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. [00:01] i don't know which client would work well for that. [00:01] fccf: i never said what was best. :P [00:02] PhotoJIm -- I think maybe it *is* part of the ncpfs package, which is in the jaunty and intrepid repositories. You definitely should look into this. [00:02] * fccf re directs question to quickdraw [00:02] aspect ratios are goofed up for videos in totem, anyone have an idea of a fix?

[00:05] Hello, I am trying to do a simple make file, but it just seems to execute the first command, ideas ? [00:05] Can someone help me with installing ALSA upgrades for Ubuntu 8.10 ? I've downloaded all of the latest (1.20) packages. But I do not know how to go about upgrading, etc. [00:05] fresh_prince, makefiles are almost never simple :-( [00:06] !worksforme [00:06] 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/ [00:06] You probably need a dependence [00:06] mac-wilson: that said is there a reason you need to upgrade --- sound troubles? [00:06] Ablonus: can you please check this out ? http://paste.ubuntu.com/191188/ [00:07] fresh_prince: did you use tabs or spaces? [00:07] can i use xchat in windows [00:07] yes fccf :) .I added "options snd-hda-intel model=imac24" to the end of /etc/modeprobe.d/alsa-base. Then when i rebooted, I changed my Sound Device to Realtek ALC889A (OSS Mixer). [00:07] That did the trick for the no sound problem, but only for the internal speakers. [00:08] Even with my headphones plugged in or unplugged the sound always comes out of the internal speakers, and never from headphones. [00:08] Hi, I have a problem, when I try to open a pdf file from a CD the document viewer returns an error message. When I try to copy one of these files on the hardrive I get another error message "Couldn't read the file" or something like that. The files are OK because I can open them under windows and Ubuntu 8.10 used to open them no problem (I upgraded to Jaunty recently). What am I missing here? Any ideas? [00:08] diego_: the cd has got smudged or scratched [00:08] I did a bit of research and saw another person who had the same computer, problem, etc as me. But his version of ALSA was more updated, mine is only 1.17. I figured that might be the problem. [00:09] diego_, can you copy them in windows? [00:09] fresh_prince, I'm not an expert but you could maybe put "all: example_smooth hello_world" at the top then make all [00:09] fccf , any ideas? [00:09] linxeh: The CD is shiny and smooth [00:09] Ablonus: ok thanks :D [00:09] The "all:" line is intended to include the other build targets [00:09] mac-wilson: imac ... is that on a mac? [00:09] cabrey: I could try [00:09] diego_: are other CDs working well on your machine? [00:09] yes ;). I have Intel iMac 7,1 [00:10] IIRC make on its own will make the first target specified in the file [00:10] diego_, if you can copy them to a flash drive or access your windows partition from within ubuntu [00:10] mac-wilson: nvidia or intel graphics [00:10] aaditya: Yeah, I have problems only with pdf [00:10] diego_, you could install Adobe Acrobat Reader [00:10] ATI Radeon 2400 XT [00:10] diego_: only one particular PDF file? or all PDFs? [00:10] diego_: what happens when you copy the files on the command line ? [00:10] but just google Intel iMac 7,1 [00:11] diego_: the fact you cant copy them worries me... it suggests the disc is faulty [00:11] linxeh: all pdf I tried have the same problem [00:11] diego_, try Adobe Reader [00:11] linxeh: didn't try the command line. I'll try that [00:11] diego_: try navigating to the CD drive using the terminal and then execute `cp filename.pdf /tmp/` [00:12] diego_: let's see what it outputs [00:12] cabrey: can I install it with apt-get¿ [00:12] what is the use of the ehiga softphone [00:12] diego_, yes, just enable the canonical repository [00:12] !quicktime [00:12] 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 [00:12] !ekiga | ruler [00:12] ruler: ekiga is an Internet telephony application included with Ubuntu, which supports the SIP and H323 protocols.

[00:14] mac-wilson: there haven't been any reports for jaunty on ubuntu forums...yet for the imac 7.1 ... you might go ahead with the upgrade.. it might have even been fixed in jaunty...as i understand it [00:14] I have some NFS mounts and they time out, forcing me to run 'mount -a' to get access again, what causes this time out ? or how do I preventit ? [00:14] ruler: I use ekiga to make some calls with Asterisk. [00:14] Is there an appropriate channel to ask about mysql database issues? [00:14] mac-wilson: do you need a walk through? [00:14] fccf: i'm sticking with 8.10 for now. but, what terminal commands do i use to upgrade ALSA? [00:15] It is a good softphone.. [00:15] i guess you could call that a need for a walk through ;) [00:15] aaditya: When I try to copy it to /tmp I get an input/output error [00:15] ingcomrbr: sorry to but it, but is there an asterisk irc channel, I want to learn more to see if I should consider running it at home [00:16] mac-wilson: you'll need to download the debs for the version of alsa that you want to install then install them with dpkg or Gdebi [00:16] Ablonus: #mysql [00:17] aaditya: The files have long names like "Hamermesh - Group Theory and its Application to Physical Problems.djvu" [00:17] fccf: I just want to make sure that I downloaded the right debs? With me in my Downloads folder are alsa-driver,firmware,lib,plugins,tools,utils,pyalsa. all of which are version 1.0.20, and all of which end in tar.bz2 . [00:17] hipitihop: have you tried #asterisk? [00:17] diego_: file names shouldn't be a problem. it appears to be a difficulty reading the disc [00:18] how do I play apple quicktime in ff ? === hbx is now known as HBXg0d [00:18] oii alguem pode me ajudar???

I only have ALSA 1.0.17, and the person who has the same computer type as me (Intel iMac 7,1) had ALSA 1.0.19. Oddly enough, after rebooting his computer his headphones had sound. [00:21] mjmac: no, only started reading about it yesterday [00:21] axisys: and then restarted the browser? [00:21] i dont know how to get alsa to work so i used a diferent sound card [00:21] mac-wilson: have you updated to the latest versions system wide... using the updater or synaptic... these may have the fix you need [00:22] aaditya: nawp.. ok let me try that [00:22] no. i'll check with Update Manager [00:22] How would one force re-installation using apt-get? [00:22] My system is up to date, accordin to Update Manager [00:22] Wavesonics, sudo aptitude install build-essential x-window-system-dev should do it [00:23] mac-wilson: did you run "check" [00:23] apt-get uninstall then use apt-get install [00:23] aaditya: still says get the quicktime http://www.apple.com/iphone/guidedtour/#medium [00:23] Wavesonics, hold up, wrong package oops [00:23] I hate to interrupt, but is there a channel gear toward fixing NVIDIA issues? [00:23] Wavesonics, xserver-xorg-dev [00:23] i just did; it downloaded 42 items.

[01:44] [K-lined] <-- nice [01:45] Okay, The MD5 checksums match up. [01:45] xiong: looking... [01:46] Any guesses why close buttons are no longer showing in Gnome title bars? [01:46] Is sip:520@ekiga.net reachable right know on Ekiga? [01:46] !ot | marcosRz [01:46] marcosRz: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [01:47] Gnea, I think you dont understand, Ekiga is included on Ubuntu, and so is considered support software [01:47] Gnea, wammu is again up to the point where it's asking for a port... [01:47] Gah. Something messed up. Anyone say whether they know why the close buttons aren't knowing up in gnome? [01:47] marcosRz: wrong. Ekiga is included in Ubuntu, we support making sure that it operates at a basic functionality level, anything beyond that is out of our hands. [01:48] marcosRz: err, the Ekiga *program* is included in Ubuntu, but whether the a number in Ekiga *telephony network* is up or down is hardly Ubuntu-related [01:48] marcosRz: so you should ask in #ekiga [01:48] Gnea, Right know is not operating basically, but if you dont know sip:520@ekiga.net is the default 'backbone' of Ekiga [01:48] !ekiga | marcosRz [01:48] marcosRz: ekiga is an Internet telephony application included with Ubuntu, which supports the SIP and H323 protocols. Information and help at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ekiga [01:49] marcosRz: see the website, ask in #ekiga [01:49] Gnea, 'bluetooth preferences' doesn't give me any such port or bluetooth address -- i installed 'gnome-bluetooth' using synaptic but i don't see it in any menus, unless it has another name [01:49] Gnea, I tried already they are on irc.gimp.org, and the channel is dead. =/ [01:49] marcosRz: then you'll need to be patient. [01:50] * i find it frustrating that the gnome desktop menu items don't seem to have the same names as the things to which they point! * [01:50] marcosRz, Ekiga is both a program and a VoIP network. the latter has nothing to do with Ubuntu and we don't support it here. feel free to ask in #ubuntu-offtopic whether that number is up for others. [01:50] xiong: when you turn your bluetooth on the laptop on, do you get a little bluetooth icon show up in the top panel? [01:51] wow... dmraid was fun on the install [01:51] Hello, I need help. I'm trying to make a linux distro with the android sdk and eclipse to run from a usb [01:51] Hi all, could someone help me get NetworkManager to manage my wireless network connection please. [01:52] rafase282: might want to ask that in #linux or #freenode [01:52] Where's the restart button on 9.10?? [01:52] Polarina: #ubuntu+1 would know... we only support up to 9.04 in this channel [01:52] Any guesses as to why GNOME isn't displaying the close buttons? [01:53] ckwalsh: layout was changed? [01:53] Last time I turned it on yesterday, my laptop was fine [01:53] Gnea: Ok. [01:53] Gnea, there has *always* been a little bluetooth icon in the tray -- it seems only to have one menu item, which i just now used to set up the phone (to introduce the devices to one another) [01:53] Gnea, I made sure it was on hte Human theme, still not showing up [01:53] xiong: ok good [01:54] ckwalsh: does it happen if you make a new account and login with it? [01:54] Hrm, let me restart gdm [01:54] Gnea, fumbling around, i have got another icon in the tray; this says on mouseover, ready for bluetooth file transfers [01:54] how do I (or can I) add xsetroot to /usr/share/xsession/twm.desktop (I've never used gdm before) [01:54] what does it mean when a package is held back when I upgrade? [01:54] Gnea, but right-click on that icon gives me only 'about' and 'quit'; left-click does nothing at all [01:55] xiong: what about left or middle click? [01:55] Gnea, left-click, nothing; i don't have a middle button [01:55] xiong: click left+right=middle :) [01:55] Gnea, did that: nothing [01:56] hmm [01:56] Gnea: only if x is configured to emulate three buttons... [01:56] the 'about' says, 'gnome-obex-server 0.11.0' [01:56] hello, newbie here. How can I install the latest wine-1.1.23 which is not in deb yet [01:57] kev_zhong: Wait for a build, or compile manually. [01:57] xiong: ah ok, then that's the obex, which handles file transfer mode to the phone over bluetooth [01:57] xiong: can you select the phone under Places? [01:57] hey guys, if I were to get Ubuntu for my x86_64 desktop, should I go for version 9.04? Also, is it relatively easy to upgrade when a new version comes out? [01:57] do you think it wouldn't make a difference if I use the stable version, because I have been trying to install some games that get a gold rating but haven't luck yet [01:57] * xiong looks [01:58] Gnea, not obviously [01:58] also, how is nvidia support out of the box? [01:58] * rsc1988 ##atheists downloading Great Dam [01:58] Can anyone point me to a guide then? [01:58] !ot | rsc1988 [01:58] rsc1988: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [01:58] Gnea, i have it in my mind that the phone should appear somewhere on the desktop, in some form, somehow, somewhere -- but no [01:58] sorry [01:59] mattx86: installing jaunty was a breeze for me, and nvidia works fine as long as you follow the "install proprietary drivers" hints after installation [01:59] by "fine" i mean 3D works well in compiz and such. [01:59] xiong: try this command: obextool [02:00] Well, looks like an update got interrupted [02:00] Gnea, i think that 'ready for file transfers' is a blind; i powered off the phone and it's unchanged [02:00] After resuming from a suspend, how do I make it so it doesn't ask me for my password? [02:00] which would definitely explain why GNOME is freaking out [02:00] does 9.04 have issues with wubi? I've used older releases(non wubi) and have had great performance. This is incredibly laggy and has had virtually nothing changed since clean install [02:01] tehwaffles: haven't tried the 9.04 wubi, the 8.04 and 8.10 always worked fine [02:01] Gnea, i started obextool from terminal but it popped up a gui window [02:01] well, I'm currently experimenting with opensuse and have run into a small bump in the road, but it's making me consider switching back to ubuntu [02:01] xiong: that's fine [02:01] How do I get aMSN to work with Ubuntu 9.04? [02:01] xiong: does it find your phone? [02:02] one big plus is that powerdvd is offered to ubuntu users [02:02] kabdotinfo: add an msn account in pidgin [02:02] Gnea, i'm not sure -- it displays a 'root' folder icon, but nothing in it [02:02] tehwaffles: I'm talking about aMSN. [02:02] Gnea: Thanks, but it looks like completing the update fixed it [02:02] kabdotinfo: sudo apt-get install amsn? [02:02] really appreciate the help you guys give though :D [02:03] * Polarina has 9.04, and she thought she had 9.10. [02:03] sudo apt-get install powerdvd [02:03] pik}: Yes, but then it won't work. Doesn't start for some reason. [02:03] Gnea, not sure it has found anything [02:03] (guy/gals, sorry to any ladies out there) [02:03] i've never tried opensuse myself, but in my opinion 9.04 has been fantastic. [02:03] ckwalsh: I prefer "ya'll" or "all ya'll" ;) [02:03] Polarina: oi [02:04] I want to install certain packages on a friends computer (namely sun-jdk6, povray, netbeans) but I am running on a ubuntu 64bit whereas my friends laptop is 32bit. is there anyway I can save all the needed packages for 32 bit ? [02:04] xiong: that's the issue with this program - it takes awhile before it does something [02:04] !offline | rohit [02:04] rohit: If you need to download Ubuntu packages using another machine or OS, check the desired packages in Synaptic and select File > Generate package download script. Alternatively, try http://apt.alturl.com/ - See also !APTonCD [02:04] "all y'all" is redundant as "y'all" implies pluralty . [02:05] wow, that's an impressive helpbot [02:05] Romulus_: all y'all is the plural of y'all. As in, multiple groups of people. But, this is entirely offtopic. [02:05] Romulus_: actually, "ya'll" is singular [02:05] There should be both "You is" and "You are". [02:05] oh, haha. i missed the command. :) [02:06] Flannel, well the laptop doesn't have an internet connection. And I was thinking of taking the package files, copying them to the cache dir of apt and installing [02:06] Romulus_, Gnea, kabdotinfo: I invite us to take it to #ubuntu-offtopic [02:06] !offline | avgbvg [02:06] avgbvg, please see my private message [02:06] Flannel: np, i tend to avoid that channel :) [02:06] rohit: Right. That website should be able to do it. [02:06] Gnea, i just tried to upload a file; the upload failed due to a permissions error, which makes no sense -- the file is mine, in my home folder [02:06] "ya'll" isn't a word. "Y'a'll" is accepted as being "you" and "all" contracted. [02:06] :P [02:06] Romulus_: stop. [02:06] Gnea: yeah I am starting to learn that [02:07] rohit: I'm not sure if there's an easier way (maybe synaptic can do that download script for other arches? I don't know) [02:07] rohit- you can always grab the package files yourself from archive.ubuntu.com [02:07] Gnea: Sorry, couldn't resist. Boredom got the better of me. [02:07] hey === q_ is now known as cowgarten [02:08] tty17: Hey! :) [02:08] avgbvg, but some of them have dependencies - will the dependencies also get saved ? [02:08] Gnea, that error message is funky -- i created a .png (copy of another file) and set the broadest possible permissions on it -- same failure [02:09] rohit: no you will have to make note of the dependencies and download them aswell [02:09] Gnea, i think we're not really seeing the phone's filesystem, if that makes sense [02:09] how do you extract .exe files? [02:09] rohit: No, but that last website will generate them for you. http://apt.alturl.com/ === jabagaw`` is now known as jabagawee [02:09] cheeseman, cabextract [02:09] xiong: there's a way to get nautilus to see it, just can't remember how, and i can't locate my bt dongle [02:09] Gnea, in other words, i think the trouble may be that the phone won't allow an upload into it's filesystem root? [02:09] rohit- definitely not. i would try Flannel's suggestions first; this is a sort of last resort if you need to do it quick and dirty. [02:09] What does xrandr: Configure crtc 0 failed mean? [02:09] Flannel, avgbvg Paddy_EIRE alright thanks I will give it a go [02:10] I've just put the livecd versions of eeebuntu and ubuntu on seperate partitions on a usb drive, and I've configured grub to replace syslinux, but when I try and boot ubuntu (on the 2nd partition) it gives the ubuntu loading screen but boots eeebuntu, I think (but I'm nowhere near sure) it might be something to do with initrd.gz selecting the wrong kernel, can somebody help? [02:10] sorry for loooong post [02:10] xiong: no, you have to be able to browse to the root first [02:10] could someone help me install wicd 1.6.0 please [02:10] Gnea, nautilus cd burner??? === yeehaw is now known as bucky [02:10] rohit: Another alternative (click-wise easier) is to boot a liveCD and use aptonCD to generate an iso [02:10] PsyCl0ne: is it not in the repos? [02:10] xiong: nooo, the file browser [02:10] tty17: wicd is in the repos, but an older version [02:11] ah k [02:11] PsyCl0ne: is there a .deb on the website? [02:11] tty17: no [02:11] galera...alguem sabe como posso fazer o sistema rodar quando da o erro pci: not using mmconfig!? [02:11] hmm idk then [02:11] PsyCl0ne, there is 1.5.9, do you really need 1.6? [02:11] nesse caso me refiro ao debian [02:11] try the PPA? [02:11] Question please: is there a log file monitor? I have small script which show icon in notification area when log file is changed. Maybe there are much better utilities? [02:12] !pt [02:12] Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Para a comunidade local portuguêsa, #ubuntu-pt. Obrigado. [02:12] !debian | icebreacker [02:12] icebreacker: 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! [02:12] Gnea, i'm intensely frustrated by this habit of calling things by one name in the gui menus and window title bars, but they're 'really' named something else -- can fix? [02:12] !pt | icebreacker [02:12] icebreacker: please see above [02:12] xiong: there is nothing to fix [02:12] xiong: reconfigure the menus to not show simple names [02:12] Gnea, you're telling me that the window on my desktop with the title bar 'pictures - file browser' is really nautilus? [02:13] ah! [02:13] xiong: yes, it is. [02:13] xiong: the same reason why browser windows in XP aren't labelled explorer.exe [02:13] Flannel, why boot from a live cd ? [02:13] xiong: nautilus is the file manager [02:13] I know 'tis off topic, although whatever happened to the politics channel ? [02:13] citizen42alpha: it's ##politics [02:13] Gnea, i have a tech background, i'd rather see it all raw -- how to do? [02:13] xiong: file browser rather [02:13] citizen42alpha: #politics [02:13] am i likely to encounter any problems switching from gnome to kde, is it wiser to do a clean install? [02:13] lstarnes: thanks. [02:14] xiong: ... no idea [02:14] Gnea: #politics doesn't work anymore [02:14] xiong: i have a tech background as well - sad, eh? [02:14] cabrey: I would like to try the newer version. The NetworkManager that came with ubuntu randomly decided that it was not going to manage my wireless networks and I can not figure out how to set to back to manage wireless. Also with Wicd 1.5, it keeps bugging out and gets stuck at obtaining ip address. I just hope that 1.6 will have this issue sorted [02:14] Guthur, you shouldn't, sudo apt-get install kde [02:14] Gnea, you said, reconfigure menus not to show simple names -- how to do? [02:14] lstarnes: oh well [02:14] tty17: http://wicd.sourceforge.net/download.php - how to install [02:14] lstarnes: its a nonsense channel which should not be mentioned in here.. thanks [02:14] Paddy_EIRE: he was just asking where it was [02:14] xiong: iirc, it's under System->Preferences->Menus [02:15] Okay aptoncd saves the cached packages right ? [02:15] linux: perhaps you should read the section entitled "Installing on Ubuntu" [02:15] cabrey, thanks. so it should be easy even to give it a try [02:15] So can I install ubuntu 9.04 32 bit in a virtualbox and then install jdk,netbeans and povray and then use aptoncd ? [02:15] tty17: I did - what's the problem? [02:15] Guthur, yup, though it runs horribly on this computer :/ [02:16] linux: nothing's the problem here [02:16] apart from this sodding USB disk [02:16] Gnea, i'm at that now -- apparently, i could retype the 'real' name over the 'bogus menu' name, case by case [02:16] but that has nothing to do with wicd [02:16] Gnea, no global pref for that, though [02:16] cabrey, i assume switching back isn't a problem, if that turns out to be the case for me as well, is it the transparency thing (what i see in wiki) [02:16] tty17: you're not trying to install the wifi manager wicd? [02:16] linux: nope [02:17] linux: thats me [02:17] tty17: what "wicd" are you trying to install? [02:17] Guthur, you can easily switch back and forth, it is in the "sessions" menu on the login screen [02:17] linux: I'm not trying to install any wicd [02:17] anyone ever use ctorrent before? I'm looking for a CLI torrent app just wondering if it's any good [02:17] linux: I'm trying to help PsyCl0ne install wicd [02:17] Linux: I have 1.5 installed im trying to install 1.6 [02:17] tty17: sorry! easy to get confused in here [02:17] PsyCl0ne, ok you can try what someone said before: http://wicd.sourceforge.net/download.php [02:18] cabrey: Yes I have already done that, and that is why I have 1.5 [02:18] PsyCl0ne: http://sourceforge.net/project/downloading.php?group_id=194573&filename=wicd-1.6.0.tar.bz2&a=7127910 [02:18] PsyCl0ne: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=194573 - here's the download page - stable or unstable - you choose [02:18] pik}: ok I have the file but I do not know where to go from there [02:18] Can somebody confirm the above ? I have started installing ... [02:18] confirm what [02:19] Gnea, i've enabled 'nautilus' as a menu item by overwriting 'file manager' with 'nautilus' and checking a box [02:19] cabrey, great thanks [02:19] PsyCl0ne, have you tried compiling from souce & checkinstall? [02:19] tty17: you on jaunty? [02:19] Cabrey: I dont know how Ive had linux installed for like 3 weeks now [02:20] linux: yup [02:20] Gnea, am i really using the wrong distro? i appreciate being shielded from most of the ugly stuff but if i have to get in there, i'd like to know where i'm going [02:20] Flannel, I can install ubuntu 32 bit in a virtual box, install the packages and then save the cached package files right ? Because I don't want to burn a cd :D [02:20] tty17: I found a differen link for wicd for jaunty [02:21] linux: cool, but perhaps you should be talking to PsyCl0ne [02:21] http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/all/wicd/download - should install eaiser [02:21] tty17: Sorry! [02:21] haha [02:21] np [02:21] PsyCl0ne: http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/all/wicd/download [02:21] Linux: I already have that revis, I would like the newer 1.6 [02:21] trying to follow too many conversations :) [02:21] PsyCl0ne, hold on, I'll help you compile it [02:22] cabrey: kk thank you [02:22] sebsebseb: goto sleep [02:22] PsyCl0ne, on this page: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=194573&package_id=229460 download the .tar.gz [02:22] thiebaude: not yet and wrong channel [02:22] !ot [02:22] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[02:22] yep [02:22] Gnea, i think we may just want to come back to this at another time; looks like a big job [02:23] xiong: someone else might know [02:23] PsyCl0ne: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=194573 - this is 1.6 stable and unstable [02:23] !ot | thiebaude [02:23] cabrey: kk I have the file saved to my desktop [02:23] thiebaude: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [02:23] PsyCl0ne, ok open a terminal [02:23] PsyCl0ne, type sudo apt-get build-dep wicd [02:23] Gnea, perhaps it's enough for one day that i got the phone turned on and i can make voice calls with it -- data exchange will come later, after more work [02:24] but thank you for trying [02:24] cabrey could we go to private chat [02:24] PsyCl0ne, it might install quite a few packages [02:24] cabrey: everything is just moving to fast to keep up [02:24] xiong: good luck [02:24] PsyCl0ne, fine by me if it is fine by everyone [02:24] cabrey: keep it here...im reading :p [02:25] lol [02:25] next step ./configure > make > make install? [02:25] PsyCl0ne, ok did you do that command? [02:25] oh just a sec [02:26] cabrey: I get an error output E: Unable to find a source package for wicd [02:26] the command worked for me [02:27] PsyCl0ne, interesting... it worked for me too [02:27] PsyCl0ne, can you remove the repo you put in from the wicd site? [02:27] arg hi guys i have lost sount on my eeepc 900 [02:27] E: Unable to find a source package for wicd [02:27] er sorry one sec [02:27] was watching a movie and it died [02:27] sound === N1GhT is now known as xN1GhTx [02:28] cabrey: kk I removed the repo [02:28] PsyCl0ne, sudo apt-get update also [02:29] how do I make the file-roller a default handler when I download rar files? [02:29] cabrey: kk just finished updating [02:29] PsyCl0ne, try sudo apt-get build-dep wicd again [02:29] nsahoo: right click on the file, properties, open with [02:29] rohit: yeah. You can also do an iso via USB or whatever. [02:29] rohit: Any form of sneakernet [02:30] Flannel, always loved that word [02:30] cabrey: I get the same error "Unable to find a source package for wicd" [02:30] I need help! [02:30] icebreacker: yes? [02:30] PsyCl0ne, ok we'll forego that route then. sudo apt-get install build-essential [02:30] Flannel, I think i preffer copying the packages - isn't that simpler and better ? It will work right ? :P Cuz my friend would kill me if it didn't :P [02:30] tty17, my system show PCI: not using MMCONFIG [02:30] and break [02:30] tty17: that is correct when I have already downladed it. but, when I am downloading using firefox. Can I make it automatically open the rar files using fileroller? [02:31] nsahoo: oh I see [02:31] cabrey: kk done [02:31] nsahoo: hmm I'm not sure [02:31] I'm from brazil...so, sorry, my inglish is not very good [02:31] rohit: It'll work as far as installation goes, yes. I'm not sure if the packages will be seen coming from the internet (because there's some metafiles associated with it), but I suppose in his case, that's moot. [02:31] what is the best internet relay chat program for linux that uses scripts? [02:31] icebreacker: perhaps try #ubuntu-br [02:31] PsyCl0ne, ok. type cd Desktop [02:32] cabrey: kk [02:32] Flannel, in an emergency I could just double click on the packages right ? APT should install them that way ? [02:32] PsyCl0ne, then tar xzvf wicd-1.6.0.tar.gz [02:32] icebreacker: #ubuntu-br é em português. (is that right :P ?) [02:32] cabrey: kk [02:32] PsyCl0ne, ok cd wicd-1.6.0 [02:33] rohit: yeah, dpkg -i /folder/of/debs/* [02:33] cabrey: kk [02:33] does anyone know what is the best irc program for linux that uses scripts? [02:33] Flannel, okay great - thanks again :D [02:33] PsyCl0ne, ok run sudo ./setup.py build [02:33] PsyCl0ne, you can safely ignore the errors [02:33] Hello, I am installing cmake into a local directory (no root), and I need to use the cmake command, how should I set up my variables to do so? Help ? [02:34] cabrey: kk done [02:34] cheeseman Xchat seems pretty decent and appears to allow scripts, haven't tried scripting it though [02:34] Regarding the Ubuntu Netbook Remix: Does anyone know the program to remove that expands all windows to full size? [02:34] PsyCl0ne, actually my bad run sudo ./setup.py configure then sudo ./setup.py build [02:34] tty17, eu sei mas ninguem lah sabe como ajudar [02:35] cabrey: kk done :) no errors this time [02:35] PsyCl0ne, sudo ./setup.py install [02:35] icebreacker: oh ok, sorry then [02:35] I don't know [02:35] cabrey: kk done :) [02:36] sup [02:37] PsyCl0ne, ok hold on [02:37] how so you get a flash player on here?

[02:54] its pretty fast thoug [02:54] Lonesword: yes I was thinking it might be called kde-core so you could get that with commands instead [02:54] what about kubuntu-desktop ?

Planning to go and buy 2x gt9600 cards and third monitor. Would be nasty if I'dd get them for nothing. Just levelled my vista installation and not planning to go back to m$ products.

[03:20] anyone know? [03:20] hi! I have an ATI HD 4850, and if I click (in the restricted drivers dialog) on "activate", nothing happens. any idea how to install the driver? [03:21] can anyone tell me how i can mount the optical drive/cd rom that was burnt using windows xp native cd burning utility? i keep getting a volume unmountable error message [03:21] XCP there are drivers on the ATI website for the HD4800 cards specifically. [03:22] pwner: so I shouldn't use the one that comes with ubuntu? [03:22] XCP I had to do the same thing with my 4830... good luck getting the sound to work through hdmi btw ;) [03:22] any idea why stripes is not in the repositories? [03:22] it's a framework for java [03:22] linux: I just like the idea of having things on their own displays. Get to the information / application just by turning my head. I'm aware that one can use virtual desktops(if thats what they are called). I'm thinking it's matter of what one get's used to. [03:23] XCP no, you should use the drivers from the website. [03:23] usually have some movie etc running on one display, something semi productive on the other and then browsers and such. [03:23] pwner: oh I see... have you had any problems with the drivers & xorg memory usage? in my last ubuntu install, xorg was a memory hog due to a faulty driver. I hope this is fixed. [03:24] how do I get the dump command on ubuntu? [03:24] odd that it doesn't have it [03:24] XCP aside from getting the damn sound to work, I've had no porblems at all. [03:24] XCP do not use the x-org driver with the 4850 it did bad things to my computer :) [03:24] Guthur: which should I use instead then? [03:25] jwm1, have you tried to format it? [03:25] xcp like others said, use the ones from ATI website [03:25] cabrey: I tried to make a partition table [03:25] how do you back stuff up on ubuntu if you don't use dump [03:25] Guthur: oh... by xorg driver you mean the one that comes with ubuntu?

Why is this? [03:25] xcp ya sorry maybe i missed something [03:26] Guthur: when you used the Ubuntu driver, have you had any problems with xorg memory usage? [03:26] cabre: the format option is greyed out [03:26] XCP i had problems getting ubuntu to boot again, i had video corruption and couldn't get into the OS at all, had to reinstall in the end [03:26] oh [03:26] sorry to hear that [03:27] cabrey? [03:27] cabrey? [03:27] XCP nah it wasn't that bad i had only installed it anyway, no lose or anything, just a bit of a waste of time :) [03:27] jwm1, ok what happens? [03:27] XCP but the official ATI driver works fine [03:27] marshall: Did you get your questions answered? Just curious [03:28] hi, does anyone here have an idea for why an sd card wouldn't be mounted automatically at boot? It does it *sometimes* but no on others. Recently, I just added a hack to rc.local (mount /dev/sdb1) but I don't know how consistently it works yet. [03:28] no [03:28] my guess was that it's an sdcard and some module wasn't loaded at the time it would normally attempt to mount [03:28] still no youtube 4 me [03:28] marshall: Bummer! [03:28] Guthur: glad to hear that... I just downloaded it and ran the .run file... do I have to do anything else after that or does the .run file everything for me? [03:29] marshall: if PS3 is PPC architecture, flash is not very well supported, better off downloading the videos you want to watch [03:29] XCP i think thats all i did, just ran it with sudo, and it was good to go :) [03:29] how can I setup file sharing between two ubuntu systems.. I am not share how to use samba server? [03:29] im gonna try to install yellow dog to my ps3 maybe that will work [03:30] Guthur: wish me luck, I gonna restart now :) [03:30] XCP I'm running x64 though, which might have been my initial problem [03:30] marshall: did you look at psbuntu.org? [03:30] me too, Guthur [03:30] marshall: Still won't have flash [03:30] okay so that page says you just use tar and dd [03:30] no nise thinkin though [03:30] marshall, what is the problem? [03:30] marshall: with yellow dog [03:30] XCP well then definitely stick with the official, hope it works as well for you :) [03:30] thanks :) [03:30] bbl [03:30] but isn't dump the standard linux backup tool [03:30] i have no flashplyer [03:30] ethiotech: have you installed samba?

I am getting a "volume not mountable" message. [03:31] im using my ps3 to run this [03:31] marshall, and have you tried gnash/swfdec? [03:31] well I guess apt-get install dump works [03:31] but why isn't it in by default [03:31] is there some reason [03:31] mashedpgravy: Do you have more than one optical drive? [03:31] yea all of them [03:31] no sir [03:32] still looking 4 more [03:32] marshall, those are the only 2 [03:32] I installed kde and when I try to log in, a loading screen appears and the system hangs...after a few seconds, I get the login screen again!

For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [03:34] Um_cara_qualquer use sudo [03:34] ethiotech: no worrys. it's really simple. go to the add/remove. you can find it in the applications menu [03:34] marshall: There's a site which converts the video and then let you download it....just give'em the URL. I haven't tried it yet, and I forgot the link. I searched google for "how to download youtube videos in linux" or something. I had bookmarked it, but lost it when I formatted my computer [03:34] blz [03:35] marshall, there is a youtube plugin for totem so you dont have to screw with all that youtube download bullsh** [03:35] same thing, access denied =/ [03:36] just got the plugin lets see [03:36] if it works [03:36] can't log in to KDE. I installed kde using synaptic.....the "kde-core" package...system hangs when trying to log in to kde and then shows the login screen again. [03:36] Gnome works fine [03:36] mashedpgravy: did you say you wanted to mount if from command line? [03:37] The following packages have unmet dependencies: [03:37] samba: Depends: libcupsys2 (>= 1.3.4) [03:37] Depends: samba-common (= 3.0.28a-1ubuntu4.7) but 2:3.2.3-1ubuntu3 is to be installed [03:37] E: Broken packages [03:37] ethiotech: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:37] sorry [03:37] mashedpgravy: Try the dir /media [03:37] linux: no, i just popped in the disc and i got a message that said the volume is unmountable, i dont do anything fromt he command line unless i have to [03:38] Guthur: restart succeeded, how can I test if the driver is actually active? [03:38] ethiotech: sudo apt-get install libcupsys2 [03:38] does anybody use Konversation [03:38] zeroprog: yes [03:38] linux: output is "cdrom cdrom0 New\ Volume" [03:38] do you know how to set up the /msg NickServ identify [03:39] zeroprog: what's Konversation for? IRC ? [03:39] zeroprog: what do you mean? like perform? [03:39] yes info [03:39] linux: new volume is my external usb hard drive and i only have one optical drive [03:39] hello all! [03:39] zeroprog: thanks [03:39] pik: yes but on joining the server [03:39] i'm about to install 9.04 and I wondered how much of a 125 gb hdd should I put the swap partition? [03:39] sam555, how much ram do you have? [03:39] XCP you can go to terminal and type - aticonfig --list-adapters [03:40] 2gb ram Cabrey [03:40] sam55, i have 2 gigs of ram so i set mine to 8gb [03:40] guessing out of the blue [03:40] sam555, 1gb should be good [03:40] Why do you guys use swap? [03:40] mashedpgravy: I think you need to check your fstab - I'm not very good with that [03:40] mashedpgravy, that. is. over. kill. [03:40] could anyone walk me through how to get rosetta stone to work on 8.10? [03:40] like i said, guessed out of the blue [03:40] I have 2gb ram and no swap, my system runs fine. [03:40] sam555: Two times ram is good rule of thumb [03:40] XCP ignore that first - its confusing, just ~$ aticonfig --list-adapters [03:40] sam555, what do you plan on using your system for? [03:40] is that language teaching thing? [03:40] yes [03:40] linux, more like .5 === silver is now known as Guest60164 [03:41] is it free? [03:41] er... it can be [03:41] fstab...ok...i dont know what that is, all i know is this drive works fine with any other disc LOL [03:41] So, I'm running Ubuntu, and there's no sound. [03:41] !sound [03:41] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [03:41] turn on the speakers [03:41] damn this sucks [03:41] linux: thanks! [03:41] marshall, ...? [03:41] cabrey: .5? not in my experience, but I use old computers [03:41] ;) [03:41] XCP for a list of tweaking functions enter ~$ aticonfig [03:41] cabrey: it's someone else's laptop [03:41] hi how do I identify what Wireless Channels are currently being used around me ? [03:41] cabrey: 1/2 vista 1/2 ubuntu [03:42] it may be cause im on a ps3 [03:42] linux, if you think about it more ram = less likely to use swap [03:42] sam555, that shouldnt really matter [03:42] sam555, swap isnt shared between vista and ubuntu [03:42] coreyman, That's fine as long as you don't exhaust your RAM. As soon as you do, the system will start killing off processes... not a very pleasant thing. Swap allows you to accidentally 'bump' the RAM limit with some degree of grace! [03:42] it's 250gb drive and 1/2 I'm giving to each os [03:42] sam555, ahh got ya [03:42] how can it be free id love to learn italian or german [03:42] hi all.. is there a solution for usb wimax ? [03:42] shiznebit: sudo iwlist scan [03:42] 125 gb for ubuntu=4gb swap, but I want to partition a home and a root. How much should I give to root? [03:43] oh guess what, i just looked, i made my swap 4gb, not 8gb, so its double my ram, so ill leave it i guess [03:43] rob_p thanks [03:43] hey does anyone know why unr's launcher is so slow after switching users? [03:43] linux, awsome [03:43] XCP you can also go to System > Administration > Hardware Drivers [03:43] coreyman, np [03:43] zeroprog: it's old fashioned, but check your local library. They usually have materials for beginning language learners [03:43] shiznebit: your welcome :) [03:43] sam555, imho max swap would be 2 gb then give ~40gb / rest to /home [03:43] Hello, i tried to configure my wireless on ubuntu 9.04 and i done it, but when i restarted the computer and tried to connect the pc on the net i couldn't i tried to do $ sudo ifconfig wlan0 up and it says: the device doesn't exist and i changed to vista and work properly how can i add it on modprobe or what do i have to do? [03:44] I have 8G of ram and 1,3g swap, should I increase it for some reason? [03:44] zeroprog: server list, edit the server, identify, edit.. [03:44] cabrey: thanks much! [03:44] ha1331, you're fine. 8GB christ [03:44] I am installing an application, and it says it requires 32 bit jre, i have 64 bit.... how do i install the 32 bit? I used sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jre [03:44] ha1331, i mean unless you are editing 10 hd movies and watching 40 more at the same time ... :/ [03:44] ethiotech: how's it going? [03:44] cabrey: hehe, usually just one non-hd thing at a time [03:44] !swap [03:45] swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough.

[03:45] is they are way to fix the "program freeze" when using unrar? [03:46] I am installing an application, and it says it requires 32 bit jre, i have 64 bit.... how do i install the 32 bit? I used sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jre [03:46] cabrey: have my system on intel E-series ssd-disk, liking the smoothnes of my system... like light year away from vista. [03:46] ha1331, i'm on a netbook and can even play hd movies/video === ArMaNd is now known as Guest6989 [03:47] !wimax [03:47] Sorry, I don't know anything about wimax [03:47] zaniel_: I have a funny story! I thought my combo drive was a cd-r/dvd-r when I looked it was just dvd-rom :/. Do you use dvd+r or dvd-r? [03:48] cabrey: I've been trying to figure out how vista can take 19G on fresh install and notepad and media player is just about everything you get. My ubuntu install is currently 10G and that's with all the stuff installed I need and some files even [03:48] dvd -r [03:48] !docx [03:48] Sorry, I don't know anything about docx [03:48] ha1331, some mstards dont believe me when i say vista took 17gb on a fresh install [03:48] ha1331_: Vista is a virus [03:48] ubottu: just what do you know? =) [03:48] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [03:49] cabrey: x64 is about 19G, know this for sure... did the install thing 3 times last months [03:49] Guest60164: If your going to play mess around with the bot you can do it in #ubuntu-bots [03:49] ha1331, same x64 install was about 17 - 19 gb around there [03:49] I am installing an application, and it says it requires 32 bit jre, i have 64 bit.... how do i install the 32 bit? I used sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jre [03:50] lol... no thanx.. i got better things to do... bye all. =) [03:50] !unr [03:50] Sorry, I don't know anything about unr [03:50] !netbook [03:50] Sorry, I don't know anything about netbook [03:50] cool [03:50] cabrey: maybe because I had it with sp2 could explain the difference. Can't justify the 500$ pricetag on it. [03:50] how can I tell X/gdm not to start when I reboot? [03:51] ubottu is alot like wolfram search. Doesn't know anything [03:51] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [03:51] Linux do you have any idea how to get a dvd -ram mutli drive to stop burning coasters in jaunty [03:51] CarlFK1, are you sure you want that? [03:51] hi i am having net optimization problems how do i check the configuration i am only downloading 76kbs and upload 1.3 but my connection is 650kbs download 2.2 mbs upload [03:51] CarlFK1, System > Administration > Services [03:51] cabrey: yes [03:51] zaniel_: could be the disks are they dvd-rw? === Shao`Sa`Vire is now known as Fi [03:52] eaglestar, kilobits or kilobytes [03:52] eaglestar: ubuntu in general is optimized from the start [03:52] kilobytes [03:52] eaglestar: what connection you have, more upstream than down? [03:52] Anyone familiar with not being able to boot from an XP install CD? I'm trying to reinstall XP back onto this machine. (Ubuntu on another) But I just boots directly into Ubuntu (even though BIOS is set to boot from CD before HD) [03:52] cabrey: well, I removed nvidia (doing some debugging) so currently only get a dialog ~"nvidia not found" - was hoping there was something I could do in a shell [03:52] shiznebit, but the last 2 days my net is running super slow [03:53] Linux: actually I tried burning a cdr [03:53] eaglestar, we have to make sure were nnot confusing kilo bits/bytes [03:53] eaglestar: you could try using MultiGet. And do a test download with it. [03:53] zaniel_: are they CD-rw disks? People have reported problems with the -rw. [03:54] The_Frustrated: have you tried it on another computer to see if the disks are even bootable [03:54] Lunux: no it was cdr [03:54] I have used both Gnomebaker and Basero - make sure all he CD-Rom extras are installe - check synaptic [03:54] I am installing an application, and it says it requires 32 bit jre, i have 64 bit.... how do i install the 32 bit? I used sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jre [03:54] eaglestar: 2Mbits is around 2-220KB, atleast that's what I have experienced [03:54] LosFrijoles, yes, the CD works on another machine. [03:55] LosFrijoles, it doesn't recognize any keypress on the "Press any key to boot from CD" message. But I can enter BIOS through keypresses earlier in boot sequence. [03:55] zaniel_: can't think of the name of it - but the package had to do with cd data formats === k is now known as Guest66702 [03:56] Hi. o_o [03:58] The_Frustrated: Is it an older bios? [03:58] Linux I will try that I have the error log for anyone that can read them I am a linux noob [03:58] zaniel_: cdrdao is one of them to add [03:58] LosFrijoles, not really, 4 years or so.. [03:58] is there an issue with 9.04 and ntfs-3g; i'm getting an: error reading from file: input/output error (writes to the drive seem to work at a normal speed, reads work until ~100Mb and then the system will hang, any ideas? [03:59] The_Frustrated: So it does go into the cd menu? [03:59] but it doesn't see keypresses? [03:59] brrybnds, sounds like a bad drive [03:59] LosFrijoles, nope, nothing. Acts as if there isn't a keypress. It is a USB keyboard so i'm wondering if it just isn't registering the keypress at all. But that doesn't make sense, since I can bring up BIOS menu from the start. [04:00] The_Frustrated: are you 100% sure the disk is bootable? [04:00] ha1331_ yes [04:01] ha1331_ 100% [04:01] The_Frustrated: try a different keyboard? [04:01] is there a gnome picasa equivalent? [04:01] zaniel_: Try adding cdrdao through synaptic [04:01] lancerocke, picasa? [04:01] The_Frustrated: or try an adaptor to go from usb to ps2 if your machine has a ps2 input [04:01] Linux thanks [04:01] cabrey, google's picasa yes [04:01] lancerocke, picasa for linux [04:01] LosFrijoles, about to, just pulled it out. =) I know the drive is good as well, because I can see it mounted on my desktop right now. [04:01] zaniel_: your welcome :) [04:01] cabrey, well it lacks some features like 'open file' [04:02] LosFrijoles, brb, trying, [04:02] im haveing issues with firefox freezeing when using adobe flash, in jaunty amd64 fresh install, i also had this issue in an upgrade from intrepid. The problem did not occur using intrepids kernel but it did with jauntys kernel, is there a fix for this? [04:02] The_Frustrated: You seem to have covered most of the options. It's just possible that your particular reader is not compatible with that particular brand of cd-r. Rare, but not unheard of... [04:02] The_Frustrated: try without any hd present, atleast that way you can force it to boot from cd, atleast on some situations/configurations. You wont achieve the goal, but possibly more information [04:02] lancerocke, File > Add file to Picasa... [04:02] hi all [04:02] i also noticed that shutdow/restart some times freezes as well with the new kernel [04:02] cabrey, no 'open file' [04:03] ha1331: i think his cd is booting, but its not getting keypresses at the ubuntu menu [04:03] lancerocke, it's the same thing [04:03] cabrey, like when ur previewing the image and u wanna open the file with ur default image viewer [04:03] lancerocke, you mean double click on image and it will open it with picasa? [04:03] ha1331_: i think his cd is booting, but its not getting keypresses at the ubuntu menu [04:03] LosFrijoles: maybe he's got the keyboard plugged into a hub that isn't being recognized right off the bat? [04:03] cabrey, no i mean 'right click>open file [04:03] Linux it is already added [04:03] is there an application on ubuntu that checks multiple email accccounts, similar to Pop Peeper on Windows? [04:04] cabrey, after u have already double clicked th ethumbnail [04:04] LosFrijoles: hmm, I've experienced the same, but it wasn't matter of not getting key presses, it was just doing something. Needed to wait for a while and then it started to respond [04:04] lancerocke, I right clicked on one of the images and selected open file, then it opened it in eye of gnome [04:04] Linux I think it might of had something to do with using nero linux [04:04] zaniel_: hmm....what program are you using to burn cd's? [04:04] LosFrijoles: while was like 30s or so [04:04] cabrey, not for me. ill show u a screenshot [04:04] Linux look uo [04:04] zaniel_: I didn't know nero had a linux version? [04:04] cabrey: what are you trying to open it ? [04:05] lancerocke, do you have picasa 3 or 2? [04:05] Linux yup apparantly not that good [04:05] I have a thinkpad t41 and I can't get jaunty or intrepid to recognize that I have a wireless card. lspci lshw nor iwconfig show any mention of a wireless card [04:05] zaniel_: did you try the default burner in Gnome? [04:05] Do you use K3B for burning CDs? [04:05] ha1331_: so maybe he isn't waiting long enough [04:05] cabrey, http://www.imagebam.com/image/045f1338411097 [04:05] Linux: not yet [04:05] eem Hi!!, I need help translating open office to spanish -.-, I know its kinda ... but Im newby [04:05] kyzylsungur: I use k3b sometimes... [04:05] cabrey, picasa 3 [04:06] how come linux says my system is TOO SLOW TO PLAY AVCHD --- while with Windows, it plays AVCHD just fine (although a bit choppy, but still, it works!) ... How can I fix this? [04:06] LosFrijoles: dunno, he went a way already, but I have had the same kind of what's wrong with my keyboard thin my self. [04:06] Losher: Which one do you burning software usually? [04:06] do you use :P [04:06] Linux will try as soon as I figure how to burn and Iso with default burner [04:06] Brasero!!! [04:07] Hi. For some reason my sound just stopped working today. I've rebooted but nothing really works. It seems if I use OSS via my sound manager that works, but before all my others worked - Where do you suggest I begin? [04:07] lancerocke, hmm that function works perfectly for me. did you do what the error dialog suggested? [04:07] zaniel_: go to the tools menu in the burner and should be an option there to burn image [04:07] can one upgrade from 8.04 to 9.04 or do you have to start from scratch installing 9.04? [04:07] eem someone can help me T_T [04:07] kyzylsungur: k3b is ok, but there is a bug where it hangs if you ask it to verify. I just skip the verification step. Brasero I found even buggier. I mostly use command-line for burning... [04:07] sam555: look up enabling upgrades to 8.10 and then try upgrading from that [04:08] cabrey, not yet. just thought id go for a liux picasa equivalent instead [04:08] LosFrijoles: other thing that might be, if he tries to press the F3 to choose the keyboard layout on the first screen, that is used to select the lanquage. One actually needs to select the lanquage before being able to do anything else. Might be retard problem, but have seen this happen also. [04:08] LosFrijoles: gotcha1 [04:08] zaniel_: if it is Brasero - last button on the left side, bottom [04:08] sam555: i had to do something like that when i upgraded from 6 to 8.04 [04:08] cabrey, gnome though [04:08] lancerocke, you can try f-spot but imho it is not as good as picasa [04:08] thanks [04:08] lancerocke: there's also digicam [04:08] when creating dual booting computer, is it best to install ubuntu first or vista? [04:08] anybody know why opengl would go into software mode when users are switched? [04:08] zaniel_: If its gnomebaker - its under tools [04:09] sam555: vista [04:09] ive always started out with windows [04:09] thanks [04:09] Scunizi: ok thanks [04:09] sam555: if you do it the other way around then you have to reinstall Grub.. and for someone new that can be a pain. [04:10] sam555: not sure about this, but there might be issues on vista if grub is present, because grub is used on pirated windowses to make the machine appear DELL or HP [04:10] sam555: something to do with how the crack's work [04:11] * Kresnic Can anyone help me ?? [04:11] zaniel_: any luck? [04:11] Linux I open brasero can't find the tools menu [04:11] sam555: this might help http://apcmag.com/how_to_dualboot_vista_with_linux_vista_installed_first.htm [04:11] anybody? [04:11] cabrey: I've run smartmontools on the drive and have come up with this result: http://paste.ubuntu.com/191286/ (it passed, but are there other area's of concern noted) I'll admit I have more experience with failing disks in windows [04:12] !ask | Kresnic [04:12] Kresnic: 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. :-) [04:12] is there a way to burn .toast images in ubuntu? [04:12] zaniel_: sorry, in Brasero its the last button on the left side of the window "Burn Image" [04:12] hey all [04:13] zaniel_: are you seeing it down the left side of the window, not menu bar [04:13] is xchat scripts the same as mirc scripts? [04:13] When I try to mount my floppy drive (mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /media/floppy) I get, "/dev/fd0 is not a valid block device" [04:13] Scunizi: yeah, I'm gonna install vista first and I did find that link [04:13] !wine [04:13] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [04:13] Scunizi: and ha1331: thanks [04:13] no dont use vista [04:13] happyman, I use vista [04:13] why use Vista when Ubuntu takes up less resources? [04:14] good point [04:14] BeatlesFan: well, some applications just don't run on linux [04:14] and its free [04:14] because of direct x 10 :-) [04:14] i use it to game. thats about it [04:14] BeatlesFan: and games if one plays them [04:14] How can X be in a mode my monitor doesn't support when xrandr reports that it is still in my default (working) mode (1280x1024@50)? This happens most often when launching games, sometimes games I am certain use lower resolutions. Attempting to do "DISPLAY=:0 xrandr -s 1" from a console results in X crashing. [04:15] oh yeah.. games [04:15] Jason2gs, does /dev/fd0 exist? [04:15] I use my kid's xbox for games [04:15] Linux rying now it look like it is burning [04:15] hi [04:15] you know it would be cool to have a xchat scriping channel on ubuntu mirc server [04:15] zaniel_: yay! Good luck! [04:15] irc [04:16] anyone use git? [04:16] * linux waves good night [04:16] happyman, try #xchat [04:16] * BeatlesFan has been Windows free for 3 weeks and counting [04:16] does the kernel for intrepid have support for ext4? kernel 2.6.27-11-generic [04:17] BeatlesFan: good for you!

Have a laptop for things I need windows for, so technicly not free of the dicease, but close. === happyman is now known as ibmman [04:18] ha1331_: well, we still use it at work....and I can access work through VPN [04:18] lstarnes, does the kernel source for 2.6.27-11-generic have the capability?

[04:19] Linux didn't burn got an error and close the log accidently before it could complete [04:19] well i installed my system on it before i realized the kernel was going to be a problem [04:19] LinuxNIT: there should be some patches added by .30 [04:19] BeatlesFan: I feel your pain [04:19] BeatlesFan: well, I wouldn't recomend linux for everybody, so kind of understand the policy on some level [04:20] ዘ!

[04:22] lstarnes, ok thanks [04:23] losher: I know nobody uses internet for illegal purposes, we all use it for distro images, but let's say just for the sake of discussion, that one would... usually those sites don't accept not that many clients [04:23] ዘ&ዘ [04:23] ...

I like to keep stuff as simple as possible [04:29] krammer, change desktop background [04:29] TomTommy: some software need's tweaking, but I'm thinking there usually are good instructions how to make it happen [04:29] krammer, visual effects [04:30] i made a remaster and i want the live cd to add a user called 'live' on the startup of the os, how do i do that? [04:30] losher: agree on the principal. Maybe I'm just getting old and stiff on the app's I prefer. [04:30] ha1331: quizme: no shortage of choices.

[04:31] then why say a wimpy card? [04:31] krammer, i didn't KNOW you had one. [04:31] krammer, i thought you didn't have a good video card [04:31] ha1331: one of the sites I use a lot says: "We've banned many clients for either putting too much load on our tracker or behaving in non-standard ways. These banned clients include Shareaza, Fando, eDonkey (libtorrent), MLdonkey, Transmission, BitComet (and any client based on it such as BitLord) and CFNetwork.

[04:38] racecar56: i'm trying to install vista and ubuntu. both will have 125gb dedicated to each drive. within each os I'm making paritions. vista will have a system and data drive. Vista is making them both primary drives. Ubuntu will have a root, swap and home drive with the root being primary. Is there a max on how many primary drives a computer can have?

After that you can create more under the extended partition [04:40] losher: do you want a url? [04:40] Scunizi: thanks much! [04:40] racecar56 can you tell me what I am doing wrong with this installation? [04:40] kohlrak: sorry, I'm out of my depth at this point. Presumably a programming error?

Did you add that yourself? Also, what's the point of that in the first place?

[04:41] swoody, I use madwifi but if you google ath5k ubuntu Jaunty and atheros you should find some help [04:41] sam555: most of your personally created files will reside in /home [04:41] where is some fucking retarded freenode staffer. hey, you, over here! [04:41] #freenode? [04:41] disappearedng, you usually have the ~/.bash_profile source the ~/.bashrc [04:41] it was my understanding that the the server had a desktop GUI [04:41] banned there, race [04:41] Derander: I think it's a configuration parameter in /etc/ssh/sshd_config.

[04:42] Rick316, nope, at least not by default. [04:42] mtw, i dont think so [04:42] losher: i don't know of any help for it, but i would assume that this is an OpenGL bug since this doesn't really do anything overly fancy.. the tut itself shows a triangle and a square XD [04:42] mtw: no, this is #ubuntu not #freenode & if you got banned there you might reconsider your behaviour [04:42] can you tell me how to unstall on or at the least point me to where I can read how to unstall one. [04:42] losher: thanks for your help anyway, i'll see if downgrading to opengl1.0 tuts helps [04:42] unop: I don't have a ~/.bash_profile, do I have to create one or is the direct incorrect? [04:43] install one [04:43] make it [04:43] and sourcing is just . ~/.bashrc [04:43] disappearedng, you can create one [04:43] (which is kinda confusing since instructions always say to "edit" it not "create it or edit it if it already exists") [04:43] Rick316, Why load server if you want a desktop?

[05:13] ok...is there a backup tool for linux that doesn't suck? :) I want one that is smart enough to know that my backup (40 gig) is going to need to use more than one dvd [05:13] Ah. [05:13] krammer: one thing at a time. You still haven't said what kind of file you're trying to play [05:13] Mister: I have experience with that particular model.. what is your question? [05:13] yes [05:14] It's about the wifi button. [05:14] yeah [05:14] I'm sure you know [05:14] D: [05:14] It doesn't illuminate! [05:14] gimme a minute losher finishing setup/config of my siduxbox(sshd) [05:14] Mister: well it never turned the wifi on or off when I last used it.. but then again the wifi was always on [05:14] ixpl: take your time... [05:14] I'm running CrunchBang Linux, which I understand is based on ubuntu, so I figured I could get some help here. [05:15] 'wireless is disabled' [05:15] Problem is, I don't know how to enable it. [05:15] Is there some sort of terminal command that could enable it? [05:15] Mister: have you checked your bios to make sure it is enabled? [05:15] Mister: what wireless hardware do you have? [05:15] How do you completely format your hdd in ubuntu without an xp cd [05:15] mista are using a laptop? [05:15] It worked on XP, so it's not my hardware [05:15] Yeah, HP Pavillion dv1000 [05:16] taylor: using the live cd or an install.. use gparted [05:16] have you checked your network connections? [05:16] its at the top next to your date/time [05:16] Mister: your hardware might not be supported "out of the box". What wireless hardware is in the laptop? [05:16] And I really hate to be one of those guys who come in here and ask questions and don't contribute anything. [05:16] Mister: google how to turn on wireless using fn keys [05:16] How could I check? :D [05:16] fn keys? [05:16] Alright, I'll be right back. Thanks! [05:16] !wireless | Mister [05:16] Mister: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [05:16] fn is the blue key [05:16] bottom left of your keyboard, Mister [05:16] Mister: post the output of lspci to paste.ubuntu.com [05:17] fn+ 5 or up [05:17] and gimme a link [05:17] I really think the easy route is best first, guys... noobs make noob mistakes... trust me, I know [05:17] Scunizi: okay, and when I try to boot with windows xp cd, it gives me a bsod, something about the installer being messed up, will formatting fix this? [05:17] !pastebinit | Mister [05:17] Mister: 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 [05:17] hgfj [05:17] lspci | pastebinit [05:17] Mister: on the top right of your screen there is a network connections icon, right click it and goto 'Edit Connections' [05:17] can someone give me the command to install devede [05:18] Alright, I'm at edit connections. What now? [05:18] Mister: lspci will tell us what hardware you have [05:18] Hah, never thought too many answers would be a good thing [05:18] !devede [05:18] Sorry, I don't know anything about devede [05:18] sudo apt-get install devede? [05:18] goto wireless, Mister [05:18] nautilus always creates a snapshop icon for video files.... with many files in a directory, making these snapshot's takes too long..... how do I make nautilus display the same icon for each video? [05:18] ill try it [05:18] and then add a connection [05:18] I'm there [05:18] you have all the information for the connect, right? [05:19] I don't have a definite connection, I sort of sap my neighbors. Haha. [05:19] So..I'm not sure of the information I'd need to input. [05:19] So it's not password protected? [05:19] does anyone have a suggestion for a good backup utility? I specifically need the ability to use multiple disks...my backup is gonna take like 10 dvds [05:20] If not you can just put in an SSID (the network name) and hit okay [05:20] I'm not picking anything up, because wireless isn't enabled [05:20] I'll try netgear [05:20] 'cause there's always a netgear [05:20] lol [05:20] Mister: please post the output of lspci..use lspci | pastebinit in a terminal and post the link here [05:20] your nic needs to see the network [05:20] hello all, i am having trouble with ubuntu studio its a DAMN 1394 issue, can any one help? [05:21] I'll send a screenie. Brb. [05:21] I don't need a screenshot...I just want to see the output of lspci so I can see what wireless device your laptop uses [05:22] !tab [05:22] You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [05:22] knowing which hardware your laptop uses will allow me to better assist you in getting your wifi setup and working [05:22] Is there a way to install drivers for the sony vaio webcam in ubuntu? I've done some google searches but nothing seems to be conclusive about it. [05:22] ^.^ [05:23] !who [05:23] 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 :) [05:23] jsp: you must know name of your wc [05:23] whatvn: you mean jcp?

[05:36] jcp: Paddy_EIRE: that seems like a misfeature. *Always* on? [05:36] losher: I would not say its always on.. [05:37] heh, I mean like all I have to do is open any webcam-using program in windows and it finds it [05:37] hi there [05:37] as in I don't have to use a switch [05:37] probably whichever application interacts with it turns it on [05:37] Paddy_EIRE: cheese... I don't think I've heard of that [05:37] is there a mp3 player in ubuntu which has plugins like dfx for winamp on windows ? [05:37] will apt-get install cheese get it?

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 ..."

I just upgraded from 8.10 to 9.04... half way through system crashed so I had to continue the upgrade from command line.. unfortunently using an ati card that's no longer supported but as im doing it from command i never got prompted about it not being supported any more [05:40] user654: I don't see much, actually. What little I do see I found via google 'ubuntu dfx' [05:40] for ati, envyng is the way to go [05:40] I've manually fixed everything and using radeonhd driver... but each time i restart my xorg.conf gets overwritten with a near blank template that has no defined drivers or anything [05:41] Been reading the wget man pages a bit, still don't understand how I can use wget to get all of a specific file type from a website? I know its simple, can't seem to get my command to work though... [05:41] any reason why its getting overwritten? [05:41] Trentor_, What are you trying to do that isn't working? [05:42] losher: let me check [05:42] jcp: there seems to be very few responses (none) to that particular problem http://wiki.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1103545 [05:42] Hey, I've got a stupid question. New-ish ubuntu/linux user.. I just upgraded to Jaunty and I'm finding that I can no longer use my mousewheel to scroll between workspaces, nor can I mouse-drag a window from one workspace to the other. Any idea where I might fix this? [05:42] * jcp thinks he'll add a post to that thread too [05:43] I'm running Ubuntu 8.10 Server Edtion, I'm trying to instal the Xserver and start it but I don't know how. I have installed "xserver" and "xserver-xorg" should it work now? [05:43] jcp: You may also want to try this I am not sure of the success rate https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EasyCam [05:43] Ubuntu server only runs on command line ? [05:44] rohit: it can have a gui [05:44] Shouldnt this work, as long as I change the filetype?: wget -r -l1 --no-parent -nH -nd -P/tmp -A".gif,.jpg" http://example.com/images [05:45] TweakedEh: Try: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [05:45] Question: What files are critical to the operating system located in /tmp? [05:46] losher: It's installing now. Thanks. [05:46] Trentor_, none is my guess because it's only used by the OS to store temp files ... if any file is being used it will be locked by the application [05:48] Hi - I am trying to find the menu point System|Settings|Session How do I install firefox 3.5 beta? I am using Netbook Remix on Dell mini 9 [05:50] frybye, I don't see one here ... [05:50] Hi. I'm on an older HP Pavilion Laptop. There is a little IR sensor on the front. I'd like to set it up so I can configure a remote control for input. I installed lirc, but it doesn't seem to find anything. Any chance I'll be able to get this to work? [05:50] frybye, what do you want to do ? I mean what settings does Session supposed to have - maybe it has been renamed [05:50] Trentor_: http://example.com/images doesn't exist. Try it on a site with some images. and use -P/tmp/foo instead so you don't trample on any /tmp files [05:51] # Appears as ANNA [05:51] I am trying to set up a command that will be executed at start of the pc - I want it to run this command " nvidia-settings -l --config=~/.nvidia-settings-rc " [05:52] frybye, Oh lots of people know how to do that here ... unfortunately i dont :D === ndpratas is now known as guest [05:52] rohit: thanks - somebody else...???? [05:52] frybye: to run it once at boot time, put it in /etc/rc.local === guest is now known as guest_bico === freenode_ is now known as AaronMT [05:53] frybye: if it's for your personal account, add it to your own crontab with a time of @reboot [05:53] losher, I think he would want that to run everytime he logs in into his own account [05:53] ubuntu auto configure x [05:54] sorry.. wrong window [05:54] losher: ok thanks. Istarnes - it should run at every reboot - so puting it in /etc/rc.local is right or...? [05:54] Trentor_, have you tried changing the order of the arguments and also doing things like using, "--directory-prefix=/tmp" instead of, "-P/tmp", etc? [05:54] Istarnes I dont know what a crontab is??? [05:54] frybye: if it's for your own account only, use crontab [05:54] hi all, Linux noob here. Is Ubuntu plug and play? In other words, if I just plug in my tv tuner card is that all there is to it? What commands do I need to know if it is installed correctly? [05:54] frybye: see man crontab [05:55] frybye: and man 5 crontab [05:55] frybye: rohit: oh. I thought it was a one time per boot thing, in which case it can go in /etc/rc.local [05:55] Istarnes - it should run for any account [05:55] losher thats because the website is an EXAMPLE, lol [05:55] frybye: then you can't have the ~ in there [05:55] !cron | frybye [05:55] frybye: cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto - There is also a decent Howto at http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/cron&crontab-howto.htm [05:55] Trentor_: well, I ran it, and apart from returning 404, it looked like it would work... [05:56] losher: it IS a one time per boot thing!! [05:56] !details | BitPlacebo [05:56] BitPlacebo: 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 ..." [05:56] Trentor_, wget's syntax can get hairy. I always have to comb through the man page every time I need to use it for anything more trivial than just, "wget http://example.com/somefile" [05:56] frybye: but for all users? [05:56] frybye: then put in in /etc/rc.local... [05:56] all users - yeah... [05:56] ok thanks folks... [05:56] Trentor_, *less trivial* :-) [05:56] oh sorry my bad :D [05:56] frybye: as root, the ~ would expand to /root in that comamnd since rc.local runs as root [05:56] Trentor_, Anyway, good luck. Hope you figure it out. [05:57] frybye: is there any place where that config file can be stored where all users will be able to use it? [05:57] in what form do I put it there?? I need to make a script out of the command - ie put in a text editor and save with a namd *.sh or [05:57] BitPlacebo: "Plug and Play" can be misguiding.. it does not mean that everything will work by magic.. please provide more information, like the TV Tuner card model in question for a start thank you :) [05:58] Istarnes - only one active user on the pc - multiple user qustions dont arise on the whole... [05:58] k, I'm running ubuntu 9.04 Desktop. I just installed a PCI Norwood Micro s800 tv tuner card. I rebooted. Everything seems to have rebooted fine. Is there a command I can run in terminal that will show me if the card is recognized? [05:58] frybye, if I understand correctly, /etc/rc.local is basically a script that gets run each boot. putting the command in that file is like putting in a script. [05:59] BitPlacebo: lspci [05:59] BitPlacebo: could you open a terminal and type "lspci" without quotes and pastebin the output. [05:59] frybye: The question is, when *exactly* should the command run, and by whom? [05:59] nb72 ok i have it now - i some how thought that rc.local was a directory.. fine I have it..

[06:01] instruction I found said to put in in this System|Einstellungen|Sitzung section - but I dont find that here - in eng. system/settings/session or similar - dosent seem to exist in 9.04 [06:01] frybye: replace the --config=~/.nvidia-settings-rc with --config=/home/USER/.nvidia-settings-rc in that command (replace USER with your username) [06:01] frybye: then you can safely place the line in /etc/rc.local, creating the file if necessary. You may want to expand the "~" explicitly so there are no surprises at run time. [06:01] frybye: otherwise it will set the config for root, not your user [06:02] frybye: since that config has to be a per-user thing, it might be better to add it to your personal crontab [06:03] what is the difference between desktop version and server version [06:03] does anyone know anything about the Ubuntu 199 certification? I'm looking for a book or online training. [06:03] let me try putting it in /etc/rc.local and if that works - fine - if it works for root and not user dosent matter or .. needs to work all the time anyhow... [06:04] BitPlacebo: Apparentlysomeone got that card to work with ubuntu, but had to do some fiddling to get it going, see http://www.toddh.net/comphelp/ [06:05] frybye: do you really mean every time the pc starts, or do you actually mean every time the x-server starts? [06:05] frybye: do you really mean every time the pc starts, or do you actually mean every time the x-server starts? [06:05] Anyone know how to list (not search for) the bad sectors on a hard drive? I was trying to look through hdparm and badblocks, but I'm not finding anything. [06:05] frybye: do you really mean every time the pc starts, or do you actually mean every time the x-server starts? [06:06] what is the difference between desktop version and server version [06:06] losher: probably the later... [06:06] * losher says oops [06:06] losher, Being in the military, I'm used to doing things in triplicate. Still... Damn. [06:06] frybye: then /etc/rc.local may not be the right place after all. You'll know after testing it... [06:06] SiliconSavant: :-) [06:07] rc.local dosent seem to exist?? [06:07] losher should I just creat it..?? [06:07] pardon my enter key. I just had to restart chatzilla... [06:08] losher: if a session runs ok it will only have to start xserver once normally or... then wont make much difference or...? [06:08] frybye: yes, you just create /etc/rc.local [06:09] frybye: it should already exist as /etc/rc.local [06:10] frybye: there may be some timing issues. /etc/rc.local runs before any user logs in. The worst that can happen is that the resolution won't be set properly, so its ok to try thiis [06:10] frybye: yes, you just create /etc/rc.local if it doesn't already exist [06:11] dang: brb [06:12] Hi..i had d following partitions on my computer.. C drive (primary) which has win98 then E(extended) drive F(extended) which is for data and then 2 drives one swap 1GB and other 25GB as ext3 drives for Ubuntu.. usually when i used to boot it used to give me ubuntu or windows options then if windows selected win98 or winxp Yesterday i installed win7 now this win7 has wiped out my ubuntu when i start my pc i get 2 options win7 or earlier windows version ( [06:12] win98) but not ubuntu.. can someone help me out as how should i get back ubuntu booting option [06:12] I have a thinkpad t41 and I can't get jaunty or intrepid to recognize that I have a wireless card. lspci lshw nor iwconfig show any mention of a wireless card [06:12] * losher is trying xchat instead of chatzilla [06:12] XChat rawks!

[06:13] SunnyD, yeah [06:13] win7 knocked off my ubuntu booting option is there a way i can get it back [06:13] well I will give it a go now - c u in a bit..

I'd like to use a remote to drive Boxee. [06:17] xFlux: May I ask why you need to issue a gratuitous arp? [06:18] :D [06:18] losher: for failover scripts [06:18] Once I installed Wine, my Laptop fan started going full-blast. But now I reinstalled Ubuntu, the fan stopped. Why does Wine cause the fan to go full blast? [06:18] nb72, It should be possible - have you tried searching Ubuntu forums ? [06:18] and to reset the arp mac at the router level [06:18] hi there buzz [06:18] nb72: I think you can. There is lircd & stuff, but the docs are particularly hideous, even by linux standards...

[06:20] silv3r_m00n: probably your dhcpclient auto configuring resolv.conf [06:20] xFlux: but why the search mshome.net line [06:21] it was changed to this search mshome.net [06:21] nameserver 192.168.0.1 [06:21] not sure? Something set in your router that broadcasts mshome.net? [06:21] Once I installed Wine, my Laptop fan started going full-blast. But now I reinstalled Ubuntu, the fan stopped. Why does Wine cause the fan to go full blast? [06:21] xFlux: no no nothing [06:21] I can't get my cdrom tray to open [06:21] xFlux: there is apparently a GNU Gratuitous ARP Daemon which may do what you want http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/garpd [06:21] the button doesn't do anything, and nor do eject /dev/cdrom or eject /media/cdrom [06:22] but yes I have been doing synaptic upgrades since last few days [06:22] cool, ill look into that losher - thanks [06:22] and /media/cdrom is showing as empty, even though there's a cd in there [06:22] Mkop, if it's jammed you may need to pop it open manually. [06:23] it's not physically jammed [06:23] (at least I don't think it is) [06:23] Mkop, Grab a paper clip, straighten it out, and place it in the small hole on the front of the drive. Goes in a ways, but will open the drawer. [06:23] I think it's a software issue [06:24] dang, where did Mister go? [06:24] Mkop, For me if the button on the front doesn't work, the CD is usually a bit off. If it's a software problem I'm afraid I won't be much help. === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq === Randabis1 is now known as Randabis [06:25] Hi! Ok, I'm running kubuntu 9.04 and I just changed my video card from an ati x300 running opensource drivers to an nvidia 5600 now, I can't do anything in linux, where the login shoudl be it's just a box that says "Cannot display this video mode" [06:26] Please help, I can't use ubuntu otherwise :/ [06:26] !nvida [06:26] Sorry, I don't know anything about nvida [06:26] mib_9d9bl9: Did you uninstall the ATI drivers prior to changing the cards? [06:26] !nvidia [06:26] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [06:26] helps if i could spell [06:26] mib_9d9bl9: when you get to where the login screen should be... try this: Alt + F1 to get you to TTY1 and run "sudo dpkg --reconfigure xorg-server" [06:27] silv3r_m00n: who is your dhcp server? [06:27] losher: eth0 is configured...no dhcp [06:27] its connected to an adsl router [06:27] mib_9d9bl9: Ctrl-Alt-F1 will get you a command line login so you can at least do something to fix it [06:28] WIGGMPk: I did that. And nothing happend. Eventually, I aws able to get to something...But, it was just a dialog box saying something about "start ubuntu in graphcis mode" and it didn't work. [06:28] mib_9d9bl9: after that, if it doesnt automatically bring up a login.. you have to do this.. "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop" than after that.. "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start" [06:28] I think I may need nVidia drivers...I don't have them. [06:28] mib_9d9bl9: ok 1 sec.. [06:28] silv3r_m00n: please confirm, your eth0 is statically configured and you aren't running dhcpclient? [06:28] when ubuntu doesn't recognize a wireless card at all (not listing it in lspci or lshw) what does that mean? [06:29] YES [06:29] mib_9d9bl9: are you comfortable with text editing from the command line? [06:29] matrixblue: if lspci doesn't list it then you're really screwed, that doesn't even require a driver [06:29] silv3r_m00n: then I can't imagine who rewrote your /etc/resolv.conf either. What is the date on that file? [06:29] mib_9d9bl9: I apologize, it should be "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" [06:30] losher: sorry to interject, completely unrelated to silv3r_m00n's problem... do you know how I can keep NetworkManager from overwriting my custom /etc/resolv.conf every time I connect to a wireless network? [06:30] sparr, thanks................ [06:30] WIGGMPk: I can do ok I guess. [06:30] Can we please PM? This i sSOOO confusing out here. [06:30] matrixblue, Is it a USB device? [06:30] sparr: change the permissions on the file so it can't be written by anyone? [06:31] rob_p, no it's built in [06:31] mib_9d9bl9: ok well.. run this "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" and than "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart" (if nothing happens) [06:31] matrixblue, ok [06:31] why does Wine cause the fan to go berserk? [06:31] losher: NM is running as root, so I don't know if that would work, but I will try. easy answers are the best, thanks :) [06:31] Hi, I'm trying to install Cinelerra, but it's being rather difficult. I've tried using wget, but it just downloads something to keyring. If someone could point me to a guide that will tell me step by step, or better yet, tell me themselves how to install Cinelerra, I would greatly appreciate it. [06:32] matrixblue, It should show up on the pci buss then. Does it work under Windows? [06:32] rob_p, yeah [06:32] sparr: Try google next. It's gotta be a fairly common issue... [06:32] matrixblue, Then it almost *has* to show up with lspci -v [06:32] I just got a new computer, it has a dual core amd processor (the sticker on the laptop says X2) so i'm assuming i need the bit version of ubuntu. So i downloaded that and out it on a disk. But when i put the cd in and booted up to it and tried to install ubuntu, it wouldnt ever load. It just got stuck at a black screen with a cursor in the top left. I thought maybe it just had burned a bad cd, so i downloaded another iso and burnned it to anothe [06:32] and it did the same thing. So i put in a normal 386 disk, and it installed, but its running extremely slowly. Does anyone know why it would do this? [06:33] silv3r_m00n: still there? [06:33] losher: common issue doesn't mean there's a common fix :( my NIC has had the nvidia random MAC bug for like 3 years now and no one seems interested in fixing it in the kernel :( [06:33] Question: i've mounted an smb share (an external nas box) via the browse network window in gnome in ubuntu 9.04, and i doubleclicked the device, it added a folder on my desktop and i can browse the content on my nas device, that's all working perfectly. HOWEVER, HOW do i access that mounted device (it says mounted when i rightclick on the icon/link on the gnome desktop) [06:34] losher: yeah [06:34] welp, we got Mister connected [06:34] !Mail Notification [06:34] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [06:34] sparr: some bugs are harder to fix than others.... [06:34] rob_p, nope tried just now [06:34] what is the p2p client for ubuntu running gnome? [06:34] silv3r_m00n: I was wondering what the timestamp on your /etc/resolv.conf was? [06:35] hmmm [06:35] !p2p | k4r1m [06:35] k4r1m: 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 [06:35] anyone know? [06:35] Hi, I'm trying to install Cinelerra, but it's being rather difficult. I've tried using wget, but it just downloads something to keyring. If someone could point me to a guide that will tell me step by step, or better yet, tell me themselves how to install Cinelerra, I would greatly appreciate it. [06:35] losher: I changed it again [06:35] how can I get the timestamp [06:35] rob_p, it's a thinkpad t41 [06:35] basically the device is mounted, but there's no corresponding entry in /mnt ??? [06:35] matrixblue, First time I've ever seen that then. Congrats! :-) [06:36] rob_p, same here lol [06:36] losher: if any idiot comes in looking for a gratuitous ip packet, tell them to use arping -c 1 -U ....it looks like arping can send the MAC address takeover with -U [06:36] but thanks for the help to that page, it helped a bit [06:36] how do I install Mail Notification 5.4 on Ubuntu? [06:36] losher: This one could be "fixed" with just two lines of code... not a fix the kernel devs would be happy with though [06:36] silv3r_m00n: bummer. If we knew the change date we could have looked in the logs to see what was happening around that time. ls -l /etc/resolv.conf [06:36] losher: and it's not QUITE worth the trouble of maintaining my own kernel builds to fix it myself [06:36] hold on [06:37] xFlux: good to know. Doesn't come up often though... [06:37] WIGGMPk: [06:37] sparr: :-) [06:37] I am just stuck using wireless [06:37] Adola: ? [06:37] how about frostwire? i can't seem to get it work keep getting launch errors... [06:37] with my computer 3 feet from the router, that seems like a waste [06:38] matrixblue, You don't suppose they did something stupid like hang it on the USB bus via an internal header or something? lsusb -v (I don't hold much hope for that.) === evergreen is now known as Guest24717 [06:38] losher: :( its showing the time when I edited it 30 mins back [06:38] matrixblue, I've seen crazier things... [06:38] losher: can we try to search the log with resolv.conf text [06:38] ? [06:38] silv3r_m00n: yep, no way to know when the change before that was.... [06:39] how do I install Mail Notification 5.4 on Ubuntu? [06:39] random question: nmapped myself, came up w/ a reasonably sane list of open ports, but there's a super strange one that's tripping me out port 31337 reg to "Elite" (you can see why i'm suspicious...) anyways, everything online says it has to do w/ some kind of backdoor trojan access and some exploitation app developed by the cult of the dead cow called, appropriately enough "Back Orifice"... only thing else i can gather is it may be [06:39] related to psyBNC? anyways, any help here'd be great, it'd go a long way toward solving to know does this come as part of Ubuntu or has something else opened the port? [06:39] jfreekao: http://cinelerra.org/getting_cinelerra.php#apt [06:40] halo [06:40] i'm trying to connect to my ubuntu work machine from home (win xp) [06:40] brummbaer, what process has it open? [06:41] jthomas: or really [06:41] rob, just says "Elite" [06:41] silv3r_m00n: you can type dmesg and look thru that output, but it might not be obvious what's going on. You could pastebin the output so we can all look at it if you want. Btw: I did a quick google, if there's an epidemic of something changing resolv.conf, no-one's talking about it [06:41] i just realized that i left an option on that requires somebody on office end to verify a remote desktop request [06:41] \ [06:41] \ [06:41] \ [06:41] \ [06:41] mattg: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:41] jthomas: lolz pwnd [06:41] jthomas: use SSH [06:41] is there any way i can change it via shell? [06:41] rob_p, in case I'm missing something http://paste.ubuntu.com/191378/ [06:41] losher:I checked too [06:41] frankS2: yeah, i can get in via ssh [06:41] jthomas if you're using a router or firewall you need to port forward the ports for remote desktop [06:41] woops i spoke too soon [06:41] loof: no, i'm in via vpn [06:42] jthomas: Which Ubuntu release? [06:42] yeah there's an option that makes it so you need to accept the connection on the far end [06:42] 9.04 [06:42] jthomas: then why do you need remote desktop [06:42] when you can SSH [06:42] brummbaer, do, "sudo netstat -tlpn | grep 31337" and it should list the process id and program name [06:42] hmm... [06:42] frankS2: gotta use intellij [06:42] frankS2: vi's subpar [06:42] jthomas: i see [06:42] jthomas: ssh -X ;) [06:43] frankS2: haha, already tried that [06:43] proxy server doesn't have X [06:43] installed [06:43] matrixblue, Yeah, I don't see it either. [06:44] jthomas: Proxy server? The client you ssh in from, does that have an X11 server? [06:44] the proxy server needs to have X? what does it care? it's SSH - how does it even know what's in the packets it's transmitting? [06:44] rob_p, lsusb -v http://paste.ubuntu.com/191380/ [06:44] yep, so it's client --> proxy server (subnet mask) --> my machine [06:44] my machine and client have X [06:44] proxy doesn't [06:45] Cabrey: you still here bro? [06:45] you ssh to the proxy server? [06:45] jthomas:: i think i found it: To disable SECURITY option (Ask you for confirmation), use this command: [06:45] gconftool-2 -s -t bool /desktop/gnome/remote_access/prompt_enabled false [06:45] Mkop: exactly [06:45] haha, oh man. good call rob_p... i had just been running "sudo nmap -sS -O "... anyways, it comes back as portsentry, which is cool with me, just installed it the other night, which also explains why that port was unrecognized.. [06:45] matrixblue, Yeah, not there either. Bummer dude! [06:45] loof: awesome, i'll try it right now [06:45] jthomas: don't. set up an ssh tunnel [06:45] I think that should fix it [06:45] Mkop: how? [06:45] not sure though [06:45] google [06:45] :-P] [06:45] Mkop: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:45] Mkop: alright, i'll look around [06:45] lol [06:45] http://www.samlesher.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-704-enabledisable-remote-desktop-from-the-command-line that was the site i found that on [06:45] rob_p, yeah I'm not giving up though [06:45] brummbaer, Cool deal. I can hear the sighs or relief! [06:46] jthomas: It's possible to change the vino config with gconftool-2 [06:46] loof: thanks [06:46] so yeah if ANYONE knows how to access a mounted smb share via the commandline, PLEASE HELPP =[ [06:46] rob_p, no kidding. *kicks self* [06:46] geirha: hold on, let me try loof's [06:46] jthomas: did that fix it? [06:46] hi all could I look for the files of windows directory in terminal [06:47] jthomas: But new from 8.10, you need to set the env variable DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS [06:47] oobe: Would installing a 32 bit version on a computer made for 64 make performance exceptionally slow? (like im experiancing now) [06:47] geirha: how would i do that? === Tux is now known as Out_Cold [06:47] loof: not sure, gotta go to my windows comp [06:47] one sec [06:48] jthomas: to set up the tunnel: ssh -L 22222:remotemachine:22 -p 22 -NftXC you@proxy. To connect using it: ssh -XC -p 22222 you@localhost [06:48] I just got a new computer, it has a dual core amd processor (the sticker on the laptop says X2) so i'm assuming i need the bit version of kubuntu. So i downloaded that and out it on a disk. But when i put the cd in and booted up to it and tried to install kubuntu, it wouldnt ever load. It just got stuck at a black screen with a cursor in the top left. I thought maybe it just had burned a bad cd, so i downloaded another iso and burnned it to anot [06:48] and it did the same thing. So i put in a normal 386 disk, and it installed, but its running extremely slowly. Does anyone know why it would do this? [06:49] jthomas: Haven't found any easy way of doing it. I usually just look at nautilus' env. cat /proc/`pidof -s nautilus`/environ | tr '\0' '\n' | grep ^DBUS_SESSION [06:49] loof: something like: mount -t cifs -o nosuid,rw,uid=XXX,gid=YYY,username=ZZZ,password=AAA //server/share /mnt. You have to fill in the XXX,YYY,ZZZ,AAA,server & share [06:49] Mkop: aha, thanks [06:49] geirha: ok, i'll set that too [06:50] jthomas: 22222 is the port you're opening on your machine which points, via the proxy, to remotemachine:22 [06:50] losher: thanks! [06:50] max_: what version did you install in the end, then? [06:50] but where do i find the uid and gid?? [06:50] losher: the 32bit version of Kubuntu 9.04 === chaky_ is now known as chaky [06:51] losher: but it is VERY VERY slow [06:51] loof: you choose them yourself from /etc/passwd. Choose the main user you login as [06:51] Mkop: what's the format for remotemachine? [06:51] Anybody know how to figure out the quality and/or average bit rate of a VBR MP3? [06:51] max: download ubuntu 9.04! [06:51] mplayer gives me 128kbit which is entirely wrong, it even says 128 on 320kbps CBR mp3s [06:51] mpg123 -t just says "VBR" [06:52] mp3info -x is the same [06:52] you can just get the straight x86/32 bit version unless you have more than 3gb ram, then get the 64 bit version [06:52] max_: 9.04 has known performance problems, particularly with intel chips I think. I suggest you download 8.04.2/32 bit instead & retry... [06:52] jthomas: that's just the IP address or internet name of the machine you're connecting to [06:52] :u could try ubuntu 9.10,are u sure there is no problem with u hardware [06:52] losher: but do i NEED to input the uid and gid? can i just not use them at all? [06:52] that line might be, for example, 22222:123.123.45.45:22 [06:52] Mkop: subnet IP? [06:53] losher: its an AMD chip. Will the 32bit version see both cores and 3gb of ram on the comp? [06:53] jthomas: you mean, b/c the machine isn't accessible over the internet, just over intranet? [06:53] Mkop: exactly [06:53] proxy first [06:53] jthomas: probably, it's whatever the proxy server knows that machine as [06:54] whatever you would put when sshing from proxy to remotemachine [06:54] max_: yes, it should work fine with your dual core amd [06:54] how can I view PDF files through Firefox please? [06:54] can anyone give me any recommendations for something that will integrate a news RSS feed into my desktop background? In Kubuntu. [06:54] how can i check what kind of cpu socket does my mobo use from ubuntu? [06:55] !pdf [06:55] pdf is the Portable Document Format created by Adobe; viewable in GNU/Linux with xpdf/kpdf/okular/evince, and also adobe reader (free download, but closed source) [06:55] myself: conky with a call to an external script can do that. google conky rss [06:55] loof: dunno, according to the web page, it depends on the server. So try it & let us know... :-) [06:55] !pdf in firefox? [06:55] Sorry, I don't know anything about pdf in firefox? [06:55] conky rss? no im looking for a widget cause KDE runs w/t hose [06:55] losher: Will 9.10 have these performance problems worked out? I'd been running an old box for nearly 10 years and was hoping that this new machine would finally let me use the lastest stuff (it seems im just doomed with computers) [06:55] !firefox pdf? [06:55] Sorry, I don't know anything about firefox pdf? [06:55] Mkop: gotcha [06:55] i dont need to install conky if i have KDE and its full of stuff like that which will integrate into the background, i m just looking for something maybe someone has expereince with, a specific widget [06:55] jthomas: http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/21/how-to-ssh-tunnels-for-secure-network-access/ [06:55] myself: you said 'into my desktop background' and I assumed you meant the kind of thing conky does. [06:56] is there an encryption lib shipped with ubuntu? [06:56] Mkop: thanks, let me look [06:56] conky does it, but widgets in KDE are better [06:56] TomTommy: install adobe reader for firefox and possibly the associated plugin [06:56] jthomas: that's the URL someone pointed me to looong ago when I had a similar thing. The example I gave you were modified from my .bashrc aliases [06:56] kbrosnan: ok, sudo apt-get install acroread ? [06:56] max_: there's no telling. Latest isn't always greatest. 8.04.2 is a good choice for a newbie because it has long term support & its very stable [06:56] Anybody know how to figure out the quality and/or average bit rate of a VBR MP3? [06:56] mplayer gives me 128kbit which is entirely wrong, it even says 128 on 320kbps CBR mp3s [06:56] mpg123 -t just says "VBR" [06:56] mp3info -x is the same [06:57] TomTommy: yeah [06:57] dmsuperman: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:57] TomTommy: I'd probably install the acrobat reader plugin from within firefox [06:57] Mkop: how? [06:57] hey guys, how can i get my system hardware info [06:57] ? [06:57] Mkop, evince does good enough... [06:57] losher: im hardly a newbie as far as kubuntu goes, ive been using it since lat 05 or early 06. Ive just never had a decent machine to put it to use on. [06:57] TomTommy: from the add-ons window [06:57] Mkop: I dont want adobe, but want to view PDF files in firefox.. any solution? [06:57] unique: It might be listed by lshw. "sudo lshw -html >/tmp/hardware.html && firefox file:///tmp/hardware.html" [06:57] Mkop: add-ons window? [06:57] in a CLI, i don't use a graphical inteface [06:58] TomTommy: tools -> Add-ons [06:58] replace firefox with lynx [06:58] max_: my mistake. Feel free to ignore my advice on what to run in that case... [06:58] Mkop: what I do there? [06:58] TomTommy: I don't know if anyone else makes a pdf plugin for firefox [06:58] i need help with my remaster of ubuntu, to add a user called 'live' with the password 'password' on startup [06:58] TomTommy: you need a program that provides a plugin that handles pdfs, to the best of my knowledege adobe reader is the only such plugin [06:58] Mkop: :( [06:58] losher: It seems that is what im going to have to do anyway, Since 9.04 is running so horrible slow. [06:58] TomTommy: go to the get addons tab, search for pdf, see what you find [06:59] kbrosnan: i hear ya. ok. i will install acroread then [06:59] losher: Thanks for the help anyway. [06:59] kbrosnan: thanks [06:59] Hilikus: sudo lshw | less [06:59] max_: good luck... [06:59] Mkop: its ok, i must install acroread. [06:59] TomTommy: I took a similar approach of not wanting adobe, and installed gnash for viewing swf files, but realized pretty quickly that adobe is better [06:59] Mkop: ok [06:59] ma ubuntu system gets always hanging can anybody help me in solving this problem [06:59] thanks === |404NotFound| is now known as error404notfound [07:00] TomTommy: or you can settle for viewing pdf files outside of your browser [07:00] emacs: completely frozen system? [07:00] i made a remaster of ubuntu but i cant log in the live cd, how do i make it make a correct user [07:00] Mkop: citibank only allow to view my monthly statement through website, as PDF format.. wont let me download. [07:01] jtaji:ya may be about 20 min or half an hour after it resumes automatically [07:01] hey jthomas, did that fix work to get your remote desktop session working?? [07:01] TomTommy: if so, you may need acroread [07:01] Mkop: how would I view pdf file outside of firefox anyway? [07:02] TomTommy: go to any site with a pdf and you'll see [07:02] Mkop: what program can be used besides acrobat? [07:02] jtaji:hello plz help me [07:02] TomTommy, just use a PDF reader. I recommend using something like epdf or Okular or something open-source.. Adobe has horrible security issues. [07:02] Mkop: what do you mean? [07:02] you need to have more of an adventurous spirit if you're using linux [07:02] loof: all i needed was the default gnome directory [07:02] loof: /desktop isn't a folder [07:02] ah [07:03] but it worked? [07:03] FeasibilityStudy: whats the smallest to install? I only have low monthly quota,. hence why I tried to avoid having to download 60MB of Adobe [07:03] loof: nope, that's why it didn't work [07:03] TomTommy open Synaptic and search for PDF readers [07:03] anybody plz help me.........:( [07:03] so you still can't remote desktop in? [07:03] FeasibilityStudy: ok ty [07:04] i need help with my remaster of ubuntu, to add a user called 'live' with the password 'password' on startup [07:04] TomyTommy I use Kubuntu and it comes with Okular, which is pretty good.

[07:33] jthomas: yeah, when you do the ssh -XC is when the proxy actually tries to connect to the remote machine. it could be, as the error message says, this is administratively prohibited. [07:34] imagine that, an error message being accurate [07:34] GSKsiusha2, which is installed first [07:34] bazhang: from what people say on the forums, ati dropped driver support for that card [07:34] Mkop: i know, incredible [07:34] Mkop: yeah, i'll check with my sysadmin tomorrow [07:34] vista is [07:34] anoop__: have you tried any other version of ubuntu?

[08:09] i have set fstab entery . and type mount -a command its work fine . but at boot time its not working . system going to hang [08:09] is there a echo server package? [08:09] josa01: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo [08:09] josa01: do you have _netdev in the options? [08:10] Myrtti: Just explained, no accusations :-D I do get that you tried your best to help [08:10] MusashiOrig: hehe ok [08:10] no , just set "default" as option [08:13] josa01: if you don't have network up when the fstab is read and mounted, it will hang. look into that, the man mount has some good pointers to which I always resort [08:14] I'm having problems with Wikipedia, in Firefox 1.9.0.10. I'm using Ubuntu 8.10, and the math (formulas in Latex) aren't rendered in Wikipedia! Is there anything I can do to fix this? [08:14] Is it a known problem? [08:14] hm, perhaps try to switch from xinerama to randr and see if that does it for my monitors [08:14] I'm running updates on a regular basis, as Ubuntu tells me to [08:14] joakimk: it shouldn't have anything to do with your ubuntu [08:15] Myrtti: Firefox, then? [08:15] joakimk: could you give me a link to an article that you experience this with? [08:15] Myrtti: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fano's_Inequality [08:16] joakimk: ummm ... *what* version of Firefox?! [08:16] Myrtti: *some* of the math is there, but almost everything in the "Fano's Inequality" paragraph is gone [08:16] aren't they png-images? [08:16] do you guys thing it would be a bad thing to setup ubuntu to use a home partition I already use for archlinux? I use gnome in ubuntu and ratpoison under arch so configs won't get messed up..but what else should I be careful with? [08:16] 1.9.0.10 [08:16] 1.9.10 of gecko is 3.0.10 [08:16] joakimk: they're all png images, so they should work [08:16] Myrtti: well... :) [08:16] joakimk: i think you're confusing engine and app release #s [08:16] wraith0x2b, no problem [08:16] Hi [08:16] Myrtti: The only one working in that section, is "H(e) = − P(e)logP(e) − (1 − P(e))log(1 − P(e))" [08:17] Myrtti: I typed "about:" in the address bar [08:17] joakimk: have you tried refreshing the page with ctrl-f5? [08:17] joakimk: that's because that is a text line [08:17] no, shift-f5 [08:17] only the standard apps like your browser and such will be sharing config files which is almost always ok.. [08:17] Myrtti: yes. the problem is quite persitant [08:17] joakimk: you have a problem with showing png-images [08:17] I need a software for viewing the bandwidth usage by programs ... HELP ME [08:18] perbl: apparently... but I haven't noticed this outside wikipedia [08:18] try to search for png-images in google, and I think you will have the same problem [08:18] Myrtti: how can i check the network is up ? i have set auto to up interface at boot time . i can see mesg before nfs-common service . have any other way to check to network is up ? [08:18] perbl: no, I can view PNG fine... just tried it [08:18] josa01, ping [08:18] strange... [08:18] perbl: and, *some* images (formulas in wikipedia) *do* appear [08:18] josa01: are you on wireless or ethernet? [08:18] joakimk: have you checked the file type on those? [08:19] Myrtti: wireless... but I don't think that could be it...? [08:19] perbl: how's that? [08:19] joakimk: see if they are images and not text as the one you can ciew on the page you just posted [08:19] also, see if they are png or jpg-images [08:19] perbl: thing is, the images that don't appear, aren't shown *at all* -- no broken images or anything. Just gone [08:19] nothing to click on [08:20] joakimk: if NetworkManager deals with your network, the interfaces may be up before fstab is read and used, but it will not mean there's network connection available [08:20] perbl: nothing wrong with the wiki article -- if I edit it, I can see the latex math there [08:20] I was not talking about the missing ones, I meant the ones you saw :) [08:20] Myrtti: ethernet [08:20] lol [08:20] perbl: gotcha [08:20] joakimk: yeah, but the latex math is processed into a png-image on the server side [08:21] if you view the page source (not the wiki source), you will only see a png-image included on the page [08:21] can someone please help me with my partition? [08:21] perbl: hm, the ones that are there, appear to be text. What do you think; I can see the "H(e) = − P(e)logP(e) − (1 − P(e))log(1 − P(e))" part [08:21] of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fano's_Inequality [08:21] joakimk: yeah [08:21] Myrtti: I don't follow... [08:21] lex0, probably.. state your problem [08:21] joakimk: sorry [08:21] perbl: apart from that one, I have " The Fano's inequality is [08:21] H(X|Y)\leq H(e)+P(e)\log(r), [08:21] where [08:21] H\left(X|Y\right)=-\sum_{i,j} P(x_i,y_j)\log P\left(x_i|y_j\right) [08:21] is the conditional entropy,sorry [08:21] joakimk: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:21] paste error [08:22] interesting though... (sorry for flooding, was an accident [08:22] bluejeans: ok if i show u an output of my partitions now can you help me setup a separate partition so that i can use windows(juss want it for games and music stuff) [08:22] perbl: but my flood-paste does show that the images are there; I obviously get the alt-text when I copy-pasted [08:23] joakimk: yeah [08:23] hang on a sec [08:23] Hello, when I log out in kde with a gtk app like firefox open, and log back in, kde starts a firefox with non-themed gtk look (or perhaps another gtk version?). How do I remedy this? [08:24] moin === amit is now known as Guest8010 [08:24] any one can help to deploy firestarter [08:24] eggy; dont leave ff open when you close :p [08:24] Schwag: well, that's not an option [08:24] how can I time a query on the commandline? I have tried this: date;curl "http://www.nytimes.com/";curl [08:24] joakimk: can you see http://unixgen.com/~perbl/tmp/1b3af5de72121cf46c0f968dd3651ace.png [08:24] joakimk: you need to install math fonts [08:24] close ff before you log out [08:24] However it only measures seconds [08:25] barf: 'time' [08:25] will it tell me fractions of secs as welll? [08:25] Schwag: surely that's only a workaround [08:25] barf: try it and see for yourself [08:25] help needed to deploy firestarter [08:25] pretty: yes [08:25] kbrosnan: yeah? [08:25] Schwag: and one that doesn't fit my requirements === zorazar_ is now known as zorzar [08:26] perbl: yes, I can see that PNG [08:26] eggy ff does that o any os, mac,x,windows etc, you have to close it beofre you log out [08:26] kbrosnan: How do I do that, using apt-get? :) [08:26] joakimk: seems like you have something specific to wikipedia then, that image was saved from the article [08:26] perbl: but how is that possible? [08:27] joakimk: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/mathml/fonts/ [08:27] kbrosnan: why does he need math fonts, when there are png-images he is struggling with? [08:27] Schwag: oh I see. I guess I'll have to stick with that then. Thanks [08:27] np [08:27] he sees the stuff written in text, it is the images that are the problem [08:27] perbl: afik wikipedia trys to use mathml in some locations [08:27] comman sence really [08:27] perbl: but, since I can see your PNG -- would you still say the problem is with png-images? [08:27] kbrosnan: but the source seems to display only a png-image? [08:28] eggy_: time does the job, thank you :-) [08:28] joakimk: but try the math fonts, might be some magic here that I am not aware of :) [08:28] Thanks, trying it [08:29] hello [08:29] any good gui sftp for *nix? [08:30] Piratero: Filezilla [08:30] thanks [08:30] kbrosnan: I can't find any install info (at least that I understand) [08:30] kbrosnan: do I have to compile the source, or something? [08:31] kbrosnan: OK, the box on the right, perhaps? ;) [08:32] you can place the styx beta fonts in ~/.fonts and run the command to recache the fonts [08:32] or logout and in [08:33] kbrosnan: urk... Can I really extract an exe file in Linux? [08:34] http://www.mozilla.org/projects/mathml/fonts/stix/STIXBeta.zip O.o [08:34] thanks [08:35] anyone here an ati x200m card?

[08:36] why [08:36] kbrosnan: .fonts/ [08:36] yep [08:37] kbrosnan: If I (for some unknown reason) haven't got a .fonts/ dir, should I just create it? [08:37] yes [08:38] I'm trying to patch this mesa source [08:38] there is this guide that tells me to edit this .c file, but what do I do aftwards? [08:39] kbrosnan: Ok, restarting X -- thanks for the help, hope it works :) [08:39] on bash4, PS1 doesn't seem to work being set [08:39] has it changed? [08:40] kbrosnan: no... still no math at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fano's_Inequality :( [08:41] But, you guys are using ubuntu, right? And firefox? And you all see the math at this Wiki page? [08:41] going nuts on this [08:41] tools > page info > permssions > load images settings? [08:42] kbrosnan: hehe... Use Default: Allow [08:43] the admin should hide those in and out messages, too annoying [08:43] skyfollian; hide them from your irc client [08:43] yeah, good idea [08:44] Hm, if I go to Page Info > Media, I get a lot of greyed out PNG images with address, http://upload.wikimedia.org/math/a/[some hash].png [08:44] skyfollian, from my understanding of the protocol, thats impossible without removing the ability to have a channel list, as the messages are used for that as well [08:44] with dimensions 0x0 px [08:44] that's a lcue! [08:44] clue [08:44] no idea aboot how it works [08:45] hold on, "Block images from upload.wikimedia.org"! WHat the hell? [08:45] hehe [08:45] bernard [08:45] sorry, y'all.. but that's just weird. Well, that should fix it [08:45] problem solved hopefully [08:45] perbl: yes :) [08:45] goodie [08:45] perbl: hm... very odd. [08:46] thanks for the help, though :) [08:46] anybody used GNUkhata? [08:47] IDENTIFY v8 <111333> [08:49] ? [08:50] done [08:50] Does anyone else have problems with the resolution being broken at some boots seemingly at random? When this happens I can't change resolution or anything, only thing to do is to reboot. It's getting a bit irritating now as it happens around every third boot or so. [08:51] been there myself, dunno how to solve it [08:51] help [08:51] in what ways does the resolution break? [08:51] the resolution set won't stay [08:51] Peoples! [08:51] hoohaah, it just goes to 1024x768 at 50 Hz with no possibility o change it [08:51] What is admin? [08:52] when I reboot it goes back to normal [08:52] so something seems wrong with the graphics drivers not loading or something [08:52] Tmi: is you monitor hooked up via dvi? [08:52] *your [08:52] The weird thing is that it only happens on every third boot or so :P [08:52] hoohaah, I actually have two monitors hooked up, one via dvi and one via normal vga [08:53] how did you configure both? [08:53] by nvidia-settings [08:53] separate x-screens [08:53] are both monitors the same res? [08:54] nope ... one is 1024x768 and the other 1680x1050 [08:54] skyfollian: what about you? [08:54] guess would be the driver wasn't properly installed === MadMax is now known as Guest35587 [08:54] Tmi: FYI I don't have a solution :D I only ask as I'm trying to diagnose my problem too :) [08:54] 1400X1050 [08:55] it breaks after reboots [08:55] you have the same problem? [08:55] yeah [08:55] what's the offtopic channel? [08:55] 1920x1080 and 1600x1200 [08:55] how often does it happen for you guys? [08:55] every time it reboots [08:55] !offtopic [08:55] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [08:55] it happens after init successfully loads, right before gdm kicks in [08:55] nvm :3 [08:56] i have to manually set the resolution(s) durinmg the session. Reboot undoes any of my changes [08:56] But is it like for me that at some startups it works fine with no problems, while at some it does not and requires a reboot to work? [08:56] Tmi: it might be the drivers, as skyfollian mentioned. [08:56] I'm using the same [08:56] which Ubuntu release is this? [08:56] 8.04 [08:57] can't find anything on bugtracker remotely similar [08:57] I'm on 8.10 atm, but I had the same thing happen in 9.04 [08:57] damn. it's not consistent then. Everything was fine until 9.04 for me [08:57] Well, I'll try reinstalling the driver and see if that helps, otherwise I guess I'll make a thread about it on the forums [08:57] i will install the 9.04 tonight [08:57] when I run sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-`uname -r` linux-source-`uname -r` I got E: Couldn't find package linux-source-2.6.27-7-generic [08:58] 9.04 has one helluva sexy splash screen (gdm) [08:58] wish it'd use native resolution of my first montior though :( [08:58] 9.04 does not go well with my eyes for some reason :P, I always get sore eyes fast in it even though resolution, fonts etc are the same [08:58] i 'd probably compile the kernel downloaded from other sources myself [08:59] hey everyone [08:59] I wanted to ask if the is a way of increasing virtual memory in ubuntu [08:59] mintux: if this is a custom kernel, use make-kpkg to build kernel_image as well as modules_image (if needed) and linux_headers [08:59] and is it recommended [08:59] nvidia 8400GS video card, lol [08:59] Tmi: it's probably the refresh rate [09:00] nah that's the same too [09:00] that is what makes it so weird :P [09:00] whois: it's not needed, usually. And by virtual memory- do you mean swap space? [09:00] I had just the same problem in archlinux [09:00] I think it has something to do with the new xorg rendering or something [09:01] I mean the equivalent of vidown were you can free up diskspace to use as RAM [09:01] yeah, the rendering part pisses me off [09:01] whois: that's swap at work [09:01] there, three separate screens working fine [09:02] whois: cat /proc/swaps [09:02] swap myfriend, just turn it off, swapoff [09:02] now just to trick all three into one giant screen without using xinerama, and I should be good to go :) [09:02] Thank you [09:02] is ti recommended though [09:02] delete the partition, builda new one with yr free disk space [09:02] thanks [09:02] whois: well, it's only recommended if you're extremely low on ram [09:03] whois: you'd need to consider ram usage at it's peak [09:03] thanx Hoohah, you are god [09:03] of cos, dun forget yr fstab [09:03] a god* [09:03] without needing to manually partition again to increse swap (if you had it on a separate partition,) you can always use a swap file [09:04] whois: actually, I'm a crude slang term ;) [09:04] yeah, similar to pagefile of windows [09:04] seems I was using nvidia-177 instead of nvidia-180 [09:04] Hope that fixes my problems, will try a few reboots now and see [09:04] but I guess I can be worshipped by some.. so 'God' would be fitting then :) [09:04] lol [09:04] Does anyone know how to rotate window in plane in Ubuntu? [09:05] zhjawe: whats a plane? [09:05] Thanx anyway, I am in canada, and if u checkout the Canada ubuntu site - you would writhe with anger. [09:05] X Y Z [09:06] indus:in desktop. [09:06] whois: that's more a blog than anything, right? [09:06] I want to develop a g-sensor enviroment. [09:06] zhjawe: isnt that done by compiz [09:07] dinner [09:07] indus:What is option in compiz? [09:07] I looked at it, there had more of a news update thing. I just thinkUbuntu is great, and it should be marketed more. [09:07] hoohaah: aussie? [09:07] and Marketing starts with an interactive blog/website [09:08] zhjawe: cube effect i think but iam not sure i understand your question [09:08] heya... i've got a 9.04 machine here which seems to have very poor ethernet performance... its on a 100Mbit network but TCP (measured with NPtcp) peaks out at 7 Mbit/s - nothing i can see in the logs - any ideas? [09:08] lan card? [09:08] try diffrent one? [09:08] indus:Thank you,i will try it. [09:09] try changing yr cable to see how it goes [09:09] skyfollian, builtin lan... and buying a new one is not really an option... but yeah will try the cable! [09:10] zhjawe: somewhere in window management in compiz conf settings manager [09:11] Iäve tried reinstalling the new driver, and it seems to have solved my problem. Tried a couple of reboots now and each time the resolution was fine :) [09:11] hi === Sky-Spy is now known as jefry [09:13] yeah, driver [09:13] is there any kvm frontend for 8.04 that actually works? virt-manager fails to start any non-debian-based machine not created pre-8.04 and qtemu seems to hang once in a while as well [09:13] i was not able to install 180 driver on my box, no idea, now i will try 9.04 === v8 is now known as tumann [09:14] Д [09:15] can somone help me with aptitude? i have accidentially installed vim-full on a non-X-server and want to undo the installation of all these packages [09:15] but uninstalling vim-full just removes this one package.. the other 158MB of unused data stay on the system.. [09:17] \msg NickServ identify <123698741> [09:17] Dbug: try "sudo aptitude autoremove" [09:17] wtf [09:17] tumann, r u serious [09:17] skyfollian: mind your language [09:17] sorry [09:17] tumann: time to change passwords [09:18] classic irc mistake :D [09:18] no swearing here, huh? [09:18] skyfollian: no [09:18] tsimpson: does not work - this option is not available ( hardy ) [09:19] very quick reaction, lol [09:20] Dbug: ok, try with "sudo apt-get autoremove", if that fails you can try using (and installing) deborphan [09:21] tsimpson: thx - i'll try deporphan [09:21] or reinstall the server... === NCommander is now known as ApportRetracerPo [09:22] hi === ApportRetracerPo is now known as NCommander [09:22] My system is booting slowly, but I can't see what it's doing because of the splash screen. How can I see the boot messages? [09:23] Dbug: aptitude should also keep a log of what was installed/removed in /var/log/aptitude*, so you could look in there before resorting to a reinstall [09:23] /var/log/boot? [09:24] tsimpson: i found that already but how to uninstall all of these packages without geting into the trouble of their dependencies? [09:24] aidehua, edit /etc/grub/menu.lst. From all the kernels in the list at the bottom, remove quiet, splash, etc. [09:24] joetheodd_: sure. I actually wanted to see what it was doing at the moment. [09:25] joetheodd_: aidehua: just remove "splash", not "quite". unless you want lots of kernel messages [09:25] (I was pretty sure I could press escape, or something, and the splash screen would be replaced with what would've been shown, if splash wasn't on. [09:25] Good morning! I'm using an PCMCIA UMTS card to connect to the web. If I activate my Wireless LAN the System always uses the WLAN as it's standard connection. But I want to be on the internet via UMTS and want to be plugged into the WLAN, as well. How can I do that? [09:25] Dbug: apt/aptitude should want to remove the unused dependencies for you, once it sees a package is unused [09:25] skyfollian, thanks it was the network cabling [09:25] yw [09:26] * aidehua gave up and just reset anyway, and the second boot was fine. [09:26] exit [09:26] felix_, not sure I understand. You want to have two connections enabled? [09:27] tsimpson: it unfortunately issnt.. i am new to debian / ubuntu / apt / aptitude so i do not know if i have something wrong on my installation [09:27] joetheodd: Right! I want to share my Internet via the WLAN connection! [09:27] felix_: You'll need to set up appropriate routes; for instance, make the UMTS connection your default route, then set up a route for your network's IP range to go via the wifi connection [09:27] felix_: You'd do that with the cunningly-named 'route' command [09:28] bigpresh, from my experience, a prerequisite is a bottle of ibuprofein on your desk. You'll figure out why. [09:28] joetheodd_: Hehe :) [09:29] bigpresh: Okay, I'll try figuring something out via the wiki - and if I don't have any clue, I'll ask again :D [09:29] Dbug: it probably has to do with all the gnome dependencies, when removing libglib2.0-0 and libx11-6 most of it will be removed [09:30] tsimpson: vim-full has only vim-comon wich has vim-gnome.. and there the mess starts.. [09:31] Dbug, for troubleshooting dependencies, try apt-cache showpkg [packagename] [09:31] Dbug, that'll list off all the dependencies and what's depending on it. [09:31] Dbug: libglib2.0-0 is the base library that everything in gnome depends on, and libx11-6 is the library for X.Org. so when they are removed pretty much every X app will be too [09:32] tsimpson: i'll try that *g* [09:34] its installing vim-gtk now.. befor removing other libs !? [09:34] is there a command I can use to move all files in a directory, to another directory? [09:34] it shouldn't install anything... [09:34] i'm installing ubuntu for the first time :) :) :) :) :) [09:34] AdvoWork: mv dir1/* dir2 === zorzar is now known as zorzar_ [09:35] i guess if i were you, i would leave the installed crap there, avoid breaking the system, just 100 megabytes === zorzar_ is now known as zorzar [09:35] This id dhutdown menu for debian: http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/1326/shutdownmenu.jpg [09:35] This is for Ubuntu:http://images.howtoforge.com/images/wubi_ubuntu_on_windows/big/25.jpg [09:35] @AdvoWork cp /destination/directory/ /source/directory/* [09:36] How can I make Debian's shutdown menu look like the one in ubuntu? [09:36] Tiede: that will not move, but copy [09:36] @AdvoWork ooops! I meant mv. cp merely copies files.... [09:36] Tiede: and it's the wrong way [09:37] @Janhouse install fast-user-switcher applet [09:37] Tiede other than that its not bad :-) [09:37] how can I set default program for a file extienson what I don't currently own? For example I want to set smplayer for all mkv files but I don't actually have an mkv file, and I don't want to create one just to be able to use nautilus->right click->properties->open with->set default program. And/or do anyone know where gnome/nautlius keeps the default program associations? [09:37] server socallinux.org [09:37] oops [09:38] @koshari good point! (wow, what's with me tonight...) [09:38] tsimpson: removing these two libs seems to help me out of my misery *g* [09:38] Tiede I have it installed [09:39] naxa i would suspect it would be somewhere in gconf-editor [09:39] then right-click on the panel and select add applet. then select User Switcher [09:39] no need to go in gconf-editor for that ;) [09:40] koshari, a person I've asked before just found out that there is a file "~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list" what has some mime-types and some application association to them [09:40] this is not a complete solution but it's getting better [09:40] @koshari obviously, my brain is NOT working tonight. I caught that as i pressed enter... I think i need sleep :( [09:41] naxa I've only just joined the channel - are you having a problem with the Netbook Release and file associations in Firefox? [09:42] JonathanD, not really, I was asking if anyone knows a way to pre-associate file-types with applications without actual files with a specific extienson. In general, if anyone knows where gnome/nautilus keeps file associations and if there is a better way to set them than right click a file then properties. [09:43] naxa: OK, in that case, I'll quiet down then :) [09:43] :) [09:45] @naxa That is a GOOD question! I've always wondered same myself... [09:45] does anyone know where I can find docs on how to set up username/group mapping for NFS on 2 hosts that have different usernames and groups? [09:45] naxa: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=139459 - Perhaps this might be of use. === tiyowan_ is now known as tiyowan [09:46] @naxa Look for this entry ---> Applications | Desktop Preferences | Advanced | File types and programs [09:46] hrm, question, does anyone know if linux can do per packet load balancing with an IGP, and does linux support NHRP [09:47] maybe ubuntu networking channel is a good idea [09:47] ) [09:47] should be started i think [09:47] K before I go and put in the broken Nvidia driver (180), the one the doesn't do separate screens and twinview screens on wrong screens, is the 185 version packaged yet? [09:47] @naxa If all else fails, there's always the good 'ole manual way... There's a description in this blog: http://linux.seindal.dk/2004/07/01/nautilus-2-6-and-mime-types/ [09:47] so many networking questions phew [09:48] Tiede, tiyowan thank you for help! :) looking the pages [09:48] OR does anyone know when its will be? [09:48] i get the following error for aterm [09:48] Symmetria: NHRP would be that Cisco tech right? [09:48] aterm: can't load font "Terminus" [09:49] tiyowan I dont know if nhrp is cisco only [09:49] I dont think so though [09:49] even though i have the font installed on my ubuntu bix [09:49] box [09:49] @The_Warlock it means the font "Terminus" is not installed on the system, but is asked for by aterm (as monospace font) [09:50] heh I'd happily run an ubuntu networking channel ;p [09:50] Symmetria: :) [09:50] @The_Warlock hmm... are you sure it is installed somewhere aterm can access it? If it is only local and aterm is running as root, I can see that happening [09:51] Tiede: its already installed i use it on terminal [09:51] heh, networking is pretty much my life :) except normally its not with linux stuff, in this case I wanna use an open source platform to try and simplify a setup and remove some expensive hardware that shouldnt be needed [09:51] Tiede, what do you mean by Appliactions | desktop preferences | ...? In Applications _menu_, I don't have "Desktop Preferences", nor in gconf, and actually there is nothing named "Desktop preferences" in my "system -> administration". sorry if this is a lame question. :) [09:51] ;p using 25 thousand dollar routers to load balance dsl routers isnt sensible [09:52] Is it possible to load the Ubuntu installation CD on a USB drive and install it from there? [09:52] Tiede: its installed as i already use it in terminal...but some how aterm doesnt recognozize it [09:52] <_ruben> Fragsworth: yes, lots of howtos cover that [09:52] I found a hack around the broken gui for alsa /dev/audio1 -- works in every other webcam app (anyway)-- if you could fix it great if not it works my way --- the gui can't set audio in alsa and won't allow an oss one unless u write it yourself [09:52] Fagsworth: Yes, it is...check out the below.

Desktop ''sum'thin' " should work ;) [09:53] can someone tell me what the CL command is for "showing an application"? [09:53] like "restoring" it [09:53] Tiede, will try, I've a hungarian system :P [09:53] an application that is already running [09:53] now I've to go due to I'm running out of time. bye [09:54] cypha: You mean like...restoring an application window? Unminimizing it? [09:54] yup [09:54] kill then restart [09:54] @cypha I am not sure I get your question, do you mean a program that is misbehaving? [09:54] i have a minimized program [09:54] and i just want to restore it [09:54] from the command line [09:54] cypha: Well - can't your alt-tab to it? [09:54] skype, for example [09:54] @cypha to unminimize, try Alt+Tab [09:54] cypha: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:54] ...from the command line [09:55] ps -aux |grep app & killall-9 app or kill -9 pid of app & app === am4zin is now known as amazin [09:55] that's safe? [09:55] it won't restart the application? [09:55] skype is already running, i just want to unminimize it [09:56] @cypha well, no. That will restart it. [09:56] insmod: That'll kill the app. :P [09:56] yes it will [09:56] !hardware [09:56] For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [09:56] @cypha. Your best bet is just to alt+tab it [09:56] kills it -- you need just the app? [09:56] yup [09:56] i already ran the app, i just want to restore it === stickboy_ is now known as stickboy [09:57] is this applicable to Jaunty plz https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsWiredNetworkCardsNvidia [09:57] alt tab [09:57] lol [09:58] ok, here's the thing [09:58] i want a shortcut for skype [09:58] Hi [09:58] so i created a keyboard shortcut, the command is "skype" [09:58] but if i run that command after skype has started, it just runs another instance [09:58] @cypha Ah! most programs show the main window when they are "re"invoked... [09:58] i just want to bring forth the old instance [09:58] how can i get status of how much bandwith my server is currently using ? like my overall download speed right now. [09:58] If you are running hardy but need the latest version of git, is there a way to tell apt to update to a package thats available in 9.04 [09:58] use cntl S [09:59] i did [09:59] skype will keep replicating [09:59] hi guis. been getting a series of installation errors recently w the apt/dpkg installers when installing various apps: "subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1" & "E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)". this is on a fresh hardy 64 vm install, but have been getting it on other apps too. using standard ubuntu repo's [09:59] alt tab [09:59] cypha: that's skype for you [10:00] or a better way is write script for it [10:00] skype i nice program. I'm from Poland and i chat with my friend from Israel, cool [10:00] no clue how [10:00] I'd check skype's man page... [10:00] 4 decent skype installation, use ubuntu-tweak [10:00] no man page [10:00] I'd note that Skype is a proprietary software that we don't support here, check their webpage and forums [10:00] info [10:01] oh, nice [10:01] AnnonyMouse, what do you mean ubuntu-tweak to install it? [10:01] ubuntu-tweak does a stable skype install on 32 & 64-bit [10:01] Do you have to compile or is there a way to tell apt to get the later package [10:01] ubuntu-tweak is an app u can use to install some advanced & 3rd party apps, including propietaries [10:02] AnnonyMouse: what is this ubuntu-tweak? [10:02] i have skype isntalled [10:02] @AnnonyMouse does that make skype spawn a second process when called, or does it restore the previous one? That's whay cypha needs [10:02] thanks tiede [10:03] yay i got my wireless working on ubuntu right away :) [10:03] first time install going good so far >_> [10:03] KnowWhat: i dont want anything complciated. i just want a simple command that will return the current bandwith its using (3000kb/s) something like that [10:03] no idea. i get that too when using it w the pidgin integration plugin, but I've removed all write access once my profile is config's [10:03] *d* [10:03] i even tried putting skype on the widget layer [10:03] but anytime i exited a conversation, it exited the widget layer [10:04] AnnonyMouse: what's ubuntu-tweak? [10:04] http://ubuntu-tweak.com/ [10:04] yaris123456789: nettop [10:04] Myrtti: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-tweak-ubuntu.html [10:05] AnnonyMouse: thanks [10:05] anyone here know what's up with the apt/dpkg install errors? [10:05] tiyowan, AnnonyMouse in the future, please do not suggest ubuntu tweak to anyone, ok? [10:05] Myrtti: I did not suggest it to anyone - I pointed out the link to you. [10:05] y not? it does the job & avoits complications. same as envy-ng [10:06] thanks guys [10:06] what's wrong with ubuntu tweak? [10:06] :S [10:06] AnnonyMouse: because that isn't official part of ubuntu [10:06] @cypha I was trying the Dev pages for skype, but it's not clear :( https://developer.skype.com/Docs/ApiDoc/FrontPage [10:06] so because it's not official it's shouldn't be discussed? [10:06] mainstream_: we haven't checked if it's kosher [10:07] tru. but neither is skype, nor is vmware, nvidia/ati propietary drivers. t's a tool that get's the job done [10:07] ok :) well i used it a couple times, and it's great for me [10:07] :) [10:07] & neither is the FAT fs, or NTFS or HFSpluss [10:07] AnnonyMouse: and we don't support skype here either [10:08] naxa: this file may be wortha look, /usr/share/mime/packages/freedesktop.org.xml [10:09] no. but it's important to support the migration off commonly-used platforms. an all-or-nothig position is not going to garner any new users [10:09] AnnonyMouse: those packages are included in the main repos - so have community support, tweak does not, so it's not supported [10:09] Myrtti: bashing ubuntu-tweak because it isnt official sound bad idea [10:10] simplexio: thats not the reason [10:10] i get ur point, though i would caution being acommodating 2 n00bs until they're comfy enough to go full-FLOSS. it's taken me years of hard work 2get 2 that pont [10:10] simplexio: it's a dangerous product that can have negative effects on your syste,, [10:10] jjjj [10:10] @ikonia , Myrtti well, do you know a better metapackage that is already in the repos? [10:10] AnnonyMouse: don't call people "n--bs" [10:10] ikonia: Ah I get it now. Goof point. [10:10] ikonia: er, good. [10:10] Myrtti: if you rally want to have all conversation "official" in this channel then you allow only canonical employee to answer questions [10:10] AnnonyMouse: `"n00bs" sorry [10:10] how do i install a i386 file [10:11] y not? i was a n00b, and in some regard I still am [10:11] mrvdv: what file/product do you want to use ? [10:11] merhaba [10:11] ikonia: can have? or its very unstable ? [10:11] ikonia: even normal upgrade can have negative effect to your system [10:12] so? nobody have any insights into the apt/dpkg installation errors cropping up? [10:12] actually.. using ubuntu after installation can have negative performace to system :) [10:12] hi, i am making a new kernel but my make-kpkg command is failing with the following error, does anyone have any ideas: making target binary-arch [new prereqs: do-binary-arch] [10:13] @simplexio I second that! upgrading to Intrepid then Jaunty made by graphics all fuzzed and blue... Can't watch any videos now :'( [10:13] @simplexio Isn't that a common fact of all operation systems :D ;) [10:13] I've had that issue b4 with another system making use of regular deb repo's, but this is a fresh VM jaunty, and relates to a std package in repo: apt-cacher-ng [10:13] Tiede: yes it is, ubuntu just dosent degreade that much :) [10:13] simplexio: I think you misunderstood slightly. Take for example, a custom kernel. I doubt that a custom kernel is supported. [10:14] is there a way to get all computer names/ip addresses on my network? sudo nmap -O 192.168.1.0/24 gets ip's but not comp names [10:15] tiyowan: probably.. there are stuff that is supportyed , stuff that isnt supported and stuff that is so unstable that just installing and running it once will probably broke system [10:15] AdvoWork there is a way to do that, i did it a while ago, its slow, but i forgot the command === NeoBlaster is now known as WtF_- [10:15] AdvoWork: Try adding -R [10:15] so if ubuntu-tweak is one of those dangerous programs, then i agree that ppl should warn about it. in other case myrtti shouldnt comment about talking about it === WtF_- is now known as NeoBlaster [10:16] just configure a new kernel [10:16] JonTheNiceGuy, like -O -R ? [10:16] AdvoWork: names as ? dns ?hostnames ? or what [10:17] AdvoWork: Sounds about right === eric is now known as badbandit [10:17] simplexio: which is why I'm reading the source of it now [10:17] netstat [10:17] simplexio : i believe that 1 should be wary of ANY propietry piece of s/w, but that should not deter you from hacking/exploiting it [10:17] AdvoWork try "nmap -v -sP 192.168.0.240-253" [10:18] AdvoWork: it's namp -v -sP -R 192.168.1.0/24" [10:18] Myrtti: I think it just automates the process of editing config files. [10:18] OR can i get the computer name from an IP? if i have that IP directly? [10:18] AdvoWork: if you have reverse dns setup, sure [10:18] AdvoWork: u could use arp for that [10:18] tiyowan: which has high change to broke system if its implemented wrong [10:19] AdvoWork>yes [10:19] How can i run Google Gadgets from the command line? [10:19] like start it [10:19] google-gadgets doesn't work [10:19] anyboy hear of a firewall called ipconfu [10:20] @cypha i believe its gg something... [10:20] nope [10:20] oops i mean anybody! [10:20] @cypha try typing gg and use tab completion (had it a long while ago, but i don't use it anymore)... [10:21] nope [10:21] ggz-wrapper [10:21] @cypha It's ggl-gtk [10:22] simplexio: Agreed. I'm looking at the source code as well - it's written in python. [10:22] says it's not installed [10:22] that's weird [10:22] i just installed google gadgets [10:22] and it's in the system tray [10:22] Tiede: wink wink.. this one hilights on moust irc clients [10:22] anyone here drive an old (90's ) bmw 318i? [10:22] it's in my Applications menu [10:23] can't i find out what the applications menu is doing to run it? [10:23] did i park it wrong? [10:23] like you can in windows? [10:23] !ot | dquestions [10:23] dquestions: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [10:23] im starting to think this channel is worth of it.. [10:24] we have somewhat low traffic moment going on and ppl complain about !ot [10:24] hello? How can I find out what the location the Applications menu is using to run google gadgets? [10:24] or !windows [10:24] @cypha go to System->Preferences->Main Menu, select Applications, find it, locate it, and select properties on the right hand side. [10:24] cypha: Have you tried typing ggl-gtk from a terminal? [10:24] ok, the problem i have is. im connected to a voip phone, this has an ip(ive got the ip of this) from there, my pc connects to that. can i find the ip from that somehow? [10:25] compiz is gnome, right? [10:25] it's ggl-qt [10:25] hey [10:25] but i thought qt was KDE [10:25] i have compiz, which is gnome, right? [10:25] are there any program to work .dmg on ubuntu [10:25] AdvoWork: which ip ? voip phone. you could try pinf broadcast address, or simply using tcpdump/wireshark to listen traffic [10:26] simplexio, are they easy to use? [10:26] cypha: I suspect you have gnome. Please try: ggl-gtk [10:26] tiyowan, how do i uninstall ggl-qt then? [10:26] AdvoWork: or calling from voip to pc and using netstat to figure where call came from [10:26] AdvoWork: yes [10:26] and also, why do i have Qt4 Settings in my Settings>Application menu? [10:27] @cypha sudo apt-get purge ggl-qt [10:27] any response [10:27] @cypha you probably have some other app that depends on qt that installed it for windowing purposes.. [10:27] hellues: The archive manager can possibly you open them but just to see the file and directory contents [10:27] hellues: what is dmg ? [10:27] cypha qt is a development platform, kde is developed using qt like many other apps. [10:27] i wonder what, cuz i'm using gnome [10:27] simplexio, i like the sound of calling from voip to pc, how do you mean exactly? [10:27] oh [10:27] max osx extension [10:27] mac* [10:27] cypha: If you install an application that uses the qt widgets (which is the one used by the KDE environment), then the qt libraries will be installed as, regardless of whether you're using gnome or kde. And that is why you see the QT4 settings in gnome [10:28] did purge properly remove everything that ggl-qt came with? [10:28] AdvoWork: ekiga which is registered to same voip network as voip phone [10:28] yes, purge will remove the program AND it's configurations files [10:28] cypha: If it didn't report any errors, then you should be ok. :) [10:28] cypha its likely you have an ap developed using qt, ie, vlc, amarok, k3b, avidemux(qt) ect [10:28] btw, when i ran ggl-qt from the terminal, it said "Not a regular file: /" [10:29] hi everybody! [10:29] AdvoWork: do you know what protocol its uses ? [10:29] cypha: Are you trying to install google gadgets? [10:29] i had it installed [10:29] ggl-qt [10:29] @cypha I'd say try sudo apt-get purge ggl-qt google-gadgets && sudo apt-get install google-gadgets again... [10:29] but when i ran that from the terminal (after i installed it), it said it wasn't a regular file [10:30] simplexio, the pcs are connected to snom phones for SIP. running from a trixbox/asterisk server [10:30] cypha: You had the wrong version installed. Try sudo apt-get install google-gadgets-gtk now. [10:30] possible to run mac osx program on ubuntu [10:30] cypha: After running this command, "Google Gadgets" should show up in Applications -> Internet [10:30] AdvoWork: then its easy.. just conf ekiga on pc to use same asterix, and call from voip to pc [10:31] @hellues you will need an emulator for that [10:31] hmm [10:31] AdvoWork: or even more easier, go to * server and check registered phones address [10:31] google gadgets QT is still in the applications menu [10:31] are there any emulator [10:31] is it like wine [10:31] cypha: Ignore that for the moment. [10:31] how can i find that [10:31] so it didn't fully remove? [10:31] simplexio, ahh didnt think of that. but.. i can get the phone ip fine, its just the ip of the pc [10:31] @hellues yes. the idea is the same. just Mac instead of windows. [10:31] cypha check the path of the menu app [10:31] cypha: It's probably a left-over menu reference. :) [10:32] k [10:32] where can i get plesk from ? [10:32] AdvoWork: ifconfig on that pc ? or was the problem that you could get access to pc [10:32] I would appreciate is someone could help me with booting the Ubuntu Netbook remix on an Acer Aspire One netbook. I have created the boot pendrive, everything works fine on my eMachines laptop, but when I try to boot the netbook it freezes at the starting options of Ubuntu, no response to keyboard and the strangest is that I dont even get the language selector screen before that [10:32] Tiede, do you know ones [10:32] cypha: I think you can get rid of it if you right-click on your menu and edit it - I don't remember the exact steps, but you have to untick the checkmark next to it to make it go away. [10:32] do you know macosx emulator [10:32] i can still run ggl-qt [10:33] i just ran /usr/bin/ggl-qt from the terminal and it still worked [10:33] @hellues try www.linux.org/apps/all/System/Emulators.html [10:34] simplexio, ive got access to most pcs, just not this one lol, its typical, eventually i want to be able to manage all ubuntu pcs remotely from this pc. Is that possible(once i have the ip?) [10:34] tiyowan? [10:34] how can i open wps files? [10:34] harpreet_ what are they? [10:35] Im getting a new laptop in like 3 weeks. It has 4gb ram. Is that enough for it to work? [10:35] cypha: Okay. Can you type dpkg -l | ggl, copy the results, go to pastebin.ubuntu.com, paste the results there, and post the link here? [10:35] Caleb-a-html-cod: yeah, you will be able to do everything [10:35] @hellues the link i sent you might be broken... here's a better one. with LOTS more: http://www.thefreecountry.com/emulators/macintosh.shtml [10:35] Caleb-a-html-cod of course, PCs once ran on 600k [10:35] nnn [10:35] Caleb-a-html-cod: what do you need ? vmware ? movies, etc... ? [10:35] SunnyD: thanks [10:35] koshari, harpreet_: is it a Microsoft Works word processor file? [10:35] I try to start xchat but it crashes my whole Seassion, the computer like freeze [10:36] What could be the reason? [10:36] i found the file [10:36] All i needed to know, ty [10:36] norpan111: did you check "dmseg" ? [10:36] magnetron: yes, koshari [10:36] magnetron: you could try OO or even gedit, however with the second you may lose formating [10:36] in /usr/bin [10:36] norpan111: sorry, go to terminal and run "dmesg" [10:36] ggl-qt is still there [10:36] magnetron sorry harpreet_ [10:36] AdvoWork: :) so no access at all to that one pc.. and remove control is possible even between different OS [10:36] if i delete that file, will it be permanently gone with no other remnants? [10:36] Caleb-a-html-cod: anything i am buying from now on is 64bit, i dont give a fuck [10:37] SunnyD: and now what? [10:37] cypha: Please don't delete files directly from /usr/bin - it doesn't work that way. [10:37] harpreet_→ the standard Open-office that is shipped with new versions of Ubuntu supports it [10:37] !language | SunnyD [10:37] SunnyD: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [10:37] magnetron: so i should upgrade oo? [10:37] during boot when Ubuntu says "Boot from (hd0,4) ext3 ..." is it mounting the drive? It seems to take an extraordinarily long time. [10:37] norpan111: i dont know, pastebin.com the outcome it and copy it here we will check [10:37] Is my poor little box in distress? [10:37] tiyowan: sorry [10:37] SunnyD: ok [10:37] @cypha deleting things left and write in /usr/bin is like playing around with C:/Program Files in windows... Potentially volatile... [10:37] harpreet_→ no, just use the one that ships with ubuntu. [10:38] cypha: Type dpkg -l | ggl, copy the results, go to pastebin.ubuntu.com, paste the results there, and post the link here. [10:38] cypha: sorry, it's paste.ubuntu.com [10:38] SunnyD: Here it is ; http://pastebin.com/m5695f6d [10:38] harpreet_→ ubuntu ships with Go-oo that supports Works files. if you install any other version, you'll probably get the regular OO.org that doesn't support works files [10:38] eeeek don't do that [10:39] norpan111: yeah well don't only count on me brother, ask around as well :S [10:39] :D [10:39] Yeah [10:39] never del a file in user bin = broken system [10:39] magnetron: it opens the file but doesnt display contents [10:39] Everytime i start xchat everything crashes, the picture get all wrong and looks like a puzzel. [10:40] simplexio, whats the best way to go about remotely working on other pcs? terminal services, or ssh or? and how? [10:40] @everyone I think cypha gets the message now ;) [10:40] harpreet_→ are you using the standard version that is shipped with Ubuntu? or did you "upgrade" to any other version? [10:40] norpan111: have you tried using Pidgin ? [10:40] SunnyD: yes pidgin works, but why not xchat? it has worked before [10:40] can someone help me with the netbook problem? its driving me crazy [10:40] AdvoWork: Well - depends on what you're trying to do. For simple file-transfer, ssh is best. [10:40] SunnyD: its all since i installed proper drivers for my graphic card [10:40] AdvoWork: on ubuntu enviroment i would use ssh + vnc [10:41] magnetron: standard [10:41] SunnyD: also my gnome-do dockdy is very laggy.. and my graphiccard should fix this just fine [10:41] simplexio, and what do i need to setup on client pcs? [10:41] ssh fish etc [10:41] tiede, so what should i do? [10:41] cypha: Type dpkg -l | ggl, copy the results, go to pastebin.ubuntu.com, paste the results there, and post the link here. [10:41] norpan111: have you did sudo apt-get update & sudo apt-get dist-update [10:41] @flashman5 we don't know what your problem is... tried tossing it out the window? [10:41] AdvoWork: on mixed env still ssh+vnc.. its pretty simple, and you can share desktop with vnc in ubunut and windows [10:41] remove the package [10:41] SunnyD: no, should i ? [10:42] Hello [10:42] AdvoWork: in ubuntu just mark x to allow sharing desktop and in windows you need to install tightvnc server/realvnc server [10:42] are u talkin to me [10:42] norpan111: yes, i would at least try , maybe some update are there: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-update [10:42] is there any way to connect to a machine and administer like team viewer or log me in? [10:42] AdvoWork: there are other option to that server stuff too.. but i dont have experience using that windows own system [10:43] norpan111: yes, i would at least try , maybe some update are there: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [10:43] norpan: sorry [10:43] SunnyD: yeah its done [10:43] AdvoWork: If you want to ssh in from a windows box, you could always use cygwin as a quick shell. [10:43] SunnyD: dist-update could not be done [10:43] omg its in swedish i dont how to translate [10:44] AdvoWork: im not 100% if windows own desktop sharing can be used with open source client.. [10:44] norpan111: dist-upgrade [10:44] oh [10:44] simplexio you can use tightvnc [10:44] @Tiede: I'm pretty sure it will be the next step:) As I wrote about 5 minutes before I try to boot ubuntu netbook remix from pendrive on an aspire one to install the OS but it freezes at the starting screen where you select to install ubuntu, no response to keyboard [10:44] SunnyD: ther is 0 to upgrade and install [10:44] so im all up-to-date SunnyD [10:44] norpan111: also, there (at least used to) be a bug with the swedish translation, where it says to press "J/N" but it only accepts Y.... [10:45] norpan111: that suxxx brother [10:45] hateball: ok but i always press y anyway:P [10:45] norpan111: usually dmesg tells some information on what went wrong [10:45] flashman5 are you sure your pendrive is bootable, ie have you tried a different iso with unetbootin? [10:45] SunnyD: did you read my dmesg? [10:45] @flashman5 have you checked the md5sums to make sure it's ok? [10:45] simplexio, its just ubuntu - ubuntu which is nice, what do you mean by: in ubuntu just mark x to allow sharing desktop? [10:46] flashman5: have you tried the usb live creator? [10:46] the strange thing is that I have tried it in my laptop and it booted fine, the live ubuntu started correctly, so the pendrive should be ok [10:46] norpan111: i tried, i am no pro @ gnu/linux [10:46] AdvoWork: its in desktop setting if i recall right [10:47] but when I try in the aspire one it doesnt even gives me the language selector screen, just gives the freezed starting options [10:47] Is there somebody that is "pro" that could read my dmesg ? [10:47] AdvoWork: setting -> user setting -> desktop setting or something [10:49] Is there anyone that can read my dmesg to figure out why my whole session crashes when i start Xchat? [10:49] @norpan111 your dmesg does not provide any crash info [10:49] ok [10:49] anyone wanna tell me if something works? [10:49] Well i had to restart computer when i start xchat [10:49] flashman5 what bios boot option did you choose? [10:49] as soon as start xchat the whole screen turns like a puzzel [10:50] Tiede: what will provide crash info then ? /etc/log/* ? [10:50] insmod: sure go [10:51] http://24.150.99.142/player.html or any payer eg gmpalyer http://24.150.99.142:8080 [10:51] Why does my screen turns into a puzzle when i start XCHAT? [10:51] @koshari: I see the pendrive in the bios as USB FDD [10:52] @SunnyD maybe... or /var/log/... best bet is thru the apport, or running the program from the command line. [10:52] flashman5 its not a usb fdd, [10:52] Tiede: but as soon as i run the program the screen turns inthingo a puzzle and crashes everyt [10:52] insmod: wow works great [10:52] ?? [10:52] hi. anyone know of a GUI frontend for ffmpeg that works to convert mpg to different formats, including flv? [10:52] great thatnks in html or gmplayer etc [10:53] flashman5 can you change it to usb hdd or something more relevent, itas not going to boot under floppy emulation [10:53] insmod: i thought it was a radio station :D so ia dded it to my radio player [10:53] Tiede: so im unable to read from terminal [10:53] insmod: then i tried the firefox [10:54] did firefox work? [10:54] koshari: how can I change it? it just recognises it as USB FDD [10:54] insmod: yes , still working, i see guitars [10:54] lol [10:54] @norpan111 try piping the output to a file on the desktop and break out of X... ( command >> ~/Desktop/filename) [10:54] flashman5 i dont know i have only ever booted an acer one on a usb cdrom on a guy at works acer one [10:54] how can i make a sub domain like whateva.mrvdv.com go to a certain folder on my server ? [10:54] can you hear audio [10:55] Tiede: i dont know how to do that [10:55] insmod: there is audio ? but i see error message at bottom : [10:55] like [10:55] @norpan111 command >> ~/Desktop/filename [10:55] "xchat ~/desktop/filename" Tiede ? [10:56] simplexio, basically ive got the ip of the pc now. can i not just ssh to that machine from mine, or do i still have to mess with the client? [10:56] @norpan111 xchat >> ~/Desktop/filename [10:56] insmod: i can hear you now [10:56] so i nead the >> [10:56] anyone up [10:56] ya i rewrote the vlc code -- can you hear [10:56] simplexio, actually I just get connection refused [10:57] yes, norpan111 , you need it. other wise, it won't work. [10:57] ok [10:57] better [10:57] does anyone know how to change a netbooks settings so that it will see the pendrive as USB HDD instead of USB FDD? Can that cause the boot problem anyway? [10:57] "the file or catalog does not exist" [10:57] omg [10:58] How do I install XAMMP? [10:58] @norpan111 hmm... ok... that's me befuddled... [10:59] Tiede: i even created i file on desktop [10:59] argh [10:59] tiyowan: dpgk command not found [10:59] i am confused... is "the file or catalogue does not exist" the content of that file? [11:00] hi.. sometimes in arecord -l i don't have listed my usb webcam microphone, any idea why? it can be "repaired" by rebooting, but this is an anoying solution [11:00] @cypha it's dpkg [11:01] cypha: It's dp*kg* -l | grep ggl [11:01] Tiede: it crashed now when i tried to resize firefox to [11:01] what in the name of god is happening?

I'm trying to connect to a device with telnet but the \n must be different, because I can connect with HyperTerminal (windows), but I always receive an error when I send a command from linux telnet. I tried minicom, but the device has a IP (not serial) and I can't connect to it. [11:02] Tiede: no it does not find the file [11:02] noelia carboneroç [11:02] anyone know where i can find info on adding a tap device to my interfaces file? [11:02] Tiede: i tried to resize the xchat window it crashed, and has not been working since. And now i tried to resize firefox and my session crashed to [11:03] ok, nothing happened when i wrote it this time [11:03] no output [11:03] @norpan111 there must be something missing from your install.

[11:56] there isn't much variance b/w ubuntu version and debian sid version of interfaces, so it leads me to believe that it's Ubuntu's automation that's interfering [11:56] I cannot get visudo to work, i added 'user ALL=NOPASSWD:/usr/local/bin/fixmtrr.sh' and it still asks for a password when i try and sudo it [11:56] erUSUL: as i said, wlan0 doesn't work. ra0 I can generate with appropriate udev rule. no problem there [11:57] bah, i'll just remove gnome-network-manager [11:58] hi.. im new to ubuntu os.. anyone can point me to where i can help from? [11:58] new, you can get help here :) [11:58] <_ruben> http://help.ubuntu.com [11:58] new: Here, and ubuntuforums.org [11:58] uSynx: what group is user in? [11:59] The SEGA emulator dgen has been broken since 1.23-10. Anyone know of a workaround? The filed bug launchpad is pretty much a dead end. [11:59] thanks.. [11:59] Can u disable the black boarders/trace around when minimizing windows? i dont use compiz [11:59] Launching a game ends with a SIGSEGV, but without debugging info I can't debug it either. [11:59] hoohaah: user is in group user [12:00] uSynx: maybe add to sudo group? [12:00] uSynx: usermod -a -G sudo $USER [12:01] and re-login for effect [12:01] hoohaah: will try thanks [12:01] Madsy: there's no dgen-dbg package? [12:01] Can u disable the black boarders/trace around when minimizing windows? i dont use compiz. [12:02] Madsy: ah appears not [12:04] hoohaah: score i didn't add the -a and have not removed my only account from sudo privs [12:04] :( [12:04] uSynx: oops! [12:04] anyone using vmware fusion or ubuntu 9.03 on the new macbook pro? [12:05] uSynx: is this the admin user? [12:05] 9.04 [12:05] evolution doesnt show a notification on a new message [12:05] altough its turned on in preferences [12:05] hoohaah: yup the default ubuntu desktop user [12:05] howto fix that [12:05] hoohaah: with no su access :( [12:05] haha [12:06] what are you gonna do? [12:06] hoohaah: any ideas on a way around? a re-install is not out of the question though as i just did a fresh install [12:07] Can u disable the black boarders/trace around when minimizing windows? i dont use compiz [12:07] strangely enough ive not been able to get sudoers to work on centos either [12:07] i solved the keyring issue if anyone is interested :), the reason was that i had change the display manager to KDE's, changing back to GDM stopped ubuntu prompting for the keyring password [12:08] i've grown attached to gnome though, KDE is a bit to 'busy' for me [12:08] uSynx, If you haven't enabled the root account (best practice is to leave it disabled), then you will probably need to boot in single user mode and fix your user account from the single user root console. [12:09] uSynx: so what groups is user in now? [12:09] only sudo? [12:09] On my Ubuntu Jaunty, the command "git svn clone" command is freezing the system after some progress. Hard reboot is the only option, this behaviour was reproduced on my friends laptop. [12:09] whats better to use. ubuntu 9 or redhat 9 [12:09] mrvdv: better answer lies in redhat irc channel [12:09] hoohaah: see i didn't seen anything listed in /etc/passwd but i duno, its the default admin user for ubuntu desktop [12:09] !ot > mrvdv [12:09] mrvdv, please see my private message [12:10] hello, does anyone know how do mount a pgpdisk file ( .pgd) under ubuntu? [12:10] i hope redhat if you wanna be linux geek. [12:10] uSynx: groups [12:10] so you logged out and in, then? [12:10] looks like both sudo and user [12:10] strange [12:10] when i try and sudo it says i dont have auto [12:10] i opened a screen session in a machine. how do i attach it to it from another machine [12:10] err auth and will be logged [12:10] justin007 git svn seems to work for me on jaunty [12:11] well you must've accidently replaced all supplimentary groups with sudo, right? [12:11] There's no log anywhere suggestion what causes this freeze, tried clonning with both wired and wireless. on different partitions, on to usb external drive. and on different computer. "git svn clone" on jaunty freezes the computer [12:11] mib_y0s4gc Ctrl-a d to detach, screen -r to resaume [12:11] *supplementary [12:11] hoohaah: yup [12:11] Guthur: have you tried clonning. [12:11] hoohaah: as i didn [12:11] err [12:11] justin007 ya it was my first operation :) [12:11] hoohaah: as i didn't use the -a switch [12:11] uSynx: can you still do any sudo actions? [12:12] hoohaah: doesn't look like it [12:12] do have have a term somwhere where you're still logged in? [12:12] hoohaah: nope [12:12] i get the followoing messages when i do it [12:12] justin007 i not sure what the issue could be, it did just seem to work for me [12:12] screen -r There are screens on: 3210.tty6.newton (Attached) 3315.pts-1.newton (Attached) There is no screen to be resumed. [12:12] Guthur: i confirmed that git svn operations except "clone" is working, could reprodude on my friends system as well. what was the size of the repo you clone. [12:12] * natschil hates pgpdisk [12:12] hoohaah: i could do single user but i dont know what other groups i was susposed to belong to [12:12] hoohaah: a reinstall is not that bad though so i may just do that [12:12] when i do ps ; i see screen process running [12:12] hi all [12:12] justin007 it was only about 6-7mb [12:12] mib_y0s4gc fist you need to detach the screen with ctrl-a d [12:12] uSynx: adm and admin, at least [12:12] uSynx: yeah, i was about to suggest emergency mode [12:12] vi /etc/group [12:12] mib_y0s4gc or you can connect with screen -x [12:12] uSynx, In order to use sudo, you need to be in the admin group. If you removed yourself from that group, you will need single user mode to fix it. [12:13] Guthur: that could be it.. my repo was around 32 MB. [12:13] justin007 are you see any progress with the repo download [12:13] rob_p: rgr thanks [12:13] uSynx: hangon I just did a fresh install too, I'll see which groups i'm in [12:13] thanks [12:13] rob_p: what do i need to do to init into single user? [12:13] uSynx: adm dialout cdrom plugdev lpadmin admin sambashare [12:13] is it possible to save /home when you have to install other os like win? [12:13] uSynx, All you have to do is mak your user a member of admin and your user's group. [12:13] sweet [12:13] yes.. there is.. it progresses to varying degress, but ultimately it freezes. [12:13] uSynx: at grub menu selection [12:13] rgr [12:13] there should be an entry there [12:13] justin007 i was using a remote repo, sourceforge svn, you could maybe try a small one for there, just to test [12:14] uSynx, Those are the default groups the user belongs to. [12:14] Guthur: I reproduced consistently. [12:14] rob_p: thanks [12:14] uSynx, No need to re-install. [12:14] :-) [12:14] question, I did a fresh install recently. The installer detected my windows partition, and _seemingly_ migrated user profiles to linux (I noticed cool scroll activity of copy progression from user paths in Windows) [12:14] justin007 are you maybe trying to download to a protected file location? [12:15] where exactly are these profiles stored? [12:15] maybe a stupid question, but anyway: if i pay for commercial support from cannonical, is the price of 750$ per server per year, or only per year for unlimited servers? [12:15] well, where are they saved too [12:15] *to [12:15] why i get only half the screen [12:15] Guthur: NO, I tried with different partitions, then onto USB disk(to rule out ext4) then with wired and wireless.. its consistent. [12:15] hi all [12:15] this is the exact command i used ~$ git svn clone https://azure-is.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/azure-is azure-is [12:15] I try to load script at boot [12:16] Guthur: then I tried on my friends system and there too it frooze.. after some time before completing. [12:16] i need full screen at the other pc. i do screen -x pid [12:16] I place the script in /etc/rc5.d/S99Local [12:16] it dosn't seems to load? [12:16] justin007 see my comment above i forgot to add you name [12:16] im trying to install ubuntu on a fresh hdd but it keeps crashing. what can i do? [12:16] justin007 I am using Ext-4 as well [12:16] Guthur: ok, let me try that now. [12:17] justin007 i hope it does freeze your system :p [12:17] Guthur: will try same command now. [12:17] doesn't [12:17] mib_y0s4gc that's because it it still atached on another terminal.. that's why the format doesn't adapt, so detach the aother session first with ctrl-a d [12:17] hello? [12:18] brabo: i dont understand when you say that [12:18] hoohaah: ok think i got it fixed haha [12:18] Guthur: it is progressing. [12:18] wait.. might work this time [12:18] the problem is i connect to a server. my telnet session keeps breaking because of network related issue. so i run a screen program in server and try to attach it to [12:19] justin007 cool, is that further than it got before then? maybe its you repo that is suspect [12:19] whatvn, ive installed that but cant see anything todo with keylogger? [12:19] anyone know whats going on with this acpid bug? i told ubuntu not to update the acpid, but everytime i install or do an update it attempts to upgrade acpid and bugs out [12:19] ii run screen in server. and screen -x in my client [12:19] hoohaah: ok i can sudo now, but its still asking for a password for the script i put in sudoers [12:19] does the release of jaunty mean that older versions like jaunty are now frozen and won't see non-security updates like firefox 3.5 ? [12:19] older versions like intrepid* [12:19] Guthur: my repo could be the suspect, but will it kill my system? [12:19] Guthur: and that of my friend? [12:20] Can u disable the black boarders/trace around when minimizing windows? i dont use compiz [12:20] Guthur: :-) [12:20] AdvoWork: why keylogger is needed? [12:20] justin007 thats not my project by the way, but i'm sure they wont mind, i'm not sure i only used it for the first time yesterday [12:20] how to kill hung up X on virtual console accesible from Ctrl+Alt+F9 ? [12:20] norpan111_, maybe itd be better to say what you DO use? gnome.kde etc ? [12:20] justin007 it is worrying that it can kill your system though :| [12:20] pkkm: sudo killall gdm [12:20] carpii: i use gnome [12:21] pkkm, find the pid from 'ps aux' then kill -9 [12:21] anyone suggest a distro for me. ( but not mini distros ) 256 mb RAM and 735 Mhz processor . please.....ubuntu 8.10 didn't run that good.. can i get it with xfce ? it can run well ??? [12:21] Guthur: I thought so as well, and my friends as well. [12:21] Can u disable the black boarders/trace around when minimizing windows? i use gnome without compiz [12:21] AdvoWork: user information is not something sysadmin need to know [12:21] or why when im using gnome it wants to install this kde bug fix for acpid [12:21] rameshwor: crunchbang! [12:21] any idea? [12:21] justin007 you could try #git for answers [12:21] rameshwor look up xubuntu its the xfce version [12:21] what's that crunchbag ? distro ? ? [12:22] mib_y0s4gc on the server you issue in screen the key combination ctrl-a d that detaches your session [12:22] the you do the same on client side and the on client side screen -r [12:22] Guthus: ok clonning is done.. so this repo is fine, to rule out the size of the repo my friend is clonning the Kde repo :-) [12:22] can i get canonical to ship me xubuntu ? ? my internt is not good downloading takes days [12:22] justin007 its either a svn or git issue [12:22] rameshwor: its crunshbaNg not bag [12:22] what's the difference between adm group and admin group anyway? [12:22] Guthur: ok clonning is done.. so this repo is fine, to rule out the size of the repo my friend is clonning the Kde repo :-) [12:22] rameshwor: its a lightweight distro based on ubuntu. it would be perfect on your system [12:22] norpan, see the replies to http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/5075/ [12:22] rameshwor: http://crunchbanglinux.org/ [12:23] hoohaah: still a nogo on the sudoers stuff but sudo is working again === DaZ| is now known as DaZ [12:23] justin007 #git are pretty helpful, they sorted a wee problem i had yesterday [12:23] rameshwor: or you could go with gentoo and install your own light weight wm like fluxbox [12:23] whatvn, so splunk wont log keystrokes? [12:23] maybe a stupid question, but anyway: if i pay for commercial support from cannonical, is the price of 750$ per server per year, or only per year for unlimited servers? [12:23] uSynx: did ya add yourself to sudo group again? [12:23] hoohaah: yup [12:23] coldhead: I don't want to kill all x'es. | carpii: what's the process name? [12:23] Guthur: am a little naive for #git I guess. [12:24] AdvoWork: it will, if you setup a keylogger to send information to it [12:24] pkkm, i dont know. it should be obvious though. try passing -H to ps aux and itll show a hierarchy tree [12:24] hoohaah: its still asking for a password though... proper sudoers is 'user ALL=NOPASSWD:/cmd' no? [12:24] AdvoWork: I think keylogger is a client-side tool [12:24] justin007 nah don't worry, it could have easily been a ubuntu issue too ;) [12:24] whatvn, such as? cant find anything though [12:25] sorry guys, my internet is not so good so i frequently get disconnected.. [12:25] uSynx: silly question, but what's the last line of sudoers [12:25] thanks for the one who suggested crunchbang.... based on ubuntu ... [12:25] uSynx: if it's (ALL) ALL, that overrides everything set in the file [12:26] or , can i get any older distros of ubuntu ? how about that ?? [12:26] AdvoWork: I never use keylogger. so I dont have any idea. but if you decide to use keylogger, you must manually install it on every client computer [12:26] uSynx: yeah, that's the right syntax [12:26] hoohaah: give me a sec ill check [12:26] uSynx: although I'm used to having %group instead of USER [12:26] Guthur: I think the difference could be an error message am getting before the clonning starts (apart from the size difference) [12:26] rameshwo, ubuntu with lxde is very light [12:26] justin007 what is the error? [12:26] AdvoWork: and using keylogger means steal user information, which is never recommended by myself [12:26] bazhang thanks..... i'll see it in google.. [12:27] Can u disable the black boarders/trace around when minimizing windows? i use gnome but not compiz [12:27] Guthur: W: Ignoring error from SVN, path probably does not exist: (160013): Filesystem has no item: '/svn/sw/!svn/bc/100/trunk/nms' path not found [12:27] bazhang: are there any tradeoffs? did you disable a majority of the gnome-dameons? [12:27] rameshwo, sudo apt-get install lxde (once you have ubuntu installed) [12:27] carpii: This: 'pawel 4217 0.0 0.2 191456 9808 ? Ssl 13:16 0:00 x-session-manager' ? [12:27] Its the default if you disable compiz, see for yourself, its really ugly [12:27] *daemons [12:27] Guthur: W: Do not be alarmed at the above message git-svn is just searching aggressively for old history. [12:27] Guthur: those two lines but then it starts clonning is what I can see. [12:27] is there a way to make the desktop more responsive while copying files? jaunty seams to be really bad at copying some files and doing anything else, like loading a webpage at the same time [12:27] bazhang: MY INTERNET IS DIAL_UP . IT TAKES ME HOURS N HOURS.. [12:28] whatvn, its needed for the company, with full director permission, ui just cant find anything [12:28] * hoohaah covers his ears [12:28] is there a support channel for WINE? [12:28] rameshwo, get a disk from shipit then and install lxde after [12:28] zetheroo: google [12:28] hoohaah: yup last line is %admin ALL=(ALL) ALL so i need to put my ish after that no? [12:28] zetheroo: #winehq [12:28] rameshwo: try getting crunchbang via bittorrent. its just a single cd iso [12:28] ramesho get DSL (dhamn small linux) it's only 50 mb afaik [12:28] hoohaah, not sure about gnome-dameons [12:28] err daemons [12:28] hoohaah: thank you [12:28] uSynx: yeah [12:28] Can anyone help me with this one? [12:28] AdvoWork: sorry, in this case...I cannot help [12:28] can i get shipit to ship me ubuntu without gnome, . with lxde or xfce ??? [12:29] shipit takes 5 years [12:29] justin007 there is possibly some corruption, the #git guys should definitely have more info on something like that, i've only started using it recently so not much experience of possible problems, there is 500+ in that channel so someone is likely to have the knowledge, they are reasonably friendly too :) [12:29] I try to disable this ugly black borders that traces a window when minimized if compiz is disabled [12:29] uSynx: actually I'm not too sure with that one :) I've never tried it [12:29] uSynx: it might work [12:29] rameshwo, let me check that [12:29] hoohaah: ill let you know trying it now [12:29] no.. i got it in 3 weeks. i'm from nepal.. [12:29] hoohaah: ill bet thats why i cant get it to work in centos either [12:29] ramesho or download debien netinst cd , it's only 150 MB or so.. [12:29] zetheroo: yw [12:29] yay [12:29] uSynx: heh [12:29] rameshwo, just Ubuntu and Kubuntu afaik; installing lxde is very fast though [12:30] maybe a stupid question, but anyway: if i pay for commercial support from cannonical, is the price of 750$ per server per year, or only per year for unlimited servers? [12:30] ok i'll try it....thanks bazhang [12:30] rameshwo, there is also the minimal installer (9mbs) iso [12:30] Guthur: allright.. let me try there. because apart from these two warning (I guess) there's no other difference. and just now my friend reproduced once again. and Kde svn repo clonning is progressing without issues. so it has to be this [12:30] !minimal | rameshwo [12:30] rameshwo: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [12:31] justin007 sounds like svn corruption alright [12:31] hoohaah: well done!! thanks much that fixed it [12:31] uSynx: glad to hear it ;) [12:31] <[Crussd2]> hi all ;) [12:31] * [Crussd2] nice to know you :) [12:31] is there a linux program to spray desktop.ini files all through my filesystem like in windows? [12:31] uSynx: at least now you've familiarized yourself with options for that other command :) [12:31] My computer seems to run more faster and responsive with "extra" desktop effects [12:31] Guthur: yes.. but svn is working fine against this repo, no issues I have been working with svn and the repo for almost 3 years now. wanted to learn git and thats when I get this [12:31] I dont want the wobble windows etc [12:32] coldhead: skeleton files [12:32] But i still want my computer to run pretty fast :P [12:32] hoohaah: now i just need to fix this f'ing horrible video shutter on my aspire one and ill be good to go [12:32] What can be causing this? [12:32] <[Crussd2]> !ping [12:32] ping yourself ;-) really the diodes all down my left side are sore [12:32] hoohaah: ya i wont be not using the -a switch again [12:32] ;) [12:32] norpan111_: you mind? :) [12:32] wont not [12:32] your* [12:32] jrib yeah i really dont like the wobble windows :P [12:32] norpan111_: you can keep effects and disable the wobbly windows if you wish [12:32] !ccsm | norpan111_ [12:33] norpan111_: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'.

[14:10] piXelshooter, i installed my ubuntu from an external dvd drive as my internal one wouldn't boot either [14:10] it shows some keys as "disabled", so there must be a away to disable them?

[14:11] moldy: you can modify the other keybindings via menu [14:12] moldy: try blanking them out? [14:12] does anyone know why mozilla firefox is collapsing in my new ubuntu 9.04 install? [14:12] hoohaah: yes, i see that. but how do i *disable* a key? [14:12] bazhang, could my desktop boot from it if the cd was broken? I have no knowledge about those things :( [14:12] hoohaah: i tried hitting escape, space and the like, but then it thinks i want to bind it to that key [14:12] this ui is a joke :p [14:12] moldy: backspace while not in input field? [14:12] let me try... [14:12] sean2009: doesn't it boot from all disks, or only not from this special ubuntu cd?

[14:13] piXelshooter, did you md5 the iso, burn at very low speed, then do the disk integrity check after setting in bios to look for CD to boot from first?

[14:13] TFHosting, dont paste here [14:13] hoohaah: backspace while *in* the field works. hooray, thank you. [14:13] piXelshooter, no it didn't boot from the ubuntu disc, or other discs like fedora 10 [14:14] again, mibbit [14:14] oh. it's an irc client [14:14] bah [14:15] can anyone recommend a *simple* ftp server? [14:15] bazhang, yes, if I boot my desktop from the cd and perform an integrity check, it succeeds with no errors. but my notebook still boots from HD, although the CD drive is listed first in the boot order, and it boots from knoppix cd for example fine. [14:15] !umask > burkmat [14:15] Sorry, I don't know anything about umask [14:15] bazhang updating apt sources triggers the same error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/191646/ [14:16] moldy i use protftpd and it works well [14:16] eBug, why did you mix version repos? [14:16] sean2009, okay, than that seems to be the same problem like mine :) using an external drive was your only solution? [14:16] i use vsftpd [14:16] piXelshooter, yes it was [14:16] bazhang to upgrade some packages [14:16] piXelshooter, try some boot options then [14:16] brabo: that's the one i know :) i was hoping there was something simpler, because for this instance, i only need 1 r/w directory and 1 user [14:16] !bootoptions | piXelshooter [14:16] piXelshooter: For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions [14:17] bazhang i fixed the repos now [14:17] piXelshooter, luckily i had bought one a few weeks before for my acer aspire one [14:17] eBug, to upgrade what [14:17] bazhang openoffice packages [14:17] moldy: one time connection?

[14:21] Guest61260: most often, the only thing happening in standby mode is the system waiting for a wakeup call, or receiving feedback from power-state [14:22] Guest61260: for the latter, this will (usually) set hibernation in motion [14:22] bazhang so, where do I go from here?

[14:39] hi [14:39] Very nice Ubuntu: http://news.softpedia.com/news/GRUB-2-The-New-Boot-Loader-in-Ubuntu-9-10-113671.shtml [14:39] could somebody help me with a problem i have please [14:40] ShockF: describing your problem could help to find out... [14:40] go Aussie [14:40] !ask | ShockF [14:40] ShockF: 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. :-) [14:41] !topic no need for foreplay ;) [14:41] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [14:41] Anyone knows where Ubuntu 9.04 themes are? I want to have the new theme which is on 9.04 on my Ubuntu 8.10 [14:42] Gourlis, try www.ubuntu-art.org [14:42] ok so i have just downloaded and burnt what i suspect is the latest version of ubuntu to a disk i downloaded it from the main website and i put the cd in my laptop everything loads up fine yet when i press enter to start the installation something seems to load and then everything goes blank yet the laptop is still running and all the lights are on any help with this ? [14:42] matrixblue, i want the official theme made by ubuntu. :D [14:42] Gourlis, the theme is called human and it should be there [14:42] ShockF: have you tried the alternate install disc? [14:43] alternate install disc ? [14:43] oks, i'm doing with pygtk a dialog and if I apply to this leave-notify-event it works right, but if I add a scrolledwindow to it, when the mouse is on the scroll it disappears, How can I avoid it ? [14:43] Xcell, looks to me like they are changing something unnecessary so I have to learn it agin.... [14:43] ShockF: well... no idea about this bug, but there is an "alternative install cd" available, which uses textmode, maybe this works for you? [14:43] anyone experiencing random hardlocks in Jaunty with the iwl3945 driver? [14:43] aren't the blueprints for livecd/install-disks available online? [14:43] I'm sure you can get the artwork there [14:43] !alternate | ShockF [14:43] ShockF: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the link on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal [14:43] matrixblue, not the other one in 9.04 which is somehow dark i think [14:43] ShockF, are you getting into the live cd mode or are you pressing install at the first menu? [14:44] Titan8990- na...it'll be nice...especially for modern bios and memory management. [14:44] Gourlis, I think that' darkroom [14:44] im trying to learn C++ but ubuntu wont recognize some of the commands can anyone help me [14:44] bootstrap: what commands ? [14:44] bootstrap: do you at least have the compiler? [14:44] using [14:44] no i can get to the splash menu and can choose options ive tried the try before installing option and that seemd to load and then i tried the install option and that seemd to load and then went blank [14:45] !info build-essentials | bootstrap [14:45] bootstrap: Package build-essentials does not exist in jaunty [14:45] ugh...

[14:49] ShockF: definitely [14:49] I installed Ubuntu on my USB Stick using VMware (to avoid burning Ubuntu to CDROM). I can boot it fine within VMWare (from USB) but if I try to boot it from the pyshical machine I get back to Busybox after the menu. Do I have to edit something like fstab?

[14:50] @hoohaah do you think the wubi installation may work ? [14:51] hdparm installed already [14:51] ShockF: if you can, use a normal install [14:51] big-pengwiin: if it is very very old is possible [14:51] szia pici tetsver [14:51] kk [14:51] Pici, I can't remove OSX icons in 8.10 although they are not working at all. You know anyway removing them completely ? [14:51] erUSUL, beat me to it ;) [14:51] no, not too old [14:51] ShockF: that was really a mock answer ;) .

[14:52] ShockF: wubi is considered by many a way to test if it works with the hardware, there are some problems with it, so I wouldn't recommend it as a permanent solution [14:52] hoohaah: it's not a custom kernel build. it's a 9.04 amd64 server install [14:52] hello [14:52] kblin: did you catch my earlier sysctl remark? [14:52] Pici, I went usr/share/icons and i can't see them there. only in right click properties on the desktop and customize etc.. [14:52] hoohaah: yeah, checking [14:52] @myritti would you recomend i use it to see if it will install and then if it does try the text based version ? [14:52] big-pengwiin: can you paste the output of « sudo hdparm -I /dev/sdx » for your disk ? [14:52] dmazzone: always best to do that in the server tab or something just incase that happens :) [14:53] Gourlis: Only system wide icons are installed there. /home/$user/.icons is where your own user's icon themes are installed. [14:53] yeah that good call :) [14:53] erUSUL of course, thanks [14:53] Pici, oh let me check. [14:53] kblin: set all ipv6 options to 0 [14:53] what do i need to wright C++ when using ubuntu [14:53] ShockF: that's about the only use I can think for it. === dmazzone is now known as dmazzone-away [14:54] @myrtti ok i shall try that then first and i shall come back with my results and let you know how i get on [14:54] bootstrap: a text editor and the compiler minimum... you can also install an IDE [14:54] bootstrap: way off on the spelling..

Is there any easy way to password/encrypt files in VIM without requiring a seperate program to decrypt before modifying? [15:02] its installing now so ill tell you exactly what happens [15:03] JerseyMonkey: better to automatically decrypt said files [15:03] JerseyMonkey: vim doesn't decrypt on it's own [15:03] hoohaah thanks a lot [15:03] Vinceman, - of course linux is more difficult, but that's the learning curve combined with the experience [15:04] basszatok meg itt vannak ertelmes emberek! [15:04] jhammit: offtopic, but i find ubuntu not difficult at all [15:04] nem ugy mint az ubuntu-hun-n [15:04] JerseyMonkey: maybe it is better to use an ecripted partition or folder ? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FolderEncryption [15:04] is working then with linux a good investment for the future?

[15:05] Hi guys :) Is there a list of changes between Debian and Ubuntu Server available somewhere? :) [15:05] or, at least, a general list [15:06] hoohaah: ok, the disable ipv6 and a restart of networking fixed it for me [15:06] dazjorz, tried google? just curious [15:06] kblin: :) [15:07] znh_: of course, and I noticed the wikipedia "ubuntu server edition" page just forwards to ubuntu and that'sit [15:07] but I figured somebody in here may have a link or so [15:07] where is the xorg.conf file ? [15:07] ubuntu: /etc/X11 [15:07] Anyone have/had issues with nvidia GeForce 7050 PV hardware corrupting the display regularly (and been able to make it stop)? If so, I'd like to hear from you... [15:07] dazjorz: thnx [15:07] znh_: I think most pages about ubuntu server are simply about the differences between windows server and ubuntu server, and such things, I specifically want to know debian versus ubuntu server [15:08] :) [15:08] dazjorz: ubuntu server -windows ;) [15:08] znh_: most of the changes between debian and vanilla ubuntu are to make the desktop easier, which is amazing, but if I am installing a server, I don't want those things :) === nick is now known as Guest65611 [15:08] <[nrx]> I have a weird problem, not necessarily Ubuntu related.

Hmm [15:10] dazjorz, brb [15:10] [nrx]: call reception and ask for proxy server settings, or at least the url to the login page [15:10] hoohaah: if the only difference is the windows vs linux kernel, that's one heck of an awful server : p [15:10] what does the -adobe-new century schoolbook-medium-r-normal-*-*-300-*-*-*-*-*-* mean? [15:10] [nrx]: can you ping elsewhere? [15:10] Interested in setting up 9.04 for migrating without a mouse or pad, how do I get the UNDERLINE to display so I can do Alt - (plus) underlined letter to navigate the menus etc., [15:11] The_Warlock: that's the logical font description for X [15:11] <[nrx]> hoohaah, I have all of that information. Unfortunately, I can't get any traffic going at all. Can't even ping the router/gateway/dns servers [15:11] The_Warlock: ie the font standard used by X [15:11] i installed WUBI on my windows XP machine. can someone PM me on what i do from there? i'm really confused. [15:11] The_Warlock: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_logical_font_description [15:11] [nrx]: what's in your /etc/resolv.conf? [15:11] hoohaah: tnx [15:12] <[nrx]> I'm not in the hotel at the mo so nothing relevant to that connection unfortunately :( [15:12] [nrx]: Are you trying by name or IP address? [15:12] <[nrx]> dj_segfault, both [15:13] [nrx]: Wait, is this wireless or wired? [15:13] [nrx]: have the dhcp leases expired? [15:13] http://paste.ubuntu.com/191690/ folkds [15:13] <[nrx]> dj_segfault, both :) [15:13] how do i autostart something in kubuntu [15:13] <[nrx]> hoohaah, I don't think that's the problem. I can fire up the laptop into OSX and it's fine. Connect to the network, fire up firefox and bang, get the login page. [15:13] <[nrx]> IIn ubuntu, I get connected, fire up firefox and nothing [15:14] [nrx]: restrictive firewall settings? [15:14] <[nrx]> I've checked network settings and the IP/DNS assigned via DHCP and all is well (identical mostly to the settings in place on OSX) [15:14] <[nrx]> hoohaah, explain? [15:14] someone plz, take a look at this [15:14] http://paste.ubuntu.com/191690/ [15:14] [nrx]: that about answers my question ;) [15:15] <[nrx]> :) [15:15] <[nrx]> I'm totally baffled if I'm honest [15:15] hoohaah, how ill i get the X logical description for my font? [15:15] <[nrx]> Even put in a network proxy to no avail [15:16] it wouldn't be firefox as you can't even ping it. Do you have a dhclient.conf that's assigning custom dns servers that preceed that obtained by dhcp? [15:16] ok back [15:16] [nrx]: what is the exact error msg you get from ping ? maybe it is a problem with routes ? [15:17] the problem still persists i choose to boot into ubuntu i get a message saying press esc to enter menu with a countdown i let it countdown and then the screen just goes blank again =/ [15:17] <[nrx]> hoohaah, a quick search shoes no dhclient.conf. I must add that I can use this happily (like right now) in the office wireless network ANd on a wired connection [15:17] <[nrx]> erUSUL, I can't replicate at the moment, I'm not in the hotel. But when I am... obviously I can't get online heh :( [15:17] The_Warlock: mkfontdir will generate a file for you [15:17] Ah; so I'm new to all this, how does an IRC work? [15:17] Anyone have/had issues with nvidia GeForce 7050 PV hardware corrupting the display regularly (and been able to make it stop)? If so, I'd like to hear from you. [15:17] The_Warlock: else, use xfontsel to sift through each option [15:18] any ideas hoohaah or myrtti [15:18] Pumba: you are currently in the #ubuntu channel of the FreeNode IRC network, and when you speak, everybody here receives it [15:18] Oh cool [15:18] [nrx]: well the msg is allways a good indication... if it says unknown host --> dns problem if it says no route to host --> a routes problem if it timeouts --> who knows? ;P [15:18] Pumba: that's pretty much it. you can also talk to people in private, outside of a channel - it may depend on your IRC client, but /msg [username] [message] usually does it [15:19] <[nrx]> erUSUL, ueah I appreciate that :) [15:19] How do I make my desktop see nfs shares? I can mount the manually, bot not see them through the network browser. [15:19] Pumba: /join [channel] to join new channels, /leave to leave them; etc. it's kinda simple :) [15:19] is there a way to make Courier-IMAP use the MX records to deliver to a mailbox of the same name, instead of just dropping it off locally? [15:19] Cool! [15:19] <[nrx]> erUSUL, he issue seems to stem around getting to the authentication page. I can't get that far... it's like firefox wont redirect by default to that page, you know? [15:19] is font rendering dependent on the distro of linux or is the mindow manager dependent? [15:20] window* [15:20] Pumba: usually, in a conversation on a large channel, you prefix your message with "[username], " or "[username]: " so your message stands out against the flood of messages (that's what I've been doing, almost automatically) [15:20] [nrx]: might indeed be a security measure [15:20] Pumba: it's easy, you don't have to type "dazjorz: " every time; just type "daz" and press tab until it says "dazjorz: " [15:20] Pumba: for more freenode support join in #freenode -> /join #freenode ;) [15:20] [nrx]: ssl certs fine on firefox? === tue is now known as ahmad- [15:20] <[nrx]> hoohaah, but then surely if I'm telling it what address to go to, it would accept that? It's not even finding it. I'd dead in the water, entirely once connected [15:20] [nrx]: the outh page of the router ? [15:20] dazjorz: ... [15:20] Pumba: or, on other clients, type "daz", press tab, see the options, and potentially type some more characters and press tab until you get it :) [15:21] [nrx]: then back to /etc/resolv.conf :) [15:21] i know you love highlighting me [15:21] [nrx]: this is absolutely maddening as you're not able to test any theories [15:21] DaZ: oh shit, it must be even worse for you :p [15:21] dazjorz: Thanks for your advice! [15:21] <[nrx]> hoohaah, yeah. It's even worse when I fire up OSX to get online... do a bit of googling then need to reboot into Linux.. and fail [15:21] fah ale [15:22] DaZ: I had a highlight on "*daz*", but got highlighted constantly, there's some dazedit lamer which impersonates freenode staff sometimes etc, people talk about "dazzle", etc :P [15:22] <[nrx]> hoohaah, I know you say /etc/resolv.conf however surely I'd be able to access the default page(s), DNS server, Gateway etc by IP. I can't even ping them [15:22] <[nrx]> Which to me would suggest routes. [15:22] i have only on 'daz' and it's fine [15:22] hello all. i'm having trouble with flashplugin. flashplugin-nonfree is installed on my system yet i cannot load flash content in firefox or midori. I tried installing the plugin from adobe.com, but both the deb and the tarball tell me x64 is not supported. surely there's a way to view flash content on a 64-bit system, right?

[15:23] @hoohaah i tried the wubi thing and the same happens as with my live cd do you think my hardware might not match whats needed for ubuntu [15:23] Pumba: btw, when your client detects your name it highlights the message, the practice of adding someones nick in a message (like when I say "pumba" or "DaZ"), is called highlighting too :) [15:23] [nrx]: do you restart networking upon each roam?

I think I'll just watch now and slowly pick things up. [15:24] <[nrx]> hoohaah, I don't think it makes much difference because all the settings are correct and the relevant entries are made (gateway, DNS, etc) [15:25] [nrx]: i'm more inclined to use wpa_supplicant or similar [15:25] [nrx]: seemingly..

[15:34] Hi! On a notebook with an ATI Mobility Radeon X700 after installation of Ubuntu 9.04 the X-server only shows a basically black screen with flickering. According to X.org.log the "radeon" driver is used. Switching to fglrx is not an option, since the current fglrx version doesn't support this chipset anymore. Any ideas? [15:35] erUSUL, adding 'exec perl script.pl' to the end of .profile doesn't seem to work either [15:35] stittel: have you looked at radeonhd if it supports it? [15:35] cporter: you do not need the exec in .profile [15:35] Oh [15:36] hi, can someone tell me what happened to uhci_hcd and ehci_hcd modules in jaunty? I just upgraded and need to deactivate usb 1.1 again, it makes a horrible high-pitched noise. [15:36] cporter: also is script in the users path ? if not you need to pass the whole path [15:36] script.pl [15:36] It's in ~/.startup/startup.pl [15:36] Myrtti you still here ? [15:37] jussi01: Unfortunately it's not. [15:37] cporter: then you need to call it with the absolute path.... [15:37] Stiletto: What should I do? [15:37] When I press enter, my computer starts to smoke and send puffs of flame out the back - is this normal? [15:37] cporter: perl ~/.startup/startup.pl [15:37] cporter: and it is in all the user's homes ?

[15:38] erUSUL, well, I'm sure there's a better way of doing it, but I'm quickly testing for now [15:38] d1gital: i think not [15:38] erUSUL, it's also a one-time startup script [15:38] cporter: ok [15:38] hoohaah: why not? that would be great. convert everything to ASCII art realtime lmfao [15:39] stittel: it can be done, can't it?

[15:51] I downloaded the installer from nVidia's site [15:51] but it says I need the package source [15:51] peanut034, System -> Administrator -> Hardware Drivers [15:51] I mean, the kernel source [15:52] I'm using 2.6.26-2_amd64 [15:52] it says it doesn't have a compiled module for my kernel [15:52] peanut034, do what rohit said [15:52] so I apparently need the source package [15:52] peanut034, I don't have any experience with installing directly from nvidia's website however i installed my drivers via that thing [15:52] !enter | peanut034 [15:52] peanut034: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [15:53] I installed kde and kubuntu and I think I botched it somehow [15:53] but I can't uninstall everything [15:53] peanut034, otherwise install the drivers from synaptic, or install the kernel-headers for your version from synaptic [15:53] does anyone know of a website where i can temp. host a rather large image file? I have a screenshot of my background being "cut" by a black bar, websites in firefox do it too [15:53] peanut034, always use the package manager [15:53] I tried apt-get --auto-remove --purge purge kde [15:53] and the same thing for kubuntu-desktop [15:53] but I still have lots of kde apps installed [15:53] do I have to get rid of them one by one? [15:53] !enter | halberd [15:53] halberd: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [15:53] halberd: yes, i had too [15:53] !puregnome | halberd [15:53] halberd: If you want to remove all !KDE packages, type « sudo apt-get remove kdelibs4c2 kdelibs5-data && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » into a !terminal [15:54] gartral:what is large?

[15:54] How do I make my desktop see nfs shares? I can mount the manually, but not see them through the network browser. [15:55] yes, the first half looks like it just removes libraries [15:55] but I have kde apps installed like kate [15:55] halberd, that is how it is done. [15:55] would the first half remove kate? [15:55] does anyone know how to see what ip adresses are connected to an adhoc network? [15:55] halberd: the libs are dependencies, removes them, and it will autoremove what linked too them [15:55] well I'll try it [15:55] <_ruben> yes, because kate would depend on those libs [15:55] ok thanks [15:56] I want to check out a working copy using svn, but when I run: svn co http://blahblah I get a directory called trunk in the dir I want to download the fiels into...how can I get the files from trunk in my dir instead of the dir called trunk? [15:56] halberd: note: this proccess may take a *very* long time depending on your inet [15:56] oops [15:56] barbarella: 1.5 megs for the file I want to upload [15:56] wtf happened to amarok, it's completely unusable now =( [15:57] shambat, svn co http:/foobar TheNameOfDirToSave [15:58] although what I actually want to do is, sudo apt-get --auto-remove --purge purge kdelibs4c2 kdelibs5-data [15:58] halberd: try that without two purge commands [15:58] halberd, sudo aptitude remove foobar [15:59] !foo [15:59] Bar [15:59] how do I sudo an X application?? I am in Kate copying and pasting different parts of a config file, and need to save it, but the regular user doesn't have rights to save to the same directory. In the past I have saved it to my home dir, then sudo'ed and copied it manually.. just trying to see if I can save a step [15:59] !foobar [15:59] Sorry, I don't know anything about foobar [15:59] and when I do that, it doesn't work because neither kdelibs4c2 or the other one is installed [15:59] !aptitude | Titan8990 [15:59] Titan8990: 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 [15:59] bieb: in a terminal type sudo kate path/filename [15:59] halberd: then you have a deeper problem, almost every KDE package requires those libs [16:00] jpds, I know what it is, that is why I recommended it for his situation? [16:00] the extra --purge is to purge the ones that are auto-removed [16:00] halberd, pretty sure --purge clears config files [16:00] chocobanana: will that make Kate sudo'ed for any other files I open in it? [16:00] halberd: then flag it correctly, because i don't think Apt will understand it the way you've formatted it [16:00] yes I know Titan, that's what I want.. to remove every trace [16:00] halberd, aptitude will auto-remove dependencies by default [16:00] how to switch to ipv4? [16:01] gartral what was incorrect? [16:01] it didn't warn me about anything [16:01] halberd, nothing in the package manager will touch your home directory [16:01] bieb: as long as kate remains open and you open other files from withing kate. Once you close it, no more sudo [16:01] chocobanana: awesome.. thanks!! [16:01] halberd: just try it with a single purge, no flag [16:01] ! ipv4 [16:01] Sorry, I don't know anything about ipv4 [16:01] bieb: you're welcome :) [16:01] sudo apt-get purge yadayada [16:02] ! inet6 [16:02] Sorry, I don't know anything about inet6 [16:02] !ipv6 [16:02] For an introduction to IPv6 and information on tunneling IPv6 through IPv4 connections, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IPv6 | To disable IPv6 see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WebBrowsingSlowIPv6IPv4 [16:02] no more luck gartral, libs just aren't installed [16:02] thanks gartral [16:02] halberd: try your *original* command with the single, unflagged, purge [16:02] gartral that's what I did [16:03] let me tell you the way this problem came to be--first I did apt-get install kde, then startx, and then i was in kde but I was stuck as root [16:03] so from within that session I did apt-get install kubuntu-desktop, and then I discovered that permissions on some of the config files it made were root [16:04] so that when I restarted the computer, I couldn't log in because it couldn't access them [16:04] !sudo | halberd [16:04] halberd: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [16:04] halberd: ok, try using that above command for those libs, but install them... not purge or remove === vvpalin is now known as vvpalin_ [16:05] oh, you mean install them then remove them? === vvpalin_ is now known as vvpalin [16:05] install, see if they help you, then if not, remove [16:05] anyone here good with Customizing menus?

[16:19] is it possible to strip ubuntu down to <200mb [16:19] halberd: what do you have in it's place? [16:19] but what were you going to say earlier gartral about "don't reboot" [16:19] nothing gartral, there is no corresponding key [16:20] rascal999: Why would you want to do that? [16:20] Paulo39: www.keyserver.net [16:20] halberd: part of the linux philosphy is that you shoud *never* have too reboot your machine unless you have a kernal panic, alternativly, you can use zap to "quick reboot" [16:20] I used to have notifications for print jobs in jaunty (e.g. job sent, job finished, errors) now they are gone, anyone ideas? [16:20] gartral: I could plug in a MS keyboard through USB [16:20] rascal999, get the minimal iso and add to it [16:20] soreau, to make it it netbootable [16:20] !minimal | rascal999 [16:20] rascal999: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [16:20] gartral: unless you upgrade the kernel [16:20] halberd: hold on, ill look for the equivlent [16:21] i want ubuntu to be able to run diskless [16:21] and be served via pxe [16:21] Le-Chuck_ITA: IIRC there's a way too reinit kernals as well... but that was years ago [16:21] rascal999: I could be wrong but I thought there was (a possibly easier) way to netboot ubuntu [16:21] Is there a good gui program for jaunty that allows me to backup to Amazon's S3 service? [16:21] gartral: not so much, it's the "kexec" system call, but that will replace everything just as a plain reboot :) [16:21] soreau, you may mean install via network [16:21] rascal999: you might check the edubuntu docs; never done it, but I think they have stuff there [16:21] i don't want to install [16:22] I think rascal999 wants a live system that boots via ethernet [16:22] rascal999: No, I mean boot via netboot [16:22] rascal999: I know someone who did it once, said it booted fast as hell [16:22] Hi, what's the best way to do a cross-file PDF word search in Linux? [16:23] soreau, so ubuntu is downloaded and ran as is, no installation needed [16:23] i've done it with dsl and puppy, but i don't like them very much [16:23] rascal999: No idea, I never did it before [16:23] rascal999: http://www.google.com/search?hl=it&client=firefox-a&rls=com.ubuntu%3Ait%3Aunofficial&hs=Ari&q=a+live+ubuntu+system+that+boots+from+pxe&btnG=Cerca&lr= [16:23] Is there a way of viewing all the ip addresses connected to an adhoc network? [16:23] olavimmanuel: that page is down right now.. :( [16:23] rascal999: it seems like the first link is yours or am I wrong? [16:23] zel152: yes there is [16:24] gartral: well I'm going to do sudo startx now, if it doesn't work I might have to disconnect [16:24] hi there...is there any good dvd ripping software for Linux that allows me to take only the main feature Video_TS files? [16:24] brb going to try some vga codes wish me luck [16:24] zek152: yes there is [16:24] halberd: are you in terminal now? [16:24] gartral: yes--if I disc I'll come back [16:25] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1112209 exactly what i wanted, thankyou [16:25] How much of an ordeal is it to change the user name of an account -after- it's been used for a lot of different stuff? I'd imagine that your user name gets tied into a lot of config files :> [16:25] vvpalin: how? [16:25] maco: any sites that allow 1.5mb+ screen shots? [16:25] I misspelled mine when I entered it and have been stuck with it ever since [16:26] rascal999: sometimes just acting like google understands questions is a good way to find answers :) [16:26] Just a quick question (not inviting a flamewar) but...what is the advantage Ubuntu has over other OSs? [16:27] gartral, seems to me the bigger issue is why are they that huge [16:27] Lunnesia: #ubuntu-offtopic would be a better place to discuss. #ubuntu is support only, not discussion.

Sorry, I didn't know about that, Pici. My bad :( [16:27] maco: probably because it's uncompressed data from my GFZ card [16:27] GFX* [16:28] anybody using 64-bit ubuntu, have any idea about Firefox+flash support?

[16:29] sudo startx [16:29] when I select a native language in KDE regional settings....fonts like sans serif display the native characters....so how many languages does a font file contain ? [16:30] oh is that the problem [16:30] is there any way to get apt to install into ~bin, instead of system wide?

[16:31] gartral, yes [16:31] gartral, how can I get out of kde back to the terminal?

[16:37] halberd, what is it that you want to achieve ? [16:37] Paulo39, that's fine [16:37] arvind_khadri, I'm trying to get out of kde back to a tty [16:37] Paulo39, it's maintained by kubuntu developers and mixing kubuntu & ubuntu is just dandy [16:37] anyone up for helping me with keysid configuration?

[16:48] so can anyone help me or not? [16:48] Psykopaten: the alternate install cd install the same packages as the normal cd, it just does so from a text installer to add a few more, and it can be used to upgrade an Ubuntu installation [16:48] ozzer: with what?

The files work under Exaile and Listen [17:09] edbian I am getting the same problems I got before [17:09] before I uninstalled kde and tried again [17:09] halberd_: What did you try and what are the problems? [17:10] edbian I get the error about dcopserver when I try to start with the limited mode in kde [17:10] halberd_: Are you install "kde" or "kubuntu-desktop" [17:10] and I get a different error (that it doesn't have permissions for ~/.ICEauthority) when I try to start with the full mode in kde [17:10] edbian I installed kde-core [17:10] edbian but the last time, I installed both kde and kubuntu-desktop [17:10] how do i make a normal, persistent copybuffer, like windows has... this "select+middle click" crud is ANNOYING [17:10] hello, guys! [17:10] and you got the same errors? [17:10] edbian yes [17:11] gartral: ctrl+c is already escape sequence [17:11] edbian if I change permissions on ~/.ICEauthority it gives me another error, I could check and find out what it is if you want [17:11] halberd_: 1st things 1st. the error regarding ~/.ICEauthority [17:12] Knirgh: yea, but if i close firefox or whatever im copying from, the buffer is cleaerd, how do i make it *persistent*? [17:12] gartral, ctrl+c and ctrl+v works as well too. [17:12] edbian well actually what I mean is, chown, because it's owned by root [17:12] halberd_: It doesn't matter what it is you should have read/write permissions to everything in your home folder. [17:12] edbian and needs to be owned by me [17:12] eurythmia: see the post to Knirgh [17:12] edbian can you think of a reason why .ICEauthority would be owned by root? [17:13] gartral, interesting. I've never had that problem before. [17:13] halberd_: run sudo chown -R halberd /home/halberd [17:13] Hello, anybody know where pidgin saves the history files? [17:13] gartral, then again, klipper takes care of my clipboard. *is a kde user* [17:13] edbian yeah I'll do that (and did that the last time) but I get a different problem then on launching kde, 1 moment [17:13] halberd_: it was probably because u started kde as root and it generated that file [17:13] halberd_: One time I mounted my debian /home with a fedora install and it changed all of the permissions in my home folder because fedora starts UID's at 500 and debian / ubuntu starts them at 100 [17:13] halberd_: Ok [17:14] eurythmia: its left over from intrepid... how do i make it a normal copy buffer, or what decent clipboard managers are there/ [17:14] hi where is the german channel?

[17:15] !clipboard [17:15] Sorry, I don't know anything about clipboard [17:15] edbian: crap now it's working! thanks...

Strange how your /home got permissions changed huh. [17:16] edbian but the test is now, will it work this well when I reboot and login from the gui? [17:16] edbian: Thanks for your help. I have deleted the unwanted partition. Now I need to resize one of my existing partitions to use this newly unallocated space. The option to resize/move is grayed out.

[17:17] edbian and I'm guessing that if I do another /etc/init.d/kdm restart, it will create another .ICEauthority owned by root === codeguru is now known as solid_liquid === solid_liquid is now known as solidLiq [17:17] edbian but we'll see, brb [17:18] halberd_: You shouldn't need to run that command ever again.

[17:21] gartral, well, there you go ... hep it does what you want/need :) [17:22] Rabbitbunny: you don't have to mount it to a cdrom you can mount it to any file in the filesystem (one that is empy works best). Although I am not sure you can mount an iso that way. === orochi_ is now known as [orochi] [17:22] edbian: I am not trying to resize the root partition, I had another partition that I use purely for saving stuff.

[17:22] anupamsps: with spaces either escape the spaces, or use quotes, (' or " ) [17:22] tdn: In that case you might want to use ifconfig.

It's cool but it doesn't keep any changes. Is it possible to keep changes? [17:25] thurston: All you have is NTFS and unallocated? You don't have EXT3 where is ubuntu?

You're welcome [17:25] oh! dangit [17:25] he he [17:25] no worries [17:25] znh: there is the usb-disk creator tool in ubuntu that can make a bootable thumbdrive that can keep changes. but you need to boot ubuntu to use the tool. :) [17:25] no I just am using graphical xchat and it logged me in as this [17:26] does anyone have a more intelligent answer than cabrey === bparkis is now known as halberd [17:26] znh: also the pendrivelinux.com site has info on doing it from widnows [17:26] znh: Yes you can!

[17:26] cabrey: puppy linux does it automatically I'm sure it can be done with a usb stick [17:26] !unetbootin [17:26] For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [17:27] edbian: Sorry about that my message got truncated. Two NTFS, Extended, ext3, linux-swap, two unallocated. [17:27] edbian, he wanted ubuntu and the usb-creator only makes a live system [17:27] anyone have a description of how to set up a raw queue with cups-pdf? the current setup turns all text into rasterized images.. [17:27] im outta here, i wanna watch a movie [17:28] after click on restore is there anuthing that i have to do ? [17:28] whats the 'official' way to rebuild gcc? [17:28] cabrey: The only reason live-systems don't save your changes is becuase you can't write to a CD. (You actually can with CD-RW and USB sticks). I am not sure how to do it with ubuntu but I have done it with puppy (both media) and it is the same concept [17:28] cabrey did he want a persistent USB ubuntu? [17:28] okay thanks for the link, but if I add some programs like jdk, git, python 2.4, eclipse and the whole android sdk. will it save the changes or it just save what you have on home? [17:28] server irc.rizon.net [17:28] thurston: And you want it to look like what when you're done? Are the partitons in that order? [17:28] I'm trying to make a iso with the sdk and everything on it already for android developerrs [17:29] developers* [17:29] edbian prolly the same method... [17:29] edbian, i know that, but i'm just saying you can't change the entire structure of the system with a 'pwetty pwease' [17:29] edbian: cabrey: last time i used the ubuntu usb stick creator, it gave me the option to reserve space for permanent user data. [17:29] yep [17:29] Hi. One question please: is there any program (gnome) which act as a frame or parent window for other applications. Like a frame window which is split (horizontal and vertical) in 4 areas - one for terminal, another for file manager and so on. We have so many options to overlap all windows/applications. I just want to be able to stick few applications together without overlapping. [17:29] sipior, thats different from saving changes ;) [17:29] sipior actually it is really simple to create a persistent usb ubuntu [17:29] space_cadet: puppy asks you when you shut down after each session if you want to save your files (changes) === alberto is now known as Guest63910 [17:30] mmm4m5m: yep its called xmonad and it replaces metacity [17:30] cabrey: you can change files on the usb stick as much as you'd like. [17:30] cabrey, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [17:30] well i went to the usual site but now they only have windows version for the recent distro of ubntu [17:30] and idk how to use slax [17:30] thurston: Did you see me last question? === redarrow is now known as redarrow_ [17:30] lostson: thanks, of you have more hints, please tell :) - I will check all. === redarrow_ is now known as redarrow__ [17:30] thurston: you want it to look like what when you're done? Are the partitons in that order? [17:30] does anyone know a unix command to find the three users with the most processes running? === redarrow__ is now known as redarrow___ === redarrow___ is now known as redarrow [17:31] mmm4m5m: check here http://xmonad.org/ for all the info you need [17:31] edbian: I want to join the unallocated to the NTFS. This to form one larger partition. [17:31] space_cadet: htop/top can do that some how i imagine. [17:31] hey all. I'm having issues with Transmission. I can't log onto the web interface. I have set a username and password and removed the access restriction IP so it should be accessible from anywhere but i can't even log on from localhost [17:31] Dr_Willis, yes.. i got that far... but... [17:31] sipior, what i am trying to say is that the usb system acts exactly like a live cd. it will only makes changes in the ram regardless of whether you can writee back to the medium [17:31] * space_cadet looks around [17:31] thurston: That will require many steps. 1st question. Do you need that data that is on any of these partitions? [17:31] what next? [17:31] Hello [17:32] cabrey, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [17:32] I am having problems makin a simple bot work on my xchat [17:32] Can anyone help me [17:32] ActionParsnip: try the 'view web interface button'? it works here.. Ugly but it works. :) [17:32] where may I find more cutting edge mysql packages for ubuntu? [17:32] cabrey, unless you say... save to disk [17:32] is there a private distribution? [17:32] so is karmic ready for use yet? [17:33] when i install POE and POE Components [17:33] trask4: i would say no. [17:33] edbian: I still need the data on the NTFS. [17:33] trask4, ask in #ubuntu+1 [17:33] cabrey: from release 8.10, this is simply not true. [17:33] it still not solve it [17:33] thurston: (and the EXT3) do you have 2 NTFS paritions in an extension? [17:33] next on my list of todos: why is it so slow to connect to a wireless network? [17:33] space_cadet: Dr_Willis, ty [17:33] sipior, and yet it has never saved changes for me... === aria is now known as Guest13597 [17:33] I set iwconfig wlan0 essid belkin54g [17:33] and it takes like 1 or 2 minutes before it connects [17:33] well i have no audio on my laptop for 9.04 [17:34] used to have it on previous verisona nd other linux that i run from cds [17:34] what might be causing that? [17:34] sipior: cabrey I think that it will only save changes that were made in the home folder. [17:34] i may have to reinstall the OS idk [17:34] edbian: I am still a newbie, what do you mean by extension. [17:34] i tried to solve it before but coudl not get help [17:35] cabrey: i suggest trying again. [17:35] edbian, that would mean that when I use my usb persistent ubuntu install, i wouldn't be able to install things... which i can [17:35] edbian like compiz, the nVidia drivers [17:35] anyone good with renaming batch files? need to add a consecutive sequence of numbers as a prefix to multiple files [17:35] etcf [17:35] edbian, yes! my point is that no matter what it is still a live system [17:35] thurston: A typical harddrive can only hold 4 primary paritions. You can create these logical extentions that can hold many more paritions if you need more than four. [17:35] anyways moving on... [17:36] space_cadet: Maybe there is some trickery behind the scenes for package installation?? [17:36] hey cabrey [17:36] * Nehyx is away: ZZZzzzZZZzzz [17:36] You can set up a 'live usb system' of ubuntu with a persistant save file. some time it can be a little flakey in what changes it 'saves' however. [17:36] irc-anope, ? [17:36] what's the name of the gde wireless configuration program? [17:36] space_cadet: I never thought of that. Saving the home dir is simply what I thought was happening (my own personal theory sorta lol) We shoud probably do a google search and stop bickering. Is the original poster even paying attention to us anymore? [17:36] Cabrey can you help with simple bot [17:37] i tried to set this bot [17:37] kwifimanager [17:37] it needed POE and POE components [17:37] i install them [17:37] irc-anope, what are you talking about? [17:37] thurston: Do you understand? [17:37] hi [17:37] lostson: it is a different, it is win. manager... it is not like parent window where you can drag any other window (minimize all together). And everything else to be default (with overlaping) [17:37] who [17:37] hi, does anyone know about an another chat client? sorry my bad english btw, im bored of pidgin and amsn...

[18:02] how could i load a kernel module at boot time? [18:02] what to do? [18:03] mercutio22, perhaps if you give it a looot of time, it will work. Otherwise try okular. [18:03] !modprobe [18:03] Sorry, I don't know anything about modprobe [18:03] gah [18:03] d1gital, modprobe is for loading the kernel [18:03] Noxarethor: noone can guarantee your install will not lead to data loss. Back up. [18:04] jdu, YES, the printer just spit it!! [18:04] d1gital, i am talkin about loading at boot time [18:04] what program can i download for code in C language ? im in ubuntu. [18:04] what the heck [18:04] heheh [18:04] niuby, codeblocks (apt-get install codeblocks) [18:04] mcphail: I heard Linux can read NTFS [18:04] Noxarethor: yes. it can [18:05] Noxarethor, and write to it with ntfs-3g [18:05] Thank you all got it working, now off to try it out some more :) [18:05] Any body have idea on how to load a kernel module at boottime? [18:05] jdu any ideas how i can get either my ubuntu 9.04 cd to work i get to the spalsh menu chose the install option it seems to load and then the screen goes black ive tried different vga codes and still nothing i even tryed wubi and that also didnt work any help would be appreciated [18:05] http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-how-to-load-a-kernel-module-automatically-at-boot-time/ [18:05] Noxarethor: but if you get the install wrong you will nuke the music parition. [18:05] i went there , i didnt get it d1gital [18:06] mcphail: so, can't i just create another ntfs, move the music there and after that just copy it to the /home? [18:06] ShockF, dell system? [18:06] nope [18:06] zer0c00l, /etc/modules or /etc/modules.conf [18:06] i have a advent 5311 laptop [18:06] d1gital, what about loading a usbserial modem driver [18:07] Noxarethor: you can, yes. But you might mess up and format the wrong partition at install time. Up to you. USB drives are cheap. 13GB of music isn't. [18:07] when i bet ubutnu i can press esc to open a menu to be able to run in safemode etc. if i don't do this and select the top one i get an error (cpc). i can check the exact error unless anyone knows of the problem [18:07] boot* [18:07] ShockF, what happens if you switch to tty (ctrl+alt+f1)? [18:07] zer0c00l, just append the name of the module to /etc/modules.conf [18:07] whats tty ? [18:07] d1gital, ok [18:07] mcphail: someone must do the dirty job :D [18:08] ShockF, a terminal you should get to it with the key sequence above [18:08] i havent tried that should i do it now [18:08] Is there a command for opening the current directory in the console to a file browser window? [18:08] brb [18:08] ShockF, do you have a text login prompt? [18:08] Noxarethor: i'd format the C drive as ext3 and copy the music to it by running ubuntu to the live cd. You can then install onto the D drive and mount the old c drive as /music [18:09] jdu no i havent even installed ubuntu yet [18:09] civixier: nautilus . [18:09] ah, thank you :D [18:09] ShockF, ok. well, it sounds like an xorg problem. Google your video card and you'll probably find instructions. [18:09] ShockF, also, you might try the alternate cd installer [18:10] ShockF, then make the xorg fix after it is installed. === tavish is now known as ononon [18:10] 18:22 < soreau> tdn: In that case you might want to use ifconfig. For instance, sudo ifconfig eth0 <---- But this will only make it have the static IP address until next reboot.

OK [18:14] <\\`oot> stupid VMWare site [18:14] <\\`oot> found it I think [18:14] sirtophat, to be completely honest, not very. debian just doesnt come with as much pre-installed so it's a little more work but gets better performance [18:15] <\\`oot> on VMWare's site I have 2 options...

[18:28] \\`oot, you just execute the file from terminal [18:28] \\`oot, do a $file *.bundle what kind of file is it? [18:29] jiffe99, so statically link your binary, that way you wont have dependency issues [18:29] could anybody help me with the sis mirage3+ problem i have ive been told i need to do a xorg what is this and how do i do it [18:29] <\\`oot> uhh.... bash: VMware-Workstation-6.5.2-156735.i386.bundle: command not found [18:29] I'm trying to install via apt-get, which depends on other packages [18:29] \\`oot, you probably need to do "chmod +x " first [18:30] bzr is old, so I'm using their repository to get a new version, but it depends on a newer version of a different package than is available for 8.04 apparently [18:30] <\\`oot> same "command not found" error [18:30] <\\`oot> bingo: bash: VMware-Workstation-6.5.2-156735.i386.bundle: command not found [18:30] <\\`oot> err [18:30] \\`oot: prepend sh (with space) [18:30] <\\`oot> VMware-Workstation-6.5.2-156735.i386.bundle: a bash script text executable [18:31] \\`oot: btw, i recommend you to use virtualbox-ose or the like, for better integratin into ubuntu [18:31] ????????????????? [18:31] <\\`oot> nibbler_: Huh? [18:31] I prefer ports trees I think [18:31] nibbler_, doesn't really work if you need to work with vmware virtual machines [18:31] nibbler_, you need to install the virtualbox tools into the guest os [18:31] \\`oot, run sh VMware-blah blha blha.bundle [18:31] my 3d nvida driver wont work (black screen on startup) [18:31] frostburn can you help me with my install of ubuntu please [18:31] Crazyguy: didnt know this was requiered [18:32] ShockF, it depends?

(other than reloading your BG image till it doesn't look like crap) [18:32] nibbler : no it wouldnt allow me to download it for some reason [18:32] \\`oot: do you just want to set up a virtual machine, or do you depend on the fact that it is a vmware virtual machine? [18:32] Hi, when I do do-release-upgrade on my hardy, it says that 'No new release found' is that expected? [18:32] ShockF: show me the link you use [18:32] <\\`oot> no, I just want a virtual machine [18:33] <\\`oot> to test out Windows 7 (BETA) for my lab [18:33] \\`oot: aptitude install virtualbox-ose [18:33] <\\`oot> and I refuse to actually INSTALL it [18:33] hello, anyone knows if adobe flash plugin canches its own client data? in the same way the cookies works? [18:33] \\`oot, in that case I recommend virtualbox, the vmware workstation is quite a pain in the ass to install [18:33] <\\`oot> nibbler_: What am I installing? [18:33] CrazyEddy, yes there is a cache for flash [18:33] CrazyEddy, hehe that rhymes [18:33] <\\`oot> ahh... in that case I'll take your recommendations gents [18:33] \\`oot: this is *much* easier than using vmware, as it is open source and well supported by ubuntu, in contrary to the closed vmware, where you need to compile your kernel modules etc [18:34] how can i remaster ubuntu? [18:34] cabrey, how can be it reset!? [18:34] gartral, my solution was that laptop video card melted and i got an eeepc instead=( [18:34] dfr|work: yes. By default it will only look for another LTS release [18:34] nibbler : http://ubuntu.virginmedia.com/releases/jaunty/ [18:34] MGollum, oops responded to the wrong person [18:34] then i use the one at the bottom called PC (Intel x86) alternate install CD [18:34] Hi every one this is my first time i use IRC server for chat [18:34] mcphail, should i be able to override that with -m dekstop or that's a different setting? [18:34] MGollum, there really is no reset, its all stored in /tmp, which is wiped out after you reboot [18:34] ShockF: http://ubuntu.virginmedia.com/releases/jaunty/ubuntu-9.04-alternate-amd64.iso works perfectly for me, for example [18:34] nibbler_, you still have to compile kernel modules for virtualbox [18:35] dfr|work: i can't remember how to do that. It should be in the intrepid release notes [18:35] nibbler : i dont think that would work as i dont have an amd computer [18:35] cabrey: no, not true. they co0me with ubuntu [18:35] mcphail, okay... I probably don't want to do that anyway though, as I would imagine that another LTS release should be relatively soon. :) [18:35] ShockF: this is general 64bit latest cpu stuff [18:35] mcphail, thanks! [18:35] oh ok [18:35] frostburn: ... [18:35] dfr|work: pleasure :) [18:35] <\\`oot> cabrey: Am I going to have to mess with kernel compile, or will it just do it?

[18:54] rameshwo, and RHEL is a distro based on fedora [18:54] msk, sounds like something got munged, is there anything else on the screen?any errors? can you get to a terminal? (alt f2) [18:54] is there any app that improves wireless connection [18:54] anyone have any suggestions on using debian to track down hardware problems/how to talk to dell about getting stuff fixed? [18:54] CartoonCat, Yeah the machines can take some time to download but they have recent ones. I'm using their 8.04LTS server which of course can have java added in. [18:54] rameshwo: Debian is a linux distrobution that is very much community based. The ubuntu developers took debian "testing" and changed the art, changed what apps are installed by default, built an isntaller, added a couple other gui tools and out popped ubuntu. [18:54] Hi [18:54] mneptok : sorry..... [18:54] rameshwo: it's OK [18:54] avegas, are you talking about hardware fixes for dell, or software fixes for ubuntu and upstream debian? [18:54] CartoonCat, In fact I have 3 instances running with java on them. [18:54] I've got a question [18:54] !hi | G-ilgha [18:54] G-ilgha: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [18:55] rob_p: ok, well, i guess i will get downloading [18:55] !ask [18:55] edbian_, give the ubuntu devs a little more credit than that ;) [18:55] 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. :-) [18:55] frostburn :i got soft lock : CPU#0 stuck for 11s [init:1] [18:55] rameshwo: Also the ubuntu developers can walk on water [18:55] so what's the question [18:55] hi all... i've been trying to change the default logged in resolution for a user, and I came across this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution but it does say which gdm startup scripts to mody... any suggestions? [18:55] CartoonCat, If you don't need GUI, get the server... much smaller download. Good luck. [18:55] So I'd like to get ext4 instead of ext3 but someone has told me that grub can't boot ext4 :s [18:56] frostburn, I'm wondering what sorts of utilities I can run to try and get a better picture of what is actually wrong with the machine, and also if anyone has any idea if Dell will give me a hard time about replacing things [18:56] rameshwo: The biggest difference between debian and fedora is the package manager system. Fedora uses .rpm and yum, debian uses .deb and aptitude (so does ubuntu). [18:56] G-ilgha, uhhh they're wrong :) [18:56] is someone familiar with dmraid? when using `dmraid -ay` it says 'no raid disks', but debian found my jmicron ATARAID previously without problems [18:56] G-ilgha: ext4 can be booted by grub [18:56] msk, i've encountered that before and it's due to filesystem corruption, use a fsck and force the rebuild, i don't recall the exact command [18:56] they told me I had to put /boot on an other ext3 partition [18:57] rob_p: ya i need the gui. I can pull at 15mb to my core, but to where i am now aobut 1mbit, heh, take a looon time [18:57] and / on an ext4 [18:57] G-ilgha, no, ubuntu & fedora's grub can boot ext4 without /boot [18:57] rameshwo, fedora packages tend to have more verbose default config files IMHO [18:57] frostburn: i can't get into the console to do a fsck ! [18:57] G-ilgha: That is most likely outdated information. I was booting ubuntu for a good 2 months using ext4 [18:57] ^ [18:57] avegas, what sort of symptoms are you seeing? i'd recommend getting another hdd/partition for windows and calling dell tech support on any symptoms as well [18:57] ok :-) great news ! [18:57] msk, you need to use a live cd, either your ubuntu disk or a knoppix disk [18:58] G-ilgha: if you convert from ext3 to ext4, make sure you update your version of grub [18:58] quit [18:58] frostburn: i did a fsck earlier, reported some errors..& the console got stuck [18:58] mcphail, how ? [18:58] avegas: good luck with dell tech support. Most of the calls are forwarded to Bangledish, India (<- spelling?) [18:58] frostburn: ok.. [18:58] msk, fsck --force /dev/sd1 (or whathaveyou) [18:58] lol [18:58] G-ilgha, I wouldn't convert your file system, you don't reep all of the benefits anyways [18:58] CartoonCat, Yeah, the Desktop versions are 700+ MB while the server is like 160MB. But if you need the UI, I guess you'll be downloading for a while. [18:58] edbian_ ::: ubuntU DEVELOPERS CAN WALK ON WATER ? MEANING ? [18:58] frostburn, my filesystem went read-only on me then I ran fsck and many strange things seemed to be wrong [18:58] !offtopic [18:58] rameshwo, Jesus [18:58] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [18:59] G-ilgha: Only if you are upgrading do you need to worry about ext4 booting from grub [18:59] rameshwo: cabrey wanted me to give the ubuntu developers more credit. I was joking (1/2 joking really, they're brilliant people). [18:59] avegas, yeah, same thing happened to me, you'll need to run fsck --force, your disk is also probably dying, i'd start backing up everything [18:59] I just want to boot quickly [18:59] G-ilgha: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/904#Switching%20to%20ext4%20requires%20manually%20updating%20grub === arthurL is now known as fail [19:00] and I don't want to reinstall the whole distribution [19:00] frostburn, then I tried to reinstall Jaunty, and it didn't want to go [19:00] frostburn, the laptop is brand new though === fail is now known as Guest68797 === Guest68797 is now known as arthurL [19:00] avegas, hard drives are very fragile beasts in laptops, one wrong jostle and the head hits the platter [19:00] G-ilgha: There are rumors that updating ext3 to ext4 is not quite the same as a fresh ext4 install. I don't know why but you should research it before so that you know exactly what you're getting into. [19:01] edbian_, if you go from ext3 > ext4 you don't get all the benefits of a ext4 fs from the start [19:01] frostburn: what will when i run this "fsck --force /dev/sd1" will the errors get corrected ? [19:01] msk, it did for me, but your mileage may vary [19:01] G-ilgha: there ya go! ^ What cabrey siad. [19:01] frostburn: what will happen when i run this "fsck --force /dev/sd1" will the errors get corrected ? [19:02] msk: If you harddrive is broken and the laptop is still under warranty... [19:02] you make me hesitate [19:02] edbian_: i am not usinf a laptop..! [19:02] but reinstalling the whole distribution sucks [19:02] msk: oop sorry, that was somebody else! [19:03] anyone please can send me some links where i can find linux or ubuntu video tutorials ?? [19:03] G-ilgha: with good reason - personally I believe ext4 to be too bleeding edge for use in production systems [19:03] msk are you using a seagate drive over 750gb? [19:03] avegas: If you're harddrive is broken but the laptop is still under warranty... [19:03] rameshwo: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreenCasts [19:03] G-ilgha: Yes it does... [19:03] frostburn: 160gb seagate.. [19:04] Pici : thanks. [19:04] frostburn: 40gb for ubuntu, remaining for winne... [19:04] edbian_, yeah, I'm thinking that I'll call dell, annoying thing is that I bought the laptop so I'd be able to do some work on a month long road trip I'm starting friday [19:04] / and /boot are on the same partition on my computer [19:04] msk, yeah, i'd run the fsck, and contact customer support if it's still bad and get a replacement if it's under warranty [19:04] G-ilgha: I wouldn't worry about it yet. Like what fccf said. A lot of people don't think ext4 is up to par yet. === BeGu is now known as becksi [19:04] edbian_, have any idea as far as some good things I can read in order to figure out how to do some more diagnostic stuff on the laptop? [19:05] up to par? english isn't my mothertongue and I don't understand what you mean [19:05] frostburn: what is this "soft lock : cpu#0 stuck for 11s" ? [19:05] avegas: Have fun with dell!! The are going to want to remote control you computer (they always want to do that). I don't know how their tech support feels about linux. Although they do sell some laptops with ubuntu pre-installed. [19:05] hi [19:06] avegas: Not really. From what I hear broken harddrives are pretty much un-repair-able. What specifically is the problem? Can the system boot? [19:06] !hi | elham [19:06] elham: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [19:06] thanks alot [19:06] is there a tool which saves the eth0 data transfer as each session concludes? somethin like a multisession network-properties? [19:06] hello, I've tried two times to install ATI binary X.Org driver on my laptop, but both time after reboot the computer just freezes and doesn't show login screen. I have ATI Xpress 200m, does someone what is the problem? [19:06] msk, this code detects soft lockups: incidents in where on a CPU the kernel does not reschedule for 10 seconds or more [19:06] avegas, if you didnt buy the dell with ubuntu, they wont support ubuntu [19:06] I recently installed ubuntu on my vista home premium computer, i cannot get any sound , can anybody give me some info to correct the problem [19:07] and what about installing grub2 ? it supports ext4 [19:07] john__: did the sound worked on vista [19:07] ok, so I'm trying to install phpmyadmin on my Jaunty box. I have mysql-server-5.1 installed and it keeps trying to downgrade it - what gives? [19:07] edbian, was able to boot off the livecd, and after reinstalling Jaunty twice, I got it to reboot again, although once booted, strange things happened, such as firefox crashing and then silently refusing to start from gnome [19:07] frostburn: i am getting this softlock "bug" after a unsuccessful fsck... [19:07] edbian, which sounds maybe more like some bad RAM or something [19:08] yes it works good on vista [19:08] msk, you ran the force? [19:08] frostburn: no. [19:08] john__: wich sound card do you use [19:08] cabrey, do you think that they will try and refuse to support my hardware if I admit to having installed ubuntu? [19:08] msk, go do that and see if it still persists [19:09] avegas, most likely [19:09] frostburn: k. [19:09] !info mysql-server [19:09] mysql-server (source: mysql-dfsg-5.0): MySQL database server (metapackage depending on the latest version). In component main, is optional. Version 5.1.30really5.0.75-0ubuntu10.2 (jaunty), package size 55 kB, installed size 96 kB === Vobine is now known as Vobine_ [19:09] i dont know === Vobine_ is now known as Vobine [19:10] jwfoxjr: the supported version is technically 5.0 [19:10] There only eclipse 3.2 available in the repo ? [19:10] fccf: ok, but when I try to install 5.0 - I get errors, even when I completely remove 5.1 [19:10] cabrey, you think it's sensible to reinstall vista before chatting with them? [19:11] jwfoxjr, what errors [19:11] avegas, is it a hardware problem? [19:11] is there any people that installed "vidalia tor" on ubuntu 9.04? [19:11] frostburn: http://paste.ubuntu.com/191840/ [19:11] cabrey, I believe so though I'm not much of an expert in diagnosing such matters [19:12] frostburn: keeps talking about "Aborting downgrade from (at least) 5.1 to 5.0 [19:12] frostburn: i will do fsck with force option, thanks for suggestion.... [19:12] cabrey, any pointers on good tools/material to read to help with diagnosing my issues would be greatly appreciated [19:12] frostburn: this is after removing 5.1 and doing an autoremove [19:12] jwfoxjr: running 64 bit? - I think it had a bad download [19:12] avegas, tbh i'm not sure what they will do. if you call try to urge that it is a hardware issue [19:12] avegas: What exactly is the issue? Does the system not boot ubuntu from the harddrive? [19:12] avegas, worst comes to worst hang up. install vista, then call back [19:13] jwfoxjr, do you want 5.0 or 5.1? you may want to do an apt-get purge mysql-5.1 (idr the package name) [19:13] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI <- can I use those instructions for Hardy in Jaunty? [19:13] frostburn: I've done that and I still get the same errors when I try and put 5.0 on [19:13] jwfoxjr, you may also consider downloading the precompiled binary from sun, they use the intel compiler rather than gcc [19:13] edbian_ , cabrey I'll post a link to nopaste with a brief summary momentarily [19:13] How do I force another user to logout? [19:14] cporter, kill their session [19:14] cporter, kill their processes? === player1 is now known as Guest73224 [19:14] cporter: ctrl alt f1 and login and kill their process [19:14] cporter, man fuser === Guest73224 is now known as player1up [19:14] cabrey, yewk, fuser is faster [19:14] tx cabrey, i found what i was looking for [19:14] yewk, you dont need to go to a virtual tty [19:15] frostburn, thanks, noted [19:15] Does ubuntu (specifically, a recently updated&upgraded version of 9.04) have OpenGL installed by default [19:15] thanks for the heads up [19:15] Thanks, I'll just kill the gdm sessions [19:15] maxbaldwin, yes [19:15] is there anything, built in to ubuntu, or easily installable, to allow me to performance check my system? I just doubled up the memory on this old desktop, and am wondering if there is a quantitative way to see if it did any good. [19:16] maxbaldwin: yes (it's required to run Compiz for a start) [19:16] awesome! [19:16] Dracofodder: top or system>admin>systemmoniter [19:16] cabrey, LjL: Alright, then I know that's not the problem. Thanks! [19:16] Dracofodder, run an intensive program like a prime number finder [19:16] I just installed 9.04 - I am very impressed [19:16] Hello [19:16] hello [19:16] !hi | heleen [19:16] heleen: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [19:17] heleen: can we help you with something today?? [19:17] cabrey: that would work for the mem... but step two in my update process is to add a better videocard. would like to have one app to run, and check system. then do it again after the next update. [19:17] hello, is there any way to generate a debian package from an existing system? For example, I have a kernel installed on my system, and can display it using dpkg -l, but I would liket o generate a .deb package for that kernel to install on another machine. Is this possible? [19:17] fccf: I'll take a look thanks.! [19:17] is there any body that worked with tor? [19:17] heleen is learning ubunut via ssh [19:18] i showed her how to use putty on her xp [19:18] mweichert: 3 days ago there was an excellent class held by 'mvo' in #ubuntu-classroom - topic packaging -- you might want to check the log available @ ...

I had no idea there was such a channel [19:19] jwfoxjr, it looks like there's still a 5.0 and 5.1 package installed, do a $dpkg --get-selections|grep mysql [19:19] quick question about usage [19:19] i'm trying to get her to establish an tunneled vcn through her ssh connection to my second ubuntu tower [19:19] !channels [19:19] A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines [19:19] ubuntu seems to use hardly any ram, but tons of CPU usage [19:19] test message [19:19] !log [19:19] Official channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ - For LoCo channels, http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode/ [19:19] test succeeded [19:19] is ther eany way to make it use more ram and less cpu? [19:19] hello, is it safe to install mac4lin? thank you [19:20] !details | uskrewed [19:20] uskrewed: 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 ..." [19:20] uskrewed, cpu and ram are mutually exclusive, increasing usage of one has no impact of usage of the other, unless we're talking about paging to disk, but that's completely different [19:21] edbian_,cabrey http://nopaste.org/p/akoz2ldSd [19:21] or, anybody else with hw know how [19:22] frostburn: goign to give this another shot - looks like I may have purged the entire system finally! [19:22] It's just confusing me because my CPU usage is very high (I'm using system monitor) like always above 60% and mem usage is very low (like 130mb) but on windows cpu usage was hardly above 40% and mem was 400 [19:22] avegas, you'll want to follow the same suggestion i had for another gentlemen, run a fsck --force /dev/sda1 (or whatever your partition is) using a live cd, ubuntu, knoppix [19:22] anyone ? link to good visual linux tutorials.. [19:22] rameshwo: uhh ... youtube [19:23] avegas, that does sound like a hdd problem. tho i had a similar issue with i/o errors but the hdd wasnt actually going [19:23] cabrey, yeah sucks [19:23] youtube doesn't have good quality....and most of them do different things then their name shows.. [19:23] cabrey, maybe dell will let me just send them the hdd? [19:23] frostburn: ok - installed that time - must have been a library or something that didn't get removed - I just startted using 'purge' today... [19:24] is it possible to export firefox saved passwords and then import them in epiphany? [19:24] frostburn: much better than 'remove' [19:24] uskrewed, what process is using the cpu? run a $top then hit shift P [19:24] is there a channel to get help on OpenOffice Writer ? I want to know how to insert the "1/2" character into a document. [19:24] avegas, that might work, tell them your hdd died and would like to get a new one as per your warrantry but first try what frostburn suggested [19:24] Are there any internet browsers available for the ubuntu server? [19:24] ruadh, lynx, links2 [19:24] thanks [19:25] any good visual linux tutorial links ?? please..... [19:25] When I send multiple "ls" commands in a short amount of time or "ls" a directory with lots of files, to my ssh server, it drops internet connection. [19:25] Anyone use flexbuilder? [19:25] coreyman: that would be very offtopic here [19:26] And I have to reboot it in order to get connection to the internetz again. :( [19:26] cabrey,frostburn, sounds like a plan, thanks for your help [19:26] frostburn: atm I'm ripping a dvd, but I was talking in general. the things using my cpu are konversation (IRC) pidgin, ktorrent, and skype. Aside from that it's just general ubuntu OS programs [19:26] fccf and how do you figure? I have a question about something that has to do with ubuntu pertaining to my flexbuilder install [19:26] is it better to just use the lamp virtual package or install the individual lamp stack components? [19:26] uskrewed, you have to be specific [19:27] uskrewed, ripping a dvd should use all available cpu cycles [19:27] if you want your desktop to be more responsive, you'll want to renice your dvd ripping program [19:27] coreyman: the builder doesn't run in ubuntu [19:27] I know, I'm not complaining about it being high now, I realize ripping a dvd puts lots of load. I'm speaking generally, like with the PC idling. [19:27] anybody here using ubuntu on a macbook with an international keyboard layout? how did you get all the keys to work? [19:28] would you like me to past the processes in here once I've finished my dvdripping? [19:28] uskrewed, yep [19:28] okay [19:28] guys. please anyone can send me any old distros that they do not need now.. i need old ubuntu or others. coz i have little old computer ubuntu 2004/2005 would do [19:28] does anyone know of a fix for remote desktop on jaunty where the target computer doesn't refresh the screen? for example i click on a button, don't see anything, but if i disconnect and reconnect the action occured fine [19:28] be back in 3 hours then [19:29] frgr, you might want to check with the other ubuntu channels specific to the language you're using [19:29] tvoet_, vnc or rdp? [19:29] and what's the target os? [19:30] frostburn, i'm assuming VNC, it's the "Remote Desktop" bundled with ubuntu ( i'm going from Ubuntu Jaunty to Ubuntu Jaunty ) [19:30] tvoet_, yea thats VNC [19:30] tvoet_, that's vnc, is it on the same network segment, or over a wan? [19:30] tvoet_, honestly VNC sucks I would go with nx [19:30] frostburn, cabrey it's over ssh tunnel [19:30] will shipit ship me ubuntu of 2004\2005 ?? [19:31] cabrey nx? [19:31] i've had issues where vnc would have to send too much traffic and the connection would just crap out and i'd need to reconnect, i'm sure there's some buffer you can increase/decrease to tune performance [19:31] !nx [19:31] FreeNX is advanced remote desktop technology. For more information and install instructions, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX [19:31] tvoet_, even better, nx uses ssh natively [19:31] how do I use ssh with a key that does not have a pass phrase? [19:31] cabrey: please don't diss VNC .. it works very well for me .. I can sit at starbucks all day and access my server [19:31] gives permission denied when I enter a blank pass phrase [19:31] fccf, I get horrible lag even on the same LAN [19:32] does nx support other clients than linux, i occasionnally access it from a windows box [19:32] tvoet_: yes [19:32] tvoet_, yes, linux os x solaris windows etc [19:32] tehwaffles, you'll need to provide the correct pass phrase or buy a timeslice on a cluster to crack it =] [19:32] they my next question might be stupid, but why isn't the default in Jaunty nx? [19:32] cabrey: I live in a place where 3mbit connections are commonplace so lagging is not an issue [19:32] frostburn: I use the key with putty on windows and have never entered a passphrase iirc [19:32] fccf, I cannot find out how to do exactly what I need to do. The classroom talks about building a .deb package from sources... however, I want to build a debian packages from the dpkg database [19:32] tvoet_: the windows client isn't open source, afaik [19:32] rameshwo: I believe they only send 9.04 CDs. [19:33] fccf, no matter how much bandwidth i give it, it still lags [19:33] tvoet_, no idea tbh [19:33] ozzmosis, is anything on windows ever open source? [19:33] tbh? [19:33] gdm crashed so I restarted my computer, and now user switching is gone from the quit applet... [19:33] fccf, maybe this isn't possible? [19:33] tvoet_: quite a lot these days actualy [19:33] Pici ; i feel the same but i would be more happy in getting old distros.. [19:33] does anyone know how to build firefox with debug symbols turned on, the apt-get sources way.i want to trace my crash to the sources it was built with [19:33] l [19:33] cabrey tbh? [19:33] tvoet_, to be honest [19:33] cabrey: funny, I am using UltraVNC on a windows xp client ... works really well [19:33] cabrey thanks [19:33] can i get some good people who can send their old cds to me ?? [19:33] Anyone know how to get the quit applet to show switch user again? [19:33] rameshwo: what for? (not that I have any) [19:34] rameshwo: why do you want people's old cd [19:34] s [19:34] rameshwo, you can d/l 8.04 [19:34] rameshwo: There are only bad people here :) [19:34] ozzmosis: pici : i have old computer so .. 9.04 runs pretty slow...in my 256 mb ram and 735 mhz.. [19:34] Has anyone had any success installing Ubuntu on a computer with an ATi 9600 card? [19:34] nocleader: no . you're wrong.... [19:35] rameshwo, request a 9.04 cd, then install xubuntu-desktop [19:35] cporter: i think if you lock-screen you can switch from the lock screen [19:35] nlindblad, use the open source drivers, its listed as working [19:35] rameshwo: you can still download ISOs of the older versions. xubuntu-desktop might be worth a look. 9.04 runs alright on an Asus 850 MHz laptop I have here. 256 MB RAM. [19:35] ozzmosis : cabrey : the problem.is . i have dial_up internet.. takes hours n hours .... [19:36] i would be happy if shipit would ship xubuntu for me.. [19:36] fccf, I guess that will work... [19:36] rameshwo, hmm borrow somebody else's connection? [19:36] rameshwo: the older versions won't be any faster [19:36] is cheapbytes.com still around?

[19:38] fccf: i'm a student i don't have such cards to pay . otherwise i would do it.. [19:38] Why do I have to be root to access /dev/raw1394 ? [19:38] where is edu.np? Nepal? hmm. [19:38] i know cabrec, what is typical encoding time for = VOB 700mb file to Divx (Hardware amd 6000 8gb ram) it is taking 15mins surely it should be much quicker? [19:38] pro-rsoft, that's not userspace [19:39] yes NEPAL...... [19:39] i eexpect well under 5 minutes? [19:39] JockyWilson, what encoder? [19:39] ozzmosis nEPAL.. [19:39] frostburn, well I'd like to be able to get videos from my camera without having to run as root [19:39] rameshwo: ok :) [19:39] * pro-rsoft uses "kino" btw [19:39] pro-rsoft: are you using dvgrab? [19:39] JockyWilson: the encoder may only be using a single core [19:40] fccf, no idea, I just used kino [19:40] eist [19:40] \q [19:40] i thought about 2 minutes max was pushing it [19:40] pro-rsoft: if you install dvgrab and use it from the command line - it will output compliant mpeg [19:40] rameshwo: you might want to join the Nepal Team and see if one of the other members can help you - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NepalTeam [19:40] i recently installed ubuntu along side my windows vista home premium operating system, the only problem i have right now is, i cannot get any sound, my sound card is a SOUND MAX INTEGRATED DIGITAL HD > can anyone help me [19:41] JockyWilson, what encoder? and 700mb of mpeg2 video -> divx is still a lot of data to crunch through.... [19:41] pro-rsoft, then use hald the way it's supposed to be used [19:41] mneptok : many thanks. i didn't know .. [19:41] Guest14225: do you know if Ubuntu supports it? [19:41] no [19:41] i dont know [19:41] w8 a sec [19:42] I've got an issue with dual monitors and gaming, and I'm trying to understand metamodes but it won't seem to work. Anyone have any insight on what I'm doing wrong? [19:42] how come dvdshrink can analyse and encode 7gb in under 10 minutes? [19:42] Guest14225: it's possible it doesn't. I'd google but I don't have access to a browser at the moment. [19:42] fccf: , cabrey: I think I found what I need.. your suggestions are ok for live checking of stats, but I found an app called "Hardinfo". I'm still working through its reports, but appears to have what I need to verify objectively if the changes I'm making are doing any real good. [19:42] thats typical time i can rip dvd [19:42] how can i find that out [19:42] i need help [19:42] kopetet [19:42] and divx cant encode 700mb vob file in under 15 miuntes? [19:42] JockyWilson: dvdshrink isn't really reencoding, just dropping mpeg2 data at certain intervals [19:43] hi, what package do i need for ubuntu to be able to do build from tgz source code? [19:43] !ask | glagios [19:43] JockyWilson, ripping a dvd is much different from encoding [19:43] glagios: 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. :-) [19:43] how many gigs of memory can ubuntu 9.04 server 64bit see? [19:43] JockyWilson, and please tell us the encoder you are using [19:43] magyar_, build-essential [19:43] magyar, build-essenteial [19:43] meh [19:43] where can i download the entire 8.04 repo? [19:43] frostburn wins [19:43] i need an italian mirror [19:43] Treyh: all of them [19:43] dayo, rsync [19:43] fccf, thanks [19:43] Treyh, the limit is higher than most commercial motherboards =p [19:43] !mirror [19:43] Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors - PLEASE use the !torrents to download Jaunty, and help keeping the servers' load low! [19:43] The Live-CD goes into a display mode the graphic card supports but the monitor doesn't [19:43] frostburn, I don't know about "hald" [19:44] frostburn, does it include "Tcl/Tk 8.4, a C++ compiler" [19:44] pro-rsoft: did dvgrab work? [19:44] i am using Total Video Converter to convert vob to divx [19:44] pro-rsoft, what kind of device are you trying to retrieve images from? [19:44] frostburn, a digital camcorder [19:44] i can't record with audacity when using logitech desktop mic. anyone using this mic? [19:44] cabrey: yeah, but i'm probably going to have to put a url as argument to the rsync? ;-) [19:44] JockyWilson: is that under Ubuntu? I haven't heard of that [19:44] frostburn, if I run kino as root it works [19:44] JockyWilson, that is a windows based program [19:44] frostburn, so 8 gigs on a dell power edge server wouldn't max it otu? [19:44] fccf, dvgrab also requires root rights [19:45] Treyh: 8 GB is fine for 64-bit [19:45] magyar_, gcc can compile most anything under the sun [19:45] no it is in windows, linux video encoding is a nightmare just to buggy from experience [19:45] Treyh, no, we have boxes with over 128gb [19:45] JockyWilson, so you are using windows software in ubuntu and wonder why it is slow? === DIFH-iceroot is now known as iceroot [19:46] frostburn: what do you do with all that memory? :) [19:46] ozzmosis, database [19:46] frostburn, gcc is part of build-essential? [19:46] frostburn: ah :) [19:46] cabrey, trying to setup FreeNx, and getting weird issues, could not connect to NX server [19:46] i have several OS on harddrive multiboot [19:46] magyar_: gcc is one of build-essential's dependencies [19:46] i can ssh normally both public key and not. [19:47] always return to windows for video encoding [19:47] hmm, i see g++ no gcc [19:47] JockyWilson: I use mencoder for video encoding. dvd -> xvid. [19:47] tvoet_, nx uses its own ssh username & keys, then it su's to the user you want [19:47] first time i try to encode to divx and it is a pig, slow ashell [19:48] JockyWilson, what software is slow? total video converter? [19:48] I cant install updates with my update manager [19:48] can i get some help? [19:48] Never mind. I'll just add chmod rules. [19:48] !details | s0101 [19:48] s0101: 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 ..." [19:48] magyar_, yes [19:49] Can I force a refresh rate on the Live-CD? [19:49] JockyWilson: I have done quite a bit of encoding with dvd::rip .. yes it is slow... you are encoding video -- mulitpass --- gunna take time... [19:49] nlindblad: I think so [19:49] #ubuntu [19:49] s0101, what's the error? [19:49] ozzmosis: How? Can't find the correct flags [19:49] I see the window with the updates but when i press install nothing happends [19:49] not the software the encoding time for a 700mb vob file is a joke 15mins+ [19:49] belive me i am not stupid this is not my first update ;) [19:49] cabrey, nice i just got locked out of my machine. everytime i try to login, i get a too many authentication failures [19:49] JockyWilson, what software were you using that was taking 15 minutes? [19:50] it suddenly [19:50] happen [19:50] TotalVideoiConverter [19:50] tvoet_, what do you mean? you got locked out from the server machine? [19:50] s0101, can you run the update manually, sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get upgrade [19:50] nlindblad: flags? whereabouts? you can set the refresh rate in the display settings from inside GNOME. [19:50] JockyWilson: I don't know of software in linux that would do that -- even on new hardware --- TotalVideoConverter is not supported here [19:50] everytime i do that i get that window with update manager [19:51] cabrey, meaning i was SSH'ed into the machine when i tried to run the setup, and when i restarted the SSH process, i can't login anymore ( with any of the account si have on the machine ) [19:51] JockyWilson, we can't help you with that. it is windows software running under wine I'm assuming [19:51] omg [19:51] is there a simple (fast) vob to divx converter in linux? [19:51] JockyWilson, handbrake [19:51] you right i cant do that from the terminal [19:51] !enter | s0101 [19:51] s0101: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [19:51] i could before [19:51] or vob to xvid in linux? [19:52] cabrey, it royally messed up my SSH, no way in anymore. have to wait to get home to try and UNDO from the actual console. even my gitosis setup got fried [19:52] s0101, ps -ef|grep synaptic [19:52] ozzmosis: The Live-CD won't start properly [19:52] ya qlq1 ki parle francaisd ici [19:52] JockyWilson: you would want to do it from the command line ... and that you will have to learn... as in teach yourself [19:52] !fr | hafid [19:52] hafid: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr [19:53] tvoet_, that doesnt make any sense. nx should use the existing ssh service [19:53] ozzmosis: Even with "safe graphics mode" it will go blank and the monitor states that the input is "out of range" [19:53] JockyWilson: mencoder is pretty simple once you understand how to use it. [19:53] wierd now it works i had this problem for a week but now i only get 14 mb of 147 mb [19:53] ozzmosis: I need to configure the graphics manually before the live-cd starts [19:53] hi [19:53] cabrey, but like you said it inserts itself into the process, so now none of my users can login that way. [19:53] so how to save like (windows) batch file on ubuntu [19:53] hello.. I am new. I cannot download anything by clicking on the community documentation links. i have done the apturl config thing, but I ALWAYS get the " could not find package '....' " dialogue box!! do you guys know why is that? [19:53] nlindblad: ah, I see. I'm sure there's a workaround for that but I don't know what it is, sorry :) [19:53] cabrey, the service is still there, but i can't ssh into any of my user accounts [19:54] newUbux, do a sudo apt-get update to get an update repository === ben is now known as Guest53969 === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [19:54] tvoet_, no what it does is create a nx user and the client logs in through that, but it shouldnt mess with anything [19:54] IM currently formating a USB drive with ext3 ist this a good idea ? [19:54] ok [19:55] sim-value: not if you want to see the files on it under Windows [19:55] cabrey, ok, but it did. i will check when i get home. [19:55] sim-value: very good idea if you only use it on linux boxes [19:55] Hi All, when I ssh into a box on my local network and send the "ls" command multiple times (basically hammering), the ssh server's internet connection drops. I have to manually reboot the box to revive internet. Has anyone witnessed something like this before?

The server still runs fine. Just drops internet. [19:58] lakedenman: ah. anything in the logs? [19:58] i did the sudo update thing, should I install all the updates? [19:59] lakedenman: you could try restarting the ssh server, then restarting the network interfaces .. narrows it down slightly, I suppose... [19:59] velcroshooz: the name of the package you are looking for is grabc [19:59] why do i still get so many updates? i thought 9.0 is the new version [20:00] newUbux: unless you have a good reason not to, generally yes [20:00] newUbux: they are security updates [20:00] fccf: thank you [20:01] velcroshooz: np [20:01] newUbux: for example Firefox 3.0.9 (??) was supplied on the Ubuntu 9.04 CD, but Firefox 3.0.10 has since been released, a security update... [20:01] newUbux: Ubuntu only does security updates, unlike other distros [20:01] (??) = or maybe 3.0.8, I don't recall [20:04] i have 3.0.8 right now [20:04] ok [20:05] let's c if it works now [20:06] oh, yeah, it does [20:06] thank you. and linux rocks!!

This is a new problem that appeared to me since a week or so. Any ideas? [20:27] hi, how would I run the ubuntu ISO from vmware player? [20:27] Quick question.... dont remember it offhand but what is the command to remove a package I didnt want to install? [20:27] how do I repair an apt-get error on libc6? [20:28] Siesta: in ubuntu or windows [20:28] I did not do so through the package manager and I cant seem to do so by the gui [20:28] in windows [20:28] ubuntu [20:28] sudo iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -d 192.168.96.1 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 37 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.1.31 [20:28] really, I should ask the question to everyone more generally. I had a working Tivo connection to my vmware XP client in my Ubuntu64 server. Then I started using a wireless card instead of eth cable. So vmware no longer lets me bridge eth connections with wireless devices, so I had to start using NAT, and now XP can't see the Tivo box. So my idea is to forward the tivo ports to/from the internal NAT. [20:28] Elda: how did you install it? [20:28] 9.04 from a usb [20:28] anyone running ubuntu on a macbook pro? [20:28] double clicked it [20:28] was an rpm [20:28] the only thing I get is to reinstall it when I do that though [20:28] Elda: then go to synaptic and remove it [20:28] I cant find it in there [20:28] siesta: vmware has prebuilt virtual applications available -easier than fresh install in vmware [20:28] trying to remove acetone as I installed the wrong version [20:29] but its not in there [20:29] !enter | Elda [20:29] Elda: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!

I need to forward traffic from the wireless nic to the internal network that vmware forced me to set up. and vice-versa. [20:32] frostburn: acer aspire one, the password field goes insane, it thinks im holding down the underscore button. its the only area/prog that does that [20:32] so Tivo is 192.168.1.10, wireless nic is 192.168.1.31.

The combination Alt+SysRq+K can also be used to obtain a similar effect. [21:27] tunnlrat: That's ok! Linux is more fun. It probably would have take you even longer to do it in windows. I am going to walk you through the command I will give you 1 piece at a time. The first piece is "sudo" this give you root power. The second is "chown" which stands for change owner. Every file in the linux filesystem has an owner. Then "your username" you put your username here. When the command is done you will be the new owner. Then lastly [21:27] the file /disk. You can use a relative name since you are already in that folder. [21:27] tunnlrat: The whole thing put together is: sudo chown tunnlrat /disk [21:27] tunnlrat: Alternatively sudo chown tunnlrat /media/disk (both work the same) [21:28] ricardol: I haven't got an 8.10 system here.. what do you get if you run "apt-cache search zlib1" ? [21:28] edbian: yeah that was a nice way to do it :) by explaining to them what the command means [21:28] sebsebseb: Thanks :) [21:28] edbian: instead of just giving the command [21:28] so why am i not able to login?

[21:29] sorry [21:30] ricardol: and if you run "sudo apt-get install zlib1g" what does it say? don't paste it here though [21:30] edbian: the only thing showing on the drive is a folder called lost+found i wanted to wipe it clean and start from scratch when i used gparted to format it [21:30] Slart: programmer's calculator. didn't show up in apt-cache search [21:30] when i go into a tty screen, it can't find irssi or vim [21:30] or 'ls' [21:30] just common methods for using the cli [21:30] Slart: where you using apt-cache or a web interface somewhere? (if so, where? :)) [21:30] tunnlrat: That lost + found folder is part of the ext3 filesystem. It must be there. It is used when the system crashes. It places the running data in there to recover from. [21:31] slart: it is installed [21:31] so i'm guessing my PATH is wrong [21:31] tunnlrat: I was going to tell you to add the -R flag which stands for recursive and would have changed the owner of /media/disk and all of the files inside /media/disk. But there are no files in there so the point is moot. [21:31] bc: I used this new website.. hang on.. let me check the url.. oh.. it's www.google.com ;) [21:31] Slart: lol! [21:31] I'm trying to enable my graphics card driver, but when I install it from hardware drivers and use sudo nvidia-settings, it says that i have to use "sudo nvidia-xconfig", but when i do that and try the nvidia-settings again, I always get the same error.

Thank you! :D [21:33] edbian: does it matter if i change the group, its listed as being part of the root group should i change that to tunnlrat as well?? [21:33] bc: nope..

This gives a little clearer idea of the permissions policy. === rachel is now known as Guest12712 [21:35] yes, i just saw that, i am downlading it now [21:35] ricardol: the dev package contains headers and so on.. the normal package is just the binaries.. usually when you compile something and it complains about something you need the -dev package [21:35] edbian: yes thats how i figured out it was owned by root in the first place lol i just couldn't figure out how to change that, now for question number two.

Im supposed to do this: "We now need to edit our /etc/fstab file and add  user_xattr  to the options for the partition containing the CalDAV server, / in this case:  vim /etc/fstab " but how do I do it? [21:41] tunnlrat: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab [21:41] is it my PATH? [21:41] because tty screens can't use sudo [21:41] okay, it my system seems to be auto-writing certain files (of a particular size) into "zipped" folders [21:41] tunnlrat: I will look at mine and walk you through it hang on one sec [21:41] or ls [21:41] Eroick: hmm.. well.. trust the forums then.. unless the posts are about older versions of ubuntu [21:42] .gz to be exact [21:42] <``y7> is there somebody on here that is a pro with networking that i can pay via paypal to help me get my system working? [21:42] i don't want that to be the case [21:42] oldskooo, that is an archiving format [21:42] Slart: they're about 9.04, but its all over the place. some say it works, others say it doesn't. [21:42] oldskooo, how are you archiving files/folders? [21:42] tunnlrat: Uhh... I can't because I'm running a liveCD so my fstab is a joke compared to yours. Anyway be specific and ask questions. I have edited /etc/fstab many times before. [21:43] Eroick: hmm.. well.. I'm sorry I can't be more helpful with this.. [21:43] i have a program that just auto creates files, on my other linux systems in the past it didn't archive them [21:43] is there a setting somewhere that I can turn this auto feature off [21:43] Slart: that's alright, it seems sort of helpless... :(. maybe I'll end up going mac. [21:43] oldskooo, what program? [21:43] AFNI [21:43] ``y7: I'm pretty sure canonical has paid support options on the ubuntu site somewhere [21:43] and FSL [21:43] it just seems to be happing everywhere [21:44] edbian: alright i think i should be okay the drive just doesn't auto mount and show up on the desktop but i can live with that it shows up when i go down to places and that brings it up onto the desktop for access [21:44] oldskooo, what is the full file extension of the final archive? [21:44] tunnlrat: Are you sure you want to give up? I am very confident that we can get it to auto-mount for you. [21:45] tunnlrat, you want it to automount in nautilus? [21:45] tunnlrat, i think there is a setting for that [21:45] well AFNI makes .BRIK normally (my files are like 50mb) and it is archiving this into .BRIK.gz === halberd is now known as Guest82026 [21:45] cabrey: yeah that is where i would be looking to have it auto mount, though at this point in time unlike windows i only reset the computer maybe once a month [21:45] Hi peeps - anyone know how to install Skype on ubuntu ?

[22:36] Donnie: you use pidgin or kopete to chat, no need for msn on buntu [22:36] fccf: ya [22:36] <``y7> i just added a new nic to my ubuntu system, should it show up under eth2? or would it show up under "eth0:avahi"? [22:37] err [22:37] drurew, you need msn for ubuntu [22:37] Donnie: sudo = "run this as root", apt-get is the package manager.. ie the thing that installs stuff for you.. install = command we send to the package manager.. amsn = the package name we want to install [22:37] go to system>admin>partitioneditor ... to see how your drives are layed out [22:37] i have installed perl in my ubuntu...how can i go in the directory? my directory is /root/usr/perl [22:37] drurew, offline messaging and video calls that asllow you to see [22:37] zomg [22:37] :O [22:37] God_Of_War, /root?

[22:38] Donnie: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:38] :D [22:38] drurew: I think I'll ignore that [22:38] donnie, sudo gives you admin privileges on you entire filesystem. Apt-get downloads the file in question to your system [22:38] God_Of_War: perl should work in any terminal [22:38] be careful with sudo...you can break things with it :) [22:38] <[nrx_]> !compiz [22:38] Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz [22:38] <``y7> is this the correct way to setup 3 nics, 2 being static internal ips and one being external dhcp: http://www.grabup.com/uploads/98000922061520093717E738D802.png?direct ????

The combination Alt+SysRq+K can also be used to obtain a similar effect. [22:41] hai [22:41] bewby: a-ha. Did you have ubuntu related questions or problems? [22:41] any1 here work for canonical?

[22:42] ZachD: probably? [22:42] i wonder h asl inux improved on msn more than the windows version? I think so [22:42] liamo1, replace stop with start and it will restart again [22:42] !ask | unknown6 [22:42] unknown6: 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. :-) [22:42] ZachD: if they do they probably won't tell you so [22:42] sorry for being impatient earlier, my friend was here and i wanted this computer fixed so i could show him a few things, he's gone now. so i have time, but not much... anyone know what's going on. why isn't ls, cd, apt-get or any commands working, including my window managers [22:42] Thanks you read my mind [22:42] how can i change the dns on Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Server [22:42] liamo1, good luck [22:42] oh [22:43] ZachD: Do you have a ubuntu related support question?

[22:43] unknown6: /etc/resolv.conf .. check the man page for the dhcp client if you're using dhcp.. it will rewrite that file [22:43] ``y7: why do you need to remove it? [22:43] <``y7> lstarnes, because it's in the way [22:43] unknown6: sudo vi /etc/resolv.conf [22:43] ``y7: what do you mean by that?
