I though collEge was school, and collAge was a picture of many pictures pasted together. Have I been wrong for the past 15 years?

[00:06] can somebody point me to a guide on how to make a windows bootable usb (from linux) [00:06] ikonia: lol are you gonna bother me the whole night about it? [00:06] Hi hi. Rearding this password for default keyring business, that I have to enter when the computer starts up as it connects to my home wireless network, do I really have to enter it each time or is there a way to get it to remember? [00:06] Cube: no, I'm asking why you gave it me [00:06] the startup disk creation tool works only for ubuntu bootable usbs [00:07] how do I configure where the programs I have icons for in the application menu [00:07] SpacePigeon, look into BartPE [00:07] I have a vista pe image [00:07] SpacePigeon, not that windows runs all that well from a USB stick [00:08] it runs fine Halitech [00:08] here is the pastebin [00:08] http://pastebin.com/m43fd944c [00:08] Halitech, yeah, i'm just trying to run a chkdsk /f on a windows computer (acer laptop) which has no cd drive [00:08] so i just need the repairing functions [00:08] ikonia yes loadrunner is available for linux [00:08] not that i will run windows on it haha [00:08] * Markopotomus fixed his EeePC using the Ubuntu desktop CD on a USB stick today :) [00:08] dijonmustard, they must have made some changes then [00:08] hello, I've upgraded to karmic with the simple "update-manager -d" , everything went fine, except on restart I've got neither splash (I know it's by design) nor kernel boot messages. any advice? am I alone with this? should I file a bug? [00:08] spacepigeon the easiest thing to do is just put another cdrom in it [00:08] rave: can't see any info on the HP website [00:08] !karmic | pas [00:08] pas: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [00:08] ikonia yes loadrunner is available for linux but it is for enterprise red hat linux [00:08] even if temporarily [00:08] SpacePigeon, any option of a floppy? [00:09] rocko: that's kind of an incomplete question but I think rightclick on the menu and then "edit menus" should get you started [00:09] thanks [00:09] np [00:09] i have the script and package with me but it says prerequiste not there [00:09] rave: then you'll have a hard time, you'd have to extract the rpm's "hope" they have compatible library sets and then place them in the correct place on your ubuntu box [00:09] hey sebsebseb you helped me earlier, is there a chance you can help me again ? this time regarding my wireless network device [00:09] !alien | rave [00:09] rave: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) [00:09] ikonia i have the script and package with me but it says prerequiste not there [00:10] Halitech, nah, it doesn't have a floppy drive either (nor i have a portable usb floppy drive) [00:10] rave: which prerequisites are missing [00:10] Martin31: earlier? you mean the other day with something?

[00:13] grrr i just got done installing vmware server [00:14] gogeta: yeah, but how good is it really? [00:14] gogeta, yeah, only downside is you need to have an OS running to use it [00:14] gogeta: have you tested? [00:14] sebsebseb: what vbox 3 [00:14] gogeta: yep and the Directx support [00:14] they have directx support now? [00:14] wow [00:14] sebsebseb: no i did it in vmware thow [00:15] gogeta: dijonmustard yep.. for dx8/9 [00:15] sebsebseb: good for dx apps [00:15] * __d3f0__ is away: Ausente por ahora [00:15] !away > __d3f0__ [00:15] __d3f0__, please see my private message [00:15] dont plan on gaming lol [00:15] Think i might just go all kubunt compiz and start running virtual sessions on my desktops [00:15] dijonmustard: I read it's slow with some games though, or whatever [00:15] i've installed a second net card, it shows up in lspci but theres no eth1, can anyone help? [00:15] gogeta: if they are older then it shouldn't be a problem [00:16] I installed an SSH server in my local lan and can connect to it via ssh -p xxx user@192.168.1.x, how can I connect to the server remotely from the internet? Would I be able to ssh to my machine just by resolving the IP of my router?? Or something special needs to be done so I can ssh from the internet to my ssh server that's connected via a cable modem and router? [00:16] they got caldega and that other one crossover so games dont seem to be that big of a deal for linux anymore [00:16] ikonia: but we cool right? [00:16] ikonia: im sorry man [00:16] mezquitale: 192.168 is non-routable, you'll need to nat/portforward your public IP address [00:16] Scunizi: vmware makes the card show up as a genric nivida or ari [00:16] Ive been sittn back for 10 years playing with linux on the side waiting for it to get where I want think it's getting close. === Wizzup`NIN is now known as Wizzup [00:17] Is it possible for a wireless card to have trouble with connecting to just /one/ specific network? I'm on my laptop (Jaunty) and when I try to connect to the library's wireless via wicd, it never gets past the "Obtaining IP Address" stage. Others can connect since I see them on their computers... [00:17] ati [00:17] gogeta: yep.. that's normal [00:17] mezquitale, you would need to forward ports on your router (if you have 1) and y ou might want to look into a free name service like dyndns.com [00:17] mezquitale, forward port 22 to your internal IP [00:17] dijonmustard: yep it's getting there, with the help of Wine, and Virtualbox [00:17] gogeta: probably similar in vbox. [00:17] Okay so I have a wireless usb device to connect to my network, it's a Netgear WG111v2. It works out of the box, but I get max download speeds of 90kb/s, even while transferring files on my lan. Any help ? [00:17] @Big: Try running this in a terminal: "sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel" (without quotation marks) and log out of your session and back in to restart X. See if that gives you anything. Also, give us any error messages during install of this driver. [00:17] Andorin wicd you have to turn off keys for it to connect to a open [00:17] ever since creating a xsession script to use gnome with openbox wm, my sound starts muted upon login. is there some command i need to add to this script to unmute and set the sound level to max? [00:18] i implement microsoft for a living but i say more and more the future is open source [00:18] Andorinor it will try to send your keys and of course fail [00:18] bastid_razor, i changed the port, i think port 22 is being blocked by my isp, anyone knows if cable internet blocks ports to be used for ssh? im not using the default port [00:18] dijonmustard: of course there are some pretty good games for Linux, just got to know where to get them from, but there's still this idea that Windows gaming is better, so once Virtualbox can support it properly :) [00:18] mezquitale: contact your isp [00:19] mezquitale: no no isp blocks port 23 [00:19] mezquitale, then forward the port ssh is listening to.. i have the same situation and simply changed the port ssh listens to then forwarded that port in my router [00:19] ssh [00:19] yeah i use to play quake3 in linux [00:19] mezquitale: they normaly block 22 to stop ftp servers [00:19] and enemy territory [00:20] gogeta, ftp is on 21 [00:20] i've installed a second net card, it shows up in lspci but theres no eth1, can anyone help? [00:20] Halitech, so basically I would use the ip on my cable modem to reach my ssh server and I would need to redirect the port I use for ssh to the ip on the ssh server? [00:20] lol oops [00:20] yea 21 [00:20] mezquitale, yes [00:20] they dont block 22 [00:20] gogeta, ;) [00:20] Halitech, so, this is taking forever.. are those files in that site you linked me to supposed to contain the repair functions of the windows xp cd [00:20] ? [00:20] hello is there any way to view a terminal if it is running from another process e.g. running on a remote system and u didn't start it [00:20] gogeta: What do you mean, turn off keys? [00:20] Barridus: try adding something like this script to startup apps; it's a workaround, not a solution; http://pastebin.com/f7326ebbe [00:21] Halitech: of couse any smart user just uses a non standerd port lol === AndorinKato is now known as Andorin [00:21] Can someone send me a working irc proxy? :) socks 5 or proxy... [00:21] dijonmustard: no [00:21] lol [00:21] rikki_max: if the terminal was started and you're running screen on the remote machine [00:21] dijonmustard: you'll need to build one yourself [00:21] Andorin: click the little arrow on the connection and go to advaned settings [00:21] i have one i guess to use brb now that u got my ip :P [00:21] scunizi: the process was started by a script [00:22] SpacePigeon, remind me again, what link did I send you :O [00:22] i cant login to vnc from a remote pc, can anyone help me out [00:22] Barridus: that will work only with alsa; for pulseaudio check what command you need to unmute and set to some % [00:22] Andorin: for there can turn off wifi securty or chage it [00:22] mfs [00:22] rikki_max: In that case I'm not sure.. without screen as a multiplexer (if that's the right word) I don't think you can attach to it. [00:22] Okay so I have a wireless usb device to connect to my network, it's a Netgear WG111v2. It works out of the box, but I get max download speeds of 90kb/s, even while transferring files on my lan. Any help ? [00:22] gogeta: Nothing is enabled on this connection... no boxes are checked.

[00:22] Halitech, bootdisk.com [00:22] Andorin: is the libary open [00:22] erxin, do you have a router and have you forwarded the port? [00:22] gogeta: I'm there now. [00:22] VCoolio, i'm using pulse, thanks for the point in the right direction [00:23] rikki_max: if you can modify the script to run screen and then the process inside of the screen instance then yes.. you'll be able to attach to it. [00:23] SpacePigeon, ahh, no it shouldn';t take long to download [00:23] Andorin: does it say open or doees it need a key [00:23] scunizi: thnks well i thought so, now im going to adding logging to my irc bot thnks to that certain guy [00:23] gogeta: Oh, the network? It's unsecured. [00:23] Halitech, i might wait for the bootable usb to be created, but its still below 10% [00:23] Andorin: it will say wep or wpa [00:23] ola [00:23] Halitech, I will do that once I get home! Thanks! I already have an adccount with dyndns.com, I want to be able to log in using an actual IP first, once I know that works I will use the service for name resolution [00:23] q tal [00:23] alguien de españa [00:24] SpacePigeon, I think unetbootin is slow writing to a usb stick [00:24] mezquitale, ok [00:24] Halitech: does VNC do not configure that automatically [00:24] scunizi: it logs currently to the console and of course didn't make it save it. and i needed to c it just wondering if ubuntu could let me c that process terminal [00:24] Andorin: then slect advanced and uncheck use key [00:24] Halitech, yeah, a lot! [00:24] Halitech, any other app [00:24] ? [00:24] gogeta: It is unchecked. [00:24] erxin, no it won't configure a router [00:24] Andorin: it should connect [00:24] it takes about 30ms writing any file, whether its 700 B or 16 KB ! [00:24] rikki_max: if it's running inside of screen yes [00:24] SpacePigeon, not that I can think of [00:24] gogeta: K, I'll try it.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [00:26] Halitech, beause it is indeed fast [00:26] Andorin: maye its just not working [00:26] Andorin: or they use a mac filter [00:28] I need help to understand this s tuto http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/fulldisclosure/2004-10/0310.html [00:28] Quassel doesnt support proxies what's the best irc client?

Where is it installed and how can I completely remove it?

When I said that the box was unchecked, I mean that it was unchecked by default. [00:29] Hoss: removes config files [00:29] gogeta: why doesnt remove get rid of it? [00:29] can_: if you can activate compiz then it has an expose feature.. cube too! [00:29] AndorinKato: sounds like they filter the network [00:29] What is the easiest way to cloak your self on irc minus using a proxy? [00:29] gogeta: For what?

[00:30] I have compiz, but I couldn't find the expose feature, the cube is amazing though! [00:30] gogeta: What could they be filtering out? I didn't know that was possible.

[01:08] Titan8990: for a Netgear WG111v2 wireless network adapter [01:09] Martin31, what does lspci say the chip is? [01:09] Martin31, it is doubtful you need ndiswrapper + the windows driver [01:09] How exactly do I get widgets? [01:10] Titan8990: i dont think lspci will work because its a usb device [01:10] Martin31, lsusb [01:10] !screenlet | sephy [01:10] sephy: Screenlets are little widgets for your !desktop.

[01:14] !vnc | erxin [01:14] erxin: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [01:14] Martin31, alfas are usb, and very popular these days [01:15] pumpkinseed: make sure you are setting your output into "headphones" mode and not "line out" mode [01:15] Martin31, good compatibility, very good reception, and injection support [01:15] something weird is happening to my system today and I'm not sure how to troubleshoot. Everything was going fine when sudenely all froze up. No mouse, no keyboard. I hard rebooted and then it would not restart. The Caps Lock and Scroll lock LEDs just flashed. I tried again and it rebooted but now it boots to 100% cpu usage. Also, when I start up XChat, it is blue themed. Evolution is also blue themed and w [01:15] ill not run. Just starts up and goes grey. [01:15] Titan8990: do you have their website link ? [01:15] magnetron - could you elaborate [01:16] is there any way to make an external drive always be a certain /dev/sd?? after a reboot?

Thanks for telling me. [01:18] i installed ubuntu on my usb drive and now everytime i start the computer i must choose between ubuntu and vista and if i dont have the ub drive nothing boots at all it y error how do i change vista to first boot === blaah is now known as smokie [01:18] hmm, is ad-hoc networking supposed to "just work" with 9.04? because it doesn't [01:19] ad-hoc wifi that is [01:19] tronixor, change the boot order in your bios [01:19] I got it. It was not that "External Amplifier" was unchecked, it was because "IEC958 Optical Raw" was checked and needed to be unchecked. [01:19] tronixor, or if the mbr was actually written to the internal drive, you will need to do some work on the mbrs [01:20] tronixor: editing the menu.lst in /boot/grub will fix the boot order [01:21] bruenig, if you read close i think the problem actually is that nothing will boot and he is looking at the solution being a changed boot order [01:21] I just installed a new sound card, and I went under "Sound Preferences" and set everything to "ICEnsamble ICE1724 IEC1724 IEC958 (ALSA)" This works for most things, like Totem, but for my volume control and for VLC I've tried all the options and none of them work [01:21] kk i try... you mean when i choose the different os i can edit them 2? [01:21] Titan8990: he said nothing boots at all when he doesn't have the usb plugged in [01:22] The volume control applet, and VLC do not have the "ICEnsamble ICE1724 IEC1724 IEC958 (ALSA)" option - How do I get it there? [01:23] my notebookcan i do?? is asus and i use ubuntu 8 04 no sound or graphic can be displayed on it what [01:24] Titan8990: super grub live cd to fix it? [01:24] i am getting an error in tovid. tovid use to work in Hardy Heron, yhen I upgraded to Jaunty and now I get an error, tovid can't find the .mpg. I can't seem to find anything on gogle [01:24] !pm | tronixor [01:24] tronixor: 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. [01:24] my notebook?? is asus and i use ubuntu 8 04 no sound or graphic can be displayed on it what can i do [01:24] Now evolution finally quite trying to start, but my cpu is still running 100%...after 15 minutes of run time [01:25] @ha: Try a live-CD of 8.10 or 9.04 first and see what that does [01:25] Hmm [01:26] Bookman: did you try running top to see what is using up so many CPU cycles? [01:26] do you think that new versions will fix these problems [01:26] l7: xorg is the top user [01:26] 10% [01:27] 10% is a little high, but not very abnormal. what else is running? [01:27] @ha: Maybe. If it does, it's a rather easy fix to do an upgrade. If not, there's something else wrong [01:27] often firefox + flash and javascript will eat up a lot of CPU [01:27] thanks [01:27] l7: it goes beyond that. no firefox, just xchat [01:28] l7: and why upon reboot is xchat now blue themed [01:28] adobe's flash 10 codec need lot of cpu clock, i have the same issue [01:28] i think that is inevitable [01:28] l7: evolution lost my email folders completely === Leszczoman is now known as karaeska [01:28] flash just sucks =p nuff said. [01:28] Bookman: blue themed? maybe it's the KDE theme? [01:28] l7: i'm in gnome [01:29] Bookman: Change your gtk theme? [01:29] nope [01:29] just running along, then total freeze up [01:29] reboot and all hell has broken loose [01:29] Bookman, any I/O errors? [01:30] Bookman, your computer total freeze up? [01:30] yup, solid [01:30] Bookman: can you get to a term? [01:30] No, it rebooted fine [01:30] try rebooting using alt+petsys and presing R E I S U B [01:30] Bookman: can you get to a term? [01:30] sure [01:31] too see if kernel is working fine when your computer freezes up [01:31] I have a wifi card and my video card sharing the same IRQ (18) I suspect that is causing me trouble [01:31] @Bookman: You have had something happen that's happened to me too. The blue theme is Tango, the fallback theme when something goes wrong. And you're probably not in YOUR user session, but guest session [01:31] Bookman: what happens when you try to launch things from the terminal [01:31] any output? [01:31] I imagine this is gtk oriented [01:31] otherwise, it wouldn't apply to all of these various apps [01:32] Offifantsir: I'm in my session [01:32] @Bookman: Then you're slightly better off than I've been. [01:33] OttifantSir: appending things with @ is pretty obnoxious [01:33] us [01:33] bruenig: I launched nautilus. launched ok. no output [01:33] But it is also "blue themed" [01:34] Bookman: launch the problem apps [01:34] and looks "crude" or ten years old [01:34] So, bruenig, please explain to me why that is. [01:34] also, try launching apps as root, perhaps there is some strange configuration issues in your home dir [01:34] Is there any Linux support for Cybernet Touchscreen monitors? [01:34] bruenig: but how can that be when I was just running along fine? === joshthecoder is now known as joshthecoder_afk [01:34] anyone here who knows about IRQs and that stuff? [01:35] Bookman: configurations change all the time [01:36] bruenig, please get back to me and explain your statement. [01:36] alex_dinamo: IRQ or IRC? [01:36] OttifantSir: everyone else simply types the name followed by a comma or colon. So yours is obnoxious in that context [01:36] karaeska: IRQs, hardware interruptions [01:38] Still don't see why it is a problem. And you are the first to comment on it. I've started recognizing names in this channel, people "always" on, and they haven't said anything about it. [01:39] ok, fresh reboot. Nothing else started but XChat. 100% cpu usage [01:39] Now I start System Monitor. Load is 5.21 [01:40] hi [01:40] Every window is blue [01:40] one last time anyone know why I can't get K3B to use more then 16 chars when I have selected 103 char limit in advanced settings?

Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [01:44] Anything else to try here, or just install a different O/S.

[01:45] I even asked in #k3b and for 2 hours now still have no reply, linux community seems to suck at help desk compared to the Mac guys at least, unless you ask them anytihng about OSx86 [01:45] yaboo: gwibber is for twitter/identica/facebook statuses [01:45] manu: Depends on your expectations and knowledge and hardware.

Reboot and now a nightmare [01:53] Bookman, by nightmare you mean...? === jay is now known as Guest63810 [01:53] OttifantSir, Broadcom STA [01:53] jrib: that file just looks like this http://pastebin.com/m11b01bfd [01:53] Kalmi: theme is all messed up. Now blue. Evolution lost my email folders completely [01:53] I am pretty hep to my Unbuntu box, but I am looking for an RSS screensaver like my Mac has. anyone seen it? [01:53] 100% cpu usage upon boot up [01:53] CUPS+Gutenprint or Foomatic? [01:54] koshi: then it should be using the default video driver afaik [01:54] Bookman, blue? that's not even the default... [01:54] OttifantSir, and I have activated it [01:54] Kalmi: exactly === slaytani2 is now known as slaytanic [01:54] Kalmi: I use the defaults always. Including the background [01:55] Bookman, you are using ext3, right? [01:55] Kalmi: yup [01:56] dethredic: Strange. I use that on my Broadcom card, and it's working like a charm. Try de-activating it and install b43-fwcutter. If you can't do it in Hardware Drivers, do "sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter" (without quotations), then run "b43-fwcutter" (again, no""), see if that solves the problem. If it doesn't ask again, and someone else will help you blacklist the driver (if needed) and troubleshoot further. [01:57] Bookman, what process is using the CPU? [01:57] I updated Ubuntuone today.. but i STILL cant get it too auto connect on login >.< === linkd is now known as kaay === kaay is now known as linkd [01:58] Kalmi: nothing shows up....just xorg [01:58] i have windows xp, and no blank disks to burn ubuntu on, is there a way i can download it and install? i have about 7gb partion i am not using === xtr-II is now known as xtr [01:59] fission6: you need an ISO burning tool... like cdrtools frontend [01:59] !install | fission6 [01:59] fission6: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues - Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [01:59] If you want to Install Ubunut on Windows and have no CD burner you might want to consider Wubi [01:59] cdrtools? [01:59] !wubi | fission6 [01:59] fission6: 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. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. [01:59] fission6: You can try Ubuntu by virtual machine [01:59] fission6: www.cdrtfe.sourceforge.net [01:59] erm, take the www. part off [02:00] Yea, either wubi or a VM is a good route if you have no burner or want a small footprint, etc. [02:00] or you install from USB (easy) [02:00] nah i'd like to offical boot into unbuntu, windows is pissing me off with viruses [02:00] *could [02:00] He just hasn't got any media. He's got the hardware, but not the media to burn a CD. [02:00] OttifantSir exactly [02:01] hi, every so often in ubuntu when i boot up, the sound is really low, rebooting sets it back to normal, but kinda inconvenient, i tried sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart but it doesn't work [02:01] fission6: Booting from usb is an option if your bios supports that [02:01] fission6, have you got a pendrive? [02:02] ok so whats my best option here, i'd like to download ubuntu to my partion i am not using, and somehow install there and boot into ubuntu [02:02] no external media available [02:02] fission6: thats a normal install... grab the iso for your computer type and burn it using cdrtools [02:02] Well, Wubi will boot indepedent of Windows but runs off a virtual filesystem contained on the NTFS partition. A vm would be easier to move at a later point, but will require (at least for now) you to run it atop windows. [02:03] I DO NOT have any cds, unless you mean emulate it [02:03] Wubi is a pretty good option as that way you don't have to start Windows at all. [02:03] fission6: ok, ok, no need too yell, sorry :) [02:03] Want to know something absolutely LAME [02:03] Ubuntu bricked my PSP [02:03] my Sansa is not automatically mounting; how can I mount it manually?

[02:04] oakmac: does other stuff mount automatically/ [02:04] Sansa: if it has a UUID can you add a line for it in /etc/fstab? [02:04] Sandisk Sansa e200 (i think, it might be a e250) [02:04] i had too edit parts of gphoto to get my e250s to mount [02:05] it has mounted previously; the upgrade to 9.04 had this problem [02:05] Kalmi: any ideas or am I just beat here. [02:05] jrib: other things mount correctly [02:05] Bookman, you could run "sudo top" to find processes not fully listed in systemmonitor [02:05] oakmac: were seeing same issue, ok, one sec, let me figure out where the file is [02:05] oakmac: switch the mode your sansa uses to switch files and try again? [02:05] jrib: it's set in the USB portable storage mode [02:05] Kalmi: I do that and the only thing that takes up big cpu cycles (10%) is xorg [02:05] oakmac: switch the mode your sansa uses to switch files and try again? [02:06] jrib oakmac go ahead and try, but i doubt it will help [02:06] Bookman, you said that there was "100% cpu usage" [02:06] Kalmi: yup. system monitor shows 100% [02:07] Kalmi: hard drive is working like crazy [02:07] i think ill try wubi [02:07] does the gateway address on a router have to be on the wan port or could it be on a lan port essentially the router would be providing dhcp and wireless services and pointing the other lan clients to the gateway [02:07] thanks for the recommedation [02:07] Bookman, and top as root shows nothing? [02:07] it's still having the same problem [02:07] switched to other mode, plugged it in (nothing happens), switched back to USB mode (nothing happens) [02:08] this used to work fine in 8.10; any ideas? [02:08] oakmac, gartral: my sansa has always mounted since I had it. On a firmware upgrade it stopped because the transfer mode had been switched [02:08] OttifantSir, thank man that worked great! [02:08] oakmac: ok in termial put locate 20-libgphoto2.fdi [02:08] Kalmi: I will try a reboot and try again. but why is everything blue and crude looking? In the windows. Background and icons are fine. [02:09] it's in /usr/share/hal/fdi/preprobe/10osvendor/20-libgphoto2.fdi [02:09] oakmac: ok, gksu gedit /usr/share/hal/fdi/preprobe/10osvendor/20-libgphoto2.fdi [02:09] gartral, oakmac: gphoto shouldn't even be involved if it's being mounted as MSC [02:10] ok, i'm in there; it's an XML file [02:10] jrib: I know, but it is classified by gphoto as a camera, not a media player... and it causes weird stuff too hapen [02:10] dethredic: I'm as surprised as you. Usually Broadcom is a lot harder to do. [02:11] oakmac: ctl-f and find Sansa E200 [02:11] gartral: bug 363101 ? [02:11] Bookman, it seems that a few things got corrupted... probably just user-level things... because other things weren't open for writing at the time of the freeze... [02:11] Kalmi: ok, so the fix is? [02:11] gartral: found it [02:12] jrib: i didnt know there was a bug report on it, all i know is oakmac is the 4th person ive helped with the issue :) [02:12] oakmac: delete the blovk [02:12] block* [02:12] Bookman, well... you could delete the gnome releated hidden folders in your home directory to get back the default... [02:12] 안녕하세요 [02:12] Kalmi: you know what? I just switched to another user and it is fine [02:13] Bookman, told you... user-level [02:13] Kalmi: ok, but does that mean that my evolution email is toast? [02:13] gartral: ok [02:14] oakmac: ok, now you can save and close the file, and restart your comp (the easy way) or run /ect/init.d/hal restart and replug your sansa [02:14] Kalmi: and which are the gnome hidden folders? === jack__ is now known as JPSman [02:14] Oh .. there is other server [02:14] how do I get SDL.h? === shazbotmcnasty is now known as ShazbotMcNasty [02:15] Im korea ubuntu user :) [02:15] !ko [02:15] 도움이 필요하시면 다음 채널에 조인하십시오. /join #ubuntu-ko [02:15] Tang soo do!

[02:20] Bookman, and these too...: .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity [02:20] did everything the brother install doc said, printer still aborts job after warming up [02:20] I dont know what installing jaunty did, but I'm pretty upset with Ubuntu [02:21] my camera, printer, and accel 3d is broken [02:21] and I had to switch back to bash [02:21] I have messed up my ubuntu 9.04 install by changing the video card with binary drivers installed (ati) to nvidia card. I have tried running sudo dpkg-configure xserver-org and also -a but it still boots to blank screen. [02:21] hello all! [02:21] ubuntu: sudo aptitude purge fglrx [02:22] what are the modules in the right column of lsmod? [02:22] ubuntu: if its an older ati radeon, you're only hope is the open source drivers [02:22] just installed ubuntu server 9.04 32 bit version [02:22] during the install, I requested that mysql be installed [02:22] how does one get mysql to start manuall upon boot up? [02:22] gartral: thank you, will try that now [02:22] is there documentation specific for ubuntu server 9.04 re: mysql? [02:22] it should by default sam555 [02:22] fireun: he install an NVidia card without removeing the ATI drivers first [02:22] sam555: thers some service commands to enable/disable services [02:22] !upstart | sam555 [02:22] sam555: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [02:23] cjae: The way I have understood LVM is that you bunch a group of discs together to make a larger disc of them. Such that if you have 2 500GB drives and want to have 1 800GB drive and 2 100GB drives, the information is spread across the two drives. But there is no redundancy and no safety in LVM. Lose one disc, lose it all. [02:23] Kalmi: ok, now everything is still blue and crude looking [02:23] thanks dunks and Dr_Willis [02:23] Bookman, have you logged off and back in? [02:23] I copied my /home directory over to this laptop from another computer, and now my keyboard does not work under X (notably the f keys). How can I restore it to default values? I am running jaunty. [02:23] kalmi, it just switched [02:23] Bookman, log off and log bakc in [02:24] OttifantSir, thanks for responding [02:24] Kalmi: will do [02:24] kandinski: gnome has its settings in .gnome* and .gconf* you coumd move/rename those dirs (but you will loose all ghe gnome settings), as a test you could just add a new user and see if the keyboard works properly for them [02:24] how could 9.04 break basic printing? [02:24] cjae: Just wish I had had a few more external disks to back up my LVM. I had 3TB of data. All gone after I lost the LVM-config files. [02:25] is there a GUI tool to manage ports? [02:25] sagaci: manage in what ways? [02:25] open a few ports up [02:25] OttifantSir, shibby [02:25] Is it possible to temporarily change the window manager from compiz to metacity upon a SSH VNC connection, then switch back after logoff? [02:25] sagaci: they should be open.. if you have a service thats running on them.. theres no firewall rules by default. [02:25] tovid can't finish because it can't find encoded.mpg file. anyone know anything about this error? [02:25] !firewall | sagaci [02:25] sagaci: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Uncomplicated_Firewall_ufw), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI applications such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist === paracelsus is now known as wontonsoup [02:26] thanks === joshthecoder is now known as joshthecoder_afk [02:26] mattgyver: install fusion-icon. I don't use it, but as I have understood it, it turns Compiz on and off [02:26] mattgyver[L]: Or you can just use a script. [02:26] Kalmi: ok, theme is good now...thanks, but all needs to be reset, correct? Like evolution? [02:27] mattgyver[L]: you can run metacity --replace or compiz --replace to change the window managers, I think [02:27] mattgyver: just put a launcher on the panel with `metacity --replace` and label it "Compiz Off", and another launcher called `compiz --replace` and label it "Compiz On". [02:27] OttifantSir, I use fusion icon however im looking for something i dont have to mess with, coleys ive thought about a script as well, but wasnt sure if something existed [02:27] I've looked thru the /var/log/cups/ files and nothing indicates cups has an issue with printing - but after blinking a few times and warming up, my brother 2040 just go back to a solid idle led as if it finished printing [02:27] Kalmi: cpu near zero [02:28] mattgyver[L]: or you can make a sophisticated script that will detect which is running and launch the other. [02:28] I've tried reinstalling the drivers, the ones in apt are the same as listed on the brother website - no change === pepperjack is now known as shamanWM [02:28] mattgyver[L]: http://pastebin.com/f1edf6780 [02:28] (That script will work) [02:28] guys i have a question [02:29] !question | phpDEMON [02:29] phpDEMON: 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. :-) [02:29] Dr_Willis: thanks, I will look inside .gnome* and .gconf*, and replace comonents piecemeal till I get it to work [02:29] fireun: maybe the proprietary TurboPrint CUPS drivers will work. [02:29] I don't know how Evolution handles corrupted files... If it doesn't start, you could delete its files.... [02:29] cellofellow: I had it working just fine in Intrepid before I upgraded [02:29] Bookman, [02:29] fireun: :( [02:30] Those are all very good suggestions but is there a way to incorporate that into running as soon as a client connects via SSH, like an init file that could be edited to run the script [02:30] Why does the xpad driver not sync up with wine on Jaunty [02:30] cellofellow: yeah, another strike against Jaunty [02:30] Kalmi: yes [02:30] mattgyver[L]: might be something that ~/.ssh/config can do for that. man ssh_config. [02:30] kandinski: test with a new user.. if the thing dont work with a totally new user.. you got bigger issues [02:30] cellofellow, great, thanks for the hot tip ';) [02:30] Bookman, I don't know how Evolution handles corrupted files... If it doesn't start, you could delete its files.... [02:30] gartral: i removed /usr/share/hal/fdi/preprobe/10osvendor/20-libgphoto2.fdi and it works now [02:31] gartral: thank you for your help :) [02:31] Bookman: sudo rm -rf ~/.evolution/ [02:31] Any word on when firefox 3.5 will be released to the ubuntu (jaunty) repositories? Thanks [02:31] !ff35 [02:31] Firefox 3.5 Final is available for Jaunty by installing the package firefox-3.5 | FF3.5 is referred to as Shiretoko on your UI, see http://is.gd/1reB3 for more info | Hardy & Intrepid: http://is.gd/1jkNY [02:31] mubu: it allready is [02:31] oakmac: ok, just dont expect some cameras to work now :) [02:31] coleys, mattgyver: That script seems halfway there. It stops Compiz, but I think he wants to start an SSH session after stopping Compiz and wake it back up when the session ends. [02:31] gartral: i don't even own a camera ;) [02:31] Dr_Willis, Thats weird, when i open the update manager and check for updates it doesnt show up in the list... it says my system is up to date... [02:32] oakmac: i have one of the Kodak Easyshare crap cams [02:32] OttifantSir: For VNC or..? [02:32] mubu: its not a required update. [02:32] mubu: like the bot said... is available for Jaunty by installing the package firefox-3.5 [02:32] coleys: or just move to trash in nautilus [02:32] mubu: its a different package name, see ubottu's message above. [02:32] Bookman: oy? [02:32] coleys: Ask mattgyver. That's just what I seemed to gather was his wishes [02:33] sysadmin@Kserver2:/etc/mysql$ mysqladmin -u root password newpassword [02:33] mattgyver[L]: What do you want =P? I think we need that cleared up... [02:33] mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed [02:33] When i play a windows game using wine, why isnt the X360 controller layout the same as on windows? i am running Jaunty and have the latest xpad driver. any help would be appreciated [02:33] error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)' [02:33] Dr_Willis, do i have to add any repos , or will sudo apt-get install firefox-3.5 do the trick?

[02:34] Ok, tried the "sudo apt purge fglrx" to remove the ati binary drivers. That did remove them apparently but I still ended up with no display after boot. I am using the the live cd to be on here (got to love that). === slaytani1 is now known as slaytanic [02:35] still having problems with mysql and ubuntu server 9.04 [02:35] any good tutorials on this? [02:36] how do i replace the icon of ff3.5 ?? [02:36] As a reminder this was a result of changing from ati to nvidia graphics card without removing ati binary drivers first. [02:36] djlenoir: If you're like me, you've probably deleted all the video-drivers you thought you didn't need, right? If so, do "sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-all" to reinstall them. It *MIGHT* solve it. [02:37] where do i permanently change mysqld niceness? [02:37] OttifantSir: worth a try, I will give that a shot now. [02:37] OttifantSir: thanks [02:38] Kalmi: ok, seems to be working fine now! Thanks for the help. I have to setup a few things all over again. I'd love to know what happened and how to avoid it though. [02:38] anyone know of an open source equivalent to Symantec Ghost?

I want to be able to connect to the network with the linksys adapter [02:40] jrib: THanks. :-) Does a supybot also log channel activity? [02:40] OttifantSir: that one already has the right icon, but when you open it it goes back to the other one [02:40] coleys: Please don't do that, it is not helpful. [02:40] TwoToneSpirit: i'm sure it can (they have an irc channel) [02:40] Pici: More helpful then you think =) [02:41] coleys: Not in a support channel. [02:41] Especially in a support channel =o [02:41] Coleys: I have, and the wiki article isn't too explicit [02:41] * Aranel I'm back =) [02:42] Aranel: Please don't do that.

I downloaded a package from Mozilla with it, tried to install it, but I didn't get it right, I know that much. Next time I started FF, it upgraded to 3.5 [02:44] be a human ??

[02:48] coleys: hfsplus [02:48] sorry coleys, im a noob, just installed ubuntu yesterday [02:48] coleys: do i have to install the linksys wifi drivers in ndiswrapper ? [02:48] !hfs [02:48] To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [02:49] Hmm.. ive never seen any tools to 'recover' hfs filesystems/files/repair them [02:49] Martin31: No worries, uhh. System > Administration > Restricted Drivers. [02:49] Martin31: Check to see if there is Broadcom STA or some sort there. === joshthecoder_afk is now known as joshthecoder [02:49] coleys: i dont have that option [02:49] where do i permanently change mysqld niceness? [02:49] coleys: i have hardware drivers [02:49] !version [02:49] To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy » [02:49] coleys: hfsplus thats the file system i have right now [02:50] coleys: and in Hardware Drivers it says Broadcom B43 wireless driver is installed [02:50] m4rt11: Uhh I believe Dr_Willis has more information regarding your situation. [02:50] Martin31: Have you restarted? [02:50] coleys: actually thats about all i know on the topic. My Mac is now a large doorstop.. [02:50] coleys: nope, guess i should try that then, be right back :P [02:50] Dr_Willis: Ubuntu ftw =) [02:50] Martin31: =) [02:50] Martin31: good luck =P Should be quick and easy fix =P [02:51] coleys: hopefull [02:51] Dr_Willis: can you help me with my situation? [02:51] coleys is working super-pace ATM. Someone should give him a relaxing beverage, such as a beer [02:51] m4rt11: i dont use apple machines any more. if the dirve is mounted and you can access some files.. but not all.. its possible they got moved somewhere.. use the find command to 'search' the whold drive perhaps [02:52] I just installed firefox 3.5 with "sudo apt-get install firefox-3.5", hower it doesn`t show up under Applications, Internet... it doesnt seem to replace firefox 3.0.11. What should i do ? Thanks (Im using ubuntu 9.04) [02:52] m4rt11: is this a portable hard drive? (what size) or a flash drive? [02:52] mubu: it does NOT replace 3.0.11 [02:52] !ff35 [02:52] Firefox 3.5 Final is available for Jaunty by installing the package firefox-3.5 | FF3.5 is referred to as Shiretoko on your UI, see http://is.gd/1reB3 for an explanation | Hardy & Intrepid: http://is.gd/1jkNY [02:52] OttifantSir: Got one allready =) Another wouldn't hurt though =! [02:52] does the ubuntu desktop kernel have different patches than the server kernel? maybe preemption is different? [02:52] mubu: and like the bot says the icon name is 'shiretoko' [02:53] coleys: All I got is Carlsberg, will that do? [02:53] its under applictions-> internet here. [02:53] mubu: it does show up, its just not called firefox, for some reason [02:53] OttifantSir: I'll stick with my Canadian ;) [02:53] Dr_Willis, Wow, thanks, thats weird... Shiretoko.. Will, ff 3.5 eventually replace 3.0.11 in jaunty or will we have to wait for the next ubuntu release... ? [02:53] $ firefox --> firefox [02:53] firefox firefox-3.0 firefox-3.5 [02:54] mubu: no idea..im not really worried about it.. If i want FF3.5 i wull launch ff35 [02:54] mubu it wont be offician il janty [02:54] Dr_Willis: the binary name is usually the same, it is just "rebranded" in the app and on your desktop icon [02:54] Dr_Willis: Compile ftw =D [02:54] mubu: for now many of my extensions do NOT work in 3.5 so i am using 3.0.11 [02:54] coleys: thanks, it worked like a charm :) [02:55] Im not sure why everyone is bending over backwards and acting rabbid to get FF3.5 [02:55] Dr_Willis: its a 251gb ext hard drive, and i checked each folder including the hidden ones, i did do the 'find' command under terminal and it pointed out the same folders that i see on the hdd. however when i highlighted everything on nautilus it said its about 92mb when it mentions that theres only 92gb left [02:55] Dr_Willis: it has much better performance [02:55] Martin31: No thanks necessary =p You did it all ... [02:55] Dr_Willis: Firefox 3.5 is still in beta for ubuntu right? [02:55] zaltekk: i cant really tell. [02:55] Dr_Willis, Ill tell you why, porn mode baby! haha just half-kidding [02:55] Yeah, I don't really care about most bleeding edge of firefox, does the same thing =P [02:55] lwells: thats what im hearing. [02:55] i can with windows. i haven't tried it in linux [02:55] lwells: no. Its the final version. [02:55] !ff35 [02:55] Firefox 3.5 Final is available for Jaunty by installing the package firefox-3.5 | FF3.5 is referred to as Shiretoko on your UI, see http://is.gd/1reB3 for an explanation | Hardy & Intrepid: http://is.gd/1jkNY [02:56] lwells: its not in beta [02:56] Dr_Willis: ff35 is much faster than 3.0 in rendering pages [02:56] m4rt11: so you have somehow lost a few 100gb of data? [02:56] * Dr_Willis wonders how one actually benchmarks browser speeds... [02:56] Dr_Willis: excatly [02:56] Hilikus: But you cant just upgrade it [02:56] Firefox 3.0.1 goes plenty fast enough =P [02:57] Dr_Willis: by how long it takes to load /. [02:57] m4rt11: you dont have more then 1 partition do you? This was a drive used on an apple machine? [02:57] lwells: for them technically it's not an upgrade. its a new release [02:57] so you have both in tandem [02:57] no there is no other partition on this, also it was used on an apple machine [02:57] Hilikus: Refering to us =o? [02:57] Hilikus: On my Mac it is an upgrade, it is just so confusing [02:57] hello [02:57] hi, getting Launch helper exited with unknown return code 1 when trying to update packages, anyone ever see this? [02:57] !hi [02:57] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [02:58] lwells: it is confusing and i'm not very happy with ubuntu's decision, but there's nothing we can do [02:58] Hilikus: So that is not going to change in the future? [02:58] i am having trouble loading the .iso i downloaded http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.04/ [02:58] mount keeps failing in windows [02:58] Dr_Willis: no other partition on this and it was used on an apple machine but it cannot mount on it, but it so happened to mount on my ubuntu box [02:58] fission6: Have you verified its integrity using md5sum? [02:58] it will, in koala it will be the default one [02:58] Koala? [02:59] they only upgrade major releases in new releases of ubuntu [02:59] no [02:59] m4rt11: sounds like some filesystem curruption going on. It may be safest to check wht the mac peoples on what filesystem repair tools they have. [02:59] Koala is next version? [02:59] !koala [02:59] Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [02:59] Ahh. [02:59] Dr_Willis: can you direct me to a good irc help chat? [02:59] m4rt11: not really.. try #osx or #apple (i am just guessing) [03:00] where do i permanently change mysqld niceness? [03:00] m4rt11: i have very little love for apple. [03:00] :) [03:00] Dr_Willis: =D [03:00] You make me feel good about not buying one +D [03:01] hello all === sharperguy2 is now known as sharperguy [03:01] hello [03:02] anyone ever see this error code: Launch helper exited with unknown return code 1? [03:02] Hilikus: Try taking a look at this site: http://www.forwardyouth.com/ubuntu/set-the-nice-level-of-an-existing-process/ and adjust the command such that you do mysqld -nice on startup. [03:02] speak spanish ? [03:02] hi, does anybody know about an application like unetbootin but that is not so slow? [03:03] !spaish | InFeCtOrS [03:03] Sorry, I don't know anything about spaish [03:03] !es | InFeCtOrS [03:03] InFeCtOrS: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [03:03] !spanish | InFeCtOrS [03:03] SpacePigeon: pendrivelinux.com has guides on making bootable flash drives from iso's [03:03] this is driving me crazy.... im on jaunty, and everything runs beautifully up until today, when all of my window decorations disappeared. not allowing me to move them nor minimize them. i dont run any desktop effects, and my video is builtin intel g33 [03:03] Dr_Willis, but for windows? [03:03] SpacePigeon: i found unetbootin rather speedy. Expecially when compared to the usb-drive-creator tool in ubuntu [03:03] thanks [03:03] SpacePigeon: check the url.. it has tutorial for window and linux [03:04] SpacePigeon: it took longer to copy over the 'persistant save file' then it todo the 'install' to the flash drive. [03:04] sivel27, could you try starting metacity from a terminal? [03:04] one sec. lemme boot up [03:07] I cant believe Jaunty broke my printer support - I swear I'm installing redhat next time [03:09] hmm, from the term, how do i start metacity? [03:09] sivel27, metacity [03:09] :) [03:09] hmm, not installed [03:10] hmm [03:10] unable to open x display [03:10] is there anyway to get an external USB hard drive to always come up as sdc2 or something after every reboot? [03:11] sivel27: what window manager is running? [03:11] gnome [03:11] !pysqlite [03:11] Sorry, I don't know anything about pysqlite [03:11] duckwars: it depends how many devices you have plugged in [03:12] sivel27: no...wiindow manager...compiz, metacity, ? [03:12] I have 2 devices plugged into 2 seperate USB ports, they aren't splitting a USB port [03:12] sivel27: you should be able to find it in the process list (ps ax) [03:12] duckwars: they're still devices plugged in [03:13] i just had a random reboot...when i look in [03:13] yea [03:13] duckwars, why do you need this? you could use guids in fstab [03:14] duckwars: i'm guessing you have 2 harddrives and 2 USB's plugged in? [03:14] the bootup is raking FOREVER [03:14] taking [03:14] right, in my fstab I have to say /dev/sdd2 ~/Harddrive [03:14] sivel27: your file systems are being checked for errors [03:14] back on my netbook this time. no video after installing nvidia graphics adapter without removing ati binary drivers. have removed the binary drivers now but no video. ubuntu is loading (i think) but the screen stays blank. [03:14] this is normal [03:15] at netroot right now [03:15] djlenoir: try removing all of the binary drivers and then reinstall the nvidia ones [03:15] but the problem is, whenever the computer reboots each hard drive is given a differnt /dev/sd(letter)(#) [03:16] duckwars: use the guids in the fstab as Kalmi said [03:16] zaltekk: is there a cmd to remove all binary drivers? [03:16] then they won't change anymore [03:16] !fstab > duckwars [03:16] duckwars, please see my private message [03:16] duckwars: No, they don't change on reboot.. i've never seen it change on reboot [03:16] zaltekk: did purge fglrx already [03:16] djlenoir: you'll need to use a package management tool to remove them [03:16] zaltekk, zaltekk: sorry... they are called UUID and not guid [03:17] oh.... [03:17] Kalmi: ah, well, similar term :P [03:17] hmm... as far as i can tell, its gnome [03:17] lemme check again [03:17] man, i wish there was just a boot to vga mode with ubuntu... like when it first loads [03:18] djlenoir: uninstall the binary ati drivers and the binary nvidia drivers [03:18] sivel27: you can't run metacity if, for instance, compiz is running. If metacity is running, and you WANT metacity, you can restart it by just killing it, it should restart automatically. [03:18] then install the nvidia ones again [03:18] zaltekk: i will google how to do that [03:19] sivel27: if you don't see either compiz or metacity in the ps ax list, try running metacity with sudo [03:19] djlenoir: there is a "safe graphics" mode on start-up. Google that too, I don't remember how to enable it right now [03:19] OttifantSir: thanks, will google that also [03:19] th0r, he got no window decorations [03:20] yup, that fixed it! thanks, now how do i add it to startup like that? [03:20] Kalmi: right, either he isn't running a window manager or the one he is running is corrupted somehow [03:20] hi [03:20] http://photos-h.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs149.snc1/5560_1024619874317_1789860357_56263_494091_n.jpg [03:20] can someone teach me how to force a compilation to give a resulting binary a certain name? [03:21] someone want to kick/ban erratic ?? [03:21] that definitely deserves it :P [03:21] no ops alive? [03:22] tsk tsk, shame to have that kind of material in a family channel [03:22] :) [03:22] xD you seem happy [03:22] was that a facebook link? [03:22] nope [03:23] Is chromium available in a deb package? [03:23] mikael79_, ppa [03:23] Mike_lifeguard, ^^ [03:24] billybigrigger: sure, but which one? I've never been able to find a sensible way to search for ppas :\ [03:24] i've just gotten into them in the karmic dev cycle myself [03:24] i just look to see which one looks most active, or have them sent to me from other people [03:25] damn that was a nasty link from erratic [03:25] :/ [03:25] what is the difference between pulse-audio and alsa? [03:25] sivel27: this link is for changing metacity to xfwm, but it tells you what file to edit and what to change.....http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=88393 [03:25] Mike_lifeguard, PPA for Ubuntu Chromium Daily Builds Ubuntu daily builds of the Chromium browser.

[03:26] billybigrigger: thanks; mind adding a !chrome factoid with alias !chromium? [03:26] not sure how :P [03:26] excellent, thanks everyone [03:26] Mike_lifeguard, you want to? you seem to know more about ubotu factoids :P [03:27] k [03:27] !package postnews [03:27] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [03:27] !info postnews [03:27] postnews (source: postnews): Post Usenet articles via NNTP from the command line.

I'm having a problem installing: Got this error when installing from the repository, using Ubuntu 9.04 amd64: "Unable to find a precompiled module for the current kernel!" How can I fix this? [03:30] billybigrigger: ahh i see [03:30] Isn't Chromium the only incarnation of Chrome avail on Linux now anyway? [03:30] sorry, "the repository" is the virtualbox private repository, not multiverse [03:30] Maybe Chrome Dev has been packaged [03:30] Guiri: yes.. and it's shaping up pretty well [03:30] Anybody on getting beagle/tracker without gnome reqs? Should I just compile the damned thing? [03:30] heya Peeps, anyone get an iPhone to link up to ubuntu? any luck with emulators Red Wine + itunes? [03:31] Let me rephrase, anyone using kernel 2.6.30 and ati hd4800 series gpu, if your are, how did you compile the drivers [03:31] Hey everyone. I had a quick question. I would like to install Ubuntu on an older mac laptop (an iBook G4). Which version of Ubuntu is best to install? [03:31] twois10: Yes, much better question. [03:32] DecioGaeta: YellowDog Linux maybe, Ubuntu maybe, and so it goeso n [03:32] Guiri, Chromium is an open source browser project. Google Chrome is a browser from Google, based on the Chromium project.This is a build of Chromium. No versions of Google Chrome for Linux will exist until Google makes an official release. [03:32] causasui: Think I had this happen once. Details of the error msg said to reinstall, I did, it worked. [03:32] DecioGaeta: on older hw you might want to consider xubuntu [03:32] KR8L: The error tells me to "install a kernel module" [03:32] DecioGaeta: how much RAM? [03:32] xubuntu? [03:32] and 512 MB of RAM. [03:32] !ubuntu | DecioGaeta [03:32] DecioGaeta: Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com [03:32] :( [03:33] DecioGaeta: ok you don't need Xubuntu and that's just a cut down version of Gnome anyway pretty much [03:33] DecioGaeta: ubuntu with xfce instead of gnome or kde [03:33] !xubuntu | DecioGaeta [03:33] DecioGaeta: Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME.

[03:33] quick question, i have a Dell Latitude D620 and the entire left side runs very hot running Ubuntu, is there any way i can force the fans to highspeed and keep then there? [03:33] that was my first question [03:33] Thank in advance everyone. [03:33] th0r: DecioGaeta for less than 512MB RAM, or less than 256MB RAM, I would say Puppy Linux [03:33] does ubuntu come with an ftp program by default? [03:33] What's the package for epiphany called? [03:33] I'm just curious which versions/releases would be best as well. [03:33] Does it matter? [03:34] th0r DecioGaeta less than 256MB RAM, and Puppy Linux ype [03:34] Mike_lifeguard, epiphany-browser [03:34] Cause the distro has to be compatible with the chipset, correct? [03:34] DecioGaeta: there is no such thing as a best Linux distribution [03:34] DecioGaeta: or a best anything [03:34] Kalmi: thanks [03:34] !poll [03:34] 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. [03:34] sebsebseb: I was thinking more about the video and cpu than the ram [03:34] Ok. Thanks everyone. [03:34] hello all [03:35] DecioGaeta: http://www.distrowatch.com is a good website for finding out about the distros, and there are also at least two good Linux distribution chooser quizes online, that help you pick a distro [03:35] i am having a problem with my install [03:35] causasui: Sorry, I don't recall any other details, and don't have VB on this computer. [03:35] !details | thatscottfoster [03:35] thatscottfoster: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [03:35] !question | thatscottfoster [03:35] thatscottfoster: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [03:35] :) [03:36] how can I, from terminal, make the gui startup? [03:36] DecioGaeta: Compare it with cars. Which is the "best" car? I love the '74 Carrera Slant Nose, someone loves the Hummer, someone the Suburban, someone the Smart, and so on and so on. The "best" would be the car that fills your need and driving habits. As such, there is no ONE "best" car, but MANY "best car". [03:36] does the ubuntu desktop kernel have different patches than the server kernel? maybe preemption is different? [03:36] duckwars: type startx [03:37] thing is, I'm remotely logged in, and I need it to actually put the desktop image on the monitor [03:37] zaltekk: I don't know, but the server kernel is better for servers, such like the netbook one is better for netbooks, and just like the desktop one is better for desktops [03:37] just runnign startx doesn't do that [03:37] well i installed the new version of ubuntu about an hour ago and ran all of the updates and towars the end of the list the cpu restarted and now i am at the command screenand it will not start up [03:37] zaltekk: Desktop Linux as they call it being both desktops and lap tops that aren't netbooks [03:37] whats a good hosting site .. im about to delete this windows but i have to backup some files [03:38] macman_: if you want a _real_ hosting site, try nearlyfrespeech.net [03:38] it is very cheap(cost-wise) [03:38] duckwars: you need to use a vncserver, did you install one? [03:38] zaltekk: such like, just like, above [03:38] duckwars: you aren't going to be able to do that via ssh unless you have an X server on the ssh-client's system [03:38] free hosting [03:38] sebsebseb: that oesn't tell me much.. [03:38] anyone use tovid? [03:38] sebsebseb: i wouldnt agree netbook kernels are not necessarilly good for netbooks especially if you use reiserfs for example [03:39] th0r: that's the thing, I want to be able to start a vncviewer so I can control the desktop, but it won't let me unless the actually desktop is showing on the realy physical monitor [03:39] macman_: you could always use rapidshare or such [03:39] i am getting an error that it can't find encded.mpg. [03:39] anyone able to compile ati drivers, fglrx with kernel 2.6.30 yet? [03:39] blackest_knight: right well I don't have a netbook, but what I do know is that hardly anyone uses that file system on a netbook [03:39] zaltekk im about to wipe windows .. i jsut want to upload 5 files that are zipped so when i wipe i can go to the website and just retrive them [03:39] duckwars: you start the vncserver on the remote machine with 'vncserver:1' and then you should be able to get in on port 5801 or 5901 [03:39] duckwars: use ssh duckwars@yourserver -X [03:40] macman_, how does this relate to Ubuntu [03:40] bazhang im going to put ubuntu onto this computer [03:40] ok, i think i removed all the binary drivers but i think my xorg.conf file is not right. my vdieo card is seen as device0 and driver was nvidia but i manually changed it to nv. still did not help though. [03:40] i want to backup whats on there right now [03:40] blackest_knight: can you fetch the entire desktop via X forwarding? I only used it for individual windows [03:40] sebsebseb: I do i also use nano which someone thought was good to drop from netbook version as wel [03:40] macman_, that is offtopic here. please ask elsewhere [03:40] blackest_knight: really it's not in the netbook version [03:41] ? [03:41] is there a way to manually create xorg.conf file? [03:41] hey guys, I'm having some trouble with opening my ports and Transmission. I went into my router configuration using my default IP in my browser and opened both the listening port and the browsing port but it still says its closed. is there anything else I have to do? [03:41] macman_: again, you could use rapidshare. [03:42] macman_: www.adrive.com [03:42] blackest_knight: well I used to use shut down and log out in the system menu, really happily since the second release of Ubuntu in 2005, but also in Fedora Core 2 and 4 in 2004, but then they thought it would be a great idea to remove those and have only the thing on the top right of the panel [03:42] sebsebseb: it was dropped out the version i tried i just use std desktop ubuntu now , just like i used on my 1.4 celeron laptop with 756meg , on my 1.6 1.5 gig netbook [03:43] thatscottfoster: did you upgrade from command line, or did you reinstall? Can you explain more detail? What error is showing when it didn't start properly? [03:43] djlenoir, did you remove the nvidia driver? [03:43] blackest_knight: nano dropped in netbook version that's a bit odd I think, since it's just a command line app [03:44] djlenoir: you probably want to create the xorg.conf file by running "X -configure" as root [03:44] i think i did, i ran sudo apt-get remove fglrx [03:44] fglrx is not the nvidia driver [03:44] djlenoir, that is for ati what video card do you have [03:44] sebsebseb: it was just an apt-get away but the reiserfs support that needed a new kernel [03:44] is there a way to restart the sound system? [03:44] Or do I have to restart X [03:45] ctmjr: i believe he just changed out with ati card for an nvidia card. he said that he installed the nvidia binary drivers without first removing the ati binary drivers, and is having problems getting X started [03:45] what he needs to do is remove both and then reinstall the nvidia ones [03:45] histo, kill pulseaudio and than start it in a terminal [03:45] *then [03:45] ctmjr: i have an nvidia card now. i originally had an ati card and did not remove the binary drivers first. thought that cmd removed them manually. [03:46] zaltekk, ouch yes i believe your correct [03:46] Do I need a special lib or something to open split rar files? [03:46] alguem aqui de joao pessoa? [03:47] !es Z| hermano__ [03:47] Sorry, I don't know anything about es Z [03:47] Everytime I open a rar file it'll extract for awhile [03:47] then fails [03:47] !es | hermano__ [03:47] hermano__: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [03:47] and I've downloaded the files 2 times now [03:47] ii was using nano to look at my xorg.conf file and i don't think it is right. [03:47] alguem aqui fala portugues? [03:47] !pr | hermano__ [03:47] Sorry, I don't know anything about pr [03:47] brasil [03:47] djlenoir, how did you install the ati driver and the nvidia driver [03:47] sephy: no, what failure? [03:47] djlenoir: did you generate one with "X -configure"? [03:47] !br | hermano__ [03:47] hermano__: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [03:47] When I type: mysql -u root into terminal i get this error: "Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) [03:48] !br [03:48] It's always a CRC failure, Jeruvy [03:48] #ubuntu-br [03:48] ctmjr: downloading the ati file from ati.amd.com and running it basically. [03:48] Kalmi: pulseaudio isn't runnning and there is no pulseaudio [03:48] sephy: then something is happening to the file during download that is corrupting them. the only option is to delete and try again [03:48] como entro no canal brasileiro [03:48] GAH [03:48] ok [03:48] sephy: if you have a split rar and try to extract just one part of the split, you will get CRC errors on the files that spand past the beginning or ending of the split file [03:48] ctmjr: downloading the ati file from ati.amd.com and running it basically./ [03:48] sephy: or the rar is corrupt to begin with [03:48] histo, what are you trying to restart than? [03:49] sephy: Is it rar-files with extensions like .part1, .part2, etc? If so, there's usually one with an extension of .rar you should open and extract from, then it will do the the rest as follows [03:49] then how can I extract them both so i dont get the crc failed.. [03:49] zaltekk: you mean running sudo dpkg-config xserver-xorg? [03:49] histo, restarting X won't restart ALSA [03:49] Kalmi: I'm trying to get my sound working again with out restarting the whole machine. [03:49] no djlenoir [03:49] i mean to run [03:49] X -configure [03:49] hi [03:49] hey guys, how do I install only one package from ubuntu proposed (ff3.5) [03:50] histo, try this: sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart [03:50] stop your X server, and run that command as root [03:50] how do i mount a drive forcing it to be read-write instead of read-only? I can see no switch on the drive to choose between [03:50] s0325.part1of2.rar and s0325.part2of2.rar [03:50] i don't want to enable the entire repos, only install firefox3.5 [03:50] zaltekk: trying that now [03:50] sephy: the compress tool is smart enough to seek out the proper files, so the error is telling you something is missing [03:50] m0u5e: via synaptic [03:50] enabled the repo, install the package, disable the repot [03:50] sephy: usually split rars are named .rar and .rXX [03:50] repo even [03:50] th0r: but wont i have to enable to repository? [03:50] m0u5e: enable it, install the package, then disable the repo [03:50] tsimpson: theres no easy way? like downloading the package from the web? [03:50] m0u5e: yup, proposed [03:51] Kalmi: thanks worked like a chram. [03:51] charm [03:51] Im way annoyyed... It's 1.1gb and I've downloaded it twice [03:51] to try and fix it [03:51] th0r do you know the url? [03:51] m0u5e: not unless you want to resolve all the dependencies manually [03:51] sephy: rename them properly [03:51] sephy: been there. Best to try a different source. [03:51] if it is a real split archive, it won't be detected in that way [03:51] m0u5e: proposed is in the list in synaptic if i remember right [03:51] zaltekk: it ran and i ran X using the .new file that was created. now i have a blinking cursor in top left corner. [03:51] how exactly should I rename them? [03:51] okay. just press Ctrl+Alt+BackSpace [03:52] then type mv /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf [03:52] sephy: The first one should be .rar , the second one should be .r01 [03:52] then as a normal user type startx [03:52] Hey guys, I'm getting an error when I type: mysql -u root into terminal, the error reads: ERROR 1045 (2800): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) [03:52] zaltekk: ok will do that [03:52] ok. ill try this [03:52] !dontzap [03:52] To re-enable the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace combination that restarts your X server, you can install the "dontzap" package and use the command « sudo dontzap --disable ». The combination Alt+SysRq+K can also be used to obtain a similar effect. [03:52] m0u5e: look under updates in synaptic [03:52] hello [03:52] I have a problem... [03:53] th0r: list? [03:53] sephy: like OttifantSir said. and with the name before the .rar and .rXX being the same [03:53] as in a.rar and a.r01 [03:53] !ask | paul____ [03:53] paul____: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [03:53] th0r: do i need to enable jaunty-proposed to do this? [03:53] extracting... -crosses fingers- [03:54] m0u5e: I think that is where it is.... [03:54] zaltekk, if he installed the drivers from the ati web site he needs to uninstall them with their uninstall script [03:54] !ff35 [03:54] Firefox 3.5 Final is available for Jaunty by installing the package firefox-3.5 | FF3.5 is referred to as Shiretoko on your UI, see http://is.gd/1reB3 for an explanation | Hardy & Intrepid: http://is.gd/1jkNY [03:54] oh okay sorry I'm not getting audio on crunchbang linux. I know it's not exactly ubuntu but it's based on ubuntu so I'm wondering if you guys could help me out [03:54] Hey is there another channel to get help with Ubuntu I don't think anyone here knows the answer to my question. [03:54] hey guys, can anyone tell me what the white x on an icon in the file browser mean? [03:54] ctmjr: correct. the package management tools will only remove pacakges they installed [03:54] paul____, you should ask in crunchbang channels or forums [03:55] 7-Zip 4.58 beta Copyright (c) 1999-2008 Igor Pavlov 2008-05-05 [03:55] p7zip Version 4.58 (locale=en_US.UTF-8,Utf16=on,HugeFiles=on,1 CPU) [03:55] when i click firefox, it will startup FF3.1 i want 3.5 to be my primary browser [03:55] Processing archive: /home/sephy/Desktop/s0325.rar [03:55] Extracting SAK_SETUP0325.exe CRC Failed [03:55] Sub items Errors: 1 [03:55] sephy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:55] jared__, what question [03:55] alrighty then. [03:56] zaltekk, i must have joined in the middle of you helping him sorry [03:56] ctmjr: i told him in general what to do, and i think he tried something and then came back. [03:56] Bazhang, when I type "mysql -u root" into terminal. I get the following error: ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) [03:56] ok, did that and rebooted but it looks like black screen still. i appreciate the help you guys are giving me. wife needs me now, bbiab [03:56] I am relatively certain that for whatever reason, it's letting me sudo as root without a password [03:56] Galeon, Kazehakase, Firefox, and Seamonkey all crash after an hour or so... and its anying >.< [03:56] and this is causing me to not have access [03:57] hmm so firefox 3.5 isn't even in jaunty-proposed [03:57] I need to be able to put my password in for my temporary root session instead having it just let me do it with no password [03:57] when i run airoscript it tells me that airodump isn't available even though i installed aircrack-ng [03:57] jared__: i think ubuntu disables the root account and as such doesn't have a password for root. although i'm not 100% sure what they actually do. [03:57] !root [03:57] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [03:57] I currently do have a password set so I don't know how it's even possible that it's bypassing the need of a password when i type "sudo -i", it used to require one [03:57] you might want to google how to fix the root account and see if that fixes your problem [03:58] Well earlier when I did it (like earlier today) [03:58] jared__: that is controlled by the sudoers file [03:58] it did require a password [03:58] jared__, what you are lookijng for is "sudo -s" [03:58] sudo -i and sudo -s are similar in function [03:58] it determines if you need an sudo password, if that password is the root password or your user password, and for how long you can go without having to retype the password [03:58] Wow.... [03:59] Ok, so all those time it fails [03:59] to I install winrar under wine [03:59] and it extracted just fine [03:59] I can't seem to get the wireless card to work [03:59] !enter | sephy [03:59] sephy: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [03:59] sephy: there is a rar program for linux from rarsoft(who makes winrar) [03:59] would the fact that i don't currently need to type the password matter [03:59] It's a d-link dwa-130 [03:59] as far as access goes [03:59] jared__: that would depend on _why_ you don't have to type in the password [03:59] I don't understand why I am denied access as 'root'@'localhost' I mean it seems like i should have the privelages [04:00] didn't it tell you the password was the reason? [04:00] ok, did that and rebooted but it looks like black screen still. i appreciate the help you guys are giving me. wife needs me now :P [04:00] That's my opinion of the error message [04:00] Strange. I have had problems with files in WinRAR, but they've opened in archive-manager [04:00] darn this netbook can be irritating at times... weird key layout [04:01] jared__: also, if you provide a password for sudo/gksudo, it will remember it for a time - that's configurable somehow [04:01] jared_: google: mysql ubuntu root password [04:01] meant to say back, didn't want to irritate the wife because i would never get my video fixed [04:01] Does anyone know of a way I could get my wireless card to work? [04:02] !wifi | poseidon [04:02] poseidon: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [04:02] I am using the latest ubutu, how can I tell how much hard drive space I have left on my linux partition? [04:02] fdisk -l [04:02] poseidon: ndiswrapper madwifi ect [04:03] TheNewGuy1: Open your home folder and look at the lower status line. Usually says how much space is left [04:03] ctmjr: i saw you mention that i needed to remove the ati drivers. can that be done from a command prompt or is the purge fglrx enough? [04:03] TheNewGuy1: fdisk -l (thats an L) or just open your Home dir and check the status bar at the bottom of nautilus [04:03] What is fdisk-L? [04:03] do I type that in terminal? [04:04] TheNewGuy1: Depends upon what you're attempting to destroy. :) [04:04] fdisk -l, not fdisk-L [04:04] TheNewGuy1: fdis -l (case sensative) is a command to put into terminal the reports trhe free space availible on your partitions [04:04] =-O [04:04] djlenoir, no not if you installed from the ati web site you need to cd /user/share/ati then sudo sh ./fglrx-uninstall.sh === slaytani1 is now known as slaytanic === redsoxking is now known as Mr [04:05] UM.... fdisk in windows formats the drive... you guys messing with me? :-( [04:05] TheNewGuy1: Just open Places -> Homefolder and check the status line at the bottom === Mr is now known as redsoxking [04:06] ok, so fdisk-l will reformat the disk? [04:06] No === w4ett-AWAY is now known as El_Presidente === El_Presidente is now known as w4ett [04:06] gartral, it's sudo fdisk -l. and it shows you the partition table. df -h will show you free space. [04:07] TheNewGuy1: It will list your drives and partitions. Open Places -> Homefolder and check the status line at the bottom of the windows [04:07] TheNewGuy1, no i wont [04:07] TheNewGuy1, it won't. [04:07] ctmjr: hmm, so this is why open source is preferred :P [04:07] ok, thnaks... I guess [04:08] djlenoir, did you remove it? [04:08] Just so you guys know the solution to my error issue is to tyoe mysql - u root -p to force a prompt for a password [04:08] working on it now [04:08] jared__, yes [04:09] whats a good webcam monitoring program? I tried to use cheese to basically monitor but it freezes the camera after awhile [04:09] TheNewGuy1: 'df' will show free space.. [04:09] one with a gui and alerts or something [04:09] next question. I need to run - cough, joke, cough - internet explorer.... man I hate saying that... but I gotta run it for a specific website. How can I do that with linux?

[04:11] jared__, read that "Note" part too [04:11] digitalfiz: I haven't seen anything worthwhile yet, but if you dig up something let me know. [04:11] djlenoir, ok did you install any nvidia drivers and if so how?

If you have not logged out yourself, this could mean that there is some installation problem or that you may be out of disk space. Try logging in with one of the failsafe sessions to see if you can fix this problem." [04:16] it is a ubuntu solution, but its not in the repo [04:16] felix_, that is not necessary.

Thanks for the help. [04:18] what directory is java installed? [04:18] how do I tell apt to not upgrade/install a version of a package? IE don't install any xorg greater than 7.0.11 [04:18] kyja: /usr/lib/java [04:18] TheNewGuy1: cheers :) [04:18] djlenoir, do you have a login screen or does it login automatically? [04:18] I meant to say that I am down loading wine. [04:18] I know this is going to be a stupid question, but I'm having some difficulty locating a package. It contained a small wallpaper switching app for a minimal system. I believe that the name was an element... Can anyone help me out? [04:18] thank you johnjay [04:18] ctmjr: i have a login screen [04:19] I'm attempting to run an .exe in wine, and I'm getting "Unable to find a volume for file extraction. Please verify that you have the proper permissions" [04:19] johnjay: right-click the package and mark lock version [04:19] Kinda like hsetroot, or wallp [04:19] .wine and all recursive directories are owned by me [04:19] thanks jeruvy, you kitchen and gartral rock! [04:19] johnjay: or for force version if it's already installed a higher version, and choose the one you want [04:20] djlenoir, there should be a option or session tab look for failsafe gnome and see if that works [04:20] anomoly: is your disk full? === hunt_ is now known as huntxu [04:20] johnjay: Ooopppsss... That's Synaptic, not apt directly [04:20] anomoly, I know that WoW does that if the installer is run from the disk. Try putting the installer on the volume that you want to install to. [04:20] anyone hear use sea horse web browser? is it any good? better then firefox? thanks [04:20] anomoly, try google: Unable to find a volume for file extraction wine [04:20] ctmjr: unfortunately, the pc was locked with that msg so i rebooted into recovery mode again [04:20] TheNewGuy1, You mean Seamonkey? [04:21] Kalmi: I've done some searches but everything I saw just mentioned file permissions. [04:21] LOL... yes... sorry I am down loading Wine and I think I am getting a little tipsy. [04:21] gartral: no, the disk isn't full [04:21] anomoly: You have to configure wine [04:21] OttifantSir: right but there must be an underlying apt aspect to it? [04:22] trevor: I've found many a custom script but this is the documentation, maybe something will put you on the right path: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy [04:22] Ottifantsir: as in run winecfg? I looked at that but didn't see any thing for permissions [04:22] seaMonkey [04:22] OttifantSir: not so, basic disks should be laid out by default... anomoly even with that being said, go to Applications>Wine>Configure and have a look at your Disks tab [04:22] anomoly, the first hit for me suggests using the latest wine (which works for him) and/or winetricks to install idunnowhat [04:23] anomoly, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=966848 [04:23] TheNewGuy1, Seamonkey is just the new open source version of the Mozilla suite. If you want a single application that has a web browser, email client, chat client, and web page creator, then you might want to go with it. I recommend the Beta for 2 if you can use it though, as it sports a more recent build of Gecko. [04:23] thanks Trev [04:24] TheNewGuy1, [04:24] ok, I got wine, should I manualy install it? [04:24] TheNewGuy1, You're welcome! :D [04:24] TheNewGuy1: you'll have to either add a PPA repository, or compile it yourself though [04:24] johnjay: Synaptic is a graphical frontend to apt. It just seemed to me that with X in question and you asking about apt, you might be stuck in terminal, and then I couldn't have helped you. If you can get to Synaptic, that's the easiest way to do it [04:24] um... never compliled.. my have to save that for another day. [04:24] djlenoir, i have had that error but it was from tweaking my window manager the wrong way, let me google and see if i can find out something [04:24] TheNewGuy1: why arent you using sudo aptitude install wine? [04:25] Jeruvy, Thanks for the link. I think that I'm skipping the part that I'm building the desktop from a CLI. I've found the package before, but cannot remember the name for the life of me... [04:25] Jeruvy, Which is silly, cause I'm 99% sure that it's the name of an element [04:25] Kalmi: ok, I'll check out the link. I'm running the latest version but I'll take a look at winetricks [04:25] trevor: I'd be glad to know also, I couldn't find anything specific unfortunately :( [04:25] Gartral.... um... what? I just down loaded wine via synaptic. was that wrong? [04:25] Jeruvy, Give me a few minutes, and a periodic table, and I'll come back with an answer... [04:25] ctmjr: thank you for your help. i don't want you to have to spend more time with me than you have already. i can just wipe and reload it to save everyone trouble. just have to reinstall a bunch of stuff. [04:26] trevor: Element as in the 4 elements, or element as in the periodic table? [04:26] TheNewGuy1: ohh, no, I though you meant you downloaded the source from winehq ;) nvm me === chakku_ is now known as ck311 [04:26] OttifantSir, Periodic Table.... Am I crazy? [04:26] eeeewwww that sounds messy. nope.. I a NOOB. [04:26] trevor: no, there is a periodic table app called something like that iirc. [04:27] OK, I got WINE. down loaded... now what? [04:27] OttifantSir: apt-get hold [04:27] anomoly, by latest you mean wine-1.1.25? [04:27] Jeruvy, OttifantSir FOUND IT! Nitrogen! [04:27] TheNewGuy1: if your using synaptic, then it already installed as well [04:27] in case you all have any doubts - I've decided to downgrade to Intrepid, I've tried to get Jaunty to do just what Intrepid did, and it SUCKSASS, so screw it, back to Intrepid. [04:27] I swear, I can be an idiot sometimes! [04:27] trevor: with the 4 elements it would have been easier to come up with suggestions. GOOD FOR YOU!! [04:27] trevor: welcome too the Human Condition ;) [04:27] cool. does it need to be configured? [04:27] djlenoir, it's not a problem you can reinstall if you want but i am curious as to why you get that error [04:27] rythmbox wont play mp3's [04:28] I upgraded from Ubuntu 8.04 to the latest [released] version, and now wireless doesn't work. I can use iwlist to find wireless networks, iwconfig to choose settings, but when I use dhclient to obtain an IP address, there's never a dhcp response === chakku is now known as ck311 [04:28] er my bad its a java tool...http://www.gnu.org/software/kawa/api/gnu/kawa/xml/KElement.html [04:28] it wont play my podcasts either === ck311 is now known as chakku [04:28] everything worked fine before I upgraded [04:28] ctmjr: i will stick to it if you are willing [04:28] and fspot is messing up [04:28] TheNewGuy1: it shouldn't unless you want ies4linux, winetricks, or some other "special" function [04:28] needhelp1: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [04:28] um... what is ies4linux? and what is winetricks? [04:29] OttifantSir: i installed amarok [04:29] OttifantSir: that should work right?

Use Firefox! [04:29] !winetricks | TheNewGuy1 [04:29] Sorry, I don't know anything about winetricks [04:30] TheNewGuy1: winetricks is a script that automatically grabs a few redistributable packages for windows, and installs them too wine (it has been known to both add, and break functionality in the past) [04:30] Sorry about that... I'm just trying to throw together a cookbook recipe for a simple desktop starting with X and JWM, and any small applications that a user may need... [04:31] trevor http://www.linuxtoday.com/infrastructure/2008120303335OSDTSW [04:31] gart, why would I want it? [04:31] Kalmi: no, I don't have the dev release, just the stable. [04:31] needhelp1: Still doesn't have MP3-support because MP3 is a proprietary format. You need to install ubuntu-restricted-extras, or kubuntu-* or xubuntu-* depending on what you use [04:31] TheNewGuy1: winetricks allows you too run *some* games for Windows labeled games... beyond that, I've never found a viable use for it [04:31] Kalmi: I see on that link that it looks like he got the dev. I'll have to check try that [04:32] anomoly, good luck, bb [04:32] ok, thanks.. I'll pass on that. [04:32] trevor: oh i see you found it already [04:32] legend2440, That's it right there! I've used it before... Had a REALLY underpowered desktop that I was using full time, so I figured out a couple of apps that are very good on very low end systems... [04:32] TheNewGuy1: ok.. so all that's left is too try out a windows based program in wine :) [04:32] ok, going to try ies4linux. [04:33] billybigrigger: how is launch speed for minefield?

So, I'm making a cookbook for stuff like this in the future... It's something I need to get into the habit of...

[04:34] needhelp1: There's really nothing IN the restricted package. It's more like a script, installing the codecs for the proprietary formats.

It installs even more support. === jmoncayo_ is now known as jmoncayo [04:35] billybigrigger: wish more apps launched like that... transmission is pretty quick to launch too, but i prefer deluge [04:35] me too [04:35] billybigrigger: and breaks my heart that deluge isn't that quick =] [04:35] needhelp1: the ubuntu-restricted package is a metapackage that " [04:35] ubuntu 8.10 uses kdm, gdm, xdm?

[04:44] what happens if i add a custom repo to install something new that's not available in the ubuntu repos and in the future it gets added to the repos, what will ubuntu do? [04:44] Hilikus: If the version in the custom repo is newer than the one in the official repos, that one will be used. And the other way around. But usually it's a higher version in a custom repo. [04:44] thanks clipad! [04:44] bullgard4, hi, im the guy you spoke to yesterday about the wacom device; could you help me configure it (it already works just not the right way) [04:44] does this video open for anyone? http://www.thefrozencanuck.ca/burnout.avi [04:44] OttifantSir, Please do NOT recommend that here.

[04:45] TheNewGuy1: a virtual machine, look up vmware player, it's free, you can do it, google is your friend [04:45] i forgot how to open the rpm files can someone help? [04:45] OttifantSir: i know, but in 6 months were my current version gets to the official repo, will ubuntu try to update it to the same version, or in 1 year when an even newer version makes it to the official repo, cause AFAIK the versioning scheme in ubuntu is different so how would it know really what a newer version is? [04:46] Im afraid that it wont boot when I do the swaping [04:46] do I use that with wine? [04:46] Hilikus, do not run that script [04:46] bazhang: what script?? [04:47] Hilikus: I will PM you with this. No more in official channel about un-official updates. I've been warned, now you've been warned.

[04:48] OttifantSir, don't offer that script as a solution in #ubuntu . Thanks. [04:48] bazhang: what script are you talking about??? [04:48] bullgard4, :( k, thanks anyways, im just so desperate because nobody in 3 forums is answering or in irc channels [04:48] Specto.. that was the coolest thing ! wow, you did that fast. WOW! [04:48] TheNewGuy1: No, not 'just'. You'll need to install wine. A complicated procedure. [04:49] i got wine, and synaptic downloaded it and installed it.

[04:51] #ubuntu-offtopic [04:51] jmoncayo: ACCEPT isn't a valid target for one, there are other errors in the iptables commands, you should look at reviewing this (whether this is ubuntu specific I'm not certain I don't play with iptables at this level). [04:51] :/ [04:51] Hilikus: ooohhh ok. thanks! [04:52] rgrasell: np [04:52] OK, I may have a simple solution. Anyone know why my nework card stopped working in windows after I installed ubutu? works fine for uutu, but will not work for windows 98 and it worked fine before I did the ubutu install. if I could fix that, i would be golden.

[04:53] lenswipe: privaliges are delegated by the owner and access of the particular file [04:53] bullgard4, thanks [04:54] sorry.. I have xp [04:54] specto, right, so how do i check if apache has exec on my /var/www [04:54] is there an issue with applications not recognising internet connection that was not configured via network manager [04:54] _ged: I followed what I read yesterday, and simply copy-moved gnome-panel from /usr/bin to a folder in my home-folder. If I want it back, I'll copy-move it back to /usr/bin.

[04:55] i can always google my problems [04:55] linux, have you first checked in hardware drivers? how new is the card [04:55] Hilikus: why does it have beta tag? [04:55] except this one!!! [04:55] rgrasell: where?? [04:55] sup guys [04:56] TheNewGuy1: Ubuntu support here not Windows support, with an exception of setting up dual boots. Windows issues take them to ##windows [04:56] The computer i've had a few years now [04:56] Hilikus: in the application menu. its called a beta. and when you run it it says beta too [04:56] rgrasell: did you update the repos before installing it? [04:56] Is it possible to do something like apt-get upgrade that will only touch packages with security updates? [04:56] _ged: I did something dangerous, and used Nautilus as superuser. sudo mv /usr/bin/gnome-panel /backup/folder is preferred [04:56] The system is newer and worked fine until I loaded ubutu. now i cant get the net card working in windows but works fine in linux. [04:56] <_ged> OttifantSir: well, just as u said, its in the /usr/bin ^_^ thanks thanks [04:56] Hilikus: let me check... [04:56] rgrasell: apt-get update [04:56] anyone here running xubuntu 9.04?? [04:56] TheNewGuy1: I think ##windows and even ##hardware are better channels for your issue [04:57] * specto falls asleep.... zZzZzZzZ (goodnight) [04:57] Sometimes, my windows dissappear when i click on them. only way to get them back is, i change desktops, then they reappear. NOW... they are sitting there in the window, title bar JUST out of screen. i cannt click on it to move them. so i THEN have ot right click on window in "task bar" and choose move and move with keyboard until windows becomes normal again. any suggestions to fix this? try googling that!@! [04:57] are you telling me now one has had this problem? [04:57] Kreator, please ask a question to the channel [04:57] Can anyone help me, I can't run "startx" without being root... [04:58] Guest48544: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=25151 [04:58] i tried them, they said that since is begain when I installed ubutu it a ubutu problem. [04:58] banzang: am i right to say most downloads for ubuntu are good for deb but not rpm? [04:58] any takers on my problem? slight annoyance [04:59] linux, correct. you should install from Ubuntu repositories, and not 3rd party websites. [04:59] :'( [04:59] Hilikus: its still called shiretoko. not beta though :) so its jus ta re-branding? [04:59] TheNewGuy1: I have read something about hardware and then Internet not working in Ubuntu, but working in Windows, or whatever [04:59] TheNewGuy1: ,but not the other way round [04:59] banzang ok thanks i see if i can find another download in deb or something for ubuntu [05:00] linux, how old is the card [05:00] yea... actually it is the other way around. [05:00] rgrasell, i take it you're also having fun with the rather quirky FF 3.5 in the repositories [05:00] I saw something on it to, but can't find the post again. it was from ubutu. [05:00] rgrasell: you got it. it's not beta but its rebranded cause the official ff for jaunty is 3.0 [05:00] banzang: maybe 5 to 10 years (i think) [05:00] TheNewGuy1: Ubuntu is just one of many Linux distributions, and for your particular issue you may even get some good help in ##linux [05:01] linux, then the open source driver is what you need. [05:01] Geoffrey2: quirky? all I see is a different name :P [05:01] ok, thank [05:01] and different icon [05:01] TheNewGuy1: ok good luck [05:01] the icon in killing me, i keep not finding my browser [05:01] bazhang thanks [05:01] no bios incompatiblity issues known with ubuntu out there? [05:01] lol I know. im just gonna change the menu entry to make it the firefox icon :P [05:02] rgrasell, my install didn't leave me with any means of launching it, i had to drop to command line and manually rebuild all the links [05:02] linux, the proprietary driver for ati won't support that card most likely, and fglrx for ati right now is not good [05:02] Geoffrey2: me too, but the icon is still the weird one [05:02] Geoffrey2: really? mine didn't either, but when I checked the menu a few minutes later it was there as shiretoko web browser [05:02] Hilikus, the earth instead of the familiar fox logo [05:03] yes [05:03] michta35: well thats not a very good question. Since the kernel will be the most affected, you should look at linux for issues, ubuntu is just built on that :) [05:03] is there an AMD-64 version of skype? [05:03] Every distro but debian based ones work on both the servers mobos so far [05:03] linux mint and ubuntu get same errors [05:03] How do I change X permissions? [05:04] I changed from Windows to Ubuntu this morning, at that time I didnt know about lamp. I have version 8.04LTS and have apache installed and working. What mysql package do I dl for install ? [05:04] michta35: again, that doesn't mean much...if your mobo's need non debian distro's aka ubuntu then stick with them, whats the question? [05:05] !lamp | robertr994 [05:05] robertr994: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [05:06] well Im past that, installed apache already. I just need to know what format of mysql do install [05:06] I still dont know anything about Linux lol [05:06] do keep in mind, LAMP is a great educational and developmental tool, but it's not really suited for a server that's going live..... [05:07] my server is already live [05:07] <_ged> thanks for the help about the gnome-panel thing ^_^ [05:07] looking at the mysql site, Im unsure what package to install [05:08] s [05:08] robertr994: use apt-get or synaptic to install mysql.

[05:10] see lots of code [05:10] firewall? [05:10] sml, sounds like a firewall or router issue [05:11] robertr994 opened ports and allowed it through all firewalls [05:11] sml12261, Did you forward the correct ports? [05:11] sml12261, check /etc/hosts.allow [05:11] probably my POS router [05:11] bypass your router [05:11] for test [05:11] where can I edit the ld_library_path variable? [05:11] i am connected to internet but firefox says it is working offline??is it the default mode to start?? === restor_ is now known as mau_restor [05:12] Deevz, Just set it before the command you want to run, ie. ld_library_path="blargh" command [05:12] thinkertinker: File > Untick Work Offline === KvnBl is now known as mystyfyr [05:12] holaaaaaaaaaaaa [05:12] robertr994 you mean direct to modem then get on outside net? [05:12] thinkertinker: not usually untick work offline and try again [05:12] Deevz, or put it in your .bashrc [05:12] yes [05:12] Deevz: http://blogs.sun.com/ali/entry/avoiding_ld_library_path_the [05:12] I was up at 3 2 days ago [05:12] usually that will let you see if its a port forward or DMZ issue [05:12] oops [05:13] if it works it is [05:13] wrong spot [05:13] blackest_knight:it works but all other applications using internet behaves similarly(pidgin -awaitong ntwrk conncn) [05:13] hi, recently ive been having trouble with ubuntu. whenever i choose it from grub bootloader, it goes to the ubuntu boot menu, loads a little, then hangs. to remedy this i created a flash drive that i thought would boot(i made a bootable flashdrive before, thats how i installed ubuntu). however, the flash drive wouldnt boot, so i formatted in and tried a different image. same story. however,... [05:13] ...this time when i went to format my flash drive, i could only format it to the size of the image i had written to it. now here are my questions: does anybody have any idea as to what is going on with my computer? can i save my flashdrive? and is there any way this is the flashdrives fault? [05:13] thinkertinker, you must of accidently turned that option on, its in the file list near the bottem [05:14] skellingtonx, is it a laptop? === Segnini75 is now known as jesused [05:14] wdyrt:nope,firefox always startrs this way [05:14] yes, an asus eepc 1000ha [05:14] robertr994 I got an error with my ps3 straight to modem so maybe whole net is screwed up [05:14] eeepc* [05:14] Why wont "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y" install the new version of Virtualbox-3.0 and remove Virtualbox-2.2?? Just curious (not complaining) [05:14] oh, may i suggest wiping your settings? [05:14] skellingtonx, the next time you try booting it, hold down "enter" when it "freezes" [05:14] thinkertinker: i'd try pinginga few places see if your really connected [05:15] skellingtonx, if that fixes it, I know what to do. [05:15] apt-cache search mysql worked, now how do I get the install? [05:15] sml12261: This is something I pulled off a video about IPtables: Your server doesn't start with a sudo-command, so it doesn't get access to port 80 (TCP), but instead ie 8080. You need to forward incoming request to port 80 to port 8080. [05:15] robertr994, sudo apt-get install package_name [05:15] ok ill try it right now. ill be back to report my results. [05:15] skellingtonx, sure thing [05:15] what port is sftp? [05:15] anyone having problems with yahoo on kopete still? [05:16] ok, let me figure out the package name lol [05:16] thinkertinker, the settings are in ~/.mozilla/firefox [05:16] blackest_knight:i am currently connected and using the same to chat here [05:16] sml12261: That was an example. Your ports may be different [05:16] robertr994, the first word on each line of "apt-cache search" is the package name [05:16] robertr994, just pick the one you want [05:16] I'm trying to determine the stability of the zfs-fuse package. Can I reliably assume that my data will be safe on it? [05:16] hey happy gang im tryin to find where the config file for ubuntus grub bootloader is stored [05:16] any one tell me ? [05:16] anyone have a working yahoo setup on kopete at the moment [05:17] hey guys, how can i completely clean the iptables? [05:17] thinkertinker: thats wierd it must think your offline initially i guess [05:17] FSWolf: /boot/grub [05:17] blackest_knight, i find it weird, how it would assume that [05:17] ok thanks [05:17] Hello [05:17] jmoncayo: reboot maybe [05:17] MT-: you can google that or look in /etc/services [05:17] it must be some setting getting left over [05:18] mmmm [05:18] jmoncayo: not to dismiss your question.. but you should check out gUFW after you clear out iptables.. Its a GUI for Uncomplicated Firewall and its very easy to use [05:18] im tryin to add a nother windows install to the grub bootloader file [05:18] blackest_knight: wait..i am not using network manger to connect.. [05:18] the default file is seeming empty [05:18] Im from a phone with ubuntu [05:19] jmoncayo: i tried gufw and i wasn't impressed. i recommend learning the command line syntax. it's nothing compared to iptables [05:19] thinkertinker: could it be connecting on demand maybe [05:19] blackest_knight: is there something like ubuntu failing to tell my applications that i am connected to internet?? [05:19] FSWolf: what do you mean it's empty [05:19] good lawd this is easy [05:19] can somebody please help me configure my wacom tablet? i am VERY desperate [05:20] thinkertinker, some gnome applications check with networkmanager to see if one is connected to the internet. [05:20] thanks for the help on this [05:20] blackest_knight: i dialup using wvdial and i edited wvdial.conf manually.. does that raise a prob?? [05:20] robertr994, glad you got it installed [05:20] i already made the script and it works just fine, but i want to start fresh [05:20] I'm trying to determine the stability of the zfs-fuse package. Can I reliably assume that my data will be safe on it? [05:20] Hilikus: oooh - nice file, thanks [05:20] ahadiel: then what if i use wvdial to dial up?? [05:20] well, installed is one thing, configured ..... lol [05:20] MT-: np [05:21] thinkertinker, what application is giving you trouble? [05:21] no one has any thoughts on yahoo? [05:21] nm thanks i found it :) === mystyfyr is now known as wileyfox [05:21] thinkertinker: that could be it , takes a while to establish connection dns server ect if your rushing it may not have fully established connection [05:21] ahadiel:pidgin [05:21] Can anyone help me run an X11 display through ssh? [05:21] I just need to learn how this system works. it seems to run 10th of the memory usage vs 2003 server [05:21] I can do it at the physical machine, but not while ssh'ing in [05:21] thinkertinker, other internet apps work? [05:22] duckwars: from another linux box? [05:22] duckwars, you want to run apps via ssh and have them show up on your screen? [05:22] does anyone know if there is an irc command analogous to "whois" [05:22] well I want to run a vnc server on a remote machine, but I can't because I can't run startx [05:22] ahadiel: i am installing vlc player now..with add/remove applications.. that works.. [05:22] I don't have the permission to run startx [05:22] hello all. I'm very new at this & have a install question. I'm trying to dualboot & during the install it freezes at 5% when it says "creating ext3 file system. any help appreciated [05:23] duckwars: sudo startx [05:23] ahadiel, no luck. [05:23] skellingtonx, hrm [05:23] skellingtonx, so the progress bar just freezes? [05:23] MustardTiger: how do you know it freezes [05:23] thinkertinker, what account in pidgin isn't working? [05:23] cause i left it over night [05:23] are you sure it's not taking its time [05:23] ooh [05:23] 7hrs. [05:23] yes, at about 7% i would say. [05:24] skellingtonx, and holding enter did nothing? [05:24] anyone having yahoo messenger problems? [05:24] blackest_knight:how to know if connection compleetly connected! from wvdial? [05:24] MustardTiger: did you run from a livecd? [05:24] ahadiel, absolutely nothing. [05:24] ahadiel:gtalk [05:24] MustardTiger; That's frozen allright. [05:24] thinkertinker, I'd imagine it's just gtalk that doesn't work then. [05:24] I ran the installer off the CD & then restared & chose Ubuntu from load up. [05:24] thinkertinker, Someone else was complaining about it not working either. [05:24] thinkertinker: do you start it from terminal ? [05:24] skellingtonx, hrm [05:25] It then started to install & keep stopping at 5% [05:25] even as sudo it says Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 keygiving up [05:25] ahadiel, my thoughts exactly. [05:25] skellingtonx, how do you get it to boot? [05:25] ahadiel, grub bootloader [05:25] blackest_knight:yes i start wvdial from terminal [05:25] ive changed my page server setting several times in the last month, keep getting it to work for a bit then it quits, any thoughs ref. kopete [05:25] duckwars: what system are you ssh'ing FROM? [05:25] skellingtonx, I mean, how do you get past the freezing? [05:25] duckwars: google that msg [05:25] OS x [05:25] MustardTiger: Did the liveCD installer finish completely? [05:25] ahadiel:it worked on my suse!! [05:25] skellingtonx, you mentioned a usb device [05:25] yes. [05:25] thinkertinker, check the connection settings for gtalk [05:26] thinkertinker, maybe they're different [05:26] duckwars: i don't know if your ssh client in mac will let you, but try adding -X as an argument [05:26] thinkertinker: doesnt it give you any feedback ? [05:26] so ssh -X [05:26] ok, php and mysql is installed, way to easy. guess I should reboot? [05:26] ahadiel, ive never had freezing before. and i wanted to use the flash drive(the same flash drive i used to install ubuntu) to reinstall ubuntu. it wouldnt boot. [05:26] duckwars: that should forward X [05:26] blackest_knight:yes it shows upto my secndry dns adrress. [05:26] i'll tell you if it works, the system is restarting now [05:26] Anybody know where i can find epiphany. I just installed it using add/remove apps, it says it's installed but it's not under app -> internet. ANybody have any clue? [05:27] dunham [05:27] skellingtonx, try adding acpi=off to the end of your kernel line [05:27] log out then back in [05:27] robertr994: If you're finished installing and want to start them, sure. If not, then keep them stopped and keep configuring. [05:27] MustardTiger, sounds like you might have a bad cd try running the check cd utility at startup [05:27] gotcha [05:27] skellingtonx, when you get to grub, press "e", and add that [05:27] not sure why, but works lol [05:27] hi someone can help me to do an install script to install ubuntu by the minimal cd with the command line ? [05:27] what would that do exactly? [05:28] skellingtonx, disables acpi [05:28] skellingtonx, that could be what's hanging it [05:28] okeedokee. [05:28] thinkertinker: i use dialup with phone modem aand run a script pppd call gprs often the server doesnt allocate an address and it fails but if you instlled network monitor aplet and set it to ppp0 you would see it connect and get an address [05:28] yeah, have my php site online with a html backup in its place, should restart. any idea if I need to edit apache or did it do it? [05:28] ty, it's up [05:28] startx -X doesn't help [05:28] duckwars, I think he meant to start ssh with -X [05:28] I also get xauth: error in locking authority file /home/username/.Xauthority [05:28] firefox was to slow loading pages... figured i'd try epiphany [05:28] ohhh [05:29] duckwars: no, i said ssh -X, this is not to start X, its to forward it to your client [05:29] welcome dunham, anyone have any thoughts on yahoo messenger settings for kopete? [05:29] duckwars, did you set "DISPLAY" prior to running startx? [05:29] blackest_knight:..hmmm... should i make changes in my network manager?? [05:29] robertr994: I think you need to configure apache. From what I know, if you don't the site it will show is "It Works!" [05:29] i tried ssh -X [05:29] http://www.kwtfstudio.com/asx/Screenshot.png this rocks [05:29] duckwars, try DISPLAY=:0.0 startx [05:30] duckwars, but not with ssh -X [05:30] and error in locking authority file /home/username/.Xauthority [05:30] no add to panel network applet you might need to install it [05:30] ok apache is no biggie to configure [05:30] okay, I'll try that. thanks. [05:30] blackest_knight:.and how after that?? [05:31] ok, someone suggested I type in a new line in /etc/bashrc to set the ld_library_path variable, now what would be the syntax of that line? [05:31] display=:0.0 startx doesn't work, I get like 5 errors along the lines of [05:31] once its on the panel change the device to ppp0 then you'll see when its connected [05:31] xauth: error in locking authority file /home/username/.Xauthority [05:31] duckwars, check if .Xauthority is owned by you [05:31] and then "X: user not authorized to run the X server, aborting" [05:32] robertr994: If you have experience in hosting, maybe not. For me, it's something I fear deep down in my heart. [05:32] duckwars, ohhhh, hold on, I think I know [05:32] blackest_knight: "NetworkManager Applet"is in my panel currently [05:32] hey, is it just me being dumb or something but I can't the find the acroread package in the repositories anywhere, can anyone confirm or tell me what repositories it is in, thank you. [05:32] ccccccccc [05:32] duckwars: did you configure X to start automatically? [05:32] not that I know of [05:32] anyone here has used dyndns.com for IP resolution? I am trying to find out what the interface should be if your machine is using a cable modem and behind a router? Using eth0 uses the router IP not the routable IP from the cable modem [05:32] been hosting since 2003 on windows, today is my first try on linux [05:32] thinkertinker: what device is it set to show [05:32] duckwars: right click .Xauthority and choose properties>permissions make sure its not root and read write atre checked [05:33] are [05:33] just read write for owner [05:33] Something know a ide to python??? [05:33] it's root root though [05:33] I love the way the machine is running now even though I cant get my video and sound installed..... no biggie its a server [05:33] robertr994, what's it like hosting on windows? ever had your sites hacked a lot and had code injected to your sites? how about reliability? [05:33] no one having any issues with kopete and yahoo messenger? [05:33] blackest_knight: sorry not sure!! it shows an icon for wi-fi netwrk range. [05:33] duckwars: it should not be root root bur yourname:yourname [05:33] duckwars, are you trying to startx as root? [05:33] but [05:33] hacked all the time, reliable??? only if I babysit [05:33] freter, pidgin cant login to yahoo, someone has a work around but who cares, no more yahoo for me [05:34] hi everyone [05:34] :) [05:34] even when I try to startx as root I get problems [05:34] thinkertinker: install a 2nd one and then right click it for properties [05:34] Fatal server error: Server is already active for diplay 0 [05:34] is there another chat client for yahoo messenger that is working ? i just need it thats all [05:34] duckwars: why do you want to start X manually??? [05:34] If this server is no longer running, remove /temp/.X0-lock and start again [05:34] mezquitale, its just a server mapping issue. [05:34] duckwars, maybe try DISPLAY=:0.1 startx [05:34] i am trying to backup some files off my bad ubuntu load to usb drive using the live cd and getting locked files in my home folder. how can i get around this to unlock them so i can copy them? [05:35] because my vncserver software requires it running [05:35] hey would anyone in here be able to answer a question that i have about getting Tomcat6 set up on Hardy Heron? [05:35] blackest_knight: do i get it from "add to panel"?..can u pls say the name of applet?? [05:35] duckwars: are you sure it's not running already? [05:35] djlenoir: sudo nautilus [05:35] didn't seem to work [05:35] LeChacal, it is in the medibuntu repo acroread-fonts - Fonts for Acrobat reader - Medibuntu package [05:35] im just very happy seeing this AMD64 run like its supposed to on Ubuntu compared to windows running 1.5 gig of ram on idle [05:35] blackest_knight: ok thanks [05:35] Severity1, that's what I thought but i dont want to waste time configuring something i use once every blue moon, i chat more on freenode way more than on yahoo [05:35] I can't get winff to encode... it keeps saying I don't have encoders [05:35] well at the actual physical computer there is no desktop [05:35] computer reports cant find a package and it should be there..the package is listed on the Jaunty' standard package list [05:36] duckwars: that doesn't mean X is not running [05:36] add to panel network monitor [05:36] my AMD 64 bit is quite happy with ubuntu studio 8.10 [05:36] duckwars, maybe this will help http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=151703 [05:36] duckwars: can you ssh to the machine? [05:36] gartral: Search for ffmpeg and install all of them that you need. [05:36] any one know of any good dssi synths for ubuntu?? [05:36] anyone here has used dyndns.com for IP resolution? I am trying to find out what the interface should be if your machine is using a cable modem and behind a router? Using eth0 uses the router IP not the routable IP from the cable modem [05:37] blackest_knight: i cant find it there. [05:37] how can i scroll thru the package list or search through it on command line? [05:37] hmm, sudo nautilus apparently is not enough... getting permission denied to copy the files [05:37] is there another chat client that is supporting yahoo messenger? [05:37] ctmjr, that is just fonts i have that installed but that isnt acroread, i just reinstalled janunty and i had it installed before i reloaded my system [05:37] blackest_knight: i cant find it there.but when i installed jaunty it came along. [05:37] OttifantSir: I did. [05:38] ok you need to install it with synaptic search network applet to find it [05:38] mez, some of the cheaper modems will not port forward even though the options are there. try bypassing the router to see if this is the case for you [05:38] mezquitale: what do you mean? dyndns just translates to you ip, your router doesn't need to know about it [05:38] freter other than pidgin or amsn ? [05:38] ctmjr, and apt wont let you just install acroread-fonts because it has acroread as a dependency [05:38] blackest_knight: i cant find it there is it beacuse it has been added once? [05:38] gartral: Did you get the ones from Medibuntu? [05:38] OttifantSir: it shouldn't matter... Im going from Theora too Theora [05:38] gonna reboot, thanks all for the help ! [05:39] when i try to start tomcat6 on ubuntu it does not seem to be able to find any JARS that are in my WEB-INF/lib directory (eg: i get a NoClassDefFoundError) - the JARs are there, CATALINA_HOME and CATALINA_BASE are set and the WAR file works in my local (Windows) tomcat instance. would anyone here be able to shed some light on this? [05:39] i've been trying to find some good synth plugins for my ubuntu studio thats not listed on the dist. page..any one know of any? [05:39] is there a way to search the package list? [05:39] no you can add as many as you want i tend to have 1 per interface [05:39] OttifantSir: its throwing Unknown encoder 'mpeg2video' on exit [05:39] budo: apt-cache search [05:39] from a command line [05:39] this is OT: anybody knows of an antenna supplier for 3G usb modems? [05:39] Well here's the overall problem. When I start the vnc server at the terminal on the physical VNC server machine, already in a GUI, the vnc server works, BUT when I try to launch it from a foreign machine while ssh'ing in, it doesn't work [05:40] pinoyskull: that question belongs in ##hardware or ##electronics [05:40] ah, thanks gartral for the direction [05:40] duckwars: why don't you just forward X, do you really need vnc? [05:40] duckwars why do you need the remote desktop ? [05:41] hi pinoyskull [05:41] what is forwarding X? I need to work with the gui desktop a lot of the time because I can't really do EVERYTHING through command line [05:41] Hilikus, dynsdns.com needs to update your dynamic IP, I have to use a client on my machine to update my IP, however when you configure the client you have to specify an interface, I thought it was "eth0" however eth0 is the local IP provided by the router and is non-routable, I need the interface for the cable modem which has a routable IP [05:41] Severity1: hi [05:41] LeChacal, your welcome [05:42] ahadiel, *sigh* [05:42] someone can help me ? [05:42] duckwars: one thing is controlling the remote desktop (VNC) other is forwarding X which will open windows from the remote machine as if they were local [05:42] duckwars: right its simple enough ssh duckwars@127.0.0.1 -X and then start the graphical program and it will pop up as a window on your local system [05:43] gartral: I'm sorry, I'm too tired to remember anything right now. It's gettling close to 7am and I need to get some sleep. I seem to remember having the problem myself once. Try the forums. That's where I usually get my answers. [05:43] duckwars: obviously replace that address with your remote machine ip [05:43] mezquitale: what client are you using? mine doesn't ask for that [05:44] Hilikus, im using ddclient, it uses ssh to update my IP, are you also using a modem(cable/dsl) and a router? [05:44] oh, okay. What is a graphical program I can use with os x? [05:44] doesn't seem to work just typing ssh username@xxx.x.x.xxx -X [05:44] duckwars: try nautilus see if it works [05:44] mezquitale: yes, server behind a firewall behind a router/modem with NAT === MobileMyles6o7 is now known as TwoToneSpirit [05:44] mezquitale: try inadyn [05:45] I'm confused about the difference between paravirtualization and hypervisors (baremetal virtualization). I would like to try out running xen as a hypervisor on my machine and with ubuntu as a domU (or Dom0... not completely sure how it all works yet). Anyone done this before or have a pointer to a good howto? [05:45] thanks OttifantSir [05:45] duckwars: try putting -X before the host [05:45] and then start anything graphical like emacs or gedit [05:45] wget program. thats what i needed ! [05:45] thanks Hilikus [05:46] Hilikus, that's OK, thanks, I already made my choice and it's working, I just have to figure out what interface I should use, I think the interface is "web" but I guess I'll find out later on when I get a new IP [05:46] duckwars: provided username is a valid a/c on the remote system it should ask for your password within about 30 secs [05:46] can the ubuntu install cd create a guid partition? [05:46] or just mbr [05:47] whats the most common c++ IDE in ubuntu? [05:47] when i do the -X a program in os x comes up called X11, but it doesn't seem to show me the desktop [05:47] duckwars: you won't get the desktop, but the apps that you open [05:47] duckwars: X11 user in Mac is... strange.. [05:47] Hilikus: eclipse or netbeans [05:47] djlenoir: um yes. [05:48] blackest_knight: really? for c++? [05:48] i use those in windows for java === cilipadi is now known as virexeen [05:48] I won't et a desktop? [05:48] they have c++ plugins [05:49] blackest_knight: no hope to add another netwrk monitor applet.. i looked around but cant find it === virexeen is now known as cilipadi [05:50] I have a question guys. Is the Optiarc AD 7240 Series compatible with Jaunty? [05:50] And why can't wodim fixate the disc? [05:52] thinkertinker: gnome-netstatus-applet [05:52] Acer aspire one can I get linux on it [05:52] ROOT78s: of course [05:52] i have :) i'm using it [05:53] anyone here used secure delete before? [05:53] ROOT78: I'm on an acer d150 running ubuntu just fine === Patric3 is now known as help [05:53] I'm actually wondering if I run the command srm -R from the / directory... what would happen? Would the whole disk get wiped because the file will execute and its in RAM, or will it delete and eventually delete itself? === help is now known as Patric3 [05:54] Hello everyone. I just installed an ubuntu Jaunty on an ibook g3 (powerpc) and I'm unable to read movie with mplayer neither totem because of some altivec flags... How can I solve that ? [05:55] blackest_knight: wel now how to put it there?? need i install gnome-netstatus-applet?? [05:56] thinkertinker: sudo apt-get install gnome-netstatus-applet [05:56] once its installed you can add to panel [05:56] hi [05:56] guillaume have you installed all the plugins? [05:56] good, bad and ugly? [05:57] anyone knows anyone on xubuntu that can support me? [05:57] blackest_knight: lemme try it.. [05:57] I have a 160 g net book [05:57] I've xubuntu 9.04 [05:57] and it's really slow [05:57] i can't work :S [05:57] guillaume: Try going to synaptic and installing all the plugins. [05:57] zoquete: err new pc? [05:57] yes [05:58] i've a Lenovo SL400 laptop [05:58] zoquete: what's slow? [05:58] JohnnyZero: which plugin ? mplayer does not have any and the needed for gstreamer segfault [05:58] and two days ago installed xub [05:58] hey, i'm playing around with packaging and at the moment using it to deploy a couple of .conf scripts on a new comp, however i get the error 'trying to overwrite X, which is also in package Y', which is fine, is there a setting that i can use to allow this from within the package [05:58] i use Eclipse PDT [05:58] and Firefox [05:58] and Open Office [05:58] zoquete: and [05:58] zoquete: those 3 are enough to kill processor! [05:58] the three programs are slow [05:58] and a terminal [05:58] guillaume: There should be 3 sets of plugins for gstreamer. Good, Bad and Ugly [05:59] i've a core 2 duo [05:59] zoquete: all 3 at once [05:59] sorry, I need to be more precise in my request. Every multimedia application crash with illegal instructions because they are compiled with altivec that my g3 does not support. [05:59] zoquete: run top and see what's slowing it [05:59] typing in the terminal uses a lot of processor [05:59] xorg [05:59] guillaume: vlc [05:59] Yeah vlc is good [06:00] Xog uses over 20% the 90% of the time [06:00] Or you could always get wine or buy crossover and use Windows Media Player or Winamp [06:00] guillaume: not only osx defently ppc [06:00] how do i disable the feature to restart programs that were left on before reboot? [06:00] you don't [06:00] why :S [06:00] XD [06:00] zoquete: 20% is not that much [06:00] guillaume: used to have it on my osx g3 [06:00] yes [06:00] change tabs in firefox 2secs [06:00] change desktops 2 secs [06:01] gillaume: I used Windows Media Player on Ubuntu for a bit there. Worked out fine for me. But I also spent alot of money for Crossover. It does get pricey. [06:01] zoquete: what video driver are you using [06:01] change aplications 3 sec [06:01] hello [06:01] it's really unconfortable [06:01] and when you do that xorg goes up? [06:01] zoquete, how much mem? [06:01] JohnnyZero: and you could have used winetricks and installed it for free [06:01] my X uses 1% cpu [06:01] lol [06:01] oh...yeah at the time I didn't know that lol === john is now known as Guest29375 [06:02] 509MB of 2GB ram and 2GB swap [06:02] Hi people, I just bought this Asus laptop and am using Kubuntu 9.04-bits on it right now, but the Ethernet controller doesn't work. I tried on Ubuntu as well, and its 32-bit version. I'm using the wireless right now but it slow, unstable, and in a few days it won't be available anymore cause I'll be moving, so I need the ethernet controller to work. It's a SiS 191 Gigabit ethernet controller. I've googled around for 2 days now a [06:02] read dozens of forums posts and mailing list messages, some of them going back to 2005, and most of them ending without solution. Any suggestions? [06:02] can some one help me....? [06:02] gogeta: vlc same problem, it use altivec flags [06:02] any one use ubuntu to produce music? [06:02] windows media player?? why would anyone use that? i use mplayer. even when i am on windows [06:02] oyenk, just ask [06:03] video driver? [06:03] guillaume: unfortanly ubuntu has no real ppc support [06:03] the xorg.conf file have defaults values for all [06:03] gbear14275: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4fzInlyYQo&feature=related [06:03] ahadiel, you there? [06:03] fornix: this was before I realized that vlc works a hell of alot better [06:03] guillaume: yellow dog linux is best for ppc macs [06:03] is there a somewhat simple way to slow down a cp command, like so it doesnt overheat my drive, or gives periodic rests or something? [06:03] the video is a Intel 4500MHD onboard [06:03] zoquete: yes but you still need a driver to talk to you video card [06:03] Right now I am on PCBSD but I am thinking of going back to Jaunty assuming I can get my CD Burner working on Jaunty. [06:03] guillaume: or even osx === buntunub is now known as archdave [06:04] zoquete: mmm then i don't know. never used intel video cards [06:04] gogeta: osx is not a solution, I don't want an os which is 10 years old, and the newest release of osx does not run on that laptop [06:04] i understand that Intel are automatic recognized (sorry my english, i speak spanish) [06:04] I want wodim to be able to fixate my discs and for it to actually work as a DVD burner like it should. Not just as a CD Rom. [06:04] guillaume: osx tiger does [06:05] Hello again, I check the CD & it's fine. I tried installing (duelboot XP) from live CD. I slide the partition size for Ubuntu to 18GB, when it tries to "resize partition" it stays at 0% and come back with error. [06:05] guillaume: unfortanly ppc is just dead [06:05] 45 [06:05] 5959+ [06:05] gogeta: Well unless you count the Cell chip. But thats really only used in PS3s [06:05] I then ge the option to "prepare partion" and it list my current drives but I don't know what to do. Any help? [06:05] ok, thanks [06:06] i try on xubuntu forum but is nothing here [06:06] gogeta: not for me. I have a pretty good laptop and until I found a better one, I'll want to keep that one [06:06] legend2440: this is fun to watch... I'm actually getting nervous [06:07] i have problem when instaLL virtual box.."Error: Wrong architecture 'amd64'" [06:07] any suggest bout that..? [06:07] guillaume try vlc and see what happens. [06:07] JohnnyZero: same thing, it crashs [06:07] Hmm [06:07] oyenk, paste the output of uname -a [06:07] What is the error message. I'll google it for you. [06:07] guillaume: http://us.fixstars.com/support/downloads/ [06:08] yellow dog [06:08] Ah too late lol [06:08] thats a ppc linux [06:08] ubuntu ppc is third party only [06:08] it was droped years ago [06:08] JohnnyZero: Illegal instruction ;) I allready googled it... There is lots of people talking about it on internet, but noone give a solution except "buy a new computer" [06:08] gogeta: it was working on edgy [06:08] LOL oh sorry [06:09] edgy i beleve was the very last one [06:09] gbear14275: you want to remove Ubuntu? [06:09] edgy had ppc support even thow it got droped [06:10] gogeta: thank for yellowdog, but I prefere compile my own mplayer rather than installing a new system [06:10] Doesn't arch linux have PPC support? [06:10] Hi, I'm trying to write a clever script using the mail command, but it's prompting me for a CC, and I have to press ^D for it to send the message. Does anybody have any ideas how to turn these off? [06:10] i try to instaL build essential [06:10] it's all g4 or better, the g3 is kinda SOL [06:10] legend2440: terminating a managed server service on an unfriendly basis (they suck, i'm changing my cc number)... I want to wipe the hard drive [06:10] oyenk, paste the output of uname -a [06:10] guillaume, theres always the wine option too [06:10] Hey, I don't want a new system... If there is no solution out of the box, i'll build from source mplayer and ffmpeg... [06:10] If you haven't tried that already [06:10] JohnnyZero: wine ? [06:10] mlissner: i think if you send the whole message in 1 command it wont ask for it [06:11] i get stuck (error) at the partition part with installing either from the LiveCD or after the Installer. Can I do the partition manually & how? [06:11] but there`s some error too...>>build-essential: Depends: g++ (>= 4:4.3.1) but it is not going to be installed [06:11] Hilikus, is there a trick to doing that that I'm missing? [06:11] Yeah you can run wine and try out Winamp or Quicktime. [06:11] mlissner: what are you currently doing [06:11] guillaume: its only supported in community now, which pretty much means rollyourown :) [06:11] my command is something like: mail -s"subject" email@example.com [06:11] JohnnyZero: have you any ideo how wine work ? [06:11] guillaiume: your only real option is to compile your own media player without the multimedia extensions, the g3 breaks the hell out of extension detection [06:11] Dulak: yellow dog seems to still have g3 [06:11] mlissner: where do you write the body? [06:12] Hilikus: No body. Just a subject. [06:12] guillaume: well I use Crossover and it kinda just runs the exe files I need it to [06:12] Hilikus: Though a blank body, or a space, or whatever is fine. [06:12] Dulak: yeah, I know it is a solution, I was wondering if there is something simpler without the time of the compilation ;) [06:12] I just double click, install it and there it is. [06:12] JohnnyZero: you are on x86 ;) [06:12] Linux oyenk 2.6.28-11-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 17 01:57:59 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux [06:12] guilaume: yeah.....I guess you're right [06:13] oyenk, You can't install AMD64 Virtualbox on that [06:13] guillaume: not really [06:13] oyenk, download the 32-bit version [06:13] and you are somewhat correct guillaume. I am on an x86_64 [06:14] Dulak: ok... and you think it can be possible to ask for a .deb without the altivec extension ? Btw i'm not the only one in this situation... [06:14] guillaume: compile it from source make a deb [06:14] guillaume: it's pretty simple to make your own deb [06:15] guillaume: Unless you can find an old rpm and convert it with alien. [06:15] guillaume: thers a program that will do it for you the name i forgot lol [06:15] mlissner: try echo " " | mail -s HEAD
[06:15] gogeta, Dulak, the idea is to avoid doing it myself, if I run an ubuntu it's because a gentoo take too much time. If i must start compiling myself, I'll install a gentoo ;) [06:15] ok tq :) [06:16] guillaume: well ubuntu isnt a legicy distro [06:16] guillaume: Have you tried searching for an old rpm file that will install? [06:16] Hilikus: Brilliant. [06:16] guillaume: compiling one package to solve your problem is hardly gentooish. If you don't want to take the time to solve your own problem, I don't see why anyone else should. [06:16] Hilikus: Thank you kindly for your creativity. [06:16] and converting it with alien [06:16] mlissner: np [06:16] Hi. I want to clone a 160GB disk onto a 500GB disk from the live cd. Would this command do the job? dd if= of= [06:16] Dulak: because anyone can have a computer faster than mine ;) [06:17] guillaume: becides you fix others to spreding the love [06:17] guillaume: you start the compile right before you go to bed, it's done by the morning. You won't notice the time. [06:17] guillaume: if he conpiled it on a non g3 it would compile badly and be slow [06:17] we [06:17] Guest58516: it'll do it, but you'll end up with 160gb accessable on the 500gb disk [06:17] Lemme search around for a proggie guillaume [06:17] guillaume: I have no sympathy, I remember compiling kernels on a 386 [06:17] Guest58516: use 'gparted' on the live cd [06:18] vox, will i be able to expand the disk afterward? [06:18] guillaume: thats how optmisied compiles work [06:18] with gparted? [06:18] Guest58516: it will do exactly what you're looking for [06:18] why..sometimes when i update my pacckage...there`s error GPG error: http://dl2.foss-id.web.id intrepid-security Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5 Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key [06:18] gogeta: you can optimise compilation for different targets [06:18] You mean skip dd entirely? [06:18] Guest58516: yes [06:18] Guest58516: just run 'gparted' [06:18] guillaume: its not the same using emulation [06:18] Oh OK [06:18] * JohnnyZero shrugs [06:18] Thanks a lot. [06:18] http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=dapper&keywords=mplayer [06:19] Guest58516: no probs [06:19] gogeta: why are you talking about emulation ? [06:19] Guest58516: i can't see why you can't expand it.. but according to the ubuntu release notes, expanding an ext4 partition may cause lots of data loss [06:19] guillaume: if you compile for ppc on a x86 its compiling on a totaly diffrent arc [06:19] That's what I'm using too. === Piet_ is now known as Piet [06:19] Good thing I checked. Thanks again. [06:19] cross compling [06:19] gogeta: yes, it's like crosscompilation work. [06:20] and its worse then nativ [06:20] gogeta: I'm wondering why... [06:21] guillaume: igts going to use genrec calls then looking at a real one and making the optmisions [06:21] guillaume: have you looked at this? [06:21] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCKnownIssues [06:21] here goes nothing... secure delete root :) === Shaan7_ is now known as Shaan7 [06:23] Meh that has nothing on it [06:23] JohnnyZero: it does not help [06:24] guillaume: only other thing I can suggest is really delve into google to search for a deb [06:24] Anyone know if I uninstall phpmyadmin and reinstall phpmyadmin, will my databases still be there? [06:24] gogeta: what are you calling genrec call ? [06:25] I need some help with Ubuntu... [06:25] hi terry [06:25] what help do you need? [06:25] baa [06:25] It has a ton of trouble loading flash content and anything that takes up the full screen [06:26] guillaume: Its possible someone already did compile it from source. Check here http://code.google.com/ [06:26] Even when it does load it is extremely laggy [06:26] wired22: are you using the open source flash or the proprietary one? [06:26] Hey, I'm running Skype on 9.04, on a Lenovo S10 netbook, and sometimes the other chatter's video dies and then won't redraw. Anyone know what the problem might be? [06:27] Help, anyone? My connection died at some point cause the wireless is unreliable, so I might have missed some messages during that time [06:27] If I uninstall phpmyadmin and then reinstall it, will my mysql databases still be there untouched? [06:27] JohnnyZero: knothing beats trying to eexplane how compiling works in lamemns terms [06:27] lol [06:27] Hilikus: Proprietary [06:27] phorensic: they should be, yes [06:27] wired22: mmm then idk [06:28] gogeta: I usually just follow a wiki. I do it the "for dummies" way [06:28] Hilikus: do you know how to back up my databases just in case? [06:28] JohnnyZero: lol i knoe a nativ ssmokes a cross thats abought it [06:28] phorensic: mysqldump --all-databases > backup i believe [06:28] when one does a sudo reboot from a terminal, does the session still get saved? [06:29] I can't get myself associated to a wireless network. My wireless card uses the ath5k driver. Here( http://paste.linuxassist.net/214937 ) is the output from ifconfig, iwconfig, and iwlist. Any ideas what I am doing incorrectly? [06:29] Nameless_au: i beleve so i have done it [06:29] gogeta I've had to compile before. I had to actually on Arch Linux. [06:29] Never really on Ubuntu though [06:29] phorensic: but make sure you do it with a user that has full rights, like root [06:30] phorensic: actually you might be able to do it from phpmyadmin before you remove it [06:30] JohnnyZero: thats becouse ubuntu has debs for everything even kernel patches [06:30] lol [06:30] quick question: how do i make my flash drive bootable> [06:30] Nameless_au: I use shutdown -r, and it seems to save the session ok [06:30] gogeta: still does find what are you calling "genrec call" ? [06:30] ?* [06:30] Hilikus: haah well thats the problem. My friend changed the permissions somewhere so we cant get into it [06:30] gogeta: by "i have done it" are you implying you can do it by adding certain arguments/switches or that it does it automatically upon reboot, just like through the gui? [06:30] guillaume: non optmised [06:31] phorensic: permissions or password? [06:31] skellingtonx: try syslinux [06:31] Hilikus is there a file where the database is located that can be copied and pasted? [06:31] Nameless_au: sudo reboot that i did everything semmed saved [06:31] Hey guys, how do I have my ubuntu 9.04 pc shutdown after a certain amount of minutes. when i use "sudo shutdown 30", after 30 minutes it doesnt shut down, its like i get logged out and go to this weird almost text only rescue menu. Thanks [06:31] gogeta: k tnx [06:31] gogeta: and still wondering why compiling on the same arch that target arch optimise better ? [06:31] oh sorry, should have been more specific: how do i make my flash drive bootable in windows xp? [06:31] guest, it depends what kind of tables, but mysqldump is preferred [06:31] Hilikus: permissions.. I believe they are permissions of the symlink or folder in the /var/www folder?? Im not at his computer to see the exact setup [06:32] mubu: try sudo shutdown -P 30 [06:32] guillaume: i dunno it just does [06:32] phorensic: but the problem is you can get to phpmyadmin or that it won't let you in? [06:32] skellingtonx set the flag to boot [06:32] can't* [06:32] You can use GPart for that [06:32] scunizi, ill try it out thanks [06:32] Hilikus: yes, 127.0.0.1/phpmyadmin gives error messages saying permission denied and wrong permissions... [06:32] guillaume: you can recompile on the same arc on a diffrent pc and get better preforance [06:32] mubu: I typically use sudo shutdown -P now when logged in via ssh.. [06:32] thanks [06:33] hey guys... I just found out ubuntu is FREAKING AMAZING. plug and play wicom tablet worked awesome when used with gimp... [06:33] mubu: -P will power it down but the 30 means 30 minutes [06:33] phorensic: but is the error from phpmyadmin or apache?? [06:33] mubu: yep.. [06:33] gogeta: ok, and if it just does, you have some references which can help me in my quest to understand ? [06:33] skellington: just be careful with G Part though. Make sure you get the right drive. [06:34] Go to the drop down menu and look to see what your Flash Drive is known as [06:34] Hilikus: it is for phpmyadmin . i checked the permissions of apache.conf and everything was fine [06:34] Hi all, I am using linpopup to send messages to windows machines in my network. Sending messages are fine. but i cant receive messages from windows machines. Can anybody helpme? [06:34] I started using aptitude a while back because I heard it does auto-removal of orphaned dependencies (though I hear apt-get does also now). I was wondering if using the graphical update-manager breaks that functionality for aptitude.? [06:34] guillaume: thats gentoos entire theme compilig from source on the target pc is better [06:34] skellingtonx, Because your hard drive also shows up in G Part [06:34] phorensic: i don't think reinstalling phpmyadmin will fix it, i might be wrong === house is now known as Guest41294 [06:35] phorensic: can you get in using the CLI mysql client? [06:35] ok. [06:35] gogeta: sources of you assertion ? [06:36] hmm let me see if i got this correctly [06:36] Hilikus: I imagine I could...I haven't tried yet [06:36] guillaume: gentoo emerge is just souced compiled for your pc using gcc and emerge [06:36] guillaume: I think that gogeta 's statement isn't his assertion but what gentoo followers believe.. [06:36] so gtk+ provides the interface? :S [06:36] rleeds, update-manager won't probably autoremove orphaned packages, but you will do it later with aptitude or synaptic [06:36] is qt another alternative to gtk+ ?S [06:36] sorry skellingtonx its known as GParted [06:36] Not GPart [06:36] тут Русские есть?! [06:36] <--- kinda confused :D [06:36] phorensic: try that and maybe try to fix the permissions from there [06:36] Scunizi: gentoo and slackware both beleve that [06:37] dsdeiz: qt is a diffreant api for gui stuff. but it is similar to gtk [06:37] phorensic: mysql -u root -p [06:37] dsdeiz: KDE people will tell you to use qt because it works better with KDE [06:37] Scunizi: hes whats someone to cross compile for g3 and he dont understand it will preform badly better to do it nativly [06:37] JohnnyZero:yeah, i know. i just didnt know they had it for windows. ive used it in ubuntu before. [06:37] EagleScreen, My question is whether update-manager will mark automatically installed packages in such a way that only aptitude or apt-get will get it or if either one (or synaptic) would be able to autoremove for me. [06:37] ahh [06:37] oh ok.. on the hand, gtk+ for gnome? [06:37] !ru | Guest41294 [06:37] Guest41294: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [06:37] guillaume: gogeta there is some merrit to it.. optimized kernel and programs for your specific system.. [06:37] EagleScreen, I was under the impression apt-get and aptitude had different databases of what is auto-installed [06:37] is there like a lightweight ui? :S [06:38] Scunizi: gogeta assert that compiling on the same arch as the target arch optimise better, which is (as far as i know) a false assert. Gentoo users think that compiling with specifics optimisations for a specifis arch is faster than a generic build, which can be true [06:38] nik [06:38] dsdeiz: xfce4 which is what xubuntu is. [06:38] dsdeiz: There are usually 2 guis that most apps use. all the apps on kubuntu (usually) run qt while the apps on ubuntu (gnome) use gtk [06:38] skellingtonx, http://www.brunolinux.com/01-First_Things_To_Know/Windows_Tools_-_Gparted.html [06:38] Theres the version for Windows I believe [06:38] I think gtk is pretty lightweight [06:38] dotblank: basically, how are they called? just plain "user interfaces"? [06:39] guillaume: i said cross compling a arc is bad [06:39] couldent even test the build [06:39] guillaume: apples / oranges.. it's an ongoing battle .. and off topic here.. [06:39] Hilikus: well I think the permissions that are wrong are in the /var/www folder and I couldn't find any docs on what they should be set to. I think something like this happened: $var/www: sudo chmod 777 phpmyadmin.. or chmod -Rf 777 phpmyadmin [06:39] you know how you go into a terminal session using alt+F2 etcetra, can you change the screen resolution to make more stuff fit on the screen [06:39] gogeta: but why ? I'm unable to understand why it's bad... [06:39] Scunizi: yea if he whont help himself why bother keep going [06:40] end [06:40] phorensic: you said the problem is not apache and that you can get to the login screen fine [06:40] Scunizi: it's not off topic if I think that gogeta told false assertions about compilations. [06:40] why would the problem be in /var/www then? [06:40] block [06:41] dsdeiz: They are 2 different libraries that a program will use to draw gui elements. [06:41] Hilikus: Hilikuswhen i try to login to phpmyadmin, it gives me the permission error: either world wide permission no supposed to be set or forbidden [06:41] Well anyways guys what I came here for it doesn't look like anyone can help me with so I'll try to help you guys with other issues. [06:41] guillaume: it is because it's not ubuntu specific help.. much easier to go to #ubuntu-offtopic and discuss the specifics [06:41] Scunizi: ok, no problem for that ;) [06:41] no, I'd concure building is OT here, but tolerated heavily...so if you don't go too far it's ok. [06:41] gogeta: you come to offtopic ? [06:41] dsdeiz: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GTK%2B [06:42] Jeruvy: well i end it when i get ot so i am but yes they do let us fly off for a bit [06:42] does this cron job run at 9pm everyday? 0 21 * * * /bin/foobar === chibi is now known as Guest98039 [06:42] JohnnyZero: What was your issue [06:42] gogeta: :) I wouldn't get too pissy about it but now I'm ot :) [06:43] :) [06:43] dotblank, my issue was that my cd burner wasn't burning CDs. Everytime I tried and with each program I tried it said it couldn't fixate the disk. Many people in here said my CD Burner is probably broken. [06:43] phorensic: only after you enter login/pass in phpmyadmin? [06:43] JohnnyZero: does it work in windows? [06:44] Hilikus: no that login doesn't even come up [06:44] dotblank, I actually haven't tried it in windows [06:44] phorensic: so the problem is with the web server, not the database [06:44] I haven't used it in a long time. I was using Ubuntu for about 1 to 2 years and then randomly decided to try burning CDs and it just wouldn't work. [06:44] JohnnyZero: quite possible.. the only other thing to check is to see if the country peramiters have changed for some reason.. That unfortunately I don't know how to do. [06:44] JohnnyZero: I would try it on a windows box and if it doesn't work.. then I guess the drive would be broken [06:45] man that guy whont let it go [06:45] It reads CDs and DVDs but it just doesn't burn them [06:45] I ussually have no issues at with cd burning [06:45] all* [06:45] check the permissions of everything under /var/www/phpmyadmin [06:45] dotblank, thats what everyone in here said. Thats why they told me to run hardware tests on the burner somehow. [06:45] Hilikus: No, the permissions for phpmyadmin and messed up somewhere... do you know what the permissions are supposed to be there? [06:46] it should be owned by root and be 644 [06:46] Hilikus: great I will have him try that [06:46] JohnnyZero: cd burners I believe have 2 different lasers [06:47] dotblank, well my brother is a tech I think he can check it out. You guys are prob right. It is likely broken. [06:47] JohnnyZero: try changing the drives position in the IDE controller.. [06:47] JohnnyZero: replacements are cheep these days. [06:48] JohnnyZero: Yea burners are very cheap.. I even have a blu ray drive [06:48] for those that always wanted to completely obliterate their root dir but couldn't..: http://paste.ubuntu.com/213438/ [06:48] dotblank: is there a burner that support BD?

[08:33] Flannel: Ok [08:34] Wazzzaaa: you could always do something like $HOME/../ [08:34] iMatter: gui hides the mistakes ;) [08:34] Wazzzaaa: and so the short answer is no [08:34] yeah, thnx === Invisible_Porn is now known as noidea [08:34] oskar-: easier to tell for me though.. [08:34] Hi! I want to make my application pam aware. e.g. various apps e.g. system-config-date asks for root password before taking user to actual functionality. I need to know how it is done. Any hints ? [08:35] S_A: are you referring to gksudo? [08:35] oskar-: kinda lost just looking at the section where terminal goes.. [08:35] starts [08:36] Flannel: how would i figure out names of the volumes? [08:36] Old and new [08:36] BadEagle: sorry man, was in root directory first make, make install try :S [08:37] BadEagle: looks like success when done in Desktop directory [08:37] BadEagle: gonna reboot and see... [08:37] l0C0: is it the one called by apps everytime an application is supposed to called with root authentication ? [08:37] iMatter: "cat /proc/partitions" or "blkid"; you should try to understand, what that is all about before doing it. upgrading normally does not need a separate home, so you should consider to do it later [08:38] oskar-: i know...i chose to do it now because i finnally got the guts and backups to kill windows and have enough space [08:38] ok, thnx all for your reaction. I asked this because a script needed some users and red them from /home/ But now I realize when it only give the users in /home SO if I want all, the best option is to get them from the passwd file? [08:38] S_A: yes, just try starting an app with gksudo and have a look, eg. gksudo gedit [08:38] su puneet [08:38] oops! sorry [08:39] lol [08:39] when i use computer janitor it said failed to lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock why i canot clean up?

[09:02] mechdave: AR928X [09:03] mechdave: nope, but I'd really rather avoid using gui tools for this if possible [09:03] I was wondering if it was possible to have grub load a daemon. Ie (Command Line Ubuntu) as one choice and then (GNOME Ubuntu) as another? (All I would need to do is run GDM in GNOME UBUNTU) [09:03] mechdave: errors from what command? Network manager is showing no connection and says SIOCGIFFLAGS error: No such device [09:04] heimdal: if you dont want gdm to load. just ad 'text' to a kernel line in grub [09:05] mechdave: the last entry in lshw is disabled, for an ethernet device pan0; could be issue? [09:05] heimdal: but what about the daemon stuff ? what do you mean ? [09:05] wapko, rephrase that please [09:05] Chris8, can you paste the output of dmesg? [09:06] mechdave ok thank you, here is the error http://paste.ubuntu.com/213494/ [09:06] Phantal, what card do you have?

But, "/away" gets you back from away [09:12] codered1444: is it maybe a port forwading issue ? [09:12] I was just wondering, but then just wondering became a question... Since there was more than just like 1 person who also used Irssi... [09:13] Anyway, I will leave you all be for now.

But you need probably a sound post-processor which will have a preamplifier... [09:18] Hi. I'm looking for software which can convert mkv into 3gp. Any suggestions? [09:18] vise, what do you recommend? [09:18] rodwell: maybe the wrong mixer is selected in your sound settings === jigpe_ is now known as jigp [09:18] mechdave thanks, any ideas?

[09:20] MindVirus: well the premise is much the same [09:20] MindVirus: you want to boost signal out [09:20] MindVirus: aka increase gain [09:20] redsoxking: When you installed the package "firefox-3.5", did it install other packages as well? [09:20] drazak, right, but shouldn't there be a preexisting way using software? [09:20] pinnerup, yep [09:20] I mean, it shouldn't be this quiet.

[09:23] cehr, firefox -safe-mode [09:23] vise: that does not help at all, but thanks... [09:24] shwouchkster, I think you could try searching for how the network manager works.. and try to automate it using a shell script probably.. if you are all that motivated.. :) [09:24] i know it's probably against what ubuntu is... but in my case, with no net connection at home... i'm desperate for ways to setup my linux box without using apt/synaptic etc. [09:24] hi, any idea when ubuntu will introduce php 5.3 into its packageS?

[09:29] what is the difference between hal and udev? [09:30] mechdave, a few days ago I installed firefox 3.5 through proposed, but soon removed it. could that have caused anything? [09:30] mechdave I could have fudged the install I guess, it gave me a little trouble but seemed to go through fine [09:30] Hello, why does the command time -o file ls , give me an error trying to execute -o as a command? === Guest78759 is now known as zer0 [09:31] why the hell flash is slow on ubuntuÜ=? === zer0 is now known as Guest52771 [09:31] MindVirus, While there are no programs I could find for sound post processors, are you sure you have turned up all the controls after right clicking volume icon and selecting "Open volume control" ?

[09:32] mechdave when I go into my synaptics manager and goto broken dependencies, I see "linux-image-server" and linux-restricted-modules-2.6.28.13.17 [09:32] mechdave, could you please help me out with my current dilemma? as soon as you can- of course [09:32] amine, try ls -o file === mab is now known as Guest31620 [09:32] MindVirus, Okay.. Gimme a few more minutes.. [09:33] Saruji, have you tried sudo apt-get -f install linux-image-server [09:33] mechdave during installation it told me that it couldnt install the packages that I had selected, so I just installed LAMP and then went back to install (during the installation) and selected the rest, like ssh, dns [09:33] mechdave no I haven't let me give it a shot [09:33] Don't force anything [09:33] mechdave: I am trying to execute time with a parameter -o file , with a command (for ex : ls or wget) [09:33] but it tries to execute -o [09:33] with apt. If there's a problem--find the problem and fix it. don't just push harder. [09:34] helloimme, what happened when you restarted it by pressing the power button? [09:34] mechdave it says that it could not get a lock on /var/lib/dpkg/lock [09:34] anybody with wireless PXE network boot experience [09:34] mechdave i ran sudo,,,hmm? [09:34] Saruji, mechdave: Don't force things with apt. If there's a problem--find the problem and fix it. Don't just push harder. [09:34] mechdave, no dice, firefox still errors even in safe-mode and doesn't try and make a new .mozilla or anything either... hmm [09:35] Saruji, maybe if you reboot it and then try again [09:35] it wouldn't respond... I had to force it shut. (by holding the power button) [09:35] Flannel, the -f according to man is for fix broken [09:35] mechdave ok doing so now [09:35] anyone with wireless pxe network boot experience [09:36] mechdave: oh honey, oh sweetie pie... i know you're a busy man, but did you forget aboot me? [09:36] administrator__, you need to get your wireless card configured by drivers at BIOS level, I don't know of any way of doing that [09:36] Chris8, Nah mate, getting there [09:37] mechdave: you're loverly [09:37] Chris8, looks like your card is recignised by the system but there is no interface associated with it [09:37] what is the difference between hal and udev [09:38] mechdave: yeah i've installed madwifi driver but it's not taking :S [09:38] mechdave: I should get ubuntu installed once more to elaborate on the issue, i'll be back as soon as I have more information- thank you very much for your time [09:38] mechdave : thank u [09:38] cehr, I reckon you could try and re install all the packages that are seg faulting starting with libc6 [09:39] can onboard wireless doit mechdave [09:39] how do i enable restricted drivers in Jaunty? ubuntu's site only talks about 8.10 and it says System >Administration > Hardware Drivers then check a box... i dont have a box to check [09:39] administrator__, I have zero experience with wireless pxe, I always used ethernet pxe [09:39] MindVirus, Download this package called gnome-alsamixer. It will give you a lot of volume controls. Try tweaking all of them and see if you get the volume you deserve... [09:40] mechdave thank you for your help, I"m going to try and reinstall it again [09:40] vise, alright. I'll tell you about it in a second. [09:40] any idea on the syntax of time command with parameters please? [09:40] amine: man time ? [09:40] Saruji, no worries, sorry we couldn't fix it... good luck :) [09:41] Chris8, does madwifi web site tell you your card is compatable? [09:41] Installation problems with HP SCANJET G2410 [09:41] mechdave, the problem is that apt-get, aptitude and synaptic all segfault. is there an alternate method? [09:41] hateball: examples given give an error (trying to execute the first option as a bash command... [09:41] cehr, Uuuummmmm [09:41] mechdave: checkin... think so... [09:41] hi there..

[09:42] how to resolve hpscanjet G4210 scanner installation [09:43] mechdave, could I do it through the ubuntu livecd, maybe? [09:43] cehr, I don't know... There has to be something changed to make it all segfault, but what? [09:43] hello [09:43] moin [09:43] any one with hpscanjet installations done [09:44] vise, that did not help -- same options as with the default volume control. [09:45] MindVirus, Okay.. one last method.. Go to System->Preferences->Sound and select different devices in the sound playback drop down and test each one to find out which one gives you the maximum volume.. [09:45] hateball: can you try please an example given in the man of time? [09:45] any one know how to solve Dolphin file manager won't mount Ntfs partitions? [09:46] cehr, there may be a way, try booting the livecd as you suggested and then mounting the / partition and then chroot to it and then try the apt-get --reinstall the packages that are affected install === Crazy_ is now known as Guest51310 [09:47] administrator__, try this site --> http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/index.html [09:47] Chris8, How did you go? [09:47] vise, all of them give the same volume. Some could not be used for playback, but one COULD be used for playback but gave NO sound (as opposed to very quiet). [09:47] MindVirus, Hmm.. Im stumped! [09:48] Me too. :( [09:49] how do i enable restricted drivers? [09:49] mechdave, alright, I will try that and come back here if there are any issues. thanks a lot :) [09:49] !restricteddrivers [09:49] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [09:49] cehr, no worries... hope it works [09:49] azlon: go to system>administration>hardware drivers [09:49] indus: im there [09:50] azlon: ya good just tick whatever you see [09:50] and enable [09:50] i dont see a checkbox that says enable restircted drivers [09:50] administrator__, about your wireless pxe boot, if your BIOS has the option to pxe boot on the wireless card then it will work [09:50] azlon: can you paste the image [09:50] !paste | azlon [09:50] azlon: 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 [09:51] i need a screenshot [09:51] Anyone here on a Macintosh Intel laptop? I need some advice. I'm maintaining an installation guide and I need some advice on the Mactel PPA. [09:51] mechdave: hello [09:51] nautilus mount ntfs no problems but dolphin won't, unless "sudo dolphin" is that still a bug in ubuntu or dolphin [09:51] mechdave: i have but that doesn't show me wifi adaptor it shows ethernet [09:51] G'day indus [09:51] Is there a fix for dolpin on ubuntu [09:51] mechdave: long time. been busy? [09:51] administrator__, Then pxe boot will only work with ethernet [09:52] aim: that's dophin not being hooked into hal [09:52] indus, yeah mate flat out... my window here is a sea of red tonight :) [09:52] how do i monitor cpu activity when playing a game? I need to check how much cpu is being used [09:52] indus, how about gkrellm [09:52] mechdave_: I want it the other way [09:52] indus: tons of monitoring tools available ranging from nice graph tools to ncusres tools like top [09:52] richardcavell: will it show me time of registering cpu activity? [09:53] indus: how do i get a screenshot? i thought it was ctrl+print screen [09:53] azlon: alt prtscrn [09:53] mechdave do u work for any company [09:53] indus it keeps a history and shows you a graph. gkrellm is the most sophisticated monitoring software I know of for Linux. [09:53] apt-get is telling me that there are a few packages that had been installed automatically and are no longer required. Should i trust it ans use apt-get autoremove? I have installed stuff from sources too. I don't always use the package manager. [09:54] vise, why wouldn't you trust it? [09:54] administrator__, if you can find a boot disk to activate your wireless card and configure it with an ap and then connect to a pxe server and download an image, then it will work [09:54] administrator__, I do this for fun :) [09:54] richardcavell: the thing is , system monitor also shows this,but does gkrellm save this data so i can check whats going on when i was running an application? [09:54] richardcavell, Since i have installed packages using sources too. That means it might not have the correct information. right? [09:54] hi everyone! I want to do an update of packages, but I shouldn't reboot the machine.. how do I specify apt to install only those updates that do not require a reboot? :) [09:54] ikonia: could you list a few tools in synaptic? [09:54] indus: http://imagebin.org/55159 [09:55] indus: just search for monitoring [09:55] indus: there are many options [09:55] vise, if you downloaded the sources as a package it shouldn't make any difference [09:55] mechdave: any idea how to do [09:55] azlon> how do i enable restricted drivers? have you check this web link https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/musicvideophotos/C/video-dvd.html [09:55] what command can I use to list all the files in a directory and all its sub directories ? [09:55] richardcavell: aah you did mention it saves history,sorry i missed it [09:55] mechdave: best i can find is that there WAS a version of madwifi that supported this chipset [09:55] azlon, your driver is already in use [09:55] jim__: ls -R [09:55] richardcavell, I downloaded few softwares in the tar.gz/tar.bz2 form and did configure, make, make install on them without concerning the package manager. [09:55] indus, it only saves history as a graph [09:56] Chris8, was? [09:56] mechdave: sigh [09:56] indus, it'll keep your CPU history for about 2 minutes [09:56] ikonia, thanks [09:56] mechdave: is that the restricted driver? [09:56] vise, then how does your package manager know that they exist? [09:56] azlon, Yep, you are using it [09:56] richardcavell: naah i need mor ethan that time [09:56] aim: that's dophin not being hooked into hal /// sorry I don't understand "hal" [09:56] indus, I'm running it right now. I use it mainly to monitor bandwidth [09:56] why flash apps are slow on ubuntu? how can i make them fast? [09:56] mechdave: can you suggest a driver for my PCI network adaptor? ath9k was really spotty... [09:57] Chris8, If you can chase down the version that supported your card and install that, then there is a good chance it will work [09:57] Anyone here running Ubuntu on an Intel Macintosh? [09:57] mechdave: it was poop [09:57] mechdave: basically i cant run compiz... i get an error when i try to enable Normal or Extra... i thought it had to do with my drivers [09:57] richardcavell: iam trying to monitor cpu usage in a game, and i want to troubleshoot my lag [09:57] richardcavell, It doesnt.. These packages it mentions that are no longer required, have been installed with packages that i installed from the package manager. But what if the source installs were using them.. I might be confusing you.. If so. never mind.. I will just do an autoremove if the disk space is critical.. [09:57] azlon, you need to paste the errors please [09:57] richardcavell: whether gkrellm can save 30 min? [09:58] indus, it would still work as long as you exit the game and look at the graph within a couple of minutes [09:58] hello [09:58] richardcavell: ok ill try it tonight [09:58] vise, I understand what you mean. But it shouldn't make any difference. [09:58] Chris8, what was the card again? [09:58] mechdave: what is a sea of red? [09:58] indus gkrellm doesn't save that much [09:58] mechdave: AR928x [09:59] indus, when ppl use my nick in message the whole text they type turns red so it stands out [09:59] azlon: and this link https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/musicvideophotos/C/video-playback.html [09:59] mechdave: and i'm running jaunty [09:59] oh how come [09:59] mechdave: http://imagebin.org/55161 [10:00] Chris8, you are a3qp? [10:00] Does anyone know - why did the Firefox 3.5 update use a blue Earth logo without the fox? [10:00] how can i restore discarde documents or deleted files any clue? [10:01] mechdave: a wha? a3qp? [10:01] richardcavell: to distinguish between 3 and 3.5 [10:01] ubuntistas, trash? [10:01] azlon, try tail -20 /var/log/messages > ~/messages.txt and paste the contents of messages.txt to pastebin [10:01] i have a question [10:01] richardcavell: It has to do with legal/trademark issues [10:01] richardcavell: it's not mozilla-branded so they're not allowed to use the official logo. [10:01] is that the normal FF 3.5 logo?

Use that instead of Firefox Addons. :) [10:19] azlon: that's true.. but many companies take advantage of open sourced material and don't contribute [10:19] mobi-sheep: you said you'd post your screenshot, now where is it? [10:19] richardcavell: Let me send you ... Yeah that.

I mean, will the script work even if they need sudo and I run the first script (that have all other scripts inside it) using sudo? [10:34] Evelina: Dunno. You might want to ask experts in #bash [10:34] laeg: that looks like you just did the command so the short answer is yes but it wont store, you would need to look at editing your .sshconf file [10:34] mobi-sheep: Ok, thanks anyway!

Is "Ubuntu Server" an alias or something? [10:37] I am starting gnome without xorg.conf because X -configure generated one that didn't start gnome at all. Is there some temporary xorg.conf file generated by X? [10:37] richardcavell_: yes, irc.ubuntu.com (or chat.ubuntu.com or whatever) points to freenode [10:38] okay, then I'm in XChat.

How?

I have a bandwidth monitor, and it does appear to be downloading, but it doesn't unhang [11:02] moymoy: well,power button is shutdown for my system also? why? [11:02] richardcavell: anything in dmesg when it hangs? [11:02] hi everone [11:02] indus: but windows tends to swap a lot and uses pagefiles with the files are fragmented [11:02] So if a script has a permisison that the script interpreter doesn't, will it jive? [11:02] ActionParsnip: um... what is that and how do I tell? [11:02] moymoy: its amother board feature [11:02] moymoy: yeah swaps a lot more true, hdd Noisy [11:02] indus: It just is. It took xchat and turned it into something silly. (eg branding it xchat-gnome). Gnome do that to improve if they think it need to be improved.

[11:05] moymoy: no [11:05] administrator__: not me [11:05] hi could anyone please give some good reasons on why i should swich to Ubuntu?

Now i'm using weechat [11:06] how to uncomment pdf file lines any clue i don't get it [11:06] The-IT, you can install apps from the command line, i.e., apt-get install openoffice.org will do most everything that happens when I buy a $150 piece of MS software and put the cd and click ok, ok, ok, (type name), ok, ok, ok. [11:06] moymoy: I'm downloading xchat, so we'll see how we go [11:06] ActionParsnip, i was just wander why one would choose Ubuntu over windows [11:07] qe2eqe, thats cool [11:07] http://webupd8.blogspot.com/2009/03/recover-deleted-files-in-ubuntu-debian.html [11:07] The-IT, I like Ubuntu because all the software is free and easy to install [11:07] The-IT: the problems switch from every week reinstalling windows to every day inform yourself how to get the problems solved [11:07] The-IT: personally I only chat and web browse so I can use any OS. I don't pay for Linux but have topay for windwows, so I save cas [11:07] The-IT: I use Linux because I prefer the enviroment compared to windows [11:07] could anyone check if .yml files are being displayed in gedit file browser.

[11:14] looks like a biggy [11:14] how to uncomment pdf file lines any clue i don't get it http://webupd8.blogspot.com/2009/03/recover-deleted-files-in-ubuntu-debian.html [11:14] CosmicChaos, well ye but why would any swich if windows is just so much simpler? [11:14] my xmms is crashing when i click "double size" is it only me? [11:15] The-IT: yes, intelligent people! === ubuntor123 is now known as summer [11:15] The-IT: who want to extra features, seacurity, better environment, open source codes, whatever [11:16] The-IT: anyone that is interested into learning [11:16] hi, i want to install netbeans so it uses the sun JDK, since open-jdk causes it to look horrible. Any advice? [11:16] anyone here have xmms? :/ [11:16] The-IT: if you reject learning linux you can forget it [11:16] Xmms sucks. [11:16] CosmicChaos, well why dident you just say that b4 when i aske why i should wsich? [11:16] xmms rocks [11:16] (imho) [11:16] The-IT: its all a matter of taste. All I can say is install it to a USB stick and give it a try [11:16] u suck === Crazy is now known as Guest54852 [11:16] zomg flamewar. [11:17] !xmms [11:17] xmms is no longer being developed, see http://bugs.debian.org/461309 for more details. Consider using audacious, bmpx, or xmms2 instead. [11:17] shaullx: xmms isnt devloped anymore [11:17] * spudCakePie gets an aerosol can and a lighter [11:17] so what it can still be downloaded [11:17] The-IT: why i didnt say that? actually im still saying that, still answering your question [11:17] spudCakePie: please get a grip on your comments, this is for ubuntu support only [11:17] its a good player [11:17] shaullx: true but any bugs will never get fixed [11:17] If you want a good winapm-ish player, use audacious. [11:17] The-IT: What are you trying to accomplish though? [11:17] shaullx: oh it is a great player [11:17] But I prefer MOC. [11:17] shaullx: Please stay courteous while in this channel, thanks. [11:18] does anybody using linpopup? is it working fine to receive messages from windows? [11:18] vlc because I can control it with my g1 phone :) [11:18] The-IT: I'd say windows is simpler, provided you have used it a lot, all things being equal ubuntu and windows are probably about the same in "complexity" (although things are never equal, everyone knows windows and hence finds it easier...) [11:18] The-IT: i mean you didn't at least say from with os you would switch, windows, macos, unix.... [11:18] «Hetor`» tnx ill try [11:19] I'm lagging from time to time [11:19] richardcavell: pm me please [11:19] The-IT: give it a go, expand your horizons [11:19] kayn chi marroki hna [11:19] yeah sorry, ive gone to #ubuntu now, thanks anyway [11:19] technomat, english please [11:20] okay [11:20] arand: i know people claiming simplicity is usefull. whell what the mean is simple visualisation... but windows does not only visualisize simple... it IS simple, and that from my point of view means it is not usefull for any complex thing, and i do ver complex stuff, so windows is not an option [11:20] arand: i hardly know windows at all [11:21] arand: i got a vista msdn dvd and it took me an hour to install sound drivers and crank the page file [11:21] My opinion: Being linux user is easier than Windows user and I truly believe that people have balls to be a Windows user. Reinstalling OS, programs, reconfiguring settings and stuffs all times. [11:21] arand its an OS whats to be hard about it? [11:22] come..vista...come, put put.. steve they wont eat my shit.... wenn bill, actually the gained to much xp... [11:22] I'm using xchat. There's a marker that's supposed to indicate how far down I've read. How do I move that marker down to indicate that I've read more? [11:22] koshari: see above.. [11:22] richardcavell: That only happen when you switch tabs. [11:22] thank you all for your opinions. [11:22] let's take Windows vs. Ubuntu chat to #ubuntu-offtopic CosmicChaos mobi-sheep The-IT et all [11:22] i don't like xchat i use mirc :O [11:22] bazhang, ok [11:22] bazhang: i will not, but i stop it at all, i apologize [11:22] ActionParsnip from a users perspective all the hard stuff has been done by the sys admin [11:23] shaullx: you use mIRC in WINE? crashalot? [11:23] i didn't use it for a long time but no it doesnt [11:23] mobi-sheep: Okay. Now how do I make messages to my nickname stand out more? [11:23] shaullx: dcc transfers work? [11:23] haven't tried [11:23] koshari: true but i was setting it up how I did 2000/98. Just took longer, really hard to use but Ive been using linux pure for about 8 years. [11:23] mobi-sheep: at the moment they're in red but I'm color blind and I'd prefer it to flash or something [11:24] shaullx: doesnt the nag drive you nuts, or did you pay for something you can get for free on the repos? [11:24] ActionParsnip so in reality it was infamiluarity that was the difference [11:24] richardcavell: I'll look up something for you. [11:24] momoy you got dcc? === chowder is now known as Guest79487 [11:24] from me? [11:24] richardcavell: the messages with your nick are considered "highlighted text" .. there's probably a setting somewhere in the preferences that lets you bold it or something [11:25] what nag [11:25] koshari: exactly, and thats what many new linux users experience [11:25] «ActionParsnip» what nag? [11:25] shaullx: the "register now" nag [11:25] «ActionParsnip» u can patch it [11:25] shaullx: thats illegal [11:25] shaullx: yah.. outkast xD [11:25] «ActionParsnip» so what lol [11:26] shaullx: sad but...oh well [11:26] I want the Samsung NC20 pretty damn bad but I just know as soon as I buy it they'll release the 3G version =/ [11:26] what should I do ? [11:26] moymoy: I can only change the color [11:26] «ActionParsnip» i download movies and games with p2p its more illegal [11:26] moymoy: but I can get it to beep [11:26] Where do i get the sources for programs like /sbin/init for ubuntu?

[11:26] kk [11:26] shaullx: again...sad [11:26] shaullx: i got the dcc request, but it doesn't connect .. probably because i'm lagging though [11:26] Hi, cannot access windows share with host name using smbmount. when i specify ip address it works okay, but with hostname it gives me 'permission denied' error. what's wrong? [11:27] momoy i canceled it [11:27] wait ill try again [11:27] i think it gets confused that it shouldnt be the users responsibility to install backup ect, that jsut happens to be that case mose linux users are the sys admin as well.... you dont need to know how to load the OS on an ATM or a Calculator [11:27] koshari, not clear what your question is [11:28] moymoy: pm me just to test it [11:28] richardcavell: you can give weechat a shot.. it runs in the terminal though, so it takes a little getting used to, but here, you can press ALT+P or ALT+N to scroll through messages to your nick [11:28] juniecho: can you use IP address? [11:28] Check out libnotify. It can do audio / notification popup. :) [11:28] richardcavell: ^^ [11:28] oh man i hate libnotify [11:28] ActionParsnip: yes when i use IP address it works perfectly [11:29] juniecho: then add an entry for the name to ip conversion in /etc/hosts [11:29] wow? [11:29] juniecho: and set the file server to use a static ip [11:29] shaullx: still no .. lol [11:29] then it doesnt [11:29] is it just me or did like 50 guys just logged out [11:30] netsplit.

If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [11:30] actionparsnip: but doesn't that mean i have to disable dhcp in my wireless router? [11:30] shaullx: I think it is just you. [11:31] how general user can bind privilleged tcp/udp port ? [11:31] juniecho: no, you just set the server box to static ip. The rest of the computers will be able to use dhcp [11:31] juniecho: if a system is using a static ip it will never request an IP from the pool, provided its IP address falls into the subnet mask then it can communicate [11:31] i'm following a guide and have been asked to check that i have Nvidia 180.44 Drivers installed, how can i do this? === Guest88301 is now known as enzotib [11:32] laeg, check in hardware drivers [11:32] nvm i have them [11:32] bazhang: ty [11:32] actionparsnip: i think that will cause problem because that file server is my laptop and i take it with myself everywhere :( [11:32] laeg: gksudo nvidia-settings [11:32] bazhang: checked in nvidia x server settings [11:32] ActionParsnip: ty [11:32] juniecho: then it may change ip address if you use dhcp === enzotib is now known as Guest86328 [11:32] juniecho: hmm [11:32] jest tu ktoś z poland? [11:33] juniecho: you could add the IP address of your router to /etc/resolv.conf [11:33] artur_, #ubuntu-pl [11:33] ActionParsnip, bazhang: is there anyway to check if they're the proprietary or open source version? [11:33] juniecho: follow the same format as what is currently in there [11:33] juniecho, can you assign a static ip address from the router based on your MAC address? [11:33] richardcavell: You see it? [11:33] laeg, that would be the proprietary ones [11:33] laeg: if you run: lshw -C display | grep nv [11:34] laeg: if you see 'nv' its open, if you see 'nvidia' its proprietary [11:34] mechdave: i've never tried it but i think that may be possible [11:34] where is audacious folder :( [11:34] juniecho, what is the brand and model of your router? [11:34] so can anyone help me with not-root user and binding network port <1024 [11:34] mechdave: linksys wrt54g [11:35] bazhang, ActionParsnip: ty [11:35] juniecho: gksudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf [11:35] juniecho: add a line nameserver [11:35] juniecho: e.g. nameserver 10.0.0.1 [11:35] actionparsnip: i'm on it, you mean 192.168.1.1? [11:36] juniecho: if thats it's address then yes [11:36] juniecho: once its added, save the new file and close gedit, then run: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [11:36] the server kicked me off a few min ago saying i was flooding, but i had the window min and wasnt even useing it... [11:36] juniecho: then try pinging the name [11:36] Dreki: You may be a part of a recurring netsplit awhile ago. [11:37] hey i have a problem, when i get to the loggin window, and select sessions, the text is so small so i cant read what to chose. any ideas on how to get the size larger? [11:37] on the text?

[11:37] mobi-sheep: my current theme is difficult to read on laptop screen [11:37] where is .local folder? [11:37] nvm [11:37] hello [11:37] richardcavell: Windows Flag + M (If that help you). [11:38] shaullx, all .folders are hidden [11:38] actionparsnip, it says... ignoring unknown interface wlan0=wlan0. should i reboot this system? [11:38] juniecho: worth a go, check the file once you are booted round [11:38] hello [11:38] mobi-sheep: I'm on a Mac [11:38] alieuj, hi [11:39] how are u [11:39] mobi-sheep: all I want is all black text on white but if a message contains my nickname it stands out [11:39] alieuj, do you have a support question? here is support; #ubuntu-offtopic is chat [11:40] what the jeebus,, [11:40] i can't post in #apache? [11:41] richardcavell: You might have to edit colors for that one. Mac? If you're running Ubuntu, there are "negative film" effect on SUPER + M. You would have to edit colors and that's hassle in XChat. You could opt for seperate message tab. (See @highlight tab?) [11:41] NET||abuse: try #httpd [11:41] juniecho, doesn't look like you have that functionality, maybe you could use a interface alias [11:41] mobi-sheep: I'm just going to change all the colors manually [11:42] juniecho, depends on what happens when dhcp runs === henrik_ is now known as pik} [11:42] and just now all the icons vanished off my desktiop and i can't see any nautilus window if i'm connecting to a smb share on a server? [11:42] lstarnes, thanks #httpd is what i need, cheers [11:43] richardcavell: Alright. :) [11:44] richardcavell: there's a little checkbox in the preferences "strip colors" i assume that does what you want [11:44] is it possible to resize audacious? === Crazy is now known as Guest84409 [11:45] shaullx, you can downsize it to a thin strip [11:45] mechdave, is there any way that i can make it work without IP? isn't smbmount supposed to work with hostnames? [11:46] Nautilus seg faults, but Ubuntu does not show me the crash detection window [11:47] why? [11:47] hello guys [11:47] hi kunal [11:47] i am trying to use my cellphone to connect to the internet with my laptop. what files should i be looking at for that? [11:47] what is the comman to find out my graphics card in terminal? [11:47] so what's the beef here, i tried to open a samba share on our server here, nautilus vanished whe i did that and all the icons on the desktop too. i have a blank desktop.... rest of my apps are still here though? [11:48] kunal: are you trying to make your laptop use your phone to connect to the internet? [11:48] yes. [11:48] via bluetooth [11:49] Pokesomi: lshw -C video [11:49] NET||abuse: press ALT+F2 and type in nautilus and press enter .. your nautilus crashed [11:49] does anyone know about linux asknetwork install ? [11:49] kunal: that's called tethering .. look for any tethering applications for your phone [11:49] moymoy, oh? is that it? does that restart all nautilus instances? [11:49] i want to make it larger [11:49] moymoy, weird. [11:49] bazhang [11:49] shaullx, then no [11:49] :( [11:50] NET||abuse: it won't restart all instances, but it will restore your desktop and all [11:50] moymoy, : thanks, does ubuntu come with default tethering applications? [11:50] moymoy, actually i'm getting it again, i just did that, got a nautilus window up, the icons seemed to reappear, then i clicked on the bookmark for the smb mounted folder, it died and icons vanished again?? [11:50] kunal: i don't think ubuntu comes with any.. do some google searches.. [11:51] ok. thanks moymoy :) [11:51] kunal: pretty sure your phone needs a tethering app installed also === Wajih is now known as MaWaLe [11:52] NET||abuse: hmm.. nautilus should handle smb shares just fine.. is the share mounted on a folder? or is it mounted using gvfs-mount [11:52] moymoy, gvfs i think [11:52] NET||abuse: did you mount using fstab or with a 'sudo mount'? [11:52] yeh, it's in bookmarks, used places to make link [11:52] the connect-to server wizard or just browsing network through nautilus and bookmarking [11:52] has worked fine for ages, [11:52] just started crashing right now.. [11:53] NET||abuse: are you able to ls your mounted directory? or does it freeze the terminal? [11:53] moymoy i'll check, one note, i have a vista vm and it's able to open the same share no probl [11:54] the share is on a linux server with samba, also it's nfs mounted across from another server with big batch of drives.. [11:54] NET||abuse: why can't you just mount with nfs then? [11:54] so it's me connect to samba on server A, the share points at /mnt/data/shares/Sharename where /mnt/data is an nfs mount point to Server B :) [11:55] hey all [11:55] moymoy, cause i couldn't be arsed fecking around with portmapper and such on my laptop when it's already doen for me on the server and all i have to do is use gnome [11:55] how do I change a simlink again? [11:55] ive installed the sun java jdk using apt-get install sun-java6-jdk, how do I find where it installed to? [11:56] moymoy, oh and also the servers are on a different network segment behind a router, and only the server running samba is visible [11:56] Is there any way to check the permission of particular folder/file ? [11:56] ls -a [11:56] er, -l [11:56] spudCakePie easiest way I know of is to open up synaptic, look for that package and look at the package details [11:56] human: ls -l [11:56] human: or just right click in nautilus [11:56] NET||abuse: xD okay.. well gvfs mounted shares are usually mounted on folders in the ~/.gvfs directory.. have you looked in there? try with nautilus too [11:56] and how to change the permission [11:57] human: chmod [11:57] hello [11:57] moymoy, just went in on terminal, .gvfs/Public Share on blah blah, no problem [11:57] human: type in "man chmod" to get details on how to use it.. if you don't want to use the terminal, you can just right-click and click on properties, permissions [11:57] moymoy: can list that dir and subdirs no prob [11:58] human: there is a long list of switches and stuff for chmod.. man chmod will tell you more.. or google for chmod, I'm sure there are lots of small tutorials out there [11:58] how do i add mem=750 to the kernel boot parametres? [11:58] hi there all :) [11:58] NET||abuse: i see.. delete the current bookmark you have and make another bookmark pointing at the folder in ~/.gvfs =] [11:58] okay Slart [11:58] laeg: in the grub configuration file, I would guess [11:58] I want to change /etc/alternatives/xinput-all_ALL to point to scim-bridge, how do I do that? [11:58] laeg: it's /boot/grub/menu.lst [11:59] no, its not helpful, it lies. it says it installed the jdk in /usr/share/menu [11:59] Anyone know how to upgrade to wicd 1.6? [11:59] spudCakePie: locate sun-java6-jdk [11:59] Slart: so i just add mem=750mb anywhere? [11:59] moymoy, just ps aux | grep home and i find /usr/lib/gvfs//gvfs-fuse-daemon running.. worth giving this a restart? [11:59] moymoy, not sure how to do that though, if you have any ideas? [11:59] chazco, current version is 1.5.9, why do you need the latest version [12:00] laeg: no, it's a big file, with instructions in the actual file.... open it by running "gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst" [12:00] Slart: ty [12:00] bazhang - Few slight bugs in the current version which are fixed in 1.6.0. 1.5.9 in the repo is now out of date. [12:00] laeg: make a backup before you start changing things around.. in case something bad happens.. oh.. and after you've edited that file you have to run "sudo update-grub" in a terminal [12:01] chazco, installing outside of the package management system is not a good idea for such a trivial issue [12:01] mobi-sheep: I've installed the blue theme now. It's working much better! [12:01] Please help http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7586566#post7586566 [12:01] richardcavell: Yay! <3 [12:01] mobi-sheep: yeah. The blue theme looks much better on my laptop screen. [12:02] Slart: thanks. i searched the file for the string mem and it's only found in relation to memtest, there are no instructions on manually setting the memory [12:02] bazhang - I would agree, but some of them arent so trivial... network manager is unable to use my wifi, wicd 1.5.9 can, but sometimes cannot connect which can cause issues [12:02] hello! If I removed ipv4 support for the kernel, why is it still compiling it? And yesterday I removed a *lot* of stuff from the kernel, and got the exact same size of the image [12:02] NET||abuse: hmm there's a file that stores bookmarks, but i can't find it right now.. you can't add using places? === angela is now known as Guest30264 [12:03] axos88: ipv4, or ipv6? [12:03] hi, i'm connected to a network with two public gateways to the internet. is it possible to set up a both routers as gateways and use one for everything except *only* the apache http server? [12:03] laeg: there is a line in there where you set what kernel options you want to use.. it doesn't have all the possible options available so you have to add it manually, the line starts with "defoptions=" [12:03] lstarnes, both actually, i don't need networking at all [12:03] Slart: tyvm [12:03] NET||abuse: browse to your samba share in the ~/.gvfs directory and click Places; Add to Bookmarks [12:03] richardcavell: Got anything else you might want to know about?

[12:04] laeg: at the moment my line is "defoptions=splash vga=771" ... on my computer I would change that to "defoptions=splash vga=771 mem=500".. then run "sudo update-grub" [12:04] mobi-sheep: how do I make it go some color other than red when someone mentions me? I'm color blind and red looks weird to me [12:05] laeg: or whatever you wanted the mem switch to be [12:05] moymoy, just checked the .gvfs dir from within nautilus, i try to click on the mounted share in .gvfs and same thing as before happens, it just vanished and takes icons off desktop... i'll try wha tyou say, delete and remake book mark now.. hold on 2 secs [12:05] lstarnes, oh shit... right... have to think about it, but I don't really have much right now besides busybox and the kernel. however the wierd thing is it is building for a very long time (2,4 Ghz, 256 RAM, about 1h30), and produces the same binary if i remove a lot of stuff [12:05] i use make bzImage [12:05] axos88, please no cursing [12:05] sry [12:06] axos88: a lot of stuff is still compiled but kept in separate modules instead of in the bzimage [12:06] moymoy, woah,, ok, even clicking on Network in nautilus makes it do the same thing, i deleted the share bookmark then tried to click network to go bookmark the share again, vanished [12:06] lstarnes, even if they are unchecked completely (not M, empty box) [12:07] axos88: in that case it wouldn't be built unless something else being built required it [12:07] lstarnes, ok, so maybe that's why it is building so long, but why is it producing the same binary? [12:08] NET||abuse: hmm this is why i hate samba shares.. and they cause hangs at shutdown [12:08] NET||abuse: for me, nautilus always crashed or froze when my samba share was down [12:08] NET||abuse: but your server is still up and running, right? [12:08] yeah, nautilus always hangs while waiting for a samba share to respond [12:09] moymoy, yeh, i can browse and read, edit, create new stuff on my vista vm [12:09] i thought it was just me [12:09] !ext4 [12:09] Sorry, I don't know anything about ext4 [12:09] moymoy, so the server is running away no prob [12:09] NET||abuse: do you keep your vista vm running all the time?

[12:10] hi all [12:10] i suspect that for some reason it builds EVERYTHING [12:10] axos88: I don't think it builds everything [12:10] NET||abuse: try umounting it and then mounting it again [12:12] lstarnes, i don't understand... last time i got a 2MB binary, now I get 7MB [12:12] i want to ask how i can repire my /dev/sda, yeasterday i make debian boot form flash, this required to make changes to /dev/sda and currently i not have access to my old grub options.

[12:20] My wireless connection shows up, with signal strength but it won't connect. The LAN works fine [12:20] richardcavell: You could use sleep, I think.

When I try to login (GUI, GNOME) I get session lasted less than 10 seconds... the last line in .xsesson-errors reads "export: 2: -d bad variable name" [12:24] richardcavell: you should use the fresh prince theme instead :) [12:24] Hi, I am trying to install hamster-applet using aptitude install and it is using Python3.0 rather than python2.6 how do i change it; This is of course causing many bugs [12:24] Boohbah: is he from belle air? [12:24] networkmanager-kde. I'll give it a go [12:24] slart: I THINK whatever that line is SHOULD read scim -d, but I have no idea where to look [12:24] moymoy, sorry, i'm trouble shooting an apache problem at the same time.. you were saying? [12:25] alasdairsim, install it with "sudo aptitude -R install networkmanager-kde" [12:25] becomingGuru: you will need to upgrade python to 3.0 [12:25] I Did The Install option from the LiveCD does it mean the install is done when the UI starts? [12:25] moymoy, trying to sort out modrewrite and using a location block to password protect a url [12:25] becomingGuru: did you check bugs.ubuntu.com? [12:25] (Live CD UI) [12:25] jrib, No I dint [12:25] moymoy, anyway.. unmount the .gvfs is an idea, gimme a sec [12:25] JoeM: hmm... sounds odd that one failed export line would kill X.. [12:25] alasdairsim, you will need to close the gnome applet [12:26] becomingGuru: you can install python 2.6 - and if the applety be call it as 'python2.6' instead of just 'python' it should work then.. or you may need to edit the applet code to call the older python [12:26] iMatter: did you run through the install process, like specify username and partitions etc [12:26] I am trying to rename the 3.0 into 1.0, and thinking that it looks for the latest version of python on the system [12:26] becomingGuru: that doesn't make sense to me... [12:26] do you mean, uninstall it? === ubuntu is now known as ubuntu__ [12:26] becomingGuru: ive seen a few other python programs that dont like the newer python. [12:26] moymoy, not sure how to unmount this by hand? [12:26] Dr_Willis, I have python 2.5 2.6 3.0 and 3.1 on my system, but it is by default using python23.0 [12:26] becomingGuru: why don't you pastebin what led you to your current conclusions? [12:27] NET||abuse: if it's mounted using gnome, then you just click the eject button, no? [12:27] becomingGuru: so you need to edit that program then to call Python 2.5 not 'python' [12:27] Hello, i've run into some problems with mdamd :( [12:27] iMatter: yes [12:27] NET||abuse: sudo umount /mount/point [12:27] Dr_Willis, Call to python calls python2.6 [12:27] moymoy, yeh, got that ;) === Crazy is now known as Guest23439 [12:27] JoeM: can you pastebin you .xsession-errors ... and perhaps /var/log/Xorg.0.log [12:27] iMatter: then shutdown the pc, take out the cd and power up [12:27] slart before that happened I ran two commands, im-switch -s scim-bridge, and sudo update-alternatives --config xinput-all_ALL [12:27] ActionParsnip: Yes, and it was on the % part ( i chose the install option from the first-boot part thing) [12:27] But on installation i get the following error message INFO: using unknown version '/usr/bin/python3.0' (debian_defaults not up-to-date?) [12:27] JoeM: there's nothing relevant in var/log/syslog? [12:27] ActionParsnip, gvfs daemon is mounting it, i tried sudo umount on it and it said not allowed for block devices [12:28] is there any way of stopping it from syncing? i only wish to format the software array raid i've maid [12:28] ActionParsnip, or sorry, block devices not permitted on fs [12:28] ActionParsnip: then screen went blank for a few minutes then the Live CD UI came up and it made the sound [12:28] GeorgeJ : ?? [12:28] slart let me look, I managed to get into a failsafe gnome login [12:28] iMatter: hmm, sounds like its done to me, give it a whirl [12:28] ActionParsnip: Ok then [12:28] iMatter: you can always rerun [12:28] d'oh [12:29] hmm, moymoy just unmounted it in nautilus, the .gvfs subdirectory for it was gone, then i tried to just browse the network again, still crashing nautilus? [12:29] so not even mounted and it still crashsed [12:29] weird [12:29] NET||abuse: if it's mounted using gvfs, the umount command probably won't work.. and mounts mounted using 'sudo mount' can't be umounted using gnome [12:29] NET||abuse: what are you clicking when it crashes? or does it just crash by itself? [12:29] I've managed to set up mdadm. Made myself a software raid array. Now its syncing for some reason even if the paritions are blank. Is there any way to stop it from syncing and make both member partitions blank? [12:29] moymoy, yeh, they're seperate systems. i saw that. [12:29] Oh wait im not done yet.. [12:30] need to add space to /home === john is now known as Guest28658 [12:30] slart in syslog I keep seeing an error about gdmgreeter not finding theme engine in module_path: "ubuntulooks" around the time I tried to login, then a [12:30] is this where I can ask questions about ubuntu?

I'd like them both blank [12:32] moymoy, i'll have to leave it for now. [12:32] I found that most of my extensions for firefox do not work in 3.5 [12:32] NET||abuse: sudo mount //IP-ADDRESS/share /folder [12:32] or will it stay as a separate install?

[12:34] moymoy, grand, but thanks for all the advice,, it's just a bit of a thing with me, i like trying to understand why gnome or other aspects of thelinux desktop go glitchy, and try to nail down a fix, then document and post bugs if i can understand enough of the problem [12:34] JoeM: hmm.. the only thing I can find is that error about export [12:34] linduxed: i got them both installed.. i dont see much need for me to use 3.5 yet. [12:34] ActionParsnip: its not a fix, i want tracemonkey among other things [12:34] slart same, and 2 -d makes me thing something is messed up and it SHOULD be scim -d [12:35] NET||abuse: that's a good habit though.. xD [12:35] NET||abuse: model linux user ;) [12:35] slart but I have no idea where (or how) a 2 got in there... so not sure where to look for it [12:35] Dr_Willis, there's nothing in it on the 64bit side of use, i was interested in the new javascript engine, but they've not built it with 64bit support as i understand. something to do with not using proper styles of library linking [12:35] moymoy, haha, hardly, i ask stupid questions sometimes... [12:36] Hey Guys [12:36] moymoy, but i try to make up for it by participating in bug tracking a little [12:36] JoeM: mm.. google isn't very helpful either [12:36] NET||abuse: not noticed. Ive just played with it on this 64bit box a little.

[12:37] Dr_Willis, what did they say, tracemonkey is meant to be 20 to 40 times faster than the old JS vm,, it just falls backto the old one in 64 bit i believe [12:37] i broke the apache config fiel and i want to make a fresh install of apache2 [12:37] JoeM: cd /; sudo grep -R "stuff" * [12:37] i did an apt-get purge apache2 and then an apt-get install apache2, but it wasn't resinstalled [12:37] JoeM: sorry... that will only search from the current directory grep -R "blablabla" /* would search from root [12:37] JoeM: the sudo just suppresses access denied messages [12:38] Dr_Willis, so we're deprived of imrpoved js, which still isn't even as fast as opera's js vm, V8 or the IE8 js engine [12:38] * Akiva is seriously considering killing GNU Cash [12:38] i deleted the contecnts of /etc/apache2... and now nothing new will install [12:38] actionparsnip right, thanks [12:38] AlexJ: sudo apt-get --reinstall install apache2 [12:38] NET||abuse: i just like the message on some video sites now that says --> "Thanks to the new HTML 5
