[00:00] www.ubuntu.com [00:00] i see [00:00] i am downloading live cd at present [00:00] Guest38194: Don't worry. Just come back here when you have issues and we'll help you. Back up your data to somewhere else. [00:00] im a two week newbie, ive learned it quick [00:00] back to my issue tho [00:00] :-/ [00:00] ok kinja-sheep [00:00] I've been sitting all day with the problem mentioned above. :-/ === don is now known as Guest73048 [00:00] kinja-sheep: on my rc file, above the concurrency=shell option, there is detailed information about insserv. read it! it is recommended to install this package [00:01] most of what people think ubuntu learning is really learning gnome. It is more about how you learn to use your desktop then anything else. In that it is no harder or easier then learning other desktops [00:01] http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/download_main.html Guest38194 [00:01] using xchat is there a way to gag the join/quit messages? [00:01] darrell, right click on channel name [00:01] bazhang ok i take a look at the address that u gave me [00:01] back to my question tho, trying to get yahoo messenger to run, any tricks, got the new paging server but kopete rejects it [00:02] kinja-sheep: so... bootchart is installed... reboot the machine and check /var/log/bootchart. there is a png file there that shows how fast your linux is booting [00:02] oh thanks bazhang, I'm trying this xchat_speak perl plugin [00:02] toter: What's the file path again? (Btw, this small computer was freshly installed today so good time). === Guest73048 is now known as don0rism [00:02] hi, My webcam Logitech quickam 9000 pro it's supposed to work on 1600x1200, but it only shows with luvcview a 800x600 max resolution!! [00:03] toter: Got it. I forget the init.d [00:03] kinja-sheep: /etc/init.d... and then sudo nano rc [00:04] toter: Lol. Making it faster by rearranging the scripts and such. Got it. ;0 [00:05] i am downloading ubuntu-9.04-desktop-i386.iso <<--is it okay... [00:05] hey guys im having a problem running mIRC on wine, any ideas? [00:05] is it live cd.. [00:05] hoolz, what is the problem? [00:05] Guest38194: Do you have 64 processor? Yes, it's a live CD. [00:05] it wont install [00:05] How do I connect to another server? [00:05] its nnamescript mIRC [00:05] a popular irc [00:05] trece8, disable SDL hardware acceleration [00:06] This one won't work? [00:06] i dont know, is it 64 processor or not, is there any way that i could find it... [00:06] hoolz: Use XChat -- What is wrong with that? [00:06] crashanddie_, thanks... from where? [00:06] i dont understand this yahoo issue, anyone having luck with a correction === KlingaN1 is now known as KlingaN [00:06] well nname script just has a lot of nice scripts [00:06] Guest38194: Can you give us any details about your machine? Model. Anything? What does the information on your Windows say? [00:06] trece8, also try getting the latest linux-uvc driver from berlios [00:06] ok kinja-sheep,,wait [00:06] I just installed 9.04 on my Netbook (HP Mini 2133) but I am having serious problems with my external monitor due to the VIA-graphics. I am thinking of installing 8.10 - is there any way to revert to an earlier version of a kernel? (I've never had 8.10 before) [00:07] kinja-sheep: show me the pngeeeee! [00:07] KlingaN, The version number in Ubuntu doesn't specifically relate to the kernel [00:07] crashanddie_, didn't work, i mean, with luvcview -L show up to 800x600 with mpeg image and with YUYV only up to 172x128 or so pixels!! [00:07] KlingaN, it's based on the whole package you install [00:07] Ah, ok. I havn't got the hang of it [00:07] i'll try that with berlios [00:07] trece8, http://blog.gnist.org/article.php?story=Linux_and_LogitechQuickCamPro9000 [00:07] toter: Okay. I'll reboot this. How do I get the png? Will it be saved on Desktop? [00:07] Can I make my 9.04 version into 8.10 ? [00:07] system: windows xp sp3, intel pentium III processor 794MHz, 384MB of RAM [00:08] it will be saved at /var/log/bootchart [00:08] toter: Roger roger. [00:08] i read that, crashanddie_ but the bigger resolutions POP out for that guy, for me, no [00:08] is that 64..or others [00:08] trece8, follow the instructions for the driver [00:08] ok [00:08] Anyone else have issues with todiscgui in 9.04? It seems as if everything works fine right up until you actually try to create the disk...it generates the command line that would be needed to start the process running but never actually runs it [00:08] KlingaN, are you reading what I'm saying? [00:08] Guest38194: I'm here. 64 what? Yes. 64. [00:08] KlingaN, yes a full RE-install [00:08] processor mobi=sheep [00:09] KlingaN, those are ubuntu releases. They are packages built arround a pacakge manager. The kernel, which is really linux, is simply one of those thousands of pacakges [00:09] KlingaN, there is no way to downgrade an OS install. Full re-install required [00:09] Question: Which is the simpliest way to make my EXT4-partition into Ubuntu 8.10 - I have currently got version 9.10. [00:09] Ah, okay. [00:09] Guest38194: Your Windows XP / Vista have some information. Right-click on My Computer and click Properties. [00:09] 9.10 KlingaN ? [00:09] KlingaN, you can run a 2.4 kernel if you want, as long as the software you run does not rely on a device that was added in 2.6 [00:09] bazhang, nevermind [00:09] mdm, don't confuse him [00:10] I used GParted during the install to make the partitions - can I keep them and just replace the contents of my EXT4-partition with 9.04 Jaunty on it? [00:10] KlingaN, do you want 8.10 or 9.04/ [00:10] KlingaN, you are using alpha 9.10 ? [00:10] libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3: [00:10] cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [00:10] mobi-sheep: /var/log/bootchart [00:10] can someone tell me how to fix that [00:10] mdm: Alright, does that make me able to use the binary driver VIA has released for 8.10 which enables me to use an external monitor? [00:10] !please | paav1 [00:10] paav1: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !patience [00:11] it's too long to download :( tired of waiting:( [00:11] bazhang: No sorry, I meant Jaunty. [00:11] but i have to [00:11] KlingaN, I think you're confused with version numbers, download the version you want, burn a CD and do a full install. Delete all the partitions and start anew. Use the basic partition settings of the Ubuntu installer -- no need to make it hard on yourself [00:11] KlingaN, binary drivers are for kernels, they sometimes package them according to a certain disto but rarely are kept up to date as one version (take 8.10) has multiple minor kernel revisions that they do not keep up with [00:11] Guest38194, the torrent may be faster [00:11] mdm, not helping [00:11] i dont know hot to use torrent [00:12] Guest38194: If you can't wait, keep using windows then [00:12] KlingaN, just stick with whats in the repository, menaing someone already did all that matching for you [00:12] but it's ok, it's almost 5% done [00:12] toter :( i dont wanna use windows, i wanna learn linux [00:12] Is there a way to tell if my processor suports SSE/SSE2 . . . etc. [00:12] Chaorain: yes. [00:12] Chaorain: yep [00:12] how? [00:12] Guest38194: it's only 700 mb, it is going to be rewarding [00:13] Chaorain, cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep flag [00:13] yes i see toter [00:13] i am waiting for the cd [00:13] 6%done [00:13] mdm: Okay, that sounds fair. This is my first time and day on Ubuntu. I am sitting on a 9" Netbook (HP Mini 2133) which uses a Chrome9 graphics adapter (VIA) which VIA hasn't released binary drivers for - so I am using "openChrome"-drivers which does not enable multiple monitor support. They have however released a binary driver for 8.10, so what I am interested in is using that driver. [00:13] Guest38194: do you have dsl? how fast is your connection? [00:14] mdm, ty [00:14] lack of 1 mb [00:14] i use adsl [00:14] KlingaN, just download that CD and run it. What you are running in is lack of support by chip makers. Its not a fault of linux [00:14] paav1, apt-get install libstdc++6 [00:14] crashanddie_: I think I know the versions, I just mis-spelled. 8.04 LTS, 8.10 and 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope). I've been studying Linux/Ubuntu intensively the last 20 hours. [00:14] KlingaN: of course you could use multiple X servers to handle the multiple screens and you won't be able to transfer items from the left screen to the right one. [00:15] KlingaN, congrats, I've been writing it for the past 10 years [00:15] well, "it" being a big word. [00:15] Guest38194: To download faster, choose a mirror in Indonesia [00:15] <`Dave`> can someome help me install a program which doesn't come with the package manager please =[ [00:15] Yes... but you seem to not completely understand my problem. [00:16] ciao :) [00:16] `Dave`: what program would that be? [00:16] <`Dave`> QTParted [00:16] KlingaN, you asked if you could install a "lower" version of Ubuntu, I told you to do a full reinstall, if you have another issue, please state it clearly [00:16] toter: how could u know that im from indonesia.. [00:16] crashanddie it didnt download or update anything, it says: libstdc++6 is allready newest version [00:16] hi at all :D [00:16] toter: http://tinyurl.com/l3rk7o [00:16] crashanddie_: since I _dont_ want to do another complete install, and I was questioning whether it was possible to keep the existing partition without specifying new partitions. [00:16] i am glad here, nice people, i am from indonesia [00:16] can you read me ? O.o [00:16] hello jarhead [00:16] oh xD [00:17] Guest38194: I know everything about you. I just hacked your computer and got your online banking password. [00:17] <`Dave`> unkmar: QtParted [00:17] KlingaN, that would be counter productive [00:17] toter :( [00:17] unkmar: How do I use multiple x-servers? [00:17] Guest38194: Just kidding... [00:17] can linux learn me to hack... [00:17] I can't seem to get resolv.conf to update in the manner I want. eth0 and ppp0 both pull dhcp addresses, I want to dismiss the nameserver/domain entries sent on eth0 (I think I fixed that by making an interface block with a mostly empty request line) but then even if I add prepend domain-name-servers 192.168.0.1, I only get the two nameservers provided by my ISP to ppp0 and my nameserver never makes it into resolv.conf. [00:18] `Dave`: I was proding hoping that someone else would be willing to help you install it. My thought is. What is wrong with using gparted? [00:18] KlingaN, even if you kept the same partitions, you would be getting conflicts because of remaining files, or you would have to remove everything, so reinstalling completely -- including partitions -- would be a lot faster [00:18] hehe [00:18] I'm using ubuntu server 9.4 [00:18] Guest38194, depends of your definition of "hack" [00:18] 9.04 [00:18] mdm: Is it possible to use the 2.4 version of the kernel on my 9.04-version of Ubuntu, and use the binary drivers from VIA which as specified for 8.10 ? [00:18] toter: I'm still crying from that photo. ;< [00:18] <`Dave`> unkmar: never knew it existed, does it have a GUI? [00:18] KlingaN, not in any way that I can think that is beneficial [00:18] crashanddie_: i just wanna learn all about system and program [00:18] KlingaN: unfortunately, i know that it is possible and have only done it once. So, I couldn't help with the process. :/ [00:18] i wanna be smart as u guys [00:19] Guest38194, It can help you learn, but it can't teach you. You need tutorials online. [00:19] support me to learn linux yah [00:19] <`Dave`> unkmar: ill try this, thanks [00:19] `Dave`: yes, it is GUI. sudo apt-get install gparted. [00:19] Guest38194, then maybe, at least you got the right definition ;) Get yourself a good manual or book for a specific language, and start doing small/medium projects [00:19] `Dave`: it may already be installed and in the menu under System. [00:19] <`Dave`> ok [00:19] toter: As you can see, it's waiting for me to type in. Does innsserv automatically rearrange? [00:19] Guest38194, I learned by just grabbing an old computer and installing linux on it... [00:19] `Dave`: System, Adminstration. [00:19] hi, how can I get the % of net in download? [00:19] the error for me is coming when i try to connect to vnc [00:19] <`Dave`> mmkay [00:19] i already start small project crashanddie_ [00:19] 12 years ago... redhat 4,2 [00:20] kinja-sheep: You have an Athlon Dual Core processor and you're booting in 42 seconds? Some guy here sent me his bootchart file and he was loading ubuntu in 24 seconds running on netbook! [00:20] I'm trying to capture video from a video capture card SAA7130 Video, does anyone know a program to do this? [00:20] Guest38194: Read everything on http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/index_main.html [00:20] Guest38194, once you feel confident enough (in about a year or so), you'll be able to participate in bigger projects. Take on small tasks, very small. Things you'll be able to complete in a few hours / days. If you take a task that spans over several weeks/months, you'll stop doing it because life/school/work will have priority [00:20] can somebody teach me how to anonimous browsing without proxy in ubuntu? [00:20] ok installing software in linux is a pain in the butt [00:20] jarhead, tor [00:20] toter: Use mobi-sheep. I didn't get highlight when you don't use my nickname. ;) [00:20] jarhead: tor [00:20] there are too many ways.. i do not get this tar.gz stuff [00:20] jarhead, but you're still going to require a proxy [00:21] toter: The password! Encrypted! :3 [00:21] i see crashanddie_, thx so much for ur advice brother [00:21] toter: I can USB boot in about 30 seconds on a laptop. Ubuntu 9.04 [00:21] fretegi, forget the sources, just go with precompiled packages (.deb) [00:21] Guest38194, not a brother [00:21] does google labs from gmail work with ubuntu? [00:21] tor = sudo apt-get install tor? [00:21] then... [00:21] mobi-sheep: Why encrypted? [00:21] but where do u get them?? im trying to fix pidgin,.... [00:21] anyone know offhand if there's a command line utility i could use to join two dvd-formatted mpeg-2 files together into one? [00:21] rafaelscj: what do you mean? [00:21] jarhead, www.google.com/search?q=tor [00:21] evolution: trouble moving messages from folder to folder and trouble emptying trash [00:22] blind|melon|chit, mencoder [00:22] crashanddie_;mdm; Alright. Perhaps you could aid me the partitioning process? My thoughts are: EXT4 (EXT4 vs EXT3 - benefits?) 15 GB Ubuntu (Primary), NTFS 15 GB Windows 7 (Primary), FAT32 50 GB MEDIA (shared between Windows and Ubuntu) (Primary), FAT32 20 GB RESCUE_RESTORE (images of Windows and Ubuntu) Primary (Logical), 2GB SWAP Ubuntu (Logical) -- Now - Should I alter this somehow? [00:22] luckyone, like off-line mail. [00:22] rafaelscj: setup pop3 [00:22] crashanddie_: Thanks, I'll see if I can find an example of it being done somewhere [00:22] mobi-sheep: run insserv like this: sudo insserv -d -v [00:22] 11%done :) [00:23] toter: My password is... 19 characters and I still think it's not long enough. I like knowing that you can't read my partition if you physically steal the laptop. (kinja is computer). I'll reboot and type password fast because I wasn't paying attention on that chart). === defcon is now known as Guest97745 [00:23] KlingaN, yes, bigger windows 7 partition, go with ntfs partitions shared between linux and windows (linux supports full write support on ntfs, using ntfs-3g), no need for a "rescue/restore" partition [00:23] i don't know how to configure tor [00:23] if i've got the live cd, guide me how to introduce the program itself yah [00:23] KlingaN, never used ext4, too bleeding edge: a filesystem should be 3 years old before you start using it [00:24] jarhead, there's plenty of manuals on the net. You asked how, we answered. There's no magic way to be anonymous [00:24] KlingaN: I usually have a separete /home partition for keeping my files if my linux boot fails or I decide to switch versions of linux. [00:24] luckyone, have you used google labs yet? [00:24] I have a HP Mini 110 MI with UNR. Everything works except I have no sound from the speakers. Can anyone assist me? === sharperguy2 is now known as sharperguy [00:25] mobi-sheep, passwords are bad. If you really want to go for security, get a seagate harddrive that supports hardware encryption and use 2FA or SA, preferably on an external token [00:25] mobi-sheep: what encryption are you using? === bugsy101 is now known as SR71-Blackbird [00:25] rafaelscj: I use a lot of google products, what specifically are you speaking of from labs? [00:25] crashanddie_: Differences between EXT4 and EXT3, any benefits with EXT4? Q2: I can't seem to format my partitions with NTFS in GParted, only FAT32 (if I don't have a previous version of Windows installed). Q3: Why not? I want a RESCUE-partition incase of a Windows-virus. [00:25] KlingaN, there are many updates to ext4 however it is fairly new. ext3 is considerd the standard [00:25] !info cryptsetup | toter [00:25] toter: cryptsetup (source: cryptsetup): configures encrypted block devices. In component main, is optional. Version 2:1.0.6-7ubuntu7 (jaunty), package size 104 kB, installed size 456 kB [00:26] <`Dave`> unkmar: When i installed linux i did it 'inside windows' and i made the partition 20 gbs big, gparted isn't showing this partition or am i doing something wrong? [00:26] unkmar: Alright, but how do you keep your home folder if you have to re-partition everything when you reinstall Linux? [00:26] crashanddie_: mobi-sheep: passwords are good for keeping people out via remove. If they have direct access, then you must use drive encryption. However, that also increases the chances that even you can't get back into the data. [00:26] i only read the room, and i dont know what u r talking about, i had better waiting for my live cd done, :) my english not good [00:26] unkmar, not if done correctly. [00:26] unkmar: Drive encryption? As in... cryptsetup? [00:27] luckyone, offi-line mail, it creates a shortcut in windows's desktop [00:27] mobi-sheep, hard drive encryption, FDE [00:27] Every time I upgrade the kernel I have to reinstall my sound card drivers, is this normal? (creative x-fi) [00:27] <`Dave`> crashanddie_: When i installed linux i did it 'inside windows' and i made the partition 20 gbs big, gparted isn't showing this partition or am i doing something wrong? [00:27] unkmar, if you're using SA you probably have a CA that has generated your PKI credential for you. Considering it's an encryption cert, you would have key escrow activated and thus are able to recover your private key no problem [00:27] ðóññêèå åñòü ? [00:28] i wanna change my id [00:28] !ru | Shmiga [00:28] Shmiga: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [00:28] `Dave`: installed linux from inside windows? That must be a wubi install. I'm not sure of the structure of that. I don't think the system actually gets partitioned that way. [00:28] guest: type /nick (newnick) === Guest38194 is now known as ridwan [00:28] Dave: stupid nickname, use something that we can type on normal keyboards [00:28] when I do "echo 1 > /sys/power/pm_trace", shouldn't it stay at 1 after I reboot? [00:28] <`Dave`> oh unkmar so you dont know how i can make it bigger? [00:28] sproaty, any driver that does not come with the standard kernel has to be recompiled every time you change that kernel. Audio drivers not withstanding [00:28] Dave: there is no actual partition - wubi uses a flatfile on your Windows partition [00:28] test [00:28] <`Dave`> ok crashanddie_ [00:28] Dave: I don't think I tried to help you first, so please don't just start talking to people randomly [00:28] 0 users. ahanserv only ) [00:28] ok thank you isase [00:28] Dave: kinda like VirtualBox or Isase [00:28] mobi-sheep: how about running a non-encrypted system and all the stuff you want to hide on a truecrypt volume? that way you don't lose performance [00:28] er [00:28] cheers mdm [00:28] VMWare [00:28] lol [00:29] isase: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:29] <`Dave`> sorry crashanddie_ [00:29] KlingaN, in case you have a windows virus, all of your partitions will be infected, you already have a separate partition to store your stuff on, no need for a 3rd one. Again, I never used ext4 so can't help you with the pros/cons [00:29] <`Dave`> isase: so i cant make it bigger? === `Dave` is now known as Dave__ [00:29] Dave: i don't believe so, unless wubi has some post-install virtual partition manager utility [00:29] toter: http://tinyurl.com/nmohxg [00:29] hmm [00:29] i've only ever used wubi once, and it was on 8.04, so i don't know if it does [00:29] isase, even so, you can't extend an ext3 partition [00:30] crash: correct, forgot about that [00:30] toter: About 5 second typing. [00:30] so i'd have to install it again from scratch? [00:30] Dave: if you wanted to make the virtual partition (is that even the right term?) larger, yes, ostensibly [00:30] KlingaN, about the ntfs part, there's ntfs tools that allow you to create partitions after you've installed. Just leave some free space and you'll be fine [00:30] although, what do you need it biger for/ [00:30] *bigger for? [00:30] mobi-sheep: getting better.. what a difference! [00:31] Dave__, just create a new disk and mount it to wherever you need the space [00:31] is live cd that i am downloading right now can use my study....cause i am learning mysql too [00:31] this is getting old. every time i reboot my computer my speakers and mic are muted. every time it comes back up I unmute them. [00:31] toter: If I don't use encrypted partition, then it's probably lot of differences in bootup script. Performances are a little different in encryption and I'm USING ext4 too! [00:31] alsa = fail. [00:31] crashanddie_: im not sure what you mean =/ [00:31] prefrontal: why do you say that? [00:31] Hello. I am trying to sign onto work via a citrix website. I am using Ubuntu 9.04 on an older Dell inspiron. I have 2 linux ICA client choices to choose from; x86 or AMD. First, I don't know which one to use and Second...when I do click on one, how do I install it? Thanks in advance. [00:32] mobi-sheep: let's see again the one to beat... I never get tired of pasting this: http://img504.yfrog.com/img504/4968/toterdesktopjaunty20090.png [00:32] toter: Bad link? [00:32] Dave__, you can create new disks, and mount them to the filesystem. Linux filesystem structure is different than that from windows. For example, if you have /foo/bar, you can mount a harddrive to /foo/bar, and the contents of the harddrive/partition would be in /foo/bar [00:32] toter: Nevermind. [00:32] oh i see [00:32] howdy [00:33] do you have a tutorial i can use? or what i search on google [00:33] Dave__, http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/01/29/move-home-to-its-own-partition/ [00:33] this channel really help me to start learning, i only read the room:) glad [00:33] thanks [00:33] toter: Apparently my processor --> dual core processor 4050e --> [00:34] wait..i make a cup of coffee :) [00:34] toter: Err. That is 2.1Ghz. You got 2.60. I'll show you what I test it on. [00:34] ridwan: I understand. I have been known to be a fly on the wall for the same reason. [00:34] mobi-sheep: you're right... ext4... i'll have to reinstall ubuntu and do some tests with ext4 to see if it improves my boot time [00:34] mobi-sheep, do you want to give a benchmark of FDE impact?

[00:35] toter: That's the machine. [00:35] toter: Power-saving! Think Green! And all that stuff. [00:35] When you use apt-get where does it store the files? which folder(s)? [00:35] can I assume that my exim server always returns my message id list in the order received? [00:36] toter: ...powerful enough to serve as a light-duty home theater PC. The very same reason I bought this machine for. [00:36] argh...the bug is fixed in a new version of tovid that is apparently released as a fix, but it's not in proposed or backports :> [00:36] Dave__, /var/cache/apt/archives [00:36] ty [00:36] mobi-sheep: your processor is faster than mine [00:36] Dave__: /var/cache/apt/archives [00:36] crashanddie_: unkmar: mdm: everyone: What do you think of the following: [00:36] 1.) Primary Partition: EXT3 - 15 GB - Ubuntu 8.10 - Mount: / [00:36] 2.) Primary Partition: FAT32 - 20 GB - Windows 7 - Mount: /windows - (I can't use NTFS in Gparted?) [00:36] 3.)

If i only move /home to a partition? [00:37] Ofcourse, I got warned by the bot - had no clue. [00:37] Sorry [00:37] Which is a better app dock, gnome-do or awm? [00:37] gnome-do [00:37] mattgyver, how long is a piece of string? === CyberAspie is now known as WK|Away [00:38] well, not a "dock", but a launcher [00:38] mobi-sheep, software-based FDE will give you around a 30% performance hit on most modern machines, most software will allow you to hit 40gig/hour on the initial encryption. That's why I recommend hardware based encryption, the harddrive takes care of that. [00:38] toter: Close to this --> http://reviews.cnet.com/desktops/acer-aspire-x1200-b1781a/4505-3118_7-33614920.html?tag=mncol;lst [00:38] toter: The actual model is AX1200-B1601A so it may be a little less. [00:38] do you know where to get good hardware disk encryption that doesn't store the key in the clear? I've been looking for this [00:39] hax, eh? [00:39] but the boards I saw before either use a usb dongle, or store the key on the board it self [00:39] hax, I'm talking about harddrives that take care of the encryption themselves [00:39] I want a hardware disk encryption system that requires a password or code to be entered every boot, seen one? [00:39] crashanddie_: You're talking about buying a hardware with capacity of encryption? [00:39] yes, so am I, I've looked at disk controllers that tried to do that === bosco is now known as {bosco} [00:40] but i havn't been able to find a hardware solution that is as secure as the software solutions [00:40] crashanddie_: so what happens when i run out of space on my virtual partition? If i only move /home to a partition? [00:40] crashanddie_: Is Segate is the only one capable of this? [00:40] mobi-sheep, pretty much, yeah [00:40] * unkmar is now known as !@$good_luck_typing_my_nick.#$! [00:41] mobi-sheep, this is an example: http://www.seagate.com/www/en-us/products/laptops/momentus/momentus_5400_fde/ [00:41] crashanddie_: What did you think of my setup? I am thinking of doing it right now [00:41] toter: Laptop is also encrypted. And remember, the charts I sent... isn't kernel-30 too. [00:41] KlingaN, I didn't look at it [00:41] please take hardware chat to #ubuntu-offtopic thanks [00:41] <{bosco}> what is the next verson of ubuntu called anyone know yet passed 9.04 [00:42] Can someone tell me how I can install a launch.ica Citrix client on my laptop?

I am sorry for the pasting part - had no clue. First time ever on IRC, first time ever using Ubuntu or Linux. No clue about behaviour - but as I said - sorry. [00:42] deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main -> this is the repository [00:43] {bosco}: It's alpha software. It's inheritly day-to-day stable.

[00:43] hi, How can I revert to default the settings of the webcam I played with with luvcview? It won't get auto exposure back! [00:43] ciao [00:43] what's the command to enable dvd playback in ubuntu? [00:44] crashanddie_, just FYI, all the drivers and such were not needed for my webcam problem, the problem was a USB 2.0 setting disabled in the BIOS menu. [00:44] patriconway, do you lack codecs? [00:44] ciao [00:44] 23%done :) [00:44] in what file ubuntu stores users screen resolution configuration ? [00:44] crashanddie_: I understand that, I was just asking you since we had an earlier conversation and you seem experienced. [00:44] is there a simple command to delete files that i used to have on example1 but i moved them to example2, but when saving files to example1 it still shows old files like: ~text.txt [00:44] !italian [00:44] Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) [00:44] crashanddie_: Thanks for the link. It's interesting thing to know. We would have to set this up before installing Ubuntu? [00:44] does pppoe call dhclient in ubuntu? [00:45] I'm not sure, I installed the ubuntu restricted extras [00:45] Dave__, if you run out of space on your root partition (/), your system will most likely fail at some point, or applications will start to crash. If you move your home directory to a different partition, you free up the space your home directory takes and make it available to the root again [00:45] but dvd playback doesn't work [00:45] Anyone have directions how to set up a user partition when making a bootable flash drive with unetbootin? [00:45] dvd, tryed with VLC? [00:45] or totem? [00:45] (totem : "Movie Player") [00:45] !dvd | patriconway [00:45] totem [00:45] patriconway: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [00:46] Dave__, usually you would look at what directories take the most space (usually /home, or /usr on "desktop" computers) and give those their own partition [00:46] does anyone know how to enable a microphone in virtualbox? [00:46] !vlc | patriconway [00:46] patriconway: Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS2 (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based). Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine - See also !codecs [00:46] KlingaN, don't use fat32 for /home [00:46] ok crashanddie_ but wouldn't the packages i keep downloading take most space? [00:47] anyone have any ideas on what the deal with kopete and yahoo is? [00:47] KlingaN, create yourself a 10gig partition for /home, and then mount your shared drive under, for example, /home/username/media [00:47] Anyone have directions how to set up a user partition when making a bootable flash drive with unetbootin? [00:47] I changed my webcam settings on luvcview and can't get thinks working as before i run that program [00:47] hello [00:47] !yahoo | fretegi [00:47] fretegi: At the moment there are many pidgin users experiencing problems connecting to Yahoo IM, you can try changing your paging server to cs101.msg.mud.yahoo.com and see if that helps. [00:47] KlingaN, that way you can have most of your media handy in your home directory (if that's what you want), but still have all the advantages of using a real filesystem [00:47] patriconway: try vlc... sudo apt-get install vlc [00:47] indeed, even in the rest of the programs the image still gest underexposed (DARK) [00:47] (for the rest of your /home directory) [00:47] Dave__, purging /var/cache/apt/archives/* every so often helps [00:48] @toter trying that now [00:48] oh so i dont need those anymore? [00:48] Dave__, once the application is installed, they go under /usr (most of the time), so /usr will start getting big quite quickly [00:48] sorry im totally new to linux [00:48] Dave__, nope, those are just the installation packages [00:48] Anyone have directions how to set up a user partition when making a bootable flash drive with unetbootin? [00:48] that gives me an instant disconnect error [00:48] ok crashanddie_ [00:48] Dave___ same with me, hehe:) [00:49] * crashanddie_ lights the last cigarette of the day [00:49] so maybe i should put /usr in a new partition or something [00:49] or maybe remove ubuntu and start over properly [00:49] crashanddie_, do you know luvcview? Just to reset its settings? [00:49] is this a Bad Place to ask questions about the evolution mail client? [00:49] I'm trying to update wine and im getting an error "W: Failed to fetch http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/pool/main/w/wine/wine_1.1.23~winehq0~ubuntu~8.04-0ubuntu1_i386.deb 404 not found" Any ideas how to fix? [00:49] ill decide tomorrow, thanks for the help crashanddie_ and unkmar! [00:49] trece8, no idea, I don't even have a webcam [00:49] ok, thanks [00:49] Dave__, you're very welcome === cma_ is now known as kylar2 [00:49] Dave__, if you have little harddrive I'd recommend seeking tinier distros [00:50] i have 250gb x2 hard drives [00:50] mdg: partition the flash drive before using unetbootin. Then create a small script that you execute after startup to mount the partition. but that is just a suggestion. [00:50] how can I manually adjust screen resolution ? [00:50] There's even an almost-absurd one that takes up 50Mb [00:50] x-kent: xrandr [00:50] Dave__, ... so I don't understand why you are worrying :S [00:50] thanks toter [00:50] x-kent: xrandr = x resize and rotate. [00:50] unkmar: It will be a CLI distro based on 8.04. Thanks for the tips [00:50] trece8: i installed ubuntu through windows and made my 'virtual partition' too small [00:51] mobi-sheep, I'm a Security Consultant, I only work with commercial FDEs and have only done deployments under Windows (customer is king) so I don't know how you would setup a key management tool on *nix [00:51] ok, Dave__ , that's unknown territory to me [00:51] patriconway: did it work? vlc is playing dvd's? [00:51] does anyone know how to remove truecrypt from ubuntu 9.04, I can't find it when I do a search in Synaptic Package Manager and the user guide doesn't tell me how to, it only provides instructions for windows xp and vista (UGH).. The programs is listed under Other in the Applications menu [00:51] same for everyone i think, anyway goodnight all [00:51] unkmar, thanks [00:51] crashanddie_: About the FAT32 for /home - I was thinking about using the same partition for /home in Ubuntu and /Documents and Settings in Windows - that binds me to FAT32, or? I like the mounting of my 50 GB partition - should I then not specify a mounting point for media while partitioning? [00:51] can anyone help me with this script? http://paste.ubuntu.com/202470/ i basically need it to uncomment the lines based on the user's input at the top [00:51] Dave__, yeah, but it's a good thing to start playing with linux without having to reboot constantly [00:52] anyone know there way around virtual box? [00:52] i started playing on a windows vm ;) [00:52] btw I have no volumes or files encrypted yet [00:52] with ubuntu [00:52] houms: Its probably more on-topic to ask this in #bash [00:52] mobi-sheep, I suggest you checkout truecrypt (open source) and see how they support FDE vendors [00:52] crashanddie_: Hmm. How did you naturally set it up in Windows? Before the installation? [00:52] Dave__, if i were you i'd try to install windows in vmware inside ubuntu inside windows [00:52] mdg: the startup script can have a number of things that you want to be part of the default settings and the default iso didn't handle previosly. I had used extra partition space to store several packages such as openssh-server and joe. Then install them without requiring netaccess. [00:52] thanks [00:52] and see what happens :P [00:53] There is any way to speed up my Ubuntu 8.10 ? Boot time and Performance [00:53] KlingaN: very bad idea. FAT32 does not support many features that should be apart of most any linux system. esspecially a /home folder. [00:53] crashanddie_: I'll look into FDE on Wikipedia. Nice nickname. Hacker movie. ;3 [00:54] mobi-sheep, not hacker movie [00:54] hi? [00:54] hehe [00:54] hi karwan :) [00:54] so no one knows how to remove it [00:54] hi? -> no [00:54] are there any Kurdish?

[01:08] How do I stop privoxy which is listening on 127.0.0.1:9050 as a SOCKS5 proxy? [01:08] lufis, I'm not sure what ports it uses but it's worked for me from work to home with no firewall config changes [01:08] dtownhero: Yep. well, kind of. I told her to configure everything in Remote Desktop prefs, and she did. I've been using vncviewer but it always fails to connect [01:08] Hi guys! what terminal do you guys recommend? I use the normal Terminal and Terminator [01:08] Hah, will do. - I rebooted 4 times. [01:08] Nexx is my iPod [01:08] don't use the viewer [01:09] dekkong, sshd [01:09] err don't use VNC viewer [01:09] Conexion: While you were gone, toter and I compared our boot charts. I get slow boot because of encrypted partition. You were gone for some time. ;) [01:09] Is it possible to make a USB Thumbdrive bootable (containing 8.10 setups) in 9.04 ? [01:09] lufis, applications, internet, remote desktop viewer [01:09] dekkong: I use xterm. but I don't think any terminal is really all that much better than any other. I just prefer the black background and the others default to white. Bleh. [01:09] dekkong, use yakuake [01:09] hey can I ask a question? [01:09] dtownhero: I tried that too, but always fails. Do I connect to her ip address or her broadcast address? [01:09] sylvanus_: Yep. [01:09] mattgyver: okey [01:09] mattgyver: I will try that one out [01:09] Conexion: Do you know if you install nvidia-180 and you don't get screen, but you do know it's working? [01:09] yes sylvanus [01:10] KlingaN: It should be, yes. As far as I know, the USB boot thing will take an arbitrary image and turn it into a bootable USB [01:10] KlingaN: I was able to do it before the USB stuff become quite so popular. so, yes. [01:10] lufis, are the ports open and forwarded? [01:10] Hah I was. So how do I make sure that everything won't be destroyed if I install the nvidia drivers? [01:10] lufis, IP [01:10] mattgyver: Honestly, I have no idea. She's behind a router and a dsl modem. [01:10] lufis, is she behind a router by chance? [01:10] Yes [01:10] Conexion: Because you probably should install "sudo aptitude openssh-server" and install a terminal client on your iPod so you can ssh in (if something went wrong). [01:10] lufis, thats probably the issue, she needs to open the ports. [01:10] sigh [01:11] :p [01:11] mobi-sheep: When I install the drivers, i restart my computer and it works fine [01:11] oh, nvm didn't see you talking to matt [01:11] mattgyver: any idea how to go about explaining that to her? [01:11] Conexion: But then what? [01:11] I'm trying to install google earth and it is trying to install fonts through the terminal can I paste what it is saying ? [01:11] lufis, depending on the router it can be very easy to super retarded [01:11] lufis, portforward.com, look up her router and follow the instructions for vnc :) [01:11] mobi-sheep: Then when I edit the settings so that I can use both monitors, I restart and it won't load the gui [01:11] mattgyver: thanks man :) [01:11] go ahead sylvanus_ [01:11] lufis, but if she doesnt have any real knowhow, thats not really gonna help [01:11] lufis: do a reverse connect.

[01:12] Installing desktop menu entries... [01:12] Conexion: While you still have GUI and pretty X and stuff, go ahead and open terminal. "sudo aptitude install openssh-server" -- That way, if something went wrong, you could still ssh in. And also, do the automatic login under System --> Administration --> Login Window. [01:12] sylvanus_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:12] mattgyver: yeah it was okey :)... but I still prefer Terminator :) thx anyway [01:12] np [01:13] sorry I'm just trying to find out if it is stuck or if I need to enter another command [01:13] Everybody: Where is the best place to download 8.10 with fewest limitations? releases.ubuntu.com or cdimages.ubuntu.com ? [01:13] mobi-sheep: Well I can still get on the terminal when the gui doesn't work, and I have auto login [01:13] Conexion: Under [Security] tab, just type in your username and you're good to go. Save. [01:13] Conexion: Enable the "Enable Automatic Login" and type in your username. [01:13] Conexion: Do you know how to use TTY? [01:13] lufis: you can setup vncviewer in listen mode where you know that your ports are forwarded. then she simply uses the server to add a client and connect to you. [01:14] one second sylvanus_ [01:14] hmm does anyway if ctrl+alt+backspace is disabled in Ubuntu 8.10? [01:14] lufis: in linux, you can simply give her a single command to execute to make the connection. [01:14] !dontzap | dekkong [01:14] dekkong: To re-enable the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace combination that restarts your X server, you can install the "dontzap" package and use the command « sudo dontzap --disable ». The combination Alt+SysRq+K can also be used to obtain a similar effect. [01:14] ok [01:14] hi, a friend of mine is having trouble with sound, alsamixer isn't working and they can't choose it from the volume control to anything other than pulse [01:14] mobi-sheep: It is already enabled - TTY? [01:15] Conexion: Yes. First, I want to make sure you're able to connect to IRC + and your machine (by IRC and iPod). [01:15] unkmar: i'm afraid that's about outside my knowhow [01:15] lufis: you port needs to be.... 5700? I think. [01:16] Conexion: Terminal --> "sudo aptitude install irssi" --> This is terminal-based IRC chat so you can talk with us on your machine if you get no X. [01:16] mobi-sheep: Alright, I'll do that, but I'm not sure why I need to connect my iPod to the computer when I can access the terminal [01:16] kk [01:16] lufis: it is really quite simple. [01:16] Conexion: To talk with us... and ssh. [01:16] sylvanus_ u there? [01:16] if i add in my source list repository from jaunty, is it just ok? [01:16] yes [01:16] btw, i'm using intrepid [01:16] lufis: man vncviewer - and look for listen mode. [01:16] ok [01:16] unkmar: thanks [01:16] mobi-sheep: I can already talk using IRC on my iPod :P and ssh just allows me to manipulate my computer right? [01:16] the problem is its trying to bind 64-bit files to 32-bit files [01:17] the dynamic linker is [01:17] anyone? :D [01:17] Conexion: there is a command that it's going to solve all your problems [01:17] Conexion: Yes. Accessing the terminal from your iPod or such. But you need to learn how to use irssi (not too hard) and tty (not too hard) either. [01:17] what do I do I'm scared I've screwed everythingup [01:17] Conexion: sudo apt-get install bootchart [01:17] :) [01:17] the easiest work around is to hide libcrypto [01:17] lufis: that covers half of it. Your half. the other half is the vncserver. probably xvncserver. you can man it as well and look for connecting clients. You don't have to do much more than say. xvncserver -connect ipaddress [01:18] Conexion: After installing irssi... Go ahead and try to connect here. Open a new terminal and type in "irssi" [01:18] lufis: probably --connect [01:18] pgc, go to the #alsa room to get help with your sound [01:18] use this command and start from the beginning again then it should work cd /where/your/earth/is (Typically /opt/google-earth) [01:18] mv libcrypto.so.0.9.8 libcrypto.neutralized [01:18] unkmar: Okay. overwhelmed but okay. lol [01:18] hello everyone, i cant get my mic to work, already did the alsamixer modifications but it doesnt seems to work, anyone can help? [01:18] Heh already did that toter - mobi-sheep - I just run irssi in the terminal right? and I don't need to ssh if I can access the terminal, do I? [01:18] understand that sylvanus_? [01:18] can i install ubuntu from a dvd [01:18] Conexion: Right. You can skip the Terminal client on your iPod. [01:18] Does anybody here have any experiance mounting an Amazon S3 drive in Ubuntu? [01:18] can i put the ubuntu iso on dvd [01:19] I'm afraid no what does it all mean I'm petrified [01:19] andrewjackson if u have a cd reader on your computer yes [01:19] mezquitale: thanks! :) [01:19] andrewjackson yes [01:19] you can [01:19] open terminal [01:19] but u have to be able to boot from cd/dvd [01:19] Conexion here, lol [01:19] paste that command [01:19] lufis: I could have her connect to one of my machines. if I knew what I was suppose to be helping with. :P [01:19] Nexx2: On irssi? :) [01:19] i have an external dvd drive but the only medium i have is blank dvd [01:19] Yup! [01:19] nexx: did you get everything running ? [01:19] go for it [01:19] youll have too use sudo do you know what that is? [01:19] Nexx2: Good. That way. You can talk on the computer. Also, now for TTY. [01:19] if i use wubi do i have to even burn the iso [01:20] Stanley__: isn't there a firefox plugin for that? [01:20] unkmar: Haha, she's got a boatload of issues with jaunty. I was going to install the 2.6.30 kernel and try to fix her graphics for her. [01:20] yes but very new [01:20] Conexion: Read this, but don't type anything yet. [01:20] no dont know what sudo is [01:20] burn iso image on the dvd and boot from dvd everything else it easy [01:20] andrewjackson: nope [01:20] !tty | Conexion [01:20] Conexion: To get to the TTY terminals 1-6, use the keystroke ctrl + alt + F1-F6 respectively (Alt+F7 will get you back to your graphical login). To change the resolution for your TTY, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution. [01:20] Almost, I am strill trying to figure out how to use the Nvidia drivers without it ruining me [01:20] hello everyone, i cant get my mic to work, already did the alsamixer modifications but it doesnt seems to work, anyone can help? [01:20] anyone know if the new/current/fast nvidia driver supports the GeForce 7025? [01:20] terminal is open I'm afraid to close it! [01:20] andrewjackson: if you use wubi you don't need to burn it to cd, just put the iso in the same folder as wubi [01:20] Conexion: reboot the machine and check the png file at /var/log/bootchart. let's see how fast linux is booting on that slow machine of yours. 12 GB of ram, pffff [01:20] Nexx2: what's the problem? [01:20] Conexion: IMPORTANT --> CTRL + ALT + F7 will get you back. [01:20] use sudo and the commands i just gave you and then finish your install and all we be well my friend if u need a guide i have posted one [01:20] Conexion: Okay? Got it? [01:21] are there any limitations to using wubi [01:21] Can someone give me a hand. I am getting very low sound levels from jaunty. Fresh install. its like they are at 60% but they are cranked. Using a HDA-intel integrated sound. Checked PCM, its also cranked [01:21] K, I'm going to install the Nvidia driver, play with the settings, and restart now :) [01:21] sylvanus_ http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/earth/thread?tid=79c9faee5c0451f8&hl=en [01:21] over dvd/cd [01:21] what commands can you repeat them one more time? [01:21] Conexion: Try CTRL + ALT + 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. You'll see 6 different terminals. CTRL + ALT + 7 will bring you back to X screen. [01:21] CanadianLinux: It might be viewing the hardware as multiple devices. Have you checked? [01:21] ianm_: Ask mobi-sheep about it :P [01:21] will wubi have an option for dual boot [01:21] hello everyone, i cant get my mic to work, already did the alsamixer modifications but it doesnt seems to work, anyone can help? [01:21] Nexx2: See the messages I said for you (Conexion). [01:22] Stanley__ http://developer.amazonwebservices.com/connect/thread.jspa?messageID=67819 [01:22] i can check lufis, just in the sound options?

[01:23] toter: He's bootcharting it right now. [01:23] toter: Me think. [01:24] damn seems complicated lol [01:24] not very [01:24] :) [01:24] if i add in my source list repository from jaunty, is it just ok?

I cannot get internet access. I can connect to a network but it does not retrieve. [01:42] arcturuswebdesig, sharing from linux to linux using samba? thats quite simple :) [01:43] Nexxi: Both monitor are connected at same time? [01:43] nstuart: did u install the driver from hardware Drivers? [01:43] pgc: already did that [01:43] dekkong: ya, probably...ATI's latest release notes said this should be fixed :( [01:43] mobi-sheep: They're connected into the same video card === webpigeon is now known as webpigeon_lappy [01:43] dekkong: from ATI's site, using http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Jaunty_Installation_Guide as a guide [01:43] pgc: when trying to record something the only sound i get from it its like "little drummings [01:44] nstuart: ok... btw are u running 32 bit or 64? [01:44] Anyone able to help? [01:44] dekkong: 64 [01:44] Nexxi: Shut down. Unplug a monitor. Work with one monitor at a time. Start up again. Remember irssi and tty. ;) [01:44] any idea? [01:44] webpigeon: Oh yeah? Any docs you can poinnt me to? [01:44] nstuart: ok [01:44] mobi-sheep: Alright, will unplug the second monitor and restart, be back soon :) [01:45] Hi folks.

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 ..." [01:46] nstuart: did you read the release notes? [01:46] h3killa: oh you already done that [01:46] I have [01:47] h3killa: no Internet hum, is this a clean install? and ethernet or wireless? [01:47] It is a install from a previous install of vista. I have tried both. [01:47] And the version is 9.04 [01:47] ive got 2 linux boxes networked, using ip forwarding on one to connect the other to the net via ip forwarding of my :( dialup account. In the last 10 minutes, the gateway machine has totally crashed twice- no response to ctrl-alt-bkspace or ctrl-alt-delete, or ctr-alt-f4 or mouse..... never happened before. Any ideas why it would do this? Both machines running ubuntu jaunty 9.04 [01:47] dekkong: ya, but nothing really helpful in there [01:47] h3killa: what's VIsta got to do with it? [01:47] arcturuswebdesig, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSamba [01:47] Idk [01:48] Just telling you that was install previously [01:48] mobi-sheep: Back, still not working lol [01:48] dekkong: only thing I really see for video playback is: Video playback no longer exhibits corruption when desktop effects are enabled and Composite is not explicitly disabled [01:48] Nexx: Wait. You need to try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg again. [01:48] so i can reliably ping nearly all of the IP's for yahoo messenger, still no connection with either pidgin or kopete, any other ideas? [01:48] kk [01:48] Hi... I was about to do a fresh install, but the cd i did burn had some corrupted packages and unfortunately i formated the ubuntu partition... i'm running from the livecd now and I'd like to know if there is any command such as 'fdisk /mbr' or another way to delete grub from the concole terminal? [01:49] I cannot ping any network either. [01:49] nstuart: sorry for asking these questions but are you Running 9.04? [01:49] It says permission denied. [01:49] dekkong: no worries, more information the better, and yes [01:49] h3killa: not my area, maybe someone like webpidgeon can help [01:49] mobi-sheep: Just did it, nothin [01:49] Ok === ubuntu is now known as getBoa [01:49] Webpigeon [01:50] h3killa, hmm? [01:50] Nexx: I'm in nvidia channel at the moment talking to somebody. He asked me few questions so far. Hang on and ask people for assisting with nvidia while you're at it. Or chill. === lufis is now known as Guest59218 [01:50] getBoa: what could would deleting grub do?

[01:51] unkmar: sorry about that, updated router config [01:51] arcturuswebdesig: sudo apt-get remove programname is just the program, sudo apt-get purge packagename is also the config files [01:51] unkmar: good question... lol but how could i fix it? [01:51] where is the mta log in ubuntu? [01:52] I can't seem to get resolv.conf to update in the manner I want. eth0 and ppp0 both pull dhcp addresses, I want to dismiss the nameserver/domain entries sent on eth0 (I think I fixed that by making an interface block with a mostly empty request line) but then even if I add prepend domain-name-servers 192.168.0.1, I only get the two nameservers provided by my ISP to ppp0 and my nameserver never makes it into resolv.conf. I'm thinking that pppoe [01:52] is not honoring the dhclients.conf file [01:52] please can someone help. i am runing ubuntu 9.04 and have an omni web cam that i am trying to install how can i get this to work? [01:52] anyone can help on getting mic to work??

(i would prefer ntfs, since i can defrag - even though ext3 and ext4 don't need defrag, what about in the long run? 1-2 years without formatting?)..

I have fixxed my GRUB boot problems I was having with my SiiG sil0680 (medley), but I'm still having a rough time tryign to find a way to mount my NTFS partition in ubuntu (that set of drives are in a RAID1?? (striping) set. [01:57] andrewjackson*, if you understand packages then 2.. just a matter of configuring afterwards [01:57] ebil - i don't understand what you mean.. [01:57] just setting up some vmware images to play with ... [01:57] is there a way to set up an "automount" to a partition during start up? [01:57] Is there a way to make the awn windows, for instance awn terminal, closer to the dock? My problem is this: I'm running compiz 8.2 with window selection via mouseover. When I click, for instance, awn terminal's icon, there's a gap between the terminal window and the dock, and when I try to move my mouse to the terminal, I hit the window behind it (Chatzilla, say) under the gap. Awn terminal... [01:57] ...then disappears, having registered a click elsewhere. ... repeated in #awn. [01:57] Hey guys, I was wondering how I make apt-get install even if there's a dependency that's wrong [01:58] libgdl-1-0: Depends: libgdl-1-common (= 2.26.0-0ubuntu1) but 2.27.3-0ubuntu1 is to be installed [01:58] I keep reading on some sites that the 0680 doesn't work in linux, but I read in others it is supported by the linux kernel through a module... [01:58] FFMike, if I asked you, how difficult is it for a newbie to rebuild a transmission, what would your answer be? [01:58] <[t0rc]> slopslaptop, there is not a hcid.conf [01:58] <[t0rc]> slopslaptop, that comes with bluez [01:58] nstuart: when you installed the driver, did it install a software for the card? [01:58] FFMike, nm, wrong person [01:58] made a bugreport of it.. but until then I would like to solve it [01:58] anyone have ubuntu running on an msi wind [01:58] nstuart: something like ati-x-settings [01:58] so.. about my ansi issue :) [01:58] FFMike, the characters being sent across are probably in a different codepage than the one you have installed [01:58] dude_, install the older version first.. but i don't see why you would want an older version over the newer one (if it's in repos then it should be stable) [01:59] dekkong: ya, there are a couple, aticonfg, amdccle, etc...ran aticonfig --initial -f to get X setup correctly, and it worked fine [01:59] t0rc wwhy is there one on other distros [01:59] FFMike, my guess is maybe it's UTF-8 and you're not supporting it? but I don't know what ubuntu's default is. [01:59] andrewjackson, yes, my dad does, he seems to like it [01:59] is there a way to support utf-8 (not sure wehat that is) [01:59] nellmathew, oh right, that's easy. [01:59] do you have a link for me [01:59] ok cool and all hardware was compatible [01:59] what.. [01:59] Can someone please remove the original h3killa I lost connection [01:59] i am trying to get bluez pan [01:59] to work [02:00] h3killa_: it will will timeout eventualley [02:00] dude_, were you being sarcastic? lol [02:00] i also have a usb wifi adaptor the alfa AWUSO36h is this compatible with ubuntu [02:00] No [02:00] FFMike, look on wikipedia about utf8 [02:00] No [02:00] And ok slop* [02:00] nellmathew, no. [02:00] after I get this RAID issue done, time to get my t-mobile wing (HTC Herald/Atlas) workin in Ubuntu... no ActiveSync... [02:00] andrewjackson, if you want me to see your messages, quote me. but yes, I think everything worked. maybe not the camera, but it was a U120 iirc [02:01] nellmathew, thought to myself that I had to download the libgdl-1-0 package and changing deb-info, recompiling and installing ;) [02:01] hm [02:01] i am trying to follow this http://www.howtoforge.com/bluetooth_pand_debian_etch [02:01] andrewjackson, try checking google for wireless support? That is one thing that you can usually find really fast on google :D [02:01] andrewjackson, google for AWUS036h and ubuntu, you'll find out soon enough if someone has made it work :) [02:01] ebil: ok i have the 420-100 [02:01] maybe i should upload the fix myself [02:01] I'm using conky for monitoring system stats and one if the scripts uses 'cpuspeed' what is the equivalent in ubuntu [02:01] hell yeah [02:01] I love launchpad [02:01] anyone know how to configure the way pppoe edits the resolv.conf file? this is driving me batty [02:02] so anyoen know anything about RAID in here? [02:02] ok just curious of anyone knew its a popular wardriving adaptor so i thought some of you might know [02:02] and getting it to work in 'buntu? [02:02] dude_, ah makes sense.. well if you can find the older version and you get it installed, apt-get won't ask for it anymore (or try to install the latest one) so yeah.. you get the point. good luck with that! [02:02] andrewjackson, is it atheros? [02:02] hey guys, i want a partition for media storage (music, video, photo collection).. what would be the best partition for such in the long run? (i would prefer ntfs, since i can defrag - even though ext3 and ext4 don't need defrag, what about in the long run? few years without formatting?).. [02:03] nellmathew, that seems too easy. :) [02:03] I'm going nuts. I did a screencast with recordmydesktop which produces a .ogv file and have used ffmpeg and mencoder to try to convert to an .avi format using several how to's on the net. All seem to do the conversion but when I try to play the file on a windows box .. "No suitable decompresser found".. and that's after converting to xvid and mpeg4 as well.. any help? [02:03] nellmathew, just use ext4 man [02:03] nellmathew, i'd stick with ext3 personaly... ntfs isn't as easy to recover in a few years when the HD craps out :P [02:03] nellmathew, and use largefiles4 [02:04] (spelling?) [02:04] guys can programs like nero utorrent etc work in ubuntu or are there freeware counterparts [02:04] andrewjackson, http://mewcetti.com/2009/02/13/getting-the-alfa-awus036h-working-on-ubuntu/ 4th link down... seriously, google is your friend [02:04] dude_, yeah that's what i was figuring too.. i'll look into largefiles4. [02:04] andrewjackson, utorrent will work under wine, but there is transmission in ubuntu [02:04] andrewjackson, :) [02:04] andrewjackson: You want deluge-torrent. That's the closest thing to uTorrent. [02:04] andrewjackson, there is also MANY cd-cookers in linux [02:05] andrewjackson: yes there are counterparts but I trust you know there is a difference between freeware and opensource [02:05] yes [02:05] nellmathew, I do newsfiles for the root.. next time I'm formatting new partitions for files I'll do largefiles4 [02:05] that is what i meant hipti hop [02:05] andrewjackson, are you in Ubuntu right now? [02:05] Aacron No In xp [02:06] ok [02:06] oh [02:06] via qterm [02:06] i am dling jaunty right now Aacron [02:06] i see all black, no color, no chars [02:06] i see the login scrolling menu, whcih is screwedup [02:06] ..

[02:08] was about to say just click apps and check the stuff there. I was actually pretty surprised that stuff works in here... lol. last I tried linux stuff in kde/gnome weren't all that easy to install and stuff [02:08] ubuntu is nice so far [02:08] phone afk [02:08] andrewjackson, no but it could be a good thing to protect windows comps [02:08] i am trying to follow this http://www.howtoforge.com/bluetooth_pand_debian_etch it calls for the hcid.conf file [02:09] dude yeah i have kapersky [02:09] kaspersky* [02:09] andrewjackson: if you are concerned about not being able to run some special windows appas, there is Wine and when all else fails, you can run a virtualized windows sessions seamlessly assuming you have enough ram. [02:10] hey , i can't install any vuze plugins - i think it has something to do with permissions [02:10] What is the recommended way to see the changelog of an updated package in apt via the commandline? ie: I have foo installed, and there is an availabl security update --- I'd like to see the changelog to see if I care.

Thanks [02:38] jeremy__: do you want to set up an ftp server on your computer, or connect to ftp on another computer? [02:38] licul: ddd = Data Display Debugger. [02:38] FFMike: afaik ansi is a latin character set and you probably didn't set that up in locales during install... maybe you can go back and dpkg-reconfigure locales to add that and possibly ISO-8559-1 as well [02:38] dva5912: That's what she said. [02:38] pgc, did you just search the ubuntu forums or did you actually utilize this information? [02:38] connect to one [02:39] UnNaturalHigh: I googled for it [02:39] ShortWave: is ddd a gui application? [02:39] licul: apt-get install ddd is a good start [02:39] licul: Yes [02:39] pgc, I know how to google bud, thx [02:39] i want to load a page on awardspace.com [02:39] you're welcome [02:39] when I click add to panel I chose windows list and instead on one fire fox I have 3 [02:39] jeremy__: Places > Connect to server...

[02:39] ShortWave: oh. there is no internet connection at home. i have to install it manually. =( [02:39] jeremy__: or type the ftp:// URL into firefox, if there's a specific file you want.

Ive set up a launcher to start firefox with a new profile so I can run two instances of firefox at once, one logged into my website and one not, for testing purposes. However, whenever i open my test profile via the launcher, it starts in offline mode and I have to manually uncheck file>work offline.Im running jaunty 9.04 [02:40] licul: No need for snarkiness, it was a fair question. [02:41] can someone help me, I have ubuntu-eee installed and I cant seem to get youtube working on it, when you go to play a video it just shows up as a black box, no slider of play button just a black box.. not sure what to do.. I have flash installed so its not that.. any ideas anyone? [02:41] vvpalin: Well you must be running gnome ... but it's OK, as long as you don't have to fix anything before installing, just anser 'Y" and let it install. [02:41] pedestrianentra1- you might want to check firefox's website [02:41] Kingsy101: Can you right click on the black box, and get the "Flash menu"? [02:41] Scooma: ok thanks. [02:42] ermmm 1 sec I will check [02:42] xyzzymaze, thanks but i cant do gnome [02:42] Kingsy101- go to adobe.com and test it there. you also need shockwave too i believe [02:42] Scooma: not for Youtube, you don't [02:42] when i click on an application it appears 3 times on the pannel [02:42] shockwave is very rarely needed these days [02:43] this is a really really weird symptom.. [02:43] Hello, I have this strange annoying problem ... my wireless will work when I start my laptop but randomly after some time (usually a couple hours) it will die by itself and not be able to reconnect unless I shut the laptop off, and start it again (not even a restart) . Any ideas what could be causing this? [02:43] coler, maybe you added 2 more window lists to your panel? === Richie is now known as YDdraigGoch [02:43] Kingsy101- i had that problem last week, rebooted, and it worked [02:43] how do i take off the lists [02:43] when you right click the box the first time you get a about adobe flash option [02:43] coler, right click on them [02:43] Aight [02:43] ShortWave: how about IDA pro? [02:43] is there a way to wipe ubuntu to it's original installed state? Or should I just boot from cd and format/install? [02:43] if you right click it again the firefox window closes automatically [02:43] licul: That's a windows debugger, is it not? [02:44] g1er: what happended? [02:44] thats weird.. [02:44] hey all, i am impressed with ubuntu's simple configurability and robust package system so ive decided to use it for my rather limited linux needs, ill be running it within a vm on a windows box, so i was wondering what the lightest eight option would be for running ubuntu with xorg? should i go with xubuntu? or should i go with ubuntu and replace gnome with something lighter? also will the HAL still work with another destop environmen [02:44] t? [02:44] licul: And that's more of a DISASSEMBLER, not neccessarily a debugger. [02:44] ShortWave: ok. [02:44] so does anyone have an idea? [02:44] that being said, IDA is decent. [02:44] are there any apps under lunix for the iphone? [02:45] Nothing really. I've just messed with so many tuts when it comes to my wireless I'm not sure what I've edited and what I haven't. It's a fairly fresh install. [02:45] Kingsy101: Go to say...liveleak.com and see if any the movies there work. [02:45] when i execute a program it appears 3 times on the gnome pannel. How do i get rid of this [02:45] ok [02:45] g1er: I see, well yes delete the partitions and install agian, if you want to start over [02:46] sebsebseb: ok. thanks [02:46] Shortwave - no the videos dont play on liveleak either [02:46] Shamoun, linux works fine from VMware. As far as lightening it up... Gnome to my understanding is the lighter of the two but I don't think it is faster by much. try KDE and Gnome and stick with whichever one catches your attention faster [02:46] My question is about rocketraid controller and loader.conf. I've placed the rr232x_load="YES" into /boo/loader.conf but that doesn't seem to do the trick. any recommendations? [02:46] /quit [02:46] how do i edit the gnome pannel. Somehow I get three programs when i execute once [02:46] */boot/loader.conf [02:47] Kingsy101: Ok, if you go to the Adobe.com... [02:47] Installed vmware2 on jaunty last night, but it seems to be having issues with the USB... anyone know what is going on with it? [02:47] Kingsy101: Wait, better idea.... [02:47] Aacron, thanks, id probably prefer gnome over kde just cos i use pidgin and xchat alot [02:47] ShortWave: i have downloaded ddd_3.3.11-1_i386.deb, how about its dependicies? i'm using ubuntu 7.4 [02:47] though id probably run those in the host os anyway [02:47] coler, does it actually open the program 3 times? or does it just appear 3 times on the panel? [02:47] ok... [02:47] licul: Probably needs gdb [02:47] licul: at the very least...and Motif. [02:47] Shamoun, pidgin and xchat should work fine in kde as well, but I'm not sure :P [02:47] help.ubuntu.com is awesome [02:47] it appears 3 times on the pannel [02:47] ok, so apt-cache depends python-gdl says it depends on libgdl-1-0, I do apt-get source python-gdl and it downloads gnome-python-extras, I do grep libgdl-1-0 * -R on the folder and it returns nothing.. I'm lost =( [02:48] Kingsy101: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/ [02:48] Aacron, yea but they come with ubuntu, kubuntu comes with some other poo poo [02:48] lol kk :P [02:48] ShortWave: alright. i'll check it out once i got home. thanks again. :) [02:48] it has to do with me pushing aCCIDENTLY THE WINDOWS LIST KEY [02:48] dannyboy: Run this in the terminal --> apt-cache search iphone | grep -i --color iphone [02:48] licul: I do believe you could look the package up and see what deps it has...

[02:49] Scooma: hah, well identify who you're talking about :) [02:49] coler, if you can't figure out how to remove the window lists from your panel you can delete the panel and make a new one [02:50] ShortWave, but flash works [02:50] ShortWave: there are so many files to download. are there any ways that i can download it in a single package? [02:50] Well maybe you don't have THE LATEST then.... [02:50] is there anyway to edit the windows selector.

[02:51] dude_- licul ShortWave so it's licul with the python library problem? [02:51] lslpp: No...what site is telling you that you need a new flash version? [02:52] ShortWave, oh nothing :) [02:52] anyone knows anything that could help my dilemma? [02:52] dude_: what's your dilemma? I missed it.

[02:53] ohellyeah70, routers are typically configured from a web browser, the same regardless of what OS you're running [02:53] ShortWave, but the videos on liveleak and youtube work [02:53] lslpp: hrm, ok === kipas_angin is now known as myphnix [02:53] lslpp: that's curious.

[02:54] how do I erase a rewrittable disc [02:55] unitheory: indeed [02:55] don't have one, friend gave it to me, and linux can't read exe's so I can't install the drivers from the disck. >.< [02:55] unitheory: I might even say "hell yeah" [02:55] anyone have tablet pc please help [02:55] [02:55] [02:55] [02:55] [02:55] SHARKS: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[02:58] WTF [02:58] that was weird. [02:58] maveas- you might want to check in #apache [02:58] I've never used this OS before no.

[02:59] maveas- yes, they're right actually. it's a php thing and not an apache thing [03:00] Dr_Willis: You've never "read" an executable? :) [03:00] ShortWave: ive executed books befor! :) [03:00] Dr_Willis: I just bet you have. [03:00] ./taleoftwocities.txt [03:00] Dr_Willis: heh [03:00] ohellyeah70- to put it simply, the drivers for the intel require the windows sockets/firewall libraries which don't exist on ubuntu [03:00] is this a good command to see what my video card is? 'lspci | grep -i vga' [03:01] dsdeiz: it works here. :) [03:01] great. >.< [03:01] ohellyeah70- so you're heading down the wrong path with what you're attempting to do. [03:01] you don't need drivers for routers [03:01] Dr_Willis: any other methods? :S [03:01] desti_T2: yes and no since some cards might come up as something else like the nvidia but that should work by default [03:02] dsdeiz: no idea..I normally know what video cards i put in my machines.

[03:03] oh i got it lshw -C video [03:03] thanks [03:03] Unless you have a linksys WRT54G running linux...then you can get a shell on it.

[03:04] ShortWave- i think that guy would be severely out of his depth if he attempted that [03:04] Shortwave - I cant get the plugins intalled from adobe.com it just says no suitable plugins found [03:04] entropy: yes it is [03:04] Kingsy101 yeah you have to do a manual install [03:04] ShortWave - what would you do? [03:04] Kingsy101: So at a guess, it smells like something is preventing startup of the flash movie, as if it's getting corrupted or something...or maybe it's not loading the movie. [03:04] Kingsy101: I'd do a lot of things. [03:05] Scooma: He may very well be. [03:05] Scooma, home routers have a web interface that does not require software [03:05] yeh, a manual insall sounds good but I don't know what it install [03:05] jmburgess: right on. I really haven't seen a significant imrovement in surfing/bittorrent with dd-wrt in comparison to the stock ware [03:05] unitheory: Some of them come with software to make it even easier, UDP-style. [03:05] * ShortWave rocks the UDP-style. [03:05] unitheory- yes. but he couldn't get even that far [03:06] ohellyeah70: according to the manual the default password is intel and the default IP is 192.0.2.1 [03:06] Hi guys, I am running Ubuntu under an AMD 32bit Vista Virtualbox host. However, my resolution is 640 x 480. It's hard to see everything because my desktop is too small. From my understanding, I need to download the vBoxLinuxAdditions.run. I am not sure which version I need to download and install, the Win additions or the Linux additions? Thanks in advance... Pete. [03:06] Kingsy101: I guess I should ask if you're on a 32bit or 64 bit machine... [03:07] 32 bit [03:07] well whatever [03:07] 43 bit ubuntu-eee [03:07] lol 32* [03:07] he's gone now [03:08] Anybody familiar here with virtualbox? [03:08] king, which eeepc do you have? [03:08] I am [03:08] !ask | StepNjump [03:08] StepNjump: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [03:08] Ok Shortwave, here is my question: Hi guys, I am running Ubuntu under an AMD 32bit Vista Virtualbox host. However, my resolution is 640 x 480. It's hard to see everything because my desktop is too small. From my understanding, I need to download the vBoxLinuxAdditions.run. I am not sure which version I need to download and install, the Win additions or the Linux additions? Thanks in advance... Pete. [03:09] entropy - eeepc 901 [03:09] Kingsy101: what eeepc do you have? I want the 901 http://is.gd/1boJm [03:09] goddamn you insmod [03:09] Just upgraded to Jaunty and sound does not work anymore. Can anyone help? [03:09] StepNjump: I have to imagine it's the Linux additions, because what you need to do is tell LINUX how to handle the display adapter that VirtualBox exposes to it. [03:09] hey [03:09] Yep that would make sense [03:10] StepNjump: Just FYI...join #vbox [03:10] I thought that too [03:10] entropy - yeh thats what I am using [03:10] Awesome. THanks SW [03:10] seriously, that Jaunty sound thing should be linked in the Topic [03:10] StepNjump, you need to install the guest additions. I believe there's a menu option un the VM to just "Install Guest Additions" and it will go download the one you need. [03:10] Kingsy101: I'm frakin' jealous. how's the keyboard size? [03:10] *under [03:11] entropy - its alright, you get used to it.. it was a nightmare to begin with but its fine [03:11] mjg, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449 [03:11] tgblb, when I click on Install Guest Additions, nothing comes up! [03:11] hey folks [03:11] it would be even better if I could get youtube and stuff workin [03:11] thanks. [03:12] StepNjump, click the places menu in the ubuntu guest [03:12] Kingsy101: do you have a good sense of measure? In inches, how big is one key? [03:12] Kingsy101: You probably only need to install flashplayer-nonfree [03:12] usr13 - I already have that installed [03:13] unitheory, where is the places menu? [03:13] entropy - the key sizes are similar to a normal keyboard... its smaller because everything is closer together [03:13] StepNjump- on the top-left of your screen [03:13] StepNjump, on the panel between applications and system [03:13] Kingsy101: It's "flashplugin-nonfree" [03:13] Good evening all. [03:14] ah ok... [03:14] let me try [03:14] motoh- good morning [03:14] I need a bit of a hand with wifi, and potentially one other thing. [03:14] Kingsy101: Hmph. Okay, so what happens when you view youtube? [03:14] motoh- what's the prob? [03:14] he guys [03:14] motoh: Ask your question(s) [03:14] hey [03:14] ubuntu 9.04 is doing well [03:14] usr13 - check this out, its from my console [03:15] I can't get my card, Intel PRO 4965, to scan 5ghz networks. [03:15] http://pastie.org/522425 [03:15] I upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 using the update manager. Now upon startup, after the usplash, it drops me to tty1 with the message "kinit: no resume image, doing normal boot..." [03:15] It only notices 2.4 [03:15] i used to prefer the fedora distributions [03:15] usr13 - ^^^ [03:15] lspci recognizes the card properly. [03:15] but this release is good all round [03:15] entropy - tbh I don't really know, when a page with a video loads the video is just a black box, no slider play button just a black box [03:15] now if only more places would offer installable deb files for hardware like printers and cams [03:16] entropy - but as you can see by that pastie link above I have flash installed [03:16] gmoney #ubuntu-offtopic [03:16] anyone have tablet pc please pm [03:16] this put me in here by default [03:16] what's the purpose of this irc room? [03:16] Kingsy101: Try uninstalling non-free and instead use the other one. [03:16] gmoney: Take a guess. [03:17] umm [03:17] gmoney: Here's a hint. Type /topic [03:17] cooking tips on spinach [03:17] ? [03:17] motoh: Is the Intel PRO 4965 really a 5ghz radio? [03:17] entropy - don't suppose you know another one? [03:17] Kingsy101: it's just "installer" in synaptic [03:17] hey [03:17] anyone got any ideas what i need to do to get gnome/xorg whatever running again with the message kinit: no resume image, doing normal boot? [03:17] Yeah, it's capable and worked in the older installs. [03:17] later [03:17] Not that it's a good comparison, but "installer" works perfectly for me in 9.04 [03:17] * ShortWave flexes. [03:17] motoh sounds like a small config issue... lemme scan if anyone else has that [03:18] entropy u trhere [03:18] gmoney steam it [03:18] gmoney bailed. [03:18] installer in synaptic? what do yyou mean? [03:18] thedarkone: yes [03:18] can you do it all through apt-get ? [03:18] motoh what security mode do you have your AP on? dual WPA+WPA2? [03:18] does cvs have a startup script in init.d or is it startup by inetd? [03:18] did u get ur sound to work [03:19] WPA2.

All I know how to use is Synaptic. [03:20] * ShortWave isn't running Ubuntu. [03:20] that was after it needed to reboot to finish the upgrade [03:20] babbleback, have you tryed: startx [03:20] babbleback: i think i know whats wrong can i pm? [03:20] unitheory, yes [03:20] entropy - I have synaptic here [03:21] Kingsy101: search for flash [03:21] I wonder if I'm the only person in the room to have used XNest... [03:21] motoh- what's your kernel ver? [03:21] legenend2440, what is pm.. personal message? [03:21] Kingsy101: uninstall "non-free" and install "installer" [03:21] Scooma: Erhm. I'm afraid I don't know how to check. [03:21] babbleback: yes [03:21] ShortWave, I love the smell of a fresh XNest... [03:22] motoh: uname -a in a shell [03:22] motoh - type uname -r [03:22] legened2440, sure [03:22] ok [03:22] unitheory: Sexy.

[03:23] <3 [03:23] Where do I start shooting, Scooma? [03:23] entropy - ok I have unninstalled no-free, but I cant find "installer" where is it? [03:23] Cliff`: it's doable. [03:23] Cliff`: If you lobotomize the init system... [03:24] motoh: http://intellinuxwireless.org/?p=iwlwifi [03:24] Cliff`: and use a REALLY slim kernel...and forget all about every X extension... [03:24] ShortWave, I'm running an EeePC and the CPU is scaled back [03:24] Kingsy101: you don't see flashplugin-installer anywhere? [03:24] installed UNR [03:24] trying to locate the conf [03:24] Cliff`: Spiffy! [03:24] !eeepc [03:24] Information about installing Ubuntu on an Asus EeePC can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC [03:24] hmm [03:24] Cliff`: You can surely optimize the hell out of it then, no? [03:24] motoh- which ubuntu you on? 8 or 9? [03:24] Cliff`, there's a way to set the minimum processor speed so it's not as sluggish [03:24] if you quick search for "flash" it should be right below non-free [03:25] Is there a way that i can undervolt a CPU? [03:25] unitheory, How do you do that? [03:25] organize by package (which lists them alphabetically: [03:25] Scooma: 8.04 [03:25] Erh. [03:25] entropy - no [03:25] 9.04 [03:25] ShortWave, this is a 900MHz Intel CPU, but it scales nac when there is no system load [03:25] MontelEdwards, your processor supports scaling? [03:25] **nac = back [03:26] I have the same prob with Cliff` [03:26] unitheory, huh? [03:26] Cliff`, you want to disable it? [03:26] i'm installing flex sdk in ubuntu as a eclipse plugin, my eclipse config file is in /usr/lib/eclipse, while installation set up when i point towards that directiry, flex is telling you don't have write permissions, change directory, what to do, i changed chmod u+a usr, not working,please help [03:26] entropy - any other way of installing it? [03:26] My laptop's cd rom is no longer working. I have a USB thumb drive, but it is too small to hold the entire ubuntu cd. Can I install ubuntu with portable harddrive?

[03:27] cabrey, I do not need to disale scaling :) this is working just fine [03:27] abhilash1: You installed the Flex SDK,...where? [03:27] hi! guy [03:27] < ShortWave> still installing, it gave error [03:27] AHHH this channel gives me a headache [03:27] motoh- actually i'm not sure on that file [03:27] Cliff`, ahh thought you wanted it disabled :) [03:27] how can i encrypt a users home directory, after the user has been created? [03:27] abhilash1: What kind of error? [03:28] my eclipse configration file is in /usr/lib/eclipse [03:28] ccsm is on my computer [03:28] Scooma - was just about to ask, that file doesn't exist.

[03:28] Kingsy101, http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ [03:28] so i need to point this flex to /usr/lib/eclipse, but its telling you don't have write permissions [03:28] abhilash1: Quite a lot, in fact. [03:28] motoh- from the look of it when you up/down the wifi it checks it exists [03:28] !ccsm | Cliff` [03:28] Cliff`: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion [03:28] abhilash1: The Flex SDK?

[03:29] but http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/ still says I need plugins [03:29] is there a way in ubuntu to disable the mousepad?

(I want only the external mouse to be used) [03:29] Scooma - I'm sorry, I don't understand up/down the device? [03:30] abhilash1: Yes, it will work in Ubuntu. I'm using it ubuntu. [03:30] motoh- it's when you restart your networking ;) [03:30] < ShortWave> oh but at setup its asking to point at eclipse [03:30] lowlycoder, system > preferences > mouse > touchpad [03:30] Kingsy101, I also get this message, but flash works [03:30] motoh- you know you can restart your networking without rebooting, yes? [03:30] abhilash1: Yes, you have to tell it where Eclipse is so it can install the links. [03:30] motoh- are you on wireless now? [03:30] Scooma - yes, but I'm not sure how in ubuntu. [03:30] abhilash1: Did you use sudo? [03:30] please give web address where u downloaded SDK flex, [03:30] Scooma - No, I'm on an alternate machine right now. [03:31] unitheory: i'm not in gnome, how to i pop up the systems preference panel? [03:31] :( could it be because I don't have shockwave installed or somehing??

[03:32] lowlycoder, gnome-control-center [03:32] < ShortWave> through synaptic i installed [03:32] abhilash1: Oh you have issues [03:32] unitheory , lslpp : I only see general & accessibility; no area for touchpad [03:32] wtf is xmonad [03:32] abhilash1: First, you need to get Eclipse 3.3.x. [03:32] unitheory: Window manager [03:33] I upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 using the update manager. Now upon startup, after the usplash, it drops me to tty1 with the message "kinit: no resume image, doing normal boot..." any suggestions? It happened after doing the reboot at the end of the update. [03:33] motoh- sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart on the other machine [03:33] < ShortWave> how to check version of eclipse [03:33] abhilash1: the Flex plugin only works with Eclipse 3.3.x [03:33] is it, i guess i installed latest version........ [03:33] Done. [03:33] motoh- back in a tick [03:33] man, just installed an anon proxy for firefox and it's slow as heck, any way to speed it up? [03:34] abhilash1: http://archive.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.3.2-200802211800/index.php [03:34] abhilash1: Get that. [03:34] < ShortWave> can you give me web link to SDK flex please, i'm intresed in installing that fully:) [03:34] abhilash1: The Flex SDK can be got from Adobe's site. [03:35] abhilash1: You need to install THAT version of eclipse. [03:35] lowlycoder, try this: gconftool -s /desktop/gnome/peripherals/mouse -t bool false [03:35] abhilash1: Install it to a local user directory too. [03:35] babbleback: does typing startx at the command prompt start up x? [03:35] someone told, adobe Flex SDK wont work, they are not opensource, so eclipse needs to be merged, is it true [03:35] motoh- did that work (maybe not?) [03:35] how can i got video output with my svideo cable in jaunty ? [03:36] abhilash1: "someone told"? [03:36] Negative. [03:36] abhilash1: I just told you, I use it. [03:36] ah thought so [03:36] legend2440, no errors [03:36] abhilash1: I know what works. [03:36] will my older eclipse give a problem or shall i delete it [03:36] Scooma - Wifi scan still only shows networks in the 2.4ghz range. [03:36] abhilash1: Do I need to prove my powahz? [03:36] i mean i get errors [03:36] i tried everything i found on the web till now but still not working [03:36] * ShortWave flexes. [03:36] is there a way to tab complete or something for names in pidgen? [03:36] Don't make me prove it. [03:36] babbleback: you using gnome? [03:36] motoh- type: cd /lib/modules/`uname -r` [03:36] I can, and make you look bad at the same time. [03:36] no no, thanks [03:37] Jaunty keeps crashing on me, I want to figure out what makes it crash, can someone offer some ideas? All I know so far is to look into "var/log/syslog" and "/var/log/messages" [03:37] legend2440: oh the tab complete does work... yea i was using gnome before i started the update [03:37] Erh, is that two commands? [03:37] abhilash1: Ok, so do what I'm saying. Get THAT version of eclipse, install it to a local directory, and THEN install the flex builder plugin. [03:37] will ubuntu run on a 120mhz 16meg ram system ? [03:37] abhilash1: THEN you get the latest Flex SDK. [03:37] motoh- it's one command but you build one into the other [03:37] babbleback: this happened after update to jaunty? [03:37] shall i install full FLEX SDK or as eclipse plugin, please tell your views, you have worked [03:37] Critical_threat, nope [03:37] ok ok [03:38] abhilash1: DO...WHAT...I...JUST...SAID. [03:38] Critical_threat, even if it did why would you want to? It would be slow and sluggish, try using xubuntu in that machine instead [03:38] Scooma - I think I'm mistyping something or something isn't working. [03:38] cd /lib/modules/'uname -r' ? [03:38] * ShortWave seizes a nearby wall, and applies his head vigrously. [03:38] ShortWave, simmer down [03:38] legend2440: i was running 8.04 and ran the update to 8.10.. when it had to restart it never made it back to gnome [03:38] anyone know if there are any such things are "themes for evolution"? [03:38] are-as [03:38] what can i use this p120mhz 16meg system for ? [03:39] abhilash1: Just FYI, the "Flex SDK" is completely separate of the plugin. [03:39] Dr_Willis, youre there??? [03:39] and what o/s can i put on it besides win95 ? [03:39] critical.. "puppy linux" [03:39] win 3.1 lol [03:39] motoh- the ` is the left apostrophe (top left of the keyboard) [03:39] goto distrowatch.com [03:39] Aaaah. [03:39] check out puppy linux [03:39] Thankee Scooma [03:39] and there are various versions [03:39] abhilash1: The Plugin is an *eclipse* plugin that adds functionality to Eclipse to provide support for Flex. The actual Flex SDK is separate from the plugin. They're two completely different things, but you NEED both of them. [03:39] hmmm.. i'll take a look at puppy. thats an ohter debain dirivitive correct ? [03:39] Critical_threat, puppy or damn small linux [03:39] Critical_threat, puppy linux sounds like a good candidate so does xubuntu [03:39] yep [03:39] Ok, didn't get an error message, but no output. [03:40] fluxbuntu [03:40] NoonienSoong97, lol 3.1 [03:40] DSL is damn good. [03:40] I <3 DSL [03:40] so anyone know if there are themes for evolution? [03:40] thats what i asked, so without eclipse can i install FLEX, i need eclipse for java [03:40] <3 [03:40] Or wait, now I'm in /lib/modules/2.6.28-13-generic [03:40] usr13: if I understand correctly, the links you gave me are about create a portable ubuntu system. I need to install ubuntu from a usb hard disk [03:40] abhilash1: You can, in fact, install two separate instances of eclipse. [03:40] well a 120 mhz with only 16 megs seems like a really old computer. [03:40] Scooma, I apologise, it's been forever since I've stared into a terminal window. [03:41] abhilash1: You can also use the 3.2.2 version of eclipse for Java dev by using the software update function of Eclipse. [03:41] motoh- actually maybe there's an easier way, like with the intel drivers rather [03:41] does anyone have a solution for my problem to get a svideo output signal in jaunty [03:41] abhilash1: The Flex Builder plugin simply gives it *extra ability*. [03:41] anyone have tablet pc please pm [03:41] NoonienSoong97, it is, just wanted to bring new life to it.. maybe turn it in to a basic web machine for when guests come over.. idk or maybe i'll turn it to a dos machine [03:41] hello can some redirect me to Canada Ubuntu [03:41] is installing from usb hard disk same as from usb stick? [03:41] oh ok, eclipse is compulsory !!fine i'm downloading eclipse latest version [03:41] digdeep: USB hard disk or flash drive either one. [03:41] !canada [03:41] Sorry, I don't know anything about canada [03:41] any Englishmen? [03:42] <``y7> what program handles the dhcp in ubuntu?

[03:46] ebil: Can you restate your question? [03:46] motoh- can you put it on the other machine, with the problem [03:46] abhilash1: Lotta people aren't actually *aware of it*, but 3.3.x is the best case method. [03:46] motoh- then you're going to run the configure and make [03:46] Scooma - already done, just need to know where to untar and what to do with the untar.

[03:47] yes just i came aceoss!!thanks for your support........ [03:47] ShortWave, usr13, I can't seem to get resolv.conf to update in the manner I want. eth0 and ppp0 both pull dhcp addresses, I want to dismiss the nameserver/domain entries sent on eth0 (I think I fixed that by making an interface block with a mostly empty request line) but then even if I add prepend domain-name-servers 192.168.0.1, I only get the two nameservers provided by my ISP to ppp0 and my nameserver never makes it into resolv.conf. I'm t [03:47] hinking that pppoe is not honoring the dhclients.conf file [03:47] unitheory: it only has suspend there [03:47] legend2440: didn't work [03:48] colloguy, there's a slider bar for "put computer to sleep after:" [03:48] helloo yahoo not geting in pidgin help me to solve [03:48] !yahoo | student_ [03:48] student_: At the moment there are many pidgin users experiencing problems connecting to Yahoo IM, you can try changing your paging server to cs101.msg.mud.yahoo.com and see if that helps.

[03:49] ebil: you could always chmod -w the resolve.conf :) [03:49] I had to turn off peerdns, hardcode my resolv.conf file and make it so dhclients doesn't even pull dns servers [03:49] unitheory: is there a way to get it to shut down instead? [03:49] enyting on ubuntu fr [03:49] how to change server ubottu? [03:49] ShortWave, yes, that would work, but no offense, it's a retarded solution. There is a real problem and every solution I see says to chattr -i. that's not solving the problem but blocking the symptom [03:49] is there any method to upgrade eclipse 3.2 to 3.3.2?? i would be good.......... [03:50] ebil: No argument. [03:50] ebil: I knew it was retarded when I said it. [03:50] ShortWave, that was obvious at least :) and I appreciate it. I think I will go with that for now and post a well crafted bug report on ubuntu [03:51] now I need to figure out how to do cross-vpn dns resolution [03:51] colloguy, not sure. i know you can make it suspend or hibernate [03:51] legend2440: all my files are still there... just no gui [03:51] student_, Account> Manage Account .. select your !Y account > Modify > Advanced tab [03:51] motoh- yup untar it with file-roller [03:51] ebil: It's the whole "file gets modified but I don't want it to be modified? -w!" thing. [03:51] unitheory: or hibernate on a timer, that too is good... on my comp, hibernate just turns it off [03:51] Scooma - any particular place I should untar it? [03:52] motoh- pref in your downloads dir cos chances are you'll need to repeat this the next time your kernel updates [03:52] ShortWave, LOL. yes. I know the cause is in dhclient or pppd, possibly the dhclient-script. I need to check :) but yeah, as soon as I get this cross-vpn dns stuff working, my project of linking my network at my parents house and my network at my house will be complete [03:52] scooma - understood. It's all set, and I'm in the directory in terminal. === mobi-sheep__ is now known as mobi-sheep_ [03:53] ebil: Egads. That's a project for sure. [03:53] motoh- so: file-roller iwlwifi-1.0.0-1.tgz [03:53] ebil: Hard to untangle all that, but first off, pppoe servers do not "honor dhlcient.conf files and neither do pppoe client applications, so we can check that one off the list. But we would need to know what you really have on your lan to help you. [03:53] Erp. [03:53] motoh remember to check "extract with paths" or something like that [03:53] 1.0.0.1? I may ahve the wrong file, a moment. [03:53] ebil: Do you have a DSL modem that is doing the pppoe authentication for you? [03:53] usr13, Ahh, that makes sense then. is there anywhere in pppoe where I can specify to always add a specific DNS server? [03:53] babbleback: try sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [03:53] motoh- the file down the bottom of the webpage, ya? [03:53] usr13, yes, westell (stupid verizon dsl at my parents) [03:54] legend2440: ok [03:54] colloguy, you want me to show you how to change what "sleep" does or do you just want a command? [03:54] Where do I go to add Computer, Trash and Network Servers on the desktop? [03:54] usr13, I was under the (apparently mistaken) assumption that pppoe used dhclient for getting the address. [03:54] Cliff`, use configuration editor [03:54] ebil: Ok, so the westell modem is doing the pppoe authentication for you. Is this westell modem also acting as a router? [03:54] Cliff`, Gnome or KDE? [03:54] babbleback: when its done reboot. ive read two posts that say that worked [03:55] legend2440: already at the newest version [03:55] ebil: eewwww, verizon. [03:55] Scooma I'm afraid I didn't see any file with that title. I went to the download page and found iwlwifi-4965-ucode-228.57.2.23.tgz [03:55] ebil: Nasty man.

[03:55] ebil: Course, i shoulda guessed that with the pppoe and all. [03:55] * ShortWave hurls a shoe at ferret_. [03:55] Cliff`, Alt-F2 -> gconf-editor [03:55] i have the netbook remix installed.. did a sudo apt-get install gimp... where can find the program on this little interface they made for the remix? [03:55] usr13, nope, map is: router is a ubuntu 9.04 server w/ 5 ethernet devices. eth0->westell (which creates ppp0 when brought up) eth1->my network eth2->my test network eth3->dad's network [03:55] colloguy, you can change it in gconf-editor [03:55] babbleback, under graphics [03:56] unitheory: oh, that should be enough... thanks! [03:56] ShortWave, yeah, it is. but I'm not paying for it and they're switching to cable at least (cox is decent) [03:56] ebil: I'm not familiar with the westell modem, does it also have router or wireless AP capabilities? [03:56] cabrey, thanks [03:56] Cox is aight. It's what I have [03:56] Jaunty keeps crashing on me, I want to figure out what makes it crash, can someone offer some ideas? All I know so far is to look into "var/log/syslog" and "/var/log/messages" [03:56] usr13, nope, usb and ethernet in the back. I believe it's currently routing (it gives eth0 a 192.168.1.x address over dhcp) [03:57] ebil: My guess is that you may have two dhcp servers competing on your LAN and that is what could be causing the problems. [03:57] cabrey: doesn't show [03:57] usr13: It's got a build in bridge. [03:57] err [03:57] built-in [03:57] usr13, I managed to block eth0 out of editing the resolv.conf file by creating an interface "eth0" block in dhclients.conf which only gets an address/netmask [03:58] You know, I probably woulda thought of that if I hadn't already had 3 glasses of wine [03:58] cabrey: oopps... i guess i hadn't installed it :) [03:58] usr13, so I know that ppp0 is the culprit, I just don't know how to whip it into submission :( [03:58] ShortWave: So the westell modem does pppoe but only bridge mode, (you can only connect one PC to it), right? [03:58] ebil- you're going about it the hard way. set a dns in your options on your router and it will override the pppoe defined dns servers [03:59] ebil: So is the pppoe authentication working? [03:59] mezquitale, when does it crash? [03:59] usr13: I think that's the case, but I don't have one. [03:59] ebil- but you still need to know what your upstream dns routers are for resolution [03:59] Scooma, I'm not going about it the hard way, I need the DNS servers from verizon in order to resolve things like news servers and email [03:59] can anyone tell me a software I can use to make iso files under ubuntu? Brasero only gives me the .toc option [03:59] usr13, yeah, pppoe works great. and it grabs the verizon dns server addresses... but nukes the resolv.conf file with them... [03:59] Scooma - sorry, I'm ready with the files extracted now. [04:00] unitheory, my pc crashes randomly, consistengly while playing 3d games (urban terror) but also when Im just surfing the web with firefox, xchat, and listening to mp3z [04:00] ebil: Well, then the westell IS also a router and DOES have a DHCP server on it. [04:00] What is the best online backup for Ubuntu? (like Mozy) [04:00] ebil- set up a dhcp server with the options as the 192.168.0.1 as the resolver then [04:00] is there a way i can get a list of packages that will ask me questions when i dpkg-reconfigure them? [04:00] ebil: If that is the case, one of the two DHCP servers need to be turned off. [04:00] ebil- disable the dhcp server on the router [04:01] usr13- :) [04:01] motoh- no problemo [04:01] usr13, yes, but it's affecting eth0 which actually does honor the dhclients.conf file and does not update resolv.conf [04:01] hey guys, trying to install Ubuntu Jaunty. I noticed that I'm unable to connect. I don't even see my wireless network in the list. My wireless card is a Texas Instrument ACX100 22Mbps [04:01] ebil: Is 192.168.0.1 the address of the westell router/modem? [04:01] unitheory, if you could tell me what logs to go watch I can take it from there [04:01] usr13, yeah, [04:01] Thanks for the help everyone, I have my Ubuntu UNR set up just the way I want now! :) [04:01] ebil: Forget the dhclients.conf file, that is not an issue here. [04:02] motoh- okay so, for the future, your instructions are in the README.iwlwifi file [04:02] usr13, ok... [04:02] kesiode, http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-6509.html [04:02] motoh- hop into the extracted dir, and: cat README.iwlwifi [04:02] Anyone? [04:02] Scooma - Thankee much. Will poke if I get lost again. [04:03] ebil: If the westell router/modem is giving out wrong information, you either need to correct it or durn off the dhcp server, one or the other. [04:03] motoh- cool. so we're going to follow their instructions. type: cat INSTALL [04:03] ebil: But what is connected to the westell modem/router? [04:03] mezquitale, what model computer are you running? [04:04] usr13, phone line comes into the westell, which connects to eth0 on my router. nothing actually goes in/out on eth0, it's just a dead interface. [04:04] moto and as you can see, under "10. BUILDING EXTERNAL" we're going to type sudo make [04:04] usr13, the westell is giving ppp0 the correct dhcp information [04:04] however, it is nuking my entire resolv.conf dns settings [04:04] motoh- eh sorry type sudo make install [04:04] It seems I am not able to install ubuntu. My laptop cannot boot from usb device (Dell D610) + cd rom dies [04:05] hey guys i just created a new ext4 partition for "storage", mounted it using "mount -a", and set proper privileges (chown, chmod).. i was wondering: what is the "lost+found" folder for exactly? and is it needed in my case? [04:05] digdeep, have you enabled booting from usb in the BIOS ? [04:05] unitheory, 2.6.28-3-rt #12-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT running on an AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5600+ [04:05] nellmathew- don't touch it if you don't know what it's for ;) [04:05] usr13, I just need to find a way that pppoe will ALSO write my internal dns server address into resolv.conf [04:05] ebil: you should not be using ppp0 if the westell modem is doing the pppoe authentication. [04:05] usr13: Where do u live? here in the morning I just woke up. [04:05] Scooma - didn't work. Warning: $Shell not set to bash - no rule to make target 'compatible/iwl4965.ko' needed by 'install' [04:05] Scooma: lol fair enough [04:05] mezquitale, did you custom build it ? [04:05] usr13, sorry, maybe I misunderstood, pppoe (pppd dsl-provider) is doing the auth. [04:06] bob_rock: USA [04:06] motoh- okay let's sudo -i [04:06] What online backup systems are you all using? [04:06] nellmathew- but to answer your question, it's where files are put that are recovered from a fsck [04:06] kk. [04:06] crap [04:06] motoh- you get a # root prompt? === ebil is now known as ebil|afk [04:07] ebil: Is the westell modem doing the pppoe authentication? Or is your Ubuntu PC doing the pppoe authentication? [04:07] felixsulla, an external hard drive [04:07] Scooma - yes, and I've navigated back to the iwl folder. [04:07] motoh- okay so type: make [04:07] ebil|afk: Let's start over: Are you in USA?

[04:11] motoh- did you JUST do an upgrade? [04:11] unitheory, thank you for your honest input however my machine has not crashed while using a screen saver or going on hibernation or what not, I need to know what logs to look for, hopefully a guru will drop by sometime soon [04:11] mezquitale, good luck!

[04:20] babbleback- easiest thing is to update-initiramfs -u and it should fix the resume image [04:20] nago, Would it make sense to do it with cron in case it fails the first time? [04:20] hola [04:20] that's at boot, are there options in there to run every time a network interface is brought up? [04:20] Scooma: is that the exact command? [04:20] que hacer el internet [04:20] motoh- sorry i meant apt-get upgrade [04:20] err, by brought up I mean connected to the internet..... maybe I'll just look at noip2 :p [04:20] usr13: how's California?

[04:21] nago, another thought is the scripts in /etc/network/if-up.d/ [04:21] Scooma - apt-get upgrade gives me all tasks done, and 0 upgraded, newly installed, remove and not upgraded. [04:21] i setup webmin quite some time ago but I forgot which port I configured it to, how can I find that out? [04:22] nago, I believe they run when an interface is brought up. More research would be needed though... [04:22] msl, and just add the script to both interfaces that I use? [04:22] i have a newer kernel version that won't boot (panics), and an older version that will [04:22] Hi guys. I am a new one.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [04:23] hola [04:23] if i apt-get reinstall linux-image-generic, will that go smoothly and will it likely fix the problem (is it the right package to reinstall)?

The guy at Sony told me no, but I thought you can run Linux pretty much on any PC hardware.... [04:25] bob_rock: Nope, Texas [04:25] lorenzino: you could always bring in a LIVECD and test it out in front of his face.. [04:25] Pici: usr13 is my friend who just helped me. [04:25] motoh- yup okay then we're at: sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-generic restricted-manager [04:25] I have an Auzentech Xplosion sound card, they don't provide linux drivers, any tips? [04:25] lorenzino: You are correct, your salesman is in-correct. [04:25] motoh- also we'll want the build stuff too: sudo apt-get install module-assistant build-essential [04:25] If it works with a live CD, will it work when installed, too? [04:25] ...or will this reinstall cause problems while i'm running; must it be done from a live cd? should i reinstall linux-generic instead, or another package? [04:25] lorenzino, yes, or better [04:25] lorenzino: You are correct again. (You are 2 for 2) :) [04:26] Ah, that second one is chugging at downloading something, Scooma. [04:26] usr13: Do u know when Ubuntu Karmix will be released? [04:26] Thank you. I should not have problems because of lack of drivers for that particular hardware, correct ? [04:26] lorenzino: yes, one would assume if the live cd runs without issues then an install should be fine [04:26] Hi [04:26] Just got 'buntu installed [04:26] bob_rock: I don't know [04:26] !9.10 | bob_rock [04:26] bob_rock: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [04:26] lorenzino: The salesman probably freaked out at the word "linux". [04:26] Just wondering what to enable to get the 'full' package list? [04:27] I remember something about a repository to add to synaptic... [04:27] is there a way to find out what was the last package installed? [04:27] Pici: I go to Ubuntuforums.org, it seem there leakage of Ubuntu 9.10 [04:27] clarjon1: Enable the "Third-Party Software" in Software Sources. [04:27] clarjon1: system-administration-synaptic [04:27] motoh- when it's finished, do a make in the iwlwifi dir (you should still be there anyway) [04:28] then yeah what mobi-sheep said [04:28] bob_rock: Lol. It's not a leak. It's alpha2 -- You're welcome to play with it -- but may cause breakage! [04:28] mobi-sheep: Much thanks [04:28] lorenzino: My experience with sales people is that if you ask them a question they dont know the answer to, (and they think maybe they should), they will make something up. [04:28] Pici: Someone out there has installed 9.10 [04:28] unitheory, sudo tail /var/log/apt/term.log [04:28] Scooma - no change. [04:28] i've read you can make a raid10 with 2 devices, but mdadm is telling me i don't have enough devices... can someone help? [04:28] bob_rock: It is not a leak.

[04:29] mobi-sheep: Still here? =/ sorry I got a small emergancy call [04:29] clarjon1: How to get it? [04:29] bob_rock: It's called a leak when the people do not want it out.

[04:38] kinja-sheep: Yup, it says whenever someone says my name [04:38] if I see a key-value pair in gconfeditor, how do I found out where it's stored on disk? [04:38] legend2440: how do you force the install? [04:38] Scooma - still there? [04:38] Titan8990: Yup same... Left4Dead is my current addiction [04:38] legend2440: remove then install?

The latest nvidia kernel is 185 and that's toter is not using at the moment. So we'll put you on the [latest] nvidia kernel and see if that does work. :) [04:39] message me there whats up all! [04:39] or a "time remaining" option? [04:39] Nexxi: Everybody in Ubuntu are using nvidia 180. That might help your case. :) [04:39] toter, time make [04:39] kinja-sheep: Sounds good :) Just let me know what I need to do ) [04:39] Pici: how would babbleback force a reinstall of ubuntu-desktop. ? [04:39] legend2440: --reinstall? [04:40] toter, You can use the time command to time operations. [04:40] msl: thanks! i'll interrupt the compilation to try that [04:40] Nexxi: rm -f /etc/X11/xorg.conf* [04:40] babbleback: yea try sudo apt-get reinstall ubuntu-desktop [04:41] toter, It can't tell you how much time is remaining, but if you want to time it once it will give you an idea of how much time in the future [04:41] kinja-sheep: Done [04:41] Nexxi: Just making sure --> sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop --> then run that first command again.

[04:44] Does someone know the answer to my question? [04:44] [04:44] babbleback: yea try sudo apt-get reinstall ubuntu-desktop [04:44] admin__, gparted [04:44] Nexxi: You should see a complete progress of a downloaded script (100%) [04:44] bob_rock: The issue is not that a port is open, but that there is a service listening on it. [04:44] what unitheory? === systm_ is now known as systm [04:45] bob_rock, What application do you have that uses port 1200? [04:45] legend2440: doesn't recognize reinstall [04:45] bob_rock: All ports are open if they are not blocked by firewall software.

[04:46] Nexxi: sudo ./install-nvidia-debian.sh [04:46] babbleback: so you need to reboot to see if it worked? [04:47] legend2440: guess so brb [04:47] usr13: netstat -pantu for monitoring port right? [04:48] kinja-sheep: command not found? [04:48] bob_rock: netstat -pantu Will show you services that are listening on the various ports. [04:48] if I install something with gnome-app-install, will it be mirrored within synaptic?. [04:48] Nexxi: chmod +u install-nvidia-debian.sh [04:48] Nexxi: That's adding permission.

[04:50] admin__: Yup, Scooma if you pretty much need NTFS [04:50] kinja-sheep: Yeah, still not found [04:50] kinja-sheep, 1) Make it executable (chmod +x yourfile.sh) [04:50] kinja-sheep, 2) Run the script (./yourfile.sh) [04:50] bob_rock- you should check on the wine website before attempting an installation under wine to see if it's marked as being compatible [04:51] kinja-sheep: isn't it just sh file.sh [04:51] kinja-sheep: Yup, got it work with +x [04:51] can I get a recommendation for backing up my desktop to a network drive? something more advanced than rsync run from a cron? [04:51] monde- amanda? [04:51] Scooma: It's local program, i'm afraid there is no [04:51] Nexxi: Better be root since it prompt that. [04:52] Nexxi: Yup [04:52] msl: Thank you. ;3 [04:52] Scooma isn't amanda client/server? [04:52] Nexxi: Oh I used +u, not +x --> My fault.

I hit the command in Gparted and it said it was done in about 10 seconds. What could cause that? [04:52] monde- you wanted something more advanced than rsync [04:52] the disk I'm backing up to is a Western Digital network drive [04:53] anyone here using yahoo w/ pidgin ? [04:53] hello everyone!

I'm testing out N185.0 too. ;) [04:53] !yahoo | bob3 [04:53] bob3: At the moment there are many pidgin users experiencing problems connecting to Yahoo IM, you can try changing your paging server to cs101.msg.mud.yahoo.com and see if that helps.

[04:54] admin__, Does gparted format drives? It may only partition the drive and set the partitions system id (which tells it the filesystem to expect) [04:55] Nexxi: Just look in CTRL + F7 [04:55] See if it's running. [04:55] msl, yes, parted can format partitions as well as create and resize them [04:55] msl: I was told that it did. I need to format a Portable HDD to FAT32. other ideas?

[04:57] ok guy's I'll try that [04:57] mobi-sheep: I'll try to reboot, brb [04:58] admin__, Be sure to use mkfs.vfat. fsck.vfat is a filesystem check, not formatting the partition... [04:59] does anyone know of a opensource xbox360 streaming server app? [04:59] msl, well i'm not trying to format a partition but an entire portable HDD [04:59] admin__, Well, it will be one big partition.

[05:03] admin__, You probably can't format the device. You will need to format the partition: mkfs.vfat /dev/sdb1 [05:04] msl thanks [05:04] admin__, Success? [05:04] msl maybe, we'll see, gonna plug into mac [05:05] btw how do you do the red text messages? [05:05] admin__, They are highlighted when they have your nickname (admin__) in them. :) [05:06] (msl) did that work then? [05:06] admin__, Yes. You don't need the parentheses though. [05:06] admin__: you don't need to put his name in brackets.

[05:13] is a wubi ubuntu install slower than a hard install? [05:13] fosa: by a small amount, yes [05:13] ebil: NP [05:13] admin__, It takes a bit of curiosity, but once you get used to the power, you won't want to go back. :) [05:13] anyone running linux only on the asus 1000he eeepc [05:13] !anyone | glicks [05:13] glicks: 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? [05:13] Seany, because I use apps that won't run in linux [05:13] after i instlaled ubuntu on it, boot booster option disppeared frmo the bios [05:13] ziroday drats, now there's incentive to make it a hard install [05:14] admin__, me too, i dual boot for the ones that a virtualbox won't handle [05:14] usr13, I had to run out and get dinner for the gf, she baked 10 pies (completely from scratch) for my company picnic tomorrow, I figured she deserved dinner LOL [05:15] Seany, i'll probably do a dual boot setup when win 7 comes out. gotta love folding through linux, so fast [05:15] thanks all again, adios [05:15] glicks: did you leave 16MB on the first disk for boot booster to sit in? [05:15] admin__: You will probably find that most all jobs the applications did for in MS Windows can be done with OO apps. [05:15] I'm so close. How do I get this perl command to work with the null terminated strings? -- find -print0 | perl -ne 'print if /[^[:ascii:]]/' | xargs -0 [05:15] ebil: You bet she did! :) [05:15] glicks: also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC/Using#Enabling Bootbooster [05:16] and that's xargs -0 rm [05:16] I said OO but men OS (open source). [05:16] but admin__ left before I got it typed out anyway. [05:17] how can I tell what soundcard I have? is there a terminal command? [05:17] aurilliance: if its pci doing lspci should show it [05:17] aurilliance: lspci [05:17] ty both [05:17] aurilliance: lspci | grep audio [05:17] <_BigWings_> i have no sound on jaunty on my laptop, can anyone in here help me/ [05:17] hello [05:17] im using file zilla [05:18] and only half the files im trying to upload [05:18] are loading [05:18] why would this be [05:18] it says incorrect password [05:18] next to the files that dont load [05:18] but its loading files [05:20] ok I can get sound in ubuntu 9.04 on my laptop, but it skips and jumps a lot, I'm guessing it's to do with not having proper drivers. lspci says my audio device is "nVidia Corporation MCP78S [GeForce 8200] Hight Definition Audio (rev a1)" could someone help me figure out where / how to get drivers for that? [05:20] thanks ziroday [05:21] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto aurilliance [05:21] holaxD [05:21] thanks a ton bazhang [05:21] ive managed to crash my ubuntu machine about 5 times in a couple of hours, whereas its only ever happened once or twice before. Im using it to forward ip packets so i can share my dialup connection with another ubuntu box. Any ideas why it would crash? It really has crashed, no response to ctrl-alt-delete or ctrl-alt-backspace or ctrl-alt-Fbutton [05:22] pedestrianentra1, tried ctrl alt f1 to get to a command line? [05:23] pedestrianentra1: do the caps lock, num lock keys flash when it crashes? [05:23] Seany: yes i tried switching to other virtual terminals. It was dead. The strange thing is that it has happened so many times in the last couple of hours, and the only thing im doing different is that ip forwarding [05:23] ziroday: sorry im sitting at the other machine not looking at the gateway [05:24] Quick and easy one: How do I switch to japanese input? [05:24] motoh, using scim [05:24] pedestrianentra1: next time it does jot down the time, wait a couple of minutes and the restart the machine. Pastebin the /var/log/syslog and /var/log/kern.log for us all to see (and give us the time it crashed) [05:25] are there any applets for AWN that are like the network connections thing at the top right in the default ubuntu gui layout ... i.e. is there some way I can add an applet or something to AWN that lets me see available wireless networks and connect to them? [05:25] ziroday:ok thanks. Why wait a couple of minutes btw? [05:25] how can I open a .txt.gz ? [05:25] hi. I would like to install PHP using ubuntu's package manager but I would need to pass in some command line options to configure it.. how can I do this ? --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs' '--with-mysql' '--with-curl' '--enable-ftp' '--with-gd' [05:25] aurilliance:gunzip [05:25] ty [05:26] aurilliance, You need to un-gzip it first: gzip -d file.txt.gz [05:26] pedestrianentra1: because when you start back up a bunch of messages are printed to those logs. It makes it hard to work out the crash messages and the start messages [05:26] ziroday:ok thanks will do === MB is now known as Guest78929 [05:28] hi all, I was trying to make iso's of cd's using: dd if=/dev/cdrom of=cd.iso. It works fine for data but not for audio. any suggestions? === wsr3193 is now known as evil_extremist [05:29] #dumai [05:29] also is there any way in compiz to set up a hot corner that doesn't require clicking or to make a specific hot corner (bottom left) bigger so I can more easily activate it with my stylus [05:29] Hi - :) I just tried to install Ubuntu 9.04 on an old desktop and it just ended up reformatting my drive - the install itselve failed :( [05:29] how can I check to see if its my CD thats corrupt or the HD? [05:29] Lichreaper: in what way did it fail? [05:30] gave me an error that stated either the CD or HD was corrupt and then shut dow [05:30] kesiode: Yes, audo is different than data. I just use k3b [05:30] when I powered back on - all I get is the boot menu - won't boot from the CD anymore [05:30] how can I tell what version of ubuntu I am using ? [05:30] Lichreaper: you can check the cd integrity with a midsum 5 [05:30] !md5 | Lichreaper [05:30] Lichreaper: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [05:30] @lich: you should be able to run the live cd and then choose the verify cd option instead of install [05:30] Lichreaper: I would run a smart test on the drive. And find the MD5 hashes for the cd image to test it. [05:31] ARG [05:31] can I run md5sum on Vista? [05:31] on this page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto where it says open your ALSA documentation and find your card, my card isn't in the file at all! what do I do??? [05:31] dcnstrct, lsb_release -a [05:31] aurilliance: what card do you have? [05:31] Lichreaper: not unless MS provides the hash to check it against [05:32] ALC1200 [05:32] Lichreaper, You will need to download a program, I believe. I usually use the one hosted at etree. [05:32] All I have right now is a Windows Vista and Windows XP system [05:32] rdaruszka: ^ [05:32] the desktop only has boot menu available [05:32] thank you [05:32] Lichreaper: installed or on cd ?? [05:32] ? [05:33] hi all....anyone knows where the notify-osd logs its notifications ? i'm not able to find it! [05:33] Ubuntu was on the CD [05:33] Lichreaper: how much ram does your computer have? [05:34] find / -name *.log -print :-) [05:34] which one? :p [05:34] Lichreaper: if it runs vista probably 512 or better.. hopefully better [05:34] I have 4 computers [05:34] ah [05:34] does anyone know the command for the network manager on the top right gnome panel? [05:34] the one getting Ubuntu just got its HD wiped [05:35] and it has 1 GB RAM [05:35] tophu, Is it NetworkManager? [05:35] my Vista system has 2GB ram [05:35] I am running a custom built 2.6.30 kernel.. using the NVIDIA binaries from nvidia's website.. I also have kernels 2.6.28-11 and 2.6.28-13 which had used the nvidia binaries via jockey (nvidia-glx-180), my question, is it possible to have the nvidia binaries from nvidia and the meta package install from jockey co-exist? because when I installed the binaries from nvidia, the other two kernel's could no longer load the nvidia modu [05:35] im having a problem with openoffice writer where if i click options it crashes [05:35] tophu, It's NetworkManager [05:36] winblows [05:36] winsucks [05:36] is there anything like that for awn? [05:36] mircosucks [05:36] nothing wrong with my vista system [05:36] Lichreaper: you could try to boot to the live cd and then go to System>Admin>partition manager and use that to partition your HD prior to install.. make 3 partitions.. one 12 gig.. one 1 gig.. and the remainder as the 3rd. [05:36] any1 have an idea of whats happenin [05:36] does ubuntu 8.10 auto the rwin values ? [05:36] In an open society who needs gates and windows. [05:36] yeah [05:37] I have a 3meg download line but I think my isp is clamping me. [05:37] scunizi - I did boot from LiveCD. Worked at first, started the install, reformatted the drive and then failed. Now I cannot boot from the HD or CD-ROM [05:37] Lichreaper: then try installing again.. when you get to the partition portion choose manual and make the 12 gig partition / (or root).. the 1 gig as /swap and the rest at /home [05:37] just use unetbootin to create a "bootable" usb hard disk. When booting from usb storage (on my laptop), it says NTLDR missing [05:37] how do i copy a cdrom to a iso file ? [05:37] Syrius, I'm fine with transparent Windows. ;-) [05:37] how do I install from the boot menu? [05:37] it won't let me boot from the CD [05:37] winblows [05:37] I'm tryin to create a new CD [05:38] Lichreaper: Now that's weird.. you don't install from the boot menu.. you run the live cd or alternate cd to install. [05:38] why do some people call ubuntu ubuntblows or ubuntard [05:38] I know you don't install from the boot menu [05:38] I was being facetious [05:38] !offtopic | Syrius [05:38] Syrius: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [05:38] scunizi - my point is the damn thing will not boot from HD or CD-ROM [05:38] Lichreaper: sometimes it's hard to tell here. [05:39] all I get is the boot menu - thats it [05:39] It does have event log data [05:39] elle est bien la derniere version de ubuntu ? [05:40] Lichreaper: well.. because the install failed it probably won't boot from the hd.. not booting from the cdrom is a problem.. try booting to a windows install cd if you have an oem or retail version.. that would check the cdrom.. sort of. [05:40] Mainly the errors in the log are "Memory Size Different" and "Keyboard Error" [05:40] need help with openoffice crashin in xubuntu [05:40] Lichreaper: what log? [05:40] well I have an old copy of Windows 2003 Server .. let me try that [05:40] Lichreaper, try using the alternative cd [05:40] scunizi - event log from boot menu [05:41] Lichreaper: well at least it has that.. how many sticks of ram in the machine? [05:41] 2 sticks - 512MB each [05:42] Lichreaper: you might try pulling one and if that doesn't work replace the one with the other you pulled and try again.. but try that after the win2003 server boot test and after trying to boot from the newly created live cd. === pemuda_sehat is now known as fitri_cute [05:43] ok its booting the windows server CD [05:44] Lichreaper: ok.. then maybe you just have a bad burn on the ubuntu cd.. If you haven't tried turning the speed of the burner down you should do that. As slow as it will go.. I don't know why it works sometimes but it does help get a more reliable burn of the iso. [05:44] Does anyone know of an Ubuntu program to post to Twitter and Facebook at the same time? [05:44] I have no sound on my laptop, can someone help ? [05:44] how do I do that? turn down the speed? [05:45] felixsulla you can use gnome do [05:45] Lichreaper: it should be an option someplace in your burning software. [05:45] i believe it has plugins that allows you to [05:45] hmm wierd .. for grins and giggles I took out the Windows 2003 disk and tried the ubuntu disk again and now its booting [05:46] Lichreaper: you might just have a flaky cdrom [05:46] this is what I get for working with an 8 year old system === joshthecoder is now known as joshthecoder_afk [05:46] s/an 8 year old system/computers/ [05:47] ok its letting me check the disk .. if it corrupt I'll burn a new one.

[05:57] gumbotron: you might try uninstalling the same packages and see if that fixes it.. if it does then you should file a bug report. [05:57] did se a similar bug report thats was dated all the way back to 2007 [05:57] if i remember right [05:57] ive managed to crash my ubuntu machine about 5 times in a couple of hours, whereas its only ever happened once or twice before. Im using it to forward ip packets so i can share my dialup connection with another ubuntu box. Any ideas why it would crash?

Ive posted the details of kern.log and sys.log at http://paste.ubuntu.com/202549/ and [05:58] gumbotron: you also might ask in #xubuntu [05:58] should i uninstall and reinstall [05:58] yea last time i went no one was there [05:58] ziroday:there's that info you wanted... this is crazy, its crashed twice in the last 10 min [05:58] gumbotron: just uninstall first and test..

[07:23] !flash | Stanley_ [07:23] Stanley_: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [07:23] GreyGhost just as what kaffiene told me as i posted before /usr/share/doc/kaffiene/install-css.sh [07:23] GhostWolf76: sudo find /usr -name 'install-css.sh' [07:23] I need help, I try to burn a DVD image with brasero, and it says its "unable to mount the media, there is most likely no media in the drive" and now Jaunty will not mount ANY disc's [07:24] GhostWolf76, then . open console .. sudo /usr/share/doc/kaffiene/install-css.sh [07:24] GreyGhost i just said when i came in i did that and says bash:command not found [07:26] GhostWolf76, then u have must have put the path wrong .. [07:26] i wrote it down and typed it correctly.. [07:28] GhostWolf76, ur first post reads dock in place of dock .. [07:28] *doc [07:28] thats cause i type fast in here [07:28] just tried out fedora 11....i ran better beta1 distro's [07:28] and i redid it multiple times before coming in [07:29] GhostWolf76, thats weird .. if the files there then it shuld run .. [07:29] well i know and even did what pahom told me to do and it still didn't work [07:29] GreyWolf76: what are you trying to do [07:29] mobi-sheep, i followed all the links but i still cant find an app that would back up HD to HD automatically [07:30] k1en: a script and a cron job [07:30] GhostWolf76: Did you try a search? [07:30] Stupendoussteve, considering i know little about scripting - how difficlut would that be? [07:30] jamiewan its GhostWolf not GreyWolf and im trying to play a dvd movie in kaffeine and it says when i click on play dvd this dvd video is encrypted [07:31] GhostWolf76, u did make sure that the file is there right?? rather than just reading documents ? [07:31] GreyGhost yes its there.. [07:31] k1en: Not difficult at all. If you know the commands you want to use you just put them in a file and mark it executable, more or less [07:31] k1en: With cron you could just put the command in your crontab even [07:31] GhostWolf76, try sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2 [07:31] Stupendoussteve, can i use a rsync command ? === pryda is now known as Pryda [07:31] GhostWolf: i had trouble with that and ended up using mplayer most of the time and vlc player works great also, [07:31] k1en: yes [07:31] GreyGhost i have kubuntu 8.04 [07:32] k1en: See "man 5 crontab" for information about how to set the schedule, then you just put the command afterwards [07:32] not have using kubuntu 8.04 [07:32] Stupendoussteve, cron comes with ubuntu right? so i just need to figure out the command and put in cron cron-tab? how do i make it back-up every night at 9 oclock? [07:32] jamiewan: to think of it VLC player is all u need its amazing for Flv or mp3 or anything for that matter [07:33] Stupendoussteve, ok,,,,is there a gui for cron? [07:33] its cross platform application.. works amazingly [07:33] k1en: Not that I know of, it's not really that complicated though [07:33] sleepy cat: yeah it solved all my problems really [07:33] Stupendoussteve, ok ,,,,thank you [07:33] Does anyone know any Beat creators like fl studio for windows?

So if I encrypt both discs with the same password during installation, do I need to enter the password 2 times at boot time?

The last remaining problem seems to be that when editing an image in GIMP (which I do a lot a lot a lot), using the text editor, portions of the image will go blank whenever I change anything.

[10:45] blind|melon|chit: what's the version number supposedly [10:46] SultansElephant: The version that's currently available in the repositories is: 0.31-0ubuntu2, the fixed version is (according to the post I read) 0.31-0ubuntu3 [10:46] any ideas why general surfing is much slower in ubuntu than in windows? [10:46] firefox is especially slow [10:46] blind|melon|chit: it's in karmic [10:46] ey!

I'd like to keep a stable system :> [10:48] i was told it would be easier, but i cant get it to request username and passwords on windows machines, it simply says, permission denied [10:48] then grab it, then add a # next to karmic before running updates [10:49] it's just to get that one package you want [10:49] anyone got any ideas? [10:49] SultansElephant, Oh, I see...yeah I suppose that might work actually, thanks I'll give it a try...I'm sure it's easy enough to revert if it doesn't work anyway [10:49] Is it just me or does "update manager" take forever? it likes hangs === portaezi33 is now known as portaezi4 [10:50] its stuck on 8/12 packages installed [10:50] =( [10:50] language pack i belive [10:50] ubuntu's current repositories just want to make sure you can't do anything dumb. the worse that i can see happening is the application doesn't work or crashes the system, not break it. [10:50] i've added a user to the system called test and to the smbpassdw, added a second user test2 and added him to the user test group... made the home folder of test only readable and writable by owner and group members [10:51] but i cant get that to work via swat... it doesn't ask for any authentication in the windows machines [10:51] anyone have any ideas? [10:51] hi [10:52] I need to use Windows XP/Vista for a school project. Can I install this as a virtual machine in Ubuntu? I would hate to install Windows instead of Ubuntu. [10:52] Is there a problem with ubuntu reps now? [10:52] tdn: yes you can [10:52] cant seem to update properly.. [10:52] Bodsda, how? VirtualBox? [10:52] tdn: yes you can - altough it won't perform very good... [10:53] tdn: yeah virtualbox, and it can run well as long as you give it enough virtual hardware [10:53] tdn, consider using WINE if its only a application you need and not the whole OS. [10:53] MuH4hA, I have tried XP in VMware once. If it can perform about the same as that, that will be fine. However, if it is as slow as Qemu, it is probably not feasible. [10:53] tdn: this is of course assuming your Processor can handle virtualzation well ;) [10:53] deany, I need the whole OS. === MartyMacFly is now known as Guest51584 [10:53] gartral, Core 2 Duo. [10:54] tdn, what is your schoolproject? [10:54] tdn: I run a vmachine with XP, and it runs flawlessly, infact it is probably quicker to boot then my normal XP install [10:54] norpan111: can you click the Details arrow. maybe its waiting for some response from you like license agreement. thats happened to me before [10:54] legend2440, i see no details =/ its just stuck [10:54] tdn: hmm - it should work as good as VMware. I was just pointing out, that it won't allow you to play 3d games and stuff like that [10:54] legend2440, when i do an "check" it says "failure" on language packs.. [10:54] norpan111, computer science: mobile tech. I need to use some special SDK from Ericsson that does not run in WINE. I have already tried. [10:55] MuH4hA, don't need that :) [10:55] sdf [10:55] sdf [10:55] sdf [10:55] portaezi4: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:55] tdn, oh ok [10:55] printscreen doesn't work when i have my applications menu open but does otherwise, how can i remedy this? [10:56] Is there an official HOWTO on installing XP with VirtualBox? [10:56] Is VirtualBox completely FLOSS? Or is it kinda like VMware, where some of it is proprietary? And does it need a special kernel? [10:57] tdn: It has two versions (the open-source one doesn't support USB, for example). No, it doesn't need a special kernel. [10:57] tdn: its open source, or at least the vbox-ose edition is [10:57] grawity, ok. Other features that it does not support? [10:58] tdn: you can join #vbox for free support there [10:58] guys how i make my HP laptop wlan card enabled on ubuntu hardy [10:58] tdn: but the closed source one is in the repo as well i believe, you may hve to enable the optional repositories though. [10:58] which package it needs [10:58] tdn: http://virtualbox.org/wiki/Editions [10:58] Bodsda, ok. Do you know a tutorial on setting this up? I have found a few on Google, but none seems official. [10:58] !virtualizer [10:58] There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications [10:59] !BirtualBox | grawity [10:59] Sorry, I don't know anything about BirtualBox [10:59] SultansElephant: I know what is VirtualBox, thanks. [10:59] !VirtualBox | grawity [10:59] grawity: virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from !Gutsy as 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [10:59] tdn: its amazingly straight forward, just hit the new virtual machine button then follow the on screen instructions, or ask in #vbox [10:59] thar we go [10:59] !KVM [10:59] kvm is the preferred virtualization approach in Ubuntu. For more information see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM [10:59] Bodsda, ok. Thanks. [11:00] your welcome [11:00] I use virtualbox "non ose" with USB and it runs great. uses a little resources than vmware imo, and is nicer with compiling guest additions than vmware.. The times vmware stopped being able to compile newer into newer kernels without some sort of patching..... [11:00] Hmm.. Do you recommend KVM over virtualbox? [11:00] tdn: vbox [11:00] tdn, do you have virtual technology in your cpu? [11:00] vmware [11:01] haha [11:01] tdn: ask bestbot [11:01] !best [11:01] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [11:01] bestbot is in #ubuntu-bots [11:01] !bots [11:01] Hi!

[11:04] laeg, run the program it invokes, and set a delay [11:05] dude_, is it easy to install XP in it? And easy to use? [11:05] deany : which lapyop do u hv?

During the recent days I have had problems with 9.04 Jaunty on my VIA-based HP Mini Note 2133. So I am installing 8.10 since there are binary drivers for this. I have used Jauntys in-built support to make a bootable 8.10 distribution of Linux. My problem is - once I go into the live CD - the graphics gets buggy - I can see nothing. What can I do? [12:46] how do I share folders from ubuntu to ubuntu through local network?? [12:46] lianimator: nfs [12:46] or samba [12:47] or sshfs [12:47] I tried samba. the client gets an error "unable to mount" [12:47] lianimator: Right click on a folder and choose "Sharing Options" :P [12:47] tgblb: of course I did that already.. [12:47] I could access my own, but others cannot [12:47] I set file permissions to 777 already [12:48] ironic that we use samba on linux... [12:48] i personally use sshfs :) so great [12:48] lianimator: YOu shouldn't have needed to do that. [12:48] usr13: just trying.. didn't work though [12:48] lianimator: nfs may be easier for you. [12:48] does the client need to install it as well? sambe or nfs? [12:48] KlingaN: Have you tried the GNATS or fglrx or synaptics : your video thing here? [12:49] !nfs | lianimator [12:49] lianimator: nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. [12:50] Is there some software similar to turbo c++ in linux or some debugger to perform tracing and all? [12:50] !samba | lianimator [12:50] lianimator: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [12:50] KlingaN: It could also be a .xorg config thing, just make sure that the hardware is supported on that kernel. [12:50] vigo: I am not sure what that is. However - I've tried combinations of "Live CD", "Install directly", "Safe graphics mode", pressed F6 and written "live xforcevesa" after the -- [12:51] nfs seems more complex. [12:51] lianimator: smb.conf file may just need a little tweak [12:51] SLM [12:51] HELLO [12:51] lianimator: nfs is easier [12:51] vigo: There are discussions on installing on www.hp2133guide.com - they're talking about installing a previous version of BIOS - I'm not sure that's necessary though === dx_man is now known as dx_man_cn === dx_man_cn is now known as dx_man [12:52] KlingaN: Ok, look at the Forums, that is the best I can figure out now, this is a bit of a learning curve, but at least we are free to learn, again.

[12:52] The interface of Ubuntu Netbook Edition on my Acer One performed badly, taking a couple of seconds to load a menu thingy after clicking. [12:52] so basically in a nutshell, what packages do i need installed for OPERA to show QT menus ? [12:52] lianimator: nfs is certainly no harder than samba. They will both work for you if you set it up right. nfs is simplier in that it has a lot less options to deal with. [12:53] how can codeblocks open projects in existing codeblocks instance in new tab with double click on project file, not in another instance [12:53] lianimator: But if you started out with samba, you probably need to just finish setting it up right.

[15:34] bandolex: you need to configure it as a client or a server ? i mean if you want to just develop a client will be fine [15:34] Does ubuntu have usb power saving lark? [15:34] by default [15:34] pronoy and where do I get gparted? [15:34] ToStItOs: sudo apt-get install gparted [15:34] ToStItOs: its inthe repos. [15:35] ToStItOs: are you using jaunty ? its preinstalled on jaunty rest: do what sirjoebob says :) [15:35] pronoy no interprid [15:35] If I update 8.10 -> 9.04 via Update Manager, how disruptive is it? I've only done upgrades in the past by installing to new partitions, and copying stuff over, then eventually deleting the old. [15:36] ToStItOs: sudo apt-get install gparted [15:36] it`s a big risk [15:36] Dazzler: did that take care of it for you? [15:36] Does ubuntu have USB power saving lark by default? [15:36] jimmy_birer, was that for me? [15:36] anyone know how to remove ALL gnome-panels in Jaunty. I did it on another release but can't find howto for jaunty [15:36] hi, is there a special channel for ubuntu automatic installs with preseed? [15:36] if you have intel gpu,you must NOT upgrade [15:36] ToStItOs: and run it using sudo gparted but be careful with it.. [15:36] ok [15:36] who has problems at moving panels at 9.04? [15:36] jimmy_birer, I have nvidia on this one. [15:36] motoh: how are you coming along? [15:36] pronoy what do you mean by that? [15:36] ericdb:so you safe [15:37] to upgrade [15:37] how i convert .WMV videos into .DIVX videos? [15:37] anewbis: All set. I found a bug report that had a module fix for one of my modules that cleaned it right up. [15:37] ToStItOs: the command or being safe ? [15:37] are there noticeable differences betw desktop and server, i mean in usability? [15:37] aptmirror: is that a server setup, then maybe #ubuntu-server, otherwise here is fine for starters [15:37] anewbis: Now I'm tinkering with my microphone, webcam and SD ontroller. [15:37] motoh: Cool. [15:37] pronoy you said to be careful [15:37] here is fine fr desktop users [15:37] taxman: thx. [15:38] ToStItOs: messing around with the filesystem can lead to data crash....of course messing around requires knowledge [15:38] hey folks, how i convert .WMV videos into .DIVX videos??? [15:38] bandolex: i am guessing the server is command line [15:38] yeah [15:38] or X with jwm [15:38] i think that X is fine [15:39] for servers [15:39] pronoy well let me tell you what I am plan on doing: I bought a refurbished computer online with no Operating System so instead of installing Ubuntu all over I want to use this drive I have on the other computer [15:39] pronoy: oh, i dont want to start with commend line, ok i will start with desktop 8, thanks very much to all you.

[15:44] What is a good way to test if my webcam/mic is even working? x.x [15:45] ToStItOs: there's beta support for IE7, but look at ies4linux instead of installing it directly through wine [15:45] ToStItOs: no offense in any way but why IE ?? you have the best explorers opensource and free !!!

[15:48] yes [15:48] pronoy but IE has something called active x controls so I am trying to find a web browser with the same features so my bill paying sites don't freak out [15:48] ToStItOs: no !! active x isn't the right thing ...you're better off without them [15:48] there is IE4linux [15:48] pronoy: what program do you mean on windows? [15:48] ok [15:48] ToStItOs, activeX is supported only on Windows. you might have some success with wine but most likely you will need to use a VM with windows on it to use those sites [15:48] google IE4Linux [15:49] is internet exploler for linx [15:49] ToStItOs: you have politely complained to your bank, no? 23% marketshare is a lot to ignore [15:49] chau [15:49] me voy [15:49] how much is linux`s market share now? [15:49] Um_cara_qualquer: there are converters which work on windows...if you know any and have any you can use them with wine...check the appdb first for the supported applications though [15:49] how much is linux`s market share now? [15:49] how do i add new email addresses using courier and squirrelmail? [15:50] pronoy: such as? [15:50] jimmy_birer: on supercomputers, pretty much 99% :D [15:50] :D [15:50] so my pc is a SUPERCOMPUTER [15:50] jimmy_birer: linux market share ? you mean ration right ? well i guess about 98 percent [15:50] I am trying to find a web browser that will work with these sites where I pay my bills [15:50] Um_cara_qualquer: xillisoft converter and stuff [15:50] Hi there [15:50] Um_cara_qualquer: just google it [15:50] it's got it in its blood! [15:50] hmm ok [15:50] thx [15:50] you can install window on VirtualBox [15:51] jimmy_birer: estimates vary, but most are around 1% for the desktop. Servers it's quite large obviously [15:51] ToStitOs: what actually happens when you use firefox on the sites? [15:51] they require activex?such idiots [15:51] jimmy_birer: everything related to security is based on unix....even GSM algorithms [15:51] I bought a new computer and i'm using my old hdd on which ubuntu is installed in my new computer [15:51] I get those lines [17180060.488000] ata1: translated ATA stat/err 0x51/40 to SCSI SK/ASC/ASCQ 0x3/11/04 [15:52] Anyone knows what that means ? [15:52] jimmy_birer, why does reactos suck? and, why did you feel the need to say it in #winehq? -_- [15:52] If I do the Update Manager upgrade from 8.10 to 9.04, and it yaks, is there a way to "back out"?

[15:53] no [15:53] So i should let him repare it ? [15:53] SnakeFast: your new computer is having an issue with your old hard drive. [15:53] jimmy_birer, then come and discuss it intelligently in #winehq-social. sorry #ubuntu -_- [15:53] Hi all! Anybody else besides me experiencing X.org random freezes that seem to require flipping the power button to "off"? [15:53] ericdb: not easily, as far as I know, unfortunately [15:54] nogagplz:go get some sleep. [15:54] IcemanV9> Yes i understand that, i just don't know if i should let him keep translating [15:54] gitte: Test your memory. [15:54] pf..so do you need help or? [15:54] usr13: nope, that's okay. [15:54] whats the command to open compiz icon? [15:54] gitte: 9.04? intel graphics? [15:55] gitte: O [15:55] arand, thanks, that's good to know. I'm trying to judge how risky it is. I guess summer is the time to do it anyway, before classes start back up. I'm just kind of scared of it. [15:55] pronoy 'scratching my head" I don't know what I'll do to pay my bills I'll try and see if Opera will work other than that I am clueless [15:55] Tcl-Tk [15:55] perl [15:55] ruby [15:55] irc [15:55] jimmy_birer: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [15:55] c++ [15:56] ajax [15:56] SnakeFast: can you just transfer some files from old hard drive in another computer to your new one? [15:56] hi, any one know of a good text expansion/replacement program for ubuntu (not autokey which is broken in jaunty)? [15:56] arand: this happens on two different computers, both have ATI graphics. [15:56] IcemanV9> I'll try that, thanks :) [15:56] ericdb: You could always make a new partition, or install it to a usb drive ( >6GB) [15:56] asp.net [15:56] mono# [15:56] gitte, fglrx? [15:56] jimmy_birer: stop [15:56] cyban: go to edit the menu options and check the property of the compiz-fusion-icon there the command is written [15:56] c# [15:57] cyban: I think so. [15:57] sup you all. [15:57] zeltak: text expansion/replacement? something like sed? [15:57] arand, yeah, that's what I've done in the past. I was hoping that maybe the upgrade (rather than new install) might be easier, rather than reinstalling and re-tweaking all my stuff. [15:57] pronoy, in compiz? [15:57] pronoy there's a site I go to and check my direct deposit and the site only works with IE [15:57] i'm having trouble installing cairo-dock plugins, can someone help? [15:57] ericdb: Hang on, what you should do is backup the install, partimage or similar. [15:58] how do i add new email addresses using courier and squirrelmail? [15:58] ToStItOs: i don't think paying the bills requires activex because there are linux users who have never touched windows and still pay the bills......either that or they are very good at cheating the IRS [15:58] cyban: no just edit your menu and check the property of the particular entry [15:58] I setup samba shares on my main server with ubuntu 9.04 and I can access them from my windows PC, but I can't access them from my laptop with ubuntu 9.04 and I know I have setup all the right permission and so fourth, so what am I doing wrong? [15:59] ToStItOs: I've done online banking with 3 different banks now with no problmes. [15:59] ToStItOs: You way want to try askin in #winehq about getting IE to work under Wine [15:59] i dont know about sed? i mean like a program you would type ex and it would expand it to extra something... [15:59] cyban: are there known issues with the fglrx driver? [15:59] neodragon, go to the terminal, type 'gksudo nautilus' then enable the sharing from the new window [15:59] cyban: I ask because these freezes only happened after upgrading to 9.04. [15:59] neodragon: can you access the server at all? [15:59] Pici: :D easiest and the best answer yet ....lol [15:59] having trouble installing perl module w/ cpan http://pastebin.com/f3241feef [15:59] Because I've had that problem before [15:59] ToStItOs: I had one that says it needs IE but FF access works anyway. [15:59] arand, I didn't know about partimage...that looks great, thanks. [16:00] gitte, I was just asking if it was installed [16:00] pronoy hmmm well let me ask you this if there is way to use a site that only works with Ie [16:00] cyban: FWIW the issues happen on my EeePC, too. [16:00] asked #cpan .. they suggest to talk to ubuntu since i am running ubuntu [16:00] cyban: yes, lsmod shows that fglrx is loaded. [16:00] ecolitan: I can see the shares from my ubuntu laptop, but I can not mount them [16:00] ToStItOs: 1. the site that can be accessed using IE can be accessed using other browsers, 2. if IE is that important install it using wine [16:00] gitte, thats about the extent of my knowladge on ati issues [16:01] where does it crash? [16:01] cyban gitte: do you have the latest drivers ? [16:01] neodragon: does it ask for a username and password in the gui or are you mounting them in the cli? [16:01] pronoy: I thought so... let me check (I always update as soon as the updater finds something new) [16:01] ... [16:01] sudo apt-get fglrx I think gitte, then update/upgrade perhaps [16:01] gitte: otherwise install envy [16:01] ecolitan: It does not ask for a password in the gui [16:01] ToStItOs: You can also install IE under wine. [16:01] usr 13 you're probably right because I think i accessed my direct deposit with firefox [16:01] !envy | gitte [16:01] gitte: EnvyNG is a program to install newer version of nVidia or ATi drivers, it can be found in !Universe as "envyng-gtk" (for Gtk/Gnome) or "envyng-qt" (for Qt/KDE). It is NOT a supported method to install video drivers; please only use it if standard methods fail and at your own risk - See also !BinaryDriver [16:02] ecolitan: it just pops up a message that says it is unable to mount that drive. [16:02] Here's a weird question: Every time I do a new install, I tell myself that every little tweak I do to the power management scripts, sources list, fstab, /etc/modules, and what not, that I'll keep them in a log, so that when I install fresh again, I'll know what all I had to do to get things working last time. But I always forget. Is there some tool to help with this kind of thing, or should I just try to be less lazy? [16:03] usr13 I'll give it a shot [16:03] ericdb: you can backup the individual logs of all the things that you edit [16:03] cyban: it does not find a package called "fglrx" ;-) [16:03] ericdb: apart from that i think you'll need an AI machine which records your every move... [16:03] pronoy, if you ment to create a launcher it says command not found, but if I try and install compiz-fusion-icon it just says invalid operation [16:03] thanks for all help from everyone I was probably annoying [16:03] i have a bug... i was thinking of filing a bug report, i saw this page ( https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/Freeze ) where it's suggested to test with this package ( https://edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-freeze-test/ ) and 2.6.30 kernel... can somebody suggest me what's the better and painless way of installing the new kernel? i wouldn't want to switch the /vmlinuz symlink to the new kerne [16:04] pronoy: installing envyng now. [16:04] but as you all can see I am still a newbie [16:04] cyban: ok go to the menu and right click it ..edit the menu [16:04] to linux [16:04] ToStItOs: This user agent switcher might be of interest: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/59 [16:04] pronoy, yes [16:04] cyban: then go to the compiz-icon and right click on that and see its properties [16:04] anybody? [16:05] oh it hid it, ok ill go look in a sec [16:05] gitte, apt-get install fglrx-driver fglrx-kernel-src [16:05] Hi everybody! Could somebody help me figure out why I can't use Skype with PulseAudio on Jaunty 64bit (Dell Inspiron 1525)? [16:05] neodragon: are you just browsing in nautilus to smb://servername for example? === rasta is now known as loner__ [16:05] ecolitan: yes, is there a more correct way to do it [16:06] Thanks Pici pronoy usr13 Dr Willis [16:06] cyban: sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx says that I already have the newest version. [16:06] ToStItOs: There is winehq: http://www.winehq.org/download/deb [16:06] ToStItOs: goodl luck [16:07] gitte, when it crashes does it say anything about xorg.conf? [16:07] HELLO [16:07] thanks pronoy I'll need it [16:07] !hi | SAMER [16:07] SAMER: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [16:07] cyban: it does not say anything. I can ssh into the machine, but I cannot switch to a text console with Ctrl-Alt-F1, or with chvt for that matter. [16:07] neodragon: no that should work, so then you see the shares but cant click into them [16:07] I WANT BUNDLUXE C270 CONNECT TO UBUNTU 9.04 [16:08] SAMER: please no caps [16:08] usr13 I'lll look into that too [16:08] hi pronoy [16:08] ecolitan: that is correct.

[16:09] no i want the full way [16:09] pronoy: I have upgraded two computers to 9.04, and installed the netbook remix on my EeePC. All three computers seem to have ATI graphics adapters. Since I need 3D acceleration, I said that I want the proprietary drivers. [16:09] cyban: got it ? [16:09] SAMER: You mean bandluxe c270 ? [16:10] yes [16:10] pronoy, gitte is getting fglrx issues, or video card crashes in upgrade [16:10] pronoy: now, from time to time (seems to be exactly when I need the computer most), X freezes. [16:10] Hey all, I am looking for a very cheap laptop with Ubuntu on it. I don't have a lot of money (one could say I am broke) and my laptop just became a paperweight... [16:10] pronoy, ya thanks, now I can add it to startup [16:10] couldnt find the command to start it so I could auto start [16:10] pronoy: by "freeze" I mean that the mouse still works, but nothing else, including the keyboard. [16:10] now I just need to see if I can figure out why compiz works but emerald dont, I think its my g-card drivers tho [16:10] pronoy: also all programs seem to stop (the clock does not advance). [16:11] hello [16:11] gitte: did you install envy and update to the latest drivers.. ?

[16:11] hey i've got a problem with my network , everytime i try to open the network an error appears and no window shows up [16:11] someone that wants to speak in spanish [16:11] pronoy: I installed envy, and it was so fast downloading the drivers, and did not even ask me for admin password that I am quite sure it thinks I have the newest version already. [16:11] armence: I'd guess looking thorugh https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam and trying to find a compatible one second-hand would fit the very-cheap & working bill.

Jinja is just a template engine. [16:16] I can also ping every pc on my LAN I just can't see the network [16:16] oc999: Oh, well, that's not a network connection, it's a samba share, Right? [16:16] oy the drivers are really buggy [16:16] for wifi [16:17] yes , I'm trying to see workgroups/shared folders of other pcs using winXP [16:17] oc999: If you can ping all the PCs on your LAN, you more than likely do not have a network problem. [16:17] ecolitan: I did setup a smbuser account in Users and Groups, but I did not do it with the smbpasswd, I just did that and guess what I can now access all my shares through nautilus, eurika!!!!

[16:19] I believe its not a samba problem .. since I shared files and WinXP pcs can access them.. it's nautilus making my problems - I'm also expieriencing problems with ftp [16:19] whats up [16:19] pronoy: the remove command doesn't do it. But thanks. [16:19] when I type ftp:// or smb:// in nautilus [16:19] gmachine_24: remove removes the package, purge also removes the saved configurations (noramlly) [16:19] it won't handle it like an ftp-connection [16:19] is halitech om [16:20] arand: gotcha [16:20] so, any suggestions on my wifi issue?

[17:25] helmethedd, there is a built in firewall, however traffic shaping is not installed by default. So no it would not slow you down [17:26] usr13: slower than molasses?

I'm looking for what the options passed to fakeroot would have been to build it, so I can pass identical options [17:58] Ahlee, no it only shows what is in the archive. This is a deb it typicaly contains a descrition, some install scripts and files [17:58] I need some help. I've a bad feeling that I should have done my homework a little better, but I've read all the relevant guides I could find, and they just ignore the problem somehow. [17:58] Thing is, I've been trying to do a minimal install on MSi Wind U100 from a 9.04 alternate iso unetbootin'd onto a usb memory stick, and there's no obvious way to use installation packages from the stick (even if I manage to mount it, which doesn't work every time), nor is there a way to configure network. 9.04 supposedly includes drivers for Realtek rtl8187Se wireless adapter, but I can't find a way to load them. [17:59] Ahlee, what you probbly want is a file in the deb called control.tar.gz [17:59] mdm: Correct. So there is no metadata or similar that includes how to go about 'rebuilding' the deb, short of having the src deb? [17:59] mobi-sheep: it says " File>Change device" but i don't have File. i only have Applications, Places and System [17:59] I'd appreciate any advice.

[18:02] mdm: while i see postinst, postrm, prerm, conffiles, and control after extracting the fiels, I don't see where the compilation options would be defined [18:02] or maybe it was installing the mp3 part of rythmbox 0 anyway - how do i recover sound [18:02] control includes the dependencies sure, but it doesn't show for example what defines where to store the conf files, etc [18:03] qbrix, sure it is. how are you going to manage your windows without a window manager? when people talk about lightweight X session, they usually mean that they aren't running heave desktop environment. [18:03] Ahlee, take any deb you want, run ar x out will come a version file, control.tar.gz and data.tar.gz. version genreally is jsut a text string, very small. control had pre/post conf files and anything needed to install the deb. And data has al the files and directories. That is a deb at a very high level [18:03] qbrix, what are you trying to do, anyway? [18:03] qbrix, there's always just X. [18:03] hey [18:03] or xinit [18:03] yesterday i had record on line-in and playback - today zero [18:04] mdm: correct. So there is no way to take a .deb and find how it was built, i.e. with jsut the .deb you can't grab the vanilla source and rebuild it [18:04] or mv .xsession .xsession.old && startx [18:04] I'm trying out some skype stuff and apparently the SDK requires the skype app to be open [18:04] command to get only unique output in terminal?

[18:04] is there a gnome panel applet which monitors cpu , memory and temperatures something like cpu frequency scaling monitor applet's style ? [18:05] mdm: make, I want to upgrade this software but no newer .deb exists, so I want to ensure all paths are identical [18:05] Ahlee: why not download the source and make your own .deb? [18:05] ulb: which is what I'm trying to do, while conforming to debian's standards [18:05] I'll try that [18:05] qbrix, I don't see how X would get in the way, given that there always are terminal emulators on the inside of it, and virtual consoles [ctrl+alt+f1-7] outside. [18:06] i'm looking for the lazy way of recreating this .deb with newer source [18:06] Ahlee, you can use checkinstall. But you better know how to use make macros and edit the source if they do silly things with the makefile [18:06] nnookk: how can I close gnome completly and just get back to a console? [18:06] mdm: which is what I'm trying to avoid [18:06] guys im trying to compile a program i did a ./configure know im not sure what to do next [18:06] Brando753: Try make [18:06] Ahlee, also keep in ming checkinstall tends to do things like incluide ccache temp files if you dont clean up after the install [18:07] ok, good to know [18:07] Folko: just type in make? [18:07] Brando753: yes [18:07] Brando753: Yeah [18:07] qbrix, you should kill gnome-session and prevent login manager from ressurecting it. you can start by switching away from the seventh virtual console where X lives. [18:07] just press ctrl+alt+f2 [18:09] hmm, I don't see gnome-session [18:09] here is the result of the make http://pastebin.com/d5c02f7e9 it failed [18:09] i see x-session-manag [18:09] and a bunch of gnome processes [18:10] So if I have configured a vpn with NetworkManager or whatever that applet is called...is there a way to kick off a connection with the command line? [18:10] Brando753: pastebin the output of ./configure [18:10] Hey, I'm trying to set the default editors for Opera and I'm trying to get Thunderbird set as my default, how do I find it to add it? [18:10] gnome-session is a sub of GDM [18:10] qbrix, google linux boot sequence. it ends with running login manager, which keeps X up. [18:10] aha kiled it [18:10] just wondering if a I can run ubuntu on a portable hard drive? [18:10] what file do I edit to set which runlevel it boots with? [18:10] nnookk, boot sequence ends with initrd passing control to the os [18:10] qbrix: /etc/event.d/rc-default [18:11] strat89: yes you can run ubuntu on cdrom,usb,portable hd etc you just have to set the boot devices in BIOS [18:11] hi need help with sound - amarok broke it (i think) [18:11] thanks [18:12] here is the pastebin of the ./configure http://pastebin.com/d148e6047 [18:12] nnookk, starting everything there after is a process of init, and run by run control. It does not have to stop at any spefific run level, or even X. I have ubu boxes that dont even have video cards in them [18:12] does anybody know how to disable the onboard graphics card for an emachine from 2006? [18:12] Brando753: it failed [18:12] Brando753: it couldn't find openrm [18:12] hi, is possible to use 3icons,pdf,print,email use not inside component ? i want to place it into template, but cant compose valid links, any advice ?? [18:12] ulb thanx :) just d/l the regular version of ubuntu or a alternat version? [18:13] mdm, you are right of course, I was assuming specific configuration and simplifying somewhat. [18:13] regular is you want gnome desktop, kubutnu if you want KDE, server if you want console (and no x-windows) [18:13] Hi guys. What are the filesystem options in ubuntu server? [18:13] *if [18:13] Care to help me with the installation? [18:13] I don't know what version is installed, it's a 2.6.24 kernel though [18:14] where are font files stored ? I have the calibri font but I can't find it in /usr/share/fonts [18:14] I'm asking because I have a 6TB array which regularly uses over 32000 subdirectories, so ext3 is a poor choice at best [18:14] orifice_work, find / -name colibri [18:14] talcite_, what is stored on it? [18:14] orifice_work: or locate -i calibri [18:15] mdm, files in RDF format [18:15] better yet, find / -name colibri &2>/dev/null to get rid of the error messages [18:15] mdm, essentially xml files, but billions of them [18:15] Folko: ah thank you. [18:15] locate would only work if the database is recent. [18:15] sorry i posted the wrong ./configure this is the right one http://pastebin.com/d2b176759 [18:15] I just don't remember which filesystems are available in 2.6.24 [18:15] which it often isn't [18:16] nnookk: Need to use sudo or get lots of "cant access"... [18:16] nnookk: True, but I always try locate before a find that will take 10 minutes :) [18:16] talcite_, you basicly have little choice. Lots of small IS is the worst thing you can do to a filesystem. That beind said look into xfs, altho unlink ext it does require maintinance [18:16] usr13, that's why you should redirect stderr to /dev/null [18:16] lstarnes: this is the correct ./configure http://pastebin.com/d2b176759 [18:16] or somewhere away from the terminal [18:17] mdm, I see. I'll give XFS a read-over [18:17] talcite_, my second choice would be ext4, but I personnly am shy of it still [18:17] im trying to install the nvidia 185.18.14 driver for my nvidia 8400gm (mobile), but everytime i reboot, it wants to run in low-graphics mode, and it says it cannot find any screens, any suggestions? it's an ASUS F9S laptop [18:17] Guys, it's embarassing, but I'm getting stuck at network config when installing from 9.04 alternate. I can't choose proper interface. [18:17] I mistakenly went into Applications =>> Edit Menus =>> and clicked on revert. Now every entry but Accessories in Applications =>> Wine ==>> Programs is prefixed with wine-Programs- and uninstalling and re-installing wine didn't fix the problem. How can I? http://i44.tinypic.com/aoxpnt.jpg - i've tried right click each dir in the menu and right clicking it to rename but i don't get a drop down menu when i do this. also when i hilight a dir in edit menus and s [18:17] talcite_, but small random io is about the worst thing you can do to a fs [18:17] mdm, I didn't think ext4 was available in 2.6.24 [18:18] ? [18:18] talcite_, hence the reason I suggested xfs first :) [18:18] nnookk: eth0 if you use wiredinternet wlan0 if you use wifi [18:18] ? [18:18] (generally) [18:18] ulb, how do I tell netcfg to do that? [18:18] any ideas on how to solve my problem? [18:18] netcfg choose_interface select wlan0 gets me nowhere [18:18] ifconfig [18:19] i need a hand disabling IPv6 plz. i've got the aliases page up already to go [18:19] ulb there's no ifconfig in busybox.

[18:20] ulb, thanks anyway. [18:20] hi all - I could really use some help getting my printer to work. It's a parallel HP Laserjet 4, very old and my laptop only has USB so i'm using a USB->Parallel cable. Initially the printer was not detected, but a few forum reads allowed me to find the device URI and setup a print queue. One of the four drivers for it seems like it should be working, it takes a short while to send the document to print as a percentage [18:20] meter climbs - but nothing comes out of the printer. [18:20] Ubottu...been there, done that [18:20] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [18:21] mdm can i shoot ya a copy of what i see in the modprobe? if so, can ya tell me how to do that in irc plz [18:21] !bot | maria_ [18:21] maria_: Hi!

Then again so should ext, which is why it suggests tunefs on creation [18:22] mdm: i found some intructions on the interweb for this issue, but it seems the changes had already been made somehow, but, there's an extra net-pf-10 line i can't account for [18:22] If i've got 9.04 with a dual head nVidia 8600GT running dual monitors [18:22] mdm, I see...

[19:10] zopiac, if you cant change your bios the closest you can get is to use grub to do so [19:10] nizar, cryptsetup - configures encrypted block devices [19:11] mdm: i do not have a grub, this computer has WinXP on it (which is why i am using a USB drive to install linux) [19:11] nizar: in terminal type sudo update-java-alternatives -l [19:12] zopiac, then get your bios to boot from usb first, sometimes you can use bootloader option of the bios. [19:12] Is there a quick way to add a user and at the same time make that user an admin with sudo rights? [19:12] mdm: why do u have to use usb device? [19:12] uhh.. I installed Ubuntu 9.04 and now when i try to boot for the first time from the hard disk, it just tells to insert a proper boot media and press any key or reboot etc.. whats wrong? [19:12] companion_, I dont , zopiac was asking about it [19:13] mdm: it does try to boot from USB first, it just doesnt boot from USB unless i dont have IDE drives enabled [19:13] zopiac, it dosnt have a CD in it to boot from?

If you want to do it for a speficic host lock it by mac address [19:32] Joe_CoT: you can set smoe things as static, the rest will be set via dhcp [19:32] mdm : so it doesn't specifically request what it wants. So if I used dhcpdump, and didn't see the option I wanted in the response, it's not set up right? [19:32] does anyone have prebuilt linux-debug packages for jaunty (2.6.28)?

[20:20] Dave__: Er, can you stop doing that? [20:20] sebsebseb, well it was fixed pretty quickly.. by pidgin devs at least....joe public wont know how to get the "fixed" version tho, sadly. [20:20] ok elaborate [20:20] best case on a hidden ssid, you still need to put in the ssid in the wireless settings. [20:20] Is there any solution for x1400 ATi cards in Jaunty? The open source driver isn't really cutting it... [20:21] deany: indeed, which is why it would be nice for them to do bugfix releases from the repo, of the main/core programs, as you said [20:21] Highlight [20:21] commander_: you just don't need a password and it should connect. This is saying there is no security or encryption. [20:21] I can't find my automounted mp3 player in /media, it only lists a cdrom?? [20:22] ok i have Kubuntu so do i log out or switch users [20:22] dethray, type in "mount" on a konsole to see were it is mounted. [20:22] Well, at least pidgin, as it seems evident its becoming common to need to update it [20:23] hi! can anyone tell me why dvd disk contents copying to hdd very slow in Ubuntu (rate about 2 megs per second). Is there any chance to make the process a little bit faster? thnx [20:23] commander_: totally unrelated. it's in your settings for wireless card/software. [20:23] "assign" someone the job of maintaining it... [20:24] hi, i upgraded to ubuntu 8.10 and my web speeds are super slow today. i called my isp, they report no problems. i've googled the issue only to come up with ipv6 as the supposed culprit, it turns out that ipv6 is turned off by default on my system, so it can't be the problem. i'm open to suggestions. it seems lotsa folks have the same problem, but, all the articles i've found point to ipv6 [20:24] !test [20:24] sigh... again? I'm busy here, I already told you it failed. [20:24] nbkr, thanx, found it... :) [20:24] so within ubuntu I have the desktop wall, I want to know how to zoom out to see all the workspaces? hotkey?

[20:26] helmethedd: ok well i'm not really sure. sometimes the intenet is just slow depends on your internet providers bandwidth and stuff [20:27] ethan_ : the problem manifested over night [20:28] hello all! [20:28] ethan_ somebuddy suggested a network sniffer, i don't even know what one is, but is that something i should try?

[20:30] I cannot copy a directory to another.. it keep saying "omitting directory" [20:31] helmethedd: It's great for network troubleshooting, but it's a specialized skill set. [20:31] maveas: use -r or -a for recursive copying [20:31] Oh [20:31] So it's because I'm trying to copy a directory out of the directory root? [20:31] cp dir ../source? [20:32] should be cp -r dir ../source? [20:32] What's the expected throughput range for NFS3 or NSF4 on a gigabit network? Give me some rough numbers please? [20:32] maveas: cp -r from to [20:32] sladen: you're my man.. thanks :) [20:33] hmmm where to get XP with SP1 .iso for testing purposes??? [20:33] n0gear: From a store.

[20:40] helmethedd: before or after splash screen [20:40] danbhfive: thanks i'll try that suggestion [20:40] I'm missing Verdena font :/ [20:40] Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD [20:41] ! tor | Promille [20:41] Promille, please see my private message [20:41] helmethedd: Sys > Prefs > Appearence > Visual affects to be more exact [20:41] danbhfive: special effects were already turned off [20:41] How do I query the new version of the packege which can be upgraded on the command line?

Its been around for at least the last few releases [20:45] Stanley_: are you directly in the folder your zipping? [20:46] danbhfive, is the purpose for adding PPAs in there? is there any difference to putting a file in there as opposed to appending to source.list? [20:46] so galbadore or danbhfive any other suggestions? [20:46] helmet looking... [20:46] thanks bud [20:47] Galbadore: I'm in my root directory, so the home folder is one beneath me [20:47] Stanley_: What's your sintax? [20:47] Hello! How can I uninstall themes that were installed by dragging them to the Appearance Preferences windows, as described here? Where are these files copied? http://code.google.com/p/gnome-colors/wiki/Instructions [20:47] Stanley_: Can't spell today. syntax... [20:47] peeps[work]: I've seen it used more for just external repos (which I guess includes ppas), like medibuntu and wine [20:47] Galbadore: gzip -r home [20:48] hello,complete linux noob here [20:48] helmethedd: sorry, I've no idea [20:48] Stanley_: yeah that won't work [20:48] i have a tech question [20:48] Galbadore: fair enough... What do I need? [20:48] am i in the right place [20:48] !ask|jonny_b [20:48] jonny_b: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [20:48] helmethedd: Not sure also off the top of my head. [20:49] Halabund, ~/.themes [20:49] ok well thanks for trying guys [20:49] how can I install Eclipse Galileo on ubuntu [20:49] Halabund, or, just goto appearances and "remove" [20:49] have a groovy day everyone [20:49] ok,well i just installed ubuntu on a dual boot and with ubuntu running i cant lower the volum...its at full all the time === programmer is now known as Djokera [20:50] Hi there, anybody know when will moblin supprt GMA 500 chipset? [20:50] johnny_b: where are you trying to adjust the volume levels? [20:50] yes [20:50] deany: Thanks! [20:50] johnny_b: and do you have a soundcard or are you using onboard? [20:51] on board [20:51] on laptop [20:51] b0red: what version is that? === tag_ is now known as tag [20:51] danbhfive, 3.5 [20:52] What partition should i make for Ubuntu? [20:52] b0red: well, I suspect that the best way is to follow the directions for ganymede that I followed awhile back [20:52] stan ive tried cahngin sound device options and same thing [20:52] ext 3? ??? is te best fr Ubuntu 9.04 ?? [20:53] the keymaps that you can find under the menu option called "Keyboard", i want to edit one of them, where are they found [20:53] ? [20:53] danbhfive, so I can't get it through apt-get [20:53] danbhfive, where are these directions jotted down? [20:53] that fil format should I partition a drive for Ubutnu [20:53] file* [20:53] stanley,cant even lower volume on youtube players [20:54] b0red: probably not. Its a java package, and I've heard that debian/ubuntu isn't the best with java stuff. Its pretty simple. One sec while I pull up the page [20:54] danbhfive, alright. Thanks [20:54] does anybody know where i can find an easy to understand guide to setting up intel 965 graphics drivers on jaunty? [20:54] johnny_b: If you click on the speaker by the clock to adjust the volume, you can click preferances and opt it to show more volume tabs, add some that sound like they have to do with audio levels and adjust those. I'm no linux expert but I ran into the same problem with my Mic IN levels (turned off completely) and it was becusae the mic levels weren't showing that i needed to adjust, I had to check off to display a few more options befo [20:54] re it would work [20:54] Stanley_: try tar cf - "directory" | gzip -9 > "directory".tar.gz [20:55] stanley,ill try that now..back in a bit [20:56] b0red: well, here is the page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EclipseIDE Its been updated with some new info the last time I looked at it. I just followed the "User Installation" directions, but hey, maybe the ppa will work. I will have to try it sometime [20:56] gl!

[20:59] I've been editing some files located on another system via a cifs/samba mounted share and just noticed there's like 4 or 5 dozen files named like 'cifs####' where #### is a hex value.

[21:01] stanley,that sorted it..just ticked everything then diabled mmaster dual speaker and enabled mono [21:01] m0rph3us: I have on / and /boot [21:01] i feel like such a noob [21:01] Crash1hd: is your /home on a different partition than /? [21:01] harun, hello [21:02] how is going here? [21:02] http://www.shrani.si/f/2X/e4/OCxCIt9/slika.png what do you folks think about my desktop? [21:02] harun, i think #ubuntu-offtopic is for that [21:02] I have just installed xubuntu [21:03] Nationiant, as I understand it, what's in /home shouldn't affect the OS, as such. It may be an issue for applications, though. [21:03] jonny_b: don't worry about it, it's an easy thing to miss, gotta get out of the "windows" thought processes [21:03] I've been wondering about that myself, though. [21:04] stanley,ya its a bit different alright lol...another thing about drive partitions [21:04] Crash1hd: try "mount" to liat all your current mount points [21:04] I'm thinking about getting another hard drive, with partitions for Fedora, freeBSD, and maybe Windows XP.

[21:06] <[cgk]ades> FoolishOwl: quad boot? lol, just nicer to have to or 3 boxes to mess with [21:06] jonny_b: should do [21:06] how do i get the sound to come from my speakers not the motherboard speaker [21:06] nony rip the mothherboard speake [21:06] jonny_b: linux can read NTFS as far as I know just not write to it, just to let you know [21:06] m0rph3us: http://www.pastie.org/523380 [21:06] Buying a second hard drive would be about as much as I can afford, anyway. [21:07] omar what [21:07] morpheus,and vise versa....do i have to select the save location or does the system do it automatically [21:07] is it possible to setup your machine to allow the guest session at login rather than need an actualy user?

I'd just want other OS'es on hand for educational purposes. === Aorimn_ is now known as Aorimn [21:10] [cgk]ades: good to know :) I've never actually tested it, I'm rather new to Linux as a desktop, that was just something i'd read a while back [21:11] m0rph3us: http://www.pastie.org/523380 <-- contains a list of all my mount points as per typing mount [21:11] <[cgk]ades> FoolishOwl: i have 3 solaris boxes, one opensoalris box (motherboard kaput though), my work laptop is fedora, personal laptop is ubuntu, i have VM's including FreeBSD, solaris and DSL. one mac laptop and.... one windows box [21:11] <``Cube> anybody interested in dropbox? http://cubestuff.wordpress.com/2009/06/24/dropbox-2-computers-a-designers-heaven/ [21:11] <[cgk]ades> Stanley_: i have reciently had to use a live cd to fix a windows server [21:12] !ot | ``Cube [21:12] ``Cube: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

Then I had the kinit: no resume image message. So I did the swapoff, mkswap, update-initramfs -u and now it doesn't give me an error message but just boots to TTY1. startx doesn't work [21:12] Stanley_: scp === tomahawk is now known as Guest64861 [21:13] i can't get back into gnome.. anyone?

Do someone know if it is possible to setup multiple os installation on a USB flash drive, Ubuntu, Fedora, XP, Vista, etc., using a menu on boot up. thx [21:16] Crash1hd: take a look at http://computingtech.blogspot.com/2008/09/ubuntu-linux-disk-quotas.html [21:16] I just commented out from xorg.conf the RGbPath under section "files" and startx worked... what was that line for ? [21:16] papapep / Vlet: can you request a file with SCP or just send one? [21:16] FoolishOwl, if you want to learn linux in general I would stick to the command line utilities not anything GUI based. I say this because the whole unix designation is based on these utilities. Learn vi and you can use it on any unix box. Learn netstat, route, ifconfig and you can manage a network on just about anything. Learning Ubuntu is mainly learning gnome [21:16] Stanley_: whatever you need [21:16] FoolishOwl, learn sed/awl and grep. Learn to use curl and wget. Again this are pretty much universal tools [21:17] Babbleback: try to rm /tmp/.X0-lock [21:17] guntbert: ? [21:17] mdm, you're right of course, and the class I'm taking is on unix/linux system administration in general, so doubtlessly, it'll all be on the command line.

[21:18] thomas_: with that I denote the key with "strg" on it [21:18] Stanley_: scp user@server:/origin_on_server local_destination to retrieve [21:18] guntbert: Ah, I'm on a notebook here [21:18] guntbert, i dont know if its a special shortcut! also not working for me! [21:18] thomas_: im not sure what u mean with fullscreen? [21:19] papapep: thank you! :) [21:19] n0gear: I mean if I'm in a fullscreen app and can't access the menu?

[21:22] adeodatus: start kernel recovery mode [21:22] CaptainMorgan, but why? [21:22] I use ubuntu on pentium 4 [21:22] Quasi1: thnk you for pointing my error out, you see I'm on a german keyboard and a bit tired :-) [21:22] I'd appreciate any insite if you've dealt with ejabberd [21:22] OK so how do I check to see if quotas is inabled or not? [21:22] Damn my IRC skills are rusty, but Firefox keeps crashing on launch :( [21:22] hi :D [21:22] adeodatus, what chipset ICHX? [21:23] MrPockets, why not? is there a way? yes or no, and if the former, could you kindly and briefly point me to how? [21:23] thomas_: you could go to terminal and use top command and check PID of the hanging prog and then sudo kill PID [21:23] via [21:23] CaptainMorgan, of course theres a way. I'd have to pull up a shell and dig a round a but, which i don't have time to do at this very moment [21:23] but it seems like a pretty sheisty request [21:23] thomas_, you can use: ps aux | grep progname and then kill <#pid> [21:24] request that someone tell me how, or the request to delete the related information? [21:24] adeodatus, and you are using 32 bit version? [21:24] either way, opinions are unnecessary when a technical fact is being sought [21:24] Thanks guys! [21:24] thomas_: You can also use killall. Example killall firefox [21:25] Ubuntu can see the Windows partitions, and that is good. I was wondering if there is a way to make Windows see the Linux partitions as well (even if read-only) [21:25] Yes , i use 32 bit version. [21:25] Halabund, ext3 or higher will not work [21:25] CaptainMorgan: maybe delete wtmp? [21:25] abyss_: :-(, but thanks for the reply [21:25] hmm... thanks danbhfive I'll llook into it [21:26] Halabund, maybe on fat32 partition but for a system partion not very good [21:26] is perl dead or on the way out or still alive and kicking? [21:26] i have this problem with my squid [21:26] Anyone? [21:26] decode_addr:invalid IP address '"' [21:26] squid.conf line 13: acl plus src "/etc/squid/plus.lst" [21:26] aclParseIpData: Ignoring invalid IP acl entry: unknown first address '"' [21:26] aclParceAclLine: WARNING: empty ACL: acl plus src "/etc/squid/plus.lst" [21:26] ricmen: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:26] o [21:26] hi, What package do I have to install to have the acmkdir programm? [21:26] danbhfive, ah, should've known... that file is listed right in the man page, thanks [21:26] m sorry [21:26] ricmen, please use a pastebin to copy logs or codes [21:27] Guiri: maybe try #perl [21:27] i forgot [21:27] CaptainMorgan: yaga, that's where I got the idea [21:27] sorry everyone [21:27] A few friends of mine rave about how useful perl is for system administration. [21:27] heh...gotta love the man files :) [21:28] QUIT [21:28] Hello everybody :) [21:28] ricmen: in any case, there is a channel #squid :-) [21:28] jejeje [21:29] i know [21:29] http://paste.ubuntu.com/203135/ [21:30] I have a problem with the external Youtube Player, it never export my videos playlists very well, is it normal ???? [21:30] hi, What package do I have to install to have the acmkdir programm? [21:33] I am new to Ubuntu and have a few questions. Can anyone answer? [21:33] Ubee: ask away [21:33] !ask [21:33] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [21:34] Ubee: YES [21:34] Ubee: Sorry, got ahead of myself... [21:34] I want to know how Ubuntu differs from Windows. I was given a disk today and a friend told me that I can use this Irc to ask questions before attempting to put it on my computer. [21:34] Zimbres, acmkdir or mkdir? [21:34] !info autotools-dev | zimbres - I guess its in [21:34] zimbres: autotools-dev (source: autotools-dev): Update infrastructure for config.{guess,sub} files. In component main, is optional. Version 20080123.2 (jaunty), package size 61 kB, installed size 168 kB [21:35] Is is more stable that vista? [21:35] !ot | Ubee [21:35] Ubee: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [21:36] On Windows, I use the foobar2000 music player. It has a plugin that can schedule computer shutdowns and startups. This way I can set the computer to hibernate automatically when the player gets to the end of the playlist. It is also possible to set it up to return from hibernation at a particular time of day, and start playing music (alarm clock). Is there anything similar for Ubuntu? [21:36] Bye ! [21:37] so much for Ubee [21:37] guntbert, I have already the newest version but no acmkdir command available. [21:38] I have installed, via apt-get the autobook, where can I find it now? [21:38] zimbres: let me try [21:39] Salut a tous [21:39] zimbres: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2005-January/019716.html [21:39] any reason why my laptop would start playing the startup/login sound when it's been disabled in the sound preferences? It just started doing it the other day [21:40] what would i do if i wanted to install a windows version after already having ubuntu installed [21:40] and add it to grub as an optional boot [21:40] zimbres: it seems not to be here - you are right, so I guessed wrong - sorry [21:40] Babbleback: why put Windows on? [21:40] sebsebseb, damn games [21:40] zimbres: Not sure what it is but probably is in your path. [21:40] Babbleback, installing windows will wipe out grub, you'll need to reinstall grub after Windows - FYI [21:41] Babbleback: oh the usual story, and there are good native Linux games out there as well [21:41] Why can't I see video in firefox on ubuntu jaunty? http://www.tvnet.lv/onlinetv/play.php?id=340607 [21:41] !grub | Babbleback [21:41] any suggestions? [21:41] Babbleback: 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 [21:41] I hear audio but no video [21:41] i want to keep it from wiping out ubuntu.. can you even specify a partition with a windows installer? [21:42] <^Phantom^> I need help with an archive. How can I extract .rar files? [21:42] Babbleback: it does not wipe out Ubuntu, it just goes over Grub that's all [21:42] usr13, it is unfortunately not on my path, I think, as guntbert pointed out it is not part of autotools. === richard is now known as Guest59182 [21:42] Janhouse, with the Firefox mplayer plugin i don't get video either - good luck. [21:42] im using thunderbird with ldap address book (to AD). after every lookup, I have a 10-15 second grey out that is pretty annoying. anyone else have a similar setup/experience? [21:42] <^Phantom^> Archive Manager says the archive type is not supported. [21:42] . [21:42] !rar | ^Phantom^ [21:42] ^Phantom^: rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free [21:42] zimbres: man autobook [21:42] sebsebseb, but i need a FAT32 partition for it to install on correct? [21:42] <^Phantom^> Thankies. [21:42] * ^Phantom^ goes and reads [21:42] Babbleback: which version of Windows? and NTFS is better than Fat32 [21:43] does anyone know how to run a intel driver disk [21:43] ZykoticK9, but wtf?! It should work :D [21:43] ^Phantom^: np [21:43] ^Phantom^, i think if you "sudo apt-get install unrar" then archive manager will work with rar file (repeat "i think") [21:43] sebsebseb, was going to try out windows 7 [21:43] Babbleback: you can virtual machine that inside Ubuntu, but yeah 3D gaming won't work like that [21:43] Hi, I am trying out firefox 3.5, how do I disable the system "beep" when there's a javascript dialog? [21:43] usr13, I have no entry for autobook, What is wrong. I installed it via apt-get. [21:43] Babbleback: and as long as you have enough RAM to do VM's [21:43] <^Phantom^> okay [21:43] sudo apt-get install p7zip [21:43] zimbres: Just a sec... I'll see. [21:44] 7zip rocks [21:44] slestak: 7-zip is good yeah [21:44] yup [21:44] <^Phantom^> Yep that works, ZykoticK9 . thank you [21:44] sebsebseb, played with some VM's but i need a dual boot in this case [21:44] anyone using thunderbird with ldap address book? [21:44] is there a guide anywhere to setting up dual monitors with the Nvidia Xserver settings? [21:44] Babbleback: Windows 7 is on release candidate at the moment, that will start shutting itself down every 2 hours on like March 1st next year, and then stop working on like June 1st next year [21:44] wildc4rd, nvidia-settings does it [21:44] !twinview [21:44] twinview is a feature provided by nvidia cards, which can be configured with nvidia-settings [21:45] wildc4rd: as long as you use twinview, no howteo is really necessary [21:45] is it possible to convert few .WMV videos into VOB extension and than play it on dvd payer through a pen drive? [21:45] Babbleback, if you REALLY want windows then it's proabably best if you backup your linux files, install Windows then install Ubuntu [21:45] folle99 [21:45] wildc4rd: make sure to run nvidia settings manager as sudo (not from menu) [21:45] <^Phantom^> Thank you for the help. :) [21:45] ZykoticK9: Grub can be put back on again [21:45] ZykoticK9, nothing to lose [21:45] Babbleback: it is easier to have Windows installed first, and then install Ubuntu, however Grub can also be put back on again when Windows goes over the part of it in the Master Boot Record [21:46] sebsebseb, true but the easiest method (if practical) would be to reinstall both OS's -- really depends on what the user has for a partition layout currently [21:46] whats a good linux blog? [21:46] i've just got one big partition other than the swap partition [21:46] tesla_: don't know, but check these sites out for linux news http://www.linuxtoday.com http://www.slashdot.org/linux http://www.linux.org [21:47] thanks [21:47] smeone? [21:47] tesla_: np oh and whilst I am at it http://www.distrowatch.com :) [21:47] Since the new Kernel Update , is it possible that The Kernel and the Nvidia Graphic Cards , have some problems to work together?

[21:49] yeah i can imagine that scenario, im just so happy ever since i got rid of it i had to comment on that and since im not a PC gamer everythings just fine for me [21:49] hello [21:49] cldx3000: indeed and now try and get that message out to the masses, that they don't really need Windows for most/all of their tasks [21:50] I have just updated karmic, now whenever I login via gdm it restarts X [21:50] Um_cara_qualquer: Here is a start: http://directory.fsf.org/category/video/ [21:50] dont freight im already doing so on a daily base ;) [21:50] hi all, what's the best way to get tor running on ubuntu?

[21:51] I seem to have an issue when putting files on a remote machine by sftp (sshfs), I'd guess something spikes to 100% CPU which renders the box practically useless. Any recommendations on how to log this? top freezes just like everything else during these blackouts. [21:51] anyone has a solution on 9.04 and ethernet card not funktioning [21:52] burkmat: does scp show the same performance? [21:53] Sumo-Ente: depends o what card are we talking about and what yu mean by "not funktioning" share more details on the setup [21:53] vigo humm o_O [21:53] deagle: I use fuser -m for a complete device [21:53] !details | Sumo-Ente [21:53] Sumo-Ente: 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 ..." [21:53] Where is the "About me" information used? [21:53] guntbert: stil nothing :( [21:53] How do I turn my background image 90deg to the right? It's a photo, and just turning it 90deg in different programs and saving it doesn't do the trick... Every program shows it upright, and the menu from where I can choose different backgrounds shows it upright as well... [21:54] vigo i don't get it... so the player will run through a pen drive if i convert the videos into VOC? [21:54] o_O [21:54] deagle: how do you know if the file is really open?

[22:14] am i missing a plugin [22:14] zimbres: And has 286 pages [22:15] Anyone know why a window pops up asking to a keyring? [22:15] zimbres: It is intersting that there was nothing telling about it, you just had to find out on your own. So I used the find command: sudo find / -name autobook [22:16] question, i am running jaunty and was wondering how to change the 'Create Folder' icon size...i've seen it done before on different distros [22:16] Everyone here is busy? [22:16] Highlight [22:16] seems like it lol [22:17] when someones free to help me im here [22:17] thanks [22:17] johnny_b: Have you looked at Desklets? [22:17] question, i am running jaunty and was wondering how to change the 'Create Folder' icon size in the right click context menu...i've seen it done before on different distros === tom_ is now known as laymansnerd [22:18] usr13, now I see this is exact same book that I've got here, the printed version. That was not of much useful for me. [22:18] I want to know how to resolve my keyring inquire problem [22:18] LinuX2half, When does this window pop up? [22:18] vigo,whata that...im anoob to ubuntu [22:18] when I login [22:19] zimbres: The "document was generated by Build Daemon user on January, 3 2006 using texi2html" [22:19] LinuX2half, Using WLAN? [22:19] Anyone, how do I change the font size here in Konversation? [22:19] go to your authorizations in the main menu under administration [22:19] nbkr: Yes, wireless connection [22:19] nbkr [22:19] erUSUL did not help [22:19] johhny_b: we all started at sometime, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=31928&highlight=g-mail+plugin , I still learn something everyday, or it is a day wasted. [22:20] LinuX2half, Probably the network manager trying to get the WLAN Password from your keyring. [22:20] zimbres: Kind of interesting though.... and text2html looks like it works pretty well I guess. You get tired of reading the hard copy you can fire it up on your pc. :) [22:20] LinuX2half, The keyring is encrypted with a password. Thats why it asks you about that password. [22:20] thanks vigo [22:20] eyheyhey [22:21] nbkr: okay, so then if I decrypted will the window stop appearing? [22:21] zimbres: Best viewed in fullscreen mode (in Firefox anyway). [22:21] You can remove the password from the keyring, than it will stop asking, but its less secure of course. [22:21] usr13, autotools are not the easiest thing to learn, I am spending some time in it. [22:22] what you mean by less secure? === Nony is now known as Silegh [22:22] can i get some help[ [22:22] How do I find out which eth0/eth1/eth2 are available on a system? [22:22] LinuX2half, The keyring is used to store most of your passwords (like for FTP or Samba Shares you connected with Nautilus to), so if someone steals your notebook nothing will prevent him from getting those passwords. [22:22] iwconfig [22:23] vigo,will this fix the sound issues from gmail chat and forum chat boxes? [22:23] LinuX2half, Anyway it is up to you to decide if this a thread for you. [22:23] Anyone, how do I change the font size here in Konversation? [22:23] Silegh: thanks! [22:23] Hello [22:23] i am running jaunty and was wondering if anyone knows how to change the 'Create Folder' icon size in the right click context menu...i've seen it done before on different distros [22:23] nbkr, okay so its recommended that the password should be set and encrypted? [22:24] How do I disable joined quit messages in xchat? [22:24] does ubuntu unmount the initrd after the boot process? [22:24] i'm withjoecool - only in Konversation :) [22:24] LinuX2half, That depends - i haven't set the password myself as it is anoying and I didn't find another solution. === john is now known as Guest98342 === mrklean`ubuntu is now known as mrklean- [22:25] nbkr, so you still have to enter your keyring even though its annoying? [22:25] joecool169, right click on the channel button -> Settings -> Hide Join/Part Messages. [22:25] LinuX2half, No, I removed the password. [22:25] how do I add this chat room to mt "pidgin" im chat client? [22:25] johnny_b: I am uncertain about that, but I do know that desklets and that other GUI stuff is fun, compiz may come into play there. [22:25] ok [22:25] ty nbkr [22:26] a [22:26] zimbres: Do the html page numbers match the hardcopy book's page numbers? - Or do they at least coincide?

Globally unique [22:28] I have an asus g5-v, and I read that etc/acpi/asus-wireless.sh may be the reason my wireless won't work, i was told to move or delete it [22:28] *g50v [22:28] I meant g50-v [22:28] hey [22:29] joecool169, Renaming can be done on console: "sudo mv /etc/acpi/asus-wireless.sh /etc/acpi/asus-wireless.sh.old" [22:29] im trying to install a package from source and i get this error: [22:29] configure: error: Cannot build a 32-bit program, you need to install 32-bit development libraries.

I have an nvidia card, and I want to use this driver: NVIDIA-Linux-x86-169.12-pkg1.run, which I downloaded at nvidia's site. [22:31] yep, mv is move joe [22:31] rob235_, its depends on the makefile by the gcc swtich is -m as in -m32 or -m64 [22:31] sudo is what again? [22:32] With my NVIDIA...run file, if I install that from f1 console, after quitting gdm... is that the proper way to install it? [22:32] sudo is "super user do" [22:32] nbkr: Oh, ok. Thanks. [22:32] rob235_, as for configure its usualy part of the autocofig system, so it makes a makefile [22:32] joecool169, "superuser do" = run something with higher privledges. [22:32] ok, ty. [22:32] so what can i do? [22:32] I installed my nvidia graphics driver through the gui [22:32] joecool169, higher means with the right of the user "root" that is the administrative account on every linux system.

[22:33] hey [22:34] rob235_, then install vbox, put in a 32 bit ubu distro and compile it. But I warn you its not a simple thing to do and you REALY should know what is in the files you compile [22:34] it amazes me the people who download stuff, compile it and run it and have no clue as to what it really does [22:34] nbkr: Oh yea, I've heard of that, I remember now...

[22:50] MunkyCheezReload, That command told your computer to delete everything that is on the hard drive and all attached USB drives! [22:50] ? [22:50] MunkyCheezReload: what version of ubuntu are you using [22:50] waul, Yes it is. [22:51] Ubuntu 7.04 - my son installed it [22:51] I have been here about the same problem before, but with even more ominous results. On my MSI Wind u100 netbook, running Ubuntu NBR 9.04, the battery dies after 2 hours. (Idle, LCD at 0%, wireless card turned off.) On Windows XP, same setup, but with wireless enabled, I get 3 hours of battery life! [22:51] nbkr - what do you mean? [22:51] Is there anything I can do to recover that extra hour of battery life? [22:51] MunkyCheezReload: ok - so rm -rf wouldn't have actually done any damage to your computers file system, it would have only deleted anything owned by your username [22:51] nbkr, where is "open with" in the properties window. [22:51] what is the best Gmail notifier for Ubuntu? there are so many to choose from [22:52] MunkyCheezReload, The command in human understandable format ist: remove (rm) everything (-r) and don't ask me again (f), oh and run it with administrator priviledges (sudo).

[22:53] MunkyCheezReload: that's not how that command works [22:53] MunkyCheezReload: it's gone [22:53] Hello! How can I see which Video Driver I am using? Wondering whether OpenChrome is active. [22:53] MunkyCheezReload, That command doesn't put anything into the recycle bin, it kills the files instantly. [22:53] Why? What does that mean? [22:53] MunkyCheezReload: it means your data is gone === Uncle|Sam is now known as uncle|sam [22:53] What data? What about my photos? [22:53] !backup [22:54] There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [22:54] MunkyCheezReload: your data owned by your user - is gone [22:54] is there a tmpfs read write dir like /tmp in solaris ? [22:54] MunkyCheezReload, You screwed the computer and all data that it had. Forever, everything is gone - you will not get it back. [22:54] axisys: not by default, /tmp is just a file system [22:54] ikonia: i know [22:54] axisys: ok - so why are you asking ? [22:54] I just did the lastest update and now my sound quit working. I have already uninstalled and reinstall alsa and pulseaudio and still no love. Sometimes when I log out or in I get a brief snippet of sound so I know that sound is there Also if I set in sound preferences to use OSS it works. However this isn't correct and I should be using pulse for sound [22:54] ikonia: i know /tmp is just a fs [22:54] axisys: man mount --> tmpfs [22:55] When I try to open Internet Explorer it says Could not launch application [22:55] I'm worried [22:55] MunkyCheezReload: interenet explorer is not ubuntu [22:55] ikonia: i do not if there is a tmpfs fs rw by default [22:55] Hi can someone recommend me a bluetooth dongle which has good linux driver support?

[22:56] axisys: bang on [22:56] waul, Jep. [22:56] ikonia: i am looking to do it right way .. [22:56] nbkr ies4linux makes that easy [22:56] Are there no utilities to recover deleted files? not even with a common fs like ext3? [22:56] nbkr, only files right clicked have them on mine [22:56] folders lack it [22:56] alazyworkaholic: yes there are but it is not straight forward [22:56] How would I get on the internet without Internet Explorer? [22:56] Donj: I'm using a mikomi bd-02 which cost about £4 and runs fine under gnome [22:56] gogeta: i did that before [22:57] MunkyCheezReload: I advise you to speak to your sun to reconfigure your system [22:57] gogeta, Thats make installing easier, but not using IE - using IE is already a pain on Windows :-) [22:57] He's in Japan [22:57] nbkr yep [22:57] waul, What version of Ubuntu are you running. [22:57] firefox 4 life [22:57] What is Firefox? [22:57] MunkyCheezReload: a web browser like internet explorer === mcasadevall is now known as NCommander [22:57] included in ubuntu [22:57] !firefox [22:57] firefox is the default web-browser on Ubuntu. To install the latest version, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion Installing plugins: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxPlugins [22:57] gogeta, do you know how to connect to a windows 2003 VPn server? [22:57] MunkyCheezReload, A Webbrowser - like Internet Explorer but with more features. [22:57] I don't know how myself but if MunkyCheezReload's photos just got wiped because of an a**hole it might be time to take that crash course in file recovery. [22:57] It says about "Firefox" in Internet Explorer sometimes when there is an error [22:57] jeeves //:ip of pc [22:58] in thee filemanager [22:58] Does that mean Firefox is a bad thing? [22:58] MunkyCheezReload: thats because your using firefox [22:58] axisys: Actually, mount reports that /dev/shm is tmpfs. It is mode drwxrwxrwt. But it is intended to hold shared memory images rather than act like a faster /tmp. [22:58] MunkyCheezReload, No, its a good thing. [22:58] gogeta, will that setup the VPN though? [22:58] MunkyCheezReload: there is no such thing as interent explorer on ubuntu - it's called firefox, but that's not important now [22:58] MunkyCheezReload: what is important is that your data is gone [22:58] nbkr: 9.04 [22:58] jeeves set it up like connecting to another windows pc [22:58] But why does it have a different icon for Ubuntu - I've always wondered that. [22:59] MunkyCheezReload: because it's not interenet explorer [22:59] gogeta, well, I was doing to howtos I found on the net, and they keep failing [22:59] It has a little orange and blue world icon rather than a "e" [22:59] to connect i always had to manuly do it [22:59] MunkyCheezReload: because it's not interenet explorer [22:59] with //:ip [22:59] But if there wasn't Internet Explorer, how do I get on the internet? [22:59] both in windows and linux [22:59] MunkyCheezReload: firefox is a web browser like internet explorer [22:59] gogeta, this is clearly a troll [22:59] What's a web browser? [22:59] MunkyCheezReload: you use it to read the internet [22:59] suspicious [23:00] ? [23:00] waul, Hm - should be there. Try to create a new folder on your desktop and check if you can see it there. Maybe its a problem with access rights. [23:00] I know what a web is [23:00] And what a "file browser" is [23:00] MunkyCheezReload: Internet Explorer is a type of program called a web browser. Firefox is a web browser too. Ever heard of netscape navigator maybe? [23:00] ahoi, someone thinks he's good with file archiving/compression? [23:00] Netscape what? [23:00] waul no for some reasion my pc whont see the netwwork but tpying the ip workes everytime [23:00] I know this isn't #wine, but the default text size for programs running in wine is unreadably small. I've fiddled with settings, but I can't find the fix. Anyone know this problem? [23:00] MunkyCheezReload: don't worry about it [23:00] MunkyCheezReload: internet explorer is just a program that loads web pages, firefox, epiphany and Netscape are all similar applications [23:00] MunkyCheezReload: the answer to your first question is "your data is gone" [23:01] OK, how do I get my photos and Internet Explorer back? [23:01] No ideas about battery life under Ubuntu / Linux? I'm getting 3 hours on Windows XP, and only 2 on Ubuntu. [23:01] MunkyCheezReload: you can't [23:01] anyone have swiftfox to work with flash? [23:01] Why not?? [23:01] MunkyCheezReload: the data is gone [23:01] How is it gone? [23:01] Hi, everyone. For firestarter...the firewall /automatically/ starts when I am connected to the internet, right? [23:01] MunkyCheezReload: you deleted it [23:01] Why can't I go into the the Recycle Bin? [23:01] MunkyCheezReload: no [23:01] jeeves its not // its // sorry [23:01] MunkyCheezReload: this has been covered for you [23:01] MunkyCheezReload: your data is gone [23:01] lol [23:02] no : [23:02] I clicked the Recycle Bin and it said Location not found [23:02] MunkyCheezReload: enough [23:02] MunkyCheezReload: your data is gone [23:02] MunkyCheezLoad: Where did the photos originate from, or where did you get them from, that is the place that you can get them back. [23:02] Where is the Recycle Bin?

[23:02] torn_: You could use the powertop package to see what may be making a laptop use more battery power. [23:02] nbkr lol [23:02] Vigo: they're from my camera [23:02] MunkyCheezReload: your data is gone - the sooner you accept that and stop what is looking like a time wasting discussion the better please. [23:02] stroyan, I have used PowerTOP, but I don't know what to make of it. [23:02] nbkr did someone forget to dule boot [23:02] It's the usual culprits, and most everything is disabled, anyways. [23:03] I'm not wasting time - this is incredibly important to myself and my family. [23:03] MunkyCheezReload: well - the data is gone [23:03] MunkyCheezLoad: Did you ever back them up? [23:03] No why? [23:03] did someone solve the problem in ubuntu load cycles? [23:03] MunkyCheezReload: the data is gone - [23:03] MunkyCheezReload, To restore the files - just in case it got deleted accidently or the hard drive of the computer breaks down. [23:04] how do i find out which touchpad driver i'm using? [23:04] I never backed them up because I never thought this stupid computer system would delete all my photos [23:04] MunkyCheezReload: well the data is gone [23:04] Where? [23:04] uni4dfx: you should be able to see what touchpad module is loaded in your xorg log [23:04] MunkyCheezReload, Nirvana. [23:04] MunkyCheezReload: gone - nolonger exists [23:04] MunkeeCheezLoad: Almost any magnetic data can, in theory, be recovered, in part, but that data , if not backed up, is gone. [23:04] hello, i got a problem with network, i cannot connet to my router, ubuntu does not get any ip address via DHCP [23:04] What is Nirvana? [23:04] can anyone help me please? [23:04] ubuntu 8.10 [23:04] MunkyCheezReload lol data = gone forever [23:05] ikonia: lol [23:05] MunkyCheezReload unless you made a dule boot then winddows is still there [23:05] elhoir, Using WLAN, cabeld lan? [23:05] That was fun for a while. [23:05] ikonia: i see ETPS/2 Elantech is loaded... i suppose that's it? [23:05] uni4dfx: sounds good [23:05] gogeta, He's been kicked - but anyway if the windows partition was mounted it is gone now too :-) [23:06] ikonia: k, thanks [23:06] nbkr heh [23:06] gogeta, Sad for the guy - if it wasn't a troll.

[23:07] it doesnt matter [23:07] nbkr: still no luck [23:07] vigo: yes, Network Manager shows both interfaces [23:08] but, no way for connecting to the router [23:08] and same PC, booting into Windows, connects perfectly [23:08] elhoir: Network Manager shows etho1 and etho2, that could be the start of the error. [23:08] quick search told me to look up foremost or scalpel for file recovery. Anyway, anyone know why vino-server & gdm started eating up my cpu? [23:08] what's a GTK 1x/2x? [23:08] !gtk [23:08] GTK is the !GIMP toolkit, which forms the base of !GNOME and is used by many applications to provide a !GUI [23:08] elhior some linux drivers dont like wpa are you using that [23:09] vigo: ifconfig only shows lo (loopback) and eth0 [23:09] waul, give me a second. [23:09] nbkr, k [23:09] elhoir that means your wireless is not working [23:09] elhoir, is it a hidden WLAN? [23:09] Hello all, I'm having some issues with Pidgin, and I installed the most recent. Direct IMs aren't working in the AIM protocol, and it says it's asking to connect to a LAN IP... Any ideas?

[23:32] script running from cron gives out different output than when run from terminal [23:32] i think its because some of the commands executed by the script are VERY long [23:32] nbkr: yes, its working now with static DHCP [23:32] err.. static IP [23:32] sorry [23:33] Всем привет. Надеюсь есть еще знатоки, которые не спят? [23:33] Hi, I'm trying to rescue info from a server using ubuntu livecd. I don't know how disks are distributed (I'm sure the one who did it used raid1 & lvm). Is a tool or solution available for this situation?

[23:36] the thing is.. where the problem is? so that i can fix it next time... [23:36] Hi [23:36] buller [23:36] anyone awake here? [23:36] :D [23:36] moonwatcher, keep in mind cron runs in a differnt enviroment, with posibly differnt enviroment varables then a user when logged in. But it would be nearly imposible to help you without knowing what that script did and what it containes. [23:37] Lots of folks, Dasc. [23:37] Whats up fokes? [23:37] you spelling folks wrong [23:37] Just wondering if anyone has installed ubuntu 64 desktop on a Xeon? [23:37] because I tried both desktop and server but it says that I'm using the wrong kernal [23:37] :( [23:38] mdm: the script is quite complicated === guy_ad is now known as Helpmepls [23:38] elhoir, Would try to have a look at the routers logs and the ubuntu logs. Maybe there are some hints. [23:38] exit [23:39] Dasc: older Xeons aren't 64-bit; which one are you using? [23:39] does anyone know off hand how too join and irc server thats not in the listed servers? [23:39] nbkr: aha, ok thx [23:39] drastic, /server [23:39] rww: I tired to install it on a Dell poweredge 2650 [23:39] danke [23:39] >_X [23:42] Dasc: that came out right around the Xeon 32-bit to 64-bit switchover. Since you didn't tell me the actual processor model, I don't know for sure, but I'd guess you have a 32-bit one based on the error. [23:42] rww: I'm planning to upgrade my pc to a dual Xeon, do you think ubuntu will install? here's a screenshot of my shopping list www.darevolution.co.uk/myupgrade.png [23:42] Dasc: The E5504 is 64-bit capable, yeah [23:43] rww: cool :D so I should be able to just install ubuntu 64 desktop on it with no problems? :D [23:43] Dasc: That'd depend on your other hardware, but the processor shouldn't be a problem. [23:44] ok guys, i have another question, The terminal blanks after 15 minutes of inactivity, doing 'setterm -powerdown 0 -powersave off' but i would like to apply this at boot-time on all local terminals [23:44] rww: hmm what other hardware would affect the installation? :O [23:45] Dasc: umm. Graphics card, sound card, motherboard on-board stuff... pretty much anything has the potential to be incompatible with an operating system. [23:45] dasc: maybe the graphics card. but an open source driver probably exists for it, and ubuntu will automatically use it [23:46] mdm: i think i found it, iconv behaves differently [23:46] Hell, my /monitor/ is incompatible with my graphics card software on Windows >.> [23:46] rgrasell1: I'm currently using a core 2 duo, with nvidia 8600 running ubuntu 64 with no problems [23:46] hello all [23:46] dasc: im guessing itll be fine then :) [23:47] rgrasell1: cool :D [23:47] Hi can someone help me?

[23:49] when did it start doing this? [23:50] does it correlate to any changes you made? [23:50] Since I've installed it === siv27 is now known as sivel27 [23:50] I installed it using wubi [23:50] I have 8gig HD space for ubuntu [23:50] !who [23:50] As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [23:50] Ok [23:51] not familiar with wubi installs [23:51] someone else might have to help [23:51] how to change the ip address in ubuntu [23:51] !tab shiretoko [23:51] Sorry, I don't know anything about tab shiretoko [23:51] Mannn [23:51] Prankster163: you have to restart? killing x won't help for example? [23:51] ruler, temporary or permanently? [23:51] What does [23:51] Killing x mean? [23:52] ruler, Are you using the network manager? [23:52] Prankster163: they want you to write "name: whatever" whenever you say things here to unclutter the conversation [23:52] Oh ok [23:52] !tab [23:52] You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [23:53] ok i need some hlp with fglrx on ubuntu. i installed the driver according to the ubuntu wiki, but X doesnt work. i get a blank screen. I installed the driver from ati.com [23:53] Derenrich: what does killing x mean? [23:54] prankster163: restarting the graphical environment on your computer [23:54] rgrasell1, jaunty? thought the open source driver (ie not fglrx) worked best with that [23:54] Anyone have any luck with getting rid of syslog and upgrading to, say, syslog-ng or metlog? [23:54] Prankster163: killing x means going to the command line (you can do this without a mouse) and typing "sudo killall gdm" or something like that [23:54] rgrasell1: according to which Ubuntu Wiki page? [23:54] nbkr: ip change for temporary [23:54] Ok when my mouse locks up agan I'll try it [23:54] bazhang: i need the increased 3d performance [23:55] ruler, sudo ifconfig ... or sudo ip addr add ... with the appropriate parameters will do.

Any idea why? [23:56] bazhang: any help would be greayly appreciated! [23:56] hi im back again,anyone know why i cant hear alerts on my gmail chat or forum chat boxes but i can here pidgin and system alerts? [23:56] rgrasell1: You mean the instructions in the section with "WARNING: this method of installing the driver is not recommended and not supported" at the top of it =/? [23:56] Prankster163: Alt+F2 is like the run prompt in windows [23:56] sup guys [23:56] i need some major help [23:56] please [23:56] !ask | root [23:56] root: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily).

[23:57] bazhang: :( [23:57] rgrasell1: Because ATI's installer isn't designed for Ubuntu and doesn't use Ubuntu's package management system, so using it is a bad idea. As for why it didn't work... which graphics card do you have, to start? [23:57] I am trying to ue ircd-hybrid, but whenever I try to connect to my server over the network with its static dhcp address, it gives me a connection refused message. I took off all of my iptables rules and everything should be good, but connect refused always happens. [23:58] LinuX2half: Yeah, are you using Ubuntu 9.04? I'm writing an article on how to customize GNOME, and I tried installing the Aurora theme engine earlier today. It requires a version of the GTK widget toolkit which is ... um, too *new*. :) [23:58] rww: radeon x1600. what system is it designed for? it created .deb packages for me [23:58] can anyone help me? === Guest42963 is now known as camel [23:58] tiyowan: yeah, I'm running 9.04 [23:58] * alper do you speak turkish [23:58] tiyowan: widget factory you mean?

I took off all of my iptables rules and everything should be good, but connect refused always happens. [23:59] anyone? [23:59] anyone know why i cant hear alerts on my gmail chat or forum chat boxes but i can here pidgin and system alerts? [23:59] LinuX2half: The GTK widget toolkit. [23:59] camel, don't repeat [23:59] rgrasell1: The latest version of fglrx doesn't support pre-R600 cards, including the Radeon X1600 (R520). [23:59] well no one is answer bazhang [23:59] and i changed my name [23:59] rgrasell1: older versions of fglrx doesn't support Jaunty's version of X.org. [23:59] tiyowan: have no idea what that is
