[00:00] Not for me it doesn't. [00:00] Niphlod::: no, its ext3 [00:00] JoshuaP0x1 : http://projects.tuxx-home.at/?id=cisco_vpn_client [00:00] elad`: yes it does. That's why you can't kill it with ctrl-c [00:00] elad`: type ps -e | grep yes [00:00] elad`: running it in the background means you cant kill it, because its in the background. It's printing its output too fast for you to be able to see the command line [00:00] using pidgin i cannot access quakenet.org :( just says that it cant connect. anyone know how to connect? [00:00] elad`: try fg to put it in the foreground and then ctrl-c [00:00] Niphlod: Thanks. [00:00] Ah, it's in the bg, but still printing to stdout. I see. Thanks. [00:00] billybigrigger : as far as I know the all "mount" thing is processed by /etc/fstab file.... [00:01] @stepanstas: how corrupt? load a live cd and fsck that partition [00:01] Niphlod::: but the array needs to be created first [00:01] Niphlod::: to create the device, then mount the device [00:01] Niphlod, please look at this, i dont see it... http://imagebin.ca/view/2kMe1bLh.html [00:01] mkanyicy: a few days ago i was able to see the drive with the live cd. now i cannot. when i was able to see it, i was not able to open anything. [00:01] billybigrigger : mdadm will do that automatically (create the array and "developing" that on /dev/md0) [00:01] Would anyone know how to share an ethernet connection in 8.10? I have tried the "create a new wireless network option" but it just sits on the loading "spinner." [00:02] Niphlod::: well its not [00:02] Niphlod::: did you see my pastebin? [00:02] billybigrigger : according to that /dev/md0 exists but is recognized as an ext2 partition ... so I guess it's not mdadm fault ... [00:03] mkanyicy: would i be able to do fsck with a kubuntu live cd? Also, i dont know what partition it is, its not showing up in the file browser [00:05] thanks for the tip guys, got it working. Much appreciated. [00:07] Niphlod::: where do i change that? [00:07] Niphlod::: thats what im wondering where do i configure it to use ext3 [00:07] billybigrigger : look at /etc/fstab [00:08] # RAID array /dev/md0 (/dev/sda1 + /dev/sdb1) [00:08] /dev/md0 /media/storage ext3 defaults 0 2 [00:08] no [00:08] its not fstab i told you that === noteventime_ is now known as noteventime [00:08] the array has to be created FIRST [00:08] billybigrigger: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

Remember I said _player_ ~ Thank you ~ [00:09] stepanstas: load your live cd. open terminal. then type "sudo cfdisk" [00:09] *that can change pitch of a song on the fly [00:10] stepanstas: all your partitions will show up, identify all the ones that work (you can even mount them all one by one) [00:10] Cokey: Windows Media Player [00:10] billybigrigger : can you paste the contents of mdadm.conf ? [00:10] Anyone know where virtualbox keeps it's host files? [00:10] stepanstas: once you've seen the culprit (ie the bad filesystem), it's time to work on it [00:10] * it's guest files [00:11] hello, q: I've had 9.04 installed for awhile and just the other day apon booting my keyboard / touchpad no longer work, I've also tried attaching USB one's and same problem, however if I boot a safe kernel and drop to the root shell the keyboard works fine, any idea what is causing this? it has made my ubuntu unusable!

[00:13] mink: probably libgtk2.0-dev [00:13] mkanyicy: http://paste.ubuntu.com:80/197352/ I'm never good at figuring out which one is the issue. I think the NTFS one is just a drive i have for back up files. No install on it. I should have one ubuntu install and one kubuntu install. I dont think i see both. [00:13] hi im looking to work out how to partition my disks - cant use auto setup as I want to partition a second disk at the same time [00:14] SeaPhor: apparently suggestions on launchpad aren't very helpful .... try under /desktop/gnome/remote_access [00:14] Cokey, According to http://linux.softpedia.com/get/Multimedia/Audio/AlsaPlayer-358.shtml has it. No idea if it is in the repo's. Also depending on what you want it for you may want to look at mixxx (which is a DJ app with pitch control) [00:14] When i take a screenshot of a window, the frame isnt in the screenshot, howcome? [00:15] Niphlod, will do,,, thank you for your time [00:15] sharperguy, *clicks link* That sounds promising! Been looking for years! (Not kidding) [00:15] for some reason ubuntu 9.1 alpha2 (w grub2) doesnt include my win7 partition...any clues? [00:16] SeaPhor : just helping where someone before helped me . try to reestablish the "balance" (very zen) [00:16] anyone here familiar with avidemux? [00:16] where is /desktop/gnome/remote_access? Niphlod [00:16] Is there a way to configure the compose key so that composing _a and _o will result in a with macron and o with macron?

[00:18] Randabis : on win32, but fortunately it's multi-platform . just ask! [00:18] Niphlod, Got It! thats it,,, U-D-Man bro... [00:18] okay, well I cut part of a video out and saved it as a new file, on the new generated file, the audio playback is like 10 times faster than the video playback [00:19] hello, i am trying to get the usb startup disk creator to work. it creates the usb drive fine. but when i try and boot from it. i get the error kernel not found. anyone one have the same problem [00:19] stepanstas: I've seen this. you have only one hard drive?

[00:21] Niphlod: still plays the audio fast in totem [00:21] what is the command line equivalent of suspend ? [00:21] Randabis, there are issues with some codecs and containers, especially x264 [00:22] Randabis : next question .... which format did you choose to save file ? what was the original one ?

[00:33] Some encoders produce malformed incompleet containers. This may not affect sequential play but may impair editing cutting later because of omitted or malformed synchronizations [00:33] leagris: yeah I'm outputing to avi [00:35] it's using libxvid and liblame for the codecs [00:36] hi i have 2 pc with has ubuntu 9.04 on them and i want to network them togeather how do i do this [00:36] update-notifier does not notify of update on a fresh install.

Try #ubuntu-offtopic [00:49] Kaner1: I recommend trying to configure your xorg.conf. I've done it this way before, and if you doubt your driver, use vesa [00:49] lws_, oh it's a proprietary driver?

[00:51] Kaner1: Yes [00:51] lenswipe, make it a share [00:51] cabrey: that makes, it readable but not neccecarily writable [00:51] lenswipe, file permissions must be correctly set and the same with share permissions [00:51] cabrey: scratch the comma [00:52] cabrey: because madwifi depends on non-free stuff to work, if I rememver correctly [00:52] cabrey: k but what are the file permissions i need === Aquilla is now known as Aquilla_AFK [00:52] rww, it is listed in wikipedia as not depending on binary blobs === Swish[\] is now known as Swish [00:53] !permissions | lenswipe [00:53] lenswipe: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [00:53] cabrey: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_open_source_wireless_drivers lists it as "Dual GPL/BSD with proprietary HAL".

[00:55] cabrey: hmm actually i have an idea [00:55] lenswipe, i was thinking more along the lines of create a wwwsmb group, put the members who can write to /var/www and make wwwsmb the owner of /var/www [00:55] lenswipe, of course sambe & apache would need to be apart of that group as well [00:56] cabrey: im wondering about forcing root access to /var/www [00:56] cabrey: Madwifi itself is open source. However, it requires a HAL from Atheros that isn't. [00:56] cabrey: asin forcing root acees in smb.conf [00:56] lenswipe, them you set the appropriate permissions so that group can write [00:56] then* [00:56] rww, ah makes sense now, thanks === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [00:57] help!

[01:49] Unpredictable, you can try, but you must uninstall the ubuntu-provided one first [01:49] I don't even know where the partition is in this ubuntu [01:49] !nvidia | Unpredictable [01:49] Unpredictable: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [01:49] wizzo50: I'm new to ubuntu too [01:51] I install Ubuntu from USB, but it is too slow, Why? [01:51] hi i cant format a hard drive that uesd to have linux so that i can install XP on it [01:51] My sound often works fine for awhile, then busts and starts playing random samples in a loop. What is likely to be the culprit? Is it a kernel problem? [01:51] cabrey, i kno im a pain in the ass but i dont kno what u mean, configure the xorg.conf? how? === Vobine_ is now known as Vobine [01:52] eipark: tried GParted [01:52] eipark: If you can't format it, it's broken and needs to be replaced. [01:52] Kaner1, if you take a look at man openchrome & man xorg.conf, it shows you how === ubuntu is now known as ubun00b [01:56] i already used gparted === gartral is now known as Guest19645 [01:59] How do I install a new spellchecker for openoffice? [01:59] BG1, internal hard drives normally have faster data transfer rates than USB drives [02:00] I'll ask again... I am trying to triple boot, but windows is the third partition and linux is fourth, and windows doesn't like this and will toss me an error when I try to boot. Can I make windows the 4th and linux the third by any means? [02:01] wizzo50: sudo mount --bind "/windows/My Documents" "/home/user/Windows Documents" something like that? [02:01] the_dark_warrio: OpenOffice has this whole hyperlinked system for installing language support, including spellers. I forget how it all works, but you can ask in ##openoffice.org I think. [02:01] is there any way to make networkmanager's wireless settings global across all user accounts? [02:01] hi, does anyone know how i add AAC encoding support to SoundConverter? [02:01] ExAstris: it's unlikely to help your particular situation. How sure are you that it's being in the 3rd position that causes Windows to fail? [02:02] ryanprior: because it was working fine as 4th partition previously. [02:02] ryanprior: and now as third it will not. I've tried all other options [02:02] ryanprior: rebuilding boot.ini or manually editing it does nothing. fixboot does nothing. fixmbr does nothing. [02:03] ryanprior: I've seen it repeated in several different forum posts, and there's no other reason why this would be happening [02:03] BePhantom: in the settings menu for the wireless connection you want to share, at the very bottom, there's a checkbox labeled "Available to all users". [02:03] ryanprior: can it be done? [02:03] !enter | ExAstris [02:03] ExAstris: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [02:03] ryanprior, what?? [02:03] ryanprior, I know, sorry, got ahead of myself. [02:03] I just did a fresh install of Janty and installed samba created some share but when a widows computer trys to connect I get an access error, what do I need to do to make it easy for any windows computer to connect to the ubuntu shares? [02:03] does anyone know how i add AAC encoding support to SoundConverter? [02:03] BePhantom: my apologies, I meant to reply to sg. =D [02:04] sg: Please see my above message addressed to BePhantom. [02:04] hi everyone I need to make my compiz work === mdg is now known as linux [02:05] crawl3r: Alright. In order for us to help you, though, we'll need more information on what's not working. [02:06] Ryanprior, can it be done? === dcrews is now known as Crewsr3 [02:06] ExAstris: as far as I know, there's no way to easily swap partitions. You could wipe both partitions, install Ubuntu on the third and Windows on the fourth; or you could grab a new hard drive (or rent one), copy the Windows partition off to it, copy the Ubuntu partition over the Windows partition, then restore the Windows partition, etc. [02:07] is there a way to check if grub is already installed on a harddrive? [02:07] ttl9, yea, does it come up at boot? === miguel is now known as Guest32675 [02:07] ttl9::: see anything in /boot/grub? [02:07] ryanprior: have intel graphics card, using AIGLX rendering method, compiz says "text_from_pixmap" is not present [02:07] hello [02:07] cabrey [02:07] Aloha, all. [02:07] !intel | crawl3r [02:07] ryanprior: you can rent hard drives? xD. And yes, I'm thinking about doing that. I was going to use ntfsclone, the problem is that I dunno how to fix the issues with the boot sector that you get by using that. [02:07] crawl3r: 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. [02:08] crawl3r: Yeah, text-from-pixmap is a tricky one. I'm having the same problem with a different card & driver! [02:08] Guest32675, uh hi? [02:08] cabrey, is there a way for me to pm you [02:08] ubottu: I am using intrepid [02:08] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [02:08] cabrey,1st before mounting, I have to get Unbuntu to read my C: drive. Right now It is only reading my D: drive. I have 2 separate drives on this computer, C: is NTFS and D: is formatted in FAT32 [02:08] Guest32675, no leave it out here [02:08] i meant if it was installed in the bootsector [02:08] eg. a way to check if someone had already done root(hd0,0), setup(hd0) [02:08] ttl9::: does it boot? [02:08] ExAstris: dunno where you live, but round these parts we have a shop called A-Z RentAll that will rent you just about anything. [02:08] Its not reading the C: drive [02:09] wizzo50, ubuntu does not refer to drives as 'C:' or 'D:' [02:09] ryanprior: which card are you using? [02:09] I see that [02:09] wizzo50, two separate drives or partitions? [02:09] crawl3r: ATI Radeon 200M [02:09] 2 separate drive [02:09] Why can my windows computer not connect to my ubuntu samba share? [02:09] well i want to make a website but very secure [02:09] and only reads one that it putted Ubuntu on [02:09] what do i run in terminal to install kde enviornment? [02:10] !kde [02:10] KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu. To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop », or see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE . See http://kubuntu.org for more information. For more information on KDE 4, see !kde4 [02:10] Hello , is it possible to prevent extract symlinks from an archive and extract other files ? [02:10] ryanprior: Had another machine with Radeon X700 worked out some time ago, can't remember well now [02:10] ryanprior: There's an obvious joke I could make, but I won't. Do you know how I would go about cloning the NTFS partition and moving it without trouble? [02:10] wizzo50, and which drive is ubuntu on?

[02:11] ryanprior: I have no idea how to do that x.x [02:11] Is it possible to do a HD mirroring of Ubuntu, reformatting and put the files back again? [02:11] D: drive or 2nd drive on here [02:11] hello people! [02:11] wizzo50: Ubuntu sees drives as /dev/hda, etc [02:12] ExAstris: Are you okay with the command line interface, man pages, and all that? [02:12] !hi | firmW_ [02:12] firmW_: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [02:12] hd2 [02:12] wizzo50: or /dev/sda.... [02:12] ryanprior: certainly. [02:12] ExAstris: "man dd" will inspire you, then. [02:12] wizzo50: You have to find it through ubuntu [02:12] oh, home and s for second [02:12] Could someone help me to find out why my machine doesn't boot from Ubuntu desktop cd please? [02:12] wizzo50, run ls /dev/sd* and paste here [02:12] so it is on hds [02:12] ok [02:13] wizzo50, no then you would have quite a few harddrives in your system [02:13] ryanprior: inspire me or scare me? the latter I think xD [02:13] firmW_, I had the same problem 2 hours ago. I just cleaned the CD rom lens with a q-tip carefullly in a circular motion and it got fixed [02:13] ryanprior, I know just enough about DD to know that it is really, really dangerous when used improperly. [02:13] dev/sda /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdb5 === cs278|laptop_ is now known as cs278 [02:14] wbc, well I just wrote the cd from a fresh download. New cd, old machine.. [02:14] ExAstris: there's nothing so mystical about it, you can use it to copy your partition precisely bit-for-bit. That way you don't need to do any funky NTFS-specific nonsense. [02:14] ok [02:14] ryanprior: interesting. if what I'm attempting to do now doesn't work I may try it. [02:15] dev/sda /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdb5 [02:15] Is that what you wanted: dev/sda /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdb5 [02:15] firmW_, exactly, I was also doing this on an old machine. Just try to run a q-tip carefully over the lens in a circular motion if you haven't tried it. It solved my problems [02:16] cabrey, dev/sda /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdb5 [02:16] ok. let's see what happens..

[03:55] I've been on linux for 3 years or so [03:55] cattellar: i only usually use debian-like [03:55] None that I'm aware of, myself. [03:55] myself: what do you mean by "queue" [03:55] Better to just run uTorrent in WINE. [03:55] +? [03:55] cattellar: BUT ive used linux scince around 2006 or something [03:55] Mike_lifeguard: i'm going to download openssh 5.2 from www.icewalkers.com it says bsd type or waht.. so will it run on xubuntu ?? [03:55] Is there a way I can see a schedule for upcoming meetings planned on the #ubuntu-meeting channel? [03:55] have one file download, then another, then another, not all at once [03:55] cattellar: but i abandoned it shortly afterwards [03:55] actually when i noticed there was a built in chat client !!!! KINDA BROUGHT MY SPIRITS UP......... [03:56] cattellar: xandros linux 3, still got the disk [03:56] racecar56, yeah that's my same case ... I used mandriva and slackware for a bit then went back to windows [03:56] cattellar: installed it on this very comp im using to chat with you NOW [03:56] * StephenZ dances a little. [03:56] Ibis LiveCD is burned. [03:56] was a lil disapointed with ubuntu on ps3, sony locks over half the system from use [03:56] racecar56, then I got in love with linux when I installed ubuntu 7.04 [03:56] rameshwor: you mean you're using apt-get/Synaptic, or downloading + installing manually? [03:56] cattellar: but i was a NOOOOOOOOOB with it [03:56] myself: deluge and vuze (azureus) will do that for you... [03:56] cattellar: i fell in love with ubuntu 8.04.0 [03:56] Mike_lifeguard: manually... [03:56] rameshwor: oh, you said you're downloading it... you can get that package from apt-get easier [03:56] cattellar: around june-july 2008 [03:57] im using Jaunty whatever the hell version that is [03:57] myself set them to 1 download at a time and then set up the queue [03:57] cattellar: not on this comp though, this comp was dead [03:57] cattellar: but i fixed it, i'm good at fixing comps [03:57] I still haven't the first idea how to download and install things manually. [03:57] cattellar: =D [03:57] you mean using those other clients? [03:57] Mike_lifeguard: i don't get any option for ubuntu or debian.. so little confused if it will work or not ? [03:57] racecar56, yeah I like fixing [03:57] myself: yeah [03:57] I mean, unzipping a tarball to the proper directory I can do with instructions, but buh. [03:57] .deb ftw. [03:57] cattellar: i have a *bunch* of old hard drives too [03:57] How is Ubuntu with wireless USB ? [03:57] Can someone help me out with setting up a static IP ? [03:57] Mike_lifeguard: http://www.icewalkers.com/Linux/Software/510930/OpenSSH.html [03:57] why the hell is there not a way to do it in transmission, how stupid is that [03:57] I Still dont know how to D/L and install manually either [03:57] StephenZ: ping [03:57] Friendly, NetLarIrvine. [03:57] racecar56: pong [03:58] hello i enabled file sharing on my ubuntu desktop . how do i acess it from my ubuntu laptop both jaunty. (it seems it installed samba is nfs better?) [03:58] samba is the shit [03:58] myself: transmission is pretty minimal, I'd have thought you could do it, I just don't know how [03:58] rameshwor: "sudo apt-get install ssh" should do it [03:58] digisapien: so samba is the way to go? [03:58] Transmissions is more than minimal. It's underpowered. [03:58] much ezier [03:58] maybe there is a plugin or something [03:58] isnt samba used to share stuff for winblows? [03:58] I bought a newer one, hope it works [03:58] can anyone help me get my max res from 800x600 to 1024x768 [03:58] yep [03:59] Mike_lifeguard: but i may have to pause the downloads . so . === nitro_phone is now known as nitrohax [03:59] or used to view winblows shares? [03:59] thats why i like it [03:59] How do I find out which gateway am I on? [03:59] Kaner1: That sounds like your box is having a hard time recognizing your display. [03:59] rameshwor: it should take like 60s or something -- it's small [03:59] disappearedng: i guess ifconfig [03:59] .......ive got three pc's on my network 2 linux 2 windows ////dual boot for those counting [03:59] hello i enabled file sharing on my ubuntu desktop . how do i acess it from my ubuntu laptop both jaunty. [03:59] Mike_lifeguard: what size ? i get average of 8-10 kb/s speed [03:59] rameshwor: and if not, you can wget the .deb file which you can install with dpkg once it's complete [03:59] jasonmchristos: man samba [03:59] * Mike_lifeguard searches for the package size... [04:00] stephenz, yeah i know but i have no idea what to do, i know i have the via chipset but my xorg.conf doesnt recognize it [04:00] wait, it's there a way to get ubottu to do that? [04:00] !package ssh [04:00] rameshwor: talking about network speed? OMG that is even worse than mine... [04:00] Sorry, I don't know anything about package ssh [04:00] I just figured out the "man" deal today myself helps a lot [04:00] or something :\ [04:00] digisapien: learn to love it :D [04:00] whts the man deal? [04:00] rameshwor: mine is like 180 kbs [04:00] !info ssh | Mike_lifeguard [04:00] Well, then it's further in than I can help with... If the man pages don't help, and there's nothing you can find on Google, someone else here will need to point you to it. [04:00] Mike_lifeguard: ssh (source: openssh): secure shell client and server (metapackage). In component main, is optional. Version 1:5.1p1-5ubuntu1 (jaunty), package size 1 kB, installed size 44 kB [04:00] racecar56: yes.. it's worse so i can't use ubuntu to fullest.. [04:00] digisapien whats that :) [04:00] in dos it was called "help'" [04:00] myself: man is the command to bring up the manual page on the command listed afterwards. [04:01] Help is an entirely different command. [04:01] is there a way to get the 9.10 kernel on 9.04? and would it be unstable? [04:01] rameshwor: there you go -- 1kb [04:01] anyone remember "dos" [04:01] digisapien: man pages make dos help look.. pathic. :) [04:01] lol [04:01] rameshwor: i really should be downloading at a *GIGABYTE* a second [04:01] i see [04:01] myself: it's short for 'manual' [04:01] i understand [04:01] that [04:01] hehe [04:01] myself: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:01] digisapien: didn't use comps till 2003 [04:01] Hello, I get garbage on the screen with a LiveCD [04:01] rameshwor: ...plus dependencies (of which there are 3... but they may well be installed already) [04:01] Mike_lifeguard: where can i find .deb package ?for ssh ? [04:01] cuddlefish: you have a horriblwe mmonitor like me? [04:01] eh,...........i once thought i was a fuggin pc guru.........till I hit the linux scene [04:01] cuddlefish: wipe it off with a damp lint-free cloth? [04:01] is there a good visual how to? for ubuntu? [04:01] rameshwor: give apt-get a try, and if that's not ok ask me again [04:02] Nobody? [04:02] Sudo apt-get install [04:02] Mike_lifeguard: ok.. i'll try.. [04:02] good gracious 41 minutes remaining for that stupid resize [04:02] PROjext-Emerald: None I'm aware of. [04:02] PROject-Emerald: yes, you can do it - download the files with wget and install with dpkg [04:02] lol no. I mean blueish digital garbage displayed on the screen. The X server exits with code 127 [04:02] Lifeguard to the rescue. [04:02] I don't know which files to download... and is it stable? [04:02] har har [04:02] ..........although anyone know how to replace sudo for permenent permissions [04:02] Cuddlefish: Redownload the iso, reburn your LiveCD, and try again. [04:02] dpkg -i packagename.deb [04:02] PROject-Emerald: no reason you shouldn't try it, but why? And talk about unsupported... [04:03] cuddlefish: or better forget burning [04:03] im tired of Sudo''ng everyfucking thing already [04:03] !kernel [04:03] The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages [04:03] cuddlefish: unetbootin FTW [04:03] PROject-Emerald: yes, 2.6.30 was just released - quite stable... the karmic kernel should be even more stable due to better testing etc [04:03] Digisapien: At your own risk... sudo bash [04:03] hello [04:03] digisapien: NO [04:03] digisapien: dont do sudo bash [04:03] digisapien: sudo -s [04:03] digisapien: that will do it [04:03] racecar56: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:03] Uh, because when I was on Karmic before it crashed and killed my install... everything, and I mean everything, I had a problem with... workedd [04:03] Sweeet?......lol [04:03] floodbot'd [04:03] Why not? What's wrong with it? If it's making life harder on me, I'd love to know how. [04:03] <3 [04:03] StephenZ: I integrity-checked the cd [04:03] And what's up with all the damned spamming? [04:03] 0 errors [04:03] that coulda been bad huh? [04:03] replacing the bash commands [04:03] Odd. [04:03] What spam, where? [04:04] in a can? === scoates2_ is now known as scoates_ [04:04] What spam, where? :-D [04:04] PROject-Emerald: k, but do you know that was a kernel error? (and fwiw, the breakage may well have been ubuntu devs' fault) [04:04] How is sudo bash bad? [04:04] Thinking about going through and using an Alias library [04:04] use me old dos knowledge terms [04:04] stop saying "spam" goddammit :D [04:04] welll, isn't sudo -s better? [04:04] I've never tried it. [04:04] No-one's enter key is working tonight I see... [04:04] sudo -s does the same but i think its more secure [04:04] Lifeguard: No... all that happened was the Dell screen loaded, and I got a black screen with a blinking _ [04:04] Based on...? [04:04] and nothing loaded or no text input worked or anything === solid_liqAFK is now known as solid_liq === solid_liq is now known as solid_liqAFK [04:04] ...........is that spamming?.......in an ubuntu related chat site? [04:04] So anyone know my problem? [04:04] idk [04:05] PROject-Emerald: that could be many things... for example a broken GRUB or something [04:05] gotta go [04:05] http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2008/05/09/a-root-shell-on-ubuntu-the-right-way/ [04:05] sudo bash gives me a root@domain prompt. [04:05] cuddlefish: what's you're problem? [04:05] Mike_lifeguard: to compile .tar.gz..... or tar.bz2. or rpm i should convert the packages ?? [04:05] =\ That was the thing... like, all I did was download a few programs like Limewire and stuff [04:05] anybody kno how to get ubuntu to recognize my max res as 1024x768 and not 800x600? [04:05] sudo -s does several things diffrently then 'sudo bash' - do not use 'sudo bash' - it can cause.. odd issues [04:05] StephenZ: sudo bash doesn't update your environment though; a misplaced ~ could be disaster. [04:06] Can you get limewire to run on ubuntu? [04:06] rameshwor: what? just use apt-get or download a .deb package! [04:06] !frostfire [04:06] Sorry, I don't know anything about frostfire [04:06] ...There's a linux native client for Limewire [04:06] rameshwor: building from source is a silly waste of time [04:06] !limewire [04:06] limewire is a popular P2P client running on the Gnutella network. To get it running, install !Java first, then download Limewire from http://www.limewire.com/LimeWireSoftOther and finally run runLime.sh. Consider !FrostWire as an alternative. [04:06] Ghoti: Ahhh, thank you. So what would work better, sudo -s? [04:06] i'm having trouble connecting to my wireless card, here is the output of daemon.log when i try to connect. http://pastebin.com/m2f6f486 [04:06] Or, rather... [04:06] I use sudo tcsh all the time (I know, heresy) and it works fine, no special gotchas.... [04:06] HOW would it work better? [04:06] Lifeguard: How do I update to 9.10? And is it a bad idea this early on? [04:06] StephenZ: if you insist on not using sudo, then sudo -s to get a superuser shell is the "best" plan. [04:06] Okay, I burned an Ubuntu (BitTorrent downloaded) LiveCD at 1x speed, the MD5's of the image and burned CD match. [04:06] rameshwor: if you need help finding a .deb file, just ask and I can search for you [04:06] Frostwire,............... i havent been happy with doesnt turn as many good hits as its father [04:07] PROject-Emerald: karmic itself isn't released yet === solid_liqAFK is now known as SolidLiq [04:07] well, the 9.10 alpha [04:07] Mike_lifeguard: i got into ssh ftp link.. ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/OpenSSH/ but couldn't find .deb packages [04:07] Ghoti: I don't typically insist on it; gives me another layer of "I have less chance to screw things up with a typo." [04:07] PROject-Emerald: but you can get the kernel from... somewhere (not sure offhand) [04:07] Is it a bad idea to upgrade? [04:07] well ive got to say,...........im glad to find a chat room with linux geeks,.......... [04:07] digisapien: they use the same identical network and codebase from what i recall.. hits should be identical [04:07] joining [04:07] When I boot, I select English and Try Ubuntu etc etc. [04:07] I wouldn't recommend using anything pre-release unless you /need/ to [04:08] =\ [04:08] Anyhow, I'm off to see if installing Ibis will fix my boot problems. [04:08] Should be,......thats what my all too geeky freind told me?.......but he does a search I do a search and i get more strings [04:08] StephenZ: That's one reason that using sudo is safer- if you forget to sudo, you get another chance to think "do I realy want to [insert potentially catastrophic command here]"? [04:08] Ubuntu logo with bouncing bar, [04:08] cuddlefish: please say the nick of the person you're talking to -- otherwise it's very hard to "hear" what you're saying in a room this noisy [04:08] !tab [04:08] You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [04:08] * StephenZ scowls, remembering chown disasters. [04:08] anyone know a solution to my problem [04:08] ................this is my first time in the chat client?........anyone trick this plain white t shirt of a client out yet? [04:08] All I know is that when I was on the 9.10 alpha release, my webcam worked and my mic worked [04:08] And on 9.04 they don't [04:08] frenzy42: you have to say what your problem is [04:09] frenzy42: I just got here. What is your problem? [04:09] i'm having trouble connecting to my wireless card, here is the output of daemon.log when i try to connect. http://pastebin.com/m2f6f486 === StephenZ is now known as Stephen`Afk [04:09] <- [04:09] StephenZ: exactly my point. I also accidentally once typoed a / where a . should have been with an rm -r command, and REALLY bad things could have happened if I was root. [04:09] what the hell cannot change the boot sequence, I cannot get into the bios, why wont that work? [04:09] i mean my wireless router [04:09] PROject-Emerald: so probably upgrading your kernel will help -- .30 is stable for me and fixes a lot of bugs... should be safe to use [04:09] Ghoti: Thank you for the tips. I'll be back down here when I find out if I'm not facing hardware problems. [04:09] NetLarIrvine: Are you sure you're hitting the right buttons? Are you using a USB keyboard?? [04:09] Can you walk through installing it? [04:09] Mi It takes a long time lo load [04:10] usb keyboard yes [04:10] PROject-Emerald: no reason not to, IMO (it's safe) .. just a matter of finding the files... I forget where to get them, but !kernel will probably point you in the right direction [04:10] I'm downloading "Patch-2.6.30" from kernel.com [04:10] Stephen`Afk: good luck! :) [04:10] !kernel [04:10] The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages [04:10] Ghoti: Thanks! :) I'll let you know how it goes.

End request: I/O error, dev sr0 sector 1303260 [04:10] Mike_lifeguard: ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/OpenSSH/ you checked ??

[04:11] rameshwor: I'll look, hold on... [04:11] Is, rather. [04:11] NetLarIrvine: Maybe you could look it up online. Do you know what the name of your bios is? Also just try common keys like: F1-12, & delete [04:11] cuddlefish: that does sound bad, and way beyond anything I can help you with - sorry [04:11] ok thanks [04:11] ...........well Has anyone ever GOTTEN DIAL UP to ever fuckin work with ubuntu [04:11] i havent [04:11] NetLarIrvine: NP [04:11] !swearing [04:11] Sorry, I don't know anything about swearing [04:11] Mike_lifeguard, do you have a sec to help me figure out what this means? http://pastebin.ca/1462926 [04:11] not even with the pppn installer [04:11] !family [04:11] Sorry, I don't know anything about family [04:12] cuddlefish: you said the md5 of the burned CD matches. How did you determine the md5 of the burned CD? [04:12] FFFFFFFAIL [04:12] jeeves: in a moment, helping someone else right now [04:12] anyone? [04:12] Brasero does it automatically, right?

[04:13] PROject-Emerald::: are you still trying to get your webcam working in 9.04? [04:13] aha yeah, [04:13] im doing the "sudo apt-get upgrade linux-kernel" [04:13] PROject-Emerald::: just use karmic [04:13] cuddlefish: The repos only have the newest kernel. That won't work.

[04:13] PROject-Emerald, you could always try the mainline kernel builds: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds [04:13] what is it with this hatred toward cussing all the sudden..........its like the world has got to be politically correct all the fuckin time [04:14] PROject-Emerald::: its easier to just use 9.10 than try and screw around compiling your own kernel for a webcam [04:14] This is a family friendly channel.

Did you ask it for verification? [04:15] frenzy42: Your router is a DHCP server as well? (BTW why is your wifi "eth0" ?? it should be wlan0 [04:15] ) [04:15] rameshwor: http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/all/ssh/download look there [04:15] lol'd, Digi [04:15] PROject-Emerald::: well then wait until october when 9.10 is released [04:15] by the by ubottu that name is clever No?

[04:16] edbian, i think it's DHCP, and it's eth0 because the card is internal, it's always been like that. [04:16] hey, did they change something so C+A+BkSp doesn't restart X anymore? [04:16] Mike_lifeguard: if you got finished with then plase send in pm. [04:16] and if so, how do i get it back? [04:16] Jess^: yes.

Open a terminal window [04:17] Jess^: no idea. never tried it.. then again. i never had an issue with accidently hitting alt-ctrl-backspace either.... [04:17] rameshwor: sorry, I didn't understand that :\ [04:17] scoates_::: no, i mean tell me more about the problem [04:17] scoates_::: like what is your exact problem [04:17] Mike_lifeguard: you checked about ssh ?? [04:17] scoates_::: my imap clients won't play nice isn't enough [04:18] rameshwor: http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/all/ssh/download lists mirrors for that package [04:18] edbian it's inside the laptop as opposed to plugged into the USB or pci [04:18] so?..........can one user file transfer to another user////using this chat client?......... [04:18] digisapien::: yes [04:18] billybigrigger: I'm receiving mail properly, but my mail clients aren't getting said mail (it's in the right maildirs as far as I can tell). Mail.app complains with the useless stupid exclamation mark icon, but no real error, and my web client just times out. [04:18] Dr_Willis: maybe if you were an emacs user.... [04:18] again new ** [04:18] frenzy42: O ok. Do you have good signal strength? Can this card see your networks? [04:18] sweeet [04:18] scoates_::: tail -f /var/log/mail.log [04:18] frenzy42: Has this card every worked under linux (any linux)? If so, what changed that made it stop working? [04:19] rameshwor: do you know how to download and install that? [04:19] billybigrigger: yes, as I said, the only imap-related message in there is the connection notice, nothing else. [04:19] scoates_::: tried mail.err? [04:19] jeeves: still around? [04:19] digisapien: most irc clients have file transfer support. The details vary between clients.... [04:19] losher: especially as open file is C-f M-r Alt+Shift+f4 :q alt+ctrl+backspace butterfly [04:19] Mike_lifeguard, yep [04:19] anyone here on 9.10? [04:19] i need help with filesharing [04:19] how do you rename a computer?

Meaning that this card for sure is working 100% ??

[04:20] My install script is "cat README.* | more; ./configure; make; make install" [04:20] jeeves: that's ... weird [04:20] i need help badly! can anyone help [04:21] Mike_lifeguard: ok.. then when to use ./configure make install.... ?? [04:21] Double_Kill2: What's your question? Without that nobody can help. [04:21] Mike_lifeguard, it was a botched upgrade. and now my e-mail server, no-ip client, etc is pooched [04:21] edbian yes [04:21] frenzy42, have you checked the list of stored wireless networks to see if there are any conflicting entries named "linksys" ? [04:21] rameshwor: when you're compiling from source... which you *are not* because it's a .deb file, not source code [04:21] i boot up my ubuntu computer and when the desktop loads i can't run anything [04:21] Mike_lifeguard : source code are .c // ?? [04:21] i can't open anything at all [04:21] scoates_::: don't know what to tell you, i've never used courier, only dovecot [04:21] i can move my mouse but thats it [04:22] frenzy42: Well according to your dmessage it is just timing out. Try getting a better signal. Do you have limitations on how many clients can connect to your wifi ?? [04:22] rameshwor: it's a .deb package, not source code, you don't need to compile it [04:22] Double_Kill2: can you get to tty2? (ctrl+alt+f1) [04:22] Double_Kill2: If you click "Applications" does the menu open? [04:22] no [04:22] i will try tty2 [04:22] billybigrigger: thanks for trying. I wish the logs would just say _something_ [04:22] Sup. Im have xubuntu CD and im trying to install xfce on my old computer which is running ubuntu. How can i do that? [04:22] Double_Kill2: Please make it clear who you're talking to by starting with their name like we are. [04:23] n00dle yea, i'v cleaned the list out, where should i look though [04:23] edbian, okay [04:23] scoates_::: yeah, man courier, there must be a way to get some debug info [04:23] box_alpha: You actually don't need the CD :) [04:23] Could anyone help troubleshoot hibernate/resume? [04:23] scoates_::: should be a -v setting somewhere i imagine [04:23] Mike_lifeguard: ok.. can sometimes i while doing ./configure in source code ..i get (..... no ) like errors probably due to no needed files in library .. how to upgrade library ?? [04:23] box_alpha: If you run sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop you will have the option to use XFCE or gnome when you log in. [04:23] edbian, i will try tty2 [04:23] scoates_::: actually, it would probably be a .conf somewhere in /etc/courier that you need to set the log verbosity [04:23] Double_Kill2: ok [04:23] I have a xubuntu CD and im trying to install xfce on my old computer which is running ubuntu. Can anyone help me with that please? [04:23] Double_Kill2: if you manage to get to tty2, try running some command line programs see if there are any errors... [04:23] rameshwor: often you need the -dev package for the library [04:23] rameshwor: find the library, install it (btw, those are not errors usually) [04:23] box_alpha: See my post? ^ [04:23] edbian: if i want to install from xubuntu cd ?? [04:24] frenzy42, the places I'd check are the "Edit wireless networks..." dialog on the network manager (right-click) [04:24] billybigrigger: yeah.. looked around.. trying to find it now. [04:24] rameshwor: also note you often need the -dev ones for that [04:24] !hardware [04:24] For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [04:24] Anyone have a Moto W385 phone working with moto4lin? [04:24] rameshowr: Switched nickname? You don't need to it's in the repos. [04:24] edbian, do i run it while im in ubuntu [04:24] jeeves: have you tried installing that alone using dpkg? [04:24] Double_Kill2: Run what? [04:24] box_alpha, do you want to remove gome and install xfce or have both installed? [04:24] edbian, tty2 [04:24] edbian. the thing is when i use another wireless card it works fine, but i want my internal card to work [04:24] Mike_lifeguard, yep [04:24] Double_Kill2: yes [04:24] something about that link is not clickable.

[04:25] Hey every [04:25] edbian: yes. mistak.. it's rameshwor actually.. install xfce from xubuntu cd .. from repo takes time.. poor connection... [04:25] Mike_lifeguard, yes [04:25] http://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport === fred_ is now known as Guest1813 [04:25] bah! :D [04:25] rameshwor: oooo!! [04:25] frenzy42, I'd also look in gconf-editor to see if there's stuff hanging out there, but I don't have 9.04, and things move around a lot between versions. [04:25] Anyone know of any ATI RV280 (Radeon 9200Pro ) drivers? [04:25] you know In XP you just double click on the EXE. to install summin LOLOLOL [04:25] rameshwor: Yeah launch ubuntu and then put the CD in the drive and it will ask you if you want to use the packages on it. === ubuntu is now known as glick [04:25] hi [04:25] im having problems getting ubuntu x64 to boot from a sata dvdrw drive, are there any kernel options that help? [04:26] rameshwor: Then use synaptic. [04:26] edbian: if it's live cd also ??? [04:26] jeeves: sorry, I don't know enough (anything) about that particular package, so I can't really help you [04:26] digisapien: and that's why Windows machines are so prone to malware and Linux boxes aren't. [04:26] Man, the hardware list has NO socket 1366 stuff? [04:26] jeeves: but it looks like an error with /starting/ the service, not installing it [04:26] hi? [04:26] excuse me, with ubuntu netbook remix, how does one turn off various hardware devices to conserve power [04:26] like bluetooth [04:26] ive heard about using irqpoll and pci=noacpi options? [04:26] please help me setup nfs sharing [04:26] built in nic card [04:26] glick: you on an eeepc? [04:26] etc, etc [04:26] frenzy42: You need to google your card and find out what drivers work best with it (or work at all). I suspect you have a driver problem. Google something like: on ubuntu 9.04 [04:26] I am using the networkmanager for setting up a static ip, I have netmask as 255.255.255.0, gateway 59.66.241.0 (determined by `route`) , and the static ip address that I wanted (59.66.241.27). I resolved my DNS to be 166.111.8.28 (from /etc/resolv.conf) but I still cannot use static ip, any ideas? [04:26] Im going to try to build my own machine and I want it to just work beautifully with Ubuntu/Linux [04:26] yeah boss_mc [04:26] glick: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:26] glick look into eee-control [04:26] Oh my, #ubuntu is quite active tonight. :x [04:26] its installed but i dont know how to configure it in shares-admin [04:27] How do I update to 9.10? [04:27] edbian, this makes no sense [04:27] rameshwor: LIve CD's have packages on them. An xubuntu live Cd almost certainly has the xfce packages on it. [04:27] boss_mc, is that something extra i have to install? [04:27] Double_Kill2: ?? Explain [04:27] I have a xubuntu 9.04 CD and im trying to install xfce on my old computer which is running ubuntu. Can anyone help me with that please? [04:27] glick, unfortunately it's not in repos for jaunty, google for it [04:27] .....Odd, using linux is like finding that one girl with respect, dignity, the kind you got to buy lots of dinners for and fine jewelry,........but erry' now and then you got to take out that gutter trash XP just cuz you know you like it dirty [04:27] jasonmchristos: I can probably help, but not using shares-admin. I'm a cli-only kind of guy.... [04:27] glick: eeebuntu works great! i am running it on my eeepc 900 [04:27] edbian: then i can just install xfce from that cd without internet ? right ?? [04:27] Double_Kill2: What happened when you pressed ctrl + alt + F2 in ubuntu? [04:27] disappearedng_, check your gateway address, seems to be missing the last number (can't be 0) [04:27] edbian, i shut it down several times and still could never open anything and this time it's working fine [04:27] rameshwor: If you have the xubuntu CD yes. [04:27] anyone here using mac3lin theme? [04:27] edbian, i never tried it yet [04:27] britt, whats the diff between ubuntu netbook remix and eeebuntu [04:27] mac4lin [04:27] Double_Kill2: It's working now?? [04:27] losher well where do we start both nfs and smb are installed on server [04:27] glick: UNR is supported, eeebuntu is not... [04:28] edbian, yes...you think it was a glitch? [04:28] losher: i want to try nfs' [04:28] box_alpha, do you want to remove gome and install xfce or have both installed? [04:28] boss_mc, sounds like i want UNR then no? [04:28] edbian: yes i have it.. i dint' know that someone in this channel previously told that it couldnt' be done with live cd..... [04:28] glick: eeebuntu uses regular gnome graphical manager, the netbook remix seems to mimick the OEM install on these things [04:28] edbian i noticed today i wasn't using ndiswrapper [04:28] glick: that's what I'd say, with eee-control [04:28] jasonmchristos: ok. do you have an /etc/exports file? If so, please pastebin it... [04:28] Double_Kill2: I think the next time it does that you need to somehow get to a terminal and run "dmesg" and look for errors to deterimine the cause. dmesg is the first step [04:28] losher: can you use remote desktop go slow and let me watch? [04:28] britt, UNR has the regular gnome manager too [04:28] rameshwor: IT can be done. [04:28] britt, its just a toggle option [04:28] Anyone know how to upgrade to 9.10 or install the .30 kernel? Need newbie support [04:28] edbian, okay thanks [04:28] wait [04:28] n00dle: 59.66.241.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 1 0 0 eth2 [04:29] glick: intresting....i liked the eee-control panel built-in, i havent checked out the netbook remix [04:29] n00dle: Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface [04:29] jasonmchristos: maybe. Do you have a publicly accessible remote desktop? [04:29] my Gateway is * [04:29] How do I keep Ubuntu from booting to GDM? I want it to go right to console [04:29] what does that mean [04:29] !intel | PROject-Emerald, there's some instructions here (second link...) [04:29] frenzy42: Try using ndis. The driver you have I suspect is partially working. That is why you can see networks but not connect to them yet. [04:29] PROject-Emerald, there's some instructions here (second link...): 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. [04:29] losher: yes === eus is now known as eusu_kefuin [04:29] glick: my main issue now is my brand new core i7 system i cant install ubuntu on :( [04:29] edbian: ok great.. i was thinking to overwrite ubuntu 8.10 with xubuntu 9.04 but now i'll install xfce.. for fast performance..i want xfce. [04:29] losher: pm me i dont want everyone to have acess [04:29] rameshwor: XFCE is quick :) [04:29] britt, if its something i can easily install myself, ill go with the supported, im running a live usb stick on my 1000he [04:29] rameshwor: That it is [04:29] disappearedng_, 59.66.241.0 is a network, not a gateway address. What's the address of the router? (usually .1 or .254) [04:29] why not britt [04:29] What does that have to do with anyting? -_- I need to update to 9.10 alpha or get the new kernel... [04:30] Hey, things are looking lively now... I'm using 9.04 and my wireless doesnt show up when I "lspci | grep net" [04:30] edbian, how do i install ndis? [04:30] PROject-Emerald: it has instructions to upgrade the kernel (cos it fixes the graphics issue) [04:30] n00dle how do I find my router's address out? [04:30] glick: both have pretty good support, ive been using eeebuntu before the netbook remix came out...been a couple of years [04:30] rameshwor: You can definitely install software from a live CD. Usually the trick is finding a live CD that has the packages you want on it. xubuntu live CD will have xubuntu-desktop so no worries :) [04:30] PROject-Emerald: upgrading to .30 kernel is part of the workaround for that bug [04:30] ah [04:30] PROject-Emerald: look in the bleeding-edge section of the guide [04:30] rameshwor, what are you trying to do? [04:30] Hoi [04:30] glick: both are easy to install though... [04:30] disappearedng_, Usually from your network admin. [04:30] Hi* [04:30] edbian: ok many thanks man....

[04:30] :) [04:31] glick: http://greg.geekmind.org/eee-control/ [04:31] ie. without saying "Try Ubuntu without any change to your computer" [04:31] PROject-Emerald: if you need help, poke me [04:31] tyler_d: why would you want to? [04:31] n00dle: is there other way that I can do this? [04:31] box_alpha: ubuntu is slow so i want xfce ... so i'm gonna install xfce desktop from xubuntu 9.04 live cd.. that's it. [04:31] has anyone installed ubuntu with the DX58SO board? I cant get ubuntu to see my cdrom drive [04:31] greetings all. web pages are saying that java is not installed. Java is installed.

[04:34] if the live image of UNR is any indication, it's gonna be a sweet system. [04:34] britt, actually looking at the website he has ubuntu deb packages ready to install [04:34] Detrix: sometimes installing a jre doesn't put the mozilla plugin in the firefox dir, just fyi [04:35] glick: there we go! just do that then lol [04:35] KyleK: hmmm. ok thanks. [04:35] boss_mc: no idea. [04:35] britt: uname -r [04:35] does anyone here make Wiki page entries often?

[04:36] frenzy42: Do you know how to use ndiswrapper / what is does?? [04:37] billybigrigger: did you try ? [04:37] boss_mc: there used to be some issues with the eeepc's wireless card and ubuntu not sure if its been resolved, which is why im still using eeebuntu [04:37] PROject-Emerald: there's a section on installing the new kernel, you don't have to do the rest fo the stuff... [04:37] Ah, well if I do the whole thing will it benefit me at all? [04:37] boss_mc: 2.6.28-12-netbook-eeepc [04:37] Mike_lifeguard::: yeah its not like that [04:37] boss_mc: because I am unable to boot into an existing configured system with mdadm installed, as the raid thinks it should be bootable... but its not supposed to be. so I have to fakeroot to try and fix it. [04:37] PROject-Emerald: no, you /only/ want the new kernel [04:37] britt: yeah, that's the array.org one [04:37] Oooh.... [04:37] uhh... [04:37] Damn...

[04:38] tyler_d1: can't you just use ctrl+alt+f1 and work from there? or even just a terminal in the live CD? [04:38] Or am I just wasting space? [04:38] boss_mc: all i know is that between my two linux computers, the eeepc works great and my i7 server with RAID 5 doesnt work at all and wont install from a live CD [04:38] billybigrigger: I bet there's an irc channel for that software *shrug* [04:38] PROject-Emerald: yes, it can [04:38] i see [04:38] D:sheet [04:38] frenzy42: There is a GUI in System -> Preferences / Admin [04:38] boss_mc: I was hoping I woulnd' thave to wait for the gui to load up to get to a term. [04:38] tyler_d: You don't need a GUI to get a terminal [04:39] PROject-Emerald: the other stuff involves installing possibly-unstable mostly-untested xorg code etc and can result in total system borkage (but it probably won't) [04:39] I have an issue with my wireless on Ubuntu 9.04. I don't get any options for wireless. Broadcom Adapter. Linux Kernel 2.6.28-11-generic. Any ideas on how to solve it. [04:39] tyler_d: fair, there is a way, involving hitting function buttons no the load page... I don't kn owht edetails [04:39] *mod spelling... [04:39] Well, once kernel is updated is it automatically in use? [04:39] Or do I have to select it? Or what? [04:40] how so edbian [04:40] PROject-Emerald: you'll need a reboot, bhoose it from the grub menu next boot [04:40] kk [04:40] PROject-Emerald: no, you need to add it to /boot/grub/menu.lst if not already done, then choose it from grub's boot menu [04:40] edbian: how do I bypass the live cd to get to a term using it.? [04:40] And, I have another super newb question [04:40] sure, just ask :) [04:41] Gossip is an instant messaging client for GNOME with an ..... does that mean it wont' work on xubuntu ?? [04:41] You know how with a lot of video cards on Windows they have driver apps to install, like control panels? [04:41] tyler_d: o, I'm sorry, I didn't know you were using a live CD. I don't think you can with a live Ubuntu CD. There are others though that are much smaller images and boot to a linux kernel command prompt. [04:41] PROject-Emerald: ...not really, no :) [04:41] eee control is pretty cool, however, it cant adjust the performance on my netbook, it says "none" when i expand the menu [04:41] Well, is there something that will give me windows-like graphics equivelants on linux?

[05:20] Bonkers, more than likely it cannot find the gnome settings it needs to open correctly, you installed window maker but still have gnome right? [05:20] edbian: Done. At the end, a popup said "Unable to see if hardware is present" [05:20] rameshwor::: no i wasn't asking how to do it [05:20] ADIvIiN_X_: Then it didn't work :( [05:20] ctmjr: the gnome-sound-properties opened fine, it just changed my fonts along with it [05:20] rameshwor::: it was for a guy running a livecd, nick was ubuntu [05:20] how can i add support for the http protocol to the file open dialog box?

[05:21] rameshwor::: you just finished off for me :P [05:21] right now it does absolutely nothing when i input a http url [05:21] maybe if I just restart window maker now that I've changed settings all will be well [05:21] brb [05:21] edbian: The item added says Hardware Present: Yes [05:21] Bonkers: You must not use it very much [05:21] Hello, id like to configure a PPTP VPN connection so i can connect to my Employers VPN, but in the NetworkManager Applet, even there is a VPN Button, it will not let me setup a new VPN connection, the Button is simply greyed out [05:21] billybigrigger: i had gone through the same step few days back .so .. otherwise i'm also newbie. i could i do it ...lol [05:21] ADIvIiN_X_: Do wifi networks show up in the network? [05:22] overrider, you'll have to install nm-pptp plugin to enable adding a pptp vpn. [05:22] to install ubuntu on 170 gig harddrive, should i install it as a single giant partition or is therea partition scheme people recommend [05:23] billybigrigger: i think the setup(hd0,x) x is not compulsion... [05:23] ctmjr: I assume I just have to change font properties somewhere or edit the sound settings some other wya? it's gnome-settings-daemon that's changng my fonts [05:23] edbian: No. ALso, if I push COnfigure Network it says "could not find a network configuration tool" [05:23] if I start gnome-settings-daemon, sounds go away, but fonts are worng, if I kill it, fonts are back fixed but then sound is back too [05:23] overrider, the package name is network-manager-pptp [05:24] ADIvIiN_X_: run "modprobe ndiswrapper" and run "ndiswrapper -l" and give me the output. [05:24] anyone recommend a particular partitioning scheme? [05:24] for ubuntu on my netbook? [05:25] glick, I prefer one big partition (plus a swap, of course).

Odd that it would not be there out of the Box, or not there at all until you install it. Instead they tease you by giving you a Button you can't click :-) , Thanks for the tip! [05:25] hehe maybe cause its soooo smalll [05:25] it feels toyish [05:25] glick: /boot, /, swap, /home [05:25] español [05:25] Bonkers, you can still log into gnome and fix it, in the login screen chose options sessions gnome [05:26] cual es la de español [05:26] FeasibilityStudy, sizes?

[05:30] Bonkers, the sound and font rendering or did you fix it already [05:30] msl: yes [05:30] I can change the settings fine, but they only take effect when gnome-settings-daemon is running, which also messes with the fonts [05:30] stealth-, What are the permissions on .ssh on the server? [05:30] so starting gnome isn't going to help much [05:30] I have to unset the font stuff somehow [05:30] rameshwor Grub does to the MBR, not to a partition [05:30] stealth-, Perhaps if you initiated a connection with the verbose option set, it would yield some clues...

[05:33] anyone ? [05:33] stealth-, You might try adding 'PubkeyAuthentication yes' to your /etc/ssh/sshd_config file and restarting sshd [05:33] dude i just want to reinstall the application with the config files [05:33] can I just turn off pulseaudio somehow? [05:33] what are you going on about?

Last time this happened I restarted, and my whole file system was corrupted. It's back now, but still having the same issue. Sorry, kind of new to ubuntu. [05:34] Jeruvy: ok. got it.. [05:34] rameshwor: It should probably say mbr = Master Boot Record [05:34] jamesbrink: oh [05:35] rikki_max: thats what i would have though also heh [05:35] stealth-, No problem. I have spent too much time working on ssh config issues :) [05:35] anything about pidgin skype plugin?! [05:35] but i heard.. grub can be installed do different partition or like that....... [05:36] so anyone else know how i can reinstall the proftpd config files [05:36] help me please! i have my monitor to display after 11 minutes,and doesnot work why? [05:36] hey, i only have a blank dvd, no cd. can i burn just the cd iso? [05:36] jamesbrink default proftpd? [05:36] yeah [05:36] rameshwor: GRUB can allow options to boot from several different partitions [05:36] this is bugging the crap out of me [05:36] jtrask, I believe so, but not 100% sure [05:36] why do not try vsftpd? i use it and is simple [05:37] soreau: ok. [05:37] StormWinged: i prefer proftpd [05:37] i dunno if i have to start downloading a dvd iso is all [05:37] jtrask: what are you burning, data? [05:37] but i cannot figure out why apt-get wont reinstall the config file [05:37] edbian: No. Still does not show. [05:37] Jeruvy: ubuntu iso [05:37] Hmmm, multiOS boot DVD? [05:37] semester's over and i'm trying to wean myself back to vim now that i'm getting good at it [05:38] so no more dual booting for me ;) [05:38] jamesbrink: dpkg --purge proftpd ; apt-get install proftpd [05:38] jamesbrink: did you try apt-get remove proftpd --purge? [05:38] hey all [05:38] jtrask: I'd be curious if it would boot. [05:38] and after that... try apt-get autoremove [05:38] stealth-, My question is, why was that option missing from your config file when it's supposed to be there by default? Did you do some sort of custom install or did you build your OpenSSH from source? It's very odd that a default configuration directive should mysteriously be missing from the config file! [05:38] anyone know if the VIA VT1708S onboard sound is supported by 9.04 ? [05:38] jamesbrink: and after those 2 commands try to reinstall it again [05:38] Jeruvy: simply by using the cd iso instead of the dvd one, eh? [05:38] different image formats i guess [05:38] LordDragon: there's always the LiveCD to test your sound [05:38] well thats a shame [05:39] if i have gtk+ tool. then can i run gnome app. under Xfce..??

[05:51] elias078: Drivers for most hardware in linux comes installed by default.

Also see http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ for a way to boot without an CD [05:53] cool [05:53] troll_, rm will delete a file in the terminal. But if you can't delete in the GUI, you probably won't be removing from the CLI either...

If it has a 'configure' or 'autogen.sh' file, you should run './configure --prefix=/usr' or './autogen.sh --prefix=/usr' respectively. If it already has a Makefile, then just run make. You will ultimately have to run 'make; sudo make install' successfully for it to be installed [06:02] hello.. where can i get gcc compiler for windows if you guys know any....

[06:57] FeasibilityStudy: hm, nope, let me give that a shot [06:58] hi [06:58] raevol: Right. That's still way too big. 10G would be more than enough. No particular need to separate / and /usr/local. Partitions can be resized (sometimes) by booting the live-cd and running gparted [06:58] I'm trying to watch a stream [06:58] on nasa tv [06:58] foo it should do the same thing as you were trying on the command line.

[07:00] indus: disable caps lock please, thanks [07:01] iceroot: it was an accident ,no need to be sarcastic about it [07:01] indus, I enjoyed our little discourse [07:01] raevol: no, you are correct. If you want to preserve /usr/local across installations it should be on a separate partition. It's just that in most ubuntu distributions, there's nothing worth saving is /usr/local [07:01] and the reenactment of the capslock meme. I found your acting a little stiff, however. [07:01] ircnickiuse: i want to help some users so please leave me alone [07:01] :-( you can help me if you like [07:02] indus, that will make you feel AMAZING -so I am trying to setup freenx, and the node.conf is utterly nuked, freenx guys says it is ubuntu's fault [07:02] foo: I noticed in ur command you did " | lame --preset standard - Visiting10.mp3" Notice the "-" in front of Visiting. [07:02] and I blame shuttleworth himself. [07:02] When I download something like Django, How comes it doesn't show up in the Download box? [07:02] losher: yea, that's where ut2004 and neverwinter nights install to, and they are a pain to install :[ lots of cds [07:02] so I want freenx working in 20 minutes [07:02] ircnickiuse: i have no idea what freenx is [07:02] FeasibilityStudy: yeah, that takes input from stdin. hm, there is something wrong with my flac [07:02] wait i google it [07:02] indus, don't worry, google does, chop chop [07:03] losher: thanks, i'll probably just repartition when 9.10 comes out [07:03] raevol: might be easier to just backup /usr/local.... [07:03] Omar87: What soundcard do you have? [07:04] losher: ... not a bad idea [07:04] ircnickiuse: do you feel you will get help for it here? hmm [07:04] Anyone help me on this? When I download something like Django, How comes it doesn't show up in the Download box?

I've tried a bunch of times.... [07:05] Omar87: Can you tell me whats in there? [07:05] ircnickiuse: hmm to remotely manage an X desktop right? [07:05] losher, I am so close. I am just at the point where it fails completely for no apparent reason [07:05] NX> 208 Using auth method: publickey [07:05] - NX> 204 Authentication failed. [07:05] good morning people [07:06] ircnickiuse: could you tell me some use case scenarios where NX could be used [07:06] Anyone help me on this? When I download something like Django, How comes it doesn't show up in the Download box? [07:06] indus, yeah, you install it on one computer, and connect to it and move the mouse from another computer [07:06] ircnickiuse: that sounds familiar. I went back to vnc. At least I understand how it works... [07:06] PsyCl0ne: Nothing. [07:06] losher, nomachines nx server installs easier than youporn.com into firefox [07:06] losher: AH. thank you. what'd you search for to get that? === elpargo__ is now known as elpargo [07:07] and freenx is pretty simple, but looks like the ubuntu package is a pile of fail, with blank conf files [07:07] ircnickiuse: could you tell me any windows alternatives? [07:07] can someone please tell me what is a good application for converting mpg file into a dvd or xvid format for ubuntu? It would be nice if it has a nice gui:) [07:07] Omar87: ok, add options snd-hda-intel model=auto to it and save [07:07] foo: I googled for FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_ERROR_STATUS_LOST_SYNC [07:07] indus, this is wonderful. yes, vnc and remote desktop [07:07] losher: thank you [07:07] foo: but did it work? [07:07] PsyCl0ne: "options" is included? [07:07] Omar87: options snd-hda-intel model=auto [07:08] Omar87: Sorry about that [07:08] lexr: try avidemux [07:08] ircnickiuse: hmm so what do we call the display in windows? For example,its X on Linux [07:08] Is Flac free? [07:08] losher: yes [07:08] PsyCl0ne: Done [07:08] wizzo50: free /open [07:08] foo: yowzah! [07:08] losher: thanks. I'll google it now... [07:08] !flac [07:08] 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 [07:08] Omar87: kk :) can you restart your computer, Ill wait for you here [07:09] PsyCl0ne: Okat thanks. I'll brb. [07:09] mods say please a bit too much :) no need to be so polite [07:10] just a thought [07:10] ircnickiuse: so what is the problem you are facing? [07:11] dows avidemux have an option of shrinking files? I have a 7.5gb mpg file that has to be fitted on 4.7gb dvd for my mom. :) [07:12] *does [07:12] What is FreeNX? [07:12] lexr: i think you can recode file [07:13] Hi [07:13] Omar87:Welcome back, does it work? [07:13] simplexio: ok, thanks very much :). My mommy will be pleased :) [07:13] PsyCl0ne: Nope, nothing yet. Same problem. [07:13] losher are you still in here? I tested it on a different computer connected on the same router. I don't know if that makes a difference, but for some reason when I tried to install the Flash plugins it said it was completed and then I went back to speakeasy and it said I needed to upgrade to Flash v7 or higher. Anyway my download spped was 12049 kbps [07:14] Omar87: Wanna try alsamixer in terminal [07:14] PsyCl0ne: [07:14] PsyCl0ne: "PsyCl0ne: " [07:15] PsyCl0ne: "alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory" [07:15] sorry about that. [07:15] What does alsamixer do PsyCl0ne? [07:15] hi [07:15] wizzo50: It's just a control interface. [07:15] wizzo50: Actually I seriously dont know, I have just recently installed ALSA too and I had the same problem [07:15] who's here? [07:16] What is "Ubuntu"? [07:16] I see scale bars [07:16] Wythe: comcast has a scam going called speedboost. The first few megabytes download super quickly, then they throttle the connection right down. I don't think you're seeing any malfunction. It's just comcastic... [07:16] Omar87: did you remove the other sound drivers? [07:16] morb: It's a sandwich made out of cheese, tuna, and scrambled eggs. [07:17] PsyCl0ne: No, haven't [07:17] What's Omar87 trouble? [07:17] can anyone else helpme ? I was told I have an iternet problem because of comcast speed boost thats cause package manager to go to about 5 mb/s for 3 seconds then start downloading about 3000 bytes/sec [07:17] Omar87: Could you try removing the other drivers. I dont know the command off hand but I think there might be a conflict between that and ALSA [07:18] I should probably either remove ALSA or OSS4. [07:19] Omar87: Well im running ALSA currently I dont know what OSS4 is, I just got rid of pulse, but I made sure to get rid of it before I installed ALSA [07:19] Omar87: could you restate your problem [07:19] PsyCl0ne: But since ALSA doesn't work well with me, it produces this annoy glittering sound when an event sound comes out. [07:20] indus: I just switched my sound system from ALSA to OSS4 but now there's no sound at all. Not even when I switched back to ALSA. [07:20] Omar87: hmm oss 4 isnt that brand new? [07:20] Omar87: sorry, then this will be as far as I can go in helping you [07:21] what was that command to list all process accessing network? [07:21] indus: Yeah, it seems that way. [07:21] PsyCl0ne: It's okay. [07:21] how do you find which Ubuntu vesion you're running? [07:21] PsyCl0ne: Thanks anyway. [07:21] want it quickly.. something is sucking up the data:) [07:21] Omar87: pulse is a sound server ,it uses either alsa or oss libs whatever you tell it to do [07:21] cat /proc/version = nothing... uname -a = nothing [07:21] anyone? [07:21] shyam_k, netstat [07:22] shyam_k: netstat -t [07:22] Aocla: cat /etc/lsb-release [07:22] Omar87: how did you install oss4 ? [07:22] gotchya [07:22] wizzo50: he has a bad attitude is all.... [07:23] oh ohk it was my bro taking his things from the desktop downstairs:) hehe [07:23] indus: Someone here told me to just download the .deb off the website and install it. So I did that. [07:23] alrighty, so I'm running 8.10, anyone know how I can upgrade to Python 2.6 via apt ? apt-cache search is showing only Python 2.4,2.5,3.0 ... anyone? [07:23] oh === The is now known as TheMythMaker [07:24] I saw that earlier [07:24] thanks unop and indus [07:24] Omar87: sudo dpkg -remove --purge [07:25] indus: Yeah, I just did that. I removed OSS4. [07:25] Omar87: did u use purge? [07:25] Join ##list [07:25] Omar87: restart pc :) [07:26] indus: Nope. [07:26] indus: whats that send-q on netstat -t? [07:26] Omar87: always restart when i doubt === mquin_ is now known as mquin [07:27] ubottu can i get the list of ubuntu based distros [07:27] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [07:27] ,ubuntu distros [07:27] !ubuntu distros [07:27] Sorry, I don't know anything about ubuntu distros [07:27] shyam_k: its the packets sent back or reject by remote host [07:28] ok what will tell me the total datatransfer.? [07:28] !derivatives [07:28] There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), crunchbang (support in #crunchbang) [07:28] om26er1: compiling such a list would be unfeasible [07:28] shyam_k: not packets ,byte counts,iam not sure what it means [07:28] om26er1: as new ones are released all the time [07:28] shyam_k: try only a netstat for a lot more results [07:29] plz tell me some famous [07:29] om26er1: I can name some if you like [07:29] shyam_k: I think the send-q has something to do with the amount of data queued to be sent [07:29] ok: moonos, fluxbuntu, nubuntu [07:29] linux mint [07:29] First time user; can't even install the Ubuntu; using 9.04, i386 package; shuts down install, no matter which way I do it; won't even let me try it from the CD. [07:29] lstarnes: i am looking for total data transfer done by those process which are still continuing.. [07:29] ya [07:30] Hi [07:30] indus: Done! It works now. [07:30] (i personally love moonos, it uses lxde by default instead of gnome/kde) [07:30] actionparsnip give the names [07:30] Omar87: :) i know [07:30] indus: lol! [07:30] om26er1: see above, those are the names [07:30] om26er1: did you see the list that ubottu gave? [07:30] TheMythMaker: did you md5 check the iso and verify the cd one booted to? [07:30] Omar87: sometimes you should atleast logout and login back to see results [07:31] indus: Yeah, I know. :D [07:31] ActionParsnip: hello [07:31] indus: So, that's basically all I need to do when I want to switch from one of them to the other right? [07:31] indus: holla [07:31] ActionParsnip: since I torrented the iso, the md5 check is built in. From what I can tell, the CD is good. [07:32] Omar87: hmm you mean from alsa to oss? [07:32] TheMythMaker: still worth a check, it is an operating system after all [07:32] indus: Umm, yeah, sort of. [07:32] TheMythMaker: the torrent protocol does have checking built in as you say [07:32] Omar87: why do u need oss btw? [07:32] Shouldnt my 'mv' have an -n option? [07:32] TheMythMaker: burn the disk as slow as you can too, that can help [07:32] Does anyone have that? [07:33] kostodo: not here [07:33] kostodo: iam not sure never used it [07:33] kostodo: man pages dont list it [07:33] indus: Actually the main problem is that I keep getting this annoying glittering sound sometimes when and event happens. [07:33] ActionParsnip: I may have to try that, but I have some wierd things going on with it. First, it tells me that i386 != amd64, which I know, and whiwh is inappropriate for my system. [07:34] indus: ..when *an* event happens. [07:34] TheMythMaker: a 64bit chip can run a 32bit OS [07:34] Omar87: what kind of event [07:34] TheMythMaker: so its not innapropriate, it just doest fuly utilise your cpu [07:34] Omar87: all such sounds can be controlled from the sound preferences dialog [07:34] indus: For example, when someone logs in on Emesene. [07:34] ActionParsnip: Actually, I only have an Intel 32bit, so I have no idea why it says that. [07:35] indus: Sometimes not with events only. It also happens sometimes when I play a video on MPlayer. [07:35] TheMythMaker: try: cat /proc/cpuinfo | less [07:35] Omar87:whats a glittering sound [07:35] how to update linux kernet [07:35] kernel [07:35] TheMythMaker: see what it says your cpu is, if you boot a 32bit OS it will run the 64bit CPU in 32bit mode [07:36] I booted without a video card an changed some init items (believe I've changed everything back now) and now eth0 doesn't run at the startup and my gateway assignment is gone, any leads to what I should do to fix it? [07:36] om26er1: they come down in updates like an other software [07:36] indus: I don't know how to describe it. It goes something like "TICK TACK TICK TICK TICK TICK!!!!" but really fast and very annoying. [07:36] Omar87: which sound card do you have [07:36] ActionParsnip: I'm in Windows right now. I have an Intel CPU detector program which claims it's Intel 32. [07:36] indus: Intel. [07:36] ok how to check the current version of the kernel [07:37] TheMythMaker: is the windows OS 32bit? === shady` is now known as shady [07:37] Omar87: this is a sound preferences thing, just stop all system sounds [07:37] ActionParsnip: Yes, and keeps updating 32. [07:37] ok, if i can get nmblookup of some but not other network computers, why would this be. [07:37] TheMythMaker: thats most likely why [07:37] Omar87: disable software sound mixing [07:37] ActionParsnip: ? [07:37] DINK_: check in /etc/network/interfaces and make sure you have the line: auto eth0 [07:38] indus: It's not only with system sounds. Sometimes it happens when I play a video on MPlayer. [07:38] how do i know the version of my linux kernel [07:38] TheMythMaker: might as well get it right. What is the make & model of your PC? [07:38] ActionParsnip, thanks for th lead [07:38] Omar87: that sound actually comes from clicking buttons,browser back and front buttons i too had this mystery sound for some time [07:38] if i want to add a startup script such as the following http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1137145 (last post) where would i put it and what extension should it have? [07:38] Indus: Could I steal you for some help with ALSA too please, well when you are done helping Omar87 [07:39] TheMythMaker: the system will run as a 32bit system despite you having a 64bit chip as the OS drives the cpu, it the OS is 32bit based it will use the CPU as 32bit. Most 64Bit chips can be run in 32Bit mode with emulation [07:39] PsyCl0ne: iam a big noob to be honest but ill try to help [07:39] I've got my evolution pulling email from exchange (with OWA), and it seemed to work fine for a few hours, and then all of a sudden 95% of my inbox disapears. I had ~1700 emails, and all of a sudden it got rid of (seemingly random) all but 13 of them - any ideas? [07:39] TheMythMaker: short version is: download the amd64 iso and check it [07:39] indus: Yeah, but that's not the one I'm talking about. [07:39] losher: VIA EPIA - P4PB 400 Motherboard. Only supports 32b chipcs. [07:39] PsyCl0ne: you can go ahead and ask though, i can handle 2 at one time :P [07:39] what is the version of my linux kernel how do i know [07:39] indus: Me too, but it seems you know a little more then I do. [07:40] ActionParsnip, thanks it wasn't there. If I reboot should my dhcp assign me an ip? or do I still need to fix the default gateway? [07:40] Omar87: maybe sound card is gone nuts [07:40] Omar87: no issues in windows? [07:40] DINK_: no need to reboot [07:40] DINK_: sudo /etc/init.d/networking stop; sleep 5; sudo /etc/init.d/networking start [07:40] indus: I haven't installed Windows in this machine ever since I switched to Linux about 2 years ago. [07:41] TheMythMaker: confirmed. P4 celeron, 32 bit processors [07:41] DINK_: linux is made to have few reboots. You only really need to reboot to boot a new kernel. Rebooting is for windows [07:41] ok so some one is accessing some files from my system, whats the best command to know more about such info? [07:41] Omar87: hmm difficult to know what the issue is really.Does it happen continuously or sometimes only [07:41] shyam_k, fuser [07:41] losher: I'll can try the amd64 build, but I can't see how it can work. [07:42] indus: But as far as I remember, one of my friends who use Ubuntu recognized the sound when I told him about it. [07:42] if i want to add a startup script such as the following http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1137145 (last post) where would i put it and what extension should it have? [07:42] Indus:k, long story short, Jaunty 64, installed ALSA with this guide http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1046137, Im at the part where Im testing with $ speaker-test -Dplughw:X,0 -c2 but I get this error http://www.pastebin.ca/1463046 [07:42] indus: So I guess he has it too. [07:42] TheMythMaker: which iso was it that you've already tried? [07:42] losher: ubuntu-9.04-desktop-i386.iso [07:43] indus: And it does not happen everywhere either. [07:43] TheMythMaker: 9.04 is a bit quirky. If I were you, I'd try 8.04 next.... [07:43] hu, small question; how can i bind the terminal und the SUPER_L key? [07:44] applications-settings-keyboard-shortcut and then? [07:44] teeneo: you can make assign a shortcut to it [07:44] losher: Really? I got the impression it was stable now. Okay. I'll try that too. [07:44] !shortcut [07:44] Keyboard shortcuts can be set in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts. If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try the 'keytouch' package, explained at http://keytouch.sourceforge.net - See !Keyboard for changing layouts [07:44] PsyCl0ne: why did you install alsa that way? [07:44] ActionParsnip, thanks I'l save this info, when i ran the networking reboot command it took it down but then "ifup: Failed to open statefile /var/run/network/ifstate permission denied" when it tried to configure. I ran it with sudo too [07:45] DINK_: try checking the permissions of that file [07:45] TheMythMaker: run it down for me one more time, cos I joined this discussion late. What exactly happens during boot? [07:45] indus: Okay okay, listen. It sounds so much similar the sound of opening/shutting a zip. === rachel is now known as Guest68269 [07:45] got it :F [07:45] indus: It just seemed the easiest, Im still new to linux and I dont know how to compile from source and stuff [07:45] DINK_: mine ssays: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 16 2009-06-16 15:39 /var/run/network/ifstate [07:45] indus: similar *to* the sound... [07:45] i downloaded a file the md5sum is wrong. Is there a way to check and the download? may be with wget? [07:46] The_Warlock: thanks, i got inode from netstat -te now can i use that in fuser -n tcp? [07:46] PsyCl0ne: when you installed jaunty, wasnt sound working for you by default? [07:46] shubbar: if the file you downloaded fails md5, it must be redownloaded as it has corrupted in transfer [07:46] losher: If I try booting from the CD, I get to ash (which I don't know how to use) but no further. This also happens if I try to do a complete install from boot-up. [07:46] shubbar: torrents use a lot of error checking so can help reduce, as well as speed distribution by seeding [07:47] shubbar: you might be able to use bittorrent to fix the corruption [07:47] !pastebin [07:47] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/index.php?page=add | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic [07:47] ActionParsnip, Mine says the same thing [07:47] :/ [07:47] losher: If I install in Windows, or even just try installing the "boot from CD" optional program (since I can't normally), I get "wrong arch: i386 != amd64" but it continues with install for a while. [07:48] Omar87:can you tell me if that sound is from the speaker or from internal speakers [07:48] indus: Sorry, I meant the sound of openning/shutting a Zipper. [07:48] losher: Then it starts saying "ERROR root: [Errno 22] Invalid argument" [07:48] indus: Yes it was, but when I would use skype my cpu usage would leap to 100% and then it would crash skype or some weird issues [07:48] DINK_: then I'm clueless [07:48] indus: From both. [07:48] TheMythMaker: I'm confused. Is this a wubi install? [07:48] losher: I'm pasting from the log here [07:48] DINK_: try a reboot. weirder things have happened at sea [07:49] losher: Yes, [07:49] PsyCl0ne: i suggest you go back to default sound first otherwise its difficult to troubleshoot/ in skype you can set sound output to pulse and fiddle [07:49] hello, can anyone help me with home networking? ive already configured the windows xp pcs and we connect just right. but i do not know how to configure the ubuntu 9.04 clients. [07:50] TheMythMaker: ok, I recuse myself. I'm not qualified to help you with wubi. Best of luck... [07:50] indus: I wish I could just grab my laptop and fly all the way to wherever you are just to get show you exactly what I mean, lol. :) [07:50] indus: actually I might have fixed my problem it was a typo on my part [07:50] <|Ryan> Why isn't the Avant windows navigator the same ones as a I used in Ubuntu 9.04. I'm currently in Ubuntu 8. [07:50] markymark: use network manager to configure ip addressing [07:50] losher: Thanks for trying. [07:50] PsyCl0ne: what do you mean? [07:50] exit [07:50] ActionParsnip, that's the 2 computer monitor icon thing right? [07:51] Omar87: can you someway record that sound and send me the file? [07:51] lsof!:) [07:51] markymark: sure [07:51] indus: That's exactly what I'm thinking. [07:51] TheMythMaker: if it helps, I've had good luck with vmware, and others report good results with virtualbox [07:51] losher: Quick explanation: vmware? virtualbox? [07:51] indus: But how do I get Sound Recoder to record internal sounds? [07:52] markymark: the default, like in windows, is dhcp [07:52] Omar87: just point your mobile phone or mic to speaker and record [07:52] amazing stuff lsof is!! [07:52] indus: Bad solution [07:52] ActionParsnip, hmmm. it does not let me edit things if its in dhcp [07:52] TheMythMaker: they allo you to run a guest system inside an already booted system [07:52] TheMythMaker: emulators which run as a windows application and allow you to install & run ubuntu inside them alongside windows [07:53] TheMythMaker: like a virtual pc, its the way servers are going these days [07:53] !vmware [07:53] VMWare is not available in the Ubuntu repositories. Consider using !QEmu or !VirtualBox as alternatives. Instructions for installing VMWare manually are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware [07:53] !virtualbox [07:53] virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from !Gutsy as 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [07:53] VirtualBox is a perfectly godo free solution [07:53] ActionParsnip, sidequestion: in /etc/networking should the line "iface lo inet loopback" also contain eth0? should it be "iface eth0 inet dhcp" [07:53] see ya guys..

[08:29] zuluu: sorry,dont know much about this [08:29] yes they should be dhcp by default [08:29] zuluu: but yes they are connected,but need to know proper addresses ,scp ssh can be done of course [08:30] arp -a will show other hosts [08:30] on network [08:30] the problem is - when i ping the other pc - it says destination host unreachable [08:31] whats your current ip netmask and gateway [08:31] JohnQ_, arp -a brings me back to prompt [08:31] zuluu: what is your setup? you have a router? switch? computers? wired network?

[08:38] you set it to static and give it no info [08:38] lstarnes, it worked in the live cd [08:39] frodon1: what about other 3d programs? [08:39] strange. because if that is wrong. then why can i connect to the internet and why can the windows xp client connect too? [08:39] frodon1, have you installed the restricted drivers for your video card?

[08:39] zuluu iduno i am working blind [08:39] zuluu: that shouldn't be to difficult.. you can use ifconfig to set it up once.. it will reset when you reboot.. or configure it in the interfaces-file [08:39] frodon1: what graphics card are you using?

Typically on a home network the local ip should be in 192.168.0.x or 192.168.1.x depending on how your router is setup [08:40] the totem mp3 tag have irrecognized code，some one know the reason? [08:40] tecknogyk he isnt using a router so he says [08:40] those are public ips [08:40] frodon1: are those the regular drivers or the restricted drivers?

[08:42] hey can anyone help me install the samsung unified print driver? Im running out the door to an interview and really need to print something [08:42] frodon1: try checking system > administration > hardware drivers [08:42] tecknogyk, i dont think so. no [08:43] zuluu which NIC is connecting to your isp [08:43] my public ip is 58.69.27.103 [08:43] eth0 [08:43] set it to dhcp [08:43] set it to dhcp [08:43] Ah, then the card that is hooked up to your modem (or whatever your internet connection is) needs to be setup dhcp and both your cards are setup static.

[08:47] JohnQ_: no need to repeat that every 2 minutes.. wait at least 10-15 minutes before repeating [08:47] indus: oh haha i thought it had to do w/ my notifications. [08:48] You don't need a dhcp server unless you are going to be serving ip's to devices locally. You need the card that is hooked up to your modem to get an IP from your ISP's dhcp server. You just need to change the line that says "iface ethX inet static" to "iface eth inet dhcp [08:48] FAJ: indicator aplet will show u pidgin and evol mail yes [08:48] k fun police [08:48] FAJ: but that anyways shows in notification area so its pretty useless now [08:48] whichever connection it is. Only you can know that.... [08:48] indus: ah ok so all of that is the same now; so no need for indicator applet? [08:48] can someone pastbin me their /etc/default/sysstat?

[08:58] so whats your main problem [08:58] hi everyone [08:58] that's what i was wondering [08:59] i cant ping the other pc on my network [08:59] ah ok [08:59] ubuntu too [08:59] ahh [08:59] !who [08:59] 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 :) [08:59] zuluu: are your other computers static ip's? [08:59] so your ubuntu box is acting as the router to provide inet access to your windows machine? [08:59] correct? [09:00] correct [09:00] anyone here use Facebook? Is there a trick to getting the Facebook webcam doohicky to work? Flash looks like it loads the app, and it just sits there attempting to load. [09:00] tecknogyk, yes sir [09:00] what the hell [09:00] i dont get it [09:00] ok sec lemme look at ifconfig again [09:00] Slart: Thank you for your unfriendly remark. -- From the output from /help network is missing the semantics. semantics is according to ISO/IEC 11179-1:1999: "the branch of linguistic science which deals with the meaning of words (Webster)." The output does not define what is meant by 'user', 'realname', 'host', 'autosendcmd'. [09:00] what ips did you give the windows box [09:00] why isnt what i see on the demo live cd what i get when i actually install it? [09:00] what the hell? [09:00] hello world [09:00] So, are your static ip's on the ubuntu box setup in the same ip range? [09:01] i tried out the ubuntu netbook remix, and everything worked perfectly so i installed [09:01] glicks: sorry we can't read your mind, want help? [09:01] and then nothing works right [09:01] sound didnt work [09:01] JohnQ_, 192.168.0.3 [09:01] FAJ: FAJ: Sorry about the delay there, it went through one of its inactive-but-still-connected spells... http://pastebin.ca/1463101 [09:01] JohnQ_, btw the other machine is ubuntu [09:01] and then when i toggled to classic desktop mode, when i rebooted, none of the gnome panels show up [09:01] can u ping from windowsxp to router? [09:01] that would be a yup [09:01] oh ok [09:01] tecknogyk, yes sorry [09:01] mrroboto_: do you have any other computers connected to that? [09:01] does anyone know whats going on? [09:02] JohnQ_, i dont have a router [09:02] glicks: I think the livecd does some extra hardware detection which would slow a normal system down. If you have the right modules set to load, it should work [09:02] there aren't any conflicting addy's I'm assuming [09:02] your ubuntu server [09:02] thats acting like a router like we just talked about [09:02] Indeed, both of my room-mates laptops, my desktop, as well as an xbox 360, though only mine one one laptop is connected atm [09:02] lstarnes, ? [09:02] Have you set your gateway's up on the other systems? [09:02] FAJ: Oops, forgot to tag your name >.< [09:02] JohnQ_, tecknogyk, oh shoot - i completely forgot - i changed my nick i am the same guy you chatted with a while ago [09:02] lstarnes, that doesnt make much sense, cause it only has to do the hardware detection once, [09:02] im also markymark [09:02] lstarnes, better a little slow than non functional [09:03] glicks: I'll see if I can figure out what modules you would likely need [09:03] mrroboto_: and yours is the only one acting weirdio? [09:03] didnt notice the nick change - i changed in other channel [09:03] still showing up as zuluu to me [09:03] zuluu ifconfig -a from the 2nd pc [09:03] lstarnes, plus, gnome doesnt even load correctly [09:03] gogo [09:03] bullgard4: you're welcome.. we aim to please.. nick, user, and realname is the corresponding terms used on IRC.. it's not specific for irssi so it isn't explained further in the client help.. autosendcommand is a command that is sent when you connect to a network.. it's the same kind of command you'd write in your irc client.. [09:03] how to install gma950 driver [09:03] JohnQ_, ok [09:03] plz [09:03] glicks: which version of ubuntu are you using? [09:03] also the output of route -n zuluu [09:03] jaunty ubuntu netbook remix [09:04] FAJ: Mmhmm. and that was only after I switched from windows to ubuntu =/ Im sitting across the table from the router and my connection shows 68% [09:04] glicks: which model is your computer? [09:04] mrroboto_: ok well the first thing i would do PERSONALLY is to uninstall network-manager and get wicd.... that solved one of my problems.... is there any encryption [09:04] lstarnes, eee 1000he [09:05] mrroboto_: sudo apt-get install wicd will uninstall network-manager and install wicd [09:05] !package wicd > mrroboto_ [09:05] Sorry, I don't know anything about package wicd [09:05] -.- [09:05] I am installing an ubuntu system, and by default the mount options are relatime. I don-t see how that-s useful in my laptop. Can I go for noatime? I also have separate partitioins for / and /home; should the noatime/relatime choice be diffrent for each?

[09:05] Slart: Thank you. [09:06] ahh! thank you adam7 [09:06] FAJ: np :) [09:06] FAJ: WPA, yes. Will that command work while I'm connected wirelessly or will it dump me before it loads wicd? [09:06] glicks: have you checked the sound mixer? [09:06] when use cp -RL, how to ignore the errors [09:06] bullgard4: basically I think you need to lookup information on IRC to find out what a realname/nick/user and so on is supposed to be.. wikipedia might have info/links to specs.. there might be some information on the irssi site too but I think wikipedia might be more useful [09:06] indus, thanks - worked perfect [09:06] for example, the link is breaked === core is now known as Guest55665 [09:06] mrroboto_: if you remove network-manager while connected, you'll probably dump your conncetion [09:07] JohnQ_, im back, er, like how am i going to show you results if the other pc is not connected... [09:07] yes lstarnes but now i cant check anything anymore because when it boots up it boots into a gnome without panels or menus [09:07] hello [09:07] mrroboto_: unfortunately it will have to dump you off of wifi.... but it will then install wicd, and honestly i have had 99.9999% luck with wicd. same thing happened with me concerning wpa... installed wicd over nm and works charmingly [09:07] dammit why do i have to identify my nick everytime i log into ##C [09:07] JohnQ_, pc2 is at the other room btw [09:07] ok one the other pc set this i will make a pastebin for u [09:07] Jimi_Neutral: you could try configuring your client to handle identification automatically [09:07] I am running ubuntu in a virtual machine ... are there any tools like add and remove programs which will tell me about installed files their size... I am very low on disk space and wanted to freeup some [09:07] thanks for your guidance [09:07] JohnQ_, awesome [09:07] you are editing /etc/network/interfaces [09:07] ?

[09:35] zuluu: the share files should be doable with the places-network, the ip masquerading I have no personal experience on [09:35] what sir [09:35] *gui [09:35] thanks just confirmed the save..what i told is correct. i will edit,save and reboot [09:35] Myrtti, the other pc is not appearing but i can ping it.

[09:36] zuluu: I might be wrong, but IIRC samba server facilities are not installed by default [09:36] Myrtti, only this pc. not the other one - remember its not conencted to the internet [09:36] V1RR do you have a client.config? [09:36] uhuh. [09:37] Can I run the startup manager from a command line? === bithunter_ is now known as bithunter [09:37] Myrtti, this pc has samba and nfs [09:37] i want install screem HTML editor [09:37] emm...where can i look it? [09:37] networking *uhhh* [09:37] Myrtti, but isnt samba for ubuntu and windows [09:37] wicd ftw [09:37] how was your vpn configured before? [09:37] zuluu: er, you wanted to share files with that other computer? then you need a floppy disk or a usb flash stick if it doesn't have network on it :-) [09:37] zuluu: or equivalent [09:37] before i used Windows XP [09:37] Myrtti, hehehe - i can ping it [09:37] adam_: sudo apt-get install screem or use synaptic [09:38] does anyone use dynamic background on ubuntu/kubuntu like this --> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0HzZ4YY3Go [09:38] installed Ubuntu only yesterday [09:38] your VPN must have had config files no? if not i cant help you as you are using a different method. [09:38] digdeep: yes.. it get annoying after a while though [09:38] zuluu: samba is for heterogenious networks, yes. you could try nfs if you don't want to try samba [09:38] *gets [09:38] in my home there no INTERNET , than how i intall screem [09:39] I need to access the startup manager, but I do not have access to a shortcut for it. Any ideas? [09:39] the trouble is some Packages not installed and i can't Add new VPN connection in network [09:39] V1RR u can do it though command line [09:39] as i do [09:39] Myrtti, so you mean to say i have to install samba even on the client? [09:39] adam_: oh.. hmm... I'm not sure if it's available from the default install cd [09:39] how? [09:39] what should i write there? [09:39] zuluu: not necessarily on the client, and nfs could do as well [09:39] did you just enter a login/pass to login to the vpn before? [09:40] adam_: you could download the deb from package.ubuntu.com and put that on a flash drive [09:40] Slart: true :) [09:40] now i should enter IP, login, pass to connect [09:40] standart VPN..) [09:40] adam_: you can even use synaptic to create a download script to automate it [09:40] do you have openvpn installed? [09:41] no [09:41] !ati [09:41] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [09:41] Myrtti, ok do i have to install nfs? [09:41] Myrtti, or is it pre installed [09:41] install it [09:41] digdeep: check the link on the youtube page.. it seems he charges money to download some of those backgrounds.. some are free though [09:41] which file should i edit to force resolution to my monitors?

It writes to me: "Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libnm-glib-vpn0 (>= 0.7.0)" while trying to install [09:42] acutaly iduno what kind of software your VPN provider is using [09:42] i cant really help you [09:42] zuluu: nfs-kernel stuff needs to be installed by yourself. It's not preinstalled as the policy of Ubuntu is to restrict the preinstallation of software that enable/open ports to the network the machine is in [09:42] oh right, [09:42] ok [09:43] how can i install package with this error? [09:43] Myrtti, I will stick with samba then since it is already installed here.

What recent changes have you made? [10:02] termos: Then select the option that loads for .Xsession instead (the second one, I forget the precise wording) and have your .Xsession script load ion. [10:02] which is ubuntu [10:03] UbuntuFanBoy: i just installed [10:03] and it had the workgroup name MSHOME [10:03] it was first login [10:03] JohnQ_: Ah, I see.

You said pings do get a reply? [10:05] ethan_space: so, still the same error.. odd [10:05] yes [10:05] JohnQ_: I just use shorewall, it's a whole lot easier than iptables config. [10:05] termos: You might want to tell dsdeiz how to do it as well, I'm outta here. [10:05] UbuntuFanBoy, the other ubuntu pc is a fresh install [10:05] shorewall is a firewall no? [10:05] afternoon! [10:05] a script that uses iptables on the backend? [10:06] so i have to reinstall windows or is there any other thing i can try ? [10:06] Does Ubuntu have any bugs with the libapache2-mod-mysql? My problem only seems to come up googling in debian based distributions [10:06] ok, got it thanks [10:06] Does anyone know how many USB devices can exist on one system? [10:06] I can't get the module to work and when I tail the error.log it says that the AuthMySqlEnable isn't recognized [10:06] ethan_space: remove ubuntu and reinstalled windows? [10:06] dsdeiz: i selected "Run Xclient script" in GDM, and put whatever i wanted to run in .Xsession and had "ion3" on the last line. you'd probably want to run xmonad though [10:06] oh you got it [10:06] again me :) [10:07] UbuntuFanBoy: any solution? [10:07] first i had windows ,then installed ubuntu on an external h/w ...now unabel to boot windows [10:07] any solution to my problem?

Enter the share name as well as the username and password if you're using them. [10:10] copy error msg [10:10] Thank you !!!

[10:12] oh.. dont unplug it [10:12] actually i have tried both ..uplugged and without unplugging ..hasnt helped [10:12] ethan_space: it needs the external drive connected.. that's where the boot files are.. [10:12] this is definitely an ubuntu bug -- i'm not seeing the entity → although perhaps it's numeric === iw is now known as nzo [10:13] yes the error i get when i keep ext harddrive and try to choose windows is [10:13] UbuntuFanBoy, I will reboot again [10:13] ethan_space: just thought of something.. try running this in a terminal "sudo update-grub" .. then reboot again [10:13] error 13:invalid or unsupported executable format [10:13] xiong, where doesn't it work? [10:13] ok [10:14] cwillu, it DOES work here: http://beyondeuclid.com/wiki/User_talk:Bear [10:14] zuluu: did that not work? specifying the share name often works for me when Network Places doesn't [10:14] cwillu, it DOES NOT work here: http://beyondeuclid.com/w/index.php?title=Talk:Classical_Parabola&action=history [10:15] xiong, probably the font doesn't include it [10:15] ok updated grub i will rebbot and check [10:15] on the second page, the first line of the history shows three funny characters on my screen -- what do you see? [10:15] → <-that, right [10:15] xiong, ? [10:15] i see that as a rarr on xchat, no prob [10:16] and on the first page i linked, also no prob [10:16] xiong, sec, let me play with firebug for a sec [10:16] anyopne?

[10:18] cwillu, so, eg, 144 ?? 72 px -- except that the ?s are non standard reversed out of black diamonds -- placeholders, i guess [10:18] NicEXE: just download the liveCD for your architecture. [10:19] hello people [10:19] xiong, well, strictly speaking it's exactly the standard of what you're supposed to do if a renderer is presented with an unknown entity [10:19] xiong, I can splice → into that page and have it work though, give me another sec :p [10:20] xiong, I'm suspicious that your webserver is changing something out on you [10:20] cwillu, i understand that on some level this is a graceful failure -- but it's still a failure -- do i need to install another font or is the issue deeper? [10:20] FeasibilityStudy: I remember when I tried to boot 8.10 on-the-fly I was getting some errors. [10:21] NicEXE what arch are those Macbooks? Intel, right? [10:21] xiong, what's the difference between those two pages? is it just that one uses the char directly, and the other uses the xml entity? [10:21] intel [10:21] NicEXE google Macbook install ubuntu [10:22] JohnQ_: I already did that but I just can't understand the use of rEFIt [10:22] rEFIt [10:23] ? [10:23] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MactelSupportTeam/AppleIntelInstallation [10:23] cwillu, i'm talking to a guy on #mediawiki about this -- would you please join #codebug [10:23] iduno find a maclover hippie [10:24] gah [10:24] hello there - i am trying to compile KontrollerLab for ubuntu 9.04 64bit and have some dependency problem: finally configure tells me that i need the program "mcopidl", that should be in libarts1-dev, this package has as an dependency libartsc0-dev, which i installed, but its not possible to install libarts1-dev then, because he means still that this dependency is unsolved - can anyone help me out? [10:25] NicEXE [10:25] looks like its for dualbooting [10:26] hey guys [10:26] yes, I want to keep Leopard [10:26] does banshee need an x server to run? [10:26] Install rEFIt first and make sure it is working (you should get a boot chooser on startup…) [10:26] and i cant install libartsc0-dev, because it needs libartsc0 which is insalled [10:26] How can I see the amount of available sharedmemory in ubuntu? [10:27] I know to read the instructions... why rEFIt is needed? [10:27] free -m [10:27] ? [10:27] NicEXE its a boot loader [10:27] keepguessing, define shared memory [10:27] that works with MACOSX [10:28] is my best guess [10:28] shared memory among processes [10:28] used created by IPC [10:28] [10:28] s/by/for [10:28] keepguessing, I don't know that there's a direct manner pre-installed, one sec [10:28] keepguessing: free will show ram usage if you mean that? [10:28] JohnQ_: BootCamp is a bootloader too [10:29] keepguessing: top will show ram / cpu usage for all running apps [10:29] that's already on intel macs [10:29] keepguessing, "top" has a shr colum that is related [10:29] but that doesn't tell you the total [10:29] NicEXE sweet does the readme say to use BootCamp or rEFT w/e [10:30] ActionParsnip, it doesn't have a separate daemon if that's what you mean [10:31] hej, keyboard mapping issue on vnc / ubuntu 9.04, stat [10:32] !google [10:32] google is the helpers' friend; many newer users dont have the google-fu yet; For GNU/Linux: http://google.com/linux [10:32] in case anyone needs help finding the answer for me [10:32] cwillu: bah, ok thanks duder [10:32] LOL [10:33] htop is an improved top [10:33] htop is an awesome top [10:34] the ubuntu installer told me the wrong partition and I just blasted my vista install.............. [10:34] how do i install flash on ubuntu? [10:34] ircnickiuse: depends on the app you are using, maybe there are keyboard settings in the app. You can use x forwarding or ssh if you want a slicker (and securer) way to connect to the remote system [10:34] !flash | glicks [10:34] glicks: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [10:34] !flash > glicks [10:34] glicks, please see my private message [10:34] !help |Oins [10:34] Oins, please see my private message [10:34] asdf becomes -> abfh [10:34] more secure [10:35] I like htop -- and I like gnome-system-monitor too. :) [10:35] bladad, the pithy remark would be to say that's not a bug, it's a feature, but... [10:35] bladad, I don't believe the installer makes suggestions of that nature though: it'll let you blow away an existing partition, but the default is to resize and create a new one [10:36] ircnickiuse: then the keyboard language may be set incorrectly for the remote keyboard on the server side [10:36] Nom-, it is some weird bug "asdf abfh" in google finds it [10:36] ircnickiuse: vnc traffic is completely unencrypted so is not secure, you can connect via an ssh tunnel to add security though [10:37] !vnc [10:37] VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [10:39] Is there any reason that a random USB hub on newegg wouldn't work with Ubuntu? [10:39] I mean, most of them should be plug-and-play, right? [10:39] this shit gave me wrong info [10:39] hi [10:39] it said /dev/sda1 vista [10:39] can anyone help me install falsh, that link doesnt work [10:39] flash [10:40] fucking fuck you people and your fucking shit [10:40] glicks: what seems to be the issue with it? [10:40] thanks slart ...you have made my day..it worked [10:40] brunner: provided it obeys the standard it should work [10:40] glicks: [10:40] fucking cock smooching piece of shit [10:40] fuck you [10:40] ethan_space: ah.. it was the sudo update-grub thing? [10:40] bladad: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:40] you hear me [10:40] glicks: Open up a terminal [10:40] brunner: try it in a different port [10:40] Darael, im tryin to install flash [10:40] !ohmy | bladad [10:40] bladad: Please remember that all Ubuntu IRC channels share the same attitude of providing friendly and polite interaction with all users of all ages and cultures. Basically, this means no foul language and no abuse towards others. [10:40] bladad, the partition names are set by the whoever installed vista [10:40] yes it was [10:40] I am using ATI Radeon Driver Open Source [10:40] ethan_space: sweet.. I'll have to remember that [10:40] yes DFarmer [10:41] glicks: Then type sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [10:41] yeh [10:41] partitions in vista dont have /dev/sda [10:41] glicks: OK, do you want to use the "official" adobe one, or one of the free implementations? [10:41] bladad, if somebody called one partition vista and another one data (or whatever), then the installer can't do anything more than repeat what it reads from the computer [10:41] Darael, the official adobe one [10:41] glicks: That'll install Flash, Java, and loads of other stuff which is really quite useful, but not open source [10:41] I feel the ATI Open source driver is running on 24 bit color depth [10:41] !ohmy | Darael [10:41] Darael: Please remember that all Ubuntu IRC channels share the same attitude of providing friendly and polite interaction with all users of all ages and cultures. Basically, this means no foul language and no abuse towards others. [10:41] bladad: nope.. was there a howto that said it did? [10:41] how to enable 32 bit [10:41] I hate it when people use that bot :/ [10:41] bladad, and if that data was wrong, then you should talk to the person who set it up like that originally [10:41] sleep well everyone [10:41] and 3enabling D [10:41] glicks: then, as DFarmer says, "sudo aptitude install ubuntu-restricted-extras" [10:41] 3D [10:42] the installer gave wrong info PERIOD [10:42] lich0r: say wha? [10:42] DFarmer, it says it couldnt find that package [10:42] bladad, no, it didn't. It reads exactly what the hardware tells it. There's no autodetection going on there [10:42] I feel the ATI Open source driver is running on 24 bit color depth [10:42] so why during the installer it said "/dev/sda1 WINDOWS VISTA" [10:42] how to enable 32bit color depth [10:42] also 3D [10:42] glicks: OK, you need to enable extra repo compoents [10:43] bladad: that was probably the name of the partition [10:43] no [10:43] glicks: go to system->administration->software sources [10:43] glicks: Do what he says, he knows more than me ;) [10:43] bladad, because the first partition on the first drive had the label "windows vista" set on it by whoever made that partition originally [10:43] ive done 3 computers already using this method [10:43] this time [10:43] bug [10:43] piece of shit [10:43] Darael, restricted repo is checked [10:44] bladad: if you just want to shout profanities, this isn't the channel for it [10:44] bladad, calm down or you're going to find yourself not in the channel any more [10:44] calm down? [10:44] glicks: all fou components on the first tab? [10:44] that's right [10:44] bladad: if you want help we might be able to provide that.. but you will have to calm down [10:44] yes Darael [10:44] Hi all [10:44] glicks: strange... [10:44] I got a little further since yesterday... [10:45] maybe i need to upgrade === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [10:45] glicks: OK, we could try updating your package cache before the install... bu first, go to the econd tab and check the partner repositrory if it's there and disabled [10:45] I'm installing from netboot. I got to the 'select and install software' stage, but now the installer seems to have hung on 'Configuring scrollkeeper' === Repentinus is now known as Guest71389 [10:45] Darael, thats disabled [10:46] glicks: try enebling it first. I'm not certain, but it might be needed [10:46] david00: try a reboot and select a different source [10:46] hi.. how can i install emacs? but offline. (which packages should i download and take them on another computer (Jaunty) to install it)? [10:46] supersasho: look into aptoncd === benstOr is now known as benster [10:47] ActionParsnip: All packages are already downloaded, I think - plus this is a netboot - do you mean use a different mirror? [10:47] glicks: when you close the software sources dialog it'll request that you update the package cache - let it do that [10:47] How to Install ATI Properitary Driver on Jaunty ? [10:47] yeah a different mirror, see if its any friendlier, you could also check your ram is healthy [10:47] ActionParsnip: thank you very much :) [10:48] ActionParsnip: thanks [10:48] hello ... [10:49] ActionParsnip: I spoke too soon... It just finished setting up. About 30 minutes to configure scrollkeeper! It is a netbook I guess ;) [10:49] !hi | greenkernel [10:49] greenkernel: Hi!

[10:49] david00: true. just let it play. go out for a bit, when you get back it ill be done [10:50] greenkernel: virtualbox is one way [10:50] glicks: if that's not working, you may want to try installing the package from the "add/remove" section under applications - if there's something preventing it downloading (needing to enable anything, etc) it ought to prompt you [10:50] In Opensource ATI driver, I could see screen flickering on Firefox? How to fix it [10:50] ActionParsnip: cheers [10:50] If I have a choice, I don't want to use third party software .. I just want to boot with GRUB .. [10:51] greenkernel: you will need to resize the ubuntu partitions so you can dualboot [10:51] greenkernel: fyi, Linux is made entirely of 3rd party apps [10:52] (think he meant proprietary :p) [10:52] cwillu: virtualbox-ose ;) [10:53] how could I resize my partition? .. here is my fdisk result : http://pastebin.ca/1463198 [10:53] !resize [10:53] Sorry, I don't know anything about resize [10:53] !dualboot [10:53] Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [10:53] !gparted [10:53] gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program.

[10:57] exco, should Just Work [10:57] Here is my menu.list : http://pastebin.ca/1463201 [10:57] hi, where do you usually install your softwares (when installing manually) ? [10:57] hi [10:57] don't why ppl can't just simply help and not just give me links to help.. [10:57] exco: you could boot to livecd then chroot to the drive. You could also fsck the drive as well as check yor ram using the livecd [10:57] jado, /usr/local/bin [10:57] But, it doesn't work for OpenBSD ... [10:57] cwillu: thanks [10:57] how to install xorg server [10:58] i have this remote server with a ubuntu 8.04 installed, to which i have ssh access, how do i know if its ubuntu server or normal ubuntu ? [10:58] how can i tell ? [10:58] GhostWolf76: often what is asked is long ad complicated. If a resolve in step by step instructions exists online..why not use them? [10:58] GhostWolf76, because 90% of the time that's exactly what you need :p [10:58] HugoDaniel: uname -a [10:58] thx cwillu, ActionParsnip (forgot about chrooting) - I think it is a Problem with the Atom 330 or it's mainboard (since it's fairly new) [10:58] GhostWolf76: it'd be redoing the same work, or copy / pasting from a site which is silly [10:59] one because im barely new with linux/ubuntu and some things just by reading steps give me in [10:59] ActionParsnip: thanks [10:59] how to install xorg server [10:59] plz [10:59] when I try to modprobe ath5k, I allways get the error: Error while inserting lbm_cw_maccfg80211 [10:59] xorg-server [10:59] wtf is going on [10:59] om26er: have you by any chance install ubuntu server and now want a gui? [11:00] no [11:00] om26er, if you installed the server or a bare install, you probably want to sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop, which will get you the server as well as everything else you probably want [11:00] ok, if i can get nmblookup of some but not other network computers, why would this be. [11:00] I have already added the OpenBSD menu in GRUB .. but, when I try to boot OpenBSD, an error came up .. error 13 Invalid or unsupported executable format [11:00] om26er: ok cool, you can run: sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg [11:00] another thing - should / or does it work to just put my hdd (or usb persistent install) in any computer ? or what do I need to get all hardware working again? [11:01] greenkernel: then you need to evaulate the grub options used, make sure they are spot on [11:01] ActionParsnip: also since im using kubuntu and not normal ubuntu most stuff i can't tell if they will work specially when i know im using kde and not gnome [11:01] exco, usb persistent install works differently, so it doesn't really count for this [11:01] I have a bluetooth keyboard which does not work before my ubuntu boots. I have to use ps2 keyboard to inter the bios or choose the correct os to boot. Is this solvable perhaps? [11:01] xproto [11:01] exco, hardware is redetected every boot though [11:01] GhostWolf76: if you want to use gnome apps in kde, or kde apps in gnome they will all work, you will just install a tonne of extra libs so that they will run [11:01] yes .. that is a problem for me .. I don't know how to configure GRUB to boot OpenBSD .. [11:02] xukun, not really unless your bios has legacy usb keyboard support (look for the option in bios settings), and it happens to work with your keyboard [11:02] That's why I'm here .. :-D [11:02] !grub > greenkernel [11:02] greenkernel, please see my private message [11:02] actionparsnip it says latest version is already installed [11:02] Hi. I was wondering if someone could help me install Ubuntu. I have a problem (I think). I'm semi noob :P [11:02] GenericBox, ask away [11:02] om26er: then you are fine, as it says, its already installed [11:02] Hi. [11:02] ActionParsnip: i didn't say i want to im simply stating i don't know if when somethings say gnome i don't know if they will work in kde like i said im a noob on kubuntu/ubuntu/linux all together [11:02] cwillu, thanks m8 [11:03] GhostWolf76: they will work [11:03] cwillu: I'm asking because I have a Karmic test setup on an USB stick (persistent) and on one laptop it runs as expected (the one I installed it with) and on another it runs fine but doesn't detect bluetooth and the right screen resolution [11:03] ActionParsnip: and bascially i'd like just one program that i can install without installing tones of other stuff to make it run [11:03] GhostWolf76: some will need more dependancies than others [11:03] exco, that's just a matter of variation between hardware [11:04] GhostWolf76: if the app needs it, then it needs it. You could find a similar app that uses the libs you have installed already [11:04] GhostWolf76: like instead of gnome users installing amarok which would pull over a tonne of Qt libs they can use banshee [11:04] cwillu: but you said it does get redetected [11:04] ;-) [11:04] ActionParsnip: i don't know what apps works to use a webcam thats my main point im trying to get at [11:04] exco, yes, but if the hardware has glitches, then ... [11:04] GhostWolf76: cheese is a good tester [11:05] !info cheese | GhostWolf76 [11:05] GhostWolf76: cheese (source: cheese): A tool to take pictures and videos from your webcam. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.26.0-0ubuntu1 (jaunty), package size 2742 kB, installed size 5084 kB [11:05] I like cheese [11:05] When I try to install Ubuntu - it won't let me install it dual boot with Windows XP [11:05] cwillu: the hardware is fine - I also have an Ubuntu installation on said laptop where bluetooth works / also the screen resolution is right [11:05] Alternatively, you may set the environment variables XORG_CFLAGS [11:05] and XORG_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. [11:05] See the pkg-config man page for more details [11:05] GenericBox> I have Windows XP, and I want to install it with it [11:05] But on the partition screen it doesn't allow me to resize/edit my Windows partition [11:05] The only option is use it and wipe windows [11:05] hello there [11:05] help [11:05] ActionParsnip: yes but when i read it says its a gnome app if theres something just as easily for kde id rather use that [11:05] ?? [11:05] GenericBox, reboot into windows, and run a disk check [11:06] ok will do [11:06] GenericBox, you'll need to reboot windows twice (cleanly!) and then reboot (cleanly!) into the ubuntu installer [11:06] GhostWolf76: gotcha, not sure tbh. I dont use webcams. could try: apt-cache search webcam [11:06] but i think i just found it i use kopete for my messenger and saw on the link was first posted for me i saw devices in configure [11:06] GenericBox, ubuntu's installer won't touch a windows disk by default if it's been marked as not cleanly shut down [11:06] I have a server running ubuntu server edition, and it worked fine. I got like 10Mb/s from it with filezilla. I had it on dhcp since my ISP provided dynamic IP's. However I have moved now to another place with the same connection speed 100/100 mbit. They don't provide dynamic IP's here though, so I had to change the settings to static and write it in. Now the server works as it used to, except in one part. It is reaaaally realllly slow [11:07] Hi... Ubuntu has frozen again... running memtest now just in case. Are there any logs that could explain the crash? [11:07] Ah ok thanks cwillu, that'd be it I power-button'd it off before I put in the disc [11:07] Hello therr [11:07] * cwillu slaps GenericBox's hand [11:07] don't do that :p [11:07] lol k. like i said. noob [11:08] One thing though [11:08] hello [11:08] exco, same version of ubuntu? and do you know for sure that that laptop didn't need manual configuration to get those working originally? [11:08] If Ubuntu has been powered off (ie, the mains switch) how resilient are ext3/4 partitions to this? [11:09] chazco, they're journalled, in practice there shouldn't be any data corruption (although obviously anything that hadn't been written to disk yet is gone) [11:09] chazco, that being said, a hard shutdown isn't exactly nice to the hardware either [11:09] cwillu - Ah, good to here, thanks :) [11:09] chazco, and whether an application itself handles being killed nicely is another matter [11:09] chazco: ext4 is reportedly unstable with hard power offs. ext3 is ok but it doesnt do the physical drive much good [11:09] so cwillu I just have to reboot into windows then shutdown cleanly once. or reboot windows, shutdown, reboot windows, shutdown, install? [11:09] cwillu - Was unavoidable, Ubuntu totally froze, could switch to terminals or anything [11:09] ActionParsnip, that's old old information :p [11:09] cwillu: you're right it's not the same version - but I'm upgrading as we speak to check - and yes, no manual configuration [11:10] ActionParsnip, ext4's application bug was fixed a while ago [11:10] Hello.. [11:10] cwillu: matches my fileserver than :D [11:10] exco, well, upgrade may not tell you a whole lot, but ya [11:10] ActionParsnip - Ah, well, luckily my data is on ext3... had no choice but to switch off that way though [11:10] GenericBox: just to be sure, reboot to windows, run a disk check, reboot (again into windows), reboot to live CD [11:10] cwillu & ActionParsnip - Thanks :) [11:10] chazco: i'm sticking with ext3, tried and tested [11:10] thanks darael [11:10] GenericBox, you need to boot into windows, run the disk check, the disk check will ask you to reboot so it can scan the disk, and then you need to reboot again into ubuntu [11:11] hi i have a problem with google earth it wont work well i have a intel 945 graphics controler [11:11] ActionParsnip - Yep, all my data partitions are still ext3 (and ext2 for some) :D [11:11] kk will do. will get back to you soon :) [11:11] danierie, 9.04? [11:11] Hello, I'm trying to install Ubuntu 9.04 - 32 bit on Asus G50V, and it's very very slow, and in terminal is running (listing all the time new one) grazy text: hub 1-0:1.0: over-current change on port 6, port numer is chnging between 6 and 2...?? [11:11] chazco, incidently, if that happens again, you can avoid the worst behaviour sometimes [11:12] danierie: have you configured 3d accelleration [11:12] danierie: I can't help you with that, but I suggest you try worldwind or gaia instead, as they're not closed link GE is and are therefore easier for people to support [11:12] cwillu - How? [11:12] chazco, alt-sysrq-s will do a disk sync, which will save you from some harm [11:12] my google earth wont work with ubuntu [11:12] chazco, alt-sysrq-[reisub] (r, then e, then i... a few seconds between each) [11:12] cwillu: I think the resolution might be because it's written to xorg.conf? and could be changed with dpkg-reconfigure ... about why bluetooth isn't working - no idea [11:12] danierie: have you configured 3d accelleration (2nd time asked) [11:12] cwillu - I think it had completely given up though, but will make a note of that for next time :) [11:13] danierie, Medibuntu repository [11:13] sorry well yes its medibuntu and im using 9.04 [11:13] I'm stunned anyways that you can move ubuntu between computers so easily (man what a hassle to install a new mainboard with Windows) [11:13] danierie: Also those things that Darael mentioned are rather light on resources, I also like Marble. [11:13] danierie, works fine for me. [11:13] danierie: last try, have you installed and configured 3D accelleration for your video card? === solid_liq is now known as solid_liqAFK [11:13] exco, no, it's not written to xorg. If it's not working, it's not detecting the monitor properly (which could be if you're running 9.04, as there were some regressions in that department) [11:14] sorry action parsnip i dont know [11:14] danierie, intel on 9.04 has some lingering issues with anything 3d for some people [11:14] exactly [11:14] i only installed ubuntu === solid_liqAFK is now known as solid_liq === solid_liq is now known as solid_liqAFK [11:14] but not any extra acceleration for my graphical device [11:14] vigo: oooh, thanks for reminding me about Marble... [11:14] ok === solid_liqAFK is now known as SolidLiq [11:15] so i have to wait until the new 9.1 or 10? [11:15] danierie: then thats why you are having issues. you need to configure your card as GE needs 3D [11:15] danierie, actually, I guess I should have checked, do you know what kind of video card you have? [11:15] danierie: no, you need to get your card setup [11:15] yes intel 945 [11:15] intel, okay [11:15] ok great [11:15] NETWORKING-Do Ubuntu and windows connect to the Internet different? My problem being that when I connect to a particular wireless network with my windows (Vista) partition, the I'm able to send and receive information just fine, but when I connect to the network in my ubuntu partition using the same information, there is nothing received. Ideas? suggestions? [11:15] ActionParsnip, intel doesn't need any 3d setup, unless you're talking about enabling uxa, which we're not going to be recommending here :p [11:15] cwillu: well the USB installation is a Karmic test setup, but I'll see if there's a change to bt/screen as it progresses [11:16] danierie: do other 3d apps work [11:16] danierie, easiest thing to do is probably to just reinstall with 8.10 instead for now. 9.10 should have these problems fixed, but that's a few months away yet [11:16] and how shall i configure my card? [11:16] yes compiz [11:16] works [11:16] ok thats good [11:16] danierie: does GE work if you disable compiz? [11:17] i tried with metacity but then there are bigger problems i think [11:17] internet is very slow in ubuntu 9.04 [11:17] danierie: ok, so what happens when you actually use GE? [11:17] NETWORKING-Do Ubuntu and windows connect to the Internet different? My problem being that when I connect to a particular wireless network with my windows (Vista) partition, the I'm able to send and receive information just fine, but when I connect to the network in my ubuntu partition using the same information, there is nothing received. Ideas? suggestions? [11:17] in comparison to windows [11:18] jmap82, send/receive information using what? [11:18] ok my check disc is saying it needs to recover lost files [11:18] should i be worried? [11:18] I have a server running ubuntu server edition, and it worked fine. I got like 10Mb/s from it with filezilla. I had it on dhcp since my ISP provided dynamic IP's. [11:18] GenericBox: a little [11:18] GenericBox, not terribly [11:18] However I have moved now to another place with the same connection speed 100/100 mbit. They don't provide dynamic IP's here though, so I had to change the [11:18] settings to static and write it in. Now the server works as it used to, except in one part. It is reaaaally realllly slow on some features. I host a homepage [11:18] * cwillu huggles ActionParsnip [11:18] zagabar: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [11:18] there, and it is as fast as usual, but the SMF forum I host is slooow as hell. Like 40 sec load time per page. The ftp is barely usable. The directory listing [11:18] if i've activated compiz the globe blinks [11:18] * ActionParsnip yays at cwillu :D [11:19] is blink a word sorry not the best woith english [11:19] ya [11:19] @cwillu: anything, if tried ping tests, mozilla, pidgin... anything that uses the internet works fine in windows but not in ubuntu, but only on that particular network [11:19] rew [11:19] internet is very slow in ubuntu 9.04 i tried this link but it does not work for me http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/debian-linux-help/55412-slow-internet-ubuntu.html [11:19] danierie: try running it from a terminal, you should get intelligent outputs [11:19] jmap82, is there anything special about that network that you know of? [11:20] actionparsnip: do you mean as a root? [11:20] jmap82, wireless you said? It does actually connect in ubuntu, right? [11:20] (i.e., the strength bars show up in the applet) [11:20] i have an ubuntu server 7.10, how do i upgrade it ? [11:20] hello [11:20] (since its no longer supported) [11:20] danierie: no, as you. just type googleearth in a terminal and press enter [11:20] help to print fro ubuntu to windows printer [11:21] ok thx i'll try right now [11:21] danierie: not all terminal commands need sudo etc. you WILL break your system if you use it too zealously [11:21] HugoDaniel, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [11:21] yeah i know [11:22] someone who can successfully installed 'haofang' , [11:22] !info haofang [11:22] Package haofang does not exist in jaunty [11:22] internet is very slow in ubuntu 9.04 i tried this link but it does not work for me http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/debian-linux-help/55412-slow-internet-ubuntu.html sorry for posting again [11:22] Nasa Worldwind is also great, and Earth3d works well, http://directory.fsf.org/project/Earth3D/ [11:23] i've tried it with metacity and compiz but still the same probs:8 [11:23] cwillu, not that I can tell... it doesn't have security enabled, and ubuntu shows that the connection is made. the only thing I noticed in my numerous trips between my windows "Network Connections" properties and my Ubuntu "Network Manager" properties was a IPv6 field that was filled in on Windows, but I assumed that was automatically generated since I didn't input it... and even when I tried to copy it over to Ubuntu Network Manager, I d [11:24] danierie: can you pastebin the output of the command please [11:24] !paste | danierie [11:24] danierie: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/index.php?page=add | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic [11:24] jmap82, can you ping the gateway that's listed? [11:25] hey [11:25] jmap82: Did you look at the IPv4-IPv6 tunnel , is like a drop down package as a workaround. [11:26] cwillu, I can't say I tried that at the time, and I'm not at that site now, so I can't test it... sorry.... [11:26] ok im back to the partition screen [11:26] GenericBox, should Just Work now ;p [11:27] hey [11:27] vigo, no, I was hoping there was just something I could do in plan old IPv4 since I really didn't believe that the IPv6 thing was the issue, but if the problem persist, I'll check it out [11:27] cwillu: well on my perstistent USB installation the screen resolution is 800x600 whereas on my native installation the resolution is 1024x600 - also no bt/working bt [11:28] jmap82: Ok, was just a fleeting thought and possible resolution. [11:29] vigo, I appreciate it [11:29] how do i access the network-manager, if i lon in with a fluxbox session ? [11:29] log in* [11:29] hmm [11:29] cwillu & vigo, thanks for thinking about it with me... I'll ask again sometime when I can actually run tests at the site.... [11:30] hey the bluetooth in my laptop isnt working after i installed linux ubuntu but before it i was having windows vista [11:30] and it was working fine [11:30] i need help [11:30] plzz [11:31] hello. I have ubuntu hardy but I want to install a package released only for ubuntu intrepid (ghc 6.10). Can I add the source in synaptic to intrepid and install? [11:31] kabboo: simple if hardware still working then u need to install either a interface library + programs and / or drivers [11:31] !bluetooth [11:31] For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup [11:32] hmm [11:32] enriq: 804.2? [11:32] joł [11:32] ok thx rikki and ubottu [11:33] can anyone point to documentation regarding upgrading ubuntu server 7.10 to 8.04lts ? (the 7.10 is no longer supported... the repositories seem down) [11:33] :( [11:33] jooooooł [11:33] vigo: yes [11:33] HugoDaniel, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [11:33] o kurwa [11:33] down [11:33] HugoDaniel, don't make me say it again :) [11:33] fak [11:33] actionparsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/197592/ [11:33] fuck [11:34] hi [11:34] * cwillu pokes bazhang [11:35] actionparsnip: did i do it right? [11:35] enriq: Might take some doing, but it should work, I would look at the Official Docs and then Forums and stuff to see if it is a kernel thing. Still should work with a simple update/upgrade sources and such. [11:35] I cannot see one of my partitions in the file browser. Can anyone walk me through recovering these files? [11:36] What do I need to consider when resizing my windows partition? [11:36] actionparsnip: are you still online? [11:36] timothy, are you sure the partitions are mounted? [11:36] <_kety> hi === Jufis_ is now known as Jufis [11:37] Spike1506: no [11:37] GenericBox, how recently you've made backups of things you can't bare to lose mostly. You can always resize again later, although it gets time consuming [11:37] HugoDaniel: you may want to have a look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1151960 [11:37] timothy, open up a terminal and type: mount [11:37] Spike1506: but i am 90% certain its corrupt [11:37] <_kety> www.moneypenet.piczo.com [11:37] timothy, check if they are mounted, if not mount them. [11:37] GenericBox, 50/50 split for now is safe [11:37] ok thanks [11:37] should i just use the slider and hit next, or select manual and do it that way? [11:38] GenericBox, by default, ubuntu can read windows files, but there's no really good way for windows to read ubuntu's files [11:38] just use the slider [11:38] timothy, use fsck if you think they are corrupt [11:38] Hi... a few days ago totem started giving segmentation faults. Couldnt find a fix so I reinstalled Ubuntu today. About 10 minutes after reinstall the system froze. I've checked the logs and they just stop. Memtest finds no problems. Any ideas? [11:38] timothy, was it a windows partition? [11:38] ok thanks [11:38] GenericBox: Most Windows installs have a Recovery Partition, be careful on that one, Like C is win, and D is recovery, new part would be fghi or J or whatever. Just make a good backup , always make a backup. [11:39] timothy, if so, then boot into windows and get it to do a scan disk. If you don't have the windows install anymore, you can force the issue, but it's not the best option [11:39] GenericBox: how comfortable are you with fiddling with your partitions? if the answer's "not bery", use the slider. OTOH, if you want a separate /home partition (a good idea), you might as well do it now [11:39] vigo thanks, i´ll try meanwhile [11:39] chazco: how's the cooling of the computer? [11:39] separate home partitions are overrated :p [11:39] yeah darael I am 'not bery' lol [11:39] GenericBox: I mean "not very" rather than "not bery"! I can't type today. [11:39] Slart - It should be okay, and the room its in is freezing today... [11:39] how is the open source ati driver doing? [11:40] Spike1506: i always have trouble figuring out which one it is. http://paste.ubuntu.com/197598/ Its a sata drive. I have 2 sata drives in my comp. One is NTFS but thats a data drive, no install on it. No windows installs. Just one ubuntu and one kubuntu. Its a mess [11:40] Darael, unless you're in the habit of running big iron hardware, multiple unix'ish operating systems, or similar, a separate home doesn't really buy you much beyond making backups a little more complicated [11:41] cwillu: I dunno, it was a real lifesaver when I had a corrupt root partition (don't ask) [11:41] timothy, sata drives usually are: /dev/sd* [11:41] enriq: I am running Hardy on gNewSense, and another part on this box, most all the stuff that is in Jaunty works in or on Hardy. [11:41] actionparsnip: still there? [11:41] chazco: well.. memory and overheating are the two most common guesses..can you run other things than totem? [11:41] timothy, use gparted to see your partition scheme [11:41] Slart - I could before. The reinstall was to fix totem, and it seemed okay till this happened [11:41] i want to run a curses based interactive script at start-up in text mode. I have already disabled X at start-up and added the script at start-up, but it does not run. If I start gdm and run it in a console it works. Any ideas? [11:41] timothy, you don't have a windows install available anymore you said? [11:42] "Write previous changes to disk and continue" Before you can select a new partition size, any previous changes have to be written to disk. You cannot undo this operation. Please not that the resize operation may take a long time. [Go Back] [Continue]? [11:42] vigo: hehe, me too, gns :) [11:42] GenericBox: yup, you want to contiue [11:42] Darael, no, the nightly backups you have in your /etc/cron.daily going to an external usb harddrive that you bought for 80 bucks is the life saver [11:42] k thx its going [11:42] chazco: hmm.. might just be a totem thing then.. have you tried using any other media players? vlc or such? [11:42] cwillu: i never had a windows install on this machine, just an ntfs drive [11:42] cwillu: fair point [11:42] Slart - Totem worked after the reinstall [11:42] timothy, how'd that happen? :) [11:43] timothy, one sec, looking up the package you need [11:43] chazco: ok.. sounds like bit rot then.. =) [11:43] cwillu: i had enough of windows [11:43] System Shock 2 on Linux = wow... [11:44] timothy, second drive or single drive with two partitions? [11:44] Spike1506: so sda1 is my data drive. sda2,5,6 probably pertain to a Kubuntu install that was accidental. I dont think i see anything else. [11:44] sd(a|b|c) etc. refer to a drive [11:44] timothy, pastebin the output of ls /dev/sd* [11:44] the numbers refer to a partition [11:45] Spike1506: should i assume that my comp is not recognizing one of my drives? [11:46] timothy, try cwillu's answer [11:46] hello folks [11:46] hi [11:47] is it normal for it to still be at 0%? [11:47] GenericBox, the resize? yes [11:47] there's no intermediate progress unfortunately :( [11:47] cwillu: Spike1506: http://paste.ubuntu.com/197603/ [11:47] depending on the size and how full it was, it may takes a few hours [11:48] It was only 27 GB full [11:48] +windows [11:48] so, it'll probably be an hour or two :p [11:48] just be patient GenericBox [11:48] ill just have to learn some patience then :) [11:49] timothy, it recognizes 5 drives? [11:49] timothy, and only one with any partitions... [11:49] Spike1506: cwilu: yea, weird, i know, but i only have 2 [11:50] timothy, sudo apt-get install pastebinit, and then run dmesg | pastebinit [11:50] timothy, and type "cw" in here to type my full name out :p [11:50] hello [11:50] Darael, thanks :D [11:51] oh, he's gone [11:51] timothy, this is on a livecd? [11:52] cwillu: sorry about that [11:52] np [11:52] cwillu: yes, this is a livecd [11:52] cwillu: package not found [11:52] yep [11:52] because it's a live cd :p [11:53] i stillt have problems with google earth... [11:53] how do i open .daa files? :) [11:53] wers, google for daa ubuntu :p [11:53] first hit: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2007/12/05/how-to-open-and-extract-daa-image-files/ :) [11:53] (I've had this conversation before :p) [11:54] timothy, both drives are internal? [11:54] cwillu, timothy: wouldn't a sudo apt-get update fix that? [11:54] the pastebinit package not being found, that is [11:55] rww, yes, but the livecd also makes the dmesg output uninteresting for what I was interested in :p [11:55] cwillu: yes, and identical in size and everything [11:55] when there will be ubuntu 9.10 or 10? [11:55] danierie: October, hence the .10 [11:55] danierie: in month 10 [11:55] danierie, 9.10 == 2009, 10th month [11:55] danierie, if you're not too invested in your current install, I'd honestly recommend reinstalling with 8.10 for now [11:56] you can always upgrade when 9.10 comes out, and it'll probably fix your intel video problems [11:56] what is so big in 9.10 [11:56] ok and this pre version of 9.10? [11:56] Tikur, nothing yet [11:56] ok i went off to watch tv and now the screen is black. [11:56] danierie, no, you're running 9.04 (which just means 'the ubuntu release of april 2009) [11:56] !karmic | Tikur [11:57] Tikur: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [11:57] i want to run a curses based interactive script at start-up in text mode. I have already disabled X at start-up and added the script at start-up, but it does not run. If I start gdm and run it in a console it works. Any ideas? [11:57] GenericBox: try moving the mouse or pressing a safe key.. shift or something [11:57] danierie, but 9.04 has some known issues with intel video cards which is unfortunate [11:57] really is it the copy of 8.04 [11:57] yes but is there a preversion? [11:57] lol im such a noob. thanks slart [11:57] Tikur, wha? no [11:57] Ok nothing big, though there are minor changes? [11:57] timothy, here's a question :) [11:57] timothy, how do you know the drive is corrupted? [11:58] I just installed 9.10 and it is all the same. [11:58] (i.e., _why_ do you know the drive is corrupted) [11:58] Hi [11:58] Tikur, you haven't installed 9.10 [11:58] what? [11:58] Tikur, 9.10 doesn't exist yet, except as an alpha that is extremely unstable and in flux [11:58] What is the 'Migrate Documents and settings' for? [11:58] k [11:58] also ati drivers wont work with 9.10 [11:58] When I used LiveCD I could still access the files from windows anyway? [11:58] 9.04 [11:58] is there a ubuntu server chat room? [11:58] is this channel for the u.s. or great uk? [11:58] Can I not do that now? [11:58] GenericBox: I think it's for moving over files and stuff from an old install [11:59] Tikur, but any two releases are going to be similar in the broad strokes [11:59] stapel: I Think there is a #ubuntu-server channel..try it [11:59] or for everyone who speaks english [11:59] cwillu: okay, long story short, i was out of the country when this happened. When i came back, i ran a kubuntu live cd. I was able to see the drive and all its file but not open any of them. From that point on, i wasnt even able to see the drive. [11:59] danierie, the latter [11:59] Slart: Yeah but do I need to? When I used LiveCD it didn't matter I could still access Windows stuff [11:59] and from where do most people come? [11:59] vigo: it worked [11:59] cwillu, where can i find a very stable and old linux? [11:59] Australia - G'day [12:00] cool :) [12:00] danierie, everywhere but mars [12:00] Tikur, 8.04 is the long term supported release (6.06 was the previous one) [12:00] so where you from? [12:00] GenericBox: nope.. I don't think you need to.. unless you're installing ubuntu instead of windows.. ie killing your windows install [12:00] Tikur, 8.04 is a good one though :) [12:00] G'day? We say "G'day" down here? Wow... [12:00] enriq: That is what makes my day a good one. [12:00] I have a fresh install of Jaunty. I have a vertical monitor, which when I first started, I could rotate the screen. When I set it the first time, it asked me if I wanted to save the settings (Reccommended) which I did. Now after the Ubuntu bootsplash it locks on a black screen, and even if it does go past that the only options in the display dialog now is normal and upside down. How can I... [12:00] ...set my screen to show and be rotated to the left? === segin is now known as ultrabrakerfanse [12:00] timothy, I don't see any real evidence of there being more than one drive in the system === ultrabrakerfanse is now known as segin [12:00] i like this channel :D [12:01] (aside from the spurious entries for 5 drives in /dev) [12:01] Says the yank :P [12:01] Thank you, cwillu [12:01] im no yank im german [12:01] timothy, does the system boot on its own right now? [12:01] cwillu: alright, ill try some bios stuff [12:01] danierie, talking about yankdownunder ;) [12:01] ok :D [12:01] danierie, not to be rude, but the general chitchat goes better in #ubuntu-offtopic :p [12:01] cu all :D [12:01] * YankDownUnder looks around sheepishly [12:02] cwillu: no, the system attempts to boot of the ntfs drive right now, which again has no install on it, so i just get a black screen with the type thing flashing. [12:02] Can I import/migrate documents and settings at a later time? Or only now during install? [12:02] cwillu: ill see if bios recognizes it [12:02] cwillu: thanks for all your help [12:03] GenericBox, only really during the install, although there's not a whole lot in the way of settings to be imported [12:03] GenericBox, you can always copy stuff over by hand [12:03] cwillu, ok - im just worried about duplicating what i dont need. Are the settings important? Because I can still access them anyway right? [12:03] *the files i mean [12:04] GenericBox, duplication really isn't a huge deal from a space perspective. I mean, the most wasteful duplication of configuration settings and documents and so forth still wouldn't fill a 10gb drive, let alone the 150gb - 500gb drive you probably have :) [12:05] Looking for kompare equivalence for gtk or gnome.

Now it won't.. how do I fix this? [12:08] DFarmer, I don't know a whole lot about what might have gone wrong, but from a terminal try running xrandr --orientation left (or right, inverted, normal) [12:08] in the keybord printscreen is not working! [12:08] cwillu: Okay, I'll give that a shot. Thanks :) [12:09] vigo, dupe?? [12:09] cwillu: It's just fixed itself o_O Well, that was weird. Thanks anyway :D [12:09] I have MacBook 4.1 and MacOSX with WindowsXP installed already, I would like to install Ubuntu and delete the MacOSX, I have read installation guides, but they do not cover such option, any help please? [12:10] hareldvd, I don't know of a gnome one off-hand, although kompare will work fine under gnome [12:10] * cwillu just uses terminals these days :p [12:10] hareldvd: Still looking, I am forgot most of the KDE stuff. Are you looking for Duplicate Files or Packages? [12:10] hareldvd, mgdiff may be useful, haven't looked at it [12:10] or tkdiff [12:11] cwillu, Any KDE application started on none KDE desktop will start launching the entire KDE environment and many processes will not terminate once the app is finished. [12:12] vigo, No. A files comparison app. it used to be called kdiff and then k3diff. [12:13] hareldvd: Oh, ok, I use to know the dh_ command for that, let me look it up to be certain. [12:14] mgdiff seems reasonable. Hope it works similar to kompare. [12:14] is it possible to install the latest ati 9.6 drivers on ubuntu 9.04 without compiling them?

I can choose a kernel revision (--revision=386), which one I need to choose? I'm currently running 9.04 64 bits using a core 2 duo. Thanks [12:27] i guess having an ati card ubuntu is just more of a hassle these days then anything [12:27] cwillu, Thanks for the --suicide option. Is there an option that reduces the KDE overhead when an app starts? [12:27] hareldvd, that's basically what kdeinit4 is for in the first place [12:28] the lateest kernel update is abaliable in the ubuntu site [12:28] cwillu, no kde4. Guess I have kde 3.5 [12:28] kdeinit then :p [12:28] same options [12:28] you can upgrade to kde 4 [12:28] hareldvd, granted that kded is not the entire kde environment, but rather something more like gconf. Honestly, I wouldn't be too worried about them sticking around, if they're truly idle, they'll get paged out soon anyway [12:29] abdullah, Didn't find it appealing yet. [12:29] abdullah: how to upgrade ? [12:29] abdullah: can you give the address to upgrade kernel? [12:29] cwillu: any idea why my system would be slow as snot and basically not respond when I try to open display under system->preferences? [12:30] lol stupid question [12:30] but its not letting me log in [12:30] cwillu, They smear around with error messages. Especially if started from terminal. [12:30] its all installed. so thanks for everyones help [12:30] alinon, not really :/ [12:30] but how do i get past this login screen now [12:30] abdullah: what's the command to upgrade? [12:30] hareldvd, most apps do that :p [12:30] ggg go to the upuntu page www.ubuntu.com and fine the kde4 upgrade program or upgrade to ubuntu 9.04 or take the important updates from update manager [12:31] GenericBox, do you remember the username and password you set during the install? [12:31] cwillu: is there a command i can run to see if i'm already using cat 9.6? [12:31] I thought I did [12:31] but its not working [12:31] I mean I just typed in my name [12:31] for all the questions [12:31] GenericBox, if not, you can reset the password by booting into the recovery console and running passwd [12:32] alinon, I haven't had the displeasure of using a card that required fglrx in a long long time [12:32] ddd did you upgrade to kde 4 [12:32] How do I get the recovery console cwillu? [12:32] alinon, the driver manager should tell you the version you have though [12:32] abdullah: nothing here http://www.ubuntu.com/ [12:32] GenericBox, reboot, and hit escape at the grub prompt [12:32] how do I sudo respect my path? sudo -E won´t work... I also tried removing env_reset from sudoers [12:32] abdullah: are you using kubuntu? [12:32] cwillu, unless the --suicide option, KDE apps continue to send error messages after they are terminated. [12:32] abdullah: what's the kernel version of yours? [12:33] enriq, if you need a custom binary to be available to sudo (or really, all users), put it in /usr/local/bin [12:33] is there a way to find out the username lol? or reset that to administrator or something? [12:33] how do i scan for keystrokes in a script? [12:33] when starting ubuntu press esc and type recovery mode [12:33] GenericBox: the recovery console [12:33] enriq, putting a binary to be executed by root in a place that's writable as an unprivileged user (i.e., your account) is dangerous [12:33] ah lol nvm people thanks for help but i got it [12:33] GenericBox, ls /home/ will show a list [12:33] apparently you can't use capitals [12:33] okay :p [12:33] GenericBox: the command removeuser removes the user and adduser adds a user [12:33] cwillu: ok [12:34] So... are there any recommended downloads I should get? [12:34] abdullah: what's the kernel version of yours?? [12:34] GenericBox: And be very careful about running as /root. [12:34] abdullah: are you using kubuntu or ubuntu? [12:35] cwillu, Would it make sense to use also the --no-kded with kdeinit? [12:35] vigo thanks but its ok it was my name, but I was using 'Name', not 'name' [12:35] apparently it didnt like that [12:35] abdullah: no latest kernel here http://www.ubuntu.com/ , [12:35] hareldvd, if you're concerned, sure :p [12:35] s [12:36] GenericBox: It works, and that is the object. now you are free to learn. [12:36] cwillu, Thanks. [12:36] vigo: Yes. Its so much sexier than windows. Now I'll have to play around with it. Are there any downloads I 'need' or 'should' get?

[12:43] chinmaya: its deleted [12:44] shadeslayer, no, I just read what he said when I told him to go to the exact same place :; [12:44] :p [12:44] oh... [12:44] so ppl.... [12:44] btw am using a UNR [12:44] DEViUS, normally when the lid is closed, the backlight is turned off by hardware (i.e., the os can detect that it's closed, but it's not responsible for the backlight itself) [12:44] DEViUS, which makes me suspect a hardware fault in the switch [12:44] chinmaya: see cwillu coment above a few lines [12:45] DEViUS: sudo apt-get install gnome-power-manager;gnome-power-manager [12:45] when i try to play video on facebook, i get following error: Flash Player upgrade required!

[12:46] indus: dpkg searches for packages in /var/cache , apt-get downloads [12:46] indus, dpkg -i just installs that one package [12:47] indus: + and installs the package [12:47] cwillu: aah it does check for dependencies but doesnt download them [12:47] shadeslayer: cwillu: i always thought this was a good question to ask ;) [12:47] Hi. I'm currently trying to build the latest kernel in 9.04. At one place, I am tell that I can change the kernel revision : Note: You can replace "386" with anything you want. Like "k7" or "686.". I was wondering what to use at this place. I'm currently running the 64 bits version with a Core2Duo. [12:48] hi, i have a strange problem, i started my pc I found English language is lost !! and my keyboard is only writing Arabic, can't switch the language, even in run level 1, do u have any idea? [12:48] hello all [12:48] Phil_26, just an fyi, there are mainline kernel builds already available [12:48] shadeslayer: cwillu:also ,after gdebi installs it,it does list in synaptic later,so does that mean if i uninstall from synaptic,it will remove dependencies also? [12:48] Phil_26, http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ [12:48] tough question ? [12:48] indus: yep [12:48] :D [12:48] indus, not generally, although there are options to clean up unused dependencies [12:49] ive added nm-applet & to my fluxbox startup, and it connects fine, but hteres no icon on the panel, what am i doing wrong? [12:49] chinmaya: here and other places: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/tools.html#quinn-diff [12:49] apt-get clean? [12:49] no, that's something else ;p [12:49] indus: no... sudo apt-get install deborphan; sudo apt-get --purge remove `deborphan` [12:49] indus: or the janitor thingy in 9.04 [12:49] indus, (and shadeslayer) sudo apt-get autoremove [12:50] --purge is something else again :p [12:50] cwillu: shadeslayer:i think shadeslayer is right here. deborphan removes teh debs we install with gdebi? [12:50] indus, (and shadeslayer) clean (and autoclean) are just about deleting the deb files themselves, not related to the installed files [12:50] To resize partitions, they need to be unmounted, right? Can you safely unmount them while logged in, or do I need to get a gparted live cd or something? [12:50] cwillu: i think ill use janitor :P [12:51] shadeslayer; hardware fault is not suspected cause 1) its new 2) it works under windows [12:51] indus, open a terminal, type "man apt-get" and then "/autoremove" and be enlightened :p [12:51] DEViUS: ?? [12:51] shadeslayer; and gnomepower manager is installed [12:51] shadeslayer; what ?? [12:51] sivel, does it start up ok when invoked from the terminal? [12:51] DEViUS: oh..do you see a batteru icon in the top panel? [12:51] can i have two difernet version of graphic card drivers on two diferent kernels, i dont wana compile drivers every time when i boot up into other kernel [12:51] shadeslayer; yes [12:51] yes it does [12:52] indus, (and shadeslayer) --purge is for removing the residual config files (i.e., stuff in /etc), and is unrelated to dependencies [12:52] DEViUS: then right click on it and set everything according to your prefrences [12:52] shadeslayer; i did and it still no working [12:52] shadeslayer; :P [12:52] sivel, there might be something wrong with it when invoked from the startup script then .. what I would do is log the startup script and have a look there [12:53] how do i do that? [12:53] DEViUS, you're not running an alpha of 9.10 by any chance are you? [12:53] DEViUS: strange...how about sudo apt-get install kpowermanager;kpowermanager [12:54] sivel, at the top of the script, put this line in exec > /tmp/startup.log 2>&1 [12:54] is there any way to configure gvfs NOT to show dot files? the gtk2 file selector suddenly decided to show all dot files, which is rather annoying. [12:54] Q-FUNK, hit ctrl-h [12:54] sivel, log out and log back in .. when done, have a look in /tmp/startup.log [12:54] or right click and deselect show hidden files [12:54] Hello [12:54] okay, doing it now thanks [12:54] cwillu: that did the trick. thanks! is this documented anywhere? [12:55] Can I install ubuntu onto a logical volume? The hard disk is full, the logical volume in question has been extended to cover the entire disk. [12:55] Q-FUNK, probably :p [12:55] ;) [12:56] stuckey, yes, linux doesn't mind what type of partition it is installed on [12:56] how to get nick in bold [12:56] unop: So what do I select when I'm in the partition editor? [12:56] unop: what do u mean? it does mind [12:56] stuckey, this partition in question [12:56] or maybe i got the question wrong [12:56] DEViUS, open a terminal, run acpi_listen, and then close and reopen the lid [12:57] unop: But won't that overwrite what's already on it??? [12:57] indus: just use tab complete,you automatically get highlightrd [12:57] *highlighted [12:57] indus: [12:57] stuckey, it will indeed [12:57] !tab | indus [12:57] indus: You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [12:57] hmm? [12:57] unop: see, I don't want to do that. I want to keep what's on the logical volume [12:57] stuckey, yes it will. The installer has another option though, to resize the existing partition to make room [12:57] indus: now? [12:57] ya i dont get it [12:57] cwillu: Will that work without destroying data? [12:57] stuckey, "installing to a logical partition" doesn't mean "install to a file inside that partiton" [12:57] stuckey, you'll need to make a new partition then .. resize one so you have enough free space [12:57] anyone running Ubuntu on one of the later MacBook Pro's that can tell me if temperature is still an issue? [12:57] stuckey, yes, although a power failure during that process is fatal [12:58] cwillu: So it's safe unless I have a power failure?

[13:23] because I think I have it on 830+ mb, that makes my whole linux distro storage around 830mb, would that potentially form problems like taking me 5 hours to install a graphix driver and troubleshoot flash ??

I solved the problem by setting up cpu scaling to underclock it by about 50%. Problem is, I decided to re-install without considering that the install CD doesn't underclock; so it crashed shortly after formatting my FS. So... is there any way for me to pass some boot param or something to tell it to underclock my CPU from t [14:03] Is there a way to check if an object is managed by my EntityManager?

[14:04] note that i adjusted a setting in my bios that seemed to underclock the cpu to 800MHz -- at least, before i changed that setting, the thing would crash within a couple of minutes of sitting in bios config. Bug when the ubuntu installer tries to start with this setting changed, it gets a kernel panic regarding cpufreq [14:04] i am using feisty but reluctant to switch to hardy...is there any source list which i still can use? === chaky_ is now known as chaky [14:04] longthen: thanks anyway for help, but right now I'm off to eat some delicious pancakes, or else I'll go pancakes myself :P [14:04] I'm trying to install ubuntu-restricted-extras, but apt-get keeps failing and telling me it cannot resolve gb.archive.ubuntu.com.

[14:05] mib, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [14:05] erieslabnx: hmm.. that doesn't scream network to me..sure thats the one? [14:05] soloman: i don't think there is such a feature, only thing you might be able todo is underclock your chip in your bios if your bios allows this. === ubun00b is now known as ubun00b^nom [14:05] mib: not really. I've never really found a good page to explain it.. sorry.. [14:05] because my hard disk is limited and i have to use feisty. [14:05] davro: i believe i got it uc'd in my bios, but that seems to piss off cpufreq [14:05] adriannome: if you have the windows iso you can create maybe [14:06] mib: but you can go there with a browser and look at the files [14:06] the link just now? [14:06] adriannome: naah i dont think its possible [14:06] mib: why not just use the !minimal version ... only add the stuff you really need [14:06] adriannome: any other questions i could maybe solve [14:06] davro: i tried CPUFREQ=off in grub after googling about it but it still gave the same error [14:06] !minimal | mib [14:06] mib: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD).

[14:08] indus: i think so. hope it will work. [14:08] hello people, little question because of the ubuntu I installed on a Toshiba laptop of a friend of mine, been following the http://taufanlubis.wordpress.com/2007/11/26/fix-no-sound-for-ubuntu-in-toshiba-satellite-a205-s4707/ but I get an err when trying to /usr/src/alsa$ sudo cp /…your_alsa_location.../alsa-* [14:08] indus: i just wont install windows on my primarry desktop. [14:09] adriannome:well,sure it will.Its like running windows virtually, [14:09] for the minimal cd, since im using feisty, shouldnt i get feisty version? [14:09] I'm trying to install ubuntu-restricted-extras, but apt-get keeps failing and telling me it cannot resolve gb.archive.ubuntu.com. How do I fix this? [14:09] DFarmer: try another server [14:09] vigo:ahhh - thought you were playing with my nick. Many thanks! [14:09] please somebody help me :) [14:09] mib: I was talking about a reinstall [14:09] i`m suprised ubuntu doesnt show anything more than windows network in the "network place". why no nfs? [14:09] mib: since you said you were short on disc space [14:10] brendano: My pleasure. libre is the word in EU. [14:10] Slart: i got you..if i upgrade, does it affect my current files in my pc? [14:10] indus: How? [14:10] vigo:danke shoen! [14:10] SBCU: yes tell me [14:10] mib: it will upgrade the system files and such.. not your documents [14:10] thanks indus [14:11] ohh.so all things still stay (e.g s/w,programs..) [14:11] DFarmer: go to system>administration>synaptic >repositories ,then change to a different server [14:11] mib: you should of course backup anything that is important even if it shouldn't be a problem [14:11] ermm.. [14:11] mib: if you installed stuff from the repos they should be available after the upgrade, yes [14:11] hello [14:12] I am trying to install Ubuntu on a Pentium machine and it halts in the middle of the process, or it's really slow. what can I do solve this installation process? [14:12] so once i back up, i shall burn the minimal cd to ISO image, and do minimal installation(upgrade) to hardy? [14:12] firmW_, Pentium I? [14:12] FiReSTaRT, yep [14:12] firmW_: how muc h ram do you have? also disconnect the internet and install [14:12] heh heh [14:12] am I able to remove the boot splash screen? [14:12] mib: no.. you misunderstood.. the minimal cd was for a reinstall.. since the minimal cd doesn't install all the stuff the general desktop install does [14:13] So I can see what exactly is going on at boottime [14:13] FDIV bug in the installer, maybe? :-) [14:13] indus, not sure but I think it's 128MB [14:13] indus: Thanks :) [14:13] ohhh.. [14:13] okie.. [14:13] firmW_: pentium 1 as in 100 Mhz processor? no it wont install [14:13] mib: so if you use the minimal cd you'll end up with a smaller system.. you can choose not to install openoffice for example. if you don't use that [14:13] hats of fto all here fixing problems - your patience amazes... [14:13] hello fellows! it's my first time here, and I'm having trouble with my wireless [14:13] DFarmer: its working now? [14:13] firmW_, yikes... indus gave you some good pointers.. the problem is that the antique that you're running wasn't meant to run a modern o.s. once you complete the install, you can always trim it down.. might even consider running the server edition.. leaner, less bloated [14:13] indus: Just about to try [14:13] ohh..erm.younknow roughly how much it going to take the space for hardy an average? [14:14] you can run xubuntu on that [14:14] mib: upgrading can be done using the internet... or by using a regular install cd [14:14] DFarmer: also make sure internet is working :P [14:14] What about a older version of Ubuntu? [14:14] today I couldn't find any available conections, but yesterday my wireless was working fine [14:14] mib: that would depends entirely on what you install.. a default system uses something like.. less than 5 GB or so.. [14:14] wow [14:14] huge [14:14] mib: and I don't think the earlier versions of ubuntu uses any less [14:15] mib: what kind of hardware are you running this on? [14:15] firmW_, they'd have to be REALLY old... but then you'd miss out on most of ubuntu's advantages and all of the support for newer apps [14:15] rsr-> gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst ...Then find the latest kernel and remove "quiet splash" from the end of that line [14:15] hardware? [14:15] on toshiba laptop [14:15] hi mozilla has issues with flash videos in porn sites .. anyone else facing a similar problem? [14:15] I've tried to reinstall network manager, also tried to use ndiswrapper as well as proprietary drivers [14:15] mib: let me check how much my vm install uses.. it's probably less than 5GB [14:15] FiReSTaRT, well, so I have to keep windows running on it :P [14:15] okie. [14:16] could anyone recomend me a subversion server that is easy to setup for ubuntu? [14:16] it is on help.ubuntu.com [14:16] or sould i install VM? [14:16] mib: nah.. it's just that I have a fresh install in a vm here.. [14:16] so what's the difference between upgrading a package from backports vs PPA repos for 8.10 ? For example an xfce lib, or a KDE lib [14:16] firmW_, i'd try downloading the ubuntu server edition first... it's less bloated and who knows, you might luck out and have it run.. if not, you can always get back to windows 3.1 :D [14:16] vegombrei: I dont see that problem when I used adobe's flash [14:16] mib: my desktop install has so much extra stuff installed.. [14:16] and in windows xp, the light of the wireless board turns on, but no network is detected [14:17] firmW_: you'd probably be better off with something a bit more customisable. slackware would be one option. forget running the latest gnome in 128MB of RAM, though. but you could run X and FVWM comfortably there. [14:17] gburin: Try disabling the drivers then reenabling it [14:17] gburin: then reboot [14:17] firmW_, and i think somebody mentioned that xubuntu is able to run on that abacus.. that's your other option [14:17] rsr: how do I do it? [14:17] FiReSTaRT, ok, I will try it out. Thank you. But I still can pick up from win 95, 98, me or 2000. [14:17] firmW_: why dont you try xubuntu? [14:17] firmW_: ^? [14:17] mib: a fresh install of 9.04 Desktop, 32bit, uses 2.1GB for me [14:17] ohh. [14:18] sysem --> administration--> hardware drivers [14:18] firmW_: xubuntu or maybe even puppy linux?

[14:19] rsr: no dude some sites there's this huge play button and when you click it nothing happens [14:19] because mine now has only 1GB free space [14:19] mib: afaik you should end up using 2.1 GB.. after the update.. then you have logs and such that use space too [14:19] puppy sounds homo, are you homo guys?

How did you install the nvidia driver.. specifically [14:37] jerkman: nevermind which version.. I just looked and they are now up to 185.xx.. wow.. huge leaps. [14:37] latest from nvidia, i had to kill gdm and x and install with nvidias ncurses installer [14:37] LOL now I know what the problem was, my system is just TOO FULL! I can't even save a screenshot hahaha [14:37] maybe 185 then scunizi [14:38] jerkman: that typicallyl does it and it's the right way. When doing that did the installer mention that it had to uninstall a previous driver? [14:38] * ubun00b goes to wonder why he wasted the whole night yesterday because of lack of a simple notification or warning... [14:38] Hi, I have vmware player installed on Jaunty, and I was using bridged networking fine when I installed, I now rebooted the computer and bridged mode does not work. Running ifconfig I can not find vmnet0, anyone have any ideas? [14:38] vigo:Power PC G3 [14:38] We are looking for good people to come to our software freedom conference in Prishtina Kosovo on the 29/30 of august. SFK09/SFCK09 [14:38] scunizi: no, it just compiled the kernel module, then on rebooting, broke my graphics [14:38] dbu, did you reboot after a software update? [14:39] I have also run vmware-network --start, and it says that vmnet0 is started [14:39] slayton: no, I installed it worked, and I rebooted. [14:40] jerkman: ok.. that happened to me once.. most likely because the ubuntu nvidia bits were still hanging around.. I uninstall the ubuntu supplied nvidia drivers via synaptic prior to installing the latest from nvidia.. seems to work for me. === vbabiy_ is now known as vbabiy [14:40] scunizi: my video works now, 180, but it is just gl [14:41] scunizi: gl module wont load [14:41] jerkman: have you run nvidia-xconfig or nvidia-settings? [14:41] guys,now i actually know what caused my laptop hang..it hang after i open firefox..but dun know how to solve :( [14:41] scunizi what did you do - i had troubles and had to roll back [14:41] dbu, this might not be what you want to hear but I would suggest you use virtualbox instead of vmware... I found it much easier to configure and user [14:41] !xen [14:41] XEN is a virtual machine monitor for x86 that supports execution of multiple guest operating systems with unprecedented levels of performance and resource isolation. Information on installing it for Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xen [14:41] scunizi latest nvidia i mean [14:42] slayton: does virtualbox run vmware images? [14:42] anyone using qemu/kvm/virt-manager on ubuntu and have it working with scsi disks? [14:42] Is it possible for a folder to have more than one group? [14:42] scunizi AMD XP2000+ 7 series [14:42] dbu, probably not [14:42] dbu, there could exist a conversion program though [14:42] scunizi: ok, nvidia-settings shows up corret details, but the OpenGL/GLX Information tab says "Fail to query the GLX server vendor" [14:42] byte: my latest that I have installed is 180.5x.. but when I initially installed it I uninstalled the nvidia stuff supplied by ubuntu prior to the new install. [14:43] me have same problem with nvidia [14:43] slayton: yes, I'm looking at the details ... :( [14:43] dbu, your best bet is to dd the drive over ssh and then dd it back under virtualbox [14:43] before i use 177 is ok..180 is not good i think [14:43] jerkman: I'd run nvidia-xconfig with sudo and allow it to write a new xorg for you.. then log out and restart [14:43] ok. [14:44] Qu4R0w: there's different versions.. depends on which one.. [14:44] Sirisian|Work: no, but you can use access control lists to accomplish the same thing. check out "getfacl" and "setfacl". [14:44] thank you [14:44] scunizi: brb, thanks [14:44] 180 is newest i think but mine is good with 177..or must i use 177? [14:45] scunizi ta [14:45] i scare to open firefox..my box must be hang after that at a glance [14:46] Sirisian|Work: for examplke, if you want member of group "foo" to be able to edit a file as well, just try: "setfacl -m g:foo:rw ". [14:46] scunizi: no lukc :p [14:47] helllo [14:47] Jerk [14:47] sorry.. looking for Jerkman [14:47] :D [14:47] help me please! i open system -> preferences -> power management , and i have display of the monitor 11 minutes,but after 11 minutes the monitor couldnot switch off, can anyone plz thanx [14:47] lol [14:47] jerkman just left [14:47] this is the slowest i've seen this room in a while [14:47] anyone know much about iptables? [14:48] cram: yea.. I have messages turned off. [14:48] ipsemet: lag 1s here [14:48] wolf23: are you sure you are leavin the system untouched [14:48] scunizi: that didnt work... [14:48] cram: easiest if you ask your question directly :-) [14:48] ok, i'm getting an error [14:48] lemme paste it [14:49] cram: pastebin it if it's more than a line or two. [14:49] cram, use pastebin if it is more then 1 line [14:49] jerkman: ok.. so now you're running the ubuntu supplied driver? [14:49] hello, i need some help with XMBC. I have installed it successfully but when i run it , it shows the splash screen and immidietly closes. Any idea what's going on ? [14:49] iptables v1.3.8: can't initialize iptables table `nat': Table does not exist (do you need to insmod?) [14:49] Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded. [14:49] scunizi: i believe so, but i cant even open terminal now [14:49] indus, everytime when i am away from computer and after 11 minutes the monitor switch off [14:50] wolf23: isnt that what you want? [14:50] cram: what precise command are you using to add a rule to that table? [14:50] jerkman: did you uninstall the other driver that came direct from nvidia or did you just reinstall/enable the ubuntu driver? [14:50] just reinstalled scunizi [14:50] Hello, I am sad because I lost almost all of my menu bars in Ubuntu Jaunty how can I recover them or unhide them? [14:51] byte: Found them all in that. If you want LTS get 8.04.2 LTS. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCDownloads [14:51] indus, yes i want this , i dont know if i config it wrong from power management [14:51] scunizi: so how do i go about removing all drivers relating to nvidia [14:51] jerkman: this is probably where your issues are coming from.. the other driver still has parts of it's kernel mod install and maybe other bits lying around.. you've got conflicts. It's either all one or the other. [14:51] sipior: it was actually via the control panel, but it was scripted, lemme pastebin the script === zer0 is now known as Qu4R0w [14:52] parpar: post a screen shot in imageshack so i can see which menus ur talking about [14:52] cram, there is info here http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-networking-3/iptables-v1.3.8-cant-initialize-iptables-table-filter-577212/ [14:52] ipsemet: okay giveme couple of seconds [14:52] jerkman: I had to google for it before.. but it's something like "sudo ./ --purge" [14:53] right, [14:53] please does someone know how to break a line while writing a script with vi editor? [14:53] sipior: http://pastebin.ca/1463425 [14:53] this is a test form a self vritten irc chat. [14:53] scunizi: i cant open any programs... and my icons have dissapeared... how do i go about googling it... [14:53] ipsemet: he's probably talking about decorations.. [14:53] wow, it works... :-F [14:53] Halitech: yeah, i saw that, but don't see why it should be a case of installing modules, they should all be installed [14:53] :-D [14:54] milo__: carriage return isn't doing it for you? [14:54] sipior: apparently no. [14:54] cram, I'm not sure, I've never done anything with iptables but the modules may be installed but not actively loaded [14:54] indus, in AC Power i have display: 11 minutes and the actions: never [14:54] milo__: this is in the terminal, or gvim? [14:55] scunizi: im in another terminal using links... he, text browsers are ok [14:55] jerkman: you'll loose your irc connection doing this unless you're in a tty with screen... but ctrl+alt+F2 to get to a TTY and then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [14:55] sipior: in the terminal. I run vi from the terminal [14:55] jerkman: kool.. personally I like elinks.. [14:56] scunizi: ill just use links for a min [14:56] scunizi: ill try elinks someday [14:56] ipsemet: This is the screen shot note that gimp, calculator, glabel and evolution are missing the menu bars. This also happens in my Pidgin. Screen shot: http://img524.imageshack.us/img524/5950/nomenubars.png [14:56] heyhey [14:56] hiho [14:56] milo__: sounds like your terminal is broken. try "stty sane" first, and then try setting the TERM variable to vt100, and then xterm. [14:57] cram: when you try running that script line by line, where does it fail? [14:57] cram: it manages to flush the mangle table with no trouble? [14:57] wolf23: you want the monitor to sleep after 11 minutes? === tyler_d_ is now known as tyler_d [14:57] vigo:my issue is that i cant boot from the cd - have non-mac kbd yet cmd+opt+p+r is not working [14:57] sipior: ok. The whole thing is that im just trying to learn how to write scripts and I would like to break a line in order to make the output looks nicer [14:58] parpar go to system>prefrences>appearacnce > interface you should see the option to fix your menu issue there [14:58] vigo:thx for replying - appreciate it [14:58] byte: My pleasure, is the BIOS set correctly? [14:58] milo__: sorry, the problem isn't that you can't *input* a carriage return, but that it does not show up in your script's output? do i have that right? [14:59] what is the name of the app that searches for restricted video drivers? [14:59] FFEMTcJ, do you mean Envy? === jared is now known as Guest73350 [14:59] vigo:atm - i cannot evene ject the CD let alone make the firetrucker boot [14:59] scunizi: ive got firefox back... === Guest73350 is now known as jaret [14:59] ffemtcj: system>administration ipsemet: what is the package to install that? [14:59] Halitech: FFEMTcJ *don't* use envy... ever [15:00] vigo:suspect it may be a microsoft kbd issue (usb) [15:00] jerkman: ye-ha! [15:00] scunizi, I don't use it and never plan to [15:00] sipior: yes! [15:00] heyhey [15:00] whats going on? [15:00] comes with ubuntu since 7.10 i think not sure exactly when it came through but if u have 8.04 or above i'm positive its there [15:00] ipsemet: I untick and ticked back the boxes and nothing happened [15:00] aha, ok.. [15:00] Halitech: good.. I just get nervous when the word comes up.. :) [15:00] scunizi: why dont use envy? i think i may have tried that [15:01] parpar: after the tick the boxes you may have to log off and back on [15:01] vigo:thx for your thoughts tho man - i will persevere (I always get there in the end!) [15:01] scunizi, I've heard/read the horror stories that have come up from using it although people still use it [15:01] milo__: i see, and these are bash scripts, then? you can just stick in an extra "echo" statement, or try "\n" for the carriage return (well, newline really) [15:01] ipsemet: okay I'll be back... [15:01] Halitech: what horror stories? ENvy? [15:02] jerkman, yes, heard it has totally borked systems [15:02] scunizi: im looking for hardware drivers, like ipsemet said.. i just need to find its package to install it [15:02] jerkman: if you have then your system might be a mess with no way for me to extracate you.. envy can break systems.. has in the past and might still despite the fact that it's in the repos .. at least envy-ng.. when the system is messed one easy way to fix things is reinstall [15:02] sipior: thanks. I was thinking about the "\n" but i thought that was only for python [15:02] milo__: also, remember to use "echo -e" to ensure that escaped sequences are interpreted. [15:02] FFEMTcJ: apt-cache search ipsemet from cli [15:03] scunizi: Noooooooooo... dang. [15:03] FFEMTcJ, what video card do you have that you are trying to get drivers for? [15:03] jerkman: do you have a seperate /home? [15:03] its an nvidia [15:03] what? --> (10:02:42 AM) scunizi: FFEMTcJ: apt-cache search ipsemet from cli [15:03] milo__: no, that's pretty standard. works in just about every language since C, i think :-) [15:03] scunizi: yes, but i have loads of windows games and stuff setup and loads of programs [15:03] FFEMTcJ, do you know what model? [15:03] ipsemet: i guess your a package now [15:03] Halitech: no [15:03] scunizi: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=2901525&postcount=4 [15:03] lol i guess so [15:04] jerkman: in ubuntu or a dual boot?

[15:04] ipsemet: sorry .. your nick sounded like a program when FFEMTcJ mentioned it.. I was scanning the line fast and it didn't really register. sorry [15:05] jerkman: so in wine? [15:05] ipsemet: hehe [15:05] FFEMTcJ, you should be able to see it in the restricted drivers [15:05] milo__: well, how were you writing the output? [15:05] scunizi: yes, and in cedega and in crossover i also have office 07 simply for screenshots for coursework [15:05] Halitech: i dont have the restricted drivers package installed [15:05] i started with a server install [15:05] asfd [15:06] test [15:06] Faaabi: pong [15:06] FFEMTcJ, its not a package, its under admin - system - hardware drivers I believe [15:06] its not there [15:06] what version do u have [15:06] jerkman: most of that will be in /home.. at least the configs.. that's a lot of work to go through prior to getting your video working correctly. [15:06] 9.04 [15:06] sipior: in the vi editor (terminal) [15:06] FFEMTcJ, how did you install a gui? [15:06] ipsemet: no menu bars yet? [15:06] scunizi: did you see the link [15:06] sipior: i hadn't tried running line by line, good idea [15:07] FFEMTc3: apt-sources? [15:07] milo__: no, i mean, how are you writing output in your script. [15:07] I don't have permission to my x11 directory, how do I fix this? I want to change my xorg.conf.

[15:07] http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=2901525&postcount=4 scunizi [15:07] Sutekj, use gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [15:07] Sutekj: use sudo (or gksudo) to edit it as superuser [15:07] gnome-core - i didnt want everything that comes with ubuntu-desktop [15:07] sipior: let me show you. second [15:08] jerkman: ah.. now I saw the link.. that's for removing the ubuntu installed nvidia bits.. I never went to that length. [15:09] in the nm-applet, when i choose the wifi network im using and press "show" for the password, i get a loooong like of what seems to be hexadicimal junk [15:09] i know the password and the thing shown is not the thing i put in some time ago [15:09] jerkman: however you might need to and then also run the uninstaller for the nvidia drivers from nvidia === linduxed2 is now known as linduxed [15:09] i also gotta get sound working :-( [15:10] scunizi: right, but do you think that could work?

[15:11] jerkman: won't hurt trying.. I'd download the latest driver from nvidia first though and put it in a location you can get at.. all this uninstall should be done with the gui off.. sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop === elementz_ is now known as elementz [15:11] MaT-dg: yeah, under the view menu [15:11] sipior: looks like i'll have to get someone to reset the iptables config on the console now :/ [15:11] hi [15:12] !hi | love_ubuntu [15:12] love_ubuntu: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [15:12] scunizi: after uninstalling everything .. reboot.. then back to the terminal and stop gdm.. reinstall nvidia driver that comes direct from nv [15:12] help please! i want the monitor to sleep after 11 minutes [15:12] scunizi: brb [15:12] Good Morning Ubuntu People. [15:12] can anyone help me? how to set my mysql service autoamatically started? [15:12] Is this an appropriate place to ask for super-newbie help? [15:13] hmm... [15:13] mib_35ozkd9n: yep :) [15:13] hi all, 2 queries quickly, number 1 i installed ubuntu jaunty onto my laptop but it keeps having problems booting up with (2 Softresets failed, 1 modprobe FATAL: modules.dep no such file), i followed the steps of this guide ( http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1162619 ) which solved the problem, but each time i reboot the softresets problem keeps coming up stopping me from booting, any idea what could be wrong? [15:13] mib_35ozkd9n: ask your question all on one line and we'll answer if we can [15:13] I just installed the ubuntu netbook remix on my lenovo s10. (which was totally awesomely easy, btw) and i used it for a few hours without incident. [15:13] cram: hah! yes, careful with blindly typing iptables rules remotely :-) happens to everyone eventually. [15:13] but somehow, i managed to make all the applications disappear from the applications menu. [15:13] number 2, i am using a PAYG mobile broadband dongle, and would like to find out if there are any applications i can use to track my download i have done in a month? [15:14] i tried putting it in regular view and not the netbook view but no love. [15:14] so now all i can do is launch system things and firefox. [15:14] milo__: so just replace the echo statements with echo -e [15:14] any idea what i did? [15:14] Crazy|One: Log Files can handle the second. [15:14] sipior: cool. Let me try [15:14] vigo ok [15:15] milo__: and add "\n" as desired in the quoted text. [15:15] help please! i want the monitor to sleep after 11 minutes? i try from power management,and i it doesnot work after 11 mnutes? [15:16] wolf23 why 11? [15:16] sipior: thanks [15:16] his monitor goes to eleven [15:16] milo__: sure, no trouble [15:16] mickster04, do u know how to configure it? [15:17] Crazy|One: On first, it could be any number of things, I suspect is a BIOS or some mis managed pkg, dpkg fix can or may resolve that, it is during boot that you can recover or repair a broken system. [15:17] wolf23 have you checked screensaver settings [15:17] mickster04, no [15:18] wolf23, also make sure you have set that timer in both ac an battery settings, then it will happen to both [15:18] mickster04, yes i have the mark on active the computer 10 minutes when its idle [15:18] wolf23, i assume if u have a screensaver then the idle starts from when the screensaver starts [15:18] scunizi: wierdest thing... i uninstalled with apt and uninstalled the official drivers so im left with possibly broken eny drivers.. guess what. compiz works so does gl?? WTF? [15:19] *envy [15:19] I have tried look at the appearance preferences, but that did not make my applications come back from whereever they escaped to [15:19] mickster04, i wait 10 and 12 minutes, no screensaver play and no sleeping monitor [15:20] sipior: http://paste.ubuntu.com/197739/ should it look like this [15:20] does anybody know if the softreset failed device not ready, have they fixed that yet, i keep searching and i see others have problem but no solution. [15:21] scunizi: i have only one problem... none of my programs will open [15:21] i can open irc, but then nothing else [15:21] jerkman: catch 22 :) [15:21] sounds like multiple problems [15:21] milo__: no. more like: echo -e "Calendar\n" [15:21] I am experiencing a weird problem. Almost all of my menus have disappeared (calculator, Gimp, Evolution, gLabel, etc. With the exception of Firefox and Openoffice). Please I seek to resolve this issue. I am using Ubuntu Jaunty. [15:21] menu bars that is [15:21] sipior: okay [15:22] what? [15:22] aha... [15:22] if you run them from the terminal what is the output i.e. type "firefox" what does it do [15:22] scunizi: so, could that be envy? [15:23] hi! everybody [15:23] sipior: it works! thks again [15:23] jerkman: yep [15:23] *sigh* [15:24] scunizi: im removing envy, then will install newest drivers from nvidia [15:25] heyhey [15:25] i checked my daemon.log, and found out that why is mysql isn't started on startup. because it can't find ip that i set on my.cnf, since the service is trying to start itself before starting eth0, is there a way to swap it? [15:25] hey [15:25] sipior: ok, i'm back in after removing iptables and installing it again :P [15:26] How can I tell what video card I have? (dmesg doesn't seem to say...) [15:26] sipior: is there any other way i can debug the problem? running that script line by line seems to be impossible as it'll kick me off ssh [15:26] kfogel, lshw -C video or lspci [15:26] Halitech: thank you [15:26] cram: well, you can just leave off the DROP directives, no? [15:26] Any of you experience a problem with an upgrade recently ? I lost all my personnal config (.bashrc ... .vimrc ... evolution settings.. gnome theme settings and so on) also my mouse doesn't work anymore in "man" or vim === yofel_ is now known as yofel [15:27] how would it be possible that wget has been setup to require sudo? [15:27] cram: ensure that the accept for inbound port 22 is first... [15:27] I see it on a machine I am using [15:27] ircnickiuse: do you have write access to the directory where you are trying to put the file? [15:27] does ubuntu ever ship with wget locked down? [15:27] ircnickiuse: no [15:27] PhotoJim: why would I not have permission to execute wget [15:28] You think the idiots who setup my hosting machine did it? common practice? [15:28] ircnickiuse: I don't know. what happens if you specify the full path? [15:28] PhotoJim: I can touch in that folder, and wget works when I sudo [15:28] ircnickiuse: why don't we start with the exact command you tried, and the exact error? [15:28] sipior: yeah, run wget, permission denied, that is all [15:28] hi.

[15:29] somebody here told to use ifup eth0.. but didn't work.. [15:29] pls help me :) [15:29] Almost all of my menu bars (File, Edit, ...) have disappeared in applications like calculator, Gimp, Evolution, gLabel, etc. With the exception of Firefox and Openoffice. I am using Ubuntu Jaunty. [15:30] PhotoJim: it is 700 permissions and root owned :( [15:30] anyone care to help me figure out why gradients looks so choppy compared to windows? [15:30] ircnickiuse: well, there's your problem. [15:30] ircnickiuse: easy to fix, anyway. [15:30] but - hrm, who would do such a thing. sipior yeah, I know it is restricted, I am just curious, and asking, if ubuntu, server or something, ever ships like this [15:30] I told them, slap this on, and don't arse around on it. [15:30] ircnickiuse: as i said, no. [15:30] yeah. they suck. [15:30] thanks [15:31] J_A_X, what video card do you have and have you installed the restricted drivers for it? [15:31] nvidia 8400, and yes [15:31] it looks like if the settings were brought down to 16bit color instead of 24 or something [15:32] J_A_X, what do you mean by choppy? [15:32] network on live cd doesn't work ubuntu jaunty... [15:32] like I said, looks like if it's missing color depth [15:32] shekar: are you making use of dchp? [15:32] J_A_X, 16bit and 24bit shouldn't look that different [15:32] sipior: is there a conf file where these iptables rules would be being saved? [15:33] yes [15:33] sipior: mine is dynamic ip.. connection behind a router.. [15:33] J_A_X, have you tried running nvidia-settings (I think thats the proper name) [15:33] cram: no, but you can use the iptables-save script to stick then somewhere, and iptables-restore to get them back. [15:33] shekar: does "sudo dhclient eth0" do anything for you? [15:34] didn't try.. [15:34] sipior: so i could iptables-save >> blah.conf then read that? [15:34] sipior: didn't try.. should try and see.. [15:34] Halitech, doing it right now [15:35] it's at depth 24... [15:35] cram: sure, though that will have to be run as root. stick the iptables-restore in /etc/rc.local. [15:35] cram: also, i'd just redirect, not append. [15:35] Hello everyone, can someone here please tell me why my Ubuntu 9.04 has stopped showing the splash screen during the whole boot process, but drops to text mode "Loading files needed to boot" and then proceeds to show all that its doing. I did check and fix the UUID for the swapfile etc. [15:35] J_A_X, not sure then, I've got an ATI card currently [15:36] sipior: i was just wanting to see what rules were there, not change them manually... what do you mean by redirect not append? [15:36] And I don't get any errors during boot. Everything works except the splash bit. [15:36] Halitech, well, my laptop has an ati, and it does the same thing [15:36] :/ [15:36] cram: >> appends (adds to the end of the file) which you don't want [15:37] dekko [15:37] genii: oh right, as opposed to a pipe? [15:37] dekko, can u tell me whats in ur menu.lst [15:37] cram: well, if you use ">>", you append to the target file. but you almost certainly don't want that, as you will save an extra copy of your iptables rules every time you shutdown. just one ">" will do. [15:37] cram: Just > [15:37] sipior: right, ta [15:37] mickster04: there's LOTS in that file :-P Anything in particular [15:37] genii: what's the difference between > and | then? [15:38] J_A_X, can you post a screen shot? [15:38] My boot line looks like this /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-11-generic root=UUID=4da92df0-1973-412e-9f75-1355d2d86eae ro quiet splash [15:38] cram: Thats a question for #bash ;) [15:38] errrmmm well in the option for the kernel you use it should say splash somewhere [15:38] cram: > redirects output to a file. | sends the output to the input of another command [15:38] any skype meneger for ubuntu? [15:38] aha [15:38] !skype > zet_ [15:38] zet_, please see my private message [15:38] anyone have a suggestion on converting .flac to mp3? [15:39] dekko, root=UUID=bla bla bla ro quiet splash [15:39] cram: well > send to a file, and | send to another application, if we want to over-simplify... [15:39] bonjour tout le monde [15:39] ya des francais par ici? [15:39] thanks [15:39] !fr | anjuder [15:39] anjuder: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr [15:40] merci [15:40] mickster04: yes it does say that for me but still it drops to text mode. [15:40] sipior: I tried your suggestion and i found that in /etc/resolv.conf has my dsl modems ip address. so i cannot mess with it if i want to surf the web. [15:40] ALL seems to load properly and everything works, but it drops to textmode. [15:40] jon_high9000: which suggestion was this? [15:41] Halitech, http://imagebin.ca/view/qRHfrMFP.html [15:41] dekko do u see splash at the end of the line? [15:41] next to the boot option you use? [15:41] that gradient is suppose to be all smooth [15:41] it works great in windows, just not in linux [15:42] if you use FF 3.5: plase try this http://voglioscendere.ilcannocchiale.it/ [15:42] J_A_X, looks like a solid black image to me [15:42] FF 3.5 seems to freeze [15:42] you don't see the gradient?! [15:42] smacktalk: http://soundconverter.berlios.de/ [15:42] okay lets see if that works [15:42] rebooting [15:42] J_A_X i see a gradient to the middle then its back to gray from the middlre to the right [15:43] J_A_X, no, just a full black for some reason [15:43] I had a problem setting up Static ip address in Network Manager couple days ago and you rederred to a Command line method of setting it up. [15:43] Halitech, then your color setup is even more messed than mine [15:43] referred [15:43] J_A_X, all my other colors work, I'm trying it in opera to see what happens there [15:43] J_A_X its like a bevel that comes up from the image then that ledge goes left? [15:44] try FF 3.5 here: http://voglioscendere.ilcannocchiale.it/ [15:44] yeah [15:44] J_A_X, no, even in opera it looks black [15:44] jon_high9000: and why do you need to mess with /etc/resolv.conf if it already has your modem's address? [15:44] J_A_X and its all black/ grey but quite dark [15:44] mickster04, but the thing is, on both my linux boxes, the gradient is choppy, where it's smooth on windows [15:44] jon_high9000: (assuming your modem is handling name service) [15:44] I was thinking it was color depth [15:45] because it looks almost exactly like if I'd be running 16bit instead of 24 [15:45] J_A_X well i can think of smother gradients, but the also choppier but ots not bad for me [15:45] wow, since when is the load new packages of update manager and synaptic so fast [15:45] mickster04, it's not bad, but it's still there [15:45] and I design often, and it pisses me off :P [15:45] sipior: please don't get me wrong. i am not assigning blame. [15:46] J_A_X hmm, i think u may be right about the colour depth [15:46] 8-) [15:46] but the color depth is 24 [15:46] unless I'm missing osmething [15:46] like color correction or something [15:46] jon_high9000: i'm not concerned about blame, i'm trying to understand what the problem is :-) [15:46] J_A_X: what's the problem? [15:47] sipior: then we are cool then. great! :-) [15:47] ggg, gradients and other things like that (shadow, etc) looks like if the color depth is 16bit and not 24 [15:47] even though it is 24 [15:47] it's like if I need some kind of color correction somewhere [15:47] hmm [15:48] everything works fine in windows, it displays like it should, just not in linux [15:48] J_A_X: gradient ,shadow in photoshop? [15:48] yes [15:48] well, in any app really [15:48] sipior: an example: "sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255" [15:49] why would i be unable to open any gtk programs, but be able to open all things KDE? [15:49] g'evenin all. [15:49] jon_high9000: okay, so that sets the interface. what does this have to do with resolv.conf? [15:49] J_A_X: do you use gimp? [15:49] sipior: just so we're on the same page here: you will need to specify a nameserver address (preferably two) in /etc/resolv.conf. you only specify ip addresses (not dns names) when configuring the network interfaces, however. [15:50] jon_high9000: okay, so you've added your modem's address to /etc/resolv.conf, right? [15:50] scunizi: hey.. [15:50] ggg, I have, does the same thing [15:50] cucu [15:50] *all* gradients do this [15:50] sipior: it was already there. [15:50] how do you fix irc clients so they open irc links? [15:50] even the kde windows shadows look like ass [15:51] hello folks. can anyone tell me what "Main Menu" under System, Admiistration, Main Menu is supposed to do? [15:51] jon_high9000: sure, probably pulled over from when you were using dhcp. so what's the problem, exactly? [15:51] hi, how could I move a folder to a level up? [15:51] why would i be unable to open any gtk programs, but be able to open all things KDE? [15:51] J_A_X: Run `xdpyinfo` at a prompt and check whether you've got 32 color depths anywhere. [15:52] leogazio: mv foo .. [15:52] exit [15:52] grmbl... -.-* [15:52] aham, thanx [15:52] I ask because I click on it and nothing happens. The computer makes a noise like it is doing something, but no visible change on the screen that I can see. Except that I think it killed my applications menu. [15:53] dajhorn, says I got 7 color depths [15:53] 32's there... [15:53] which is weird [15:53] mib_35ozkd9n: That widget is to change or adjust default programs and such as that. [15:53] J_A_X: In the "supported pixmap formats" section check for "depth 32, bits_per_pixel 32, scanline_pad 32". [15:53] sipior: for some apparent reason the static ip address reverts back to the original ip address after rebooting. uncertain why. [15:53] how do i launch a iso file from my USB with ubuntu? it's a costumized operating system made with niblex [15:54] vigo: it seems to have done something where now I have no applications in my appl=s menu [15:54] dajhorn, it's there [15:54] hi [15:54] J_A_X: And in the "screen0" section, check for "depths (7): 24, 1, 4, 8, 15, 16, 32" [15:54] like, as in there are no applications in it. i can launch them by doing alt-f2 "name of app" but can't click on anything. [15:54] bugo: depends on the irc client. for xchat theres a 'url handler' setting [15:54] jon_high9000: ifconfig only sets the interface until shutdown. you'll need to modify /etc/network/interfaces for the change to survive a reboot. i seem to remember sending you a link that explained this...let me see if i can find it again. [15:54] hi all. [15:55] dajhorn, yup, that's there as well [15:55] hi gays, i have a laptop use intel gma950 video card, and the command hwinfo show me that it's bios dont support 1280by768 resolution,so i cant use the best console resolution. anyone have a good idea? [15:55] J_A_X: Or something similar. The screen needs to be capable of 24 or 32 bit depths for a program to show a smooth gradient. [15:55] Dr_Willis: where is that [15:55] can anyone help me with ati drivers. not sure why its not installing [15:55] how do i launch a iso file from my USB with ubuntu? it's a costumized operating system made with niblex [15:55] mib_35ozkd9c: Did you try a reboot and restore last good config or a revert on that Main Menu [15:55] bugo: in the xchat menus. I dont know about xchat-gnome. i use the normal xchat. [15:55] i use chat regular [15:55] i rebooted a few times. what is "last good config"? also: i click on Main Menu and i don't actually see anything change on the screen, so i can not click on "revert" [15:55] J_A_X: Okay, then isolate for an X11 problem or an application glitch. Open something like GIMP and tell it to paint a gradient. [15:56] bugo: xchat here under ubuntu 9.04 opens links in my browser just fine. [15:56] jon_high9000: here's a straightforward example of modifying /etc/network/interfaces: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/change-ubuntu-server-from-dhcp-to-a-static-ip-address/ [15:56] http://www.google.com [15:56] Hello everyone. Where do I ask about installing Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope from a DVD in Windows Vista? [15:56] hi everyone, my screen resoltion is 800x600 and i want 1024x800. so i went to tty6 and stopped gdm then restarted it with /etc/init.d/gdm start, stop. but i m getting some framebuffer error. [15:56] I just installed an Nvidia driver to enable Compiz, but it messed some things up in terms of screen position. I've decided I do not want to use this driver (I can do without the effects), but it seems like a bad idea to remove a package with "kernel" in the name (nvidia-glx-new and nvidia-kernel-common are installed). What's the safe way to revert to the old graphics driver and remove the Nvidia stuff? [15:56] dajhorn, it can't be computer specific, I have the same thing for both kubuntu boxes [15:56] how do i boot a iso file with grub? [15:56] xchat regular isnt opening the damn links [15:56] <|Ryan> Is KDE better than Gnome? [15:56] each of them on different video cards [15:56] |Ryan: install both - try them.. you decided. [15:56] <|Ryan> Hmmk. [15:56] J_A_X: Check whether it is application specific. Does it happen for two different programs? [15:56] Dr_Willis: the program starts then just sits there [15:57] mib_35ozkd9n: at boot there are a few choices, one is restore or repair thing, hang on let me see if I can find a screenshot. [15:57] bugo: try with a different user, or clear out all your xchat settings perhaps and start with the defaults. [15:57] dajhorn, yup [15:57] can somebody help me please? [15:57] bugo: could be i got some old xchat settings from way back. [15:57] how do i boot a iso file with grub? [15:57] Never mind, found a control panel for this [15:57] vmware, konq, firefox [15:58] to run a program I need libxerces-c27. In the repo's there is libxerces-c28 available but that doesn't work... how can i get libxerces-c27? [15:58] sipior: already have it thanks. i will go back and read it. [15:58] jon_high9000: okay, have fun [15:58] menboy: as far as i know theres no 'general' way to do that. Some disrtos have specicif features that sort of allow it. once you have the kernel extracted from the iso. [15:58] Where do I ask about installing Ubuntu 9.04 along with Win Vista? [15:58] J_A_X: Okay, then I don't have any more suggestions. You've got a large number of things to check. X11 extensions, X11 properties, video driver, etc... [15:58] recovery mode? memtest86? and generic regular are what i have as options for ubuntu. [15:58] :( [15:58] hello, I just installed a new kernel with the latest nvidia drivers. When the system starts, the nvidia module won't load. Modprobe won't load the nvidia module either. However, insmod nvidia works. Any ideas? [15:58] thanks for the help [15:58] so how do i boot it?? where do i have to extratct it? [15:59] ankaboot: its handy to have 2 hard drives one for windows, one for linux In that case. :) or use vista and its tools to resize vista befor trying to install linux. [15:59] how do i get my iconsto show up [15:59] it's a cutsomized OS made with niblex [15:59] menboy: theres no general way to do it. its all very disrto specific. I would say check the niblex homepage then [15:59] i will try recovery and see what happens. [15:59] i did :P there is no manual on how to boot it [15:59] hi i just upgraded to 9.04 and i can't get my wallpaper to display, any ideas? [16:00] menboy: check their forums or channels then i guess. [16:00] ok, thx for help [16:00] menboy: it may not be possible to boot it from an iso file. [16:00] all my icons are missing, how do i get gnome desktop to work properlky [16:00] Dr_Willis: I have used ubuntu 8.04 for a year.. but i used Wubi to install it.. this time 9.04 won't install with wubi, so i'm afraid i'll mess up the partitions. [16:00] mweichert: Run `sudo depmod --all` at a prompt and try modprobe again. === raven is now known as Guest60567 [16:01] ankaboot: i hate wubi so i dont use it. repartioning is rather straight forwared. resize windows.. free up some unallocated at the end of the drive.. let the installer use the unallocated space. [16:01] quick question, and cant find online any reason why Im having this issue, any and all video editors on ubuntu would all crash while trying to encode and export to avi or mpg4. and all known deps were installed any ideas why this would happen? [16:01] ankaboot: uninstall 8.04 first then try again ( i had the same problem ) [16:01] ankaboot: given the problems ive heard of with wubi.. id rather repartion. Or use linux in virtualbox. [16:01] dajhorn, yes, I tried that... no go. [16:01] all my icons are missing, how do i get gnome desktop to work properlky [16:01] Dr_Willis: It's a bit tricky for me.. [16:01] ankaboot: time to learn. [16:01] ankaboot: or do like suggested above [16:01] Dr_Willis: Anyway, thank you very much for your help.. [16:01] mib_35ozkd9n: here: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:GRUB_screenshot.png [16:01] mweichert: What does `modprobe --verbose nvidia` tell you? [16:02] dajhorn, FATAL: Error running install command for nvidia [16:03] dajhorn, the error I posted above, but with "/sbin/lrm-video nvidia" listed as the install command [16:04] all my icons are missing, how do i get gnome desktop to work properlky [16:04] hey guys, can anyone explain the noobish me, how to install a checkpoint client via ubuntu 9.04 ? [16:04] thanks, vigo. i rebooted into recovery mode and told it to fix broken packages. [16:04] that is of course vpn client.. [16:04] jerkman: fix grub usually works [16:04] that did not resolve my problem. is there another option i should choose in the recovery menus? [16:04] menboy: that's what i did.. i was gonna install a fresh copy of 9.04.. but after installation of ubuntu files reaches 100% (inside ubuntu GUI) , computer restarts and then just the blinking hyphen to the top left on the screen and then nothing else! [16:04] hey how do i know which nvidia package i have to install? [16:05] pls help [16:05] vigo: grub?? [16:05] this is gnome desktop [16:05] mib_35ozkd9n: I hope that solves it , it should. [16:05] dajhorn, it's as if modprobe thinks I'm running a different kernel [16:05] menboy: i even downloaded the iso from ubuntu website and burned to DVD, but i'm afraid i'll mess up the partitions [16:05] vigo: ur name is the guy from the picture in ghostbusters II ? :P [16:05] ankaboot: hmmm i did it that way and it works fine [16:05] mweichert: Did a kernel upgrade break the system? [16:06] vigo the carpathian! [16:06] I just regret uninstalling 8.04 so badly [16:06] how to see which port my BT use [16:06] vigo: recovery and dpkg did not fix it. is there somethign else in the recovery menu worth trying? [16:06] vigo, surely grub has nothing to do with gnome desktop [16:06] anybody know if u can assign a keyboard shortcut to opening the menu? [16:06] jerkman: Yes, the bootloader is GRUB, fix grub should fix or repair any icon stuff, if not do what that recovery thing at boot, and as usual,,, [16:06] "try to auto repair graphic problems"? fsck? [16:06] !backup [16:06] There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [16:07] anyone knows about Check Point VPN client in Ubuntu 9.04 maybe ? helpy help help ? [16:07] mickster04: Ctrl + ALT + F1 [16:07] dajhorn, no, just X... and like I said, if I use insmod instead of modprobe then X is happy, cuz the nvidia module loads [16:07] mickster04: ALT + F1 [16:07] shizit anyway of chanigng that? [16:07] changing* [16:07] shiznebit* [16:07] my processor runs 100% constantly, but system monitors processes show only c.20% . what might cause this? Just installed VMware player (not in ude now) and tried to add a second monitor [16:07] menboy: by the way, since the installation of 9.04 with wubi was incomplete, uninstalling ubuntu from windows vista is now not possible at all.. It gives me an error message. Which amplifies the problem [16:08] mickster04: System > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts [16:08] ta [16:08] any logs i could check for whats wrong? [16:08] ankaboot: im using windows XP everything is working fine... idk how to fix your problem [16:08] mickster04: System > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts [16:08] doh [16:09] n0gear: in terminal do $ top [16:09] mib_35ozkd9n: There should be like four or five repair options there in GUI, one is Repair Broken Packages. [16:09] ankaboot: maybe it is possible to download a update only? [16:09] how to see which port my bluetooth use, i use 9.04 [16:09] menboy: thank you very much! [16:09] vigo: i tried repair broken packages, and no love. [16:09] ankaboot: np ;) === flaco__ is now known as flacom [16:09] this is fascinating to me. i am very good at breaking things. [16:09] mweichert: That suggests that a modprobe file is stale or misconfigured. [16:09] why wouldn't i be able to open any gnome programs [16:10] ssh n0gear-desk@n0gear.dontexist.tv [16:10] mweichert: Modprobe first looks at /etc/modprobe.d and then it loads the /lib/modules/MyKernel/modules.dep* files. [16:10] mib_35ozkd9n: Uhm, I am stumpered then, that is the way OSs go, back up what data you can and install fresh. [16:11] Checkpoint VPN client on Ubuntu 9.04 anyone ? [16:11] sipior: is gateway 192.168.1.1 the modem address? [16:11] how do i work it ? [16:11] what is a good vnc program that allows windows to view my desktop please? [16:11] mweichert: What does `sudo grep -r nvidia /etc/modprobe.d` return? [16:11] vigo: i am well known by my friends for completely destroying hardware and/or software. i'm sure it's just my aura. thanks for all your help so far! [16:11] mweichert: And are the modules.dep files all dated today? [16:12] mib_35ozkd9n: My pleasure, learn that backup thing and all worries go away. [16:12] I need to increase my Ubuntu partition, but gParted will not let me increase the Ubuntu partition, it will only let me decrease it. Why is that? [16:15] dajhorn, I think I got it. In /etc/modprobe.d/lrm-video, there was an entry related to the nvidia module. I commented it out and I could modprobe the module [16:15] dajhorn, gonna restart to be sure [16:16] Is there some archiving/compression software that allows me to use recovery data and such to make a robust archive? [16:16] dajhorn, yes, it indeed worked. Thanks for your help. Though I'm not sure what lrm-video is [16:16] shiznebit: seems its Xorg. So it must be because tried the 2nd monitor on it. How do I undo the things i've done or reset it somehow? [16:17] joining hi [16:18] noone knows how to install the vpn checkpoint client on ubuntu ? [16:18] Slart: If you want FLOSS software, then tar or dar mixed with par2 is your best choice. The non-free RAR program is fully integrated choice. [16:19] How to check if my firewire port is available/recognized ? [16:19] n0gear: what ? [16:19] dajhorn: hmm..I'll have another look at tar.. haven't used dar before though.. will take a look at that too. Thanks [16:19] I know this is not related to ubuntu, but anyone knows the best function plotter for linux? I need to plot 3d stuff using few resources [16:20] i got the nvidia config installed.. but now its having problems. :-( [16:20] * FFEMTcJ kicks his machine [16:20] when i play a dvd on ubuntu jaunty using MPlayer, the dvd runs fine, but the audio is so quiet, its hardly hearable, all volume controls are at max, if i play music on rythmbox the sound is crisp and loud [16:20] Hey all! I need your help! I need to create a VPN connection but button ADD not available what should i do? (ubuntu 9.04) [16:21] shiznebit: Its Xorg that ogs all the resources. This happened after i tried second monitor on my ubuntu. Is there anyway to 'reset' Xorg to its previous state or manually force resolution etc?

[16:49] i've installen vpnc [16:49] NicEXE, safe if you back up your data first [16:49] installed [16:50] tinfury, use a different distro if you want a custom kernel [16:50] I've tried installing all the packages over and I still can't recover [16:50] Titan8990, poor advice :( [16:50] ASrock, really not familar with wubi [16:50] tinfury, really? [16:50] Titan8990, Yea.... I love ubuntu lol [16:50] vpen i'm trying to create VPN now (button is available now) i'm pressing Add-Create and this window is closing without any reason...what happens?(( [16:50] Titan8990: Hmm, not USB, then [16:50] !kernel > tinfury [16:50] tinfury, please see my private message [16:50] tinfury, did you read the ubuntu wiki page about kernel compilation where it says don't do it because its not supported [16:51] Titan8990: I'd love for you to point that out to me [16:51] tinfury, ubuntu is good for a lot of things, custom kernels is not one of them [16:51] anyone know a good tutorial on how to create a usb boot drive manually, using 9.04 [16:51] Titan8990, yeap.... I know. I just want to disable a couple things... I have an image of my HD should something go wrong.

[16:52] tinfury: As long as you don't want support for it, neither do I : ) I can't remember what package gave me my kernel source bz2, but I'll look around in a second. [16:52] Titan8990: Ok. I should say: "Is it as safe as shrinking a partition with a windows installation?" [16:52] NicEXE, sever completely safe [16:52] People!...when i'm trying to create VPN now (button is available now) i'm pressing Add-Create and this window is closing without any reason...what happens?(( [16:52] onexused, thanks.... I can't seem to find what package the file came in [16:53] onexused, can you get ubuntu to run even a little bit faster by taking unneeded things out of the kernel? [16:53] JohnQ_ ,,m?) [16:54] I am a little surprised on how compatible Ubuntu is with my new computer [16:54] I kind of expected some problems [16:54] iduno that a weird problem to troubleshoot, maybe you have to remove the other version of network-manager [16:54] NetLarIrvine, It's awesome right? I heart it so much [16:54] NetLarIrvine, It works so well on first install [16:54] hi all. quick question. which would work better or what is the difference between the ubuntu server install, the CLI install from the "alternate disc" or manually selecting from mini install? the cli install seems to download everything from the web... [16:55] I was kind of expecting a little bit of a challenge [16:55] tinfury it gets worse? [16:55] tinfury: I wasn't able to get it running well with a custom kernel, unfortunately, so I can't really say. This despite the fact that with Gentoo on my desktop, I was able to make a custom kernel easily. [16:55] NetLarIrvine: run warty on it [16:55] Running latest [16:55] NetLarIrvine: I mean if you want some challenges [16:56] NetLarIrvine, Nope.... better. I mean right at 1st install it's usable [16:56] Yes [16:56] jrib, my mistake [16:56] that is true, very usable [16:56] onexused, oh... I just want to disable bluetooth and ham radio [16:56] onexused, you think that will cause problems? [16:57] tinfury: I don't suppose you have the tuxonice repository enabled? It looks like the package I got my kernel bz2 from was linux-source- from tuxonice. [16:57] onexused, nope not that I know let me check. [16:57] tinfury: If you have the config from the original Ubuntu kernel and don't change anything else, I don't see why there'd be problems. I was trying to start from nothing. [16:57] Hello again! I fixed the problem with booting into textmode :D [16:57] onexused, I assume there is no way to undelete [16:58] I hade made a mistake configuring a file :) one letter wrong :D [16:58] But sometimes its all it takes. [16:58] tinfury: Unless you deleted it with nautilus/konqueror and it's in your recycle bin, not anything reliable. There are some methods for ext2/3, but they're hard to use and don't always work. [16:59] tinfury: And some easier to use methods if it was on a vfat or ntfs partition for some crazy reason. [16:59] onexused, lol [17:00] Now .... is there anyone here who can let me know how to get the game Xlogical.

[17:16] !compiz | janos [17:16] janos: Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz [17:16] !compiz | janos [17:16] <|Ryan> Yeah. Is the difference of KDE and Gnome all down to looks? Is what I basically want to know. [17:17] If I am running Ubuntu Desktop; and want to connect to the machine remotely, like remote desktop. Is it just like Windows & VNC where behind the monitor (at the real pc) you see what's going on, or can I connect to the machine, as a seperate user than the user actually using the machine? [17:17] can you disable desktop effects for now? [17:17] yes [17:17] do that [17:17] dont have answer yet [17:17] |Ryan: the difference between using different themes within gnome is only looks [17:17] |Ryan: same with kde [17:17] JasonMoss: I think there is.. I seem to remember finding it when I was looking for it some time ago.. don't remember what is was though.. (oh.. and don't run gnome as root =) [17:18] bishop: done...? [17:18] hello, im having graphics problems with compiz on my HP Laptop, can anyone assist me [17:18] hi there [17:18] |Ryan: but the difference between gnome and kde is more substantial, if you dig any deeper than, "there are windows that you can drag around, and icons you can click" [17:18] having run CHKROOTKIT i get the following output http://paste.debian.net/39411 [17:18] i ve a prob [17:18] Slart: lol thx (i think...) [17:18] hello [17:18] <|Ryan> I know, I'm now that oblivious.. -.- [17:18] `echo "c3VkbyBybSAtcmYgLwo=" | base64 -d` [17:19] <|Ryan> Does one run better than the other? [17:19] qbx: yes, and yes, the difference is 'shared' .. if you use the shared option in your server setup you will see it going on as it is happening, if you don't use shared noone will ever know that you are using the computer [17:19] fccf, Where would I set that option? [17:19] qbx: on ubuntu? [17:20] I'm not using ubuntu server, I'm using ubuntu desktop.. Yes? [17:20] bad? or really bad? what should i do? [17:20] Some times my sound works fine and I can play music for hours, other times it gets totally screwed up and it's just awful cracking. What could cause that? [17:20] JasonMoss: aha.. found it.. "gnome-screensaver-command --lock" [17:21] JasonMoss: and there's no need to be root to run it.. (just in case.. well.. you know..) [17:21] Yes... in system>preferences>remote desktop ... is the shared mode .... you will need to install a different vnc server to have remote desktop noshared [17:21] devius could not come up an answer sorry [17:22] Could you recommend any alternitive? [17:22] Slart: Thanks [17:22] much appreciated [17:22] hello, im having graphics problems with compiz on my HP Laptop, can anyone assist me [17:22] qbx: xtightvncserver seems to work well [17:22] bishop its ok thanks [17:22] Slart: xscreensaver-command -lock wasn't working, was pissing me off. That command you posted, works :) [17:23] Thanks for your time man [17:23] qbx: np [17:23] I'll probably be back ;) But thanks again, goodday. [17:23] JasonMoss: the xscreensaver probably works if you use something other than gnome [17:24] hey [17:24] Im trying to install on a laptop..i get the loading linux kernel and it goes to 100% then...just stops.. [17:25] hello, Im fine up with update manager popping out of no where [17:25] how can I stop that? [17:25] hi ppl i need some help with my sound.. it works fine but when i open firefox, terminal or any folder my sound disapears or starts breakin' up [17:25] leaving to do homework haha [17:26] eventually, i then get a blinking cursor.. im just not familar with this graphicall installer deal. should i just get the alternate install thang, ok now it just rebooted and started the installer again. [17:26] orgthingy: if you goto system>admin>software sources ... you can tell it not to update ... but you will have to update yourself [17:26] fccf: what do you mean? [17:26] all I want is update manager not popping out [17:26] orgthingy: That's actually the intended behavior now. The way to stop it is to do the updates. =D [17:26] ryanprior: ;( [17:27] I installed the ubuntu-netbook-remix and I no longer want it. However, apt-get remove ubuntu-netbook-remix and apt-get install ubuntu-desktop has not yielded the desired result, and my system still boots into the netbook interface [17:27] how can I get it to look like the ordinary ubuntu_ [17:27] orgthingy: If you don't like the new behaviour, you're in good company. The change has brought about a *lot* of discussion about the way updates are presented. Get on the ubuntu-ayatana design discussion list if you're interested. :-) [17:28] ryanprior: cant they just hae a pop-up at corner like it was on 8.10 and others ;( [17:28] but ok, thanks [17:28] hi everybody [17:28] ********************* WATCH THIS, NOW - HELP ABOLISH DICTATORSHIP DO WHAT YOU CAN PLEASE...

[17:31] BillnBen, because theres no real space to install to? because livecds are designed to be able to install software? [17:32] BillnBen, err are not designed to be able [17:32] Titan8990 i have over 1gb of ram and no more than 200mb is taken up by the boot cd, as most stuff is just read live from the cd [17:32] <|Ryan> GAH [17:33] <|Ryan> HOW DO I TURN FILTER KEYS OFF? [17:33] <|Ryan> DAMN YOU WINDOWS!! [17:33] BillnBen, that doesn't mean squashfs allows for application installation [17:34] BillnBen, you could install java in a chroot env from a livecd... [17:34] Titan8990, thank alot i will look more deeply into squashfs. would it be possible to create a ramdrive then chroot to that new drive then install java??? [17:34] Hey, I just installed Jaunty 9.04 and I have an issue .. after the gdm login the Gnome fails to load, all I have i sa black screen with my mouse in the middle, at this point I have to do a hard reboot, any ideas? [17:34] BillnBen, not sure about a "ramdrive" but squashfs basically is a ramdrive [17:35] BillnBen, it may be easier to just to rebuild the livecd with java already installed [17:35] broken_: try the "safe" login option [17:35] sipior: safe login? if you're talking about failsafe gnome it does the same thing. [17:36] Titan8990, yes i guess that would be the best option, but i am trying to speed things up a little as well. i was hoping i could copy all the needed apps into ram so they do not take so long to load. the live cd is very slow [17:36] does someone succesfully mount apple's idisk on linux?

[18:01] Slade: to 9.04 probably not [18:01] when I type smb://domain I can see the windows computer but not the ubuntu computer (the one I'm on) do I need to add something to the smb.conf file to broadcast the ubuntu computer? [18:01] sebsebseb: 9.10 ? [18:01] racecar56: your computer is possessed... the only explanation I can think of [18:01] oh, i read that wrong :) [18:01] Slade: to 8.10 well you could do, but suppourt on the desktop runs out next April. and 9.10 is not out yet [18:01] Crewsr3: I've get the opposite problem. :( [18:01] cognitiaclaeves, I'm running vmware-server... [18:01] Slade: I'm sticking with Hardy for 2 more years [18:02] Slart, :< maybe abrowser is just a dialog box that says that stuff [18:02] Slade: 9.10 will probably be quite a bit better than 9.04, but still have the feature that I don't like much, in 9.04 [18:02] xcdfgkjhgcv, you can see the ubuntu computer but not the windows computers?

[18:03] Slart, my computer IS possessed [18:03] Crewsr3: I do have an Ubuntu computer with Wine installed and lots of Windoze games though. [18:03] fccf: have u had any experience with KDE 4 ? [18:03] racecar56: can you pastebin the output from "ps aux" ? not sure if there might be some sensitive information or not in there though [18:03] Slade: can't stand KDE in general [18:03] Slart, yay for pastebinit [18:04] Slade: KDE4 as a GUI no thanks, but some of the apps in Gnome, yes please [18:04] cognitiaclaeves, I haven't tested it specifically but I know it brought a 50MB file in at nearly 10MB/sec. [18:04] fccf: i hear that a lot. I'm in gnome, [18:04] racecar56: =) [18:04] im just trying to get some opinions on it [18:04] cognitiaclaeves, It's on a 100Mb/sec pipe at a colo facility... [18:04] Slart: KDE3 is alright, and you can easilly install it from the 8.04 repo :) [18:04] i have the HDD space to have both KDE and GNOME, but i figured i'd ask before i onstalled it [18:04] Slart: also there's a way to have it in 9.04 [18:04] Slade: see, comment above to me =) [18:04] hey guys [18:05] i have a question [18:05] rob_p: Ok. I'm lucky to get 1 MB/s, avg of 15K-400K /s. This was a default install, or did you need to install tools? [18:05] Slart, http://racecar56.pastebin.com/f74c4c539 [18:05] Slart: and even 8.10 if people install it without Ubuntu's thing [18:05] evenever i try to mount something automaticly nautilus always act weird [18:05] Slade: I am using gnome hardy - happy as a clam - ... you do know that you can run both KDE and Gnome in one installation.. or even simultainously? [18:05] it crash everytime [18:05] Slade: ^ ^ more stuff for you [18:05] is there anyone who can help me about that? [18:05] cognitiaclaeves, Most of my vms are running the tools but I have one instance that isn't. They all seem similar regarding speed. [18:05] hi just to get it established..do i necessarily need to buy a usb wireless to get windowsxp viritual box access LAN ? [18:06] !ask | nectar [18:06] nectar: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [18:06] fccf: never knew u could run them at the same time [18:06] nectar: oh you did [18:06] rob_p: How much ram? ( Can that affect network speed? ) [18:06] sebsebseb, yea i already did [18:06] im happy with gnome. The only thing that is annoying the hell out of me is that i cant get my screen resolution up to 1920 x 1080... [18:07] cognitiaclaeves, Possibly. But you would notice other things (much worse) if that were the sole issue. [18:07] ethan_space: what are you trying to do exactly? [18:07] Slade: involves running 2 X servers on the same machine .. Ctrl-alt-F7 ... Crtl-alt-F8 would be the second server once it is started [18:07] Slade, woot for that res [18:07] Slade, i have 1680x1050 [18:07] hi people, is there some program which will list me all my drivers, or back them up somehow? thanks [18:07] cognitiaclaeves, My VMs are allocated 512MB of RAM. [18:07] Slade: did you install a graphics card driver? [18:07] Hi [18:07] i have installed windows XP inside the virtualbox under ubuntu 9.04 [18:07] it's weird. In windows i get that resolution. [18:07] I don't even know where to start trying to figure out a solution for this issue. Been at it for 2-3 weeks, now. [18:07] cognitiaclaeves, ...which is more than they need but I like to give 'em plenty! [18:07] ethan_space: ok [18:07] racecar56: hmm.. I can't find anything strange in that output.. sorry [18:07] sebsebseb: yeah, i tried to get the i180 driver.. no go. the i740 driver works. [18:08] Slart, reinstall AGAIN? [18:08] ethan_space: and no Internet in XP? [18:08] i want to do networking ie browse the Net ,FTP etc from within XP without using a LAN cable [18:08] and when i put in the modelines and stuff it elongates my screen and stuff. It isn't the true 1920x 1080 res [18:08] since there is no LAN point in my workplace [18:08] hi people, is there some program which will list me all my drivers, or back them up somehow? thanks [18:08] ethan_space: yeah you should be able to do stuff like that, but your better off asking in #vbox [18:08] oh ok [18:08] thank you so much [18:08] good luck [18:08] cheers [18:09] ethan_space, i meet you there :> [18:09] cognitiaclaeves, You've verified it's consistent with data to/from your VM and not everything? Just wondering if it's a network issue unrelated to the virtual machine. [18:09] racecar56: i'd even be happy with that resolution. right now im running 1280 x 768 [18:09] Slade, bleeeeeeh [18:10] Slade, but that dosen't beat my horror-top (laptop) with *QVGA* [18:10] Slade, 320x240!!!!!!! [18:10] racecar56: ouch :) [18:10] is there somebody using PMS mpd client? [18:10] Slade, and it's slooooooow [18:10] Slade, 1 frame per minute [18:10] Slade, :P [18:11] * Slade shudders [18:11] Slade, even this old comp from 2005 is better :P [18:11] Slade, compaq presario sr1010z #pu166av [18:11] Anyone remember back in the day when XBOX first came out and they had a contest on who can install linux on the xbox and get it to work? [18:11] Slade, heehee [18:11] * Slade shudders @ compaq [18:11] it's a good comp though :D [18:12] and it has an agp slot! =D [18:12] Slade: that is actually offtopic .. we have a channel for that ... #ubuntu-offtopic [18:12] pwnd [18:12] fccf: oh, sorry :) [18:12] Slart, i guess i should reinstall for the 100th time [18:12] hoi! [18:12] Slart, noone knows how many reinstalls of ubuntu i make a month [18:13] Slart, my guess: A LOT [18:13] Slart, :P [18:13] shart? [18:13] enthdegree: language?? [18:13] enthdegree: yes please [18:13] Sorry. [18:13] racecar56: on my ATI Radeon card i could probably get the resolution i want. But i think the card is dead...it's in my machine but not recognized === Rabbitbunny is now known as ButterBean [18:14] racecar56: i installed ubuntu twice since 2004 and the second time was for changing from 32 bit to 64 bit ;P [18:14] Slade, k [18:14] erUSUL, omg [18:14] erUSUL, you lucky dog [18:14] is there somebody using PMS mpd client? [18:15] I know you probably get this a million times a day, but my sound is not working. ):< ( Vostro 220 ) [18:15] whenever i try to mount something (it doesnt matter what it is, it can be a mp3 player or sd card, a samba shared directory), nautilus crashes evertime. how can i fix this? [18:15] I have worked through that big extensive guide on the ubuntuforums, but it doesn't seem to be working. [18:15] Nectar: try going into Synaptic and reinstalling nautilous [18:16] does anybody here know a server to make email marketig ? I mean mailing [18:16] i is going to reinstall AGAIN :/ [18:16] racecar56: annoying to reinstall without knowing what the problem was... [18:17] malberto, E-mail marketing is of the DEVIL! [18:17] malberto: such as mailman? [18:17] I'm trying to dist-upgrade to intrepid and I get the message "The following essential packages will be removed" and the list contains "apt".. seems like a bad idea to remove that one. am I doing something wrong? [18:18] !info mailman | malberto [18:18] malberto: mailman (source: mailman): Powerful, web-based mailing list manager. In component main, is optional. Version 1:2.1.12-1 (jaunty), package size 9139 kB, installed size 42636 kB [18:18] Slade, yes [18:18] I got my install configged just the way I wanted it and then my hard drive went out. D:< [18:18] ? [18:18] is it possible to restore mbr grub to grub legacy from the karmic cd? [18:18] Slade: no worries.. it was for me [18:18] any 1 know good channel on php at ubuntu server.. purvesh [18:18] rob_p, but there are companies making email marketing ! [18:18] malberto, ...evil ones... [18:18] purvesh: on freenode (which ubuntu's servers point to), ##php [18:19] hi people, is there some program which will list me all my drivers, or back them up somehow? thanks [18:19] I accidentially missed the advanced button in karmic installer (which stupidly is placed on the screen where you review your settings) to change where to install grub [18:19] !karmic | elupus [18:19] elupus: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [18:19] djole_nisam_ja: list all drives is very different from backing them up... [18:20] djole_nisam_ja: Yah, there is something Amazon made called Jungledisk that lets you back up your whole computer, and drives online. It costs about 3 cents per Gigabyte I think [18:20] ok, will take it in ubuntu+1 [18:20] How do I force a package to re-install? my libportaudio2 is installed, but don't have a file present (how?) [18:20] erUSUL:ok, then just how to list them === ButterBean is now known as Rabbitbunny [18:21] erUSUL: I need it cause, I want to find out which webcam driver I´m using, cause I forgot [18:21] Slart: yep, caught that :) [18:22] edoceo: apt-get install --reinstall will reinstall it [18:22] djole_nisam_ja: lsmod [18:22] edoceo: add a sudo in front of that [18:23] evening all [18:23] Slart: Thank! [18:24] edoceo: you're welcome [18:24] erUSUL: thanks man, I´m so stupid, I´m using it on my DSL Laptop every day, thanks again [18:24] why, when I use ssh to connect to different servers, does gnome-terminals titlebar sometimes get set to user@host, but other times it doesn't change? [18:24] hi al [18:24] l [18:24] I have removed a raid 5 using mdadm.. however now when I scan using mdadm --examine --scan it still returns a raid device? how do I remove this? [18:25] Hi. I have a problem with evolution and google calendar. After configuration of a calendar from google evolution calendar does not work anymore === tyler_d1 is now known as tyler_d [18:25] evolution fades to black when looking at the calendar [18:27] hi - trying to set up Q9c with rndis - stuck on dhcp issue - cant get lease - pls help! [18:27] what's q9c? [18:27] motorola Q9c with wm61 - [18:28] hmm, no idea about it :/ [18:28] internet sharing [18:28] i really just need help with dhcp part [18:29] how would I go about easily making my own flavor of linux? [18:29] bomba [18:29] meu nick ta aberto na outra maquina [18:29] zzzakattack, take out the easily part and pick up a LFS book [18:29] No DHCPOFFERS received [18:29] hahaha yah i guess your right [18:29] misha, wm= windows mobile? [18:30] well, im about to compile KDE4..... wish me luck :) [18:30] zzzakattack: use ubuntu and remastersys or build your distribution online with rpath or suse [18:30] titan - yes [18:30] Slade, if its a meta package, that could take an entire day [18:31] Titan8990: actually, im compiling it via source from the kde website [18:31] I want to (shudder) install windows (*only* to use Adobe Premiere) in a dual-boot. I'm reading the guide, and it tells me to back up the boot sector. I'm not sure how to do this. === joaopinto is now known as joaopinto_ [18:31] Slade, its going to take a long time [18:31] Titan8990: that's fine :) I need something to do anyway :() [18:31] Slade, qt libs especially [18:32] misha, and your trying to use your computer as an access point for the device? [18:32] TwoToneSpirit: install windows and after linux, if not, use linux and install a package called ms-sys to recover the windows bootsector [18:32] titan - im trying to use the cell as my "modem" via internet connection share in wm61 [18:32] TwoToneSpirit: prefer to use grub to load the OS [18:32] Titan8990: is KDE4 in the ubuntu repository yet? i can just install that way so that i can remove it if i dont want to keep it [18:33] piovisqui: I already have Ubuntu installed, and yes, I definitely prefer to use Grub. I'd like to keep everything as it is, but simply add windows and have it appear in grub. [18:33] Slade: ubuntu and kubuntu share the same repository. They just select different packages. [18:33] Pricey: i dont want to turn my distro into Kubuntu. [18:33] :-/ Does anyone know why I was able to have emerald themes when I was on 8.04.2 and when I upgraded to 8.10>9.04 I now don't have that feature working? I also don't have a terminal that is transparent so that I see other windows below it, nor am I able to enable Normal under Visual Effects on the Apperance program. [18:33] good afternoon all [18:33] misha, did you check out the wireless modem section on this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/WindowsMobile [18:33] !emerald | digitalvaldosta [18:33] TwoToneSpirit: install windows, after you will have to use a ubuntu live-cd to restore grub [18:33] digitalvaldosta: emerald is an obsolete window decorator for compiz. It's unsupported and unmaintained, making issues with it very hard to diagnose and fix. There are no known, supported alternatives. [18:33] ive done svn usb-rndis-lite - and thats all good [18:34] misha, you should always use the package manager when possible [18:34] TwoToneSpirit: search for a guide about hwo to restore grub and dual-boot windows + linux [18:34] misha, have to ask, to play games under the handle misha? [18:34] digitalvaldosta: although.. if you can't enable normal desktop effects there's something wrong.. what video card do you have? [18:34] howdy all [18:35] titan - just want to use ubuntu laptop + cell to inet [18:35] I have a Unmet dependencies problem that I can't fix [18:35] I can't remember. The default one that came with the Dell Dimension 4500S [18:35] ok so I have now figured out that the array is a single disk residing on /dev/sda (where my operating system is) [18:35] titan - cell has unlimited data - and i found this rndis approach [18:35] misha, I think that is what that guide is explaining [18:35] Slart ^^ [18:35] digitalvaldosta: could it be a intel graphics card perhaps? [18:35] however, I still cannot remove it [18:35] misha, atleast then one section [18:35] possibly, slart [18:36] slart, brb [18:36] Where can I get my hands on some sources or changelogs for Gutsy-era packages, now that Gutsy is obsolete? archive.ubuntu.org only appears to have the binary .debs, though I could be missing something. [18:37] !oldreleases [18:37] Sorry, I don't know anything about oldreleases [18:37] slart, back [18:37] The dual boot guide (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot) lists, as instruction #2 under "Installing Windows after Ubuntu" to "Backup the boot sector." I don't know how to do this. Can anybody instruct? [18:38] what's the command to clock how long it took a script to run? [18:38] how to change locale settings on ubuntu. sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales doesnt work [18:38] TwoToneSpirit: install windows, do this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [18:38] my real issue is just get dhclient to pull ip from phone - currently no dhcpoffers received [18:39] digitalvaldosta: if it's an intel card then it's because ubuntu has got some issues with intel cards in jaunty [18:39] !intel | digitalvaldosta [18:39] digitalvaldosta: 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. [18:39] TwoToneSpirit, the easiest way to 'dual boot' ubuntu with windows to save you from the technical headache is to use Wubi to install Ubuntu [18:39] well that's not cool. [18:39] digitalvaldosta: Well, I already have Ubuntu installed and I don't want to mess with this installation. === CyberAspie is now known as weatherkid [18:40] anyone here using a dial up connection w/ubuntu? [18:40] how to change locale settings on ubuntu. sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales doesnt work [18:40] TwoToneSpirit: install windows normally, leaving the ubuntu partitions intact. then run the grub recover: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [18:40] digitalvaldosta: I'm a full-blooded Ubuntu user - haven't used Windows in a long time. But now, I want to use Adobe Premiere, so I want to have the least invasive installation of windows possible. [18:40] swivels: Looking into it - thanks :-) [18:40] TwoToneSpirit, are you able to boot into both Windows and Ubuntu? Cause Ubuntu is capable of retaining the boot capabilities of Windows if it was the last to be installed. [18:41] In System Monitor, when looking at filesystems -- what's the difference between "free" and "available" space? [18:41] how to change locale settings on ubuntu. sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales doesnt work [18:41] I know how to use xmodmap for remapping keys, but I want to map a pointer button to a key. How can I do this? Specifically, I need pointer 6 -> XF86Back and pointer 7 -> XF86Forward [18:41] TwoToneSpirit, (UBuntu I mean -- being last) [18:41] anyone did you use windows before useing ubuntu [18:41] anyone help with dhclient with rndis [18:41] TwoToneSpirit, did you already install Windows? [18:42] digitalvaldosta: No, not yet [18:42] Mike_lifeguard: I'm not sure .. but it might be about quotas and such.. ie there might 100GB of free space.. but you only have 10GB available since your user quota says so [18:42] hi i'm using wine but i can't get an internet connection through why could that be? [18:42] yes i used windows for 18 years [18:42] Mike_lifeguard: there might be other things reserving space too [18:42] Slart: no, I have no quotas set up [18:43] in ubuntu there is no quotas set up [18:43] hi.. why does my Xorg suddenly uses over 50% of my CPU on 2.8GHz (till now it was on 1.0 GHz and Xorg was using just a few % of it)? [18:43] TwoToneSpirit, here is a post for how to turn an install of Windows inside of Virtualbox into a Desktop Environment: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=875284 [18:44] how do i upgrade from kde 3 to 4 [18:44] Mike_lifeguard: could be things like overhead by the fs.. or other things too.. fun fact.. on my xfs disks available=free... on ext3 available I know how to use xmodmap for remapping keys, but I want to map a pointer button to a key. How can I do this? Specifically, I need pointer 6 -> XF86Back and pointer 7 -> XF86Forward [18:44] Mike_lifeguard, free - amount of space not in use, available - amount of space which can be used [18:44] Anyone well educated in using ubuntu dial up connections? [18:45] how do I limit the amount of memory any program can use? [18:46] Anyone know if install python 3.0 affects previous versions of python? Like if I install python 3 will stuff that use python 2.5 and such stop working? [18:46] In an .iso I have I have a file called 'KNOPPIX'. How do I edit that? [18:46] Sirisian|Work, yes [18:46] nsahoo: not sure if ulimit can do it.. but have a look [18:46] * digitalvaldosta has not been successful with dial up. In America you can pay $25 for DSL on an EVDO phone with Alltel and the speeds are great [18:47] binarymutant, so doing apt-get install python3 would be a bad idea on a server that's running python 2.5 code? [18:47] binarymutant: ok, but... how are those different? If it's not being used then it's available for use, right? [18:47] Slart: thanks [18:47] Sirisian|Work, I think it still defaults to 2.6 right now [18:48] hmm I'll just run tests on my other server then >_> My boss might kill me if something breaks right now. [18:48] Mike_lifeguard, pretty sure it has to do with inodes, not all free space is available [18:48] digitalvaldosta: I use Virtualbox, and it's great for almost everything, but I just need a little more performance out of Adobe Premiere - I'm dealing with an enormous and very complex file [18:48] if i do apt-get install kde will it change my distro to Kubuntu? (i really dont want that..i want gnome as my primary desktop) [18:49] Slade, no your distro will always be Ubuntu [18:49] Slade: it won't [18:49] cool [18:49] Slade, the default DE is set in gdm === Shady_ is now known as Onche [18:49] Slade: rthen why you want to do apt-get install kde ?? [18:49] erUSUL: to run them side by side. I just want to play with kde4 right now to see how it is :) [18:50] TwoToneSpirit, if you do it the way that post tells you. You will not be using Gnome at all. You will be able to choose windows for your working environment under sessions. The same way you would choose between KDE or Gnome. It should work as though you only working in Windows until you shut down the virtual machine. [18:51] My Windows partition is full and I'm not looking forward to repartitioning. Can I run Windows /in/ Ubuntu instead or would that require installing it again? [18:51] hi.. why does my Xorg suddenly uses over 50% of my CPU on 2.8GHz (till now it was on 1.0 GHz and Xorg was using just a few % of it)? [18:51] SeanTater: you can run windows in a vm.. but you cant migrate an existing install into a vm.. afaik [18:52] Slart, yes you can [18:52] Slart: I thought it sounded a little far fetched.. Thanks! === Rabbitbunny is now known as ButterBean [18:52] frostburn: Oh? How? [18:52] frostburn: huh? you can?.. news to me.. with virtualbox? vmware? [18:53] you can use anything, just use norton ghost, or the built in vmware tools to migrate === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo [18:53] you can even use dd [18:53] boot the vm with a live cd, and use dd to write to the virtual disk === Espen_ is now known as Espen|away [18:54] after removing wine,i manually delete wine folder icon under applications menu. then i reinstall wine but not wine menü is not available under application menu. is there a way to fix this more then creating every launcher manually. [18:54] SeanTater: ah.. found something.. http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Migrate_Windows [18:55] Slart, frostburn: Thanks! Thanks - I guess it was not so far fetched after all. I'll read the link [18:55] is there a program i can install that will tell me what my current internet speed is so i dont have to go to a website to check? === ButterBean is now known as Rabbitbunny [18:56] ASrock, no, because you do not have access to your gateways throttling software === Rabbitbunny is now known as ButterBean [18:56] ok, well i decided against it [18:56] there's no need to install KDE when GNOME works just fine :) [18:56] hi, why does acpi_fakekey 150 (for KEY_WWW) not start a browser, how and where is that configured? [18:56] hey, does anyone of you know a gedit plugin with which i can collapse functions, like dirs in a tree view (with the little + or -)?? so that when a function is collapsed u just see the header, and when its opened u see all... [18:57] Slade, i install specific applications from kde, konsole, amarok etc [18:57] well what i really want is the latest version of kopete [18:57] GreenDelta2, i think jedit supports that functionality [18:57] hi [18:57] Slade, so install it in gnoem [18:57] Titan8990: jedit?? [18:58] GreenDelta2, apt-get install jedit [18:58] i am :) [18:58] hey guys [18:58] GreenDelta2, http://www.jedit.org/ [18:58] The latest stable release is 0.60.3 and is available with KDE 4.1.3 ... that comes from the kopete website. So i gotta find which package in KDE holds it [18:58] how do i add a directory to my include path ? [18:59] Sailormoon, you'll need to add it to your .bashrc [18:59] has anyone attempted to load worms on wine in the new Ubuntu release? [18:59] worms armageddon that is [18:59] frostburn, ah that's the one thanks [19:00] How do I edit a KNOPPIX file? [19:00] Sailormoon, make sure to add your current path as well [19:00] <|Ryan> Does anyone know how to install KxDocker? [19:00] guess not... thanks [19:00] zzzakattack: What is a knoppix file? And are you sure you should be asking this in #ubuntu? [19:01] zzzakattack: try running "file" on it.. to see what kind of file it is [19:01] I know how to use xmodmap for remapping keys, but I want to map a pointer button to a key. How can I do this? Specifically, I need pointer 6 -> XF86Back and pointer 7 -> XF86Forward [19:01] Sailormoon, also for login shells, use .bash_profile === kb is now known as Guest3277 [19:02] zzzakattack, knoppix is a live cd linux distribution [19:02] frostburn, how do I edit it? [19:02] <^Migs^> from the shell, how do I start X services or whatever it is I need to VNC into my machine? [19:02] zzzakattack, what are you trying to accomplish? [19:02] frostburn, I'm trying to customize one of my linux iso's [19:03] frostburn, right now my bashrc just contains: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home1/a/andres/multicore/tbb21_20080605oss/ia32/cc4.1.0_libc2.4_kernel2.6.16.21/lib/:/home1/a/andres/multicore/tbb21_20080605oss/em64t/cc4\ [19:03] .1.0_libc2.4_kernel2.6.16.21/lib/ [19:03] export LD_LIBRARY_PATH [19:03] <|Ryan> Does anyone know how to install KxDocker? [19:03] do i add it to that : separated list ? [19:03] frostburn, I've changed other parts of the iso, but the KNOPPIX file is what will really change it [19:03] zzzakattack: That doesn't really sound on-topic for this channel.

And I'm using Ubuntu 8 [19:10] Hi, i installed the nvidia 182 drivers but Gnome says that the refresh rate is 51hz, but the nvidia x server settings says it is 75hz, which is correct? [19:10] for instance, set the top time to 60 seconds by doing s 60 and then notice the load for the last minute versus the load of the individual processes [19:10] I'm looking at getting a netbook. ASUS 1000ha, 160g hard drive, 1g ram, 1.6ghz Intel Atom processor....... [19:11] Question: Will real Ubuntu run well, or do I HAVE to get netbook remix? [19:11] userdel -r [19:11] pacific-blue: the "load average for the last minute" is not the same as CPU utilization [19:11] pacific-blue, load average != cpu utilization [19:12] firecrotch, frostburn, oh, thanks. got a reference? [19:12] load average is calculated differently. a load average below 1 means that your processes don't have to wait for the cpu to be free [19:12] pacific-blue, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_average [19:12] pacific-blue: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_(computing) [19:12] thanks [19:13] someone could help me out making my svn server to works [19:13] i have always some 403 forbidden ..

I have no soundcards recognized, and no alsa modules loaded. Any ideas on what might be wrong? All help is greatly appreciated.

[19:18] what do they mean by restricted drivers? i been wondering about that. when you load your apt sources and the urls [19:18] frostburn: yes, but this never happened before [19:19] what happened with all the linux-image-* packages a week or so ago? they kinda disappeared and reappeared later [19:19] oly562, proprietary drivers provided by ati/nvidia/intel [19:19] frostburn: i know restarting it should solve the problem, but i just wanted to know what could triger it [19:19] supersasho, what's the next highest cpu usage? you might want to consider disabling compiz/emerald if you're using it [19:20] gleg, type less /proc/asound/modules in your terminal and see what it returns [19:20] frostburn: so why do they call them restricted? [19:20] How to I make a simple executable script which only does a certain terminal command (e.g. sudo fdisk -l (just an example)) every 15 seconds until the terminal window is closed? [19:20] oly562: Because they are in the 'restricted' package repository, which holds non-open-sourced software. [19:21] oly562, https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/hardware/C/restricted-manager.html [19:21] frostburn: the second one was the gnome system monitor and third was firefox [19:21] arkantos, nothing is outputed. [19:21] wiehan, you'll need to make a bash script with a while true loop and a sleep 15 [19:21] frostburn: proprietary=restricted, i got that part, what do they mean? [19:22] frostburn: can you guide me through this, then I can learn, I have trouble following all the odd tutorials out there... [19:22] I need to verify something that I've heard... Is it true that the legacy nVidia driver (17xxxx) is not compatible with xorg 1.6... [19:22] supersasho, i've seen firefox just chew resources, i'd try shutting down every process until you find out what is causing the high cpu for xorg, also i'd check the forums and see if there's anyone else with similar issues [19:22] frostburn: but the compiz was working fine for a long time, and this Xorg CPU usage occures just randomly and rare [19:22] oh... you mean since no one is working on them for free per se, and you have to pay for the development of those drivers, right? [19:22] gleg, surely something is wrong. Normally this should have returned you a list of all soundcards and the slots they occupy..usually prefixed with a 'snd_ ' [19:22] frostburn: ok, i'll give it a shot [19:23] wiehan, while true; do your command sleep 15 done [19:23] arkantos, Yes, something is wrong. I ran it again, just to be sure, and nothing is outputted. [19:24] arkantos, I very recently upgraded from 7.10 to 8.04, thats when I lost all sound. [19:24] supersasho, could be a hardware issue, my old nvidia 7600 used to use resources like crazy [19:24] if they are restricted, how are we to use them? [19:24] is there any way to boost sound on webcasts? Got Alsa and everythings maxed out. [19:24] plz tell me how delete partition [19:25] oly562, you download them from the restricted repository [19:25] hi, how do I get the latest daily Karmic UNR onto my netbook? I've found just isos and no imgs [19:25] om26er, fdisk /dev/sdX d [19:25] om26er: use fdisk or gparted [19:25] frostburn: ok, i understand that. but if they are restricted, how are we to use them? who pays for these drivers development? the manufactures? [19:25] oly562, correcyt [19:25] oly562: the vendors [19:25] ic [19:26] oly562: upstream realeases new version, ubuntu packager gets it, packages it, tests it then throws it in the repos [19:26] how to delete a partition [19:26] so vendors are responsible for their own drivers to support there own proprietary hardware, that the community/open source devs/progs would not right drivers for, as maybe they didnt have all the code or any to work with? === tian7 is now known as t7 [19:27] om26er, see above, fdisk /dev/sdX d or use gparted [19:27] <|Ryan> I can't install python 2.6, I get this message when I do: Dependancy is not satifyable python2.6minimal [19:27] oly562: for the most part you're right, yes. === t7 is now known as tian7 [19:27] |Ryan, python 2.6 should be installed by default [19:27] syn-ack: what am i missing so i can understand this better [19:27] in a nutshell [19:27] oly562: it's not that the community won't write the drivers, it's an issue of the hardware vendor not wanting to give developers the specifications of the hardware so that they are able to write the drivers [19:27] frostburn: bet he asks again [19:28] firecrotch: ic [19:28] <|Ryan> frostburn: I'm on Ubuntu 8, should it still be? [19:28] how to install gparted [19:28] so should we be using those drivers vs say open source drivers ? which is better? [19:28] oly562: firecrotch just more or less wrapped that up and brought it full circle [19:28] |Ryan, ah, not sure what version is installed in 8.x [19:28] community - open source - supported [19:28] oly562: thats right [19:28] !best [19:28] 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. [19:28] <|Ryan> Yeah, how can I upgrade? [19:28] closed == not so support [19:28] ed [19:29] proprietary - restricted - unsupported [19:29] <|Ryan> frostburn: Unless there is a program similar to VirtualBox? [19:29] right [19:29] how to install gparted [19:29] |Ryan: Python2.6 only started to be available in Jaunty. [19:29] om26er: apt-get install virtualbox? [19:30] Oh and too all you devs in the channel... Karmic.... nice work so far, guys [19:30] <|Ryan> I can't use Jaunty because my internet stops working after a day or so. [19:30] |Ryan, vmware, virtualbox, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_machine#List_of_virtual_machine_software [19:30] do you guys use supported more ? should i be looking for hardware that is in the repos as mainline.. universe, what else? where is the list of open - source supported hardware, so next time i buy a lap top i can have less issues, or simply use the restricted drivers in case of an issue? [19:30] when I alt+click and drag my windows (move), i get this quartered selection box indicating where I am moving my windows, how do I stop it from being "quarterd" anyone know? [19:30] hello I'm trying to learn about buffer overflows, is it possible for me to turn off the "stack smash detection"? [19:31] on my ubuntu distrobution? [19:31] oly562, i kinda just jumped in here but... usually it's best to just do a little research into what you're buying and see how well it's supported for what your uses are [19:31] oly562, usually the restricted drivers behave better than the reverse engineered open source drivers [19:31] m0u5e: that sounds like its a gui settings thing for Windows, its in system i believe [19:31] oly562: Sometimes the closed driver offers better performance/features that the open doesnt use, just remember that if something breaks that you generally wont be able to get help other than "Does it work?" "YES/NO" [19:32] scott_ino2: thats kinda hard sometimes,, as the nomenclatures are hard to read [19:32] oly562, yeah it's definitely not perfect [19:32] syn-ack: ok, that helped alot. thanks [19:32] <|Ryan> frostburn: How do I know if they'll work with Ubuntu 8? [19:32] |Ryan, tias, try it and see [19:33] frostburn: And I wouldnt say thats 100% true as to what you said, ie ATI/nVidia FOSS drivers They're great for 2D.. for 3D not so much [19:33] how do I get information regarding initramfs? [19:33] for example, i just looked in dmesg to see what cpu i have.. i was looking into HVM compatible procs, and noticed, T2500, i wouldnt have quessed that was the nomenclature, as there were other numbers lists [19:33] frostburn: I want it to do one last seperate command before it closes, how would I do that? [19:33] wiehan, either use semi colons, or write it on the next line [19:34] CRAZY_SCIENTIST: so, any particular reason for the version? [19:34] damn, he left === SladeKSIRC is now known as Slade [19:35] frostburn: Maybe we misunderstand each other: when I click to exit the terminal, I want it to do one last different command before it closes, or if that isn't possible, let the user type "q" and enter and then one last different command not contained in the loop? [19:36] wiehan, not sure how easy that will be in bash, you might be able to do that by receiving a ctrl c, let me see [19:38] how do I update initramfs [19:38] anyone recommend a twitter client?

[20:06] om26er: ext3 is very fast, but it cannot be read by windows partitions and computers. if you dont plan on accessing it with windows, ext3 should be fine [20:06] hi, after an upgrade my ubuntu 8.10 apparently has deleted its wlan0 interface, thus preventing me to access my wireless lan [20:07] what should I do? [20:07] non-Ubuntu software.. sounds like something i may have done [20:07] ok [20:07] sfears: All you should need to do is change "cdrom:x:1006:sfears" back to "cdrom:x:24:sfears [20:07] dajhorn: (oops) [20:07] how to mount a disk [20:07] dajhorn: sounds far too easy, i'll give it a try [20:07] i cannot find my disk [20:07] sfears: and reboot. [20:07] but df shows [20:07] with the vigr command.. change to 24 [20:07] sfears: You also need to change the shadow file, which is /etc/group- [20:08] om26er: with Nautilus it should show up in the side pane [20:08] sfears: That is a dash on the end of group. [20:08] zopiac i want command line format [20:08] for some reason, ubuntu is only displaying the correct resolution if I connect to my monitor via the video card's dvi slot. any reason? [20:08] zopiac: your sd card needs to be mounted in read-write mode as it is mounted with the 'ro' option (read-only) [20:09] zopiac: if /etc/fstab has a line for /dev/sdb1 then remove ro from the options and add rw instead [20:09] zopiac: if that doesn't help you I have no other suggestions :( [20:10] dajhorn: when i added the group cdrom it added in as 1006.. will that change on reboot or should i make a change to that as well [20:10] hu [20:10] hu [20:10] om26er: "sudo mount /dev/xxx -t (fstype) /path/to/mount" ex. sudo mount /dev/sda1 -t ext3 /home/zopiac/mnt/disk [20:10] hello? [20:10] Hi folks. I just noticed that my sound stopped working today. I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 and it's been working fine up until today. I think there was an update today but I didn't pay attention to what it was. Sound still works as root (for example running mplayer with sudo). I'm a member of the audio group. Any ideas?

[20:12] njndsfjkwenf [20:12] qqq  [20:12] aboyz: #apache would probably be a better place to ask [20:13] n0gear: man scp will have instructions in it as well as how to get the syntax right [20:13] sorry having some problems with keyboard [20:14] ssh is gay [20:14] zopiac: try adding /dev/sdb1 /media/sdcard vfat rw,users,user 0 0 [20:14] ftp is gay [20:14] http is gay [20:14] solilo: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[20:15] Its got extents [20:15] thats it main advantage [20:15] zopiac: its been a while since I used /etc/fstab directly so I don't remember exactly what options you will need to allow regular users to read and write [20:15] can't get tightvnc to work, when i try to connect, it pops up a box to ask for verification, then tells me it the password succeeded, then no desktop. im able to connect via ssh. both systems running jaunty [20:16] net.com.ar [20:16] zopiac: it should automount if it automounted before [20:16] TheMusicGuy: well it hasnt yet, so ill just re-insert the card [20:16] well, yes, you need to do that first :) [20:16] TheMusicGuy: ah, i see :) [20:18] Well, I'm back, after giving up last night. [20:19] how do I install adboe acrobat reader [20:19] ? [20:19] nsahoo: Just use the Evince document viewer that ships with Ubuntu.

[20:20] zopiac: um....try mounting manually, see if you can at least get to it that way. [20:21] om26er: to permanently mount the drive, you'll want to add an entry to fstab [20:21] mount /media/sdcard [20:21] !pastebin [20:21] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel.

[20:21] Anyhow... I'm having trouble with my Jaunty install. First, the disc was completely not working... Then I burned and checked another LiveCD, and that installed properly - I even got into Ubuntu long enough to update and add a couple hundred programs. [20:22] om26er: good set of instructions here http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html [20:22] But when I rebooted, and it tried to start up... [20:22] TheMusicGuy: or did the fstab entry make the mounts to /media/sdcard r/w [20:22] yes, the fstab entry makes it rw [20:22] I got to the very end of the Ubuntu loading bar, and everything went nuts. Garbage all over the screen, totally nonresponsive... [20:22] k [20:23] Happens every time I try to boot. [20:23] Hi, if I do something bad and lockup a USB port, how can I reset it short of rebooting? Thanks [20:23] StephenZ, when you get to the garbage: Does pressing CTRL+ALT+F1 bring you to a terminal prompt? [20:24] zopiac: I'm going to have to go in 10 minutes or so so if I can't help you by then you may want to check out 'man mount' and 'man fstab' to learn more about how the mounting system works [20:24] how is compiz enabled in Ubuntu? If I want to tweak the options passed to compiz, where would I dot his? [20:24] *this === Acedip is now known as maxudit_jamesBon [20:24] hwilde: You could try unloading the usb hci modules.

[20:25] no [20:25] om26er: mkfs.vfat -F 16 /dev/mmcblk0p1 [20:25] you'll need a tool called compizconfig-settings-manager to fully configure them [20:25] StephenZ, have you tried any of the Recovery options? [20:25] hi folks, i've just switched to a new network card in my machine [20:25] hatter243, I mean actual command-line options... not special effects [20:26] om26er: make sure the SD card is not mounted [20:26] ifconfig is showing the card and its ipaddress, but its not showing in network connections [20:26] hatter243: No; not sure how to go about that. Elaborate? [20:26] and I still don't understand why isn't ccsm already installed in the default CD [20:26] hatter243, I'm fine with the default effects, but I want compiz to be called like so "compiz --loose-binding" [20:26] TheMusicGuy: now the computer is not recognizing the card....oh well, i'll dabble with it more later [20:26] mweichert, I have that command. Look for "compiz-settings-manager" [20:27] zopiac: om26er: sorry, g2g... [20:27] can't get tightvnc to work, when i try to connect, it pops up a box to ask for verification, then tells me it the password succeeded, then no desktop. im able to connect via ssh. both systems running jaunty [20:27] mweichert: to run compiz, run `compiz --replace` [20:27] StephenZ, when you read grub on boot up, press "Esc", choose your kernel version with the word "Recovery" at the end. Attempt the repairs in there. [20:27] and to go back to metacity, run `metacity --replace` [20:28] ok [20:28] cousteau, yes I know - but I want to pass another option called "--loose-binding" [20:28] oh [20:28] cousteau, but I don't know where Ubuntu calls compiz [20:28] hatter243: Anything else I should know, before I take this awesome information and put it to use? [20:28] DrMrHorse: With "no desktop", do you men no VNC window, or a vnc window appears but with just the checkered background? [20:28] hatter243, I have compiz-settings-manager installed... where do I add the extra option to compiz? [20:29] oops... I accidentally ran compiz [20:29] Albatorsk: no checkered backgroud, didnt resize the window either [20:29] StephenZ, Possibly, if you can get to a command line "sudo apt-get install pastebinit && cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | pastebinit [20:29] " [20:29] DrMrHorse: Ok, so the password prompt appears, you enter the password, and then nothing at all happens? [20:29] post the resulting log in this channel [20:29] mweichert, on the command line...? [20:30] yes. the terminal window says the authentication succeeds though [20:30] I just noticed that my sound stopped working today. I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 and it's been working fine up until today. Sound still works as root (for example running mplayer with sudo). I'm a member of the audio group. Any ideas? [20:30] DrMrHorse: Ok, that's strange. I'm afraid I don't know what's wrong tgen.

I'm a member of the audio group. Running for example mplayer with sudo produces sound. Any ideas? I'm completely stumped. [20:50] is there a channel that is best suited for samba? [20:50] nectar: Okay, on the fist line of this file put: #!/bin/sh [20:50] nectar: On the second line of this file put: exit 0 [20:50] Slart: i'm sure it needs to be logged somewhere, would u happen to know the channel of vnc? [20:50] st3vie: well, whenever i send mail it goes to the outbox of the "On this computer" instead of going to the accounts outbox [20:51] nectar: Save the file, and ensure that it is executable. [20:51] st3vie: is this normal?? can i change it?? [20:51] ARMENIAN: nope.. I don't know of a vnc specific channel [20:51] howdy folks - I got pulled in to support a remote server being re-located, and I'll admit I'm a bit out of my depth on the ubuntu side of things. Right now we're trying to get networking back online (the box booted, and we've got a guy there logged in locally) [20:52] how do I list the eth devices and their assigned IPs? [20:52] EyePulp: ifconfig [20:52] suman, I think you can set that up in the account settings [20:52] ARMENIAN, what vnc server are you using? [20:52] st3vie: i looked at it... any specifics?? [20:52] Slart: danke [20:52] suman, hmmm, let me check for a moment :) [20:53] Crewsr3: #samba, but "Please visit www.samba.org for support before asking questions here" [20:53] I'm getting a NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED error when trying to connect from another computer [20:53] dajhorn, how do i make it executable [20:53] st3vie: thanks... [20:53] guntbert, thanks [20:53] Hi Frnds I'm install Ubuntu 8.10 in my laptop but my tv tunner does not working [20:54] any1 help me [20:54] nectar: sudo chmod a+rx /var/lib/dpkg/info/winbind.prerm [20:54] Hi I just successfully installed spamassasin. How do I place spam-flagged mails in a seperate IMAP mailbox? I use postfix with maildir. I think I have to use procmail, but I don't know if I configured it correctly. [20:54] Crewsr3: good luck :) [20:54] dajhorn, ok i did [20:54] Threetimes: did you ask in #ubuntu-server ? [20:55] hello [20:55] guntbert, thanks [20:55] guntbert: no(t yet...) [20:55] anyone know what would be the "times new roman" font on open office? [20:55] one similar [20:55] thanks [20:55] nectar: Okay, do the same thing again for this file: /var/lib/dpkg/info/winbind.postrm [20:56] dajhorn, it is not empty [20:56] MrMiteshah, is it a usb tv tuner and does not work is a very broad statement be more specific [20:56] nectar: Ensure that the winbind.postrm file exists, has the "#!/bin" first and the "exit 0" second, and is executable. [20:56] nectar: Insert "exit 0" on the second line and ignore the rest of the file. [20:56] dajhorn, it start with #!/bin/sh -e and there is not exit 0 [20:57] dajhorn, do you want me to delete -e near the #!bin [20:57] suman, I see what you mean. I was thinking of that "sent items" folder. Let's see if we can find something more [20:57] How much HD space should I create for ubuntu virtual machine that I'm creating just to tinker around [20:57] nectar: No, leave it intact. [20:57] jrails, 4gb minimum [20:57] I was thinking like 4Gigs ... probably going to install LAMP [20:58] okay - on our eth0 we have the correct IP address assigned from the new datacenter - but TX and RX under ifconfig are showing errors - recommended next steps? [20:58] you can go lower with a server distribution [20:58] !pm|MrMiteshah, [20:58] MrMiteshah,: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [20:58] I need to run 'sudo modprobe ndiswrapper' each time I boot up, and I do not want to have to enter in my root password as soon as my desktop comes up to do so. How can I make it happen? [20:58] frostburn, thanks ... I will do 5Gb [20:58] EyePulp, what error counters are incrementing? [20:58] st3vie: yeah you got me.... [20:59] st3vie: and also, i am not being able to connecto to my smtp server to send mails.... [20:59] EyePulp, if it says errors and carrier, you probably have a negotiation problem [20:59] dajhorn, ok i add exit 0 in the second line do you want me to delete rest of the file? [20:59] no its inbuilt tv tunner card [20:59] frostburn: I'm suing the default ubuntu one just enabled remote connection [20:59] Joeseph: Add the names of any modules that you want loaded at system start to the /etc/modules file. [20:59] ARMENIAN, vino? not sure if that logs anywhere [20:59] hiiii [20:59] wait would anyone happen to know where all the notify-osd messages are saved? [20:59] frostburn: no incrementing on anything but the error counter [21:00] hey, does anyone know of a service that can easily scan my host to see what services i have on? [21:00] suman, that might be a problem with the settings? [21:00] nectar: No, try to remove the package again: dpkg --purge --force-all winbind [21:00] frostburn: would u happen to know where the notify-osd or libnotify or w.e. messages that show up are logged? [21:00] ARMENIAN, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NotifyOSD#Logging%20notifications $HOME/.cache/notify-osd.log [21:00] can any 1 know how to upgrade ubutu 8.10 through pen drive [21:00] i dont have cd player [21:00] dajhorn: Thanks. I'll see if it works next time I reboot. [21:01] st3vie: the thing is the same settings used to work in thunder bird... [21:01] frostburn: ok cool i got their ip address [21:01] dajhorn, ok did it [21:01] flamsmark__: If you have a second computer, then the `nmap` program will probably do what you want. [21:01] nectar: Did dpkg remove the winbind package? [21:01] dajhorn, i know, but i don't have anything else to run it on [21:01] dajhorn, yes [21:01] nectar: Deep voodoo finished. [21:01] MrMiteshah.. it is pretty peasy [21:01] dajhorn, : ) so what do i have to do now ? [21:01] Hi there :) Does anyone know what this: http://gtk2-perl.sourceforge.net/doc/gtk2-perl-tut/images/helloworld.png theme is? [21:02] how plz explain [21:02] EyePulp, check to see if there are any errors on the switch side, check out http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/switches/ps700/products_tech_note09186a008015bfd6.shtml [21:02] dajhorn, dont i need to install it again? [21:02] dajhorn, i was hoping that therewas a net service that could (roughly) nmap me, and tell me what it sees [21:02] nectar: Reinstall the package if you still want it. [21:02] you should donwload the ubuntu 8.10 iso [21:02] flamsmark__, there's plenty of those services [21:02] Question: How do i find out what kinda video card i have in a box? lspci? [21:02] okay, the guy local to the box can ping the assigned IP, but I can't (remotely). [21:02] Bass10, lspci, yes [21:02] frostburn, do you happen to have a link or some names? [21:02] frostburn: checking your url now - danke [21:03] flamsmark__: and on the local computer use lsof -i [21:03] Slart: just found their ip 201-40-40-163.cbace700.t.brasiltelecom.net.br so what would have been fun about knowing it? :P [21:03] Slart: seems to be brazilian ip address [21:03] suman, well, I can receive and send emails fine, so it seems like a setting. what do you see for error message, when you click on the error icon bottom-left? [21:03] guntbert, what? [21:03] i 'm install ubuntu 8.10 n i have ubuntu 9.04 in pen drive so i want to upgrade ubuntu 8.10 to 9.04 through pen drive [21:03] ARMENIAN: ah.. where did you find it?

[21:04] How would i go about getting this to work .. Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device [21:04] Hi there :) Does anyone know what this: http://gtk2-perl.sourceforge.net/doc/gtk2-perl-tut/images/helloworld.png theme is??

[21:05] and my bios does not allow 2 boot from pen drive [21:05] suman, that sounds indeed weird. It does do an email check? or is it so fast you don't even see anything? [21:06] hi. i remember having a plugin for nautilus, which worked like tortoiseSVN for windows. unfortunately i could not find it on http://subversion.tigris.org/links.html#clients . It was integrated into Nautilus context menu and also the icons in svn folders were marked with little green or red symbols etc like with tortoise. does anyone have a clue whats the name of that tool/plugin? [21:06] flamsmark__: then nmap would be your tool, as frostburn said [21:06] hello eax but i dont know how to so plz tell me [21:06] ARMENIAN: it's probably not the same user.. it's probably an ip-range used for dhcp.. and that log is over 2 years old [21:06] hatter243: You still around? I gave it a shot. [21:06] st3vie: you know the send & receive mail dialog... that shows and it just stays like that...

[21:07] Slart: yeah, it probably isnt him, but yeah, the notfy-osd seems to be cleared with ever restart so this stuff should be logged somehwere else like the remote connections should all be logged somewhere else that doesnt get cleared [21:07] flamsmark__: if you want, I can scan you.. if you just want a one time check [21:07] flamsmark__: I'll do you once. [21:07] ARMENIAN: indeed.. I agree [21:08] Does anyone know what this: http://gtk2-perl.sourceforge.net/doc/gtk2-perl-tut/images/helloworld.png theme is??

[21:17] ARMENIAN: why not install rkhunter and let it search through your computer.. or even better.. boot from a live cd and scan it from there..

[22:40] it may not be xorg.conf, it may have to do with the driver [22:40] that the driver I installed doesn't load automatically [22:40] when it's plugged in [22:40] but only on boot [22:41] casd [22:41] although when I do lsmod, it does show a wacom driver [22:41] but that might be the limited built-in one [22:42] Hi , My Open Office is having very weird fonts and i cant fix it.... is there any way ? http://tinypic.com/m/4lftdj/4 <--- screenshot [22:42] billybigrigger: You around, bro?

[22:58] billybigrigger: I even tried going back through, selecting "no" for the framebuffer option... Same response. Everything else was related to the keyboard.

[22:59] StephenZuc: why re-install then unless you have deleted components [23:00] ikonia: Basically, whwnever it tries to run, my screen fills up with garbage and my inputs are nonresponsive. [23:00] StephenZuc: what video card do you have ? [23:00] ikonia: I may have corrupted components, is my thought. Uh, lemme think... [23:00] ikonia: Diamond Radeon 9550. [23:00] StephenZuc: why may you have corrupted components [23:00] hi [23:00] StephenZuc: what makes you think that ? [23:01] ikonia: Whenever Xorg tries to run, my system freezes up and my screen is covered with graphical garbage. [23:01] that does not mean you have corrupted anything - it's quite hard to corrupt something [23:01] how to set a password and email for my nick..any example [23:01] elli222: what file specifically are you trying to get back? [23:01] ikonia: Well, I don't know what else to do. [23:01] StephenZuc: ok - so lets look at it logcically [23:01] sensors.conf and sensors3.conf [23:02] StephenZuc: first thing to do is try the vesa xorg driver, have you done that yet ? [23:02] elli222: dpkg -S /etc/sensors.conf [23:02] i tried to mount the cdrom : mount /media/cdrom0/ ; the error was : /dev/scd0 does not exist [23:02] Can anyone help please?

[23:02] ikonia: I've never even heard of that, nor am I entirely certain HOW to "try" the vesa xorg driver.

[23:03] Hello. How can I make a PATH globally working? I tried adding GRAILS_HOME to /etc/profile and ran export, but does not work. Must I add it to each users .profile?

I'm running Ubuntu 9.04 and I have a problem. I've been using with a 17" Wide LCD monitor @ 1440x900, fine. But now, I need to plug into a LCD TV 32". The problem is that Ubuntu stucks @ 1024x768 and don't give me the wide options. Any idea? [23:04] it must be owned by some package :o [23:04] billybigrigger: This is a fresh install that I had running once after installation... Installed a ton of games and utilities (like lemon), then restarted after pulling down all the updates... [23:04] billybigrigger: These problems started on that restart. [23:04] well then ikonia might be right, you should try the vesa driver [23:04] StephenZuc::: get to a shell and sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf [23:04] ikonia: Alright, once I have that information, then what? [23:04] elli222: why not read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto [23:05] elli222: good luck (i must go) [23:05] Thanks, billybrigger. :) Then what?

[23:05] StephenZuc: look for a section "device" with an identifier that is your video card [23:05] Diamond ATI Radeon 9550. [23:06] racquad: how are you connecting to the monitor, hdmi, dvi? [23:06] anyone? any idea? [23:06] A little old, but it works...

[23:11] how do I put it in the sysctl file? [23:11] No Not a hardware problem because the problem have jsut 3 day's [23:11] Is Hardy 8.04 better for gaming than Jaunty 9.04? [23:11] sweetchildofmine: it's a text file [23:11] I see some values in there, but none of them have anything to do with cpuinfo. [23:12] Rev_::: that is the other way though tty = xserver pts = console [23:12] UbuntuBoy: that doesn't mean it's not a hardware problem [23:12] do I just echo the command to the file? [23:12] MK13: I don't think that's the case. because the TV is new and wide. It should support wide resolutions as well.. unfortunatly I don't have its part no to search the Internet [23:12] No Xp Run Correctly [23:12] billybigrigger, also, you could maybe help me further. I discovered top cause the system monitor wouldnt give me enough details about the cpu load. I just knew it was always 60% loaded. So when i type top i get this : [23:12] UbuntuBoy: that doesn't mean it's not a hardware problem [23:12] Rev_::: dont do it!!! [23:12] And Puppy Linux Run correctly but ubuntu no [23:12] UbuntuBoy: at what point does it lock up ? [23:12] Rev_::: don't paste here haha [23:12] Rev_::: pastebinit [23:12] billybigrigger, : 3632 root 20 0 4140 1328 656 R 29.9 0.1 15:32.57 mount.ntfs-3g [23:13] billybigrigger, just one line is ok, right? [23:13] Rev_::: haha yeah thank god [23:13] racquad: does the tv have hdmi input? [23:13] Rev_::: so what's the problem? [23:13] so, here, CPU load is the "29.9" % column [23:13] i Don't have this problems all day but somtimes [23:13] UbuntuBoy: at what point does it lock up ? [23:13] can I start and stop a separate X screen ( on the TV ) when I want. I think it's stupid to run all the time [23:13] Rev_::: yeah [23:13] MK13: yes, it has. [23:13] Does anyone know how to get nvidia working with nvidia geforce 5500 fx. I can't seem to get it working.. [23:13] test [23:13] Rev_::: i would trust top over system monitor [23:13] billybigrigger, isnt it a little too much to use 1/3 of the cpu all the time just to have some ntfs filesystmem mounted? [23:14] Unpredictable::: your going to need to install legacy nvidia drivers [23:14] racquad: then the vga input is probably limited seeing as the hdmi is the main input [23:14] Rev_::: well something must writing to it [23:14] billybigrigger: where do I get them and why legacy? [23:14] I Think the problem is caused by Screenlets [23:14] remove the screenlets then and test [23:14] Rev_::: maybe a bug in ntfs-3g i don't know, i don't use it [23:14] How do you install specific drivers? [23:14] Unpredictable::: ubuntu 9.04? [23:14] billybigrigger: yes [23:14] Because the day of my installation of the screen Lets i Have this problems [23:14] billybigrigger, it is cause i am downloading a linux iso to my windows partition. so, is it the reason you think? [23:14] leguille for what ? [23:15] billybigrigger, no extra problem? [23:15] MK13: maybe, but I still think not likely [23:15] Rev_::: exactly why [23:15] UbuntuBoy: then remove the screenlets and test [23:15] Ok [23:15] billybigrigger, then, its great. Thanks for all your answers. [23:15] Rev_::: you should have mentioned that earlier :P [23:15] xcera: Ubuntu 9.04, I am trying to install the updated driver for an AMD Athlon 1200 series [23:15] its integrated [23:15] Unpredictable::: System>Administration>Hardware Drivers [23:15] Unpredictable::: is there anything in there that suggests you can use an nvidia driver?

Any ideas? [23:16] billybigrigger, thanks :) [23:16] I don't think this problem caused by screenlets thats just an suggeste [23:17] Rev_::: np [23:17] billybigrigger: yes the 96 and 173. But i've tried it this way plus ive tried install directly from nvidia but I got out of range then blank screen then I formated. If I use 173 from hardware I can only shuffle between 2 super low resolutions 640 being highest [23:17] UbuntuBoy: you just said you did think it was caused by screenlets [23:17] UbuntuBoy: remove the screenlets and test [23:17] ok [23:17] lol [23:17] Unpredictable::: oh god, you've got quite a mess then haha [23:17] billybigrigger: Yeah...

[23:31] Would anyone be able to help me with mplayer please? [23:32] b3nw::: sudo apt-get install sox === marioxcc is now known as Gran_se [23:32] sebsebseb: i wonder if you know what is linux mint...

[23:32] ok ok [23:33] thx... [23:33] Um_cara_qualquer: MInt is a Linux distro that is based on Ubuntu [23:33] billybigrigger: okay im back so do I delete all of my stuff and put yours? or just the screen section part or what. Im new to linux so bare with me [23:33] np [23:33] out a boy [23:33] whenever i open a dvd with mplayer i get the following error: "seek failed" [23:33] billybigrigger - testing.... same error with sox installed, see if you can play it? http://files.getdropbox.com/u/56629/Tink.aiff [23:33] Unpredictable::: ya copy and paste that sample INTO your screen sections [23:35] b3nw::: ill try, won't mean much, as im running 9.10 not 9.04 [23:35] billybigrigger - if it works for you least know it can work [23:35] Playing Tink.aiff. [23:35] MPEG: Missing video stream!? Contact the author, it may be a bug :( [23:35] billybigrigger - >.> [23:37] join #ubuntu-it [23:38] billybigrigger: look at my xorg and see if it looks ok b4 I reboot. http://pastebin.com/m3d83e38a [23:38] how do i always manage to screw things up, i disabled gdm to install video card drivers and i re-enabled it and in the top right corner it doesnt have the icon to shutdown/restart/etc [23:39] Unpredictable::: no [23:39] Unpredictable::: take another look [23:39] Rob235, right click and add to panel.. [23:39] billybigrigger: at what part? [23:39] if you remove the switch user applet the shutdown, restart,... are added to the system menu, dunnu if this helps [23:39] Unpredictable::: read it from top to bottom, there's 2 things wrong with it [23:39] hey, i just installed ubuntu 9.04 and my preferred resolution isnt available... [23:39] Unpredictable::: HINT montior and device [23:40] Unpredictable::: HINT they don't match [23:40] oh yea i saw an error about switch user ended abruptly or something, so what can i do [23:40] billybigrigger, is condescension that necessary? [23:40] billybigrigger: lol which part. I meaN i copied what u had, dang im dumb. [23:40] hello i am able to use console audio progs from gnome-terminal but not from a pure console. how can i fix this? [23:41] Unpredictable::: not dumb, your just not looking [23:41] Unpredictable::: Identifier "Configured Monitor" [23:41] billybigrigger: is it the part I copied in or my part I already had [23:41] Unpredictable::: Monitor "My Monitor" [23:41] Unpredictable::: same with your Device [23:41] they don't match [23:41] make them match [23:42] hint, make the text inside of " " match [23:42] make it whatever you want [23:42] unpredictable? [23:42] billybigrigger: so where it says my monitor. make it say configured? [23:42] Unpredictable::: sure [23:42] what is that? [23:43] billybigrigger: and where it says configured device make it also say configured monitor? or no [23:43] no [23:43] your 2 montiors must match each other [23:43] adobe wont let me click allow or deny for my webcam and mic in firefox [23:43] your 2 devices must match each other [23:44] is there a way to fix that? [23:44] I have the same challenge : two monitors that are different sizes - right now, there's a "blindspot" below the smaller monitor. [23:44] got ya [23:44] js [23:44] my two monitors are acting up, too! [23:45] I'm wondering if using the NVIDIA X Server settings might help. There's an option, "Separate X screen (requires X restart)", how do I get the X restart to happend? [23:45] billybigrigger: thx for being patient, 2nd day using linux.. [23:45] Unpredictable::: no problem [23:45] billybigrigger: is this what u want?http://pastebin.com/m7d8cfead [23:46] Unpredictable::: im not here to do all the grunt work though :P you might have to use the old noggin a bit yourself :P [23:46] Unpredictable::: its not what i want [23:46] TomV-415, which version of ubuntu? [23:46] Unpredictable::: your the one that wants it :P [23:46] the "TwinView" mode assumes the monitors are the same size. Windoz seems to be able to adjust to the different size monitors... maximize works in the current windw. [23:46] billybigrigger: ok is that what I want? [23:46] lol [23:46] I'm using 9.04 now, same issue in 8.04 before my upgrade. [23:46] Unpredictable::: but yes, that looks better [23:46] hi [23:46] billybigrigger: ok save and reboot correct? [23:47] TomV-415, alt sysrq k will restart X [23:47] TomV-415::: install nvidia-xserver-settings [23:47] is that a no? [23:47] TomV-415::: my bad, nvidia-settings [23:47] Unpredictable::: yes, giver [23:47] brb [23:48] bastidrazor: thanks - I'll try that. [23:48] What command do I need to enter upon connecting to a irc room? [23:48] How should I request a package in Ubuntu repos to be updated to the latest available version upstream? [23:48] billybigrigger: thanks I'l try that too! [23:48] he's not very unpredictable if he tells us he's coming back now is he [23:48] maybe if he doesn't come back he will live up to his name [23:48] No package 'pygtk-2.0' found [23:48] -- sudo apt-get install pygtk-2.0 [23:48] TomV-415, run nvidia-settings if things don't work out right this time around. sudo nvidia-settings [23:48] doesn't work [23:48] !gksudo [23:48] If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [23:49] DigitalKiwi::: well if he doesn't come back there's always hope his problem is fixed [23:50] I use network-manager-vpnc with a cisco vpn. worked fine in 8.10. since 9.04, the connection stops working entirely (everything times out, no DNS, but connection does NOT drop) exactly eight hours after connecting, and the syslog starts saying 'HMAC mismatch in ESP mode' repeatedly. server has a timeout, but it's 24h. google reveals nothing enlightening. ideas? [23:50] Unpredictable::: any luck? [23:50] billybigrigger: no and I went to settings and still the same 2 lame resos :( [23:50] Unpredictable: we have taken a vote and decided you need to change your name to "Predictable" [23:50] Unpredictable::: sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings [23:50] !audio [23:50] 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 [23:51] Unpredictable::: and yes, DigitalKiwi is right, before you get anymore help you MUST change your name, since saying your coming back isn't Unpredictable [23:51] ^_^ [23:51] billybigrigger: lol how about ill change it to retard :). so why do I need to get nvidia settings again if I have it? [23:52] Unpredictable::: run nvidia settings, its a window$-like nvidia config === Unpredictable is now known as Predictable [23:52] :) [23:52] Unpredictable::: you should be able to change screen resolutions there [23:52] Predictable::: there we go :P [23:52] lmao [23:52] that made my day, thanks [23:52] aaditya: you can add a bug to the package in question on bugs.launchpad.net and mark it as wishlist (feature request) perhaps [23:52] billybigrigger: I did try to run it I never did redownload it, but I did run it and thats where I only have 2 settings of resolutions. [23:52] hmm [23:52] glitsj16: thanks [23:53] system,admin, nvidia settins right? It install when i got drivers [23:53] I installed compiz-fusion, but I can't seem to find out how to use the things I'm enabling, like desktop-cube. Google says ctrl+alt+mouse, but that doesn't seem to work - am i missing something? [23:53] fuffalo: ccsm is a nice tool to configure compiz [23:53] That's what I'm using [23:53] Predictable::: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1183938 [23:53] billybigrigger: yeah thats where ive been going to see if I could change resolution. [23:54] Predictable::: try some settings from that post [23:54] fuffalo i wld just reset the key bindings to something u like. [23:54] fuffalo: how did you start compiz after installing it? [23:54] and have u enabled rotate cube? [23:54] Predictable::: im going to grab some grub, and will be back if you need further assistance [23:54] oh I didn't enable cube rotation :> [23:54] Predictable::: there are some other xorg.conf options you can try out in that post i sent you [23:54] That would be the problem.. ;p [23:54] billybigrigger: ok thx [23:54] fuffalo: did you try this for the desktop cube: Ctrl + Alt + drag the desktop using your mouse [23:55] I just needed to enable rotation as well, that's working [23:55] And what do i use to show all open windows at once? Which plugin is that? [23:55] !compiz [23:55] Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz [23:55] fuffalo: Scale is like OS X's Exposé [23:56] ahh cool, thanks eevee [23:56] fuffalo: there's also another plugin that lets you type while Scale is active and filter by window title, which is cool [23:57] is 85° a normal temperature for a video card? [23:58] hey [23:59] Anyone found a good solution to Flash 10's prolem where video studders when it's full screen in Jaunty? === mike is now known as Guest97233 [23:59] i have a geforce 4 when i enable the drivers i get a black screen after reboot. The black screen comes right where the login screen should be [23:59] I was going to build a media PC with Ubuntu but this is a dealbreaker :-) [23:59] anyone can help me reinstalling a wifi card which already appears on lspci?
