[01:05] but i have a quadcore cpu [01:06] dtownhero, I had similar problems, but they were part-time - it passed [01:06] arand: don't compile an older kernel, compile a new one [01:06] Socah, I need it for OpenGL 2.0 support, so I can play Heroes of Newerth [01:06] arand: set it up how you need it [01:06] Alek_86, then try to find older version of fglrx drivers, or newer - maybe this could help [01:06] in init.d scripts, what do required-start/stop and should-start stop do? what are their parameters, and what do those parameters do? [01:07] Socah, I'm hoping this will too ;-) it bounces between Xorg and init... with or without compiz on [01:07] hey...i just bult a web server, I didnt have the network params with i built the thing.(its a vmware machine) so i specified that i wanted to set up the network later. Now it seems as though there is no resolve.conf packages installed and i cant get dns working on the machine? [01:07] <^Phantom^> Sorry to be so off topic...but...for DSL, do I want the initrd.iso or the syslinux.iso or just dsl-4.4.10.iso ? [01:07] bruenig: thing is all newer versions introduce an error on this specific hardware which I hope to sidestep doing that... [01:07] StrangeCharm: required is the module(s) required to be loaded before starting or stopping the script. [01:07] Hi earlier I read up on Mono XSP and realized that it does not support *.asp files. Is there a way to port *.asp files used with windows IIS to linux? [01:07] !ot | ^Phantom^ [01:07] ^Phantom^: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [01:07] The networking is up and funtional, i can ip addresses on the outside... [01:07] StrangeCharm: modules or services. [01:07] arand: how do you know that [01:07] Socah, I have ATI 9600 card, I downgraded Xserver version to Intrepid one, and then installed 9.3 version of fglrx driver (in newer card is not supported) [01:08] i just cant get dns working..and when i look at the resolve.conf. well there isnt one. [01:08] hi people! how to make the backgroud of the menu panel transparent? [01:08] what packages do i need to install to get that... [01:08] Alek_86, had you fglrx out of a box? [01:08] ^Phantom^: #damnsmalllinux [01:08] like this one http://gnome-look.org/content/preview.php?preview=1&id=74813&file1=74813-1.jpg&file2=74813-2.jpg&file3=74813-3.jpg&name=Overglossed [01:08] grendal_prime, file name is resolv.conf [01:08] <^Phantom^> Thankies #Pici :D [01:09] <^Phantom^> Pici* [01:09] Socah, huh? I don't understand... [01:09] bruenig: from reading on bug reports on bugzilla/lp [01:09] Alek_86, fglrx doesn't come with ubuntu anymore [01:09] Alek_86, when you installed ubuntu, you had already fglrx support? Or you fallowed tutorial or whatever, to enable it [01:09] ya, its not there. Ive created it and put the nameserver entries in it..but its still not working [01:09] Alek_86, not even with restricted drivers, unless you're using 8.10 [01:09] well what i meant was that it "was'nt" there untelli created it. [01:10] dtownhero, so how to get "native" rendering with ati? any way without fglrx? [01:10] Socah, I followed tutorial to install 9.3 driver from ATI site on Jaunty [01:10] Socah, you can use fglrx but you have to install it yourself [01:10] you can't get it with restricted drivers anymore [01:10] frankly the drivers suck >.< [01:11] I'm a lifetime ATI fanboy but I switched to nvidia due to ati's terrible open source driver support [01:11] StrangeCharm: in ubuntu they still use the sysv links in rcx.d and can control preloading with the numbering, but in suse they no longer use such links and depend on the init script to specify what has to be done first [01:11] grendal_prime, package dhclient as far as I know [01:12] grendal_prime, 20 secounds in google, and you will be sure what package you need [01:12] so, th0r, in ubuntu, those segments are almost redundant? [01:12] hi can anyone help me?? i am having problems of loggin into my nix box.. i get to the login screen enter password and when i hit enter the login screen keeps poppin up [01:12] cool thanks [01:12] ya ive been digging....werid that doesnt come up [01:12] StrangeCharm: yes, but when I tried to use a plain old bash script it wouldn't work...kicked it out cause all that header info was missing [01:12] grendal_prime, I wroted as keywords resolv.conf ubuntu package - it came out on first site [01:13] ya Socah i did the same thing. Also there is no dhclient package that i can install. [01:13] anyone know how to stop mirc from telling me people leave the channel [01:13] there's too many messag3es [01:13] GhostWolf, could you copy your log on ubuntu.paste and then copy link there? Log of xorg.conf and gdm log [01:13] thats the problem im having [01:14] th0r- , so i should leave them in, but not sweat them too much? [01:14] Uh, everytime I spin my mouse wheel my desktop changes workstations and it's annoying the crap out of me cause I can't scroll through pages. how do i disable this binding in compiz? [01:14] Socah how can i get my log files if i can't get passed the login screen?? [01:14] StrangeCharm: right...I have one script that someone in suse was nice enough to help me with..wanted to mount a vm share automatically. I can pastebin it if you like [01:14] barqers: try #compiz-fusion for the specific setting, but you can also use ccsm's search [01:14] !ccsm | barqers [01:14] barqers: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion [01:15] jrib: thanks [01:15] grendal_prime: there is no *resolve.conf* there is however an /etc/resolv.conf [01:15] yes bucky and that is where i created mine. [01:15] barqers: Disable Viewport Switcher in ccsm [01:15] GhostWolf, terminal is your friend now, when you are at log-in screen type alt+F1 and there will be a terminal. Type your username, password. Then you can access logs, if you got connection to internet, paste it, or copy to exterlan usb drive [01:15] th0r- i have a bunch of reference scripts (an whole /etc/init.d full of them) i'm just writing one for software that i didn't write, so i'm not immediately sure of options, and need to cross-reference the full docs for both things [01:15] however if the package that reads that conf is not installed its pretty useless wich seems to be the case [01:16] Socah i'll try i have to leave in a few mins [01:16] sorry guys im more familiar with the straight up debian distro. Ive never seen it happen that the packages required for doing dns not get installed. [01:16] grendal_prime: do you have dhcp3-client installed? [01:16] jrib: The factoids could be updated now as the channel has changed name to #compiz [01:16] hi people! how to make the backgroud of the menu panel transparent? [01:16] like this one http://gnome-look.org/content/preview.php?preview=1&id=74813&file1=74813-1.jpg&file2=74813-2.jpg&file3=74813-3.jpg&name=Overglossed [01:16] GhostWolf, also [01:17] Socah when i hit alt+f1 nothing happens at the login screen [01:17] jrib: Of course, #compiz-fusion points to #compiz so.. yea [01:17] GhostWolf, you can use livecd [01:17] soreau: Thank you [01:17] GhostWolf, alt+ctrl+f1, my bad [01:17] Socah ok [01:17] barqers: You're welcome ;) [01:17] im a little confused as to which and where these packages may be..because (and this does not seem plausable) they do not appear to be on the install iso i have.ummm dhcp? i didnt install it because there is no dhcp server on this network. [01:17] !ccsm =~ s/compiz-fusion/compiz/ [01:17] I'll remember that jrib [01:17] soreau: thanks [01:17] hi everyone, Installed Ubuntu 9.04 to run SSHD, now Iḿ trying to add my public RSA key to thUbuntu remote box, but I cant because the .ssh folder [01:17] jrib: neat ;) [01:17] but yes the client is installed [01:18] grendal_prime, I'm searching, but as far as you don't got this file, and it still works... there is nothing to worry about :) [01:18] grendal_prime: in /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf uncomment and add you nameserver ip after prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1; just like debian [01:18] belongs to root, I know I can cahnge it with chown, but I was wondering [01:18] ok im there Socah how do i access the logs?? [01:18] kevor, [01:18] grendal_prime: then dhclient etho [01:18] if I should create another user and transfer my key to there [01:18] quick question... i have an old version of ubuntu live cd... doing a quick fsck on a hard drive and it just prings "fsck 1.40 wip 14-nov-2006) i'm trying sudo fsck sda2 [01:18] Socah: it doesnt work though [01:18] giiker: um, why does the .ssh folder belong to root? [01:18] GhostWolf, type "sudo nano /var/log/xorg.conf" [01:18] ok Socah [01:19] jrib: I dont know [01:19] GhostGum, type Xorg.conf, big letter [01:19] giiker: are permissions on everything else ok? [01:19] damn [01:19] not .conf [01:19] Socah: That will bring up a blank file.. either you meant /etc/X11/xorg.conf or /var/log/Xorg.0.log perhaps? [01:19] yes it is [01:19] I'm bit tired today [01:19] lol [01:19] http://paste.ubuntu.com/219411/ can you check it for me ? [01:19] so i typed it wrong?? lol [01:20] jrib: Yes, I already logged in with my password, now I want to use RSAAuthentication, but Iḿ just afraid of messing up the .ssh owner [01:20] cause it did come up with something but don't see it lol [01:20] giiker: .ssh should belong to the user, you should chown it back [01:20] GhostWolf, exit nano with ctrl+x, and type path to file, that soreau gave [01:20] hello there people and aliens, could someone be so kind as to point me in the direction of a good usenet program? [01:20] spikemcc, check for what? [01:20] um ok [01:20] * usser its sad that usenet is dead [01:20] spikemcc: line 33 I am seeing an extra zero in that line... could be a problem [01:21] jrib: Now that I remember I was playing with NX, maybe I did change something, Iĺl check my history. be back in 2... [01:21] Can anyone help? i have an old version of ubuntu live cd... doing a quick fsck on a hard drive and it just prings "fsck 1.40 wip 14-nov-2006) i'm trying sudo fsck sda2. did sudo fdisk =l to check the drive letters and its the right one. Can also access it from "my computer" [01:22] Socah gotta reboot will retry in a sec [01:22] GhostWolf, do you have a livecd? [01:22] GhostWolf, it will be much easier for you [01:22] wolfric: uh sudo fsck /dev/sda2 ??? [01:22] yea Socah but if its gonna take long time cause i gotta go in like 10 mins [01:23] maybe I'm trying to find a program for the wrong thing, isn't usenet the same as discussion groups? like google groups [01:23] GhostWolf, I think we can't do it so fast [01:23] fccf: the super block could not be read or does not sescribe a correct ext2 etc... [01:23] GhostWolf, you need to gain access to logs, give us a copy and then we can think what's wrong [01:23] sorry i'm not really that much in tune with linux [01:23] ok Socah [01:24] wolfric: the line you put in was .. sudo fsck sda2 ... or /dev/sda2??? [01:24] i put /dev/sda2 [01:25] <^menace^> anyone http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7622909#post7622909 [01:25] ok Socah got the livecd of my os i have in [01:25] wolfric: please be spacific in channel ... I look for errors before I give actual help [01:26] wolfric: what is the file type of the drive? ext3? ext4? [01:26] fccf: i just gave you the error... i wrote it out [01:26] menace your xorg.conf is the problem [01:26] fccf: i wrote what you told me to write instead and i produced the error it gave [01:26] but I cannot help you more than that sorry [01:27] mostly xorg and graphic driver bug [01:27] <^menace^> what direction do i head in?

I have emerald-theme-manager, too [01:28] ^menace^: can you get to a terminal by doing CTRL+ALT+F1 [01:29] wolfric: make sure the version of fsck you're using supports the actual filesystem used on your harddrive, otherwise if you specify a wrong filesystem, your harddrive will be screwed [01:30] wolfric: what filesystem is on your harddrive? [01:30] wolfric: I see you already watched Outlander! jeje [01:30] <^menace^> fccf, i dunno, ill dtry in a minute,, have to reboot, im in linux now, live cd wont work with my wireless modem so im in windows [01:30] moymoy:ntfs [01:30] giiker: outlander? o.O [01:31] progre55, open emarld theme manager then import then find the theme you downloaded make sure you untared it if it came as a tar file [01:31] <^menace^> did you mean while it has a black screen? [01:31] *emerald [01:31] ^menace^: yep [01:32] sebsebseb: im going for it [01:32] wolfric: try this `fsck -t ntfs /dev/sda2` .. and if NTFS isn't supported, it'll tell you [01:32] wolfric: thereś a character in that movie, I just thought, cause I just watched it... [01:32] ctmjr, and then how to apply the imported theme? [01:32] fsck: fsck.ntfs: not found [01:32] <^menace^> fccf: ill, tr ill be back [01:32] ill just recreate the box...thats easyer than this bs [01:32] progre55, click it then wait will take a minute to install [01:33] wolfric: so fsck doesn't support ntfs.. if you had gone and done a fsck reguardless, you would've screwed up your harddrive [01:33] need some help, compiling a new kernel to get xen working but no initrd file is being created and i cant find mkinitrd anywhere [01:33] ctmjr, but nothing is happening.. I still have the old theme installed through system> preferences> appearance [01:33] moymoy: do older versions support it? [01:34] wolfric: use the live disk and make sure ntfs-3g is installed [01:34] Doubt: Why Firefox is not auto-updating to 3.5? [01:34] fccf: i'm using the live cd atm. How do i check that? [01:34] just an old one [01:34] progre55, then you need to choose emerald as your theme manager [01:34] man initrd on mine gives the creation steps ... [01:34] !ff35 | trohs [01:34] trohs: Firefox 3.5 Final is available for Jaunty by installing the package firefox-3.5 | FF3.5 is referred to as Shiretoko on your UI, see http://is.gd/1reB3 for an explanation | Hardy & Intrepid: http://is.gd/1jkNY [01:34] wolfric: sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g [01:34] ctmjr, where do I choose it?

[01:36] ctmjr, yep [01:36] fccf nvm typo my bad [01:36] hey [01:36] wolfric: thought so [01:37] trying to create a raid using hardware in ubnut server can i get some help [01:37] if any kind of menu is open, I can't alt-tab until I close the menu (like the autocomplete dropdown in firefox's search field, or a right click menu) - is there a way to change this behavior? [01:37] couldn't find package ntfs-3g =( [01:37] progre55, download this and you can change it via gui sudo apt-get install fusion-icon [01:37] it's so annoying to have to hit escape before i can alt tab when im typing a search and need to see something in another window [01:37] tst_ : have you confirmed the hardware is fully supported? [01:38] One question about firefox. Is sun-java6-bin got firefox 3.0 as dependency only in ubuntu amd64? [01:38] fccf: ntfs-3g exact spelling.. [01:38] wolfric: can you download an ISO fron the last versions? [01:38] wolfric: yes... what version of ubuntu is your live disk [01:38] ? [01:38] yes asus board, it is supported it it , recongines the raid but doesnt show any partitions or mount points [01:39] i probably could but i've hardly ever used linux i'd be afraid that it'd throw me into even more problems just trying to use it. I'm on a live cd as well so anything i download has to be stored in the ram [01:39] <^Phantom^> Can I create an .img copy of the liveCD? [01:39] 7.04 [01:40] ctmjr, cool, thanks man, appreciate! ) [01:40] wolfric: that version is beyond support, so that makes things complicated [01:40] <^Phantom^> >_< [01:40] wolfric: 9.04 [01:40] progre55, no problem enjoy [01:40] <^Phantom^> I just spent an hour downloading the .iso for 8.04 LTS [01:40] tst: two things, does asus provide some config software, and two are the chips really asus or are they 3ware or something else packaged by asus [01:41] hold on let me see if i can grab a torrent of the latest version === RiverRat is now known as battle-maiden [01:41] <^Phantom^> But the device I'm intending to boot this on requires an .img file to boot... [01:41] wolfric: what exactly are you trying to acomplish,just check you HD,bad blocks? [01:41] * ^Phantom^ screams [01:41] basicly yes [01:41] my kernel version is 2.6.21 but I am not able to get the sources for this version, how else can I obtain the source, apt-get source linux-source-2.6.21 does not exist. Thanks. [01:41] i did a bad shutdown and have a blue screen on my hdd [01:41] asus server board, so not sure aobut chipsets..howevever im tihnking i might be missing a step or two is there any documentations on setting up hardware raid in ubuntu [01:42] if i use a patched xserver from a ppa (to solve some ati fglrx driver issues in jaunty) what are the implicated as newer versions of the xserver are released, and when KK comes out? [01:42] ohh ok! you might wanna use gparted then, that thing is better but you have to be careful not to destroy your partitions or anything else [01:42] hey people, i installed kde from the ppa with synaptic. if now i want PROPERLY remove it with apt-get/synaptic, how can i do? [01:42] I am struggling with display configuration. Is there a current guide online on how to set the screen size, refresh rate, etc.? [01:43] wolfric: i don't think older versions support it .. actually my fsck ver 1.41.4 doesn't support it [01:43] tst: could be. but usually if it'shardware raid, you are depending on the manufacturer to provide tools. sometimes it is a boot menu activated by a hot key before the os starts. then linux just sees a new drive and says oh goody a new drive. somtimes you need to download and create a boot disk and config the raid off that [01:43] hvgotcodes: depends really... It's customary to version packages in ppa's so that when a new version of the package hits the repositories, that one takes precedence [01:43] wolfric: check here : http://gparted.sourceforge.net/ [01:44] wolfrc: you will need to change every line in /etc/apt/sources.list to this http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ [01:44] wolfric: gotta go .. dinner; Good luck! [01:44] wolfric: whatÅ is the manufacturer of you HDD? [01:44] jrib, so it is up to the ppa maintainer to provide updated packages? [01:44] ok [01:44] What is the difference between the settings configured through 'System > 'Preferences' > 'Display' and the xorg config file? [01:44] hvgotcodes: yes [01:44] wolfric: then you will be able to install ntfs-3g [01:44] jrib, hmm ok [01:44] hvgotcodes: ideally the patches would get integrated into the repositories [01:44] gparted doesn't run checks does it though? [01:44] sudo apt-get reinstall - that's how to reinstall a package right? :D [01:44] giiker: no idea [01:44] i wonder if it is safe to upgrade....are you familiar with the issues some ati users are having? [01:45] wolfric: gparted does check disks ... but you need ntfs-3g first [01:45] ok hold on let me try follow those instructions above [01:46] Hey. Not really an Ubuntu-question, but I'll still try asking here. My laptop wont start. Three lights are on for a couple of seconds, and the harddrive starts spinning and then everything dies. [01:46] hmm true [01:46] tying that real quick post [01:46] sin, ask in hardware [01:46] fccf: actually he only needs to burn the iso and run it, gparted will check his HDD for anything bad: here:http://gparted.sourceforge.net/features.php [01:46] fccf: i'm not sure i understand the "change ever line to this" what am i supposed to be changing it to in that directory? [01:47] will gnome only align icons to the left or can it be set to align to the right? [01:47] sin: sounds like the battery is toast. to make it a linux issue, download a bootable cd on another system and try booting off that, you can then see if your hardware is ok [01:47] jrib, what about when the xserver issue is resolved and i want to go back to the official package? is it as simple as removing the repo, refreshing, and removing orphaned packages? [01:47] sinus_: it might be a fan, fried motherboard, fried cpu [01:47] any noises you hear? [01:47] wolfric: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [01:47] hvgotcodes: no, the version in the repositories has to be greater than your current version [01:47] hvgotcodes: doing what you said will eventually work [01:47] yes but what do i put in there... that link gives me dists/indicies/ls-lr.gz/pool/project [01:48] jrib, i think the ppa version is older version than the official package [01:48] hvgotcodes: then apt should prefer the official package automatically [01:48] ooooooo [01:48] i see [01:48] so i will have to restrain myself to avoid getting the new version [01:49] wolfric: if you type my last command ... this will open an editor with the sources.list file ... which you can change to the oldreleases server so you can then access updates [01:50] oh sorry i thought you ment i was to add the contents of that address in [01:50] rather then the address itself [01:50] <^menace^> anybody elase?http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7622909#post7622909 [01:51] wolfric: does that explain itself? [01:51] <_Apple_> Ubuntu isn't recognizing my volume special keys any more and ideas? [01:51] ^menace^: did u try with wesa in xorg.conf as a starting point of ur investigation?

Just change the url of the server and leave the rest [01:55] ok i changed the first 2 with the deb and deb-scr... tried apt-get but still package not found [01:55] hmm it recognizes and can do raid 0, and raid 1 however no raid 5, what could be the error [01:56] invalid credenrials?

I have all repo's enabled in jaunty? would you have a command to run for using sox because I am not sure how to configure sound juicer or anything else on how to use it with sox. [02:14] i guess no one else gets a quick flash of a screen full of input/out errors right when their ubuntu 9.04 installtion comes to an end and they hit enter to reboot [02:14] is there an Ubuntu DVD we can install from?

[02:15] ok, i'll ask another question then. what bootloader does ubuntu 9.04 install by default? [02:15] mazda01: oops, sox is installed by default... open a terminal and type man sox [02:15] thomson: can you paste in the pastebin your errors [02:15] gartral, ok [02:15] !grub | thomson [02:15] thomson: 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 [02:15] ZivBk1, I figured it out, I just tapped the button a few times and it popped out, lol [02:15] queso, Turn the printer on and wait for the green ready light. [02:16] Press the Go button three times within 2 seconds. The printer will print the current printer settings page. [02:16] thomson: GRUB [02:16] gartral: how come it doesn't have grub written anywhere on the screen when the bootloader loads? [02:16] ZivBk1, but now I have a new problem, the IP address that is assigned to it is unreachable. It's not 127.0.0.x [02:16] queso, yes that should do it... [02:16] good job queso [02:17] Here is the link to the manual for that printer... http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public/us/us/en/doc/manual_index.html?reg=us&c=us&lang=en&prod=hl2070n_all&type2=5&flang=English&dlid= [02:17] any documentation available for installing lustre on ubuntu jaunty? [02:17] giiker, thx :) lol [02:17] queso: what is the address? [02:17] gartral: it just gives me a choice of the OS, doesn't show any grub logo [02:17] giiker, 169.254.206.246 [02:17] gartral, WOW. that's the biggest man page I have ever opened. also, there are no examples. i think I am just going to use dd and then use a nautilus script to convert the music to mp3 and fill out the tags using amarok tag guesser. [02:18] queso: it might have that adress because you dont have DHCP on your PC, did you tried connecting it to a switch? [02:18] gartral: so what bootloader would that be? [02:18] ZivBk1, thx [02:19] giiker, the printer is connected physically to my box via ethernet. I guess I don't have DHCP (I'm wading in deep waters here, lol, b/c I don't exactly know how all this works) [02:20] queso, you get addresses that start with 169 when you don't connect to the internet properly and there is no dhcp server serving you an ip address [02:20] mazda01, oooh, okay, that explains the address then [02:20] queso, the user manual covers this area. Take a look at it and it should help get you sorted. [02:20] gartral: mine looks like this http://tugulab.files.wordpress.com/2008/02/grub_prima.png but without grub written at the top [02:21] queso, what is the ip of you actual computer? can't you hook up the printer via usb or parrellel> [02:21] gartral: so how do i know it's grub? [02:21] ZivBk1, I will do that, thank you [02:21] well i've been talking to myself because he's gone [02:21] lol [02:21] mazda01, the ip of my computer is 75.57.xxx.xx [02:22] queso: ah? rally you mean?n no router? [02:22] really? [02:22] mazda01, additionally, it's an old printer that has been connected to my OS X laptop, I just built a linux machine and now I'm trying to get it to work on here. Unfortunately, I don't remember if it came with a USB cable or not [02:22] queso, no problem. [02:23] giiker, I'm on the internet via wireless router in the other room. The printer and computer are in the same room and physically wired together [02:23] giiker: how do i get those errors so i can paste them, does it log them somewhere? [02:23] What is the difference between the settings configured through 'System > 'Preferences' > 'Display' and the xorg config file? [02:24] queso: oh ok [02:24] you might try installing DHCP, but you will have to configure it [02:25] queso: dhcpd [02:25] giiker, originally (like 3-4 years ago) I thought I'd be able to print wirelessly to the printer [02:25] I have a small problem with a specific wine application. Anyone know where I would go for that? [02:25] #winehq [02:25] Wrin: #winehq [02:25] Thanks [02:25] they will yell at you, it will be funny [02:25] giiker, how hard is it to configure dhcpd? is it necessary to get the printer to work? [02:26] How can I recover a prtition which is now unallocated space and it wasn't formatted or used ?? [02:26] giiker: the errors during install flashed on the screen too fast, so is there a log somewhere? === default is now known as acad [02:26] you actually can, you share your printer first (it were connected through a USB or anything else) and you would see the printer in the lan or a a resourced from the connected box [02:26] sprinkle it with fairy dust [02:27] thomson: can you boot with a live cd? [02:27] queso, you'll need to setup a dhcp server on your linux computer if you want to be able to print over an ethernet wire to your printer. At least I am pretty sure you will. [02:27] mohammed510, being lazy, I'd use a boot CD (hirens, or UBCD or something) [02:27] why would you need dhcpd? [02:28] can't the printer have a static IP? [02:28] giiker: i can boot into the install of ubuntu fine, but i just wanted to know what the errors during install were [02:28] <_Apple_> any one available to take a look at my xorg and help me figure out what's wrong? [02:28] anyone want to help a brotha out setting up a mail server? I can't telnet into port 25 (no firewall or connection issues... and it's local) [02:28] or just be shared via a real host, lpr or something [02:28] he can access, somehow, the web interface on the printer, or you already can chees? [02:28] cor : This partition had important data which I want to recover it [02:28] Bogus8 is the service enabled? [02:28] cor : How can I recover the partition with the important data in it ?? [02:28] giiker, I can't already access it for some reason with the IP the settings sheet gave me [02:29] cor: I've restarted so many services related to it all it HAS to be... or so I would think [02:29] if I want Firefox 3.5, will I have to download it from the web site? [02:29] thomson, get a camera and take a pic, maybe you are just saying normal mesgs, not errors [02:29] mohammed see my earlier response. in truth, I've never had to do it purely in Linux, so I'd plump for an easy GUI tool from one of the abovementioned boot CDs [02:29] giiker: it was a quick flash of input/output error [02:30] giiker: couldn't see the whole message, went too fast [02:30] _Apple_: on a macbook?

[02:32] cor: seems to stall out... doesn't respond (give me 220 msg's or anything)... then I break it and quit [02:32] _Apple_: that one should run out of the box with the 'new' driver [02:32] !medibuntu | lowlycoder [02:32] lowlycoder: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [02:32] cor: it is physically attached to my linux box via ethernet cable [02:32] thomson: system log viewer [02:32] cor: I was able to telnet into pop3 (I'm following this guide) http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual-users-domains-postfix-courier-mysql-squirrelmail-ubuntu8.04-p4 [02:32] queso: NP [02:32] <_Apple_> I"m trying to set up Separate X Screens though fccf [02:33] _Apple_ Have you installed nvidia-settings?

[02:44] Asday: pauses for 21600 seconds, then redirects the content of the file /kernel into the device file /dev/audio. Although, I am pretty sure no such file as /kernel exists [02:44] Bogus8: was something about "let it go" unclear? [02:44] Asday: it would wait a very long time and then break audio\ [02:44] Thanks Bruenig and Gartral. [02:44] anybody here use btrfs? [02:44] trying to figure out how to snapshot [02:44] mneptok: apparently to him it was... I said not another word all this time all the while he just kept on spouting off at the mouth [02:44] to everyone [02:45] Hey guys, arguing in this channel is pretty cool [02:45] StrangeCharm: I edited my sssh_config file to uncoment RSAAuthentication, but the only way to login is by using my password, I have my keys setup and in the correct files too [02:45] _Apple_: when you load you will not have both screens running exactly the way you'd expect ... it is not until X loads ... which is the last time your screen goes black will you have both screens after that... not before... you have jaunty? [02:45] Bogus8: let it go. meaning you. clear? [02:45] My laptop won't connect to my mother's wireless. It hangs on "Obtaining IP address." Help? [02:46] StrangeCharm: I can login using my passwd only, I also tried the verbose option but there is nothing there [02:46] giiker what client are you using? [02:46] Howdy.. will KMS work with Nvidia graphics ship in jaunty? === root is now known as Guest94289 [02:46] mneptok: well, someone should do something about the annoyance in the room... if that now includes me then so be it... I'll disagree but obviously I'm not in charge here. [02:47] Andorin: your not giving alot of info: like does it connect elsewhere... is your mom's AP encrypted; if so, what type of encryption? [02:47] <_Apple_> fccf, I'm running Hardy [02:47] StrangeCharm: ssh on a console in bash [02:47] Bogus8: you see me talking to him. that's your cue to step aside. please do. [02:47] gartral: Yes, it normally connects to networks. No encryption. [02:47] what channel can i get just the very basic help for UBUNTU--brand new user [02:47] Guest94289: It is extremly unwise to run any irc client as root... currently you are operating in this mode... reccommending logging out and logging on as a user before running internet apps [02:47] muptmor: here [02:47] giiker what's your login command? [02:47] muptmor: this is it [02:48] StrangeCharm: I'm using a VM in VirtualBox [02:48] Andorin: are you trying to connect useing encryption (even though the AP isn't encrypted)? [02:48] gartral: It also does this with the wireless at a library, and I think someone once said something about "dhcp problem" being the cause. [02:48] gartral: No. [02:48] looks to me like a bunch of whining [02:48] how do i need to edit ubuntu's menu.lst to boot a test freebsd install i put on the first partition of my harddrive? [02:48] muptmor- ask and ye might recieve [02:48] StrangeCharm :StrangeCharm: ssh user@remotehost [02:48] muptmor: well, some people come in here to do that. But we try to keep it clean. [02:48] _Apple_: then restarting the X server will be easier ... use CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE to kill your x server after an nvidia-settings save X will then use the new config ... save your work!!! [02:48] Andorin: ok... do you have any rules set up in your psk_supplicant file? [02:48] giiker- where are your keys? [02:49] gartral: Never accessed it, so I assume no? [02:49] Andorin: can you request an IP from the AP? [02:49] StrangeCharm: my keys are in /home/user/.ssh/ [02:49] !ask | muptmor ask already [02:49] muptmor ask already: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [02:49] gartral: How would I do that? [02:50] giiker- loking something up, one sec [02:50] Andorin: hold on, lemme check [02:50] _Apple_: you won't have to do a complete reboot to test settings [02:50] StrangeCharm: and on the remote host, my public one is on the same place [02:51] StrangeCharm: my configuration works with another remote box [02:51] Pici: Hmm, I followed the install directions from the firefox website, and extracted to /opt. In the folder Firefox, there is a script called firefox, and the web sites says to invoke the script with ~/firefox. Would I need to change the launcher to get this script to run everytime? [02:51] can anyone tell me how to assign Hibernate to a specific key? I looked in Keyboard Shortvuts but the hibernate option is not there [02:51] MoreGone: xbindkeys [02:51] bruenig, is that an app i can install? [02:51] MoreGone: it is [02:51] bruenig, perfect thanks [02:51] mhmm [02:52] you should have acceptable public keys on the server in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on the server, per http://unixhelp.ed.ac.uk/CGI/man-cgi?ssh+1 [02:52] StrangeCharm: let me double check [02:52] Andorin: when you go to add a network, select Wireless, Add, and go to the IPv4 Settings tab, select Manual in the Method drop and type in "standard" ip that matches the base scheme of the network [02:52] gartral, dd states that there is no Medium found. [02:54] <_Apple_> fccf, I don't I just restart the X server [02:55] gartral: I know the settings you refer to, but I'm not sure how to access them on my laptop. I normally get there by right-clicking the connection icon in the tray, but the only one there is the wicd icon. [02:55] _Apple_: ctrl-alt-backspace is the quicker way [02:55] i am trying to extract the audio files from a badly damaged audio cd. anyone have any thoughts. dd can't even see the medium. [02:55] mazda01: sox -d /dev/cdrom -t wav /path/to/where/you/want [02:55] <_Apple_> 'tis what I do, fccf lol [02:55] Andorin: right click Panel, add to panel, network manager [02:55] StrangeCharm: after being cleared by you I found my mistake, I had it wrong [02:56] _Apple_: xinerama needs to be enabled btw [02:56] giiker- ftw, no doubt [02:56] gartral: ....nope, not listed in the Add to Panel menu. [02:56] _Apple_: or is it twinview ... I forget which one's which [02:56] gartral, WOW. no medium found. it's useless. the cd is ruined I guess. [02:56] Andorin: gartral: The network manager applet shows up in the "Notification Area" applet [02:57] StrangeCharm: do you think I have to stop sshd so that it reads/finds again my keys? [02:57] mazda01: yea.. sorry [02:57] i cant see the other partitions on my harddrive [02:57] bruenig, due you happen to know the command for hibernate? [02:57] gartral, thanks for helping me though. [02:57] MoreGone: no [02:57] giiker- i would guess that a reliable and quick way to find out is to onpen a new terminal and try to log in [02:57] edbian: Thanks. [02:57] MoreGone: is it sleep? [02:57] mazda01: your welcome, sorrry your CD is destroyed [02:58] edbian, gartral: Apparently it doesn't want to add it. I click Add and nothing happens. [02:58] <_Apple_> I've tried enameled and disabled numerous times and nothing, I'm just trying to get my xorg to update when I make adjustments, fccf [02:58] fccf, no clue [02:58] can ubuntu be loaded on a Raq4i ? [02:58] hey people, i installed kde 4.3.0 rc2 from the ppa with synaptic, how can i remove it complitely and properly? [02:58] giiker- i would also guess that it reads the keys on a per-login basis [02:58] StrangeCharm: it still asks for my passwd, I guess I will have to stop tehn restart it [02:58] edbian, gartral: Never mind, it's adding. Just an empty space, though, it seems. [02:58] _Apple_: you can check to see if it is making changes by using gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf ... gedit will tell you when it changes [02:58] giiker, guess i'm wrong [02:59] StrangeCharm: aaaaaaahhh, I will reboot then, to make sure! [02:59] giiker - that is definately overkill [02:59] giiker- and a definately advise against it unless you are in the same room as the server [03:00] Okay... nope, I see nothing. No network manager applet. [03:00] <_Apple_> fccf, thats the thing I've been doing that and it'll say it's been saved and I'll restart the x server and nothing seems to have changed and I'll reopen xorg,conf and none of the changes I made are there [03:00] <_Apple_> :/ [03:00] StrangeCharm: jaja, no likely itś just a VM,I was trying NoMachine [03:00] Overkill n: too apply such destructive force as it would seem the outcome would be enough to eradicate or oblitorate an enemy 2 or more times over synonym: superkill, hyperdeath [03:00] giiker, well, then, feel free to, but i still think that sudo /etc/init.d/sshd restart will suffice [03:00] _Apple_: ls /etc/X11/ and see how whats there and when it changed [03:01] gartral: funny that your choice of dictionary misspells "obliterate" [03:01] I have two monitors working in twinview, any ideas how to get two more working? They are detected just not enabling. [03:01] mneptok: that would just be my lousy paws [03:01] <_Apple_> fccf, ok....there is a bunch of stuff [03:02] So, gartral, apparently that app will not add. [03:02] _Apple_: rename one of the newer ones to xorg.conf [03:02] Andorin: erm.. your problem is deeper... [03:02] jeruvy: using nvidia-settings? [03:03] Fantastic! Why does this always happen? [03:03] fccf: yup [03:03] jeruvy: and running as root? [03:03] Can you use wget to download all the images off a website ? [03:03] Stanley: yes [03:03] bruenig, dude thanks, I am rocking now. Little help from you a little google and I am set, appreciate it [03:03] StrangeCharm: I know that would have worked, but somehow, it threw an error saying the command does not exist,strange [03:04] mhmm [03:04] did you cd in there to check giiker? [03:04] mneptok: know what the command would be? [03:05] Stanley: http://www.delorie.com/gnu/docs/wget/wget_31.html [03:05] StrangeCharm: wau this is wierder, not there [03:06] giiker- how did you install sshd? [03:06] gartral: so.. what do I do? [03:06] fccf: no, I checked the modifications and manually added them. No errors but no displays [03:06] StrangeCharm: Sypnaptic [03:06] Jeruvy: no errors in xorg.log ??? [03:06] StrangeCharm: it's still checked on the services tab [03:06] mneptok: what if you don't know what directory the images are stored in? [03:07] Jeruvy: pastebin your xorg.conf please [03:07] giiker- might be called ssh, not sshd [03:07] Jeruvy: how many GPU's? [03:08] fccf: 2, I can post the xorg. one sec. [03:08] Jeruvy: and you had the first 2 screens running on the first GPU right? [03:09] fccf: yes working ok [03:09] ?irc [03:09] irc? [03:09] wrong channel <.< [03:09] StrangeCharm: I just tried /etc/init.d/sshd start, and an error says there's a bad config in line 78, I guess I did messed it up now! [03:09] StrangeCharm: I just tried /etc/init.d/ssh start [03:10] Hey guys. I just made a persistent ubuntu install on a usb drive. It installed syslinux as the boot loader. how can I add an entry to that menu to load grub from that same flash drive (to load hiren's boot cd) [03:10] Jeruvy: post that and give me about 10-15 min ... I have a quick errand to run ... while I cannot type on my phone ... I can listen so I will see your progress [03:10] connect irc.gamesurge.net [03:12] fccf: sure np, I was on the phone also (hence my slow replies..) get back to me when you can thx. http://pastebin.ca1496521 [03:13] StrangeCharm: I just got an error saying error bad config AllowX11Forwarding [03:13] can anyone help me chain load grub from syslinux or syslinux from grub? [03:14] Andorin: im not really sure, sorry :/ [03:14] jeruvy: bad link [03:15] giiker- have you looked in your config file? [03:16] fccf: oops sorry, http://pastebin.ca/1496521 [03:16] giiker: in my /etc/ssh/sshd_config it's 'X11Forwarding yes' [03:16] <_Apple_> fccf, is it normal to have 46 different xorg.conf files? [03:17] StrangeCharm: fixed it, itÅ's running now, but I guess I will have to change the config file everytime I want to run NXserver [03:17] losher: I had that configured to be able to run NX Server, now I don't know if it will... [03:17] giiker- you could just run two instances, with different confs? [03:17] _Apple_: and how new are they? [03:18] StrangeCharm: I haven't gotten that far yet, but I'll try it [03:18] is there a CLI utility for taking screenshots of the entire desktop or the window w/focus? gnome-snapshot gets you halfway: it is possible to take the snapshot from the command line, but it pops up a window for selecting the output file. a gnome-snapshot with a --output option would do what I need. Anybody knows of anything that does this? Thx [03:18] <_Apple_> fccf, a few days [03:18] StrangeCharm: I Wonder i i can run NX server and sshd at the same time i [03:19] Jeruvy: let's see an lspci ... hint if you install pastebinit -(tiny program) you can do lspci | pastebinit ... and it will automatically post it for you ... works with any file [03:19] homovitruvius- i don't know what you need, but seem to recall seeing something like that in the linux screenshots on deviantart.com you might want to look at some of those, and see what command they use [03:19] StrangeCharm: it stillasks for a password and not a passphrase! [03:20] giiker- has it already worked once? [03:20] hi all...are there drivers for the ati mobile 9700 to get the 3D effects? [03:20] mazda01: im a re-re... try sox -r 44100 -d -t cdda /path/to/where/you/like/music [03:20] do you mean on the server side? on my client side, I think everything it's fine, because I connected already to another remote box [03:21] _Apple_: guessing, nvidia has been saving, sometimes breaking things, and dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg is taking over and screwing things up .. again making yet another backup... find a good one and save it to xorg.conf ... and you might be seeing double ... if you know what I mean [03:21] can anyone tell me how to install grub to a usb drive? I want to replace syslinux on the persistent usb install I made [03:21] StrangeCharm: do you mean on the server side? on my client side, I think everything it's fine, because I connected already to another remote box [03:22] fccf: http://pastebin.ca/1496527 [03:22] giiker- no, i mean have you ever succeeded at this connection? [03:22] StrangeCharm: I connected before but using my password only [03:22] Hey, vino-server isn't starting when I check the necessary boxes in vino-preference... what could be causing this? [03:23] <_Apple_> fccf, so would it be acceptable to remove the other xorg.conf files, like with out messing anything up? [03:23] giiker- are the publick key files on the server: 1) named correctly, 2) in the right place for the user, and 3) you're sure of 1 and 2 ? [03:23] StrangeCharm: I've just found scrot, and it seems to do what I need [03:25] Jeruvy: you're missing a bunch of stuff monitor2... moniter3 etc ... see also http://www.pastebin.ca/1496531 ... twinview 2 &3 [03:26] ah i got it [03:26] _Apple_ everything but the one that works [03:26] wget --mirror -A.jpg,.gif,.png http://www.site.com [03:27] gartral, some progress. here's what it returned. sox formats: can't open output file `/var/lib/mythtv/tmp/': Is a directory [03:27] fccf: ah I figured I might be :) let me take a peek. [03:27] homovitruvius- winnage [03:27] StrangeCharm: yeap,restarting right now to see if it works... [03:29] StrangeCharm: it again asked for my passwd [03:29] is it possible to chainload grub from syslinux? [03:29] hum... I guess it's time to configure xchat not to join your channel on startup ;) [03:31] mazda01: i.. really.. need.. coffee before trying to help people, lol, try cdparinioa as a command [03:31] Got a cosmetic question. How can I get rid of the curvy arrow emblem in the upper right hand corner on the icons of links? [03:31] giiker- and you're sure that the keys are named right and in the right places? [03:31] StrangeCharm: yeap, [03:32] lindzeyn: that shows that it is a link ... if you want to change that ... change the icon /usr/share/icons/theme/size/icon [03:32] giiker- and your client is definately telling the server that it wants to use keys? [03:32] is there just a null or empty icon that I can swap in for it? [03:32] yeas. because I already connected to another remote box using keys [03:33] <_Apple_> fccf: what about the failsafe and backup files? should I keep any of those? [03:33] lindzeyn: look in the font folder for the theme you are using and in each size folder copy the non arrow one to the arrow one [03:34] _Apple_: those are technically the same thing... old config files .. different program writing them [03:34] <_Apple_> ok thanks, fccf [03:35] anyone know how to access mac user files on ubuntu? [03:35] giiker- also, have you read the ssh and sshd man pages? [03:35] StrangeCharm: that's what I'm doing right now [03:35] crasx1: what do you want to do... the apple user system is still unix [03:36] im trying to recover the files under /users but i dont see my profile, is there some protection? [03:37] crasx1: give me a min ... I am going to go look on a mac [03:37] <_Apple_> I also have an xorg.conf.failsafe.bak and an xorg.conf.save [03:37] fccf: someone in aother room said Linux and its derivatives can't reliably handle HFS Extended (Journaled)... but i see everything else [03:37] <_Apple_> delete as well? fccf [03:39] _Apple_: yep... I have none of those files [03:39] <_Apple_> alright, thanks a ton fccf, sorry for all the questions [03:40] _Apple_: no problem ... just helping with the #ubuntu support workload [03:41] can i copy my firefox profile folder and use it in aonther computer? [03:41] owen1: yes [03:41] owen1: Yes! [03:41] thanks [03:41] fccf, do you know where a completely transparent .svg is sitting in a typical ubuntu install? [03:41] owen1: Wanna know how? :) [03:41] I am looking for an icon to supplant the sym link icon [03:41] edbian: cp ./mozzila/firefox [03:42] owen1: Yep! [03:42] Anyone have suggestions on how to get my Eee 1005HA to recognize either the wireless or wired ethernet connections? [03:42] :S [03:42] owen1: Why did you ask if you know how to do it? [03:42] Google Chrome for Linux [03:42] http://dev.chromium.org/getting-involved/dev-channel [03:42] crasx1: do you have hfsplus and hfsprogs and hfsutils .... you might want these ... two of which are in main and officially supported ... why wouldn't it work? [03:42] edbian: i was guessing. never did it. [03:42] Hey guys, I'm trying to get grub to boot into windows xp. I'm not very familiar with grub, so I was wondering if someone could help me through the process [03:42] owen1: OIC [03:42] how can I get rid of the second view space [03:43] I have ubuntu installed, and windows on a separate partition. [03:43] hey guys, im trying to partition my hard drive, but gparted wont work too well, it keeps crashing [03:43] akore, right click on it, Preferences, change to 1 [03:44] SeaPhor: thanks [03:44] Hi [03:44] Anyone knows how can i expand my casper-rw file WITHOUT losing all my changes? [03:44] can Ubuntu Server Jaunty be installed from a USB stick anyone know? [03:44] HotShowers: yes [03:44] yes i did from a 4gb usb flash drive [03:44] HotShowers, yes [03:44] lindzeyn: like I said they are all in /usr/share/icons/THEMENAME/iconXsize/icon [03:45] StrangeCharm: are you still there? [03:45] HotShowers: yes [03:45] whats the advantages of making a diff. partition for your home folder [03:45] is there a way to prevent windows from maximizing on the netbook remix? [03:45] !usb | HotShowers [03:45] HotShowers: 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 [03:46] anyone here has ever created swap partition on different disk to speed up performance? [03:46] Is there a detialed tutorial on how I can ftp to my ubuntu machine ? [03:46] giiker- sometimes i feel like i never leave [03:46] bobo: When you update you can install over the old / instead of going through the sometimes broken upgrade procedure. [03:46] bobo: If you really screw things up you can reinstall without losing you data [03:46] Anyone knows how can i expand my casper-rw file WITHOUT losing all my changes? [03:46] is anyone experience the message "starting up ..." with hang after grub [03:46] StrangeCharm: jeje, I finally fixed, [03:46] I realize this fccf. I am just wondering if I am going to have to sift through all those icons just to find a trivial transparent one. [03:46] bobo: You can have multiple OS's mount the same /home [03:46] giiker- did you work out what was wrong? [03:46] ooh. [03:47] bobo, when you fresh install the next distro, you have your stuff, if you mess up your system, you still have your stuff, many more [03:47] how do i tell what kernel im running? [03:47] well thats actually not my problem atm. gparted is acting screwey and wont make me a new partition [03:47] to tell what kernel type ' uname -a ' [03:47] bobo you can also easily and independantly encrypt it without general system slowdown [03:47] hey people, i've installed kde 4.3.0 rc2 from the ppa with synaptic, how can i unistalled it completely and properly, with apt-get/synaptic? [03:47] ty [03:47] howie, uname -a [03:47] bobo: What do you mean screwy? Are you using gparted on a a live CD? [03:47] lindzeyn: oh that arrow thing is an icon by itself then ... use a vector graphics editor to make a transparency [03:48] StrangeCharm: yeap, I had my authorized_keys file named authorized_keys2. I had read that the number 2 was a hint for SSH V. 2 [03:48] howie: You can run system monitor too [03:48] darkhamm- sudo apt-get remove then sudo apt-get autoremove [03:48] edbian: yeah, like im trying to make a 12gb partition for xp (games) and when it checks for errors gparted crashes [03:48] fccf: thanks [03:48] hola [03:48] after 5 min + of checking for errors that is [03:48] bobo: It crashes?? [03:48] yeah [03:48] it crashes [03:48] giiker- it's always the small things [03:48] Anyone knows how can i expand my casper-rw file WITHOUT losing all my changes? [03:48] huy guys [03:49] giiker- actually, i lie, it's always either a small or an expensive thing [03:49] is there a way to make phpmyadmin interpret textual blob fields? [03:49] bobo: So you have 12gb of "unallocated" space? Or are you trying to shrink a partition or what? [03:49] Drknezz.. how long have you been running on the live disk? [03:49] bobo: Please confirm: this is gparted on ubuntu 9.04 live cd ? [03:49] fccf: I bet I could just rename that .svg file to something else and I could get away with it [03:49] StrangeCharm: thanks again, now Igoing to try to run NX and sshd at the same time on the same box, see yeah! [03:49] fccf: im running on it atm [03:49] yeah it says unallocated, and i guess i am shrinking it cuz thats what it says [03:49] fccf: ok I think I got it...a bit funky lookin' :) [03:49] fccf: but i can reboot into hd install if needed [03:50] like im going from 160gb to 148gb partition and 12 gb partition [03:51] StrangeCharm: as long as I can fixe it GPLly no problem... [03:51] bobo: OK thank you :) So you first shrink 160GB to 148GB which will leave 12 unallocated. Then step 2 is to format the unallocated space to make a 2nd partition. Is this correct? [03:51] fccf: does it matter how much time i've been running on it? [03:51] jaggz-: who or w [03:51] yeah. i guess [03:51] where is the default openjdk "jre" folder installed to in ubuntu? [03:51] do i have to format it? [03:51] or can i just let windows do that [03:51] Drknezz: the live disk wasn't designed for persistance ... and the casper-rw space is limited to how much ram and other resources are available , so no ...but in the installed version ubuntu doesn't use a loop like that [03:52] fccf: ask the guys over at pendrivelinux :S [03:52] bobo: To use the space it must be formatted. Yes [03:52] Oh, ok so that might be my problem [03:52] But first lets worry about why gparted can't shrink your partition. Is this partition NTFS? Do you have windows installed on it? [03:52] no, pure linux [03:52] fccf: can you see any glaring issues (I have one wierd one atm) http://pastebin.ca/1496552 [03:52] and its ext3 [03:52] bobo: ic [03:53] StrangeCharm: see, now I can't connect to NX [03:53] bobo: Does this system have only 1 harddrive with 1 (160GB) partition right now? [03:53] well like im trying to shrink it (all in gparted) when its unallocated, is that why it couldn't have worked maybe? [03:53] giiker- what's it complaining of? [03:53] yes, one hard drive, 160gb [03:53] Jeruvy: only 3 screens? [03:53] and some swap space [03:53] wich is like 5gb [03:53] bobo: Ultimately. What are you trying to do? Why are you shrinking this partition? [03:54] to put xp on it to do things like print and play games [03:54] fccf: ideally I wanted one twinview and two normal x windows..I have two twin screens with two desktops.? [03:55] where is the default openjdk "jre" folder installed to in ubuntu? [03:55] bobo: Ok. Couple of things :). 1) 5 GB is huge (and most would argue unnecessarily large for swap space). It is difficult to install windows after linux and dual boot because windows messes with the MBR. Lastly. I believe your harddrive to have an error on it because gparted is crashing. [03:56] edbian: is it worth bobo doing an fsck? [03:56] bobo: Let's check the partition for errors first. Do you know the /dev name? [03:56] phenix: That's what I was about to get into with him :) [03:56] /dev/sda1 [03:56] Anyone knows how can i expand my casper-rw file WITHOUT losing all my changes? [03:56] edbian- 5gb? depends how much ram you have [03:56] bobo: Run in a terminal: "sudo e2fsck /dev/sda1" [03:56] ok [03:56] StrangeCharm: I know but 5Gb is quite large [03:57] hi there! [03:57] edbian, not if you have 3 or 4 gigs of ram [03:57] i have 2 [03:57] !flash [03:57] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [03:57] haha i forgot, im not on the live CD right now [03:57] bobo: Gigs of ram? [03:57] yeah [03:57] Jeruvy: you haven't defined DFP:0 or 1 ... uh ... there is alot going on here and it will take some time to get things nice .... consider running nvidia-settings and saving a config to home/desktop and see how close you are [03:57] StrangeCharm: it says NX service not available [03:57] !mp3 [03:57] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [03:57] bobo: That is why you cannot alter your partitions! you can't alter partitions you're mounted on silly! [03:57] giiker- well, is the nx service available? [03:58] where is the default openjdk "jre" folder installed to in ubuntu? [03:58] no, no [03:58] bobo: no no? [03:58] i was trying to do gparted on the live cd [03:58] bobo: oh I c [03:58] StrangeCharm: what do you mean with "kde blah blah blah" i must type all the packages's name? [03:58] i was just trying to do fcsk my non livecd [03:58] bobo, edbian well, 5gb sounds quite reasonable to me, especially if he ever plans to hibernate [03:58] hold on [03:58] bobo: Reboot and run the command and come back here :) [03:59] i have successfully installed jaunty on a dell optiplex 320, but when grub run the kernel, i get a black screen, does someone know how to solve the issue ? [03:59] fccf: yup thats what I'm doing. Ubuntu looks good on the plasma :) thanks for your help I'm going fiddle some more. [03:59] StrangeCharm: I hibernate all the time with my 1GB swap (and 1GB of RAM) [03:59] darkhamm- no, just the main kde package, hopefully, then autoremove will remove all the things that only kde needed [03:59] ok be back soon [03:59] edbian- but what do you have running? [03:59] Anyone knows how can i expand my casper-rw file WITHOUT losing all my changes? [03:59] Jeruvy: thats my expierence ... fiddle w/ nvidia till you get pretty pictures [03:59] StrangeCharm: *Sheepishly* usually nothing :) [03:59] Jeruvy, how many graphics cards are you using 2? [03:59] ctmjr: yes 2. [04:00] why not use sli as the driver [04:00] edbian- well, let's hypothetically suggest that you have up a couple o dozen tabs in a browser with a mild memory leak, and something large that lives in ram, like libowfat. then the extra swap'll seem really useful [04:00] ctmjr: thats a good question [04:01] StrangeCharm: I think that having swap = to ram is a good rule of thumb but I don't think that it is practical to anticipate you might need 10GB of RAM (virtual and physical) at any given point. Especially with the excellent memory management of linux. I'm going to give him some aritcles though and let him decide for himself. [04:01] i'm about to install ubuntu as my primary OS but i need to know this thre things: 1). How well is NTFS support under Ubuntu? I have 250mbs of NTFS data and really don't want to backup it and format the hard disk 2) How well is EXT4 implemented? Is it secure for a /home partition? and last one 3) Can I print to my USB printers from inside a VMWare/Virtualbox virtualized WinXP ? THANKS!!! [04:01] anyone here install groupwise, i need to copy the default openjdk jre folder to the groupwise directory? [04:01] StrangeCharm: What does libowfat do? [04:01] ubuntu will see your NTSF files [04:01] martosurf: i would recommend using ext3 for /home so you can use ext2windows software to access it remotely in windows (assuming ur keeping that on that ntfs part) [04:02] martosurf: 250mbits of data is a blink these days...why not back it up [04:02] edbian- sounds fair, my rule is normally 2 and a bit times ram, but that's based on my usage [04:03] StrangeCharm: What does libowfat do? [04:03] edbian- it's a gpl libdbj, essentially it does a lot of network malarkey, but it lives in ram, and writes no files by default [04:03] martosurf: actually ntfs support is fine. never had any probs reading/writing on my w2k partitions [04:03] StrangeCharm: neat [04:04] anyone here install groupwise; i need to copy the default openjdk jre folder to the groupwise directory? i can't find the jre folder. [04:04] martosurf: The USB Printer worked fine under W2K in a Virtual Box under Ubuntu [04:05] StrangeCharm: Here's the article I'll show bobo https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq [04:05] martosurf: But why dont you test some things with the live cd? [04:05] edbian- yep, it underpins opentracker (the tracker software used by tpb) - which also lives in ram. it's pretty well written. i've heard it said that they could run tpb off cots router without much trouble [04:06] linux: cool thanx for enlight me, I will reserve ext4 for other partitions then =) ablyss: indeed I know I should backup my data but I have common DVDs only, no HD DVDs and backup 250mb into 4.3 is a real pain! Neroon: thank you very much for your help, yes I already tried Live CD! [04:06] StrangeCharm: tpb? cots router? You've lost me in acronyms [04:06] martosurf: did you really mean 250mbs? That's less than one cd worth... Ntfs support is good, but if you have any problems, you will need to boot windows to run chkdsk. ext4 is best avoided for the time being. [04:06] edbian- the pirate bay | commercial off-the-shelf [04:06] StrangeCharm: ic ic [04:07] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SnortIDS followed this, cannot get acidbase installed - $DBtype not specified in some config file, how can I correct this? [04:07] anyone here install groupwise, i need to copy the default openjdk jre folder to the groupwise directory? [04:07] martosurf: I gues you meant 250 GB, not MB? [04:07] one more guys: in previous Ubuntu 8.10 I had the option to Quit, Restart and Log off directly from the main menu but in current 9.04 version those options are not there, instead I have to use the applet on the bar to quit and restart, how do I make option visible again in the System submenu? [04:07] martosurf: i agree, i miss that feature === whatever is now known as Guest59168 [04:08] is there a way to make phpmyadmin interpret textual blob fields? [04:10] losher: neroon: yeah, course, what I was thinking off? 250 gb lol =D losher: thanx for tip, so I think I will backup everything after all and format a clean nice ext3 linux: there isn't a way to take back the old menu? nothing involving editing system files or so? TNX! [04:10] martosurf: you can right click on the panel and add 'shutdown' and 'logout' buttons for easy access. Not a menu, but it might help [04:11] How do I install kdepim3 alongside kdepim4 using apt? [04:11] linux: you are looking for the openjdk location within ubuntu... or where it goes within groupwise??? [04:11] edbian: ok back [04:11] openjdk [04:11] i did the fsck thing [04:11] bobo: Any errors found? [04:12] nope, it said it was clean [04:12] klk [04:12] do you want the output? [04:12] monta [04:12] bobo: Just summarize it for me [04:12] go to synaptic and find the openjdk package ... right click on it and click properties ... then look in the Installed files tab [04:12] bobo: Basically there either were errors or there weren't [04:12] si dime abe [04:12] no errrors [04:13] fccf: i installed the latest from sun's website [04:13] bobo: Excellent! [04:13] hi phenix! I love ubuntu for it's simplicity, compatibility and because it's noob user oriented, but somwhow I don't like to see it so "canned" like windows =P after all linux is one if not the most user configurable OS on this side of the universe :P [04:13] yes! [04:13] fccf: if i install from synaptic will that conflict? [04:13] bobo: Try to give gparted the command to simply shrink the 160Gb partition. See if it can handle that. [04:13] martosurf: i know what you're saying. :) [04:13] linux: have you tried whereis openjdk -- probably ... but it might work better [04:13] ok ill try again [04:13] harjot, [04:13] be back soon (again) [04:13] oh bobo [04:14] linux: did you install it as a user or as root? [04:14] fccf: as root i think, or sudo user (whereis openjdk [04:14] openjdk: [04:14] linux: I am installing that kit now ... to see where it installs [04:15] help please..

[04:33] yeah [04:33] bobo: leave it for now. Just see if you can shrink your main partition. Just the one operation for now.

[04:39] Dr_Willis, shall try that.. [04:39] bobo: hmm not sure then, it took me about 5 minutes to make a 100gb partition using shrink on vista [04:39] see this is where my Hd is wierd. it says i have 100gb of space tooken up, but inreality i only have like 20-30 gb tooken up [04:40] and idk where teh other 80gb is [04:40] sebsebseb: hi [04:40] bobo: that makes me think your drive could have huge amounts of sectors marked as bad. [04:40] bobo: 5% is reserved on a normal filesystem.. then theres rounding issues... then theres always what phenix says [04:40] how should i clear it up? [04:40] maybe at least a nudge to the right channel for my audio issue? [04:41] bobo: maybe turn off pagefileing? also do you use a tv tuner card, those can have a huge cache [04:41] anyone know why my compiz screenshot plugin never actually creates an image file? [04:41] phenix: the first time I loaded it, I selected the windows that turned out to be the recovery partition... and it broke the grub. Should I just remove that option? [04:41] i am having an audio issue also [04:41] pluxil: no, no tv tuner [04:41] quick question. Does anyone know how to make changes to a user group without having to logout/restart? [04:41] DrLame: i don't understand what you mean. Why remove it? [04:41] http://pastebin.com/f72553282 [04:42] i am havving a problem with a segmentation fault when i try to run MountManager terminal output is here http://paste.ubuntu.com/219503/ [04:42] Does anyone know of a good mkvextract / mp4box tutorial that lays out the steps you need to use to remux a .mkv to .mp4? [04:42] phenix, just starting that option then exiting the recovery (without doing anything) caused the grub boot loader to break (error 22) and I had to reinstall ubuntu before I could boot any of my partitions at all... [04:42] a sort of vague question: is dual booting vista and ubuntu (or any linux distro really) any more difficult than dual booting xp and ubuntu? does bcd make it any harder? [04:42] Dr_Willis, mpg files video colour saturation seems to have decreased, than the one that appears when i watch in windows. [04:43] help i don't think my profile.d is being read on boot how do i do this? [04:43] bobo: look at: http://www.averyjparker.com/2009/01/12/checking-the-smart-details-of-a-hard-drive-with-an-ubuntu-boot-cd/ [04:43] i cannot hear audio play back from videos or music streams, but if i unmute my mic i can hear it. any ideas? [04:43] jwjza, I installed ubuntu from within vista and was quite pleased, never had a single issue [04:43] just curious, did anyone else have the problem of deleting the partition that ubuntu is on and then having a grub error when you try to boot causing you not to be able to load your other os? [04:43] ok will do... still pluggin away at shrinking [04:43] bobo: that might help you figure out if your drive has marked huge amounts of errors. If it has, backup your data quick. [04:43] DrLame: awesome. i actually meant to say windows 7, though... [04:43] but same bootloader so i guess itll be fine [04:44] Pluxii, no, but it's not surprising that if you delete all of grub's settings and files that it wouldn't work well [04:44] cn28h: hah [04:44] is there a way (im sure there is) get a bunch of files from a website that are setup for only streaming so save as a batch to my local disk so that I can listen to them on my MP3 player ? the files I am looking are are ASX files which im sure I will have to do some conversion on to strip the audio out [04:44] pluxxi yeah, some of the files grub uses are on the linux partition, just run ur windows restore disc and it will fix it i think... [04:44] Pluxii, yes, just now I had that problem, had to reinstall ubuntu === cow_lg_pgen_cow is now known as cew_lov_ce [04:44] DrLame: if you're worried about it, then yeah, just comment it out in menu.lst [04:45] Phenix: ill do that some other time, ill keep that website, thanks [04:45] donavan: let me see a URL and see if I can do it [04:45] DrLame: same here, i just noticed it when i did that to make a bigger part. for ubuntu, kinda caught me off guard [04:45] DrLame: also, in the future if that happens, you can fix GRUB without reinstalling ubuntu [04:46] phenix: how? [04:46] i am havving a problem with a segmentation fault when i try to run MountManager terminal output is here http://paste.ubuntu.com/219503/ does anyone know how i might fix this or find out whats causeing it? [04:46] Pluxii, all I did was load the windows restore partition with the grub (on accident), exited right away, and found out my ubuntu partition was formatted somehow... [04:46] how [04:46] fccf: check you PM [04:46] phenix: is it possible to save all programs ( or at least settings) with out making another partition for my home folder? [04:46] how to join [04:46] phenix, how? [04:46] Dreki, unfortunately that is not very useful without the actual core dump [04:47] Pluxii: easiest is boot off the liveCD, then run a few commands. Just google it when you run into it (unless you want the commands now) [04:47] I am needing help restoring a /home_backup [04:47] phenix: thanks, that makes sense, i put ubuntu back on so obviously it's not an issue at this point, just wanted to know for future reference [04:47] Dreki, you could possibly set max corefile size higher (then should say Segmentation fault (core dumped)) and send the file to the devs of muntmanager [04:47] bobo: i don't know. I don't think so, but maybe someone else has an idea. [04:48] i meann its no big deal, the most important stuff i have is just music and videos IF i have to reinstall ubuntu/xp. i've done it 3 times now [04:48] cew_lov_ce: How to join what? [04:48] hey guys, do you know if it is possible to pass arguments to cp by piping output to it? [04:48] join chat [04:49] bobo: lol the reinstall is always the wasy part [04:49] bobo: yeah, I always keep my home folder on a seperate partition as root. It makes life easier. [04:49] phenix, do you happen to have the commands handy to fix grub if ubuntu part gets formatted? =/ [04:49] phenix: i know, but i just am too lazy to do it [04:49] jujuranes, look up xargs [04:49] cew_lov_ce: You have already joined this chat. What other chat do you mean? [04:49] bobo: :) [04:49] phenix> can you help me with /home back up error? [04:49] cn28h hm.. ok, well if all else fails atleast the devs know theres a problem... but how do i do all that? [04:49] yay! its starting to do stuff [04:50] hurray for stuff [04:50] I was wondering if KDE had a way to configure multiple monitors like in GNOME. GNOME allows for multiple monitors to be configured non-mirrored, where in KDE forces both screens into one resolution. Optimally I would like 1 monitor per virtual desktop. [04:50] Dreki, ulimit -c unlimited [04:50] Anyone know how to apply changes without logout/reboot? [04:50] can you get viruses if you use virtualbox (or equivalent) [04:50] ok i did something wrong, i partitioned my hard drive so i could dual boot ubuntu and mebis, but when i restart the boot menu doesnt show ubuntu only mebis [04:50] Dreki, then run it again.. it should generate a core file [04:51] I need to reinstall OS but I have a Dell linux-preinstalled that doesn't have a separate /home partition. I have way too much data I need to keep. someone told me, resize your partition. but GParted says partition cannot be unmounted. What's the procedure? need to boot from a liveCD? [04:51] cn28h where will it save the file? [04:51] Dreki, in your current directory [04:51] DrLame: in terminal: grub. That brings you to the grub prompt. Then: root (hd0,0) ; setup (hd0) ; quit. That should do it assuming /boot/grub/stage1 is on hd0,0. Adjust accordingly if it's somewhere else (you can do find /boot/grub/stage1 to find out). [04:51] whew, okay thanks [04:52] bobo: yes, but they will be confined to the OS instance in virtualization (usually). [04:52] how interesting [04:52] bobo: I'm glad it's working. [04:52] slowly, took 15 mins to check it and now its doing it again [04:52] is there an ubuntu liveCD? [04:52] bobo: i ran across some getting virus' in VMWare, but you just delete the machine and make a new one if that happens [04:53] Ratapoil: yes [04:53] can you boot live with the regular DesktopEdition? [04:53] Pluxii: haha , so i could go to one of those websites that gives you a nasty nasty virus and then laugh because it didnt hurt ur main OS [04:53] virtual machines are a good way to 'test' and see what viruses do. :) [04:53] Ratapoil: yes. [04:53] cn28h i set the limit to unlimited but it still didnt dump it [04:54] Dreki, hmm. Not sure then :/ that is strange [04:54] donovan: see PM [04:54] anyone know how to change the sound device in the terminal its not working from the windows [04:54] I am needing help restoring a /home_backup [04:54] goodnight guys. Cheers. [04:54] donavan: see PM [04:54] boob: yeah i've never had it transfer into my main OS, don't really see how it could. My brother and I have been trying to catch conflicker for months now and just can't get it lol we want to pick it apart [04:54] cn28h well thanks anyway m8 [04:54] Dreki, when I try it it does dump one, though [04:55] jaunty screen bad in virtualbox 3.02 ( sun emulator ) help plz [04:55] Pluxii: hahah, yeah guys, i wanna catch a virus!!!!!!!!

[05:40] Dr_Willis: There was no admin group. [05:40] ok, I recently switched to Opera, and one thing I noticed, probably due to the fact its QT based, is the fonts are not as smooth as they look like in GTK apps. How would I change those settings for GTK?

[05:41] cycrosism: You'll likely be better off simply giving yourself permission to write there. sudo adduser yourusername www-data ; sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www && sudo chmod -R g+wX /var/www [05:42] Flannel, i just wanted my account to be root [05:42] how can i get a more accurate battery applet. I think the one i have is all lies [05:42] cycrosism: What that does is add your user to the www-data group (which is what apache runs as), and then some permission magic to make it work like it should. [05:42] hello guys whats the best browser to suo apt-get isntall? (except firefox - i have already) [05:42] cycrosism: You'll use sudo to do that then. sudo cp source destination, etc [05:42] terminal is so powerful, lol, and i can barely use it.

[05:43] seaphor: i have [05:43] No Flannel what I ment was how do i make my account the root or something that allows me to write anywhere [05:43] cycrosism: You don't want to do that.

[05:43] jigp: I guess konqueror, but it's nowhere near as powerful as firefox [05:43] Flannel, yes i do [05:43] JohnGalt, set to "None" ??

[05:44] JohnGalt, its "on" by default need to set to "None" ?? [05:44] /home/michael/Desktop/rohos_mini.exe [05:44] jigp, then konqueror will be just fine [05:44] how can i get a more accurate battery applet. I think the one i have is all lies [05:44] cyrosism: running as root is the worst possible idea [05:44] cycrosism: No, even on a desktop system you don't want to run as root. [05:45] *claps* [05:45] qedx, when i go to save files sometimes it won'y work i jsut want a way for it to save anywhere corerctly [05:45] jigp, it's a kde app though [05:45] Hey guys.

[06:18] GhostWolf_: you have data in the Ubuntu partition, you want to get hold of it? then re install Ubuntu? [06:18] I doubt it prospire, it would be a pretty big security flaw [06:19] sebsebseb the reinstall would be if i can't get passsed this problem [06:19] Vinnnnn: even I think so === vic is now known as Guest99857 [06:19] GhostWolf_: and I am saying you can access the data on the Live CD [06:19] and if i have to yes i wanna get the stuff i have in that partition before i reinstall [06:19] but a person said me that logs are saved somewhere in jaunty [06:19] he didnt tell me the exact place [06:19] I just wanna check [06:19] i know sebsebseb im just asking i can do that by accessing the os as if im trying it you know the first option it has [06:20] can i ask about xfce here or do i need to go to the xubuntu channel?

[07:07] baz: Yes, when I switch onto my Windows Partition I can view and make changes perfectly. === Until_It_Sleeps is now known as Until_It|Sleeps [07:07] * Until_It|Sleeps is now away: Sleeping [07:07] what mean Bean count on ubuntuforum? [07:07] Vinnnnn: After one sudo is called, it should keep the password for a while. [07:07] Downstairs is running XP Pro, I'm dual-booting Windows 7 RC and Ubuntu 9.04 upstairs. [07:08] ravindu: number of posts [07:08] R0b0t1: Oh ok.. so even if it runs the script and kills the terminal, if I run it again it should remember the passwrid> [07:08] I have installed a fresh ubuntu. My MB is intel dg31pr and its vga is onboard. How can I be sure that the vga driver is installed correctly? three are no hardwares listed in my hardware driver list (in the system menu) [07:08] barqers, in 'connect to' choose 'windows share' and then only fill out your IP then click connect then follow the prompts [07:08] Vinnnnn: though it's not advisable, you can add a flag "NOPASSWD" in front of your username to allow sudo without password. [07:08] What GUI based web hosting panel Ubuntu supports now ? [07:08] thanx richardcavell [07:08] Vinnnnn: Yeah [07:09] <_Apple_> I need to add a resolution to my second display and I've had no luck with modelines any ideas? [07:09] Vinnnnn: But only for like 5 minutes. [07:09] staticRails: doesn't that only apply to proprietary drivers [07:09] test [07:09] barqers, also as a test completely disable your firewall downstairs [07:09] Vinnnnn: for more info, `man sudoers` [07:09] dhonie_, stay on topic [07:09] staticRails: I thought that ordinary drivers don't show there [07:09] xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [07:09] xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [07:09] xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [07:09] dhonie_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:09] dragon_: How would I go about doing that? [07:09] dhonie don't flood [07:09] dragon_: How would I go about adding the flag? [07:09] baz: Okay will go disable firewall and try thank. Thank you for your help so far! [07:10] oohps sorry thought i was in another channel sorry if i overstepped.. [07:10] dragon_: sorry, didn't see your other message [07:10] My Macbook cannot resume from hibernate (suspend to disk). My swap partition is big enough. Any ideas? [07:10] What GUI based web hosting panel Ubuntu supports now ? [07:11] anirban: you mean like ebox? [07:11] !box | anirban [07:11] Sorry, I don't know anything about box [07:11] !ebox | anirban [07:11] anirban: ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox [07:11] richardcavell_: make sure your backups are recent, boot to a live cd or USB boot and resize [07:11] ActionParsnip: resize the partition? Why? [07:12] richardcavell_: if a partition isnt big enough, make it big enough by resizing it === Raistlin1 is now known as Raistl|n [07:12] ActionParsnip: No, I'm saying it's big enough. My RAM is 3 Gig. My swap partition is 3.2 Gig [07:12] richardcavell_: misread, sorry [07:13] <_Apple_> I need to add a resolution to my second display and I've had no luck with modelines any ideas? === Tig3rzhark is now known as Tig3rzhark313 [07:13] richardcavell, Whats the error? [07:13] how do i make ubuntu see my windows shares? [07:14] it sees the workgroup but not the computers in it === Tig3rzhark313 is now known as Tig3rzhark [07:14] thanks R0b0t1 and dragon_ [07:14] Can you ping them? === michael__ is now known as Ace891 [07:14] aaah nm, after refreshingf 5 times it worked [07:14] I am trying to run a heap memory as a C function, normally this would work, but for some reason it does not and segfaults. I am pretty much sure at this point it is something in Ubuntu, does anyone know if there's any specific thing in ubuntu that may cause my program to not work? [07:14] lol, I find that typing smb://[ip address of computer] works well === Nirvana is now known as HttpError [07:15] richardcavell_: what happens when you attempt a hibernate? [07:15] ActionParsnip: It seems to hibernate okay [07:15] ActionParsnip: It's waking up that's the problem [07:15] richardcavell_: ok, what happens / doesn't happen exactly [07:15] richardcavell, Don't you see any specific error while resuming that prevents it? [07:16] Does anyone know how to change the sudo timeout? For example, if I want it to remember the sudo password for x minutes? [07:16] R0b0t1: sorry, but it's far more likely you've made a programming error.... [07:16] ActionParsnip: and vise: I'll do it now and get back to you with the exact messages [07:16] losher: No, no, sorry, I'm at the point where I've checked it too much. [07:16] does anyone know how to sync a zune in ubuntu? virtual machines dont work for me. [07:16] Vinnnnn, http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-763142.html [07:17] losher: It's more likely there's some kind of thingy that watches programs that make jumps to places outside of their process space or something. [07:17] But I wouldn't know those. [07:17] perfect, thanks baz [07:17] Could you use a stack trace? [07:17] I am not 100% sure I understand the question (only a novice programmer) [07:17] Yeah, I only know it segfaults when I try to call the char array. [07:18] But that doesn't tell me much... [07:18] hmm, array out of bounds error maybe? [07:18] baz: Okay, I reset permissions to everyone, turned off firewall, and still it does not seem to go beyond password dialogue. [07:18] greetings, I am having trouble with bugzilla,, can someone help me ? [07:18] That's possible, but I highly doubt it. [07:18] R0b0t1, Something to do with the execute disable bit of the processor? [07:18] R0b0t1: are you trying to load code into an array on the heap and just jump to it? [07:18] I have a RET at the end of my array. [07:19] Playing an audio cd is very staticy, playing music from any other source is perfect. I can't figure this out. [07:19] greetings, I am having trouble with bugzilla,, can someone help me (it's a configuration thing I think) ? [07:19] mjs22: YEah [07:19] barqers, hmm, let me think here... [07:19] I call mprotect though -.- [07:19] Brian, what player are you using? [07:19] hello! all of the sudden i cannot sudo or gksu, or login to a tty... can't figure out the problem.. just installed amarok in gnome, don't think that would matter [07:19] baz: My thoughts exactly. [07:19] barqers, hehe. what kind of perms did you reset? [07:20] Will someone walk me through installing ePSXe? [07:20] this is all i get: julian@julian-desktop:~$ sudo su [07:20] [sudo] password for julian: [07:20] julian@julian-desktop:~$ [07:20] barqers, did u share using the windows wizard share thinggy [07:20] I have never done ePSXe in Linux, only Windows [07:20] you could try it with wine [07:20] R0b0t1, So you do a PROT_EXEC on mprotect? [07:20] Ace891: Well right now, sound Juicer. If i rip songs then the songs themselves have static even when played on my mp3 player [07:21] baz: Rebooted into safe mode with networking then right clicked each folder and under properties and security I set all accounts to "Full Control" [07:21] vise: Yes. [07:21] What is Wine? [07:21] baz: Which wizard share thingy lol [07:21] moin [07:21] jsq: try sudo -i [07:21] Have you tried another program, like RythymBox or Amorak (something like that) [07:21] Ive tried VLC, Kaffeine, etc, everything plays CDs statically, but music I already have plays perfectly [07:21] no, same thing [07:21] jsq: you will get an interactive sudo which is advised over sudo su [07:21] EnragedOstrich: it helps ostriches calm down and relax [07:22] barqers, there's a separate 'sharing' tab next to permissions - also i dont think u have to go in safemode all the time - is it back in regular mode when u are testing the connections? [07:22] must be a lib issue then [07:22] jsq: are you a member of the admin group, if you run groups you can check [07:22] Ostrich, go to www.winehq.com to research. It is an api layer that allows some Windows applications to run [07:22] yes.. also i cannot login to i tty at all [07:22] R0b0t1: are you able to step through it in the debugger & see the exact point you get the segv [07:22] a tty* [07:22] well it sucks I cant save my music because all the files end up staticy, I don't know when it started happening [07:22] baz: Good question, lol, I might've forgotten the sharing property. Let me go have a look. [07:22] Ostrich: wine is not an emulator [07:23] i have problem instaling my iogear gwu623 usb wireless in ubuntu? i have the installation with linux driver. How do i install it? [07:23] if i run a command in terminal, that takes ages, is there a way to login to that session from another PC, wihtou tinteruppting the command, to see where its at? [07:23] was working fine for a year.. now all the sudden i can't do anything admin or tty.. [07:23] greetings, I am having trouble with bugzilla page comes up blank. Any one have any ideas? [07:23] jsq: what have you changed recently? [07:23] must have been something i did in aptitude [07:23] Wow, really. I wonder if it will work [07:23] Ali_nz: which command? [07:24] losher: ddrescue [07:24] When I open some applications, like Evolution and Gwibber. It asks me to supply a password to open a keyring or something. Thats very fine, but for some applications I'd just like it to start up without asking me. Is this possible? [07:24] i deleted some xubuntu-desktop packages, but made sure i still had all the ubuntu-desktop [07:24] i could use a remote desktop session, but its a slow connection so terminal session would be better [07:24] and installed amarok.. that's all i did [07:24] jsq: not sure that would affect it, could try reinstalling them to test [07:24] losher: I might be doing this wrong, but I can only step through lines of my .c file, and that just gives me the line where I try to call it. Would there be another way (in case it segfaults on the RET or something, but I don't think this is the case, but w/e) [07:24] I had ePSXe on windows, but now I completely reformated to Ubuntu, will I have to partition part of my HDD for wine? [07:24] i can't install anything :P [07:24] or Pay for it... [07:24] no [07:25] Ostrich: the few times I've used it I was really impressed, [07:25] R0b0t1, mprotect returning no error? [07:25] No, no error. [07:25] Yeah, Sounds cool [07:25] jsq: then boot to root recovery console, make a new user and add it to the admin group [07:25] What version of ubuntu are you running Ostrich [07:25] !pastebin [07:25] 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 [07:25] Ostrich: it makes windows seem pixelated, linux seems smooth and beautiful [07:25] ok.. will try that [07:25] R0b01: have you tried running it under strace to see where it dies? [07:25] thanks [07:25] I might put all my Emulators in it if it works [07:25] jsq: remember to set its password and try logging in as that user, see if it is all users or only the user you have logged in [07:26] was about to but i didn't hit a key in grub fast enough [07:26] mjs22: If you're talking about which function it dies in, I already know, inside main when in function ?? (when I do "((void (*)())func)();") [07:26] baz: That's bizarre as heck. When I went into Sharing & Security (not in safe mode). It notified me that windows had disabled remote access and all I had to do was redo the network wizard. It amazes me how Windows 7 RC could connect though? Oh well. Thanks for the help! [07:26] R0b0t1, Does it go this way: You load code from a file.. and say manipulate it and then call mprotect to enable execution and then jump to it? [07:26] EnragedOstrich: my suggestion would be to dump windows all together, what ever it is you want it for (minus WoW) linux probably has a better solution that you don't know about [07:26] Hey all [07:27] <_Apple_> I need to add a resolution to my second display and I've had no luck with modelines any ideas? [07:27] I have seen WoW ran under Linux anyway. But I forget the distro/config/program/etc... [07:27] for ruby development, do i need to install ruby-dev or is ruby and rubygems enough? [07:27] EnragedOstrich: also you might get a virus, (less likely than the Redmond garbage though) [07:27] I'm having an issue where (doesn't matter which browser) a random page i've been visiting frequently (usually google) will all of a sudden show up blank. What's the problem? [07:27] R0b0t1: I guess I was curious if it dies inside the function being jumped to, or dies immediately when you try to jump. [07:27] vise: Yes, I try to run it like that (although no file stuff, just char f[] = {0x90, 0x90, 0x90, 0x90, 0xC3}; which I memcpy to a heap location. [07:27] barqers, great! at least it works, who cares why! But honestly you should almost never ever have to go into safe mode for anything - its possible that whatever u did in there wasnt saved properly when u went back in or something [07:28] WhoNeedszzz: try clearing your browser cache and history [07:28] ActionParsnip: I do every time i close the browser [07:28] why nobody in #compiz? [07:28] I agree with the other Ostrich, however there are some of us (like me) that because of school and other issues, cannot just dump Windows. So Wine comes in handy [07:28] R0b0t1, So C3 is ret, which should return to where you called from .. right? [07:28] R0b0t1: I would use adb to try & debug it.... [07:28] baz: True. Oh well. Windows is strange. Hah. Thanks again. Only use it for gaming. [07:28] WhoNeedszzz: I had a similar issue like 3 years ago, did a reboot to fix [07:28] barqers, no worries [07:29] Ali_nz: if you can ssh into the machine, you can watch its progress, or even run ddrescue remotely.... [07:29] newbuntu: hmm I can try that [07:29] WhoNeedszzz: try creating an extra profile in your browser to see if its that [07:29] vise: Yes. [07:29] WhoNeedszzz: do you use firefox like everybody else does? [07:29] ActionParsnip: It doesn't matter which browser [07:29] yes [07:29] but i've tried in Opera and Epiphany [07:29] same issue [07:29] I can't get the wired network working on my newly salvaged desktop. The network manager registers the network connection, and the DNS is configured properly, as far as I can tell. Here's the output from some commands that were suggested on the forum: http://paste.ubuntu.com/219559/ [07:29] ostrich, if you are using ubuntu 9.04 (or others, I dunno) just use the Synaptic Package Manager and search for Wine when All is selected. Take the one from there. It installs easily [07:29] WhoNeedszzz: i its browser independant it may be your provider [07:30] WhoNeedszzz: sounding like a non-browser issue,, did you try links or wget as a sanity check? [07:30] Helllo, how do I brutally force package removal? dpkg -r --force-all does not work ? [07:30] WhoNeedszzz: try turning off your router (if you have one) as well as the modem (i it isnt built into the modem) [07:30] ActionParsnip: well no it has to be something with Jaunty bc my friend was over using hardy and it didn't have the issue [07:30] WhoNeedszzz: worth a try [07:30] R0b0t1: If it's small, you can post the misbehaving code on pastebin.com. [07:30] R0b0t1, I guess there could be a few things you could try. 1. Disable all optimizations of the compiler. 2. Print in hex the destination code (in the heap) and verify it's the same. 3. Step debug into the assembly. [07:31] ActionParsnip: That sometimes fixes it, but then it happens again [07:31] Monona, are you setting it to DHCP or Static IP? [07:31] mjs22: http://codepad.org/uArd7ZD4 [07:31] WhoNeedszzz: can you ping the pages you have seen the issue on, see if it fails ever [07:31] greetings, I am having trouble with bugzilla page comes up blank. Any one have any ideas? [07:31] I have never used bugzilla... [07:31] ActionParsnip: It's working now [07:31] ActionParsnip: It goes in and out [07:32] newbuntu: no idea. had to google it to find out what it was. [07:32] Ace891: Network Settings says DHCP (what does that mean?) [07:32] does anyone know of a way to get a single sudo to run multiple commands? ie sudo "command 1; command 2" [07:32] WhoNeedszzz: i'm saying its a flakey driver. are you using iwl3895 ? [07:32] zetanuxi_: bug tracker, seems pretty good, I'm new to it though [07:32] Vinnnnn: what about sudo -i [07:32] Vinnnnn: easy: sudo command1; sudo command2; sudo command 3 [07:32] ActionParsnip: for? [07:32] WhoNeedszzz: a wireless adapter? [07:32] Hey, how do I know what type of Ubuntu I have Dapper/Jaunty/others [07:33] ah fantastic [07:33] EnragedOstrich: lsb_release -c [07:33] ActionParsnip: i'm using ethernet [07:33] thanks guys, feel like an idiot now, hahaha [07:33] ActionParsnip: single sudo to run multiple commands [07:33] ActionParsnip: not 3 on a single line [07:33] ActionParsnip: I don't know what that means [07:33] indus: sudo -i then, but both will work [07:33] R0b0t1: man mprotect says addr must be page aligned. Is it? [07:33] EnragedOstrich: its a terminal command [07:34] ActionParsnip: i thought we coul dsudo &&? [07:34] indus: the ; and && can be used to string multiple commands on one line [07:34] EnragedOstrich: cat /etc/*-release [07:34] losher: ........ Is there any way to allocate page-aligned memory? [07:34] vinnn, just do sudo su [07:34] well, what I needed was a way to run echo 100 > blah blah, but for some reason the sudo runs the echo, then doesn't run the 100 > blah blah [07:34] Okay, I have Jaunty [07:34] Thanks [07:34] indus: && means 'do the next step ONLY if the previous passed' ; means 'do the next step' [07:34] Hello, how do I force package removal? sudo dpkg -r --force-all bluez does not work .. [07:35] R0b0t1, mprotect upon successful completion, returns 0 right? [07:35] R0b0t1: dunno. You may need to ask on a developer's group. Also, the len field is a pointer to a size_t according to the man page. Dunno if that's a typo or not... [07:35] vise: Yeah, it's not returning any other number for me. [07:35] R0b0t1: that code snippet you posted segfaults for you? Ran fine for me. [07:35] R0b0t1, Your code seems to be printing an error if it returns zero.. [07:35] ok, and lastly, I need to run sudo su and then terminate it straight away, so the script can run the next command [07:35] WhoNeedszzz: tried the cable that is used by the other system as you know it is good, or a different port on the connection device [07:36] Yes, but I see no message. [07:36] Wow, WineHQ is in the Add/Remove Programs [07:36] sorry for this guys, but everyones been so helpful [07:36] That's pretty much the point. [07:36] terminate the command I mean [07:36] mjs22: That is why I find it extremely odd. [07:36] Er [07:36] Oh crap. [07:36] sudo su just puts you into admin mode until you type exit [07:36] /fail [07:36] heh [07:36] R0b0t1, So do you see an "err"? [07:36] R0b0t1, how about mmap() [07:36] ActionParsnip: the other device was using the wireless, tried the wireless on my laptop (Jaunty) and didn't change anything (laptop has same issue). [07:36] vise: Indeed I do. [07:36] EnragedOstrich: if the version in the repo is no good to you, try the one on the wine repo: http://www.winehq.org/download/deb [07:37] Still don't know why it runs for mjs. [07:37] MelisU: how about --force-yes [07:37] ok, i added a new user, added them to admin group, no luck with sudo, still doesn't work. let my find the packages i uninstalled.. [07:37] WhoNeedszzz: bizarre [07:37] R0b0t1, Runs for me too [07:37] R0b0t1, Did you change the compiler recently? [07:37] R0b0t1: mprotect fails for me.... [07:37] vise: Not beside regular ubuntu updates. [07:38] jsq, you can try actually logging in as root, but you have to enable it first if it's not [07:38] indus: not working :( [07:38] i could log in as root [07:38] Hello to all! [07:38] R0b0t1, Oh yes.. it doesnt print a message for me too.. so it fails i think.. [07:38] MelisU: try --force-depends [07:38] ActionParsnip: I type "sudo /usr/sbin/pm-hibernate" and my screen goes completely black, then turns on in text mode and I get a cursor at the top-left of the screen, blinking. Presently I get three error messages that look like: [328.685635] btusb_intr_complete:hci0 urb fff8800a078d80 failed to resubmit(1). Then a cursor below that blinks. The CPU fan turns on. I have to do a hard reboot to get out of it. [07:38] WhoNeedszzz: i'm gonna say its a dodgy cable, the port on the outer is flakey or the driver needs a few parameters to be made nice. [07:38] MelisU: this will not remove dependencies [07:39] Hello web5|org|u [07:39] How do you start the Intel Fortran compiler? [07:39] Ffs. For some reason what I'm trying to do works in OSX, but not in Linux on the same comp. [07:39] mprotect returns -1 for me. so yes, mprotect is failing. [07:39] WhoNeedszzz: have you tried re-inserting the cable, to check its properly connected [07:39] indus: I already tried most of the force options .. not working [07:39] R0b0t1, Yep.. mprotect fails and returns -1 for me too [07:39] ActionParsnip: yep [07:39] MelisU: what is the error [07:39] I thought Ubuntu to be secure! [07:39] HOW to load at boot stage ndiswrapper (wifi) driver with all settings for wifi ? [07:40] vise: But does it fail with a segfault? I think mprotect just might be failing, but still running the code. [07:40] richardcavell: try sudo rmmod btusb then hibernate [07:40] anirban: its as secure as its config [07:40] libgdl-1-0, libgdl-1-common, python-gnome2-extras, python-xlib, exo-utils, libexo-0.3-0, xfconf, app-install-data-commercial, boo, libapr1, libaprutil1, libboo2.0-cil, some other libs [07:40] ActionParsnip: Okay I'll be back [07:40] indus: invoke-rc.d: initscript bluetooth, action "stop" failed [07:40] R0b0t1, I don't get a segfault, but i added an "else" to it.. so it does not execute if there is an error.. I don't think you should execute if there is an error [07:40] y [07:40] ActionParsnip: I can't, rmmod is in use [07:40] anirban: the default config is pretty decent, but if users start doing silly things to their system then it will get less secure [07:41] R0b0t1: It happily returns -1, and then finishes executing. I put a print at the very end and it comes out just fine. [07:41] indus: it is obviously broken .. but I don't care. I just want to remove it [07:41] vise, what did errno say? [07:41] ActionParsnip: Scratch that. ERROR: Module btusb is in use [07:41] Odd. [07:41] cn28h, errno is -1.. how do i check what "-1" is?

[07:41] what command can write folder on cd ? [07:41] vise, no, tha'ts the return value -- add perror("mprotect"); after it fails [07:41] richardcavell: lsof | grep btusb | less [07:42] indus: it that already :) [07:42] R0b0t1: mprotect fails and gives me EINVAL (addr is not a valid pointer, or not a multiple of the system page size [07:42] BABER, depends upon what is installed [07:42] MelisU: ok what package is it and how did you install it [07:42] !it | stefano [07:42] stefano: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) [07:42] losher: That's what I figured. [07:42] ActionParsnip: I get nothing [07:42] Ace891: i want use command not gui [07:42] MelisU: it is bluez and came preinstalled and then broke while upgrading [07:43] R0b0t1: I said something about that 10 minutes ago [07:43] cn28h, R0b0t1 Invalid argument [07:43] Does anyone know how to get gnome-do docky working in ubuntu 9.04? I installed gnome do but I cannot find preferences in order to load docky [07:43] richardcavell: from your error it appears that the btusb module is making it weird [07:43] MelisU: you are talking to yourself ? :) [07:43] richardcavell: and it says its in use but isnt which is a concern [07:43] ActionParsnip: Yeah. I don't even know what that module does. "Bluetooth USB"? [07:43] richardcavell: try: lsmod | grep usb [07:43] MelisU: iam assuming u did all sudo apt-get update etc [07:43] richardcavell: you got it :D [07:43] indus: yes .. tried it all. [07:44] ActionParsnip: btsub 21784 2 and usbhid 47040 0 [07:44] R0b0t1: man posix_memalign [07:44] here is the entry in /etc/group: admin:x:115:julian,laura [07:44] what command can write a file or a folder on cd ? [07:44] laura is the account i just added [07:44] losher: Thank you :) [07:44] indus: there has to be a way to just remove the files and the package from the package db .. but how? [07:45] MelisU: try --remove --force-remove [07:45] richardcavell: or lets try: sudo rmmod usbhid; sudo rmmod; btusb; sleep 10; sudo modprobe usbhid [07:45] indus: I did [07:45] MelisU: try --remove --force-remove-reinstreq [07:45] it must have to do something with the fact that i cannot log in to a tty at all [07:45] ok [07:45] indus: same error [07:45] julian@julian-desktop:~$ su laura [07:45] Password: [07:45] julian@julian-desktop:~$ [07:46] cannot log in at all... [07:46] ActionParsnip: First, I think you put an extra semicolon in that. Secondly, ERROR: Module btusb is in use [07:46] MelisU:do a sudo apt-get clean [07:46] MelisU:do a sudo apt-get autoremove [07:46] both [07:46] indus: already did [07:46] damn ! [07:46] yes [07:47] hello, how can i make gnome remember windows positions? [07:47] richardcavell: if your keyboard or mouse stop working in all of this, just reboot [07:47] MelisU: /var/cache/apt/archives (( very risky) dont blame me later [07:47] ActionParsnip: sudo rmmod usbhid makes my keyboard stop but sudo modprobe usbhid gets it back [07:47] ActionParsnip: I had to copy and paste the modprobe to get my keyboard back [07:48] well, i am going to reboot into recovery mode and try to reinstall the packages i just removed, maybe that will help [07:48] Hello, I need some help with my Mobile Broadband, I am using Ubuntu 9.04. [07:48] i wish aptitude had a history [07:48] richardcavell: thats because they are attatched to the usb bus [07:48] Bah, I hate being new to Ubuntu [07:48] jsq: /var/log/aptitude [07:49] richardcavell: i was hoping taking the usb module out would somehow free the btusb [07:49] ActionParsnip: Maybe it does but I can't rmmod it [07:49] yes... but i have to enter them all manually [07:49] Cybertinus: how's your Eee PC? [07:49] ActionParsnip: I don't actually use Bluetooth. But remember I'm writing the n00b instructions so I want to make the instructions general [07:49] jsq: Just collect all the packages, and sudo aptitude install [list of packages] [07:49] thanks... crosses fingers [07:50] indus: and? [07:50] MelisU: delete [07:50] MelisU: your package [07:50] hey i'm unable to connect to keyserver.ubuntu.com is this a known issue? [07:50] richardcavell: there may be a bug with mac and ubuntu with hibernate stuff. I dont personally use it as its a massive PITA to get nice [07:50] I am thinking of reformating into Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 [07:50] !mac | richardcavell [07:50] indus: that is just the downloaded package .. apt-get clean already deletes those [07:50] richardcavell: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [07:51] richardcavell: may have some clues [07:51] MelisU: but i recommend not touching it [07:51] Anyone think that is a good idea? [07:51] MelisU: ok [07:51] ActionParsnip: So what would you recommend I do? [07:51] EnragedOstrich: what are you using your computer for? [07:51] MelisU: hmm so right now bluez wont remove [07:51] MelisU: are you using any custom PPA's [07:51] ActionParsnip: Thanks for the ideas. I'll go to the Ubuntu Forums. [07:51] indus: nope .. no way the removal script fails [07:51] WhoNeedszzz: you're gonna have to dig around a little. I can't think of anything [07:51] Writing/surfing/Emulation/Streaming TV [07:52] MelisU: have you tried reinstalling the package [07:52] EnragedOstrich: then why would you want to reformat into 8.04? can't you do that with 9.04? [07:52] MelisU: mm i cant help further [07:52] anyone else have issues connecting to keyserver.ubuntu.com if i telnet to port 80 it never connects, however i can ping it fine [07:52] indus: sure .. from repo and the downloaded package with dpkg .. it always wants to remove the old one and it fails [07:52] ePSXe and VGA seem terrbile [07:53] MelisU: file a bug i suggest [07:53] richardcavell: try asking about 5 hours later [07:53] And I tried PCSX, can't stand it [07:53] what is the commands to see the mounted drivers? [07:53] staticRails: mount [07:53] ActionParsnip: Huh? [07:53] staticRails: do yuo mean drives or drivers [07:53] staticRails: hi, [07:53] indus: yeah, I guess that is the only option. thanks anyway :) [07:53] MelisU, try editing the /etc/init.d/bluetooth find the line that says "pkill -TERM bluetooth" and change it to "pkill -TERM bluetooth || true and tell it to save and update and tell it yes when it asks [07:53] richardcavell: later in the day, different users in the channel [07:54] EnragedOstrich: you didn't have problems in 8.04? [07:54] i knew a tow char command which gave more info [07:54] EnragedOstrich: what's your resolution anyway? [07:54] ActionParsnip: I'm putting it on the forums. [07:54] ActionParsnip: i knew a tow char command which gave more info [07:54] richardcavell: good move, i'd ask in here later too :) [07:54] Hey, does anyone know a terminal command for Ubuntu 8.04 similar to typing ipconfig /all in windows? [07:54] Ace891, ifconfig ? [07:54] Ace891: ifconfig [07:55] moymoy: What do you mean resolution? As in screen size? [07:55] staticRails: do you mean drivers for hardware, or do you mean drives as in hard drive storage? [07:55] lol, thanks [07:55] ActionParsnip: I seem to be the Mac expert round here [07:55] EnragedOstrich: yeah [07:55] ActionParsnip: Ubuntu doesn't play well with Mac [07:55] ActionParsnip: please give the command for drivers too. [07:55] /ll staticRails [07:55] moymoy: Prolly 1240x1024 [07:55] oops. [07:56] EnragedOstrich: and that isn't working with VGA? [07:56] staticRails: you usually don't mount drivers [07:56] Hi, does anyone know how ubuntu determines what it's current dist is? I had a do-release-upgrade die due to network disconnect, and now it thinks it is already upgraded. I would like to resume it. [07:56] staticRails: mount will show you where partitions (you can't mount drives) are mounted. sudo lshw | less will show you all hardware and what driver it is used [07:56] R0b0t1: well, I got it to run, but I"m not convinced it does the right thing, and it crashes in the subsequent free(), which is a bad sign.... [07:56] !mount [07:56] mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount [07:56] staticRails: whch is why I asked you to clarify [07:56] richardcavell: why buy an overpriced mac to put ubuntu on it? [07:57] ActionParsnip: I bought the overpriced mac to get the mac. I only started using Linux properly this year. [07:57] moymoy: I am having complications with my gamepad - and I know it works on Ubuntu Hardy [07:57] richardcavell: fair point [07:57] I haven an ext3 partition but I forgot so I mount it with "-t ext2", then I copied files to it. Is there a problem? I deleted the original files already. [07:57] ubuntu makes any laptop look good, you dont have to get a mac [07:57] It's only recently that I've found Linux to be truly accessible [07:57] losher: Could I see what you have? [07:57] !off-topic [07:57] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [07:58] losher: Using posix_memalign, valloc, and memalign all fail for me. [07:58] kbp shouldn't be. What problem are you expecting? [07:58] can we use the list of mounted ntfs drviers which we have in gmd in the terminal too [07:58] moymoy: Did you get that? [07:58] oldude67: that worked!! Coolio! Thanks so much. I updated and then removed. I hope it died a painful death! [07:58] kbp: you've just lost journaling. No biggie. [07:58] or should we mount them in terminal again. [07:58] ? [07:58] MelisU, glad to hear it..lol [07:58] staticRails: they're called drives. drivers are pieces of software that are used for accessing hardware === desti_T2 is now known as desti [07:59] R0b0t1: http://paste.ubuntu.com/219566/ under ubuntu 8.10 [07:59] lstarnes: was a typo [07:59] staticRails: its a DRIVE, you never mount a drive, you can mount the partition/s on the drive [07:59] R0b0t1: http://paste.ubuntu.com/219566/ under ubuntu 8.04 <------------ not 8.10 [07:59] richardcavell: I just worry next time when I mount it with the right -t ext3 one, the journal gonna mix up and somehow will overwrite the data I just copy today.... Im not sure tho... just try to make sure there will be nothing happen [07:59] oldude67, indus: have a great day and thanks again. I'm outta here. Bye [08:00] losher: I see. Happily, that runs for me, this is getting me somewhere. [08:00] ActionParsnip: thx... and the answer to my question ? [08:00] MelisU: bye [08:00] MelisU, laters [08:00] :) [08:00] staticRails: if they are not mounted how you like then you can remount them using terminal [08:00] mount [08:00] R0b0t1: well, like I say, I'm not convinced the array code executes, since you can't step into it with gdb (though I bet you can with adb).... [08:00] okay.. that didn't help, and now i have a white screen? i still have the menu, but i can't see the button [08:01] hey all. in System > Preferences > Sound, Sounds tab, I changed the system startup sound, but it still defaults. any ideas? [08:01] f weird [08:01] staticRails: you will need to use: sudo umount /mount/point to unmount the partition first [08:01] losher: As for the crashing, a mprotect(func, 5, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE); fixes that, why do you believe it is not executed? [08:01] losher: I believe it does, I put in some random number into the f array and it segfaults. [08:02] kbp: I just double-checked. It's perfectly okay. [08:02] R0b0t1: ah, good one, that was the final thing I needed, some actual proof that the array is getting executing.... [08:02] ActionParsnip: we can see a list of partitions in places/computer window. are these mounted and have they any mounted name which we can use in terminal or we should mount them in termianl ... [08:02] ActionParsnip: Ok thanks for trying [08:02] ActionParsnip: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7624374#post7624374 [08:03] here is my desktop now.. not an improvement! http://yfrog.com/9escreenshotqp [08:03] richardcavell: ok thank you :) [08:03] losher: Well, thank you for your help. Magic touch or something because what you were doing looks almost identical to my code, with less error checking (GCC must see if you're using proper error checking and crash you if you aren't) [08:03] you had more error checking, wonder why this helps :P [08:03] staticRails: i use terminal persoanlly [08:04] R0b0t1: dunno, but it's good defensive programming anyway.... [08:04] hello [08:04] ActionParsnip: maybe my question is not clear.... [08:04] can someone help me install a diffrent GUI? [08:04] cdrew: gui for what? [08:05] ubuntu [08:05] question, has linux commands and use changed dramatically in the last 10 years, as i got a book on linux ($1 from charity, focuses on redhat linux 6.0) from 1999, is it still relavent enough to learn something from? [08:05] cdrew, Thats a pain [08:05] cdrew: do you mean a different desktop environment [08:05] i have a machine that doesnt have alot of ram [08:05] Dayofswords, Surely [08:05] i guese [08:05] cdrew, So you want to go to XFCE? [08:05] sweet, thank you [08:05] i call them GUIs [08:05] yes [08:05] R0b0t1: wasn't your initial test wrong? !mprotect is 0 when mprotect returns 1. So you thought it was successful when it was failing... [08:05] ActionParsnip: I want to use some nfts partion in terminal. they are accessible without mounting in gdm. are they accessible in termianl (without mounting) too? [08:05] but i'm running it on a PS3 [08:05] can't he just aptitude install fluxbox, and change the session in gdm [08:05] Dayofswords: There's a lot of differences between redhat and Ubuntu though. There's some free ebooks you can find, that might be better for your purposes. [08:06] that'd be way easier than going xfce [08:06] Dayofswords: some of it is likely different, especially things related to package management (which varies between distributions) and for some other programs [08:06] losher: Yes, yes, but it was still failing when I fixed that and put posix_memalign &c in place. [08:06] ActionParsnip: do they have any default mounted name in terminal or should id mount them ? [08:06] ok thanks [08:06] cdrew: would you ever use a window manager that didn't have icons and such? [08:06] no [08:06] Why not? [08:06] R0b0t1: dunno then. Best of luck with the rest... [08:06] hi people! I'm using gtk, and compiz, and using a theme that shows menu panels (applications, places, system) transparent. But it's not working, I mean, not transparent at all. Any ideas how to do it? [08:06] i'm a linux noob [08:06] It has a menu [08:07] i used it when i was a noob too [08:07] losher: Yeah, this was my main problem :D. Thanks again. [08:07] i still want icons [08:07] staticRails: sudo mkdir /media/ntfs_partition; sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/ /media/ntfs_partition -o uid=1000 [08:07] Hey when you report a bug and it gets classified as such: [08:07] Changed in ubuntu-bots: [08:07] status: New → Invalid [08:07] you can get the icons, but it's an extra package to install. eventually you'll realize that icons are pretty useless. [08:07] How do I use Wine to install ePSXe? [08:07] think about it [08:07] Does this mean that your bug has been thrown out and will not be looked at? [08:07] you can have this installed in like 5 minutes :D [08:07] k [08:08] FreshPies: eventually you realise the same is true for most guis too.... [08:08] daycreature: it probably means that it's either not a bug or that the report itself is invalid [08:08] ActionParsnip: thx [08:08] as easy as "aptitude install fluxbox" and change the session ing dm [08:08] Someone please let me know, because I legitimately have the bug in question, and it's certainly something worth addressing. [08:08] I can't highlight you because I messed up my terminal colors, but [08:08] anyway, yeah [08:08] I use GUI [08:08] hey all. in System > Preferences > Sound, Sounds tab, I changed the system startup sound, but it still defaults. any ideas? [08:08] er, highlight = saying their nick [08:08] that's all. [08:08] I just don't see the need for the window manager to have icons that are clicakable on the root window/taskbar/dock [08:08] Lstarnes should I resubmit the bug in the correct format, is there a chance it would be accepted as a bug and addresed? [08:08] it's a luxury, at best [08:08] addressed* [08:09] daycreature: what was the bug? [08:09] Just out of curiousity, what IRC client do you all use? I don't really like XChat [08:09] irssi [08:09] * Kartagis uses xchat [08:09] No need for buttons on irc :D (go figure right!) [08:09] cdrew: you can install xfce, kde eailt using kubuntu-desktop and xubuntu-desktop there is also lxde, fluxbox to name but a few [08:09] Ace891: pidgin [08:09] so with fluxbox can i get to everything w./o terminal work? [08:09] Ace891: chatzilla, because I'm lazy... [08:09] Ace891: I usually use irssi, but if you need something graphical, conspire might be better than xchat [08:09] cdrew: they are all in the repos, just install them, log off then select the new DE and log back in [08:09] Ace891, weechat has nicklist support [08:09] cdrew: yes, all the program does is draw taskbars on the windows and lets you minimize, maximize, shade, move workspaces and such [08:10] it basically is the same window management functionality of gnome, without the toolbar and big menu, and desktop tools like file managers. but he'res what's great [08:10] cdrew: you can run allyour favourite gnome apps in lxde (for example) [08:10] you run fluxbox or whatever [08:10] then use your gnome apps [08:10] ok, thanks for the responses guys, I'll look into those [08:10] no xfce install requried [08:10] like ActionParsnip said [08:10] FreshPies: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:10] all i have is DOSBOX and VLC [08:10] cdrew: i use lxde personally [08:10] is there someone with a dell inspiron 1501 on hardy by any chance ???? [08:10] sorry ubottu [08:11] I've used every window manager under the sun, I'd be using Gnome if I had more ram too [08:11] when I get my sick new computer, i'll have gnome with compiz and such [08:11] cdrew: http://lxde.org/screenshots/desktop.png [08:11] firefox [08:11] !firefox [08:11] firefox is the default web-browser on Ubuntu. To install the latest version, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion Installing plugins: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxPlugins - See also !firefox-3.5 [08:11] page not found [08:11] I build computers for 130 USD that run Gnome fine.

[08:12] !firefox-3.5 [08:12] Firefox 3.5 Final is available for Jaunty by installing the package firefox-3.5 | FF3.5 is referred to as Shiretoko on your UI, see http://is.gd/1reB3 for an explanation | Hardy & Intrepid: http://is.gd/1jkNY [08:12] also, i'll have a sick nvidia or ati card [08:12] ooo, i like that GUI [08:12] FreshPies: yeah but it breaks stuff [08:12] lxde is nice but need a little more fonctions little screen resizing and the terminal should accept pasting ... and my old gnome menu isn't complete on him ... [08:12] FreshPies: again, please stop using the enter key as punctuation. [08:12] where is the cache of installed packages located? [08:12] but it's nice, easy and fast ... [08:12] where is the cache of downloaded packages located? [08:12] cdrew: light and slick, moonos is a distro based on ubuntu with lxde as its default DE [08:12] I believe its in /var/apt/cache [08:12] amirite? [08:12] staticRails: /var/cache/apt/archives/ [08:12] i don't even use buntu. [08:12] can LXDE be installed with a powerPC chip? [08:12] yes by compiling [08:12] cdrew: if its in your repos, sure [08:12] Do we know yet what version of PHP will ship with karmic? [08:12] Flannel: thx [08:12] cdrew: apt-cache search lxde [08:13] Also: I didn't have 8.04 downloaded, so I'm downloading 8.04.2, it's 82% done.. hopefully I can find some restricted drivers for it because the free ones in 8.10 suck [08:13] staticRails: /var/apt/cache [08:13] ActionParsnip: because the world needs another linux distro... [08:13] what are folks using for the latest version of firefox? I would like to upgrade to 3.5, but it's not in the packages -- unless mine are loading incorrectly? does anybody have 3.5 in their package manager? [08:13] lstarnes: The bug is thus, I connect by wifi with a 90% signal and a completely constant connection over fiber, but there is a consistent interruption in wifi access whenever I attempt to download torrents, regardless of client (I have tested with Deluge, transmission, and azeureus), after a short period of time of it downloading the data the wifi connection is lost and if I attempt to reconnect, it just hangs trying to conn [08:13] ect, and the only remedy is a physical restart of the operating system. After which, assuming I do not attempt to download the torrent again, will be connected at the home screen before I've even seen the desktop, and will be completely stable and quick until I resume the halted torrent download, after which the connection will break again. Requiring a physical restart ad infinitum. It has not once worked since I Installed u [08:13] !karmic | zlirp1 [08:13] buntu four days ago. [08:13] zlirp1: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [08:13] daycreature: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:13] staticRails: oops. /var/cache/apt [08:13] zlirp1: #ubuntu+1 for Karmic questions, thanks. [08:13] !karmic [08:13] i'm not on ubuntu right now [08:13] I hope that message went through and wasn't hidden by floodbot [08:13] ActionParsnip there is no lxde repositories for ppc sorry [08:13] cdrew: well now you know the command :) [08:13] did you get that post lstarnes? [08:13] daycreature: does that only happen when using torrents? [08:13] tweaker25: bah [08:13] ActionParsnip: fluxbox is calling your name [08:13] !ff35 | CaptainMorgan [08:13] CaptainMorgan: Firefox 3.5 Final is available for Jaunty by installing the package firefox-3.5 | FF3.5 is referred to as Shiretoko on your UI, see http://is.gd/1reB3 for an explanation | Hardy & Intrepid: http://is.gd/1jkNY [08:13] FreshPies: tried it, loved it [08:14] someone is good for ati graphics on hardy ? [08:14] FreshPies: its based on the same base as fluxbox [08:14] ActionParsnip: http://www.fluxbox.org/screenshots/screenshots_full/screenshot_zan.png [08:14] Firefox damn people don't know flock here ? [08:14] you can do cool stuff like combine windows into each other and switch tabs within them to other windows [08:14] staticRails: you could also try /var/lib/dpkg [08:14] FreshPies: try flwm ;) [08:14] FreshPies: mind taking the fluxbox chatter elsewhere? #ubuntu-offtopic would be a good place. [08:14] hey all. in System > Preferences > Sound, Sounds tab, I changed the system startup sound, but it still defaults. any ideas? [08:15] Flannel fluxbox is in the repos so it's ubuntu business also [08:15] Why is ubottu saying "Karmic WILL break". What does that mean? [08:15] I never did find a JWM package for ubuntu [08:15] I haven't sufficiently tested it but I think that it may also occur in ftp downloads/uploads, but it NEVER occurs in http downloads from files to streaming content like full length movies and such, it won't break and it will be quick, at 15mbps or so down. The only time of signal interruption that i have tested is torrent downloads though. [08:15] lstarnes [08:15] tweaker25: This is a support channel, not a chat channel, even if its about Ubuntu. [08:15] richardcavell: it's not officially released now [08:15] ok cool, i'll tell my linux tech about it [08:15] *yet [08:15] he just help peoples by saying alternatives you know ... [08:15] tweaker25: its not support chat though, its nattering [08:15] richardcavell, Karmic,. the next version of Ubuntu, is in alpha, aka, it's early so there's a crap load of bugs that will make stuff screw up [08:15] richardcavell: because of that, sometimes packages might get updated and break things [08:15] daycreature: which ISP do you have? [08:16] ugh [08:16] Verizon FIOS [08:16] so someone can help me with my bugged ati settings ??? [08:16] Sorry, I have to ask again, I got disconnected. [08:16] It's a fiber optic line directly to the home [08:16] Do we know what version PHP will be at in Karmic? [08:16] richardcavell: if you can fix your own bugs and dont mind logging bugs for the new version then go for it [08:16] daycreature: just an observation: torrents stress networking like few other programs do.... [08:16] zlirp1: #ubuntu+1 for Karmic questions, thanks. [08:16] 25 down and 15 up is the speed I have [08:16] o ya, another question [08:16] zlirp2: ask in #ubuntu+1 [08:16] I'm not sure I understand how you could end up with bugs in a distro. Most of the packages are mature and well-maintained. How can you break it by updating to the newest versions? [08:16] thanks [08:16] is there a way to get my wireless modem to work with linux? [08:16] I mean, updating FF3.0 to FF3.5 doesn't result in a slew of errors. [08:17] richardcavell: Karmic is the development version, it's not the stable version. People are uploading new/untested/unstable versions, etc. [08:17] richardcavell: they are being pieced together in a new OS, bits they havent got to will be missing and can produce weird behaviour [08:17] Well even so losher, one would expect that with a 90% signal and with having had fine access on the hardwired computer to torrent downloads (no issues), I see no reason that this stress could not be handled by any decent router. [08:17] !lts [08:17] LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Hardy (Hardy Heron 8.04). The next LTS release is scheduled to be 10.04 [08:17] Updating Calculator to the newest version doesn't break my machine [08:17] <richardcavell> I mean, updating FF3.0 to FF3.5 doesn't result in a slew of errors. <-- cause you can easily install both at the same time: sudo apt-get install firefox3.5 [08:17] my modem is retarted [08:17] hello [08:17] i'm not kidding [08:17] richardcavell: the idiots keep writing new stuff, sometimes from scratch: ext4, brasero, sound....

[08:17] richardcavell: Upgrading a system library that's broken can break things though. === anthony is now known as Guest56488 [08:18] it only hooks up to windows computers [08:18] Also as a point of note [08:18] cdrew: so are my vms :( [08:18] Okay, I accept that something like ext4 is a profound change that can break the machine. [08:18] cdrew: if you run lsusb; lspci yuo will get an identifier that you can websearch for [08:18] daycreature: my point is that running torrents will expose weaknesses in networking software/hardware that regular downloads won't.... [08:18] vms? [08:18] richardcavell: Ext4 is an optional file system in 9.04 [08:18] what is your modem doing [08:18] k [08:18] richardcavell: No, no. Like, tomorrow's updates might have a version of X that's totally broken, so you upgrade, and no longer have a GUI. etc. [08:18] nothing [08:18] if this chat isn't to talk but to help why peoples don't help ? [08:18] cdrew: virtual machines, they reboot stupid and don't always come up [08:18] its just sitting there [08:18] If I am patient and go through about six restarts of interrupted connection, I can finish a download on a torrent of approximately 100 minutes. So you could estimate I get anywhere from 18 to 20 mb of successful torrent download before the connection breaks [08:19] richardcavell: But, we're getting offtopic. If you're still confused, I'll gladly discuss it in #ubuntu-offtopic [08:19] it sees the modem and trys to connect [08:19] but cant [08:19] cdrew: well yeah, the command doesnt make it jump into life. it makes you aware of what chip / or identifier it uses and you can websearch it [08:19] Can anyone help me get ssl set up [08:19] http://translate.google.com/translate?prev=hp&hl=fr&js=y&u=http%3A%2F%2Fforum.ubuntu-fr.org%2Fviewtopic.php%3Fpid%3D2808462%23p2808462&sl=auto&tl=en&history_state0= hey I need help here !!! [08:19] !dialup | cdrew [08:19] cdrew: You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto - Also try disabling/removing KNetworkManager if KDE applications cannot connect using dial-up [08:19] losher: I, understand you now, and agree with you. Perhaps that's why it took so long for the bug to surface [08:19] tweaker25: please be patient [08:19] Flannel: Some other day. I'm trying to get my hibernate working at the moment. [08:20] dialup? [08:20] patience isn't my virtue ... [08:20] who uses that anymore? [08:20] i didn't attempt to download a torrent at all the first few days, so i didn't know there was a problem until I did [08:20] cdrew: i have a few, great for email [08:20] I don't wanna be stuck like this for days !!! [08:20] cdrew: so its a usb adsl modem i'm guessing? [08:20] i use highspeed [08:20] tweaker25: then make it so. If nobody has an answer, just wait a while then ask again [08:20] All I'm looking for is a solution to this problem, as it very negatively effects my experience with the ubuntu operating system, which i otherwise love so much [08:21] ikt has a USB port in it if thats what you mean [08:21] it* [08:21] daycreature: did it happen with any other operating systems? [08:21] the rest are normal internet lines [08:21] cdrew: can you plese type my name (use tab for ease) at the start of the line [08:21] cdrew: what pieces of network hardware are you using [08:21] daycreature: well I understand it's little consolation. Some routers are notorious for running out of connection space in tables when torrenting. Otherwise, I'd worry that your wifi card or your AP hardware might be faulty. [08:21] no, on this same box i have windows on a different hard drive, i could restart boot into that right now, and download a torrent no problem on the windows OS. [08:21] cdrew: see how the text ighlights when i talk to you, thats not an accident [08:21] ok [08:21] aren't they releasing rather fast ? -- if 10.04 is to be the next LTS, and 8.04 was released under two years ago (I run Server edition), with a 10.04 scheduled in early-mid 2010.. dunno, seems to be coming fast [08:22] additionally my wireless SIGNAL is at a constant 90% [08:22] BAH!!

[08:22] This is killing me [08:22] since i'm in the same room as the router [08:22] cdrew: ok can you please provide the output of lsusb in a pastebin. === anthony is now known as Guest68645 [08:22] !paste > cdrew [08:22] cdrew, please see my private message [08:22] CaptainMorgan: 6.06 was the previous LTS. LTS is about every two years, which makes sense, considering the desktop version is only supported for three years. [08:22] dose any one how to add contacts on skype ? [08:22] the connection is broken and can't be reconnected to but the signal itself registers as golden, i don't know if that matters in your evaluationn [08:22] evaluation* [08:22] Flannel, huh? 8.04 ? [08:22] cdrew: don't paste the output here, paste the pastebin link [08:23] actionParsnip the what? [08:23] daycreature: port forwarding? [08:23] EnragedOstrich just do it with wine or virtualbox you don't need a video for that man ... [08:23] daycreature: ok, then that strongly suggests a ubuntu driver issue. In your place I would google the wifi card and see if there's a known issue/solution... [08:23] tweaker25: Please stop repeating your question so often. 30-45 minutes is a good rate. Also, an actual question is more likely to get answered than a link to a post somewhere. [08:23] cdrew: in terminal, type lsusb and hit enter [08:23] cdrew: copy the text then go to www.pastebin.com [08:23] CaptainMorgan: yes, before 8.04 was 6.06, which was two years. 10.04 is two years after 8.04, etc. [08:23] I am trying to eject my disk with the Apple Keyboard disk-eject key, the picture displays in the upper-right yet the disk does not eject. I recently copied to contents of the disk onto my computer, could it be not-ejecting because it is still copying? [08:23] It looks like it has finished. [08:23] my wifi card is an onboard piece to an ASUS motherboard [08:23] cdrew: put the text there and hit paste, the page will change and you copy the address of the new page and paste it here [08:23] I doubt there will be any such documentation [08:23] I had looked and found none before I came here [08:24] Flannel it's make a day that I search that's way enough, I won't sleep until I got an awnser ... [08:24] actionParsnip what pic? [08:24] cdrew: not a pic, the output of the command [08:24] oh in linux [08:24] I understood that this was where, if there was not available a current solution, one my developed for you [08:24] Nevermind, eject command fixed this. [08:24] Flannel, I'm jealous though... am I missing anything by keeping 8.04 for the *full five years* even though the next LTS will be released when I still have three years of support on 8.04? [08:25] Nice? sitting on work have nothing to do before 10 am and chatting on ubuntu relay chat while drinking Ubuntu Cola :p [08:25] is there a way to use the live session to use the graphics settings on my setup ? [08:25] cdrew: well, yeah [08:25] my => may be* [08:25] actionParsnip, like i said [08:25] how can I set the default locale in hardy ? [08:25] * Kartagis jumps up and down [08:25] actionParsnip, i cant do that sort of thing right now === MaJ is now known as wTf|MaJ [08:25] !locale | moya [08:25] moya: To set up and configure your locales, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf [08:25] cdrew: got a usb memory stick? [08:25] Flannel, likely app support, upgrades, features.. etc.... confusing to me why anyone would hold on for those three extra years on their Server production [08:25] actionParsnip, yep [08:25] in System > Preferences > Sound, Sounds tab, I changed the system startup sound, but it still defaults. any ideas? [08:25] CaptainMorgan: The fact that the server is supported for five just means you have more time to plan your migration. 8.04 can only upgrade to 10.04 (you won't be able to upgrade directly to 12.04) so you'll have to upgrade eventually. [08:26] cdrew: lsusb > ~/output.txt [08:26] to have my truetype fonts in a new machine, is it enough to 'cp /usr/share/fonts/truetype/' or do i need to use aptitude? [08:26] actionParsnip, ??? [08:26] cdrew: put the file on the usb stick and transfer it to the windows boot via that [08:26] (cp from old machine) [08:26] daycreature: I don't know where you formed that conclusion. My experience has been that if there isn't a current solution, you're generally out of luck. I would still google the motherboard model & see if someone else has encountered/solved the problem before [08:26] cdrew: its a terminal command [08:26] but my request was declared invalid after i submitted it so then after taking all those steps i came here [08:26] Flannel, thanks! [08:26] CaptainMorgan: because they need time to make sure the migration will go smoothly, etc. Or aren't in a position to upgrade until 2011 or 2012 [08:26] cdrew: type: lsusb > ~/output.txt [08:26] But why would my bug be considered "invalid" is my question [08:26] * tweaker25 will need 1 week of hard fps gaming to pull the pressure out after he get is graphics settings working ... [08:26] 1 min [08:26] owen1, yes, or ~/.fonts [08:26] cdrew: you will now have a text file you can move [08:26] is that not a legitimate bug? [08:27] daycreature: For an answer to that question, you might try #ubuntu-bugs [08:27] Damn I'd have to explain all that again. It's worth it though, I think. [08:27] daycreature: Just ask why your bug was marked invalid (give them the number, etc) [08:27] daycreature: No need to explain [08:28] actionParsnip, sorry but i cant do this right now. i can do it tomorrow tho [08:28] * tweaker25 pull a grenade open the bot mouth, drop it and watch the boom !!! [08:28] my mouse broke [08:28] Kartagis: but i had to install inconsolata with aptitude, isn't it mean that i'll have to do it as well? [08:28] tweaker25: please stop the offtopic comments.

[08:30] owen1, you can use it [08:30] where do i go to change whether or not my ip address is got automatically or not [08:30] owen1: er, you don't need the ttf-liberation/ part.

[08:40] thanks ubottu [08:40] I can't download torrents because it stops my wifi connection (but signal reads fine, 90% constant regardless of if I am connected to it or not), and I cannot reconnect despite the excellent signal, the only remedy being a physical restart of the operating system, after which the connection works fine UNLESS of course i try to resume or start a new torrent download [08:40] In short I can't download torrents [08:40] i have had ubuntu the os since last year [08:40] ubuntu 'the os' [08:40] (I can, but only if I'm willing to let it download a little, disconnect, reset, download a little, disconnect, reset, tens of times. [08:40] daycreature: tried restarting networking instead? [08:40] _ [08:40] and i have made my own distro based on it [08:41] who is alesd [08:41] daycreature: tried restricting your torrent download speed in the app [08:41] Yes, ActionParsnip, I do nearly every time [08:41] Yes, and upload. [08:41] daycreature: so even if yo restrict it to say 20k/s you get no web browsing? [08:42] Also while the torrents are working I never get speeds higher than say 50kb/s to 300kb/s, but on the windows operating system on torrent downloads I get upwards of 1.8mb/s [08:42] well does any body know how to use dail-up on ubuntu or know how to use the gnome ppp ? [08:42] !dialup | otter_ [08:42] otter_: You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto - Also try disabling/removing KNetworkManager if KDE applications cannot connect using dial-up [08:42] Yes.

[08:42] i'll try at thanks [08:43] ooops [08:43] it's as though just the fact that it's downloading a torrent triggers the operating system to refuse to connect [08:43] miss spell [08:43] losher: teasing? iam non native too btw [08:43] daycreature: have you tried using different programs for torrents? [08:43] daycreature: does it stop all network connectivity? Can you ping web addresses? Can you run apt-get upgrade etc and the files come down? [08:43] losher: i was saying in a way like. he is 'the man' [08:43] get it? [08:43] have you ever tried going to my youtube channel pyro012792 [08:43] daycreature: Sounds like a problem with the wifi driver to me. [08:43] indus: oh, right... [08:44] lstarnes: Deluge (10+ times), Transmission (15+ times), azureus (20 [08:44] losher: since iam happy with ubuntu i said, ubuntu 'the os' ") [08:44] + times) each attempt on all of them failed conclusively and had the same symptoms [08:44] sorry about that i got disconnect, still learning [08:44] How do I fix the wifi driver [08:44] daycreature: next time it happens, save the output of dmesg somewhere [08:44] There is no driver software offered on the site for this for a linux system [08:44] how do i save that output [08:45] daycreature: can you do other web stuff, except web browse while torrents run [08:45] I'm not very apt with operating system functionality [08:45] daycreature: in a terminal, dmesg > file.txt [08:45] daycreature: `dmesg > dmesg.output [08:45] how I am able to find the IP address for all access points via my router? [08:45] No I can't do ANYTHING with the web once torrents breaks the connection until I reset [08:45] daycreature: you can also look at the output of dmesg directly by running dmesg [08:45] the wifi driver is build in the kernel of the linux [08:45] angel_: access its web interface and look at the dhcp client list [08:46] otter_: might be a module ;) [08:46] see you guy later [08:46] before i download a torrent though, i CAN do anything with the web, I can stream full length movies, download music (html not torrent), watch flash, play java games, anything at all other than torrent [08:46] ActionParsnip: there are some other clients available there, but there is no IP and Mac for the access points? [08:46] daycreature, the only thing that I can think of is that your ISP is doing it, with the windows software you might be 'using only encrypted connections', try setting that in your linux torrent apps. [08:46] daycreature: thos are all in a web browser [08:46] daycreature: you can also look at the output of dmesg directly by running dmesg [08:46] how do i directly run it [08:46] daycreature: you are missing the point [08:46] daycreature: in a terminal, dmesg [08:46] yes action, but i can't ping or anything else [08:46] daycreature: can you ping while torrents run? Can you chat using a chat client while torrents run? [08:47] or even network locally with the wireless router [08:47] daycreature: in retrospect, what I said was unclear [08:47] it's not "internet connection" ability that's being stopped it's the ability to connect to the wifi network at all [08:47] durt: daycreature deluge's default configuration is to encrypt everything [08:47] therefore my computer becomes an island and absolutely cannot communicate with anything outside it at all, if that's what your asking [08:47] daycreature: thats what i meant, the big list of stuff you can't do is all use in the same browser and you told us that doesnt work, so we needed to know if other apps work which we now know doesnt also. [08:47] daycreature: Have you tried connecting to your router with a cable? Does torrenting kill the network then too? [08:48] daycreature: can you ping while torrents run? Can you chat using a chat client while torrents run? [08:48] oh right, buggy router os then? [08:48] Yes absolutely with no issue [08:48] daycreature: does it work when you toggle networking on and off? [08:48] until suddenly [08:48] it all just cuts off [08:48] No, toggling does not correct this [08:48] it is attempted every time, along with router reset [08:48] daycreature: when it dies, run a terminal and type: dmesg | tail [08:48] all failing [08:48] daycreature: then give us the output [08:48] i MUST reset if I want to re establish connection [08:49] ok action [08:49] you don't need network to do a dmesg [08:49] daycreature: just give the output after your restart [08:49] daycreature: in a pastebin of course ;) [08:49] daycreature: Have you tried connecting to your router with a cable? Does torrenting kill the network then too? [08:49] No, it doesn't, and yes, I've tried it. [08:49] Hullo! I'm wondering if there's a way to get radeon 9200 working with compiz on Ubuntu 9.04. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver seems to indicate that it is possible, but when following the instructions, one of the commands doesn't give a desired output and I don't know how to proceed. In specific, running "glxinfo |grep vendor" gives multiple lines lines reading "Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0"." How can I proceed?

[08:56] (I'm not sure because I deleted that on my system.) [08:56] MrStein: check in /var/log/installer/ [08:56] 10x [08:57] How do I determine which display driver Ubuntu is currently using? lspci only tells what the device itself is, right? [08:58] is there a command to display all available IPs in a network? [08:58] Ileden: sudo lshw -C display may say [08:58] angel_: available as in "unused"? [08:58] angel_: you could write a script to ping IPs and echo to a file what doesnt reply [08:58] angel_: I doubt it.. [08:59] nmap -sP, and you'd get the ones that are active. [08:59] Can somebody recommend an Ubuntu package for webstats OTHER THAN awstats? [09:00] jumbers: webilizer, there are tons if you search the repo, people like different ones though [09:00] Right now it's achieving 1.2MB/s download in the torrent, it is likely to soon cut out.

[09:00] it's up to 4.8kiB/s [09:00] MrStein: hmm.. well.. that's the only place I know of for installer logs.. don't know where else to look === cn is now known as Guest6708 [09:01] it's oscillating from 0 to that. [09:01] ActionParsnip: Thanks. It seems "UNCLAIMED" means there's no display driver active (I assume some generic is being used then), which is as I expected. [09:01] jumbers: polymon tests sites for connectivity if thats what webstats does [09:01] down is 1.1MiB/s [09:01] Ileden: yep, you need to driver up [09:01] I installed the ubuntu-restricted-extras package. which included the w32codecs. but i'm still not able to hear the audio of certain wmv files.

However, I'd like to not have apt-get continually complaining about the dependency, so am thinking of changin the dependency using ... equivs? I tried looking for tutorial online, but not muc [09:14] i want to understand the logic behind that.. understand the maths [09:14] joshua__: Xfce usually just uses the GNOME apps - "Software Sources" is software-properties-gtk, Synaptic is 'synaptic' [09:14] grawity: there is also a panel item that you can add that does keyboard layout [09:14] c_nick: then you're in the wrong channel.. this is ubuntu support.. perhaps there is a ##math channel or something [09:15] what math..let me try [09:15] tmba: Try #ubuntu-motu instead [09:15] OK [09:15] Slart: ##math only 2 ppl.. one not talking :P [09:16] gabkdlly: thanks, I found it [09:16] Im trying to install me wacom drivers but the first thing they want is CD wacomdriver?

[09:49] Nah it determined that the avi streaming was broken and offered to fix it [09:49] maxagaz: grep lm /proc/cpuinfo [09:49] currently it's fixing the indexing and it's at 3% [09:49] maxagaz: if you see any output, it's amd [09:50] maxagaz: lshw -C cpu [09:50] Is there a patch for ATI's Catalyst drivers for kernel 2.6.29? I know slackware and arch has it [09:51] Hi! Anyone here who can help me to install Savage 2? Or maybe knows some other channel for this? Everything goes according to this: http://phorolinux.com/how-to-install-savage-2-a-tortured-soul-on-linux.html THEN read comment #6 cause I've got the same problem [09:51] draogn_, Flannel: Thanks, I'll try! My browser is running hot on the background browsing for answers from other sources. :) [09:51] hi all - boot problem - experimented with splashy. When I went back to usplash by reinstalling the package through apt-get, the boot menu still calls /sbin/splashy [09:52] how do I manually change the boot script to load usplash? [09:52] !usplash | timClicks [09:52] timClicks: 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 [09:53] leaf-sheep: thanks - will investigate [09:56] leaf-sheep: thanks, /boot/initrd... updated [09:56] timClicks: Awesome. You rock. [09:57] much love [09:58] ubuntuforums are down? [09:58] hi, is ubuntu the most "on_the_edge" debian at the moment? [09:59] porter: what do you mean by on the edge? [09:59] richardcavell: in the sense of SID [09:59] Hi. [09:59] owen1-> yes [10:00] porter: Sid as in the debian distro? [10:00] quibbler: please bring them back [10:00] Question: How can I get back to KDE-3.5 under Jaunty ? Thanks [10:00] owen1: are you joking? [10:00] i need a very modern debiansed distro and i'm not sure if that would be ubuntu sidux or some other distro [10:00] owen1-> :0....:) [10:00] how to tell ubuntu to load slim as login manager? [10:01] porter: Ubuntu is pretty stable. [10:01] Do other Linux distributions use a similar program as 'System_Testing' {Enter: i.) System > Administration > System_Testing; ii.) /usr/bin/checkbox-gtk.} also? [10:01] moymoy: quibbler is the web master of ubuntu forums. [10:01] richardcavell: dragon_ i need a very modern debiansed distro and i'm not sure if that would be ubuntu sidux or some other distro [10:01] !kde3 | Garp [10:01] Garp: Kubuntu 8.04 ships with KDE3 and full support. Jaunty does not include KDE3 but a remix install CD can be obtained at https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Kubuntu/Kde3/Jaunty . This is not officially supported. Support, instructions and ways to contribute can be found on the wiki page [10:01] porter debian unstable is a rolling release and prolly the latest practical release [10:01] stability is not an issue for my purpose [10:01] porter: I suggest debian. [10:01] question, for the install "ubuntu inside windows" option when you insert the disk when running windows, when you uninstll it does it also remove the option to load ubuntu at startup, i'm guessing so but bro freaks out when things are changed [10:01] owen1: do `sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm` and you should be able to choose whatever to log in with from there [10:02] ubottu: thanks. [10:02] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [10:02] i am using gcrontab to schedule a zenity alert like this: /usr/bin/zenity --question --text "¿some text here?". The problem is it doesn't show up. [10:02] Hello. Where can I find out more about yesterday's kernel update (2.6.24-24.55 to 2.6.24.-24.56)? [10:02] porter: I don't understand your question [10:02] moymoy: thanks [10:02] Flannel: thanks for letting me know, there are many debian out there [10:02] richardcavell: sorry, i rephrase : [10:02] ubottu: ... The ISO are fine for a new install, but I would prefer some apt repository. I'll have a look... [10:02] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [10:02] porter: debian testing or debian unstable, depending on how "edgy" you want to be. [10:02] porter there are really only 3, [10:02] owen1: quibbler isn't the master of the forums. [10:02] moymoy: /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: gdm is broken or not fully installed [10:03] owen1: And I've poked someone who can fix it. [10:03] owen1: if you don't have gdm, then kdm or whichever one you're using right now [10:03] jpds: is it php? if it's ruby i can help [10:03] owen1: Yes. [10:03] richardcavell: i am looking for a very uptodate modern, "the most edgy" debianised distro to fool around, stability is absolutely no issue [10:03] ubottu: OK? I found it, thanks. [10:03] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [10:03] http://www.squiby.net/level/461319 [10:03] porter: debian unstable is what you're looking for then. [10:03] Sid [10:04] thought so [10:04] moymoy: thanks, i don't know what i have. it's alternate CD, but i installed xfce as well. [10:04] sawe [10:04] now, there are many knoppix sidux ubuntu etc .... which is "the most edgy" one? [10:04] porter: Debian unstable is the latest usable distro, or debian testing is the most unstable and bleeding edge === billing_ is now known as sinichi [10:04] porter: debian. [10:04] owen1: hold on.. lemme find out what it is for xfce [10:04] moymoy: i think gdm [10:04] richardcavell, porter: testing is more stable than unstable. [10:04] porter: Ubuntu is derived from Debian. If you want bleeding edge, go to debian. [10:04] owen1: but dpkg just said you didn't have gdm? [10:05] Flannel: Yep sorry [10:05] moymoy: /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: gdm is broken or not fully installed [10:05] for the install "ubuntu inside windows" option when you insert the disk when running windows, when you uninstll it does it also remove the option to load ubuntu at startup, i'm guessing so but bro freaks out when things are changed [10:05] Dayofswords: Yes [10:05] ok thank you [10:05] ok, then let me ask this : whats the diff between Sid and Ubuntu? [10:05] moymoy: it say it's broken [10:05] in terms of "edgy" [10:05] porter: They're not directly comparable [10:06] porter: But sid would be the most edgy [10:06] i guess ubuntu is more edgy than Sid [10:06] hi...is there any way to put/create shortcut of my winxp vdi image on desktop? [10:06] porter sids a rolling release, ubuntu releases are snapshots [10:06] porter: No. [10:06] porter: Ubuntu is much more stable. It's packages are much older. [10:06] Ah! [10:06] porter: sid is what we take and make Ubuntu out of. [10:06] ok, guys, now i got it [10:06] moymoy: should i install it? is it the default for xfce? [10:06] thanks a bunch [10:06] owen1: you're right, it does use gdm .. well either do a dpkg-reconfigure on the package you want to use as your login or reinstall gdm to dpkg-reconfigure gdm [10:06] Sid it is then [10:06] "Ubuntu - stable Debian unstable". [10:07] owen1: yup, it's default for xfce .. reinstall it then do what i first said to do [10:07] last Q: whats the diff between sidux and Ubuntu? [10:07] jpds: Isn't it debian testing? [10:07] samsol: Right-click on VDI Image --> Make link ? [10:07] moymoy: ok [10:07] Flannel: Yeah, debian testing [10:07] on the instal inside windows, when you choose "c:\" as the install location, is it going to be like "c:\ubuntu" or something similar? [10:07] Flannel: No. [10:07] leaf-sheep: ok i'll try that now [10:07] Dayofswords: WUBI? [10:07] Flannel: We sync packages straight from Debian unstable. [10:07] Dayofswords: yup.. something like that... your brother doesn't that either? === wedew is now known as cepret-ubuntu [10:08] jpds but Ubuntu doesn't use the unstable versions of the packages, surely, in most cases? [10:08] if i uninstall it in the like 10 days he doesnt use, i'd be fine [10:08] Dayofswords: and don't worry about clutter.. because the install should just all be in one file because it's a virtual environment [10:08] ok, thanks again guys, /me waves [10:08] Dayofswords: but why do you want a wubi install? it's much slower [10:09] moymoy: I don't think it's any slower. [10:09] hi all [10:09] i just want to fiddle with it, but not worry about partioning and what not [10:09] grawity: it'll be sitting right in a fragmented NTFS partition [10:09] and unstall later [10:10] Dayofswords: i see.. [10:10] Dayofswords: Ubuntu is an OS, not an application. [10:10] the installer says it slower, so i'm guessing its slower [10:10] leaf-sheep: he's talking about the wubi install [10:10] moymoy: I know. [10:11] I don't think WUBI should exist today, but unfortunately. :) [10:11] Dayofswords: the reason it's slower is because the virtual ubuntu environment will be sitting right in a windows NTFS partition.. and that partition is most likely heavily fragmented [10:11] moymoy: but it's a single contiguous file [10:11] leaf-sheep: There's absolutely nothing wrong with wubi. [10:11] moymoy: slower is fine, i'm just bored and want to try some stuff here [10:12] Do other Linux distributions than Ubuntu use a similar program as 'System_Testing' {Enter: i.) System > Administration > System_Testing; ii.) /usr/bin/checkbox-gtk.} also? [10:12] Dayofswords: it's good that you're experimenting though [10:12] people when I'm watching video by VLC sometimes my screen is stopping, I mean everything stops only mouse moving, but I couldn't do anything. Also the video sound is working too. Any idea? [10:13] i also want to see if it even works here, the live version always failed to startup [10:13] some do some don't [10:13] Fox_1_1: your system hangs when using vlc? can you shutdown or anything? [10:13] owen1-> forums are up! [10:13] moymoy: hi. remember me? === angela is now known as Guest25919 [10:13] Dayofswords: Does the liveCD fail with an error message? [10:13] quibbler: good job! thank you so much [10:13] Dayofswords: if the liveCD doesn't work, it usually indicates some hardware incompatibility, that's what the livecd is for anyway. [10:14] yes, hangs, no I can't do anything [10:14] owen1-> you are welcome [10:14] Cybertinus: hey Cybertinus, how's the Eee PC? [10:14] moymoy: I was the gui with the not-starting X yesterday. And then a lot of other bad things started to happen [10:14] moymoy: I found the problem. My RAM is dead :'( [10:14] Cybertinus: how can i forget you? you're the last person i spoke to before sleeping [10:14] Cybertinus: well at least RAM is cheap =p [10:15] Is 128MB ram, 930MHz (pentium III) sufficient to run Ubuntu 8 or 9? [10:15] Cybertinus: If you see anything on screen, your RAM is most probably NOT dead.

[10:16] ok [10:16] dragon_: then the RAM is really dead if you don't see anything. But I ran memtest86. It filled my screen with errors within 5 seconds, so the RAM isn't working that well :p [10:16] joakimk_: You can get away with 128 (JUST) in Xubuntu but not in regular Ubuntu or in KDE [10:16] genii: I see. Thanks! [10:16] joakimk_: You're welcome [10:16] how can compile a c program? i use this command gcc -o 1.c is this right? [10:16] moymoy: yeah, it is easily replacable. It runs on ordanary DDR2-667 SO-DIMM [10:16] BABER: gcc -o name name.c [10:17] Cybertinus: that makes more sense. [10:17] moymoy: I couldn't move any window or click somewhere. But6 when I opening editor and typing and if in that moment it hangs and I'm continuing typing after backing there is my text in editor [10:18] here i want some help. i replaced xfwm4 with metacity and now the theme is changed to ubuntu clear looks but i cannot open the window manager to change theme === batosayGuest5104 is now known as conan [10:18] grawity: i use this command gcc -o test.c but this error appear gcc:no input file [10:19] Fox_1_1: what are you using as your video output in VLC? i usually have it set to xv or opengl ... but now i use Mplayer and i'm much more pleased [10:19] BABER: ...read my message again.

[10:20] yes [10:20] sorry i as away, i might have missed messages, and i cant scrollup as the page gets clear. [10:21] Fox_1_1: might be a problem with X .. have you looked in the log files?

You didn't specify the file name you want to #include [10:23] Blizzerand: Yes. See #ubuntu+1 for details (Karmic isn't stable) [10:23] Blizzerand: Not to be recommended.

[10:24] error404notfound: have you tried installing awk from http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/gawk ? [10:24] Blizzerand: yes it's possible, but a lot of things will be broken probably [10:25] Nah this is an old PC. === billing is now known as sinichi [10:25] Blizzerand: okay then.. xD so it's okay for you to experiment with it [10:26] Blizzerand: bring up the prompt with ALT+F2 .. and i think it was `update-manager -d` [10:26] Blizzerand: /join #ubuntu+1 and read the topic. There may be special instructions. [10:26] which is a good font for very small size [10:26] moymoy : Yep . This even runs Fedora 12 rawhide [10:26] an1 tell me plz [10:27] hi there. for some reason my syslog, mail.log and mail.info logs keep going up a fair bit. about an hour ago they were 66mb, now there 97mb, this keeps going until they get to about 4gig and then the server gets clogged up. it seems like theyre being filled up with stuff from postfix(as we run a mail server). Anything I can do? [10:29] AdvoWork: you could disable logging but that's not really recommended.. you could also start logging to a remote computer with more diskspace.. or rotate the logs more often (they should compress nicely) [10:29] Blizzerand: did you get the command i sent you? [10:29] Yes [10:29] And thanks [10:29] Blizzerand: and i wish i had an old machine to play with.. i hate when i mess my only computer up [10:29] Blizzerand: no problem [10:30] moymoy : lol [10:30] moymoy: try using virtualbox [10:30] I am looking for to import a pdf into open office, with Picture from file I get the code of the PDF not the visual [10:30] tmba: i do use it now xD === Vobine is now known as Psychoholic [10:31] moymoy: so mess up the virtual boxes, instead of your main machine :) [10:32] just realized...

You can try running the windows version on Ubuntu using 'wine' though. [10:42] dragon : ofcourse .. we can but we don't want to make any paid software .. so i hv asked for any alternate .. and more over i hv some dwg files [10:42] Do other Linux distributions than Ubuntu use a similar program as 'System_Testing' {Enter: i.)

In #freenode [10:51] moymoy: Assuming you did register a nickname, confirmed your email, etc. [10:51] Can I ask: Could there ever be a downside to running /etc/init.d/bluetooth stop && /etc/init.d/bluetooth start? [10:51] if you know what partition is your / and your /boot and which kernel you want to boot, you can do it... do you have a separate machine you can irc on? [10:51] so in other words I can click on a menu or type somethign, but I have to disconnect and reconnect to see the result! [10:52] leaf-sheep : i have windows mobile .. i was making use of my mobile camera as webcam through xp .. is there any similar type of provision in ubuntu [10:52] if the hardware of the camera is supported, you can probabnly get it going [10:52] Amo__: should you uncomment ";[homes]"? [10:52] richardcavell: You could use /etc/init.d/bluetooth restart instead. You're attempting to restart/stop/start a service. No downhill. [10:52] nsadmin: i'm on a sepeate machine :) [10:53] leaf-sheep: The stop & start was in a script I saw. I don't know why it doesn't use restart [10:53] leaf-sheep: yup, registered [10:53] ok, when you boot the machine do you see a grub menu? [10:53] nsadmin, could it have something to do with which partition is labelled boot? [10:53] yup [10:53] thank u all for the answers.. [10:53] nsadmin: and i can get into windows fine [10:54] leaf-sheep: Sometimes when you suspend and resume a MacBook the bluetooth service hangs, so you stop it and start it and it seems to work again - it's a script that runs when you thaw [10:54] ok, boot the machine, and as soon as you get the menu, move the menu item so it doesn't time out [10:54] done [10:54] now read the text... it should tell you how to get to the shell... once you do, you should see GRUB> [10:55] jrib: nothing more [10:55] i'm in the old grub [10:55] oh ok, in the CLI now [10:55] ok, cool. [10:56] let's see... type root ( [10:56] Amo__: try #samba, they'll know better how to troubleshoot [10:56] don't hit enter [10:56] hit tab [10:56] jrib: ok, thx for all [10:56] hi! Does anyone have any experience wih muliple monitors? I have a dual screen setup and I want my lcd tv to be no 3. I'm going to buy 2 nvidia dual dvi pcie cards which support sli. Is it a problem to set this up or does work out of the box.. or not at all? [10:56] does it show you what choices you have? maybe hit tab again [10:57] it fills it with root (hd0, [10:57] !xinerama > aimtrainer [10:57] aimtrainer, please see my private message [10:57] when i hit tab again it gives me a list of partitions [10:57] ok, so hd0 is your only drive [10:57] yup [10:57] thanks moymoy [10:57] and one of those partitions is your / partition [10:57] i could have told you that ;) [10:58] aimtrainer: no problem =p [10:58] yes, but you wouldn't be learning the grub shell right now :) [10:58] yeah, i think that's my ubuntu one [10:58] nsadmin, true, true [10:58] so you have one partition for ubuntu? [10:59] which one is it in grubspeak? (hd0,what?) [10:59] Another question: If I do sudo modprobe -r appletouch && sudo modprobe appletouch, could that ever cause any harm? Whether or not the person has the appletouch kernel modules installed? [10:59] i have a windows recover partition for vista, an ubuntu partition, a storage partition, a windows 7 partition, and a swap partition [10:59] dunno, i can boot into gparted live or ubuntu live to check though [11:00] the listed partition give me 5 [11:00] 0 [11:00] 0 1 2 3 4 5 [11:00] well you don't have to do that... let's trial-and-error... [11:00] let's guess 3 [11:00] 0 1 and 5 is unknown, 0 and 1 are 0x7, 2 and 4 are 0x83 and 5 is 0x82 [11:00] so make it read: root (hd0,3) and hit enter and see what it says [11:00] there is no 3 [11:01] my bad [11:01] ok [11:01] 0 1 2 4 5 [11:01] 2 and 4 are also ext2fs [11:01] so 2 and 4 are the choices,,, they are the 83s, the 82 is the swap [11:01] try 2 [11:01] (apparantly). although i'm sure jaunty is ext3 [11:02] okay [11:02] hey all [11:02] anybody aware of proftpd ? [11:02] I have had to replace the motherboard in this system, luckyly it boots the system fine but is there a command I should run to ensure the system has more accurate drivers? [11:02] hi people! my cpu (acpitemp) is 65C. what can I do in order to cool it down? well, except turning the comp off or blowing into the cpu :-D [11:02] now try: kernel /boot/vm (hit tab) [11:02] dont hit enter yet [11:02] i made it root (hd0,2) and pushed enter, and nothing happened. probably because that's my storage partition and doesn't have any bot info [11:03] okay [11:03] it won't boot, we're just setting a placeholder grub has called root === sladen_ is now known as sladen [11:03] chickyhip! [11:03] pushed tab, it gave me error 15: file not found [11:03] hey.. can anyone tell me how to add user in proftpd [11:04] hi there, i'm running ubuntu jaunty, and i want to install an older lib (libftdi.so.0) - whats the easiest way to achieve this, and can i run it in parallel to libftdi.so.1? [11:04] shall i try root (hd0,4)? [11:04] samay: the users that proftp adds are basically the users on the OS .. you can even "import" a user .. to do that, click the import button [11:04] bayer: Usually newer libraries take precedence over olders ones and I don't think you can run parrallel libs [11:04] no, stay with 2 for now... did you hit enter on the root command? [11:05] yeah [11:05] moymoy, Thanks... I did try that.. but it didnt help :( [11:05] ok, did it say ext2 etc? [11:05] nope [11:05] moymoy, Me still not able to figure out why this is happening [11:05] who actually develops linux flash player? that piece of ***** animates things even when tabs are hidden... and news sites just love to put many animated commercials... i didnt see such problem on windows ... so which noob is repsonsible for this? [11:05] didn't say anything, just took me to a new line [11:05] hmm. [11:05] samay: what's happening? [11:05] ok, we'll go with it for now... [11:05] if i open more than 3 articles, i usually have to kill firefox [11:05] i added a new user using useradd command [11:05] try this: [11:05] also changed the password [11:05] miha: Get AdblockPlus. [11:06] kernel /boo (then hit tab) [11:06] but when i try to login, it does work [11:06] does it complete to boot? [11:06] nope, error 15 [11:06] samay: it does work.. and the problem is? [11:06] ok, we'll try the other partn [11:06] root (hd0,4) [11:06] enter? [11:07] yep [11:07] moymoy, The problem is with login [11:07] no info, no errors, just a new line [11:07] when i try connecting via FTP [11:07] i get connected [11:07] ok, try: [11:07] but authentication fails [11:07] !enter | samay [11:07] samay: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [11:07] kernel /boo (tab) [11:07] yup, it completes [11:07] samay: oh .. in the user tab, you have to type in the password for the user and click apply, then activate the server [11:08] make it look like: kernel /boot/vm then hit tab [11:08] progre55: run less processes on your CPU, or buy some better cooling. make sure both your case and CPU are being cooled... [11:08] moymoy, Didnt get u [11:09] thx for the one saying about adblock plus... it's slightly better [11:09] nsadmin: gives me 4 possible files vmcoreinfo..., vmlinuz..., vmlinuz..., and another vmcore... [11:09] but still linux flash player is crap [11:09] different kernels [11:09] you want one of the vmlinuzes [11:10] I am getting error 550 while I am trying to modify/delete/add files using FTP. [11:10] 2.6.28-11-generic and 2.6.28-12-generic [11:10] which one? [11:10] Hi guys. Are there any chances to see FF3.5 and OOo3.1 in the karmic? [11:10] hmm, the later one, the 12 [11:10] enter/ [11:10] ? [11:10] they're both the same kernel version so maybe either is fine [11:10] no [11:10] samay: there's an "Apply" button to click before your settings take effect .. you can set the password right in proftpd [11:10] help, i did ZOOM in GNOME , how do I do Unzooom? !! [11:11] !ff3.5 | sergey_ [11:11] sergey_: Firefox 3.5 Final is available for Jaunty by installing the package firefox-3.5 | FF3.5 is referred to as Shiretoko on your UI, see http://is.gd/1reB3 for an explanation | Hardy & Intrepid: http://is.gd/1jkNY [11:11] moymoy, Me not using a GUI [11:11] okay, it's ready and T-counting [11:11] sergey_: FF3.5 is already in the 9.04 repos [11:11] Super key+5 don`t react. 8.04 here [11:11] actually get rid of this line for now, I want to see the device.map [11:11] samay: i see.. but i can't see why you can't log in.. ... have you tried logging in to that user using `su` or through gdm? [11:11] try this: cat /boot/grub/device.map [11:12] How'd you reinstall the kernel after replacing a broken motherboard? [11:12] what does it say hd0 is? [11:12] moymoy, Yes [11:12] /dev/sda [11:13] my screen is ZOOMED in Gnome, how do I do Unzoom without restart? [11:13] hd1 is /dev/sdb [11:13] ok, and this 4 must be /dev/sda5 [11:13] so there is a second drive [11:13] nope [11:13] samay: can you confirm that your server is running? and what browser/client are you trying to log in from? [11:13] grawity, thanks, that worked, and sorry for this long delay, i was away fixing a picnic. [11:13] moymoy, dragon_ thanks, I know it's available for 9.04. I meant the 9.10 defaults. I'm playging with yesterday 'daily-live' image and here is FF3.0.0.11 and OOo3.0. Though I know that DebianImportFreeze phase is finished at 25th June. [11:13] that's what's wierd [11:13] there used to be? [11:13] moymoy, I did try using root login and password [11:13] well [11:13] maybe it is a question for ubuntu-devel... [11:14] it doesnt' matter that much I guess... but yes it's weird [11:14] no second drive. uhh, no, i mean, i've booted off an external drive many times, USBs, external HDDs, etc. [11:14] sergey_: It is there by default in karmic. For karmic questions, #ubuntu+1 is the best place. [11:14] moymoy, I am working on ubuntu jaunty on my computer and the server is Ubuntu 8.10 [11:14] it's a laptop [11:14] So, I should probably hit Ctrl+Alt+Backspace, since Gnome Unziim funcion with Super+5 on 8.04 Don`t work//? [11:14] samay: just type in the user used by proftpd [11:14] hello all [11:14] samay: no need to log in with root [11:14] so the root partition is /dev/sda5 [11:15] so here's your kernel line: [11:15] how do you know that the root is sda5? [11:15] thanks for the support, guys, I haven't seen a question w/o an answer here. you rock [11:15] moymoy, I tried that [11:15] newbie question po [11:15] moymoy, thanks anyways.. [11:15] kernel /boot/vmlin(tab)12 ro root=/dev/sda5 [11:16] moymoy, Do u want me to send the passwd file ? [11:16] samay: =\ .. weird because i set up my server just earlier today, albeit i cheated and used a gui [11:16] samay: but i did the same as you `adduser` .. and it worked [11:16] trying to connect using citrix need help [11:16] nsadmin: how do you know that the root is sda5? (just for learning purposes) [11:16] sergey_: what is 00o3.1? [11:16] samay: but i also had `--disabled-password` and `disabled-login` for my ftp user [11:16] moymoy, what is the difference between adduser and useradd ? [11:17] richardcavell, OpenOffice.org [11:17] moymoy, I did useradd [11:17] well we know the drive in grubspeak is hd0 [11:17] sergey_: ok [11:17] Ubuntu forums are down [11:17] we searched around for the root partition, found it at hd0,4 [11:17] samay: they do the same thing, but different distros might use different commands.. in ubuntu it happens to be adduser [11:17] I am getting error 550 while I am trying to modify/delete/add files using FTP. [11:17] But I found a great hi-res picture of a Ferrari F430 on the Internet that is now my desktop background [11:17] grub is zero-based, so you have to add one to the partition [11:18] oh yeah, and everything is one behind, because there's no 0,0 [11:18] so that's really something5 [11:18] okay cool [11:18] moymoy, samay: adduser is a wrapper around useradd, and adduser performs some extra operations. [11:18] the something is in device.map [11:18] oh.. thanks dragon.. didnt knew [11:18] when I connect my ipod I'd like gtkpod to start, where can I set that option? [11:18] so try that kernel line [11:19] okay [11:19] i put it in and pushed enter [11:19] and? [11:19] didn't get an error [11:19] so i assume that's a good thing [11:19] it's supposed to read it in... [11:19] now i'm leaving shell and trying to boot ubuntu [11:19] ok, let's try to get the initrd now [11:19] wait [11:19] ok [11:19] first do this: [11:20] initrd /boot/initrd (tab) [11:20] !enter | nsadmin [11:20] nsadmin: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [11:20] anyone knows how to use citrix in ubuntu [11:20] what's initrd? i'm guessing vmlinuz is an image which the machine boots into, but what is initrd? [11:20] dragon_: I can't really do that and be interactive at the same time; you're going to have to bear with me [11:20] how to use console login instead of xdm/gdm/slim? [11:21] nsadmin: no problem, it wasn't specifically for you anyways. [11:21] dragon_: i see that now.. xD just read up on useradd =p [11:21] vmlinuz is the kernel, the initrd is an INITial Ram Disk image which is stored kernel modules necessary to mount / [11:22] i want to extract these files somewhere, and it says i dont have the permissions to extract the files there. Does anyone know how to edit the user permissions? sorry im a n00b [11:22] nsadmin: oh cool that makes sense. then it just boots the files [11:22] bernardlychan: chmod [11:22] ? [11:22] what's that? [11:22] yeah, so did the tab work on the initrd? [11:23] nsadmin, initrd gives me 2 possible files, 11 and 12 [11:23] pick the initrd that matches the kernel version [11:23] 12 [11:23] is the match [11:23] yup, then what? [11:23] bernardlychan: it's a command. you could also just right-click on the file i think [11:23] then hit enter [11:23] properties, permissions [11:23] rottcodd: go edit nautilus' preferences and go to the `media` tab .. it'll let you run a certain program whenever you insert media [11:23] hey guys what's chmod? [11:23] why it's not loading these thing, I dunno... something's different [11:24] bernardlychan: change mode, to change file permissions [11:24] ok [11:24] thanks [11:24] okay, same, no info, no error, just moves on to another blank line (maybe some sort of verbose mode isn't enabled??) [11:24] maybe [11:24] try boot [11:24] type: boot, and hit enter [11:24] just "boot" then enter? [11:24] ok [11:25] LOVELY. It's booting [11:25] so now you have a small introduction to the grub shell [11:25] I am getting error 550 while I am trying to modify/delete/add files using FTP. [11:25] and [11:25] grub 101 [11:26] you know how to boot your os [11:26] okay [11:26] I mean, I think the grub shell is the coolest thing in the world :) [11:26] anirban, the FTP user don't have rights to write [11:26] next to Jessica Alba that is [11:26] haha grub fetish? [11:26] now how do i reflect those changes in menu.lst? [11:27] is it booting all the way? [11:27] yup [11:27] i'm at my desktop [11:27] well ok. [11:27] (home sweet home) i was getting bored of windows 7 [11:27] sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst? [11:27] dabukalam: did you quickly find that nothing was new? =p [11:28] try update-grub as root [11:28] ubuntu is ready to be real alternative to windows, just need a good synch between applications [11:28] I need a good synch so I can wash muh hands! [11:29] is their a program that will shutdown PC at a set time, however allow for 15 minute exstensions (office pc to stop someone from working) [11:29] moymoy: i disagree, nothing is new on the outside, but there is a huge performance improvement, and it feels a lot more snappy. not ubuntu-snappy, but at least it doesn't look like an undeveloped fetus in comparison to ubuntu [11:29] I know I can enter a cronjob, but not the same [11:29] NickDeNeger : How to give them rights ? [11:29] i'm trying to route my vmware vnc through my ubuntu server to the real network but can't figure out whats wrong with my iptables. here is the iptables i'm right now using: http://paste.ubuntu.com/219663/ [11:30] nsadmin, okay, but i already tried that from the live disc and from super grub to no avail [11:30] but now you're booted into your own system; it should work [11:31] those iptables are always a big f***ing riddle ... could some one have a look please, I'm kinda lost on. :) [11:31] nsadmin, it gives me "install the package maintainer's version" "keep local version" and some other options. which one? [11:31] gambi: cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward [11:31] Boohbah: 1 [11:31] hmm? [11:31] gambi: good [11:31] :D [11:31] it's asking this about what? [11:31] grub-update [11:32] confused right now [11:32] How do i go about rotating/compressing or something'ing my log files? specifically syslog, mail.log, mail.info [11:32] i went with the package maintainers [11:32] Boohbah: vnc server is running on 6900 cuz i can telnet into it: telnet 192.168.156.132 6900 [11:32] wait, waht did you do tho? [11:32] AdvoWork: man logrotate [11:32] NickDeNeger : How to give them rights ? [11:33] anirban: give rights to whom? [11:33] nsadmin: i just realised it was telling me that i have previously modified grub manually, and it wants to know if it should restore the default or keep my changes. i selected default [11:33] dragon_ : The FTP users to modify/add files. [11:33] ohh [11:34] nsadmin: after looking at menu.lst i'd like to know what an entry called "Chainload into GRUB 2" means? [11:34] anirban: do they have enough rights to make the change locally? [11:34] do the forums run on ubuntu server? [11:34] there must be a new grub somewhere on your system? [11:34] I just converted my sister's laptop to ubuntu, all my family is running linux now, no more windows support! [11:35] nsadmin: yeah i previously tried to install grub 3 [11:35] dragon_ : I don't think so... The files are showing they are owned by root !! === spc_ is now known as spc [11:35] nsadmin, i think i succeeded but it failed to fix my problme [11:35] !chainload [11:35] Sorry, I don't know anything about chainload [11:35] darn [11:35] dabukalam: rofl.. that was exactly what i thought when i first used ubuntu .. but it's exactly that undeveloped fetus look that makes ubuntu so recognizeable ... i went to a Japanese marken out in the suburbs, and i noticed that their cash registers used Ubuntu .. the window took the whole screen, but i recognized the human theme [11:35] anirban: they need to be modifiable locally. [11:35] anirban: man chown [11:36] :j #debian [11:36] moymoy: if it wasn't for active directory, windows would have died out ages ago [11:36] try update-grub [11:37] nsadmin, i already did that, remember? [11:37] hmm, logrotate must already be working because ive got say syslog.0 etc etc, so if logrotate is doing its job, what else can i do? my log files are getting massive. for mail.log ive got mail.log.0 which was done 6 days ago by the looks of it :S [11:37] hi there. I use Ubuntu 9.04 and I have no sound anymore. [11:37] do the forums run on ubuntu server? [11:37] !sound | suzanne [11:37] suzanne: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).

[11:38] dabukalam: i haven't tested windows 7 myself, but i've heard too many mixed reviews to really believe anything [11:38] AdvoWork: did you check /etc/logrotate.conf and /etc/logrotate.d/ ? [11:39] suzanne: I guess you could try alsaconf (why pulseaudio?) [11:39] dabukalam: lol nice one [11:39] hi [11:39] moymoy: you should try windows 7 [11:39] moymoy: try it. you have nothing to lose [11:39] moymoy: you shouldn't give your own reviews on something from simply what you've read [11:39] moymoy: it's a good idea to know your enemy ;) [11:39] is there some clone program of the windows program that index everything, even the contents and metadata of file ? [11:39] nsadmin: marry me [11:40] locate doesn' index the content [11:40] loeiz: google desktop? [11:40] loeiz: tracker, beagle, ... [11:40] do the forums run on ubuntu server? [11:40] dragon_, yes but another one :à) [11:40] jrib, ok thanks [11:40] nsadmin: IT WORKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [11:40] loeiz: tracker should be installed by default [11:40] why? don't you think our friends-with-benefits relationship fills your needs? :) [11:40] dragon_, its set to weekly, change that to daily? [11:40] jrib, ok :) [11:40] dabukalam: ok, reboot again and try booting win [11:41] nsadmin: :P:D maybe you're right. [11:41] nsadmin: in the process [11:41] AdvoWork: It depends. You can even change it to desired max size. [11:41] nsadmin: it works. [11:42] good :) we're done :) [11:42] * dabukalam feels like a child who has just been given a hug and some candy [11:42] dabukalam: dragon_: already downloading =p .. now all i have to do is compile my virtualbox module D; .. i'll do that when i'm not messing with "galaxy" [11:42] dragon_, i might change to daily and see how that goes. do i need to reload anything once i change weekly -> daily? [11:43] I have that effect on people... [11:43] nsadmin: haha :D thanks a lot [11:43] dangit.. i keep forgetting the ubuntuforums are down [11:43] nsadmin: now i have another question [11:43] AdvoWork: i think there's nothing to reload..

[11:45] oh, so this is a windows driver for ext2? [11:45] which probably doesn't work on win 7 [11:45] dabukalam: did you have ntfs-3g?

[11:49] actionparsnip: sure i'll just reboot into ubuntu [11:50] lf4: maybe email works at least locally [11:50] Hello, do any of you use torque/pbs or gridengine? I realized today that they both appeared on the repository. I use to install them from source/binaries. Do you know if the packages come with a default config? I guess I should install them an see for myself though [11:51] nsadmin: true [11:51] avelldiroll: all debian packages are installed in two phases... an unpack phase and a configure phase... [11:52] Hello. Where can I find out more about yesterday's kernel update (2.6.24-24.55 to 2.6.24.-24.56)? [11:52] fretsonfire randomly resizing window during game, any suggestions? [11:52] might be compiz releated [11:52] what's a fretsonfire? [11:53] guitar hero clone [11:53] nsadmin, I know thanks ... but those are job managers that may handle clusters or workstation ... my question was if anybody knew to what point the config process of those packages goes ... [11:53] nsadmin: its awesome [11:53] koshari: i'd side with moymoy. are you running compiz? [11:53] what controller does it use? [11:53] can I use my fretless bass? [11:54] ActionParsnip *tick* [11:54] nsadmin: keyboard by default but proper guitar hero controllers can be used with a little love [11:54] nsadmin, fretsonfire is a clone game of guitar hero [11:54] koshari: then turn off compiz and try it again [11:54] nsadmin it uses f1-f5 but you can map to whatever you want, people are making guitars out of kids toy ones for it [11:54] nsadmin: default keys are F1 to F5 for frets and enter to 'strum' [11:55] what songs do they have for it [11:55] actionparsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/219673 [11:55] Hey all, I'm looking for a solution to make the command "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" shorter [11:55] koshari: have you tried the mfh mod. it helped me lots [11:55] Hi, Anyoe knows how can i resize a squashfs file? [11:55] nsadmin: how to play fof on a laptop where i cant invert the keyboard [11:55] Nhawdge, make an alias of it [11:55] nhawdge, make a bash file and create a shortcut? [11:55] ActionParsnip whats it do? [11:56] dabukalam: ok cool, not seeing a great lot there. Can you provide the output of: sudo fdisk -l [11:56] pratik_narain: I never played it before [11:56] i have a compro videomate c200 and i can see it when i lsusb but how do i know what /dev is it? [11:56] avelldiroll: dabukalam I am specifically looking for something I saw a while ago, looked like sudo apt-get {update|upgrade} but I don't know where to look for that [11:56] koshari: try using different display settings, and/or a higher/lower framerate [11:56] actionparsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/219675 [11:56] koshari: i use the mfh version which doesnt actually need frets on fire installed [11:57] dabukalam: nice one :). Ok so which partition do you want access to? [11:58] koshari: i also recommend you switch off compiz and try the game again [11:58] koshari: compiz is a massive PITA and breaks tonnes of stuff [11:58] actionparsnip: from windows 7 i need access to both the ubuntu and storage partitions, which happen to both be ext3. i meant to make the storage one FAT32, but i must have forgotten, it's too late now, i already have too much valuable stuff on there to change [11:58] dabukalam: you can get read and write access to ntfs using ntfs-3g [11:59] Nhawdge: http://paste.ubuntu.com/219676/ call it upgrade.sh, put it in yout /home/$USER, chmod +x it and use it on the terminal by tiping ./upgrade.sh [11:59] dabukalam: fat32 isnt robust enough, nor does it support > 4Gb file size so no DVD iso === Odin is now known as Guest21961 [11:59] ActionParsnip prolly true but 99% of the time i have cube rotate mapped to the thumbstick on my logitech rev and scale mapped to the top button [11:59] koshari: that'll do it [11:59] actionparsnip, i'm aware of that. i want access to ext3 FROM windows not the other way around [11:59] ActionParsnip so the fofix is a rewrite? [11:59] dabukalam: you can use http://www.fs-driver.org [11:59] sash_: Thanks for that, but it's not actually what I am looking for, that is more of the easiest example I have for it [12:00] koshari: its a mod that folks do, theres loads [12:00] Hi, Anyoe knows how can i resize a squashfs file? [12:00] actionparsnip, does it work in windows 7? i already have ext2fsd installed and it doesn't work [12:00] dabukalam: then you can read the ext3. I suggest you format the common storage area to ntfs (this will destroy the data) then mount it with ntfs-3g [12:00] dabukalam: not sure, i dont use windows [12:01] dabukalam: but if you panda to windows's short sightedness and use ntfs, you can mount it with ntfs-3g and linux can read / write to it happily [12:02] dabukalam: i know that there is an ext-driver for windows, i tried to use it under xp, but it does not work correctly, so i have been afraid to kill my linux-data [12:02] actionparsnip, too much typing, not enough reading... if you'd read what i originally wrote you would have saved me some time and a reboot. thanks for your help anyway.

[12:14] what was the name of that forum that one of the mods started a few years back? i remember he sent PMs to virtually everyone on UF about it and some people got mad.... [12:14] I have a server with CD drive connected over IDE. [12:14] And a desktop, which has DVD drive connected only over SATA. [12:14] !ot > aheckler [12:14] aheckler, please see my private message [12:14] l [12:14] For now, I don't have any empty CDs left. [12:15] The point is - I could burn DVD and install Ubuntu Server into the server's HDD connected to desktop's motherboard and CD-ROM. [12:15] Sorry, I mean DVD drive :) . [12:15] Only if this would work. Would it? :) [12:15] anyone know what differences there are between kernels 2.6.28-12 and 2.6.28-13? [12:15] My server and desktop have different chipsets, motherboards and etc. [12:16] Would it work, do you think? :) [12:16] dabukalam: 1 [12:16] And maybe there's a possibility to install Ubuntu over network? :) It could make things a lot easier. [12:16] I mean something like PXE. :) [12:16] that number is the number of times the maintainer uploaded the same version of a package [12:16] nsadmin: ;) apart from that [12:17] nsadmin: so there's no difference? [12:17] also the changelog would probably tell you in more detail [12:17] how does logrotate know when to run each day, what calls it? [12:17] nsadmin: why is it on the recommended updates then? [12:17] no, there is likely a difference [12:17] maybe someone fixed a bug or 2 [12:18] or added some functionality [12:18] or added more drivers [12:18] if you go to www.kernel.org you can read the changelog [12:18] well no, you'd have to look at the debian changelog because that number is only relevent to that or ubuntu [12:19] is there a way to back up my system and restore it on a new pc?

[12:22] koshari: there are mods that you can put in a folder in the FoF folder system and you can select it [12:23] ActionParsnip: but im assembling a pc with all new hardware .. how will the restore behave once it finds new hardware?

[12:34] license hope that stops the thefts. anyway i don't believe so. However open source is grwoing up faster ! it has become powerfull [12:34] and the output was: rotating pattern: /var/log/syslog after 1 days (7 rotations) empty log files are rotated, old logs are removed considering log /var/log/syslog log does not need rotating [12:34] AdvoWork: you have to reload the syslog-daemon, have a look at my link i gave you [12:35] free the open source stop copying guys! [12:35] thanks for the help here! [12:35] i love you all!

[12:57] apart from kvpnc, are there any suggested vpn gui's for use in KDE4 [12:57] anirban:use chmod [12:58] tim|ranger: you can use a for loop to loop that 1000 times, when you put the & at the end of the command it puts it to the background immediately so you shouldn't need to wait for it to start the next one [12:58] sonism: how? [12:58] anirban: you need to also give the group the proper permissions to that file. wiki chmod [12:58] Dulak: very good, what syntax is for "for" loop? [12:59] i've seen only for m in ....

I have upgraded kernel to 2.6.30 (Jaunty) and still no luck i have done alot of googling and have tried the few fixes of disabling ipv6 which i believe to be the offender [13:25] how are you all [13:26] hi everyone. am trying to install ubuntu-server on my machine which has a raid, but ubuntu installer just detects the disks as individual disks and not as a raid . how do i fix this? [13:26] just: HW or SW raid [13:26] i have two harddisks set up in raid-1 [13:26] hardware raid [13:26] bios managed or utility managed [13:26] bios managed [13:26] thefr34k what kind of connection? [13:26] i think, it asks me to press ctrl+e to enter the raid config setup [13:26] Amirh:ok, but before we proceed with that try this: sudo modprobe snd_hda_intel model=3stack position_fix=2 [13:26] its a T1 on a work [13:27] well ok, but how does your machine connect to the net?

According to a ps aux, it's using about 65% of one of my cores all the time, even when totally idle. Is this a common issue? [13:28] its ethernet [13:28] thefr34k : is there some option i have to use to get ubuntu to detect raid or something? [13:28] <_UsUrPeR_> oh, pertaining to above, that's an x64 kernel [13:28] _UsUrPeR_: is it updating? [13:28] i can ping the gateway but all dns lookup fails, tried using OpenDNS servers and tried using the backbone DNS server 4.2.2.3 [13:28] thefr34k: ahh... do you get a paragraph or error message when you ifconfig eth0 [13:29] no it appears to be configured [13:29] _UsUrPeR_: tyoe in top at a terminal [13:29] <_UsUrPeR_> fabzor3: yeah. aptitude is saying it's up-to-date [13:29] and pinging google by ip fials === cn is now known as Guest51544 [13:29] ok, is this a laptop?

[14:01] If the very next screen does not let you manually select partions back out [14:01] orly_owl: why not make a new folder in say /usr/pub/ [14:01] Hello! I have some binary data that is encrypted with AES_128_CBC. I know the iv and the key (not the password), and would like to decrypt it. How can I do that? [14:01] but i just did this yesterday that way [14:01] and make /usr/pub the shared one [14:01] go to terminal and gksu nautilus [14:02] and if you still cannot do it, have you allocated all HD space to the windows partition? [14:02] morning [14:02] if so you will need to use a utility to shrink that one first [14:02] and with the newly opened window you can hack your folders to pieces [14:02] looking to add /usr/share/tovid to my users PATH and I added it to ~/.bashrc, logged out and back in and it didn't take effect. where do I add executable paths for my user? [14:02] fabzor3: will that let all users access /usr/pub? [14:02] axos88 you can't do it without the passphrase [14:03] i also need to make another shared dir that only 2 users can access. [14:03] no it will just give you the necerry permissions to make the folder [14:03] mazda01: .bashrc is for non-login sessions. you're looking for .profile or /etc/profile [14:03] once you make it as root then you need to right click on it and edit its permissions [14:03] ef_codd, i have the key and the iv. the password is used to generate the key. [14:03] axos88 again, you can't [14:03] no one awake ? [14:03] go properties>permissions [14:04] and it should say owner and group [14:04] owner can stay as root but you need to change the group to whatever group both the users are [14:04] orly_owl: you see what i mean?

Is there a $SSH_AUTH_SOCK? [15:02] amikrop, from the command line run: eval `ssh-agent` [15:02] how can I find out what version of a library I have installed. For instance I am trying to compile a open source project that depends on libavformat. In the compile it is bombing on on a check that says if LIBAVFORMAT_BUILD > 4628. How can I check it's build number? [15:02] Hi [15:03] amikrop, it should return something like "Agent pid: 8163" [15:03] erisol: GNOME by default uses its own gnome-keyring-daemon for that, which can automatically unlock keys with the passphrase stored on keyring. [15:03] Why Can I not setup my apache to use "worker" mpm AND php5 in mdule ? [15:03] grawity: $ eval `ssh-agent` [15:03] Agent pid 8871 [15:03] grawity, oh [15:03] erisol: So just running ssh-agent is not the best solution. [15:03] nannes: well you have the code then, if the developer is unresponsive and you want to play with the source code, go for it [15:03] grawity: $ echo $SSH_AUTH_SOCK [15:03] /tmp/ssh-nwVxae8870/agent.8870 [15:03] erisol: $ eval `ssh-agent` [15:03] Agent pid 8871 [15:03] amikrop: Um, can you kill that, and open a new shell? [15:04] grawity: I killed ssh-agent [15:04] grawity, just opening a new shell should suffice [15:04] amikrop: And then echo $SSH_AUTH_SOCK. (There should be already an agent running.) [15:04] erisol: There's still an useless process, no? [15:04] jrib: I know, but I don't know where do I start from! I'm not a programmer (i'm learning) [15:04] amikrop: can you open a new terminal now? [15:04] grawity, I thought that as soon as you closed the old shell it would kill all child processes [15:05] grawity: $ echo $SSH_AUTH_SOCK [15:05] /tmp/ssh-buBSka2836/agent.2836 [15:05] erisol: Good point :/ [15:05] shorterror: Here is one, http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/dh-make not the one I was searching for, but it helps. [15:05] nannes: try the channel for the language it is written in, they will give you tutorial so you can learn the language [15:05] amikrop: Um... did you run ssh-agent again? [15:05] vigo, thank you [15:05] grawity: no [15:05] xamox, you can run sudo aptitude show libavformat and that should show you which version of that library you're running [15:05] amikrop: And is it Ubuntu (GNOME) or Kubuntu (KDE), or Xubuntu (Xfce)? [15:05] anyone use tovid, specifically makedvd? I am trying to burn a dvd structure folder that contains a AUDIO_TS and a VIDEO_TS folder and I have previously used makedvd -burn /folder/. well the folder this time happens to be on a smb share that I mounted locally. I am getting an error specifically :- [ WRITE@LBA=1f90h failed with SK=3h/WRITE ERROR - RECOVERY FAILED]: Input/Output error. [15:05] jrib: uff... ok thanks [15:05] grawity: ubuntu [15:06] gnome [15:06] amikrop: Strange, it is supposed to be gnome-keyring-daemon instead of ssh-agent. Well, anyway, do this: ssh-add [15:06] grawity: $ ssh-add [15:06] Could not open a connection to your authentication agent. [15:06] mazda01: how is the speed of ur samba mnt? [15:07] mazda01, yeah, it says version 3.0, but how do I know what build number it is? === fr34k is now known as thefr34k [15:07] amikrop: You probably killed one too many :/ Ah well, eval `ssh-agent` [15:07] yay shiny linux [15:07] lol [15:07] thanks for the help [15:08] shorterror: and here: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man7/debhelper.7.html [15:08] xamox, i am sorry. you got all the info I can provide. i know there is a way to show you more info for a package but I don't remember what it is off the top of my head. [15:09] abb: you still around? [15:09] jduser, how would I check that? I am running over ethernet 100base-T with 2 switches in the network [15:09] amikrop, as soon as it says "Agent pid whatever" run ssh-add [15:09] mazda01, that's alright, thanks anyway though [15:09] mazda01: try copy a large file from the mnt e.g with mc [15:09] mazda01: mc shows speed [15:09] jduser, could I transfer a file and watch iftop to get an idea or is there an easier way to see the speed? [15:10] shorterror: Just change the Hardy to the version you are using, but they are mostly all the same, yes Ubuntu is based on Debian. [15:10] mazda01: do u know mc? [15:10] jdobrien, mc is midnight commander? [15:10] jduser, i don't have it installed. is it in the repos? [15:10] mazda01: yes [15:10] erisol: done, it asks for my passphrase [15:10] mazda01: pack name is mc [15:10] erisol: $ ssh-add [15:10] Enter passphrase for /home/indy/.ssh/id_rsa: [15:10] Identity added: /home/indy/.ssh/id_rsa (/home/indy/.ssh/id_rsa) [15:11] amikrop: Okay, and does ssh/svn/whatever work now? [15:11] erisol: Usually, instead of just starting gnome-session, gdm runs ssh-agent which then starts GNOME. This way, a SSH agent is always running after you login to GNOME. [15:12] Hey, how do I save a modification in my DNS. I ran "sudo nano /etc/resolv.conf" in order to change my DNS, but now I can't figure out how to save the changes. [15:12] folks... anyone knows where i can donwload "i've seen better days" from sublime? [15:12] pelle_: On nano, Ctrl+X saves and exits. [15:13] jduser, ok. MAN, i hate that. I run x11vnc on the computer I am doing the makedvd command on and sometimes when I am in Terminal Server Client (jaunty) connected using VNC protocol, i'll be entering a command in the terminal and it's like a key gets stuck and it'll just keep entering letters. this last time it was an 'e'. no matter what I can't stop the machine from entering an 'e'. it'll do it in a new terminal if I open one. the only wa [15:13] y to get it to stop is to restart the machine. any ideas on that issue while that box restarts?

[15:15] mazda01: have you tried another VNC client (I use VNC daily) [15:15] mazda01: you might consider looking at X forwarding via ssh...much better than vnc [15:15] mazda01: ok runc mc from cli [15:16] is the keyserver down again? >:( [15:16] mazda01: try nx-server and client [15:16] mazda01: thats what i use for remote connect to my linux boxes all over the world [15:17] thefr34k, you mean on the server side or the client side? [15:17] erisol: svn+ssh works now, but will it work on the next boot?

[15:18] mazda01: mm i simply followed the tutorial on the nx hp [15:18] mazda01: mc [15:18] or sudo mc [15:18] Just mc [15:18] what u want [15:19] mazda01: depends on what u wanna do [15:19] whoops, sudo mc [15:19] jduser1, wow. now what? I will try to transfer a large avi file. [15:19] mazda01: yes [15:19] mazda01: from ur samba mnt [15:20] Fettel: works [15:21] grawity, erisol: Alright. How can I have it automatically unlocked after each boot, now? [15:21] Should I put an ssh-add in my .bashrc? [15:21] I guess not. [15:21] is there an alternate keyserver? [15:21] I guess it's something else. [15:22] i'm back [15:24] TD-Linux: The keyserver gets a lot of traffic, you may just want to try again, I had the same problem about a week or two ago. [15:24] yeah I might want to try again tomorrow [15:24] amikrop: Sorry, was away for a while. Could you log out from GNOME, then login again, and -- without running anything else -- check if there's a gnome-keyring-daemon running, and what does $SSH_AUTH_SOCK show? [15:24] will a PPA work without a key temporarily? [15:25] TD-Linux: i think there will be some warning from the apt tools.. but i think it will work [15:25] grawity: no problem :) [15:25] sure [15:25] w8 [15:26] mazda01: what speed is shown? === jduser1 is now known as jduser [15:27] I'm having trouble with xrandr ... when I plug in a TV into the VGA output, 'xrandr -q' says that the VGA output is disconnected, as if nothing was plugged in ... what's going on?

[15:54] irchweel? [15:54] lurah: you can't use a module compiled for one version with a different kernel [15:54] iwheelrc? [15:54] lurah: you'd have to backport the .30 driver into .28 [15:55] hbkel : is that posible to get the source code from the latest kernel and compile that for older kernel ? [15:55] imwheel! [15:55] lurah, yes but there's no guarantees that it'll work, there's set in stone kernel api [15:55] lurah: it may be possible but it's surely non-trivial (unless you're a kernel hacker) [15:56] there's no * [15:56] lurah: you could search the kernel mailing list for the patch that has the driver and try to apply it [15:57] Boohbah : is it alway a clear kernel patch for that case ? [15:58] jduser, i didn't realize nautilus is showing me the speed also. it's showing 6.1 MB/sec as I am transferring the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders and storing them locally. [15:58] lurah: it depends, you'll have to try. if it's only bugfixes it may work [15:58] mazda01: thats why i said "e.g. mc" ;) [15:58] lurah: [PATCH netdev-2.6] jme: JMicron Gigabit Ethernet Driver [15:58] does anyone know how to fix sound for movie player? i get sound in vlc but not movie player? i am using jaunty with pulseaudio default. [15:59] lurah: why not keep .30? [15:59] mazda01: i am one of those mc freaks, u must know [15:59] jduser, it's no big deal. mc is like vim for me, it can do so much but I don't feel like taking the time to learn it. [15:59] Boohbah/hbekel : ok thanks for the info [15:59] jduser, everybody has their preferences. === jared is now known as Guest91857 [16:00] hbkel : when compiling the .30 I found one error but the kernel stil working so far [16:00] lurah: also seconding hbekel why not keep the new kernel [16:00] hi guys [16:00] does anyone know how to fix sound for movie player? i get sound in vlc but not movie player? i am using jaunty with pulseaudio default. [16:01] hello is here anyone who could help me [16:01] eyotechnologi: Depends on your problem. [16:01] eyotechnologi, just ask your question. [16:01] eyotechnologi, just ask the question, don't ask [16:01] my problem is that im new to irc and new to linux and new to programing in c and visual basic.net [16:02] :D [16:02] mazda01, type alsamixer -c 0, and check if all channels are unmuted [16:02] eyotechnologi, and what do you need help with? [16:02] how do people remeber to code things? [16:02] hbekel: it gives me "no such file or directory" [16:03] eyotechnologi, more precisely? I don't understand question [16:03] Dekko: uh yes, you don't have that file i was told (it's enabled in my custom kernel, sorry) [16:03] eyotechnologi: The same way other people remember how to make a pizza, or to build a house, or... [16:03] is there a way to run two WMs simultaneously in GNOME? i.e. on one monitor I'd love to have wmii and on another the regular metacity desktop [16:03] is it safe if I change the kernel from 2.6.28 to 2.6.30 without doing anything else ? [16:04] VIVA UBUNTU!!!! :) [16:04] Socah, nothing is muted. i said the same exact file has sound in vlc. stupid pulseaudio! [16:05] mazda01, solution: remove pulseaudio ;p [16:05] cipher: First off. Gnome contains a window manager. It's called metacity. I don't think gnome supports two window manager at once but that is an interesting idea. [16:05] lurah: if everything works, why not? [16:05] hbekel: custom kernels and the like ..... I have tried compiling the 2.6.30-1 kernel following instructions but never installed it after.... that took HOURS on this old machine :) [16:05] mazda01, it's first thing that I do when installing Ubuntu [16:05] Socah: don't remind me of when I got told that too and I actually REMOVED pulseaudio [16:05] thank god I could actually re-install it later on [16:05] edbian: yeah. I know the default is metacity. I am able to tell gnome to use wmii as its window manager but not to have both metacity and wmii at the same time. [16:05] JEEBsv, what happend? [16:05] cipher, yes, you need to configure Xorg.conf to run two X servers one on each different monitor. But it's got nothing to do with Gnome. [16:05] how can i talk to just anyone not to all [16:05] Hi, anyone in here able to help with KVM migration with Ubuntu 9.04 and virsh? [16:05] eyotechnologi, you talk to me on priv actually [16:06] Dekko: if you want features that ubuntu decided not to comile in you'll have to roll your own kernel [16:06] durt: in that case I will be running one plain vanilla wmii X session alongside one plain vanilla GNOME session running metacity... and I might do this how in the X config? [16:06] but in fact, I didn't respond [16:06] Socah, i just don't know how to solve it. also, the sound is very low. I have to have it cranked. i have a 80:01.0 Audio device: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT1708/A [Azalia HDAC] (VIA High Definition Audio Controller) (rev 10) [16:06] Socah: if you delete pulseaudio you won't get into X :V Because you'll have to reroute all kinds of stuff, and this isn't done automagically for a noob [16:06] cipher: I don't think so. [16:06] durt: might you provide a reference on how to configure the X config in such way? [16:06] hbekel: But how to know what to include etc, lets say I want "generic kernel" with the Tux logo enabled... :D [16:07] cipher: what video card are you using? [16:07] JEEBsv, in fact, I just make sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio and... still all works without any other things to configure [16:07] Dekko: by getting familiar with the kernel config options [16:07] Socah, i'd like to resolve it with pulseaudio as it seems like that's the way ubuntu is evolving. without pulseaudio, i can't have more than one audio program running or at least I'd have to install jack as I am told. then i'll just have to configure that. i might as well stick with pulseaudio and try to find someone that can help. [16:07] dekko: yah it took's me about more than 3 hours to compile the new kernel on my machine [16:07] Hi there all I dont seem to be able to get my filters working on already recived mail and also mail that is coming in I am running 2.26.1 on 9.04 any ideas? [16:07] Dr_Willis: I have an ATI radeon 1300 series [16:07] Socah: I did that on 8.04 and 8.10 and had problems with login afterwards [16:07] Dr_Willis: atleast I believe... that's what shows up on lspci [16:07] hbekel: can't you just compile a kernel with *everything* enabled? [16:07] 01:00.1 Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV516 [Radeon X1300 Pro] (Secondary) [16:07] Although I must say I only had problems with pluseaudio for a while, it works nicely for me nowadays [16:08] 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV516 [Radeon X1300/X1550 Series] [16:08] or better yet find a precompiled kernel with everything enabled. [16:08] eyotechnologi: you might want to check out the linux documentation project...tldp.org, they have beginners books there [16:08] mazda01, mhm... I had same problem when my modules for soundcard in modprobe.d were not loaded [16:08] i need help [16:08] Dekko: use 'make oldconfig' to start with the config of the currently running kernel [16:08] mazda01, but after this... all work flawlessly [16:08] i cant mount my HDD [16:08] hbekel: will that start me compiling something? [16:08] in ubuntu [16:09] JEEBsv, no idea, I just remove this and there are no other side-effects for me [16:09] sid1monu, what's the problem? any informations? [16:09] seems I don't have the kernel sourcecode anywhere..... [16:09] Socah, ok, can you help me troubleshoot this then? here's lsmod | grep snd [16:09] Dekko: I'm not going to spoon-feed you kernel compilation... [16:09] Socah, oops, accidentally hit enter. here it is: http://pastebin.com/f67c65a64 [16:09] it says failed to read the last sector [16:09] hbkel: do Ubuntu usually provide a new precompile kernel should there any new kernel release ? [16:09] also, mazda01 - what version of mplayer you have? [16:09] durt, Dr_Willis: any further information you can give? [16:09] wen i try to mount it through gui or command line [16:10] sid1monu, what filesystem is on disk? [16:10] Dekko: kernel compilation is a long and complicated process :) [16:10] ntfs [16:10] Dekko: google it [16:10] edbian: It is true it takes a long time yes. :) [16:10] sid1monu, fsck.ntfs, check if it got errors [16:10] #evolution [16:10] opps [16:10] silly Clouse [16:11] Gah its rather painful to have to recompile kernel to get the little Tux to show up......... [16:11] cipher: nvidia and their twniview makes such a task tivial :) well sort of trivial.. but I for one dont see the need of running 2 seperate X servers. I just use nvidias twinview feature. (i gave up on ati ages ago) [16:11] Dr_Willis: ok that's not really helpful. but thank you. [16:12] Dr_Willis: I run 2x X servers on my machine - Twinview stretches the desktop and thats .... not good I think :) [16:12] Dr_Willis: I see a lot of people come here that need their resolution changed to something that isn't available in the gnome GUI but should be possible with their hardware. What is the best way to go about fixing this problem? [16:12] Dekko: twinview does not stretch the desktop here in a bad way [16:12] JEEBsv, i am running whatever is in jaunty repos. it's 2:1.0~rc2-0ubuntu19+medibuntu1 but i am talking about totem. that is: 2.26.1-0ubuntu5 [16:12] could one of you perhaps (Dekko maybe) post up your x server configuration and maybe I can extrapolate a similar solution for my particular setup/hardware [16:13] edbian: ditch the gui and educate users instead? [16:13] cipher, here's a start, http://www.vsthost.com/pages/DualHead.php [16:13] mazda01: that is old as hell D: If it uses mplayer as base get something newer than something from 2007 (rc2) [16:13] cipher: I am not at my primary setup right now so would prove difficult .... but if you're around later I will look to see if I can help you. [16:13] So anyone using Evolution 2.26.1? [16:13] Too bad for mplayer and friends the only way pretty much is to build :/ [16:13] mazda01, is your computer a laptop? [16:13] Dekko: well if you don't mind, can I PM you with my email to send it later? [16:13] mine kubuntu runs some kind strange: when it boots it plays the default sound of kde, then - no other sound could be played (not from system events, not from amarok, not from dragonplayer) :( [16:13] JEEBsv, huh???? I am running jaunty. how does that happen then? Socah, no I am running a desktop. [16:13] also, as a recommendation for a frontend on mplayer - smplayer [16:14] Dekko: i use twinview here all the time - only issues i have with it are a few badly programmed apps fullscreening in a dumb way. :) [16:14] while the gnome sound system works fine [16:14] hi, you know how do work microsoft ofice 2007 in ubuntu 8.10 ?? [16:14] mazda01: Almost no distro uses new builds of mplayer because the project does no 'official' releases >_> [16:14] hbekel: Supposed xrandr doesn't offer high enough resolutions as well? How do you tell the system what resolution should be available? [16:14] i take a look at links and download pach kernel 2.6 and oen terminal and put a codes their but no wok says comand not found!!! wy? [16:14] !appdb | alff21 [16:14] alff21: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [16:14] mazda01, please give me output of aplay -l [16:15] how do i fsck.ntfs [16:15] mazda01: you can check the revision of mplayer by running it once, I hope it's not from 2007 >_> [16:15] sid1monu, google [16:15] Dr_Willis: Okay I am using two separate X servers and then directing the applications I need on the secondary monitor with env DISPLAY=0.1 or something like that :) [16:15] sid1monu: im not syre you want linux go be fscking a ntfs disk.. best to let windows do that. [16:15] Dekko: i just drag them over. :) been doing it this way for years. [16:15] sid1monu: To check your harddrive the command is e2fsck /dev/ Do you know the device name you're trying to scan? [16:15] i chkdsk from windows [16:15] it says no problems [16:16] Dekko: i need to track down a nvidia card that lets me do 3 monitors next - and a bigger desk [16:16] ok, thanks [16:16] sid1monu: so whats the actual problem then? [16:16] Dr_Willis mentioning NTFS.... is there any way to tell 3G-NTFS to NOT enable writing to NTFS file systems at all? [16:16] i dont know,i am unable to mount it [16:16] it shows an error [16:16] Dekko: check out the 'ntfs-config' tool [16:16] sid1monu: You need the ntfsprogs package, but it can't fix filesystem errors. If it finds errors, it will mark it as such, so that windows will check it during boot [16:16] sid1monu: and the error is? [16:17] gotta love playing 20 questions to get to the real problem... [16:17] always the same ;) [16:17] it says like the partition table might be currupted [16:17] Socah, http://pastebin.com/f5707f0a1 [16:17] sid1monu: and what/how are you mounting this ntfs fileysstem? [16:17] or raid wasnt setup correctly [16:17] through gui [16:17] Dekko: The ro option [16:18] Hi, I installed texlive, emacs and auctex but just don't get auctex visible in emacs, although searching and trying for hours... anybody happy to help? [16:18] sid1monu: you may want to pastebin the output of 'sudo fdisk -l' for the channel to look at.. and are you using any thing odd on the sytem? raid? anything else? [16:18] Dr_Willis: THANK you! Stupid question maybe, but HOW can one find out about these little super useful programs to be installed? I poke around and find more and more and more useful stuff in Linux every minute, but to keep track of all the tweaks, fixes, little programs etc etc etc..... its almost bewildering! :) [16:18] mazda01, alsa version is? [16:18] no nothing odd [16:18] lemme paste bin [16:19] Dekko: ntfs-config has been around for several releases.. also i recall seeing it when ya search for ntfs in the package manager. :) [16:19] Dekko: problem with ubuntu is they work hard to keep it under 700mb for a cd iso install.. so they cant include all these cool tools.. but thats life. :) [16:19] mazda01, also paste mi on priv this cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep codec -i (don't need to use pastebin, just copy) [16:19] http://pastebin.com/m51e72050 [16:19] Dekko: it also tweaks the vfat mounting options even tho its called ntfs-config [16:20] Dr_Willis believe it or not I JUST recently started USING Linux.... that is when 9.04 was released. Before that I toyed around with hackintosh OSX .... which made the transition to linux ....easier. [16:20] Is xrandr the correct tool to use to set the resolution by hand? [16:20] JEEBsv, here's output from running it once. not sure where it says the year? http://pastebin.com/f3d17436c [16:20] sid1monu: so can you mount just one of the ntfs fileysstems? what one? [16:20] The Apache module mod_actions is either not installed or not enabled. How to install and enable it ? [16:20] Dekko: hacnintosh? blasphmy! at least you are now on the true path to GPL nirvana [16:20] unop: Before I have only the IP, mask, route and nameservers from DHCP. After I have the same plus the additional IP/mask [16:21] the sdb1 [16:21] help, can someone lead me to understand how I can get Ubntu 9.04 to favor the wireless interface over the wired when the wired is connected? [16:21] mazda01: THAT seriously is a 2007 build of mplayer 'MPlayer 1.0rc2-4.3.3 (C) 2000-2007 MPlayer Team' [16:21] anirban: sudo a2enmod actions [16:21] Socah, alsa-base version is: 1.0.18.dfsg-1ubuntu8 [16:21] sid1monu: try mounting it by hand with the 'ntfs-3g' command and see if you get any more detailed error messages. [16:21] Dr_Willis: But OS X is SO pretty ;-) heh heh no but seriously I didn't enjoy Linux enough to learn it prior to 9.04 - I found it to be quite buggy and half-working for some things I needed to do, but now it's really cool ..... [16:21] grrr why wont it let me access thius flash drivew. it shows up in lsusb it seems to show up in places -> computer but i cant get into it [16:22] sid1monu: ie: 'sudo ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /media/MAKE_A_DIRECTORYFIRST' [16:22] mazda01: do you do video encoding or do you just play videos? [16:22] Socah, here's the output from the above command: Codec: Realtek ALC888 [16:22] Dr_Willis, no such directory ;P [16:22] Dekko: your description - describes windows very well also.. [16:22] Dekko: and also describes my experience with OS-X ;) [16:22] Dekko: and -- computers in general.. :P [16:23] 'buggy , half working, really cool' => computers. [16:23] JEEBsv, well what the heck?? Can I compile mplayer from source and not screw all my codec's up and what not? how would I do that. I don't understand all the different stuff, like ffmpeg and whatnot. [16:23] Is it common for things like embedded youtube videos and Cooliris to flash an image of the previous page you had on screen? And is there a fix. [16:23] Dekko: buggy and half-working may be an impression created by your inability to use it (no offense) :) [16:23] JEEBsv, is there a PPA with a more recent copy of mplayer? if mplayer works why am I messing with that again? [16:23] Joe062: never seen that issue. or heard of anyone else mention it. [16:24] Hmm. Maybe its my graphics card? [16:24] i ran that [16:24] but it has started a new line with '>' [16:24] The Suexec command on your system is configured to only run scripts under /var/www, but the Virtualmin base directory is /home. CGI and PHP scripts run as domain owners will not be executed. How to fix it up ? [16:24] mazda01: it's a 2007 build of mplayer and it can have various problems ^^; And no, usually you don't find newer versions of mplayer in repos because no-one wants to update them because everyone's gotten used to the fact that it's build from sources [16:24] hbekel: That could be VERY true in fact. I think mostly the reason why I stayed away till now WAS that if problem arose, I had no idea where to look or what to do -- being quite adept at MS-DOS/Windows .... not to say very experienced with that, I was a true NOOB with Linux in all ways. [16:25] and really, building mplayer from the source is much easier than ffmpeg - mazda01. Seriously, and it won't break anything IMHO [16:25] o [16:25] k [16:25] lemme paste bin this error [16:26] mazda01, try to add to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf this line -> options snd-hda-intel model=auto, then save file, then make sudo alsa force-reload (all only if you want to remove pulseaudio, in fact this COULD allow to get few apps to play at once) [16:26] Dr_Willis: Well anyway I love Linux now. Its like - when I was younger (I'm 30 now) I used to love tinkering around with my Commodore Amiga and then came the PC and on it I used MS-DOS and learned that, then Windows .... pleeeeh.... my friends started toying around with Linux in 1994 or thereabout but at that time I felt OMG its SO complicated. Now its both as EASY and as complicated as you yourself makes it or wants it to be. Which is [16:26] nice. [16:26] http://pastebin.com/m31241c30 [16:26] Dekko: you will get a feeling for where to look if you keep digging. *nix may seem confusing at first, but one day it'll all make sense. Linux knowledge is not a bunch of recipes but a certain type mindset [16:26] JEEBsv, i do tons of video encoding! I use devede, tovid, I use mythtv vlc, mplayer, totem so I don't want to screw something up if mplayer works it works. [16:26] HELP, does anyone know how to setup the wireless as primary interface instead o wired? [16:26] wat should i do know [16:27] Good day. I just booted a Gateway machine to an Ubuntu 9.04 Live CD, a CD that I know was downloaded and burned correctly. Please see this pastebin: http://pastebin.com/m3689b236 [16:27] ? [16:27] Basically, I cannot see the main desktop and I cannot start Nautilus. [16:27] hbekel: The impression I have now is - if I just spend time with it I can make it do whatever I want. If I take the time to look, and - find out .... and also there's excellent help to be found here :) [16:27] mazda01: umm... so do I and it should screw nothing if you just build mplayer from sources :P [16:28] it's just that those audio problems might be because of the fact that mplayer is DAMN OLD, but dunno [16:28] Can anyone decipher the error? http://pastebin.com/m3689b236 [16:28] hbekel in fact if I could make it run GAMES well I could consider dropping windows entirely. [16:28] Dr_Willis [16:28] ? [16:29] Socah, wait. if I add that option to that file I will not have pulseaudio anymore? [16:29] Do I dare try compile the latest kernel (latest stable) and running it under Ubuntu?? :) [16:29] Good day. I just booted a Gateway machine to an Ubuntu 9.04 Live CD, a CD that I know was downloaded and burned correctly. Please see this pastebin: http://pastebin.com/m3689b236 [16:29] Basically, I cannot see the main desktop and I cannot start Nautilus. [16:29] Can anyone decipher the error? [16:29] mazda01, if you remove pulseaudio first, it could make your alsa work good [16:29] JEEBsv, but I am asking why should I rebuild mplayer if it's working? [16:29] mazda01, but first, updgradeing your alsa is a good start [16:29] What is pulseaudio? [16:29] foodie time here. [16:29] mazda01: if it's as old as that, yes [16:29] Dekko: if you fail, you won't have to tell anybody :) but chances are you'll learn something either way [16:29] !pulseaudio [16:29] vise, sound server in ubuntu [16:29] PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions [16:29] Socah, i want to try to get pulseaudio working. [16:30] will check if you write anything while I am gone :) [16:30] Dekko: got to go, have fun! [16:30] hi folks. Is anyone here using ZFS-FUSE? Would the maintainer of that package be around? [16:30] Socah, how do I upgrade alsa. you mean compile from source? [16:30] thanks hbekel!! [16:30] mazda01, that's why I told you, "if you want", to inform you that's an alternate solution [16:30] mazda01, there are repositories with alsa that you can add [16:30] check in google, ubuntu + repository + ppa + alsa 1.0.20 [16:30] Are there any bash command or software that will put multiple rss feeds into a custom form. I want all my feeds to have the same formatting, the same tags etc? [16:31] 20 secounds and it's accesible from ur synaptic [16:31] where do i get .3, the point release released today? [16:31] Good day. I just booted a Gateway machine to an Ubuntu 9.04 Live CD, a CD that I know was downloaded and burned correctly. Please see this pastebin: http://pastebin.com/m3689b236 [16:31] Basically, I cannot see the main desktop and I cannot start Nautilus. === Socah is now known as Socah|Afk [16:31] Socah, so what is that option that I am adding doing? [16:31] what does "solaris mode" mean in the system monitor app? [16:31] Socah, do you use pulseaudio? [16:32] Strife89, informing alsa about your card model, and specific config that it should make to solve your sound problems when using alsa [16:32] that was to mazda01 [16:32] Hi guys [16:32] mazda01, I don't use pulse [16:32] removed it [16:32] where do i get .3, the point release released today? [16:32] how do I map a Network samba drive on ubuntu? I want to save mail from Thunderbird to the mapped drive. [16:32] Socah|Afk: Sorry, but what? [16:32] Strife89, that was not to you, mistake :) [16:33] mazda01: to upgrade everything possible you'll have to do 'sudo apt-get build-dep mplayer x264', 'sudo aptitude install subversion git', then make a folder somewhere where you want your source code to be kept, and do 'git clone git://git.videolan.org/x264.git', go to the x264 folder, do ./configure and make - then test your build with ./x264 --version and if it's ok do 'sudo make install'. Then svn checkout svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/mplayer/trunk mplayer [16:33] Socah|Afk: Ah, alrighty then. :) [16:33] bluebull: system -> connect to server [16:33] Strife89, can you see gnome panel? [16:33] and configure, build and check mplayer the same way (to mazda01 [16:33] moltenbobcat: ok, i did that, but cant see the drive when clicking "save as" in thunderbird. [16:33] Socah|Afk: Yes.

[17:25] erUSUL: Really? then I must be doing something dumb. [17:25] luca: I've been hitting the laptop's shortcut key for that (Fn + something) [17:25] erUSUL: Are you on 9.04?

[17:26] stdruseren: in the repos [17:26] luca: please don't /msg me unless you have a reason for it [17:26] Clouse: yep; several versions of evolution carrying the same config around... not remember the last time a i made a filter [17:27] i ll look it up thanks [17:27] stdruseren: might also look at etherape [17:27] which one do you think can tell me better to a specific ip address [17:28] i am trying to find out what one specific user is doing, to be precise when he is streamming video/audio [17:28] hi [17:28] stdruseren: I use wireshark, and yes wireshark would do that [17:28] stdruseren: etherape will show the traffic, but wireshark will give you the details. YOu can use a filter in wireshark to show just one ip === keanu is now known as [keanu] [17:28] erUSUL: Well I must have screwed something up cos they are not working for me. [17:28] stdruseren: but try etherape just for fun...it is impressive [17:28] stdruseren: is it legal? [17:29] hi guys [17:29] how are you?

[17:34] miaouse it is legal [17:34] its for my work and we have policies [17:34] pedro3005: the same way you installed it ? maybe it is packaged [17:34] is there anything like what automatix used to do? [17:34] i didn't install it, it came with ubuntu [17:34] trevor_: automatix is dead [17:34] I think it should be legal [17:34] trevor_, no need for that anymore [17:34] Has anyone made a fix yet for the bug where gnome volume control automatically mutes input from line in/mic when you close it? [17:34] and there is no package oxygen, i've tried it [17:35] trevor_: sudo aptitude install ubuntu-restricted-extras [17:35] miaouse why do you ask? [17:35] trevor_: and a visit to system>Admin>Hardware drivers [17:35] hi [17:35] hi :) [17:35] trevor_, just install ubuntu-restricted-extras, and a package from medibuntu.org [17:35] I have googled it and have found people having the same problem but haven seen any fixes as yet. === kb is now known as Guest55142 [17:36] anyone in here familiar with intel serverboards... there is a option HTN to set FSB to 1066MHz on 1333MHZ when 2 CPUs are installed... anyone know what that is about? [17:36] pedro3005, apt-cache search oxygen and install === ring1 is now known as ring0 [17:37] Faithful: Front Side Bus speed the more the better as usual [17:37] stdruseren: read my other messages (to th0r), i think either sniffing shouldn't be legal or all servers should be forced to provide ssl connectivity [17:38] Does somebody know how can be the colors enabled in TTYs? (Ubuntu 9.04) [17:38] bazhang, there is a whole bunch of stuff, none apparently related to my problem [17:38] sniffing on your own network is legal [17:38] Terminal commands do not recognise my directories (eg "cd ~/desktop" gives "No such file or directory") even though present in Nautilus. Also disk is reported as full (35GB) even though only total 8GB of files listed under "/". Anyone help? [17:38] Faithful: FSB comunicates the cpus with the nothbridge and that with ram. more speed is better [17:39] pedro3005, then apt-cache search theme ; how was it removed? [17:39] Faithful: but you have to respect the specs of your memory etc... ask more details in #hardware [17:39] i am having a problem with jaunty, that console-setup is on /etc/rc5.d/S* , but it never starts at boot. any help why ? [17:39] miaouse, sniffing on your own network is legal, otherwise firewall packet filtering wouldnt be included in firewalls dont you think? [17:39] please why flash player doesnt work in ubuntu? [17:39] bazhang, autoremove removed it, idk why, it was in use [17:39] miaouse, sniffing everywhere i agree shoud not be allowed [17:39] Yagami: 2 is the default runlevel [17:40] ReedMace: linux is case-sensitive. Try "Desktop". Pastebin the output of « df -h » [17:40] jrib: oh [17:40] how does one install python modules using easy_install ? it keeps complaining about site.py which was modified by debian as a hack and inherited to ubuntu [17:40] jrib: it also has S20console-setup [17:40] bazhang, searching for theme gives me an endless list [17:40] Hi Hi_guys [17:40] ReedMace, what is the output of the command; df -lh [17:40] Has anyone made a fix yet for the bug where gnome volume control automatically mutes input from line in/mic when you close it? [17:41] Yagami: what does? [17:41] isaac_: you could check the bug tracker at launchpad.net [17:41] hey guys, i run vista in virtualbox on jaunty, when i'm in fullscreen mode in the vm, every time there's a notification popup, the screen flashes,, is there anything i can do about this.. it's giving me a headache!! [17:41] jrib: console-setup is also on runlevel 2 but doesnt start at boot [17:41] !bug [17:41] 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 [17:42] I imagine the same flashing/flicker is happening under other guest os's with virtualbox and jaunty as host. [17:42] I just havn't tried this yet. [17:42] jrib: OK change to Desktop directory works. Thanks. But problem with disk space means java won't load, so I can't use pastebin [17:42] pedro3005, is this a stock Ubuntu install? [17:42] Yagami: how are you verifying that? [17:42] ReedMace: you can't open a browser you mean? [17:42] bazhang, its a normal install, i went to their website, downloaded it, burned and installed [17:43] jrib: after bootup , i dont have my loadkeys setup. if i run console-setup start manually, it sets my keyboard properly [17:43] pedro3005, what about reinstalling the metapackage kubuntu-desktop and see if that pulls it in [17:44] Yagami: are you sure something else isn't clobbering your loadkeys after console-setup sets it up? [17:44] bazhang, i use gnome, not kde [17:44] !info kde-icons-oxygen | bazhang pedro3005 [17:44] bazhang: kde-icons-oxygen (source: kdebase-runtime): Oxygen icon theme for KDE 4. In component main, is optional. Version 4:4.2.2-0ubuntu1 (jaunty), package size 15022 kB, installed size 27220 kB [17:44] ReedMace: would you like to clear up some space... sudo apt-get clean [17:44] jrib: can open browser, but series of 8 or so dialogs open reporting java unable to load due to no disk space. Also, can't add/remove progs, or run dpkg to resolve dependency issues, or even empty deleted files [17:44] jrib: i dont think so. console-setup also changes my terminal fonts. [17:45] jrib: but at boot up , neither console fonts nor console key layout is setted up properly [17:45] erUSUL, hard to imagine why those would be auto-removed [17:46] Yagami: edit init script to touch some random file so you can check if it is actually getting executed or not [17:46] pedro3005, kde4 icons/themes with gnome? [17:46] bazhang: ha claims to be using gnome so probably not using that package.... maybe a third party one [17:46] ReedMace: ok, just pm me the output then [17:46] erUSUL, sounds like it [17:46] jrib ok , be right back then [17:46] Grrr... the need to release an alternate installer for UNR... its taking me some serious time to setup LVM manually [17:47] lukeoconnell: LVM on a netbook??? Why? [17:47] Hi [17:47] For encryption :) [17:47] I'm trying to install ATi drivers for my X850XT, I'm following: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI?action=show&redirect=BinaryDriverHowto%2Fati#Troubleshooting. First step says "Enable the accelerated ATI graphics driver in the 'Hardware Drivers' ", problem is there isn't any drivers i can enable [17:47] evening all [17:47] * erUSUL just ... LVM why ? [17:48] Is there a good built-in partitioning application in Ubuntu 9.04? I am hearing abuot Partman on google, but I cannot find it in neither synaptic nor as a command. [17:48] eml: gparted [17:48] well encrypted lvm, its not the lvm process itself, its having the installer land in my setup partitions [17:48] eml: gparted is the weapon of choice [17:48] eml, gparted [17:48] !gparted > eml [17:48] eml, please see my private message [17:48] Thanks. [17:49] there is also a live cd eml [17:49] hi there, anyone else is having problems with pidgin and cpu usage? [17:49] ReedMace: something is indeed eating up all your space. Use Accessories -> Disk Usage Analyzer [17:49] thanks bazhang and erUSUL , managed to reinstall by getting kde-oxygen-icons .. i didn't tri it before because i thought since im not using kde it wouldnt work [17:49] i could setup basic partitions and encrypt those, but an lvm config lets me keep everything under one crypt [17:49] pedro3005: no problem [17:49] romulo: Can't say I have. What version of Ubuntu and Pidgin are you using? [17:50] how do i mount a floppy, the floppy drive icon says theres no disk in the drive (which is a lie..) and i cant figure out how to get it too open [17:50] romulo, could you clarify a bit? [17:50] gartral: maybe the floppy module is ot loaded ? [17:50] not* [17:50] lukeoconnell: any reason not to just encrypt home .. .and forget the rest? [17:50] jrib: have used Disk Usage Analyser - It lists 35GB as used, but under "/" only lists 8.2GB in total [17:50] erUSUL: how do i tell? [17:50] gartral: you have /dev/fd0 ? [17:50] howdy all [17:50] might be easier :) apart from swap data, which i guess can be pretty seneitive in a netbook environment [17:50] gartral: lsmod | frep floppy [17:51] gartral: lsmod | grep floppy [17:51] im using jaunty and pidgin 2.5.5, pidgin is a cpu hog. I have a Core Duo 2.16ghz and only typing msgs on pidgin takes my cpu usage to 50% [17:51] I am having trouble getting my nvidia on ubuntu 9.04 to do twinview with 4x3 monitors. [17:51] erUSUL: no, i have a /dev/fd/3 (yes, with slash) [17:51] lukeoconnell: I wouldn;t use swap in a netbook env ... tends to screw up SSD's [17:51] anyone get that working? [17:51] gartral: that's not it /dev/fd/* are file descriptors [17:51] in fact, Version: 1:2.5.5-1ubuntu8.3 [17:52] gartral: sudo modprobe floppy [17:52] bin10101: are you using nvidia-settings? [17:52] i did think that, but its not an ssd... is a 10" netbook... intereting though, some people would say that an SSD is a basic qualifier for a netbook! [17:52] yes [17:52] fccf yes [17:52] ReedMace: sudo du -sh /*/ [17:52] bin10101: as root? [17:52] romulo my pidgin is fine [17:52] erUSUL: lsmod |grep floppy returns with floppy 64324 0 [17:53] hi [17:53] ill check, hold on [17:53] romulo: I'm using 2.5.2 under Hardy with no troubles whatsoever, but your setup is indeed different. [17:53] bin10101, what protocols are you using? what version do you have? [17:53] gartral: so it is already loaded but no /dev/fd0 ... weird [17:53] hi guys, does anyone here use kile (the LaTeX application?) [17:53] i can not see youtube videos directly in firefox, i see a gray box instead and i have to click on it [17:54] chris___: install flashplugin-nonfree [17:54] how to run infinity pings and ONLY get a message if a ping failed [17:54] chris___, do you have any firefox extensions enabled? such as flashblock? [17:54] gartral: you are sure the floppy drive works ? [17:54] let me check [17:54] So Jaunty > Ibex? [17:54] chris___, you can see the videos after clicking okay? [17:55] iceroot, you mean, ping infinite hosts or only one ping and watch this one? [17:55] erUSUL: WELL... IT DOESNT MAKE STRANGE SOUNDS ON BOOT, OR WHEN I PUT A DISK IN... SO I WOULD ASSUME SO... AND I KNOW THE bios' FDC IS ON [17:55] gartral, no caps please [17:55] gartral, no caps [17:55] no bazhang, playback of the videos sucks [17:55] erUSUL: very sorry [17:55] gartral: no problem [17:55] romulo, version whatever is latest, XMPP, msn, yahoo, aim, IRC, facebook [17:55] that was an accident [17:55] romulo: ping host # only output something if ping failed [17:55] chris___, fullscreen? [17:55] does someone have a working tutorial to get the flash player working on jaunty? trying for hours now but i just cant get it running [17:56] bin10101, strange :( wich plugins are enabled? [17:56] and i have shockwave flash 9.0 r999 installes [17:56] * gartral decides whoever put TAB and the CAPS keys right by each other needs too eat a keyboard [17:56] installed [17:56] youtube works perfectly fine but has no sound :/ [17:56] Sheepherd_, installed flash non free plugin? [17:56] romulo: the opposite to ping host && echo "ping was ok" [17:56] gartral: can you try to do something... in one terminal do « tailf /var/log/messages » in another one or in other tab do « sudo modprobe -r floppy && sudo modprobe floppy » to reload the driver [17:56] mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm [17:56] romulo: yea [17:56] bazhang i have tried both full screen and half screen [17:57] gartral: see the messages logged in the first terminal [17:57] hieee friends [17:57] erUSUL: tail or tailf? [17:57] chris___, and they show? or just not clear; is compiz enabled or not [17:57] romulo: but as i said.. its just the audio which is not working with flash [17:57] romulo: conversation colors, history, joint part hiding, Libnotify popups, log reader, nautilus integration, offline message emulation, === ubuntu is now known as marshell [17:57] gartral: i swap my caps lock and left control keys XD [17:57] guys i am new to ubuntu [17:57] erUSUL: is tailf correct? [17:57] romulo: headset works semi-normally with other applications [17:57] gartral: "tailf" or "tail -f" both work [17:58] !welcome | marshell [17:58] marshell: Welcome to #ubuntu - the Ubuntu support channel.

Oddly enough, it does have 640x480, but I dont want it :) [17:58] chris___, what about when you let the stream load completely? [17:58] Sheepherd_, try to turn pulse off and re-open your navigator [17:58] bazhang i do, same thing [17:58] bin10101, strange :( [17:59] thks guys for such a warn welcome in ubuntu [17:59] Hello, anyone feeling like helping a ubuntu noob with some sound issues? :) [17:59] chris___, compiz is the 3D video effects such as wobbly windows etc [17:59] marshell, you will really like it. WELCOME!! [17:59] romulo: im using OSS for sound right now. is it a bad choice? [17:59] erUSUL: came back reporting fd0, and saying the drive is post 1991 [17:59] Sheepherd_, yes [18:00] Sheepherd_, use either alsa or pulse [18:00] so is pulse :P [18:00] alsa + dmix ftw [18:00] bazhang, should i use another extension other than shockwave flash? [18:00] bin10101: how many screens ... you said 4x3 =12? [18:00] romulo: wow those poor developers xD [18:00] chris___, where did you install it from? the repos? [18:00] erUSUL: STILL says theres no media in the drive [18:00] gartral: did /dev/fd0 appeared now ? paste the messages in pastebin please [18:00] i am totally new to this enviorment please guide me === Twilo|away is now known as Twilo [18:00] Sheepherd_, oss is old like hell [18:00] romulo: mine is doing 21 accounts and 49 IRC chat rooms [18:01] I don't understand the benefits of alsa really [18:01] err [18:01] marshell: good place to start www.ubuntupocketguide.com [18:01] bin10101, shit, im not sure what to look anymore ;( [18:01] bazhng, directly through firefox's extensions [18:01] http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/ marshell read this primer [18:01] pulse over plain alsa/dmix [18:01] i guess im going to compile it, and callgrind [18:01] romulo, please no cursing [18:01] thks fccf [18:01] marshell: well you will have to read some docs first or ask something specific "guide me" is a too broad petition for this channel [18:01] thks bazhang u people are great [18:01] fccf: just one external monitor but its 4 by 3 instead of widescreen like the laptop. the only options I am getting for the twinview are the wide screen, well except for 640x480 [18:02] marshell: check the linux documentation project (tldp.org) for beginners guides [18:02] bin10101: and you have tried to detect displays [18:02] erUSUL: http://gar.pastebin.com/f2127fc75 [18:02] romulo: is pulse and alsa the same? cuz i dont have pulse as option in the audio settings [18:03] How safe and easy is it to move system folders from the / partition to another partition? And how would I go about doing such a thing? [18:03] thks thor [18:03] Sheepherd_: no, it's not the same [18:03] !lol | marshell [18:03] marshell: Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. [18:03] gartral: chacked if /dev/fd0 appeared ? === Enk is now known as Enkz [18:04] erUSUL: yes, still does not appear [18:04] xTheGoat121x, mount the partition first and use the command; cp -dpr /* /media/ [18:04] gartral: it seems to be no error but we do not get the apropiate device to work with :( [18:04] gartral: dunno what is happening; sorry [18:05] Matic, Thanks. One other question, though... how safe would it be to move a large directory, like /usr? [18:05] I upgraded to Ibex a couple days ago and I've been having a ton of hard lockups randomly after I come out of hibernation. The logs don't say anything [18:05] th0r, thanks for your help im lovn this two apps [18:05] erUSUL: when i try from nautilus it actually addresses the right device, as i see the light and hear the motors... [18:05] *these 2 apps [18:06] stdruseren: I used to use them a lot when I was working...now I just play with them in retirement [18:06] thanks see ya... [18:06] xTheGoat121x, it's safe coz the cp command copies but does not move, but remember always to backup your work always if you are new to linux, sometimes it's almost impossible to recover some files! be careful anyway [18:06] thor what did you use to do? [18:06] chris___, lets keep in channel please; others can help out if I don't know [18:07] Any pro feeling like helping a ubuntu noob with some sound issues? [18:07] Dragonsong, ask the channel a question [18:07] stdruseren: used to be a network analyst for Ericsson Telecom [18:07] Matic, ah, well, I've been on board with Ubuntu since 7.04, but I've never had to deal with moving system folders before [18:07] Dragonsong, as the query [18:07] th0r so u r a seasoned man [18:07] fccf: yes [18:07] xTheGoat121x, good fo you [18:07] i need the opposite to ping host && echo works, so that only echo is proceding if ping failed [18:08] grawity: k so first im gonna need a audio tutorial ^^ https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound proposes OSS 4.x btw !? [18:08] Well basically, ALSA/Pulseaudio don't work. While using one of them all i get out is static [18:08] OSS works fine [18:08] Matic, thanks for the command [18:08] th0r, that must of been a cool job [18:08] Hi. Anyone know why when i click "Suspend", my computer goes down and back up again without staying suspended? Is this a known problem? (not talking about blackscreen after suspend) (checked bios settings and its set to S1 and S3)(9.04, nvidia gfx drivers)(10.6gb swap) [18:09] bazhang should i have swfdec-mozilla installed through synaptic?? [18:09] were will i get software to download from [18:09] Dragonsong: again smthing ppl cant with eh? [18:09] agree* [18:10] marshell, from the software repositories; all the software you need is there; accessed from synaptic package manager [18:10] Eh? [18:10] bazhang not all but most he/she need [18:10] bin10101: don't know if i can help further [18:10] chris___, flashplugin-nonfree is the one you want [18:10] marshell, linux softwares better reffered to as packages are installed thro the terminal. e.g apt-get install vlc(package name) or you can use aptitude install vlc(package name) [18:10] Dragonsong: about the audio driver [18:11] bazhang only this? [18:11] chris___, that should do it [18:11] i cannot find and launch boxee after installing it any clue?

After intalled Vista, I get "BOOTMGR is compressed" and I cannot boot the system. How do I recover the system with any Linux tools? [19:10] Flannel, zhura, sebsebseb, leaf-sheep: unfortunately, the machine is not local. I am trying to do remote support. [19:10] yoga: you put Vista on after Ubuntu? [19:10] madduck: That's fine. You can upgrade remotely. The steps are on that page. [19:10] Flannel: well, i know how to upgrade debian, but ubuntu does stuff funkily different here and there, thus my question [19:10] thanks for the link [19:11] fccf, hardy not jaunty still thanx i might just have to wait for an update to the backport :( [19:11] sebsebseb: I install Ubuntu first, then Vista. [19:11] madduck: Is it a GUI system you're upgrading? [19:11] yoga: right ok so only Vista boots at the moment yes? [19:11] yes [19:11] Flannel: yes [19:11] hello, please how to make tor start with vidalia and not at the starting of the system 9.04 ?

[19:12] yoga: if you put Windows on after a Linux distro, it goes over the boot loader, so only Windows can boot [19:12] madduck: Alright, after you get yourself up-to-date with breezy sources (theres a section on that page), you should make sure you have ubuntu-desktop ubuntu-standard ubuntu-minimal and an appropriate kernel image (linux-686-smp for instance) installed, *then* proceed with the upgrade from the command line, as stated on that page. [19:13] sebsebseb: no, no boot loader, just 'bootmgr is compressed' to reboot Ctl+Alt+DEL [19:13] yoga: ok this sounds like a possible Windows issue, or maybe hard disk issue [19:13] Is there a way from one of the TTYs to see if a disk is still in use? My netbook just seemed to lock up on a large file transfer, but I don't want to stop anything if it's still copying files [19:13] yoga: Ubuntu was installed first, and then you put Vista on? [19:13] bullgard4: Thats means that its available for apt to install. I don't know why synaptic doesnt show it, but at least you can use apt-get to install it. [19:14] sebsebseb: Yes, Ubuntu was intalled first, then Vista. [19:14] how do i start networking automatically on boot ? [19:14] yoga: and for some reason the Vista boot loader is not working [19:14] ??? [19:14] fccf, my gosh i've been looking online all this time how did you find that, thank you very much [19:14] yoga: ok well normally it's recommended to put Vista on first and then Linux distro, becasue of how Windows goes over the Grub boot loader [19:15] sebsebseb: yes, it corrupt the bootloader, I think.

[19:31] what would be a way to edit my menu.lst file from windows? notepad doesn't do it correctly [19:31] Artissimo: imagemagick is a package that contains many utilities, none of them are actually called imagemagick though. [19:31] SirTopHat go to terminal window and enter sudo gedit [19:32] Open menu.lst from there [19:32] Artissimo, type apt-get install imagemagick and see whether it will tell you whether it exists or not [19:32] no, I use nano on ubuntu [19:32] I mean from windows [19:32] Oh, from windows............. sorry, didn't read it all. [19:32] I need some help...What is the name of the program that runs some windows programs on linux I forgot [19:32] SirTopHat, might be better off booting from the live cd and editing it from there [19:32] SirTopHat: Notepad2 (my favourite), Notepad++, EditPad...

[19:34] progre55: do you have intel card? [19:34] SirTopHat: right. You'll need a proper text editor then. SciTE is one that won't require installation. I'm not sure about the other suggested ones. [19:34] thefr34k, yeah [19:34] Why on Windows though? You could boot from an Ubuntu live CD and do it. [19:34] SirTopHat: Unix uses different newline characters than Windows. Just download Notepad2 (http://flos-freeware.ch/) or a similar editor, almost all of them can use both.

There's one at http://fs-driver.org/, but it has never worked for me on ubuntu. [19:37] thefr34k, it says it's installed.. [19:37] what would I be looking for in the dmesg?

[19:38] progre55: that will let you rechoose all your graphic options [19:39] braniff, I don't see any 'not found' messages at all [19:39] grawity: last time or one the last time's I tried it, I had to put it in XP compatability mode in Vista [19:39] no like I can mouse over the firefox shortcuts and it recognizes that im over it but it won't let me click [19:39] grawity: and then it would work [19:39] by the way, I remember updating apt today, and when it asked me to restart, I disregarded.. restarted after several hours, but was never able to get it started ) [19:39] recently i have installed ubuntu server kernel to activate 4 gb ram ... but i found that after the installation of the kernel i found that screen is refreshing slowly. [19:39] Flannel: it works fairly good... but I miss some new packages. that's why I'm planning an upgrade. It's extremely boring to backport that new packages using PPA.... [19:39] sebsebseb: Well, I'm already on XP. [19:39] sebsebseb: I'll try ext2fsd later. [19:39] cudev, try bring up one of the interfaces manually: ifconfig up [19:39] should I just burn a 9.04 cd and reinstall? [19:39] That does work [19:39] But I would like them to come up at start [19:39] Why is it so hard just to boot into recovery console to edit the menu.lst [19:39] grawity: it's better really to keep Windows and Ubuntu or any other alternative OS seperate [19:40] As other init.d scripts rely on those interfaces [19:40] Bravewolf: Ah, yeah. That's a very good reason to upgrade. Upgrading to 8.10 and then to 9.04 will be fine.

[19:41] w6647: i would say a clean install is usually better than upgrade [19:41] How can I get aptitude to display all of the changes for the version of all the software that is to be upgraded? [19:41] grawity: well you should really store that stuff on an Ext3 I think, but it dosn't really matter [19:41] well, be right back.. let me try to reconfigure my xorg [19:41] grawity: as long as Windows shut itself down properly, so you can access the NTFS [19:41] !paste [19:41] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel.

[19:59] chris1: was everything else working? [19:59] hmmm... this card is pretty new so i guess this is not a driver problem [19:59] chris1, you could try just reinstalling alsa ... sudo apt-get install alsa-base alsa-mixer [20:00] this thread sais this is a repeated bug http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1138069.html [20:00] DarkMage26: Yeah, everything worked wonderfully....just the speakers Halitech: Okay, i'll try that [20:00] but somehow thre is no good fix out there [20:01] at least i did not found oue [20:01] one [20:02] If I want to create a special user for just running things like certain cron scripts, is it sufficient to set the shell to /bin/false to prevent logging in as the user?

[20:36] ubuntu_: hmm... not sure if your data is recoverable or not... [20:36] and its 0.5.5 or something like that rather than 1.01 - seems many softwares in the official repository are outdated....

I just don't want it to be mounted [20:37] upiity: how it is conected to the computer usb ? ethernet? [20:37] !list [20:37] This is not a file sharing channel (or network). If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [20:38] I have a slight problem: [20:38] So I've decided to upgrade from intrepid to jaunty (since more and more package developers stopped developing for intrepid [>.<]). Things seem to be more responsive and everything seems to have gone alright except for one thing: The Notification System (notify-osd?) seems to be broken. So a notification pops up, and I try to hover over it, then it disappears. Move cursor away from the 'area' and it reappears.

[20:38] josh_93: what do you want to install [20:39] SuperNudge (for pidgin) [20:39] jrib: no, I mean, I can't even click the x [20:39] upiity: maybe the enclosure has a switch or something like that for xchanging raid mode ? [20:39] josh_93: when you untar the package is there a README or INSTALL file in it ? [20:39] happy-dude: you aren't supposed to need to click on anything [20:39] jrib: like, I hover over it, it disappears, then it reappears [20:39] Hello [20:39] this is what i get on fsck http://pastebin.org/ [20:39] jrib: it's intended for a pop up window to play catch-me-if-you-can ? [20:39] oh >D [20:39] I have an issue that I hope someone can help me with [20:40] Does anyone know how to deal with the segfault I get with ntfs-config? [20:40] happy-dude: yes, that's intended. It gets out of your way. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/notify-osd/+bug/371093 Is wthat what you mean? [20:40] http://pastebin.org/2598 That is what i get [20:40] !starwars [20:40] Sorry, I don't know anything about starwars [20:40] erUSUL: I see not such switch on the enclosure.

[20:41] EEEBull: please stop - you know that's nothing to do with ubuntu [20:41] gabe: can you expand please [20:41] ikonia: i KNOW lol. i was asking if there was any chance fixing it [20:41] Skaperen: the notification provides information. So you read it and get information. If you move your mouse over it, it thinks you want to do something with the window below it so it gets out of your way. You shouldn't need to click on a notification in the new system [20:41] The couple I've tried were americas army, open ttd, and danger from the deep [20:41] ikonia: Yes, and its in another language.. [20:41] jrib -- wait ... so I'm a bit confused... explain to me how it's exactly supposed to work? [20:41] They don't run [20:41] ubuntu_: you need to replace the superblock with a known good superblock, there is an example in the error output [20:41] sorry if I sound 'noobish' [20:41] upiity: what disk model is this? maybe your only option is to do it in a windows/mac computer [20:41] gabe: can you specify some apps that don't run [20:41] I gave you examples [20:41] happy-dude: it pops up, you read it and get information. The reason it disappears is so the popups never obstruct you from getting to what is below them [20:42] erUSUL: http://wdc.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/wdc.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=2537 [20:42] ikonia: From what i can tell, it just tells me to make the file however. just as you would normally, but it dose this with ALL .tar.gz files [20:42] ikonia, i was just seeing if the ! caused the bot response. I apologise... new here!!! [20:42] jrib: so is it supposed to reappear after I move away? [20:42] gabe: can you please type and tab complete my name so it highlights like I am doing to you [20:42] happy-dude: if it hasn't timed out yet, yeah [20:42] !enter | gabe [20:42] gabe: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [20:42] jrib: and this is a system wide thing? (like for pidgin notifications also) [20:42] josh_93: so what's the problem ? [20:42] gabe: those are not 3rd party apps btw ;) [20:42] hi, i want to backup my system partition so that my system with its settings is saved... how can i do this? [20:43] ikonia: i get exactly the same error when i try e2fsck -b 8193 /dev/sda6 [20:43] ikonia: did you look at the error i posted.. [20:43] ubuntu_: you may not have a valid superblock on your system [20:43] gabe: open ttd is the most basic so we'll start there [20:43] josh_93: I didn't see one [20:43] Anyone knows something about ARP spoofing here? Or maybe direct me to an active channel where I can ask. I suspect I'm being the victim of a man in the middle attack, but know to little about to tell for sure. [20:43] happy-dude: right, there's one notification daemon. So as long as apps are sending their notifications to the standard place, your notifications should behave uniformly [20:43] efu: ##security or ##networking [20:43] I think I know the problem to open ttd, however [20:43] ikonia: http://pastebin.com/m5a1d5ade [20:43] and I can't figure out this tab thing...one sec [20:43] jrib alright, that's reassuring (i though I broke something during install [O.O] ...) THANK YOU !! [20:43] ikonia: It says it cant find anything. it always says that [20:44] gabe: type my name at the start of the line, you can use tab to complete it [20:44] josh_93: your environment is not setup correctly, and you're missing the core header files [20:44] gabe: type actio then press tab# [20:44] ikonia: ok great. i guess im doomed then, right? or is there any option to fix the existing ones or something? [20:44] jrib: once it goes away it should stay away and not come back, unless there is a button on it to click it away, but then if there is, then you can't click on it if it goes away ... so it needs to either stay so you can make it go away or it needs to not come back [20:44] ActionParsnip: okay, now it should work [20:44] gabe: awesome [20:44] ubuntu_: you need to try other super blocks, you may have a good one [20:44] Skaperen: you can submit that as a request :) As for buttons, there aren't any in the new system [20:45] ikonia: ok. is there a command to display the superblocks i have? [20:45] ikonia: What do you mean my enviroment is not set up properly? [20:45] gabe: ok did you get the data files that you need extra (you can use the ones in the retail version. I think there are some GPL ones around the place) [20:45] jrib: then how to you make it stay away? [20:45] josh_93: things like the PKG_CONFIG_PATH [20:45] gabe: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=174742 [20:45] ubuntu_: e2fs should show it [20:45] gabe: that pretty much lays it out nicel [20:45] ActionParsnip: Not yet, that's why I think I know the issue to that [20:45] Skaperen: don't know if there is a way. The bug I linked earlier was asking for exactly that [20:45] ubuntu_: check the man page of it, it should list it, I think fsck can also call it a little easier [20:46] ActionParsnip: But, the others (americas army, danger from the deep) do not run [20:46] ikonia: when i type "./configure" it says "bash: ./configure: No such file or directory" [20:46] gabe: are they full 3d games? [20:46] josh_93: you don't need to do ./configure [20:46] jrib: what if it pops up when the pointer is already right there? I think that's a bad design [20:46] streblo thanks [20:46] ikonia: Then what do i need to do? [20:46] ActionParsnip: yes, but I have 3d rendering [20:46] A better question. How do I destroy raid setup so my ONE external harddrive will show its two discs as two and not mirrored? [20:46] Skaperen: meh, I don't care for it either but that's for a different forum [20:46] I need to have 3 php scripts run at startup. Should I just create three shell files to run php /path/to/my/file.php and then link them with update-rc.d or is there a better way? [20:46] how can i adjust the horizontal and vertical screen size using gnome? my monitor itself does not have this adjustment ability. anyone know? [20:46] can anyone shed some light on the ntfs-config application please? I get a segfault with 0.5.5 [20:46] josh_93: setup up the enviornment correctly, install the missing headers, that is the first step, then debug any additional errors [20:47] ikonia: Okay, how do i do that? Where can i download the headers? [20:47] ActionParsnip: When I run from terminal, it shuts down [20:47] gabe: do you run compiz? [20:47] ActionParsnip: NO [20:47] jrib: OK, agreed ... now back to my question and see if someone can answer that ... do I need to repeat it? [20:47] ikonia: I installed ubuntu directly from there website, and installed it without modifieng anything, i dont see what could be wrong [20:47] gabe: good [20:47] [biabia]: OOPS..caps [20:48] gabe: did you install using the installer or the deb? [20:48] josh_93: well it depends on what the package needs setting up, if you can't understand the README/INSTALL files it may be best to contact the maintainer to get the info - then you can write an english version of the README/INSTALL file too [20:48] josh_93: from who's website ? [20:48] ActionParsnip: I installed using the installer, not deb [20:48] Skaperen: I have no idea what your question is so you would get at least one more set of eyes looking at it by repeating it [20:48] ActionParsnip: everything ran smoothly [20:48] ikonia: It dose this with any file i try and install (and there readmes are in english) and it tells me to do the same thing. Unpack it, make it, and make the install [20:48] gabe: thats cool [20:48] ikonia: and every time, i get "error no such file or directory" on every step [20:49] josh_93: if you read the dependencies it will normally tell you [20:49] Hey :) [20:49] gabe: is there a log file it creates when ran? [20:49] ActionParsnip: no [20:49] can any1 tell me how to activate aggressive power save mode [20:49] I want to disabled the automounting of plugged in media (USB, SD, etc) ... including the reading of the media done by some program called "vol_id" (guessing it is reading for the volumn ID) ... where can I change the preferrence for this?

[20:50] gabe: thats fine [20:50] I want the device to still be present as a device ... make the /dev node and show in computer devices ... just not mount any filesystems [20:50] * Dekko scratches head.... mountmanager also gives segmentation fault?!?

Its really quiet [21:03] sebsebseb: the hardware driver failed miserably [21:03] firecrotch: it says 3 seconds.... [21:03] xTheGoat121x: ahhhh.... You proberly should go check the EEE forums the built in readers can be require specific tweaks/kernel options at times for optimal ussage. [21:03] thefr34k: which? [21:03] Has anybody else had this problem? [21:03] So: Does anyone know which package is the kernel-source for 2.6.30? [21:03] xTheGoat121x: i had to do some kernel boot options to get them to work right on my AcerAspireOne. [21:03] MrPiracy, are you windows partitions windows GUID partitions by any chance? [21:04] Dr_Willis, well, I'm using eeebuntu but no one seems to be alive in their room, so I figured I'd ask in here. [21:04] Hi. I have a damaged TrueCrypt volume and I want to retreieve my data. The volume mounts but is seen as RAW. So GetDataBack won't Work. [21:04] They're dead in#ubuntu-artwork, too :D [21:04] Majost, ????? [21:05] i can't scroll down my bootloader, any help? [21:05] MrPiracy, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUID_Partition_Table [21:05] xTheGoat121x: you may want to try the netbook remix edition of ubuntu , and i think theres an eee-puppylinux variant also. see if they all have the same issue.. I dont think the usb error would be for the built in card reader on tht machine.. but i could be wrong. [21:05] erUSUL, yes the man page had it. thanks... again :) [21:05] can anyone point me to a doc/tutorial for upgrading ubuntu desktop to server [21:06] Snomi: ive seen some machines where GRUB does not see/use the usb keyboard properly. I had to use a PS2 keyboard.. OR twiddled with the 'legacy usb' settings in the bios. and try to get it going.. Unles of course you are using a ps2 keyboard.. and have the issue.. [21:06] I have seen issues with libparted having issues recognizing partition tables which are not MBR tables. [21:06] Majost, yes they are [21:06] streblo: install the services you want.. and the server kernel if you REALLY need it (proberly not) done.. [21:06] Dr_Willis: but shouldnt there be a timeout of 3 seconds anyway? [21:06] MrPiracy, That is likely to be the problem. [21:06] Snomi: depends on the grub configs. I forget the defaults. i always edit mine [21:07] Majost, it's booting up fine windows, win7 and linux [21:07] Dr_Willis: well u check /boot/grub/menu.lst [21:07] In the howto for installing Jaunty on a MacBook Pro 5.1/5.2 two solutions are mentioned to get the nVidia 9400 working. One is using elilo, and one is using grub2. Anyone done this and know what is the preferred way? [21:07] Majost, MBR, the problem? [21:07] Dr_Willis: and it said 3 seconds. However, there is no timeout [21:07] streblo if it's really going to be a production server, you should consider partitioning appropriately (separate /usr, /var. /home. /tmp among others). one goal is to prevent / from filling [21:07] no, GPT the problem. [21:07] Snomi: i edit my menu,lst for 30 sec delay, and i check the colors.. sounds like yours is just 'hanging' which is weird [21:08] Majost, mine are mbr [21:08] Dr_Willis, the only reason I suspect it's the SD card reader is because it's the only disk in use currently, and it's only when I'm using it that I get these errors -- plus, I'm not live-booting anything [21:08] Dr_Willis: check the colors? [21:08] Snomi: i like editing my grub menu colors :) and a few other tweaks. [21:08] ill go back to liveCD then again methinks Dr_Willis [21:08] hello, im trying to use TeamSpeak, but i have a big problem, my microphone works, when i open TeamSpeak, but in less then a minute, the microphone stops to work..here's my dmesg with the error, that i can't understand: http://pastebin.com/m50b2e6f4 [21:08] how do i decrease the reboot and shutdown countdown timer?? [21:09] Well, if they are MBR -- and it's still not working, I don't know what to tell you. =/ === YDdraigGoch is now known as WelshNotBritish [21:09] Dr_Willis: liveCD doesnt recognise keyboard untill after language choice either :S [21:09] heloo to all [21:10] Snomi: for the language.. i hit the escape key - to get to the menu 'under' that.. I find it annoying how the 'pick langage' menu item pops up automatically... [21:10] i get an error like 0.582........ not responding on boot Dr_Willis [21:10] Snomi: ni idea on that - sorry [21:10] k [21:11] any ideas for a straightforwards re-wipe D< [21:11] everybody out there nice to meet you.. [21:11] i formated a partition into ext4 from ntfs useing gparted, and now the file manager says i cant add/create files because i do not own the partition... how can i buy my partition back? lol [21:11] Give me 20 $. [21:11] :D [21:12] Dreki: linxu has file permissions.. Your user does not have permissions to access the filesystem.. make a dir on the filesystem. and chown/chmod it to be owned by your user..

CLOSE out that nautilus as soon as you are done.. :) [21:13] use terminal [21:14] i tried googleing a "copy" command for terminal, but found nothing =/ [21:14] josh_93: you would not belive the problems a root file manager can cause.. when you forget its running as root. [21:14] josh_93: err.. bash/command line basics.. google 'bash tutorial' [21:14] well.. i just got a ratehr large error message typing gksu nautilus [21:14] josh_93: 'cp' is the copy command.

You dont even see the GDM login screen eh? [21:21] chrisr: how about in sound preferences [21:22] Dr_Willis, nope, it appears for a sec and disappears.. with that "login" sound [21:22] Dr_Willis anything you can tell me on why ntfs-config (and Mountmanager) segfaults?? [21:22] Any simple way to disable system beep? [21:23] Any simple way to disable system beep, with 9.04? Used to be in the 'Sound' preferences section, no longer there. [21:23] Dr_Willis, and actually I thought it was compiz.. and removed compiz.. but still the same =) please help me out [21:23] progre55: i would disable autologin till you get it figured out.. and perhaps disable gdm to make it boot to the console.. that way you can use the command line to 'test/try to fix' things [21:23] bucky: yes the volume is turned up there too [21:23] Q_Continuum: that's been covered in every online linux mag on linuxhomepage.com for a couple of months [21:23] the volume is up everywhere but the recording is still quiet [21:23] Q_Continuum: depending on which beep.. you can blacklist/rmmod the 'pcspkr' module and that will totally kill the system 'beep' [21:23] i have the opposite question of Q_Continuum: is there a sound mixer daemon that will activate my PC speaker when a new sound comes on? [21:23] Dr_Willis, and how to disable all that from the terminal? because now I'm on recovery-mode [21:24] in windows there is a mic boost option and it gets loud enough [21:24] there is no such option in ubuntu [21:24] chrisr: define "mic boost." [21:24] bucky: Never knew about that site. Thanks for the link. [21:24] progre55: the auto login - is controlled by the gdm.conf file. not sure of the proper way to disable the gdm service.. as a TEST you could just try 'startx' and see if any error messages show up. [21:24] hdon: its a tick box that makes the mic recording volume increase [21:25] what is the path of httpd.conf in ubuntu ? [21:25] progre55: if you are using the nvidia or ati drivers.. you may want to try reinstalling thjem also. [21:25] anirban: "locate httpd.conf" [21:25] * hdon sighs [21:25] ikonia: i had no success at all, it seems that my partition hasnt any superblock anymore? is that possible? i even scanned the disk for superblock backups with TestDisk. Do i still have a chance to save my data? [21:25] do people not record sound in linux? [21:26] Dr_Willis, and how to disable compiz from terminal? and also a theme? damn I was messing around with "opacity" and stuff.. [21:26] Hi. I have Ubuntu and Office XP with Crossover. I have used it to open an XLS file that i have lost now. Any chance that ubuntu keeps some cahce files, temp, etc? [21:26] chrisr: You can record audio in linux just fine, why? [21:26] I have a question.... assume that someone had local access to your computer and in the GUI (nautilus) deleted some of your files, not only that, they emptied the trash container.... i realize not likely to recover them... BUT where will one find the proof? is there not a log with date/time stamps someplace? [21:26] Dr_Willis, no, not nvidia, Ati [21:26] progre55: its very likely you goofed up some settings then.. You COULD go hardcore and just delete all the users settings... but you would lose your settings.. :) or just move them all to some subdir as a test. [21:27] !compiz [21:27] Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz [21:27] Dr_Willis, where are they? :) [21:27] progre55: the #compiz channel may know the proper way to disable compiz from the command line. [21:27] how do i decrease the reboot and shutdown countdown timer?? [21:27] progre55: .gtk* and .gconf* dirs normally [21:27] progre55: Using gnome, you can disable compiz by starting gnome's default window manager with 'metacity --replace' [21:28] Hi. I have Ubuntu and Office XP with Crossover. I have used it to open an XLS file that i have lost now. Any chance that ubuntu keeps some cahce files, temp, etc? [21:28] Dr_Willis, and btw, when I tried to startx, had an error message "failed to load module "i810" (module doesnt exist)" [21:29] chrisr: do you think your sound card provides some feature for which you cannot find a user interface under Ubuntu? [21:29] chrisr: or do you think Windows just offers to digitally compress the waveform coming from your audio ADC? === mike is now known as Guest31636 [21:30] progre55: What are you trying to accomplish here? [21:30] and who suggested me to run "metacity --replace"? sorry, I'm on a recovery mode terminal.. lost the message ( [21:30] hello [21:30] progre55: It was me [21:30] i have an error at boot up ubuntu [21:30] soreau, cant start my X, was playing around with compiz, and now I get a black screen with the mouse pointer in the middle [21:31] hdon: i really dont know. i just know that in windows i can hear it properly [21:31] it says modprobe FATAL error /lib/blah..../modules.dep no such files or directory [21:31] soreau, how can I disable compiz, and maybe some themes, from the recovery-mode terminal? ) [21:31] soreau: i cant get any volume from my mic [21:32] progre55: Jusr chmod -x it and then run metacity when you get X up (assuming compiz is causing some kind of problem for you) [21:32] AlphaWaves: where you able to boot before? [21:32] progre55: thats just somthing about it checking for intel hardware. [21:32] DarkMage26: ims till able to boot [21:32] Hi. I have Ubuntu and Office XP with Crossover. I have used it to open an XLS file that i have lost now. Any chance that ubuntu keeps some cahce files, temp, etc? [21:32] progre55: most of the common window managers use 'whatever --replace' to have them take over. :) [21:32] but i must unplug and replug the external hdd [21:32] soreau, but I have already removed compiz by apt-get remove ) is that okay? [21:33] AlphaWaves: you boot from an external? [21:33] DarkMage26: ni [21:33] no [21:33] using command X -configure aint putting my driver as intel with all its options instead it gives vesa, how do get the system to detect the video card? [21:33] Dr_Willis, and how did you say to disable "auto-login"? [21:33] could someone help me with creating a bugreport? [21:33] DarkMage26: but my external hdd arent recognoze until i plug 'em again [21:33] AlphaWaves: what is the problem exactly? [21:34] progre55: thats in the gdm config file.. 'gdm.conf' try the command 'locate gdm.conf' to find its location [21:34] because when I restart now, I will have a really hard time to get the wi-fi connection running again ) [21:34] DarkMage26: you must unplug and replug the external hdd to be recognise [21:34] progre55: Sure, but I still don't know what you're ultimately trying to accomplish here [21:34] AlphaWaves: Are the drives attached during boot? [21:34] progre55: they are in /etc/gdm/ [21:34] I have a question.... assume that someone had local access to your computer and in the GUI (nautilus) deleted some of your files, not only that, they emptied the trash container.... i realize not likely to recover them... BUT where will one find the proof? is there not a log with date/time stamps someplace?

There's usually one primary and two options for a single secondary [21:44] bnmrrs: I also like nohup and screen for long running stuff [21:44] soreau: that's the conclusion I'm coming to. If I want a 3rd monitor, it seems I need a second graphics card :-( [21:44] thanks edbrian [21:44] AlphaWaves: what does the kern.log show for errors? [21:45] serph: Which rendering method are you using? The output of 'egrep "XAA|EXA|UXA /var/log/Xorg.0.log" should tell you [21:45] sec [21:45] Jason3 I need to run three scripts at startup. I'm writing a shell script that will start them up. Is it possible to use screen for something like that?

I don't want to have to write 5 init scripts.. do you know a good way around that? [21:48] soreau, 1.6.0 [21:48] serph: Then you definitely should not be using XAA, but EXA or UXA instead. I recommend trying both EXA and UXA to see which yields better results [21:48] all of the scripts are related [21:48] AlphaWaves: is that an error from the log file?

[21:49] edbian: man ls [21:49] edbian: it's the drwxr-xr-x stuff in ls -l [21:49] edbian: ls -l or stat === WelshNotBritish is now known as YDdraigGoch [21:50] Trijntje: shauno guntbert Thanks!

[21:50] serph: Yes, you have to add it to your xorg.conf file. In the Device section, use Option "AccelMethod" "EXA" and comment out any references to XAA. The easy gui way is to open xorg.conf in gedit ;) [21:50] is there an echo in here? [21:50] one script that starts the rest?

How to open another user's desktop in a window? Not SU, but something where I can actually use my mouse to control it. [21:53] theTroy: new login in a window? [21:53] yes [21:53] theTroy have you tried VNC server [21:53] when I try to install anything on 9.04 I am getting this error - reading database ... dpkg: unrecoverable fatal error, aborting: files list file for package 'desktop-file-utils' is missing final newline E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2) - am I screwed? [21:53] ehh no, not VNC please [21:53] there was a way to do it without VNC [21:53] theTroy: Just add it to your menu! System -> Preferences -> Main Menu [21:54] theTroy: Assuming this is a local user. [21:55] Work_: i don't think so. i don't know how to fix it but you can probably recreate the packages db [21:55] edbian yes I want to do it on the same machine [21:55] but it was not made with VNC [21:55] theTroy: Did you add "new login in a window" to your menu? [21:56] hmm, second [21:56] Hilikus: how would I do that? [21:56] edbian where is it? [21:57] Work_: i don't know. i just said i don't think it's a huge deal [21:57] theTroy: System Tools [21:57] Work_: google recreate packages database [21:57] gday. after installing lirc.. how can i test my IR receiver? will irw display any IR signals it receives? [21:57] * Gon ausente: Ausente por el momento [21:57] edbian what is the command for it? I cannot find what you were talking about in the preferences > menu [21:58] stowaway: no, it will dispaly signals that it recognizes [21:58] stop [21:58] edbian found it, thank you [21:58] I am just being slow [21:58] theTroy: I'm glad you found it :) Let me know if you need any more help [21:58] okay. so if i use a remote not set up for it it wont display anything [21:59] edbian actually I do, when I try to, it says X server failed. I am using the proprietary Nvidia drivers [21:59] stowaway: correct [21:59] Hello, people who know so much more about ubuntu than I. [21:59] hi joannethrax_ [21:59] I don't suppose any of you would be so kind as to help me configure my wireless connexion? [21:59] Does anyone have a thinkpad T40 with Ubuntu 9.04 or similar installed? [21:59] cool thanks. ive been trying to use my MCE remote on my soundgraph imon IR recviever. but i dont think the rmeote is setup [21:59] Hi, soreau. How are you? [21:59] its setup for the imon pad [21:59] so will have to find the pad first [22:00] joannethrax_: Well let's start with what device you have. What is your wifi chipset listed as in the output of 'lspci'? [22:00] theTroy: I don't know why. Run it in a terminal and see if there are any more informative errors [22:01] intell wifi 5100 [22:01] joannethrax_: and what's the problem exactly? [22:01] theTroy: I don't know why. Run it in a terminal and see if there are any more informative errors [22:01] theTroy: is package 'xnest' installed? I believe that's what gdmflexichooser uses for windowed logins [22:02] soreau: it doesn't seem to connect at all. Right now I have an ethernet cable plugged into this laptop. [22:02] ...which I just got yesterday. [22:02] It worked on the windoze side, before I wiped vista completely. [22:02] joannethrax_: Ok, that's good. Do you have encryption on your AP (Access Point) [22:03] No. [22:03] I don't believe so. I just turned off the WEP key... [22:03] joannethrax_: So what happens when you try to connect? [22:04] shauno edbian thank you, xnest has done it [22:04] soreau: well...I'm not sure. [22:04] * joannethrax_ has never had wireless before. [22:05] theTroy: NP! [22:05] joannethrax_: Ok, how are you trying to connect exactly? [22:05] soreau: How should I be? :) [22:06] soreau: There's a little "wireless" button on this Dell, but I've no idea where or how to confugure what network it should connect to. [22:06] when I try to install anything on 9.04 I am getting this error - reading database ... dpkg: unrecoverable fatal error, aborting: files list file for package 'desktop-file-utils' is missing final newline E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2) - I am trying to fix it with $ echo -en '\n' >> /var/lib/dpkg/info/desktop-file-utils.list - but i keep getting permission denied.... [22:06] ...anyone have any suggestions? [22:06] joannethrax_: Assuming your drivers are working ok, you're using gnome with network-manager nm-applet, just left click on the wifi meter in your taskbar then select your AP from the list [22:06] hello [22:07] im trying to exchange files by bluetooth between laptop/desktop [22:07] howcome eiciel says "cannot open operation is not supported" [22:07] soreau: I'm not using gnome with network-manager nm-applet... [22:07] joannethrax_: What are you using then? [22:07] when I try to add user-specific permissions [22:07] but both keep saying service is not supported by remote device [22:07] soreau: WindowMaker [22:07] Is there a standalone app I can run? [22:07] i installed every obex-package i could find [22:07] joannethrax_: This is #ubuntu you know? [22:07] yes [22:07] Yes. I'm running ubuntu [22:08] How do I mount a samba share with smbfs and give myself write privileges? [22:08] Windowmaker is just the window manager [22:09] Can somebody recommand a good vCard editor, if so please message me, THANX! [22:09] I originally went with the Kubuntu desktop, but the interface made my skin crawl, so I installed windowmaker [22:09] How do you run Windows inside of Ubuntu? [22:09] wizzo50: use wine [22:09] joannethrax_: Alright, let's try some things from the CLI. What does 'iwconfig' say for your interfaces? (eg. eth0, lo, etc.) [22:10] Wizzo with a Virtual Machine [22:10] wizzo50: You can use a VM like virtual box or vmware [22:10] How do I run VM [22:10] or set it up in here [22:11] VB [22:11] soreau: lo, eth0 and wmaster0 all give "no wireless extensions"... [22:11] soreau: wlan0 has IEE802.11abgn, etc, etc. [22:11] and pan0 has "no wireless extensions" [22:11] joannethrax_: Ok, so your interface is wlan0. Try scanning with 'iwlist wlan0 scan' [22:12] When I use rhythmbox to play music while I'm on my computer my mouse becomes less (not "un" but "less") responsive. Is rhythmbox just a resource hog? Top says it never uses more than 50% of my CPU [22:12] soreau: Okay. It seems to have found my network via that, if I'm interpreting it correctly. [22:12] At least it found the "2WIRE400" [22:13] edbian: it might be something else. what is using most of the CPU when that happens [22:13] soreau: How do you setup Virtual box in here [22:13] joannethrax_: Ok, now try setting up a connect with it: iwconfig wlan0 essid 2WIRE400 && dhclient wlan0 [22:14] Hilikus: The problem has been around for a long time (about 6 months) and I have been trying to figure out just that. I can't find any sort of pattern until today when I noticed "my mouse hasn't done that annoying sticky thing at all today" I also realized that today I wasn't using rhythmbox. Perhaps I should try using a different music player for a while and see if the problem persists [22:14] hmm. Lots of denied permissions and the like... [22:15] edbian: i really doubt that the music player would do that [22:15] Hilikus: I realize I don't have much scientific evidence that Rhythmbox is the problem but this is the best lead on the issue I've gotten in 6 months :) [22:15] Hilikus: Then I'll keep looking [22:15] ! pm | joannethrax_ [22:15] joannethrax_: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers and ensure that you're not getting bad advice.

I have an annoying left-over "cdrom0" icon on my desktop. When I try to unmount it, I get "is not mounted according to mtab". How can I get rid of that icon? [22:21] could anyone please inform me of how to connect an ubuntu to ubuntu machine thru VPN? [22:21] Failed to change to directory '/home/project3257/Desktop/Music' (Permission denied). [22:21] Hehe, it works not in a terminal [22:21] I also tried inserting a cdrom into the drive, which is no recognized any more. [22:21] why does eiciel not work when I try to apply ACL rule to a user? [22:21] no = not [22:21] any hints welcome. [22:21] !vpn [22:21] From more information on vpn please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Gaming_VPN_Using_PPTPD [22:22] jbuntu: sudo umount /media/cdrom0 [22:22] project3257: you need sudo .... [22:22] jerknextdoor: Ahhh, that easy. Thanks. [22:22] jbuntu: no problem. [22:22] anyone? [22:22] jerknextdoor: Do you have any idea, how those left over icons happen and why root can umount an unmounted drive? [22:23] project3257: sudo chmod 644 /home/project3257/Desktop/Music [22:23] does anyone know about VPN? [22:23] JOIN 0 [22:23] jbuntu: they are there so that you can mount the device easily [22:23] jbuntu: it just happens with my externals if i didn't eject them before i unplug them. dont know why it does it with cds every now and again. [22:24] jerknextdoor: It was a USB drive. Indeed, I might have unplugged it "untimely". [22:24] jerknextdoor: I will remember to always umount now before unplugging. [22:24] any way to reenable ctrl+alt+backspace without an internet connection in 9.04? [22:24] soreau: oh, okay. I didn't see the other way to pastebin (I'd alread had pastebinit installed) [22:24] jerknextdoor: Thanks again. [22:24] Which is better in Virtual Box for Windows Vista, use existing hard disk or create new hard disk under Boot Hard Disk(primary) [22:25] my apologies [22:25] jbuntu: right click unmount should work so you dont have to use the cmd line. [22:25] DarkMage26: hmm the trouble remain [22:25] how do i decrease the reboot and shutdown countdown timer?? [22:25] remains [22:25] jerknextdoor: Well, that was the one giving me the error message that the drive was not even mounted according to mtab. [22:25] oh thanks, sorry if you lost your time with such a noob question hehe. And how can I apply this to all files? [22:25] jbuntu: ah i get you. i think i had that error once. but dont remember what caused it. [22:26] hilikus boot/grub.menu.lst [22:26] soreau: http://paste.ubuntu.com/220075/ [22:26] jerknextdoor: Anyhow, I am now moving back to my other issue ... klicking hdd. It drives me nuts! But it is probably a hardware/driver issue. [22:26] hilikus gksudo gedit boot/grub/menu.lst [22:26] I'm having issues installing ubuntu with Wubi, anyone available to help me figure this out? [22:26] Which is better in Virtual Box for Windows Vista, use existing hard disk or create new hard disk under Boot Hard Disk(primary) [22:26] mickster04: noth thtat. the shutdown and reboot counter [22:26] Hilikus, whats that then? [22:27] when you choose to reboot or shutdown you get a ridiculously long 60seconds timer [22:27] project3257: its ok, we are here to help ... :-), and what do mean with "all files"? did you set the permissions for all files within Music to "none"? [22:27] How do I set my speakers to 5.1? [22:27] joannethrax_: Is nm-applet running by chance? 'ps ax|grep nm' should tell you [22:27] (I have a 5.1 setup. It works in Windows.) [22:28] <_Apple_> can I run Desktop Effects or Emerald while using a proprietary driver? [22:28] Well, the command line just unlocked the "music" folder, but the content is still locked "permission denied" [22:28] hi, i want to move the gnome panel to another desktop... how can i do this? i'm using nvidia twi nview [22:28] Which is better in Virtual Box for Windows Vista, use existing hard disk or create new hard disk under Boot Hard Disk(primary) to run Windows VISTA [22:28] project3257: do the same thing with folder/* [22:28] elad if you work it out pm me the solution i have a pc with ubuntu an 5.1 havent bothered to try...

[22:31] Hilikus: yes, I said you suggested it before (and I doubted the need for -R) - so you were right :-) [22:31] Total know-nothing end-user here. Trying to change the priority of Audacity to realtime, permanently. Found a forum thread that said to use "renice - " [22:31] Mba7eth: youd have to check out the wine appdb or cedega [22:32] What is the pid and how do I find it? [22:32] joannethrax_: nm-system-settings is running but not nm-applet. Do you have a taskbar in widow maker? If so, try running 'nm-applet' and see if something appears in your taskbar/tray [22:32] Oh okay [22:32] Bodsda: I just downloaded Virtual Box and am setting it up to run Vista in Ubuntu [22:32] isaac_: process id [22:32] hi [22:32] Bodsda: I don't want to play it in ubuntu .... just ran it as a server to access it from outside [22:32] isaac_: ps aux | grep processName [22:32] could anyone tell me how to connect an ubuntu box to another ubuntu box thru VPN? [22:32] Hilikus: sorry, mixed up the messages ..., its getting late here [22:32] every process has an id.. the command is TOP [22:32] Bodsda: Just new to me 1st time so I am not sure [22:32] isaac_: it's a number that identifies the process, you can find it by running pidof rhythmbox [22:32] wizzo50: ok, im unsure what you meant by 'create a hard disk' [22:32] To the best of my knowledge, "audacity" is the process id......... but it doesn't work. [22:32] soreau: windowmaker couldn't execute the command... [22:32] Thank you. [22:33] Bodsda: It is asking me that [22:33] Mba7eth: yes, but it is a game service, and ubuntu does not support it. [22:33] what's the sh alternative to bash's $UID? [22:33] !who | and project3257 [22:33] and project3257: 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 :) [22:33] wizzo50: what is the exact wording of the question? [22:33] thanks :) [22:33] guntbert: hehe its ok [22:33] isaac_: or rather, pidof audacity (or whatever the name of the program is) [22:34] pidof audacity gets me nothing. [22:34] isaac_: that won't change it permanently though [22:34] hi guys... [22:34] isaac_: pidof audacity means what is the pid number of the process audacity, run 'top' to find out [22:34] Bodsda, this doesnt work for me ;( [22:34] Well if it won't change it permanently, I might as well change it in system monitor............ [22:34] joannethrax_: Well you need to make absollutely sure you have turned off encryption, or if it is on, you would use 'iwconfig essid key where is wlan0, is the name of your AP and is your AP key in hex [22:34] isaac_: yes,same thing [22:34] DarkMage26: the pb remains with the same kernel [22:34] pw-toxic: make sure the panels are not locked, right click on, untick the lock panels option [22:35] boshhead: Create New Virtual Box [22:35] (guntbert !tab)I understand, sorry for all of this. It's all fixed now anyway. Thanks [22:35] How do you change it permanently? [22:35] but it disapear when i launch an old kernel [22:35] Bodsda, there is no lock option! [22:35] I am having troubles installing ubuntu 9.04 form pendrive in a toshiba nb100 is something related with hard disk but I don't know how advance... :( [22:35] isaac_: i don't know if you can. check if there is a settings file for audacity under etc or /etc/defaults [22:35] Bodsda: Create new Virtual Box To load Windows in here [22:36] pw-toxic: mm, there used to be.. Im not on gnome atm sorry. I'm sure there used to be some sort of lock option [22:36] isaac_: i mean, you can, but it would be a hack. you can change the shortcut you use to open it to also specify the nice level [22:36] wizzo50: yes, create a new virtualbox [22:36] Bodsda: And then it is asking me what I told you already [22:36] What's the sh command to get the current UID? [22:36] isaac_: but then if you run it from the terminal it won't catch it [22:37] Bodsda, in previous versions, there was such an option [22:37] :/ [22:37] Bodsda, and drag and drop worked well too! [22:37] Oh well, I'll reset it every time I run Audacity............ same as I have to do in Windoze. [22:37] wizzo50: you want to create it as a fixed or dynamic file in the file path it has as default [22:37] At least I CAN change it, both in Ubuntu and Windoze. [22:37] isaac_: just create a launcher that sets it to something if its that important [22:37] pw-toxic: dunno then, use fluxbox :) maybe ask in #gnome [22:37] hey boys [22:38] rtfm [22:38] Saop__: goodbye [22:38] Bodsda: I just want to run my Windows Vista in here so I don't have to reboot to load Windows [22:38] haha [22:38] Bodsda: So, I don't know what you mean by what your asking? [22:38] wizzo50: thats fine. What is the current question? [22:38] soreau: according to the router interface wireless network security is "disabled" [22:39] joannethrax_: Well I don't know why it wouldn't be offering DHCP.. do you have it configured as such? (it's starting to sound like a router config issue) [22:39] Bodsda: I already asked you, how do you setup the VB to run Vista on here [22:40] wizzo50: understood, but I have a bad memory, what is the setup asking you at this stage? [22:40] dragon_: id -u [22:40] hi guys, I am having troubles installing ubuntu 9.04 form pendrive in a toshiba nb100 is something related with hard disk but I don't know how advance, always appear the same (initramfs) console :( [22:40] dragon_: hey thanks :) === yoda is now known as Guest21123 [22:40] TuxRacer_SV: how did you create the pendrive [22:41] Bodsda: COo! Coo! I already told you that too. Later! [22:41] dragon_: no prob [22:41] soreau: I'm connected to that router directly, so I'm pretty certain DHCP is working... [22:41] dragon_: bit offtopic mate, could you take it to #ubuntu-offtopic please [22:41] TuxRacer_SV: is the problem related to partitions? [22:41] I've tried with modprobe ide_generic, modprobe ide_cd, modprobe ide_disk [22:41] ...I'm not sure what to change that would make the wireless not work.. [22:41] Bodsda, if you wanna help other people: right click on panel; uncheck expand; -> move panel -> recheck expand [22:41] Hilikus: i made the pendrive using unetbootin [22:41] wizzo50: I'm not going to be able to help you unless you calm down and repeat the question that the setup is asking you [22:41] TuxRacer_SV: was it from an ISO ? [22:42] <_Apple_> can I run compiz with the Nvidia driver? [22:42] pw-toxic: expand... what a stupid setting name, cheers though :) [22:42] TuxRacer_SV: i had that problem when i created it from a IMG [22:42] _Apple_: sure can [22:42] no dragon_ is not related to partitions... I have reading some blogs and all is pointing the error is due with hardisk issue [22:42] :O Hilikus !!!!!! it is a .img file [22:43] Saop__: please dont pm me without asking first [22:43] <_Apple_> would I have to reinstall compiz or edit something or what because I wont work for me Bodsda [22:43] TuxRacer_SV: yep. unetbootin doesn't support .img [22:43] joannethrax_: Perhaps you should try killing nm-system-settings then trying again with the iwconfig and dhclient commands [22:43] Hilikus: downloaded directly from ubuntu download zone [22:43] _Apple_: no, as long as the driver is loaded and compiz is on you should be fine [22:43] TuxRacer_SV: is it the netbook remi? [22:44] yes Hilikus, it is! [22:44] soreau: okay...how do I go about that? (and how do I set it up so I don't have to do it every time I turn the computer on?) [22:44] :( [22:44] anybody know why i might get high pitched audio - im playing back an mp3, and there's a really high pitch, but i can hear the mp3 audio faintly in the background [22:44] joannethrax_: And there may be one other idea I have, lemme know what happens after you 'killall -9 nm-system-settings' and trying the connect commands again [22:44] killing nm-systemsettings I can do... [22:44] TuxRacer_SV: yes, just like me. it is stupid that the official method is with unetbootin but it doesn't suppor their own file [22:44] Saop__: I will only ask you one more time. Please do not PM me without first asking permission [22:44] <_Apple_> Bodsda, what about Avant Windows navigator? [22:44] TuxRacer_SV: i used a different program that does support img but it destroys the content of the pendrive first [22:45] Hilikus: do you know if there is another way installing using the .IMG file ?? [22:45] _Apple_: as far as I remember AWN requires compiz to be running, although I may be mistaked. But yes it works well with nvidia [22:45] TuxRacer_SV: do you mind formating your usb drive? [22:45] mistaken* [22:45] Hilikus: sure, no problem with that [22:46] TuxRacer_SV: ok, let me see if i can remember the name of the program [22:46] Hilikus: i can formating the pendrive [22:46] <_Apple_> Bodsda, I got an error when I tried running it [22:46] _Apple_: what error? [22:46] TuxRacer_SV: i got it [22:46] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromImgFiles [22:47] soreau: http://paste.ubuntu.com/220091/ [22:47] <_Apple_> Detected PCI ID for VGA: 01:00.0 0300: 10de:02e2 (rev a2) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) [22:47] <_Apple_> Checking for texture_from_pixmap: not present.

[22:47] _Apple_: you are not using compiz as your window manager or it is not running correctly, maybe a driver issue [22:48] <_Apple_> that's what I thought...alright thanks Bodsda [22:48] lw-dump-machine-accnt failed to read database [22:48] dft: if its a support question please address the whole channel with your question, if not, please talk in #ubuntu-offtopic [22:48] Bodsda: I wsa looking for the likewise chan but I can't recall it's name [22:49] soreau: the router lets me adjust a lot of things, but nothing that looks relevant: Network Name, SSID Broadcast (enabled), Wireless channel, Wireless security (disabled).=, Wireless Mode, DTIM Period, Maximum COnnection Rate, Advanced Mode (pbcc), power setting [22:49] joannethrax_: Yea, it's the same. Now as a last resort, try resetting ubuntu firewall rules with 'sudo iptables -F && sudo iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT && sudo iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT' then try to connect again [22:49] dft: ah, I am unsure then. Perhaps try a google [22:49] did that already [22:50] google, ubuntu forums [22:50] thanks a lot Hilikus, I will read and after try with [22:50] TuxRacer_SV: no problem. good luck. UNR is pretty cool [22:50] soreau: Looks pretty much the same :( [22:50] soreau: Do you suppose it's work power-cycling the router? [22:51] Hilikus: :) [22:51] (y) [22:51] joannethrax_: No idea at this point. It should just connect. Perhaps try to see if you can find some graphical client compatible with widow maker to connect [22:52] * Dekko wonders if someone here can help me with how to install Elementary OS theme on Ubuntu (http://www.elementary-project.com) [22:53] soreau: gnome and KDE things generally work fine under WindowMaker. Any suggestions/ [22:54] joannethrax_: nm-applet :p [22:54] soreau: I suppose at some point I should go see if I can connect to a network somewhere else, in case it is, as you suggested it might be, a router problem. [22:55] gksu "sh /cdrom/cdromupgrade" what does it mean? [22:55] soreau: an apt-cache search fails to find nm-applet [22:56] joannethrax_: You'd have to use apt-file to find files within packages [22:56] gksu "sh /cdrom/cdromupgrade" what does it mean? [22:56] hey, is there someway to check why my webcam just blinked, when not using it? [22:56] hi [22:57] what's the fastest way to upgrade a feisty -> jaunty system?

I was told I'd be okay moving my /usr to another partition, then mounting that partition as /usr... instead, now my system boots only to a terminal [22:58] sdfgsdgsd [22:58] xTheGoat121x, did you add /usr as a mount point correctly in /etc/fastab? [22:58] <||lukesky||> hi :) [22:58] /etc/fstab i mean [22:58] xTheGoat121x: is it actually mounted?

I want to start a Game (Civ4) on another screen. I mean, its fullscreen and i cant access my desktop anymore after starting. so i want to start it under the screen i access with alt + f8. [23:00] joannethrax_: Wow, you have quite a lot of AP's there ;) [23:00] installing network manager gnome is going to take a few minutes [23:00] <||lukesky||> dont know how to find it at google :/ [23:00] jdu, I'll double-check that. Does it ABSOLUTELY have to be by UUID? [23:00] xTheGoat121x, no [23:00] No...wqit...it's done [23:00] What's an AP? [23:00] elad tell me if that works plz [23:00] oh, Access point [23:00] joannethrax_: access point. Wireless base station. [23:00] xTheGoat121x, the UUID thing only really helps in some situations (eg if you add or move hds around) [23:00] Where does banshee put it's downloaded podcasts? [23:01] xTheGoat121x, or add even more partitions [23:01] <||lukesky||> edbian, ~/.banshee ? [23:01] cellofellow: thank you [23:01] ||lukesky||, you need to start another X session there [23:01] There're only 39 [23:01] ||lukesky||: No such file! [23:01] joannethrax_: where might you be that there are 39 APs? [23:01] <||lukesky||> jdu, yes ok, but how? any how2 ? [23:02] ||lukesky||, the simplest way would be to use startx. Go to tty1 and type "startx -- :1" [23:02] after you login ofcourse [23:02] <||lukesky||> ok hold on [23:02] <||lukesky||> as root?

This will achieve the same thing but requires that you have two different user accounts. [23:04] According to mount -l it is properly mounted [23:04] Hilikus: a script that will add the button :) [23:04] I tried to upgrade 8.10 to 9.04 by Alternate CD but upgrade dialog is not displayed, how I can fix this issue?

[23:05] twice, in fact [23:05] my tv card is /dev/video1 so not sure if that's causing problems [23:05] xTheGoat121x, what type of prompt do you have? busybox? does it say initramfs or something else? [23:05] joannethrax_: nm-applet should appear in your 'tray' [23:05] Hilikus: close button of course! [23:05] Hmm. I guess I'm trayless... [23:05] Khisanth: oooh. i thought it was a virus. hehe [23:05] jdu, it's my username@computername [23:06] Hilikus: although your part message seems to indicate that you are using xchat-gnome so that probably won't work ... [23:06] Hilikus, linux is generally very good against virus, seeing as most virus's are written for windows:p [23:06] Khisanth: no, it's not xchat-gnome [23:07] mickster04: it would also be more of a PITA to write for linux ... need to account for all the variations between distros! [23:07] anyone help me about upgrading process? [23:07] xTheGoat121x, sorry. I meant: if something goes wrong during booting, you could be left with a command line very early on (eg in the initramfs). [23:08] thanks a lot Khisanth [23:08] mbnoimi, upgrading proccess? [23:08] jdu, No, I don't believe it's that early [23:08] mickster04: I tried to upgrade 8.10 to 9.04 by Alternate CD but upgrade dialog is not displayed, how I can fix this issue? [23:08] If I have 8 hard drives what is the default partitioning layout ? [23:08] hmmm... [23:09] have u tried runnoing it manually? [23:09] mickster04: I read http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading#Upgrading%20Using%20the%20Alternate%20CD/DVD carefully [23:09] xTheGoat121x, I would double check that your fstab is correct and that /usr is associated with the correct device. Beyond that I can't help. [23:09] niceuser: one drive for root and 7 drives for pr0n :) [23:09] mickster04: I tried gksu "sh /cdrom/cdromupgrade" [23:09] mb_again_, ok, well if that doesnt help you....i certainly cant [23:09] jdu, thanks, I appreciate it [23:10] I'm running 9.04 with the latest updates, but I notice the NVidia drivers are on 180.44, and an application I want to run crashes on those, but its fixed in the 180.60 or above. Is there an easy way to update to the >=180.60 drivers? [23:10] Hilikus: that will also need libgtk2-perl to work [23:10] Khisanth: got it [23:10] mbnoimi, pop the CD in and run these commands. sudo apt-cdrom add; sudo aptitude update; sudo aptitude dist-upgrade === d is now known as Guest22662 [23:10] ubersoldat: that isn't default.. Will it just install on one drive or make a big volume for all of them? like centos does on default [23:10] mickster04: can you explain to me what gksu "sh /cdrom/cdromupgrade" mean? [23:11] mickster04: does cdromupgrade a directory? [23:11] mbnoimi, aah it may not be called that [23:11] with the cd in there go to /media [23:11] soreau: I'm installing the "ubuntu desktop" package...this ought to allow me to use a gnome setting and see if that helps. [23:12] mbnoimi, from the looks of it, it tries to run a script (/cdrom/cdromupgrade) which is on the CDROM (as root) [23:12] niceuser: it depends on if you use LVM or not [23:12] mickster04: humm I'll try now [23:12] if i do, in the command line, something like: xinput set-something "Configured Mouse" , is this change sticky? Or do i have to set it to run every time I login? [23:12] niceuser: I don't like LVM though [23:12] mbnoimi, that call may not work as it may be sh /media/cdrom/cdromupgrade [23:13] joannethrax_: Yea, I think that might pull in gnome itself too. Hope the best to you, I will be back later [23:13] mbnoimi, have a look for the cdrom itself [23:13] if I use LVM to make one big volume and one of my hard drives fails do I just lose the data on that drive or the whole server wont boot up? [23:13] I need something like Media Player Classic for Ubuntu. I want to be able to see nothing but the movie on the screen (not full-screen). [23:13] unop: it's a way for updrading from Alternate CD [23:14] what is the default music player with ubuntu?? [23:14] mickster04, /cdrom is a symlink. $ readlink -f /cdrom [23:14] soreau: thank you for your help [23:14] unop so it wouldnt matter then...:/ [23:14] redrebel, rhythmbox [23:14] unop shame....

[23:17] it says its installed but I cant access it via the menu [23:17] I dont like the fact that rhythmbox uses mono [23:17] Thanks. [23:17] what do I need to do to fix it [23:17] Where can i find Ubuntu 9.04 optimization tips or Ubuntu in general? Want to disable unnessary services & daemons. [23:17] !tab [23:17] You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [23:17] rythmbox is not that good. try banshee [23:17] can someone answer a really easy HAL question [23:17] if i do, in the command line, something like: xinput set-something "Configured Mouse" , is this change sticky? Or do i have to set it to run every time I login? [23:17] PsYcHoTiC_MaDmAn, you need to re-create menu [23:18] how do I do that [23:18] or if you want really good try amarok2 [23:18] DarkMage26: working [23:18] PsYcHoTiC_MaDmAn, google: gnome reset menu [23:18] but [23:18] psychotic_madman, if you're using compiz-fusion, you can use the place window tool [23:18] elad did you get the surround sound thing sorted [23:18] * greg thinks "probably more of a question for ##linux..." [23:20] koro, i'd think you'd need to run the command every time - but why not try it out? [23:20] jm2k: I also use 'nmap -p 1-65535 localhost' if something is open, I google it if I don't know it, then disable it. You can also use 'sudo netstat -tulp' to find all listening processes.

Are those all bash commands? [23:33] Apollo2366: however i'd restart the dhcp server after clearing all leases [23:33] Apollo2366: then i'd re-obtain leases on the two boxes [23:33] man this is exciting [23:33] i love being here [23:34] CopyWriter, ??

[23:40] mickster04: I looked for "upgrade" keyword in whole image but I got nothing [23:40] I have a connection to the internet, ping fails, and i cannot access the internet [23:40] Apollo2366: nah that'd just look for new leases. it probably just forgets all the leases when you cycle the power [23:40] most consumer routers do [23:40] Hackboy: try dhclient [23:40] Lo_Pan, so just power cycle the router? And that should do it? [23:41] Apollo2366: well i'm guessing its a problem with the dhcp server, so it might fix it [23:41] needs superuser priveledges [23:41] mbnoimi, ok then well i dunno how to install from disk [23:41] how do i add the favorites menu to the "gnome main menu" on my desktop, like in the netbook remix? [23:41] Lo_Pan, Ok, I'll be back on in a bit. [23:42] mbnoimi, altho i believe u should be a ble to update manually... [23:42] Apollo2366: if the machines arent connected directly to the router then you may need to unplug/replug them once the router comes back up [23:42] mickster04: actually this is disaster !!!! thanks for help [23:42] mickster04: I thought that upgrading process is easy but I shocked [23:42] mbnoimi, sorry [23:42] mickster04: manually! how? [23:42] no access [23:42] could anyone tell me how to connect an ubuntu box to another ubuntu box thru VPN? [23:43] Lo_Pan, actually I just noticed something. The router says the windows machine's IP is 192.168.1.101, but the computer itself thinks its IP is 192.168.1.100 [23:43] Apollo2366: yeah, cycle the power on it [23:43] calwig: try OpenVPN. there's a howto page that tells you everything you need to know, but it's a bit convoluted imho [23:43] Lo_Pan, Mkay back in a bit. [23:43] just informationally; can I compile a kernel and ad gnome to it and the ubutu repos in virtual box? [23:43] while its coming back up double check everything is using dhcp [23:43] i've been out of Linux for awhile, what do you guys suggest for a media player lately? [23:43] where does appearance preferences store the config value, whether or not to start compiz? [23:44] Lo_Pan, ok [23:44] barbarian05: i use vlc [23:44] can some tell me why would i get this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/220118/ after installing xorg than using command Xorg -configure? [23:44] hackboy: are you on said machine? I need information re: your network setup. connected directly to modem? router? shared connection with another computer? [23:44] how do i add the favorites menu to the "gnome main menu" on my desktop, like in the netbook remix? [23:44] barbarian: vlc for movies, and I like amarok for music. [23:45] humbolt: you could add it to your startup scripts. compiz --replace does it for me. [23:45] can anyone help me get started trouble shooting why a fresh install of 9.04 locks up? [23:45] Pirate_Hunter: whatever that psb module is, it needs to be upgraded to match the xserver ABI version [23:45] Chapso: convoluted as in too many steps? [23:46] Does Amarok still install a bunch of KDE stuff? [23:46] could anyone help me? [23:46] jerknextdoor: my first solution to that kind of problem is to try reinstalling again. any exotic hardware? [23:46] I have fstab [23:46] did i miss anything my connect got reset [23:46] ext3 relatime,errors=remount-ro acl 0 1 [23:46] barbarian05: given its for kde, i'd say it probably does [23:46] connection [23:46] jerknextdoor: can you make it lock up? or is it random? [23:46] is that correct for the acl rules mounting? [23:46] Chapso: It worked for me out of the box. But now that I tried to disable and enable it with the appearance preferences, it does not start anymore. So I want to erase the config entry that appearance prefs app has set somewhere. [23:47] calwig: not neccessarily, just a lot of information that you might not need for what you're doing. it basically has how to do any common vpn setup all on one page, which makes it hard to find the specific information for your solution. [23:47] Chapso: nope, i just formatted an 8.10 install that i had running mostly fine for the last year. thinkpad r51 nothing crazy. [23:47] barbarian: yes. it's a kde program, and relies on a lot of libraries. worth it to me, though. [23:47] DarkMage26: I can't make it lock up. but it's the same symptoms everytime. [23:47] I Could Just do a Fresh Install of Ubuntu 9.4 [23:47] jerknextdoor: what are the symptoms? [23:48] hackboy: can I get network info from you? I need to know how you're connected. [23:48] humbolt: have you tried that command I sent? tell me if that works for you. [23:49] Hey, When I try to burn an Audio CD in brasero it seems to get stuck on "Normalizing tracks".. can I skip this part somehow? [23:49] Chapso: sure it works, this is not my concern. [23:49] Chapso: over Wifi router [23:49] Chapso: i see ok thx, ill have a glance, i just need to connect ubuntu to ubuntu simply to i can do some remote management but not necessarily thru port 22, instead directly thru the ip address [23:49] jerknextdoor: then yeah, try installing again. you shouldn't lose anything from that. in the future, I suggest backing up configs and /home for new installs. helps me out, don't know if you did that. [23:49] Chapso: I am just going to do a Fresh Install [23:49] DarkMage26: thinkpads have two sets of mouse buttons. the regular ones quit working about a month ago (hardware problem). so in 8.10 if i restarted they wouldnt work unless i restarted X after i logged in. with ctrl+alt+backspace being disabled in 9.04 this is slightly more difficult to restart X. so when i alt+F1 or alt+F2 it will lock up about half the time. [23:50] Chapso: i've got everything backed up. but cant keep it running long enough to transfer the stuff over. [23:50] hackboy: if you want to. overkill really. run dhclient as root and give me output. [23:50] and also my Headphones do not work, I Plug them in and get no sound I have a Gateway-T6345u Intel HDA Audio [23:50] Apollo2366: i'm just about to go through the subway, then head into work, so i'll be back in 15 minutes give or take [23:51] Chapso: gconf setting /apps/metacity/general/compositing_manager true [23:51] Chapso: that is what I was hunting for [23:51] DarkMage26: if it doesnt lock up then it will lock up after i restart X and open the terminal to start troubleshooting. [23:51] humbolt: glad you found it. [23:52] Chapso: lets see if that works [23:52] Oh I didn't know Amarok was on version 2. [23:52] Lo_Pan, it seems to have worked. Thanks for the help :) [23:52] This is gorgeous [23:52] Apollo2366_: no worries [23:53] barbarian: yeah, it's been 2 for a while now. It has its drawbacks. I don't like the middle pane, personally. [23:53] But overall a nice system. [23:54] 1.4 always felt a little clunky to me so this is a breath of fresh air [23:54] jerknextdoor: Check all of the connections on your hardware, and see if that helps. could be an overheating issue, I had that happen once. bios shut down the system. [23:55] jerknextdoor: but if you didn't mess with any of that installing, then I doubt that would be the issue. [23:55] progre55: Do your windows even have borders? [23:55] hi people! I had the hardest time getting my X up and running.. but only with the vesa driver. However, I cannot do anything, the windows do not even have the close button, no resize, no borders [23:56] Chapso: i was having a problem with 8.10 the last week before i wiped it restarting because of overheating. but my processor never got hot enough. it was a software issue because knoppix had no problems. [23:56] if I open more than two windows, it crashes [23:56] seems the windows-manager is too weak ) [23:56] can anyone suggest anything, please? [23:56] progre55: Start 'metacity --replace' [23:57] soreau, oh, good idea :) let me try it.. [23:57] how do i add the favorites menu to the "gnome main menu" on my desktop, like in the netbook remix? [23:57] yep, worked =) [23:57] progre55: s/s// [23:57] and now, will it be the same when I restart?? [23:58] hbekel, pardon me? [23:59] progre55: it's called windowmanager [23:59] hbekel, so? [23:59] progre55: Probably not. If you can open gconf-editor, navigate to desktop>gnome>session>required_components>windowmanager and make sure it is set to metacity [23:59] progre55: so what? [23:59] ircclient 4 ubuntu with bnc? [23:59] :/
