[00:00] thanks [00:00] can anyone help me with ffmpeg? [00:00] fwaokda, nohup programname [00:00] hello, KB1JWQ [00:00] mcphail: Some systems will kill any backgrounded task opened within a specific terminal when that terminal dies. [00:00] Okay: there's certainly no reason not to use proprietary drivers, but charging for something that's included in Windows drivers is a little... questionable [00:00] k5ehx: Helo. [00:00] fwaokda, nohup tells app to ignore sighup signal [00:00] anyone that is good with alsa? [00:00] mcphail, didn't work :( [00:00] mcphail, is there a guide to using ardour? [00:01] anybody have pointers on troubleshooting Xorg startups? I seem to have the right module loaded in the kernel, but I don't really know how to deal with modules / drivers in xorg [00:01] khazil, yeah, I read about some alternatives, but they seem to all have downsides to them [00:01] fwaokda: As I said, run it inside of a screen session. You can reattach later with screen -x [00:01] mcphail: im on an asus eeepc 1000ha with an hdd, not an ssd. i was really just wondering what applications i could remove to speed up my boot even more. (it's faster than winxp as it is) [00:01] Apollo2366: yes - tutorial on the web page. It is a complex and powerful piece of kit [00:01] k5ehx: The X log is your friend. [00:01] anyone else use phpmyadmin in jaunty and got it working? [00:01] syslq78, doing 'nohup command' seemed to work thanks [00:01] Okay: it's probably impossible to work around kernel software [00:02] skellington: for a start, edit /boot/grub/menu.lst to remove the countdown from the grub menu [00:02] fwaokda, you can also suspend it with ctrl+z, than put it to background with bg and use disown -h job_id to detach it from parent process, if it's already running [00:02] KB1JWQ: yeah, it's not being very friendly though. Just says "saw signal 11" and has "intel_drv" in the traceback. [00:02] fwaokda, np [00:02] !ssl [00:02] Sorry, I don't know anything about ssl [00:02] !openssl [00:02] Sorry, I don't know anything about openssl [00:02] !open ssl [00:02] Sorry, I don't know anything about open ssl [00:02] mcphail: did that already. [00:02] * laclasse has fruit pastilles [00:02] !lib [00:02] Sorry, I don't know anything about lib [00:02] laclasse, should esd-common be related to almost whole gnome? [00:02] swapon problem?? [00:02] !botabuse [00:02] Please investigate with me only with "/msg ubottu Bot" or in #ubuntu-bots. Search for factoids with "/msg ubottu !search factoid". [00:03] Socah, esd = Enlightment Sound Daemon [00:03] skellington: the eeebuntu forums have a few tips on speeding up boot. Will probably apply to ubuntu as well [00:03] Hey all: I'm having an issue with dual displays in ubuntu. When I try to drag a window to my 2nd screen, it stops at the edge and doesn't let me fully utilize it. Any suggestions? [00:03] I'm trying to fix the intel video bug and I've got the instructions, but I just can't get to anywhere to fix it... GDM freezes, none of the grub boot options which are useful are getting me to any shell I can carry out the commands... Anyone know of any way to get around the freeze on boot? The guide I'm trying to follow is here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130582 [00:03] jdudeski: I think that's what is happening to me, maybe [00:03] mcphail: ill have a gander, may have a fix for my wpa problem as well. one more question, is xfce faster than gnome? [00:03] k5ehx: likely, you have intel onboard? [00:03] I get this error when I try ./configure... checking for ssl... configure: error: Cannot find ssl libraries, what ssl libs do I need... got OpenSSL..? :) [00:04] jdudeski: it's a notebook, 945GM or some such [00:04] XFCE is faster than gnome, yes skellington [00:04] more than 1000 users online and nobody knows nothing about ffmpeg? [00:04] Socah, esd is dated ...it uses OSS ... so esd works with also only across the oss compat module: asoundconf set-oss PARAMETER [00:04] khazil, guess I should have installed a windows partition huh? [00:04] yeah k5ehx, you're bitten by the bug [00:04] skellington: not really. You can strip gnome down and it will run almost as fast [00:04] aleksio: use avidemux [00:04] Thank you all! I got my cron job and rtcwake working as it should. At least it seem to work! Thanks for all help. [00:04] Tavi: you have tried all the screen edges? [00:04] Ramonster: Source build isn't really the ubuntu way. [00:04] where's k5land? [00:04] nsadmin: oklahoma here, tulsa [00:04] How do I send two notifications that will stack (both shows simultaneously) using notify-sedn from CLI? [00:04] k5ehx: tnx, i'll try it [00:04] Socah, but not sure if e17 doe not use it [00:04] alright guys, thanks [00:04] Okay: Or just pay for software that works [00:04] Ramonster: What're you trying to install? [00:04] k5ehx: freeze up on boot? can't get to anywhere to fix it? [00:04] Okay: alternatively, you can buy hardware that works [00:05] s/notify-sedn/notify-send/ [00:05] cuddlefish: Yeah, it's the correct edge becuaes it's dragging onto the second screen partially. But it's acting like it's not really dual display--it also isnt letting me right click on the Desktop of the 2nd display [00:05] KBIJWQ: Arcemu core; a WoW Private Server :P [00:05] so also say texas, arizona and NM? [00:05] Okay: is this a parallel port printer, or USB? [00:05] KBIJWQ: Their IRC Isnt realy helpfull tho [00:05] it's usb [00:05] Ramonster: That's a 1, not an I in my nick. [00:05] And there's only one mouse pointer? (Just trying to rule out all the noob questions) [00:06] Ramonster: And yeah, good luck with that. :) [00:06] Okay: then you can use Sun's proprietary (but free) xVM, run windows and pass through the printer driver [00:06] help please: what is Super in the hot keys? Thanks [00:06] KB1JWQ: im sorry :P [00:06] hilltop: Generally the 'windows' key [00:06] khazil, okay. I'll go give that a try [00:06] Ramonster: Mistype someone's nick and they don't get flagged; they'll miss your post in a busy channel like this. Type the first couple letters than hit tab, it'll autocomplete. [00:06] khazil, is it guaranteed to work though? [00:07] does ubuntu have a gui to configure the display....like in mandriva...and in fedora there is yum install config-display [00:07] Oh, great. My old thinkpad has no window key. Thanks pici [00:07] KB1JWQ, ah.. thanks.. Knew it was something with tab but just couldnt figure it out :P [00:07] mcphail, Ok, I've been looking for it, but I don't see it anywhere [00:07] Okay: It's non-trivial though, not guaranteed, and not convenient [00:07] Ramonster: You may want "sudo apt-get install libssl-dev". [00:07] k5ehx: avidemux can work with mkv files? [00:07] Okay: I take it this printer is too new to send to the junk heap, but too old to return [00:08] stroyan, libssl-dev is already the newest version. [00:08] aleksio: I believe it uses ffmpeg [00:08] khazil, you got that right [00:08] Apollo2366: http://ardour.org/files/manual/index.html [00:08] aleksio: but it's a lot easier to use if it does [00:08] mcphail, thanks [00:08] k5ehx: thank you [00:08] stroyan, this is a new error.. the -lcompat works now :P But then this showed up :( [00:09] help to debug alsa -- no sound gives good karma (http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=e8be8c6ba3f70045bb1bd35954b3aa70f8d71725) [00:09] how do change the time so thats its not in military time [00:09] Okay: can you try using the mp160 drivers first, to see if that's acceptable? [00:09] no sound gives good karma? [00:09] FloridaGuy, no need to install here. Just go to System -> Preferences -> Display [00:09] stroyan, this is the output i get: checking for ssl... configure: error: Cannot find ssl libraries [00:10] nsadmin: no sound gives peace but no karma... do you know how to read that url (http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=e8be8c6ba3f70045bb1bd35954b3aa70f8d71725) [00:10] laclasse, that dont work for me...i need to get more res then what that shows [00:11] Okay: do you happen to have an ancient machine you could use as a Windows printer server? [00:11] the http is the protocol... the www.alsa-project.org is the machine... [00:11] Ramonster, libssl0.9.8 if you're on an updated jaunty [00:11] khazil, no. that's not a possibility [00:11] FloridaGuy, what gfx card/monitor dos you have, what can it do and what does default ubuntu does? [00:12] bastidrazor: libssl0.9.8 is already the newest version. [00:12] nsadmin: hehe, true.. so they recommended on the help pages for sound debuging to run a script to produce this page... unfort. I am not able to find the problem [00:12] There seem to be two virtual desktops show at foot of screen How do I set up more, like 4? Thanks [00:12] how i fix the time it keeps showing it in military time [00:12] khazil, maybe i'll just use turboprint's trial for 30 days and then uninstall then reinstall [00:12] rpx__: oh, it's the output of the script... show that url on #alsa [00:12] Whenever I unplug my laptop, it suspends. How can I change that behaviour? [00:12] Isnt there a way to find out what libs you need? [00:13] Ramonster, if you are trying to build something install the dev packages [00:13] hilltop: Right click on it and go to Preferences. [00:13] nsadmin: I tried but no one there :( [00:13] Ramonster that's what package dependencies are for [00:13] Ramonster, you need "libssl-dev" it seems [00:13] laclasse, i have nvidia g6....im useing my polaroid tv with monitor on it...ubuntu only wants to give 1040 on res..when in mandriva i can get 1280/1040 [00:14] Hey all. Just put a new install of Jaunty on a Laptop to replace the intrepid instance. Put it into standby before, and now it no longer realizes it has a built in keyboard or trackpad. Logging in with an external keyboard resulted in a comment by X.org saying it had reset to default instance. Google has a few examples of this on ubuntu forums but no solutions. ideas? [00:14] FloridaGuy, prop nvidia drivers installed? [00:14] anyone here use synce? [00:14] yep [00:14] Okay: yeah, you might as well just do that, but it definitely won't be that easy to clean up [00:14] laclasse, libssl-dev is already the newest version. [00:14] hilltop: right click on them, Preferences. [00:14] Ramonster: This page lists dependencies- http://www.arcemu.info/wiki/index.php?title=Compiling:_Linux But libssl-dev should be resolving the current configure error. [00:14] Okay: OSS4 used to let you do that (before it was open sourced) [00:15] FloridaGuy, you get evolution working [00:15] Ramonster, tell WoW their configure script sucks ;-) [00:15] Don't you hate it when you forget to SCROLL DOWN? [00:15] hello [00:15] stroyan: I already got libssl-dev, updated and all [00:15] cuddlefish: Happens to the best of us, mate. [00:15] mcphail, I'm having the exact same problem as I was with audacity. I'm attempting to simply combine two .wav files with a little bit of silence in between them. I do this and it plays wonderfully in the editor, but when I export, the file will not play in any application. [00:15] how do i fix the time in ubuntu [00:15] Lenaud01, never used evolution [00:16] Erikk, what desktop enviroment are you using? [00:16] what time is it in ubuntu? [00:16] xfce [00:16] what you use synce for [00:16] laclasse, will do :P [00:16] Ramonster: You will need to delve into exactly what the configure script is looking for. It isn't explaining its needs very well. [00:16] its in military time format [00:16] FloridaGuy, please report a bug if you can. You can i guess force the coonfig in Xorg (/etc/X11/xorg.conf), google for xorg.conf and you will find examples. But its interesting that it is not detected [00:16] stroyan, got all those files [00:16] erikk71: go to #xubuntu [00:16] erikk71, try #xubuntu [00:17] lol [00:17] FloridaGuy, is the Tv recent? maybe the EID db is not up to date [00:17] laclasse, thats why i was woundering if ubuntu had a gui for configure it [00:18] stroyan: this is the ./configure: ./configure prefix=/home/arcemu/server --enable-lua-scripting --enable-collision --enable-debug [00:18] Okay: next time check out openprinting's database, "paperweights" are clearly labeled [00:18] laclasse, every other distro it works great in [00:18] FloridaGuy, you said a nVidia card right? gksudo nvidia-settings will give you a gui [00:18] its about 2 yrs old [00:18] FloridaGuy, not to manually assign resolution no, and the more we go, the more things will get auto detected, as devices become a bit more clever. [00:18] damn [00:18] Anyone having weird VLC behaviour while resizing version 1.0.0? [00:18] ok [00:19] FloridaGuy, hence why i insist on filing a bug [00:19] khazil, okay. thanks a lot [00:19] gota go shampo some carpet [00:19] FloridaGuy, or maybe try karmic, just for curiosity [00:19] k [00:19] pidgin question here. Transparent chat window? Any ideas? [00:19] Ramonster: Try "bash -x ./configure prefix=/home/arcemu/server --enable-lua-scripting --enable-collision --enable-debug" and see what it is really doing. [00:19] Will a root cron job be run even if I haven't logged in as an user on Ubuntu Server? [00:19] anyone have any experience with madwifi drivers and atheros? [00:20] Evelina, yes [00:20] I mean when I start up Ubuntu Server I get to the login prompt. Will a scheduled corn job be run as root even if I am not logged into any account? [00:20] Evelina And so will a non-root cron job [00:20] Thats what Cron does, and there is even anacron to run missed cron jobs while your computer is off. [00:20] Evelina: yes [00:20] stroyan, you want me to copy the full output? [00:20] Ok, so it ok to stay at the login prompt? [00:21] Evelina: yes [00:21] laclasse, my solution: I went to package manager... showed all installed packages, and made "reinstall" for all. In fact, it hanged on bash and stopped, but after reboot, and editing again modprobe.d/alsa-sound.conf with proper options for my card, everything is back to normal [00:21] Ok, I have got an answer. [00:21] depends on what you mean by "ok" [00:21] laclasse, pretty stupid and simple, but worked [00:21] Socah, err [00:21] You could pastebin the last few lines. Or read it yourself. [00:21] how can i see what services are running on what sockets on my machine? [00:21] Socah, glad you have sound [00:21] :) [00:21] laclasse, thank you for your help and time [00:21] cuddlefish, OK got it. Thanks [00:22] StrangeCharm__: "netstat" [00:22] Thank you answering my question. Nice to hear I don't have to login. [00:22] cheers khazil [00:22] Evelina, yeah, you dont have to be loged in in order for coronjobs to be executed [00:22] Evelina: is it critical this cron job runs? [00:22] StrangeCharm__: actually, netstat -l for listeners (servers) [00:22] syslq78: Yeah, hehe, I got it. ;) [00:23] khazil- i was going to say, that's giving me streams, thanks again [00:23] Socah, np [00:23] nsadmin: Nah, I won't say it's critical but I want it to be run so it will be bad if it won't. Not critical but well at least not good, why? [00:24] oh, so that's what you mean by "OK" [00:25] Evelina, that's true for all systems really including ms windows [00:25] I can run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" in one command. Is there a way to skip the sudo apt-get the second time and use "&& upgrade"? I can write a scripr but is there anything built in? [00:26] I can't play sound simultaneously in firefox and Decibel audio player. [00:26] stroyan, did you get my PM? [00:26] khazil- any way of saying which processes are listening to those sockets? [00:26] syslq78: Ok, well I just wanted to be sure. [00:26] r3l1c: that's not how && works [00:26] Ramonster: yes [00:26] well let's put it this way... I think you can run a periodic script in windows... the mechanism is not called cron and doesn't work like it [00:27] so what are the possibilites. When I run the first command khazil it does work [00:27] StrangeCharm__: usually you can tell, but let me check [00:28] yo yo yo [00:28] whether it's good or bad it works different is a subjective value judgement [00:28] StrangeCharm__: netstat -lp [00:28] ActionParsnip yo yo yo t [00:28] syslq78: your typing as drunk as i feel [00:28] thansk khazil [00:29] I won't hurt removing the graphics card and the display from the server? I am going to use ssh to remote control the server. [00:29] ActionParsnip, nah, but I'm doing something else while typing [00:29] syslq78: gotcha [00:29] The fan at the graphics card is not working so I'm planning to remove the card to avoid getting some overheating. [00:29] Evelina: there is no onboard graphics? [00:30] Evelina: give it a shot... I would imagine the system would get confused (but I don't think permanent damage would happen) [00:30] replace it with a cheap console-only card [00:30] are there systems which refuse to post without graphics card? [00:31] khazil: I donät know actually. I don't want to use a display anyway, it's good enough using reote control. But will it give me any problem booting Ubntu without any display and graphics card, any error message etc? [00:31] how to find my harddrive rpm from terminal? [00:31] Evelina, just replace the fan :) [00:31] Evelina, it won't at all. All my boxes are headless. no need gfx card at all. [00:31] owen1, hdparm [00:31] stroyan, got anything yet? [00:31] syslq78: thanks [00:31] Evelina: probably you want to arrange a serial console before you try that [00:31] syslq78: Yeah, but I'm goint to remote control the server using ssh so I didn't bother. But if the system may be confused then I may reconsider my decision. [00:32] Ramonster: The configure script may be caching bad results from earlier. You could restart from autoreconf, or start over in a new directory. [00:32] nsadmin: Serial console? What's that? [00:32] Evelina, well I dont think it will be confused [00:32] stroyan, restarted about 5 times now :P [00:32] anyone else use phpmyadmin in jaunty and got it working? [00:32] Evelina, hmm, non ethernet network (non tcp/ip one too) just a peer-peer with data flow [00:32] Evelina, it's used to configure switches sometimes etc [00:33] Hi guys. I've done some google searching, but I can't find any info on embedding a terminal into my top panel. Like a little persistant box I can type commands into [00:33] Ramonster: It is time for me to go eat. [00:33] Serial console will allow you to access it if something happens which prevents you from ssh'ing in [00:33] Evelina: there used to be no video cards... computers had large banks of serial ports and that's how they talked [00:33] stroyan, bon a petit ;) [00:33] Evelina, nothing should happen if you remove you grapichs card and boot system [00:33] stroyan, thanks for your time [00:33] Well except you wont be eable to plug in monitor [00:34] well you can plug it in... but it won't do anything :) [00:34] nsadmin, we still use serial connections at work, not very often but ... :) [00:34] nsadmin, yeah :) [00:34] Does anyone know how I can embed one like that? === name is now known as Guest61010 [00:34] JamesHoldsworth: any relation to Allan? [00:35] Hello, I just tried to upgrade from 8.10 to 9.04 via network. When I restarted my system after the upgrade tool finished its work, the login screen froze after about a minute. Subsequent reboots and attempts to work through the console resulted in a complete system freeze after about 1 minute. I am using a Radeon 9800 video card -- is there some kind of issue with the driver or with X that is causing these system freezes? What should I [00:36] how much extra space should you leave when you are using usb creator to make your instal persistant? [00:36] woodworker: the more the better [00:36] syslq78: Ok, well, I'm going to start the server two times a day, running some scripts using a cron job, then suspend until nex time the server shall boot. I'm going to let it run by itself every day whitout my interaction. Maybe I'm going to log in by ssh to do some modifications. [00:36] woodworker: extra space = storage [00:37] gogeta: 2.0 gb or more? [00:37] syslq78: Therefore I donät need a graphics card or a display. [00:37] woodworker: as i said more the better [00:38] woodworker: thats going t be your extra storage [00:39] syslq78:is it somewhere here? hdparm -I /dev/sda [00:39] hello [00:39] hey, is there a solution to use the Iphone on Ubuntu ?

[00:40] owen1, dunno, read man hdparm, I dont use it really, I did few times but I forgot [00:40] syslq78: sure [00:40] gogeta, wine doesn't support usb devices for itunes, does it..

Just started today after upgrading to 9.04. Some how It did this while on firefox and now firefox is almost 100% transparent. Anybody know how to fix this? [00:41] Okay: you need to contact turboprint about that or check its documentation [00:41] Freelancer: http://www.downloadsquad.com/2008/03/04/itunes-syncing-now-works-in-linux-with-wine/ [00:41] !compile > Ramonster [00:42] Ramonster, please see my private message [00:42] anyone else use phpmyadmin in jaunty and got it working?

[00:51] Whenever I unplug my laptop, it suspends. How can I change that behaviour? [00:51] Freelancer: err virtualbox 3 and a xp vmware install lol [00:51] woodworker: nope, there's nothing else you need to do.. but keep in mind that the usb boot up disk will no longer work when you change system settings like user accounts [00:51] hi, someone using Mutt + GPG? I'm having a little trouble [00:52] Mike_lifeguard: have you looked in the gnome-powermanager app? [00:52] moymoy: Yes, I didn't see a setting for this. [00:52] is there a file that controls the leds? like there are files frot the cpu and stuff? [00:52] moymoy: can you put that one in idiot terms..... that is kinda what I am at this point [00:52] Mike_lifeguard: i don't know then.. i don't normally use a laptop [00:52] i replaced my old nvidia with geforce 6200 AGP. do i need to change my bios to AGP?

I'm running 2.2.4 and want to upgrade to latest 3.0.2 [00:53] DVA5912: Simply put. "Probably". I don't know what they would be called or how to find them out or anything else about it. But udev's job is to make a file for every device and place them all in /dev [00:53] Mike_lifeguard: you're making a usb bootup disk right? [00:53] DVA5912: If an appropriate driver cannot be found however a file will not be made. [00:53] hipitihop: so upgarde lol [00:53] in crunchbang, what keyboard is used. I can't make pipe character [00:54] !derivatives [00:54] moymoy: uh, no. When I unplug my laptop it suspends. [00:54] There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information.

[00:54] edbian: thats more information than i had. The light did come on a couple of minutes ago but then i went into hibernation and it didnt come back on. [00:54] Evelina, yeah, it rocks, it follows good *nix design philosophy and it does not cover up details so in any case you benefit with general computing knowledge far superior than fanboys usually have [00:54] hipitihop, you can download the newest virtualbox from www.virtualbox.org [00:54] Mike_lifeguard: oops lol highlighted to the wrong person, sorry [00:54] gogeta: or i didn't read the bios correctly. [00:54] owen1: yes soem bios auto switch [00:54] DVA5912: Good luck!

I pressed the fn key and wifi button two times and it came on. what does that mean? can i fix it now that it does come on? [00:56] moymoy: I've found #ubuntu-laptop ... it's rather desolate, but maybe I'll find someone there who can help. Thanks anyways [00:56] Mike_lifeguard: alright, good luck! [00:56] gogeta, dunno, you should know that [00:56] hiya i have recently put UNR on my net book (acer aspire one) it was great, but today when i turned it on nothing loads :( no taskbar, it will let me move my mouse around but thats it. can anyone help me please? [00:56] Flannel, thanks [00:56] Oceanic: thanks and it also appears in the repos, so appears in synaptic just not sure if I need to remove 2.2 first and if I should expect any problems [00:56] gogeta, my pay is not gold mine but far from being bad [00:57] moymoy: does the laptop not charge? [00:57] Lloyd_Pugh: Can you open a terminal with alt + F2 ? [00:57] moymoy: or is it simply incorrect measurement? [00:57] will try now :) [00:57] gogeta, it depends on how good you are, this area also got populated with server market share gain [00:57] hipitihop, you'll need to remove your current one first, there should be no problems, i don't think you even need a restart, keep us posted :D [00:58] edbian no i cant, i can bring up a small menu when i right click [00:58] What does menu say? [00:58] khazil: everything seems to be working fine.. the laptop just suspends it self when you unplug it...... actually this isn't even my problem.. it's Mike_lifeguard, and he's still in this channel.. but you can look for him in #ubuntu-laptop [00:58] why are there components of ubuntu eating up ram but not letting any of it go? [00:58] Oceanic: will do thanks.

[01:01] Lloyd_Pugh: Have you tried simply restarting? It might be a fluke [01:01] yowshi1: that's the gnome-accessibility service daemon, do you need it running? [01:01] StrangeCharm__: i dont know what at-spi-registryd does xorg aint doing much more now then when i rebooted, i think anyway and i only have one more folder open now then when i rebooted so i dont know about nautilus either [01:01] I have restarted about 4 times now [01:01] moymoy: no i dont think i do [01:01] my vnc is broken [01:01] i can move the mouse around, but it doesnt update [01:01] yowshi1- how much more memory are they using? [01:02] syslq78: Well, I have a lot to learn before I get a job as an sys admin. :) [01:02] where's the place to go after I install 9.10 and want to find bug info?

[01:03] syslq78: Well, it's 02:00 in my country. I have to go to bed now. Good night and thanks for all help! [01:03] normally have to force it closed too [01:03] yowshi1: then you can go ahead and disable it if you want..and kill it. It's really not needed, and how much RAM is Xorg using? [01:03] people i got a problem wit my repos... dont let me do nothin wit my pacs [01:03] packs* [01:03] bye bye [01:03] KrOlin: Errors to a pastebin? === Paraselene__ is now known as Paraselene_ [01:04] no [01:04] moymoy: 143 megs [01:04] when i try to enter my ubuntu server VM not by the VM i'm requested to enter username and password. how do i know these? [01:04] What is the new method to quickly log out? (used to be ctrl + alt + backspace) [01:05] yowshi1- well, that is a fair bit [01:05] StrangeCharm__: moymoy my system slowly eats up memory i usually wind up having to reboot nafter a couple days because i wont have the ram or swap left to do anything [01:05] yowshi1: wow.. that isn't normal.. are you running any graphic intensive things? i remember gnome-do screwed around with Xorg a lot [01:05] edbian: can use alt+sysrq+k [01:06] !dontzap | edbian [01:06] edbian: 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. === linkd_ is now known as linkd [01:06] in what format does a portable hard drive have to be to be able to use it in usb startup disc creator [01:06] Thanks guys! [01:06] yowshi1- option 1) keep rebooting, but report the problem. option 2) buy a medium-sided fast disk, and use that as swap [01:06] moymoy: no i am not running gnome-do [01:06] KrOlin: Don't PM me with ubuntu questions, please. [01:07] when i try to enter my ubuntu server VM not by the VM i'm requested to enter username and password. how do i know these? [01:07] StrangeCharm__: i would honestly prefer to not use a flash disk as a swap drive they have a max write limit you know [01:07] Ddorda: You should have set them at install time? [01:07] ne one here know anything about hosting moodle through 9.04? - I am an amature in need of help for a school project..... [01:07] Ddorda: You're not running a LiveCD as the VM are you [01:07] KB1JWQ: no [01:08] yowshi1- i don't think you should use a flash disk, a fast magnetic disk was my suggestion [01:08] Ddorda: Then user add $usernake; passwd $username sets that up. [01:08] KB1JWQ: i tried my username and password, and it didn;t work [01:08] er, useradd rather.

[01:09] what command will give me a list of all users [01:09] StrangeCharm__: cat /etc/passwd [01:09] StrangeCharm__: getent passewd [01:09] yowshi1: for now, you can always setup a cronjob to automatically kill and reload the apps that eat up your RAM [01:10] StrangeCharm__: getent passwd [01:10] yowshi1: it may get annoying at times when things unexpectedly close, but it's faster than a reboot [01:10] revlo: You're right; that works better in LDAP environments too. :) [01:10] moymoy: how do i setup a cron job? [01:10] moymoy: That's... a horrible idea. :) [01:10] Is there any way to add folders to my "Places" section of my menu in ubuntu? [01:10] moymoy: and ione of the programmes is xorg that wouldrequie a reboot [01:11] hi, I was wondering if pulseaudio will do USB audio out, to a reciever. I'm looking at a reciever in which this is the main selling point, but don't exactly know if it is fully possible.

If anyone knows, it would be extremely helpful, Thanks. === Randy is now known as Guest11212 [01:11] yowshi1: if you do a sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart, it'll restart xorg i believe [01:11] KB1JWQ: its unix - there is alway more then 1 possibility todo one thing :-) [01:12] revlo: Hey, now-- Linux isn't Unix. :) [01:12] KB1JWQ: you're right... xD but i use it on the evolution-data-server .. it eats up RAM like no other.. and it pops up everytime i click on the calener applet! waah!

[01:17] fwaokda: disregard that, instead, drag a folder to the bookmarks section in nautilus [01:17] Doc-Saintly: or « sudo fdisk -l » depending on what you mean [01:17] jrib: fyi I am not currently on a linux system I am flipping between two computers..... [01:18] arand, oh thanks that works even better [01:18] arand, well faster [01:18] woodworker: ok.

[01:23] Spirits-Sight: synce is your best bet but I think bluetooth usually works better. [01:23] because i installed a program that wrote files to that directory [01:23] Okay: you mean change your current directory to /usr/bin in a terminal? [01:24] Okay: ok, that's bad practice. You know how to prevent that in the future? [01:24] prince_jammys, no, navigating to it [01:24] jrib, how can i prevent it in the future? [01:24] most packages that install an executable will put it in /usr/bin [01:24] Okay: well you try to install programs only from the repositories [01:24] Radtoo: I sadly need use activesync as I am making a changeo t hte cell phone HardSPL and don't want to have any issues as if I do it will / could mess the phone [01:25] jrib, well, that program wasn't in repositories [01:25] hello [01:25] Okay: If you *must* install something outside the repositories, install it to /usr/local/ [01:25] Susanna777: is it your screen resolution? [01:25] Spirits-Sight: well, try synce. I cannot guarantee in any way this works though as the vendor of the original activesync doesn't care about allowing you to use linux, so its a reverse engineered piece of software.

Which should I use for a USB thumb drive? [01:32] Okay: right. How about the uninstall procedure? [01:32] jrib, i'm 100% sure [01:32] moymoy, i've reinstalled the desktop switcher what do i do now? [01:32] only 3 minuts [01:32] queso: there's FAT16 and FAT32, afaik [01:32] queso: if its not used with very old devices, just use fat32. [01:32] jrib, kay: it claims it's already uninstalled but left files there? Are you sure those files don't belong to something else? [01:33] jrib, woops. Configuration file etc/turboprint/system.cfg not found! [01:33] Okay, probably sudo apt-get autoremove [01:33] arand: there's even fat 12 bit but thats sorta something no one would ever use anymore :) [01:33] Is there another command to halt the current command? Ctrl+c doesn't seem to do it [01:33] jrib, that's what it says [01:33] Okay: pastebin (commands and output) [01:33] squid seems to be dying after a couple of seconds. any ideas why? [01:33] Radtoo: Sounds like a fun weekend project. :-p [01:33] Doc-Saintly: ctrl-\ sends sigquit (iirc) [01:33] StrangeCharm__: Have you checked the logs? [01:34] jrib, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/218428/ [01:34] Okay: cd /, then try again [01:34] bastidrazor, won't that remove some .debs that I need? [01:34] KB1JWQ- i'm looking now, but there's a lot of them [01:34] trying to get this to work on the latest ubuntu. cant figure it out http://necrofamicon.com/Tendrils/ [01:34] Okay: for future reference, use « sudo -i » instead of « sudo su » [01:34] StrangeCharm__: Try using tail; it'll show you the last ten lines by default. [01:35] jrib, why is that? [01:35] if a drive is not mounted is it safe to unplug it? Or is there an extra step? [01:35] jrib, yeah, gives me the same message as that last pastebin [01:35] Radtoo: Great, thanks :) [01:35] Okay: safer environment for one [01:35] Susanna777: sorry, i was digging through gconf to see if there was a setting to help fix your problem.. check your application menus and such for the desktop-switcher.. [01:36] Okay: pastebin please... anytime you run something, pastebin [01:36] moymoy, i found it but it still not working right [01:36] queso: np. by the way, if you only want to use it with linux the linux native filesystems are even better choices... but only if you only want to use it with linux :) === segin|kvirc is now known as segin [01:36] i can't access applications anymore [01:36] jrib, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/218428/ [01:36] Radtoo: Not sure I'd agree; I'm not a fan of ext$ on USB drives. [01:36] Radtoo: Thanks for the tip -- but I'm using it to transfer files from my old OS X laptop [01:36] jrib, it just gives me the same thing [01:37] Okay: you didn't cd /... [01:37] We need a better universal filesystem than FAT. :-/ [01:37] cd / = cd home? [01:37] KB1JWQ- well, looks like i found the problem- FATAL: The url_rewriter helpers are crashing too rapidly, need help! [01:37] Okay: anyway, check whether /etc/turboprint/system.cfg exists first [01:37] And no, UFS is NOT the solution. [01:37] StrangeCharm__: That'd be the problem. [01:37] Okay- no, it does not [01:37] jrib, how do i check? [01:37] Okay: nope / is the absolute root of filessytem === crunchbang is now known as hilltop [01:37] KB1JWQ: its not like fat is better than these two either though >P === musicgeek is now known as Guest94154 [01:37] Okay: ls /etc/turboprint/system.cfg [01:37] moymoy, there's not menu anymore or anyway to log out or anything, i'm going to do a reset [01:38] KB1JWQ- now i just need to find a solution... [01:38] anyone know why jaunty phpmyadmin doesn't work? [01:38] Radtoo: The use case that worries me is "someone is running late and snatches the drive out without unmounting it first." FAT tends to live through that fairly well, anything with an EXT journal on it kinda doesn't. [01:38] i installed phpmyadmin in jaunty and created the symlink to /var/www/ but when I use firefox and type in localhost/phpmyadmin it asks about either opening or saving a phtml file. here's the screenshot. http://img12.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot2nrk.png [01:38] Okay: /home/username or just ~ would be your home (also just cd will get you home as well) [01:38] mazda01: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:38] !lamp > mazda01 [01:38] mazda01, please see my private message [01:38] jrib, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/218432/ [01:38] mazda01: read and follow the troubleshooting steps for that issue with php on that wiki page [01:39] mazda01: Yeah, you didn't set a php handler in your apache configuration from the sound of it. [01:39] I have seen many, many crashed fat32 usb sticks from people yanking them out [01:39] KB1JWQ: it only does with the file system check, otherwise its about as endangered as ext or udf. and ye I tried it a lot. :P [01:39] so if by "fairly well" you mean "sometimes dies" then okay [01:39] KB1JWQ, shouldn't that be done by default when I install apache? [01:39] Okay: erm okay. Well you do just have to delete stuff manually I guess. Or why not contact turboprint for support...? rm is the delete command in the terminal [01:40] FloodBot1, please help me understand what I did wrong. I didn't think I was flooding anything. I merely posted a question. [01:40] mazda01: Not necessarily. [01:40] mazda01: one question = one line please [01:40] mazda01: Note the "bot" part of FloodBot's nickname. [01:40] jrib, all turboprint tells you is to use ./uninstall once you get into that folder [01:40] Hello, is there a easy way to speedup software downloads (ie adding new/ faster repositories)? [01:40] jrib, someone said that manually deleting the folder will delete that program [01:40] mazda01: weird that he triggered on 2 lines though. bug [01:40] KB1JWQ, that seems sort of weird. how would the average user know that they have to do all this configuring of apache just to get it to work? I will check out the wiki. thank you [01:40] Okay: what folder...? [01:41] musicgeek1: I found that different times of the day you can replace the country codes for faster download [01:41] mazda01: The second part of your line answered the first part. [01:41] RTFM. :-) [01:41] musicgeek1: for instance, middle of the day in us, ch (switzerland) is faster than us. Opposite at night. [01:41] I'm working on mounting /home/user on a seperate partition. I have the fstab set up properly, but when I go to chown it, I get "Operation not Permitted", even though I'm root. [01:41] jrib, if I have a long statement how could I possibly get it on one line? [01:41] II: makes sense. I'll try that. THanks! [01:41] mazda01: you summarize it and pastebin relevant details [01:41] KB1JWQ: besides the more important thing than the fs would be to inform the user what likely hasnt been written or broken since he yankd out the drive :> [01:41] KB1JWQ, yeah i know. i figured he was bot but I thought I'd try [01:41] Any way to force chown to perform the change, or know why it's being denied? [01:41] jrib, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/218433/ i just need to know how to navigate there [01:42] jrib, ok. sorry [01:42] stillinbeta: Pastebin that; I'm curious to see it. [01:42] mazda01: no need to apologize :) [01:42] Okay: WHERE? [01:42] the /etc folder [01:42] KB1JWQ: pastebin what, the error, the fstab ? [01:42] Anybody here used greenos ? [01:42] Okay: cd /etc/ [01:42] !who | Okay [01:42] Okay: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [01:42] !gos [01:42] Sorry, I don't know anything about gos [01:42] stillinbeta: All of them. :) [01:43] is there a way to start updataing ubutu from the command prompt ? [01:43] stillinbeta: and an ls -al $MOUNTPOINT [01:43] hello everyone i am 3 problems one is that the back button on my mouse isnt working another is that the caps lock light on my mac keyboard isnt working and finally when i have my usb hub connected ubuntu doesnt want to boot [01:43] !apt > Guest61010 [01:43] Guest61010, please see my private message [01:43] i have* [01:43] jrib, can you navigate to it without the terminal [01:43] Guest61010: sudo aptitude update .. then sudo aptitude safe-upgrade [01:43] Shadow__X: Three problems, one answer: I blame the USB hub. [01:43] ty [01:43] Okay: only if you promise to be careful and close it after you delete what you want to delete: gksudo nautilus [01:44] Shadow__X: You may be oversaturating the USB bus; try a powered hub? [01:44] i set brasero to always open the audio cd creator when a blank cd is inserted and now I want to change it back so I get a prompt. anyone know where to fix this? [01:44] jrib, someone earlier mentioned that sudo apt-get autoremove works? [01:44] KB1JWQ, fine except the keyboard and mouse issues persist without the hub and it used to work on ubuntu 8.10 perfectly fine [01:45] ne one wanna help a newbie set up wireless network [01:45] Okay: apt only knows about things you install using apt. You didn't use apt for turboprint [01:45] KB1JWQ: alright, this'll be tricky. I can't have both X and that setup right now :-/ [01:45] mazda01: nautilus preferences, media [01:46] KB1JWQ, i just made sure that libapache2-mod-php5 is installed and it it. I still can't fuigure out why phpmyadmin isn't working. [01:46] jrib, I'll just forget it. thanks for all your help man [01:46] stillinbeta: Urm... do this in a terminal window. [01:46] mazda01: did you follow the other troubleshooting steps as well? [01:46] KB1JWQ, I don't see how the second line answered the question in line 1 though? I still need help please [01:46] Copy and paste, the end. [01:46] mazda01: Read the documentation. :) [01:46] Okay: did you delete the files successfully? It's trivial using gksudo nautilus [01:46] !lamp [01:46] 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+) [01:47] server irc.freenode.org [01:47] woodworker: ask a question which people may answer, normally there's no private assistance.. [01:47] jrib, it said there was no external monitor [01:47] I need some help with my sound, can anybody point me in the right direction [01:47] KB1JWQ, any ideas? [01:47] jrib, lol [01:47] Okay: get out of sudo su... [01:48] jrib, i'm already out. [01:48] joeborder, more details? [01:48] Okay: then run the command I gave you [01:48] arand: I guess I dont really know what to ask.... I cant get it to work [01:48] arand, within nautilus preferences, Media, everything is already set to "Ask what to do". So that's not it. any other suggestions [01:48] mazda01: Then I don't know. [01:48] jrib, i see it now. i was in wrong directory [01:49] mazda01: Is the "never prompt..." option unticked there as well? [01:49] Hello there join the #flossk [01:49] my squid is creashing because "FATAL: The url_rewriter helpers are crashing too rapidly, need help! [01:49] " how can i resolve this? [01:50] KB1JWQ: pastebin and lynx don't play well. [01:50] Hello ... just wondering what I can do to get back my icons in the Fast-user-switching applet? (the one with shutdown in it etc) - mucked about with some themes, and now the icons aren't there.... help please? [01:50] moymoy, i got it to work, thanks for the help [01:50] Socah, i was trying to update my existing sound drivers to be able to change between jack states on my soundcard as it only plays from the rear, i found the drivers i use for windows and there was linux support so i followed the steps and installed it. At the end of it my speakers werent picked up at all and now my sound is completely gone. Im trying to find out if i can restore to my old drivers [01:51] hello [01:51] you guys i got a problem :( [01:51] Susanna777: oooh nice, how did you get it to work? [01:51] joeborder, ok, what's ur sound card? [01:51] arand, it is but it's not checked. [01:51] does anyone know how to prevent GNOME from putting a icon in your desktop everytime you mount something? [01:52] jrib, I guess nothing about turboprint is there. then why is it listed in the preferences and administration tabs? [01:52] moymoy, the desktop switcher fixed it [01:52] woodworker: What have you done so far, what exactly are you trying to acheive, what instructuions have you followed (or do you want links to..?)?? etc. etc., without that info people won't be able to help you... [01:52] Okay: try 'killall gnome-panel' and see if it goes away (will restart your panel) [01:52] hello everyone i am having 3 problems one is that the back button on my mouse isnt working another is that the caps lock light on my mac keyboard isnt working and finally when i have my usb hub connected ubuntu doesnt want to boot this exact setup worked in 8.10 and i noticed these issues after an update on 9.04 [01:52] moymoy, i had to restart the computer though [01:52] Susanna777: ahh, good =p glad i could help [01:53] my squid is creashing because- FATAL: The url_rewriter helpers are crashing too rapidly, need help!, what can i do to resolve this? [01:53] socah, ive been trying to find that out, from what i can tell it looks like "nVidia corp mcp73 high def audio (rev1)" [01:53] i was upgrading all the software on ubuntu and when it was done.. it restarted but now, i can only log in and after the only thing that appears is a background screen and the mouse pointer...ubuntu wont load :( [01:53] jrib, it's not in the panels. its under system>preferences and system>administration [01:53] arand I have put in my ssid, authetication method and network key..... then when I go back it shows wireless connection with a colun then to the right is says never in the network connection box [01:54] Okay: it will reload your menu [01:54] I hope this isn't a common problem, but why does the login screen have a different (wrong) refresh rate than the grub and boot progress screen and the after login desktop screen? And how do I change it for just the login screen? [01:54] Okay: it will reload your menu [01:54] I am using Ubuntu Hardy 64, I wonder why Firefox is using 50% of my CPU? [01:54] KB1JWQ: pastebin.com/m6d0932a6 [01:54] joeborder, is it laptop? [01:54] socah, no its a desktop [01:54] KB1JWQ: that's fstab [01:54] I'll be right back, need to reboot. [01:54] woodworker: that means it HAS never been connected, YET. [01:55] joeborder, card is integrated? [01:55] jrib, "try 'killall gnome-panel' and see if it goes away" using that? [01:55] socah, it looks that way yes [01:55] Okay: yeah [01:55] joeborder, ok, open terminal, type lspci, try to find a name of your audio device [01:55] arand........ why would it have changed my network key...... b/c after setting all that up.... I cant go anywhere on the internet [01:55] what is the partition editor that is used in the ubuntu install? [01:55] joeborder, and copy it there [01:55] any suggestions on how I can fix my sound / [01:56] thomson, fdisk? [01:56] arand..... I am using a live bood from usb device [01:56] thomson, but you should use gparted [01:56] socah, 00:09.0 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP73 High Definition Audio (rev a1) === keanu is now known as [keanu] [01:56] Socah: ok [01:57] jrib, no. its still there for some reason [01:57] woodworker: changed network key? Do you mean it has worked before? [01:57] How do I change the refresh rate for the login screen? [01:57] Okay: check /usr/share/applications/ (this is the problem with software installed without apt) === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [01:58] joeborder, first of all, open terminal type alsamixer and check if all channels are over 80% and don't have "M" letter in the begging of sound bar [01:58] arandno.. but when I opened it back up the network key was really long...... it asks me to create default keying - what is this [01:58] Socah: so download and put gparted onto a usb thumb drive? [01:58] PROTOP: update-desktop-database is useful [01:59] jrib, yeah, they're both there [01:59] thomson, as far as I know, there is even gparted livecd, or liveusb - check google [01:59] jrib, i can just safely delete them? [01:59] Okay: yes [01:59] socah, alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory. [02:00] arand no.. but when I opened it back up the network key was really long...... it asks me to create default keying - what is this [02:00] When trying to install a windows program, i get an error stating I do not own /home/justin/.wine ? [02:00] jrib, yeah, that got rid of it forever! I'm never installing stuff like that again [02:01] Okay: cool [02:01] thanks a lot jrib. I waste like half of you day. Thank you very much for helping me [02:01] arand sorry it is create default keyring === _drtroll is now known as drtroll [02:01] Okay: it's okay, I finished a script in the meantime :) [02:01] actually the error is " Unable to find a volume for file extraction. Please verify that you have proper permissions." [02:01] syanptic says there is an error with the package alsa-driver-linuxant. this might have happened after my roomie upgraded his kernel 2 weeks ago? anyways, his sound doesnt work. i can't get this package to install or uninstal. there has to be a way around it? [02:01] woodworker: the key, if you view it, normally changes to a different encoding (HEX, instead of plain-text ASCii, why I do not know...) , the keyring is a password to ensure that only certain users on the machine can access the wireless, if you do not need that safety precation, it can be left empty (sorry, delayed answer, had to type a lot...) [02:01] joeborder, I had same problem few hours ago... I suggest you installing newest alsa first (1.0.20). Follow this guide: http://monespaceperso.org/blog-en/2009/05/09/upgrade-alsa-1020-on-ubuntu-jaunty-904/ [02:02] E: alsa-driver-linuxant: subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 2 [02:02] jrib, have fun with that script. I'll see you around. :) [02:02] KB1JWQ, now it says I don't have permission to access this page. can you please help? [02:02] hello everyone i am having 3 problems one is that the back button on my mouse isnt working another is that the caps lock light on my mac keyboard isnt working and finally when i have my usb hub connected ubuntu doesnt want to boot this exact setup worked in 8.10 and i noticed these issues after an update on 9.04 [02:02] !lamp > mazda01 [02:02] mazda01, please see my private message [02:02] socah, thanks ill have a try [02:02] mazda01: Seriously. Go read, follow the steps it outlines. [02:03] arand that is fine no worries........ ok I have my ssid which in windows is just my name... and I have my network key typed in with the wpa authentication type [02:03] joeborder, after you are done, you could try to join #alsa channel, and ask for help - they know more about alsa, also they have a script that you will run, and it will tell them more details that can help you. It will be much faster, than asking 100 questions and guessing - good luck [02:03] socah, thanks for all the help [02:03] KB1JWQ, i believe I have. I just can't believe there's this much config to get something that seems so easy to work. it seems like i have to know how to build a website just to use phpmyadmin. [02:04] behnam: that is a bug in apt. One I pointed out 4 years ago but no one cares about. What you will have to do is remove the prerm script. [02:04] joeborder, no problem :) [02:04] behnam: find /var | grep prerm should show you where it is [02:04] mazda01: Heh, phpmyadmin is a relatively involved web application. [02:05] mazda01: If setting it up is too daunting, I'm not sure what you expect it to be able to do for you; I just access mysql via the CLI. [02:05] phpmyadmin is obnoxious, just run your own mysql queries [02:05] it is so much easier [02:05] KB1JWQ: that way is easier though really [02:05] bruenig: thanks, what does that script do? [02:05] behnam: probably calls rmmod [02:05] nonetheless, delete that nonsense [02:05] arand now when I try to connect to hidden wireless connection it comes up and puts everything in but imidately pops up and says disconnected from wireless network [02:06] behnam: probably makes sense to read it instead of just deleting it [02:06] bruenig: i found this... /var/lib/dpkg/info/alsa-driver-linuxant.prerm ok, i'll read it, and rename it [02:06] it really doesn't need to exist at all, you can delete files in linux when they are opened [02:06] why the prerm [02:06] stupid debian nonsense [02:07] would it be best to create all my partitions by booting from the gparted live cd first, or install windows and use the windows partition manager to create the windows partition then when i install ubuntu create the rest of the partitions? [02:07] KB1JWQ, even without the hub the problem still remains [02:07] this is to dual boot btw [02:07] bruenig: it's a packager's decision. Presumably, it serves a purpose [02:07] KB1JWQ: drwxrwx--- 14 root plugdev 16384 1969-12-31 19:00 sib [02:07] woodworker: does it say anything more? [02:07] jrib: the packaging guidelines tell you to do it though [02:07] KB1JWQ, also this exact setup worked in 8.10 [02:07] they tell you to stop daemons, etc. [02:07] bruenig: only if you need to do something preremoval, sure [02:07] KB1JWQ: chown: changing ownership of `/home/sib': Operation not permitted === funcky1 is now known as hastig [02:08] jrib: no they say specifically that if it is a daemon, you must call it to be stopped. But this is silly, what if trying to stop it creates a nonzero exit? [02:08] bruenig: that's a policy decision I bet, not a technical one [02:08] arand as soon as I hit connect button it pops up in the top right wireless network 1 - disconnected - you are now disconnected......... then the window disappears [02:08] now I have to go jack around in /var, that is not user-friendly [02:09] I just installed a sound card.. lspci shows it.. it's an older PCI Turtle Beach au8830.. the snd_au8830 module and its dependancies loaded by themselves at boot, but there are no alsa devices shown by aplay -L ... what should I do next.. ubuntu 8.04 btw [02:09] jrib, bruenig, i renamed it, should i restart? [02:09] jrib: it is a policy decision yeah. It is short-sighted though and they refuse to do anything about it. But whatever. [02:09] KB1JWQ, I have tried that but I don't know all the mysql command to show privileges and create tables and whatnot. I'll keep reading I guess. I am sure I'll figure it out sooner or later. it'll just take me hours instead of minutes if you could tell me what to do. gotta go. thanks anyway. [02:09] bruenig: it could handle failure more gracefully for sure [02:09] stillinb1ta: Well duh. [02:09] woodworker: if you have the network preferences set-up and "connect automatically" enable you shouldn't need to use "connect to hidden"... [02:09] everytime I come in here, there is someone with that problem though [02:09] stillinb1ta: It has to belong to its user if it's set as their homedir. :) [02:09] behnam: just remove the package now [02:09] join #flossk [02:09] by the way, renaming it is the same thing as deleting it [02:09] KB1JWQ: that's what the second error was. [02:09] arand...... yes they are, but I dont know why it isnt connecting [02:09] as far as the apt-get remove is concerned [02:09] probably completely remove it [02:09] The outpot of my attempted chown [02:10] * KB1JWQ retreats to #postfix [02:10] complete removal? [02:10] behnam: probably doesn't matter [02:10] but sure [02:10] woodworker: I'm not really sure what to do, we could try doing some stuff in terminal, you got a terminal up? === ThomasHC is now known as tcx [02:10] how the f#$@ do you get the newest version of flash to work on 64 bit jaunty? [02:11] arand: a what....... sorry I am a very green newbie [02:11] anyone know how to fix the problems i am having [02:11] hastig: copy the libflashplayer.so to ~/.mozilla/plugins/ and restart your browser?

[02:13] hastig: what is wrong with the version in the repostories that is painless to install?

[02:27] i just tried xev and imwheel -c and it doesnt detect my mouse's side buttons [02:27] woodworker: Yes, AP = Access Point [02:27] Shadow__X: ubuntu version? [02:27] anyway anyone got nvidia and 1080p and flash working with zero tearing? [02:28] woodworker: so that would be a hidden w-l net.... and if you instead do "sudo iwlist ### scanning essid ***" where again ### is the name of your interface we got from iwconfig (standard wlan0 or ath0) and *** is the essid for your hiden network.

[02:31] and i didn't compile it myself, it was repos [02:31] soreau it says ignoring unknow interface wlan0=wlan0 [02:31] arand: I am out of that now [02:31] Oceanic: yup removal of 2.2.4 and install of 3.0.2 of virtualbox went without hitch. thanks. [02:32] arand soreau : yes I did my ssid is Dan's [02:32] woodworker: What is your interface listed as in the output of 'iwconfig'? [02:33] is anyone else here unable to load hulu vidoes in firefox with jaunty? [02:33] Interphase: Yea, why?

[02:34] Interphase- have you got flash? [02:34] soreau, yes, youtube and other flash works [02:34] Shadow__X: did you determine if evdev is being used? [02:35] woodworker: Type 'iwconfig' without quotes in your terminal, press enter and pastebin the output [02:35] arand could my problem be my ssid having an " ' " in it [02:35] Interphase- are you in the USA? What does the 'not working' look like? [02:35] does anybody here use devede's gui to convert avi to dvd? [02:35] Interphase: Huh, that's weird. In what way does it fail? [02:35] im trying it out now [02:35] soreau....... I can type them...... I am not on the same computer [02:35] StrangeCharm__, I am in California. [02:35] hi, I'm having issues with my sound, anyone able to help me? [02:35] woodworker: possible. [02:35] It loads the whole page but the part where the video should be remains blank [02:35] jrib, yes i see things like this in the log (**) Option "xkb_rules" "evdev" [02:35] (**) Mitsumi Electric Apple Extended USB Keyboard: xkb_rules: "evdev" [02:36] woodworker: Ok, well just make sure it's in fact showing 'wlan0' or 'ath0'.. [02:36] where is the ftp server home directory ? [02:36] Interphase- blank or black? what sort of menu do you get on a right-click? [02:36] in linux.. [02:36] woodworker: Just tell us the interface names [02:36] dreamy- what ftp server are you using? [02:37] i cant remeber .. tftphpa ? [02:37] Stiletto, it is black like the black on either side of the video. I get a small menu when I right click [02:37] Shadow__X: it may say that but sometimes later say something went wrong [02:37] tftpd h** somth [02:37] 'copy, select all, view selection source, properties' [02:37] woodworker: then I think you'll have to use \' everytime you type the essid, to avoid the special meaning " ' " has in the terminal (bash) [02:37] properties just yields 'Language: english" [02:38] dreamy, check that. also, when you say 'home directory' are you referring to the directory that a user is given when they log into the server? [02:38] soreau: lo - eth0 - wmaster0 - wlan0 - pan 0 - is that what you want [02:38] StrangeCharm__: i think used that when i had to set a server to boot from lan im not shure if its the same [02:38] woodworker: hopefully it would not affect the configs in network-manager, accepting ' alright, but you never know... [02:38] jrib, so then what do you suggest me do [02:38] StrangeCharm__: anywhere .. where the remote guest gets into [02:38] woodworker: Yea, so wlan0 is in fact your wifi interface. Does 'iwlist scan wlan0' not work? [02:39] l [02:39] Hm. [02:39] arand: do i need to force the ' in my network ssid when I set it up? [02:39] dreamy, that's set on a per-user basis, often with a deafult. check your conf file, or edit the settings? [02:39] oi, anyone know anything about hulu? [02:39] woodworker: Sorry, got that mixed up. It's actually 'iwlist wlan0 scan' [02:39] k.. [02:39] StrangeCharm__, it is black like the black on either side of the where the video should be [02:39] the menu is small, not like the normal one [02:39] StrangeCharm__: i can only access trougth the browser usign ftp:// and the dir is empty [02:39] no pass asked [02:40] Guest61010: tell us what your problem is [02:40] Interphase- does the right-click menu indicate that you're clicking a flash object, or what? [02:40] soreau: no it says unknow command 'wlan0' check iwlist -- help [02:40] woodworker: possibly, I really have no idea on that... [02:40] woodworker: Yea, because I got it backward. It's supposed to be 'iwlist wlan0 scan' [02:41] StrangeCharm__: where is a dir called pub ? you know ? [02:41] dreamy, you'll have to log into the server, physically, or with ssh or similar to make those changes [02:41] my gwibber has been broken for months now. 'unknown protocol' error on both twitter and identica nobody else seems to have the same problem. removing it, removing all the config and reinstalling doesn't seem to fix the problem. Anyone? [02:41] I've been having trouble that sporadically I lose sound and have to reboot to get it back [02:41] is there a way I can reset the sound driver in the kernel? [02:41] soreau interface doesnt support scanning: network is down [02:42] hello guys what is the best laptop builtin with camera that is very compatible to ubuntu9.04?is it ok toshiba? [02:42] woodworker: Alright, try bringing it up with 'sudo ifconfig wlan0 up' [02:42] StrangeCharm__, no, but when I 'view object source' it is all full of stuff about javascript needing to be enabled and flash installed [02:42] jigp: Macbook Pro. [02:43] Interphase- because that's the default text that appears if you can't render the appropriate objects [02:43] StrangeCharm__: ok.. but then a question about somth a bit different , when doing ssh (ip name) on my local newtork i get no user name asked .. i just have to type a passwrord i dont know wich [02:43] Interphase: are you using firefox? i've heard hulu having problems with firefox because of another browser that was spoofing as firefox they were trying to block [02:44] moymoy, yes, I am using firefox [02:44] soreau: SI0CIFFLAGS: No such file or directory [02:44] what should I try instead? [02:44] http://it.themarker.com/tmit/article/7309 [02:44] oh no [02:44] woodworker: Well that's not good. What is your wifi card listed as in the output of 'lspci'? [02:44] its in Hebrew [02:44] Interphase: could try epiphany-browser [02:45] hello guys.is toshiba core2duo with builtin camera good for ubuntu9.04?all works?including webcam builtin? [02:45] jigp: well, Macbook Pro mostly works. Suspend to disk works, but RAM hibernate doesn't (the video never unfreezes). Nor is the video chipset supported in anything better than VESA mode. (I know, I have one and have tried both the closed-source nvidia driver (may those ****wads burn in hell forever) and the open-source nouveau driver... neither works. At all. [02:45] hulu still works on my ff [02:45] Interphase: hulu's working here in FF on jaunty [02:45] soreau, what have you done to make that reality === tinhtan_ is now known as nhanquy [02:45] hey need help what is the name of the file where i can config the IRQ coz i got conflict between my sound card and ethernet! thx [02:45] im on intrepid and my firefox hulu is fine [02:45] just checked [02:46] soreau FireWire (IEEE1394): Ricoh Co Ltd R5C552 IEEE 1394 Controller (rev 01) [02:46] Interphase: Nothing really. Just installed flashplugin-nonfree, that's it [02:46] woodworker: Is it an eeepc? [02:46] soreau, so did I [02:47] dreamy you need to specify the username at the command, like ssh username@host [02:47] Interphase: Maybe a silly question, but did you restart FF since then? [02:47] soreau, I thought I did [02:47] moymoy, epiphany has the same problem [02:47] Interphase: Well try restarting it again maybe [02:47] soreau: sorry hang on........ that is wrong......... 02:09.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corparation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 03) [02:48] soreau, I did, same problem [02:48] khgh [02:48] I have super adblock plus, but it is disabled on www.hulu.com [02:48] woodworker: Ah, that sounds more like it ;) [02:48] and epiphany has the same problem as ff [02:48] soreau...... sorry new to this stuff [02:48] Interphase: Try turning off the adblocker to see if that's still causing the problem [02:48] I think something I've set in my network settings may be slowing down my internet connection, anyway to reset changes I've made? [02:49] Interphase: only hulu doesn work? what about youtube? [02:49] moymoy, youtube works [02:49] albiet, the buttons look a little buggy [02:49] woodworker: That's ok. So you have a Broadcom chipset which should be using the bcm drivers.. but I don't know much more about them. I'm used to atheros chipsets. You can see which module it's loaded with 'lsmod | grep bcm' though [02:49] easy question: which Ubuntu version is the latest LTS [02:50] Erekose: Hardy Heron 8.04 [02:50] ty Pici [02:50] StrangeCharm__: :ok thanks [02:51] soreau: ok sure [02:51] :=/ [02:51] woodworker: just a huch here... If you do "sudo ifconfig eth0 10.0.0.1" what does it say? (just to test if the error might be elsewhere) If there is no output that's cool. [02:51] <[rainman]> after going in my browser what's next? [02:51] hey need help what is the name of the file where i can config the IRQ coz i got conflict between my sound card and ethernet! thx [02:52] arand: it says nothing [02:52] arand: just another prompt [02:53] woodworker: okay, good, no problem on that side then. [02:53] arand ok good scared me [02:54] arand: guess I should read the whole thing [02:54] moymoy, StrangeCharm__ you guys out of ideas about hulu? [02:54] Interphase: hold on.. lemme get on hulu to see if it works for me [02:54] indoes = files ? [02:55] woodworker: did you try soreau 's command? are bcm module active? [02:55] moymoy, I am going to reboot [02:55] arand nope didnt see that [02:56] if I want to take my wired interface out of the control of NetworkManger I should define it /etc/network/interfaces correct? === neoteny is now known as dodddummy [02:56] arand soreau that just gave me another prompt [02:56] hmm [02:57] I accidentally deleted my /etc/apache.d/ENVVARS file [02:57] woodworker: ok, so it found nothing, presumably the bcm module is not loaded then... [02:57] where can I get the default one again/ [02:57] arand: I wonder which driver is providing wlan0 then [02:57] I assume the vertical line is above the back slash on a US keyboard [02:58] arand: He probably needs to unload whatever that would be and probe the bcm module (the broadcom driver module is 'bcmxxxx' or it at least has bcm in the name, right?) [02:58] woodworker: Yes, that's it [02:59] soreau the device is a bcm4306 [02:59] Why would I get "unable to connect a socket (Connection refused)" when trying to git the kernel? [02:59] moymoy, does it work for you? [02:59] soreau thanks [02:59] also, dude. [02:59] is there something like stickiness for an app? i open pidgin and it appears in all my tags (awesome window manager) [02:59] woodworker: lsmod alone would show you all of the loaded modules. The '| grep bcm' means it's piping the output through grep and only showing you modules with the letters 'bcm' in it [03:00] soreau can you narrow that down there are hundreds of things [03:00] has anyone successfully defined a network device in /etc/network/interfaces, removed network-manager-gnome, and continued using dnsmasq for local dns cache ? when i do that myself, i can connected to my router, but i do not retain any internet connectivity. anyone have any ideas ? [03:01] soreau: ok hundreds is an exageration but there are alot [03:02] soreau: bcm203x would be my guess, as to what provides wlan0, no clue... kernel usually means I'm way to deep in, above my head... [03:02] woodworker: Since there is no output, that is suspicious since you in fact have a wlan0 interface. Try loading one of the broadcom drivers with 'sudo modprobe bcm3510' [03:02] arand: Since he says it's a bcm4306 I'm gonna go with bcm3510 for now ;) [03:03] Maybe I should google what it's supposed to be :p [03:03] Mouse, cdemu may help you....anybody hear of this? [03:03] soureau it just gave me another pompt [03:04] woodworker: No output usually means success. Now try again with 'lsmod|Grep bcm' and check 'iwconfig' for any changes [03:04] err [03:04] I'm having an annoyance with Ubuntu mounting my PSP as a read only filesystem. [03:04] woodworker: The G in grep is supposed to be lower case [03:04] soreau ok it shows what we just loaded [03:04] motoh: So remount it rw. [03:05] KB1JWQ: how do I do that and how do I make sure it does it automatically in the future? [03:05] modify /etc/fstab. [03:06] jwfoxjr, yes /etc/network/interfaces is where you'd define a connection without network-manager-gnome or say, wicd [03:06] woodworker: Basically, I think ubuntu loaded the wrong driver for your hardware [03:06] Didn't work. [03:06] soreau: ok let me try to connect [03:07] soreau: it still shows the same thing when I try to connect to hidden network - and it is set to connect automatically [03:07] Hi! My machine just crashed of overheating --- running Ubuntu. Its cpu was at 50C before the crash. Any ideas why and what is the max acceptable temp? [03:07] Interphase: yup.. it's working for me.. are you on 64 bit? [03:08] moymoy, no [03:08] i386 [03:08] I am downloading boxee [03:08] hopefully that will d it [03:08] do [03:08] Interphase: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:08] soureau: should I have installed bcm 4306 instead of bcm 3510 [03:08] woodworker: Well go ahead and unload the driver module with 'sudo rmmod bcm3510' so at least you know how to do this [03:08] hi [03:08] lol, I guess I type too quickly [03:08] what is the command to see what partitions I have? [03:09] soureau - ok gone [03:09] woodworker: Well here on my jaunty machine there is only bcm203x, bcm3510 and bcm5974 [03:09] woodworker: So you probably need to figure out which module it's incorrectly loaded, rmmod it and then probe the correct driver [03:10] RichardYu, hey are you the same fellow that helped me this AM with the gnome-power-manager-inhibt [03:10] soureau: would that be the bcm4306 or would that be another one [03:10] shane2peru, sorry I am not the person [03:11] can someone direct me to steps to install while booted in another host? I want to install a new ubuntu distro on live cd into lvms [03:11] RichardYu, ok, sorry to bug you then. :) [03:11] woodworker: That I cannot tell you directly. I'd have to do some research on google to find out which is the correct driver for your hw [03:11] any ideas about cpu temp? [03:11] soureau: bcm4306 is non existant [03:11] jrib, any ideas and sorry to keep bothering you it just seems like not alot of people know what i should do [03:11] woodworker: Here on my jaunty machine there is only bcm203x, bcm3510 and bcm5974 [03:12] ok, update on the flash thing for me [03:12] soureau: yea that must be all there is on mine [03:12] nztal - thanks - so tired of having NM flip-flop when I change interfaces on my laptop [03:12] Interphase: it works for me on epiphany .. gonna try on firefox [03:12] all flash object in my firefox always start as a big gray box with a gray play sign [03:12] and I have to click it to activate them [03:12] when I try to use www.picnik.com the flash player doesn't work, is there a know fix for this issue yet? [03:12] perhaps this is the problem? [03:13] No luck, still read only even for root. [03:13] woodworker: But more importantly, you have to figure out which driver is providing the wlan0 interface you currently have because it is the wrong one (whatever it is) [03:13] Interphase, do you have the gnash loaded as well? [03:13] soureau: ok any ideas [03:14] if I can't ssh into my box, and it is froze up, although it is working, then I'm pretty much locked out? [03:14] hello guys what is the best? DELL or Toshiba (with builtin camera) for ubuntu?thanks [03:14] woodworker: And with that, I will also tell you that you can press the up button in your terminal to get to previously entered commands [03:14] jwfoxjr, i recommend wicd for laptops. if your accessing different AP's its easier on dns changes, at least at starbucks, it doesn't interfere with the different setups like network-manager-gnome does. if you lose connectivity defining your /etc/network/interfaces file, you might want to make sure you have a wicd deb handy, just to get you back online [03:14] oldude67, no, what is gnash? [03:14] woodworker: But unfortunately I am out of further ideas [03:14] cdemu....anybody know of this? [03:14] jigp both are equally good [03:14] woodworker: I'm gonna have to go, now, sorry. Found something which might help at: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=816191 but not sure, otherwise googling BCM4306 and ubuntu (or linux) might give you some hints... [03:15] shane2peru: What makes you think it's working? Didn't you just say it's frozen? [03:15] Interphase, dont worry about it if its not loaded dont loaded it has its own issues with the adobe flash [03:15] jigp look into hardware [03:15] Interphase: gnash is a free implementation of flash [03:15] KB1JWQ Zzeiss : sorry my client is not beeping me hehehehe. MACBOOK PRO?what is the model and how much is that? [03:15] arand:L thanks [03:15] soreau, right, because I was running rsync and the ext usb hdd is still flashing, so, must be it is writing to it. [03:15] cdemu....anybody know about this I was told it might help me with copyright protections [03:15] soreau, however it doesn't respond to the keyboard, or mouse [03:16] shane2peru: Sounds like you should reboot it [03:16] Mouse, what are you trying to do? [03:16] woodworker: You might want to take your issue to the forums as well, people there might know more... [03:16] make a game work in wine [03:16] soreau, also I can't ctrl alt F# [03:16] ok, something really isn't working [03:16] jigp, KB1JWQ: The one I have is the Macbook 13". It cost me around $1600 but that was months ago. It works, but as I said, not *everything* works. [03:16] shane2peru: Yea, reboot it [03:16] soreau, I would really like to finish the backup process though [03:16] sadly I lost the disks so I had to redownload them [03:16] soreau: I found thishttps: //help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Feisty_No-Fluff but doesnt make a lot of sense to me [03:16] hi all [03:16] because ff wont' load flash videos on bbc.co.uk or boxee.com [03:16] jwfoxjr, i believe under ordinary circumstances and some good examples its not too difficult to lose connectivty, at least on all interfaces, but i've had some trouble using a local dns cache which wont allow me to access the internet, but will allow me to access the lan, but it helps to have something as backup, in case of the unforseeable [03:16] Mouse, what game is it? there's a WINE app database, and it lists compatiblity with certain games. [03:16] it's down [03:16] Oi [03:17] the game runs it just dosen't recognize the disk in the system [03:17] they said to come here and ask about that thing [03:17] cdemu [03:17] said it might help [03:17] many many thanks to everyone (esp oldude67, prince_jammy, a couple of others i forgot) for helping me get my netbook running again! after years and years of crashing windows systems, I never even knew one could find this kind of help out there. thanks again! [03:17] Mouse, yeah I know it's down, but google's cache still has a copy :P [03:17] I'm umable to get this thing to be read/write. [03:17] oh [03:17] Zzeiss : MACBOOK is a mac os?not good for ubuntu?im really confused [03:17] well i was just in #winehq === Jonathan__ is now known as Gwynned [03:17] they said come here and ask about cdemu [03:17] allow [03:17] said it's a kernel mod that might help me [03:17] Estou com problemas [03:18] Mouse, you gotta love that kind of run around. :) [03:18] i'm indonesia [03:18] shane2peru, I do [03:18] Mouse, run 'winecfg'. have a look in the 'Drives' tab. [03:18] i'm little to speak english [03:18] pedy been there done that [03:18] Mouse, what exactly isn't working? it sounds like a more complex issue [03:18] Zzeiss : does ubuntu 9.04 works on MAC BOOK PRO? and that MAC BOOK PRO has builtin camera? [03:18] !in | wahyu [03:18] wahyu: #ubuntu-in is the channel for Ubuntu in India [03:18] jigp: Macbook is the hardware. Specifically, the 13" macbook aluminium unibody. It works OK; it's what I run, but not perfectly (my previous ancient 3 year old Dell actually did somewhat better ) [03:18] peddy it just dosen't realize the disk is mounted [03:18] manbreadj, your quite welcom [03:18] I try to play it and it says "insert disk" [03:19] Mouse, what game is it? [03:19] I even tried to start it from the disk and it said "insert disk" [03:19] temple of elemental evil [03:19] Mouse is this a wine problem not reading the cd? [03:19] its the game [03:19] jigp dont buy a mac and put linux on it. you will be wasting your money [03:19] Zzeiss : with builtin camera on your MAC BOOK PRO? [03:19] jigp: It MOSTLY works. The camera works. But suspend-to-RAM does not, and video works only in basic VESA mode (no 3D graphics) [03:19] if I knew I could fix it shane2peru sadly i am not sure [03:19] wine should be readin git [03:19] it see's the disk [03:19] Mouse, I mean wine doesn't see the disk? [03:20] I think it might be the game [03:20] wine see's it [03:20] ok, does anyone else get this big gray box with a play symbol in the middle instead of flash objects? [03:20] they said it might be a copyrigth protection issue [03:20] Well, the macbook hardware is nice. Very solid. Real metal (not Dell insta-shatter plastic) and a tempered-glass screen. [03:20] soreau: I am running 'sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter' currently unpacking and installing....... it just returned an error code [03:20] Mouse, ahh, if you can get your hands on a XP machine and give it a try, that would eliminate the doubt of the dist [03:20] disk [03:20] interphase , try downloading adobe flash player 10 [03:20] or reinstal using synaptic [03:20] ok. [03:20] soreau: this info is off http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=816191 [03:20] yeah I can boot up a vm [03:20] GWild, I DEED [03:21] ok [03:21] Interphase: try uninstalling whatever flash plugin you're using and download from adobe's website, that's where i got mine from [03:21] or just boot into my windows drive [03:21] I will mess with it later [03:21] did any message appear? [03:21] going to hang out with my buddies [03:21] Mouse that would be your best bet, to be sure the disk is good. [03:21] jigp: you should search google for it, there's a web page in the forums all about it. [03:21] well it installed properly [03:21] so I assume it would be good [03:21] plus I have the iso mounted [03:21] and it still wont work [03:21] hi everyone [03:21] Mouse: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[03:21] I have the iso mounted and the disk burned and neither work [03:22] yeah [03:22] think it has to be started as root [03:22] Mouse, hmm, that is odd, seems as though it should work then, unless the disk is corrupted after the install thing [03:22] Zzeiss where are you? can you give me your laptop?hehehehe [03:22] Interphase, my only issue i had was with gnash loaded once i uninstalled it my flash worked with adobe [03:22] phil: really? have you closed your browser yet?

I remember reading some time back about wine issues with accessing the cd [03:22] tried to add it to startup apps.. but its not starting at boot [03:22] maybe [03:23] Mouse, could be an old issue though [03:23] woodworker: ndiswrapper is a utility to use wifi drivers designed for windows, in linux [03:23] but if it was an acccess issue then it wouldn't of installed tho right?

[03:37] soreau: I used cd live session to use usb creator and left 4.5gb of extra space [03:37] anyone? [03:37] woodworker: I don't really know how that works. If you installed ubuntu on it, it should save settings but if it's just a live session you're in, settings will be erased when you reboot [03:38] bobo: Get the loki installer [03:38] bobo, does it have the linux instsller on the disk if not you need to download it [03:39] how and where? ive tried googling it [03:39] soreau: Well supposedly this will work according to another user I talked to today - noone told me anything else I had to do to make this persistant [03:39] nah, they didnt do that this time [03:39] soreau: woodworker, Ubuntu comes with a tool specifically made to turn use LiveCDs to make the USB bootable, and it offers a "persistent" mode that saves any settings and installed apps... sadly though, if you change system settings like user password, it won't work [03:39] soreau: I got all the upgrades [03:39] !ut3 [03:39] Sorry, I don't know anything about ut3 [03:39] moymoy: I have changed any of that stuff [03:39] bobo, http://www.blog.highub.com/linux/install-and-play-unreal-tournament-on-ubuntu/ [03:40] !bcm [03:40] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [03:40] oldude67, it is like it is defaulting to swfdeg [03:40] even thought adobe flash is installed [03:40] ctmjr: yeah i actually have that one, but when it says to mount the disc it is mounted and it doesnt work so this makes me think that thats for the FIRST unreal tournament [03:41] soreau: does this mean anything to you? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsBroadcom#miniPCI [03:41] woodworker: yes..

How would I go about installing the OS (since I can't see the HDD's)? [03:43] Interphase, i know i fought this for aout 3 days before i finally got it to work..i think i uninstalled all of it threw synaptic and reloaded it. [03:44] woodworker: That's kinda old but according to that you need to use bcm43XX-fwcutter with the BCM43xx driver (you have a bcm4306 rev 03) [03:44] hi, my sound is broken, doesn't work. what is the basic troubleshooting? [03:44] I uninstalled swfdec [03:44] s [03:44] Ubuntu server with 2GB physical RAM, and (atm) 1.5GB swap. Right now it's only using 512MB real RAM (1.5GB free) and, of course, 0 swap. Is there any reason, really, that I should bump my swap up to 2GB? [03:45] No, I will not be hibernating. [03:45] soreau: I just ran 'sudo apt-get install bcm4306-fwcutter' - it came up and said reading package lists error [03:45] Ok, I can't change owner on the PSP now. [03:45] oldude67, that did it [03:45] Phrogz,depends on how muchyou want to do at one time [03:46] I had to uninstall swfdec, which didn't work [03:46] Interphase, great glad it worked [03:46] woodworker: Is that exactly what it said? [03:46] Ubuntu is saying that my Flash drive is a Read-Only how can I fix that [03:46] m0r0n, what filesystem [03:46] lstarnes, thanks for the response. I tried reinstalling that package. it put everything back except the envvars file [03:46] m0r0n: mount it rw [03:46] soreau: E: write error - write (28 no space left on device_ E: IO error saving source cache - E: the package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened [03:46] Interphase, so what did you do to get it?

After I plug it in I do what? [03:47] I assume that if i wipe out ubuntu + boot partition off of the XP drive, grub will stop working [03:47] Phrogz, well then let it run [03:47] m0r0n, is it FAT32 or NTFS [03:47] Interphase, probably [03:47] m0r0n: He asked what filesystem like ntfs, ext3, fat32 etc [03:47] oldude67: sound advice.

[04:24] oldude67: totaly noteded [04:24] phishie: I just bought it...... and had an istall of ubuntu on it alrealy [04:24] fusionxtc, lots of new hardware and stability with it...and i m hoping next upgrade is even better. [04:25] oldude67: very good, is firefox still kina unreliable and same with flash? [04:25] Brians: the apps will always merge.. what you can do is open up alacarte to edit your menus .. but otherwise, you can try installing on another partition or on a virtual machine [04:25] woodworker: hmmm if gparted can't recognize it, then I cannot be of more help. And I am very unfamiliar with fdisk command. [04:25] holli: Contains a mounted file system [04:25] woodworker: try plugging it out and back in and run gparted? [04:26] m0r0n: sudo umount /dev/sdb1 [04:26] m0r0n: again, replace /dev/sdb1 with whatever your usb drive is [04:26] phishie: I am trying that - it is recognized in my places [04:26] fusionxtc, ff is doing good...flash is set...just load it like it says and should be good...but im an opera fan so... [04:26] holli: Command not found [04:26] m0r0n: you spelled it wrong, tab completion is your friend [04:27] oldude67: i liked opera too, but its hard from me to convert when i was used to ff for soo long [04:27] m0r0n: is umount NOT unmount [04:27] Woops, I put unmount [04:27] lol [04:28] holli: mkfs.vfat: Device partition expected, not making filesystem on entire device '/d [04:28] ok one and all im out have fun and good luck...happy hunting...and m$ sucks...have a nice day...:D [04:28] fusionxtc: oldude: i could never get used to another browser... firefox has it all.. [04:28] ev/sdg' (use -I to override) [04:28] [04:29] holli: you have to specify a number e.g.: /dev/sdb <-- the usb drive, /dev/sdb1 <--- a partition on the usb drive [04:29] holli: you have to specify a partition [04:29] I have Samba installed, any ideas why I can't open the shared folders on my windows machine over the network?? [04:30] woodworker: i can't figure out how else to help.... [04:30] phishie: well it just locked up on me as it was scanning the device, so I am rebooting and trying again [04:31] woodworker: let's hope that helps [04:31] holli: Thank you very much [04:31] phishie: no kidding I am heading into hour 11 here with this system...... getting fustrated [04:31] m0r0n: no problem [04:32] oldude67: thank you for your help [04:32] I know this is illegal, but breaking DRM on videos, can anyone nudge me towards how to do so? [04:33] ctmjr: I got a syslog but not sys.log??? [04:33] woodworker: wait a minute, you have windows running, you could try formatting that stick with it === forrestv is now known as forrest [04:33] phishie: already did that [04:33] m0r0n: if you are having trouble playing some media, you likely just lack codecs [04:33] m0r0n: i recommend vlc because it comes with all the codecs you could ever need [04:33] phishie: just now, do I not need to run gparted after doing that? [04:33] !vlc | m0r0n [04:33] m0r0n: Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS2 (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based). Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine - See also !codecs [04:33] ctmjr: and I have a kern.log and a kern.log.0 ?? [04:34] holli: VLC say's it's DRM encoded === forrest is now known as forrestv [04:34] woodworker: wind0ze prolly broke it =S try it again? because i did that before and it worked [04:34] phishie: well it just showed up on my desktop in ubuntu [04:35] holli: Actually, nevermind, it's a wmv and it's like bright coloured pixles all over the screen [04:35] Ali_nz, well look in them and see if they have the info you need [04:35] ctmjr: will try - they are big files!! [04:35] woodworker: nice [04:36] phishie: I know right baby steps [04:36] Ali_nz, should be close to the bottom [04:36] yer they are [04:36] woodworker: sorry but i gotta ask, but what was it that you wanted to do again? [04:36] What messages should I look for in dmesg when a hard drive is failing? [04:37] m0r0n: DRM? [04:37] CoJaBo-Aztec: Just the fact that it's a wmv [04:37] I think that's screwing me over, what's a good converter? [04:37] or could someone take a look at this dmesg output and tell me if they can see why my had drive keeps dropping out of my raid array: http://pastebin.com/m4273cedd [04:38] phishie: Install a usb boot.....persistent...... so I can host a moodle site, but I am using my wifes laptop therefore she doesnt want me to instal on harddrive, the goal is to host a moodle site with this when I boot from usb drive - it is a college project..... only need available when I want [04:38] m0r0n: Colored mess tends to mean its DRM. [04:38] CoJaBo-Aztec: Oh, in that case, what should I do? [04:39] phishie: Ok...... I got it in gparted...... It is showing 7.11gb fat32...... do I need to do anything 2 other partitions of 376mb [04:39] m0r0n: Demand a DRM-free version. [04:39] m0r0n: Where did you get the video? [04:39] isohunt === iamcalledrob|awa is now known as iamcalledrob [04:41] woodworker: i gotta say i have no knowledge of a persistent usb boot, was never successful anyway. You may need 2 partitions in that usb drive though. read up how to do the persistent boot first before you start formatting... [04:42] phishie: seems to me the 9.04 has the usb creator built in and shold work as long as you create enough extra space [04:42] woodworker: yeap but that would be non persistent if you runt that as itself, if that hasn't changed. [04:43] woodworker: runt/run* [04:43] !usb [04:43] For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [04:44] phishie: it shows in the creator..... I just crated 6.3gb of extra space for storing of documents and settings:=/ that is what it said..... whether it works I dont know [04:44] oh thanks jussi01! [04:44] woodworker: try following the link ubottu gave above. that should work [04:44] m0r0n, alot of vids downloaded from torrent sites are junk files never meant to play just waste your bandwidth and time [04:44] Fun fun fun. [04:45] woodworker: of course follow the persistent version though [04:45] could anyone tell me sabayon user default password [04:46] phishie: yea it says it should be persistent [04:46] woodworker: sounds great [04:48] m0r0n: Yeah, its a virus. [04:49] CoJaBo-Aztec: A virus from isohunt? Hmph. Are you sure? Nothing on Windows nor Ubuntu has been affected [04:49] hi [04:49] m0r0n: 99% sure. It relies on the fact that MS-DRM service allows them to open a page in IE. [04:49] I lost my desktop sound effects, anyone else run into this? [04:50] is there a better way than "sudo bash"? [04:50] does anybody know what architecture should I use for a AMD Sempron 2500+ with apt-build? [04:51] Hi everyone! [04:51] hi [04:51] im new to ubuntu and the linux os [04:51] I have read a bit on th gnu lic [04:51] inruin: welcome to linux [04:51] I'm telling someone they need to get logged in as postgres [04:51] and the freeware movement [04:52] uh huh [04:52] hola mongolitos [04:52] so if anyone was reading before [04:52] thanx is that a bit? [04:52] er a bot? [04:52] My printer keep getting a print command, but I never sent one [04:52] m0r0n: Most of them are just the same clip with a wide variety of names uploaded to tons of torrent sites, and most of them install at least Seekmo. [04:52] i did the update to fix how it was booting up [04:52] bitbot! [04:52] haha [04:52] i now just re-entered ubuntu using the startx command [04:52] does anybody know what architecture should I use for a AMD Sempron 2500+ with apt-build? [04:52] now THERE is a name for a bot! [04:53] how do i get the computer so that i do not need to use the startx comman [04:53] inruin: im a persom [04:53] so i booted ubuntu from my usb and the partition sizing went wrong [04:53] oh sorry [04:53] there [04:53] hi [04:53] CoJaBo-Aztec: I never got a virus from isohunt this is a first. I guess they are slacking on security now [04:53] inruin: hi [04:53] hi i installed winxp and ubuntu and i tried downloading a file and it says my disc is full [04:53] HI! hehe [04:53] fusionxtc: you don't have to use X... you could stay at the command line [04:54] how can i check my partitions? [04:54] fusionxtc: a quick guess would be set the runlevel to 3? [04:54] oh, [04:54] I have the SAME QUESTION AS BOBTT [04:54] sorry for the caps [04:54] phishie: what do u mean runlevel to 3? [04:55] are the ubuntu runlevels different? [04:55] <[R]> bobtt inruin: df [04:55] phishie: what do u mean runlevels (newbie here) [04:55] im newb whatis df? [04:55] <[R]> inruin: if you dont know waht a program is, you should read it's man page [04:55] phishie: using the start command it tries to boot up now but it just stays at a blank screen [04:56] phishie: it worked before.. :/ [04:56] ok I just had a question about partitioning [04:56] fusionxtc: for runlevels info http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runlevel. [04:56] use gparted [04:56] fusionxtc: you just ran the startx command? [04:57] have i incorrectly installed ubuntu? [04:57] Hey... Anyone here able to help me get my tethering to work? [04:57] yes and now it tries to boot up but just shows a blank screen [04:57] to enable CUDA on the GTX 260 I have to use the 185 drivers? [04:57] ok thanx rudi [04:58] fusionxtc: you may have changed the xorg config by any chance? [04:58] tus10nxtc what's the problem? [04:58] no problem [04:58] fusionxt: using two GPUs by chance? [04:59] what's the channel for Ubuntu One? [04:59] I installed swiftfox but it fails to start shows up in the tray and hangs can anyone help my firefox and shiretoko both work fine can anyone help? [04:59] phishie: not that i know of, all i tried doing was updating the systems when my internet connection got interrupted and the install failed [04:59] phishie: ever since then i havnt been able to boot correctly or at all [05:00] i cant install gparted theres not enough space lol [05:00] how can i fix the problem? [05:00] fusionxtc: try booting ubuntu into recovery mode and 'try fixing' the xorg config from there. not sure if it will work, but that's the easiest i could think of no [05:00] now* [05:01] ello people [05:01] bobtt whats going on? [05:01] ello mook [05:01] phishie: thats what the guy before kinda wanted me to do [05:01] I think I may know whats up [05:01] um kinda needin help or a miracle one you choose [05:01] fusionxt: I had a problem like that (boots to a blank screen), I use two GPUs and found in Xorg.0.log it couldn't determine which was the primary card, just putting the busid in xorg.conf fixed it for me [05:01] I have 'exec wbar & awesome' in .xinitrc. i only see the wbar app in one of the monitors. how to make it show on the other as well. (i have X in each). [05:01] neros i installed winxp then ubuntu, let it manage the partitions and i think it might have messed up [05:01] oh [05:02] it's apparently already run out of space [05:02] phishie: then using the start command i was able to access ubuntu then i ran sudo aptitude safe-upgrade and then restarted the computer [05:02] Hey guys I'm having an issue. My executable file is in the same directory, but when I do ./server_linux it says No such file or directory... [05:02] bob thats the way i did it but im runing the nvidia 7300 gt [05:02] phishie: the guy left that was helping me and when rebooting it didnt fix the problem [05:02] <[R]> Tarantulafudge: what does 'ldd' say about the binary? [05:02] Taran... chmod +x server_linux [05:03] phishie: i just tried the fsck task in recovery mode [05:03] is there anything i can do to fix it? [05:03] fusionxtc: i'm afraid i can't think of anything to help but Joe_ might be able to help you on this if you have 2 GPUs [05:03] [R]: it just says "not a dynamic executable" [05:03] <[R]> Tarantulafudge: what does 'file' say about it? [05:03] printing problem here. I can't print and my printers are not showing up in printer lists in such things as open office. I try to print there and I only have generic printer listed. Just this morning it was different [05:03] anyone here a pppd god? Thing is I'm tethering my BlackBerry storm over bluetooth...

I'm out of ideas.... *shrugs* im so sorry.... [05:05] <[R]> Tarantulafudge: do you have 386 glibc installed? [05:06] cwe_fine [05:06] phishie:sorry got disconnect [05:06] [R]: I don't know, this is a fresh install of 8.04 [05:06] phishie: how would i switch a runlevel if that is the problem at hand?

[05:08] phishie: thanks for try ^__^ [05:08] <[R]> Tarantulafudge: that might be a start [05:08] i can swap a ubunutu hdd into a new pc and boot without reloading right? [05:09] Ali_nz: ive had mixxed succes with doing that. [05:09] Ali_nz: issues may be the video card and perhaps sound card. [05:09] fusionxtc: i try to help, but i'm no pro lol. i'm sure someone in here has the solution [05:09] anyone knows how to make the ethernet port work on an offline LAN network, while accessing internet wirelessly? [05:10] be careful... the ubunutu tribe does not like ubuntu... if you see a spear coming at you, duck!

[05:12] i mounted an sftp server on Gnome and it displays an icon on my Desktop .. but where does the sftp server actually mount to? [05:12] soreau: reformat .... reinstall... download b43 package and add network!! we are in business thanks for the help [05:12] usser, hello, I received help from you a couple of days ago on how to make a lan network between two computers using an ethernet port and a router, I dont know if you remeber me [05:12] phishie: thanks for the help too [05:12] <[R]> moymoy: ~/.gvfs [05:12] hi [05:12] nw-b, yea i remember something like that [05:12] SnakDoc, correct. I am getting a weird popup about me saving or opening a phtml file. and yes, I have installed the libapache2-mod-php5 package and ran sudo a2enmod php5 and restarted apache2. any other thoughts? [05:12] moymoy mount should either be /media or /mnt [05:13] /msg nickserv identify Gr3/-\tZ [05:13] woodworker: np at all, i just hope i didn't waste your time [05:13] [R]: i thought that was only for smb mounted shares.. ls'd ~/.gvfs but it was empty =\ [05:13] helliss22 lol [05:13] hellis22: you should change that now, probably [05:13] JOE_ : could you help me out with this boot problem? [05:13] 98 [05:13] <[R]> moymoy: its for evfertyhting virtual gnome mounts... and its not mounted if its empty [05:13] phishie: nope it is all a learning experience, and this certainly has been one of those [05:13] mazda01 give me a min see what i can find for you took most my ideas away [05:14] Anyone here good with pppd? [05:14] I cant get it working right in 9.04 [05:14] SnakDoc, i know. I have been trying to solve this for the last 6 hours. reinstalling packages etc etc. [05:14] woodworker: ^^ [05:14] fusionxt: Do you use multiple graphics cards? [05:14] usser, the thing is that now, I need to reconfigure it just to work with a NAS HDD via a offline router. Do you think you can help me? if you have time, I will give more details on pastebin [05:14] the computer is a laptop so im affraid not [05:14] Potter [05:15] nw-b, whats an offline router? [05:15] [R]: it's mounted.. i can access the files and perform tasks.. but the directories are empty? [05:15] [R]: the .gvfs directory i mean [05:15] a router that's on standby? not active? not passing traffic? [05:15] usser, I have a wireless router, but I do not have an ethernet port with internet connection. I only receive internet via wireless [05:15] SnakDoc, nevermind. i just needed to clear firefox's cache. it's working. sorry [05:16] usser, that is what I mean with an offline router [05:16] Joe_ : the computer is a laptop so im affraid not [05:16] nw-b, right and your pc is sharing the wireless connection to the rest of the devices right? [05:16] fusionxt: hmm, can you get to a command prompt? [05:16] mazda01 lol i just had something i was going to get you to try :P [05:16] usser, yea [05:16] <[R]> moymoy: and you're sure you are doing the ls as the correct user? [05:16] mazda01 glade to see its working [05:16] nw-b, whats up with the NAS then, is it on the same wired network the rest of the devices are? [05:17] Joe_ : when i boot the computer it goes to a DOS looking screen, i can input commands like if it were terminal [05:17] usser, yeah [05:17] SnakDoc, yeah me too. i was racking my brain. now I am trying to clean up a music library that spans 2 drives but there's duplicates. i am using fslint. have you ever used it? [05:17] nw-b, but you cant access it? [05:17] fusionxt: ok, look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log and see if any errors show in there (EE) [05:17] usser, do not know how to configure it [05:17] nw-b, the way i remember it you had to give everything a static ip, we set it up with 192.168.0.0 right [05:17] woodworker: no problem, glad you got it working [05:18] mazda01 no sure haven't was looking for something to do that :P lol just never got around to it [05:18] usser, well, it was 192.168.0.1 [05:18] nw-b, those kinds of devices usually have a setup page, that you can access through you browser [05:18] how do i look at it tho, just using the command prompt itself? [05:18] and 192.168.0.100 for windows [05:18] usser, and 192.168.0.100 for windows [05:19] nw-b, im assuming NAS wants to receive the ip automatically but it cant or gets from your router, the router gives out ips from 192.168.1.1 subnet [05:19] Joe_ : how do i look at it tho, just using the command prompt itself? [05:19] fusionxt: cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep EE [05:19] nw-b, you can either give the NAS the static ip or change your router settings to give out ip from 192.168.0.0 range [05:19] fusionxt: that should spit out any lines that have an error in them [05:20] Joe_ : when i put it into the line for the code it said permission denied [05:20] fusionxt: put sudo in front of it (will ask for password) [05:20] usser, I setup my NAS drive to work on 192.168.2.4 on port 24 [05:20] nw-b, what i'd is temporarily disable the static ip on your windows box, see what ip router gives it, then if its 192.168.1.something go to your routers web page, usually 192.168.1.1 and change the ip range that it gives out [05:20] Joe_ : ohhhhh [05:20] nw-b, NAS should be on the same subnet ie, 192.168.0.0 [05:21] nw-b, if you can somehow change 192.168.2.4 on the router to 192.168.0.something you should be set [05:21] usser, ok, I think I can make it happen [05:21] then I can access the drive via web browser? [05:21] usser, then I can access the drive via web browser? [05:22] [R]: i'm doing ls as root on for the .gvfs directory on all the home folders [05:23] usser, I used to access the drive via Network connections, Windows Network, etc etc etc [05:23] nw-b, no, if you give it ip from 192.168.0.0 range it should work as before, what im saying NAS's routers etc all have some sort of config page that you can access from a browser [05:23] doesnt seem to be working [05:23] <[R]> moymoy: only the user that owns the directory can ls it [05:24] sudo /var/log/Xorg.0.log [05:24] Joe_: /var/log/Xorg.0.log [05:25] Joe_: sudo /var/log/Xorg.0.olg correct? [05:25] Joe_: log^^ [05:25] anyone know how to use fslint to remove all duplicate across 2 folder locations but keep a copy from one of the folders? [05:25] fusionxt: cat /vat... [05:25] usser, ok, I see [05:25] usser: Not all NAS drive have a config page acessable through a router I have a buffalo linkstation and u have to install there software to manage it not use a browser [05:25] Joe_: cat/vat what is that? [05:25] usser, I am going to try, if I get problems, can I bother you again? [05:26] fusionxt: cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log [05:26] fusionxt: cat is a command to display what is in the file [05:26] Joe_: ohhhhhhhhhh :P sorry [05:26] cat concatenates - joins together other files [05:26] anyone have a script that displayes my sys info for xchat?

[06:40] inside System, Prefs, Removable Drives and Media, the media tab is missing in jaunty. anyone please help [06:41] Ratapoil: maybe shrink the / partition, install your new os in the free space and mount your old partition as /home and delete the os files?

[06:44] Ratapoil: Ive resized a lot of partitions with gparted including ntfs ones, and never had a problem so far. it's down to you at the end but I've never had a problem myself. ymmv [06:44] And now it's got a few more listed, it seems to be going through all my apps... [06:45] maybe I'll have to do that, cause blinking numlcok is retarded [06:45] Ratapoil: is an option at least... [06:45] *its [06:45] option involving time and risk [06:45] Ratapoil: which is fun! :) [06:46] Can somebody help me? I have a sony vgn-cr220e with ubuntu jaunty and I cant find a way to make the internal mic work [06:46] Ratapoil: the amount of sketchy hacks I've done to get a job done there and then without the proper tools that have suceeded make this look like a cakewalk [06:47] what look lke a cakewalk?

[07:00] fwaokda: it most likely removed your fglrx drivers - you could rerun the 'hardware drivers' tool and it may want to reinstall them [07:00] <``y7> i just installed ubuntu on a machine that i already had ubuntu on. i switched out the hdds. ubuntu installs to the new hdd just fine, but when it goes to boot up, i get an error: "Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0x7"...

[07:01] fwaokda: i would reinstall them from ati.com - if there was a kernel upgrade THAT would rewuire you to reinstall them from ati.com each time the kernel updates [07:01] ÓлὲººÓïµÄ£¿ [07:02] LacobF: help? [07:02] Dr_Willis, ok I'll do a reinstall of them thanks [07:02] fwaokda: that will be needed EACH time theres a kernel update.. most likely.. somthing to rember [07:02] hey everyone, I discovered why VLC plays music so loud [07:02] it is because ubuntu is so quiet [07:02] they cancel out [07:02] Interphase: becuse its so Leet! :) [07:03] mazda01: I ran it in terminal so I could see what's going on, otherwise I just have a jammed synaptic for an hour, also that's the same output as apt-get update [07:03] Dr_Willis, ok thanks [07:03] * gimpy is saddened that nobody bought into his pitiful joke... :( [07:03] gimpy: run it in virtualbox and take a screen shot. ;P [07:03] LacobF: what should i do next?

[07:37] [R], how is it different from opening up a terminal [07:37] I get something like 800kb-1,5Mb of transfer speed between my ubuntu and windows on LAN [07:37] <[R]> jbu: its not really [07:37] Nick_Meister: Google it [07:38] Nick_Meister: several beeps can be turned off in different ways. - one way is the command 'xset b 0 0 0' (sets beeps volume to zero) === cfelectro|away is now known as cfelectro [07:38] <[R]> jbu: excpet you can login as a differnet user [07:38] mazda01: Perhaps check if there's anything to do with brasero in Services lol [07:38] Nick_Meister: also you could blacklist the pcspkr module - that shoul kill most beeps (but not system sounds) [07:38] Nick_Meister: YOu need to blacklist some stuff [07:38] Nick_Meister disconnect the wire to the system beep if it's a desktop [07:38] Nick_Meister: Dr_Willis's stuff :) [07:38] unfortunately its a laptop [07:38] Dr_Willis, that's not it. how many time do I have to tell people this. the setting does not control what is occuring I have already checked that. thanks for trying though. [07:38] ::( [07:39] LacobF, that's a thought. brb [07:39] im gonna try to beep thing [07:39] i mean the xset [07:39] ok it appears like it worked thanks [07:39] rmmod pcspkr [07:39] do i need to do that every time i log on then? [07:39] the xset thing [07:39] blacklist it [07:39] LacobF, nope. [07:40] Yes you need to do that on every boot [07:40] :( [07:40] BUt dr_willises is a roundaway solution [07:40] Remove the pcspkr module [07:40] ill just setup to run that command on startup [07:40] rmmod pcspkr [07:40] No [07:40] do that and then blacklist it [07:40] I have Jaunty installed. After logging in, the login screen shows up again. When I login in failsafe terminal the followin I encounter some error which is related to gConf. [07:41] pcspkr module controlls the old fashioned 'beeps' that used to be made by the speakers on the motherboard. (rember those days?) :) [07:41] I have Jaunty installed. After logging in, the login screen shows up again. When I login in failsafe terminal I encounter some error which is related to gConf. any idea... [07:41] Lartza_, how exactly do i blacklist? cause i ran that command [07:41] Dr_Willis: Thos beeps he is turning off [07:41] staticRails: try making a new user see if it works for them also? [07:41] blacklist is controlled by some file in /etc/ i forget what one [07:41] !blacklist [07:41] To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add « blacklist » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » [07:41] Nick_Meister: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklis [07:42] *blacklist [07:42] ok thanks [07:42] Hmm.. to load in specific order.. someone was asking about that yesterday [07:42] Dr_Willis: What does the xset do? [07:42] Dr_Willis: how I can make a new user without logging in? [07:43] staticRails: Yoy can't :) [07:43] staticRails: the console is our friend. :) [07:43] staticRails: alt-ctrl-f1, login, sudo adduser billgates [07:43] Good Morning [07:43] Morning [07:44] Anyone here got a clue about fglrx driver? === ^Phantom^ is now known as P|Snoozing [07:44] Dr_Willis: thanks. I am trying it now.. [07:45] What program cam i use to tweak the contrast/hue/etc on my webcam (for skype)? [07:45] @ Neroon what distro are you running? [07:45] staticRails: if it works with the new user.. but not the old. its some config issue with the non-working user.. [07:46] Can someone help me try and repair my display settings? I have a Radeon 4850 card and have dual monitors setup. I recently used "Computer Janitor" and it screwed everything up, i think. So I uninstalled (purged) all the ati packages I could think of and then reinstalled from scratch. I've now managed to get the displays back up with one extended display BUT I can't get the full resolution of the main monitor only the resolution sett [07:46] ing prior to it. [07:46] So why is my ftp only around 1,5Mb(slower usually) [07:46] lstarnes: I deleted 'host = "MD97600" in ~/.irssi/config. I did /reload. I errorneously issued the command '/connect irc.gnome.org'. Irrsi connected me to irc.gnome.org and gave me the nickname bullgard5. I do not know how to undo this command. -- I issued the command '/connect irc.gimp.net'. It connected me to irc.gimp.net. Voila! But it gave me the nickname bullgard6. [07:46] did you try installing or running the ati settings under root? [07:46] Now it's 1,3Mb [07:47] Computers on a meter or so LAN cable, proftpd Ubuntu to Filezilla Windows [07:47] bullgard4: you can disconnect from a server using /disconnect irc.gnome.org and change your nick using /nick bullgard4 [07:47] rhin0, yes I still get an error for some reason when I try and open the superuser aticonfig from the menu (but before I never changed my settings from there only from sys>prefs>display) [07:47] @rhin0 me? [07:47] why would X fail on one account on my machine [07:48] I get mode not found when trying to login [07:48] Dr_Willis: The problem doesn't solved... same issue for the new user. [07:48] but other accounts work fine [07:48] hilary: You messed things up on your homefolder config files? [07:48] which config file [07:48] What is the last thing you did with the now non-working account [07:48] and I don't recall editing any of them recently [07:48] Ok, what DID you do? [07:49] Hola gente, que tal os va? [07:49] I have Jaunty installed. After logging in, the login screen shows up again. When I login in failsafe terminal I encounter some error which is related to gConf. any idea... [07:49] fwaokda, I have an nvidia card, but if it is the same, ati-settings manager as root, and overwrite the xconfg file after you change, and then log off and log on again for x to reset (or reset x on your own) [07:49] Dr_Willis: The problem doesn't solved... same issue for the new user. [07:49] How late does this server run? 7 Days a week? [07:49] I used the resolution gui to look at what resolutions were available, as I was only getting 800x600 on a thin client attached to the server [07:49] @wizzo it actually closes in 10 minutes [07:49] I didn't change anything though [07:50] I have Jaunty installed. After logging in, the login screen shows up again. When I login in failsafe terminal I encounter some error which is related to gConf. any idea... [07:50] hilary: Hmm... I don't have much of idea [07:50] !es | el_rey_li [07:50] el_rey_li: 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. [07:50] nomad77: He already left......... [07:50] sorry [07:50] rhin0: Is their other servers that run 24 hrs, 7 days a week? [07:50] how one can reinstall the gconf from the command line without newtork connection? [07:51] staticRails: Download the package with some other computer and usb it [07:51] @wizzo: I was kidding, I would assume this runs as long as the interwebs are connected together [07:51] Lartza_: I have live cd [07:51] how can I use it? [07:52] rhin0: I couldn't get online with it last night and I am just new within the last 2 weeks on here [07:52] staticRails: TO get the package from there? That is possible [07:52] Lartza_: how? [07:52] lstarnes: '/nick bullgard4; [GIMPnet] -!- Nick bullgard4 is already in use' [07:52] staticRails: I am not sure how to setup it as package source, but you can browse the cd for the package [07:52] I could do it on gui [07:52] BUt just find the package from the cd [07:52] Hi, My Hardy is updating kernel and it asks me what to do about menu.lst. [07:52] please...how do I install flash cs3 in wine???? [07:53] wizzo: no ideas then, I just got on, maybe they were doing maintainence [07:53] Bolice: Normally [07:53] rhin0: Probably [07:53] nikolam, have you edited menu.lst yourself ever? [07:53] What option should I choose to preserve another ubuntu instalaltion that also boots from menu.lst? [07:53] Bolice: Like any windows program, you run the setup with wine [07:53] is there an way in ubuntu to remove hangover? [07:53] @Bolice: have you thought about installing Virtual Box and installing windows to run that, hell of a lot better than wine [07:53] Im using cp to copy a file from A to B but every time the file gets to B, its like 20KB shorter, nomatter what I try.. there is NO error, no disk full, nothing.. Isnt CP supposed to copy the file completely?? whats up here? [07:53] Interphase, every time I update kernel, since 6.10 Interphase ... [07:54] rhin0: Or not, you need more powerful computer for that [07:54] Because kernel update messe menu.lst every time. [07:54] nwm found! suso apt-get remove hangover [07:54] niko, what I did with that was save my old menu.lst, then copy/paste what I had edited into the new one [07:54] ,i got an err.err:msi:ITERATE_Actions Execution halted, action L"ProcessPropertyFile.E35C3ECB_5FDA_49E1_AB1F_D472B7CB9017" returned 1603 [07:54] The setup gives that? [07:54] phoenixz: check the md5sums of the two files.. perhaps it's just a file system thing [07:54] Interphase, I didi it 2, for 2 years And I am finally sick of it. [07:55] Are you sure your setup is not corrupted, if it's not it might need some settings changes or might not work at all. [07:55] is there any good ftp gui client? [07:55] lol, nikolam, it takes like 3 minutes [07:55] !ftp [07:55] I want kernel update that does not mess up other linux/ubuntu installations on machine. [07:55] FTP clients: Nautilus (Places -> Connect to server), gFTP, FileZilla (for !GNOME); Konqueror, Kasablanca, KFTPGrabber (for !KDE); FireFTP (for Firefox); ftp, lftp (for !cli) - See also !FTPd [07:55] ,thanks, but i didn't like vbox, I don't think it's quickly enough [07:55] Interphase, Try it on 7 servers [07:55] @Bolice, Lartza: depends on the specs of the computer, I run 2 gigs of ram and an old dual core and can run cs3 photoshop in virtual box on virtual xp [07:55] nautilus is ftp client? :O [07:55] nikolam, that does sound like it sucks [07:55] then I don't know [07:56] Question is just what option to choose [07:56] But I have a semi-new singlecore with 2 gigs [07:56] I have backup, Interphase :) [07:56] bullgard4: that's most likely being caused by having another connection open on that network [07:56] Bolice: Flash CS3 Should work, badly [07:57] how one can reinstall the gconf from the command line without newtork connection? [07:57] Bolice: Installer was not tested, but properties and parameters panels are empty and other problems [07:57] how one can reinstall the gconf from the command line without newtork connection, but using the live cd? [07:57] Bolice: But F4 fixes the hidden panels [07:58] DOn't know why your installer fails, others say it is fine [07:58] Are you using what version of wine? [07:58] 1.0.1 ir 1.1.25? [07:58] *or [07:59] lstarnes: '/disconnect irc.gnome.org; !- Irssi: Not connected to server' [07:59] is it possible to force a resolution to a monitor in the xorg.conf? The monitor supports a resolution but after every restart it reverts to a smaller resolution... ??? [07:59] can anyone tell me how to re-enable ctrl+alt+backspace? [07:59] but , Installer doesn't run [07:59] !dontzap | logankoester [07:59] logankoester: 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. [07:59] thanks [07:59] fwaokda: check in /var/log/Xorg.0.log to see why it's not using the higher resolutions [08:00] Bolice: What wine version do you have? [08:00] is that decision likely to be reversed in the future? [08:00] it's ridiculous [08:00] ,1.1.25 [08:00] Slart, I don't know what to look for in this file :( [08:00] logankoester: iirc /etc/sysctl.conf [08:00] Bolice: I can't really help much it sohuld work somehow [08:01] fwaokda: have you opened it? look for lines starting with (EE) or (WW).. those mean Error and Warning respectively [08:01] how one can reinstall the gconf from the command line without newtork connection, but using the live cd? [08:01] fwaokda: you can pastebin it and we can all have a look [08:01] logankoester: kernel.sysrq = 1 [08:02] Slart, http://pastebin.com/m33160f4f -- thanks [08:02] nomad77: i mean as a default [08:02] ,thnks whatever [08:02] no distro using X should disable ctrl+alt+backspace [08:03] logankoester: I think you should blame the developers of Xorg for that [08:03] that decision should be left to the X implementation [08:03] oh sorry 3am here that was ctrl+alt+delete=reboot duh on me [08:03] how one can reinstall the gconf from the command line without newtork connection, but using the live cd? [08:03] Slart, I can post the xorg.conf file if needed also... [08:03] fwaokda: sure [08:04] Slart, http://pastebin.com/m472bdfe9 [08:05] fwaokda: what resolution do you want to use? what does it use when you reboot? [08:05] Hi, on my Ubuntu, I want to start all over: Uninstall it and reinstall it again. How do I go about doing this when It is on a partition of its own. My problem is, I don't have enough space to add some things on here [08:06] logankoester: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-enable-ctrl-alt-backspace-in-ubuntu-jaunty.html#more-1421 [08:06] lstarnes: '/help' lists 122 keywords. '/help ' prints the syntax of the command but not the semantics (and in some cases a rudimentary semantics). Where can I find the semantics of the Irssi commands? [08:06] Slart, it keeps reverting to 1680x1050 (which is what the second monitor uses) but It is able and has used before the resolution 1920x1080 [08:06] fwaokda: that was the entire log file? [08:07] bullgard4: in many cases you can guess by the name [08:07] wizzo_: you might try booting into a live CD and resizing the partitions, after you have done a backup of course [08:07] Slart, http://pastebin.com/m708c0e57 [08:08] gabkdlly: How you do that? [08:08] Slart, it said it has changed so there is the updated one after i reloaded it [08:08] wizzo_: look for "Partition Editor" under System [08:08] Slart, I guess I could also change the settings and let it mess up and then repost the log after it messes up, if you want? [08:08] !usplash [08:08] To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork [08:10] gabkdlly: I don't see that under System [08:10] ciao [08:10] fwaokda: this might be an ATI problem... you can see in the log file that it does detect that one monitor can do 1920x1080 and the other one 1400x1050 .. but then the log file ends before you can see anything about why it selects the video mode it does [08:11] my ubuntu is sexy [08:11] !list [08:11] This is not a file sharing channel (or network). If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [08:11] wizzo_: I think it will be there once you boot into the live CD, it might be called gparted [08:11] lstarnes: My intelligence is insufficient to guess the semantics of commands like NETWORK, CHANNEL, SERVER although I am the holder of 6 patents for my company (an international concern) issued to major countries of the world. So I need it written down somewhere in order to read it and understand it. Where is it to be found? [08:11] Slart, I just did something else let me see if it gave us more info [08:11] bullgard4: in some cases it isn't written down [08:11] lstarnes: I see. [08:11] Oh, close this and put the Original Ubuntu disk in and reboot and find it in there then? [08:12] how one can reinstall the gconf from the command line without newtork connection, but using the live cd? [08:12] Slart, nope no new info [08:12] how one can reinstall the a package from the command line without newtork connection, but using the live cd? [08:12] Slart, just had a thought though... I'm gonna try something and relog to see if it works [08:12] how one can reinstall a package from the command line without newtork connection, but using the live cd? [08:12] wizzo_: yes [08:12] gabkdlly: ok [08:12] Hi all [08:13] where is turkish help room? [08:13] bullgard4: irssi.org? [08:13] !tr |zydas [08:13] zydas: Turk ubuntu kullanıcıları, Türkçe yardım ya da geyik için #ubuntu-tr hizmetinizde. [08:14] thanks, but please turkish ubuntu channel link? [08:14] #ubuntu-ir [08:14] zydas: #ubuntu-tr [08:15] lstarnes, Thank you verry much [08:15] . [08:15] zydas: or, if you need an actual URL, irc://irc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-tr [08:16] nomad77: Your message is too short to be comprehensible. [08:17] Slart, well now I have the proper resolution on one monitor but the second monitor isn't receiving a signal anymore... know of a way to fix that? [08:17] bullgard4: documentation at http://irssi.org/ [08:18] @staticrails is your cdrom in your repository list? [08:19] nomad77: I had done much snooping in http://irssi.org/ and could not find the semantics of the 122 commands. Tell me, for example, where is the semantics of the /SERVER command to be found precisely. [08:19] Slart, ok I have the proper 1920x1080 on the primary monitor, but the highest I can get to work on the secondary monitor is 1400x1050 it seems... no the highest which is 1680x1050 [08:20] Slart, this gets stranger and stranger... now I tried to revert back to the 1680x1050 and now it works... [08:20] hello. I've just dragged a folder in nautilus to the space where all mounted devices are listed and now it disappeard! Is there any chance that this folder still exists somewhere? [08:20] Slart, I'm gonna try logging off and back on and seeing if it sticks [08:20] i'd use /help server if you need more,then i don't know [08:20] umm... I made a mistake when I edited visudo, now I can't sudo anything (to include getting back in there to fix the mistake)... what can I do? [08:21] bullgard4: I would suggest asking the developers to make more concise documentation, including full definitons of all semantics [08:21] Joe_: boot to recovery root console and change it [08:21] bullgard4: however, for the average user, the current documentation is usually sufficient [08:21] actionparsnip1 arg, was hoping something other than that... oh well, thanks [08:22] lstarnes: Is a Launchpad bug report the proper way to ask developers for a more concise Irssi documentation? [08:23] bullgard4: irssi's official website, http://irssi.org/, has the appropriate contact details somewhere [08:23] bullgard4: alternatively, you yourself could make more concise documentation [08:23] lstarnes: I noted times and again heated debates in the IRC channel #irssi about this issue. [08:24] lstarnes: I could do only guesswork as I do not know what the developer intended when he wrote the code. [08:25] would someone help me enabling korean input on my computer, i have taken the steps i think should enable it, but i'm having problems [08:25] !keyboard | Brett1 [08:25] Brett1: To switch your keyboard layout on GNOME: System -> Preferences -> Keyboard (GNOME) - KDE: K -> System Settings -> Regional & Language -> Keyboard Layout (KDE) - Xfce: see https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/xubuntu/desktopguide/C/switch-keyboard-layout.html - See also !Shortcuts [08:26] bullgard4: what was their response about the issue?

[08:28] Neroon: I wnat to reinstall gconf [08:28] @staticrails i though you wanted to use the live cd? [08:29] Slart well i probably have to reboot then, there was a /dev/sda1 i've deleted [08:29] EdgEy: ah... yes.. it might change when you reboot [08:29] staticRails: so is the usb device the media you installed with? [08:29] Neroon: I can't login ActionParsnip1 ya [08:29] ActionParsnip1: sorry.... yes [08:30] der_On: The file is on whatever device you dropped it onto. [08:30] staticRails: then if you enable it as a repo in /etc/apt/sources.lst then it will be used. the top line references the installation media [08:30] Shazburg: and if i dropped it between two devices? [08:30] ActionParsnip1: [08:30] ActionParsnip1: tkx [08:30] actionparsnip1 saves me typing ;-) [08:31] der_On: It'll be on one of them. That behaviour is always a copy/move depending on the device. [08:31] I still cannot get the display to work correctly, I only get a maximum resolution of 800x600 with a ratio of 4:3. I have tried running the guest additions for linux like someone in here suggested yesterday but it still won't work [08:31] Anyone have any ideas? [08:32] anyone know how to tell putty to start a new logfile to log stuff? [08:32] @neil so the guest additions are installed? [08:32] I seem to remember some way of manipulating Xorg settings without editing xorg.conf itself; are there some XML files that can set values without having to create a specific xorg.conf? [08:32] Yep. [08:32] hello [08:32] Shazburg: what if i accidently dropped it onto trash and now if i want to open trash, it says: The folder contents could not be displayed. [08:32] @neil hm [08:32] der_On: That would be a bad thing. [08:32] ActionParsnip1: What should I write in this file? [08:33] maybe recovery? [08:33] der_On: What filesystem are you using? [08:33] how can i install an older version of nvidia-glx? the newest version in apt doesn't support geforce 4 [08:33] @staticrails you shouldnt need to add anything. but the first line should be your install media [08:33] CorpX: putty -log ~/newLogFileName [08:33] Shazburg: the folder was on an ntfs file-system [08:33] @staticrails it might have an # in front of it [08:34] der_On: This might suck then. Hold on a sec. [08:34] Hi folks - having a bit of a dumb morning, how do I create a tar.gz file that includes all files in a dir, including hidden files? [08:34] I tried it yesterday and it allowed a a higher resolution but the aspect ratio wasn't correct to fit correctly on 15.5 inch wide screen correctly and when I reloaded unbuntu today it was back to normal with the maximum at 800x600 [08:34] Bundestrojaner: use the hardware drivers dialog thingy.. it has older versions as well [08:34] Shazburg: ive already opened the terminal and found out there is a ntfsundelete command. I think i need to unmount the drive first, cause it says that the drive is in use.

My heart nearly stopped [08:36] Shazburg: thank you anyway. [08:36] der_On: couldve restored from backup if anything went wrong [08:36] der_On: I'll take a problem like this over a real one any day.

[08:38] spikemcc: try sudo apt-get install python-numpy [08:39] Revo: if you run: echo $http_proxy [08:39] I'm sorry to go on about this but has anyone got any ideas on why the resolution isn't working. It's just that I am looking to move to a linux OS permanently but I want to try using it on my windows system first and I really can't use it properly if I only have a small window sized display [08:39] DaveTarmac: tar cfv test.tar test/ [08:39] Revo: does it show [08:39] DaveTarmac: Will grab everything in the directory, including hidden files. [08:39] hey guys, once I found a website about command line - programs, does anybody know it, I can't remember the website address... [08:39] neil: what is the output of: lspci | grep -i vga [08:39] how can i find all the ATi packages I have installed so I can remove them all? [08:40] Shazburg: will it include JUST the contents on the directory, or the directory itself? [08:40] fwaokda: dpkg -l | grep -i ati | less [08:40] hello bitlbee users..how to visible in a particular person using yahoo... [08:40] hey HELP me plzzz [08:40] dsotr: There's lots of websites about command line programs. Anything in particular you can remember about it? what was it for? etc? [08:40] fwaokda: will help [08:40] DaveTarmac: The directory itself, and it's contents. [08:40] thanks [08:40] @neil sorry, but i don't know about ubuntu in a virtual machine [08:41] !ask | haanuj [08:41] haanuj: 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. :-) [08:41] Flannel: I think there was "cli" in the name :) [08:41] @ActionParsnip1sorry totally new to learning PCs in depth and don't exactly understand the latter part of your question [08:41] ActionParsnip1, is there a way i can write that to a file so i can see all of it at once? [08:41] @Neroon Thank you anyway [08:41] Shazburg: is there a way to get it to do jsut the contents, only I'm moving the files to a web server and I'd rather not extract them and then copy them all to the root dir [08:41] i have a problem with 3D effects. that's not permanent [08:41] fwaokda: instead of | less, do > file [08:42] Flannel: can you point me to one of them anyways? they may have a link to the one I'm looking for [08:42] fwaokda: so, dpkg -l | grep -i ati > file.txt [08:42] dsotr: What are you looking to learn on this website? [08:42] fwaokda: sure, instead of ' | less' change it to ' > ~/output.txt' [08:42] Flannel: a nice command-line music player, like xmms [08:42] fwaokda: dpkg -l | grep ati > ~/stuff.txt [08:43] neil: its a command line command, run i in terminal [08:43] ActionParsnip1, Flannel, thanks [08:43] fwaokda: 'ati' is fairly common in the english language [08:43] fwaokda: if you want, you can grep it again to reduce results [08:44] plzzz HELP me [08:45] ActionParsnip1, well i purged quite a few packages(?) already that were ati packages but I still see menu shortcuts and stuff so im wondering if i got everything [08:45] !details | haanuj [08:45] haanuj: 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 ..." [08:45] ActionParsnip1, this is the only thing I see possibly related to ATi, ii fglrx-modaliases 2:8.620-0ubuntu1 Identifiers supported by the ATI graphics dr [08:45] ActionParsnip1, think it is safe to remove that? [08:46] not sure, i dont buy ati cards so i'm not the guy to ask [08:46] @ActionParsnip1 It says: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: InnoTek Systemberatung GmbH VirtualBox Graphics Adapter [08:46] ActionParsnip1, ok thanks [08:46] ActionParsnip1, think im gonna leave it and do my reinstall of the drivers now [08:46] every time i do compiz then 3D effects come but after restarting it's gone plzzz tell me what to do [08:46] neil: ok, so its a virtualbox [08:46] neil: have youinstalled the guest additions? [08:47] yep, its sun virtual box and yes i have run the additions [08:47] every time i do compiz then 3D effects come but after restarting it's gone plzzz tell me what to do [08:47] !repeat | haanuj [08:47] haanuj: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [08:48] every time i do compiz then 3D effects come but after restarting it's gone plzzz tell me what to do [08:48] DaveTarmac: Still here? [08:48] neil: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=777759 [08:48] Shazburg: yeah mate [08:48] DaveTarmac: Okay, I think I got you covered. [08:48] neil: edit your xorg.conf and make the display sections similar [08:48] DaveTarmac: tar cvf test.tar `ls -A1` [08:48] DaveTarmac: Those are backticks. [08:49] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dt5iFG-uhHc [08:49] neil: actually i'd just use the whole thing [08:49] #kubuntu [08:49] neil: your keyboard may be different (that example uses US layout, you can omit that line) [08:49] DaveTarmac: So that 'ls' will create a file list and tar will add them to the archive, recursively, with hidden files. [08:49] Shazburg: ok, I'll give that a go, cheers [08:49] #jakarta [08:49] neil: you will need gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf to edit ti [08:49] @haanuj can you deliver some more info, what and when works with your compiz? [08:50] DaveTarmac: Cheers. [08:50] Shazburg: if I wanted to .gz that, I would add the 'z' flag, yeah? [08:51] Neroon : it's 3D effect problem.. whenever i restart then 3D effects are gone.... [08:52] yeye [08:52] @haanuh so, you want to have compiz enabled every time you start X? [08:52] @haanuj so, you want to have compiz enabled every time you start X? [08:52] Neroon: after doing "compiz" it's back.. everytime i do the same process [08:52] hi, is it possible to set environment variables at startup/system boot? [08:53] DaveTarmac: tar zcvf test.tar.gz `ls -A1` [08:53] Shazburg: did that, it started to zip the folder, then folders around it [08:53] @Action Parsnip1 Still no luck, but to be honest I'm really not sure if I have did it correctly [08:53] rd1089: you can add them to ~/.bashrc [08:54] I am totally new to anything linux and these are the kind of things I hope to be learning [08:54] neil: if you tab complete my name its easier, and it will highlight your text [08:54] neil: you will learn [08:55] neil: you need to get that text file as it is in the link i gave, then reboot. As long as you have the guest additions installed correctly then it will be fine [08:55] neil: you needed to execute the .run file on the guest additions CD for your architecture [08:55] hi, i've a problem with my whole system... it's a quad-core. when i'm doing heavy hdd load (copy GBs from sda1 to sdb1) systemload is going to 3.8 and i cant use the system any more. is there possibilty to speed this up? [08:55] I just activateded the Restricted Drivers Ubuntu listed and my machine is running "sluggish" like its skipping. I tried to go to display settings and check the settings but all that comes up is the display settings window with a horizontal gereen bar inside it. Anyone know anything I can try??? [08:56] when I login the system takes me back to the login screen again and I receive the following error when i login in failafe terminal: : "An error occured while loading or saving config info for evolution-alarm-notify..." [08:56] is there any idea? [08:57] DaveTarmac: Not sure why. Here's how I tested it: http://pastie.org/546527 [08:57] staticRails: does it do it for all users? [08:57] zaphod_home: there's ionice [08:57] ActionParsnip1: I did the run for the additions and I have got the text file and I'm just gonna reboot see if that sorts it. Thank you and I will be back to et you know if I am up and running or not [08:57] yes [08:57] zaphod_home: but I think it has to be run for each copy command [08:57] Greetings [08:58] ActionParsnip1: yes. I created a new user using command line. the result is same. [08:58] staticRails: nice one === ferret__ is now known as ferret_ [08:58] staticRails: if you log into command line then run: startx is it ok? [08:58] ActionParsnip1, i was looking for something that does not require the user to login [08:59] After long search and digging i end up here for help with pulsaudio (in kde4). i keep having problems to disable the annoying POKE sound of some applications. [08:59] rd1089: you can enable autologin. not very secure but its available [09:00] hm, ionice doesn't change performance :-( [09:00] but thanks. didn no it [09:00] ActionParsnip1, no i don;t want to enable autologin [09:01] zaphod_home: but it should make the computer usable while it is copying, if I understand that command correctly [09:01] ActionParsnip1, i just want to be able to set env variables at startup.. to enable a program written in c work properly [09:01] Hi, I'm currently on a live cd and I have 9.04 installed on my disk. The issue is a new version of libglib2.0-0 was compiled which broke a symbol causing 90% of the applications to stop working (xserver being the important one). So I'm left at the terminal and I'm trying to revert to the old version of libglib2.0-0. Any helpful pointers? [09:02] rd1089: you can put the line in /etc/rc.local so [09:02] ActionParsnip1: "Fatal server error" server is already active for display 0" [09:02] yes... should ^^ [09:02] DaveTarmac: Did that help? [09:02] rd1089: you could add them to /etc/rc.local [09:02] Shazburg: still did the same thing - probably OS X's quirkyness [09:02] thanks for the help anyway [09:02] ionice -c3 -p10998 w/ 10998 is the PID of cp [09:03] staticRails: try: sudo killall gdm first [09:03] How can I remove a package without uninstalling it's dependencies? [09:03] I'm being lame now and trying to use CyberDuck's extract feature :( [09:03] corey_: sudo apt-get --purge remove [09:03] DaveTarmac: Oh! Yeah, OSX != Ubuntu. They have a different version of tar, so you'll get different behaviour. [09:03] corey_: the deps will stay [09:03] ActionParsnip1: Nope, still no joy. To be honest, I'm feeling a bit crap because I feel like I'm bugging people, I feel like I should know the basics before I start asking for help but I can't start learning the basic until I can actually use my full screen. [09:03] corey_: to remove the deps run: sudo apt-get --purge autoremove [09:04] corey_: apt-get remove/purge won't uninstall the dependencies [09:04] Shazburg: yeah, I figured that much - thought I'd take a gamble though, how different can a tar command be? [09:04] Hi. I have a dual XP setup (Home 32bit & Pro 64bit). I also want to install 9.04. However, it only seems to recognise one XP install and want to put 9.04 after this, not at the end of the disk as required. Any ideas?! [09:04] that little exercise showed me! [09:04] neil: its all learning dude, dont sweat it [09:04] is there a program similar to netstumbler for linux? i'm in an apartment that gets free wifi from the landlord, signal sucks and need to play around with the antenna watching the signal change in real time (rather than the overall average that the standard icon displays) [09:04] neil: maybe someone in #vbox can help [09:04] ActionParnsip1: thanks for understaning [09:04] @neil that's why people are here, to help and getting help [09:04] Great. Could I chroot to a different disk and run the package manager on that? [09:04] neil: as you use the OS you will get better at it [09:05] neil: just like i'm sure you are with microsoft products [09:05] DaveTarmac: Quite a bit. BSD vs GNU and all that. But looking at the man files for OSX ls and tar, I don't see a reason why you'd be having that problem. [09:05] I'll give that a try. Thanks for at least for trying to solve my issue. [09:05] Shazburg: probably one of those days [09:06] thats part of the reason i thought id give linux a try i was getting bored of windows [09:06] Is it possible to modify packages on disk when I'm running from livecd? [09:06] neil: stay with it im new too and will never go back [09:06] Anyway, thanks for the help. See ya. [09:06] DaveTarmac: Well, you can fight it and find a way to bend the shell to your will, or you can accept the default and live with the parent directory being in the tarball. [09:06] corey_: you can install and uninstall packages like an installed system [09:06] corey_: your "disk" space is limited to how much ram you have [09:06] ActionParsnip1: a lengthy error... the last line is : "xauth: error in locking authority file /home/username/.Xauthority [09:07] DaveTarmac: You could always extract it in /tmp, then move the files where you need them. [09:07] Shazburg: I'll just live with it [09:07] ActionParsnip1: I am talking about a physical disk installed with ubuntu [09:07] more than one way to skin a cat [09:07] ActionParsnip1: I think he means "can I install stuff to the installed system on disk while using a live cd" [09:07] ActionParsnip1: this ubuntu has a broken symbol, I want to replace the package while on the livecd [09:07] staticRails: ok, whats the output of: ls -l ~/.Xauthority ? [09:08] corey_: how many packages are you looking at reinstalling? just one? [09:08] corey_: you can chroot to the installed system [09:08] ActionParsnip1: anothe line which i think may be useful: "failed to initialize GEM. Falling back to classic." [09:08] DaveTarmac: Quite so. Best of luck to you. [09:08] Slart: yes, one. [09:08] Shazburg: thanks again [09:08] the owner is root root [09:08] staticRails: thats why [09:08] ActionParsnip1: the owner is root root [09:08] ActionParsnip1: and once chroot'd any dpkg command will effect that system? [09:08] corey_: either use chroot.. or just download the package and install it in recovery mode [09:09] staticRails: have you been running sudo gedit and/or sudo nautilus ? [09:09] ActionParsnip1: when? [09:09] staticRails: when you had a desktop boot [09:10] Slart: actually, the package I want to overwrite with is from the livecd, where could I find the .deb? [09:10] corey_: packages.ubuntu.com [09:10] Slart: so the packages on the livecd is obfuscated? [09:10] corey_: I'm not sure of the structure of a live cd.. it should be on it somewhere.. but I have no idea where [09:11] ActionParsnip1: I think it has crashed during the last night (when I was asleep in front of display.... lol) [09:11] my xorg is running at 100% after installing the restricted drivers... is there a way i can end the process in ubuntu until I can download a fix I've found? [09:11] is there a way to read my BIOS settings in linux? [09:11] output them to a txt file i dont know something [09:12] i; [09:12] staticRails: if you run: whoami does it say root or your user name? [09:12] username [09:12] ActionParsnip1: username [09:12] anyone? please [09:12] that important :( [09:13] Is that true Ubuntu jaunty does not support compiz fusion [09:13] staticRails: ok then you have borked your ownerships. most likely by launching gui apps with sudo instead of gksudo [09:13] fwaokda: CTRL+ALT+F1 will drop you to another terminal and you can login, then drop to runlevel 3 from there. [09:13] shaullx: Nope. [09:13] Shazburg: don't know if you're interested, but it turns out that in an archive, OS X creates an __MACOSX directory with a mirror of the archive inside it, funnily enough with ._ prefixed to the filenames [09:13] staticRails: if you run: sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /home/$USER [09:13] shaullx: I have no idea.. possibly you could get to the cmos somehow and download it.. but then you'd have to interpret it.. sounds hard and, honestly, kind of meaningless.. what are you trying to do? [09:13] shaullx: That sort of thing is up to your motherboard manufacturer. [09:13] ActionParsnip1: definitely you are right... I hadn't used gksudo in my life... :o [09:14] Shazburg, I was with you until the runlevel3 part... is that a command I just type in? [09:14] hi someone can help me make a shortcut to lauch a python script (fof game) [09:14] DaveTarmac: Fancy old Apple and their directory litter. [09:14] staticRails: sudo is for command line commands ONLY, like apt-get, cp, mv, ln etc [09:14] staticRails: gksudo is for GUI apps, like gedit, nautilus etc [09:15] fwaokda: You can. "sudo runlevel 3" should work. [09:15] ActionParsnip1: ... thx. how can it be fixed? [09:15] staticRails: if you use sudo for gui apps it doesnt set up the environment correctly and you get garbaged ownerships just like you are seeing [09:15] Shazburg, says "unkown" [09:15] is there anyway to install ubuntu from live CD and keep my music I have now? [09:15] Shazburg, unknown rather [09:15] staticRails: the command I gave, to chown your files back to your user [09:16] fwaokda: runlevel 3 means most of your daemons will run (if they're configured to do so), you'll have networking, and X won't start. [09:16] fwaokda: One sec. [09:16] Shazburg, seemed to do the trick though after alt f7'n back in thanks [09:16] !runlevel [09:16] Sorry, I don't know anything about runlevel [09:16] Hi. I have a dual XP setup (Home 32bit & Pro 64bit). I want to install 9.04 after XP64 (40GB free) but partitioner want to resize XP and install in the middle somewhere :-/ is that normal? [09:16] Shazburg: I think ubuntu only uses runlevel 2 and 5 [09:16] Shazburg: it's different from.. say Debian [09:17] mjkl: if thats where the unallocated space is then its fine [09:17] Is that true Ubuntu jaunty does not support compiz fusion?? [09:17] Hi, I have an issue and the day has been really bad, can someone help me with ubuntu+windows MBR issue? [09:17] !runlevels | Shazburg [09:17] Shazburg: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. [09:18] ActionParsnip1: [09:18] ActionParsnip1: new problem [09:18] compiz -fusion no glx found [09:18] chartoin whats the problem === MadMax is now known as Guest42411 [09:18] ravindu: if you install compizconfig-settings-manager then you will get compiz [09:18] thanks for replying OpenBluntSurgry. [09:18] Here is the problem [09:18] ravindu: then you need to install video drivers [09:18] I had windows/ubuntu 7.10 dual boot [09:18] ActionParsnip1: The last line of the lengthy error is: "xinint: connection to X server lost" [09:18] Well how about that. [09:18] i installed compiz setting manager and compiz icon [09:19] ActionParsnip1: XP home & XP64 should be contiguous though? With 40GB free after XP64. [09:19] ravindu: if you dont have 3d accelleration, you can't run compiz [09:19] something happened to windows ntfs filesystem and it wouldnt boot, I put in the win xp installation disk but it wouldnt boot [09:19] need help to complete frets on fire install by source with a mod [09:19] i install all nvvida drivers [09:19] after the press any key to continue...the screen went blank [09:20] compiz worked in intrepid not for jaunty now [09:20] fwaokda: Did you see that about the runlevels in Ubuntu? [09:20] what bootloader [09:20] mjkl: if they are seperate boots it doesnt matter, the partitions for each individual boot should be contiguous [09:20] is there a channel for people that want to put linux on there routers? [09:20] ravindu try the drivers directly from nvidia [09:20] I searched for this (googled) and found out that its an MBR problem [09:20] who knows about tv tuner cards [09:20] Shazburg, thanks! :) [09:20] the bootloader is GRUB [09:20] fwaokda: So just ignore what I said about runlevels. Glad you're working better. [09:20] yes I tried drivers from nvidia also [09:20] joejc checkout dd-wrt.com [09:20] dd-wrt joejc maybe [09:20] who knows about tv tuner cards [09:20] ravindu: if you run: gksudo nvidia-settings does it show the driver version and not show any error messages? [09:20] Please someone: what's the package to install to get Hardware Driver Manager? [09:20] OpenBluntSurgry, the bootloader is GRUB [09:20] Shazburg, yes thanks [09:20] ActionParsnip1: ok, thanks! [09:20] but not all routers works ...

[09:23] Morning. Odd problem, wonder if anyone's seen it. 9.04 with metacity & FGLRX works fine BUT, on login if I drag a window on the screen, the entire machine crashes. After a few minutes, I can drag as much as I like, this only happens just after logging in. [09:23] spikemcc: my tv card works with tvtime ,but myth tv wont tune as it doesnt have country specific frequency,tvtime is smart just tuned everything [09:23] Hey peoples what is good [09:23] ActionParsnip1: the problem is not solved... when I changed the owner to my user. but when I try to login it takes me back to the login screen again... [09:23] staticRails: ok, but you should be the owner of all files in your home folder [09:23] I was wondering if anyone knows anything about widesrceen formatting [09:24] i have spent the last 3 hours trying to figure this stuff out.. [09:24] ActionParsnip1, can you help me? [09:24] indus ok I will try when I got it back I lended it for a while to help a friend on vista 64 (outch the troll) [09:24] ActionParsnip1: now is that true?if you install something as root, its not the case [09:24] ActionParsnip1: can you help me? [09:24] indus: all installs are as root [09:24] !ask | chartoin [09:24] chartoin: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily).

[09:26] and i cant seem to find the right cmds [09:26] indus: the home folder is made for user data, you probably ran the installer as root and then told it to install to your user area [09:26] ActionParnsip1: Just to let you know I now have a full screen ubuntu. Also, to give you a bit of a laugh. The reason for it not working cos some numpty didn't realise that the update manager hadn't been ran.

[10:11] indus: when I use failsafe terminal the xwindo is loaded.. [10:11] L33tHaxor666: Your impatience and petulance is wearing. There is no regedit. Everything you know about Windows: chuck it. [10:12] Shazburg: he's kinda annoying ... [10:12] x1650 but I got an ati readeon xpress 1150 256Mo laptop [10:12] Shazburg: what about gconf? [10:12] L33tHaxor666: http://projects.gnome.org/gconf/ [10:12] Shazburg: dont worry, ill grow on you (like fugus) [10:12] indus: I had noting im my hardware list. taught it may be better to install it... [10:12] Muting from the keyboard no longer works, even when I change the shortcut. Help? [10:13] n [10:13] Boohbah: his monitor is kinda funky and doesn't auto-detect. [10:13] Shazburg: registry = gconf. shortcuts = launchers. taskbar = panels. and so on ;) [10:13] staticRails: intel drivers are open source, hardware drivers only lists proprietary devices [10:13] indus: I had no problem with it. [10:13] could i use a modem to connect to dsl? [10:13] joejc: only if the modem supports DSL. [10:13] !search audio* [10:13] Found: [10:13] Maybe I'm just in the wrong channel. [10:13] staticRails: just do this when you have internet, sudo apt-get reinstall xserver-xorg-intel [10:13] how much would one that does cost? [10:13] indus: a very expensive experience... [10:14] staticRails: just hook this internet to that pc and do it [10:14] indus: is it possible to have internet when i am in termianl... [10:14] staticRails: no reason why not [10:15] Okay, what the deuce. Repeatedly pressing the key for fun got it to work once out of maybe fifty presses. [10:15] where would i buy a pci modem that supports dsl? [10:15] staticRails: of course it is [10:15] staticRails: of course [10:15] indus: i have internet... how I can have internet on that pc? [10:16] I get this error when trying to ./configure on ubuntu: checking for ssl... configure: error: Cannot find ssl libraries [10:16] staticRails: just connect network cable there and you got it [10:16] staticRails: just do this when you have internet, sudo apt-get reinstall xserver-xorg-video-intel [10:16] I don't know how, but "Mute" is just NOT working. The system detects that I press the key, but it's not doing anything. [10:16] Somebody please advise. [10:16] staticRails: also first do sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg [10:16] staticRails: if you have your internet configuration in your /etc/rc.local file, then you'll have internet on startup, in the terminal [10:16] dsotr, 7.10 is now an old release right? [10:16] indus: it is wireless.. adn the usb card is connected to the case.. [10:16] dsotr, how do I change the repos?

[10:18] Andorin: are you on a laptop? what kind? [10:18] Do i need to restart opr something? [10:18] indus: [10:18] staticRails: [10:18] indus: it is 5 minute it is on.... [10:18] chartoin: 7.10 has been end of lifed, and the repos are now in the "old-release" server [10:18] i pressed save [10:19] chartoin: you'll probably need to update your sources.list [10:19] chartoin: the repos are located in /etc/apt/sources.list [10:19] moymoy: Nope, on my PC. Though Mute stopped working on my laptop quite some time ago. PC is an HP Pavilion a6512p running Jaunty. [10:19] staticRails: hmm ok use a wired cable [10:19] dsotr, how do I update the sources.list? [10:19] LOL.. [10:19] staticRails: best is.. use live cd ,boot up,install the packages and you will be fine [10:19] chartoin: but to repartition you hdd I'd suggest using the live distro GParted [10:19] chartoin: open it with a text editor, or use the software sources editor gui [10:19] dsotr: gparted is also present on the live cd [10:20] I get this error when trying to ./configure on ubuntu: checking for ssl... configure: error: Cannot find ssl libraries [10:20] Ramonster: you need libssl-dev, I think. [10:20] Ramonster: you need the ssl libraraies from the development package - what are you trying to build ? [10:20] indus: ups :) [10:20] dsotr, I'll use the live cd [10:20] Andorin: sorry .. i was just interested in your problem.. didn't actually know how to fix it.. althought it might be that the kernel doesn't support the hardware (extra buttons your computer has) [10:20] !dist-upgrade | chartoin [10:20] chartoin: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [10:20] grawity: got that one\ [10:20] L33tHaxor666: Shazburg has left the channel [10:20] ikonia, what do I change in the sources list? [10:20] ikonia, trying to build arcemu [10:20] dsotr: but you are right too, gparted has an iso for doing cool stuff [10:20] indus: is it possible to boot from live and install something on installed ubuntu?? [10:20] damn [10:20] !info arcemu [10:20] Package arcemu does not exist in jaunty [10:20] moymoy: It was working earlier. [10:20] !gparted [10:20] gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php [10:21] i mean [10:21] poo poo [10:21] staticRails: of course it is [10:21] moymoy: And it doesn't work even if I set the shortcut to something like Alt+M. [10:21] chartoin: change the hostname of the releases to be old-releases.ubuntu.com [10:21] chartoin: then do apt-get update [10:21] Andorin: are you using the right sound mixer? accidentally switched by any chance? [10:22] chartoin: so the hostname for each repo should be "old-releases.ubuntu.com" [10:22] moymoy: How do I check? === lzy_ is now known as lzy [10:22] indus: can't we use the packages on the live to install it? === root is now known as Guest41852 [10:22] Do i need to restart to get this to work [10:22] staticRails: i dont understand [10:22] anyone know [10:22] ? [10:23] L33tHaxor666: when i doubt,restart :) [10:23] ok [10:23] L33tHaxor666: when in doubt,restart :) [10:23] indus: I mean isn't x-server available on the live cd? and if it is can't we install that without having internet connection? [10:23] Andorin: you can go to the sound preferences and there are various things you can test.. and also test the volume slider controls.. because that's what your keyboard is controlling right? is it controlling MASTER? [10:24] indus: I am on with the live version. [10:24] staticRails: yes ok [10:24] staticRails: you need to point the installer to the live cd package [10:24] moymoy: I can right-click the Volume icon in the panel and hit Preferences... it is indeed set to Master. [10:25] staticRails: go to synaptic and add the cd i guess [10:25] moymoy: I also can't think of anything I've done today that would change anything regarding my volume. [10:25] Andorin: okay.. does the volume slider work to change your volume? [10:25] moymoy: Yup. And the Volume Up/Down keys on my keyboard work. Just not Mute. [10:26] indus: ok... the live cd is up and I also have internet connection. how I am able to tell him the location of the installed version of ubuntu.... ( [10:26] Andorin: that's so strange.. all the keyboard commands should be controlling the same thing.. i'm assuming you set with the "keyboard shortcuts" in preferences? [10:26] WOOT [10:26] Andorin: have you tried logging out and back in? [10:26] YOU GUYS DID IT [10:27] staticRails: go to synaptic> repositories and add the cd === sean is now known as Guest87230 [10:27] my whole screen is working... [10:27] moymoy: Yes, I did. The default is the Mute key and I even tried changing the shortcut. Doesn't work. No, I haven't tried logging out. [10:27] ubuntu is my new OS [10:27] L33tHaxor666: what was your problem anyway? [10:27] I couldnt get high resolution support [10:27] Andorin: give it a shot.. let's see what happens when GNOME reloads [10:28] moymoy: K, brb. [10:28] aps ncmpc [10:28] L33tHaxor666: how high is your resolution? [10:28] indus: my question is not to use cd as a repository... I am asking you how to tell the live running os to install the x-server org package for my installed version of ubuntu [10:28] I get this error when trying to ./configure on ubuntu: checking for ssl... configure: error: Cannot find ssl libraries - what could this be since im almost sure I got the right ssl libs :s [10:28] now its at 1280 by 800, i couldnt get any wide screen [10:28] before [10:28] staticRails: sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg? [10:29] easy [10:29] add lines with gedit [10:29] was how [10:29] staticRails: sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-core , sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel [10:29] L33tHaxor666: 1680x1050 xD [10:30] indus: it is trying to install on the live version.....

[10:30] i have it in .xinit rc, before starting my wm, but it only shows in one of my monitores. [10:30] staticRails: ya wait i min [10:30] L33tHaxor666: i'm just happy, this monitor came with DELL for a good price! [10:30] hey my mbr has moved to my usb stick and not my hd [10:30] staticRails: hmm what do you mean live version? its a cd [10:30] staticRails: but i get your point [10:31] u got hdmi?

[10:31] how can I know my private ip address? [10:31] will the script still work? [10:32] to_: ifcongif /all [10:32] no hdmi huh :D [10:32] to_: ifconfig /all [10:32] to_: ifconfig -a [10:32] soz [10:32] phishie: /all is on WIndows. [10:32] Need help, network loses connection to router after a while (LAN). Even network restart doesnt help [10:32] moymoy: Still doesn't work. [10:32] oops [10:33] truecrypt says unable to create loop device when trying to mount, any ideas? [10:33] ifconfig would do lol [10:33] staticRails: not sure how we can do this [10:33] noone? [10:33] staticRails: i suggest you boot normally and install from command line, network should work [10:33] phishie: grawity: but can't see any address like 192.168.x.x in, why? [10:34] staticRails: ok wait hold on [10:34] indus: ok. I 'll try [10:34] staticRails: reinstall :) [10:34] to_: you probably don't have one. [10:34] Andorin: sorry dude, i don't know what the problem is.. since everything else seems to work fine [10:34] maybe you are connected directly? [10:35] indus: reinstall what? [10:35] staticRails: ubuntu [10:35] moymoy: Thanks anyway for trying; I'm going to register on the forums and post my question there. [10:35] staticRails: but nvm, try booting normally and network should work,its not depending on GUI [10:36] staticRails: why dont you try failsafe terminal then? [10:36] indus: reinstall a fresh ubuntu??? [10:36] indus: i used it.. i don't have any connection in that. [10:36] so how do I get a list of the roots used by apt-get autoremove? deborphan -a is close, but seems to treat suggests and recommends identically. [10:36] staticRails: you said x works with failsafe,then shouldnt you be able to install packages [10:36] (either gui or cli is fine) [10:36] indus: i thought on a standard ubuntu installation, the networking is handled by GNOME, so one has to at least log into a gnome session to get networking ready [10:37] phishie: grawity: yes, should be that, but in this tutorial https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverguide/C/dns-configuration.html , they have 192.168.1.10 as IP for their server, so what do I set for it if I havent a such address? [10:37] moymoy: nope [10:37] indus: there is no connection in failsafe. [10:37] staticRails: hmm [10:37] moymoy: I haven't used them, but I'm pretty sure networkmanager has a cli interface too [10:37] moymoy: networking is a service started on boot time === abc_ is now known as Guest45878 [10:37] moymoy: gui makes it easy to configure of course, imagine entering ip addresses without a gui :) [10:38] indus: when boot up, ping'ing google results in the host not resolving (before i log in to GNOME) .. but now i have my configuration in my rc.local file === c is now known as charitwo [10:38] Hey, I'm using BitlBee, yet the init script isn't starting it as the bitlbee user [10:39] moymoy: hmm you probably trying before networking has started,but yes probably that rc.local has some settings [10:39] moymoy: but i think that too is read before gdm loads up [10:39] need to install gcc java on ubuntu. [10:40] devil: sudo apt-get install gcc [10:40] ooh, apt has python bindings. Perhaps those can tell me. [10:40] devil: which java. there are quite a few [10:40] indus: yup, it is.. maybe it was just a kink left from my upgrade from 8.10.. but i did a fresh install with a 9.04 minimal CD and networking works after boot, even before i login through gdm .. but i edited my rc.local file because i wanted a static LAN ip [10:41] indus: i have downloded gcc C++ compiler . [10:41] moymoy: ya think about ubuntu servers, they dont have gdm :)networking depending on gui wil kill the whole concept [10:42] devil: ok and? [10:42] devil: why download when you can install from synaptic [10:42] devil: main menu> system>administration>synaptic [10:42] indus: its because i dnt have a hard disk and i am booting ubuntu via usb . [10:42] Hi.. why is my overal download speed in Transmission double that of the only torrent im downloading? The torrent shows 8 kB/s (only torrent) and the overall speed is 16 kB/s.. why so? [10:43] devil: ok and? [10:43] vise: overall=upload+download? just a guess [10:43] indus: hence i am looking forward to get all the necessary packages on the usb and install them each time i log on [10:44] audio not working help me plz [10:44] devil: hmm that way, check packages.ubuntu.com [10:44] Oops.. sorry.. So why is the torrent download speed less than the total download speed on Transmission? The only torrent i am downloading shows 8 kB/s and the overall is 16 kB/s.. Theres no upload taking place... [10:44] devil: you want to download the binaries then install on some other system? [10:44] vise: the overall accounts for protocol traffic also.. because your client has to communicate with the tracker as well as all of the peers you're connected to [10:45] i hate torrents, i get the worst speeds with them [10:45] audio promblem in 9.04 is a bug ? [10:45] vise: also.. what kind of internet do you have? is 16kb/s normal for you? [10:45] indus: hmm yes . [10:45] Where can I find a definition of the term 'host bridge'? (lspci uses it.) [10:45] !packages [10:45] You can browse and search for Ubuntu packages using !Synaptic, !Adept, "apt-cache search ", or online at http://packages.ubuntu.com - Ubuntu has about 20000 packages available, so please *search* for an official package before installing things in awkward ways! [10:45] moymoy, Okay, but in utorrent on windows, there is not much difference in the two rates... [10:45] moymoy, Yes 17 is normal... [10:46] How can I find out what user a daemon is running as? [10:46] devil: use the firefox ubuntu package search tool in location bar [10:46] indus: tell me.. i have downloded files .. a tar.bz2 and tar.gz can i use apt-get to install the package [10:46] vise: utorrent is probably much better at handling connections.. not that transmission isn't a great client also.. i personally use Deluge, and it maxes out my bandwidth [10:46] gsnedders: "ps u" [10:46] moymoy, Il try Deluge... [10:47] moymoy: what is ur opinion on ktorrent? [10:47] devil: nope apt get is only for deb files but no problem, you can install tar files from the system by untarring them [10:47] indus: always maxes out my bandwidth =] .. even if there're like 5 seeds, within those 5 seeds lurks some kind soul that has an upload rate of 70kb/s [10:47] devil: umm i mean [10:47] moymoy, What speed do you get.. just curious.. === ogra_ is now known as ogra [10:47] vise: 110-140kb/s [10:47] moymoy: actually, i have tried last 10 years and still dont know how to use a torrent [10:48] moymoy, Ah good.. I must upgrade this ** connection.. :) [10:48] I'm running Ubuntu 9.04 on my Eee 901. I installed a PPA for Blueman. Then the package manager did a little wierd (Synaptic didn't want to start, the update manager didn't want to install updates) so I rebooted Ubuntu. And now X doesn't want to start :(. And there is nothing wierd in /var/log/Xorg.0.log [10:48] Nameless_au: ktorrent is a good client.. and has lots of features(that i don't use) so that's why i went with Deluge... (plus kde apps look bad on gnome) [10:48] how could I see why X isn't starting? [10:48] devil: tar xzvf for gz extentions [10:49] anybody> i have a file... file A contains 1 2 3 4 5 then file B contains 1 2 3 4 5 6 i want to compare file A and B then the difference will be outputted to file C [10:49] indus: ok ill try [10:49] indus: tar xvf is enough, tar autodetects everything now. [10:49] pinoyskull: "diff fileA fileB > fileC" ? [10:49] grawity: ok cool, when did that happen [10:49] indus: long ago [10:49] grawity: hmmm, that simple? [10:49] ill try that [10:49] Cybertinus: have you tried reconfiguring X? .. sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [10:50] vise: what kind of connection do you have? dialup? [10:50] moymoy: running that now [10:51] devil: ok so you got that? [10:51] grawity: is there a way to sanitize diff output? like removing the codes [10:51] indus: so many great torrent guides out there.. [10:51] Cybertinus: check /var/log/Xorg.log [10:51] indus: i gave the comm tar xf .tar it isnt ble to find the file [10:52] indus: he said nothing weird showed up in there === lewilew is now known as pbx [10:52] moymoy: huh what? who said?

[11:12] devil: and .tar.bz2 archives have to be uncompressed with tar xvf [11:12] mobi-sheep: should not [11:12] indus: yes but no..!!

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [11:14] Ah i see thanks. [11:14] moymoy ok thanks [11:15] grawity: so will after uncompressing the installation work? itwas much easier in windows..!!! [11:15] * grawity sighs and leaves. [11:15] Cybertinus: PM me [11:15] moymoy: ok [11:15] devil: what are you trying to install ? [11:15] Well, I've installed ubuntu then vista.. all that has happened.. and i dont know how to figure out where the vista partition is on my drive so I can add it to the grub. I remember doing it off a live cd with some utility though having problems with my dvd drive at the moment. [11:16] Blindblade: err, does that mean you can still boot into ubuntu but not vista? [11:16] Blindblade, you installed ubuntu then vista? [11:16] Blindblade: just look at « sudo fdisk -l » output (or paste it in pastebin) [11:16] Blindblade: if you can still get into ubuntu you should be able to just edit grub's menu.lst from there === LioTheSurfer is now known as yoman [11:16] erUSUL: i wish to install java and c++ COMPILERS using usb ... [11:16] Blindblade: (it's harder if vista boots but ubuntu does not) === fatihgnc is now known as komuthan [11:16] moymoy how to install icons i downloaded [11:17] yes oldude67 and mzz [11:17] devil: using usb ? in a computer without internet conection ?

I have one problem. When my Ubuntu is starting, I get some error msgs saying that X server already started on screen :0 and it tries then screen :1. That happens every time I turn my computer on. Anybody can help me with this one? [11:19] yoman: you probably have not selected the device. Look in the upper right hand corner of the window [11:19] And yes, when I login, it says that my screen isn`t composited... [11:19] * mzz is currently in the process of proving synaptic is not idiot-proof: marking a bazillion packages "Automatically installed" is pretty glacial [11:19] mzz: hi! [11:19] :) [11:20] mzz: what? [11:20] Milos: are you actually running two servers [11:20] Milos: (check in top or system-monitor or something) [11:20] hi [11:21] mzz: Yes, but how can I fix that so next time I start my computer it starts only one instance? [11:21] jrib: trying to accomplish the equivalent of a gentoo "world file": a list of everything I've explicitly installed. Unfortunately it looks like the entire base system was explicitly installed, so I'm throwing out all "explicitly installed" marks and starting over [11:21] Milos: well, if you really *are* running two servers you should figure out where they're both starting from. [11:21] erUSUL that file name is Black_Mac_Icons_by_Jameshardy88.gz [11:21] Milos: did you do anything unusual that might explain why you're getting two of them? [11:22] mzz: erm, ok. Why don't you just subtract all of the dependencies of ubuntu-desktop from your list? [11:22] jrib: why is that easier and how do I do it? [11:22] mzz: nothing but starting Ubuntu in live mode(from a install CD) [11:22] Milos: you mean you're currently booted off a livecd, not an installed system? [11:23] mzz: apt will probably tell you you don't need stuff because you didn't explicitly install it when you actually do need it; don't know offhand [11:23] Nope, now I`m on system(HDD). But this problem started to happen after I logged in with live CD [11:23] jrib: basically if deborphan -a actually worked I'd use that, but it seems to get "Recommends" and "Suggests" mixed up [11:23] can you get help here even if you run eeebuntu? [11:24] jrib: so it misses things like mercurial which I explicitly installed) which has a dependency loop with mercurial-common [11:24] can anyone tell me what ubuntu feisty is? === Rob83 is now known as RobRokken [11:24] L33tHaxor666: an oldish version of ubuntu [11:24] codename for a version [11:24] oh [11:24] !feisty | L33tHaxor666 [11:24] L33tHaxor666: Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) was the sixth release of Ubuntu.

[11:25] holy crap theres a lot of people in here [11:25] mzz: never mind, you have a different purpose right? [11:25] jrib: I want a list of its roots, basically. [11:25] hello btw :) [11:25] jrib: unfortunately deborphan does not seem to use the same criteria autoremove uses. [11:25] mzz: ok, I can think of one way to get the list: from a pristine new install [11:25] henke123, not if you dont ask, but is there not a channel for eeebuntu? [11:26] Any of you recording using Reaper? [11:26] jrib: I'm just doing it the other way around now: mark everything auto-installed, then mark stuff manually installed until autoremove doesn't want to remove anything. [11:26] jrib: shouldn't be too hard. === yofel_ is now known as yofel [11:26] mzz: nope, not too hard, but backup what you change at least in case I am correct about my warning above [11:26] jrib: which one? [11:27] mzz: apt will probably tell you you don't need stuff because you didn't explicitly install it when you actually do need it; don't know offhand [11:27] Got wubi fired up right now :) [11:27] jrib: I'll sanitycheck its decisions, don't worry. And even if I screw up: this is a scratch install. [11:27] i cant get my wireless to work with my eeebuntu, i use wicd manager and i can see my network but i cant connect to it. It fails all the time, anyone has any ideas? === h2l29 is now known as H2L29 [11:28] mzz: out of curiousity what purpose does this serve? [11:28] hi [11:28] jrib: I want a list of stuff I've manually installed for easier maintenance (both so I can install the same stuff on other systems and so I know what to remove to reclaim disk space) [11:28] hi, i have the /var/www of my jaunty server mountet on my intrepid desktop via sshfs. in the intrepid machine, nautilus shows 0b free space in the folder and its subfolders, and when i try to copy files there, i get an error. i can still "copy" files by doing "touch ./destination" and "cat /source/file > ./destination". how can i fix that error? [11:30] damnit, my cd drive is dead, is there a way to install 64studio without a dvd ? [11:30] I liked what I've seen with the live cd [11:31] indus: [11:31] r u there?

[11:33] RobRokken: you need a new cd drive anyway :P [11:33] staticRails: you have internet on that pc? good [11:33] Milos: well, obviously the login manager is going to start *one* server. I'd be more interested in what's starting the other (unless it's starting two...) [11:33] hahah! yeah, i guess, i should stop being lazy and go buy a damn dvd drive right!! Time I upgrade to dvd anyway ;) [11:34] indus: I issued the command : "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" [11:34] and [11:34] mzz: in system monitor I see only one Xorg process [11:35] indus: about 6 windows with ok button. all of them was fro keyboard setting [11:35] and one x session manager [11:36] staticRails: didnt get anything to configure display? hmm i think they changed somethings in that command [11:36] indus: after finishing: "xserver-xorg postinst warning: overwriting possibliy customised configuration file backup in /etc/X11/xorg.conf....."

The reason I dont want to install this version is It completely shortcircuits the package manager which means that you will have to install future updates independently of the rest of the system. also When Ubuntu gets upgraded, it's very likely this firefox installation will stop working as it depends on libraries that will have changed version.

If you insist on compiling: apt-cache search libcurl, the relevant -dev package should be listed. [12:15] bazhang: safemoe is without X?

My xlock program seems to have disappeared, and xlockmore is certainly not it [13:26] my webcam is not recognized by amsn [13:26] Yeah, aMSN hasn't been working too well for me [13:26] bin42y [13:26] so i was lookign for some alternatives [13:26] bin42y i'll try google tab again [13:26] i'm looking for someone who had install Heroes III on his computer, can you help me ? [13:26] Schizoid: what is it? a screensaver? [13:27] Slart it just blanks X and then you have to enter a password to get back in. xlockmore does the same thing, it just isn't the same as whatever was originally installed with xubuntu [13:27] i have no idea where it went [13:28] Schizoid: can't really help you with that.. never really messed with that part of xubuntu [13:28] yeah, no worries. THank you [13:28] ufd: ok, well i was going to get you to delete that file, let me turn compiz on and see if it crashes for me [13:28] I'm installing ubuntu, should I install 32-bit or 64 ( i have used it for some time)? [13:28] hey all ... what permission code would this be... (i.e. 755) -rwxrwxrwt [13:29] tumii66: how much memory do you have? [13:29] Slart: 2GB [13:29] tumii66: I would go with 32-bit then [13:29] Slart: okay :) thanks [13:29] tumii66: you're welcome [13:29] how do I add a lang to gedit? [13:30] how do I add a lang to gedit for syntax hilighting? [13:30] tumii66: there are no downsides on 64bit you now [13:30] MaT-dg: does 64-bit run 32-bit software (ex. after compiling)? [13:31] tumii66: yes, I've yet have to see the first program that doesn't run here [13:31] ufd: ? [13:31] tumii66: yes, it does... the problem is that if you want to run 32bit firefox, for example, you need 32bit versions of all the libraries that firefox uses [13:32] Slart: can I install 32-bit software (ex. Firefox) from command line? (is there such a command 'sudo apt-get install firefox-32bit' or so)? [13:32] tumii66: the only software I've run into that didn't work on 64bit was a firefox plugin for doing my taxes online.. that was 32bit only, proprietary and very very annoying.. so it might not be a loss after all [13:32] Slart, so a simple apt-get firefox wouldnt work? [13:32] Slart: tumii66: but why should you want to run 32bit FF when there is a native 64bit client wich is installed by default. There is no 32bit FF on a fresh ubuntu 64bit install [13:32] !find xflock4 [13:32] tumii66: not that easy.. no [13:32] File xflock4 found in xfce4-utils [13:33] Slart, then i just get 32-bit :p [13:33] MaT-dg: to run my annoying 32 bit plugin so I can do my taxes online? =) [13:33] tumii66: the advantages of 64bit are limited to some special cases.. the disadvantages are almost even more limited [13:34] Slart: Okay [13:34] tumii66: go with 32-bit now and when you reinstall ubuntu 10.4 you can give 64bit a try =) [13:35] Slart: ah well, I have to use windows and IE to do my taxes online, but that doesn't stop me from using ubuntu 64 bot for everything else [13:35] Slart: why 10.4? o.O [13:35] oldude67: I don't understand.. you mean to install the 32bit version of firefox? if you run apt-get on a 64bit system it will install the 64 bit version [13:35] Slart: I mean, why wait so long? [13:35] On Windows, I use WinDjView for viewing djvu files. It allows creating bookmarks to different views of the document, so I can flip between the views quickly. Is there a viewer with similar capabilities for Ubuntu? (It would be best if there were something that can do this for PDFs as well!) [13:36] tumii66: hehe.. no special reason.. I usually reinstall every third ubuntu version or so.. then upgrade in between [13:36] Slart: okay lol [13:36] Is there some sort of graphical tool to modify a keyboard layout? [13:36] MaT-dg: I use a 32-bit vm myself.. haven't used 32bit firefox since adobe started releasing flash for 64bit [13:37] djvulibre? [13:37] xmodmap, JGodbout [13:37] JGodbout: oh.. sorry.. graphical.. no idea then [13:37] Slart: actually I doubt that when a government doesn't have 64bit support today they will have it in 2010 [13:37] MaT-dg: true.. [13:37] Meh, I will try that anyway [13:37] Who needs a GUI? Not me. [13:38] staticRails: hi any luck? [13:39] mmm 10.04 [13:39] cant wait for that beauty [13:40] what special will 10.04 be ? [13:40] in the future you will need a gui to get into not having a gui :D :O [13:40] well its four digit number :) [13:40] 1 0 0 4 [13:40] indus, lo [13:40] lol [13:40] i need gmcs.

[13:42] indus: like a 64bit netook remix [13:43] ActionParsnip: isnt there a unr 64 available?

[13:45] ActionParsnip: hmm well,not sure what you want to do here,you want to use the netbook remix kernel and compile for your system? then add the frontend? [13:45] indus: thats what i thought, oh well === brian_ is now known as van [13:46] ActionParsnip: 64 bit netbooks exist, there rare, but I know someone who has one [13:46] what's happened to xorg.conf ? what file is being used instead, please? [13:46] whenever i open any drives or removeable media, ubuntu creates a shortcut for it on desktop. How can i make it off? [13:46] LOL @ online java based ms office proficiency test telling my netbook doesnt meet it's requirements...lol firefox 3 not supported(it says i need firefox 2+), i dont have ssl(wtf?) but ammusingly my resolution which is below there requirements, gets the thumbs up! :/ [13:47] where do I go to point out that packages should have regular merges? [13:47] spectacular, ubuntu is nowadays made to run without a xorg.conf [13:48] gartral: what do you mean exactly? [13:49] jrib: a dauntingly HUGE number of games in repos arn't supported by their respective dev teams anymore... three that i can name Ottomh are Wormux, Hedgewars, and warzone2100... NONE of these will connect too the networked game servers because the repo versions are Out-Of-Date [13:50] Supersaiyan_IV, i just installed ubuntu 9.x on two machines -- an oldish dell latitude laptop, and a brand-new eee pc. Both seem to work very nicely, including having working wireless which i didnt have back when i was in debian. one problem that i find is that when i try to watch video in youtube in firefox, it's very very slow and jumpy and kinda freezes the browser/computer a bit. googling, they suggest changing something in the xorg.conf file [13:50] but there's nothing in it at all.

What am I doing wrong. It puts one line in the file and then the rest to the console. grep -r -i repair / > /tmp/foo [14:34] LordLandon: The number. [14:34] sonypaulpeter, first comment out the debian repos, and try again; with that many possible conflict vectors you'll need to gradually weed it out [14:35] all of them? [14:35] Supersaiyan_IV, ok i'll work on the eeepc. you think i should give up on the dell? [14:35] c.omega.bg [14:35] hello gurus [14:35] blind|melon|chit: then remove the iced tea plugin/also i think there is a setting in firefox to change it [14:35] sonypaulpeter, the debian ones? there are only two or so that I can see [14:35] zenlunatic: I'm assuming Xen differs from regular virtualization solutions....

[14:36] LordLandon: There's no other way? [14:36] spectacular, the gfx card has completely phased out driver support, and the driver you have now gives you 3d rendering and dri for video playback, which is excellent as it is [14:36] bazhang, should i remove them all?

[14:37] sonypaulpeter, you can open the list with gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and place a # in front of the lenny/debian repos lines, then save and exit; sudo apt-get update and try again to install nautilus [14:37] jrib: ok, ty [14:38] wanted to know if anyone used moblock or knew how to change which lists you use post install, i know there was that initial selection, but now i can't modify. [14:38] richardcavell: an easier way is not changing the UID.

All the other plugins in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins are symbolic links [14:50] sonypaulpeter, from Home Folder under Places Menu --> easytag app opens? [14:50] richardcavell: try doing it on a user that isn't logged in. [14:50] blind|melon|chit: no dont copy directly [14:50] LordLandon: I only have two - myself and root. How do I run it when I'm not logged in? [14:50] blind|melon|chit: use the symlink [14:50] richardcavell: make another user? Log in as root? [14:51] bazhang, yea it is. [14:51] LordLandon: How do I log in as root when I don't know the password? Ubuntu scrambles the root password by default [14:51] Why does grep throw so many permission denies and recursive errors when it's seaching? [14:51] richardcavell: reset the password to something?

[14:52] LordLandon: don't advise users how to reduce their system security [14:52] richardcavell: and sudo passwd -l after you're done, to disable the account again. [14:52] Sirisian|Work: pastebin [14:52] bazhang, http://paste.ubuntu.com/218955/ [14:52] ActionParsnip: see previous line [14:52] LordLandon: just use sudo -i [14:53] LordLandon: significantly quicker and easier [14:53] ActionParsnip: he wants to change the uid of his account... [14:53] ActionParsnip: so he has to not be logged into it [14:53] sonypaulpeter, why or when did you uninstall nautilus [14:53] LordLandon: i'd do it in a root recovery console [14:53] LordLandon: and ActionParsnip: I'm thinking I should create a new user, restart and log in as that, and that sudo from that new account [14:54] ActionParsnip: Do you mean the bottom option on the menu.lst screen? [14:54] bazhang, i didnt uninstall. just upgraded when prompted to [14:54] bazhang. just few mins [14:54] someone say hello to me so i can test notification..... having issues tryong to work them out :) one or two is all i need [14:54] ugliefrog: Hello [14:54] does anyone know of a good boot disk for partitioning? [14:54] richardcavell: more like 1) create new user 2) add to sudo 3) log out 4) log in as new user 5) do uid thing [14:54] hello ugliefrog [14:54] jrib, http://pastebin.com/m6c63874d [14:55] richardcavell: whatever line recovery mode is on, then select root [14:55] LordLandon: I like parsnip's idea more [14:55] thanks but no luck....back to the forums thanks [14:55] Hi, I'm fed up with Vuze and have installed Transmission, but I was in the middle of a large torrent download.

[14:56] LordLandon: I don't think I have a choice. I can't be logged in when I run it [14:56] Sirisian|Work: just don't grep sys [14:56] MidnightDevil: rdesktop [14:56] bazhang, is there any way to fix this? [14:56] richardcavell: you have three choices [14:56] yea but thats doesnt show a server list in a centralized way [14:56] richardcavell: 1) login as root 2) login as different sudoer 3) reboot into recovery console [14:56] MidnightDevil: i don't know of one that can connect to multiple servers like royal ts [14:56] Sirisian|Work: or ignore the errors since it doesn't matter anyway [14:57] s/error/warning [14:57] MidnightDevil: but rdesktop can be used to connect to rdp services [14:57] sonypaulpeter, I cannot imagine what would remove nautilus during an upgrade [14:57] MidnightDevil: freenx, tightvnc [14:57] jrib, Is there a way to output the output to one folder and the error output to dev null? [14:57] khelvan: /home/yourusername/.azureus/torrents [14:57] LordLandon: and ActionParsnip: Recovery console seems the most elegant way. I'm actually putting together instructions for Ubuntu newbies, so it needs to be idiotproof [14:57] Sirisian|Work: command > stdout 2> stderr [14:57] oh cool thanks [14:57] bazhang, its ok. i ll try some way out. thanks for your time [14:57] richardcavell: O.o what ubuntu newbies need to change their uid? [14:58] LordLandon: I maintain instructions for setting up Ubuntu on Macs. Many Mac owners try to keep OS X. Their userid on OS X is often 500, while on Ubuntu it's 1000. They have to change their userid to access their home partition on OS X. [14:58] LordLandon: was kinda thinking that. ive never had to do it [14:58] bye all [14:59] richardcavell: hmm o.O [14:59] LordLandon: They have to do it or else they can't access their files on the OS X partition.

[15:02] The 999 appeared after I did sudo usermod -u 999 richard [15:02] richardcavell: that your uid is 999 [15:02] Hi. Can anyone help me get my sound back? I've just done a kernel upgrade and all my sound has gone!

Mine cannot display resolution above 800x600 in Jaunty. I faced this kind of problem back then on Feisty and solved it. But I can't remember the workaround. I think it's related to xorg.conf setting? I searched around the forum and didn't find any clue. [15:19] vadi: hmm === Guest92927 is now known as whore [15:19] but what is then the advantage of the Long Time Support then? [15:20] omar: Your computer can handle the current distro, which is 9.04. You can choose 32 or 64 bit. [15:20] Indus: Its not possible to install drivers from Via for sound, like installing in windows [15:20] omar: I'm using the plain distro on a laptop and it works fine. === whore is now known as who [15:20] vadi: no need of installing anything, its already done via some modules [15:20] richardcavell, its possible for exemple to install ubuntu on the external hdd N [15:20] alright... I installed a new sound card today... and I went into BIOS disabled the internl, came back into Ubuntu annnd the volume control applet in gnome panel has gone AWOL [15:20] vadi: dont try installing any 'driver' in ubuntu> its all handled auto [15:21] omar: Yes, you can install Ubuntu on an external HDD [15:21] omar: I agree with richardcavell. 9 would work fine. [15:21] vadi: and VIA definitely has drivers loaded already its open source [15:21] Indus: I didn't install anything till now [15:21] vadi: dont ,just tell me what motherboard is it [15:21] max_klemen, then that gives you the best opportunity to test an upgrade before distributing to many machines. LTS means that patches will be delivered for 3 years after the initial release. You'll be able to use version 8.04 until april 2011 with all updates. The alternative is to do a full upgrade every 6 months to a newer version. [15:21] Anyone know where Evolution stores its data? I've tried deleting .evoution in my home folder? [15:22] vadi: you do hear sound dont you? [15:22] richardcavell, I have do that in my desktop but the problem my desktop always need external hdd to load grub [15:22] legend2440, before jaunty, I saw a command in system, prefs, removable drives and media, there used to be a storage tab and an option for blank cd or blank dvd but it's gone in jaunty now. I still have it my upgraded machine from mythbuntu hardy heron. it's /usr/lib/thunar-volman/thunar-volman-settings but a brand new jaunty install doesn't have this program so I am not sure where brasero has this setting checked. brasero opens a data cd [15:22] project automatically when I insert a blank cd and I don't want that.

[15:25] Goldy`: No it's not [15:25] mazda01: your usining thunar? [15:25] richardcavell, it isn't? so you're saying it is (as stable/more stable)? [15:26] LordLandon: it's mounted as "media/OS X" [15:26] Goldy`: Solid as a rock for me [15:26] Other users seem to say the same [15:26] hello everyone [15:26] richardcavell, right now I have windiows installed in my laptop I would like to install ubuntu on my external hdd , I am already dod that in my desktop I cannot boot windows without the external HDD because the desktop need external hdd to load grub then chose the system ubunto or windows [15:26] Goldy`: yes its not as stable as 8.04 [15:26] i am on jaunty [15:26] indus: http://imagebin.org/55999 [15:26] Goldy`: for me atleast [15:26] richardcavell, I afriad same problem being happen in my laptop [15:26] omar: sounds like you want to install grub on your internal hard disk [15:26] Would screen artifacts be an indication of hardware incompatability?? [15:27] vadi: play test [15:27] my question is, IN COMPARISON, is a user looking for stability better off using, say, 8.04 than 9.04? [15:27] Probably right? [15:27] richardcavell, yes [15:27] vadi: hear? [15:27] anyone have a music player they like better than rhythmbox? (and I don't mean xmms or any of those type things) [15:27] richardcavell, but windows [15:27] omar: So go ahead and do that. It's not a problem [15:27] trae: try banshee [15:27] GRUB can load Windows [15:27] !info banshee [15:27] indus: nothing [15:27] banshee (source: banshee): Media Management and Playback application. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.4.3-3ubuntu2 (jaunty), package size 2672 kB, installed size 9084 kB [15:27] richardcavell, is there some version for windows ? [15:27] Damn onboard graphics, now I have to install a perfectly nice 8400GS in a Telesales machine.. [15:27] omar: Normal GRUB can load Windows [15:27] vadi: check volume icon on panel is not muted [15:27] touchpad problem anyone there to help [15:27] !grub [15:27] GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [15:28] indus, kk [15:28] seriously what does ubuntu have better than debian? I installed both and they have the same application, same packages possible to get, and debian allow for easier work with multi-architecture (arm and such) [15:28] indus: no i set it for 100 [15:28] richardcavell, yes but I have grub installed on my external hdd that I have installed ubuntu , I cannot load windows without connecting the external hdd on my desktop [15:28] indus: can you connect my desktop and check what is the problem [15:28] Dunge: They are pretty similar. Not much point in having both installed. [15:28] indus: plz [15:28] vadi: u sure your sound jacks are not connected to headphone etc [15:28] legend2440, mythbuntu hardy heron did. [15:28] Dunge: Ubuntu has regular release cycle and the loss of other architectures might be seen as a good thing. [15:28] Dunge, community support and ubuntu actively develops on user interface [15:29] indus, I used musikcube on windows and it's nice and minimalistic [15:29] vadi: how do i connect to your desktop [15:29] I'll think about it [15:29] indus: if i log in to windows i hear sound so sound jack is not a problem [15:29] omar: What I'm saying is you want to install grub to your internal hard disk and then you won't have that problem [15:29] vadi: ok [15:29] re [15:29] is there a utility to move a program window from one monitor to the other in a dual monitor setup? [15:29] vadi:What sound card you have? [15:29] indus: like team viewer in windows doesn't exsist any software [15:29] omar: Or what you could do is change your BIOS boot order so that it auto boots from external hard disk if present, then internal hard disk. And reinstall Windows boot loader. === meteor`` is now known as StormAtRest [15:30] indus: on board sound card - from via [15:30] richardcavell, when I install grub on my internal hdd I am never need to connect external hdd to my desktop for load windows === Odin is now known as Guest83745 [15:30] vadi: i think johane asked it [15:30] How can I permanently change the ssh login message? (such that it isn't reset after a reboot) ?? [15:30] vadi:Means you habe big problems:P [15:30] vadi: is this a laptop or desktop? [15:30] ok i gtg cu in 30 min [15:30] indus:desktop [15:30] Wazzzaaa: the motd? [15:30] linux has some problems with via [15:30] legend2440, I said I upgraded from mythbuntu hardy heron to jaunty ubuntu. the remenants of mythbuntu stuff must still be installed and upgraded. the box I am having the issue on is a fresh install of jaunty so no thunar. i want to get that darn brasero popup again when I insert a blank cd-r but instead it automagically opens a data cd project. i have to close brasero everytime I insert a blank cd-r and I don't want to have to do that. ge [15:30] t it? [15:30] gartral: desktop [15:31] LordLandon: motd resets after reboot [15:31] vadi: i have to go, gartral might help [15:31] good luck and bye all [15:31] indus: thanks [15:31] omar: Correct. But I reckon a better option is to alter your BIOS boot order. [15:31] vadi: do you have both a PCI and an intergrated card? [15:31] have anyone installed eurotalk [15:31] Wazzzaaa: change /etc/motd.tail [15:32] gartral: no only intergrated [15:32] richardcavell, when I disconnect my E Hdd I have grub error show up so I need to connect E hdd to reload the desktop then full grub menu show up to chose the system [15:32] Wazzzaaa: there's a script that runs on boot that rewrites /etc/motd [15:32] gartral: but i have tv turner card (MSI) [15:32] thnx LordLandon, you know what script? Or where the script is triggered? === who is now known as nobody [15:32] vadi: does said tv tuner have a built-in sound card? [15:32] Wazzzaaa: uhh === nobody is now known as Guest85461 [15:33] richardcavell, but this will not apply when I desconnect the HDD should load the windows directly without showing up any error , [15:33] Wazzzaaa: grep motd /etc/init.d/* [15:33] gartral: if i plug directly to tv card when i play tv i can hear [15:33] yeah, thnx LordLandon [15:33] found it [15:34] vadi: so it does have a sound jack on the card? [15:34] gartral: yes [15:34] omar: Your best option is to reinstall the Windows boot loader then alter your BIOS options so that it will boot from external hard disk before internal hard disk [15:34] coolbhavi: you there [15:34] vadi: with the headphones still in said card, can you hear any music player or play youtube vids and hear them? [15:35] richardcavell, I will trying thank you [15:35] omar: good luck due [15:35] dude [15:35] hemanth, yes [15:35] gartral: i cannot hear anything from youtube or anything === Odin is now known as Guest90820 [15:35] vadi: from either port? [15:36] LordLandon: I have a problem now mate. [15:36] wait i will check [15:36] gartral: wait i will check please [15:36] richardcavell: sup? [15:36] no prob vadi :) [15:36] gartral: i need to reboot brb back in 2 mins [15:37] LordLandon: I've successfully altered my group id and user id to match that of my OS X partition. And when I type 'ls -l' on the OS X partition it gives me 'richard richard' for owner and group for all the regular files. But I still can't cd into the home directory [15:37] how do I cahnge the default runlevel? I've tried creating a /etc/inittab with content 'id:3:initdefault:' (as the upstart FAQ advises) but it still boots in runlevel 5. Do I need to run any command after creating /etc/inittab ? [15:37] richardcavell: what does it say? [15:37] vadi: I'll be timing you ;) [15:37] Permission denied [15:37] pgquiles: why do you want to change it? And why is it booting to 5? 2 is default [15:37] richardcavell: did you give me the output of 'mount' for that partition? [15:37] have anyone installed eurotalk [15:37] is it possible to inject a cd from the commandline, as opposed to just ejecting it? [15:38] LordLandon: What do you want me to type at command line? [15:38] richardcavell: 'mount' [15:38] erisol: isn't there a switch for eject? [15:38] richardcavell: also ls -ld /media/OS\ X [15:38] !cups [15:38] Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows [15:38] jrib: I want to boot in console, not X [15:38] richardcavell: and ls -ld [your home dir that you can't cd to] [15:39] Slart, oh wait, I think there is [15:39] -t [15:39] pgquiles: runlevels 2-5 are identical by default in ubuntu/debian though [15:39] LordLandon: Hang on let me reboot cos it seems to fix things === Odin is now known as Guest10430 [15:40] is there a way to just cat the man page as opposed to using the man viewer? === disco_stuN800 is now known as disco_stu === billing is now known as sinichi [15:41] jrib: huh? a few years ago, 2 meant multiuser without network, 3 multiuser with network, 4 was unused and 5 was multiuser with network and X :-? [15:41] pgquiles: not in debian [15:42] pgquiles: anyway, do you want to boot to "no X" permanently? [15:42] LordLandon: I'm back [15:42] jrib: es [15:42] jrib: yes [15:42] pgquiles: just stop the gdm service from starting on runlevel 2 [15:42] Anyone else have a G1 and is on irc with it right now? [15:43] pgquiles: I'm assuming you made a mistake before when you said your machine is booting to runlevel 5 and that it actually boots to 2 [15:43] jrib: how do I do that? remove execute permissions from /etc/rc2.d/gdm ? === Odin is now known as Guest52848 [15:43] LordLandon: Okay, rebooting fixed everything, Lord. It works like a charm now. I can access my OS X directory from within Ubuntu. [15:43] pgquiles: you can use sysv-rc-conf [15:43] LordLandon: For the record, (and cos I know this channel's being logged) I'll tell you the correct commands [15:43] sudo groupmod -g 501 richard [15:44] jrib: yes, it's booting on runlevel 2. Back in the time, when I started using Debian (about 10 years ago :-) ), "boot with X" was runlevel 5 [15:44] that's why I assumed I was booting in runlevel 5 [15:44] (where 501 is the group on my OS X partition and richard is my Ubuntu username [15:44] and sudo usermod -u 501 -g 501 richard [15:44] LordLandon: simple as that. But you have to reboot [15:44] pgquiles: oh. Since I've used debian (much more recently, their policy has been to make 2-5 identical). I didn't know that it used to be different [15:45] richardcavell: more like log in and out. [15:45] greetings [15:45] LordLandon: Well I don't have a login window so for me it's reboot [15:45] erisol: man foobar | col -b [15:45] does anyone know how to mount a win2k8 share from the command line? I want to make a hdd dump via "dd" over the network [15:45] richardcavell: well, as long as it works for you, and you're happy. [15:45] vadi: I see your back :) [15:45] gartral: I removed the Tv card [15:45] LordLandon: You're not patronising me are you :) [15:46] vadi: ......... why? [15:46] jrib: thank you [15:46] richardcavell: q= [15:46] LordLandon: Only remaining issue is that usermod -u changes ownership of all files in home directory, but it doesn't change group. Still, that doesn't affect whether I can open them [15:46] gartral: to fix this sound problem. [15:46] pgquiles: no problem [15:46] do we know is winetrincks? [15:47] jrib, thanks [15:47] vadi: well you completely botched the test i wanted you to do... [15:47] richardcavell: easy to fix, if you want. [15:47] gartral: oh no problem i can put it back [15:47] LordLandon: I'm thinking chgrp ~ -R richard [15:47] is that right? [15:47] richardcavell: except the ~ goes at the end. [15:47] gartral: brb [15:47] I have a router that servers about 700 clients. Is there a more user friendly tool than tcpdump to analyze netowrk traffic? E.g. finding out who manged to get the virus that booms out spam endlessly [15:48] hi everyone! im using jaunty and when i drag & drop a file into a folder on the destop, this file doesn't disappear from desktop.. anybody knows how to change this? gracias [15:48] LordLandon: Yep. They're all mine now! [15:48] benedikt: wireshark maybe? [15:48] richardcavell: (= [15:48] jrib: preferrably gui-less.. [15:49] LordLandon: And I can operate the OS X partition as easily as the Ubuntu partition now [15:49] richardcavell: k (= [15:49] hello. how do I downgrade to the latest system upgrade [15:50] benedikt: only know of tcpdump... tshark turns up in google but I've never used it [15:50] LordLandon: Have you seen my Ubuntu installation instructions for n00bs? It's here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1192296 [15:50] ubuntu made an update of the system, and now my development environment is crashing. [15:50] cambazz: you can't, afaik [15:50] LordLandon: For Intel Mac owners. I want it to be bullet-proof, so I need to think long and hard about what I write there. [15:50] richardcavell: i'm at work mate. [15:50] Slart: how can I know what was changed in the latest upgrade [15:50] tl;dr; [15:51] cambazz: start with what's crashing [15:51] cambazz: I think apt has a log somewhere in /var/log, but I'm not sure [15:51] LordLandon: That's okay. I have the instructions here and I'll add them to my instructions now. [15:51] richardcavell: k [15:52] Gartral: I am back with TV card [15:52] LordLandon: Thanks for help. Ciao.

[16:16] FireVai: ah. That's no fun then. [16:16] jrib: gconf was the first problem... and I do agree with you that this pastebin doesn't have anything with that.

[16:17] vadi: yes, Im not going anywhere, you just need too have a little patience :) [16:17] Ignore my question - looks like it#s intended behaviour in Ubuntu. Will have to pursue with software vendor. [16:17] staticRails: here is what you have to do. Pick one problem. Pastebin relevant information (logs, error messages, etc.). Ask the channel your question on one line and link to the pastebin [16:17] ok well no worries.. i'm reinstalling in a cpl days.. so maybe that will fix it [16:17] jrib: thx [16:18] http://pastebin.com/f55324e87 [16:18] synaptic dont find swiftbox , do i need to update my reposities [16:18] ojii: hmm.. no luck so far.. one would think this would be easy [16:19] !player [16:19] Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS2 (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based).

I always have to manually enter nameservers in /etc/resolv.conf [16:19] anybody thr?? [16:19] it is really annoying because when I show up at a wifi network....I have to guess which is the AP or router which can do DNS for me. [16:19] Can anybody tell me how to set DPI while using KDE Environment [16:19] ? [16:19] exactly Slart... was a bit disappointed. i'd have expected something like: /bin/bash "/my/working/dir" [16:19] I mean in KDE env [16:20] I set desktop effects to None, and the screen goes completely black except for a small strip of color near the top [16:20] how can I recover my system now? [16:20] (tried rebooting, but it kept the settings) === ballzee is now known as Sinister [16:21] When I use kexec on 9.04, the network interfaces aren't detected. What the heck?!?!?!!? [16:21] anyone can help to reinstall the gconf? I issued the command "sudo apt-get install --reinstall gconf" and I received "E: couldn't find package gconf" [16:21] login in recovery mode [16:21] i mean boot [16:21] gartral: when i run this command (pkill pulseaudio; sleep 2; pulseaudio -vv) will it take some time to finish the process [16:21] then simply [16:21] type rm -rf .* [16:21] @jsteel i think /etc/network/interfaces is bypassed from 8.10 onwards [16:21] that will make settings to default [16:21] vadi: uhh.. no.. it *should* be near instentanious [16:22] !who | CodeFire [16:22] CodeFire: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [16:22] Supersaiyan_IV, i set up that compiz stuff like you said (on the eee) but it still didnt fix the firefox youtube problem. what else can i do? any way to be able to try the xorg.conf fix that i see when i google?

I just installed this tiny 3d game called "Trigger".. But when i start it from the console, it says that the X11 driver is not configured for opengl, and exits... any ideas? [16:23] CodeFire: It means your tab key on your keyboard... [16:23] vadi: ok, go ahead and kill that terminal window [16:23] hi CodeFire, I'd really appreciate that, thanks :) [16:23] anyone can help to reinstall the gconf? I issued the command "sudo apt-get install --reinstall gconf" and I received "E: couldn't find package gconf" [16:23] ojii, something like /bin/bash -c "cd /your/dir ; /bin/bash" should work [16:23] \commands [16:23] gartral: ok i did [16:24] \help [16:24] staticRails, gconf2? [16:24] Eloff, you can restore all display settings and others too by logging to root using recovery moe [16:24] Supersaiyan_IV, this isnt' just a little annoyance, youtube virtually does not work at all. it barely doesnt show anything and really screws up the sound [16:24] staticRails: why are you ignoring what I told you? Reinstalling gconf is unlikely to do anything [16:24] vadi: ok pkill pulseaudio and then pulseaudio -vv [16:24] ojii: it seems that doing "bash --noprofile --norc --login" will at least not change directory to your home folder but stay in the current one.. [16:24] staticRails: http://projects.gnome.org/gconf/ [16:24] I'm in recovery mode now [16:24] Eloff, and type rm -rf .* in terminal [16:24] bazhang: ya or every verstion. [16:24] does anybody use kexec on jaunty? [16:24] anybody knows what "X11 driver needs to be configured for openGL" means? [16:24] nick vic [16:24] Eloff, >> remember to put that "." [16:24] Eloff: be careful. That deletes ALL settings === Guest82599 is now known as vic [16:24] which is an SDL error [16:25] bazhang: the latest version. [16:25] that's maybe a little harsh for me === vic is now known as vic_____ [16:25] when i run pulseaudio -vv it stopped on I: module-suspend-on-idle.c: Sink auto_null idle for too long, suspending ... [16:25] !fixres > Eloff [16:25] Eloff, please see my private message [16:25] I just want to edit or remove the display settings file [16:25] staticRails, gconf2 is the package I am assuming [16:26] staticRails, unless you mean gconf-editor [16:26] Ah I think that will do the trick, thanks jrib [16:26] bazhang: gconf2 [16:26] so I finally upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10 last night [16:26] staticRails, so install it [16:26] and now going from 8.10 to 9.04 [16:27] thanks Slart and trashbarg, a combination of that worked [16:27] staticRails: Why do you need to reinstall gconf? Reinstalling things in Linux rarely changes things. [16:27] vadi: ok... that means the system cant find a driver... go into Applications>Administration>Hardware Drivers and see if anything comes up (you will see one for your gfz card maybe one for tv tuner, and shoulld be one for audio [16:27] curious to see if any of you guys encountered any issues with the upgrade process [16:27] Slart, trashbarg : /bin/bash -c "cd /home/jonas/django_projects/mysite ; bash --noprofile --norc --login" did the job [16:27] hello [16:27] ojii: ah.. nice.. [16:28] I've installed a bible study program called xiphos which installs bibles, commentaries, and other books as modules either in /home/"user"/.sword for a single user or in /usr/bin/sword for all users. The xiphos GUI provides the option to do either, but installing into /usr/bin requires root privileges, so the option is disabled unless you're running as root or other users are allowed write privileges to /usr/bin. How do I allow r [16:29] twit11: add sudo to the install script [16:29] how do i check for the dependencies of a package? [16:29] twig* [16:29] fccf: I have no idea how to do that. [16:29] dsdeiz: apt-cache show packagename or apt-cache depends packagename [16:29] dsdeiz - rdepends packagename [16:30] Hi [16:30] twig11: when installing xiphos, did you use an install script? [16:30] fccf: That is for reverse dependencies [16:30] gartral: in hardware drivers i see only my nvidia card [16:30] fccf: No. sudo apt-get install xiphos [16:30] what is the package called that has the function command 'locate'? [16:30] I need to patch something on this URL http://people.ubuntu.com/~apw/lp314928-jaunty/0001-UBUNTU-SAUCE-drm-i915-Set-up-an-MTRR-covering-the-GT.patch [16:30] Just don't know hat to do [16:30] Pici: u'r right [16:31] vadi: alright.... let me do some more reseach [16:31] Pici: nice thanks mate.. [16:31] aggie, what you trying to do? [16:31] gartral: ok i will wait [16:31] this is my /var/log/Xorg.0.log => http://pastebin.com/f165ba75f I have problem with my vga. I didn't have any problem with it till yesterday. but some changes broke it. [16:31] apw, Trying to fix a intel prob [16:31] http://www.ubuntugeek.com/intel-graphics-performance-guide-for-ubuntu-904-jaunty-users.html [16:32] yep i know the patch i ported it [16:32] this is my /var/log/Xorg.0.log => http://pastebin.com/f165ba75f I have problem with my vga. I didn't have any problem with it till yesterday. but some changes broke it. the vga is onboard and the MB is Intel dg31pr [16:32] apw, how do I aply it? [16:32] twig11: if you did that then it should have installed to /usr/bin .. if it ended up in ~/.sword, then I'm confused [16:32] aggie, which kernel do you ahv [16:32] want to apply it to [16:33] apw, Linux 2.6.30-020630rc2-generic [16:33] When I use kexec on jaunty, the network interfaces aren't detected. Does anybody use kexec on jaunty? [16:33] aggie, why that specific release? [16:33] vadi: go into your mixer and make sure the sound is up and your not piping through spdif [16:34] aggie, if you can run that one why not run the latest mainline kernel which would include the fix? [16:34] apw, that's what I installed [16:34] !info teatime [16:34] teatime (source: teatime): Gnome Panel applet to reminds you when your tea is ready. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.8.0-6 (jaunty), package size 404 kB, installed size 708 kB [16:34] aggie, thats == what ? [16:34] fccf: You install the book modules afterward from the app GUI. I do anyhow. Their documentation says they haven't implemented the ability to install modules with root privileges because implementation is different in different distros. So you either have to run the app while logged in as root or change permissions on /usr/bin. [16:35] apw, sorry, that's the kernel I installed :) [16:35] how can i increase the volume in ubuntu ? [16:35] aggie, ok lets startt again, thats a well old page ... so which actual issue are you hitting? [16:35] gartral: i get error if i run alsamixer [16:36] fccf: That should have read "you either have to install the modules while logged in as root" [16:36] vadi: whats the error? [16:36] gartral:alsamixer: function snd_mixer_load failed: Invalid argument [16:36] so run sudo xiphos or better yet gksudo xiphos to run the program as root to install the modules then close and restart [16:36] apw, I'm trying to to get Ubuntu to work with a brookdale 82845g/GL intel video driver [16:36] apw, If I move a window arround it delays [16:37] apw, like when you finish solitaire in windows [16:37] ;) [16:37] gartral: now alsamixer command is working and everything is 100% up [16:38] fccf: does gksudo work on any GUI app? [16:38] well rather than including 2.6.30-rc2 which is well old you might as well pick up 2.6.31-rc3 and that should have the mtrr fix you are trying to get [16:38] how to disable screen from sleeping? [16:38] twig11: yep, for the most part [16:38] dsdeiz, Power options in preferences in system [16:39] is there any way I can access smb://rickard01/backup/ from the shell? [16:39] and i would recommend instead of taking random packages from debian and expecting it to work you might want to try the packages in the x-edgers PPA [16:39] HOW can i change DPI in KDE environment??? [16:39] fccf: Thanks, I'll try that. [16:39] vadi: check your preferences and make sure everything is shown, then re check that everything is both up, and *any* boxes pertaining to SPDIF are UNchecked\ [16:39] vise: is it possible using the terminal? :S [16:40] Can anybody suggest a streaming video server for Ubuntu? I don't really know how it works and how it interacts with the rest of LAMP. [16:40] hello how do i port forward onm iptables? [16:40] dsdeiz, No idea.. [16:40] dsdeiz, Google? [16:40] apw, sorry man, I'm a regular noob eventhough I've been working with Ubuntu since 4 years now. But what you're saying is hocus pocus for me [16:40] TwoToneSpirt: Flumotion is what I use ... there is also a LAMP stack running next to it === tras3 is now known as apple34 [16:41] vise: is the correct term "sleep" hehehe [16:41] aggie, the page you are following pulls all random crap from other distros together into your machine [16:41] TwoToneSpirit: you will want to use the flumotion debs from their repository [16:41] rickard, smbclient [16:41] dsdeiz, Yes.. why do you want to do it from the terminal? [16:41] aggie, thats a recipie for pain in the future. i would tend to say if you have something which doesn't work X wise then the first thing to do is to talk to the people on #ubuntu-x and see what they think [16:41] apw, I got that part [16:42] true [16:42] fccf: Right on, thanks. What do you like about it? What exactly does it do that simply hosting an FLV and a flash player won't? [16:42] will do [16:42] vadi: beyond that.. if you still cant get sound out of your system, I recommend filling a bug report asking that Ubuntu Devs to impliment the newest drivers for sound, as it seems your hitting a snare, a nasty one: the drivers arent included in the kernal [16:42] apw, thanks for the help [16:42] aggie, they have a repository for backports for X stuff called X-edgers, which is all new but built specifically for ubuntu systems [16:43] which at least are meant to work together, so that might be a better step one, but i would ask before bunging on a load of stuff at random ... scarey [16:43] those pages should have a life of a few days really, given they have 'the latest is' written in them [16:43] gartral: please check the screen shot (http://imagebin.org/56006) everything is good [16:43] gartral: so its a bug [16:44] Is it worth it to bother making rescue floppies anymore? [16:44] Tetracomm: no [16:44] Tetracomm: None of the computers I use even have a floppy drive anymore. [16:44] hey i just installed bt4 on usb but it has deleated the mbr on my hard drive for ubuntu is there any way i can get my mbr back?? [16:44] people still have floppy drives? [16:44] Ok. [16:44] I still have one. :) [16:44] wow. [16:44] TwoToneSpirit: Firstly, it will do both VOD or Live stream, and it has it's own java virtual machine that is the player... it streams Theora Encoded OGG Video and can support 1000 simultainous users... and it is free... nice UI as well, uses gstreamer, and my streaming audio server has been running for 35 days without reboot [16:44] vadi: it looks that way, but in your sound preferences window, hit ctrl-p and make sure all your options are checked [16:45] i have a floppy on an old pc [16:45] hi people! does anyone know what engine to install to add transparency support to themes? cause I have installed a theme that is supposed to fade windows when not active, but it's not working.. appreciate any help [16:45] sorry to bother you guys, I haven't been able to google this, but what does LUM stand for? [16:46] sharrell: do you mean LVM? [16:46] progre55: are you using gnome? [16:46] spectacular, ok, did you install flashplayer, or did firefox do that automatically? [16:46] fccf: nope, I mean LUM, it has to do with kernel packaging, I am on a mailinglist [16:46] fccf: and I heard it htere [16:46] Supersaiyan_IV, i installed flashplugin [16:47] how do i set a password to root - there is none set yet [16:47] spectacular, try uninstalling it [16:47] sharrell: maybe license use management? [16:47] sharrell: license use management? [16:47] cycrosism, sudo passwd [16:47] !root | cycrosism [16:47] cycrosism: 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 [16:47] !supportroot | vise [16:47] vise: We don't support a root password so don't suggest one unless you are going to be here 24/7 to help someone who has problems as a result of having one, many thanks ;-) [16:47] Paavi2_0, hep [16:47] umm i know [16:47] yep* [16:47] Supersaiyan_IV, though i did that after already noticing the problem, thinking it might help. it made no difference with or withuot it [16:47] !sudo [16:47] sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [16:47] sharrell: I think it is Linux Ubuntu Modules .. could be wrong [16:47] thats why isaid there is none yet] [16:47] Slart, Ok ok.. sorry :) [16:47] sharrell: also look at http://www.datastat.com/sysadminjournal/netware/lum.html [16:47] spectacular, try installing flashplugin-nonfree instead of the installer one [16:48] ty vise [16:48] progre55: lucky guess: compiz-fusion [16:48] cycrosism, There is.. it is hidden...

[16:48] Supersaiyan_IV, that's the one i have [16:48] cycrosism, Setting the root password [16:48] why? [16:48] spectacular, ok [16:48] I just did set it [16:49] TwoToneSpirit: just remember to install from flumotion's repository... they work, the ubuntu repos are not so well maintained [16:49] progre55: guess so, almost everything needs to bee configured [16:49] !supportroot | cycrosism [16:49] cycrosism: We don't support a root password so don't suggest one unless you are going to be here 24/7 to help someone who has problems as a result of having one, many thanks ;-) [16:49] Paavi2_0, got it. thanks man [16:49] hello, i have gparted installed, and ntfsprogs, but gparted still doesn't give me the ntfs format option...??

Well i think version 9.04 is not a good version for my pc [16:49] !help [16:49] 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. :-) [16:49] cycrosism, Someone did.. you didnt see! [16:49] unfortunalty i dont happen to be at my computer 24/7 to give people help on it [16:50] progre55: ...or just a gtk theme? [16:50] Paavi2_0, no, it's a gtk2x theme.. [16:50] no man its the other way around [16:50] gartral: may be i should install 8.04 [16:50] is there a way to add a wordwrap button to gedit (perhaps a plugin?) so I can toggle wrapping per document? [16:50] spectacular, this could be a bug, go to youtube, run your video, then run your mouse over the video [16:50] apw, no one on x-ubuntu, can you just tell me how to apply the patches? [16:51] I'm not able to play VCD format .dat files in linux [16:51] aggie, the patch you pointed me to is one of mine, rather than try and apply that to -rc2 i would recommend you use the mainline kernel for 2.6.31-rc3 which has that fix already [16:51] ubuntu version 9.04 [16:51] how can I trigger the equivalent of dpkg-reconfigure -plow with aptitude install ?

I want to use the downloaded packages. [17:31] staticRails__: downloaded packages are cached in /var/cache/apt/archives ... but they will only work for the version you currently have ... another option is aptoncd [17:32] then just reinstall ubuntu [17:32] fccf: I use ultravnc as well, but the vnc server doesn't start up on my machine until someone physically logs in to the machine, ssh'ing doesn't cut it it seems [17:32] jrib: Like this: bla bla bla then on nex line another bla bla and so on.

OpenGL works perfectly on windows for this card... [17:36] fccf: I don't mind if it's a shared screen, i would probably prefer it activate a screen on the server and move the cursor around on it etc. [17:36] they also omitted to mention that session settings aren't saved when you logout but that's fixed in jaunty [17:36] hmmm how do i start the nomachine(NX) server?

Any suggestions on how to access my webcam and mic via flash? [17:54] nannes: than you're fine... the other names in the passwd file are for system logins and datapassing [17:54] salil_: that launches compiz and replaces your running window manager [17:54] glitsj16, What if compiz is already running?

Is there some X11 configuration i could try? [17:55] unop: I got it working, thanks! [17:55] nannes: also, get VIM, it'll help you with editing files better than nano: sudo apt-get install vim-full [17:56] MaarekStele: and can anyone with phisic acces to pc have the login with one of them? and what kind of priviledges could he take? [17:56] it says that i have 95.5 gb used in disk analyzer, but i definitely dont! [17:56] i have two hard drives [17:56] mhm [17:56] MaarekStele, nannes: Unless you also want gvim, you just want to install "vim" [17:56] nannes: unless if you leave your command line open and walk away, no one can gain access [17:56] What are "system logins and data passing" ?? MareekStele [17:56] salil_: i believe there were known issues with intel cards on jaunty [17:57] Doc-Saintly: look here http://www.watchingthenet.com/how-to-enable-automati-logon-in-ubuntu-or-kubuntu.html [17:57] oh thats why, ok im not sure if i can see my second hard drive, how do i add that to my linux partition [17:57] no you didn't understand what I asked you [17:57] glitsj16, I am on intrepid.. I am afraid that indicates that even if i upgrade to jaunty, i can't do gaming.. isn't it? [17:57] 1 - I have logoff [17:57] HEY FRESH UBUNTUS! Whats up with you???

Or what did I forget to do? Thanks. [17:57] anirban, It is done at install time... [17:57] Hi all [17:58] Everything upbounched with YOU? [17:58] !ot > Trolly [17:58] Trolly, please see my private message [17:58] Flannel: vi or vim is handy due to the preset color coding... you would have to create a config file for nano. I use both, but finding vi/vim much better for editing [17:58] nalys: go to add/remove and search for macromedia [17:58] bobo: in Disk analyzer click edit>preferences and click box next to the partition with mountpoint / so it checks only that one [17:58] salil_ : I have heard something like vm.swapiness ?? [17:58] Should I sing a song for you? [17:58] salil_: chances are the issues are already solved for jaunty, you might need to activate a PPA repo but it's not sure [17:58] 1 - I have logoff [17:58] 2 - I go out for a walk [17:58] 3 - can anyone go to pc and have the login with one of them? and what kind of priviledges could he take? [17:58] Wait a moment... [17:59] MaarekStele: Except when you're brand new and then have to learn how to use vim. There's no reason to suggest vim to a new user, they've got enough on their plate as is. [17:59] nannes: no.. they need your login since you're the only user [17:59] AN DER NORDSEEKÜSTE, JA DA GIBT ES FISCHE! [17:59] but in passwd file [17:59] they appear [17:59] anirban, That is to configure the swapping policy.. Not to create/modify the swap area which is actually a partition on the disk... [17:59] Flannel: true... I used nano when first downloaded Ubuntu [17:59] Trolly looool [17:59] nannes: What accounts are you talking about? Please don't use the enter key so much. [17:59] hi , where i can find mean : http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2009/07/correct-spelling-from-linux-command-line/ [17:59] Icaru5: thanks for the answer, but macromedia is installed already. [17:59] nannes: those are system users .. you cannot login with them [17:59] nannes: There are more users that are used by the system. They don't have logins that people can use [18:00] When converting an avi to DVD, devede doesn't sync up the video and audio very well.

I am running out of dedicated RAM . I am on a VPS [18:01] Ok so I saw a thread in the forums a week ago that showed how to update 9.04 to kernel 2.6.30 now I can't find that thread. Anyone know where it is? [18:01] salil_: i'm afraid i don't know anything about games on linux [18:01] ok perfect. Now: I don't want those services... (for example irc, there is also a user called irc)... can I delete them with userdel or they haven't considered as normal users?? [18:02] ohemgy: probably: but you would only be able to run AV on the wine C:\ directory .. it wouldn't be able to scan your ubuntu machine [18:02] anirban, You will have to create a separate partition on your disk depending on your RAm and format it as "linux swap" or any name by which your formatting program, say gparted refers to a swap partition. Then, IMHO linux should automatically find and use that. [18:02] Adobe Flash Player for Linux 10, help article online says to not use it.

[18:02] nannes: irc is not a normal user and does not have a login [18:02] I've got a very special question, whenever you click some browse button, for example in internet browser to choose some photo you can't preview it, is there any way of getting such preview? In windows xp you could see thumbnails or miniatures [18:02] oook [18:03] thansk [18:03] *ks [18:03] fccf: why is that? [18:03] nannes: your the only user. [18:03] hey, i have a question. i'm trying to copy folder contents from a folder on my desktop to usr/lib folder, but i keep getting permission denied. how do i change that? i am using ubuntu 9.04 [18:03] Houba1986: add sudo in front of the copy command [18:03] dAnon, If the program supports, it is shown. For example, the "Change desktop background" in preferences shows you thumbnails. [18:03] bobo, by any chance did you have virtualbox installed? [18:03] MaarekStele, nannes; But that doesn't mean that you can go ahead and delete all the other ones. Those may be used by system services. [18:04] he's probably using nautilus [18:04] Pici nannes: I said not to [18:04] MaarekStele: but it's a lot of files, so i was wondering if theres a way to copy them all at once?

[18:05] :) [18:05] Icaru5: Still can't access flash pages. Some videos work some don't, but I think that's because it's still using the open player, there's this gray play button on every video... [18:05] Eber-Jimmy: I don't understand what you are asking. [18:05] ohemgy: wine only has access to the windows resources... it really has nothing to do with the linux filesystem [18:05] Ok so I saw a thread in the forums a week ago that showed how to update 9.04 to kernel 2.6.30 now I can't find that thread. Anyone know where it is? [18:05] Houba1986: you could gksu nautilus or cp -R dirname/* /new/dir [18:05] Pici: and if I dont' want those services? [18:05] and sudo cp *.* is not wise as it only copy files/dirs with a dot in the name [18:05] MaarekStele: so i type in sudo cp *first folder*.*usr/lib* [18:05] nalys: can you view youtue/ [18:06] nannes: Then you should either disable them or uninstall them. [18:06] nalys: can you view youtube?

It only works if that someone have the said key. [18:32] hmm that seems more logical. my wireless works for wep, just not wpa. [18:33] mazda01: You generate a new key, you send a copy of the key to your phone. Then that phone can access in your server without password / passphrase. [18:33] spad: can you tell me where exactly you found it? [18:33] skellington: i had a wpa connection on a different location (different router) just never with my own .. wireless worked just fine, but not wpa .. installing the package did the trick (wpa2 still doesn't work though) [18:33] anyone able to assist with the netgear [18:33] Lastly, why is their big spaces between the writing in terminal? screenshot > http://h.imagehost.org/0251/Screenshot.png [18:33] mazda01, when you're using ssh and you have a key, it always asks you for the passphrase of the key instead of the password [18:33] mazda01, if you want to avoid typing your passphrase all the time, check out ssh-agent [18:34] Ummm Hello!? [18:34] leaf-sheep, oh yeah, that's true. [18:34] erisol: lolers weird, im having trouble getting a public key to work, how does ssh agent work? [18:34] fccf:?

[18:35] Hello everyone, quick Ubuntu Server question. I installed UbuntuServer9.04, ran getapt and all that and got Xubuntu's Gui running on it, this is all on an 80GB IDE HD, but later I plugged my 250 gig SATA to it. For some reason it's not detecting it at all. Normally, as on my normal ubuntu machine, other partitions (it's all a 320gbdrive on my laptop) are listed as mountable drives. Why isn't my server desktop pickuing up the sata [18:35] Zack, does ssh with the passphrase work? [18:35] i'm using opera, and i can't find the flash player version for watching videos on youtube... hwo can help me? [18:35] Can I auto hide two panels with the same trigger, to make them act as though they were the same? [18:35] darn. i think mine might be both.. [18:35] bazhang: how to install ? [18:35] dont know what you mean erisol [18:35] maybe thats my problem [18:35] fccf: gmpf [18:35] but ill try this out. [18:35] hmpf [18:36] I'm trying to install Ubuntu (8 or 9) on my setup "athlon quad core, xfxgeforce 8200 MB, and a Geforce 9800GT PCIx. I keep gettin stuck at busy box interface. Any ideas :( [18:36] I mean, does ssh work at all ;) [18:36] the site wont open for me [18:36] Ealserv, try doing a disk check before you install. [18:36] what is the different between Fedora Core 6 and openSUSE 10.2 ??? [18:36] fccf: Thanks [18:36] skellington: check the backports package and see if it works .. can always uninstall it or reconfigure/tweak your router (perhaps) [18:36] yes and it leaves me at busy box. and tried a reburn. [18:36] how to tell an app to start on specipic monitor? -display is not available for every app. [18:36] ersoi: thanks [18:36] ubuntunewbie: different distros no covered/supported here [18:36] JamesHoldsworth: try adding all-ide-generic to your grub boot line ... guessing your sata controller is running in IDE mode [18:36] it's in the beginning menu, where you can say "Install ubuntu, try ubuntu without any change," etc [18:36] mazda01: You use Gnome (Nautilus)? [18:36] erUSUL: thanks [18:36] Zack: are you logging in from across the internet or your workstation/ [18:37] ubuntunewbie: ask in their respective channels forums [18:37] owen1: Check out devilspie [18:37] erUSUL: ?? [18:37] woodworker: no problem [18:37] drbenway workstation [18:37] How do I do that?

[18:37] what command are you using? [18:37] erUSUL: I downloaded a printer driver but at the manual only show this OS for installation [18:37] erUSUL: I dont know how to install at ubuntu [18:37] i can try that with no changes. if it helps when tryin to install ver. 9 busy box said that ubuntu had complications communcating with my board and to complain to my vendor. [18:37] okeedokee thanks [18:37] Zack, if your public key works then the next step is to start ssh-agent. The command is "eval `ssh-agent`" on the command line [18:38] ubuntunewbie: you usually use the ppd file [18:38] mazda01: Open any Nautilus folder. Check out Preferences under "Media" tab. [18:38] Zack, note that those are backquotes, found on the same key as the tilde [18:38] j0nr: i haven't messed with wpa_supplicant .. or rather, i couldn't get anything with it working .. and my wireless isn't a pcmcia card .. other than that, i've been running ubuntu for almost a week now :) [18:38] erUSUL: ppd file ? what is that ? [18:38] Zack, after ssh-agent has started, run ssh-add [18:38] erUSUL: the driver Idownloaded got .rpm [18:38] erUSUL: I dont know how to install [18:38] JamesHoldsworth: lets start here ... www.ubuntupocketguide.com [18:39] camt: DISPLAY=:0.1 conky works for me [18:39] owen1: I only have experience with it in Gnome, so it may not work for you [18:39] Zack, it will ask you which keys you want added, and then their passphrases. After you've done that, it should be able to connect to a remote server without requiring the passphrase again [18:39] leaf-sheep, nope. i already checked that. it's still set to "ask what to do". there is some config somewhere telling brasero to open a data cd project after I enter a blank cd-r. just not sure where that config is. [18:39] ubuntunewbie: are you sure your printer is not listed in the supported printers? in System>Adminstration>Printers [18:39] j0nr: there might be something interesting on http://wireless.kernel.org/ .. you'll have to check for yourself though, i'm still new to ubuntu and linux in general [18:40] erUSUL: It recommend me to install ip2000 driver but my printer is model ip2580 using ip2500 driver [18:40] erUSUL: the driver wans't there [18:40] when a user writes a file, the permissions are defaulted to 755. Is there a way to change the default to 775? [18:41] erUSUL: Now I am printer configuration , make a model change.I can't find ip2500 printer model [18:41] mazda01: I'm trying to find it for you.

I mean, how do I only get say number 5 of a tag? Not all similar tags, only one of the tags. [18:45] quizme, you should be able to put a line like "umask=002" in /etc/profile to make the default last across sessions [18:45] fccf: 'sudo apt-get install ntp' and 'sudo apt-get install ntpudate [18:46] quizme, otherwise you can just type umask in on your terminal each time [18:46] woodworker: sudo apt-get ntp ntpupdate [18:46] woodworker: or just sudo apt-get install ntp ntpdate [18:46] woodworker: sudo apt-get ntp ntpdate [18:46] snewp, No inprovment.

That menu does not exist (in 8.04) === keppchen is now known as babyrobbe [19:33] it's ok, we're all at different levels of new ;) [19:34] I'm here asking some questions myself [19:34] er, that was to c0nn3x [19:34] erisol: some of us are far from new [19:34] how can I make my moodle directory writeable or how can I copy a code into the root directory manually...... remember I am on 2 different computers [19:34] okay ;) [19:34] How do I get the cross-compiler package g++-4.3-arm-linux-gnueabi on ubuntu? I tried adding the emdebian address to apt-get source list, but it tells me "Depends: libgomp1 (>= 4.3.2-1.1) but 4.3.2-1ubuntu12 is to be installed" .. Which is the same version but ubuntu instead of Debian [19:34] MrStein, use the alternative way ubottu suggests then [19:34] sebsebseb: Right. I went in to increase the partitions and don't see it in there. Just 1 partition, main one [19:34] ersol: been doing this for 4 years ... I can't consider myself new anymore [19:34] Does anyone know of a push gmail checker? (one that does not poll but just keeps an open connection like IMAP IDLE) [19:35] sebsebseb, fccf, I doubt you would claim to know *everything* about ubuntu or linux [19:35] wizzo: and you let the installer resize Vista maybe, which can cause dataloss hmm [19:35] woodworker: sudo chown www-data www-data /var/www/moodle -R [19:35] woodworker, you want to copy something from one computer to another?

[19:36] totem* [19:36] erisol, Ill try some thinks thanks for the help ;) [19:36] wizzo: really should use Vista's partition resize to resize it, or dataloss can happen as I said [19:36] partition resizer [19:36] sebsebseb: Basically, it doesn't matter. Which is better? Then so I have room to add on things from Ubuntu === pokeppchen is now known as rotkeppchen [19:36] Hi firestarter is blocking my wireless connection ?

Is there someone familiar with nVidia troubles? [19:38] wizzo: and come back here [19:38] sebsebseb: No! I still want my VISTA on here [19:38] wizzo: that's what I thought [19:38] woodworker, but you shouldn't do that if you can help it .. it allows the webserver to write to those directories - which is not good news for security. [19:39] wizzo: oh maybe it's worth taking a look at the vista partition resizer [19:39] c0nn3x: check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto [19:39] sebsebseb: I have others that use my computer and they would be lost if I did that [19:39] unop: I had to do it..... this is just for a class project then the actuall site construction will be hosted on the school server [19:39] c0nn3x specifically: sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base [19:39] xorg.conf doesn't appear to be what controls touchpad behavior [19:39] sebsebseb: ok, How do I do it?

I am on Ubuntu having fun with virtual machines :) [19:40] stew : ok,..... is there an ubuntu version of gcc-eabi?

Resize the partitions? [19:42] wizzo: not the running Ubuntu partition, you need the Live CD for that [19:42] MK13: ok well turns out he is on Ubuntu anyway :) [19:42] c0nn3x you will need to reboot after you do that [19:42] sebsebseb: I am running it now, sudo apt-get install gparted [19:43] woodworker: moodle is inheirently reasonably secure, if you want to lock it down .. that is ok... but some folders need to remain writealbe [19:43] fccf: that is cool just learning [19:43] So.... where's the place for cross-compiler package on ubuntu?

[20:21] wizzo: yeah you seemed pretty new, since you coudn't even screenshot, altough that's pretty common in Windows as well [20:21] wizzo: for people to do screenshots [20:21] woodworker: edit /var/www/moodle/configuration.php ... make the configs point to the right place [20:21] tbtroj: I had problems with it freezing my system before. Anything else? [20:21] fccf: Yar trying that now [20:21] wizzo: I just want to explain something, before helping with those partitions properly and so. Do you know what a file system is? e.g. NTFS or Fat32 in Windows? [20:21] sebsebseb: Let me ask one question, would it been better to format my HD as FAT 32 Instead of NTFS before installing my VISTA? [20:21] fccf: so sudo nano.......... the file directory you said? [20:22] DarkMage26, XMMS2 is what Audacious is based off of, and supports presets. [20:22] tbtroj: thanks [20:22] woodworker: whereever the moodle config is [20:22] wizzo: i don't think vista supports fat32 [20:22] wizzo: You can't. [20:22] sebsebseb: Some. I was just asking you about that? [20:22] wizzo: uh no, Vista uses NTFS :) in fact it uses a slightly later version than XP. XP is NTFS version 4 and Vista is NTFS version 5 if I have this correct [20:22] I'm trying to recover some data from a drive after it was dropped, and I am getting input/output errors. I looked around, but I can't find a way to make the process work better. Does anybody know a way to copy files that will skip errors? [20:22] sebsebseb: Ok [20:22] wizzo: that is also why people should really resize Vista, with it's resizer [20:22] My current strategy is scp, which eventually moves past them, but it's pretty laggy. [20:23] wizzo: resizing XP partitions with Gparted no problem [20:23] that came up blank [20:23] sebsebseb: The Manager? [20:23] hi. I'm trying to mount an external hard drive. I used umount /media/thedrivename, then tried to remount with 'sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/thedrivename', which fails [20:23] wizzo: you will boot up Vista, to resize it [20:23] woodworker: cd into the moodle directory and do an ls to find the config file [20:23] sebsebseb: Ok, how you go about doing it with Gparted then? [20:23] wizzo: your not going to use Gparted to resize Vista [20:24] sagredo: is the drive in fstab? [20:24] wizzo: I wanted the screenshot so I could see your partitions properly [20:24] Ive found the vista and windows 7 tools (in windows) to be faster in resizeing ntfs. [20:24] th0r: how do I check [20:24] sagredo: Check dmesg to see if it's same partition sdb1 [20:24] sebsebseb: Oh, then your saying to reboot in Vista and do it [20:24] fccf: Thank you spot on! Now should I try xfix or should I do something else? [20:24] fccf: sorry over my head still [20:24] one question...in ubuntu 9.04 Server Edition...how is it possible to disable those annoying update notifications which are displayed each time when I login via SSH terminal? (updates like: xx system updates, xx security updates available)...how to disable that notification?! [20:24] Clouse: start with the xfix [20:24] sagredo: what kind of drive is it? do you know the format of the drive? [20:24] wizzo: i found the vista tool to resize a ntfs in like 1/4 the time it took ubuntu do to it. [20:24] woodworker: pm me [20:24] wizzo: yes, but I want to say something else, give you a little tip for the future, as in the end of October, when Ubuntu 9.10 comes out [20:24] hello [20:24] sebsebseb: So, I can't resize here in Ubuntu? [20:24] Anyone know how to get X working on a ATI 3D Rage IIc [20:25] ntfs, but it worked fine for read/write houndreds of time before I tried unmounted it [20:25] oh [20:25] how i can patch my driver?

[20:26] [55728.163955] usb-storage: device scan complete [20:26] Owners: Hello Juon. :) [20:26] wizzo: by default Ubuntu is using the Ext3 file system, as you can see for yourself, but the next version is using the faster Ext4 file system by default, but that means people have to clean install for full support. and it could be used now for 9.04, but some think it's not stable enough yet or whatever [20:26] ok thanks [20:26] th0r: that was the first thing I tried, no luck [20:26] Owners: Talk here. [20:26] !pm > Owners [20:26] Owners, please see my private message [20:26] sebsebseb: In other words, it is a beta version right now.

[20:27] wizzo: no the file system is stable really now, just not quite in Ubuntu 9.04 or something [20:27] I don't remember the command to set Sun instead of openJDK for Java dev.

Firefox 3.0.11 [20:27] i`am using b43 [20:27] fhClient: no idea. i always do clean installs..i never (or rarely) upgrade [20:27] Dr_Willis: Athlon 64, a gig of ram :) [20:27] sagredo: do an 'ls -' /media' in a terminal and see if there is a mount point for the drive. If it is a usb drive you will need to make a mount point for it somewhere for the time being [20:27] and i want to patch the driver [20:28] Dr_Willis: Yep, today i came equipped to just back up, wipe, and fresh install 9.04.

[20:48] rohan: edit menu.lst [20:48] Clouse: you shouldn't need a root password for recovery mode ... unless you actually set the root password [20:48] Shinka: sudo update-java-alternatives --set java-6-sun [20:48] rohan: thank you very much [20:48] dayo: i can edit it manually, but it will just get overwritten during the next update-grub. [20:49] Shinka: np [20:49] rohan, see the commented section above the kernels, there are some handy options [20:49] dayo: I used exactly what you posted, except I named it /media/ [20:50] fccf: well now I am stuffed [20:50] maximumbob: did you say this was a secondary mouse? [20:50] sagredo: the first part of what i posted needs to be customized, too. when u type fdisk -l it gives u the device name of the ext hd. that's what u put in the first part of the line in /etc/fstab [20:50] rohan: It does seem to work when I use the command, but do I need to restart my computer or do something else ? I tried to run NetBeans and it doesn't work (openJDK is uninstalled) [20:50] dayo: duh [20:50] Hello. I am using ati radeon 9600pro graphic aclerator and I am wondering if it si supportet under jaunty and I need link how to manually install dem? Thnx [20:50] dayo: thanks again [20:51] sagredo: u're welcome [20:51] Nitsuga: what i think might be useful is "howmany=1", but no other optoin to ignore a kernel as such === SimonimNetz|afk is now known as SimonimNetz [20:51] Shinka: that should set sun java to be the default even if you have openjdk installed alongside. a reboot should not be required, logout and log back in, that might help.

[20:52] hmm [20:52] hang on [20:52] I have a new computer where i'm going to install Windows (games beat me :P) and some linux distribution, and I need a modern filesystem (Not a ten-years-old one like NTFS) which both system can access (I don't really need writing in windows, just reading). Some ideas? [20:52] it continues telling me that it can not find my states DECI infomation [20:53] nitsuga good luck [20:53] No idea about iptables? :/ [20:53] camt: sorry I didn't see your message! This is a usb-attached touchscreen monitor. The system sees it as a usb mouse on /dev/input/js0 [20:53] man iptables [20:54] Nitsuga: best to not let Windows read your Linux partitions, unless they are only a data partiton to share between the two [20:54] snarkster, thank you [20:54] ok so please tell me how to create a new user account onto sql [20:54] !ext3 | Nitsuga [20:54] Nitsuga: ext3 is the default filesystem on Ubuntu, and the most popular on Linux. You can read/write from Windows to ext3 via http://www.fs-driver.org [20:54] sebsebseb, yes, only data partition [20:54] mysql admin [20:54] also is there a way to connect ubuntu to a windows domain [20:54] my problem is that my configuration blocks all connections (except for the implicitly allowed ones), so I cannot use apt-get or such if I keep the drop line in it.. http://pastebin.com/dbfd8f63 [20:55] Nitsuga: and the next Ubuntu will be using Ext4 by default :) which means people have to clean install for full support, but reading that file system from Windows, I don't think can be done at the moment [20:55] alright ubuntu gurus, my usb external hard drive worked a million times, I run the umount /media/culp (the default name ubuntu found), and now I cannot get it to reconnect. Help! [20:55] sebsebseb, las time i tried with that i coudn't use it [20:55] Nitsuga: also it's optional in 9.04 [20:55] hi all, how do i create a global command? [20:55] it said that it only support 128-byte inode size or something like that [20:55] e.g. i have a file called ./webtest.sh [20:55] how do I find the current color-depth? I remember there was some command ...bpp...? [20:55] and i need a symlink that works across the shell [20:55] Nitsuga: Ext3 data partition to share between the two that makes sense [20:55] thx snarkster. installing now :) [20:55] maximumbob: okay, can you show me the output of ls -l /dev/input/by-id? [20:55] Nitsuga: and you can use Ext4 for the rest if you want [20:55] i thought i need to create a symlink in /usr/bin [20:55] Nitsuga: i'd suggest fat, if it didn't have the 4gb limit. fat is the most compatible fs. [20:55] but i don't think that worked [20:56] jthomas: use /usr/local/bin/ [20:56] sebsebseb, yes, but the ext2fs driver for windows didn't worked for me [20:56] if you want windows to read your partition and have linux read your partitions then youll have to use fat32 or ntfs [20:56] sadsada [20:56] camt: http://pastebin.com/m3a2c323 [20:56] rohan Nitsuga don't use Fat, NTFS is better, and Ubuntu can read and write to it no problem, as long as Windows shut it down properly [20:56] So, anyone heard any news about ATI GPUs on 9.04? [20:56] it said that the partition sould have been formated with a 128-byte inode size [20:56] there is a module you can get for windows that allows reading ext3 partitons but no writing [20:56] jthomas: # Alias definitions. [20:56] # You may want to put all your additions into a separate file like [20:56] # ~/.bash_aliases, instead of adding them here directly. [20:56] sagredo: try mount /dev/yourExtHD_DeviceName /media/ and then sudo mount -a [20:56] rohan; That's annoying, NetBeans just won't work without openJDK, i just reinstalled it and now it works fine. [20:57] camt: and there's very obvious output if I 'cat /dev/input/js0' when I use the touchscreen [20:57] oh and the ext3 reading module is really really slow [20:57] Nitsuga: well you can use NTFS for the data partition then, but for Linux partitions it would be better to use Ext3 or Ext4 or some other Linux file system [20:57] dayo: I get a bug [20:57] rohan: even though sun is now supposed to be the default [20:57] sagredo: first remove the line u added in /etc/fstab [20:57] how do I find the current color-depth? I remember there was some command ...bpp...? [20:57] dayo: k [20:57] sebsebseb, noway i'm using FAT, y will have HD movies there. And i want a modern fliesystem if it's possible [20:57] Anyone know how to get X working on a ATI 3D Rage IIc [20:57] Nitsuga: yes I said not to use Fat, and NTFS is modern for Windows [20:58] ntfs modern. LOL [20:58] kalaghan: xrandr will output current resolution [20:58] hey, if i have any technical questions regarding libapt/apt-get/aptitude, where should i go? [20:58] mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so [20:58] What's an alternative for Amarok? [20:58] FAT sucks. Really sucks. [20:58] kalaghan: xdpyinfo will tell you [20:58] spree: Why's that? [20:58] yah it does. [20:58] Nitsuga: Vista and I guess Windows 7 have NTFS version 5 (if I have the numbers correc ), but that means gparted can't just resize or dataloss might happen, and XP and 2000 have NTFS 4 [20:58] can anyone here help me with Ubuntu 9.04 Persistent off a USB drive with Hirens Boot CD too? [20:58] alternative for amarok? LOL [20:58] FAT is prone to unrecoverable errors, takes up more space, does not retain security information, cannot be encrypted [20:58] dayo: that's what running mount returns [20:58] camt: Just tried using 'event7' instead of 'js0' - no change [20:58] Someone has an idea how to make Sun's Java work on Ubuntu ? [20:58] sagredo: thanks, what's the format for bash_alises [20:59] sagredo: what do syslog and dmesg say? [20:59] m0r0n Don't use FAT. or FAT32.

I dont know whats causing this, and how to handle that if i'm iterating over ALL packages. Further more, meta-packages, tasks and virtual packages just makes it so much harder... :/ [21:13] is there any link from where i can download drivers for DELL STUDIO laptops... [21:13] can someone help me install the real cdrtools package instead of the useless wodim package which doesn't work? [21:13] Klowny windows is not the standard by any means.

[21:14] there isn't exactly gaming companies designing for linux lol [21:14] Klowny just what do you mean? [21:14] Klowny Wrong again [21:14] spree how so? [21:14] . [21:14] jrib, brb, gonna find you a nice example... [21:14] fccf: Wow still the same issue, damn I really thought that was going to work for a minite there [21:15] i can think of.. err... 1 game that came out with a linxu client recently.. (Savage 2) [21:15] ok i somethimes use ubuntu, default on laptop is vista, and i have 2gb ram, vista is sorta slow, so im thinking that its just the resource-hogging vista, so i used ubuntu and it is also very slow, what would be causing this? [21:15] Hi, I am using the proprietry driver from ATI the lastest version I am using the proposed updates and keep getting kernel updates do i need to reinstall the driver over each kernel that i run as they seem to break compiz [21:15] Dr_Willis: exactly my point, now how many windows lol [21:15] the savage 2 people are releasing another game with a linux client, heroes of newerth [21:16] i'm not saying windows is better [21:16] Klowny http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_gaming#Commercial_games <-- Klowny, being misinformed doesn't mean that you are stupid, but please refrain from making false statements. [21:16] but it's mainstream [21:16] tell me a good FPS game [21:16] Clouse: try CTRL-ALT-F1 [21:16] it's not a false statement windows is mainstream for games [21:16] I have serverl comercial linux games from years past.. and.. sadly most of them dont work on newer disrtos [21:16] fccf: OK [21:16] I wish, companies should start making games for Ubuntu. [21:16] notlistening: depends on how you installed the drivers ... did you used the ati installer or used System>Admin..>Hardware Drivers [21:16] StormAtRest, quake.. open arena. [21:17] storm it would be nice [21:17] Anyone know how to work Bashee well? [21:17] erUSUL, -, ati installer [21:17] Klowny Yes it is a false statement. Console is mainstream for games. [21:17] fccf: Is there a comand that can whipe out all GPU settings and set them back to default? [21:17] Clouse: I trust you got to a terminal? [21:17] notlistening: then the reinstall everytime a new kernel is relesed is necesary afaik [21:18] Klowny please refrain from continuing to make false statements based on opinion. Do some research and come back. [21:18] fccf: Yes just going back there now [21:18] spree no research is needed to see what pc games are being developed for and vast majority is for windows [21:18] I'm getting this strange error when I use APT-GET AUTOREMOVE: http://pastie.org/547269 [21:18] erUSUL, thanks that makes sense now thinking about it what a right royal pain but the fixes are worth it [21:18] fccf: back in terminal as root [21:18] Hi, guys where can I find a tutorial for booting over network on jaunty, I googled it but there are many websites with many ways, I am asking if you know any tested way ? [21:18] * Dr_Willis waits for the OT warnings to come in. [21:19] Clouse: first things first ... you need pastebinit.... sudo apt-get install pastebinit [21:19] Dr_Willis: you read my mind! [21:19] aboSamoor: you mean seting up a Jaunty server to boot other machiens (to jaunty) [21:19] Klowny You've changed your position 3 times now to reflect something you consider more true. Please take it to someplace more relevant like #politics [21:19] !ot | spree, Klowny [21:19] spree, Klowny: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [21:19] therea red-named link '.#CoacherTitle.php -> root@here.20547' how to remove it? [21:20] Klowny yes, please take it to #ubuntu-offtopic [21:20] jrib: that will show them. [21:20] Dr_Willis, I want to install jaunty on other machines which don't have CD readers [21:20] Klowny You are allowed to be wrong all you want in there. [21:20] fccf: OK I'd better go out and get into netroot and plug a cable in, one moment [21:21] aboSamoor: just installing should be doable.. (never done it however) most of the sites im seeing are a little old. [21:21] Clouse: being connected is a prerequisite [21:21] !install | aboSamoor [21:21] aboSamoor: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways.

If so, which hardware specifically? [21:23] Dr_Willis, it is much better do you know any way to add support to USB booting to the bios ? [21:23] does anyone have any idea why ubuntu would eb slow with 2gb ram? [21:23] fccf: ok pastebinnt is installed [21:24] LolzMan: do you have compiz and a bunch of other stuff running? [21:24] LolzMan: Maybe it's the processor? What do you have [21:24] Clouse: sudo cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | pastebinit -- and give me the url [21:24] aboSamoor: if your pc cant boot a flash drive.. well... not sur what you want to do then.. you cant boot from cd or usb? [21:24] i can't see videos on youtube with opera... can someone help me? [21:24] i have what every the default is and pretty much only ff [21:24] would you consider a departure to be a time or a place [21:25] Cool [21:25] fccf: Cool [21:25] proc is an amd 64 athlon x2 [21:25] Seven-7: run that with sudo [21:26] fccf: Uh, it's in root. [21:26] fccf: Do I really have to use SUDO inside root? [21:26] fccf: I can't get the pipe key to work? [21:27] Seven-7: in root ? [21:27] LolzMan, usually if linux seems slow the graphics driver is to blame. what graphics card? [21:27] Seven-7: whoops ... didn't see that right away ... [21:27] LolzMan: that's plenty fast [21:27] Clouse, you can do it with pastebinit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [21:27] Curtis_B: verb [21:28] jrib, actually. i was wrong. sort of. new "Recommends", are installed as "automatically installed: no". I think i have to file a bug report about that. I seem to recall reading they did that so people could remove certain child packages without calling the dependency resolver to remove the package the got child installed. [21:28] Clouse: do what bastidrazor said [21:28] bastidrazor: thanks [21:28] fccf: sure [21:28] pelle_k: I see [21:29] asdf [21:29] hi everybody [21:29] is there a way to unroll all the changes you've made to ubuntu? [21:29] danl: not very esaially.. [21:29] danl: normally its not needed [21:30] I have a vps that started at 500mb and now is over 1gb and I want to reset... but my vps host page is messed up and for some reason ubuntu 9.04 is not an option right now [21:30] evenin [21:30] fccf: pastebin.com/f7b87813a [21:30] I install firefox-3.5, but it's not, it's Shiretoko Preview Browser, How do I install Fixfox verison 3.5?

But there's some major 'drifting' and it won't uninvert. It was better before when it thought it was a mouse.

[21:36] troubled: please don't spam stuff like that [21:36] oh lol [21:36] tanner_: my apologies, I was talking to troubled [21:36] camt: bad aha, will explain: [21:36] he said he cant see video [21:37] camt: It _is_ using it like a joystick. So if I click far away from the center, it 'moves' faster. But if I click near the center of the screen, it is still. Imagine where I click where you have angled and held the joystick. [21:38] Is there an apt meta package of sorts that only installs security updates from the cli? [21:38] msg nickserv marc emilyrz1 [21:38] camt: you know, it might be the 'relative' option I used. Perhaps I need 'absolute'. There wasn't any explanation for that optipn in man joystick. [21:38] or how would one go about just applying security updates to installed packages [21:38] fccf: Sorry I don't know where dmesg is, is it also a .conf file? [21:38] arthurh: they get offered to you out of the security repo [21:38] maximumbob: that sounds like it's worth a shot. inversion works though? [21:38] on my opera i cant watch youtube videos, but i have the plug-in... what can i do? [21:39] ikonia: so, just apply all updates available in the security repository by disabling other repos? [21:39] arthurh: no, [21:39] why does my power button seem to turn off the computer like i unplugged it? [21:39] camt: No [21:39] arthurh: the security updates are part of the normal update process [21:39] Opera here also - dosent seem to play flash videos.. even tho it does say the plugin is installed. [21:39] camt: except in 'jstest' the numbers show the inversion, but not the result [21:39] racecar56 you can set that in the power settings [21:40] cor, ? [21:40] camt: some success! It no longer drifts - absolute was the answer to that. Now I just have to force the inversion. [21:40] Clouse type dmesg into term [21:40] there's got to be a config for the power button event somewhere. Configure that. [21:40] ikonia: but I ONLY want to install security updates to installed packages, and of course their dependencies -- but I don't want to upgrade any packages that exist for the sake of upgrading -- [21:41] cor, i looked at my power management thing and it says if i press power button, ask [21:41] arthurh: that's not how it works, it only offers updates+security updates for installed packages [21:41] arthurh: it won't update something you don't have installed [21:41] <[keanu]> is there a known memory leak with vlc 1.0.0? [21:41] cor, but i had that set and it still goes off like i unplugged it [21:41] strange [21:41] cor, it's a really old computer though [21:42] cor, but in windoze at the day i used it the power button works fine === tonii_ is now known as tonii [21:42] perhaps your error logs have more details, maybe a driver issue. maybe your BIOS forces it. [21:42] hmm. [21:42] <[keanu]> i'm using vlc 1.0.0 from the PPAs, and it appears that it eats through all of my memory [21:42] fccf: Yep did that and it came up and went by really fast [21:42] cor, well, the bios dosen't seem to have an option O_o [21:43] Clouse: thats what I need to read [21:43] every time gdm starts I get a curses page with an Ok button taht says that an internal error occurred. Where can I find a more detailed description of this error? I looked in /var/log but I don't see anything relevant in Xorg's logs. [21:43] <[keanu]> with firefox, xchat, terminal, vlc, pulseaudio volume control open, i ran a while loop to append the output of 'free' to a log every tenth of a second - at one point, both my 2.5GB of physical ram, and my 2GB of swap were wiped [21:43] anyone know why my download rate seems realy slow? [21:43] fssf: I figured that but I don't know what directory it lives in [21:44] wow, Flash has totally broke Firefox on 9.04. Anyone know of a fix for this? [21:44] BitWraith, possibly in ~/.xsession-errors [21:44] only does it in ubuntu, if i boot into windows its fine [21:44] ikonia: I understand that -- but let's say I have package A, version 1. Package B, Version 1 both installed. Package A was upgraded in the repo to version 2 for a feature standpoint, Package B has a security update to version 1.1 no more -- there's no way to just upgrade package B via some type of meta package or similar while ignoring package A that has only a new release for feature additions? [21:44] fccf: I tryed to nano it but got nothing [21:44] arthurh: versions don't get updated like that, it's bug fixes normally, and security updates [21:44] wow, that was some load of crap that came out of my fingers -- but you get it [21:44] arthurh: let ubuntu manage your updates [21:44] cor, looked in dmesg but apparently i don't see anything bad [21:45] ikonia yeah, during install of Ubuntu server I did choose to not have it apply updates and security updates automagically [21:45] Clouse: i'd have you pipe dmesg to pastebinit but you can't pipe can you? [21:45] ikonia: I'm not sure that was the most wise choice [21:45] I have a Happaugh 850 USBWintv-hvr, but everything look for /dev/video0, I can even find when it register when I plug it in, any help out there? [21:45] arthurh: let it apply updates - they are bug fixes, not major package updates [21:45] racecar56, I still haven't manahged to get my Satellite to sleep or hibernate in the Jaunty, so I'm not really the man to ask! [21:45] cor, hey, i looked again and i see something.... [21:45] hit me! [21:46] fccf: I will try again [21:46] cor, "The chipset may have PM-Timer Bug. Due to workarounds for a bug, this clock source is slow. If you are sure your timer does not have this bug, please use "acpi_pm_good" to disable the workaround" [21:46] interesting [21:46] cor, i don't know if this would do it but it looks funny [21:46] fccf: that it so wired the pipe key just wont work [21:47] I took another look in /var/log and I found the error, although I'm sure sure how to correct it. [21:47] cor, i guess i should add acpi_pm_good to some file? [21:47] ikonia: thanks for the insight [21:48] "Saw signal 11: Server aborting." [21:48] cor, "HPET not enabled in BIOS. You might try hpet=force boot option" [21:48] isn't it a flag? [21:48] cor, interesting... hmmmm [21:49] dude how do tell if your running in 64bits?

I've defraged already, using win xp [22:06] th0was: [22:06] gastaufdemast: I have two of these touchscreens and have the exact same issue [22:06] Ok, it looks like a bug with the password changing utility. [22:06] gastaufdemast: http://pastebin.com/m43bbbdc5 if it's enlightening at all [22:06] Hreno: I don't think any app can "split" partitions.. shrink and create a new one though... that might work [22:06] Slart, that's what I want, yeah [22:06] ciao [22:06] he changed his password and the wrapper for his ecryptfs didn't get updated to the new password. [22:06] fccf: But after I get through this I am going back to 8.1 so I can have some openGL goodness [22:06] is there a defrag app for ubuntu ? [22:07] Hreno: you can use fdisk, gparted, parted or any number of those kinds of apps [22:07] ditemi che ci sono italiani :) [22:07] Clouse: from what I can tell your card is supprted by the xserver-xorg-video-radeonhd driver ... of course you would also need fglrx and perhaps some others ... I hope this helps [22:07] che spettacolo.... [22:07] SnakDoc: nope.. not for ext2/3 at least [22:07] Slart, yeah, but I think I have to use a CD for that. is there possibly to do that inside of win xp? [22:07] SnakDoc: but as long as you keep at least 20% free space on the drive fragmentation shouldn't be a problem [22:07] Slart was wanting it for external has ntfs on it [22:07] sorry bout, loss the connection [22:08] maximumbob - have u tried to turn -x and -y to x and y ? [22:08] Hreno: you would have to ask in a windows channel about that.. try ##windows [22:08] BitWraith: the graphics card is an ati radeon.

Any idea as to what would cause this? [22:09] gastaufdemast: I've tried every combination you can imagine... + and -, even swapped and used both letters at a time. Added a number. Nothing changes anything. Though changing 'absolute' to 'relative' makes a difference so I know the configuration has some effect. [22:09] richdf: use a pastebin [22:09] i need help with my wirless network i have linksys card will anyone go threw step by step? [22:09] is that what is causing the problem [22:09] richdf: no idea really.. [22:09] it has updated drivers [22:09] fccf: Yes it does very much, thankyou very much once again, is there a sire you can direct me to with a bit more info or maybe even a bit step by step acction, sorry but I am stil a liunx newbe [22:09] i need help with my wirless network i have linksys card will anyone go threw step by step?

[22:15] rootlinuxusr: routing problems perhaps.. you can see the routing settings if you type "route" in a terminal [22:15] gstaufdemast: I need to _invert_ the axis. setting as just =y would be the same as the touchscreen reported [22:15] does anyone know where i can find firefox's error messages? sort of like window$ minidumps [22:15] rootlinuxusr the ip info correct ? [22:16] r4ban: try running it from a terminal.. not sure if firefox keeps logs somewhere [22:16] Guest82874: Is this on a network at work or something? [22:16] gstaufdemart, guntbert: Well I was able to get rid of the autoscrolling by setting the third axis to none instead of defaulting it. (It is the pressure and by default is mapped to the scrollwheel) [22:16] gastaufdemast: no idea :-), I supposed it has to do with reverting up/down but you might have a very good point there - maximumbob don't you think?

[23:22] yes glitsj16? [23:22] you need to activate the PHP module [23:22] r3l1c: problems with apache's config, if it's not set up to execute php it will just serve the file [23:22] daycreature: looks like a bug in the wifi driver (kernel) [23:22] ok... thanks [23:22] !bugs | daycreature [23:22] daycreature: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » If that fails, you can report bugs manually at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug - Bugs in/wishes for the bots can be filed at http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [23:22] so there is another php module to do PHTML ?

Paste it somewhere to verify it is in your clipboard. 3. Try to copy your error message. 4. Then press paste again and report what happens. Does it still have the original sentence or is it now blank? Also, see what "middle click" pastes [23:36] in my /var/log/auth.log i have periodic appearances of this: sudo: root : TTY=unknown ; PWD=/ ; USER=username ; COMMAND=/usr/bin/gconftool --get /system/http_proxy/port what does it mean?

[23:51] jrib: Ohh [23:51] heh [23:51] !paste [23:51] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic [23:51] epicreviews: I wouldn't recommend giving anyone on irc access to your computer [23:52] bucky, I got it from a friend, we were working on something, he encoded the .deb wrong. We all make mistakes, just trying to fix it [23:52] OK I have a DAP plugged in, and when i browse the folder it mounts too, it says in these obnoxiously huge bars "These files are on a Picture CD" and "These files are on a digital audio player" the first is wrong, the second is obvious heres a screen shot http://imagebin.org/56055 how do i get them to gtfa [23:52] jrib: they don't know my sudo password, so I'm good [23:52] #mac [23:52] sorry [23:52] epicreviews: in that case how would the person accomplish anything? [23:53] I would type the pass jrib... but only when it's safe to. [23:53] epicreviews: you're free to ignore my advice, but it's not a good idea [23:54] epicreviews: fwiw bruenig is a regular [23:54] jrib, it's either remote control or kill Ubuntu === Akkarin|B is now known as Akkarin [23:54] epicreviews: sudo rm -v /var/lib/dpkg/info/portos-archive-keyring* .. then do the same thing here sudo rm -v /var/cache/apt/archives/portos-archive-keyring* .. then go to synaptic and purge that program [23:54] epicreviews: I'd give remote a try if you like ... I am extremly fast at figuring things out [23:55] moymoy is ruining my fun [23:55] jrib! [23:55] bruenig: lol you're sshing his computer? [23:56] nah, I just ignored him when he said to remote, but still [23:56] moymoy your method failed as well [23:56] "no such file or directory" [23:56] for which command? [23:56] giggle [23:56] epic for which command? [23:56] http://paste.ubuntu.com/219366/ here are xorg.conf to help me reconfigurate mine ... 1st and 2nd are for the same hardware as me, 3rd is my xorg.conf but graphic part is bugged and the last one is another hardware setup xorg.conf but with mesa open source driver to help me reconfigurate my xorg.conf with that open source driver [23:57] epicreviews: for which command? [23:57] can you help me make a new xorg.conf that will work well ? [23:57] moymoy: BOTH [23:58] how are init.d scripts constructed? [23:58] StrangeCharm: with an editor [23:58] StrangeCharm: vim! [23:58] epicreviews: has to be in there if you installed with a deb [23:58] bucky- thanks for that :p is there a ref document for their structure [23:59] StrangeCharm: take a look at /etc/init.d/skeleton [23:59] moymoy... remember this isn't official and it went buggy [23:59] StrangeCharm: just take a look at the ones in /etc/init.d [23:59] should respond to start,restart,stop [23:59] maybe reload too? [23:59] who knows [23:59] bruenig- i obviously use xemacs, because it's a superior editor in every way :p [23:59] StrangeCharm: /etc/init.d/skeleton <<< this is an example [23:59] thanks jrib [23:59] * jrib regrets helping the heathen
