where can i find some shit like buld essentials for fedora? [05:34] basically, yep. if you've got the hardware that's capable (cpu power) you can brute force it with a multithreaded-cpu version of ffmpeg, otherwise you need to have a video card that can accelerate the video upscaling process.

[05:49] darlek, i knew it, linksys is known for its proprietariness (is that a word?) [05:49] huh? [05:49] does anybody know why setting toolbar_detachable in gconf no longer seems to work? === charles__ is now known as thebackwash [05:50] the problem with linksys is they update hardware about once a week, so when you buy it, the linux driver is like 40 revisions behind the chip they put into it. [05:50] how do i make it root? [05:50] cabrey... it is now ;) [05:50] BaseBallBoy: sudo chown root.root /usr/local/bin/ [05:50] menubar_detachable doesn't work either, but menus_have_tearoff works in some apps [05:50] BaseBallBoy: also, sudo chown a+rx /usr/local/bin/ [05:51] darlek: still freezes [05:52] is it expected for it to use 100% of my cpu while transferring a file from a non-lvm fs to a lvm fs? [05:52] darlek: im suspecting an issue with gecko on sse-only cpus [05:52] gartral, so the browser itself runs, pages load etc, but the flash freezes, is that right? [05:52] sse? [05:52] darlek: flash causes X to freex, no mouse, no keyboard... and alt-sys rq-k is the only remody, not even zap works [05:52] chown: invalid user: `a+rx' [05:52] freeze [05:52] BaseBallBoy: oops. that should be chmod [05:53] BaseBallBoy: you also might want to check if /usr/local/bin is in your $PATH (echo $PATH) [05:53] lstarnes, saw that coming [05:53] gartral: 64-bit intrepid? [05:53] <[t0rc]> I'm going to do a fresh install of 9.04, from a previous install. are there any suggestions for migrating things or just usual copy your home, re-install the apps you used? [05:53] Myrtti: 32 jaunty [05:53] gartral: bummer [05:53] [t0rc], i usually wipe over everything then realize how much data i just lost [05:53] Myrtti: 1.7 ghz celeron CPu, hardware circa 2003 [05:54] <[t0rc]> cabrey, lol [05:54] <[t0rc]> cabrey, isn't that the best way? [05:54] now how do i make it excutable? [05:54] im back derek [05:54] [t0rc], yup :) no really most of my stuff is backed up [05:54] neither card is working but both are detected by ndis [05:54] im really getting pissed off, cause flash didnt work in intrepif either [05:54] <[t0rc]> cabrey, yeah I get ya. [05:54] excuse my languade [05:54] somethingliketha, hmm run lsmod in the terminal [05:54] gartral; how doesn't flash work? [05:54] BaseBallBoy: the chmod a+rx made it readable and executable for everyone [05:54] language\ [05:55] then why cant i run it? [05:55] k [05:55] or even how do i run it? [05:55] BaseBallBoy: whan happens when you try to run it? [05:55] what do you need from it [05:55] BaseBallBoy: just type its name [05:55] loof for the 50th time today, using ANY flash causes X to hang, alt-sys rq-k is the only usfull function [05:55] loof, he get's freezes during flash playback that take down X [05:55] somethingliketha, the output, use !pastebinit [05:55] !pastebinit [05:55] 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 [05:55] hey everyone... I am new to Ubuntu and linux in general. I am a osX user. I just installed this and tweaked the interface a bit.... How long have you been using Ubuntu or linux? [05:55] BaseBallBoy: like if it is /usr/local/bin/foo, just type foo in the terminal [05:55] ah [05:55] what video card are you using? [05:56] loof: and i have 512 mb ddr memory, a 1.7 ghz cpu, and an nvidia 6200 [05:56] <[t0rc]> couple years lightly [05:56] http://pastebin.com/m4d0332b8 [05:56] an X freeze like that is likely driver related not cpu or flash unless it's throttling at 100% [05:56] I am trying to use record my desktop but want to record the sound from the output, not the microphone... within the advanced properties of recordmydesktop I have an option for Device, which states DEFAULT, what would I put in there to specify this? [05:56] good to know [05:56] @UBUNTUBOX. I have been using only linux as my only OS for just over a year [05:56] BaseBallBoy: it shouldn't have a space in its filename [05:56] http://pastebin.com/m795ee743 [05:56] loof: CPU does hang at 100% (this cpu has two mode; "OMG work to be done! throw everything at it!" and "Off" [05:57] i tyoed [05:57] UbuntuBox, sorry, but !ot [05:57] did you get it derek http://pastebin.com/m795ee743 [05:57] gartral: i'm assuming you're using the latest nvidia restricted drivers? and have checked that there's no conflicting driver files? [05:57] 'hello world' [05:57] I actually like it a lot. I am learning how to install this and such but I really like the idea of open source... [05:57] loof: yes, of course [05:57] I want to update my sources to include a package from launchpad, my question is how do I import the proper gpg key. I already have the repositoy setup in apt-sources [05:57] BaseBallBoy: is that a c source file? [05:57] it is fre elike in dont oay and free as in free speech [05:57] C++ [05:57] how do i type so it shows the persons name in front ? [05:57] if the cpu is hanging at 100%, what thread's the one that's running to 100%? [05:57] somethingliketha, ok that means ndiswrapper is loaded and working [05:57] BaseBallBoy: you are doing this wrong [05:57] !tab [05:57] !tab | somethingliketha [05:57] You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [05:57] somethingliketha: please see above [05:57] BaseBallBoy: just rename it to hello_world to make your life easier. [05:57] loof: all that are running [05:57] UbuntuBox, #ubuntu-offtopic [05:58] BaseBallBoy: move it out of /usr/local/bin and put it in a local directory as a .cpp file [05:58] jwfoxjr: doesn't the launchpad page tell you how? [05:58] gartral: that doesn't make sense [05:58] BaseBallBoy: (by local directory, I mean one in your home) [05:58] BaseBallBoy: then compile it using g++ [05:58] loof: *anything* i rum is either %100 or %0 [05:58] guys, something really really weird is happening with my terminal... im using gnome-terminal and i just installed gnome-do. for some reason (occurs randomly) i will type something like "cd /home/user/folder/name" and only "/home/user/folder/na" will appear. BUT when i hit enter it shows what i originally typed its as if the character is just disappearing somehow [05:58] gartral: you're saying that when you run flash, every single executable goes to 100%? [05:58] BaseBallBoy: ou can then execute the binary from it using ./binary-name [05:58] *you [05:58] exaile or banshee [05:58] somethingliketha, start typing the name then hit tab and the chat will autocomplete the name. I haven't typed out your name the whole time [05:58] !best | ArkoldThos [05:58] gartral: that's messed, you need to reinstall :S [05:58] !best | ArkoldThos [05:58] ArkoldThos: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [05:58] loof: no, that's "standard" even for just xmms [05:59] how can i install conky in ubuntu? [05:59] id also like to note that this only happens in the terminal and JUST started happening [05:59] blackfox86, sudo aptitude install conky === mcasadevall is now known as NCommander [05:59] BaseBallBoy: unless it's an actual program that does something useful and it needs to be accessible to all users, it shouldn't be in /usr/local/bin [05:59] best for large libraries (as 35k+ songs), that support random songs. not amarok please [05:59] darlek, ok thanks [05:59] I have just a quick question. I wanted to shrink my ubuntu partition to make room for a dual boot with openSUSE/and Ubuntu. Now I was going to use garted, but shoudl I use the live CD or can I do the partition change while in ubuntu? [06:00] my single core athlon i have in the other room has 9.04 installed on it and flash works fine, it's around the same clockspeed, so there must be something messed with your install if you're saying any app whatsoever throttles your cpu at 100% [06:00] Dulak: anything I need to do after editing my ~/.basrc or 'it just works'? [06:00] ArkoldThos: try both. [06:00] dittykong, live cd [06:00] so; occasionally smooth scrolling in firefox and gvim becomes *insanely* slow. only happens in some fx tabs and some gvim instances, but a flick of the mouse wheel in an fx tab or a gvim prompt about an existing swap file while it's being grumpy can make my machine nearly unresponsive for a good few minutes while it scroll glacially. and then after a while it goes away. ideas? jaunty, gnome, compiz, nvidia 180 drivers [06:00] BaseBallBoy: a c or c++ source file can't be executed, but an executable binary file can be made by compiling the source file [06:00] loof: if i run things as root, it will use proper CPU usage, but just as user, its like the CPU is a light bulb, eith "On" or "Off" [06:00] I have read that ubuntu 9.04 drivers for integrated intel video adapters are not that good. Is this why my desktop effects cannot be turned on? [06:00] Eevee, firefox for linux is an embarrassment for the open source community, use a different browser [06:00] Myrtti, takes too many time reading the collection so that could time many hours :) and well, people opinion could be good [06:00] before if i restarted the computer the pc card would always work and the internal one would work on occasion. but now neither works [06:00] how do i compile it using g++? [06:01] @ ubuntubox, use a program called compiz-check. it worked for me [06:01] cabrey: that doesn't explain why other apps like gvim also have the same problem [06:01] ArkoldThos: as the bot said, this isn't a place for polls [06:01] !intel | UbuntuBox [06:01] UbuntuBox: 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. [06:01] BaseBallBoy: g++ -o binary-name source.cpp [06:01] Eevee, hmm graphics card? [06:01] ok started ndis and it gives me an error "unable to see if hardware is present" [06:01] you can find compiz-check here http://forlong.blogage.de/entries/pages/Compiz-Check [06:01] BaseBallBoy: also, you need the build-essential package installed before you can compile [06:01] cabrey: 8800 GTS [06:01] somethingliketha, sudo rmmod ndiswrapper [06:02] and "could not find configuration tool" [06:02] k [06:02] Myrtti, it isn't a poll, just want to know what can handle many songs and random songs, is like saying what application does x and y thing [06:02] somethingliketha, sudo modprobe ndiiswrapper, then dmesg | tail | pastebinit [06:02] CodeImp: doom builder CodeImp? [06:02] somethingliketha, sudo modprobe ndiswrapper [06:02] somethingliketha, spelling error ;) [06:03] Eevee, you have installed nvidia's drivers? [06:03] how do i build-essential package installed before you can compile [06:03] are there any known bugs with gnome-do related to the terminal/ [06:03] ArkoldThos: exaile, banshee, listen, mpd, rhythmbox... [06:03] loof: anyway... all i want t do is watch 1 frigging video... and every browser i try has failed... miserably [06:03] BaseBallBoy: sudo apt-get install build-essential [06:03] BaseBallBoy, sudo aptitude install build-essential [06:03] heh yea Eevee [06:03] either works [06:03] how to run conky? [06:03] loof: may not help that im trying to use teansparency for window decos [06:04] BaseBallBoy, either one is okay ;) [06:04] cabrey: yes, nvidia-glx-180 installed and active [06:04] http://pastebin.com/m61ea28d5 [06:04] CodeImp: cool, hi! where's the linux version :P [06:04] i am talking to a bot right? [06:04] Eevee, are these the only apps with 'slowness'? [06:04] BaseBallBoy, no... [06:04] wheres the linux programmer? [06:04] BaseBallBoy: you aren't (unless you're talking to ubottu) [06:04] ahh [06:04] k [06:04] cabrey: only ones I've noticed, but it's very sporadic and they are the apps I scroll in most often by far [06:04] its open source you know [06:04] darlek http://pastebin.com/m61ea28d5 [06:04] just checking [06:04] someone offered me an upload script for an imagebin, who was it again?" [06:04] i actually installed the xorg driver last night then upon restarts ubuntu would hang after login credentials were entered [06:05] CodeImp: it's VB isn't it? I hacked on it a bit a long time ago [06:05] sudo aptitude install build-essential i used this one and it is done now what? [06:05] VB? no that was doom builder 1 [06:05] BaseBallBoy, nope! ubottu is the bot on this board and has "factoids" for common questions, see !ubottu | BaseBallBoy [06:05] what's 2? [06:05] C# [06:05] BaseBallBoy: now try compiling [06:05] how to compile again? [06:06] how to remove java completely from Ubuntu 9.04 [06:06] so my options are mono or port entirely :( [06:06] BaseBallBoy: g++ -o binary-file source-file.cpp [06:06] Ajit, which jre do you havev? [06:06] it wont run on mono [06:06] BaseBallBoy: after that, try ./binary-file [06:06] JRE 6 [06:06] Ajit i use synaptic [06:06] so my options are port entirely [06:06] but a port could be made [06:06] Ajit, I meant open source, sun's or iced tea, etc? [06:06] would have to take out directx and replace it with opengl [06:07] Ajit have you tried synaptic? [06:07] so in this case g++ -o binary-file hello_world.cpp ??? [06:07] wonder how feasible, say, C♯ -> python is [06:07] gartral: can you screenshot the output from TOP and DMSG when your cpu starts going to 100%? and link it here? [06:07] cabrey: open source (it crashed so I want to install jre 5) [06:07] BaseBallBoy: replace binary-file with the name of the executable that you want to make, like hello_world [06:07] and maybe some rewrite of the interface windows, because mono's support on those lacks [06:07] somethingliketha:yes [06:08] somethingliketha: I want to use commands [06:08] loof: if i can ever get a web browser to stay freaking stable enough, sure! [06:08] cabrey, redirecting somethingliketha post: http://pastebin.com/m61ea28d5 [06:09] Ajit, sudo aptitude remove openjdk-6-jre [06:09] Ajit how about apt-get remove [06:09] ok i did ./hello_world but should there not be a client type deal when i hit enter? [06:09] what cabrey said [06:09] BaseBallBoy: what does it do when you print enter? [06:09] somethingliketha, that looks like a drive conflict... [06:09] *hit [06:09] hmm [06:09] when i press enter it says [06:10] i might try to reinstall os [06:10] Hello World!djweems@ubuntu:~$ [06:10] BaseBallBoy: that is correct [06:10] odd [06:10] but very cool [06:10] then this happened after an update so starting fresh might help [06:10] BaseBallBoy: if it's a basic hello world program, it should just print that to the terminal that it was running from [06:10] loof: i give up [06:10] Does anyone here slipstream their updates in their Ubuntu install CD's ? [06:11] i fucking give up, gnight all, thanks for the help [06:11] why would I get "bash: myfile.sh: command not found" when the .sh file exists in current dir? [06:11] i thought i ran the .sh file just a bit ago [06:11] will be back after reinstall thanks to all [06:11] Nautilus__: you might need a path instead of just a filename [06:11] Nautilus__: try ./myfile.sh [06:12] lsar ohyea, trying [06:12] that was it. wtheck [06:12] oh dear did somethingliketha go to reinstall ubuntu? [06:13] Nautilus__: that's essentially the relative path fo myfile.sh where . is a shortcut for the current active directory [06:13] yeah he did cabrey [06:13] cabrey: what is command to remove sun's jre 6? [06:13] **** i might have found a fix [06:13] Nautilus__: if you just do myfile.sh, the shell looks for myfile.sh in the different directories in $PATH [06:13] cabrey, yep... looks like... so anyway... would he just rmmod the bnw16 driver or how would you normally remove a prior driver? [06:13] Ajit, sudo aptitude remove sun-java6-jre [06:13] gartral: i can't really help without seeing the output of top or dmsg. you're definitely sure it's non-root apps, that randomly go to 100% cpu when you're running flash? like you run flash content, and say, xchat would go to 100% cpu use and hang your machine? [06:14] cabrey: thanks [06:14] darlek, you would blacklist it in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf [06:14] lstarnes: ya I'm just use to looking in the current path first [06:14] cabrey. cool [06:14] ack he already left =S [06:14] i came back to apologize for my earlier comment, it was born of an ill mind and aggervation, im sorry [06:14] how would u say hello world in Basic? [06:14] gartral: i can't really help without seeing the output of top or dmsg. you're definitely sure it's non-root apps, that randomly go to 100% cpu when you're running flash? like you run flash content, and say, xchat would go to 100% cpu use and hang your machine? [06:15] 10 print hello world! [06:15] cabrey, and how to get a list of installed drivers? [06:15] BaseBallBoy: it depends on the type of basic, but probably print "hello world!" [06:15] darlek, there are thousands of installed drivers [06:15] loof: no, regardless of ANYTHING else up, a program will truly, at random, spike the proc, flash just crashes X entirly, no matter what [06:15] darlek, they come as modules in /lib/modules/`uname -r` or are compiled into the kernel itself [06:15] oh [06:15] Hello, I am trying to install ubuntu server and it's not detecting my hard drive. [06:16] It's asking me to choose a driver. [06:16] hmm sec [06:16] Justin10ec: do you have a raid? [06:16] is there anyway to use mplayer as plugin for mozilla without removing mplayer-nogui for the other gui package? [06:16] cabrey, ok I see.. I was thinking of another listing that shows ath_pci and such. [06:16] No. See, it's always worked before on this hard disk and I don't know what happened. [06:16] loof: like right a fe seconds ago, irssi AND bash just spiked for a 5 second burst [06:17] I installed XP and now... it will not do anything. [06:17] gartel: flash in a web browser? if so which browser? [06:17] I can't get any OS to install at all. [06:17] dacorr: ALL browsers [06:17] Justin10ec, sounds more like a hardware issue [06:17] OMG it just sparked! [06:17] =D [06:17] Justin10ec, yea not good [06:17] UGH! [06:17] Hmm. [06:18] Justin10ec, may i suggest unplugging it? [06:18] hoohaah: It replaces it, but it provides the nogui functionality too [06:18] cabrey: Yeah, I'm doing that. [06:18] dacorr: Firefox is the worst, Galeon does it, Konquer, Kaze-whatever does it.. even Chrome [06:18] gartel: are you using adobe-flash or flash-nonfree ? [06:18] cabrey: I'm going to try another hard disk now, hold on. I'm going to change it now. [06:18] gartral: when it spikes, do "dmesg |tail --lines=50" in a terminal window [06:18] er gartral [06:19] and copy/paste the output to me [06:19] the sad part... java runs perfectly fine, no problemo [06:19] loof: dmesg|tail -n 50 [06:19] in Ububtu how do i get to a on screen jey board? [06:19] gartral, Chrome can't use plugins yet [06:19] dakarn2: both do it [06:19] hi all [06:19] cabrey: funny, it acts like it loads the window and the flash screen [06:19] BeatlesFan, good morning [06:19] key* [06:19] gartel: i had a similar problem, i removed me web browsers and flash plugins then reinstalled them and used the flash download from adobe site. so far no issues [06:19] in Ububtu how do i get to a on screen key board? [06:20] cabrey: hey [06:20] BaseBallBoy, you might want to look into accessibility [06:20] BaseBallBoy, try SCIM Method Input from System Preferences. It's used for other languages but a basic keyboard is an option [06:20] dacorr: i never installed flash-nonfree from repos, the flash install i have is from adobe === saulus_ is now known as SauLus [06:21] oh,the netbookremix is a bigger ISO [06:21] BaseBallBoy, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Accessibility [06:21] someone had a script to upload a picture to a imagebin, who was that? [06:21] gartral; try uninstalling adobe's flash and use another version [06:22] loof: ugh... how do i uninstall their flash plugin? [06:22] gartral, the canonical repo has the actual flash plugin, not just flashplugin-installer [06:23] cabrey: i installed FROM adobe's site, bypassing the repos all together [06:23] go into synaptic, type "flash" in the searchbox, and unselect it, then apply, i think? going off memory [06:23] gartral, yea i know, i usually would never do that [06:23] gartral, which package did you d/l from adobe? i know they give a deb as an option [06:24] gartral: are you hugely dependant on _Adobe_ flash? [06:24] cabrey: i dont remember.. i think it was a deb [06:24] is there a way to put a different wallpaper per workspace? [06:24] Detecting hardware... again. [06:24] Myrtti: will hulu and youtube run on anything else? [06:24] Okay it seems to have recongized it this time :) [06:25] gardar, ok hold on, you have to uninstall it the correct way if you used a deb [06:25] main = do [06:25] h <- connectTo server (PortNumber (fromIntegral port)) [06:25] hSetBuffering h NoBuffering [06:25] t <- hGetContents h [06:25] print t [06:25] supermanchhakchh: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:25] man i'm finding lots of neat stuff to do :) [06:25] gartral, sudo dpkg -r adobe-flashplugin [06:25] * gartral really wishes gardar would add something to his nick [06:25] gartral: If you still have the deb file on your comp you can navigate to it and use sudo dpkg -r filename.deb [06:25] !pastebinit | supermanchhakchh, [06:25] supermanchhakchh,: pastebinit is the command-line equivelent of !pastebin .

[07:02] mib_p201bpxg: use transmission for .torrent files [07:02] rpgsimmaster: my machine will not nslookup the site mentioned but i can access it [07:03] dacorr: Very, very odd [07:03] rpgsimmaster: i got a feeling its your Uni's configuration [07:03] Eevee: you want FlashGot + gwget ;) [07:03] dacorr: However, it only stopped working post 9.04 upgrade [07:03] dacorr: and it works from LiveCD... [07:03] mib_p201bpxg: but it looks like aria2 will do that; http://aria2.sourceforge.net/ and it's in synaptic/apt [07:03] dacorr: I've just done a fresh install of 9.04, and the problem remains [07:04] dacorr: The common resolution is to uninstall moblock, but I haven't installed it... :( [07:04] mneptok: gui for something as simple as wget would get in my way more than anything :P [07:04] Eevee: I don't know the meaning of throttles (lol), but i assume that it means that the server tries to cut more than one connection made by an user, but that's what that program is for, to appear to the server as different users, getting more download bandwidth for you [07:04] Hi, i have a problem with package manager and "update-initramfs" how i can resolve this ? "http://paste.ubuntu.com/190681/" please help me [07:05] Eevee: having to cut and paste URLs to the temrinal gets in my way. much easier to have Firefox invoke wget. [07:05] mib_p201bpxg: exactly; the server owner has decided "I don't want people using more than x bandwidth" and you're grabbing as much as possible instead [07:05] anonbadger: Thanks, i've always thought of .torrent transfers as unreliable and slow [07:05] I got [07:06] Code: "[ 25.244020] checking if image is initramfs ... it isn't (bad gzip magic numbers ); looks like an initrd" when booting. What is wrong? [07:06] mneptok: well I only need to use wget in the first place in exceptional circumstances; otherwise firefox+downloadstatusbar is usually enough [07:06] * mneptok blinks at mib_p201bpxg [07:06] Eevee: I just used that program, i am not promoting it 'mam [07:06] depends on how many seeders etc. [07:06] "unreliable and slow?" [07:06] rpgsimmaster: is it just the one site? [07:06] mib_p201bpxg: aria2 apparently does torrent too, but I like deluge [07:06] dacorr: No - local servers such as brightstarpc.co.nz and all subdomains fail [07:07] mib_p201bpxg: you should do your own research this is not really ubuntu specific or even Linux related [07:07] Eevee: amen. Deluge is most excellent. [07:07] and yeeah torrents are generally the best way to get big files because they do exactly what your download manager did [07:07] dacorr: and there have been others, but I can't remember them of the top of my head [07:07] rpgsimmaster: and you can nslookup them all, just not ping? [07:07] except in a way accepted by the people you're downloading from [07:07] mib_p201bpxg: not to mention checksums. which is more reliable than anything a download manager does. [07:07] dacorr: correct [07:08] how do install getlibs ? [07:09] Eevee: deluge sounds good, is it safe of malicious code, or hacking attempts? [07:10] I have 100% processor usage but the System monitor doesn't show which application is causing it. How can I find out which application is it? [07:10] rpgsimmaster: the ping is the problem, can you ping an IP and the domain name? [07:10] dacorr: Hmmm, I'm checking my packages. I've filtered to those with "net" in their name or description, and the only two non-canonical ones are libgnet and libqt4... [07:10] hi [07:10] dacorr: hangon [07:10] mib_p201bpxg: well it's open-source so someone would probably have noticed by now if there were any gunk in it [07:10] mib_p201bpxg: Deluge is a torrent application. only. [07:10] mneptok: Peer to peer connections are always slow... and there is always an user that cuts out the transfer before it finishes. [07:10] whats the package name for getlibs? [07:11] dacorr: No luck pinging the IP. I can't connect to the website via the IP address either [07:11] mib_p201bpxg: i suggest you do some research before making such comments. [07:11] I have 100% processor usage but the System monitor doesn't show which application is causing it. How can I find out which application is it === ConfusedUbuntuUs is now known as ConfusedLinuxUse [07:11] csaba: top / htop === ConfusedLinuxUse is now known as ConfusedUser945 [07:12] mib_p201bpxg: why would peer-to-peer be inherently slower than client/server? I've gotten ubuntu isos within an hour or so [07:12] mneptok: which one, specify please [07:12] probably less but it's been a while [07:12] rpgsimmaster: the only thing i can suggest is manually set your DNS to the universities DNS server [07:12] mib_p201bpxg: saying "peer to peer connections are always slow ..." pretty much indicates you have no idea how torrents work. but all of this is offtopic. [07:12] Eevee: I haven't tried peer to peer using a linux system, but i know what i am talking about from a windows user point of view [07:13] Hi, My name is Lance and I got a few questions, here's the first one, how do I play .CAF files in ubuntu?

Thanks for your help though [07:13] Eevee: Peer-to-Peer with with kaaza and edonkey and all that stuff is worthless [07:13] mib_p201bpxg: sorry but I'm not sure you do, especially if you think OS would have a significant impact on file transfer speed..

[07:14] mib_p201bpxg: You are very opinionated without much basis for your statements [07:15] rpgsimmaster: check if your using IP6 instead of IP4 and set to IP4 your uni may not support IP6 yet [07:15] rpgsimmaster: what's your point? [07:15] mib_p201bpxg: please drop the subject [07:15] dacorr: It's IP4... I'll double check [07:15] mib_p201bpxg: That was exactly my point [07:15] rpgsimmaster: let it go, please.

[07:16] Ok, I drop that subject... [07:16] I'll resubmit my question, how do I play .CAF files in ubuntu? [07:16] dacorr: There is a difference between 8.10 and 9.04s network manager [07:17] dacorr: It specifically now has a tab for IPv4 settings (nothing about IP6) which I have set to use Auto DHCP [07:17] rpgsimmaster: i use wicd so i had not noticed [07:17] ConfusedUser945: never heard of 'em [07:17] dacorr: lol, that's fair... Hmmm, I'll try poking some more things [07:17] Do anyone knows an application to speed up and manage file downloads? [07:17] rpgsimmaster: try wicd is solves most of the issues i have [07:17] mib_p201bpxg: I told you, try aria2 [07:17] do i need to place the patch file somewhere else? [07:17] mneptok: thanks [07:17] dacorr: I shall... I doubt it could make things any worse :P [07:18] facepalm.jpg [07:18] dacorr: Thank you [07:18] Does anybody know of a good program to equalize audio file volumes?

It works right out of the box except that pressure sensitivity doesn't seem to be working at all === hannes__ is now known as hannesc [07:19] confuseduser945: did you try audacity? it uses libsndfile1 which can read caf files [07:19] Pytlask: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Replay_Gain [07:19] mneptok: However they are simple.mp3 files. I am sure that there is a program that will batch equalize file volumes? [07:19] no guarantee they've coded in the ability to open caf files though but it's prolly your best bet [07:19] Pytlask: I think mp3gain does that? but I'm not much of an audiophile [07:19] Eevee: Thanks 'mam :) [07:19] and I go to Gimp's preferences to the input device preferences and my wacom tablet isn't showing up [07:19] apple sucks for interoperability, what can i say :P [07:19] loof: yes I did, but the file played loud static sound [07:20] ConfusedUser945: then i would suspect they are a proprietary file format patented by Apple and dangling legal threats from their rear-view mirror [07:20] oh yeah, it's a self-built Wine, because the official Wine doesn't do PulseAudio. [07:20] confuseduser945: you're prolly sol then [07:20] loof: prolly sol? [07:20] Pytlask: ah! you want to normalize the file, not the playback. sorry. [07:20] anyone?

[07:22] Heather: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wacom try installing the xserver-xorg-input-wacom wacom-tools packages and restart [07:22] mneptok/Eevee/kenyon: Thanks all! mp3gain looks like exactly what I want :) Much appreciation! [07:22] Pytlask: np! [07:23] I wish upstream Wine would incorporate the PulseAudio driver. [07:23] I wish PulseAudio didn't crash TF2 but there you go [07:23] confuseduser945: are you using the absolute newest version of audacity? [07:24] loof: whats the newest?

[07:46] Eevee: it is the Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11 a/b/g rev 01 [07:46] peabody: make oldconfig [07:46] mib_cbnn2t9g: you asked what wine is. [07:46] mneptok: yes! [07:47] pngl: /msg ? [07:47] confuseduser945: you can just dynamically repartition the drive in ubuntu, delete the xp partitions if you really REALLY don't need them, and just resize your ubuntu partitions to take that space, or don't resize your ubutu partition, and instead just reformat the space that WAS windows to ext3fs or whatever [07:47] simplexio: thanks, I'll go poke around with that then [07:47] peabody: after that you just make xconfig and compile kernel ubuntu way, if you want to use apt-to install new kernel [07:47] kenyon: Yep, but thinking about executing windows applications in linux like if it were windows gives me the creeps [07:47] loof: ok [07:48] * dROg morning all [07:48] peabody: that ubuntu config is bloat, where pretty much every module is compiled in as module [07:48] morning dROg [07:48] k [07:48] got another question, If I copy all of my windows info can I later put it all back on a partition formated the same and use windows again? [07:48] hm, anyone recall how to slow down emulation in wine offhand?? [07:48] simplexio: should I lsmod and just look at what modules I'm using and only compile those in [07:49] i don't wanna have to dig through google =[ [07:49] simplexio: compiling things as modules prevent bloat. [07:49] peabody: makes compile faster but is prone to user error [07:49] cause this dos game is going like a billion times the speed it should be [07:49] KernalKrunK: hmm. how was it working before? did you install something to make it work, or did it work out of the box? [07:49] Eevee: it worked out of the box [07:49] ConfusedUser945: one solution is make image from that partition with dd [07:50] simplexio: I can already feel that gentoo "but it'll make my system 12ms faster" feeling coming on [07:50] loof: dosbox tends to work better for dos emu in my experience; never had a problem with speed going too fast in it [07:50] ConfusedUser945: after that you can mount it from linux using mount -o loop [07:50] hi there [07:50] peabody: USE flags! [07:50] Eevee: it worked great i guess, is there anyway I can do default settings for my network manager? [07:50] peabody: 12ms is huuuge improvement :) [07:50] are there any video blogs of uds karmic koala? url?... [07:50] confuseduser945: it's not as easy as backing up the files in terms of restoring to the exact same state you were in before, if you want to do that, then you should do a drive image with a tool meant to do that. if you just wanna save your files though, like your images and movies and work files, just back those up and when you reinstall windows you can just drop them in place [07:51] y'know, I didn't really think about it until now, but it's very convenient that Jaunty has build-essential installed (well, at least gcc is installed) [07:51] Unless I installed it in a stupor and don't remember doing so. [07:51] how do i determine which wireless card is installed in my system [07:51] eevee: woops, typo on my part, i meant how do you slow stuff down in dosbox, using dosbox .73 [07:51] loof: oh well then now I look dumb [07:51] simplexio: sounds good but can I use that later as a normal windows by putting it back into a partition? [07:52] nah, it wasn't way too fast on my old machine really, but i just upgraded [07:52] my wireless doesn't work i have HPf572us [07:52] and now it's like WOOOAH [07:52] ConfusedUser945: that is little harder, you need to create partition and then write it in there, far as i can rememeber windows dosent know howto loop ntfs partitions [07:53] thats what I meant [07:53] i need some help troubleshooting this prob http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d7a990d2f [07:53] loof: cycles [07:53] simplexio: thats what I meant [07:53] it's described in dosbox man page [07:53] simplexio: is that easy to do? [07:53] Does anyone know the command to get network manager to use default settings? [07:53] ConfusedUser945: yes.. its basicly just dd [07:53] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d7a990d2f [07:53] KernalKrunK: hm I don't know, sorry :( unless you changed something before it stopped working I don't know why it would break [07:54] hey, does anybody know how to turn off the bouncing icon on the cursor in kubuntu that happens when i open a new program? [07:54] hey - where's the pref to set a key to open the applications/places/system menu? [07:54] hoohaah; is there a key to lower the # of cycles?? [07:54] ConfusedUser945: not sure, havent done that newer back to disk, so i may miss something obvious [07:54] kev_: it's somewhere in systemsettings [07:54] kev_: appearance or performance, can't remember [07:54] ok, i'll go hunting again [07:54] loof: do you have a .dosboxrc? [07:54] ConfusedUser945: but you can do it with little help from google === Kipas_Angin is now known as myphnix [07:55] hoohaah: probably ;D [07:55] bump [07:55] how do i tell if an interface is connected to internet?

[07:55] tavish: the surefire way is to ping on it [07:56] Eevee: you could be connected, say, to a router, but not to the internet [07:56] marqueed: well then I'd argue it's the router that's not connected 8) [07:56] simplexio: so I can, with ubuntu or ubuntu live cd, make a image of the windows drives, then later with help put it back into a new partition of the same type and use windows again [07:56] hoohaah: ahh, it's ctrl-f11 [07:56] but true [07:56] kev_: Desktop Effects > Launch Feedback [07:56] i need to not be lazy and just use google =S [07:56] loof: that's not permanent though :P [07:57] yeah i know [07:57] simplexio: right? [07:57] i just bought a core i7 and this game is like ZOOOOM [07:57] ConfusedUser945: yes.. but i recommend first googling that howto [07:57] anyone know how to open apps/places/system, or where to set that preference? [07:57] ConfusedUser945: program to use is dd [07:57] ok [07:57] loof: simple solution is to downgrade and give me your new processor [07:57] tnx [07:57] loof: core i7 is dying, right?

I cant get to see any development libraries in the package manager. why is that? [08:00] nerovengene: maybe they're not available on the cd [08:00] simplexio: i5'll be decent but it's meant to be a cutdown i7, and it's not coming out for a while still, anyways [08:00] nerovengene: did you add an online ubuntu repo to apt sources?

[08:08] and ubuntu needs more apps =S [08:09] sucks having to run everything in wine or in a vm =S [08:09] ok I Think I know what to do [08:09] All Windows 7 needs is more terminal power stuff.

[08:09] using the gnome-display-properties program, I can setup dual screens - and it works perfectly. but only in the gnome wm. I don't use the gnome wm, so how does the gnome-display-manager work? it doesn't seem to be storing the display information in xorg.conf.

[08:10] how do i get irssi to print *all* posts sent to me? [08:11] mhm [08:11] Justin-: have you tried changing sound to alsa/esd/ [08:11] For? [08:11] gartral: What do you mean posts? and print? [08:12] * Justin- linux newb btw. [08:12] that would be coold idea, forward all traffic from ubuntu to matrix printer :) [08:12] s [08:12] Flannel: i want to make use of lastlog, and get a read ot of everything every nick in this channel has posted too me in the paste 3 hours, 30 minutes [08:12] irssi > /dev/lp0 [08:12] read out* [08:13] gartral: /lastlog gartral [08:13] gartral: use /last somethinf [08:13] ohh.. it's locate.. ok [08:13] gartral: it show all line containing that something from backlog [08:13] I have just upgraded from 8.04 to 9.04, and am having trouble with my video setup. Currently I have a Geforce 7600GS in PCI-express and a FX5200-card in a PCI-slot [08:13] hi, i have problem with sound on acer aspire 6530, when i plug in my headphones they don't play, any suggestions? [08:14] Flannel, you know if perl is already installed? [08:14] I am having trouble getting both these cards working simultaniously in xorg, I can activate the two screens on the 7600card or the one screen on the fx5200-card by commenting or uncommenting the appropriate Screen-lines in my xorg.conf [08:14] simplexio: it's not reading back far enough, i need three and a half hours ago [08:14] Justin-: It is. [08:15] any tips to get both cards/all three screens working at the same time would be greatly appreciated [08:15] How do I install .rPM files? [08:15] How would i... err... use it [08:15] alien [08:15] !rpm [08:15] RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) [08:15] Hey guys, do you know anything better than aria2 and aria2fe for downloading files? [08:15] gartral: do you save logs ? then grep it from there.. other option is raise backlog size.. wait a asec i find that option [08:15] how can I dump the chmod value for a given file/dir? I want to see what the original value is before I change it... [08:15] Justin-: use perl? for what? [08:16] err. *cough* WEPcrack.pl *cough* [08:16] download alien and run as root it will make .deb out of .rpm [08:16] gartral: scrollback_time [08:16] Hi all.. Does anyone know if it's possible to install Moblin or Ubuntu MID on my Nokia 5800? [08:16] simplexio: its probably relational too the backlog size for the terminal, isn't it?

I tried "sudo dpkg --configure -a" but no dice.. Can anyone help me troubleshoot this? [08:17] gartral: irssi uses its own scrollback_ i think [08:17] shambat: ls -l, or if you want the actual octal value, stat -c '%a' file [08:17] I am being ignored :s [08:17] gartral: check /set and from tehre scrollback options [08:17] me too [08:17] Eevee: ok cool thx [08:17] mib_ what files? [08:17] simplexio: simplexio hmm.. that won't work if I enable it *after* the time i want to retreive, will it? [08:17] hey all, is there a way that ubuntu can save all the current applications you have open and where so that when you shut down the next morning you can just boot up and be where you left off?

Anygood P2P programs for Ubuntu? [08:19] Justin-: frostwire [08:19] niez: That's how i fixed it.. "automagically".. :) [08:19] !p2p | Justin- [08:19] Justin-: Peer-to-peer filesharing clients are available for several networks/protocols, including !BitTorrent, !Gnutella, !eDonkey, !DirectConnect, !SoulSeek - Multi-protocol engines include !MLDonkey and !giFT - See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/P2PFileSharing for general information [08:19] <3 Frostwire but it works on Ubuntu also? [08:19] there are only drivers for my graphics card (radeon) [08:19] crap! [08:19] Justin-: yeah frostwire runs on everything [08:19] * perbl is running out of options [08:19] (thinking) [08:19] Justin-: wouldnt recommend it if it didnt [08:19] kinda like that annoying thing called Firefox [08:19] now I have tried all the available nvidia-driver-versions, but still no go :( [08:19] <--- Uses only Linux (Ubuntu) [08:20] how do I get rid of FGLRX/check if I have it? [08:21] there are 26 file sharing protocols, the 7 are the most popular [08:21] ceej: hm, I thought you could do that in Preferences > Sessions, but it seems to be awol in jaunty [08:21] mib_cbnn2t9g, should I add some repositories so ubuntu can find new available drivers for my hardware? [08:21] if i randomly do things like "sudo apt-get install "think of a random program here" will it mess up anything? === saulus_ is now known as SauLus [08:21] perbl: sorry i missed your question, what's a no go? [08:21] Justin-: as a general rule no, but you can use "aptitude show foo" to make sure you're installing the right thing first [08:22] niez: if your system is up to date i don't think so [08:22] niez: does acer.com provide linux drivers for your sound card? [08:22] sudo apt-get install allwindowsgamesinstantlywork-pkg [08:22] loof: whats the easiest way to remove the Adobe_flash plugin that was installed by that link you gave me? [08:22] mib_cbnn2t9g, looking... === admin_ is now known as lamerion [08:23] gartral, sec [08:23] loof: I just upgraded to 9.04, and am having trouble getting my dual video-card/triple screen-setup to work [08:23] loof: thank you kindly, sir === newbie is now known as yancey [08:23] How do I check if it's in use / disable FGLRX and use x.org? [08:23] loof: two screens connected to a Nvidia GF 7600GS and one connected to a pci-based FX5200 [08:24] perbl: does Ubuntu see both cards? and do you need special drivers (for SLI/CrossFire)? [08:24] loof: I can enable the two screens connected to the GF7600 or the one screen connected to the FX5200, but not all three at the same time, which leads to xorg restarting in a loop with black screens, and no notable errors in the log === ff7h is now known as ff7h___ [08:25] gartral: I am not trying to setup SLI, that requires identical cards === ff7h___ is now known as ff7h_ [08:25] gartral: have you tried "sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-installer" ? [08:25] gartral: just three screens connected to two cards for a triple screen xinerama setup [08:25] perbl: ok, ignoreing the second question, does Ubuntu recognise *both* cards? [08:25] gartral: yeah [08:26] gartral: As I said, I can activate either card and the corresponding screens === ff7h_ is now known as ff7h__ [08:26] and compatible drivers for both? [08:26] just not all at the same time [08:26] ^ perbl [08:26] perbl: what nvidia driver version and what version of ubuntu? [08:26] loof: 9.04, and I tried the nvidia-glx-173 [08:26] and the 77 and 93 or something version now [08:26] why not 180++? [08:27] mib_cbnn2t9g, as I expected, nothing there [08:27] loof: according to dmesg, the 180 is not compatible with the fx5200-chip [08:27] oh, hmm, is 5200 supported on 180+? i can't recall [08:27] perbl: im running 180.44 on a 6200 no problems [08:27] (thinking) [08:27] hmmm yeah i recall something about the 5xxx not being supported on the 180+ versions, lemme check [08:27] mib_cbnn2t9g, but my sound is working, just this jack connection (microphone,headphones) [08:27] perbl: no, i miread, your at top for your card [08:28] and since I can activate both just by changing these lines http://pastebin.com/m635bc27b, it seems like the cards are supported by the installed driver [08:28] they just dont want to work simultaniously [08:28] -i [08:28] !enter | perbl [08:28] perbl: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [08:29] hmm [08:29] :) === maze-m is now known as maze-m|afk [08:29] perbl: yeah 180+ doesn't seem to support 5xxx series cards =[[ http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/180.60/README/appendix-a.html [08:30] ivantis obviously has the same problem im having [08:30] loof: as I said, that's what I have allready found out, since the message during startup was pretty clear about using the 173-version [08:30] yeah =/ [08:30] hmn [08:30] actually I think that was when I tried 177 on 8.10 [08:31] which was when the problems started, I kinda regret moving away from my sweet setup in 8.04 now :) [08:31] uhh.. Synaptic says i have a broken package [08:32] !broken | Justin- [08:32] Justin-: Saying "It says nothing", "It does nothing" is generally not very useful for troubleshooting. Please be as specific as possible: if you see a black screen, say so, if you see a shell prompt, say so, if you see an !error message, say so - Also, most !CLI commands don't print anything when they succeed, but only when they fail. [08:32] oops [08:32] err [08:32] moin [08:33] niez: still there? [08:33] mib_cbnn2t9g, yes [08:33] niez: I already found the fix for the microphone and headphones... [08:33] wait... ill get the link... [08:34] mib_cbnn2t9g, buy usb headphones? :) [08:34] umm. someone help. i cant use package manager because of some error message [08:34] loof: anyways, from my viewpoint it seems that it's the enabling of both cards in a xinerama-setup that causes the problem, not the drivers on the individual chips [08:35] Justin, what is the error msg? [08:35] broken dependencies [08:36] niez: damn... i saw the link , but it is useless... just check it (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=988474) [08:36] loof: well. at least Gnash dosn't decimate firefox... it just displays a black screen and not media is played... period [08:36] ok [08:36] niez: they don't know too.. , wait.. still checking for other links [08:36] Justin, more detail [08:37] perhaps try a forum post and see if anyone else are having trouble with this kinda behaviour in the newer drivers when using xinerama [08:37] perbl: did you try the stuff they mention in the nvidia driver documents re: In some cases, the secondary card is not initialized correctly by the NVIDIA kernel module. You can work around this by enabling the XFree86 Int10 module to soft-boot all secondary cards. See Appendix B, X Config Options for details. [08:37] loof: haven't tried that yet [08:38] "your system has broken dependencies. This app can not continue until this is fixed" [08:38] I am dire need of assistance.. I very new to Ubuntu (and linux) and made the partition size too small. Can't save even a setting! Dual boot. Anyone have any ideas? Sorry for just jumping in, but not sure how long till next B&W error screen due to being unable to save. [08:38] Justin, do you know how to open a terminal? [08:38] yes [08:38] loof: another strange thing, when I activate the dual screens on the 7600gs-card, I get a copy of the mouse cursor stuck at the edge of the screen when I move the cursor from one screen to the other :) [08:39] Justin-, open a terminal and close your synaptic package manager [08:39] now what? [08:39] * perbl is dangerously close to tossing this computer out and putting up a mac instead :) [08:39] mib_cbnn2t9g, ok, i fixed this, not in 100%, but I can hear sound [08:39] Justin-, from the terminal command line, enter the command "sudo apt-get -f install" [08:40] niez: I found this http://komku.blogspot.com/2008/11/acer-aspire-6530-6530g-windows-xp-and.html [08:40] perbl: Option "UseInt10Module" "boolean" [08:40] Enable use of the X Int10 module to soft-boot all secondary cards, rather than POSTing the cards through the NVIDIA kernel module. Default: off (POSTing is done through the NVIDIA kernel module). [08:40] mib_cbnn2t9g, in sound preferences i checked surround and that was it [08:40] niez: I mean, if you still got doubts about it, check for this line in there: At January 25, 2009 5:52 PM, Blogger Tovarish* said… [08:40] maybe try that? [08:40] mib_cbnn2t9g, ok [08:41] niez: ok, that guy claims to have already installed and working, and posts his email. [08:41] aburrent, can i pm you? [08:41] Justin-, sure [08:41] mib_cbnn2t9g, thanks [08:41] niez: i mean, all installed and working [08:41] you're wellcome :) [08:42] do you guys know if there is a better application that aria2 for downloading files? [08:42] Ok. Anyone willing to help me with this probably basic problem? :) New user. [08:42] goldwyvern: use gparted to dynamically repartition your drive? [08:42] GoldWyvern: Spit up pal [08:42] Um, again, new user. Speak slowly.. :) [08:43] What does that mean? Installed Ubuntu an hour ago.. [08:43] GoldWyvern: I mean, tell about it [08:43] how do i install getlibs on ubuntu 8.10? [08:43] GoldWyvern: What's your problem? [08:43] Ok. Ok, dual boot install of Windows XP and Ubuntu.. (latest version from site as of 2 hours ago) [08:44] Something errored in install and it partitioned without my input.. thankfully didn't wipe out XP [08:44] GoldWyvern: Ok, and what's wrong? [08:44] oh i see [08:44] goldwyvern: at a commandline you can type "sudo apt-get install gparted" [08:44] But Ubuntu partition is small.. VERY small [08:44] and then you can use gparted to resize your parititions [08:44] http://gparted.sourceforge.net/screenshots.php [08:44] I don't have enough room to install anything new. 0 bytes [08:44] oh, er,doh [08:44] And where would one find the command prompt? :) [08:44] SECOND drive has 74 GB free [08:45] you have windows installed on the same machine? [08:45] loof: that's an option for the device? [08:45] if not, you'll have to use a livecd [08:45] Primary drive has 0 bytes free period [08:45] GoldWyvern: is your ubuntu installation running? [08:45] Yes, using it now [08:45] vamsikv: download gelibs from http://forzenfox.freehostia.com/cappy/getlibs-all.deb [08:45] if you have windows installed on the same machine, use partitionmagic or something similar to resize the partitions [08:45] GoldWyvern: Ok, first, go to Applications->Accessories->Terminal [08:45] can any body help me in installing getlibs? [08:45] vamsikv: then install using synaptic or dpkg [08:45] Ekk! That costs. Me poor folk. Hehe. [08:45] GoldWyvern: It is like command line [08:46] blob: thanks [08:46] Can someone help me get my wireless network card to be managed by networkmanager? [08:46] otherwise boot from a livecd of the distro you installed and use that to resize the partitions, normally gparted or something similar is installed on a livecd [08:46] GoldWyvern: what?? [08:46] Mib: Familar with DOS command line, yeah. May I PM you? Having a bit of a problem keeping up. [08:46] blob: cant we install it with apt-get? [08:46] sure [08:46] perbl: that's an option in xorg.conf, yeah [08:46] it's not in the repositories at the moment [08:47] basically add it as a line under the section for your video card (try the pci one first) [08:47] perbl: backup your xorg.conf files BEFORE MAKING CHANGES as they're very easily broken =S [08:48] loof: been there, done that ;) [08:48] goldwyvern: partition magic's on piratebay! :P [08:48] GoldWyvern: Are you there? [08:49] Can someone help me get my wireless network card to be managed by networkmanager, please. [08:49] Kipas_Angin: Is the driver loaded ( is it in ifconfig -a ) [08:50] what is the terminal command to see what ip addresses are on my network? [08:50] Is there any way to force Wubi to create a larger swap file? My computer has way too little RAM, and I'm trying to get more swap to compensate. But everything I do, including using JkDefrag, complains that my larger swap files have holes and therefore can't be used. [08:50] dallas: ifconfig, if you want to see your own addresses [08:50] hello [08:51] GoldWyvern: Still there? [08:51] may I ask for help? [08:51] GoldWyvern: Are you playing or what? [08:51] nenyalorien: !ask [08:51] thanks blob but i would like to see what other ip addresses are on my network [08:51] ubottu: !ask [08:51] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [08:51] I am trying to install OpenWorship. does anyone know how to install it? [08:51] i could just check the router but im too lazy :) [08:51] dallas: nmap -sP 192.168.1.0/24 [08:51] dallas: nmap === Kipas_Angin is now known as myphinix [08:51] dallas: see man nmap for loads of options too scan your network === myphinix is now known as mypnix [08:52] I am trying to install OpenWorship. does anyone know how to install it? [08:53] thanks blue-frog, what is the 0/24? [08:53] oh ok nevermind [08:54] I need some help troubleshooting this prob http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d7a990d2f I am stumped here.. I tried "sudo dpkg --configure -a" but no dice.. Can anyone help me troubleshoot this? [08:54] !join #ubuntu-es [08:54] Sorry, I don't know anything about join #ubuntu-es [08:55] Sup [08:55] anyone know how to make vlc only play in one window? [08:55] Ooh, I'd like to know that, too [08:55] ok, i'm soon turning mad: in Pidgin, i can right-click on a buddy icon in the conversation and hide it. but HOW do i unhide it??? [08:55] wilsonj: What do you mean? [08:55] tried it under the device-section of the second card, but did not seem to do any difference [08:55] wilsonj: I dont think it does any more... although ask around [08:56] magnetron: I just did that, rofl [08:56] I have another window that only plays the video.. labeled X11 output [08:56] kina annoying [08:56] So, no one with ideas about getting more swap in Wubi? I guess I'll just have to make a bunch of smaller swap files and use them all... [08:56] err kinda [08:56] magnetron: close a reopen the chat window [08:57] I have returned with the same problem: Not able to connect to certain websites post upgrade to 9.04; I have narrowed it down to the fact that, by default, pppd now starts with nodefaultroute as one of it's options. Anyone know how to disable this? [08:57] wilsonj: this happens to me sometimes.. try closing the window that acctually plays the movie.. then click the play button on the other window [08:57] AlexKpow: doesn't solve it, i've hade this problem for months === maze-m|afk is now known as maze-m [08:57] magnetron: what kind of problem? [08:58] Magnetron: What's the protocol? [08:58] beli: ok, i'm soon turning mad: in Pidgin, i can right-click on a buddy icon in the conversation and hide it. but HOW do i unhide it??? [08:58] AlexKpow: msn [08:58] wilsonj: It's the way the package in the Ubuntu repos has been compiled. I think there are PPA's that have a "fixed" version, or you can compile it yourself [08:59] hi [09:00] mib_cbnn2t9g: hi [09:00] Do you know guys if there is an application, webpage, or whatever kind of library online for getting md5 sums of any existing file on the web? [09:01] I mean, suppose i have a file name, but i don't want to download all the file, consider a DVD iso or something else.. [09:01] mib_cbnn2t9g: I doubt it [09:01] mib_cbnn2t9g: such a system would be required to download the file themselves in order to hash it [09:01] Is there any organization, webpage, application, library, text file that stores the md5 sums for the most common files? [09:01] magnetron: Have you triend reinstalling Pidgin? [09:01] mib_cbnn2t9g: Again, unlikely [09:01] magnetron: oh hmm, i am more the console guy, sorry [09:02] AlexKpow: ubuntu software doesn't work that way. you don't reinstall ubuntu to change the setting of an icon [09:02] It would be possible, it could be like a forum, kind of, you don't have to download it, just share your md5 sums [09:02] there must be [09:02] ill find it [09:03] mib_cbnn2t9g: It depends on the file [09:03] magnetron: You can remove it in Synaptic [09:03] mib_cbnn2t9g: What particular file are you looking for a hash for? [09:03] Or you could try resetting your preferences [09:03] Or just deleted them in /home/user/.purple [09:03] AlexKpow: just reinstalling the package will keep all pidgin settings [09:03] magnetron: /home/user/.purple is where all the settings are kept [09:04] magnetron: including logs, so you can back them up/transfer them [09:04] mib_cbnn2t9g: I don't think you quite understand the purpose of md5 sums. They are to make sure a download isn't corrupted or incomplete... [09:04] AlexKpow: i'm not asking how to delete my pidgin profile, i'm asking to unhide the icon in the buddy window. please don't answer if you don't know [09:04] Can anyone help me install this kernel.. Here is my pastebin http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d7a990d2f [09:04] mib_cbnn2t9g: Therefore, you might find them wherever you are trying to download the file from [09:04] mib_cbnn2t9g: Otherwise, very, very unlikely; Unless the file is also hosted on another site which does happen to have the MD5sum posted [09:05] helo i am having probblems with my ubuntu i have firefox installed but it dosent work and now my system update drop down in system/administration is done.....

I have found that NetworkManager Applet has had some changes to the PPPoE settings between versions AND that NetworkManager now starts pppd with nodefaultroute as an option (it didn't before 9.04). This is causing sites such as wolframalpha.com to not load. === ectospasm is now known as ectodozing [09:06] can eth0 and eth0:1 etc have different hwaddress?

[09:17] cool thankyou [09:18] what is the easiest way to confirm nvidia drivers are working? [09:18] rpgsimmaster what are you using hardwarewise to connect?

[09:21] aprilhare: you need 3d accelerated graphics to run it so your nvidia driver is working =) [09:21] yay for me! thanks WIGGMPk :) [09:21] loof: What do you mean? The provider? SNAP (prepay.snap.net.nz) [09:21] =) [09:21] ahh [09:21] sec [09:21] How to run arbitrary commands after a successful login using sftp? Stuff like "ForceCommand 'cd dir/'" does not work. [09:21] loof: This is the result of ifconfig and netstat: http://paste.ubuntu.com/190679/ [09:22] now, how can i get rid of that message at the start claiming nvidia isn't running? when i upgraded my kernel to 2.6.30, it broke nvidia and i was forced to install using .sh script from nvidia website [09:22] it was different version though [09:22] pngl: you may need to provide a full path to "cd", since "cd" is usually a shell built-in [09:22] aprilhare: forced to? you couldnt install the restricted drivers manager for the new kernel? [09:23] pngl: good luck finding a cd command file [09:23] aprilhare: ops, nevermind... just noticed the kernel version you said [09:23] WIGGMPk: well no-one forced me to but yeah :) [09:23] loof: This is the pppd line: /usr/sbin/pppd nodetach lock nodefaultroute user [USERNAME]@prepay.snap.net.nz plugin rp-pppoe.so nic-eth0 noauth nodeflate usepeerdns mru 1492 mtu 1492 lcp-echo-failure 3 lcp-echo-interval 20 ipparam /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/PPP/0 plugin /usr/lib/pppd/2.4.4/nm-pppd-plugin.so The only difference from 8.10 to 9.04 is now nodefaultroute is in the command for some reason... [09:23] ectospasm: an sftp shell provides a built-in cd command doesn't it? [09:24] pngl: I have no idea, but probably [09:24] tavish: maybe you can with the ip2 tools [09:24] aprilhare: not sure.. Im currently trying to get 2.6.29-4 installed but running into a prob.. so I imagine ill have the same prob [09:24] rpgsimmaster: have you tried simply removing it? [09:24] WIGGMPk: was forced to upgrade kernel for webcam support [09:24] tavish: but your nic has to be in promisc mode then [09:24] loof: that's what I'm trying to figure out [09:24] ectospasm: just tried from a console, yes there's a cd. But it doesn't work from sshd_config's ForceCommand. [09:24] loof: However, I can't find it in the confs (or don't know where to look) [09:25] aprilhare: couldnt you just compile the drivers for it and add it? [09:25] well, backup the file, remove the nodefaultroute line, try it, if it doesn't work, call them up? [09:25] loof: And I don't know which option, if any, controls it in NetworkManager [09:25] WIGGMPk: its nvidia - afaik thats the only way to compile; download .sh file and install [09:25] loof: It's not the ISP. It worked (and works from LiveCD) in 8.10, but not 9.04 [09:25] pngl: I don't know what that ForceCommand is for, I apologize for not being much help. [09:26] tavish: make your nic promisc and use sth like ifconfig eth0:1 ether MAC-ADDRESS; ifconfig eth0:1 up......but i guess its better to use ip2...read the manuals [09:26] aprilhare: i ment for the webcam.. [09:26] pngl: can you set the pwd some other way? [09:26] WIGGMPk: wouldn't compile. [09:26] loof: and I'm trying to find the nodefaultroute line in the first place...; you don't happen to know how to search within files in a directory, would you? [09:26] beli: ok, ill look that up. i dont know what nic is :) [09:27] rpgsimmaster: have you checked /etc/pppd.conf ? [09:27] loof: I installed Gnash, but it didnt do *anything* [09:27] loof: Yes... Having another look [09:27] rpgsimmaster: clever use of grep, or the graphical search tool will let you search in files :) [09:27] tavish_: nic == network interface card (ethXX) [09:27] Hi everynoe, I'm having trouble with my laptop's screen, it goes dead (tusn black and i can't turn it back on) when I close it, although power management yis the same as usual. I'm on ubuntu 9.04 [09:27] ectospasm: help in sftp doesn't give anything. [09:27] gartral: dunno then =[ i've not used gnash myself. i'd remove it, or read the gnash documentation [09:27] hateball: I tried - but my ability to use grep is... poor. [09:28] rpgsimmaster: how familiar are you with nic setup and routing on linux? [09:28] rpgsimmaster: tried gnome-search-tool ? [09:28] hateball: nevermind, found a way [09:29] pngl: this is bash I'm about to show you, and it's REALLY kludgy, but you might be able to use an analog to change directories in sftp shell: [09:29] rpgsimmaster: read the nag2 [09:29] beli: Alas, poor... Last time I tried anything like that I had to reinstall my OS... [09:29] beli: The what? [09:29] pngl: export PWD="/path/to/dir" [09:29] rpgsimmaster: google for it...its free.....network administrator's guide 2 [09:29] that's for bash, and probably Bourne shell stuff [09:30] and here was me thinking it would be a simple little thing to fix... Alas not... :( [09:30] beli: alright, I will have a general look in that direction. [09:30] beli: hateball: loof: Thanks for your help [09:31] rpgsimmaster: sites avialable/site not available has two main issues: dns or routing [09:31] beli: It's routing [09:31] beli: The DNS is working fine. [09:31] beli: Which is why I think the nodefaultroute option is the prime culprit [09:31] ectospasm: export is not a command in sftp :( === Kipas_Angin is now known as myphnix [09:31] beli: But I haven't a clue how to rid myself of it [09:31] rpgsimmaster: use traceroute [09:32] rpgsimmaster: and read into ip2 tools...they give you more options then ifconfig and route [09:32] !pastebin [09:32] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/index.php?page=add | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic [09:33] rpgsimmaster: ok, so, like i said in my first msg to you, /etc/pptpd.conf ... there's a line in there like "# Debian: do not replace the default route [09:33] nodefaultroute" [09:33] loof: No, that's exactly what I want to get rid of [09:33] replace nodefaultroute with #nodefaultroute [09:33] loof: It's not in the file [09:33] in /etc/pptpd.conf?? [09:33] loof: Hence the head scratching [09:34] loof: I don't *have* a pptpd.conf [09:34] loof: And it's not in /etc/ppp/options either [09:34] I trashed my NTFS partition :-( The awesome TestDisk utility can list and copy its files fine but accessing the same files mounted with ntfs-3g gives "File not found" for most files. Can I install and/or run ntfsprogs and libntfs at the same time as ntfs-3g? [09:34] Is there a way to add the unstable ubuntu respository to my software list [09:35] Can anyone help me install this kernel.. Here is my pastebin http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d7a990d2f [09:35] loof: bali: This is the result of a tracert to wolframalpha.com [09:35] http://paste.ubuntu.com/190731/ [09:37] loof: bali: This is one to google.com http://paste.ubuntu.com/190733/ (Not surprisingly, it resolves) [09:37] Hi everynoe, I'm having trouble with my laptop's screen, it goes dead (turns black and i can't turn it back on) when I close it, although power management yis the same as usual. I'm on ubuntu 9.04 [09:37] WIGGMPk: I don't think you'll get any support in here, since that looks like some sort of custom thirdparty kernel? [09:37] rpgsimmaster: looks like your provider has routing problems [09:38] G_A_C: unless im a thirdparty than its just the current stable kernel [09:38] rpgsimmaster: problems with its peers [09:38] beli: (Whoops, I've been spelling your name wrong) But the problem doesn't manifest in Ubuntu 8.04!?! [09:38] G_A_C: with the candela performance patch [09:38] WIGGMPk: what I'm saying is that the candela patch is nothing to do with Ubuntu, they don't package it [09:39] rpgsimmaster: sometimes problems appear at the same time...and you misunderstand them because you think its because of your upgrade...got another os to try it out? [09:39] rpgsimmaster: ok, i'm a bit confused still, are you plugging ethernet straight into your dsl modem? [09:39] G_A_C: ok, but what i need help with is where to start troubleshooting.. because the kernel is compiled and packaged already.. the problem occurs with installing the debian package [09:39] or are you using a usb modem or anything else? [09:40] hi, can grub reboot and load an alternative on boot failure? i could use this when doing some remote manipulations [09:40] loof: beli: Here's what I've done to prove the situation is not related to the ISP: Initially, I upgraded to 9.04. Okay, all works... until I try to access certain sites, which worked in 8.10. Now, I have since reformatted my drive and done a fresh install of 9.04. No success. I tried a LiveCD of 8.10. Success!. So I try a liveCD of 9.04. No Success. I try a reinstall of 9.04. No success. I am now here [09:41] loof: beli: Ethernet, straight out from laptop. Then (not my equipment) I assume it is routed to the fibre optic. More specific than that, I cannot be. [09:41] hi [09:42] disappearedng , yes does https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu help? [09:42] WIGGMPk: if you're having problems with your .deb packaging then I would think there's somewhere more technical to discuss that, I don't think it's really a topic for here and you'll probably find that the people here aren't the right people to help you [09:42] janojp [09:42] siema [09:43] rpgsimmaster: boot the live cd then and check its settings related to ifconfig/route/dns/pppoe [09:43] loof: beli: Just to make it clear, there are systems here (in NZ) and in places in Australia (and, therefore, I assume elsewhere) where the MetroNet is "Ethernet", so to speak - and so we have Point-to-Point over Ethernet [09:44] rpgsimmaster: is there an /etc/ppp/options file?? [09:44] G_A_C: isnt this a support channel? for technical issue? i mean correct me if im wrong.. not trying to be rude or forware.. but that response just doesnt seem reasonable.. should I avoid the ubuntuforums as well for technical advice? [09:44] loof: yes [09:44] oh! [09:44] try there [09:44] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/268667 [09:44] loof: As I already said - It's not in their either.... [09:44] loof: Alright, taking a look [09:45] try commenting it out in there, see if that makes a difference [09:45] loof: It's not in there... [09:45] gah! =[ [09:45] loof: However, I'll try setting a new option "defaultroute" [09:45] WIGGMPk: What I'm saying is that this is the main channel where everyone starts off looking for support. As such, it's full of people who are new to Linux or Ubuntu and the level of question is more likely to be of the "how do I boot the LiveCD?" level [09:45] loof: see if that overrides it... [09:45] loof: beli: I may disappear for a while, if I break this conf file :P [09:45] hmm [09:45] WIGGMPk: there are other, more specialist, channels where you may find people who are more knowledgable in the particular subject you need help with [09:45] wait [09:46] msg me with the contents of /etc/ppp [09:46] like the contents of that dir [09:46] or check like /etc/ppp/peers/connectionname [09:46] where connectionname might exist, heh [09:47] WIGGMPk: obviously I'm not saying "don't come in here", but I think that it's a bit outside of the scope of this (very general) channel to help you install a kernel you've compiled and packaged yourself (I assume?) with a third party kernel patch which is nothing to do with Ubuntu [09:47] Hi everybody [09:48] Celie_: hi ' [09:48] loof: Back... Alright, half a mo; [09:48] Bios Error - no PSB or ACPI _PSS Object, error reflect on usb boot recognition, fix with enabling Cool And Quiet not working ubuntu crash after some time! [09:48] Hi everynoe, I'm having trouble with my laptop's screen, it goes dead (turns black and i can't turn it back on) when I close it, although power management yis the same as usual. I'm on ubuntu 9.04 [09:49] goldiadkin; what happens if you hit ctrl-alt-f1? are you running on the laptop right now [09:50] if you're on the laptop, ctrl-alt-f7 normally takes you into your desktop (in xwindows/gnome), ctrl-alt-f1, ctrl-alt-f2 should take you to a commandline [09:50] Hello. Can anyone hear me. [09:50] G_A_C: well I appreciate the advice.. however I respectfully disagree with you (partial) I know this is a general support channel but its not entirely composed of brand new linux users.. Ill seek advice elsewhere [09:50] beli: it worked using vlan! [09:50] if that works then your machine works fine, but Xwindows isn't starting properly [09:51] shasha: yeah we can see you [09:51] haha. what can i do here [09:51] Hmm, I seem to have run into a problem that I haven't found a solution for. :( [09:51] ? [09:51] Would anyone have time to help me? [09:52] help on this anyone?! [09:52] gird3r: what's up? [09:52] Can switching to the graphical session at booting even if I already switched to tty1 be disabled at ubuntu? [09:53] I tried creating a link to a folder in my windows C: drive. Mainly My documents. The link works but when I restart ubuntu it says the link is not working anymore. [09:53] i'm getting the error: Error: authentication failed: no mechanism available on Postfix installed on Ubuntu. any idea what could be wrong? [09:53] And prompts me to move it to the trashbin. [09:53] Queck: you can edit your /boot/grub/menu.list and add 3 to the kernel parameters line to boot to the command line only [09:54] guten morgen [09:54] !pastebin [09:54] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/index.php?page=add | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic [09:54] gird3r: it's prob ably assigning a dynamic mount point to your windows partition. What you can do is add a line in /etc/fstab to mount the windows partition to a static point of your choice [09:55] is $1 same as ${1} ? [09:55] ??? [09:55] loof:ctr-alt-f1 turned my screen black with no way of coming back [09:55] BenTM: No. ${1} is the same as `1` [09:56] May I note that I have never worked with commands in ubuntu before. Any link to a guide about that stuff so I don't have to waste your time? [09:56] Ie a guide about what you said, but detailed. [09:56] gird3r: eheheh. Let me see...

[09:57] A ha. [09:57] Will look at this. [09:57] gird3r: Your issue is most likely that the partition is not mounted on startup, thus the shortcut fails [09:57] Queck: 3 [09:57] Okay. [09:57] Queck: just that number [09:57] gird3r: That documentation should help I think :) [09:57] chocobanana: thanks, I'll try [09:58] QUESTION: how do you grep multiple files in a directory for a string? === Kipas_Angin is now known as myphnix [09:58] gird3r: folow this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=283131 [09:58] anyone??

[09:58] loof: Oh, multiple files. grep string * [09:58] thought that's what it was but i was messing up [09:59] loof: try #bash [09:59] ok ${} is a Var. Ref. or? what is $1 ? [09:59] loof: sorry, that's multiple lines, which didn't make sense. but the second one is to look in said files. -R works too [09:59] loof: maybe rgrep "string" *? [09:59] I'm not sure [10:00] <---- Bios boot Related error anyone can help??! [10:00] BenTM: ${command} expands to the output of that command. Just like `command` does [10:00] hi [10:01] flannel: yep, perfect [10:01] with kde there was a way to allow another pc to take control of a desktop remotely (krdc) , there is something like that in gnome? [10:01] hi there [10:01] Flannel: BenTM: ${x} is just a specific reference to the string held in variable x. $(command) will give you the output of that command. [10:02] loof: something like "find ~/docs/ -name \*.txt -exec grep -inH "thestring" {} \;" could be useful too I guess [10:02] gypsymauro: use nx instead [10:02] gypsymauro: vinagre? [10:02] me on 9.04 kde and I have to set the resolution to 1440x900 but when I restart or relogin the screen login shifts back to 1280x1024 how to fix it to 1440x900 [10:03] mh ok thx :o) [10:06] chocobanana: Hmm didn't work, can you give me the exact line pls?

[10:13] yes [10:13] Hi everynoe, I'm having trouble with my laptop's screen, it goes dead (turns black and i can't turn it back on) when I close it, although power management yis the same as usual. I'm on ubuntu 9.04 [10:13] got nothing effective [10:13] I'm trying to compile a new kernel, but when I try to run make-kpg it halts once at unable to create directory ./debian (although it does make it) and when I rerun it it halts at "No rule to make target kernel/bounds.c needed by kernel/bounds.s [10:13] hi [10:14] hi, whats the command for changing chat room?

[10:17] is it an option with xchat to remove come in and ou on a channel ? thx [10:18] i have recently been learning how to use ubuntu intrepid and have been using "tar xavf" to extract bzips and gzips. but now i want to unzip a simple.zip. and I don't have the "unzip" command. What to do? [10:19] zoom: Preferences -> Chatting -> General -> Hide join/part messages. You must also restart the client [10:19] iceroot: 2-16Tb, depending on the chosen bloc size [10:19] IfTrueElseFalse: sudo apt-get install unzip [10:19] iceroot: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext3 [10:19] iceroot, thanls a lot [10:19] chocobanana: 16terrabyte for a harddisk or for whole / ? so if i am using 2 disks one for / one for /home, can is use 32terrabyte or just 16terrabyte? [10:19] peabody: cheers [10:20] iceroot: per partition. Ext4 has higher limits [10:20] chocobanana: thx [10:21] hi, i have just coppied and executible file into /usr/sbin but if i try to execute it i get the following [10:22] -su: /usr/sbin/racadm: no such file or directory [10:22] any ideas on what might stop it? [10:22] pixie79: check file permissions to execute [10:22] iceroot, i don't have this option :( [10:23] it has that [10:23] zoom: have a look here http://clintecker.com/disable-irc-msgs.html [10:23] zoom: it was mac osx i was sending you, sorry [10:23] and other things in that dir execute ok, so itt is not dir perms [10:24] iceroot i think i ll find it in advanced parameters thanks [10:26] has anyone got racadm working on the latest ubuntu 64bit? [10:26] does anyone else find in ubuntu's packaged version of xmess in 9.04 that it won't exit the emulator when you press escape? [10:27] right click on #chan and Join/hide :) [10:30] has anyone compiled a 32-bit kernel to compare the experimental 64-bit memory and IO resources against PAE support? [10:30] pixie79: is it a script? If so, what is the command in the first line (and does that command exist)? If it is binary, is it for the right architecture (a 64-bit binary won't run on a 32-bit CPU, and an Intel binary won't run on PPC) [10:31] timfrost: no it is a binary for an RH system but it should be 64bit [10:32] has anyone compiled a 32-bit kernel with the experimental 64-bit memory and IO resources enabled? [10:32] darn looks like they put the 32 bit binary in the 64bit package [10:34] pixie79: if you have a 64-bit system, and racadm is a 32-bit binary, you need the 32-bit compatibility package ia32-libs to supply the libraries that are needed. [10:36] I wonder how many people i'll highlight by saying Justin. [10:36] I would be one of course. [10:37] Justin-: Please keep offtopic comments out of this channel, thanks. [10:37] pfft [10:38] timfrost: thanks i will give that a go now [10:38] timfrost: that works, gave me another error but one i should be able to solve, thanks === chaky_ is now known as chaky [10:43] what's a good gtk-based cd burning app that doesn't require gnome dependencies? [10:44] hoohaah: nearly all will, as they interface with gvfs. You might want to try gnomebaker or xfburn [10:45] hi, I try to use a ".desktop" file from command line, but while running xdg-open on it, it opens that desktop file in gedit, instead of launch the prog. mouse click is ok, what's wrong? [10:46] or wine + imgburn === Sonderbla is now known as Sonderblade [10:47] hello === Kipas_Angin is now known as myphnix [10:47] hey all, any way i can force ubuntu to redownload the drivers to my wireless network thingie? as it does not seem to work with just deactivate and activate [10:47] can anyone walk me through installing wordpress in apache2? [10:47] xrfang: why not just run the command directly? [10:48] <|ntegra|> hi guys [10:48] ziroday: it is a wine program, very strange, if I run it directly, it simply hangs (there is a process in ps, but nothing happens) [10:48] if I use wine cmd then run that from "dos" command line, it is ok [10:48] Hello. Does anyone know why I can't install the new kernel image in jaunty proposed? [10:48] xrfang: hmm, probably best to ask the nice people in #winehq about that [10:48] also this STRANGE behavior happens if I add that program to the gnome menu, [10:49] ok! thanks ziroday [10:49] It says packages are kept back [10:49] zec: do sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [10:49] zec: You shouldn't be using -proposed [10:49] dist-upgrade also doesn't work. [10:49] can anyone recommend a decent window manager to replace metacity? [10:49] Flannel why is that? [10:50] zec: Its because the dependencies aren't in the repos, because -proposed is a staging area. Things in -proposed aren't always consistent, bug free, etc. [10:50] hi, I need to install some vital packages to compile some code. but for some reason on this 8.10 machine, synaptic isn't able to install some dependencies. I need freeglut3-dev and glutg3-dev, I already have freeglut3 installed, when I try to install freeglut3-dev it wants to install a bunch of dependencies, I allow it but then it gives an error about unresolvable dependencies http://pastebin.com/d56f59789 ... so I tried to manuall install those 2 [10:50] dependencies but it keeps trickling down the chain unable to install sub-dependencies and so on. any ideas ? thanks [10:50] however, why click on the desktop will correctly launch it, while run that from command line using xdg-open will open the file in gedit? [10:50] bkraptor: nope [10:50] this is not that particular desktop file [10:51] I tried another desktop file also this problem [10:51] how to change xdg-open behavior...? [10:51] Flannel OK, I understand. But is anyone using 2.6.28.13.17? [10:51] zec: No. Those packages don't exist on any repos yet. [10:52] zec: Either that, or they were put up, and quickly taken down due to regressions or whatever. [10:52] Flannel thanks a lot. [10:53] ziroday: :( [10:53] I'll just settle for wodim, then [10:53] hey all, any way i can force ubuntu to redownload the drivers to my wireless network thingie? as it does not seem to work with just deactivate and activate (it stops working after each update as first time i installed it worked then i updated and it stopped, second time i installed ubuntu i updated THEN installed the drivers and then it worked but now i have updated to 9.something from 8.10 and i need to reinstall drivers it seems) [10:53] How can i check inbound connections on my box? [10:53] hoohaah: did xfburn not do the trick? [10:53] chetnick, netstat -ntap [10:54] blip-: you can always try to download the required packages from Hardy [10:54] ziroday: nope, that's still somehwat dependent on a DE's libs [10:54] ziroday: no pure gtk-only app [10:55] chocobanana: is this normal though ? I don't recall seeing dependency problems for many years [10:55] blip-: I had a similar problem installing PureData in Jaunty. Some dependencies weren't available for Jaunty but they were available for Intrepid [10:55] apparently graveman is dead [10:55] boinkee: those are inbound and outbound connections. I am trying to filter out only inbound connections. [10:55] winetricks returns a seemingly cryptic error http://pastebin.com/m390a1cae [10:56] netstat oh sorry [10:56] chocobanana: so this error means something is missing ? what if I keep tracing down the stream and then install the lowest level dependency ? [10:56] blip-: is the glutg3-dev package available in the repos? [10:56] yeah in mine, maybe I need source code enabled to install it's dependencies [10:57] wget keeps telling me returned exit status 1 aborting http://pastebin.com/m390a1cae [10:57] chocobanana: http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/glutg3-dev [10:57] blip-: I was just going to suggest to manually download from that page [10:57] chocobanana: hmm ok i'll try that. thanks === uncle|sam is now known as Uncle|Sam [10:58] blip-: you're welcome. Let us know if it worked [10:58] anybody on that oculd explain how switching from BASH to KSH could break man lookups? [10:58] when you print to a PDF in cups, where does the file go or at least what is it called?? [10:59] lesshaste: I think it asks for which filename and location where you want to save to... [11:00] lesshaste: I may be wrong though [11:00] chocobanana: it didn't ask me [11:00] lesshaste: try looking in your home folder or search for .pdf files and order the results by modified date [11:01] chocobanana: the last idea is a good one.. if only I could remember how to order by modified date using find :) [11:02] wget gives me an error http://pastebin.com/m390a1cae [11:02] lesshaste: Unfortunately I'm not on Ubuntu right now.... But try searching from Nautilus and change the results view to detailed list... [11:03] hey all, any way i can force ubuntu to redownload the drivers to my wireless network thingie? as it does not seem to work with just deactivate and activate (it stops working after each update as first time i installed it worked then i updated and it stopped, second time i installed ubuntu i updated THEN installed the drivers and then it worked but now i have updated to 9.something from 8.10 and i need to reinstall drivers it seems) [11:03] I would need to search the whole filesystem [11:03] it's not in my home directoyu [11:03] directory [11:03] when I type 'man " I get the following error: [11:03] man: can't execute most: No such file or directory [11:03] man: command exited with status 255: most [11:03] lesshaste: try searching recursively [11:04] in the home folder [11:04] wireless sting up?

[11:06] does anyone know why compiz looks weird in jaunty? I mean all window border buttons look inflated [11:06] Macfuddy: does: wget http://download.microsoft.com/download/d/3/4/d342efa6-3266-4157-a2ec-5174867be706/vcredist_x86.exe not work? [11:06] blip-: weird. In the website it says it only depends on freeglut... [11:07] chocobanana: you mean glut depends on freeglut ? yeah it depends on freeglut-dev which depends on a million [11:07] blip-: try searching and manually installing each of the dependencies to see what it says [11:07] blip-: in synaptic [11:07] could it be my apt-cache is corrupted somehow :/ I did update though [11:08] blip-: but didn't freeglut-dev install already? [11:08] blip-: sudo apt-get autoclean [11:08] chocobanana: no only the regular freeglut, not the dev files [11:09] ActionParsnip: no, it returns the error [11:09] fgdhtghj [11:09] blip-: do the sudo apt-get autoclean and then manually install the problematic dependencies one by one in Synaptic [11:09] leh knalan g [11:09] blip-: they're only 4, so that's no too problematic [11:09] Macfuddy: strange, does the file link work in a web broser?

[11:11] blip-: yeah, from synaptic or using apt-get [11:12] how do you remap a mouse button to be a keystroke? [11:12] Hello everyone, just a quick question. Are the forums experiencing some downtime? [11:12] tiyowan: Try #ubuntuforums, they'll know more. [11:12] Flannel: Splendid, thank you.

You can always do a clean install of Jaunty, in case of emergency [11:17] yeah I guess. thank you chocobanana [11:17] blip-: you're welcome and once again, good luck! :) [11:17] blip-: sudo apt-get install libxi6 not make it fly? [11:18] oh for heavens sake, now the package search is down for me ! [11:18] hahahah [11:18] eree [11:18] blip-: ok, maybe it's a mirror problem. Try switching mirrors in the repos configuration [11:19] ActionParsnip: funny thin is it's already installed, libxi6 is [11:19] it's the dev that's the problem [11:19] some versuoin conflict [11:19] *Version [11:20] blip-: you could find a deb / PPA of the version you need [11:22] ok so now I see the problem after I try to manually install .deb package. The libxi-dev from the intrepid repos want's libxi6 2:1.1.3-2build1 to be installed, instead I somehow have a newer 2:1.2.0-1ubuntu1 pacakge installed [11:23] on that note, what does the postfix of 'build' versus 'ubuntu; at the end of the package version mean ? [11:23] HI [11:23] I can't even uninstall libxi6 which I have, it'll take out half the system [11:23] i have a macbook on which i run ubuntu 9.04 [11:24] any idea how can enable right click [11:24] i use ctrl + click for right click on OS X [11:24] any idea how to do it on ubuntu? [11:24] do anyone could make the toshiba Fn keys work on 9.04 [11:24] crap, this is what happens after I spend ages optimizing the install to my suit [11:25] if i get a grub error 17, did grub's stage 2 load correctly? [11:27] hello,this is my first time use irssi [11:28] froes: What's the exact model of your laptop? [11:28] Does anyone know good book to learn about proc filesystem [11:29] chetnick: Try the Linux Documentation Project at www.tldp.org [11:30] hi all [11:30] do any of you know if shredded files can be recovered?

[11:33] or I can force the install with dpkg instead [11:33] blip-: well, the problem is that the package manager won't recognize the installed source and will keep complaining... [11:35] chocobanana: if I force with dpkg --force will it recognize ? if not then worst case it just means I have to manually install each dependency one by one via synaptic right ? [11:35] blip: I have this idea: you could run the Jaunty live CD, install the stuff you need and compile everything in the live environment. Later on you can deal with your Intrepid installation [11:36] froes: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7409697 [11:36] chocobanana, live CD does not include tools needed for compiling [11:36] chocobanana: yes, it works, but then you'll get problems updating the system. You can even use apt-get force. If you need the package temporarily, then it may work for you. When you're finished, you can remove the offending packages. [11:36] froes: It's the only link I could find on the forums - I don't think getting those keys to work will be easy, unfortunately. [11:37] Titan8990, blip-: can't you pull the compiling tools using synaptic or apt-get in the live environment? [11:37] chocobanana, you *can* but it would be installing to RAM, and compilation is typically RAM intensive.... [11:37] ok i'll just use apt-get force then and hope that things don't break. I'll keep a note of the packages I failed, so I can remove them later if they cause problems [11:37] chocobanana: ^ [11:37] blip-: man apt-get [11:38] blip-: I don't recall what's the exact argument for forcing/ignoring dependencies === scfh is now known as scfh_ === scfh_ is now known as scfh [11:39] how to install the opengl??

I'm setting up bobmig.com, which works, but when I go to www.bobmig.com it doesn't work, and I have the serverAlias in place like this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/190863/ [14:26] what am I doing wrong? [14:26] hendrixski: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [14:26] hey guys :s i think i have a problme in the disk quotas :s [14:26] anybody here ? [14:26] Hello people!! could anyone give me some tips to clean up my ubuntu? cause boot time and normally use are very slowed down [14:26] !ask | badnerd19 [14:26] badnerd19: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [14:26] uploaded the alsa-info.sh output at http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=f79b6319e18fa8d3a2a599aebc2fc559af6fd0c4 . My problem is: no sound in ubuntu jaunty [14:27] !help [14:27] Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [14:27] OK, thanks for the information. Going to try some buttons see how ubuntu works :) [14:27] !ask [14:27] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [14:27] how do you change to root in linux [14:27] heatmzzr: in ubuntu, sudo -i [14:27] heatmzzr: in Ubuntu, you type: sudo -i [14:27] Hello people!! could anyone give me some tips to clean up my ubuntu? cause boot time and normally use are very slowed down [14:28] but why ubuntu says disk is full when its not :s [14:28] is there any difference between su and sudo -i? [14:28] alexb1: check the volume control and make sure no output sound is muted [14:28] thomson_de: none that you need to worry about [14:28] thomson_de: 'su' asks for the root password (which is disabled in Ubuntu). 'sudo' asks for _your_ password. [14:28] bigboss, have a look http://www.h3manth.com/2009/05/clean-ubuntu.html [14:28] hendrixski, Chagnge ServerAlias directive to just, "www.bobmig.com" as bobmig.com is implied and un-necessary. [14:28] thomson_de, well su works if you have root login enabled [14:28] im bein ignored [14:28] only* [14:29] badnerd19: so what did df -h say? [14:29] hemanth, thanks 4 the link, i'll give it a loog [14:29] *look [14:29] bigboss, okies [14:29] what is df -h ??? [14:29] rob_p: so that line would be just "ServerAlias www.bobmig.com" ? [14:29] badnerd19, we might have missed u , but not ignoring [14:29] badnerd19: It shows how much space is left on all of your disks. [14:29] badnerd19: run the command df -h in the terminal [14:29] hendrixski, yup [14:30] ok thnx grawity i ll see^^ [14:30] badnerd19: start up a terminal and type that in [14:30] thnx gotunandan too [14:30] thnx Myrtti [14:30] rob_p: I restarted apache and it still is blank when I go to www [14:30] hendrixski, ...also, make sure to do, "sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 reload" once you make the change in order for the new config to take affect. [14:31] hendrixski, Then it's time to view apache's logs for clues [14:31] join /#parpg [14:31] rob_p: oh fun, where are thos? [14:31] bacco1977: /join #parpg [14:32] hendrixski, Actually, both turn up blank pages here. [14:32] hendrixski, try those steps http://www.h3manth.com/2008/11/java-cgi-tomcat-apache-php-msql-on.html [14:32] hendrixski, You probably have browser-cached a previous copy of a page that existed before... [14:33] rob_p: but I hit F5 [14:33] hendrixski, Are you sure you have a default document in /var/www/bobmig/ directory? [14:34] rob_p: yeah, I have it ln -s to ~/bobmig [14:35] hendrixski, have you enabled 'FollowSymlinks'? [14:35] hi [14:35] gaaah, now I changed the wordpress settings to say www.bobmig and that just may it worse [14:35] hendrixski, is is named after one of the accepted default documents (index.html, index.php, index.htm, default.htm, etc.)? [14:35] gastly: I don't know, where would I check? [14:36] i have ubuntu 8.04 running on a tower server in my office, whenever the machine is manually rebooted i am required to re-login, otherwise the vnc won't work [14:36] hendrixski, Oh, it's a Wordpress install... [14:36] rob_p: there's an index.php [14:36] how to make it auto-login as a user? so that i don't need a keyboard connected to it in order to use vnc from another machine on the network [14:36] hendrixski, Yeah, I know now. [14:37] so whenever the OS starts, i want it to login to a users account, so that i can vnc to it from other locations? [14:37] hendrixski, That's a good thing to check... the FollowSymlinks directive. [14:37] anybody? [14:37] hendrixski, it should be in the file you set your documentroot in (/etc/apache2/sites-available) [14:38] WHen I try a command in the terminal it's keeping the terminal busy till I terminate the application. [14:38] macen: you can set a particular account to auto login [14:38] Can I change that? [14:38] it should be in that directory (sorry, I forgot what filename it was) hendrixski [14:38] Vlek: foo & [14:38] Vlek: Is it a GUI program you run? [14:38] Vlek, you can background the process [14:38] rdesktop [14:38] google talks of "gdmsetup" ... [14:38] macen: control center -> login [14:38] macen: that can be done from System -> Administration -> Login Window [14:38] ah i see [14:38] Vlek, see RichiH's response. [14:39] THank you again :) [14:39] gastly: yes, I have "Option FollowSimlinks" in my /etc/apache/sites-available/000_default [14:39] Vlek, welcome [14:39] hendrixski, ahh ok :) [14:39] should I comment that out? [14:40] no hendrixski, that's requiered [14:40] required* [14:41] hendrixski, Is your bobmig virtual host definition your default vhost? I think you have to define it for each vhost. [14:41] awesome [14:41] RichiH, bash: foo: command not found [14:41] Vlek: 'foo' is usually used as an example, meaning "replace with the actual command" [14:41] Vlek, foo is the name of your program. [14:41] ow ok [14:42] :) [14:42] rob_p: no, I defined a separate file /etc/apache/sites-available/bobmig and did ln -s in the sites-enabled, that's posted here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/190863/ [14:42] actually... that's not up to date, I changed the serveralias line [14:42] hendrixski, Add the FollowSymlinks directive to your bobmig vhost definition. [14:42] Vlek: you can always run the GUI program by alt+f2 and typing it out [14:43] * hendrixski tries that [14:43] ow nice! [14:43] Just tried asking this in #ubuntu-motu, but I'll try here... [14:43] hendrixski, you can also check apache's logs for problems. I think it's /var/log/apache2/error.log or something similar... [14:43] Does anyone know if: There is such an option on ubuntu-vm-builder only to generate the XML definition [14:44] Or 2: If -anything- unique would suffice in ? [14:44] hendrixski, It will often tell you in not so many words what is causing the problems. [14:45] interesting, it says file does not exist [14:45] is there some guide i can give to complete noobs to get them onto IRC once they've had ubuntu installed for them? [14:45] all the software is there, but to get them in here, specifically [14:45] hendrixski, Well that's something to investigate... [14:45] and to explain the idiosyncrasies of this community based support channel (and IRC...) [14:46] hendrixski, Well, gotta run for now but others here should be able to step in and further assist... [14:46] I am trying to make use of my geode aes engine by using LUKS/dmcrypt for encrypted partitions. But for some reason it does not work with the geode_aes module loaded. [14:46] i'm a mac user, so don't really have time for them.. [14:48] macen: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat would be a good place to start, note that the irc client links go to other wiki pages === MEIA_FASE is now known as xALEXANDRE [14:48] Here is terminal log of what I have tried: http://thomasdamgaard.dk/p/P1310.html [14:48] literally reading exactly that page now [14:48] :-( [14:49] maybe they'd be better off with the paid support [14:49] macen: are they really having so many problems that they'll require the support ? [14:49] not really no [14:49] macen: They could always use the forums if IRC just isn't for them. [14:49] gastly: if you can still help. here's the apache error log telling me a file that does exist doesn't exist: http://paste.ubuntu.com/190888/ [14:50] although one did need me to come back out to him because he hadn't done the updates [14:50] macen: most likely a google search for their ubuntu specific problem will get them an ubuntuforums link [14:50] indeed [14:50] this is what i say [14:50] ok [14:50] tyvm [14:51] and I just tried chmod'ing it to 777 still, empty screen [14:51] btw, great feedback from people [14:51] thank god for open office... [14:51] heh [14:51] macen: i am a relative n00b, been using ubuntu or linux for that matter just over a year, any problems i run into, i just do a google search: "ubuntu+xyx" problem [14:51] ya [14:51] hendrixski, do you have DirectoryIndex directive set to include 'index.php'? [14:51] i say just use the ubuntu keyword and there are plenty of people eager to help so just keep looking [14:52] they like that it's free :> [14:52] heh [14:52] gastly: I've never needed to in the past [14:53] hendrixski, well you'll have to add 'index.php' to the 'DirectoryIndex' dierctive in the 000-default file...it's required for wordpress :) === goose is now known as goose|zZz [14:55] gastly: oh, shizzle, I think I found it... it's looking for /var/www/bobmig/wordpress/ [14:55] that's a dumb mistake, FML [14:56] hehe, congrats you found it :) [14:57] Ooh an irc client that connects me somewhere immediately rather than having to mess about with servers, loving ubuntu more and more every day :) [14:58] :) [14:58] oh yeah ubuntu rules [14:58] =) [14:58] xen23: lol ))) love, love and more love ))) [14:58] It's #ubuntu fyi [14:59] I'm well impressed, using Netbook remix and it's the first time I've had a linux build installed and found myself in windows wanting to reboot into linux for ease of use :) [14:59] :) [15:00] yes [15:00] estou on [15:00] Primeira vez [15:01] why i cant close package installer (Skype) [15:01] !skype1 [15:01] Sorry, I don't know anything about skype1 [15:01] !skype [15:01] To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto - Please use open protocols instead if you can, see !Ekiga [15:01] can anyone help me working with a LG L1730SF touch screen??

[15:06] muskatnuss: Reboot Ubuntu in "recovery mode", then use the same command to add yourself to 'admin' group. [15:06] muskatnuss: reboot into recovery mode add yourself to admin mode with adduser the command you should have used [15:06] I haven't really fixed it.. I just know kind of what causes it. [15:07] muskatnuss: adduser $USER admin [15:07] alright thanks man :) [15:07] alright thanks man :) [15:07] ill give it a try [15:07] muskatnuss: and do not use usermod again (if you do not know what you are doing) [15:08] I previously installed gstreamer using synaptic.

Synaptic doesnt have the latest version [15:09] Frogging101, what does the latest version have that you need? [15:09] Titan8990: First, why is that important, second, its a dependency for something else [15:10] Frogging101, its important because you could be causing yourself a lot of trouble for no reason and second, whats that?

[15:11] muskatnuss: reboot, and when it says "Press ESC to open menu" press Esc key, and choose Recovery.

I frequently find myself having to wait 3 minutes to do anything when it decides to autosave and sometimes moving a figure a few inches means waiting for 3-5 minutes... Powerpoint running on XP through virtualbox is faster! What the heck...?

[15:24] Titan8990: fire up synaptics and use its search feature.. Im not sure that just using the server kernel will 'fix' your problem with memory. [15:24] muskatnuss iits really annoying with mt network LAN [15:25] Dr_Willis: Texmaker maybe? [15:25] Dr_Willis, server kernel has PAE enabled allowing for more memory [15:25] server? [15:25] sure i have many troubles around nfs server and clients [15:25] PerryArmstrong: TeX is a Typesettin system. Its used to make books and other things. You have not been clear on what you are really wanting to do . other then 'make documetion' , that can be done with about anything. :) [15:25] PerryArmstrong: Texmaker maybe? [15:25] and samba... its too unstable ...

[15:27] extor, you could have just got the 9mb minimal install disc [15:27] i downloaded an opensource driver, how do i install it? [15:27] extor: why did you bother with the dvd? you dont gain much from the extra download except for addational language packa [15:28] brucelee, download and install it via the package manager [15:28] i'd just download the 64. i made the mistake of not doing that a few days ago, it was worth redownloading the correct one and reinstalling. [15:28] extor: the point to rember is that the server kernel MIGHT have issues with some hardware/drivers. [15:28] Dr_Willis, geirha,gaveen, Pici; well i suppose its Texmaker.....thanks geirha....i'll try that out....anyways i am buiding a website and i need to make an SRS...so someone told me Texmaker has good look and features.....is there any alternative for this in Windows XP [15:28] the 64 bit kernel? [15:28] Titan8990, how do i do this though? [15:28] i downloaded it through mozilla [15:28] Dr_Willis, geirha,gaveen, Pici; thanks everyone for helping me [15:28] PerryArmstrong: Try asking in ##windows [15:28] and i have the file in my downloads right now, its a tar.gz [15:28] PerryArmstrong: TeX is rather 'standard' :) [15:28] I'm trying to install ubuntu 8.10 on an older computer that previously had windows 98. when I run start the computer it gives me a "Invalid system disk" error any ideas? [15:29] * Dr_Willis has no idea what a 'srs' for a web site even is. [15:29] PerryArmstrong: I've heard texniccenter is good. It's windows only. === qcjn is now known as potatosalad [15:29] cadman21: you are trying to install? or have you allready installed? [15:29] PerryArmstrong, Texmaker is an IDE for LaTeX. Try TeXnicCenter on Windows [15:30] Dr_Willis: I'm trying to install.. [15:30] cadman21: You did burn the iso to cd properly? (check the disk see what files are on it, if you have a single .iso file, you did it wrong) Make sure the system can boot from cd (check bios) [15:30] geirha, gaveen; the problem is that i am preparing my SRS on ubuntu, but then my project review committee will be using windows...so i need to give them this alternative so that they can view it === potatosalad is now known as qcjn [15:31] Dr_Willis: yeah I have used this cd at least five other times. [15:31] cadman21: sounds like the bios isent set to boot from cd. [15:31] PerryArmstrong, you can generate PDF outpu from LaTeX/TeX. So there's no need to give them the source docs [15:32] gaveen; okk...thanks....so even Texmaker has this feature....which is better Texmaker or Tex [15:32] how do i install open source drivers for my wifi card? i have the file .tar.gz in my hard drive, downloaded from mozilla [15:32] brucelee, that is the windows way [15:32] brucelee, you need to do it the linux way [15:32] how do i do that? :p [15:32] brucelee: its very likely the drivers are allady included. [15:32] !wireless | brucelee [15:32] brucelee: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [15:32] brucelee, what card do you have? [15:33] PerryArmstrong, TeX is the underlying language. Texmaker is just an IDE/editor [15:33] i have dwl-g500 [15:33] Dr_Willis:most computers have a be menu if you hit like f4 at start up. this one only has setup and I can't find any boot options inside... [15:33] gaveen; so i need both?? [15:33] PerryArmstrong: and LaTeX is a 'set of macros' for TeX adding a lot of exrta features. (i think) :) [15:33] and it following that wireless documentation link, it got me to here.. http://www.samwel.tk/bart/various/dwl-510-on-linux-2.6.html [15:34] Dr_Willis, gaveen; ok then just tell me what i do need to install?? [15:34] cadman21: its possible it cant boot from cd.. expolre the bios some more.. [15:34] PerryArmstrong: if you are wanting to use TeX/Latex - theres proberly some meta-package for it theres also a Ubuntu TeX wiki page i recall [15:34] !latex [15:34] tex is a language for describing a document, commonly used especially for scientific publishing. Information and instructions for installing TeX and other related packages can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LaTeX [15:34] * Dr_Willis points to the URL ^^^^^ [15:35] Is there a solution for LAN problems when dualbooting with windows? === Master is now known as Linkadmin [15:35] dr_willis, you said its very likley that the drivers are already included, but i just freshly installed the newest version of ubuntu onto the system [15:35] and the wireless wifi is nto working [15:35] Dr_Willis:what is bios isent that you mentioned earlier? [15:35] Either it works on windows OR ubuntu, never at the same [15:35] brucelee: did you run that hardware-driver tool yet? [15:36] so i followed that link "wireless documentation" @ https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs, which brought me to this link: http://www.samwel.tk/bart/various/dwl-510-on-linux-2.6.html [15:36] now i have no idea what to do [15:36] Please :( [15:36] This is the only issue i have running ubuntu [15:36] cadman21: some bios's are laid out in odd ways.. boot order may be in a different spot.. OR if the machine is old. It might not be able to boot from cd. [15:36] Dr_Willis, im new to ubuntu so i dont know what hardware-driver tool is [15:36] brucelee, what card do you have? [15:36] brucelee: its in the system menus [15:36] brucelee: system -> admin -> hardware drivers [15:36] if you mean clicking on system and then on Hardware Drivers, it says "no proprietary drivers are in use on this system." [15:37] brucelee: some wireless cards have to download extra drivers using that tool. (yes you need wired connection to get them the first time) [15:37] i have Dwl-g510 [15:37] brucelee that was for me 2, i restarted and there was like 5 prop drivers waiting to be activated [15:37] Its all good [15:37] brucelee: i would check the forums for that exact card. It maybe its so new they are not included [15:37] Titan8990, i have dwl-g510, and the ubuntu wifi guide brings me to http://rtl8180-sa2400.sourceforge.net/ [15:37] Dr_Willis:if it is not able to boot from cd when is there anyway I can install? [15:38] ive checked documentations published on the website, and it brings me to here: http://www.samwel.tk/bart/various/dwl-510-on-linux-2.6.html [15:38] cadman21: boot floppy perhaps.. Ive tossed out all my machines that old. - if the machine is THAT old.. i wonder if it has the specs to run ubuntu decently [15:38] What is the command to get just the user nmae? [15:38] cadman21: or move the HD to another machine.. install. move it back [15:38] dr_willis, it says "It was brought to my attention that an open source driver for the RealTek 8180L chipset now exists. Apparently it works on Linux 2.6 and it has been tested with the DWL-510. I have not tried this out myself, so no guarantees! The driver can be found here." [15:38] Can anyone recommend an eSata raid enclosure that works with ubuntu? [15:38] porter1: whoami or echo $USER [15:39] geirha, thanks [15:39] Im trying to ssh to an ubuntu server where I have my id_rsa.pub key added to the authorized_keys file. This key is used in many servers without problems, yet in this server its not working... Can anybody help me figure why? ssh -vvv logs here: http://pastebin.ca/1451897 , I cant find a reason for the failure.. [15:39] Dr_Willis:ok good idea about moving the hd thanks for all the help its greatly appreciated! === Rabbitbu1ny is now known as Rabbitbunny [15:40] hello everybody [15:40] so anyone have any ideas? [15:40] about what i can do to get the drivers. usually i download the drivers and i install them using windows, but im not sure how its done in linux [15:40] theres no isntructions telling me what to do [15:41] phoenixz: seems your key is corrupt [15:41] phoenixz, pastebin your public key. Something looks amiss... [15:41] rob_p: geirha: how would that be possible? I use the same pub key for other servers without problem.. [15:41] <_2eXtreme> hey guys, how can i set the default volume level [15:41] does someone know a good application to monitor server's temperature [15:41] brucelee: well, follow the instructions on the pages you were looking at and you will know how it's done :) [15:41] hi [15:42] Dr_Willis; when i create a presentation on ubuntu and present it on windows...the data put up on the slides become very clumsy...is there any way i can prevent this [15:42] brucelee, you have to compile them [15:42] brucelee: you would have to 'compile' them.. [15:42] phoenixz, perhaps when you copied it to the server, something went wrong... [15:42] phoenixz: The private key seems to be corrupt [15:42] dr_willis, what command do i type in to compile them [15:42] PerryArmstrong: clumsy? You can do presentations in OpenOffice if you wanted... [15:42] geirha: rob_p: http://pastebin.ca/1451905 [15:42] brucelee: there is no 'magic single command' [15:42] phoenixz: It says it's unable to parse id_rsa at the start of the ssh -vvv output [15:42] brucelee: youi will need to install the developer files and other bits.. [15:43] brucelee, first you have to untar the file for tar.gz: tar xvzf file.tar.gz [15:43] brucelee, then: make [15:43] brucelee, make install [15:43] rob_p: geirha: unable to parse the id_rsa yeah.. but that same id_rsa is used for many other servers, none show this problem.. [15:43] !build-essentials | brucelee [15:43] brucelee: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [15:43] Dr_Willis; yes i create them on opeoffice and when i take it to present it on windows...the text seems to overlap [15:43] !compile [15:44] PerryArmstrong: no idea. I dont use the tool. check the OOo chennel/forums perhaps [15:44] PerryArmstrong: could be font issues [15:44] geirha: so which one is corrupt according to SSH? The public or private key? [15:44] Titan8990, what is this build essentials for [15:44] do i need all those? [15:45] brucelee: yes. :) [15:45] brucelee: and the kernel source proberly. [15:45] brucelee, yes its a single package [15:45] phoenixz: The private key. Compare the md5sum of it on a client where it works [15:45] brucelee, sudo apt-get install build-essentails [15:45] there are 3 lines of that though [15:45] apt-get install build-essentials [15:45] geirha, the key seems ok. That's odd it doesn't work. [15:45] geirha: pastebinning a new ssh -vvv log to a server where I can enter without problem now.. [15:45] install auto-make [15:45] irc.oltreirc.net [15:45] install checkinstall etc.. [15:45] brucelee, sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` [15:46] rob_p: the public key, yes, but the ssh client is complaining about the private key [15:46] Titan8990, do i type that exactly as you have it? [15:46] phoenixz: run md5sum .ssh/id_rsa on two boxes with the same key. It should produce the same output [15:46] geirha; when i create a presentation on ubuntu and present it on windows...the data put up on the slides become very clumsy...is there any way i can prevent this [15:47] brucelee, yes [15:47] ok [15:47] let me try that [15:47] I hate to be a bother but I was wondering if someone could be of some help. [15:47] i just checked your tar.gz and there is a makefile in it which should allow you to compile from source [15:48] geirha, Indeed seems it is choking on the local public key. [15:48] ok what it says is "..... is already the newest version." [15:48] I bought en external Lacie-CD/DVD Drive. Unfortunatly it does'nt work proberly under ubuntu 8.04 and brasero. It's not even possible to listen a CD. (it worked out of the box unter Vista with INfraRecorderPortable). I'm wondering what the problems might be? [15:48] Hi, I have some sound problems and would like to PM someone about this because it's sort of lengthy. Anyone available? [15:48] geirha, *private* key [15:48] PerryArmstrong: I don't know, I haven't used presentations much. [15:48] hey guys i recently installed backtrack on my /dev/sda1 but ,in grub menu i got error :15 file not found on selecting backtrack [15:48] sillycat98: your not a bother, it's a suppourt channel, and you want help with something, but what exactly? [15:48] I'm having problems displaying flash files on my laptop, which has a fresh install of ubuntu 9.04 and the latest drivers for my graphics card. [15:48] hi [15:49] sillycat98: Flash hum [15:49] But, the same movies work fine on my desktop with a fresh install of 9.04. [15:49] !flash | sillycat98 [15:49] sillycat98: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [15:49] the last thing i said was 'ok what it says is "..... is already the newest version."'

[15:49] '"0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove, 105 not upgraded"' [15:49] hey guys i recently installed backtrack on my /dev/sda1 but ,in grub menu i got error :15 file not found on selecting backtrack [15:49] Also, I can't get the only game I play to work on my laptop. It's a java based browser game called RuneScape. [15:49] sillycat98: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [15:49] phoenixz, Have you tried regenerating your keys and trying with the new keypair? [15:50] sillycat98: ah yes RuneScape [15:50] I installed the plugin through terminal. [15:50] geirha: http://pastebin.ca/1451907 contains an ssh log of a server that wors [15:50] Did that yesterday, and my java is working for everything else. [15:50] works [15:50] Can anyone help me with an audio trouble? I'd like to explain in a PM. [15:50] sillycat98: haven't played it before, but I got a feeling it isn't just some java app [15:50] !pm | Aryaan [15:50] Aryaan: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [15:50] geirha: md5sum .ssh/id_rsa.pub on both boxes, I suppose? there is no id_rsa key on the servers, only the pub key [15:51] It worked fine in 8.10 though, I'm starting to regret replacing my old installation. [15:51] geirha: as you can see in the log of the good one, its complaining about id_rsa key too, bu it works fine [15:51] Aryaan: the forums are also a good place to get 'in depth' help. - and No i dont know diddly about sound problems. :) [15:51] Ok, I have an Hda Ati Sb sound card which doesnt provide me audio, even though I tried *everything*. [15:51] Main thing though is the thing with videos. Worked fine in 8.10 but doesn't now. I kinda wanted hulu to work without having to go back to windows. [15:52] Dr_Willis, I have tried everything on the forums, including recompiling alsa, but no help... [15:52] I've heard from some people that there's a bug with OpenGL that could be causing it, any idea? [15:52] Titan8990, i typed in the command you told me to type in, and now what? [15:52] brucelee, which one? [15:52] sillycat98, what is your gfx card? [15:52] sillycat98: I just Googled runescape on Linux, maybe you should Google the same, altough the first two links that came up were also to do with Edgy and that was awhile ago [15:52] Aryaan: i know nothing about sound card troubleshooting.. so cant help. (other then say check the forums for the exact sound card) if you have tried EVERYTHING then what more do you expect? [15:53] man nobody in here knows how to boot easy peasy in recovery mode ??? [15:53] can someone provide me a link with guide how to get static ip ( 192.168.1.50 ) on my linksys router in order to make later my ubuntu visiblle via http? [15:53] muskatnuss: Easypeasy is not offically supported by Canonical [15:53] Dr_Willis, I'd like to show my Alsa info output to someone expert enough to try and find the problem. [15:53] muskatnuss: try #easypeasy? [15:53] muskatnuss: easypeasy is unoffical [15:53] muskatnuss: so you can't really expect help for it here [15:53] My graphics card on my laptop is a GeForce Go 6150 128mb and my graphics card on my desktop is a GeForce 9800 GS [15:53] hmm alright ^^ [15:53] muskatnuss: at the boot menu, either it has a recover/rescue item, or you get to 'edit' the grub entries and append 'single' on the end. (is one way) [15:53] Aryaan: there is an #alsa channel i think [15:54] but in #easypeasy they got though no answer [15:54] muskatnuss, how long did you wait? [15:54] muskatnuss: Ubuntu has the offical Ubuntu 9.04 Netbook Rmix [15:54] muskatnuss: Remix [15:54] Thanks, Dr_Willis . [15:54] yeah i would do so ... but i got no root prevs... === joshthecoder_afk is now known as joshthecoder [15:54] muskatnuss: hit escape , or c at the boot menus and learn to edit the boot lines. [15:54] i know how to edit the boot ines [15:54] phoenixz: Hm. Indeed. Does the server show anything about the connection attempt in /var/log/auth.log ? [15:54] hey, i could seriously need some help with installing ubuntu on an pretty old machine (600 mhz, 512 MB RAM), before starting with preparing the installation, it gives something like noacpi, force acpi or stuff. It continues but at some point (most likely when the loading bar is full) the whole machine just does nothing at all anymore [15:54] any idea? [15:54] i just cant enter the grub menu [15:55] Grimwold, use alternative install cd [15:55] but ... thanks ... ill go on tryin it [15:55] muskatnuss: yeah, not sure you can, i just booted up my eee with easy and didn't see anything, was hitting esc. prolly have to edit grub manually [15:55] geirha: weird thing as well.. I install the key... it works fine.. then a few seconds later it stops working.. [15:55] eventually the remix ... ^^ [15:55] Grimwold: not exactly, but you might have to edit grub menu.list and put something in there when it comes to noacpi stuff [15:55] Grimwold: or one day the install may not even boot up properly anymore [15:55] hmm alright ... for me it hastn worked ... but ill try again ^^ [15:56] be back soon ;) [15:56] while you can start installation with noacpi etc. (i think it was F6) but that doesnt work either [15:56] hello .. I have a Q ... does adding debian repositories in sources list damages my Ubuntu ? [15:56] is that a known problem with older pcs ? [15:56] brucelee: cd to the unrared folder and run make in it [15:56] Is there a counterpart to Device Manager in ubuntu? [15:56] !debian | DanDan [15:56] DanDan: Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu! [15:56] hi guys i need some help :) [15:56] ewan: with what? [15:56] which alternative install cd cabrey ? [15:56] What are two forms of application layer software? [15:57] sebsebseb : so I can .deb packages but never a debian repository ? [15:57] Grimwold, the one on the Ubuntu site. it installs without a gui [15:57] phoenixz: Now that is really weird. [15:57] cabrey and the gui is causing the acpi error ? [15:57] DanDan: Some DEBS I think are made for both Ubuntu and Debian, but most will only be made for Ubuntu or Debian [15:58] DanDan: or Debs are only made for Debian or Ubuntu [15:58] Grimwold, well not exactly, you could put acpi=off (or something like that) at the grub menu [15:58] ewan: homework help is with your schoolmates [15:58] DanDan: by adding the Debian repos you will end up getting Debian Debs, not Ubuntu Debs [15:58] * phoenixz nods to geirha.. [15:59] So, no idea's why flash would play fine on a geforce 9800 but not a geforce 6150 if both have the latest driver? [15:59] ewan: Are you having any problems running Ubuntu? :) [15:59] phoenixz: It sounds like the key is just fine then, so it must be the server. Is the server config any different from a "working" server? /etc/ssh/sshd_config [15:59] Cabrey, doesnt work, already tried all the options, RAM isnt the problem either (switched against others) but perhaps the rather old HDD is. If i'd just know what is causing the acpi error (or what it means at all) [15:59] sebsebseb : ok .. I have this experimental debian repository in my sources.list ... and I have done an update after it ...someone in here thinks it might be the cause of the flashplugin broken package ... can I remove it all without a fresh reinstall of Ubuntu !!!? [15:59] geirha: its an ubuntu 9.04 install... clean, no mods yet.. [15:59] DanDan: you do not mix debian and ubuntu. period. [16:00] DanDan: remove whatever packages you insttalled from that repo. then remove it from the sources.list file [16:00] DanDan: using Debian repos in Ubuntu is a bad idea, it might have caused your issue, but recently I have noticed a lot of people having problems with installing Flash in here, and none of them added a Debian repo [16:00] Myrtti : ok I know that now .. but somehow I found out that I have debian repos in my sources.list ... can I remove it and the installed packages with it ? .. ot do I have to reinstall ubuntu :S? [16:01] ah Dr_willis : thnx .. :) ... I just want to know one more thing .. how can I know which packages belong to that debian repo ?? === ubuntu is now known as dhude [16:01] phoenixz: Do you have any ubuntu 9.04 installs where it does work? [16:01] DanDan: weird how installing Flash seems to have become a common 9.04 issue [16:01] flash used to be a issue, since 8.10 though the plugin has worked flawlessly [16:02] geirha: yes, trying over there... the only difference I've noticed so far is that the clock of the bad server is WAY of.. could that be the problem? [16:02] for me, thank goodness [16:02] not for me... [16:02] ^^ [16:02] so solved it thanks alot :D [16:02] it was the esc button -.- but i needed to be farly fast [16:02] DanDan: If you're having trouble with flash, try downloading the deb package from adobe.com and installing that. (of course, uninstall any flash packages that you get from the repos before doing this) [16:02] sebsebseb : .. I would love just to remove the flash from my ubuntu right now ! lol [16:02] muskatnuss_: woot! [16:02] i have installed Xubuntu, and the max resolution is 800x600 [16:02] sry... [16:02] but i added an password to my root user xD [16:02] tiyowan : my problem is way far from just installing another Flash package .. I have tried everything nothing seems to fix that broken package [16:03] i would like to have a resolution of 1024x768 [16:03] so this cant happen again [16:03] a little off topic, Flash hasn't exactly been a problem for me, the problem was in the past how Firefox in Ubuntu dealt with Flash, and stuff like that [16:03] Could OpenGL be causing my problem? Like when I play flash movies it's like all the of the box doesn't update at once, it does it in peices. [16:03] flash in 64 bit *buntu was really bad in 8.04 [16:03] could anyone help me please? [16:03] it was good in 8.10 [16:03] !anyone | student [16:03] student: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [16:03] sebsebseb: i agree with that [16:03] phoenixz: Not sure if the clock has any relation, but try setting the clock right and see if it works then [16:03] DanDan: If you've mixed Debian packages with Ubuntu, it's best that you reinstall. [16:03] student: ok did you install your graphics card driver? [16:03] i would like to have a resolution of 1024x768 on Xubuntu [16:03] now in 9.04 it's bad again...npviewer.bin crashes frequently...firefox restart [16:03] geirha: no change so far.. checking differences between servers [16:04] Please i need help! [16:04] Norpan111: with what? [16:04] !please | Norpan111 [16:04] Norpan111: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !patience [16:04] sebsebseb right [16:04] tiyowan : no other solution :( ? I'll have to get an external HD and like BACK UP everything lol ! [16:04] Get very wierd behaivior with my LAN network card when dualbooting windows and ubuntu!! [16:04] usermod: how do i add an user to one ore more !secondary groups ? [16:04] When it works under ubuntu it stop working under windows and vice versa [16:04] Eh, nvm, I'll watch hulu in windows 7 or look into mepis I guess. [16:04] test0rone, why would you restart firefox for an npviewer.bin crash? Just kill it and refresh the one flash page. I personally don't have much trouble with Flash on 64bit Ubuntu [16:04] muskatnuss_: man adduser user group [16:04] sillycat98: wait no [16:04] ;D [16:04] sillycat98: well [16:05] phoenixz, Looks like you may have a space in, "/home/sven /.ssh/" between sven and /.ssh. Check your ssh config file. [16:05] ah well he gone [16:05] yeah thats it ^^ [16:05] sebsebseb same problem as yesterday [16:05] geirha: id_rsa.pub seems equal on both servers [16:05] i would like to have a resolution of 1024x768 on Xubuntu, though the max resolution presently is 800x600 [16:05] Norpan111: don't think I tried to help you yesterday [16:05] DanDan: It's a complicated system - there are lots of dependencies between packages, etc. Not worth the hassle if you're not technically skilled enough. [16:05] I rarely have any flash issue either. [16:05] hatter243 will try that [16:05] rob_p: :) No, I added that one because at first, pastebin.com spam filters didnt let the post through.. after all failed, I went to pastebin.ca [16:06] tiyowan : oh well ... thanks :) I'll get that External now I guess [16:06] sebsebseb Well i have a annoying trouble with the bahaivor of my lan networkcard when dualbooting with windows, either it works on ubuntu OR windows, never at the same [16:06] flash content gets all grey...like 1 out of 20 flashvideos [16:06] running 64bit Jaunty at home, just installed the flash-plugin and it worked right away. not sure if you have to have firefox open or closed, though i do a killall firefox before doing any updates [16:06] phoenixz, I see. Well that is the only thing I can find at the moment... [16:06] sebsebseb it just trying to get right IP but never get one [16:06] rights are equal, configuration is equal, keys are equal.. this is really weird.. [16:06] Norpan111: Because only one of them is booted at a time -_- [16:06] hi [16:06] Norpan111: network issues not quite my area, but what do you mean it don't work on both at same time? it's a dual boot, you don't even run both os's at the same time [16:06] i am new in ubuntu [16:07] very nice distrib [16:07] !welcome | kostas [16:07] kostas: Welcome to #ubuntu - the Ubuntu support channel. [16:07] thanks [16:07] hi, were y can fond e frenche chat [16:07] nathan7 yes, but if i boot into windows and it does not work , i boot into ubuntu and it works. Next time it only works into windows. Get my point? [16:07] phoenixz: No useful error messages in /var/log/auth.log or /var/log/daemon.log either? [16:07] !fr | tapd1doit [16:07] tapd1doit: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr [16:07] Norpan111: is this an ethernet issue or not? [16:07] what's the actual difference between "update-alternatives --config x-terminal-emulator" and "System -> Admin -> Preferred Apps -> Terminal Selection"? [16:07] sebsebseb yeah ethernet [16:07] Norpan111: lulzy. [16:07] heh [16:07] Norpan111: so it won't work in Ubuntu? [16:08] Norpan111: maybe the drivers on one os leave the nic chip in a state the other os do not like and viceversa [16:08] Norpan111: the ethernet won't work in Ubuntu, but it does in Windows? [16:08] phoenixz, Did you modify your /etc/ssh_config file on your local laptop or is it at it's default? [16:08] tank you [16:08] Norpan111: maybe you can do a bug report against the kernel... [16:08] sebsebseb if it recently worked in windows it wont work in ubuntu [16:08] or4n9e: i dont even have a "System -> Admin -> Preferred Apps [16:08] !bugs | Norpan111 [16:08] Norpan111: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » If that fails, you can report bugs manually at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug - Bugs in/wishes for the bots can be filed at http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [16:08] rob_p: geirha: pasting results from /var/log/auth.log now [16:08] erUSUL: Windows and Linux drivers are seperate [16:08] or4n9e: theres one under the 'users' settings. :) so that would be for just that user. not system wide., [16:08] student: What graphics card do you have? [16:08] Dr_Willis: it's in preferences, not admin [16:08] If it recently worked in ubuntu, it wont work in windows and vice versa [16:09] # unbuntu-fr [16:09] I installed the dictionary(dict- ) packages and changed the source to hostname:localhost still its not showing me the definations offline [16:09] or4n9e: so i guess thats your answeer. [16:09] :( [16:09] Norpan111: I used to think ethernet just worked always on Ubuntu, untill about 2 weeks ago when I upgraded the other computer from 8.04 to 8.10, and then ethernet would no longert work [16:09] Norpan111: I did some Googling like you do [16:09] rob_p: geirha: http://pastebin.ca/1451930 [16:09] Norpan111: a few other unlucky individules had also had similar problems [16:09] sebsebseb: yep but it is no unheard that some register values on the chips survives a hot reboot [16:09] Sebboh i have googled for a long time now [16:09] rob_p: is default [16:09] sebsebseb: or simply they remain in the eeprom or the like... [16:09] ANd it works if my system has been shutdown waited for a while.. then i boot into ubuntu [16:10] And it works [16:10] The ethernet [16:10] Norpan111: might just have to restart the nic, or try ipconfig /release when you boot into windows from cmd, then ipconfig /renew. then on the ubuntu box if it isn't working, try sudo ifconfig eth0 down then ifconfig eth0 up [16:10] erUSUL: ive had PnP sound cards that way.. If i booted to windows, then rebooted to linux -> no sound. if i powered off and booted straight to Linux. It worked. [16:10] erUSUL: your talking hardware here and I am not quite following, since hardware is not my area as such [16:10] Norpan111: What ehternet card do you have? [16:10] Dr_Willis: not really, cause setting x-terminal-emulator with update-alternatives does not set it for the logged in user. that's the reason I ask [16:10] so i read and now i did [16:10] sudo usermod -a -G www-data,muskatnuss,dialout,cdrom,floppy,audio,ssh,crontab,pulse,admin muskatnuss [16:10] Norpan111: clean installing will also probably fix the issue [16:10] Dr_Willis: I'm especially wondering about exec_args applied to x-terminal-emulator [16:10] geirha: rob_p: I think I found it [16:10] after that : [16:10] muskatnuss@q10air:~$ groups [16:10] muskatnuss root [16:10] muskatnuss@q10air:~$ groups [16:10] muskatnuss root [16:10] muskatnuss_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [16:10] Norpan111: sounds more like a nic/router issue than a OS issue [16:10] omnydevi i will try that [16:10] oh sry.. [16:10] or4n9e: the user can be overriding it if they allready set it. or it could be a gnome-specifc setting. [16:10] tiyowan well it says nvidia NForce [16:11] ill do [16:11] sebsebseb: Dr_Willis Norpan111 seems likely that's the case with this nic ship. the windows driver leaves the cheap in a state the linux one doesn't like... it is a kernel bug [16:11] omnydevi yes i belive you are right [16:11] chip* [16:11] geirha: rob_p: for the sake of to experiment with it, I added encrypted file system for my user at this server.. I see an error message about it in the logs.. [16:11] Dr_Willis: that makes sense, and what about the exec_args? [16:11] can you ask you something how i will start apache web server (services) from ubuntu? [16:11] Norpan111: if that does work, i would just write a batch script and throw it in your startup folder and that would fix ya right up [16:11] Norpan111: Are you using 9.04? Could you pastebin the output of lspci and ifconfig please? [16:11] G'day from New Zealand evry1! Problem with K-8.04 LTS playing videos with Kaffeine - Plays ok from boot, but 2nd vid throws up "libdvdcss" problem - i went to the suggested site & downloaded/installed but kaffeine refuses to play unless freshly rebooted...? Any advice welcome. [16:11] erUSUL: when I Googled stuff before, when it came to the other computer, it seemed maybe a kernel bug [16:11] sebsebseb: how do i install my graphics card driver? [16:11] erUSUL but when i when it works on ubuntu, and i boot into windows . it wont work [16:11] kostas: service apache2 start [16:11] or4n9e: update alterantves would set it if the user had theirs set to run etc/alternatives/x-terminal-emulator [16:11] erUSUL: ,but I had two kernels to try, and neither would work [16:12] kostas: or /etc/init.d/apache2 start [16:12] thanks phoenix [16:12] or4n9e: i perfer terminator for my terminal. :) so i always change the default for my user. [16:12] tiyowan yes using 9.04 well its a bit hard cuz im on windows now since i cant get internet to work on 9.04 :P [16:12] phoenixz, Well, if the server can't read the key, that'd do it! [16:12] sebsebseb: where can i get the 2.6.30 kernel from? [16:12] erUSUL: didn't get round to doing a offline upgrade to 9.04, well trying to. thought that would maybe fix it. I want to get rid of that install really anyway, and I will use Ext4 now when I clean install Ubuntu :) [16:12] phoenixz, ...or in this case, the laptop but you know what I mean... [16:12] rob_p: yeah but then next.. How can I fix this problem? Seems that encrypted home directory is not functional or what? [16:12] hi all, i try to get SCIM to run but using ctrl+space (my trigger in the setup and also the default one afaik) doesn't do a thing [16:12] Dr_Willis: I have a very weird issue with gnome-terminal exec_args that I try to solve [16:12] ILL BE BACK SOON private msg me with solution or ideas cus my name does not get highlighted here [16:13] erUSUL: slight offtopic, but Ext4 is working well on my computer [16:13] So im having troyuble reading what u write to me [16:13] Norpan111: ifconfig > pastebin.log, lsusb >> pastebin.log, copy the files and post from windows. [16:13] thiebaude: there should be a PPA [16:13] oh, ok thanks [16:13] or4n9e: no idea on that. sorry. [16:13] thiebaude: np [16:13] sebsebseb: how do i install my graphics card driver? [16:13] so for my usremod problem: http://paste.ubuntu.com/190936/ [16:13] student: ah yes your on xubuntu hummm [16:13] yes :) [16:13] student: in Ubuntu/Gnome it's easy, in Xubuntu/XFCE it will be differnet hummm [16:14] when i do "sudo iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --destination-port 80 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 10000" then iptables -L I see no changes where would I add this rule using ufw? [16:14] this channel is way too much crowded with useless statements imho =-O [16:14] hey folks, just installed ircu-ircd on my home server, how can I make it connect to other irc servers?...is that possible? [16:14] student: look in your menus for hardware drivers or some such [16:14] i tried but couldn't find any [16:14] is it possible to enable xdmcp from the command line? i have ssh access to my box but i would like to get into an x environment [16:14] muskatnuss_: you need to log out and back in again for group membership to become active [16:14] How could you make a game, for ubuntu, like the default games? [16:14] student: coudn't find what? [16:15] renagadex: make your own game? [16:15] geirha: any idea how I can fix this filesystem encryption problem? [16:15] sebsebseb: Yeah [16:15] kay [16:15] Dr_Willis: is there an ubuntu channel where it's possible to talk to tech savvy people (or at least more of them)? [16:15] thanks [16:15] renagadex: You do reolize don't you that Linux isn't just Ubuntu? [16:15] sebsebseb: i couldn't find any drivers [16:15] renagadex: loasd of distros out there [16:15] loads [16:15] phoenixz: I'm afraid I have no experience with that. [16:15] Dr_Willis: like #ubuntu-dev or so? [16:15] sebsebseb: Yeah, I just call it Ubuntu [16:15] Hey. I've bough the ubuntu 9.04 repositories on dvd from a third party. I've added them and they work fine, but for some reason synaptic seems to prefer to download than use them. How can I tell apt to prefer the dvd's except when there's a higher version online? [16:15] geirha: okay, thanks anyway! [16:15] student: which card do you have? [16:15] *bought [16:15] you .....what? [16:16] sebsebseb: no idea [16:16] renagadex: loads of distros out there, so your question really should be, how do I make a game for Desktop Linux, or if you want to be more exact, how do I make a game for Desktop GNU/Linux [16:16] renagadex: and this isn't really the channel for such questions [16:16] renagadex: try the general Linux channel ##linux [16:17] I have opted for home directory encryption in my ubuntu server installation which causes SSH not to be able to use ssh keys anymore.. anbody who could help me to fix this problem? [16:17] MartianW: have you added the cd to software sources? === daftykin1 is now known as daftykins [16:17] tatters, Try the '-t filter' switch. [16:18] renagadex: and i'll tell you right now, that if your making a good game for Desktop GNU/Linux, you will be using something called OpenGL for the graphics :) [16:18] or SDL hehe [16:18] NeoTubNinja: Yes. I installed xchat with them which is working fine. But it seems apt wants to download even when the cd has the package. [16:18] thomson_de: SDL?? [16:18] tatters, ...or the, '-t nat' switch more than likely... [16:18] rob_p: you would not have any experience with encrypted filesystems and ssh ? [16:18] i try to get SCIM (installed through synaptic) to run but using ctrl+space (my trigger in the setup and also the default one afaik) doesn't do a thing, what did I do wrong? [16:18] Simple DIrectmedia Layer [16:18] renagadex: the default games are written in python [16:18] phoenixz, I have run encrypted filesystems before without issue, yes. [16:18] using the PythonGTK toolkit, probably [16:19] libsdl.org I think [16:19] rob_p: well, in my case, I opted for home directory encryption during the ubuntu server installation. Result seems to be that SSH is not functioning correctly with keys anymore.. How can I fix this? [16:19] renagadex: Gnome's and KDE's default games, suck in my opinion [16:20] renagadex: thankfuly there are loads of other good games that can be installed as well :) [16:20] phoenixz, When you login to your laptop, it should be accessible once you have authenticated. [16:20] So now I've disabled the online repo's but this means I won't get updates, which I want. [16:20] anyone using an asus m2n-e sli board? [16:20] rob_p: well, its the server that has the home directories encrypted.. [16:20] sebsebseb: Thanks! [16:20] Could someone help me out with the installing of my propitary ATi drivers? SH gives me an error when I try to run the installer. [16:21] phoenixz, Not your local machine? [16:21] rob_p: no.. [16:21] claes, System > Administration > Hardware Drivers [16:21] renagadex: no problem, there are also already good games out there, that could do with some more devs really [16:21] hi guys...is there any software in linux that can rip a DVD into it's Video_TS folders? [16:21] rob_p: and http://pastebin.ca/1451930 shows some encrypted filesystem error.. I can only imagine that the problem lies there [16:21] mikebeecham, dvd::rip [16:22] cabrey: There are none listed. So I got the one from ATis site downloaded [16:22] !dvd | mikebeecham [16:22] mikebeecham: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [16:22] phoenixz, Well, the server does indeed need to be able to read the authorized_keys file within the user's directory. [16:22] claes, what card do you have? [16:23] cabrey: An ATi Radeon X850XT [16:23] jrib, thanks...I'll read up [16:23] hi, why does amarok 2.0 dont recognize the music tags? i installed amarok 2.0 now and most of the musics are untagged [16:23] claes, sorry to tell you but your card's support has been dropped by the latest release of ati's drivers [16:24] phoenixz: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssh/+bug/362427 [16:24] is necessary some plugin to solve that? [16:24] it works :D i added the options "rw,suid" to my /etc/fstab and now nfs is writeable and mounted correctly.... suid tells nfs to use nsfserversided permissions :D [16:24] cabrey: Yes but this is the 9.3 that I have downloaded. It says that it's compitable with my card [16:24] cabrey: The latest release is 9.5 [16:24] claes, only 9.4 or 9.5 drivers will work with jaunty [16:25] cabrey: Seriously? [16:25] MartianW: not sure if having the cd first in /etc/apt/sources.list makes it look there first, but i still don't think that would solve the "get newest internet version" problem [16:25] claes, yes we have had to tell a lot of people this [16:25] claes, you'll have to talk to ati about it, but you could try the open source driver [16:25] anyone have a link to the 2.6.30 rc8 kernels? [16:25] cabrey: So where can I go from here? [16:25] should a command such as sudo iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --destination-port 80 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 10000 work as expected in jaunty and ufw enabled? [16:26] thomson_de: thanks for the SDL stuff by the way, yes a little while ago now, but anyway now I know there is an alternative to OpenGL of some sort [16:26] NeoTubNinja: Thanks. [16:26] claes, do you need to do 3d work? [16:26] geirha: fixed it! [16:27] !yay | phoenixz [16:27] phoenixz: Glad you made it! :-) [16:27] How can I disable the creation of "Documents, Pictures", etc folders at startup? [16:27] claes, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver [16:27] cabrey: I'd like to run World of Warcraft and it doesn't seem to be working with the standard open source drivers [16:27] Im sorry my dog had do go out :P [16:27] I do not want those folders [16:27] Norpan111: ok [16:27] phoenixz, Glad to hear it! [16:28] MartianW: there is either a way that i dont know (likely), or need to find a script heh [16:28] omnydevi I will try that [16:28] claes, well then i guess your only option is to go back to 8.10 [16:28] geirha: Im using encrypted home directories on that server.. The authorized_keys file is not available for SSH when I try to login.. There are 2 ways to fix that, either remove .ecryptfs/auto_logout (keeps homedir mounted after I logout) or place the .ssh dir in the unmounted directory, but then I have to mount manually... [16:28] omnydevi should i do an those commands in windows even if it works on windows ? [16:28] cabrey: Seems so [16:29] cabrey: Thanks for your time and help [16:29] np [16:29] Thanks for the help. [16:29] geirha: talked it through with somebody in #ubuntu-server, its not very well documented yet [16:29] Dr_Willis how did you solve your problem with the sound card? [16:29] im using 8.04 .. and i just burn live cd Ubuntu 9.04 amd64 ... how i can upgrade to 9.04? [16:29] anyone using a cmedia audio device? I can't get the surround working, tried all the stuff I could find on the web, no luck...:( [16:30] JbCrash: you could do a netupgrade to 8.10 and then to 9.04 [16:30] JbCrash: or just clean intall and put 9.04 on [16:30] phoenixz: Ah, I see. [16:30] JbCrash: and if your up for it and set up partitions yourself, you can use the faster optional Ext4 file system, if you clean install [16:30] sebsebseb: i abit confuse when choose which partition..coz i have vista also in my hdd [16:31] netupgrade with live cd? [16:31] JbCrash: ok was Vista installed first? [16:31] how [16:31] JbCrash: no netupgrade when your install is booted [16:31] ubuntu should handle all the partition stuff for you [16:31] sebsebseb: yes..vista then ubuntu.. [16:31] JbCrash: however to be honest 9.04 with Ext3, hummm been there done that, so much better with Ext4 it seems [16:32] really I havent tried ext4 yet [16:32] is it that much better? [16:32] faster i suppose? [16:32] ok..when i install new live cd..i saw 2 partition..which one i should choose//frankly i dowan lost my vista programs [16:32] sudobash, IMHO it is [16:32] hi [16:32] well to be exact my install of 9.04 with Ext3, was the one I upgraded from 8.10, to 9.04 alpha6, to beta, to rc, had some issues from alpha6 left behind. did clean install put Ext4 on and it boots so much faster [16:32] I am still amazed at how fast 9.04 boots up with Ext4 [16:33] so can you boot up live cd and convert ext3 to 4 with gparted? [16:33] hmm [16:33] without loosing any data? [16:33] is there any text to speech tool for xchat? [16:33] i want to upgrade openoffice 3.0 to 3.1, i edit /etc/apt/sources.list [16:33] sudobash: you can convert Ext3 to Ext4, but it won't be the real thing [16:33] add deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/openoffice-pkgs/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main [16:33] deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/openoffice-pkgs/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main [16:33] sebsebseb: how long does take for you to boot? [16:33] right... [16:33] sebsebseb: hmm [16:33] so just do a clean install [16:33] sudobash: Not with gparted I think, but with the tune2fs command [16:33] ahhh i see [16:33] clean install [16:33] sebsebseb: from power on to login? [16:33] ha1331_: not sure exactly, but it's quicker than when I was running Ext3 and the install I just mentioned [16:34] i have to install windows dual boot anyways cause my friends want me back on steam [16:34] ha1331_: very quick [16:34] but if i run sudo apt-get update, seems openoffice never touch why? [16:34] i hate windows [16:34] sudobash: I've heard steam works well with wine [16:34] someone can help? [16:34] try2free now try sudo apt-get upgrade [16:34] it does but not on this PC [16:34] fps sucks [16:34] it works well in wine though [16:34] very well [16:35] sudobash: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [16:35] sudobash: some people say, Linux is for Windows haters, and BSD is for Unix lovers. Ubuntu is actsaully also more Windows like than a lot of the other distros. [16:35] sudobash: yes i try that way, but nothing todo with new line 'openoffice' [16:35] sebsebseb: just joined in, hasn't been following the discussion. Just curious. Mine takes less than 10s, was just curious. Using ext3 tho [16:35] yeah I run OpenBSD [16:35] sudobash: seems like never execute [16:35] ha1331_: yeah it's about 10 seconds and I am on the log in screen [16:35] go into synaptic and look to see what repos you have set [16:35] I love BSD [16:36] sebsebseb: tho most of the time is waiting for the grub. After that it's like 3-4s [16:36] ha1331_: yeah [16:36] Ubuntu insn't like windows its just wine is so good now its not even funny..... Ubuntu is just debian with some tweaks and patches [16:36] try2free, http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Install-OpenOffice-org-3-1-on-Ubuntu-9-04-111105.shtml [16:36] !offtopic [16:36] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [16:36] are professions of love and hate actually for this channel? [16:36] sudobash: you can run Steam in Wine it seems [16:36] running ssd for the system, that's why I was asking [16:36] Im now on ubuntu using ah MODEM [16:37] And it works, but not the wired [16:37] cabrey: thanks, i'll take a look [16:37] yes I have it installed already in wine... I am saying I get crappy fps on this PC so I am going to dual boot [16:37] It just says "Wired disconnected" [16:37] steam->wine = resource hog [16:38] which means low fps for linux if you are on a PC with crappy vid card or crappy FSB [16:38] !who [16:38] As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [16:38] JbCrash: Ext4 on 64bit is probably better than on 32bit. right ok Vista was installed first, that will be sda1 I expect [16:38] or both in my case lol I am on my girl friends linux pc [16:38] i try to get SCIM (installed through synaptic) to run but using ctrl+space (my trigger in the setup and also the default one afaik) doesn't do a thing, what did I do wrong? [16:39] Its is a great PC for what she needs and does and she actually LOVES ubuntu and hates windows [16:39] !offtopic | sudobash [16:39] sudobash: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [16:40] Is there way to go from ext3 to ext4 on system disk without reinstall? [16:40] dont typo LjL Ill be waiting [16:40] ha1331_: I doubt it. [16:40] sudobash: *that* is also offtopic for here. [16:40] ha1331_: you can convert Ext3 to Ext4, but you only get some of the Ext4 functionality [16:40] no one needs help [16:41] sudobash: Do you have a support question? If not, #ubuntu-offtopic exists for idle chatter. [16:41] ha1331_: as a result if doing Ext4, it's best to make new partitions [16:41] If I click the "source code" button in Software sources, does that mean I will also recieve the source code of programs I download? If so, Where is it stored? [16:41] ha1331 someone earlier like 2 min ago said tune2fs can convert but it is not a true EXT4 install [16:41] Joeseph: No, only if you try to install a source package manually. [16:41] sudobash: yep it's not [16:41] sudobash: I even read a good article about Ext4 :) that explained loads of stuff [16:41] cool post it I like a good linux read [16:42] tiyowan: seems to me I need to reinstall then.

[17:43] and he leaves so I message two of the wrong guests, whooops, oh well [17:43] norpan: It's your networking settings that are misconfigured.

[17:49] panfist, have you tried ssh -X and then gnome-session? [17:49] sebsebseb, but, i download and install it using ubuntu-tweak software [17:49] Anyone here known with aircrack-ng?

[17:50] tiyowan: also i cant see any wireless networks on ubuntu, maybe there is something wierd with the drivers?' [17:50] silverglade00 unfortunately i'm SSHing from a windows machine at work... [17:50] unitedpotsmokers: hummmm I woudn't even recomend ubuntu-tweak I think, because well nevermind [17:50] unitedpotsmokers: Google them [17:50] |thomson|, when i run airodump-ng, [17:50] <|thomson|> yes [17:50] norpan: Can you do this for me? Boot into windows, connect to the internet, surf around for a while, boot back into Ubuntu, try connecting to the internet from Ubuntu, open a terminal, type dmesg > pastebin.log, ifconfig > pastebin2.log, route > pastebin3.log, and pastebin the results of those three files please?

[17:52] how do you list devices connected from the terminal? [17:52] tiyowan: yes but only with my 3g USB modem, not ethernet [17:53] sebsebseb: When downloading with Firefox , sometimes it hangs (like at 20% , 30% , any random %) , dunnot whats causing it [17:53] Raven: lspci for PCI devices, and lsusb for USB devices.

[17:54] sebsebseb: Any suggestion for something like firefox ? [17:54] any advice on whether to try 64-bit versus standard 32 bit ? [17:55] hi all. is there a difference between installing xubuntu vs installing ubuntu-server and then apt-get installing xubuntu-desktop? [17:55] sebsebseb: not really , can you gimme any pointers ? [17:55] linnoob: you should see one of the partitions as ntfs file system? [17:55] ashmew2: Epiphany and Galeon, because they use the same rendering engine, plus they are made for Gnome [17:55] ashmew2: so you don't know about the hidden folders in home? [17:55] hi [17:55] dalekleader, yup - If you like I can post screen shot ? [17:55] scales11: using server can have some issues.. if you want a desktop system.. use xubuntu cd is best. [17:55] sebsebseb: k , ill look into Galeon , ive run Epiphany but didnt really like it for some reasons. I know about hidden folders , do i check .firefox ? [17:55] i've a problem with synaptic and add/remove programs [17:55] ashmew2: view > show hidden files and folders [17:56] i've googled, but found nothing useful [17:56] ashmew2: in Home. you can do view list, and press by type, for nice alphabetical order by type [17:56] Again cause I disconnected, can one install a virus over wine? I just thought about it and now I am curious. Is the trade off of being able to use windows programs worth the risk of potential viruses? [17:56] ashmew2: .mozilla [17:56] i haven't got synaptic in menu [17:56] sebsebseb: Yeah , Ctrl + H , ok im inside .mozilla [17:56] linnoob: ok, no need, just make a mental note of the partition number should be something like sda1 [17:56] tiyowan: http://paste.ubuntu.com/190998/ [17:56] it's gone [17:56] sebsebseb: firefox> profiles.ini ? [17:56] ashmew2: .mozilla is your Firefox profile, you can more with cut or delete it, and then when you open Firefox again you will be using a new profile [17:56] Seems to be major problems in 9.04 mounting external drives, anyone know how to get one to show on the desktop? It now appears in /media as a folder with the label name, but not on the Desktop, and I have to use GParted to unmount it. [17:57] ashmew2: the whole of .mozilla is your Firefox profile [17:57] sebsebseb: it will delete all cookies , saved passes etc etc ? [17:57] ashmew2: yes if you delete it, but you can move it [17:57] dalekleader, ok - yea it's sda1 [17:57] Dr_Willis: i wouldnt just install server. i just wanted a way to test boot speed vs desktop manager. i am using vanilla ubuntu for the moment but when i tried xubuntu i didnt see any real speed difference. (i have an eee 1000he) [17:57] tiyowan: ok? [17:57] sebsebseb: Ok , ill just cut and paste it somewhere else and restart firefox [17:57] tiyowan: ive send im PM cus i do alot of other things and my name does not get highlighted [17:57] bro? why pidgin can't connect with yahoo? [17:57] ashmew2: yep ok [17:57] now, you will want to make a folder to mount too. type sudo mkdir /media/windows [17:57] Dr_Willis: also overall performance vs desktop manager [17:57] bump [17:57] ashmew2: it will be hidden wherever you move it to as well [17:57] does anybody see me? [17:58] ryniek: yes [17:58] yea ryniek [17:58] thx : ) [17:58] hi, i'm trying to get rid of totem in firefox: if I download some media with downloadstatusbar enabled, and I double click it, it opens totem even if the default player for that filetype is smplayer [17:58] Is there an apt meta-package of sorts that ONLY applies security updates? [17:58] sebsebseb: Yeah , thanks for the info man , ill get back to you if problem persists..Thanks for your time :D [17:58] does anybody had the same problem with synaptic? [17:58] ashmew2: ok np [17:58] cya later guys , ill be back! :) [17:58] bye [17:58] what with your synaptic? [17:58] soundstream6: Thx, wait one.

Boot into Windows, try connecting to the Internet, note down the -exact- error msg, and tell me what it says. [18:04] yes i did [18:04] soundstream6: You have a LiveCD handy right in case this doesn't work?

[18:05] gprs cdma. [18:06] dien: ok i am a little confused.

[18:07] fccf: yes I know, but I meant other people that have asked me how to remove the Wine shorcuts in the past, and there will be more in the future I expect.

[18:25] Buddykaru are you on ubuntu right now or no? [18:26] sebsebseb: the guide talks about the 'live' usb installation.. what i want is a persistent installation [18:26] Devilsprey99, you used the word MIRRORURL instead of an actual mirror? [18:26] sielk: yes, running 8.10 [18:26] bkraptor: aptitude is better for bigger stuff, because it deals better with dependancies. apt-get you can use as well, and yes synaptic the gui for apt-get [18:26] wtf [18:26] buddykaru: ok not my area [18:26] !language | goose [18:26] goose: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.

The CD's are old ISO's of ubuntu. When I am unable to remove the cd without rebooting, I try to force the device to unmount with umount -f /media/cdrom and cdrom0....this does not work and I get a message saying "Failed to eject "/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/storage_model_DVD_RW_TS_L632H." Other cd's eject w/ [18:27] o problem.

Choose one that is close to home. [18:27] sebsebseb: I've been advised by the debian folks over at #debian to not use both aptitude and apt-get [18:28] bkraptor: right, but that's Debian [18:28] bkraptor: apt-get for smaler stuff, aptitude for bigger stuff [18:28] Flannel, any reason you told ubottu to PM me about my away message? [18:28] sebsebseb: define "bigger" and "smaller" please :) [18:28] bkraptor: that's what I do, and it works fine in Ubuntu, oh yeah and Synaptic for stuff I am not sure the name of :d yeah I could apt-get cache search or whatever, but Synaptic is ok [18:29] Hello I'm having a problem, yesterday night my wireless stopped working(Wpa key on) other free access points in the neighbourhood allow me to connect. In windows I can connect to mine ....(yes...it came with computer ) what can I do? [18:29] I removed the AP preferences and it's still the same [18:29] goose: Your nick changes when you're away (goose|zZz), If you have an away message above that, we have no qualms with that. [18:29] hey [18:29] bkraptor, aptitude is better for everything, but you can use whatever you want [18:29] no [18:29] bkraptor: the big stuff like kubuntu-desktop and xubuntu-desktop it's probably better to install with aptitude really [18:29] sebsebseb: Why? [18:29] has anyone run ubuntu completely from a usb drive? i mean the fully customized installation?? [18:30] yes buddykaru [18:30] Pici: ,because it deals with dependancies better than apt-get ? [18:30] hi everyone...it's my first time here. i hope to be able to help as much as I ask.:-) [18:30] fosco__: I'm not asking which is better, I am aware aptitude is more complex, but I am also using synaptic a lot so I was wondering if there is any advice against using aptitude with synaptic [18:30] not 9.04 but I tested once with 8.04 [18:30] !ask rt1970 [18:30] Sorry, I don't know anything about ask rt1970 [18:30] buddykaru: yes [18:30] i've got a strange problem. i'm trying to find the twhirl icon [18:30] bkraptor, nothing to worry about [18:30] antibody: i'm referring to a persistent install.. not using usb-creator and stuff [18:30] but there aren't any icons in the icons file. [18:30] has anyone found a replacement for something like Dragon Naturally Speaking for Ubuntu? I have a coworker who could free themselves from microsoft if there was something similarly available. Thanks [18:30] sebsebseb: Neither should work with dependencies better than the other. They're both fine to use for anything. [18:30] yes buddykaru [18:30] the hell with this, then. I didn't realize it was spamming the channel to do a nick change 6 hours after my last nick change. Later. [18:30] the files are kept in usb key [18:30] has anyone else had this problem? [18:30] funny, the debian folks were all paranoid about using both apt-* and aptitude [18:31] antibody: can you pls. share some links with me [18:31] I had problems get nvidia drivers to work.. I had to load manually every time [18:31] i'll have to research them [18:31] ehehe [18:31] How long should Gparted take/ [18:31] Trying to reproduce an error message to post here [18:31] you tell me ;) [18:31] bkraptor: yeah and I think one of the ideas was to replace apt-get in Debian with aptitude, but don't think it happended exactly in the end [18:31] soundstream6: Do you have a LiveCD with you? [18:31] antibody: and publish release one, lol [18:31] !aptitude [18:31] the icons should be at opt/twhirl/icons/twhirl-48.png [18:31] aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. Like other APT front-ends, it can install/remove packages and their dependencies (on Dapper and earlier, however, only aptitude keeps track of unused dependencies). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptitudeSurvivalGuide [18:31] yes [18:31] sebsebseb, aptitude is a front-end of apt-get [18:31] http://www.pendrivelinux.com/ubuntu-810-persistent-flash-drive-install-from-live-cd/ [18:32] or whatever png file, but they're not there. the icon folder is empty [18:32] Titan8990: No, aptitude is a frontend to apt. apt-get is also a frontend to apt. [18:32] bkraptor: probably out of the two aptitude is better, but apt-get should do it [18:32] hello [18:32] I have a problem with gDesklets [18:32] so no hints about my wireless problem? [18:32] this is pissing me off badly [18:32] sebsebseb: I'm used to apt-get and was wondering whether the effort for getting used to aptitude is worth it [18:32] btw..what's the option to force fscheck to run in next boot? [18:33] HI [18:33] bkraptor: if you type in aptitude in the terminal you get a nice little terminal app, but it dosen't really need to be used [18:33] omg i need serious help with downloads hanging issue...Firefox was hanging , now wget is hanging as well [18:33] which thing I can do when my computer freezes, mouse can move, program still runs, but cannot click on any icon, keyboard do nothing? [18:33] antibody: sudo touch /forcefsck [18:33] hey sebsebseb , wget is hanging as well..

[18:34] I guess i'll try a reboot in my pc and AP for the wireless :( [18:34] is someone still having problems with video tearing and ati cards (ubuntu 9.04 x64, ati latest catalyst) [18:34] sebsebseb : any ways to find out what it is ? i mean any way at all.. ? [18:34] I had to go to windows last night, guess that [18:34] ok [18:34] ashmew2: well I guess I can't really help, so try your issue here again [18:34] k thx man [18:34] hello?

[18:35] Icebreaker: open terminal and type in GDesklets, enter [18:35] soundstream6: If you're willing to take the risk, you could try running the two commands, sudo apt-get --purge remove nividia*, then sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-legacy. [18:35] which thing I can do when my computer freezes, mouse can move, program still runs, but cannot click on any icon, keyboard do nothing? [18:35] apt-get vs. aptitude? They both work fine, if you are not installing everything under the sun, you will never really have any problems. In my experience that is. [18:35] koichirose, yep getting better but still tearing [18:36] on terminal rite? [18:36] ctmjr: :( seems incredible that they work on 3D and features and they don't solve this immediately [18:36] bash: /usr/bin/gdesklets: /usr/bin/python2.5: bad interpreter: No such file or directory [18:36] thats the error i get [18:36] if i type gdesklets [18:37] whatvn, an emergency solution, hold Alt+PrintScreen and type REISUB, it will do a clean reboot [18:38] fosco__: hummm didn't know that, maybe i'll try it sometime [18:38] soundstream6: Yep.

[18:40] Icebreaker: maybe gdesklet's error [18:40] swayed: flikr if you get an account I suppouse, photobucket maybe [18:40] soundstream6: If you're willing to take the risk, you could try running the two commands, sudo apt-get --purge remove nvidia*, then sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-legacy. [18:40] ctmjr: yeah, I have a 4850, actually I don't care that much about 3d acceleration.... will it fix the tearing problem for sure?

[18:42] swayed: i see alot of people using tinypic [18:42] DanDan: simple by knowing if you have a 64bit proccessor or not [18:42] soundstream6: It's sudo apt-get --purge remove nvidia*, my mistake. There's an extra i. [18:42] an intel Centrino Duo is considered as a 64bit im guessing ? [18:42] DanDan: No. [18:42] Where is the user password and log in information kept? [18:42] sebsebseb, I used another one that was pretty good but real similar to imageshack but can't find my bookmark for it. [18:43] DanDan: Only the Core Duo/Core 2 Duo line is 64 bit I believe.

[18:51] [CERT], I heard that the medibuntu repo includes google earth, but I haven't tried it myself.

[18:53] * whatvn sleeps! [18:54] topgun21, thats silly 64 bit is better.

[18:56] anyhow my question is how do i make it bootabale iso [18:56] DanDan, it's entirely up to personal preference ... these days you shouldn't have any problems when it comes to 64 bit aplications ... things have matured A LOT of the past 2 or 3 years as far as that goes.

[18:58] Artemis3 : .. I only have 2GHz of ram .. as I've been told it wouldnt make a difference in my case [18:58] anyone know that guide im talking about [18:58] well only if you need 32 bit binaries, then you can use the compatibility libs [18:58] ubunto live cd toram [18:58] mainstream for future ref there is a channel /join #xchat but it is in the settings and config [18:59] ok thanks [18:59] Artemis3 : .. thank you for urs advise [18:59] :D [18:59] again thank you all for the help :D [18:59] it should be like 5% faster there DanDan [18:59] but thats ok [18:59] i dont see a /boot/grub/menu.lst file at all in the live cd [18:59] i install 64bit even with 1gb, main reason, you can always upgrade your ram and no need to reinstall everything [18:59] so i dont think i need to make one if it never had one to begin with [19:00] can some one help me whid mrtg ? l get strange reading from eth0 . send me a msg if you can help me [19:00] !ask > boris] [19:00] boris], please see my private message [19:00] en1gma: there isn't a menu.lst because the live cd isn't using grub [19:00] !enter | en1gma [19:00] en1gma: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!

[19:31] hey can anyone help me with a weird error I get when mounting my nokia cellphone? [19:31] have tried 6 differnet linux distros for 64bit so far they all better than vista :) [19:31] davidh38: it is slightly better configured at the start... nice color scheme, smaller interface, comes with gnome-do and some codecs.... but that is like 10 min to fix in ubuntu, if it comes to that [19:31] rallEy4, that might be the problem, it is `uname -r` not 'uname -r' [19:31] cabrey: it loads the module, but that interface doesn't exist. [19:32] davidh38, yeah it should be possible [19:32] davidh38, nothing special really [19:32] or any suggestions for OCR program for intrepid would be helpful [19:32] !anyone |randomn3ss [19:32] randomn3ss: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [19:32] rallEy4, are you relying on that module for network? [19:32] cabrey: no, it is my kernel release. The only one that exists. [19:32] I googled it but couldn't come up with anything [19:32] dmesg gives me FAT: invalid media value (0x3b [19:32] cabrey: Yes. [19:33] deco: well i think i am gonna try it [19:33] cheers for help, dloading proper ubuntu64, cheers for fs tip, will give it a go.. [19:33] rallEy4, do you have another computer you can use? because you can remove the module while the system is on [19:33] davidh38, yeah try it, than if you like well keep on using it :P [19:33] cabrey: I could go back through the process, and document the exact messages if that would help. [19:33] Elkhorn: something you may want to be aware of though is this, if you resize it might get some issue [19:33] Elkhorn: otherwise with a clean install should be fine, check out the release notes for a bit more about what I am refering to. [19:34] !notes | Elkhorn [19:34] Elkhorn: Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) release notes can be found here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyJackalope/ReleaseNotes [19:34] pajones: Nothing happened. fccf: http://pastebin.com/d62603a50 [19:34] randomn3ss: does the phone have a microSD in it ... you might have better luck just mounting the SD [19:34] Hey [19:34] ya it is a microSD [19:34] rallEy4, ok to remove the module, sudo rmmod rt2870sta, then try sudo modprobe rt2870sta and see if the interface is there [19:34] but I don't have a SD slot on my computer so.... [19:34] Can someone help me on dual-booting ubuntu onto vista 64? [19:34] cabrey: Currently, I do not have my laptop with me, so this is my other computer ATM. [19:34] davidh38: bad news... it takes a nasty hack to free firefox from the ugly "custom" mint search results page that gives them money per hit [19:34] I tried hexediting it to a real value [19:34] but then it just corrupted the filesystem so I switched it back [19:34] hey guys, I'm having a problem right now w/ my eeepc + eeebuntu. I'm hoping my question will still be reasonable. Sometimes (I'd say it's 50/50), when I start it up, I get this message: 'Your home directory is listed as: '/home/amy' but it does not appear to exist.' [...] I can switch to VT1 and see that indeed, /dev/sdb1 is not automounted like it should be. Any ideas on troubelshooting this? [19:34] Revelation: onto Vista? [19:34] sometimes it *does* work [19:35] cabrey: *only [19:35] Hello. I just installed Ubuntu Server 9.04. During the install there was an option to turn auto-updates on, which I did. My question is, is there anyway to check when auto-updates last ran and/or is there a way to make it run manually? [19:35] Revelation: you mean a virtual machine? or an actsaul daul boot with a boot loader? [19:35] note that I'm using an sd card for /home [19:35] rallEy4, oh so you can't test anything right now? [19:35] F-3000: you have a radeon see !ati [19:35] Erm im not sure Just so I have ubuntu and vista on the computer [19:35] i believe its called dual-booting [19:35] !ati |F-3000 [19:35] F-3000: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [19:35] Revelation: yep it is [19:35] the fstab line for it is: /dev/sdb1 /home ext3 relatime 0 1 [19:35] mmk [19:35] kazagistar, oh yeah the nast search , that was so lame of them to do that [19:35] cabrey: not live, I will have to shutdown and go through those steps. [19:35] sebsebseb gimmie a tut =D [19:35] Revelation: the other thing that can be done is run the other OS inside a virtual machine, but in that case, really Windows is better as a guest than as a host, unless your 3D Windows gaming or some such [19:35] rallEy4, why would you have to shut down? [19:36] excellent! many thanks, will read up on it and have a go. :) I normally use DBAN to wipe drives before new installs, so should be good, will check out FS notes :) many thanks. [19:36] cabrey: That will not be a problem though. I will try what you said. [19:36] Revelation: only thing with VIsta is that you need to let it resize itself [19:36] what do you mean? [19:36] cabrey: I may not have to, but that's the only way that I know to simulate the problem. [19:36] Revelation: otherwise dataloss might happen. then dual booting as normal [19:36] trying to configure ; make a package in intrepid. giving me parser errors/command not found. what's the best toolkit for making binaries from source? [19:36] rallEy4, you don't have to reboot to remove the module from the kernel [19:37] FAT: invalid media value (0x3b) when mounting a Nokia. Anyone have an idea? [19:37] Revelation: are you on Vista right now? [19:37] yeah [19:37] Revelation: ok good [19:37] randomn3ss: USB SD card adaptors are really really cheap ... like $5 - consider getting one [19:37] cabrey: okay, but I will have to disconnect in the mean time. [19:37] rallEy4, lsmod will list all the modules currently loaded, rmmod will remove one [19:37] sebsebseb ill pm you [19:37] Revelation: and on an ubuntu channel... tsk tsk tsk.. ;) [19:37] Revelation: right click computer and go to disk management [19:37] Revelation: why pm can do this here [19:37] fccf: I have ATI drivers installed and in use.

[19:40] cabrey: It shows eth0, lo, pan0, ra0 [19:40] Revelation: if when resizing and you don't put in a size, it will probably make it as small as it can go [19:40] Revelation: yeah Computer Management, I am not on Vista right now ;) [19:40] :) [19:40] Why a /home partition on an sdcard would someones be listed as 'not found' and not mounted? [19:40] does ubuntu keep an installation log of an initial install? [19:40] sebsebseb should I backup stuff first? [19:40] Revelation: no need to [19:40] cabrey: but see, after I rebooted trying to let /etc/modules load it, the ra0 interface is gone. [19:40] ok [19:40] rallEy4, ok use rmmod to remove rt2870sta (this will disconnect you), run ifconfig -a again [19:40] Revelation: if it goes wrong, which is unlikely, but if it does you really can blame Microsoft, because then it really is there fault [19:41] ok [19:41] rallEy4, then rmmod it again, then insmod rt2870sta.ko to get back here [19:41] Revelation: since it's there tool and everything [19:41] cabrey: okay [19:41] geirha thanks that was just what i needed to get started [19:41] sebsebseb now what [19:41] Alright i am still trying to Format this NTFS partition, when i unmount it, it causes GParted to hang any ideas?

If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [20:55] jblombaard: Link? if you tell me the package you are trying to use - I might be able to tell you an ubuntu alternative [20:55] Myrtti: Thank you, this is exactly what I needed! And I'm not even running standard ubuntu. [20:55] fccf: http://devzone.mxit.com/libPurple/downloads/3/ [20:55] There's a 32 bit deb, but im on 64 bit. [20:56] i've got a desktop i'm thinking about installing Ubuntu on and was wondering how stable the 64bit version would be on an intel dp45sg motherboard with a QX6850 processor [20:56] !chroot [20:56] chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot) [20:56] Is there a command to lock the screen from the terminal? [20:56] I finally got this HD to format from Ntfs to EXT3 so um lol dub question but how to i set it so i can access it, i am brand new to linux, i am look at my other driver under place>my computer>filesystem but i can't see this second drive [20:56] I get a black screen (mouse cursor showing) after login on a fresh install of jaunty. I have a ati radeon mobility 7500 .. Anyone who could help? [20:57] Hello. Having problem with read only HD. [20:57] nevermind, found it through google. I'm a jerk. [20:57] To get live cd to run this often helps..At start or install press F4 and select safe graphics mode then press F6 and remove Quiet and Splash from the command line. If it still fails.. Repeat and after removing quiet and splash use the noapic acpi=off options before the "--" [20:57] Anyone able to help? Brand new drive. Just formatted. [20:58] declanpwalsh did you format it from a livecd [20:58] :) [20:58] no from (k)ubuntu but tried it in mint(gnome) too [20:58] hatter243: nice, would you care to share your findings? [20:58] Better from livecd? [20:58] once configured, if i do sudo /etc/init.d/tor start and sudo /etc/init.d/privoxy start, both run, and configure my browser to proxy http through 127.0.0.1, how do i figure out why its not working? [20:58] Sarago: I have intel chipset [20:59] Is there a way to change the color of the brownish bar atop of every window? [20:59] jblombaard: I am not sure the 64 bit version of ubuntu has a 64bit version of pidgin/purple - if that is the case using the 32bit deb won't matter [20:59] guntbert, I am trying to write a script that will pause music when I lock the screen and unpause it when I unlock. Step 1) gnome-screensaver-command --lock will lock the screen from the terminal [20:59] cabrey: I'm going through troubleshooting now. [20:59] cabrey: thank you. [20:59] i know my question was more of a tor question then a ubuntu question, but i am still new to ubuntu so not sure how to diagnose the problem with tor myself [20:59] hatter243: Use mpd. [20:59] hatter243: thanks, good to remember :-) [20:59] Guest360: Right-click on the desktop and choose themes [21:00] cabrey: not sure why I'm having so much trouble. It worked out of the box when I installed jaunty before. [21:00] nathan7, nah, I'm just using rhythmbox for now and rhythmbox-client --pause does what I need it to. No need to look into new players [21:00] godzirra, thats interesting, did you install anything? [21:00] After a fresh install I get a black screen after login, but the mousecursor is showing. It works with a livecd. I have a laptop with a ati radeon mobility 7500 [21:00] hello, when I start thunderbird it closes automatically again, when I try to do it with terminal it does the same and says "segmentation fault" what can I do? [21:00] Once you format a new Drive using GParted, how do you gain access to it, i only see my original HD thats running the Ubuntu OS [21:00] How may I change the channel used on a wireless network card under Ubuntu? [21:00] declanpwalsh http://paste.ubuntu.com/191107/ May be of help [21:00] hatter243: =0 [21:01] hatter243: Nice. [21:01] Guest360: Right-click on the desktop - choose change desktop background* - then theme [21:01] Is there a utility that I can install to monitor network usage? vnstat is showing transfers (Rx) of roughly 2GB/day, but the only network apps I have running are mutt, w3m and ssh... [21:01] cabrey: I formatted and did a fresh install. After that, I added boxee, ran the apt-get update and apt-get upgrade and installed the ATI restricted driver it suggested. Thats it. [21:01] tunnlrat: Hmm, reboot. [21:01] ryanakca: Ifconfig? [21:01] Good Idea nathan7 lol i'll try that [21:01] leave [21:02] nathan7: ... ifconfig, doesn't that only configure my network interfaces instead of printing usage information? I don't care about how much is being used in total, I want to know what is using how much. [21:02] fccf: I kinda tried everything. "dpkg -i --force-architecture" installed it, but the program didn't work. It looks like the app was ported to deb with alien. The makefile is RPM specific :-( I will just keep googling [21:02] ryanakca: It does show stats [21:02] troopperi: are you running 32bit or 64bit [21:02] !chroot > jblombaard [21:02] jblombaard, please see my private message [21:02] nathan7: But not per application [21:02] ryanakca: use `netstat` to see the list of open network connections [21:02] Sarago: 32-bit === chaky_ is now known as chaky [21:02] ryanakca: Yeah. [21:02] hello, when I start thunderbird it closes automatically again, when I try to do it with terminal it does the same and says "segmentation fault" what can I do? [21:02] ryanakca: you want to have a look at iptraf [21:02] guntbert: thanks [21:02] should I go with 32bit or is 64bit stable [21:03] aaditya: Yes, I usually use -plant as an option, si there a way to show how much each app is using though? [21:03] ryanakca: welcome :-) [21:03] !64bit | Sarago [21:03] Sarago: AMD64 and EMT64 are fully supported architectures on Ubuntu. See http://tinyurl.com/3jkole and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amd64 for more information. [21:03] Jack_Sparrow: I disabled the proposed repository, removed the three meta packages that were broken (reinstall failed), and installed them again, which seemed to fix it. Thanks. [21:04] tmetro Glad you are back up and running [21:04] thanks for letting me know [21:04] cabrey: I'm booting with the linux cd to see if I get sound fresh off. [21:04] From the boot cd. [21:04] godzirra, good idea [21:04] Bram_P: are there any messages (apart from seg fault)? [21:04] ryanakca: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/network-traffic-analyzers-for-ubuntu-system.html [21:04] Must be something off in proposed...but I gets that's to be expected on occasion. [21:04] I am trying to scp a file into a certain directory. Is this right? scp filename host:folderdir ? [21:05] resno: yes [21:05] guntbert: no there aren't [21:05] aaditya: sweet, i am getting better with termianl commands :) [21:05] resno: that's good [21:05] aaditya: thanks [21:05] tmetro Are you still here, could you restate the original symptoms so I can make a note for it [21:06] cabrey: no sound. :/ [21:06] ryanakca: you're welcome [21:06] godzirra, blah this sounds like an ALSA issue, so try bringing it to #alsa [21:07] Jack_Sparrow: see http://paste.ubuntu.com/191097/ for full statement of the symptoms. [21:07] I don't know why a reinstall from the same cd would cause problems. [21:07] Its very odd. [21:07] i'm going to boot into win7 to make sure its not a hardware speaker issue [21:07] Bram_P: a quick test: rename your profile, and try again [21:08] Bram_P: the problem could be caused by the presence of scim [21:08] how do i view a processing running in the background? [21:08] hey guys, what's a good RSS feed reader for Ubuntu - GTK/Gnome based [21:08] Bram_P: try uninstalling "scim" [21:08] hi [21:08] i tried top but the process i am looking for is not listed, so i assume top doesnt show background stuff [21:08] Dist`: top? from terminal [21:08] Hello. I just upgraded from Gutsy to Hardy, 8.04. Everything worked fairly well expect the sound. I have searched for approximately 2 full days now, so I have looked for a solution already posted. It seems like my box isn't detecting a sound card. When I run " lspci -v | grep -i audio" I get " Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller", so it seems the Hardware is there, but when I run "asoundconf list" I g [21:08] et nothing listed. I have a Nvidia graphics card, though I don't know why that should matter. Thanks for any help. [21:09] Dist`: ctrl - esc [21:09] Okay. Not a hardware problem at least. [21:09] Dist`: Mean ctrl + esc [21:09] cabrey: Thakns. i'll try in #alsa. [21:09] anyone here, who can help me getting conky running on 9.04? I cannot get any wlan stats [21:09] tmetro ty [21:10] Dist`: on the console type ps aux|less [21:10] Dist`: background as in? [21:11] hi, is there an up-to-date Tablet PC compatibility guide for (K)Ubuntu? [21:11] Hello, I have a bunch of txt files, how do I make one big txt file by joining all the txt files? [21:11] background as in, i started tor and privoxy, it said its running, yet its not working, and when i try look at running processes i cant see it even listed as running [21:11] ctrl esc didnt seem to do anything [21:11] Dist`: ps -ef | grep tor [21:11] syn-fin: for i in *.txt; do cat $i >> result.all; done [21:12] Is there a package manager for TeX/LaTeX I can get from the ubuntu repositories? Or does synaptic have such packages in there somewhere? [21:12] any idea why this happens at every boot? --> ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready [21:12] puchacz: is that a bash command? [21:12] 64bit computers with 4GB RAM, how much SWAP should they have? [21:12] resno: yes [21:13] 8GB [21:13] Mike_lifeguard: there are a lot of tex/latex related packages in the repositories, i'm not sure what you're thinking about specifically though [21:13] puchacz: thanks, will try in a minute [21:13] puchacz: ah, thanks. [21:13] sebsebseb, 8g if you want to hibernate [21:13] mark23564: why? [21:13] Mike_lifeguard: "apt-cache search latex" shows quite a bit. [21:13] frostburn: ok yeah the double the RAM for hibernate thing [21:13] sebsebseb generally I would say 4 [21:13] LjL: Well, I found a metapackage with a bunch of crap in it... but I want to specifically install/uninstall/whatever individual latex packages [21:13] sebseb: read up on it yesterday - swap 2 x RAM [21:13] syn-fin, puchacz: make sure you quote $i, like "$i" [21:13] Back again with another noob question, how do i set permissions on my new drive so i can copy files to it??? [21:13] I used to have a graphical package manager that came with MiKTeX on Windows, but I can't find anything similar for linux [21:14] mark23564 up to 4 gig is a rule of thumb [21:14] tunnlrat: chmod [21:14] tunnlrat: `chmod` [21:14] Mike_lifeguard: ? [21:14] Mike_lifeguard: so do it? "apt-cache depends name-of-that-metapackage" will show every package it depends on, then you can handle those separately. [21:14] tunnlrat: and `chown` [21:14] !man [21:14] The "man" command brings up the Linux manual pages for the command you're interested in. Try "man intro" at the command line, or see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [21:14] Is there a way to change the color of the brownish bar atop of every window? [21:14] aaditya: thanks [21:14] !man woman [21:14] Sorry, I don't know anything about man woman [21:14] thanks for the help everyone. still having problems i cant seem to solve so ill just have to use windows for this. good thing i decided to keep my windows install as a dual boot :D [21:15] ubottu: man woman is Segmentation fault.

Finally, check to see if it worked by doing another ls -la to verify the [21:15] permissions are set [21:15] drat [21:15] LjL: thanks - that helps for this metapackage I guess [21:15] Sorry to all [21:15] is the awesome wm really awesome?

[21:24] is there a fix to the lockups that happen when deleting files on ext4? [21:24] uzr, the same way you shout in email and IM...caps [21:24] uzr: THIS IS SHOUTING. This is talking. :) [21:25] how do you ignore joins/parts [21:25] uskrewed, not in jaunty yet, i dont think...though i'm beginning to feel i'm the only person who hasn't experienced them [21:25] to many people leaving [21:25] uzr, depends on your client [21:25] womp womp [21:25] do I have to switch to ext3? [21:25] epic? [21:25] is there any way to switch without losing all my data? [21:26] uskrewed: switch from what to what? [21:26] uskrewed, i think downgrading's possible [21:26] from ext4 to ext3 [21:26] ah, there's no way to convert ext4 -> ext3, so far as I know [21:26] Hello! is it possible to burn mp3's to a dvd? [21:26] unless it's new [21:27] there wasn't back at fosdem [21:27] the lockups are killing me... I've just switched from windows with high expectations and now my computer locks up almost everytime I delete a file [21:27] hello, how to check what version of ubuntu I am running? [21:27] puchacz: lsb_release -a [21:27] ikonia: thanks [21:27] i accidentally ran sudo rm -rf /. but cancelled it right after can i reboot my box to get it back [21:28] uskrewed: if there is room on the ext4 ... shrink it ... then make a ext3 to copy onto... although I haven't tried - could be super experimental [21:28] !danger [21:28] DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND That particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here. REST OF YOU: DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER! Do not use the command or utter it here thank you! [21:28] uzr: no. [21:28] is ubuntu stored on the swap or ext4 partition? [21:28] because I don't want to lose the OS part of the hardrive, everything I can move to another HD to backup [21:29] uskrewed: ext4 is /very/ new - I wouldn't recommend using it yet [21:29] uskrewed: swap is for swap - ext4 is for your filesystem [21:29] hehe, all the people in #ubuntu on efnet suggested it >_< [21:29] how do you accidentally run sudo rm -rf ?? if you ran sudo, then you would have been askded for your password... or was it placed maliciously into a set of command you copied and pasted? [21:29] uskrewed: i'm having a lot of probs... dont use ext4... [21:30] IamDaveMyers: If you just did sudo then it won't ask for your password again for a while [21:30] okies... well thanks I guess I have to fresh install now [21:30] fccf: I see where he taught, but I can't find the scripts...any ideas? I am probably just missing something. [21:30] le sigh [21:30] Are there better drivers than those that come with the ubuntu installation cd? [21:30] That is why I thought it may have been maliciously inserted into a set of commands that uzr was cutting and pasting. [21:30] Guest3630: depends on what you're talking about. [21:31] hi [21:31] if uzr keeps his "personal" data on a separate partition would that have protected it? or would the partition be blighted also? [21:31] OH NO I FUCKING DELETED MY SYSTEM [21:31] Iamyou are already making an assumption here - that he is not just a troll. [21:31] Scunizi: My torrents are not downloading at appropriate rates but, direct downloads are. Could this be a driver related issue? [21:31] uzr: !language [21:31] IamDaveMyers: ^ [21:31] uzr, time for a fresh start on life [21:32] ... fair point.... [21:32] !language | uzr [21:32] uzr: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [21:32] uskrewed: you can always create an ext3 filesystem and mount it as ext4 temporarily or semi-permanently to get some performance benefits [21:32] Guest3630: could be your internet. some block that stuff [21:32] when I try to install any package with aptitude, it tries to remove a package I built with 'checkinstall' because it says it's "unused" - how do I configure that my custom package isn't any longer unused? [21:32] Okay, since I am going to have to reinstall ubuntu is there any way I can save the programs/configs I have set up now? I've had to do a bunch of googling to get the settings right and just don't want to have to go through that again [21:32] I don't know if that'd affect the lockups you refer to [21:32] Guest3630: not neccessarily.. could just be the torrents, how many are serving them up, you're connection to the torrent servers etc.. if a direct download works fine then it's not drivers [21:32] is it possible to burn mp3's to a DVD? [21:32] hi, i'd like to apply a patch to 2.6.8-rc8 kernel and I'd like to have help in the process since I never done it in ubuntu [21:32] fccf: I am asking on #ubuntu-classroom...hopefully [21:32] how aboult I go about that? [21:32] itssssssssssssss gonnnnnnnnnnnnnneeeeeeeeeeeee [21:32] theclaw: sudo aptitude unmarkauto packagename [21:32] fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk [21:33] sylvanus_: i wouldnt see why not, but why would you want to? [21:33] Guest3630: 99% of the time it's just the connection between you and whoever you're connecting to. [21:33] uskrewed: back up /etc if you made any systemwide config changes, but all of your personal stuff is in your homedir [21:33] resno: Not to be rude but, lets assume that I am of at least average intelligence. The location does not see to be a factor. [21:33] so I can listen to it on my dvd player [21:33] LjL: thanks a lot :) [21:33] Flannel, I guess he gets the doubly fresh start on life =P [21:33] ukrewed, you cold copy all of your personal home directory somewhere safe, then after your install just drop it straight back into your new home, and you will have all the same setting as they are at the moment. [21:33] fccf: found it...thanks. [21:34] thanks Flannel and IamDaveMyers. Mike_lifeguard how could I do what you are suggesting? [21:34] has anybody installed ubuntu server on a dell r710 server? i'm getting errors like "cannot find a valid memory map" [21:34] uskrewed: http://mybrainrunslinux.squarespace.com/journal/2009/3/7/how-to-setup-ubuntu-for-reinstalling-your-applications-witho.html this will save all the list of packages... [21:34] Scunnizi: With windows the download rates are much higher [21:34] uskrewed: when you mount it, just specify ext4 [21:34] should I do a separate /boot partition? and what's recommended size for swap partition? [21:34] uskrewed: sudo mount -t ext4 /dev/sda1 [21:34] Guest3630: Id didnt say aynthing about location. some internet service providers throttle torrents. which means they limit certain ports. [21:34] Sarago: seperate /boot not needed [21:34] LjL: it still says "The following packages will be REMOVED: gnome-do-plugins{u}" [21:34] Sarago: I'd recommend a separate /home partition instead of /boot... swap is 2x RAM [21:34] resno: so I can listen to them on my dvd player [21:34] I don't want it to be ext4, it's already ext4. I'm wanting to downgrade to ext3 [21:35] LjL: that is, when I try to "unmarkauto gnome-do-plugins", it says that [21:35] uskrewed: why? [21:35] resno: A different location is likely to have a different ISP and I move around alot [21:35] sylvanus_: i wouldnt see why it wouldnt work in throey. [21:35] uskrewed: yes, I meant that that would be a safer way to try ext4 in the future [21:35] Guest3630: not to be rude, but *you* asked if the difference in download speed from a web server and from torrent might be a question of "network drivers" [21:35] Mike_lifeguard: put swap at beginning of drive? [21:35] uskrewed: what's wrong with Ext4? [21:35] !logs [21:35] Official channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ - For LoCo channels, http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode/ [21:35] because my computer has been locking up whenever I delete a file [21:35] and apparently it's a problem with ext4 [21:35] it keeps telling me that it is not possible with the current set of plugins? [21:36] sebsebseb: lots of bugs with ext4... [21:36] Sarago: I forget whether it's the start or the end... you want it close to the centre of the disk for better seek times... google it to be sure [21:36] i use deluge for torrents, it gets past throttling from my isp === chaky_ is now known as chaky [21:36] Guest3630: In any case, if you can direct download fine. And bittorrent goes slower. Its either throttling or not enough seeds. Its not a driver issue. [21:36] guntbert: yes, I believe that if there was a problem with the drivers the card could struggle when dealing with many connections [21:36] might be worth looking into [21:36] should I choose burn a data? [21:36] so with 4gig of ram I should have an 8gb swap partion? [21:37] Sarago: Nah, the "2x" rule stops at around 2G and becomes "1x" [21:37] ok [21:37] theclaw: not sure why that happens. perhaps try an "install" of that package? [21:37] resno: But, why would I get faster download rates while using vista [21:37] Sarago: That's the rule of thumb. You don't need that much if you don't need to hibernate, for example. Some people recommend 2x RAM up to max 4GB [21:37] uskrewed: the lock up bug you mentioned is in the release notes [21:37] uskrewed: there's a workaround [21:37] Guest3630: ah, you never said that. well then i say nothing more. [21:37] Sarago... I put my swap at the end... I seem to recall that was where the advice said to put it. Either there or at the front, so as the read heads have the shortest distance to travel (I think that is the argument anyhow!) [21:37] Sarago: if you have disk space to space, go fer it [21:37] I didn't have the foresight to read them, sebsebseb :P [21:37] !notes | uskrewed [21:37] uskrewed: Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) release notes can be found here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyJackalope/ReleaseNotes [21:37] Guest3630: your card has always to deal with the "connection" to your router/gateway, the rest is in TCP/IP [21:38] theclaw: note that i would expect the package to get replaced by anything provided in the security ubuntu repository, because that has a higher priority (but replaced, not removed) [21:38] *just with the... [21:38] macvr: my / is in Ext4 now, and it has been working well :) [21:38] Mike_lifeguard: Hibernation does not use any ram at all. Suspend uses ram while hibernation uses HDD [21:38] LjL: thanks, that worked [21:38] jaunty won't upgrade to tar 1.22? What's the best way to exclude .git then? [21:38] uskrewed: Of course, you can always check if it's been fixed in new code - you might be able to use something closer to bleeding-edge to get it fixed if so [21:38] macvr: ended up having home in there to, since didn't mount the old Ext3 one, but that home has been working well to it seems [21:39] Will there be a problem using ubuntu if i format a ntfs drive ? [21:39] Guest3630: well obviously I know that, don't I? [21:39] sebsebseb it says "once a fix has been found" [21:39] maglev: to use as a data partition? [21:39] no to install windows onto it [21:39] uskrewed: I think you might need a later kernel [21:39] uskrewed: they probably aren't keeping those release notes quite up to date [21:40] do release notes get edited at all? [21:40] sebsebseb: i did the same, both / and home i changed to ext4... but since then i'v seen that nautilus starts to use more memory, firefox crashes... and things are random... system responsiveness is lesser than what it was with ext3 [21:40] would anyone know how to get rosetta stone iso to work on ubuntu8.10? [21:40] Mike_lifeguard: That's the rule of thumb. You don't need that much if you don't need to hibernate, for example. Some people recommend 2x RAM up to max 4GB [21:40] macvr: Firefox has been running great so far, I had problems before on Ext3 [21:40] shleep: I had to run it in VMWare [21:40] Guest3630: No shit. That's what I said. [21:40] macvr: things boot up much quicker than 9.04 with Ext3 :) [21:41] !language [21:41] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. === jason^_ is now known as jason^ [21:41] sebsebseb: boot for me was only 2 secs faster...! have u tried the e4defrag? [21:41] sebsebseb: i know i will have to fix grub after installing windows, i just wanted to know if there will be a problem with Ubuntu after the install [21:41] uskrewed: Fedora 11 arriving in 1 day and with Ext4 as the default file system, well that must mean something, but then again Fedora is more cutting edge than Ubuntu anyway [21:41] I'm just going to reinstall, I'd rather not use anything experimental for the time being. I'm new enough as is. [21:41] I didn't think you needed to defrad ext4? === cs278|laptop is now known as cs278 [21:41] well tech ically speaking anyhow! [21:42] uskrewed: Ext4 is probably more stable in other distros such as the arriving in 1 day Fedora 11 [21:42] IamDaveMyers: there is supposed to be an online defragger. It wasn't developed at the time of fosdem - dunno if it's done now [21:42] can I preorder the CD? [21:42] or dvd [21:42] is it recommened to defrag a hd in linux? [21:42] !defrag | resno [21:42] resno: The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext3) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. [21:42] linux doesnt need to be defragd [21:42] I try to play Warsow and it crashes to my desktop with a low resolution should I install the ATI driver form the ATI website? [21:42] I'll actually research it, thanks sebsebseb [21:43] be back soon >> [21:43] sebsebseb: didnt think it needed. [21:43] resno, defrag should be done "on the fly" on most of the linux file systems [21:43] uskrewed: I could find this really good article about Ext4 again :) might take a litle time though [21:43] resno: yes you don't need to defrag it [21:43] HI all... has anyone used the e4defrag? are there any guides better than http://polishlinux.org/apps/cli/ext4-defragmentation-with-e4defrag/ [21:43] but does ext4 work properly in this kernel? [21:43] IamDaveMyers: i saw the e4defrag and starting wondering. [21:44] uskrewed: might take a look at Theodore Tso's talk at fosdem [21:44] uskrewed: some are waiting for a slightly later kernel, but it has some patches in the kernel 9.04 uses at the moemnt [21:44] my laptop is running ubuntu and the wifi card doesnt work. is there a way to use a cross-over cable to my windows machine to share it's internet? [21:44] When I try to play the game Warsow, it crashes to my desktop with a low resolution should I install the ATI driver form the ATI website? [21:44] okay let's be blunt for a second. Would it be worth it to switch over to fedora? or should I just reinstall with ext3. reinstallation should only take an hour [21:45] sebsebseb: have u tried e4defrag? [21:45] infidel2sum1: yes. but you will have to config windows to make the conection. "internet sharing" [21:45] resno, I can understan that... maybe it is more "optimised". or good if you have files of particular size (some file systems have larger "blocks" and hene are better for diferent things, such as video /dvd [21:45] uskrewed: well you said you were new to Ubuntu? [21:45] yes [21:45] uskrewed: Are you having any other issues with ubuntu? that intel graphics nonsense for example? [21:45] uskrewed: I think stay with Ubuntu for now, get used to it more, find out how things work a bit better and such, then if your up for it later, well sure go a head, try out other distros such as Fedora [21:45] guys, try it LINUX MINT!!!! its awesome [21:46] somewhat, I've been having troubles with my ati radeon x1300 gfx card [21:46] !ot | davidh38 [21:46] davidh38: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [21:46] davidh38: do you really think that's needed in an #ubuntu support channel ? [21:46] different problem [21:46] meh, if it's not that serious, I'd stick with ubuntu [21:46] when I tried to install the ati utility it told me I didn't have the card installed?... [21:47] sorry, I don't know about ati stuff - I (unluckily) have an intel card [21:47] and in system>admisitration>hardware drivers it doesn't show any for the gfx card [21:47] uskrewed. I've tried a number of distro's and I finaly stuck with Ubuntu due to the awesome community. Large,knowlegable, and alwyas helpful. [21:47] that's why I picked ubuntu as well, dave [21:47] I'm impressed how great the community is so soon after the distro was begun [21:47] I'm just going to reinstall. Thank you all for your help [21:48] uskrewed: some people are waiting for the 2.6.30 kernel before they do Ext4 [21:48] others have years and years of community-building behind them, but ubuntu seems to have really taken off quite quickly [21:48] uskrewed: I'd recommend making a separate /home partition when you do [21:48] sebsebseb: when is 2.6.30 supposed to be released? [21:48] IamDaveMyers, Mike_lifeguard, sebsebseb, hypn0, and macvr [21:48] As I support a number of linux systems where I work (on an official unoffical kinda basis) it was that expertise being on tap that made me run on ubuntu at work also. [21:48] thank you all for your help [21:48] macvr: Linux kernel development is pretty fast [21:48] no problem ^_^ [21:48] now to do some reading >> [21:49] macvr: probaby later this year [21:49] sebsebseb: i'd like to know if u have tried e4defrag... i want to know if it is safe... maybe my probs might be solved... [21:49] sebsebseb: later this year! oh boy! [21:49] macvr: no I haven't used that program, since I know there is no need to defrag a Linux partition :) [21:50] sebsebseb: not for the fragmentation... to refresh my files [21:50] uskrewed. definately go for the separate home partition. there are some exclent guides out there and with the new installer it is actually very easy (although maybe scary at first) to multiple partition your system. good luck with the instal [21:50] what version of debian is Jaunty based on? [21:50] uskrewed and macvr ##linux is probably a good channel for the Ext4 questions [21:50] IamDaveMyers: there's a new installer for jaunty? [21:50] wasn't Jaunty debian based? [21:51] !debian | e-DIO-t [21:51] e-DIO-t: Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu! [21:51] OOH now I'm worried! new installer in jaunty eh!

[21:52] sebsebseb: thanx [21:52] cvzf [21:52] IamDaveMyers: I ask because the Intrepid installer was terrible and horrifying, so I'm looking forward to improvements [21:52] but it's a 10h fight...so i'll start back tomorrow :P [21:52] but not being able to exclude .git is about to make me scream [21:52] hello i cant install libpcap ??

[23:40] * Dr_Willis knows there are forum threads on the Dell mini 9 [23:40] Question: Does anyone here know ANYTHING about accessing a Netware server from Ubuntu? [23:40] roxie: basically, a driver goes "yay, I know that wifi!" but it doesn't, and it doesn't work. so when the proper driver gets loaded, the wifi already appears to have a driver and the correct driver doesn't get utilized. the blacklisting forces the first one to ignore the wifi, so the second one sees it. [23:40] What's a good cli tool to check the bandwidth usage of a box? [23:41] The UNR does work with my AAO. I did not have to blacklist anything.

[23:56] jlewis_: just a moment [23:56] mjmac, so does notepad ++ :P [23:56] anyone know why when i set a static ip on eth0 in /etc/network/interfaces i still end up with a different ip [23:56] ? [23:56] if y is root then under y y/install is your sub dir and so is y/install or cd ..\wine and so on [23:56] PhotoJim -- see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=204690 as an example discussion [23:56] i can set static ip on eth0 of 192.168.1.100 and after /etc/init.d/network restart i end up with the right up, but after time i get an ip of 1.103 [23:57] FactTech: thanks, I'll check that out. I wonder why support was ceased. [23:57] why cant i join yahoo chat‎ with pidgin [23:57] interest [23:57] dma pidgins dont like yahoos [23:57] PhotoJim -- not sure it was if it's just part of another package, but it looked like some change in a library broke it at one point (saw bug reports with titles about this but didn't read them), so maybe it just got dropped by the wayside. [23:58] jlewis_: it seems that support for that model s not quite there yet.. you would be best to either run windows in a virtual machine and run itunes on that.. or dual boot and use windows and itunes that way [23:58] FactTech: still, surprised somebody didn't make a backport. not popular enough perhaps. [23:58] download something elese then pigin under get-apps install (appname) under terminal [23:58] Paddy_EIRE, thx! [23:58] PhotoJim -- probably. I haven't seen a Netware server since my Windows 3.11 days. :) [23:58] anyone knows how convert .wav into .mp3?

If I was going to get a T400, should I get the Intel GMA X4500 graphics card, or spend the extra $85 on a ATI Mobility Radeon 3470 with 256MB vram?
