[00:00] thanks kitche [00:00] !info ld [00:00] Package ld does not exist in jaunty [00:00] hey guys im doing dual boot. how do i access ubuntu files on vista ? where is it ? [00:00] sudo modprobe -r rt2860sta says it's in use [00:00] !usb | orudie [00:00] orudie: 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 [00:00] FCCF I run the nvidia-settings. The display resolution that I want is not available. It is not detecting the monitor properly [00:01] yaris, you've gotta install an app to make ext3 (or whatever format you used) accessible from windows, as typically windows doesn't support anything but itself. [00:01] Oven1: are you running nvidia-settings as root? [00:01] dasei - should i add it to my blacklist and reboot and see what happens? [00:01] greg__: nice , so use that to blacklist [00:01] maxbaldwin: thx man that looks like something I was searching, does it compile C++ [00:01] ok [00:01] I ran Sudo [00:01] right done that so away to go restart [00:01] greg__: yup [00:01] explore2fs has always worked well for me. [00:01] Oven1: there is a custom binary being used by xrandr ... I am not sure how this is working ....

[00:02] ok thx [00:02] onyx: g++ actually does the compiling, but many IDEs use g++ for compiling c++ code [00:02] Where do you see that? [00:02] is dropbox in the ubuntu repos? [00:02] !dropbox [00:02] Sorry, I don't know anything about dropbox [00:02] Oven1: sorry. that is commented .. line 30 [00:02] brummbaer: thx [00:03] Oh yeah.. That was me. I was trying something [00:03] is install dropbox from here safe? http://www.getdropbox.com/downloading?os=lnx [00:03] I manually changed my EDID file with a hex editor. It did not work [00:03] Crybaby: that should work ... just get the right version [00:04] fccf: thanks [00:04] It is all coming down to my monitor being detected incorrectly. If I could tell it the correct monitor or pass it the correct settings then I would be OK. The EDID stuff I changed is documented here: http://blog.freshnewpage.com/2008/04/26/nvidia-geforce4-420-go-on-ubuntu-804-hardy-heron/#comment-406 [00:04] yaris, anytime. classic windows behaviour. bet you've got no prob accessing the win partition from Ubuntu though right? [00:04] hey whats the command (ether to append to fstab or chmod,etc) to change the ownership of a ext3 partition? [00:04] Oven1: reccommend installing nvidia-glx-new & ubuntu-restricted-extras [00:05] brummbaer: correct. [00:05] brummbaer: i want to give ubuntu more hd space. i tried gparted. however, i cannt resize any partition [00:05] I will give that a try. I need to run. Thanks for the help FCCF. I will let you know how it goes. [00:05] how can I add a user to the system that only have terminal access (no graphical session) and some limitations on home folder? [00:05] Oven1: then re-running sudo nvidia-settings [00:05] lstarnes: yeah tried g++ in terminal but I need the app in few hours so don't have the time to look around how it works xD [00:05] Oven1: later - btw - I am here alot [00:06] yaris, gparted doesn't currently support resizing LVM, this'll probably have to be done by hand. === hax0r is now known as SecMonk [00:06] there's some great tutorials online. [00:06] how can I add a user to the system that only have terminal access (no graphical session) and some limitations on home folder? [00:07] yaris, you should be able to resize the win partition using gparted, but expanding the ubuntu partition won't go through gparted.

[00:36] sam555: no.. you can only do that using the "alternate" cd [00:36] !upgrade | sam555 [00:36] sam555: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [00:36] !kick me [00:36] Sorry, I don't know anything about kick me [00:36] Paddy_EIRE: thanks [00:37] sam555: no probs [00:37] !botabuse | bones_ [00:37] bones_: Please investigate with me only with "/msg ubottu Bot" or in #ubuntu-bots. Search for factoids with "/msg ubottu !search factoid". [00:37] sam555: You can also upgrade through the internet, of course. But the only CD method is the alternate/server CD (or DVD, although that seems like overkill) [00:38] Flannel: I'm currently upgrading via the internet, but it was taking a it bit and I have another computer to upgrade [00:38] Flannel: true.. I was wondering if there was a mixed architecture installation dvd yet.. with both x86 and x86_64? [00:40] Paddy_EIRE: Not that I'm aware of no. [00:40] Okay.. Must have a google about [00:41] sam555: with a few computers on a home network, you might be better off (if one's always on, especially) setting up a cache of packages. So you only download them from the internet once, then the other computers grab them from that computer. [00:41] Paddy_EIRE: don't think so. i think this exists for debian so far.. [00:41] Flannel: is it possible to do that right now if I've already started the process with one? [00:41] ^only [00:42] Piet: ah I see.. thanks [00:42] sam555: You could stop the process. If it's just downloading packgaes, it won't hurt anything. [00:43] Paddy_EIRE: but it basically comes down to the same thing in terms of data to download. you download all packages twice. [00:43] Flannel: or should i download the alt cd for 8.10 and 9.04? [00:43] Flannel: currently I'm in the processes of upgrading from 8.04 to 8.10 and it's going from 1 to 10 hours as far as when it will be completed [00:43] sam555: Actually, this howto says we can copy them to the cache after the fact. So, I suppose you don't have to stop it at all. [00:43] Flannel: oooh, show me the link! [00:44] Flannel: that sounds interesting.. can I see that howto? [00:44] sam555: http://www.debuntu.org/how-to-set-up-a-repository-cache-with-apt-cacher [00:44] cool [00:44] Apparently apt-cacher has a migration tool [00:45] yes, use apt-cache or squid, the other proxies are not recommandable [00:45] i'm wondering if I should then download the alt iso for 9.04 after this process [00:45] apt-cacheR [00:45] hi. [00:45] sam555: It won't save you any bandwidth (it'll actually use a bit more) [00:46] Flannel: aww [00:46] !hi |Ketreva [00:46] Ketreva: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [00:46] sam555: the only benefit is if you go around to multiple computers with it, and if you set up the cacher, that's moot. [00:46] I need help with wicd? [00:46] Flannel: indeed [00:46] sam555: the issue with the alternate CD (well, not an issue, just the way it works) is that it's the packages that were released with 9.04. So all the updates afterwards still have to be downloaded. When upgrading from the internet, you're already downloading those updates. [00:46] My mouse and keyboard are not working in GDM. Any suggestions? [00:47] Ketreva: please explain whats going on ... all on one line .. so we can think about your problem [00:47] Ketreva: are you asking us whether you need help with wicd? [00:47] Flannel: so do a network install [00:47] Flannel: i see [00:47] #trois-rivieres [00:47] sam555: Also, the alternate CD has lots of packages in its repository you may not use. Your upgrade only may use 400MB or packages (or whatever), but it may have 100MB of stuff that isn't on the Alt CD. [00:47] i cant connect to wifi, well i can steal my neighbors open wifi connection but i cant connect to my secured connection. [00:47] linxeh: Not installing, upgrading. [00:48] oh my bad [00:48] Flannel: gotcha [00:48] I should learn to read properly [00:48] Ketreva: what type of encryption are you using on your router? [00:48] sam555: So you'd still be downloading 700 + 100, instead of 300+100 (I really don't know what the numbers are) [00:48] wpa [00:49] @Gustavo: If mouse does not work on GDM, that indicate X server did not detect the mouse... [00:49] Hey guys can I use ddr2 1066 ram on a motherboard that supports up to ddr2 800? will it work fine, just that at 800 speeds? Thanks [00:49] Ketreva: wpa is in it's infancy on ubuntu -- you might try using a WEP key [00:50] @ralmar: you will get your PC hang up... [00:50] kartawirya, I tried messing with the xorg.conf file ... If I do a dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg , it removes any reference to a mouse input device (supposedly, HAL is supposed to take care of this?) [00:50] hi. which program do i use to burn .img file in vista 64 ? [00:50] fccf: wpa isn't well supported? WEP is almost totally insecure, that would kind of defeat the purpose :> [00:51] I didn't realize that wireless in Ubuntu was still -that- far behind, I was hoping to use it on my laptop [00:51] orudie: what does that have to do with ubuntu, please? [00:51] jimcooncat, ubuntu-9.04-netbook-remix-i386.img [00:51] Flannel: but i understand [00:51] Flannel: i'm gonna set up the repository [00:52] @Gustavo: restart you Linux, go to single user mode and choose the option like "try to fix X server" [00:52] I booted the kernel in "recovery mode" and tried that to no avail. [00:53] @orudie: You should get "Nero" CD burner version 6 or later... === cabrey_ is now known as cabrey [00:53] Anyone have any idea why ubuntu hangs whenever an "Open File..." dialog comes up?

[00:54] orudie: the Win32 Disk imager doesn't do it under win64? [00:54] @Jutman: sorry if this is just a possibility that your root partition may contain error... [00:55] orudie: http://www.imgburn.com/ ? [00:55] and on an unrelated note can someone help me with kmouth? i type stuff in, but it doesnt say them. [00:55] @ kartawirya -- possibly. but it doesn't do it until about an hour after a reboot. [00:56] just started disk imager 32 using vista 64, it gives error at start but it seems to work [00:56] burning to flash drive right now [00:56] 5.5 mb/ s [00:56] hey i'm on a lenovo x61t with ubuntu 9.04 is there a way to really shut bluetooth off except doing it in the bios= [00:56] i hope i can install from flash drive on my old computer [00:57] I installed the netbook remix meta package for testing in my laptop, and now every application I open starts maximized, even on a new test account. How can I revert this? [00:57] @Jutman: that is... error on EXT2/3/4 linux often raise with such indication... [00:57] can someone help me configure a static ip address on ubuntu server, I have edited the interface config file, but I don't know what values to put in for "gateway" and "network," also, i see talk of name servers, but i don't know how to determin the ip address of my name server. [00:57] In bios i see an option 'Bootable Add-in Cards" is does that reffer to USB flash drive or no ? [00:58] kartawirya-- ok. I'm running ext3, I'll have to do an fsck. I had an idea it might be that, but I was not sure. [00:58] orudie: probably... you will need to safely remove and see if it boots [00:59] orudie: if that doesn't work, maybe you can netboot it. That takes a good amount of setup, but if you're doing 3 or 4 computers it's worth it. Don't know particulars about netbooks, but I hope it works as I'll be getting one soon. [00:59] @Jutman: do am I Jutman, just try and good luck... [00:59] buttons840: run 'sudo ifconfig', it will tell you about the gateway, and that can be used to determine the network. [00:59] here it comes .... [00:59] thanks kartawirya , I'm gonna check that right now. I'll be back :P [00:59] yes !!!! [00:59] buttons840: to determine the nameserver, run: cat /etc/resolve.conf [01:00] orudie: success?

[01:01] congrats orudie [01:01] brianski: they use different drivers ... he doesn't have a cdrom in the desktop [01:01] hello [01:01] Piet, ifconfig says nothing about gateway [01:01] @bianski: Totem do seem uses to many system resources until sometime that is hang up...

[01:02] is there an easy way to add an external second monitor to my laptop? [01:02] which is handy because it installs ubuntu-desktop instead of the ubuntu netbook remix gui (which i detest, i have ubuntu-desktop on a lpia netbook) [01:02] tag: are you running 64 bit [01:02] any idea why my <> and §½ have changed places? [01:02] tag: cat /proc/cpuinfo ? [01:02] on keyboard I mean [01:02] CleanLaundry: do you have video out? [01:02] fccf: no [01:03] buttons840: you'Re right, do this: sudo route -n [01:03] or what fccf is about to say :) [01:03] no no, sorry, ACTUALLY I want to use my laptop screen AS the second monitor for my desktop. brianski [01:03] fccf: do I need to run 64 bit for an 8 core machine? [01:03] buttons840: the entry which follows the 0.0.0.0 is your gateway [01:03] nice, i wish i had a static ip [01:03] CleanLaundry: ah! i think there is some proprietary software that does that [01:03] tag: run 64bit to allow you to use the power of your 8 processors together [01:04] Crap [01:04] it also works on linux/mac/ubuntu. just can't remember the name or if it's free as in beer or not [01:04] but not everything works on 64 bit :-/ [01:04] brianski, hmm, really? I was hoping there would be some open source alternatives [01:04] Piet, it is the address of my router, is a router a gateway i suppose? [01:04] tag, you'll want it if you run more than 3 Gib memory anyway [01:04] tag: what doesn't wqork on 64 bit? [01:04] tag: true .. you might consider using the 8.04 version .. a little more mature [01:04] buttons840: yup [01:04] Piet, what value will i put in "network" [01:04] I fear I may have done something to mess up the HAL or X server in Ubuntu in order to try to fix my mouse and keyboard in GDM.

[01:05] please help me set up my nvidia geforce 8m graphics card my repo is telling me there isnt a kernel that supports the driver. maybe they are diffrent repos i can add to my system [01:05] buttons840: i think it's optional. i'd normally prefer to put a netmask instead.

[01:07] 70% [01:07] @Gustavo: if HAL was brooken, the first think I do is abaout reinstall it... === max_ is now known as MaxJez-U [01:07] I suppose for now I could live with the 4 core setup, it's not exactly slow. ;-) [01:07] seems really lame though [01:07] brianski, also, I have a Mini KVM Switch [01:07] hate it when people don't stick around for an answer [01:07] ``y7: yeah it sounds like your driver doesn't like that mtu [01:07] tag, how did you get 8 cores? [01:07] buttons840: using a static networking setup can be problematic if the ISP changes things out of the sudden, and you can't access the internet to learn what has been changed. [01:07] not all gigE cards support jumbo frames [01:08] kartawirya, any pointers as to how I would do that? [01:08] <``y7> brianski: how do i figure out which mtu my driver would like? [01:08] ``y7: any dmesg output? [01:08] orudie: I think it's 2 4 core CPUs [01:08] dmesg | tail ? [01:08] Real action is not acquired for many reasons this includes many people factory [01:08] <``y7> brianski: i don't know what dmesg output is [01:08] tag: I bought a core2duo for a reason ... well 2 reasons.. 1 everything works (even my 4gig ram) 2 it is really fast [01:08] I have a core2duo laptop as well (also running 32 bit) [01:08] <``y7> brianski: do i need to do that when the mtu is set to 9000 or anytime is good? i had to delete that mtu out so i could reconnect to the internet. [01:08] ``y7: just run dmesg | tail and look if there is anything about eth0 in there [01:09] It's nice [01:09] ``y7: also not all switches support jumbo frames [01:09] Piet, it appears to be working, you have been talking about the gateway? you say the gateway should be the same as my external ip address with a .255 at the end? currently i have 255.255.255.0 as gateway and it's working [01:09] it would be nice if ubuntu installation did not require a restart [01:10] install and ready to go lol [01:10] Hi, I want to use VMware to run Ubuntu, How would I get the latest ubuntu iso running? [01:10] orudie: then you'd need to use the same installed kernel as the one you use to boot with [01:10] and add some kernel support as well [01:10] buttons840: that would be one weird system. you don't mean 255.255.255.0 is your netmask, and your gateway is something else?

[01:10] can somebody please help me for some reason my computer is not playing videos. I have ubuntu [01:11] Siesta: Virtualbox is better [01:11] yes i know fccf but I would like to run the latest version and I really don't want to take another hour to download ubuntu [01:11] virtualbox is better? [01:11] TroN-0074: what happens when you try to play videos? [01:11] does it play iso? [01:11] Siesta: of course [01:11] hey all, got a problem on a new jaunty install.... nautilus is seg faulting.. any ideas what would cause this? [01:11] @Gustavo: something that easies is about apt-get install hall, but it may only done under the single user mode incase that HAL or X still malfunction... [01:11] VLC just pop up then dessapears [01:11] Siesta: I use virtualbox on my xp machine .. I have no trouble with it [01:11] buttons840: what is the server you are configuring going to do? where in your network setup will it be situated? [01:11] does it run iso without all this junk about .vmx files? [01:12] same with does the movie player [01:12] fccf: are you running 64 bit on the core2? [01:12] Siesta: indeed [01:12] TroN-0074: run vlc from a terminal window and check its messages when it crashes [01:12] Siesta: and it could even use VMDK files without needing a .vmx file [01:12] tag: no 32bit --- i needed a stable flumotion server .. I knew Hardy 32bit is the best bet [01:12] how does the terminal command look like? [01:12] ``y7: hmm that's not a good sign. try dmesg | grep eth and pastebin the whole thing [01:13] Siesta: you will have to set up storage within virtualbox, so that is another file. you mount the ISO as a cdrom IIRC [01:13] Siesta: but it's easy and guided [01:13] can anyone direct me to a tutorial/howto/otherwise on how to safely setup a previous software raid (openfiler) with ubuntu [01:13] Piet, i have it working, it's just a headless server (which i had to attach a head to when i fubbed up ;) attaching to a generic user friendly not setup required linksys router [01:13] can you please tell me the command to type on terminal to run VLC? === brianski is now known as brianski_afk [01:13] hi, any xmonad users here?

I sent an email to the IT director asking for a sitdown meeting to discuss what kind of role FOSS can play in the schools. Its going to be a long "walk" from here. [01:16] TroN-0074: why not? [01:16] TroN-0074: yeap [01:16] kartawirya, its post install and upgrade... even tried reinstalling nautilus did not help [01:16] orudie: seriously i think you will have better luck by downloading a standard x86 iso, and then converting it to a usb image [01:16] one sec [01:16] jstoneburner: this is the ubuntu support channel - - that might be a better topic for #ubuntu-offtopic [01:16] Ah, 10-4, sorry about that. [01:16] hi all. im on 9.04 and at reboot i got an error "Internal error, failed to initialize HAL!". anyone knows whats up with it? [01:16] brianski_afk, its already instlaled, its just working relaly slow for some reason [01:16] any xmonad users here? :D [01:17] how well does the 32bit translation layer work in linux? [01:17] in 64bit linux [01:17] I run a fair amount of proprietary software... [01:17] tag: just fine [01:17] Tag: just fine for me also [01:17] i've been running 64 bit for 2 years or so [01:17] <``y7> brianski_afk: http://pastebin.com/d6526e2be [01:17] there are 32-bit compatibility libs in the default install now, so you don't even have to think about it most times [01:18] !HAL [01:18] For an informative description of the Hardware Abstraction Layer , go to this site : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardware_abstraction_layer [01:18] Sylphid: that looks like the GTK library incompatibility problem with current nutilus version... [01:18] I'll give it a shot [01:18] ``y7: sorry i don't know what to tell you, maybe try that again after a reboot. i have no idea what all those messages are and they are obscuring the info we want to get at, which is namely what the driver is complaining about when you try to set the mtu to 9000 [01:18] later though [01:18] Tag: What sorts of programs [01:19] kseise: oracle-xe [01:19] dsdeiz: no, but it looks nice [01:19] so you think its slow because i instlalled the netbook version instead of desktop ? [01:19] Tag: I haven't tried it, but it should work. [01:19] <``y7> brianski_afk: reboot the networking or the entire system? [01:20] ``y7: the entire system, its the only way i know of to clear dmesg [01:20] orudie: are you using the one program at a time UNR interface or gnome ? [01:20] if you had an lpia optimized image, it would run very slowly on for example an amd chip, so its possible [01:21] yeah amd [01:21] how to open the mixer for my logitech mic? [01:22] <``y7> roger that brianski_afk, thx for the help. i've got somebody trying to help me in another channel. once i'm done with that, i'll reboot it. [01:22] it might not be a problem with the media player [01:22] kartawirya, any work around? [01:22] do you think it can be a problem with the video card? [01:22] dsdeiz: can you use gnome-panel or xfce-panel with it? [01:22] I mean configuration problem [01:22] orudie: you also probably have different drivers installed than if you had done a straight up desktop install. which might mean you are noticing things like poor video performance [01:22] is there a way that you can look to it [01:22] ``y7: good luck! [01:23] hey kartawirya , thats seemed to work (but we'll find out in a bit :P) thanks! [01:23] ok going to install regular desktop [01:23] orudie: you can convert any iso to a usb image with system -> administration -> usb startup disk creator [01:23] * brianski_afk now really afk. [01:23] Hi Jutman, nice, nice... [01:24] If you're from MD, I'll buy you a beer :P [01:24] is there a way I can reset ubuntu? [01:24] brianski_afk: I have tried repeatedly but get dropped into a busybox shell from the new USB image. Any tips? [01:25] because it is not playing videos since that one day my friends was messing around with the ubuntu configuration [01:25] I think he changed something of the video card configuration [01:26] TroN-0074: do you remember anything that he did? [01:26] TroN-0074: yusing vlc ? [01:26] I cant remember anything he did because he was typing fast [01:26] yes I have vlc [01:26] Sylphid: my short thinking about mismatch GNOME version, because I deal with seg fault with gschem 1.4 - that should work with ubuntu 8.04 but fail on ubuntu 9.04 [01:27] and movie player also is not openning files [01:27] any C programer in the house today? pvt me plz, i wish some little help here [01:27] TroN-0074: try to run it from cmd-lineto see errors, like vlc anyfilm.avi [01:28] Um_cara_qualquer: you might ask in #gcc [01:28] how can I do that? === phenom is now known as Guest35162 [01:28] thx dude [01:28] can you walk me through? [01:28] Is the 8.04.2 version somehow "less" maintained (security/bug/fix-wise) than newer versions? or is 8.04 equally maintained and therefore equally secure? [01:28] !who | TroN-0074 [01:28] TroN-0074: 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 :) [01:28] !lts | XCP [01:28] XCP: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Hardy (Hardy Herron 8.04) [01:28] mobi-sheep: I know that, but that does not even touch the question I asked. [01:28] sorry I was talking to whoever would like to help [01:29] XCP: You're likely to experience less problem with LTS version than Jaunty. I don't mind Jaunty because I like to live on bleeding edge. :) [01:29] mobi-sheep: okay :) [01:29] XCP: the LTS version is more mature as operating systems goes... If you want something stable it is the way to go [01:29] hello. I am in kde 4.2 ubuntu and was wondering if theres a way to enter symbols with keyboard shortcuts [01:30] fccf: stable... and also more secure? [01:30] (in average) [01:30] if I install ubuntu on one of two un-raided hard drives in my computer, vista already installed on the other one, will GRUB allow me to choose between the two at boot? [01:30] XCP: More stable as in "less likely to destroy your data" [01:30] XCP: More stable, yes. More secure? I don't know. Nothing is ever safe in life. :) [01:31] XCP: unplug you network connection if you want SECURE [01:31] !security | XCP [01:31] XCP: Security Updates are dealt with here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Security - See also !root, !firewall and !server [01:31] rainwalker: yes, just remember to install Ubuntu last [01:31] i would guess LTS is less prone to security problems in general [01:31] kseise: sweet, so I don't have to do anything special? as long as I install it to the right hard drive? [01:31] but as it gets very old, that's less likely to hold true [01:31] @rainwalker, it should appear the boot option to let you switch one of OS'es [01:32] XCP: I was gunning for http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/security earlier. Something worth reading. :) [01:32] kartawirya: sorry, could you explain that? [01:32] hello experts solve my problem [01:32] rainwalker: it should, but you could try to install grub on the other, non vista hd to not the bootloader [01:32] rainwalker: correct. Just watch the drive numbers and naming. Don't write over Vista. As always, make a backup of hte important data first. [01:32] ok gonna try to install desktop from cd [01:32] rainwalker: it should, but you could try to install grub on the other, non vista hd to not destroy* the bootloader [01:33] kseise, DasEi, I'm installing vista on one of the hard drives as we speak, where do you recommend I go from here? [01:33] mobi-sheep, fccf: yes, I get your point. I was just trying to say... if you use an OS that is continuously worked on for a long time, the number of found & fixed security exploits increases, while the chance of new ones being created is minimized (because you don't install cutting edge, new code). is my assumption not valid? [01:33] Hello experts, I want to create a bash file which will open 6 terminals in tabs with root user and specific working directory. How to accomplish that ? [01:33] XCP: yes .. I'd go with 8.04 LTS [01:34] XCP: Security patches will be included in the updates. [01:34] rainwalker, of course that GRUB should in Linux Ext2/3/4 partition and not on NTFS [01:34] rainwalker: change the hd to boot from in bios, (maybe use a live cd to backup vistas mbr, too), install buntu and install grub to the mbr of the free, then buntu disk [01:34] rainwalker: when you finish Vista on C:\ try rebooting from the live CD and follow the install prompts. At the end, you will be prompted to install grub to the master boot record. Others here have said no. I would say yes. It is your choice [01:35] XCP: Just because you're using LTS does not mean you'll be more security... just more stable. The exploited packages on Jaunty could affect Hardy in the same manner. [01:35] Hello experts, I want to create a bash file which will open 6 terminals in tabs with root user and specific working directory. How to accomplish that ? [01:35] DasEi: this is my first time setting up a dual boot, do you know of any more detailed instructions? [01:36] !dualboot [01:36] Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [01:36] !dual [01:36] Sorry, I don't know anything about dual [01:36] kseise: what difference does it make where I install it? I'm unfamiliar with dual-booting [01:36] mudassar: You might want terminator. [01:36] !info terminator | mudassar [01:36] mudassar: terminator (source: terminator): multiple GNOME terminals in one window. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.12-2 (jaunty), package size 120 kB, installed size 1064 kB [01:37] rainwalker: mostly (:P) grub integrates an existing windows install, but you're always safe to backup the mbr before [01:37] rainwalker: if you install on the Vista drive master boot record, there is no going back. You are stuck with GRUB and Ubuntu. There is a way to recover the MBR for Vista, but it is a pain. [01:38] dual could be two but could be more of two where it give two choices to boot one... [01:38] rainwalker: having done MBR recovery on vista - i can tell you you should install grub to the partition that ubuntu is on, and make it bootable .. the grub bootloader will then load vista on demand [01:38] how to use terminator to accomplish that ? [01:38] mudassar: You should look into "man terminator" and "terminator --help" for command parameters you can use. Also, look into Profile. This would be easier than create a script, I suppose. ;) [01:39] rainwalker: so best bet will be to have grub on the other hd, and -if not autodetected at install - add vista to it later [01:39] ahh two people are telling me exactly the opposite things haha [01:39] mudassar: I think there are a bug for starting terminal with tabs since it actually does not do the said parameter. [01:39] hello ,all guys [01:39] My PS/2 mouse is not working in GDM, but a USB mouse I've connected does. Any suggestions? I need to use the PS/2 interface. [01:39] rainwalker: DasEi means edit the GRUB menu later. It should be automatic if you install Vista first. [01:40] hellochina, hello too... [01:40] rainwalker: nope,same as kseise and fccf [01:40] kseise: so, at the end of installing ubuntu, it will ask where to install grub to, correct? that's when I pick the hard drive I'm installing ubuntu on? [01:40] rainwalker: yes [01:41] rainwalker: yes ... just watch the drive letters. [01:41] kseise: "drive letters"? [01:41] rainwalker: as said above, after vista installed, change bios to boot from other hd first [01:41] mobi-sheep: I can't see any difference in the parameters of terminator from the parameters of gnome-terminal [01:41] rainwalker: c: drive is usually /dev/sda and d: drive is /dev/sdb and so on. [01:41] DasEi: ohh, so change the boot order BEFORE I install ubuntu? [01:42] Hi Gustavo, shutdown you Linux, plug the PS/2 mouse and restart Linux again... === z is now known as Guest72381 [01:42] mudassar: Go fullscreen, Right-click and split horizontally. [01:42] rainwalker: /dev/sda1 or /dev/hda1 will be vista ... /dev/sdb1 or /dev/hdb1 will be ubuntu providing vista is on first or zero drive [01:42] rainwalker: yes, so you boot into grub and then can also choose (intact vista-mbr) win [01:42] rainwalker" following DasEi, that takes the drive letter problem out of the equation. Yes, switch the bios boot order between installs [01:42] mudassar: Customize to your liking and create a new group of that? [01:43] kartawirya, I've restarted it many times before with the PS/2 plugged in and it didn't work. [01:43] How do I change the monitor that Ubuntu 9.04 detects? It is not detecting my monitor correctly and giving me the proper resolution for the computer that I have hooked up to it. The monitor does a resolution of 1280x720 and ubuntu only gives me the option of 1920x1080 or 1440x480 which is just not right [01:43] Is there any sort of easy GUI md5 checker for Windows? [01:43] mobi-sheep: actually I want to open about 6 terminals at once with root user and in a specific directory .. [01:43] Viper550: of course [01:43] wow, now that I think about it, that makes a whole lot of sense [01:43] !md5sum | Viper550 [01:43] Viper550: To verify the integrity of a download, use the md5sum - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM for more [01:43] Oven1: /etc/X11/xorg.conf [01:43] thank you very much kseise, DasEi, and fccf :) [01:43] Try to fix X server again maybe...

Don't give up on Ubuntu, it is just different from Vista if you are not familiar with Linux, it can be overwhelming at first [01:44] Oven1: system> hardwaredrivers, correct driver installed ? [01:44] but it won't let me while i'm upgrading and I need it to work to catch the repository [01:45] !nvidia [01:45] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [01:45] Yup the nvidia 180.44 driver is installed [01:45] anyone know how to do dead kets in kubuntu [01:45] i'm assuming "cleaning up" during the upgrade means deleting all the repositories [01:45] any ideas?

[01:46] mudassar: #bash is the channel that often work with bash scripts. [01:47] mobi-sheep: yes I know that but there is no way to write a script command that will open a terminal in root user mode [01:47] <``y7> how do i figure out the max MTU my nic can handle in ubuntu?

[02:45] screw windows [02:45] !tab [02:45] Dethroned: Install Ubuntu.

Thanks! [03:27] ok... ok... let's see... [03:27] all people have any problems on flash player, what happend :S [03:27] Whenever I try to insert a CD, it always says "Cannot Mount volume" and the details state that the mount point /media/cdrom0 does not exist. I have tried to rename /media/cdrom to cdrom0, but it does something else and still don't work. [03:27] System > Admin > USB Startup disk creator [03:27] boss_mc: the problem is deeper than that, clicking on the sound icon would tell me there is no soundcard foud :) [03:27] debrisrat: yeah seems a lot of people are having issues with installing it, any other issues are Adobe's fault though, since closed source [03:27] at least on KK, I think JJ had it too [03:27] :S :( [03:27] Joker_-_: ah... [03:28] dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg goes directly into some "frame buffer" option, and doesn't automatically detect my video card. Any suggestions? [03:28] have you any problems on flash player ? [03:28] sebsebseb: have you any problems on flash player ? [03:28] Joker_-_: model? [03:28] debrisrat: I had problems with it before on former installs of Ubuntu, and with the Firefox there, but otherwise nah [03:28] zcat[1], memtest ran through a full pass with no errors... anything else i should try? [03:29] has it bug ? or problems =? [03:29] boss_mc: ill check the bios as a first step and we'll see after that. I wont see that screen for the next minutes so if you have an idea, tell it in PV. Model is said to be (on the back of the laptop): 7650-eef [03:29] brb [03:29] sebsebseb: has it bug ? or problems =? [03:29] Joker_-_: good luck [03:30] debrisrat: no one can fix Flash bugs, except for Adobe, and yes Flash can be rather buggy [03:30] helo al [03:30] debrisrat: and it can have security issues and such [03:30] Sylphid: exorcisim? Umm.. I presume it doesn't do the same from the live CD. New install though. weird. [03:30] helo alll [03:30] sebsebseb is it reported ?? [03:30] debrisrat: there have been articles before about security issues in the Flash player [03:31] hımmm [03:31] <_2eXtreme> hey guys, in my sound preferences for the alsa mixer, how can i ensure the iec958 switch is always ticked? i have to tick it every time i boot [03:31] sebsebseb: i hope, pass it :S :( [03:31] Whenever I try to insert a CD, it always says "Cannot Mount volume" and the details state that the mount point /media/cdrom0 does not exist. I have tried to rename /media/cdrom to cdrom0, but it does something else and still don't work. Any ideas? [03:31] debrisrat: closed source software tend to be slow at getting bugs fixed, well depends on the vender, opensource/freesoftware are usually much quicker at fixing security issues and such, depends on the project as well though [03:32] zcat[1], both HD fresh install and live cd fail on one box but not the other .... only hardware differences are 768 vs 512 and a different wireless card [03:32] jmk6f4: I think /media/cdrom0 is supposed to be an empty directory and /mdeia/cdrom is a simlink to /mdeia/cdrom0 [03:32] i hope, sebsebseb :| === |Cueball| is now known as Cueball [03:32] dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg goes directly into some "frame buffer" option, and doesn't automatically detect my video card. Any suggestions? [03:32] Can anyone help me, or point me to a *really* good tutorial on networking my Vista and Ubuntu 9 machines? [03:32] I'm following this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountWindowsSharesPermanently to mount a Win Share drive. Should I use cifs or smbfs if I am sharing from a vista computer? It just says "cifs if Windows Server 2003 or later". [03:32] zcat[1], s/512/512MB ram/ [03:32] I tried installing mint 7, it was so much more confusing than Ubuntu [03:33] I can't seem to find anything for the latest Ubuntu release. [03:33] elite_prodigy: no, but if you want to share files between them, I can get the bot to link to something [03:33] zcat[1]: You would be correct, as /media/cdrom is a syslink to cdrom0, but there actually is no /media/cdrom0, should I create it and how should I go about it? [03:33] Sylphid: well, I'd start by swapping the wireless cards perhaps. [03:33] hey does anyone know a good small biz crm for ubuntu? native is favored but web-based is fine [03:33] jmk6f4: sudo mkdir /media/cdrom0 ; sudo chmod a+rwx /dev/media/cdrom [03:33] hoı [03:34] sebsebseb: What do you mean? [03:34] zcat[1], can try but i dont know why that would cause nautilus to seg fault [03:34] how can i connect my pda to ubuntu ? [03:34] Gnagh .. not /dev/media/cdrom ;) [03:34] jeffrey_: you have been asking that here and there for awhile now and so, well you have been paitent, but I am doing it for the links [03:34] !patience | jeffrey_ [03:34] jeffrey_: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [03:34] I meant /media/cdrom0 again.. [03:34] <_2eXtreme> in my sound preferences for the alsa mixer, how can i ensure the iec958 switch is always ticked? i have to tick it every time i boot [03:34] zcat[1]: I figured just as much. :) [03:34] I did a clean installation of Ubuntu 9.04, run all the updates and stuff... The thing is that whenever I try to play Restaurant City now, the game doesn't load, it does nothing. I used to play it perfectly but since I installed the new version, I just can't. I don't understand what the problem is. I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling flashplugin-nonfree, going to Abode.com to download again the player for what I've read but still nothing. [03:34] :)) [03:35] how do you set up dual monitors [03:35] i use intel 965 chipset [03:35] ultmate: thats all ?? [03:36] ls [03:36] jmk6f4: actually ignore that last one, just a+rx (I as looking at the flags on the simlink) === debrisrat is now known as DebrisRat [03:36] how can i send parameters in a ANSI C program ? my program is test.c and im using gcc compiler.. [03:36] zcat[1]: What part should I ignore? The writable chmod?

[03:37] quit [03:37] zcat[1]: Yes sir. Well it worked with the writable, but I will change that now. Thank you tremendously for your help! [03:37] not sure what the default flags are but mine here is +rwxr-xr-x [03:37] uskrewed: of course, but what is your actsual issue? [03:37] niuby: what do you mean by 'send parameters'? [03:37] exit [03:37] my CPU usage seems to jump fairly high and my computer/firefox lag [03:38] I have an AMD 4000 and 3gb ram [03:38] uskrewed: yep I have had that, it happens when you got a lot of tabs open, and some Flash open in them [03:38] ? [03:38] yes [03:38] uskrewed: dillo ! [03:38] uskrewed: well I just told you why [03:38] ::D [03:38] uskrewed: lynx ! [03:38] boss_mc , i need send parameters ... for example in bash i can send parameters with ./bashprogram param1 param2 etc.... and can i identify with $1 $2 etc.. but here ? [03:38] so firefox just leaks memory from flash? [03:38] uskrewed: Flash is probably what is mainly causing it [03:38] wouldn't that problem be apparent with any browser using flash? [03:38] I need help changing the default display mode for ubuntu... it won't work with my default monitor [03:39] niuby: this is well OT (it's not an ubuntu support issue), take it to #ubuntu-offtopic? [03:39] firefox3 fixed most of the memory leaks, not sure about flash.. probably leaks like a sieve... [03:39] uskrewed: nope other browsers work great with Flash it seems [03:39] boss_mc do u know an ansi c unix channel? :p [03:39] uskrewed: it's to to do with how the version of FIrefox Ubuntu has deals with Flash [03:39] could anyone assist me with some peculiar sound issues in ubuntu 9.04? [03:39] niuby: #c ? [03:39] niuby: ##c, but don't try asking a question like that in there [03:39] can anybody give me a helping hand? [03:40] !ask|drone [03:40] drone: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [03:40] niuby: you need to learn the basics from a good C book first [03:40] boss and zcat recommended lynx. what would you suggest, sebsebseb? [03:40] no, I recomended dillo ;) [03:40] right, sorry :P [03:40] drone: sound is tricky on ubuntu -- have you checked if your card is supported? [03:40] drone: maybe, but I like this bot trigger and so [03:40] !anybody | drone [03:40] drone: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?

[03:41] so sebsebseb which browser do you suggest? [03:41] lol [03:41] using ff3.5b4 here but I suspect there are better browsers.. I have a gig of ram or more in all my machines now ;) [03:41] yes how r u? [03:41] ibmman: good...do i know you? [03:41] zcat[1], not the wireless card [03:41] alguien aqui habla español [03:41] uskrewed: you could try chromium, but I think it's still in alpha or something like that [03:41] uskrewed: yep you could get a version directly from Mozilla and try that, even the development versions of Firefox are pretty stable, and so Firefox 3.5 Beta 4 would be ok [03:41] good my name is bab [03:42] !es | humberto [03:42] humberto: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [03:42] I'm running ubuntu 9.04 64 bit with a tv as a monitor by way of dvi-to-hdmi and audio via mini-to-stereo rca Y cable. I have video but no sound. Weird thing is, I booted an 8.10 live cd and also a couple others such as fedora 9 and slax and they all had sound. [03:42] okay so uninstall firefox and then grab it directly from mozilla, sebsebseb? [03:42] Sylphid: so nothing weird in dmesg or /var/log/messages [03:42] or just install it on top of [03:42] whats worse is I can plug in speakers to the computer and unplug the tv and I get sound out of them [03:42] uskrewed: it's worth a try, but you might still get those issues [03:42] blz google chrome? or is there another browser that goes by that name [03:42] uskrewed: and I think you can have both versions installed, it's just they might fight over .mozilla in home [03:42] Anyone know how to network Vista and Ubuntu together so Printers can be shared? [03:43] uskrewed: chromium is the linux port of chrome [03:43] dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg goes directly into some "frame buffer" option, and doesn't automatically detect my video card. Any suggestions? [03:43] I just need to get it to default display at 1024x768 for all users plus log in... [03:43] uskrewed: there is a Google Chrome alpha for Linux now, one guy said it's good [03:43] zcat[1], checking [03:43] I have both ff3.0 and 3.5 installed, evry time I switch it checks all my plugins for updates.. [03:43] uskrewed: ,but for market share reasons, it's probably best to stay with Firefox if you can [03:43] drone: how is your sound card connected to the computer? [03:43] oh sorry [03:43] other than that it works fine. [03:43] nvm [03:43] its on the mobo [03:43] to help FF's numbers, sebsebseb? [03:43] uskrewed: yep [03:43] so I mostly just stick with 3.5 [03:43] hehe [03:44] Blz: Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA) === _milenko is now known as waltub [03:44] uskrewed: it is the most used browser after the worst of all Internet Explorer [03:44] drone: I'm afraid I don't have a lot to offer, but have you checked for proprietary drivers? [03:44] I was shocked to hera that IE has 60% [03:44] people are utterly retarded [03:44] I still haven't even looked at chrome. perhaps I should [03:44] Blz: no, not yet, but only because it works fine in 8.10 and also works fine if I just plug in speakers [03:44] uskrewed: heh heh [03:45] su bindumin frank sa fina de a hina simawanaki [03:45] people are lazy.. MSIE comes preinstalled on >>60% of machines [03:45] drone: I'd try that first. beyond that, I really don't know. Sorry! [03:45] I haven't used IE since I discovered navigator way back when [03:45] drone: any reason you can't use 8.10? [03:45] shit, it was bundled with windows back in the day [03:45] drone: or 8.04 LTS? [03:45] uskrewed: then again on the other hand webkit could be better to make websites for than Gecko now days really [03:45] Is there anything I could do? It seems to me that the FLASH Plugin isn't recognized by Mozilla no matter what I do... [03:45] zcat my problem with chrome is the lack of addon support [03:45] ultmate: how are you trying to install the flash plugin? [03:45] Blz: I really like the performance with 9.04 [03:45] ultmate: are you just using the browser? [03:45] I don't think I'd manage without adblock and noscript [03:45] uskrewed: Mozilla and Netscape use Gecko to display pages, Safari and Chrome use Webkit [03:46] drone: yeah, I hear you... sucks sometiems =) [03:46] Blz: plus I'd rather figure this out. It's a strange situation indeed ;) [03:46] uskrewed: Epiphany and Galeon are nice little Gnome browsers, use Gecko by default, but one of them or both could use webkit even [03:46] uskrewed: mine too, but then 3.5 isn't supporting many of the plugins I like.. chrome has adblockplus, etc.. I think I could live with it. [03:46] drone: lol yeah... those seem to happen a lot under *nix. good luck! [03:46] Can anybody help me change the display defaults to 1024x768? [03:46] ultmate: did you get that? [03:47] uskrewed: and Webkit is based on KHTML what Konqueror uses [03:47] devi1: have you tried the display manager? [03:47] !browsers > uskrewed [03:47] I recently discovered that, sebsebseb, when I accidentally loaded it up and my addons were installed on them [03:47] uskrewed, please see my private message [03:47] uskrewed: discovered what? [03:47] yes, the regular way [03:47] that they use gecko as a base [03:47] dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg goes directly into some "frame buffer" option, and doesn't automatically detect my video card. Any suggestions? [03:47] uskrewed: ah yes I forgot about Seamonkey that's good as well, Mozilla Suite didn't hit off marketshare wise, so along comes Firefox, but the suites code lives on as Seamonkey === djuggler__ is now known as djuggler [03:48] seamonkey looks and feels like netscape to me, so it was kinda nice using it [03:48] Blz: I'm not familiar with ubuntu, but I need to change it for all users even log in. the problem is the old dell monitor we have here will not show any other display modes... when i used display preferences as soon as i rebooted it went back to a different mode out of range for the monitor. [03:48] I haven't given it a chance yet [03:48] uskrewed: Opera must be the 3rd most popular browser, but that's closed source, and it has it's own rendering engine Presto [03:49] and no gnome support [03:49] zcat[1], thanks!! that was the nudge i needed..... it was segfaulting on libbrasero-media ... purged it and it worked... gonna try to reinstall it and see if it works [03:49] devi1: are you using proprietary drivers? [03:49] uskrewed: loads of good browsers out there, but probably better to browse more mainstream sites using Firefox really, because of market share reasons [03:49] Blz: None [03:50] isn't Opera by mozilla? [03:50] uskrewed: no [03:50] Hi. I'm trying to mount my Windows share with fstab. I've got it all working, except that It can't resolve the name of the windows share. Could I provide the Workgroup that it is in so it can find the Name? [03:50] devi1: try going through system>display [03:50] Blz: I was going to edit xorg.conf but it's strangely and alien bare... [03:50] it's something like that [03:50] Sylphid: ahhhh.. so try a different optical drive perhaps? [03:50] devi1: try it graphically first [03:50] uskrewed: Opera is made by the Norweigan Opera Software [03:50] Blz: that's the one where settings did not hold... [03:50] okay, thank you sebsebseb [03:51] I'm going to give seamonkey a try and see how it handles [03:51] uskrewed: I prefer Galeon and Epiphany when it comes to alternatives [03:51] Hey whats the best application to handle your Ipod on ubuntu 9.4 [03:51] devi1: oooh. right. sorry === abasit is now known as basit [03:51] uskrewed: ,but Seamonkey has addons and themes and such [03:51] seamonky is just like netscape [03:51] zcat[1], possibly.... gonna try to reseat 1st just to see [03:51] What sound and video card should I use in this junk parts build? http://pastebin.com/m2bff56b3 [03:51] tad1073: that's right [03:51] devi1: sanity check: are you an admin on the machine? [03:51] the addons and the netscape thing are whats making me want to try seamonkey [03:51] Blz: No worries, any place I can find a text file in ubuntu to edit it there. Indeed I am, good question. [03:52] hey all [03:52] tad1073: Netscape Navigatour lives on as Seamonkey, since it failed living on as Mozilla Suite [03:52] I'll take a look at epiphany as well, thank you [03:52] Do I need to install samba in order to resolve windows host names? [03:52] I used to like netscape, but now I think the UI is crap [03:52] uskrewed: sudo apt-get install epiphany-browser or you end up installing some game [03:52] devi1: hmm... can you pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf? [03:52] yeah one min [03:53] I already had it installed, as well as a few other browsers, I just haven't had the time/want to test it out [03:53] tad1073: what most web users don't reolize is that it dosan't really matter that much what end user features a browser can do as long as it can open webpages, under the hood though now that's important [03:53] thank you though [03:53] can't they just accept nobody actually wants one huge program that tries to do everything, we already have emacs! ;) [03:53] tad1073: what webstandards coding a browser suppourts or dosan't support [03:53] sebsebseb, and do so securely [03:53] BeatlesFan: security yeah, but I would argue that web standards support is more important when it comes to browsers [03:54] yeah, but it has to be aesthetically pleasing too [03:54] i use intel 965 chipset and i'm trying to set up dual monitors, but my second monitor won't turn on even when i set it up my comp for dual monitors any help?

I try to avoid windows.. but if you have a windows domain the domain server is also a dns server and names like 'host.mydomain' should resolve to an ip address tehre [03:56] Blz: My issue? Yay command prompt... :-| [03:56] * devi1 is not enthusiastic... [03:57] ok [03:57] devi1: hmm... damned if I know... [03:57] Are there any programs for ubuntu where I can create and compile flash and actionscript applications [03:57] coreyman: doubt it since both are horrible [03:57] sebsebseb++ [03:58] cryptide: :d :) [03:58] any volunteers to try and help me get this video card working? [03:58] i'm trying to copy contents of home directories off an old drive onto a new one. how do i make the destination permissions appropriate for each user, or will i have to chown everything after the move? [03:58] well i would use java if it didn't take so long for my client to download it.... but it takes forever... so im left with one other choice [03:58] coreyman: flasm? [03:58] well... Can't find a way to have sound working on that lenovo r61e [03:59] anyone has an idea? [03:59] zcat[1] checking [03:59] coreyman: mtasc also [03:59] zcat[1]: When I view the pc with nautilus, I get "Location: smb://Name_of_Pc/" When I am mounting in fstab, It can't find //Name_of_Pc/ Do I need to give it the Workgroup too or something? [03:59] coreyman: apt-cache search actionscript ;) [03:59] i really need to get this to work does anyone have any resources? [04:00] aparently the sound card isnt detected on that lenovo r61e (laptop) [04:00] Blz: well thanks for trying [04:00] Joker_-_ , did you look in the forums? [04:00] BeatlesFan: I googled for an hour or so... [04:00] devi1: yeah sorry... I can fix obvious problems, but this doesn't appear to be one. [04:01] Joker_-_: right.. same here for my video card [04:01] Intel i740 AGP, ATI Rage II+ DVD PCI, Creative Labs CT7230 PCI, SIS 6326 AGP, S3 Virge w/ Stealth 3D 2000 PCI, S3 Savage4 GT AGP, what one will work best in Edubuntu? I don't remember anything aboiut these cads other then I know that the intel and ati cards have foss drivers but reviews for all seem to be non existant [04:01] !intel | mib_kr7uboje [04:01] mib_kr7uboje: Ubuntu 9.04 has a known regression for some Intel graphics support. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/IntelPerformance and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130582 for more information. [04:01] Joeseph: For a workgroup, no.. there's some funky thing you can do with resolvconf I think, make it use samba to resolve names... there's a pointer for you anyhow, now go google it ;) [04:01] thanks zcat[1] [04:01] Blz: *nods* no worries I'm sure it's just a config problem somewhere that has to be over ridden with a display mode i can use... [04:01] mib_kr7uboje: some intel stuff mentioned in the release notes as well [04:02] !notes | mib_kr7uboje [04:02] mib_kr7uboje: Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) release notes can be found here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyJackalope/ReleaseNotes [04:02] zcat[1]: Thanks.... I'll keep on googling as I was..... So is it googling or googleing? [04:02] JoesephThe goggles, they do nothing [04:02] i use intel 965 chipset and i'm trying to set up dual monitors, but my second monitor won't turn on even when i set it up my comp for dual monitors any help? [04:03] Joeseph: I guess you could google that too.. [04:03] anyone got time to try to fix my problem? Sound card isnt detected in that lenovo r61e laptop... [04:03] Joeseph: its called searching [04:03] thatguy: check above with the bot links and such I just gave now that have stuff to do with Intel, just check nothing applys to you [04:04] thatguy: the stuff above just now [04:04] ubottu yeah I was reading about that on phoronix, I figure just install 8.10 [04:04] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [04:04] test34: Oh. My mistake [04:04] test34: no it's googling. I like verbing my nouns! [04:04] thatguy: and dual monitors can be a bit tricky to set up I think, even though I never done it [04:04] thatguy: is there an xorg tutorial or something for it hum [04:04] sebsebseb: works flawlessly with nvidia tho. [04:04] !xorg > thatguy [04:04] thatguy, please see my private message [04:05] trying to compile and get error message No package 'gtk+-2.0' found , how can I fix this [04:05] I'll be back later going to try rebooting and changing a few things [04:05] well it should just system->prefs->display [04:05] anyone got time to try to fix my problem? Sound card isnt detected in that lenovo r61e laptop... [04:05] Joker_-_: maybe useless, but [04:05] !sound > Joker_-_ [04:05] Joker_-_, please see my private message [04:06] so which card though, I.E. what 10 year old card will give the highest fps in Openarena [04:06] looking for help-- LOST PASSWORD [04:06] zcat[1]: Got it to work! Thanks.... As soon as this finishes loading anyway.... man it's taking forever. [04:06] sebsebseb: yeah... that supposes yur sound card is detected... [04:06] mib_032qwrtx: You want to reset your Ubuntu password? [04:06] sebsebseb: my actual problem is probably more of a module [04:06] yeah. cant login [04:06] Hi there. Does anyone know how to install a SuSe screensaver (Substrate) in Ubuntu? [04:06] sebsebseb: like snd-hda-intel [04:06] mib_032qwrtx: ok that's easy [04:07] mib_032qwrtx: go into recovery mode from the bootloader, then do the root prompt and then [04:07] mib_032qwrtx: passwd username [04:07] mib_032qwrtx: your username that is, and put in your new password twice [04:07] sebsebseb: altho if I try to modprobe hda-snd-intel, it gives me an error... [04:07] mib_032qwrtx: and do something resaonably long thath as letters and numbers in it at least, so you don't have a really insecure password [04:08] thanks sebsebseb [04:08] Joker_-_: sound isn't my area [04:08] mib_032qwrtx: np [04:08] all config files nees .conf in etc/modprobe... blah blah blah [04:08] mib_kr7uboje: voodoo ? [04:08] Ha! Now I can ssh over to my ubuntu machine to get my music library on my vista pc! [04:08] I'm wondering if this is a vmware issue or an ubuntu server thing here, maybe someone can help. I have ubuntu server 8.10 in vmware, apache is serving via the ip address I get as inet addr from ifconfig. I would like to be able to use putty from my windows box to do everything though. ip in browser from win works fine, but not in putty. [04:08] Joeseph: ok [04:09] here4thegear: has to do with port redirect imo [04:09] test34 list of the parts I've got collecting dust from machines I've found dumpster diving http://pastebin.com/m2bff56b3 [04:09] hello m8's [04:09] heath|work: the virtual machine has a different IP and you must forward the port to that virtual machine [04:09] here4thegear: do you have openssh-server installed? [04:10] here4thegear, Did you install openssh-server on the virtual machine? === ultmate is now known as Ult_m4t3 [04:10] heath|work: I have a similar setup here and it works just fine. Of course, you need openssh installed as fccf said :) [04:10] mib_kr7uboje: research each of them, there isnt many [04:10] fccf rob_p no I did not.... can I apt-get it or is there another prefered method? [04:11] here4thegear, That would be the right method, yes. [04:11] here4thegear: sudo apt-get install openssh-server --- do that [04:11] but Im thinking ATI Rage II+ DVD or Savage4 for some unknown reason [04:11] test34 tried before I posted, not much at all to go on as the pages have long since been taken off any review site [04:11] here4thegear: then you can use putty (with the secure component) to access the server [04:12] Out of curiosity, how 'unsafe' is it to ssh with a password (opposed to public/private keys)? It's just for my home pc. Isn't it just brute force password guess attacks I'm viable to? [04:12] What's wrong with the FLASH PLUGIN? Mozilla doesn't recognize the player [04:12] Joeseph: it's not necessarily, but it's just easier to avoid mistakes if you use keys [04:12] Joseph: yep and after 3 or 5 (not sure) bad attempts it won't let you in [04:12] i am having a trouble with modprobe fuse, this is my error http://pastebin.com/m3b8da3e2 [04:12] not to mention, just plain easier. [04:13] '$ ssh machine' can take you directly there, immediately, without pausing for a password [04:13] if it *does* pause and ask for a password, you can be almost assured that you're being Man-In-the-Middle attacked [04:14] hoonteke: I suppose so.... I guess I'll do that. The logic I had before Doesn't even really make sense to me now. Thanks. [04:14] Joeseph: but if you don't have the ssh port forwarded through your router it would be impossible to access from outside your network [04:14] fccf: Yeah, I've done that. [04:14] Joeseph: the one hiccup is if you haven't figured out the .ssh/config and how to separate different keys for different hosts automatically [04:14] then you have to manually specify '-i path/to/private/key' which gets annoying [04:15] hoonteke: I plan on just ssh-ing to one pc right now anyway... I'll figure out the config later If I add more. [04:15] sounds good [04:15] nice [04:16] nvm, figured out how to install xscreensavers on Ubuntu [04:16] fccf rob_p thanks to both of you It is installing now :) [04:16] What ubuntu version would you recommend running on a virtualization setup, 64 bit server, 8 gigs of ram (desktop, server, 32 or 64 bit) [04:16] Joeseph: I don't know how anal you are, but I'm pretty anal. I name my keys in my ssh folder as such "hostname-date". So, for example, one key I have: '~/.ssh/lina-19May2008' [04:16] here4thegear, welcome [04:17] Treyh: is this going into production - how stable do you need? [04:17] what is considered streaming? Is it when I go to a share on another computer and play music, videos, etc from there? [04:17] fccf, yes production, and the VM's will be 32 bit windows server 2003 [04:17] fccf, i have about 2 weeks to test [04:17] tad1073: streaming web radio [04:17] hello.. [04:17] tad1073: streaming video on a website [04:17] Joeseph: of course, if you're worried about security, make sure that you keep the machine with the private keys secure, or consider adding a passphrase [04:17] tad1073: streaming web cams with sound [04:18] if someone gets a hold of those private keys, and knows which machines to try ... [04:18] Ooooh this is sweet, I have it all installed and running, you people freaking rule [04:18] TX packets:2323050 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:18 / TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) ? what's problem? [04:18] Treyh: use Hardy 8.04 32bit and virtualbox... how many servers? [04:18] fccf, currently using server 9.04 but seems to use a lot more memory than i expected. when I have 3 VM's running with 1.25gigs of memory each, the server uses 7 gigs of ram total [04:18] fccf, i'm also using vbox [04:19] Treyh: How much swap do you have? [04:19] Guys, I'm on a i7 2.6ghz 8GB system wanting to dualboot with ubuntu............. Should i go for the x64 or x86? I'm not too experienced, but have used linux before for basic tasks like chatting, irc, etc... Is X64 linux widely supported with software, etc or should i stick to 32bit and be in the majority crowd?? [04:19] hoonteke: Eh. I feel that the odds of someone A. Finding the pc I use. B. Knowing Ubuntu C. Able to guess my user password. and D. Know what machine to go to and E. Know how to ssh, and F. Wants my information that badly, is fairly minimal. [04:20] fccf, chose the defaults, top shows 5g [04:20] PushaT: 64 bit all the way [04:20] Treyh: is any of it being used? [04:20] Joeseph: yep. That's pretty much my situation as well. But, it needs to be said, at the point I'm giving adice about how to use ssh keys [04:20] :-) [04:20] fccf, no and when i tried using 4 VM's, it maxed out the memory and did use swap, but the server basically froze [04:21] tad1073 is apt get etc all same and auto gets x64 packages? [04:21] PushaT: depends on your CPU [04:21] PushaT: yes [04:21] ai cool [04:21] he has an i7 [04:21] hoonteke: Yeah. Thanks for the advice by the way. [04:21] PushaT, if you're on 64bit linux, apt-get will automagically find the 64bit packages [04:21] PushaT: 64bit with 8GB RAM nice [04:21] PushaT: it's not nearly as big an issue in this crowd as it might be in a closed-source crowd. Def go 64. Don't limit how you can use your hardware. [04:21] PushaT: then you definatly get 64bit [04:22] the software packages are there [04:22] Treyh: I personally think you will have much better luck with 8.04 as it is meant for servers and is supported until 2013 for servers [04:22] i7 is dual core? [04:22] PushaT: yep can't use all your 8GB RAM on 32bit [04:22] quad core [04:22] ahh [04:22] nice [04:22] fccf, thank you, i have two of these servers, will try 8.04 on the second one tomorrow. desktop or server edition? [04:22] the new quad core [04:23] =) [04:23] must be nice [04:23] how do I change the default programs used to open different files? I've apparently set thunderbird to view png's when I use gnome-open or double-click on them. Not-so-helpful ... [04:23] Treyh: install the server version and then install ubuntu-desktop so you can use the GUI for setting up your servers ... but keep the server kernel [04:23] I highly recommend anyone to get this speced computer [04:23] !default | hoonteke [04:23] hoonteke: To change the default application for a filetype in Nautilus, right-click on a file, select Properties -> Open With, and then change the setting. [04:23] fccf, so sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop ? [04:23] I have a q6700 quad core on my machine [04:23] Treyh: I'd actually receommend the opposite. do *not* install ubuntu-desktop on the server [04:24] Treyh: yep after apt-get update [04:24] because, among other things, that installs the X server [04:24] nice thing about Ubuntu.. you can have a newer set up and it will blaze but it will also run a lot faster on older computers [04:24] Games are like notepad on this thing... I can minmize em and burn cd's chat, etc and pop game back up running on max specs and play while things are going in background [04:24] compared to M$ Winblows [04:24] you can still get graphical access, without the security risk of installing the X *server*. [04:24] PushaT: sounds good [04:24] ssh -Y server_name from another machine, and that will let you run different graphical programs [04:24] hoonteke, would you just gnome or something lighter? [04:24] hey guys im trying to copy files on to my usb drive and it says that im not allowed.. it looks like i dont have write access, so i tried for terminal as root and i still have issues.. how do i change the permissions of the drive/ [04:25] Treyh: on a server environment, I would not use a desktop, period [04:25] hoonteke, even with vbox? [04:25] w3rd_: gksudo nautilus right click drive go to properites change permissions. that should work === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [04:25] w3rd_: drive in computer. and it might also be in /mnt or /media [04:25] Treyh: what people don't realize is that you can still get GUI programs without the X server [04:25] w3rd_: also this [04:25] !permissions | w3rd_ [04:25] w3rd_: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [04:25] X works kind of weirdly when you're used to Windows, e.g [04:25] is there a way to do that from command line [04:25] hoonteke, how? [04:25] w3rd_: and be careful when running nautilus as root [04:25] right.. [04:26] w3rd_: so you don't delete some system file or something [04:26] well, X Server is what actually touches your hardware [04:26] im running nautilis as a user [04:26] so to use the monitor, you have X server running [04:26] but the X Clients are the programs [04:26] chown [04:26] roughly, firefox, gedit, gnome-terminal [04:26] hoonteke, you know of a link that might explain this? [04:26] Treyh: heh, that's probably a good suggestion for me. I'll have to google [04:27] but, the gist of it is that you can ssh -Y from another box, say your laptop, and then execute the program, and it will automagically work [04:27] Just making sure I understand this correctly.... Groups are for allowing similair permissions to a 'group' of people, and any one user can be a part of multiple groups, yes? [04:27] w3rd_: ok well try what I said :) [04:27] Joeseph, yup [04:27] Joeseph: yes [04:28] hoonteke, interesting will try that now, will it work if X is already running? [04:28] same as with windows [04:28] yeah. the ssh -Y sets up the environment as necessary [04:28] moci [04:28] mainly, just export the DISPLAY variable to sub programs [04:28] just a little easier to find [04:28] but if you want to prove it to yourself, turn off the X server on the server machine [04:28] I believe gdm is the service? [04:29] Treyh: # /etc/init.d/gdm stop [04:29] should do the trick [04:29] then, from your client machine, ssh -Y ... and run your GUI program. [04:30] sebsebseb: thanks for the open with pointer. [04:30] hoonteke: ok np [04:30] sebsebseb: i have tried to change the permission via nautilis and it doesnt give me the capability, says that it can determine the filesystem type... i have tried to recursivly change the permissions of the USB drive via the mount point, and i have tried to chown, chgrp and i get errors that say i cant === Kipas_Angin is now known as myphnix [04:30] Treyh: the thinking is that because the XServer is run as the root user, and it's historically *not* been bug free, it's better not to run the X Server in mission critical settings [04:31] not to mention other issues, like taking up unneeded resources on a server environment [04:31] w3rd, you using sudo chmod? [04:31] naw, i su to root [04:31] w3rd_: can't determine filesystem type hum [04:31] w3rd_: what is the file system? [04:31] that is what it says when i right click the icon.. [04:31] it maybe a journaled fs due to the fact i use / mount via a mac [04:32] and now trying to load via ubuntu.. [04:32] it sees the files [04:32] is there somewhere i can post suggestions about ubuntu's install system? there are some very important things that aren't being done right... [04:32] i just cant write as user or group [04:32] only root [04:32] but even su as root i cant cp or mv [04:32] dunno? [04:32] !brainstorm | TeenySHAD0W [04:32] TeenySHAD0W: Post your ideas for ubuntu at http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com and vote for the ones you like! [04:32] TeenySHAD0W: a blog? wordpress? ubuntuforums? I dunno ... [04:32] hehe, sebsebseb is on it! [04:33] for instance, the swap partition needs to be at least the size of ram in order for hibernation to work. [04:33] Out of curiosity, has anyone had problems with an ipod with linux (as in ipodlinux.org) and gtkpod? I'm considering managing my movies with that, since Rhythmbox does not support movies. [04:33] hoonteke, I did ssh -Y localhost and logged in, typed sudo firefox and it said no display specified [04:33] TeenySHAD0W: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/Ubuntu-installer [04:33] I personally know the CEO of Canonical.. I'll let him know TeenyShadow [04:33] Joeseph: Banshee can sync an Ipod [04:33] Treyh: ssh -X ? [04:33] Treyh: I assume you're ssh -Y' [04:33] from another machine [04:33] BeatlesFan: sure and I am Donald Duck [04:33] with X running on /the other/ machine [04:33] sebsebseb: I had trouble with it reading my linux partition instead of my ipod partition.... [04:34] mobi-sheep: no, I believe -Y. [04:34] mobi-sheep, same t hing [04:34] TeenySHADOW: if you set the partitions yourself you can allocate as much or as little space you want [04:34] sebsebseb: I thought you were Mickey Mouse.. not Donald! [04:34] hoonteke, thats what I used yes [04:34] Treyh: to clarify, you're running from a normal desktop on the machine from which you're sshing, yes? [04:34] BeatlesFan: yeah and I thought you were Goofey [04:34] but /on the server/ X is off [04:34] right... but if linux is going to do the desktop in a big way, this stuff needs to be automated. [04:35] hoonteke, I sshed using putty, onto the ubuntu desktop [04:35] TeenySHAD0W: Guided install does SWAP for people [04:35] Treyh: ah, then we have other issues [04:35] putty is on windows [04:35] hoonteke, just a sec i can test from the actual box [04:35] yes, but at least in my case, it wasn't big enough for hibernation. [04:35] and you'll need to isntall Cygwin/ X for that to work [04:35] so it wasn't determined properly. [04:35] I have a problem with the evolution went a try to do the spelling, the evolution is close in that moment [04:35] TeenySHAD0W: I would never let ANY OS partition my drives for me, desktop, server, UNR, etc. [04:35] TeenySHAD0W: right, but did you have enough unallocated space on the hard disk for it to be big enough? [04:35] what's the channel for discussing openoffice bugs [04:36] Jeruvy: indeed more control if we do it ourself, but new users will use guided [04:36] Treyh: what's happening behind the scenes is that X is speaking a certain protocol. That protocol is not understood by Windows graphics subsystem, so you'll need to install an X Server on the windows machine [04:36] the only one of which I know is Cygwin's [04:36] sebsebseb: oh without even saying :) [04:36] TeenySHAD0W: also, #ubuntu-installer on this irc net [04:36] Jeruvy, you should always be able to manually partition, but the automatic needs to be refined for people who have no klew. [04:36] sagaci: don't know [04:37] Can anyone tell my why the fonts on my new Ubuntu install is all garbled? [04:37] blah. [04:37] later. [04:37] TeenySHAD0W: the problem of course comes with dual-booting, otherwise sure it's ok to do. [04:37] thanks folks. [04:37] elite_prodigy: New Ubuntu fonts! [04:37] need help with my audio....i had it fixed a while back but i just logged in and now its not even seeing my sound card...and i have no idea what to do....(please dont expect me to know how to use linux as i am still very new) [04:37] !fonts [04:37] Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer [04:37] it was issues with ownership... looks like i got it to work.. chown saves the day.. got lost for a moment.. ty for any help [04:37] mobi-sheep: How do I fix it/get the fonts? [04:38] hoonteke, testing it now from another ubuntu desktop === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [04:38] So all I have to do is intall the fonts and I'll be set? [04:38] could somone help me with my audio please? [04:39] which server ubuntu 9.04 or windows 2003? [04:39] elite_prodigy, Probably. [04:39] file and media sharing for now [04:39] one reason not to use a GUI system (like X) on the server: Back in 2003 era, there was a friendly horror story about the server running so slowly, but everytime someone checked it out, nothing was awry and it was right zippy. Finally someone had the bright idea to remote in without disturbing the environment, and realized it was the OpenGL screensaver taking up all the power on the (Windows) server. === hoohaah is now known as hoo-hah [04:39] I've gotten Firefox 3.5b4.tar.bz2 how exactly do I install it over FF3? Or should I make it a separate install [04:39] hoonteke: good advice [04:40] tad1073: I would definitely use something based on linux, but maybe debian instead of ubuntu for servers [04:40] hoonteke: And a good story. [04:40] uskrewed: just untar it into a directory, and I believe you can run it as ./firefox [04:40] that's been my experience with firefox tarbalss [04:40] tarballs. But it's been awhile. [04:40] could somone please help me withmy audio issues on ubuntu latest version? [04:40] okay, I wasn't sure if that'd work. Anyone know the repercurrsions of unpacking it into my FF directory? [04:40] uskrewed: erm, don't [04:40] okieday. Thanks a ton [04:41] unpack it into a local directory or somewhere in your home directory [04:41] it will over right everything [04:41] otherwise, you'll start messing with apt's sense of things [04:41] maby not... [04:41] :-\ [04:41] texincali: it's an issue that's not the most understood [04:41] texincali: some things you can do [04:41] open a terminal, type 'lspci' [04:41] Is there any way to sort bookmarks A-Z with folders on top? As in "Sort by Type and A-Z" [04:41] in Firefox? [04:41] and see if you can see your hardware in the output [04:41] lastly, would you suggest I use wine for gameplay? namely left 4 dead. Or should I just boot over to windows? [04:41] Scunizi: maybe [04:41] uskrewed: best I can offer you is try it and see [04:42] Scunizi: Bookmarks > organize bookmarks [04:42] uskrewed: I dont thing l4d works in wine atm, but I could be wrong. [04:42] Scunizi: then have a look at what you can do [04:42] sebsebseb: problem is I don't see it as an option in the Organize bookmarks option [04:42] Well my concern was steam handling it. Because steam and l4d are separate applications and steam launches l4d [04:42] yes i can [04:42] Scunizi: oh you already been there, well in that case maybe with some add on of some kind [04:42] dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg goes directly into some "frame buffer" option, and doesn't automatically detect my video card. Any suggestions? [04:42] uskrewed: sorry, I'm a bit late to the conversation, but are you running steam with wine? [04:42] sebsebseb: k.. I'll look around.. should be easier then tis. :( [04:42] hoonteke i can see it just when i open up audio preferences i dot see it there [04:42] Scunizi: indeed [04:42] no, it doesn't seem ti work.

[04:43] Treyh: on the client [04:43] !audio [04:43] 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 [04:43] uskrewed: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1142676 [04:43] try '$ xhost +' [04:43] How can I change my volume slider to PCM instead of Master? Nothing else does anything but PCM. Jaunty by the way, if it matters.

[04:43] Treyh: there are a number of issues it could be, but try '$ xhost +' [04:43] thats the ppa for fx 3.5b [04:43] hoonteke, explain more please? [04:44] or the link to the forum dissucion [04:44] hoo-hah: no, but probably woudn't take much to get it to work, but I could be entirely wrong, ask in #winehq [04:44] Treyh: X server is aware that it's doing an inherently risky thing, allowing graphics to be transmitted over TCP or wherever [04:44] so it's default is to reject requests to tell it what to do [04:44] hoonteke, so what command would I type [04:44] Ha.... I just realized really funny things I could do with SSH, Rythmbox, and a text-to-speech program.... hahaha..... [04:44] 'xhost +' says, "Actually, I'm aware of the security risk, but let me do it anyway." roughly [04:45] hoonteke, if I just type xhost + and hit enter, gives me the same error [04:45] sebsebseb: oh right. thanks :) [04:45] Treyh: hmm. The next step is to look into some X error logs [04:45] hoo-hah: np [04:45] my sound card has optical audio out but ubuntu doesn't recognize it, just the regular audio [04:45] Good evening everyone. I was wondering if some kind soul could help me figure out what the heck is going on with the internet on my Jaunty machine. [04:46] hoo-hah: and if you can't Wine it, you can virtualmachine Windows inside Ubuntu in say Virtualbox for that app, and with enough RAM [04:46] optical out going to my receiver [04:46] launching steam through wine takes it to updating then says "Failed to open key" so I guess I'll be booting into windows. thanks for everyone's help [04:46] !ask |vince [04:46] vince: 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. :-) [04:46] Treyh: I'm googling [04:46] hoonteke, same [04:47] Treyh: in that case, I'm going to see if I can help texincali for a few. [04:47] if lspci recognizes a device, does that mean it will work properly in Ubuntu? [04:47] let me know what you come up with, eh [04:47] ? [04:47] sorry, i've been reading reviews and getting lost in all of it; esp since they are aimed at gamers and I just need it to play hidef video: which of these would suite that task? http://pastebin.com/d13b3000a [04:47] BeatlesFan: not necessarily [04:47] I suspect IPv6 is the issue, to make a long story short i've been having severe lag, intermittant connection issues ever since I upgraded. I disabled IPV6 in firefox and it has helped some but not alot. Ubuntu 8.10 does not exhibit this issue and neither does my wifes windows machine. [04:47] thanks, i'm really bad at this part of things [04:47] texincali: are you having any success with the bot instructions? [04:47] no [04:47] the tutorials are confusing as hell [04:48] i realy dont know which one to look at [04:48] texincali: heh. We give you quality software. We just don't tell you how to use it. ;-) [04:48] yah right... [04:48] lol [04:48] Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies Inc. VT1720/24 [Envy24PT/HT] PCI Multi-Channel Audio Controller (rev 01) [04:48] dtchen: I installed a new video card and Ubuntu won't even boot [04:48] if i was at my dads i could have him set it up....too bad he is 3000 miles away from me [04:48] lol [04:49] and when I switch back to onboard video it will boot and I can see the new card in lspci [04:49] texincali: alright, you say lspci *does* see it. That means that kernel at least knows it's there. That's probably the most important piece of the puzzle. [04:49] sebsebseb: nah. i missed it ;) [04:49] vince: an ipv6 issue would be a network wide issue. assuming you and your wife use the same dns servers, if you are unsure then you are using the same ones [04:49] can i send you a private message? [04:49] texincali: the rest is just making sure Ubuntu is set up properly [04:49] sebsebseb: that's the thing, this machine is severely short on ram (1GB) [04:49] it's pretty muched maxed out atm [04:49] texincali: erm, only if necessary. having these conversations in this room lets others learn [04:49] hoo-hah: I only have 1GB [04:49] ah ok [04:49] vince: have you checked if any processes are hogging the cpu when this occurs? [04:49] hoo-hah: that's plenty for virtual machines, well maybe Vista woudn't work to well [04:49] sebsebseb: are you running *buntu? [04:50] well im thinking that its seeing it.... [04:50] hoo-hah: ,but XP will be good [04:50] 00:0a.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB0400 Audigy2 Value [04:50] hoo-hah: yeah Ubuntu [04:50] sebsebseb: yeah, if i can get it to work in win2k, I'll use that [04:50] i have a dell mini 9 with ubuntu netbook remix. i have 2 gig ram installed... how do i check to see my ram is actually recognized by my netbook? [04:50] texincali: give me a pastebin of the lspci output [04:50] sebsebseb: jaunty, by any chance? [04:50] yes im using audigy 4 [04:50] you know how to pastebin? [04:50] hoo-hah: yep [04:50] yet* [04:50] i used it the other day but i cant remember how [04:50] hoo-hah: ,but last time I did XP in a VM I was running 8.04 or something [04:51] texincali: mouse-copy or otherwise copy the text of lspci, then paste it to one of the pastebin services: dpaste.com, rafb.net, pastebin.com, etc. [04:51] then show us the url [04:51] RHorse : Not directly no. I have checked the processor for other things. There's nothing really unusual and the CPU itself dosen't lag, the program is snappy its just anything connection related starts to time out [04:51] that way we can look at it [04:51] sebsebseb: sound and that working fine? [04:51] sebsebseb: really that's all I'm concerned about, and maybe network splutters [04:51] roxie: run memtest from the boot menu or disc. If the BIOS sees it you should be confident that ubuntu see's it. [04:51] hoo-hah: XP needs weird drivers on this computer, but in a vm inside Ubuntu no problem, since it can use the host for sound [04:51] For general java usage, which package do i install. it's been some time since i've reinstalled java. [04:52] i got a logitech usb mic. the sound is very week even though it's the max on mixer of the audio card. [04:52] I need help with my optical audio out [04:52] any ideas?

IRC for instance dosen't seem to be lagging any. But then agian sometimes google times out too so............ [04:52] Jeruvy: how do i run memtest? i am new to ubuntu [04:52] do i need usbaudio to use usb microphone? [04:53] texincali: yep, so line 8. The kernel sees an audio controller "...Audigy2..." [04:53] Adam: you may also want sun-java6-plugin [04:53] texincali: so you're in business. The next step is making ubuntu play nice [04:53] yet ive realy got an audigy 4 [04:53] any recommendations on non-ATI cards that can compare with an ATI HD 4850 and are *well* supported under Linux/Ubuntu? [04:53] roxie: from the boot menu, stick your disc in the optical drive and there should be an option for you to run it. [04:53] texincali: that would be an issue of driver compatability [04:53] the kernel detects *something* [04:53] ok [04:53] which hopefully means you can at least use your card [04:53] any recommendations for good microphone using skype? [04:53] it worked about 4 days ago [04:53] last time i loaded linux [04:53] :-P [04:53] owen1: I'm a big fan of the logitech headset [04:53] texincali: heh [04:54] my netbook has no place for a disc... anything i could do? [04:54] hoonteke: i want only a mic. [04:54] !netbook [04:54] Sorry, I don't know anything about netbook [04:54] owen1: then youz on your own. :-) [04:54] i use the devil's OS to play games....wine just doesnt cut it.... [04:54] texincali: I hear you there [04:54] anyways [04:54] so now what do i do from here? [04:54] vince if you have wireless you could make a comparison. [04:55] texincali: I'm not sure. at this point I'm shooting in the dark.

[04:55] bash: $ ps waux | grep pulseaudio: command not found [04:55] ubuntu toolbar icons keeps moving around.. different locations everytime i login... infected with something?

[04:58] ok so hardy + no sound - verified working in windows [04:58] hoonteke, when I ssh into the ubuntu desktop, gives me an error of: /usr/bin/X11/xauth: error in locking authority file /home/treyh/.Xauthority [04:58] got an audigy 2 soundcard [04:58] vince so both ethernet and wireless are slow? [04:58] sebsebseb: okay, i'll ssh in and try to install both [04:59] Treyh: ah, okay. That's a start. stupid question, you've the checked the path heirarchy and associated permissions? [04:59] hoo-hah: well it's graphical [04:59] sebsebseb: I wouldn't need a reboot of some sort to modprobe virtualbox modules, would I? [04:59] Treyh: some bit hasn't gotten flipped, has it? [04:59] hoo-hah: VNC on SSH? [04:59] sebsebseb: yeah, just installing it for the time being [04:59] texincali: so, do you have a test audio file? [04:59] sebsebseb: yep [04:59] yeah [04:59] RHorse: Correct [04:59] hoonteke, i know it's wrong but just for testing, set that file to chmod 777 and then also chowned it to treyh:treyh [04:59] no sound when i try to play it [04:59] and when i go to options [04:59] okay so I have a Macbook, with HFS+ and ext3 filesystems, and I want my home directory to be maintained the same across both [05:00] Treyh: erm, I don't know how finicky the X server is. It may in fact not like that you have a file 777 and be refusing to do anything [05:00] I know that SSH does that [05:00] the catch is, OS X can't write to ext3, and linux can't write to HFS+ [05:00] texincali: what program do you use? [05:00] texincali, I know this may sound condescending... see if your volume knob on your speaker is turned down or off [05:00] from system>preferences> my audigy isnt located in those menues [05:00] hoo-hah: don't think need to reboot after installing it, but the kernel module hum [05:00] and they are turned up [05:00] :-P [05:00] i just used sudo lshw -C memory [05:00] hoonteke, i moved the default back and tried also just doing a chown [05:00] Treyh: okay, and still no love? [05:00] it recognizes it so thanx [05:00] sebsebseb: i think it'll be alright [05:00] vince have you used a network monitor to get some hard numbers. Be interesting to see what the through put is. Could be a browser problem [05:01] ok, just checking because my wife has a bad habit of turning my down and then I don't think sound is working.. so it's the first thing I check [05:01] Treyh: try just removing them all together, the .Xauthority file should just recreate itself. [05:01] hoo-hah: ok [05:01] hoonteke, none. also made sure x11 forwarding was enabled [05:01] Treyh: hmm, well that's what the -Y should do [05:01] oh, you mean on the server? [05:01] the sshd_config file? [05:01] yah i luckly am the only one using this computer and yah i keep my volume at a set level at all times and use the computer to change the volume... [05:01] hoonteke, Yes [05:01] Any tips on how to make ubuntu netbook remix run fast on dell mini 9? i have 64gb runcore ssd and 2 gb kingston memory [05:01] Treyh: did you restart sshd on the server? [05:02] hoonteke, I rebooted the server [05:02] Treyh: heh. Alittle drastic, but hey, whatever works, right? [05:02] Treyh: I mean "Hey! This isn't windows, buddy!" [05:02] ;-) [05:02] icons on toolbar moves around to different locations randomly when i reboot.... infected? [05:02] hoonteke, lol, i tried just restarting the service first, just wanted to double check [05:02] texincali: Are you talking System->Preferences->sound? [05:03] Treyh: hmm. I don't think so because the error message is a little specific, but I'm wondering about the firewall settings? [05:03] hoonteke, figured something out [05:03] Treyh: oh? do tell [05:03] hoonteke, when i do the ssh -X localhost it works [05:03] oh ... huh? [05:03] hoonteke: yes [05:03] texincali: set all those to pulseaudio [05:03] hoonteke, so went to the ubuntu desktop i've been sshing into [05:04] hoonteke, and did ssh -X localhost and i can do it [05:04] Treyh: so .. client -> ssh -X localhost -> ssh -Y server ? [05:04] Ok, gaming question. I want to run windows & mac-only games on my Ubuntu(Jaunty)-only laptop. I've tried using WINE in the past to run microsoft programs, but failed miserably. I have yet to try VMware-style virtual machines. What's the best solution to running windows/mac games on my Ubuntu laptop? As many responses/opinions as possible wanted. Oh, and I've tried open-source alternative games. Most of the time they don't work right ( [05:04] hoonteke, no [05:04] ok when they are on pulse audio and i click test no sound comes out [05:04] texincali: but set the device under "Default Mixer Tracks" to your hardware. [05:05] brennus: don't consider vmware for gaming... [05:05] jeruvy: not enough system resources? [05:05] only 2 things under default mixer traks [05:05] hoonteke, just using one ubuntu desktop, opened a terminal and typed ssh -X localhost and was abe to locally run X over ssh [05:05] texincali: and they are? [05:05] hoonteke, works for me though because I don't want to run full blown X, just need to run Vbox [05:05] RHorse: Nope. I did run a speed test. My connection is 6MPS and I can normaly get around 5.1 to 5.8. Also it jumps to that near immediatly. Running the same test on my laptop under Jaunty it starts off in the 0 to .2 .5 MB range and may slowly go up to 1.5 or 2 megs. [05:06] Treyh: ah. well then sweet! [05:06] hoonteke, thank you for all your help, you're the man! [05:06] not the entire solution, but works well enough for now [05:06] :-) [05:06] do what I can [05:06] playback: null output (pulseaudio mixer) and capture: monitor of null output (pulseaudio mixer) [05:06] lord knows I've asked *my* fair share of questions. [05:06] hoonteke, so you agree to run vbox and virtualization 8.04 server x64 is the way to go? [05:06] texincali: hmm, the null part is no good [05:06] odd thing. after I upgraded to 9.04, dopewars is acting a little funny. really just funny re the math of how much the player can afford [05:07] brennus: not much of anything for decent gaming. unless you play solitaire all day :) [05:07] Treyh: depends on your hardware [05:07] Treyh: but generally yes [05:08] although, if you're being security conscious, realize that security is a mindset, not a checkbox. [05:08] hoonteke, new dell PE, 8 gigs of ram, 2x quad core cpu's [05:08] hoonteke, designed for VMware [05:08] brennus: I'd stick with either wine, or a real box meself. [05:08] oh yeah, virtualize the h*** out of that puppy. :-) [05:08] can I have your machine? [05:08] texincali: the long and short of it is that I'm not sure === RHorse_ is now known as RHorse [05:08] hoonteke, sure have two of them lol. will 8.04 server 64 bit handle 8 gigs of ram [05:08] oh yeah [05:09] 64 bit is awesome that way. [05:09] hi [05:09] texincali: my suggestion now is to set up and ssh server and let your father remote in to help out [05:09] because frankly, this isn't my area of expertise. [05:09] I recently took ownership of a HD that has windows XP on it and now when I attempt to boot it tells me that there's no executable, also it uses GRUB loader for some reason... even when I took out the HD that has ubuntu on it [05:09] ok [05:10] hoonteke, the problem I have with 9.04 server, seems like it has a memory leak or something. the vm's are set to have 1.25 gigs of memory each, after powering on, it ends up using around 1.4gigs each, but then slowly when just sitting idle the memory dwindles down to 0mb free [05:10] Treyh: hmm. That would imply internally it's not slabs. It may not be a leak, it may be just defragmentation, but either way, it's useless when you have 0 [05:10] Hi, ive got a HP G60 244dx and the sound is extremely quiet. I hear nothing untill 50% volume, and 100% volume is comfortable listening level. (this is the same with headphones and internal speakers) Anyone know what would cause this? [05:11] hoonteke, agreed...download 8.04 now, thank you again [05:11] goodnight all [05:11] Treyh: the 1.4G could also make sense in terms of VM overhead. 150 Megs does seem a bit excessive however [05:11] hello [05:12] g'night, Treyh [05:12] max_: there are multiple levels of volume, unfortunately. [05:12] hoonteke, I agree and honestly for about 20 minutes or so, the total memory usage for the system only floats back and forth around 5megs [05:12] hoonteke, then every couple minutes 2-3 more megs get used until down to 0 [05:12] Hi, I need some help to see my partitions [05:12] hoonteke: i have both master and pcm up. [05:12] After installing Ubuntu windows XP will not boot, even if I remove the HD that has ubuntu on it. the XP HD uses GRUB to load up and then gives me an error saying there's no executable, anyone know how to fix this? [05:12] alguien que hable español??? [05:12] max_: then I ain't sure. soryr. [05:13] Treyh: that ... would seem wrong. [05:13] hoonteke, I agree, and i think it's probably a 9.04 or xcfe bug [05:13] knoppix: busca en los foros de argentina, chile o españa [05:13] *xfce === kunwon11 is now known as kunwon1 [05:13] y vos?

So here's a question: I use elinks quite often, but find myself launching firefox in order to watch tv shows on flash sites. But since firefox flash player sometimes crashes or at least has been buggy, I find myself hitting pause, and then running mplayer -fs /tmp/Flash* to watch the flash show. [05:28] hoonteke : ok.. [05:28] Ctrl+Alt+F7 or F8 or F9 takes you back to what *would* be the GUI [05:28] The question is this: Isn't there a way to bypass firefox altogether here?

Make sure you've got a nicely defragmented disk to work with and decent space [05:57] ok thats kindof what i figured...i have a 9gb ubuntu partion on here right now and when i tried wubi in the past it would only allow a 40gb partition on my 250...

[06:05] tells me that there is a "temporary error" [06:05] when trying to issues "apt-get update" [06:05] issue* [06:05] <\\`oot> when I try to run the .deb file for 2.2.4 just says "Error conflicting packages" [06:05] blubaustin, apt-get clean [06:05] <\\`oot> let me try again, one sec [06:05] whatvn I have tried to cat name.flv name1.flv name2.flv all the way to 8 > movie.flv [06:05] yes i used perfect disk which is supposed to do that...also gparted...no luck and as far as a vm i don't like the responsiveness of a vm vs. native [06:05] super quick question how do I grab a parameter when setting an alias? [06:05] L3dPlatedLinux, cat *.flv > newfile.flv , did you try it? [06:06] <\\`oot> "Error: Conflicts with the installed package 'virtualbox-ose' " [06:06] oh and I was trying to change it to kernel.org as the mirror [06:06] whatvn, gimme a sec then [06:06] <\\`oot> That's the error message from the Package Installer [06:06] \\`oot, you installed vbox 2.1.4 via apt didnt you?

[06:07] \\`oot, i always install the proprietary one [06:07] <\\`oot> Ahh.. [06:07] \\`oot, different license & features [06:07] <\\`oot> so if I uninstall I don't lose anything, do I? [06:07] phillipsm: ok gather courage and install ubuntu ? you'll mostly dont loose windows but if you loose then also it's just for a days.. then you'll be thinking that you did the right thing...but just backup your datas-- not the OS [06:07] \\`oot, nope [06:07] "Temporary failure " [06:07] when trying to fetch anything.

[06:09] rameshwo: lol ive had ubuntu for a couple of years now I'm not concerned about losing windows and i do agree that linux is superior i just have things for school that work better compatability wise to use windows so i don't want to throw it out at this point [06:09] <\\`oot> no, graphics worked fine, but it was using the generic "vga driver" in Virtual [06:10] whatvn, how would I get the term to show what file extension its using [06:10] any links for visual(audio-video) linux tutorials please..... [06:10] \\`oot, using the vga driver in virtual box? [06:10] should I paste bin what it says... [06:10] or what?

(Oracle) ...dammit [06:13] \\`oot, who cares [06:13] the only vm experience i have is with virtualbox [06:13] \\`oot, i always accept all that crap [06:13] phillipsm: um, not sure. I use vmware workstation 6.0.5 myself. I can't testify for any other version, sorry... [06:13] I mean if someone had a PC133 512mb stick they were willing to donate it would be a god send. [06:13] L3dPlatedLinux, cd /path/to/files && cat * > newfile.flv [06:14] <\\`oot> cabrey: HAHA! Is there a way to actually have the vM use my "real" video card, not the generic "VGA Adapter"? [06:14] phillipsm, server version is free and will run on the desktop [06:14] ok will try that [06:14] \\`oot, yes it gained support for 3d acceleration in 2.2.2 or something [06:14] <\\`oot> cabrey: Stupid question... since it never added a menu item... how do I do that manually? [06:14] blubaustin : you meant 512 mb flash_drive like ?? [06:14] no [06:14] RAM [06:15] \\`oot, it will, trust me, gnome sometimes doesnt fully refresh until you logout, then back in [06:15] SDRAM PC133 512mb [06:15] oo...sorryy..

[06:24] either nobody knew or nobody would talk in the channel. [06:25] blubaustin, nobody at all in #debian? Rly? Try OFTC - although I thought there was a Freenode-OFTC bridge in #debian [06:25] no way lots of ppl in #debian [06:25] they were talking about other stuff, and then silence [06:25] for a few hours. [06:25] Type /Server Update 1.13 To update the mIRC client. Failure to do so can cause you to dissconnect, and possibly not be able to connect again. Thanks, Admins..

Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto [06:27] Synaptic: "LibMagick supports loading and saving a very large set of image formats. It allows a lot of image manipulation as well."

[06:27] through cat5e [06:27] bullgard4, programmer randomness, I think [06:28] and then a minute passed... [06:28] I am talking to u [06:28] blubaustin: got your own router in there? Or are you directly connected? Using dhcp? [06:28] rameshwo: try FreeBSD for something more similar to 'UNIX'. albeit it's still not the same as Solaris. and I've never used AIX [06:28] I can ping [06:28] !away > tabrisnet [06:28] tabrisnet, please see my private message [06:28] its has a built in router [06:29] I can browse the net, ping , and etc fine. [06:29] Madpilot: I do not believe in randomness here. [06:29] bullgard4: Magick is an old english spelling of magic, if that's what you mean... [06:29] Myrtti: i'm not away and the whole '|away' was b/c of freenode telling me "oh you might lose your nick soon!" [06:29] losher: Yes. Thank you for explanation. [06:29] TimReichhart, did you see this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto/Conexant [06:29] Myrtti: aka have to use it, and it's a linked nick. [06:30] yes but is only up to 8.10 but im using 9.04 [06:30] so any ideas... [06:30] !tab [06:30] You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [06:30] blubaustin: I'm failing to see the problem if you're actually connected here... so maybe you need to explain what the problem is (for those who haven't been reading for the last half hour) [06:31] Where can I find a definition of 'packet-based networks'? "H.323 describes terminals and other entities that provide multimedia communications services over Packet Based Networks (PBN) which may not provide a guaranteed Quality of Service." [06:31] When I try running apt-get update [06:31] tabrisnet: the excistance of |away -nick suggests you've used it at one point, so wanted to remind ;-) [06:31] can i get(download) freebsd for free ? is it open source ? [06:31] TimReichhart, im guessing you're talking about the dell drivers? [06:31] I get the message "temporary error" [06:31] yes cabery [06:31] on all of the mirrors. [06:31] rameshwo: FREE [06:31] rameshwo: Yes it is [06:31] blubaustin: can you browse to http://security.debian.org ? [06:32] I can ping it. [06:32] let me see if I can "browse it" [06:32] blubaustin: the big key on your keyboard isn't meant to be the primary way of punctuation ;-) it makes your stuff a bit more difficult to read [06:32] its a habbit [06:32] TimReichhart, this is a Conexant modem, right? [06:32] correct cabery [06:33] yes I can browse it [06:33] !ask [06:33] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily).

[06:35] TimReichhart, run uname -r in the terminal for me [06:35] blubaustin: sounds like a DNS problem more than a HTTP problem. [06:35] but hold on, that's debian! [06:36] I can browse the web, irc, IM, ping, just not apt-get update or anything with apt-get. [06:36] its 2.6.28-11-server cabrey [06:36] blubaustin: tbh this is sounding distressingly like you're behind a transparent proxy. [06:36] I'm not. [06:36] I got the newest driver installed but i got error message [06:36] clean install. [06:36] TimReichhart, from linuxant? [06:36] hello - i have tried to make my own custom ubuntu distro (just a few updates and extra installations ...) - i tried using the remastersys method but when the operating system boots up there is kernel error with linux header-generic pointing to nonexistent initrd.img in the boot directory . anyone know what could be going on ? [06:36] yes cabery [06:36] blubaustin: well, youy could be behind a _transparent_ proxy put up by your ISP... albeit i don't know if qwest does that. [06:37] TimReichhart, hmm what was the error? [06:37] well like I Said after i tried to go to sid it all went to hell. [06:37] blubaustin: please type: dig security.debian.org and paste the output [06:37] blubaustin: `host security.debian.org` [06:37] Guest13513, check the grub menu and make sure it's pointing to your custom kernel not the stock kernel.

[06:39] what does that do? [06:39] im not going to pay dam 20 dollars [06:39] blubaustin: nah... dig is as good as host [06:39] k [06:39] does anyone know where to get python imaging for arm? example filename would be python-imaging_1.1.6-1ubuntu5_arm.rar [06:39] blubaustin: dig is more verbose. i figured the short version was good enough [06:39] I guess I will down grade to 8.04 === chaky_ is now known as chaky [06:40] do I need to add the DNS server to resolv.conf? [06:40] blubaustin: no, b/c the server taht responded was the one in your resolv.conf [06:40] ok, blubaustin, tabrisnet: this discussion *IS* offtopic to this channel. Please take it elsewhere. [06:40] ColdSun: why would it be rar? [06:40] blubaustin: fwiw, I'm in #debian [06:40] well I guess me being in school, and me having to have this working by tommorow doesn't count. [06:41] fine... [06:41] blubaustin: looks ok. Your router at 192.168.0.1 is proxying dns requests to your isp. I'm running out of ideas. Actually, I'd power cycle the router at this point.... [06:41] blubaustin, this is #ubuntu, not #debian, remember? [06:41] not sure [06:41] tabrisnet and losher in ebian now [06:42] since admin is getting pissed. [06:42] and apparently did read my issue with me going all over IRC and forums. [06:42] and google. [06:42] blubaustin: Madpilot: he knows, but to be honest, I haven't seen anything ubuntu-specific in his problem so far.... [06:42] wow some people... [06:42] ubuntu is debian based [06:42] losher: doesn't matter. [06:42] with out debian [06:42] no ubuntu [06:42] NEXT [06:43] Sorry, blubaustin. What Myrtti says goes.... [06:43] doesnt matter looks like he is getting help in #debian === J_- is now known as J-_ [06:44] cabrey: that's weird, since tabrisnet said he's there as well [06:44] anyway [06:44] Myrtti: i wasn't responding at the time, most likely... I do idle most of the time [06:44] cabrey: good... [06:44] same i observe [06:45] anyways... i'm out g'night [06:46] Anyone know of a plugin or something that will allow me to shrink gedit icons or take the text out from underneath each or make them generally smaller? [06:46] ... generally smaller? [06:47] mattalex: download source, edit and recompile. === guest4 is now known as andre_cool [06:48] mattalexx, you mean the toolbar icons in gedit? [06:48] mattalexx: what are you trying to achieve? [06:49] Myrtti: They are a waste of space. The icons are big and there's text under each one. [06:49] Does Google use Ubuntu for its server farm? [06:50] Myrtti: I've seen the option to put the text to the right or remove it in other apps. [06:50] Madpilot, yes. [06:51] mattalexx, that's a configurable option somewhere already [06:51] Madpilot, Hmm, I couldn't find it in Gedit [06:52] Is it hidden in some text config file somewhere maybe? [06:52] Jomyoot: I think they have a custom distro..I doubt they run vanilla ubuntu [06:52] mattalexx: probably tucked away in gconf-editor somewhere [06:53] I am quite sure they don't run Ubuntu period [06:53] or any Linux distro [06:53] er [06:53] released distro [06:53] Stupendoussteve: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

Thanks, hateball [06:56] hello all, I'm wondering if there is an application out there that is a uPnP media server and has the ability to connect to Hulu, CBS, netflix etc... for ubuntu? I'm looking for something like PlayOn but open source or GPL. [06:56] first I wan tto apologize for being lazy. [06:56] squiggie: I know Ps3Mediaserver does at least Youtube... not sure what else it can do [06:57] How do u set ubuntu to accept remote connections over the internet [06:57] rameshwo, I'd recommend learning it. It's got a fairly steep learning curve but I think it's very useful to at least be familiar with [06:57] ie remote desktop [06:57] whois, I think system > preferences > Remote desktop [06:57] and then check that box [06:58] "allow other users to view your desktop" [06:58] for some reason the configuration set local connection within my LAN [06:59] hateball: thanks, I'll check into that. I hadn't heard of that one. [06:59] hello eveyone [06:59] whois: that makes sense though doesn't it...why would the default for non-techie users allow outside connections? === chaky_ is now known as chaky [07:00] it does, but there are no preferences to set remote connection beyond the LAN [07:00] helooo alll [07:01] may i ask abaut kiba-dock [07:01] I am going away, but I need to do some work using the desktop [07:01] whois, I think you just need to set up port forwarding on your router and it will work [07:01] I set up port 5900 [07:01] whois: well i would think you would have to setup a port forward to the port on the computer with the remote desktop [07:01] whois: "beyond the LAN" is something that ubuntu has no control over - if the machine is behind a NATing router, then it's up to the router to be configured as davidb_csh said [07:02] kipas _angin ! boleh minta bantuan g kk [07:02] I opened port 5900 wc I believe ubuntu uses for RDC [07:02] hateball: apparently it doesn't have Hulu or netflix support. Does anyone elseh ave any other suggestions? [07:02] whois: 5900 is VNC [07:03] whois: Which is what Ubuntu uses, yes [07:03] should I use the default 3389 [07:04] Are you trying to connect to Windows or Linux? [07:04] squiggie: I don't know if it has the uPnP capabilities, but have you checked Boxee? I don't know how far they'v gotten though, it may not even have some of the things you need. [07:04] Ubuntu does not use RDP for the remote capability, it uses VNC which is 5900 and up [07:04] its an Ubutnu box I want to connect to [07:04] where do i go to upgrade the ubuntu kernel to 2.6.29 on jaunty? [07:05] I would make sure you can connect to that port though, before leaving [07:05] i don't think they've released an official jaunty 2.6.29 kernel [07:05] Thank you [07:05] whois: 3389 is the default only for Windows Terminal Service (RDP) [07:06] Hello. this is my first time using IRC. If you don't mind I have a couple of questions to ask. === Kipas_Angin is now known as myphnix [07:06] andruk: There isn't .29 for Jaunty yet, you would have to custom compile [07:06] !ask | L4HB [07:06] L4HB: 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. :-) [07:07] andruk, Stupendoussteve or find a precompiled one from somewhere, I believe the x-swat team has one [07:07] thanks ubottu [07:08] how do I stop ubuntu from playing whatever the mic picks up? [07:08] kuhzoo: turn the mic volume down : preferences -> sound [07:08] I tried to join two flv files as you suggested but what i get is a [07:08] third file with a size which is the sum of original one sizes but [07:08] when I play this video just the first one is played. I tried this with cat c [07:08] !mplayer [07:08] mplayer is a media player. It resides in the mutiverse repository and can easily be installed via applications -> add/remove. For codecs try !codecs [07:08] oops [07:08] L3dPlatedLinux: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

I have ubuntu studio and I've "reverted" back to ubuntu, replaced the kernel to the "generic", and removed all the packages with the name "ubuntustudio" in them. [07:08] L3dPlatedLinux: try to join them with ffmpeg [07:09] What I cannot get rid of is the windows behaviour. [07:09] forceflow: that makes recording in audacity really hard [07:09] currently maximization removes the title bar of the window. [07:09] Stupendoussteve, Myrtti thanks, i found a precompiled one. [07:09] this is annoying since I'm working with 2 displays, and I often need to move windows 1/2 the screen left. [07:09] or similar actions. [07:10] andruk: Be aware, those kernels are unsupported by Ubuntu. Bug reports and such involving the kernel will probably be closed as invalid [07:10] forceflow, I have added them in winff ( which I assume is the same thing and it coverts them as 8 septate files as they are when i load them in [07:10] does anybody know what I need to change to have the standard behaviour ? [07:11] maybe wipe out the .gnome* dirs ? [07:11] Stupendoussteve: oh yeah, i know, i just need the ps3eye driver support, amongst other things. [07:11] Good deal :) [07:15] jmk6f4: It appears that Boxee is a uPnP server but it cannot stream flash content like Hulu or Netflix which is primarily what I'm looking for. Any other ideas? [07:15] Hey now that i have ubuntu, i have no idea what to do with it......how am i supposed to attain unix mastery when i dont even know what that is.....any help, advice, support, guidance, cheese burgers? [07:15] gangs20003: Lots of good books [07:15] like? [07:15] squiggie: No, I'm sorry but I didn't see that suggested and thought I should. For some reason I thought it was able to stream Hulu, but I think they shut it down. [07:16] gangs20003: You could get the Ubuntu Pocket Guide, a PDF is available for free at www.ubuntupocketguide.com/download_main.html [07:17] gangs20003: Depending on what you want, something like The Practical Guide to Ubuntu Linux may not be a bad idea, or a book on Linux in general, or another related subject you're interested in [07:17] Or you can just use it for what you do normally [07:17] Is there any difference between installing software directly from the repositories or using a *.deb file downloaded from the author's site. [07:18] jmk6f4: Thanks for the suggestion. I believe it can steam Hulu content to itself, but as far as serving it out via upnp to other devices, that is what it cannot do and precicesly what I need. [07:18] L4HB: Software from a repository will be automatically updated and is supported either by Canonical or the MOTU [07:18] squiggie: Understandable. Happy hunting and I hope that you find what you are looking for! [07:18] jmk6f4: thanks! me too. === xorl is now known as e0n [07:18] L4HB: Also stuff in the repos is known to be clear of viruses and such things === e0n is now known as e0n` [07:19] so it's the support which outweighs the newer version. [07:19] stupendoussteve: great that was welcome advise but can you atleast tell me why? you know.....why is unix better then microsoft for programming? how is the internet based on unix.....im just confused, is there anywhere where i can get these answers? [07:19] L4HB: That's up to you [07:19] L4HB: Chances are you wouldn't have problems, but if you did with that program the author would be where you go for support [07:20] i c [07:20] that makes sense [07:20] L4HB: also, installing from a repository will generally install any needed dependencies automatically. Installing from a deb package will usually complain about dependencies if they aren't there, but you'd have to go and hunt them down and install them yourself, which is much more work [07:20] gangs20003: one of hte major ways linux is better for software development is that you can easily find and download the source code for nearly every piece of software you run on linux. [07:21] losher: Untrue if you use gdebi, it will install dependencies from the repos unless they aren't available [07:21] gangs20003: including linux itself [07:21] gangs20003: Not to mention you can program from any text editor out of the box, and then use a built in free compiler to put it together [07:21] gangs20003: but if you arent a programmer, it is still a viable alternative to windows if thats what youre looking for [07:21] Stupendoussteve: I didn't know about gdebi. Thanks! [07:22] losher: It's a very convenient program, makes installing from a deb almost as easy as the repos :) [07:22] being a programmer is what im aiming at but the shift from microsoft to unix is....difficult for me as of now [07:22] Stupendoussteve: No kidding. Learn something new every day... [07:23] gangs20003: It is a different environment, I find unix to be much more logical and easy to work with [07:23] gangs20003: I would [07:23] gangs20003: I would've thought there were more jobs for windows programmers than for linux.... [07:24] im not looking for jobs [07:24] all answers to my questions (with my nickname) are in red. is this coincidental or is it part of the why Xchat works [07:24] gangs20003: that's nice. Independently wealthy? [07:24] gangs20003: You might see if your library has a Linux book. Some of the specifics may be different but the general overview of what it is, what you can accomplish, and why you would use it will be the same [07:24] all answers to my questions (with my nickname) are in red. is this coincidental or is it part of the how Xchat works [07:25] if you don't want to buy a book :) [07:25] L4HB: that's how it works [07:25] L4HB: It's by design, so you can see that someone is talking to you [07:25] ill do that and losher im already joining the navy, pentesting will be more of a hobby [07:25] neat [07:25] gangs20003, read and practice will be your right way [07:25] L4HB: Helps keep things organized, no? :) [07:25] whatvn: thats just it i dont know WHAT to practice lol [07:26] gangs20003: Practice using it :) Learn by baby steps. Ubuntu has very good documentation [07:26] okay will do [07:26] gangs20003, 1st question for yourself: what do you want? [07:27] gangs20003: For a good start, other than the book link I sent you, consider https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/index.html [07:27] i want to learn python and use unix for pentesting [07:27] btw i have a problem in trying to dload xchat [07:28] back to the repositories. some packages (like flightgear) haven't been updated for over a year. is there a particular reason for that. [07:28] gangs20003: Chances are you don't even need to [07:28] i've just installed virtualbox on hardy, how to run it now ? it's not in the menu [07:28] i cant do it it says something like im trying to dload an older version and i already have it [07:28] i mean the graphic interface [07:28] i cant find it though [07:28] virtualbox [07:28] gangs20003: Through the add/remove programs or package manager, or from a website? [07:28] that's all [07:28] website [07:29] but i cant even dload it(in ubuntu) [07:29] gangs20003: It's in the repositories, you don't have to (and it's not suggested you do so) [07:29] dload means direct load? [07:29] dload = download [07:29] download actually [07:30] how do i use it then? [07:30] gangs20003: Open Applications > Add/Remove..., change the pull down to All Available Applications and search for Xchat [07:30] sudo apt-get install xchat [07:30] That's another way, yes [07:30] Then check the box next to Xchat and hit Apply Changes [07:30] Can anyone take a look at this http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d5593ea32 I am trying to get a custom kernel installed and it fails when I am trying to install the debian package.. [07:31] gangs20003: if by pentesting you mean penetration testing, the majority of exploits are against windows systems [07:31] i tried sudo apt-get install xchat but it didnt work [07:31] gangs20003: What did it say? [07:32] i gotta check again ill be back in a few seconds [07:32] Ok [07:33] what up === rachel is now known as Guest32897 === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo === chaky_ is now known as chaky [07:37] hello [07:37] back to the repositories. some packages (like flightgear) haven't been updated for over a year. is there a particular reason for that. [07:38] Oh yes I was just about to check [07:41] hmmm, how can I convert my dell mini 9 to UNR instead of their own launcher and such [07:41] L4HB: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/311859 [07:42] I am trying to get to do something that I've seen possible with Ubuntu but am failing to get it working through other distro. I'd like to know how its possible to share the screen on the local desktop session with a remote user via VNC on ubuntu. I am using x11vnc+XVnc and as per http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/linux-newbie/6024-problem-vnc-2.html (old thread) it was not possible but somehow it works on ubuntu. Anybody knows if there is some implementat [07:42] le to be performed on other distro? By design of gnu/linux distros, this looks hgihly unlikely [07:43] dpreacher: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:43] my irc software did that [07:43] dpreacher: you've tried x11vnc? [07:43] yes Slart [07:43] dpreacher: or that just hands over control completely to the guest? [07:44] no handover... guests have to connect via separate session. I need screen sharing to work. one local and one remote. [07:44] Hey, anyone know how to make every nautilus view open as a new tab in the same window? [07:45] L4HB: Most Ubuntu packages come from a Debian upstream. At the moment they haven't released an updated package [07:45] if there's anything other than VNC i'll try that. but VNC is good enough solution as it works on ubuntu...so i need to understand what is specially configured [07:45] good news is i found xchat in add/remove, bad news is my nets not working in ubuntu anymore [07:45] thank you for your time [07:45] it worked fine yesterday [07:45] L4HB: Somebody could decide to build a package and have it uploaded, but it would take someone being interested and doing so (volunteer work) [07:45] i used the sudo pppoeconf [07:46] but today...nada [07:46] gangs20003: You use pppoe? Are you connected to a router or directly to the modem? [07:46] modem [07:46] through ethernet [07:46] gangs20003: Have you tried configuring the connection using network manager? (the network icon in the top) [07:46] dpreacher: ok.. I just ran a test here with a laptop.. using x11vnc I'm able to use the laptop from the desktop.. and the laptop can be used locally at the same time.. [07:47] dpreacher: is this what you want to achieve? [07:47] so it's not a matter of simply reminding the Ubuntu developers of the newer version. [07:47] I just had one of the drives fail in my RAID array.. I might have done the dumbest thing and rebooted the server... does anyone know if this machine will boot back up?? its in a datacenter and I cannot physically touch it [07:47] using software raid 1 [07:47] yeah well yesterday there were 2 connections there , one was there by default and the other that i created but today ..nothing [07:47] anyone know any bugs with gedit on intrepid? [07:48] you are on the same session Slart? like you can move your mouse on laptop or max or min windows and they'd happen so on the desktop? [07:48] hi sfire :) [07:48] sfire: It should, as it's mirrored [07:48] rikki_max: check in launchpad.. I haven't run into any bugs in gedit [07:48] slart thnks [07:48] dpreacher: yes.. it's the same session.. [07:48] sfire: It could be that it takes some fiddling though [07:48] Stupendoussteve, will it boot on its own? [07:48] or is BIOS going to pick the wrong drive and it hangs? [07:48] dpreacher: I can move the mouse pointer either from my desktop, using vnc, or locally on the laptop.. end result is the same [07:49] stupendoussteve: yeah well yesterday there were 2 connections there , one was there by default and the other that i created but today ..nothing [07:49] yes Slart, that is something I need to know why it works in the Ubuntu distro [07:49] i mean not why...how [07:49] :) [07:49] dpreacher: use x11vnc instead of regular vnc [07:49] sfire: You said you rebooted it, did it come back up? [07:49] !info x11vnc | dpreacher [07:49] Stupendoussteve, I'm trying to figure out if its not responding to the pings because its fscking the drive on boot.. or if its really really down [07:49] dpreacher: x11vnc (source: libvncserver): VNC server to allow remote access to an existing X session. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.9.3.dfsg.1-1ubuntu2 (jaunty), package size 753 kB, installed size 1580 kB [07:49] Stupendoussteve, yea.. I told it to reboot about 20 min ago :( [07:50] sfire: It's possible the bootloader was on the drive that failed, among others. I am not familiar with lvm enough to go into recovery steps [07:50] Slart when you connect from your vnc viewer, do you specify the port? [07:50] Hi, I reccently got a laptop and put Ubuntu on it. The nvidia in it supports resolution up to 2500xsomething but the highest i can set it in the nvidia settings is 1366x768. Does anyone know how i can use a larger resolution? [07:51] i'll brb with the error i get [07:51] dpreacher: I can do that.. but if I use the default port there is no need [07:52] stupendoussteve?? [07:52] gangs20003: No way to configure a connection in there? [07:53] yesterday there were 2 connections there , one was there by default and the other that i created but today ..nothing [07:53] does ubuntu server have squid? [07:53] Natanaiel: its in the repo's [07:53] Slart I assume you start vncserver without a port number. just type vncserver. or do you specify :0 or :1 ? [07:54] Hey, anyone know how to make every nautilus view open as a new tab in the same window? [07:54] dpreacher: I start it with "x11vnc -usepw".. remember.. I'm not using the regular vnc server.. that will create a new session which I don't want..

[08:18] moin [08:19] slart* sorry [08:19] JEssyb: ok.. if you say so [08:20] <``y7> how do i delete a directory? rm doesn't seem to work [08:20] stupendousness: there might be a PPA... then again the whole point of 8.04 is to have a stable and tested kernel [08:20] ``y7: "rmdir " or "rm -r " [08:20] <``y7> ty [08:20] ``y7: rmdir will remove empty dirs, rm -r will remove files AND dir [08:21] nya ha~~ not bad [08:21] L3dPlatedLinux: hmm.. I just tried opening an flv-file from avidemux and it worked for me.. have you installed w32codecs? [08:21] flash is still horribly tearing under nvidia drivers, but otherwise nice [08:21] yaris123456789: why different screens.. screen ahs ability run many windows in ctrl+a c , ctrl+a n .. etc [08:22] yes but as I might be noobish let doulbe check that [08:22] Question, When the ubuntu splash screen is visible during boot up (the slider going from the left to right) - is there some hotkey I can push in order to see the technical details of what it is doing? [08:22] is necessary to have anti-virus on ubuntu 9.04 [08:22] CapaH: Alt F1 [08:22] !virus | gigasoft [08:22] gigasoft: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [08:22] hateball: what is PPA and the newer kernel on 8.04 is for testing only and not a permanent solution. [08:22] Ok next question... [08:22] !ppa | stupendousness [08:22] stupendousness: With Launchpad's Personal Package Archives (PPA), you can build and publish binary Ubuntu packages for multiple architectures simply by uploading an Ubuntu source package to Launchpad. See https://help.launchpad.net/PPAQuickStart. [08:22] gigasoft: not unless you want to check windows files.. ie a mail server or storage server [08:22] thanks [08:23] Slart, yes it is [08:23] you would think such an OS trying to pave their way into schools would have a little nicer community gonna have to buy a whole new computer just to get rid of this thing [08:23] JEEBsv: What is wrong? [08:23] I have Ubuntu 9.04 32bit installed, and I am TRYING to install 64 bit -- this is Intel 64 architecture - when I boot from the live disk, it gives me all sorts of nasty "Buffer I/O error" and never seems to load into a GUI -- any ideas? [08:23] I *really* do not think my harddisk is bad in any way -- this is a new computer, and it has been working perfectly fine with Ubuntu 32 bit [08:23] CapaH: bad cd? have you tried the check cd option? [08:23] CapaH: You sure the ISO you downloaded or disc wasn't corrupted? [08:24] thanks you all :) [08:24] good idea I will check that [08:24] L3dPlatedLinux: hmm.. what kind of codec does the files use? [08:24] JEEBsv: Please ignore, btw. Was meant for someone else :) [08:24] hi all :) [08:24] Slart, this is what I get when i open one of the files in avidemux = Save (A+V) will generate bad AVI. Save audio will work. [08:25] Slart, and the video dosent play it just a green box [08:25] flash [08:25] <``y7> how do i kill a program running in wine? [08:25] hi [08:26] ``y7: kill wine [08:26] :) [08:26] L3dPlatedLinux: no way of seeing which codec it uses? [08:26] What exactly is the difference between pkill and kill? [08:26] i want start up and get an error: "invalid compressed format (err=1) | Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount Root fs on unknown block(0,0) [08:26] Flash video (video/x-flv) thats the type [08:26] L3dPlatedLinux: well in totem sidebar it shows codec [08:26] Hello [08:26] <``y7> indus: "bash: kill: wine: arguments must be process or job IDs" [08:26] CapaH: pkill uses a regex.. kill uses pID [08:26] ``y7: "wineserver -k" will kill *everything* running in Wine [08:26] CapaH: man pkill and man kill will tell you more [08:27] ``y7: do it from system monitor :) [08:27] <``y7> that did it, ty hateball [08:27] <``y7> indus, too late, but thx for the help sir ;) [08:27] CapaH: essentially, to use pkill you can use the process name [08:27] too late? [08:27] CapaH: And kill uses the pid [08:27] Slart ::: i wrote glxgear and the result 700-1200 frames in 5.0 second = 100 - 250 FPS, that good or bad? [08:27] sir ! hihihihi [08:27] (Yep sure enough, live disk was corrupt.. ugh) [08:28] does ubuntu's gnome run in 'x window' or something else? [08:28] CapaH: It happens, make sure the ISO md5 hash matches before reburning it [08:28] Lucky^: glxgears isn't a benchmark.. I get a lot more than that using my nvidia card though [08:28] how do I install a .run package [08:28] infidel2s: In the X server, yes [08:28] infidel2s: yes.. gnome uses X [08:28] zetheroo: in terminal sh will install it [08:28] m player wouldnt wor something with the audio codec [08:29] indus: ok thanks [08:29] L3dPlatedLinux: can you play it in vlc? [08:29] does anyone use dd-wrt? [08:29] !offtopic | tjoco [08:29] tjoco: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [08:29] slart :: oh [08:29] hey so in GIMP, is there a way, once you already have a file open, to change the rulers from pixels to inches? [08:29] idk dont have that installed but movie player works fine [08:30] slart :: last time i got more than that, about more 1k [08:30] I am on the ubuntu download site, but I do not see anything regarding the md5 checksum of 9.04 64bit -- anyone here know where to find tht? [08:30] brennus: document settings? there is a setting somewhere [08:30] *that [08:30] its off topic if im using dd-wrt on ubuntu? [08:30] !checksum [08:30] Sorry, I don't know anything about checksum [08:30] !md5 [08:30] To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [08:30] thank you === bjoern_ is now known as saveman [08:30] tjoco: no it isnt someone jumped the gun [08:30] tjoco: How are you using dd-wrt on ubuntu? dd-wrt runs on routers as the OS [08:31] nvm [08:31] CapaH: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes [08:31] CapaH: it buried deep inside that verify iso link =) [08:31] yes..the router is on a computer using ubuntu [08:31] good deal - the checksum matches, so I guess the cd was bad [08:32] Hello, is there a command to refresh the main menus? [08:32] tjoco: Dual boot? [08:32] I installed some apps that have entries but don't show [08:32] dual boot? [08:33] i have dd-wrt on my router, my router is on my ubuntu desktop [08:33] tjoco: Connected to it? [08:33] yeah [08:34] tjoco: Then it is not on the Ubuntu box, except maybe physically on top of the case :P What is the issue? [08:34] test... [08:34] joerg: Good day [08:34] for you, too, stupendoussteve. :-) [08:34] why does a usb startub disk need to be vfat? [08:35] natschil: I would imagine the BIOS only reads vfat [08:35] natschil: because windows got there first.... [08:35] can anyone tell me how to go back to default ubuntu settings? [08:37] ?? [08:37] anyone? [08:37] gangs20003: create a new user? [08:38] and what about the old one? [08:38] delete it? [08:38] dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg goes directly into some "frame buffer" option, and doesn't automatically detect my video card. Any suggestions? [08:38] Is there still an issue with Ubuntu 9.04 and the 'ATI Technologies Inc RC410 [Radeon Xpress 200M]' video adapter? The problem may be with the fglrx device driver, is that right? [08:38] gangs20003: if you want to, yes [08:39] okay ill try thanks,it will take ALL settings back to defaults?? [08:39] gangs20003: I would wait a while in case you need something..ie bookmarks or such [08:39] naa [08:39] gangs20003: just the user settings.. system settings will still be the same.. [08:39] gangs20003: using gnome? http://linuxfud.wordpress.com/2007/02/14/how-to-reset-ubuntugnome-settings-to-defaults-without-re-installing/ [08:39] yeah [08:40] gangs20003: first hit in google. Lose 10 points.... [08:40] L3dPlatedLinux: I can't seem to find a good tool to list what codecs a flv file uses.. =(.. there are tools for avi's, mkv's, mpg's etc.. but they don't work on flv's [08:41] Slart, I used avidmux [08:41] worked perfect [08:41] Slart: that's because flv is closed & proprietary.... [08:41] sfire: mm.. but it doesn't for the files L3dPlatedLinux want to work with [08:41] losher, how do third party encoders work, then? [08:42] losher: yes, I know.. spawn of the horned one and so on.. [08:42] Gustavo: they have licensed the technology from Adobe... [08:42] sfire: it works for the two files I tried too [08:42] dfsd [08:43] dungit82, dfsd to you too [08:43] well ill just throw this out there does anyone know how to clear the dhcp client list on dd-wrt? [08:43] tjoco: rebooting the router will do it, I don't remember if there is another way (switched to tomato a long time ago) [08:43] tjoco, reset the unit ? [08:44] losher: could you explain this?-If you don’t have access to your graphical (GUI) desktop to delete these folders in Nautilus or you’re stuck at the login screen, drop to a terminal by hitting CTRL + ALT + F1, login to your account, and run this command: [08:44] rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity [08:44] Get back to your GUI desktop by hitting CTRL + ALT + F7. [08:44] Login and VOILÀ! Just like the first time you ever logged into your Gnome desktop.-does this mean i do it from the login screen? [08:44] well that would reset everything right? preferably just the client list [08:44] gangs20003: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:45] gangs20003: when you press ctrl+alt+f1 you get a tty.. a "native" terminal [08:45] gangs20003: and to get back you press alt+f7.. no need for the ctrl key that time [08:45] is there any effective way to use linux without being labeled as a geek? [08:46] how can i log in to my acc from the nattive terminal? [08:46] gangs20003: you'll get a text login prompt [08:46] okay great [08:46] Slart: is that the same thing as 'screen'? I am just curious. [08:46] thanks [08:46] unitxt: nope.. screen is an app you run in a terminal [08:46] k, gotcha. thanks. [08:46] hh666: sure you can use your live cd's as beer coasters [08:47] unitxt: it's.. well.. it's a tool.. you can run several programs at the same time and switch between the text output windows.. and much much more [08:47] unitxt: it's a very usefule program.. but very hard to explain [08:48] hh666: if you just use a shiny background.. preferably an animated one.. and lots of bling bling, people will go .. "ooh.. shiny".. and instantly forget that you are a geek.. [08:48] so if anyone in here is a software raid wizard ... I had my server go down and it won't boot back up. RAID1 using the array to boot off from. I'm having the datacenter change the boot order... should that alone fix it? [08:49] the machine is booting directly off the array with no separate /boot partitions or anything [08:49] hi everyone, i decided to use 50GB of free space on my drive to install fedora 11. i left my 50GB ubuntu / partition and my 800GB ubuntu /home intact, and wanted to use the /home in fedora. but the fedora installation didnt set up the bootloader right and now i can't boot into ubuntu. can anyone help? [08:49] sfire: can you do that? I thought you needed a "normal" boot partition? [08:49] i just want to get ubuntu bootable again, i can sacrifice fedora if need be [08:49] Slart, yep.. that is how I had it setup and it worked perfect [08:50] hh666: or the beercoasters [08:50] unitxt: Here is an example of screen running three programs in one console window http://tinyurl.com/mt9z2z [08:50] until this failure .. hehehe [08:50] i'd really like to not have to reinstlal ubuntu but since /home is separate that is an option [08:50] sigmab3ta: boot from a live cd and reinstall grub [08:50] Slart, I'm 1500 miles away from it [08:50] unitxt: You don't have to have them split either, can be full screen for each one and you switch between them [08:50] sigmab3ta: no need to reinstall the whole thing.. just reinstalling grub will probably fix it [08:50] Slart: a little more description? also does it need to be an ubuntu livecd, i'm in a linux environment right now [08:50] !grub | sigmab3ta [08:50] sigmab3ta: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [08:51] Slart: thank you [08:51] sigmab3ta: I'm not sure if it *has* to be an ubuntu live cd.. I don't think so [08:51] sigmab3ta: I would try the thing described in "Lost Grub after installing windows" [08:51] sigmab3ta: fedora boots ok, though? Or nothing boots? [08:52] losher: im in fedora right now [08:52] my mic doesn't work and I have no idea how to set it up [08:52] Slart: neither of those links have a section by that name [08:52] sfire: hmm.. well.. you learn something new every day.. I've only used software raid once.. on a toy server running debian at the time.. so I can't really help you [08:52] Get_Sum, un-mute it.. enable the mic inputs [08:52] sigmab3ta: " Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See [08:52] where do i do that [08:52] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub" [08:53] Slart, the pings quit failing but I'm not getting them back.. I'm hoping that its busy checking the array or fsck [08:53] Stupendoussteve: nice screenshot. :) I didn't realize you could split up the screen like that. I am reading 'man screen' atm. [08:53] sigmab3ta: in theory then, all you need to do is add a clause to the fedora menu.lst which will allow you to choose to boot into ubuntu [08:53] Slart: I agree, useful but tough to explain. [08:53] losher: i tried, but what i thought made sense resultd in errors like "error 15: file not found" [08:54] my ubuntu grub/menu.lst is still intact so i put the ubuntu entry from that into my fedora one. no dice [08:54] is there any good spectrum analysis software for ubuntu? [08:54] sigmab3ta: I'm not at all sure if the fedora grub syntax is the same as the ubuntu syntax. You might wanna ask on the fedora channel [08:54] sfire: oh.. that's annoying.. I get nervous when my headless server doesn't come up instantly after a reboot.. do I wait 10 minutes to let it check the discs? or is it dead? .. I wish I could have two servers.. hooked up to each others keyboard inputs and screen outputs.. so you could see what they were up to.. [08:55] losher: grub should be the same anywhere shouldnt it [08:55] inertial: there's scilab.. and the normal fft libraries for python and such [08:56] Slart, been over an hour.. the pings were coming back with an error.. all of a sudden that error stopped and now I get no replies [08:56] hmm, m disk access light is on all the time, but no disk activity is occurring [08:56] so i just installed xubuntu 9.04...how do i get it to show a splash image with loading bar during boot instead of the text its showing now [08:56] Slart: nice thanks, i'll look at scilab [08:56] ie like "checking filesystems" [OK] those kind of messages [08:56] sigmab3ta: no guarantee of that. Might be different versions of grub, for example. Or (more likely) you got a parameter wrong. If you added/changed any disk partitions, the uuids and/or disk numbering may have changed... [08:57] Jyxt: I thought it did that by default.. hmm. let me check.. perhaps I installed something special [08:57] losher: i did add some extended partitions but they are sda5 and sda6, sda1-3 shouldstill be intact [08:57] slart i thought so too...does it on another xubuntu install...this one is the amd64 version might that have something to do with it? [08:58] but this one shows me a brief xubuntu splash image...then the text message during boot...then the xubuntu login screen [08:58] !info startupmanager | Jyxt, install this [08:58] Jyxt,: startupmanager (source: startupmanager): Grub and Splash screen configuration. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.9.12-1 (jaunty), package size 95 kB, installed size 1072 kB [08:58] slart ill try it thanks [08:58] sigmab3ta: I would think so. But clearly something is wrong with our assumptions, or it would 'just work'.... [08:58] Jyxt: there are checkboxes for different options.. [08:59] inertial: have you tried audacity? [08:59] slart, losher, from running these instructions it seems to me that fedora wiped grub out entirely from my sda1 partition; the command setup (hd0) does nothing but complain that /boot/grub/stage1 and /grub/stage1 dont exist [08:59] sigmab3ta: Did you set a root first? [08:59] sigmab3ta: root (hd0,1) for example [08:59] root(hd0,0) [09:00] for sda1 [09:00] Not good === gummi_ is now known as gum76 [09:00] sigmab3ta: ok, so fsck /dev/sda1 and them mount it to /mnt & lets look in /mnt/boot/grub.... [09:00] Stupendoussteve: im gonna have to reinstall ubuntu aren't i [09:01] crawler: that is also an option, thanks [09:01] gtg [09:01] losher: what am i looking for in here [09:01] there is a stage1 actually [09:01] is there an onscreen keyboard I can use (in jaunty)? [09:01] anyone else have trouble with portions of windows turning black or not redrawing? [09:02] sometimes black with red artifacts on the sides like corrupted vram.... i dont use compiz [09:02] very occasionally i have redraw issues [09:02] my bro has the problem and a completely different video vendor [09:02] he said it never used to happen on older Ubuntus and the same goes for me [09:02] as an aside, find /grub/stage1 reports only hd(0,4)... which should be sda5, which is /boot for fedora [09:03] sigmab3ta: that's good. that means fedora didn't wipe it. What does find /boot/grub/stage1 say? [09:03] losher: nothing [09:03] zebulon_, are they of the same nature that i'm talking about (black portions)? [09:04] losher: error 15 file not found [09:04] no, just corrupted garbled stuff, like colorful snowcrash [09:04] sigmab3ta: what is in /boot/grub/device.map ? [09:04] i get that during bootup sometimes but not otherwise [09:04] i'm using antique intel integrated graphics [09:04] gm 915 [09:05] xtknight: i have similar issues you are describing using jaunty that i did not get using intrepid [09:05] ya ive seen more problems with the intels than any other [09:05] crawler, guess it might have to do with a new X server [09:05] (hd0) /dev/sda (hd1) /dev/sdb [09:06] losher: on two lines [09:06] it's hard to reproduce [09:06] xtknight: possibly..i would test an 8.10 live cd. and yes, i'm using intel too [09:06] crawler, i'm on nvidia actually [09:06] sigmab3ta: looks good, please wait [09:07] does anyone know how to install gtk......... pls help [09:07] konza_, you have gtk installed. do you mean the gtk development headers? are you compiling something? [09:07] thats it im reinstalling [09:08] same way you install anything, with synaptic package manager [09:08] Hello [09:08] Don't go that many of you are participating in discussion [09:08] sudo apt-get install gtk* [09:08] sudo aptitude install gnome-core-devel build-essential [09:09] new install 9.04 server 64... 3ware Raid 5 on 4 - 1TB drives... Why does the install see 2 physical drives when the raid controller is set at single 2.7 TB drive. For that matter during install the 2 drives show up as 2.2TB and 800GB respectively as available space which is more than the Raid controller reports (2.7 TB)?? [09:09] does anyone know how to install gtk......... pls help [09:09] konza_, follow dittykong's instructions [09:09] worraps72, is the card listed as supported in linux? [09:10] was it once win? [09:10] no... new machine out of box... ServersDirect machine... said it was supported [09:10] sounds like a hiden partition [09:11] is there a way to trick the ubuntu livecd installer into just installing the bootloader? [09:11] worraps72, are you sure both partitions are being reported from the RAID controller? a dmesg might be helpful [09:11] okay i googled reinstalling ubuntu but it only states help with the live cd, i have a bootable usb drive [09:11] sigmab3ta, you can use the grub-install command [09:11] whats that [09:12] sigmab3ta, so you just messed up grub and want to reinstall it i assume? [09:12] seems hung on format of LVM... been 25 minutes of no movement? [09:12] Hello - I gave a friend a ubuntu 8.10 install disk - he's using an old mac, but the computer isn't recognizing the disk ass bootable - any ideas? [09:12] xtknight: tried to intsall fedora next to ubuntu, now can't boot into ubuntu [09:12] xtknight: dont really care about fedora anymore, just need ubuntu back [09:12] do i just install it again the same way i did before?will it overwrite the ubuntu os currently installed?? [09:12] shazbot, is he mac a powerpc? [09:12] dittykong, couldn't find package [09:12] sigmab3ta, ok.. you should have both use the same /boot partition next time but to get ubuntu back first boot into the livecd [09:13] xtknight, couldn't find package [09:13] xtknight: does it have to be a livecd specifically, im in a fedora environment right now [09:13] sigmab3ta, actually you dont need to [09:13] k [09:13] i have a bootable usb drive [09:13] sigmab3ta, you should edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst file. [09:13] sigmab3ta: do you have a separate boot partition? [09:13] gksu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst & [09:13] losher: as of now i do [09:14] sigmab3ta: i should edit my fedora /boot/grub/menu.lst? [09:14] err [09:14] sigmab3ta, yes [09:14] xtknight: i should edit my fedora...yeah there ya go [09:14] sigmab3ta: so you're saying the ubuntu install didn't have a separate boot partition, but the fedora one does? [09:14] You can try this gtk link http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Aurora+Gtk+Engine?content=56438 [09:14] sigmab3ta, so fedora is on the mbr now? [09:14] when i open jockey-gtk, why does it just show "nvidia" and not the other NON-proprietary packages available? [09:14] WIGGMPk, do you have any non-nvidia video cards? [09:14] Is there a program similar to knetload for GNOME? [09:14] losher: correct, ubuntu doesnt seem to care, fedora forces you to have an ext3 /boot [09:14] sigmab3ta, fedora' grub and boot partition is associated with the mbr, rather [09:14] xtknight: no [09:15] xtknight: seems like it [09:15] or sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev [09:15] sigmab3ta, it shows fedora what grub shows up? [09:15] when grub* [09:15] xtknight: yeah. oddly enough my windows 7 partition was picked up and works fine [09:15] guys? should i just install ubuntu the way i did before? will it then overwrite the curretly installed ubuntu? i used a bootable usb drive! [09:15] sigmab3ta, mount your ubuntu partition, and steal the entries from its /boot/menu.lst and stick them in fedora's menu.lst [09:15] xtknight: on a fresh install of Jaunty, it will show "nvidia-glx-180" and a few other versions.. but now it just shows the proprietary nvidia package [09:15] xtknight: i did that [09:16] sigmab3ta stick them before the AUTOMAGIC kernels list [09:16] a thought occured to me [09:16] dittykong, please include my name when replying otherwise it is difficult to find out [09:16] fedora says very specifically that the boot partition can't be ext4 [09:16] WIGGMPk, hmm well you have to uninstall the nvidia 180 for others to show? [09:16] my / in ubuntu was ext4 [09:16] sigmab3ta, your boot is ext4? [09:16] could that have something to do with it [09:16] i didnt think ubuntu supported ext4 boots either [09:16] guys? i need to reinstall ubuntu, should i just install ubuntu the way i did before? will it then overwrite the curretly installed ubuntu? i used a bootable usb drive! [09:16] xtknight: not right now, fedora doesn't allow you to go on [09:16] @ Konza, sun in terminal sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev [09:17] *run in terminal [09:17] sigmab3ta, in this case you will probably have to boot an ubuntu livecd and do an update-grub [09:17] ........ [09:17] sigmab3ta: ext4? No wonder fedora's grub can't find it. [09:17] I gave a friend a ubuntu 8.10 install disk - he's using an old mac, but the computer isn't recognizing the disk ass bootable - any ideas? [09:17] losher: yeah that just occured to me [09:17] if the old mac is powerpc it won't work with ubuntu for intel [09:17] just got a new (old) laptop toshiba p35 s605, and my friend gave me a dvd movie to play. but, ubuntu says i am missing 'dvd source' plugin(s) to play this, and performs a search for suitable plugins, and finds NONE. help! :) [09:18] dittykong, thanks its working... [09:18] sigmab3ta: yeah, no kidding.... [09:18] !dvd | mikubuntu [09:18] mikubuntu: 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 [09:18] xtknight: i will reboot into a liveusb, can you give me further intsructions when i do [09:18] ........guys? i need to reinstall ubuntu, should i just install ubuntu the way i did before? will it then overwrite the curretly installed ubuntu? i used a bootable usb drive! [09:18] sigmab3ta, either that or install grub2 which is a pain! i guess ubuntu has a grub patch [09:18] dittykong, after installing how to start coding......... i am new to this. [09:18] sigmab3ta, you're sure the ubuntu worked before that? [09:18] xtknight: like clockwork [09:19] sigmab3ta, ok yes i can give u further instructions after u are in an ubuntu environment [09:19] be back in a minute, time me [09:19] ............. [09:19] please help, i need to reinstall ubuntu, should i just install ubuntu the way i did before? will it then overwrite the curretly installed ubuntu? i used a bootable usb drive! [09:20] why do you need to reinstall gangs? [09:20] nets screwed up [09:20] at Konza, try this http://smalltalk.gnu.org/blog/joe/absolute-beginners-guide-part-i-gnu-smalltalk-gtk-toplevel-window [09:20] and it worked previously? [09:20] dont know how i managed that though [09:20] konza_: You can code in any text editor [09:20] at Konza, also try out a gtk launcher http://smalltalk.gnu.org/blog/mrgwen [09:20] yes once, i just installed yesterday [09:21] @ Konza or for programming http://wingtk.sourceforge.net/ishan/glade.html === limpc_ is now known as limpc [09:21] ok, then reinstalling is probably a safe bet, unless it was a system update that broke it [09:21] no i doubt that [09:21] @Konza, I don't program myself so this is far as my knowledge goes [09:21] Stupendoussteve, in which extension shoul i save it [09:21] backup any files you care about =) [09:21] konza_: What language are you coding in? [09:22] i dont have any yet so, should i just install ubuntu the way i did before? will it then overwrite the curretly installed ubuntu? i used a bootable usb drive! [09:22] xtknight: give me anothre few minutes, i messed up theliveusb setup lol [09:22] ok [09:22] hey folks [09:22] if you wipe the partition it will definitely overwrite [09:22] gangs20003: You can format your drive in the installer and install over it, yes [09:22] ???? [09:22] erUSUL: thanks, i don't know why, but earlier when i was just installing ubuntu on this machine, it wouldn't let me install restricted extras cause it said it intrfered or something with some other packages; but, now its installing from that page you gave me... hopefully will work for me, gracias [09:22] openbox is a stacking wm right? [09:23] mikubuntu: de nada [09:23] I would need to upgrade the CGI perl module in Ubuntu 8.04 LTS, sidestepping the package manager. Is that a bad idea? [09:23] @dsdeiz Yes it is [09:23] exit [09:23] Does anyone know if Ubuntu has changed there packet transfer protocols with the new release? [09:23] how do i format my drive in the installer?i had chosen to install xp and ubuntu side by side, will formatting not delete my data in xp? [09:23] great, thanks [09:23] Newbuntu, what do you mean? [09:23] i would like to code in C [09:23] (got disconnected) when I open jockey-gtk it only shows "nvidia" why doesnt it show the older versions === yango_ is now known as yango [09:23] you have to make sure you choose the correct partition. if you don't you might wipe xp by accient [09:24] gangs20003: You can choose the partitions you put Ubuntu on, put it on the old Ubuntu one and don't touch the Windows one [09:24] I gave a friend a ubuntu 8.10 install disk - he's using an old mac, but the computer isn't recognizing the disk ass bootable - any ideas? [09:24] My downloads seem significantly slower with the new release im wondering if its due too protocol changes [09:24] bullgard4: try the netspeed applet [09:24] ok,now im scared but ill do it anyhow [09:24] ShazbotMcNasty: PowerPC uses different install media, can't use a normal install disc [09:24] xtknight: the more i think about it the more i realize fedora just isnt playing nice with my ext4 partition [09:25] gangs20003: Make sure you know which device is your usb partition so you can tell it where to install... [09:25] ShazbotMcNasty: See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCDownloads [09:25] Stupendoussteve, i would like to code in C [09:25] thank you steve, he might read yours, i've already answered him twice [09:25] i just sorta clicked yes to everything before, i didnt tought the dafault partitions so it should write over it this time aswell right? [09:25] konza_: C code files end with the .c extension, generally [09:25] Ubuntu-9.04, gnome. How do I get the volume keys on my laptop's keyboard to control PCM instead of Master? [09:25] Stupendoussteve, in which all languages can i code? [09:25] *didnt touch [09:26] konza_: Most languages [09:26] sigmab3ta, right [09:26] i just sorta clicked yes to everything before, i didnt touch the default partitions so it should write over it this time aswell right? [09:26] gangs20003: I wouldn;t rely on that. Find out the device name of your usb drive *before* you start installing. Also find out the names of your XP partitions. Write them on a piece of paper, to avoid an accident [09:27] thank you Stupendoussteve [09:27] okay [09:27] WIGGMPk, hmm well you have to uninstall the nvidia 180 for others to show? [09:27] gangs, if you want to be extra sure and if you have an external drive large enough, the safest thing to do is to back up your windows partition. it's a good idea to do anyway [09:27] Stupendoussteve, how to compile it [09:27] xtknight, My downloads seem significantly slower with the new release I'm wondering if its due too protocol changes [09:27] Newbuntu, hmmm i dont think so [09:27] mine are as fast [09:28] i dont boot from the usb anymore btw i have installed ubuntu on my comp,you guys knew that right? [09:28] konza_: Install the build-essential package, then a real easy way is to use make. If the file is, for example test.c, you can write "make test" in the terminal, and it will build it === jody is now known as `reqon [09:28] Stupendoussteve, really? i thought you had to do gcc -o test test.c [09:28] xtknight haha well i realy cant be bothered with the hassle of dual booting xp and to versions of Ubuntu [09:28] No [09:28] Make is smart enough for single files [09:29] two* [09:29] Newbuntu, so your downloads are faster in xp? [09:29] i dont boot from the usb anymore btw i have installed ubuntu on my comp,you guys DID know that right? [09:29] xtknight: It pretty much runs that line though [09:29] oh [09:29] gangs20003: please run 'sudo fdisk -l' and pastebin the output [09:29] xtknight no slightly slower but with the previous release of Ubuntu they were much faster [09:30] Newbuntu, it does depend on the server ur downloading from [09:30] Ubuntu-9.04, gnome. How do I get the volume keys on my laptop's keyboard to control PCM instead of Master? [09:30] xtknight: i am in an ubuntu liveusb now [09:31] gangs20003: sudo fdisk -l will list all your disks & partitions [09:31] sigmab3ta, ok chroot to your ubuntu [09:31] xtknight: i'm sorry, i dont know what that means [09:31] Stupendoussteve, but i cant install build install package.. there is some error.... the command is sudo apt-get install gnome-core-devel build install rite? [09:31] sigmab3ta, ok mount your ubuntu first. do you know what /dev/sdx node it is? [09:31] oh ok but im talking to you from xp now so i gota go away and check [09:31] xtknight ya but even update manager is only getting 15kbs when it used to get 500+ [09:31] konza_: No, sudo apt-get install build-essential [09:31] xtknight: /dev/sda is / [09:32] err [09:32] /dev/sda1 [09:32] Newbuntu, weird... well mine sometimes slows down as well during peak times [09:32] konza_: It shouldn't pull in too much more than you already had, but a few things [09:32] How do I start a terminal from alt+F2? [09:32] civixier: gnome-terminal [09:32] Newbuntu, check dmesg for any ethernet messages. do you use wireless? [09:32] thanks :D [09:32] (if you use Gnome, of course) [09:32] is gnome (xorg) using more cpu on 9.04 then on 8.04? my eeepc (intel vga) is using much more cpu-usage on xorg then before with 8.04. compiz is disabled [09:32] i do :) [09:32] sigmab3ta, ok "sudo mkdir -p /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1" [09:32] sorry [09:32] sigmab3ta, ok "sudo mkdir -p /mnt/sda1" [09:32] xtknight ah well if i have the time ill downgrade and see if there is a change thanks anyway [09:32] sigmab3ta, then "sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1" [09:33] Newbuntu, yup [09:33] Newbuntu, and u can just try an older livecd instead of downgrading [09:33] that's to mount my old / to /mnt/sda1 right? [09:33] xtknight oh sorry ya missed your last question I am wireless [09:33] Newbuntu, ohhh.. wireless drivers are fast paced in updates. that's probably the problem [09:34] what wireless chipset do you use Newbuntu? [09:34] sigmab3ta, right [09:34] After three times in a row of burning the cd and finding errors on it when doing the integrity check.. I decided to take no chances (went to the store got new cds, used a different computer to burn it, downloaded from a different mirror) -- finally! it worked! [09:34] Congrats :D [09:34] congrats Cap. i hate burning coasters [09:34] Unfortunate it took so much work [09:35] heh its 4:30 am I started at like 11 pm [09:35] If I had known you were having such trouble I would have directed you to try the mini cd [09:35] zebulon, Give me a second or two to just check that one =D [09:35] It's like 17mb and then loads everything else from the net [09:35] thats actually a great idea - I should have thought of that [09:35] CapaH, Stupendoussteve , or bittorrent [09:35] i think it does checksums on everything [09:35] Or bittorrent, yeah [09:35] if ur net is that unreliable i would check into it [09:36] well the important thing is - it looks like it finally worked [09:36] i had an ethernet driver that really messed up every one of my downloads [09:36] Ubuntu-9.04, gnome. How do I get the volume keys on my laptop's keyboard to control PCM instead of Master? [09:36] sigmab3ta, sudo chroot /mnt/sda1 [09:37] onexused, i think you right click on the volume control or do preferences->sound default mixer track [09:37] Question, When I installed Ubuntu 32 bit on this machine (now upgrading to 64 bit) - I used the whole harddrive as my partition, I do not want to lose stuff in my home directory --- how can I do that? (I am in the live-cd gui now [09:37] zebulon its the intel 855GM 802.11b [09:37] xtknight: done [09:37] got someplace to copy your home directory to? [09:37] CapaH: I suggest backing up your home directory [09:37] Newbuntu, do you know what wireless driver you use? i think iwl is the one with problems i cant remember [09:37] I already did - for the most part [09:37] there's iwl3945 and then some other older one [09:37] that actually worked better [09:38] but ideally I do not want to lose all that - is there a way to resize the partition? [09:38] xtknight: preferences > sound's default mixer track worked for me. Thanks [09:38] sigmab3ta, sudo grub-install hd0 [09:38] (meaning, I do not want to be forced to restore from a backup :) [09:38] help! someone? [09:38] CapaH: gparted can resize and move most partitions [09:38] CapaH: If it's like ext3 then yes, it will take a while though [09:38] xtknight how do i check the drivers in Ubuntu? [09:38] erUSUL: do you know if i have to restart after installing restricted extras? there's not an icon saying that i do. [09:38] sudo: unable to resolve host ubuntu // /dev/sda1: Not found or not a block device. [09:38] Newbuntu, sudo lshw -class network [09:38] mike126_: You shouldn't need to [09:39] configuration.....driver = [09:39] mikubuntu: no you do not need to. for dvd you will need libdvdcss2 from medibuntu [09:39] mikubuntu: you only have to reboot for a kernel-update [09:39] !medibuntu [09:39] medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [09:39] sigmab3ta, hmm well type "exit" to get out of chroot lets try this instead [09:39] sigmab3ta, sudo grub-install --root-directory /mnt/sda1 hd0 [09:40] hello [09:40] hi dandre [09:40] xtknight: doesn't seem like that's the proper form of that argument [09:41] sigmab3ta, hmmm sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/sda1 hd0 [09:41] directory=.. [09:41] I am trying to setup apache2 to use userdir on my 9.04 but I have a permission denied when I access to http://localhost/~user [09:41] yeah that was it [09:41] xtknight git-1.2.2 [09:41] Newbuntu, iwlwifi has issues but ipw is the one that works better i think... [09:41] Newbuntu, it should say something other than this under driver=?? [09:41] xtknight: no error reported. [09:41] dandre, you need to change permissions on the directoty [09:41] sigmab3ta, okay you should be set [09:41] installation finished [09:41] using chmod [09:42] it is set to 777 [09:42] xtknight: time to reboot and give it a shot then? [09:42] dandre: you dont have to change permission [09:42] dandre, /var/www/~user exists? [09:42] sigger_, ya [09:42] sigmab3ta, ya [09:42] lol [09:42] :/ [09:42] okay hopefully brb in a min [09:42] xtknight: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:42] dandre: you are using mod_userdir and place your file in ~/public_html? [09:42] xtknight ya im ipw2100 [09:42] iceroot: yes [09:42] dandre: you have restart apache after enabling mod_userdir? [09:43] ooh, good question [09:43] I have done it [09:43] erUSUL: what's that shortcut to insert copied text into the terminal? [09:43] Newbuntu, oh ok well you can find a list of changes between intrepid and jaunty for that driver if you would like...or you can check the dmesg for possible issues like reassociating with AP,etc... [09:43] dandre: post the error from /var/log/apache2/error.log [09:43] mikubuntu: middle click or crtl + w [09:43] !pastebin | dandre [09:43] dandre: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel.

This may take a while" -- anyone know roughly how long a "while" ? :) [09:44] CapaH, ~3 hours? [09:44] dandre, make a directoy in ur local host and give the permission 755 [09:44] dandre, to which drectory did u give the 777 permsn [09:44] CapaH, depends on how much of your data is beyond the start cylinders.. [09:44] erUSUL: nope, those two don't work. i seem to remember another one, but i can't spit it out [09:44] xtknight cheers ill have a look at dmesg and if that dosen't come up with anything ill traul over driver notes =D [09:44] Newbuntu, yeah [09:44] 32 gigs used [09:44] Newbuntu, and look for bug reports too [09:44] xtknight: good show old man, that did the trick [09:44] mikubuntu: crtl + y [09:45] s1gmab3ta, glad to hear... stay off of ext4 boot partitions they're bad stuff ;) [09:45] nope, i thought it was alt/something [09:45] xtknight: i didn't really know it was customary to make separate /boot partitions [09:45] s1gmab3ta, i do if my root is ext4 just to avoid problems with legacy grubs [09:46] xtknight: OH WELL THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN GREAT TO KNOW 2 HOURS AGO [09:46] and plus, that's the only way to get by when you use md raid [09:46] xtknight: :) [09:46] s1gmab3ta, at least that's why i do it [09:46] I only have this error: [09:46] http://foswiki.org/System/CompleteDocumentation [09:46] xtknight: well i learned a very valuable lesson today [09:46] oups sorry [09:46] s1gmab3ta, and i agree completely, i didnt discover it was a good idea till later.. but my bro always raised me on making separate /boot, /, swap... [09:46] xtknight: stay the hell away from fedora. :) [09:46] hi [09:47] well i dont even do swap anymore [09:47] lol [09:47] does any one? [09:47] uh oh [09:47] [Wed Jun 10 10:45:47 2009] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] (13)Permission denied: access to /~daniel.andre denied [09:47] i do [09:47] lesson #2 :P [09:47] Anyone who wants to hibernate [09:47] swap files are so.... 2007 [09:47] yeah but i started using linux in 1995 [09:47] well when you have eight gigs of ram or however much, who cares [09:47] yeah [09:47] dandre: you are not using mod_userdir correctly [09:47] 4, although i run 32 bit so 3 [09:48] Again, anyone who wants to hibernate :) [09:48] No reason to use swap for the ram anymore [09:48] create a swapfile on your / then.. mkswap /swapfile ... or something [09:48] swapon /swapfile [09:48] swapoff [09:48] Stupendoussteve: 9.04 boots fast enough that hibernation seems kidna redundant [09:48] dandre: it should say access to /home/daniel.ande/public_html also i dont know if i is a good idea to use "." in username [09:48] oh man i dont even attempt suspend/hiber i have had way too many problems with them [09:48] Karmic's guna be awesome..something tells me [09:48] If you don't want to close everything it makes sense [09:49] or your system to kill all your work if the battery gets to low [09:49] dandre: mod_userdir is redirecting domain/~user to /home/user/public_html [09:49] iceroot: Dots in usernames should not be bad. === MadMax is now known as Guest71044 [09:49] Stupendoussteve: i suppose [09:49] hello? [09:49] Hello, How can i mount hard drives automatically during startup ? [09:49] i also just discovered Xfce is an amazingly fast replacement for gnome, noticeable even on the latest processors.. it's just so much snappier [09:49] Yeah it is [09:50] and multimonitor backgrounds [09:50] nicks007: You can add them in /etc/fstab [09:50] xtknight: xfce is quite fast [09:50] but you know what i noticed [09:50] gnome is fast too if yo ushut off compiz [09:50] i think xfce is gtk-based as well [09:50] xfce is nifty. a couple revs back it had some weird issues with too much ram. blazingly fast with 256mb but slower with 1.2gb. bizarre [09:50] !fstab | nicks007 [09:50] nicks007: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [09:50] s1gmab3ta, well it's not compiz, for me it's the GTK drawing engines or nautilus or something...the menus seem snappier in xfce (altho i thought it used gtk as well) [09:50] dandre: look in the mod_userdir conf is there is something like in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/userdir.conf [09:51] slart i think, if your still here thanks that startupmanager worked...problem was the swap wasn't being mounted [09:51] yes there is [09:51] my computer is by no means slow with compiz, but wihtout it its still noticably faster [09:51] mostly because i dual boot with gentoo and in gentoo swap was encrypted...ubuntu couldnt figure out how to mount it due to that so i set it up to encrypt swap in xubuntu also...problem fixed :) [09:51] i think we linux cats are getting a little spoiled with speed [09:51] selection rectangle on the desktop is fast and the file browser (Thunar) is faster than nautilus [09:51] It also lacks some of the functionality [09:51] like smb [09:51] s1gma, yeah my laptop gets faster with every release [09:52] but if you never use it then it's nothing to miss [09:52] dandre: hm [09:52] ubottu : let me do it [09:52] Sorry, I don't know anything about let me do it [09:52] at this point, who needs new hardware?

[09:58] gangs, did you really use only a 1GB linux partition? [09:58] gangs20003: paste text here http://pastebin.com/ then post the link to show people [09:58] is that really bad? [09:58] no, it just seems very small [09:58] for a modern install [09:59] okay then what should i do? you know what i wanted to do right? [09:59] you wanted to reinstall over your existing linux to fix the network [09:59] Where would I find the .config file used to build Ubuntu's default kernel? [09:59] ya [09:59] so now what? [09:59] iceroot: just bear with it for a few months. probably by aug or sept they'll have alphas that are usable enough to put on your eeepc [10:00] if you're happy with the size, that png you posted says /dev/sda7 is your linux partition [10:00] iceroot: the nice thing about netbooks is since they're generally not your main workstation you can afford to be a little risky with them [10:00] how large should i make it? [10:00] s1gmab3ta: befor wait so long, i will use 8.04. and the eeepc is my main-pc [10:00] gangs20003: at the risk of being crass, that's what she said [10:00] and(how should i make it large) [10:00] Oh, look, it's /boot/config-whatever. Never mind : ) [10:01] how do you get the keyring to stop asking for a password? id really like to disable it. turning it off in startup items didnt help [10:01] depends on how much stuff you want to install. I feel constrained in 10gb but i installthe kitchen sink [10:01] hi! i've connected second monitor. do i need to configure Xorg manually or there is any configuration tool for it? [10:01] pixelfairy: Set the password to be the same as your login [10:01] should do it [10:01] i wont have any dataloss will i? [10:01] iceroot: oh. nevermind what i said then, lol. but for what its worth i used jaunty since like late february... had little to no problems of consequence [10:02] dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg goes directly into some "frame buffer" option, and doesn't automatically detect my video card. Any suggestions? [10:02] s1gmab3ta: on eeepc? [10:02] rbo_: In gnome, at least, you could try Preferences > Display first [10:02] if you only wipe the /dev/sda7 partition you will only lose your linux data [10:02] s1gmab3ta: or with a intel vga? [10:02] iceroot: dell mini 9. they are similar hardware. [10:02] iceroot: give moblin 2 a shot when that's released [10:02] s1gmab3ta: hm, jaunty is much faster, booting and so on but xorg is slow like vista on a eeepc [10:03] Jolicloud looks pretty nice too [10:03] iceroot: it's in beta right now, and is very unstable from what ive tried [10:03] like so unstable i dont even know how they justify calling it a beta [10:03] How can I automatically configure my video card? [10:03] but oh man when it's stable it is going to be ridiculous [10:03] zebulon can i query you? [10:03] onexused: will see [10:04] just help me through this please [10:04] moblin 2 boots from bios screen to web browser in - i kid you not - 10 seconds on my mini [10:04] you just did gangs. did you have a second query? [10:04] s1gmab3ta: yeah, i need a stable one like 8.04 but maybe there is a change, not to downgrade, so i can use 9.04 [10:04] s1gmab3ta: jaunty is booting in 16 seconds to x [10:04] lol i meant a pm sorry [10:04] iceroot: you get a desktop screen almost instantaneously [10:05] heh, ok go ahead, and refresh my memory on the command [10:06] onexused: can't see second display there [10:06] well ladies and gents it is 5am here so ive overstayed my welcome [10:06] thanks again xtknight [10:07] s1gmab3ta, yup [10:07] rbo_: It may be that you'll need to configure xorg manually, then - which you'll have to ask someone else about for Ubuntu. For my laptop, the second display showed up there as soon as I connected it. [10:07] Is there any way to check on the progress of resize2fs ? [10:10] Stupendoussteve, i can install build essential '"couldnt find package" [10:11] konza_: build-essential? With the hyphen? [10:11] anyone used Xen and setup virtual servers successfully using ubuntu? [10:12] Stupendoussteve, sorry i forgot to put the hyphen [10:12] I want to get Subversion 1.6.2 on Ubuntu. Any advice on how? Is there a repository I can add or something? [10:12] onexused: i know how to do it manually - i have Gentoo at home [10:12] Stupendoussteve, its already installed [10:12] onexused: thanx [10:12] konza_: Good deal, then you should be good to go [10:12] Stupendoussteve, is there any graphical user interface for gtk [10:13] hi room [10:13] konza_: gtk is the gui, it draws most of what you see [10:13] well, it's the toolkit [10:13] slart: hi [10:13] slart: are u there? [10:15] can someone tell me how i can login into a ubuntu machin as a user from a windows box? [10:15] krishmish: on the console? or using a GUI? [10:15] juxta: using gui [10:15] can we do drag and drop...... as in qt [10:16] konza_: I think glade does that [10:16] juxta: configured between 2 ubuntu machines [10:16] konza_: Yes, look at the glade package, it is a gtk interface builder [10:16] krishmish: you'll need to look into install vnc or one of the similar programs on the ubuntu machine if you want remote desktop access [10:16] !eeepc [10:16] Information about installing Ubuntu on an Asus EeePC can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC [10:16] vnc is already on ubuntu [10:17] juxta: vnc i know [10:17] irc-chan for eeepc+ubuntu? [10:17] juxta: but i dont want desktop sharing [10:17] Just have to enable remote desktop in System > Preferences [10:17] krishmish: if you use the tightvnc package, you can setup multiple desktops === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [10:18] juxta: i ubuntu machine should offer a user customised desktop...and the same for the same user at all times [10:18] Stupendoussteve, so i should install glade rite? when i searched i saw many packages which one should i install [10:18] I have an integrated Intel graphics card. When I try to enable visual effects in gnome's appearance preferences, it tells me "desktop effects could not be enabled". Where could I find info about why? Or, how do I enable them? [10:18] juxta: like as in between 2 ubuntu machines [10:18] konza_: Just sudo apt-get install glade [10:18] ooh i had this problem .. need compiz [10:18] krishmish: how do you use it "between 2 ubuntu machines"? [10:18] juxta: i go to system>administration>login window [10:19] Stupendoussteve, thanks [10:19] juxta: click the remote tab and set the style to "same as local" [10:19] krishmish: I don't have a whole lot of knowledge re vnc - I've only used it on server machines, so I probably can't offer too much help [10:20] but there's a tightvnc package which allows you to have multiple desktops [10:20] juxta: and from the guest machine at the login terminal i go to options and choose connect via XDMCP [10:20] anyone used Xen and setup virtual servers successfully using ubuntu? [10:20] juxta: well thats okay [10:20] krishmish: ah, for XDMCP you could download Xming - it seems to allow connetcing to XDMCP servers from Windows. [10:21] okay [10:21] grawity: yeah [10:21] grawity: i wanna try that [10:21] grawity: but i s=dont seem to know how to start [10:21] grawity: can u help me ? [10:22] onexused: your GPU could be blacklisted in compiz [10:22] krishmish: XDMCP is working already, right? Go to http://www.straightrunning.com/XmingNotes/ and scroll down to "Releases" and download Xming 6.9.0.31 [10:22] How can I force a screen resolution regardless of what Ubuntu thinks my monitor can handle? I am connected to the machine via a KVM, and it doesn't pass the correct monitor info. [10:23] Stupendoussteve, is there any tutorial to learn gtk [10:23] No Python GTKGLExt support ... when i try 3d view in chess [10:23] konza_: I don't know of any, but I'm sure they exist [10:24] any ideas folks ? [10:24] Stupendoussteve, so from where will i start [10:24] grawity: okay... [10:24] konza_: Maybe look around http://www.gtk.org/documentation.html [10:24] cankoy: Where would I find out? [10:24] ok thanks .. i'll have a look see [10:25] konza_: Or http://glade.gnome.org/ [10:25] onexused: http://wiki.compiz-fusion.org/Hardware/Blacklist [10:25] cankoy: Thanks, I'll look. === chaky_ is now known as chaky [10:28] Gustavo: you need to edit Screen section in xorg.conf [10:28] agghhh - i'm no computer programmer ! why is there so much talk about compilers in general faqs for linux [10:29] grawity: okay...well there is a remark there saying its superceded but none the less ...im downloading it [10:29] Jonah_, because too many people think that's the best way to get programs for Linux. It isn't, for general users. [10:29] krishmish: The "latest version" of Xming requires you to donate at least a few moneys, that's why I was suggesting the older v6 [10:30] grawity: okay...i got it [10:30] krishmish: Once you install Xming, look for "Xlaunch" shortcut. [10:30] you know i would warm to linux so much more if things worked 'out of box' :( [10:30] grawity: what components do i additionally install? [10:30] grawity: or shall i take the default settings? [10:30] krishmish: ...what components? [10:31] Jonah_: most of the things work out of box [10:31] grawity: during the installation [10:31] Jonah_, mostly they do... what's not working for you? [10:31] Hmm, I don't remember what they are [10:31] but.. i appreciate its a collection of alot of hard work from many people [10:31] well im running ubuntu remix (netbook) msi wind [10:31] grawity: okay i got it [10:31] Hello, i am having sound issues (no sound) with Ubuntu 9.04. I am using module "snd-hda-intel", chipset "Conexant CX20561 (Hermosa)". I have experienced the same problems on debian, and cannot seem to find information about this [10:31] so theres alot of screen resolution problems [10:32] krishmish: What components are there? [10:32] and no decent webcam (messenger) software is poor :( [10:32] grawity: well only the portabble ones...i got through with the full install though [10:33] grawity: im finished with installation [10:33] krishmish: Okay ... run Xlaunch. === ifan is now known as CHACHA [10:33] grawity: ok [10:33] HIIIII [10:34] grawity: i shall select one window [10:34] CHACHA: Hello, how may we help you? [10:34] krishmish: just a minute while I download Xming ... I don't remember all the options [10:34] grawity: okay [10:35] krishmish: Okay, either "One window" or "Fullscreen" will do. [10:35] grawity: okay [10:36] grawity: display number? [10:36] krishmish: Zero [10:36] grawity: okay [10:36] krishmish: And then choose "Open session via XDMCP", and try "Search for hosts" and see if it finds anything [10:36] GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG [10:37] grawity: 1 sec [10:37] hi, how can I configure my X easily? Isn't there a command like xorgconfigure or something? [10:39] grawity: okay [10:39] ok fine [10:39] grawity: ok fine ...then? [10:40] krishmish: If you see the page with "Clipboard options" and so on, just click Next [10:40] cankoy, thank you. I edited the xorg.conf, and now my mouse doesn't appear to work. All I changed was the "Screen" section [10:40] grawity: done [10:40] krishmish: And then Finish, to launch Xming. [10:40] agion: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config and sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [10:41] agion: see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=690760 [10:41] weazel: thanks! [10:41] I want to add Load "dbe" to my /etc/X11/xorg.conf but there is no such file! :) Ubuntu 9.04. What should I do? [10:41] oh forget about the dpkg-reconfigure on newer systems it seems [10:41] grawity: im trying to launch xming...but it doesnt work!!! [10:42] grawity: tried "run as" [10:42] grawity: as well [10:42] !karmic [10:42] Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [10:42] krishmish: Xlaunch should have started xming automatically. [10:43] grawity: hmmm...well i dont know why???/ === marko_ is now known as root [10:43] krishmish: Do you see an X icon next to the clock, in the taskbar? === root is now known as Guest61105 [10:44] yeah [10:44] grawity: yes [10:44] krishmish: And it's not connecting to anything? [10:44] i've downloaded a .bin file, but the .cue is missing, is there anyway i can burn it without the .cue file, or convert it to an iso? [10:44] grawity: no [10:44] hello, can some one tell me where are the fonts stored on ubuntu? I have a few fonts which I want ot use on ubuntu with openoffice for example. [10:45] Gustavo: then restore your old xorg.conf. I don't fathom how merely editing Screen section affects Input Devices. [10:45] hi [10:47] i've downloaded a .bin file, but the .cue is missing, is there anyway i can burn it without the .cue file, or convert it to an iso? [10:47] Eimhin: yes, you can generate a .cue file [10:48] Here's an idea, when you try to copy an image and it warns you that there is already an image with the same name on that folder, and it ask you to replace, skip etc .... it would be much more helpul if the include previews of both images, so I can compare and see it they're the same, or If I want to discard the older image, or not. [10:48] Eimhin: you can use AcetoneISO to do the job-> "sudo apt-get install acetoneiso" or you can get thew latest from getdeb.net [10:48] ok, thanks [10:50] cattellar: this isn't the right forum for that. You want brainstorm.ubuntu.com or bugs.gnome.org [10:51] Yeah I'm heading to brainstorm right now ... although technically it is a gnome thing, but the gnome people are deaf [10:51] jadi: dbe is loaded automatically. No need for that. [10:51] . [10:51] cankoy: oh tnx. I was trying to use conky but it does not works [10:52] Flash is showing a play arrow instead of starting automatically, is there a way to make it so it starts? [10:53] hi, i have specified an fstab entry for an sshfs partition, but when mounting it, it says "unknown filesystem type 'sshfs'". I have sshfs install and works when I run the sshfs bin directly. Any ideas? [10:53] Perhaps it's trying to mount it before it loads the fuse kernel module, sexcopter? [10:54] guys, do you use apt-p2p? [10:54] eeg3, dont think so, its a parameter on the server side. [10:55] I just noticed a thing called "indicator-applet" was eating up my CPU, more than 80% on average. Part of the support for the Pidgen IM client, it seems. [10:55] The fuse kernel module has to be loaded to use sshfs [10:55] I killed the process and was rewarded with better performance [10:56] It reminds me of the tracker daemon [10:56] a not very useful process, hastily coded, consuming resources [10:57] Also, gconfd is consuming 20% of my CPU and doing a lot of IO to the hard drive [10:57] another questionable process consuming more than its share [10:58] It makes me wonder if people are using visual basic to build these things... [10:58] jk [10:58] does the alternate cd have a partition resize interface? [10:58] seriously is conky not working? It's not running on my jaunty [10:58] I'm enjoying Ubuntu, overall. But I'd like to cast my vote against Mono. [10:58] hi all of a suddent today i cant view any videos in facebook : You must download and install the latest version of the Adobe Flash Player to view this content [10:58] balzac: what are you talking about ? [10:58] And that means a vote cast against Banshee as well. [10:59] ikonia: wasteful processes [10:59] but i can view videos in youtube? any idea? [10:59] Banshee is great [10:59] trackerd, indicator-applet, gconfd [10:59] balzac: this is a support channel - as you know [11:00] ikonia: I tried to join #ubuntu-offtopic [11:00] Flash Player upgrade required [11:00] You must download and install the latest version of the Adobe Flash Player to view this content. well i did download the newest one and install but still cant see videos on facebook :( [11:00] balzac: so ? [11:00] I think this is my only place to give feedback on the performance of Ubuntu right now [11:00] eeg3: yeah, i think you're right. I rewrote the line to "sshfs#user@host:/ /mount/point/ fuse" and that seems to have worked. Cheers. [11:00] balzac: it's not - giving feedback here has no value, it's a support channel [11:00] alright, it's not the place [11:01] balzac: thank you [11:01] Can I be allowed into #ubuntu-offtopic ? [11:01] balzac: that is dicussed in #ubuntu-ops as you know [11:01] alright, then I'll drop by later. [11:02] cattellar: where's your bug on gnome's bug tracker? [11:02] cattellar: or did you use the mailing list? [11:02] jrib: I opened up a bug on it myself [11:03] balzac: I'm pretty sure we are talking about different things [11:03] jrib, it's not really a bug, just a feature I think it's useful, I just posted it on #gnome [11:03] I guess that's not the best place though [11:03] what is the latest flash? [11:03] cattellar: irc isn't really the right place. You can file the bug as a feature request or try to get some discussion going on the mailing list first [11:04] nevermind. I was thinking of trackerd. [11:04] jrib, I see [11:07] grawity: sorry i had to log out [11:07] Do you think using openbox on ubuntu isn't very classy? [11:07] cattellar: try #ubuntu-offtopic for that [11:07] That's the problem with ubuntu, I always feel im bonded to gnoe [11:08] cattellar: i use xmonad on ubuntu w/o issue... [11:08] O__o: type about:plugins into firefox's address bar and see what version you've got === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [11:09] cankoy, 9.0 r124 [11:09] cankoy, how come i can view all videos except the ones on facebook? [11:10] jrib, i'm checking out xnomad ... looks interesting [11:10] cankoy, i can view the ones on facebook like 4 days ago [11:10] cattellar: sure it's great, but you should be able to use any window manager you want and not feel "bonded to gnome" :) [11:11] how to install flash 10 properly? [11:11] O__o: sudo apt-get --reinstall install flashplugin-installer [11:12] do i need to uninstall 9 first? [11:13] O__o: how did you install 9? outside the repos? [11:13] long time ago [11:13] and i installed version 10 [11:14] but somehow couple days ago version is back [11:14] i dont know why [11:14] grawity: u there? [11:14] do i do this 1st: sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-nonfree [11:15] then close ff and this? sudo dpkg -i sudo dpkg -i install_flash_player_10_linux.deb [11:15] O__o: check .mozilla/plugins folder, and remove and flash releted .so files first. [11:16] cankoy, dont have .mozilla/plugins [11:16] im unabel to launch xming !!! [11:18] O__o: dpkg -l '*flash*' [11:18] O__o: check the lines that start with ii [11:18] cankoy, none [11:19] yo yo yo [11:19] can someone help me with how to launch xming? [11:19] O__o: then the apt-get command should do fine, try it [11:19] krishmish: you just run it, it sits in your system tray waiting for a request for an x server [11:19] ActionParsnip: He's trying to connect to an XDMCP server [11:19] krishmish: do you mean xming in windows? [11:20] ActionParsnip: yes...i wanna connect to ubuntu machine from xp [11:21] ActionParsnip: im able to connect between 2 ubuntu machines [11:21] krishmish: ok thats fine, run xming and it sits and waits, then launch: putty -X name@server [11:21] but im unable to do so from a windows machine [11:21] ActionParsnip: _XDMCP_ [11:21] ActionParsnip: in the run window? [11:21] hey! [11:21] krishmish: yes in the windows run box, put putty.exe in your windows dir [11:22] ActionParsnip: And that one was a stupid suggestion [11:22] grawity: if he wants x forwarding i'll give him it [11:22] ActionParsnip: He wants to use XDMCP - not over SSH. [11:22] grawity: why, makes it universally runable throughout the system [11:22] now how to make opera uses the flash plugin? [11:22] i've installed kubuntu-desktop and since this two users are running at start up. how do i prevent this? [11:22] ActionParsnip: And as for PuTTY, a much better solution is to add %ProgramFiles%\PuTTY to %Path%. [11:22] ActionParsnip: grawity: i wanna use xdmcp please [11:23] grawity: its more paths to search, a simple file copy is way easier [11:23] i just installed the latest xubuntu release. "listen" music player seems to miss some gstreamer plugins (i.e. for mp3)? [11:23] O__o: cd ~/.opera/plugins; ln -s /path/to/libflashplayer.so [11:23] also wondering about german keyboard settings on a Macbook. I think I tried every possible combination... [11:24] ActionParsnip: Easier maybe, but it may create a lot of problems with file permissions and stuff. There's always an easy way and the right way. [11:24] i dont know where the flashplugin is saved [11:24] O__o: sudo find / -name libflashplayer.so [11:24] ActionParsnip: grawity: what am i to do now? === p is now known as Guest74004 [11:25] felix_> im having trouble configuring tnt2 on a old p4 1.5 [11:25] X fails, error is [11:25] EE failed to load .../nvidia_drv.so ; EE failed to load module nvidia ; EE no driver available [11:25] krishmish: http://www.zolved.com/synapse/view_content/28158/Remote_Login_via_XDMCP_on_Ubuntu [11:25] lsmod shows nvidia loaded [11:26] felix_: i'd reinstall your driver, revert back to vesa with: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg , reboot then reinstall your driver [11:26] !keyboard > ringo999 [11:26] ringo999, please see my private message [11:26] ActionParsnip, i did with envyng. it must me doing something wrong? [11:27] felix_: yes, you use envyng [11:27] hy all.. i intalled ubuntu 9.04 64bbit on a q9550 cpu and with 8gb of corsair ram... but the lsystem monitor only shows 7.6gb ram.. the 8.04lts version showed only 7.7gb ram [11:27] any ideas as to why? [11:27] hey guys, i know normally laptops don't have too much amplification, but this used toshiba satellite i bought is a harmon kardon model, and they play up the great sound and all... anyways i just installed ubuntu 9.04 and trying to listen to music, but volume really low. any ideas? [11:27] ActionParsnip: krishmish said he wants to login from _Windows_ and has already set up Ubuntu. [11:27] felix_: this is one reason it is not advised, you upgraded your kernel but enyng doesnt upgrade the nvidia driver with the kernel [11:28] felix_: so now you must revert to failsafe graphics, boot to the new kernel then rerun envyng [11:29] the caps lock light on my keyboards are stuck on.. state changes ok, but there bright as heck... how do I disable them via software? [11:29] apache2 installation went well and all, phpmyadmin said it was installed but there is no phpmyadmin folder in var/www and I can't paste the folder from win HD because I'm not root what's the command for allowing everyone all access [11:29] ActionParsnip: grawity: yeah...ive set up ubuntu [11:29] krishmish: i'd use the xming / putty and you will be able to run gui apps from the putty terminal [11:30] ActionParsnip: grawity: now i need to get ahead with windows<-->ubuntu [11:30] ActionParsnip: grawity: hmm...okay...

[11:30] ActionParsnip: he wants XDMCP [11:30] O__o: nope [11:30] ActionParsnip, at first i installed ubuntu server, and then i made apt-get install ubuntu-desktop ; now i have two kernels, generic and server. whaat may i use? [11:30] O__o: you need the .so file [11:30] anyone running svn 1.6.x in jaunty? [11:30] ActionParsnip: grawity: but yeah...i would prefer XDMCP [11:30] ActionParsnip, so now what? do i need to undone that? [11:31] ubottu: so it suggests to edit my xorg.conf. My xorg.conf on xubuntu jauntry does not contain any entry for keyboard settings... already tried to add from my working debian but it didnt help... [11:31] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [11:31] onyx try sudo cp /var/www/phpmyadmin [11:31] O__o: no, the command will fail as the folder already exists [11:31] krishmish : no u wont be able to get all the graphic features..even using xming or any other remote access [11:31] ActionParsnip, so what is the exact command? [11:31] look at this.. 1024X800 needs aroung 800mb to be transmitted... [11:31] O__o: i think you can do it that way though, like link the whole plugins folder [11:32] how? [11:32] gartral: I did sudo nautilus [11:32] at maximum you may get 30fps in ur glxgears..esp over fastethernet.. if u used gigabit then may be a little more fps [11:32] onyx ... bad idea, if your going to run a gui as root, use gksu [11:32] O__o: i idon't know where the package install the .so file to as I dont use the packed flash thing. I have zero luck with it on my 64bit rigs and always use the tar.gz and extract it to ~/.mozilla/plugins [11:33] guys any ideas why 64bit ubuntu wont show full ram?? [11:33] is there any known limitation to using full 8gb ram? [11:33] O__o: yu won't have that folder as it needs to be made manually as well. Maybe someone else can give you the path to the .so file [11:33] ActionParsnip, it is in /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin [11:33] joeljose421: how much ram do you have vs how much should it show? *some* appearent loss of ram is fine [11:33] O__o: gotcha [11:33] ActionParsnip, opera's plugin folder [11:33] /usr/lib/opera/plugins [11:33] gartral: you mean like gksudo nautilus [11:34] so what do i do? [11:34] joeljose421: does your bios see 8gb? [11:34] onyx: just gksu nautilus [11:34] O__o: cd ~/.opera/plugins; ln -s /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so [11:34] yes [11:34] bios see 8gb [11:34] joeljose421: yeah...but worth a try..:-) [11:34] i have 8gb.. and the linux shows 7.6gb in 9.04 [11:34] ActionParsnip, at first i installed ubuntu server, and then i made apt-get install ubuntu-desktop ; now i have two kernels, generic and server. whaat may i use? [11:34] in 8.04 it showed 7.7gb [11:34] cd into opera plugin dir then create symbolic link there by that command? [11:35] felix_: why install server than the ubuntu-desktop? [11:35] joeljose421: thatts normal, some ram is left for system only use, your within safe paramiters [11:35] 600mb?? [11:35] are u nuts? [11:35] felix_: why did you install the server version if you are going to sling an X server on it, doesnt make any sense at all [11:35] sorry.. i was just a little pissed off with this 64bit stuff [11:35] joeljose421: most likely your vid card is requesting a horking amount of memory if its a shared memory card [11:36] ActionParsnip, to have a LAMP server from first install and then have the full desktop environment of ubuntu desktop. [11:36] ActionParsnip, i dont have ~/.opera/plugins [11:36] how to query what packages are on my system? [11:36] ohh.. may be.. [11:36] felix_: you can install lamp on desktop... [11:36] its a g45 based onboard [11:36] dg45id is my motherboard [11:36] joeljose421: that explains it, yea, your fine [11:37] but i wish i could have had that memory back [11:37] ;( [11:37] ActionParsnip, yes, but i did this way. so, what kernel must i use? [11:37] joeljose421: i have an 8mb onboard shared card that makes me fidgit every time i see 10 less megs in my 512 ram [11:37] i dont use any graphic intensive apps [11:37] i use a lot of vmwares [11:38] i just need barebone gnome.or even a lighter gui.. but this 600gb of wasted ram.. [11:38] O__o: if you run: cp ~/.opera/pluginpath.ini ~/.opera/pluginpath.ini_old; gedit ~/.opera/pluginpath.ini [11:38] joeljose421: doesn't matter, the card will *allways* reserve it's top amount of memory [11:38] O__o: you can add your firefox plugin path/s to the file [11:38] O__o: http://my.opera.com/lounge/forums/topic.dml?id=189210 [11:38] ? [11:38] felix_: in your case, both are equal [11:38] but.... [11:38] i have 32bit xp [11:39] in a laptop of hp [11:39] O__o: don't mess with the filesystem. paths. etc. The settings are in Opera's pref. [11:39] ActionParsnip, but modules load on only 1 kernel [11:39] !enter | joeljose421 [11:39] and that recognises 2gb ram completely [11:39] joeljose421: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [11:39] cankoy: thats why the first command backs up the file ;) [11:39] cankoy: i always include a rolback path === doc__ is now known as Doc235 === jtheuer is now known as peterfox20 [11:39] felix_: then use that kernel [11:39] joeljose421: how do you know XP is correct? the GPU will reserve just as much memory in both cases [11:39] XP uses device identifiers for memory, and reports the capacity of the ram, Linux reports what it can use by what it can address [11:40] cankoy: plus, its only for the user, not the system === GhostWolf is now known as GW [11:40] O__o: Prefs > Advanced > Content > Plugin Options... === GW is now known as GhostWolf76 [11:41] i have used 1.5gb in xp for vmware and also run a couple of dynamips instances.. so i think i have used atleast 1.8gb completely [11:41] can anyone help me? im trying to remove my ipod from my comp so it can stop saying do not disconnect from my ipod and i keep doing safely remove and nothing happens [11:41] joeljose421: I would go and by a PCI-e gfx card with on board memory, and disable your onboard card in bios [11:41] grawity: u there? or busy? [11:41] cankoy, i ln -s the plugin files there now it works [11:41] O__o: cool [11:41] okay may be not.. i cant be too sure about that...but 600 gb of wasted ram for a video card.. makes me really mad. i hope its not a linux kernel issue.. [11:42] joeljose421: keep in mind XP has the seamless pagefile... and anything that bleeds out of ram will use that file [11:42] why cant they just use standard dir for all plugins and let all browsers use it? [11:42] O__o: easiest way by far, and you did it all outside of the opera gui, imagine :) [11:42] what's that program you use to make deb files fast? [11:42] can anyone please help me with my problem? [11:42] opera gui is horrible now [11:42] O__o: you can make your system like that, but you are right it is a pain [11:42] joeljose421: also, your laptop may have a dedicated memory card [11:42] just like IE, [11:42] O__o: skin it. I think opera is awesome [11:42] i skin it [11:42] Does anyone know if there is any support for MPX (Multiple Pointer X) in jaunty? The current X Server (i.e. XInput) should support it, but I can't find anything on the net. [11:43] i mean the preferences are so complicated now [11:43] okay i will get an pci-e card and turn the onboard off. thanks for the informations. really appreciated. [11:43] never mind it's checkinstall [11:43] opera used to be simple and easy to setup [11:43] O__o: if you can familiarise yourself with the conf files its the same ;) [11:43] gartral : oh yes it does!. Nvidia 8600ms. [11:43] joeljose421: np, I know how worriesome it can be when your OS reports less than your POST [11:44] okay thanks again.. and sorry for the enter as puncuation... i will try to correct my old bad habbit. ;) [11:44] can anyone please help me?? [11:44] ActionParsnip,i reconfigured xserver, ran envyng, rebooted and x fails at start [11:44] errors are : [11:44] felix_> im having trouble configuring tnt2 on a old p4 1.5 [11:44] X fails, error is [11:44] EE failed to load .../nvidia_drv.so ; EE failed to load module nvidia ; EE no driver available [11:44] felix_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [11:44] the same as before [11:44] felix_: so you got an x server after reconfiguring the x server and rebooting? [11:44] joeljose421: yea, my desktop has 512 megs ram, and an AGP 6200... that card takes 2 megs to adress... and the internal *can't* be killed by bios on my board [11:45] O__o: Opera is still easy to set up. You install it and you're done. If you want more it is still as configurable as ever. The configuratuion options haven't changed in the past years (except there are some more now) [11:45] bye folks.. see you again.. hopefully next time without any problems to debug. ;) [11:45] ActionParsnip, yes [11:45] ActionParsnip, then i ran again envyng, rebooted, and so.. [11:45] the caps lock light on my keyboards are stuck on.. state changes ok, but there bright as heck... how do I disable them via software? [11:45] hello, what is the different between sudo apt-get remove and autoremove? thank you [11:45] ok guess no one wants to help me.. which sucks.. [11:45] felix_: i think once you are in the x environment you need to remove then reinstall envyng. Its how I used to do it. Why dont you just remove the envyng garbage and install nvidia-glx-180 [11:46] petsounds: autoremove removes all orphaned packages, whilst remove only removes the listed packages [11:46] petsounds: sudo apt-get remove removes a package of your specification, autoremove takes that package and any packages linked too it [11:46] ActionParsnip, im using a nvidia tnt2. driver is nvidia 71 [11:46] felix_: when you upgrade, dkms will take place and you won't have this issue [11:46] hi, how can I setup several news servers in Pan and then choose which to use!? [11:47] felix_: the use the 71 driver, I used to have a tnt2 ultra 32 back in the day. great card [11:47] felix_: its one of the reasons why envy isnt recommended. [11:47] !envy > felix_ [11:47] felix_, please see my private message [11:48] ActionParsnip, i installed that way too, but x have the same errors. perhaps we can try to find why x could not load module? [11:48] ziroday: and what's the best method? [11:48] EE failed to load .../nvidia_drv.so ; EE failed to load module nvidia ; EE no driver available [11:48] dakira, thats what i mean [11:48] they always change their path in diff version [11:48] petsounds: what do you mean? autoremove can't be used to remove packages, its just a "clean up" tool [11:49] felix_: if you run: less /var/log/Xorg.0.log [11:49] felix_: what's your onboard card, I had trouble getting an external card to run f its the same manufactuerr as the internal [11:49] Hi, Can I find a certain ubuntu package version where a specific upstream bug has been solved? I want to know if the KMail Bug https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=191753 has been solved in https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/+source/kdepim/4:4.2.90-0ubuntu1 [11:49] felix_: you can read what is going on [11:49] gardar, intel board, nvidia agp card [11:50] felix_: is the onboard GPU Intel, or Nvidia? [11:50] gartral, no onboard gpu [11:51] ziroday: if i'm going to remove game (wormux), what should i write on terminal sudo apt-get remove wormux or autoremove? [11:51] peterfox20: lemme see what I can find, no promises :) [11:51] peterfox20: also #kubuntu might be helpful [11:51] how do u get the mac looking taskbar at the bottom? [11:51] felix_: strange... is AGP active in bios? or does it support the smart gart thing? [11:51] petsounds: you should do sudo apt-get remove wormux. sudo apt-get autoremove will then remove all the dependencies of wormux that are no longer needed [11:51] cypha: use a dock? [11:51] i guess [11:51] yeah [11:52] but how do you do that? [11:52] ActionParsnip, says the same 3 errors, and (II) UnloadModule "nvidia" after the first [11:52] EE failed to load .../nvidia_drv.so ; EE failed to load module nvidia ; EE no driver available [11:52] i downloaded a theme that looks mac-ish, but it isn't letting me use it as a theme [11:52] ziroday: thanks [11:52] cypha: well you need to pick one, popular ones are AWN, gnome-do+docky and cairo-dock [11:52] is it not allowed in gnome? [11:52] i have gnome-do [11:52] petsounds: it appears to be fixed in 4.2.4, which kubuntu has through a PPA [11:52] ziroday: thank you for your effort [11:52] how can I setup several news servers in Pan and then choose which to use!? [11:52] cypha: provided its a gnome theme you can use it [11:53] are any of the three that ziroday mentioned GNome? [11:53] cypha: if u want your ubuntu looks like mac, download mac4lin [11:53] cypha: warning about AWN.. it *must* have a compositing manager to run! [11:53] cypha: all the docks I mentioned are designed for gnome [11:53] not sure what that is [11:53] gartral, the mobo doesnt have built in card. the agp works. [11:53] oh ok [11:53] gartral: all the docks I mentioned require compositing to run [11:53] what's a compositing manager? [11:53] !compiz | cypha [11:53] cypha: do you use compiz AKA desktop effects? [11:53] cypha: Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz [11:53] yeah [11:53] compiz [11:53] felix_: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-212584.html [11:54] cypha: compiz is a compositing thingy [11:54] lol [11:54] k great [11:54] so which is the best out of the three that ziroday mentioned? [11:54] ziroday: u mean wormux? [11:54] in your honest opinion, might i add [11:54] !best | cypha [11:54] cypha: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [11:54] cypha: nautilus *can* be used as a compositin manager if your tight on resources... but I can only get awn to run with it... [11:54] which one is the most lightweight? [11:55] or which one has a cool feature? [11:55] petsounds: woops got you mixed up, sudo apt-get remove wormux is what you want [11:55] cypha: docky [11:55] cypha: try them all out and decide for yourself :) [11:55] cairo? [11:55] k [11:55] if i try them all, won't it bog down/slow my system [11:55] having all that extra stuff [11:55] with exgtra files [11:55] peterfox20: that crasher should be fixed in 4.2.4 which should be available by a PPA [11:55] cypha: look for screenshots on wikipedia of all the docks [11:55] that even when i remove the package, latent files will be kept on my computer [11:55] !autoremove | cypha [11:55] Sorry, I don't know anything about autoremove [11:55] cypha: when you remove the package it won't bog down your computer [11:56] i tried removing ggl-qt and it still hasn't removed! [11:56] cypha: that's why we have autoremove [11:56] it's still there [11:56] gartral: You mean metacity and not nautilus.. the compositing abilities of metacity work perfectly well for notifiactions, awn or docky (gnome do).. the latter uses a lot less resources than awn btw. [11:56] cypha: use --purge when you apt-get remove, also if you sudo apt-get --purge autoremove it will remove all the packages you no longer need (plus their configs) [11:56] cypha: if you really don't want to install them, then there are youtube videos and screenshots and such. As to which one you will enjoy the most is completely up to you [11:56] cypha: you can also chack for apps that have fallen by the wayside with deborphan [11:57] dakira: yes, but is it as pretty? [11:57] wayside? [11:57] autoremove ggl-qt "command not found" [11:57] cypha: yeah, packages that have no dependanices or requirements [11:57] cypha: sudo apt-get autoremove [11:57] i'm not sure how i installed it...whether apt-get install, or aptitude install [11:57] or whatever [11:58] cypha: both are fine [11:58] gartral: you won't have the compiz effects.. but on slow machines or machines with bad support for compiz it is better than no compositing at all (i.e. getting no transparent notifications or not being able to use docky at all) [11:58] ntried getting it, nothing to gegt [11:58] autoremove, that is [11:58] cypha: either way, the both edit the same databases, and both can (un)install anything you installed wit any other Apt-method (including GUIs) [11:58] cypha: sudo apt-get --purge autoremove [11:58] cypha: it is personal preference.. I'd stay with apt-get until you have a reason to switch to aptitude.. but you SHOULD stick with one of them [11:59] k, i purged autoremove [11:59] nothing was removed [11:59] 0 to remove and 7 not upgraded [11:59] dakira: I was asking about docky, trust me, i know of metacity's compositing manager ability, but for some reason, compiz works better or me.. [11:59] cypha: if you purge, then reinstall. you will need to configure the app again. If you omit --purge the old settings will still be on your system [11:59] ActionParsnip, that solution does not work. no file called nvidia_drv.o, nor in my pc nor in any package of the repos [12:00] cypha: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [12:00] notihng was removed though when i purged [12:00] felix_: locate nvidia_drv.so [12:00] ActionParsnip: what's that for? [12:00] felix_: not in the locations the guide states [12:00] i have 9.04 [12:00] cypha: gets the 7 updates you don't have [12:00] aah [12:00] cool [12:01] felix_: do you have them where the guide says they should be? [12:01] jaunty-proposed/main linux-libc-dev [12:01] ? [12:01] from security.ubuntu.com [12:01] . [12:01] plop [12:02] heh, fun alias for easy updating: alias="sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" [12:02] heh, fun alias for easy updating: alias grad="sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" [12:02] he fuck [12:02] and one more thing, if i want to install ubuntu 9. 04 on my asus eee pc 1000 what should i choose? desktop edition or netbook remix? and please give me a link about howto install cause i read from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC/Installation it's just expired. [12:02] gartral: i have similar in a script, sudo fullupdate ;) [12:02] how can i check which wireless card driver i am using? [12:03] mib_7fah5s: sudo lshw -C network [12:03] gartral, /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/ [12:03] mib_7fah5s: pastebin lspci and lsmod please [12:03] someone can help me set up xdmcp from windows to login to ubuntu machine? [12:03] felix_: ok, now follow actioninstructions with the new path/to/nvidia_drv.so [12:03] hey people === kalon33 is now known as kalon33-eating [12:04] gartral: okay.. docky works really nice in metacity for me (on nvidia and intel-onboard) [12:04] felix_: ok, now follow actionparsnipsinstructions with the new path/to/nvidia_drv.so [12:04] i am running a live cd, but why is it running so slow. when i open new applications. i have atlest a 1gb of ram. or by default does ubuntu not copy everything from the cd into memory? [12:04] bettytee: livcds are ALLWAYS sloooooooowwww [12:05] the caps lock light on my keyboards are stuck on.. state changes ok, but there bright as heck... how do I disable them via software? [12:06] gartral, what instructions? [12:06] yes there must be a reason for it though, is it because it is not runny from ALL memory, but in fact is still running from the cd [12:06] ziroday: http://pastebin.com/d59869e30 http://pastebin.com/d76b720c7 [12:06] is there any way after the or during the boot proccess i can create a ramdrive and copy the cd contents or atlest needed contents into memory [12:07] greets guys [12:07] felix_: I think I put your name in by mistake, disregard [12:07] mib_7fah5s: iwl3945 [12:07] !giberish [12:07] Sorry, I don't know anything about giberish [12:07] ziroday: is this the driver? [12:07] !foo [12:07] Bar [12:07] mib_7fah5s: yep, that's the driver being used [12:07] how can i see the last 7 packages i installed? [12:07] !msgthebot > gartral [12:07] gartral, please see my private message [12:08] secondly, whatever i just insatlled, i now have another instance of ubuntu in GRUB [12:08] as well as the recovery [12:08] it made me restart, and i saw this [12:08] cypha: you installed a new kernel, its good for you [12:08] how do i know which is which? [12:08] ziroday: how can i support monitor mode with this driver for my wireless card? [12:08] wait,, theres a kernal update? when was this? [12:08] Hello All [12:08] and why didn't it just replace the old kernel [12:09] cypha: one that has bigger number is newer [12:09] i have all this crap in my sources.list that some website told me to add [12:09] cypha keeps the old kernels in case new kernel is broken [12:09] cypha: because the old kernel is kept around just in case something breaks [12:09] because it has a whole lot of other sites that can be updated from [12:09] any easy way for me to change my hostname? [12:09] you can change that in the menu.lst...some option in there for how many kernels to show [12:09] Can I have some help disabling a network card (forever) ? [12:09] so i hope i didn't upgrade to some beta thing [12:09] cypha: it did.. but it left the old kernal as a backup incase your system goes wonkey [12:09] cypha: and it good idea to keep old kernel too there [12:09] DysonReturns: edit /etc/hostname? [12:09] snoopy: onboard nic? [12:09] mib_7fah5s: err try using it airmon-ng? [12:09] I am using xbindkeys - I have mapped Super+Button2 to a 'command' -- however, I want that 'command' to be 'close active window'. What 'command' achieves this goal? [12:10] k thanks [12:10] CapaH: alt +f4 [12:10] i'd rather remove it [12:10] i don't want multiple instances [12:10] iceroot: Yes but I cannot put alt+f4 into xbindkeys [12:10] I have two wireless cards but one only does WEP and I want it disabled forever. The WEP card is the one Ubuntu wants to use all the time by default. [12:10] What I am trying to do is make super+button2 on my mouse do the same thing as alt+f4 [12:10] also, how can i set windows to be the default to start or increase the time to choose? [12:10] cypha: why? it's only taking up about 5mb [12:10] CapaH: then use alt +f4 without any xbindkey [12:10] is there any way after the or during the boot proccess i can create a ramdrive and copy the cd contents or atlest needed contents into memory [12:11] Hi.. can anyone point out a howto/etc that tells howto convert vob files to flv? i have an event video on DVD that i want to put on the www [12:11] cypha: you can do that through startupmanager (SUM) or by editing your /boot/grub/menu.lst [12:11] cypha: /boot/grub/menu.lst and aedit default and wait time [12:11] cuz in the past, i've ended up with like 20 instances of ubuntu in grub [12:11] CapaH: just use it in gnome or something you are using [12:11] !info startupmanager [12:11] startupmanager (source: startupmanager): Grub and Splash screen configuration. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.9.12-1 (jaunty), package size 95 kB, installed size 1072 kB [12:11] iceroot: Obviously, but my goal is to make it so I can press Super+B2 and get the same result. I had this working before, then I reinstalled and I have to do it again. [12:11] cypha install that and it'll help you immensly [12:11] sudo apt-get install startupmanager [12:11] so what I need is a command-line thing that does the same as alt+f4 [12:11] CapaH: why pressing super + b2 if alt + f4 is alreday working? [12:11] hmm I just installed Ubuntu Jaunty. It had desktop effects enabled by default and it worked. I disabled it to check the difference between performance.. Now the strange this is, when I enable it.. It won't work no more. Saying desktop effects could not be enabled.. Anyone an idea? [12:11] thanks [12:12] znh: please pastebin the output of compiz --replace [12:12] iceroot: holding the windows key and clicking a window is significantly faster than using both hands to press alt+f4 [12:12] cypha outside of that you could edit /boot/grub/menu.lst most of the options are commented so you can see what they do [12:12] how can i see the last 10 packages i installed? [12:12] ziroday, okay will do [12:12] iceroot: Its just a matter of personal preference [12:12] CapaH: you can either install gnome-do or rebind the run dialog to super+space [12:12] znh: open a terminal window and type compiz --replace [12:12] hi [12:12] i dont know if any body can help regarding setserial config....i did all seting useing regarding all serial port ....i have 16 serial ports and i test all and they are working in all ports..any how how i can save this settings so when i boot the pc serial setting will not change??? [12:12] a bit off-topic but; does anyone know of some sort of opensource webbased software development collaboration tool exist? one that can be easily installed using a standard hosting plan (php/mysql)?

[12:13] Bart6114: mediawiki [12:13] ziroday, gnome-do is interesting, how would I do this using gnome-do ? [12:13] znh: install the compiz-config-settings-manager [12:14] CapaH: gnome-do is already binded to super+space I believe [12:14] gartral, looks like it uses indirect rendering. while it should be able to perform 3D [12:14] ubottu: I'll take it somewhere else! [12:14] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [12:14] Bart6114: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_content_management_systems [12:14] Boohbah: thanks! [12:14] how can i see a list of the last 10 packages i installed?? [12:15] Can I have some help disabling a network card (forever) ? [12:15] ziroday: What I am trying to do specifically is this - I want to press Super+ and have it close the active window. Does gnome-do make this possibel? [12:15] znh: have you installed the restricted drives (if there are any)? [12:15] *possible [12:15] chronologically? i dont think that is possible [12:15] gartral, it uses FireGL as driver. It's an ATi Mobility 9000 [12:15] Checking for texture_from_pixmap: not present [12:15] how do i change to root? [12:15] znh: install the compiz-fuzion-icon and it has a drop menu to enable/disable indirect rendering [12:16] CapaH: hmm no gnome-do won't sorry I misunderstood the original request. Not really sure what would sorry, perhaps digging around in ccsm might turn something up [12:16] !root | mib_7fah5s [12:16] mib_7fah5s: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [12:16] gartral, what repo do I have to enable? [12:16] is this not possible? [12:16] to see a history of packages that you've apt-gotten?

[12:18] hi, i'd like to know the proper way to setup security certificates in ubuntu server. should i make them only readable by root? any apache (especially) reverse proxy related but specific to ubuntu would be much appreciated. i have searched but most just discuss individual directives. [12:19] thanks boohbah [12:19] hey,i just installed Jaunty but i fails to recognise my 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5200] (rev a1) [12:19] card [12:19] *it [12:19] i doesn't even list them on the Hardware drivers [12:19] init[1]: which version of the nvidiadrivers are you using? [12:19] *it [12:19] init[1]: that card isn't supported by nvidia any more [12:20] i don't see autoremove [12:20] in synapic either [12:20] versions newer than the 173-drivers does not support that chip [12:20] perbl: no drivers ! [12:20] hi [12:20] init[1]: then get some drivers :) [12:20] init[1]: try the open source nvidia driver [12:20] the 173-drivers from nvidia should work fine [12:20] perbl: but im a slackware user but i have managed to run the latest driver on slackware === xtor is now known as extor [12:20] init[1]: you will run into that problem no matter what OS you try and use, your best bet is to either seek out an older envy driver... or upgrade [12:20] Hi, I currently have a dual boot with ubuntu (64) and windows vista, and my ubuntu partition doesn't work anymore. With the new release of fedora 11, I was wondering what the advantages are of ubuntu before I try to fix/reinstall ubuntu [12:21] init[1]: which version was that? [12:21] :( [12:21] 1 sec [12:21] the nvidia-glx-177 and 180-drivers won't work for fx5200 [12:21] !wubi [12:21] Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting.

[12:21] !fedora [12:21] Other !Linux distributions besides !Ubuntu include: Debian, Mepis (using !APT); RedHat, Fedora, SUSE, Mandriva (using !RPM); Gentoo, Slackware (using other packaging systems) [12:22] can someone tellm e how to get this autoremove package? [12:22] TimeToChoose: the best thing to do is try both and see which one you prefer [12:22] gartral ive used both the live cd and the alternate cd and wubi and everytime i press install i get a blank screen with the cd's but on the alternate cd i get a flashing underscore in the top corner is this right ? === Donnie is now known as gkz22 [12:22] shokno it certainly is not... but i wouldnt know how to fix that problem.. [12:23] ShockF: it certainly is not... but i wouldnt know how to fix that problem.. [12:23] oh right ok [12:23] how do you search the repositories? [12:23] perbl: this version Version: 173.14.18 [12:23] is there anybody here that does know how my problem could be fixed [12:23] !repos [12:23] The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [12:24] cypha: apt-cache search [12:24] great [12:24] thanks [12:24] i compiled the binary driver in slackware [12:24] ziroday: I realize that, but installing an operating system especially a linux distro takes a long time to get to a way you like, and if I wanted to do that I would have to try (Ubuntu, Fedora, Mandriva, Redhat, Gentoo... etc) So I was wondering if there were any major differences [12:24] i worked fine for me! [12:24] *it [12:24] cypha: apt-cache search from terminal, or use gksu synaptic for a GUI [12:24] no results for autoremove [12:24] who told me that that existed [12:25] cyp [12:25] TimeToChoose: theres a few minor differences, mainly, Ubuntu has the widest support base of almost any OS aside from fedora [12:25] cypha: autoremove isn't a package, it's an action taken by the package manager. what were you trying to do? [12:25] TimeToChoose: right, this question is really much better suited to #ubuntu-offtopic where you'll get a better response. Also seperate /home partitions may be a way to go [12:25] i was trying to remove ggl-qt [12:25] i downloaded it, and then got the kde one afterwards [12:25] i mean gtk one afterwards [12:26] sudo apt-get remove --force ggl-qt does nothing? [12:26] and after trying to remove the package, it didn't actually remove the install [12:26] gartal would you reccomend that i try a different distro of linux and see if that works [12:26] TimeToChoose: Geographical. One word. That's what. There are more local ubuntu support groups than any other flavor I've seen. [12:26] cypha: sudo apt-get remove --force ggl-qt does nothing? [12:26] --force is not understood [12:27] ShockF: Ima gonna get flammed for this, but, for safty of drive perposes... try knoppix.. if that won't run foirany reason... you are stuck. [12:27] cypha: try sudo apt-get purge ggl-qt [12:27] tried that [12:27] TimeToChoose: well for starters unless your pretty comforatble with linux already...i wouldnt attemp gentoo [12:27] says it can't find it [12:27] kk gartral thanks [12:27] its fairly hardcore for the uninitiated [12:27] but i found it manually in the bin folder or usr folder or something [12:27] cypha: try reinstalling it, and then purging it again. [12:27] someone told me if i deleted the file from there, something would "break" [12:27] shokknoppix is a live-only os... and i use it to test hardare foir compatibility issues.. === gangs20003 is now known as gangs20003{afk} [12:28] cypha: well, probably not, but you mat confuse the package manager. [12:28] ShockF: knoppix is a live-only os... and i use it to test hardare foir compatibility issues.. [12:28] what package do i need to get syntax highlighting in vim on 8.04? (not the vim-full, i don't suppose i need 118mb of stuff to get colors) [12:28] * gartral NEEDS NEW PAWS [12:28] oops [12:28] so sudo apt-get install ggl-qt? [12:28] gartral any idea where i can download it ? [12:29] cypha: yes, and then apt-get purge [12:29] couldn't find the package [12:29] dalfz: vim-nox would probably work [12:29] shokcheck your PM [12:29] knoppix can be installed [12:29] but its probably the best liveCD available [12:29] for hardware detection etc [12:29] sipior, it did, thanks [12:30] btw, i may have gotten it originally with synaptic [12:30] and i def tried removing it with terminal [12:30] if that makes a difference [12:30] sipior [12:31] cypha: it shouldn't make a difference, but i certainly don't see the package in the main repositories. check that the package name is correct. [12:32] /usr/bin/ggl-qt %F [12:32] ./usr/bin/ggl-qt %F [12:32] init[1]: right, those will work with the fx5200 chip [12:33] whereas the newer ones, offered in unbuntu 8.10 and 9.04 won't [12:33] perbl: but why doesn't ubuntu ship it === kb is now known as Guest99012 [12:33] cypha: try the package "google-gadgets-qt" [12:33] ubuntu does [12:33] just enable the proprietary drivers [12:33] if you have xorg up, just check under hardware drivers [12:33] perbl: it doesn't work ! its not even listed in those drivers [12:33] if one were to install Ubuntu onto a C2d Macbook Pro.. would they use the 64 Disk? [12:34] perbl: i mean proprietary drivers [12:34] gartral: either would be fine [12:34] ok, so how do i remove it again? [12:34] Ok, would asking what I would have to do do diagnoise my problem be appropriate for this chat room... because if I knew what was wrong and could fix it without reinstalling i think i would just stay with linux [12:34] excuse me [12:34] ubuntu [12:34] init[1]: then install them manually [12:34] sipior: 8 gb RAM.. I think I'll go 64 [12:34] cypha: apt-get purge [12:34] sipior, how do i properly remove it again? [12:34] just apt-get install nvidia-glx-173 or something like that [12:35] init[1]: enable proprietary drivers first (restricted) [12:35] ShockF: still there? [12:35] Can I have some help disabling a network card (forever) ? [12:35] TimeToChoose: simplest just to ask your question, giving us all the data that you have. if someone can help, they probably will :-) [12:35] Currently when I try to boot to ubuntu I will get the loading screen and then it is just black [12:35] sipior: YOU DID IT MISTER [12:35] thanks [12:36] It will show the ubuntu logo and loading... then nothing happens [12:36] so .hi there ...is there anyone familiar with the TOR software ? [12:36] snoopy: blacklist it [12:36] It happened after I enabled the restricted drivers for my ati video card i believe but I have been without it for about a month now so it is hard to remember [12:37] has any nice person made a package to install cuda? [12:37] doing it by hand is a royal pain [12:37] TimeToChoose: if you let the machine boot, and then hit "Ctrl-Alt-F1", do you get a console? [12:37] at least envyng installs the nvidia drivers for you [12:37] so cairo-dock, awr, and what? [12:37] never tried [12:37] what is consoler? [12:37] terminal? [12:37] TimeToChoose: more or less, yes. [12:37] gartarl: do I edit this file? /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [12:38] and what should I do if I am able to get it... sorry i will try to keep my writing on one line [12:38] Cairo-dock, AWN, and what's the 3rd choice for the mac-look? [12:39] TimeToChoose: i would remove the ati drivers you installed, since you mention that the problem occurred after you added them. [12:39] sipior: Forgive my ignorance, but how would I do that from terminal [12:40] hi [12:40] so ..no one knows some deep information about TOR software ........ [12:40] TimeToChoose: i would check /var/log/dpkg.log to get the name of the driver package you installed (unless you remember the name already), and then try "sudo apt-get remove " [12:40] parapanghelescu: what do you want to know? [12:41] parapanghelescu: there are other places to ask; this is generally an ubuntu support channel... [12:41] if i reslolve all dependency for specific package from jaunty can i then install it to hardy [12:42] chetnick > I have a problem .....tor, privoxy and firefox are all installed .....I run firefox and the first page ( home page is displayed ) - after that, browser is not working ..... [12:42] sipior > do you happen to know a support channel for TOR ? [12:42] pale: not really, you need to have dependencies installed on hardy too.

[12:43] https://wiki.torproject.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ parapanghelescu [12:43] chetnick, but it will work then [12:43] parapanghelescu: #tor in fact, does exist.

I have xbindkeys set using xte to run Alt+F4 -- and this is triggered with Ctrl+Click - however, for some reason when the 'alt f4' executes, control remains clicked, and so it takes me to the terminal as though I had typed: "Ctrl+Alt F4" - I tried "keyup Control_L" and it doesn't seem to do anything.

[12:57] 124? [12:57] gartral: i'm skeptical. in any event, look for "Shockwave Flash" in big, bold letters.

[13:01] what resolution is it setting it to ? [13:01] My OS appears to have confused itself into thinking the root disk is 100% filled, `df`returning 100% and no new file creation allowed... but it's not even remotely full. I was playing around with mounting --bind and symlinks when it happened - Any ideas? [13:01] I don't know [13:01] sipior: should I remove the VLC plugin/ [13:01] burkmat, maybe some runaway process still has a file handle open, even though youve deleted the file [13:02] my monitor just says that it's not allowed and that I should set it to 1280x1024 [13:02] carpii, Rebooted... Wouldn't that have fixed it? [13:02] gartral: not necessarily. just install the adobe plugin, i believe they can coexist. if it causes problems, then by all means remove it. [13:02] ah, yes, i would have thought so :p [13:02] anyone running an ATI 200M Express graphics chipset here? [13:03] bonjour [13:03] hello [13:03] guys.. how to figure out my graphics card ?

[13:12] indus: i have a HP Pavilion dv1000 (pretty old but still alive) [13:13] roxanna: is that a netbook? [13:13] indus: i am currently running xubuntu on it... [13:13] gartral: not sure, how can I chack that [13:13] indus: nope, not a netbook [13:13] roxanna : i have 256 mb ram 735 mhz processor..still alive and going strong.... [13:13] indus: no, its not a netbook.. its not as powwerful as a netbook [13:14] gartral: so i should not try installing and/or running netbook remix on it then...? [13:14] haloo [13:14] onyx does it take any more time to see your own post in this channel than it does too lift your finger off of the Return key? [13:14] When you have to specify -display in certain commands, to specify the X display for which the command is to be used -- what do you put there? [13:14] roxanna: it wouldn't hurt anything, no [13:14] roxanna: more details about specs ? netbook is for eee, especially [13:15] rameshwo: with Linux np, forget vista heh :) [13:15] roxanna: ok i dont recommend installing it [13:15] gartral: well even if I see 1,3s lag my post is posted on enter up [13:15] DasEi: that's wrong UNR wsa desinged too run on the Dell mini series, and Acer Aspire One serise, the EEE is *just* pwerful enough to work with UNR [13:15] roxanna: the unr is optimised for newer power saving chips in netbooks so it may not work correctly on urs [13:16] My main problem is I recently bought a Dell mini 9 and i have the 64gb runcore ssd and 2gb ram.. but my current laptop is still working smoother overall better than the mini 9...(the netbook is a bit laggy) ok thanx for everyones help... i guess i should have never invested in a netbook [13:16] thx, gartral [13:16] Can someone give me a hand with http://pastebin.com/m6782070e [13:16] onyx: then your fine, and your drivers just arnt interpreting signal strength, don't worry about it [13:16] gartral: ok thank you [13:16] roxanna: which os did your netbook come wwith? [13:16] gartral & indus: thank you [13:17] roxanna: netbook remix should work well on that mini [13:17] indus: my netbook came with windows xp pro sp3 initially but i recently installed UNR because it started lagging too much.. yeah UNR works way better than the os pre installed [13:17] roxanna: and now you want to try it on the old hp? am i right? [13:18] and I liked the layout of UNR so i was wondering if i could install/run it on my current hp pavillion [13:18] yeah its old BUT it runs way better than the netbook [13:18] roxanna: if it has 512 mb ram its worth a try i think :) [13:19] roxanna: i wonder whether it can be installed on a desktop :P [13:19] it looks good [13:19] ok ill try the preview i geuss.. yes i like the layout so much i wouldnt mind it on a desktop [13:19] ok ill be back [13:20] indus: the dell mini desktops can run UNR... but you need ACPI=OFF at installation [13:20] gartral: thanks my friend :) ill keep that in mind. But i dont have a laptop nor do i want to ever own one :) [13:21] gartral: so whats with the acpi = off anyway [13:22] using 9.04 on my laptop, when i set resolution to 800x600 the lower 1/3 of my screen gets 'cut off" all other resolutions trough 640x480 to 1440x900 works fine tho [13:22] Hello, I have networking problems. I am on wireless lan, signal is around 70-90%. All internetactivitis is mostly awful slow. Sometimes it takes several minutes to just load a simple page like google. Other times it times out and I have to refresh. [13:22] dani_: can you verify that the problem is not exhibited using a wired network? [13:23] indus: if your computer has a wierd power managment, then Linux might crash on boot... acpi=off turns off the on board power managment, and makes the kernal run the power managment itself, at the cost of some advanced shutdown features like hibernate and sleep [13:23] sipior: yes, the other comp on the lan is wired. Also awful slow. [13:23] gartral: isnt the kernel mature enough yet to run hibernate and sleep? [13:24] dani_: so the problem is with your network upstream, not your wireless situation. [13:24] gartral: also what is the link between graphics cards and hibernate?? [13:24] dani_: do you have any sort of firewall running between the internet and your network? [13:24] indus: in therory, yes, but hibernation takes *forever* without acpi [13:24] indus: at least in my experiences [13:25] btw , my cd rom doesnt recognised in jaunty ( this is unrelated) [13:25] sipior: yeah, I guess [13:25] sorry let me rephrase the question; 800x600 cuts off the bottom of my screen, how do i solve it? [13:25] i filed bug in lauchpad too [13:25] indus: not really sure, never ran into that problem [13:25] dani_: is the problem recent? [13:25] so i have no cd dvd drive in jaunty and therefore cant play any damn thing === mvatki_away is now known as mvatki [13:26] so,jaunty i dislike a lot [13:26] indus: how come? [13:26] and i dont think they are interested in fixing the bug either' [13:26] sipior: not sure. Both comps are seperately connected to a switch. [13:26] Can somebody please tell me how to set up network manager that eth0 and wlan device is not activated at default?? [13:26] gartral: u know, i have a weird problem with ubuntu confusing my cdrom and harddisk [13:26] dani_: did the problem start recently? [13:27] sipior: yes, quite recent. It might have something to do with the router setup (?) [13:27] what do you do when gdm starts up and your monitor says input singal out of range? === peterfox20 is now known as jtheuer [13:27] indus: as far as I'm able too tell... it's squarly on Nvidia's shoulders with the Hibernation corruption [13:27] gartral: i had to use a lot of boot options to boot live cd in intrepid [13:27] dani_: had something changed with your router setup recently? [13:27] indus: are your CDrom and HDD on the same IDE channel? [13:27] gartral: hmm u know i dont know how to check that but maybe yes' [13:28] wWales: what do you mean by "cut off" the bottom of the screen is just black? [13:28] indus: sudo lshw | pastebinit (if you have pastebinit) [13:28] pastebinit whats that [13:28] funkyhat: i mean the lower part of the screen is "outside" the monitor :) [13:28] wWales: tried different refresh rate? [13:28] indus sudo apt-get install pastebinit [13:29] can i just use pastebin? [13:29] !info pastebinit | indus [13:29] indus: pastebinit (source: pastebinit): command-line pastebin client. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.11.2-0ubuntu1 (jaunty), package size 21 kB, installed size 344 kB [13:29] indus: pastebinit makes pastebinning easyer [13:29] gartral: oops forgot iam at work now not same system [13:29] cankoy: the nvidia tool lets me choose "auto" or "60" same problem in both [13:30] gartral: could you tell me what to check ? i will behome in some time i think [13:30] I need some help search for and removing files from certain dates. The format is like this 06-10-2009-08-22-30.avi and the files are in several folders. [13:30] indus: ok, what time do you get off (in GMT 0, if you would) so I know when to get back on [13:30] hi [13:30] indus: do a sudo lshw and look for the IDE section... [13:30] gartral: 45 min from now i will be online again [13:31] having isp problems [13:31] gartral: i have this cdrom with some big old wide cable and the HDD connect with SATA [13:31] I think my wireless internet transmitter is not working get .10 Mb/s upload on speedtest.net [13:31] wWales: there's Prefs > Display menu, but I dont know if it works for the proprietary nvidia driver. [13:31] gartral: but frankly that cdrom cable says HDD cable i think! [13:32] conkoy: it automagically opens the nvidia tool instead :( [13:32] indus: ok, so there not even the same type, nvm that then... [13:32] sipior: yes some changes were made in the router setup not long ago, but can't remember exactly what. I am trying to connect to the router setup right now, but it sais "connecting to 192.168.80.100" and never finishes [13:33] indus: what mobo is the offending computer running on? [13:33] gartral: and i have an error at boot , ata 1 soft reset failed device not ready [13:33] gartral: asus amd 690 g chipset [13:33] locale prints out a strange error: locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory [13:33] indus: asus... oh... [13:33] Anyone know what it could be? [13:34] wWales: what is the actual resolution of your monitor? [13:34] gartral: i never had issues with hardy or older either asus or msi [13:34] How do I set my locale to en_GB? [13:34] locale_all, that is. [13:34] dani_: well, the precise changes are probably pretty important, in this case :-) are you sure the ip given is the correct one? does it match your default gateway? (try "route -n" to see) [13:34] hello all [13:34] funkyHat: best is 1440x900 which works just perfectly [13:34] JohnWittle, run this command dpkg --force-all -i libc6_2.3.6-0ubuntu20_i386.deb [13:34] Hi everyone [13:35] I'm here to keep order in the room and make sure everyone chats nicley :) [13:35] funkyHat: but some things i need to run in 800x600 and then this becomes a problem [13:35] funkyHat: its a laptop monitor using a geforce go 6150 if its any help :) 180.53 nvidia driver [13:35] JohnWittle, then dpkg-reconfigure locales [13:35] indus: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBugDay/20090212 [13:35] i found my cell phone (nokia 2630) via hcitool scan but when i try obexftp to access it, on my phone it wants a 'pin' - what is the pin? :) have i to declare it somewhere? [13:35] JohnWittle, then dpkg-reconfigure locales [13:35] sipior: http://pastebin.com/dc28b618 [13:35] sorry [13:35] how to install rarlab on ubuntu 9.04 [13:35] raghu125coorg: the first command produced an error, that package does not exist === john is now known as Guest25773 [13:36] cankoy: manged to start the ubuntu display conf tool, same results :( === daplumpkin is now known as iAmSoAlone [13:36] hello how to install rarlab [13:36] JohnWittle, run this command dpkg --force-all -i libc6 === Guest25773 is now known as Severity1 [13:36] dani_: you have the default route listed as 192.168.0.1. can you access the router configuration at that address?

[13:38] raghu125coorg: it's the latest version [13:38] dani_: well, whatever you changed :-) [13:38] JohnWittle, then run the second command [13:39] dani_: might look around and see if the thing has some diagnostic routines that you can run. [13:39] hai [13:39] Ok wtf? [13:39] indus, cut out the swearing NOW please. Even when masked swearing is not permitted [13:39] sipior: it was a friend... [13:39] sipior: here under WAN-field it sais: IP Address : 192.168.80.100 [13:39] dani_: ah... [13:39] I get the error /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXi when trying to compile the cuda sdk [13:39] does this mean I have screwed up my ld.so.conf? [13:39] but who the hell are you ? and how am i disrupting ? [13:40] is this a joke? [13:40] funkyHat: i can run the resolution in Wine if i emulate a desktop but then its only using 800x600 of my 1440x900 screen, it works as a workaround but id rather use "real" 800x600 [13:40] indus: no [13:40] sipior: and Default Gateway : 192.168.80.1 === _root is now known as `Michael [13:40] helolo [13:40] So I was banned once for saying wtf, but people swearing multiple times is okay? [13:40] explain plz [13:40] wWales: check the output of xrandr (though I doubt it will show meaningful output under nvidia) [13:40] indus: hold on... [13:40] hello can i learn how to install winrar [13:40] !wtf | apeiron [13:40] apeiron: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.

[13:41] indus: i think ChatWatch is confused. best just to let it go, i think. [13:41] apeiron, relax [13:41] mypapit, I am relaxed. [13:41] sipior: ok but is that a bot? [13:41] mypapit, I'm quite amused, in fact. [13:41] indus: as soon as my pastebuffer decides to do its job >.< [13:41] apeiron, stop disrupting the chat room NOW please. If you continue, you *will* be dealt with. [13:42] ChatWatch, ROFL [13:42] ChatWatch, please stop [13:42] apeiron, in my place we use it for greeting, though it stands for completely different meaning lol [13:42] Does anybody know if samsung's ecogreen HDDs have a jumper to set the sata standard to 150? [13:42] mypapit, wow... really? [13:42] ChatWatch: internet tough guys are amusing, but best in #ubuntu-offtopic [13:42] ChatWatch: please join #ubuntu-ops [13:42] ChatWatch, erm, I work across ALL the mIRC networks... I also work in co-operating with ISPs and the central mIRC server to deal with abusers and those who interfear with my work. I suggest you let me back into #perl. [13:42] ChatWatch, righto, chief [13:42] Myrtti, why? is there a problem in that room? [13:42] apeiron, yeah.. i know.. btw i'm a licensed ham radio operator.. my callsign is 9w2wtf [13:42] lol [13:43] My point is that the ops here are hypocrites regarding the swearing issue. [13:43] ChatWatch: no [13:43] :) [13:43] cankoy: how do i produce an outputfile from xrand? [13:43] apeiron: you're entitled to your opinion [13:43] dani_: does your router lie directly between the internet and your network? no other home routers in between? [13:43] ChatWatch: please, join. [13:43] indus: that link is out of date, ill return [13:43] Myrtti, I have actual evidence, thanks. [13:43] gartral: ok thanks [13:43] apeiron, diffrent ops, different issue [13:43] wWales: the command is xrandr, use terminal [13:44] and moving on... [13:44] is the tomcat6 installer from synaptic good in 9.04 or should I follow the howto article on compiling from source I found online [13:44] mypapit, Different op, same issue. I said what I said that got me banned before, nothing happened. [13:44] Inconsistent and / or hypocritical. [13:44] cankoy: 800x600 59.0 60.0 72.0 [13:44] i can't seem to find a good answer to that question (the article is dated in 2007 so I can't trust the article saying it does't work) [13:44] apeiron: this discussion is useless and offtopic here, if you want to discuss it with someone, I'm sure you're familiar about where to do so, not here [13:45] wWales: do you see 'LVDS connected' in output? === mvatki is now known as mVatki_away [13:45] Myrtti, you're entitled to your opinion about 'useless'. :) [13:45] someone, who is chatwatch?? [13:45] indus: please just ignore them [13:45] indus, please ignore it/him [13:46] termleech, better to download and then do make install [13:46] raghu125coorg: thanks [13:46] What's the purpose of ~/.icons? If I put a homemade SVG in there to be used in an application launcher in the panel, am I using the folder correctly? [13:46] raghu125coorg: that's the answer i was looking for [13:47] aah ok [13:47] Hi! I have problem with Rhythmbox. It doesn't start anymore. When running in terminal, then there isn't any errors either. [13:47] conkoy: its says in nvidia tool signal: LVDS [13:48] Hey same problem like artti [13:48] has [13:48] cankoy: its says Signal: LVDS and Connection: Dual [13:49] cankoy: xrandr output doesnt mention it [13:49] yo [13:50] case closed, next [13:50] gartral: ok iam headed home now, ill see you in 30 min i hope [13:50] anyone is using a wireless keyboard and mouse? [13:50] good bye folks, tata [13:51] felix: I do [13:51] onyx, which brand? was easy to install? [13:51] indus: in any case, even obfuscated swearing is swearing, and we ask you kindly not to do so, as this channel is of many different cultures and ages :-) [13:51] wWales: using a second monitor? [13:51] wWales: like dual head? [13:51] cankoy: no just using the laptop monitor [13:52] felix_: well I don't know if it tells you something it's "Medion" and it was auto detected on install [13:52] felix: I use Logitech Cordless desktop,, no configuration at all, and the media works as expected [13:52] hi [13:52] wWales: you welsh? :) [13:52] Psykopaten, both mouse and keyboard? [13:53] sipior: Allright. D-Link wireless router -internetconnector is connected to LAN4-conn on Allied Telesys. D-Link wireless router LAN3-conn is connected to the wired PC. And the wireless router is wireless connected to this comp. Allied Telesys LAN3-conn is connected to Linksys adapter-Ethernetconn. Linksys adapter Phoneconn is connected to the phone. [13:53] Keoheleth: Im swedish, used to work in wales tho and how i got the nick ;) [13:53] lol [13:54] felix: yes.. some older releases of ubuntu (2-3 years ago) didn't autoconfigure my mousebuttons, but now everything works [13:54] artti: did you tried rhythmbox reinstall [13:55] cankoy: thanks for looking into the problem, im afraid ill have to leave for work now tho :( [13:55] onyx, several times. [13:55] Psykopaten, im trying to find the exact model (i want to be sure that it works before buying it; if yours works perfect from install i want that one :) [13:55] artti: I have the same problem so if I get something I will tell ya [13:56] onyx, okey [13:56] Psykopaten, could you give me exact model name? [13:57] felix: Don't know the keyboard, doesn't say, but the mouse is a Mx700 [13:57] What's the purpose of ~/.icons? If I put a homemade SVG in there to be used in an application launcher in the panel, am I using the folder correctly? [13:58] Psykopaten, its bloothooth? [13:58] sipior: do you see anything suspicious ? [13:58] usually, the more popular a product is, the more probable that linux distributions detect the products automatically [13:58] Psykopaten, is one of these? http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/keyboards/keyboard_mice_combos/&cl=es,es [13:59] no. standard cordless 4 1/2 years old [13:59] Psykopaten, i know, but i tryed tvisto and microsoft and both were unsupported [14:00] Psykopaten, is one of these? http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/keyboards/keyboard_mice_combos/&cl=es,es [14:00] dani_: heh, simple :-) so the problem would seem to be in the D-Link, since network traffic is slow on both wired and wireless nodes. is traffic between the wired and wireless systems slow also? [14:00] ok, I haven't tried any other multi-media keyboards other than that one I have [14:01] sipior: not sure, as I don't move big data between the two comps [14:02] sipior: so there must be something wrong in the router config? [14:03] Where live session stores information for window manager (screen settings) ? [14:03] dani_: i think the best course of action is to find out precisely what your friend did on your router, and then either undo it, or modify it further to eliminate the problem. if your router has a logging capability, try turning it on and see what sort of things come out. [14:03] what is the rpm for ssh server for ubuntu [14:03] sipior: alright, thanks so far [14:03] mrvdv, there is no rpm [14:03] dani_: no trouble, good luck sorting things out [14:03] cause i cant see ssh anywhere [14:04] artti: sudo rhythmbox works for me [14:04] mrvdv apt-get install ssh [14:04] how to join i other room? === skunkworks637 is now known as skunkworks_ [14:04] says its not there [14:04] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto mrvdv [14:04] i want to join in freebsd room [14:05] mrvdv apt-cache search ssh [14:05] what comman shoul i type?

[14:12] no [14:12] cant find package [14:12] mrvdv, how did you install ubuntu? which version? have you eanbled source list? [14:12] harahauk, it may just be an issue with the way the arguments are handled (if it's looking for an argument that's not there, and the arguments aren't handled properly, then when the array is indexed, it will segfault) [14:12] mrvdv, do apt-get update [14:12] 9.02 or whatever it is [14:12] its doing a update now but i cant see nothing to do with ssh in it [14:12] harahauk, is there some other behaviour that you're experiencing that you hoped could be explained by that? [14:12] eurythmia: true, but it also segfaults on a share i had, forced me to reboot a server to resolve the issue [14:13] neh - still didn't work. [14:13] What's the purpose of ~/.icons? If I put a homemade SVG in there to be used in an application launcher in the panel, am I using the folder correctly? [14:13] harahauk, ah. that may be a different issue. [14:13] after registering how to login? [14:13] harahauk, hold on a moment. [14:13] ShazbotMcNasty: what was the full command [14:13] eurythmia: yeah, if cifs crashes i cant "sudo umount -f sharename", only option afaik is reboot [14:13] ok :) [14:14] External $alignc ${fs_used /media/Big TB} / ${fs_size /media/Big TB} $alignr ${fs_free_perc /media/Big TB}% [14:14] ${fs_bar /media/Big TB} [14:14] any one can help me > ubuntu dosn't manage my NC and desktop-effects is not working [14:14] plz [14:15] hey people, how to run a command with low priority possible?

From there, we may be able to tell what's causing the segfault. [14:19] least favourable, rather [14:19] trying touse the usb startup disk creator on a 1gb usb pen with the new version of ubuntu but the allow changes to be saved option seems to be grayed out any reason why???/ [14:19] hi! if i want to keep track on (security) updates for ubuntu (and debian), which site should i keep an eye on?

I hope I can help you figure it out :) [14:23] pringrim: niceness is not the same as processor usage. if a low priority task is the only one available to run, it will consume a large fraction of the cpu time (since it's not competing with anything else).

[14:26] Houba1986: try sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [14:26] yes [14:26] blackghost, what do you mean by "manage"? does it say something like eth0 is "Not Managed" in the Network config icon? [14:26] its detected [14:26] question..is it possible to get the updates for ubuntu on usb to install on a pc that has no internet connection? [14:26] yes [14:26] confirmed sipior!

[14:27] pringrim: i'm clearly not getting what you're trying to do, and what results you expect. is there a reason you're running the script via nice if you're the only one on the system? [14:27] lianimator, no libs are usually required for skype video - works out of the box for me? [14:27] its connected to lan and am using it now [14:27] blackghost, edit /etc/network/interface [14:27] but i cant see it [14:28] is it possible to get the updates for ubuntu on usb to install on a pc that has no internet connection? [14:28] ZykoticK9: I noticed that when I install eclipse from the repo, it was working.. do you have eclipse? [14:28] any please [14:28] sipior, ok lets me try explain better my situation.. [14:28] blackghost, if you've set a static IP then NetworkManager isn't Managing you nic - you are... [14:28] blackghost, run this as sudo or root [14:28] Houba1986: can you copy and paste what you have into xorg.conf(into the blank xorg.conf) and then save it [14:28] pringrim: also, how are you invoking the command in the script? [14:28] raghu125coorg: what do you mean? i have the lines i want to add to xorg.conf, but all i have is what i think is backup files, i don't have the original xorg.conf file [14:28] lianimator, no eclipse for me [14:29] Houba1986: try to salvage the most recent xorg.conf backup.

My bot run a tcl that execute this command one time per day: " exec /home/user/script.sh " and the contect of this script is somenthing like it: " nice -n 19 perl $PISG_DIR/pisg.pl ". Right, if I just run the command nice directly in terminal, all run fine with no cpu abuse, but from script still getting 90% or more cpu usage. [14:31] blackghost, if you have interface then open the file and add these lines [14:31] : thats what am talking about,, its working but its not managed by networkmanager [14:32] helo, check out OpenArena for one (it's basically OpenSource Quake 3) [14:32] I am thinking about upgrade my filesystem to ext4, it's secure that update? will my ubuntu works good?

[14:33] is it possible to get the updates for ubuntu on usb to install on a pc that has no internet connection? [14:34] Yes. [14:34] Se apt on cdrom. [14:34] blackghost, is it wireless card? [14:34] !aptoncd | ShKoDrAnI [14:34] no [14:34] ShKoDrAnI: APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers - See also !offline [14:34] the wi-Fi card working good [14:35] Hello: Is it possible to run 'privileged' programs without using sudo? [14:35] scunizi: that would be for a Cd/Dvd purpose right? [14:36] Because I want to be able to run "sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart" without using sudo, so people using my guest user can run the command. [14:36] hey guys what is the best recommened cheap VGA card that works with compiz etc... no drivers issues is 100% compatible with ubuntu [14:36] ideally slim [14:36] as its for a mini-itx [14:36] ShKoDrAnI: yes.. but once the packages are downloaded you can probably copy them across to a usb key.. or just download what you need from packages.ubuntu.com [14:37] pringrim: try running nice at a higher level (nice exec foo.sh...) i imagine nice is setting a value which is lost once the shell spawned by your script vanishes. [14:37] there is that monitors database in /usr/share/apps//guidance how know that which monitor from list is mine ? === |Mithran| is now known as Mithran [14:37] scunizi: do u have to be in ubuntu for APTonCD? [14:38] ShKoDrAnI: not sure I've never used it. [14:38] raghu125coorg> any thing === marius is now known as Guest56683 [14:39] Hey, can the Ubuntu install disk be used more than once? [14:39] scunizi: thanks [14:39] ShKoDrAnI, you have to be in Ubuntu - it basically makes and APT image of the system you're running it on and copies it to the CD - then you can use the CD on the offline system. [14:39] EwanT: as many times as you want.. you can even copy it and pass it around.. [14:39] Awesome, thanks. [14:40] ZykoticK9: thats right, i was lookin at the website its for ubuntu [14:40] but the thing is that the pc that has internet its on XP [14:40] Wow.. [14:40] hi, anybody can tell me where i can find the diff.gz of the mainline kernel builds? [14:40] is there a different way to get the updates/app [14:40] ? [14:41] ShKoDrAnI, how you do this today ? [14:41] what u mean? [14:41] ShKoDrAnI, you could manually download the DEB files and install them via point-click or command line - but you'll run into dependency issues on the updates I'm sure. [14:41] how have i done till now? [14:42] ShKoDrAnI, yep [14:42] well haven't done any yet [14:42] just got ubuntu installed lately === j is now known as Guest48788 [14:43] hey guys what is the best recommened cheap VGA card that works with compiz etc... no drivers issues is 100% compatible with ubuntu, ideally slim === Guest56683 is now known as marius [14:43] ShKoDrAnI: you'd think that there would be an easy way to do this. It would be a great help for an administrator of numerous machines. Maybe by creating your own mirror and grabbing the files from there. === marius is now known as Guest57172 [14:44] scunizi: that would i would thought as well [14:44] Snake007uk: nvidia .. check out newegg.com for deals [14:44] ShKoDrAnI: I suggest you borrow the internet connection from XP just for the updates, or enable Internet Connection Sharing on XP if both computers are on a LAN. [14:44] hey all... [14:45] ZykoticK9: the DEB file would have the the updates right [14:45] ? [14:45] Snake007uk, i don't think the card you're asking for exists. I have always had great luck with Nvidia cards under linux - but I'm not sure that you could call them "cheap". Good luck. [14:45] all the* [14:45] I have a T60 thinkpad, and ubuntu is not detecting the wired lan card... [14:45] sorry [14:45] any suggestions on where I could getthe driver? [14:45] £50 [14:46] ShKoDrAnI, it's not a DEB file, it "files" one for each update - it would be a nightmare to try and download them individually, and you'd have no idea what order to install them in. I think you'll have to get the system online - in order to update properly. [14:46] I have a dual core computer that I've tried different harddrives, reinstalled, freememtest86'd it and it's still crashing on high CPU loads. It doesn't appear to be overheaing... but I'm led to believe the processor is the cause. How can I troubleshoot this?

I can start the extractions but for some odd reason it doesn't extract avi files. [14:50] mrvdv: you have openssh-server installed? [14:51] hi, i have a problem with my laptop, i am using ubuntu 9.04 [14:51] HELLO [14:51] jnod tell me your problem [14:51] the problem is that when i copy from usb hard disk to sata internal hard disk there's much overhead [14:51] and the system become slow [14:52] its an amd64 install [14:52] ha1331, you need to have rar installed as well [14:52] I use to get update notification but since 9.04 no more update notification i have to hit update manger manulally...bug? or is there a fix [14:52] jnod, define slow? what's the load average during the transfer? [14:52] yes, right, wait [14:52] ugliefrog: I have your problem too, I think it's the "new notification system" === jonjon_ is now known as mootz [14:53] hallo [14:53] zum ersten mal in einem irc chat ^ [14:53] Anyone know of a repo that has Bacula > 3.0 available? [14:53] hi guys. i accidentally deleted /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf. Apt file shows that it's from dhcp3-client package. However, apt-get install --reinstall dhcp3-client doesn't generated that particular config. How would I resolve that? [14:53] Nehyx: Whats the secret fix :) [14:53] top - 15:53:29 up 9 min, 5 users, load average: 0.94, 0.63, 0.37 [14:53] *generate [14:54] frostburn: after 10 seconds of dd if=/dev/zero of=/internal/sda/ext4/partition [14:54] frostburn: load average: 0.94, 0.63, 0.37 [14:54] ugliefrog: I have got automatic update, so, it fixes all [14:55] hey folks, would anybody please try to help with getting my keyboard to work on german macbook? I've pretty much tried all the different models/layout combinations, it's quite anoying.. [14:55] i can use "xev" and see that all the keys work, but how to find the correct settings? [14:55] jnod, i'm not too familiar with ext4, but your load averages seem on target [14:56] ugliefrog: gconftool -s --type bool /apps/update-notifier/auto_launch false [14:56] use that [14:56] frostburn: it work also on jfs ext3 and others [14:56] frostburn: i think is not related with ext4 [14:57] frostburn: also when dd to swap (off) space [14:57] Nehyx: OK done...now its automatic? [14:57] hoo-hah: unless you have a setup which you've spent some time configuring, you might see if an empty configuration file is sufficient. just "sudo touch /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf" and see if it works. there's also a complete sample file in the man page: man 5 dhclient.conf. if nothing else, remove the package and reinstall. [14:57] ugliefrog: no, now you will recibe notifications [14:57] nvm. I'd needed to apt-get --purge remove the package, and install --reinstall to get the vanilla confs back [14:57] ugliefrog: like in version 8.10 ^_^ [14:57] D best irc client for ubuntu? i find xchat very wierd [14:58] Nehyx: Sweet thats what i needed... :) thank you [14:58] and irssi is just terminal based?

[14:59] scunizi i installed it from "add/remove apps" so i think its xchat-gnome [14:59] norpan111: there is nothing wierd about xchat, it's you that did not get used to it. Try kvirc if you want nice GUI. If you want the best irc client then try irssi. [14:59] norpan111: go to system/admin/synaptic package manager and uninstall that one and install xchat..

[15:02] aluno [15:02] Well with 8.04 it takes about 20 sec from button to desktop. It may not be an issue but it bugs me. What would change and they claim about boot speeds. 17 sec. [15:03] norpan111, it is terminal based. Nothing wrong with terminal, though. === Guest63717 is now known as mar [15:03] norpan111: once you get use to irssi it's tough to use anythign else [15:03] ascheel i just prefer mirc/xchat gui =) [15:03] ascheel: A few, for example, scp hanging on sending stuff, the requirement to symlink ssh2 from /usr/bin to /usr/local/bin.

[15:10] ascheel: it become slow also when i try to mkfs.ext3 [15:10] larsaaAA: that config file is the one used to *build* the kernel. changing it will have no effect. [15:10] larsaaAA: edit the grub config directly, in other words :-) [15:10] ascheel: there is no process that sucks [15:11] jnod, if it's using CPU resources, a 'top' will show you the process using it [15:11] gartral: here's a guide on changing servers etc in irssi http://irssi.org/documentation/startup#c6 [15:11] ascheel: when i use it (with cp, or dd, or even with mkfs.ext3) it sucks cpu [15:11] sipior: ok, thanks! [15:11] ascheel: yes, i will try with dd and then tell you [15:11] scunizi: I just needed the ctrl-x, it worked, thanks [15:11] thiebaude and ascheel hi [15:11] jnod, you will need to contact the HDD manufacturer, probably. What you may need to do is check the drive for errors [15:11] gartral, awesome. :) [15:12] ascheel: its a new drive [15:12] sebsebseb, I haven't been around in awhile, but I used to hang around under the nick "Huufarted" [15:12] ascheel: i have buyed today [15:12] jnod, I've had lemons come right out of the box. [15:12] hat i'm wondering is, where does ubuntu store the keyboard mapping? [15:12] ascheel: oh [15:12] lemon = new, but still bad, product [15:12] ascheel: yes [15:12] on debian i used to configure the settings in xorg.conf [15:12] ascheel: but its the same error of the old hard drive [15:12] ascheel: wow [15:12] i realy cant connect my video card and tv true s-video. Im using intel 855gme, and if anyone could help, please... [15:13] ascheel: so, i think the error is someelse then my hard drive [15:13] ascheel: if you dont think so, no problem [15:13] thiebaude, ? [15:13] what the %wa of the top command stand for ? [15:13] jnod, it could be either issue. But I'm still going to recommend you get it checked. [15:14] %wa of the CPU i mean [15:14] wait time. [15:14] jnod, that's wait time. The time the system is waiting to hear from pieces of hardware, primarily hard drive [15:15] ascheel: well [15:15] ascheel: its too hight [15:15] ascheel: when mkfs.ext3 (or dd or whatever) it wait too much [15:15] jnod, that makes sense. What you're going to be looking for first if you think your HDD is causing you issues is new firmware from the manufacturer. [15:15] jnod, then again, it might just be a slow process! [15:16] jnod, what size HDD? [15:16] 250GB [15:16] where do I put manually installed plugins in the .mozilla folder to have them.. well.. work? [15:16] ascheel: slow process ok [15:16] hi, i'm trying to run rtorrent and it's telling me that there is a lock on the session directory. I tried to do ps -ef|grep torrent and it seems that rtorrent is not running. what can i do to find out about the lock? [15:16] ascheel: i mkfs.ext3 for many year [15:16] jnod, for that size I could easily see it taking an hour or more to format it to a new fs [15:16] ascheel: but i have never see 80% of wait time [15:16] ascheel: and so many slow [15:17] jnod, I don't know, bud. I'm sorry. Is the drive 5400 RPM or 7200? [15:17] 5400 [15:17] That IS a slow drive [15:17] Laptop? [15:17] ok ok [15:17] yes [15:17] no problem [15:18] i try a dd with my netbsd and then come back here [15:18] ok ? [15:18] jnod, I think you might just be seeing a slow drive. A high wait time (%wa) is indicative of a bottleneck at the HDD. I hope that helps you. Remember, laptop hard drives are not geared towards performance [15:18] Ok, jnod [15:18] see you, and thanks ascheel [15:18] Not sure he liked that answer [15:21] . [15:22] goodday [15:23] !hi | Spike1506 [15:23] Spike1506: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [15:23] i have a hp pavillion laptop and i just installed ubuntu (deleted the whole partition scheme etc.), now when i try to boot it gives me a grub error 21 (stage 1.5). When using the livecd to boot from first harddisk it says: disk error AA, AX = 2001, drive 80, Boot failed [15:23] hi, can anyone recommends a good mp3 player, like winamp? i dont want anything to bulky [15:23] anyone now an encoding system for ubuntu to utf8 [15:23] basically an excell file to a utf8 [15:23] !winamp | ostracon [15:23] ostracon: winamp is a windows music player. On Ubuntu you can use beep-media-player or xmms as alternative. [15:23] ostracon: you can also use Winamp in Wine, and I quite like Banshee :) [15:24] !amarok | ostracon [15:24] Sorry, I don't know anything about amarok [15:24] how should I go about writing a script which will query an online database and store the info on my computer? I need to extract certain info from the HTTP page. I am using curl to query the page, but don't know how to process the result. Is python a good choice? [15:24] anyone knows howto fix my problem with grub? [15:24] Grrr... Amarok > all for music players in Ubuntu [15:24] ostracon, audacious in the repo is very similar to Winamp and can use older versions of Winamp themes I think [15:24] ostracon: and Rythombox is default which is an ok player [15:24] lianimator: absolutely. [15:24] ascheel: I still don't understand why so many people like Amarok [15:24] sipior: thanks. [15:24] sebsebseb, ever hear of things like Ampache? [15:25] sebsebseb, or mpd? [15:25] ascheel: sounds vaguly familur I think, for both of those [15:25] ascheel: mpd the commandline one? [15:25] ascheel: media player demon? [15:25] ? [15:25] sebsebseb: ampache = server to host your music, runs off of PHP, MySQL, and Apache. Amarok plugs right into it and can play all of your music remotely, even downsampling [15:26] ascheel: and anyone can use it? [15:26] sebsebseb: and ampache also interfaces with mpd (yes the mpd you're talking about) so with all 3, you can listen to your music anywhere, anyhow, any time.

I tried going to the packages.ubuntu.com to grab them manually, but it's down, is there a better way through apt-get? [15:34] sebsebseb, yes, only ubuntu is installed [15:34] and i only have 1 harddisk [15:34] !downgrade | TDT [15:34] TDT: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system. [15:34] question2 - is there a ubuntu laptop irc channel? [15:34] arber4444, did you reboot after you activated it? what is happening? [15:34] Spike1506: I think what has happended is Grub has simpally gone wrong, or the partition/s slightly [15:34] TDT, yes, you'll have to add the repository and force version [15:34] sebsebseb: Thanks, but I'm actually wanting to just downgrade one packages [15:34] Spike1506: Clean installing would hopefuly fix it [15:35] sebsebseb, i already did a clean install [15:35] But i can still not get any sound OUT hdmi with ubuntu... [15:35] Spike1506: and same error both times? [15:35] yes [15:35] sebsebseb: Err, package. I need ssh downgraded, the newest one really screwed up some stuff. [15:35] norpan111, unfortunately it may not be supported, i'd suggest going to your device's forums and see what similar users have done [15:35] Spike1506: well as I said at the begining I would try, but yes I can't really help with this :( [15:35] its ok [15:36] Anyone know a list of USB headsets that work with ubuntu? My a4tech HD-800 doesn't [15:36] frostburn, its not supported to just have both sound and picture with hdmi in ubuntu yet? [15:36] Spike1506: have you looked through ubuntufourms or something, maybe people have had similar errors [15:36] Since my laptop only has HDMI-out . No VGA or nothing [15:36] frostburn: I'm not familiar with doing that, say I wanted the most recent openssh-client/server before the newest one, what would I have to do? [15:37] norpan111, hdmi audio is possible under ubuntu. have you verified that the audio isn't muted for hdmi?

[15:39] norpan111, in "Volume Control" the Device drop-down - do you see anything HDMI related, have you verified they are all unmted? I'm affraid I've never tried what you're doing - so hopefully someone else have more suggestions. Good luck. [15:39] DaveIngram: intel graphics ??

[15:56] ThomasGHenry, DVI is a cable type, i think you're currently using regular VGA [15:56] ThomasGHenry: DVI is the kind of connector that's usually white, and has a metal cross on the right side. [15:57] it wierd lookin [15:57] can i ask some advice: Ubuntu is the only distro i've used, and the community is very helpful and friendly to new users. a prospective job/project i may be involved with uses centos and i've considered switching. How much different will centos be? I know I wll have to use yum instead of apt, how different is yum? Also, will centos have such a newbie friendly community to help me? [15:58] ThomasGHenry, both your video card and monitor would have to have DVI connectors for you to get 1920x1080 [15:58] buttons840: perhaps ask in #centos ? ::) [15:58] buttons840: ive not used a RPM based disrto in years.. [15:58] ZykoticK9: oohhh... lame! [15:58] centos still uses gnome so you wont be too confused [15:58] buttons840: probably not... afaik, centos is a bit more 'pro' if you know what I mean [15:58] buttons840: you could also get virtualbox and do some testing at home, nothing better than hands on :) [15:58] Hi [15:58] buttons840: the thing to learn about linux - is if you learn the fundamentals, those rarely change from disrto to disrto. [15:58] im sure the monitor does, but i wonder if there isn't another way... drivers or something to get it via VGA === Vlet_ is now known as Vlet [15:59] buttons840: Uh, not a whole lot... just the yum vs apt thing. [15:59] buttons840, switching distros isn't really a huge deal, much of linux is the same no matter where you go :) good luck. [15:59] how to add user to a database?

[15:59] buttons840: they have a support channel [15:59] buttons840: not as popular as this one though, by a long way [16:00] ThomasGHenry, xrandr [16:00] ZykoticK9: thx [16:00] buttons840: there will be differences between the distros here and there, but shoudn't be to difficult to pick up CentOS after using Ubuntu [16:00] how do i see the state(current speed) of the CPU in terminal ? [16:00] MadsRH: it isn't actually the network icon you removed; it's the 'notification area' [16:01] how to add user to a database (localhost in ubuntu)? [16:01] Alinn: what kind of database? === kb is now known as Guest22221 [16:02] trident523: mysql [16:02] Alinn, if it's mysql you might try mysql-admin in the repo, it's a gui mysql tool [16:02] anyone know of a video editing software that will allow me to put rick astley's face on someone elses? for ubuntu [16:02] :P [16:02] hey guys, i am new to ubuntu :) [16:02] i am now after a fresh install of version 9 [16:02] pantcho: you want to clean install? [16:02] Snomi: cinelerra will do that i think [16:03] what do you mean clean? [16:03] Dreamglider, sudo aptitude install cinelerra? [16:03] Hi - hab jaunty with a new Benq E2200HD an have to re-set the res. to 1920x1080 each new start etc.. despite using sudo nvidia-settings and saving results - when re-starting etc the res is incorrect - any tips? [16:03] i did an install of using 2 OS in the same PC [16:03] Dreamglider: check out either top or htop... or do you want a single output (not curses based?) [16:03] pantcho: ok I read it wrong [16:03] Snomi: or sudovapt-get install dreamglider [16:03] pantcho: yes your nearly fresh install of 9.04 [16:03] Snomi: or sudo apt-get install dreamglider [16:03] and now ubuntu updates want me to update 50mb and it says i cant because in "/" place i got only 40mb free ... how can it be? :) [16:03] lol'd [16:03] frybye: I forget if nvidia's control panel sets over X, but try looking in there? [16:03] ZykoticK9: how to do it in commandline? [16:04] how can I set the out put of a command to a variable? [16:04] Snomi: who were you laughing at? [16:04] ie set $string | cat /etc/hostname [16:04] Is there a way to get the bottom panel to show all your windows from all your viewports? [16:04] but better [16:04] Dreamglider, [16:04] Alinn, start googling :) i don't remember man, it's possible - i've done it. [16:04] pantcho: it's ok, I helped a guy the other day, and when I didn't guide him on the install, because he hadn't got back to me, he ended up installing Ubuntu on really smalll partitions [16:04] ZykoticK9: i googled it! [16:05] who was talking to me about sata problem ? [16:05] ZykoticK9: thanks:) [16:05] damn memory :) [16:05] Rich, if you don't get an answer here ask in $bash - amazing script suggestions there. good luck. [16:05] Snomi: hehe dont instell me ! dont know what happend there. > sudo apt-get install cinelerra [16:05] pantcho: your on Ubuntu now? [16:05] Rich: VAR="$( command )" [16:05] Vlet: how do i see the speed in htop ? [16:06] sebsebseb: thing is i got winXP on this PC and i loaded the boot cd and then install it without format like when now i boot i got 2 oses choices, ubuntu and XP. yes i am on ubuntu with pidgin [16:06] Rich: the advanced bash scripting guide has examples on that topic i recall [16:06] thanks [16:06] pantcho: did you do a partition install? [16:06] psst, found out ATI + DRI + composting = unsability. Someone needs to warn me of these things! >.> [16:06] pantcho: or did you install inside WIndows with Wubi? [16:06] Dreamglider, that is why i lol'd [16:06] I don't know i followed the CD instructions [16:06] Dreamglider, thanks for the help then [= [16:06] Rich, VAR=$(command here) [16:06] the system load from the HD thats for sure ;) [16:06] meganox, heh [16:06] Snomi: np :) [16:06] pantcho: did you boot from the CD and install? if so yes you got partitions [16:06] Dreamglider, have you tried man htop? [16:07] anyone know what app-install-data-commercial is? [16:07] yeah but it says i dont have enough free space in "/" .. [16:07] that is ridicoulues [16:07] pantcho: ok lt's find out [16:07] let's find out [16:07] Dreamglider, do you know if it opens .3gp format? [16:07] Mike_lifeguard: Its the meta data needed by gnome-app-install (Add/remove programgs) for commercial applications. [16:07] pantcho: df -h and pastebin the output [16:07] !pastebin > pantcho [16:07] pantcho, please see my private message [16:07] sec [16:07] Dreamglider: you want to see the cpu usage, or the overall speed of the cpu? [16:08] Snomi: it can probably import it [16:08] Vlet: i want to see the speed [16:08] Dreamglider, ok hope so... === chaky_ is now known as chaky [16:09] pantcho: would be something if Ubuntu came with gparted the partition editor, or a graphical partition showing program, but nope [16:09] Dreamglider: oh, then just: cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep MHz [16:09] sebsebseb: http://paste.ubuntu.com/192668/ [16:09] sebsebseb: I'm pretty sure it does [16:10] so cool the pidgin it shows me a little windows telliing me your messge when i am not on the pidgin focus hehe [16:10] Mike_lifeguard: I think there might be a piechart somewhere like Windows [16:10] Mike_lifeguard: for a drive [16:10] partition whatever [16:10] there's that too [16:10] Can someone confirm that it's not currently possible to install ubuntu 9.04 on a raid (Intel Matrix) without tinkering? [16:10] System>Administration>Partition editor is Gparted, AFAICT [16:10] Mike_lifeguard: on the Live CD yes, but it does not get installed [16:10] pantcho, your / drive is only 2.3G - it's full. [16:11] Mike_lifeguard: by default [16:11] well i got 2 partitions of 40gb and 80gb [16:11] Can you convert ext3 to ext4? [16:11] without losing data [16:11] sebsebseb: did for me (intrepid when I installed, if you recall - might have changed) [16:11] i told the install cd to install ubuntu on the 40gb along with winXP [16:11] nikitis: yes, but you cannot go back yet [16:11] pantcho, ubuntu isn't install in either of those drives [16:11] i believe so nikitis , but it's a one way trip [16:11] nikitis: yes, but it may not be the real thing [16:11] sebsebseb: Applications -> Accessories -> Disk Usage Analyser is installed by default on my system [16:11] so how did it load the ubuntu without the cd? [16:11] sebsebseb, what does that mean? [16:12] sebsebseb: also, having it on the CD but not installed is just stupid -- I'm reasonably sure that's not the case [16:12] pantcho, it's booting correctly off of your 2.3G / drive i guess. [16:12] Hello everyone. Are there any plans on switching from sysklogd to rsyslog in Ubuntu ? [16:12] pantcho: yep like the other guy [16:12] so why then the install cd made a stupid 2.3 gb partition? [16:12] and not used the 40gb hd [16:13] pantcho: ,because you didn't have enough unallocated space I expect [16:13] my 2 drives have 90% free space [16:13] Mike_lifeguard, You can go back can't you if you copied files off then reformated? [16:13] Is it possible to install Jaunty onto a Intel Matrix Raid (ICH7R) without tinkering with the install process? [16:13] is there anyway to fix this? [16:13] or reinstall? [16:13] Xeon3D: I have a hardware raid using PERC 6/i installed and running great [16:14] meganox: ok yeah I got that to, thanks [16:14] nikitis: Sure, you can reformat the partition - but there is no in-place ext4->ext3 conversion [16:14] pantcho: open applications > assesories > disk usage analyser [16:14] pantcho: what does that look like :d [16:14] Mike_lifeguard, okay. Thanks. Can /boot be ext4? [16:14] Vlet: Perc 6/i? [16:14] Xeon3D: that's my controller [16:14] Mike_lifeguard: I am pretty sure gparted still does not get installed by default [16:14] yeah its full [16:14] like its gonna explode [16:15] i am not a fan of gui crap [16:15] I have a headless server, what would be the easiest method to back up a fresh ubuntu server install to a seperate partition. I want to ability to be able to restore it to it's freshly installed state without having to actually reinstall. Any suggestions? [16:15] nikitis: you don't really need a /boot partition [16:15] nikitis: I don't see why not... however note that ext4 is still very new, and may not be as stable as you'd like at this point (particularly for /boot that might be important) [16:15] the console 99% showed me.. [16:15] pantcho: something's gotta be using up all that space. Ubuntu won't just chew up space on its own [16:15] pantcho: well if you don't like GUI, I can think of other distros that are a lot more commandline than Ubuntu [16:15] Mike_lifeguard, well on Fedora, (i know it's another distro and not ubuntu) you cannot have a /boot as ext4 [16:15] Vlet: if I try to install it, it shows both my disks separately :( but windows detects the raid - only 1 disk) [16:15] I'm thinking of switching [16:15] nikitis: Fedora :) [16:16] nikitis: ah, then perhaps you should double-check the documentation [16:16] !info partimage | buttons840 [16:16] buttons840: partimage (source: partimage): backup partitions into a compressed image file. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.6.7-2ubuntu1 (jaunty), package size 275 kB, installed size 964 kB [16:16] Vlet, pantcho there is nothing eating the space there is only 2.3G in his / partition! [16:16] nikitis: I am thinking about running Fedora 11 as host, instead of 9.04 :) then maybe i'll put 9.10 back on as host [16:16] WHY i have only 2.3g in the partition? [16:16] once you install a .deb file you don't need it any more right? [16:16] thanks erUSUL i'll look into that [16:16] I'm not liking the direction Fedora is taking their distribution. I would like permanantly move to ubuntu. Not a fan of not being able to manually compile my own drivers. [16:16] why ubuntu install made this... [16:17] my hd is 40gb in size i choose to install, maybe because i told him to insall along to windowsXP then he did what he want [16:17] Xeon3D: ahh yeah, that's got something to do with it not being a true `black box` hardware raid controller you're using. Do some googling for ubuntu software raid. Windoze may tell you it's a sinlge drive, but in reality it's simplifying the software raid config for you or so I've heard [16:17] !who | pantcho [16:17] pantcho: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [16:17] ubottu: thank you [16:17] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [16:17] pantcho: I think re install and set up the partitions yourself, more control that way [16:17] ubottu: i know... [16:17] Sorry, I don't know anything about i know... [16:17] Xeon3D: linux software raid works very well and is very fast [16:17] !thanks | pantcho [16:17] pantcho: please see above [16:17] heh [16:18] sebsebseb, I'm using Fedora 11 now. With each new version it seems like Fedora is moving away from true linux [16:18] but i want to keep the partitions [16:18] and install on one that exists [16:18] nikitis: some people might say that about Ubuntu, but this isn't really the place for comments like that [16:18] hi [16:19] i've been googling a bit, but i can't find an answer. I'm using exim in a smarthost configuration, on a system with *no* local delivery. the smarthost configuration changed, and required a change in my exim configuration (specifically, authentication). however, since there's no local delivery, there was no way for exim to bounce a message back to me, to tell me something was wrong. is it possible for exim to not tell local mail clients t [16:19] hat a message is finished sending out until it's confirmed that it can get out to the smarthost? [16:19] when i install ubuntu on client host using pxe server using ks.cfg, i get the hostname as kickseed [16:19] is there a workaround for it ? [16:19] sebsebseb, on the contrary, ubuntu is more true to linux. You can still manually compile video drivers, you cannot on fedora any longer [16:19] Does anyone know if there are any plans on switching from sysklogd to rsyslog in Ubuntu ? [16:20] nikitis, i think sebsebseb was suggesting this is a more appropriatly discussed in #ubuntu-offtopic [16:20] nikitis: well Fedora 11 was released yesterday, and all this is off topic here [16:21] ZykoticK9, not exactly, i'm asking technical questions about ubuntu to help my decision [16:21] I am trying to encode an excell OFFICE file, into a utf8 text file version anyone know a software that does it on Ubuntu ? [16:21] Do I need the alternate ubuntu install disc, to use lvm? [16:22] nikitis: yes [16:22] nikitis: if you don't want / to be lvm, you can do a nornal install and then lvm your other partitions and move over to them after [16:23] meganox, can lvm drives be converted to ext4? I have 2 drives, 1st drive has 3 partitions. 1st partition is /. 2nd partition is swap, 3rd is 1st portion of lvm, and 2nd drive is 2nd portion of lvm. [16:24] meganox, the lvm drive is /home [16:24] nikitis: lvm is lower-level than the filesystem, you can format them any way you want [16:24] nikitis: Ext4 is probably better on Fedora 11 really, since the patches in the 2.6.29 kernel, Ubuntu has some patches in 2.6.28 though, and 2.6.30 is out now, but in Ubuntu you would have to install it with a ppa or whatever, with Fedora you will get it as an upgrade [16:25] Hello :) [16:25] nikitis: update not upgrade above === peter__ is now known as znh_ [16:25] Hello :) [16:25] mmmmmm [16:25] hola [16:25] nikitis: well you can make partitions 3 and the second drive one lvm 'drive' [16:25] !flash [16:25] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [16:25] kien eres? [16:26] !es | elena [16:26] elena: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [16:26] !gnash [16:26] An open source flash replacement. It is still beta software. For current status or for more info http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/ [16:26] I'm experiencing difficulties with my wireless setup. It is very unstable and the speed is terrible. I have this at multiple locations (thus different APs) [16:26] meganox, i've already made them lvm [16:26] flash on PPC ubuntu, anybody know anything? everything i've tried SUCKS. [16:26] nikitis: oh ook [16:26] znh: maybe, useless, but [16:26] fikst, your only options are gnash or swfdec [16:26] !wireless | znh [16:26] znh: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [16:26] nikitis: and they are formatted to what filesystem? [16:26] meganox, i was thinkiing of just installing ubuntu onto the / partition and telling ubuntu about the lvm that's already made [16:27] meganox, ext3 [16:27] sebsebseb, thanks thou [16:27] nikitis: well then you should install ubuntu on / and not tell it to mount the other partition during install [16:28] then tell it about you lvm setup, then mount the lvm as /home [16:28] znh: ok np, but I guess your issue is more advanced for those pages [16:28] nikitis: so /home will be on / to begin with [16:28] cabrey: what's my BEST option, between those two? [16:28] nikitis: it's covered in the lvm HOWTO i believe [16:28] sebsebseb, It seems this occurs when my laptop recovers from standby. as soon I restart the adapter with ifconfig it seems to be working more stable [16:29] and, am i best off compiling them, or just downloading them through synaptic? [16:29] fikst, swfdec [16:29] fikst, compile the latest swfdec [16:29] and use checkinstall [16:29] how do i do that? [16:29] znh: luckily I am hardwired these days, so no wireless issues for me, and if I was to buy a lap top, I would make sure the hardware worked well with Linux beforehand [16:29] should i uninstall current swfdec first? [16:29] !swfdec [16:29] Sorry, I don't know anything about swfdec [16:29] fuck [16:29] fikst: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [16:29] fikst, yes [16:29] fikst: Please mind your language here. [16:29] meganox, can't i just tell it about the lvm, using the alternate cd? [16:30] !info swfdec [16:30] Package swfdec does not exist in jaunty [16:30] nikitis: if you're comfortable with the lvm commands you might, i haven't tried though [16:30] hi, i seem to have screwed up my system, running dpkg --configure returns: dpkg uable to access dpkg status area; Read-only file system ... anyone come across this before? d [16:31] sebsebseb, I had the opportunity to get this laptop for few bucks.. I think that's why, heh. [16:31] <[Crussd2]> how do i active Beryl? [16:31] meganox, the alternate cd has lvm gui [16:31] nikitis: well you know more than me then ;) [16:31] [Crussd2], Beryl has been merged with Compiz, so it's refered as compiz-fusion [16:31] fikst: Adobe Flash in general can be buggy and even have security issues, there have been articles about that even. Gnash is getting there and same thing for Swfdec, but they aren't quite as good as Adobe Flash. [16:31] meganox, i just don't know much about ext4 [16:32] shona: I think you need sudo for that... try "sudo dpkg --configure" and enter your password if prompted [16:32] !compiz > [Crussd2] [16:32] [Crussd2], please see my private message [16:32] meganox, and how to convert [16:32] ha [16:32] okay [16:32] nikitis: i'm pretty sure it's filesystem-agnostic [16:32] erUSUL: I ran all the updates and still can't enable compiz. What was that factoid again for Intel? [16:32] !intel [16:32] Ubuntu 9.04 has a known regression for some Intel graphics support. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/IntelPerformance and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130582 for more information. [16:32] !intel [16:32] znh: well wireless is one of those things, not all hardware manufactures suppourt it properly for Linux or at all, but what makes things interesting is how, sometimes a wireless won't just work in Ubuntu, but it will work no problem in another distro such as Mandriva [16:32] [Crussd2]: If you would like to come to #compiz, we can help you there [16:33] <[Crussd2]> thx [16:33] thanks erUSUL and Mike_lifeguard! [16:33] DaveIngram: i think that perhaps intel carsd are now blacklisted in compiz... [16:33] DaveIngram: that thread has very good solutions, btw [16:33] sebsebseb, that is certainly interesting. do you have any leads why? [16:33] erUSUL: no that's not correct [16:33] nikitis: there will be plenty of tutorials if you search for "ext3 ext4 convert tune2fs" [16:33] Mike_lifeguard: I did the second one [16:33] <[Crussd2]> how do i installing GfxBoot at jaunty?? [16:34] DaveIngram: still having problems? Didn't work for me either. Try bleeding-edge if you can stomach it... works like a charm for me [16:35] DaveIngram: I /think/ they've fixed everything in the bleeding-edge stuff except the MTRR bug(s) [16:35] DaveIngram: for which fixmtrr.sh is a workaround [16:35] <_PiLoT_> hey guys whats the command to identify what devices are plugged intoi usb [16:35] _PiLoT_: lsusb [16:35] _PiLoT_: lsusb [16:35] <_PiLoT_> cheers [16:35] Mike_lifeguard: what chipset do you have? [16:36] <[Crussd2]> !lsusb [16:36] Sorry, I don't know anything about lsusb [16:36] znh: there was a guy I tried to help, (sadly he ended up buying a new lap top with Vista and staying with it since it worked so well with 8GB RAM in the end, because some sort of 3GB RAM and slowness/lag issue), Ubuntu 8.10 and his wireless woudn't just work, but the Mandriva Live CD/DVD and it did. Mandriva does wireless differnetly from Ubuntu 8.10. [16:36] znh: in my brackets the lag issue was with 8.10 [16:36] Mike_lifeguard: so the bleeding edge is just continue on from the optimal and do the last step? [16:36] is there an nvidia package for 185.18.14 ?? [16:36] <_PiLoT_> ubutnu wont find my phone [16:36] * DaveIngram opens it up again [16:36] When I come back from sleep mode, the graphics on my moniter are messed up. [16:37] or 185.18.08 ? [16:37] DaveIngram: no, I think you have to revert back to stock and then do bleeding-edge [16:37] or anything :) [16:37] DaveIngram: but if you know what you're doing it can be done all in one step... but I'd recommend being safe [16:37] _PiLoT_: Elaborate. What phone model is it and what do you mean by 'wont find my phone' exactly? [16:37] znh: Ubuntu 9.04 apparantly has better atheros wireless support, but otherwise I guess wireless is pretty much the same as Ubuntu 8.10 [16:37] Mike_lifeguard: what do you mean by revert back to stock? [16:37] hi, I'm a newbie [16:37] <_PiLoT_> well my phone conects to ubuntu as a usb device [16:37] sardoodledum: ok welcome [16:37] <_PiLoT_> not mass storage [16:37] is there someone who can help me troubleshoot with installation? [16:37] hey i want to know how to install kamera and chat with cam intro amsn [16:38] DaveIngram: towards the bottom it explains how to revert changes and so on. you want to go back to the normal jaunty everything before starting a bleeding-edge config [16:38] please? -.- [16:38] sardoodledum: what's the issue?

[16:39] heh, service fail :D [16:39] Naw,, Nvidia [16:39] _PiLoT_: If there isn't a linux program for your phone, you might not be able to access it like a mass storage device. My motoralla phone works with moto4lin (for example) [16:39] <_PiLoT_> !drinksallround [16:39] Sorry, I don't know anything about drinksallround [16:39] re: If anybody interested - the soloution to my non-persistant screen res. settings via nvidia-settings and a E2200HD monitor was to exit the correct res. into ~/.config/monitor.xml - that was all that was necessary...

Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr [17:26] ok [17:26] is there a channel for rhythmbox support? [17:26] kakouts, pas de probleme [17:26] so bye all [17:27] when i run rhythmbox it keeps prompting me to search for a plugin (application/x-drivel decoder) for some reason, which it can't find [17:27] i suspect it's faulty format detection or something [17:27] What do I type in the terminal to view a pdf file? [17:27] ethereality: evince [17:27] thanks :) [17:28] i'm learning the terminal and it's coool [17:28] okay thanks bye [17:28] heh, don't see that often [17:28] grmm ok getting some errors m0biu5 [17:28] when I try to install libqimagelitz-dev aptitude says it's not available.

[17:31] anyone know why rhythmbox would keep prompting to search for an "application/x-drivel decoder" plugin? [17:31] swindler, yes [17:31] tanath, because it does not know how to play that type of song file [17:31] swindler, depends on what you mean by 'safe' [17:32] nikitis, does "application/x-drivel decoder" seem like a sound format? :P [17:32] so i thinking about for example "bad" sites [17:32] hey is tehre a libwbclient0 dev package? [17:32] swindler, much safer than windows [17:32] i cant seem to find one [17:32] I had a mapped drive mounted and I updated ubuntu a few days ago and now its gone. I tried to sudo mount-a and I get a connection refused. my etc/fstab file is the same and the mounted network drive is the same what can I do [17:32] tanath, i don't know what it sounds like, but your using rhythmbox which is a "music" player [17:33] nikitis, indeed. it's my replacement for amarok until they get their heads on straight :P [17:33] nikitis, i suspect it's faulty format detection. i do have video game music that i suspect is causing it [17:33] can anyone help me with grub... my log - http://pastebin.com/d7b0380bb . i dont know anything else that i could check [17:34] <_2eXtreme> guys, in my sound preferences under the "Switches" tab, there are three checkboxes, "Headphone", "IEC958", and "IEC958 Default PCM". The first and third checkboxes are always checked when I boot up, but the second is not. I need to check it every time I boot up in order to activate my speakers. How can I make it so the second check box is always selected at boot up. [17:34] hi guys.. i am trying to use xubuntu .. will i be lacking knowledge of linux if i use X desktop than kde or gnome ? [17:34] Compiz fusion tears, especially with google earth and fast moving video, is it possible to remove tearing? [17:35] rameshwo, you can always just try it out. boot to live disc version [17:35] tanath [17:35] ShockF, hm? [17:35] do you know what i should do with this https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kernel-bugs/2008-June/036970.html [17:35] <_Pol_> hello [17:35] tanath : i'm going to use xubuntu.. not trying... [17:35] so, but why? i have windows without AV and ubuntu without AV, if i visit the dangerous site i think the effect will be that same [17:35] and u? [17:36] <_Pol_> I'm looking for a directory in the filesystem where are stored package I download with apt-get [17:36] rameshwo, perhaps i don't quite understand your question [17:36] ubuntu: I think you should try "root (hd0,2)" or "root (hd0,3)",, root certainly not on the swap partition [17:36] swindler, not quite. windows is more vulnerable. AVs don't generally protect you from web exploits [17:37] swindler, just from what you get as a result of them [17:37] swindler, anyways anything that does download won [17:37] swindler, won't be executed * [17:38] hey.. are there different softwares for kde and gnome ? or any will work on both ?? [17:38] hm i have to trying write the dangerous script and test in win and ubuntu [17:38] rameshwo: Most software will work on both fine. [17:38] pici [17:38] ShockF, you can't connect to the access point, but wireless seems to be working? [17:38] yes tanath [17:39] lol psykopaten i was desperate i couldnt figure this problem with myself..thanks.. at least in terminal it suceeded.Ill go restart pc to see if everything works in real thanks [17:39] swindler, uhh you're trying to write malicious softwaare? [17:39] ShockF, you have access to the access point? [17:39] yup [17:39] rameshwo: there is some different software... the main difference is usage of libraries such as GTK and QT. Most Gnome apps are written using GTK, and most KDE apps use QT. [17:39] ShockF, could you try turning off encryption temporarily to see if you can connect? [17:39] rameshwo: you can run gnome apps in KDE and KDE apps in Gnome, but they might look weird. [17:39] cabrey yes [17:39] propably [17:40] so if i want vlc player.. then i should get different packages for kde and gnome... [17:40] swindler, you're free to try... and cross-platform exploits can be made... but they're not common [17:40] i could try however id have to reset all the computers on the network to try get it working [17:40] rameshwo: not necessarily. You can probably use the same package in either case. [17:40] rameshwo, nope. vlc is one package, will work on both [17:40] rameshwo: There might be a KDE frontend to VLC. [17:40] Can I rely on the Ubuntu 8.04.2 guided hd setup to recognize and configure my raid 5? [17:40] hey, any one could help me? I just inserted Sony memory stick-duo into my card-reader, but I could not copy any file in it, the error message shown "Read-only". I'm stupid about OS, anyone could help? thx alot [17:40] rameshwo, gnome & kde are simply two different desktop environments [17:40] so i want to create that same 'virus' in that systems, i know that i write 2 vir [17:41] swindler, I'll tell you this. you need root access to do anything to the system as a hole. and there are no known exploits and even if there were, it would get patched in a couple of days [17:41] ShockF, nah, you can leave the other comps alone & set it back when you're done [17:41] tanath : they are just desktop outter environments .. nothing to do with the softwares ? [17:41] hi I'm setting up a simple workstation with ubuntu+xen to host a few os's for the first time... should I allocate my whole drive to the host via lvm? [17:41] rameshwo, yes [17:41] ShockF: sorry, wnt afk for coffe, hold on, let me see where this goes [17:41] rameshwo: yep, tanath is right. [17:41] kk gartral np [17:41] tanath dhendrix thanks.. [17:41] swindler, also windows & linux are nothing alike, so good luck trying to write a cross platform script, enough people have trouble writing a cross distro script :/ [17:41] rameshwo: There might be a KDE or Gnome specific frontend to VLC to make it look nice.

[17:42] Some one please help me with my aptitude issue [17:42] so i need root for example toinstall something [17:43] swindler: did you have ubuntu support questions? [17:43] but when i have non install small programm.. [17:43] no [17:43] swindler: did you have a problem with your ubuntu? [17:43] finally got ubuntu installed Myrtti =) [17:43] no, [17:43] swindler: then feel free to take the discussion elsewhere [17:44] swindler: and that wasn't exactly a request [17:44] ShockF: brilliant! :-) [17:44] so i just want to know.. but ok EOT, thns [17:44] thnx^ [17:45] atm gartral is helping me sort out my wireless problem so im just waiting for his reply [17:45] how do you adjust gspca webcam paremeters? [17:46] all package management is done thru GUI . but still why should i run CLI package management ??? [17:47] rameshwo: Incorrect. not all package management is GUI. [17:47] ShockF: you need to add the code block to wpa_supplicant.conf... but I don't know where that xists on Ubuntu [17:47] all package management can be done thru GUI . but still why should i learn CLI package management ??? [17:47] I'm trying to get gtalk voice/video chat to work under Ubuntu one way or another. Tried Empathy but haven't gotten it working so far. So I could use some advice on that, or perhaps another route that works. [17:47] how do you adjust gspca webcam paremeters? [17:47] rameshwo: CLI package management is nice if you need to automate package installation with scripts. [17:47] rameshwo: You don't have to learn it if you don't plan on using the CLI much. [17:47] gartral : ok [17:48] myrtti : do you know where the wpa_supplicant.conf i [17:48] is* [17:48] creature1: Please wait 5-7 minutes before asking the same questiona again [17:48] OK.. [17:48] Is there a guide for how to use the linux-image-generic packages? [17:48] ShockF: just found it, you need to sudo gedit /ect/wpa_supplicant.conf [17:48] ok whats a sudo gedit [17:49] I'm playing around with kernel compilation options in ubuntu, but I'm kind of new to debian. apt-get source linux-image generic seems to download the source tarballs and create the linux-meta-2.6.xx directory, along with the debian/ subdirectory, but does not actually unpack the sources. [17:49] Some one please help me get packages mentioned here http://pastebin.com/d4a9e1229 [17:50] ShockF ; running gedit ( editor ) as su.. [17:50] !gspca [17:50] this is disturbing.. xchat autoconnecting to this channel/network [17:50] Sorry, I don't know anything about gspca [17:50] how do i remove it?

Can I force the screen to lock on suspend? [17:52] rameshwo, it's a good idea to learn CLI package management, because sometimes GUI is insufficient, and X (which provides all GUI functionality) could break, and then you'd be screwed [17:52] jnod, aptitude install [17:52] ShockF: wooops... my ISP decided I no longer needed Internet [17:52] when I do a sudo monut -a I get a error saying connection refused(mount error 111) refer to man mount.cifs) how do i fix this [17:53] np [17:53] chanux, sorry, never used aptitude, have you tryed apt-get ? [17:53] ShockF: make the neccisary modifications? [17:53] How can I install intrepid kernel on jaunty ? [17:53] jnod, aptitude is better than apt-get [17:53] gartral : not atm im on my windows partition lol [17:53] jnod, better dependency resolution, for one [17:54] jnod, apt-cache sarch do not show the package [17:54] i people [17:54] gartral : ok so how do i make a text doc on my windows part so that it is accesible by the ext3 partition [17:54] tanath, yes ? i dont know that. never get problems with apt-* [17:54] Anyone have any ideas on how to fix it? [17:54] am i at the correct place for help with ubuntu 9.04 ? [17:54] if i can't should I use wubi [17:54] ShockF: well.. when you reboot.. I'll help, It's a lightly complicated procces, but it should go over without a hitch [17:55] jnod, aptitude search shows the package with a 'p' at the beginning which means there;s no trace to the packge on system, apparently [17:55] TheDarkstar: yes. [17:55] jnod, i've gotten into situations in the past with apt-get that aptitude got me out of ;) consider yourself lucky [17:55] nice :) [17:55] tanath, eheh [17:55] gartral : i dont have internet on the ubuntu partition =/ [17:55] ShockF: you really should start over in the linux side, do you have a networking cable? [17:55] TheDarkStar: Welcome. How can we help? [17:55] chanux, realy dont know aptitude [17:55] i need some help with installing my monitors [17:55] jnod, ok, dpkg was partly to blame there too.. :P [17:55] chanux, what package are you trying to install ?

[17:56] chuje dziwki i lezbijki [17:56] ShockF: brb, phone, its AT&T [17:56] some stuff needed to compile QT [17:56] chanux: all the p means is that the package is not installed. an i would be an installed and a v would mean its a virtual package. [17:56] i got 3 monitors but i can't seem to get them all to work [17:56] Is there another channel for netbook remix help? [17:56] hi all [17:56] someone can send me the link to join the ubuntu fr please [17:56] Pici, But man aptitude said something diff [17:56] anyone know how to remove the video pane when only listening to audio in totem? [17:57] kakouts type /join #ubuntu-fr [17:57] i've used nvidia-xconfig but i don't get any signal... [17:57] any1 got some ideas? [17:57] thanks [17:57] chanux: Aditionally, why are you trying to compile QT? [17:57] you have to say "main screen turn on" before you can get signal [17:57] lol [17:58] Pici, well I want to learn :) [17:58] Pici, the most common states are p, meaning that no trace of the package exists on the system, c, meaning that the package was [17:58] Pici, ^ from man aptitude [17:58] thanks Rachael Tripp I received ubuntu 9.04 perfectly [17:58] Hi. Where can I read up on the "copy/paste"/"clipboard" functionality in Jaunty? Coming from a windows background, it seems rather random when the copied text is and isn't available to paste. Does it disappear when the "copy app" is closed? [17:59] someone can help me [17:59] i installed ubuntu on another comp [17:59] Rakhen, ctrl+c, ctrl+x, ctrl+v all work, but so does selected/highlighting text & middle clicking [17:59] in xconfig you mean ? [17:59] kakouts, ask away [17:59] Rakhen: You need to keep the source window open when you want to copy [17:59] and it worked perfectly i just didn't get to try out pidgin im [17:59] so my problem is when i shutdown or reboot ubuntu 9.04 i have a freeze [17:59] Psykopaten, not always [17:59] chanux: p = pacakge is not installed, c = package was unisntalled, but not purged, i = package is installed. [17:59] Psykopaten, seems to depend on the app [18:00] chanux: That is what the manpage says. [18:00] tanath: ok,, might do, [18:00] Hi, I just tried running a 4d game call Adanaxis and now I can't boot up, the display is messed up. Does anyone know how to recover from this situation without reinstalling?? [18:00] i havent this problem with the other release of ubuntu [18:00] How can I echo a binary number on the command line? [18:00] Pici, I checked under search section [18:00] chanux: As did I. [18:00] Ruby-Rube, where do i get me a 4d game? [18:00] ;P [18:00] chanux: 'no trace of this package exists on the system' means that it is not installed. === linduxed1 is now known as linduxed [18:00] it's under games in the add and remove sectino of Gnome. [18:01] Psykopaten: Thankyou. It seems that way with Firefox. I'll take care not to expect anything in the "clipboard" until I've pasted it. [18:01] Ruby-Rube, maybe screen res? try cycling resolution. ctrl alt +/- on keypad is kb shortcut [18:01] Ruby-Rube, erm... _4_d? [18:01] im pretty sure 4d is time [18:02] I'll try that but i htink the OS is freezing so it probably won't work. [18:02] ShockF, generally, yeah [18:02] Pici, No offense but here's that part from my man aptitude http://pastebin.com/d4d91b825 [18:02] tanath : hmmm maybe he has discovered time travel :P [18:02] Ruby-Rube, er, i read your comment in parts... missed the 'can't boot' part [18:02] ShockF, it's been done in games before... === TheDarkstar is now known as TheDarkstar||AFK [18:03] Pici, ah it's now I realized [18:03] tanath sounds cool ill have to get me some of these games [18:03] Ruby-Rube, where's it stop booting? [18:03] Pici, So why I can't install it with aptitude install? :( [18:03] Ruby-Rube, how far do you get before you notice an issue [18:03] ? [18:03] it boots to a screen with (2) Ubuntu) logos but the graphics are screed and I can't do anything. [18:04] Ruby-Rube, two? o.O [18:04] yeah, if I reintall I'll lose all my programs, correct? [18:04] chanux: Which package? [18:04] Ruby-Rube, are you familiar with the bootup process? POST, Operating system boot, etc? [18:04] yes [18:04] Can anyone spare some time to help me get my distro working again before i go and try fedora 11 [18:05] Ruby-Rube, whatever you've changed from default, prolly. unless you have an upgrade version [18:05] Ruby-Rube, there are ways to fix these things. if you can find a local linux geek, they might be able to help you [18:05] Ruby-Rube, so you get through POST ok, right? [18:05] The install of that 4d game screw up my display. Now I can't boot into the GUI. I can get to recovery mode but do not know not to fix. [18:06] yes [18:06] Ruby-Rube, you could try booting to a live disc, and uninstalling the game... [18:06] Ruby-Rube, you'd have to mount your hard drive, & chroot to it in terminal [18:07] I didn't think my installed games would showup after booting from a Live disk boot? [18:07] Ruby-Rube, which is why i said to mount your hard drive, and chroot to it in terminal [18:07] ShockF: do you have a networking cable? [18:07] hi [18:07] hi, how does one get a tarball of the ubuntu patched version of apache 2.2 so i can modify the source slightly and recompile it? is there an easy way to do that? [18:07] Anyone know if the issue with the fglrx display driver has been fixed in 9.04? I have a 'ATI Technologies Inc RC410 [Radeon Xpress 200M]' video apapter and last time I tried installed 9.04 gave me problems. 'http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fglrx' is the only place I know to go to learn about bug fixes atm. [18:07] Ruby-Rube, chroot command: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chroot [18:07] can anyone send me the /etc/acpi/sleep.sh script? [18:07] gartral : by that do you mean ethernet cable ?

Will come back with ne wprobs [18:08] :D [18:08] hello [18:09] unitxt, you try installing from cd or dvd? i find dvd versions have more & install better [18:09] Pici: you think you could help me get my linux distro to work (newest version of ubuntu) [18:09] ShockF: then the easiest way to set this u would be to connect it to your router and chat over eathernet [18:09] can some one tell me what to do with my nvidia driver i had a popup saying select a driver, selected the default one and now when i click on the nvidia xserver settings i get a message [18:09] You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server. [18:09] or does anyone know where i can get the /etc/acpi/sleep.sh ?

[18:11] Ruby-Rube, and further commands are treated as being run on that system [18:11] Ruby-Rube, if it's a linux install that is [18:12] TimeToChoose: I'm a bit busy here at the office, but someone else in the channel should be able to help if you ask a detailed question. [18:12] when I do a sudo monut -a I get a error saying connection refused(mount error 111) refer to man mount.cifs) how do i fix this [18:12] Ruby-Rube, np. good luck [18:13] anyone? [18:13] Why doesn't my vm of ubuntu have sound? doesn't it just output sound to the windoz? I checked the settings to give it sound [18:14] mah-kittehz it should have done.. [18:14] tanath: heh, strange. I'll try a Live CD again and see what happens...thanks. [18:14] mah-kittehz : i did the same but got no problem...

[18:15] nvidia-xconfig how do i do it? [18:15] gloom: my brother uses just a common logitech [18:15] gloom: I'll go get it [18:16] Pici, I can remember I installed libxtst-dev before. Now I get piA for the aptitude search for it [18:16] <[Gloom]> mah-kittehz: is it a bluetooth mouse? [18:16] i need help i cant see youtube in ubuntu [18:16] hi everyone [18:16] i have a usb wifu mouse from microsoft [18:16] and work good [18:16] gloom: I think it uses usb [18:16] <[Gloom]> juan-pablo: do you have the flash plugin installed?

I've RTM and I'm familiar enough with Linux but i have an external (NTFS) that I would like to read and write to... should I have any trouble? [18:16] help me [18:17] hi, i ran update manager, and after i rebooted my computer, my wireless internet no longer works :/\ [18:17] juan-pablo: go to youtube, click on a video not working [18:17] homezz, mount -a tries to mount every drive listed in /etc/fstab [18:17] juan-pablo: are you in x86 or AMD64? [18:17] <[Gloom]> Dead: and does it work fine ? No glitches? The usb receiver works without any tweak? [18:17] x86 [18:17] thanks [18:18] lnub, 'sudo nvidia-xconfig' in terminal [18:18] how do i install openssl development on Ubuntu Desktop 8.04 LTS? [18:18] dont sho¡w me the video [18:18] thjanks mah [18:18] juan-pablo, install flash. search in synaptic [18:19] i do it yet [18:19] <[Gloom]> Tigerplug: you will not have any problem with 9.04. [18:19] juan-pablo: it might be easier to look around in synaptic [18:19] tanath before I update ubuntu I have a mount to a mapped drive and now its gone when I sudo mouont -a it give me a error [18:19] does anyone have experience with kernel meta packages? [18:19] juan-pablo, System > Admin > Synaptic package manager [18:19] Steven666: i think you're looking for libssl-dev. [18:19] ok [18:19] i haven't been able to find any good on-line docs about them... all I can find is package info, but nothing useful for actually working with the darn things. [18:19] anyone able to help me out with my question (above)? [18:19] Tigerplug: I think ntfs-3g is what you want to deal with ntfs volumes [18:20] [Gloom]: it can read and write fine? [18:20] What is a simple gui for ubuntu/gnome to be an alarm clock, for someone to wake up in the morning? [18:20] theres a lot of flash which one i put [18:20] homezz, what did you update? [18:20] yes, it should [18:20] dhendrix: what do you want to know about them? [18:20] dhendrix: yep - I'm familiar with ntfs-3g , I have used it in the past but had issues.... I would imagine that the latest release should be fine? [18:20] <[Gloom]> Tigerplug: yes. The default installation comes with ntfs-3g automount configured, so it will work fine, as in other OSs [18:20] tanath> I updated ubuntu [18:21] [Gloom]: excellent..... time to get installing.... back shortly! [18:21] thank guys [18:21] Tigerplug, i don't have trouble with ntfs partitions [18:21] out of topic but.. ntfs-3g what does 3g mean ? it's a typeof ntfs or ??? [18:21] tanath: thats a good sign! [18:21] still dont work [18:21] unstable, try gnome-scheduler [18:21] im a novato [18:21] unstable, have it play music or something [18:21] juan-pablo: maybe just use adobe's site after all [18:22] I'm new to Ubuntu and have 9.04 and when I try to log out from the current user it'll freeze and I have to reboot, then when it checks the disc after the unclean shutdown I get an fsck error 4 and have to run it manually which takes about 90 minutes. This happens every time it has to run, is there any way I can fix this? [18:22] rameshwo: it does regular ntfs. my guess would be it's the 3rd generation of that particular implementation of the ntfs fuse driver. [18:22] i dont knoe how to install rpm [18:22] acces [18:22] atrus: I'd kind of just like more general info. For example, I'd like to patch non-upstream patches into bleeding-edge kernels and compile for various architectures. Kernel metapackages seem like a good option here since they stay up to date and I don't have to worry about micromanagement of versions. [18:22] tanath> I updated ubuntu [18:22] go to "version" and get the .deb [18:22] atrus: or am I going in the wrong direction here? [18:23] homezz, distro upgrade? [18:23] atrus : thanks.... [18:23] I would realy like to know what i am ment to do with You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server. [18:23] homezz, where's the drive located? [18:23] homezz, how many comps? [18:23] dhendrix: my guess would be if you were patching your kernel and rebuilding, you wouldn't want the meta packages, since they would tend to replace your kernel with new ones. [18:23] juan-pablo: there's a drop-down to "select verion", and choose the .deb [18:23] homezz, it's a networked drive, right? can other comps access it? [18:23] guys. what actually does the xconf file contains ? what settings ? is it for displays....??? [18:23] evening all [18:23] lnub, do ' sudo nvidia-xconfig' and then log off and log in again [18:23] tenath just one computer [18:24] Hello. I have some weird dependency problems under (K)ubuntu. The following packages have unmet dependencies: gnome-settings-daemon and libgnome-window-settings1. I tried using apt-get -f install and the problem is that the post-removal script of libtdb1 return error code 2. How do I solve this? [18:24] Hi! I need to install a properitary os build in redmond... I think about two virtualization based solutions: kvm or virtualbox. [18:24] tenath it is a networked computer [18:24] what would you like to suggest for 9.04? [18:24] anodesni, ty i hope it does not crash like it did on fedora we will soon see :) [18:24] lnub, to run it as root, run 'sudo nvidia-xconfig' in terminal [18:24] juan-pablo: then open with .deb-package-installer (default) [18:24] hello , how to update linux kernel ? [18:24] lnub, did you use proprietary driver program that comes with ubuntu? [18:25] hgvs: I'd suggest virtualbox, and 8.04 if you want stability [18:25] homezz, why are you using samba with only one computer? [18:25] yes this is the one recogm,ended in ubuntu, fress nothing moded [18:25] tanath I can see the computer in places/network [18:25] fccf: why not 9.04? [18:25] im tryng archive mounter [18:25] !who [18:25] 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 :) [18:25] thanks [18:25] atrus: That's fine if it replaces my kernel. I don't really care since I have a hermetic build environment. So long as in the end I can get the .deb packages, it's all good :-) [18:26] tanath before i updated it would automatically mouont now it dosent [18:26] hgvs: 9.04 is very new.. 8.04 is a year old and has had time to have the bugs worked out of it ... hence stablility [18:26] ok, how mounting is handled changed [18:26] does rachael tripp come in here? [18:26] homezz, mounting changed recently [18:26] hgvs: It is also supported longer [18:26] um ihave alot of warnings when i did sudo nvidia-xconfig [18:27] homezz, if you look at /etc/fstab you mind find the drive still listed there, but commented out [18:27] ubuntu says support for 1.5 years, does that mean i can't get softwares from repositories after 1.5 year ?? [18:27] homezz, you can fix it there if you know what you're doing [18:27] im out [18:27] see ya [18:27] are there known bugs that can stop the whole show? [18:27] tanath it is still there [18:27] dhendrix: ah. meta packages don't have kernels. they just depend on specific versions of kernels. google for information on make-kpkg and the ubuntu/debian package "kernel-package". that'll take a kernel source tree, configure it, add pactches, compile it, add patches, and eventually build a .deb file with the kernel image, modules, and an initrd. [18:27] !lts [18:27] LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Hardy (Hardy Herron 8.04) [18:27] how do i install this install_flash_player_10_linux.tar.gz [18:27] homezz, most likely [18:28] can someone tell me how to make my desktop show ~/Desktop/ rather than ~/? [18:28] how do i install this "install_flash_player_10_linux.tar.gz [18:28] what does supported for 3 years mean ??????? [18:28] atrus: Thank you! Yes, I've been looking at make-kpkg, debian/rules for kernels, and have been studying this HOWTO: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile [18:28] how do i install this "install_flash_player_10_linux.tar.gz" [18:28] <[Gloom]> juan-pablo: have you tried to install from the ubuntu repository? [18:28] juan-pablo: you were supposed to download the .deb under the drop-down list "select verison to install" [18:28] I plugged in my usb hard disk, and copied some files over to it, but for some reason I don't have permissions to change permissions on the disk. Everything is made as my user, but with the group "root" (which my user *is* a member of); I want to change the permissions of a directory to :, but "chown : gis/" gives the error: "chown: changing ownership of `gis/': Operation not permitted" ... it does the same whe [18:28] n I run the command with a root shell (obtained via: sudo bash -s). [18:28] tanath I can see the computer when i go to places/network [18:28] juan-pablo, enable partner repository [18:28] anodesni, plz take a look and see if this is normal http://fpaste.org/paste/14625 [18:28] hgvs: easy enough to test, but given the popularity of virtualisation nowadays, i imagine we'd already know about them if they existed. [18:28] <[Gloom]> juan-pablo: instead of a standalone package? [18:28] atrus: I'm pretty new to debian, so the differences between the kernel packages was lost on me at first, hehe... Thanks for the help. [18:28] it doest down load [18:29] I'm new to Ubuntu and have 9.04 and when I try to log out from the current user it'll freeze and I have to reboot, then when it checks the disc after the unclean shutdown I get an fsck error 4 and have to run it manually which takes about 90 minutes. This happens every time it freezes and I have to force a reboot. Is there any way I can fix this? [18:29] homezz, irrelevant. the problem is in /etc/fstab [18:29] dhendrix: no problem. [18:29] Hey all, I am having problems with flash... stuff that needs to use flash player in firefox will not work. can someone please help me. As far as i know i have it installed [18:29] i got all repositorys [18:29] juan-pable: http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_10_linux.deb [18:29] what does supported for 3 years mean ??????? after 3 years ? it doesn't work or waht ?? [18:29] i dont know what is a standalone package [18:29] lnub, that's normal [18:29] Thornsberry: how far does it get before the machine freezes? i don't suppose any error messages get output? [18:29] tanath what should my entry in etc/fstab look like [18:30] juan-pablo: just click the link and press OK [18:30] kk so log out and log back in again now then, wish me luck [18:30] rameshwo: you won't be able to access the repositories after that time. [18:30] lnub, good luck [18:30] sipior: It gets to 14% of checking the drive every time then gives me the fsck 4 error and says to run manually. [18:30] Thornsberry: when you try logging out, how far does the machine get? [18:31] sipior : oo... but i can run the current installed softwares ?? [18:31] error a later version is instaled [18:31] Can someone please help me, My flash player plug in is not working ..... [18:31] rameshwo: well, it certainly won't suddenly stop working, no. you simply won't get any updates, security or otherwise. [18:31] thanks guys but some how still dont work [18:31] juan-pablo, install adobe-flashplugin package [18:31] hgvs: depending on what you are using ubuntu for?, I think you will find 8.04 to be a very mature operating system, unless you need something bleeding edge.. I'd use 8.04... 9.04 has bugs and a intel driver regression (this won't cause a problem in vbox,) but more time has been spent fixing bugs in 8.04 so realistically think of 8.04 as XP and 9.04 as vista (I know bad analogy) newer isn't always better.... see !worksforme [18:31] tanath what should my entry in etc/fstab look like [18:31] ./configure: line 13011: cd: c-ares-1.6.0: No such file or directory [18:31] ./configure: line 13012: ./configure: No such file or directory [18:31] anyone?

I set up my servers to now allow local login. I also removed the root login ability, and have been using SSH keys alone. My laptop, which contained my SSH key, is no longer functioning.

[18:32] ok [18:32] anodesni, thank you so much i have been trying to do this on fedora for 8 hours and you guys sorted it out in 5 min [18:32] juan-pablo, did you restart firefox [18:32] lnub, you're welcome [18:32] andodesni: I don't know if that was ment for me, but I do have adobe-flashplugin package installed but still won't work [18:33] tanath when i sudo mount -a in termial it give me a connection refused [18:33] guys.. i've been puzzled at the default wallpaper of ubuntu 8.10.. what is it ? it's meaning ....? [18:33] I have a headless server, and I continually mess it up by compiling multiple source packages. I'm experimenting and learning. I'm tired of hooking a monitor and keyboard up to it for reinstall, and I want a way to restore the system to fresh install state through SSH. I've been looking at partimage, and it think it would work (I don't know for sure), but I cannot partimage the main partition without unmounting it. Is it possi [18:33] ble to unmount / to image it? [18:33] Newfie_Rich, what happens on a flashsite? [18:33] no i dont restart firefox [18:33] ShockF: still with us? [18:33] i can't reaally understand that picture... [18:33] c-ares-1.6.0 anyone?

I'm currently running most of my time with rhel / fedora bases systems. Now I'm start the beginning of migrating my desktop systems to ubuntu because rhel is mostly the times too old [18:34] Can anyone spare some time to help me get my distro working again before i go and try fedora 11 [18:34] ask me to restart tehe system [18:34] can I launch my existing ubuntu in a vm on my winXP (dual-boot)?

I can't do anything when it happens but turn off the computer.

I don't want to be able to write to it... [18:35] buttons840: hmmm, interesting question :-) I would suggest using chroot to change into a sandboxed environment so you don't have to risk messing up your main system. [18:35] tanath np [18:35] Hello all. I set up my servers to now allow local login. I also removed the root login ability, and have been using SSH keys alone. My laptop, which contained my SSH key, is no longer functioning. What are my options? [18:35] Newfie_Rich, okey, than I don't know, sorry. but I'm not that into it either, hope somebody else can help. or you have to ask in the forums [18:35] When I start some fullscreen apps/games, one of which I am certain uses 800x600, my monitor goes to "Signal out of range" and shuts off. "DISPLAY=:0 xrandr" from a console reports that it is still in my default 1280x1024@50Hz. killing the program has no effect. ctrl+alt+plus/minus has no effect before or after killing the program. "DISPLAY=:0 xrandr -s 2" results in X crashing. Help? [18:35] TimeToChoose, did you try ctrl+alt+F1 to enter tty ? To see if the boot process works [18:36] Does anybody know why my wireless would occasionally disconnect? It seems to happen independently of what access point I'm on, and at a rate of about once per 3-4 hours. [18:36] Is wubi, the same thing as intalling ubuntu as an application and the same thing as virtual box? [18:36] Joeseph, mount it read-only [18:36] dhendrix, chroot and sandboxed, i'm not familliar with these? i will man chroot, but what is sandboxed? [18:36] anodesni: yes to no prevail [18:36] what's actually a splash screen in linux ?? i've heard it many time.. [18:36] Joeseph, 'man mount' [18:36] I have problems with compiz.. [18:36] buttons840: Oh, "sandbox" just refers to an environment that is isolated from the main system. [18:36] but couldn't figure out. what it is exactly.. [18:36] speaking as a windows user trying to use linux i have to say that ubuntu is easyer to use and has more ppl willing to help in easy to understand language imho [18:36] TimeToChoose, wubi is not the same as vbox [18:36] I was able to get to a menu where I could do different things, like try to auto fix, go to console console with terminal etc [18:36] Cougarten thanks anyways.. I will check the forums i guess [18:36] Hello there [18:36] tanath: I've mounted it in the fstab.... How do I mount it read only in the fstab. [18:36] I connected another Monitor on my Lap to have 2 monitors.. [18:36] is this ability avialble in a default install? dhendrix [18:37] anodesni: what is it then... i couldn't understand from their site [18:37] im running a cli of ubuntu with xfce4 for DE, I have pelnty of physical memory on the machine im using atm, but firefox is really* laggy, is there somthing that can be done for making it run better from USB, or is there a lighterweight alternative? [18:37] and after that Compiz was disabled and I can't enable again.. [18:37] Joeseph, add ,ro to the options, i think. check man mount [18:37] rhel desktops mostly [18:37] I got Ubuntu 8.10.. [18:37] not servers [18:37] rameshwo: splash or usplash is the screen that comes up while ubuntu is loading ... shows ubuntu logo and an orange progress bar (blue for kdm) [18:37] I have wierd problem. I have files in folder, but some files what i have downloaded doesn't show up. I see them in terminal and i can search them, but still. [18:37] buttons840: You can use "debootstrap" to create a whole debian environment, then chroot into it and experiment without risking your main system. [18:37] TimeToChoose, but it might cause the problem, it installs ubuntu alongside windows on the same partition (ntfs) which is not native linux file system [18:37] buttons840: Yeah, i think chroot is available without installing additional packages. [18:37] Joeseph, yep, ro [18:38] Do you know how to fix this issue? [18:38] dhendrix, debootstrap another thing i'm unfamillair with [18:38] ohhhh [18:38] ok [18:38] so it basically mimics patritioning without actually partitioning [18:38] buttons840: i just learned about it a couple weeks ago myself. There's a really good HOWTO on the web -- I'll try and dig it up real fast. [18:38] k, i'm off [18:38] TimeToChoose, yes, it slows down the system, but only a little bit, almost not noticable [18:38] tanath: So at the end of my fstab line with my share line in it, I need to add -ro? I'll try it...... [18:38] Okey, my eye just catched button that i have never used and that helped. [18:38] anodesni: back to the problem at hand though (sorry slightly add) any ideas on waht I can do, or should i just give up and reinstall [18:39] buttons840: try http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/426 [18:39] hi guys... everytime i restart my ubuntu jaunty i have 2 partitions that are not mounted at startup, one is ntfs and other is ext 3, what is the command line to made it always mount? [18:39] TimeToChoose, if the system really does not boot, it might have to do something with ext4 filesystem. Did you use that? [18:39] dhendrix, thanks, i'll take a look [18:39] I'm getting an error message when I try to upgrade a ubuntu server version 7.10, "it was impossibly to find some of the files, try apt-get update or --fix-missing" [18:39] Stormwinger you need to add the entries to fstab [18:39] fedora its better then ubuntu [18:39] hgvs: wow red hat desktops... welcome to the 21st centrury brother, like I said 8.04 will run like a rolls royce, you might get 9.04 to run like a fararri or like a pinto ... good luck [18:40] juan-pablo: I think its about personal choice [18:40] !best [18:40] hmm i think im inthe right place is gartral here [18:40] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task.

[18:41] yup [18:41] ShockF: alternate installer worked for you in the end? [18:41] this channel is growing each month :) [18:41] :) [18:41] anyone? [18:41] i cant see flash media [18:41] thats either a good or a very bad sign xD [18:41] hi [18:42] nibbler nope in the end i used the live cd with nopic and noalpic settings [18:42] anodesni: i think it iwll just be easier if i reinstall it, how do i make sure i use the full 15 gigs i allocated [18:42] I have problems with compiz.. [18:42] Where is the url for the alternate cd for 9.04 [18:42] !hi | sissi [18:42] I connected another Monitor on my Lap to have 2 monitors.. [18:42] sissi: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [18:42] Do you know how to fix this issue? [18:42] ShockF: ah okay, interesting... [18:42] TheDarkstar||AFK: do you have gui? [18:42] I got Ubuntu 8.10.. [18:42] hey can anybody help me with some apache stuff? [18:42] I connected another Monitor on my Lap to have 2 monitors.. [18:42] TimeToChoose, what do you mean I allocated 15 gig? [18:42] no i don't [18:42] and after that Compiz was disabled and I can't enable again.. [18:42] buttons840: Oh, and one more thing to note. When you have your new environment setup (with debootstrap), you might need to bindmount /dev and /proc before chroot'ing. You can do this with: mount -o bind /proc test_environment/proc and mount -o bind /dev test_environment/dev. [18:42] i am able to load a terinal tho [18:42] nibbler how do i change screen res in ubuntu ? [18:42] TimeToChoose, did you leave blank space on your hdd [18:43] anodesni: I paritioned 15 or 17 gigs or something for linux, i am currenlty on my vista partition === TheDarkstar||AFK is now known as TheDarkstar [18:43] icant watch youtube [18:43] tanath: Just so you know, that only mounts the top level of the directory of my share as read only, if I go a folder deeper, I have write privileges. [18:43] well its not blank... its currently filled with a broken ubuntu partition [18:43] dhendrix, i'm not sure what that means, but i'll remember it if i run into problems ;) [18:43] hm noone ? [18:43] ingcomrbr: please stop typing one sentence ... pressing enter ... and typing another sentence... you won't get compiz working across 2 moniters on a laptop [18:43] TimetoChoose: Whats the problem ? [18:43] TimeToChoose, what partitions did you make on the 15 gig? [18:43] buttons840: So the steps are basically: 1) get the new environment bootstrapped 2) bindmount /proc and /dev, and maybe /sys and 3) chroot 4) enjoy [18:43] help me whit my youtube problem or flash one [18:44] anodesni: I don't remember ext3 or ext4 or somehing === FoxBlitzz is now known as FoxBlitzz_ [18:44] dhendrix, so your suggesting i have a bootstrapped ubuntu running withing ubuntu and that using ubuntu i can reinstall a fresh ubuntu without messing up ubuntu? [18:44] buttons840: It just means that files in /proc and /dev will be usable within your chroot'ed environment. /dev and /proc are special in that their contents are populated on-the-fly by the kernel. So debootstrap will not be able to fill them in for you. [18:44] #spanish [18:44] !spanish [18:44] En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés.

Give it a try and let me know if you run into difficulties :-) [18:44] ShockF: how'ed you manage it? [18:45] TimeToChoose, you say you want to use all 15 gig, so I ask what partitions you've made.

[18:52] hanasaki: initrd is needed in most situation to be able to boot the kernel... (at least in ubuntu you need it becouse of the uuid) [18:52] ashmew2: 64 bit edition [18:52] TimeToChoose: I fear i cant really help you with this considering my zero experience with Ati .. :( [18:53] ryuk_: sounds like you're missing gtk2-engines-ubuntulooks [18:53] hanasaki: also if you use raid lvm nfsroot or other such setups you need the initrd [18:53] erUSUL: no, kernel is always booted, rest of the system depends on initrd drivers sometimes [18:53] erUSUL: uuid? huh?

I just did "apt-get source linux-source-2.6.30" using Karmic sources and tried running make-kpkg. It complains because linux-2.6.30/ubuntu/gfs is missing a Makefile.

Ping the printer or browse to it. Once that is done, lets continue. [21:09] Is there a podcast player other than Rhythmbox that would allow me to fast forward downloaded podcasts? [21:09] looking for somone that can help me with this tutorial on setting up my soundcard [21:09] bradly, take a look at Miro, it is basically a standalone 'Internet TV/Audio' app [21:10] Thanks cabrey.

[23:47] flpwch: It doesnt flicker at 1360x768 [23:47] Kasuko: if you can vnc into the screen, then it isn't a problem with x or anything ubuntu-wise. check your cables, try a different one [23:47] oh [23:47] Artemis3, where do I get this key? [23:47] coral::: if you have an added sound card and onboard audio, make sure your speakers are plugged into the right output jack [23:47] that changes the game. [23:48] Vinceman, it depends on the repository you added, usually in the page instructing to add the repo is also information to add the gpg-key [23:48] flpwch: I dont lik the sound of that [23:48] but you can vnc into the 1920x1080 screen? [23:48] and view it at that resolution? [23:48] flpwch: yes [23:48] that still sounds like a cord or connection problem [23:48] hi every one [23:48] once you have a key the software is authenticated? you're sure it's from that repo? [23:48] well , I appear to, my laptop cant handle 1080p but I can pan [23:48] yeah, i assumed as much [23:48] Vinceman, one key for each repo :) [23:48] i'd say try a different hdmi cord just to be sure. [23:49] can anyone tell me from where i can get lamp server for ubuntu?? [23:49] and make sure its nice and tight connection [23:49] !server | devil_ [23:49] devil_: lamp server, like apache+mysql+php?

[23:50] foolz: pretty much [23:50] every time I try to join that channel I am shunted to "overflow" === soreau_ is now known as soreau [23:51] learn a more obscure language. i'm sure lisp is pretty quiet foolz [23:51] hi everybidy // salut tout le monde [23:51] everybody* [23:51] ubottu:cant we install it my existing ubuntu?? [23:51] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) === darko91|dodo is now known as darko91 === Vantrax is now known as Vantrax|Work [23:51] devil_: its a separate installation [23:51] flpwch,hehe [23:51] so no, its an OS image [23:51] Paddy_EIRE: firefox 3.0.10 with Ubuntu 9.04.. so far, Iv'e tryed repo Gnash, flashplayer free, flashplayer nonfree.. and costom rolls of both free flash alternatives... *all* have the same effect [23:52] foolz: more like ()((learn)lisp)()() [23:52] flpwch ok [23:52] ouch. [23:52] flpwch excuse me, but i have a question [23:52] darko91: hi [23:52] gartral::: 32bit or 64bit? [23:52] flpwch hi :) [23:52] so whats the question? [23:52] foolz: You may need to be identified to join [23:52] gartral: yeah I got that earlier.. does this happen to all flash content.. like youtube videos? [23:52] anyone know of a good guide to create a pppoe Server? [23:52] flpwch i'm french and i'm looking for a french chan [23:52] billybigrigger: 32 [23:52] gartral: or is there something particular that you are troubled with [23:52] Flannel, how do I do that? I'm not exactly an IRC expert [23:52] can you help me ? [23:52] gartral::: oooh [23:52] probably #ubuntu-fr [23:52] foolz: /msg nickserv help register [23:53] thanks flp [23:53] flpwch [23:53] :/ [23:53] yep, thats the one. [23:53] Paddy_EIRE: all flash, universally accross all browsers [23:53] !register | foolz [23:53] foolz: Information about registering your nickname: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname . Registration help available in #freenode [23:53] my pleasure. [23:53] billybigrigger: known fix? [23:53] gartral::: not for 32bit [23:54] okay, any fixes for ubuntu 9.04 for Intel GM965 Express Chipset Family causes x-server to lock up? [23:54] gartral::: im sorry i don't even know your problem, i just saw gnash, flashplayer free & nonfree and assumed you had flash problems... [23:54] billybigrigger: why would cononical release code that they KNEW doesn't work!?!? [23:54] gartral::: i know on my 64bit install i use this plugin...http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/libflashplayer-10.0.22.87.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz [23:54] gartral::: maybe scour that site for a new or newer 32bit plugin [23:54] flpwch: About HDMI cable, could it be that that cable isn't v1.3 [23:54] billybigrigger: already did.. no help [23:54] Kasuko: it could be. im not sure. [23:55] could just be a loose connection. [23:55] gartral::: canonical doesn't have ANY control over proprietary adobe plugins and code and such [23:55] how to disable the fade effect when changing wallpapers? === jacob_ is now known as Guest55742 [23:55] billybigrigger: no... but other Linux distros lack THIS problem.. it seem Ubuntu 9.04 specific [23:55] gartral: flash is adobe and adobe only. it is nonfree and broken. it isn't canonicals or a developers job to make everything work with adobe. [23:55] gartral::: im not sure what your talking about...i don't use any other distributions [23:55] gartral, no, more like system by system problem, flash works perfectly for me [23:56] i can't login to a WM or DE, i am just sent back to the login manager [23:56] gartral, have you reported a bug for gnash/swfdec? [23:56] here too gartral works perfectly here [23:56] and my flash works great, if a little slow, in any case [23:56] exactly, my 64bit flash works great...my buddies laptop using the same plugin doesn't work for him === darko91 is now known as darko91|dodo [23:56] if its sound, its probably some weird problem involving flash talking to alsa. [23:57] ok... let me be more broad... why would anyone release code, that they knew had problems? oh wait.. look at microsoft... [23:57] one could test different audio outputs (discrete v onboard) and different sound entirely (alsa v oss) [23:57] gartral::: good question [23:57] gartral, playing the odds that it would work for most cases === darko91|dodo is now known as darko91 [23:58] gartral: because working for most is better than no one having it. [23:58] gartral, this is different. gnash/swfdec are still very much not ready and under heavy development === darko91 is now known as darko91\Aw [23:58] also after guessing it had something to do with permissions, i changed the permissions of my /home/togetic folder recursively and i'm told when it is attempting to login that it will use the root folder, but that doesn't even happen [23:58] cabrey: you miss the scope.. *ALL* flash plugins, free and non free, exhibit the exact same problem... compiled locally, and by "trusted" sources === darko91\Aw is now known as darko91 [23:59] gartral, and that means it is not the flash plugins that are the problem [23:59] gartral, something else is [23:59] Ubuntu freezed (I had to manually reboot) twice while aptituding some package (while downloading or unpacking) any ideas? [23:59] syslq78: same package? [23:59] did it require any special action like accepting a certain license (like java) [23:59] flpwch, no, one was mplayer and second was netbeans
