[00:46] One thing is frustrating to me. I want to scp a file from one computer in my network to another. Now, the catch is you have to be root to have permissions for the file. Therefore, I cannot simply say: scp me@server:/path/file ./ --- since I somehow have to 'su' to become root. Further, I have it configured so that direct root ssh is impossible. How can I do this? [00:46] dreamy, does the program fspot work for you, in slide show with the new driver? [00:47] serph: no idea.. im using vista on the lap that has the sis graphics card, im waiting for a linux release for the sis [00:47] dreamy oh, there isn't a linux version? [00:47] bucky: thanks, but I don't think that's it. / comes up just fine as read/write, then after running for a few hours (never the same amount of time) things start acting wonky and it gets remounted as read-only. [00:47] yes but not for the 672 fx [00:48] serp.. [00:48] and it's not just /, it does it to my /home partition as well [00:48] i see I have an older one [00:48] ok.. [00:49] hi [00:49] hi again [00:49] Can't play an audio cd in the CD-ROM drive. Audio is fine in Amarok when you play a .mp3 file, no problem with audio in Firefox such as playing a video. Put the same CD-ROM and audio cable in another box and no problem. Any thoughts? [00:49] donspaulding: ext3 ? [00:49] yup [00:50] On Ubuntu the upper bar icon that shows the network connections has an x and says no valid connections, yet I am connected. [00:51] Any idea? [00:51] on ubuntu sudo apt-get install wont install anything [00:51] TuxedoBond, how connceted? [00:51] donspaulding: is this with grub or grub2 ? [00:51] My router must also be restarted in order for Ubuntu to be recognised and given internet access. [00:51] tpirate5, what u trying to install? [00:51] gnome desktop [00:51] bucky: jaunty shipped with grub right? [00:51] Via ethernet cable to a router. [00:51] I don't think it's grub2 [00:51] yup [00:52] KDE Experts. Where can I toggle on Hidden in Dolphin? CTRL + H (from Gnome) does not work and I looked in "Configure Dolphin" too. [00:52] I suppose the X is just showing me that no wireless connections are active? [00:52] I still wonder why the router needs to be restarted to get a connection in Ubuntu, while Windows Xp has no problem. [00:52] / comes up just fine as read/write, then after running for a few hours, comes up as read only [00:53] mickster, any ideas? [00:53] TuxedoBond, i never have had that problem the x is for wireless and how long to u wait before restartin? [00:53] yeah, remounts read-only while still running, then a reboot gives the fsck failures. [00:53] anyone know how to start a new log file in the middle of a putty session? [00:54] donspaulding: unless someone else has any ideas it sounds like memory corruption to me [00:54] donspaulding: test your memory ? [00:54] mickster04: About five minutes or so. [00:54] bucky: I will, but it seems odd that suse would run just fine all this time. [00:55] hmm... [00:55] maybe memory corruption+newer kernel? [00:55] I didn't have this problem when I only had the gnome-core xorg, and GDM installed. [00:55] I feel like I'm hitting a corner case of bad code here.

I then tried the same operation, and now I get a remote host ID has changed error. Is this because Elmo's known_hosts file replaced Curly"s? [01:16] MrPiracy maybe you should look up the name of the switch online and see if theres any updates available.. or that it can be used with a nix box [01:16] nsadmin, yes i can, but it will be in 640x480 resolution, kinda hard to deal with [01:16] wheres n2?

[01:19] Does anyone know of a simple command line FTP client? I want something with no configuration file that I can use for programmatic tests of FTP. Just to run on localhost. [01:19] that would be somethign to try... so what I want you to do once you're booted into your ubuntu, is first to come here, then to rewrite your partition table, finally test to see if ubuntu installer sees the partitions after that (don't try rewriting in dos/win/macos) [01:19] well thats too wide?

[01:22] mickster04, desktop [01:22] n2diy: bit hard to tell. It seems likely you overwrote known_hosts, but I'm not sure if that should be giving you this error, depending on what's in the files and how you're ssh-ing. [01:22] well i dunno then mrPiracy.. maybe the one you have doesn't work with nix only way to see is google the name of the brand and see if they have a site and look for the product you have and see if it will work for nix machines [01:23] here4thegear: actually, I was using the machines ip address. [01:23] it's not in synaptic package manager, even though it's available to install from apt-get [01:23] n2diy: if I get those and know the id was supposed to change I just remove the offending line from known_hosts by hand.

[01:23] rogue_king, hmm...well i wuold recomend gettin compiz fusion icon then using that to go thu settings and seeing if u can edit zoom things thereut that probly wont be the problem.... [01:23] rogue_king, what did u first install [01:24] mzz: well, the error message goes on to tell me to adid the new host key to known_host, and all will be well again. [01:24] mickster04, 9.04 [01:24] GhostWolf, i thought i'd just need to edit my config files and add moded resolutions i could choose from in the GUI [01:24] MrPiracy it doesn't matter if its your monitor you need to connect it to both computers and if its not compatible it won't work..

[02:02] frostbite7, some themes are invalid/badly done, try some others, or follow the instructions on the page you download them from [02:02] Condoulo: Are you sharing these same files with a MS Windows machine? [02:02] Which small Graphics2D-containing library can I add to sablewm java virtual machine? [02:02] Condoulo: you could try clicking Places->Connect to Server. Then, enter smb://x.x.x.x for the ip of the machine that has the share on it. [02:02] ^menace^, you need to use it with sudo [02:02] ^menace^, to save [02:03] usr13, yes. I'm trying to share the files between three different OS': Windows, Ubuntu, OS X [02:03] Condoulo: Not sure. Just use something like 'scp /path/to/file 192.168.1.102:/home/username' for instance [02:03] jrib: trouble is I'm not on either of them enough to remember which theme is which; n2diy: trouble is I ssh between them often, and have the prompt wired to set the window title to the ssh'ed to. I think what I'll do is just make wallpaper images consisting of the name repeated over and over again, like TV talking head backdrops [02:03] <^menace^> Socah, just exiting will save or should i type a command to save?

There were several phone packages on the web for free that worked ip to ip but I don't recall the names [02:08] rfm: it's probably a trivial thing to write if it doesn't exist, just take some hello wold example and change a line [02:08] gmap: you might look at ekiga and see if it allows that [02:08] barqers, what's 'ls -ld /var' say? [02:08] k thx [02:08] dhiren: did you try the temporary workaround in the most recent link i pasted? [02:08] zenlunatic: drwxr-xr-x 16 root root 4096 2009-07-16 20:32 /var [02:08] dhiren: this seems to be a recent bug. [02:09] barqers, what about /var/www ? [02:10] zenlunatic: drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2009-07-16 21:06 /var/www. Also when I right click the 'inetpub' directory under /var/www and view properties, it says I am not the owner and cannot change permissions on it [02:11] wat was the themp workaround? [02:11] dhiren: definitely a recent problem. i'm seeing many pages of people complaining about this. [02:11] all pretty recent [02:11] prince_jammys, so theres no way to fix it? [02:12] barqers, who is the owner? [02:12] zenlunatic: It wouldn't let me move my directory there to begin with, so I did, 'sudo cp -r /home/barqers/Desktop/inetpub /var/www' [02:12] zenlunatic: I am the owner of this computer, only 1 account on it. Mine/ [02:12] barqers, assume you're using apache? [02:13] dhiren: From the page (only for the "totem" player): "Workaround to get it working: open gstreamer-properties. Then, Video tab, Default Output section. Change the Plugin from "Autodetect" to "X Window System (No Xv)" and close. This way, totem will play any video format, but the other players still not working." [02:13] barqers, well technically there are several non-human users :D [02:13] th0r: I can't see the location of that file in the ssh_config.. [02:14] prince_jammys, alright thanks [02:14] chrome_: give me a sec to check it out [02:14] dhiren: presumably you can start by typing "gstreamer-properties" in a terminal, and do the rest [02:14] dhiren: i don't have that installed here. [02:15] zenlunatic: Lol true. Yeah I setup Apache2 with asp support. I placed files in the /var/www directory, and tried http://localhost and got "It works!" but when I go to http://localhost/inetpub/index.html I get an error [02:15] okay whats totem [02:15] dhiren, video player [02:15] "movie player" in menu [02:15] can anyone please tell me. if someone were to physically local at the machine deleted some files. and then emptied the trash... i realize that one cannot get them back unless were to do serious recovery hit or miss if its be over written but i dont think it has . However... what if you just wanted to know "when" they were deleted. certainly there is a log or some place to find a time stamp for file deletion or even trash empty actions. please someone help [02:15] me if at all possible. [02:16] oh okay [02:16] dhiren, they're using generic names for noobs [02:16] chrome_: doh! that message comes from the server, so it is in sshd_config. The line you want is [02:16] Banner /etc/issue.net [02:16] prince_jammys, SUCCESS! [02:16] dhiren: good. [02:17] prince_jammys, too bad it skips a little [02:17] chrome_: you can either edit the default (issue.net) or create another file and put the filename in the config file [02:17] serious nobody knows? [02:17] th0r: thank you :) [02:17] dhiren: a little error message goes a long way. remember that! ;) [02:17] lol [02:17] dhiren: but there still should be a REAL solution, which i'm not finding. [02:17] prince_jammys, so you think they'll be working on this issue? [02:17] tj83_: the command you are looking for is 'history' [02:18] tj83_: but it might not have a timestampt [02:18] dhiren: they should be. many seem to have been affected, and i see no solution posted anywhere. [02:18] th0r, ok, but i am talking from say the GUI nautilus not the CLI [02:18] prince_jammys, ive been looking for 3 days man im going nuts [02:18] tj83_: I doubt that is logged anywhere [02:18] dhiren: this is the exact bug, i think: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/374258 [02:18] this individual is not as savy and was using my computer i find out i have ton of data missing... and i want proof [02:19] dhiren: it doesn't have to do with the video players. it has to do with the video driver. [02:19] tj83_: opening a terminal to find out what you want isn't too much to ask [02:19] yeah [02:19] barqers, you should try whats in that link second post [02:20] prince_jammys, sounds shitty [02:20] How do you do system maintenance like 'Defrag' with Ubuntu? [02:20] th0r, i use the CLI all the time... this person doesnt know the CLI. this was a point and click action done by a noob [02:20] Can someone please help me: I can connect my netbook via CAT-5 cable, but when trying to connect through wireless it wont.

[02:21] zenlunatic: Second post where? [02:21] dhiren: i doubt this will do anything, but you can try to re-configure the video by running this in a terminal, and then logging back in: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [02:21] barqers, i msged you [02:21] thanx [02:21] dhiren: but it shouldn't hurt. [02:22] do i gotta restart? [02:22] how would I open the SSH port.

[02:22] Condoulo, what do you mean exactly? change the listening port of sshd or specify the port your connecting to? [02:23] prince_jammys, should is restart now? [02:23] zenlunatic: Oh I totally didn't realize, thank you! haha :P [02:23] dhiren: yes. [02:23] dhiren: if anything improved, show up here and let us know.

[02:25] Amerigo: for one, learn your shell... it's an important and powerful tool, it's more powerful and expressive than any gui that exists now and many maintainance tasks can be done with the shell and a handful of tools alone. as far as defragging, mostly linux filesystems take care of themselves, but there are probably defraggers you can get.

I have an ATI soundcard and when I try to play audio, I do get extremely low quality muffled sound coming out of my box, but not from any speakers plugged into the audio jack [02:26] what's going on? :S [02:27] i want firefox-3.5 to be my default browser. but when I click html files from nautilus, it still opens in firefox 3.0. does someone know how to change this? [02:27] baz it is a linux and I know NOTHING about that system lol it is a EVEREX CLOUDBOOK [02:27] peepsalot: why not just uninstall firefox 3.0? [02:27] peepsalot, system preferences preferred applications select shiretoko [02:27] vicki: it sounds like you are using a driver for the pc speaker rather than your sound card [02:27] or maybe in addition to [02:27] (dft) wireless is setup right [02:27] nsadmin: yeah. That's what I was thinking. [02:28] bazhang, i've already done that. it didn't fix the problem [02:28] you could try alsaconf [02:28] vicki, because i need both, for testing [02:28] peepsalot, then right click on file choose properties-->open with [02:29] !ssh > Condoulo [02:29] Condoulo, please see my private message [02:29] bazhang can I connect to you through chat [02:29] Ok, I just installed Ubuntu on a new computer. The new computer goes through the boot sequence and Bios goes well. This is what I get after Ubuntu supposidly loads. http://www.glorystock.com/bootup.JPG [02:29] peepsalot: just out of curiousity, is firefox3.0 /usr/bin/firefox and 3.5 /usr/bin/firefox-3.5? Because if it is, you might want to rename them because programs like to open /usr/bin/firefox by default [02:29] Has anyone encountered this? [02:29] Any web programmers here? [02:29] Condoulo, that work out for you? [02:30] Stanley_: in tcl and postgres, yeah [02:30] vicki, yeah,that's how they are set up. I will prob try that. [02:30] mickster04, i think i almost have my resolution problem fixed [02:30] tj83_, ok, using my IP, I managed to actually do the command for copying from a local file to a remote location on the other PC. So I got the file I wanted copied over [02:30] :) [02:30] Where do I get alsaconf from? It's not in alsa-utils on this silly distro :S [02:30] Condoulo, sweet [02:30] peepsalot: there should be no need to mess with those files manually, you'll just confuse the package manager and then later it won't do what you expect. Try what bazhang said as that should work [02:31] nsadmin: I should of said web designer***\ [02:31] !alsa | vicki [02:31] vicki: 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).

[02:31] vicki: alsaconf is frowned upon by the devs [02:31] tj83_, still can't seem to copy from remote to local on this PC though. =/ weird. [02:31] peepsalot: really? What did you do exactly? [02:31] jrib: hmm? Really? I use it all the time. [02:31] Stanley_: I'm pretty much starting with css. [02:32] I moreorless understand the concepts and have been able to use css [02:32] nsadmin: Ahh okay... Just wondering about when you have a linked image and you want to change the colours of the dotts around them when you have a mouse-down on it, how do you do that?

[02:32] vicki: https://bugs.launchpad.net/alsa-utils/+bug/29597 [02:33] Condoulo, http://www.raiden.net/articles/howto_using_scp/ [02:33] Hi - I'm running Gnome desktop - If I wanted to checkout KDE Desktop - I just need to install Kubuntu Desktop correct ? ? [02:33] dpetrosky1, just be patient, we are websearching the issue [02:33] After Ubuntu Boots this is what my screen looks like http://www.glorystock.com/bootup.JPG [02:33] swayed: yes [02:33] jrib, well, that's great but i'm tired of right clicking. it doesn't remember my previous setting [02:33] Pici, Thanks - Thought so..... [02:33] dpetrosky1: just so you know... I interpret that as a repeat with no growth, no new information... I recommend you collect info into a file [02:33] peepsalot: read what ubottu said more closely. Hint: "Properties" [02:34] (bazhang) thanks.....can I connect to you in a seperate window instead of trying to catch a note here and there on this window? [02:34] jrib, alright, sorry. thanks for the help [02:34] the thing is you might have new information you're not coming across with [02:34] nsadmin?????? what? [02:34] dpetrosky1, seems the cloudbook is using Gos; did you install Ubuntu over that? [02:34] peepsalot: no need to apologize, glad it worked for you! [02:35] which part didn't you understand? with that, all I can do is repeat, and you'd have to interpret that the same way I did [02:35] bazhang no it came that way with the gOS and ubuntu already installed [02:35] dpetrosky1, Gos is not Ubuntu [02:36] Thanks guys [02:36] dpetrosky1, the version of Gos that everex uses is different from the stock Gos download; you may wish to try the Ubuntu Netbook Remix on that for support here [02:37] Im at a loss here..... I've never used a Linux based system and it is difficult to navigate this netbook [02:38] dpetrosky1: are you using ubuntu? [02:38] I do not know why it can connect wired and nt wireless, I put the right SSID & wepkey in and it sees it, just wont connect [02:38] dpetrosky1: look at the output of... ifconfig wlan0 [02:38] do you get an error or a paragraph [02:38] is the m6 ly rv100 iqual to the "radeon 7000" ? [02:39] how do I do iconfig on a linux nsadmin [02:39] jrib ubuntu is on the netbook [02:39] you type that into a terminal window [02:40] dpetrosky1, did you install Ubuntu over Gos? they are not the same [02:40] I've moved my /usr folder to another partition -- but my system only boots to a command line. Does /opt have to go on the partition with it? [02:40] xTheGoat121x, never heard of /opt even being on its own [02:41] zenlunatic, alright. Then I need to figure out what's going on here. [02:41] what does boot to cli have to do with it? [02:41] Anyone know a GM server??? [02:42] hi.is there a torrent for 8.04.3 ? [02:43] zenlunatic, well, since I moved my /usr to the new partition... the system won't go any farther than a command line. === jdu_ is now known as jdu [02:43] http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04.3/ ongolaBoy [02:43] bazhang ubuntu is in the system folder of this netbook [02:44] ongolaBoy, have you looked on TPB? [02:44] nsadmin, I have no idea where to get the ifconfig [02:44] * ongolaBoy is checking bazhang's link ; thanks [02:44] dpetrosky1, so you reinstalled with Ubuntu? over Gos? [02:44] mickster04: what do you mean by TPB ? [02:45] <^menace^> Socah, that didnt work, i was in nano, xorg file name was up the top of the screen to tell me that i was apparently in that file, but blank screen as if the file contained nothing [02:45] ongolaBoy, the pirate bay [02:45] dpetrosky1, the card in the everex is ath0 (in terminal type ifconfig) [02:45] xTheGoat121x, you probably need to tell it where to find /usr which is where X11 binarys are === Chapso is now known as Chaps [02:46] mickster04: no. i prefer to use official torrent first :) [02:46] hi [02:46] zenlunatic, I know it's mounting it properly, b/c once I login, I can access /usr [02:46] ah [02:46] bazhang so how did you find that info [02:46] ongolaBoy, well u may find one on there too [02:46] dpetrosky1, web search [02:47] hello guys, where can I configure my notification settings? [02:47] Joelito: for what app? [02:47] Anyone know a GM Server? [02:48] VCoolio: I'm looking something like this pic: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_rgO8m__aY7g/SXJH3xzoZMI/AAAAAAAABQk/wbot6Ak-Ec4/s400/notificaciones_jaunty.jpg [02:48] LaCorde: GM? [02:48] no [02:49] xTheGoat121x, just a shot, there are files in /usr correct? [02:49] you know a GM Server? [02:49] LaCorde, what is a gm server [02:49] yeah what is it [02:49] how do i enable public_html with Jaunty Ubuntu? [02:49] Anyone familiar w/ routing on linux? Basically what I am trying to accomplish is to use a laptop as a router. It pulls the wlan0 connection, forwards it to eth0 and then my desktop picks it up. Problem is that it only resolves on SOME websites [02:49] LaCorde, does this relate to Ubuntu? [02:49] zenlunatic, alas, yes, there are. [02:49] GM Server(privat server) [02:50] I'm thinking that permissions may not be set properly.... but I'm not sure [02:50] you can make that all what can make a GM [02:50] xTheGoat121x, how did you move it? [02:50] LaCorde, how does relate to Ubuntu [02:50] zenlunatic, sudo nautilus -- every other method I used didn't work [02:50] LaCorde: you looking for a provider? you can probably find lots on google [02:50] wait you copied and pasted in nautilus? [02:51] On goggle can i find lots of GM servers for TMW oO? [02:51] zenlunatic, yes, but I made sure that it mounts in the proper location, I compared sizes and file counts, etc [02:52] xTheGoat121x: did you specify the location of /usr in /etc/fstab? [02:52] I thought you wanted a general server... well I'm dropping this now, it has nothing really to do with ubuntu [02:52] LaCorde, please take chat to #ubuntu-offtopic if you don't have a Ubuntu support question [02:52] I am running some programs that crash on me [02:52] prince_jammys, yes [02:52] xTheGoat121x: ah, so it's mounted already. [02:52] ok, so I've some hard drives and they are mounted in removable drives, and they where sitting on the computer, on top, and a women at work droped them off, then sort of slamdded them down, and drop them again. How can I test for bad sectors, or do I need to ? [02:52] where do i find out why? [02:52] logs? [02:52] JoshuaP0x, what apps [02:52] xTheGoat121x: are you able to run a program like 'nano' from the command line? [02:53] prince_jammys, yes. [02:53] xTheGoat121x, wow that was ballsy [02:53] so what's going wrong? [02:53] LOL OKay [02:53] start the apps from the shell, get them to crash, read what it says on the shell you started it from [02:53] bazhang: enemy-territory [02:53] bazhang: for one [02:53] bazhang: chess [02:53] harem,cute [02:53] can you read this ? [02:53] Hi I was just wondering if anyone can tell me why my eth connection keeps going up one number everytime I connect the cable? [02:53] bazhang: Network Name (ESSID) = Linksys-G; Password Type = Wep Key (hexadecimal); Network Password = **********; Configuration = Automatic configuration (DHCP)...... and it will not connect still [02:53] Hi, whats the default path for finding libraries installed on teh system? [02:53] hy [02:53] <^menace^> brad1, did you google, i think theres lots of software for that about, i never have done it but...... [02:53] bazhang: any idea? [02:53] is there a way to show whether a package came from, say, jaunty, jaunty-updates, jaunty-proposed, etc.? [02:54] PC_Nerd101 look at /etc/ld.so.comf [02:54] JoshuaP0x, with that paucity of info, no; were you running fullscreen with compiz enabled? [02:54] first do I really need to test? [02:54] Anyone know why I get this error: E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? [02:54] ok thanks [02:54] barqers, close other instances of apt [02:54] prince_jammys, the computer seems to start normally until I get "...fail!" and then it drops to a command line login [02:54] kenyon: it tells you the repo in synaptic, right click and choose properties [02:55] barqers: also say exactly what you're doing [02:55] Joelito: that's the old style notifications; Jaunty uses new, black. Not configurable. It seems you can use old style by installing gnome-stracciatella-session and selecting that in your login screen. [02:55] th0r: ah, know of a way to get that on command line? [02:55] bazhang: I'm new to *nux. I was running full screen, not sure about the compiz enabled part [02:55] I'm having USB Issues i'm getting this: [80109.944053] usb 1-4: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 9 [02:55] [80110.023174] hub 1-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 4 [02:55] , someone recommended me having ehci_hcd load before uhci_hcd how would i go about this? [02:55] bazhang: how do i check [02:55] kenyon: apt-cache madison package_name [02:55] bazhang: and should i have it enabled? [02:55] bazhang: or no [02:56] VCoolio: colors understand, but how about position..can't change that too? [02:56] ok - I've checked that /usr/local/lib is in the ld.so.conf (one of its included files), however my library (which I've checked the name) still cannot be found ( "libMagickCore.so.2" - symlink to the real one) any suggestions? [02:56] <^menace^> bradl, ive never bothered about doing that much as i said, i had a problem years ago and did and proved the drive faulty, depends how vital your imfo is i suppose, a drop with either break them or not break them,,,, but just cause they broken doesnt mean they wont still function to start [02:56] JoshuaP0x, try disabling compiz; alt f2 metacity --replace and try the game in full screen again [02:56] kenyon: that's right, "madison". [02:56] I've got Windows 7 on a second drive and I cannot get the grub menu to boot to it. I have it all setup but I cannot figure out how to tell which HDD number it is [02:56] what do I use? [02:56] bazhang: what do you mean alt f2 metacity [02:56] (bazhang) you get my last message with the wireless settings? [02:56] prince_jammys: ahh that's right, thanks! [02:56] bazhang: nm [02:56] brb [02:57] dpetrosky1, do you have access to the router? try turning off encryption just to test [02:57] jstarcher, grub uses the bios locations iirc [02:57] i dont found the server? [02:57] bazhang: so I typed in metacity and pressed enter, the box went away [02:57] dpetrosky1: did you say before you got this machine with ubuntu on it? [02:57] JoshuaP0x, alt f2 metacity --replace [02:57] nsadmin yes it was preinstalled [02:57] JoshuaP0x, not only metacity [02:57] need help, "battery state could not be read at this time", nor Power status not changing when switching from Battery to AC power, any idea? [02:57] gotcha [02:57] kenyon: welcome. [02:57] I'm using Ubuntu 9.04/Jaunty [02:57] so, then do you want ubuntu? [02:58] bazhang: screen blinked a few times then went away [02:58] /help [02:58] Joelito: not that i know of [02:58] I have no idea what ubuntu is nsadmin lol [02:58] JoshuaP0x, now try game again [02:58] kazza_, ask a question [02:58] where would i find user logs? like when the trash was emptied or a file was deleted and then trash emptied? [02:58] well that's why I'm asking [02:58] Hi I was just wondering if anyone can tell me why my eth connection keeps going up one number everytime I connect the cable? [02:58] SeaPhor, those kinds of things are not logged [02:58] SeaPhor: i don't think either of those operations are recorded. [02:58] zen0, how do I figure the partition number? [02:58] SeaPhor, not by default anyway [02:58] nsadmin, its not Ubuntu it's Gos [02:59] what's gos? [02:59] briefly :P [02:59] Good OS was too google for me [02:59] VCoolio: ok, thanks =) [02:59] gOS is Good Operatin System [02:59] gOS http://www.thinkgos.com [02:59] anyone aware of a good ipod nano video converter? [02:59] ok, Thanks usser and prince_jammys - prolly right but still looking,,, thanks again for the reply [03:00] ok... so is it debian-based? is it linux at all? [03:00] (nsadmin) the wlan0 properties does not display the ip sub or gateway address but it sees the router [03:00] nsadmin: http://www.thinkgos.com/index.html [03:00] yeah its linu [03:00] x [03:01] nsadmin it says it is a linux system [03:01] Basically ubutu knockoff with tons of prism apps for google. === Pici` is now known as Pici [03:01] ne1 using dwl-g510 (marvell chipset) successfully on ubuntu 8.1 with WPA-PSK TKIP? [03:02] DELL or Toshiba? [03:02] usser and prince_jammys so there's no recycle/trash logs? even if done as sudo -i? [03:03] jigp, you asking me? [03:03] which one is nice for ubuntu? [03:03] oh [03:03] stegel : which one is best for ubuntu?DELL or Toshiba? [03:03] bazhang: Chess is not working === pauljw_vm is now known as pauljw === prince_j1mmys is now known as prince_jammys [03:03] oh yeah and google gadgets as well in good os. [03:03] stegel : DELL with builtin camera / Toshiba with builtin camera? which one? [03:03] JoshuaP0x, which chess game [03:03] way to much google. [03:03] http://gosforums.org/viewforum.php?f=21&sid=b962b4daa04030ac3587b5e116cf36d7 [03:03] i am not familiar with either [03:04] (nsadmin) I figured out the terminal window and typed in ifconfig............what do you need off of that [03:04] if you don't find out here, look there [03:04] need help, "battery state could not be read at this time", nor Power status not changing when switching from Battery to AC power, any idea? [03:04] I'm using Ubuntu 9.04/Jaunty [03:04] bazhang: IDK, it just says chess [03:04] can anyone tell me what a good app is to have to tell me weather on my desktop and also a forecast??? [03:04] dpetrosky1: whether it's a paragraph or an error message [03:04] JoshuaP0x, 3D, or other, there are tons of chess games [03:05] <_Apple_> can I get some help with getting my second display to run at another resolution? I've tried just about everything I can think of and find any more suggestions [03:05] (nsadmin) there is a long paragraph(s) [03:05] bazhang: I look under applications, games, then it says Chess [03:05] bazhang: that's all i know [03:05] patrin, right click the panel and choose "add" [03:05] ok, so the wireless driver is there [03:05] patrin: there's a panel applet that does that. there's also a conky script that does that, if you have conky. [03:05] patrin, weather report is at the bottom, config it to your location [03:05] JoshuaP0x, you say not working is kind of vague; it does not launch, it freezes, or what [03:06] zenlunatic i've tried that but its only for the current time [03:06] dpetrosky1, install Netbook Remix on that and then you can be fully supported; Gos is not supported here [03:06] prince_jammys i dont i have ubuntu 9.04 [03:06] (nsadmin) yes I suppose wlan0 with a paragraph attached with it [03:06] patrin, they have a forecast tab [03:06] bazhang: sorry, don't mean to be. a window pops up for less than a second, I think it's blank, then goes away [03:07] bazhang: the link I pasted a moment ago will take him to the gos network question forum [03:07] zenlunatic they dont have forcast, general and location [03:07] JoshuaP0x, compiz still off? this is jaunty correct? let me try [03:07] (bazhang) where do I install that from? [03:07] I can not get Ubuntu to work on a new computer. Any thoughts. The Boot up to Ubuntu where the little light goes from left to right works then when it finishes there is crap on my screen [03:07] nsadmin, I think he does not know the difference between ubuntu and ubuntu-based [03:07] could it be the motherboard is incompatable? [03:07] bazhang: still off. and yes, jaunty. [03:07] dpetrosky1, let me get you a link [03:07] oh, so gos is based on ubuntu? [03:08] I do not know the difference at all....you are right bazhang [03:08] FLJohn: Notebook or desktop? [03:09] I am so clueless on this Linux system....... not at all like a WindowsOS [03:09] <_Apple_> can I get some help with getting my second display to run at another resolution? I've tried just about everything I can think of and find any more suggestions [03:09] dpetrosky1: see that's why I asked you earlier [03:09] do you want ubuntu, and [03:09] do you want any linux? [03:10] divkladek: Desktop PcChips Motherboard [03:10] maybe right now the answer is "I don't know, so no" and you can revisit that decision any time you want [03:10] does anyone know a good program i can use on my panel for weather and forecasts [03:11] (nsadmin) is ubuntu another type of OS? I have no clue on that [03:11] yes it is [03:11] yes is linux distro [03:11] divkladek: I can not see anything on the screen, but I can type the name and password and it loads. [03:11] better that windows [03:11] apparantly ubuntu is close to gos... but not close enough to motivate either to answer questions about the other [03:11] Is it just loading as command-line (black screen, gray text, no interface)? [03:11] <^menace^> anybody use ubuntu studio? [03:12] no really [03:12] hush: that's subjective and is up to him [03:12] divkladek: I took a picture of the screen here it is. http://www.glorystock.com/bootup.JPG [03:12] ubuntu is a evolutio in the linux world ... u need to try to see the different [03:13] OHAI! [03:13] (nsadmin) I cannot answer that question; Ubuntu or Linux? I just got this netbook, thinking it was windowOS based but it is not......never used Linux or...Ubuntu? [03:13] !ot [03:13] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [03:13] ^menace^: ubuntu studio has an irc channel: #ubuntustudio [03:13] if you force him into it, then he doesn't make the decision. if he doesn't make the decision, are you goign to support him? [03:13] oops..... forgot the /amsg would go in here, sorry [03:13] Can anyone point me towards the key for Gnome Do [03:13] <^menace^> prince/bot, sorry, will do that [03:13] he doesn't even know what it is [03:14] and so far he hasn't told us if he wants to [03:14] Blizzerand: is that the program launcher? if so, alt+F2 [03:14] that is sad we have to start make comercial like ms jajaja [03:14] divkladek: I am downloaded 8.04 32 bit to see if that was the problem. I took the hard drive out and threw it in this computer and it botted fine. [03:15] dpetrosky1, could you paste a screenshot of your desktop? seems some of the cloudbooks had a hardy installation on them [03:15] if he wants to, then he's motivated to help himself at least to the degree he can [03:15] can somebody tell me whats wrong with this....i'm trying to install ubuntu desktop and i keep getting this error: [03:15] Processing archive: C:\ubuntu\install\installation.iso [03:15] !imagebin | dpetrosky1 use this [03:15] dpetrosky1 use this: Screenshots can be made with the [PrtScr] button. Want to show us a screenshot of your problem? Upload an image to http://tinyurl.com/imagebin and post a link to it. [03:15] Error: C:\ubuntu\install\installation.iso is not supported archive [03:15] FLJohn: Are you trying 9.04 now? [03:15] bazhang: any ideas? [03:15] divkladek: no. I am running 8.04. 9.04 did not impress me [03:15] djmetal: you're trying to burn a cd? [03:15] (bazhang) no I cannot..... I am on my other computer talking to you guys here [03:15] prince_jammys : heh . Sorry but I am referring to the public key for the launcher for gnome do [03:15] no i'm trying to install ubuntu [03:16] Blizzerand: ah, i misunderstood you completely ;) [03:16] djmetal, do you know what an iso is? [03:16] user 06 [03:16] dpetrosky1: what do you want to use the computer for? [03:16] JoshuaP0x, works fine here, not sure but to suggest installing some of the other chess apps in the repos [03:16] prince_jammys : Ah ! [03:16] yes i do. i burned the cd from the iso i downloaded from ubuntu [03:16] how can i force a resolution from the terminal?? [03:16] (nsadmin) for surfing the web while I am gone from home.....wirelessly of course [03:16] dj is you computer set to boot from CDrom first? [03:17] ya [03:17] djmetal: did you burn it as an image or as files? [03:17] bazhang: I was hoping for some help tshooting my problem that seems to be bigger than just the one game [03:17] files [03:17] FLJohn: If another HDD functioned correctly in the same machine, I doubt it is a mobo incompatibility; Are you dual-booting or installing Ubuntu as your primary platform? Are you installing from a Live CD? [03:17] dpetrosky1: so it doesn't matter to you what os you use as long as you can do that much? [03:17] djmetal: make sure you burn it as a disk image, and then boot to it. [03:17] mas punya cardride??? [03:17] right [03:18] divkladek: let me say it a little clearer. I took the HDD out of the computer I am trying to get working and popped it into This one that I am already running ubuntu on and it worked great. [03:18] JoshuaP0x, well then you need to give more info; just games not working is not enough imo; is it video card probs? or something other--try some other games and see if the problem is at least consistent [03:18] djmetal, you know you have to reboot and then boot up from the cd? you can't open the iso in windows and intall inside windows [03:18] So does any one know where I can find the public key for Gnome-do [03:18] Ah. [03:18] that was easy. now we know what he wants [03:18] then whats that windows installer for? [03:18] Blizzerand, google it [03:18] anyone aware of a good ipod nano video converter? [03:19] I've never heard of a mobo incompatibility with Ubuntu to be honest. I'm almost certain I remember that happening to me before, but I can't remember what my solution was. [03:19] billybigrigger, mp4? [03:19] divkladek: I did not take the Solid state Drive out of this computer and drop it in the New Build to see if it works. [03:19] bazhang: in windows, I would check the logs to see if there is a reason why the program crashed === sadie is now known as Guest91071 [03:19] bazhang: is there something like that in Ubuntu? [03:19] dpetrosky1, if you want to stay with gos, point web browser at: http://gosforums.org/viewforum.php?f=21&sid=b962b4daa04030ac3587b5e116cf36d7 [03:19] bazhang, ok, whats an easy to use video converter? its not for me, i'd do it through ffmpeg, but not really aware of what front-ends are availabe and commonly used [03:19] djmetal, i think there are select programs available for install as a courtesy,but its just apps, not ubuntu [03:19] Are you booting from a Live CD then? [03:20] JoshuaP0x, bazhang yes dmesg command or look in the System menu for the log viewer [03:20] bazhang, he's a newly converted ubuntu user so anything that is super simple would be the best :) [03:20] divkladek: let me give you the whole rundown. [03:20] well i'll reburn it and try again. [03:20] if you do that, you don't have to install a different os... but you can't ask questions here [03:20] need help, "battery state could not be read at this time", nor Power status not changing when switching from Battery to AC power, any idea? [03:20] I'm using Ubuntu 9.04/Jaunty [03:21] JoshuaP0x, system administration log file viewer as jdu says [03:21] djmetal, do you understand that you must reboot and boot off the cd? [03:21] jdu : That didn't help much but some how I installed it . Thanks [03:21] when i switch between dvorak and querty the arrow keys and window keys stops working. i use this command: 'setxkbmap -rules xorg -model pc105 -layout us'. maybe the problem is the keyboard model? I use dinovo edge. how to find the exact string for my keyboard? [03:21] yeah . i've used redhat before. i've just never had this many problems installing linux before. ubuntu is new to me [03:21] Thank you. [03:21] okay good luck [03:21] Blizzerand, gnome-do's website gives a link to a page that gives a command that will automatically get the key, I think [03:22] (nsadmin) this is where it told me to come for support..... [03:22] dpetrosky1, another choice you have is to install ubuntu, and you'll get help here from the start [03:22] Blizzerand, sorry, I'm glad it worked [03:22] dpetrosky1: it? what's it? [03:22] divkladek: I did not have extra Sata Cables, so I took the New Drive that was going in the new build and dropped it into my older computer and downloaded Ubuntu 8.04 64Bit. then I took the CDrom Sata out of my computer and put it in the New computer then I installed the hard drive in it the new computer. I did not try to boot with the CD since I do not have enough Sata Cables Yet [03:23] dpetrosky1, you have ethernet on that box, why not boot it and give us a screenshot then [03:23] someone might want to pay attention here, and contact whoever it is to correct their support assumption if it's wrong [03:23] divkladek: CD rom Sata Cable , Not the rom drive [03:23] so all the files you get when you download 9.04 desktop. you just add those to an image file and then reboot and it should work? [03:23] billybigrigger, try Avidemux i think it will convert ipod vids (mp4) [03:24] djmetal, burn the iso to cd after doing md5 check then set in bios to boot from cd first [03:24] ctmjr, thanks [03:24] (nsadmin) it: is the support form on my computer [03:24] djmetal, also a good idea to burn slowly and do disk integrity check on cd once it is booted to [03:24] bazhang, md5 check.. do you really do these everytime you download something? [03:25] you'd think they'd just do it like everybody else and just let you download the actual premade iso lol [03:25] it ain't just "something" [03:25] test34, seeing as I don't dl iso's very often sure, it does not take long and iso's do sometimes get corrupted [03:25] (bazhang) what are you looking for exactly with the screen shot? I can tell you on here [03:26] ctmjr, you know a decent youtube video downloader/convert for ipod videos in linux/ubuntu? [03:26] dpetrosky1, whether it is Hardy or Gos with the customary e17 desktop and Google Dock at the bottom with facebook, blogger etc apps [03:26] <_Apple_> can I get some help with getting my second display to run at another resolution? I've tried just about everything I can think of and find any more suggestions [03:26] Hi, im using fail2ban and have enabled ssh however it is not blocking bad attempts, could anyone help? [03:26] how do you enable public_html on jaunty? [03:27] Ok Here is what I am going to do [03:27] bazhang: it should be an automated check.. like a rar archive (it doesnt work if it's corrupted) [03:27] mattgyver: It usually blocks after the second or third attempt. [03:27] Pici, i had someone try more than 8 times, however it did not block their login [03:27] Pici, it is blocking vsftp however [03:28] Pici, do you know if its normal for it to not retain the bans after a reboot? [03:28] mattgyver: From the same address? [03:28] I will turn this computer off and rip it apart and do a complete install of Ubuntu [03:28] from disk [03:28] test34, some cd burning apps have it ; if you just right click iso burn to disk not so sure though, I'm always cautious nonetheless (particularly if it's not a torrent from Ubuntu official sources) [03:28] Pici, yes [03:29] (bazhang) NO google dock at the bottom - -------- the taskbar has Ubuntu Symbol, Applications, Places, Systems, firefox and then your wireless icon, time&date & speaker icon [03:29] billybigrigger, there is a firefox add-on videodownload helper that can down load youtube vids and convert them also they have front ends for mencoder never used them cli is to easy [03:30] k [03:30] ill try mencoder for the front end [03:30] hi [03:30] How do I scroll in gedit without using the mouse? [03:30] mattgyver: The bans are timed, it removes them after a certain period. I can't find a document on my system for how that is calculated, but a search should find it. [03:31] Pici, yes its by seconds, i thought i had mine set for 2 weeks, however the bans lift after 2 restarts [03:31] how do you get the toshiba gigabeat mp3 player to work on ubuntu ? [03:32] I'm having an issue with postfix... I think it's a mysql issue... could someone look at this (it has some error logs and such) and tell me what they think? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1214432 [03:32] hi everybody! I subscribed today to a company that is offering WiMAX 4G here in Atlanta, Georgia. And BTW, I'm enjoying 5.44 Mbps WiMAX for $40 a month. You know, WiMAX, the technology we keep hearing about for the last three or four years and never materialized? That WiMAX. The problem is that they don't have linux or mac drivers for their USB devices. They use the Motorola USBw 100. I'm using their ethernet modem, so no drivers required. Could you guys poi [03:32] your message got cut off toter [03:32] it's too long [03:32] "Could you guys po" [03:33] (bazhang) I took a screenshot.png saved it on memory card....... how do I send it on here to you [03:33] i'm sorry [03:33] the rest is [03:33] Could you guys point me to the right place regarding who I should contact to write the drivers for these peripherals? Another question: Has anybody used WiMAX successfully on Linux? How's the progress with this technology on our beloved operating system? [03:33] toter_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[03:35] otter_: describe in greater detail what the problem is and what the device is, and someone might be able to help. also, search the ubuntu forums for your device; i'm sure it's mentioned. [03:35] (ubottu) thanks [03:36] (bazhang) http://imagebin.org/56190 [03:36] !mp3 [03:36] 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 [03:36] After moving /usr to another partition (actually another device), my system now only boots to a command prompt [03:36] jdu: i'm using a router... via ethernet... it's working fine. [03:37] xTheGoat121x: what happens when you do: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start ? [03:37] i swear this os. is very annoying to install........even burning it as an iso and telling it to boot from cd.......it doesnt do anything. just keeps loading windows [03:38] guys i need to force a resolution for my screen, i have 1280x800 i want it to be 1280x1024 but i cant get it higher... im on ubuntu with an intel gma x3100... any help?? [03:38] prince_jammys, I get a fail. [03:38] djmetal: either something is wrong with the cd, or you need to change your BIOS to tell it to try booting from CD before hard drive. [03:38] Can you take me higheeer [03:38] dpetrosky1, that looks like a modified version of hardy; could you type in the terminal of that cloudbook : lsb_release -a and tell us what it says the version number is [03:38] xTheGoat121x: specifically what is the error message? [03:38] i did change that. === sadie is now known as Guest9507 [03:39] djmetal, in my humble opinion, ubuntu's cd is one of the easiest of any distro. [03:39] djmetal: and you're positive that you burnt the CD as image and not as data files? [03:39] prince_jammys, I don't get verbose error messages [03:39] xTheGoat121x: just nothing happens? [03:39] i selected all the files from the download .rar file and put them in an image then burnt it.... [03:39] Hi Where is the best place to look at all my hardware on this laptop? [03:40] prince_jammys, it says "Starting GNOME Display Manager [fail] [03:40] " [03:40] Hi Where is the best place to look at all my hardware on this laptop? [03:40] jdu: but they have a usb dongle... i didn't subscribe to the other plan because they don't have linux or mac drivers [03:40] I'm having an issue with postfix... I think it's a mysql issue... could someone look at this (it has some error logs and such) and tell me what they think? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1214432 [03:40] Guest91857: lspci will show all hardware [03:40] xTheGoat121x: the file /var/log/Xorg.0.log might contain hints. [03:41] Guest9507, sudo lshw [03:41] toter_: what [03:41] toter_, unfortunately not by expertise. The people around here have been selling these white boxes that for some reason don't seem to want to connect directly to linux (or so I am told) [03:41] toter_: white boxes [03:42] zenlunatic: I think that's a possibility. CLEAR, the company that offers this service here in Atlanta, only has coverage, at least for now, in three cities: Atlanta (where I live), Portland (where Torvalds lives, I think) and Las Vegas [03:42] toter_: anything runs linux even tosters [03:42] xTheGoat121x, what happens if you type ls /usr [03:42] \lol [03:42] how do you get the mp3 player to work on ubuntu ? [03:42] My computer keeps restarting / hard locking. An investigation of the logs revealed "syslogd 1.5.0#5ubuntu3: restart" could anyone else let me know if they have that in their logs? [03:42] gogeta, I thought that was the slogan of netbsd... [03:42] I installed ubuntu 9.04 on my laptop. The keyboard and mouse works untill xwindows starts up. Then nothing works. So I cant login or nothin. WHat could cause this ? [03:43] has anyone had issues with transmission not downloading when the screensaver activates? [03:43] zenlunatic: maybe i should e-mail him [03:43] i'm just going to download the dvd .iso. perhaps that will work better [03:43] can soembody point me to a good newbie guide for Ubuntu? [03:43] liek do they have any sort of lessons to get started?? [03:43] (bazhang) http://imagebin.org/56192 [03:43] dewey, define your use of 'xwindows' X is was is handling the mouse and keyboard, so they couldn't work before it starts up. [03:43] jdu: bsd is soo oblated by linux [03:44] http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/ Sinatra [03:44] is there a place for non-support related ubuntu discussion [03:44] is this it [03:44] Ok I am Back. I did not take this computer apart. I just put the New CD rom Drive in and rerouted the wires from the hardrive. I am attempting to run Ubuntu from Live CD [03:44] jdu, such a command gives me a list of the folders contained inside /usr [03:44] etoD: #ubuntu-offtopic [03:44] etoD: yep !ot [03:44] prince_jammys, nothing seems out of the ordinary in there. [03:44] Hey guys, got myself an nvidia problem :( [03:45] xTheGoat121x, of course, just making sure. Unless things did not get copied (perhaps important to X), then the move of /usr can't be a problem because it is obviously mounted [03:45] dpetrosky1, you have a wifi hotspot there? and you are associated with the ap? [03:45] just finished install of jaunty on this dell lappy - latitude d600 - has an ati radeon 9000 - but showing standard vga - anyway i get the ati video to work ? ? [03:45] xTheGoat121x: paste the output of this in the channel: grep /usr /etc/fstab [03:45] dpetrosky1, type iwconfig in the terminal and see [03:45] xTheGoat121x: should be just one line, i assume. [03:45] Hi everyone. I'm building a server based on SuperMicro hardware (so REAL server hardware). Booting with an 8.04 CD, and seeing, "No common CD-ROM drive was detected". CDROM drive is the only SATA device, the rest are SAS on a RAID controller. Loading ide-scsi doesn't help. Best place to look for help? [03:45] jdu, well, the fact that it booted fine before this. [03:46] xTheGoat121x, true. [03:46] I installed LinuxMint7 and got the associated nVidia drivers last night. All was well, my resolution is at 1600x1200. However, just now I booted my machine and for some reason I can't get a better resolution than 1024x768.... any ideas? [03:46] (bazhang) I am at my house and it is my wireless connection that I cannot connect to on that netbook [03:46] xTheGoat121x, do you have the original /usr still on the disk? [03:46] prince_jammys, no, several lines. If you want, I can just give you the line related to the new /usr partition [03:46] hi there [03:46] gogeta: oblate? As in, flattened at the ends? [03:46] jdu, yes. [03:46] so does any body know how to use a mp3 player on ubuntu [03:46] ? [03:46] ruge, you should seek support in Linux Mint channels or forums then [03:46] ruge: thats nice but this isnt mint7 chat [03:46] xTheGoat121x: yes, just paste that line. [03:46] !sound jaunty [03:46] Sorry, I don't know anything about sound jaunty [03:46] !mintsupport | ruge [03:46] ruge: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint on irc.spotchat.org [03:46] xTheGoat121x, you might test to make sure there is no difference between them. [03:46] ohh right, thanks! [03:46] Hey room, [03:46] Ok. The computer botted up from Live CD. [03:47] xTheGoat121x: the grep command up there will show you the line. [03:47] What is the appropriate way to "uninstall" an application in the .wine directory? [03:47] I will now have to take this computer down so I can use the sata cable to install it on the other computer [03:47] dpetrosky1, and does iwconfig show the ap [03:47] prince_jammys, /dev/sdb1 /usr auto relatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1 [03:47] be back [03:47] chiques: wine has a uninsteller look in the wine menu [03:47] does any body know how to get a mp3 player to work on ubuntu [03:47] hello i have a problem with atheros ar5009, the level is not in a good reception level (in windows work good) [03:48] gogeta, Thanks! [03:48] (bazhang) in the networks application? [03:48] paul_, which mp3 player [03:48] what is the best bittorrent client for ubuntu? anything comparable to uTorrent? [03:48] how do i get a toshiba gigabeat mp3 player to work on ubuntu [03:48] ? [03:49] zetanuxi transmission [03:49] zetanuxi, deluge, ktorrent, transmission [03:49] is not a mp3 player is a chipset for wireless [03:49] dpetrosky1, in terminal, where you typed lsb_release -a ----> iwconfig [03:49] zetanuxi: opera web brwser has a good built in client [03:49] paul_, sorry wrong person [03:49] transmission is the best torrent client ever ! [03:49] otter_: no [03:49] yes there is a paragraph listed with iwconfig [03:50] then what is [03:50] vuse [03:50] lol [03:50] vuze [03:50] lol [03:50] i use operas built in one [03:50] tried vuse and i think it is hard to use [03:50] dpetrosky1, and does it show your wifi [03:51] hi [03:51] but frost wire on ubuntu is very hard ! [03:51] xTheGoat121x: pretty baffling. [03:51] no [03:51] i use frostwire === jengc0il1 is now known as jengc0il [03:52] ever time i download something on frost wire i get a windows exe file [03:52] i have installed jaunty on a Dell Optiplex 320, but when restarting i get a black screen after the grub, i tried a lot of things but none worked, can someone help ? [03:52] maxagaz, how long does the blank screen stay? [03:53] jdu, for ever [03:53] xTheGoat121x: can I try? [03:53] does the dell laptop use a oem type of bootable cd [03:53] losher, [03:53] go ahead, losher [03:53] xTheGoat121x: check whether any lines in Xorg.0.log have "EE" (error) [03:53] jdu when my laptop boots up to the login screen nothing works but if i boot into console mode it does. what would cause this ? [03:53] maxagaz, there is a video buffer setting in the BIOS that can be increased from 1mb to 8mb to help solve that kind of problem when I've had that problem on an optiplex, but in my case, it didn't stay forever [03:54] would anyone like to help me try to get sound working on this laptop? [03:54] prince_jammys, there were a few lines, sure, but they didn't seem bad enough to stop a boot [03:54] (bazhang) http://imagebin.org/56193 [03:54] dpetrosky1, try : sudo dhclient wlan0 (with ethernet disconnected on that box) [03:54] get a sound driver [03:54] xTheGoat121x: first let me recap. You did something with your partitions making a separate /usr partitition, and since then, you can only boot into a shell? [03:54] dewey: nothing works? can you switch to a console with ctrl+alt+f1 [03:55] no the keyboard and mouse are unrespnsive [03:55] xTheGoat121x: well, you were able to boot. you just can't start x. try reconfiguring with: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-org [03:55] did you use a wubi installer [03:55] anyone got a good port scanner? [03:55] its weird [03:55] ? [03:55] even after reinstall [03:55] KalebsRevenge, nmap [03:55] I know I can't be the only one that is having horrible Firefox problems. It crashes *every* time I attempt to exit out the browser and will not play Flash at all. Anyone know of a fix for this? I am guessing it's an Ubuntu bug as Flash will not play in other browsers either. [03:55] xTheGoat121x: ... if you haven't tried that already. [03:55] i have nmap [03:55] I'm having an issue with postfix... I think it's a mysql issue... could someone look at this (it has some error logs and such) and tell me what they think? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1214432 [03:55] if you use the wubi installer in ubuntu it doesn't work [03:55] <^Phantom^> Are there any programs for ubuntu that can help me build a website. [03:56] unitxt, what version of firefox / version of ubuntu [03:56] looking for others [03:56] losher, you are correct. I moved /usr to a new partition, actually on a separate device. [03:56] bulefish web editor [03:56] cant beat nmap [03:56] <^Phantom^> Like, help me create a nice design for it, and put it together. [03:56] prince_jammys, I never thought of that, actually... I will try it. [03:56] <_Apple_> can I get some help with getting my second display to run at another resolution? I've tried just about everything I can think of and find any more suggestions [03:56] KalebsRevenge: whats wrong w/ it? [03:56] ^Phantom^: look into Quanta and Kompozer [03:56] infact.. nmap now has a new version 5.0 [03:56] jdu: 9.04 / 3.0.11 [03:56] i could help you make a website [03:56] xTheGoat121x: did you change any of the existing partitions when you did this, or merely add a new one on a new device? [03:56] jdu any idea ? [03:57] <^Phantom^> prince_jammys, I'll do that, thank you for the suggestions :) [03:57] unitxt, i've had a similar setup and never had a problem; try 3.5 [03:57] KalebsRevenge: are you trolling [03:57] test34: im writing a review of scanners for 3 os i only have nmap for ubuntu [03:57] no [03:57] bye [03:57] dewey, not really. probably and x.org config problem. You may have to configure what driver it uses differently. [03:57] losher, other than renaming the original /usr to /usr2 after the copying (to ensure recovery), no changes to the existing partitions. [03:57] jdu: I build 3.5 from source, right? [03:57] KalebsRevenge- google poer scanners and reviews [03:57] i might downgrade [03:57] !ff35 | unitxt [03:57] unitxt: Firefox 3.5 Final is available for Jaunty by installing the package firefox-3.5 | FF3.5 is referred to as Shiretoko on your UI, see http://is.gd/1reB3 for an explanation | Hardy & Intrepid: http://is.gd/1jkNY [03:57] port* [03:58] (bazhang) with your sudo dh client wlan0 this is what came up http://imagebin.org/56196 [03:58] thanks [03:58] unitxt, get it from mozilla, copy the unpacked firefox.tar.bz2 to /opt and link /usr/bin/firefox to /opt/firefox/firefox [03:58] jdu, no need its in the repos [03:58] jdu, i didn't find such settings [03:58] i stand corrected [03:59] sudo apt-get update.. 3.5 will be there [03:59] xTheGoat121x: can you paste from the broken machine. I'd like to see /etc/fstab and /boot/grub/menu.lst, the output of blkid, and 'df -h' [03:59] xTheGoat121x: if you reconfigured X, try starting gdm again. [03:59] maxagaz, you may have to look for them longer. at least they are in the several optiplex's i've tried [03:59] losher, no, I cannot paste. I'd have to retype everything by hand. [03:59] maxagaz, but I really don't know [04:00] Xcell, cool. [04:00] ok [04:00] prince_jammys, I haven't gotten to the point of reconfiguring yet... almost there. [04:00] xTheGoat121x: no network connectivity on the broken box? [04:00] I know you guys do not care, but I keep trying different things out of curiosity, I am not trying to boot Live CD 8.04 64 to see if I get the same problem with the CD. [04:00] losher: his fstab line as pasted earlier: /dev/sdb1 /usr auto relatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1 [04:00] I Booted successfully from 8.04 LTS [04:00] losher: and he can view files in /usr, and run programs in his PATH such as nano. [04:00] Hmm, this is interesting [04:01] Anyone have any experience with routing/firestarter ? [04:01] It sucks most mp3 players don't play .ogg format [04:01] Ok [04:01] prince_jammys: thanks, that helps a bit, but I'll need to see more... [04:01] There was a failure to boot from live CD. this will not run 64 bit [04:01] Ahhhhhhaaaaaaaa [04:02] dpetrosky1, does that box have some special everex repos? please cat /etc/apt/sources.list and paste.ubuntu.com with it [04:02] prince_jammys, losher, something deep is screwy... I just tried the dpkg-reconfigure, and I got a warning about how xserver-org is not installed [04:02] I'm using firestarter to do internet connection sharing, however certain sites/hosts will not resolv. [04:02] xTheGoat121x: mmm [04:02] xTheGoat121x: xserver-xorg (with an x) [04:02] you said "org" [04:02] New computer with 4 gigs of Ram will not run 64 bit [04:02] What a piece of Crap [04:02] prince_jammys, yeah, just picked up on that myself... typo! I'm currently reconfiguring. [04:02] sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ?? [04:03] (bazhang) you have me lost on cat & pasting ubuntu....... please explain [04:03] FLJohn, is it 64bit? [04:03] Well it was sent to me from manufacturee with 4 gigs of Ram in it. [04:04] dpetrosky1, still in terminal -->type: cat /etc/apt/sources.list --> paste that to website --> paste.ubuntu.com hit paste and give us the url here [04:04] JDU: let me look up the motherboard [04:04] FLJohn: The processor determines whether it can handle a 64bit architecture OS, not the RAM or motherboard. [04:04] prince_jammys, still does not allow GDM to start [04:04] look at the bios for that model # on the board [04:05] losher, I can probably get network connectivity... [04:05] versions mean allot [04:05] !who [04:05] 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 :) === prince_j1mmys is now known as prince_jammys [04:05] pici: thank you. Its a Dual core pentium 2.5 Ghx [04:05] ghz [04:05] xTheGoat121x: too many cooks right now. Why don't you and prince_jammys work on it a bit more & then if you don't make progress I'll give it a try... [04:05] I have a problem with my new Lenovo laptop. After loading, there's a black screen and nothing appear. [04:05] losher, but ssh-ing into the machine... can that be done with a crossover cable? [04:06] xTheGoat121x: the errors from /var/log/Xorg.0.log are probably the most relevant. [04:06] FLJohn, does the label on the outside of the box (or on the palm rest) have 64 on it. [04:06] losher: no, please. [04:06] losher: i don't mind, plus i have no idea what the origin of the problem is. [04:06] FLJohn, I know that is not scientific but they want to advertise the 64ness [04:06] jdu: it was a barbones kit sent by mistake I do not know that much about it. Guess I should research it. [04:07] losher: all that i can tell is that /usr seems to mount properly, but X won't start. [04:07] what video card is it [04:07] jdu: Vision man sent me the wrong computer first then they sent me a rebuild of the right computer and never asked for the wrong one back [04:08] xTheGoat121x: if you dont have network connectivity, was the whole thing installed entirely from CD? I'm thinking we can probably just reinstall the xserver... [04:08] Xcell, me? [04:08] I am paying them for this one too now. do not have the correct manifest with the correct print outs cause the manifest on the wrong computer was the correct components with the right computer [04:08] I have a couple of empty partitions that were created during my ubuntu upgrade. How can I merge them to my home directory? [04:09] core duo is 32 bit ; core 2 duo is 64 bit [04:09] thanks baz [04:09] !gparted | chiques : Get the live CD: [04:09] chiques : Get the live CD:: gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php [04:09] bazhang: that should be in Bios right? [04:10] chiques: actually, gparted comes with the ubuntu Live CD, if you have it. Boot to that and use "partition editor" [04:10] losher, here's the long version of the story. I have an eeepc 2g surf that only has a 2gb SSD. I'm using eeebuntu, and everytime i tried to put /usr on an SD card right from installation, it didn't work [04:10] prince_jammys, ubottu So I have to boot off the live cd to merge them? [04:10] FLJohn, the core duo/core2 duo? not sure; usually I see it on the outside of the case, you can find out in the terminal though [04:10] Good evening, with Ubuntu 9.* using aMSN .97 I can't seem to recieve files or view contacts webcams, I've tried disableing the firewall, allowing port 6891 no avail...any ideas? thanks! [04:10] Hey guys, I have this box with jaunty freshly installed onit, eth0 is there and appears to come up but no response from dhcp. [04:11] Any suggestions? [04:11] chiques: i suggest so. [04:11] losher, so instead, I installed to the 2GB SSD with plans on moving /usr to the SD card post-installation [04:11] Thanks! === nibsa1242_ is now known as nibsa1242 [04:11] chiques: what you'll do is stretch your /home so it takes over the available space. [04:11] (bazhang) http://paste.ubuntu.com/220222/ [04:12] FLJohn, cat /proc/cpuinfo [04:12] chiques: .... provided the partitions are next to each other. [04:12] xTheGoat121x: so in fact you've never had a successful installation on this hardware? And X has never worked? [04:12] looks like there is only 3.25 gigs of memory [04:13] * prince_jammys pulls his hair if X has never worked and that wasn't mentioned. [04:13] losher, no, actually I've had great success with this hardware. The problem is that the 2GB hard drive winds up with 55mb free after installation, and I'd like to be able to have more installed than just Firefox [04:13] FLJohn, if you are running 32 bit ubuntu, run sudo lshw -html > lshw.html && firefox lshw.html & [04:13] FLJohn, the resulting html file will tell you the width of the processor [04:13] * losher has no hair to pull [04:13] losher, the issue with booting only began after moving /usr to the SD card === playerx_ is now known as px [04:14] xTheGoat121x, to an sd card? [04:14] xTheGoat121x, you can probably find a trashed computer witha 20 gig drive or use a distro that only consumes 200mb or so. [04:15] jdu, yes, to an SD card. [04:15] xTheGoat121x, you'll ware it out. [04:15] xTheGoat121x, probably [04:15] jdu, it's a netbook [04:15] xTheGoat121x, how did you format it? [04:15] xTheGoat121x, ah, yes [04:15] jdu, how it's formatted currently doesn't matter -- I know that ext3 is bad for flash memory [04:15] Ok Gang. I am going to load 8.04 lts until I can get another Sata cable here so I do not have to swap cables again. Talk in an few. I need to rip this one apart . Talk in a few. [04:16] xTheGoat121x, sorry. [04:16] be back. [04:16] Anyone want to help me get networking working on this box? [04:16] jdu, no need to be sorry. [04:16] xTheGoat121x, if its something like fat, it may be that linking is not working which may be your problem. [04:17] it isn't. it's ext3 [04:17] ok [04:17] oh, wait [04:17] /dev/sdb1 /usr auto relatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1 [04:17] "auto" [04:18] prince_jammys, it had been ext3 previously in fstab [04:18] xTheGoat121x: ext3 -> auto shouldn't really matter. Does /dev/sdb1 fsck successfully? [04:18] Ok, I just backed up /home to my test box, and it worked! All my files are there, but not all the apps. to run them. Is there an easy way to restore the apps., or should I reload them with Synaptic? [04:19] This is a fresh ubuntu jaunty install on a desktop box. It installed successfully and, of course, was immediately out of date. [04:19] What do I have to do to make it so that ubuntu can play dvd's again? [04:19] Did an update and it fetched packages for a couple of hours and then told me it needed to reboot. Rebooted and when it came back up couldn't get back on the network. [04:19] losher, let me check [04:19] n2diy, not really. unless you never deleted the debs from /var/cache/apt/archives [04:19] !dvd [04:19] 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 [04:19] (bazhang) did you get that last TEXT link? [04:20] n2diy: If you have your old drive, or the files from /etc from your old drive, you can pull a package list out of apt and just reload all your packages at once. [04:20] losher, how am I going to fsck it if it's mounted, and I get a warning when I try to umount it (apparently it's in use?) [04:20] jdu: so, if I ran apt-get clean recently, I'm out of luck? [04:20] dpetrosky1, yep, just hardy repos (none from everex) did the wireless ever work on that box? [04:20] n2diy, yes [04:20] n2diy, they're no longer there [04:20] So, nobody has any ideas on this networking before I give up and reinstall jaunty from scratch? [04:20] God, I feel like a windows user. [04:20] xTheGoat121x: well, normally you'd do it from the livecd. Dunno if eeebuntu has one though. I admit I don't know much about eeebuntu.... [04:20] n2diy: do you have the apps installed in your old box? [04:21] losher... alright, I'll boot off my USB [04:21] (bazhang) I just got it yesterday...... ethernet works fine, but not wireless [04:21] puff, try restarting networkmanager [04:21] losher, that'll take a moment, then [04:21] puff, reading logs. [04:21] puff: I did back up /etc, but I think I might need to tell grsync to do it recursively. [04:21] jdu: Which logs in particular? [04:22] http://reviewboard.us.oracle.com/r/247 [04:22] dpetrosky1, sorry I don't know more about everex cloudbooks (never had one); is there a wifi on/off switch on that? or wifi marked on one of the F1-F12 keys? [04:23] puff, if you go to the log viewer then try to connect, the appropriate logs will become bold [04:23] there may be several [04:23] prince_jammys: its not my old box! It's my mission critical box! :) Yes the apps. are here, and I have all my synaptic markings saved. [04:23] bazhang there is a Wif-i located next to the power on/off switch [04:23] dpetrosky1, try toggling that before you restart the box [04:23] jdu: Ah, so it just checks the timestamps? [04:24] bazhang: hold on I'll take a pic for you.... NO toggle switch just says Wif-i [04:24] puff, it certainly tracks changes [04:24] dpetrosky1, no need for a picture, is there a key with a wifi symbol on it [04:25] puff, not that can't be done with dmesg | tail -f [04:25] puff, additional that [04:25] in the last senctance [04:25] * jdu is tired, is going === samtihen_ is now known as samtihen [04:26] bazhang: yes the wif-i is a button that you press on/off..... lights up orange [04:27] dpetrosky1, then hit it, and sudo dhclient wlan0 again no need for pictures, just say if you get anything more than last time [04:27] can someone please tell me how to turn of the vlc text thing and clock on vlc media player? [04:28] jdu: Hm, oddly enough my friend rebooted themachine while I was talking here and the network appears to be working now. [04:28] micah: The one that is displayed on the video? [04:28] no its just on the screen for every movie i play [04:29] micah: Theres an option in preferences to turn off the OSD, that seem like what youre loking for [04:29] oh ok thank you let me try that real quick [04:29] * CoJaBo-Aztec wonders how ssh works o_O [04:29] anyone know of a textile editor/previewer app for ubuntu? [04:30] where is the config for the system/preferences/remote desktop??? [04:30] well im under the subtitles/osd part and i dont see an option for osd [04:30] i see port 5900 is open, but can't find /etc/vnc or anything like it [04:30] losher, apparently the device passes fsck [04:30] I just ran it and it says it's clean [04:30] which pkg provides sun jvm? [04:30] sun-java-6 i think [04:31] I'm trying to watch a webex and ff keeps complainig jvm is not installed [04:31] I have java6-jre isntalled [04:31] jre = jvm [04:31] hmm [04:31] micah: akgraner Should be an osxdude ption "enabel OSD that you can unckeck..

[04:32] not my whole box [04:32] has anyone written up a "recipe" on how to get Ubuntu to start the wireless network connection without/before a user logging in? [04:32] bazhang: I feel real stupid. that damn Wif-i does NOT LOOK like a button......but it sure enough was.... I am connected now... THANKS for all your help.... if you are not mad at me now......lol - - - - - - Now, will this, like windowsOS, remember the passkey that I entered, or something that I have to re-enter everytime I want to connect to the internet? [04:32] dft, I'd try at least restarting x [04:32] losher, running right now [04:33] dpetrosky1, for the wifi? you should be able to set that in the network manager applet or in the network connections preferences [04:33] thank you bazhang, cant thank you enough............. [04:34] dpetrosky1, additionally you may consider just using Mac Filtering instead of WEP, as wep is not secure at all [04:34] jdu, bazhang: Thanks guys. 3.5 *is* in the repos so that was nice as well. [04:34] losher, passes with flying colors [04:34] dpetrosky1, glad you got it going [04:34] xTheGoat121x: where did you copy the new /usr from? [04:34] * poseidon has no encryption! [04:34] Is Mac Filtering another days worth of investigation for me [04:35] losher, from the 2GB SSD [04:35] xTheGoat121x: can you mount the 2GB SSD? [04:35] dpetrosky1, it is set in the router, and means that only your MAC (hard ware address for your chipset) is allowed to connect [04:35] losher, yeah, no problems there [04:35] xTheGoat121x: can you mount the 2GB SSD? I'd like to check the data copied faithfully [04:36] losher, sure. What exactly should I be looking for? [04:36] bazhang: ok.....on that....... does this Linux open .exe files, or is that not allowd with this system? [04:36] is there a command to log you out of gnome, and return you to a terminal? [04:36] dpetrosky1: MAC filtering provides almost no security as weell [04:36] xTheGoat121x: I want to mount the original /usr and the new /usr and then diff them. Do you know how to do that? === Royall_ is now known as Royall [04:37] dpetrosky1, some will work with wine, an app that allows some windows programs to run; you can check the appdb for more info on what does and does not work [04:37] I've got the original on the SSD as /usr2 [04:37] !appdb | dpetrosky1 [04:37] dpetrosky1: 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 [04:37] CoJaBo: thx [04:37] Hey [04:37] xTheGoat121x: great. And the new /usr (/dev/sdb)? [04:37] xTheGoat121x: great. And the new /usr (/dev/sdb1)? [04:37] where is the config for the system/preferences/remote desktop??? [04:37] losher, I've got them both mounted (which is currently on /dev/sdc1) [04:38] bazhang: and what is Wine? [04:38] losher, but I have no clue as to how to diff things [04:38] Is it ok if I advertise on this chat? Like just one link xD [04:38] xTheGoat121x: ok, now do diff -r /usr2 /new_user (if you see what I mean) [04:38] dpetrosky1, install it from the repos it is an application that lets you run some windows software [04:38] Docvet95, no [04:38] Ok thanks anyways [04:39] lol [04:39] !wine | dpetrosky1 [04:39] dpetrosky1: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [04:39] bazhang: Ok I can do that if I know what repos is........ I told you I am totally lost on the OS but WILL LEARN it hahhahaha [04:39] Am I allowed to ask for help on an issue that I have posted about on the Ubuntu forums, but that has gone without substantial help? [04:40] Andorin: sure you are... [04:40] http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/ dpetrosky1 you may wish to read this primer as well [04:40] !vnc [04:40] VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [04:40] losher, I see what you mean, and the diff is running right now [04:40] can someone tell me where the config is for remote desktop? [04:41] bazhang: what is repos [04:41] dpetrosky1, the repos are the software repositories where you install applications from, unlike in Windows where you go to 3rd party websites, the repos have most everything you need [04:41] Okay, cool... basically, I'm having trouble with keyboard shortcuts and such, and I do not believe it's hardware related. I'd appreciate it if anyone who could help with such things would look at this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1214508 [04:41] and where do I find that bazhang? [04:41] dpetrosky1, they can be accessed via add/remove synaptic package manager, or the command line [04:42] xTheGoat121x: assuming the copy is good, then the next step is to reboot, connect to the network, and try reinstalling your xserver.... [04:42] losher, I'm imagining that if the copy was good... there wouldn't be much output from the diff operation? [04:42] Anyone familiar with routing with firestarter? I'm having a problem where only some hosts are accessible on the client machine [04:43] dpetrosky1, search around in your menus for the first two, I dont recall where they are in hardy, should be in Applications, and system administration respectively [04:43] xTheGoat121x: basically no output -> no problems [04:43] losher, haha, well, then. That explains a lot. [04:43] does anyone have any ideas on how to view others webcams or recieve files on aMSN v.97 on Jaunty? I've tried disabling the firewall, allowing port 6891 but still nothing...thanks [04:43] xTheGoat121x: why, what happened? [04:43] losher, the thing is still listing the differences [04:43] hello [04:43] i cannot get the wordperfect gzip tar package to install [04:44] is there a secret to install wordperfect 8 [04:44] hello [04:44] bazhang: I am in the add/remove part.... any suggestions on what to use for the .exe files and/or any other apps I should be using if you know any off the top of your head [04:44] xTheGoat121x: if you ran the thing for a while after copying, installed new stuff etc. the differences may be legitimate. Did you? [04:44] wine is a windows emulator that can run exe [04:44] is it just me or this Document Viewer is way faster and more responsive than Adobe Reader ... ? [04:45] censushq: Wordperfect works in linux? [04:45] chetnick: way faster! [04:45] is there an adobe reader for linux [04:45] losher, no, that's the thing... hmmmm, true. [04:45] anyone who's got a good recommendation for LCD ARM desk mounts? [04:45] there is a linux wordperfect no longer supported [04:45] xTheGoat121x: you never said, exactly how did you attempt the copy? [04:45] windoze blows [04:46] lol [04:46] censushq, no need for that [04:46] ok sorry [04:46] i have 3 windows pcs [04:46] dpetrosky1, yes, Wine [04:46] 1 ubuntu netbook [04:46] Anyone have any experience with using ubuntu as a router? I'm using it to route from a wireless connection to an eth0 connection, where a single pc client picks it up. (internet connection sharing). I can get it working MOSTLY, except some sites/hosts are not accessible, nor even pingable. [04:46] how hard is it to upgrade from hardie heron to the gibbon [04:46] censushq - Is there a reason you don't want to use OpenOffice?

Changed the mount points (including renaming /usr to /usr2), and tried the reboot [04:47] i have open office but it cant seem to load wordperect files even with import filters [04:47] I will do that bazhang..........thank you very much [04:47] Hmm, that's strange...

I'm not sure I would trust nautilus to do the copy properly. Would you like to reattempt the copy using a different tool? Is there anything on the new usr you need to save? [04:48] bazhang: So if I ever have another Q:? about this system, is this where I am supposed to get my help then from now on? [04:48] anyone recommend a program to encode these iso files? [04:48] how hard is it to change from heron to gibbon on a netbook [04:48] is it worth the upgrade [04:49] heron to gibbon [04:49] Slurpee: encode them to what? For what purpose? [04:49] what can i write at the terminal to check if my card is doing opengl ? [04:49] i am open to suggestions on codecs to use...obviously dvd is way too much. especially when sharing with friends. [04:49] losher, no, nothing that needs to be saved. The only thing that is concerning me is that I don't get a progress bar with any other tool, and there tends to be some... issues... when copying to the SD card [04:49] use vlc media player [04:49] it has lightweight codecs [04:49] dpetrosky1, here is fine, but for very basics things like what is wine, etc. you should first read the links given so as to ask more informed questions [04:50] censushq - if you upgrade, I would suggest a reinstall with Jaunty rather than Gibbon...I assume you don't have a CD/DVD drive? [04:50] xTheGoat121x: what kind of issues. Anything less than a perfect copy is, well, imperfect.... [04:50] i have a usb external i can hook to the netbook [04:50] I have jaunty. I heard the next release is going to be pimp though [04:50] heron recognizes the external usb [04:50] Can someone help me?

If these come from there then it's probably trashed and you need to reinstall. The alternative is that the target device is unreliable, which means you're probably never going to be able to use it. At this stage, I would reinstall from CD, do a manual partition, and select /dev/sdb1 as the location for /usr, and see if that works. [05:53] Hi, Can someone help me?

[06:09] WIGGMPk, oh okay [06:09] but I'm not seeing any partitioning menu [06:09] tehbaut|: you have to tell the installer all the mount points for the partitions [06:09] ah [06:10] zenlunatic: is the filesystem check command different for ext4 partitions? i think my boot partition has some bad superblocks [06:10] tehbaut|: you have to click "Manual" when it asks you if you want to do a "guided" install or "manual" [06:10] yeah, I'm already on the manual editing screen [06:10] WIGGMPk: just specify the FS .. fsck -t ext4 .. or use fsck.ext4 [06:10] thanks [06:10] when in doubt... just fsck it [06:11] now... how can I enable my live 5.1? [06:11] WIGGMPk, never used ext4 are you on ubuntu 9.10? [06:11] tehbaut|: is this a fresh install? or do you want to keep data? [06:11] do I have to enable the software mixer? [06:11] moymoy: thanks.. and I can still use the -y parameter too? [06:11] zenlunatic: yea [06:11] WIGGMPk: yup [06:11] moymoy, one of my partitions is hfs+ but I don't want to reformat it on accident [06:11] how much space does ubuntu need? should 10gb be enough? [06:11] trying to triple boot [06:11] coldhak: more than enough [06:12] Hi. When installing the ubuntu-server 9.04, I get a bunch of "debootstrap warning" errors, several .deb files seem corrupt. [06:12] (not really a linux question) if I put /home on a different partition, is there a way for windows to read it? [06:12] WIGGMPk, you probably would be better served in #ubuntu+1 [06:12] moymoy, I saved ubuntu for last, so the first two partitions need to keep their data [06:12] coldhak: nope. [06:12] zenlunatic: oh crap im sorry.. no im using 9.04 (jaunty) [06:12] ok [06:12] tehbaut|: okay, click into the partition and for the dropdown menu, click "use as HFS+ partition" and set a mount point... but make sure it's marked as "do not format" [06:12] coldhak: Windows cannot read linux partitions. However. IF you have to share files. Just use a seperate fat32 partition [06:13] tehbaut|: the installer is complaining that you didn't set up a root partition... so pick a partition to mount "/" [06:13] can /home be put on a fat32 partition? [06:13] moymoy, there is no HFS+ option, just XFS journaled and JFS journaled [06:13] tehbaut|: hmm right.. the installer doesn't support HFS then.. but i know the kernel supports it.. so i don't know [06:13] coldhak: I don't think so, but maybe?(someone else...). Not recommended in either case [06:13] heh [06:14] Fat32 has alot of limitations, mainly in filesizes and whatnot. [06:14] ext4 is pretty nice lately ^_^ [06:14] tehbaut|: wait.. you want to install linux onto the hfs+ partition right? [06:14] no, that's my osx partition [06:14] but I'd like to be able to access it [06:15] both read and write [06:15] coldhak: fat32 only allows 4GB file sizes max i think.. and your /home will most likely become heavily fragmented and become very slow [06:15] How is Ubuntu's support for bluetooth mice? [06:15] ah. that's definitely bad. [06:15] tehbaut|: oh .. then you don't have to do anything to it when you install ubuntu .. you'll be able to access it from ubuntu no problem [06:16] tehbaut|: but you might have to install some modules from the repositories .. but i know it works.. i can mount Mac OSX partitions on my install [06:16] moymoy, okay but I still need to specify a mount point? or? [06:16] Anyone catch my message on mount? [06:16] tehbaut|: yes, you still have to specify a mount point.. do you have a partition set aside for ubuntu already? [06:17] yep, I do [06:17] [06:17] tehbaut|: then you can set that to be mounted as "/" [06:17] moymoy: quick question.. whats the differences between e2fsck and fsck??? [06:17] where's a good "wake on lan" howto? [06:17] Prepare Partitions dialog won't let me add a mount point to the other part's though [06:18] WIGGMPk: they're the same to me.. but i always use fsck [06:18] I have this weird problem, Whenever i lock my Ubuntu desktop and login back again; the sound which i muted before gets unmuted [06:18] tehbaut|: which parts? do you want two different partitions for / and /home? [06:18] not without reformatting them, at least [06:18] no, for the other os pars [06:18] parts [06:18] WIGGMPk, well they're not technically the same, e2fsck is for ext2/ext3/ext4 filesystems, fsck is more general, its a wrapper that works for any FS. [06:19] tehbaut|: i don't understand what you're saying [06:19] WIGGMPk, by calling and appropriate fsck [06:19] !firefox [06:19] 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 [06:19] how do i remove/replace grub, and make it so the laptop always boots up to vista? [06:19] moymoy, you said that I needed to add mount points to the other os's part's [06:19] hi friends [06:20] !firefox-3.5 [06:20] 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 [06:20] usser: which would you suggest for repairing an ext4 partition? should i just us fsck -t ext4 or e2fsck -t ext4? this is my first need to repair one of my ext4 paritions [06:20] tehbaut|: not necessary .. you only need to mount "/" that's the most important .. everything else is optional (but highly recommended) [06:20] moymoy, but when I edit those part's, the mount point field is greyed out until I tell it to reformat [06:20] WIGGMPk, just use fsck [06:20] <[R]> arooni: "fixing" your MBR is a windows issue, not a linux issue [06:20] WIGGMPk, thats the "right" way of doing it [06:20] usser: moymoy: k thanks for the help guys [06:20] I guess I can just proceed then? [06:20] want to share info about http://www.ubun2.com Web 2.0 style Question and Answers Please help to build the largest Ubuntu knowledge base [06:20] RFC2828 includes a definition of 'proxy server'. In two commentaries of this definition the term 'proxy' is used (not 'proxy server'). Does this use of 'proxy' mean a short-hand for 'proxy server' or what does proxy stand here for? [06:21] * Squynti sighs [06:21] want to share info about http://www.ubun2.com Web 2.0 style Question and Answers Please help to build the largest Ubuntu knowledge base [06:21] tehbaut|: always double check when dealing with your harddrive .. make sure you don't format the wrong drives and such [06:21] [R], right but uninstalling linux ubuntu should be something covered in this channel [06:21] [R], i love ubuntu to death, i'm just selling the laptop to someone [06:21] <[R]> arooni: there is no such thing as "uninstalling" [06:21] ሂያ [06:22] arooni: You can uninstall and just have a computer with BIOS on it [06:22] Another issue; I have one HDD with a partition that cannot mount... and it says: failed to read last sector (numeric): invalid argument. Perhaps the vol is a RAID/LDM but it wasn't set up yet, or the wrong device was used, or the partition table incorrect. Failed to mount /dev/sbc3 <-- anyone help me with this? [06:22] or an input [06:22] arooni: a quick google search will give you all the details .. mostly just put the windows disk in and boot into recovery or something and `fixmbr` or something [06:23] Hey guys, what is the correct way to map keyboard keys as mouse buttons? I'm using xmodmap. Is that still the 'correct' way? [06:23] does ubuntu not share swap space on the same partition as the install itself? [06:24] tehbaut|: no, you should use a separate partition [06:24] tehbaut|: it is possible to use a swapfile but it is a bad idea [06:24] tehbaut|: swap partition is always a separate partition.. but if you have enough RAM, swap isn't necessary unless you want to hibernate and such [06:24] ah, well that's not important [06:25] What sound programs is there for on Ubuntu that are good? [06:25] do macs use a swap partition? [06:25] moymoy: no, they cannot do so [06:25] how to get a full copy of a drive (ext3 partition) so that I can query the deleted items? [06:25] I always do 2GB for swap myself. [06:25] moymoy: that is to say, OS X does not and cannot do so. Ubuntu can if it's installed on a mac [06:25] <[R]> wizzo50: "sound program"? [06:26] Though the usual reference is 1.5x your RAM [06:26] Okay it looks like I may need to upgrade pidgin in some way [06:26] <[R]> skyl: query? [06:26] How should I go about doing this? [06:26] yeah, macs use a swap file I thought [06:26] [R] well, hopfully eventually 'recover' [06:26] Gemmie78: what version do you have? [06:26] can swap partition be adjusted? [06:26] Mac doesn't use swap. [06:26] I want not just an image with files that exist but a full binary copy I think [06:27] <[R]> skyl: undeleting on ext3 is pretty tough [06:27] <[R]> skyl: but you can google it [06:27] that explains the performance issues I experience when memory is low then [06:27] [R] I'm aware [06:27] skyl, dd [06:27] tehbaut|: how much ram do you have? [06:27] 2GB in this machine [06:28] right now I am only trying to get /dev/sda1 which is umount (I'm on another partition) to another computer [06:28] r yes [06:28] umm [06:28] tehbaut|: if you can manage the extra space, match your RAM w/ swap. (2048 MB for swap) [06:28] why does firefox 3.5 have to include firefox 3.0 [06:28] I think I have my swap partition too big, can it be fixed? [06:28] ohh wow!! I found a chat with tons of ppls:) [06:28] i'm trying to have a splash screen on my grub menu....I've manually edited the menu.lst file to include it.....put in a picture in the grub folder that was .xpm format and gzipped and 14 colors with a resolution of 640x480....then i updated the grub, which reconized my splash screen....yet grub kept giving me a failed to read splashimage error.....i was told to try StartUp-Manager and so I installed it and checked everything out....and everythi [06:28] skyl, dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/location/to/store/image [06:28] <[R]> Squynti: there is no "too big" [06:28] Welcome first timer Enoc [06:28] eFrag|Pulse, is it something I can add later? [06:28] Squynti: how big is your swap? ... and why do you think it's too big? [06:29] tehbaut|: ofcourse. [06:29] not planning to do anything that intensive right away [06:29] [R]: ok though my HDD seem to be a wasted space with oversized swap (initally made an error on that part) [06:29] shade34321, try grub2 its really easier to set splash image in it [06:29] Just make sure you leave the extra space just in case. [06:29] how do I revisit swap space in the future? [06:29] just partition manager? [06:29] why does firefox 3.5 have to include firefox 3.0 [06:29] thanks I'm new and still alittle lost lol [06:29] just leave a few gigs free at the end of your disk space [06:29] <[R]> Rob235: yes... we all heard you the first time [06:30] Rob235: i believe it has to do with making sure the gecko rendering engine is available for other (dependant) packages [06:30] my ram is 15,gb and the swap I had it set on I think according to windows disk managment at nearly 7 gb [06:30] ok [06:30] tehbaut|: yup.. just shrink one of your partitions and create a new swap partition [06:30] then later you can just format the free space as swap and activate it [06:30] ok thanks [06:30] 1.5 gb* [06:30] OS X definitely cannot use a swap partition. It's a constant complaint of people who use graphics software [06:30] Can you do a server install from the mini.iso cd? [06:30] richardcavell: don't get me started :P [06:30] thanks so much usser , I'm on a pretty tight timeline here or I would be doing my homework :) [06:30] histo, yes [06:31] histo, server install is nothing more than a basic set of packages around a -server kernel [06:31] eFrag|Pulse: some people have made it work with external swap partition but it involves a lot of Darwin voodoo [06:31] any site where girls are located?? [06:31] histo, install as usual from mini.iso add -server kernel and go from there [06:31] usser: I understand that I just don't see an option to choose server install to get the server kernel. [06:31] Can someone help me? I'm having trouble with keyboard shortcuts and such, and I do not believe it's hardware related. I'd appreciate it if anyone who could help with such things would look at this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1214508 [06:31] anyone know what "tracker applet" telling me that "there was an error while performing indexing: corrupted" means? and why do none of the 3 relevant buttons to close it work? why is it using my hard drive like a madman? [06:31] richardcavell: bleh :P More trouble than its worth than heh [06:31] Enoc: ubuntuforums.org [06:31] Hey guys, what is the correct way to map keyboard keys as mouse buttons? I'm using xmodmap. Is that still the 'correct' way? [06:32] histo, so, just install as usual you can always add another kernel later on when system is in place [06:32] <[R]> richardcavell: if it works and does what you want... then yes [06:32] skyl, no problem [06:32] moymoy I'm alittle lost [06:32] IMHO, there is no "Right, and wrong way." If it works without quirks, then its the right way. [06:33] richardcavell I believe I have 2.2.1 of pidgin [06:33] [R]: but there's a problem: I also want to map some of my keys as super keys (eg ctrl), and I don't think it's compatible [06:33] usser: trying to avoid that I just dl the server iso [06:33] It's not as simple as updating the piece of software by clicking on the menu [06:33] Gemmie78: Latest version is 2.5.5 [06:33] I had to go into terminal, but strangely, typing what was asked at the pidgin website didn't seem to have much of an effect [06:33] eFrag|Pulse, moymoy: thanks for your help [06:34] tehbaut|: no problem [06:34] I realise that [06:34] <[R]> richardcavell: and what makes you "think" its not? [06:34] Gemmie78: don't update using the pidgin website's instructions [06:34] can one then latter use the image as a drive after dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/here.img ... what can one do with the image? [06:34] any application that i can run on 9.04 but not 8.04 ? [06:34] So I'm trying to upgrade the software in some shape or form [06:34] skyl: you can mount the image if you want [06:34] Gemmie78: use update manager. What version of Ubuntu are you on? [06:34] greetings [06:34] [R]: I'm on a Mac and I have two command keys either side of my spacebar that are doing nothing [06:34] <[R]> strost: sure... something that requires the version of something that is in 9.04 and not 8.04 [06:34] skyl: sudo mount -o loop /image/here.img /folder/here [06:35] what is a good command line bittorent aplication? [06:35] i cannot find a guide for disabling journal on ext4 successfully [06:35] i upgraded kernel to 2.6.30 [06:35] duckwars: try rtorrent [06:35] <[R]> richardcavell: they don't show up in xev at all? anything show up in dmesg when you push them? [06:35] I was trying to make my transparent terminal embedded within the desktop via compiz, but then all windows lost their borders. How do I get the borders back? [06:35] [R]: So I'm trying to do keycode 133 = Control_L but it's not working [06:35] but i still get error after the kernel loads.. it isn't able to mount the rootfs it seems [06:35] moymoy I see, ty [06:35] moymoy: i was going to, but i can't apt-get or wget rtorrent [06:35] Update manager? [06:35] [R] : like what ? [06:35] [R]: They are keycodes 133 and 134. I can map them to Pointer_Button1 but not Control_L [06:35] I'm using gutsy gibbon [06:35] duckwars: almost all bitorrent clients in linux have command line support .. but rtorrent is the only one that uses ncurses [06:35] I'm fairly lazy to update the whole thing, I'm fairly simple [06:35] if I compress and uncompress an image it will still be identical? [06:36] very slow internet connection over here , going to take days to download another iso [06:36] moymoy: what is ncurses? [06:36] however, i am able to mount ext4 paritions without journal enabled once i am in the OS... [06:36] <[R]> richardcavell: keys like control and alt are called "modifier" keys... you should re-read the xmodmap man page [06:36] duckwars: have you tried compiling it? the one in the repositories are out of date anyway [06:36] I've tried using update manager and it says I'm using the latest stuff but have the choice to upgrade the 8.04 LTS [06:36] <[R]> strost: i don't know [06:36] <[R]> strost: but if you have no problems iwth 8.04... then stay with it [06:36] [R]: I've read it a hundred times [06:36] <[R]> strost: no one is forcing you to upgrade [06:36] Should I just remove pidgin from my computer and redownload it? [06:36] Gemmie78: Well then that's the version used in 8.04. So what's the problem? [06:37] hmmm [06:37] skyl, well yea what good is a compression algorithm that messes up the original file after decompression [06:37] the changelogs arent that helpful [06:37] skyl, of course it will be the same [06:37] [R]: In my startup Applications I have xmodmap -e "keycode 133 = Control_L", but it doesn't work [06:37] releasenotes* [06:38] usser yep [06:38] I'm dealing with wax records over here j/k [06:38] <[R]> richardcavell: and then what does xev report? [06:39] [R]: huh? You mean I should run that after running the xmodmap -e "keycode... bit? [06:39] The problem is I cannot sign into my MSN and YIM [06:39] This stopped last week [06:39] hi,who knows the partioning tool disk druid? [06:39] Gemmie78: I don't know that's pidgin's fault [06:39] <[R]> richardcavell: sounds like you dont know what xev is... maybe you should read it's man page [06:39] I'm signed in to MSN right now [06:39] [R]: I know what xev is [06:40] That's how I got the keycodes [06:40] duckwars: it's basically like a commandline interface .. it constantly updates itself, so it's already almost like a gui that runs in the command line [06:41] i hate to ask, but how do I compile a .tar.gz file? [06:41] <[R]> duckwars: you don't [06:41] <[R]> duckwars: .tar.gz is an acrhive... not somethign "to compile" [06:41] <[R]> archive* [06:41] duckwars: what do you mean? What are you trying to do? [06:41] you have to unpack it first :) [06:42] anyone in the US want a google voice invite? they sent me one and i cannot use it... [06:42] hello, can someone please help, i am unable to log in to a tty, i tried creating a new user, also i am unable to do anything requiring a password.. i am in the admin group [06:42] I'm trying to install rtorrent [06:42] it's a .tar.gz [06:42] duckwars: all you have to do is extract it.. get on a terminal and go in and ./configure then make then sudo make install [06:42] duckwars: but you need to hunt down all the dependencies first [06:42] [R]: What's wrong with the command : xmodmap -e "keycode 133 = Control_L" [06:42] duckwars: a quick google search on "how to compile rtorrent" should give you a nice list [06:42] It should work but it doesn't [06:42] duckwars tar -xvf filename [06:42] <[R]> richardcavell: so like i ALREADY said... [06:43] <[R]> [10:38:53] [R] richardcavell: and then what does xev report? [06:43] then cd dir, ./config, make [06:43] or ./configure [06:43] how can i share a file with someone using UbuntuOne? [06:43] anyone can help me? [06:44] [R]: I have the output of xev but what do I need to grep? [06:44] i am about to just format.. even though i have everything set up [06:44] <[R]> richardcavell: when did i tell you to grep anything? [06:44] have had ubuntu running for almost a year.. don't know why this happened [06:44] Holy crap. I just removed trackerd and now my laptop just became fast again. [06:45] jsq: can you log in as your old user? [06:45] not in a tty, i cant log in as anyone [06:45] [R]: Well, xev produces a ton of output.

[06:46] but anything that requires a password doesn't work [06:46] <[R]> `boz: there is no such thing as a window emulator [06:46] `boz: it doesn't work for me either [06:46] i have done that [06:46] <[R]> richardcavell: weird [06:46] jsq: so everything works but tty?

[06:52] <`boz> cheers richardcavell may try that [06:52] jsq: then reboot and sudo should be working [06:52] jsq: for whatever user you specify [06:52] ok ty will try [06:52] `boz: Don't. You're better off virtualizing [06:53] <`boz> how do i do that richardcavell? [06:53] `boz: Do you know about VirtualBox? [06:53] <`boz> nope [06:53] `boz: it allows you to run an operating system such as Windows within Ubuntu [06:53] `boz: real windows, not WINE [06:53] <`boz> ok [06:54] If I'm currently on Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon and choose to upgrade to 8.04 will I receive the new firefox [06:54] I'm currently using firefox 2 and unable to upgrade it simply in the menu [06:54] Gemmie78: no [06:54] Gemmie78: you'll have the firefox that was in 8.04 [06:54] I believe there's a firefox 3? [06:54] I see, darn [06:54] Gemmie78: you mean upgrading to 9.04 [06:54] And what firefox version was packaged in 8.04 [06:54] Gemmie78: Yes there is but it's not in 7.10 [06:54] No no, I was hoping I could go with an LTS [06:54] Gemmie78: 9.04 has 3.0.11 [06:54] Gemmie78: let me check [06:55] thank you [06:55] Currently I'm uysing 7.10 which has FF2 packaged in [06:55] omg, you guys have to read this: http://austinist.com/2008/12/10/aisd_teacher_throws_fit_over_studen.php [06:55] rocky_: summary? [06:55] Gemmie78: Hardy has firefox 3, yes. And Gutsy has reached EOL a long time ago, so you should really upgrade [06:55] here is how to install firefox 3.5 http://www.ubun2.com/question/157/how_install_firefox_35_ubuntu [06:56] <`boz> so i just have to get a windows version and install and i'm away then richardcaell [06:56] richardcavell, a teacher has a fit about a kid distributing linux, thinking its illegal XD [06:56] Gemmie78: it says version 3 in hardy [06:56] !info firefox hardy | Gemmie78 [06:56] when i ssh to my server i get the MOTD twice. any idea why?? [06:56] Gemmie78: firefox (source: firefox-3.0): meta package for the popular mozilla web browser. In component main, is optional. Version 3.0.11+build2+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1 (hardy), package size 64 kB, installed size 120 kB [06:57] ok, got the message: Adding user julian to group admin. still same problem: julian@julian-desktop:~$ sudo vi [sudo] password for julian: julian@julian-desktop:~$ [06:57] <[R]> Hilikus: twice when you login or once before and once after? [06:57] `boz: Yes. Check the compatibilities first. It tends to be a bit slow. But it's really Windows inside Ubuntu. [06:58] [R]: twice when i loggin. one after the other [06:58] <`boz> cheers richardcavell i'm on to it [06:58] `boz: Not really good for running games. But for servers or testing programs, etc, it's invaluable [06:58] gksu nautilus asks for password, then does nothing [06:58] <`boz> autocad? [06:58] <[R]> Hilikus: how odd [06:58] Gemmie78: what version of ubuntu areyou running? [06:59] still can't log into a tty [06:59] Gemmie78: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardyUpgrades [06:59] I'm considering upgrading but my concern is losing my settings files and bookmarks [06:59] jsq: so you can't log in to tty and you can't use sudo is what you are saying? [06:59] Gemmie78: do you have your home on a seperate parititon? [06:59] actually the "last login" info is displayed once but the info about the kernel and my custom message appears twice [06:59] And doing an upgrade from the Upgrade Manager, I've never done it before so yeah I'm hesitant [06:59] is there some way to reset pam package? histo: yes! exactly [06:59] Gemmie78: If you upgrade by changing your sources.list file, you shouldn't lose anything. [06:59] !seperatehome | Gemmie78 [06:59] Sorry, I don't know anything about seperatehome [07:00] So to confirm hardy heron is 8.04 and an LTS version which should give plenty of support for many months to come [07:00] something with pam maybe? [07:00] should be safer [07:00] !home | Gemmie78 [07:00] Gemmie78: Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [07:00] and has Firefox 3? [07:00] Will other programs be updated too, such as pidgin? [07:00] Gemmie78: seperate home is your safeest bet all yoru settins and files should be stored there. [07:00] Gemmie78: Your home folder will not be touched by an upgrade [07:00] hi [07:00] jsq: let me find the link i was looking at with some trouble shooting for sudo [07:00] Home into a seperate partiton, not that I'm aware of actually [07:00] ok thanks [07:00] jsq: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/sudo [07:00] geirha: i dont think thats entirely true [07:01] Gemmie78: All programs will be updated, more or less [07:01] indus: how so? [07:01] I have installed Virtualmin 3.703.gpl module in my Webmin 1.480 panel of my Ubuntu 9.04 HyperVM VPS . Now I have added 1 domain named web2dziner.com using Virtualmin virtual hosts. The problem is when I type http://web2dziner.com (wrong Apache default page ) and http://www.web2dziner.com (the desired page) , it goes to two different webpages. I haven't done any modifications as such directly to the Apache. How to fix it ? [07:01] Gemmie78: Possibly. If you want everything up to date, though, you'd be best to upgrade to the latest version. [07:01] I see, so my home folder is basically my settings and documents right [07:01] What about installed software and programs? Will they be effected? [07:01] Upgraded/ or even lost? [07:01] hey.. any experts here.. i need some help with ubuntu [07:01] geirha: probably some .ice files etc are rewritten but iam probably wrong [07:01] Gemmie78: They'd only be upgraded [07:01] Hi! where can i get package for kscope ? [07:01] the Xauthority files [07:01] indus: No idea what .ice files is [07:02] I see, thanks for the help everyone [07:02] Gemmie78: Just because a package is upgraded doesn't mean you'll lose your preferences. It might happen, but that's rare. [07:02] I'm guessing I should sign out of everything and restart before an upgrade [07:02] geirha: aah its some permissions file [07:02] and even then [07:02] Gemmie78: if you installed everything from apt or synaptic they will all be upgraded. Unless you used 3rd party repos [07:02] I'm concerned about system requirements increasing with the upgrade [07:02] Gemmie78: there are ways to install firefox 3 on your version of ubuntu as well. [07:02] anyone had a good time with ati driver in jaunty? [07:02] Gemmie78: I don't think system specs have gone up at all [07:02] Currently I run a 1.5 celeron M on 512MB ram, sufficient I hope [07:02] my /etc/group is okay [07:03] Gemmie78: if anything you would probably see a performance increase due to a better version of gnome etc... [07:03] depaul: which ATI driver [07:03] sudoers should be okay but i will go into recovery mode to make sure [07:03] please tell me... if i had synce-hal and removed it to install odccm, can i download just the package? im stuck with a mobile phone for the net otherwise.. [07:03] <[R]> GeorgeAScott: huh? [07:03] should be fine esp i just ran gpasswd -a [07:03] Gemmie78: but if you back up your home you will have all your data and settings [07:03] How can configure the server to skip http authentication for local ip addresses? [07:04] Gemmie78: I've upgraded from Edgy 6.10 to Hardy 8.04, never lost any settings due to the upgrades [07:04] Gemmie78: all the settings are in . folders hidden in yoru home. [07:04] What about bookmarks? [07:04] Gemmie78: there in there as well. [07:04] settings for pidgin? [07:04] Accounts? [07:04] Gemmie78: everything [07:04] thunderbird? [07:04] i was tethered to my pc. and installed a package without noticing that it was removing synce-hal. [07:04] Gemmie78: yes. [07:04] Gemmie78: all those settings are in your users home directories [07:04] So the upgrade was seamless in the sense that the software was untouched [07:04] Gemmie78: firefox bookmarks are in ~/.mozilla/firefox/ somewhere. A bookmarks.html file for firefox 2 I believe [07:04] sorry let me rephrase [07:04] now i cant tether any more.... [07:05] <[R]> GeorgeAScott: ok and... [07:05] the software was updated, but the settings for that software (pidgin, firefox, thunderbird) were kept? [07:05] What about cookies? Temp files [07:05] Gemmie78: exactly. [07:05] etc [07:05] I have to say I'm very surprised [07:05] and tethering was my only outside connection... i cant apt-get synce-hal [07:05] Gemmie78: cookies and temp files don't matter. Firefox will download new cookies if it needs to. Temp files are only temporary. [07:06] How can configure the Apache2 server to skip http authentication for local IP addresses? [07:06] Gemmie78: And upgrade updates package versions. It doesn't remove anything in your home-folder where all your personal settings are [07:06] I have installed Virtualmin 3.703.gpl module in my Webmin 1.480 panel of my Ubuntu 9.04 HyperVM VPS . Now I have added 1 domain named web2dziner.com using Virtualmin virtual hosts. The problem is when I type http://web2dziner.com (wrong Apache default page ) and http://www.web2dziner.com (the desired page) , it goes to two different webpages. I haven't done any modifications as such directly to the Apache. How to fix it ? [07:06] Gemmie78: everything is in your home. go to places > home and hit ctrl + h to see all the hidden files [07:06] Gemmie78: hit ctrl+h again to hide them. [07:07] <[R]> GeorgeAScott: ok... and... [07:07] Gemmie78: or you can open a terminal and ls -la [07:07] fantastic [07:07] since synce-hal was the only package that was removed, can i download it to my mobile sd card and copy it over and restore tethering capabilities? [07:08] <[R]> GeorgeAScott: OH... why dindt you say that to begin with [07:08] <[R]> GeorgeAScott: http://packages.ubuntu.com [07:08] Gemmie78: thats why I keep a seperate home partition I can switch distributions or anything and keep all my data. [07:08] R, but will that work? [07:09] A seperate home partition [07:09] <[R]> GeorgeAScott: what do you mean? [07:09] But I thought the home partition was untouched? [07:09] if i remove the odccm package that caused the removal of synce-hal [07:09] <[R]> GeorgeAScott: sounds like you'll have to reinstall both [07:09] Hi! where can i get package for kscope ? [07:10] Gemmie78: Yes, when upgrading, when reinstalling Ubuntu though, you want a separate home partition so you can tell the installer not to wipe it [07:10] reinstall both? i just want synce-hal back, i can use sd card to transfer files if need be. i just want net back on my pc.. [07:11] hey all. in System > Preferences > Sound, Sounds tab, I attempted to change the Login sound, but it defaults. any ideas? [07:11] Gemmie78: it is in an upgrade. But i have the optiont aht I can reload root and just mount my home so that all my stuff stays even when switching to different distros. You don't have to worry about that if you are upgrading. [07:11] Anyone have a favorite command line alternative to pidgin? [07:12] !best | logankoester [07:12] logankoester: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [07:13] ok,, everything is in order.. im going to say its nothing to do with the sudoers file or the group.. especially i created a new user.. and they are unable to sudo. also a can't log into a tty and that has nothing to do with sudo, and i think these are related. [07:13] my biggest question... if i go to the ubuntu packages page and download the synce-hal(though i think i got it originally through svn) all dependencies should be met right, since that was the only package removed? [07:13] histo: Haven't seen a rule like that on irc before, seems kinda silly. But thank you, I won't ask again [07:13] jsq: thats wierd let me do some more searching [07:13] iirc or something is cool [07:13] <[R]> GeorgeAScott: if you have them all... but it sounds like you removed one of its deps [07:14] jsq: do you get an error when you try to log in to a tty [07:14] logankoester: for what protocols? [07:14] no, it just says ubuntu 9.04 blah, then prompt for login again [07:15] R, i was trying to install odccm because i couldnt access the file sys on my phone anymore(????) but when i did it removed synce-hal... which broke the tethering shindig i had going on.. [07:16] <[R]> GeorgeAScott: ok so reinstall it [07:16] wish i could cut & paste :P [07:16] Cool. I was a little concerned upgrading that there might me an option to start from a fresh slate [07:16] jsq: you can use pastebin I had a similiar problem before trying to remmeber what I did to fix it. [07:16] but cpying synce-hal from the sd card to the pc should be ok since all dependencies were there before right? [07:16] I'll probably upgrade later on tonight, thanks to everyone involved [07:16] i mean from the tty [07:17] <[R]> GeorgeAScott: unless you removed something [07:17] jsq: yeah same behavior [07:17] hi [07:18] xubuntu does not respond to my laptop [07:19] jsq: are there any errors in /var/log/auth.log when you try [07:19] jsq: to use sudo or login [07:19] yes [07:19] a pam error [07:20] ul 16 23:20:05 julian-desktop CRON[3686]: pam_unix(cron:session): session closed for user root [07:20] hmm [07:20] is that it..

[08:04] morning gents - not a strictly ubuntu question but here goes - i have got ubuntu running on a VM on OS X , now i run Apache within ubuntu , how do i access that Apache instance publically from within the network , does that make sense ? [08:04] firefox was working fine yesterday === _soloslinger is now known as soloslinger [08:05] !info eclipse [08:05] eclipse (source: eclipse): Extensible Tool Platform and Java IDE. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.2.2-5ubuntu3 (jaunty), package size 126 kB, installed size 420 kB [08:05] the instance? [08:05] ivenkys: depends how the VM is doing networking [08:05] ivenkys: that depends on what sort of virtualization software you are using and the network configuration. try running ifconfig in the vm [08:05] why I am getting this problem in http://dbms.web2dziner.com/ ? [08:05] jsq: yes [08:05] i always have luck with bridged networking, if that helps at all [08:06] anirban, your mysql module isn't loaded into php [08:06] NickDeNeger : How to load that ? [08:06] Boohbah: bernardlychan1: what is contained in the file, source? what do u mean? [08:06] Boohbah: i am using Virtual Box - and ifconfig gives me a 10.x.x.x networking address .- any pointers to where i can read more about this [08:06] sounds like your using vmware fusion? in wich case i have no clue [08:06] hey all. in System > Preferences > Sound, Sounds tab, I attempted to change the Login sound, but it defaults. any ideas? [08:06] oh nvm [08:06] jsq: nope - Virtual Box [08:07] anirban, open your php config file and uncommand the load_module mysql; [08:07] Saturn2888: what's broke? [08:07] but maybe you need to apt-get install php-mysql [08:07] first [08:07] Guys, I went to synaptic and downloaded gfx-boot themes, then when I go to startup manager it doesn't see any of them, and I can't click the option to use an image for bootloader [08:08] Dulak: the apache server is working, it's listening. I can go to ebox on https://serveraddress, but if I go to any of the domains in /var/www/, they don't work. Also, [08:08] I've installed ubuntu 9.04 in yutube for example i can hear the sound of the vidoes but not the vidoes themself. i found a manual which says to use apt-get install adobe-flashplugin , but it says it has no installatin candidate , how can i add sources to apt-get ? [08:08] hey all...strange problem here. i'm streaming my webcam via vlc over rtp, but on the receiver i'm getting Port Unreachable (from wireshark). on the server even netstat does not list the stream port as LISTEN. [08:08] Dulak: also, I can go to mydomain.com/apex/ and get oracle's thing working to. But that shouldn't work since the domain isn't working otherwise. [08:08] Saturn2888: the domains in /var/www, you added config files for them in /etc/apache2/sites-available and enabled them? [08:08] carlos`: sudo apt-get install flash-installer [08:09] quick telnet to the server on stream port says connection refused....no firewalls running [08:09] hmm wrong package to, try php5-mysql ^^ [08:09] gogeta, E: Couldn't find package flash-installer [08:09] aptitude install flashplugin-nonfree (for the non-free 1) [08:09] Dulak: well they used to work. Not after whatever happened to them today. The domains are there. How do I know if they're enabled? [08:09] hey anybody know how to make kde run on just one monitor not two? i have a laptop and a mon, and it has to run on both. [08:09] NickDeNeger : E: Couldn't find package php-mysql !! I am on ubuntu [08:10] anirban, php5-mysql [08:10] sorry my bad [08:10] Saturn2888: if they are enabled they'll have a link in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled [08:10] anyone know how to change bootloader theme? [08:11] !spllash [08:11] Sorry, I don't know anything about spllash [08:11] Dulak: yep, they're there [08:11] !splash [08:11] To change the Gnome splash screen, use gnome-splashscreen-manager or change the GConf key /apps/gnome-session/options/splash_image using !gconf-editor. [08:11] alright so: "grub> find /grub/stage1" gives me "(hd0,5)", "grub> root (hd0,5)", "grub>setup (hd0)" gives me: Running "install /boot/grub/stage1 (hd0) (hd0)1+16 p (hd0,5)/boot/grub/stage2 /boot/grub/menu.lst"... failed Error 12: Invalid device requested [08:11] any ideas? [08:11] Saturn2888: what happens when you try to load one of them? What error do you see in the browser? [08:11] The connection was reset blah blah blah in FFox [08:12] NickDeNeger : Installed, now what to do ? [08:12] Saturn2888: and if you do "ps aux | grep apache" you see that apache has some processes running? [08:12] Dulak: I'd like to note that only /apex/ works. All of the other ones like /otrs/ and /bandwidthd do not [08:12] anirban, i don't have php installed so i try out of my head... go to etc/php [08:12] then open the config file [08:13] and uncomment the load_module mysql.so [08:13] Dulak: http://pastebin.com/d1f0b0ed6 [08:13] byerley: seems you are stuck with repairing grub [08:14] cn i just make a usb start updisk creator [08:14] Saturn2888: ok so what happened today? Update or something? [08:14] NickDeNeger : What is the name of the config file ? conf.d ? [08:14] byerley: i use the supergrub live cd to fix up a broken grub [08:14] anirban, sec installing apache and php =) [08:14] xmodmap -e "keycode 133 = Control_L" does not work to map my extra key as the Control key.

[08:15] Dulak: here's 2 things I did. I updated OTRS using the debian testing repo. OTRS is a ticketing relay system. You use it through the browser. I also updated eBox to version 2.1. I've been updating ebox a lot recently w/o problems. I dunno what changed today. [08:15] anirban, yeah that's the one [08:15] hey guys when i type this in terminal: tar -xvf superkaramba-0.39.tar.gz, i get this: tar: superkaramba-0.39.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now.

[08:17] indus: well, from root yes [08:17] byerley: super grub can fix windows reinstall grub find linux installs and even boot a distro with a bad grub install [08:17] sorry indus :) [08:17] Saturn2888: I actually meant the error log [08:18] oh [08:18] lemme paste [08:18] gogeta: fair enough, thanks [08:18] Dulak: http://pastebin.com/d276a7aa2 [08:18] byerley:just make sure you typed hd and number 0 and not the alphabet o [08:19] root(hd0,5) [08:19] byerley: do one thing type root(hd and press tab [08:19] Saturn2888: that's the problem right there, it's not getting a session id for some reason and it's failing [08:19] or if you are confusing o and 0, get a nice monospace font like bitstream vera sans mono [08:19] lstarnes; i'm still getting error when i type this: tar -xvf /home/desktop/superkaramba-0.39.tar.gz [08:19] Dulak: ok. Then what's that issue from? [08:20] bernardlychan1: tar xzvf /home/desktop/superkaramba-0.39.tar.gz [08:20] bernardlychan1: z for gzip [08:20] heya my x no longer starts itll just hant when i type startx [08:20] would anyone know why? [08:20] ok boohbah, will try [08:20] indus: I've done this a few times, I'll double check, but I'm pretty sure my syntax is right [08:20] hey boohbah [08:21] gogeta: http://download.cnet.com/Auto-Super-Grub-Disk/3000-2094_4-10829335.html is what I want yeah? [08:21] still error [08:21] after a while it says giving up no such file or directory [08:21] Saturn2888: not sure I"m looking for anyone else that had the issue, give me a minute [08:21] byerley: use tab to see what devices are available like root(hd then tab [08:21] bernardlychan1: what's the error? [08:21] bernardlychan1: /home/$USER/Desktop/superkaramba-0.39.tar.gz [08:21] bernardlychan1: or the shortened form ~/Desktop/superkaramba-0.39.tar.gz [08:21] byerley: root(hd0,then also press tab [08:21] oh dear...

[08:22] indus: 0,1,3,5,6 [08:22] bernardlychan1: just type in one line with commas, [08:22] thanks istarnes!! [08:22] byerley: good [08:22] hey all...strange problem here. i'm streaming my webcam via vlc over rtp, but on the receiver i'm getting Port Unreachable (from wireshark). on the server even netstat does not list the stream port as LISTEN. no firewalls running.. [08:23] hey guys what do i do after i've unzipped .tar.gz? [08:23] byerley: so go ahead and type root(Hd0, and tab should list some of the partitions available with a description [08:23] where r the files that i've unzipped? [08:23] bernardlychan1: well it will create a folder with same name \ [08:24] bernardlychan1: it will be in same place where the tar file is [08:24] even streaming to localhost gives the same problem, but only on ubuntu. i tried on other distros, its working fine. [08:24] ok... wierd [08:24] *weird [08:24] that spelling confuses me all the time [08:25] byerley: [08:25] Saturn2888: ok well from that log otrs is what is broke and causing your problem, but nobody seems to have that same error so there is nothing to go on, if it was me I'd go back to the older OTRS and see if it starts working again, then take that error log and put it on the otrs mailing list for more help [08:25] Saturn2888: they don't even have a forum, it's all mailing lists [08:25] damn, i cannot fix the apt-get error [08:26] hey guys what do i do when i've unzipped the .tar.gz? [08:27] (soz to be so annoying) [08:27] indus: 0 is 0xde (my dell utility partition), 1 is 0x7 (Windows), 3 is 0xdb, 5 is ox83 (ubuntu), 6 is 0x82 (swap I believe?) [08:28] Dulak: yeah, I requested a forum. Should I just uninstall reinstall? [08:28] hey guys what do i do when i've unzipped the .tar.gz? [08:28] Dulak: the version in Ubuntu is 2.2.4 which isn't even the newest 2.2.x version. .7 has security updates for instance [08:28] Does anyone have a link to docs for upgrading between LTS versions? I have a LTS server I need to upgrade to 8.04LTS [08:28] Saturn2888: honestly I have no idea, I have never used it, but something is broke in that newer package you installed [08:29] martinjh99: in sypantic, you can configure that [08:29] Saturn2888: it looks like they make all their money from commercial support, so chances of getting anything like a timely response without paying for support is pretty low [08:29] the system only shows the LTS updates [08:29] i am searching for a program which can manage passwords, i only need username, password and target for the login. this should be an application with a gui and NOT keyring-manager. it should be an application for managing logins like f-spot is managing photos [08:29] Can someone help me? I installed the gfxboot-themes from synaptic, but inside the startupmanager I can't tick "Use bootloader image" [08:29] indus: in any case, I'll be back in a bit if supergrub doesn't work out [08:29] How do I change bootloader theme? [08:29] Dulak: yep. And there doesn't seem to be a better database system. At least not a free one. [08:30] Its a server - No X... Have been looking at do-update-manager will that go from LTS to LTS...? [08:30] Saturn2888: but that error doesn't show up scanning their mailing list archive, so if it's something new.... Also you can see if maybe they have a ubuntu deb of the the newest version you can download and install manually, instead of using the repo [08:30] byerley: so try again with hd0,5 [08:30] martinjh99: what about edit sources.list? [08:30] !info libnpjp2.so [08:30] Package libnpjp2.so does not exist in jaunty [08:30] Dulak: I tried two deb files but they're both for Debian. There isn't any official Ubuntu version so I dunno how I'm even running it [08:30] what do i need prior to compiling other than build-essential? [08:30] martinjh99: and replace dapper with hardy [08:30] Saturn2888: DO NOT install debian files direct in ubuntu [08:31] Supreme I might just do that actually thinking about it.. ;) Probably a lot easier! [08:31] libnpjp2.so is provided by what package? [08:31] indus: oh why? [08:31] !Iinfo libnpjp [08:31] Sorry, I don't know anything about Iinfo libnpjp [08:31] Saturn2888: honestly I wouldn't even bother with a deb, for that I'd probably be using the source and manually installing, so I could update as new releases come out, the repo is lagging behind by a lot [08:31] Saturn2888: well , packaging [08:31] !info libnpjp [08:31] Package libnpjp does not exist in jaunty [08:31] i hope it works [08:31] Saturn2888: there are differences and it will break your system [08:32] i have problem with apt-get [08:32] everything that i try to do i get an error [08:32] Thanks guys [08:32] supreme_: post the error at pastebin [08:32] supreme_: what is the error? http://paste.ubuntu.com/ [08:32] !paste | supreme_ [08:32] supreme_: 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 [08:32] ok [08:33] Dulak: indus: sounds like a good idea. I'll do it from now on soon as I backup these files and go ahead and remove it === root is now known as Guest38091 [08:33] my system is spanish, is there a way to run the command in english ? [08:33] Dulak: Saturn2888:you could always enable proposed repository or backports for newer packages [08:33] Saturn2888: I never use packages for web apps, they tend to update much faster than a repo package, so it's actually easier just to use source and manually update as I need it [08:33] !proposed [08:33] Sorry, I don't know anything about proposed [08:34] bah [08:34] what do i need prior to compiling other than build-essential? [08:34] ubuntu:nothing else [08:34] indus, could i send you a pastebin to see what's missing please? [08:34] ubuntu: you will need some courage though [08:34] :) [08:34] ubuntu ya sure [08:35] indus, lol im on a live cd not to ruin anything with my learning experience ;) [08:35] supreme_: we should still be able to help [08:35] iceroot http://paste.ubuntu.com/220328/ [08:35] Dulak: what do I do after I do this? Restart apache? Think you can help me setup a newer version of ((otrs)) ? [08:35] supreme_: sorry dont speak spain or what that is [08:36] supreme_: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=440870 [08:36] Dulak: YAY! Thank you so much, My site works now! :D [08:36] Saturn2888: yeah probably a restart of apache after the package is removed, as for installing the newest, I've never used it so I'd just be reading the docs on it just like you [08:36] indus, http://pastebin.com/m328a07c0 [08:36] supreme_: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpid/+bug/63450 [08:36] supreme_: found those by googling the error message, usually works :) [08:37] Saturn2888: get the newest source, unpack it, and read the README and/or INSTALL file to start [08:37] Dulak: well I've never compiled anything from source before. Lemme take a look. I'll ask questions as needed [08:37] what package provides libnpjp2.so? [08:37] ubuntu:what is this pastte? [08:37] Kartagis: what does that lib do? [08:38] indus, have you heard of the package called stow? [08:38] Saturn2888: it's a web app, it's not compiled. Read this: http://doc.otrs.org/2.3/en/html/x414.html [08:38] ubuntu nope [08:38] indus, the regular sudo make install has exact same error btw [08:38] indus, it's for java applications in ff, I think === fjordlord_ is now known as fjordlord [08:39] indus, stow is a program with a folder in /usr/local that basically helps u remove apps as easily as if it were managed by a packaging system but without any binaries [08:39] Hello. After a distro-update and then again downgrade (for compatibility reasons of some libraries) I've get a "segmenation fault" most of the time using nautilus and now even when starting a binary. I already did a lot of googling, but don't know what the segemenation fault even is. Does someone know how to track the problem down? [08:39] Saturn2888: you probably have the perl modules part already since you installed from the package, but otherwise it's just copying and putting things in the right places and stuff [08:39] Kartagis: use apt-file to search for the file [08:39] indus, but if that confuses you, ill paste a regular sudo make install and would you be able to tell me what im missing then? [08:39] indus, in fact it would have the same output so i dont see the need [08:39] Kartagis: apt-file will tell you the paket which provides the file [08:40] Boohbah: didn't work,, but im still trying other ways [08:40] indus, here's an easy to understand guide im reading: http://fredbrunel.com/journal/2004/03/stow/ [08:40] ubuntu: its lunch time i will come back later [08:40] iceroot: that is a problem with my apt-get ,when i try to install anything i get that error [08:41] hey indus, see pm [08:41] Dulak: so it would be compatible if I installed a newer version? [08:41] indus, k ill probly be here [08:42] Boohbah: i can't believe that i have to recompile the kernel... i really cant believe it, im searching for another solution [08:42] I keep getting funky error when i try to boot from a thumb drive to install it [08:43] iceroot, does it do a search in the repos? [08:43] supreme_: ipv6 bug i assume [08:43] Kartagis: yes (in the index files) [08:43] Buffer I/O error [08:43] supreme_: you can try a newer kernel from a debian repository [08:43] gogeta: : how ipv6 could affect apt-get or acpi? [08:43] Kartagis: sudo apt-get install apt-file && sudo apt-file update && sudo apt-file search the-file-you-search [08:44] humm [08:44] supreme_: oh diffrent bug [08:44] Dulak: I think my database is gone too? I made a backup. Do you know how to move it? [08:45] Saturn2888: is it a sql dump of a mysql database? [08:45] Boohbah: yeah === sean is now known as Guest83809 === jackedmscl is now known as JackedMscl [08:46] supreme_: i had some crazyness with the genrec kernel to i switched to the array.org netbook kernel being i have a netbook [08:46] Saturn2888: http://www.howtoforge.com/faq/6_4_en.html [08:46] hey [08:48] Boohbah: seems to be working? I dunno. IT didn't throw -- yeah! IT WORKS THANKS :D [08:48] damn.... [08:48] check this http://paste.ubuntu.com/220335/ is about apt-get error [08:49] Saturn2888: excellent [08:49] libnpjp2.so exists on the system but mozilla doesn't recognize it [08:49] i really cannot fix that,,, still trying [08:50] Hey, guys. Does anyone know how to "clear" the result of xrdb -merge .Xresources ? [08:52] Why I am getting this error screenshot: http://download.techdarpan.com/download.php?viminfo.jpg ?? [08:52] lol, i think i fixed renaming /etc/init.d/acpid script and leaving an empty file instead :P [08:53] anirban: i dunno but you need to fix your webserver [08:53] then, after dpkg fixed the problem, i just renamed the acpid_orig to acpid [08:53] I would like to buy a desktop with ubuntu preinstalled or no os, and 3 years NBD on site warranty .... does anyone know whether this is possible (UK)? [08:53] what is /etc/esound/esd.conf responsible for? [08:54] eeos: DELL imo [08:54] BromaxSux: esd configuration, believe it or not :) [08:54] eeos, check Dell and system76 (haven't checked them out myself so can't help more) [08:54] eeos: also have a look at debian.org there is a list with pc-sellers installing linux on them [08:55] iceroot: got a look to Dell, negative .... system76 does not do UK I believe [08:55] BromaxSux: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enlightened_Sound_Daemon [08:55] Boohbah: yep im there. thanks [08:56] Dulak: ok. I downloaded the OTRS2.3.4.tar.gz file. I untarred it. It shows the directory structure. Looks like I can just copy/paste it and then what? That's the EOF. If I run it it might ask me to update the database and stuff. This is really confusing [08:56] iceroot: debian.org, ther eis no UK [08:56] Dulak: oh, I found an upgrading file [08:56] Saturn2888: just follow that, I'd be reading it just like you, I never heard of otrs before tonight [08:57] Dulak: what does *) Stop all your services (e. g. rcotrs stop-force) Mean? [08:57] hi there. yesterday i edited /etc/logrotate.conf and i added an entry for syslog: http://pastebin.com/d7ec86924 its rotated the file, as it now says syslog.conf but its still 410mb so its not compressed it. any ideas please? [08:57] Saturn2888: ummm, I have no idea, I imagine there is a script rcotrs that you can run to stop everything, but I have no idea [08:58] Dulak: same here. [08:58] eeos: hm, yes you are right, there is no uk :( [08:59] now, im leaving, see you, and thanks for all [08:59] Saturn2888: is that http://otrs.org ? if so also check out http://bestpractical.com/rt/ [08:59] iceroot: I have hear about something called techrat or similar .... [08:59] bye [08:59] iceroot: but cannot find them [08:59] Boohbah: ok [08:59] iceroot: ever heard o them? [08:59] Some jerk sent me a .psd image :| Any way I could view that photoshop image file in Ubuntu? [08:59] dragon_: tried inkscape? [08:59] eeos: sorry, never heard of them [08:59] Boohbah: this is like 100 times easier [08:59] libnpjp2.so exists on the system but mozilla doesn't recognize it [08:59] dragon_: maybe gimp? [08:59] eeos: will try [09:00] how can I fix that? [09:00] iceroot: gimp didn't seem to open it automatically, but i'll try that too [09:00] dragon_: GIMP can import it if it's in RGB. If it's CMYK, you might have to find some hoops to jump through [09:00] Boohbah: it says in the wiki "ESD was maintained as part of the GNOME project, but as of April 2009, all ESD modules in Gnome has been ported to libcanberra for event sounds or GStreamer/PulseAudio for everything else."... so if i use jaunty, does it mean the file is a historic file? [09:01] Flannel: thanks. I was lucky that it was RGB. [09:01] iceroot, libnpjp2.so exists on the system but mozilla doesn't recognize it. how can I fix that? [09:01] BromaxSux: yeah, esd is still included for legacy app support [09:01] on pygtk version 2.12.9 this works "button = gtk.ToggleButton('test',False)" but on pygtk version 2.16.1 it no longer works, what do I need to do for it to work? [09:01] Kartagis: hm, isnt *.so something for the kernel? [09:02] Boohbah: i see. thank you again [09:02] iceroot, nope, it says in about:plugins it is for java [09:02] hi! I've installed a PPA for xorg some weeks ago. now my update manager wants to update X11. will my manually installed PPA get lost once I let the update manager update xorg? [09:03] any reason why logrotate wouldnt compress my file if ive got "compress" set> [09:03] AdvoWork: use -d for logrotate (its debug modus) [09:03] moxo: it should still be there.. but if another repository offers a higher version of something it should use that instead [09:03] AdvoWork: with -d it is just a simulation, no action is done [09:04] how do i get fluxbox to start on boot up? [09:04] modifying xinitrc doesn't work [09:04] moxo: then there will be dependencies and so on, of course [09:04] only when i type in startx [09:04] ? [09:05] Slart: the problem is, before the PPA my system was practically unusable, only the PPA fixed it. I can't risk updating xorg if the update overwrites the PPA. I'd have to reinstall my whole system then. [09:05] iceroot, the thing is though, its rotated, but not compressed, any reason why it wouldnt? [09:06] moxo: then don't update.. or use "pinning".. I think you can basically tell apt to not update xorg... not sure how, though [09:06] AdvoWork: run logrotate in debug-modus and check for errors while compress [09:06] Slart, moxo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto [09:06] Flannel: ah, thanks [09:06] Slart, Flannel: thank you [09:07] Boohbah: for This RT thing, the apt-get line shows: apt-get install request-tracker3.4 rt3.4-apache2 rt3.4-clients apache2-doc postfix postgresql postgresql-doc-7.4 lynx libdbd-pg-perl.

[09:14] how to add mod_ssl module for SSL websites in Apache ? [09:14] thx prince_jammys! [09:15] painted: WRONG [09:15] anirban: sudo a2enmod mod_ssl [09:15] painted: (1,0) [09:15] anirban: sudo a2enmod for a list of all mods you can enable [09:15] painted: a=0, b=1, and so on for the first number. the second is the number at the end (sdb1) minus one. [09:16] so b1 is (1,0) [09:16] dragon_: how is it going? [09:16] iceroot: I am speking to one of dell's offline advisors [09:16] eeos: going good. [09:17] eeos: good luck [09:18] dragon_: gimp or inkscape? [09:18] eeos: gimp [09:18] Hi [09:19] Hello #Ubuntu. I am trying to share my wireless internet connection with another computer I installed Debian on via LAN. [09:19] how do I perform a hd integrity test with a ubuntu live cd? [09:19] !fsck | mcbane [09:19] mcbane: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [09:19] thanks dragon_ [09:19] When I plug in the Cat5 between my router and my computer, I lose my wireless connectivity. [09:21] I know what u mean is it simmilar problem when u plug usb cable? [09:21] I no longer get a splash screen on boot. How would I fix this? And does anyone know where to get bootloader images? [09:22] barqers, we will need more information, especially along the lines of versions [09:22] Hey guys, quick question, the messages icon in the panel, you know, the one which indicates that you have a new message waiting for you (indicated by a letter), what program controls that? Because it seems to have disappeared.. [09:22] www.gnome-look.org [09:23] iceroot, that seemed to work.. [09:23] Is Ubuntu 8.04.2 IPv6 compatible? [09:23] AdvoWork: fine :) [09:23] Saturn2888: yes [09:24] elky: Okay I was trying to get the BlackChrome theme working. I'm running Ubuntu 9.04. I installed startup manager, located the *.so file, added it, and rebooted, but now I only get text! I set resolution to 1024x768 24bits of colour. [09:24] Saturn2888: linux itself has been capable of using native ipv6 for a long time [09:24] lstarnes: cool. I just wanna know if I can use it on my webserver [09:25] Saturn2888: your server software most likely supports it [09:25] Saturn2888: although sometimes a little extra configuration is needed === service is now known as Guest62929 [09:25] i need a program that is able to find deleted files from a windows recovered disk, any ideas? [09:25] iceroot, when it runs, the firsttime, should it rotate that day, or the following day? === Guest62929 is now known as xbmc666 [09:26] as it ran last night, rotated but not compressed, now its rotated/compressed [09:26] AdvoWork: rotate that day (as normal) [09:26] lstarnes: ah ok [09:27] iceroot, so is it working as it should or? :S [09:27] AdvoWork: yes :) looks good [09:27] AdvoWork: use a cronjob for logrotate [09:27] elky: Any ideas? I'm confused because it says it supports 1024x768 resolution [09:28] iceroot, but shouldnt logrotate run automatically on the dailycron? [09:28] AdvoWork: maybe, dont know [09:28] AdvoWork: have a look there [09:29] i need a program that is able to find deleted files from a windows recovered disk, any ideas? [09:29] does anyone have experience setting up apache to do auth via pam to a mysql server? [09:29] running on ubuntu here [09:30] 'ello.

[09:30] barqers, i dont know anything about that sort of customisation, sorry. i have no idea why a theme would want you to put a *.so file into anywhere, it sounds like a silly thing to do to me. [09:30] If i run 'sudo openvpn --config /path/to/ovpn/file' - everything works nicely [09:30] Hello. Is this the right place to ask about Ubuntu Server?

I have a problem sending and receiving mails, i can't do it using my laptop wlan interface, but it works normaly if I use a gsm conection.

If I can't to connect via telnet to my mail server too, but if I do it with another laptop it works correctly, don't have any firewall running or something like that. ¿what's happening? ¿what can I do? Thanks [10:03] indus, F****** typos [10:04] I'm trying to install/upgrade ubuntu on a computer that already has the previous version. First I tried to upgrade using the Internet, which failed. Then I tried using a new disk to upgrade from, and that didn't work. So then I tried doing a fresh install and that didn't work. [10:04] duckwars: isn't X multiuser/network transparent by default? so you can login to a remote computer just using X? [10:05] promethean: that doesnt make sense, how did a fresh install fail? [10:05] dragon_: Thanks for that , but the answer to my question is not on that page. I would likle to make it so that any files created under /var/log have default permissions of 600... [10:05] you mean xwindows works on ubuntu by default? My question is in ubunut when going to System -> Administration -> Login Window [10:06] then hit the "remote" tab it gives an option for style [10:06] you can open a ssh X session with that, right ? [10:06] remote login disabled is the usual one, but what happens if I make that remote login available? [10:06] duckwars: you are running X windows when you're using gnome in ubuntu [10:06] is that talking about x windows? [10:06] oh [10:06] what kind of remote login is it referring to then? [10:07] duckwars: gnome is just the shiny stuff on top of X.. if I understand things correctly [10:07] Slart: I sometimes log into a remote X server with ssh -X, it is usually pretty slow though [10:07] gabkdlly: mm.. I've used that for running remote apps.. as you said.. it isn't fast nor network efficient.. but it works [10:08] does anyone know the default os x xwindows client? is it this x11 program?

[10:21] TriMe: Ask your question in the channel, I'm not on Ubuntu at the minute, so would be difficult to talk you through anything, apart from the initial setup, I've not had to do anything with it [10:22] weeee [10:22] DJones: Thanks mate.

[10:41] jengc0il: do you use the same plugin-port for the headphones and the boxes? [10:42] How do I install the newer Firefox 3.5? [10:43] TuxedoBond: packagename: firefox-3.5 [10:43] TuxedoBond: so sudo aptitude install firefox-3.5 should be fine [10:43] !ff35 [10:43] 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 [10:43] What is the Firefox with gnome package? [10:44] aptitude search firefox and you see all the packages with firefox [10:44] monky, does my filesystem need to be mounted when I use fsck? [10:44] promethean: fsck only works with unmounted filesystems. [10:44] Specikfically the firefox-3.1-gnome-support package [10:45] I mean what is it for? [10:45] i've got a Hauppauge WinTV Nova TD-500 remote, but i dunno how to get it to work, any ideas? [10:45] promethean: you can force a fsck at boot if you need to, though im not sure howto of the top of my heak [10:45] s/heak/head [10:46] indus, fail, skype only uses one device [10:46] This is an extension to Firefox that allows it to use protocol handlers from GnomeVFS, such as smb or sftp, and other GNOME [10:46] integration features. [10:46] moncky, I am able to boot up into ubuntu [10:46] indus, no matter what I choose in gstreamer-properties [10:47] promethean: so have you been able to upgrade with apt-get dist-upgrade? [10:47] you can get a package descritption by typing aptitude show [10:47] schmiedc: yeah [10:47] i mean internal speaker [10:48] schmiedc: externa speaker / headphone still not function [10:48] moncky, I didn't try with apt-get, but it it failed to upgrade using the upgrade manager [10:48] jengc0il: hmm no idea [10:49] i assume you have checked mute, power etc [10:49] promethean: did it give you an error message? [10:49] moncky, yes [10:49] schmiedc: thanks [10:50] promethean: what did it say? [10:50] hey dudes, trying to update to karmic, but running sudo do-release-upgrade says "no new release found" [10:50] jengc0il: no problem [10:50] Apparently Firefox 3.5 is installed, yet my quick launch icon on the top bar opens Firefox 3.1. What's up? [10:50] It keeps old versions on the system even after updates? [10:51] !ff35 | TuxedoBond [10:51] TuxedoBond: 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 [10:51] i've got a Hauppauge WinTV Nova TD-500 remote, but i dunno how to get it to work, any ideas? [10:51] moncky, I believe it said that I had broken packages, which is why I then tried to fix them, and failed. [10:51] TuxedoBond: On Jaunty, it won't replace 3.0 unless you use something like Ubuntuzilla. (Which always gets you the latest version, but it can create some font problems.) [10:52] promethean: go to a terminal and type sudo atp-get update [10:52] Does it not replace old versions of other software or does it only do this with Firefox? [10:53] i guess it depends on the packages [10:53] TuxedoBond: It's only Firefox 3.0 that is not replaced by 3.5 -- read http://is.gd/1reB3 , like I told you [10:53] promethean: then sudo apt-get check [10:53] silverraindog: are u silvernode? [10:53] grawity: for which packages does the !... works? [10:53] moncky, thanks, I will. I'll have to go off line on this computer to update that one. [10:54] promethean: also have a look at the -f option in apto [10:54] does ubuntu 8.04.3 come w/ext4 fs? [10:54] Oh, ok. [10:54] Thanks for the help. [10:54] schmiedc: The !commands aren't really related to packages. [10:54] !ubottu > schmiedc [10:54] schmiedc, please see my private message [10:54] it comes with whatever the kernel has [10:54] sebr: sudo upate-manager -d [10:54] grawity: thx [10:55] TuxedoBond: If you want to really update Firefox to the latest (3.5.1 actually), get the Ubuntuzilla tool. [10:55] can i have 8.04 w/ext4. i really like how its fast. [10:55] moncky, apto? [10:55] sebr: karmic is unreleased version so wont show in update manager [10:55] what does that do? [10:56] jaminwong: yes you can. do you have linux installed now? [10:56] yes nsadmin [10:56] i am going to do a clean install. [10:56] moncky, thanks for the help. [10:56] do you have ext4s now? [10:56] Good time! I am experiencing random repeating OS freeses on Acer Aspire One netbook with a frequency about one day. How to capture data to make a bug report? Thanks! [10:57] i guess i won't be b/c 8.04 has only ext3 [10:57] I think ext4 was finished long after 8.04 was released [10:57] if worst comes to worst and no install kernel has ext4, then install it on a very small partition then upgrade the kernel then make the ext4s and copy over [10:58] hmmm... good. plan.. thanks nsadmin [10:58] i think that will work too.. [10:58] word to the wise tho: you want everyone else to test this (new) partition type for at least 6 months [10:59] indus: nope [11:03] how to find a file recursiv in a dir, which contains foo? [11:04] man find [11:04] Hello everybody [11:04] i am new to the Linux [11:04] ok [11:04] iceroot: grep -r "foo" directory [11:04] !ask|jacky [11:04] jacky: 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. :-) [11:04] nsadmin: not the filename, the content... [11:05] grawity: thx === eus is now known as eusu_kefuin [11:05] jacksy: http://tldp.org [11:05] i want to know how to set up a domain controller in a home with 2 pc [11:06] What kind of a domain controller? [11:06] local domain controller so that both the clients can logged in to that domain [11:07] and save their files [11:07] where's the driftfile for the ntp package kept by default? [11:07] jacksy: as a file server? [11:07] the clients have to use windows? [11:07] jacksy: You must mean something like Active Directory? Linux doesn't have that - it just uses plain LDAP, Kerberos, Samba... [11:08] jacksy: What OS are the client computers running? [11:08] not exactly as a file server with user group policy [11:08] the clients have to use windows? [11:08] client is ubuntu 8.1 and windows XP [11:08] You mean 8.10? [11:09] and the server is ubuntu 9.0 [11:09] yes [11:09] ...and 9.04 [11:09] jacksy: have a look at freeNAS or openfiler [11:09] where can i get that [11:09] i think that is the closest you will get for an out the box system to do that kind of thing [11:09] jacksy: try google [11:10] if you REALLY want a windows domain controller... you could also look at samba, but note, there's a lot of ways of doing file services [11:10] jacksy: To create a Windows-accessible file server, install 'samba'. For centralized logins, Linux uses LDAP, but Windows doesn't really support that. (There are ways to create a Linux Domain Controller for AD, but I don't think they're very reliable.) [11:11] grawity: yeah there are some guys working on an open version of exchange but its way off [11:11] so could u plz help me out what should be the easiest way [11:11] moncky: Exchange and ActiveDirectory DC are unrelated. [11:11] FYI a few of us ubunter users who like motorbikes have started #freebikers for people who like FLOSS and motorcycles :) [11:12] moncky: why do they want an open version of exchange (just want to know why they are not putting it in to say postfix or something like that, basicaly just curious) [11:12] silverraindog: Um, because Exchange is more than mail? [11:12] is it possible that users will logged in that domain controller and access intrenet from that domain controller [11:13] silverraindog: For example, my phone can sync emails/calendar/contacts with an Exchange server. Sure, it's possible with IMAP and SyncML, but that's harder to configure for the end user. [11:13] hey, how to do-release-upgrade using local mirror / repo ? [11:14] the local mirror is ready to go? [11:14] e-frame : Which version are you using right now [11:14] silverraindog: there are several things the exchange does in one package, postfix will do mail but not calendering, we have an exchange server in the office which means I am having to use windows here because I *need* to use outlook [11:14] upgrading gutsy to hardy-LTS [11:15] moncky: Doesn't Evolution work with Exchange? [11:15] afaik there is no more gutsy repo [11:15] e-frame : Can't you just use update manager [11:15] Blizzerand: afaik there is no more gutsy repo [11:15] Ah sorry didn't read that [11:15] grawity: yeah but its quite messy, it basically pulls the mail from the raw output of the web interface, [11:16] e-frame, upgrade is only possible form LT - to LT directly [11:16] grawity: which is fine for mail, but seems to do wierd stuff to the calander and todo lists [11:16] Hi I have a question regarding Evince (The PDF reader that comes with UBUNTU). My problem is for printing multiple pages onto one sheet of paper. I can not seem to be able to control the order they appear. [11:16] DeannaT2: but now it is working but using archive.ubuntu.com not my local repo [11:16] moncky: O_o I see... I thought it supported the actual sync protocol. [11:17] do i have to edit sources.list first ? [11:17] e-frame, yes i was reading wrong, i think gutsy upgrade to hardy is possible, there is no other version between gutsy and hardy [11:18] grawity: not unless its been implemented when i havent been looking, I use mutt :D [11:18] e-frame, but if possible, new-install-hardy will be always better *think* [11:18] DeannaT2: you should download hardy 8.04.3 its latest [11:18] DeannaT2: latest LTS [11:18] i have hardy, yes [11:18] DeannaT2: i'm too lazy to re-configure it after fresh install [11:18] DeannaT2: ok whats the question [11:19] indus : e-frame , wants to upgrade Ubuntu from gusty to hardy [11:19] indus, it was e-frames question how to upgrade gutsy to hardy [11:19] indus: i asked the question (i think) [11:19] lol [11:20] e-frame: aah sorry, dont you see an upgrade option to 8.04 in update manager? [11:20] indus: it's ubuntu server [11:20] no gui [11:20] e-frame: ok try sudo update-manager -d [11:20] indus: it's already running with sudo do-release-upgrade [11:21] indus: but since it's not using my local repo, it takes too long to finish [11:21] indus: my question was: how to do-release-upgrade using local mirror / repo ? [11:21] e-frame: doh! [11:22] e-frame: which mirror [11:22] e-frame: btw, if it makes any difference to you, you could install the x client libs and x clients on your server, so that you can run them on the server and have them display on another machine that has an x server [11:22] e-frame : Try this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=763925 [11:22] Not sure though I didn't read it [11:22] e-frame: i believe the gutsy repos anyway dont exist now, so its good to do a fresh install [11:22] nsadmin: don't want to install any X on the server ^^ [11:23] ah.. disappointing.. looks like i have to go back to windows to do this job.. so much promise, gone in the blink of an eye lmao === unixguru is now known as hackoo [11:23] Mushrooms : So how could *we* help you [11:23] moncky: what about KDE mail ? [11:23] indus: that's why i use "do-release-upgrade" and it's downloading hardy's files from far away server [11:24] hello, I hve problem installing xvidcap on ubuntu. the package gets insall with sudo apt-get install but it does not capture sound. I had the problem in hardy also but had compiled with source. but now in 9.04 i can't compile it because xmu is missing and there is no package called xmu [11:24] indus: i am thinking of using local repo / mirror. they also have hardy on them [11:24] Blizzerand: my question was above ^.. but people didn't respond, so i assume no one could help [11:24] kk_jaunti: so you have no problem installing... or does apt-get return an error? [11:25] Mushrooms : Ah .... Could you be a little more specific , Sorry [11:26] kk_jaunti: to compile you may need to install libxmu-dev [11:26] silverraindog: I generally try to avoid KDE things [11:26] specific... informative... concise... complete... on-topic... [11:26] all good things... put em together, you get... [11:26] SICCO! [11:26] legend2440: so sudo apt-get install libxmu-dev would do is it? [11:26] e-frame, it will need a lot of time, from local mirror or from far-away-mirror [11:27] moncky: aaah, we are moving to exchange, hence why i was asking [11:27] kk_jaunti: yes [11:27] DeannaT2: 1 hour remains [11:27] Blizzerand: I try to print 4 'slides' to 1 page of paper, let's say we hold a piece of paper in landscape, and starting from the top left hand corner we have "page 1" then top right hand corner, page 2, bottom left, page 3. and finally bottom right, page 4. [11:27] not too long ^^ [11:27] e-frame, yes [11:27] e-frame : Back up all your data and make a fresh install of Jaunty or whatever [11:27] before wah happens? [11:27] Blizzerand: that's the plan Z [11:28] Blizzerand: but no matter what I try to do, it always prints, Page1 in the bottom left position, page 2 in the bottom right, page 3 in the upper left, and page 4 in the upper right. [11:28] e-frame : Well good luck then [11:28] Blizzerand, nsadmin, DeannaT2 and all. thx anyway. i'll tell you when it's done [11:29] e-frame, yes good luck, it was doing well in my system from gutsy to hardy [11:29] Mushrooms : Ah thats something I am not much sure of . As a last resort you could try ubuntu forums [11:29] DeannaT2: yeah. from hardy i will only upgrade to the next LTS :) [11:29] Mushrooms : http://ubuntuforums.org/index.php [11:30] They are much more helpful [11:30] help please; with what app to watch blueray and dvd movies? [11:30] e-frame, oh oh --i thougt hardy was the latest LTS [11:30] DeannaT2: God no. [11:30] Blizzerand: I have to manually specify the page numbers like 3,1,4,2,7,5,8,6 and so forth.. >.< this is not scalable if i have very large documents lol.. guess i have to move back to windows for this one [11:31] richardcavell, whats the name of the next one? [11:31] Mushrooms : Have you tried Ubuntu forums [11:31] DeannaT2: hardy was the first LTS i knew. but actually 6.06 was also LTS (correct me if i'm wrong) [11:31] Mushrooms: Have you tried installing another PDF reader? (epdfview, for example, or the Adobe Reader) [11:32] Mushrooms : Or try using an other pdf viewers but don't quit [11:33] DeannaT2: 10.04 [11:33] how to get a webcam to work in ubuntu [11:33] i have acer aspire 5630 [11:33] grawity: Blizzerand: yeah that is plausible, but it just seems easier to load onto the windows computer and print from there instead of having to boot up synaptic and then looking for another reader. or going onto the forums [11:33] DeannaT2: The LTS releases are 6.06 (Dapper Drak), 8.04 (Hardy Heron) and 10.04 (unnamed) [11:33] Mushrooms : Its your choice though [11:34] Blizzerand: lol i looked on the forum, some poor guy wasted 3 hours [11:34] But does LTS really matter? Do you believe that the LTS releases get security updates that don't make their way to the current distro? [11:35] 6.06 is Drapper Drake by the way - my typo [11:35] richardcavell, thanks but 10.04 will come [11:35] DeannaT2: If you're keen on LTS, then yes, it's scheduled so barring a disaster it will come. [11:35] woops sorry accidentally quit [11:36] hope i didn't miss anything [11:36] Mushrooms: mate, we gave away all the secrets while you were gone [11:37] lol [11:37] Hello! I have quesion about notification daemon. I've updated my ubuntu 8.10 to 9.04 and notification-properties dont work for me.(I cant change popup location on the workspace for stack notifications) === ripps_ is now known as ripps [11:37] brb [11:37] richardcavell: ahh too bad, i thought this place was keen on converting windows users to ubuntu / linux users [11:37] * e-frame ordering some food :p [11:38] Mushrooms: While you were gone, I gave everyone the link to download an update that fixes all bugs, speeds up your computer by 30%, and has a special supervisor that prevents you from doing anything that could fsck your system. [11:38] I find out on the page(http://trac.galago-project.org/wiki/InstallingGalago#introduction) paragraph "4.3 Setting up dbus-launch". Can anybody spent some time for me? [11:39] richardcavell: right. [11:39] richardcavell: [11:39] ciao a tutti! [11:41] Has anyone here been able to play Half-Life either under Wine or VBox? [11:41] richardcavell: yeah i have, using the above fix you provided while i was gone [11:41] LOL. [11:42] richardcavell, If you can buy HalfLife you can buy WinXP. [11:42] !appdb | richardcavell [11:42] richardcavell: 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 [11:43] i have cs cz runs under wine ^^ [11:43] Besogon: That's probably true. But I lack hard disk space. I'm aware of the appDB, but I can't get the thing to work under 64-bit 9.04. I filed a report to appDB. [11:43] richardcavell: wfm with no issues, try #winehq [11:43] why dosent my webcsam work in ubuntu..i have a acer aspire 563 [11:43] kalle23: Webcam support under Ubuntu seems to be pretty hit and miss. [11:44] seems like that [11:44] jrib: I can't really debug it because it makes my computer to strange things. It's certainly not the sort of thing that should tax my system performance-wise. [11:45] richardcavell: strange thing to say, but ok [11:45] Hello! How does the X set up? "That is, whether you're using .xinitrc, .Xclients, .xsession, etc." So what do we use? [11:45] Besogon: what do you want to do? [11:46] jrib: The opening videos don't play (seems to be a common issue with Wine/Half-life), I get mad flickering, incorrect zoom, can't change video options, get sound repeating itself, and that's only up to the first menu! [11:46] Hi, I am using Ubuntu Jaunty and the problem I am facing is it clears the history on every reboot. Can anyone tell me how to avoid this? [11:46] jrib, I find out on the page(http://trac.galago-project.org/wiki/InstallingGalago#introduction) paragraph "4.3 Setting up dbus-launch". PS: my notification systems not works right [11:47] richardcavell: well you can change the video options with the command you use to execute it (as in appdb) [11:47] tontos ja ja ja ja!!!!1 [11:47] jrib: I know. But I seriously end up having to do a hard reset half the time and it really tests my patience. I've spent days trying to get it to work. [11:48] jrib: I want to see if I can get it installed on Windows 7 [11:48] Has anyone chainloaded Windows 7 with GRUB/Ubuntu? I presume it works, but can anyone confirm it? [11:48] you could also make distclean [11:49] Besogon: galago is in the repositories. What is you actual question though? Do you want to install galago? Or do you want to troubleshoot your notifications? [11:50] hi, i want to mount a ext4 partition in my fstab file.. how can i do this? i cant find an example for mounting an ext4 filesystem [11:51] Hello Room [11:51] pw-toxic: it is mounted just like an ext3, but with 'ext4' instead [11:51] pw-toxic: I think it would be the same as any other partition - just with "ext4" as filesystem. [11:52] jrib, Im not install galago yet. (At first I want to know what is with my D-bus) Im wondering about string "exec dbus-launch --exit-with-session gnome-session". Where is that? [11:52] th0r, i even dont know how to do it with ext3 .. i can mount ntfs and fat but i dont know how to mount ext3 or ext4 [11:52] Besogon: ask what you are actually trying to solve please [11:52] pw-toxic: it's usually the same. [11:52] i installed Mac4Lin_v1.0 on Ubuntu 9.04 it installed fine...After uninstalling i am getting "Could not start the X-Server" error [11:52] richardcavell: but should i t work in wine or is it often that webcams doesnt work in ubuntu? [11:53] Richardcavell:im pretty new in ubuntu [11:53] jrib, I've updated my ubuntu 8.10 to 9.04 and notification-properties dont work for me.(I cant change popup location on the workspace for stack notifications) [11:53] grawity, but he says wrong fs type, bad option, bad superlobck on /dev/sc2 [11:53] i tried Recovery Mode during bootup & select Option Xfix ...but problem is not solved ??? [11:53] Besogon: that's most likely because the notifications system changed to notify-osd [11:54] kalle23, what webcam do you use? [11:54] jrib, What should I do?

(just copy the libflashplayer.so to ~/.mozilla/plugins/) [12:59] sarmisak: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html [13:00] aytekin: connecting a device to the usb port will determine if the usb port is working properly [13:01] jrib: flash player not in repos ?

[13:51] I'm running Xubuntu 9.04, I have a Canon MP610 printer. It prints on paper and scans okay. As advised everywhere, I have set up a second printer to print to cd. The media is set as "cd", the source is the "cd tray", I'm using glabels with a cd template, and when I hit "print" the printer lights up, a notice appears in my task bar as saying the job is completed but nothing prints. Has anyone experienced this and what did they do to fix it? [13:52] hello [13:52] Boohbah: isn't there any way to pass this configure options to the apt-get install command without compileing the source? [13:52] wassup people? [13:53] homebrewcider, I have not but I dont have glabels installed and I generally dont print cd labes however if no one here can help you might want to try #linux channel [13:53] asfjio: no [13:53] ok [13:53] Hello, trying to setup a simple PPTP VPN server on Ubuntu Server 9.04 using pptpd. I get connected and all appears to be well, but my clients can't access the internet when connected. Does anyone know what conf file pptpd uses to setup the internet routing in a case like this? [13:54] My guess is I have just missed a step somewhere [13:54] would it be ok if i create tarball of current / on ubuntu machine and then unpack it on the identical machine and sure create mbr and all that stuff.. would it work? [13:54] time i try to boot from a thumbdrive i get error after al ittle bit othe the boot screen [13:54] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion [13:55] 3.5 will be installed along side 3.0 [13:55] samek: sure [13:56] Does anyone here know how to properly install this theme on Ubuntu?

I am trying to share my wireless internet connection via LAN with another computer I installed Debian on [13:57] When I plug in the Cat5 between my router and my computer, I lose my wireless connectivity.

[13:57] asfjio: btw, this is what gentoo is good at, conditional library support [13:57] Dekko, ok you have to right click that pacakge you downloaded and "Extract here" [13:58] oskar- that's it.. duh why didn't I think of that, thanks for reminding me.. I don't believe it is [13:58] Dday: I would read that page before continuing with FF3.5 and decide for yourself, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion [13:58] Dekko, inside that new folder you will find the eGTK.deb package [13:58] samek: 'hostname', /etc/hosts, /etc/hostname [13:58] Dekko, dl the zip file, extract to where you downloaded it, then drag the tar.gz to the theme manager [13:58] okay thanks Galbadore [13:58] i'm coming from gentoo distro and there is all the configuration located in /etc/conf.d/ does ubuntu has something familiar? [13:58] Dekko, open a terminal cd to the location of that folder if on the desktop type cd Desktop [13:59] hello, sudo by default doesnt show your password as you type, how do you configure it to do so [13:59] samek: yes, /etc/hostname [13:59] ok great [13:59] thanks [13:59] Dekko, then cd into that folder [13:59] michalski-bj, you don't [13:59] oskar - Thanks, that was it.. Forgot to put forwading in there.. [13:59] Dekko, then sudo dpkd -i eGTK.deb [13:59] Halitech: ... [14:00] are there any other stuff that i have to be carefull about this kind of installation Boohbah ? [14:00] Dekko, sorry that was wrong sudo dpkg -i eGTK.deb [14:00] michalski-bj, its a security feature to prvent some nosy people from looking over your shoulder and at least knowing how many letters are in your password [14:00] samek: yes, be careful that you save filesystem attributes and permissions exactly [14:00] samek: this is easy if you use tar [14:00] coz_ That far I got with installing it - but it does not show up under the themes selector in "Appearance" [14:01] !ubuntu [14:01] Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com [14:01] Dekko, the other way is to open system/preferences/appearance and drag the eGTK_0.9.9.14.tar.gz package onto that window [14:01] Halitech: so sudo has 0 support for showing your password (*) as you type... [14:01] michalski-bj, correct [14:01] michalski-bj: Why would you want it to? [14:01] coz: does it install for you? so you can use it?? [14:01] Dekko, ok well I cant install it here today because I just installed kubuntu so maybe someone on gnome can lend a hand with t his one [14:02] coz_ okay well big thanks for your assistance anyways. [14:02] hey anyone here use Cairo-Dock??? :: i am having problems with the latest version, i can only use the standard profile, and its shit, and the web site is ghey its not even in english. [14:02] anonbadger: many of the users here are windows users...also, as a security precaution everyone here is required to have a 14 charachter password... [14:02] Dekko, just drag the tar.gz [14:02] Boohbah: aha ok, thanks for the info :) [14:02] bazhang: But the theme still does not show up ..... [14:03] In the theme selector. [14:03] anonbadger: so it gets difficult to type :P [14:03] Dekko, it asked me if I wanted to enable it [14:03] bazhang and did it work? ;-) [14:03] Dekko, yep [14:03] Will try again then. [14:04] Dekko, not sure what the deb is for, will investigate , perhaps the readme has some clues :) [14:04] michalski-bj: I see. [14:04] I used synaptic package manager to install Epiphany 'n I can't find it in the menu's....tried running it from Alt F2, nothing.....HELP please! :) [14:04] bazhang it does not work here for me. [14:05] I drag it and then choose to switch to it but nothing happens. [14:05] nope, just what coz_ and I were saying Dekko , one of those two options is it [14:05] Chiselhuk: try running it from gnome-terminal or the likes [14:05] I am using 9.04 BTW [14:05] Jaunty Jackalope [14:05] brb going to be afk for a snack. [14:05] 换 pidgin [14:06] afternoon tea :) [14:06] hi all [14:06] Chiselhuk_Plus1, did you install the browser? last time I looked there was epiphany and epiphany-browser [14:06] Chiselhuk: because in a alt-F2 environment, you cant start X applications, and it probably just missing from the menu, you'll need to open up the menu editor and add it [14:06] Halitech: I selected the browser one... [14:07] Dekko, same thing here, dragging it and installing it and no change, then reverting to another and re-dragging (and getting an error) installed it [14:07] Chiselhuk_Plus1: see my advice above, I mistyped your user name :P [14:07] how to know if video card driver is installed? [14:07] Chiselhuk_Plus1, okay, then probably just need to add it to the menu [14:07] Chiselhuk_Plus1, tried with what command [14:08] michalski-bj, alt-F2 just brings up the run window, not a virtual terminal [14:08] !find epiphany [14:08] Found: epiphany-browser, epiphany-browser-data, epiphany-browser-dbg, epiphany-browser-dev, epiphany-extensions (and 4 others) [14:08] bazhang: I just typed ephiphany on the command line! I don't know much u know. :( [14:08] Chiselhuk_Plus1, try alt f2 epiphany-browser [14:08] Halitech:..wierd, it doesnt on mine [14:09] bazhang: Are you available for marriage? :) [14:09] michalski-bj, you doing alt or ctrl F2? [14:09] When you're in the GUI, you need to use Ctrl-Alt-Fx, not just Alt-Fx, to switch to virtual consoles. [14:09] aaaw. accidently i quit irssi irc client. someone answered to my question but i didnt saw becouse of mis-quit. i was asking how to know if video card driver is installed? [14:09] Halitech, alt thank you [14:10] bazhang: It worked, thank you!!! :) [14:10] michalski-bj, wierd, works on all my machines [14:10] on shiretoko, the "Applications" word on the lower left of facebook doesnt come out. any idea why? :) [14:10] Chiselhuk_Plus1, is it showing in your menu? [14:10] oops [14:10] Halitech, but my system has been...enhanced with alot of additional security things, so we may have removed it [14:11] Kangaroo: lspci [14:11] have to go [14:11] cy'all [14:11] how to know if video card driver is installed? [14:15] i think [14:16] Anybody care to try and help me get my network interfaces to go up at boot time using ifup? [14:16] It's not working as it should right now. And I had it working on 8.04 before upgrading [14:17] cudev.... you should be checking your /etc/interfaces file [14:17] try making a manual entry for your wireless... with the SID and other details in it [14:17] cudev: /etc/network/interfaces [14:18] /join #gentoo-chat [14:18] My interfaces file: http://paste.ubuntu.com/219987/ [14:18] But only connect is up at boot [14:19] are you trying to get the wifi or ethernet.... ? [14:19] balajint: they are all wired cards. no wireless [14:19] oh [14:20] hm... [14:21] If I do ifconfig, only connect and lo show up, but they appear using ifconfig -a [14:25] I also get a message repeatedly after boot stating "* Stopping NTP server ntpd " and then followed by " * Starting NTP server ntpd". I think it is related to ifup not working. [14:30] hi, I ran the xubuntu live cd without a problem on my Lenovo thinkpad T61... I just installed it... and now the touchpad doesn't work. [14:30] Any ideas? [14:31] test [14:32] Меня видно? [14:32] Парни, меня видно? [14:32] Can I sym link a script into init.d or does it have to be a copy? [14:33] Question, what would offer advanced incremental backup software(software prunes, daily, weekly, monthly prunes/backups) except bacula? [14:33] bnmrrs: symlink should work but why wouldn't you put it in /etc/init.d? [14:33] Panneq: probably every commercial backup product [14:34] Panneq: I like rsnapshot, don't know what you mean by "prunes" [14:34] Panneq: backuppc [14:34] :) [14:34] Меня видно? [14:34] bnmrrs: you should be putting all boot time scripts in init.d, and then symlinking to them from /etc/rc_.d/ [14:34] Boohbah: i compiled the ffmpeg with --enable-libmp3lame, i also do apt-get install liblame-dev, but i still got "Unknown codec 'libmp3lame'". do i need to install another libraries? [14:34] How can I install those php extensions ... http://download.techdarpan.com/download.php?ScreenShot003.jpg [14:35] Example, /etc/rc0.d/ stores all things that get run when halt is called [14:35] jrib, The file is a script that daemonizes some php workers on startup. I'd like to symlink it so that I can still manage it with svn [14:35] bnmrrs: I see [14:35] When I try to VNC into my 9.04 desktop i just get a black screen. Any ideas? === kb is now known as Guest35612 [14:35] Thanks znag jrib mgolisch, jrib: prunes, I would like to backup daily, and at the end of the week remove every backup, and use the last one for a weekly backup. [14:36] Panneq: yeah, that's how rsnapshot works then [14:36] irc.webchat.org [14:36] what could cause all my network interfaces to be gone? [14:36] i have nothing but lo [14:37] how come you're on here then linduxed [14:37] linduxed: What were you doing when you broke it? [14:37] did you install any weird software packages lately ? [14:37] linduxed: /etc/init.d/networking restart ? [14:37] linduxed: do they show up when you run "ifconfig -a"? [14:38] Panneq: some people have more than one computer :) [14:38] cudev: nope [14:38] true Boohbah, my bad ^^ [14:38] Boohbah: still nothing [14:39] qwyeth: nothing [14:39] qwyeth: only thing i changed in the system was.. [14:39] linduxed: Please post the output of dmesg | grep eth and also the contents of /etc/network/interfaces [14:39] qwyeth: w8 a minute... [14:39] linduxed, cat /etc/network/interfaces [14:39] qwyeth: i updated the kernel! [14:39] lol [14:39] back people :) [14:39] Oo. You can boot into the old kernel with a grub option [14:40] qwyeth: that would suck if the current kernel cant handle any network interfaces... [14:40] from which kernel to which kernel [14:40] linduxed: it should be able to, make sure the driver modules that support your NICs are loaded [14:40] from 2.6.28-13 to -14 [14:40] but a minor version upgrade shouldn't break like that/ [14:40] well it sure does [14:41] im rebooting the comp now [14:41] ......... [14:41] ill see if that will help [14:41] picking the -13 now... === Fatsas is now known as Eleinos [14:41] linduxed: I would boot into the old kernel and check out what module it was using for eth0 [14:42] then try to load the module with the new kernel [14:42] qwyeth: if it works when it boots up then thats really bad [14:42] it was an autoupdate [14:43] linduxed: yea, autoupdates that break networking are bad [14:43] ok false alarm [14:43] its apparently my comp [14:43] stupid hog [14:43] I compiled a kernel. how do I clean up the temp files (binary files) that were generated during the compilation process? [14:44] linduxed: that sounds almost like this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/399785 [14:45] linduxed: Oh, sweet. [14:45] Are there any good programs out there that allow you to configer the usage of your batery? Like howmuch brightness when it is discharging, etc [14:45] qwyeth: the only problem is that i still cant see it [14:45] qwyeth: i have no net devices [14:46] linduxed: OK, so you rebooted into the old kernel and you still have no net devices? [14:46] nope [14:46] damn can of a computer is most likely breaking up [14:47] got it back from repairs 5 days ago... [14:47] do lsmod to see what drivers your kernel is loading [14:48] howdy all - is there a way to view the wireless passwords i have stored? i use wicd manager [14:49] linduxed: One thing you might try is to boot to a live CD and see if your device loads... if it doesn't you probably have a hardware problem. [14:50] how to know if video card driver is installed? [14:51] Anyone here use Konversation and knows how to tell me how to disable all the "... has left the server/channel" etc messages?

[14:59] om26er, sudo mount /dev/sda3 /media/windows === sal is now known as Guest98795 [15:02] how can i join two flv files into one? [15:02] i'm having networking trouble. wired and wireless have both worked at some point but they don't anymore. for wireless to work, i have to set my router to wpa-only (not wpa/wpa2 auto) which makes other devices not work anymore.. wired network has worked, but since yesterday, it doesn't anymore .. i'm using jaunty, networkmanager and installed linux-backports-modules-jaunty-generic. no changes to the default configuration other than the wireless-pas [15:02] asfjio, avidemux *should* do it [15:02] In order to output a command to a text file (after piping), what would I do? [15:03] com1 | com2 > text.txt? [15:03] yeah [15:03] that will only redirect stdout though [15:03] Please elaborate [15:04] Halitech: thank you [15:04] asfjio, welcome [15:04] Can anyone tell me - what is the practical advantage of an LTS release? Is it really more secure or more bug-free than the current release? [15:05] Rage. Perl will help. [15:05] richardcavell: less updating [15:05] richardcavell, more stable, longer support [15:05] Hi all, I am using Pidgin on Ubuntu-9.04, I am behind a proxy, I am able to connect to GTalk but not able to connect to IRC using Pidgin [15:05] richardcavell, easier upgrading to the next LTS [15:05] richardcavell: it will be updated during a longer time, more support [15:05] can some one help please? [15:05] richardcavell: if you have a server you want to use.. and just keep running.. you don't want it to update gnome versions or something like that.. you just want it to run [15:06] Slart: You mean because the bugs have been ironed out already? Doesn't that apply to any old stable release? And is there any lack of support for Jaunty? [15:06] What would be the proper channel to ask bash scripting related questions?:) [15:06] Slart, gnome on a server? :) [15:06] GilJ: #bash [15:06] Pici: Thanks [15:06] unop: ok.. I'm sorry.. I'll go to bed without dessert tonight =) [15:06] richardcavell: other releases doesn't get more than 18 months old, LTS releases are supported longer than that [15:06] richardcavell: not really.. but because they stick to one version for a longer time === stone is now known as [ST0NE] [15:06] richardcavell, LTS is supported for 3 years on the desktop, 5 on the server so for those who are happy with the way their system works it means they don't have to upgrade every 18 months [15:06] Slart, i was kidding, you'd use it on an LTSP (or similar) server [15:07] is there amd64 debs of kdevelop4? [15:07] richardcavell: so you make sure your apps work with what the LTS version offers and then you know that the same app will keep working for the next 5 years.. that makes you sleep better at night =) [15:07] Halitech: I guess I understand that if-it-aint-broke-don't-fix-it for a mission critical application. But what about an ordinary user who closes their computer down every day [15:08] richardcavell, then update every 6 months :) [15:08] Halitech: It seems like a good idea. Newer versions of packages tend to fix bugs and become more compatible [15:09] richardcavell, but they can also break things that used to work [15:09] I know how to use .bashrc, but I need the equivalent for plain sh, not bash. where should this rc file be? [15:10] M25: .shrc? =) I've never used sh as an interactive shell.. I'm not sure what it does when it starts up [15:10] M25, ~/.profile [15:10] cool, thanks [15:10] Halitech: But is that also true for an LTS? The last LTS release of Ubuntu includes Firefox 3.0 beta 5. [15:10] FF3.0 beta 5 won't run several websites as well as 3.0.11 === jacob_ is now known as Guest24650 [15:10] it has bugs that 3.0.11 doesn't have [15:11] I upgraded to Ubuntu 9.04 and it's completely fucked my video drivers. To the point where I can get vesa, ati, radeon, or fglrx working on either kernel 2.6.27-14 or 2.6.28. They all hang when you start X. How do I fix this? [15:11] richardcavell, its usally not as much of an issue with the LTS releases, and beta is designed to break and should have had a stable version as well to install === root is now known as Guest47106 [15:11] coldboot|bb: language.. family friendly channel and so on [15:12] !pastebin [15:12] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel.

[15:17] halitech: I'm running the latest 9.04 drivers, I'm talking to you on a blackberry and can't even get X up at all. Enabling hardware drivers, even if I had the gui, won't fix it. Could you give me a direct tiny url link to the latest driver? [15:17] Geforce Go 8000M (laptop) [15:17] anybody uses mutt on ubuntu?

[15:26] how can i set a previous /home partition with data still in it as the new /home for a fresh install? [15:27] peter__: LVM can be resized on the fly so you decide. [15:27] terminhell: I'm not entirely sure about this.. but can't you set it up in the installers advanced partitioning mode and make sure that it's set to "not format" it ? [15:28] Slart: that works yes, that's what I usually do [15:28] terminhell: Do you know where your home partition is? [15:28] Slart: hmm i didnt check...ugh dont wanna reinstall again lol [15:28] terminhell: I would make a backup before I try it for real though. Of course you could just install it as normal and then set it up later [15:28] /dev/sda6 [15:28] where i will get vlc player [15:28] iceglider: ah.. nice, thanks... wasn't sure if that option was still availabl [15:28] yogesh: sudo apt-get install vlc [15:29] yogesh, from the software repositories via synaptic package manager or the command Slart gave you [15:29] LEAF-SHEEP im beginning a new installation and it asks me how big i want the size to be, should i make one lvm or just as normal make an swap, root and home partition [15:29] so would it just be easier to go back thru the install proc and thru the advanced settings [15:29] Can someone please expand upon what "if-up.d/mountnfs [device__]: lock /var/run/network/mountnfs exist, not mounting" means? [15:29] and choose not to format it [15:30] peter__: Using alternative disc? Do you need LVM? Do you even know what LVM is? [15:30] terminhell: I would change it now, it's not that hard to do.. I would say a reinstall might take longer [15:30] sounds like its trying to mount a network device cudev [15:30] Slart: how do i change it tho [15:31] terminhell: seeing as there are no network devices in /etc/fstab, and device is from a wired ethernet card, any idea how to fix that? [15:31] because the ethernet card is also not coming up at boot [15:31] cudev: not really, sorry [15:31] damn [15:31] *adds another tally* [15:31] terminhell: you change the placement in /etc/fstab then you make sure that all the files are in the right place.. and reboot (it might be enough just to log out and in but I would reboot) === FR34K is now known as thefr34k [15:32] yay [15:32] thanks to whoever nudged me - installing the remaning header-i386 allowed me to compile nvidia.ko [15:32] cudev: so, first the nic, open a terminal ..

[15:46] DasEi: you think that renaming the devices is the problem? Because I have set them to be the proper name in /etc/udev/rules/70-persistent-net [15:46] how to know if video card driver is installed? [15:47] does anybody know what might have happened to so significantly alter the behaviour of my window manager since yesterday? [15:47] kennyyu: you probably want to hit a channel for whatever language that is [15:47] grawity, do you know how to run a filter on amutt mailbox when mutt is open? [15:47] cudev:yes, try eth0 instead of connect, then save intrfaces, restart network [15:47] Kangarooo: System > Admin > Hardware drivers [15:48] kennyyu: chances are though, you declared a method and didn't define it, or are not linking correctly [15:48] DasEi: k, I will try...

[15:50] leaf-sheep, compiz crashed, upon compiz --replace all of gdm committed suicide [15:51] cudev: what have you done in there ? [15:51] changed the interface names so that they are refered to as in the interfaces file [15:52] hey folks. I'm having some troubles with something corrupting my video memory it seems. have there been any problems with recent upgrades to dbus/hal or the like? [15:52] DasEi: http://paste.ubuntu.com/220596/ [15:53] cudev: looks fine, unless you have changed anything [15:54] hello [15:54] DasEi: those were eth0..5, but I changed them to the interface names I want [15:54] gorgut: I'm not aware of any [15:54] cudev : why so ? [15:55] Using compiz with gtk-window-decorator how to I toggle window decorations on and off? [15:55] cudev: many (init) scripts rely on reliable indifiers, so don't mess for fun [15:55] DasEi: Because we need backwards compatibility with the flux capacitor in the du-widget [15:55] cudev:*identifiers [15:56] DasEi: anyway, I see then... [15:56] DasEi: I'll try it now with the old names [15:56] Hi! I've tried to find proper documentation for the "mv" command, but haven't foung this : is there a way to exclude directories? [15:57] is there an i686 kernel out for ubuntu 9.04? [15:57] DasEi: there error is still there [15:57] When is Firefox 3.5.1 going to hit the repos? I still have not even updated to 3.5 -- was never prompted. [15:57] cudev: how can you paste if there is no net ? [15:57] FeasibilityStudy: Never will [15:58] FeasibilityStudy: They're keeping 3.0.11 til Ubuntu 9.10 [15:58] How do i install the JRE? which package exactly? [15:58] syka: eh? [15:58] Syka, why? [15:58] Syka, that is not correct [15:58] DasEi: what? [15:58] bazhang: It isn't? [15:58] ackbahr: you could use "find" with "-type f" and "-exec" [15:58] DasEi: I am not logged onto IRC on the same box that I am trying to get working [15:58] !ff35 | FeasibilityStudy Syka [15:58] FeasibilityStudy Syka: 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 [15:59] bazhang: The firefox meta package is still going to point to 3.0.11 [15:59] bazhang: Parrantly [15:59] So all we get is the BETA still? [15:59] Syka, no it wont [15:59] after all this time? [15:59] cudev: you said you had no working network, but could deliver pasts from it's config, little wondering [15:59] FeasibilityStudy: If you download 3.5 i think FF will update itself [15:59] FeasibilityStudy: They're updating it later [15:59] FeasibilityStudy, no it is final [15:59] hey guys [15:59] bazhang how come it does not prompt me for update? [15:59] DasEi: the connect port, the static one, comes up. Not even the other onboard port comes up [15:59] bazhang: Shiretoko is a OLD beta [16:00] FeasibilityStudy, separate package [16:00] Syka: READ the message from ubottu [16:00] Hi!! which package for the sun java runtime environment? === blues is now known as Guest39607 [16:00] oskar-: Ok.... Well, actually it's just to avoid an error message in a script, so it's no big deal.... [16:00] Syka, that is simply not correct [16:00] DasEi: and the error is only reported for the ports on the slot nic [16:00] cudev : so ifconfig gives you a working line ? [16:00] FeasibilityStudy: What version of Ubuntu are you running? [16:00] bazhang, im pretty sure SHiretoko is a BETA [16:00] 9.0.4 [16:00] Pici: Then why when I upgraded last night it was Shiretoko beta? [16:00] FeasibilityStudy: Its not. Please READ the explanation in ubottu [16:00] Pici, how come it does not prompt me to update automatically? [16:01] ifconfig, now that I renamed the interfaces, gives back lo and eth0 [16:01] ifconfig -a shows lo and eth0-5 [16:01] FeasibilityStudy, Syka: It is final. What you see is not what you get. It's all about branding. [16:01] Hi all. When my laptop isn't plugged in, power-wise, cpu speed is capped at 800 MHz. How do I lift this cap? (it can run at up to 2133 MHz) [16:01] helo cudev [16:01] leaf-sheep: then what about http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2009/07/03/install-firefox-35-in-ubuntu-904/ ? [16:01] FeasibilityStudy: Because it is a new package, we are not changing the default browser of Jaunty mid-release. [16:01] "However, the universe repository in Ubuntu 9.04 includes a special firefox-3.5 package. At the time of writing this package contains an old beta release." [16:01] edgar_: hello [16:01] hey syka [16:01] FeasibilityStudy: ubuntu has its own, superior update mechanism. the one from the mozilla products is therefore not used. it is intended for windows, as that os does not have a proper update mechanism [16:02] wher ar u from === gorgut is now known as gorgut_ [16:02] how do i install the sidepatch for mutt === gorgut_ is now known as gorgut_at_lunch [16:02] oskar- No, no. I am talking about the Ubuntu package manager is not prompting me for update [16:02] edgar_: Antarctica [16:02] FeasibilityStudy: ah, ok ;) [16:02] FeasibilityStudy, it won't. please read the link [16:03] Syka: *At the time of writing* Read the rest of the page you linked to. [16:03] !patch | The_Warlock [16:03] The_Warlock: Patches are files describing the changes in code to achieve some results. There are a number of ways these can be produced, but https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/HowToFix and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/PatchSystems may provide some useful guidelines. [16:03] is there a easy way to start a script without the ./ at the fron? [16:03] What is wrong with updating Firefox? I fail to see how this is a bad thing. I think it should be done automatically [16:03] hey cudev how can i find network manager icon [16:03] n0gear: Place the script in your $PATH, which should include ~/bin by default. [16:03] I actually think it is irresponsible of Ubuntu NOT to update it. There are security exploits out there [16:03] how do i install a 32-bit version of libz so applications being compiled w/ -m32 using libz can link properly? [16:03] The_Warlock: hmm not what I was expecting try man patch [16:03] n0gear: or put a symlink in /bin [16:03] Pici: As of last night, the 3.5 package was still Shiretoko - the old 3.1 beta [16:04] Pici: Unless my repo mirror is way out [16:04] Syka: Its branded shiretoko, but it is 3.5 final. [16:04] Syka: July 3rd. It's old. The last statement "Unfortunately, this package is still branded as Shiretoko (the codename for this Firefox release)." and "cp -r ~/.mozilla/firefox/ ~/firefox_profile_backup" puts it out of .mozilla directory. [16:04] edgar_: network manager icon? I've been doing it from the terminal. If you have a GUI, yo umay try System>Preferences or SYstem>Administration [16:04] moncky, tnx i think sudo apt-get install mutt-patched worked [16:04] Syka: http://is.gd/1reB3 [16:04] Is it standard practice of Ubuntu NOT to push an updated Firefox to all users? [16:04] Pici: So why is it completely missing the firefox logo? [16:04] thanx [16:05] DasEi: ifconfig, now that I renamed the interfaces, gives back lo and eth0. ifconfig -a shows lo and eth0 through eth5 [16:05] Syka: Because that would include branding changes, as the page I just linked you to describes. [16:05] Pici: As in, the About box does not have the FF logo [16:05] FeasibilityStudy: it is standard practice to not push an update to users without testing it for a defined while [16:05] Pici: wheres path? [16:05] oskar-: How long is a defined while? [16:05] n0gear: $PATH is an environment variable. [16:05] Syka: Missing logo? That's called branding. They changed the code but they don't change the UI / branding. [16:05] oskar-: Isn't, like, the months of 3.1 beta enough testing? [16:06] FeasibilityStudy: It is not standard practice to change the default browser mid release. [16:06] Syka exactly [16:06] leaf-sheep: So the 3.5 package has no logos, FF or Canonical? [16:06] cudev do u know anything about hacking [16:06] Pici: How is that changing the default browser? It's only an update..Every other distro I have used will push Firefox updates almost immediately. [16:06] edgar_: Why do you ask such questions? [16:07] FeasibilityStudy: FF3.5 is a new package, it is not part of the FF3.0 branch [16:07] Pici: So do i just copy the script to /bin ? [16:07] FeasibilityStudy: 3.5 is not an update, it's a release [16:07] cos i want to learn some techniqs [16:07] lemme just start up FF [16:07] Syka: Right. It'll be branded in Karmic. The reason for this is because looks / designs is not a security matter and the developers only works on and push security updates first. [16:07] n0gear: Create ~/bin and copy it there [16:08] Yes but it's still FIREFOX..It's not like it is a totally different browser. [16:08] leaf-sheep: So then why did Synaptic install a Ubuntu-Branding package? [16:08] all settings will be saved, all bookmarks, etc. [16:08] hello all :) [16:08] n0gear: Assuming that you are only running it under your user of course. Otherwise check $PATH and put it somewhere else, like /usr/local/bin [16:08] edgar_: Well, first off, 192.168.0.1 is a free box that people are allowed to practice on [16:08] FeasibilityStudy, Syka you have been given links and explanations, please read them and move on [16:09] Syka: For Firefox-3.0. You'll see that "firefox-3.0-branding" is installed. [16:09] I just think it's silly to have to wait on 9.10 in order to use an updated Firefox.. [16:09] ok then wat next [16:09] FeasibilityStudy, then why not the new versions of Gnome par6t way through? or KDE4 when it was released? because they (the devs) decide what goes in and when [16:09] hi there =) [16:09] lol@cudev [16:09] hmm [16:09] leaf-sheep: No [16:10] FeasibilityStudy: You don't need to wait, install the firefox-3.5 package. [16:10] cant install miro? :) [16:10] leaf-sheep: firefox-3.5-branding [16:10] edgar: so is 192.168.1.1 [16:10] FeasibilityStudy: perhaps you are wrong at ubuntu 9.04 (?) [16:10] Pici: all i had to do was copy the script to /bin and rename zzz.sh to zzz [16:10] simple community question: Does anyone now of a really full featured download manager for http/ftp/p2p with scheduling and a Web UI [16:10] FeasibilityStudy: Use this: http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2009/07/15/install-firefox-35-in-ubuntu-904-using-ubuntuzilla/ [16:10] FeasibilityStudy: 3.5 -with- Firefox branding [16:10] so wat exactly are those route for [16:11] Ok one last question. Is FF 3.5.1 in the repos? [16:11] !ff35 [16:11] 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 [16:11] FeasibilityStudy: I would guess so, since it's a security fix. [16:11] Hy all.. I have a problem. I downloaded a virtual HDD with ubuntu then mounted it with VirtualBox. Unfortunately, it didn't have KDE so I installed it too but the problem is that I can't get past the login screen. After I enter the login name and password, the screen goes blank for a few seconds then goes back to the login screen. I am kind of noob in this kind of problem. Can you help me fix it out? [16:11] FeasibilityStudy: No, my repo version is 3.5 [16:11] Syka: The official build has some problems with fonts (it uses fontconfig instead of GNOME settings) - but there's nothing ~/.fonts.conf couldn't fix. [16:11] FeasibilityStudy: I would expect it shortly. It was just released. [16:11] miro requires libtorrent-rasterbar2, libtorrent-rasterbar2 requires removal of python-libtorrent, but miro also requires python-libtorrent [16:11] ok thanks [16:11] later [16:11] * limpc scratches head [16:11] FeasibilityStudy: Use Ubuntuzilla [16:12] grawity: My ubuntuzilla one is fine... detects my M$ partition fonts fine, it seems [16:12] whats the default windows manager? [16:12] Gadu: first place to have a look would be in /var/log/messages [16:12] Hi I got Micro POS and I need to test it, ubuntu is not recognizing it, and I cant find micro in add printer, any suggestions [16:12] compiz is ticking me off. [16:12] guys which version of ubuntu is the best, am using xubuntu [16:12] navatwo, in gnome? [16:12] !best| edgar_ [16:12] edgar_: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [16:12] yes, ubuntu [16:12] Hi. In GNOME on Ubuntu 9.04, when I go to PLACES > CONNECT TO SERVER and set up a FTP (with login) is there a way to get GNOME to remember this information ? When I rebooted it was all gone and I had to re-input it again. [16:12] Gadu: you can get into a terminal by holding ctrl-alt and pressing F1 [16:13] nautilus navatwo [16:13] edgar_: The "vanilla" Ubuntu, with GNOME, I think [16:13] Syka: I meant the appearance settings such as antialiasing, hinting, and such. [16:13] bazhang: not what I meant :) [16:13] navatwo, whoops sorry metacity [16:13] lol [16:13] thanks [16:13] how to install dvd player [16:13] thanx ubottu [16:13] grawity: Oh. there's an issue with that? Meh, I don;t change those settings so I wouldn't notice [16:13] thanx ubottu [16:13] edgar_, depends on your system, ubuntu work for most, some like kubuntu === yacc__ is now known as yaccv [16:13] whileimhere: It should ask you if you want it to remember the password ... Do you have "gnome-keyring-daemon" running? [16:13] shit [16:13] yogesh, the player or the codecs === yaccv is now known as yacc [16:14] I still dont have my desktop icons back.. [16:14] navatwo: Please mind your language here. [16:14] Sorry Pici [16:14] Syka: Anyway, it's just a simple edit to ~/.fonts.conf [16:14] im really frustrated. [16:14] grawity thanks for the answer yes I do have it installed and it is just me not paying attention. I forgot to check the box about bookmarking it. :) [16:14] navatwo: Start Nautilus, it should bring them back. [16:15] Hello-- I am trying to find out how to do "rmmod psmouse" automatically on boot up. Which file do I add this command to? the init.d or the module in ETC? ... [16:15] please tell me someone how to install any software [16:15] how do i loggin as a root user if im already logged into x [16:15] whileimhere: Not that one, I think. When you click connect and it asks you for the password, _that_ window has a "Forget immediately/remember" selection. [16:15] javabot: soreau++ [16:15] yogesh, search synaptic or add/remove software [16:15] blackgraz, dont login as root [16:15] whileimhere: And the passwords are stored to gnome-keyring, which can be managed using seahorse. [16:15] dosnt the karma thing work here? ) [16:15] grawity yes you are right. [16:15] progre55: No. [16:15] too bad =) [16:16] yogesh: system -> administration -> synaptic package manager [16:16] grawity: that did it. [16:16] :) [16:16] thanks [16:16] !root | blackgraz, [16:16] blackgraz,: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [16:16] navatwo: Btw, what was that about Compiz? [16:16] @ moncky : I went to /var/log/messages but I can't find anything useful there, just some things similar to this: Jul 15 07:45:07 ubuntu kernel: [ 0.00000] Normal 0x00001334 -> 0x000231 [16:16] progre55: Not sure, did you fix whatever it was you were trying to? [16:16] Im really starting to like this GNOME-Bluefish combo [16:16] sudo passwd <-- will let you change root password. [16:16] ubottu: nevermind [16:16] Sorry, I don't know anything about nevermind [16:16] err [16:17] limpc: Not a very good idea. [16:17] Halitech: uhh i worded my question wrong [16:17] why not? [16:17] exit [16:17] exit [16:17] can i connect ubuntu to a windows network? [16:17] limpc, please don't recommend that here [16:17] JoeKerr, yes you can [16:17] .. theres nothing wrong with changing root password. [16:17] !sudo > limpc [16:17] limpc, please see my private message [16:18] i know what sudo is, bazhang [16:18] where do i set the network setting..i dont see it [16:18] i also hate having to sudo 10-20 commands. [16:18] limpc: That is what sudo -i is for [16:18] limpc, no need for root, not needed in Ubuntu [16:18] blackgraz, ok, what are you trying to do then? [16:18] limpc: We cannot support any repurcussions that might occur by having the root password set. [16:18] limpc: if you absolutely need a root shell just use "sudo -i" [16:18] okay, so I made a boo-boo. I ended a terminal which was running metacity [16:19] I have one open now, how would I start up compiz or metacity? [16:19] navatwo_, try altf2 metacity --replace [16:19] navatwo: Just "compiz" or "metacity". === scubacuda__ is now known as scubacuda [16:19] im in altf2 [16:19] :p [16:19] navatwo: If that doesn't work, try with --replace [16:19] Dulak: I just su -. everyone else seems to think root is taboo :) [16:19] hi [16:20] where do i setup the network in ubuntu? [16:20] limpc: it is, it leads to lazy sysadmins [16:20] bazhang: grawity uhm, I get an error about unable to open x [16:20] JoeKerr: There should be a NetworkManager icon next to the clock. [16:20] X Display& [16:20] well lazy sysadmins shouldnt be using ubuntu for production machines? :P [16:20] * [16:20] limpc: why not? ubuntu server is really nice in production [16:20] navatwo: ...are you doing it from a virtual console? [16:21] Yes [16:21] :S [16:21] navatwo: You need to run the WM from the same X session. [16:21] navatwo: You said you still have a terminal open there [16:21] limpc: the fact is using a root shell is a crutch, and in ubuntu if you have to have it, sudo -i gives it to you without havign to enable root [16:21] is that on Application, Places or System [16:21] JoeKerr: System -> Preferences. [16:22] grawity: sorry, im on a virtual :( my apologies. I'm still rather new with ubuntu [16:22] navatwo_: You can still restart the entire GDM. (This will log you out from X though.) Run 'sudo service gdm restart' [16:23] I have accidentaly removed network manager applet icon in the panel, how can i gei it back [16:23] Hello there all in ubuntu land [16:23] i only see network connection and network proxy [16:23] Dulak: well im not a sheep. and im not a lazy admin. i have a firewall, i use secure passwords, and keep up to date. if people view themselves so lazy or bad an admin that they need to limit themselves, fine. but I dont think root should be taboo. it makes people afraid and dumb security-wise. [16:23] Every once in a while I get that problem where I'm unable to interact with any part of the UI (shown apps and gnome-panel). I'm able to switch terminals (using CTRL-ALT-FX) and my music still works. Usually this will resume after a few minutes. Is there something I could do to help me find the faulty app? [16:23] JoeKerr: "Network connection". [16:24] limpc: so you enable root on ubuntu cuz you think it's cool, rather than leaving it disabled, and not even have to worry about it, and use the proper tool. I get it. [16:24] dulak - not at all. [16:24] plz guys help me [16:24] limpc: when you get about 10 more years of experience, let's have this conversation again. [16:24] grawity: so, it said there was an issue starting on :0 so it went on :1, big deal, or no? [16:24] limpc: till then, you've been told the stance, and I'm dropping it [16:25] limpc, if you want root then maybe you should look into running Debian or Redhat that allows it [16:25] Halitech: yeah i run redhat, slackware, bsd, and have a LFS box :) [16:25] navatwo_: Isn't very bad, but try stopping it completely ("sudo service gdm stop") and starting again ("sudo service gdm start"). [16:25] i have a wired network ...do i just do an add? [16:26] grawity: I have to restart my computer for something else, should that do the same? [16:26] Is there any way to see if some process is not responding? [16:26] does "sudo apt-get build-essential" not work in 9.04? [16:26] morning all, anyone have any difivulty getting a memorex cdrw drive to read disks? [16:26] navatwo_: Yes. [16:26] Halitech: I like Ubuntu because it works well with modern hardware without too much fuss, and I dont like Fedora. [16:26] edgar_, right click panel add to choose applet then find the nm-applet [16:26] thanks grawity for all the help :) [16:26] (for the desktop i mean) [16:26] Eisenhowerz: you're missing an argument there: sudo apt-get install build-essential [16:27] Pici: thanks [16:27] Pici: do i need anything else for compiling c++ ? [16:27] bai [16:27] limpc, I like Debian but I installed sudo on it because I find it easier to deal with then logging in as root for a single command but to each their own [16:27] Eisenhowerz: what are you building? [16:28] Eisenhowerz: Other than -dev packages that could be build-dependencies for whatever you're compiling, no. [16:28] edgar__, right click panel add to choose applet then find the nm-applet [16:28] hey guys is there a command in terminal to create a file that will give me a directory and file listing so i can print out? [16:28] i installed klavaro and the entire language is in a local language...how can i get it to english [16:28] ForzaPalermo: Something like this? ls > filelist.txt [16:28] ForzaPalermo: ls > somefile.txt might work [16:29] Halitech: yeah :) I've got nothing against sudo. I would prefer regular users to use sudo on boxes. Just dont think it should be treated as taboo and instilled into newbsa as "avoid unless no other choice" mentality. it makes for a very "green" generation of linux people. [16:29] Pici: awesome, You have any idea of a tutorial for i guess equiv to linux in windows programing? gtk programing? [16:29] grawity: Slart looks like the windows command [16:29] thanx bazhang [16:29] anybody know how i can prevent rhythmbox from removing a song from the play queue after it has been played? [16:29] limpc, Halitech please continue this in #ubuntu-offtopic [16:29] Halitech: first thing I do on any distro is install sudo and disable root, the audit trail alone is worth the hassle [16:29] ForzaPalermo: you use ls on your windows boxes? =) [16:29] Pici: I guess i'm talking about gnome gui? [16:29] Slart: lol [16:29] u know what i mean [16:29] ls = dir [16:29] Slart: I do.. [16:29] Eisenhowerz: I don't, but ##c++ might. You'll probably have to be registered to nickserv to join though. [16:30] can you do it for the whol drive though? [16:30] Pici: thnaks [16:30] is it normal for a 2.5GHz core 2 duo with a 9800M GT to have laggy video playback in flash? [16:30] and not a certain directory [16:30] ForzaPalermo: yes.. pipes work the same in linux as in windows.. only better and bigger [16:30] maccam94: useing flashplayer non-free or free? [16:30] non-free [16:30] Dulak, limpc bazhang over there now [16:30] ForzaPalermo: For a recursive list of files, try: find / \! -type d [16:30] morning all, anyone have any difivulty getting a memorex cdrw drive to read disks? [16:31] is there any easy way to connect ubuntu to a windows network? [16:31] maccam94: that would depend on the quality of your net connection [16:31] 10mbit fios [16:31] im done :P just looking for help with Miro :) [16:31] !samba | JoeKerr [16:31] ForzaPalermo: Both bash on Linux and cmd.exe on Windows have the same basic redirection -- > to write a file, < to read, | for pipe. [16:31] JoeKerr: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [16:31] sound keeps going, but the video keeps stopping, and then fast forwarding to catch up to the audio [16:31] maccam94: are you using flashplayer non-free? [16:31] sometimes causes the video to jump back to where it froze [16:32] gartral: yes [16:32] grawity: what does that find command do for me? [16:32] Miro <-- wants libtorrent-rasterbar2 + python-libtorrent. libtorrent-rasterbar2 <-- does not want python-libtorrent. how to fix? :P [16:32] maccam94: thats your problem, switch of for the the free one and see if it helps [16:32] ForzaPalermo: Find all non-directories in / [16:32] gartral: i thought gnash was incomplete? [16:32] does it write a file? [16:32] a text file [16:32] maccam94: not gnash, swfdec [16:32] or do i need to add > text.txt [16:32] or something [16:32] ForzaPalermo: No, you still have to redirect it using "> filelist.txt" [16:32] oh and python-libtorrent <-- requires libtorrent-rasterbar4. :) [16:33] gartral: do you get better performance out of swfdec? [16:33] grawity: so that command will give me directoryhs and files in those subdirectories? [16:33] does it work on hulu? [16:33] ForzaPalermo: Yes. [16:33] i can play flash files in mplayer/vlc fine [16:33] how do i type # on ubuntu? === root is now known as Guest90433 [16:33] moltenbobcat: I do, yes, and every system ive seen it running on is deffinatly better [16:33] the browser plugin is the problem [16:33] Guest90433: Um, using the # key? [16:33] ok i will give it a whirl [16:33] thank you [16:33] maccam94: are you streaming the movies to mplayer? or are they saved locally? [16:34] gartral: so does it embed into the browser the same way to handle like youtube and other flash video sites? [16:34] lol. root is here. go sic 'em Dulak :P [16:34] maccam94: you have too uninstall the adobe one before installing a new one [16:34] moltenbobcat: yes, with the sole exception that adds a large "Play" button where the video will be after you press it [16:34] keine Ahnung! [16:34] grawity: Well it wont work.. === Guest90433 is now known as Kwaa [16:35] I cant get md5deep too read a cd.. [16:35] gartral: hmm, but it goes away while the video is playing... i'll have to try it on my netbook because flash plays like a dog on it [16:36] Does adobe Flash Professional work properly on wine [16:36] Blizzerand, check the appdb [16:36] moltenbobcat: yes, it work fine after you hit the grey play button, the script runs and the videos play nicely... though, my system HATES youtube for some reason, no decoder seems too work for me [16:36] Blizzerand: I havent had much luck with flash stuff in Wine. (counting Flex Builder) [16:37] http://appdb.winehq.org Blizzerand [16:37] Blizzerand: even with Crossover. [16:37] the system im on now, anywho [16:37] bazhang , limpc : k [16:37] Hey does any one know about the bluetooth integration with pulseaudio thru google Soc? [16:37] How far is it along? [16:38] Just cant seem to fly in jaunty [16:38] How does one use remote desktop to help a guy solve his computer problems? Is it possible to view someone's desktop remotely over the Internet? [16:38] Blizzerand: you could use virtualbox [16:38] richardcavell, windows computer or linux? [16:38] Halitech: Both linux [16:38] limpc : Whats that [16:39] Hi, how can I tell whether an installed machine is running a 32-bit or 64-bit Ubuntu? [16:39] richardcavell, you could try ssh -x IPaddress [16:39] Halitech: That won't forward an exsisting desktop. [16:39] Blizzerand: virtualization container. you can install a win32 flavor on it and launch/terminate it without rebooting [16:39] Halitech: that gets me a command-line, not a GUI, right? [16:39] Blizzerand: http://www.virtualbox.org/ [16:39] cfm, uname -a [16:39] richardcavell: ssh -x enables "X forwarding" - but it won't give you the already-running applications. [16:39] Blizzerand: sudo apt-get install virtualbox [16:39] limpc : Ok . I'll try that [16:40] grawity, thought you could forward an existing x session over ssh? [16:40] richardcavell: So it probably is not what you want. [16:40] Halitech: Nope [16:40] grawity: I'm keen to see what it looks like. [16:40] Blizzerand: also if your hardware supports virtualization in the bios, enable it (mine does, i have a gigabyte MA770-UD3) [16:40] richardcavell: you could by use of rdesktop, but compared to ssh it's not very secure, better mind Halit.. [16:40] grawity, ok, never tried it so wasn't aware of that === song is now known as Guest94782 [16:40] richardcavell: you can set up vnc so you can control his desktop while he watches [16:40] nx runs over ssh [16:40] DasEi: RDP is secure already. [16:40] and will hand you new or used sessions [16:40] Halitech: if you want to rremotly veiw your already running apps, use xdmp [16:40] Halitech: Linux UIP-02 2.6.24-19-server #1 SMP Wed Jun 18 15:18:00 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux [16:40] limpc : Does it run on 32 bit [16:40] yes [16:40] richardcavell: VNC is laggy. You could install scrot and send the picture your way. [16:41] grawity: no more plain passes ? [16:41] Gee, all these options [16:41] cfm, you are running 32bit [16:41] Halitech: uname -m is machine architecture, not software isn't it? [16:41] Ah - what gives it away? [16:41] richardcavell: Okay, if you want to try it, connect using ssh -X (uppercase X), and then just run a n X application. [16:41] I think nx is the way to go if it's a linux server if your talking about a windows box well rdp is obvous [16:41] cfm, -a gives you everything ... this does i686 GNU/Linux [16:41] DasEi: In the new RDP version, they're supposed to be encrypted. [16:41] grawity: Okay [16:41] salut [16:42] grawity: thanks hint [16:42] yop [16:42] I know this has been an old old issue but Can any one tell me how to move the stream from my Intel Snd card to Bluetooth headset... I have installed Blueman and Pulse audio 0.9.15 and am able to pair the device using blueman... [16:42] grawity: Do you want to connect to my linux box just so I can see what it's like? I trust you :) [16:42] Halitech: What should it say for a 64-bit install? [16:42] Any help appreciated... [16:42] in general its not a bad idea to put stuff like rdp/vnc/etc behind a vpn or ssh if you want to access it over the net [16:42] grawity: hey thank you that did it.... my hard drive is dying and i need to replace all my downloads, and there are swo many i would never remember what i would have to redownload [16:42] thanks again buddy [16:42] cfm, on mine it says x86_64 GNU/Linux [16:42] richardcavell: I could try, but you wouldn't see anything - if I started an application over SSH, it would be displayed on my desktop. [16:43] okay [16:43] !list [16:43] This is not a file sharing channel (or network). If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [16:43] Halitech: I understand, many thanks for your help! [16:43] cfm, np [16:44] Halitech: i downgraded from 64-bit yesterday [16:44] how can i force a command to run at startup? [16:44] richardcavell: That's how X11 forwarding works - an application runs on the ssh server, but it's displayed on the user's desktop as if it were a local one. [16:44] limpc, why? [16:44] Halitech: had issues with AIR apps. apparently Adobe offically only supports 32 bit [16:44] I cant get md5deep too read a cd.. [16:44] limpc, ahh, don't use them myself [16:44] when both my eth1 and wlan0 are enabled, my internet (coming from wlan0) doesnt work... when i disable eth1 the internet starts working again... any ideas on how to fix this? [16:44] Halitech: you can get it working kinda by installing ia32 libs [16:45] StrangeCharm: put it in rc.local [16:45] Halitech: however its very buggy and stuff "vanishes" from them. I also had issues with a sluggish UI (im running an AMDx64, maybe its processor specific) [16:45] thanks DasEi [16:45] azlon: im assuming your connection too the wired network over eth1 is too the same router as wlan0? [16:45] gartral: no, two different routers (both wifi though) [16:46] I have ubuntu Linux 9.04 32bit but my two audio chips are not currently supported - Anyone know when the next release will be made available? I think what I have now was released in April 2009 [16:46] limpc, I have the ia32 libs installed (don't remember why now) and I have a AMD 5200+ with no issues [16:46] azlon: are these routers connected too each other *anywhere* "down the line"? [16:46] grawity: if you were to ssh to my puter, would I have to create a new user account for you? [16:46] Halitech: no idea then :) didnt have alot of time to troubleshoot so just plugged in my netinstall USB thumb and rebooted hehe [16:46] JeZ-l-Lee: Next release is in October 2009 [16:46] Can any one tell me how to move the stream from my Intel Snd card to Bluetooth headset... I have installed Blueman and Pulse audio 0.9.15 in jaunty and am able to pair the device using blueman... But cant see the sound stream in Pulse.. [16:47] richardcavell: Probably. I cannot ssh without knowing an existing username/password. [16:47] hi, using ubuntu netbook remix with maximus, whenever i maximize a java window, it turns grey. when i unmaximize it again, the content returns. how to fix this? [16:47] limpc, I also use debian lenny with XFCE, I find too much bloat in most of the newer releases of Ubuntu [16:47] Is there a simple way to remove the extra config/services/etc files when you uninstall a package? [16:47] * arthurL is away: I may or may not actually be away... [16:47] Halitech: yep, xfce rocks. faster than gnome too. [16:47] richardcavell: your putter runs an OS? that must be a nice golfing enhancer! [16:47] lol [16:47] WOOT! i just compiled 0 A.D! [16:47] for example: if i uninstall amavis, there still remains an amavis init script [16:48] gartral: no, the one on my eth1 is only connected to this computer and two other windows based computers (which have no other connections). the one on the wlan0 is going straight to the internet, nothing else on my other router [16:48] praet: Use purge option instead of remove. However, you'll have to remove the folder manually in your $HOME directory. Really, you have rooms. Don't bother, I suppose. [16:48] Now, on a side note, please stop changing the names of libraries. it breaks things. [16:48] limpc, only thing I don't like is the lack of networking support like nautilus has [16:48] Halitech: admittedly, i was using gnome at the time. however im directly comparing gnome on 32 and 64 bit kernels. just ran very slow on 64 compared to 32. was a fresh install and i wasnt using compiz so was definitely something somewhere in the default install [16:48] !away > arthurL [16:48] arthurL, please see my private message [16:48] thanks leaf-sheep [16:48] Hello, I have a noob question. I somehow lost my Shutdown button, in the QUIT window. How do i get it back? [16:49] limpc, something running extra causing issues for you [16:49] Halitech: xfce includes gnome apps. you can run nautilus [16:49] limpc: One thing I hate about Xfce is its thunar-volman. I have my ~/.gnupg on an USB drive (symlinked). On GNOME, I can specify the default umask for gnome-volume-manager. On Xfce I can't, and thunar-volman mounts my flashdrive with umask 000 - so all files have perms 0777, and GnuPG breaks. [16:49] azlon: mmmk... im not sure how, but you need too specify that the Internet is only reachable over wlan0... by default the system will try and use an ethX connection over a wlanX connection [16:49] limpc: So I'm now using GNOME with Xfwm4 :) [16:50] loser, right click on the panel and add, then user switcher [16:50] grawity: :) im still waiting for xfce to allow drag-and-drop of app menu items to the panels :P [16:50] gartral: hrmm... i will google some more... let me know if you think of anything [16:50] thanks [16:50] Can any one tell me how to move the stream from my Intel Snd card to Bluetooth headset... I have installed Blueman and Pulse audio 0.9.15 in jaunty and am able to pair the device using blueman... But cant see the sound stream in Pulse.. [16:50] I aprecciate that [16:50] limpc, I know I can run gnome (or kde) apps but I don't want to add a bunch of gnome dependencies and 90percent of the time I don't have any computers to connect to so I just use thumb drives to transfer files === Eisenhowerz is now known as Eisenhower [16:50] bonjour à tous [16:51] limpc: Ever tried using gnome panels instead? [16:51] redzen, #ubuntu-fr pour francais [16:51] grawity: nope, didnt know you could. [16:51] how to configure wpa-psk on the wifi card [16:51] limpc: I don't know that either. (Probably not.) [16:51] richardcavell: http://stebalien.com/2009/05/grdc-very-good-graphical-vnc-viewer-for.html [16:51] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=571188 mun24 [16:52] grawity: would make sense that you cant, considering the panels are an extension of the windowmanager, not separate apps [16:52] limpc: But then, why does GNOME (along with its panels) work with Xfwm4, Xfce's window manager? [16:53] hi, using ubuntu netbook remix 9.04 with maximus, whenever i maximize a java window, it turns grey. when i unmaximize it again, the content returns. is there a way to fix this? [16:53] grawity: no idea lol. i havent used xfwm4 actually. im checking it out now tho ;) [16:53] richardcavell: what do you think of it ? [16:54] DasEi: I guess it looks good, but I'm keen to keep things simple [16:54] Can any one tell me how to move the stream from my Intel Snd card to Bluetooth headset... I have installed Blueman and Pulse audio 0.9.15 in jaunty and am able to pair the device using blueman... But cant see the sound stream in Pulse.. [16:54] grawity: the desktop and the wm are two different things, you can run xfwm4 in gnome and get all the gnome functions, but you can't run all gnome items in xfce4 [16:54] richardcavell: that seems very simple to me [16:55] DasEi: Perhaps. I still need to learn how to do all this [16:55] I upgraded to 9.04, and X just hangs: http://superuser.com/questions/7206/upgrading-ubuntu-to-9-04-breaks-ati-video-card-driver-vesa-and-ati-radeon-driv [16:55] Does anyone know how to get X working in Jaunty with an ATI card? [16:55] Hi, I have 2 different-sized screens. 1440*900 and 1024*768. How do I use both at the highest resolution? [16:56] Oh, and I use compiz. [16:56] coldboot: you install it, you boot it up and voila [16:56] coldboot: not a whole lot of info there, like, what card specifically? [16:56] richardcavell: I'd like to try that, so if you want, open a pm and lets try to connect [16:56] gartral: http://superuser.com/questions/7206/upgrading-ubuntu-to-9-04-breaks-ati-video-card-driver-vesa-and-ati-radeon-driv [16:57] coldboot: download and install the latest drivers from ati [16:57] already did [16:57] what version? [16:57] doesnt hang, but shows blank screen [16:57] and what card? [16:57] 9.6 [16:57] coldboot: what card... please answer my question [16:57] coldboot: "This site is currently in private beta testing" [16:57] look at the link [16:57] I use 9.4 with a HD 2600XT [16:57] ah crap [16:58] could any of yall help me set up my sixaxis controller for xubuntu on my ps3 [16:58] coldboot: the link isnt working, please, just answer my question [16:58] rv610 [16:58] tried like 3 guides [16:58] hd 2400 xt [16:58] coldboot: you might try this: http://peter-server.homelinux.net/fxglrx/ [16:58] that's exactly what i'm using atm. [16:58] Hi, I have 2 different-sized screens. 1440*900 and 1024*768. How do I use both at the highest resolution? I use compiz. [16:59] threetimes why that version? what version of ubuntu? [16:59] 9.04 [16:59] sorry guys im typing on a stupid netbook, its impossible to type on this [16:59] coldboot: the easy way would be to back up your ./home dir and do a clean install [16:59] bonsoir [16:59] Lawd, poor coldboot. === Tetracomm is now known as fuzzyboot [17:00] my card is an rv610 radeon hd 1400 xt [17:00] is it normal for ubuntu to be so hard to connect to a network? [17:00] ubutnu needs to test the fglrx driver with new kernels before forcing upgrades, this is absurd [17:00] coldboot: you're absurd. [17:01] That is all *retreats back to his cave* [17:01] for several years, after ubuntu updates, my fglrx driver breaks [17:01] almost every single time === gorgut_at_lunch is now known as gorgut [17:01] <[Behemoth]SDK> Hi everyone! I am a total newbie to Linux, will install ubuntu and wanna know what the most important issues are for running smooth and avoiding just sitting gazing at the screen with no idea how to fix it :) [17:01] <[Behemoth]SDK> Although I´ve used debian before, didn´t work out well [17:01] coldboot, no one forces you to upgrade [17:02] coldboot: file a bug report/go raise point in #ubuntu-dev.. but keep in mind, the ATI drivers are inherently broken for all linux oses [17:02] [Behemoth]SDK, have a second system around so you can google things [17:02] <[Behemoth]SDK> Halitech: for example one XP partition and one ubuntu? [17:03] I can [17:03] <[Behemoth]SDK> Halitech: Do I have to code a few lines or so when I use ubuntu? [17:03] I cant even get vesa, ati, or radeon to work, they all hang the system [17:03] they all hang when i start x [17:03] is there any way to downgrade back to 8.10? [17:04] [Behemoth]SDK: Ubuntu is a Linux OS, so you will need to type a few commands to the Terminal once in a while, but that shouldn't happen often. It isn't programming either. [17:04] [Behemoth]SDK, thats an option although I find having a second system you can use while having the non-working system up to be better ... and no, no coing required but might need to use the terminal to fix a few issues [17:04] Moncho [17:05] OK I installed FF 3.5.1 via Ubuntuzilla. However, Flash is not being recognized. Do I need to put the Flash binary in a different location? It's currently in ~.mozilla/plugins [17:05] f [17:05] have someone alfa awus 036H to work nice with ubuntu driver? [17:05] wireless card [17:05] anyone use alfa wireless card? [17:05] lavida: calm down [17:05] coldboot: also, the hd cards have toruble lately because ATI refuses to impliment the hdmi controller for the linux drivers.. but this is OT here [17:05] I'm also coldboot [17:05] hi can someone help me with ubuntu stududio qsynth is not working [17:05] Got irssi working on my machine now. Can type properly finally. [17:05] how to use wpa_supplicant ? [17:06] !ot | nhooey [17:06] nhooey: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [17:06] Yeah I actually used to work on the ATI Linux driver team when I was in university. [17:06] Their driver was crap then, and it's just as crap now. [17:06] !wpa | mun24 [17:06] mun24: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [17:06] .. [17:06] Their linux support will always be awful, because they don't really care. [17:06] can anyone recommend an http server that I can start standalone (no inetd) and run as user on unprivilaged port? On with No CGI support and directory listing? Apache and others are overkill. I'm sharing a dozen files on a lan. [17:06] I'm at work, though, and they bought crappy dell machines with ATI cards in them. [17:06] <[Behemoth]SDK> Graviton & Halitech: Oh ok, I found a swedish book on ubuntu on a swedish site, would it be worth to put like 35 bucks in 250 pages before using ubuntu? What language is the code in the terminal? [17:06] Can any one tell me how to move the stream from my Intel Snd card to Bluetooth headset... I have installed Blueman and Pulse audio 0.9.15 in jaunty and am able to pair the device using blueman... But cant see the sound stream in Pulse.. [17:06] holler #ubuntu [17:06] what_if: lighttpd is probably the best for what you are looking for [17:06] what_if: dir2html [17:07] what_if: How about thttpd? [17:07] !info dir2html | what_if [17:07] what_if: Package dir2html does not exist in jaunty [17:07] lol, ty. Will look at those 3 [17:07] hmmm... those 2 [17:07] * grawity wouldn't call lighttpd "light", tbh [17:07] Hi! [17:07] what_if: There's also nginx [17:08] [Behemoth]SDK, depends on what you set your default locale to [17:08] is there a gftp irc channel? [17:08] <[Behemoth]SDK> Halitech: whats the "default locale"? Sorry if I ask stupid questions :( [17:08] What's the syntax if I have a file containing a list of packages and for each of them I want the result of apt-cache search? [17:08] what_if: lighttpd requires privleged port, IIRC [17:08] Can any one tell me how to move the stream from my Intel Snd card to Bluetooth headset... I have installed Blueman and Pulse audio 0.9.15 in jaunty and am able to pair the device using blueman... But cant see the sound stream in Pulse. any help appreciated guys [17:09] gardar: ty.... thats one of the main issues [17:09] [Behemoth]SDK, the default locale is where you tell the installer you live and its sets the language, etc [17:09] gartral, what_if: lighttpd, like any other webserver, can bind to any port you want. I have it on :8080 [17:09] can someone help me fsck my usb harddrive that is formated "HPFS/NTFS" [17:09] aka /dev/sdb1 [17:10] Anyone else had trouble with Flash on FF 3.5.1? [17:10] whats the best way to stop a process from running at startup? [17:10] I umount'd it, and now when I cycle the usb connection the icon/drive is not recognized by ubuntu [17:10] sagredo: It's probably NTFS (as HPFS is not used anymore), so you'll need either a) Windows, or b) ntfsprogs package. [17:10] stewart_: blacklist [17:10] grawity: what is ntfsprogs? [17:10] gartral: is that a command? [17:10] gartral: What do you think might be wrong if Xorg is hanging whenever I use vesa or ati/radeon? [17:11] sagredo: It's an Ubuntu package that contains various NTFS utilities, including (I think) fsck.ntfs [17:11] Is there any way you can downgrade Ubuntu from 9.04 to 8.10? [17:11] sagredo: Install it from the terminal (apt-get install ntfsprogs) or Synaptic. [17:11] nhooey: No, that is not supported. [17:11] nhooey: again, your BEST shot at repairing the system is to !clean install [17:12] grawity: thanks my friend [17:12] Anyone here running ubuntu on a macbook? [17:12] nhooey: just reinstall 8.10 and dont format your / partition [17:12] Just wondering how the suspend on lid shut performs in comparison to OS X [17:12] Can any one tell me how to move the stream from my Intel Snd card to Bluetooth headset... I have installed Blueman and Pulse audio 0.9.15 in jaunty and am able to pair the device using blueman... But cant see the sound stream in Pulse. any help appreciated guys [17:12] grooverider: ive had a bit of experience with installing Ubuntu (and slack) onto macs, whats your prob? [17:13] Hi, I have 2 different-sized screens. 1440*900 and 1024*768. How do I use both at the highest resolution? I use compiz. === K-Zodron| is now known as K-Zodron [17:13] blackgraz nhooey WOAW! BAD idea! [17:14] gartral: No problem really, just thinking about dumping OS X entirely. But want to make sure the suspend stuff works as well as OS X. [17:14] wouldnt hurt anything more [17:14] grawity: any idea what to do with this package now? [17:14] grawity: I'm running through the mans but no bright ideas [17:14] grooverider: is it an NVidia pwered mac? [17:15] how do i blacklist a process from starting at boot? [17:15] gartral: I think it's got the intel video chipset- it's a white macbook 2,1. [17:16] grooverider: in mac go too Apple menu>About This mac.. if its an NVidia based mac, it will show there.. [17:16] It's not nvidia based [17:16] after reboot, i have no network interfaces [17:16] i've tried checking if it has something to do with the kernel, but the problem persists on both the kernel that worked an hour ago and on the current one === monika is now known as Guest76550 [17:17] grooverider: your all good, when you go too install, hold option+C at boot with the Ubuntu disk in the drive too have the system start from the cd === Odin is now known as Guest9575 [17:17] does anyone have problem to use alfa wireless card with ubuntu driver [17:18] does anyone have problem with ubuntu rtl driver [17:18] if it is of any help it happened the reboot after an update that wanted me to reboot [17:18] probably because of the kernel [17:18] headers and stuff [17:18] lavida: i cant find anything specific too that manufactuer, can you run lspci | grep wireless === Guest9575 is now known as th0r [17:19] Anyone have time for a bizarre audio problem on an HP dv 7 running 8.04? The sound on occasion and for no easily identifiable reason suddenly starts to sound distorted, choppy, and almost slowed down. It does this on all video, audio, mp3, flash, avi. [17:19] hey [17:19] .. [17:19] Hi, I have 2 different-sized screens. 1440*900 and 1024*768. How do I use both at the highest resolution? I use compiz. [17:20] rufensis: that sounds like ALSA not having a high enough prioity, either go about finding how to elevate its priority on boot, or simply install OSS [17:20] Threetimes: what kind of gfx card? [17:20] gatral: what is oss? [17:20] !oss | rufensis [17:20] Sorry, I don't know anything about oss [17:20] !info oss | rufensis [17:20] rufensis: Package oss does not exist in jaunty [17:21] who removed the OSS factoid?!? [17:21] hi there. I have a problem with write permissions. When I create directory with php function mkdir('dirpath', 0777); , that folder is NOT world writable as it should be, even the rights are set to 777 when creating the directory. The directory is only writable if I run $ sudo chmod -R 777 directory. Any ideas how can I solve this problem? How can I make wordl writable directory with php? [17:22] gartral: You sure you had a right commend? [17:22] rufensis: OSS is the Open Sound System, supposedly depreciated by pulse, but i feel pulse is the *most* buggy sound server availible, oss seems too have the lowest overhead on proccessing and at least in my system, is the only sound system that plays real time [17:22] !OSS [17:22] Sorry, I don't know anything about OSS [17:22] leaf-sheep: yep [17:23] gartal: thanks. i agree with your pulse comments. i think i'll try to elevate alsa and then check out oss [17:23] brano: this is more of a php question but i belive the problem is that the php/apache user hasnt got the permission to write? [17:24] How would I execute a shell script ONLY in the terminal? [17:25] rufensis: dont get me wrong, on many systems, pulse is great, if a bit bloated, but there are better ways... (JACK + OSS/ALSA/ESD can do the same things pulse can) [17:25] how do i stop programs from loading at startup ubuntu [17:26] BromaxSux: but I do not understand why it's not world writable, because I run xampp with root privileges... I think this is problem with ubuntu ... I am using xampp and in archlinux everything worked well... [17:26] gartral: are other linux distros using pulse yet? [17:27] Mandriva is [17:27] Gentoo can be. if you set it up that way [17:27] rufensis: i dont know, im pretty sure mandriva is, and i think fedora is, but im not certain [17:27] Hello. Is there some way to select workspace with my mouse more easily? (Like onOSX 10.5 you can move your mouse down to a corner and get a simple GUI for selecting workspace). [17:28] how can i delete a shortcut i made in /usr/share/applications [17:28] if desktop effects are enabled, the scrollwheel will change back and forth [17:28] it says permission denied [17:28] I made a shell script that only works corectly if it's run in the terminal. How would I force it to always run in a terminal if you double click it? [17:28] eirikb: with compiz your scroll wheel on the desktop will flip workspaces [17:28] gartral: I don't use compiz [17:29] gartral: Oh it works without compiz also [17:29] eirikb: your SOL AFAIK.. :/ [17:29] eirikb: ohh, goody! :P [17:29] gartral: Although, with my 9 workspaces it's not a optimal solution [17:29] I've heard there should be something mac-lookalike, but I haven't found [17:29] eirikb: 9!?! why does ANYONE need 9 workspaces? [17:29] :D [17:30] eirikb, cant you just use the workplace switcher on the panel? [17:30] nvm i found out [17:30] i can see my real name when i right click it (in xchat) ! how do i change this? [17:30] eirikb: screenlets does have nice workspace switcher also if you do not like workspace switcher in gnome panel [17:30] gartral: Oh you know, one for terminal remote, one for firefox, one for NetBeans, one for Textfiles(docs), one for Terminal local, one for music, one for pgadmin and other tools, and two to go :D [17:31] brano: instead of the php function mkdir(), try to shell execute with `mkdir()` and see if this yields the desired result [17:31] eirikb: really... i mean, in BeOS/Haiku it can be considered usefull cause you can run each workspace at different res/bit depths and such.. but 9 in Gnome is.. just a waste [17:31] etrcap: XChat>Network List [17:31] BromaxSux: i'll try it [17:31] gartral: Why? I think it works nice [17:31] hi all... I try to install flash player on firefox... [17:31] etrcap: There in the Real Name field [17:31] eirikb: look at your RAM... [17:31] hi all... I try to install flash player on firefox...any idea?? [17:31] soreau what about my ip do i need a proxy? [17:32] gartral: It's either 4 or 9. My 16 gig of ram don't care ;) [17:32] !flash | petx [17:32] petx: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [17:32] etrcap: Not if you don't have a proxy and it's already working [17:32] i have also 9 workspaces and i don't find them as a waste [17:32] eirikb: ok.. well.. on aa workstation like your maybe... [17:32] soreau: i dont have a proxy; everyone can see my ip. how do i change this? [17:33] etrcap: I have no idea [17:33] gartral: I would probably have 9 on a less powerfull one too. As I said, it's 9 or 4, I'll go with 9 [17:34] brano: How does it work? [17:35] brano: The point is that I want to change workspace with my mouse, without having to do precision work on my gnome panel [17:35] eirikb, putting my mouse in an empty space and moving the scroll wheel changes mine [17:36] Halitech: Empty space? [17:36] Ah inside the "workspace"-box? [17:36] eirikb, someplace that isnt covered by an application on the desktop [17:36] Halitech, isnt that compoiz that lets you do that? [17:36] It seems I can't do that [17:36] revygttam, I don't use compiz [17:37] maybe its an XFCE thing [17:37] eirikb: so you can install compiz fusion and use expose if you'd like to see all workspaces when you move cursor to the corner... or you can install screenlets (from repositories) and have a workspace switcher of size that you want... that widget is called pager [17:37] server [17:37] Halitech, i know i can do the thing. Im just thought that was part of compiz. eirikb, check desktop effects in appearance [17:38] revygttam, it might be on gnome [17:38] revygttam: I'm not using compiz no [17:38] brano: So using compiz is the best way? [17:38] hi, using ubuntu netbook remix 9.04 with maximus, whenever i maximize a java window, it turns grey. when i unmaximize it again, the content returns. is there a way to fix this? [17:39] brano: I had a look at pager, it's not very helpful [17:39] join java [17:39] uefgi, dont maximize? [17:40] Halitech: that's not a solution. [17:40] hi [17:40] hello everybody, a simple question: firefox will be officially upgraded ( one day ) to 3.5.x version or i have to manually do it? [17:40] somebody help me [17:40] hello. [17:40] yes, using compiz is the best way how to switch workspaces with mouse.. even i don't have compiz installed... I preffer switching workspaces with keyboard [17:41] uefgi, if it stops the window from going grey it is, just not the solution you were looking for [17:41] brano: Yeah me too, but sometimes I'm on my mouse, and I rememeber those days of Leopard :P [17:41] is anyone around with Tomcat experience? we are experienceing some troubles with the default policies with the ubuntu packaged tomcat. [17:41] I cant find out how to configure server at evolution [17:41] Well thanks for help. Bye [17:41] I have hotmail acount [17:42] eirikb: :D I see... expose is a nice function :D in kubuntu you can use that function also without compiz... (: but not in gnome... :-( [17:42] morning ubuntu, I have ubuntu and windows installed right now but I want to format the xp partition and reinstall, is that going to create any problems with ubuntu? [17:42] It shouldn't. [17:42] grick: will probably not happen. they didn't update openoffice3 last time... [17:43] zortec, you'll need to reinstall grub [17:43] !ff35 | grick [17:43] grick: 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 [17:43] grawity: It is a dual boot system, so both windows and ubuntu would be residing on that main partition I believe... [17:43] somebody know the route at server name for hotmail account? [17:43] That is why I would like to be careful. [17:43] Halitech: I just don't want to lose all my ubuntu files [17:44] zortec: Two OSes on a single partition is a quite rare thing. Try the command "sudo fdisk -l" and see what it prints. [17:44] Invitado05; http://www.linuxcompatible.org/getting_hotmail_with_evolution_mail_t31060.html [17:44] Desai, where'd you go? My Net dropped out, sorry. [17:44] zortec, as long as you pick the right partition you should be fine but backup Backup BACKUP before you do anything [17:45] /dev/sda - NTFS and /dev/sda2 and /dev/sda3 - Linux [17:45] can I format within ubuntu my windows partition before I reinstall? have never done that before [17:46] grawity, rakudave: thanks, but i'm using 8.10 yet, i will manually upgrade it then [17:46] hello! Could anyone tell me a good music dl program to use with ubuntu? [17:46] grick: Get the Ubuntuzilla tool. [17:46] zortec: sure, just backup all your files from the NTFS partition. [17:46] cdw32, dl program? torrent? [17:46] zortec: install ntfsprograms, then gparted will [17:46] zortec: I guess you'll need ntfsprogs and gparted [17:46] Can any one tell me how to move the stream from my Intel Snd card to Bluetooth headset... I have installed Blueman and Pulse audio 0.9.15 in jaunty and am able to pair the device using blueman...

[17:54] kjartan_, Then? [17:54] zortec: then wipe is your candiate, man wipe in trml [17:54] is it worth upgrading from hardy to jaunty? [17:54] grawity: I want it to be a Windows partition alongside the Linux partition for a dual boot system again, so really I just want a clean partition to install Windows [17:54] grawity, DasEi: Sorry if I'm confusing you guys [17:54] cdw32, yes === Odin is now known as Guest30143 [17:54] when I change the volume on my computer, there is an black boks with a white line, its kinda like an volume indicator [17:55] umm how excatyl do i go about that vise [17:55] zortec: I'm so by default, nvm [17:55] hello [17:55] zortec: Actually, the Windows installer can already do it -- but from Linux, the best option is to use gparted [17:55] cdw32, Your native update manager? i am not sure if it's possible.. so any one? [17:55] kjartan_, Try changing your theme [17:56] grawity: Would it be better to do it from the Windows installer or Linux? I thought since I was booted into Linux, could just handle the job here [17:56] I've done my first ubuntu installation, every thing is ok except the sound, my acer 6920g laptop does not produce any sound. [17:56] cdw32, you would need to go to interpid first then to jaunty [17:57] Halitech, thanks. would you be able to point me in the right direction on how to start that process [17:57] zortec: It's probably the same.

[18:13] is there a program in linux for chkdsk [18:13] armada, with a P3 850 and 384meg of ram, I wouldn't go ubuntu ... look here for a copy of my xorg.conf file http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=7091258&postcount=13 [18:13] I tried using ntfsfix in the ntfsprogs package but it told me to run chkdsk [18:13] armada: the base system is the same, so another desktop environment won't change anything [18:13] i can't get back into ubuntu after i ran this command: sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx [18:14] would anyone help me please? [18:14] KingSteve032: then there probably is a bios setup option to disable it (?) [18:14] cdw32, there is but I cant think of the top of my head .... should be something under system ?? about this computer/ubuntu [18:14] !helpme | MrPiracy [18:14] MrPiracy: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !patience [18:14] how do I get a message to appear with little arrows like above #ubuntu:[freenode-info]? [18:14] halitech: 8.04, i found it... [18:15] MrPiracy: flgrx seems rather broken in linux... all linux oses suffer from dismal problems [18:15] cdw32, then you should be able to upgrade to 8.10 and then 9.04 if you want so not sure why its not working ... do you have an intel video card? [18:15] i dont see a bios set up [18:15] halitech, i am not sure... [18:16] MrPiracy, ctrl+alt+F4 [18:16] and you'll see a shell, hopefully [18:16] gartral, i was just thinking .... maybe i would just try to remove it from xorg.conf? [18:16] fro disableing hardware [18:16] cdw32, open a terminal and post the output of lspci | grep video [18:16] KingSteve032: Do you have an add-on video card, or do you want to run the system headless? On most systems with integrated video, the onboard will be automatically disabled if there is an addon card detected [18:16] MrPiracy, look after a backup of xorg.conf in the /etc/X11 dir [18:16] its a laptop [18:16] ibm thinkpad r40 [18:16] MrPiracy: that might work.. I rund nvidia... so theres a different set of issues, and i cant really feild your problems well === slaytani1 is now known as slaytanic [18:17] Fougner, gartral, ok, gonna try that, brb [18:17] how do I edit the file? [18:17] How do I install 32 bit software on Ubuntu 64? [18:17] Halitech, how do I edit the file? [18:17] lwells: like? [18:17] armada, use a texteditor? =) [18:18] KingSteve032: I don't understand exactly what you want to disable... The LCD? Or the vga-out? [18:18] the actualy video card [18:18] I am trying to install the sdk for WebOS? [18:18] armada, gksudo mousepad /etc/X11/xorg.conf [18:18] jrib: It is the sdk for the new palm os [18:18] grawity: I think I'm ok on the DNS front, have a fully qualified DNS name etc. I wonder if kinit doesn't bother with host principal checks whereas pam_krb5 does this by default and i need to tell it not to. [18:19] armada, I almost told you gedit but you have Xubuntu and gedit doesn't get installed [18:19] KingSteve032: You mean the ATI Radeon Mobility 7500, right? [18:19] pretty sure that is right [18:19] Halitech: sorry about that...i am not sure what video card i have. [18:20] what is unattended-upgrade? theres no help file or man page [18:20] KingSteve032: If you disable that you will have no video at all. Are you sure that's what you want? I wouldn't be surprised if there is no option for that in the BIOS because that would make the system unusable for most common purposes [18:20] lwells: good luck. Some libraries are in ia32-libs. But I have no idea how the palm sdk works. Worst case scenario, use chroot or virtualized system [18:20] i dont care i have the video card disableed in windows [18:20] cdw321: lspci | grep VGA will tell you [18:20] it works [18:21] KingSteve032: Then what you disabled is the video acceleration software in Windows, but you're still using the card with a generic VGA driver [18:21] gartral: i have no clue ehat that is... total noob [18:21] jrib: Can you do --force architecture? [18:21] cdw321, open a terminal and type in the command that gartral give you [18:21] lwells: sure, you can try. I would ask for support from palm though [18:21] ping [18:21] cdw321, then post the info back here [18:21] cdw321: its ok, we were all there once, open a terminal via Applications>accessories>Terminal and typ in lspci | grep VGA [18:22] !firefox [18:22] firefox is the default web-browser on Ubuntu. To install the latest version, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion Installing plugins: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxPlugins - See also !firefox-3.5 [18:22] pehden, anser from me with 8000ms delay [18:22] Halitech, now I just have to put that file like yours? [18:22] answer* [18:22] KingSteve032: So are you unable to boot linux because of a suspected video card problem? Why do you think it's the video card? [18:22] ok [18:22] hmm [18:22] armada, that should work, yes and reboot [18:22] oki [18:22] that seems to high [18:22] Gartral: Halitech: ok one second [18:22] pehden, nope ;D [18:22] well what happens is i can see the boot screen fine then when it getts to the log in screen i get random lines [18:22] KingSteve032: are you sure Ubuntu isn't just trying to use the onboard video card? [18:23] gartral: It's a laptop. The 'onboard' is all there is. [18:23] PING reply from pehden: 0.749 seconds, that's quick [18:23] KingSteve032, that sounds more like just a driver issue [18:23] KingSteve032: what kind of gfx card? i get that once in a blue moon from my NVidia XFX GeForce 6200 [18:23] the video card is crap i did some test on it and it failed 2 out of 3 test [18:24] Halitech, i copy pasted it... is that ok? [18:24] armada, should be [18:24] i have n6200 [18:24] qwyeth: ahh.. well. he *coud* be using one of this pcmcia cards, or a usb video card [18:24] i'll reebot now, and then i'll tell u, many many thanks Halitech [18:25] Gartral Halitech: it says command not found [18:25] armada, good luck and hopefully it works [18:25] usb vidcard/Why would you want to use that? [18:25] cdw321: LSPCI in lower case :) [18:25] KingSteve032: Check out this page... you may want to try the xorg.conf settings about two-thirds down the page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/ThinkpadR40-2681 [18:25] pehden: they are useful if you *need* 3 or more monitors [18:26] having some trouble, trying to mount a software raid array made in XP. got mdadm, please see the following output http://pastebin.com/d2c57c60c I dunno whats using these devices, their not mounted, how can i find out?

[18:27] !ask | GeorgeAScott1 [18:27] GeorgeAScott1: 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. :-) [18:27] Gartral Halitech: http://paste.ubuntu.com/220689/ [18:27] hey guys. giving ubuntu another shot and i was wondering. where would my wireless driver be on my windows partition. im trying to configure ndis. [18:28] skellington, what wifi card? [18:28] atheros 5700 [18:28] !wifi | skellington [18:28] skellington: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [18:28] ah [18:28] well [18:28] with ndis driver trendnet no working [18:28] skellington, you should use latest ath5k [18:28] skellington: check the wifi documentation first, it's unlikely you need ndiswrapper [18:28] pehden: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_gw?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=USB+video+card&x=0&y=0 <- of course, im not sure if ANY work with ubuntu [18:28] there is a replacement menu available that gets rid of the sperate "Applications Places System" menus and puts them all under a single menu [18:28] fine... do i need rsync-hal to fix my broken tethering setup? i saw in the network tool a place for mobile broadband, but cant get it to work [18:28] I've installed it before but forgot what it was called [18:29] anyone know? [18:29] skellington, I've got atheros myself, pain in the ... [18:29] how can i find out what is using a block device, the device is not mounted but mdadm is refusing to use the devices on the basis that they're 'busy' [18:29] examancer, gnomenu? [18:29] cdw321, lovely intel card [18:29] ku ku [18:29] help plz [18:29] halitech, that means what? [18:30] I cant ping my server by hostname but can by IP. How can i fix this? [18:30] cdw321, seeing alot of issues with 9.04 and intel cards on the forum [18:30] fougner: agreed. [18:30] skellington, look here [18:30] halitech: i see. so i should just wait for another LTS version to be released [18:31] skellington, http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Download [18:31] gartral, it didn't work [18:31] gartral xorg.conf wasn't even touched [18:31] if you got kernel >= 2.6.27 download the stable package there [18:31] then unpack, make, make install [18:31] why return, remove driver wi-fi rtl8180.ko [18:31] cdw321: i see alot of issues with that particular card cdw321 Halitech [18:31] you know what I mean? [18:32] gartral: what kind of issues. bad ? [18:32] MrPiracy: looks like you ned too back up your ./home and reinstall [18:32] Hey again. I'm still not able to get sound to work on my new laptop. Could someone please assist? [18:32] thanks fougner [18:32] tell me if it works or not [18:32] cdw321: yea, but dont give up, ill keep looking [18:32] i cant even look at the screen all it is is black with some random lines going through it [18:32] gartral, damn ... 4th time in one week :( [18:32] MrPiracy, what are you doin with that computer anyway? ;) [18:32] cdw321, I would wait and stay with whats working [18:32] gartral, i'll just try to remove that package from the command prompt [18:33] MrPiracy, you have a ATI card? [18:33] MrPiracy: when i installed 8.10 on my desktop, i had to reinstall 8 times in a day! [18:33] gartral: with my particular card, or the model in general [18:33] test [18:33] pehden: test [18:33] cdw321, intels in general right now [18:33] Fougner, i was trying to get secondlife running [18:33] hmm [18:33] cdw321: your card's model in general is just poorly supported [18:33] oh [18:33] Hlitech:: i think that is what i am going to do. i already had to send the computer back for repairs once... [18:33] MrPiracy, do you know about envy? [18:34] gartral: i see thanks [18:34] !envy | Fougner [18:34] Fougner: EnvyNG is a program to install newer version of nVidia or ATi drivers, it can be found in !Universe as "envyng-gtk" (for Gtk/Gnome) or "envyng-qt" (for Qt/KDE). It is NOT a supported method to install video drivers; please only use it if standard methods fail and at your own risk - See also !BinaryDriver [18:34] Fougner nope [18:34] MrPiracy, Halitech just helped you then =) [18:34] you can run it from the shell [18:34] Hi, are there any repository with mono-2.4 for Jaunty? [18:34] and reinstall drivers and then run aticonfig [18:34] Fougner: turns out its already installed. its called "Main Menu" and can be added to the panel, then you simply remove the "Menu Bar" which takes up more space [18:35] thanks anyways [18:35] Fougner, neat ... but i got to get into ubuntu first [18:35] examancer, ok [18:35] halitech: one more question. sometimes when i see the code, what is the line [18:35] i got ubunutu runing icewm [18:35] qwyeth i just need to disable the video card [18:35] well, how long into boot do you go? [18:35] *ubuntu [18:35] cdw321, what code and what line? [18:35] I've put an rsync backup script in /etc/cron.daily; the script runs and new files are copied across, but for some reason the --delete option doesn't appear to work and deleted files are not removed from the backup. Any ideas? [18:35] MrPiracy, is it a black screen where the login normally is? [18:35] no got to figureout how to customize ice [18:35] Fougner, exactly [18:36] Fougner, and it's NVIDIA 8600gt, no ATI [18:36] how do i get completely rid of an app without breaking gnome. im talking about evolution here. [18:36] MrPiracy, aha [18:36] halitech: like this: lspci | grep VGA what is the line between ispci and grep [18:37] cdw321, its called a "pipe" and should be just over your enter key [18:37] MrPiracy, anyway, able to ctrl+alt+F4 when the black screen appears? [18:37] KingSteve032: I'm not trying to be a dick, but you're wrong. You probably can't disable the video card hardware, and if you could it wouldn't accomplish what you want. When you "disable" it in Windows what you're actually doing is using a different driver, and that is probably the same thing you want to do in Linux. [18:37] you cant at least i couldnt get rid of evo [18:37] What is the best way to use webalizer to extract stats? [18:37] thats what i want to do then [18:37] skellington: you cant, evolution is the main program your calender and mail core runs out of, you remove that, and you remove gnome, calender, mail, and todo listing capabilities [18:37] asdf [18:37] halitech: io feel like an idiot.... [18:37] how do i install a deb with out adding gnome stuff [18:37] is there any way to adjust the power of my wireless card? [18:37] cdw321, don't, I had no idea what it was before I started using linux [18:38] Fougner, i tried to ctrl+alt+f4 from the command prompt i was at ... everything went black for a couple of minutes, so i rebooted and came back into XP [18:38] KingSteve032: Are you working from a Live CD or an installed system? [18:38] its on a usb [18:38] halitech: does it have a funtion [18:38] KingSteve032: Did you try the "Safe Graphics Mode" option on the boot menu? [18:38] i used unetbootin [18:38] cdw321, it tells the first command to do the second before giving you the output [18:38] MrPiracy, you where at a command prompt? [18:38] gartral: what a drag [18:38] azlon: man iwconfig [18:38] were* [18:38] cdw321: yes, your pipe key is useful in many ways, just not in windows [18:39] i happened to enter tty once, how do i get out of it back to the gnome gui? tried startx, din't work. [18:39] Fougner, yes, the recovery console [18:39] ah [18:39] skellington: why does it matter, its only 30 some megs [18:39] to install it [18:39] well, did you try to install envy and run it? [18:40] gartral; thanks, i will get the hang of this eventually! [18:40] whats a proccess manager the isnt gnome or kde or xfce [18:40] KingSteve032: You should have a "Failsafe" mode on the GRUB boot menu. Have you tried that? [18:40] gartral: im a software snob. i only want what i explicitly installed to be on my computer [18:40] how do i get to the grub menu [18:40] pheden you can take xubuntu, its without gnome *think* [18:40] i think i had pressed alt-ctrl-f4 [18:40] !info htop | pehden [18:40] pehden: htop (source: htop): interactive processes viewer. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.8.1-4ubuntu1 (jaunty), package size 54 kB, installed size 196 kB [18:40] how do I edit xorg without doing it manually? [18:41] Fougner, can i install it from the console? [18:41] KingSteve032: It's the menu where you pick whether you're booting to Ubuntu or Windows [18:41] skellington: and why dont you like evolution (other than its poor implimentation of GTK+)? [18:41] KingSteve032: You may need to press Esc to access it [18:41] Fougner, i was thinking of deinstalling fglrx drivers [18:41] htop... is that in synaptic [18:41] MrPiracy, yep, apt-get install envyng-core [18:41] yep it is [18:41] I read xorg was possible to edit without opening xorg.conf in jaunty [18:42] halitech and Gartral: Thanks for your time!! [18:42] pehden: yes, but it's a console app... similar to mc, but for processes [18:42] pehden: yes, alternativly, you can install it with sudo apt-get install htop for a terminal [18:42] MrPiracy, okay, you could try, but it probably won't work [18:42] awsome [18:42] Fougner, so i'll be able to get back in business at least [18:42] cdw321: n problem, im sorry we couldnt resolve your issues [18:42] Fougner, why not? the xorg.conf file wasn't touched [18:42] MrPiracy, hopefully. try install envyng and run it from the console.. isntall your prop drivers for nVidia graphics [18:42] gartral: i dont dislike it. i just have no need for it. [18:43] Fougner, ok gonna try that, brb [18:43] any ideas as to what might cause video card memory corruption and freezing? [18:43] also, movie player. can i get rid of that? [18:43] skellington: ah well, I dont like apt- but i cant remove it [18:43] is it possible to edit xorg without opening up xorg.conf in gedit? [18:43] why in the world do the people that packaged apache httpd deviate so far from apache's standard?!?! [18:43] majikman: What do you mean? [18:43] gartral: lol but its useful.

[18:54] Fougner, Hello... this channel is quite big and I am lost here. [18:54] majikman : reinstall php5 or asp you must have a bad conf [18:54] skellington, good, but don't bother if you already know the answer? =) [18:54] Megabyte, just ask, and hold you breath ;) [18:54] pehden, reinstalling php5 won't fix my conf file [18:54] MrPiracy, what happens when you try to activate compiz then? [18:55] Fougner: hehehe, and i just lost my previous xchat window too .... it minimized to nowhere [18:55] fougner: but i didnt know the answer. thats why i asked.

And in this case I believe majikman is trying to configure a feature that isn't available by default so reinstalling is unlikely to help [18:56] I've got no experience when it comes to nVidia graphics [18:57] Fougner: alt+tab ain't working [18:57] ctrl+alt+left/right button then? =) [18:57] jrib i read that there script was sowing source [18:57] anyway [18:57] *showing [18:57] compiz is deactivated [18:58] pehden: ok, but he said his php scripts were working [18:58] pehden: And that doesn't require a reinstall either.

It doesn't seem to be detected by the kernel in dmesg [20:03] MattPhilie: Usually, in Ubuntu, software can be installed from "repositories" using either the "Add/Remove Programs" item in Applications, or the Synaptic package manager, or the "apt-get" command in Terminal. [20:03] HMm.. I Just got this error Failed to check for installed and available applications [20:03] This is a major failure of your software management system.

[20:03] TimbrWu|f: Have you tried 8.04 and or have you tried without proprietary Drivers? [20:03] Jethro, what gra.ca. do you have?

Where do I find that [20:03] incarus, when i try to upgrade, the upgrader tells me that the driver for my video card is not supported. [20:04] I was told that I would have to reinstall ubuntu, but if I can I would like to just install the packages needed to make the cdrom work [20:04] MattPhilie: Hmm. Open a terminal (Accessories -> Terminal), and try the commands "sudo apt-get update" and "sudo apt-get install -f" [20:04] MattPhilie: As for Synaptic, it's in System -> Administration. [20:04] Jethro, yeah, but which graphic card you got? [20:04] MattPhilie: in the System=>Administration menu [20:04] its an intigrated ATI [20:04] vigo: It does it with the default drivers also doesn't seem to matter [20:04] i am not sure how to look it up specifically in ubuntu [20:05] zortec: does lshw find it ?

[21:06] I want to mount a long path to a short new path and want to have this mount permanently. anybody helps please? [21:06] darkangel: there are a lot of options. Mostly it depends how much shrinkage (we call it compression) you need e.g less than 4G, and where you plan to watch the compressed dvd e.g on your PC, or on a regular dvd player? [21:06] juanbond: opensource version lacks USB [21:06] !fstab | neda [21:06] neda: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [21:06] sebsebseb: it's for personal use anyways. [21:06] neda, what do you mean long path to short path? Like create an alias? [21:07] vigo: nope, nothing of that sort, i had a problem shutting down the computer with NFS shares, but i followed a workaround in the ubuntu documentation and i may have problems with my shutdown/bootup scripts nwo [21:07] juanbond: what you going to VM? [21:07] if i could compress the files to less that 4 gb that would be amazing, most are coming out about 7 to 7.8 gb per file [21:07] yo :) [21:07] DasEi1: no, my comp has two hard drives, OS on one, everything else on the other. thats the issue im having it mounting the other one :[ should i be on the live cd [21:07] neda: why not using symlinks [21:07] i seem to have a small problem, some icons on the gnome menu wont work [21:07] any way to rebuild it?

Most common compressed size is 4G (so you can burn it onto a blank DVD) or 700M (so you can burn it onto a blank CD). Obviously, the more you compress, the worse the quality gets & the longer it takes, [21:09] salmon : sudo e2fsck -p /dev/sda5 ,* [21:10] randall_: odd command it's passwd username to reset the user password if you only got a root shell or otherwise sudo passwd username, well that's the desktkop version, I assume this applys also for the server [21:10] I can't understand how to use wget [21:10] sebsebseb: 64bit os's too right?

[21:10] randall_: if you already got a root shell passwd username otherwise sudo passwd username [21:10] like wget afro* [21:10] randall_: boot in recovery mode, use passwd to re-set (and don't forget XD) [21:10] sebsebseb so what did usermod do? [21:10] #ubuntu-pt [21:10] DasEi1: /dev/sda5: clean, 38/65952 files, 19749/263048 blocks [21:10] does Ubuntu 9.04 still have that problem with installing flash? or is it automatically installed now? [21:10] I didn't understand the man or the help page [21:10] This chat room is getting a lot of questions, is there a place I can go to get help on my cdrom without holding everyone up? [21:11] salmon : sudo e2fsck -p /dev/sda6 [21:11] DasEil, how do i boot in recovery mode on ubuntu server? [21:11] juanbond: yes, but on a 64bit host you might have to turn hardware virtualization on if your computer has it, before 64bit guets will work [21:11] randall_: you ran "usermod -p password username" where "password" was the actual password you were intending to set? [21:11] stew correct [21:11] sebsebseb: building my new intel i7 today, so i think we're good :) [21:11] randall_: usermod -p doesn't take a password as an argument, it takes a password hash [21:11] juanbond: if you have it, it will be a feature in your bios, for security reasons computers tend not to have this feature enabled by default [21:11] on a asus p6t deluxe motherboard :) [21:12] is there a way to know whether or not I am running 32 bit or 64 bit os from cli? [21:12] randall_: at boot up, when grub says loading, press , choose recovery-kernel; are you on jaunty ? [21:12] randall_: (which you could generate with something like "mkpasswd -H MD5" [21:12] Sorry to repost.. but I was disconnected accidental.. I cannot locate where to extract a theme for cairo dock.. Can anyone specify the location of where to extract the theme I downloaded..? [21:12] darkangel: there are several: dvdrip, k9copy, handbrake, wine+dvdshrink, mencoder, transcode. k9copy is probably a good one to start with.... [21:12] DasEi1: http://paste.ubuntu.com/220768/ [21:12] DasEil the server is remote [21:12] MattPhilie: Just use the themes manager [21:12] randall_: oo [21:12] i've used k9copy before and it didnt work very well for me [21:13] stew what would it do if i just typed in a ascii password instead of a hash? [21:13] i seem to have a small problem, some icons on the gnome menu wont work, any way to rebuild it? [21:13] this is very bad [21:13] randall_: it would put the ascii password into /etc/shadow where a hash should have gone, which, since it is not a vaild hash, would disable the account [21:13] I have been in the chat room 3 hours trying to get help on my problem... this is going to take a while [21:13] #ubuntu-pt [21:13] zortec: I downloaded a theme off of Google and don't know where to extract the files.. Meaning I cannot use the theme manager [21:14] stew its my superuser account [21:14] stew can i still log in as "root"? [21:14] darkangel: I've never used it myself. Personally I prefer wine+dvdshrink. I hear good things about handbrake. I've also used dvdrip... [21:15] zortec: if you don't follow up hints and respond, you'll go more crazy [21:15] randall_: uh, I don't know if you can, you tell me [21:15] stew soooooo im toast now [21:15] http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=571579 This bug going to be fixed anytime soon in 9.04? [21:15] !root | randall_ [21:15] salmon : looks like a corrupted, maybe dead partiton; first question : older harddrive/ important data on it ? [21:15] randall_: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password.

[21:16] partition, damn [21:16] does ubuntu have something for intel macbooks? ubuntu seems to recognize all my hardwaer [21:16] where other distros mostly do not.

[21:17] DasEi1: yeah there is some important stuff on there.. nothing i can do?

[21:21] I want to set up my pc to use two different screens. Problem is I have only one pci express slot being used for my current graphics card. I have another pci express card.

[21:22] Zxcvb: SWAP is needed for hibernation/sleep/suspend [21:22] Zxcvb: Yes it is possible, look at the grub how to.

[21:22] Kreg-Work: yep maybe only for hibernate [21:23] zortec: sudo apt-get install pastebinit [21:23] so when did the 2GB swap partition limit get overcome?

[21:23] DasEi1: ok done [21:23] 4GB [21:23] zortec: pastebinit /etc/fstab [21:23] Zxcvb: you can manually edit swap [21:23] Zxcvb: one idea is to double the RAM, ,but when you got 4GB RAM hmm [21:24] so I was looking at around 5-6GB swap (enough to hibernate and still have 1-2GB of swap left) [21:24] My only admin account on my ubuntu server is locked and there is no recovery mode to boot into. any ideas other than reinstalling? [21:24] Zxcvb: also with 4GB RAM you don't need swap, also your going to try and hibernate the computer [21:24] DasEi1: http://pastebin.com/f3e29ce02 [21:24] but I thought you couldn't have more than 2GB of swap per swap partition [21:24] I would appreciate it if someone could drive me to update my firefox to 3.5 [21:24] !ff35 | dury [21:24] dury: 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 [21:24] Zxcvb: you can have 8GB SWAP, you can have 20GB swap if you like, which is also way to much [21:25] sixdraw: hasn't the pcie two connectors ?

[21:28] MrPiracy: if you have 1GB RAM, you can do 2GB SWAP, if you have 4GB RAM you can do 8GB SWAP, altough not needed with 4GB RAM really. in fact personally I have no use for SWAP with only 1GB RAM :) [21:28] MrPiracy: i have 512mb and i do 1.5gb [21:28] MrPiracy: 8GB RAM and 8GB SWAP should be ok [21:28] sixdraw: your displays connect both on vga ? yeah, then get adaptor for the dvi one [21:29] I just tried to install an ISO image on my USB stick using UNetBootin, but it didn't boot.

[21:51] MrPiracy: What package, btw? [21:51] Artissimo: You can open synaptic and see what packages are installed [21:52] zortec: is synaptic the package manager? [21:52] Artissimo, Xsane is usually under "graphics" [21:52] Artissimo: yes [21:52] Artissimo, main menu [21:52] Artissimo: killall gnome-panel (refresh your panels). [21:53] leaf-sheep, does that work if you killed your panes by accident' [21:53] leaf-sheep: iḿ just trying to run SecondLife [21:53] syslq78: No. You can't kill panels. Only can hide the last panel. [21:53] it's barking about ia32-libs [21:54] That's a relief [21:54] leaf-sheep: the webpage u sent me looks kinda scaring .... i just want to run a game [21:54] I freshly installed Jaunty today, coming back from Karmic Koala (leaving my /home untouched) and I don't have autocomplete with apt-get in my terminal and I forget how to re-enable it/ [21:55] what's the easiest (and quickest) way to transfer a large file from one ubuntu box to another, over a wireless network? [21:55] zortec:pastebinit /var/log/syslog [21:55] paste* [21:55] nsh: scp [21:55] right [21:56] what's the best irc client for jaunty? [21:56] !best [21:56] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [21:56] MrPiracy: try a bunch, xchat, kvirc, irssi, [21:56] MrPiracy: pidgin, [21:57] DasEi: http://pastebin.com/f727b6c2b [21:57] MrPiracy: I'd say irssi but that's overkill for somebody new like you. Use xchat instead. [21:57] can someone explain what these options mean? a result from mount: none on /mnt/home type aufs (rw,si=cb2f1e80,xino=/home/user/.aufs.xino,create=mfs,dirs=/home/user=rw) [21:57] MrPiracy: and xchat and kopete for the most common [21:58] Hello all. [21:58] leaf-sheep: i am very familiar with irc programs/network ... was just assuming there was something better than xchat ... it sux [21:58] !hi | jander991 [21:58] jander991: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [21:58] MrPiracy: What is it that you're looking for in your IRC client? :) [21:58] I'm looking for some direction. I'd like to help with cleaning up the "New / Undecided" bugs. Doing a quick search, sorted by "Least Recently Changed," displays bug reports from over 2 years ago. How should I proceed with these bugs? Most are from Fiesty/Edgy and I'm sure they have just been abandoned. [21:59] I've asked this question in #ubuntu-bugs, with no response. [21:59] I like xchat [21:59] leaf-sheep: a way to fine tune it would be a good start [21:59] I freshly installed Jaunty today, coming back from Karmic Koala (leaving my /home untouched) and I don't have autocomplete with apt-get in my terminal and I forget how to re-enable it. [21:59] MrException, there are powerful cli ones [21:59] DasEi1 : One other question. Can you run xinerama with just one graphics card? [21:59] h00k, try reinstalling bash-completion [21:59] What utility does Ubuntu provide for extracting .rar archives [21:59] MrPiracy, there are powerful cli ones [21:59] ? [22:00] leaf-sheep: for example .. this chat room is so full of messages, i'd light to highlight the lines with my nickname on it [22:00] leaf-sheep: as well as my own lines [22:00] twig11, unrar? [22:00] sixdraw: yes, if the card itself is dualhead-able [22:00] MrPiracy, you can do that in xchat [22:00] jander991: bash itself autocompletes, just not with apt-get things [22:00] Mouse: how? highlight box in config is not working [22:00] MrPiracy: xchat can do that [22:00] MrPiracy: It should automatically highlight the lines with your nicknames. I think you need to finetune it first. I never use anything default. :) [22:00] DasEi1 : by dual headable you mean having a vga connector and a dvi? [22:01] h00k: silly question, does aptitude autocomplete? [22:01] MrPiracy, it's in the options let me look exactly where [22:01] leaf-sheep: i usually do that too, but ubuntu is giving me so many problems [22:01] zortec:hwinfo | pastebinit ; it's strange, I don't find any cd in the logs, though it seems to be connected (accordind hwinfo ) [22:01] MrPiracy, it's under alerts in prefernces [22:01] IceWind: it doesn't look like that's included in the default installation. [22:02] jander991: actually, it appears that sudo 'apt+tab' won't even give the option for apt-get or aptitude [22:02] ok, scp isn't particularly fast... [22:02] IceWind: is unrar on the Jaunty Desktop CD? [22:02] Mouse: what's ur version? 0.26.1 here [22:02] 200KB/s over wireless, is that normal? [22:02] sixdraw: use !tab for nick ; can be both, vga or dvi, depends on cards archtitecture, but most cards with two connectors support it [22:02] MrPiracy: Hey. [22:02] MrPiracy: You're using xchat-gnome, not xchat. That's different packages. [22:03] 2.8.6 [22:03] leaf-sheep: ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh [22:03] leaf-sheep, yeah [22:03] lol [22:03] h00k: single-tab or double-tab? there are alot of apt-* binaries [22:03] ok, hold on [22:03] MrPiracy, yeah [22:03] you need xhcat [22:03] jander991: either [22:03] xchat* [22:03] Mouse: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:03] MrPiracy: Purge that son of bitches. [22:03] DasEi: http://pastebin.com/f727d450d [22:03] twig11, is is not use "sudo apt-get install unrar", after file-roller will be able to deal with rar files [22:03] I have a problem with transferring files to an external USB stick (64bit jaunty)... speeds start out ok but then just drops down to almost nothing.. transferring a big file (>2GB) literally just halts after a minute or two.. has anyone else experienced the same symptoms? [22:03] !language | leaf-sheep [22:03] leaf-sheep: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [22:03] DasEi, thanks [22:04] jander991: pressing it once should go alphabetically through the options available (apt-get, then aptitude) [22:04] Mouse, leaf-sheep: hehehe, ok ok [22:04] Mouse, leaf-sheep: much better [22:04] MrPiracy, see [22:04] I love xchat [22:04] Mouse, well, i can relate to that .... but now with that piece of crap i was using 2 mins ago [22:04] hmm.. how do I delay writing to a certain directory, so it's only written in 30 second intervals? [22:04] Slart: I did experienced it few times in the past when I firstly switched over in Intrepid. [22:05] h00k: pastbin your ~/.bashrc file please. [22:05] IceWind: the machine isn't online, so I'd have to install it manually. is that the only way then? [22:05] MrPiracy, i did that too [22:05] h00k: pastebin* [22:05] Slart: Seems like a bug in kernel or such. Not quite sure why. [22:05] leaf-sheep: oh.. it got better? or you changed something? [22:05] but luckily xchat-gnome didn't work for me [22:05] DasEi: http://pastebin.com/f727d450d [22:05] DasEi: I can't remember if I already pasted it [22:05] Slart: I tried what I can. Filezilla, Nautilus, SCP. Does not help. [22:05] Mouse, lucky you [22:05] i need a way to get the restricted drivers onto my 9.04 laptop with no internet connection. any help? [22:05] anyone knows how to create a deb with diferent cflags and cxxflags? [22:06] Slart: Eventually it disappeared. I don't know. Could be because I'm using Jaunty, but... really. It was weird and it happens for some people. [22:06] jander991: I didn't have one, its blank with a custom alias I had set [22:06] leaf-sheep, can we get back to the lib32 problem? you were saying .... [22:06] jander991: I believe it blanked itself after installing karmic [22:06] jander991: I don't have a template to go by, just my one alias. [22:06] leaf-sheep: hmm.. well.. let's hope for karmic =) thanks [22:06] h00k: hmm, I"m not entirely sure how to regenerate it, but .bashrc controls bash completion. [22:07] Does anyone know how to regenerate a ~/.bashrc file? [22:07] Slart: Np. :) [22:07] jander991: let me try a dpkg-reconfigure bash [22:07] h00k: okay, delete your old bashrc though [22:07] jander991: isn't there a default one somewhere that gets copied to new users? [22:07] MrPiracy: My XChat --> http://tinyurl.com/nxty9b [22:07] MrPiracy: You need to finetune your XChat first to your likings. [22:08] I am booting the ubuntu installer from a usb flashdrive with grub, now i want to use a repository on the usb disk to do the installation (not a cdrom image) how to do this? === ballzee is now known as Sinister [22:08] jander991: yeah, it didn't recreate it. [22:08] MrPiracy: Anyway, as for 32bit-in-64bit, I never have the needs to do that. So I don't know nor did I try them. [22:08] MrPiracy: Check for debs first. ;) [22:08] MrPiracy: http://www.getdeb.net/app/Second+Life [22:09] zortec:nah, hwinfo also has to cd /dvd, that info was wrong, to me it looks like a loose cable (the data one) or a broken drive [22:09] no* [22:09] twig11, yes. get the deb file manually and then use dpkg to list any needed depencie that may not be installed [22:09] leaf-sheep, tu likings, me likings dude .... awesome customization [22:09] iwl [22:09] How do I configure terminal profiles such that a terminal window will open in a specified working directory? [22:09] anyone knows how to create a customized deb? [22:09] leaf-sheep, done that, i got their package, but it won't install saying wrong architecture [22:09] oops. anyway. i set iwconfig wlan0 rate 54MB/s and the speed shot up from 200KB/s to 6MB/s [22:09] zortec:another place to check would be disabled in bios; if you boot a live cd, can you see it then ? [22:10] strange that networkmanager doesn't automatically achieve the highest possible rate though [22:10] jander991: I did [22:10] jander991: I did cp /etc/skel/.bashrc ~/.bashrc [22:10] DasEi: Yeah it works in the bios because I was just running a Windows XP disc [22:10] h00k: Fix it? [22:10] DasEi: It seems to be ubuntu specific or possibly linux related [22:10] jander991: Yep. [22:10] MrPiracy: Running 64bit? [22:11] zortec: hmm , your other hardware is't so exotic, ever tried a live-boot ? [22:11] leaf-sheep, what's the whole point of 64bits then .... just to make "a few" application launch 0.0000000001 secs faster? [22:11] jander991: sometimes it takes talking with someone and bouncing ideas to get my brane working [22:11] Hey guys, i am having a bit of trouble with an external harddrive i have. 1: files are totally transfering to it when i transfer through ubuntu and 2: vista is saying that the folder(in which i have transfered files into) is corrupt or inacessible. any ideas? [22:11] DasEi: What do you mean a live-boot? [22:11] anyone know when compiz will work again with my intel graphics? It used to work great, but compiz isn't even enable-able anymore [22:11] h00k: Nice. I was about to send you a link to my bashrc heh. Good to know /etc/skel exists. [22:11] leaf-sheep, yes, 64 bits [22:11] !live | zortec [22:11] zortec: The Ubuntu Desktop CD is a "LiveCD" which can be run without altering existing files on your harddrive. Especially useful for testing your hardware's compatibility, it also includes an install option. [22:11] Stargazer: how do you have the external formatted? [22:12] Stargazer: if its fat32, try checking using gparted, if its NTFS, do a checkdsk on it from Vista [22:12] zortec: have you got a ubuntu-desktop cd ? === mubu is now known as dudu [22:12] MrPiracy: I'm getting you a link for explanation. Anyway, if you prefer 32, you can. I'm using 64bit myself. Also, if you really want stable linux, use LTS release. I don't know but it sounds like you're having hard time in linux. New user? Rushing things too fast? No idea. [22:13] zortec: anyway, how did you install ? [22:13] MrPiracy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/32bit_and_64bit [22:13] Hi, I have just installed Ubuntu Ibex on my server. I have no need for gnome (it's headless), and I'd like to not load it everytime I restart the comp. Anyway to remove it or disable it so that I just get a command prompt? [22:13] H00k, i will try that. bbl [22:13] DasEi: I used an alternate text cd and installed xrssi for irc and then ubuntu-desktop for GNOME [22:13] mattalexx, why not install the server edition? [22:13] Stargazer, um... you could reformat it and than it will probably work... [22:13] Stargazer: good luck [22:13] Hey guys. Is it normal for a usb or esata hdd to have really slow write speeds when it is encrypted with truecrypt and mounted with ubuntu? If so, is there any way to fix it? When I mount a truecrypt drive in ubuntu 9.04 the write speed maxs out at 5.0 MB/s whether i connect it through usb 2.0 or esata... Thanks [22:13] DasEi: I could not use any of the other methods because of my onboard graphics [22:14] Kalmi_: probably not an option if there is already data on it [22:14] greetings! ubuntu newbie with a question here... [22:14] mattalexx: uninstall gdm [22:14] Fougner, Oh I thought server had Gnome too. Because it's the same size. [22:14] anyreason tar dosnt follow symlinks, i did some goolging and apparently tar cfh home.tar home/ should follow all symlinks, but it dosnt [22:14] MrPiracy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DebootstrapChroot (You read this too?) [22:14] mattalexx: or just disable it so it doesn't start [22:14] leaf-sheep: i'm not that new, but i have never used linux on a daily basis .... everytime i want to make it my default OS, i face so many problems i end up giving up [22:14] heading out, Peace all. [22:14] Hey, guys, how do you know which version of Ubuntu you have? [22:14] mattalexx, nope, the server is a little bit different =) [22:14] TallGrrl, speak up! [22:14] zortec: and can you d/l and burn in windows ? [22:14] lufis, http://beranger.org/v3/wordpress/2009/05/04/jaunty-kernel-2630-fixes-the-intel-video/ [22:14] thanks Fougner! [22:14] I don' [22:14] Cripple: System > about ubuntu [22:15] leaf-sheep: yes, i did ... kinda scary, one of those things that may get a whole lot of other thigns stop functioning [22:15] Thank you, lufis [22:15] the new intel driver also fixes it, afaik [22:15] i just got this book called ubuntu for non geeks (i'm a sort of geek but not fully...yet) and i've loaded ubuntu into my computer for dual booting with windows [22:15] TallGrrl, yep [22:15] go on ;D [22:15] defrysk: that doesn't seem to help. I'm running Karmic and my graphics card has apparently been blacklisted. [22:16] TallGrrl: you should check out tldp.org too [22:16] any good webcam/security software for ubuntu?? [22:16] the later kernel supports gem boosting intel big time [22:16] when i rebooted, i saw ubuntu loading, i think, then i got this screen that said something about a Busybox [22:16] defrysk: It says "Desktop effects could not be enabled" after it "Searches for drivers" [22:16] ah, error =) [22:16] lufis, what model card do you have ? [22:16] sekyourbox: I knew one, just a minute, it had an Egyptian name... [22:16] MrPiracy: What kind of problem? What machine btw? [22:16] how do i connect ubuntu 9.04 to a network [22:16] and there was something that looked like inframs\ [22:17] defrysk: intel gm965 [22:17] and it was asking for a command. [22:17] initramfs+ [22:17] yes! [22:17] MrPiracy: If that helps, I have a test machine running KDE. I can test-install and see if it goes well for me and Second Life too. [22:17] JoeKerr, it should automatically [22:17] TallGrrl, probably something went wrong at the boot [22:17] DasEi: I could before I wiped windows with gparted... heh [22:17] TallGrrl, what hardware do you work with? [22:17] fresh install and no options to configure tcp/ip [22:17] H00k, what was that command to do on windows? [22:17] leaf-sheep: SL is one of them ... before that i had a hard hard time to get my TV tunner working properly, openoffice wont open password protected excel files [22:17] Is it only with Matrox graphics card that the resolution in gnome gets totally fucked up (on a desktop computer) if you don't turn on the screen at once? [22:17] pc, windows xp [22:17] hmm [22:17] JoeKerr, just plug in an ethernet cable, and it ought to just connect. [22:17] do i need to reinstall? [22:17] leaf-sheep: amoung many other little issues that requires hours of searching [22:17] well, a little bit more specific? =) [22:17] Hey, I [22:17] I've had that experience...and the solution is simply to put the screen on before you power on the computer. [22:18] i'm sorry...what do you need to know? [22:18] lufis, try https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReinhardTartler/X/RevertingIntelDriverTo2.4 [22:18] TallGrrl, just some specs [22:18] any help getting wireless to work on a clean install of 9.04 [22:18] leaf-sheep: is ur test machine running 64bits jaunty? [22:18] anyway, maybe you see an error somewhere? [22:18] defrysk: thanks [22:18] Fougner, So the server edition doesn't include Gnome at all? [22:18] was an xp machine connected to a home network..didnt change anything ...but ubuntu won't connect [22:18] I'm back. Wondering about getting WineHQ to work so I can run Dwarf Fortress. I don [22:18] zortec: so ubuntu somehow recognized the cd, then.. first try would be a desktop live cd, next knoppix to check fstab and find out the right driver for your cd/dvd; also hardy desktop could work to get the right modul-name [22:18] mattalexx, shouldn't do nope.. it's made for headless servers [22:18] I don't have a system sources thing in my menu. [22:18] lufis, you will revert to an older version, but preformance is much better [22:19] i'm trying to install the desktop version from a copy of the disk that's in the book. [22:19] Hmm [22:19] JoeKerr, there is the occasional ethernet card that isn't supported. [22:19] mattalexx, I'm running my server headless.. administration via ssh is just fine.. [22:19] TallGrrl, ah, well, have you managed to finish the install? [22:19] MrPiracy: Well, when you're committing to a new OS, it require commitment and time before you get to hanging of it. After a while, you start to get smart. (ie, write down notes of your issues and the solutions) for future references. [22:19] DasEi: That is a lot of steps - I won't even remember all of that and I'm kind of exhausted in this hot weather trying to figure out what is wrong with my cdrom [22:19] MrPiracy: Yes. 64 Jaunty. [22:19] zortec: a case for dr. seldom if you could boot from it, but then drive doesn't show up anywhere [22:19] install finished, disk kicked out of my cd/dvd [22:19] leaf-sheep: heheheh, that's exactly what i am doing right now [22:20] sekyourbox: I have no idea where I got that Egyptian name from, but it's called motion - http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/WebHome [22:20] leaf-sheep: and i love new OS's, i got a bunch of them installed here [22:20] i got as far as the ubuntu setup window that says "reboot now" [22:20] I'm running Hardy Heron, and I'm wondering how I find System Sources if it's not a tab in my menu. [22:20] TallGrrl, aha, and now when you boot it up, you see the busybox ? [22:20] Cripple, Xubuntu, Ubuntu, Kubuntu? [22:20] zortec: k, take a paper, write down jaunty desktop, knoppix, hardy desktop, have a pinacolada, d/l those and try it later [22:20] ubun00b, thanks a bunch [22:20] Ubuntu, Bob_Dole [22:20] Hey guys....where does the casper-rw file go in the live usb ubuntu? [22:21] MrPiracy: I have "Notes.txt" and "Packages.txt" -- Notes and What Packages to remove/purge. Also, separate $HOME for easier life. [22:21] i get to choose windows or ubuntu. i choose ubuntu and then i get that Busybox screen [22:21] leaf-sheep: what's the video card u have in ur test machine? [22:21] zortec: google will give you the links [22:21] TallGrrl, do you see any error messages when in busybox? [22:21] BTW, the disk is for Hardy Heron [22:21] lemme fire-up xvnc on my server(which oddly, runs the desktop version, though I basically only do SSH administration >.>) [22:21] what is the learning curve for ubuntu for a windows user? [22:21] sekyourbox: no problem, learn & educate instead of fear & incriminate :) [22:21] Hey guys. Is it normal for a usb or esata hdd to have really slow write speeds when it is encrypted with truecrypt and mounted with ubuntu? If so, is there any way to fix it? When I mount a truecrypt drive in ubuntu 9.04 the write speed maxs out at 5.0 MB/s whether i connect it through usb 2.0 or esata... Thanks [22:21] leaf-sheep: a separate $home is a good tip ... i should have done that too [22:21] JoeKerr, depends ;) [22:21] no error messages, just the inframs\ and it says type "help" for a list of commands. [22:21] DasEi: Should I first reinstall windows? [22:21] My computer has been acting up lately, I'm not sure why... seems to be related to processor or memory. It worked just fine for quite a while on Jaunty, however recently it has been "clogging up" - I do simple things and if pseudo-freezes. Seemingly related is a random blip when I play music. Both of these get fixed when I close out a few processes, nothing in particular though. Any ideas? [22:22] TallGrrl, no lockups? no nothing? [22:22] and it gives me a list of commands that i don't know... === Socah|Afk is now known as Socah [22:22] no lock ups. [22:22] i can work networks with windows but i feel like an idiot with ubuntu [22:22] zortec:if one of them boots and shows your cd, can come here (even from live) again to extract the right mods [22:22] i don't know what command to give it [22:22] JoeKerr, its fairly easy as all the graphics and what not are very similar but it all depends on how indepth u want to go with it [22:22] and there's nothing in the book about if this happens. [22:22] I got an ubuntu live cd but my onboard graphics, is that going to prevent me from booting? [22:22] TallGrrl, busybox is a "swiss army knife" of commands, "included" in the kernel afaik [22:22] zortec: why reinstall windows ? [22:22] i can't even do the basics with the file system [22:22] TallGrrl, i know the solution [22:22] Does anyone here have experience with pendrivelinux? I'm trying to create a casper-rw file but I'm failing hard - http://www.pendrivelinux.com/how-to-create-a-larger-casper-rw-loop-file/ [22:22] DasEi: For burning a CD... [22:23] TallGrrl, well... it's not supposed to happen... :) [22:23] did u just install it TallGrrl ? [22:23] TallGrrl, external cd reader? [22:23] or is it when u pop in the live cd? [22:23] just installed. external cd reader/dvd player/burner [22:23] zortec: you don't dualboot ? [22:23] TallGrrl, external hdd too? [22:23] ubun00b, what is the install on? portable HDD or something? [22:23] i have an external hard drive, but it's unplugged. [22:24] DasEi: Yeah I was dual booting, but not sure if you remember I wanted to do a clean install of windows so I deleted the partition and created a new one of 80GB [22:24] TallGrrl, ok what is the ubuntu part say [22:24] DasEi: I don't have anything on that partition now [22:24] i'm trying to load ubuntu onto my c drive [22:24] in ur grub menu.lst? [22:24] what does the ubuntu part say? [22:24] MrPiracy: Talk here. I [22:24] Fougner: USB flashdrive, I tried the 1024 filesize, but when trying a 2048 filesize I got an error saying no space left (I'll copypaste my terminal results in a moment) [22:24] MrPiracy: I'll try in a bit. [22:24] it should say something like "kernal /boot/vmlinuz_2.26.9 something somethingsomething" [22:24] TallGrrl, try write "cat /boot/grub/menu.lst" in the busybox terminal [22:24] nothing. i saw the spash screen for a quick second and it looked like it was trying to open or load...then busy box came in [22:25] zortec: yes, oo; other question : is your sys updated/graded ? [22:25] Ok, too hot. My AC is fail, I'm dripping sweat... so I'm going to find someplace cool. [22:25] Fougner: [22:25] ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ dd if=/dev/zero of=casper-rw bs=1M count=2048 [22:25] dd: writing `casper-rw': No space left on device [22:25] DasEi: upgraded/graded how? [22:25] what should that do? [22:25] ubun00b, that's quite a "hard way" to do it.. at least for me ;D [22:25] TallGrrl, type in "cat /boot/grub/menu.lst" [22:25] that willl print your menu.lst [22:26] zortec: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [22:26] Fougner: I will bow to you if you have an easier way :P [22:26] which is the screen u get on boot up tht asks whether u want to load up ubuntu or soemthign else [22:26] ubun00b, to get things straight. you want an install of ubuntu on a flash drive, no? [22:26] mobi-sheep: ok, thx [22:26] wait...is that Lst or 1st? [22:26] lst [22:26] ell ess tee [22:26] :) [22:26] ah! thanks! [22:26] short for "list" [22:26] minus the "i" [22:27] SuspectZero, what do you suspect the problem is? [22:27] l1 have the same character for a lot of fonts, it drives me mad [22:27] Fougner, tht would have been the smarter way of saying it [22:27] I keep my webcam in the new box and hook it up. No one would suspect [22:27] thought so! [22:27] Kalmi_, the root=/ is pointing to the wrong partition [22:27] Fougner: I have the persistent install already on my flashdrive, but not enough room (my casper-rw file atm is around 800mb, and I want one to have 2048mb) [22:27] just put holes in the package for the wire [22:27] so what should be on this list i'm telling it to give me? [22:27] its an argument in the kernal section [22:27] SuspectZero, Ubuntu is using GUIDs... hwo could that happen? [22:27] people have been taking stuff from my room, ill catchem now [22:27] ah, so you're trying to create one with different size [22:28] Kalmi_, no idea. ive just found that getting rid of the guids and using a root=/ does the trick [22:28] DasEi: I thought there was an icon to upgrade/update your system? [22:28] Fougner: that's entirely correct :) [22:28] GUID or UUID? [22:28] ubun00b, hey, where does that casper-rw file go? :) [22:28] jdu, uuid [22:28] zortec: if you used it, it does the same [22:28] after i get this menu list printed...then what? [22:28] I kinda hate uuids. [22:28] ubun00b, you don't want to boot the live-cd and boot/setup ubuntu on the flashdrive that way? [22:28] photobug13: in your root directory of your flashdrive if IIRC [22:29] TallGrrl, look for a line that starts with kernal [22:29] copy and paste that line here [22:29] Mostly because when acronis resizes partitions to fit on a 30MB smaller driver, it just obliterates them. [22:29] abac [22:29] i'm trying to write cd image to a disk, i only have a dvd-r dl available, braero can't find the media and k3b refuses to write a cd image to dvd-r dl any suggestions? [22:29] Oh nice...thanks! Hmm I wonder why mine never recognizes... I'll keep trying thanks! [22:29] photobug13: no prob :) [22:29] SuspectZero, that's what I thought. you can use the vol_id command to find out whether the uuid listed is correct for the drive you want to be / [22:29] zortec: little craziness is a side effect of study, so don't get mad and let the cd check for you [22:29] nightrid3r, i think k3b requires extra plugins for that, but i could be wrong [22:30] i'm going to have to get out of windows, restart my computer and try and reboot in ubuntu and find this line and bring it back here? [22:30] nightride3r: Yes,,one moment [22:30] jdu, oh i didnt know that. [22:30] SuspectZero: k i'll check that [22:30] * Bob_Dole still sweating. can't think of anyplace cooler to go that doesn't require a lot of physical effort..no car and such.. [22:30] a [22:30] SuspectZero, jdu.... sorry... guid is the M$ word for uuid... "g" stands for global... "u" stands for universally... duh... [22:30] TallGrrl, can we take this to pm [22:30] it would be easier [22:30] DasEi: Try a Live CD of ubuntu first? [22:30] Fougner: I'm already on the liveCD (ubuntu liveCD 9.04), and I'm trying to create a casper-rw file that way (as it's described on http://www.pendrivelinux.com/how-to-create-a-larger-casper-rw-loop-file/) [22:30] TallGrrl: at the moment I'm not seeing another way... [22:30] 'k [22:30] i'll take this one guys [22:30] :) [22:30] ubun00b, what fs do you use on the usb drive? [22:30] DasEi: What if I have that onboard graphics issue? [22:30] TallGrrl do you have another machine? [22:30] any xmodmap/keyboard mapping gurus around? [22:31] Kalmi_, ok. :) on linux, the g often refers to group [22:31] zortec : as told above, again , really strange behaviour if you installed from a cd, and then the rom neither appears in logs, hardinfo or dmesg [22:31] Fougner: fdisk -l shows me it's FAT32 (/dev/sdb1) [22:31] DasEi: maybe ubuntu doesn't have support for my cdrom? [22:32] and it's a 4GB flashdrive [22:32] DasEi: I know that is strange, but it's one thought [22:32] ... but in this case it is universal which is of course the same as global... [22:32] So, everyone has All-In-Ones these days.. they finally caught on to the awesome design apple had for years Dx [22:32] ubun00b, ah, well, and where is the "error" ? [22:32] nightrid3r: Here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements [22:32] thx [22:32] DasEi, is there a device in /dev [22:32] ? [22:33] DasEi, eg /dev/scd0 [22:33] zortec : saw jdu ? [22:33] TallGrrl do you have another machine? [22:33] nightrid3r: That also shows alot of other stuff, but it shows what is suggested to use. [22:33] DasEi: nope [22:33] DasEi, oh sorry; was I speaking to wrong person :/ [22:33] does ubuntu 8.04 come with an irc client? [22:33] Fougner: the error occurs when I try to do the dd command, and using 2048mb instead of the 1024mb listed on the example of the pendrivelinux website (I'll upload my log, just a moment) [22:33] zortec, try to write /dev/cd in the terminal, and then press the "tab"-button twive [22:33] good [22:33] such a great chat room, no wonder ubuntu is such a succesful distro [22:34] SuspectZero, yes, pidgin or you can install Xchat [22:34] My computer has been acting up lately, I'm not sure why... seems to be related to processor or memory. It worked just fine for quite a while on Jaunty, however recently it has been "clogging up" - I do simple things and if pseudo-freezes. Seemingly related is a random blip when I play music. Both of these get fixed when I close out a few processes, nothing in particular though. Any ideas? [22:34] Fougner: What should happen? [22:34] suspect: Pidgin supports it, and it ships by default, but you can install xchat, and several others [22:34] *sigh* I think I've hosed my server. I did apt-get update and apt-get upgrade and now I'm unmet dependencies for gcc-4.2 and libraries [22:34] zortec, it should auto-complete or list a few alternates [22:34] I have a network issue that I"m hoping someone knows something about. When I transfer huges amounts of data over my network (rsync approx 1 TB of data over thousands of files, music, movies, etc) on gigabit network, it ocassionally locks up and all network activity stops. IRC, SSH, rsync, FTP, everything. It clears up about 1 or 2 minutes later, but until then it's stopped entirely [22:34] Fougner: It doesn't list anything... [22:34] Fougner: here it is http://pastebin.ca/1498726 [22:34] actually Empathy is coming in as default in the next release [22:34] zortec, depending on the cdrom drive it might also start with sr sc etc [22:34] jdu: I don't know what those are... [22:35] zortec, this way [22:35] jdu Sorry I'm also tired. I have been working on this issue since about 10am [22:35] zortec, in linux, there are device files in /dev that represent you hardware [22:35] ls /dev | grep cdrw [22:35] It's 2:30pm now [22:35] zortec, execute that cmd [22:35] vigo: i just need to get the image written, the install box is a new quad core so it meets all the specs [22:35] zortec, if they do not exist, it means the hardware is probably not recognized [22:35] Orange_v_Blue, what RAM and processor do you have? [22:35] Fougner: Nothing [22:36] sixdraw: 2 GB ram, 1.46 processor. I only wonder because this is a recent issue, and nothing dramatic seems to have changed. is there something I can clean out, maybe? [22:36] jdu: he said he installed with the textinstaller, and rom neither shows up in syslog, dmesg or hwinfo, so pobly a missing module in jaunty, though on the installer cd, that's why trying live jaunty-hardy knoppix [22:36] sixdraw: 1.46ghz, sorry [22:36] nightri3r: here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GettingUbuntu [22:36] zortec, try to tab with /dev/s then [22:36] There is a "pktcdvd" when I grep for cd in /dev [22:36] Orange_v_Blue, is the processor dual core or just pentium 3? [22:36] I'm having a problem in Ubuntu 9.04, can anyone help me? [22:36] hmm [22:36] zortec, your cd is a SATA-unit? [22:36] !ask | hunterm10 [22:36] hunterm10: 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. :-) [22:37] Fougner: PATA is all I know [22:37] ok [22:37] nightri3dr: and here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto [22:37] Fougner: I guess pata is a form of sata [22:37] sixdraw: just pentium 3... or at least not dualcore [22:37] zortec, no, not really [22:37] I like P3s.. I want more of them, in the 1ghz range. [22:37] hi all [22:37] hunterm10: no one can help you if you do not ask a question [22:37] MrPiracy: Linux is fun. I'm learning as I install debootstrap for no reason other than helping you. :) [22:38] Fougner: When I tab with /dev/s I get sda1/sda2/sda3 [22:38] Orange_v_Blue, Well it sounds like you may be running software that's too graphics intensive for you processor such as compiz? [22:38] zortec: is it connected with a flat ide cable or a slim sata cable (often red or yellow) [22:38] mobi-sheep: learning what? [22:38] can someone try something out so I know the bug that i seem to have found is reproduced in other systems? [22:38] DasEi: I connected it with a red cable I believe, but let me check again [22:38] hi is it possible to install new firefox 3.5.1 to hardy 8.04.3? [22:38] MrPiracy: How to chroot 32bit in 64bit apps. [22:38] DasEi: or black [22:38] zortec, those are your partitions on the HDD.. I'd say [22:38] zortec, it is really strange for it not to work; i volunteer at a place where we put ubuntu on lots of computers and the drives only don't work if they are (1) extremely old inwhich case the install won't work even or (2) dead [22:38] !fx-3.5 | fantazam [22:38] Sorry, I don't know anything about fx-3.5 [22:38] DasEi: you can get them in any color [22:38] mobi-sheep: did u try to run SL first? [22:39] Orange_v_Blue, have you enabled desktop effects etc.? [22:39] sixdraw: don't have it. This happens with supposedly low-intense stuff going on---printing to pdf from a webpage, listening to music [22:39] MrPiracy: From the getdeb? [22:39] fantazam, try getfirefox.com? :P [22:39] fantazam: I believe it's possible but not recommended for it's a really new version and probably buggy therefor [22:39] I have a network issue that I"m hoping someone knows something about. When I transfer huges amounts of data over my network (rsync approx 1 TB of data over thousands of files, music, movies, etc) on gigabit network, it ocassionally locks up and all network activity stops. IRC, SSH, rsync, FTP, everything. It clears up about 1 or 2 minutes later, but until then it's stopped entirely [22:39] hmm, it seems to be connected with an ide cable [22:39] nightrd3r: I gave the first as a sorta guide, the second is HowToBurn Iso, I hope that helped. [22:39] mobi-sheep: both ... www.secondlife.com and getdeb [22:39] my 320gb hard drive is connected with a red sata cable [22:39] hey, quick questin.. How do you know when your casper-rw file is working? Does it show roughly 4GB free when it is set up right? [22:39] yea but theres no .deb packages [22:39] for new firefox [22:39] sixdraw: no, they're all off. i have a crappy graphics card, so I try and avoid that issue in the first place [22:39] histo: I'll order one in grey with a red stripe on one side ;-) [22:39] mobi-sheep: i believe they're not gonna work [22:39] MrPiracy: Going to getdeb now.. [22:39] Orange_v_Blue, fair enough, strange though [22:39] ubun00b, did you know you need 7zip to unzip the 4GB casper file from pendrivelinux.com? [22:39] In ubuntu 9.04, with both expo and cube activated, if you try to "rotate cube" (e.g. press the key binding to rotate left) while expo is open, compiz segfaults (it doesn't crash X, just compiz dies) [22:40] can someone confirm this? [22:40] Orange_v_Blue, usually that's what causes those problems [22:40] zortec, plugged in, etc, I hope too [22:40] MrPiracy: Btw, getdeb is always a good source to get your apps. [22:40] My 320GB Sata drive is connected with a translucent sky-blue sata cable :D [22:40] sixdraw: I know..... something's taking up lots of processor or ram, but I'm not even sure what. [22:40] mobi-sheep: i believe getdeb is more complete, it will come with some extra packages needed for it to run [22:40] The others can be unzipped with the regular archive manager except the 4GB one if I remember right [22:40] jdu: Yeah it's plugged in, hardware is working, but for some damn reason it just does not get recognized in ubuntu [22:40] ascheel, did it happen in the last few minutes? [22:40] mobi-sheep: yes, i noticed that [22:40] I'm using ubuntu, in wubi, and I keep trying to download packages, but it will stop downloading 2 packages until the finish, it's having problems with getting progrms that have translating in the name... [22:40] zortec: is the cdrom known working? [22:40] jdu: I mean, haven't had this issue with windows and linux mint I think recognized the cdrom but I can't remember [22:40] !fx-3.5 [22:40] Sorry, I don't know anything about fx-3.5 [22:40] photobug13: it looks like a normal file, and if you implement it right (i.e.: copy+paste it to your root of your pendrive), all your settings will still be there and will have persistency :) [22:40] Kalmi_: I can reproduce it any time I need just by running rsync or FTP and start pushing very large files [22:40] zortec: check the master slave settings on your cdrom. [22:40] histo: yeah, cdrom drive is working without any glitch [22:41] !tremulous [22:41] Sorry, I don't know anything about tremulous [22:41] how do I open a port on my machine? [22:41] Dx [22:41] fantazam, there is a ppa repo for firefox dev builds.... [22:41] and how do I see what ports are already opened [22:41] sixdraw: the processes I usually kill to make things work better (because I know vaguely what's unneccessary) are pulseaudio (i usually use alsa), bluetooth (don't have it, why does it keep loading?), things like that... [22:41] !ff3.5 | fantazam [22:41] fantazam: 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 [22:41] histo: what am I checking for? [22:41] zortec, have you googled the make to see if people have problems with it? If it worked in mint, it should be fine with ubuntu though. [22:41] zortec: you just said you had this issue with windows [22:41] Oh nice... Ok thanks ubun00b thanks.. was just wondering if it would show freespace of 4GB and then get filled with whatever you put but I'll try that...this stuff confuses me haha [22:41] jdu: I can't find anyone who has a similar problem with this particular drive [22:41] Hello everyone.. have a sound problem. running 9.04 and ONLY get sound with Totem and when testing, I get the 'test tone'... been through the 'comprehensive sound guide' on the Ubuntu forums.. no luck [22:41] tnx i will go to last link for ffx 3.5 [22:41] how do I open a port on my machine? and how do I see what ports are already opened? [22:41] sixdraw: I told ubuntu not to load bluetooth, but for some reason it always does anyway. not sure what that is, but that's a whole 'nother problem. [22:41] Fougner: it wasn't my intention to get a casper-rw file from pendrivelinux.com (that will lose my current settings), it was my intention to make a new (larger) one while booting into liveCD from ubuntu [22:41] zortec: on the back of the cdrom there is a jumper for master/slave/cable select make sure its set appropriately. [22:41] * Bob_Dole has already changed the default executable for tremulous. using TJW's backport rather than the original executable. Runs great, and "your client is old!" warning.) [22:42] jdu: however, on the site where I got the drive the question was asked "does the drive work with ubuntu" and no answer was posted [22:42] zortec: you can only have 1 master and 1 slave on a ide cable [22:42] jdu: I'm not 100% sure if it works or not [22:42] MrPiracy: getdeb's SecondLife's deb worked. [22:42] ubun00b, but apparently you don't have the space [22:42] zortec: ahh who makes it? [22:42] mobi-sheep: how????????? [22:42] ubun00b, how much free space is it? [22:42] kalmi_: do you have installed 3.5.1? [22:42] lite-on, let me get you the full make (got it from tigerdirect) [22:42] zortec: it should work [22:42] MrPiracy: I install the deb from getdeb. Are you sure you got the right deb? o.O [22:43] Lite-On DH-20A4P-04 SuperAllwrite OEM DVD Burner - 20x DVD±R Burn, 16x DVD±R Read, 8x DVD+RW, 6x DVD-RW, 8x DVD±R DL, 12x DVD-RAM, 48x32x CD-R/RW, PATA, Black (L12-1142 OEM) [22:43] that is the full make and model of the drive [22:43] mobi-sheep: whatś ur video card? [22:43] can anyone help!? [22:43] zortec: as long as its not defective. Do you have anything else on the cable that is running to the cdrom like another cdrom or harddrive [22:43] my question is: I'm using ubuntu, in wubi, and I keep trying to download packages, but it will stop downloading 2 packages until the finish, it's having problems with getting progrms that have translating in the name... [22:43] fantazam, no... i am using the official repos.... but there is an offical ppa [22:43] zortec: there should be no problem with that. [22:43] MrPiracy: Try this. [22:43] mobi-sheep: right deb? there was only one deb [22:43] MrPiracy: No... There are like 5. [22:43] Fougner: that's what it's telling me indeed, but how can I free some space in order to make this file? (I have 4GB ddr3 RAM on my laptop currently) [22:43] zortec: I'll gfy, but that's not at all exotic [22:43] anyone here who can help with sound problems? [22:43] mobi-sheep: wow, i saw only one [22:43] histo: but what I can't explain is the drive works 100% in windows, it's just when I boot into ubuntu the kernel doesn't even seem to notice I have a cdrom [22:43] mobi-sheep: let me go back to the site [22:43] ascheel, ok... do it... and after it happens have a look at the output of "dmesg | tail" and post anything suspicios that you see here [22:44] MrPiracy: http://www.getdeb.net/download/4351/0 [22:44] MrPiracy: Or you find it yourself. :o [22:44] hunterm10, that it really strange. But if it is related to wubi, probably few people have experienced it here. [22:44] zortec: Is anything else on the same cable? [22:44] DasEi: I don't know if it's a problem with a dual boot system or really what the issue is here [22:44] Orange_v_Blue, I presume you've checked system-?preferences-?startup applications [22:44] MrPiracy: Seems like PEBKAC. Problem Exists Between Keyboard And Chair. :) [22:44] ubun00b, you're on the live cd now right? [22:44] Kalmi_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/220796/ [22:44] photobug13: also these pages have some nifty info - http://www.pendrivelinux.com/category/tools/ [22:44] Orange_v_Blue, oops replace ? with > [22:44] mobi-sheep: ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh [22:44] my bad [22:44] In ubuntu 9.04, with both expo and cube activated, if you try to "rotate cube" (e.g. press the key binding to rotate left) while expo is open, compiz segfaults (it doesn't crash X, just compiz dies). [22:44] i see them now [22:44] Fougner: yes that's correct [22:44] Can someone please try to reproduce that? [22:45] zortec: Anything else on the same ide cable? [22:45] ascheel, wth... [22:45] Ohhh thanks ubun00b ! I could use that [22:45] sixdraw: yea, that's where I'm turning it off. still keeps coming up for some reason. It's bluetooth capable, but doesn't actually have it installed (ya know, a big open space inside, but nothing's there) [22:45] histo: nothing else connected to that cable [22:45] histo: it runs from the drive into the motherboard [22:45] ubun00b, what you try to do, according to the log you posted, is to create a 1GB file in the RAM fs [22:45] hi [22:45] ascheel, post the full output of dmesg.... [22:45] anyone knows how to create a deb with diferent cflags and cxxflags? [22:45] mobi-sheep: geez, i'm stupid [22:45] Kalmi_: lol, my thoughts exactly. [22:45] ubun00b, what you WANT to do, is to create a casper-rw on the usb [22:45] @jdu well the thing is it will try to download everything and almost all of it will not download, those ones that dont download, all they do is just say failed [22:45] Kalmi_: standby [22:45] does anyone know, why i cant install php5.3 on my local machine as apache2 module ? [22:45] zortec: Set it as master on the jumper. Maybe there is an issue witht eh bios and cable select that windows is okay with but nix isn't. [22:46] zortec: i've seen stranger things happen. [22:46] ubun00b, so..if you cd /to/the/place/ where your usb is "mounted" then you can create with the same command, and of=usb [22:46] MrPiracy: Heh. It's okay. Let me know if it works for you. Meanwhile, I'm installing 32-bit Jaunty minimal base in debchroot at the moment. :) [22:46] Kalmi_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/220797/ [22:46] histo: I haven't done that before, how does that work? [22:46] vigo: i must be realy stupid today, my writer doesn't support dvd-r dl disks :) [22:46] ubun00b, you're with me? =) [22:46] zortec: yes, supported http://www.bioticaindia.com/lite-on-20x-pata-dvdrw-dh20a4p-04.html [22:46] i got the following error: apache2: Syntax error on line 185 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: Syntax error on line 1 of /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/php5.load: Cannot load /usr/lib/apache2/modules/libphp5.so into server: /usr/lib/apache2/modules/libphp5.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [22:46] hunterm10, is the installation new? [22:46] mobi-sheep: ok, i'll be right back [22:46] MrPiracy: Most of time, people don't need to use chroot for that. I'm sure you won't. I myself haven't neeed to. Alrigh. [22:46] zortec: on the back of the drive usually between were the power and ide connections are there should be a vertical jumper. [22:46] Orange_v_Blue, trry this -> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1173629 [22:46] MrPiracy: Let me know if it works for you. :) [22:46] I've installed sun-jdk and then went to run apt-get install ant and it wants to install gcj. How do I make ant realize I want to use sun's java? I already used update-java-alternatives -s sun-6-jdk and typing java -version at the prompt proves it calls sun's java (the only one installed). [22:46] @jdu absloutly, just installed hour ago [22:46] zortec: youc an change its position for either master / slave / cable select [22:47] DasEi: what is that link you just gave me? I see it's supported by xp/vista, but not linux [22:47] ubun00b, when you have the live cd, and you pop in the usb, it should auto-mount and you can see an icon on the dekstop, no? [22:47] Fougner: I see, so I replace the target dir (in this case ubuntu) into teh mnt dir of the flashdrive? === P is now known as Guest15832 [22:47] hunterm10, run: sudo apt-get update and see if that helps. [22:47] ubun00b, of = output file or something [22:47] Fougner: I did a manual mount because it failed an automount, but theoretically yeah ;p [22:47] zortec: read last line [22:47] @jdu ok just wait a sec [22:47] so you have to change directory [22:47] Orange_v_Blue, if you have a Dell or perhaps other laptops wupport it, then you can try disabling the option in your bios [22:47] hunterm10, that may not do anything [22:47] or , make the command of=/mnt/usb/casper-rw something like that [22:48] Hey guys how can i restart the calendar app in ubuntu 9.04 it sort of got stuck so i cant minimize it. thanks [22:48] zortec: it will work in nix something else is going on. [22:48] DasEi: I noticed it said some drivers [22:48] sixdraw, it's a really old (~4 years) acer [22:48] histo: Can I do this while the computer is on or I need to turn it off? [22:48] zortec: turn the machine off change the jumper then power up [22:49] zortec: the jumper from the factory is most liekly set for cable select. Change it to master and turn the computer on. [22:49] Orange_v_Blue, Edit /etc/default/bluetooth and change the line "BLUETOOTH_ENABLED=1" to "BLUETOOTH_ENABLED=0" [22:49] Fougner: so in other words, my command would look something like: dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/nano casper-rw bs=1M count=2048 [22:49] histo: I can't see the jumper right now [22:49] can anyone help me setup grub [22:49] jumpers? someone has jumpers? oh, on the mobo [22:49] ubun00b, if the usb is mounted in /mnt/ yes [22:49] Orange_v_Blue, that seems like the best way to me [22:49] jack_: no, not just anyone [22:49] @jdu its frozen at 98% Waiting For Headers [22:49] ubun00b, in ubuntu, things often get mount under /media/... but that's just when it's installed on the HDD maybe. I don't know [22:49] Anybody? [22:49] mobi-sheep: i will [22:49] zortec: you might have to pull the drive. There should be a sticker on the drive that will explain the setting. Also some text on the back explaining. [22:49] Fougner: is there a chance that it will overwrite my original casper-rw file, hence deleting all my persistent settings that I have atm ? [22:49] ubun00b, is there an icon on the desktop? [22:50] dudu: What's the name of the app? [22:50] sixdraw: while I've got someone who knows what they're talking about, have you tried the system janitor? Might that help the mystery processor/ram clogs? [22:50] jack_ what have you done so far [22:50] histo: Yeah I see a diagram that I can follow, let me set it to master and I will be back [22:50] ubun00b, yes, if the file is named casper-rw, it will be overwritten [22:50] dudu: Are you talking about the calendar that's part of the clock in gnome panel? [22:50] ascheel, did it work ok somewhen in the past? [22:50] edbian, i dont know, its just the main calendar/time app [22:50] edbian yeah [22:50] Kalmi_: not that I know of, no. [22:50] dudu: You could kill and restart the panel [22:50] Fougner: nope, but it's mounted under /mnt/nano [22:50] dudu: open a terminal [22:50] edbian, ok, how? [22:50] Why do I get these errors? http://pastebin.com/m1af7d10d [22:50] zortec: what is it set to now? [22:50] Anyone here good at trouble shooting sound problems? [22:50] ubun00b, however, google for "resize casper rw" if you really had a hard time configuring it [22:50] dudu: type "killall gnome-panel" [22:50] !sound | bluedalek [22:50] bluedalek: 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). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [22:50] ubun00b, ok [22:50] DasEi: I also ran sudo apt-get upgrade & apt-get update [22:51] Kalmi_: I don't know if it makes a difference, but I also have a second NIC in that PC, also gigabit, very similar chipset. [22:51] hunterm10, hmm. It sometimes takes a little bit. If it really can't complete, it may be that there is a repository it can't access or some other network problem. [22:51] nsadmin, i have two harddrives. one has vista and then i unplugged that harddrive and installed linux on the other. now even if i try to boot into the other harddrive it takes me to grub which doesnt' have vista. it used to work and i've done that a few times already [22:51] ascheel, which works fine? [22:51] Orange_v_Blue, I'm really not sure about that. haven't tried janitor yet but i suppose its worth a try. The guy on that post actually said sudo /usr/lib/hal/hal-system-smbios --bt 0 is the best way to stop bluetooth [22:51] so try that [22:51] Fougner: I think I'll do that since I really want to maintain my settings there [22:51] Kalmi_: and I think when I get home, I'm yanking it from the PC. Actually no, it only connects at 100 mbit. /shrug [22:51] no suggestions ? [22:51] dudu: You can use The system monitor if you prefer GUI (or to learn the names of processes if you get stuck like this again :) ) [22:51] histo: I'm thinking slave or master [22:51] @jdu its download some packages now :D [22:51] histo: But I can't tell for sure [22:52] edbian, thanks. the calendar got out of the way, but i cant see the time... doesnt matter ill just reboot eventually i guess. thanks again [22:52] edbian: htop > system monitor (IMO anyhow) [22:52] Why do I get these errors? http://pastebin.com/m1af7d10d [22:52] hunterm10, good. all of them? [22:52] can someone tell me how to rebuild de gnome menu list? most shortcuts wont work :s [22:52] ascheel, both pci? [22:52] jack_ um ar you there? [22:52] Fougner: I really appreciate all the help you gave me :) [22:52] http://pastebin.ca/1498743 [22:52] Kalmi_: one is on-board, other is PCI [22:52] dudu: see what ascheel said? ^ [22:52] Kalmi_: on-board one is the one currently in use. [22:52] ubun00b, np [22:52] MidnightDevil, update-grub [22:52] dudu: If a restart doesn't fix it let me know! I'd love to help more :) [22:52] mobi-sheep: hmmm nope, it is not running ... it installed though [22:52] Orange_v_Blue, try asking the board again, maybe someone can help you with the slow system problems [22:53] sixdraw: I'll try both, since I already did the first one [22:53] ubun00b, try this [22:53] MrPiracy: Installed.... and you ran the SecondLife button? [22:53] nsadmin, yes. I just typed a long reply lol [22:53] isnt grub exactly jdu, its the gnome menu [22:53] :) [22:53] sixdraw: thanks a bunch [22:53] ascheel, (i hate realtek :) let's have a look at the output of "cat /proc/interrupts" [22:53] mobi-sheep: from the menu, yes [22:53] MidnightDevil, oh. I saw menu.lst [22:53] Kalmi_: I have already done all those steps. My sound works fine in Totem, but not in any other app such as VLC, Moovida, Amarok.. ect.. [22:53] histo: It's set as slave [22:53] Kalmi_: you got it! Standby [22:53] sixdraw: I would like to mention that ubuntu has far, far, better support than anything else I've ever used on a computer. [22:53] :) [22:53] MrPiracy: Any error messages or such? [22:53] ubun00b, you caaan do it this way.. dd if=/dev/zero bs=1M count=500 >> casper-rw [22:53] mobi-sheep: nothing happened ... i tried to run secondlife from the terminal and it showed me the same messages [22:53] >> = append [22:53] sixdraw: no stupid phone menus or anything :) [22:53] > = overwrite [22:54] mobi-sheep: no errors, just nothing happening [22:54] MidnightDevil, not really what you typed. You can edit it with the menu editor and that is all I know [22:54] mobi-sheep: maybe i screwd my system too much [22:54] Orange_v_Blue, no problem, yeah I know it does, I've been using it since the first distro and haven't turned back [22:54] should a cdrom drive be running as a slave? [22:54] zortec, not if there is more than one [22:54] is there a image viewer available that will only pop up the image, no window borders or anything? [22:54] MrPiracy: Hmmm. You think you did? Either way it should work because you installed it recently. [22:54] jdu: there is only one cdrom [22:54] bluedalek, have it ever worked ok before? [22:54] zortec, I mean not unless there is more than one [22:54] http://paste.ubuntu.com/220798/ [22:54] sixdraw: only thing that worries me is now that this one works so well, It's physically falling apart, and I need a new one.... that works with ubuntu. That part's slightly annoying, but worth it [22:54] Fougner: thanks, but won't that let me create a 500mb casper file? (I really need a 1GB+ one) [22:54] Kalmi_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/220798/ [22:55] zortec, then it should be cable select or master [22:55] ok tks [22:55] mobi-sheep: let me reboot and see if it works [22:55] I'm going to change it to master and see what happens [22:55] mobi-sheep: brb [22:55] ok jack_ so you have grub on the drive, you just need to add the boot stanza for the other os to your /boot/grub/menu.lst [22:55] no suggestions ? [22:55] ubun00b, you _append_ on the exisiting casper-rw file [22:55] Anyone have experience with computer janitor or solving system slowdowns (unrelated to video)? Wondering if one would help the other [22:55] Because of recent events, for my own personal sanity, I'd like to get a linux Anti-Virus. What would you recommend for Ubuntu? ClamAV? [22:55] ubun00b, then you should run the command "resize2fs casper-rw" [22:55] Orange_v_Blue: "this one" what? computer? [22:55] nsadmin, i'm not sure where grub is (im assuming my 2nd harddrive since the first one was disabled) and i'm not use how to add the other os [22:55] zortec:so it's pata, are you sure to have master/slave jumper setted correctly ? [22:56] epicreviews, if you have the 32bit verison you could try AVG ;D [22:56] I have 64 bit [22:56] is anyone familiar with glipper? how does the nopaste function work? [22:56] Attempting to play videos on my Eee, but the CPU isn't powerful enough to handle it - I happen to have an Ubuntu Server idling in the building and I'm looking for a way to have the server help my Eee with the decoding and playback of videos... Does anyone have any suggestions? [22:56] Why do I get these errors? http://pastebin.com/m1af7d10d [22:56] mneptok: oh, yea my current laptop is glued together. but that's a whole 'nother issue too [22:56] jack_: the thing is I dunno how to boot vista either... so, we need more information [22:56] epicreviews: a virus scanner is really not necessary [22:56] epicreviews, then clam would be my first option [22:56] fougner: thanks very much, I'll try that one :) [22:56] burkmat: 1.6 GHz Atom CPU? === prez is now known as PreZ [22:57] nsadmin, are you asking me for information or are you telling me that you don't know how to help? [22:57] ascheel, 900 MHz iirc. [22:57] Anyone have experience with computer janitor or solving system slowdowns (unrelated to video)? Wondering if one would help the other. [22:57] not sure [22:57] burkmat, maybe convert the videos to a lower rate? [22:57] epicreviews: also you can get antivir to work on cmd-line [22:57] like when i select nopaste in glipper, absolutely nothing happens. does anyone know how to fix this? [22:57] is there a graphical frontend for clamav? [22:57] burkmat: don't bother trying. You are simply not going to be watching anything higher than low-end video. I'm on a 1.6 GHz and I can barely even watch Youtube [22:57] ubun00b, don't forget to backup the casper-rw file :O [22:57] epicreviews: depends on what you aim to use the AV for, I'd say that if you want proper real-time scanning I'd guess you'd have to go proprietary... [22:57] Fougner, well... I want the higher rate, playing it on a 40" LCD so quality is appreciated.

I have no idea what that means... [22:58] burkmat, then I don't know =) [22:58] Fougner: definitely, I won't forget you or what you've said :) [22:58] hi, ive been having a problem shutting down, if i watch a console i see it fails to unmount / cuz its busy and it says will now restart and just hangs, i always just did ctrl+alt+del but eventually corruption catches up with me (that and root keeps needing to be rechecked) [22:58] Fougner: thanks very much again! [22:58] ascheel, but since I have a 3 GHz AMD idling in the house... shouldn't it be able to help in some way? even if it ends up being the server playing the movie and just streaming to my Eee in some way? [22:59] can someone please help me fix glipper? [22:59] burkmat: even if the video streams it, your eee has to decode it no matter what. Only thing that other PC can do is downsample it. [22:59] Kalmi_: I agree. [22:59] Did somebody manage to get Moonlight working with the Feynman lectures? [22:59] (in firefox) [22:59] ubun00b, I've got a 4GB usb too.. no use for now.. what did you first do? [22:59] Could someone have a look at this /proc/interrupts file and tell me what that 220 means? http://paste.ubuntu.com/220798/ (it's for ascheel) [22:59] ascheel, Hm... Alright, guess I better just try to get the AMD plugged into the TV. [23:00] burkmat: that's my advice [23:00] mobi-sheep: didn't work .... if i run from the terminal i get this http://pastebin.com/m529348c3 [23:00] Anyone have experience with the computer janitor? [23:01] anyone ave experience with glipper the gnome paste application?

[23:01] I rlly fucked up [23:01] !language | Shawnc [23:01] Shawnc: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [23:01] hello [23:01] Fougner: no prob, again thanking you for your support, I'll see you some other time! [23:02] any chance to convince sabayon into working under ubuntu?

[23:02] i tried to mess around with my wireless card [23:02] could someone run a quick test to see if my bug is really a bug so i can report it? [23:02] ascheel, yeah... but why is IRQ 220 assigned to it... and what does such a high IRQ means at all... [23:02] now I can't use it anymore [23:02] please?

[23:03] so, again, anyway to revert back like an hour ago? [23:03] Shawnc, wht were u doing [23:03] Kalmi_: this isn't mine, but look at this example. Plenty of IRQs in the 200+ range: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=910157 [23:03] Shawnc, pm me [23:03] can anyone point me in the right direction??

[23:03] Shawnc: The line "dpkg: status database area is locked by another process" looks like another dpkg or apt-get is running at the same time. If none is running you may need to remove /var/lib/dpkg/lock to release the lock. [23:03] does anyone here use glipper the clipboard manager. if yes, can someone help me get it to work? [23:03] mobi-sheep: i got the package for jaunty 64bits [23:04] stroyan: i don't need help with that anymore, i just need to revert back an hour please. [23:04] Shawnc, no but the more info u give me the better i can help u [23:04] How do I do that? [23:04] Shawnc, there is no such thing as a time machine in linux [23:04] ascheel, hmm... PCI-MSI-edge.... [23:04] w [23:04] Shawnc, tell me whht u were doing wht commands u typed, etc [23:04] Shawnc: You could reinstall and slowly run the clock forward to get to one hour ago. [23:04] thts the only way we can revert it. by undoing those commands [23:05] MrPiracy: Wait. [23:05] SuspectZero, could you help me undo the rm -rf / then? =) [23:05] MrPiracy: Did you uninstall the old debs before you tried the right getdeb deb? [23:05] Shawnc: You could maybe describe what your system is like now and what you want it to be like in specific detail and we could help you get it that way. [23:05] any ubuntu expert here? [23:05] bpascal123, probably not =) [23:05] Fougner, recovery software ftw [23:05] Kalmi_: I'm wondering what that means too and I haven't found any solid answers [23:05] XD [23:05] bpascal123: What's your question (I am not claiming to be an expert) [23:06] ok edbian [23:06] mobi-sheep: i didnt get the other deb installed, but i downloaded and umpacked the one from secondlife.com ... it's not a installer, just a script [23:06] jack_: telling you I only know part of how to help. the booting vista part is what I don't know, but once we do know, I do know what to put in the menu.lst [23:06] Ubuntu desktop - there are no miniatures on workspaces [23:06] but your grub is set up now except for that part [23:06] ascheel, ok... high IRQ still seem magic too me... whatever... You could try googlig "NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0 (r8169): transmit timed out"... There are a lot of hots with different suggestions... :) First thing i would try is the noapic option... [23:06] bpascal123: Like the little mini windows that show up in the switcher applet? [23:06] ascheel, *hots [23:07] yes [23:07] i had it [23:07] can anyone help me? [23:07] i lost it [23:07] Kalmi_: noapic or noacpi? [23:07] ascheel, *hits [23:07] MrPiracy: I see. [23:07] ascheel, noapic [23:07] err... sorry... [23:07] how can jack_ boot vista using grub? [23:07] Kalmi_: where did you find "NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0 (r8169): transmit timed out" from? [23:07] bpascal123: It is possible that there are there but the window color is the same as the background color. Have you been messing with your theme? What did you do that changed it? [23:07] that they are there* [23:07] mobi-sheep: i just opened synaptics and completely removed, am downloading to try again [23:08] if i remount the root partition as readonly (ctrl alt sysreq r) would it be safe to shutdown? or would it still be [unclean] [23:08] ascheel... your dmesg... there is quite a nice kernel opss at the end of it...

[23:10] rwturner, link to the image you downloaded, pls [23:10] Fougner, one sec, will do [23:10] MrPiracy: You can run "locate firefox" and it'll show you paths. [23:10] nsadmin, no, try this [23:10] !grub [23:10] 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 [23:10] there u go [23:11] hoonteke, there were no graphics releated updates in the last 24 hours... [23:11] hello [23:12] mobi-sheep: i ran "locate libGL.so.1" and it found two files in /usr/lib [23:12] mobi-sheep: should i copy it somewhere else? [23:12] Anyone able to trouble shoot sound? I only get sound when using Totem.. all other apps such as VLC, moovida & Amarok are silent. I have tried three different sound boards too.. the on-board C-Media chipset, a VIA ICE 1724 w/ optical out, and currently using an SB Live! card. Same results with all. The onboard is currently disabled [23:12] mobi-sheep: why cant SL find them? [23:12] MrPiracy: Err, to where? [23:13] MrPiracy: I'm trying this on the amd64 laptop. If it worked... then I think you b0rk something with script or such. [23:13] Hey, guys. I have laptop connected with external monitor. Does anyone know how to make my laptop display the main ? === _zero is now known as zErOaCid [23:13] bluedalek, have you tried to adjust things in alsamixer and stuff? =) [23:13] Fougner, yes I have. [23:13] mitkok, dualhead is a pain in the ... when it comes to linux =/ [23:13] MrPiracy: I'm trying this on the amd64 laptop. If it worked... then I think you b0rk something with script or such. [23:13] mobi-sheep: type "locate libGL.so.1" in ur laptop. where are these files? [23:14] Fougner: why, it works perfect for me [23:14] I've been through almost all 150+ pages of the Ubuntu forums 'comprehensive sound guide' [23:14] Fougner: The problem is that the external display becomes default [23:14] ah [23:14] i.e main screen [23:14] bluedalek, have it ever worked before one that machine? [23:14] dude.. what's your setup? [23:14] MrPiracy: http://pastebin.com/f12fa9a [23:14] well post your xorg.conf =) [23:15] good evening all [23:15] Kalmi, yes it did. Until I installed the VIA ICE 1724 card.. then I only had sound through Totem. I removed.. continued w/ no sound. followed instructions on the ubuntu site.. no change.. installed Mint 7.. same thing.. re-installed Ubuntu.. same.. [23:16] MrPiracy: Mkay. It worked on my laptop upon installation. You b0rked something. [23:16] mobi-sheep: you see? urs are in lib32 too [23:16] Fougner: http://gist.github.com/149311 [23:16] well so jack_ could use easyBCD [23:16] mobi-sheep: and mine aren't [23:16] MrPiracy: That script did something. >_> [23:16] mobi-sheep: how do i copy those files? [23:17] edbian : i did : killall gnome-panel [23:17] nothing [23:17] mitkok, what about system->settings->screen or something? [23:17] I did a fresh install of ubuntu 8.04 a couple days ago. I changed a bios setting that had to do with my hard disk's and then rebooted and I got error 2: bad file or directory on boot. I then began to change the bios setting back and I still get that error after grub 1.5 loads. Here is the kicker. I get to the grub menu list and hit the kernal recovery mode then I choose (boot normal) from the recovery screen and it boots fine.. Anyone know what my [23:17] cp /lib/file1 /home/Desktop <--- example. [23:17] mithraic, there should be a good GUI for such setups [23:17] bpascal123: The panel came back but it didn't fix the problem? Or do you mean that nothing happened at all? [23:17] MrPiracy: See ^^ [23:17] Kalmi_: I see a potential solution, the one you just specified. adding noapic to my menu.lst. I guess we try it... :) No physical access to that PC yet, but we'll see here in a minute if it works on reboot [23:18] mobi-sheep: ok, now it changed the error message "wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64" [23:18] MrPiracy: sudo cp /oldPath/fileName1 /newPath/ [23:18] the panel went back but workspaces (all 4) still show blank windows [23:18] Fougner: When i plug the external display I can setup the position and the resolution for both of the monitors, but I cannot choose twhich one to be the main [23:18] i really don't know what happened [23:18] i had nice little miniatures at first 9.04 install [23:19] mitkok, you're on a ati or nvidia card? [23:19] after the third reinstall, it's still not showing [23:19] Fougner: Intel 945 [23:19] bpascal123: I think there is a software bug. Can't say for sure. BUT, is it possible.... that you have 8 workspaces and you're applet is showing the 4 on the second row? [23:19] Fougner: Works like charm [23:19] MrPiracy: Shouldn't install stuffs from websites. The ideal is to check in repos first. Nothing? Check for debs or PPA. Oooh, maybe it's in PPA. [23:19] mitkok, good for you. sadly enough I don't have any experience with them =/ [23:20] i have 1 row and 4 columns [23:20] so it should be a total of 4 [23:20] Fougner: ok, thanks anyway ) [23:20] :) [23:20] bpascal123: Then I don't know :( [23:20] bpascal123: Sorry bud! [23:20] np [23:20] brb [23:21] bluedalek... this might not not seem like a good idea... but you could try resetting the bios... your problem is quite odd... [23:21] I did a fresh install of ubuntu 8.04 a couple days ago. I changed a bios setting that had to do with my hard disk's and then rebooted and I got error 2: bad file or directory on boot. I then began to change the bios setting back and I still get that error after grub 1.5 loads. Here is the kicker. I get to the grub menu list and hit the kernal recovery mode then I choose (boot normal) from the recovery screen and it boots fine.. Anyone know what my [23:22] Fougner, never mind, case of the noobs, i downloaded karmic [23:22] Kalmi_ : tell me about it.. I've been pulling my hair out for over a week about this.. will give it a try and report back [23:22] thanks for the help though [23:22] I get the same.. [23:22] MrPiracy: I think that script did something. Because I installed both on computer and laptop. They both ran beautifully. I'm seeing a chef robot passing out foods or something like that. [23:23] mobi-sheep: hahahha [23:23] Kalmi_: change made. We'll see if it fixes it. rsync going now. [23:23] how do you set up the keyboard and mouse?. or connect all the boxes [23:23] mobi-sheep: why do u have xlibmesa and i dont? [23:23] mobi-sheep: what did u install? [23:23] rwturner, ok. just wanted to know if you were on a windows system or not =) [23:23] mobi-sheep: i also dont have that nvidia subfolder under /usr/lib [23:24] MrPiracy: I have Nvidia Graphic Card. [23:24] mobi-sheep: so do i [23:24] lol, just dumped vista!, currently installing a vmware image for the things i have to do for work [23:24] and that's easier than double clicking on install icon? [23:24] mobi-sheep: installed the official drivers from nvidia.com ... version 185.18 [23:24] mobi-sheep: and urs is version 180 [23:24] MrPiracy: Do you use ATI? I installed lot of softwares on my computer. You enabled the card? Computer -- Running fresh KDE for Test and I'm using my laptop as main system. Both ran fine. [23:25] MrPiracy: Why do you keep installing stuffs not in your repo? 180 is fine. [23:25] Can Ubuntu be installed on a Palm Treo 750?? [23:25] sure :P.. computerquip, you can do that with debian way faster.. than gentoo [23:25] yes, thank you! [23:25] mobi-sheep: it didnt work for me, if i install it, i get lots of problems [23:25] mobi-sheep: not even compiz will run [23:25] MrPiracy: That is how Windows get viruses all times. People installing stuffs they don't know in first place from untrusted websites. [23:25] once I changed the jumper from slave to master, the cdrom is recognized in ubuntu [23:25] histo: that was it :) [23:25] NO!.. [23:26] MrPiracy: What graphic card? SLI? [23:26] I've got dual monitors setup and am wondering how can I get screensaver to kick in on only one monitor as I use the larger monitor for watching movies [23:26] and urs is version 180 [23:26] mobi-sheep: hey, not untrusted ... it's nvidia.com and secondlife.com both the official websites [23:26] mobi-sheep: GeForce 8600-gt [23:26] mobi-sheep: 512 ddr2 [23:27] histo, jdu, DasEi: Thanks for keeping at it with me [23:27] MrPiracy: Trusted but source codes meant to be compiled by linux enthusiasts. [23:27] How do I really get audio to work with skype on ubuntu (gnome)? I've found lots of different solutions all over the web, but none seem to work. Preferably a solution that does not remove pulse, since the gnome version of ubuntu seems to require it. [23:27] I didn't notice vdpau on that page [23:27] !yay |zortec, 20 seconds after you left, I had the forum, lol [23:28] zortec, 20 seconds after you left, I had the forum, lol: Glad you made it! :-) [23:28] mobi-sheep: anyway, version 180 didnt work here [23:28] MrPiracy: You don't want to compile anything. Just look for compiled binaries which usually can be found in repos or getdeb. :O [23:28] DasEi: yeah, I never thought to change the jumper [23:28] zortec: Is the drive working? [23:28] DasEi: Do I still need that /etc/fstab entry. It's picking it up as /dev/cdrom [23:28] mobi-sheep: what then? should i try 180 again? see if i can get it to work? [23:29] edbian: The drive is working perfectly now [23:29] zortec: yes, need it fstab, change it accordingly to correct devicename and existing mountpoint [23:29] zortec: Was it the jumpers? [23:29] MrPiracy: I'm afraid to ask you what else you installed from external websites. >_> You could try using 180 but I doubt it'll work. Go ahead anyway. [23:29] edbian: Indeed, it was [23:29] J'ai battu jamel debouze au bas de fer !!! [23:29] edbian: It was set to slave and I changed the jumper to master [23:29] just reminds me of excalibur from Soul Eater.. [23:29] right found some triad release [23:29] edbian: Apparently windows didn't mind that it was set as a slave [23:29] Mise000005 Maybe.. [23:29] edbian: Ubuntu does... [23:29] zortec: I'd like to re-post my previous statement: "I've never seen a CD drive that didn't work with ubuntu" [23:30] zortec: Mmm. It's the little things that get you everytime! [23:30] It was set to slave and I changed the jumper to master.. Apparently windows didn't mind that it was set as a slave.. Ubuntu does... [23:30] DasEi: how do I get the info to change it to the correct devicename and existing mountpoint? [23:30] edbian: I have one....hasn't worked since I let the smoke out of it [23:30] there are some elements in the primaries for the sake of math is awesome.. and occasionally i have a link to a place under my home directory..

If they producing company doesn't make one then it's up to the community :) [23:32] DasEi: yes [23:32] DasEi: so is cdrom [23:32] i am i am.. but do i need to uninstall mplayer [23:32] zortec : so correct device is /dev/scd0 [23:32] and she walks to those gallows [23:32] DasEi: how did you figure that out? lol [23:32] zortec : cd [23:33] DasEi: I thought it was mounted to /dev/cdrom [23:33] zortec : cd /media [23:33] Any of you tried creating a basic install using the original Linux Kernel [23:33] ls [23:33] "64 bytes from 10.0.0.1: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.430 ms".. really.. its fast enough..

[23:34] DasEi: I'm in /etc/fstab now [23:34] I said that line... [23:34] zortec : /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 ... keep the rest as is [23:34] a lot of shit from archive.ubuntu.com..

[23:36] toobparts, that that to another channel [23:36] and sees him self it was really cool.. how they did it [23:36] toobparts, your a troll can you stop please [23:36] DasEi: Is the fstab entry already done? It's /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 with the rest as I did earlier [23:36] ascheel, :) cool... can you post your interrupts file now? [23:36] yeah.. unless your dealing with 0.. i can have blistering performance.. [23:36] Does anybody knows when chrome will be available for ubuntu?

[23:37] said (sudo)?. make install should detect and remove it!..

[23:38] DasEi: without too much info, what is the diff in pata and sata? I have to leave quickly [23:38] Is the fstab entry already done? It's /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 with the rest as I did earlier [23:38] Isn't chrome just for windows so far? When I enter google.com/c [23:38] Why does toobparts repeat what everyone said in the chan?

[23:40] Kalmi_: looks the same, but it's not locking up. [23:40] zortec: sata is the up to date standard, much bigger bandwith [23:40] StrangeCharm_: You could use a cron job [23:40] DasEi: so I should get a sata cdrom instead of a pata? [23:41] zortec- i think that's overkill, also, i want it to give its output to the terminal [23:41] StrangeCharm - Hmm. write a bash script? [23:41] zortec: depends on your habits, for hd's it's important, also depends on connectors on your board [23:42] DasEi: yeah my 320GB drive is sata, my cdrom is pata... didn't know it matters too much [23:42] hi. i want my notebook to load my usual network configuration _before_ logging into my user account, so i entered the data into /etc/network/interfaces; yet, the static ipv4 configuration i entered is not shown with ifconfig after running '/etc/init.d/networking restart'. did i overlook something? [23:42] zortec: easier to work with sata than pata. For a CDROM it doesn't matter except for how 'clean' it keeps the case. [23:42] mobi-sheep: ok, i remember now .... when i install nvidia, it prompts if i want to install 32bits compatibiliy packs [23:42] mobi-sheep: but if i do, i lose my X screen [23:43] ascheel: but my cdrom is connected by an ide cable, so does pata use IDE? I guess I'm a bit confused on the technology [23:43] Oh noes. [23:43] zortec: sataII handles up to 300gb/s while fastest ata is 133MB/s [23:43] pata = ide [23:43] pata is the interface, ide is the cable [23:43] or vice versa, but you get the idea. [23:43] zortec: pata uses ide port, right [23:43] ah that is clear now [23:44] DasEi: yeah [23:44] hello people [23:44] i could use some help [23:44] !ask | Rob235 [23:44] Rob235: 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. :-) [23:44] I will say that my cdrom sounds like a 747 taking off when it's performing read operations [23:44] is that normal... lol [23:44] 52x read speed [23:44] !details | Rob235 [23:44] zortec: yes [23:44] Rob235: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [23:44] zortec, not too uncommon. [23:45] hello, I cant get my webcam to work on ubuntu. I read that you need to install the UVC drivers, but aren't they already there? [23:45] it zips right along, but damn it's loud... you could hear it outside I bet [23:45] zortec:if you want luxury, gotto pay for it (silent), also could reduce speed [23:45] im trying to install grub2 but first when i do and restart i get error 11 because i have to change root in the modified menu.lst to uuid, then when i do that I get error 15 which im pretty sure isnt grub itself [23:45] the problem is the location of the boot sector right? [23:46] so the next cdrom I buy will be sata and with noise reduction [23:46] Rob235: why are you doing Grub2? [23:46] why not [23:46] what's error 15? [23:46] i dont know [23:46] doesnt say [23:46] i dont think at least, let me google again [23:46] I have to get off to band practice. I play keys, appreciate all the help very much [23:46] Rob235: you have to tell it to install Grub2 [23:46] zortec: ide rom is k, if only few sata are there, so keep them for hd [23:46] Rob235: and there isn't a need in 9.04 [23:46] Rob235: and I think this is even correct really with the optional Ext4 file systems [23:47] zortec: good takeoff ! [23:47] Rob235: Grub legacy the one it comes with should be fine for now [23:47] i know theres not a need, i just liked it better (i tried karmic but video drivers didnt install) [23:47] ehh alright [23:47] Rob235: ok well Ext4 default file system and Grub2 by default, when Karmic is released [23:48] i know [23:48] Rob235: need to clean install for the full Ext4 support though [23:48] yea, i only do clean installs [23:48] Rob235: also since Karmic is in development, yep bugs [23:48] when upgrades like that come out [23:48] 041e:4057 Creative Live! Cam Optia Creative Labs < how do I find out if UVC is installed? [23:49] ok well i guess i'll just reinstall jaunty to fix the grub problem, im sure i can do it manually but id rather keep it fresh [23:49] are there any known bugs in vim's support for tag files in Jaunty? when i execute :tag someCertainFunction it just eats one of my CPU cores indefinitely! [23:50] actually.. it seems to be any tag, suddenly [23:50] oh, but sometimes it does return [23:50] sekyourbox:watch the output of apt when trying to install [23:50] maybe it's just LUDICROUSLY SLOW for some reason?
