[00:58] edbian: yes, thank you [00:59] hey guys... can someone help me out? trying to telnet to a vmware guest from 9.04 using named pipe... not sure how to configure [00:59] tigerplug::: ? [00:59] tigerplug::: whats the problem? telnet HOST PORT [00:59] tigerplug: Virtualbox is usually better than VMware now :) you can even use your VMDK files in it, and you can try #vmware for your issue [01:00] billybigrigger, I need to connect to a juniper router running in vmware directly through the console port without using a physical cable. So I guess named pipe is the way [01:00] sebsebseb, [01:00] sebsebseb, yes it is but I am using a juniper vmware image that can only be used properly in vmware [01:00] tigerplug: what's that? [01:01] hey guys. i'm having trouble recording sound from line-in. the built-in mic on the computer is working fine, as are any USB microphones i plug in, but line-in is no good. can anyone help? [01:01] if I cannot find telnetd or telnetd-ssl in /etc/init.d/ that means it is not installed, right? [01:01] edbian: how can I apply permissions of 777 to a removeable drive such as a WD My Book? [01:02] lich0r: sshd [01:02] lich0r: generally serves instead [01:02] edbian: I tried doing chmod 777 /media/My Book, but that did not work [01:02] sebsebseb - its juniper singtel router [01:03] tigerplug: ok never heard of that [01:03] lich0r: telnet is not a standard (or reccommended) way to connect to an ubuntu box... reccommended way is to use openssh [01:03] jdu, I was told openssh instead? My biggest priority is to make sure the other two are off, because before I realized what I was doing was insecure I installed them. Though telnetd was supposedly uninstalled by telnetd-ssl [01:04] lich0r: portscan yourself [01:04] fccf: thanks for the ppa tip - have 2.6.28 kernel now [01:04] lich0r: yes, so if they are not in /etc/init.d, they should not be there. you can always check with a portscan or ps [01:04] sedontane: woo hoo... I like pointing people in the right direction [01:04] * lich0r is installing nmap [01:05] sedontane: well it was my tip originally :) [01:05] sedontane: anyway can't you get 2.6.30 in 8.10 ? [01:05] true and thanks to you too sebsebseb - you were quoted in my original plea to fccf for help [01:05] sedontane: as a ppa? [01:05] sedontane: yep I saw that [01:05] not straight off - anyways if this works no need [01:05] sebsebseb: and credit is also given to you .. needed 2.6.28 [01:06] fccf, are there any other places I should check? What if I wanted to remove another services without using the GUI? Would it always be in /etc/init.d ? [01:06] fccf: yeah for some reason he apparantly needed that one, or possibily later [01:06] a package needed 2.6.28 to compile [01:06] fccf, it says all 1000 ports scanned are closed [01:06] v4l-dvb [01:07] sedontane: what's that? [01:07] lich0r: thats where it would normally load from ... you can always do an apt-get remove --purge telnetd telnetd-ssh ... to remove all configs for telnet [01:08] fccf, ahh 'apt-get remove --purge telnetd telnetd-ssh' I didn't know that was the proper syntax for remove. [01:09] lich0r: sudo of course ... but the --purge option would remove all configs as well === sivel[a] is now known as sivel [01:10] hey. does anyone have any idea how to get my computer to record from the external (line-in), rather than internal, microphone? [01:11] sebsebseb: it is a set of drivers for tv cards [01:12] sedontane: oh ok [01:12] and it still wont compile - darn thing [01:12] Greets all [01:13] welcome [01:13] sorry if this was asked before, but is their an application for connecting your iPod to Ubuntu?

I'm trying to adjust some X settings via an SSH session. can someone tell me the correct syntax to declare a display (or maybe i need a screen declaration?) in the following command line: 'xrandr --output LVDS --off" [01:18] I assume it's something similar to "xrandr -d 0 --output LVDS --off" but I can't seem to get it nailed down [01:18] sedontane: ok cool, and when it's time for 9.10, I suggest you do a clean install :) [01:18] i hate usb devices. thew support for them seems to utterly suck [01:19] sedontane: if you do not mind me asking what tv tuner card do you have that you had to upgrade the kernel [01:19] sedontane: or stay with 8.10 untill 10.04 or something [01:19] i cant even use na usb mouse or keyboard [01:19] so brothers, and sisters, would you help me please?, Iam trying to set a server up, for our home-busisness [01:20] Hauppage NOVA-TD 500, it wasnt the card - its the IR reciever [01:20] but i realize that ubuntu server doesn't have a GUI,, and thats bad for me, [01:20] vdmpeniel: you can install one [01:20] sedontane: card works? IR doesn't? -- install lirc [01:20] I totally borked my system, no sue what happened [01:20] can someone explain to me why whenever a programme using a usb device crashes it never lets go of that usb device. or explain to me how to make it let go? [01:20] vdmpeniel: decide on what control panel to use and it will have a tutorial to do it [01:21] sedontane: ok thanks [01:21] how can i install a GUI for Ubuntu server 64 bits [01:21] ???????????? [01:21] nebulae: what did you do? [01:21] vdmpeniel, you can use a regular install and then install just the parts you need. :) [01:21] vdmpeniel, use ebox to administer the server [01:21] was running 8.10, upgraded to 9.04, everything was fine until my first update [01:21] fccf: it was installed (back on 9.04) wouldnt work at all [01:21] then complete chaos [01:21] whats that? [01:21] vdmpeniel: I haven't used the server version, but I think you can sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop for Gnome [01:21] vdmpeniel: If you've already got the CLI, I think you just apt-get something like xubuntu-desktop/kubuntu-desktop, etc [01:21] vdmpeniel: probably much better doing what Cabrey suggested thoug [01:21] h [01:21] low graphics mode, couldn upgrade or install or --fix-broken [01:21] !ebox | vdmpeniel [01:21] vdmpeniel: ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox [01:22] just bad everywhere. sad. [01:22] vdmpeniel: you can run the command sudo apt-get install gnome-core" === jon is now known as asciiforever [01:23] nebukan: Have you tried installing fresh from a live Jaunty cd? [01:23] cabrey: Now you've got me intrigued -- would eBox function well in a home-domain environment, or is it really more suited for corporate? [01:23] thank you guys you are amazing, thats why I do love ubuntu and opensource [01:23] fccf: problem was that ubuntu didnt even see IR reciever - hopefully this will fix it [01:23] Im doing that now, soreau [01:23] vdmpeniel: as I was trying to say, run "sudo apt-get install gnome-core" and it'll install the gnome desktop without all the extras you won't need on a server, such as openoffice and evolution [01:23] well, i didnt format, im hoping it installs over everything but my home foler [01:23] folder^^ [01:23] OneirosFade, it's good for small-business/home and are you talking about a windows domain? [01:24] can someone explain to me why whenever a programme using a usb device/module is crashes it never lets go of that usb device/module. or explain to me how to make it let go? [01:24] @yowshi: sudo umount -l /path/to/usb/device [01:24] Actually I wanna use all my graphic stuff, and you know the cube desktop and everything [01:24] so we'll see. what a pain in the ass. If I see another segmentation fault error, I might have to rip my eyeballs out [01:24] Well I've got one multibooter (XP/Ubuntu), a Fedora laptop, wife's XP laptop, a 486, and an XP media PC (hoping to Linuxize it this weekend) -- but I'm going to be putting in a central server for files, domain, etc [01:25] the server doesn't need to be super secure, all i want is to share resources, and control the flow and other machines [01:25] vdmpeniel: Did you need some help with it? [01:25] gaddzilla: i went through the unmount and modprobe -r atempts with my webcam but because tghe now defunct process which cant be killed is still using tyhe device unmount cant unmount because the device is busy [01:25] Hello all [01:25] Hey canuckles [01:25] @yowshi did you try the -l switch? [01:26] i am a new convert to linux [01:26] new to ubuntu aswell [01:26] canuckles: You've made a bold and wise decision. Welcome :) [01:26] gaddzilla: no i dont think so [01:26] 54% installing system :) [01:26] OneirosFade, a universal file server is _so_ undervalued, let me tell you [01:26] i have what may seem to be a minor question to some [01:26] is ubuntu base on what kernel? i [01:26] i mean is it like debian? [01:26] i want to gert rid on my duel boot [01:26] @yowshi: try it again with -l, like so: "sudo umount -l /mnt/usbdevicename" [01:26] cabrey: How do you mean (universal) -- centralized for the domain, or something else? [01:26] dueling boots :) heheh [01:26] no more XP [01:27] O yes it will be nice, to have help , in the same way if any of you need help with the design part of any project, just tell me [01:27] OneirosFade, it can run samba, netatalk, NFS, ftp, etc [01:27] @aboyz: it's built on debian and shares several similarities [01:27] gaddzilla: i will try that the next time it happens [01:27] I have an Itunes question [01:27] hey guys, why isn't songbird launching? when i run it from terminal it gives me this: michael@michael-laptop:~$ songbird [01:27] Segmentation fault [01:27] my email is VDMpeniel@yahoo.es [01:27] Ah, yeah [01:27] canuckles: Then you can start gparted, delete the xp partition and resize the ubuntu one. Delete the entry in /boot/grub/menu.lst and be done [01:27] i still need XP for syncing my ipod touch [01:27] Hi, i'm trying to install windows 7 in virtualbox while running jaunty [01:28] ubuntu is base on debian.. nice.. [01:28] Hi, i'm trying to install windows 7 in virtualbox while running jaunty. How do I get sound to work in Windows 7. Do I select Oss, Alsa or Pulseaudio? [01:28] is there a way to sync you ipod touch with ubuntu ? [01:28] knasto: Maybe try the vbox website? It's quite helpful [01:28] knasto, in virtualbox settings you mean? [01:28] knasto, generally, pulse is your friend [01:28] knasto, if you're running ubuntu, use pulseaudio [01:28] yes cabrey [01:28] canuckles: Pretty sure there is -- I use Rhythmbox for my Nano 2ndGen [01:28] canuckles: Yes, with songbird [01:28] ok [01:29] oh [01:29] let me try that cabrey [01:29] Iam christian and any christ-centred project would be a pleasure, as well as just help you make linux world look nicer! [01:29] songbird works to sync ipod touch? [01:29] on the ubuntu server edition.. no GUI right? [01:29] thank you guys, and [01:29] i want my server to be clean as possible..

[01:30] evening all, since there is a bug in openoffice is it best to unistall and download it from the webste [01:30] :-Dthanks Soreai [01:30] Soreau [01:30] aboyz: semantics and a whole load of arguing [01:30] or what make ubuntu better then debian? [01:30] is it just the Kunubutu desktop [01:31] aboyz: depends on everything - hardware, purpose, etc [01:31] where do i get songbird? [01:31] i install unbuntu [01:31] will it download podcasts? [01:31] see how smooth it runs [01:31] canuckles: I don't see why not http://www.ipodtouchfans.com/forums/showthread.php?t=33754 hehe ;) [01:31] aboyz: try the live CD [01:32] may the Lord bless you!!!! [01:32] canuckles: Sorry, I think the touch is actually encrypted by apple to use only iTunes [01:32] ohh man you got me all excited! [01:32] But you can hack it if you want [01:32] vdmpeniel: may he bless you too [01:32] they tried to make me go with redhat... I say no no no [01:32] soreau: Say what? [01:32] so i am stuck using XP? [01:33] OneirosFade: what? [01:33] I'd not heard that before [01:33] canuckles, what I did is install windows 7 in virtualbox for itunes to run, [01:33] evening all, since there is a bug in openoffice is it best to unistall and download it from the webste [01:33] but does it run properly? [01:33] so i run windows 7 in ubuntu for 2 reasons - netflix & itunes [01:33] i tried that with wine [01:33] runs like a dream :) [01:33] way better then wine [01:34] plus, it runs seamless, so its like having a second start menu [01:34] sorry i am a newbie at ubuntu [01:34] check it out - VirtualBox OSE [01:34] how do i get/run virtualbox? [01:34] google it [01:34] sun.com [01:34] its by sun [01:34] does virtual box come with windos 7? [01:34] windows 7 has a 1 year triel too [01:34] no [01:34] whats better than wine? [01:34] lol [01:35] no, you have to download it seperate [01:35] beer [01:35] lol [01:35] but it has a 1 year trial [01:35] cabrey and lupine_85 thanx, i used pulseaudio and ran a windows update and now sound works [01:35] then what after one year??

I'm not finding the -dev extensions I'm used to finding in earlier versions. [01:35] canuckles, get songbird from here: http://www.getdeb.net/app/Songbird [01:35] is there anyone here that are really good at grub? I have lost my boot device...:-( [01:35] crack open your walet [01:35] knasto, yay! :) [01:36] touche. [01:36] but does songbird sync with ipod touch cabrey ? [01:36] ok, just finished reinstalling 9.04, rebooting, [01:36] canuckles, ahhh if you hack it, i think there is an addon for songbird [01:36] everyone cross your fingers for me [01:36] choas2fu did you lose the menu? [01:36] cabrey, you said that pulseaudio is your friend, but ive heard that its bad compared to alsa and oss. What exactly is the diffrence? [01:36] I'm not seeing anything on the interwebs about the iP-T being setup for iTunes only, or specially encrypted, or anything... may be missing something, though [01:36] my ipod touch is already jailbroken === Shinto is now known as CHC [01:37] canuckles, i have an iphone and nothing works for it except itunes, but its not jailbroke so... I dunno [01:37] Just made the switch! [01:37] knasto, i didn't say it was your friend haha but it acts as a proxy for most/all apps so that you can control volume, etc with advanced features [01:37] can i run XP in virtual box? [01:38] hey cxo [01:38] mee tooo [01:38] !grub | chaos2fu [01:38] hello [01:38] chaos2fu: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [01:38] everything looks good so far... [01:38] having some teething issues 1) How do you sudo without a password? i uncommented the line for NOPASSWD and %sudo, but still no go [01:38] you can run xp yes [01:38] canuckles, you can run any os in virtualbox [01:38] you said it was sun.com ? [01:38] cabrey, ok i see [01:38] fccf: I saw somewhere a command line way to test my remote but i cant frind the reference anywhere - any more finger waggling you can do for me? [01:38] I have an ipod nano that seems to be lame; it appears to look and work normally when in stand-alone mode or managing it with amarok, but no music and putting music on appears to work but it doesn't show up when undocked. [01:39] How do I reinstall the sucker from scratch with just an ubuntu box? [01:39] 2) I tried to delete most of my gnome config stuff from ~/ but i think a few things are still lingering from my fc11 install, for example, i have no window manager when i login, i have to start metacity manually [01:39] How do I reinstall an ipod nano from scratch with just an ubuntu box? [01:39] my ipod shuffle works fine with banshee or rythym box === Mitch_ is now known as Guest72588 [01:40] what's about the gnome3.0 and gnome shell? is there any development? [01:40] so passwords are stored in /etc/shadow in encrypted form + salt. I thought sha512 needs 16bits, why is the salt 15 or 14 characters? [01:40] luis__, use !ot for that [01:40] hahah! all looks good! yay! === free is now known as tannerS [01:40] gz [01:40] I saw somewhere a command line way to test my remote but i cant frind the reference anywhere - anyone have it? [01:40] ok thanks luis_ im looking into it now...:-) reporting back within five [01:40] guys, how big should the ubuntu swap partition be? [01:41] tannerS, how much ram do you have? [01:41] 4hb [01:41] *gb [01:41] tannerS, do you plan on using hibernation? [01:41] i'm not the only one having a problem signing in to Y!M on pidgin, right? what seems to be the problem? [01:41] !ot | luis__ [01:41] luis__: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [01:41] tannerS: There are vrious theories on that, but the generally accepted rule of thumb appears to be "as much as your ram" or sometimes "twice as much as your ram". [01:41] hey guys i dunno if anyone else has noticed this but flash videos seem choppy on jaunty in fullscreen for me [01:41] was wondering if anyone else is having those problems [01:41] cabrey dont know what that is so no [01:42] tannerS, where the machine turns off, but saves the staete [01:42] state* [01:42] tannerS, 2GB should be fine, but you could settle for 4GB if you want [01:42] tannerS: I lean towards the latter, since I only have 2GB of RAM and 4GB of disk is not a hardshipo to give up. Also, I have a laptop and I have this feeling (uconfirmed) that swap is used for hibernation. [01:43] puff, he would have to give up 8gb of space for something he will probably never use [01:43] cabrey/puff so if i have 4gb its ok and maybe even better if i have 8 gb? [01:43] RoR what codec r u using? [01:43] tannerS, stick with 4gb, 8gb is overkill (major) [01:43] there seems too be alot of people who cant sign into yahoo today.... me included [01:43] I saw somewhere a command line way to test my remote control but i cant frind the reference anywhere - anyone have it? [01:44] cabrey but even if i out 8 gb which i dont care much about ti cant hurt anythign can it? [01:44] RORgasm: if you are running compiz, you might get better results if you uncheck the option "Unredirect fullscreen windows" in ccsm (under "general options") [01:44] how do i knwo if i should download i386 or amd64? [01:44] intel or AMD? [01:44] canuckles: what processor do you have? [01:44] cabrey: If you havef a terabyte disk, 4 etra ig is nothinhg, but yeah, like I said,. [01:44] Dang, my network is all laggy. Wireless is bringing back the feel of the early days of the net. [01:44] intel duel core [01:44] tannerS, no you can't lose anything but think about this: 8gb is the size of my ubuntu install right now :P [01:45] canuckles, amd64 is 64 bit [01:45] Ooh, gotta go dine. Ciao all [01:45] lol mys 40 gb :P === jay is now known as Guest14016 [01:45] canuckles: then you can run either, amd64 may provide some benefit even in certain situations [01:45] tannerS, yea stick with 4gb [01:45] glitsj16, i actually thought compiz might be causing the porblems so i've turned it off lately....ok so where is this Unredirect fullscreen windows? [01:45] ok [01:45] tannerS, that would be almost 25% of your hdd unusable :/ [01:45] Dangit, googling on linux and ipod gets me lots of "how to install linux on your ipod", which I don't want. [01:45] i tried other dow=nloads with i386 and got install errors [01:46] cabrey 8gb? :S [01:46] canuckles, do you have 32 bit or 64 bit? [01:46] i dunno [01:46] lol [01:46] canuckles, which image did you download to install ubuntu? [01:46] lol [01:46] sorry not sure [01:47] RORgasm: use compizconfig-settings-manager (install that if you haven't got it already) and run ccsm to get to the settings window ... the "Unredirect fullscreen windows" is under the "General Options" ... [01:47] I saw somewhere a command line way to test my remote control but i cant frind the reference anywhere - anyone have it? [01:47] canuckles, paste the output of uname -a in a terminal [01:48] Linux ubuntu 2.6.28-11-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 17 01:58:03 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux [01:48] does skype freeze like mad on anyone else's 9.04? [01:48] canuckles, download the amd64 package [01:48] RORgasm: but if you still got the issue when compiz isn't running chances are slim that will make a difference :) [01:48] thx Cab [01:48] is there a neat gui that does the same thing as psnup? [01:49] funkycat90210, enlighten us what 'psnup' is [01:49] glitsj16, huh i have that checked already === jay is now known as Guest68229 [01:49] cabrey: psnup allows you to format code for printing, you can put mult pages on one page, bold syntax, etc. [01:50] basically takes a text file and spits out a .ps file [01:50] having lots of trouble getting on yahoo via pidgin too [01:50] why does it say segmentation fault when i try to launch songbird? [01:50] where do i find virtual box exe to launch ? [01:50] RORgasm: you need to uncheck it [01:50] glitsj16, oh [01:50] sedontane: you using lirc? [01:51] luis__ thanks man, it worked! have a good night [01:51] canuckles, I think under apps - system tools - Sun VirtualBox [01:51] Im just reinstalling it myself [01:51] funkycat90210, hmm maybe if you used a synax highlighting text editor? [01:51] what is the path to the sources and headers folders? [01:52] canuckles: which VirtualBox [01:52] /usr/bin/VirtualBox [01:52] for ubuntu [01:52] DR.Willis [01:53] how do I add /usr/local/lib to my path for libraries [01:53] how do i navigate there from desktop? [01:53] canuckles: bash basics? the 'cd' command.. why do you need to? You may want to read a few shell tutorial guides... [01:53] glitsj16, no that didn't help [01:54] glicks, what i don't understand is it was working fine on 8.10 [01:54] hi! a process is connection my yahoo messenger although i'm not quite sure what [01:54] !tab | canuckles [01:54] canuckles: You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.

[03:12] steven_, install ubuntu-restricted-extras [03:12] jrib, k what do u think about the size? [03:13] steven_: if your referring to mp3 and such no [03:13] is there anything in ubuntu 9.04 that requires an i686 CPU? [03:13] RORgasm: size is what lspci gives for that region [03:13] Zxcvb, it's compiled with i386 in mind [03:13] moin [03:13] RORgasm: what is your lspci -vvnn output? [03:14] cabrey: just checking, because the xcore86 based netbooks are i586 and therefore won't have cmov and such (I think atom is i686) [03:14] How can I make backspace do back in firefox like in Mac and Windows? [03:14] Zxcvb, yes atoms are i686 [03:14] were would I find ubuntu restricted extra's? [03:14] steven_, in a terminal: sudo aptitude install ubuntu-restricted-extras [03:14] jrib, it would appear that I need to grant permission to the file to overwrite itself. Any idea how I do that with apache2, preferably without letting the file overwrite anything but itself? [03:15] cabrey: does having i686 make that much difference if it is roughly the same speed just without the extra instructions? [03:15] Papageno: about:config browser.backspace_action see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.backspace_action [03:15] elad`: nope, I'm not sure that's even possible [03:15] Zxcvb, I don't have anything to compare against, but I use adam's netbook kernel [03:15] jrib, http://pastie.org/517193 just look at the in the VGA compatiple controller part i think the rest is irrelevant [03:15] cabrey: is it compiled for i686, or is it an i486 kernel?

[03:16] this linux mint os ie derived of ubuntu isn't all that well at least to me, so I am gonna go back to ubuntu, currently downloading Ubuntu 9.04 [03:16] cabrey: won't work then, will probably go for a custom kernel [03:16] I have a laptop and an external monitor and a nvidia graphics card.

[03:23] glitsj16, i fixed my flash problem [03:23] n2diy, if thats what cat /etc/mtab returns then yes [03:23] I was susprised to find that ubuntu actually lets me use my USB speakers [03:23] !java [03:23] To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository [03:23] jrib: no, localhost is connection refused...weird [03:23] How do I get the file,view,help bar back in applications such as gnome-xchat and pidgin? it is still present in Firefox and open office. [03:23] mib_x6iuiqx6: you are making sure to use port 30000? [03:24] even with all that power I refuse to run windows xp or vista [03:24] lol [03:24] lol [03:24] lol steven_ .. [03:24] !lol [03:24] Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. [03:24] jrib: yes, ssh -p30000 ; this is actually the second time i am setting it up - last time, i thought i was locked out, but it worked when i restarted the server [03:24] what platform does ubuntu run best in [03:24] Titan8990: ok, thanks. If it is not recommended, why are you recommending it? :) Thiis is a concept I'm having trouble grasping. [03:25] jrib: but if i restart the server and i can't log in, then i'm screwed [03:25] built the machine myself total cost $600 which included my cube case and 19" flat panel monitor and it the best computer I have ever had [03:25] n2diy, dd can interact with because it actually alters the bits on a low level [03:25] hello, I have a laptop and an external monitor and a nvidia graphics card. I want to set the external monitor to be vertical and the laptop monitor to be horozontal. I'm using ubuntu 9.04, the nvidia driver 185.18.14, and twinview. does anyone know how I could do this? my xorg.conf file looks like this: http://pastebin.com/m6a50fcee and my Xorg.0.log file looks like this: http://pastebin.com/m5925d3eb [03:25] n2diy, its possible, because dd has not concept of a filesystem [03:25] mib_x6iuiqx6: wait, you've restarted since changing the sshd config file to use port 30000 right? [03:25] mib_x6iuiqx6: restarted sshd I mean [03:25] n2diy, it just writes random ones or zeros to each bit [03:26] n2diy, dd would make all space as "unused" but would not alter the bits [03:26] jrib: yes restarted sshd, not restarted the entire server [03:26] how do i download the latest java [03:26] n2diy, sorry, rm would mark it as unused [03:26] jrib: i meant last time i installed, i restarted the entire server and it worked [03:26] mib_x6iuiqx6: make sure sshing with the old port doesn't work (locally again) [03:26] enduser000: you'll proabably need to specify the geometries for both screens, and set a rotation on the one that's vertical. [03:26] enduser000: try this and remember google is your friend http://www.chrisamiller.com/blog/2008/05/11/rotating-one-monitor-with-ubuntu/ [03:26] How can I upgrade from php 5.2.6 ( Inbuilt in Ubuntu 9.04 Server ed.) to latest stable ver. php 5.2.9 ? [03:27] Titan8990: ok, but I'm not playiing with dd, I'm playing with sbackup, which is using tar. I've got sbackup working, but erasing the flash drive is a pita. [03:27] What is the channel for ubuntu beginning programming? [03:27] jrib: so you mean try to ssh to myself (i.e. ssh localhost) on the server where i am logged in, or the computer i am using to ssh to the server [03:27] How do I get the file,view,help bar back in applications such as gnome-xchat and pidgin? it is still present in Firefox and open office. [03:27] irc://66.252.24.163/ [03:27] mib_x6iuiqx6: ssh localhost [03:27] n2diy, why is that? [03:27] can somebody tell me how to setup my monitor I have ubuntu 9.04 [03:27] guys when grub ask me to choose whioch os to load i have 2 ubuntu and oens old how do i remove it [03:27] for search use google.com the best and for the best DNS servers use opendns... cant go wrong [03:27] n2diy, MOUNTPOINT = /media/disk; rm -rf $MOUNTPOINT [03:28] tannersummers_: Remove those linux kernel versions via synaptic [03:28] I just put this monitor today and the resolution is off I would like to change it [03:28] jrib: on the computer that i am using to ssh into the server, when i type ssh localhost it refuses the connection on port 22 [03:28] n2diy, you can edit fstab to ensure that the flash drive is always mounted to the same location [03:28] Titan8990: rm -r /dev/sdb1 returns device busy errors, and so does rm -r /media/disk [03:28] TroN: what kind of video card are you using? [03:28] an intel [03:29] my res on my monitor is 1440x900 [03:29] that would most likely be the problem [03:29] is a built in chipset video card [03:29] n2diy: unmount /media/disk [03:29] n2diy, look at what I said again [03:29] n2diy, rm -rf [03:29] what platform does ubuntu run best in [03:29] if you just setup Ubuntu, you are going to have to get the config setup manually [03:29] Cpudan80, how is unmounting it going to help him delete the files? [03:29] oh he's actually trying to delete everything from the drive? [03:29] Titan8990: rf? f= force?\ [03:29] mib_x6iuiqx6: I mean try « ssh localhost » on the terminal with the open ssh connection to the server [03:29] yes - f=force [03:29] Nvidia cards tend to be the easiest [03:29] Cpudan80, n2diy yep [03:29] n2diy: it is also not a good way to remove everything from the drive [03:30] you should just format it [03:30] dag-artman can you please tell me how to set it up [03:30] Titan8990: ok, [03:30] thanks for the help, trying it now ^^ [03:31] jrib: that one refuses connection on port 22 as well [03:31] TroN: do you know what chipset it is? [03:31] guys when grub ask me to choose whioch os to load i have 2 ubuntu and oens old how do i remove it [03:31] mib_x6iuiqx6: weird, but how did you connect currently? [03:31] jrib: i was already connected, and then i changed it [03:31] mib_x6iuiqx6: but didn't you restart sshd? [03:31] tannersummers: get gnome partition editor and remove the partition it is in [03:31] How do I get the file,view,help bar back in applications such as gnome-xchat and pidgin? it is still present in Firefox and open office. [03:31] mib_x6iuiqx6: do connections somehow persist when you do that? [03:31] anyone know of good invoicing program for ubuntu [03:32] Cpudan80: It's a flash drive, I'm not worried about what is on it. I'm trying to work out a backup system I can rely on, and I'm practicing on the flash drive. [03:32] tannersummers_, delete the lines for it in /boot/grub/menu.lst [03:32] jrib: so i've been logged on, and i connected and changed ssh and stuff and restarted sshd, and i'm still connected [03:32] tannersummers_, one should be a recovery mode that should not be removed however [03:32] n2diy: ah ok [03:32] ethan, no what i mean is there is only one ubuntu partiton but i guess ther kernal got updated? [03:32] xanfantasy: you should be able to edit the menu and add them back [03:32] n2diy: have you tried rsync? [03:32] titan8998 theres 4 total. 2 and 2 recoverys [03:32] jrib: so the first time i tried to restart sshd, i forgot to put 'sudo', and it may have restarted improperly? Do you think that I need to log off first? [03:33] tannersummer: you mean there are several differnt kernals to select from [03:33] ethan correct [03:33] mib_x6iuiqx6: no, I just thought you would get disconnected, but ok [03:33] jrib: it is weird that i can stay connected to ssh even though i restarted it, right? [03:33] i need to remove the old [03:33] how to identify what the installation directory is for firefox? [03:33] mib_x6iuiqx6: try changing the port back to 22 and see if it works? [03:33] tannersummer: yeah the first one on the list will be the most up to date but i don't know if you can remove the others from the list [03:33] jrib: okay [03:33] TroN: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution [03:34] start there [03:34] ethan iv done it once, just forgot how [03:34] fosa: use ~/.mozilla/plugins/ for plugins if that's why you want to know [03:34] tannersummer: sorry i can't help you out i've never really had that problem [03:34] but it helps if you know what video chipset version it is, like i815, 845, 865 ect [03:34] hey anyone here prefer ReiserFS over Ext3/4?.. I was playing around with different file systems and I dunno if it's just me but RFS seems a LOT more responsive (and i also have more free space with a fresh install) anyone else wanna comment? [03:35] jrib: i reset to port 22, and then restarted sshd, and i can ssh fine now [03:35] so does anyone know? [03:35] jrib: what is going on? [03:35] these install instructions seem a little out-dated but it's all java provides: http://java.sun.com/javase/6/webnotes/install/jre/manual-plugin-install-linux.html [03:35] nellmathew: if you don't have an UPS you should be wary of reiserFS, also if you look at benchmarks there is some conflicting data, but ext4 tends to be the fastest when you average out all the times [03:35] but there isn't a firefox/plugins folder at ~mozilla [03:36] nellmathew: I chose Ext3 because it seemed to be more standard, so likely more tools can read it. [03:36] as to the comment earlier about P2P LImeWire, you could also use FrostWire, it's Open Source [03:36] jrib: i have some other servers installed, (no other firewalls); could those be interfering? probably not.... [03:36] hello all, is there a way to disable gnome-panel? [03:36] jrib: any ideas? [03:36] mib_x6iuiqx6: how about some port like 2222, does that work? [03:36] nellmathew, i think reiser's main benefit is with very small files [03:36] wats the best firewall for ubuntu [03:36] mib_x6iuiqx6: my guess would be the firewall [03:36] jimmyjh, use a different DE? [03:37] Titan8990: well i wanted to keep gnome, i wanted to replace both panels with an dock [03:37] anybody know what pidgin plugin is for what i'm listening to [03:37] !firewall|tannersummers_: [03:37] tannersummers_:: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Uncomplicated_Firewall_ufw), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI applications such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist [03:37] @tannersummers_: depends on how complex you want your rules to be. shorewall is great, but it can be difficult to learn. iptables offers the most flexibility, and ubuntu firewall is easy to configure with the GUI [03:37] jimmyjh, you should be able to right click on the panel to delete it [03:37] why would you want a firewall for ubuntu or for linux for that matter, linux is much safer than windows and plus hackers are gonna most likely wanna go after a windows machine before they would want to a linux machine [03:37] jimmyjh, may have to uncheck "locked" [03:37] fosa: can't find the java6 package using the synaptic package manager? [03:37] LOL!!!!!!!!!!! [03:38] of course you want a firewall [03:38] jimmyjh, but you will be losing a clock and possibly a notification area [03:38] is there a way from a terminal window to check if your having sound problems? [03:38] Titan8990: i dont wanna delete the panels.. i was wondering if there was a way to stop the loading or kill gnome-panel [03:38] @steven_: that is a terrible idea. you definitely want a firewall [03:38] @Titan8990, gaddzilla, CojaBo-Aztec: thanks for the info. Nice to have a few reliable options.. [03:38] anybody know what pidgin plugin is for what i'm listening to [03:38] gaddzilla: rsync is a pita too. I finally got a Ubuntu box setup in the "wild" with a friend of mine. She doesn't want mess around with command line stuff, so I'm trying to come up with a point and click solution for here, sbackup seem to be the way to go. [03:38] Titan8990: so easy putting them back on later... [03:38] i have firestarter but always get failed message during boot for it [03:38] linux is much safer than windows because it's less likely to be attacked [03:38] theoryx, it seems like the right version of java is installed, but now it needs to be registered in firefox [03:38] well I dont as I have 2 of them on my network and both are hardware firewalls lol [03:38] jimmyjh, ehh [03:39] EVERY piece of software out there is vulnerable [03:39] anybody know what th pidgin plugin is for what i'm listening to is called [03:39] arthur_ you can run the sound test [03:39] jimmyjh, don't use gnome but try: ps | grep gnome-panel [03:39] Not to mention the general nature of a Linux system. That said, vulnerabilities do occur occasionally, so a firewall isn't an entirely horrible idea [03:39] but people have to want to attack it [03:39] fosa: you create it. And it's ~/.mozilla/plugins/ that I said [03:39] jimmyjh, then kill the pid [03:39] jrib: its not the firewall, because i just disabled the firewall, and the same stuff happens [03:39] jrib, you mean mozilla/firefox/plugins ? that doesnt exist [03:39] if we had all our ports open, we would be part of a bot net in a day, tops [03:39] n2diy: do a google search for "rsync cron script" and you'll find a bunch of pre-made ones that can do neat stuff like incremental backups or a weekly backup that deletes the previous ones automatically. no user input is required. [03:39] jrib, mozilla/plugins also doesnt exist [03:40] fosa: no, I mean what I said. And I said to create what I said... [03:40] fosa: you have to create the folder [03:40] n2diy, rsync is not a pita.... its considered to be the holy grail of synchronization tools [03:40] arthur__: you can run speaker-test from the terminal [03:40] n2diy, its syntax is clear and supports many features [03:40] is this a port he is referring to be blocked? === solid_liqAFK is now known as SolidLiq [03:41] gaddzilla: 10-4 [03:41] Titan8990: it comes back on,, it has that issue lol [03:41] n2diy, and also there is rsnapshot which is a perl wrapper around rsync that allows for easy automated configuration of the classic incremental sync + rotate === AfterDea1h is now known as AfterDeath [03:41] steven_: how do i check if a port is blocked or not [03:42] jimmyjh, wouldn't know then, havn't tried anything like that === SolidLiq is now known as solid_liq [03:42] jimmyjh, you could just remove the bottom panel and auto-hide the top [03:42] jrib, theoryx oh, ok, then the next step would be something like this? : ln -s /home/fosa/Desktop/jre1.6.0_14/plugin/desktop/sun_java.desktop [03:42] Titan8990: yea would be nice to do,, what do you use? [03:42] Titan8990: .. true [03:42] jimmyjh, XFCE on my desktop and icewm on my laptop [03:42] use port scan under network tools [03:43] Titan8990: um, ok, now my head is spinning. I thought rsync had security issues? But for all I know sbackup may have them too? [03:43] jimmyjh, I like lighter-weight desktops [03:43] Titan8990: lxde is looking nice [03:43] jrib theoryx i'm getting a little lost from the tutorial: ln -s /plugin/i386//libjavaplugin_oji.so [03:43] hello, i was wondering what the "+" means at the end of "-rwxr-xr-x+". I never noticed it before on any files until now [03:43] and input the port and scan it, the system will report wiether the port is open or not [03:43] steven_: i port scan the server that i am trying to ssh into? [03:43] n2diy, the rsync network protocol does have security issues because it is not encrypted but easily solved by using ssh instead (which it has built-in support for) [03:43] dulouz: what file has that? [03:44] yes just port scan it and it will tell you [03:44] n2diy, that issue would only arise if you wanted to send the backups across the internet using the rsync daemon [03:44] is the server on your network or another network? [03:44] jrib: some file i made in /etc/rc.d/ while trying to configure a lisp webserver [03:44] steven_: okay scanning now [03:44] good :-) [03:45] tell me what you get and well go from there [03:45] dulouz: http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2007-09/msg00459.html [03:46] dulouz, you shouldn't make files there [03:46] dulouz, make the script in /etc/init.d and use the update-rc.d tool to write the files to the /etc/rc.d directories [03:46] dulouz, its the debian way [03:46] Titan8990: roger that. I have to work out the details with my friend, I can backup her box on site, or remotely, not sure which way she wants to go. I'm just trying to figure out both options. [03:46] dulouz: http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-2239/ls-1?a=view has it though the man page for ls on my ubuntu and arch don't mention plus... [03:46] Titan: typo, i made it in init.d [03:47] n2diy, well... there is always the problem that secure = slower due to the overhead the encryption gives [03:47] mib_x6iuiqx6 is the server on your network or outside? like on another network? [03:47] Howdy all [03:47] Hi Rug [03:47] hi all [03:47] steven_: so its still scanning, only came up with port 80; its an external virtual priviate server [03:47] fosa: replace by your directory. everything else stays the same. [03:47] steven_: i installed apache and nginx as proxy - that could be it right? [03:47] DCC SEND ubunturocksguyshahaha [03:47] so only port 80 showed up? [03:48] wow [03:48] steven_: its still scanning, but yes only port 80 [03:48] please how do I change open office into french? [03:48] I am trying to get two monitors working on ubuntu 9.04 and make one of them vertical. Here is my xorg.conf file: http://pastebin.com/m4db9d161. can anyone help me? [03:48] jrib: that triggered something in my memory. i think it may be from chcon which is what some website said to use. off to read more on what that actually does [03:48] do u have a firewall or router/firewall combo by any chance? [03:48] milo_, you gotta install the language pack === chest is now known as fait [03:49] dulouz: wow, never heard of chcon... [03:49] Titan8990: That is not an issue, she loves Ubuntu, she thinks it smokes Win, and besides, I could remotely back up her box when she isn't even home. [03:49] theoryx, the jre doesn't have the /plugin/i386/ directory, does that matter? [03:49] steven_: personally, i am connecting to the vps from a cable modem behind a regular wireless router [03:49] n2diy: does she have a boyfriend? === elad_ is now known as elad` [03:49] are the required ports open on the router? [03:49] port* [03:49] theoryx: hummm, how do i do that? [03:49] jrib: someone else pointed me towards http://www.suse.de/~agruen/acl/linux-acls/online/ [03:49] I know my machine has 4 GB of ram, but the system monitor tells me that there is only 2.7 GB , why is that? [03:49] I'm a long-time user of ubuntu (since the Woody release) and I have a dumb problem I can't fix. Whenever I open Firefox it opens in offline mode. I can uncheck the 'work offline' setting, but as soon as I restart FF, it is back to offline mode again. Any suggestions? (I have checked about:config and that looks ok) [03:49] group question: if you needed to change the language, to say french.. wouldn't you start with the OS? [03:50] @lwells are you talking about in 32-bit windows xp? because that's a common problem. [03:50] Rug: does it happen if you create a new profile? [03:50] dang-artman: yeah, [03:50] steven_: i don't think so - but yesterday i built up the same thing, and it worked fine - i just had to restart the entire server [03:50] Umm, she is the boyfriend! =;o) [03:50] dang-artman: at the login screen, click on options, then language [03:50] gaddzilla: Er, is that relevant at all? [03:50] jrib: let me check [03:50] milo_ : sudo apt-get install language-pack-fr [03:50] steven_: yesterday, i limited ssh to port 30000, and restarted the server, and bingo it worked [03:50] No, gaddzilla, it is in Ubunut [03:50] steven_: however, i am scared now that it will not work, so i don't want to logout [03:50] check your ports in your router and if not open I would open but leave none required ports closed [03:51] theoryx: thank you! [03:51] jrib: Did you mean create a new user? [03:51] and reboot router if it requires then retry server, if that doesn't work then do a port scan again after opening the port [03:51] steven_: so i followed this tutorial - minus all the ssh stuff - could it be that i have nginx server that is redirecting traffic? or is that just for http? [03:51] steven_: http://lethain.com/entry/2009/feb/13/the-django-and-ubuntu-intrepid-almanac/ [03:51] LTSP Question: Does anyone know or know a place to find out the min sys reqs of a thin client to be able to support full speed video playback as well as flash support? I've found all kind of LTSP support sites, but nothing as far as what clients are supported and what kinda performance to expect from them. [03:51] what extension do plain text files have in ubuntu? [03:51] @lwells well 32-bit ubuntu will give you a little less than 4 gigs usable, since 32-bit processing means the max memory addressing you can use is 2^32, but 2.75 seems awfully low. Have you tried the 64-bit version, or have you tried memtest? [03:51] Rug: firefox -ProfileManager [03:52] fait: doesn't matter [03:52] jrib: thanks [03:52] fosa: no, but you should have something like /plugin/i386/ [03:52] so, then, milo: you need to change your system to french first [03:52] steven_: so if i disconnect and reboot the router, i will lose my connection to the server, which means i have the chance of not being able to login? [03:52] I thought i was using 64 bit Ubuntu [03:52] How can I tell? [03:53] So I'm trying to enable two-finger scrolling on my synaptic touchpad. After including SMHConfigure "on" in my xorg.config, I suddenly have a trackpad tab in my mouse pref page, but the configs I make in xorg.conf are getting ignored for some reasons while the limited options I have in the mouse pref window do indeed have a working effect [03:53] What gives? [03:53] Like Fedora Ubuntu full distro DVD doesn,t come? [03:53] theoryx, so /plugin/desktop isn't good? [03:53] is your server suppose to be accessable from the internet ? [03:53] !synaptics | Papageno [03:53] Papageno: For a comprehensive Synaptics Touchpad guide, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad [03:53] How can I map my mouse's extra buttons to keyboard buttons such as backspace and enter? [03:53] Ok, I'm running the current version of Xubuntu, will I have any issues doing a restore to my test box, which is running the current version of Ubuntu? [03:54] devD: could you rephrase, please? [03:54] @lwells: run uname -a and see what it says. [03:54] elad`: xbindkeys together with xvkbd would be one way. imwheel another [03:54] also does your router say it needed to reboot? [03:54] steven_: what do you mean by accessbile from the internet? [03:54] jrib, which way is better/easier? [03:54] fosa: no because you want to link libjavaplugin.so in the firefox directory [03:55] Linux acer 2.6.28-13-generic #44-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jun 2 07:57:31 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux [03:55] like it the server something from home ? that is accessbile from the outside world? [03:55] theoryx: after having installed it, how do I switch? [03:55] elad`: imwheel lets you configure different bindings for different windows, they're both equal in difficulty [03:55] gaddzilla, what does that tell me? [03:55] I was gonna see if I can access it form here with your permission then I could get more of an idea of whats going on [03:55] steven_: the server is a private cloud based virtual private server, not behind a router i believe - it should be accessible to the internet, because i have apache and nginx running on it to serve a web page [03:56] @lwells that's the 32-bit version [03:56] Hi. I'm at a LUG right now, and the person who usually brings our projector is absent. Is there a quick way to set up a network-streaming screencast? [03:56] steven_: also, my home computer is accessible to the internet, through a cable modem behind a router [03:56] milo_ , I'm not sure there is an option to easily switch between the two languages. My guess is you will have to remove the one you're not using. [03:56] ok can I see if I can access that server from here? [03:56] Can I upgrade to 64-bit without having to reinstall? [03:56] I've tried various tutorials using ffmpeg, but they fail. [03:56] milo_: if i remember right it is Within OpenOffice go to Tools>Options, then Language Settings>Language, and you should be able to change the language there (providing it's installed). [03:56] jrib: any NEW profile I create works the first time, but as soon as I re-launch it it's offline again [03:56] @lwells: no, you'll have to do a complete reinstall [03:56] steven_: isn't that dangerous? [03:57] thanks guys I'll try it [03:57] milo: you need to change the language of the OS first [03:57] or at least see if I can see the webpage and that might give me an idea of weither the connection is being blocked period [03:57] steven_: can't you port scan it yourself? [03:57] dang gaddzilla, spent like 2 days setting up everything [03:57] robertrankinjr, Actually I want to download a DVD for ubuntu with various packages, like fedora DVD. I downloaded Ubuntu 9.04 cd which dont have much packages. I need to download all manually. [03:57] well if you let jsut any do it but I am asking for permission thats why [03:57] milo_, I missed your question, what are you trying to switch? [03:57] I am having an issue in Jaunty amd64, I upgraded to kernel 2.6.28-13 (I am now back in 2.6.28-11) and Jockey is not detecting my nvidia drivers (that are currently installed and working nvidia-glx-180) [03:57] dang-artman: no you do not [03:58] OK! [03:58] @lwells: well, as a last resort, there are some server packages you can install in ubuntu to enable PAE (physical address extension) and that will allow you to use the whole 4 gigs (assuming it's not a hardware issue) [03:58] devD: There is an Ubuntu DVD, yes. Or even the alternate CD has extra packages on it. [03:58] Frozenfire: don't know how fast it is, but check out http://www.videolan.org/vlc/streaming.html [03:58] n2dij: switch from english to french in open office [03:58] How does one figure out which version of nvidia-glx he has installed? [03:58] How can I run a hardware test gaddzilla [03:58] yome, check synaptic [03:58] jrib: Any other suggestions? [03:59] steven_: i can't give you ssh access, but i can pm you the ip address [03:59] yome, or glxinfo might tell you [03:59] yome: aptitude search '~i~nnvidia-glx' ? [03:59] Flannel, But I could not see the DVD in Ubuntu official site. [03:59] does ubuntu have any tools that monitors the harddrive..that lets you know when something is wrong with the drive [03:59] @lwells restart your computer and when you see the GRUB loading message (assuming you're using GRUB and not LILO) press `esc` and boot into the memtest86 option [03:59] yome: you can use "aptitude search nvidia-glx | grep '^i'" [03:59] ip address is what I was asking for [03:59] Rug: nope, don't know [03:59] lol [03:59] devD: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/8.04/release/ for instance [03:59] well, the app has to be switched, then the dictionary.. sounds like two different things you gotta do to me [03:59] jrib: ok thanks anyway [03:59] FloridaGuy: Theres smartmontools i think [03:59] ok thanks I will try that [03:59] how do i view a list of input devices on linux [03:59] sedontane: on USB? [03:59] devD, like FrozenFire said there is a DVD. You can find all the servers here: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors#dvd [04:00] bye for now [04:00] theoryx, when i run ./jre-6-linux-x64.bin it extracts a bunch of files and directories but the plugin direcotry doesn't contain an i386 folder [04:00] * devD checking link given by Flannel . [04:00] milo_, go to prefrences keyboard, and the layout you want, close that, and then right click on your task bar, select add/remove, then keybord switcher. [04:00] FloridaGuy, called SMART [04:00] devD: Unless you have no access to the internet, the DVD is likely not what you're looking for. Since you download 4.7G of packages, that are generally outdated by the time you get them (and you won't use all 4.7G of them anyway). So you'll end up downloading less usually with just a regular install [04:00] @floridaguy: cojabo is correct, smartmon tools is excellent. it will even show you the status of individual drives in a raid array (even on a hardware raid card!) [04:00] FloridaGuy, BIOS has to support it, tools are called smartmon [04:00] steven_: did you get pm? [04:00] i nvidia-glx-new - NVIDIA binary XFree86 4.x/X.Org 'new' driver [04:01] Is there an extra version number somewhere? [04:01] Flannel, yes you are right. [04:01] my bios suports smart [04:01] yome: what version of ubunt are you using? [04:01] n2dij: thanks [04:01] anyone knows how to retrieve your password on freenode or how to change it?? I forgot my password [04:01] yome: apt-cache policy nvidia-glx-new will give you the package version [04:01] mezquitale: #freenode [04:01] @FloridaGuy: sudo apt-get install smartmontools and once complete, sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda1 [04:01] gota reboot just installed nvidia.......just came from fedora 11...dident like it [04:01] Thanks! [04:01] mezquitale: try #freenode [04:02] milo_, it's n2diy, thanks. [04:02] n2dij: and i should have have it on top of the desktop, right? [04:02] jrib, raylu, thanks [04:02] milo_, it's n2diy, thanks.

[04:13] mib_x6iuiqx6: but then why would port 22 work? [04:14] jrib: not sure, because it is default? [04:14] jrib: do you have to add the AllowUsers parameter in sshd_config? [04:14] mib_x6iuiqx6: all users except root should be allowed on ubuntu, but I don't have any better suggestions, so you might as well try === TheQ_ is now known as TheQ [04:15] jrib: also, i don't have sshd, i just have ssh, i.e. /etc/init.d/ssh [04:15] mib_x6iuiqx6: right, that's normal [04:15] Gillagal: if it goes away, you don't have to worry about it, the system took care of it.

[04:17] I can't seem to figure out why [04:17] jrib, why the private message, I would have liked to see that answer? [04:18] ouch [04:18] I lagged big time [04:18] LoL [04:18] lol [04:18] I was going to ask [04:18] I [04:19] Nate_, youre able to log in? and then try to surf the net with which browser? [04:19] How do i set proxy settings for Empathy? [04:19] stop asking multiline Nate, you're going to get banned by the bot [04:19] Gillagal: understood, umm, you need to practice sniping with your mouse? :) [04:19] wow Nate: never heard that one [04:19] Firefox will start to load, then it'll quit out to the Ubuntu Login screen [04:19] It does pretty much the same thing with Epiphany [04:19] #lecture === dsdeiz_ is now known as dsdeiz [04:20] Nate: was this a good known working machine with another OS on it? [04:20] yes, it used to have Windows XP on it [04:20] Nate_, sounds likle a pretty bad bug, I think it must be something with your hardware, what version of ubuntu are you using? [04:20] 9.04 [04:20] yeah, hardware or bad install disc.. major memory corruption somewhere.. [04:21] bad RAM or hard drive sectors [04:21] Ubuntu 9.04 . in .xsession-errors i get this :: I/O warning : failed to load external entity "/home/razor/.compiz/session/103ea21b2b2e3f1b9a12453794948604000000031740024" the long string changes every restart of X/GDM. it does affect compiz. [04:21] It's a brand new hard drive, 500 gig [04:21] I've had ***serious**** issues with 9.04(jaunty), it crashes my desktop B A D L Y, 8.10 worked like a charm though, firefox crashes in 8.04 as well [04:22] So you think I should download 8.10? [04:22] Nate_: brand new = new, untested. [04:22] Nate: it's not common, but a new drive can have bad sectors [04:22] Nate_: try to start firefox in a terminal see if you get an error msg before the crash [04:22] No [04:22] ok [04:22] Nate_, I suggest you create another partition, around 10 gigs, then install 8.10 on that one partition and see if 8.10 works on your system [04:23] hi there [04:23] Hi all [04:23] I can't get the terminal to do anything before it resets [04:24] I always try to run Spinrite on new drives [04:24] Nate_, I have a 500 gig hard drive as well, first I installed 8.04 then installed 9.04 on my desktop, firefox crashed on both, sometimes it worked on 8.04, 9.04 works just fine on the laptop I just bought today [04:24] So what would you suggest about which version to run [04:24] Nate_, You might try outputting the stdout and stderr to a file to see what is happening [04:24] Nate_, do you have an nvidia video card? [04:24] Nate_, firefox 2>&1 >> firefox.out [04:25] Nate_, try what msl just suggested [04:25] how do i do that [04:25] i do not have an nvidia card [04:25] Nate_, Enter the command in a terminal [04:26] Nate_, are you using the machine that has the problem? [04:26] no [04:26] this is not on that computer [04:26] but it is in front of me [04:26] Nate_, so turn on the machine that has the problem, then start a terminal and in the terminal type in what msl suggested [04:26] what do i type exactly [04:27] openoffice.org QUICK START? HOW DO I DO IT? [04:27] Nate_, firefox 2>&1 >> firefox.out [04:27] wubrgamer: stop yelling is a good start? [04:28] n2diy: I've asked several times [04:28] ok it did the reset thing again [04:28] wubrgamer: so what? [04:28] i've been scolded for my manners, my manner of speech, and this chan is sooooooo unresponsive it's painful [04:28] hi all [04:28] Wubrgamer: edit -> preferences -> memory -> enable quicstart. And Next time, be nice, no matter how many times you ask. No one here as any obligation to recognize your existance [04:28] i've actually done more helping than receiving help [04:28] i would be nice, they do this for free [04:28] msl, ok so what should Nate_ try now?? :) [04:28] wher's french chatroom [04:29] wub, I haven't been paying attention, what's your problem? I may be able to help. [04:29] and I mean tools -> options, not edit -> preferences [04:29] wubrgamer: so your solution is to become annoying to persuade people to magically attain knowledge they do not have so that they can help you? [04:29] robertrankinjr: thank you, and I realize that. But the thing is just because we're volunteers doesn't mean we can just ignore people like that... [04:29] wubrgamer: No one's ignoring you. But doyou really want 1300 people telling you they don't know? [04:29] wubrgamer try http://ooqstart.sourceforge.net/ [04:29] ok i have this question that is indirectly related to ubuntu: i have a skype wifi phone because usb phones wont work on ubuntu. now does anyone know why the thing keeps shutting off when i turn it on? i've used it for a while and suddenly it stopped working. [04:29] wubr: and just because we're ignored doesn't mean we treat people like that ;) [04:29] jrib: I know, I know, but seriously, if I wasn't a seasoned ubuntu user of several years, I would be SOO annoyed with it I would just forget ubuntu and try something else [04:29] Nate_, Now check the firefox.out file to see if you have any clues. [04:29] wub, I haven't been paying attention, what's your problem? I may be able to help. [04:29] so my english is poor and I neek help === randabis3 is now known as randabis [04:29] where do i find that [04:30] anyway, thank you guys [04:30] hééé hooo [04:30] it is blank [04:30] !fr [04:30] It should be in the directory the command was run.

Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr [04:32] n2diy: audacity doesn't do mp3, last I checked. [04:32] I did try fedora, I don't like it like I do ubuntu and debian. With Ubuntu I always have to call for nosplash, but still get no 3d [04:32] Nate_, sounds like ubuntu didnt like your hardware, I suggest you try 8.10, just create another partition using GParted and install everything just for kicks [04:32] can you give me link for room fr [04:32] My sound just quit working (can't hear what's supposed to play at all, only some static) today on Ubuntu jaunty, any ideas how to troubleshoot [04:32] ectospasm: roger that, that is why I used the ? [04:32] family_: /join #ubuntu-fr [04:33] thanks [04:33] yeah sounds like an idea mezquitale [04:33] this is a real old computer [04:33] russe11, try #alsa maybe they can help you more [04:33] it's like an athlon xp 1800+ === kipas_angin is now known as myphnix [04:33] mezquitale, Should I be using also or pulseaudio? [04:33] que es esto? [04:33] russe11, most people use alsa [04:34] mezquitale: uh, no [04:34] mezquitale, I was under the impression pulseaudio was default in Jaunty? [04:34] mezquitale: isnt pulseaudio a front end to alsa? [04:34] pulseaudio IS the default in Intrepid and Jaunty [04:34] russe11, I do not know, I just installed jaunty on my laptop and it actually works [04:34] pulseaudio is a sound server [04:34] i was thinking mezquitale, what if I ran the live cd to see if it does the same thing [04:35] Yeah, the problem is everything was working great from when Jaunty was released (and before) until now, and now sound quit. I can't think what I would have done to break it. [04:35] russe11: have you checked your mixer levels, make sure they're not turned all the way down or muted... [04:36] Nate_, excellent idea! I think you might have better luck with the live CD because ubuntu wont be touching your hard drive [04:36] russe11: also, make sure pulseaudio is running. [04:36] ectospasm, I have, and I think I'd be hearing nothing rather than static if they were all the way down. [04:36] ectospasm, I also restarted a couple of times. [04:37] russe11: if you turn them down via software, do your speakers still produce static? [04:37] russe11, let me see the output of this: cat /proc/asound/cards [04:37] mezquitale, 0 [Intel ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel [04:37] HDA Intel at 0xfebf8000 irq 22 [04:37] mezquitale, are you having issues with corruption, you said? [04:37] russe11: try stopping pulseaudio [04:38] ectospasm, I get no static with volume muted/turned down in software [04:38] robertrankinjr, i have a HORRIBLE experience in my desktop with jaunty, i gave up, im using my laptop right now, jaunty is too unstable [04:38] ectospasm, what's the best way to stop pulseaudio? [04:38] russell now try this and tell me what you hear: speaker-test -c2 -D default -t wav [04:39] mezquitale, Static. From various speakers ;) [04:39] russe11: you can try sudo /etc/init.d/pulseaudio stop, or just use ps to determine which PID is pulseaudio, and kill -9 [04:39] mezuitale, are you 64bit or 32bit? [04:39] ectospasm, pulseaudio stop gives * PulseAudio configured for per-user sessions [04:39] just wondering, 'cause I had the same issue. formatted like ten times in a week trying to fix it... but there's an ongoing bug about it [04:40] I does the same thing from the live cd mez [04:40] russe11: so kill it from your user (not root) [04:40] speaker-test -c2 -D default -t wav [04:40] russe11: ps -ef | grep pulseaudio [04:40] russe11, copy and paste that to a terminal [04:40] it tries to load up a weird page like \\chrome [04:40] mezquitale: he apparently already did that [04:40] ectospasm, okay, killed pulse [04:41] russe11: still hearing static? [04:41] Still getting static [04:41] it says chrome:// something [04:41] join #asterisk-dev [04:41] mezquitale: are you running 64bit or 32bit? just wondering because there's an issue with 64bit jaunty on the current kernel... could work perfectly in jaunty with a kernel change [04:41] ectospasm, i had the same problem before, turns out I misstyped and wasn't playing the default sound [04:41] mezquitale, the latest terminal command gives static, though not as much possibly? [04:41] russe11: try unloading the snd_hda module (sudo modprobe -r snd_hda) <- not sure if snd_hda is the name of your module... [04:41] Can I add text to the apache error log without the formatted time at the beginning? Could that trigger problems somewhere else in the system? [04:42] Anyone know what the new backports updates are all about? [04:42] robertrankinjr, thank you very much, yes---i have a 64 bit AMD machine however I downloaded the 32 bit distribution, what do you suggest I do? [04:42] ectospasm, Looks like that's not it, what's the best way to determine what the name of my module is? [04:42] Or why it wants to install the 28 kernel, even though I already have it? [04:42] russe11: I don't know. [04:42] ectospasm: did you have him/her try alsa force-reload? [04:43] ectospasm, k, googling [04:43] russe11, you want to go to the #alsa room and pray someone is there, if anyone can help you is the guys in #alsa [04:43] ctmjr: nope [04:43] ctmjr: so direct your comment at russe11 === Guest48246 is now known as _defcon [04:43] mezquitale, Okay, I'll give it a shot. [04:43] mezquitale: could be this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/346691?comments=all [04:43] russe11, is it a USB sound card?? do you have more than one sound card? [04:43] mezquitale, This is built-in sound on my intel chipset Asus motherboard.

You may want to run it in place before you copy it to your system folders [05:34] Guest81581: whats the exact name? [05:35] n2diy, The only possible issue I can see would be GUI programs that have a different default configuration on XFCE. I wouldn't expect that there would be many, if any.

[05:59] wicd manager is ? [05:59] yowshi, Might try forcing the umount: sudo umount -f /dev/sdX# [05:59] got it [05:59] elad`: i tried what u suggested for the alt-shift-tab in appearance, but nothing happened [06:00] I ll try [06:00] elad`: i still have the problem [06:00] msl: he was talking about a joystick [06:00] kain: Ah, sri.

[06:01] it should show you what process is holding it [06:01] Oops. Sorry. [06:01] mount.ntfs is using lots of cpu [06:01] n2diy: hehe, I am not very much active on the radio waves any more. But I have got some QSL cards yet, I believe. [06:01] elad`: its the alt-shift-tab that don't work [06:01] why? >.< [06:01] Hydrant: i have no idea or had no idea what i was supposexcd to put for the ???

[06:03] I installed the package wicd [06:03] no gui [06:03] kain, I wouldn't know, but I highly doubt it. [06:03] Hydrant: yeah /dev/input/js0 [06:03] yowshi: okay... then look at what processes are using that device [06:03] wicd is a gui tool [06:03] bullgard4: Roger that. Are you ready to play on Field Day? [06:03] Hydrant: but msl handed me the fuser command a few seconds before you and not knowing what it was i didnt know what to do with it [06:04] Natthu: try sudo wicd [06:04] yowshi: fuser -v /dev/input/js0 [06:04] not -m [06:04] elad`: damn :S, it was working a few days ago, may while i was trying to work my webcam, i change something but i wouldn't know what [06:04] that should show you who is holding it [06:04] anyone one new driver install === ectospasm is now known as ectodozing [06:04] try following the wireless guide at ubuntuguide.org === ectodozing is now known as ectospasm [06:04] n2diy: I took part in several field days last year.

[06:05] That will show the output Hydrant is looking for. [06:05] msl: -m is only will show mounted system though right ? [06:05] hydrant -m show all processes using the named filesystems [06:06] wicd doesn't show the wifi card [06:06] msl Hydrant the command must be wrong many of these processes couldnt possibly be using a joystick. hell gkrellm is listed [06:06] n2diy: I hope it will be fun to operate also on the air and not only drinking bud beer. [06:07] yah I don't think -m is right [06:07] yowshi: again, why do you think something has hold of your joystick ? [06:07] Hydrant, From the manpage: -m name specifies a file on a mounted file system or a block device that is mounted. All processes accessing files on that file system are listed. If a directory file is specified, it is auto matically changed to name/. to use any file system that might be mounted on that directory.

[06:08] can someone help me to get the driver working right [06:09] yowshi: well, that doesn't mean another process has it [06:09] hey i could not get that BRoadcom package [06:09] Hydrant: hmmm? what else could it mean? [06:09] yowshi: did you give the right arguments? Also I think there is a jstest [06:09] yowshi, You get any output if you cat the device and move the joystick around? cat /dev/input/js0 [06:10] kain, my god, I am such an idiot!

It comes from the German 'juenger' which means 'young man (almost adult)'.

What do I do to view them. Where do I go. Network? Connect to server? [06:18] yowshi, You can try rmmod to remove the module. Looks like it is a more potent option than modprobe. [06:18] I have a hard drive that I just added to ubuntu. Instaed of showing as a hard drive (on the mount icon) it shows as a DVD icon [06:18] Could anyone help me out? [06:18] msl: as for hydrants suggestion of lsusb should i try it and rmmod -f hid_logitech just crashed [06:18] that means I cant direct apache to use the hard drive as the vurtual directory [06:19] !anyone | Kebles [06:19] Kebles: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."

[06:43] k [06:43] wait a sec [06:44] pokemon, ubuntu is an open sourced operating system [06:44] yeah i know im just kidding [06:44] actually i would like to know what is the reason, why ubuntu is exists? [06:44] ive seen a tons of linux distributions [06:44] pokemon: what do you mean by pro? [06:44] @n2diy orca doesn't store as much data as this room genorates it it's buffer [06:45] pro is like an os that can do everything that a user want to do [06:45] w0jrl: RR [06:45] like from... video encoding to music making [06:45] mezquitale: i'm using shockwave flash [06:45] @n2diy what were you saying? [06:45] pokemon: There are tons of packages, so you can do all that. [06:45] mezquitale: how i install adobe flash? [06:45] w0jrl: RR, roger, roger [06:45] @n2diy sorry [06:46] hello parlez vous francais ? [06:46] pokemon: And nearly everything can be found from the package manager, for free. [06:46] !fr | jeannoel [06:46] jeannoel: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr [06:46] isnt ubuntu studio targeted for that type of work [06:46] w0jrl: NP OM [06:47] is there a way to increase gnome-orca's text buffer? [06:49] hmmm, very quiet in here [06:49] Arrr! [06:49] Um_cara_qualquer, it you have flash and it works then great, speed is not dependent on your installation of flash, it depends on your internet connection [06:49] nvm [06:51] n2diy: All USB HID devices are dead if you black-list the usbhid module. [06:52] eusu_kefuin: bummer,GL. [06:53] omfg... just saw this. This guy is drunk or redneck or somethign reviewing Linux Mint. Pretty funny http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdPDorh73vI [06:53] anyone here know how to unjam a module jammed by a defunct process without rebooting? [06:54] mezquitale: sorry, i didn't expressed me correctly, i what are the codes to install adobe flash player on firefox? [06:55] yowshi: try "top" from the terminal? [06:55] Um_cara_qualquer, just go to www.youtube.com and if you dont have flash installed like where it tells you to click and install the version for debian [06:56] n2diy: defunct processes are unkillable by any ,ethod. and apparently normally harmless. i have found though that when a process dies while using a usb device like a webcam or joystick it will jam said device and it's related modules making it unavailable to any other programme and the modules dont respond to a modprobe -r [06:57] yowshi: so kill the process? [06:58] elfMobile, hahahahah [06:58] hi [06:58] yowshi, I don't think anyone here has the expertise to fix this issue without reboot. I don't think there is a solution without reboot.... [06:59] n2diy: as i said the defunct process is unkillable. for example if i am using dosbox and dosbox crashes so i kill it manually the process never dissappears from the ps-A or top list it just becomes listed as but still somehow retains control of the frigging joystick [06:59] i might just have to reboot [07:00] msl: that makes webcams and joysticks and usb mice and any other non flash disk related usb device uneable to me [07:00] yowshi: how are you trying to kill it? [07:00] n2diy: with a kill-9 [07:00] there might not be any way around it [07:00] yowshi: from within top? [07:01] n2diy: i have tried console within top from a root login on alt ctrl f1 [07:01] w0jrl: yeah i suspect thats the case [07:01] yowshi, Are you sure your usb controller is supported? You had stated that all USB devices have problems. I don't think we should focus on dosbox and joystick when they don't seem to be the root proble. [07:01] can someone tell me why when I swapped to two work spaces (instead of twinview) and then changed something on the panels it now reloads the panels every second or two? [07:01] problem* [07:01] I'm runnig 9.0.4 [07:01] yowshi: ok, exit top and try "killall "process" [07:02] you might try sudo dpkg --configure -a [07:02] n2diy: none of the easy solutions work believe me i banged my head against this issue for 2 weeks when i still had faint hopes of using a webcam [07:02] anyone know why i suddenly cant connect too yahoo? [07:02] that might unjam the module [07:02] I went back to twinview and everything clears up, but I don't want twinview, I want mulitple workspaces [07:02] yowshi: you might have to sudo killall? [07:02] can you tell me how to set up my eth0 config on ubuntu server 8.10 [07:02] gartral, Many people have reported Yahoo issues today on Linux and Windows machines. It appears to be a yahoo issue. [07:03] n2diy: nope that dont work either [07:03] msl: great where can file my complaint? :) [07:03] gartral, admin@yahoo.com ? [07:03] lol [07:03] n2diy: processes listed as defunct are already considered dead by the system. technically they arent supposed to use any resources of the system [07:03] n2diy: i just hit on a very bad bug is all [07:04] @n2diy i wonder if sudo dpkg --configure -a will work? [07:04] sounds like you guys are busy, I'll just reinstall [07:04] yowshi, Do they work on the livecd? [07:05] meebosite [07:05] wow testdisk is amazing [07:05] yowshi: Congragulations! No, don't re-install, that is a Windows solution! [07:05] oopsa [07:05] 8.0.4 is a long-term support version right? [07:05] !hardy [07:05] Ubuntu 8.04-LTS (Hardy Heron) was the eighth release of Ubuntu. Downloading: http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04 - See !lts for more details. [07:05] n2diy: LOL funny i been running ubuntu for a while now 2 or 3 years [07:05] how to configure eth0 on ububtu server [07:05] yowshi: You found a bug, now work on fixing it. [07:05] C4colo, yes [07:05] @n2diy that should reset all the modules [07:05] msl: i dont have a livecd handy [07:06] n2diy: would if i could but i dont have the coding expertise heh [07:06] yowshi, Did it work in the past? [07:06] haha.. meebo works j/f [07:06] I installed i386 on accident anyway, downloaded it for a friend and forgot he was running an older 32-bit chip... I have 8GB of ram in this system so I think i might need 64 [07:06] are there any windows xp drivers for your device? [07:06] that's what I get for grabbing a disc laying on the workbench [07:06] ! bug | yowshi [07:06] yowshi: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » If that fails, you can report bugs manually at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug - Bugs in/wishes for the bots can be filed at http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [07:07] msl: didnt have any usb devices other then flash disks in the past. i only vewry nrecently got them because what i wanted wasnt available other then usb [07:07] you could run them using ndiswrapper [07:07] yowshi, You have any other linux machines around?

Trying a livecd to make sure it wasn't a change made on this machine, checking to be sure your USB controller is supported, etc. [07:13] êòî íèòü ïî ðóññêè ðàçãîâàðèâàåò? [07:13] a) kind of hard since i dont ahve any cd's handy and wont have till the end of the month and b)it worked perfectly through jscal and jscalibrator before the dosbox crash so i think it is supported [07:14] I just installed 9.04 on an older computer .. Had to install in SAFE GRAPHICS MODE ... standard instill only gave me a blank screen .. Anyways, now that i'm up an running .. Something other than 800x600 would be nice .. anyone got time to help me with this .. being im a newbie? [07:14] msl: i did run jscalibrator initially to make sure it was registering right and calibrated [07:14] mezquitale: sorry man, still laggy videos [07:16] how do i test read i/o of my systems memory? [07:16] gartral: Memory test? Most liveCDs come with one [07:17] gartral: hello [07:17] CoJaBo-Aztec: rather not have too reboot [07:17] hello [07:17] hi [07:17] gartral: To do a full test, you would have to do a reboot (it couldn't test memory thats in use) [07:17] hello indus [07:18] CoJaBo-Aztec: i dont need full test, just speed [07:18] gartral: Probably try a benchmarking program then [07:18] like ... what would happen if i changed the xorg.conf ... file from vesa driver to intel .. [07:18] oh fraggit forgot to specify joystick type and ubuntu version and such [07:19] CoJaBo-Aztec: may i have a suggestion? [07:19] what? [07:19] of tools >.> === joshthecoder is now known as joshthecoder_afk [07:20] gartral: I don't know any, but package manager or google should find plenty [07:20] Yo gees [07:20] Hey guys! I just installed Ubuntu on a dual monitor desktop. I got my nvidia drivers installed, but my 720p TV resolution will not work correctly. It shows off center, or to the left. I have a black bar about 4 inches on the right hand side of my screen. Any suggestions? [07:20] hey .. would changing vesa to intel in the xorg.conf file make it load the intel driver for my video card? [07:20] I got mes a image of ubuntu and i want to puts it on a usb drive to [07:20] how dosi do that [07:21] earthmeLon; run gksudo nvidia-settings ..in that you should be able to move where the screens are.. like drag the position around [07:21] earthmelon: Use the remote on the tv .. i have to change the formate everytime i reboot .. [07:21] s/are/around [07:22] how would i go about making my own ubuntu live cd with ubuntu restricted extras (flash and mp3 enabled)? [07:22] sorry my connection in unstable [07:22] bastid_raZor waters33637 Thank you. I will try both of your suggestions. In nvidia-settings, I don't see where I can actually move it around, but I will look harder [07:22] I need an applet witch monitor the signal strength of my wifi except nm-applet, because i manage my wifi-connection with wpa_supplicant and not with NetworkManager [07:22] I will accept nm-applet if someone tell me how I can configure it to monitor wireless connections without NetworkManager [07:24] ghow do i find out exactly which kernel version i am using? [07:24] earthmeLon; under X Server Display Configuration [07:24] yowshi, uname -a [07:24] yowshi: uname -r [07:24] thanks [07:24] uname -m [07:25] earthmelon: I have an rca .. and no matter what i do .. i have to click the format button everytime i reboot .. in linux and windows ... doesnt change .. just have to bring up the option ... I have never go anything to try and fix this .. being it's not a big problem for me ... [07:25] Yeah bastid_raZor, That's where I am at. I only see the ability to change resolutions [07:25] frag it i will just put em all in the bloody bug report trim it up a bnit [07:25] waters33637: my monitor works perfectly under windows. I will search for a format button on the tv [07:25] earthmeLon; do you see Layout .. it should show two sets of screens.. i can click and drag them about [07:26] Yes, bastid_raZor but that is only to set relation to each other [07:26] oh wait the firt one covers tham all thyanks anyway [07:26] bastid_raZor: IE: one monitor is to the left or above another monitor [07:26] what is the emerald theme === max_ is now known as amwport [07:26] what is the emerald theme manager [07:26] * gartral suggest the drivers "Fix HDTV resolution" option if they have any [07:26] earthmeLon; right, i had a black line on the 2nd monitor. by adjusting that it displayed correctly === amwport is now known as amw [07:27] !emerald [07:27] 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. [07:28] hmm..wonder if an emerald alternative will come around... [07:28] hi using 8.10 & gnome, how can i add a new desktop via menus? [07:28] i found this theme i like but i need to use emerald to install it [07:28] earthmeLon; also you TV may have an adjustment.. like the other guy suggested. [07:28] Geometry, just get use of google -> http://wiki.compiz-fusion.org/EmeraldThemeManager [07:29] Geometry- its prolly an emerald only theme.. [07:29] Geometry: emerald can be installed from synaptic [07:29] http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Lowfat+Lefty+(cgwd+version)?content=77307 [07:29] thats what i want [07:30] Geometry: that link says content not found [07:30] http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php/Lowfat+Lefty+(Emerald+version)?content=77308 [07:30] that is the right onw [07:30] same [07:30] i want one more desktop size, how can i add from menus?

Thank you though [07:31] bastid_raZor: from gnome menus [07:31] Geometry: main menu>system>administration>synaptic package manager [07:32] earthmeLon; good luck. wish i could have been more helpful.

Any ideas on how to solve this? I have my nvidia drivers installed correctly [07:34] xcell - nope, can't find that option anywhere [07:34] rodders- do you have the full xchat installed?

[09:33] I do have an SD-card here, so I can boot the installer. But I also want to install Ubuntu NBR on a different SD-card [09:34] will it work if I boot the installer from SD-card 1 and give an option to load everything into RAM, remove the SD-card, put in SD-card 2 and then press the install button?

[09:44] limgong: so u solved ur problem? [09:44] hey all. I have a Matrox TripleHead2Go, unfortunately, it doesn't display my BIOS or anything (meaning it bypasses grub) so I can't boot Ubuntu. Is there like a windows utility or something that I can run that will force my computer to boot Ubuntu the next-time only? === dragon_ is now known as dragon [09:44] how to open emacs dired on ssh and execute grep in that dir ???? [09:44] Nope, but I have discovered ubuntu features that have distracted me [09:45] cool [09:45] hey guys, can someone please offer a good player that shows lyrics automatically as the song plays ? [09:46] WeazelON, use screenlets and then get lyrics screenlet from gnome-look.org [09:46] imagitronics: are you sure the BIOS is not displayed? [09:46] dragon: yeah, my screens are completely black (power save mode) until the windows logo comes up [09:46] imagitronics: windows vista? [09:46] If i may, repeat my origional problem for you indus. I seem to get a sort of blue plaid scroll up my screen when i start ubuntu in normal instead of safe mode. It does not go away or change. Nor, does ubuntu load at all when it does this. [09:46] dragon: XP [09:46] i'm not familier with "screenlets" how do i get that? [09:46] can somebody help me [09:47] WeazelON, just apt-get install it [09:47] imagitronics: windows has probably rewritten your MBR [09:47] how do i enable "ssh server" in ubuntu-desktop [09:47] aight cool i'll do it now thanks [09:47] does setting up a computer cluster, through say, ubuntu server, require manually compiling your own kernel ? i've heard of a number of live cd's that automate "instant-grid" [09:47] limgong: hmm do you get a booting screen with a progress bar before this happens? [09:47] imagitronics: did you install Windows AFTER Ubuntu? [09:47] hotspeedBOPM: install it. [09:47] hotspeedBOPM, install it [09:47] nope not at all. [09:47] hotspeedBOPM, sudo apt-get install openssh-server [09:47] dragon: neg. It's still there. If I unhook the triplehead2go, I can get to grub and boot linux (but with only the one monitor) [09:47] limgong: i mean this happens after grub boot loader asks you to boot? [09:47] dragon: requires me to crawl under the desk to unhook it before I plan to use linux [09:47] screen just goes black and then, WOMP, blue plaid. [09:48] anyone know the run command to allocate the amount of memory you give to a java executable? [09:48] limgong: iam wanting to know at which stage exactly it happens [09:48] imagitronics: computerhope.com may have the answer, it sounds like what dragon is saying though, MBR is not recognizing the GRUB. [09:48] hmmm. [09:48] dragon, currently the xorg is at the topmost of the output of the "top", but how will i know who consumes the most of my memory, is it by MEM%? [09:49] Right after the boot screen with the many choices. [09:49] Does anyone here know how to get Quick Synergy to work? [09:49] vigo: it is recognizing grub. It's just that when I have the three monitors all connected I can't "see" it to select Linux [09:49] limgong: hmm but it does boot into safe mode? [09:49] I have been playing with it all night and no luck [09:49] titan8990 you mean sshserver is not installed by default? [09:49] Indeed, that is what i am talking to you on. [09:49] vido / dragon: If I boot into Linux and then set Linux as the default boot option, it iwll boot linux fine [09:49] hotspeedBOPM, no, only the client [09:49] limgong: please highlight my name when u address me or i might miss the message [09:49] limgong: [09:49] sorry. [09:49] limgong: [09:49] dragon vido: set linux as default in /boot/grub/menu.lst I should have specified [09:50] np [09:50] test [09:50] imagitronics: best is to pretend that something is on screen, and hit the keys as you would do if display was there [09:50] type my name and use tab to auto complete [09:50] dragon: I tried, I think my timing is off :) [09:50] i know what "apt-get install openssh-server" is but what is "sudo" [09:50] type in then tab and see what happens [09:50] indus, test [09:50] kkk [09:50] !sudo | hotspeedBOPM [09:50] hotspeedBOPM: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root").

For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [09:50] imagitronics: Oh, ok, that sounds more like a Hardware than software corruption or goof, try it with one Monitor, then add one, rinse and repeat. [09:50] indus, there i think i got it [09:50] Does anyone have any experience with Quick Synergy? [09:51] limgong: safe mode works?do u reach a desktop? [09:51] gerardagda: you're looking for CPU usage in `top`. Try changing the sort order. [09:51] vigo: yep, works fine with one monitor, I guess the problem is triplehead specific, but I can't find any info on it [09:51] dragon, how? [09:51] vigo: I guess the triplehead is trying to be cute by not showing you the bios screen or any "startup" information [09:51] indus, oh yes. I get a screen that says fix somthing or nother, and boot in normal and such like that. [09:51] gerardagda: F for sort order, h for help [09:51] limgong: what graphics card do u have [09:51] hi [09:52] imagitronics: computerhope.com or tomshardware.com may be of more help, also the forums or #hardware. [09:52] so, that's why I was asking, is there a utility on the windows side that will allow you to run it and then force the computer to boot linux another time [09:52] !hi | Jemima [09:52] Jemima: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [09:52] indus, would me saying ati mobility radeon 9000 answer that question? [09:52] I come from a mac background, and I have a utility in MacOS that lets you choose which OS will be booted the net time you boot [09:52] limgong: yes [09:52] USB 3.0 support to arrive first on Linux http://techfancy.blogspot.com/2009/06/usb-30-support-to-arrive-first-on-linux.html [09:52] something like that for Windows (or Linux) would be fantastic [09:52] indus, oh good. [09:53] imagitronics: sounds like a fun project, I am going to have to play with that one myself. [09:53] limgong: did you check in menu >system>administration>hardware drivers? [09:53] !ATI [09:53] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [09:53] indus, For what exactly? [09:53] indus, the drivers? [09:54] dragon, i've already closed the "firefox" but why is it still in there? [09:54] limgong: ubuntu installs the ati drivers for u and you can check if its enabled in there [09:54] vigo: now that I think of it, from the Linux side it would be easy, just a sed script to modify /boot/grub/menu.lst for the windows partition next time [09:54] limgong: start diagnosing with the X server's log [09:54] vigo: but I wouldn't know how to go about setting it back from the windows side [09:54] limgong: `less /var/log/Xorg.0.log` [09:54] gerardagda: it takes a while to go away [09:54] hey there.. i'm trying to see my bluetooth phone from ubuntu 9.04 - i can see the bluetooth dongle (hcitool devlist) but when i do hcitool scan I get 'Inquiry failed: Connection timed out' - any ideas??

[10:01] pvh_sa|wrk: keep searching the forums, and if you think it's a problem with the software, file a bug [10:01] hotspeedBOPM: The point of sudo is that you are never root except for running the task at hand after which you are automatically "normal" user again [10:01] indus, just putting in the bin [10:01] indus, http://paste.ubuntu.com/199051/ [10:01] i choose a splahs (.so) but programjust clsoe and nothign happens [10:01] in Ubiquity "scanning disks" fails (hangs), although the disk is correctly recognized and partitions can be created and mounted normally [10:01] :( [10:01] tannersummers: logout and login?

Ubuntu caches password so you don't have to repeat it all over again. But only for limited time [10:02] dragon there is no way i can do that without loggingout [10:03] indus, hardy heron, just updated today [10:03] meho_r i see [10:03] dragon, ah, thanks. hciconfig hci0 reset cleared it up. as per: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-366485.html [10:03] limgong: type lshw -C Video [10:03] I updated Ubuntu, and rebooted, and now my screen is half size.

[10:06] petx: is this the first time you using pidgin? [10:07] there is an entire room dedicated to the yahoo problem it seems [10:07] myrtti i must have; since i can log in as root in SSH [10:07] indus, hmm... no... I've tried once before [10:07] it says my splash screen in the config editor is edubuntu-splash.png so where can i find this file at in the folders dir? [10:07] hotspeedBOPM: uh-oh.

[10:23] limgong: it will take some patience and reading to solve your problem, but the community documentation is a great way to solve [10:23] hotspeedBOPM: delete the file .bash_history [10:23] hotspeedBPOM: That -k with a little text in front clears bash history. I would have to look it up again. [10:23] indus but that doesn't clear current session [10:23] hotspeedBOPM: history -c [10:23] hotspeedBOPM: ya sorry bad method [10:23] indus, you are a sainted man/women/unspecified gender. King/queen of new new york [10:23] hotspeedBOPM: its history -c [10:24] :) [10:24] hotspeedBOPM: and take a look at ~/.bash_history [10:24] limgong: some people do call me a saint, but that happened after they let me out of jail [10:24] !offtopic | indus [10:24] indus, please see my private message [10:25] hotspeedBOPM: i think if you dont see history then you need to create that file .bash_history. oops i mixed up the answers [10:26] hi all [10:26] i had a question on upgrading to 9.04 [10:26] If I have a samba share that nautilus is able to browse to (e.g smb://server2/common/) is there a terminal-usable path associated with the nautilus accessing? [10:26] history -c didn't work [10:26] i am keen - but it warns of possible issues with display drivers [10:26] iceroot, Amavis + Spamassassin + ClamAV is a good combination and can be configured to send spam/virus mails to a specific local address. Not sure about what you'd us to produce a daily, "digest" of activity though. [10:26] is there anyone here who is in a position to help me get my bluetooth headphones to work with ubuntu? [10:27] arand: ~/.gvfs/somethinghere [10:27] can we find out whether my Dell Inspiron 1501 will have a problem beforehand [10:27] erUSUL: cheers [10:27] why does my xorg.conf change after every reboot?

I wonder if this happens to anyone else. Google says its a bug but has been fixed with latest ubuntu version, but not for me [10:29] wmv dosent play in VLC [10:29] hotspeedBOPM: another method ln -sf /dev/null ~/.bash_history [10:29] crap [10:29] the "start the Ubuntu NBR installer in VMWare"-idea isn't going to work [10:29] what codec required to play wmv in VLC or Mplayer [10:29] iceroot, In Amavis's config file, look for $final_virus_destiny, $final_banned_destiny, and $final_spam_destiny. [10:29] lyrae: works fine here on 8.04 [10:29] anasha: find out what kind of wmv it is [10:30] indus actually history -c did work; thanks [10:30] iceroot: strange. thanks [10:30] hotspeedBOPM: ya its easy [10:30] because the NBR installer disk isn't an iso, but a stupid .img. And it can't be converted to .iso either :/ [10:30] !CODECS [10:30] 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 [10:30] anasha: not sure if "file" works.. you could take a look in vlc.. one of the menus has some choices for getting media information [10:30] !codecs | anasha [10:30] anasha: please see above [10:30] rob_p: ok and then?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [10:31] ty [10:31] anybody an idea how I can start that installerer in VMWare? [10:31] !vmware [10:31] 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 [10:31] Slart, wma2 [10:32] ubottu - thanks. The question is how can I find out my laptop (DELL Inspiron 1501) which is working alright with Ubuntu 8.10 will be fine if I upgrade to 9.04 with out actually upgrading [10:32] Dhanada: running the liveCD is one indicator [10:32] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [10:32] ok - thanks for the suggestion [10:32] erUSUL: I don't want to install VMWare in Ubuntu. And want to do it the other way arround ;). I want to install Ubuntu NBR inside a VMWare virtual machine [10:32] i am shocked how powerful this tool is "file" command: it can tell what kind of file it is: how come no such a tool exist for windows [10:32] indus, Slart, ubottu, the codec is wma2 [10:32] <_ruben> wonder why canonical decided to drop vmware (server) support .. they used to support it in earlier releases [10:32] hotspeedBOPM: http://www.faqs.org/docs/bashman/bashref_107.html < hotspeedBOPM: :) you will find many such tools in linux... [10:33] anasha: when you try playing it in totem movie player do you get any message? [10:33] erusul i have yet to find a tool that can identify what kind of file it is in windows [10:33] anasha: wma2 shouldn't be a problem.. I can play files that use it just fine [10:33] Dhanada: also look though entries for your machine in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/Dell if there are any relevant entries [10:33] iceroot, should be able to set something like, $spam_quarantine_to = "spam_admin@localdomain" [10:34] hotspeedBOPM: i mean that you will find many powerfull tools in linux that have no windows equivalent [10:34] arand - thanks I will do the same [10:34] then again how accurate is "file command" [10:34] Slart, indus, it play but shows only garbage [10:35] how to connect to a dial up broadband modem using wifi. i am using ubuntu 9.04 version [10:35] Dhanada: also if you have an intel grapic card... [10:35] !intel > Dhanada [10:35] Dhanada, please see my private message [10:35] anasha: its an audio file right? so how can you see anything [10:35] anybody an idea to start the NBR installer in VMWare Workstation?

[10:37] anasha: encryption? some kind of DRM?

[10:38] why has 915resolution been removed? [10:39] how powerful/accurate is file command in linux? can it identify any files? [10:39] Slart yes [10:39] anasha: can you pastebin the error you get from vlc? (there is a messages-window you can get to in the menus).. also pastebin the output from the 'codec information' and 'media information' if you can.. might be helpful [10:39] How does one refresh a "gvfs" from terminal?

The manpage goes into a fair amount of detail about it's methods. [10:41] hotspeedBOPM: check out "man file" from the terminal and it will tell you what it can do, including what erUSUL mentioned [10:41] erusull so, is that mean the bigger/more updated that db file is; the better it does it identifying it? [10:41] I accidentally installed the madwifi drivers for my ath5k wifi chipset. Now the system stalls and locks on ath_pci at boot. How can I delete the driver from a live environment?

[10:43] hmm [10:44] Slart: anasha:anasha you can use a virtual box and use windows media player to run it i think [10:44] but nvm [10:44] sorry ok ive fixed it [10:44] harri_: Maybe you can do it in BIOS, just disable it. still looking but that live thing is trowing me off. [10:45] indus, anasha: mm. virtualbox might be an option if you really need to watch something [10:45] Slart, ok [10:46] But dont ask me about virtual box as i dont know :P [10:46] ok next question :) [10:46] when is ubuntu 9.10 gonna come out?

[11:34] plouffe, via the update manager [11:35] any recommendations for an IDE for C for a beginner ? [11:35] its in the etc/x11/xinit/xinitrc [11:35] Spike1506: thanks I'll try, but it's busy now [11:35] hmmmmm [11:35] Jenk: yeah, don't use one [11:35] xinitrc got me curious [11:35] Jenk: i like netbeans but im not sure if it supports C [11:36] learn the basics before you jump ahead and start using an IDE [11:36] what no IDE ? [11:36] Jenk: start by using a regular text editor.. especially for C [11:36] spike are you able to set up the zd1211 zydas wifi usb lan adapter? [11:36] in damn small linux [11:36] learn yourself a good editor, and do basic stuff to learn the foundations of the language [11:36] I made some changes in /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /etc/gdm/gdm.conf and when i restart the xserver the changes take effect.but when i log out or restart the changes dont take effect unless i edit the files again and retsrt xserver...any body know how to fix this...i am running jaunty [11:36] Slart:I'm a newcomer to Linux... [11:37] perbl:why ? [11:37] yo The_Warlock still having that problem? [11:37] Jenk: ehmm.. so? most text editors work the same way in linux that they do in any other os. [11:37] Jenk: if you are a beginner, you have no need for an IDE in order to learn a language [11:37] Guest81581: actually i figured out the previous issue...it needed a quirk :) [11:37] Jenk: I use scite, editra or plain gedit for text editing [11:37] lol [11:37] so whats the issue now [11:38] Jenk: and if you want to _understand_ the language, you don't need an IDE maskin out things with code generation and stuff for you [11:38] Anyone knows if there is a EHCP irc channel? [11:38] anyone able to setup the wireless connection with damn small linux? [11:38] Do i then use vim or something like that ? [11:38] Guest81581: but the change only is in effect when i edit those files and restart xserver...the moment i logout or restart the box the changes dont take effrect unless i redit the files and retsrt the xserver using cntl alt backspace [11:38] why isn't the Gnome Weater Report plugin not letting me to adjust the settings? [11:38] if you manage to learn yourself vim, that is a terrific editor [11:39] where are the settings stored? [11:39] it should be noted that vim is something of a challenge to learn, but once you learn it, you will probably use it a lot and not want to go back to a regular editor :) [11:39] perbl:yes, i'd like that, but i know neither head nor tails of vim ... [11:39] perbl, better yet, vim-full [11:39] VIM PWNZ! [11:40] aye, so does Gvim [11:40] :D [11:40] Jenk: but if you want to use an IDE, I think eclipse has kinda good support for C nowadays [11:40] so basically edit xserver conf files? [11:40] Guest81581: its weird that i need to reedit files which already have the required parameters...and then xserver restart fixes it till the next logout/reboot [11:40] anybody running jaunty with encrypted root that knows of a good tutorial to set that up? [11:40] yes... [11:40] i love nano [11:40] is any install CD offering that option? [11:40] perbl:yes, but it supports Java much better. [11:40] and make it not a pita to setup, that is [11:40] Jenk: yep [11:41] I like nano too [11:41] there shud be a command that reconfigures your configuration [11:41] my home directory is encrypted [11:41] Jenk: but my claim is still that to learn basic skills in a language, you are much better off without an IDE if you have a good text editor that has good support for the language you are learning [11:42] perbl:just started c recently as part of curriculum in college, so i thought an IDE for C would be a better idea.. [11:42] hmmm so xinitrc invokes the /etc/X11/XSession [11:42] Jenk: I have to agree with perbl.. if you start using an IDE with lots of features you'll spend more time learning the IDE than learning the actual language [11:42] Jenk: perhaps the course material suggests an editor for you*? [11:42] -* [11:43] Jenk: geany [11:43] greetings [11:43] they teach me with MS-DOS [11:43] and it puts all session scripts to variables [11:43] omg [11:43] dont mind me im just talking to myself [11:43] no [11:43] Guest81581: ok [11:44] starting with IDE is bad [11:44] Guest81581: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Quirks thats the page where i found it out [11:44] you will develop bad programming habits [11:44] better start with text editor [11:44] The_Warlock, checking [11:45] Guest81581: yeah.....i have seen so many students starting C with turbo C and when they r given a unix box they r left clueless of how to write a C program [11:45] Well, if IDE's are bad for learning a language, why do people create them ? [11:45] Eh, we had to learn PASCAL at school this year... [11:45] Jenk: there's nothing wrong with using an IDE [11:45] Jenk: just start with vim [11:45] Jenk: to *work* with a language [11:45] its awesome [11:46] IDE's are supposed to make hardened programmers life easier [11:46] i removed /etc/courier and having a problem installing/uninstalling courier-imap, how to force the installer to install all files just like when courier-imap never has been installed [11:46] if you start with IDE you will rely on it too much === cpuid is now known as dotslash [11:46] Allright, could someone give his/her ideal way of learning C ? [11:47] sure auto-complete is nice but [11:47] Guest81581: same thing can be said about DEs === dotslash is now known as int80h [11:47] grawiti: i learned pascal when i was 13, they teach it in those years? [11:47] Jenk: the interenet - this is ubuntu OS support [11:47] Jenk: a regular text editor, a good text-book, compiling on a command line [11:48] hi everyone, just wondering what the support is like for using an iphone with linux? anyone had any experience? [11:48] is there some good fax software? [11:48] Jenk: Your brain is the best way trust me [11:48] well in DEs you dont have those automagical stuff [11:48] Jenk, a linux box, vim and a copy of C programming language [11:48] ;) [11:48] and gcc ofcourse [11:48] sending odts for fax machines? [11:49] build-essential [11:49] which should be there on any linux box by default [11:49] ikonia: i'm searching for an IDE for Ubuntu, due to the nos available i am bewildered. In course of asking for help, i must have strayed.Due apologies. [11:49] when i create a aptoncd iso file,aptoncd closes automatically at 40% when it is reading the packages.Help plz!!! [11:49] Jenk: check out geany if you want a low bloat ide [11:49] if at all you r looking for an IDE try eclipse [11:49] its much fun to learn the syntax by heart [11:49] or netbeans [11:50] Jenk: what Slart said! [11:50] The_Warlock - agree with eclipse, powerfull [11:50] (find a text editor, buy a good C-book, program and run things on the command line) [11:50] NETBEANS for IDE [11:50] text editor for learning [11:50] Slart: I'll try your method. === wet-chan is now known as wet [11:51] is there a C chanel? [11:51] #join /c [11:51] ##C might be it [11:51] there is ##c, but it requires registration with nickserv [11:51] maybe if theres a c channel you can also learn from there [11:52] that wud be cool [11:52] Using screenlets, the ringsensor screenlet gives me options of "CPU0, CPU1, CPU2" but I only have a dual core CPU... any suggestions as to what the others may be? [11:52] Guest81581, i'm a newbie [11:52] cyberghoser1, the only problem its way too much for a begginner [11:52] Guest81581: ##c [11:52] see [11:52] aurilliance: nothing in the man-page? [11:52] if theres such a channel thebn its a good place to learn [11:52] The_Warlock - i know that since i was developing l2j on it, its maybe hard to begin with it [11:52] Slart: where would the man page for it be? [11:53] Thanks Folks ! [11:53] LOL [11:53] maybe when you become a not so newbie [11:53] cyberghoser1, i needed a couple of hours just to find my way thru it a couple of years ago [11:53] aurilliance: hmm.. I thought there was a help function.. my bad [11:53] Jenk, but if you really wanna go for IDE then get netbeans [11:53] aurilliance: anyways.. I think cpu is the combined cpu usage.. cpu1 is for cpu 1 and so on [11:54] The_Warlock - well i started using java as main core, then compiling the project is quite good, but ofcourse C is another thing [11:54] yeah I was wondering if that'w what it is. Thanks, Slart for confirming :P [11:55] The_Warlock - I'm using gambas2 as platform now to make applications on ubuntu, its like visual basic free for linux [11:56] Guest81581, i'll stay with the advice of the box, vim,the brain,book and CLI. Thanks anyway. === sopi_ is now known as Guest7209 [11:56] Jenk: yeah the brain is the most important thing [11:57] well if you are learning then thats the best way to go [11:57] learn the syntax by heart [11:57] cyberghoser1, i never used it....do u have a link? [11:57] The_Warlock, are you sure you have monitor quirks? [11:57] cyberghoser1, , yeah right ! btw, edubuntu would help ? [11:58] yes.....it did work out..... [11:58] Guest81581, ok. [11:58] lol [11:58] really? [11:58] and the backport modules didnt work out... [11:58] im still checking it out [11:58] oh sux [11:58] The_Warlock - http://gambas.sourceforge.net/en/main.html [11:58] well if you had the quirks then deffinitely it wont work [11:59] Jenk - of course [11:59] cyberghoser1, edubuntu would help learning C ? [12:00] Can a kernel module be downloaded from someone/somewhere and be used on my computer without issue? I'm trying to use my laptop's built in MMC card reader but to do so requires a kernel module and I don't want to have to compile it myself. [12:00] Jenk - if you really want to learn C, C++ and other derivatives, the os choice is not the most important thing, you will start at command prompt, learn the compiler and the most important, the syntax [12:00] jimlovell777: it depends on a lot of things [12:00] Guest81581, you mean it wont work on restarts ? [12:01] i think you can but you will have to recompile [12:01] jimlovell777: where are you getting the module from [12:01] The_Warlock, what do you mean? [12:01] cyberghoser1, okay, and ? [12:01] Jenk, the best book that i would recommend for C is C programming language by ritchie...its a bit tough to grasp but its awesome [12:02] Jenk - and? if you want to learn better start now :P [12:02] you said if i had quirks it wont work [12:02] i would suggest DIETEL [12:02] ikonia: No where, haven't found a site to do such a thing but I was curious if it would work should such a site exist. Is there a way to download the kernel source and only build/compile that module? Compiling the entire kernel takes hours on this computer and that's a lot of hassle for one module. [12:02] i mean if you really have quirks then the backports thingy wouldnt work [12:02] Guest81581, ahh okies [12:03] jimlovell777: it's very speicifc on a permodule/perkernel basis [12:03] coz backports deal with the driver aspect while the quirks seems to be a manufacturing error [12:03] The_Warlock, have it already, [12:03] so now how do i fis this so that i dont have edit the files again and again as te=he entries r already there? [12:03] cyberghoser1, am taking ur advice and leaving... [12:04] Jenk, cool.....there are some other ones that are easy to follow and explain the concepts in a more understandable way [12:04] cyberghoser1, intersting [12:05] The_Warlock, yes it is i already made an application like video club dvd loans, so easy [12:05] Hi I can't seem to get flash player working on Hardy heron .. can anyone help me?

[12:07] djoob, about:config [12:08] djoob, and scroll down to bottom it says shockwave plugins: [12:08] cyberghoser1: about:config shows nothing for shockwave when I type it in the filter [12:08] other than lynx and links are there any other console browsers? [12:08] djoob, about:config will show you a message to be careful etc just click it [12:08] djoob, also scroll down, if not working then try about:plugins [12:09] djoob, i can provide also a link for you to revert to flash 9 [12:09] yes I did... then in the filter I type shockwave so it finds the line with shockwave and nothing comes up ... in about:plugins there isn't a schokwave section [12:10] djoob, then it seems that your .so plugin file is not found, can you look at /yourname/.mozilla/plugins folder? [12:10] Guest81581: do i need to reconfigiure my x server after making the changes in the file?

[12:12] djoob, do it if it works, don't remember if you need root privileges [12:12] worked [12:12] hi [12:12] djoob, ok now open a site with flash content and when it shows you missing plugin install that way === marky_bmw3 is now known as bored_dadddd [12:13] cyberghoser1: Ok one minute [12:14] Is there any way to check on the progress of the "Normalizing tracks" step in Brasero?

I am not trying to convert, I will do a reinstall. one thing i would like though is create a text dump of the packages I have installed (not in core) that I can use as an input file on the new install to "get it back" to where I have it. [14:01] aptoncd is not what i want because that makes debs right? [14:01] slestak: Right, these commands from ubottu should help though. [14:01] !clone > slestak [14:01] slestak, please see my private message [14:02] Pici: tyvm [14:02] slestak: Of course some packages (albeit not many) won't be available on 64bit, so you may not be able to install all of them.

[14:06] /server irc://irc.abjects.net/ [14:07] Hmm.. i diddent think the server command used a 'web type url' like that. [14:07] /server irc.abjects.net === bnj is now known as s1taxeror [14:08] scunizi: Each architecture requries that the binaries be compiled for them separately, so yes. [14:08] scunizi: yes. they should be 64bit also. [14:08] Dr_Willis: no, /server doesn't use URLs. [14:08] (oh, and they aren't only "web type") [14:08] grawity: read again [14:08] grawity: whatever. :) [14:08] Pici: Read what? [14:08] i found the term accuraate. :) [14:08] grawity: nevermind. === VirusEcks is now known as VX [14:09] Dr_Willis: Pici and for those packages you need that are only available on 32 bit, can they also be run in the 64bit environment in some fashion or do you have to go out and get the source to compile? === VX is now known as VirusEcks [14:09] scunizi: there are ways to get 32bit packages to work. (but ive never had to mess with that) [14:10] Dr_Willis: nice to know.. I'm thinking those occational "break" times when you just need a couple of minutes to blow thing up.. getdeb.net is typically 32bit [14:11] Hey.

I need to have a share thats guest accessable to both windows and linux machines and while i can open the share under linux without requireing a username or password windows insists i enter one [14:12] I can boot into the earlier kernel which does ask for a passphrase [14:13] niadh: yea I've had that same problem idk why that occurs. But you can go to tools->mount hard drive something like that in windows and give the username and password so you don't have to keep entering it. [14:14] niadh: if you figure out why it does that please PM me. [14:15] Hey. The PNG plugin that comes with Gimp can't handle layers. Where can I get a better one that can?

Installing from source will be a nightmare as there are many compilation options provided by php5-mysql, php5-curl etc that I do not have the skills to know how to do by making from source. What are other wa [15:00] ys of upgrading to php 5.3 in 8.04 ? [15:00] cmon guys, this should be a one word answer, please help [15:00] tehbaut: what version are you running? with 8.10 yu can use persistence, and it will keep track of it. you can save files etc, [15:00] tehbaut: give me sec [15:01] joi [15:01] #ubuntu-fi [15:01] Hello [15:01] hi [15:01] bsl: not clear what "add information" means, but you might want to read the man-page for update-rc.d [15:01] gabriel: !welcome [15:01] iratiku: if you're not prepared to build from source, upgrading your version of ubuntu is likely the only option.

I need this for rsnapshot, any idea how to set this up? [15:03] bsl: you'll probably want to add some meta-data at the beginning of the script which is used by update-rc.d -- use any existing script as a template. [15:03] Its the one that has a 160 gb hard drive [15:03] bsl: do you know about apropos? try "man -k init", for example. easy way to narrow down to useful man pages.

[15:16] rohan: so it cant be in repositories [15:16] t-o-m-p-p-a: did you follow the help on help.ubuntu.com for the VNC page? [15:17] fasta: i mean it depends on a variety of factors that i dont know - how the motherboards boot, how the bootloader is currently installed [15:17] rohan: well you can install it from page [15:17] andruk: ok, thanks. [15:18] t-o-m-p-p-a: the reason i ask is that i was having problems with that too. i had to ssh into the remote box with the -L option, and then run the vnc server on the remote machine, and then have vinagre connect to my local machine using the appropriate port [15:19] fasta: you might need new drivers for your new hardware as well [15:19] n0gear: true, but it will at least boot. [15:19] The problem i have, is the following: " When i type something on my keyboard, the vnc- gnome types something else.

I built the modules by hand using the actual alsa sources (first) and then realtek's sources (second) [15:48] tntc, hold on, I should be able to find a doc, it's pretty easy though :) [15:48] tntc: to answer your question no it is not a bug [15:48] eurythmia: heh. I'm not too worried. I can make complicated things work too. [15:49] ctmjr: ok. feature request or something then?

[16:08] hello .... [16:08] squeak, personal preference mainly [16:08] I have a problem with GRUB .. [16:08] ziroday: i tried it but seems i screw it up first time when i look over your description, so i try again [16:08] hey sipior, how do u execute the inhibit command [16:08] bastid_raZor, okay well I personally like gnome better kde reminds me too much of vista loool [16:09] Whenever I boot from my hard disk, it came up with grub> command .. [16:09] squeak: from my experiance KDE is slower [16:09] nthompson92: gnome-screensaver-command --inhibit [16:09] squeak: try both out and see which one you prefer [16:09] I don't know how to boot to Ubuntu ... [16:09] squeak, exactly. [16:09] write boot (enter), greenkernel :) [16:09] sledgeas: no problem [16:09] I would point out that kde is configurable, but you don't have to know much about it to know that [16:10] Then, it came up with an error .. stating that the kernel must be load first .. [16:10] thanks again sipior. [16:10] having said that, right now I'm using gnome...kde4 has too much stuff to iron out before I'll really dig it [16:11] I like gnome and all that everything works great...I just have a problem with pulseaudio..I like it just at times it loops my sound and I have too restart too get it too fix itself [16:11] any unr users in here? how can i tell maximize to not do what its supposed to?? lol [16:11] Hi, I installed without a swap partition, is there a way to configure hibernate to use a file instead of a swap partition? === sean is now known as Guest92204 [16:11] the boot partition is in my first partition of the first hard drive .. [16:11] so .. I enter this command .. root (hd0,0) .. [16:12] but, nothing happens .. [16:12] oh ok, greenkernel, it goes beyond me knowledge cause i have never RFTMed grub :) probably you should load kernel with a `kernel' command and then the exact kernel name after it.. the most common problem for me was to remember the exact kernel command :) [16:12] halo [16:12] ati/amd fglrx grafic driver does this driver make hdmi audio and video output if not how can i get driver that does [16:12] greenkernel: do you have separate boot and root partitions?

[16:18] greenkernel: so you need to specify root (hd0,5), yes? [16:18] (hd0,5) is my / partition .. right? [16:18] do a bios lockdown too leh [16:18] greenkernel: (hd0,5) == /dev/sda6 [16:19] That is my /(root) partition .. [16:19] and you can specify disk quotas too [16:19] but, kernel is not in /(root) partition .. right?

What do these links point to? [16:59] titan8990 which is the fastest for small files [16:59] stuckey, you can use (hdx,y) or UUIDS [16:59] very small files [16:59] om26er, reiserfs [16:59] lstarnes: ??

[17:02] zer0o: On a clean Jaunty system, that device number is actually /dev/sr0. Did you install Jaunty fresh? If not, from which version did you upgrade? [17:02] Titan8990: it said something like, couldn't load modules... something about something not being found [17:02] Titan8990, sry...wrong dude [17:02] ok well i got it on the first partiton on windows 7.

[17:05] zer0o: How did you do upgrade? (It matters.) [17:05] staar2: it means you are running ubuntu karmic [17:05] Titan8990: there's only 3 files that begin with "init" in /boot, one of them is being used by the other OS, and the other had .bak at the end of the file name. I put the one that wasn't being used by the other OS and which didn't have .bak at the end of it's name into initrd for ubuntu [17:05] but that didn't work [17:05] i have faced this problem since yesterday [17:05] zer0o: Many people in the forums reported system breakage like you describe by skipping the Intrepid release. [17:05] Bormy: did you read the link I have you? [17:06] dajhorn: I DO NOT UPGRADE, NEVER, I DISABLED THE UPGRADES CUZ THEY WERE CAUSING ME PROBLEMS [17:06] DVA5912, because you chose to learn a proprietary language instead of the tons that offer good support regardless of the platform? [17:06] can i customize the notifications? [17:06] joejc: not at this time [17:06] stuckey, honestly, I don't use initrd.... === Xcell is now known as Expert [17:06] in 9.10?

[17:07] joejc: its very difficult to say. [17:07] 10.10? [17:07] during the setup of ubuntu there is an option "install boot loader" [17:07] dajhorn: no ive never said that, ive said i havent touched anything and its 1 year i dont upgrade in order to avoid this kind of probs and just like this out of the blue my burner doesnt work anymore [17:07] lvr: #xubuntu will be able to help [17:07] Titan8990: okay, i'm just interested in booting ubuntu [17:07] ziroday: may i query you?

A rom drive is /dev/scd0.

[17:14] ziroday: already seen that -- the command line thing is a pain; the connection doesn't show in my nm-applet [17:14] It happened after i ran cairo-dock and it asked if i wanted to use OpenGL [17:15] but it asked on every boot/login [17:15] dajhorn: so u think so even if the system mentioned missing permissions? [17:15] dsdeiz: The easy way is /etc/rc.local. The right way is `update-rc.d`. [17:15] so I am wondering if there is an underlying problem i have not addressed [17:15] ziroday: so - ubuntu is harmful to flash media, in a nutshell. [17:16] DexterF: not at all, you can manually define those settings in /etc/fstab. Is this a usb flash drive we are talking about here? [17:16] any others here with pidgin problems? cant connect to yahoo account. [17:16] does anyone know if there are newer drivers for nVidia (i'm using the 180 drivers) [17:16] dsdeiz: Non-root users can add cron job with the @reboot macro.

[17:17] I kept typing ziroday , my bad [17:17] ziroday: I would, but how would I define the device? after all, that pen drive isn't always sdX [17:17] its possible use on empathy, http method for msn accounts?

If you keep logs, then check the syslog and messages log files for read errors. You could have them, but the system won't warn you. [17:18] DexterF: you are hardly ever going to hit the wear limit on a usb thumbdrive with everyday use. Sorry. [17:18] is there a way to not display the vanishing files warnings when rsyncing? [17:19] thnx. =) [17:19] Should I re-install Ubuntu? ... that will give me a lot of pain .. :'( [17:19] dsdeiz: Yes. [17:19] my jaunty crashed after installing xorg [17:19] can i revive my jaunty ? [17:20] duryodhan: I can't use uuid on that card reader because each medium will have another uuid and I would have to define a new fstab entry for *every* pen drive that comes into my system 1st time. not viable. [17:20] its possible use on empathy, http method for msn accounts?

[17:22] zer0o: You'll need to go further back. "bread" is a read fault. "beyond end of device" usually means a bad burn.

[17:39] i want to add a resolution [17:39] q0_0p, there isn't a driver listed in there [17:39] q0_0p, many people that think that they need to add a resolution really just need to use a driver that support the resolution they are looking for [17:40] im able to use compiz [17:40] q0_0p, becuase HAL will detect those resolutions [17:40] why isn't driver listed in xorg? [17:40] Titan8990: But, the newer versions don't support that processor I think [17:40] Well I'll try debian [17:40] so my resolutions were already detected and no point in messing with xorg? [17:40] q0_0p, because HAL loads the driver, a xorg.conf is not required as of xorg 1.5, only for proprietary drivers [17:40] ah [17:40] q0_0p, try sudo lshw -C video [17:40] k [17:41] Nationiant, the newest version still supports ppc [17:41] pastebin it of course [17:41] Nationiant, you could have clicked on think that was sent to you twice [17:41] Nationiant, we are not going to install it for you [17:41] Alright I got it...

[17:52] DexterF, udev doesn't mount filesystems [17:53] DexterF: i believe hal is used currently, but i've heard rumours that a move to udev will occur at some point. [17:53] ok [17:53] map(int, some_way_to_break_down_the_string), I imagine? [17:53] Titan8990: it can. [17:53] namd3r, be aware, that page is a bit old... [17:53] Oops [17:53] DexterF, udev only assigns its device name [17:53] Wrong channel.

[17:56] ok [17:56] churl, sorry, got my names mixed up [17:56] i am sure there are programs out there that will tell you that [17:56] it's a bit complicated considering you would have to either custom a script to go digging or just run sed with some regular expressions... [17:56] churl, there is no downgrade path, clean installs are recommended both ways [17:56] Regel, i am trying to rename a bunch of movies from movie cd1.avi & movie cd2.avi so that they are movie.1.avi & movie2.avi [17:56] not sure why someone would go to a bash channel to ask an offtopic sed question, though... [17:57] new2linx, maybe you could try in #sed if it exists [17:57] it does [17:57] oh...well, new2linx, there's this handy utility named rename that ships with perl [17:57] of course it does, what was I thinking.... :) [17:58] zleap: i wouldn't be here asking if i had found those programs [17:58] regeya, ships with perl? isn't it a part or core-utils?

[18:00] cüssss [18:00] ewsubach, I have something [18:01] regeya, confirmed, rename is part of coreutils: http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/fedora/devel/ppc/coreutils-7.2-1.fc11.ppc.html [18:01] have sent to an im windo [18:01] or pm window what ever they are called on irc [18:01] zleap: hold on, may have found something [18:01] i call em spam tabs [18:01] ok [18:02] lol === F|ReSTaRT is now known as FiReSTaRT [18:02] Titan8990: does this matter so much that we have to go offtopic about it? OK, weird, admittedly the linux box here is a debian box and not ubuntu, but a dpkg -S /usr/bin/rename finds nothing. [18:03] O_o [18:04] i was just sending the url of a possible solution to the im window [18:04] regeya, i think dpkg -S wants a package name and apt-file uses a directory path, could be wrong though [18:04] lol regeya Usage: rename [-v] [-n] [-f] perlexpr [filenames] [18:04] regeya, /usr/bin/rename [18:04] una [18:04] er === sharperguy2 is now known as sharperguy [18:04] Linux 2.6.28-11-generic [i686/800.50MHz/SMP] [18:05] the rename on that box, however, is written in perl; original version by larry wall. maybe that's where my confusion lies. that sure mattered! [18:06] space_cadet: thanks, but I'm the one who brought up rename as a *solution* :-> then had Titan8990 give me a lecture about what package it belongs to because I assumed it was a perl app...because my peabrain remembered that it used to be :-} [18:06] using a usb dongle that connects via 3g for PPPo connection, can i query the connection strength? [18:06] [18:06] space_cadet, yeah, he was trying to determine which package in came out of, not its location [18:07] from the perl source. [18:07] dakarn: Generally, no. When I've wanted to do this, I've had to search for chipset-specific utilities. [18:08] dajhorn: so most likely limited to proprietary software from manufacturer?

[18:14] slayton: CXX=gcc-fooversion make [18:15] I can't seem to get hibernation working with a swap file, should I just repartition? [18:15] slayton: eg: export CXX=gcc-4.3 ; ./configure ; # etc [18:15] Guest61669, gksu vmplayer [18:15] dajhorn, ok thanks that is exactly what I needed [18:15] Guest61669, or just type 'v' and hit tab a few times [18:16] Hi for all ! [18:16] slayton: I mixmatched in the example. Ensure that you use `g++` or `gcc` in the right places.

[19:15] i changed my resolution and now totem doesn't work anymore. xorg goes up to 65% and higher if i run a game or something with some graphics now too. any ideas? [19:15] right now i have "awk '{print $3}' crval1_temp.dat > crval1.dat" but that doesn't seem to work [19:16] Now after rewrite.load is in loaded folder, do I need to configure something for "fancy" or "clean" urls?

[19:25] dsgross: Thats not exactly on topic for here. Have you tried asking in #awk or #bash ?

[19:27] maddin: mdadm has his own way of writing on the disk how the RAID5 set is defined. Windows doesn't understand that notation [19:27] usr13: kk thanks [19:27] cybertinus: thanks anyway, means i can stop wasting time on search...

[19:29] Its a script that changes the boot image back everytime I restart :( [19:29] Flannel: Great, I'll look into that. Thanks for your help! [19:30] ironfroggy_: Is there an empty line at the end of your crontab? [19:30] ironfroggy_: local mail [19:30] what permisons should be used for css files [19:30] Flannel: no, but i didnt think there was when the jobs did run earlier today [19:30] is it 755 [19:30] i think i'll be ending up using ~/.gnomerc [19:30] ironfroggy_: Is the account locked? -- If you did a `passwd -l` on the cron user, it won't work. [19:31] Hi everyone [19:31] NativeAngels: css, cascading style sheets for HTML/etc? They need to be readable by the webserver, so they can be served properly (like any other file on the server) [19:31] hello, is anyone running on a NVIdia RAID 1+0 setup here ? Does it work ? Does it require something special ? [19:31] ironfroggy_: You should also pastebin the `crontab -l` output to check for typos. [19:31] Ok i messed with stuff [19:31] I am gonna restart my comp [19:31] Hi gabriel [19:31] and see if it worked [19:31] !zfs [19:31] For information concerning ZFS and Ubuntu, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ZFS [19:31] ironfroggy_: You need to make sure there's an empty line at the end of it, yes (well, actually there has to be a newline at the end of the cron line) [19:31] I would like to know which one is better: Ubuntu or Linux Mint, I have Ubuntu 9.04 but I would like to try Linux Mint [19:31] remoteCTR1 you here??

[19:34] !better | gabeodess [19:34] gabeodess: 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. [19:34] sorry! [19:34] gabriel, that was for you ^^ [19:34] dajhorn: i think it runs my heartbeat script every minute [19:34] ironfroggy_: That will invoke the job every second, and some crons won't let you do that. [19:34] yeah thats not right, my mistake [19:34] ironfroggy_: You probably want something like: */60 * * * * to get once a minute. [19:35] hatter243: for what? [19:35] ironfroggy_: And try to use a lockfile in the script, or somesuch, so that invocations don't run at the same time. [19:35] dajhorn: the finest time measurement used by cron is minutes, isn't it? [19:35] why does * mean "every second" when its in the minute column? [19:35] gabeodess, Sorry, I said, I auto corrected to gabeodess instead of gabriel. Please ignore me [19:35] ironfroggy_: it doesn't [19:35] oha [19:35] oh [19:35] haha [19:35] ok [19:36] that doesnt make any sense now that i think about it [19:36] gabeodess: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [19:36] no problem [19:36] just asking [19:36] Since upgrading to 9.04, the "master" volume control on the "applet" I have added to my Xfce panel has stopped having any effect on the volume at all -- I have to open the mixer and adjust cd, headphone, pcm respectively (what is pcm anyway?) Any suggestions on how to get the master volume to _be_ the master volume again? [19:36] ironfroggy_: * * * * * means "always forever with no waiting between". (Kinda-sorta-mostly.) [19:36] what the, .gnomerc isn't also working [19:36] ironfroggy_: That's pretty much the definition of a daemon or persistent process. [19:37] dsdeiz: use ~/.xprofile [19:37] ironfroggy_: Note that the actual heartbeat package has this behavior built-in. [19:37] dajhorn ironfroggy_ , That's true, you must remember though, the cron daemon only wakes once a minute to check if jobs need to be run. A cronjob with * * * * * will only run once a minute. Never more frequently than that [19:38] hello, i want send email from command line, i use sendEmail but i have this error [19:38] dsdeiz: but what are you actually trying to accomplish?

[19:41] dsdeiz: oh, xmonad. Well I just use ~/.xinitrc to call apps and start xmonad. I use startx, but you can just have gdm use your xinitrc script for the session too [19:42] may i ask how? [19:42] do i write a custom session? [19:42] DeboX, sudo chown -R user /media/mountpoint [19:42] guys why swap partition is off, but when i turn it on when i restart my pc its still off. and tryed turning it on via live cd but it was already on...how cna i fix this? [19:42] dsdeiz: what exactly do you mean? You don't want to use ~/.xinitrc? [19:42] DeboX, "user" being your username and mountpoint being where its mounted [19:43] gabriel, http://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Ext4_Howto [19:43] jrib: that's what i exactly wanted to do.. but it didn't work when i created that file and just put in xsetroot -solid midnightblue [19:43] :( [19:43] ironfroggy_: Run this at a prompt: sudo grep 'CRON.*root' /var/log/syslog [19:43] dsdeiz: did you start xmonad and the last line of ~/.xinitrc?

[19:44] bastidrazor: yes [19:44] FoolsRun, update manger via the GUI will give you a run down [19:44] zohreh: I think you only need to install mailx [19:44] bastidrazor, i dont know what that means by buy partition manager has nothign mounted or anything just the label "swap" [19:44] have an old P IV 1.7 ghz with 512 ram ,,, will ubuntu run well on it? [19:44] zohreh: I think you only need to install mailx [19:44] dsdeiz: yes. And in gdm, you tell it to use your .xinitrc, you don't tell it to start the xmonad session [19:44] Since upgrading to 9.04, the "master" volume control on the "applet" I have added to my Xfce panel has stopped having any effect on the volume at all -- I have to open the mixer and adjust cd, headphone, pcm respectively (what is pcm anyway?)

[19:46] dsdeiz: well that's a system-wide file and you want to make user-specific customizations. So that's icky. I would use ~/.xinitrc or use startupHook in your xmonad.hs [19:46] Flannel: Nope, boot phase still mostly just black. I've got nvidia-glx-new and nvidia-kernel-common and xserver-xorg-video-nv (found by searching for nvidia), maybe the first and the last are in conflict? Should I install and try nvidia-xconfig, or remove one of those packages? [19:46] ok ,,, have plain ubuntu almost DL'd can I jsut install fluxbox into it? [19:46] sorry [19:46] xfce [19:47] SteveK, download xubuntu [19:47] ok [19:47] usr13: after install it, hoe send mail from commandline? [19:47] Thanks again,Ffunk74, that one is better [19:47] dsdeiz: startupHook is problematic because when you restart xmonad, you start your apps again...

[19:48] bastidrazor, i know what xfce is [19:48] thanks [19:48] tannersummers, sudo blkid .. that will give you the correct UUID [19:48] Is there any advice on Ubuntu 9.04 being installed w/3 partitions Root, Home, Swap? [19:48] slayton, that also tells you how to install it [19:48] anyone know how to make `date +%c` do 12-hour time?

[19:51] I think Im going to stay with ext3 better, after all it works fine for me, and changing from ext3 to ext4 seems risky [19:51] tannersummers, change the UUID in fstab to match the output of blkid [19:52] bastidrazor, how? [19:52] tannersummers, unmount swap then run sudo mount -a .. if all works you're done [19:52] gabriel: not a bad idea... i'll stick with ext3 until they iron out ext4.. maybe the next ubuntu upgrade :) [19:52] tannersummers, gksudo gedit /etc/fstab [19:52] there is run xclient script, gnome, failsafe, fluxbox, xmonad..

[20:19] packet-sent: unless the performance loss is too much [20:19] @dajhorn... which packages should I purge? [20:20] bullgard4: perhaps email the list and ask, or email the poster directly [20:20] oosiris: Thia depends on your exact intention. Usually it is not advisable to purge all GNOME DEB program packages. [20:20] oosiris: If you clobbered files in the gnome-panel, then try `apt-get install --reinstall gnome-panel` first. [20:20] okie [20:20] let me check [20:21] Daviey: hrm [20:21] yay i fixed a "sudo: /etc/sudoers is owned by uid 1000, should be 0" error EASILY [20:21] Flannel, thank you very much [20:22] have a question .. how can I create a limited user which cant, for example, browse the hard drive/open files on it === Alexxx_ is now known as BoEng|Alexxx [20:22] racecar56: The interesting thing is... how did sudoers get owned by 1000 ? [20:22] genii, i have no idea [20:22] oosiris: Second, try `apt-get remove --purge libgnome2-0`, which will remove most of Gnome. You'll lose your desktop entirely at that point.

[20:23] not so [20:23] vfat [20:23] oosiris: To put everything back, run `apt-get install ubuntu-desktop`. [20:23] ntemis, mkfs.vfat /dev/xxx [20:23] ntemis, make sure you know the /dev/ thing [20:23] ntemis, do a sudo fdisk -l and that may help [20:23] I have tried just creating a guest kind of account but on that I can still access my hard drives lol [20:24] Steeldevil: Can you give an example of what you don't want the guest to see?

[20:25] Hey everybody, I could use a little guidence. I want to install Jaunty with seperate /, /home, /boot, and /data partitions. I think I have the sizes down, but I am not sure about which should be primary vs. logical and beginning vs. end. Can someone give me some pointers or and idea of where to look?

[20:26] is there any way to upgrade ubuntu from cd, [20:26] racecar56: says it's installed... [20:26] Steeldevil: Check whether the jailer, jailtool, or makejail packages do what you want. [20:26] hmm [20:26] sudo apt-get install dban? [20:26] ntemis, no [20:26] ntemis, it's a live cd [20:26] Xpistos|work: I would make / and /boot primary though [20:26] ok, now my question - my roomate installed ubuntu twice! (along with vista) - is there a way to reclaim the 2GB he mistakenly lost in the first ubuntu install? [20:26] ntemis, but BE CAREFUL you dont blank your own hard drive by mistake === eanda is now known as eanda|away [20:26] @dajhorn, there is also a windows disc in my pc but the guest account can just browse it :P [20:26] misha_: gparted [20:26] Xpistos|work: /data?? typically /home is where your data lives unless you have other intentions for /data [20:26] !gparted > misha_ [20:26] misha_, please see my private message [20:26] hard drive, not cd I mean, cd I wouldnt mind [20:26] martin_: yes with the alternate install cd [20:27] Steeldevil: If you put your guest users in a "jail" or "chroot", they won't be able to see anything on the host system. [20:27] scunizi: I am eventually going to share data between windows and ubuntu, but I am going to format at "/data" partition as NTFS [20:27] Hi, I would like to send an xmessage to the user which is currently using an xsession. How can I do that? I am root and su'ed to that user and tried xmessage 'hi', but I got an error that the display was not valid. [20:27] gparted will allow us to get that small partition and reclaim it into the main ubuntu he installed later? [20:27] Xpistos|work, no [20:27] Xpistos|work, don't make it ntfs [20:27] scunizi: This install however, will be tesiting it all out [20:27] Xpistos|work: why? when there are driver that work well with ext3 on windows [20:27] misha_: you will have to use a live cd to do it but yes. [20:27] Xpistos|work, make it ext2/3 because windows has a ext2/3 driver [20:28] racecar56: I am installing as ext4 [20:28] Xpistos|work, ext2fsd pwns them all [20:28] Xpistos|work, ok, it works for that too [20:28] thanks dajhorn I will look that up [20:28] Really? [20:28] Xpistos|work, yes [20:28] racecar56:dban says is for hhd [20:28] thx - guess ill come back when im infront of that machine! *blueman rox* [20:28] ntemis, last time i used it it was able to blank flash disks [20:28] But I also want to keep my data seperate incase I have to reainstall [20:28] ntemis, i'm shure it can [20:28] even write protected? [20:29] ntemis, welll it blanks the DISK, so yeah [20:29] perfect [20:29] Quick question (maybe), I installed the mad-wifi tools on my eee 900ha for injection support for my alfa, and now my Atheros 5007 isn't showing up. What do i do? [20:29] racecar56: My end plan is way crazy [20:29] hey guys [20:29] TannerS, have you fixed it? [20:29] ntemis, but if you want to be on the safe side just do "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/xxx" where xxx is the flash drive [20:30] another issue is that says [20:30] ntemis, on your ubuntu install [20:30] 12 items, totalling 3.9 GB [20:30] and says free space 15.5 GB [20:30] then 165mb used [20:30] 15.5gb free [20:30] am lost [20:30] TannerS, pastebin your /boot/grub/menu.lst if not [20:31] Anyone recommend a good free stable dns service that isnt going to sell out anytime soon?

Guess theres too much variation in the controllers.. and not enough standards ? :) [20:47] Doing "sudo apt-get upgrade" is now telling me "The following packages have been kept back: amarok amarok-common linux-generic linux-headers-generic linux-image-generic linux-restricted-modules-generic".

[20:47] sebsebseb: heh i guess that is more for WiFi Internet connection more than kdb [20:47] hi, in jaunty recently gnpme applets started crashing upon log in [20:47] it does shwo splahs for about 4 seconds but goes to text na ddoes not show on shutdown [20:47] Dr_Willis, that sounds right [20:47] TannerS, you're not on the latest kernel. have you done updates lately?

[20:47] i see that some of the windows in ubuntu (like config windows) are semi-transparent... where do I turn this off in simple-ccsm ? [20:47] Dr_Willis, it's 2 years old and it has paper blocking a fan :< [20:47] Dr_Willis, it overheats fast [20:48] racecar56: :) its amazing whaat those fans can suck in. [20:48] Dr_Willis: How would I make it appear in gparted/any other GUI partition editor? [20:48] bastidrazor odd enough i just did one few days ago..unless a new one jsut came out and i mean just...or maybe i edited the file wrong :S how can io be sure which version im running [20:48] Dr_Willis, just think: how the heck did it get IN the grill [20:48] hubu: no idea.. tell gparted the exact device.. or use fdisk. I can set up partitions with fdisk inless time then it takes gparted to startup :) [20:49] hubu: what are you even wanting to do to 'partition' it for? [20:49] TannerS, from that menu.lst you are using .11 when the latest available is .13 .. do sudo update-grub [20:49] Dr_Willis: Trying to run androids app from an ext2 partition. [20:49] TannerS, that will detect if other kernels are installed. but yo ushould do sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [20:50] Hey guys, I installed Ubuntu 9.04 like you install it to a HD on my USB drive.

[21:00] Euro: well being an only Ubuntu geek is not that impressive, but being a Linux geek that knows a lot that's something, that means you have to do other distros as well, and not just Ubuntu [21:00] hansa, you don't [21:00] hansa, you use pidgin [21:00] bastidrazor, sebsebseb question, ext3 can be read/writen from Windoes XP / Win 7 ?

[21:03] hansa, ekiga does voip or you can install skype [21:03] My VM peg out at 100% cpu on some things and locks up [21:03] Euro: Ideally you should use opensource/freesoftware alternatives, and find out what this kind of software is really about, by visiting http://www.gnu.org and then going to the philosphey section [21:03] sebsebseb, n0 problem i only play games on my XBOX [21:04] !freedom | Euro [21:04] Euro: freedom is important.

[21:04] its enough 512mb memory for create virtual windows drive? [21:04] open the Synaptic Package Manager and search for WINE [21:04] Euro: apparnatlly Windows 7 will work in a virtual machine on 1GB RAM, and Dreamweaver should be fine, and certain versions can work in Wine same for Photoshop. Photoshop would probably be ok in a vm as well [21:04] install that [21:04] my guess [21:04] ah [21:04] jayaretwo: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[21:08] bigmb: %02d, but again, this is offtopic for here. ##C or #ubuntu-offtopic would be better places for these questions [21:08] i changed my resolution, and now totem doesn't work. I believe that it has to do with xorg.conf [21:08] hi i installed the nvidia drivers and now my log in screen is big [21:08] PastorKarr: The 64-bit Pentium-D and anything afterwards. (Approximately.) [21:08] sebsebseb, i have been researching it a Bit, and this "grub" thing comes up alot! is grub the boot selection @ the start up of tha machine?

[21:18] robertrankinjr: ah, k [21:18] * kevin__ eating chinese food while on ubuntu irc [21:18] sebsebseb: my brother says I have 512 [21:18] TannerS: if your going to attempt hibernate/sleep I think even with 4GB RAM, your meant to have 8GB SWAP. double the RAM. if your not going to bother with that, well you don't really need swap with 4GB RAM [21:18] !swap | TannerS [21:18] TannerS: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [21:18] marshviperX: Ubuntu should run on that [21:18] ty [21:18] hey guys, I've got a bunch of music files in a directory of mine and I'd like to make links to them in another dir, in the format source file=/home/sweetchildofmine/My\ Music/musicfile.mp3 destination link=/playlists/sample/(counter number starting at 25).mp3. Is anyone here skilled enough with bash to make me a simple script to do this? [21:19] sebsebseb: ok thanks, I'm going to try it tomorrow. I gotta go now. Thanks for your help! [21:19] robertrankinjr: actually it looks like that link does work. I'm installing the .desktop files into .local/share/applications instead, though, so it's easier to undo [21:19] marshviperX: there are also other distributions that are better for older hardware and such, if you get any problems with Ubuntu, that you can't just solve [21:19] i connect with numerous ssh servers. one of them uses keys instead of passwords so i store it at ~/.ssh/id_dsa. everytime i connect to any ssh server i am prompted for the keys password. i used to get a gnome dialog that asked for it but only when i connected to that particular server and it would remember until i logged out of my gnome session. anyone know the trick? [21:19] sebsebseb: okay, bye and thanks! [21:19] marshviperX: ok bye [21:19] marshviperX: good luck [21:19] i can some one help me i need ther termalal comand for cheacking any problems runing for any errors [21:19] Can someone help me with 2 problems in Gyache and Pidgin ?

[21:20] I can see the startup session list but I can't remove or add... [21:21] Hi all [21:21] Wunderbar: do you even know what nautilus is by the way? [21:21] it's the file manager :( [21:21] Wunderbar: I think you want a working nautilus since it's the file manager yep [21:21] I use thunar usually [21:21] Wunderbar: it draws your desktop [21:21] no one is a wireless card guru? I'll settle for a wireless noob, as long as you can help [21:21] i am running eeebuntu. i have two internal hard drives, one with the os on it and one that is empty. i have mounted and formatted the other drive, but my system says i dont have privileges to save to the other drive. why is that and what can i do about it? [21:21] !wifi > Tin-man [21:21] Tin-man, please see my private message [21:22] Im using xfce [21:22] Hey -- is "how do I restore the virtual consoles in Jaunty" a FAQ? [21:22] Meniscus, you have to be root or mount the drive with read/write permissions for the user. Try opening a gksudo nautilus and editing the permissions of the root directory of the second drive. [21:22] Hi, I can't use my mouse nor my keyboard, how could I do? [21:22] when I log in [21:23] Anyone have the Line6 driver installed and actually working? [21:23] hello guys, I am installing ubuntu on a RAID 10 SATA Array and I am a little surprise not to see my array mapper listed in gparted. I can see /dev/mapper/nvidia_blabla-0 and /dev/mapper/nvidia_blabla-1 but not the /dev/mapper/nvidia_blabla I would expect. Does that means I should pick any of the one available (they are mirrored anyway...) [21:23] Is uncommenting the proper *fb driver from /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-framebuffer.conf enough to restore the virtual consoles? And which one is it -- the one which corresponds to my X driver? [21:24] sweet: thanks for your help. i have done several tasks that require root, when i do them the system simple prompts me for the root password, why doesnt the same thing happen when i try to edit the priviledges? [21:25] anyone is using RAID ? [21:25] hello, i just installed official nvidia drivers and after reboot, my pc freezes.. xorg.0.log shows "(II) NVIDIA(0): Initialized GPU GART." for many times till end of log.. i just can't run X with nvidia driver, please help [21:25] !anyone | chevdor [21:25] chevdor: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [21:26] guntbert: because I DID already ask the initial question ! [21:26] hello guys, I am installing ubuntu on a RAID 10 SATA Array and I am a little surprise not to see my array mapper listed in gparted. I can see /dev/mapper/nvidia_blabla-0 and /dev/mapper/nvidia_blabla-1 but not the /dev/mapper/nvidia_blabla I would expect. Does that means I should pick any of the one available (they are mirrored anyway...) [21:26] !details | chevdor [21:26] chevdor: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [21:26] guntbert: what detail do u want ? [21:27] * bc sighs [21:27] chevdor: the ones you told jut now :-) [21:27] *just [21:27] guntbert: I felt I was pretty much exhaustive :) at least enough for a start :))) === kevin__ is now known as canadaeh [21:28] hi.how do i install the mysql *info* pages on jaunty ? [21:28] Is there a way to disable the system beep in gnome? like when I hit backspace in an empty text prompt an stuff. . . it's really loud =( [21:28] chevdor: now you were, ok but I'm at a loss with your question, sorry [21:28] henkboom: disconnect your speaker ;) [21:29] nooooooooooooooooooooooooo [21:29] =[ [21:29] =p* [21:29] what permissions should png files have ? [21:29] henkboom: setterm -blength 0 [21:29] henkboom: Will kill the system beep. [21:30] NativeAngels: for displaying them just r is enough, else rw [21:30] guntbert: this is why I asked if ANYONE :))) is using RAID 10 or maybe another RAID, because this is typically the kinda problem people have no idea about until they had the problem themselves. [21:30] dajhorn: that only affects the current terminal though, doesn't it? [21:30] will 775 do / [21:30] ? [21:30] henkboom: System -> Preferences -> Sound Preferences [ ] Play alert sound [21:30] in gtk I'm still getting this beep =( [21:30] anto9us, for your information there were no files not owned by myself [21:30] henkboom: To kill the gnome beep. [21:31] henkboom: You can put the setterm command profile and it should be effective for all sessions. [21:31] henkboom: * in your profile [21:31] dajhorn: for all programs or just terminals? [21:31] Sorry if this is a generic question. I think that there ought to be a simple answer for this but quick googling didn't turn much up. I'm trying to install kvm with vde on Jaunty. The package suggests vde2, I'm not quite sure how to get this going. Do I have to install from source? Do I have to find another repo that offers this? Or is there some other way to do this? In gentoo I would just tweak the use flag... [21:31] henkboom: xset b off [21:31] NativeAngels: 644 is better (you don't want to execute pictures) [21:31] #ubuntu-de [21:31] actually, setting it in the gnome sound preferences has done it [21:32] firefox and regular gtk apps aren't doing it anymore =) [21:32] henkboom: For just the gnome terminal, Edit -> Preferences -> General -> [ ] Terminal bell [21:32] henkboom: You can even set the beepiness for each gnome terminal profile. [21:32] ok, cool [21:33] anto9us, furthermore, there are no unreadable files either [21:33] dajhorn: I'd already done that in gnome-terminal actually, I was getting the beeps in gtk apps. Disabling it in the gnome sound preferences fixed it though === Swing is now known as Zakke [21:36] hello im having problems with my sound no working [21:36] not* [21:37] !sound | dominic_ [21:37] dominic_: 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 [21:37] dominic_: has it ever worked? does it work for anything? [21:38] um yes it has but its not working this time [21:38] ubottu its selected ;( [21:38] Sorry, I don't know anything about its selected ;( [21:38] dominic_: oh after the kernel update? [21:38] i do not know what you mean [21:39] dominic_: there was a kernel update recently, and there was at least someone, who after using the new kernel didn't have sound working, but that wasn't her issue, but it might be yours. I mean if all the sound stuff looks ok [21:39] dominic_: open the sound preferences, anything muted? [21:39] hum [21:39] nope [21:40] everything is on [21:40] dominic_: ok sound isn't really my area, but since this channel is not that active right now, I thought I would at least attempt to help a bit [21:41] dominic_: open the terminal and run uname -r which kernel are you running? [21:41] hello i partition my HDD, then u do mkfs -t ntfs /dev/sda7 , is that right? want to format it with ntfs file system ! [21:41] kad_: NTFS why? [21:41] 2.6.24-16-generic [21:42] dominic_: oh an older kernel, which version are you on? [21:42] sebsebseb, it's my next HDD , i got windows xp and Ubuntu, i want also when i go to xp to check the HDD files [21:42] um [21:42] let me see [21:42] hello chaps, got a quick question, is gnome 'classed' as the primary desktop in ubuntu? [21:42] !version | dominic_ [21:42] dominic_: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy » [21:42] 8.04 LTD [21:42] LTS [21:42] * [21:42] dominic_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:42] dominic_: yes thought it was 8.04 LTS [21:43] coolio [21:43] so what do i do um im knew to ubuntu [21:43] dominic_: that's a bit old really, well yeah it is old, it just gets security updates for longer than 8.10 and 9.04 [21:43] sebsebseb, is what i did right? [21:43] yea i kno i got old distro back in like may or something last year i dont know and yea i found it thought i would you know try it [21:44] so do i need to upgrade it [21:44] kad_: you could do a Ext3 data partition, and put on a driver in Windows for it [21:44] kad_: Ubuntu can also read and write to NTFS and Fat32 [21:45] How would I find out exactly what type of hardware I am using? (Jaunty) [21:45] hello chaps, got a quick question, is gnome 'classed' as the primary desktop in ubuntu? [21:45] sebsebseb, i was having Fat32 (vfat), it read and write but can't change owner like these permissions, here told me to use ntfs-3g [21:45] dominic_: you can do an Internet upgrade to 8.10, but you may end up with ethernet that no longer works, becasue of some bug or whatever it is [21:45] anyone smart on the netbook-launcher aka netbook remix launcher? [21:45] dominic_: happended to me, and other people [21:46] o thats great why would you release a distro that dont work right god [21:46] dominic_: I think it's an issue with the repo maybe, not sure [21:46] o right [21:47] so what would you suggest i do [21:47] What is the command to find out the exact system specs I have? [21:47] dominic_: also I think it's something that is happening recently when certain people upgrade 8.04.2 to 8.10, but I don't know [21:47] k [21:47] hi, does anyone know which package contains the gnome appearance settings panel? i'm running openbox and i want to get that control panel back [21:47] I'm trying to exclude some partitions from being displayed in the right panel but either I'm not putting the exclude list in the right place or it doesnt work [21:48] dominic_: 8.10 is nice, 9.04 is ok, but it's not quite worth upgrading to really. 9.10 is the next one and released at the end of October [21:48] dominic_: you can't just upgrade 8.04 to 9.04 anyway, because you would have to go through 8.10 [21:48] hello sir, whenever i click on update manager... it shows 4 broken packages in my computer..it says select broken filter to sort out it.. but i don't know how to do it.. can u pls help me on this matter? === KennethP_ is now known as KennethP [21:48] dominic: if you want to try out a different version you could always use a live cd to test hardware compatibility [21:49] ok [21:49] ? [21:49] of course. The Dimension 2400 my parents bought and have used only a few times has a bad motherboard, when they finally get DSL. [21:49] dominic_: if you upgrade to 8.10 and it works, no ethernet issue, your sound issue may also go away, but there is bound to be a way to fix it in 8.04.2 [21:50] kad_: if one wants to allow ALL users full permission to a mounted vfat filesystem. you can use the 'umask=0000' option. for example -> /dev/hda3 /mnt/win1 vfat users,owner,rw,umask=000 0 0 (example taken from -> http://linuxtuts.blogspot.com/2008/01/how-to-mount-fat32-or-vfat-partition-in.html ) [21:50] dominic_: yeah that was a good idea, go to pm, since this is sort of off topic really [21:50] yep [21:50] hello sir, whenever i click on update manager... it shows 4 broken packages in my computer..it says select broken filter to sort out it.. but i don't know how to do it.. can u pls help me on this matter?

[21:53] What is the command to find out the exact system specs I have? [21:53] ATI [21:53] Amorstus, lspci [21:53] thanks [21:53] Its like: Use Pendrive (USB Flash Drive) to store system files [21:53] You can also use lshw [21:53] BryanC: Did you install special driver for it? Or is it still using the default one? [21:54] usr13: [21:54] usr13: they were default. [21:54] BryanC: sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf ; /etc/init.d/gdm restart [21:55] BryanC: sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf ; sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [21:55] What do I need to play .m4p files?

[21:58] Mike_lifeguard: Are these itunes files? [21:58] jrib: I'm using Ubuntu, there is no prompt, esc doesn't work and neither does ctrl-d or ctrl-c already tried fastboot paramter in grub as well [21:58] yes [21:58] whts "blocked updates ? [21:58] BenFranske: are you not using usplash? [21:58] usr13: yes [21:58] does anyone know why my sound dont work [21:58] Mike_lifeguard: Well, I don't know then. [21:58] dedicated server without X or splash screen [21:58] ok, thanks anyways [21:59] Persistent USB Drive. What is this? [21:59] ubuntu is too buggy for real use [21:59] there r 4 " blocked update " in updates list, any idea ? [21:59] they need to sort out linux if they want to become like macosx or WIndows === yeehaw is now known as bucky [21:59] BenFranske: well one way would be to touch /fastboot then. If recovery mode skips the check, you can create the file that way [22:00] dominic_: for people to be able to help with sound issues you need to be more specific, which soundcard you have for example [22:00] dominic: I would say that is a gross overstatement.

[22:22] I MADE that and my xorg.conf desapears frostburn: Maybe he could do: rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf ; sudo nvidia-settings ? [22:22] when i try to save appears failed [22:23] ruif13, weird, i'd back it up and restore manually [22:23] enduser000: maybe your orientation of the monitors is wrong, try going through the edges of the other screens [22:23] !english | gfmniky_ [22:23] gfmniky_: The #ubuntu, #kubuntu and #xubuntu channels are English only. For a complete list of channels in other languages, please visit http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat [22:24] Is it possible to change the default working directory in the terminal? [22:24] Failed to parse existing X config file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' [22:24] NO U! [22:24] iv installed ubuntu cli on my desktop, i use to just be able to install nvidia-glx and it would install whatever i needed, now im asked to install the exact driver... how do i know what to choose ? [22:24] no, going through the corners doesn't even work. I have it set on separate X screen so the external monitor has its own set of panels [22:24] Dr_Willis, i did the same u told me with vfat, still i can't read/write i put options same : users,owner,ro,umask=000 0 0 [22:25] thomc: What do you mean "default working directory"? [22:26] thomc: You mean your $HOME/ directory? [22:26] usr13: when I open up a terminal I'd like the current directory to be /home/Desktop instead of /home [22:26] Can you take some configurations out of a kickstart file and put them in a file that uses the d-i (debian-installer) commands to preseed an installation? [22:26] thomc: Why? [22:26] the website says to contact 'us' if we want to inquire about a different flavor of desktop environment for installation; I was thinking XBMC [22:27] usr13: for convenience; most of the files I work with are on the desktop. [22:27] usr13: the whole ubuntu freezes up whenever I move a firefox bookmark.. Any ideas why? [22:27] thomc: I suppose you can create a launcher that will open a terminal to Desktop/ [22:28] usr13: ok, thanks. [22:28] I'm having troubles using my second screen that I have set on "separate X screen" in the nvidia-settings manger. does anyone know why I can't get the mouse over there? [22:28] iv installed ubuntu cli on my desktop, i use to just be able to install nvidia-glx and it would install whatever i needed, now im asked to install the exact driver... how do i know what to choose ? can anyone help me out with this?

[22:29] i did with vfat parition using options on mount, still i can't read/write i put options : users,owner,ro,umask=000 0 0 why! thx [22:29] Cry__Baby: Sorry, I've never experienced such a problem, I have no idea what could cause such an anomaly [22:29] @dajhorn... reinstalling gnome-panel does didnt work :( === clifford is now known as lesshaste [22:29] can u tell me where I can see the gnome logs [22:29] ok [22:29] gnome application logs.. because it doesnt come in Xorg.0.log filw [22:30] 100 internet points and a free DVD home showing of 'Up' to anyone who can help. [22:30] oosiris: You've pooched the system by overwriting a critical package with local software. I don't have any more advice. [22:30] last time this happened, one command fixed it, it may have been permissions, but bollocks if I can remember [22:30] :( [22:30] thomc: you can also alter the bash bwehavior by modifying your bashrc file. just google bashrc and there is a ton of stuff you can do to [22:30] oosiris: Well, maybe one more. Remove ~/.gnome* ... [22:30] whats the best of reinstall without loosing my session? [22:30] oki [22:30] oosiris: But you'll lose most settings. [22:31] swivels: ok, thanks. [22:31] <|newbie|> hello. Who can tell me if someone can chose a town in Paris, France in gweather-applet? I can choose only "Paris" : there is no subcategory for instance: Orly, Roissy charles de Gaulle, Le Bourget. [22:32] is there any hardware support channel for fujitsu siemens laptop? i want to clean the cpu cooler and dont know how to part the laptop [22:32] ortsvorsteher: try #hardware [22:32] I'm having troubles using my second screen that I have set on "separate X screen" in the nvidia-settings manger. does anyone know why I can't get the mouse over there? [22:32] thx thomc [22:33] oosiris: I'll commit heresy and suggest that you backup your home folder and reinstall. You'll probably spend less time doing a reinstall than troubleshooting a hosed system. [22:33] @dajhorn that also didnt help.. [22:33] oki.. [22:33] thanks for the help thoug. [22:33] though* [22:33] oosiris: (Sorry.) [22:33] I will try limiting my changes to vm machines next time on,,, [22:34] oosiris: Never, ever, overwrite system packages with anything you got from `make install`. :P [22:34] thomc: just tried... adding 'cd Desktop' at the end of ~/.bashrc works [22:34] <|newbie|> . [22:34] then how shd I install custom packages> [22:34] ? [22:35] as in if I require a application X which is available as source dode [22:35] code* [22:35] oosiris: The best way is to build a deb file and install that. [22:35] oosiris: Explore the `apt-get source --build foopackage` command. [22:35] oosiris, with dpkg-buildpackage [22:35] I want to use Firefox 3.5 in ubuntu but when I uninstall Firefox 3 links no longer work. Is there a way to change the default from Firefox 3 to Firefox 3.5 [22:35] |newbie|: if the location is not in the list then I don't think it is available, no. [22:36] can I somehow sanbox and create a local lib dir.. [22:36] that I temporarily use for installations [22:36] dajhorn, i believe that downloads the available sources from the repos [22:36] oosiris: You can quite often get more recent packages from the unstable repository. [22:36] and then cleanly remove once I am done.. [22:36] dajhorn, dpkg-buildpackage for when you have your own source [22:36] <|newbie|> thomc: Yes it is!!! that the problem :) [22:36] these are packages not available in repo. [22:36] I was actually trying to install the Pringo social networking platform [22:37] and it requires a whole lot of compilation shit... [22:37] oosiris: Hmmm. There is a front-end on apt that let's you do make && make install in a safe way. [22:37] from source [22:37] Hi guys, can someone help me with a jaunty problem. I have just plugged in a usb disk and lsusb shows it on bus0 chanel 6, but I do not have a /dev/sb??? device for it. sudo blkid does not list it either [22:37] okie [22:37] let me explore that. [22:37] oosiris: I don't remember the package name. [22:37] VCoolio: so it does. Thank you. [22:37] oosiris: auto-apt? Perhaps somebody here can suggest the right name. [22:37] <|newbie|> thomc: Look in locations.xml: there is LFPO, LFPG, LFPB (the data used for "Paris") [22:37] dekushrub: in system > prefs > preferred applications you can change default browser (to firefox-3.5 I think you need); also in firefox prefs you can check if it is default browser and set as such [22:38] so all in all u r saying that on ubuntu I shd desist from compiling sources and doing make installs. [22:38] oosiris: Yes. Never mess with the packaging system. [22:39] whats the difference from a primary partition ad a extented? [22:39] JayX: Extended partitions are actually inside a primary partition. [22:40] JayX: Due to quirks of history, PC-style computers can only have a maximum of four primary partitions, which are real partitions. [22:40] wait aren't logical partitions inside an extended? [22:41] dajhorn so if i am partitioning my drive to install win xp along with ubuntu i should make 1 primary partition (the whole drive) and then devide the primary into extented? [22:41] JayX: You'll get goofy drive letters if you put Microsoft Windows in an extended partition. [22:42] dajhoorn so make 2 primary partitions [22:42] <|newbie|> thomc: In fact: All the (big) cities which have more than one airport (ex: London, Paris, NewYork....) had choices (equals to there number of airport) in Ubuntu 8.10. Now, I can see only one; the triangle for multiple choice has disappeared in 9.04. Can you confirm it on your system? [22:42] JayX: Most modern partitioning tools will hide the primary/extended complexity from you. [22:42] dajhorn so make 2 primary partitions , im in Gparted @ the momemnt [22:42] hey, I have two monitors set up with nvidia-settings (separate X screen) and when I use "enable xinerama" I can't use the compiz engine and I can't get to the other screen. when I don't have it enabled I still can't get to the other monitor [22:42] @dajhorn - Auto apt helps in installing missing dependencies [22:42] does anyone know how this would work? [22:43] oosiris: There is a tool that does exactly what you need, I just never use it, so I can't remember the name. [22:43] Hi guys, can someone help me with a jaunty problem. I have just plugged in a usb disk and lsusb shows it on bus 1 channel 6, but I do not have a /dev/sb??? device for it. sudo blkid does not list it either. How can I mount this disk? [22:43] JayX: Yes, you can do it that way. [22:43] JayX: If you've got a clean disk, then I recommend that you install XP first, Ubuntu second, and let the installers partition for you. [22:43] |newbie|: yes, I am running 8.10 and I have a choice for Paris. Unfortunately I'm not a position to confirm if that's the case in 9.04. [22:44] <|newbie|> thomc: thank you [22:44] what program is most similar to note pad in windows [22:44] erik__: gedit [22:44] erik__: try leafpad [22:44] gedit [22:44] dajhorn ok last question, i;d rather partition it into 3 2 for the OS's and one for Data (to share between ubu and XP) what file system do i neeed [22:44] erik__: gedit [22:44] i want to know where i can find a nickserv [22:45] is that in add remove [22:45] or do i have to search for it [22:45] JayX: FAT32 is perfectly supported by both operating systems. [22:45] erik__: gedit is installed already. [22:45] erik__: "add remove"? [22:45] erik__: installed already.. either alt+f2 and type gedit /path/to/filen.ame [22:46] erik__: gedit is an application, you run it / use it. It is a simple text editor. [22:46] i on xubuntu [22:46] erik__: or applications accessories text editor [22:46] erik__: kedit [22:46] dajhorn ok thanks! I will make the third partition FAT32 (the data partition, so i can share files between them booth) [22:46] erik__: There are also command line edotors like joe or nano or vim [22:46] hi === Cybert1nus is now known as Cybertinus [22:46] erik__: I use vim [22:47] lol [22:47] erik__: command line editors would take a while to get used to.. more useful if you're a hardcore programmer.. for casual text editing, stick with gedit :) [22:47] i see mouse pad [22:47] no [22:48] I just installed Ubuntu. Now I've configured it in such a way that /boot has its own partition. And I mount that read-only. After the basic installation there was a kernel upgrade. I tried to apply that upgrade with /boot still mounted read-only, so it failed. But when is that upgrade tried again? [22:49] Cybertinus: sudo mount /boot -o remount,rw [22:49] then rerun the upgrade manager [22:49] erik__: mousepad is the default text editor in xubuntu; it should be similar to notepad in Windows. [22:49] Cybertinus: i'd try this.. can't guarantee that it'll work but no harm in trying.. remount it so you can read and write and run the update manager [22:49] Cybertinus: system/administration/updatemanager [22:49] i meant word pad === eanda|away is now known as eanda [22:49] rich text [22:50] erik__: stick with openoffice then [22:50] abi word is there [22:50] dminus, FiReSTaRT, guntbert: ok, thnx. Gonna try :) === rww_ is now known as Guest4715 [22:50] erik__: OpenOffice is very good. Use it. === Guest4715 is now known as rww_ [22:50] see abi word wont let me paste [22:51] my mythfrontend is returning "XvMCWrapper: Could not load hardware specific XvMC library "#libXvMC.so.1". in the log. i am using a Nvidia 6200 with the NVIDIA UNIX x86 Kernel Module 169.12. I have grainy playback and recordings thru s-video into my PVR-350 where it wasn't grainy before I upgraded to Hardy [22:51] erik__: But you caould install koffice sudo apt-get install koffice [22:51] erik__: or openoffice.. sudo apt-get install openoffice [22:51] dminus, FiReSTaRT, guntbert: I just remounted it read-write, and then I run apt-get update && apt-get upgrade && apt-get dist-upgrade. There aren't any new versions available. So then it is installed? [22:51] oops, thought I was in mythtv-ubuntu [22:51] Anyone know how to disable anonymous access to Proftpd application ? [22:52] Cybertinus: just for s&g i'd do it via gui as it may have already downloaded the package... system, admin, update manager and check for updates :) [22:52] erik__: or abiword if you prefer sudo apt-get install abiword [22:52] ok [22:52] firestart hey what file system should I partition a drive to so i can install ubuntu ( i am in GParted @ the momment) [22:52] n [22:52] dminus, FiReSTaRT, guntbert: I already had /boot remounted before. The last update run just downloaded everything and then failed on the /boot partition that was mounted read only. Then I remounted it read-write, and started the upgrade again. So it is possible that it is installed already :) [22:52] abi word is installed [22:53] Cybertinus: won't hurt to retry [22:53] Cybertinus: type uname -r [22:53] erik__: OpenOffice is feature rich. You will like it for sure. [22:53] firestart hey what file system should I partition a drive to so i can install ubuntu ( i am in GParted @ the momment) [22:53] JayX: run ext3 for now.. once they iron out ext4 you can always chage it up [22:53] FiReSTaRT: also the update manager has nothing [22:53] chage=change [22:53] Cybertinus: in that case you're golden :) [22:53] JayX: Just leave free-space [22:53] guntbert: 2.6.28-13-generic [22:54] FiReSTaRT: ok, nice :) === |newbie| is now known as METEO [22:54] JayX: Just leave an empty, un-partitoned space on the drive. [22:54] JayX: actually usr13 is correct you can leave it as free space and then select it once you run the installer [22:54] Cybertinus: thats ok [22:54] how can i test pulseaudio on a cli system [22:54] any remember wordpad from windows [22:54] erik__: Yes, I don [22:54] do* [22:54] erik__: not too fondly :) [22:54] thats wat im looking for [22:54] usr13 well im partitioning my drive into 3 primary drives (Ubuntu, Win XP, and DATA(for mp3/movies/pics) firestart [22:55] is firefox the best webbrowser [22:55] join #networking [22:55] erik__: Yes [22:55] guntbert: ok, nice :). Then I have the new kernel :) [22:55] JayX: so create the doze/data partitions and leave whatever you want for ubuntu as free space [22:55] erik__ hell yes [22:55] erik__: in most cases, yes [22:55] the thing about firefox 3 is the bookmarks [22:55] erik__: but it's a matter of preference if you like it or not [22:55] erik__: so far it is.. i prefer to use opera but it doesn't play well with 64bit ubuntu [22:55] JayX: Just leave the amount of space you want to use for the Ubuntu install un-partioned. [22:55] its not as simple as in firefox 2 [22:56] anybody have any luck watching Netflix instant videos on ubuntu? right now I have no other OS's [22:56] usr13 firestart thanks. [22:56] another question: I'm pretty new to Ubuntu, but I have used different distributions before: how often does the kernel version change? I mean: does 9.04 always uses 2.6.28, or does it switch to 2.6.29 or 2.6.30 at some point? [22:56] what is the recommend irc program [22:56] nicccc: Your only choice is a VM. Silverlight doesn't work in WINE yet. [22:56] erik__ Xchat [22:56] erik__: xchat... get the regular package, not xchat-gnome [22:56] wow nice, lots of peeps here [22:56] Cybertinus: The interval is undetermined. [22:57] usr13: ok, but 2.6.29 or 2.6.30 do get in 9.04? I don't have to wait for 9.10 before I get 2.6.30? :) [22:57] firestart regular xchat pagckage? i have xchat-gonme whats the regular one?? [22:57] dajhorn: are there other vm's that support silverlight? any other suggestions? [22:57] xchat 2.8.6 [22:57] Cybertinus: if they get released in about 5 months, you're golden :P [22:58] erik__: I use irssi but, to each his own. Open-Source applications are personal preference. [22:58] nicccc: Silverlight works fine in VirtualBox, VMware, Qemu, et al. [22:58] JayX: easier to use yet more feature-rich :) [22:58] remember im new to linx [22:58] linux [22:58] FiReSTaRT: well, 2.6.30 is released just last week. And it has some nice new features I want to use ;). So that's why I'm asking ;) [22:58] erik__ me and you are on the same page! week one for me :P [22:58] dajhorn: which is best for a cheap noob like myself? [22:59] Cybertinus: oops they also have to get tested by ubuntu devs just to make sure they play well :) [22:59] Cybertinus: If you have particular needs for a particular kernel version, you can install it and use it, but that is an advanced proceedure. [22:59] FiReSTaRT: I'm used to Gentoo, which is a rolling release distro. My Gentoo computer runs 2.6.30 for little more then a week now ;) [22:59] hi there. does somebody know a place to get a little bluefish/php question answered? [22:59] nicccc: VirtualBox and QEMU are both packaged in Ubuntu. [22:59] firestart ohh how so i install the "regular" package [22:59] anyone know a fix for dxgrab mouse fix for playing games in wine? [22:59] dajhorn: awesome...i'll check that out...thanks for the advice! [22:59] JayX: lets do it through synaptic as im not 100% sure about the package names.. fire it up :) [22:59] i mean, my mouse cursor never gets "grabbed" and hits the edge of screen when I'm "freelooking" in games [22:59] usr13: ok. I'm gonna look for some howto or documentation on how to do that then :) [22:59] mambokurt: #php === cs278|laptop_ is now known as cs278|laptop [23:00] JayX: type "xchat" (no quotation marks) into the search field [23:00] Cybertinus: If you deviate the default kernel version, you move into the area of an experimental OS. [23:00] need some help guys [23:00] usr13, FiReSTaRT: 2.6.30 has a few performance improvements in the disk encryption section. I've got my entier Ubuntu install encrypted (except for /boot), so a speed improvent I would benefit from ;) [23:00] click on the green square next to xchat-gnome and click on mark for complete removal [23:00] firestart ok [23:01] trying to build from source [23:01] firestart ok but im using it now complete removal/??

That is what dual boot is invented for ;) (1 that just works, 1 that I can destroy :p [23:01] JayX: then click on the white square next to xchat and click on mark for installation [23:01] _ [23:01] Cybertinus: See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile [23:01] JayX: copy my notes into gedit ;) [23:01] hey can anyone tell me why I can't move my mouse to my external monitor? I have it set on separate x screen and it has it's own panels but it won't let me move there [23:01] configure: error: At least one of ncursesw/ncurses/pdcurses/curses library must be present [23:01] JayX: then you fire up xchat and get back in here :) [23:01] firestart k doing that [23:01] what i miss? [23:02] firestart k hold on let me do it on my laptop === Jabraltr_ is now known as Jabraltr [23:02] jay what got u interested in ubuntu [23:03] !ot | erik__ [23:03] erik__: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [23:03] Cybertinus: that's interesting as i wanted to play around with encryption.. since i'm not hardcore into it, i can wait until it gets released and learn for now :P [23:03] Hi all.. I have this issue with ramzswap being used for hibernation instead of my diskswap? any ideas [23:04] FiReSTaRT: well, it actually isn't that hard to setup :). Just download the alternative install CD, and select the option during the partition section :) [23:04] configure: error: At least one of ncursesw/ncurses/pdcurses/curses library must be present [23:04] FiReSTaRT: and you *must* have an sperate /boot partion, which *isn't* encrypted. Otherwise you can't boot :) [23:04] Hi, I'm trying to build a python library that uses cpp (yapgvb) in ubuntu, and I'm getting this error: "error: types.h: No such file or directory" [23:04] what i must install to continue? [23:05] t [23:05] Cybertinus: that might even wait until ubuntu 9.10 or i can just try it out on the desktop where i have jaunty beta currently installed when i get back to canada [23:05] <|thomson|> hey ho :) .. I was wondering whether it's possible to encrypt the whole ubuntu system partition using truecrypt.. in windows that's no problem [23:05] Cybertinus: dont wanna screw around with my only computer on this continent :P [23:05] |thomson|: talk to Cybertinus ;) [23:05] |thomson|: you can encrypt with whatever they have on the alternate CD [23:06] FiReSTaRT: heh, yeah that sound like a sensible idea, to keep you're only computer working :p [23:06] |thomson|: when doing a clean install [23:06] I'm not sure what the attraction to encrypted filesystem is. Can someone enlighten me to what advantages one would enjoy with encrypted file-systems? [23:06] |thomson|: even though i think you could do it post-install with truecrypt but i haven't tried it.. so far i've only used other implementations of it (memory sticks and files) [23:07] sebsebseb, |thomson|: the alternate install uses the kernel encryption modules, which is a part of the device mapper [23:07] sebsebseb, |thomson|: which is something different then TrueCrypt [23:07] How do you install Windows Live mail with wine? [23:07] |thomson|: you didn't have to pm me that, and yes there is an option on the alternate CD to have a clean install encrypted [23:07] usr13: in case someone steals your computer and tries to get into your personal data, they're basically s.o.l. [23:07] amseidler: mail??? do you mean messenger? [23:08] sebsebseb: No, I mean mail [23:08] sebsebseb, |thomson|: but with the kernel encryption module you can encrypt your enter system (except for /boot) :). I'm running such a system now (on my Eee 901, installed on an SD-card, which makes it *SLOW* :p) [23:08] usr13: it's also useful for us that are a bit on the paranoid side when it comes to the government :P [23:08] amseidler: some sort of email client from Microsoft? well you can use web based Hotmail and such in a browser with Linux [23:08] what do I need to change in exim on ubuntu so I can send out and relay if authenticated? [23:08] FiReSTaRT: Oh yes. Laptops... etc. Well, I don't live in the city and some of those things I'm a bit out of touch with. [23:08] sebsebseb: I don't like webbased email [23:08] I prefer a client [23:09] usr13: well if it's a lap top, and it gets stolen, people can't just get into the data [23:09] FiReSTaRT: Thanks for the explaination. [23:09] <|thomson|> sebsebseb: sry my irc client suggested me to do so ;) .. ok that's my next question: is there any loss of performance when I use it?

I have it set on separate x screen and it has it's own panels but it won't let me move there [23:09] usr13: same goes for desktops :) a crackhead will steal anything that's not nailed down to the floor :P [23:09] I just installed sun-java6-jre but I have no 'java' or 'javac' on my path.
