[00:01] dayo : the the host ip is ... ? [00:01] what does ipconfig show? [00:01] saif: all i can tell you is that the default gateway (10.0.2.2 most likely) is your host OS. you should be able to ping and access any other services that your host OS is running (such as apache maybe) [00:01] laura_: hi [00:02] !welcome | laura_ [00:02] laura_: Welcome to #ubuntu - the Ubuntu support channel.

[00:07] saif: could you please post the output of "ipconfig" from guest OS?. no need to apologize :) [00:07] adi__: That's right. I have been frustrated with this for some hours now. This is for XBMC too. [00:07] Killeroid: ive rarely seen a need for Seperate X displays. [00:07] saif: u're welcome. too bad we weren't able to help.

[00:08] samosa: just ask the channel [00:08] !pm | samosa [00:08] samosa: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [00:09] I ran memtest86 and got 88 errors, my question is, i am running e7200 @ 3.00ghz , 2x1gig ram @948mhz.....I need to get new memory would it be wise to get 1066mhz ram or 800mhz....(I got 800mhz before which i think is what made it corrupted....) [00:09] just tried to activate wifi card under Hardware drivers it said it was using another version of the driver then after activate said that it had been recently deactivated but was still in use [00:09] mobi-sheep, try too gstreamer-properties in terminal, maybe can help for u [00:09] smerz: http://pastebin.com/m582976fd [00:10] adi__: gstreamer-properties not installed. Should I go ahead and install it? (If you truly think it'll help me). [00:10] samosa: you may want to try removing/cleaning/reseating the ram and retesting/switch ram/sockets. and try ram in just 1 socket.. I had a MB once that one ram socket was bad. no mater what i put in it. [00:10] samosa, i would prolly get the 1066, just to make sure the ram could handle what was sent to it [00:10] saif: thanks. and 192.168.5.1 is not pingable? second question if the network settings are on NAT in VBox can you browse the web from guest OS ? [00:10] mobi-sheep, install with synaptic [00:10] hi guys! I have a problem. My ubuntu server doesn't start up again after an update... It freezes at "Starting Up..." right after GRUB. how can i make that part of the boot more verbose, so i can see more closely why it hangs ? [00:11] smerz : i cant ping in either cases and i dont have internet on the guest [00:11] adi__: sudo aptitude (will be sufficent). I should point out I have no GUI. [00:11] Heller_Barde: ctrl + alt + f1 i think [00:11] smerz: in GRUB? [00:11] mobi-sheep, apt-get install packet [00:11] Heller_Barde: after grub. that should give you the verbose output [00:11] is there a netbook remix channel? [00:11] Heller_Barde: edit the grub lines (hit e i think) and use noquiet at the end. there may be a 'verbose' option you can append also. [00:11] smerz: I don't even get to the splashscreen [00:11] Dr_Willis: oh thanks [00:12] ok thanks [00:12] Heller_Barde, I have the same problem with my 8.04 desktop lately ... [00:12] saif: thats weird. if you set it to NAT in vbox then you should get inet. well I really dont know whats the issue then sorry :( [00:12] after update to 9.04 atheros ar5007 card not working anymore tried reactivation of driver through Hardware drivers with no luck [00:12] Heller_Barde: i normally use 'nosplash nofb verbose noquiet' but some of those optons may be incorrect/redundant. Ive not messed with it in ages. [00:13] smerz : no problem ...i `ll search and if i solved it i `ll tell u :D [00:13] Dr_Willis: thanks, but it seems that my computer hangs even before these options even apply [00:13] Dr_Willis, that sounds like a good place to start [00:13] Heller_Barde: well i dunno. i think ctrl + alt + f1 right after grub should get you the verbose output, ought to be quick then or something ;D [00:13] smerz: will try, thanks [00:13] Heller_Barde: thats very odd then.. its hanging befor the kernel even loads.. or soon after it loads eh. [00:13] Heller_Barde: it only has the one kernel entry in the menus? [00:13] * Don_Miguel goes to look for more info [00:14] Dr_Willis: yep... only one, it's a very young ubuntu installation [00:14] is there a way to take a partition out of an extended volume? [00:14] Does anyone know how do you defrag on ubuntu/linux? [00:14] thesandman: there is no need to defrag the linux file systems [00:14] thesandman: thers rarely ever a need to deffrag ext2/3/4 filesystems [00:14] How do I find where the or a screen-saver thing is so I can edit it?

I just buy an original DVD and it is not playing in ubuntu. I already played protected DVDs before (css). This DVD seems to fail in decrypting. any hints? [00:15] soulwarp 'wget URL' [00:15] vigo, or display settings [00:15] IM MAN [00:15] oops, too late [00:16] pzn: rip it to video.avi perhaps? i always seem to do that. [00:16] Dr_Willis: I know it's not but I wanted to know that also [00:16] ANY GRILD TALKING [00:16] adi__: I want to edit the Matrix one and insert AYB stuff into it.

Anyhow i manage to fix the computer by uninstalling wubi. Any suggestions why that happend? Wubi should work fine on same partition. Btw my OS is vista :( [00:17] adi__: Thank you kindly. Now fun time! [00:17] can you make xchat open links as I click them? Not to have to right click on link and chose "Open in browser" [00:17] Dr_Willis, try mplayer [00:17] pzn: some info here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs [00:17] !caps | GERSON [00:17] GERSON: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT!

[00:17] TRAVEL PERU [00:17] does anyone here use netsus [00:18] IM SEEKING PERON WORK [00:19] Dr_Willis, i never understood why copy programs couldnt just act as a dvd player and output frames to a file instead of showing them O.o [00:19] Dr_Willis: I have that a similar problem my self [00:19] GERSON: stop sending me messages [00:20] MK13: no, you'll need to rebuild it. But ubuntu doesn't care what kind of partition it is providing its valid so I'm not sure why you're asking the question? [00:20] how can i install a compiler for c++? when i try i get this error [00:20] Media Change: Please insert the disc labeled 'Ubuntu 9.04 _Jaunty Jackalope_ - Release amd64 (20090420.1)' in the drive '/cdrom/' and press [Enter]. [00:20] but my ubuntu cd is in :( [00:20] shaullx, change the dvd unit or try to install from a external unit [00:21] ANY GIRLD TI TSLKING [00:21] how do i do that [00:21] HI [00:21] anyone manage to get Juniper Network Connect working on 64 bit 9.04? [00:21] wait u mean the dvd burner? [00:21] the device? [00:21] Dr_Willis, i have some weirdness with ubuntu netbook remix. i have been trying to optimise the boot time of the system. bootchart tells me that the system halts for 5 seconds while running a process called resume. where is the best place to ask about this? is there a dedicated UNR channel? [00:21] shaullx, if u have one just plug the usb and done [00:21] Jeruvy, cause i have a partition in an extended volume from when i had too many primary partitions and just want to have all primary partitions [00:21] shaullx, yes, device [00:21] scunizi, deany remember me complaining about my vm ubuntu install freezing? [00:21] the device works.. [00:21] i can read the cd [00:21] MK13: you can only have 4 [00:22] it doesnt labeled Ubuntu 9.04 _Jaunty Jackalope_ - Release amd64 thought [00:22] Does anyone know how to sync an iphone 2G with Ubuntu? Amarok? [00:22] shaullx, try to rewrite the ubuntu on a virgin cd [00:22] i just burned it [00:22] shaullx, at low speed [00:22] MK13: if you want more than 4 partitions you need to convert one of the 4 partitions into an extended partition. within that extended partition you can create more partitions [00:22] i think it because of the label could it be? [00:22] scunizi, deany I figured out ... when my download speeds > 1.1 MiB/s is when it happens.. i switched to the intel PRO/1000 MT Server and the problem seems to have left [00:22] shaullx, could be yes [00:23] smerz: try and keep up eh ;) [00:23] smerz,... i had already done that... now i have less partitions and want to turn an extended into a primary [00:23] what is the best image burner? [00:23] ah well while im here i try to help :o) [00:23] :O [00:23] shaullx, did u make the checksum of the iso? [00:23] no [00:23] MK13: the best bet would be to image the partition, wipe it out, and recreate it as primary then restore it [00:23] MK13: ok so if you have 3 partitions now. you can create a new 4th partition but be sure it is an extended partition [00:23] when I press Ctrl Alt Supr (Ctrl Alt Del) in tty, computer reboots. I know there is a config file to change this to shutdown instead, which file is it? [00:24] shaullx, 8X for a data cd, 4X audio cd [00:24] i will now but what is the best image burner i can get? [00:24] Jeruvy,i was just about to ask that [00:24] shaullx, k3b on linux or nero in windoz [00:24] !best | shaullx [00:24] shaullx: 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. [00:24] k3b it is then:) [00:24] smerz, i dont want to create a new partition... [00:25] Hi guys. [00:25] Can you guys please help me [00:25] MK13: oh sorry. i thought you wanted more than 4 partitions. my bad then :) [00:25] shaullx, the easy one it's brasero [00:25] Version 7.10 Doenst have TCL pre-installed!

[00:25] !package tcl [00:25] Sorry, I don't know anything about package tcl [00:25] GArReT`, Ubuntu has names [00:25] smerz, appreciate your enthusiasm tho :D [00:25] instead of numbers.

[00:27] !package tcltk-defaults [00:27] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [00:27] smerz, tried that and i tried tclx8.4 as well [00:27] same error [00:28] and yes Cream, it is for eggdrop [00:28] ja [00:28] adi_ how should i label the cd? [00:28] just let it blank [00:28] GArReT`: try looking for 'tcl' in synaptic, you should find the packages easier. [00:29] is that a website or in Ubuntu? [00:29] GArReT`: nope, 'accessories -> add/remove' [00:29] lol i've been there as well! [00:29] :( [00:29] GArReT`: hmm ok one sec. [00:30] gardar [00:30] GArReT`, simply sudo apt-get install eggdrop [00:30] it'll install tcl along the way. [00:30] GArReT`: try "tclx8.3" that package exists in 6.04 [00:30] GArReT`, try from terminal apt-get install tcl8.3 for me works [00:31] adi__, what version do you have? [00:31] or creams solution should give you the dependencies too [00:31] GArReT`, yes [00:31] and smerz, i really really did try that! it gives an error [00:31] GArReT`: http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/tcl [00:31] GArReT`, it's already installed nnow [00:31] I'll send you the error as soon as the fresh copy of ubuntu is installed onto my pc again [00:31] ubuntu shit [00:32] I'm trying out a dark theme in gnome and no matter what colors I change the text to I can't seem to change the default dark blue for all URL's through out gnome. Firfox is the only program that lets me change URL colors. How do I change it for all of gnome? [00:33] GArReT`: i understand you tried "tclx8.4" but did you try the older version "tcl8.3" and/or "tcxl" ? my apologies for asking ;) [00:33] GArReT`: correction "tclx8.3" sorry [00:33] hmm.. no i dont remember trying.. [00:33] hi, I'm having a problem: I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 and when I use my wi-fi usb to connect to my PSP through ad-hoc, it connects, but when I run "ifconfig", it doesn't apper, only with "-a". Because of that, a program called xLink Kai isn't working properly. When I try "sudo ifconfig wlan up", it says "access denied". What can I do?? [00:33] I will try this as soon as its done installing again... then you can see the errors i'm getting [00:34] alrighty :) [00:34] hi everyone, i have done an upgrade on my box and now X is hosed.

I have been trying to correct a problem I am having with my display defaulting to 640*480 from 1024*768 fpr my nvidia geforce fx 5200. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the recommended 173 driver about a dozen times using the package manager and envyng. I have selected and unselected it from the hardware driver windows, used a different driver and all that - still no change. Help anyone? Thanks. [00:34] ctrl+alt+backspace don't even work, any ideas? i'm guessing that it is a messed up video driver [00:35] hi, is there a way to free memory usage?. Apache is consuming a lot of memory so i killed it. But mamory remains used. [00:35] Can someone help me with SSHFS?

[00:36] Adola: mountpoint exists ? [00:36] adi: nothing happened [00:36] aless12: use `top` to see what is taking up the memory and then use "k" to kill the process ID [00:36] losher: Both are empty. [00:36] smerz: ok, how do i get it to work ;) [00:36] anyone able to run Juniper Network Connect with 64 bit 9.04??? [00:37] Adola: just for the heck of it create another directory and mount it in there [00:37] adi__, start--system-preferences ? [00:37] I have issues with the nvidia-settings dialogue.. I have 2 monitors,and want to separate them. Which I can do easily... however the "main" scren defaults to the incorrect screen... how can I change that?? [00:37] Adola: *both*? I thought we were talking about a single mount point? [00:37] z3ro3x, yes [00:37] mick_laptop: there is a patch to get the old behaviour back. i just dont know where it is :D maybe google or someone else here knows it [00:38] losher: yeah, sorry, only one mountpoint. [00:38] smerz: you know how painful it is to find anything w/ links or w3m? [00:38] I want to copy files from my desktop to my laptop. [00:38] KillGorack,explicitally set the size instead of having it as auto? [00:38] z3ro3x, search themes...or something like this there. in it u can change the font and colors [00:38] adi__, Do I type that in shell because it came up command not found. [00:38] Adola: and empty when checked with 'ls -al' ? [00:39] mick_laptop: i guess not. but i dont know where that patch is. so my guess is as good as yours ;) [00:39] Hidden files? [00:39] z3ro3x, no. in taskbar u have applications, resources and system [00:39] losher: Hidden files? [00:39] in system---preff. and look in there [00:39] Adola: yes, hidden files....

[00:40] adi: display settings only give me 640*480 [00:40] z3ro3x, yes [00:40] what do i have to be careful about to reinstall grub? should grub-install /dev/sda do the trick ( no i don't care about data-loss, everything is safely backupped ) [00:40] why are my compiz fusion effect are not enabled on startup/ [00:40] ?

[00:42] adi: appearance does not allow you to change the display resolution, or am I misunderstanding? [00:42] if i hook that up i get no sound from the back [00:42] adi__, I tried that. Under the Theme tab and Customize at the bottom. Then Colors. It gives you 4 options for Background and Text and none of these have any effect on the color of URLs on web sites.

[00:44] KillGorack,that is what i do to go into dual screen :) [00:44] well mick i gotta boot windows now to update my firmware on my mobile. hopefully it fixes an issue of my own [00:44] mick_laptop: they changed that key combination [00:44] thedarkone, it's namedd bypass. if u plugin in back u don't have sound in front. must work in this way [00:44] i'll press ctrl alt backspace now. if i like timeout it has worked ;D [00:44] ok it doesn't work :P [00:45] as i said heh [00:45] gotta go now. good luck though [00:45] mik3, it's being finiky [00:45] mick_laptop: the new key comboination is alt-SysRg + k [00:45] brb [00:45] is there an easy way to save a file from an http server without using a browser like firefox [00:46] assuming i know the url? [00:46] xim_, wget url [00:46] bacon1989: what? [00:46] wget [00:46] :) [00:46] mik3 adi__ thanks [00:46] xim: wget -c url [00:46] bacon1989: what key prey tell is SysRg [00:47] how upgrade firefox to firefox 3.5 with repo ? [00:47] zim: -c option = auto-resume [00:47] mick_laptop: you wre trying to restart the xserver with ctrl-alt-baclspace. that was removed in jaunty === Orochimaru is now known as edson [00:47] tiyowan: cool thanks! [00:47] mick_laptop: they changed that key combination to alt-sysreq-k [00:47] bacon1989: know who removed that? [00:47] bacon1989, and change the rezolution with a shortcut? [00:47] i miss xchat while not on ubuntu D: [00:47] ah i now see that key [00:47] I just ran "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install firefox-3.5", but it did not replace the previous version of firefox and did not but it in the applications menu, why? [00:47] mik3, still when I get back in it's all reversed the main screen is the incorrect screen... [00:48] KillGorack,sometime i have to go back and forth clicking "main" until it does correctly [00:48] no, i don't [00:48] mik3,click main? where is that? [00:48] Is it not working for Ubuntu yet? [00:48] mick_laptop: you can re-enable ctrl-alt-backspace [00:49] i hate it when someone breaks expected functionality (for over 10 years i've used that key combo) [00:49] yeah, i don't know why either [00:49] KillGorack, or what ever button it is to set the default monitor at 0,0; I can't go into detail b/c i am on Vista atm :( [00:49] bacon1989, there is a shortcut to change the resolution like before with alt ctrl + ? [00:49] Vista sucks more then XP [00:49] it was claimed the key combination was messing with some netbooks due to the different keyboard layouts [00:49] mick_laptop: open a terminal, sudo dontzap --disable [00:49] MIK3, once you do the "seperate" x-screen" off.. that check box goes away... [00:50] GArReT`, right [00:50] but why not make thier netbooks an excpetion then? [00:50] mick_laptop: the rationalle was "accidental" implementation of the formentioned key combo.. DOH! [00:50] just add it to the netbook release [00:50] mick_laptop sudo apt-get install dontzap first === M1K3 is now known as MK13 [00:50] mick_laptop sudo apt-get install dontzap && sudo dontzap --disable [00:50] should do the trick [00:51] KillGorack, i am about to switch to ubuntu to help you out, brb [00:51] hello ppl! can u tell me how to change the logonscreen and startup sound [00:51] ?? [00:51] purepain: why would you --disable ?? doesn't that disable the install of dontzap? [00:51] aight [00:52] mick_laptop: what purepain said [00:52] startup / logon [00:52] scunizi: "dontzap the xserver when ctrl-alt-backspace is pressed" disable to disable [00:53] indeed :D [00:53] tiyowan: --disable to disable ctrl+alt+backspace? then why instlal dontzap to begin with? [00:53] *install [00:53] i am not able to Enabling SHMConfig [00:53] scunizi: because dontzap is a convenient utility that edits the option in your x.org conf file [00:53] disable the zapping of that combination I guess [00:53] lol [00:53] scunizi: you don't need to install dontzap, you could add in the option into your x.org conf file manually [00:54] hello ppl! can u tell me how to change the logonscreen and startup / logon sound?? [00:54] scunizi: Section "ServerFlags" Option "DontZap" "false" EndSection [00:54] can i get help to enable SHMConfig in ubuntu 8.04. i do not know how to properly edit the xorg.conf file. [00:54] scunizi, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/DontZap [00:54] hey, i removed my old Sound Blaster Live! and installed an Audigy 2, and now i don't have any sound... what should i do? [00:55] tiyowan: that I understand .. and the install of dontzap edits xorg to restore the older key combo.. but then --disable removes the old key combo .. or am I backwards on this? [00:55] scunizi: --disable instructs the dontzap utility to -insert- the "dontzap" "false" option in your x.org conf file. === Cream is now known as Cream|GONE [00:56] scunizi: it is enabled by default in the new x.org, so you have to explicitly put in the option to disable it [00:56] tiyowan: ah.. I just looked at the link adi__ gave me.. and my "logic" thinking was reversed.. I understand now.. [00:57] scunizi: :) [00:57] anyone here have knowledge of dual monitors (separate X screens) and knowing how to switch the monitors around? [00:58] Hi, I need some assistance with java. Can any one help? [00:58] :-D [00:58] !ask | TheNewGuy [00:58] TheNewGuy: 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. :-) [00:58] KillGorack: nvidia? and weren't you on a day or so ago looking to be able to move an open window from one screen to the other? [00:58] KillGorack, u there? [00:58] scunizi, no, I was not.. [00:58] mik3 yea [00:59] KillGorack: k.. just wondered.. with nvidia dual monitor is pretty easy [01:00] bye all [01:00] any large packages that are safe to drop out? I'm running out of upgrade space on my eee ... [01:00] KillGorack, are you goingserperate x screens, or twin view? [01:00] I have the physical monitors set up.. (larger main one" to the left of the smaller one.. I have the larger ones position set as absolute 0, 0.. and the smaller one set as "right of" [01:00] seperate!! [01:00] i have the latest java in stalled on the latest umbutu. I am trying to download a java ap and when I open the down load window it suggests a file to associate with my download. the one that it suggests is wrong that the download fails. what file do I need to associate it with. I assume the Java exe, but I'm the new guy and don't really know. [01:00] i can't figure out how to enable compiz with emerald. i have no window manager after I enable compiz in the appearance tab. [01:00] i use twin view :O [01:00] MK13, separate [01:01] KillGorack, i use twinview [01:01] some speaks spanish? [01:01] KillGorack, so i dunno about sep x [01:01] !es | Shadowboss [01:01] Shadowboss: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [01:01] how do you keep games from NOT taking up both screens? [01:01] KillGorack: using xinerama? [01:01] mazda01 emerald --replace in terminal [01:01] that is off [01:01] ok [01:01] TheNewGuy: What extension does the file you're trying to download have? [01:01] scunizi that option os not checked.. not sure what it os [01:01] is* [01:01] jnlp [01:02] I may have larger issues...list to the left X Screen 0 is the smaller screen, but under the GPU 0 tree it has that same monitor listed as CRT-1 (its not even a CRT) [01:02] Paranoidi, try cleaning system... or reinstall the system on first ssd and the /home on second ssd the 16gb [01:02] KillGorack: pre change of Xorg. and on older nvidia drivers back when xorg was hand configured, xinerama worked great for seperate dual monitors [01:02] adi__: tried cleaning (apt-get clean, janitor) and home is on 16gb ssd [01:02] KillGorack: is this an nvidia card or what? [01:03] Paranoidi, it's all u can do [01:03] scunizi, I'm not awesome at configuring stuff.. I'd probably just get back to windows before something like that happenend [01:03] :-( [01:03] yea.. 9400GT [01:03] more then this...? uninstall progs u don't need [01:03] Killeroid: is the monitor coming up as CRT-1 connected by VGA? [01:03] KillGorack: and are you using the drivers provided by ubuntu or did you install drivers direct from nvidia? [01:03] Yea.. thats why it says CRT? [01:03] is anyone familiar with intel video cards + ubuntu? [01:04] I have a question. I am trying to play multiplayer games and I cannot connect to any servers on any game is there a dependency that I need to install [01:04] ty you there? [01:04] furrySatan, which one? [01:04] KillGorack: yes, i had my TFT come up as CRT-0 or CRT-1 if i had it plugged in via VGA [01:04] through the hardware drivers via the admin menu [01:04] KillGorack: The VGA conversion prevents it from detectin the monitor properly [01:04] KillGorack: When you go to System>Admin> is there an option for Nvidia x server settings? [01:05] can i get help enabling shmconfig? [01:05] it was set up at install correctly.. when as twinview and could not go back to the way it was ;-/ [01:05] yea scunizi that's where I am now [01:05] sudo nvidia-settings [01:05] i have tried adding entry in xorg.conf but i do not know how to do it correct obviously [01:05] TheNewGuy: I'm checking. [01:06] is there a way to get a complete list of applications on your system? i have down loaded stuff from the repositories and they don't show up anywhere. [01:07] TheNewGuy: Applications -> Add/Remove, or System -> Administration -> Synaptic [01:07] KillGorack: with that utility you can try enabling the xinerama setting .. log out and then back in and see how it works.. you might be pleasantly supprised. [01:07] can't get emerald compiz going. any suggestions? [01:07] adi__: naah, there are useless packages here and there .. just having hard time finding those which don't want to remove ie gnome-desktop as well =) [01:07] mazda01 emerald --replace in terminal or alt + F2 and emerald --replace [01:08] thanks ty, [01:08] why would X Screen 0, show up as CRT-1, and X Screen 1 show up as DFP-0 within the GPU tree towards the bottom of the list.. are they mixed up somehow?? [01:08] KillGorack: but for it to save the setting I believe you have to start nvidia-settings from the terminal using sudo to be able to overwrite xorg correctly.. that way when you restart the changes will be there.. backup xorg first before doing that though. [01:08] ty this is a java aplication [01:08] yea scunizi I get that part.. I can go back to twqin view easily.. [01:08] what is the website you go to to see if a particular piece of hardware is supported on Ubuntu? [01:09] KillGorack: ive rarely seen a need for seperate X sessions. I alwayys use twinview. [01:09] !hcl > budo [01:09] budo, please see my private message [01:09] dr-willis, how do you keep video games from taking both screens/ [01:09] Paranoidi, space on eee will be ever a big problem. i've sell my 900 and buyed a 1000. 160gb...no more pain [01:09] KillGorack: sometimes the computer isn't receiving the info from your monitor through the vga adaptor so it defaults to crt.. if its working don't fix it. [01:09] I need to associate a file to java. What is the java application name.. specifically or how do I find it? [01:09] Dr_Willis, i think he likes playing games on one x instance, and app on the other [01:10] KillGorack: the only programs ive seen that take over 'both' are badly written ones.. and some java apps. [01:10] Apart from Evolution, what Palm client(s) work with the conduit stuff in Gnome? I'm used to using jpilot, which talk directly to the serial device [01:10] KillGorack: i play a great many games.. and they fullscreen on only one monitor. [01:10] purepain, i tried that. it merely makes it so that desktop is nothing, no window manager. I don't see anything? it's like there a theme or something missing. [01:10] adi__: except now you have lower battery life and brekable moving parts =) [01:10] Dr_Willis: I've seen most full screen games take both monitors using twinview in the default mode. [01:10] Right guys i'm back [01:10] dr_willis even the linux community isn't safe from badly written stuff ;0) doesn't mean I don't wanna run it.. [01:10] scunizi: ive never had that issue. [01:11] KillGorack: you could also use the xrandr stuff to temparly disable the 2nd monitor. [01:11] Paranoidi, no...autonomy from 3...to 6 hours [01:11] I have other issues I think then. [01:11] I've tried "tcl8.3" and that didnt work neahter guys [01:11] KillGorack: what game are you refering to? [01:11] I have a question. I am trying to play multiplayer games and I cannot connect to any servers on any game is there a dependency that I need to install [01:11] I know.. it worked perfectly at one time.. just wanna get it back to the way it was.. [01:11] Paranoidi, with kpowersave. works better [01:11] Dr_Willis: I haven't tried in a while due to a lack of another monitor.. and I was using an older release [01:11] Dr_Willis: nvidia-settings doesn't support xrandr, so by default it wouldn't be enabled [01:11] mazda01 is the newest version of emerald installed (sudo apt-get install emerald)? [01:11] tremulus [01:11] adi__: I guess one could place the package download location to larger ssd by mount binding or something [01:11] hey guys, whats the command to list used Ports through terminal? [01:12] I am down loading a file in umbutu, how do i set the down load location? [01:12] sauerbraten also [01:12] blaah: netstat? === niblgo is now known as goblin [01:12] no one know how to enable shmconfig? i thought it was a simple procedure, i have tried to enter it like it said in the ubuntu forum, but obviously i cant do it. [01:12] KillGorack: intalling trem. now.. that game always makes me dizzy and pukey tho. :) [01:12] Paranoidi, u can change the second ssd. the big one with a 32gb or 130gb...but it's not cheap. 300 euro a ssd 130gb on ebay :D [01:12] mralexandro: i recall researching that once befor.. its some hal/fdi config file you edit. [01:12] Dr_Willis, u must play as alien [01:12] heh it's ok.. I like it.. runs on linux-gamers live usb pretty good [01:13] MK13: i dont play much at all now. :) everyone else was always the marines... [01:13] yea hard to get in there and not be a bug [01:13] I do like Savage2 [01:13] adi__: yeah, or place 1.8" hdd .. if not degraded motherboard (haven't checked) [01:13] Can you down load files with umbutu? [01:13] TheNewGuy: err.. yes... you can download files with ubuntu. [01:13] Paranoidi, doesn't fit in [01:14] ok. thank you. @ ubottu [01:14] great, how do I set the path for the files? [01:14] Dr_Willis, sadly i still depend on windows for games :( [01:14] TheNewGuy: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1020808&highlight=jnlp&page=2 [01:14] TheNewGuy: depends on what/how you are downloading it. [01:14] MK13: ive gotten where i dont need games. :P [01:14] adi__: err? sure it does, I've seen tutorials for that at least [01:14] Save File As [01:14] or look in Desktop [01:14] Paranoidi, i'm talking about easy ways...not how to destroy a netbook :P [01:14] MK13: I would be a good experiment to try the latest Vbox which support directx 8 & 9.. unless your games need 10+ [01:14] Dr_Willis, i have tried that. can you direct me to the correct guide, or the one you read? [01:15] adi__: this is at least with 901 that I have [01:15] purepain, i am using hardy heron. but yes, i installed emerald [01:15] mralexandro: not really - i researched it for someone ages ago.. I might have it tagged on my delicious links. [01:15] ok,.... not really sure how to answer that. I click on an Icon and a down load window pops up. === root is now known as Guest96095 [01:15] adi__: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJdNQk5AfkE [01:15] Dr_Willis, alright:) please let me know if you find it again:) [01:15] Paranoidi, aha, thks. [01:16] mazda01 and you have enabled a theme in emerald theme manager (system I am not given an option to select the location. Seems like a simple thing... I am surprised that linux does not have that feature yet on a download window. [01:16] scunizi, what kinda of specs would i need? [01:16] mralexandro: it may be one of the many links i got tagged at --> http://delicious.com/dr_willis [01:16] purepain, i don't know how? I have something called Advanced Desktop Effects Settings [01:17] TheNewGuy: features in 'firefox' are not 'linux features' [01:17] MK13: not sure.. you might ask in #vbox or check their site.. [01:17] How do I tell if this ubuntu is running the 64-bit version or the 32? [01:17] I'll be right back.. [01:17] TheNewGuy: do you know how to right click on a dl link and select Save As ? [01:17] fiber_cut: uname -a [01:17] TheNewGuy: are you referring to downloading in Firefox? if so check it's options and enable "ask every time".. [01:17] Dr_Willis, i will check it then:) [01:17] That doesnt tell me [01:18] TheNewGuy: then you can choose the download location. [01:18] scunizi, might give that a try... then i could run windows in vbox for games and visual studio [01:18] scunizi, why would I want to save the link? IU need the file [01:18] thks Paranoidi. nice video [01:18] Linux abrandt-laptop-fujitsu 2.6.28-13-generic #45-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jun 30 19:49:51 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux [01:18] TheNewGuy: it for the download not the link [01:18] adi__: yeah, unfortunately asus did remove the ZIF(?) connector from motherboard at some point [01:18] mralexandro: i think i found it -->> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad#shmconfig [01:19] TheNewGuy: the link points to the file.... [01:19] yes it does but when I save the link and click on the link, I have the same problem. [01:19] fiber_cut: the i686 at the end means that its 32bit [01:19] TheNewGuy: You need to set .jnlp files to open with /usr/bin/javaws [01:20] Paranoidi, :))) didn't know if the hdd comes with the flat cable :D [01:20] TheNewGuy: then you dident save the right link.... - then again.. if this is about java stuff.. no idea. I dont mess with jnlp [01:20] TheNewGuy: you're doing something wrong.. the behavoir is the same in windows or linux when using Firefox to download a file. [01:20] Dr_Willis, thanks, that is the same guide i tried. it is not the hal file guide, it is a link to that on the bottom of that page, but that guide should work, allthough it didnt [01:20] anyone know if eee 901 hardware works on default 9.10 kernel? [01:20] how do you open .sh files [01:20] Paranoidi, yes, works [01:21] mralexandro: no idea. thats all ive tried and it worked.. i recall. [01:21] sage_: run then with sh or bash [01:21] k [01:21] how about this, since it is a firefox browser window, I could go into prefrences and change them there. Good idea? [01:21] adi__: all of it? since I don't think it worked even with 9.04 [01:21] sage_, to run or edit? [01:21] Paranoidi, works well both [01:21] run MK13 [01:21] webcam and all stuff [01:21] TheNewGuy: I said options but ment Preferences.. yes that is the location to change the download behavoir [01:22] how do i list or change user modes of irc? [01:22] Paranoidi, the only problem u must remove sound module first of power off [01:22] k [01:22] Dr_Willis, do you recal what you did after you had added the content to the file. or if there was any other content in the file. like could i ask you what you have on that file now, cause mine was blank beofre i added the stuff from this guide [01:22] adi__: wth? [01:22] ewsubach: which client do you use? [01:22] otherwise will not power off. it's a bug but work well [01:22] lstarnes: xchat [01:22] got it never mind all [01:22] ewsubach: /umode [01:22] Ty, that is a link to a suggestion that does not work. according to the last person that posted. [01:23] dr_willis, xinerama is ok.. just the screens are still freaking backwards.. ;-/ [01:23] mralexandro: that was a few installs ago.. I dont even thinki have that laptop any more. [01:23] sage_, oh i just usually drag them to an open terminal (i get lazy :) [01:23] lstarnes: thanks [01:23] Paranoidi, doesn't power off [01:23] adi__: hmmh.. http://array.org/ubuntu/ seems to claim that not everything works in 9.04 with default kernel [01:23] alright [01:23] :D [01:23] Dr_Willis, thank anyways [01:23] KillGorack: twinview is 'xinerma+extrafeatures' - Just using 'xinerma' can cause issues.. its the twinview extensions that enable the smarter 'features' [01:24] Paranoidi, i don't lnow what to say. myne was working well. the only thing was the audio module. [01:24] Dr_Willis: didn't know that. [01:24] all the rest was fine [01:24] TheNewGuy: "Thanks, that worked. I set ".jnlp" files to open with /usr/bin/javaws and that seems to work." [01:24] adi__: hmm, how about turning wifi/bluetooth on/off with those extra buttons? [01:24] KillGorack: tremulus seems really really brain dead. :) it did 'full screen'' to the wrong screen.. and was off position by 1/2 the screen [01:24] TheNewGuy: Could you try it though? :) [01:24] KillGorack, try flipping them the other way? [01:25] I don't know how to try it. [01:25] I would like to. [01:25] dr_willis yea that's what I get.. it plops it in the middle. === restor_ is now known as Mau [01:25] MK13 I hope you dont mean physically do you? [01:25] Paranoidi, wi-fi works with propretary drivers. myne was without bluetooth === Mau is now known as mau_restor [01:26] Paranoidi, try live cd and u'll see. if u have a usb unit [01:26] hello everyone [01:27] hi [01:27] KillGorack: i edited the config file and told it to not go 'fullscreen' and gave it a proper res for the window. it is at least now appearing in a window and is playable. :) [01:27] how can i setup a wired network using ethernet between ubuntu and vista pcs? [01:27] im having trouble installing programs and would appreciate any assistance [01:27] TheNewGuy: You need to download the jnlp file, right-click it, select properties, open with, and select the application [01:27] KillGorack: it even defaulted to the wrong res for the monitor it was appearing on.. [01:28] dlling cedega [01:28] ok, will try [01:28] dr_willis, thanks I've been there too not satisfied with it..

[01:28] what is the "panning" option for? [01:29] can someone help me [01:29] KillGorack: or try the xrandr trick to disale the 2nd monitor.. run game.. exit game.. reneable 2nd monitor. [01:29] i am trying to connect 2 pcs 1 vista 1 ubunty [01:29] sooki: you can't resize while the partition is mounted.. boot to the live cd and use that to adjust [01:29] for instance, i downloaded a program and the instructions say that i have to compile it or build it [01:29] ive never done this [01:30] hehe dr_willis why would I do that when it's worked before.. just gotta get it to where it was before.. [01:30] sooki, it's hard. the fast way...reinstall it [01:30] buckwild: this is why theres repositories of precompiles stuff.. [01:30] ok, that works... its a shame it does not work in the download window... I accociated it with the same file that was suggested in the download window. [01:30] I think I found the issue === g0d is now known as Guest54050 [01:30] KillGorack: so you broke it! shame! :) [01:30] Yes I broke it [01:30] buckwild, which program? [01:30] KillGorack: the aliens are eating your brainz [01:30] scunizi, it's the live CD that won't let me do it [01:30] buckwild: what program? did you check the repo's first for it? [01:30] maybe you can still help though [01:30] I guess I just have to down load and then associate the files manualy. [01:30] this meta mode button... [01:30] won't let me make it any bigger than its max size for whatever reason it doesn't say [01:30] lmms [01:30] TheNewGuy: You only need to associate them once [01:31] thats good. [01:31] when I click one monitor it seems to have infor for the other. [01:31] its for making music [01:31] I think my stuff is garbeleld [01:31] sooki: you might be looking at the live cd's /home and not your physical /home.. that's the only use case that I can think of unless you don't have the room to make it bigger. [01:31] anyone know the command for the screensaver setup utility? gnome-screensaver-???? [01:31] oh nevermind it has info for both screen there [01:31] thanks [01:32] brb [01:32] Dr_Willis, how do i install the synpatics touchpad driver? [01:32] mralexandro: from what i recall.. its allready installed. its part of the X stuff [01:32] buckwild, type in terminal apt-get install lmms [01:32] !find synaptics [01:32] Found: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics, gsynaptics, libsynaptics-dev, libsynaptics0 [01:33] no it's the normal install's /home partition, it's the same size it should be, about 15 times to size of gparted's live CD iso, and yes, i shrunk the / partition by about six gigs, it won't let me increase /home [01:33] mralexandro: that gsynapics tool can help configure it - or at least it used to work... [01:33] Dr_Willis, alright thanks. then i will just add it to my xorg folllowin guide [01:33] ops [01:33] but is there a way to just move /home onto the / partition and delete the /home partition and increase / to its full size? [01:33] mralexandro: some Upodates to X, have broken/changed some things with the synaptics drivers.. not sure how stable they have became lately [01:34] sooki: was /home right next to / ? and are you using the graphical "drag the bar" to increase the size [01:34] Dr_Willis, ok does that mean i should not add it'? [01:34] permission denied. i am the root user [01:34] buckwild, start --- accesories--- terminal. after in the window type apt-get install lmms. after say Y [01:34] mralexandro: try gsynaptics - see if it works for you. [01:34] mralexandro: ive not had to tweak the touchpads on my new laptops. [01:34] ok [01:34] buckwild, in terminal? [01:35] im new to ubuntu [01:35] yes in terminal [01:35] no, it appeared to be in its own tree branch sort of, don't know how to describe that, and no, i right clicked and chose move/resize, and then hit the up arrows on the max size or whatever's inputbox, and it would just try to add blank space before/after and actually make the partition smaller [01:35] buckwild, type sudo -s [01:35] Password: [01:35] buckwild, put the root password (your password) [01:36] i think its working :) [01:36] after type apt-get install lmms [01:36] sooki: the partitions are labeled sda, what is the labeling for / and for /home? [01:37] buckwild, now u'll find lmms in audio & video [01:37] cool. i hope this works. I appreciate your help :-D [01:37] umm, not sure, i'd have to boot back into to be sure [01:37] sooki: no.. the partition editor should tell you.. [01:38] one more cigar and good night ppl [01:38] :) [01:38] i'm in windows land at the moment :P [01:38] sooki: really hard to do this from there.. [01:38] i don't see it :( [01:38] sooki: the partitioning labelling is independent of the mount points [01:38] buckwild, did ask it to say yes for installing? [01:39] well, explore2fs states hda2 and hda4? [01:39] yes [01:39] i don't know how to get it to show from within windows [01:39] hi [01:39] I'm having sound problems in my jaunty install [01:39] and I think it all started when I uninstalled Totem [01:39] any clue or help? [01:39] buckwild, search in start---applications-audio and video or multimedia [01:39] hello, im having a problem with my sound... my sound card is the intel 82801G sound card.. its snd-intel for the kernel module it isnt legacy.. what do i need to do to get sound out of my computer? im running ubuntu 9.04 and stock alsa that it came with [01:40] Anyone here know where I can get a more up-to-date hplip in Jaunty? [01:40] buckwild, or simply type in terminal lmms [01:40] a dialog box came up [01:40] saying what? [01:41] \Device\Harddisk0\Partition1 and \Device\Harddisk0\Partition3 is what explore2fs says in detailed partition options [01:41] it just wanted me to define a working directory [01:41] how can i get the icon on the applications menu? [01:41] just hit ok [01:42] let me boot into it and see if we can figure this out [01:42] brb [01:42] buckwild, click right on desktop and choose new shortcut, in the field command type lmms, hit ok and exit [01:42] right click* [01:42] buckwild: use control center to add it. [01:42] ok. thanks [01:43] Hi I have a 4.4 gig iso file that I need to backup to CDR not DVD. Will any of the burners burn across CDRs? [01:43] whileimhere, a bootable image? [01:43] I'd like to get a certain minimal set of apps for an older box with no network access I've tried out the config i want on top of a xubuntu cd [01:44] No asi_ I dont think so [01:44] whileimhere: multisession.. maybe k3b but I'm not sure. [01:44] Its a Picasa backup ISO [01:44] Any way i can do a 'test' install, and use a second disk to install just what i want on top of a minimal install? [01:44] I want to backup my Photos but I do not own a DVD burner [01:44] whileimhere, split it with 7zip in chunks after burn it [01:44] I probably should just do them by hand [01:45] can anyone suggest a good book to give me a good start on learning how to use ubuntu properly?? [01:45] whileimhere: why not compress the disk and split it, or split it with a appropriate tool, or just mount the image, and seperate it into 700 mb chunks by hand? [01:45] adi__: 7zip? ;p [01:45] thought that was windows only [01:46] faileas, linux too. search in synaptic [01:46] bye ppl [01:46] nice chat [01:47] http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/ buckwild [01:47] adi__: thanks for all the assist everywhere :) [01:47] thx bazhang [01:48] i refuse to go back to windows and i am determined to learn this [01:48] lol [01:48] buckwild: that's half the battle.. :) [01:48] buckwild: To be honest, I learnt a lot of what i know right here ;p [01:48] * faileas don't need no stinky books ;p [01:49] lol [01:49] Can 7zip really do much compression on folders of jpgs? [01:49] that was one way i was planning to learn was in here [01:49] reading questions and people replies to questions [01:50] im trying to get my wife to let me install ubuntu on her PC. all she does is internet [01:50] how do list the devgid for my usb devices? [01:50] buckwild: my wife is windows xp home and she is much happier, she has tried my linux and finds it difficult, even though she has to do zero setup [01:51] we just never win [01:51] mb_again: she's comfortable and not open to learning something new right now.. [01:51] my mom can't even work windows. I set up a vnc server so when she needs help i can connect and do it for her [01:52] they even made this look like windows i'm so amazed [01:52] mb_again: occationally call her from someplace else and have her use your computer to look something up.. learn it so you can walk her through it on the phone.. :) forced learning [01:52] scunizi, /home is on /dev/sda1 and the rest is on /dev/sda2 [01:53] scunizi good idea. im gonna try that [01:53] different here, she is a power xl user and power word user, windows does not scare her. But she chose ooo over the cost of MS office, very happy with ooo picassa filezilla and firefox [01:53] sooki: the rest meaning / (root) ? [01:53] yeah [01:53] and the swap partition [01:53] I have a desktop comp that needs a wireless card (PCI) installed in it. It will never be able to get close enough to have an etho cable run to it. What kind of card am I looking for? Are they expensive? How compatible are they with Ubuntu? [01:53] but noone likes swap partitions cause they're loners [01:53] you guys have been great. now i know where to go for help. good night [01:54] sooki: ok when you reduced the size of root (sda2) did you reduce it from the end of the partition or the beginning? [01:54] !hcl | whileimhere [01:54] whileimhere: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [01:54] thanks [01:54] looks like fromt the beginning [01:55] whileimhere: i had good success with very cheap pcmcia cards on laptops, zero luck with usb wireless. i suggest carefully researching the cheapest add in pci cards available for good quality linux driver support [01:55] maybe === buntunub is now known as archdave [01:55] sooki: then you should be able to stretch the end of /home to the beginning of root [01:55] mb_again yeah. I was given a D510 compaq and everything works great with Ubuntu except I need wireless on it. === sagemode is now known as Guest70236 [01:56] how would i do that? [01:56] whileimhere: i will need to do that with a compaq craputer I gave to a nephew soon, similar model. my brother also does not want to run wires [01:57] mb_again I have been using it for photos and editing them mostly and with the 128 meg nvidia card I had laying around installed in it I cant tell the difference between my new laptop and it. [01:58] guys how do u watch mov files? [01:58] sooki: in the partition editor pick the partition with the drop down menu in the upper right and on the graphical display of the space used you should be able to drag the right or left edge of the partition in the direction needed.

[01:59] que onda [01:59] whileimhere: I just looked at the hw list (link posted above) and it is organized by manufacturer. shop, note models and prices, look them up. Should be quite easy. [01:59] well, it should, just really ugly-like as i haven't found the gtkqt lookike engine thing yet [02:00] and it looks the same as it does on the live CD [02:00] I recently destroyed my sound card due to static. Now, many programs wont even run because there are errors. Is there any ways I can remove the sound card or do something so that apps that try to use sound don't crash when they try to access my sound card? [02:00] sooki: did you just install recently? and if so are you dual booting? [02:00] yeah, just did a fresh install yesterday, i'm dual booting but winders is on a second drive [02:01] guys [02:01] how can i fix this error [02:01] checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables [02:01] curious if there are any cedega users that have nvidia twinview enabled here? Having some issues having both enabled. I know this isn't the cedega channel but its pretty dead in there :) [02:01] is there any way i can just move /home to / partition and just delete the /home one so i can expand / back, as i don't plan on switching distros, like ever [02:01] GArReT`: do you have build-essential package installed? [02:01] sooki: you could sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop from inside a termial if you wanted gnome.. kde is a different animal since 4.xx .. I haven't played with it. [02:01] earthmeLon, i dont think so [02:01] what is that? [02:02] sooki: you could also just reinstall and manually partition during the process [02:02] GArReT`: it contains the c compiler and packages needed to make it work [02:02] GArReT`: It's a package of commonly used files needed to do what you're doing. Try sudo apt-get build-essential [02:02] alguien que hable español [02:02] yeah, i was hoping to avoid that, but it wouldn't be a big issue [02:02] !es | alejandro_ [02:02] alejandro_: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés.

[02:02] sooki: you haven't accumulated anything that you can't do without.. a reinstall would only take 40 mins. or so. [02:02] it says invalid operation [02:02] yeah [02:03] Ruby: hi [02:03] GArReT`: It's a package of commonly used files needed to do what you're doing. Try sudo apt-get install build-essential [02:03] Can anyone help with pam modules and time.conf? [02:03] GArReT`: I added INSTALL to the line [02:03] My bad [02:03] Alright so I burned a disk [02:03] and its booting on the laptop [02:03] Ruby: ok good do you still have the ISO by the way? [02:03] alright, thanks for the help scunizi [02:03] Yes [02:03] No flash drive though [02:04] Ruby: ,because it's a good idea to do a little check to make sure your ISO downloaded properly [02:04] Check disk for defects? [02:04] Ruby: well there is that, but I think that's only to check the CD isn't scratched and such [02:04] ooo, dolphin has tabs [02:04] always a good idea to check iso files md5sums [02:04] !md5sum | Ruby [02:04] Ruby: To verify the integrity of a download, use the md5sum - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM for more [02:05] Also, GArReT`, when replying to what someone says, make sure you type their name. That way they get a notification and they know you're talking to them. You can type earth and then hit tab, and it will COMPLETE my nick [02:05] sooki: no problem.. I occationally run kubuntu in a vm in vbox.. nice.. but I need a production machine and kubuntu is still developing .. that is the new kde is still in growing pains.. it's pretty though.. I like it.

[02:08] bz is 7z whileimhere === Mr is now known as Guest113 [02:08] oh it is? [02:08] Ruby: still here? [02:08] whileimhere: Yeah, you would use 7z e file.tar.bz and then tar xvf file.tar [02:08] earthmeLon, ok its done.. what then?

[02:09] earthmeLon, it gives the same error [02:09] Says the hashes are different [02:09] Sebsebseb: yes [02:10] GArReT`: sudo apt-get install libc6-dev libc-dev [02:10] Ruby: ok so you get a program that does the MD5sum of the ISO, then the code you get should be the same as the one here: http://releases.ubuntu.com/jaunty/MD5SUMS [02:10] Ruby: that's what I was going to put before [02:10] alguien de veracruz para platicar [02:10] Yes [02:10] okay [02:10] !es | alejandro_ [02:10] alejandro_: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés.

[03:18] Gallimaufry, do you know how to burn an iso? [03:18] It states it runs my scripts but it doesn't do it propery from cron. I cannot see why as the logs just tell me it runs the scripts... [03:18] mike3: care to elaborate? [03:18] Gallimaufry: show us the link you used [03:18] mike3: ah. [03:18] how to install swfdec firefox plugin ? [03:18] Let me find it [03:18] this is for "dar" (for backing up your hard drive). what does this mean?: "Note that the reference backup can be another full backup or another differential backup. This way you can make a first full backup, then many differential backup, each taking as reference the last backup made." [03:18] hello [03:18] kebomix, can you find it under the firefox plugins on the mozilla site? that's the easiest way [03:18] wrong channel [03:18] kenyon - I have custom scripts I run via cron. I've ported them over from Gentoo. Cron shows that it executes them but it doesn't fully finish my custom scripts... [03:19] Sorry [03:19] mike3: can't you see from the cron log whats happening? Perhaps you don't understand ubuntu's methodology? It is considerabley different from some other distros. [03:19] kenyon All the scripts work fine manually launching them.. So what the heck is the deal. Is there anyway to get a detail log out put from cron..maybe there is an error [03:19] I have no idea [03:19] what happened [03:20] my internet just disengaged for a bit [03:20] kenyon: i like to soft link my custom scripts into /etc/cron.daily and hourly etc , that is all present on ubuntu and should work fine [03:20] mdg: from here http://fileshunt.com/rapidshare.php?file=ubuntu+setup+exe [03:20] mike: do you know what the thing is called to boot off cd into a boot loader and boot off the usb drive? [03:20] goose: it is not there it is firefox plugin for swfdec flash player program [03:20] jeruvy it says it launched the script. that's it [03:20] kebomix, ah, I'm not sure. I just installed VLC with the mozilla plugin :3 [03:20] mike3: the output of cron jobs is emailed to the user who ran the jobs. [03:20] mike3: my scripts will output notifications by design, and my logs reflect the same output. [03:21] goose: i installed it from sudo apt-get install swfdec-mozilla , but it doesn't appear on firefox plugins ! [03:21] Gallimaufry, the iso's come from www.ubuntu.com and you don't need windows to install it [03:21] goose: vlc runs flash !!

[03:22] goose: okay thx [03:22] jeruvy - okay well I dont' want to rewrite my scripts... These scripts work fine manually so I don't see why it won't from cron. [03:22] jeruvy cron just launches them at certain times.. That's it. [03:22] any one here runs swfdec plugin on firefox ?!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [03:22] Gallimaufry: I've never seen that before - I clicked the ubuntusetup.exe link (trusted version) three different times and it took me to three different websites [03:22] mike3: nor do I, perhaps you don't have them setup correctly [03:22] jeruvy what setup correctly??? [03:23] that was bogus! [03:23] mike3: I dunno...what exactly is the situation. ;) [03:23] Hi everyone. I'm using Twitux 0.62 in Ubuntu 8.04. Twitux had been working fine, but now I do not get the popup notifications when a twit arrives, even when the preference option is enabled. [03:23] jeruvy dont forget to check permissions ... very common issue [03:23] Ruby1: yeah I saw you disappear out of here [03:23] What could be the problem, how can i fix it? [03:23] mb_again: I've been bitten by that one myself :) thanks. [03:23] Yeah it just quit [03:24] hello? [03:24] Ruby1: ok is the folder shared now? [03:24] jeruvy the issueis that cron says it launched the cron jobs but yet the jobs don't seem to have launched correctly. I have a script that calls 4 other binaries and scripts and base off the logs from those applications they weren't run [03:24] anyone using kernel 2.6.30 and ati drivers? [03:24] Uh I deleted it because it just quit when it was set to shared [03:24] Ruby1: oh I see heh, ok well that shoudn't have disconnected your Internet [03:24] Ruby1: try again [03:25] hi [03:25] Hm === Ruby1 is now known as Ruby [03:25] mike3: which cron? User cron, root cron or crontab? [03:25] jeruvy user [03:25] hi Ruby ! [03:25] i am getting problem with pidgin ,it is not working your help pls [03:25] Ruby: did you get your stuff saved? [03:26] mdg: no she is going to do Samba, once she has the shared folder sorted out and that [03:26] mike3: ok and the script is executing within userspace and not seeking something outside of user permissions? [03:26] anyone with ati and kernel 2.6.30 [03:26] jeruvy - yep.. Like I said I can run it manually just fine [03:26] Yeah not yet [03:26] Can I install Ubuntu over my Vista and be able to switch between both anytime? [03:26] Ruby: bummer :( [03:27] Sam_: install over Vista? [03:27] alright [03:27] it may screw over [03:27] hi, Im new over here ..what's the most Important thing to know about this thing? [03:27] i apologize if it does [03:27] Hey guys [03:27] Ruby: just read what it says for doing a shared folder properly, and should be ok [03:27] Am I still here? [03:27] Yup [03:27] Ruby: yes [03:27] I am [03:27] Ruby: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:27] I set it to sharing [03:27] I mean I have vista installed, can i have both in the same machine [03:27] juves: dont give up at the first sign of trouble [03:27] mike3: if you run it now, and review /var/log/syslog for cron events what does it tell you? Is there anything from a previous failure? [03:27] that's a scary first advice :P [03:27] hi [03:28] any malay? [03:28] Sam_, you will need to dual boot [03:28] Sam_: you can dual boot, or with enough RAM virtual machine Vista, won't be that good for 3D Windows gaming though, altough Virtualbox 3.0 has some more support :) [03:28] Okay so its set to sharing, sebsebseb [03:28] jueves: you have something specific you need help with? [03:28] Now what [03:28] selemat pagi [03:28] I want to log in to my modem .. I wonder what is the IP? [03:28] help [03:28] hmm...actually not, I just needed some human company =P [03:28] Ruby: ok good [03:28] does anyone know anything about HDMI audio in ubuntu? I don't think it's detecting my HDMI sound device [03:28] is there an especific channel for that? [03:28] Ruby: your on the Live CD still yes? [03:28] M1K3: is that something that will be done automatically? [03:28] i cant update my pidgin to new version [03:28] or is ok, if I stay around here [03:28] ok i need some help configuring xserver-xorg [03:28] Yes [03:29] juves: with ubuntu now, almost everything <> but there are always bits around the edges. I love the installer, just ran it on five year old box, smooth as silk [03:29] It is [03:29] Ruby: install samba on the live cd [03:29] jeruvy - nope I get mail saying it was sucessfully ran [03:29] hmm, well i got this image on the usb drive, but my motherboard can't boot off a usb drive. i should be able to add an entry into grub, right? my usb device is coming up as sda. my hard drives are hda, hdb, hdc. any idea what sda would be in grub? [03:29] not true.. my webcam wont work in ubuntu [03:29] nothing that is the output of $route or $ifconfig apparently and unfortunately [03:29] !samba [03:29] 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. [03:29] Sam_, put the cd while in vista and then run wubi.exe that is on the cd [03:30] uh [03:30] wermse if it works, you can just goto the grub menu and hit "c" for command prompt then just type in "root = (hd" then hit tab and see if anything is listed beyond your normal disks [03:30] M1K3: wubi = bad [03:30] M1K3, wubi is fail, just boot from CD === Tiago is now known as Guest61674 [03:30] y? [03:30] Ruby: I think it's samba-common you want to install [03:30] Okay can you just simplify it, and have it redirect to where I should be reading [03:30] wubi bad? [03:30] can anyone tell me how to find the IP of my modem from the CL? [03:30] kitty_: it was only listing my normal disks. so perhaps that wont be possible? [03:30] fadzl: yes Wubi is usually bad [03:30] So just sudo apt-get install samba-common? [03:30] mike3: so cron reports it works fine, but it doesn't? [03:30] Ruby: yep try that [03:30] reason? [03:30] Sam_, burn the Ubuntu CD, put it on your computer and restart. if your bios is not setup to boot from CD then HDD, then modify it to do so [03:30] wermse was the usb disk in when you booted? [03:30] pidgin is not working your help pls [03:31] jeruvy yep........... [03:31] kitty_: yes [03:31] nasrullah, details? [03:31] nasrullah: Please to be definining "not working" [03:31] wermse, it'll only list the disks recognized by bios [03:31] should the computers on my LAN have the same Bcast or different? [03:31] Sam_: YOu have to burn the cd as an .iso image [03:31] would anyone be willing to explain to me how dar updates its backups? [03:31] mike3: hmm, can you pastebin the script? [03:31] i cannot open it [03:31] goose: i don't want to run it as live [03:31] fadzl: quite a few reasons, runs inside Windows, nasty Windows virus or some such bye bye Ubuntu, if windows is all fragmented Ubuntu can be slow. the boot loaders can mess up, so people can't just access Ubuntu, then they also can't just use a Live CD to get hold of data, and so on [03:31] kitty_: well i guess that explains that. stupid 10 year old computers. [03:31] fadzl, when I installed via wubi it made my computer take a large crap and then need reformatting and reinstalling [03:31] i wanna keep it installed [03:31] in gpg when you use the "gpg" command it says "Type your message" what do you do when you're finished typing it? [03:31] you can always make a small boot partition or just shove your vmlinuz and initrd on your fat disk and do it that way [03:31] Sam_: Have you ever used ubuntu? [03:31] and just point its root to your usb disk by uuid [03:32] or you could make a boot cd [03:32] Sam_, you can install from CD at boot, you don't have to run it live [03:32] jeruvy you know what, nevermind.. I installed mailx and i'm seeing log output now [03:32] that's too complicated [03:32] Sam_: do you need to make space on your hard disk for Ubuntu? [03:32] mike3: I thought so :) good stuff [03:32] Sam_, are you serious? [03:32] Sam_: and setting up a dual boot is pretty easy [03:32] wermse i have a computer i built in 98 and it boots from usb just fine :P [03:32] Sam_, you put the CD in your computer, then restart it [03:32] unplug it and plug it back in even, if you like [03:32] Says it already has samba-common [03:32] sebsebseb [03:32] is there any other channels? [03:32] oh thanks, [03:32] it's even easier than wubi [03:33] kitty_: hmm, maybe this one can, although i cant seem to find anything. perhaps if i upgraded the bios it would be able to [03:33] Sam_: let Vista resize itself, or dataloss can happen [03:33] Ruby: ok try this [03:33] good luck with that [03:33] http://dpaste.com/63589/ <-- something is coming through my router? [03:33] is it at all possible to start the ubuntu installer from another linux distro? [03:33] Ruby: open up the file manager [03:33] i know, the live cd is working but i'm afraid of installing ubutu [03:33] Ruby: get the location bar and put in [03:33] Ruby: smb:// your internal ip address [03:33] Anyone want to wade through some driver issues with xorg and my mental inadequacies ? [03:34] jeruvy if i want to disable email logs.. is this possible? [03:34] Ruby, there's a bug with samba, let me explain [03:34] Ruby: you can also try places > Network and then Windows network and see if you can get into your shared folder like that === Tiago is now known as Guest46847 [03:34] where is the file .gnomerc ? [03:34] Ruby: I am not sure what goose is on about, but Samba usually works well :) [03:34] why does your nick change to guest# ? [03:35] jueves, please chat in #ubuntu-offtopic [03:35] Ruby, when you try and use Samba via IP, you can't just use the IP, i.e. smb://192.168.1.101 won't work, you need to specify a target folder. i.e. smb://192.168.1.101/folder/ or it won't find the host [03:35] how do I get there baz [03:35] sebsebseb, samba works well :) just that folder bug I just mentioned is an annoyance [03:35] Sam_, well you're gonna install ubuntu either way, and wubi is the less stable way to do so [03:35] jueves: type /join #ubuntu-offtopic [03:35] jueves, /join #ubuntu-offtopic (or click channel name) [03:35] okis, thanks [03:35] goose, wubi is not fail for a new comer [03:36] M1K3: Wubi is fail [03:36] !register | jueves: and to pick and reserve a nickname...

[03:37] M1K3: I have been here a few times before, when people get Wubi issues [03:37] haha,,yup [03:37] no, but it was fun to play with [03:37] sebsebseb: Okayy I went in via network [03:37] kitty_: well a virtual machine of Ubuntu would have been way more fun to play with :) [03:37] trying to connect to irc.j3di.org [03:37] who wants to help me with my Xorg.conf file? [03:37] 1st time, just use wubi [03:38] sebsebseb, so it is better to make the ppl that have trouble using wubi try to partition ? [03:38] kitty_, if by "help" you mean "sympathize" :> [03:38] sebsebseb, good luck w/ that [03:38] kitty_: you getting a black screen and prompt? [03:38] I cant move files and folders because I dont have permission to see them? how do I fix this [03:38] M1K3: yes, or get them to virtual machine Ubuntu to begin with, even if that means Windows as host, and Windows as host is pretty eww really [03:38] no by help i mean i've read the man pages and i still can't get the thing to work [03:38] 1st time use live CD. when you like it, install with GRUB, the right/real/correct way [03:38] Hi everyone. I'm using Twitux 0.62 in Ubuntu 8.04. Twitux had been working fine, but now I do not get the popup notifications when a twit arrives, even when the preference option is enabled. Does anyone knows how to fix it? [03:38] kitty_: get what thing to work? [03:38] would anyone be willing to explain to me how dar updates its backups? [03:38] alcalde84, have you modified your theme at all?

[03:40] Ruby: that other guy did a good explination of how to do this [03:40] fadzl, wow, i didnt have a windows or ubuntu crash while using wubi... w/ VISTA [03:40] CleanLaundry: do you have root access? [03:40] ponpulla, this is the support channel for Ubuntu OS. but try /server irc.j3di.org [03:40] Ruby: so like he said, but folder is the full path to your folder [03:40] ewanchic, yes [03:40] UGH!!!! Everytime I put a file on my computer from SAMBA, it's owned by nouser:nogroup. How can I change this >_< [03:40] ewanchic, using the drag and drop [03:40] goose, i have modified it twice at most, but how does it affect the popups? [03:40] kitty_: do you log in at the black screen? [03:40] Yeah I'm trying My IP/users/administrator/documents/backup [03:40] Wubi is really for newbies that don't know better! Should drop the subject here really :) [03:40] emm but so slow [03:40] goose, well not modified the theme, changed it [03:41] i log in @ ssh [03:41] alcalde84, I know modifying mine messed with my pidgin-guifications plugin a while back. just offering the thought, I have no idea how to fix your problem :/ [03:41] CleanLaundry: so you are using the gui to drag it and it gives permission denied or something?

[04:01] wait [04:01] I did sudo aptitude install smbfs [04:01] Ruby, after that is installed you'll need to make a folder (call it anything, like share for example) in /media [04:01] Ruby, so sudo mkdir /media/share [04:01] cabrey: in media hmm well she is just going to share to a folder on Windows [04:02] Wait [04:02] should I do sudo apt-get install smbfs too [04:02] yeas [04:02] I already did sudo aptitude install smbfs [04:02] Ruby, then we'll mount it via the smbfs. sudo mount -t smb -o username=USERNAME_HERE //IP.Addr.of.Computer/share /media/share [04:02] Ruby: oh your using aptitude :) well for this apt-get and aptitude will do the same thing [04:02] Ruby, aptitude and apt-get do the same thing [04:02] The metacity process takes 96% of CPU time. What might be the reason? [04:03] wait [04:03] what username [04:03] the one that im moving FROM [04:03] or the one that im moving TO [04:03] Ruby: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:03] chameleon> You have to install the Package Installer adobe-flashplugin http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ [04:03] Ruby: well aptitude is meant to be better with dependancies, so for bigger stuff could be useful for example kubuntu-desktop and xubuntu-desktop [04:03] hello, I'm trying to install 9.04 and I've run into a snag. I have two drives, an IDE and a SATA. I have XP on the 80GB IDE and I've installed Linux on the SATA. The installation worked as it's mounted in the current Live session, but no grub. can someone please give me a hand. Thanks in advance. [04:03] Ruby, the username of the remote computer with privledges to copy stuff over there [04:04] installing-ubunt: in what order did you install the os? [04:04] installing-ubunt: I can't exactly help, but I am curious about something, maybe you have the same issue as someone else. You have a sata hard disk, installed Ubuntu on it? ,but nothing will boot? [04:04] So the one that I'm copying the stuff from? [04:04] installing-ubunt: In help.ubuntu.com look for Grub. [04:04] hi [04:04] Our Fireworks are going off now at the lake since rain canceled it Friday [04:04] i got the panel back === MK13 is now known as M1K3 [04:05] wizzo50: ok that's like fun, but by the way your off topic [04:05] C-S-B__: XP on the IDE and then Ubuntu on the SATA [04:05] wizzo50: that sounds like fun above [04:05] Ruby, which way do you want to go from Ubuntu -> Windows? or on Windows and retrieve from ubuntu? [04:05] I'm copying the stuff from ubuntu to windows [04:05] installing-ubunt: does windows boot? [04:05] cabrey: maybe Ubuntu to Ubuntu is better even, she dual boots [04:05] cabrey: the other computer === TheQ_ is now known as TheQ [04:05] if the panel [04:06] cabrey: Ubuntu to Windows and then she will clean install [04:06] ever disappears on xfce [04:06] sebsebseb: well, yes, I suppose. It's properly installed, as I can see it in the Live session, but it appears that Grub did not get installed on the MBR causing Grub not to show... but it is installed, just no option to boot linux [04:06] chameleon> Did you get your Flashplayer installed yet? If not, read what I said above [04:06] run xfce4-panel [04:06] in terminal [04:06] installing-ubunt: right and so your BIOS would detect it [04:06] Oh dear [04:06] join #django [04:06] Ruby: what happended? [04:06] C-S-B__: yes, boots just fine.... my guess is that grub isn't installed to the MBR [04:06] I'm trying to copy the stuff from the old installation into the share folder [04:06] And it says I don't have the permissions [04:07] fffffff [04:07] Ruby: gksudo nautiilus now you do problem solved [04:07] Ruby: nautilus [04:07] have you tried booting from live cd and doing a grub-install /dev/sda? [04:07] sebsebseb: Yea it is fun. Watching Larry The Cable Guy last night was more fun with his comedy jokes. [04:07] When i boot ubuntu 9.04 it hangs up at checking for bluetooth which i dont have, any suggestions?, ive run hardy on this same comp with no kinks.... [04:07] Ruby: be careful with that though, since that's root/admin for nautilus [04:07] sebsebseb: Don't go advising using root privelages in nautilus! [04:08] ianto: what are you on about? it's fine if they are careful [04:08] anyone know the app/whatever that makes gtk2 apps not look like crap in kde4?(#kubuntu's dead at the moment) [04:08] Alright problem solved [04:08] So [04:08] Okay [04:08] installing-ubunt: actually, dont do that directly, check where /boot is [04:08] sebsebseb: well....no, see, the board I have is A7N8X-Deluxe... it supports SATA, but it's like a secondary boot. SATA doesn't show up in the actual BIOS proper, but after memory check, the next screen is where it lists the SATA hard drive (and RAID setup) [04:08] I'll tell you when I have it moved [04:08] Where are bookmarks for firefox stored in ubuntu? [04:08] Ruby: .mozilla in home a hidden folder [04:08] sebsebseb: Well if they need to ask how to move/copy/write to protected areas, nautilus as root isn't the best suggestion! [04:08] Ruby, probably in ~/.mozilla [04:09] C-S-B__: it appears that /boot is on the SATA, if that's what you're asking [04:09] ianto: what do you think is? [04:09] ianto, well on a livecd, so doesnt matter *that* much [04:09] and whats the location of the sata drive? /dev/sd? [04:09] installing-ubunt: ^ [04:09] I cant find the share folder in media [04:10] Ruby, did you create it first? [04:10] C-S-B__: iirc /dev/sda for the SATA [04:10] can someone tell me the easiest way to update ktorrent? [04:10] sebsebseb & cabrey: It's bad practice, surely you can help with a direct "sudo mv/cp /source /dest" [04:10] I typed mkdir media/share so I assume so [04:10] ianto, for new users, GUI > coreutils [04:10] can I get some help with these errors while trying to build a driver? http://pastebin.com/f175444ab [04:10] Ruby, it's sudo mkdir /media/share, not media/share [04:10] sense: sure from the repo :D only thing with that is they only do security updates for it [04:10] I did /media/share [04:10] sense: maybe there's a ppa though [04:10] My apologies [04:11] !ppa > sense [04:11] sense, please see my private message [04:11] Aha [04:11] it said permission denied [04:11] installing-ubunt: try using grub-install /dev/sda [04:11] Ruby, and there were no errors when mounting? [04:11] hello guys how to download all updates? [04:11] C-S-B__: from this live session ? [04:11] yeah [04:11] RheaChiQ, System > Administration > Update Manager [04:11] Havnt mounted [04:11] as you have not told me which username to put [04:12] hello guys how to download all updates?my wireless seems not working now.before when i install 9.04, it auto detect wireless and i have already wireless software isntalled near at clock.. [04:12] I'm moving from ubuntu to windows [04:12] Ruby, the computer you are copying files to, is it a vista computer? [04:12] C-S-B__: before I do this, can you refresh my memory on how to check each device ? [04:12] <[Pwner]John> anyone? [04:12] <[Pwner]John> :( [04:12] cabrey : done that but i already update it.i just want to update it all so that maybe i could get the wireless application installed. [04:12] Yes [04:12] Ruby, and what username do you log in with? [04:12] installing-ubunt: what do you mean? [04:12] RheaChiQ, what wireless hardware do you have? [04:13] Administrator [04:13] Although the computers name is set to AM [04:13] Or do you mean the ubuntu computer [04:13] does anyone know what i can do to be able to boot off of a usb drive with a motherboard that is unable to boot from usb? [04:13] cabrey : broadcom i guess [04:13] Ruby, ok so you would use sudo mount -t smb -o username=Administrator //ip.addr.remote.computer/share /media/share [04:13] C-S-B__: how do I double check each disk, to make sure the SATA is sda rather than 'b' ? [04:13] Ruby: Lesson 1, never use the admin account in Vista, that is a serious design flaw [04:13] someone please, just shoot me! [04:13] RheaChiQ, you need to be more specific [04:13] Ruby: yeah don't run Windows as admin unless your installing programs, big tip [04:13] you can right click properties, i think that tells you [04:14] Ruby: the reason so many viruses and such exist for WIndows in the first place is, because most users run as the admin account [04:14] cabrey : but there is no problem before when i just update all..why now i have problem?its a 2nd install bte [04:14] Common sense is the best anti virus [04:14] installing-ubunt: or you can check /etc/fstab to see where its mounted [04:14] cabrey : how to now the wireless?im sure its broadcom [04:14] Ruby: which is not to run admin in Windows, unless it's needed for example to install or uninstall a program [04:15] RheaChiQ, broadcom is a very generic term, can we have the model number? [04:15] Ruby: use a limited account otherwise [04:15] installing-ubunt: also blkid [04:15] cabrey : how to know the model? [04:15] <[Pwner]John> whats the program that allows ubuntu to run the same time as windows? [04:15] Help [04:15] Anyway [04:15] I just tried [04:15] Unknown filesystem type "smb" [04:15] RheaChiQ, erm look at the card? or try lspci | grep Wireless === saulus_ is now known as SauLus [04:15] cabrey : lenovo 14002 [04:16] Ruby, hmm maybe it is sudo mount -t smbfs [04:16] C-S-B__: ok, so the SATA is sda and the IDE is sdb... windows is on sdb and linux is on sda [04:16] [Pwner]John: bsod.sh lol [04:16] uh [04:16] it wants me to enter a password [04:16] [Pwner]John> virtualbox, qemu, vmware, take your pick [04:16] The metacity process takes 96% of CPU time. What might be the reason? [04:16] cabrey : $ lspci | grep Broadcom\ Corporation 04:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN (rev 01) 06:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetLink BCM5906M Fast Ethernet PCI Express (rev 02) [04:16] which computers password should I be entering [04:16] Ruby: the Windows one [04:17] Ruby, the password you use to log into vista [04:17] cabrey : it was easy before.when i installed ubuntu 9.04 and update it, i already have wireless selection in the clock area [04:17] Connection refused [04:17] RheaChiQ, have you tried going to System > Administration > Hardware Drivers? [04:17] installing-ubunt: try installing grub to sda's mbr [04:17] gee [04:17] C-S-B__: I'm assuming I want "grub-install /dev/sdb" [04:17] Is there a data saver program that can be ran in here to store usernames and passwords in it like Firefox Mozillia has so you can just click on the name you put it under and it automatically puts them in there , password and username? [04:17] this sure would be alot easier if I had my flash drive [04:17] Ruby: yeah I was thinking that just now as well [04:17] installing-ubunt: if thats where you want your computer to boot grub from [04:18] I need to find it :/ [04:18] Ruby: try smb://internal ip address again in the location bar [04:18] installing-ubunt: you could install it to sda and tell your computer to boot from the sata drive [04:18] Give me a minute to scramble around [04:18] trying to find it [04:18] C-S-B__: ....interesting [04:18] installing-ubunt: in your bios [04:18] does anyone think, that if i try an ubuntu livecd instead of just a normal server install cd, that i'd have any more luck with it detecting the cdrom, or would i just be wasting a cd? [04:18] wat [04:18] any help or answers to my question above [04:19] Could not display smb -snip [04:19] Error failed to retrieve share list from server [04:19] can someone help me please - i lost sound suddenly on ubuntu 9.10 [04:19] wizzo50: arent you using firefox? [04:19] please select another viewer and try again [04:19] yes [04:19] C-S-B__: well, I'll have to check, see my BIOS doesn't see the SATA drives, but I think it's in the boot order... but I'll do some investigating and thanks for the help. you may see me again, ;) lol [04:20] wizzo50: so, you answered your own question? [04:20] i was just watching a movie and then restarted and then suddenly the sound was lost...plz give a solution for this [04:20] does anyone know about intel drivers on ubuntu? [04:20] video drivers i mean [04:20] Ruby, you dont actually type out [04:20] I have it in there, but I am talking about when you 1st load Ubuntu to save your usernamd and paswword and not have to type it in everytime? [04:20] wermse: I don't think the livecd will do you any better [04:20] installing-ubunt: no worries, you can always manually install grub and you could always make a boot partition on the ide drive if the worst came to the worst, just as long as grub see the sata, which it should [04:21] <[Pwner]John> anyone? [04:21] <[Pwner]John> :( [04:21] cabrey : its now downloading in hardware.. why is i like this?before i didnt go there.it was already installed...i choose main sever to update ll packages [04:21] does anyone have any other ideas as to how i could manage to get ubuntu installed. i can get into the installer just fine, but when it gets to the mounting cdrom step it dies on me saying it cant find a cdrom. i've tried various boot parameters in grub, it seems my machine can't boot from a usb drive although i do have a usb drive with the install cd on it. [04:21] how do you find out the wireless link you computer uses if it is built in to the computer [04:21] [Pwner]John: whats the prob? [04:21] wait [04:21] then what is snip [04:21] danbhfive: I have it in there, but I am talking about when you 1st load Ubuntu to save your usernamd and paswword and not have to type it in everytime? [04:21] Curse words? [04:21] [Pwner]John> anyone what? [04:22] wow there sure are a lot of questions in here....no one has answer to my sound problem/ [04:22] wizzo50: you mean when it asks for the master password? [04:22] Ruby, no just so I didn't have to type out that long command again, apparently more trouble than it's worth [04:23] I am trying to install something and it says i need to get development packages (Qt,KDE,libgmp,QCA2) how do i get them [04:23] kasperooney, try typing alsa reload into terminal and see if it helps. [04:23] how can I keep my wifi connection when i close the lid on my ac powered netbook? [04:23] sense> your trying to compile something? [04:23] yea...new ver of ktorrent [04:23] unless there is an easier way to get it [04:24] I suppose I can try to find my flash drive [04:24] sense : ktorrent is cli torrent? [04:24] sense> im sure theres a deb somewhere [04:24] if all else I'll buy a new one [04:24] C-S-B you may have that setting in your bios, or you may have a large enough ground field in the back panel of your lid (aluminum) to kill the weaker signal that you're connected to [04:24] sense : how to install a cli torrent? [04:24] sense: sure theres not a prebuilt deb in launchpad [04:24] Ruby: nearly there I think [04:24] i just need to upgrade it, i dont know how [04:24] oldude67: nope that didnt work....do i have to restart again? [04:24] sense> maybe an ubuntu ppa or something check the ktorrent website [04:24] Ruby, you want sudo mount -t smbfs -o username=Administration //ip.address.remote.computer/share /media/share [04:24] kitty_: it's local to ubuntu... [04:24] s/Administration/Administrator [04:25] sense> no idea, wheres the page your looking at? [04:25] Yeah I think the remote IP address isnt right [04:25] Ruby: you have to edit his command a little bit as well [04:25] do you mean the problem only occurs in ubuntu or that you're wifi hotspot is close to your ubuntu box? [04:25] smil3y: http://ktorrent.org/?q=downloads [04:25] because I tried just smb://(ip) and it gave errors both times I tried to navigate [04:25] Ruby, run ipconfig on the Windows computer and that'll give it to you [04:25] cabrey : what is the best music player and movie player to install in 9.04? [04:25] which version of apache does 8.04 use? [04:25] !best | RheaChiQ [04:25] RheaChiQ: 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. [04:25] 2.0 or 2.2? [04:25] danbhfive: Yes, the 1st 2 pages asking user name and pasword . So I was wondering if there is a program to remember them for the next time you power the computer on and I select Ubuntu and then it ask for the username and pasword, so that is where I was wanting to know if there is a program to run at that time to autimatically put it in there. [04:25] Yeah I tried the ipv4 address and another address and they didnt work [04:25] RheaChiQ: install these :) banshee vlc and mplayer [04:26] kitty, the connection only drops when the lid is closed in ubuntu, maybe a power feature? [04:26] Ruby: you can pastebin the output of your ipconfig command, and show us [04:26] RheaChiQ, is your wireless working? [04:26] Ruby: and we can tell you which one to use [04:26] !pastebin | Ruby [04:26] Ruby: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic [04:26] fotoflo: 2.2.8 [04:26] smil3y: its in add/remove programs but i just want to update [04:26] i still trying to figure out how to specify an exact refresh rate and screen resolution for X to use in the xorg.conf [04:27] Look well [04:27] fotoflo: Apache version 2.2.8 ^ [04:27] Thanks for the help guys but I'll just try to find that flash drive [04:27] cabrey : i didnt see wizard that tells if its done or not..do i need to reboot? :) [04:27] How could I make ubuntu wake up on schedule? [04:27] Ruby: hang on [04:27] sebsebseb sebastian thanks im downloading it now :) [04:27] Ruby: your close now you really are, if you don't just give up yet, also this is good for learning [04:27] How could I make ubuntu wake up on schedule and run a program? [04:27] ianto: thanks [04:27] Because it seems my lazy method is actually the harder and more tedious method [04:27] Alright, how do I copy stuff in the windows commandline [04:27] danbhfive: Did you get my statement question above? [04:28] PlasmaSheep, man chron ? [04:28] is there anyone that can help me wiht my webcam [04:28] Ruby: copy [04:28] Ruby: the thing the bot gave, talked about uploading screenshots as well, you can upload a screenshot [04:28] it doesn't work on 9.04 [04:28] wizzo50: do this is not a firefox password. This is ubuntu asking, right? I think there is a program that let's you change your main password. You should change it to a blank password, by deleting it, and then entering a blank at next boot [04:28] you might be using foxycron or anacron or something else but they're all time based daemons [04:28] kitty_: does cron wake the system up from sleep? [04:28] RheaChiQ, uhh does it say activated? [04:28] nope, don't put it to sleep if you want it to wake up [04:28] your bios might have that ability [04:29] kitty_: well, that's completely unhelpful, considering that's what I asked [04:29] but as for ubuntu, once your cpu stops cycling, its not gonna do anything [04:29] http://paste.ubuntu.com/210886/ [04:29] PlasmaSheep: maybe use another pc to w-o-l? [04:29] danbhfive!!!! NEVER tell a user to change his password to something blank!!!! [04:29] does anybody know to kill a process that listens on a known port? [04:29] setup wake on lan, go over to another computer that'll be on 24.7 and setup a cron job there [04:29] smil3y: do you see where im talking about [04:29] I don't care if I need to do it via ubuntu, I mean AT ALL [04:29] without another machine, C-S-B__ [04:29] * kitty_ shoos PlasmaSheep away [04:29] danbhfive: I don't want to change any words, I just want something to memorize it so I don't loose it and it automatically puts them in there for you [04:29] I tried 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.4 [04:30] kitty_: what? [04:30] wizzo50: if your asking if ubuntu has autologin yes it does open system>admin>login Window>security Enable Auto Login [04:30] kasperooney, try alsa unload alsa reload. [04:30] check your bios, or just live with the computer being on [04:30] kitty_: You can't take someone saying "how can I do X" and tell him "DUN DO Y SO Z OLOLOLOLZ" [04:30] that should stop whats using it. [04:30] yea [04:31] PlasmaSheep: if the machine is asleep, only the ram and nic are going to have power, iirc, therefore bringing it's self out of sleep would have to be a bios thing.. [04:31] plasmasheep no, you're asking the impossible [04:31] sense> yeah i was just looking around, look at this, theres a ppa repo [04:31] wizzo50: I don't think I get it then, sorry [04:31] actually the usb will as well [04:31] is there anyone taht can help a newb with camera [04:31] sense> http://ktorrent.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2896&sid=8b2e30e34c8929152ca75fa1889a13ef [04:31] Where you go to enable Auto Login [04:31] C-S-B__: Is there a guide on how to do this via the BIOS? [04:31] Hi I am attempting to setup a basic webserver using a Linux WRT54G router, ubuntu 9.04 32-bit server edition, and the howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu-9.04-ipconfig-3. I just got started and can't set up the openssh. Can someone help? [04:31] wizzo50, System > Administration > Login Windows [04:31] but if you're not gonna use another box, its pretty pointless to consider any of those options to boot it up [04:31] wizzo50: i open system>admin>login Window>security Enable Auto Login [04:31] s/Login Windows/Login Window [04:31] Ruby: ok a lot of that is unessary, so I really don't blame you for getting confussed [04:31] PlasmaSheep: I dont know your bios or if it could do it im afraid... [04:31] hey i have an idea, you could make an alarm clock, that is wired up to your power button! yeah yeah [04:32] Ruby: well maybe not confussed, but not being exactly sure which ip to use [04:32] i'm on hardy, do I need to upgrade to ibex before going to jaunty/ [04:32] cabrey : yes it says activated and already using it. but when i check the wireless at the time clock, its not working there..i couldnt see any available wireless ssid names there... :) [04:32] yeah [04:32] C-S-B__: okay, and is there a way to execute a command when it wakes up from sleep (is cron started again?) [04:32] joining [04:32] Ruby: you talked about your router config page earlier, if you access that, it will probably say the internal ip addreses for each computer [04:32] cron never stopped [04:32] and yes you can have it do "catchup" or "if missed" schedules [04:32] PlasmaSheep: anacron iirc performs all tasks it couldnt do while asleep [04:33] C-S-B__: cool, thanks [04:33] kitty_: no thanks to you [04:33] oh waaa plasma [04:33] my feelings are so hurt [04:33] smil3y: hey [04:33] smil3y: what do you mean theres a ppa? [04:33] RheaChiQ, then how are you using it? [04:33] No dice. [04:34] hmm, i am a system admin and I would like to restrict users so that they can only read files from a directory at a rate of x files per hour... [04:34] any way to do that? [04:34] kitty_: go tell someone else to "GO BY A NW CARD SO U DUN NEED TO FIX DRIVERS LOLOL IM GENUS LOLOLOZ" [04:34] hello I need some help getting suspend to work with my laptop, google/forums were no help. details: [04:34] I'm sure everyone will love you [04:34] what the hell is your problem plasma?

[04:34] i need help writing permision to folder: /usr/share/vuze [04:34] Ruby: and hopefuly that will bring up the page [04:35] You don't help, you just tell people not to bother you. [04:35] legend2440: Where does it ask to put your password at up there in the system>admin>login Window>security Enable Auto Login [04:35] well plasma, you don't seem to listen when people tell you that "thats not possible" [04:35] jaunty 64, with latest nvidia (binary) drivers, the laptop can suspend if I explicitly click suspend, it won't do it automatically. when battery is very low it auto-shuts down instead of suspending. how do i fix this? [04:35] kitty_: You don't need to tell me it's not possible when you clearly you have no idea what you are talking about. [04:35] yeah [04:35] It did [04:35] but theres nothing I could find [04:35] Ruby: ok good [04:35] i donno, telling you that your cpu stops cycling when your computer is in sleep mode, didn't really mean anything to you, so what am i gonna do [04:35] can anyone tell me how to use ppa? [04:35] it listed a couple of addresses [04:36] I tried them [04:36] no dice. [04:36] Ruby: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:36] plasma, you can wake up too [04:36] legend2440: Where does it ask to put your password at up there in the system>admin>login Window>security Enable Auto Login [04:36] Ruby: now getting some where I think [04:36] kitty_: If I need to do this at a specific time, I probably can't do that. [04:36] C-S-B__ is a great example of how to give support, kitty_. [04:36] Learn something. [04:36] then you'll need to leave the computer on, bravo, this sounds sooo familiar [04:36] can anyone help, i have no idea how to solve this? [04:37] Ruby: smb://internal ip address [04:37] plasmasheep, you really are dense yeah? [04:37] kitty_: Brill- oh, wait, that's not what I asked for... [04:37] Ruby: in the bar try each one [04:37] smil3y: how do i use the ppa [04:37] wizzo50: it doesnt just use dropdown box to choose user you want to be able to Auto Login [04:37] ninjafury, Do you have it set in gnome-power-manager to suspend on low battery? [04:37] legend2440, :D hey again:) [04:37] sense> personal packages archive [04:37] Ahadiel, i'll check [04:37] can anyone help I've posted above but no one has responded? [04:37] I did [04:37] legend2440, fixed the synaptis issue:D [04:37] mralexandro: hi [04:37] Didn't work [04:38] Thats what I've been doing, actually [04:38] mralexandro: good [04:38] so back to suggesting to xorg the exact refresh rate and monitor resolution to use in the xorg.conf file, anyone got suggestions? [04:38] smil3y: how can i use/get it? [04:38] And brb, trying to cope with the brain cell loss suffered from reading posts by an internet tough guy [04:38] legend2440, now i have luxus problems:) can you help me on how to write permitions on to following folder: /usr/share/vuze [04:38] kitty_: Buy a new computer and the problem will go away. [04:39] Ruby: by an iternet tough guy? [04:39] Internet tough guy; the kind of guy who threatens to beat you up or kill you, on the internet. [04:39] Ruby, hehe:D [04:39] IE: who the hell you think you are...............a senior member or a critic......................so shut up and dont enter to my posts or i will fuck you up. [04:39] Ahadiel, no i just did though, but even when it tries to auto-suspend, the screen goes blank with a shell cursor and thats it, cpu is still running. so battery will die and system just dies. [04:39] C-S-B__: hello, it's me, installing-ubuntu [04:40] !guidelines | Ruby: It would be a really good idea for you to read these now [04:40] Ruby: It would be a really good idea for you to read these now: The guidelines for using the Ubuntu channels can be found here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [04:40] Ruby will fuck you up. Ruby will rail you. [04:40] ninjafury, I'm not sure then. Never had any issues with suspend myself. [04:40] Ruby: uhmm an odd thing to say, and I never did anything like that :) [04:40] Zencyde: ++ for the Rails quote [04:40] You're welcome. :) [04:40] Other tactics include saying that they live near/are friends with/is a relative to the creator of the forum [04:40] I'm not saying you did [04:40] C-S-B__: as you can see, I did find the boot device and get booted into the OS, however, when I select the XP option, XP doesn't boot, black screen [04:40] I'm multitasking [04:40] thanks Ahadiel, can anyone else help? [04:40] I'm reading forums [04:40] Ruby: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:40] hi tristanmike] [04:40] so ubuntu is working off grub? [04:41] sense> you may want to try here #kubuntu [04:41] C-S-B__: yeppers :) [04:41] !kubuntu [04:41] Kubuntu is Ubuntu with KDE, the K Desktop Environment, instead of Gnome. See http://kubuntu.org for more information - For support: #kubuntu - See also !KDE [04:41] tristanmike: ok, so you dont get anything from windows? [04:41] lengend2440> Right, Auto login when I first power the computer and I select Ubuntu between Windows XP or Ubuntu. Then when it loads the page, it asks for a User name and password. So I want to make Ubuntu ro remember it from now on each time I log in on Ubuntu and that I don't have to type it in there everytime. Like what Firefox has too [04:41] who should I ask for help, so I cn get their attention? [04:41] C-S-B__: no, not when I select the XP option from Grub, I'm sure if I change the boot order again, I'll get windows, [04:41] smil3y: thanks [04:42] grub can boot xp no prob [04:42] sense> im sure theres a ppa repo for testing debs, im not gonna google all nite for it though lol, tried long enough [04:42] C-S-B__: I do see my Windows drive in Ubuntu, which is good [04:42] C-S-B__: I know it can, it just isn't right now [04:42] My head still hurts from argueing with the christian extremists who claimed that dinosaurs ran around when adam and eve existed and that they were herbivores and had sharp teeth to puncture coconuts and then telling me to give them a video of a fish morphing into another animal [04:42] whats the config in /boot/grub/menu.lst [04:42] I pretty much gave up all hope in humanity at that point, but anyway I'm veering off topic [04:42] hi everyone, i need to have /dev/video1394-0 to /dev/video1394/0. how? [04:42] tristanmike: ^ [04:43] Hello all. I'm having problems with Dropbox. It won't run. The icon appears for a second in the system tray and then disappears [04:43] Ruby: seriously, reading the guidelines would be an /excellent/ idea [04:43] Ruby: Do you need a therapist? :) [04:43] Probably [04:43] legend2440, i found it sudo chown -R 777 /usr/share/vuze [04:43] pretty please :) I can't get my laptop to auto suspend properly, can someone please help? [04:43] jreyes33> never used it, but may want to start it from a terminal and see the error messages there [04:43] I know for a fact that I suffer from OCD, along with a myriad of other possible disorders. [04:43] is a symbolic link enough? [04:43] legend2440, sorry should have googled first [04:43] :D [04:43] PlasmaSheep: as a thought, do you have an openwrt/dd-wrt style router? you could setup a cron job on that to ping your computer and wake-on-lan [04:43] Ruby: well this was worth a try, but I give up now, well good luck with finding your USB stick or buying a new one, so you can put the data on that instead [04:44] Yeah [04:44] Thanks for the help man [04:44] I did appreciate it [04:44] C-S-B__: http://paste.ubuntu.com/210892/ [04:44] <[Pwner]John> Anyone know the program? [04:44] C-S-B__: would the hard drive have to be in the boot order in the BIOS ? [04:44] legend2440: Did you see my message above? [04:45] [Pwner]John> what program [04:45] !scp | Ruby [04:45] Ruby: SCP is a secure way of copying files across networks using !SSH. Usage: scp filename user@host:filename - WinSCP is a client for Windows, available at http://winscp.net/ [04:45] Ruby: don't remember how though [04:45] Ruby: probably best to just use USB stick in your case :) [04:45] tristanmike: your computer is picking it up, so it should be ok [04:45] Yeah [04:45] Hm [04:45] cabrey : maybe restart is the solution? [04:45] careby : let me restart it :) [04:45] RheaChiQ, try it [04:46] is there any possibility of hooking two computers together and having one of them treat the other as a USB stick or external HDD? [04:46] wizzo50: did you enable Auto Login in System>Admin>login Window>Security? [04:46] <[Pwner]John> the [04:46] <[Pwner]John> program [04:46] cabrey : but you know some cli torrent? [04:46] <[Pwner]John> that let [04:46] <[Pwner]John> s [04:46] [Pwner]John: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:46] C-S-B__: yeah, it's the right device...again, perhaps the drive needs to be in the boot order, afer the sata ?? [04:46] <[Pwner]John> ubuntu and windows run at the same time [04:46] cabrey : how to install cli torrent?i have limited resources so i need cli torrent.. :) [04:46] <[Pwner]John> ?_? [04:46] Ruby: If you're feeling really adventurous you could take one hdd out of one pc and put it in the other and transfer files between hdds [04:46] Whelp [04:47] Ruby: er, maybe an SATA/IDE to usb converter? [04:47] Yeah the only problem is that one is a laptop [04:47] tristanmike: shouldnt make a difference, the bios boot order is only used if the first bootable device isnt present [04:47] I could probably get away with it but my mother would have a freakout [04:47] [Pwner]John> virtualbox, qemu, vmware like i said before [04:47] RheaChiQ, use rtorrent [04:47] Well [04:47] legend2440: Yes I enable Auto Login [04:47] C-S-B__: that's what I would think, just throwing it out there [04:47] Time for the (possibly) easier ordeal; Installing ubuntu 64bit on my second HDD [04:47] [Pwner]John> take your pick any will work [04:48] C-S-B__: after selecting the XP option, I see the words "Starting up..." then the screen blinks to black and nadda [04:48] <[Pwner]John> smil3y [04:48] <[Pwner]John> give me an example [04:48] <[Pwner]John> ;D [04:48] tristanmike: try booting into the windows disc and doing a fixmbr on in the repair console [04:48] Ruby: Right, from what to what do you want to transfer the data? [04:48] wizzo50: sorry i dont dual boot windows and ubuntu. maybe that makes a difference in how you do it. not sure === guest4 is now known as Richi_rich [04:49] ok [04:49] After installing the Nvidia driver fonts gone terribly small, what caused this? I am using Debian but I guess i can ask you Ubuntu guys too =) [04:49] C-S-B__: I didn't do the command earlier, in case you think I did [04:49] !ask | [Pwner]John [04:49] [Pwner]John: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [04:49] How you do it? [04:49] Hopefully I can get 64bit working on my second HDD before sleep deprivation induced auditory hallucinations kick in [04:49] justfil: maybe your resolution just went up? [04:49] by typing in sudo chown -R 777 /usr/share/vuze i did not fix my problem. i want the torrent program vuze to be able to uppgrade it self. it wont!! [04:49] cabrey : thanks :) im downloading it now sudo apt-get install rtorrent [04:49] tristanmike: ok ignore what i just said... [04:50] <[Pwner]John> so... you dont know the answer? [04:50] well... no, it's still 1280x1024@85 [04:50] <[Pwner]John> lol [04:50] C-S-B__: I figured that's what the fixmbr [04:50] Ruby: How much RAM do you have? [04:50] tristanmike: so you got grub booting by changing the boot priority was? [04:50] 4 gb [04:50] legend2448> How do you do yours? [04:50] Ruby: ok [04:51] C-S-B__: that's correct, from floppy/cdrom/hdd to floppy/cdrom/scsi (which is scsi/sata on my board) [04:51] wizzo50: i already told you how i enabled auto login in ubuntu open system>admin>login Window>security Enable Auto Login [04:51] tristanmike: awesome [04:51] C-S-B__: then grub boots up fine, and into linux, etc... selecting the XP option yeilds "Starting up...." then black screen" [04:51] C-S-B__: LOL [04:51] oh, ok [04:53] tristanmike: have you pastebin'ed your menu.lst yet? [04:53] i'm on hardy, do I need to upgrade to ibex before going to jaunty? [04:53] found it, to change permission to folder type sudo chmod -R 777 /usr/share/vuze [04:53] so chmod not chown [04:53] hacim: yes, but [04:53] tristanmike: have you tried a chkdsk -r ? [04:53] danbhfive: the XP section, yes [04:53] hacim> yes [04:54] hacim, yes, if you have a seperate /home partition a reinstall is less painful. [04:54] Gee [04:54] I owe my procrastinating self [04:54] I've been working all day on this stupidity [04:54] smil3y: but? [04:54] tomorrow I get to play prototype all day [04:54] legend2440: How do you put your password in there where you say? [04:54] hacim: upgrading 8.10 to 9.04 isn't quite worth the upgrade, espesially when you been using 8.04 all this time [04:54] danbhfive: http://paste.ubuntu.com/210892/ [04:54] hacim: also once 9.10 is released at the end of October people need to clean install anyway for full Ext4 support [04:55] I need to update dvn to 1.6, how can I do this? [04:55] hacim> yes? [04:55] wizzo50: it doesnt ask for password just use dropdown box to choose user you want to be able to Auto Login [04:55] C-S-B__: apparently a fresh 9.04 does not come with chkdsk, lol [04:55] hacim: also there has been an issue that I got on the computer, but also other people, where they upgraded 8.04 to 8.10, but then lost their Internet conneciton [04:55] legend2440: ok, Thanks. I'll try this now. [04:55] hacim: that I got on the other computer above [04:55] tristanmike: yeah, it looks like you are busting out the various tricks. [04:56] tristanmike: its ms windows tool :P, try that then do fixmbr from the windows repair console. :) [04:56] C-S-B__: oh, duh..... [04:57] tristanmike: in fact, firstly just try a fixmbr [04:57] anyone have knowledge on firewire and ubuntu? i don't have /dev/dv1394? === lipsin_ is now known as lipsin [04:57] tristanmike: be aware, fixmbr will remove grub [04:58] tristanmike: yeh true, but if windows doesnt boot, you know thats where the prob is [04:58] so you can choose to repair that then reinstate grub [04:59] C-S-B__: danbhfive, windows would boot if I change the boot order [04:59] tristan are you sure? [04:59] tristanmike: boot order? is that a bios setting? [05:00] C-S-B__: tell you in 5 minutes...be right back [05:00] danbhfive: I'll explain in just a moment [05:00] danbhfive: yes it is [05:01] danbhfive: maybe his boot.ini is broke? [05:02] C-S-B__: o, I've no idea about that. Though, I have heard that windows can be finicky with grub sometimes [05:04] danbhfive: youre right about that, unlike linux it has to be on a primary partition, doesnt like not being in certain configs etc.. [05:05] root crontab not running but it runs from command line. this is what it is: 0 6 * * * root /usr/local/bin/automysqlbackup.sh === cabrey_ is now known as cabrey [05:06] cabrey : how to install flash player / shackwave ? so that i could play swf and other movie player and adobe player [05:06] :) [05:06] RheaChiQ, install ubuntu-restricted-extras [05:06] anyone has a solution to fix the mouse lag? [05:06] someone help me out with the root crontab not running? [05:07] i lost sound suddenly in jaunty...can someone help? [05:07] cabrey : thanks :) any other packages that needs to be installed? :) [05:07] in alsamixer master is turned on but there is no sound! [05:07] cabrey : before i reboot :) [05:07] RheaChiQ: you only re boot Ubuntu for major stuff [05:07] aditya_: just a thought.. try adding the "front" volume control and turn that up. [05:08] RheaChiQ: for example a kernel upgrade [05:08] C-S-B__: danbhfive, changing the boot order lets windows boot, but again, no grub, have to change the boot order to boot back into Ubuntu [05:08] sebsebseb : i want to reboot because of wireless.and do i need to upgrade the kernel?im not sure why i need to upgrade kernel..im using 9.04 [05:08] C-S-B__: danbhfive, Ubuntu does mount the Windows drive as well [05:09] tristanmike: how bizarre... [05:09] RheaChiQ: newer kernel probably don't need that [05:09] sebsebseb : do i need to upgrade the kernel? [05:09] C-S-B__: that's what I was thinking [05:09] sebsebseb : im using 9.04 ubuntu.this is my 2nd fresh install [05:09] :) [05:10] RheaChiQ: ok well get all the updates [05:10] hi [05:10] scunizi the volume slider is not working with up and down arrow! [05:10] tristanmike: back up your menu.lst and try removing the 'map' lines... [05:10] RheaChiQ: upgrading the kernel is only really necessary if it is included in an update.. [05:10] which package do i need to install to use CGI web applications? [05:10] sebsebseb : how to get all updates? :) [05:10] scunizi : im using 9.04 ubuntu.. [05:10] :) [05:10] RheaChiQ: it should have said there were updates available after first intalling [05:10] C-S-B__: won't hurt I guess ;) [05:10] brb [05:10] aditya_: are you doing this on the cli or terminal? you can also double click the volume icon up by the clock.. sometimes that is easier. [05:10] tristanmike: so you just have root(hd1,0) chainloader +1 etc [05:10] is there some apache mod? [05:11] RheaChiQ: system > administaration > update manager [05:11] RheaChiQ: doesn't matter.. the same applies to all releases [05:11] meoblast001: it depends on what language is used [05:12] scunizi: im doing it in the terminal....by client do u mean the volume control properties? [05:12] lstarnes: it's for CGIIRC.. i'm purposely using the CGIIRC that is not in the repos [05:12] but i don't know what packages i need installed and httpd-cgi has no installation candidate [05:12] meoblast001: check the first line of the .cgi files that come with it [05:12] ? [05:12] oh [05:13] meoblast001: that will tell you what the interpreter is, and thus which language it uses [05:13] #!/usr/bin/perl [05:13] aditya_: never mentioned client.. just the speaker icon up by the clock.. properties yes.. you should have options to make other items visable in the display with slider volumn controls.. "front" is what I was suggestion you activate for visability then turn that up. [05:13] so perl [05:13] scunizi sebsebseb : do i need to install kde?i want to try kde..but it wont work "sudo apt-get install kde" :) [05:13] meoblast001: you'll probably need mod_perl for that [05:13] RheaChiQ: sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop [05:14] libapache2-mod-perl2? [05:14] RheaChiQ: and once installed you change to it from the log in screen by selecting the session [05:14] RheaChiQ: do you need to .. no.. if you're confused now don't do it.. if you want to try then you can have both.. sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop .. it will take a while. [05:14] i want to use some less resources environment.i have a low resources.. :) [05:14] RheaChiQ: and if your up for it you can try out the nice blubuntu gdm theme :) log in window theme [05:14] RheaChiQ: then xubuntu-desktop .. that uses less [05:14] RheaChiQ: ok well kubuntu isn't it then, but xubuntu will be [05:14] meoblast001: that's probably it [05:14] scuniz : is it okay to install kde? :) [05:15] RheaChiQ: sure.. kde xubuntu whatever desktop system you want.. [05:15] scunizi : i can switch to gnome,kde,fluxbox or xebuntu whenever i want right? [05:15] RheaChiQ: yes. [05:15] RheaChiQ: but I would get use to one before trying another.. no sense in confusing yourself all at once. [05:16] lstarnes: still won't work [05:16] restarted apache too [05:16] RheaChiQ, KDE is very heavy [05:16] scunizi : it wont mess the OS if i installed fluxbox,xubuntu,kde? [05:16] RheaChiQ: ratpoison, use that... :) light as anything [05:17] RheaChiQ: not really.. [05:17] C-S-B__: heh heh and it has a really nice name :) :D [05:17] RheaChiQ: you can install all you want and select your session at boot [05:17] scunizi: "front" is displayed in switches and it is checked, but there is no slider bar for that [05:17] Hi, I am having problems when i change my mac address on my wireless device, it stops being able to connect to my AP. [05:17] C-S-B : ok sudo apt-get install ratpoison now [05:17] my ap has currently got no security and does not restrict based on mac addresses [05:17] aditya_: that just means that you have a different sound card then me.. sorry .. I tried. [05:17] how would i go about troubleshooting this? [05:18] meoblast001: you might need to add ExecCGI to the options somewhere [05:18] RheaChiQ: you can even do the older version of KDE, KDE 3 if adding the repo, or using that remix cd [05:18] !kde3 | RheaChiQ [05:18] RheaChiQ: Kubuntu 8.04 ships with KDE3 and full support. Jaunty does not include KDE3 but a remix install CD can be obtained at https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Kubuntu/Kde3/Jaunty . This is not officially supported. Support, instructions and ways to contribute can be found on the wiki page [05:18] C-S-B__: so removing the "map" lines stops the boot at "Starting up...." and it just stays on that screen [05:18] lstarnes: in my apache2 config? [05:18] RheaChiQ: i probably wouldnt try it, it was slightly sarcastic, ratpoison is very abstract [05:18] meoblast001: but first, try sudo a2enmod mod_perl2 [05:18] C-S-B__: otherwise, black screen after "Starting up..." [05:18] tristanmike: mmm... [05:18] meoblast001: er, sudo a2enmod perl [05:18] lstarnes: ERROR: Module mod_perl2 does not exist! [05:18] C-S-B ok :) im still waiting for the smplayer to finish [05:19] lstarnes: Module perl already enabled [05:19] tristanmike: whats your boot.ini? [05:19] tristanmike: ...windows [05:19] Hi I am having trouble when i change my mac address on my wireless device. the mac shows as being changed on ifconfig but when i try to connect to my wireless ap that has no security on it the connection times out and keeps asking me for a password. [05:19] C-S-B__: ....yeah.... lol [05:19] were can i get more usplash themes with the .so file [05:20] lstarnes: i think i'm supposed to have a CGI-BIN folder [05:20] meoblast001: by default, you're supposed to keep executable scripts in /usr/lib/cgi-bin/ [05:20] i'll install CGIIRC from the repos then uninstall CGIIRC [05:20] scunizi: ok thanx anyway === EvaStrmpebuk is now known as Wolford [05:20] C-S-B__: where's it located "usually" ? [05:21] tristanmike: root [05:21] SmokeyCastle have you tried rebooting your router ? [05:21] C-S-B__: the boot.ini file ? [05:21] yes, i had initially secured my router with a wep key [05:21] tristanmike: yup. [05:21] no luck [05:21] tristanmike: do you have another computer? [05:21] since trying to troubleshoot the issue i have removed all security on the router. [05:22] C-S-B__: no, but I can browse the Windows drive in Ubuntu [05:22] additionally when i restart the PC, the new mac gets removed and replaced with the old hardware mac [05:22] SmoKeyCastle: Wep key is as good as no security. [05:22] SmokeyCastle, try this if it will work. If you have a MODEM that has a battery in it. Remove the battery or both batteries and let it sit for about 1 minute and then put the battery back in and then reboot. [05:22] lstarnes: i haven't done this in a long time so what's the URL you do for things in /usr/lib/cgi-bin? [05:22] tristanmike: i was thinking you could irc on a serperate computer so you can chat while trying different configs [05:23] Curly_Q: never heard of such a thing.. but then there are some strange hardware configurations out there. :) [05:23] Most MODEMS have a DHCP server in them. [05:23] meoblast001: I'm not sure what it is by default. it might be /cgi-bin [05:24] i'm so confused [05:24] Anyone know when firefox 3.5 is going to be in the repo? [05:24] this documentation doesn't help much either [05:24] scunizi: ive never hear of a battery in a modem either, all eeproms ive seen ... [05:24] it assumes i'm a CGI pro [05:24] Scunizi, lots of the newer MODEMS have batteries which hold the IP address till it is re-Initialized when the battery is removed. [05:24] C-S-B__: boot.ini http://paste.ubuntu.com/210908/ [05:24] !ff35 | the-erm [05:24] the-erm: Firefox 3.5 Final is currently being built and tested for Jaunty. If you *need* to install it, the firefox-3.5 *beta* package from the repositories will be updated when testing is complete. See also http://is.gd/1jkNY [05:25] C-S-B__: maybe in 3rd world countries where the power is unpredictable.. [05:25] nevermind.. i'll work on it later [05:25] lstarnes: thanks for helping me with the packages [05:25] C-S-B__: still eproms work much better .. [05:25] It is somewhat like a CMOS BIOS battery holding a password protect. [05:25] tristanmike: maybe its because win thinks it's booting from the first disk... [05:26] C-S-B__: interesting idea... [05:27] ok, I am sick of downloading apps illegaly [05:27] Im going to try using ubuntu now [05:27] akore: you'll be much happier :) [05:27] tristanmike: change rdisk to (1) set grub hdd to be bootable in your bios and try that [05:27] all of my files are on the windows ntfs partition, and I want to integrate that into linux, so it's the default for everything [05:28] I dont want to move the location, and would like to continue saving files to that ntfs area [05:28] this /home this keeps popping up though [05:28] C-S-B__: on both lines ? [05:28] hi all: I have a Dell Inspiron 1526 I am dual booting Vista (yuck, came with it) and Ubuntu 8.10... not using 9.04 because my wireless stopped working when I upgraded... my question is this: although wireless works in BOTH Windows and Ubuntu 8.10, it is rock solid in Vista and spotty in U... sometimes doesn't connect at all, sometimes fine. WHY would the same card that is recognized and does work in both work BETTER in Vista? [05:28] so how do I make my desktop, document, pics, and all of that link to say drive C instead of the default linux partition [05:29] akore: loads of great opensource/freesoftware out there, once you got Ubuntu installed give Synaptic Package Manager a good browse ( system > administaration > synaptic package manager ) also to give you a feel of this kind of software check out http://www.osalt.com and http://www.linuxeq.com even though you can run most of these programs on Windows as well [05:29] !freedom | akore [05:29] akore: freedom is important. Ubuntu is as free as we can make it, which means mostly free software. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/licensing [05:29] tristanmike: yes, it might also be the disk(1) variable, im not too hot on the boot.ini config, im just checking [05:29] akore: /home is where your personal data lives in linux.. the file system is ext3 typically and better then ntfs.. so continuing to store stuff on the other partition might be "dangerous".. as in you might loose it at some point. [05:30] its a different disk [05:30] akore: move your stuff to the linux partition.. [05:30] tristanmike: actually, first try changing the disk(0) variable to disk(1) on both lines... [05:30] thenk you so much cabrey sebsebseb scunizi C-S-B__ ubottu :) im going to reboot now and try wireless cabrey :) [05:30] cant, need windows for itunes [05:30] for loading the ipod [05:30] akore scunizi Ext4 by default for clean installs in Ubuntu 9.10 released at the end of October [05:30] Brodymcd, are you using a wireless in your home or work place with a legit Point of Access? [05:30] hi all [05:31] akore: no windows.. no need for ntfs.. backup data stored there and reformat to ext3 and put the data back :) [05:31] akore scunizi and people need to clean install for full support [05:31] Curly_Q: yes [05:31] have a problem with building an app using flock.c. [05:31] Curly_Q: my home [05:31] any idea what package this is a part of? [05:31] sebsebseb: ext4 is the default file system in 9.10? I didn't realize that.. [05:31] scunizi, it isnt [05:31] scunizi: yep it is :) [05:31] Perhaps your antenna is not adequate for the distance between your wireless and Access Point. [05:31] ok.. which one is it. [05:31] scunizi: I still need windows 7 for apps I got from school such as photoshop, premiere pro, etc [05:32] tristanmike: you ok? [05:32] sebsebseb, i always have to select it and manually partition my drives [05:32] akore: then you're dual booting... [05:32] otherwise it will default to ext3 when i auto partition [05:32] mbse: I said 9.10 not 9.04 [05:32] /dev/dsp: Device or resource busy [05:32] scunizi: yes lol that may have been important to note [05:32] C-S-B__: yep, just getting it ready [05:32] sebastien, i know [05:32] akore for windows 7 use virtualbox [05:32] sebsebseb, i know [05:32] mituss: the apps I use dont work when in virtualized environments like premiere pro [05:32] scunizi mbse http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/karmic/alpha2 and average end users, don't get that, it's the development version, so bugs [05:32] unloess there was an update i didnt know about [05:33] I just plan on using ubuntu for daily shit [05:33] akore ou yes they do [05:33] tristanmike: so you are changing disk(0) to disk(1) ignore rdisk(0) for the min [05:33] Brodymcd, another factor is that your Ubuntu wireless setup is scanning on multiple channels which will give the results that you are describing. [05:33] C-S-B__: yes [05:33] mituss: they dont work well, I have tried [05:33] Curly_Q: I dn't know what that means - scanning on multiple channels... can I get that stopped? Is this why 9.04 doesn't work for me? [05:33] i could make you a movie and post it on youtube [05:34] mbse: I haven't ran Karmic yet, but it says on that page that Ext4 will be default and so :) [05:34] and show you that all cs3 adobe [05:34] Curly_Q: I would be willing to buy a different router if that would help. [05:34] work under virtualized env [05:34] sebsebseb: AH HA.. karmac is going to be ext4 by default. that's cool.. that would mean a full backup, clean install, restore to use it properly. [05:34] sebsebseb, ah ok [05:34] C-S-B__: brb [05:34] scunizi: yes exactly as I was saying basicalley [05:34] command to send terminal output to a txt file? even better, to a pastebin? [05:34] It is possible Brodymcd. Not only that, it may be that the drivers you have for Ubuntu are not backwards compatible for the wireless device, etc. [05:34] sebsebseb: got it. [05:34] and if i'm correct do you give me your house and car keys? [05:35] Crayboff: install pastebinit, then do commandgoeshere | pastebinit [05:35] thanks rww [05:35] For example: 802.11 g etc. [05:35] 12121212221212121212121 [05:35] jang_: hello [05:35] Curly_Q: It is a Broadcom card... I bought a Dell because I (mistakenly) assumed since they load U, it would work well out of the box [05:35] rww, does that work with profilers? [05:36] brodymcd: depends on what features you choose.. I've got a vostro 1400 and I made sure to upgrade to nvidia and changed the wireless card to one that was compatible.. research.. research.. research [05:36] scunizi: a little off topic here, but Fedora 11 already uses it by default :) and the 2.6.30 kernel or now a slighty later one [05:36] Crayboff: I don't know. Other possibilities would be commandnamehere > /path/to/output/file or look in the program's man page for an option to redirect output [05:37] karmic has 2.6.31 now [05:37] rww: good [05:37] Brodymcd it appears that the drivers with Windows is compatible with the device but there seems to be a compatibility problem with Ubuntu. If you purchase a newer device or look on Google for a compatible device. [05:37] list [05:37] mituss: in a native environment, my projects render much faster. [05:37] hi all [05:37] sebsebseb: they've always been a little more cutting edge.. sometimes you pay for that :) [05:37] mituss: I dont doubt you can get it to work, but it wouldnt be worth it [05:37] hi BeatlesFan - good band [05:37] hihi rww [05:37] how long does ebox usually take to install its like in hang mode now for about 5 minutes [05:38] mituss: and I am familiar with virtualbox, so i tried it but wasnt satisfied [05:38] scunizi: yeah I want to put it on as host OS, but i'll still help here when I do that [05:38] thx [05:38] C-S-B__: same as before, "Starting up..." then blinks to black screen, it's almost like it's going to boot, get the white bar at the bottom, but it never comes [05:38] sebsebseb: why? as host? [05:38] scunizi: then maybe 9.10 will become my host [05:38] could someone plz tell me were i can download some usplash .so files? [05:38] scunizi: now we go pm :) [05:38] C-S-B__: whats your boot.ini now? [05:39] Daemon_ I think on www.gnome-look.org - maybe [05:39] C-S-B__: same as before expect the disk numbers changed from 0 to 1 on both lines [05:39] sebsebseb: I'm still on hardy on the laptop and intrepid on the desktop.. I like to watch what the problems are for new releases before installing or upgrading.. they are both production machines.. [05:39] Curly_Q: I have done the legwork on the card before, way back at 8.04... and so it is supported somehow, but since a lot of this stuff is above my head, it gets tough. I'm thrilled there are 2 people helping me tonight - usually no one will help me with this. SO... I would PREFER to use 9.04 AND it claims Broadcom works - so how can I get the exact model of the wireless and then determine how to make things work? [05:39] PC2-6400 RAM is 800Mhz DDR2 right? [05:40] and not 667Mhz, right? [05:40] tristanmike: how long did you wait? [05:40] Daemon_, are you running kubuntu? [05:40] C-S-B__: a minute, maybe two [05:40] Hey where are firefox bookmarks stored? [05:41] scunizi: ah ok [05:41] Ruby1: in the hidden .mozilla folder in home [05:41] how do I view hidden folders? [05:41] Brodymcd, just put it this way, if Ubuntu is a new concept with Linux, then, most likely the drivers with Ubuntu is cutting edge drivers. Which means that with Windows, there is privided backwards compatibility. Ubuntu on the other hand will deal with the latest technology which leaves the older hardware in the lurch so to speak. [05:41] Nautilus? [05:41] Ruby1: ~/.mozilla/firefox/... [05:41] sebsebseb: I like to play but not too hard. :) [05:41] C-S-B__: it should be noted, the hard drive light on my case ceases to blink/flash [05:41] Ruby1: open home and ctrl h. or view > show hidden files and folders [05:41] Ruby1 nautilus, press Ctrl-H [05:41] Ruby1: found your USB stick then? [05:41] dual boot question: I am going to dual-boot my desktop with WinXP (to run carbonite backup and for my wife) and then occasionally boot into 9.04 for me... carbonite will only backup the MAIN drive, so how can I have all my data stored in win partition and then just small linux partition for me to run sometimes. [05:42] tristanmike: this is solvable! [05:42] C-S-B__: I'm all in :D [05:42] Ah no [05:42] I realized [05:42] oldude67: looking there all the files are targz files how do i get the .so files needed for SUM? [05:42] I could upload the information from this computer onto the internet [05:42] and send the link to the other computer [05:42] Hi, I need to open the 5900 tcp port to use vnc with a WinXP running into Virtual Box [05:42] Not much info I need to be storing [05:43] quit [05:43] How can I do that? [05:43] Anyway [05:43] Brodymcd, there is one thing that I have questions about is that in the BIOS settings, does Ubuntu use PLUG AND PLAY or is that shut off. That could be a factor. [05:43] I went into home [05:43] pressed ctrl h [05:44] folders flashed, no mozilla [05:44] Gran_Ger what is status of firewall [05:45] Uh [05:45] C-S-B__: ok, is it possible that it's the way the mother handles sata ? [05:45] Little help [05:46] Ruby1: .mozilla [05:46] C-S-B_*motherboard [05:46] Trying /media/disk/.mozilla [05:46] tristanmike: im leaning towwards blackmagic at the moment [05:46] I'm trying to get to a disk from the live cd to copy it [05:46] YuSsOuF: http://paste.ubuntu.com/210919/ [05:46] er [05:46] file [05:46] from the live cd [05:46] Ruby1: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. === andrew_ is now known as FAMBOLUGA [05:47] hey...what's a 'search domain'? [05:47] when I click "go to inbox" with gmail notifier it doesnt do anything [05:47] C-S-B_, heheh [05:47] Curly-Q: don't know about the plug-and-play... how would I check that? [05:47] gee [05:47] tristanmike: you may as well stick those map lines back in... [05:48] then try booting again. [05:48] would be nice to have a slight idea as to what to do [05:48] Brodymcd, the only to find out is to go into the CMOS setup and turn either Plug and Play on or off and see if the drivers work. [05:48] tristanmike: in /boot/grub/menu.lst [05:48] I'm in the root folder/whatever [05:48] Its set in preferences, view hidden folders [05:48] i cant find .mozilla [05:49] Curly_Q: I will try that - many thanks! [05:49] rww: it worked, thanks [05:49] Plug and Play is a Windows thing. [05:49] C-S-B_, I did that first thing ;) [05:49] the pastebin worked for the profiler, i mean, rww [05:49] Crayboff: awesome, glad I could help :) [05:49] Curly_Q: Yeah, Plug and Play doesn't exist in Linux... it just works. [05:49] Hi I am having trouble when i change my mac address on my wireless device. the mac shows as being changed on ifconfig but when i try to connect to my wireless ap that has no security on it the connection times out and keeps asking me for a password. I have restarted my wireless router, reset the config on the router and removed the security on the router. I have previously changed my mac on windows and was able to connect successfully to the router usin [05:49] Can someone help me get multimonitor support to work in 8.10 [05:49] Curly_Q: Or is that (tm) Apple? Meh. [05:50] PROGRESS [05:50] tristanmike: you tried both grub configs after altering boot.ini? [05:50] Jimmio Apple is simply a Windows thing too. [05:50] Curly_Q: Uhh... What? xP [05:51] tristanmike: have you considered installing grub on your windows drive? [05:51] The point is that most computers are designed for Windows. If you use Ubuntu or any Linux forum, then, you are bound to have all of these questions here because of the CMOS setup. [05:53] Especially when dual booting. [05:53] I get no signal on my second monitor and nothing shows up in the screen resolution [05:53] Is there something like multimon for Linux? [05:53] is there a way to build deps from source? I know that I can build apps from source. [05:53] C-S-B_, I guess I considered it, I sort of wanted to keep it completely separate, but whatever works [05:54] Ah [05:54] Uh [05:54] my Ubuntu 9.04 computer shows much less startup messages (befor login) than another one. How can I fix that?

[06:08] is there some command to load the mmc reader? like do i have to locate it in fdisk first? [06:08] SmokeyCastle, the only thing that I can think of in this case is that if wireless works on one boot but not on the other, there may be a compatitibility issue perhaps in the BIOS CMOS setup which works with Windows and must be set otherwise with Ubuntu and/or a driver or antenna issue. [06:08] root nautilus is bad... [06:08] is there some command to load the mmc reader? like do i have to locate it in fdisk first?

[06:13] scunizi, ironaically enough i might know the reason, i doubt it since you havent found a solution. i think i remember that you have to unmount it properly in vista or xp or whateever windows system you have and then boot the linux and it should work. i do not know [06:14] OI [06:14] tristanmike: how about you just kill windows and use it as storage lol :) [06:14] mralexandro: that might be true but it's never been on a win system.. only linux [06:14] tristania [06:15] scunizi, oh:/ well i will try and i will let you know:D [06:15] mralexandro: k [06:15] C-S-B_: I haven't used Windows in years, the only reason I've installed it is because my 50+ year old father wants me to play Battlefield 2 with him.... LOL [06:15] scunizi, back in 10 [06:15] where are the smbcredentials stored? [06:15] tristanmike: hey.. I resemble that age [06:15] how would i allow permission to install a game on cd rom .. wine tells me i don't have permission? [06:16] scunizi: maybe you can play with him :P [06:16] tristanmike: I like FPS games.. blowing things up and chasing others is fun [06:16] asteroids [06:16] tristanmike: but thanks for the offer :) [06:17] Scunizi, try shutting off the computer and pulling out the card and waiting about 1 minute. Then put the card back and see if the BIOS recognizes it again. The card may be not seated in the slot. [06:17] tristanmike: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=3438 [06:17] C-S-B_: I suppose for now, I'm "giving up" but I'll find an answer dang nabbit [06:17] i like rpgs, getting rich by using the brain [06:17] tristanmike: wine kind of works [06:17] tristanmike: never give up. [06:17] :) [06:17] Curly_Q: ah.. I've done everything.. it works when I use an external card reader. It's just the built in that's failing.. and I keep the "dummy plug" in it at all times to keep the dirt out too. [06:17] pop a tape in the old eight track player and play Battlefield 2. sounds like fun [06:18] FPS are made for idiots, thats why so much peoples using that ( just like TV) [06:18] C-S-B_: "kinda works" doesn't really cut the mustard in fast paced, online, fps, I've already checked wine ;) believe me, I didn't want to install Windows, but can't say no to the old man, no offence scunizi ;P [06:18] is there anyone who can give me a hand with that issue? [06:18] alteregoa: don't judge.. we could say the same about other but leave them to what they like.. [06:18] *others [06:18] Scunizi, then it seems obvious that the external is compatible and the internal fails. [06:18] :), anyone knowns how to record sound from commandline [06:18] i don't judge, i just told the truth [06:19] tristanmike: of course.. respect thy elders :) [06:19] does anyone here know how to change the color of text while renaming a file? When I try to rename a file it becomes white on white while typing [06:19] Curly_Q: the internal use to be compatible.. it just stopped. [06:19] xILegerityIx: it will be in your theme config [06:20] !karmic [06:20] Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [06:20] Hi ok i am back, i tried the flush dns commands given to me before and neither worked. [06:20] Scunizi, the only thing I would recommend for your situation and most all of the comments here on this channel is to keep LOGS of any change you have made. Keep a good LOG BOOK and you will and can backtrack what and where the problem lies. [06:20] as in neither was the correct wording to actually be used [06:21] i tried ifconfig /flushdns [06:21] also /flush dns cache [06:22] Curly_Q: I've been at this for 3 years and have figured what works and what doesn't for me.. unfortunately the occational install might screw something up. but my suspicion is that an update changed something or the hardware just failed. [06:22] additionally dns comes into play after the connection with the AP is established, ie after i have recieved an ip address from the ap (which i have not gotten to that stage yet [06:22] SmokeyCastle, have you tried to run a straight through RJ45 cable directly to the internet rather than through your router? [06:22] curly_q, i am trying to change the mac address on my wifi, I am connected through the AP right now speaking to you. [06:22] Hello. :) [06:23] the problem is that when i change the mac address i can no longer connect [06:23] C-S-B_: well, thanks for your help, I'm going to try my luck with the ATI drivers now [06:23] anyone here know how to set up the autostart apps in XFCE 4.6? [06:23] tristanmike: youre just on painful suicide missions arent you? [06:23] would be much appreciated.... [06:23] Has anybody been able to get the SoundBlaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio PCIe sound card to work in 9.04 under x64? [06:23] tristanmike: ill see you in 5? [06:23] SmoKeyCastle: I'm thinking that you need to release and renew your ip address.. if you're getting an address with dhcp.. [06:24] C-S-B_: hopefully ?? [06:25] The actual problem is not IP address related. The issue is that after changing my mac address in linux I suddenly become unable to establish a connection or session with my wireless access point. [06:25] SmokeyCastle, anytime you change the MAC Address, you are telling the router it is a counterfeit. It is possible that your Internet Provider won't allow another MAC address unless you inform them of the change. I have seen this happen. In fact, I had to tell the IP that I have so many MAC addresses and had to inform them of it. I am not sure if that is the case with you. [06:25] alucardromero: i helped a friend w/ this...to no avail....aparently the card is "supported"...but working is a different story [06:25] SmoKeyCastle: the mac you are changing to, does it exit on the network? [06:25] The router is owned by me [06:25] I cannot even connect to the router and get an IP address [06:25] antonius602: Yeah, I've Googled everything I could, and I have found no success. [06:25] Anyone free to help someone? [06:25] I bring the wifi device down using ifconfig, change the mac, then bring the device back up using ifconfig [06:26] alucardromero: drivers DO exists...iirc [06:26] then try to connect, no luck [06:26] exist [06:26] is there some logs somewhere that show me how far in the connection i was able to get? [06:26] Curly_Q: SmoKeyCastle when you're behind a router the isp doesn't know how many machines are hooked up .. they can only ping the "internet modem".. unless the modem itself is also the router.. then all bets are off. [06:26] Hmm... I guess it's finding and compiling. [06:26] SmoKeyCastle: dmesg | tail? [06:26] i want to connect to the wireless router after i have changed my mac [06:26] currently i cannot connect to the router. [06:26] the router is owned by me [06:27] SmokeyCastle, have you unplugged your router before changing the MAC Address? In other words, Rebooting the computer and first shutting down and litteraly unplugging the router voltage cable? === joshthecoder is now known as joshthecoder_afk [06:27] alucardromero: pretty sure...the creative website??? maybe...can't recall mate [06:27] Q [06:27] Hmm... I'll check it out. [06:27] [06:27] [06:27] [06:27] konnerz: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:27] you asked me to do that before, i spent 15 mins afterwards re inputting the config [06:28] :q [06:28] Even if you are behind a firewall or router, the MAC address is broadcasted. [06:29] SmoKeyCastle: is there a device that shares the mac of the one you are changing your card to? [06:29] so, when changing /etc/network/interfaces to have a static IP what are the network and broadcast directives? [06:29] Curly_Q: I cannot even connect to the router with the new mac address. I have connected to the router previously using windows with the new mac address and that worked fine. [06:30] SmokeyCastle, here is another solution. If you want to change your MAC address, why not just install another NIC CARD. [06:30] network 192.168.1.0 ... broadcast 192.168.1.255, I think I'm okay with address, gateway and netmask === sleepy_cat is now known as c_nick [06:30] Because i need a specific mac address to connect to the ap at work [06:30] should different machines have different Bcast from ifconfig? [06:30] SmoKeyCastle: is there a device that shares the mac of the one you are changing your card to? [06:31] my work computer that is currently pretending to be a dead toaster [06:31] work laptop rather [06:31] SmoKeyCastle: is that machine turned off? [06:31] ar [06:31] that machine is turned off [06:31] SmoKeyCastle: have you tried to change the mac then bring the nick card down (turn off) then back up again? that should make the machine request a new ip from the router with the new mac address I would think. [06:31] how to copy from one folder to another in the terminal (ubuntu 8.04) [06:32] i have brought the wlan0 down then changed the mac then brought it back up [06:32] c_nick: cp /folder/location/from/file /folder/location/to [06:32] after bringing it back up i cannot connect. if i bring it down again atd change the mac to the wifi's default mac then bring it back up again i am able to connect [06:32] thanks [06:33] SmoKeyCastle: ah..a perplexing problem.. [06:33] SmokeyCastle, if you change your MAC address, have you tried ifup eth0 or eth1 etc? [06:33] no? [06:34] what does that do? [06:34] SmoKeyCastle: what if you try a mac that is not your work laptops, can you connect then? [06:34] It tells the system to see your MAC address and your NIC card. [06:34] SmoKeyCastle: as in a completely made up mac [06:34] thats a good question C-S-B! [06:34] brb will try that [06:35] hi === shino_ is now known as Guest36001 [06:38] SmoKeyCastle: well? [06:38] Anyone have problems installing 9.04 in Virtualbox? Im stuck on 'scanning mirror' [06:38] no luck [06:39] i want to increase fan speed on my xps m1330 laptop. any sugestion/ideas/guide/software? [06:39] SmoKeyCastle: looks like its a problem with the state your card is in after changing the mac... [06:39] how do i fix/check that? [06:39] SmokeyCastle try this: after you change your MAC address ping localhost [06:40] SmoKeyCastle: what chipset? [06:40] b43? [06:40] how do i check that C-S-B [06:41] Also try: ping 127.0.0.1 [06:41] Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN [Kedron] shown in system testing [06:41] loopback ip address? [06:41] is it a pci or usb adapter? lspci -vv will show [06:41] ok do i have to declare that i am trying to ping out of the wlan0? [06:42] inbuilt [06:42] Try it just as it is: 127.0.0.1 [06:43] Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN [Kedron] Network Connection (rev 61) [06:43] the lspci -vv showed it [06:44] OK! It seems that your MAC change works. However, either the router or switch or whatever you have doesn't like it if you can ping 127.0.0.1 [06:44] so change the mac, bring the device back up, try to connect to the AP (which will fail) then try the loopback ip address? [06:45] ok give me a second to test the ping [06:45] That is a tough call Smokey. I am trying to figure this one out with you. === nabeel is now known as Guest25605 [06:47] SmoKeyCastle: i dont know if it resets the mac, but you could try sudo service networking restart as well [06:47] Smokey another thing to remember is that if you have dual booting and if you are running two operating systems at the same time such as with VMWARE, both OS's will demand a new IP config which will not be compatible. I hope you understand that. [06:48] I am having trouble getting the tvout to work on my nvidia geforce2 mx440, I have the driver installed. I think it has something to do with the xorg.conf file? http://paste.ubuntu.com/210936/ [06:49] hey anyone setupped flashfxp for linux from this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=351841 ?

[06:49] From 192.168.1.12 icmp_seq=1 Destination Host Unreachable [06:50] loopback does not work after the mac change [06:50] SmoKeyCastle1: not pinging localhost is bad.:( [06:50] Smokey, It is obvious that if you see anything with a 192.168.anything, it means that you are assigned a Dynamic IP address. [06:50] SmoKeyCastle1: have you tried restarting networking? [06:51] Curly_q that stats were from when i was connected with the wireless using my normal mac [06:51] I see. [06:51] What are the stats when you change the MAC address? [06:51] Curly_Q: dns will cache the ones from when it last connected, just wont ping [06:51] from lspci -vv [06:51] ? [06:52] can you say me please what dependency should i install ? i get this "Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libartsc0 (>= 1.5.0-1) [06:52] " while trying to install flashfxp [06:52] SmoKeyCastle1: try restarting networking post mac chang [06:52] *change [06:52] Flush the cache and try again. [06:52] C-S-B: how do i restart networking? [06:52] SmoKeyCastle1: sudo service networking restart [06:53] ok [06:53] will try that [06:53] Hello there C-S-B nice to meet you. You seem like a knowledgeable person. [06:54] hi Curly_Q [06:54] Curly_Q: im not too bad... [06:54] Hey there C-S-B.

[07:14] Vise, you cannot own anything unless you are root. [07:14] vise: chown/chmod? [07:15] iceroot, I removed flashplugin-nonfree and installed adobe-flashplugin . Now it doesn't show up in about:plugins in firefox [07:15] Curly_Q, Giraffe_, I tried sudo chown vise ./more_ext where more_ext is the mount folder. It still says operation not permitted... [07:15] Whats the difference between 9.04 DVD and CD, exactly ? [07:15] more pre-installed packages ? [07:15] vise: hmm [07:15] Vise, you don't have permissions.

I am able to see there are updates available... just no way to get them :( [07:28] rww: lol ok good cause I asked like 4 days ago and i was told 3-4 days :P [07:28] mneptok, I use sudo for mounting.. sudo mount /dev/sda6 /media/more_ext [07:29] ActionParsnip, bios don't have no option for wifi, done looked [07:29] it would be really really nice if clam updated itself :)... but for now just making sure I have this installed correctly would be nice [07:29] hey guys [07:29] i'm having an issue with my ipod [07:29] testtestasss: have you found any guides for you laptop make / model [07:29] vise: sudo chown -R vise:vise /media/more_ext [07:30] !ipod > lobf [07:30] lobf, please see my private message [07:30] I was having some troubles with it that ended up with me having to transfer my entire 26 gig collection back onto it. midway through the machine froze, i had to restart, and now it doesn't recognize my ipod [07:30] it says "unable to mount location" [07:30] How could I move over 4GB file away from my ubuntu? [07:30] mneptok, Nope.. Still gives operation not permitted. [07:30] cp -r to usb, too big file(over 4GB) [07:30] vise: what format is this partition? [07:31] ftp, on other side fireftp says it's too big [07:31] If I change ftp client will my ftp server send the file still? [07:31] Lartza_: what filesystem is the other side using? FAT32, NTFS, etc? [07:31] mneptok, I don't remember. I just use mkfs on /dev/sda6.. whatever is the default format that way.. [07:31] rww: NTFS [07:32] but i think it's only the ftp client's problem I am using [07:32] OH, but my usb had fat32 [07:32] hi, i have been looking for a new notebook; because of certification i looked at dell (for a m1330 or something similar) - could not find it on the website: did they quit the collaboration with ubuntu? [07:32] Lartza_: yeah, FAT32 can't do files bigger than 4GB, so that explains that [07:32] well with ftp, will the server send over 4gb? [07:32] ext3 to ntfs [07:32] anybody know anything about my issue? [07:32] Lartza_: I've done it in the past with Filezilla, I think. [07:33] So.... [07:33] Alright, juts to make sure since i moved 4gb with usb1.1 which was slowww... dont wantt o start again with ftp and get stuck on 4gb too [07:33] Does anyone have an idea why my audio desyncs with the video when recording with gtk-recordmydesktop? [07:34] No clue, it's always worked for me [07:34] xerox1: http://dell.com/ubuntu [07:34] Even with my old computer [07:34] So, would I be frowned upon here if I said that Arch was the best Linux distro? [07:34] may have made a slightly mistake. for my ubuntu 8.04 box I installed everything as root user before disabling the account [07:34] plantain_chip: yes. so stop. [07:35] how does this mean all the bits setup (crons etc) will no longer function as root doesn't exsist [07:35] Okay, I was joking [07:35] mneptok, thx, exactly what i was looking for [07:36] @Lartza: If it is your own network, you'll probably have a speed of 100mbps, whereas USB 1.1 is 12mbps. === mcasadevall is now known as NCommander [07:37] How do I register a username and password for this server?

[07:38] mneptok, rww, Giraffe_, Done! The format was vfat. I don't still understand why it didn't allow me to change the permission. I know perms don't exist with vfat. But then it should atleast not make it root if it can't be changed. Anyway.. I formatted it to ext3 and then did a sudo chown.. Its working fine now.. Thank you! [07:39] sweet, i guessed right [07:39] testtestasss: I recommend stripping down a copy of windows and putting it on a USB stick and booting into windows that way [07:39] redsoxking, i think you should declare the external drive in fstab [07:39] sigh lol :( [07:39] saw that coming lol [07:40] complain to the manufacture of the motherboard... [07:40] redsoxking, I think that involves accessing the hd directly. I don't know if virtual box can allow accessing hds like /dev/sda1 etc directly... [07:40] yea, i know the story :P [07:40] Severity2, whaqt is fstab? is it inside of virtual box or a seperate app? [07:40] @redsoxking: It shouldn't be harder than to choose Windows 7 as OS in Machine, then set the virtual harddrive-location to the external harddrive, and make sure it is mounted every time you want to run Windows 7. However, it will be slower than running it from an internal virtual harddrive. [07:40] i was asking for credentials in the fstab [07:41] testtestasss: no seriously.. complain.. they wont help you when you complain.. but complain.. it has to start somewhere.. [07:41] redsoxking, it is the file in your box that list down all filesystems automounted on startup [07:41] where are they stored? or cached? [07:41] you declare there the mountpoint the permission etc [07:41] the cifs permissions [07:42] redsoxking, [07:42] heres what i understand [07:42] is it possible to dual boot between a xen hypervisor and regular ubuntu install? [07:42] Does anyone have an idea why my audio desyncs with the video when recording with gtk-recordmydesktop? [07:42] virtualboc is installed on your machine right? [07:42] OttifantSir, my problem is that im on an old laptop with a 60gb hdd with a dual boot of xp and ubuntu 9.04, and my grub bootloader is whipped out when i do a normal install [07:42] white sox, jackson capable [07:42] but you want the .vdi(virtual hardisk to be saved on your usb?) [07:43] i mean on your external [07:43] i think vbox can handle your situation as is [07:43] redsoxking, Where does your w7 come in picture then [07:43] vise, just to see [07:43] just make sure that your machine can detect the external hard disk [07:44] Hello - I have Ubuntu Server 9.04 installed on a HPDL360-G6. Multiple servers run fine, and some have random lock ups that are unexplained in the logs. They seem to lock up, not allowing me to reboot, or issue any local commands. #shutdown -r now, I can see was initiated, but it hangs on multiple KxxProcess scripts [07:44] Severity2, so I can install VirtualBox to my external hdd via the synaptic? [07:44] I keep guessing something is wrong with the raid drivers in Ubuntu, but wanted to check if anyone had suggestions? [07:44] redsoxking, when you make a virtual hardisk(where the virtual os will be installed) you will have the option on where you will save it === b1 is now known as ce_pingxxxxx_smg [07:44] wt?

[07:46] redsoxking, no problem i understand :) [07:46] @redsoxking: I don't see the problem: Install Virtualbox from virtualbox.org, create a Wndows 7 machine, make a .vdi (Virtual Disk Image) on your external harddrive, make sure it is mounted before starting the machine. Should work fine. [07:46] i think you can do that [07:46] !ff35 [07:46] Firefox 3.5 Final is currently being built and tested for Jaunty.

Plenty of threads for that at ubuntuforums.org [07:54] skyl: not wanting to hear you cry, what are you trying to do? [07:54] I need data that I have on this drive [07:54] but i need to access it in windows? [07:54] *-? [07:55] or, if you can tell me why ubuntu won't recognize my ipod we could skip all this [07:55] lobf, OttifantSir, Yes grub is lost. But in case you don't want to do the live cd thing, you can get Grub4DOS and install it in windows. That will add grub.

If you have more than one OS, it's what lets you choose which one to use. [07:56] ah [07:56] and it's "USB Drive" [07:56] skyl: well the modem/router config is off topic but you need to forward port 80 to your server ip (the setting on your modem will most likely be under nat) [07:57] lobf, Immediately after plugging your ipod, type dmesg at console.

[08:01] how does one get vimeo to work on ubuntu under firefox, also can I upgrade to firefox 3.5, running desktop 9.04 [08:01] @vegombrei: You can also get it from the menu Programs -> Add/Remove... -> Search for winff. Make sure you have "All Available Programs" checked. in the drop-down list to the left of the search bar. [08:01] lobf, Uhm.. Are you sure there is no "/dev/sdb" or something like that displayed? Try plugging it in in some other usb port.. (say 1.0 instead of 2.0 or 2.0 instead of 1.0) and then check for dmesg again... [08:02] @vegombrei: No need for Wine.

[08:50] what kind of devices have a 16 key hw address? [08:50] upgraded to jaunty and now amarok only plays some mp3s and not others... what is that??? [08:50] hello i got an eeepc 1000he with intel gma 950 and the it doesnt detect my external monitor when i resume my system [08:50] does anyone know that issue{ [08:50] { [08:51] damn. thats supposed to be ? [08:51] hatori, no but there is plenty of docs about getting eepc to work right [08:52] !debian [08:52] Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu! [08:52] How is the Ubuntu community different from the Debian community? [08:54] Faithful: well its working all right. might as well just be some karmic issue [08:55] could someone explain how to turn on PAE mode? I want to use more than 4G of ram without having to reinstall as 64bit [08:55] !enter | hatori [08:55] hatori: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [08:55] JoeM, You have to recompile kernel with PAE option i think.. [08:56] hmm... that's almost as irritating as having to reinstall [08:57] Why does '~$ sudo netstat -a -n -o -p –inet –inet6 | grep ekiga > ekiga.txt' respond with "usage:"? [08:57] hmm... besides 2 years of configuration tweaks, what do I risk losing if I reinstall as 64bit? [08:57] IE, wine still work (have one app I need for work), all basic apps, etc [08:58] JoeM, Why would you lose if you reinstall? You just format the partition.. You have to backup required data (installer packages) [08:58] of course you need to install phonon-backend-xine for amarok to play *all* mp3s ??? [08:58] bullgard4: try using --inet instead of --inet and --inet6 [08:59] visa some apps don't work under 64bit [08:59] ment vise there, heh [08:59] bullgard4: wait, never mind. What you had looks correct, but it's using something else instead of -- [09:00] JoeM: what do you need to run that doesn't work? [09:01] * Mayazcherquoi is away: Can't you see that i'm away? Gosh! [09:01] !away > Mayazcherquoi [09:01] Mayazcherquoi, please see my private message [09:01] http://www.lostworlds.lv/go.php?1139730844 [09:01] adam7 I haven't installed yet, hence I'm asking what (basic things, like wine) doesn't work [09:02] Sorry lstarnes :( [09:02] Didn't know it was such a nuisence. [09:02] JoeM: AFAIK wine works in 64bit [09:02] JoeM, No idea about 64 bit.. [09:02] !away [09:02] You should avoid noisy away messages in a busy channel like #ubuntu, or other Ubuntu channels; it causes excessive scrolling which is unfair to new users. Use the command "/away " to set your client away silently. See also «/msg ubottu Guidelines» [09:03] adam7 main things I need are Hamachi (via google appears it will work), Synergy, wine, skype, vuze , wmctrl... just about everything else is default installed so they should work [09:03] JoeM: almost anything open source will work [09:03] JoeM: I use skype, that works === giarc111 is now known as giarca [09:05] adam7 debating on just moving current 32bit to new hardware (but then I'd have to deal with turning PAE back on after any kernel updates) or just doing 64bit clean install and trying to remember all the extra things I installed [09:05] JoeM: also, if you don't reformat /home then you can keep your settings [09:05] JoeM: and synaptic can give you a list of installed packages [09:05] JoeM: and if you want, you can probably copy /etc and then dump that in your 64bit install [09:07] adam7 really... I didn't think that would work... (the /etc part) [09:07] lstarnes: '~$ sudo netstat -a -n -o -p –inet | grep ekiga works but does not produce output. -- So -inet6 is the culprit. [09:07] JoeM: why not? it's all config files [09:07] adam7 which would you do, I'm putting together a i7 920 system [09:07] adam7 I don't know which sections of the OS are different under 64bit [09:07] Hi guys, can some one help me with name resolution? [09:07] bullgard4: 'sudo netstat -anop --inet --inet6' worked for me [09:07] IP/name resolution is shocking. [09:08] I need an epson workhorse 500 print driver [09:08] moin [09:08] It just turns itself off. [09:08] adam7 I have about 2 years worth of little changes I've made, most of which I don't even remember (but I will when I start saying WHY WON'T THIS WORK...) [09:08] and then on again after ~20seconds [09:08] JoeM: I've been using 64bit for a couple of years, so I'm not much help in migrating... [09:08] adam7 heh, I'm thinking that would be the better way... just a bit more painful to get things back [09:08] JoeM: but you should be able to copy /home and /etc to a new install with minimal trouble, and then use Synaptic to get a list of teh installed packages and reinstall them [09:08] adam7 do you have any experience with SSD? [09:09] JoeM: nope [09:09] lstarnes: For me too. -- Thank you very much for your help. [09:09] JoeM: I just have an AMDx2 that I run my 64bit on with a normal drive [09:09] works great [09:09] quick question, is there a way for me to make an ISO image of my current ubuntu, that I can use to boot into a new computer with all of my same apps and configs? [09:10] adam7 just got an i7 920, OCZ Vertex 30G for the OS drive and Samsung SpinPoint F1 (2x in RAID 0) for /home [09:10] JoeM: is an i7 an intel quad? [09:10] JoeM: how much RAM do you have? [09:10] !clone [09:10] To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [09:10] adam7 yeah, it's the quad [09:11] adam7 right now 6G that I can use, I have another 2G but since the i7 uses tri-channel I need to buy two more sticks (so I'll have 12G in a few weeks) [09:11] Hey guys. [09:11] adam7 with 6-12G of ram, would it be safe to go without a swap? [09:11] morning! I've some problems setting up kerberos (active directory) auth for offline clients (eg laptops) [09:11] JoeM: I have no idea what anyone would possibly use that much RAM for, but anyway. You'll need to enable PAE or use 64bit to use it all [09:11] I configure pam for local linux auth and krb5 [09:12] ubottu, ur pretty helpful for a boot lol [09:12] JoeM: I occasionally go without swap with 2gb, you should be fine. But if you want to use hibernate you'll need 1:1 RAM:swap [09:12] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [09:12] additionally pam_ccreds.so [09:12] Has anyone here who uses Transmission notice freezing in the program? [09:12] I can login with the local unix pw and the ad pw when online [09:12] adam7 yeah, I knew that part (PAE or 64bit)... hmm hibernate would be good [09:12] but I always get the 60 second timeout when offline with the ad password [09:13] I'm not making an ass out of myself, but I just want to point it out. [09:13] hi.. is there a way for me to join my Desktop in windows 2003 Domain? [09:13] hi [09:13] hi! if i want to install ubuntu on some 16 servers, and would like to do this with some kind of network-install of some pre-built image that i have compiled, what system should i look at? [09:13] adam7 think 17G would be enough for a OS partition (I could split my 30G SSD for swap)? [09:13] Hey, anyone here the knows anything about getting ubuntu and vista to talk over a network? I installed samba, and did what i am suppose to, but they still wont find each other? [09:13] JoeM: if the only drive you have is that SSD I would just forget hibernate and use it all for root [09:14] pirx: 8.04LTS would be my guess. [09:14] pirx: if they're identical servers, you could make a disk image and use dd to write it [09:14] adam7 I'll have 2TB for home, so I can easily put it there, but the SSD is the faster one [09:15] vigo: yes, it will be 8.04lts version of ubuntu, but i am looking for some way to "pump" it out to the servers, with some software pre-installed [09:15] JoeM: unless your doing some crazy 3d rendering or something you're never going to use more than 3 gb probably [09:15] Hello. Can anyone with libpng3 please send me /usr/lib/libpng.so.3? [09:15] That is, if you're on a 32-bit system. [09:15] adam7 not yet, but I may in the future... but plan to upgrade again before than anyway [09:15] JoeM: but anyway, if you want to use hibernate you can stick the swap parition on one of your drives [09:16] adam7: hmm. doesnt that sound kind of primitive? :) isnt there some "boot and install over network" system? [09:16] pirx: What adam7 said was on time, like a net install or better yet a mv or cp [09:16] adam7 you've been helpful, I think I'll try a fresh install of 9.04 64bit and if it's too painful or some things don't work I'll try PAE mode instead [09:16] pirx: there is, but I've never used it :) [09:16] !install | pirx [09:16] pirx: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways.

[09:16] pirx: also, there is a channel for ubuntu servers, #ubuntu-server I think [09:16] <_zic> hello [09:17] hiug: depends on your requirements and definitions of 'better' [09:17] hiug: that's a matter of opinion [09:17] _zic, hi [09:17] adam7: ah yes, there is, thanks! [09:17] Myrtti, also a matter of specifics. [09:17] pirx: they'll know more about that then us [09:17] probably [09:17] everyone: In general, there's no right answer. [09:17] 42 [09:17] Hey, anyone here the knows anything about getting ubuntu and vista to talk over a network? I installed samba, and did what i am suppose to, but they still wont find each other? [09:18] adam7: but its a good idea for me to read that installation url first:) [09:18] restart the vista machine (make sure file sharing is enabled [09:18] Can anyone with libpng3 please send me /usr/lib/libpng.so.3? [09:18] pierre3400: are they in the same workgroup? [09:18] pirx: yep, if you can install it somehow, it's probably there === murat is now known as Guest7873 [09:18] I know someone here has libpng3. [09:18] I would really appreciate it. [09:18] Thanks. [09:18] good question, how do i know this? [09:18] <_zic> does anyone know whether firefox 3.5 will be available for ubuntu 8.04 through repositories ? [09:18] where can i find my vista workgroup name? [09:19] MindVirus: packages.ubuntu.org, you can download anything [09:19] MindVirus: ehm.. so any version will do? 47 bit, home compiled risc version? =) [09:19] right click on mycomputer>properties [09:19] Slart, no, I specifically said 32-bit. [09:19] folks, how can i check the chmod of a folder? [09:19] pierre3400 [09:19] And I would assume that a 32-bit system with libpng3 nowadays runs x86. [09:19] adam7, that's definitely invalid. [09:19] MindVirus: "10:18 < MindVirus> Can anyone with libpng3 please send me /usr/lib/libpng.so.3?" [09:19] MindVirus: what is? [09:19] Slart, previously I stated 32-bit. [09:20] thnx i think i found my problem there [09:20] anyone? [09:20] adam7, the site. [09:20] im trying to find out what chmod a certain forlder is [09:20] the default for ubuntu is "workgroup" I believe [09:20] MindVirus: nevermind.. just go to packages.ubuntu.com [09:20] MindVirus: sorry, it's http://packages.ubuntu.com/ [09:20] I mixed up the org/com [09:20] Ahh, OK. :D [09:20] Thanks.

[09:26] yes almost [09:26] i can find my vista pc on ubuntu but no ubuntu on vista [09:26] Slart, adam7: I don't know how to get files from the package without installing. [09:26] The packages contain the file I'm looking for but it's 0 bytes. [09:27] MindVirus: right click, and use the archive manager to open it [09:27] folks i chmoded a windows xp to 777 and now in xp i cannot access the folder [09:27] MindVirus: hmm.. hang on.. let me download it and check [09:27] adam7, I did. [09:27] can anyone recommend me what to do? [09:27] pierre3400: http://us6.samba.org/samba/ will have more information on how to configure Samba. [09:28] It could also be the vista machine, check your firewall etc. [09:28] also all your settings should allow filesharing etc. [09:28] ubuntu__, How do you chmod a whole os? [09:28] the firewall is off [09:29] vise, i didnt, just a certain folder [09:29] ubuntu__, File system? NTFS? [09:29] MindVirus: that package (libpng) depends on libpng12 something.. it's listed on the page for the package [09:29] yup [09:29] ubuntu__, What does Xp say? Access denied? [09:29] Slart, OK... [09:30] vise yea === ubuntu__ is now known as gavi [09:30] MindVirus: it might just be a symbolic link to some other file [09:30] ahh thats better [09:30] vise, any suggestions? [09:30] What the hell. [09:30] Slart, are you 32-bit? [09:30] ubuntu__: cant you just copy the contents of the folder to a new folder ? [09:31] gavi, Yeah.. copy to new folder.. [09:31] wapko, in windows or in ubuntu live? [09:31] MindVirus: not at the moment, no [09:31] gavi, ubuntu live [09:31] gavi: in ubuntu [09:31] make the folder with ubuntu [09:31] ok [09:31] ill try that [09:31] MindVirus: what are you trying to do? why not just install libpng3 using apt-get? [09:32] Slart, I have it installed using apt, but one of the games I play is 32-bit. [09:32] And it depends on libpng.so.3. [09:32] Does anyone here run a 32-bit system? [09:32] if i create a new folder on a windows ntfs partition than ubuntu will by default make the new folder compatible for windows? [09:33] gavi, Yes [09:33] MindVirus: but aren't there tools available to download 32-bit stuff on a 64-bit machine? I seem to remember something that did that automagically [09:33] gavi, correct [09:33] Slart, no clue. [09:33] gavi, Ubuntu doesnt do anything.. But the chmod mostly messes up with NTFS.. [09:33] vise, jilbert, good 2 know thanks [09:33] adam7 on Synaptic, File-> Generate Package Download Script... is that what I want, to get a list (sounds like a script to download that list) of packages I have installed? [09:33] MindVirus: but anyways.. if you look at your system "ls -l `locate libpng.so.3`" you'll see that libpng.so.3 is just a symbolic link to libpng12.so.0 [09:34] Hmm. OK. [09:34] I'll buy that. [09:34] does anybody know how to install crossover on 64 bit? [09:34] ok so now i've restarted both machines, wish me luck [09:35] good luck pierre3400 [09:36] how ubuntu wont find my laptop :/ [09:36] hi there, can i be told how to see the cpu utilization if i have got several cpus? [09:36] jilbert: contact the devs, they will support you as you have paid for support as well as te product [09:36] OttifantSir: thanks ... winff is indeed amazing [09:36] i will. thanks. ^^ [09:36] now ubuntu wont find my laptop :/ [09:39] kennyyu: System > Administration > System Monitor > Resources tab in GNOME, the "htop" package and command from the command-line (probably alternatives, but that's what I use). [09:39] how do i set dyndns on my server? [09:39] n0gearII: just change your dns servers to point to dyndsn servers [09:39] hello [09:40] i downloaded wp8 and cant get the package to install [09:40] n0gearII: check the dyndns site.. I think they have tutorials there for all kinds of systems... there are some updaters available in the repos [09:40] censushq: wp8 ? [09:40] ikonia: at /etc/network/interfaces ??? [09:41] wordperfect 8 [09:41] n0gearII: use the gui if you are not sure [09:41] for linux [09:41] This is annoying! Why wont it find my vista laptop now?! [09:41] "find" [09:41] ? [09:41] pierre3400: what's the issue ? [09:41] Slart: yes i found the update client. hope it works on cli as well [09:41] well [09:41] n0gearII: it does.. I run it [09:41] pierre3400: did you find youre vista laptop? [09:41] What does ppa# stand for?

If you have WordPerfect documents you need to open. OpenOffice should be able to do it. [09:42] kennyyu: and? [09:42] so you mean htop the command right? [09:42] is there an openoffice import filter for wpd [09:42] Slart: no worries. seems theres pretty decent howtos on dyndns site. [09:42] im trying to get my laptop and stationary talking over the network. Laptop running vista and stationary running ubuntu, before i restarted unbuntu had found my laptop on the network, but the laptop found nothing [09:43] r u in the same network domain [09:43] both are on WORKGROUP [09:43] rww: thanks a lot! [09:43] censushq: looks like it, though i don't have any wordperfect documents to test with [09:43] pierre3400: "found"? what are you talking about? [09:43] ok thanks, will try oo [09:44] found mening showing up, being able to see it, click it access it [09:44] show up where? [09:44] sometimes vista uses lowercase "workgroup" [09:44] you can even ping each other? [09:44] my Xandros EEEPC requires the domain in lowercase [09:44] i checked it running "WORKGROUP" :) [09:44] my ubuntu wants uppercase [09:45] wtf?! everytime i restart ubuntu more and more goes missing or settings dont stay saved :S [09:45] are there other channels on this hostname [09:46] type /list [09:46] pierre3400: please control your language. We know what "wtf" means and don't need to see it [09:46] sorry [09:46] censushq: see the freenode website [09:46] i have been using irc over 15 years [09:46] windows tends to find things? [09:46] i did my masters thesis about irc [09:46] hello. i have a problem with my monitor/resolution. the resolution is right but all pixels seems "out of phase", when zoomed in it's not very noticable, but small text is unreadable. if i move windows around, the text "jumps"/"leaks" color on the sides. 1px red or 1px blue, anybody what the cause of this could be? invalid sync values? wrong dpi? [09:46] censushq: then stop asking basic questions [09:47] Slart: well that was easy. apt-get and it asked all the questions and now its running ... well i hope it is [09:47] hello everyonw [09:47] i need your help... please [09:47] i dont have any help left sorry [09:47] hello all [09:47] n0gearII: well.. it's hard to know.. until it breaks =) [09:47] discorpia: is your monitor a flatscreen or a CRT?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [09:49] discorpia: hmm.. perhaps there is a setting for in which order the rgb-cells are.. and you're using the subpixel rendering.. that's about the only thing I think of [09:49] Slart: an it does work! excellent [09:49] achadwick: yeah, it affects all graphics, not just text. but it's the exact same feature as you get with faulty cleartype settings [09:49] hi e'one...good day...

[12:01] bazhang: watch ur answers [12:01] temporarytao, install openbox [12:01] night everyone.. [12:01] nomachinr doesnt work with xfce? [12:01] dbugger: for scaling it you might want to play with the -vf scale option [12:01] prathamesh, how does he access his homefolder? [12:01] bazhang, what's a good file manager to go with openbox? [12:02] noted down! thanks ;) [12:02] i'll do tuning later :) [12:02] temporarytao, that is the one used with crunchbang [12:02] prathamesh, how does he access his homefolder? [12:02] temporarytao, better still would be lxde or the like [12:03] how do I allow a user to startx? [12:03] pinoyskull: he just click on places & then click on home [12:03] (to avoid using root) [12:03] !sudo [12:03] sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [12:03] shift_, you want to login using user pass (sudo) [12:04] shift_: normal users should already have access to startx [12:04] th0r, X: user not authorized to run the X server, aborting. [12:04] i got the openbox part. that's the window manager, right? [12:04] what about the file manager? for one thing, i'd like something with a trash box at least. :) [12:04] shift_: then something has gone amiss, I am running jaunty and the default for startx is 755 [12:04] bazhang: lxde is the file manager? or is that the window manager? [12:04] pinoyskull: hey what to do [12:05] temporarytao, not up on openbox tbh, know more about lxde (metapackage that pulls in other stuff as well) [12:05] th0r, I think the user needs to be in some group or something [12:05] pinoyskull: is there any solution on it [12:05] shift_: nope....those permissions give execute to the world [12:05] hmmm...googling lxde === Uncle|Sam is now known as uncle|sam [12:05] temporarytao, its in the repos === uncle|sam is now known as Uncle|Sam [12:05] th0r, I can execute the file fine... it's just that it refuses to run X, giving the error message I pasted below.

[12:06] bazhang: so if i use that, i can just choose it from the login screen? [12:06] temporarytao, correct [12:06] shift_: odd. I haven't done it in years, but it should be ok to set up the system to boot to the login prompt and not run X unless requested by the user. I used to run my servers that way [12:07] th0r, yeah, that's the idea here... people seem to be suggesting sudo, but I would much rather avoid it. [12:08] I came back with fresh errors! :D [12:08] shift_: I would want to avoid that also. Check further into the issue as you should be able to do what you want [12:08] Hi, is xmms player available form Gnome, Ubuntu Intrepid? I can't find a package.. There is something called xmm2 client or something.. But it doesnt seem to be the player... Any ideas? [12:08] "udevadm trigger is not permitted while udev is unconfigured."

[12:14] ziroday: thank you! [12:14] hi how to resize partition? [12:15] psypointer: have fun [12:15] ^Alita, Very much... Normal usage of RAM on my pc is 500 MB... 1GB is required.. unless you use the text mode.. :) [12:15] gidna, cp source/* dest/, or better yet rsync source/ dest/ -av .... that should work [12:15] micheal__: gparted or some such thing [12:15] !gparted [12:15] gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php [12:15] <^Alita> i'm using xfce on xubuntu and only firefox and xchat [12:16] i unmount the drive and then how do i resize it? [12:16] ^Alita, Try not using firefox for some time and see if it helps.. If it does, we will have to tweak firefox.. [12:16] ^Alita: you could run swiftfox or kazenchaze for a lighter gecko based browser [12:16] micheal__: That might be an fdisk thing [12:17] micheal__: What file system is the drive using? [12:17] gidna, I may be wrong but I think if you use the directory itself, then it will copy the directory, but if you add / at the end of it, it will copy what's in the directory.. not sure though [12:17] michael__: you need gparted to resize a partition [12:17] ok thank you [12:17] i did it [12:17] I should put /* [12:17] ^Alita: with only 128MB it is almost certainly swap [12:18] <^Alita> uhm, i will one of this. anyway, there is a way to know who is using the hd, like top for cpu and memory? [12:18] I have an ubuntu studio machine where the system load average is up over 15 right now, and is crashing every time I try to do anything with it, even though no processes are taking up a large percentage of CPU or memory. But even terminal commands don't get run with a system load this high. What can I do to resolve this?

[13:02] Dhaval, you can resize the existing partitions [13:02] is true [13:02] I have 30 GB free space [13:02] richardcavell_, deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/fta/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main it's here [13:02] DhavaL, you can fit Ubuntu in there [13:02] I tell it to install on the largest continuous partiton [13:02] ziroday: so it will never be the final with jaunty? [13:02] So anyway I'm SOL on the 7.10 archives? They don't exist any more so that's why I'm getting the 404s? [13:02] Kartagis: that is unsupported [13:02] it is? [13:02] Kartagis: yes [13:02] But in the pre instal screen it tells me that it is going to clear the partition tbale [13:02] could somebody point me in the right direct for setting up an openvpn on my ubuntu box to tunnel http/im traffic through for a windows box? [13:02] draciron: likely yes [13:03] So will I use all my other NTFS partitions? [13:03] Does it? how? [13:03] ikonia: How does pidgin do video? [13:03] Ahhh, I forgot to mention video.

[13:04] ikonia: Is there a video chat one? [13:04] is 7.10 supported? [13:04] Will all my other partitions go *poof*? [13:04] kopete does video i believe [13:04] i was wondering uno how do i get yahoo games or pogo games to play on my comp [13:04] It does? [13:04] DhavaL, I don't see why you can't resize. [13:04] Why would I want to resize [13:04] I have 30 gb free space [13:04] yes im sure,, which which clients im not [13:04] I specify it to install on that free space [13:04] DhavaL_: if you delete them - yes [13:04] Kapote doesn't do Yahoo vid, not unless I need to install something. [13:04] why should it create a new partition table [13:04] Dhaval, Okay, you want to put Ubuntu in there [13:04] but kopete recognized my webcam fine on my dell laptop [13:04] I do [13:04] should work fine, DhavaL [13:05] aim: not sure if amsn supports video [13:05] draciron: i think u need to install something [13:05] But it says that its going to create a new partition table. [13:05] 'does kopete work on MSN network? [13:05] yes [13:05] aim: yep [13:05] Are you using the Live CD installer? You should be able to do it graphically [13:05] Yes I am using the LiveCD installer [13:05] but i don't want a new partition table [13:05] You can manually look at the start and end blocks of each partition before and after. They shouldn't change [13:05] OK I'll try kopete, thanks guys [13:05] np [13:06] DhavaL_, Have you selected guided partitioning or something? [13:06] Well, it's going to edit the existing partition table [13:06] hello do you no how to install yahoo games on ubuntu or were to get games? [13:06] Maybe yes. [13:06] i just selected 'use largest continous free space' [13:06] edit, not delete? [13:06] DhavaL_, Then it will change the partition table for creating swap IMHO.. [13:06] So I wil have all my other partitions,? [13:07] yes [13:07] Hello there. Can anybody tell me how to look up an ip-adress in a windows-network? I got the computername of the client I want to look ab the ip-adress. [13:07] DhavaL, you ought to be able to see where Ubuntu is going to go in. Can't you look at it manually? [13:07] DhavaL_, yes [13:07] hi [13:07] nslookup [13:07] You sure salil? [13:07] alright [13:07] Foerdy: --> nslookup [13:07] Foerdy, man nmblookup [13:07] and what happens if I don't install the Boot Loader. [13:07] man on windows? [13:07] thx! [13:07] DhavaL, you want the boot loader somewhere [13:07] DhavaL_, you dont boot into ubuntu... [13:07] wanted to ask if I press ctrl+alt+backspace , how do I go back to login screen or gui ? [13:07] I think it should show me 2 OS's when i press F8 and then i can choose right [13:07] ? [13:08] ubuntunewbie: it should reload automatically [13:08] DhavaL_, No.. The bootloader will change.. [13:08] do you have GRUB somewhere else on your system? [13:08] damn... [13:08] DhavaL_, But it will detect windows installations [13:08] I know [13:08] BladeNBrocade, he wants to see the ip for a windows host, because he asking here I assume he is using Ubuntu [13:08] But not installing grub will save me the trouble of trying to uninstall it later. [13:08] lstarnes: ? I am using 8.04 [13:09] okies [13:09] yes i am using ubuntu [13:09] host [13:09] ubuntunewbie: have you tried using ctrl+alt+backspace before? [13:09] dig nm/nslookup etc would do the job [13:09] ubuntunewbie: when that is used, it usually closes out the currently running X server, but gdm or another display manager usually restarts it [13:10] Hello? [13:10] ubuntunewbie: that display manager also manages the login screen [13:10] it works! thank you for your help :) [13:10] Yes, so Salil, should I go ahead and instal ubuntu on the free space?

[13:53] But how is it different from installing in some partition? [13:53] it isn't right? [13:53] tuutt [13:53] what can i do when there is no /dev/eth0 /dev/eth1 ? [13:53] DhavaL_, grub will handle that [13:53] <[[webrat]]> hi... i am using a "M2N68-AM SE2" and having some issues installing the graphics controller [13:53] I am having trouble getting my wireless working.

Thanks ;) [13:53] <[[webrat]]> is there any possible way i can optimize my screen resolution? [13:53] I see... [13:53] So it is like installing on a partiton [13:53] !wubi [13:53] Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting.

[13:54] i want to use ekiga for video chatting. when i open ekiga it showing me error that ekiga failed to configure ur network automatically. so u hav to configure it automatically. & it given me error & a website link http://wiki.ekiga.org/index.php/Enable_port_forwarding_manually which is wiki page. so i went through the instruction & tried to change my router settings as per the instruction in services & chekout nat in that nat option i selected nat optio [13:54] ok.

[13:54] I've done it before [13:54] DhavaL_, WUBI will keep the whole ubuntu install in a folder in your windows drive.. [13:54] <[[webrat]]> do i still have a chance on my ne3w machine? [13:54] I see... [13:55] well that's nice [13:55] exia_: AMD, intel ... amount of ram etc [13:55] and it'll also install grub?

[13:55] can anyone think of a way of resizing the root partition while it's mounted? the machine has only just been installed, so can afford to screw it up (it's a VM and has almost instant restore) [13:56] DhavaL_, No.. No grub.. It uses ntldr / bootmgr for Xp/vista to install the ubuntu entry.. No change to anything.. [13:56] you can only do with xfs file system.When your system working [13:56] for resize [13:56] :) Yay. Ok then. Here we go... [13:56] JediMaster [13:56] exia_: If it's 1080p you trying to play it might be slow. I suggest you use SMplayer and activate multi threaded decoding and allow frame drop (x.264 only) [13:56] lol [13:57] help, anyone use skype [13:57] kerimbasol: what about in recovery mode from grub? [13:57] esb: does 9.04 mplayer come with multi-threaded support by default? [13:57] esb, but i played such videos earlier in windows using the kmplayer %) [13:57] What will you do with grub ? [13:57] esb, if i use smplayer it doesnt allow me to jump over the MKV [13:57] esb, but it works perfect in it, but VLC lags [13:58] kerimbasol: I mean the recovery option that ubuntu adds to grub, doesn't that put you in single user mode? [13:58] exia_: It should be just the same as mplayer. [13:58] bamball: I don't know.. I only use SMplayer. It' probably the same though [13:58] JediMaster: I know recovery mode of grub.I can fix my boot solutions with a live or rescue cd [13:59] JediMaster: and then rewrite grub with my own configuration [13:59] is there a good tutorial/faq somewhere on automounting an smb share from a network machine? [13:59] kerimbasol: I can't boot from an image/cd, it's a VPS/virtual machine with no ability to upload/specify an image to boot from [13:59] esb: I had to download the source to build a version which has multi-threaded support in 8.10.. dun want to do this again after upgrade... [13:59] ethanol: I can send an example about automount [14:00] that would be swell too. pastebin perhaps? [14:00] esb, well okay frame drop is allowed in smplayer but [14:00] bamball: Use SMplayer and you'll have it included [14:00] JediMaster: instert iso image and boot with it [14:00] esb, but i still cant find that multi threaded encoding [14:01] kerimbasol: read what I just wrote, I can't boot from anything other than the installed OS (ubuntu 9.04) [14:01] /192.168.1.15/backup /network/linksys/backup cifs username=administrator,password=secret 0 0 [14:01] under settings and preformance [14:01] ethanol: this is fstab [14:01] ethanol: ok ? [14:01] cifs is for samba? [14:01] esb: I dun think so.. SMplayer is just a front-end to call the mplayer binary.. i tried b4 on 8.10, didn't really use more than 100% cpu until i point my mplayer binary to the custom build one (i use smplayer too) [14:02] hi guys! [14:02] //192.168.1.15/backup /network/linksys/backup cifs username=administrator,password=secret 0 0 [14:02] ethanol : this correct [14:02] exia_: ... set Threads for decoding (MPEG-1/2 and H.264).. set it to more than 1... I use the same as the amount of processor-cores [14:02] ethanol: yes cifs for samba you can use smbfs instead of it [14:02] Let's see if you can help me with this. Im quite rusty on me shell skills... If I have 3 commands, say cmd1, cmd2 and cmd3, and I want to run cmd2 after cmd1, but I dont want to wait for them to finnish to do cmd3, how would I write that??? === dale is now known as nibsa1242b [14:03] JediMaster: which vm do you use ? [14:03] I need to mkdir /net or /network first I presume? [14:03] I inadvertently copied the /usr folder from a ARM device over the /usr folder of my ubuntu machine while trying to move it to somewhere else (I know, this is very bad and stupid). So afterward I took the /usr data from another VMWare machine who had the same image as mine and copied it over... but I'm getting some strange behavior... and now i'm stuck in initramfs. Is my installation good for the thrash? [14:03] esb, okay thanks. well i didnt found that [14:03] esb, in smplayer in performance [14:04] ethanol: /network better in redhat i encoured with a problem [14:04] esb, theres only allow frame drop and its switched on [14:04] hi... i have one problem... [14:04] http://www.shrani.si/f/3g/13x/UK7glE6/06072009.jpg [14:04] exia_: no Threads for decoding ? [14:04] dbugger: Are you using the Tab things? === uJin is now known as [uJin] [14:04] and when i push CTRL+D system work normaly... but then i don't see /boot partition [14:04] what tab thing? [14:04] exia_: You using the 0.6.7 version ? [14:04] esb, ah yeah i see, min [14:04] Need GRUB help, I'm building a computer for a friend... They have decided to allow me to put Ubuntu on it. They want windows to be the default booting OS. I see in the menu.lst file I can set a # for a default option, but that seems like with every kernel update the # for Windows ( the last entry ) will change. Can I make windows ( or any other OS ) the first option without screwing anything up? [14:05] esb, well i set it 2 [14:05] dbugger: In Terminal one can use multiple tabs. [14:05] esb, but i still cant jump over the video :-) [14:05] esb, its my main problem... not performance [14:05] dbugger, cmd1; cmd2; (cmd3 &) [14:05] vigo, it's for scriting actually.. [14:05] exia_: What output driver do you use ? [14:05] ty vise! [14:05] <[[webrat]]> is there any possible way i can optimize my screen resolution? [14:05] esb, XV [14:05] dbugger, Not sure! try first... [14:06] I will! [14:06] nibsa1242b: you can make your default selection from default [14:06] exia_: Sorry... can't be of anymore help = / Good luck anyways [14:06] nibsa1242b: from menu.lst [14:06] esb, thanks you too man :) i'll try to solve this problem [14:06] vise, not really good... I keep getting them in order [14:07] <[[webrat]]> hi... i am using a "M2N68-AM SE2" and having some issues installing the graphics controller [14:07] let me test that,,,, [14:07] dbugger, Put cmd3 & as the first one instead.. That should dispatch cmd3 in background.. [14:07] esb, yeah! [14:07] kerimbasol: problem is... if I make #6 default now, and then a kernel update comes out, the desired default OS would move to #9 but it would still default to whatever #7 is [14:07] esb, i solved it :D seems that that MKV was broken, i just switched on one option ... [14:07] vise, the thing is im scripting for PHP and I have to call some "exec" function" but I want to keep displaying my page while the server processes :S [14:08] I'm using the Karmic alpha and gdm stopped working. It only shows a "busy" mouse cursor on a black screen. I can move the corsor but nothing else happens. [14:08] esb, Rebuild index if needed [14:08] exia_: Congrats =) [14:08] esb, it's called ... yeah im so glad [14:08] nibsa1242b: i understood.Which version ubuntu do you use [14:08] dbugger, So did you try (cmd3 &); cmd1; cmd2 ? [14:08] kerimbasol: 9.04 [14:09] the thing is that there's not really a 3rd command, I just want to send the output of "cmd1; cmd2; to other flow that's not the screen [14:09] Medo42: use ubuntu+1 channel [14:10] to put it simple, how would you execute a script.sh so that you can keep using the terminal while it's being executed? [14:10] dbugger, drag it into an already open terminal [14:10] nibsa1242b: I forget its command but a command recreate the menu.lst.I am trying to remmember [14:10] at kernel update [14:10] MK13, im scripting for PHP. Cant do that [14:11] wb vise [14:11] dbugger, i don't think it would let you use it while executing my way anyway [14:11] to put it simple, how would you execute a script.sh so that you can keep using the terminal while it's being executed? [14:11] dbugger, ./script.sh & [14:11] Im gonna try that... [14:12] nibsa1242b: i remembered the name of command update-grub this is your beginning [14:12] how do you redirect stderr to /dev/null ? [14:12] like command &(1,2,3,what?)>/dev/null [14:12] easwar: you will use like this echo 2>&1 [14:12] easwar: you will use like this echo Hello 2>&1 [14:12] dbugger, You can't use that with sudo though... [14:13] easwar: this is redirect stdout [14:13] I dont need sudo :) [14:13] kerimbasol, ok,and stderr? [14:13] easwar: this is stderr to stdout if you want to redirect stdout to stderr echo Hello 1>&2 [14:14] How do I exit the shell which has the child process as this xchat without exiting xchat.. Can you reparent or something? [14:14] easwar: if file redirection echo 2>&/tmp/error.txt [14:15] easwar: ok ? [14:15] vise, launch xchat with: xchat & disown [14:15] I want to install torrentflux-b4rt, but have no idea how to set up database in mysql [14:15] Titan8990, So i can't do anything now.. :( [14:15] kerimbasol, yeah.but now I want to run this command in background,so command & 2>/dev/null , correct? [14:15] vise, if you atleast sent it to background you can still disown it [14:16] easwar: It isnt corrent command sythax [14:16] vise, but no, not if its in foreground of the terminal [14:16] Titan8990, Yes.. it is in background already [14:16] kerimbasol, then? [14:16] Titan8990, How do i do it? [14:16] easwar: command 2>&/dev/null this is correct one [14:16] moncky: installed rosegarden but still no sound .. the mid runs but no sound [14:17] kerimbasol, then bash gives me ambiguous redirect [14:17] easwar: i saw background question now [14:17] moncky: JackDriver::initialiseAudio - JACK server not running [14:17] what does JackDriver::initialiseAudio - JACK server not running means ? [14:17] easwar: try command 2>/dev/null & [14:17] Titan8990, How do I disown xchat which i started as background? [14:17] which log contains fstab errors? some entries are not being mounted and I don't know why :( [14:17] vise: just type disown [14:18] lstarnes, Should I exit the shell now then? [14:18] lstarnes, thanks that worked [14:18] easwar: wait a minute [14:18] :D [14:18] vise: see if it works [14:18] kerimbasol, ok [14:18] lstarnes, Okay.. If it doesnt.. Il reconnect and kill you... lol [14:18] easwar: I usually use command >/dev/null 2>&1 & [14:19] easwar: that will redirect both stdout and stderr [14:19] lstarnes, hmm,right now I was trying to find a way stop conky telling me it's drawing to double buffer and all [14:20] yay! lstarnes.. It worked.. You are safe.. [14:20] hi all [14:20] what does JackDriver::initialiseAudio - JACK server not running means ? [14:20] kerimbasol, ?? [14:20] ubuntunewbie: it means exactly that [14:20] joining [14:20] actionparsnip1 you still here? [14:20] ubuntunewbie: you are not running the jack server [14:20] hello [14:20] easwar: command 2>/dev/null try this [14:20] lstarnes: what is a jackserver? [14:20] easwar: command 2>/dev/null & try this [14:21] kerimbasol, that's exactly what lstarnes said,and it worked [14:21] guess not [14:21] ubuntunewbie: it's commonly known as jackd. It's one of several audio servers [14:21] easwar: no, it's not. kerimbasol's command does not redirect stdout [14:21] lstarnes, your first command [14:22] I am doing a complete update (hardware, os, etc) old was 8.10 32b and new is 9.04 64b, I have a list of all the packages my 32b had installed, if I just go and install them all that shouldn't break anything should it? [14:22] thanx :) [14:22] lstarnes, when you first joined this conversation [14:22] which log contains fstab errors? some entries are not being mounted and I don't know why :( [14:22] lstarnes: i really have no idea , I still can't play midi files [14:22] ubuntunewbie: what are you using to play them? [14:23] JoeM, you will have to get the 64 bit packages,you won't be able to use any packages you might have backed-up(well,you could,but it's not recommended) [14:23] my printer supports stapling where can i find the option if ubuntu supports it ? [14:24] easwar I mean I just have a list (the one the bot says to make for cloning), I woudl assume it would automatically choose the 64b version of them... unless the name is different too [14:24] JoeM, Are you talking of a list generated by Synaptic? [14:24] lstarnes: tried using amarok , rythmbox , audiacous all not working [14:24] when I try to install ubuntu on my old laptop (Acer Aspire 1310) it freezes on install, also on alternate install, what can I try to do to fix it? [14:24] easwar aptitude, but basically yes [14:24] easwar just a list of package names [14:25] evonise`emp, RAM? [14:25] !clone [14:25] To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [14:25] easwar i did a mem test [14:25] ubuntunewbie: I usually use rosegarden with timidity for midi files [14:25] easwar I did that (first half) [14:25] JoeM, hmm,I never migrated from 32 to 64,when I did,it was because my HDD crashed [14:25] How can I redirect the output of a script to another output so that it wont bother me?? [14:26] JoeM, I shouldn't think it should break anything [14:26] easwar guess I'll find out the hard way! It's a clean install so no harm if it screws things up [14:26] dbugger: do you want to redirect somewhere where you can retrieve it later, or do you want to discard the output? [14:26] evonise`emp, I meant amount of RAM [14:26] dbugger: do you want to pipe mechanism [14:26] easwar i have 512 mb ;o [14:26] lstarnes: I jsut downloaded rosegarden but it show JackDriver::initialiseAudio - JACK server not running [14:26] alright when is ubuntu releasing FF 3.5? [14:26] evonise`emp, have you ever tried ubuntu on this machine earlier? [14:26] !ff35 | jcapinc [14:26] jcapinc: Firefox 3.5 Final is currently being built and tested for Jaunty. If you *need* to install it, the firefox-3.5 *beta* package from the repositories will be updated when testing is complete. See also http://is.gd/1jkNY [14:26] lstarnes: timidity ? [14:27] easwar no i havent... [14:27] Im executing a "exec" call in PHP but I want the web to keep rendering, and the PHP web says this: "If a program is started with this function, in order for it to continue running in the background, the output of the program must be redirected to a file or another output stream. Failing to do so will cause PHP to hang until the execution of the program ends." [14:27] easwar loving this new SSD, install so speedy [14:27] JoeM, :) [14:27] ubuntunewbie: it's a cli-based midi player and server [14:27] evonise`emp, hmm [14:27] * easwar thinks [14:27] :D [14:28] dbugger: may be you can use popen and it is a kind of stream like file stream [14:28] what's "popen"? [14:28] dbugger: You can send its output to users web browser... === Amy is now known as iga [14:28] dbugger, pipe open [14:28] IIRC [14:28] lol :D [14:29] dbugger: it is a kind of async process output communication [14:29] so simply $popen("./script.sh") [14:29] #familycasserole [14:29] ? [14:29] dbugger: yes ;) [14:29] let's try.. [14:29] lstarnes: should I install timidity ? [14:29] ubuntunewbie: yes [14:29] lstarnes: ok [14:29] evonise`emp, sorry,no idea,maybe try adding boot parameters like acpi=off and noapic [14:29] <^cheeky> hi,err i kind put some of my music albums and other files in the trash and i cant seem to restore it, when i click and move it even to the desktop it says, no file or directory exists, maybe coz it was deleted ... how can i restore my files [14:30] ok... that's not good [14:30] ubuntunewbie: I've heard that fluidsynth is supposedly better === bekir is now known as WAVIN [14:30] lstarnes: will let you know after I install , take some time since my connenction speed wasn't that good [14:30] easwar ok, im not that into linux, so ill google :) [14:30] ^cheeky: You can restore with testdisk photorec [14:30] evonise`emp, lol [14:30] ubuntunewbie: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Midi/SoftwareSynthesisHowTo might be useful [14:30] bah... === genii_ is now known as genii [14:31] ^cheeky: Or wait a minute i will better recovery software advice [14:31] I think I was dumb and forgot to set the boot flag on the OS drive [14:31] Hi everyone!

[15:35] yes i forgot, thats 3rd party [15:35] bazhang: but iam suggesting he search for an ubuntu version there [15:35] hmm oops there is no such thing [15:36] indus, at medibuntu [15:36] misteralexander: where did you get ndiswrapper debs from [15:36] ubuntunewbie: have you asked the muse communtiy [15:36] indus, he already said from the debian repository [15:37] oh sorry missed it [15:37] moncky: community ? [15:37] Is there a way to get gnome to automatically switch to a workspace when a window in it demands focus? [15:38] henkboom, no, that would be pretty annoying [15:38] karamella: did u install, now try open it with open office and on start up it will give you options for character etc, try select arabic-windows or arabic iso [15:38] i just installed ubuntu and its already running out of space, but i have partitions with free space that i want to add, but how do i do this ? [15:38] moncky: how do I check whether I had jackaudio installed. Why does it fail even on rosegarden [15:38] karamella: i still cant get it to use arabic in text editor [15:39] I'M TRYING SIR [15:39] cabrey: umm, you have to assume that applications only demand focus when they should be focused, otherwise what's the point of that functionality? [15:39] ok i gtg [15:39] bye all [15:39] see u in some time from home [15:40] in this case I click on a pidgin notification: it does nothing, since the window is on another workspace [15:40] In jaunty with proposed-updates, when I install firefox-3.5 I get weird branding like a different logo and it is called shiretoko. Can I somehow get the normal name and branding for jaunty? [15:40] maybe I'll have to switch back to xfce, where app focus works properly =/ [15:41] henkboom, are you talking about the black translucent bubbles? [15:41] homy: shiretoko is the code name of the 3.5 release, and no you can't get the normal firefox branding. [15:41] cabrey: no, [15:41] henkboom, what do you mean by pidgin notification then? [15:41] homy: firefox-3.5-branding [15:41] genii: that still names it shiretoko AFAICT [15:41] if pidgin gets a new message, the system tray icon turns into a notification symbol, and when I click it it's supposed to raise the message [15:41] genii: this gives this ugly logo and shiretoko name.

[15:42] after a successful installation on my acer desktop, the installation to my toshiba satellite a305-s6909 is acting funny, I finally heard the sound for the login page but am at a white screen with crawling black lines. Last thing I saw was after installing in Windows Vista, removing the disc, at the Ubuntu loading image. And I am trying to install ver 8.04, any hints on how to fix the display? === chaky_ is now known as chaky [15:42] homy: The "minefield" releases will always have the globe logo, etc [15:42] i just installed ubuntu and its already running out of space, but i have partitions with free space that i want to add, but how do i do this ? [15:42] henkboom, well usuallly the notification is a black bubble... what version of ubuntu? [15:42] genii: what do you mean with "minefield"? [15:42] cabrey: I get the black bubble as well of course [15:42] homy: its because you have two versions of firefox installed [15:42] I'm not talking about the libnotify notifications [15:43] homy: Development versions [15:43] anyone installed CLAM(C++ Library for Audio and Music) successfully? [15:43] ziroday: if i uninstall the package firefox-3.0, will I get normal branding? [15:43] homy: no [15:43] I'm talking about the pidgin system tray notification [15:43] genii: but it is the final version: dpkg-query -W firefox-3.5 [15:43] firefox-3.5 3.5+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.9.04.1 [15:43] hi [15:44] the focus problem also happens when I click a link in another app, firefox should raise, and it does when I'm in the same workspace [15:44] but if I'm in a different workspace nothing happens [15:44] henkboom, well it's possible there is a gconf setting...

For instance, the target computer needs "dpkg", which has nearly 30 dependencies itself. Either I download just dpkg, or I (to "save" time) download them all, and THEN each of THOSE things has 20 dependencies, that's the irritating part.

[16:38] but i have another partition now formatted in ext3 with 20 gb space [16:38] need_help: you might try subnet 255.255.255.1 [16:38] if any one could help, i have wiped the ubuntu partition on my pc, getting the grub error17, i have d/l the net book remix and it wont brun to a disk im using mac it keeps giving me an error tryed super grub boot disc, also tryed various windows cds and different drives to make sure, i am really stuck here any syggestions? [16:39] fccf huh! there is no such like this subnet [16:39] Martin31: ah ha just now you mean, right I ended up doing something else [16:39] bk|work: if you have a normal internet connection I would say downloading the dvd isn't that useful.. you can get the same packages (or newer [16:39] bk|work: if you have a normal internet connection I would say downloading the dvd isn't that useful.. you can get the same packages (or newer) from the online repositories [16:39] sebsebseb: hah but can you help me ? :S [16:39] Slart: ok, ill try them both out and see if there is a difference, thanks [16:40] Martin31: probably [16:40] Hello [16:40] when i go to computer and right click Filesystem and go to Properties it shows free space 6.8 MB [16:40] Martin31: you made a seperate home? [16:40] yes [16:40] whatvn, What does "grep" mean? [16:41] Martin31: ok upload a screenshot of gparted and give me the link [16:41] Where could I get an ext3 driver for Windows? [16:41] ok [16:41] roobly_roo: why do you want it? [16:41] Brekitz, this process named ubuntustudio-controls [16:41] I am having huge trouble running jaunty on an acer revo (with nvidia ION chipset). WLAN does not work and I am not able to use nvidia's proprietary drivers. [16:41] hrmm, i'm trying to compile the intel video driver, but autoconf fails with a libdrm >= 2.4.11 dependency ("No package 'libdrm' found"). Anything i can do about that? [16:41] sebsebseb: So I can mount and read ext3 file systems... [16:41] Brekitz, man grep [16:41] roobly_roo: well yeah, but why do you want to from Windows? [16:42] hmm.. makes sense [16:42] anyone know if quotas work on ext4 in jaunty? i found this and my version matches the non working version: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/quota/+bug/334474 [16:42] so how do you enable WMA playback in Rhythmbox? [16:42] it would seem like something from may should have been fixed if it's a simple version bump but i can't get them to work [16:42] roobly_roo: also I would suggest not using that driver to read your / or /home if you have a seperate home, only to use it for an actsaul data only partiton, which you would share between the two OS's [16:42] sebsebseb: This isn't a question of why I want to, but where I can find such a driver. [16:42] roland: are gstreamer codecs installed? [16:42] sebsebseb: http://i39.tinypic.com/2s6mz9u.png [16:43] How can I see which people are connected to my SSH server? [16:43] roobly_roo: well I just gave you a good tip, also some people woudn't even recommend that driver in the first place [16:43] !ext3 | roobly_roo [16:43] roobly_roo: ext3 is the default filesystem on Ubuntu, and the most popular on Linux. You can read/write from Windows to ext3 via http://www.fs-driver.org [16:43] should I use 32 or 64 bit version for Intel Core 2 Extreme CPU X9650 ? [16:43] tvburger: how much RAM? [16:43] dmsuperman: the command: who [16:43] tvburger: and you sure the computer does 64bit? [16:43] tvburger: how much memory [16:44] sebsebseb: http://i39.tinypic.com/2s6mz9u.png [16:44] Currently 4GB. [16:44] Martin31: yeah I got it the first time [16:44] tvburger: 64bit then [16:44] ah. ok. [16:44] Martin31: I was on the verge of going on, when you gave a second time [16:44] oh sorry [16:44] np [16:44] thought you had missed it xD === hhh is now known as harshu === harshu is now known as hhhhhhhhh [16:45] ikt: there are lots of gstreamer* stuff installed [16:45] Martin31: your partitions are pretty wrong really === hhhhhhhhh is now known as jai_VEERU [16:46] whats a good dock to use..

I've never had a problem playing wma files tbh [16:47] at last resort I'd just plain convert them to mp3 [16:48] Testing my companies software's abillity to mount different file systems from backups of virtual machines. My main concern was with UFS, but I also want ext3 and reiserfs. [16:48] Martin31: new to Ubuntu?

[16:49] donks: on a PC it's simple, you just install Windows for example, and it goes over Grub [16:49] sebsebseb: the linux was on a pc [16:49] sebsebseb: very. been using winxp for like 6 years [16:49] donks: you got rid of Ubuntu? [16:49] donks: why? [16:49] sebsebseb: my pc wont boot from the win disc, i have changed the boot order and tryed 2 drives [16:49] still not completely understanding all the ext3 home and root stuff === sattam_ is now known as Guest413 [16:49] hello all [16:50] Martin31: ok you know NTFS or Fat32 in Windows?

[16:51] donks: no CD's will boot up at all? [16:51] sebsebseb: thats right [16:52] donks: ok sounds like a hardware error tell them that in ##hardware [16:52] Ahadiel: yes, w64codecs are installed [16:52] Roland, Hrm... [16:52] Martin31: yep those are the file systems [16:52] how would i go about mapping my laptop drives to my pc? [16:52] Roland, Have you tried any other players the aforementioned wma files? [16:53] Roland, with the** [16:53] Martin31: Ext3 is the current default for most Linux distributions, however Ext4 is already the default in Fedora 11 :) and will be in the next version of Ubuntu [16:53] Martin31: the default in next Ubuntu, but for full support people need to clean install [16:53] sebsebseb: so ill need to reformat when the next ubuntu comes out to get ext4 [16:54] Martin31: for full suppourt yes [16:54] im trying to install the artwiz fonts in ubuntu, and everything is fine, until the last part, where i type "sudo dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig-config" - then nothing happens. shouldnt i be prompted some questions? [16:54] sebsebseb: is there anything else i could try? [16:54] sebsebseb, what do you mean by "full support" ? [16:54] anyone know why wbinfo -u cant find users until i restart wbinfo service? [16:54] sigvelien: nope [16:54] kklimonda: the Ext3 to Ext4 isn't quite the real thing [16:54] sebsebseb, why? [16:55] hmm? according to this: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-install-artwiz-fonts-in-ubuntu.html - i should [16:55] sebsebseb: well the only problem i really have now is not enough disk space. i tried to do the separate home but i still have only like 6 mb free === Paddy_NI_ is now known as Paddy_NI [16:55] kklimonda: Google it or something, I have read articles and such, or search http://www.linuxtoday.com for the Ext4 articles or something, I am helping Martin31 :) [16:56] I'm trying to compile the intel video driver, but autoconf fails with a libdrm >= 2.4.11 dependency ("No package 'libdrm' found"). my libdrm2 package is version "2.4.11+git20090519.f355ad89-0ubuntu0sarvatt~jaunty", but i can't try to switch to 2.4.11-0ubuntu1 because that wants to uninstall e.g. xorg :/ anything i can do to have the autoconf script run? [16:56] Martin31: yep we are going to get all that sorted out [16:56] kklimonda, http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ext4 [16:56] Ahadiel: ok, tried Exaile, and it plays [16:56] sweet [16:56] kklimonda, They mention the pros/cons of converting ext3 to ext4 [16:56] whatvn, launchpad Bug #395803 [16:56] is it possible to add the karmic repo for only one package? [16:56] Roland, Hrm, I think Exaile uses gstreamer as well [16:56] Martin31: before you can do proper partition stuff, you need to be on the Ubuntu Live CD really though [16:57] Roland, Weird. [16:57] Martin31: for example you can't resize the / when Ubuntu is running it [16:57] Brekitz, I dont think it's a bug, just an process didn't fully stop [16:57] sebsebseb: i know thats what i did when i took the 20gb from one partition and made it into a new ext3 partition [16:57] Ahadiel: after trying to play a random wma faile in rhythmbox you can't play any other filetype until you restart the application [16:57] sigvelien: that was written 2 years ago. subpixel font handling etc has improved a lot.. those same options can be see in one of the menu items off System>Admin... The real question is DO you have access to the fonts? [16:57] imbezol: don't do that, things can mess up [16:57] sebsebseb: and after that i changed that into the new home [16:57] Brekitz, just kill its process and everything will be ok [16:57] Roland, could be a bug [16:58] Roland, Maybe check launchpad [16:58] Ahadiel, at least extents are working when you convert ext3 to ext4.. and extents aren't compatible with ext3 so the reasoning in Cons of converting isn't right [16:58] Martin31: ok your on a Live CD now? [16:58] sebsebseb: then what's the proper way to install that one package? [16:58] imbezol: which package is it? and there may be a ppa for it [16:58] Anyone here used Kile before to create LaTeX files? I just installed it via 'add-remove' and when I try to preview my code, I get kinda stuck. When I click preview selection or compile, or anything, I have no clue at all about how to view it [16:58] scunizi, yea. i do [16:58] sebsebseb: no, ill be right back, have to reboot ;) [16:58] sebsebseb: quota [16:58] !ppa > imbezol [16:58] imbezol, please see my private message [16:58] sebsebseb: what's a ppa? [16:58] imbezol: I haven't heard of your program [16:59] Martinp23: ok [16:59] sigvelien: good.. check this link for future reference.. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Fonts [16:59] GJ: try alt + f2 [16:59] sebsebseb: quota is a standard linux utility to manage user and group quota [16:59] Hi.. How do i insert a binary file1 into a binary file0 at a given offset? [17:00] * dreimark ubuntu-desktop (from kubuntu) seems to have unresolved dependcies currently [17:00] sebsebseb: and ppa doesn't sound like what i want.. i'm not uploading anything.. it's something that's already fixed in karmic === cabrey_ is now known as cabrey [17:00] imbezol: no ppa's are so you can get later versions of programs, without having to wait for the next Ubuntu release [17:00] i want to see how much we use? i want to see how much I use? [17:01] is LVM use as extend parition from 5 and above? [17:01] need_help`: no.. lvm has little to do with partitions [17:02] need_help`: you don't even need partitions on the disks [17:02] need_help`: though you can add partitions as PVs if you like [17:02] But Kjell, when I have some tex code written, and when I compile it or anything, where do I view it? Shouldn't need a command for that :D [17:02] imbezol thx got any link can help me to understand it? [17:03] GJ: you can use kdvi to view the files you compiled [17:03] if you want, i can write that [17:03] Ahadiel: seems like it's a known bug that rhythmbox doesn't play wma files when crossfading is enabled.(9.04) [17:03] need_help`: if you google LVM howto there are tonnes of them [17:03] Ahadiel: thnx anyway :P [17:03] I can't preview them directly from inside Kile? [17:03] need_help`: you need to get a grip on the basic layout of LVM and then it'll be easy [17:04] Roland, np [17:04] need_help`: PVs, VGs, LVs, [17:04] GJ: kile will open kdvi [17:04] sebsebseb: okay im on the live cd [17:04] how do i know my dhcp range? [17:05] GJ: kile just edit the code [17:05] Martin31: Ubuntu only on there now yes? [17:05] how can i see the install history of aptitude? what packages where installed/deinstalled when? [17:05] Did someone ping me? [17:05] sebsebseb: what do you mean ? I still have a windows partition [17:05] i'm trying to get WEP working with an NDISwrapped wireless card. I think I'm doing something wrong with wpa_supplicant. Would someone be willing to walk me through it? [17:05] Martin31: yes I am wondering what downloads is [17:06] in what language are kernel modules written, please? [17:06] Kjell: Don't think I got kdvi installed, leme do some diggin' and try to find if I can set it to fire up another program [17:06] sebsebseb: I have four hard drives that just the one with ubuntu [17:06] DawnLight: C [17:06] alan_: why bother.. web is useless.. you'd be better off implementing wireless restrictions by mac address and turning off broadcasting. [17:06] hey guys, i have talker here before on problems while installing: but still my laptop wont install ubuntu from the alternate iso: it freezes at 28%: Preparing cups. what can i do? [17:06] thanks th0r [17:06] Martin31: and your NTFS Downloads partition which is being used by Windows and Ubuntu? [17:06] GJ: you likely have the unifide program then. alt + f1 should open it [17:07] sebsebseb: the windows partition is on a completely different hard drive. its on /dev/sda1 [17:07] scunizi - [17:07] What kind of encryption does the OTR plugin for pidgin use? [17:07] Can anyone recommend an easy to use web development application for someone with limited experience with web development. I did my first website with FrontPage but eventually it broke my site beyond repair and I had to start again from scratchI did a website with html and css but the navigation was a nightmare to maintain as it had to be copied into the top of every page. Before that I used Frontpage until it broke my site. I understand Dream [17:07] Martin31: ok, but is the Downloads partition being used by both OS's? [17:07] Okay we're good. Thanks, whatvn [17:07] Kjell: alt f1 or alt f2 just launch up my Programs and Command line from Ubuntu, they're not Kile keys. [17:08] sebsebseb: I dont think so, its empty anyway [17:08] scunizi - this is my folk's network, and they have a lot of random laptops come through that they want to give immediate access [17:08] Kjell: when using them inside Kile* [17:08] scunizi, but still have some semblance of protection; i know, i've told them too [17:08] Martin31: If that drive is meant to be your Linux drive, why have you got a NTFS partition? [17:08] is it neccesary to be proficient in swahili to install Ubuntu? [17:08] netbios139, of course not [17:08] thanks Got [17:08] sebsebseb: because i dont want to use the whole 1TB for just an ubuntu drive [17:09] Kjell: Aha found how to get it working :) Thanks alot [17:09] GJ: ok the new viewer is called okular which should be install when you installed kile. otherwise you can use evince to view the files [17:09] Does http://paste.debian.net/41167 give a hint why I have only an unidirectional connection to sip:500@ekiga.net? [17:09] hi! how can I "unmount" a special usb device, which seems to be at /dev/ttyUSB0, and cannot be unmounted, because it dont need to be mounted at all? It's a microcontroller programming unit, and I'd like to have acces to it via a virtualboxed XP. That's why [host] ubuntu has to release it... [17:09] Martin31: yes I thought it would be something like that, well here's the thing, most later Linux's can read and write to NTFS no problem, as long as Windows shut it down, but there is also a driver for Windows to read Ext3 [17:09] Kjell Yep Okular is what it uses :) [17:10] Martin31: so you might want to change that to an Ext3 partition and use the driver for Windows, but it does not really matter that much [17:10] Damn pressed enter too soon! Can anyone recommend an easy to use web development application for someone with limited experience with web development? Back in my Microsoft days I did my first website with FrontPage but eventually it broke my site beyond repair and I had to start again from scratch. So then I used html and css but the navigation was a nightmare to maintain as it had to be copied into the top of every page. I have heard that Qu [17:10] so there ist Kubuntu, Edubuntu, Xubuntu, but i still haven't found Wubuntu? [17:10] !ext3 | Martin31 [17:10] Martin31: ext3 is the default filesystem on Ubuntu, and the most popular on Linux. You can read/write from Windows to ext3 via http://www.fs-driver.org [17:10] netbios139, what is wubuntu [17:10] Or Bubuntu, netbios139 :D [17:10] sebsebseb: might be a good idea, ill do that [17:10] GJ: but you can change what it launch it its settup. I find that kdvi is much better for image viewing [17:10] Martin31: It's Windows XP yes? [17:10] sebsebseb: yes it is [17:10] Martin31: and I would advice not to let Windows read and write to your / or /home [17:11] so there ist Kubuntu, Edubuntu, Xubuntu, but i still haven't found Wubuntu? [17:11] Kjell Ok I'll take a look at that ^ [17:11] netbios139, do you have a support question, or just wish to chat? #ubuntu-offtopic for chat [17:11] Hello [17:11] sebsebseb: well i really plan on not using windows at all, if i get ubuntu all set up [17:11] Wubuntu , could be a great Idea for a new Release, [17:11] !ot > netbios139 [17:11] netbios139, please see my private message [17:11] I am having a pretty annoying problem. I just switched OSes, and my old Ubuntu ecryptfs will not mount correctly. Would someone please help? [17:12] Kjell: One more quick question, when I compile the .tex file and stuff it should create some other files too (log file, .aux file etc), where do those end up? [17:12] th0r: Did you see his screenshot? You didn't have to pm me about his drive, if you have suggestions for his drive as well, he may appreciate you telling him [17:12] I'm using irssi from cmd, now idea how to read private messages! [17:12] netbios139, you use alt+the number of the window [17:12] netbios139, take chat elsewhere [17:13] netbios139: alt right arrow to get to the next window.. or alt and the window number [17:13] Greetings and salutations! [17:13] Martin31: you can move data around no problem at the moment? or onto an external hard disk? [17:13] GJ: in the same folder .tex file is [17:13] Slart, apparently, i needed a one that is not along my dhcp range. so there are two requirements, something that will remain static and is not along the dhcp range. how do I know? hehe [17:14] sebsebseb: yes i can move it around, but i just cant use the Update Manager because theres no space left [17:14] wers: if you [17:14] Somebody please help? what's the syntax to mount my private directory [17:14] wers: if you [17:14] wers: what ip do you have on your desktop computer? type "ifconfig" in a terminal to find out [17:14] fat fingers [17:14] scunizi: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:14] hehe.. the bots are coming for you, scunizi ;) [17:15] Martin31: yeah I was thinking if it was worth doing something slightly special to make the 9.10 clean install easier, once that's out, but does not sound like it in this case. Ok this is easy to sort your partitions out [17:15] sebsebseb: it doesnt make sense to me that theres no space left, i thought after i did that separate home there would be more [17:15] Martin31: your / is to small way to small that's the issue [17:15] Slart, 10.0.0.2 [17:15] sebsebseb: so thats why my separate home didnt work, because i only changed that and not / [17:15] scunizi, ? [17:15] Kjell: Ok thanks! [17:15] wers: then go with 10.0.1.1 for your iphone [17:16] Martin31: Ubuntu put's itself and the programs and such on / [17:16] Martin31: / would be like C in Windows with Home being D [17:16] wers: you can basically change anything but the 10... so 10.2.3.4 would also work [17:16] GJ: btw was it alt + 1 or alt + f1? [17:16] wers: if you're trying to set a static ip in a dhcp environment you should be able to do that. Make the computer that is static high up in the ip range for dhcp on your router.. so if the last address is 192.168.0.200 .. then make it that. In other words, keep static addresses high up and let dhcp take care of the lower addresses .. [17:16] hi.. i'm very confused with the CGI in Ubuntu [17:16] sebsebseb: well i let ubuntu have a whole 1 tb drive to make all its partitions on i wonder why it made its own / partition so small >S [17:16] Kjell: Forgot to check honestly, but alt+f1 fired up my Ubuntu applications menu (from the panel) [17:16] Martin31: yeah those guided installs aren't perfect, they can go wrong [17:17] meoblast001: ? [17:17] :) [17:17] Martin31: a lot more control if you set up the partitions yourself :) [17:17] suppose i have a file irc.cgi at /usr/lib/cgi-bin/cgiirc and want to access it.... do i go to http://localhost/cgi-bin/cgiirc/irc.cgi [17:17] GJ: alt+1 then [17:17] Slart and scunizi thanks :) [17:17] Martin31: how much RAM do you have by the way? [17:17] i'm getting 404s [17:17] sebsebseb: 2 GB === GJ is now known as GJ|Dinner [17:17] Martin31: it's also given you a really stupid sized swap [17:18] sebsebseb: yeah i read that something about that [17:18] hello [17:18] sebsebseb: what should i change it to be === ogra_ is now known as ogra [17:18] Slart, cant go online with 10.2.3.4 [17:18] this is really odd [17:18] Martin31: SWAP well in Windows it's known as virtual memory, with 2GB RAM it really isn't needed, unless your going to attempt to hibernate/sleep/suspend and then it should be double your RAM [17:18] is there a a tool like powertop to estimate desktop power usage for an old desktop? [17:19] wers: are you using some kind of router/gateway thingy? [17:19] sebsebseb: well im not gonna hibernate and all that [17:19] so is the swap fine for me as it is _ [17:19] derekS: powertop should work for older desktops too.. or it doesn't ? === miik is now known as smallfoot- [17:19] Martin31: well then you can just delete it, and you should still be fine, I ran without SWAP and 1GB RAM before, pretty well indeed [17:19] Slart, i have a wifi router connected to a wired router which is connected to my dsl [17:19] !swap | Martin31 [17:19] Martin31: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [17:19] Slart: i don't think apcm is working... [17:20] Martin31: Do what you want regarding SWAP, it really isn't important in your case [17:20] Slart: powertop tells me it can't get any readouts? [17:20] hi indus [17:20] I just had a very strange crash. Suddenly the screen went white (and the NumLock key locked up). I guess some of the system was still running, because I could hear Pidgin sound effects. But there was no way out of it and so I had to physically shut the box down. [17:20] wers: it's probably something that the router is doing then === GJ|Dinner is now known as GJ [17:20] Slart: err acpi [17:20] derekS: oh... yea.. that might make sense.. not sure if there is anything else out there.. I've only used powertop myself [17:20] wers: where did you put that number 10.2.3.4? [17:20] Is there any way to find out what has happened? [17:20] sebsebseb: i'm just going to leave the swap there, it doesnt bother me [17:20] any one can tell me how to make clean up system [17:20] scunizi, static ip for ipod touch [17:21] Slart: " Detailed C-state information is only available on Mobile CPUs (laptops)" [17:21] anyone know a good tutorial how to deploy XEN on Ubuntu? [17:21] zini3: check dmesg? [17:21] Martin31: and the extended is a container. as far as I know you don't really need one unless having four or more partitions [17:21] wers: that's not a valid ip address. try 192.168.0.119 and see what happens [17:21] Martin31: however those guided installs seem to like to make extended's if people need them or not [17:22] C-S-B__: How do I do that? (only on Linux for 48h now) [17:22] Martin31: so extended sometimes has to be used, because of the amount of partitions, and then they go in the extended [17:22] wers: depending on how the router defaults you might need to 192.168.1.119 [17:22] zini3: dmesg | tail [17:22] that will show you some of the last log entries [17:22] Martin31: it was suggested by that other person, to have a seperate home, but you don't really need one [17:23] sebsebseb: im formatting my old windows partition and reattaching it to the other partition on that drive, and it says 3 hours remaining :( [17:23] scunizi, still cant go online. i'm on a netgear. it's ip is 10.0.0.1 connected to a linksys wired router 192.168.1.1 [17:23] Martin31: normalley I would make my / about 12GB, and then have a big seperate home [17:23] C-S-B__: http://pastebin.com/m6d95729f [17:24] Martin31: the downloads partition or what do you mean? [17:24] sebsebseb: what is the separate home for, why is the default one not good enough _ [17:24] wers: have you got your gateways correct? why do you have them configured on different networks [17:24] Martin31: formatting means removing data! [17:24] wers: the netgear is probably not acting as the dhcp server ..the linksys is. [17:24] sebsebseb: no its on a different drive, and i dont want the windows anymore, and i have all the data backed up [17:24] scunizi, btw, the netgear is the wireless, in case i didnt state correctly [17:25] Martin31: your / is to small it's as simple as that, it's just over 2GB [17:25] okay, and since i already made a separate home should i keep that or move back _ [17:25] Martin31 with a separate home directory you can totally reinstall ubuntu and not lose any of your configs or data [17:25] C-S-B__, i dont know. sorry. hehe [17:25] Martin31: really /'s should be about 8GB, with netbooks being the exception when they only have like 4GB space, but also there's a special version for netbooks anyway [17:25] zini3: nothing bad in your log... you can look through them all in administration ->log file viewer [17:26] wers: i would recommend getting all your devices on the same network. [17:26] okay so i will keep my separate home for the next ubuntu [17:26] 192.168.1.0 network would suffice [17:26] Martin31: it's fine to keep that seperate home for now, as long as Ubuntu is using it no problem [17:26] What are the standard programs for ripping and burning disks? Versions before Jaunty had Brasero and Sound Juicer... but these didn't seem to install for 9.04. Is the functionality now embedded with Nautilus or something? [17:26] wers: yea.. I got that.. typically when you have a seperate wireless adaptor connected to a wired router, the wireless needs to be in a "re-broadcasting" type mode.. I forgot the actual term.. but basically the wireless gets it's ip and the ip for all connected devices from the primary router responsible for that.. ie your linksys [17:26] anyways thanks for the help sebsebseb im going to eat dinner now [17:27] meglo: brasero is still there, and I use acidrip for dvds and grip for cds [17:27] wers: as scunizi says, best to have just one dhcp server running [17:27] Martin31: no you will start over when 9.10 is out, guided installs will do Ext4 by default :) ,but as I hope you have learnt now, you get much more control when setting up partitions yourself, so you will probably do that :) oh and when I do that, I tend to set things up in gparted a bit first, then finnish off in manual install [17:28] th0r: Ok, Brasero is still there. Did Sound Juicer/Audio CD Extractor come with your default install, though? Did you replace it with those programs or did you just add them for lack of the application(or just them being superior? [17:28] scunizi, so my ipod touch ip should be based on the wired linksys right? but all the 192.168 IPs cant go online on my ipod while 10.0.x.x IPs dont remain static :| [17:28] meglo: I installed gnome but run xfce for day to day. I did not delete soundjuicer and it isn't in the menus, so I assume it isn't in gnome either. [17:28] C-S-B__, how do I do that? [17:29] C-S-B__: Would this qualify as something bad (in my Log?) http://pastebin.com/m2d827159 [17:29] meglo: brasero was there by default...it is I think the default cd/dvd burning software for gnome [17:29] meglo: I think I did have to install acidrip and grip postfacto [17:29] th0r: Interesting. Thanks. Nautilus from GNOME can burn discs it seems, so I suppose Canonical thought Sound Juicer was redundant? === JonCat is now known as Dox [17:29] Does http://paste.debian.net/41167 give a hint why I have only an unidirectional connection to sip:500@ekiga.net? [17:29] zini3 segfaults are bad, but im not sure whats causing them... [17:30] zini3: if it just happened the once, i wouldnt worry so much. [17:30] !firefox3.5 [17:30] Sorry, I don't know anything about firefox3.5 [17:30] C-S-B__: 3rd time now. Twice in a row today and once yesterday [17:30] !firefox 3.5 [17:30] hello, how to defin which application is running on port 2 on my machine [17:30] Sorry, I don't know anything about firefox 3.5 [17:30] is the ubuntu remix only different in the way the desktop is designed? [17:30] aww. [17:31] wers: i havent the time at the moment, but essentially use your browser to go to the config page of your ap and router etc and configure from there. [17:31] !hello \ sebsebserb [17:31] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [17:31] Hello friends [17:31] !hello [17:31] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [17:31] !ff35 > forceflo1 [17:31] forceflo1, please see my private message [17:31] wers: if your stil having trouble tomorrow, i might have a bit of time to sit you through it. [17:31] wers: the linksys on the general setup page allows you to tell it how many addresses or the range of addresses that are allowed. It usually defaults to 20 or so. That would be the entire range the router will allow. the netgear needs to be in (I think its called) a bridged mode.. log into it's setup screen and poke around.. or google.. this really is a #hardware issue and OT for this channel === maximo is now known as Maximo [17:31] th0r: Sorry, I meant Nautilus can rip discs now it seems**, not burning discs. Brasero is still there for this reason. [17:31] C-S-B__, thanks :) i'll research more about it. and I hate netgear. lol [17:31] essentially, you dont want the ap to be giving out dhcp address, just the main router. [17:32] meglo: I use Thunar in xfce, and to be honest would use it in gnome as well due to the config possibilities [17:32] wers: and you want them both on the same network. (i use 192.168.1.0/24) [17:32] Very strange problem in ubuntu 8.10, after security update the system went into read only file system , i hv found many tutorial and remount the harddisk, but now i have the same situtation at startup , and ubuntu misses to remount the harddisk, can any one help me and tell me how i can remount the hard disk on boot. thanx [17:33] wers: the modem will be the default gateway [17:33] scunizi, okay. one last thing, i tinker with the linksys or netgear? [17:33] sebsebseb: hello [17:33] wers: netgear [17:33] th0r: I was running xubuntu, but it wasn't as powerful(but it was fine to use) as GNOME + related stuff. I'd use Nautilus because of the intense integration still, but people have their preferences and Thunar is a very good file manager. [17:33] Maximo: hi [17:33] this is confusing [17:34] scunizi, C-S-B__ thanks a lot! [17:34] meglo: I am old school...I want a program to do one thing and only one thing, and I expect it to do that flawlessly [17:34] is /usr/lib/cgi-bin the default cgi-bin in Ubuntu? [17:34] Very strange problem in ubuntu 8.10, after security update the system went into read only file system , i hv found many tutorial and remount the harddisk, but now i have the same situtation at startup , and ubuntu misses to remount the harddisk, can any one help me and tell me how i can remount the hard disk on boot. thanx [17:34] wers: np [17:34] ubuntu is at firefox 3.0.11...thefirefox site has 3.5....when is ubuntu going to have 3.5 [17:35] FloridaGuy, when 9.10 is released [17:35] what time does cron run on? 1 0 * * * ? does it run on 12:01 midnight? [17:35] !ff35 | FloridaGuy kklimonda [17:35] FloridaGuy kklimonda: Firefox 3.5 Final is currently being built and tested for Jaunty. If you *need* to install it, the firefox-3.5 *beta* package from the repositories will be updated when testing is complete. See also http://is.gd/1jkNY [17:35] th0r: I'm way old school, I unwillingly use netbsd(the cat came back from Berkeley waving flags) and stick with my emacs. Just kidding, I don't care about elitism or 'old-school' stuff anymore. [17:35] FloridaGuy: Ubuntu normalley only do security updates in the repos, and well Firefox 3.5 does not count as one [17:35] when is firefox 3.5 coming out? damn, it's taking long [17:35] sebsebseb, you mean Fx 3.5 will be a default for Jaunty? [17:35] kklimonda: no [17:36] it won't be [17:36] as far as I know [17:36] sebsebseb: What about in 9.04.1 possibly? [17:36] meglo: I don't think there will be one of those either [17:36] since not LTS [17:36] meglo: well....I think 'integration' is adding pontoons to a sports car. I would much rather have the performance than the 'extras' [17:36] It will be in the regular repos by then, sebsebseb, I don't see why they wouldn't... [17:37] sebsebseb: I think if it was LTS they'd be less willing to put a new release in the repos for a core program mid-distro lifetime. [17:37] Ubuntu is not about having the very latest stuff, it's about having stability, and then people can use ppa's or whatever if they want later stuff, or wait for the next release [17:37] !ff35 [17:37] Firefox 3.5 Final is currently being built and tested for Jaunty. If you *need* to install it, the firefox-3.5 *beta* package from the repositories will be updated when testing is complete. See also http://is.gd/1jkNY [17:37] it's been that way for a week now... [17:37] there are other distros that are about having the later stuff first :) [17:38] Ubuntu tends to always be behind those, when it comes to later versions of programs [17:38] sebsebseb: Ubuntu is about usability and a happy medium of features and functionality for desktop users. It doesn't have the latest stuff, and if you're looking for good stability you should be running LTS. For Jaunty I'm unsure of why they wouldn't package FF3.5 in 9.04.1 and will await an official decision unless there already is one. [17:38] why does the Pidgin buddy list show up in the Window List widget for every workspace, even though I've told it to only show up on the workspace it runs on? [17:38] Very strange problem in ubuntu 8.10, after security update the system went into read only file system , i hv found many tutorial and remount the harddisk, but now i have the same situtation at startup , and ubuntu misses to remount the harddisk, can any one help me and tell me how i can remount the hard disk on boot. thanx [17:38] meglo, there won't be a point release for 9.04 [17:38] Firefox 3.5 in Jaunty as an update from the repo I doubt it [17:38] I installed 3.5 off the mozilla site and just replaced the link in /usr/bin [17:38] espeasilly considering how Open Office 3.0 wasn't in 8.10 [17:38] when nearly every other distro had it [17:39] kklimonda: Oh, you're right. [17:39] instead people had to do a ppa for Open Office or install another way, if they wanted it so badly in 8.10 [17:39] kklimonda: Moving from debian 4.0r8 and 5.0.3 and stuff :P [17:39] meglo, Fx 3.5 is in universe already, I guess it will be updated to stable release when ready [17:39] Ahh I need some help guys. Im using gtkrecordmydesktop and have a 5min ubuntu tutorial that i have edited together with Pitivi video editor.I put all the clips together with no problem. Now I just did a voiceover with Sound Recorder and I have it done. My problem is that my recording is a mono recording and I cant seem to import it to Pitivi to use for the audio track. Does it need to be a stereo converted track or does Pitivi not suppo [17:39] suppose i have a file irc.cgi at /usr/lib/cgi-bin/cgiirc and want to access it.... do i go to http://localhost/cgi-bin/cgiirc/irc.cgi [17:40] meglo: make sure you didn't miss what I just said about Open Office 3.0 in 8.10 [17:40] sebsebseb: Ok well I suppose it wont be by default in main. But the endorsed repos available will certainly have it, eh? [17:40] sebsebseb: I read. [17:40] does anyone know why my firefox is collapsing all the time when flash show starts? i have this newest ubuntu. [17:40] Does http://paste.debian.net/41167 give a hint why I have only an unidirectional connection to sip:500@ekiga.net? [17:40] meglo, well, yes - it's already in universe as firefox-3.5 package [17:40] jakeriver: Are you using the Adobe flash plugin or one of the free alternatives? [17:41] kklimonda: Ah, yeah. [17:41] meglo, it won't be promoted to main for jaunty for sure (also there is no reason to do it anyway) [17:41] meglo: Probably in most Ubuntu developers eyes and Canoncial the Firefox 2 series is good enough, untill Karmic Koala Ubuntu 9.10 released at the end of October [17:41] kklimonda: I understand that, I assumed that would be how main would operate. I just missed the fact that point releases are for LTS only. [17:41] sebsebseb, sure - that's why 8.04 was released with 3.0 beta :P [17:41] linuxguy2009: ffox offered that installation and i took it. i dont know what is it. [17:42] kklimonda: that would be the exception since it's LTS [17:42] kklimonda: don't just expect something that isn't a security update, to be available in the 9.04 repo [17:42] jakeriver: Your using a free flash player thats why your having issues. Go to adobe web site and download and install the deb for 8.04+. That fix ya. [17:42] sebsebseb, well, they wouldn't make an exception if 2.x was "good enough" [17:42] hi [17:42] sebsebseb, i know how it works. [17:42] can I save evolution memos to be seen on another app? [17:42] linuxguy2009: okey. i will try that, thank you. [17:42] kklimonda: if you want later stuff first, use Fedora 11 or something :) [17:43] welcome [17:43] how to define what remote desktop is on port 2 in ubuntu and change its password? [17:43] export evolution memos? [17:43] kklimonda: I used a ppa of ubuntu-mozilla-security to install FF3.5. Would I be able to safely migrate to the betas provided in universe? Just remove the ppa and... 'downgrade' to the universe package? [17:43] linuxguy2009: should i uninstall this free first somehow? [17:43] How do I use LILO to boot ubuntu from a different partition? [17:43] kklimonda: Fedora tend to have newer stuff quite a bit before Ubuntu [17:43] hello everybody [17:43] jakeriver: umm Im not sure how I have never messed with the others. Adobe one might over ride it maybe. [17:43] sebsebseb, nah, I'm stuck with ubuntu by my own choice. ;) [17:43] toehio3: is there a reason not to use gnome? [17:44] sebsebseb: I think he knows more about this linux stuff in general than you think. [17:44] linuxguy2009: okey, let's see what happens. [17:44] do you mean grub? [17:44] ok [17:44] is there anyone who has an expirience in network programming with gnutls? [17:44] toehio3: yes, exactly, sorry! [17:44] toehio3: yes, if you want to use some other GUI [17:44] Nobody does any screencasting or video projects here? Dang. [17:45] kklimonda: Would you happen to know anything about migrating nearly the same package between repos as I described? [17:45] arial.ttf don't have in ubuntu? I try apt-file search arial.ttf and not find. [17:45] I'd like it to drop the bits in without using a PPA, as it would have ubufox, file associations, and the official branding. [17:46] meglo: right so just install it directly from Mozilla? [17:46] sebsebseb: Err no. [17:46] meglo, there is nothing that would prevent you from downgrading them in distribution itself [17:46] C-S-B__: I am using an intel mac. Ubuntu is installed along with grub on an external drive. I have manged to get lilo working from a cd and want to use it to boot ubuntu. [17:46] sebsebseb: Ah it doesn't matter anyway. I need to get ecryptfs working in the ubiquity installer and do a clean-slate install. kklimonda/sebsebseb I didn't see encrypted /home offered for 9.04 in my installation procedure... [17:47] I have some questions to gnuTLS, can somebody help me? [17:47] meglo, the only problem I can think of is that ppa has newer version of firefox 3.5 that has an incompatible format of data.. [17:47] C-S-B__: On intel macs you can't directly boot usb so I thought of using lilo because that's all I have right now. [17:47] meglo: it is available on the alternate CD [17:47] kklimonda: Yes, I would have to see if I can downgrade properly. [17:47] hello there [17:47] meglo, firefox is only 3 or 4 packages so it shouldn't be hard [17:47] meglo: downgrading Ubuntu versions can really mess things up, also downgrading repo programs might as well [17:47] hi [17:47] sebsebseb: But it is also available in Ubiquity from what I hear. I want to use ubiquity for myself and other friends/family. I already did the alt-install but that isn't good for other people. [17:48] suppose i have a file irc.cgi at /usr/lib/cgi-bin/cgiirc and want to access it.... do i go to http://localhost/cgi-bin/cgiirc/irc.cgi [17:48] sebsebseb: Which is why I'll probably just do a clean reinstall with encrypted /home for cleanliness. [17:48] now i have an theme installed on ubuntu , but when i create an new user its not there, how do i make it system wid? so that every new user will have that theme [17:48] meglo: it's best to use offical things from Canonical also, instead of these 3rd party Ubuntu apps [17:48] meglo, I've reinstalled 9.04 today and I can't remember having an option to encrypt /home [17:48] sebsebseb: ubuntu-mozilla-security isn't totally 3rd party though [17:48] kklimonda: alternate CD [17:49] sebsebseb, yes - but he's talking about desktop cd [17:49] kklimonda: I saw screenshots of a checkbox to do so. ecryptfs allows for using your user account pass as encryption key for /home... [17:49] kklimonda: yes, but I was saying to you that it's available on the alernate [17:49] Which is what i want [17:49] i wanna a service [17:49] meglo, wasn't it from 9.10? [17:49] C-S-B__: do you know if there are any grub live cds available for download? [17:49] kklimonda: It was on that one linux hardware site that is popular... from various sources it appears that it should be present in 9.04... [17:50] kklimonda: I've asked about this before in here but didn't get an answer. [17:50] how do i get the currently installed version of a package from CLI? [17:50] fyi, it looks like firefox 3.5 is in the ubuntu repository [17:51] !ff35 [17:51] Firefox 3.5 Final is currently being built and tested for Jaunty.

[17:51] meglo, beta from march [17:51] meglo: installing now, version says 3.5, not 3.5b4 like before [17:51] djiezes: Interesting... [17:52] I'll backup my profile and bookmarks, remove my PPA and update the repo cache and see [17:52] oh, wait [17:52] meglo: okay, it's shiretoki 3.5, not the beta [17:52] 3.5 was just released to jaunty-security [17:52] jamiejackson: dpkg -s [17:53] hi, I tried to set up postfix in ubuntu 8.10, I follow all the default setting when install postfix and mailx, but when I tried to send mail to external, the mail never got sent, but I can send mail to internal users, can anyone tell me what I need to do in order to send mail to external? [17:53] I wonder why it doesn't have an official branding though [17:54] kklimonda: the development versions of Firefox and Thunderbird don't get proper Mozilla branding [17:54] sebsebseb, 3.5 was uploaded to jaunty-security today [17:55] kklimonda: well where is it as in an update then? :D [17:55] meglo: okay, it's shiretoki 3.5, not the beta. [17:55] That is the code-name [17:55] does it have the firefox branding? [17:55] or just the globe... [17:55] sebsebseb, if you have firefox-3.5 then you have to wait for mirrors to catch up [17:55] :\ [17:55] meglo: the globe is for the deveopment versions [17:55] meglo, for some reason it doesn't [17:55] leftfb in here ? [17:56] globe = development version [17:56] Firefox logo = final version [17:56] sebsebseb: But it looks like it was upgraded to final. Shouldn't final be a release? It should have official branding - if djiezes has the final I'm wondering if he has branding. [17:57] !ff35 | meglo [17:57] meglo: Firefox 3.5 Final is currently being built and tested for Jaunty.

[17:57] shift_, most gnome applications that somehow work with multimedia are dependent on gstreamer [17:57] ext4 sucks! [17:58] shift_: No. Gstreamer is a higher-level gnome framework for multimedia [17:58] can anyone help a linuxnoob? [17:58] lol [17:58] humbolt: if you think that you must be noob, or be using another file system, which isn't Ext, but is also good [17:58] just lost a config file due to my system freezing [17:58] sebsebseb: I'll revert back to ext3 [17:58] i've just installed ubuntu with the minimal cd ... if i did apt-get install KDE ... which version would i get ? [17:59] kklimonda, meglo, yeah I just uninstalled totem and gstreamer related packages.... left alsa intact and now sound doesn't work at all (even if I use mplayer) [17:59] humbolt: and yeah Ext4 isn't quite perfect in 9.04 [17:59] Is there a way to make Network Monitor Applet keep track of the packets received/sent between sessions? [17:59] My cpu used to have sound, but i left it on for three days and when i came back my sound was fried....tried reboot, tried diff speakers and hedfones, nothing works. [17:59] humbolt: it would be if they did things a bit differnetly though, but no [17:59] sorry, it works again. [17:59] humbolt: maybe not perfect, but much better [17:59] any way to reset original config of sound in terminal? [17:59] shift_: What other packages were removed, besides gstreamer? Probably something pulse-audio related which is screwing with things... [17:59] shift_: Err ok. [17:59] alex_mayorga: I think ifconfig does that [18:00] sebsebseb: well I really can't accept loosing config files. If at least they would stay as they were before editing. But ending up empty?! [18:00] sebsebseb: unacceptable! [18:00] humbolt: however it's also not default in 9.04, so seen as some as being buggy or development, even though other distros such as Fedora 11 use as default, but also have a proper kernel for it. saying that though the good news is Ubuntu 9.10 will have Ext4 by default, and a proper kernel for it :) [18:00] th0r, let me check, I'm on a pay per GB connection and would like to have my own records instead of paying blindly whatever the ISP asks for [18:01] alex_mayorga: in a terminal type "watch ifconfig ' [18:01] sebsebseb: when is the next LTS release due? [18:01] how do i rip an audio cd to mp3? [18:01] humbolt: there is even some stuff in the 9.04 release notes and Ext4 issues [18:01] !notes | humbolt [18:01] humbolt: Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) release notes can be found here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyJackalope/ReleaseNotes [18:01] humbolt, well - in theory the next LTS is going to be 10.04 [18:01] uhhhmmmm, anyone willing to help a noob... [18:02] alex_mayorga: and I believe the numbers in ifconfig are continuous, they don't reset every day or anything like that. Also there are a number of network monitoring tools that will do that work for you, create graphs and everything [18:02] humbolt: yep 10.04 will be the next one, April 2010 [18:02] th0r, thanks that helps, but that wont keep record for subsecuent sessions, right? [18:02] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CDRipping ARMENIAN [18:02] humbolt, but Shuttleworth was saying that he's considering holding it off till october so we can release it when new debian is released [18:02] kklimonda: sebsebseb: hope ext4 issues and damn pulseaudio are sorted out until then! [18:02] humbolt: yeah sound issues, that's not fun [18:03] bazhang: thanks :) [18:03] pulseaudio, especially for the recording side of things, sucks increadibly! [18:03] alex_mayorga: that's what I mean...I think the totals will continue between sessions, so you take a reading now, another at the end of the month and there you have it. Also look into nagios, whatsupgold, big brother and others [18:03] humbolt, it was explicitly said in release notes for 9.04 that ext4 may not be as stable as ext3 [18:03] I'm using Jaunty on a Dell xps m1210...sometimes I lose the ability to suspend or even shutdown. The power button does nothing, nor does closing the lid. But usually it works. What can I look at to troubleshoot this? Right now I'm having the problem. Oh, scratch that...after about 60 seconds, the dialog finally came up. [18:03] MY sound doesnt work anymore, it used to work, i did nothing to my cpu for it to fry, someone please help me. Any way i can reset the sound settings through terminal [18:03] kklimonda: yes, that's ok. I am not moaning about that anymore. [18:03] alex_mayorga: also...look at installing gkrellm, it is in the repos. The network monitor there keeps daily, weekly and monthly totals [18:03] th0r, would keep an eye on that command and check your suggestions [18:03] humbolt, and wrt pulseaudio every new release should be better than that last one [18:04] Sorry, I'm totally a newbie and I need some help about downloading from fserve. Chatzilla works fine, but if I use pidgin and type the trigger, then I don't get the long message with command list in response. What's wrong? [18:04] Windows users can just install 3.5 right when released. Linux needs a stable ABI and the community has to merge into a single distro with great corporate backing to weather out the coming legislative apocalypse(DMCA 2.0, prompted cyber-terror/katrina crackdowns, whatever the EU has in store). We'll need TC signed kernels with escrow, klipper chips and mandated LSM modules from our respective federal authorities. Behold the future. [18:04] for a command in the crontab, is there a way to insert the current month, day, or hour into the parameters of the command being called? [18:04] alex_mayorga: for simple....gkrellm, for complete and impressive, nagios or whatsupgold [18:04] !kubuntu | Emery [18:04] Emery: Kubuntu is Ubuntu with KDE, the K Desktop Environment, instead of Gnome. See http://kubuntu.org for more information - For support: #kubuntu - See also !KDE [18:04] sebsebseb, btw - firefox 3.5 from jaunty-security is a stable version. for various reasons (SRU mainly) it doesn't have an official branding thouch [18:04] though* [18:04] meglo: what are you on about? and loads of the other distros do it by default now, or have as an update just like that [18:04] i need to know something about flock [18:04] meglo, please discuss in #ubuntu-offtopic [18:04] meglo: it's just Ubuntu is always behind with stuff like this [18:04] DasEi, i'm not using kubuntu ... it's ubuntu .. [18:04] bazhang: is sound juicer no longer installed on ubuntu by default? [18:04] i need help .... i am a MSc computer network security student and have to do a project as part of my course... can anyone suggest some topics which are feasable [18:05] What's the most lightweight ubuntu distro? [18:05] GJ, define lightweight [18:05] i use the ubuntu system made by dell but i dont know what i should download from flock's site [18:05] th0r, I'm using http://library.gnome.org/users/gnome-netstatus/2.26/ for now [18:05] sebsebseb: So you're saying balkanized distros are causing my problems? [18:05] :q/join #linuxhelp [18:05] kklimonda: I just hope that LTS will be a really stable release this time. Not like the last time, when pulseaudio, which is still not really production ready, has been pushed in in the last minute! [18:05] Travis-42: no, but all though are available via the date command [18:05] oops [18:05] stew: ok thank you [18:05] th0r, it seems to reset the numbers by session though [18:05] kklimonda: The ones that don't take alot of memory to run, and thus run quite good on older systems. [18:06] Emery: other surfaces, but installed by minimal, the body off all (ubu,kubu,xubu .. and so on ) is same [18:06] !firefox [18:06] 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 - See also !firefox-3.5 [18:06] has anyone here tried using debootsrap on ubuntu with apt-proxy? [18:06] GJ, probably arch linux with some lightweight WM [18:06] meglo: no I am saying if you want later stuff first, and sometimes even when it's beta, get a distro such as Fedora. For example Fedora 11 came with Firefox 3.5 Beta 4. [18:06] Hi, I'm gaving trouble setting the IP address from the command line. I have edited the /etc/interfaces but when I do /etc/init.d/networking restart, it looks like it's restarted OK but the IP details have not changed, even after a reboot. ANy ideas ? [18:06] ARMENIAN, it is optional (ie needs to be installed) sound-juicer is the package name [18:06] alex_mayorga: I found the system monitors in gnome took an awful lot of system resources. I installed gkrellm (even under gnome) and it monitors a ton of stuff with very little impact on system resources [18:06] Travis-42: for instance, "date +%d" would give you day of month, see man date for others [18:06] kklimonda Thanks:) [18:06] humbolt, audio stack was always the least polished part of linux. [18:06] bazhang: yeah, was trying soundjuicer and it wasnt working then i did apt-cache search and found it, thanks [18:06] sebsebseb: Oh well. Fedora breaks easily. [18:06] meglo, sebsebseb please continue this discussion in #ubuntu-offtopic [18:07] hey all, when im trying to upgrade my sys, it says cant install 'ubuntu-desktop' please report this as a bug. what should i do next? [18:07] bazhang: It is over. Thanks for keeping an eye out. [18:07] meglo: well then I suggest sticking with Ubuntu and not complaining loads that you haven't got Firefox 3.5 as an update [18:07] ishkur, report a bug on launchpad [18:07] stew: yea that helps, and I should be able to just put it between ` ` to insert it as a parameter. thanks! [18:07] ishkur: could you paste your sources.list ? [18:07] bazhang: I am ending the discussion now :) [18:07] sebsebseb: Do as channel cops say, I'm not going to engage. [18:07] I've edited /etc/interfaces because I want to change my IP but even after a reboot I get no change, any ideas? [18:07] SunOS solaris 5.11 snv_111b i86pc i386 i86pc Solaris [18:08] meglo, sebsebseb but 9.04 was also released with firefox 3.5 - just not as default. [18:08] shaboo: wrong file /etc/networking/interfaces [18:08] moltenbobcat, ah thx [18:08] kklimonda: I understand that. I have patience, I can wait. [18:08] if you tell me where to find it, sure [18:08] shaboo: and you don't have to reboot you can just do a /etc/init.d/networking restart [18:08] Anyone know what program I can use to combine a WAV audio track with an AVI video? [18:09] meglo, i'm lost - for what? ;) [18:09] !who | ishkur [18:09] ishkur: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [18:09] moltenbobcat, what's the file interfaces in /etc for ? [18:09] ishkur: open a terminal ... [18:09] daseil, done [18:09] ishkur: sudo apt-get install pastebinit [18:09] shaboo: not sure but the one I edit is in networking [18:09] was there something in that file already? [18:10] ishkur: pastebinit /etc/apt/sources.list [18:10] kklimonda: For FF3.5 as a stable, branded, integrated package from official repos for 9.04. Unless I'm mistaken, and this will never happen? [18:10] there is a program I execute by shell. Is there any way to know its dependences? [18:10] meglo, it will never happen for 9.04 [18:10] !tab [18:10] You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [18:10] ishkur: copy the url from trml in here [18:10] Woops >_< [18:10] kklimonda: So FF3.5 will be finalized in universe, but stay unbranded? [18:11] Why do they even bother to have it in universe if not for an option that users have to upgrade? I'm not saying they need to remaster the ISOs, I'm talking post installatoin. [18:11] meglo, there are various reasons - the main are that having both 3.0 and 3.5 with the same icons would confuse users and it's explicitly forbidden in SRU policty to change UI [18:11] meglo, yes - it's already finalized if you use main mirror [18:11] meglo, because 3.5 still breaks things [18:12] im new to ubuntu and trying to figure out wine so i can us office 07 for work could anyone help pls [18:12] kklimonda: 'firefox' can be symlinked to FF3.5 trivially, and all icons will launch FF3.5 and update .mozilla [18:12] meglo, for example none of extensions I have installed from repository works with 3.5 yet [18:12] meglo: It was released with 3.0, 3.5 isn't "bugfix/security" updates. 3.5 exists for those who wish to use 3.5, but 3.0 is still the official. [18:12] daseil http://pastebin.com/f12fc3b72 [18:12] meglo: kklimonda has a point there, must add ons for the Firefox 2 series won't work with Firefox 3.5 yet [18:12] mbkings:did you try openoffice ? [18:12] did* [18:12] mbkings: Your aware that openoffice can open some MS office docs right? [18:12] meglo: most not must above [18:12] sebsebseb: I use few updates directory from mozilla which are compatible. [18:12] meglo, also it would break working systems - imagine that you have 100s of computers with custom extensions and after a single update they are all broken [18:12] sebsebseb: that is not an issue for me [18:12] yes but will it work in reverse also? [18:13] meglo, then you can install 3.5 by hand [18:13] mbkings: yes [18:13] mbkings: Yes whataver openoffice can open Im shure it can save as well. [18:13] helloo [18:13] meglo, developers have to think about broader picture. [18:13] kklimonda: I don't ask for it to be marked as an update! I just wonder if it will be available in the official mirrors for users to install at their own will. [18:13] well sweet then i will boot office 07 then to [18:13] meglo, it is - as a firefox-3.5 package [18:14] thankyou for the help [18:14] mbkings: you can decide in which format oo stores, just for text I prefer abiword, as it loads faster [18:14] mbkings: welcome [18:14] kklimonda: Then I have no problem other than it needs to be compiled with official branding and the ubufox extension updated for it, maybe also marked as a beta dependency [18:14] meglo, it's was already updated to a final version - it just don't replace 3.0 in any scope and doesn't use official branding to avoid confusion. [18:14] I don't see why this is hard. [18:14] ishkur: your sources.list ? [18:14] kklimonda: I don't want it to be replacing anything. I just want it to be an option. [18:14] meglo, a) SRU policy explicitly forbid changes to packages that change user interface. [18:14] Now if only there were some video editing peeps here.ah [18:15] why do I have mp3 as a profile setting in sound juicer, but I can't choose it when trying to extract? [18:15] Windows users get all the latest FOSS software without having to worry about their base system. Haha. [18:15] mbkings: hi most of Office 2003 works well under wine and I think Office 2007, however ideally you should use the alternatives first, Open Office, KOffice, Abiword, and Gnumeric a spreadsheet app [18:15] daseil: http://pastebin.com/f12fc3b72 [18:15] ARMENIAN: trying to extract what? [18:15] linuxguy2009: an audio cd to mp3 [18:15] mbkings: and for email the default Evolution or Mozilla Thunderbird or some such :) [18:15] meglo, you can use a distribibution with rolling updates and have all the newest software [18:15] kklimonda: Base system doesn't matter to me. If that is the problem then why is it even in universe? There are thousands of packages that change the user interface. [18:15] !tab | ishkur [18:15] ARMENIAN: Oh you need Lame installed and bad and ugly and both in multiverse so you get all codecs. [18:15] ishkur: You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [18:16] will do thanks sebsebseb [18:16] i'm getting this mail every day [18:16] ciao [18:16] etc/cron.daily/sysklogd: [18:16] Use of uninitialized value in numeric ge (>=) at /usr/sbin/syslogd-listfiles line 129 [18:16] meglo: Windows users blah de blah, it depends on the Linux distro, if you just get a later program version just like that or not [18:16] any ideas how to fix that? [18:16] linuxguy2009: hmm i think i have bad and ugly installed and i tried sudo apt0get install lame and it said that it was mnually installed and up to date [18:16] ARMENIAN: I actually prefer to use sound juicer for CD to FLAC and then Sound Converter for FLAC to MP3, AAC etc. Sound Juicer requires you to know ungodly amounts of gstreamer coding. [18:16] sebsebseb: I don't understand what you're saying. Also what is with the 5 spacings between arbitrary words? Is your keyboard broken? [18:17] meglo, to change a package in a released ubuntu version you have to follow SRU procedure. this procedure states explicitly that you can't change an interface in any way. [18:17] meglo: I already told you about another distro, where you get most of the later Linux programs first, before Ubuntu [18:17] meglo: and as defaults [18:17] We have a beta package that is finalized in FF3.5. I shall install that, but kklimonda says this SRU forbids them from applying official branding? [18:17] This sounds ridiculous. [18:17] linuxguy2009: hmm it seems it does it itself though if u have all the codecs, im gonna see if I have ugly and bad installed [18:17] thanks for the help cya laters [18:17] We have the ability to offer users a choice for FF3.5, but 'eh, just wait until late october' [18:17] ARMENIAN: With sound converter theres no gstreamer coding stuff you just pick and choose format and bitrate. [18:17] swoody, u there? [18:18] meglo: http://www.distrowatch.com :) [18:18] can anyone get vdpau to work with mplayer in jaunty? [18:18] ARMENIAN: Yeah but umm good luck if you want to change the sound juicer bitrates for any format at all. [18:18] linuxguy2009: isn't sound juicer the same thing? [18:18] ishkur: is there a reason for you having backports enabled ? in which circumstance you get your error ? [18:18] evonise`emp: yeah, how'd it go? [18:18] ARMENIAN: Same thing as what? [18:18] linuxguy2009: :P I don't need to change any bitrates, this cd was recorded from mp3s either way :P [18:19] ARMENIAN: Have you looked at how to change the MP3 bitrate in sound juicer yet? Its horrible. [18:19] oh ok [18:19] sebsebseb: Or I can just work with this to get what I want. I guess there is some silly rule that forbids official branding? Well screw official branding then. I already have firefox symlinked to FF3.5 rather than FF3, and just want the integration(ubufox, file associations). [18:19] I only see the globe when I go to Help -> About. [18:19] moltenbobcat, Thx heaps that worked a treat [18:19] DasEi1: backports? i get the error when ubuntu tries to update itself [18:20] Oh, and the 'Shiretoko' as the process name. [18:20] ARMENIAN: I know K3B lets you copy right off the disk to any format you want. Thats a cool feature.But all the other bells and whistles in K3B scare me.hehe [18:20] meglo: it might also be to do with Mozilla why it's a globe your getting, this stuff can be pretty difficult to explain, espesailly to someone that is moaning [18:20] hi all [18:20] how do I properly, permanently, uninstall kvm? I tried it out months ago, and it didn't work. Now, every time I boot up, "kvm" and "kvm_intel" uselessly load, and I need to rmmod them manually in order to use VirtualBox [18:20] jesaipa: Hello how are you today? [18:20] linuxguy2009: yeah I've actually tried k3b much more options than brasero [18:20] ishkur: you got several foreign sources, like backports of (!dapper) older ones in, that could be the problem; unless for a certain reason, on jaunty use standard for that [18:20] anybody know the usb<>serial module please ? [18:21] sebsebseb: I'm not moaning about anything, you can't effectively explain this absurdity except "lol go to distrowatch". What does it have to do with Mozilla? Nothing at all, except the package was compiled without official branding enabled. I understand this. It isn't difficult. [18:21] shaboo: no peroblem [18:21] linuxguy2009: what I'm looking for is simple, fast, interface audio cd to mp3 [18:21] ARMENIAN: Im an idoit I meant to say KDE not K3B. duh im lamer [18:21] DasEi1: so if i edit the backports out i should b ok? [18:21] meglo: heh maybe you should be happy your not running Debian which Ubuntu is based on, because then you get Iceweasel instead of Firefox, because of some sort of disagreement between Debian and Ubuntu. Iceweasel being based on Firefox [18:22] meglo: of course you could install the proper Firefox there directly from Mozilla, you can talk further about this stuff in #ubuntu-offtopic if you want [18:22] sebsebseb: And the same thing nearly happened with Ubuntu also until Canonical worked out a deal with Mozilla. [18:22] ARMENIAN: Well if you dont care about changing settings sound juicer will do it. Otherwise you have to go hunt the web for lines of gstreamer code to paste in.Sucks. [18:22] the Network Connections menu doesn't seem to support 64bit WEP encryption. Am I correct in this? If so, is it still possible to do so? [18:22] does anyone know how I could block access to a website thru iptables or if not iptables another probgam [18:22] linuxguy2009: :P [18:22] evonise`emp : how'd it go? [18:22] ishkur: As you don't seem to know about their existance, backup old sources list, and use the one comin' in a moment [18:22] meglo, buy you just don't seem to understand a reasoning behind this decision - if you did you wouldn't call it an "absurd" decision [18:22] I'm fine and you ? [18:22] linuxguy2009: any clue what it defaults to? [18:22] kklimonda: maybe we should take him to off topic like the ops wanted [18:22] NemesisUK, you can add the url to /etc/hosts and redirect it to localhost [18:22] NemesisUK, I would recommend a squid proxy [18:23] sebsebseb: This isn't off-topic and applies to Ubuntu. Official branding doesn't matter, just the Ubuntu-specific modifications that offer better integration. I wonder if that is offered by the universe package. [18:23] meglo: Please take this to #ubuntu-offtopic [18:23] will that work if the machine is a router [18:23] ishkur: (in trml) sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.listBackup [18:23] sebsebseb, there should be an #ubuntu-advocacy channel for that ;) [18:23] kklimonda: Link me to the SRU. [18:23] meglo: It is offtopic. This channel is for support only, #ubuntu-offtopic is for non-support ubuntu chatter. [18:23] ARMENIAN: Umm lets see here...audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2 ! lame name=enc mode=0 vbr-quality=6 ! id3v2mux umm [18:23] kklimonda: A lot of the things in GNOME's HIG is absurd, and I call it as such. [18:23] NemesisUK, yes [18:23] ARMENIAN: VBR quality 6? [18:23] NemesisUK, the /etc/hosts file is checked before a DNS query is sent out [18:24] meglo, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates [18:24] kklimonda: what were you trying to say? [18:24] linuxguy2009: lol, what bitrate what that be? [18:24] Flannel: I'll just straight up stop talking. These fellows wont follow me to an alternate channel for a proper discussion. Telling people to go to #ubuntu-offtopic is basically a "stfu" move in practice. [18:24] sebsebseb, that offtopic isn't really a channel for this kind of discussions ino [18:24] meglo: No, it's not. It's a "please let people get support in here" [18:24] ARMENIAN: See thats why I dont use sound juicer for anything but FLAC and then use sound converter to do all my encoding. [18:24] meglo: wrong I just joined #ubuntu-offtopic after telling you to join [18:24] linuxguy2009: and it's weird i have lame, bad, and ugly, and still don't get the option the profile is there and active but it doesnt show up when i want to choos ethe profiole for encoding [18:24] heya... small question, I'm quite unsure about this one: Is it normal for the current ubuntu to start up to run level 2 only? [18:25] Flannel: Sure, but lets take discussion of #ubuntu-offtopic to #ubuntu-offtopic shall we? [18:25] meglo: I'd love to. [18:25] sebsebseb, and maybe we need another channel for all those "why does ubuntu do it this way" discussions [18:25] ARMENIAN: have the bad multiverse and ugly multiverse as well? [18:25] kklimonda: It's #ubuntu-offtopic. Please go there now. [18:25] ARMENIAN: Restricted extras maybe too? [18:25] Flannel, sure [18:25] linuxguy2009: that i might not have [18:25] DasEi1: done [18:25] linuxguy2009: what's the multiverse anyway? [18:25] meglo: Waiting on you. [18:25] kklimonda: maybe, but really it's not that good to talk bad about Ubuntu in it's offical channels, even if only little things [18:26] ARMENIAN: Just stuff outside the normal repos I think. Or legal type stuff. [18:26] sebsebseb: That's entirely incorrect. [18:26] bizzare as Ive added them to the routers hosts file and it still getting the pages [18:26] hmm [18:26] Flannel: I said I'm just going to stop talking. This isn't worthwhile. But I'll put offtopic on autojoin because it looks like I'll be using it more often. [18:26] Flannel: well unless support or something, or what were you trying to say? [18:26] a little question: would sending shutdown signal when Totem is on break totem? [18:26] ishkur: it's really a wierd mixture you got there, you may consider backup other stuff from your sys too, lot's of dapper-sources in it [18:26] linuxguy2009: so could u tell me what i would need to do exactly to get the profile to work i mean my bad ugly and lame are all up to date it says [18:26] ARMENIAN: I think either multiverse or universe are stuff they cant legally distribute on the distro releases. [18:27] meglo: For the record, *everyone* you're discussing the mozilla thing with is in -offtopic now. But if you insist on being difficult, that's your perogative. [18:27] ok, time for a real question - how suitable is server kernel for desktops? [18:27] !dapper | ishkur [18:27] ishkur: Ubuntu 6.06 LTS (Dapper Drake) was the fourth release of Ubuntu. See !lts for more details. [18:27] ARMENIAN: Do you have the multiverse of each of those as well? Thats what you need. [18:27] kklimonda: You generally want to use the -desktop kernel, because you'll benefit from PREEMPT [18:27] !runlevel [18:27] Sorry, I don't know anything about runlevel [18:27] meh [18:27] I know what options are set differently in server kernel, I would like to know how they affect performance. for example preempt and config_hz [18:28] Flannel, I can't decide which is more important to me - PREEMPT and CONFIG_HZ or using whole 4GB of ram.. [18:28] kklimonda: Sometimes you'll notice the mouse lagging slightly due to the (lack of) preempt and stuff. [18:28] servus [18:28] ARMENIAN: You need to have Lame, gstreamer bad, gstreamer bad multiverse, gstreamer ugly, gstreamer ugly multiverse. Lots of apps use those. [18:28] kklimonda: Is 64bit not an option? [18:29] linuxguy2009: well i just checked and the soources are enabled [18:29] Flannel, I've used it for some time and imo it just creates new sources of problems [18:29] * trident523 can't see his SD card reader in ubuntu, it just dosen't show up as anything when a card is inserted. What should I do? [18:29] ARMENIAN: ok so go install em all. [18:29] linuxguy2009: now just i need to know the name of the gstreamer multiverse ugly package [18:30] ARMENIAN, try using aptitude search [18:30] ARMENIAN: just look for gstreamer bad or ugly the will be listed right by them cant miss em.

Is there any official Upstart documentation? All I can find on the wiki links me to this article: http://www.linux.com/archive/feature/125977 [18:39] When I hit a combination of keys, a window minimizes. Is there any way to say "just tell me who intercepts this keypress first" ?

[18:41] Thanks armenian [18:41] Faethin, oh how I love irc [18:41] bazhang, i find it a bit odd that kde3 isn't included .. [18:41] slayton: don't we all [18:41] DasEi1, that says nothing about Upstart, nor is it official documentation [18:41] maria: sure :) [18:41] slayton, wait, I am posting the english version [18:41] Emery, kde4 is the official as of now [18:41] Yeah, i see.. But I can't put well the subs [18:41] xD [18:41] DasEi1, but thanks anyway [18:41] maria: haven't tried that so let me know how it works out [18:41] hoban: got you in the wrong way, to a start up, upstart [18:42] here is my apt-get problem : http://pastebin.com/f6346698c [18:42] slayton: returning to my initial question, is there a way to remove the command from the sudo list? [18:42] ok ok.. armenian .. YOu know other program for edit video? [18:42] DasEi1, ah, no. I was referring to Ubuntu SysV init replacement, Upstart [18:42] rom1v: What are you trying to do exactly? [18:43] Faethin, its not that the command is on a list... in order to execute the command it must be run able by either user, group, or everybody... eject is runable by anybody so you don't need to be root to run eject... ohwever the permissions on your ipod are screwy so only root can unmount it [18:43] linuxguy2009, just using apt-get normally [18:43] hoban: understood, not to familiar with it, sry [18:43] !permissions | Faethin [18:43] Faethin: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [18:43] every time I apt-get something, I have this problem [18:43] slayton: thanks :D I'll have a read.

[18:45] I used Kino Amenian and this program are not good [18:45] (both with apt-get or aptitude) [18:45] how? [18:45] rom1v, did you pastebin the english error?

[19:06] can somebody tell me whats the big diff between the gui version and the server version of ubuntu? [19:06] antii: you do it? [19:06] sebsebseb: yarr [19:06] antii: good [19:06] silidan1: no, not that I've heard of at least [19:06] silidan: why dont you tyr google earth itself...wahts the prob [19:06] coz i intended to run proxy server in ubuntu desktop [19:06] silidan1: don't think so, but there is Google Earth for Linux as well [19:06] _adi_ [19:06] what would be the down side of it? [19:06] @lightbricko.....are you a nerd??? [19:06] of what [19:07] had problems getting google earth to work on linux [19:07] you know the things about closed source: they may be free now... but what in the future? [19:07] geboy: well first of all do you want to run some sort of server? [19:07] re [19:07] desiNerd: What do you mean? [19:07] geboy: and if so what kind of server exactly? [19:07] what was the problem installing google earth on linux [19:07] lightbricko: there is audacity for sound editing.. not sure how well it works for this though [19:07] @sebsebseb: squid [19:07] hi people, i must copy a big folder to my ubuntu from windows, is the other pc of my home, how can i do that quickly? [19:07] no there wasnt a problem [19:07] Slart: Thanks, I'll check it. [19:07] geboy: are you going to use the computer as just a server, or as a server, but also desktop usage? [19:08] tickling the funny bone....btw you can try audacity ...its a good option though [19:08] i enebled the guest access on a shared folder on my ubuntu, how can i open it from windows? [19:08] @sebsebseb: just as a server, but i don't like looking at the command line x) [19:09] geboy: well then maybe you need to learn the command line a tiny bit [19:09] darkhamm: this is a windows related question i guess [19:09] sebsebseb: its fine [19:09] down loaded from web; but seems to be no connection; do I need to use command line [19:09] geboy: ,but then you want the Ubuntu 8.04.2 server version, yes the LTS [19:09] geboy: LTS is recommended for proper servers, since 5 years of support [19:09] geboy: 3 for desktop LTS [19:09] !lts | geboy [19:09] geboy: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Hardy (Hardy Heron 8.04) [19:09] @sebsebseb: ic [19:10] i'm usually using the server as the base of my squid [19:10] until recently i'm having some thought of trying using desktop [19:10] geboy: you can run a server in the desktop version as well [19:10] sebsebseb: btw, it will run on vm tho [19:11] geboy: the server is going to run in a vm? [19:11] sebsebseb: yup [19:11] geboy: what's the host OS? [19:11] sebsebseb: xp [19:11] oh dear [19:11] ouch [19:11] no :( [19:11] hi. is it possible to display ctime in nautilus list mode? somehow this is missing in my view->visible columns :\ [19:11] oh dear oh why? [19:11] tellme [19:11] :( [19:11] geboy: Windows as host = bad, unless your a newbie to Linux and just going to do some testing of it, before doing a proper partitioned install [19:12] and the downside? [19:12] Unstable, unfree [19:12] etc :) [19:12] geboy: which virtual machine program? [19:12] vmware [19:12] windows server is stable. [19:12] its better to try out things in vm before doing a partitioned install.... [19:13] What's the term for the things which are Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, etc.? "variant"? "flavor"? "edition"? [19:13] i thing vmware is the best option [19:13] dunks__: are you trolling in here now? :D [19:13] No, are you? [19:13] :D [19:13] dunks__: i dont know many windows server which dont have a scheduled nightly reboot... [19:13] sry internet connection was away [19:13] Well then you must have a pretty poorly setup production enviroment nibbler__ [19:13] geboy: which vmware product? VMware server? workstation? [19:13] desiNerd: the thing is, this squid server is not taking much resources [19:13] they alll differ on the the desktop manager... [19:13] You do have one yes? [19:13] workstation 6 [19:13] ok [19:13] okay im in text mode, problem was that somehow it was complaning that my home directory was listed as home/sjoerd but didnt exist anymore now i navigated to my home directory and i see that the sjoerd dir is still there? [19:14] dunks__: simple setups at various costumers [19:14] ubuntu: gonme , kubuntu: kde xubuntu: xfce etc [19:14] nibbler__: Hehe, Nibbleeer! :) [19:14] geboy: well Linux tends to win when it comes to the proper OS technical stuff, hence why most of the Internet is run by Linux distros :) ,but also why most super computers run it [19:14] Maybe you should re-evaluate how they're setup then if you have schedueled nightly reboots [19:14] yes ,,,absolutely right [19:14] Does anybody know of an NFS server that supports "map_static" in /etc/exports? [19:14] Anyway, this is offtopic [19:14] nfs-kernel-server complains about "unknown keyword" and unfsd just says "syntax error" :-( [19:14] k [19:15] sebsebseb: actually i have run this squid server for a year in its own box [19:15] geboy: with Windows well, you might think your secure enough, but really your not or whatever. yeah viruses and so on. Windows XP is a lot more likely to crash than Ubuntu as well [19:15] sebsebseb: and see that its a waste of resource, coz it only utilizes the pc below 50% [19:16] how do i move a directory or redfine the file path? [19:16] dunks__: its mainly affecting terminal/citrix servers, its common practice... its not that the server crashes, its that printers stop working etc.... it happens on simple installations.... nightly reboot is ofc not needed nightly, but you never know when something gets stuck.... [19:16] anyone? [19:16] but this is an ubuntu channel, so sorry for offtopic chat :) [19:16] anyone any idea about how to display ctime in nautilus? [19:16] geboy: well do what you want, but a lot of people that know computers pretty well woudn't recommend Windows as a host OS [19:17] ls -l /home/Sjoerd [19:17] Or ls -l /home/sjoerd [19:17] Pickenzak: it gives total 16 [19:17] then its there [19:17] sebsebseb:thanks alot, seb. now i need some kind of enlightment. i wanna try using squid in ubuntu desktop. ad see the performance [19:18] afterall its only a home network [19:18] SjoerdM_: whats the problem... [19:18] less then 10 pcs to serve [19:18] :D [19:18] geboy: don't know since not used it [19:18] Pickenzak: i will reboot and type the message exactly [19:18] ok [19:18] Hey guys, someone Xdmx running? got segfault straightaway] [19:19] SjoerdM_, Are you sure user homedir is /home/sjoerd ? Try: echo ~ and: ls -l ~ [19:19] hello? [19:19] hey, I keep experiencing fairly regular freezes on Firefox where it takes up 100% of my CPU and stops responding for a few seconds. This happens every minute or so. Does anybody know how to fix it? [19:19] I upgraded from ext3 to ext4 and now I'm having problems with grub [19:20] (just because I didn't read all those advices about ext4 and grub...) [19:20] Mr_Giraffe: flash issue [19:20] Mr_Giraffe: ask the firefox folks [19:20] I've accidentally broken grub, and can't find how to reinstall it. find /boot/grub/stage1 inside grub can't find file [19:20] "your home directory is listed as:' /home/sjoerd' but it does not appear to exist. Do you want to login in with the / (root) directory as your homedirecotory? It is unlikeliy anything will work unless you use a failsafe session [19:20] Pickenzak: thats the error [19:20] Pickenzak, I don't even have flash up right now [19:20] SjoerdM_: bad permissions on it [19:20] otherwise npviewer.bin would be using the CPU, right? [19:21] Mr_Giraffe: any addon could be [19:21] Mr_Giraffe: any addon could b [19:21] Mr_Giraffe: what page ? [19:21] well then, i read that desktop and server having different kernel setup. whats the diffrent? [19:21] Pickenzak, any page will cause it at any time [19:21] Pickenzak: which permissions should it have? i already tried chmod 644 [19:21] geboy: ah yes the server version is meant to have a kernel version which is better for servers [19:21] it happens once a minute, freezes for about 2-3 seconds, then stops [19:21] and everything is back to normal [19:22] SjoerdM_: drwx------ [19:23] Mr_Giraffe: what dist, or windows ? [19:23] I recently had some problems with Ubuntu, repaired them but now the login screen sais it can't find theme.xml. In adition, I can't change add any themes. Now I don't have one [19:24] Pickenzak, 8.10 [19:24] Pickenzak: is that chmod 777 ? [19:24] Mr_Giraffe: 9.latest is much cooler [19:24] uh 755 sry [19:24] Mr_Giraffe: upgrade [19:24] Pickenzak, I use this laptop for work, I don't have time to just upgrade [19:25] I need to bulk rename files and compare doubles any suggestions [19:25] and frankly I've heard enough about bugs from 9.x that I'm going to hold off on that [19:25] I see meld, but I am mainly in in kde environment [19:25] hi every body [19:25] SjoerdM_: i think so, yes [19:25] cjae, /bin/ls *.old | while read i; do mv -i "$i" "`echo $i | sed -e 's/new/old/'`"; done [19:26] cjae: sed and awk are your friends :) ^^ [19:26] awk.... [19:26] SjoerdM_: its '0755' [19:26] I recently had some problems with Ubuntu, repaired them but now the login screen sais it can't find theme.xml. In adition, I can't change add any themes. Now I don't have one [19:26] Pickenzak: don't parse the otuput of ls [19:26] I couldn't understand the difference between the 4 types of repositroies in the ubuntu diestribution (( main ... restrictions ... universe ... multiverse)) [19:27] Can any one help me ?? [19:27] Pickenzak: ty just editted it but it still gives the error... [19:27] Pickenzak: for i in *.old; do mv -i "$i" "$(echo $i | sed 's/new/old')"; done [19:27] so so much better [19:27] @moham...yeh whats the prob [19:27] bruenig, That fails on files with spaces [19:27] PapaChub: it certainly does not [19:27] SjoerdM_: could be that the files .bashrc and so on doesnt have the right permissions [19:27] PapaChub: *.old is bash globbing, bash internall knows how to field separate its own globs [19:27] internally* [19:28] very oftion...... [19:28] it is when you pipe external apps into bash that the separation messes up [19:28] hence why you don't mess with ls [19:28] Pickenzak: could be, dont know it [19:28] Any one can help ?? I couldn't understand the difference between the 4 types of repositroies in the ubuntu diestribution (( main ... restrictions ... universe ... multiverse)) [19:28] :( [19:28] sjoerd__: ls -la | grep bash [19:28] text based twitter client anyone? :D [19:28] bruenig, That's why to use "while read i" instead; each file is on its own line [19:29] that is, aside from using curl [19:29] -rw-r--r--+ 1 MyUser MyUser 124 29 feb 2008 .bashrc [19:29] PapaChub: *.old is just better, it doesn't require external apps nor the while read hackaround [19:29] mohammed510: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu [19:29] just saying [19:29] do what you want [19:29] @mohammed510.....it depends on the type of tooll.....everything cannt be put under a single repo [19:29] Hi all! Yesterday I installed a 9.04 on a HP Pavilion zv5000 and had problems with the wireless driver (broadcom b43). It wasnt shown in the drivers list. I downloaded one through wired connection (i havent this option right now, typing from another computer). Now I have the b43 driver installed and activated and i have also a "software modem" in that list (cant activate it.) BUT I still cant connect to any wireless networ [19:30] -rw------ 1 root root 1110 Jul 6 20:25 .bash_history and -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 227 Dec 23 2008 .bashrc [19:30] Pickenzak: is that okay? [19:30] @tomi -- what are the probs your are facing [19:30] at what step your are getting stuck...when u t r trying to connect to the network [19:31] seem so [19:31] bruenig, On recent distros, perhaps... I've been burned WAY too many times in the past by "#!/bin/sh" Bourne-shell scripts, I suppose [19:31] SjoerdM_: No, i dont think so... what caused it ? [19:31] for what [19:31] CloudCarrier: Restricted - Supported software that is not available under a completely free license [19:31] -rw-r--r--+ [19:31] desinerd: even if I have the b43 driver installed I cant connect to wireless network [19:31] have you configureed things properly [19:32] SjoerdM_. where you on irc too long to get craxxored ? [19:32] in your b43 driver [19:32] CloudCarrier: Does this means that it is not completely free of charge? or does it mean that it is not completely open source?? [19:32] yes, the computer cant find any network [19:32] PapaChub: well, I am only talking about bash, I am not sure if this works for sh. Nonetheless, this has been standard bash behavior for a good 5-6 years at least [19:32] bruenig, Which is why I also explicitly type "/bin/ls" to ensure I don't get any fancy "-F" or color codes, etc. [19:32] @mohammed ...its the 2nd one...not completely open source [19:32] can any one help with grub ? [19:32] after install i have to configure it? oops. [19:32] Pickenzak: internet connection lost... [19:33] @darkmind,,,,whats the prob....dont ask to ask..jsut ask [19:33] SjoerdM: righty [19:33] Pickenzak: any ideas how to fix it? [19:33] i installed kubuntu after f11 and win7 [19:33] and now i can boot only ubuntu and win7 [19:33] and no entry for f11 [19:33] desiNerd: Is this like the packages for mp3 ?? [19:33] @tomi...yes ....you have to make sure all your network parameters are set properly...then only you can connet to the network..else not [19:33] i want to boot it has my imp data and backups [19:34] @mohammed...yeh...some decoders are not free. so you have to get the non-free extras [19:34] @darkmind...u r not clear [19:35] desinerd: r u talking about configuring the network connection or configuring the driver? as i cant see any network the first one - if i understand u well - is not possible i think [19:35] I need both libldb and libmapi to compile the latest evolution, but using apt-get to install one, removes the other... is there a way I can install both? [19:35] desiNerd : Now , I can understand , but I want to know why it can't be free as the most other packages in the cd , Specially the mp3 decoders? [19:35] I recently had some problems with Ubuntu, repaired them but now the login screen sais it can't find theme.xml. In adition, I can't change add any themes. Now I don't have one [19:35] hello [19:35] look i got f11 and win7 installed on my lappy having 2hds 250 gb each okie .. now i installed ubuntu based bt4 os and after instalation i cannot boot any more f11 !!! [19:35] brailsmt: is there a ppa for the latest evolution? [19:36] can someone point me to an alternative to lpr for printing a pdf from command-line? lpr will print text documents, but it won't print any PDFs here [19:36] Paddy_NI: i have no idea... [19:36] SjoerdM: chmod 640 /home/.bashrc (or 644, not sure) [19:36] I also think you may need a more recent gnome in order for that to work [19:36] brailsmt: ^ [19:36] so that would be a bit of a difficult undertaking [19:37] i've been compiling the thing from scratch, but it doesn't like compiling evolution-mapi [19:37] Paddy_NI: You mean a 'TTA' [19:37] Time to arrival [19:37] !ppa [19:37] With Launchpad's Personal Package Archives (PPA), you can build and publish binary Ubuntu packages for multiple architectures simply by uploading an Ubuntu source package to Launchpad. See https://help.launchpad.net/PPAQuickStart. [19:37] bruenig, Ahh, the reason I've become accustomed to "/bin/ls | while read i;..." is when using find(1). "find . -name '*.old' | while read i" works better than "for i in `find . -name '*.old'`" [19:37] i have no entry in boot for my f11 after installation of ubuntu .. how can i boot it now it has my all data ! [19:37] LOL! [19:37] You're right that for simple cases, "for i in *" does suffice.

[19:57] coz_, ty [19:57] Titan8990: so that could be the problem [19:57] SjoerdM___, shard how? [19:57] SjoerdM___, webdav? [19:57] Titan8990: what do you mean? [19:57] with winamp, a playlist/library is only updated on request....with banshee and rythmbox it seems to need an update each reboot which takes time....is there a simpler program? [19:57] I'm trying to install 9.04 on an old Toshiba laptop (xp era centrino). I select to boot from CD and have a working copy in the drive. It spins for around 45 sec then boots back to XP without showing installation menu [19:57] SjoerdM___, when you say that you shared you home directory, what did you actually do? [19:58] @desinerd the b43 again. did u mean i have to configure the network connection or something with the driver?

[20:01] akos_: I don't know about that, but there is a PA volume control app that you can install [20:02] DarkMind, probably need install lvm [20:02] how i can i install it [20:02] ? [20:02] on dapper drake, what's the default dhcp client? [20:02] my bro is having network problems [20:02] DarkMind, i saw earlier, your trying to mount the physical partition [20:02] DarkMind, you can't do that [20:02] yess and i failed [20:02] I'm looking for a way to know in which package an installed binary comes from, and can't get Google to answer me. anybody? [20:02] padevcontrol [20:02] DarkMind, you have to mount the logical parition: eg - /dev/vg/usr [20:02] it gives error root@smoke:/home/dark# sudo mount /dev/sda2 /home/dark/recover [20:02] mount: unknown filesystem type 'LVM2_member' [20:02] re. Can anyone please help with the following: [20:02] hi! how can I "unmount" a special usb device, which seems to be at /dev/ttyUSB0, and cannot be unmounted, because it dont need to be mounted at all? It's a microcontroller programming unit, and I'd like to have acces to it via a virtualboxed XP. That's why [host] ubuntu has to release it... [20:03] thats because that a physical partition [20:03] DarkMind, you need to mount one of its volumes [20:03] Titan8990, : so now what u think i should do [20:03] ? [20:03] so... I used to compile stuff on my ubuntu 8.10 and run it on another machine (red-hat kernel 2.6.9), now I upgraded to 9.04 and I can't run my code anymore on that machine, I get FATAL: kernel too old wth is that? [20:03] ratkymarcell: /dev/ttyUSB0 is a serial device/port like /dev/ttyS0 [20:03] danbhfive, Pickenzak : thanks [20:03] ronj: there is a dpkg command, something like dpkg -S [20:03] what's the default dhcp client on Dapper Drake? [20:03] DarkMind, mount the volume you need to mount?? [20:03] Titan8990: if i click yes (login with /) i get the message User's $HOME/.dmrc file is being ignored. This prevents the default session and language from being saved. File should be owned by user and have 644 permisions. User's $HOME directory must be owned by user and not writable by other users [20:03] or daemon* [20:03] akos_: np [20:04] df [20:04] Titan8990, : i tried but how can i mount that logical volume === sean is now known as Guest60932 [20:04] ? [20:04] jadew: exactly what it tells you, the kernel is to old [20:04] ratkymarcell: you do not "mount" it you access it with some special program or a generic serial client like minicom [20:04] SjoerdM___, chown -R sjoerd:sjoerd /home/sjoerd [20:04] well, what's the problem what got changed, how can I fix that? === Spec[x] is now known as Spec [20:04] DarkMind, sudo mount /dev/vg/NAMEHERE /mnt/mountpoint [20:04] DarkMind, I don't know how you set up the volumes [20:04] hi all , can i know what is my ram type ( DDR1 , DDR2 ) from ubunto without any hardware solutions like see the ram ?? [20:05] erUSUL, okay, but Ubuntu somohow holds it. So, the xp in virtualbox cannot acces this device. [20:05] jadew: I suppose you mean new binaries compiled under 9.04 can't be run on the redhat? [20:05] i've asked questions today before about my problem on installing ubuntu on my Acer Aspire 1310 laptop. the problem is that it keeps freezing while installing. i tried a drive fitness test, the ubuntu memtest, the cd check, the alternate install cd, but my problem stays there. what can i do? [20:05] EgyCoder09: i believe there's a way to dump your bios information [20:05] tonii: yeah [20:05] EgyCoder09, easiest to just look at the speed in the BIOS [20:05] they used to work when I compiled them on 8.10 [20:05] EgyCoder09, lshw might tell though [20:05] EgyCoder09: dmidecode [20:05] Titan8990, : i didnot i had it because i had f11 before and i installed kubuntu and after that i had no entry for boot of f11 !!! [20:05] ratkymarcell: i do not use Vbox i dunno if you can share host's serial devices with the guest OS ask in #vbox [20:05] EgyCoder09: yeah, dmidecode will tell you [20:06] jadew: upgrade kernel in redhat. if there is no way to compile for older kernels. [20:06] just double checked [20:06] evonise`emp: you probably should file a bug report on launchpad [20:06] danbhfive, that's exactly what I needed. thanks! [20:06] DarkMind, run: sudo vgscan [20:07] Titan8990: hm still nothing [20:07] Titan8990, : The program 'vgscan' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: [20:07] apt-get install lvm2 [20:07] bash: vgscan: command not found [20:07] I can't upgrade that kernel with out like... a week of useless work. This lack of backward compatibility is completely retarded. Linux. [20:07] SjoerdM___, just make a new user and move all the contents from the home folder, then stay away from crappy MS protocols and ACLs [20:07] Titan8990, : am installing lvm2 now ! [20:07] ratkymarcell: google is your friend http://techtooltip.wordpress.com/2008/09/12/using-host-serial-port-from-guest-in-virtual-box/ [20:07] DarkMind, k [20:08] jadew: don't know much about compiling, but there probably is a way to compile the code for older kernels. [20:08] tonii: yeah, I'll ask the glibc guys, I have a feeling that it's their fault [20:08] Titan8990: will all software still work that i installed? [20:09] SjoerdM___, yes everything should be the same only with a different username [20:09] Titan8990, : root@smoke:/home/dark# vgscan [20:09] Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while...

[20:09] my x server keeps on freezing. is ther any way to check a log to see what causing this? [20:09] SjoerdM___, you will need to fix perms after you copy the data [20:09] jadew: sounds like a good idea. :) [20:09] (Repeat) I have an issue with an NFS share under Ubuntu 9.04 64 bit - The NFS share is being exported fine, and mounting corrrectly.

Never really tried it [20:50] gilles: yes it is great but i dont like to deviate too much from ubuntu stuff [20:50] gilles: Opera is meant to be the most fastest browser, also it does a great job at following web standards, just like Firefox, and Chomre, and so on, pretty much everything except that Internet Explorer disaster [20:50] gilles: that was Chrome above [20:51] indus: Yeah sorry for going offtopic [20:51] I am having trouble getting my wireless working.

[21:05] Ruby: that sounds like a bios issue to me [21:06] cabrey: iwconfig shows me the interface in monitor mode [21:06] if its booting from the wrong drive [21:06] Hilikus: ufw ? shorewall ? firehol ? [21:06] Yeah it also thinks it has a floppy drive so yeah [21:06] erUSUL: I prefer iptables cli [21:06] scottj: backup /etc/resolv.conf to /etc/resolv.conf.bnup; use your favorite editor to remove all contrent from /etc/resolv.conf and insert the line nameserver 127.0.0.1 === john is now known as Guest97474 [21:06] erUSUL: i'm looking into ufw, which one do you like better?

[21:06] Let me think [21:06] Ruby: double check the bios settings, and see if there is a bios update fgor your motherboard [21:06] Hilikus, ufw is an interface to iptables [21:06] cabrey: yes it appears using the iwconfig [21:06] Ruby: bios' are kinda funny about floppies (and their (non)existence) [21:06] bzrk sorry for being a noob but i don't know how to do that [21:06] Hilikus, sort of a manager, if you will [21:07] makaraki, wasn't that your question? [21:07] scottj: then first go find an editor you like [21:07] cabrey: thats what i read, thanks [21:07] bzrk like gedit [21:07] yes [21:07] scottj: you need to edit the file as root [21:07] scottj: so use sudo [21:08] cabrey: well I remember that long time ago I was trying to use the airpack and such stuff and I think I did a big mess with all settings and dirvers [21:08] rom1v: If you have no nvidia device on the system then "sudo apt-get purge nvidia-common" is definitely a good first step to correcting the problem. If apt-get doesn't want to do that you could use "sudo dpkg --purge nvidia-common". [21:08] bzrk sudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf? that brings up the conf file, but how to back it up?

[21:33] yes [21:33] uhuru2: not really giving us any info to work from [21:34] is there a verbose error or debug trace? [21:34] hello [21:34] uhuru2: do you get any errors? [21:34] i cannot open pidgin , it flashes out [21:34] <_UsUrPeR_> Tenkawa: the driver I am using is apt-getable. the package is xserver-xorg-input-elographics [21:35] _UsUrPeR_: ahhh [21:35] I'm trying to set up a ipv6 tunnel, but ufw makes it get 100% packet loss [21:35] any idea on how to solve it? disabling ufw makes it work [21:35] what is the channel for crossover games [21:35] support [21:35] <_UsUrPeR_> I am referencing this with an xorg.conf (it has some calibration that must be done), but it's just not picking up the input [21:35] _UsUrPeR_: very odd [21:35] <_UsUrPeR_> indeed [21:36] * _UsUrPeR_ puts on his manacle [21:36] <_UsUrPeR_> flpxj s/manacle/monocle [21:36] ss [21:36] under what circumstances should i not accept an automatic update?

[21:38] Oh god [21:38] this might be [21:38] hi [21:38] "interesting" [21:38] i got a quesiton about ubuntu [21:38] I have a machine which goes to dark screen after a given user logs in but can't see errors. I can ssh in. What log do I need to see what is wrong ? [21:38] I have no sound i have the crappy PPC version but thats all i have for my machine is there a way to scan and fix your sound? [21:39] hipitihop, dark for every user, or one user? [21:39] I wanted to remove all the data in /tmp due to lack of space. So I do sudo rm * -r, and it starts deleting all the files [21:39] Then I realise I was in / [21:39] eeeek [21:39] any ufw guru in here? [21:39] Hi... i have a netbook running at 1024x600... is it possible to run VNC at a higher resolution on a host computer (e.g. a desktop at 1440x900)... [21:39] chazco: should be able to [21:39] ubuntu__: I think Ubuntu itself should have stopped you [21:40] Nameless_au, how would i know that i had a conflict with 'other repositiories' -- i don't even have a clear idea of 'repository' [21:40] Flare183: No I use Debian, I'm just on Ubuntu live CD ATM [21:40] Ktron: that's a little involved but I think in short, just the one [21:40] ubuntu__: Ahh ok [21:40] Tenkawa - Any idea how? Most of the VNC servers only seem to provide the clients resolution... [21:41] chazco: hmm.. I thought there was a toggle for it but its been a while [21:41] @ chazco: Maybe if your grapghics card is configured to be able to you might [21:41] ditty_kong - Afaik the maximum the netbook GPU can offer is 1024x600 [21:41] hipitihop, if its just the one, I'd look in that users home directory (verify they have one) for files like .xinitrc and see if they have something bizarre configured [21:42] Tenkawa - You can choose "Scale" on the client but that just stretches it, doesnt actually run at the chosen resolution [21:42] ahh [21:42] true [21:42] thats what I was thinking about [21:42] hello [21:42] anyone can help me? [21:43] hi all - I reeeally need some help here.

[22:02] nanotube: thanks [22:02] jjg76: Did you have audio before? [22:02] you mean you get like blurry view, cause if that the case it might be your resolution i know weird however i can achieve higher res but that is after i mess with me cable... still what do you mean by corrupt? [22:02] I've got 2 maudio delta 1010 soundmodules, but none of the 20 outputs give any audio [22:02] Pirate_Hunter, seems to have been caused by an update from a few days ago [22:02] hipitihop, hm, if its only for this one user, than it must be some configuration setting of this user [22:02] I had audio with 8.10 x64 [22:03] Just right away [22:03] hipitihop, so its got to be one of the files in there... are you using Gnome?

[22:10] tanath, i dont know what the update did for you it could be xorg or you graphic driver that got messed up im just trying stuff. youve stopped all composite so its not that now redoing xorg manually might help (even if it is a pain) than it could just be a case of reinstalling the drivers for your card which i dont want to get into === someone is now known as Guest12822 === Guest12822 is now known as someonelse [22:11] I've changed my view in firefox from basic to no style and can't change it back\ [22:11] now all those people dosnt have any other subject only wthat my q was.... [22:11] mohammed510: a virtual package more or less points/lists to actual packages [22:11] hello, how do i make a bin or run file executable in xfce? i right click it and go into preferences, but there are no option to make it executable like in gnome [22:11] Pirate_Hunter, actually, i had a manual xorg config for the longest time, but i noticed the custom stuff had been commented out, and i was using automatic already anyway [22:11] nicklas_: can always do it from the terminal [22:11] like, ubuntu-restricted-extras is a virtual package, as it's more than just one thing [22:11] Pirate_Hunter, commented out by HAL [22:11] dunks__: some thing like aliase ?? [22:12] there will someday be a programming language called eagle [22:12] dunks__: ubuntu-restricted-extras is a metapackage. that's not the same thing as a virtual package. [22:12] mohammed510: it's a package that only draws in dependancies but doesn't really have any capabilities of it's own [22:12] Pirate_Hunter, i've tried reinstalling lots of potentially relevant packages, including drivers [22:12] badeagle: i know of one named falcon ;P [22:12] I've tried reinstalling firefox, reload the page and stuff like that, but notings working [22:12] derenrich, and how do i do that? [22:12] jjg76: try purging firefox and reinstalling? [22:13] nicklas_: chmod +x [22:13] bucky: Is there any link that I have to follow to know more ? [22:13] I tried reinstalling with synaptic [22:13] jjg76: in your home folder, there is a hidden folder .mozilla , if you close firefox. delete that folder, then restart firefox, you should be back to defaults.

[22:15] Another thing, my soundcard's arrent working [22:15] Pirate_Hunter, well it's rather annoying to me. i often have difficulty reading text. and i was trying to work in terminal but couldn't read anything, and repainting only made it worse [22:16] rww: Now, I can understand [22:16] mohammed510: maybe i got that mixed up with meta package [22:16] mhm [22:16] 9.04 seems to reconise them, but none of my (no kidding) 20 outputs give a sound [22:16] bucky , rww : Thanks very much now I really understand [22:16] Ktron: no other ideas ? I'm wondering about in the home dir but nothing stands out [22:16] mohammed510: if you google virtual package it's the first hit [22:16] derenrich, ty [22:16] With 8.10 it worked wright away [22:17] Pirate_Hunter, i reinstalled compiz packages, my vid driver package, and some other things i forget [22:17] derenrich, didnt use sudo but it worked anyway, does that matter? [22:17] nicklas_: shouldn't need sudo [22:17] k [22:17] Hello, I have a problem with Nautilus. Cannot access trash, sftp, network etc... it seems I have a problem with glib and gvfs not being in the same location, but don't know how to solve this issue [22:17] Hi! My Ubuntu now tries to install libpurple-bin for 10 mins. What went wrong? [22:17] Anyone know why my lo interface isn't coming up at boot anymore? I have to `ifconfig lo up` it manually. Sure, I can put it in a bootscript, but I'd like to figure out what happened [22:17] Any advice with this soundcard problem? [22:18] is there a 'network login' option in ubuntu like there is in windows [22:18] Pirate_Hunter, i just learned something interesting [22:18] Pirate_Hunter, you mentioned yours only did it on coming back from other ttys... [22:19] Pirate_Hunter, well, i just tried my other ttys and they're all corrupted, and unsuable. with the bottom of the screen showing what X was displaying there... [22:19] MK13: not sure what you mean, but if you are asking if it is possible to setup a thin client or have the users home dir mounted on a remote file system then yes to all above [22:19] Pirate_Hunter, and X is now on tty 9 instead of 7 like it used to be [22:19] Pirate_Hunter, also, display was fine when i switched back, but is slowly glitching up now [22:20] <[ROSedu]AlexJ> hello === funkeh is now known as funkyHat [22:20] <[ROSedu]AlexJ> is there anyway to execute a command as if i was inside the GUI while i am a CLI over ssh [22:20] any soundcard tips [22:20] hipitihop, well like in windows a server can be setup then when you logon to any of the computers on the network you can use your login without each computer needing to have you added on each one [22:20] p [22:21] No audio with 2 maudio delta 1010 soundcarts [22:21] I am having trouble getting my wireless working.

[22:22] nope, ext3 [22:23] x2b: i get the same error but afaics is harmless everything works fine [22:23] tanath, you did a lot which may not have been needed, tty 9 (hmm weird i thought it is on 7 by default, something new) it sounds to me the latest update messed either with your xorg or driver. The way i would approah this would be by removing graphics and backing up xorg, stop all composite including conky and run on basic graphics 800*600 by default. graphic driver installed first (tested) and so on [22:24] tanath, i dont know how to help you except like that you may ask again to see if soemoen knows an easier way I do stuff manually and never let ubuntu configure stuff for me [22:24] well, a critical error during boot shouldnt be harmless should it?

[22:32] or u mean a legacy driver?? [22:32] @Guest26991: I have never had nvida cards, so can't say more. All I know, is that 180-driver didn't work as expected for Robbie on Category5.tv, and he used 173 I think. [22:33] ah ok... [22:33] tanath, that res is for testing purpose still i wonder if the same problem would occur if you were using a different wm like icewm or flux... [22:33] i'll give it a try..

[22:39] vbox ?? ok.. i will download it.. I knew there was a way, but couldnt figure it out on my own. [22:39] kernel: [17166.741088] usb 3-1: config 1 has an invalid descriptor of length 26, skipping remainder of the config <-- mean anything to anyone? [22:39] linuxguy, thanks for the link [22:39] welcome [22:40] Pirate_Hunter, compiz wasn't running - it doesn't. i switch between them with fusion-icon [22:40] reporterdude: There is the open source version in the repos and there is the other one at virtualbox.org.I recomend the later because it has USB support. [22:40] Hilikus: it looks like iptables syntax, and ufw passes stuff around a bit [22:41] WindowsUser: it is iptables. are you familiar with ufw? [22:41] nope :) [22:42] Well i guess Ill go back and try to get my USB headset to work with gtkrecordmydesktop again.Looks like the only complicated solution.hehe [22:42] tanath, ok no clue about that just checked online, if you dont get glitching if other wms you can use those for now it you get gnome working try searching the form for your problem [22:43] i'm currently installing ubuntu server. if i set up / on an lvm + raid1 logical volume, can grub boot it?

[22:45] yeah fix your keyboard [22:45] KDE4000: it should have an example like "0 0 * * * root reboot " ^_^ [22:45] joejc: try unplugging and plugging the keyboard back in? [22:45] its wireless [22:45] Hi guys, really quick question. Did ubuntu release a bunch of updates around 2 hours ago, or does autoupdate on ubuntu set to update at around that time? [22:45] blue tack on the shift key? [22:46] joejc: You can pop the key off with a knife or a screwdriver, just squeeze it under the key and pry it off... check if there's anything sticking... [22:46] @maccam94: That should work, depending a little on if you run hardware-RAID or software-RAID, and in which order you do it. That's all I know about it. Have set up LVM, but not RAID, so ask again for more info on what is best and in which order. [22:46] daveyc: i believe update checks are scheduled by your computer [22:46] daveyc: the apt-get update from cron is once a day [22:46] Hi folks! [22:46] OttifantSir: i'm just using software raid and lvm through the 9.04 installer. [22:46] joejc - weird idea I know, but try bashing the left and right shift keys alternately for a sec - I had a wireless keyb that sometimes did that in windblowz and that seemed to fix it [22:46] @windowsuser don't suppose you know the default time it checks do you? [22:46] joejc: is it caps lock in a terminal (Ctrl-Alt-F1 to check, type in stuff, is it caps?, Ctrl-Alt-F7 to switch pack) [22:47] I want to upgrade from Gutsy to Hardy, but I can't install update-manager-core [22:47] here is the error: http://pastie.org/536289 [22:47] @maccam94: I seem to remember that hardware RAID is preferable in that situation, but not certain. [22:47] NOPE [22:47] sorry [22:48] i just installed virtualbox on ubuntu 9.04. where would i find it now ?? [22:48] ok - I'm now offering to mail 1 packet of jammy dodgers and 1 packet of custard creames to anyone who even has a go at fixing my printing issue. [22:48] reporterdude, when you restart, alternatively hit alt f2 and type VirtualBox [22:48] OttifantSir: i've made a single partition on each of the two hard drives, taking up the whole drive. then i used the installer to create a raid1 array using those two partitions, and then made that array into a volume group [22:48] thank you [22:48] joejc: try popping off the key. [22:48] @maccam94: Try going to this link. I haven't read it, it was the top of google-search [22:48] is it possible to shift lock? === WelshDragon is now known as YDdraigGoch [22:49] OttifantSir: you didn't paste the link [22:49] @m94 ooooopppsss... forgot the link: http://www.gnu.org/software/parted/manual/html_chapter/parted_7.html [22:49] What's the difference between ifconfig and ip?

[22:52] So for example the user "joeuser" could also just log in as "joe"? [22:52] joejc, yes I am sure. But the last time I patched the kernel, now the patches have been disabled.

[23:17] owner_, Okay, then reboot and see if it works. [23:17] but i not yet restart [23:17] i must restart first? [23:17] its still renaming itsself back [23:17] oke.. [23:17] i try.. [23:17] so if i download driwers frome amd site would be ok? [23:17] owner_, well.. wait [23:17] i i`ll back [23:18] hostname="myhostname.mydomain.com" [23:18] owner_, We could probably just reload the module [23:18] reboot it, and its back [23:18] in /etc/hostname [23:18] owner_, sec [23:18] owner_, pastebin the output of iwconfig [23:18] oh well, he's gone [23:19] /wc [23:19] @AHADIEL: Sorry bout that. I know you could have probably used modprobe and such, but to me, it seemed easier to check with a reboot [23:19] what is the difference between "mv" and "cp" ? [23:20] OttifantSir, meh [23:20] I have a question about the command locate [23:21] @CleanLaundry: mv = move the files and delete them from source. cp = copy the files to destination and keep them in source directory [23:21] mohammed510, What's the question? [23:21] OttifantSir, great thanks [23:21] Ahadiel : It doesn't search in the mounted partitions [23:21] mohammed510, have you run updatedb? [23:21] Ahadiel : yes [23:22] mohammed510, hrm [23:23] Ahadiel : I have a mounted partition it's label is VBOX [23:23] I am having problems with the workspace switcher in xfce. Does anyone know of another software package that could give me multiple desktops in xfce? [23:23] mohammed510, what filesystem is it? [23:23] Ahadiel: When I make ... locate VBOX .... The result is no thing [23:24] Ahadiel : They filesystem is vfat [23:24] I have an file which I need to ensure has been copied correctly, does ubuntu perform error checking when copying files to ensure every bit is sent correctly and then check the new location for integrity of the copied data [23:24] mohammed510, where is "VBOX" mounted? ie. /media/disk [23:25] Ahadiel : It is mounted in /media/VBOX [23:25] mohammed510, hrm [23:25] Ahadiel: What doesn hrm means? [23:25] hi [23:25] mohammed510, Can you pastebin your /etc/updatedb.conf? [23:25] Ahadiel Ok [23:26] hhmm [23:26] Ahadiel: [23:26] owner_, Didn't work? [23:26] Ahadiel: not work [23:26] @packet-sent: Install gtk-hash. Make a md5sum of the file before copying, then check it after it's copied. Or any other hash-check program you wish. I only know of gtk-hash that has a GUI. [23:26] owner_, So you had to re-enable wl? [23:26] i remove my blacklist [23:26] ah [23:26] yes [23:26] how? [23:26] hey all [23:27] owner_, I'm thinking. [23:27] how would I execute the bell command over ssh? [23:27] oke.. [23:27] owner_, try reinstalling b43-fwcutter [23:27] Ahadiel : http://pastebin.com/m2e6a9ffe [23:27] how? [23:27] how to re-install b43-fwcutter [23:27] mohammed510, remove the "/media" from PRUNEPATHS [23:28] OttifantSir: I have used md5sum to check the file just wondered if the copy process does error checking on the file and destination nativly [23:28] mohammed510, then run updatedb again [23:28] owner_, Let me see [23:28] Just a quick shout: Ubuntu based laptop for sale http://is.gd/1p426 [23:28] I cannot rename this ubuntu server, i set /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts, reboot, and the files are back the way they were before [23:28] Ahadiel , Does the PRUNPATHS stop the locate command? [23:28] oke === owner_ is now known as Owner [23:29] mohammed510, the folders in PRUNEPATHS are ignored by updatedb IIRC [23:29] @packet-sent: Not to such a degree as a hash-checker. It checks the data while copying, and doesn't delete the file from the source before it's completely moved if that's what you're doing. [23:29] Owner, apt-get --reinstall install b43-fwcutter [23:29] oke [23:29] Owner, sudo apt-get --reinstall install b43-fwcutter [23:29] n2diy: the 'bell' command? [23:30] mohammed510, That's why locate VBOX didn't return anything. [23:30] mohammed510, because /media isn't indexed [23:30] this is reinstalling right? [23:30] Owner, yeah [23:30] Ahadiel: Thanks , the problem is solved [23:30] mohammed510, Glad to have helped. [23:30] losher: actually, I've learned it is an imbedded character. Yes, bell, makes the machine beep. [23:31] already..but required to restart not showing [23:31] n2diy, \a [23:31] Owner, what? [23:31] i must to manually myself to restart this system? [23:31] hi ppl [23:31] n2diy: control-G ? [23:32] Owner, let me see [23:32] Ahadiel: May I know your nationality?? [23:32] i already reinstall b43-fwcutter [23:32] oke [23:32] mohammed510, Canadian [23:32] Ahadiel: where abouts? calgary here [23:32] Ahadiel : I am Egyptian [23:32] mohammed510, I'm white/asian :D [23:32] billybigrig, BC [23:33] losher: nope, didn't work. [23:33] Owner, can you pastebin the output of "iwconfig"? [23:33] Ahadiel : May I ask you to be friends? [23:33] how? [23:33] in terminal? [23:33] Owner, run that command in the terminal, and copy/paste the output to pastebin [23:33] !paste | Owner [23:33] Owner: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic [23:34] mohammed510, Sure. [23:34] i show u [23:34] Can I have your mail-address in the private? [23:34] then? [23:34] mohammed510, nope [23:34] hi all [23:34] mohammed510, But you can come in here and ask for help anytime :D [23:34] Ahadiel: ? [23:34] Owner, sec [23:35] oke [23:35] n2diy: I've done something like it in the past using echo "^G" . You could then do ssh 'echo "^G"' but the quoting is tricky and you need an editor that will let you embed the ctrl-G character [23:35] Ahadiel: Ok , no problem [23:35] Ahadiel: Thanks again for your help [23:35] mohammed510, yeah, no problem [23:36] losher: yes, my playing with the concept now, but the syntax is tricky. [23:36] can i comment all the deb-src entries in my sources.list ? [23:37] can anyone tell me how to add a linux-swap to a partition? [23:37] can anyone help me out with some advise on ndiswrapper? [23:37] n2diy: might be easier to write a little C program called 'beep' and invoke that instead [23:37] join /vmware [23:38] is there any filebrowser like nautilus, which can deal with ctime, and not just m/atime? [23:38] vilemaxim: try /join #vmware [23:38] vegarturo, terminal -- cfdisk -- new partittion in empty space, choose type swap [23:38] losher: I just found that \a is the same as C-g. Roger on the program, might be an option if I can find a perl or bash script. [23:38] is there some type of application to make an automated voice answering system that uses the modem? like it has menus and such, and will transfer you...etc? [23:39] AakashPatel, I think asterisk does that. [23:39] owen1: yes, should be fine if you aren't downloading source code [23:39] AakashPatel, http://www.asterisk.org/ [23:39] losher: got it , thanks [23:39] if i use the ndiswrapper to install my native wifi drivers how can i got back to the linux ones if it doesn't work? [23:39] Ahadiel: astrisks can use the modem? i thought iwas only ip [23:40] AakashPatel, oh, maybe you're right. [23:40] AakashPatel: it can't use a modem, but it can use an analog card that plugs into normal phone lines [23:41] hola, disculpen que los moleste alguno me podria pasar una sources.list para ubuntu 7.10 [23:41] !es | Cyberkaia [23:41] Cyberkaia: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [23:41] porque estoy tratandod e ayudar a un amigo hace horas.. y solo errores.. [23:41] thx [23:41] Dulak: analog card? [23:41] @AkashPatel: Asterisk can be used with Voice over IP (SIP, H.323, IAX and more) standards, or the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) through supported hardware. (From Synaptic) [23:42] AakashPatel: yes an analog PSTN card, you can get it in 1, 2, and 4 per card [23:42] oh [23:42] what does this mean [23:42] 192.168.0.0/16 [23:42] i'm not familiar with the / syntax [23:43] i wanna know that too [23:43] i think it means the something about the lowest 16 bits [23:43] those bits being 0.0 [23:44] i mean 0,0 [23:44] @Hilikus: If I remember correctly, 192.168.0.1/255 uses the entire 192.168.0.x-range, while /16 uses only 16 of the 255 available [23:44] erm 0.0 [23:44] No, a /16 is the entire block [23:44] 256 class c network blocks [23:45] hello all! [23:45] hi guys, how do i play things like youtube in firefox? ive downloaded the plugin it asked me to, but it just freezes [23:45] Dulak: so if i want 192.168.0.1 - 192.168.0.255 i should use 192.168.0.0/8 ? [23:45] nlko: 64 bit? [23:45] can anyone help me out with using dpkg-scanpackages to make a repository? for some reason it is not printing anything into the Packages file [23:45] Hilikus: yes [23:45] coleys: 32 [23:45] Dulak: cool, thanks [23:46] nlko: Download .deb from flash website. =o === mstrobert is now known as mstrobert` [23:46] Hilikus: wait, that's a /24, not a /8 [23:46] Hilikus: 192.168.0.0/24 [23:46] Dulak: how come???
