[00:00] can some help me im trying to install a theme [00:00] How do i close my topic on the forums ? :S [00:00] MrPiracy: Icic. So you're trying to be on latest version of everything even although they may be not stable? Firefox 3.5 came out. Look at it. There are a security vulnerabilities so it was forced to 3.5.1 when Firefox 3.0 would be sufficient.

Search for factoids with "/msg ubottu !search factoid". === t3Nk4 is now known as t3Nk4_ [00:01] MrPiracy: A better mindset would be waiting out a bit... Let the suckers experience all the problems. Xbox360 have 7 versions or something like that (internally design and such). :) === t3Nk4_ is now known as t3Nk4 [00:02] 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? [00:02] jvm: you need to disable network-manager [00:02] how do i open up a device manager in linux [00:03] ascheel, will i still be able to change my network configuration easily after user login, then? [00:03] jvm, no [00:03] ascheel, is there no other solution to apply a 'default profile', that's in effect even before login? [00:03] jvm, as far as I know, you either handle them manually through the OS or you wait for gnome to boot and manage it with the network-manager. I COULD be wrong, though. [00:04] okay. [00:04] jvm, if there is I don't know it, but there very well could be. [00:04] how would i disable the network-manager? [00:05] jvm, System => Preferences => Startup Programs [00:05] what's a good Winamp clone for Gnome? [00:05] tonii: VLC, hands down [00:06] thank you ascheel. [00:06] tonii: audacious [00:06] mOrO^: VLC is only good for video, in my opnion. [00:06] th0r: I'll try that one [00:07] VLC plays everything.. including audio. But it's feature lacking. [00:07] !player | tonii [00:07] tonii: Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS2 (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based). Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine - See also !codecs [00:07] tonii: mOrO^: and mplayer's even better than VLC at video.. so i don't know where vlc stands anymore [00:07] Where do I go to read about running processes in the background in the terminal by appending '&' to the command? [00:07] moymoy: it just plays everything I throw at it. Just my opinion. [00:07] ethereality: At end of the command, eg firefox & [00:08] thanks mobi-sheep [00:08] mobi-sheep: after that the terminal spits out a number; what does that mean, etc? Is there a manual I can read? [00:08] hm, for XMMS2 do I need the old xmms binaries? [00:08] ethereality: What number? [00:08] etherreality : man bash-builtins has some stuff about job control [00:09] tonii: I like Banshee. FYI. [00:09] mOrO^: have you tried segment linked videos with ordered chapters? *shakes head* i've been waiting for them to meet the matroska standard.. but noooooo.. and it gets with distorted images and pixels when seeking [00:09] tonii: xmms2 is a completely different animal from xmms, the old xmms became audacious [00:09] th0r: ahh [00:09] mobi-sheep: it says "[1] 4444" and this time "[1] 4537" [00:09] mobi-sheep: ok :) [00:10] tonii: take a look at gmusicbrowser...when xmms transformed I moved to gmusicbrowser [00:10] thanks for the notice mb_again_ [00:10] !ati [00:10] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [00:10] ethereality: I think that's just process job numbers. No need to read manual for that. Install htop and run htop in the terminal. You'll see a list of processing tasks. It come with colors too. :) [00:10] th0r: I'll try audacious first. :) [00:11] is a newer kernel available through proprosed updates? [00:11] mobi-sheep: Why htop? Is it wrong to use "top"? [00:11] 2.6.29 perhaps? [00:11] ethereality: There are no right or wrong. Mostly people's preferences. [00:11] Hello!, I am having sound problems on ubuntu 9.04, can you please help me. http://pastebin.com/m5acf924f [00:12] Matrox is still around? I have a few Matrox cards with 4MB RAM on them [00:12] ethereality, yeah, the main issue is that you cant scroll to see all the processes. of course you can sort, but others have a nicer ui. [00:13] with graphs to show usage [00:13] ethereality: just try 'htop'. You'll never touch 'top' again. [00:13] hey all, anyone using a TV (full hd) dvi->hdmi on linux and getting dodgey looking fonts: [00:14] ascheel, system->preferences affects my own user, but only starting from the time ive logged in, or not? [00:14] japanfred: you can adjust how the fonts are rendered [00:14] it's a gnome thing. [00:14] I am having sound problems on ubuntu 9.04, can you please help me.Here are my list of processes http://pastebin.com/m5acf924f [00:14] jvm, that's correct. Only after you've logged in [00:14] moymoy, where abouts? sorry if im being really noobish, but on windows XP, it all renders fine at 1080p [00:14] Yesterday I came in here with a sound problem. After the initial login screen, there was no sound whatsoever. I've recently discovered that reloading the alsa drivers with sudo alsa force-reload restores sound until I reboot. My question is, aside from reloading every time I boot, is there a way to fix this? [00:15] danny7210: the list is pretty useless [00:15] has anyone installed firefox 3.5.1 using ubuntuzilla? [00:15] can someone help me with installing new desktop theme [00:15] mobi-sheep: u still there? [00:15] i have no idea where it is looking for plugins [00:15] anyone know how i can find out? [00:15] MrPiracy: Ya. You left before I could tell you something. :o [00:15] MrPiracy: Anyway, what's up? [00:15] danny7210: more info would help though. Did the sound ever work? [00:15] happy: Well ..... some people might think I have two soundcards ..... [00:15] ascheel, then how does deactivating network-manager there change anything about my "/etc/init.d/networking restart does not apply /etc/network/interfaces settings" problem? [00:16] damien: in opt/firefox/plugins ? (guess) [00:16] happy: Sound works just goes on and off. And it only works for 1 process [00:16] hello all [00:16] i tried it before logging in. [00:16] japanfred: right click the desktop -> click `change background` -> when the window pops up, click `fonts` and there, you can choose how they're rendered.. you can even click details for more options [00:16] 'k, so I just append & and don't worry about the number? [00:16] jvm: when you log in, it overwrites the changes you've made to /etc/network/interfaces [00:16] mobi-sheep: what was that u were going to say? [00:16] ethereality: That's the idea. You can kill the processes by its name or its job numbers. That's all it is useful for. :) [00:16] danny7210: hm.. maybe pulse audio is having problems [00:16] hello [00:17] MrPiracy: Oh, to install irssi and learn about TTYs that way you can connect back to here if you lost your X screen. [00:17] ascheel, i set up my static network config in a console terminal before logging into my user account. [00:17] happy: Sorry I am quite new at linux, I am a windows guru. Also after this Ill ask for help, my laptop wont install it says an error [00:17] ascheel, yet ifconfig didnt show the changes i expected. [00:17] jvm, but when you logged into your account, the network-manager handles things its own way [00:18] moymoy, thanks! having a play with all the settings now :) [00:18] can someone help [00:18] is there a way of resetting the sound drivers, my sound stops working whenever I leave my computer for a while and come back. I always have to reboot... [00:18] with installing new theme [00:18] jvm, and if you haven't, try doing this: /etc/init.d/networking restart [00:18] erikk71: what error do you get on installing what kind of theme? [00:18] ascheel, i didnt login yet at the time i came here and started complaining ;) === sarah is now known as Guest45211 [00:18] im on xfce [00:18] VCoolio: it's not in /opt/firefox/plugins [00:18] and i ran the init script. [00:19] after changing the interfaces file [00:19] i've tried ~/.mozilla/plugins too [00:19] jvm, so you made changes to the interfaces file and the changes didn't take immediately? Is that what you're saying? [00:19] happy: have any idea? [00:19] i just cant figure out how to add the theme [00:19] mobi-sheep: wasnt necessary, it works fine now .... even SL [00:19] mobi-sheep: now i can just jump to the next problem in the queue hehehe [00:19] erikk71: sorry, know nothing about xfce [00:19] danny7210: sorry I left [00:19] MrPiracy: :( [00:19] an xubuntu room is dead [00:19] happy: its ok [00:20] danny7210: have you tried the sound troubleshooting guide? [00:20] mobi-sheep: oh and btw, SL runs a lot faster in jaunty than on Win7 [00:20] !sound | danny7210 [00:20] danny7210: 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 [00:20] ill repeat in xubuntu till someone answers [00:20] ascheel, i started up the computer, changed to a console, did _not_ log into gnome, modified the interfaces file with vim, ran '/etc/init.d/networking restart; ifconfig eth0' and the configuration i entered in the interfaces file was not applied yet. [00:20] mobi-sheep: do u know anything about sound? [00:20] mobi-sheep: Cool! So do I type "kill 4444"? [00:20] MrPiracy: I never tried Win7. Did you know that Microsoft opened a retail store next to Apple store? Fail. :) [00:21] MrPiracy: Err, just ask the real question. [00:21] jvm, not sure. Sorry man [00:21] i guess everyone here uses gnome [00:21] ascheel, thanks anyway. [00:21] happy: My sound works it goes on and off and I have to turn my logitech z500 almost full volume to hear it [00:21] mrpiracy: hahahahahahha lovely [00:21] mobi-sheep: Win7 is neat ... i got the final version leaked last week [00:21] good night everyone. [00:21] ethereality: I don't know. I use htop to kill process number. I'll look it up. [00:21] pluxii: ???? [00:22] Hi all, I have a machine that I would like to run ubuntu on but without a monitor, keyboard, and mouse. I would just like to connect to it using ssh -X or no-machine. But how can I configure it so that it can reboot without these peripherals (e.g., monitor)? [00:22] ethereality: Also, "man kill" to get manual and read. [00:22] MrPiracy: about the windows store vs the apple store [00:22] danny7210: I unforunatally do not know much about sound [00:22] happy: Its ok, I will ask the forum [00:22] forester: 2 ways. Log in via ssh and issue a 'reboot' command, or you can handle it in the cron [00:22] happy: I have another issue bigger than this one though, let me start up my laptop [00:22] ethereality: kill or kill -9 to force quit; pkill or killall to kill all instances of an app [00:23] ascheel, I've tried this but it hangs when it can't find a monitor. [00:23] ethereality: Looks like it. kill 4444 [00:23] mobi-sheep: ok, i got two sound cards here, one USB and the other one built in. I like my speakers connected to the USB one and the onboard front side plugs for communication software. Both of the cards were detected in ubuntu and i can even hear sound from the earphones, but the front jack mic isnt working. [00:23] hellooooooooo [00:23] ethereality: Or use htop. :) [00:24] forester: the only way I was able to handle that was to disable gdm (the GUI) and splash screens, etc. Do you NEED to use the GUI (X-Windows, etc)? [00:24] hey guys, i am having trouble with wine, in ubuntu 9.04, installed through wget sudo, installation was complete without error. When starting the wine config from menu, nothing happends and when starting winecfg in console it says /home/user/.wine is not a directory [00:24] Cool, thanks! :) [00:24] mobi-sheep: i installed skype and it is working fine, but when i try to set ALC mic, it freezes [00:24] audacious was horrible :| [00:24] MrPiracy: Don't USB speakers use it for power and there are separate audio cord for that? [00:24] tonii: hehehe [00:25] ascheel, yes I'd like to see gnome when I use ssh -X or nomachine. Is that what you're asking? [00:25] hawkie - Can I recommend adding wine from synaptic package manager [00:25] tonii: Now, Banshee? :) [00:25] I'll certainly try it :P [00:25] !sound | MrPiracy [00:25] MrPiracy: 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 [00:25] mobi-sheep: they're all listed in the drop down menu. audio out is working fine [00:25] danny7219 [00:25] tonii: ever tried Amarok? [00:25] forester: sorry, then for that i can't help you. It might be able to be done, but I don't know how. I use mine as a purely headless and CLI machine only [00:25] i tried that, same result. [00:25] tonii: now you know why I switched to gmusicbrowser [00:25] i just installed crunchbang on a HDD via my new ESATA HDD dock and on the install it let me choose the ESATA to install to and it all went fine, then i rebooted and my main HDD had the error 21 grub error, why would it do that if i didnt install to my main HDD? [00:25] hello ppl [00:25] hey i'm a nea user of ubuntu and i don't know how to install tk-dev packages [00:25] MrPiracy: Also, you can run the command --> alsamixer --> if that help. Set all bars to high and if you see any gray/blue 'm' on it. Press 'm' to unmute. [00:25] forester: you won't be able to see gnome by using ssh -X .. but what that does is launch applications with the GUI displayed on your local X display [00:25] hawkie - What version of wine did you install [00:26] ascheel, thanks for your help. [00:26] could you help me please [00:26] mobi-sheep: audio out is fine ... out of the box ;) [00:26] th0r :D [00:26] i need a super key sticker [00:26] danny7210 1.1.25 [00:26] where can i get one [00:26] i've compiled and installed a driver for my wifi, and now i wanna go back to the one that came with ubuntu [00:26] moymoy, yes I see you're right. But with nomachine I would. [00:26] how can i do that? [00:26] Hawkie - Try this, I guarantee it will work [00:26] pepee buenas [00:26] MrPiracy: You even could toggle something for mic to be speaker or something. I can't work with sounds. Next. :3 [00:26] hola ubuntuovato [00:27] mOrO^: yes, and I don't like it as it cannot use my usb-drive as "library" [00:27] hawkie - go to System>Administrator>Software Sources [00:27] mobi-sheep: there's a trick in windows to get it working, after installing the proper drivers i have to go to settings and disable front jack detecion. i dont see this option in linux [00:27] the driver i compiled is rt73usb [00:27] hawkie- tell me when your there [00:27] tonii: did you say you did try VLC? [00:27] dmitri: type "sudo apt-get install tk-dev" in terminal or open system > administration > synaptic and find tk-dev [00:27] MrPiracy: Use alsamixer. You can mute / toggle on certain things. [00:27] danny7210 i am there [00:27] pepee como puedo configurar amule para que vaya más rápdidop? [00:27] hawkie - ok [00:27] mobi-sheep: ok, lemme try [00:27] MrPiracy: See if that helps. [00:27] thanks [00:27] ubuntuovato, preguntale a ellos xD [00:28] mOrO^: I don't like VLC for Audio. the UI is not to my liking :) [00:28] tonii: gmb can use the usb drive, and will rescan and update every time it is plugged in [00:28] ubuntuovato, sos duro vos, eh?

[00:31] ok, thank you very much [00:31] but which driver is it? [00:31] hi guys [00:31] rt73usb [00:31] hawkie - if so go to Third Party>Add : deb http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt jaunty main #WineHQ - Ubuntu 9.04 "Jaunty Jackalope" [00:31] Anyone know what I can to make SATA performance stop sucking?

[00:32] imperfect-: get her a real job? [00:32] does anyone know "Satux"? [00:32] to uninstall the current driver and reinstall the kernel [00:32] danny7210 its done [00:32] pepee: ok so you have to find out where rt73usb came from [00:32] th0r: I'd get her a job if the sata performance didn't suck so horrible. [00:32] mobi-sheep, really, wasn't me ho did that what i'm telling [00:32] dmitri: do you have synaptic also open? [00:32] It's really riduculous [00:32] i'm trying to help some other [00:32] hawkie - ok [00:33] more often than not, it will probably be in the kernel... but it makes sense to find out for sure before taking action [00:33] hawkie - right click this link : http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/Scott%20Ritchie.gpg [SAVE/AS] [00:33] well, bye, and, again, thanks guys [00:33] hawkie - right click save doesnt work in irc [00:33] !ati [00:33] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [00:33] hawkie - go to this site : http://www.winehq.org/download/deb [00:33] !aticonfig [00:33] Sorry, I don't know anything about aticonfig [00:34] hawkie - then go down to the section Trusting the WineHQ APT Repository [00:34] danny7210 done. ive got the gpg file [00:34] imperfect-: found several ubuntu forum threads about improving sata performance [00:34] Vcoolio: i've tried to install from synaptic but after that i don't know what is the emplacement of the application [00:34] where can it be located [00:34] mobi-sheep: Banshee seems to be nice [00:34] did you add it Authentication in Software Sources? [00:35] hawkie - did you add it Authentication in Software Sources? [00:35] danny7210 ok ive added authentication [00:35] tonii: Oooo Did I win something? :) [00:35] mobi-sheep: ehm, no. not really no. [00:35] tonii: You can toggle on/off the notifications in the settings too. [00:35] ^_^ [00:35] hawkie- ok, now go to System>Administration> Synaptic Package Manager [00:35] dmitri: what is it exactly? I don't know; the starter should be in /usr/bin or in the menus, but since it is a -dev package I'm not sure. You asked how to install; I don't know what to do with it :) [00:35] Does anyone here know much about ddrescue? [00:35] hawkie - Once there click reload [00:36] how would i go about installing a .bin file? [00:36] hawkie - then just search wine and install it [00:36] UnderSampled: Ask the real question. [00:36] pluxii: wht is it called? [00:36] I just want to know if I am doing it right [00:36] pluxii: chmod +x SillyEgg.bin && sudo ./SillyEgg.bin [00:37] danny7210 ok its installing [00:37] happy it is PlaneShift-v0.4.03-x86.bin [00:37] hawkie - good. [00:38] pluxii: do what mobi-sheep said [00:38] pluxii: Hold. [00:38] danny7210 got error: E: ttf-mscorefonts-installer: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 [00:38] mobi-sheep: held [00:38] vcoolio : you know firsltly i've tried to install amsn and i have a file that is amsn.tar.bz2 and i don't know how to install it [00:38] hawkie - I never heard that before. Hang on [00:39] pluxii: You want to look for deb or PPA first. Installing from script generally leads to problems. [00:39] I need some help, I'm running kde and when I try to connect to a samba share via dolphin it doesn't ever prompt me for the username and password. does dolphin save its own passwords? Of course this has been working perfectly fine up until this morning [00:39] mobi-sheep: ok thanks [00:39] vcoolio : and in the install file it is saying that i need to have packages installed like tk-dev [00:39] pluxii: Go ahead and install it. You should be *OKAY* [00:39] hawkie - Go to Applications>Accessories> Terminal [00:39] I used ddrescue -b 2048 /media/cdrom cdimage ~/ddrescueLog [00:40] dmitri: that's an archiving format; extract and probably compile; but check for a repository first [00:40] hawkie - and type sudo defoma-reconfigure -f [00:40] schirpich: it saves it ntil you logout as far as I can tell [00:40] i know the source is good, the file is fine, it's the planeshift mmo [00:40] dmitri: you have tk-dev now, so that's ok [00:40] schirpich: It would never save it on the hdd without kwallet [00:40] i don't find it :D [00:40] vcoolio : i don't find it :D [00:40] pluxii: I know. It's not that. It's all about compiling and the flags in them. [00:40] dmitri: so point is you want amsn? and a specific version or just amsn? [00:41] danny7210 i know what the problem is, just checked the installer box, its says "no space left on device" [00:41] mobi-sheep: ah [00:41] mobi-sheep: this was the suggested method for rescuing data off a scratched cd [00:41] hawkie - did you try that code though [00:41] vcoolio: it is just a version of amsn [00:41] danny7210 nope doing it now [00:41] yea, I did the reboot thing, no help there. There are no entries in kwallet for anything but kopete. The weird thing is, if I just use smbclient from cmd line I can connect. For some reason its just dolphin that fails to ask for a login/pass [00:41] hawkie: a full hdd explains your error [00:42] dmitri: I have 0.97.2 in default repositories, isn't that good enough? [00:42] vcoolio: i want to preserve all the contacts in msn of windows [00:42] UnderSampled: You see this yet? [00:42] hawkie: most programs are not descriptive enogh when they fail due to lack of space [00:42] !undelete | UnderSampled [00:42] UnderSampled: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel [00:43] dmitri: well that's not a problem, you have an account in which contacts are stored; the client doesn't matter; you can use pidgin or whatever [00:43] happy: is there reason dolphin would think that it did not have to ask for authentication? [00:43] schirpich: yes, if there is anything on the system that it is allowed to axx without a pass, it will not ask for one [00:44] danny7210 ok. done. [00:44] mobi-sheep: yes. But the only information on recovering cds on that page is the same as the example in ddrescue's info file [00:44] happy thx. will remove something and try again [00:44] hawkie: try reinstalling [00:44] pluxii: Things okay? ;o [00:44] should i be able to install firefox 3.5 on hardy with apt-get? [00:45] !ff35 | pagoda [00:45] hola [00:45] pagoda: 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 [00:45] vcoolio: :DDDDDDD i found ; i didn't see that i had this version in the default repertories [00:45] UnderSampled: I'll look into it. [00:45] vcoolio: thank you very much [00:45] mobi-sheep: which is what I had just writen above. Then it says to burn it to a disk without explaining how. [00:45] vcoolio: ;) [00:45] dmitri: no problem, good luck with it [00:45] mobi-sheep: If I could, I would like to mount the file directly, because I don't really feel like burning a cd [00:45] mobi-sheep, thanks [00:46] i have port 29858 open in UFW but sudo nmap -f -p 0-65535 127.0.0.1 doesnt pick it up. Am i doing any thing wrong? [00:46] UnderSampled: Under which contents in the link? [00:46] nerdy_kid: are you running a service on that port? [00:47] happy no [00:47] where is a good guide for upgrading to karmic? [00:47] hawkie - is it working? [00:47] Pagoda, that is a question for #ubuntu+1 [00:47] hi everyone [00:47] nerdy_kid: try nc -l 29858 on the target computer [00:47] happy: however my the samba shares do require auth. only dolphin can see the server and the shared folders, and when i click on the shared folder for the server it tries and tries for about 30 seconds give or take and then just says Access Denied. Without prompting me for authentication. Which leads me to believe just by its behavior that its got a bad login/pass stored somewhere. I just dont know where [00:47] !upgrade | pagoda [00:47] pagoda: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [00:48] mobi-sheep: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery#line-155 [00:48] thanks [00:48] nerdy_kid: nc will setup a dummy service which will allow you to test [00:48] danny7210 trying to remove wine first, add/remove stopped responding [00:48] UnderSampled: So you have an copied iso laying around, right? [00:48] hawkie - ohh ok [00:48] schirpich: try to connect to "smb:/user@host" [00:49] mobi-sheep: of what? [00:49] happy, done, nmap still doesnt pick it up [00:49] you kept nc running? [00:49] UnderSampled: ddrescue. You rescued it and now you have a file, right? [00:50] happy, yes still running, but not as root [00:50] nerdy_kid: root is not needed [00:50] Hello, I'm trying to set up opendns. I changed the nameserver lines in /etc/resolv.conf and that didn't work. Then I tried /etc/ppp/resolv.conf. I rebooted and the lines changed back to what they were before I inserted the opendns lines. Any idea how to keep it from switching back like that? [00:50] nerdy_kid: try to telnet to the port while nc is running [00:50] mobi-sheep: its still going, but it sounds like it has a lot more errors than I thought it would [00:50] UnderSampled: What command do you use to ddrescue? [00:51] mac9416: resolv.conf s overridden by dhcp [00:51] mobi-sheep: as I said above [00:51] mobi-sheep: ddrescue -b 2048 /media/cdrom cdimage ~/ddrescueLog [00:51] happy, nice nick ;-) Could you explain a little further? [00:51] happy: did that, shares show up, click on share to open, sits for 30 seconds, and "Access denied to smb://user@servername/sharefoldernamehere" below the split window. No prompt for password [00:52] schirpich: I am not sure what the problem is then... try to ask on #kubuntu [00:52] UnderSampled: Well, I think you're okay. If you include -v (verbose) in that, you'd see activities on that. As long as the command is still running and nothing is showing, it's a good thing. [00:53] happy: yea, its a weird one for sure. I'll try that. thanks for trying [00:53] happy i tryed with nc on then off, connection refused both times [00:53] hawkie : working now ? [00:53] UnderSampled: Also, you may be able to mount iso when it's done. [00:53] !mountiso | UnderSampled [00:53] UnderSampled: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [00:53] UnderSampled: I think you can right-click on the file and mount it when it's done. [00:53] happy, btw, I'm getting the net on mobile broadand, if that helps. [00:53] mac9416: did you follow these instructions?: https://www.opendns.com/start/device/ubuntu [00:53] happy, yes. [00:54] danny7210 how do I kill a process from terminal, add/remove wont quit itself [00:54] mobi-sheep: Is it actually an ISO, or just raw data that I will have to convert? [00:54] nerdy_kid: in that case there is something wrong with the firewall rules [00:54] happy, I assumed the problem was that they were using dhcp on an ethernet connection, and I'm using ppp on broadbnd. [00:54] UnderSampled: Seems like an iso if they instruct you "to burn it" [00:54] hawkie - http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/kill-process-in-linux-or-terminate-a-process-in-unix-or-linux-systems/ [00:54] happy i tryed disabling ufw, still didnt help, does Jaunty come with two firewalls? [00:54] can someone help me figure out this problem? http://tinyurl.com/lqe7bq [00:55] happy, not that I'm sure what all that means :-P [00:55] happy would my router firewall interfere? [00:55] How can I organize my passwords? [00:55] UnderSampled: Linux necessarily don't need file extensions and they automatically knew what filetypes you use by reading inside firsthand. Anyway, we like to use extensions for our benefits. :) [00:55] nerdy_kid: depends, are you connecting from outside the local network?

[01:13] hey linuxcrypt [01:13] hello my friend [01:13] oh wrong window [01:13] :P [01:13] yes, but it does not work well, with Pulseaudio unless you install the svn [01:14] mOrO^, but can u atleast transfer images? [01:14] I have an installation of ubuntu and I removed the dual nic network card that was in there and replaced with an identical model number. However, now I cannot get my NIC up and said device not found. I assume because of the MAC address change. Can someone point me in the right direction of what file(s) to edit to put in new MAC address (I am running Ubuntu server mode) [01:14] hello [01:14] fjordside: Im sure you can, I havent done that with it. [01:14] i need some help [01:14] i had latest nvidia drivers installed [01:15] and after kernel update they where messed up [01:15] is there any way that i can autodetect hardware in order to set up x-wiundows on ubuntu server? [01:15] so i used the hardware drivers applet to use nvidia drivers [01:15] now i cannot use 3d effects [01:15] so what i need to do [01:15] renmove custom installation? [01:15] w0tan_1: From my understanding, X probes the hardware when the system is started automatically. [01:15] re install latest drivers again? [01:16] or.... [01:16] linuxviewer: Try #ubuntu-server [01:16] ntemis, uninstall everything nvidia then reinstall [01:16] ntemis: isn't that known for manually installing drivers that they break on kernel update? stick with drivers in repos or reinstall latest [01:16] Is there an app I can use to stream movies to my Xbox 360? [01:16] edbian: oh, i thought i was required to change the config manually. and i dont know what kind of hardware i've got in there [01:16] mOrO^, what is svn? [01:16] hello [01:16] i had freeze ups with nvidia drivers on ubuntu repos [01:17] w0tan_1: You don't need to. Try installing the packages you need and starting X. [01:17] mobi-sheep: would you please send me a picture of ur xChat's config/color screen? thx [01:17] happy, the instructions did not work, my nameserver lines continue to be reset. [01:17] :-( [01:17] so i had to install the latest from ndiai [01:17] is there a way to use my built in fingerprint reader in ubuntu? [01:17] Ok so i have been using Sound Juicer for CD ripping to FLAC and then Sound Converter to convert the lossless FLAC to lossy formats like MP3 and AAC, cause I have no clue as to where users are supposed to find the documentation on how to create a gstreamer pipeline for it to use custom bitrates. Does anyone know if there is a documenation package I can install from the repos or some kind of documentaion to decipher pipelines and how to m [01:17] nvidia [01:17] aijse - by live cd [01:17] w0tan_1: Then config file is /etc/X11/xorg.conf In fact with the newest X servers you don't need that config file to be there at all. That's how good X has gotten at probing hardware. [01:17] Aijes - Actually a live usb [01:17] fjordlord: It is the "bleeding edge" program... but mediabuntu must be added to your repository,,,, let me get you an url that explains how to do it. [01:18] how i remove the custom installation? [01:18] Aijse - Actually I am install via a usb [01:18] MrPiracy: http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/5513/200907171601141680x1050.png ? [01:18] mac9416: that has always worked for me :-\ I am not sure why it is not working [01:18] mOrO^, respect for your assistance, bless [01:18] My built in fingerprint reader works with my system's bios to require a fingerprint scan on startup, fprint doesn't support access to the fingerprint data stored inside the scanner chip [01:18] danny7210 i accidently removed the add/remove and synaptics software bla bla soo.. i am gonna go for the sudo wget option from winehw [01:18] winehq even [01:18] linuxguy2009: Why are you converting from flac to mp3 anyway? Why not just use ogg/vorbis? Can you give me a bigger picture of what you're doing? [01:19] edbian: Using MP3 and AAC for iPod use mainly. [01:19] leaf-sheep: no, i mean a new one with ur config/colors open [01:19] edbian: GtkPod to do the actual music to ipod transfers. [01:19] danny7210 if wine works now I say thx, and i am gonna reinstall ubuntu on a bigger partition [01:19] hawkie - ok [01:19] linuxcrypt: vlc has an ok interface fr conversion [01:20] linuxguy2009: : vlc has an ok interface for conversion [01:20] is there a program that can transfer music to my ipod touch and also restore it if it gets messed up? [01:20] masterchild: no, complain to apple [01:20] how can I get a toolbar type thing for the taskbar at the top of my screen for rhythmbox media player controls? [01:20] linuxguy2009: Oh, ok. Understandable then. I think that you can set Sound Juicer to rip right to mp3 or AAC [01:20] masterchild: I use gtkpod for my nano, don't know if it supports the touch or not [01:20] like the itunes toolbar for windows when you minimize it [01:21] fjordlord: I assume you understand english, this explains it all............. http://sourceforge.net/scm/?type=svn&group_id=159144 [01:21] MrPiracy: XChat Themes @ http://t0x.in/xchatthemes.html [01:21] danny7210, does the occur during installation or when you boot after installation? And have you tried burning another cd? [01:22] edbian: Yeah i know I can rip right to MP3 but I have no control over bitrate with Sound Juicer. Hence the reason i ask for gstreamer pipeline documentation. Without the documentation i have to do the extra flac->mp3 conversion with Sound Converter. [01:22] aijse: when I try to install [01:22] edbian: wow. the autodection is impressive, it just worked after i installed it. a lot has changed in the last 10 years. :) [01:22] aijse: I burned a cd same problem [01:22] i installed jaunty and can't set the right screen resolution with my nvidia 5200 graphic card [01:22] w0tan_1: lol. Yeah 10 years was 1999! We didn't even have windows XP yet! [01:23] Legendario: are you using the proprietary nvidia drives?

I noticed in the default Sound Juicer pipelines there is a "!" character between a few of the settings and Im wondering is that character common in other linux command line uses? Ive never used it before in the terminal but I wasnt sure. [01:58] I've looked around and I've seen a lot of reports of this but no solutions. Any suggestions?

[01:59] erikk71: Mac4Linux [01:59] vprm: I think you should start off with Ubuntu. It's popular and people seems to love it. KDE is a different flavors and would be great for mommies. However, KDE is going through a phrase of rewriting applications to KDE4. I'm using KDE4 at the moment. XFCE is really lightweight and it's really great for old machines and lacks in visual effects. I think you want Gnome first. KDE second. [01:59] radeon 9200 [01:59] its kinda old [01:59] erikk71: i'll tell you where to find it if you promise not to come back here and ask how to install it [01:59] FYI I have an nvidia card [01:59] vprm: Yup.

[02:05] vprm: 9.04 is a bit pointless really unless people are doing the optional Ext4 file system, and that's not really the best thing to recommend to new users in 9.04 for various reasons. And without 8.10 is really the better release, just most users don't know that.

[02:38] RobotCow, I have never seen anyone actually using pulseaudio's capabilites... : [02:38] hello.. i have a question.. [02:38] could i use the debian lenny dvd as source for apt? [02:38] Horacio, no [02:38] I am trying to set up a postfix mail server. Somewhere I mistyped something and now when i send an email it has the misspelled domain name? Anyone know where this info comes from initially? Kind of a noob [02:38] ok, why/ [02:39] Horacio, yes... but not for ubuntu :) [02:39] lol, not even for vim? g++? [02:39] !debian | Horacio [02:39] Horacio: Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu! [02:39] Kalmi_, the ubuntu community is mostly made up of users who have switched from windows, not linux from scratch users or slackware users who are tech savy. [02:40] when play video when scenes change the video has a choppy horizontal line. dosn't do every sceen but enough to annoy [02:40] Kalmi_: I went from windows xp to ubuntu to debian [02:40] mediatech, compiz is enabled or not [02:40] ok.. got it, so relating to that, is there a python/ruby/bash script to get a couple hundred packages with apt in order to compile them in a dvd or do i have to make own? [02:41] not sure [02:41] Interphase: Err, maybe lirc. [02:41] Horacio, what about aptoncd [02:41] i am a regular debian user, the thing is, it doesn't work on my notebook! plus, i hate fedora [02:41] mobi-sheep, yeah, I found that just now [02:41] !aptoncd > Horacio [02:41] Horacio, please see my private message [02:42] i have been an rpm distro person, never debian, thought id try it out, kinda like it, but pulse is killing me [02:42] mediatech, try with compiz off [02:42] Roboto_Ubuntu, what about installing pavucontrol [02:42] ok tanks > ubottu [02:42] Roboto_Ubuntu, why not switch to alsa? [02:42] tell me how to switch to alsa and i will [02:43] bazhang, ok. what command will do that? [02:43] just apt-get alsa ?? [02:43] edbian, then you ought to make a virtual sound device and have your sound play on another machine through the network just for fun, like a movie throughout the an entire mansion and you can also control the sound of individual apps which i do often using pulseaudio. pulseaudio was really useful when my usb headset was working because i could easily switch the sound stream between my sound card and the usb headset without unplugging it and reboot [02:43] ing and all that mess. [02:43] mediatech, try alt f2 metacity --replace [02:44] i had vlc setup for that so we could watch anything from the tvcard in parts of the house [02:44] Roboto_Ubuntu, no, you have to also blacklist oss modules [02:44] RobotCow: Do you know how to get sound/mic through a Bluetooth headset with Ubuntu/PulseAudio? [02:45] bazhang, did that, screen flashed. but tried playing video and still has the same problem [02:45] HowDoI, ask in #pulseaudio or #alsa because i have never owned a bluetooth device except for my blackberry which i dont have the bluetooth headset to use with it so i have no experience with using bluetooth in linux [02:46] mediatech, completely quit and restarted video? [02:46] Ok [02:46] привет всем [02:46] gza, #ubuntu-ru [02:46] bazhang, ok, thanks... maybe back. [02:46] :) [02:47] i now [02:47] Roboto_Ubuntu, read(!) this factoid: [02:47] !sound | Roboto_Ubuntu [02:47] Roboto_Ubuntu: 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 [02:47] cya all later :) [02:47] Help!!! I installed the ATI binary driver and after I rebooted all I get is a garbled screen. [02:47] I'm off to bed [02:48] ksc654: garbled? [02:48] well that was interesting, i just installed ubuntu, yet it's not bringing up the bootloader at all on startup [02:49] skyeee: Are you booting to the correct HDD? [02:49] Yes. Mostly black with a few pixels here and there. Some blink but most are solid. [02:49] I'm off to bed. Goodnight bazhang. :) [02:49] edbian, yes, i only OS's in stalled on one hdd [02:49] +have [02:50] mobi-sheep, bye :) [02:50] skyeee: What does the system do? Bios post and then report: "No OS" ?? [02:50] headphones and columns work simultaneously, why? in ubuntu [02:50] edbian, just goes straight to windows [02:50] (xp) [02:50] Anyone here have a large personal library? I see two options for managing a library (maybe there are more), Alexandria and GCstar. Anyone have any experience with these applications? Which would you recommend for books only? [02:51] skyeee: I would pop in a live CD and look at the /boot/grub/menu.lst config file on your ubuntu install [02:52] skyeee: How many hard drives do you have in your system? [02:52] ok im screwed just installed, cant boot to Vista or Ubuntu now. Im on a live cd. Any help would be greatfull [02:52] How do I get to a command prompt to troubleshoot when the screen is all garbled? [02:52] no errors on install of grub suring install [02:52] ksc654: ssh [02:53] jander991, two, but only one of them has operating systems installed [02:53] bazhang, well... i rebooted and tried it again. and got the same results. Now I have a Intel GMA X4500 graphics card. its a laptop. [02:53] skyeee: Do you remember, when installing Ubuntu if you saw options for 'Grub'? Its possible Grub loaded the bootloader on the wrong drive (your data drive not your OS drive). [02:54] jannder991 how do ya check that ? [02:54] i can see my linux install. The drive looks good all folders are there etc [02:54] Hi, Can I use ext4 with LVM? [02:55] mediatech, sorry, I did not mean for you to reboot; I just meant to restart the media player? have you tried more than one? mplayer, vlc, etc? [02:55] !lvm | cjae [02:55] cjae: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [02:55] and i can see my 3 windows drives [02:55] bruenig: I have to access it from another machine? There's no way to get to a command prompt from the computer I'm have trouble with? [02:55] headphones and columns work simultaneously, why? in ubuntu [02:55] jander991, i don't recall seeing anything for grub, but there is a grub folder in my linux install (have it booted to live cd) [02:55] gza, columns = speakers? [02:55] ksc654: I am saying that is one way. [02:55] bruenig, ya I read that stuff [02:55] ksc654: are you saying the framebuffer is messed up [02:55] ? [02:55] skyee we are both in the same boat atm [02:55] im runnin off live as well atm [02:56] bazhang, oh... lol yes Ive tried different players and tried changing the video output (x11, xv, etc) [02:56] Piranah: I'm actually not sure. There are instructions somewhere that tells you how to manually install grub [02:56] Piranah, you installed it but it just goes straight to windows? [02:56] headphones and columns work simultaneously, why [02:56] mediatech, what format of video? commercial dvd or something other [02:56] skyee i wish it boots to grub error nothin else. It DID boot to winblows at one point ehhe [02:56] :) [02:57] jander991 ok off to google i go [02:57] speakers [02:57] gza, dont repeat so quickly, and they are called 'speakers', not columns [02:57] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [02:57] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [02:57] thnx [02:57] bruenig: All I know is I installed the ATI binary driver from the package repository and when I rebooted I got the Ubuntu splash shortly followed by random pixel garbage. [02:57] ok [02:57] there exist an app that say me how many time I have used in the desktop for specific applications (the time in foreground, and the time I have used it via kb and mouse?) [02:57] * skyeee tries reinstalling ubuntu, i've got time. [02:57] Piranah, skyeee: Hope that gets you two in the right direction. [02:58] ksc654: have you tried tty? [02:58] like a time tracking [02:58] jander991, should i be looking somewhere to specify where to install grub during startup? [02:58] bazhang, dose it with DVD, AVI, mkv. i'm on a laptop and I have a 22in external screen. when its at a lower resolution its not as noticeable but at full screen on my external it is. [02:58] jander991, i mean, during install << [02:58] >< [02:58] gah [02:59] Hello, I would like to know what the smartest way to upgrade the Firefox version that came with Ubuntu 9.04 (ff 3.0 or something) to ff 3.5 [02:59] mediatech, sounds like a video driver issue then [02:59] hello [02:59] hello world! my first successful IRC post! [02:59] !ff35 | uqs [02:59] uqs: Firefox 3.5 Final is available for Jaunty by installing the package firefox-3.5 | FF3.5 is referred to as Shiretoko on your UI, see http://is.gd/1reB3 for an explanation | Hardy & Intrepid: http://is.gd/1jkNY [02:59] !ff35 [02:59] skyeee: Technically it should install on the first hd of the system. Thats the default anyway. Right before the final "Install" button, there should be a summary display of all the settings. [02:59] just install from repos uqs [02:59] is there a UNR image with .ISO format? [03:00] alright, thanks jander991, i'm going to try a reinstall and take it from there [03:00] bazhang, i was afraid of that. Do you know of any drivers for intel chipsets like they do for nivida and ATI [03:00] bazhang, ok, but will this upgrade my 3.0 ff or install 3.5 as a new program? [03:00] skyee: Good luck, you can use pidgin to come back while you're installing [03:00] hi, I heard that ext3 is slow, i am considering to switch my system to another FS, which one is the best one for ubuntu? [03:00] jander991, i'm currently on here with my eee pc, so i won't be going anywhere :3 [03:01] bruenig: How do I get to tty? Ubuntu goes straight into X and I can't see anything. [03:01] skyeee: ok, I am though, pizza time! [03:01] hi im looking for help with setting up wpa-psk when wext is crashing my system and atmel doesnt work [03:01] jing_ ext3 works just fine... i wouldn't worry about what eveyrone says man [03:01] ksc654: control alt f1 [03:01] ksc654: ctrl+alt+ any F button [03:02] is there a UNR image with .ISO format? [03:02] forces, dont see one, only the img; you can install unr from repos if you wish though [03:02] iceglider: probably not over f7 [03:02] and UNR in text mode? [03:02] unless ubuntu has started using a ton of agetty's recently [03:02] doesn't care if it's .img [03:02] bruenig: not some are already used, that's true [03:02] anyone run a dl380g4? [03:02] not = no ^^ [03:02] forces, minimal install and unr package, or the img [03:03] http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.04/ <--- forces [03:03] when skype works that centranl'nyy processor of loawding 100% [03:03] has anyone set up a fingerprint scanner on ubuntu? I don't have a thinkpad [03:04] bazhang, I did as you advised and just installed FF 3.5 from Synaptic Package Manager (and Gnome support for it) but I can still only find and start up FF 3.0 [03:04] uqs, its called shiretoko in your apps menu [03:04] morphias: firefox have problem with ext3: [03:04] http://news.softpedia.com/news/Who-Freezes-The-System-Firefox-or-ext3-86242.shtml [03:04] hi again :D [03:05] i cant fix this boot problem after install windows :D [03:05] bazhang, aah, I see. why is that? :) [03:05] !fix grub [03:05] Sorry, I don't know anything about fix grub [03:05] http://is.gd/1reB3 <-- uqs [03:05] !grub [03:05] 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 [03:06] bazhang, thanks for that link. It cleared everything up :) [03:07] matyo: got that link? [03:08] jing_ do you seriously read everything b4 trying it for urself? im using ext3 on ubuntu and everything works well enough for my needs [03:09] if i were you, id experiment a little aight man. [03:09] you mean the links from ubottu [03:09] yes [03:09] yeah but they dont help me :D [03:09] why? [03:09] morphias: thanks for your tips, i'll do more research on this issue [03:10] http://pastebin.com/m780436eb [03:10] ok, actually never mind... I'm headed out [03:11] is truecrypt supported on the ubuntu kernel? [03:12] im do realy ideotic work my linux boot partition is 25gb im parse it to 15 gb for windows and 10gb for linux boot after that partiton parse im try to install windows but i cant becouse the new 15gb partition is formated by ubuntu and i delete it and recreate with windows installer meneger now windows work perfect but linux boomed :D and when i try fdisk -l from live cd response is Cannot open /dev/sda [03:12] sorry never mnd long day [03:14] matyo have you checked that the partitions are still there? so that you formated them by accident with windows installer?? [03:14] jing_: that firefox/ext3 article was over a year old. Presumably it's long fixed by now. ext3 is a good, stable filesystem & first choice for beginners... [03:14] yeah they are there [03:15] matyo: did u sudo with fdisk? [03:15] no now they come :P :D === Guest90219 is now known as holass__ [03:16] losher: how about ext4? [03:16] ok one more question now i can see the partitions boot partition os dev/sda1 how can i set dev/sda2 to boot partition _ [03:16] ctrl+alt+F? doesn't do anything. Any other ideas? [03:16] jing_: ext4 on ubuntu is too new to be considered fully stable yet. Wait a couple of releases.... [03:16] matyo: i think u need to toggle the boot flag [03:18] yeah but with manager i cant see partitions when im boot with live cd [03:18] ksc654: if you've installed and started Ubuntu normally you should get a tty by using that? changed anything? [03:18] matyo: try gparted instead. Also, you may want to add a swap partition for linux... [03:19] tnx [03:19] ksc654, ctrl-alt-f1, not ctrl-alt-f [03:19] matyo: btw is it win xp? [03:19] how can i build a gstreamer pipe for sound juicer? [03:20] matyo, Seriously.. you probably need to re-install your boot loader. [03:20] cwillu: I tried all the F# keys. [03:20] morphias: nothing wrong with reading up on what you're doing before you jump in. I wish more people did it... [03:21] ksc654, you're just trying to get a vterm? is x itself working? [03:21] matyo, Did you re-install grub so you can see Windows? [03:21] iceglider: The only change I've made recently was installing the ATI binary driver from the repository. That's what got me into this mess. [03:21] formatting solves all issues [03:21] =) [03:21] skyeee: How is the install coming? [03:21] Piranah: Any luck? [03:21] komet: so true [03:22] cwillu: X is all garbled from installing the ATI driver. I'm trying to drop to a command line so I can troubleshoot. [03:22] jander991, got slightly distracted, and then went and cleared out those partitions, just booting up to the live cd again to intall it now [03:22] ksc654, boot up into the recovery mode kernel (just pick it off the list in grub when you boot) [03:22] skyeee: Too many shinies around? Oooh shiny... [03:22] ksc654: hmm ok and you are at the login screen or where are you when you are trying ctrl-alt-F1? [03:22] ksc654, the fail-safe xorg option that will show up there may be enough to get you going again, failing that, moving /etc/X11/xorg.conf out of the way may also work [03:22] anyone else having cpu performance issues with flash in 9.04? [03:22] jander991, you have no idea... (was also distracted telling my friend how the infected mushroom concert was last night) [03:23] 10k drives are peppy [03:23] if i wanted to create a .sh that uses a sudo command how does that work? [03:23] tolde: "your doing it wrong" [03:23] ... [03:23] i'm testing a tcp client, can anyone think of a port on my localhost I can connect to. I just need to connect to any tcp, i wont actually be doing anything [03:23] iceglider: Yes, I was at the login screen. I'm trying cwillu's suggestion right now. [03:23] why on earth would you want a script to run a sudo script? [03:24] buttons: ssh/22 ? [03:24] Any suggestions or hardware compatiblility sites for a processor/MB combo that's happy with ubuntu? What about 64 bits? If i install a 64 bit ubuntu, will there be progams lacking in the desktop environment? What do I really want? [03:24] Guest65435: why would you want 64bit? [03:24] i want macchanger to run on startup to change my mac address and it needs to do "sudo ifconfig wlan0 down" [03:24] SirStan, 22 is refused like all the rest [03:24] So, it seems that Firefox segfaults every time I try to start it. Trying to start it from terminal or safe mode provides no clues as to why. [03:24] buttons840t: is sshd running? [03:24] i guess i can just connect to some random internet site over tcp [03:25] The recovery menu is giving me a couple options. One is xfix to auto repair graphic problems. I guess it's worth a shot. What do you guys think? [03:25] looking for help with cpu performance problems with Flash in a browser. [03:25] SirStan: Well all the new intel and AMD processors seem to be 64 bit. It's a noob question I know [03:25] tolde: you might want to look at the NOPASSWD option in the sudoers file [03:25] Guest65435: usually people dont care for 64bit unless they have a specific need. [03:26] has anyone tried to play world of warcraft in a vbox windows guest? [03:26] how can i build a gstreamer pipe for sound juicer? [03:26] Cydell, can't WINE run WoW fine? [03:26] cydell: it's better under wine than in vbox [03:26] th0r: alright. do u know the location of the sudoers file offhand? [03:26] 64bit on ubuntu can handle everything 32bit can and it also expands the memory limit [03:26] cydell: vbox is still pretty choppy for 3d [03:26] skyeee: heh. Once you get to the point of almost having it install the system, there should be a way to view a summary of the installation. Let me know when you get there. [03:26] visudo [03:26] someone can help me with Gstreamer's pipelines? [03:27] Yeah wine runs it very well but I would like to play that and some other games [03:27] tolde: you need to edit it with visudo, best to research it a little as messing up that file can get you in real trouble [03:27] alright jander991, choosing the hard drive i want to use now (largest continuous free space) [03:27] buttons840: a good secure installation shouldn't leave any tcp ports open unless it's serving something specific... [03:27] hiya [03:27] Just wanted to know what others had found out I don't like to dual boot [03:27] someone can help me in skiputler plz [03:27] losher, well that's what i have, because i can't find any tcp port to approach on my own system [03:27] th0r. alright man, ill look into it. thanks for the info [03:27] how do i restart samba? /etc/init.d/samba doesn't exist! [03:27] ermac0, Firefox 3.0.11 in Ubuntu 9.04 doesn't download from alot of websites like i'll click download link and downloads will not pop up sometimes it'l give me a save file or open with window i click ok nothing ive even tried opening downloads window myself and apparently nothings downloading and since this happened i end up copying link and doing wget [03:28] losher, hey, good to see you. Got it working last night! :D [03:28] SirStan some people want more than 4 gigs of memory for instance. Do they even make 32 bit processors these days or do you mean I just get a new processor and install the i386 ubuntu anyway? [03:28] sorry ermac0 it auto did that [03:28] hdon: /etc/init.d/smbd I think. [03:28] buttons840: that's a good thing! [03:28] losher, decided i would just connect to a webserver on 80 [03:28] jander99: also tried! [03:28] Guest21538: all intel cpus are 32bit [03:28] i couldn't find how [03:28] iMatter, sounds like you've updated firefox (via update manager or whatever), and haven't quit firefox completely and reopened it yet [03:28] losher, i dont mind reading things, hell i do that myself. i just dont like people who read things and they get so scared they dont try nothing for themselves. [03:28] xTheGoat121x: hi there. So did it work like we thought. A new install with /usr on the SD worked ok? [03:28] hdon: I have /etc/init.d/samba [03:28] skiputler work [03:29] th0r: what system are you on? i'm on jaunty [03:29] 9.04 [03:29] alright jander991, i'm there, says it's only touching this one hdd too., there is a button for advanced option though [03:29] of course then again, im a bit of a risk taker [03:29] Guest21538: 64bit oses have more overhead .. so usually it doesnt make sense to run a 64bit os unless you (a) are stupid, (b) need to keep up with your (a) friends, or (c) need 16gb of ram on your database server. [03:29] should I downgrade to version 8 until the Flash cpu problem is resolved? [03:29] losher, yes, except now I'm having an issue with updating the kernel and getting Firefox to run. Do you know if there's a way to get verbose error messages on a Firefox start? [03:29] hdon: yup...jaunty....ls /etc/init.d/samba returns the file [03:29] skyeee: (On laptop.) Does it say hd(0) ? [03:29] SirStan, what if i want to use my 4 gigs of ram? [03:29] th0r: can you tell me what this command yields? "dpkg -S /etc/init.d/samba" [03:29] morphias: it's one of the problems of not having much experience, you can't fully evaluate risk... [03:30] buttons840: a 32bit os will work better for 4 gb ram than a 64bit os [03:30] hello someone can help me on skiputler [03:30] hdon: working [03:30] Ok, xfix didn't solve anything. I guess I'm dropping to a root shell prompt. [03:30] SirStan, really? i didn't think it could use more than about 3 gigs on a 32-bit system [03:30] losher, you cant have experience without first taking a risk. [03:30] jander99 it says "SCSI3 (0,0,0) (sdb) " [03:30] buttons840: im not sure why you think that [03:30] anyhow. [03:30] skyeee: just listened to their video. Like klezmer meets trance... [03:30] hdon: samba: /etc/init.d/samba [03:30] SirStan: I beg to differ with you, on my laptop 64 bit runs noticeably faster than 32 bit, same distro and version [03:30] SirStan: you are hugely mistaken on most of what you've said lately [03:30] SirStan, 32bit app can't access 4gb of memory, a big chunk of it is reserved for the kernel, as well as any memory mappings the app may be using [03:31] (it's not scsi btw, i think that's just how my mobo deals with ata and sata both hooked up to it) === cee_immuddh is now known as cwo_drummer [03:31] morphias: actually, you can e.g. by reading about it. But we're getting way off-topic... [03:31] All intel CPUs are not 32bit and the overhead for most systems are not really noticeable since most programs today are so memory hogging anyway [03:31] th0r: ah, thanks. i guess i didn't have that package installed, even though i have an /etc/samba/smb.conf [03:31] skyeee: okay, sdb is technically the 2nd hard drive. If that's how it installed last time there's the reason its not booting. [03:31] iceglider: all intel cpus are 32bit. [03:31] SirStan: also onboard devices remove alaiable addressed memory space [03:31] Can you choose sda? [03:31] @sirstan...32bit systems can only use 4gb TOTAL ram including the swap. [03:31] sda should be the first drive [03:31] firepants, ... per process [03:31] losher - moving on :) [03:31] " [03:31] Intel® 64 architecture delivers 64-bit computing on server, workstation, desktop and mobile platforms when combined with supporting software.¹ Intel 64 architecture improves performance by allowing systems to address more than 4 GB of both virtual and physical memory." taken from Intels homepage [03:31] SriStan and you called me stupid. You didn't even get my number right! [03:31] I'm at a root prompt. Any idea how to troubleshoot X from here? [03:31] #facebook [03:31] jander99, i think it thinks my other hdd is the first one, which is my data one.. this hdd is ata, and the other one is sata) [03:32] losher, yeah, they were really awesome live, and all the songs were amped up a bit to get the crowd moving [03:32] Okay, so your primary drive is IDE? What does it say for "sda" ? [03:32] iceglider: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=998&num=2 [03:32] jander99, i opened advanced button, i think i've got what i need here [03:33] ksc654, the recovery x option didn't work? [03:33] i've a topcom phone and i don't know how it work on ubuntu, can someone help me? [03:33] iceglider: there is doom running 10% slower on a 32 bit os. [03:33] jander99, it has a checkbox for install bootloader, and gives me choice of hdd's [03:33] ksc654, (should have been an option named something like that above the root prompt option) [03:33] SirStan: http://www.microdirect.co.uk/Home/Product/21806 for example is a 64bit processor from intel that's three years old... [03:33] boss_mc: im sorry, but thats a 32 bit cpu. [03:33] boss_mc: it has intels 64bit extensions [03:33] jander99 choice of partitions to be mroe precise [03:33] skyeee: Okay, good. You should be able to choose where to install grub. Are there only two choices? (For the two drives you have) [03:33] cwillu: Nope, it mentioned something about overwriting a custom config file. After it finished I tried booting again. No change. [03:34] jander99 choice of partitions, so sda, sda5, sdb(ubuntu install here), sb1(xp install here) and sba5 [03:34] SirStan: yes cause Doom uses so small resources that the overhead is more noticeable, also doom was written for 32 and not 64bit [03:34] should I downgrade to version 8 until the Flash cpu problem is resolved? [03:35] firepants: that could be many years [03:35] firepants: downgrading is a lot of work. Are you sure there isn't an easier workaround on google or some such? [03:35] iceglider: I just want to be clear here -- do you have ANY evidence a 64bit linux kernel running x and standard apps is faster than a 32bit os? or are you just arguing with me because "64 MUST BE BETTER THAN 31 BITS!" [03:35] skyeee: Lemme think here. Its been a while since I had a system with both SATA and IDE drives. [03:36] !ot [03:36] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [03:36] ksc654, sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf, look for a line that says driver "fglrx", and change it to driver "vesa". That should get you up and running. Then you can try setting it to "ati", and finally, using the hardware drivers app in the admin menu, reenable the proprietary driver [03:36] i've been searching any forum i can think of for a solution [03:36] firepants, please refrain from pm'ing people without asking in channel first [03:36] skyeee: Your IDE drive is the data drive? [03:36] SirStan: when I moved from 32bit to 64 bit on my laptop I noticed a big improvement, apps loading faster being the biggest thing I noticed [03:36] any ubuntu recomendation if I'm building a budget computer from scratch, like the $200 range for procesor and MB? AMD or Intel? [03:36] jander99 yeah, it seems silly to run my IDE as my boot drive and sata as my data drive, but i like to have dedicated data drives, and my sata is 1.5tb (and to your question, IDE is the OS drive) [03:36] Guest21538: amd is usually cheaper at that price point -- but for $200? look used? [03:37] SirStan: As a matter of education, what is the difference? [03:37] why not pm? u made a comment, i replied. is there a problem? [03:37] firepants, re: 32bit, "per process" means that the any given process can only use 4gb of address space, including the space reserved for the kernel. On a machine with pae, you can still use more than 4gb memory, but any single program will still only be able to use ~3gb or so [03:37] just the MB and processor. [03:37] ah, kk. thx [03:37] firepants, for one thing, pm's show up in a new tab at the end of a very long list of open channels here :p [03:38] firepants, secondly, it prevents anyone else interested from seeing the replies :p [03:38] firepants: pm'ing without asking first is considered intrusive (i.e. rude). Why? It just is... [03:38] SirStan: I never said it ran faster, I said that it could do the same thing, also a application written for 64 runs just as good on a 64bit as a app for 32bit does on 32bit systems [03:38] !pm | firepants [03:38] firepants: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [03:38] boss_mc: All intel cpu's are still designed to be 32 bit .. they have added 64bit extensions to them.. but they are still at their core 32bit .. and ahve design constraints around that. Compared to an old DEC/Compaq Alpha 64bit CPU that ran 64bit code faser than 32 bit code. [03:38] skyeee: not a problem. So, sda=1.5tb sata, sdb=system drive. [03:38] This may not be the right place for this question, but I'm trying to figure out GPG. I generated a keypair, encrypted a file, decrypted it, was prompted for my passphrase and all was cool. THEN I tried it with another file, and I wasn't prompted for my passphrase this time. Is there any way to require the passphrase each time the private key is used? [03:38] Shouldn't there only be one linux-image installed when upgrading a system? [03:38] pretty nice processors for 80 bucks or so. Dual core and lots faster than the old athlon 2700 im running right now [03:38] also -- I have 8gb ram on my Ubuntu 32bit machine. Suck it. [03:38] SirStan: so one of these http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Itanium is 'real' 64bit? (and intel) [03:38] jander99, exactly [03:39] mytruehero: yes, don't cache the keyphrase [03:39] boss_mc: mhm.. though.. those are all but defunct now :) [03:39] SirStan, that has absolutely nothing to do with an ubuntu 64bit install though [03:39] boss_mc: real or not.. modern intels (most stuff after the 3ghz mark P4) has 64bit extensions.. [03:39] has=have [03:39] skyeee: Okay. And the installer *wants* to install on sdb? I see no reason why it shouldn't work. What are the advanced options again? [03:39] losher:On Oct 11, 2008, the patches that mark ext4 as stable code were merged in the Linux 2.6.28 source code repositories, [03:39] cwillu: xorg.conf is only 33 lines long. Most are comments. There's a "Device", "Monitor" and "Screen" section. "Device" has only one entry under it: Identifier "Configured Video Device" [03:39] morphias:On Oct 11, 2008, the patches that mark ext4 as stable code were merged in the Linux 2.6.28 source code repositories, [03:39] i can respect what u say but i dare say i don't agree with it. but that's just me and my opinion. [03:39] ksc654, okay, in the device section, add a new line: driver "vesa" [03:40] ksc654, which version of ubuntu are you on again? [03:40] Jeruvy: hmm, ok. I'll dig around for how to do that.

[03:40] my assertion was that UNLESS you need a single application to have access to over 3gb of ram (ie, database server) .. most people don't need a 64bit os. === GaSoLine is now known as Waayl-wF [03:40] Jeruvy: Thanks :) [03:40] and that 64bit, on edge cases, is slower than 32bit. [03:40] cwillu: Is X case sensitive? [03:40] xTheGoat121x: old kernels usually remain unless you explicitly remove them, in case you need/want to drop back to an earlier kernel [03:40] SOGA [03:40] jander99, it gives me a checkbox for install bootloader, and then a list of partitions to choose from: sda, sda5, sdb, sb1(xp here) and sdb5 [03:40] MySQL on 32gb ram is clearly faster than MySQL on 3gb RAM.

Dx [03:45] Bob_Dole: underwriting lets the drive continue burning if the data stream fails to fill the buffer. [03:46] Bob_Dole: most modern drives support it. [03:46] i've tried every resource i can think of, including google, ubuntu forums. i even tried ask.com. :P [03:46] who posted the tuxradar link? [03:46] I did [03:48] SirStan, ah. I don't really know. I think it's a fairly new drive. It's a sony, it's shiny, it supports dual layer. [03:48] skyeee: I would install Grub to sdb. If it doesn't work, again. I would try sda. I want to say Windows installs its bootloader on the drive it installs to (in this case sdb) and Grub needs to rewrite the windows boot sector. I don't see why Windows would write its bootloader to sda. I wish I could be of more help. :-\ [03:48] For C++, are there any windows .h files that im able to install? [03:48] I'm confused... I can type in console 'echo $[5*5]' and it will print out 25. however, if i put this in a script and run it, it will print out $[5*5] [03:48] Bob_Dole: see if your burning app has a enable for underrun .. or .. whatever name it might have. [03:48] thanks all. i'll take that as an "i don't have an answer." i'll try elsewhere. nite.

[03:52] skyeee: okay, so it should not be looking at your SATA drive at all for a bootloader. I'd say install to "sdb" and let's see what happens. [03:52] Anyone else have any ideas? [03:52] jander99, i'll try sdb, and then if that fails, i'll try disconnecting the data drive and reinstalling, thanks for the help [03:53] So, i made a -very- simple bash script that is supposed to multiply X by Y: http://pastebin.com/m41f6ef16. However, the final line (instead of being "X*Y = * = ") is: "X*Y = $X*$Y = $[X*Y]". This script is an example from the book i'm using to learn bash scripting.

(haven't used linux for over 2 years now i think, i've missed it) [04:14] yeh - i fix my password problem, thanx for the help... :-) [04:14] 8.04 is soo last year :P [04:14] Nameless_au: Manually, and yes, windows is on a second harddrive than linux, but I dual boot [04:14] lol juanbond [04:14] losher, ahh thanks that cleared a lot of things [04:14] nsadmin: there is a section on the link arand posted showing how to remove the password prompt for sudo. unless you are saying you don't want to have to type sudo/su at all to perform root actions? [04:15] i mean is everyone having issues with 9.04 or certain sound cards/graphics/etc? [04:15] arand: we also tried, in recovery mode, the fix xorg option, but that didn't do anything either, [04:15] okay thanks. I was having a PM session with Desai last night but we were configuring my router and I got cut off. Is there any way I can contact him? Normally I can right-click on a user's name to get his username and domain name at least. [04:15] can someone tell me why this is happening?

[04:15] raziekiel: ok, did u make just one big partition or did you make a /boot, swap and ext3 partition/s? [04:15] juanbond: 8.10 is ok, but 8.04 is on long term support, so you can keep it around for a while. Being 'last year' is for fashionistas. Real nerds prefer stable systems....

[04:16] lwells: logout then back in [04:16] EnragedOstrich, cd ePSXe_install .. don't include mkdir [04:16] raziekiel: ok, did u install windows first or ubuntu? [04:16] ok [04:16] i'm trying to upgrade from hardy to intrepid. i started the update process, then hit cancel because i wans't ready to d/l all that stuff. now i want to update and the update manager doesn't give me the option anymore. what should i do? [04:16] EnragedOstrich: and also you made the directory ePSXe_install, not mkdir .. so you can't cd into a dir that doesn't exist [04:16] Nameless_au: Windows I'm pretty sure [04:16] EnragedOstrich: because it's 'cd ePSXe_install' not 'cd mkdir ePSXe_install' [04:17] nsadmin: there is also instructions in that link on how to re-enable root login... [04:17] raziekiel: pretty sure? lol... [04:17] I am just following this guide.. http://sylvarwolflinux.wordpress.com/2007/11/15/installing-the-epsxe-playstation-1-emulator-in-ubuntu/ [04:17] and since recovery mode's fix xserver option didn't work, I'm afraid xorg's 'dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg' command won't help either [04:17] richardcavell: If the person's not here, not much we can do. [04:17] pagoda: try pressing ALT+F2 and type in `update-manager -d` [04:17] moymoy, nope same thing. the option to upgrade to 8.10 doesn't appear at the top [04:17] oh there is? ok, so I'll read it in that case... the title didn't inspire me but if you say it's there... [04:17] Nameless_au: It's been a long time since I did a fresh install, but windows was first [04:18] EnragedOstrich: it's a typo in the guide.... [04:18] my computer sound like it's about to take off and fly away...can someone please help me turn off folding at home...i can't access it through the system monitor [04:18] haha [04:18] pagoda: have you tried using apt-get instead? `sudo apt-get dist-upgrade` [04:18] nsadmin: look at the index ;) [04:18] Anymore typos? [04:18] pagoda: or go to system > software sources > updates and select nomal releases at the bottom [04:18] since updating the Jaunty, which uses Ath5k i have midiocre download speeds compared to hardy which used madwifi-ng 25-30KB/s compared to 600-800KB/s [04:18] and im in the same room with the router, so those speeds don't make sense [04:18] And the only reason that could be was drivers [04:18] 18-Month old and Faster speeds compared to almost brand new and sucky speeds...i'd take the old one [04:18] \ [04:18] iMatter: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[04:19] Suggestions for dumping memory on an ubuntu server? I've seen suggestions for dd'ing /proc/kcore, and they said it should be equal to the amount of RAM that I have, but that's not been the case for me at least. [04:19] when creating partitions, do most people just allocate their hd and set the mount point to / ? or are there any recommendations? [04:19] moymoy, that won't be the graphical update interface will it? [04:19] juanbond: do you plan on dual booting or doing separate homes? [04:19] juanbond, / is correct [04:19] juanbond: *separate home folder [04:19] raziekiel: can you type 'df -h' and paste the output on http://pastebin.ca [04:19] 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. [04:19] <[Pwner]John> meh [04:19] ooc well wget http://www.epsxe.com/files/epsxe160lin.zip doesn't work [04:19] <[Pwner]John> ubuntu almost finished installing on vbox [04:19] <[Pwner]John> :D [04:20] juanbond: the automatic partitioner generally makes reasonable choices. It's ok to trust it, unless you have special needs... [04:20] hi ~all [04:20] apt-get didn't work [04:20] Nameless_au: http://pastebin.ca/1498992 [04:20] iMatter: yes, i suppose dual (multiple boot) would be ideal ... advantages to separate home directories? [04:21] ok thanks, that is what I needed [04:21] i got it. i just had to click "check" [04:21] juanbond: when you need a fresh install, or something happens to your Ubuntu you just reinstall to the "/" partition [04:21] thanks [04:21] iMatter, probably have a WindowsXP and Windows7 boot. Then virtual machine everything else [04:21] pagoda: nope, it's not graphical [04:21] oh wow, ePSXe's website is down [04:21] pagoda: apt-get is cli [04:21] could i just create a partition for /home? [04:21] or, do it to what my username is going to be [04:21] EnragedOstrich: not your night tonight, is it? [04:21] juanbond: yep, a partition for "/home" [04:21] I know it [04:21] ping [04:22] pong [04:22] hey everyone [04:22] how much space is recommended then for /? [04:22] juanbond: meaning you can install new non-official upgrades to ubuntu or a new OS that supports /home entirely and not mess with your data in your /home making it pain free [04:22] raziekiel, my ping to you is like 15000 ;) [04:22] Hasn't been my night for the last 10 nights [04:22] does anybody know of a free open source peer to peer client that works on ubuntu like frost wire, apparently the one i downloaded wat to old or something [04:22] does anyone know what the default Mac font settings are? I installed all the Mac fonts and am trying to use them with Ubuntu but am wondering what font/font size I should set for everything to use [04:22] <[Pwner]John> would these commands work for a mac because they are on the same source..? [04:22] juanbond: maybe 4-10GB [04:22] haha oh no man, thats no good ;) [04:23] juanbond: a fresh Jaunty install is like 2-3GB itself [04:23] hi there, anybody can tell me how to save opened tabs in gnome-terminal every time i log in? [04:23] iMatter, I have a 1TB drive so be conservative? [04:23] Guest38417: I think it comes with one... [04:23] profiles don't operate with tabs [04:23] juanbond: depends what you're using the machine for, what other mounts there are and what you're trying to accomplish [04:23] Can someone tell me something? I'm new to Ubuntu and doing well so far but I am wondering if there's anyway to have a second clock. I googled it and the results on the Ubuntu forums are not very helpful :( [04:23] I just opened a torrent file and I was up and running [04:24] Guest38417: did you check out frostwire's site? [04:24] juanbond: O.o, 10GB should be enough if not you can always resize it, also yes make partition for your Windows7 and Vista and XP [04:24] this machine is going to be my dev machine... lots of virtual machines, many development tools, apache/php, etc... [04:24] I would like to have a clock somewhere that will let me see a second timezone so I can always see the time where a friend lives. [04:24] raziekiel: nothing looks wrong there [04:24] juanbond: maybe 15-20GB then [04:24] iMatter: I'll make it 50GB :) [04:24] then I never have to worry about it :) [04:24] <[Pwner]John> 88% [04:25] juanbond: so lots of server daemons running, lots of log files generated and you want to protect / from filling? [04:25] <[Pwner]John> !Patience [Pwner]John [04:25] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [04:25] then the idea behind the /home/username is you keep all of your data there right? [04:25] juanbond: i highly doubt you'll use that much for "/" but ok :P [04:25] Nameless_au: Well, whe nI open up partition editor, my /hom is 29.9 gigs, not 9.. [04:25] well... Please, anybody knows?.. [04:25] <[Pwner]John> !wait [Pwner]John [04:25] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [04:25] <[Pwner]John> aw [04:25] Ubuntab: you can add another location to the clock, then click the clock to see it in a dropdown, or change to that time, but it won't act like a widget to see *both* other than the dropdown [04:25] juanbond: 50GB is too big, you'll never use it all.

[04:26] !separatehome | colloguy [04:26] colloguy, please see my private message [04:26] you're also goign to want separate /tmp and /var at minimum... I'd also consider separate /boot and /usr [04:26] I just built my i7 2.6ghz/12gb ram/1tb hd/9800 gt machine and about to install ubuntu on it :) [04:27] raziekiel: if you could paste a screenshot of your partition manager i could confirm [04:27] Alright [04:27] raziekiel: first what partition manager are you using? [04:27] juanbond: that's quite a powerhouse... 20GB root, 12GB swap, the rest /home. vmware or vbox? [04:27] Nameless_au: GParted 0.4.3 [04:28] raziekiel: k [04:28] losher: vbox i've been told [04:28] raziekiel: paste to http://imagebin.ca [04:28] Can anyone tell me why flash sound is out of sync lately? [04:28] Ubuntab: np, you can surely get a different widget-like clock if you do want to show both, I just don't know of one and that would mean installing something else [04:28] juanbond: Yes, a very powerful machine. You can afford to spend a bit more on root and swap. [04:28] juanbond: good choice, way better than vmware imo [04:29] nowimproved: There's a bug report about that for 64-bit Flash alpha player [04:29] juanbond: personally I prefer vmware, but either work well I'm told... [04:29] nowimproved: there is a proven bug in mozilla while playing porn [04:29] cool beans [04:29] richardcavell, i don't have a bug right now [04:29] Nameless_au, don't you ever get sick of making useless comments? [04:29] so i still need a swap even though i have 12gb of ram? [04:29] juanbond: What are you running within VBox? [04:29] debacle: If it became a worry later I guess but for now I think your solution is actually a hell of a lot better :D [04:29] Nameless_au: http://imagebin.ca/view/mkDOAvDx.html [04:29] richardcavell: basically all windows os's [04:29] juanbond: Well, you don't NEED it [04:29] Is there any reason not to use Ubuntu Karmic right besides the usual "it's still Alpha" ? [04:29] Right now* [04:30] nowimproved: relax guy i was only joking [04:30] juanbond: i doubt it but they'll tell you that you do need one just make it like 1GB [04:30] richardcavell: xp, vista, 7 .... 32bit and 64bit [04:30] juanbond: Are you going to run them all at once??? [04:30] richardcavell, richard, i don't have 64bit, I mean [04:30] richardcavell: not all at once, but probably 3-4 at most. [04:31] richardcavell: i'm a web developer so i need to test on many os/browser combinations :( [04:31] juanbond: no matter how much ram you have, swap allows you to offload little-used memory to make room for more fs cache [04:31] HowDoI: not really, plenty of people are using it, but if you stumble across bugs, don't act surprised [04:31] nowimproved: you said that your sound was out of sync. That's a bug. I'm saying it's a known bug with 64-bit flash player === michael__ is now known as BB82 [04:31] debac1e: cool, thanks! i'll just make my swap like 6gb [04:31] i think a swap of 6gb is quite enough considering i have 12gb of ram === Prodego_ is now known as Prodego [04:31] opinions?

VBox will swap your VMs to virtual memory if it runs out === billing is now known as sintya_dwi_anjan [04:32] richardcavell, i understand this, I'm just saying that I'm not using 64bit, I appreciate the tip, just seeing if you were capable of divulging further [04:32] juanbond: I was running Win7 on Ubuntu with 3 Gig RAM and it swapped about 1 Gig to my swapfile === andi is now known as Guest24438 [04:32] <_Apple_> Can anyone help an inexperienced lynux user?

[04:32] sorry\ === sintya_dwi_anjan is now known as dwi_sintya_anjan [04:32] nowimproved: Okay. Well I saw a bug report for 64-bit. I don't know if it also exists in 32-bit. [04:32] <_Apple_> .... [04:33] <_Apple_> why would you had at lynux? [04:33] juanbond: please do not make fun of the newbies... [04:33] _Apple_, yeah stop using MAC products [04:33] losher: i'm a newb myself :) [04:33] <_Apple_> i dont use mac [04:33] <_Apple_> .... [04:33] juanbond: all the more reason... [04:33] <_Apple_> is lynux a mac product? [04:33] :) [04:33] _Apple_, what's the question Linux! [04:33] losher: good point :) [04:33] <_Apple_> ooo [04:33] Haha, it looks like I answered my own question. Ubuntu Karmic freezes immediately after boot. [04:33] <_Apple_> linux? [04:33] <_Apple_> lol [04:33] <_Apple_> well [04:33] juanbond: your 12 Gig will get eaten up. The virtual machine will allocate all of the RAM that you give to each VM. [04:33] <_Apple_> its my bfs comp [04:33] _Apple_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:34] losher, iMatter, richardcavell, debac1e, thank you for the help! [04:34] <_Apple_> ......... i dont....... [04:34] HowDoI: Seriously? Fill out a bug report. [04:34] _Apple_, post the question [04:34] _Apple_: ask your question. If we can help, we will... [04:34] _Apple_: You can use Linux on a Mac, but it's not produced by Mac [04:34] not produced by Apple, I mean [04:34] <_Apple_> oh. well i dont use mac [04:34] juanbond: your help [04:34] juanbond: err your welcome [04:34] Jaunty did the same thing when I installed some brand-new Intel graphics drivers [04:34] <_Apple_> my question is how do you do the double monitor thing? [04:35] Nameless_au: http://imagebin.ca/view/mkDOAvDx.html [04:35] !xrandr | _Apple_ [04:35] _Apple_: XRandR 1.2 is the new method of running dual screens in !X. Information/HowTo here: http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 [04:35] HowDoI: Intel graphics support sux big time on Ubuntu. It's a pity because it's a common laptop chipset [04:35] <_Apple_> hes finally gotten it to where he has a separate desktop that shows up on the tv, but we cant get it to ..... i guess exchange applications from the actual computer moniter to the one on the tv [04:35] Well my main machine uses Intel graphics [04:36] HowDoI: Mine too [04:36] Upgrading the kernel to 2.6.30 solves some of the problems, but it creates others [04:36] _Apple_: ahh, you might have started the system in double seat mode, meaning youll have too assign a seperat keyboard+mouse too that monitor [04:36] sorry.. another quick question... should all my partitions be primary? [04:37] alright, i'm trying to enable dual monitors in my gfx settings (nvidia) and when i hit save to x it says that it's unable to create a back of xorg.conf so it doesn't save it [04:37] juanbond: you have a hell of a lot of choices there. [04:37] juanbond: yes, if you can. You can only have four though. What are your partitions going to be? [04:37] one choice is lvm [04:37] !language | nsadmin [04:37] nsadmin: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [04:37] skyeee, in terminal type gksudo nvidia-settings ..that will allow you to save to xorg.conf [04:37] gartral: Do you object to the word h-ell? [04:37] skyeee, then restart X after you've made the changes. all set [04:38] bastidrazor thanks [04:38] no, he's objecting to lvm surely... [04:38] richardcavell: swap = 12gb, / = 60gb, /home = 500gb ..... then the rest of my drive, i will worry about later.. i have a 1tb drive if you didn't catch it. [04:38] it's the first part to hello [04:38] Why would the Karmic liveCD work but when I reboot after installing, it immediately crashes? [04:38] bastidrazor, what's the command for that again? ctrl alt backspace seems to be disabled, and it's been a few years since using linux :/ [04:38] nsadmin: LOL [04:38] juanbond: Make all of them primary partitions. Are you intending to install Windows natively at any point? [04:38] <[Pwner]John> how do we install flex? [04:38] <[Pwner]John> app-get install flex? [04:38] skyeee, alt + sysrq + k [04:39] HowDoI, #ubuntu+1 for karmic discussion [04:39] thanks [04:39] HowDoI: File a bug report if you can figure out what the problem is [04:39] !dontzap | skyeee [04:39] skyeee: To re-enable the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace combination that restarts your X server, you can install the "dontzap" package and use the command « sudo dontzap --disable ». The combination Alt+SysRq+K can also be used to obtain a similar effect. [04:39] <[Pwner]John> anyone? [04:39] <[Pwner]John> D: [04:39] I would like to find out what the problem is, but the system locks up immedately [04:39] <[Pwner]John> how do i get flex [04:39] richardcavell: possibly... i will want to see how virtualization works first... i'm sure it's going to be fast enough, but just wonder if when i need to do windows development, if booting natively will be better.... [04:39] So ok [04:39] <[Pwner]John> it isnt installed [04:39] HowDoI, karmic support in the other channel [04:39] I understand [04:40] juanbond: It'll definitely be faster but if you're checking compatibility the VM will be fine [04:40] juanbond: I would make 3 primaries plus an extended, for the simple reason that this will allow you to add more partitions later if you want... [04:40] <[Pwner]John> flexxx [04:40] <[Pwner]John> hmm [04:40] <[Pwner]John> install flex..? [04:40] losher: extended? [04:41] [Pwner]John, sudo apt-get install flex [04:41] [Pwner]John: You mean the lexical analyzer software? [04:41] juanbond: I can't speak for vbox, but vmware runs pretty fast, about 90% of native if you believe their hype... [04:41] <[Pwner]John> doesnt vmware cost money? [04:41] <[Pwner]John> ah [04:41] juanbond: I can run Windows 7 at about 70% of native speed on my Ubuntu box, but my computer runs out of RAM and swaps to hard disk. [04:41] <[Pwner]John> its sudo [04:42] <[Pwner]John> rt everyone [04:42] Qemu seems to have terrible performance on OS X, while vbox is decent on OS X. [04:42] juanbond: partitions come in two flavors: primary & extended. Extended is a workaround for the fact that you can only have 4 primaries max... [04:42] Bob_Dole: I reckon VBox works better on Linux host [04:42] losher: really, did not know there was a limit. [04:42] <[Pwner]John> ty* [04:42] I have OS X and Linux and it just feels faster on Linux, probably because there's less overhead [04:42] qemu and vbox have kernel extensions on linux [04:42] [Pwner]John: yes, I think vmware costs money [04:43] yes it does. VirtualBox does not. [04:43] Hi. I'm running a basic, pure-text version of Ubuntu 9.04 (netboot (not netbook) install). I want to find a simple way of switching from 80-column text mode to 132 columns. Is there a simpler way rather than "kernel boot video mode" or "VT100"? [04:43] VirtualBox's development is rocketing ahead. I'm really impressed by their changelogs. They're working feverishly on it. [04:43] juanbond: learn something new everyday. Why not start with vbox. You can always migrate later if for some reason you aren't happy with it [04:43] losher: very cool, thanks for the help! [04:44] VMware Player is free..but someone else has to make the VM for you. [04:44] juanbond: Yes, use VBox. There's nothing wrong with it. [04:44] can someone take a look at this 'crontab -l' and 'auth.log' excerpt and tell me why cron has so many entries in auth.log? http://paste.ubuntu.com/220903/ [04:44] alright, got dual monitor going now, but it has the wrong one thinking it's default, is there an easy way to fix this, or should i just swap the wires? [04:44] (uhh, by default i mean, with the menu bars and everything) [04:45] skyee, you using a laptop or desktop? [04:45] Dinara [04:45] desktop [04:46] <[Pwner]John> what is yacc? === wolfy is now known as Guest58338 [04:47] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yacc [04:47] yacc is berkeley's compiler compiler [04:48] Yet Another Compiler Compiler [04:48] bison is gnu's tribute to yacc [04:48] and flex is gnu's tribute to lex [04:49] Anyone out there that can help me? [04:50] !ask | MattPhilie [04:50] MattPhilie: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [04:51] i guess i could just try swapping the cables if nobody has an idea how to make the taskbars etc be no the other monitor [04:51] Hi guys, how do I reverse the chmod o+w example/foo/bar command [04:51] morning everyone [04:51] Dustan: chmod o-w example/foo/bar [04:52] Anyone got a clue what the hotkey for mouse navigation is in kde? [04:52] Oh.. sorry.. Well I just got Ubuntu and I downloaded a .deb and went to open it and got this message. /tmp/cairo-dock_v2.0.8_i686-1.deb could not be opened, because the associated helper application does not exist. Change the association in your preferences. [04:52] is tofrodos really the package containing dos2unix?... that's really wierd [04:52] MattPhilie: dpkg -i filename.deb [04:52] MattPhilie, downloaded a deb? why not install from the software repos? [04:52] <_Apple_> gartral is there any way to take it out of double seat mode? and weve tried hooking up a new mouse but it didnt work. it was like fighting over control [04:53] Neroon: System -> Preferences -> keyboard shortcuts [04:53] bazhang, sometimes (many times) the repos isn't at the latest version [04:53] jefinc: Thanks, i know that, but the prob is it activates itself when i'm playing et and that messes up my movement [04:53] Well. I have cairo dock.. it works.. but I want to add themes to it that i downloaded it. I dont see the folder for it in the home folder. i even did ctrl + h to show hidden files.. THen they said to get the package file for it [04:54] ascheel, latest is not tested against Ubuntu packages, not a good idea to go outside of the package manager for a slightly higher version number [04:54] Hey, I'm considering Virtualbox-OSE as an alternative for WINE. Is this a good idea? And also, is there a guide to installing and configuring it? I'm still a little noobish, so any help here would be appreciated. [04:54] jefinc: And I want to deactivate the hotkey, I somehow accicdently always activate [04:54] bazhang: not always a good idea, but the joy of Ubuntu is we can do with it as we choose. :) Installing whatever we want and sometimes that requires a .deb download [04:55] Apollo2366: As much as I like Virtualbox, I hate the impossibility of moving snapshots. [04:55] ascheel, true, though finding something in backports would be wiser, or failing that, a trusted PPA -->I am assuming he just downloaded a random deb from a 3rd party website (the worst choice) [04:55] Neroon, I'm not sure what a snapshot is. [04:56] Apollo2366: You can take a kind of a "picture" of your actual installs, changes etc of your windows or whatever system you're running in the Box [04:56] Neroon: System -> Preferences -> Keyboard -> Mouse Keys [04:56] bazhang, sometimes an application like Amarok 2.1.x isn't possible through the Ubuntu repositories due to the fact it's written for KDE. However, people make .debs. Due to some of the features this application is providing in the newer versions, backports are not a possibility. [04:57] Apollo2366: it depends on what you plan on running [04:57] ascheel, kubuntu has PPA and backports :) [04:57] anom1: was wondering that myself i found this but have not tried it yet http://fvue.nl/wiki/Linux:_Terminal_sizes_beyond_80_columns_x_24_rows [04:57] jefinc: Can't find it in Hardy KDE [04:57] jefinc, Games. That's pretty much it. [04:57] understood, but the latest of all applications are not available on it all the time. Either way, sometimes repositories don't have the answers [04:57] Apollo2366: they're not equivalent. wine lets you run *some* windows apps without installing windows. virtualbox requires a licensed copy of windows to be installed and pretty much emulates a complete pc [04:57] So how do I go about opening this? if I get /tmp/cairo-dock_v2.0.8_i686-1.deb could not be opened, because the associated helper application does not exist. Change the association in your preferences. [04:57] Neroon: running jaunty, sorry :\ #kubuntu ? [04:58] jefinc: K, might try my luck there. Thanks anyway [04:58] ctmjr: thank you. [04:58] Neroon, that's neat. Do I need to know anything really advanced about virtualization to be able to use Virtualbox? [04:58] MattPhilie, why would you need that version? [04:58] Apollo2366: You dont want to play Windows Games in a Virtual Machine? You might be looking for wine maybe? [04:59] !info cairo-dock | MattPhilie [04:59] MattPhilie: cairo-dock (source: cairo-dock): A light and eye-candy dock to launch your programs easily. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.6.3.1-0ubuntu1 (jaunty), package size 312 kB, installed size 928 kB [04:59] Neroon, Wine has been a complete nightmare for me. [04:59] bazhang: that wasn't his question, bud. he's trying to learn how to associate an application to the ubuntu repository files [04:59] Apollo2366: the problem with games in a virtualbox is that it doesn't usually emulate the graphics adapter as well as it should, or atleast not in my experiences, there are alternatives to wine such as cedega, but I personally just dual boot to windows if I want to play a game that requires directX [04:59] ctmjr: yes, i was looking at it. i was hoping for a "mode con" (DOS command) equivalent in Linux that allows me to switch the text video mode whenever I want. [04:59] Apollo2366: You dont have 3d acceleration in a Virtual Environment like VirtualBox afaik [04:59] bazhang: I have the application.. Cairo Dock.. It works.. But everyone said to add the theme I downloaded I have to go to the home folder and go to the .cairo dock folder and all that and do that.. But I dont see that folder. I even did ctrl h to show hidden files [04:59] Neroon: that's what I was about to say :) [04:59] ascheel, let's try to encourage best practices please [05:00] clouder`grr: :-) [05:00] MattPhilie, which theme [05:00] MattPhilie: you can create the folder with 'mkdir .cairo' [05:00] Apollo2366: it seems as though everyone in here is pointed in the same direction, windows for games, linux for computing ;) === [3]Sergeant_Pony is now known as Sergeant_Pony [05:01] Umm I just got ubuntu I Know nothing but bazhang: its a mac osx one.. and ascheel: I Just create that in home and place it there and the theme will be in the theme manager? [05:01] MattPhilie, you have a link to said theme? I will try it if so [05:01] jefinc, well alright then, I was hoping I wouldn't have to keep windows around, but... oh well. === justin__ is now known as zenlunatic [05:01] MattPhilie, create the folder in your home directory (shorthand for your home directory is just the tilde ~) and put your theme into there [05:02] Apollo2366: we never want to keep it around, but it's like a virus, you can't quite get rid of it ;) [05:02] bazhang: http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Mac+OSX+Leopard+Cairo-Dock+theme?content=72085 [05:02] ascheel: will try [05:02] Apollo2366: And so you go the path of every gamer, sadly ... I'd love to get rid of windows as well. [05:02] MattPhilie: also, welcome to Ubuntu. :) Feel free to experiment with your operating system. We'll gladly answer any questions you've got. [05:02] jefinc: it's like a drug, too addictive. [05:03] ascheel: Thanks.. SO far its tricky but I Love the look and feel [05:03] im having some graphics problems.... how can i find what graphics driver im using and then get a better driver? [05:03] * Bob_Dole doesn't have to keep windows around, except to get 1 old computer working well....all the other 15 machines don't need anything but linux. [05:04] ascheel: mkdir .cairo like that? With the space? [05:04] Bob_Dole: sadly I still need a Windows PC to run World of Warcraft halfway decently. :( [05:04] correct, MattPhilie [05:04] pedestrianentran: there are some great guides on the ubuntu forums about setting up graphics drivers, what type of card are you running? Nvidia? ATI? [05:04] well, a total of 3 of these many machines run windows...because the users like Windows Media Player 9. [05:04] MattPhilie: mkdir is short for Make Directory. [05:04] jefinc, Neroon, I've been curious about this for a while. What does make Linux software so different from Windows software. It must be pretty substantial for game-producers to not try and cash in on the Linux crowd. [05:04] i have an nec monitor it can do a max of 1024x768 but i cant seem to set it, in display settings.. says monitor unknown.. help please [05:04] ascheel: afaik WoW runs perfectly with wine [05:04] Apollo2366: Linux doesn't have much market penetration [05:05] jefinc: i wish i knew. how do i find out? i think its built in [05:05] Apollo2366: And even if it did, any Linux users who like games run the games on Windows [05:05] Neroon: not on my linux PCs. My Linux PCs are all underpowered boxes at the moment. :( [05:05] woah! a Linux-pro-and-con discussion. [05:05] i'm stuck on 800x600 and cant alter some apps. [05:05] ascheel: I think Crossover is free too if WINE is too much for ya [05:05] AHh sorry bout that.. I just closed the wrong thing [05:05] urthmover: CrossOver is NOT free [05:05] CrossOver is the commercial version of wine [05:05] there was a Crossover free license a couple months back at least [05:05] there WAS a free crossover [05:05] Apollo2366: the problem is games have been so heavily based on directX for the past years to get away from it would be starting over, and windows will never hand directX over [05:05] Can I barbeque mashmallows here? [05:05] Lame Duck promotion [05:05] urthmover: I think that was a special thing [05:05] richardcavell, that's too bad. [05:05] !ot > anom1 [05:05] anom1, please see my private message [05:05] Apollo2366: They just dont think the market is big enought yet. And I guess they're right. Sad but true [05:06] Apollo2366: the executables in Windows are entirely different than those for Linux. All programs CAN be written for Linux, but you're talking a MASSIVE number of man-hours to do it and that's simply not in some companies' budgets, unfortunately. [05:06] ascheel: Oh, and I though my pc was slow ... [05:06] Apollo2366: Game makers would support OS X before they support Linux [05:06] So, I just shared a folder on another PC on my network, now how do I see the shared folder on this PC? [05:06] the other PC is Ubuntu 8.10 and this one is Linux Mint [05:06] Neroon: haha... my Linux PCs are Intel Atom CPUs and Mobos. They're awesome file servers, but not much for gaming. :) [05:06] Apollo2366: It would be inherent in the design of the game to support OS X as well as Windows. For one thing, you'd have to use OpenGL and not Direct3D. [05:06] ascheel: I cannot find the theme in the application it self. It only shows the default one.. I made mkdir .cairo in the home folder and added the folder of the theme into it and had no luck.. [05:06] Apollo2366: It would be better for Linux if they wouldnt use MS Direct X, but OpenGl [05:07] My main PC is a 2.8ghz Core 2 Duo, 4GB RAM, ATI Radeon HD 3850..and it only has Ubuntu 9.04 installed [05:07] help with a monitor problem please... i cant switch to 1024x768.. says monitor unknown and i'm stuck in 800x600 [05:07] ascheel: I see, but then you cant really complain anyway ;-) [05:07] MattPhilie: I cannot help you with the theme itself. I just knew how to help you get the directory created that the application was looking for. [05:07] hi everyone, i need help with my dell xps m1530 wireless on ubuntu 9.04 [05:07] anyone get libnotify working with mutt? [05:07] richardcavell, does MacOS support DirectX? [05:07] Apollo2366: Hell no. [05:07] Neroon: haha, wasn't complaining. Was just stating why I keep my windows PC around. I also do a lot of work at home for my company and it requires Winodws. [05:07] Mac OS X does not support Direct X [05:07] Windows* [05:08] Apple's a OpenGL supporter! [05:08] Question: I just shared a folder on another PC on my network, now how do I see the shared folder on this PC? [05:08] ascheel: One small day .... :-) === Nuke_ is now known as _NUKE_ [05:08] I hate windows... so much [05:08] Bob_Dole: Well, DirectX is Microsoft proprietary so Apple don't have the option of supporting DirectX. [05:08] !ot [05:08] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [05:08] Neroon: lol I'd GLADLY switch to Linux except... .NET, as much as I hate it, is part of my work. [05:08] richardcavell, they have the money to buy a license for it, I'm sure. [05:09] can someone take a look at this 'crontab -l' and 'auth.log' excerpt and tell me why cron has so many entries in auth.log? http://paste.ubuntu.com/220903/ [05:09] bazhang, sorry :) Didn't mean to get off topic [05:09] ascheel, well...there is mono..but not sure if it's quite what you need xD [05:09] ascheel: I just meant, one small day it wont matter what platform you use ... [05:09] Bob_Dole: Who said it was available for licensing? I think it would be very difficult to make Direct3D run on Linux or OS X anyway. [05:10] Could anyone help me with Cairo Dock.. I can't get a theme to work that I downloaded.. [05:10] MattPhilie, the instructions say Extract to:~/.cairo-dock/themes/ [05:11] MattPhilie: there you go. Create the directory .cairo-dock and put the theme in THERE. Not going to tell you how to do it, just use what I told you last time. [05:11] I need some help with sharing folders [05:11] richardcavell, money can make anything available. [05:11] newkular: ask the question, bud. [05:11] bazhang: I cannot locate that.. Even with ctrl h to see hidden files. I was told to do that.. Like.. THey said to get the package file and it will make it [05:11] BUt ok I will try that [05:11] newkular, what is the problem? [05:11] Well, I shared one folder on another PC on my network. Now how do I see it on this PC? [05:11] MattPhilie, have you run the cairo-dock yet? [05:12] how can you play an mp3 or wav from the command line? [05:12] newkular, be less vague [05:12] newkular: is the PC you're on right now Ubuntu? [05:12] Bazhang: yes it works [05:12] newkular, Places -> Network should show it... [05:12] It's Linux Mint, which is similar to Ubuntu [05:12] it's currently open too [05:12] It doesn't show it [05:12] did I set up the share thing incorrectly? [05:13] can anybody help me. I can not connect wirelessly or via ethernet. I have a Dell XPS M1530 dual booting Vista and Ubuntu 9.04 (wubi). I have a Dell Wireless 1505 Draft 802.11n WLAN Mini-Card. As for an ethernet controller, i have a Marvell Yukon 88E8040 Fast Ethernet Controller. I've tried ndiswrapper and ndisgtk, but to no avail. can anyone help me??? [05:13] I'm a complete network newb here so cut me some slack. :D [05:13] MattPhilie, and there is no .cairo-dock/themes/ folder? [05:13] bazhang: Nope.. Which is why people said to download the package.. Since I am new.. I am lost and confused and feel very dumb [05:14] MattPhilie: Don't feel dumb :) [05:14] MattPhilie, not sure what to tell you, using the repo version it works fine [05:14] MattPhilie: type this: mkdir .cairo-dock && mkdir .cairo-dock/themes [05:14] MattPhilie: that will create both directories. Put the theme into the themes directory [05:15] I followed the instructions for sharing from here: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/internet/C/networking-shares.html [05:15] Now how do I access the share on another Linux PC? [05:15] would anyone be willing to pastebin their /etc/apache2/envvars file (redacted, if necessary) for me? [05:15] how do i get wine to run apps/games? [05:16] Alright ascheel [05:16] Ubuntu just refuses to put mine back [05:16] newkular: is it shared? [05:16] iamslango: I can, stand by. [05:16] newkular: just connect to the server [05:16] bono, install wine and check the appdb to see how they run [05:16] ascheel, thanks [05:16] histo: how?

[05:23] There is no "networking" option under "administration" [05:23] newkular, hello, do you have a question about Ubuntu? [05:23] I was told there was one [05:23] it's not there [05:23] I'm using 8.10 [05:24] newkular, no... it's just buggy for some reason... Auto-discovery doesn't work for a lot of people for some reason... Always worked fine for me... :S [05:24] newkular, you could connect by using an ip address... can you find out the server's ip? [05:24] zenlunatic, honestly setting up a static IP in ArchLinux has been easier [05:24] bono, try this lshw -class processor [05:24] newkular: check under preferences [05:24] Ah! [05:24] histo, auto-discovery is not working... [05:24] Network configuration? [05:24] under preferences? [05:24] newkular, places --> network [05:25] newkular... um... this? [05:25] newkular: what are you trying to do now i'm confused [05:25] BB82, is the box online with dhcp now? [05:25] I'm trying to connect to a shared folder on another ubuntu machine [05:25] histo, share files between two linux pc's [05:25] newkular, are you on the MINT machine now or the Ubuntu one [05:26] I'm on the Mint machine [05:26] no idea how MINT has it set up [05:26] It's usually similar enough to Ubuntu to work just like it [05:26] in my experience [05:26] besides the fact that the GUI looks different [05:26] newkular, then places --> network (Ubuntu) [05:26] BB82, you can still use the /etc/network/interfaces file if you like... having an interface listed in that file will disable NetworkManager for that card [05:27] <[Pwner]John> the ubuntu start up songthing is weird [05:27] well [05:27] on my ubuntu machine, the one that is serving the share, I can see the share that way [05:27] but not on this machine [05:27] bazhang, histo, Apollo2366 : newkular's problem is that samba's autodiscovery is not working... Both if his machines are set to the same hostname and that probably causes trouble for samba... [05:27] <[Pwner]John> i cant connect to the internet [05:27] <[Pwner]John> using virtualbox [05:27] <[Pwner]John> D [05:27] <[Pwner]John> : [05:27] <[Pwner]John> anyone know why? [05:28] bazhang, histo, Apollo2366: *of [05:28] Kalmi_: yes, and I was tryign to change my hostname earleir to test that theory [05:28] !nfs [05:28] nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. [05:28] but I don't know how [05:28] ....b4 my gpa kept trying to put windows vista on this computer for me but it wouldnt even boot after he installed it... so i installed ubuntu and it works but i want windows xp,,,, how can i tell what version of windows xp i need? *x32 bit? x64? x84?) [05:28] newkular, https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/internet/C/networking-changecompname.html [05:29] bono, i told you the command [05:29] Um, there's 2 kinds of XPs. x86, and x86_64 [05:29] the x86_64 isn't all that well supported [05:29] zenlunatic, No, i changed it all and now it's not online at all [05:29] I'm telling you, there is no "network" option under "administration" [05:29] hi, is there a linux program that can access built-in fingerprint scanner fingerprint banks? [05:30] I'm using 8.10. Did they change it? [05:30] BB82, you changed the config files or did you use the GUI? [05:30] and x86 (32bit) runs on anything the 64bit varieties do. [05:30] newkular, I suggest that you restart both of your machines after changing the hostname so that samba won't stay confused [05:30] Kalmi_, ive been told that NM needs to be disabled for all that to work properley. so i went ahead and tried without NM (disabling it from startup) [05:30] Kalmi_: may I speak to you in PM to avoid the confusion of all the chatter here? [05:31] zenlunatic, ok i disabled Network Manager, then edited /etc/rc.conf /etc/network/interfaces /etc/resolv.conf [05:31] !easysources [05:31] Sorry, I don't know anything about easysources [05:31] newkular, no...

[05:32] any suggestions of a (cheapest) 3g capable mobile phone i could use as a modem with ubuntu? Im guessing there would be driver software needed to make it work [05:32] the way everyone keeps telling me to do it won't work for me [05:32] Question: Is there a clock utility I can slap on my desktop in Jaunty? I've had some issues with cairo-clock and the default time feature doesn't mesh with my design. [05:33] hold on [05:33] ill help you with it [05:33] so either one (x64 or x32) should run on this computer>?

I'm rebooting now. It's really annoying because everything in ifconfig looks perfect, but i just can't surf the web [05:34] bono, its not complicated [05:34] richardcavell: I'll check it out, thank you for the suggestion. :0) [05:34] AFK [05:34] bono, go back to your apple than [05:34] Will any version of windows run on this computer>?

[05:35] I am proat windows! [05:35] zenlunatic, i've been told that if i had version 8 it would be fine, but something stuffed up when they made ver 9 and changed everything [05:35] bono, Linux is simple. It just takes a genius to understand its simplicity. :) [05:36] BB82, are your routes ok? [05:36] course you are, cept when it comes to the heavy lifting that you cant get to [05:36] Nothing works out of the box like it does in linux. I have to use a slow and unreliable wireless connection on my iMac to download and burn all the driverpacks to a DVD to get stuff working :| [05:36] Kalmi_, do you know how many times i tried with the GUI? [05:36] on windows [05:36] BB82, no :) [05:36] hello [05:36] yay, now to figure out how to get my audigy2 setup [05:37] BB82, commandline :) [05:37] D: [05:37] on linux.. I don't even install and most stuff is working already..then I install, and OMG, EVERYTHING WORKS!....never seen windows do that before. [05:37] BB82, are you routes ok?

[05:38] i just got this computer and it doesnt say... [05:38] bono what computer do you have? [05:38] bono, you're on linux right? open up command line and type cat /proc/cpuinfo [05:38] and idk how to check [05:38] unless you have a new intel dual-core/quad-core, it will have to be 32 bit windows [05:38] bono, just use 32 bit.... That will work no matter what [05:38] Kalmi_, hahaha that link is NOT for Jaunty [05:38] No.... My friend has a pentium 4 with x64 bit.... [05:38] slright [05:38] I changed my hostname [05:39] now I'll reboot and see if this works [05:39] BB82, it's not really different [05:39] yeah, you can have 64 bit pentiums [05:39] Question: can anybody help me. I can't connect to the internet wirelessly or via ethernet. I have a Dell XPS M1530 dual booting Vista and Ubuntu 9.04 (wubi). I have a Dell Wireless 1505 Draft 802.11n WLAN Mini-Card.

[05:39] July 17, Nelson Mandela's 91st birthday! Mods, please add to topic! [05:39] but they are designed for 64 bit [05:39] I think bono is a troll.

[05:39] and better yet, ##windows [05:39] idk though [05:39] !troll | bono [05:39] bono: trolling / trollish behaviour is behaviour that is considered annoying by other channel users, this includes going offtopic, asking the same question time and again getting answered and not acknowledging the answer, and these are not the only ways behaviour can be considered trolling, please see /msg ubottu guidelines - if this applies to you, you may find yourself outside the channel [05:39] BONO, IT WILL RUN 32BIT, GET 32BIT AND SHADDUP, GO ASK THE WINDOZE FOLKS IN #windows [05:40] Kalmi_, anyway i nuked Netowrk Manager off completely, i manually edited everything and now it works [05:40] bono: ask bill gates and probably that woudl be good because no one is interested in windows here [05:40] bono: Why the h... dou you ask that question on a Ubuntu-Linux chat? [05:40] With windows I know how to pirate, crack, create crack/hacks/viruses, etc. But with this i can do noothing! [05:40] lol your a dumbass [05:40] he definetely is [05:40] Bill gates only lives 45 min away from me... [05:40] Yeah... bono, then by freenode guidelines we can't exactly help. [05:41] not that i would actually be able to talk to him... [05:41] if you know how to "crack/hack" and you cant figure out linux, your cracks and virii must suck [05:41] bono, so basically with Windows you can be a complete menace to society [05:41] !ot | bono [05:41] bono: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [05:41] hey all [05:41] /ignore bono!*@* [05:41] zenlunatic: already did that ;-) [05:41] bono: I'll speak for myself: I'm definitely not interested in windows or pirating, find your corner (oh that's right, you're in a round room, sorry) and hope everyone looking for you finds what they're looking for... [05:41] UHHHH [05:41] Kalmi_, all good after a restart [05:41] any more questions? [05:41] bono, why don't you go ask him then? [05:41] Fine heres a question thats ubuntu related.... [05:41] I am having trouble with initial sign-on of phpldapadmin(doesn't accept password), just recently installed openldap on ubuntu... Any ideas? This seemed pretty easy, but where does the login id come from (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DM_UQVVVtoY) [05:41] just ignore the windows troll bono [05:42] WHY DOES LINUX UBUNTU SUCK SO MUCH!?!?!? [05:42] BB82, btw I don't use NM.... :) [05:42] gfh [05:42] fh [05:42] df [05:42] gh [05:42] bono: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[05:42] then make them write it down [05:42] Bob_Dole: absolutely [05:42] that was a pretty crappy troll [05:42] j2daosh, oops, my bad [05:43] Kalmi_, I'm using ArchLinux and to be honest getting a static IP on this was much easier than in Ubuntu because it's all commandline and i can read what's going on instead of a stupid incomplete GUI deciding it for me [05:43] :P its ok, i will forgive you this time [05:43] anyways, does anyone know of a *.doc output for LaTeX ? [05:43] but arch is gay [05:43] BB82: you know ubuntu has a commandline too [05:43] Question: can anybody help me. I can't connect to the internet wirelessly or via ethernet. I have a Dell XPS M1530 dual booting Vista and Ubuntu 9.04 (wubi). I have a Dell Wireless 1505 Draft 802.11n WLAN Mini-Card. As for an ethernet controller, i have a Marvell Yukon 88E8040 Fast Ethernet Controller. I've tried ndiswrapper and ndisgtk but to no avail. can anyone help me??? [05:43] hey i get a warning about dcop server when i boot up ...everytime i boot up. [05:43] ok, just installed Jaunty 64bit, would it be a safe bet most of the software in the repository is also going to be 64bit? [05:43] urthmover: and you know this how? [05:44] nsadmin probably because he has used it? [05:44] :P [05:44] haha cool my irssi script works thanks nsadmin [05:44] j2daosh, yes but i wasn't told that everything i did in the command line would be useless unless i nuked Network Manager completely [05:44] just tired man and foollin around arch is fine [05:44] Geoffrey2: yes, it is no problem [05:44] lol BB82 well that will teach you to trust us :P [05:44] network manager blows for alot of stuff [05:44] like openvpn client..you can only connect to one at a time...whats that all about? [05:45] j2daosh: so he knows its sexual orientation because he used it? does that say anything about his orientation? [05:45] ya know, i cant say as i have had a problem with network manager, i use the kde version and its nice [05:45] is it okay to share a home folder between jaunty and intrepid? [05:45] nsadmin, beats me. i would say ask what his sexual pref is, but i know better :P [05:45] colloguy: yeah, why wouldn't it be? [05:46] j2daosh: supposedly so do I but I guess I got triggered by the other troll [05:46] j2daosh, that makes no sence at all. So every time a stupid GUI doesn't work i've got to go fishing for answers when i could have done it by a simple edit? Fuc|c you man [05:46] can ubuntu be updated from like jaunty to karmic without having to reinstall everything all over? I recently installed ubuntu to completely transition from windows. [05:46] richardcavell: jaunty-specific config settings may be incompatible with old version? (not sure) [05:46] haha, adobe still doesn't have flash for amd64 out yet? i have to download a crap-load of lib32* stuff -_- [05:47] Question: can anybody help me. I can't connect to the internet wirelessly or via ethernet. I have a Dell XPS M1530 dual booting Vista and Ubuntu 9.04 (wubi). I have a Dell Wireless 1505 Draft 802.11n WLAN Mini-Card. As for an ethernet controller, i have a Marvell Yukon 88E8040 Fast Ethernet Controller. I've tried ndiswrapper and ndisgtk but to no avail. can anyone help me??? [05:47] colloguy: well, that's not Jaunty that's the problem. You're asking whether your config settings are compatible from one app to the other. [05:47] j2daosh, wow you got burned [05:47] lol BB8, im just messing with you. i dont come in here much because my system is already set to go and i dont update so nothing breaks :P [05:47] one version of the app to the other [05:47] masterchild, yes... but don't upgrade to karmic yet! karmic is not ready yet.... [05:47] Karmic ships in october, yes? [05:47] but on a lighter note, if you used the Knetwork manager, things would work much better :P [05:48] xtremeshredder: what does dmesg say about your wired ethernet? what does lspci say about it? (you might have to pastebin it if it's a lot of data [05:48] ) [05:48] !karmic [05:48] Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [05:48] Kalmi_, okay, I was just wondering since I don't want to have to clear out all my stuff once karmic is done [05:48] Bob_Dole: Yes [05:48] can somebody test http://www.ownage4u.nl ? [05:48] j2daosh, i'd like to see hm use a gui to modify a 1000 users at work or something :D [05:48] richardcavell: so then, for practical purposes, it is not a good idea to share a homedir between jaunty and intrepid? [05:48] i am not in linux now (since i have no internet) ill try to type the commands and come back [05:48] lol zenlunatic no thanks [05:48] colloguy: People share a /home folder between OS X and Linux without issue [05:49] thats just asking for trouble :P [05:49] you can always just mount the other /home instead of sharing [05:49] colloguy: both running at the same time? not a good idea [05:49] and a bottle of excedrine [05:49] I mean, running alternately :P [05:49] I knew I should have stuck with i686 [05:49] j2daosh, i was thinkin of another bottle [05:49] or maybe [05:49] screw flash [05:49] lol well the only other bottle i know is jack :P [05:49] colloguy: I agree running at the same time is not a good idea, but I don't think you're trying to do that [05:49] but thats too strong for some [05:49] j2daosh, I couldn't get a modem(phone) working in KDE... worked fine in Gnome... YMMV as always :) [05:49] sorry fixed firewall rule [05:50] Kalmi_: well see the wonderful thing about kubuntu/ubuntu, the underpinning is the same [05:50] richardcavell: nope I'm not, just want to share settings :P [05:50] how do i access the xkb keymap to change anything? [05:50] Where can I find out information about my computer's hardware in Ubuntu? [05:50] colloguy: I would have thought it's not a problem [05:50] so i just apt-get install kubuntu-desktop and away i go [05:50] i.e. what menu? for some reason I cannot find it, even though I thought it was easy to find [05:50] LLFoolJ: Command line is best [05:50] using both kde and gnome applications :D [05:50] LLFoolJ, theres tons of stuff in /proc [05:50] Neroon: What do you want to do? [05:51] If I have a bootcamp gpt/mbr hybrid, is it okay to install jaunty on partition 5 (which appears on the gpt only)? [05:51] richardcavell: Getting rid of the Keaboard Gesture "feature" [05:51] how do I find out information from the /proc directory zen?

[05:52] LLFoolJ, are you looking for something specific [05:52] i need help [05:53] ask. don't ask to ask [05:53] no, I was just hoping for some kind of general menu or something with some basic hardware settings, since someone was asking me about it generally [05:53] LLFoolJ: You could always get a phpsysinfo [05:53] CPU, memory, hard drive space, graphics card, that kind of thing [05:53] Neroon: type xkbset q [05:53] So I'm still having trouble with sharing folders [05:53] http://alpha.ziber.org/sysinfo <-- like that. [05:53] how can i watch dvds on ubuntu? [05:53] Kalmi_: thats why i have both installed and just load into KDE, i like the windows manager better with KDE but i like some of the gnome apps better, so it works out because i get my nice windows manager and all the neat little applications that work with gnome :D [05:54] richardcavell: thanks, but i need to install it first ...

Like I will be listening to music in Rhythmbox or watching a video in Totem and it will play a couple songs or play a video and then when i skip a few songs or just let it keep playing eventually it just freezes the program and my sound stops working. [06:11] this is what lspci said [06:11] newkular: what is the group [06:11] j2daosh: I don't know [06:11] as for dmesg, i didn't see anything about ethernet... [06:11] paste the line for that directory [06:11] xtremeshredder: ok, now we gotta find a driver [06:12] j2daosh: I can't. I'm using remote desktop to get to that PC [06:12] ahh [06:12] do you have another machien you can use to talk here? [06:12] Neroon: Mate, I don't know where to find it in kde [06:12] the PC itself has no monitor [06:12] do you know where i can find one? and a linux or a windows driver?? [06:12] richardcavell: NP. Thanks anyway. But it isnt a kde prob :-) [06:12] hold on, we will take this convo private so as to not get distracted with the clutter [06:12] rycar linuxchild there are good games out there for Linux, you can get some from Synaptic, and you can do google searches such as 42 of the best Linux games, and get on to stuff [06:12] linux, maybe it's in say 2.6.29 or so [06:12] j2daosh: good idea [06:12] do you have another machien you can use to talk here? [06:13] no :( [06:13] using subversion, is it possible to link a working directory to a repository via a relative path? [06:13] how do you get the xxxx:yyyy from lspci? [06:14] does your machine have a card reader [06:14] like an sd card reader, yeah [06:14] got a card for it? [06:14] rycar: what kind of games are you looking for? [06:14] no [06:15] but i can find one if you want [06:15] dang... [06:15] exit [06:15] oh, well, find one... it could be handy because you're going to be rebooting a lot to find info... but before you do it again now, let me google the lspci line [06:16] ok [06:16] ok be right back [06:16] Hello, I would like to know how to get the update for ubuntu to make i NBRt the [06:16] How do I find out my refresh rate? I'm using the nv driver on an agp 6600gt and don't want to install the nvidia driver. I can go up to 1280x1024 and down to a nice 1024x768, but white text is still looking like less than 70hz refresh... [06:17] meglo: Can't help actually, but why dont you want to install the nvidia driver? [06:17] Neroon: because it breaks and I don't need 3d [06:18] sebsebseb, see you later,mate [06:18] Neroon: I dislike the cludgy and non-working nvidia-xconfig thing too. [06:18] meglo: I see. Never heard of breaking, but well ... [06:18] Kalmi_: remember the network locking up? Just dropped that second NIC I had. Everything network related seems more responsive. Because they were almost identical (almost, but not quite), I'm wondering if the drivers for each weren't interfering with each other? [06:18] Neroon: It breaks on my specific system, but I'm just wondering where I can find out the refresh rate [06:19] Neroon: xrandr shows nothing... [06:19] meglo, prefs> apppearance > fonts > details [06:19] meglo: Havent been working with xrandr, sorry. I'm no help there [06:19] How can I install NBR by updating my Ubuntu 9.04? [06:19] My roommate's having a bit of computer trouble, and I was wondering if I could get some help.. he can't log in. he puts in his username and password, and then the system hangs, instead of letting him on. [06:19] 1024x768 0.0* [06:19] it should be 75.0* Or 85... [06:19] tawm, are you able to get us the results of 'dmesg' ? [06:20] I need help getting btnx to send keypress events from some of my mouse buttons. [06:20] defrysk: Errr, that doesn't seem to apply to anything I was asking. But thanks for that menu it does have some things I'd like to configure. [06:20] tawm, is mouse cursor movable? [06:20] nsadmin: ok i have one [06:20] ascheel: possibly, would it be accesible via a live CD? [06:20] meglo: What does xorg.log say? [06:21] Incarus: Yes, the mouse and keyboard work fine [06:21] tawn, dmesg would have to come from you while you're logged in. [06:21] Neroon: let me take a look [06:21] tawm, and ctrl+alt+F1? [06:21] ascheel: then no. [06:21] tawn, it's all system messages (especially hardware and errors) [06:21] Incarus: he's trying it now. [06:22] tawm, k [06:23] Okay then. System is now unbootable. I think his harddrive might be failing. [06:23] xtremeshredder take a look at... [06:23] http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Sony_Vaio_VGN-CS21S [06:23] tawn, see if you can boot to a live CD and run some checks on it [06:23] the shortcut for lower the sound volume does the job twice in one hit, how can i fix this [06:23] Neroon: when it loads up the VESA modes available for the card under the nv driver, it does state (II) VESA(0): 1024x768@75Hz which would be preferable. I can't find anything about it setting a resolution [06:23] lowering [06:23] ascheel; doing that now, thx [06:24] meglo: hm [06:24] tawn, or you can simply try booting to recovery mode, create a file called /force_fsck (I think that's the name) even if it's blank, then rebooting [06:24] I downloaded Adobe Flash Player.. and if I go to a page with flash on it, FireFox closes down.. What do I do? [06:24] meglo, refresh rate settings are automatically [06:24] MattPhilie: where did you get the plugin from? [06:24] ascheel /force_fsck would be the full path to the file? [06:24] just the wired eth parts, that's not the machine you got [06:24] yes,tawn [06:24] Neroon: I think it is detecting my monitor's vsync and horizontal refresh correctly too [06:24] meglo: Only time it tells me what frequency it uses, is when it starts compiz here. [06:25] ascheel: I was on YouTube.. It said to download it.. Then do the manual install. I installed from Adobe's website [06:25] tawn, there's no _. It's just /forcefsck [06:25] meglo: But that is out of question with the nv driver, i guess [06:25] ok, im looking at the ethernet part [06:25] Incarus: I understand that. But the refresh rate set automatically hurts my eyes and I wonder how I can change it(Gnome's display control wont let me do anything but change the resolution). [06:25] mattPhilie, it's recommended to do this: sudo apt-get install flashplayer-nonfree [06:25] Neroon: I'm just using metacity(no compositioning) [06:25] meglo: Dumb question. Your monitor itself doesnt tell you somehow? [06:25] if you end up having to build the driver, that's the kernel config [06:25] meglo, you can edit /etc/X11/xrog.conf [06:26] tawm: sorry about that, I mistyped it the first time around [06:26] meglo, *xorg.conf [06:26] how would i build it? [06:26] ascheel: OK.. How do I go about removing the current one.. so firefox won't close on me [06:26] Neroon: I assume it has some EDD(???) chip info that outputs it to the graphics adapter [06:26] MattPhilie: erm.. I honestly don't k now. [06:26] ok, any idea how to make ntpd actually update the system time? [06:26] Incarus: Ok, well I thought that is what would happen in the end [06:26] Incarus: He doesnt want to edit it, he wants to know it's actual frequency [06:26] Geoffrey2, "sudo ntpdate ntp.ubuntu.com" [06:26] Neroon: My monitor has documentation that does tell me, but otherwise that info is non-obvious [06:27] hello everyone. Can you offer help to a brand new ubuntu user? [06:27] meglo: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xorg-server maybe [06:27] ascheel: By the way.. I go this from the terminal running the sudo command thing ... " sudo apt-get install flashplayer-nonfree " [06:27] Hello all, I have been followng the snort how-to on the ubuntu forums but I cant seem to exectute snort. When I try 'sudo /etc/init.d/snort restart' I get a 7 second delay and then it returns 'Snort failed to start ...' in red writting. Was wondering if anyone knows whats going on here? [06:27] Neroon, he want to edit it, because his actually refresh rate is bad [06:27] Neroon: No, I do know the frequency, at least those numbers look correct from what I recall. [06:27] steve1: yes, what's your problem? [06:27] nsadmin: how would i build the driver? [06:27] Oops ascheel [06:27] One sec [06:27] well one sec... [06:27] nomad77: I'll seee... [06:27] meglo, its in xorgt.conf file [06:27] I just installed ubuntu and have no sound. [06:27] ok [06:27] meglo: No, I meant some buttons on your monitor. I can press the menu button here and the first thing it tells me, is resolution and frequ [06:27] Ascheel: I ment to say I got this Couldn't find package flashplayer-nonfree [06:28] !flash [06:28] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [06:28] oh. [06:28] it does [06:28] Does anyone know how to update Ubuntu to NBR? [06:28] FH - 48 KHZ [06:28] meglo: So you just want to change it? [06:28] FV - 60hz [06:28] are you running amd64 or ix86 kernel? [06:28] Neroon: Yeah, 75HZ or more [06:28] i386 x86 [06:28] steve1: Did you have sound on the Live CD? [06:28] Sorry, MattPhilie it's: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [06:29] Incarus, ok, thanks [06:29] maybe you could find a 2.6.29 kernel for your ubuntu [06:29] I downloaded the OS from the ubuntu website so I have no live CD [06:29] what's your uname -r [06:29] Neroon: I'll have to do it through dpkg-reconfigure or editing the xorg.conf myself probably, which is fine [06:29] there's a ppa for 2.6.30 [06:29] Geoffrey2, np [06:29] steve1: how did you install Ubuntu? [06:29] Does anyone know how to update Ubuntu to NBR? [06:29] steve1: sounds like you done a Wubi install, from inside Windows? [06:29] fillayy_, NBR? [06:29] rtfm [06:30] I downloaded the iso from the website, burned the image to a CD and installed it on the pc I'm currently using [06:30] ardan [06:30] steve1: that's a live CD [06:30] steve1: Did you boot the computer from the CD and then install? [06:30] meglo: I dont see the problem then .. [06:30] sorry, I'm new to linux terminology [06:30] nsadmin: username??? [06:30] ascheel: the Live CD's also have Wubi on them [06:30] steve1: if you boot from that CD, it's called a live CD when you boot all the way into Ubuntu while it's running off of the CD [06:30] ascheel: It says within the message flashplugin-nonfree is already the newest version. [06:30] .. SO I have it already? I tried youtube and it crashed on me [06:30] yes, booted from computer and installed [06:30] sebsebseb: ah, gotcha. My bad [06:30] no, uname -r [06:30] tht's different from a userhame [06:31] it's your kernel name [06:31] MattPhilie: did you close,restart firefox after? [06:31] how do i find that out? [06:31] so then, no. I had no sound from the live CD [06:31] uname -r [06:31] steve1: if you put the CD in Windows and then installed Ubuntu, you used Wubi, if you booted the computer off the CD and then installed Wubi you did a partitioend install [06:31] would i have to into the terminal and type uname -r [06:31] Neroon: I was wondering if there was an easy way to do it. I'm not totally sure of my monitor's capabilities, or how my graphics card can operate under the nv driver... the gnome-display configuration under system administration will not let me set the refresh rate so I'll have to go about it differently. [06:31] steve1: did you do the test Ubuntu without touching hard disk option, which is the default when the Live CD is booted? [06:32] nomad77: I closed it and opened it again [06:32] yeah you would... I'm trying to find out if you already have .29 [06:32] ok [06:32] nsadmin: there's a ppa for 2.6.30 [06:32] ill be back then, gotta boot into linux [06:32] waht's a ppa [06:32] meglo, the right nvidia drivers should work ;-) [06:32] nsadmin: also why do you think you need a later kernel anyway? [06:32] I tested the disc, if that's what you mean. It passed, then I installed it to the hard drive [06:32] how do i install windows? ;) [06:32] sebsebseb: marvell nic [06:32] steve1: did you try Ubuntu from the CD, with the graphical user interface and other programs? [06:33] Incarus: That is still an option. [06:33] mailman: really? [06:33] haha no [06:33] nsadmin: hardware issues don't just get fixed in later kernels, well depends [06:33] sebsebseb: no, I just installed it [06:33] :P [06:33] meglo, an xorg.conf [06:33] steve1: ok well the Live CD can be used to test hardware properly, before installing anything [06:33] Incarus: I have to create one first it seems, with dpkg-reconfigure [06:33] steve1: ,but now you installed and have no sound hmm, is it a lap top? [06:34] sebsebseb: yes, it's a toshiba laptop [06:34] Hmm, on debian it was interactive [06:34] How do I get rid of all the things i downloaded for flash!??!?!? Everything i go to with flash in firefox crashes on me [06:34] fsck -f /dev/sda is reporting an error: "Error 2 while executing fsck.ntfs for /dev/sda1" [06:34] steve1: that explains it, lap tops that came with pre installed Windows, can have right issues when Ubuntu goes on them, normalley it's the wireless, sometimes sound [06:34] sebsebseb: it's this one (and it's for xtremeshredder) [06:34] steve1: ,becaue of how the hardware manufactures don't all support Linux properly [06:35] hello guys how to use virtualbox?i cannot get out into the box unless if i shutdown the os then i can use the mouse.how to use the mouse and get out the virtualbox wizard?

What can I do about that? [06:35] meglo, k, i have to go,bye [06:35] Shambler : i did that nothing happen [06:35] he's finding out his uname -r [06:35] steve1: sound isn't my area, since it's a pain to do stuff with, but if your lucky someone else can help you get it working, you will have to wait for someone, also I can give you the sound bot stuff, but it probably won't be that useful, and you probably won't understand it [06:35] he has to reboot every time [06:36] !sound > steve1 [06:36] steve1, please see my private message [06:36] jigp: Then sorry, I dont have it installed to check something else [06:36] sebsebseb: any idea the name of the module for that card? [06:36] steve1: sometimes other distros work where Ubuntu didn't, you can try another one for example Mandriva from a Live CD/DVD if you want [06:37] jigp: Guess you changed the default key for it, maybe? [06:37] steve1: and if sound works there, but not in Ubuntu, then at least you know your issue is an Ubuntu issue, and not a Linux distro issue [06:37] fsck -f /dev/sda is reporting an error: "Error 2 while executing fsck.ntfs for /dev/sda1" on my roommate's computer.

Where do I check for pm [06:39] Shambler : to get out in right ctrl? [06:39] steve1: there should be a tab with ubottus name on it [06:39] Shambler : how to get out in the virtualbox?

[06:45] homercycles: ATI can have issues, but tends to be ok I think depending on which card, Nivida tend to have rather good support, but their driver is propritary, also be sure to install it from the repo for such a card, rather than directly from them, or problems can happen [06:45] sorry. had sidebar hidden. slightly non-elegant [06:45] Ziber: Can you run sudo traceroute ? [06:45] I am using Ubuntu 9.04 and can't get Mobile Broadband and sound to go. [06:45] Ziber: try sudo [06:45] nsadmin: its 2.6.28-11-generic. are you here??? [06:45] please tell me : how to add friend in irc? [06:45] I can run it as sudo. [06:45] I tend to be happy with repo drivers. I'm not one of these "gotta have the latest X server" nuts :-) thanks for the recommendations [06:45] :/ Why not as normal user? [06:45] manhnhu: I don't think you can as such [06:46] I just want one that will be good for Startcraft II (in XP) when it comes out. My ATI x300 is a tad old now [06:46] DOES UBUNTU HAVE A SYSTEM BACKUP FEATURE? [06:46] manhnhu: well it depends on your IRC client I suppouse [06:46] !caps | callum_ [06:46] callum_: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [06:46] >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> DOES UBUNTU HAVE A SYSTEM BACKUP FEATURE? <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< [06:46] Suppose I have a computer dual booting ubuntu and win7. Win7 runs into a bluescreen very quickly (could be related) ubuntu hung when username/password were entered, tried running repair mode to fix things and at some point in repair mode, it said there was a hard drive failure (I wasn't around when that happened) and now when booting, the screen goes multicoloured, and the loading screen tiles itself across the top of the screen... rig [06:46] ht now I'm running a liveCD, and just finished running fsck on the linux partition, which reported no problems... any suggestions? [06:46] !fstab > newkular [06:46] newkular, please see my private message [06:46] !backup > callum_ [06:46] callum_, please see my private message [06:46] callum_ can't go past clonezilla IMHO [06:46] ty [06:46] np [06:47] Ziber: Have a firewall? [06:47] Nope. [06:47] Ziber: Can you also ping [06:47] homercycles what do you mean i am n00b [06:47] lol [06:47] tawm: sounds like your hardware is failing [06:48] I can ping as non-root, just not traceroute. [06:48] tawm: and if it's the hard disk or some such, you will get problems in both OS's [06:48] callum_: we were all noobs at one stage. Just google "clonezilla". it's a linux distro that boots up and steps you through attaching to USB storage, network, etc, and then backing up entire HDDs or partitions [06:48] nsadmin: uname -r gave me the result 2.6.28-11-generic [06:48] whats the program i can use to make a back up [06:48] sebsebseb - that was my first thought, but the hard drive is only a year old [06:48] tawm: well blue screen of death in Windows is never good [06:49] callum_: as far as backing up just files, I use the rsync command to synchronise my /home folder with a directory on a removable USB hard disk [06:49] tawm: hardware failing, bad drivers, or malicious programs such as viruses can cause it [06:49] homercycles oh ok thanks :S so i just download that to use drive [06:49] Ziber: Can you "ls -l /etc/alternatives/traceroute" and tell me the ownership of the file? [06:49] callum_: download the ISO of clonezilla and burn that to a CD, then boot off it [06:49] homercycles i want to have like a system restore disk/usb drive - that i can use whenever incase [06:49] tawm: also hard disks can fail after a year [06:49] tawm: they just tend not to [06:49] homercycles ok thanks x [06:49] jander99: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 33 2009-07-18 01:43 /etc/alternatives/traceroute -> /usr/bin/traceroute-nanog.genuine [06:50] callum_: clonezilla would be ideal, then. been a few months since I updated my clonezilla backups. better do that soon, I guess [06:50] sebsebseb - is there a way to run a more thorough check on it? [06:50] tawm: join the ##hardware channel, they can probably help [06:50] Ziber: I would assume you apt-get install traceroute-nanog instead of traceroute? [06:50] Can anyone tell me how to go about REINSTALLING my /boot partition from an Ubuntu LiveCD (9.04) [06:50] no one can help port forwarding? [06:50] nsadmin: uname -r gave me the result 2.6.28-11-generic [06:50] callum_: clonezilla isn't as pretty as things like Acronis, but it has excellent hardware support and it's free [06:50] sebsebseb - k, will do. thanks for the assist. [06:50] tawm: np [06:51] homercycles what one :( im confused http://clonezilla.org/download/sourceforge/ [06:51] Hmm. I removed that and it works, thanks. [06:51] Hey is 9.04 still buggy? [06:51] should I upgrade to it now? [06:51] callum_: I always go with the stable one [06:51] Ziber: No problem. I actually don't know what the -nanog variant does :P [06:51] 9.04 on my asus eee pc 1000H is epic win [06:51] cause I am sick of my gnome terminal in 8.10 [06:51] callum_: the iso/zip file [06:51] I use grsync, which is just a GUI for rsync. What's the advantage of clonezilla? [06:52] homercycles ok top one on table? stable [06:52] yes [06:52] ty [06:52] disappearedng: 9.04 is not buggy [06:52] NETBOOKREMIX Is trash - [06:52] imo - [06:52] callum_: http://sourceforge.net/projects/clonezilla/files/clonezilla%20live%20testing/clonezilla-live-1.2.2-25.iso/download [06:52] yeah netbook remix sucks [06:53] yeah how do I upgrade the gnome-terminal ? [06:53] callum_: actually, disregard that URL [06:53] nsadmin: uname -r gave me the result 2.6.28-11-generic [06:53] callum_: I fell for the testing version. not good. try this: http://sourceforge.net/projects/clonezilla/files/clonezilla%20live%20stable/clonezilla-live-1.2.2-14.iso/download [06:53] oh i started to download it homercycles [06:54] homercycles - its 101 mb downloading now what do i after? burn it to a cd-r [06:54] callum_: yes [06:55] homercycles, will it partition my drive and make a backup of my OS - Or burn a backup to another CD/DVD [06:55] callum_: then boot off it and follow the on-screen instructions. maybe read their documentation on the web site if you're not sure. I'm about to go so I won't be around to answer your questions [06:56] Oh Ok :( [06:56] callum_: it'll backup your hard drive to an external source: USB hard drive or over the network. not sure if it burns to disk [06:56] USB Thumb Drive? [06:56] Or HDD - External :( I don't have a USB HDD [06:56] callum_: I don't think clonezilla will do partitioning, that's not its purpose. possibly to USB thumb drive if you have enough space on it [06:57] nsadmin: uname -r gave me the result 2.6.28-11-generic [06:57] Ok cool thanks X [06:57] callum_: it should also be able to backup to an existing partition on the same hard drive, if that's what you tell it to do and you have pre-prepared such a partition for the backup to go onto [06:57] so if i ever need to restore i can just pop in the thumb drive and boot of it? [06:57] callum_: boot off the clonezilla CD then it refers to the thumb drive when it's ready to restore the backup [06:57] ok [06:58] Welp, Jockey wont allow me to install the Nvidia binary blob anymore. It should be on my system - I downloaded&Installed but then removed it... but trying to activate it via jockey-gtk is now working [06:58] callum_: good luck. cya [06:58] homercycles bye x [06:58] and thankls [06:58] Is there a work-around for this, or should I do silly stuff like try and restart and do it again [06:58] :) [06:58] So any BI-GAY Guys here?

[07:17] http://clonezilla.org/clonezilla-live/doc/ <-- callum_ read the documentation [07:18] question, I have a box with 2 addresses assigned to it; I have eth0 and eth0:0. when I tunnel thru the box using eth0:0, my end IP appears to be that of eth0 and not eth0:0. I'm not good with IP routing and have been googling a while. [07:18] callum_, that is 3rd party software so you need to handle that on your own [07:18] nsadmin: no [07:18] Screw it. I'm just going to try nouveau [07:18] jander99:I have 3.01 version. [07:18] DaniXTeam, okay. And the problem is inside an Ubuntu VM? What seems to be the issue? [07:19] slacker, Have you tried installing the nvidia drivers through the terminal? [07:19] DaniXTeam: And what are you using for host OS? [07:19] jander99:My host is Windows Vista Home Premium (without SP1).

A bunch of files into an iso, or rip a CD into an iso? [07:25] i want ti make an iso for a thing i'm doing and be able to edit it, just wondering if theres a program out to do that [07:25] Any one know how to install anjutha in ubuntu 9.04?

[07:33] Shambler, mirc has an option [07:33] Is Windows 98 free now? [07:33] now we've to guess which client he is using ;) [07:33] Shambler, iirc it is in configure Konversation settings [07:34] eh [07:34] EnragedOstrich, please discuss in #ubuntu-offtopic [07:34] bazhang: Searched the hell out of it ... no success yet [07:34] nsadmin: ill be back... [07:34] if it is I am gonna partition part of my drive to play Emulators on it [07:34] This is on topic [07:34] Shambler, perhaps a quick search of the Konversation docs, just a second [07:34] caffemisto: dont really want to install mirc, when there is already a workin client installed [07:34] latibay: basically the process is... configure the source, build it, install it (generic) OR configure the source, use make-kpkg to build it, install the resulting packages [07:35] some suggestions how i can remove apache from my ubuntu system ? [07:35] g4l question: how do i make g4l only create an image of actual used space, not every single bit on the drive?

I need that as not a partition, but my primary OS [07:46] medibuntu.org emanux [07:47] dhaval_: You can give more permissions in Users and Groups [07:47] Because there are certain webpages that I'd like to look at while working as root [07:47] like, [07:47] dhaval_, use sudo, not root [07:47] emanux: enable partner in System -> Administration > Software Sources [07:47] dhaval_: sudo firefox from command line [07:47] emanux its under Third Party [07:47] nsadmin? [07:47] richardcavell, gksudo, but a very bad suggestion [07:47] dhaval_: you don't want to be logged in as root while surfing [07:47] okie i will see [07:47] Anish123, i would create a manual USB installation of Ubuntu with persistence [07:47] on the USB key [07:48] bazhang: well, I don't know why he wants to be root. What would you suggest? [07:48] Oh I can use Firefox. But I can't connect using that little network icon as root. Now if I'm downloading a torrent or something, [07:48] I will need an internet connection as root [07:48] richardcavell, find out what his problem is I would imagine first [07:48] dhaval_ Is there a reason you're running as root in the first place? [07:48] dhaval_, why [07:48] dhaval, being root is very much frowned upon. Bad thigns happen. [07:48] And please, why do people ask my why i want to access internet as root? I want to because I might need to. [07:48] OK [07:48] yes. Too little privileges as normal user. [07:48] it seems there is no medibuntu.org [07:48] I edited the sudoers file [07:48] dhaval_, because Ubuntu does not work that way [07:49] but still, I can't open /root [07:49] Anish123, ubuntuforums.org ubuntu USB persistent [07:49] dhaval, for good reason you can't. [07:49] hi [07:49] emanux, go to their site and get the instructions there [07:49] okie [07:49] emanux: add this repository. deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu jaunty partner [07:49] I know.

[07:51] just wget "parent directory"? [07:51] Anish123, let me get you a link [07:51] !usb | Anish123 [07:51] Anish123: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [07:51] there you go! :D [07:51] how easily change my mac adress? [07:52] okie installing acroread now [07:52] tnx :) [07:52] Lot of Indians here. Good to see some people using Linux. [07:52] thank you bazhang Will go there now. [07:52] Or a computer for that matter. [07:52] init 6 to go to kde 4.2 [07:52] tnx guys [07:52] jaunty is fast wow!!!!!!!!! [07:52] eth0-spam, can't understand you [07:52] sudo rm -f /boot/grub/menu.lst [07:53] emanux: Please send such a message in #ubuntu-offtopic. [07:53] " Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?" [07:53] ahh see [07:53] nsadmin?? [07:53] ok :) [07:53] dhaval_, use sudo [07:53] now this is why I think Ubuntu's user privileges are messed up. [07:53] Hmm [07:53] !sudo [07:53] sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [07:53] When I put my USB drive in, it shows me same options as CD- [07:54] yeah I am, I am. But still for a simple install, I shouldn' have to do this. [07:54] strange, my mouse is randomly jumping everytime something happenes [07:54] NEvermind [07:54] dhaval_ Its UNIX privs. Windows was a different beast and the reason viruses exist. [07:54] dhavel_ I shared your 'disdain' for having to type all kinds of extra stuff in, but I got used to it. No viruses or spyware for 4 years now. [07:55] how can i compile php5.3 for unbuntu? on repository is only 5.2.6 available [07:55] Ahhh good point. [07:55] nsadmin?? [07:55] again where is filezilla in jaunty? [07:55] Actually [07:55] Oooh I got an awesome point here! [07:55] what should be the path to install php ? on ubuntu? [07:55] emanux, yes [07:55] dhaval_ And with every iteration of Ubuntu having to "sudo" stuff gets easier since they started using packagekit instead of gksu [07:55] emanux, sudo apt-get install filezilla [07:55] IT says, just do an install and select USB drive as the medium! [07:55] That is a very good point. My last ubuntu Wubi got fcked up for no reason (black screen of death) [07:55] The I got a virus in Windows, because I neglected to install an antivirus [07:56] dhaval_, please watch the language [07:56] so i had to reinstall ubuntu [07:56] Sorry. [07:56] My question is: Why did I get the black screen of death? [07:56] What's a good TeX editor for linux? (Preferably without requiring gnome-everything as dependencies) [07:57] dhaval_: My question is: At which point exactly? [07:57] dhaval_ Running as root, as others have said, is "a very bad thing." not sure on the black screen of death [07:57] I don't know. One day I boot up. I try logging in and the pc freezes. [07:57] nsadmin?? [07:57] jason__: emacs? never used TeX :-\ [07:57] I stop gdm, login as root, restart and I get all blackness [07:57] ok guys [07:57] Rebooting NOW [07:58] dhaval_ Had you been regularly logging in as root? [07:58] hi [07:58] nsadmin: http://paste.ubuntu.com/220957/plain/ [07:59] Not really [07:59] I was hoping for something that helped out more - I suppose there might be a mode for emacs that does more for TeX editing than the default TeX mode. [07:59] I hadn't been regularily logging in! [07:59] Hello, have a slight issue with X... I can boot through recovery mode, and drop to a root shell, and then run startx, but doing so results in a mostly blank screen with some random lines of color at the top of the screen. [07:59] But I may have messed up X, while playing with compiz [07:59] jason__ do you need TeX or LaTeX? Are they any different? [07:59] i THINK the problem was with compiz, but I tried uninstalling it, and ntohing [08:00] jander99, the differences are minimal for what I'll be doing. [08:00] jason__: There's a vim-latexsuite package in the repos if you prefer vi [08:01] jason__ or were you looking for something with a better gui? [08:01] xtremeshredder: ok, that looks like your wired net driver... [08:02] ok [08:02] Hey jander, is there a nice pdf viewer that lets you put bookmarks? [08:02] The level of gui-ness isn't much concern - but, for example, a table for "What's the code for that darn symbol?!" was a nice feature of an editor I used in windows. But I'll try the emacs and vim TeX modes. Worst case, I can use TeXnic center, which I think has a linux version available. [08:02] maybe something Foxit? [08:03] xtremeshredder: what is your router? [08:03] jason__: there's an openoffice writer to latex converter too I dunno much about TeX though, good luck! [08:03] a linksys WRT54G [08:04] dhaval_ Not sure about bookmarks, but I've not had issue with Evince, and Acrobad Reader is available too [08:04] yeah, I'm downloading Acrobat [08:04] Gah, I can't imagine trying to get OO running on this computer. [08:04] But I'm not really a fan of it. [08:04] hey how do you open a bin file [08:04] xtremeshredder: ok, is it doing dhcp over the wire? [08:04] I have a slight issue with X... I can boot through recovery mode, and drop to a root shell, and then run startx, but doing so results in a mostly blank screen with some random lines of color at the top of the screen. [08:05] does it hand you addresses? [08:05] nsadmin: i don't understand what you're asking, sorry [08:05] Hey yeah, what do I do if I want to backup a specific application [08:05] Brando753, ./blah.bin or sh blah.bin [08:05] just to let you know i am not connected to my router right now [08:06] xtremeshredder: did you have to configure your windows for a specific IP address? or did you say "get IP address automatically"? [08:06] what are you connected to? [08:06] For example if i want to back up VLC because I might be reinstalling Ubuntu. what do I do? Do I have to back up the whole /usr folder? [08:06] get ip automatically [08:06] Heya guys [08:06] wi-fi in windows [08:06] Im currently booting Ubuntu 9.04 Live CD [08:06] Now, how do I make a Live USB? [08:06] oh, you're doing wifi right now? [08:06] dhaval_ no that isn't wise. If you reinstall/upgrade you might be dealing with other packages with different versions. [08:06] yes, on vista [08:07] Ahhh [08:07] dhaval_ Google for "backup list of installed packages ubuntu" and look around. Google really is your best friend. [08:07] yeah [08:07] you should have a text editor called nano on your ubuntu [08:07] thanks jander, You've been too much help.

[08:08] so what you're going to do as root, is edit the file /etc/network/interfaces [08:08] !backup [08:08] There are many ways to back your system up.

The problem is that it won't boot in my computer? can anyone help me how to make it boot [08:30] thank you [08:30] dhaval_: What do you mean? [08:30] !noroot | dhaval_ [08:30] dhaval_: We do not support having a root password set. See !root and !wfm for more information. [08:30] dhaval_: dhclient for dhcp works too [08:30] dhclient? OK i'll try that. [08:30] because you don't see it right now... could that be because you're not sure you want to go that route? [08:31] whattheazn: so you have burned the iso to a disk [08:31] nsadmin: it did not work, however, i did find when i did ifconfig again, i found an entry for eth0:avahi [08:31] yes [08:31] whattheazn: the iso has to be burnt in 'image' mode. You did that, right? [08:31] whattheazn: did it try to boot from the cd rom when you restarted? [08:31] sebsebseb: He obiviously already had root... [08:32] xtremeshredder: hmm. when you did ifconfig by itself, did it say anything about wlan0? [08:32] What other important packages should I install? [08:32] does the 2.29.6 kernel have write support for NTFS? [08:32] nsadmin: no [08:32] I'm going to get dpkg-repack [08:32] dhclient [08:32] and...? [08:32] tonii: Ubuntu has had read and write NTFS support since 7.10 [08:32] ok, so it doesn't look like the wireless driver is there. [08:32] !7.10 | tonii [08:32] tonii: Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) was the seventh release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: April 18th, 2009. See !eol and !upgrade for more details.

[08:33] i tried to install it via ndiswrapper and ndisgtk, but it has a .conf error or something [08:33] nsadmin: no [08:33] this is the only laptop i have [08:33] sebsebseb: is the rw support 100% safe? [08:33] tonii: yes [08:33] that sucks... means you have to reboot over and over until you find the problem [08:33] sebsebseb: nice, thanks for the quick answer :) [08:33] Why are my joysticks fubar? [08:34] tonii: only thing is sometimes if you do it to Windows and then boot up, it might want to run check disk, but other then that [08:34] tonii: no problem [08:34] plz any1 tell me which filesystem is fastest [08:34] but the modprobe went without problem? [08:34] sebsebseb: ok, good to know. === max is now known as Guest75740 [08:34] om26er: Ext4, but best to wait untill 9.10 realy for that one, when it becomes default [08:34] om26er: to what extent? read/write? page faults? raid configuration...? [08:34] whenever i say to modprobe, it has that error again, so i do not know if it works or not [08:35] the .conf ndiswrapper error [08:35] om26er: and there are other file systems that are fast etc, that can't just be used in Ubuntu [08:35] om26er depends on how the fs will be used, no fs is overall fastest [08:35] oh, so there was a problem when you did the modprobe [08:35] i am currently in init 1 and using irssi. how do i get the [08:35] om26er: ext3 has been very stable and quick for me on a software raid 5 using mdadm [08:35] yeah [08:35] oops [08:35] what was the gist of the error?

Well amarok doesnt have it itself, but the little plugins you can install additionally ... [09:19] amarok is a disaster [09:19] o ya, songbird has a lot of plugins and skins you can add [09:19] i'll look through that [09:19] EvRide: And since i stored a lot of lyrics already, i dont want to miss that feature [09:19] Gnea: Xchat-Gnome IRC Chat [09:19] I'm trying to get my eGalax Inc. touchscreen working. The cursor moves, but only within an 10px-horizontal stripe. Any ideas how to fix that?

I happen to have an empty 30Gb drive, could I install 8.04 on this do a "sudo dpkg --get-selections" on 7.10 and then point it to my home from 7.10 or should I install 8.04 on the empty drive and then copy my 7.10 home on it instead for safety??

[10:01] tgrinaker, which file upload manager [10:01] hi, how do i use uniq to strip out all the repeated lines from a file? there are several empty lines i'd like to remove [10:01] Setting menu at the top of x-chat wizzo50 [10:01] zetheroo, dont know if they have a hardy build for 1.0 but you can certainly check [10:01] It's the automated one in the top right hand part of the screne [10:02] tgrinaker, does it have a name? [10:02] magnetron: cat file.txt > uniq > newfile.txt ? [10:02] Package upgrades [10:02] bazhang: ok right [10:02] sinbox thankyou astounding how you found that answer ...may I ask how you did it [10:03] Slart: i obviously already tried that, i also tried with uniq -u [10:03] tgrinaker, what error are you getting specifically [10:03] magnetron: if you just want to remove empty lines you might be able to do that with sed or something instead [10:03] Bazhang: can't remember exactly, my hard drive space is full [10:03] jcmarini, I googled it ;-) [10:03] sinbox: I am talking about in Xchat-Gnome, not X-Chat [10:04] Slart: i'm just asking how to remove duplicate lines with uniq [10:04] tgrinaker, it says it is full but it is not? [10:04] Slart: magnetron: cat file.txt | sort | uniq > newfile.txt === JBauer is now known as Keiffer [10:04] losher: that doesn't remove the duplicate empty lines [10:05] what can I say but a big smile [10:05] oh sorry, I don't have x-chat gnome, but the folder is probably the same chekc in your home folder for .xchat-gnome (make sure you have hidden files enabled) [10:05] to wizzo50 ^^ [10:05] magnetron: sorry.. got the pipes mixed up.. cat file1 | uniq > newfile works on my system [10:05] Bazhang: I can't run skype, if I try open the internet browser I have to logon to each website again (before it remembered it all) and I have to log on to the wireless eachtime, again before it remember it automatically. Also in the ubuntu menu there is no longer an application menu [10:05] maybe it has something to do with "atitvout" + radeon driver ...because ati mobility x700 + ubuntu 9.04--->does not work with the fglrx driver?? [10:05] Bazhang: Can't run youtube either [10:05] Slart: and that removes *empty* lines as well? [10:06] magnetron: but it will only remove adjacent duplicate lines.. sort can be used to take care of that but it will leave the file sorted [10:06] tgrinaker, did these ever work? what version of Ubuntu [10:06] If 9.04 won't work, 8.10 might [10:06] oh they need to be *adjacent* too? [10:06] magnetron: empty duplicate lines, sure === Keiffer is now known as JBauer [10:07] sinbox: What? [10:07] gnea : same thing in vlc as well [10:07] magnetron: yes.. that's what uniq does.. removes duplicate adjacent lines.. it says so in the man page [10:07] magnetron: yes, the lines need to be adjacent to strip duplicates out. That's why you sort before uniq.... [10:08] Bazhang: Ubuntu 8.04 I think [10:08] oh sorry, I don't have x-chat gnome, but the folder is probably the same chekc in your home folder for the .xchat-gnome folder and there should be an xchatlogs folder in there with all your logs (make sure you have hidden files enabled) wizzo50 [10:08] Bazhang: Is there anyway to confirm, by checking on my system? [10:08] tgrinaker, pre-installed? you installed it? did it ever work at all? lsb_release -a for version in the terminal [10:08] Bazhang: Yes it is 8.04+ LTS [10:09] sinbox: It was a private chat with some instructions in it and I don't see it in there where your talking about. [10:09] Bazhang: Pre-installed by Dell with my mini 9, all worked fine until this week when I ran the package upgrade [10:09] sinbox: I see a bunch of other ones [10:10] tgrinaker, so the error is; the drive is full, when in fact it is not? [10:10] no one who has experience with a laptop connection via s-video? :-( [10:10] wizzo50, how did you save the private chat? [10:11] sinbox: I clicked on Discussion, then Save Transcript [10:11] wizzo50, if you have enabled logging they will be in the location that sinbox gave you [10:12] are you sure it is not in there? it would be called "network-name-nick-of-person" [10:12] help needed; I open games in fullscreen but after 10 min or so they would get to window mode. Any way to fix this? [10:13] insomen4o, what games? linux native, via wine, and if via wine which exact games [10:13] Bazhang: potentially that is correct, as I seem to be able to run most apps, but if I try open OPENOFFICE this error message comes up: "Openoffice.org could not save important internal information due to insufficient free disk space at the following location: /home/tarryn/.openoffice.org2/user/backup You will not be able to continue working with OPenOffice.org without allocating more free disk space at that location.

Should i turn off the scrsaver? [10:17] insomen4o, I have had that issue as well, would be worth a try in my opinion [10:17] 10x :) [10:17] sinbox: So xchat and xchat-Gnome is the same thing? [10:17] Bazhang: tiny 4gb Sold State [10:17] sinbox: I am just new to this stuff [10:18] tgrinaker, I have that issue with my eeepc 4GB ssd as well [10:18] Bazhang: Memory : 2048MB (1*2048) 533MHz DDR2 Dual Channel [10:18] Inspiron Mini 9 : N-Series Atom N270 (1.6GHz,533MHz,512KB) [10:19] Bazhang: Yeh it can't handle much, but I just use it for skype and internet (lastfm, gmail, facebook, youtube) and now it can't even run skype or youtube! [10:19] wizzo50, xchat-gnome is based on xchat, it looks like you don't have logging enabled in your preferences as it only has server logs in there, unfortunately I have no idea where xchat-gnome might have saved that conversation, you probably want to ask on the ubuntu forum for an answer if no one here knows [10:19] tgrinaker, one thing to consider would be to have a persistent usb drive, and run off that, or use a usb stick to access movies/music etc and leave hdd relatively empty [10:19] tgrinaker, right, because it cant cache the needed space for that [10:20] sinbox, ok [10:20] Bazhang: is there anyway i can clear out the hdd? some of these programs I will never use but don't want to kill anything! ON windows you would be able to do some kind of defrag? [10:20] sinbox, Thanks [10:20] tgrinaker, simpy sudo apt-remove on them [10:20] err simply [10:21] whoops [10:21] tgrinaker, ignore that last [10:21] tgrinaker, sudo apt-get remove [10:22] is there a way to backup a partition containing ubuntu and then put it back on the hard disc? [10:22] I mapped my Super_R key to right mouse button using xmodmap -e "keysym Super_R = Pointer_Button3". I was playing with Compiz Config and now my xmodmap doesn't work. What have I done wrong? [10:22] masterchild, home? [10:22] masterchild: absolutely [10:22] masterchild: of course [10:23] masterchild: If you want a block-level image, clonezilla. If you want a file-level image, grsync [10:23] Ping in good, too, IMHO. [10:23] *is [10:23] Bazhang: sorry simple terms please, female new ubuntu user here! :) [10:24] A System Update I did recently applied a feature that causes the mouse wheel to scroll trough desktops. How do I turn this off? [10:24] unapply the update? [10:25] Well, I'm sure it added some other good stuff too. I don't want to undo all of it. I'll look at what it did, though. [10:25] kholby: do you have compiz config manager installed? [10:25] hi [10:26] nsadmin : How do you unapply an already installed update ( or so) . [10:26] don't think so. Possible. [10:27] tgrinaker, iirc dell has some special repositories for software to make things like wireless work for that machine, and the install probably leaves you with a bit more than a GB of free space; if you kept your various, movies and music on a separate usb stick and left the home folder relatively empty , then it would likely eliminate some of your issues regarding space [10:27] kholby: Install compizconfig-settings-manager, run it, and check the settings of "Viewport Switch" plugin. [10:27] Blizzerand, you dont [10:27] will do, thanks [10:27] exit [10:28] bazhang : But nsadmin said that its possible [10:28] I doubt it. [10:28] bazhang: thanks, will get a bigger USB stick to help with that, and will try clear out anything I have! Thanks [10:28] nsadmin, you dont unapply an update [10:28] tgrinaker, you're welcome [10:32] kholby, try disabling the rotate cube function in ccsm [10:35] lol I wish I could use compiz but mine uses an old version of intel chip that doesn't support these features no the animations [10:41] hi 2 all [10:41] Evolution: Clicking Help > Contents: What file (name?) will this call?

[10:43] is any simple phrase which I can put in to terminal? [10:43] netstat [10:44] I found something like this netstat -an | grep "LISTEN " [10:44] is ok? [10:44] ok [10:44] chaunumber1 a;p [10:45] rkpisanu, I suppose when it show me that tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:2224 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN [10:45] yes the port listen is 2224 [10:45] port 2224 is open? Caouse there is no "open" description, but I suppose if it show any ports they are open, yes? [10:46] open for who ? [10:47] rkpisanu, I want to use soulseek/nicotine and I need to open port, for incomming and outcomming transfers [10:47] Hi. I'm trying to install Ubuntu Netbook Remix using a USB Stick. I've downloaded the jaunty img, used flashnul on the USB stick successfully and changed the boot order to go for the USB device first. However when it boots up and the USB installer should load, it's just a black screen with a white underline blinking, and the disks are all still etc. This is using one of the earlier Asus EEE PC [10:47] Is there another (windows based) usb-installation-maker program that I should try? [10:48] unetbootin lillis [10:48] thanks, will check that out. :) [10:48] hi, can anyone help me? I try to copy anything into my storage partition, which is ext2, and in ubuntu I get an error saying disk is full and it says 0 bytes free, but I know for a fact that I have 11gb left cause in windows 7 it shows, and i can copy and paste in windows 7..how do i fix this? === Blizzerand_ is now known as Blizzerand [10:48] K, I do not have CCSM installed, but the scroll wheel switches workspaces. I want to disable this feature, but without installing CCSM. Can it be done? [10:48] speedhunt3r, this is a wubi install, or a dual boot install [10:48] rkpisanu, "listen" means "open" ? [10:49] can someone help me.. i couldn't mount my dvd and dvdrw drive, so i ended up typing 'sudo mount /media/cdrom' and that seemed to work, but it gave some error like mounting in read only [10:49] telnet ip port to verify if a port is open [10:49] bazhang, dual boot.. and i can read from the partition just can't copy stuff into it [10:49] listen not means open [10:49] its a vcd, and i can open it fine in smplayer, but i cant open it in vlc [10:49] mornning all [10:49] has anyone here ever played Nexuiz? [10:49] kholby, sure, just set visual effects to none in appearances (tab) [10:49] and now im having problems with ejecting it... i press eject on the cdrom drive (real life) but ubuntu pops up an error saying i can't unmount [10:49] what the heck is with that [10:50] pressing the button tells the OS to eject? [10:50] but I like the other visual effects... [10:50] i m using a simple user account with no special privileges. I use su defaultubuntu_acct then do a sudo from this account in the shell. If I close the shell and try su defaultubuntu it asks for the password again which is good but from inside this if i did sudo it doesnt. [10:50] is my password getting cached someplace, or is this safe enough [10:50] sudo ufw allow 30842/tcp to open a port, kikokos [10:50] it says Unable to eject CD-ROM/DVD-ROM Drive [10:50] masterchild : Its totally cool [10:50] kholby, then you would need to install ccsm [10:50] any one I cant get the WIFI in Ubuntu remix to work.....any help? [10:50] rkpisanu, ah, ok I see, so "telnet IP port" is a commend ,but is my machine should I change Ip for my ip or another way?

There are heart icons, foot icons and "seal" icons. [10:56] glass_ : Have a look at the message I posted above [10:56] Folks, is there any way that I can tell whether Mouse Keys are turned on by default in Ubuntu? [10:56] Halabund: Hmm... The foot is the logo of DNOME Desktop, which Ubuntu uses. (Kubuntu uses KDE) [10:56] Halabund: er, GNOME [10:57] glass_, http://rkpisanu.altervista.org/doku.php?id=ubuntu_post_installazione and search wifi [10:57] ty I will try both [10:57] grawity: Yeah, that was the only obvious one :) I've no idea about the other two though === elrob_ is now known as elrob [10:58] * Dekko requires some assistance: I've been trying to install the Elementary OS theme in 9.04 without success. The theme doesn't show up in the theme selector regardless of if I drag and drop or use the .deb file provided.... very strange. [10:59] Dekko : Could you provide a link to that theme [10:59] Blizzerand: Of course. I am sorry wait one second. [11:00] Blizzerand: http://www.elementary-project.com/downloads.html [11:00] Also, ubuntu doesn't say anything about missing dependencies or otherwise, it just does not work. [11:01] Also there are all these different theme engines which I don't get... Emerald, Aurora, GTK .... whatnot.... [11:02] Dekko, the egtk one? [11:03] bazhang yes thats the one === Blizzerand is now known as Twittery [11:03] Dekko, I got it from gnome-look iirc, it works fine [11:04] But its in .zip format . Shouldn't it be converted to .tar.gz or something [11:04] Dekko, took two tries to install though [11:04] I install, and it puts the files on the system fine, but nothing shows up in theme selector.... [11:04] Anyone here uses maltego? [11:04] Dekko : Did you convert it into tar.gz [11:04] Dekko, unzip, grab tar.gz to theme manager, it will ask if you want to install choose yes === Twittery is now known as Blizzerand [11:04] bazhang: thats exactly how I did it. [11:05] Dekko, I got a no install the first time, clicked another theme, then tried again, and it gave an error but worked (oddly enough) [11:05] and my Ubuntu 9.04 is a relatively new install .... [11:06] very nice theme btw [11:06] Dekko : May be it has some errors, I guess [11:06] bazhang is there anything ELSE that needs to be installed for the GTK themes to work?? [11:07] Blizzerand: is there any way to fix this? I really want to run the complete elementary set of visuals :) [11:07] Dekko, it worked for me, but I had to drag it twice for some odd reason [11:07] Will try that now. [11:07] got an error of cannot overwrite same directory [11:08] Dekko : I didn't have errors and its quite nice [11:09] Blizzerand: I just don't get what the problem is. [11:09] Now when I drag-and-drop install it gives me a "Can't move directory over directory" error [11:10] They're stored in ~/.themes, try copying manually [11:10] hi, I've just installed kubuntu-desktop, but when I change the session to KDE, I'm still back at gnome [11:11] Dekko : Go to Appearance--> Customize. From the 1st tab of the dialogue box select eGTK and also from window border tab take eGTK and name that theme whatever you like [11:11] bazhang: Now here's a weird thing - I install the theme, it doesn't show up in the theme selector BUT when i go customize I can select the individual bits and pieces with no problem.... but as a custom theme not as a "theme" selectable in the selector .... what is missing??? [11:12] Dekko: Probably the theme. [11:12] Dekko, seems it is oddly written theme, but all the bits and pieces are fairly nice [11:12] bazhang: If you have a suggestion for something even more slick than this - let me know. [11:13] I think I'll jump back to old breathe theme [11:13] I think with Elementary it looks VERY nice. [11:13] breathe theme?? [11:13] Dekko, gnome-look.org highest rated has the most [11:14] Bazhang: Yep that looks NICE indeed (Breathe theme).... [11:14] hi, I've got a problem with gnome desktop on newly installed Ubuntu 9.04 netbook remix. Login screen appears fine but desktop has no icons or panels on it, and any windows I do manage to open have none of the close/minimize stuff on them [11:15] when i mount a hard drive using sudo mount why is it only modifiable by root? [11:15] saw some stuff last night about not being able to detect size / number of desktops but can't replicate that this morning [11:16] jun_ : Because root is the only superuser [11:17] join# ubuntu-de [11:17] join #ubuntu-de [11:17] Jassi /join #ubuntu-de [11:17] is there a way of resetting desktop back to defaults? [11:17] Blizzerand: Do you know if there is a software to edit the components of the theme? I would like to add another 'horizontal line' under the menus of windows .... only bad thing about this theme I think. [11:18] -- over the menus I meant [11:18] If you open up "Computer" for example then under the window title "Computer - File Browser" I think there should be another line to separate the menus from the window title.... [11:19] Dekko : sorry , you manually would have to edit the theme files I guess or you can easily customize with different bits ( you know what I mean) [11:20] hmm I asked some time ago, but I still cannot open port, iptables show me that is no rules for this port [11:20] any other ideas how to open some ports? [11:21] I tried sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 6881 -j ACCEPT and ufw allow ,but it doesnt work [11:21] itd : Everything on the desktop is customizable, so what went wrong [11:21] Blizzerand yes but hmmm I'll have to look at it :) [11:21] Also looked at Breathe, but all I get is an emerald file, how to install that?? [11:22] Blizzerand: last couple of things I did were to start the Dropbox daemon and to switch to the traditional desktop from the netbook one [11:23] Any one else getting system freeze with the recent pulse update on jaunty ?

[11:41] alguien en español? please [11:42] grawity: Well I only have one box so I can't port scan from an external box unless one of you do it through my modem [11:42] kikokos: you don't open a port, you put something on it.

[12:39] A more permanent way is to disable the loading of the PC speaker kernel module. Add 'blacklist pcspkr' to your /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist file, to blacklist and stop the module for loading at boot - this file does not exist, is it meant to be blacklist.conf? i'd just create it but the ubuntu docs do say *add*... [12:39] laeg: blacklist.conf sounds correct [12:39] EMKO1: your gateway is invalid for ETH0 given your netmask... is unreachable on interface [12:39] But I think my English is very poor [12:40] OK... your eth0 address is not within the network youspecifiied [12:40] johnliu: your english seems good, just try to explain what you want to do [12:40] Slart: ty [12:40] Aijse: ok i will try..have to leave now...thanks! :-) [12:40] laeg: you're welcome [12:40] i think ubuntu tweak should be added to official repos [12:40] sorry i dont understand what the means [12:41] !packaging > lazarus [12:41] lazarus, please see my private message [12:41] plus you have gateways on both interfaces [12:41] which one is the internal?

[12:43] what_if: notice he copy/pasted from the other interface [12:43] hi [12:43] in order to straighten this out we have to know what he intends [12:43] arg this is soo confusing sorry im that soo good with this stuff [12:43] bernardlychan: find the connection you want, then go to edit at the right hand side, then IPv4 settings, then change from DHCP to manual [12:44] after the newest updates my xserver won't start anymore. I reinstalled the NVIDIA drivers but still nothing. any help here? [12:44] thanks richardcavell [12:44] EMKO1: we have to know exactly how you want this to work first [12:45] richardcavell: would u know how to do this using kde? [12:45] one thing I'm not understanding [12:45] what im doing is making my ath0 internet connection share it to the eth0 so when i plug in my cable to my laptop it gets internet [12:45] jrib, before program lay themselfs in the bottom panel.. but they don't know.. how do i modify that back? [12:45] bernardlychan: lol. No. [12:45] kk. no worries. thanks. [12:45] it works fine but i have to type that ifconig command everytime i turn on the computer [12:45] is why do you not have a real IP? [12:45] Okay, it seems Nautilus doesn't launch when my Ubuntu (Jaunty netbook remix) starts, so the desktop etc doesn't display icons. I cant find any settings in nautilus for starting it with Gnome, so I wonder what I should do. Is there an easy auto-start solution? [12:45] nsadmin: Those _are_ "real" IPs too. [12:45] no, they're unroutable [12:46] Agat0n: right click -> add to panel -> window list [12:46] So? [12:46] so, I'm not understanding why [12:46] are there some easy to use photo scanner software for ubuntu ? i had tried to use ose one at one some time ago but it didn't appear too easy to use [12:46] Is it possible to create several Screen entries in the Serverlayout section of your xorg.conf, to get for example a tv and a normal screen working? [12:46] and that's equivalent to understanding what he wants [12:46] jrib, thanks alot for helpin me.. I've only been usin linux for three months and I enjoy every second of it. [12:47] nztal, I use Xsane, prety straight forward [12:47] brb systemreboot [12:47] EMKO1: then remove everything after the "address 192.168.0.1" line and try it. That much should work then [12:47] EMKO1: so your inside net is the wired net? [12:47] whats a inside net? [12:48] you're trying to share the internet right? [12:48] yes [12:48] ath0 is my internet its wireless [12:48] and you're getting the internet from wireless [12:48] right? [12:48] yes [12:48] yes [12:48] i need to installl the qcad-doc... i have the qcad installed, but no manual [12:48] and so that leaves the eth0, the wired. [12:49] what do you want to do with that? [12:49] yea [12:49] s it possible to create several Screen entries in the Serverlayout section of your xorg.conf, to get for example a tv and a normal screen working? [12:49] mostyl connect my laptop so i can grap files faster [12:49] How can I tell Ubuntu to always use Firefox to open html files that I double-click? [12:50] so all the computers getting the shared internet connect with wires, yes? [12:50] !defaultapp | diddy [12:50] diddy: To change the default application for a filetype in Nautilus, right-click on a file, select Properties -> Open With, and then change the setting. [12:50] the computer is a htpc has all my media on it and the wireless is to slow transfer files [12:50] Aijse: what card do you have?

[13:17] Jethro: Pops up with a dialog that asks you where you want to save it [13:17] so you have to find out what particular flavor your hda-intel is, and feed that information to the driver [13:17] like, whatever you get when you type groups, the other users get the same groups too?

[13:21] the font is small and blocky and some parts of the letters are bolder than the others and some letters are lower than the others. is that the default font for firefox? [13:21] Nothing more fine-grained? [13:21] ross_: You will soon learn that terminal is your best friend. It's in Application. [13:22] Itty: I don't know which one of those makes the difference. Why don't you just add them all to the new users and see if it makes the difference? [13:22] leaf_sheep: yes but what is the command to run alsamixer? [13:22] Jethro: No. The SS looks ugly. It's not what I have for sure. Did you check Fonts under Appearances? [13:22] what is ss? [13:22] ross_: The command "alsamixer" [13:22] elad`: Fine grained? The VIRT column shows you how much virtual memory it uses in total (real+swap) [13:22] screenshot [13:23] richardcavell: I will add them one by one and test after each, that way I will know what one fixes it if one does [13:23] Jethro: Screenshot. [13:23] and what font would you suggest [13:23] hi all [13:23] Itty: I was going to suggest add them all and then subtract them one at a time [13:23] is ext4 availible on 8.10?

[13:23] leaf_sheep: i see it but how do i know that it's working or not [13:24] is there any way to get a list of snd-hda-intel model names supported by the module? [13:24] * defrysk uses liberation sans and liberation mono for fixed width [13:24] richardcavell: does 8.10 offer ext4? [13:24] Given how much memory modern operating systems use, I'm surprised that we were even able to boot back when 64 Meg was standard [13:24] Hoss: No. They added it in 9.04 [13:24] -list [13:24] Hoss: not in the default installation [13:25] richardcavell: So with the alternative cd then? [13:25] Hoss: you need to upgrade the kernel among other things to get ext4 working [13:25] Jethro: In firefox, Edit -> Preferences -> [Content] pane. What font does it say it uses? (Mine has serif, which looks good) [13:25] Jethro: http://tinyurl.com/mj7psk === jopeli is now known as Crsim [13:25] Hoss: I don't understand what you mean. [13:25] leaf_sheep: ok i figure it out lol [13:25] larkin: the last one said what alsa version you have [13:25] I'm being told 0.8/2.0 gigabytes of memory are being used, but when I look at the processes, I can't see more than 10% of the memory being used. What can this mean? [13:26] ross_: Problem solved? :o [13:26] richardcavell: I added all the groups to one of the users and get the same error when connecting with ftp localhost [13:26] any 1 help config ogl for quake wars? [13:26] leaf-sheep we have the same. does wikipedia look bad for you? [13:27] Itty: can you connect if you sudo from that user account? [13:27] its not JUST wikipedia, but that one is the worst [13:27] Im missing the "host" command. how do I install this? i ts not in the synaptic repository [13:27] nsadmin: i don't understand why the version of driver is 1.0.18rc3 [13:27] while others are 1.0.20 [13:27] Jethro: No. It looks beautiful. Check your Firefox settings. Default & Colors should be Serif + 16. [13:27] richardcavell: nope [13:28] Itty: You installed openssh-server? [13:28] Itty: is your ftp daemon only accepting connections from certain users? [13:28] oh ok. i changed it to liberation sans in firefox and it looks great now. [13:28] sorry for the newbish queson.ti [13:29] as far as I know it should be accepting from all users with UID > 100 [13:29] hey, does anyone know how i can change what app gets launched when i insert a blank cd or dvd? [13:29] Jethro: Do you have font smoothing enabled? [13:29] except anonymous [13:29] elad`: If by 10% you mean the %MEM column, that shows % of total memory, including swap [13:29] not sure, where do i enable that? [13:29] at the moment, the 'CD/DVD Creator' is launched (must have chosen this at some point) [13:29] Jethro, liberation fonts are pretty good :) [13:29] Itty: I can't help you further, man. Good luck with it. [13:29] but i want to launch Brasero instead [13:29] ok thanks for trying [13:29] Jethro: If it's in GNOME, go to System -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Fonts. [13:29] the driver can be compiled separately from the kernel, but that's harder (you have to do some setup work for that). so, mostly the alsa drivers come in particular kernels [13:30] Tried System > Preferences > Preferred Applications, but it's not in there :( [13:30] geirha, oh, that explains it. So how do I see what's taking up so much of my physical memory? [13:30] Itty: How do you install for FTP access? openssh-server? [13:30] Jethro: Also, what version of Firefox do you have and how did you install it? (Updating it with Ubuntuzilla tends to mess up fonts.) [13:30] leaf-sheep: I am using pureftpd [13:30] i have 3.0 i cant figure out how to install 3.5 [13:30] not using SCP [13:31] Itty: Ahh I se. [13:32] Jethro: firefox-3.5 is in the repo as a separate package from firefox-3.0. [13:32] what is the apt-get command for 3.5? [13:32] Jethro: You can install 3.5 by either a) using the Ubuntuzilla tool (will always get the latest one, but needs some font configuration), or b) installing the firefox-3.5 package from official repositories - this will NOT overwrite 3.0 [13:32] nsdmin: you mean i have to compile the kernel ? [13:33] Jethro: The Ubuntu package is firefox-3.5. [13:33] ok thank you [13:33] Jethro: But like I just said, it will install as a separate program and will not overwrite the current 3.0 [13:33] elad`: No wait, the %MEM is indeed ammount of physical memory in use. But you only see the ones that use the most [13:34] has does pingin got voice funtion like using microphone [13:34] irvan: Pidgin does not support voice or video. [13:34] hi [13:34] elad`: ps, with the right option, can give you a list of all [13:34] I installed the inetutils-ftpd package http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/net/inetutils-ftpd and there's absolutely no instructions as to how it is installed or used, but I found the changelog http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/universe/i/inetutils/inetutils_1.6-1/changelog says that it uses inetutils-inetd script, however I have no such script installed on my system... does anyone use this ftpd or know how the package install [13:34] geirha, I'm looking at all those taking up more than ~0.0%, and it doesn't add up. [13:34] what is the content management system similar to drupal called [13:34] larkin: I hope not... but still want to know your exact chipset... since your sound chipset is on your mobo, need to know your exact motherboard brand, model and revision [13:34] zleap: Joomla? [13:34] thanks [13:34] i am sorting out the dclug wiki site, so i will add that [13:35] "the command apt-get install firefox-3.5" returned "could not find package" [13:35] so which application do u think i can use kpete [13:35] how do i use gnome to change the 'boot order'?? [13:35] Jethro: What version of Ubuntu are you using? [13:35] grawity: firefox-3.5 is firefox-3.5.1 -- People don't believe it and goes off using Ubuntuzilla tool. :( [13:35] leaf-sheep: huh?

[13:35] I have 2gb of physical memory, and top claims they're fully used. All I'm running is firefox, totem and compiz. How can this be? [13:35] Good morning.

[13:39] oh well that is kind of a bummer i cant use firefox 3.5 [13:39] leaf-sheep: thats one guy .. if you google theres more with the same issue .. sound ... everything else works perfectly [13:39] Jethro: You can [13:40] oh? [13:40] helloo [13:40] vegombrei: I'm sure that is same for everybody with same hardware specs. :) [13:40] vprm: yes, it's ubuntu desktop "system" [13:40] gkp.jk.1088@gmail.com [13:40] larkin: how did you get this computer? is it a name brand? or s custom build?

[13:41] Jethro: Go to mozilla.com and download it [13:41] leaf-sheep: yeah bro ... however i think i have the 64 bit system ... its abit different from theirs but i think the sound card must be same therefore i might get the same error [13:41] Jethro: But have you configured the font smoothing in GNOME? [13:41] I am having difficulties opening port 22 on a Netgear modem. What's the best #channel for me to talk about that in [13:41] Update Manager hangs whenever I click "Check" or "Install Updates". Didn't used to after first installed. Any help? [13:42] grawity yes i fix the font smoothing. it looks good now [13:42] Nehyx-> i can't find the config utility?? [13:42] Jethro: Okay, can you tell me what exact settings you use? Because the official Firefox version needs them to be configured elsewhere... [13:42] richardcavell i dont know how to install an app from a .gz file [13:42] Jethro: easy peasy [13:42] Jethro: have you downloaded it to your desktop? [13:42] vprm: home/user/.gnome2/* [13:42] nsadmin: ga ep45 ds3l [13:43] leaf-sheep: dude i havent installed ubuntu 64v on it as yet ... i just bought the computer ... came home checked out forums and they say there's a sound issue [13:43] richardcavell not yet one second [13:43] Jethro: you're downloading the correct version? [13:43] grawity i have all my fonts as liberation sans [13:43] Jethro: I meant the smoothing settings [13:43] richardcavell i will be downloading from the firefox website [13:44] leaf-sheep: i need ubuntu on that notebook but i need to know if i can get the sound to work or it will all go in vain [13:44] vegombrei: I'm looking.... [13:44] okay [13:44] hello, i'm having some trouble with the ubuntu livecd, it can't seem to enter X properly, i think it simply freezes (it ends on a black screen) [13:44] Jethro: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html [13:44] hi. i'd like to burn an iso, but brasero reports 'no available disk'. [13:45] i'm using the 9.04 ubuntu livecd version (32 bit), and i could get into X with knoppix livecd [13:45] i inserted an empty disk, and nothing appears in dmesg, /var/log/messages or /var/log/syslog [13:45] i am in the 'cdrom' group [13:45] vegombrei, try the live cd, first [13:45] nsadmin: it's realtek alc888 [13:45] what more info. need ? [13:45] richardcavell: Does that .tar.bz2 contain an installer, or is it just binaries? [13:45] K99Brain: downloading .... [13:45] grawity i have 96dpi sub pixel smothing and it looks pretty good [13:46] grawity: Mate, I dunno [13:46] Jethro: ...the exact settings, please? [13:46] is there any way to get some sort of reason why X freezes on the livecd? [13:47] leaf-sheep: i wonder why nobody ever responds to forums when their problem is fixed? [13:47] gajo_p: Does the rest freeze too? Can you open a virtual console? (Ctrl-Alt-F1) === ep is now known as Guest84745 [13:47] vegombrei: I always do, to put the answer into the logs [13:47] vegombrei: so the next person who searches for it will find the answer [13:47] grawity: nah, i tried, tried even killing X with ctrl alt backspace (not sure if that's enabled though) [13:47] richardcavell: exactly ... so people know what you did to fix it right [13:47] vegombrei: of course [13:48] grawity: it just freezes when it finishes loading up ubuntu [13:48] gajo_p: I think Ctrl-Alt-Backspace is now disabled due to "accidients" [13:48] vegombrei: Too many people post that "Help!" on Ubuntu forums. IRC -- You get better support. Interactive and all that. Forums are rather slow but it is useful for googling and find the solution. [13:48] richardcavell: all i see is a problem ... people posting many solutions .. and the guy with the problem never replies with which solution fixed the problem [13:48] l [13:48] grawity http://imagebin.org/56328 [13:48] Nehyx- [13:48] grawity that is my font settings window [13:49] Nehyx-> i can't find it... [13:49] grawity: oh wait, here it goes, i put the options with noacpi, acpi=off and similar stuff, all expect for that edd thing and "free software only", i can now see the mouse [13:49] leaf-sheep: you think i should take a chance and just install ... once installed ill get on irssi and mebbe you guys can help me then [13:49] grawity: and i think it just might load :P [13:49] richardcavell i have the newest version of firefox downloaded to my desktop how do i instlal it from the gz file? [13:49] Jethro: Thanks. Since the official Firefox doesn't seem to be using GNOME settings, so to get the same appearance you might need to download this file: http://sprunge.us/jdSV [13:50] From the desktop just double click on it and see if you can expand it from there [13:50] ok [13:50] richardcavell: It seems to have no installer, only the application itself. [13:50] grawity: Okay [13:50] grawity: Well, what choice does he have? If he's on an old distro, he can't use the repos [13:51] richardcavell: Ubuntuzilla? [13:51] grawity: can i assume that by choosing those options while booting the livecd, they will be automatically copied to grub's menu.lst when it's installed? [13:51] #pontianak [13:51] richardcavell it opened with archive manager and is only a folder called firefox [13:52] Jethro: Do you know how to manually install it [13:52] Jethro: http://ubuntuzilla.wiki.sourceforge.net/ [13:52] no [13:52] vegombrei: LiveCD. Run it and maybe we can help you getting your sound without the need to reboot. [13:52] sdf [13:52] vegombrei: It's up to you. I personally love linux more than Windows. :) [13:52] leaf-sheep: how? does the live cd have irssi? [13:53] Jethro: go to that link and see what you find. It might be safer, since you're a newbie [13:53] Update Manager hangs whenever I click "Check" or "Install Updates". Didn't used to after first installed. Any help? [13:53] vegombrei: It has Xchat, IIRC. [13:53] vegombrei: No. Probably not. You can still install it on LiveCD though and connect with us. [13:53] ok thanks [13:53] vegombrei: And I'm sure it has Pidgin (which isn't the best for IRC, but usable) [13:54] thanks guys [13:54] grawity: i'm afraid it doesn't have xchat [13:54] well, at least i can't seem to find it :P [13:54] hi guys [13:54] gajo_p: It still should have Pidgin. [13:54] yo [13:54] does kopete support microphone [13:54] you can install whatever you want on the livecd... [13:54] gajo_p: And you can install your packages too [13:54] speaking from backtrack pre release [13:55] grawity: yeh, i know, just saying [13:55] does anyone here use backtrack? [13:56] larkin: it's starting to look like you need to download drivers from realtek [13:56] does kopete support microphone [13:56] d3faz0r: This is not the right place to talk about backtrack. ;) [13:56] does kopete support microphone [13:57] does kopete support microphone [13:57] I have to leave, but take a look at this...

[13:58] leaf-sheep: dude there's one guy out there who successfully installed ubuntu on the same notebook .... only thing he says its 8.04 and not 9.10 [13:58] good [13:58] nsadmin: can use realtek driver directly ? [13:58] hold his nose then [13:58] lol [13:58] k3b seems to work [13:58] vegombrei: 8.04 LTS is very stable. If that works, that mean you can get it to work in 9.04 (if you prefer living on cutting edge) [13:59] leaf-sheep: i prefer living on the edge bro hehehe [14:00] what's that command is to run a .deb from terminal? [14:00] zetheroo: you don't run a .deb, you install it: sudo dpkg -i file.deb [14:00] zetheroo: sudo dpkg -i filename.deb [14:00] zetheroo, sudo dpkg -i file.deb [14:00] run? you can install, unpack, configure, remove, purge and get info on a .deb [14:00] dpkg --help [14:01] thanks [14:01] 4 answers in 15 seconds, lol [14:01] malang [14:02] buntu jomblomu [14:02] can someone tell me whats wrong here http://pastebin.com/m720f1133 [14:02] ruben [14:03] 35°C uuuphh [14:03] opps, wrong chan [14:03] ohir: it's hot here as well [14:04] No answers in 25 mins.

[14:08] ReedMace: maybe something to do with the hardware drivers for your Ethernet or Wireless hardware [14:08] jefinc: can do it via apt-get. Just wondering why Update Manager hangs. [14:08] ok, done [14:08] ReedMace, try closing synaptic add/remove and sudo apt-get update via terminal [14:08] thank you [14:08] see you [14:08] Zetheroo: not a connectivity issue - everything else works fine [14:08] cant install 9.04 from usb stick. wrote the iso to the stick using unetbootin and changed the boot order on my t61 laptop. what i get is "Boot error". what now?

I have just bought a Nikon D90 [14:11] zetheroo/k99Brain: that's what I have been doing. Just that Update Manager keeps coming up on screen to prompt for updates, but won't [14:11] The_Jag: gthumb [14:11] ReedMace: ignore Update manager [14:12] ReedMace: open Synaptic Package Manager and hit the Reload button [14:12] ReedMace: by the way ... is this a fresh install ?... [14:12] zetheroo: can't open synaptic manager - starts opening then closes iself [14:13] ReedMace: is this a fresh install? [14:13] zetheroo: not a fresh install - its 9.04 installed when it came out [14:13] question - how can it be that I install 9.04, wireless works great... then there are upgrades, it stops working - so I do another fresh install, it isn't working? === Arancaytar_ is now known as Arancaytar [14:14] ReedMace: open Terminal [14:14] ReedMace [14:14] hi all [14:14] ReedMace: sudo apt-get update [14:14] i need help with this recurrent problem http://picpaste.com/Screenshot-bidossessi___.png [14:14] zetheroo: ok [14:15] brodymcd: yes that sucks big time ... :-/ I have stuck with Ubuntu Hardy LTS for those reasons .. [14:15] A lot of themes have window borders of just 1 pixel. If you want to grab these borders to resize a window, you have to grab that single pixel. Can I change this? [14:16] can somebody tell me how can I add a path to the environment variable? [14:16] $PATH [14:16] hi [14:16] hello, anyone know what permissions you need to give mpd so that I can run it without just giving it root? (media playing daemon or whatnat) =) [14:16] !PATH [14:16] Sorry, I don't know anything about PATH [14:16] !$PATH [14:17] what kind of software do you use to manage updates on multiple servers? [14:17] Threetimes: No, but you can try this: Hold Alt, then right-click and drag the mouse. [14:17] bidossessi: do you use ipppd?

I'm so in over my head and desperate [14:17] try sudo apt-get remove ipppd [14:18] zetheroo: done update and upgrade with apt-get, restart required. [14:18] brodymcd: I don't know but i can have a quick look .... [14:18] ReedMace: good [14:19] ReedMace: reboot [14:19] Does anyone here have a fair amount of experience configuring mpd? trying to figure out a way not to run it as root =) [14:19] I've opened hostname (cd /etc) - sudo nano hostname [14:19] and it says .. ^0 to save [14:19] grawity: when I reght-click I see a menu with minimize, restore, etc...

Any suggestions? Trying to avoid Apple and iTunes completely... [14:20] Threetimes: Hm, try middle-click then. (I always get them confused) [14:20] zetheroo: yes, just can't connect.... spins forever then gives up [14:20] can somebody tell me how can I add a path to the environment variable $PATH? [14:20] grawity: that's it, thanks! [14:21] Threetimes: You can also move with the left button. [14:21] Threetimes, i get the same error [14:21] brodymcd: ok and any encyption? [14:21] * Threetimes changes window borders to something better looking again [14:21] zetheroo: no [14:21] bidossessi: try that with the --purge option [14:21] try sudo apt-get --purge remove ipppd [14:22] gangil: For a temporary addition, use: export PATH="$PATH:/new/directory" [14:22] Arancaytar a lot of people suggest banshee, may want to try it out. I'm working on getting mpd to work which is a pain but is supposed to be really awesome [14:22] brodymcd: so its an unsecure network ... [14:22] gangil: To make it permanent, add that command to your ~/.bashrc [14:22] zetheroo:> yes, unsecured [14:22] How do I bind Volume up and Volume down to another device in Gnome (using pulseaudio)? [14:22] Hi all ^^ [14:22] nyaa : have a look at the 'user' param. in /etc/mpd.conf [14:22] Whats a good program that plays my music, that can get the CD information (artist, song name)? [14:22] Threetimes, same error [14:23] nyaa: Thanks very much, I'll take a look [14:23] brodymcd: laptop? [14:23] rhythmbox obviosly or exaile [14:23] Whenever I receive DHCP, my computer is not auto setting up the name server. I always have to manually edit /etc/resolv.conf with a working nameserver. it is really really annoying. [14:23] any ideas? [14:24] Thanks grawity :) [14:24] bidossessi: search for makedev using synaptic, and install that. Then again try to remove ipppd. [14:24] zetheroo: dell inspiron 1526 lap [14:24] Slurpee: Open System -> Administration -> Network connections, choose your connection, and in the IPv4 tab select "DHCP (IP address only)". Then enter the DNS address you want. [14:24] Is there anyway to "always" root a commando? I don't want to have to write sudo when i use the -f in ping.. [14:25] Agat0n: you could make an alias in .bashrc [14:25] Agat0n: How about not using such a small interval instead? [14:25] nyaa: Actually I'm looking for a hardware device (ie. an iPod alternative), not software, though. Are you saying banshee can sync with most of these devices, so it doesn't matter what I buy? === soreau_ is now known as soreau [14:25] brodymcd: your sure that the hardware switch is on and that wireless is not disable in BIOS ? -- also are you running dual boot with Windows? [14:25] grawity, Naw, it's fun. [14:26] Agat0n: either "ping -fi 200", or alias ping="sudo ping" [14:26] arand, I'll try to make an alias, thanks for the help [14:26] Agat0n: add alias ping='sudo ping' to .bashrc [14:26] nyaa: I was considering a Cowon model due to their Ogg Vorbis support, but haven't yet researched beyond the Wikipedia "Comparison of portable players" page. [14:26] huhu [14:27] grawity: I don't think making an alias for ping might be such a good idea, rather "sping" for sudo ping or something,, Agat0n [14:27] awsfsdf [14:27] awsfsdf [14:27] awsfsdf [14:27] awsfsdf [14:27] Breakz: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [14:27] zetheroo: yes on, yes dual - baby needs fed... got to go - dangit! [14:27] arand, why wouldn't that be such a good idea? [14:27] brodymcd: ok [14:28] arand: Other than the -f option, I see nothing bad there. [14:28] How do I make exaile get the track names of the CD I'm currently listening to? [14:28] Agat0n: Well, if you'd want to use the "original" ping at any point... [14:28] arand, this removes the ability to use normal ping? [14:29] Arancaytar thats not what I'm saying exactly, I don't know much in that area. I've got an old thing called a MuVo that was fantastic, but I think only did mp3's. It's harder to find things for "unconventional" formats =( [14:29] Agat0n: well, everytime you write ping it will be interpreted as the alias command instead, so in a way, yes. [14:29] grawity, I just paste to anywhere in the bash.bashrc? ping='sudo ping' to .bashrc [14:29] has anyone tried to play Wizard 101 in linux? (via wine)? === thomas__ is now known as thOmmy1220 [14:30] good morn.. [14:30] Agat0n: Hence I usually come up with new names for aliases, so I can still use the original command for the original application... [14:30] Arancaytar you could probably change the formats of things you have to mp3 if necessary =( [14:31] usr, check out the winedb on winehq.org [14:31] usr13 ^ [14:31] hello [14:31] arand: But if I add ping='sudo ping' I don't change any names do I? [14:31] I just remove the "sudo" part [14:31] nyaa: Well, there are plenty of models that do support ogg, and mp3/ogg pretty much covers my library. :) [14:31] Right? [14:31] Arancaytar check this out http://handbrake.fr/?article=details [14:31] Agat0n: you can put an alias anywhere in .bashrc. alias ping='sudo ping' [14:32] hello all [14:32] why not put them in .bash_aliases ? [14:33] hello yellabs [14:33] Arancaytar it sounds like you know what you want much more than I do, I couldn't give a solid recommendation on an ogg player [14:33] so i have this themed gnome , but when i add an new user it defaults to the "normal" human theme, is there any way to set it that it uses my theme as system default? [14:33] nyaa: Well, thanks for your tips; the transcoder looks very interesting! [14:34] Agat0n: if you put down: alias ping='sudo ping' you will not be able to use ping _without_ sudo any longer, I guess... [14:34] yellabs: it'd probably involve messing around in /etc/skel/ [14:34] Skypilot I've looked at that, and I have commented it out to run as root, which works.. still I'd rather have it run without being root if able =/ [14:34] yellabs: or possibly in /etc/gconf actually, although don't do that by hand [14:35] arand, I think I've been misunderstood, what I wanted to do was.. basicly I don't want to login as sudo when using the -f in ping [14:35] zetheroo: back again, but still can't run synaptic package manager. Is it just the same as apt-get update? [14:35] hm, wich one? gconfig.xml.defaults? [14:35] Agat0n: ah... hmm [14:36] ReedMace: so in the terminal the update command works? [14:36] zetheroo: yes [14:37] arand, so ping='sudo ping' wouldn't do the trick? [14:37] ReedMace: ok in the Terminal do gksudo synaptic [14:38] zetheroo: it's started up! [14:38] Agat0n: no, that would just mean that everytime you write "ping" bash would execute "sudo ping" and always ask for password, even if you did *normal ping* [14:38] ReedMace: is it staying open? [14:39] zetheroo: yes [14:39] Oh, that would be so annoying. [14:39] ReedMace: ok ... now hit the reload button [14:39] hi all. i have a font in my system whose name is "serif", so some applications (such as chrome and firefox) think it's the default serif font for my desktop. How can i uninstall it or rename it? I don't know where to look to understand if it's installed for the os or for the single user. [14:39] Agat0n: Just edit sudoers to make mping a "NOPASSWD" command. [14:39] quatar-it: /usr/share/fonts and ~/.fonts [14:39] corrige: it's for all user [14:39] Agat0n: er, ping. [14:39] ok thanks === desti_T2 is now known as desti [14:39] zetheroo: worked and reloaded successfully [14:39] Agat0n: what you'd need is some way to excempt that specific command from needing password to execute... Dunno how to do that exactly... ah, there's your answer [14:40] I think grawity came with a good solution [14:40] ReedMace: ok ... I guess you can close it adn try to open it from the menu [14:41] zetheroo: still won't open from menu [14:41] ReedMace: very od ... maybe a bad command in the menu [14:41] zetheroo: starts opening administrative application, then closes [14:42] ReedMace: are there updates to be had? [14:42] zetheroo: no. all done. [14:42] Agat0n: grawity: So add "mping" as an alias in your .bashrc: "alias mping='ping -f'" and then add the no password to your sudoers file using command "visudo" (That's what you had in mind grawity?) [14:42] grawity: i delete it and then? should i refresh something? [14:42] I've got an issue....I just installed Jaunty on some random system and as soon as Ubuntu boots, it locks up. It doesn't mater if it's in gnome, xterm-failsafe or even straight terminal mode....any ideas what would cause this? [14:42] ReedMace: you can right-clcik on the Gnome menu and click on Edit menus [14:43] quatar-it: It refreshes automatically [14:43] thanks [14:43] arand: Just 'ping', not 'mping' [14:43] zetheroo: done [14:43] ReedMace: then find the menu entry for Synaptic Package Manager and right click on it and click on properties [14:43] Agat0n: Here would be the sudoers line for this - add using visudo: %admin ALL=(ALL) ALL, NOPASSWD: /bin/ping [14:44] ReedMace: tell me what the command is [14:44] reedmace, whats the exact issue here, can you click on synaptic and it doesn't open up, or is there no icon? [14:44] nyaa: its not opening from the menu [14:44] How come you guys are so helpful without whining? It's really approciated but not so common [14:44] zetheroo: gksu --description /usr/share/applications/synaptic.desktop /usr/sbin/synaptic [14:44] nyaa: opens fine from the terminal === aaron_ is now known as TiMiDo [14:45] nyaa: click on icon, starts opening, then stops. same for simple backup Config [14:45] ReedMace: I would just change that to gksu synaptic [14:45] where can i get torrents or rapidshare links for ebooks? [14:45] ReedMace: worked from the Terminal so it should work from here [14:45] Bixano: http://google.com/ [14:45] im looking for Interactive Computer Graphics: A Top-down Approach E. Angel [14:46] reedmace what mine has as a startup command (the icon when I move it to a panel to check) is: gksu --description /usr/share/applications/synaptic.desktop /usr/sbin/synaptic [14:46] ReedMace: unless gksu and gksudo are different in some way ... [14:46] zetheroo: they are but almost identical [14:46] sudo visudo sudoers and it replies usage visudo... [14:46] richardcavell: so it should be fine right? [14:46] Bixano: It is not allowed to discuss pirated software, ebooks and other illegal downloads here. [14:46] Agat0n: Just "sudo visudo" [14:47] ReedMace: how are you going? [14:47] zetheroo: same thing again - started but didn't finish loading then closed [14:47] ReedMace: anther way you can test out commands quickly is to press Alt + F2 and enter a command in the dialog ... [14:47] * dewdude runs memtest86 to see if it's memory locking up [14:48] ReedMace: ok .. try opening Alt + F2 [14:48] zetheroo: ok [14:48] ReedMace: and then try in there gksu synaptic [14:48] ReedMace: and click Run [14:49] zetheroo: same result [14:49] ReedMace: ok ... and now try gksudo synaptic and clcik Run [14:49] grawity, that worked just fine. Is it possible to remove the "sudo" infront of ping when using -f? [14:49] Btw, I really approciate your help [14:49] Agat0n: Other than making an alias or a function, no. === andi is now known as Guest12684 [14:49] zetheroo: same [14:50] Agat0n: But I don't see a problem with having alias ping="sudo ping" [14:50] ReedMace: if that does not work go back to the Terminal and try to start it again from there ... gksudo synaptic [14:50] ohh rite i forgot bout that [14:50] zetheroo: ok that's worked [14:51] ReedMace: in the terminal it worked? [14:51] zetheroo: yes [14:51] hi [14:51] ReedMace: wow ... ha ... this is very strange [14:52] bazhang: have any suggestions? [14:52] how can i move applets in my panel to the "system tray" like area on the left??? [14:52] I'm running an ubuntu server and I'm quite sure I've set it up to automatically run security updates. But for the paranoid, is there a simple way to check if all security updates have been installed? [14:52] Jethro: Right click on it. and Click Move [14:52] pluffsy: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [14:52] ReedMace, how were you using synaptic before? did you use the root account? [14:52] Jethro best bet is to check out system > preferences > main menu [14:52] ReedMace: I am a but stumped to be honest ... :-/ [14:53] zetheroo, seems his permissions are messed up [14:53] zetheroo: at least you got the synaptic manager up - and for that I am very grateful. Thanks [14:53] rski: and it will be obvious by the output what is security updates instead of other patches? [14:53] bazhang: why would it launch with the same command in Terminal but not through Alt+F2? [14:53] ReedMace, enabled root account? or did sudo synaptic? [14:53] pluffsy: no [14:54] where can I go for networking info? [14:54] richardcavell_: what info? [14:54] ReedMace: no worries [14:54] bazhang: did gksudo synaptic from Alt+F2 and Termical [14:54] rski: trying to allow someone to ssh to me over the Internet but it's not working [14:54] Works like a charm.. thanks alot guys ! [14:54] ReedMace, right, but prior to that did you sudo synaptic or log in via root/enable root account? [14:54] rski: in that case that doesn't really help me, right? maybe I could find some config file somewhere that could tell me if auto security updates is enabled? [14:55] ReedMace: bazhang: as well as gksu [14:55] Is ddrescue supposed to give up? [14:55] hello! i have installed nvidia display drivers, and now the desktop is "larger" than my screen .. i can move the mouse "outside" the view, .. how can I make it desktop size to my screen size? [14:55] hi there all [14:55] I have run sudo /etc/init.d/ssh start and the daemon is running. I've run nmap on myself and port 22 is open. I've run nmap on my modem and port 22 is open, among others. I can use the Internet just fine, as well as XChat etc. But a guy is trying to ssh to me and it's not working [14:56] does any1 have experience with installing nvidia drivers ? i have a 9600 gt btw [14:56] is there a way to make ubuntu look like netbook remix [14:56] bazhang: previously ran sudo apt-get [14:56] grawity, thanks alot for your help.. everything works great now [14:56] !netbook [14:56] Sorry, I don't know anything about netbook [14:56] images in firefox seem grainy so i assume its something with my graphics drivers [14:56] !nbr [14:56] Sorry, I don't know anything about nbr [14:56] BlastuR, look for nvidia settings under system, preferences [14:56] how can i move applets to my notification area? [14:56] richardcavell_: Set up a port forwarding from your router to your machine. [14:56] ReedMace, okay, and ever enable the root account? [14:56] bazhang: not sure how to do that [14:56] leaf-sheep: Actually, I just went and plugged my computer directly into the modem in order to remove it from the equation! [14:57] so I know it's not the router [14:57] richardcavell_: Heh. You gave him your direct IP address? [14:57] ReedMace, and gksudo synaptic works from alt f2 and terminal? [14:57] bazhang, do you really need root? as the first user has sudo [14:57] leaf-sheep: yep [14:57] how to make ubuntu look exactly like netbook remix without downloading the whole NBR [14:57] bazhang: no, nothing works from alt+F2 [14:57] richardcavell_: Try ping your own IP address. [14:57] nomasteryoda, no , just want to be sure ReedMace did not enable it and use synaptic with it [14:57] I just port scanned myself using the shields up website and port 22 is not open [14:58] leaf-sheep: 64 bytes from 210.50.43.182: icmp_seq=1 ttl=255 time=0.928 ms [14:58] How can i set a proxy globally [14:58] for all User [14:58] bazhang, ReedMace could also type 'sudo -s' then type synaptic then exit the terminal after he's done [14:58] ReedMace, hang on a second let me check something; in the meantime are there any upgrades? try sudo apt-get upgrade (and if so make sure to say Y) [14:59] richardcavell_: ... Shouldn't paste that in here. Oh well. :< [14:59] What programs do you guys use wine for? I only use it for Spotify [14:59] leaf-sheep: Mate, I WANT someone on here to log in to my box [14:59] any1 ? [14:59] bazhang: no more upgrades to do - all done [14:59] hello?? [14:59] nvidia drivers help pls [14:59] It's dynamic, anyway, it'll be gone tomorrow [15:00] Agat0n, i use it for extracting portableapps onto usb sticks for my windows users ... and lego digital designer and much more [15:00] richardcavell_: Username? [15:00] Cool [15:00] i've got this system that I've had memtest86 running on for 13 minutes thus far with no errors...but when i attempt to log in to ubuntu in any way/shape/form, it locks up [15:00] Agat0n, running IE is possible too even [15:00] haha [15:00] Agat0n: I used it for Notepad2, for IrfanView, for KeePass v1, for cmd.exe... [15:01] and some say firefox win32 is faster in wine than native linux version, but i would stay away from that if i could [15:01] Does anyone have an idea why I can't get Ubuntu to install on a clean, brand new 1 TB hdd? I keep getting an I/O error (same as I got when trying to install it on my old 250 GB hdd, and I thought it was the drive.... [15:01] write "whatis microsoft" in the terminal, that's funny =) === fanatic_ is now known as jparrott [15:01] Why do you use notepad2? [15:01] hey! [15:02] grawity@theory ~$ whatis microsoft [15:02] microsoft: nothing appropriate. [15:02] nomasteryoda: typing sudo -s, then synaptic in the terminal runs the program ok [15:02] I keep re-downloading the installer, but the hashes never match up, so I am completely lost [15:02] Nothing funny :/ [15:02] Agat0n, you get the same response for any invalid program name [15:02] i just wish ubuntu came with the full vim installed by default as its much nicer and color codes everything [15:02] it's nothing special [15:02] is there a way to get a truly portable grub/device.map config? let's say (hd0) is the same on every computer [15:02] hoeq: try to use bittorrent instead [15:02] er Josh1981 . === Elive_user29_en is now known as IndyGunFreak [15:02] nomasteryoda: Ubuntu is mostly for mortals - which prefer simpler things such as nano or gedit. [15:02] ReedMace, good ... i know sudo su - will not let it run as it does not work with X permissions [15:02] In openoffice impress 3.1, how can I set the default font and font size for text boxes? [15:02] dewrude, I know... but its still funny ain't it? [15:03] Agat0n: Micros~1 [15:03] :D [15:03] grawity: its for peopel that want it to "work" - I know plenty of real hardcore unix admins and compsci researchers that use it because it just lets them get on with what they want [15:03] grawity, lol but a good install of vim, which is much easier to use would make sense ... unless you needed the space on the live cd i suppose [15:03] nomasteryoda: so how do I get it to run from the menu? [15:03] so I wouldnt call them "mortals" [15:03] rski: So if I use BT I may get a better copy of the file? [15:04] Josh1981: no but it makes sure the file is good [15:04] nomasteryoda: For beginners, simple modeless text editors such as nano are much simpler. (Esc :wq isn't that obvious compared to nano's Ctrl-X, which is always displayed on screen.) [15:04] ReedMace, do you not get the authentication box after selecting in the menu? [15:04] oh ok [15:05] Josh1981: why would you want to dcc chat with me? [15:05] And I am on an AMD 64 X2, should I bother with the 64 bit file or stick to i386 [15:05] depends i guess [15:05] i went 64-bit just to go 64-bit [15:05] if you want to use FileZilla use 32bit version :+ [15:05] dewdude: make's sense [15:05] grawity, i know... just voicing my own desires for ubuntu ... simple is good for the new user, and Ubuntu has loads of 'em. [15:06] nomasteryoda: no - panel button appears saying starting administrative application, stays there for ~5 secs then vanishes. [15:06] like, i bought a CPU for this laptop just to run 64-bit [15:06] * dewdude goes back to trying to figure out why his new ubuntu install freezes every boot [15:06] josh1981: when you have more than ~3G memory, use 64-bit [15:06] ReedMace, weird... so you are the primary or first user [15:06] Josh1981; if you have more than 3gb of memory you might use 64bit [15:06] There used to be a lot of issues I would run into with flash on 64 bit.. minor things like that, but while I'm not all that technical, those seem to have mostly faded away. [15:06] ReedMace, can you open the Users and Groups app from Administration section? [15:07] The best is 32-bit OS on 64-bit CPU :] [15:07] I think I only have 2 GB of DDR1 [15:07] ReedMace, then click the unlock button .. let us know what happens [15:07] that's what i've got [15:07] there's no real reason to turn 64-bit other than to run it [15:07] nomasteryoda: if you do install full vim on ubu it's huge, I mean 28.6 MB!? I can see why the don't want it on the livecd. [15:07] don't you need 64 bit to address ram past ~3 gigs? [15:07] Anybody else had the same problem using Skype under Ubuntu: Skype starts fine, I can log in but I can't connect any calls or for example search for new people. I can't even call the echo123 user [15:07] nomasteryoda: dialog opens asking for password [15:08] It just calls and calls and then says "can't find user" [15:08] any1 - i need help - images in firefox are grainy [15:08] ubuntu work fin under 8.04 [15:08] is it graphics card realted ? help with troubleshooting pls [15:08] nyaa: If the hardware supports PAE, it can access all RAM you have - and most 32-bit OSes of today support that too. [15:08] arand, i agree with that ... but adding to the update list would be good once the system has a network connection and starts updates... just a thought [15:09] lillis: is it a sound issue? Have you tested sound in the options? [15:09] dewdude: have you tried bootchart? it may give a clue as to where its hanging during boot [15:09] grawity I'd find pae or not in the bios right? [15:09] hey, i was wondering how i could set up my wireless connection in a terminal, im not going to be using gnome or kde or xfce. so is there a useful documentation, maybe you could help too ? :) [15:09] ReedMace, that is a good sign... meaning your permissions are still working right. [15:09] So if I am not on BT, but BitLord, will it still check the file? [15:09] nyaa: I doubt it [15:09] did someone has expiriance with virtual box [15:09] danbhfive: testing sound in the options entails calling the Echo123 service, which I can't :/ But the mic works [15:09] if its a sound problem i get another error message [15:09] ReedMace, what if you add the synaptic icon to the desktop from the menu item? [15:09] legend2440, it boots to a login prompt....but after that, nada [15:09] lillis: no, in the options [15:10] ReedMace, then open it from the desktop icon? [15:10] danbhfive: "Make a test sound"? That works [15:10] Does anyone know much about ddrescue? [15:10] i just attempted to log in by bypassing gdm and using term....i got the usual junk pop up...no prompt [15:10] cursor is just blinking [15:10] grawity never that simple heh, I'll look it up later then so I can add the extra gig of ram that I won't even manage to use as cache =) [15:10] Hi, I have a laptop with a built-in web camera. I want to buy a better webcam and shoot time lapse videos with 'streamer'. How can I be sure that streamer will access the webcam on dev/video1. not video0 ? [15:10] i can't even install stuff [15:10] lillis: ah well, i dunno then [15:10] danbhfive :) thanks for trying [15:10] arooni: specify it? [15:10] nyaa: It might be in the output of dmesg [15:11] i'm just gonna trash the entire box [15:11] meaning i've gotta go find a spare [15:11] i have sound problem when i using virtual box for ubuntu [15:12] dio: last i checked, so did everyone else. [15:12] grawity pae doesn't show up at all when I grep it, and address doesn't show anything that makes sense, so I guess its a no go for me =) [15:12] what could ubuntu be doing different that windows isn't...because this box had windows running just fine on it [15:13] lillis; did you install skype from the medibuntu repo? [15:13] aha but work whit the xp not whit Windows 7, i run all at the same time [15:13] nomasteryoda: same thing - panel icon followed by nothing! [15:13] nyaa: grep -i 'physical address extension' [15:13] but i can't even manage to log in with ubuntu for any length of time [15:13] ReedMace, ok ... [15:13] lillis: I just tested skype, so it works on 9.04. If you think there might be some sort of sound issue, I would google for PulseAudio perfect setup [15:13] ReedMace, what about simply typing synaptic in the terminal [15:13] dio: 7 is more resource intensive and does sound differently. Win2k gave me sound issues. [15:13] dewdude: What could you be doing for your Ubuntu? ... Because Ubuntu is running just fine without you. :) [15:13] grawity, nothing at all for that one [15:13] dude, not funny [15:14] right now i have no file server, meaning all my media is trapped in a useless box [15:14] can I install programs on an external harddisk, how can I even chose the installation path in ubuntu??? [15:14] lillis; http://www.ubuntugeek.com/sound-solutions-for-ubuntu-904-jaunty-users.html [15:14] what is the /dev directory for? [15:14] thanks dewdude [15:14] Hi, I have a laptop with a built-in web camera. I want to buy a better webcam and shoot time lapse videos with 'streamer'. How can I be sure that streamer will access the webcam on dev/video1. not video0 ? [15:14] how can i set up my wireless connection through terminal .? [15:14] bazghang: that opens the manager, but not with administrative privileges [15:14] Farewell lads, cya tonight or tomorrow [15:15] gnubie: thank you, will check [15:15] ReedMace, no errors at all? [15:15] lillis; worked for me [15:15] rootcut: most likely there is a input choice in one of the menus [15:15] bazhang: right [15:15] UnderSampled: /dev contains device nodes - for example, /dev/fd0 points to the floppy disk drive, and /dev/hda is the hard disk. [15:16] grawity, I found a better way, grep flags /proc/cpuinfo shows a pae flag [15:16] nyaa: And is it on? [15:16] gnubie: did you have the same skype issue? [15:16] nyaa: Ah, wait. D'oh [15:16] grawity: so then the /media directory is for automatically mounted drives, while the /dev directory is for all devices, regardless of whether or not they are being used/mounted? [15:17] grawity lol yeah its just a flag, I'm seeing if there's anything more indicative though in there [15:17] UnderSampled: /dev is for devices. If you opened /dev/sda1 you could read the raw bytes from the first partition of sda. [15:17] nomasteryoda, hmm, regardless of what resolution I pick, it seems like the desktop is too large for my screen [15:17] UnderSampled: /media is for mounted filesystems. [15:17] grawity but I guess it means it has to support it [15:17] my screen is a 1080p LCD tv, and ubuntu correctly detects this oevr HDMI [15:18] lillis; somewhat the same. I install skype from the medibuntu repo, seems to be a safe way to go. [15:18] ReedMace, that is exceedingly odd; your permissions seem fine, and it does run updates and upgrades, could be you are experiencing a bug with synaptic [15:18] I need help with ndiswrapper and wireless on Jaunty. I've set up a D-link usb wireless card with ndiswrapper according to instructions I found here http://dsandler.org/wp/archives/2007/06/27/ubuntu-dwl-g120 and I can get online with it when I'm finished. Thereafter, however, if I reboot with the card plugged in, it hangs at the ubuntu splash screen and I'm forced to unplug the card and hold the power button to shut down. If I [15:18] ReedMace, bazhang lets try a radical approach ... switch to tty1 - ctl-alt-F1 ... login as user then remove the ~/.Xauthority and ~/.ICEauthority files then type 'sudo -s' followed by /etc/init.d/gdm restart [15:19] ReedMace, then login normally [15:19] if you try to mount hard drive that have windows on it and you cant mount it,it would give you mesage that it can be mount becouse windows was not shut down you need to ge the drive and put it back on the machine started windows boot up wait to start and shut it down,that you mount on linux bow as a second drive [15:19] ReedMace, do you have all the repos enabled? could we take a look at your sources.list [15:19] nomasteryoda, perhaps, but I spotted a potential in synaptic that he may have [15:19] bazhang, ok... [15:19] grawity: is there a way to determine which files are corrupt? [15:20] BlastuR, what resolution is your monitor? [15:20] hello, im having some difficulties with my sound on HP 6735s laptop, im using ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty [15:20] UnderSampled: What do you mean by that? [15:20] "sudo cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdf crypty" gives: "Command failed: Can not access device" on ubuntu9.04. Works fine on 8.04, what is causing this? [15:21] ReedMace, cat /etc/apt/sources.list ---> paste.ubuntu.com and give us the url [15:21] i added options snd-hda-intel model=laptop and sound works perfectly on speakers / headphones, but whenever i connect the headphones.. the sound from the speakers doesnt stop. [15:21] reedmace do you have another package manager open, like add/remove programs, or somehow apt-get whatever from the terminal? [15:21] Networking gurus, please look at http://imagebin.ca/view/6dD_10FU.html and tell me what's wrong with my port forwarding. [15:21] grawity: I have a badly scratched cd that I am trying to recover, I would like to try it in a different cd drive, but I don't know which files to look for to see if they a readable on that different drive [15:21] any idea how to make the sound from the speakers stop whenever i connect my headphones? [15:22] drazter, you may have to manually mute the speaker output from the pulseaudio volume manager [15:22] drazter, or disable simultaneous output option [15:22] drazter if thats the case in many laptops etc the main volume is labelled "front", so you can mute that and the headset still works [15:24] undersample buy skipdoctor scrach repair device [15:25] I installed 9.04 but I no longer have support for the native resolution [15:25] how can I get that back? [15:25] nomasteryoda: I got lost there - how do I get back from tty? just had to reboot [15:25] tehbaut: [15:25] /etc/x11/xogr.conf [15:25] xorg.conf [15:25] sorry [15:25] you should have a few resolutions there [15:25] dio_, there is also an app for that... well for recovery of cd data that did not even write complete [15:25] like "1024x768" "800x600" [15:25] so put a "yourresolution" [15:25] http://www.digitalinnovations.com/fix-scratched-discs/skipdr-premier-disc-repair-system.html [15:25] jbk`, X11 not x11 [15:25] ah, ok [15:25] ReedMace: Ctrl-Alt-F7 brings you abck to X. [15:25] back* [15:25] then X11, sorry [15:25] :) [15:25] ReedMace, sorry about that ... ctrl-alt-F7 [15:26] ReedMace, did you try synaptic from menu now? [15:26] grawity: nice reflex ;) [15:26] how do I change my display name in pidgin (I run jabber/xmpp) ? I can't seem to find it [15:27] i had star wars game cd only think was to use skip doctor , [15:27] hello [15:27] nomasteryoda: what do I need to do again in tty? I didn't realise I would lose the windows and didn't make a not of commands etc [15:27] Trijntje: ever tried usin gSSH over dialup? [15:27] ReedMace: [15:27] download irssi [15:27] it's a text-only irc client [15:27] and you can run it even in tty [15:27] jbk`: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [15:27] so it might work for you, since you can use f1-f6 [15:27] any ideas as to why jaunty suddenly lost ethernet card? happened after reboot since yesterday, can't remember certanly if autoupdate did anything then [15:27] ReedMace, did you try the synaptic even after just rebooting? ...

[16:12] is thee anything wrong with running 32 bit ubuntu on a athlonx system with 2GB ram [16:12] andyL, no [16:12] ok cool [16:13] DFarmer_: What type of system do you have [16:13] does 9.04 have better support for wpa2 wireless connections (with the network manager i mean)? [16:13] ram < 4GB,nothing wrong [16:13] DFarmer_ try looking at CPU frequency scaling [16:13] I know this is a n00b question but how do you shutdown a Ubuntu Server [16:13] andyL the 64 bit on guy in starbucks will look at you as if you were less than a person [16:13] Hey. o [16:13] bazhang: not those menues: I'm missing the "Applications", "places", and "System" menues at the top lefthand side of the screen. I am also missing the ubuntu logo in that extreme corner. [16:13] J2daosh, you may wish to try the livecd before upgrading [16:13] >bazhang - i have very grainy graphics/flash video firefox [16:13] os* [16:13] CyberAspie: ssh in and "sudo shutdown -h now" [16:13] and where is the sources list for 9.04? 8.10 used to have something in here like easysources or something [16:13] leaf-sheep, ah ha [16:13] abyrne55: On old Packard Bell iXtreme desktop, single core Celeron [16:13] thank you [16:14] nah, i dont care enough about compiz to not upgrade [16:14] I'm having a hell of a lot of trouble getting a static IP address in Jaunty, what the hell is wrong with the GUI? [16:14] CyberAspire: type sudo shutdown now [16:14] jophish: How do I do that? [16:14] elexodus: use alt+F1 and it opens a menu with each of those [16:14] i need better support for my hardware [16:14] ReedMace1: sudo not working correctly for Admin apps? [16:14] weren't people running compiz on 32 meg graphics cards? [16:14] elexodus, the gnome menu? that is in there [16:14] DFarmer_: Ehh. I think you just need to buy a better fan [16:14] elexodus: alternatively, add 'Main Menu' to the panel [16:14] BB82, hard to say, you could edit it manually [16:14] nyaa: i was :P [16:14] DFarmer_, http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=ubuntu+cpu+frequency+scaling&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=com.ubuntu:en-GB:unofficial&client=firefox-a [16:14] abyrne55: Ah, okay [16:15] jophish: Cheers :d [16:15] * :D [16:15] Fougner, i've done that several times and it always stuffs up [16:15] BB82: ubuntu was always retardedly complex about setting up static IP [16:15] BB82, stuffs up? [16:15] Fougner, doesn't work [16:15] DFarmer_, right click on a desktop panel, and click add to panel [16:15] uhm, that's really weird.. how do you do? [16:15] then select the cpu scaling applet [16:15] BB82: if you are going to edit the interfaces file I think you have to disable network-manager [16:15] uh where's info located? [16:15] i mean [16:16] uh... wait [16:16] Hey, what's the best window manager. I like gnome, but it's way too slow. [16:16] what th0r said, it's like you can't use GUI to set up a static ip [16:16] bobert: try lxde, xfce or even blackbox or it's derivatives open/flux box [16:16] bobert: There are no such thing as best. [16:16] th0r, yeah, actually remember me from before? i tried that then edited everything manually [16:16] BB82: yeah....we were working on this yesterday, right? [16:17] TheStarLion: That did it. Hoiw do I reallign it the way it was? [16:17] didn't work though, it just stuffed NM beyond repair and i needed to reinstall [16:17] i was also helping him yesterday [16:17] TheStarLion: XFCE's nice, but not much faster in my experience. Haven't heard of lxde before, though. I'll that. Thannks [16:17] elexodus: right click on it, and select move, then whenever you move the mouse, it'll move with it, just click again to stop moving it [16:17] gajo__p, do you have a static IP up? [16:17] BB82: well, if you are going to need a static ip you might as well uninstall nm....it won't work with static ip [16:17] bazhang: I read that, but since i don't have any computer running ubuntu, how will I manage to do that? [16:18] BB82: sorry, the PCs i have it set up on are using a different distro, just using dynamic ip on ubuntu [16:18] TheStarLion: Awesome, Thanks [16:18] BB82: and did you edit that rc file as well...the last link I sent you yesterday mentioned having to do that also [16:18] Ridpojken, no cd drive in that computer? usb the only option? [16:18] hey all [16:18] I am using Ubuntu 9.0.4 and I have enabled the 'suspend' option under the screensaver. However, whenever I try to start my machine back up from 'suspend' all I get is the desktop background and the mouse. No other icons or menus so I have to hard-reset it. Any ideas on how to make this work correctly? Thanks! [16:18] BB82: i do remember that googling gave me decent results, though i had to read several guides and get a bit of information from each [16:18] th0r, yeah i did that once too the problem is that when i got rid of NM completely i couldn't connect again [16:18] should keytouch be working on (k)ubuntu 9.04 ? [16:18] nacrotek: using a laptop? [16:19] and then couldn't install anything that could get the PC working again [16:19] TheStarLion: No, desktop [16:19] bazhang: I've got one, but since i tested it with fedora earlier, it was sooo slow with the cd, usb was much more faster [16:19] nacrotek: I think it might be a power issue then, or possibly the bios [16:19] nacrotek: don't hold me to that though [16:19] BB82: yeah, I had all sorts of problems with ubuntu and static ip. Finally gave up, will use suse if I need static in the future [16:19] bazhang: But i can burn something if it's neccesary [16:19] Ridpojken, okay, and the unetbootin is not working? or you just wish to avoid gnome [16:19] TheStarLion: Okay, I think I recall I had to disable some ACPI option when I installed, perhaps that's the cause. [16:20] gajo__p, getting it up on Arch was easy, now on Ubuntu it's really hard, it's been 3 days going on 4 now [16:20] i downloaded the nvidia linux driver from the nvidia page, installed it and now when i boot it says no screens found [16:20] BB82: well, yes, arch has pretty much the best config there is as far as linux distros are concerned, though it sorta lacks support in certain areas [16:20] th0r, wow is it that bad? I heard several versions ago it was working fine, now they've runied it [16:20] i had the nvidia-glx before, which didnt seem to support 3D hardware acceleration [16:21] anyone care to help me, i can't ssh into my box even knowing host.allow on the box has the ip address? [16:21] Is there any problem with 'rm -f /var/cache/apt/archives/*' ? [16:21] bazhang: the problem is, when i'm booting up on the cd i get the desktop enviroment and everything, but when i click the "Install" button nothing happens. The same happens with Fedora! [16:21] hi everyone [16:21] BB82: when they went to network-mangler it screwed it all up....up to that point ubuntu was no harder than suse [16:21] gajo__p, well kinda, the Wikis are very well written most the time so i found that just folowing those did most of the work, sometimes i'd read other peoples posts and get all i needed [16:21] smtp and google mail, what is the best app for handling this situation esmtp or msmtp or postfix or something else? [16:21] Ridpojken, you want to boot from a live cd? [16:22] oi [16:22] Fougner: I can do that, but it just won't install to my HDD [16:22] howcome my mute button doesnt work ? the notifier shows up. but no cake :) [16:22] ahz: sudo apt-get clean does same thing [16:22] Ridpojken, that is odd, not much of an unetbootin expert here; if you tried with an iso I would be much more of help [16:22] mute button on my keyboard that is [16:22] th0r, is there a way to file a bug for it? [16:22] did they also break the GUI update manager in the newest ubuntu? it's clogging up all the resources and simply won't shut down/upgrade stuff [16:22] what is the unetbootin question? [16:22] Ridpojken, tried the "install ubuntu" option from the live cd? not "try ubuntu ..." [16:22] legend2440: If it is identical, then I prefer to use the equivalent of 'rm' because I am deleting files from an external program and want to count the size [16:23] B882 are you still at the troubleshooting phase of the whole static ip thing or do you want some quick help from a guy with the qualifications of 5 people that are all 1/6 as good as me [16:23] BB82: I am sure there is over at ubuntu.com, but I haven't done any [16:23] r3l1c, wont install once it reaches desktop Ridpojken has this issue [16:23] I need help =/, I had to reinstall both my /boot and / partitions.. I kept the existing /home partition and now am having trouble accessing my data because I used ecryptfs previously. Can anyone help?? [16:23] bazhang: since i've tried the same with fedora, i don't think that will work [16:23] Fougner: No, is there any way to load up that from a usb stick? [16:24] Ridpojken, sure, what OS do you have accessible at the moment? [16:24] A crached windows =) [16:24] Time for ubuntu noob kwerstion? [16:24] Ridpojken, accessible or not? [16:24] Fougner: So, none =) [16:24] th0r, it's very upsetting that a Linux distro can be bad at any form of networking it's embarrassing actually [16:24] ahz: problem with that rm command is it will remove the lock file and the dir called partial. not sure if that will cause problems or they will be recreated [16:24] Fougner: Not, thats why i'm changing to linux [16:25] BB82:I agree, but what are you gonna do? They went to nm because too many ubuntu users can't edit the interfaces file [16:25] is anybody using nvidia driver 180.55 in jaunty ? anybody know how to gwt it ? [16:25] I'm on Ubuntu Netbook Remix. (Actually Jolicloud) and I am trying to find the .mozilla folder to edit the profiles.ini file [16:25] Ridpojken, you have a ubuntu live-cd right? [16:25] SandGorgon, the one from hardware drivers? [16:25] th0r: at least they should make the nm as usable as the windows xp one... it shouldn't be that hard [16:25] Fougner: Jupp [16:25] legend2440: OK, I can not delete if the lock file exists [16:25] Ridpojken, you checked the cd from errors and so on? [16:26] MikeonTV3: its not in /home/username ? [16:26] Fougner: Yes.. [16:26] gajo__p: agreed...nm still isn't ready for prime time, but you can't convince the gods of that [16:26] Ridpojken, and you have tried with the "install ubuntu" option? [16:26] not all of the unetbootin systems are installable... [16:26] Fougner: No [16:26] bazhang, i have stock 180.44 - it is the .55 variant that i am interested in - u can check the exact version in system - Admin - ncvidia x server settings [16:26] Fougner: Maybe i should burn out a cd [16:27] but you can still boot into the live cd and burn a cd [16:27] Ridpojken, a new one? =) [16:27] BB82: can't you just set /etc/network/interfaces to use static ip? [16:27] you can unetbootin to an internal hd as well [16:27] how to check if the graphic driver is installed correctly? [16:27] Ridpojken, try the "install ubuntu" option. [16:27] Fougner: I haven't got one earlier, i've tried to do it over usb. Save the enviroment you know =) [16:28] * Ridpojken is getting a CD-r disc [16:28] Ubuntu n00b, 8.04, can't LOWER resolution, stuck at 1280x1024 [16:28] alle1: have you found displays?

I want to upgrade mine, but I also don't want to lose wireless, since both usb port and ethernet port are dead, and if wireless stops... its effectively an elaborate paperweight [16:30] .mozilla i think [16:30] went to system/preferences/screen resolution detects gateway 200 18" [16:31] Hey, im looking to put a already coded php paypal order form into the sidebar of my html page.

Also google auto reconfigure xorg [16:39] Are there known issues with luks on ubuntu 9.04? [16:39] hi, I've installed linux and I'm about to install window so its dual-boot.

[16:39] ttbs_412: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=236093 [16:40] ok, I will google that... [16:40] richardcavell: The live DVD contains all those packages? [16:40] quidnunc: it fits on a CD, so it's really a live CD [16:40] rioch: reinstall grub from cd afterwards [16:40] quidnunc: and yes it odes [16:40] does [16:40] rioch: google has tons of information available .... consider running windows from virtualbox in seemless mode [16:40] richardcavell: There is a live DVD.

[16:41] quidnunc: the live dvd is more used for alternate languages [16:41] question: in terms of say ifconfig, whats the difference between a network and a gateway? [16:41] TheStarLion: Does it have valgrind and GCC? [16:42] gateway I believe is your path to the internet [16:42] about virtual maquine with virtualbox, download the virtualbox of the web site, recomend version 3.02 [16:42] quidnunc: is this it? http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/ubuntu-standard [16:42] network would be behind the internet... home work local [16:42] quidnunc: not sure on valgrind, but GCC I've always had to download via apt after any install [16:42] i'm having a bit trouble understanding the output of ip6tables-save -c on my router: i see the line: :OUTPUT ACCEPT [97038005:104874122202] does that mean my router has sent out about 100 gigs of IPv6 traffic? or is that the total of my clients? and also, does that count only openened TCP6/UDP6 connections or also lower level stuff like ICMP6? because if it's really been outputting 100 gigs of IPv6, that's a red flag [16:42] rootlinuxusr, my ISP DNS server is slowly, so i want to install a dns server. Is it better for me? :P [16:42] trinium: Why not just 'sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose' [16:42] gateway is 192.168.1.1 is the port of enlace [16:42] trinium: Easier imo [16:42] where can i access the default gateway service under ubuntu?

I'm the one asking. [16:44] FrankQC: emesene [16:44] help [16:44] quidnunc: not part of the default install, to my knowledge. It *might* be on the dvd, all I know is that the dvd holds all the alternate languages, I'm not certain if that's the only difference [16:44] depends if it's called ubuntu standard [16:44] wbc: sudo apt-get remove emesene -y; sudo apt-get autoremove -y [16:44] quidnunc: in any case, why do you need them installed by default, is there a problem of using apt post install to get them? [16:44] apt-get --purge = I think [16:44] FrankQC: Does that removes the conf files too? [16:44] virtualbox 3.02 install is easy with install.deb double click :D [16:44] there's ubuntu minimal, ubuntu mid, ubuntu netbook remix, and others [16:44] BB82: ahhh.... i see. luckily i didn't yet.... thank you for that precious information, then :D [16:45] wbc: system wide conf files yes; the ones in your home folder you have to remove by hand [16:45] wbc: That's what autoremove does. It removes all the config files and the 'left overs' of removed programs [16:45] TheStarLion: Yes. I don't have a partition or extra drive to install it on. I need to run from the live CD. [16:45] anyone here using an ati radeon hd4850 with their ubuntu hardy? [16:45] quidnunc: So I'm assuming that your DVD is ubuntu-standard [16:45] hey all [16:45] rootlinuxusr, now i think that open dns is better :D [16:45] FrankQC: I didn't know it did that for removed I thought it was for extra installation files.. neat [16:45] wbc: Go in your home folder and type like... "ls -a", then look for ".emesene" (or equiv), then "rm -Rf .emesene -y" [16:45] can someone help me setting up/correcting the nvidia (X) driver? [16:45] quidnunc: I think you might want to try a USB install that you can install extra packages from, if your computer supports USB booting [16:45] richardcavell: Dunno. Are there different ones?

It really doesn't make any sense for rm -rf [16:46] quidnunc: they should do, they did when I had to use a USB install [16:46] andry: aspire one is best machine?? i am buy one, recomend please [16:46] bruenig: I just put it just in case [16:46] quidnunc: There are many different metapackages (ie remixes) [16:47] how do I install just grub from the live cd? [16:47] FrankQC: read also, it literally wont work for rm [16:47] quidnunc: I don't know which one you have. Presumably you have ubuntu-standard [16:47] FrankQC: you will get an error [16:47] bruenig: cool [16:47] FrankQC: It didn't delete conf files [16:47] rioch: I will look for you open a PM [16:47] R3, could you suggest a linux equivalent of Belarc advisor, so I can get hardware specifics? This seems like a video driver problem, no? stuck in 1280/1024 75Hz [16:47] !grub | rioch [16:47] rioch: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows?

[16:47] FrankQC: It still automatically logs into my accout which means it have my account details saved [16:47] quidnunc: yes [16:48] wbc: To delete conf file go in your /home, then do ctrl + h (I think that's the hotkey), then find the .emesene or whatever, delete that folder. Whichever folder with a period and 'emesene' in it. [16:48] FrankQC; there is no such thing [16:48] wbc: There has to be one associated to Emesene [16:48] FrankQC: How may I find out what the file is named?

[17:46] little problem I'm having... every time I've updated from intrepid to jaunty, the wireless stops working. I want to upgrade my laptop to jaunty, but with a dead ethernet and usb port, I don't want to lose wireless either. Anyone know a way that's sure to work?

With older versions of Ubuntu my laptop's onboard sound card's middle port was recognised as a line out and worked as such. Now it shows as a line in. I have unfortunately rendered my headphone jack useless and I would like to revert back to the old behaviour. Any ideas on how this can be done? Thanks in advance [17:47] TheStarLion, try to fix the wireless, figure out what chipset it is and see if it's supported or if there's a driver... google [17:47] jdude, yes. It works fine, but every time i login i have to click "connect to wired network" [17:47] how to play obably - it's a default) [17:47] how to shronghold [17:47] on ubuntu? [17:47] jdude: the only driver I've found for it is the windows one, I use ndiswrapper for that. It worked in intrepid without any issues, but in jaunty it says it can't see the hardware, and cant connect to any wireless except unsecured, of which there aren't any I use [17:48] Hey y'all [17:48] i need a repository for xubuntu hardy for audacios 2.1 [17:48] How "dangerous" is it to remove the sudo and always run as root? [17:48] suppermann, maybe have a login script that forces it up? ifconfig === KevGOP is now known as kevin34 [17:49] Agat0n, advisable only if you're a smart admin [17:49] jdude, how do i do that? [17:49] i need a repository for xubuntu hardy for audacios 2.1 ,or tell me where find a .deb package [17:49] suppermann this is in jaunty right? [17:49] nyaa, it's 7.04 [17:49] jdude, aight thx [17:50] suppermann, maybe try /etc/profile ? a zillion ways [17:50] What irc client do you lot recomend for ubuntu? [17:50] suppermann, using ifconfig, you might be able to force it on with a dhcp query or something [17:50] Agat0n: Well, that's pretty much all of ubuntu's security stripped away, only thing you have left is the "no one hacks linux"-safety, which is rather flaky...) [17:50] Agat0n, i use xchat i guess mostly [17:50] arand, why i'd only recommend it to a pro [17:50] Agat0n: xchat....not xchat-gnome [17:50] hi all....i have an ongoing problem with my screen flashing sometimes to the point that the computer isn't usable. [17:50] suppermann oh my... still in the network connections icon in the upper right there should be a way to edit connections. From there you should have a way to examine the wired connection, and a check box or something for it to connect automatically, right? [17:51] yeah, regular xchat [17:51] What music player and modules player do you lot reccomend for ubuntu? [17:51] Agat0n: Not even hardened Linux "geeks" run as root all the time, simply because you might do something wrong ONCE, and it MIGHT crash your entire system. [17:51] th0r, i'll try that [17:51] hhh2, vlc [17:51] no [17:51] LostIRC is so ugly. [17:51] OttifantSir, you're correct... better know what you're doing! [17:51] i have gotta fix this bridging ics shiz, i'll bbl [17:51] nyaa, no, there's only a checkbox that says enable roaming mode which does not work [17:52] i need a repository for xubuntu hardy for audacios 2.1 ,or tell me where find a .deb package [17:52] hhh2: have you tried packages.ubuntu.com [17:52] OttifantSir: a lot prbably does, also, some distros do, take systemrescuecd or puppy linux for example... [17:52] hhh2: if there isn't one, you might be able to use an intrepid .deb for it, but you might also run into issues [17:53] OttifantSir, and it will because it assumes you know what you're doing [17:53] th0r, yes [17:54] hi there guys === Mud is now known as Mud|afk [17:54] little problem I'm having... every time I've updated from intrepid to jaunty, the wireless stops working. I want to upgrade my laptop to jaunty, but with a dead ethernet and usb port, I don't want to lose wireless either. Anyone know a way that's sure to work? [17:54] I recently was trying to get xen working on my laptop and ran into some nvidia driver xorg issues. In trying to resolve these I uninstalled and then reinstalled all my nvidia packages. I noticed withing the "hardware drivers" control panel though that there are no longer any nvidia drivers listed. Is there a way to repopulate this list? or did I miss a package to re-install? [17:54] arand: systemrescuecd I can understand running as root. And still, my statement stays correct for it: You don't run it as an all-time OS, so you don't run as root all the time. I know nothing of puppy linux, except that it's supposed to be small. [17:55] Anyone tried the new version of wine yet? [17:55] I am using geany, and I have successfully programmed an avr microcontroller with avrdude, using a hex file I compiled with geany. Is there a way to automatically program the avr so I don't need to write the command in terminal? [17:56] Crazyguy: I don't understand your statement there. Will the system run as root if you set it to do it? Of course. Does that mean that you know what you're doing? Not necessarily. [17:56] Hi. With newer versions of Ubuntu my line out is recognised as a line in. Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks. [17:56] anyone tried Wine 1.1.26? [17:56] yet? [17:57] OttifantSir, I meant that if you do something "wrong", it _will_ break the system [17:57] can anyone help me about beep , i cant get any sound from bee command :( [17:57] big linux??? [17:58] chanel big linux? [17:58] little problem I'm having... every time I've updated from intrepid to jaunty, the wireless stops working. I want to upgrade my laptop to jaunty, but with a dead ethernet and usb port, I don't want to lose wireless either. Anyone know a way that's sure to work? [17:58] Crazyguy: OK, a little slow today, but I think I know where you were going with it. [17:58] suppermann I'm dumbfounded. Have you tried just making a new eth0 connection in network manager, and naming it AUTO eth0 (if thats possible? grasping for straws =/) [17:58] qual canal do big linux? [17:58] Has anyone used the ebox platform? My question is: Do I need to install Ubuntu 8.04 Server before installing ebox? [17:59] Anyone know if it is possible to upgrade to the latest version of wine while staying within the confines of the package manager? (Ubuntu 8.04 | wine 1.1.26) [17:59] How can I check to see if something is mounted? (for a script) [18:00] x88x the package manager will only go up so far, they won't do an untested version, you have to go outside of the package manager to do this. However you can still download a .deb and use something like gdebi to install it without any hassle if that is your goal [18:00] Or, would it be prudent to do incrimental upgrades to 9.04? And then if I were to do that, would I have access to wine 1.1.26? [18:00] ScottG490: mount [18:00] th0r: How can I use that to check though? [18:01] nyaa: Well, yes, would like to try it out. [18:01] little problem I'm having... every time I've updated from intrepid to jaunty, the wireless stops working. I want to upgrade my laptop to jaunty, but with a dead ethernet and usb port, I don't want to lose wireless either. Anyone know a way that's sure to work? [18:01] ScottG490: if you are looking to do it all automatically in a script...try #bash [18:01] x88x if you're using ubuntu I'd definitely recommend downloading a .deb of the newer version and installing it with gdebi, it makes it fairly easy [18:01] nyaa: I'm interested in getting wizard101 on this PC for my grandkids - when they come over. [18:02] aaah =) [18:02] nyaa: Sould I uninstall the current wine-0.9.59 first? [18:03] x88x probably so, you could install over it but its just a bad habit overall from my experience [18:03] nyaa: Or just go ahead and use gdebi to install 1.1.26...? [18:03] x88x I'd uninstall the package version you have now to be safe [18:03] nyaa: Ok, that's what I thought, I'll just uninstall wine first. [18:03] also though [18:03] x88x have you tried wizard101 in your current wine? [18:04] nyaa: Ok, sounds like good advice. [18:04] x88x it doesn't say it won't work, it just says its as yet untested [18:04] nyaa: No, I haven't tried it yet. [18:04] nyaa: I suppose I should try it first.../? [18:04] x88x its your call, but thats what I would do [18:04] can anyone help troubleshoot a video problem? [18:04] little problem I'm having... every time I've updated from intrepid to jaunty, the wireless stops working. I want to upgrade my laptop to jaunty, but with a dead ethernet and usb port, I don't want to lose wireless either. Anyone know a way that's sure to work? [18:04] hi [18:05] x88x I would try it, then if it has a failing point, uninstall and use gdebi on the .deb of the newer version [18:05] nyaa: You'd try running wizard101 with current version of wine first? [18:05] x88x yes, I wouldn't really be surprised it it works. [18:05] could someone help me to get the file xc3028-v27.fw.tar.bz2 at http://ubuntuforums.org/attachment.php?s=8e33f4eeddd7ae466b2f1e1562d9d915&attachmentid=82736&d=1219665844, i registered, but the access is still refused to me for some reason [18:05] nyaa: Ok, sounds like a plan. [18:05] nyaa: I've heard it does work [18:06] I am using geany, and I have successfully programmed an avr microcontroller with avrdude, using a hex file I compiled with geany. Is there a way to automatically program the avr so I don't need to write the command in terminal? [18:06] Hi , is it possible to see the symblic link file content (not target content) ? [18:06] Is there any tool out there to visually edit GTK2.0 themes? [18:06] x88x: If you want Synaptic to get the latest version for you, go to this site: http://www.winehq.org/download/deb and follow the instructions. This adds the Wine-repository to Synaptic, and will get the latest version. It is not a supported repository, though, so do what you feel is best. [18:07] x88x I once had an issue with a newer wine beyond the repos (really I had gone into experimental repos) that ended up maknig a game I played at the time close in a C++ error every time, so while wine has been very good overall, I find it better to be safe [18:07] how do i add e1000 to /etc/modules? [18:07] nyaa: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXIIQQyS360 [18:07] suppermann what exactly is e1000? is it a completed file? [18:08] !nvidia [18:08] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [18:08] OttifantSir: Ok, thanks for info. [18:08] nyaa, i dont know, actually. it's a suggestion i saw on a site to solve my network problems [18:08] how do i set vlc as the default player in ubuntu? [18:08] can anyone recommend a good low profile video card that works excellent with ubuntu [18:08] any video I run crashes my pc [18:09] suppermann, e1000 is intels ethernet connect it also has e100 as well. [18:09] ruhaan: go into the properties for a file you want to be opened by default with vlc, and on one of the tabs it'll allow you to select the default app [18:09] suppermann I would first find out what it is. if its something to be added to an existing file in /etc/modules, thats one thing, but if its an actual module, then you have to download that module from somewhere, or find it [18:09] TheStarLion: isnt there a way to set it for all media? [18:09] ruhaan: there might be, but that's the only way I know of so far [18:09] suppermann, i use to have to blacklist it to get my e100 to work. [18:10] oldude67, i really dont know what i am doing [18:10] how can i get the correct flash player for amd64? [18:11] jethro85 I am having exact same problem, are you experiencing sloppy performance of flash? [18:11] i cant get flash to install [18:11] jethro85 it's easy [18:12] suppermann there's a file that has things that are blacklisted, if you can find it, you can just tell it to blacklist the thing thats blocking it from working [18:12] the one from flash website wont install it says its for x86 [18:12] suppermann, dmesg and see if it says which eth0 you are using [18:12] so, quick question. last time i installed 9.04b, and the closed source drivers from ATI wouldnt work. anyone running them and can confirm they're working? [18:12] they still wont work ardin [18:12] i installed ubuntu jaunty with wubi and i want to reformat my windows7 RC1to 7600 will it remove my ubuntu? (its in a dif drive) [18:13] im stuck in 8.10 [18:13] suppermann usually the blacklist files are in /etc/modprobe.d somewhere [18:13] is there a 64 bit version of flash player in the repositories? [18:13] jethro85 just download a tar.gz package then extract it somewhere, then copy it to your /usr/lib/opera/plugins or firefox or whatever you use [18:13] jethro85: thanks. guess ati hasnt rewrote them for the new xorg? gay. [18:14] oldude67, it prints: [ 71.418354] eth0: RealTek RTL-8029 found at 0x2040, IRQ 11, 00:80:AD:41:BC:A9.... and also no ipv6 routers present a couple of times [18:14] ardin i read something about a fix but i didnt understand it because i am very new to linux [18:14] thank you danon i am going to try that right now [18:14] jethro85: i'm not, however, i dont want to futz around with it for hours like last time. [18:14] anyone? [18:14] suppermann,then you are using a realtec ethernet card not a e1000 or e100 [18:15] jethro85 32bit version should work fine I believe [18:15] shaullx: if ubuntu is installed on the same drive, you'll lose it, best to make a backup of your data in it first [18:15] Using geany and avr-gcc, I have managed to compile a hex file, that I have manually programmed onto my microcontroller using avrdude in the terminal. I would like to have geany program my microcontroller with the push of a button, so I don't have to use the terminal, how can this be done? [18:15] oldude67, ok. My problem is that this computer does not automatically connect to the wired network. [18:15] jethro85 I myself use 32bit ubuntu on 64bit athlon x2 [18:15] TheStarLion i already said ubuntu is in a dif drive [18:15] i am using 64 bit on athlon 64 [18:16] but i installed with wubi [18:16] so its like part of windows [18:16] shaullx: then you'll need to make a note of the entry in the boot record that allows you to boot into Ubuntu when you start up, and then after you reinstall, re-add it to the boot record again [18:16] ok tnx [18:16] :) [18:16] jethro85 did you try some games and stuff? how is the performance? [18:17] busco enlace a ubuntu.es [18:17] suppermann is this an ethernet connection, or a usb connection?

I would like to have geany program my microcontroller with the push of a button, so I don't have to use the terminal, how can this be done? [18:38] outbackwifi: yeah virtual screen. that would work with just the single display too right? [18:38] vikb: you can add it in Places - Connect to Server --> Select SSH [18:38] TheWheat: yes it would but i havent seen it in Ubuntu for a long time though. It comes up when I add an external monitor to my laptop [18:38] [R], I can try that again, but last time I couldn't convince it that I had enabled SHMConfig. Are there any alternatives? [18:39] <[R]> schristie: you're using 9.04? i never had to do anything special [18:39] [R], you mean installing from the package just worked?

I had originally tried that on 9.04, and it didn't work. I've since upgraded to karmic alpha 2 for stability reasons [18:40] <[R]> vprm: first of all... it doesn't "just work"? there is nothing listed under the "hardware drivers" menu? [18:41] never would have thought that an alpha would be *more* stable than a release, but it is [18:41] <[R]> vprm: and waht versino of ubuntu do you have installed?

Are you trying to get a resolution higher than the ones offered in the GUI? [19:16] hi. anyone with karmic/amd64 and grub2 in here? [19:16] edbian: yes. before the kvm i had 1280 by 1024. [19:16] edbian: ok ... thank you. Is some screen flickering problem also involved with it ! [19:17] edbian: and it seems configuring xorg only sets up my keyboard [19:17] Usb-creator with 'extra space' option causes BusyBox at booting process which offers some strange 'initramfs:' for hardy and jaubty distributions. Can it be problem with comuter? [19:17] flatley, you must define it in Xorg. [19:17] flatley: Try "xrandr --fb 1280x1024" [19:17] hy all [19:17] how to install xmms on ubuntu [19:18] anurag89: There is an option to fix that. To see a full list of the options for the config file look at "man conky" [19:18] generalcody: im not sure what to to do. i know my video chipset and moniotr, but its not my xorgconf and i dont know what to add [19:18] mentor1: http://www.pvv.ntnu.no/~knuta/xmms/ [19:18] mentor1: select it in Applications --> Add/Remove [19:18] the gnome/kde resolution thing just uses framebuffer, but after you install a decent driver it is up to Xorg. [19:18] edbian: that made my wallpaper bigger, thats it [19:18] flatley: Also, I learned a little trick. Make sure your KVM is set to your monitor when you boot your system. If the kvm is set to a different monitor than X11 will see that monitor when probing. [19:19] edbian: yes ive done that [19:19] good afternoon [19:19] hey can somebody help me desktop is messed up everthing is in the folder but nothing shows on the desktop it self [19:19] hey guys, in terminal, how could i append to my sources.list whatevers in my clipboard?

[19:20] outbackwifi, yes, i can, just wondering [19:20] flatley: Try running Xorg -configure [19:20] juanbond: shift+insert does a paste [19:20] ok so how would i make them visible ...yes im a newbie to ubuntu [19:20] generalcody: ive been googling for days and i cant find a workable solution. not just the kvm prob...but the fact that my xorg is empty. [19:21] edbian: ive already done that [19:21] If one does not have time and/or interest for learning, they should not use Linux === keanu is now known as [keanu] [19:21] or a computer [19:21] geeralcody: ive leraned a lot using linux...im here as a last resort [19:21] outbackwifi thanks [19:21] flatley: Xorg is so advanced now that you don't have to have an xorg.conf at all. If you don't have one than X simply looks at the info it probed from your hardware. [19:21] GeneralCody: remember that "Jim" is a pretty blonde too [19:21] flatley: If you add things to xorg.conf though it will pay attention to them over the probing info. [19:22] kraig: Hit Alt+F2, type in gconf-editor, and check if volumes visible is checked [19:22] flatley: Could you pastebin your xorg.conf file for me? [19:22] ok thanks [19:22] flatley: Or just say if it is blank [19:22] I have Gigabyte (http://gigabyte.com.tw) EP45-DS3L motherboard with integrated Intel High Definition Audio (HDA) CA0106 audio chip.

I just thought you could help him out . [19:36] pkkm: if I had to guess I'd say the reason the alsa options in the sound preferences applet don't work is you're getting the also -> pulseaudio plugin, which is very confusing and I don't know how to debug. [19:36] anurag89: Hopefully :) [19:36] flately: can you grab the last 20-30 lines?

[19:38] haagar: Nope [19:38] MattPhilie: You need to close synaptic [19:38] Colo2: I've had it installed before, but it may have been in another repo [19:38] mzz: ok, I'll click 'test' with alsa device and connect the speakers to all of my sound card's outputs, and I'll apt-get purge pulseaudio. [19:39] pkkm: that may break more than it fixes. Please ask the channel. [19:39] zortec: i understand [19:39] ya i think well i see the world spinning and then it gets black [19:39] zortec: I'll try again. but it was closed.. but ill give it another try [19:39] flately: one of the ways to write peoples nicks is to press tab after the first few letters of their name [19:39] Flare183: thanks :) But I have jaunty, and the tutorial I followed to install it failed, other people using Jaunty have the same problem [19:39] i not understand.im bad in english..have gui? [19:39] outbackwifi: mmmmm thats not the issue but thanks... [19:39] pkkm: I know very little about ubuntu's pulseaudio setup, so I'm not the right person to help debug it, and I don't know what removing it will break [19:39] outbackwifi: thank you, haha [19:39] i cant log in as root in single user mode!! any ideas? [19:39] outbackwifi: but really, that's the whole file [19:40] after the world is spinning it turns black [19:40] edbian: executes and returns nothing.. ecryptfs-mount-private still shows ERROR Encypted Private is not setup properly [19:40] zortec: OK it is done now. It worked. Now what? How do I get the sound to work [19:40] mzz: It wasn't originally installed in my Ubuntu, I just apt-get installed it [19:40] I think I won't break anything [19:40] outbackwifi: the last line is: (II) intel(0): I2C device "CRTDDC_A:ddc2" removed. [19:40] WIGGMPk: Such a vague error. [19:40] pkkm: (there's a confusing thing where applications using libalsa for output actually end up talking to pulse via a libalsa plugin, which in turn talks to the sound card using libalsa (again) and the kernel's alsa interface. I don't know how to debug that setup properly) [19:40] Is it good to "shutdown -r" in terminal to reboot the computer? Or should I instead do it the clicking-way? [19:40] MattPhilie: Close any open browsers and try to go a multimedia site like youtube and see if it fixed the problem [19:41] zortec: alright [19:41] Qu4R0w: what is your native language? [19:41] pkkm: pulseaudio is most definitely installed out of the box in jaunty, iirc also in intrepid, I don't know about older versions. [19:41] WIGGMPk: What is the command you're using? What are you trying to do? View the files? [19:41] malaysia [19:41] edbian: tell me about it.. I know my passphrase and I thought by leaving the home directory untouched and just declaring it /home when I reinstalled I could just save my data.. but appartently its there but encrpyted [19:41] malay [19:41] MattPhilie: have you also checked if ubuntu-restricted-extras was installed in synaptic?

[19:47] I have installed the feed aggregator Planet on Ubuntu Sever but where do I find the software? I have found the conf file, but how do I run it? It's a python file, do I have to run it inside oython? [19:47] People on.... [19:47] *python [19:47] flately: If you are confused about an option such as "Device "Card0" " Just leave that option out. [19:47] insert linux cd then see partiton right? [19:47] MattPhilie: now try a site like youtube and see if you have found [19:47] MattPhilie: um, sound [19:47] hey, i'm having trouble getting sound out of my rear speakers (audigy 2 soundcard connected to 5.1 surround sound) any ideas? [19:47] mzz: I'll remove it and brb in 15 min [19:47] WIGGMPk: Paste bin it. I am suspicious especially since your re-arranged your partitions [19:47] edbian: ok. ill do it and restart x. if this works, its boobie town for you, buddy! [19:47] flately: Hooray! [19:47] Qu4R0w: the Ubuntu CD will let you boot all the way to an Ubuntu desktop. You can then see if your data is still intact on the hard drive. [19:48] !audigy [19:48] Sorry, I don't know anything about audigy [19:48] Hello everyone! Anyone here good at troubleshooting sound problems? I only get sound when playing media through Totem. I have tried different cards, different versions of Linux, reset my bios, disabled the onboard sound.. [19:48] I installed Planet feed aggragator from Ubuntu recipitories, but how do I run it? [19:48] Qu4R0w: the live CD can be used to test your hardware and make sure everything is running without a hitch before you install [19:48] bluedalek: as opposed to what? [19:48] bluedalek: I mean totem plays, what doesn't? [19:48] zortec: nope nothing.. maybe does it need drivers>? or something.. sorry im a noob [19:48] Evelina: Is it not in the gnome menu? [19:48] sure..i dun touch that drive..before this,i resinstall windows then,it cant see linux(cant open linux) [19:49] Evelina: look through your gnome menu and find where it was put, possibly in the internet category [19:49] zortec: if I remember right, his problem is Windows took a dive, but his Ubuntu installation may still be on there and he doesn't want to destroy the data on it [19:49] edbian: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d5ef0e8e3 [19:49] it make me to reinstall linux also [19:49] mzz, no sound through Firefox, Amarok, Moovida, system sounds (startup, ect) [19:49] bluedalek: does the "Test" button in system -> preferences -> sound work? [19:49] Yes [19:49] Qu4R0w: you HAVE to install Windows first and THEN Linux. Windows hates competition. [19:49] MattPhilie: let me see if I have this right, you have sound on your desktop but not when you go to any sites? [19:49] I want root privs [19:49] and access the itnernet [19:50] dhaval_: use sudo [19:50] mzz: yes [19:50] dhaval_: root access: sudo [19:50] then i insert linux cd,n what i do next? [19:50] bluedalek: do the playback buttons on the "Sounds" tab of that same applet work? [19:50] Qu4R0w: boot to the CD. [19:50] Can't everytime. I tried installing Foxit pdf creater, and it told me that I didn't have the permission to. [19:50] WIGGMPk: This is one hell of a system! I didn't know we were working on a raid array. [19:50] zortec: I set my speakers to the default for sound playback.. and I hit test and I hear the noise. When I go to youtube or something there is no sound [19:50] even with sudo wine [that software] it game me the same error [19:50] choose install ubuntu? [19:50] dhaval_: sudo dpkg -i filename.deb (if it's a .deb) [19:50] ascheel: he can just reinstall windows, might have to reinstall GRUB but when I did a fresh install last night didn't have to [19:50] edbian: yea I failed to mention that.. didnt pay it any mind at the time [19:51] Qu4R0w: no, choose the option to go to the desktop [19:51] No its not .deb, its a windows app i'm running using wine. [19:51] dhaval_: you aren't supposed to sudo things like wine or firefox [19:51] Also: [19:51] zortec: yeah, that's true. [19:51] try ubuntu right? [19:51] Yeah [19:51] yes, Qu4R0w [19:51] WIGGMPk: Unfortunately the only option you have set is "relatime" which you should def. have by the way. I don't know why you can't access your encrypted partition :(. Ask around I guess :( [19:51] um, why would you sudo firefox? [19:51] dhaval_: it's probably because you have run sudo in the past that you now have permissions issues [19:51] dhaval_: gotcha. Then do: gksudo [19:51] but It did give me an error saying I don't have permissions to /home/dhaval/.wine [19:51] don't sudo firefox [19:51] had to use chmod, don't know why. [19:51] edbian: I use Ubuntu Server so I haven't got a menu at all. [19:51] dhaval_: see my last statement [19:52] mzz, no they do not [19:52] then edit sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst [19:52] dhaval_: I don't either, but make sure you're the owner of the directory and you have rwx to all directories [19:52] is it? [19:52] dhaval_: If you do have to sudo something graphical use gksu. [19:52] edbian: well... I appreciate the help. THanks [19:52] OH! [19:52] hi all, was just wondering if someone can help me with a hibernation problem. on resume wireless network fails to connect to any wireless, even after restarting network. this is on ubuntu 9.04 [19:52] Right! i'll try that. [19:52] thanks [19:52] bluedalek: curious. Let me try to find out what those play back through... [19:52] zortec: I don't have a menu, I only have the command line interface. [19:52] mzz: thanks. [19:52] Qu4R0w: do you still see your data when you go to 'Places'? [19:52] Evelina: Then just type the name of the program in the terminal! For example to start nano you would just type "nano" [19:52] Evelina: did you do a text install? [19:52] Evelina: minimal/alternate install CD [19:53] i think yes coz i not touch another partition [19:53] bluedalek: oh, you could try running gnome-sound-properties from a term, then trying those failing playback buttons again, just in case there's debug spew [19:53] i only format local disk C [19:53] zortec: She is just trying to start an app she installed. [19:53] mzz: one moment [19:53] und nothing. [19:53] techbw: does it happen to be an asus laptop? [19:53] Nevermind [19:53] I'm going to SUSE or Mandriva [19:53] Ubuntu is for newbies [19:53] MattPhilie: ah make sure you are in the directory with the exe and just type the name of the app [19:54] Ah. this is driving me insane [19:54] MattPhilie: sorry, wrong person [19:54] mzz:nope a sahara laptop [19:54] Qu4R0w: make sure, but if you do have the data, it's safe to install Windows over that formatted partition and then you will have to reinstall Grub. [19:54] !grub | Qu4R0w [19:54] Qu4R0w: 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 [19:54] edbian: ah make sure you are in the directory with the exe and just type the name of the app [19:54] zortec: wrong again ;) [19:54] lol [19:54] techbw: drat, then I guess it's not the same thing I hit: a bug in the asus-specific rfkill button, fixed in a newer kernel [19:54] hey, i'm having trouble getting sound out of my rear speakers (audigy 2 soundcard connected to 5.1 surround sound) any idea how to get my audio upmixed to go out my rear speakers too? [19:55] mzz: the buttons are not clickable [19:55] Evelina: open up the terminal, find out where the app is using locate and type the name to run the program [19:55] Ah one thing [19:55] zortec: She's on a server install. [19:55] Using wget [19:55] bluedalek: they don't look clickable, but they are [19:55] mzz:my pc resumes fine from the hibernation, it's only the wifi that does not reconnect to networks. [19:55] then i not really understand with that URL..i not really understand english..my poor english [19:55] How do I store the songs in particular dirs [19:55] mzz: nothing happens.. no responce [19:55] just cd [to dir] and then wget [url] ? [19:55] techbw: recommend you google for your laptop, and also try to rmmod the relevant driver before suspending and re-modprobe it after resuming (there's a way to automate that if it helps, sec...) [19:55] dhaval_: that or read about -P in its man page [19:56] -P? [19:56] ooo...kkk [19:56] can u tell me step and step.maybe i can figure it coz i already read mant tutorial before [19:56] edbian: Hmm. That is different. [19:56] techbw: SUSPEND_MODULES="$SUSPEND_MODULES ath9k" (replace ath9k with your actual driver) in /etc/pm/config.d/50wireless [19:56] zortec: server install? What's so odd about that? [19:56] mzz: I have three entries for my sound card listed.. all identical [19:57] MattPhilie: I guess it's odd because I haven't done server installs before, except when running RedHat/Fedora back in the day [19:57] I'll download an open dir later. [19:57] MattPhilie: I have to stop doing that, lol [19:57] edbian: I guess it's odd because I haven't done server installs before, except when running RedHat/Fedora back in the day [19:57] zortec: I think that was meant for me. You just can't get it straight today! [19:57] zortec: lol [19:57] bluedalek: hmm. I'm afraid I'm not really familiar with the other failing stuff you listed. Random thoughts include: weird canberra backend in /usr/lib/libcanberra-0.11, weird pulseaudio device getting picked up [19:57] mzz:thx will do a little searching on that [19:57] edbian: No I can't. I'm all over the place! [19:57] ah cool [19:57] zortec: ahah, you got a lot going on I can tell [19:57] hey veryone [19:58] zortec: I don't like ubuntu server. Not stable enough in my opinion. [19:58] edbian: what kind of "Stable" is it lacking in? [19:58] zortec: It's a python program and I can't find it using whereis planet, only the configuration file. [19:58] time travel anyone? [19:58] Evelina: Can you do a system wide grep? [19:58] just $10... [19:58] mzz: is there any way to strip it down to the basic's? [19:58] mzz: I tried to install NFS-kernel-server (64bit) and the install dpkg script errored out caused all sorts of havoc trying to get NFS to work. [19:59] hey if I download wget [parent directory], it'll download it into specific directories right? [19:59] like [19:59] mzz: I guess that doesn't really fall under stability though [19:59] if the parent directories has like 6 folders and 7 fiels [19:59] bluedalek: sorry, I suck at debugging the pulseaudio layer. The alsa and gstreamer side of things seems to be working if totem and that "test" button work. [19:59] Evelina: cd / - grep "file" * something like that? [19:59] it will organize it properly right? [19:59] send me in the direction of the newbie channel [20:00] <[criipt]> How do i give a user access to a program that has only root permission? [20:00] mzz: anyway to pitch pulse and just stick to alsa & gstreamer? [20:00] bluedalek: I don't know if you can do that sanely, sorry. [20:00] hello [20:00] I need help to connect a third computer to dd-wrt, it wont connect to internet but it does get an ip adress [20:00] jet: there is an absolute beginner's forum but you are in the main ubuntu channel. I don't know if there is a newbie ubuntu channel though [20:00] mzz: would an older version of Ubuntu be better? [20:00] bluedalek: I'm still pretty new to ubuntu. [20:00] alright thanks [20:00] Right...? [20:00] you da man [20:00] mzz: I've been using for a couple years.. but this is the first time something like this has come up.. lol sound is not my strong point [20:01] is there a irc channel for dd-wrt? [20:01] jet: there's #ubuntu-beginners, I think, but I don't know if it is populated. [20:02] i used to go on that one bfore [20:02] jet: might be faster to ask here and have someone help you out [20:02] bluedalek: I can usually debug alsa and gstreamer but am still pretty new to pulse and libcanberra (system sounds) and don't use any of the kde stuff (amarok) [20:02] #dd-wrt ? [20:02] awesome. i was just basically wanting to get the chat to load up when i nd it again i got it figured [20:03] jet: so you installed Ubuntu, and your not sure what to do with it yet? [20:03] ill go search the forums for a bit [20:03] ben using it for a few months im getting bored of doing nothing with it [20:03] mzz: thanks for your help :_ [20:03] wget -x [parent directory] will download all files and all directories and the files in them right? [20:03] mzz : :) [20:03] jet: did you browse Synaptic properly and find out what kind of programs you can install? [20:03] For brevity, I'm thinking of serving sites out of /www or /w. Is it horribly bad practice to create directories in / [20:03] ? [20:03] nope [20:04] hello? [20:04] a little bit but i didnt really put anything on besides xchat [20:04] mattalexx: I think it matters more the permissions on the file [20:04] jet: well that's what I did when I was new to Ubuntu in 2005, the second release [20:04] mattalexx: I'd put them in /srv or somewhere below /var, but I don't think anything will blow up if you put them directly below / either. [20:04] jet: I had a right look through synaptic, the games secitons and so on [20:04] anything nessassary i should install from there to run zune software? [20:05] jet: oh you got a Zune, I think Banshee might be able to work with it [20:05] dhaval_: no... [20:05] then how do i do that? [20:05] mzz:it seemed to be the alternate atheros drivers I enabled, resume workked 100% now [20:05] jet: when you know what to install it's actsaully easier and quicker to use the terminal. system > preferences > terminal and then for example sudo apt-get install banshee [20:05] wget -rxc [url]? [20:05] dhaval_: did you look at the examples in the man page? [20:05] mzz: thx [20:06] yeah, didn't get much [20:06] gimmie a second ill brb [20:06] I'm looking at the man page [20:06] dhaval_: well read the descripts for each of those switches then, that should tell you if they do what you want or not [20:07] OK, but what does recursive mena? [20:07] jet: ok [20:07] dhaval_: to understand recursion you must understand recursion [20:08] dhaval_: (it's the option you want) [20:08] zortec: No I don't really know how to do a system wide grep. [20:08] anyone know of free computer virtualisation similar to M$ virtual PC? [20:08] ok... [20:08] !virtualizer | techbw [20:08] techbw: There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications [20:08] I understand recrusive functions, but I don't get it here. [20:08] techbw: Virtualbox and if you want USB support get it directly from http://www.virtualbox.org for Linux hosts [20:09] dhaval_: it means it keeps going once it gets inside a directory. not the default depth though [20:09] s/not/note [20:09] How do I get rid of all of those boot options in my GRUB menu? [20:09] techbw: sadly the open source version lacks the feature, but the freeware version has it [20:09] Can I uninstall them somehow? [20:09] ok.... [20:09] I think I get it [20:09] jrib:thx [20:09] I basically means download it all. Right? [20:10] techbw: I like virtualbox (I use the ose version myself) but the others are useful too [20:10] dhaval_: basicaly but see my last statement [20:10] sebsebseb:thanks will try that first [20:10] So it downloads till the end, and keeps going until it reaches the deepest directory right? [20:10] whats terminals shortcut? [20:10] dhaval_: no. See my warning about the default depth [20:11] hola !!! [20:11] techbw: it's pretty straight forward, but this is something you should know about. make sure you do the default dynamicaly expanding vm, when it comes to making your hard disk, and that's just the size the vm OS thinks it has, and of course the vm file takes up some space on your pysical hard disk as well. so for Windows do like 60GB [20:11] mzz: just looking for a way to move away from running windows, and vmware costs $$ or at least that is what I heard [20:11] There's such a thing as default depth huh? [20:11] could someone help me set up wireless in 9.04 on my laptop? I've looked at guides and tried both native and windows drivers and can't seem to get it to work. I've previously set up wireless on this laptop in linux before but not in this install [20:11] dhaval_: man page right under -r [20:11] anybody have or know where to get FiSH v0.98 for xchat? [20:11] techbw: with things like virtualbox you'll still run windows, just inside a vm (at the same time as ubuntu, without having to reboot) [20:11] techbw: the other option does a psyical vm file as big as you said, so you end up wasting hard disk space [20:12] techbw: wine lets you run windows apps without actually running windows [20:12] I installed a program (numpty physics) from a deb file and I cant uninstall it, sudo aptitude remove -f numptyphysics doesnt work [20:12] hardy hardon [20:12] !doesn't work | themiddleman [20:12] themiddleman: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [20:12] mzz I think he already knows since he asked for an alternative to VirtualPC [20:12] !doesn't work | themiddleman [20:12] ? [20:12] sebsebseb: I would like to second that, dynamically expanding disk is the best option but you do take a very small performance hit... hardly noticeable [20:12] or gutsy bonobo? [20:12] mzz: got that installed already, have photoshop installed on wine, as well as dreamweaver. seems to run ok [20:12] -l? ok... [20:12] I'll try it later [20:12] Thanks a lot dude :) [20:12] zortec: a performance hit what? [20:12] mzz: just fonts suck in wine [20:12] fuck you [20:13] heh [20:13] !langauge | themiddleman [20:13] themiddleman: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [20:13] themiddleman: please don't act like that. Stay family-friendly if you wish to remain here [20:13] techbw: virtualbox is great for things wine can't handle as well as for thoroughly isolating windows apps from your ubuntu system, as long as they don't need great graphical performance. [20:13] sebsebseb: That should have been to techbw [20:13] Yeah, well i described it really well and you flame me [20:13] zortec: ah ok [20:13] sebsebseb: I'm hitting all ground balls today :P [20:14] themiddleman, you did not. You say 'xxxx didn't work'. That is *not* a good description of a problem [20:14] zortec: I didn't understand what you meant [20:14] mzz:that is what I thought, if anything happens on virtual machine then replace with a backup of the file [20:14] nobody knows anything about Fish in xchat.... [20:14] themiddleman: I'm not sure what kind of help you expect from "doesn't work". It probably gives you some output which you should share. No one "flamed" you. We asked for more details === mike is now known as Guest63896 [20:14] enlace para ubuntu-es [20:14] !es [20:14] En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [20:14] sebsebseb: I meant when you told him to choose the dynamically expanding disk option in the vm, that you take a slight performance hit [20:14] mzz: you have to think like that with windows. [20:14] techbw: also with a vm you get snapshots, which are really awesome. [20:14] i cant find terminal under system preferences? [20:14] I installed a program (numpty physics) from a deb file and I cant uninstall it, sudo aptitude remove -f numptyphysics doesnt uninstall it [20:14] zortec: ah ok [20:14] Went to wikipedia... [20:15] sebsebseb: because the disk is growing [20:15] themiddleman: so what *does* that aptitude command do? [20:15] Couldn't you just tell me to use gwget? [20:15] themiddleman: What does that command do? [20:15] !termianl | jet [20:15] Sorry, I don't know anything about termianl [20:15] jet: or maybe I told you to look in the wrong place applications > assessories [20:15] jet, applications -> accessories [20:15] !terminal | jet [20:15] jet: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful.

[20:16] mzz: sebsebseb: what's the diffirence between virtualbox ose and standard version [20:16] jet: if that is what you want [20:16] techbw: there's a list of differences on the wiki [20:16] jet: alt + F2 lets you run things. A terminal is one thing you could run. [20:16] jet sorry my bad whoops simple mistake, and seveas no one is perfect [20:16] techbw: http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Editions [20:16] jet, you can set a shortcut in system -> prefs -> keyboard shortcuts [20:16] mzz, edbian http://pastebin.com/d7683b8ad [20:16] How can one access the help docu in /usr/share/doc ??? [20:16] jet: you can also use gnomedock and there is even launchy on linux, just some alternatives [20:16] anyne? [20:16] anyone, rather [20:16] diddy: with less would be one way [20:16] diddy: I usually use "less", but many things work (a lot of the stuff there is plain text) [20:17] sebsebseb, (the damn you refered to you beating me to the correct answer by one line of chat :)) [20:17] mzz: i see there is a page for reading up on diffirences :-) lol === yoni is now known as CrAzYoNi [20:17] themiddleman: I think you just got the name of the package wrong.

It looks like its uninstall script fails [20:18] edbian: "subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status" [20:18] Can anyone think of a reason that only part of my .XCompose file seems to work? [20:18] sebsebseb, I actually had to look up where it lived, I have it bound to [flag key] + T so I never use the menu to find it :) [20:18] Seveas: you can get a few programs for that from the Ubuntu repo by the way [20:18] edbian: nope, it is correct [20:18] sebsebseb: heh [20:19] sebsebseb im installing banshee right now [20:19] mzz: themiddleman: I stand corrected.

[20:19] i've got speaker-test -Dplug:surround51 -c6 -l1 -twav playing all channels, but when i play music i can't get it to play out the rear speakers (pulse audio and audigy2) [20:19] jet: iirc it plays music and may also sync your zune [20:19] edbian: /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: numptyphysics is broken or not fully installed [20:19] themiddleman: or is it: "sudo apt-get install -f" I can't remember [20:19] jet: it might work if your lucky, but I got a feeling it won't be as simple as just using Banshee, because it's a Microsoft Zune, and Microsoft don't exactly like opensource/freesoftware, in fact it's there only real proper competitor, it even scares them at times [20:19] themiddleman: try "sudo apt-get install -f" [20:19] skypilot: I think I saw the pulseaudio wiki mention that, but I don't know if it applies to ubuntu. [20:19] the -f is "fix" [20:20] !dvd [20:20] 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 [20:20] jet: well and Google is there big competition as well, and they use opensource/freesoftware here and there [20:20] mzz thanks [20:20] !deeveedee [20:20] Sorry, I don't know anything about deeveedee [20:20] edbian: http://pastebin.com/d40a768f2 [20:20] skypilot: http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/FAQ#IhaveasurroundsoundcardbutPulseAudiousesjustthefrontspeakers but you should definitely ask for a second opinion, I'm not familiar with ubuntu's pulse setup [20:21] i have to get th zune software running somewhere like it would in doze [20:21] my ubuntu is giving me the silent treatment. i upgraded my mobo and the first time i booted it up, it played sound but at a low volume. now i get no sound at all. i did asoundconf set Intel (it was the only one on my asoundconf -list). my soundcard is azailia (http://usa.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=3&l2=11&l3=563&l4=0&model=2068&modelmenu=1) [20:21] for softwar updates and whatnot [20:21] mzz, thanks, also, i just got it to work with OSS, should i just settle for that, or is there a real benefit for getting pulseaudio working? [20:21] themiddleman: it's also possible the uninstall script is just broken, but I don't know how to sanely recover from that [20:21] jet: how much RAM do you have? [20:21] skypilot: I'm not sure anymore. [20:21] 2 gig [20:21] Guys, in http://www.binonabiso.com/en/Ubuntu-miniRAM-HOWTO.html they speak of a "custom" install, is that still possible? I was never asked to press enter [20:21] themiddleman: try installing the app completely: sudo aptitude install numptyphysics [20:21] themiddleman: Then remove it [20:21] mzz, lol thanks [20:21] jet: ok good I think you can virtual machine Windows inside Ubuntu for your Zume [20:22] jet: there is also bound to be a way to get them working with Linux, but it's probably tricky [20:22] themiddleman: It is odd that there error is that the icon cache file DOES exist [20:22] skypilot: it may be a bit of a hassle to get rid of it completely on an ubuntu system (it integrates in a couple of places afaik). [20:22] edbian: its not in the repo but I will install it [20:22] skypilot: and in some cases it may actually be useful, especially if you're on a laptop with multiple outputs or ever want to output over the network. [20:22] themiddleman: ok [20:22] i think i tried that once before..... if banshee isnt the answer ill work with the virtual machine [20:22] i have a problem, when i delete a folder from /opt, the space that this folder take does not return, what can i do?? is this a bug?? [20:22] Hi, I installed kubuntu-desktop on Ubuntu to test it out. now, how do I remove the extra packages? [20:22] themiddleman: You have a .deb package downloaded? Is this correct?

[20:24] edbian: thanks for the help [20:24] it will be ok when i restart? [20:24] themiddleman: Sorry I couldn't help more! Good luck! I suspect it's a poorly written package. After you install and try to remove again I would try deleting that file that is creating the error. The font cache thingy [20:24] tzolkin: that's a possibility, depending on what you deleted.

[20:39] skiwithpete: is the drve empty or wioth data ? [20:39] well I'm shrinking this one from the front, not the back, so I imagine it has to move the 250gb on it before resizing [20:39] klb_ jet rebooting does not need to be done with Linux, except for major updates, for example a new kernel [20:40] skiwithpete: you might cancel the operation and try it again, make sure that the drive is empty as that will speed up the process [20:40] erUSUL, with data [20:40] hello my name is jon .and i need to know what i need to have as far as plung-ins so i can look at tvshows that are on website's .like cbs.com and nbc.com and also hulu.com.plese somebody help me out .i may need one on one help [20:40] skiwithpete: If the drive is non-empty, it can take A Long Time, particularly over USB, even more so if it's USB 1.1. [20:40] skiwithpete: I wouldn't interrupt it while there is drive activity...you will be asking for trouble [20:40] skiwithpete: well the more data the program has to move around to do the resize the longer it takes [20:40] Guest65074: well you need Flash installed that's for sure [20:41] anyone wanna guess how long it will take?

[20:53] jet: this is the size the VM think it has, and the virtual hard disk can go up to that size, as long as you have enough pysical hard disk space for it [20:53] skiwithpete: hmm, let me think.. if you press alt+F2, do you get anything? [20:53] Evelina: Have you tried using "locate" as was suggested? [20:53] Guest65074: I don't want to pm, out of the two, erUSUL is probably your best bet [20:54] alright since the primary use of it is for zune only should 10 gig be enough? [20:54] no completely unresponsive [20:54] with updates and whatnot? [20:54] cursor won't move, no nothing happening. [20:54] jet: you can put 2TB if you want, even though you don't have that amount of psyical hard disk space [20:54] jet: 10GB for zune? that is a small mp3 collection [20:54] hay you people need to plese help me out [20:54] Screen is on, because its a litblack... but that's it [20:54] jet: it's just the size the VM thinks it has, when you do dynamically expanding [20:54] hm. [20:54] skiwithpete: closing the lid might have started the laptop trying to suspend....but half way through a resize it probably couldn't [20:54] sebsebseb: your right haha [20:55] skiwithpete: Well, I don't want to have you kill X or anything, because I don't want to make you klobber your hard drive. I'd go back to watching top for your resizer to be done, and then reboot the system from there. [20:55] skiwithpete: it sounds like something is wrong with X [20:55] jet: when you do fixed storage, then it does the acstaul virtual hard disk, the pysical file, in the size you said, hence doing dymaically expanding instead [20:55] jet: ,because then a default XP will be like well if it's SP3 about 5GB for your virtual hard disk, and it can become bigger if nessarey [20:55] DopeGhoti, thanks for your help [20:55] skiwithpete: My pleasure! [20:56] sebsebseb: cool i set it at 100gig dynamic. i hav a half full 80gig zune [20:56] its guys like you that make Ubuntu awesome [20:56] Evelina: Any progress? [20:56] ok i am having a problem with suspending my computer. when i have my graphics card drivers activated, the system freezes when i return from suspend. and when i have the drivers disabled suspend runs fine but my screen gets all snowy. [20:56] I NEED HELP PLESE [20:56] skypilot: hmm, sounds like you somehow need "Device 3" instead of the first one [20:56] jet: sure 100GB dynamic that will do it [20:56] wish I could get mine to run [20:56] !caps | Guest65074 [20:56] Guest65074: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [20:56] Guest65074: with? [20:56] mzz, maybe, but it seems to be working on all the speakers now :3 [20:56] Guest65074: Ask you question. There are 1300 people here, if the all say hi things get a bit messy. If someon can help you they will respond [20:56] well someone needs to he;lp me out [20:56] Guest65074: ask your question again [20:56] sebsebseb: im ready to install from the live cd, how do i get that up again? i have to boot it up? [20:57] anyone able to help with the wireless USB dongle [20:57] ? [20:57] jet: the Live CD???? [20:57] Ubuntu should get the vote for the #1 distro, imo. [20:57] jet: I thought you were on an Ubuntu install? [20:57] its a windows xp VLK [20:57] DopeGhoti: I connect to an ubuntu box remotely [20:57] It's the only one with a huge community and great support behind their software. [20:57] zortec: each distro has its perks :) [20:57] DopeGhoti: Yeah, but my heart goes out to Ubuntu :) [20:57] zortec: I can think of a few bad things about Ubuntu 9.04 [20:57] DopeGhoti: But I also like the vision of Mark Shuttleworth, so to each their own [20:57] zortec: I waffle between *buntu and Gentoo [20:58] ok i am having a problem with suspending my computer. when i have my graphics card drivers activated, the system freezes when i return from suspend. and when i have the drivers disabled suspend runs fine but my screen gets all snowy. [20:58] sebsebseb: my bad i meant live wondows cd lol [20:58] <[R]> jethro85: nvidia? [20:58] calwig: what are you needing assistance with? [20:58] ati [20:58] DopeGhoti: for example, i have a network where one computer connects wirelessly, and then i share that internet connection, thru a router, and other computers connect to it. So when i turn on the Main Laptop that connects wirelessly, I would just like to turn it on [20:58] jet: Live CD is a Linux and such thing, your Windows CD is just well a bootable CD that you install Windows form [20:58] does anybody know what plung ins i need to have so i can look at tv shows on cbs.com and hulu.cim.i have ubuntu linux 9.04 [20:58] zortec: I have tried locate whitout any success. [20:58] r its an ATI card [20:58] <[R]> jethro85: crappy closed source proprietary drivers will do that [20:58] DopeGhoti: however it goes onto the login screen and i must log in. otherwise it will not connect to the network manager [20:58] jet: so you called your VM like Windows XP? and said to do Windows and XP? and left the base memory as the default? like your meant to? [20:59] <[R]> Guest65074: flash [20:59] r is it possible to find a better driver for my graphics card? [20:59] DopeGhoti: I've never been able to get Gentoo installed. But for the major tech guy, Gentoo is perfect. [20:59] jet: and made your virtual hard disk, and now ready to install? [20:59] sebsebseb: i gave it 256mb of base memory [20:59] i will use caps if no one will pm me [20:59] sebsebseb: sure am [20:59] calwig: you can set it to autologin, or, more securely, you can work on setting up some commmandline scripts to run and to put them into /etc/rc.local [20:59] DopeGhoti: It does allow for extreme optimization and customization, which I understand is the biggest perk. [20:59] zortec: The problem is that all tutorials mantion the downloaded package and so on, but I installed through the recipitories and I donät know where to find the file. [20:59] jet: the base memory should be the default really [20:59] !flash | Guest65074 [20:59] Guest65074: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [20:59] jet: what kind of XP CD do you have? [20:59] r is it possible to find a better driver for my graphics card? [20:59] its a VLK from a computer shop [20:59] zortec: that and its fansastic package management, which is as good as apt, and in some respects, better [21:00] Guest65074: you have no right on our help, be kind and we will help you gladly [21:00] jet: what does VLK mean? [21:00] volume licence key [21:00] Evelina: I thought you were trying to locate the file, you have several commands that you can use: find, locate, whereis, grep, one of those should be able to track the file down [21:00] jethro85: which graphic card ? [21:00] jet: ok I guess it will work, some versions won't work [21:00] <[R]> jethro85: there is only the open source one or the crappy closed source one... and if you are going to bother attemping to say my nick... please say the whole thing so i can actually notice it [21:00] I just installed ubuntu and after reboot I'm at a grub command line. Do I need to tell it where to boot from as it is not on my main drive? [21:00] erUSUL its an ATI is there a way to check the model number? [21:00] jet: put it in and start the vm, and do the first run wizard and install [21:01] jet: it's pretty impressive how fast XP can install in a virtual machine [21:01] sebsebseb: i mount the cd rom driv to it first right? [21:01] DopeGhoti: I prefer aptitude, though I know most people go with apt-get because it is easier to type [21:01] jethro85: system>adminstration>hardware drivers [21:01] torroth: it should pass through GRUB automagically; did you press anything when the GRUB screen came up? [21:01] jet: yep you can do that in the settings or on the first run wizard [21:01] is flash free [21:01] torroth: did grub [21:01] First few times yea but I let it set for like 2 min and nothing [21:01] zortec: I was mainly talking about the whole apt subsystem itself, whether the interface be dpkg, apt-get, aptitude, or Synaptic :) [21:01] Guest65074: free as in price, but free as in freedom no [21:01] torroth: did grub emit any error message ? [21:01] hello. How do I display in-body images in evolution? [21:02] no messages. it just sat at teh command prompt [21:02] sebsebseb: awesome! i have an install screen [21:02] DopeGhoti: i set it on autologin, and it does log in [21:02] erUSUL it says ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver [21:02] then what will i need to have that is free [21:02] torroth: very weird... [21:02] jet: NTFS and NTFS quick rather than standard yep [21:02] jethro85: did you enabled it ? [21:02] sebsebseb: alright [21:03] erUSUL it is enabled but it causes my system to freeze when i return from suspend === jason is now known as Guest79404 [21:03] Guest65074: gnash is a free as in freedom alternative to flash [21:03] zortec: Yes, I know, but I still can't find the file. Strange. [21:03] torroth: maybe you presed some key to get into the command promt ? can you press esc to get to the manu again or something ? [21:03] erUSUL i was wondering if there is a fix or a different driver i could use [21:03] !freedom | Guest65074 [21:03] Guest65074: freedom is important. Ubuntu is as free as we can make it, which means mostly free software. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/licensing [21:03] Evelina: I'm really surprised you haven't located the file yet... are you sure it exists? [21:03] calwig: Please put everything you are saying on one line; it's a lot easier to parse that way. [21:04] No. esc takes me to a screen with a list of find commands [21:04] help config ati all in wonder 9600 please [21:04] !ati | rafanet [21:04] rafanet: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [21:04] [R] how do i get the other driver for my graphics card that you metnioned [21:04] jethro85: you can aalways try envyng... but that has its own issues... [21:04] <_Space_Case_> can anybody help getting kaffeine to watch digital tv i have a hauppauge 950q usb tv tuner but cant get any channels to show up in kaffeine.. [21:04] jethro85: maybe the suspen hang can be avoided in some other way... let me check [21:04] #ubuntu has 1379 [21:05] er [21:05] wrong channel :( [21:05] kinks: what are you, a spy? [21:05] :P [21:05] sebsebseb: it installs reall fast [21:05] <[R]> jethro85: under the hardware drivers option you had to have activated the proprietary driver in the first place... just do the same thign in reverse [21:05] DopeGhoti: ok you got a bit of my drift so ill explain again, when i turn on the main computer, i would like for it to log in automatically, so autologin, but the login requires a password ( i believe ) so the privileges to log in come into effect. And I have to wait for the login screen, and then log in manually, [21:05] jet: indeed :) [21:05] not quite, someone just wanted an example of a huge freenode channel [21:05] sebsebseb: 80% [21:05] ok [21:05] kinks: ah ok :) [21:05] ok I found gnashnow will it work and play the tv shows that i want to look at on hulu.com and cbs.com nbc .com [21:05] kinks: I thought you were going to list all the users off in the chan [21:05] DopeGhoti: so i would like for the login to take effect automatically as if i was login in with my normal username, and password [21:06] ...no [21:06] <[R]> Guest65074: you pretty much usually need adobe flash [21:06] _Space_Case_: are you using kaffiene in gnome or kde? [21:06] that wouldn't be useful or interesting in the slightest. [21:06] [R] when i have it disabled it causes my screen to go all snowy sometimes [21:06] kinks: agreed, it would be more interesting to see if you can touch the top of your head with your elbow ;) [21:06] DopeGhoti: I already know how to add the autologin, but is there a spot to put a password or something? I used root user once and that didnt log things in properly [21:06] sebsebseb: how do you make it autocapture? [21:06] yall need to help me out.i need a real free plung in [21:06] <[R]> jethro85: huh? [21:07] So............ how restarting x in a terminal? :P [21:07] jet: in the settings I guess [21:07] calwig: system->administration->login->security 'auto login'. Does that work? [21:07] calwig: that's because you don't/shouldn't log in directly as root. [21:07] Trijntje: will try again [21:07] Guest65074: have you tried gnash? [21:07] DopeGhoti: right i thought so [21:07] <_Space_Case_> gnome [21:07] zortec: ..or any part of your head [21:07] [R] the when i dont have the proprietary driver activated my screen gets all snowy and staticy [21:07] will gnash work [21:08] for what i want [21:08] Triijntje Guest65074 is a newbie obviously and it's not helpful to confuse him with Gnash, and Adobe Flash is better than Gnash and Swfdec for Flash support [21:08] <[R]> jethro85: well then i guess you have to make a deicsion if you want the thing thats not working now and remove the drivers... olr keep the drivers and don't get the thing you want [21:08] yes i am a newbiie [21:08] Guest65074: you need to get Adobe Flash working, recently some people have had issues with doing this [21:08] calwig: What precisely is it that you do on login that gets your laptop routing? [21:08] [R] the thing that i want to work is the suspend function and i really need that to work because this is a laptop [21:08] well im out for a bit. i have alot to do to bring the VM up to snuff [21:08] !flash | Guest65074 [21:08] Guest65074: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [21:09] sebsebseb: thanks [21:09] jet: by the way #vbox [21:09] sebsebseb: I thougt he didnt want to use flash because its not free as in freedom, I told him to use flash first ofcource [21:09] is there an alternative suspend mode or power management software? [21:09] <[R]> jethro85: well you can try googling about suspend with your laptop... maybe there is a hardware specific quirk you need to enable [21:09] Trijntje: no he is newbie, so he dosan't even know what that means I expect [21:09] jethro85: edit /etc/default/acpi-support and add fglrx (the ati module) to the MODULES list (line 86 in my version) for example it should look like MODULES="fglrx" [21:10] DopeGhoti: absolutely nothing because the nm-applet has the wifi credentials so as soon as i log in the nm authenticates and its online, but on root (or in this case autologin with my username) it doesnt work, or perhaps i just need to try again, I just thought that unless a password is typed manually, a username wont do the trick for the keyring (or authentication) [21:10] libpam0 [21:10] _Space_Case_: the reason i asked is kaffeine will not scan channels in gnome for some reason, it is a pain to get it right as kaffeine uses a different channels conf file than what is put out by scan try using me-tv [21:10] !module libpam0 [21:10] Sorry, I don't know anything about module libpam0 [21:10] So............ how to restarting x(grapics) in a terminal when running a desktop enviroment and xorg?? :P [21:10] !module libpam [21:10] Sorry, I don't know anything about module libpam [21:11] is there a way to delete all system logs on ubuntu [21:11] <_Space_Case_> me-tv in the universe?

I used Ubuntu reciptories and all places I have seen anything about the file name is at different kind of tutorials. [21:11] delly: Ctrl+alt+backspace should do it [21:11] Brando753: sudo rm -r /var/log [21:11] is that all the logs? unlike windows which has a lot of hidden info [21:11] <[R]> _Space_Case_: use? [21:11] Trijntje, you know.... there is a reason i ask <.< [21:11] calwig: it sounds like what you really need to do is script your wifi connection and put it in rc.local [21:11] zortec: I'm sure I have installed it though, because I do find the configuration file. [21:12] <_Space_Case_> mplayer to watch digital tv [21:12] Evelina: FYI, since you keep calling it reciptories, it's repositories. I'm not sure if you knew that. [21:12] _Space_Case_: yes you can use mplayer but you need a channels conf file in mplayers .conf dir [21:12] Trijntje, i got dontzap disabled along with the lines in xorg... a game crashed killed my x proper display [21:12] DopeGhoti: yeah thru wpa_supplicant and all that? [21:12] <[R]> _Space_Case_: you'll have to check the mplayer documenation if you want to know what it is capable of [21:12] can anyone help and see why i am getting errors when trying to compile a driver: http://pastebin.com/m260a05d4 [21:12] erUSUL there are several lines that say modules, which one should i edit?

[21:15] i installed ubuntu 9.04 in raid with the alternate cd, when i rebooted it sayd "no operating system installed" [21:15] mzz: I solved the problem - When I removed old sound card, ALSA automatically made onboard one default. Now my sound works! Thank you very much for help [21:15] is this a grub problem? [21:15] what can i do? [21:15] I installed the first plugin on the list that firefox recommended. [21:15] QUESTION: If I've already installed ubuntu with gnome, can i change the desktop enviroment to Xfce later on? [21:15] Or rather the packet manager. [21:15] kunji: yes okay [21:16] Ridpojken: yes [21:16] yes Ridpojken [21:16] Trijntje: i used ctrl+alt+F10 to get into the underling shell, logged on myself in a shell there, killed the app, and resumed to xorg which lead to my display fucked(reboot fixes it, but i want a easier fix in case it happens again). [21:16] Ridpojken: yes, there is a kubuntu-desktop package for KDE, and xubuntu-desktop package for XFCE [21:16] DopeGhoti: ok sure, and when it is wpa2 credentials with username and password is it also possible? [21:16] Who can help me with grub? [21:16] kunji: let me have a search about to see if anyone is experiencing the same problem [21:16] zozoI use the reciptories, there are more programs there than in the old repositories. ;) No, I'm sorry, I am not speaking english, I meant the repositories. [21:16] n0 [21:16] calwig: I believe so. [21:16] zortec: That was meant for you. [21:16] learning: sounds like it hasn't partitioned properly [21:17] hmm [21:17] Evelina: Ah. :) [21:17] delly: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Restart_X [21:17] Evelina: Where are you from if you don't mind me asking? [21:17] DopeGhoti: I can't find it in synaptic! [21:17] i made 2 partitions ext4 and then i configured raid0 [21:17] DopeGhoti: Ill google then [21:17] need a script that is able to show me information regarding my movies recorded by sony videocamera: recorded date, resolution etc - anyone??? [21:17] learning: Ext4 on RAID as well hmm [21:17] zortec: No, the config file only points to the templat and output directory, and I cand fins any planet.py file there. The documentation found using Google is very poor. [21:17] learning: Ext4 can be a little dodgy in 9.04 depends [21:18] i also tried ext3 but it was the same [21:18] Daniel_copenhage: You would have better luck I would think for writing scripts on the forums than in an irc room, just a thought [21:18] always getting no operating system installed [21:18] Ridpojken: try at the commandline, apt-cache search xubuntu-desktop. Does it find it? [21:18] learning: could be a bad RAID [21:18] Paddy_NI: Well then I was having this problem so I also tried the adobe one. I think what I have is integrated graphics Intel 82855. [21:18] sebsebseb: is there a good manual? i'll try again [21:18] <_Space_Case_> what is the difference between ext3 and ext4 format? [21:18] !install | learning [21:18] learning: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues - Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [21:18] !intel | kunji [21:18] kunji: Ubuntu 9.04 has a known regression for some Intel graphics support. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/IntelPerformance and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130582 for more information. [21:19] DopeGhoti: Ill google for the autologin i mean, I'll try the "Enable Automatic Login" and then set the nm-applet once it automatically logs in, then reboot, allow it again to autologin, see results, and see what can be done [21:19] <[R]> _Space_Case_: there are tons of websites that explain whats new in ext4 [21:19] kunji: okay so I think you would need to remove the first plugin it recommended and try using just the adobe flash 10 plugin [21:19] yupp, that did the trick. Not exactly what i wanted, but meh it worked. [21:19] zortec, I know but problem is I know the video information has a special word - cannot remember what ist called [21:19] anyone here recommend a good xmms frontend similar in appearance/function to winamp? [21:19] calwig: good luck! [21:19] anyone know how to remove the "change session" and "change language" options from gdm (the login screen) [21:19] _Space_Case_: Ext4 has much faster boot up than Ext3, and it's better with bigger files. However it's not 100% stable or whatever in Ubuntu 9.04, because they don't have at least 2.6.30 kernel [21:19] Daniel_copenhage: special word? [21:20] Paddy_NI:How do I remove the first plugin? [21:20] So............ how do i just kill x and keep the apps running then? [21:20] _Space_Case_: Ext4 will be the default file system in the next Ubuntu though, and people need to clean install Ubuntu for full support [21:20] zortec: This is strange too, on planetplanet homepage it says that Planet only need python-bdb, but aotitude can't find any package named python-bdb. Is it the python istelf? [21:20] zonum, the info you recieve from the movies are called something [21:20] Daniel_copenhage: I think the word is 'metadata'? [21:20] _Space_Case_: since the Ext3 to Ext4 conversion isn't that good [21:20] Ohhh Yes thats it thanks :-) [21:20] kunji: well I am having difficulty in identifying what its name is.. just a moment. [21:20] zortec: "Planet requires Python 2.2 or greater installed on your system. It requires only python-bdb, everythingelse is included in the Planet distribution. " [21:20] Daniel_copenhage: cheers :) [21:20] DopeGhoti: that i will need :) going to try it now, and be right back [21:21] exit [21:21] any ideas as to why jaunty suddenly lost all evidence of having ethernet card? [21:21] kunji: type "about:plugins" into the firefox address bar without the quotes [21:21] antti: i suspect a crime [21:21] <[R]> antti: define "suddently" [21:21] <[R]> suddenly* [21:21] DopeGhoti, thanks - you saved me a lot of time :-) [21:21] Evelina: Search on google for that package name and see if you can find out anything. [21:21] antti: happend on update to 9.04 or some random time after? [21:21] Daniel_copenhage: my pleasure [21:21] a very good day to the room [21:21] kunji: tell me what is written under "Shockwave Flash". [21:22] [R]: Happened suddenly a in after a reboot earlier today. I can't recall if there was any autoupdates before that [21:22] how can i install a tar.gz file [21:22] <[R]> antti: and so it doesnt show up in ifconfig -a? [21:22] Paddy_NI: I think this is the offendor: application/futuresplash [21:22] earlier all was workign fine, after reboot, no NIC discovered by Jaunty [21:22] utimothy: tar -xvzf "file" [21:22] <[R]> utimothy: you extract it and the nfollow the directions [21:23] utimothy: you don't you unpack it [21:23] utimothy: from the cli :) [21:23] What's the command to find my IP? [21:23] antti [21:23] GilJ: ifconfig [21:23] utimothy: that is a compressed archive you need to extract it and look for a read me or install instructions === _Apple_ is now known as _Mrs [21:23] ?? [21:23] Paddy_NI: there is that and the adobe plugin. [21:23] and nope, doesn't show up in ifconfign anymore [21:23] lukas57: ?? [21:23] only lo and wlan0 [21:23] kunji: no futureflash is okay [21:23] DopeGhoti: I found i there [21:23] <[R]> antti: ifconfig -a? [21:23] GilJ: http://www.whatismyip.com === _Mrs is now known as _MrsApple_ [21:23] GilJ: if you are behind a router, it will show that IP though [21:23] rski: Cool, I need to check on eth0, inet addr? [21:23] kunji: what is the other one called [21:24] thanks room [21:24] Ridpojken: try this http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/xfce [21:24] Paddy_NI: The only other thing is: application/x-shockwave-flash [21:24] no sing of sustem having NIC even then [R] [21:24] sys* [21:24] <[R]> antti: sounds like the kernel module isn't being loaded [21:24] kunji: this might sound basic but have you tried logging out and back in after you installed it? [21:24] Yep, tried a full reboot too, though linux doesn't usually need it. [21:25] kunji: no normally it does not [21:25] zortec: I have found it! [21:25] ctmjr: But i can't find it in synaptic!!! [21:25] it could be, I wish I had paid more close attention to autoupdates. There was some networking related stuff lately, since nothing else has changed on system in few days [21:25] kunji: ah you are using intel graphics arent you? [21:25] :( [21:25] !intel | kunji [21:25] kunji: Ubuntu 9.04 has a known regression for some Intel graphics support. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/IntelPerformance and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130582 for more information. [21:25] I don't seem to be able to populate my "hardware drivers" list. I have an Nvidia quadro 140m in my t61 and I have uninstalled and reinstalled the nvidia packages. Any help would be appreciated [21:25] zortec: It was called planetplanet, not planet.py as a lot of blogs on the Net were calling the file. [21:26] no hardware fault anyway, as on other OS's the NIC is discovered/works fine [21:26] zortec: Ubuntu manpages (ubuntu.com) gave ma the right name of the file. [21:26] I've been wondering if it might be possible to use debootstrap or something similar to run a sort of partial ubunutu system in my home directory on systems where I just have a user account. Anyone know of anything like that? [21:26] zortec: Thanks for all help anyway. [21:27] DopeGhoti: Any ideas why i cant find it in synaptic? [21:27] Paddy_NI: Yeah, no choice, old laptop. I'm trying to read those pages, it could take me a little while. I'll ask again if I can't figure it out, thanks. [21:28] Ridpojken: I'm not sure; let me see if it's in my Synaptic [21:28] kunji: no problem mate.. good luck [21:28] hmmhmm, I do have older kernel still available on system, gotta try booting into it [21:28] 65.38.11.116 [21:28] Ridpojken: do you have the 'universe' repos listed in Synaptic? [21:29] DopeGhoti: hhmm, not sure, i'll have a look [21:30] DopeGhoti: Don't think so [21:30] Ridpojken: that might explain it. :) [21:30] DopeGhoti: I'm a noob at this, i'm a win geek =) [21:31] what are the consequences of unplugging a mounted truecrypt volume without unmounting it? [21:31] DopeGhoti: How do i install it then? =) [21:31] Just tried another reboot and didn't touch it for 5min and I'm still at the grub command prompt [21:31] Ridpojken: we'll Enlighten you yet :) If you wish to get the package installed from the command-line, use the command: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop [21:31] help me [21:32] !ask | Arcolinux [21:32] Arcolinux: 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. :-) === hDy` is now known as hDy [21:32] DopeGhoti: Hate terminals, thats why i use windows =) [21:32] but i'll do it === max is now known as Guest80677 [21:33] any wireless experts around? [21:33] Ridpojken: I prefer them, so I generally don't use synaptic :) [21:33] DopeGhoti: But why wouldn't it show up i synaptic? [21:34] DopeGhoti: *in [21:34] Hi === root is now known as Guest97644 [21:34] any javascript user here? i need some help [21:34] That, I'm not sure of. It's there in my Synaptic.. Check Settings -> Repositories and make sure that everything on the first tab is checked? [21:35] What is the line I have to add to fstab in order to permanently mound sda3 as /home ? [21:35] mount* [21:35] anyone here familiar with setting ubuntu up as a router? [21:36] DopeGhoti: when the session is login in a popup saying nm-applet is asking for the password (my login password )to access the local keyring because its locked. and if its not typed nm-applet wont be able to get the credentials for the wifi to authenticate. Password must be typed always [21:36] DopeGhoti: So maybe i need to go to the passwords and somehow set the password on the nm-applet ? [21:37] Guest97644: if you do not like to edit fstab using a text editor you could install pydsm [21:37] sudo apt-get install pydsm [21:37] if i got the package name correct <.< [21:38] calwig: I don't think it's possible to automate that, for security reasons. You best best is to make it happen pre-login, though /etc/rc.local. [21:38] Guest97644: sudo apt-get install PySDM [21:39] anyone know the name of the 'appearance' window for gtk in ubuntu? [21:39] hi, I'm trying to install lighttpd on ubuntu but am getting a message saying 'zlib-headers were not found' althought i have already installed zlib, any ideas? [21:39] DopeGhoti: thats what I thought, sounds like nm-applet could be somehow automated, but ill google some more [21:39] help meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee [21:39] Guess I'll give up on ubuntu [21:39] Arcolinux: none of that, please [21:39] rodd: zlib-dev? [21:39] When I set "Update automatically" when installing the server edition, what exactly gets set? A Cronjob? [21:39] torroth: huh why ? [21:39] * Nielsen helps Arcolinux [21:40] delly, yes [21:40] i m dessesperate with that problem [21:40] torroth: what do you want help with? [21:40] I boot it up and get stuck at a grub command line and I don't touch anything [21:40] Arcolinux, which problem? [21:40] delly, zlib1g-dev [21:40] it just sits there [21:40] hmm [21:40] on grub ? [21:40] <_MrsApple_> anybody have good suggestions for laptops that work well with linux? I need one for school and i like linux better than windows. [21:40] rodd: is the problem ./bootstrap or what is it in the compile procces? [21:41] _MrsApple_, would an Eee do? [21:41] yeah. I'm told it's suppose to boot up after that but nothing happens [21:41] ./configure --with-zlib [21:41] <_MrsApple_> Nielsen whats an Eee? [21:41] _MrsApple_: i like my dell mini 9 with UNR 9.04 [21:41] <_MrsApple_> im computer illiterate [21:41] hmmm, so you have booted the live cd > installed > rebooted > grub [21:41] _MrsApple_: http://www.dell.com/ubuntu http://www.zareason.com and if in USA or Canada http://www.system76.com [21:41] and sits there ? [21:41] rodd: very well.......... open the file in ex leafpad and se if there is a obscure mess of commands at the bottom line [21:41] yes. [21:42] rodd: ./configure that is [21:42] hmmm edit the boot config from grub [21:42] press e on the ubuntu entry [21:42] _MrsApple_, http://www.google.com/search?q=eee [21:42] how? [21:42] go to grub [21:42] press e [21:42] you could also try booting with the alt disc and choosing "rescue my system" and then use that to fix grub [21:42] on the ubuntu entry [21:42] then edit the first line on it [21:42] change which partition and hdd it looks at [21:42] its probabaly missconfigured it [21:42] i don't understand why [21:42] jessica_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:43] but you can change it once you have booted into ubuntu [21:43] <_MrsApple_> mattalexx would it be under eeeuser.com? [21:43] _MrsApple_: he/she is referring to an EEEPC [21:43] _MrsApple_: I would suggest an Ubuntu Dell [21:43] that's an asus netbook [21:43] probl;em is I can't boot into ubuntu. how do i tell it what drive it's on? [21:43] i too suggest a Ubuntu Dell, i have a mini 9 running ubuntu 9.04 netbook remix and it runs great [21:44] _MrsApple_, http://eeepc.asus.com [21:44] <_MrsApple_> sebsebseb ive had bad experiences with dell. and their support team has been really rude to me before. [21:44] Nielsen: I woudn't recommend asus that much anymore, after the stuff about them saying Windows is better on the EEPC's now. [21:44] _MrsApple_: if you're going to run linux, you shouldn't have to deal with them ;) [21:44] torroth: trial and error ? [21:44] hmm, I managed to wake up ethernet card that dissapeared from system with: sudo modprobe r8169 [21:44] now how to make that persistant [21:44] torroth: or boot a ubuntu live cd go to terminal and do fdisk -l [21:44] you want it to boot the one with the boot flag on it [21:45] antti: add that module (r8169) to /etc/modules [21:45] Nielsen: some kind of deal with Microsoft I guess [21:45] <_MrsApple_> jdude oh ok lol thats good to know. [21:45] It be nice if there was a newbie guide. Is there? [21:45] adobe flash player can't find webcam in any browser...(ubuntu jaunty, cam works with ekiga and xawtv and cheese... logitech quickcam express) [21:45] <_MrsApple_> for a first time user, would linux be the easiest to use? [21:45] torroth: there are a zillion noob guides [21:45] torroth: doesn't often happen on ubuntu installs [21:45] torroth: check tldp.org [21:45] torroth: http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com [21:45] GeorgeAScott: i don't think the flash player for linux supports the webcam interface yet [21:46] torroth: the ubuntu forums and this irc is quite good though :) [21:46] ubuntu pocket guide is pretty good [21:46] _MrsApple_: depends on the user, and what they want to do on a computer, and maybe to some extent how old they are [21:46] Hi all, I have a problem with cryptsetup on ubuntu 9.04. When I do "sudo cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdf crypty" I get the error: "Command failed: Can not access device". Works fine on 8.04, what could be the cause of this? I could find nothing on this online, and i have loaded dm-crypt module [21:46] ok, another question. [21:46] HAH, i've been trying to get people in here to help me fix my routing issues for days jessica_ [21:46] how do i update graphics card [21:46] depends on the issue... [21:46] jdude... that would explain it.. grrr [21:46] joel_: what graphics card [21:46] ihave ubuntu 8.10 [21:46] jdude: whats the issue maybe i can help [21:46] GeorgeAScott: i could be wrong, but i'm about 99.9% sure [21:46] jdude: fix it yourself [21:46] th0r: ok, should be fine now I hope. I'm still puzzled over sudden change still, didn't expect jauntu to decide stop loading that module on boot [21:46] _MrsApple_: The Ubuntu Dells are rather good [21:47] bruenig: not helpful [21:47] bruenig: easy for you to say, maybe you can help! [21:47] all I can think of some recent security update blacklisted it somehow.. [21:47] antti: true...if it was working it should still be working [21:47] One of my comps on 9.04 opens menus and scrolls really slowly in Firefox [21:47] don't complain that someone else isn't doing something for you for free [21:47] jdude whats the problem [21:47] jessica_: i'm setting this box up as a router, both wired and wireless [21:47] didn't realize there was paid contractual support on here [21:47] is anyone using backtrack 4 [21:47] I need to get in on that [21:47] last time I was here someone said I should switch to the DRI drivers. [21:47] ah ok [21:47] joel_: that's off topic in here [21:47] antti: I have several modules listed in that file, but none worked before and then quit [21:47] !ot | joel_ [21:47] joel_: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [21:47] anyone know how to do that? [21:47] bruenig: i contribute, do you? [21:47] sometimes [21:47] How do you turn of auto logon for a user? [21:48] *off [21:48] jdude i can help if you have any issue's i did it with netbsd it can't be that much harder in ubuntu (if not eaiser) [21:48] I certainly don't get any help, so my contribution to leech ratio leads to division by zero [21:48] _MrsApple_: Ubuntu isn't that difficult, of course a little learning curve like most OS's [21:48] anyone help me? [21:48] Ridpojken: system->administration->login->security 'auto login'. Does that work? [21:48] Ridpojken: you use the login manager, system-administration-login window [21:48] My computer crashes whenever I fills the ram. Any ideas? [21:48] sebsebseb: ubuntu can be difficult it depends what your trying to do [21:48] 1 Gig [21:48] th0r: that ethernet card module never was in modules file before. So earlier that module was loaded up otherwise [21:49] there it was! tnx! [21:49] how doi update graphics driver for ubuntu 8.10 [21:49] guys how can i upgrade my libgtk on gnome 8.10? i have to use winff and it only works with an most up to date version of the libgtk that i own.. what can i do?? [21:49] I have a png file that I want to use as an icon, can someone tell me how to get this in usable format for ubuntu? [21:49] orsonj: run memcheck in the grub menu [21:49] orsonj: make sure there is enough swap space and that swap is enabled [21:49] joel_: why? just use one from the repo? [21:49] joel_: how ya installed them? [21:49] logic: compile it [21:49] it looks as if ubuntu only uses svgs for icons :( [21:49] can someone help me switch video drivers, I'd liek to enable the DRI driver instead of the ATI driver that's currently being used [21:49] well, good chance it'll work again I'd assume [21:49] Hi guys!What are your recommendations on programming under Ubuntu?Which language? Which IDE? ( I'm an old fashioned VB, GUI guy) [21:49] People say Ubuntu is easy, but that's not that true. I mean, I use the terminal a lot, doesn't make it easy. Of course if you're dependent on the GUI, it'll be easier in any Linux distribution you use [21:49] th0r: it slows to a halt when it starts using swap. [21:49] logic: be careful not to clobber the existing gtk [21:50] joel_: or have you installed drivers at all? [21:50] can someone tell me how to convert a picture to a usable ubuntu icon? [21:50] antti: there was a new kernel pushed out the other day .. 28-14...it caused me some problems and might be the cause of your issue as well. Might take that module out of /etc/modules for a bit and boot into an earlier kernel and see if it loads automatically [21:50] hmm.. having trouble with TV out on a via chipset on WinXP (presently).. wondering where I could ask about such a thing [21:50] FrankQC: depends on the user how easy it is or not, and what kind of help they are getting [21:50] does anyone know of a website where I can find info about switching the DRI driver on? [21:50] _MrsApple_, http://eeepc.asus.com/global/index.html [21:50] bruenig: ok, nevermind:) [21:50] orsonj: well, if you don't have any swap file and you fill the ram, the system will probably crash [21:50] sebsebseb: So if Ubuntu was very easy, no help would be required. [21:50] _MrsApple_: netbooks are good for travlling and that's about it [21:50] ugh stupid irc client [21:50] KavanS, i use convert from the imagemagick package [21:51] All the folks talking about how "easy" linux isn't are forgetting about how many people are also wailing for assistance in Windowsland. [21:51] Nielsen, to what format? [21:51] Kanvans: As far as I know It should be in *.svg format? and stored in /usr/share/pixmaps [21:51] Nielsen, I can't seem to find any formats other than svg... [21:51] hi - is someone using ehcp? i have difficulties, i have registered domain that points too forwards too my server, but the control panel is showing when i visit the http://myhomepage.com .. why isn't it showing custum index? [21:51] linux != ubuntu [21:51] KavanS: make it in .pgn [21:51] oh guys, do we have a sort of windows media maker clone here on ubuntu? [21:51] linux == kernel [21:51] FrankQC: well that's a bit like saying, if Windows was easy and good, most users would know how to keep their installs secure enough, and most don't [21:51] KavanS: then you can use it as a icon [21:51] delly, it's already in png format... [21:51] th0r: I tried rolling kernel back a bit already, but that changed nothing. Actually I'm in little older kernel at the moment [21:51] KavanS: O.o [21:51] antti: was just a thought [21:51] th0r, I did that once.. filled the RAM with no swap on.. Acronis hosed the swap partition's UUID...didn't notice until it was too late [21:51] KavanS, png or xpm... [21:51] is there an easy GUI way to switch to the DRI video driver? [21:52] antti: I try to avoid them but every now and then one sneaks in [21:52] yeah I already have a png file... [21:52] th0r: it behaves the same whether or not I have swap enabled. The system stops responding and the disk just sits there and thrashes. [21:52] tried to manually select it and it could not locate it [21:52] sebsebseb: Meh, I have no troubles with Vista. People always complain about Vista and I haven't had a problem with it.. Maybe it's just me being good at problem solving and searching things on the Internet [21:52] logic: yep can't remember what it's called, but you can find out on http://www.osalt.com and http://www.linuxeq.com as well I think [21:52] KavanS: then we have a major problem, hit *.* in file selection thingy maybe? [21:52] th0r: yeps, was logical thing to try that. Even if this now works again, I'm still curious to find out what broke in first place :) [21:52] orsonj: sounds like the swap partition might be trashed [21:52] Hi, Im having a wierd problem when i try to install tor by the instructions given from their site. [21:52] FrankQC: yeah I haven't had any proper problems with Vista either, and I also haven't booted up my install since some time last year :) [21:53] When I set "Update automatically" when installing the server edition, what exactly gets set? A Cronjob? [21:53] antti: I would check the logs (messages, dmesg, kernel.log, etc)...but not sure if it would show anything [21:53] How do i turn Xfce to my standard desktop? [21:53] mattalexx: probably. [21:53] sebsebseb: Mm.. being good w/ computers saves a lot of time. [21:53] Devcoder: what is your problem? [21:53] Ridpojken: do you have xfce installed? [21:53] sebsebseb: have you ever used one of those programs? avidemux, cinelerra, virtual dub, kino..? [21:53] I used partimage to backup a 40GB partition, and got a 5GB file (which is normal since there is only 5GB occupied space on that one). Now I tried to restore the partition on a 10GB one, and partimage complains about it to be too small. I read on the web that it was normal. What tool can I use to do that ? [21:53] th0r: yes [21:53] delly, NICE, thanks...now I can have an xp icon for my virtual box "go" icon :) [21:53] Im supposed to use the command "gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv 94C09C7F" [21:53] Vista, vista, vista. Big chance i will have to boot into it next week <.< i have spent 2 months without using the bloat crap with hidden buttons [21:53] jessica_: you have used kino? [21:53] I have a question... anyone here use a BlackBerry with linux? [21:53] Guys I was wondering why it says "Permission denied, please try again." when I connect to my Ubuntu SSH Server. I created an account, set the password and put the user in the AllowUsers list in /etc/ssh/sshd_config [21:53] KavanS: Just nice to help :D [21:53] FrankQC: indeed and we are off topic [21:54] sebastien: yes [21:54] Ridpojken: then at the login screen choose Session and pick xfce. When it asks, make xfce your default [21:54] * sebsebseb [21:54] Ridpojken: edit your DM or ~/.xinitrc [21:54] jessica_: help logic I guess [21:54] sebsebseb: lol, at least we're talking about computers [21:54] GilJ: any firewall running? [21:54] th0r: besides, IRC connections still act strange under ubuntu for me, and not on any other OS. So need to poke around more any way [21:54] Glipper is acting weirdly. [21:54] <_MrsApple_> sebsebseb do you own a laptop? [21:54] jdude: On my Server? I don't think so, I just freshly installed it. [21:54] When I log in, it tells me that the applet couldn't be started. [21:54] th0r: The thing is, it didn't ask! [21:54] ah [21:54] <_MrsApple_> what about you mattalexx? [21:54] Then I kill gnome-panel (it restarts) and it appears all well. [21:54] Any suggestions? [21:54] Trijntje but i get an error saying that its unsure on who owns the gpg.conf file [21:55] Ridpojken: it didn't ask to make it the default? [21:55] sebsebseb: i didn't say i used it a lot [21:55] th0r: no.. [21:55] _MrsApple_: only a very old one, and if I was to buy one, I would get a Macbook Pro I think, even though much more expensive than PC lap tops, and I am not exactly an OS X fan, because of limited usage and so on [21:55] DopeGhoti, btw, using top, looks like X has had a lot of actvity, so you must be right that that is what crashed to cause my black screen [21:55] Ridpojken: you are using gdm? gnome? [21:55] _MrsApple_: ,but that's some fine hardware, to run Linux on as well [21:56] _MrsApple_, I have two at the moment. They are both in a million pieces ;-) [21:56] skiwithpete: I thought it might be something like that. The resizer still going? [21:56] _MrsApple_, Laptops, not Eees [21:56] yeah resizer is still going [21:56] th0r: i was [21:56] _MrsApple_: EEPC's and other netbooks are good for travlling and that's about it really [21:56] _MrsApple_: you will probably want a more standard sized lap top really [21:56] DopeGhoti, yeah resizer is still going, assume it will take ages [21:57] I can play my favorite videogame on my netbook. [21:57] th0r: NP, it worked out [21:57] sorry my irc client keeps crashing [21:57] jdude: can you pm me again [21:57] The trackpad sucks, but I use a mouse with it anyways [21:57] im jessica_lilly btw [21:57] or jessica_ [21:57] or w/e my nick was [21:57] _MrsApple_: you might have had bad expereince with the Windows Dell's, but the Ubuntu ones are good [21:57] xray7224: sure [21:57] I need help trying to change my video driver [21:57] Trijntje any idéa m8? [21:57] anyone know how? [21:58] skiwithpete: edit xorg.conf [21:58] I got a Dell Mini10v, shipped with ubuntu 8.04 LTS, using Dell's personal repos. [21:58] and make sure the driver you want to use is installed [21:58] my xorg.conf is empty [21:58] I put 9.04 UNR on it :D [21:58] Anyone use the netbook version of 9.04 yet? [21:58] jdude: It also says Permission Denied when I connect from on the machine with ssh localhost [21:58] DWonderly, yeah, it's nice [21:58] If I'm SSH'd into my computer, is there a way I can make a popup appear in the GUI? [21:58] a nice monospaced font? [21:58] GilJ: how did you set it up? via apt? or a .deb pkg or what? [21:58] Devcoder:That is strange, which version of ubuntu are you using? [21:59] Trijntje latest stable [21:59] 9.4 i think [21:59] Anyone else know about autologin :) [21:59] jdude: apt-get install openssh-server [21:59] Bob_Dole I just got an Acer AspireOne... also, has anyone had any luck with blackberry on Ubuntu? [21:59] Mion, can you post a sample xorg.conf using the DRI driver? [21:59] DWonderly, Not sure if AspireOne is compatible. Nor do I own such a fancy device as the blackberry. [21:59] Devcoder: can you be precise on what you did and what error you get? [21:59] What do you mean, "Blackberry on Ubuntu"? [22:00] GilJ: did it generate a key and all? [22:00] skiwithpete: there is no DRI driver [22:00] Could someone tell me a nice monospaced font? [22:00] QUESTION: Why isn't averything in Xfce swedish? At the top; "Applications" and "Places" are still there [22:00] Trijntje im PMing you the lin [22:00] join #ubuntu.it [22:00] jdude: When I connect to it via the ssh command? Yep, and I accepted it [22:00] I've fitted out various AAO machines with Ubuntu 9.04. Works well. [22:00] Ridpojken: I thought I recognized pojken [22:00] Trijntje and after i tried it several times i used an sudo chmod 777. [22:00] Ridpojken: du vill ha I svenska :) you want in Swedish :) [22:00] calwig: if you are still running gnome, its hidden somewhere in its menus. [22:00] Mion, what am i confusing it with? I have an ATI Mobility and the driver that is currently being used sucks, and I need to change it [22:01] Scaine Syncing my bb [22:01] Mion, it was working great under 8.04 [22:01] GilJ: and you're sure there's nothing running like ufw? [22:01] delly: all good sentences, you said [22:01] skiwithpete: exactly what card do you have? [22:01] thor; sebseb: haha [22:01] is someone savy on nameservers and managing a domain & webserver? im trying too use ehcp [22:01] testing from leafychat [22:01] Ridpojken: when you install you should have selected Swedish as the langauge, but you can change later, also really the only true computer language is English really [22:01] Mion, remind me of the comand to find out [22:01] @Dwonderly: Right, syncing. No, never tried that, I'm afraid. Our blackberry (at work) sync over the air [22:01] is there any good way to separate sshd logins/attempts for syslog? [22:01] lspci [22:02] We use BES, so syncing with the PC, never an issue. [22:02] jdude Leme check trough "top" [22:02] sebsebseb: there are those who would say that the only true computer language is binary :) [22:02] sebsebseb: Hey, my mother is going to be the user of this computer u know =) [22:02] GilJ: k [22:02] sebsebseb: duck! [22:02] ATI dropped a lot of support for cards in the only driver/s that work on ubuntu 9.04. [22:02] Even fairly recent cards like the Radeon X1600 [22:02] Bob_Dole: fortunately newer versions of the open driver are pretty good [22:03] i'm trying too forward my ns1.
too my ip, but it doesn't make sence for me :( [22:03] jdude :$ How do I scroll down in top =/ never needed it xD [22:03] Mion, ATI Radeon Mobility M6 LY [22:03] Bob_Dole: i think the legacy drivers are starting to work [22:03] Bob_Dole: I don't know how large the range of cards is that really doesn't work well with the open driver and is no longer supported by the closed one [22:03] skiwithpete: use the free ati driver [22:03] Scaine righto.... okay off to DL and install 9.04 on my netbook [22:03] Ridpojken: join #ubuntu-se [22:03] Ridpojken: you can ask there and so on [22:03] Bob_Dole, not sure what you mean [22:03] GilJ: just use system monitor [22:03] Mion, I think that's what I am using, and it's really slow and laggy [22:03] GilJ: forget about top for now [22:04] jdude: It's non graphical :D [22:04] Dwonderly, you should try the custom kernel for the AAO once you're fully installed. [22:04] GilJ: lol i was typing "unless all you have is CL" [22:04] Will get the link. [22:04] skiwithpete: well, the card is slow when it comes to anything 3d [22:04] Skiwithpete A lot of ATI Cards just don't work with the closed source driver after the switch to ubuntu 9.04, and the old driver/s aren't compatible with the new Xorg version. [22:04] Bob_Dole, is there a solution? [22:05] !pastebin > GilJ [22:05] GilJ, please see my private message [22:05] skiwithpete, the open source driver, which is getting better, but isn't great with every card that dropped support. You can also stick with 8.04 [22:05] sebsebseb: Yeah, I know, but since this is a much bigger channel, it's easier to get answers. I don't think this is a problem that always happens to swedish users, it might be the same for italiens and germans =) [22:05] Mion, I'm saying its slow just on the Gnome interface, and skippy playing youtube vids, let along 3d [22:05] jdude: htop, htop htop! [22:05] skiwithpete: glxinfo [22:05] and check the xorg log [22:05] Ridpojken: yeah I know, but I could of had some fun talking to you in Swedish in there :) [22:05] sounds like you are using vesa [22:05] there you go [22:06] the Flash Plugin and linux have issues. The flash plugin runs -much- slower on every ubuntu system I've tried (4 now) than it does on windows. [22:06] Mion, sorry, you'll need to be more explicit [22:06] sebsebseb: haha, you are an easy one to entertain =) [22:06] I'm a noob [22:06] What suggestions would you give for securing Ubuntu? Samba? SSH? network in general? [22:06] Bob_Dole: known issue, for sure... [22:06] jdude, we are talking 10-20x more resource useage on flash under non-windows systems [22:06] skiwithpete: less /var/log/Xorg.0.log [22:06] delly: i know this? [22:07] Bob_Dole, even opening menus is slow [22:07] see what driver it's trying to use [22:07] jdude, he mentioned ubuntu being skippy. Not videocard, but the flash plugin sucking [22:07] les? [22:07] less? [22:07] skiwithpete: tis a command in linux [22:07] *its [22:07] never said anything about a video card! [22:07] *Bob_Dole, we are talking 10-20x more resource useage on flash under non-windows systems ---- sorry jdude, copypaste is a bit defect at the moment over here <.< [22:08] Are there plans to fix the flash in the next upgrade? [22:08] rufuscure, it isn't up to ubuntu, but Adobe [22:08] Adobe are working on fixing it. [22:08] jdude: Ah there's a htop package that allows you to scroll, I should get that :D [22:08] oh i see [22:08] lol === ScottG490 is now known as ScottG [22:08] Since it affects any non-windows system === Mud|afk is now known as Mud [22:08] I hope they do because it's like the only thing keeping me from using ubuntu on my main [22:08] yes!!!! GilJ [22:08] we get the feeling this isn't much of a priority over at adobe. === root is now known as Guest20063 [22:08] Ridpojken: I like to practice my Swedish writing/typing and reading which isn't that good, unlike my speaking which is nearly as good as my English. So yeah it's ashame when I am meant to be fluent. And as I said in the Swedish channel, I don't know how you would change Xubuntu from English into Swedish, I know it can be done with Gnome though. [22:09] Hi. I just set a new /home directory , & I want to know how to set it with chmod and chown so that a normal user can have his own directory [22:09] jdude: No thing called 'ufw' running [22:09] and also , I can only use the command line [22:09] Mac and linux combined make about ~10% Market share last I was looking [22:09] just to confirm, it takes ages for anything to draw on that comp [22:09] Is there a way to use wlan0 and wlan1 interfaces separately for downloading stuff? Someone once suggested using iptables but that's complicated, is there an easier way? [22:09] GilJ: ok, that means the default firewall isn't running [22:09] GilJ: pastebin the entire session from when you try to ssh connect to when it rejects, let me see what it says [22:10] mzz: it is for adobe, since the amount of non-windows user are getting more by the day. And if flash is dropped, they will lose heck of alot money, along with the fact that htlm 5 with the video tag is coming to town [22:10] yeah but html5 i thought was having issues of its own... [22:10] especially related to the video stuff... [22:10] nah [22:11] it has some problems around codec [22:11] jdude: there's a lengthy discussion-bordering-on-flamewar about the lack of having any codecs mentioned in the spec [22:11] there is a big chance that buildt inn ogg thera support will be shipped either way [22:11] ok, typed in less comman Mion what am i looking for?

[22:11] i'm guessing i'll have to do something with grub in order to get it to boot again? [22:12] skiwithpete: it should say what driver it's trying to use [22:12] Ibex server boot time: 1:20 New Jaunty server install: 1:05. Nice! [22:12] supybot`: ping [22:12] pong [22:12] jdude: http://pastebin.com/m2074aa38 [22:12] Title: pastebin - collaborative debugging tool (at pastebin.com) [22:12] sjlkg: depends on if the partitions get renumbered in the process. If they do make sure to adjust /etc/fstab and /boot/grub/menu.lst to match, then reinstall grub (I forgot the proper ubuntu way to do that) [22:12] supybot`: join ##lol [22:12] Mion: Error: You don't have the admin capability. If you think that you should have this capability, be sure that you are identified before trying again. The 'whoami' command can tell you if you're identified. [22:13] Does anyone know of a good symbolic link tutorial? [22:13] GilJ: are you logging into your own account? [22:13] sjlkg: if all goes well you don't have to edit grub after resizing you partitions. But please back up all your data first [22:13] GilJ: is that from a remote machine, or local [22:13] Hi, I just got a portable media player which cannot hotplug on jaunty. Getting an error message saying "Unprivileged user can not mount NTFS block devices using the external FUSE library." [22:13] felixsulla: man ln ? [22:13] GilJ: and do you have multi-instances for an account enabled? [22:13] no, Mion what would it look like [22:13] sjlkg: make sure you have a way to boot and mount partitions (livecd) in case something goes wrong with grub or fstab. [22:13] Trijntje, mzz: i'm going to delete a partition, so i guess the others will get renumbered ? [22:13] delly: I'm logging in into my account on a different computer, testing my SSH server [22:14] uh oh [22:14] phew [22:14] jdude: Another computer in my network is server yes [22:14] I'm perfectly willing to rebuild ntfs-3g, if someone can give me some instructions. [22:14] Does a symbolic link mean you can just run the file from any location? [22:14] sjlkg: maybe, maybe not. Iirc it depends on whether it's a primary or logical partition you're killing. [22:14] GilJ: then it got to be that that multi instante is not abled i think [22:14] sjlkg: the primary ones can have holes. [22:14] skiwithpete: it should say somethign like (II) LoadModule: "vesa" or "ati" or whatever === kaie is now known as Guest17041 [22:14] felixsulla: man ln [22:14] !java [22:14] To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository [22:14] GilJ: delly might be right [22:15] felixsulla: a simbolic link is just a file that points to another one. so when anything acces that file it is redirected to the other one [22:15] is there a "Sam Broadcaster" replacement for linux? [22:15] mzz: it's the notebooks recovery partition, it's (hd0,0) in menu.lst [22:15] Mion, loadmodule: "Radeon" [22:15] Hey, so I tried the stuff here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130582 and things are pretty much the same. [22:15] I just took a look at the system monitor though and the cpu runs up to 100% and stays there as long as I'm trying to run video, also it never seems to drop below 27%, so this could possibly by cpu related as well. [22:15] quincy: what does "Sam Broadcaster" exactly does ? [22:15] hi, does anyone knows what's the equivalent of /etc/sysconfig in ubuntu ? [22:15] sjlkg: then it depends on what the rest of your partition table looks like [22:15] jdude: delly How do I check?

[23:22] erUSUL: via the 'properties' menu you can go to details, and there you can select "export complete key" [23:22] MrHappy: no idea sorry about that [23:22] bernardlychan: sudo apt-get install unrar-free [23:22] bernardlychan: RAR's are annoying yes [23:22] I can't get GRUB to boot window, I've tried the default config and all I get is Starting up... and it hangs [23:22] no worries. will try alternative [23:22] CHeCHoV: create a folder there first [23:23] i've got unrar, is that ok? if so, how do i use it? [23:23] MrHappy: Alternative works in many cases when LiveCD wont [23:23] bernardlychan: just try and open the file normalley I think [23:23] bernardlychan: once you have it installed [23:23] doesn't work sebsebseb. how do i install it? [23:23] !rar | bernardlychan [23:23] bernardlychan: rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free [23:23] you cant right click and select extract?? I unrar and untar and unzip that way [23:23] how i can access to my network without login my pc with ubuntu?? samba only works when i loguin in my ubuntu [23:23] erSUL: I was messing around with groups and users last month. I remember I couldnt log in into ubuntu until I used the recovery and made some changes to the group file. However, I am not sure if that has something to do with APT-GET. what do you think? [23:24] arleslie: grab a boot cd called "SuperGrub" [23:24] Cry_Baby: what is the difference with the alternative version? [23:24] MrHappy: If you have any trouble with a regular release running, you can always try the tried and true stable LTS release. 8.04.3 was just released BTW. [23:24] MrHappy: alternative allows you to use text menu to install and allows you to encrypt your partition etc. [23:24] arleslie: maybe that's a good thing really for various reasons :) :D anyway you can add Windows to menu.lst gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst [23:24] Trijntje: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/seahorse/+bug/269403 [23:25] linuxguy2009: i currently have 8.10 installed and running fine [23:25] Hello [23:25] arleslie: grab a boot cd called "SuperGrub", then install Grub again using the Boot CD and it will fix it [23:25] I'm going to serve websites from /srv/www/example.com . The only user on the machine is "matt". What should the permissions be? I was thinking somethying like this: srv belongs to root, www belongs to root, and example.com belongs to matt. If there are ever any other users on the machine, their site dirs will belong to them. Sound about right?

[23:44] i cant wait for the new UXA or EXA or whatever becuz compiz just doesnt work [23:44] linuxguy2009: Wireless works fine on Jaunty on my other PC. [23:44] uex????? exa???? [23:44] loscher: that's fair. i guess i will have to stick. shame tho cos i wanted to try other flavours like Linux Mint.. [23:45] linuxguy2009: I think it might be a Jaunty issue on my specific Wi-Fi card. [23:45] erUSUL: success! thx again (about the $1 etc) [23:45] Samuel: Maybe the next kernel update in 9.10 will support it better. [23:45] linuxguy2009: But it's a really annoying problem as I'm unable to use my bittorrent PC for torrenting. [23:45] VCoolio: no problem [23:45] MrHappy: have you tried to boot mint? If all else fails, you can try them in vbox or vmware.... [23:45] linuxguy2009: I'd rather not wait 4 months to find out. [23:45] s/4/3/ [23:45] Mint is great, if ur a windows user, plus it has all the stuff u need pre installed like java and flash plus the codec support is great. ubuntu has a better irc helping comunity though mints is pritty shit. although its ubuntu anyway so fuck it lol [23:46] uxa or exa (whatever its called) are graphic compisitings [23:46] Samuel linuxguy2009 a later kernel can be installed now, but I don't think it will just fix wireless issue [23:46] they control your graphic card [23:46] Samuel: Well cant just whip it outta mu butt either. hehe It is what it is. [23:46] sebsebseb: Then what do you suggest trying? [23:46] !language | greengiant [23:46] greengiant: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [23:46] loscher: i have tried to boot & install mint with no success - same stalling prob [23:46] greengiant: and it's rather green, which by the looks of your name is another reason you like it [23:47] Samuel: Mandriva Live CD/DVD if it works there, you will know your issue is just an Ubuntu issue, and not a Linux issue [23:47] #ubuntu is rated G [23:47] sebsebseb: I know it's not a Linux issue. [23:47] G for great? [23:47] sebsebseb: It works fine on other OSes. [23:47] Samuel: have you tried other distros? [23:47] I've compiled and installed the Aurora gtk engine as instructed, and I see it in /usr/local/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/engines. However no Aurora themes find the engine. Any tips on what could be wrong? [23:47] sebsebseb: Yes. [23:47] i think ill stick with ubuntu thers already too many linuxes already [23:47] sebsebseb: yer it does look nice, so does the new ubuntu look, they make such suttle changes :P [23:47] i mean linux distros [23:47] G as in there are 4 year olds here. [23:48] MrHappy: well, at least it's consistent. As I say, you can run them in vbox or vmware and play with them there... [23:48] Are there? I didn't know 4 year olds could type [23:48] sebsebseb: Or it could be that I damaged the Wi-Fi card at about the same time as I installed Jaunty. [23:48] linuxguy2009, Really [23:48] ? [23:48] !wireless | Samuel [23:48] Samuel: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [23:48] mints menu system and tools bars are a bit shit by default. but the live cd runs better than ubuntus i think, even lets you write to all dirs, i dont think u can on the new ubuntu live cd by default. so there are alot of helpfull tweeks [23:48] sebsebseb: I know the antenna isn't in as great shape as before.

[23:49] kyle__: origianly they were made for Linx, but then computer ignorant people wanted Windows on them as well [23:50] sebsebseb: Too right. [23:50] google needs to make a REAL os not linux kernel and chrome [23:50] God bless the computer ignorant people.

[23:52] MrHappy: dunno, you're straining the limits of my knowledge at this point. Be grateful *something* boots... [23:52] Anybody know where a 'pan0' interface would come from? It's NOT my working internet connection and I have no BlueTooth adapters in the PC. I should only have lo0 and eth0, correct? [23:53] i want a core i7 [23:53] Must not be many mods here cause there would be stuff flying for mentioning some of the "competition" distros. [23:53] core i7!! [23:53] can you recommend an application to help learn to type with a greek layout? (ktouch doesn't have greek lecture) [23:53] im trying to figure out the proper arguments to give the unrar command to make it extract the rar into a new folder with the name of the rar file, i want to do this in a for loop for multiple rar files, but i cant figure out the new folders thing. Does anyone know the syntax? [23:53] how init the samba service automatically before login screen ubuntu? [23:53] linuxguy2009: it varies. there's a command to summon them if things get really out of hand... [23:53] xim_: you might want to write a quick 3 liner script. [23:53] xim_: You do know that once you install the unrar-free you can open the rar with file roller right? [23:54] i have question [23:54] loscher: lol you're absolutely right! im fairly new to linux and so im eager to try all these new things. im a windows user :S [23:54] !ask | kyle__ [23:54] kyle__: 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. :-) [23:54] ascheel: ive done this before but maybe you are right, i could use the practice anyway [23:54] losher: Magic words to summon the mods. Its magic. [23:54] linuxguy2009: what is a file roller? [23:54] y when i summon nautilus from the terminal it starts pcmanfm? [23:54] CHeCHoV: look in /etc/rc.2/ for a file called something like S30samba [23:54] (is mentioning Windows and instant ban?? :-) ) [23:55] but sudo nautilus works! [23:55] MrHappy: of course not [23:55] CHeCHoV: update-rc.d add samba [23:55] losher: file roller is the ubuntu default archive manager app. Its like WinZip or others. [23:55] phew [23:55] hello people! [23:55] hehe [23:55] Ok do i get flammed for saying WinZip? [23:55] oh yes linuxguy [23:55] hey guys [23:55] CHeCHoV: get rid of 'add'.

[23:57] linuxguy2009: the point is to extract archives in batch, can file roller do that? [23:57] linuxguy2009: stick around. Someone will need banning sooner or later.... [23:57] I was in here earlier, saying that I had started a disk resize with gparted when I lost my screen (just went black -with light on) anyways, I used ctrl+alt+f1 and saw that resize command was busy. When the resize command ended, there was a *chk file that was running, and that too has ended.... Righ not there's a gpartedbin still running and using about 7-10% of my cpu. Can I restart now or is gpartedbin doing something? [23:57] xim: highlight as many archives as you want and select extract here, [23:58] Theres your batch functionality. [23:58] loscher: *experiment*. no need to get shirty...
