[00:02] ok [00:02] skiwithpete: sounds like you moved to a different console by hitting Ctrl-Alt-F1.

[00:03] ascheel, that's where I see it running [00:03] so if I press ctrl alt f2 what will happen and what am I looking for? [00:03] skiwithpete: I know. If you press Ctrl-Alt-F2, Ctrl-Alt-F3, etc, you will see that you can chance the current working session.

[00:11] bernardlychan: Splashy has nothing to do with KDE. [00:11] Pici: there was another one.. " grep | " <- something like that. [00:11] is there an alterntive for kde Samuel? [00:11] adam1: grep is just for searching for strings, it has nothing to do with hardware [00:12] ok, ill try that, thnx [00:12] when i want to install splashy, it says it must remove KDE [00:12] bernardlychan: Splashy is boot up visuals.

If i don't download anything big it will stay working indefinitely, but when the megabytes start flying it tanks... religiously." [00:18] <[R]> defectiv: give it read and exec perms but not write perms [00:18] omg i forgot sudo lol [00:18] [R]: That's exactly my problem. [00:18] <[R]> Samuel: weird... you should file a bug report [00:19] [R]: A big report won't solve my problem tonight. [00:19] [R]: what is the exact name of the package? [00:19] Samuel: Maybe manually limit the bandwidth and see if you can fix it that way? [00:19] having problems with ubuntu 9.04, two different headsets same problem that the audio appears to not be resampled correctly. The headset supports a rate of 8000 but from what i can tell alsa sends as stereo 41000. -Dplug:bluetooth option causes it to sound like i am listening to a noisy 56k modem (makes things worse) [00:19] <[R]> jetblast: what package? [00:19] [R]: Java6 [00:19] Quincy: maybe you need to pass the old OSS "/dev/dsp" device. try with that "/dev/dsp" [00:19] <[R]> jetblast: how should i know [00:19] !java | jetblast [00:19] jetblast: 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 [00:19] linuxguy2009: I could limit the bandwidth... but then I can get my super fast downloading done. [00:20] linuxguy2009: So it kind of defeats the object. [00:20] netsurf3: Are you speaking of a bluetooth audio device? [00:20] yes [00:20] looks like i already installed the java6 JRE package [00:20] Mhm, xorg reporting a segfault in the libc in Ubuntu 9.04 with no backports or testing packages seems kinda odd, eh? [00:20] linuxguy2009, they are generic HSP compatible bluetooth headsets [00:21] netsurf3: 8,000 is very low audio quality. 44,100 is standard CD quality.In case you didnt know. [00:21] radio@quincy-desktop:~/Bureaublad$ ls -al /dev/dsp [00:21] crw-rw----+ 1 root audio 14, 3 2009-07-18 18:18 /dev/dsp [00:21] that one [00:21] ?

[00:21] norc_: bad ram ? memtest ? [00:22] [R]: then how will that user create e.g. /var/www/my_rails_app? [00:22] linuxguy2009, yeah i knew roughly but like i said these are cheap HSP/voice bluetooth headsets [00:22] netsurf3: If you have stuttering and/or noise, you may have to set it to use the native sample rate. [00:22] linuxguy2009, how can i do that exactly? [00:22] Quincy: never done that... not even know what that file is for... i'm sure there is some how to you can follow out there [00:22] <[R]> defectiv: you just siad you dindt want them to "alter" [00:22] linuxguy2009, been looking for a way to force resampling to its native rate [00:23] Quick question: I updated this machine from 8.10 to 9.04 today, and my compose key is back to being a context menu. I tried adding an Option "XkbOptions" "compose:menu" to my xorg.conf, but I still get a context menu. `setxkbmap -option "compose:menu"`, on the other hand, works. My xorg.conf is here: http://nopaste.com/p/aSWJZYlOD Any direction would be appreciated. [00:23] netsurf3: Try several of the standard sample rates such as 44100, 22050, 48000 etc. [00:23] [R]: not alter the directory itself, right. but be able to put stuff INTO it. [00:23] [R]: i believe it's 1777. [00:23] linuxguy2009, how do i force this? [00:23] <[R]> defectiv: what does "alter" mean then? [00:23] then the user can alter anything inside of that directory that he has permissions to alter, and even delete that stuff. but cannot delete the directory itself. [00:23] netsurf3: I have a USB headset I use with gtkrecordmydesktop and I have to set it to its native 48000 and then the static and chopping disappear. [00:23] alsa appears to not do this by its self [00:23] [R]: chmod rm etc. [00:23] netsurf3: Not sure. [00:24] you can alter what's INSIDE that directory, but not that directory. [00:24] is there a what to see if ur drivers are installed correctly [00:24] Hi all, I set up my s-video connection from my nvidia card to my tv's rca connection today. The only problem is I'm only getting black and white picture. I have a NVidia Geforce 6600. I've worked out that what I need to do is get composite output somehow but I can't find a setting for this. Anybody know how? Thanks [00:24] netsurf3: Are you trying to record into an application or what exactly? [00:24] <[R]> defectiv: only the owner can chmod a directory... and only someone with write perms to the owner directory can remove something in it [00:25] linuxguy2009, short term i'd just like to have a portable microphone and speaker for a netbook or something, long term: skype === ring1 is now known as ring0 [00:26] What do you recommend to use that i like iTunes but for Ubuntu..? [00:26] netsurf3: Ok so I have never used bluetooth before, but if it makes the headset show up as a standard sound device, you should be able to simply go into the system, preferences, sound and select the bluetooth device as a recording source. and then simply use the volume mixer window to adjust levels and dynamic compression etc. [00:26] <[R]> MattPhilie: i use rhythmbox [00:26] [R]: if you set the directory's perms to anything that would allow a user to create files/directories with in it, then he'd also be able to rm chmod it. [00:27] MattPhilie: I have an ipod and I love gtkpod for transfering music, gpixpod for photos, easytag for tagging. [00:27] nobody know how to get composite tv out on nvidia cards? [00:27] sixdraw, you need a colorfix s-video plug... [00:27] <[R]> defectiv: you've lost me... but whatever [00:27] if /var/www is chown root.root, and you want to enable some user to create e.g. /var/www/his_rails_app, then you have to give "other" write permissions. [00:27] linuxguy2009, it does not always show up. i have virtually everything working with the headset just the huge intollerable audio sampling problem [00:27] MattPhilie: gtkpod [00:27] the static is overwhelming [00:27] !itunes | MattPhilie [00:27] MattPhilie: itunes is not available on Linux, but there are many audio player alternatives (see !players). For Daap clients (sharing music with other iTunes clients on the network), install banshee [00:28] sixdraw, http://www.sandberg.it/product.aspx?id=503-65 [00:28] netsurf3: Ok in whatever app your using it with will probably have the actuall sample rate selection. [00:28] Nielsen, thank you [00:28] i have one myself :) [00:28] sixdraw, you're welcome :) [00:29] I have the gnome desktop panel with expand off is there away to get the handles on both sides to go away? it kinda ruins the panel w/ transparency on [00:29] [R]: Sticky bit. It was used to trigger process to "stick" in memory after it is finished, now this usage is obsolete. Currently its use is system dependant and it is mostly used to suppress deletion of the files that belong to other users in the folder where you have "write" access to. [00:29] <[R]> defectiv: ok... and? [00:29] is there a good alternative to splashy? [00:29] Nielsen, and your sure this is the only way? because I've managed to get colour out from my laptop to my lcd tv, but cant get it from my pc [00:29] !usplash | bernardlychan [00:29] bernardlychan: To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork [00:29] anyone from Germany [00:29] !de | dariva [00:29] dariva: In den meisten ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen.

[00:43] Kangarooo: it's not my script and I probably took it from gnome-look.org [00:43] Would someone please take a look at these instructions http://dsandler.org/wp/archives/2007/06/27/ubuntu-dwl-g120 and tell me if I'm missing something that would cause my system to freeze when I reboot with the wireless card plugged in? [00:43] Kangarooo: in context menu select "scripts", it's in there like you named it [00:45] Yeah there isn't any volume leveling in Ubuntu [00:45] Not going to shout. Just going to download my songs... [00:46] But I have to ask, why isn't there volume leveling in an OS? I have the same problem in my cell phone. [00:47] because that's not the purvey of the operating system [driver] [00:47] some applications have volume ramping (see pulseaudio 0.9.15+) [00:48] and there is replaygain for some audio files [00:48] Kangarooo: http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/sendToImageshack?content=100952 [00:48] What tool should I use to autoconfigure GRUB to boot Windows XP? [00:49] dhaval_: what kind of song files? === MidsummerDawn is now known as Locke [00:50] normal song files [00:50] dhaval_: MP3 ? [00:50] yeah mp3, m4a, mp4 [00:50] etc, etc [00:50] dhaval_: why didn't you look into this and install mp3gain or some other some such program to fix this? [00:50] Now I know there's a difference between the formats, and the quality [00:50] mp3gain is for windows only right? [00:51] and I think i've tried it before, didn't work. [00:51] And something tells me I shouldn't do it agian. [00:51] dhaval_: mp3gain is in the repos [00:51] Alright, i'll try that. [00:51] The xstream thingi didn't work [00:51] dhaval_: just because you don't understand something doesn't mean it doesnt work [00:51] I was sure it did, but tried it for different songs and no. [00:52] dhaval_: are you going to be in here crying about this for another 3 hours? [00:52] fyi google earth on ubuntu is running SWEET as soon as i turned off the atmosphere................. [00:52] Yes I know, but, given the fact that this problems exists in my phone AND Computer [00:52] Google Earth is very slow and is not rendering. I know i it has to run i my PC because when i had WinXp it did work. [00:52] I don't know, if you don't want me to cry I won't. But just keep giving me ideas ok? [00:52] No one can help me with my grub problem? :) [00:52] What problem? [00:53] adriana: try updating your display drivers [00:53] dhaval_: what does your phone have to do with ubuntu [00:53] I'm not sure which tool to use to autoconfigure GRUB to support Windows XP. Or rather, to rewrite menu.list. [00:53] adriana: maybe it is a 3d issue, have you got an ati or nvidia card? [00:53] Or was it boot.config? [00:53] I know i have VIA video card, and I have installed openchrome [00:54] Well, for one thing it also runs linux. 2: I have the same normalization problem with my phone's mp3 player [00:54] dhaval_: use google, look in the repos for audio file manipulation programs and use your brains [00:54] Zencyde: it is /boot/grub/menu.lst [00:54] I did use google, at from what I found one can conclude that there isn't any help for me. [00:54] luca: Should I edit it by hand or should I use a tool to do it? [00:54] sebsebseb: giggle eh? [00:54] I'm going to look for mp3gain [00:55] brb [00:55] Zencyde: before doing anything explain me what have you done so far [00:56] I dont have ATI nor nVidia [00:56] luca: I have Windows XP freshly installed on another drive. /dev/sdb/ I would like to be able to boot into it using GRUB so that I don't have to change my boot order to boot into Windows from time to time. What would be the recommended method for configuring GRUB? [00:57] dhaval_: again? why didn't you apt-cache show mp3gain three hours ago when i told you [00:57] ok Zencyde, the tool SHOULD be grub-update [00:57] Ah, thank you. Run as su? [00:57] dhaval_: also look at sox ..it's been around forever [00:57] but I'll say that it does not work everytime [00:58] I was busy then and ok, i'll look for sox [00:58] But I just had another idea [00:58] Audacity! [00:58] yay [00:58] dhaval_: all this is very faq and doc on the internet try google sound files+volume+linux [00:58] bruenig: that channel, no silly [00:58] luca: grub-update doesn't seem to be a command. :o [00:58] Didn't find anything on google, YET but i'm looking [00:59] so, Zencyde: to avoid any trouble i'll say you have a look in the menu.lst, after all you have only to add a stanza [00:59] Indeed. I'm just not in the mood for trial and error. Any idea what my entry should be? Should be on partition 0. === gimbuee is now known as mitakakojiro [01:01] How can I see if my video card is workig properly with Google Earth? [01:01] Zencyde: well, you know, since it's on device sdb and i'm assuming xp being on the 1st partition, you can add at the tail of /boot/grub/menu.lst the following [01:01] title Windows XP [01:01] root (hd1,0) [01:01] makeactive [01:01] chainloader +1 [01:01] luca: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

If not, thanks! [01:02] adriana: is it working "acceptably"? [01:03] Zencyde: remember that every time a new kernel is added, grub is modified [01:03] hello, can someone give me some help? [01:03] But Google Earth is very slow and the planet if apears y no rendered properly [01:03] luca: Yeah. I feel like deleting those entries. :( [01:04] Bye, L( [01:04] :) [01:04] Zencyde: just add again the xp entry if it disappears [01:04] Juano, just ask [01:04] does anyone know how to make a bg fixed in nautilus?? [01:04] background [01:04] thank you durt [01:04] adriana: what fps are you getting in glxgears? [01:04] durt: I am installing an epson TX300f multifunctional [01:05] 799 in 5.0 seconds [01:05] adriana: have you tried to disable compiz? [01:05] How do i change the default keymap settings in Ubuntu 9.04 ? [01:05] durt:I've already installed the printer and it worked fine [01:05] :) [01:05] Hey bucky, why do people hate SongBird? [01:05] durt: but I have some problems installing the scanner [01:05] <[R]> powergoal3: system -> preferences -> keyboard [01:06] coz_: by chance do you write cairo-dock themes? [01:06] No, because I dont know what it is, or if it will affect other parts of Ubuntu [01:06] adriana: that means, system->preference->appearance and none [01:06] ctmjr, yes I do [01:06] [R]: How do you do it from terminal? [01:06] Does anyone know anything I could do to fix my sound for some reason it keeps cutting out eventually. 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. [01:06] !cookie | coz_ only theme i use [01:06] coz_ only theme i use: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [01:07] ctmjr, oh which theme are you using? [01:07] coz_: rings [01:07] adriana: no, ubuntu by default ships with "nice 3d effects" enabled, but some 3d apps like google earth eat much more horsepower so disabling those ubuntu desktop effects can give the app the power it needs [01:07] powergoal3: setxkbmap [01:07] ctmjr, ah ok cool :) [01:08] fuzzybunny69y, that look like a bug. report to launchpad. [01:08] hello [01:08] How do i disable Compz? [01:08] adriana: that means, system->preference->appearance and none [01:08] adriana, gnome or kde? [01:08] problem : local machine running gnome, i can start stuff from the menus, but if i start something from a terminal window i get 'No protocol specified, unable to open display ":0.0"'. wtf? [01:08] Kangarooo, I think it has been reported since there are a ton of staticy sound issues with Pulseaudio but I can't seem to figure out if it has been fixed or not [01:08] adriana: that means, system->preference->appearance->visual effects and none [01:08] I have the gnome desktop panel with expand off is there away to get the handles on both sides to go away? it kinda ruins the panel w/ transparency on [01:08] VCoolio: is that a permanent change? [01:08] luca: I think she still wants desktop effects, just not too special ones. [01:09] I have lots of tabs, the last one is in minimun [01:09] dhaval_: let's see if google earth runs better [01:09] powergoal3: not sure but I think no; don't sue me for it; read "man setxkbmap" to be sure [01:09] yeh... [01:09] adriana, select the visual effect tab [01:10] It is set to No visual effects [01:10] Sometimes you may need to reinstall Windows on your computer.

[01:13] can any tell me how to get flash 10 to work in opera? [01:13] adriana: it should say "direct rendering: Yes" [01:14] Alright, this is too much. I think i'll call it a night.

And simply force myself to use it instead === Guest89928 is now known as th0r [01:47] johnnymac, at any rate, if you are pretty new to bash, linuxcommand.org provides a pretty good jumping off point. [01:47] but really understanding how linux works === Odin is now known as Guest26529 [01:47] Sorry [01:48] johnnymac: for shorting cmds /etc/bash.bashrc is good doing aliases/functions, if you want a nighttrain, try emacs XD [01:48] vim! [01:48] how do I set up sendmail in Ubuntu 8.10? [01:48] why does the firefox 3.5 installation calls itself shiretoko? can't I get the official firefox 3.5 version? [01:48] DasEi: ok thanks [01:49] adriana: really I have no clue about it, but i'll google a little [01:49] I need to connect a midi keyboard to my ubuntu pc through an external usb device.. and I can't make it work.. [01:49] is there an easy way to add window tiling to gnome? or should I get some other WM [01:49] does anyone know how to resolve this 'Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module": /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/modules/libcanberra-gtk-module.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64' [01:49] I have a widescreen so I always like to have things side by side [01:49] luca, thank you very much! [01:49] robi2: manufacturer ? hardwareinfo ? [01:50] http://www.petitiononline.com/vialinux/petition.html [01:50] adriana: i think the drivers suck then :P [01:50] wahnfrieden_, you can choose a different wm that is compatible with gnome. ie you just have to switch out metacity for something tiling. [01:50] adriana: the "via" module should be the graphic driver [01:50] so you're actually using it [01:50] oh [01:50] Dasei: the midi interface is 'Prodipe 4i4o' [01:50] can you recommend something? [01:50] hi can some1 tell me how to install .exe files on Ubuntu? [01:50] robi2: have you tried Jack ? [01:51] happy, .exe are windows files. Try WINE, or virtualbox [01:51] Hehe, Know I can blame the driver! [01:51] not easy to say. visite ubuntu.com [01:51] happy: that's not really how things work.... [01:51] hipitihop: yes.. it doesn't see it.. [01:51] How does 'init' start? [01:51] ubuntu 9.01 I checked "Remember Programs at log out" under startup programs. Then I unchecked it because I didn't like it. the programs are still coming up and its driving me CRAZY!!!!! can anyone help? [01:51] robi2: sounds exotic, no brand/ info-sticker on it ? [01:51] since i have firefox 3.5 can i get rid of firefox 3? [01:51] wahnfrieden, well, with a few patches, dwm behaves nicely with gnome, but I would look into wmii, xmonad, etc and see what they say about gnome support. [01:51] what triggers 'init'? [01:51] robi2: sorry that is all I needed and all I know [01:51] johnnymac: you might want to check out tldp.org...they have some really good books covering such details [01:52] dasei: the brand is Prodipe. The model is 4i4o [01:52] I tried xmonad but it seems to need lots of hand configuration to work, only seems targeted at 'power users'/tweakers so far [01:52] johnnymac, bios -> boot loader -> initramfs -> kernel -> init iirc [01:52] johnnymac: also check some of the tutorials on the web about linux runlevels [01:53] windows and windows start when I log in... [01:53] help please [01:54] r3l1c: those were the windows you left open when logging out [01:54] hey guys [01:54] i got this in my logwatch today [01:54] no I closed them, they are the windows that were there last time I logged on... [01:54] A total of 1 possible successful probes were detected [01:54] anyone knows what that means? [01:54] I closed all the windows and logged out and they still come up anyway [01:54] (the following URLs [01:54] contain strings that match one or more of a listing of strings that [01:54] indicate a possible exploit): [01:55] sorry [01:55] i see. is the /bin and /sbin part of the kernel? is root part of the kernel? [01:55] r3l1c, is this in gnome, xfce, what? [01:55] gnome [01:55] dasei: if you want to see the device on the web: http://www.prodipe.com/index.php?ml=16&cat=3&lang=9&pidpress=192 [01:55] r3l1c, system>preferences>startup applications.. you can uncheck the applications that are startings. [01:55] did it' [01:56] and they still come up [01:56] robi2: google brought to me, but saying win/mac, frst thought on that would be try ubuntu-studio [01:56] r3l1c, check to see if the programs are in ~/config/autostart [01:56] checking, thanks [01:57] dasei: :( ubuntustudio freezes on my pc.. [01:57] does anyone know if it is possible to connect a softphone like twinkle to an ATA ? so that it uses the ATA's codecs etc ? [01:57] johnnymac, no. and / is the logical beginning of the filesystem [01:57] there must be something buggy with the realtime kernel.. I'm not alone with that problem.. [01:58] johnnymac, /bin, /sbin are where many basic binaries are stored. /usr/bin contains binaries more likely to be used by the user [01:58] So the filesystem is not part of the kernel? [01:58] johnnymac, correct [01:58] johnnymac: lol no [01:59] jdu: no not in there, these are nautilus windows that are popping up [01:59] r3l1c, hmm. have you modified things in any way: start up scripts, .xinitrc .xsession etc. [01:59] jdu: its under session-state [01:59] thanks [02:00] r3l1c, good. [02:00] I love learning new things [02:00] :) [02:00] r3l1c, all is ok now? so where did you removed them? i have the same problem.. i unchecked to remember but it remembered last remebering. [02:01] r3l1c, at least the problem is better than having parts of the desktop not start (like the toolbars) because of session management :) [02:01] Kangarooo: ~/.config/session-state [02:01] robi2: far away from doing music-mastering, I tried it (studio) once on low spec-box, and it did well, though google can't find any linux-related to tat mixer, so guess not;; you'd have to find out which usb-chip is in there, if a modul exists and then still need a soft for it ; did you try the win soft >> wine ? [02:01] Can someone help to to setup ubuntu 9.04 to boot through another OSs occurance of grub? [02:02] jdu: yeah true, that would be worse, and happens if you remove ubuntu-desktop [02:02] r3l1c, nothing happens if you remove ubuntu-desktop except it is not suggested if you want to upgrade [02:02] jdu: I have never had that be the case [02:02] whats the best way to secure my computer, a firewall? [02:02] how can I setup 3d EFFECTS in xfce ? [02:02] and does ubuntu come with one [02:03] I can never get to a desktop, I have always had to reinstall the package from bash [02:03] rufuscure: yes ubuntu has one by defult no ports are open [02:03] so as long as i keep all my ports closed then i should be fine? [02:03] r3l1c, you deleted it all? and in gui its not possible to edit? [02:03] rufuscure: Ubuntu and all Linux distros come with the iptables firewall, you can find a GUI application to configure it [02:03] rufuscure: linux in nature it pretty secure [02:04] Kangarooo: i backed up then deleted, didn't want to edit but that is a fair question [02:04] Can anyone help me with a grub configuration? [02:04] Ok, is it possible to use ubuntu to secure my windows PC? [02:04] yes r3l1c thats good backuping saves if something bad hapens but for usual user what to do? gui? [02:05] gui would be safer.. [02:05] rufuscure, you mean as a firewall to your windows PC? [02:05] rufuscure: you can turn ubuntu into a proxy to span, cache and block traffic going to your windows systems. [02:05] s/span/scan/ [02:05] JdU - I guess so? Mfillpot - Yeah like what you just said [02:05] <_Space_Case_> rufuscure: firestarter is a gui for iptables [02:06] Kangarooo: I am looking at one of the .Desktop files, the insides are pretty cool, you can change which desktop window they open in [02:06] THANKS GUYS! I fixed my dualboot situation! Have a great saturday night everyone! [02:06] hello, i want to get my builtin modem "Agere systems" to work into Jaunty 9.04 ?? any working method [02:06] dasei: if I type 'cat /dev/sndstat' it shows the usb midi interface as: 'Midi devices: 2: USB Midi 4i4o' [02:06] apt-get install iptables ? [02:06] rufuscure: lookup a program called squid and read up on the configurations, you will find it very useful [02:07] but lsmod doesn't show it.. I suppose that means it doesn't load any module for it.. [02:07] okay, thanks [02:07] rufuscure: iptables is installed in the kernel by default [02:07] I did "alien package.tar.gz" then installed the deb and now "command not found" while everything is in /usr/bin etc, if I do "locate" it is there, but executing fails ??

[03:02] chs200123: well it's a Grub error so it's not exactly distro specific and so ##linux could be useful the general Linux channal [03:02] mfillpot: a little more geeky that, especially if fs messes up under encryption, is what I like separate partitons for (is only one sys in the worse) [03:02] edbian: I prefer lilo for the simplicity [03:02] is there a native firewall on ubuntu desktop?

[03:24] _u2pop_: infact alpha2 can't even be dual booted with other OS's at the moment as far as I know [03:24] <_u2pop_> so i will download the 9.04 then in octuber i will upgrade to 9.10 [03:24] bthompso1 there should be a program that installs hardware drivers [03:24] its in some menu in gnome [03:24] chrisn2323: i tried it didn't find anything [03:24] _u2pop_: or just do 8.04 for now 8.04.3 upgrade to it [03:24] then do sudo apt-get install nameofatidriver [03:24] MrPiracy, yeah i can boot with live cd and even without, but my options are wrong. [03:25] _u2pop_: and the 8.04 to 8.10 upgrade could be risky, since I have lost Internet connection after doing this, as well as other people [03:25] <_u2pop_> seb but if i download 8.04.3 i can upgrade to 9.10 in october ? [03:25] dpupp, oh, u want to restore grub's default options? [03:25] sebsebseb: is that grub2 issues? (Since I dual-boot happily so far...) [03:25] chrisn2323: how doyou know what the name of it is.

[03:25] arand: it was in the alpha2 notes, not sure how up to date they keep that [03:26] gogeta: yes, w32codecs installed [03:26] _u2pop_: you won't be able to upgrade 8.04.3 to 9.10, but you could wait for 10.04 April 2010, and then upgrade directly from 8.04.3 to 10.04 [03:26] dpupp, boot into linux and manually edit /boot/grub/menu.lst [03:26] _u2pop_: well you will still have to go at it in three steps. [03:26] MrPiracy, right now, i tried restoring grub, but now it dont see windows... and i tried adding windows, but it wont load it. it gives an error and throws me back at the grub menu. [03:26] willm i dont have 2 wireless cards... [03:26] _u2pop_: ,but I already gave you a reason to clean install once 9.10 is out, so you won't do that [03:26] MrPiracy, thats what im trying now. [03:26] chrisn2323: Following your qso with rufuscure, makes me think you might be able to help me? I'm using grsync and ssh to do backups. Just now, I got a host key verification error, the RSA host key has changed? Google tells me this could be because my DNS or ip address changed? I checked my ip address, and it is the same, can I check my dns address? How would I tell ssh about the new DNS? [03:26] Ok Let me look again [03:27] MrPiracy, but i dont know how to edit that file. [03:27] <_u2pop_> so is much better me to download 9.04 then in october upgrade to 9.10 and done [03:27] dpupp, there are several examples on how to boot a windows partition from grub [03:27] n2diy go into your router settings and give youself a static ip address [03:27] _u2pop_: upgrade to 8.04.3 run that for now, clean install when 9.10 is out :) [03:27] dpupp, are u on linux? [03:27] <_u2pop_> because that removing a installing and upgrading and steps [03:27] n2diy then configure your internet to use it [03:27] the next desktop LTS will be april 2011 [03:27] no, im in windows now on my desktop. i dont know a good irc client for linux [03:27] MrPiracy, no, im in windows now on my desktop. i dont know a good irc client for linux [03:28] dpupp try xchat [03:28] :) [03:28] <_u2pop_> seb i have the cd 7.04 [03:28] dpupp, try xChat, it's the best for me [03:28] _u2pop_: you can do an Internet upgrade to 7.10, and then from that to 8.04.3 [03:28] <_u2pop_> 7.04 to 8.04 then upgrade to 8.04.3 [03:28] Bookman: its buffering for me [03:28] bthompso1: hardware drivers, under system > admin menu [03:28] <_u2pop_> geez [03:28] MrPiracy, is it free? [03:28] dpupp, so all u need is to get to edit grub config file? [03:28] chrisn2323: what happens if you try to connect without security enabled? [03:28] _u2pop_: I thought you had 7.04 already installed? [03:28] dpupp, yes, it's in synaptics [03:28] gogeta: funny, works on another Ubuntu 9.04machine, no issues [03:29] i dont know willm [03:29] arand: then what nothing in there [03:29] i have wpa enabled [03:29] Bookman: if you have the vlc plugin installed it whont work [03:29] I would try that then [03:29] and im not going to change it [03:29] thiebaude: is it clearly defined (whole issue of maybe sync with debian etc...) ? [03:29] MrPiracy, yeah, i just want to add windows as a boot option. it used to just boot windows. but then i restopred grub... and then it would just boot linux. i want it to offer me the choice between the two with a 10 second count down. [03:29] gogeta: I have VLC plugin on the other machine that works [03:29] arand: yea, i heard about that [03:29] chrisn2323: that way we can get a base for whether or not it is working [03:30] the point is it should be working regardless [03:30] Bookman: i tryed with vlc it didnt do anything [03:30] dpupp, get back to linux, go to terminal and type sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst [03:30] _u2pop_: oh lost you? I thought you had 7.04 already instaleld [03:30] argh not sure why this box can't see the internet [03:30] all other boxes do. [03:30] seb not yet [03:30] i just have the cd [03:30] bthompso1: if you started that thing and it shows nothing, it means no hardware which needs those drivers are detected.... [03:30] _u2pop_: oh you don't hve Ubuntu installed at all? [03:30] dpupp, a text editor will pop up showing u this file, it's acctually the menu grub will use to display [03:30] Bookman: just said wating [03:30] nop [03:30] dpupp, u can manually edit and insert ur windows partition [03:30] my another pc yes but is 9.04 [03:30] u2pop: well in that case get yourself an 8.10 or 9.04 CD and install that [03:31] chrisn2323: ok, do I need to check with my isp about this, I'm not sure if I need DHCP or not? [03:31] so i want to install to my laptop [03:31] Mine says Playing 0:00 (Streaming) [03:31] u2pop: did you ever do 8.10? [03:31] dpupp, it has some samples in the file, u can just uncomment them [03:31] nop\ [03:31] gogeta: sorry....Mine says Playing 0:00 (Streaming) [03:31] n2diy is this on your lan? [03:31] u2pop: ok well makes sense to have one with 9.04 for now and the other with 8.10, and then clean install both once 9.10 is out [03:31] MrPiracy, i tried uncommenting them but it gives an error when i try selecting the option at boot time. [03:32] MrPiracy, do i need to move the uncommented text to the very bottom of the file? [03:32] dpupp, u probably didnt put the right parameters, can u pastebin ur menu.lst file? [03:32] actually fighting to get my system online as well... but first i want to fix os. [03:32] MrPiracy, actually fighting to get my system online as well... but first i want to fix os. [03:32] k [03:32] dpupp, if u move it to the bottom, it will appear last [03:32] chrisn2323: yes, a cable modem connected to a four port wireless router. [03:32] where can i download the 8.10 ? [03:33] then dont contact your isp n2diy [03:33] log into your router [03:33] u2pop: you can always dist-upgrade [03:33] u2pop: i'll get you the link, also before burning the ISO you should md5sum the CD [03:33] set a static ip for your computer [03:33] port forward necessary ports [03:33] bruenig: he dosan't have Ubuntu on the computer he is installing on yet [03:33] md5sum for what? [03:33] Hello, can someone help me please? I get this error when ever I try to apt-get install stuff (http://pastebin.ca/1499686), then when I do the apt-get -f install like it says I get an error too (http://pastebin.ca/1499685), What can I do to fix this? [03:33] then configure your linux box [03:33] !unetbootin [03:33] to use static and not dhcp [03:33] dpupp, opitionally u can install windows drivers to access ur linux partition and edit the file from windows where u have internet access [03:33] For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [03:33] u2pop: if you want to upgrade the 8.10 to 9.04 later you can, but I think great idea to have 8.10 on one and 9.04 on the other, and as I already said clean install both once 9.10 is out [03:34] I asked this a few nights ago and didnt get an answer. I just installed ubuntu 9.04 and the keyboard/mouse works fine but as soon as i 'startx' neither are responsive. what could cause this ? [03:34] arand: now what [03:34] MrPiracy, i get error 13: invalid or unsupported executabke format.. press any key. [03:34] u2pop: should probably get both on the latest version [03:34] !md5sum | u2pop [03:34] u2pop: To verify the integrity of a download, use the md5sum - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM for more [03:34] k fine [03:34] dpupp, what r u trying to do? [03:34] bruenig: I disagree, since 8.10 is better than 9.04 in certain ways :) [03:35] i put the example at the start of where all the other boot options show... uncommended. and just rebooted. nothing else edited. [03:35] chrisn2323: ok, this sounds like a project that shouldn't be tackled at this time of night, thanks for the info. [03:35] and what happens with 9.04 ? [03:35] MrPiracy, i put the example at the start of where all the other boot options show... uncommended. and just rebooted. nothing else edited. [03:35] well then, he has two different opinions [03:35] i need editor python on ubuntu [03:35] bruenig: and he can do a clean install of both computers with Ubuntu 9.10 when that's out [03:35] too many bugs? [03:35] Hello, can someone help me please? I get this error when ever I try to apt-get install stuff (http://pastebin.ca/1499686), then when I do the apt-get -f install like it says I get an error too (http://pastebin.ca/1499685), What can I do to fix this? [03:35] sebsebseb: clean installing in 3 months is obnoxious [03:36] sebsebseb: who wants to go through and tinker and reconfigure everything in 3 months right after you have finished [03:36] dpupp, which window version? do you know the partition number it is? [03:36] bruenig: no it's a good thing to do since Ext4 is the default file system :) better than Ext3 [03:36] bruenig: installing evething all over again [03:36] Bookman: strange enough vlc fails on me [03:36] thiebaude: do what now [03:36] MrPiracy, if i choose the second option, it loads linux fine... but nothing with windows yet. what are the 0,0 and 0,1 numbers for? [03:37] Bookman: just sits at wating for video [03:37] dpupp, the first number is the drive number (if you only have one drive, it will be hd0 [03:37] dpupp, the second is the partittion number [03:37] gogeta: on this machine with the sound issue I do not have mozilla-plugin-vlc installed [03:37] bruenig: the bad thing about a clean install is installing evrything again for me [03:37] thiebaude: yes indeed [03:37] thiebaude: I agree [03:37] seb thanks [03:38] but i've done many clean installs before [03:38] u2pop: I'll be clear on something, with Ubuntu it's not about what is the latest, it's about what is supported, and 8.10 is still good and supported untill April next year on the desktop, of course you will have 9.10 before that anyway I expect [03:38] and dual boots [03:38] dpupp, lets say your first partitition is linux and ur second is windows .... then ur windows grub command should be root (hd0,1) ... "1" is because the partition numbering starts with 0 [03:38] I have a big problem guys please help: I was trying to resize my harddrive with gui, then I guess I made a mistake in some configuration. when I start the PC grub was not working correctly. how can I can have my data back? I had 2 partiion in that machine xp and ubuntu 9.4. I have the ubuntu Cd inserted on the computer I just need instruction. Thank you in advance [03:38] yep [03:38] that right [03:38] thiebaude, you can use synaptic to reload all your software on a clean ubuntu install [03:38] dpupp, in this case, ur linux partition is (hd0,0) and your windows partition is (hd0,1) [03:38] MrPiracy, i will switch to 0,1 and reboot. [03:38] sebsebseb: support is a big deal, i agree [03:38] thiebaude, msg me if you want me to teach you [03:38] hi can someone help me please? [03:38] Shawnc: when did this occur ? [03:39] !ask | Shawnc [03:39] Shawnc: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [03:39] ah thanks [03:39] Why would df show usb devices that aren't plugged in? I did have trouble umounting them, and just pulled them when I thought they were done being written to. [03:39] zenlunatic: yep, or apt-get install [03:39] Hey guys, is there a way for me in Ubuntu to execute an exe file which basically extracts an ISO image? [03:39] bruenig: I have asked my question 2 times, I think I can say can someone help me. [03:39] dpupp, u can try that ... the other commands are default for windows ... just makeactive then chainloader +1 [03:39] :( [03:39] Hi [03:39] !wine | juanbond [03:39] juanbond: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [03:39] Instead of repeating myself, thank you very much.

You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [03:39] MrPiracy, uh-oh... now its going straight to windows without asking me what to load. [03:39] Bookman: sounds workin fine on mplayer [03:39] Hi [03:39] u2pop: http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.10/ and the code you compare the md5sum check to http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.10/MD5SUMS [03:40] Bookman: listing to it noww [03:40] DasEi: around 2 seconds before I posted it [03:40] thiebaude, you know about "save markings" in synaptic? [03:40] So around 5 minutes ago. [03:40] gogeta: No problem.... [03:40] server_, so you can either try to reinstall grub from a livecd and/or copy of the files you want and reinstall; which do you prefer? [03:40] zenlunatic: no i haven't [03:40] Hello, can someone help me please? I get this error when ever I try to apt-get install stuff (http://pastebin.ca/1499686), then when I do the apt-get -f install like it says I get an error too (http://pastebin.ca/1499685), What can I do to fix this? <-- 5 minutes ago. [03:40] dpupp, set a timer ... at the begining of the file it has a commented line for the timeout setting [03:40] Shawnc: heh, did you try an install, or an update ? [03:40] zenlunatic: and i've been using ubuntu for 4 yrs,lol [03:40] jdu how can I do that can you help me please [03:41] thiebaude, go to file->save markings then reinsall ubuntu and use that file it will install all packages on your wiped install to your new install [03:41] u2pop: and obviously you keep your data backed up and that, and clean installing Ubuntu with 9.10, won't be a big deal when it's time [03:41] jdu I have live cd inserted what do I have to do at this point ? [03:41] zenlunatic: ok, thanks mate [03:41] thiebaude, no need to do it manually [03:41] dpupp, hehe, but now u go straight to windows. i think u'll have to boot from the live cd and edit the file form it [03:41] cool [03:41] server_, well, with regard to fixing the grub problem, I suggest finding an online tutorial. [03:41] !md5sum > u2pop [03:41] u2pop, please see my private message [03:41] thiebaude, np [03:41] i'll write that down [03:41] just read that one on a blog [03:41] MrPiracy, i hit esc and it popped up with a list to choose. [03:42] Anyone know how to enable firebug for all sites for all time? [03:42] MrPiracy, almost there.... [03:42] jdu: thank you I'm on it [03:42] how do I change default file associations? e.g. I want double-clicking xml files in nautilus to open in an editor rather than firefox [03:42] dpupp, apparently all u need is the timer now [03:42] server_, to get your files, you should simply use the file browser to mount the hard drive partitions and get what you want off of them to back up (assuming you have have another drive) [03:42] gogeta: Just hopeless on this machine I guess [03:42] Sorry, Disconnected. [03:42] Didn't mean too :P [03:42] k i see the md5sum [03:42] Hey all, trying to setup an older laptop for my father (who, literally, can Blue Screen a Microwave)... is there an easy way. Its an older Toshiba w/ 96MB RAM, 4GB drive, and a AMD K-6 @ 333MHz. [03:42] server_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [03:42] thanks for your help sebsebseb [03:42] :D [03:42] u2pop: the codes need to be the same [03:42] dpupp, ohhh and dont forget to put the title before the windows boot commands ... each option needs a title [03:42] u2pop: for a good ISO and np [03:43] DasEi: What were you saying? [03:43] zenlunatic: so, when i clean install 9.10 i just go back into synaptic ? [03:43] MrPiracy, how do i add the timer? [03:43] after saving [03:43] Shawnc: did you try an install, or an update ? [03:43] yes i read that on md5 site [03:43] :P [03:43] gogeta: hey, I just installed VLC plugin and it just started working. Still says waiting for video, but playing sound just fine. [03:43] thiebaude, yeah [03:43] MisterK85, puppy linux? [03:43] great, i better save it now [03:43] What do you mean? [03:43] jdu: whats the sys reqs? [03:43] dpupp, just add timeout 10 [03:43] I tried an install like yesterday when I got that error first... [03:43] thiebaude, not sure about configs though... like i don'[t know if you'll have to reconfig stuff [03:43] dpupp, at the begining of the file [03:44] MisterK85, about that. but it more user friendly than others with lower system requirements [03:44] MisterK85: yes, ubuntu or any derivative will have a hard time on that one... [03:44] u2pop: oh another idea you could do that Ubuntu 9.04 KDE 3 remix CD :) then you got the older and better KDE 3 on one computer, and Ubuntu's edited here and there Gnome on the other computer [03:44] MrPiracy, time out 3 ... changing to 10 [03:44] ok [03:44] apt-get install something or another, I can't remember dasei [03:44] Shawnc: in asking when that occurred , did you put any third party soft on ore is an update failed ? [03:44] MisterK85, you don't want to use ubuntu for that. You could try deli linux but it is a little harder to install and setup [03:44] MisterK85, try #damnsmalllinux [03:44] MrPiracy, ok, so now when the timer expires it goes to windows direct... unless i hit esc. how can i set it to go to linux direct if nothing is pressed? [03:44] how do I change default file associations? e.g. I want double-clicking xml files in nautilus to open in an editor rather than firefox [03:44] sebsebseb: he left, he said ubuntu coming soon,lol [03:44] Shawnc: jaunty ? [03:45] MisterK85, I don't suggest damn small linux for someone who can 'blue screen a microwave' [03:45] dpupp, default 0 [03:45] thiebaude: oh well, but long live KDE 3 :) [03:45] dpupp, again, 0 means the first option in ur file .... 1 for the next and so on [03:45] MrPiracy, default 0 is already there. [03:45] sebsebseb: yep [03:45] No, 9.04 [03:45] MrPiracy, ah! i get it now [03:45] Hanty or something [03:45] hey guys how are you [03:45] MrPiracy, THANKS! [03:46] dpupp, no prob ;) [03:46] jdu: lol I used DSL before, not too fond on it. I rather something with a GNOME interface, and something, for the love of god, that can have a cut down applications menu. [03:46] i am from surinam [03:46] Ah [03:46] !quit going to bed [03:46] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [03:46] !who | Shawnc [03:46] Shawnc: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [03:46] and i would like to ask you guys how to configure a dns server in ubuntu [03:46] MisterK85: jdu: The little I've seen of puppy, is absolutely horrible (no man pages, no frikking man pages!), but it still seems the most full-featured light-distro out there. I don'th think you will get gnome on those speacs without it running like thick syrup... [03:46] Shawnc: jaunty so, what happens at: sudo apt-get update ? [03:47] jdu: honest to god, my father spent close on 15-20 minutes one day trying to use that microwave, and was pressing the time but not the power... had to actually "teach" him again. [03:47] How do I remove headers? when I boot my comp since it is dual booted, I get around 6 different linux headers I can boot, all ubuntu, how do I do this? [03:47] where does xChat keep its config files? [03:47] How do I remove them, I have pre-released headers which messed it up. I figured it out I think. [03:47] MrPiracy: try .xchat under ~/home [03:47] FrankQC, is there a way to access it from nautilus? [03:47] MrPiracy: ~/.xchat2 looks promising [03:48] MrPiracy: When you're in /home, press Ctrl + H [03:48] Hey im having issues updating an older version of ubuntu. I want to update from 6.10 to 9.40. i know i need to update to the in-between versions first, but when i go to update manager and i try to update to 7.04 it starts fetching files but then it says "A problem occured during the update. This is usually some sort of network problem." it then lists a dozen web adresses that "Failed to fetch files" from. can somone help me? [03:48] Shawnc: easy item, your apt ? [03:48] Shawnc: there are packages for each kernel version, remove them in synaptic. [03:48] FrankQC, thx [03:48] synaptic? [03:48] .. [03:48] MrPiracy: Then you'll see folders w/ periods, it's either .xchat or, as debac1e said, .xchat2 [03:48] arand, I agree, especially as puppy runs everything as root and is more resource heavy now than it was once. However, for those who want a 'user friendly' light distro, it is one of the best. It 'just works' so to say [03:48] !software | Shawnc [03:48] Shawnc: A general introduction to the ways software can be installed, removed and managed in Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoftwareManagement - See also !Packages, !Equivalents [03:49] MisterK85, puppy now suggests 128mb ram; gone are the days of 64mb ;( [03:49] FrankQC, debac1e thx, i found it [03:49] DasEi: Shawnc: btw, does computer janitor do that? [03:49] arand: can advise that in menu.lst [03:49] arand: "GRUB loading, please wait... Error 22" that all I am seeing how can I can fix it :( [03:50] Shawnc: what happens at: sudo apt-get update ? [03:50] how to ad windows client to my ubuntu domain [03:50] ? [03:50] after and update and upgrade, what does it mean when apt says it has a list of packages kept back? [03:50] one second dasei [03:51] linux generic, headers generic, etc.. [03:51] please guys helpp me out [03:51] server_: From grub manual "This error is returned if a partition is requested in the device part of a device- or full file name which isn't on the selected disk." [03:51] i have an aluminum apple wireless keyboard. in jaunty i have to repair my keyboard after every reboot. anyone know away to retain the pairing once its been done, for then on, after reboot, with bluetooth ? [03:51] kreg: mostly unmet dependencies, they install later, when paketmanagement (> repos) came up [03:52] DasEi: When ever I try a command it won't work it just does "E: Internal Error, Could not perform immediate configuration (1) on findutils" [03:52] DasEi, there is a gui that pops up and lists the same updates. i can press a button and it installs those. why can't i get them to install on the cml ? [03:52] anyone have skype installed on karmic x64? [03:52] arand: what do I have to do to fix it [03:52] ok guys im getting no video now..im in recovery mode as that is all i can get to..i installed this application called envy that was supposed to install the ati drivers [03:52] kreg: it means that it can not simply upgrade packages, it will need to install new ones and/or remove other ones to ensure dependencies are met... [03:52] kreg: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [03:52] i've already updated and upgraded [03:53] all i get on the screen is garbled video when i try to boot... [03:53] reboot into a new kernel? [03:53] Shawnc: have you tried to to fix the findutils package ? [03:54] findutils? [03:54] kreg: hold back packages are no cause to worry, they'll install later [03:54] !info findutils | Shawnc [03:54] findutils is already the newest version. [03:54] server_: problem probably is that grub cannot find the partition it was installed on, most likely the ubuntu partition, since it has been edited in some way... I think you need to reinstall grub in mbr (so that it points to the partition properly and may find the rest of the grub start data). [03:54] Shawnc: findutils (source: findutils): utilities for finding files--find, xargs. In component main, is required. Version 4.4.0-2ubuntu4 (jaunty), package size 376 kB, installed size 1528 kB [03:54] DasEi: findutils is already the newest version. [03:54] my question is.... why does the gui do it, and the cml does not? [03:55] Can someone explain what the games account is used for? [03:55] Shawnc : yes, but you get an error about it [03:55] yes, how do I fix the error? [03:55] Anyone know what the best option for fs with an SSD is? [03:55] kreg : both do the same [03:55] arand: I'm really new on this stuff what do I have to do to install grup. I have live cd handy can you give me step by step guidance I went to the site you have told me and I do not know actually what they are talking about [03:56] Can someone explain how to get rid of the eye candy during bootup? I rather see flying text with everything verbose. [03:56] I'm trying to further improve security on my server, and there's around 20 accounts on the server by default, so I plan to disable them if they aren't used for anything important. [03:56] DasEi: how do I fixthat error? [03:56] whats the sys reqs of Xubuntu [03:56] i'm watching the gui install those remaing updates now. the cml only reports that the same ones are held back. just trying understand. [03:56] dpupp, try uninstalling usplash [03:57] server_: I think I gave you the link before: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto ? [03:57] DasEi, i disagree. after the gui installed the updates, "apt-get upgrade" not longer reports held back packages. There IS something else UpdateManager did that apt did not. [03:57] porter1, thanks i will try that. [03:57] server_: look at section 7. [03:57] dpupp: you can use a graphical program called startupmanager to do what you want to do [03:57] Anyone know what/why the games account is used for? [03:58] for games [03:58] it's owner for games files [03:58] Shawnc : as there no further infos about the circumstances, try to purge findutils and reinstall, you might have to d/l that package manually (correct version) [03:58] kreg : just the time ? [03:59] What's the correct version I need? I'm new to ubuntu. [03:59] Well, then I guess I'll be disabling the games account, along with irc and all the other ones. === _Apple_ is now known as _MrsApple_ [03:59] DasEi, new install of 9.04. new to Ubuntu, but not new to linux. So far only time i've seen it. [03:59] porter1: they are already locked [03:59] porter1: don't do anything else to them [03:59] porter1: or you will break your system [03:59] Hrm. That's confusing. [04:00] kreg: if hold back, later on will install trml> Are they disabled somewhere beside /etc/passwd? [04:00] porter1: /etc/shadow [04:00] DasEi, oh well not big deal. Just trying to get a grip on how this debian stuff works. Thank yoU! [04:00] Hrm. [04:00] u guys mind if i ask a question about windows? [04:01] edge: depends on if the question is realted to Ubuntu in anyway or not [04:01] edge, i'd suggest just ask and see if you get shot. [04:01] Wait, so why are they necessary? [04:01] loads 12guage [04:01] edge: there is always ##windows chan... [04:01] where can i find how much memory my systemhas? [04:01] porter1: because this and couple other accounts and groups are owners of most of system files [04:01] I just installed windows xp and their are no drivers on it.... which means no internet due to their now being a driver for the network card.... I was wondering if anyone wouild know by chance how to fix this? [04:02] edge, please take to ##windows [04:02] is the ubuntu domain control i hear about, able to be a domain controller like AD in server 2003 ? Or is it still just a typical Samba running NT 4.0 style? [04:02] christopher: look for "system monitor" in the applications menu [04:02] Yes, but it isn't going to hurt to not have access to /usr/games? [04:02] edge: that's a kind of good thing, if it results in you using another OS, but more seriously you should take the question to ##windows [04:02] debac1e: i mean from console, im on server [04:02] okay i have an ubuntu question.... Im a newbie and i have no clue how to use Wine [04:02] kreg: its better now in beta samba 4 [04:03] !wine [04:03] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [04:03] wine putty.exe [04:03] /channel [04:03] edge: you install it, and then try your .exe in it [04:03] I want to run windows games on ubuntu really bad [04:03] kreg: but stil far away from replacement for windows server [04:03] edge, install wine, then check the appdb to see if it supports your app [04:03] jacekowski, can they do things like roaming profiles and other cool AD stuff? [04:03] edge: and if it dosn't just work, well configuring apps in Wine is not that easy [04:03] Oh [04:03] kreg: thats GPO related [04:03] edge first make sure its supported... [04:03] debac1e: i mean from the console [04:03] jacekowski, ok figured. I thought it was strange to see a linux sell itself on the idea of being a kicking Domain Controller. [04:03] !appdb > edge [04:03] edge, please see my private message [04:03] jacekowski, is it ok if I just set them to no shell in /usr/passwd? [04:03] !appdb | edge [04:03] edge: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [04:03] christopher: vmstat [04:04] ty [04:04] !appdb > visual basic [04:04] edge: some games just work, other games need configuring and then it might not be as good as Windows depending on the game, and virtualization isn't just there for 3D Directx games either, hence why gamers tend to dual boot [04:04] kreg: if you have something to create this GPO ( no managment tools for linux ) then you can do it [04:04] christopher: there might be something better [04:04] imo a Domain Controler is best done as a windows server, and likely always will be. Domian controlers as such a windows-ism anyhow. [04:04] AKA /bin/false [04:04] Also online a while back i saw this video of a gut that made his ubuntu desktop look like a cube and u could choose a side of the cube to view it and the sides of the cube are your different desktops.... how can i do this? [04:04] guy* [04:04] porter1: no [04:04] !compiz | edge [04:04] edge: Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz [04:04] porter1: just don't touch this accounts [04:05] edge install ccsm and get it set up in #compiz [04:05] ty [04:05] the basics, like simple auth, file, print, works fine. But the cool bells and whistles i've never successfully done in a Linux "domain controller" [04:05] I have a headphones question, can someone help me? I think it's a rather simple answer, but I'm new to Ubuntu and I have no idea what I'm doing [04:05] !ccsm > edge [04:05] edge, please see my private message [04:05] arand: I was following the instruction from the section 7 when I type sudo -s it's telling me "sudo: not found" I put the cd and did resque broken system. what are the step that I have to take? thanks man [04:05] Ok, fine. I won't. it still bothers me that these unnecessary accounts for a bare server are left hanging around. [04:05] porter1: don't touch any accounts or groups with gid or uid less than 1000 [04:05] it's not a big deal, they're disabled [04:06] porter1: because that's required by standard [04:06] gonna run, catch this ginormous chan later. [04:06] I have a headphones question, can someone help me? I think it's a rather simple answer, but I'm new to Ubuntu and I have no idea what I'm doing [04:06] kreg: it's really far away from being working replacement for windows based domain controller [04:08] Janelle: you can always ask [04:08] server_: I think if you choose a "rescue" option you may already be root, hence "sudo" will be uneccessary, just skip to next step might work... [04:08] can someone help me? I am using the latest version of kubuntu and can not figure out how to use my mp3 player. It has always looked like a flash drive in the past but it is not working now. If someone could help me with either a kde gui method or a cli method it would be a great help. [04:08] Thanks debacle, I plugged in the headphones and sound still comes out of the speakers, is there something I can do to make that not happen anymore? [04:09] where did you plug them in? [04:09] I plugged them into the headphones hole [04:09] tripple check [04:09] arand: that what I thought so I did grub the result was not found. anything else that I have to do ? [04:09] debac1e: sounds like a sound driver problem [04:09] Janelle: onboard sound? same card as the speakers are in? [04:10] sound goes in the headphones and out the speakers [04:10] how can i resolve this: NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth1: transmit timed out ? [04:10] the-vava: you can't [04:10] not sure what onboard sound is, sorry [04:10] jacekowski, what can be done? [04:10] the-vava: unless you have other problem it's completly normall [04:10] Janelle: is the sound card a pci card or built into the mother board? [04:11] the-vava: it happens sometimes === Twilo is now known as cfelectro [04:11] Janelle: do your speakers have an off switch? I'm sorry I can't be more helpful but it may just be easier to turn them off as you want :) [04:11] the-vava: if it happens too often ( like more than couple times per hour ) then it's a problem [04:11] it's my laptop [04:11] jacekowski, it's not normal. the connection is dysfunctional and i get these ... all the time ... when i use 2 network devices the same time [04:11] Janelle: what model? [04:12] server_: so the command "grub" responds with "not found"? If so I'd say you're not in the right environment... As described on the webpage, start the livecd normally, then start a terminal, then use sudo -s... etc. [04:12] the-vava: but otherwise you will have to get used to it [04:12] Why doesn't package.ubuntu.com load for me? [04:12] Janelle: HP Pavilion DV6xxx? [04:12] Sony Vaio [04:12] Janelle:try to use alsamixergui to deploy headphones [04:12] Is it down? [04:12] the-vava: details of your setup [04:12] packages* === Tetracomm is now known as hairybeetle [04:12] packages.ubuntu.com is it down? [04:12] thank you arand: I'll continue with what you have said [04:12] jacekowski, so i wonder if i can throttle the data the kernel puts to the devices or if i can modify the irq or .. ? [04:13] Janelle: vaio hates linux. I would search for your laptop and linux soud [04:13] the-vava: i need details of your setup [04:13] happy: i would say linux hate vaio [04:14] happy: i've had perfectly working wifi card in my vaio laptop [04:14] Shawnc: my first thought won't work so easy, findutils is an essential part of apt , as it seems; can't you give more information about the circumstances ? [04:14] how does gnome-terminal choose the window size when i open a new terminal? [04:14] same thing. they are mutual enemies [04:14] happy: and then couple updates later i've noticed that it's not working anymore [04:14] Well that sucks, I was talked into downloading Ubuntu and then I moved away from the person that downloaded it so I'm clueless how to do anything it it, quite sad [04:14] happy: because somebody changed drivers to open iwl drivers [04:14] jacekowski, 2 network cards and one onboard ethernet. what info do you need? i will have to type that to this terminal.. since i can't connect to pastebin from there right now [04:14] arand: I think what I did was resque mode that is not good at this poing I should have install live dc then go from there. and that what I am trying to do now. Thank you [04:14] happy: which doesn't support ad-hoc mode [04:14] DasEi: ? [04:15] jacekowski: that sucks :-\ [04:15] What do you mean? I don't really have any circumstances.. [04:15] i have several ntfs partitions here and ubuntu kinda messed up the partition lables/mounting name. how can i fix this? maybe restart from scratch and make NTFS tool remount them all again? [04:15] happy: and couple updates later their fix for that was just removing it completly [04:16] Janelle: what is your exact model? [04:16] Janelle: do you have a volume icon applet beside the clock applet? right click it and select volume control, you may be able to mute the speakers independently of the headphones that way [04:16] the-vava: card names would help [04:16] I have a sony Vaio [04:16] Janelle: more specific? [04:16] Shawnc: I tried to re-install findutils on a vm here, and it wants to take down two gigs of data, can't be the solution [04:16] I am looking at a long list of models [04:16] Hello friends, my keyboard shortcuts stopped working, well, at least print screen stopped. I tried resetting them in the GUI, and it still doesn't work. Any way to check if there's something grabbing the PrntScrn key? [04:16] happy: white sony vaio [04:17] jacekowski: what? [04:17] happy: with keyboard and touchpad [04:17] Happy it's a PCG-7T1L yes it's white [04:17] lol [04:17] happy: i'm giving you details of his laptop [04:17] how do i use desktop cube? [04:17] DasEi: I don't know how you can help me :P because this is getting really annoying. [04:17] Janelle: he's asking for model, you're saying "Ford", he wants to know "Ford Contour '99 LX 4-cylinder", if that helps you understand the question [04:17] how do i use desktop cube? [04:18] it's a PCG-7T1L [04:18] that's the model number [04:18] does anyone know why I can't get separate x screens working? twinview and xinerama both work. here are some screenshots and more info: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1201860 [04:18] jacekowski, the used Driver is 8339too and the vendor of these is Realtek Semiconductor RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ [04:18] Shawnc: I also have no straight advice, your apt is broken somehow, and you can't remember what caused this ?

You might try to get the right driver vom nvidia.com and install it manually [05:26] Neroon: I assume instructions for that are available via the ubuntu wiki? [05:26] I would just run it in the desktop, but I only have usb keyboards and it stops working when the 'select your language' appears [05:26] caffemisto: man dd (could use to copy from block dev to file and vise versa) [05:26] JavaAtom: could be, never tried that. Did it on my own. Isnt magical ;-) [05:27] Fresh install of Jaunty and running "sudo fdisk -ls" returns this: "Unable to seek on /dev/sda" Please help!! [05:27] help install avg in ubuntu remix work / not ? [05:27] Neroon: Found them. And I prefer having some instruction somewhere. This is my media pc, so I'm rather hoping that the three weeks I put into it aren't down the drain.

[05:28] hi eoeas [05:28] !ask | Prabhat_ [05:28] Prabhat_: 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. :-) [05:28] Neroon: I always go with nvidia when I build a linux box. [05:29] harddrive failure ? [05:29] ok [05:29] When I start the LiveCD install I choose the external disc but when it gets about to partiton it says it is going to make a change to my laptops internal drive. [05:29] JavaAtom: so will i, but i got a free pc with an old ati card [05:29] Neroon: This was a "free" pc (stole it from my sister and gave her a netbook) that I built for her to tinker with. [05:30] JavaAtom: Hehe [05:30] thanks for informasion !! i have for scan windows files. [05:30] enduser000, installing remastersys now :) [05:30] JavaAtom: So you're installing the driver already? [05:30] where can i set the path variable on linux? [05:30] sounds promising. thank you. ;) [05:30] Neroon: Ah, actually, just found the -manual- instructions, since the automagic stuff doesn't work.

(for Wine purposes) [05:31] I formatted my harddrive to install ubuntu but missed to copy some important dat....... earlier fedora was there on my machine. Any way to recover that formatted data ? [05:32] Prabhat_, it depends on where it was physically on the drive. Chances are if you installed a whole new OS, no. [05:32] alteregoa: try PATH=$PATH":/dir/dir" [05:32] somebody [05:32] Neroon: Are you sure that manually installing the latest nvidia driver will do anything? [05:32] ccsm [05:32] Prabhat_: sudo apte-get install testdisk [05:32] JavaAtom: Well, it worked every time for me here [05:32] man testdisk [05:32] alteregoa: ubuntu seems to not have a .bash_profile which throws me of [05:33] worked for me [05:33] recovers partitions and data [05:33] caffemisto: it is, I install ubuntu, remove some apps, update, and make a backup as new releases so when I reinstall I get a 6 min updated install ^^. gl with it [05:33] Pici: Thank you for commenting. [05:33] ty [05:33] Neroon: can do. [05:33] zenulatic is this persistent? [05:33] after restart? [05:34] The install was a completely new install......

Just got a "xserver-xorg-core is broken" message. [05:37] I have no sound in adobe flash based websites....any ideas? [05:37] Prabhat_: I c what you mean, don't wanna guess or experiment, so i'll say a don't know [05:37] Neroon: I've never got SMB to work reliably under Windows, either, so I figure Samba is just emulating it's faults faithfully. [05:37] JavaAtom: But that didnt come from the now installed nvidia driver [05:37] Neroon: Not yet. [05:37] Neroon: I'm trying to remove all existing nvidia drivers. [05:37] Blancmange: I cant believe that, it's too long around for that and too far spread [05:37] Prabhat_: How big is the data? [05:38] eoeas: i am rying sudo apte-get install testdisk but getting a error message saying "command not found" [05:38] Blancmange: SMB is a very reliable protocol. It works great on windows, and great under samba. [05:38] eoeas: It's aroung 2-3 GB [05:38] apt not apte [05:38] maybe? [05:38] JavaAtom: You might need to reinstall the whole xorg-core package again ... [05:39] eoeas: OK its apt [05:39] Neroon: I am guessing that requires apt-get purge xorg-core / install xorg-core? [05:39] Prabhat_: working now? [05:39] JavaAtom: I would guess so, too. Never had to do it === sergio is now known as helpmeplease [05:40] Hello [05:40] JavaAtom: But when did the message appear? [05:40] What does this mean "Failed to parse existing X config file '/etc/x11/xorg.conf'!"? [05:40] Neroon: When I tried using apt-get to remove nvidia-glx-180.

I can never get my head around the Master Browser issues (which i assume is related to SMB) with the mix of various Windows machines in my flat.

I have a Westinghouse Digital widescreen monitor (22.1") The resolution isn't right (And I don't actually know what the correct one is!) WindowsXP uses 1600*900 which works fairly well, but I can't seem to set that up in Linux - also, when I tried resetting my resolution through nvidia X Server settings, it lets me try a few (1360x768) works alright. But now - the main problem is that my Theme doesn't display.

[05:46] edbian, yes [05:46] eoeas: I have only one partition [05:47] rodd: That is very odd. Perhaps the install went wrong somewhere? [05:47] it should output a message 'starting lighttpd..'

It only ever works for a short time for me in Firefox... [05:50] latest [05:50] JavaAtom: What does apt-get freak about when you try to install some software. Can you give me errors? [05:50] edbian: Not intentionally. The update manager installed updates, but then my X ran in low-resolution mode. [05:50] helpmeplease, latest [05:50] JavaAtom: Ic Ic. What did you do? Can you recap (at least vaguely) for me? [05:50] usually once a day [05:50] 4.X it just type in the search box and it should ask you if you want to search common Bittorrent sites. [05:51] JavaAtom: what does apt-get do or say? [05:51] Anyone? before I smash this laptop? "sudo fdisk -ls" yeilds "Unable to seek on /dev/sda" on a FRESH install of Jaunty??? [05:51] Neroom: I guess it's perfectly normal that Sambas must ask you for the username and password, even though you are the 'same' user on each host. It's just not in a position to know you are the same user on each host. I'm sure if there was a method for it to join you in a seamless way, that method could be used by another user to gain your privilleges. [05:51] neroon & edbian: I mis-spoke --- recapping: I updated my nvidia drivers, apparently, to "185.19.0" via the update manager. I restarted and I got to a low-resolution screen, tried to change the resolution and the system claimed I wasn't using nvidia drivers. [05:51] JavaAtom: I got booted. I'm back now! :) [05:52] JavaAtom: At what point to apt-get freak out? [05:52] Neroon & edbian: From there, I've been trying to reinstall packages. [05:52] edbian: I don't want to spam the channel. [05:52] eoeas: thanks for the guidance........ I am refering to the documantation as u said [05:52] Blencmunge: I'm not definetely sure, but I remember vaguely that was different some time ago [05:52] edbian: Can I pm you what I just said a moment ago? [05:52] JavaAtom: Yes [05:53] edbian: you remember me? lol I could mount the encyrpted home.. well I reinstalled.. now "sudo fdisk -ls" returns with "Unable to seek on /dev/sda" what you think?

[05:54] WIGGMPk: Well for one there is no such thing as "-ls" just -l for fdisk [05:54] can anyone help me with this? i keep getting this email like every day, about a locale error: http://pastebin.ca/1499814 [05:54] edbian: sorry, typo [05:54] JavaAtom: Uh, wrong question. I don't use irc very frequently ... [05:54] Prabhat_: power user :P (normal) [05:54] WIGGMPk: Did you reformat? [05:55] Neroon: Perhaps the password thing was successful and more persistent than you remembered. Sometimes I surprise myself with the persistence of SFTP/SSH login authentication. :) [05:55] Neroon & edbian: /join #javaatom_help [05:55] JavaAtom: What made apt-get freak out? What is it saying? [05:55] JavaAtom: will do [05:55] edbian: yes.. reinstalled three times now.. same results.. its still on the same RAID0 array [05:56] WIGGMPk: IS this the same encrypted /home partition you're trying to access? [05:56] Blancmange: Well but I dont remember forgetting it every few minutes either. Or even on entering another share on the same pc [05:56] eoeas: really admire your knowlwdge on ubuntu [05:56] edbian: nope.. reformatted everything.. gave up on the data and called it a lose [05:56] Is there any way to get the Flash plugin to work with more than one tab open?

[05:57] !sound [05:57] 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 [05:57] edbian: the only thing I can think of is the newly downloaded install disc got messed up and im in the process of downloading another one right now.. [05:57] Prabhat_: but thanks [05:58] WIGGMPk: What is the issue besides not being able to fdisk -l ? [05:58] edbian: nothing that I can tell.. Ubuntu works fine [05:58] hmm [05:59] WIGGMPk: Then why are you downloading a new disk? What are you trying to fix? Nothing? [06:00] edbian: fdisk doesnt recognize my partition tables which is a big deal to me [06:00] eoeas: If I still face some issue then where can I catch you ?

The instructions are for usb-creator, unetbootin and isotostick.sh - none of these seem to make any sense to me (the script works most, but it complains partition isn't flagged bootable. cfdisk doesn't even think there are partitions on the stick. Stick works..) [06:05] edbian: nope.. saw it one of the posts from google'in though [06:05] yeah [06:05] Gnea, how? never used cron [06:06] WIGGMPk: That's where I got it from too. I think that you have a bad drive or the array is messing things up. All of the google results involve the Array [06:06] Oh. More correctly: unetbootin won't start, usb-creator will just freeze at the first phase [06:06] * Blancmange is looking for an IRC<-->XMPP-MUC bridge that works.

The onboard speakers appear to work, and I could fix the missing external audio by fussing with the mixer's weird surround and front channels. How can I either turn on the external audio or find those channels in Karmic/pulseaudio? [06:07] WIGGMPk: NP. I would keep track of this issue. You didn't do anything wrong and you can replicate the error which means we have a bug in the system. [06:07] WIGGMPk: You should make a bug report on launchpad [06:07] edbian: yeah ill get to that later tonight =) thanks [06:07] WIGGMPk: NP [06:08] tanath: like this: sudo /etc/cron.daily/man-db [06:08] whats a good app for scanning and removing/deleting viruses within ubuntu?

[06:18] Gnea, basically it autoconfigures how it should now, unlike earlier releases. only a recent update of some kind borked my graphics [06:18] Phill: I am out of ideas then, sorry [06:19] Could anyone help me out with a GRUB problem? I'm trying to load a disk.img in Bochs with stage1 and stage2 of GRUB, but whenever I try 'kernel /home/user/kernel.bin' in GRUB, it gives me "Error 17: could not mount selected partition."

I added the cdemu and virtualbox repository, but the programs are not there, they are only installable with apt-get [06:21] gabkdlly_: It happened before, in December, Slart and I debugged it all. It's my monitor, not able to tell X what resolution it should be. Now that I upgraded, I reformatted / and /etc/X11 aswell as my xorg.conf file went with it. [06:21] So, I'm back at square one. [06:21] Gnea, you try alsamixer in terminal? [06:21] whats the package that you can mess with compiz settings [06:22] is there a way to update the actual list of packages rather than the versions of the packages in synaptic? [06:22] wow, office 2007 runing perfect in ubuntu, but openoffice it is like gnome, simple [06:22] gabkdlly_: And, I can't open up terminal it seems - it uses transparency - which has failed me. So I don't really know what I can do. [06:22] 234 MB of memory used and i only have xchat open? [06:22] zenlunatic, compizconfig-settings-manager [06:23] tanath: No mixer elems found [06:23] Hey [06:23] This is cool [06:23] Want singles? [06:23] NO SINGLES FOR YOU [06:23] SnuggleBucketXO: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:23] zenlunatic: And while you're at it, install fusion-icon as well [06:23] Gnea, card recognized?

[06:24] tanath: if i bring up audacious, I can select it and play music through it, but the volume is jacked up all the way [06:24] nautilus? [06:25] tanath: and that's only through the line-out jack, I don't have a 5.1 surround speaker system for it yet [06:25] Gnea, audacious has different output plugins you can choose. figure out which ones work? [06:25] is there a way to update the actual list of packages rather than the versions of the packages in synaptic? it seems that using the reload option only updated version of the packages inside the added repository [06:25] tanath: I went with the alsa on that one, but I need to be able to change the volume - it has a physical knob on it that's supposed to do that, but it's not hardware-controlled [06:26] hi [06:26] Gnea, try 'sudo alsa force-reload' and see if you're able to then. you have pulse audio installed? it seems to cause issues and prolly shouldn't be used yet [06:27] i am newer [06:27] hoo [06:27] hey [06:27] how often should a buisness back up thier data [06:27] exit [06:28] what is 'thier data'? [06:28] I got a drive from 07 [06:28] it was full of back up for a server [06:29] compiz is not being loaded automaticly. where can i check for possible errors? [06:30] is there a way to update the actual list of packages rather than the versions of the packages in synaptic? [06:30] Gnea, check group permissions? [06:30] MrPiracy: not loaded in gnome automatically?

[06:31] DOSchild: when you "update" you are getting the full list of packages provided by the repositories you have set [06:32] Neroon: nope .... i just booted it [06:32] hey all [06:32] new here [06:32] Neroon: command line is just compiz rite? [06:32] My scroll wheel seems inverted - how do I... uninvert it? [06:32] hey anyone know what program will open a .db file?? [06:32] Phill: turn it upside down [06:33] Gnea, hm, well TBH, it'd be easier to help you if it were easier for me to read :P hard to look stuff up when i can barely see. don't suppose you can take a further stab at my graphics issue? [06:33] MrPiracy: well i dont use the comm line, but you put just compiz into the startup? [06:33] MrPiracy: you might try fusion-icon there [06:33] musikgoat|main, i use the reload button but virtualbox and cdemu still aren't coming up on synaptic [06:33] hey carpediem how ya doin [06:34] MrPiracy: and it should remember when started, which window manager was used last [06:34] Gnea, it's really frustrating [06:34] Neroon: yes, just compiz and i had installed this fusion-icon thingy ... u think it would be it? [06:34] tanath: I can give it a go... this is my /proc/asound/cards: 1 [S51 ]: USB-Audio - SB X-Fi Surround 5.1 [06:34] Phill: sorry, I couldn't resist. Actually, look in /etc/X11/xorg.conf for ZAxisMapping, and switch the order of the numbers [06:34] Neroon: i'll take it out of startup and see what happens [06:34] Tempus_Fugit: hi, doing pretty good [06:34] DOSchild: what repositories do you have checked? [06:34] MrPiracy: you could do it by compiz on itself, but if you're going to use fusion-icon anyway ... [06:34] !ati [06:34] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [06:35] anyone know what will read a .db file [06:35] MrPiracy: I would put fusion-icon to startup [06:35] Tempus_Fugit: usually that's SQLite, but there's no guarantee [06:35] Neroon: let me see, brb [06:35] musikgoat|main, I have the two default ones checked, the updated Wine repository, the updated Virtualbox Repository, and the cdemu repository [06:35] yeah i tried that and didnt work [06:36] ty [06:36] Tempus_Fugit: if it is SQLite, there's a SQLite browser for firefox that works pretty good. [06:36] Gnea, you don't have any funky audio/sound settings in the bios do you? [06:36] Tempus_Fugit: it could be anything, could you give some context? [06:36] hmmmm ok will check into that ty [06:36] tanath: have you read this? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver [06:37] tanath: nah, bios has nothing to do with it - there's an onboard audio, but it's crap, so I disabled it there - that's why I got this usb one [06:37] DOSchild: i believe virtualbox is in multiverse [06:37] !file virtualbox [06:37] Sorry, I don't know anything about file virtualbox [06:37] Tempus_Fugit: lots of embedded databases use the .db extension, so you may need to tell us what this db file is. [06:37] Gnea, was just about to ask if you disabled on-board [06:37] !info virtualbox [06:37] Package virtualbox does not exist in jaunty [06:37] Gnea, Torrentflux is absolutely perfect! and it was very easy to set up thank you!! [06:37] the virtualbox in the normal repos is crappy [06:37] And thanks to the others that mad suggestions! [06:37] If you want to use usb or 3d acceleration, download the deb or use the repo vbox provides [06:37] *made [06:37] Neroon: yes, i think it was fusion-icon causing it [06:38] Dulak: well, it's far from crappy, it just lacks a few features that Sun doesn't open-source [06:38] Neroon: it booted up fine no probs this time [06:38] MrPiracy: So you took it out? [06:38] ok well right now im on my tmobile G1 in an app ported into firc and we have an app that backs up sms msgs and i was trying to read them with my laptop connected to my phone and the backup file is .db [06:38] MrPiracy: Btw, did you just reboot? [06:38] Gnea, yeah, i've seen that === mitch is now known as Guest16752 [06:38] carpediem: in comparison it's crappy, it's not actually crappy I agree [06:38] yes, i took both compiz and fusion-icon ... i had put conpoiz just to test [06:38] i have a pink square in the top left hand side of the screen saying unknow how do i remove it [06:38] Neroon: yes, i just reboot [06:38] reboot [06:38] MrPiracy: I see. But no need to reboot, just restart x [06:39] Neroon: i never know how to do it [06:39] musikgoat|main, i found it in synaptic, it seems the quicksearch index isn't being updated [06:39] Neroon: hehe [06:39] does anyone know of a way to watch flash player at 2x [06:39] MrPiracy: I do it by ctrl+alt+backspace [06:39] Tempus_Fugit: oh, yeah, that might be JavaDB...not sure what android uses [06:39] MrPiracy: kills x instantly and it starts new [06:39] DOSchild: interesting [06:40] musikgoat|main, I had to scroll down to the v's and I found it, but searching for it won't find it, only finds the older versions [06:40] Tempus_Fugit: hmm, nope, they use Sqlite according to the docs. [06:40] ok well anyone who wants to play with android programming can get the sdk and adb for free [06:40] Gnea, hm, looks like i missed something. fglrx was listed in /etc/modules [06:40] MrPiracy: still here? [06:40] Neroon: it doesnt work for me, tried many times [06:41] Neroon: when i was trying to get my video card to work [06:41] MrPiracy: hm, using kde here, not gnome. Just a sec [06:41] Neroon: also ctrl+alt+f4 [06:41] hey [06:41] can you disable UAC in ubuntu?

How can i decrease its sensitivity [06:42] i love the new 9.04 [06:42] painted: login as root, but for that u have to enable it [06:42] how do you log in as root [06:42] tanath: aah [06:42] tanath: I think I'm gonna hang this up for tonight and try again later [06:42] open a terminal [06:43] and type su [06:43] MrPiracy: sudo apt-get install dontzap [06:43] then the pw [06:43] hi, I want to have same keyboard shortcuts as gnome's in kde. is there any solution?

[06:48] no, use sudo -i [06:48] Gnea, np [06:48] Neroon: how do i use the ctrl-alt-backspace? right here or do i have to log off first? [06:48] this is linux there is a way to do everything...just gotta have the know how and patience to do it [06:48] sudo bash; then passwd root [06:48] MrPiracy: if you use it now, it'll kill all x-applications and restart x [06:49] !root | mb_again_ [06:49] mb_again_: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible.

It was MrPiracy question. [06:50] hey guys i got a sound issue\ [06:50] tehbaut, I thought u were thinking of the newer one [06:51] I installed 9.04 this morning, but didn't feel like messing with all the drivers... seems it's less compatible with my machine otb, than the 8.xx series [06:51] !root | MrPiracy [06:51] MrPiracy: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [06:51] Neroon: so u can login as root .... yes i think it was what picochu said [06:51] MrPiracy: Of course, you can. But there is no root password as such [06:51] pretty sure i got the drivers installed but no sound [06:52] but it seems as though 8.04 is missing some of the top-right corner details than 8.10 had [06:52] !rules > mb_again_ [06:52] mb_again_, please see my private message [06:52] and commands i can use to enable it or something>? [06:52] Neroon: try this .... sudo passwd root [06:52] Neroon: ;) [06:53] trying to install a tar.gz that is unzipped.. seems like I don`t have the right command [06:53] MrPiracy: Thanks, but no thanks ;-) [06:53] MrPiracy: that command is to change the root password being a sudoer [06:53] MrPiracy: don't advise people to set a root password, use sudo -i to get a root shell if you have to have one [06:53] :-) [06:53] ./ [06:53] Dulak: some times you might need that for security [06:54] ftab: that will also let you login as root [06:54] ftab: what security is better without an audit trail? I haven't had root enabled on a machine in 10 years now, and I can't think of any good reason to start. [06:54] MrPiracy: yes but passwd command is specific for changing the paddword [06:54] thanks for the sudo -i saves time [06:54] Dulak: there was a guy here asking how to disable "uac", that's why i came up with this ... i think these "type password" boxes all the time are annoying [06:55] MrPiracy: Then you can still start a root shell [06:55] Dulak, you are right but if you are a sudoer then you are root, sudoer user id points to that of the root uid [06:55] MrPiracy: you can change the timeout on the password from sudo so it only prompts you every so often after the initial one [06:55] ftab: type that command, enable "allow admin login" in system / administration / login window / security [06:55] o.o [06:55] how do I get to the partition manager? [06:55] ftab: then type root as username and the password u just set [06:55] I have an IBM laptop on which I can see traffic at the transport layer but I cannot get http access at the application layer any ideas ? [06:55] ftab: voilá [06:56] ftab: sudo gives and audit trail, allowing a direct root login does not [06:56] i like when people try to add themself to a group with sudo and end up deleting themself from wheel [06:56] ftab: you are making things less secure by enabling root, not more secure [06:56] it is good times [06:56] hi all. what package will give me man pages for select()? [06:56] MrPiracy: And why would anybody need a security hole (root account) in Ubuntu? [06:56] tehbaut: gparted might help you [06:56] Neroon: root isn't a security hole. not if you manage it properly [06:57] ftab, what was run during the install then? [06:57] isn't that included by default? [06:57] heya, was wondering if there are any acer aspire one users here, I can't seem to get my webcam working [06:57] * hdon snickers [06:57] Wow, we got a lot of genius security people in here tonight. [06:57] DCC C:\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ [06:57] Dulak, I agree :-) and I would also recommend to use sudoer, but again sudeor is root when you issue sudo [06:57] picochu, Neroon, Dulak, ftab: why are u guys so scared about this root account in the first place? [06:57] root passwords are alays short, like admin, nimda, god, iamgod, you know, therefor security risk [06:58] picochu: There is just no need for a root account. Everything can be done without it. And installing one just makes it easier breaking into [06:58] ftab: and sudo logs every command run, so you can see exactly who just messed up your box [06:58] picochu, Neroon, Dulak, ftab: what hole exactly does it open? [06:58] MrPiracy: not me [06:58] MrPiracy, we are not scared, but just from security point of view there is an alternate [06:58] ftab: allowing a direct root login, no log. Who just typed that command??? I don't know, cuz I enabled root. [06:58] Neroon: obviously you have never tried install Oracle 11 on a linux box [06:58] ftab: define "security point" ... what happens if root password is set? [06:58] why do u want to enable root anyways? what are the benefits? [06:58] MrPiracy: Without one, an attacker at least doesnt know which account to use [06:58] Dualk, we agree but it's MrPiracy who don't :-) [06:59] picochu: you can sudo -i to get the root shell and install oracle just fine [06:59] picochu: yessssssssssss! now i remember why i needed that ... ORACLE 11 [06:59] so why is 8.04 missing that top-right-corner "tray"? [06:59] Dualk, I was just differenciating the sudoers and the root [06:59] Does anyone know why my Ubuntu boot-disk will loadup the install prompt but it has an I/O error "Error reading boot CD" when I try to install it? I guess it is because the CDRom is not identified but would that be the only reason? any help would be appreciated :) [06:59] tehbaut: did you tried gparted? [07:00] tehbaut: ,because it's a resonably new thing, also Ubuntu's version isn't even part of upstream Gnome, which is also why shut down and logout get removed from the system menu :(, really it's only meant to be a user switcher [07:00] ftab, it's not in the list of apps (or else I'm blind, or it requires a terminal window, or an install) [07:00] vph: what happens if you choose to scan the disc for errors instead of install? [07:00] Neroon: account to use where??? if this attacker can get to my root account, why cant he get to my user account? [07:00] :-) [07:00] there's nothing wrong with root if you know what you are doing.... sudo is just as risky as su [07:00] nothing will happen [07:00] tehbaut which version are you using? [07:00] Trombone: Error reading boot CD. [07:00] sebsebseb, so the tray is part of 8.10 but not 8.04? [07:00] tehbaut try sudo apt-get install gparted [07:01] ftab, I'm running 8.04 right now [07:01] tehbaut: did you mean the log out and shutdown thing? [07:01] tehbaut: if you mean the applicaitons tray, there should be something [07:01] vph: maybe the disc is damaged and you need a new one? or somethings wrong with your hardware [07:01] MrPiracy: Every attacker tries to get to the root account. But how would he know, which, if any account on a pc might get root rights [07:01] picochu: even if u DONT know what ur doing. There are several newbies using ubuntu who has no clue of where to click or what to install [07:01] and also when you enable the User switcher menu in Jaunty it removes the shut down from the menu [07:01] sebsebseb, uh all I can remember is that it had a network status and quick-connect for wifi [07:01] tehbaut then run sudo apt-get install gparted [07:01] Neroon: how will the attacker know i am running linux? i have 4 different OS'es here [07:01] tehbaut: ok we weren't talking about the same thing, the only thing we were talking about that was the same, is top right corner of the panel [07:01] ftab, is it available by default it 8.10? [07:02] Neroon: anti-virus AND firewall [07:02] tehbaut which thing? [07:02] irc clients often use the user name as...username [07:02] Trombone: I've made 3 coasters so far... do you think if I swapped a cdrom with a different computer it would solve the problem? because I have a dvdrom that could be switched easily. [07:02] sebsebseb, so I'm looking for the "system tray" ...is that right? [07:02] tehbaut: yep, and not the other thing, which I hope is missing still in 8.04 :) [07:02] ftab, a partition manager included by default in 8.10 ...is that true? [07:02] tehbatu system tray in Ubuntu is called Notification Icons [07:02] MrPiracy: remote root login is something i won't recommend [07:02] so someone comes to irc there's a good chance I know their user account ;D [07:02] hmm not sure. [07:02] Trombone: and with the three coasters they all did the same thing. [07:03] vph: what burn speed did you burn them at [07:03] MrPiracy: If it only where that easy to stop an intruder [07:03] picochu: whoaa, that's something different [07:03] tehbaut: you should be able to add stuff to the panel [07:03] sudo apt-get install will prompt if that is already there tehbaut [07:03] vph: its worth a try. if you get an error when using a brand new disk that you made yourself just a minute ago, u almost definitely have a hardware error somewhere [07:03] sebsebseb, so the notification icons were added with 8.10? [07:03] tehbaut: which notification icons? [07:03] MrPiracy: you are speaking from obvious years of experience running enterprise servers in production. [07:03] tehbaut: 8.10 is a good release [07:03] sebsebseb, , I'm not seeing any notification area at all in 8.04 [07:04] picochu, Neroon, Dulak, ftab: besides, what would an attacker do with root account that he can't with my user account (which happens to be admin)? [07:04] MrPiracy: do u have a particular reason for using a root account? its actually one less command if you just use sudo [07:04] tehbaut: sadly 8.10 isn't LTS, if you run the panel resting command that can solve stuff [07:04] I had 8.10 before, but had to drop it for a while [07:04] tehbaut: why? [07:04] Dulak: this is a home computer, not an enterprise [07:04] MrPiracy: root is a known attack vector, your username is not [07:04] hard drive changes, I wasn't using ubuntu for a while [07:05] !panels | tehbaut [07:05] tehbaut: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [07:05] Dulak: alright, alright, u win [07:05] MrPiracy: but you're advocating anyone to use your crappy security policy by telling people to enable root on their machine, you are not qualified to do that. You can do it for YOURSELF, but don't spread your ignorance to others. [07:05] my bottom gnome-panel isn't showing. and if i run 'gnome-panel --replace' then certain icons don't show in notification area anymore :-/ [07:05] MrPiracy: bottom line, there are thousands of developers out there who made the root account innactive by default, and at least a few of them were smarter than you [07:05] MrPiacy, as a general rule of thumb, there are some kernel level calls which root can perform, I mean root has got the access for each and every thing from deleting the files to changing the config without any further authentication [07:05] tehbaut: run the command the bot gave, that should help [07:05] that's why root is always discouraged [07:05] MrPiracy: He needs to find an account that even may get root rights. Since not every account should be able to. But isnt it easier, when I know there is a root account i can concentrate on, instead of having to find the names of the other account and trie those? [07:05] tanath: uh see abovee [07:05] ftab, so you are saying that gparted is used during installation, but after that it's not included in the standard utilities/apps by default? [07:06] tehbaut→ Correct. [07:06] !panels | tanath [07:06] tanath: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [07:06] tehbaut, try gparted in terminal [07:06] MenZa, correct re: gparted? [07:06] sebsebseb, which defaults are those? i'm not sure i want to [07:06] Menza that's not correct [07:06] Trombone: just disable remote root [07:06] tanath: it will reset your panels back to default [07:06] sebsebseb, i have a number of icons & applets i don't want to replace [07:06] tehbaut→ Yes. A simple sudo apt-get install gparted should install it. [07:06] ok [07:07] tanath: you can add the bottom panel back anyway [07:07] Dulak, Trombone: easy fellows, i agree the root account unset is more secure. i just dont see the whole point of having it kept that way in a HOME environment when enabling it would be much less annoying and easier [07:07] sebsebseb, i'm not willing to do that without knowing what it'll do. it would be tedious to redo my customizations [07:07] hmm, can you create a user called root with no privs? [07:07] MrPiracy: How do you think, that makes it easier? [07:07] trying to install an unzipped tar file but don`t seem to have the right comand [07:07] tanath: it will undone your customizations [07:08] sebsebseb, then that's not something i want to do [07:08] off topic: how do I force a ntfs part to mount if the ntfs part is marked to be in use (windows didn't shutdown correctly) [07:08] Neroon: for those who just want to try ubuntu, yes ... no need to keep typing the same password over and over again [07:08] Erekose: is the file extension simply .tar or .tar.gz or .tgz ? [07:08] tehbaut: that's not off topic [07:08] tehbaut: there's some sort of command, but you can also boot up Windows again and shut it down properly [07:08] ((((((( hello Room )))))) [07:08] sebsebseb, meant off topic from my latest topics :P [07:08] does ubuntu support usb drives ? Ive found the mounting a bit troublesome [07:08] hello [07:08] Neroon: i know you will have a heart attach but turning off UAC is the first thing i do when i install windows at home [07:08] MrPiracy: So you want to start x and being online as root? [07:08] shalom [07:08] i just installed ubuntu yesterday [07:08] sebsebseb, and i already said i didn't want to run 'gnome-panel --replace' which reloads it, and you're telling me to kill it? >.< [07:09] Neroon: in a home testing environment yes, why not? [07:09] guys just remember active root is a matter of choice.. AIX, Solaris, Debian, RH, IRIX, they all have root accounts [07:09] can anyone tell me how do i install C++ ? [07:09] sebsebseb, yes I just need to move a couple files to that part [07:09] tanath: you can add a panel back without running a command [07:09] picochu: even ubuntu does [07:09] before I reboot windows, ideally [07:09] MrPiracy: not enabled by default [07:09] Restinpeace→ What do you mean? C++ is a programming language. [07:09] picochu: but it DOES have one ;) [07:09] musikgoat|main: its .tar.gz [07:10] MrPiracy: Because one false click might kill everything. [07:10] I'm guessing he wants to install gcc [07:10] MenZa, what irc app are you using? j/w [07:10] MenZa: yes i agree. I mean how do i install the app? [07:10] Erekose: tar xzvf file.tar.gz [07:10] What app, Restinpeace? [07:10] sebsebseb, if i reload gnome-panel, there's an icon or two that'll no longer show in the notification area. if i reset panels to default, i may lose all the icons i've added to the top panel, and which applets i've added [07:10] Restinpeace→ You mean a C++ compiler? An editor? An IDE? [07:10] MenZa: anjuta? if i'm not mistaken. [07:10] MrPiracy: And where do you think the whining would start first, after they lost all their data? [07:10] MenZa: yes [07:10] tanath: yes [07:10] Can someone help me fix my gamepad? It's going all strange when I try to use VGA and ePSXe [07:10] Neroon: login into X with root is a very very bad idea [07:10] sebsebseb, i'd rather reload than lose my customizations [07:10] MenZa: sorry, that's what i mean actually. [07:11] tanath: you have said this stuff about three times now [07:11] tanath: or three tiems [07:11] musikgoat|main: I have it unzipped but its not installing right [07:11] hi [07:11] ive only had linex 4 a day [07:11] I'm new here.

THe password thing as I said can be tuned in sudoers so you don't have to type that root password so much when you use sudo, I tune mine to 20 minutes and very rarely end up having to type it multiple times in a single session.

Many of the guys I work with do this as well. [07:13] Dulak: my personal choice would be to type my password only ONCE when i log in ... and that's it ... after that, my computer should know it's me sitting here [07:14] I'm David, [07:14] Gnea, well, i removed a lot of old fglrx left-overs, and graphics are much improved. :) [07:14] MrPiracy: And you need root rights every now and then?

The ones who have no clue (apparently like you) don't. And it's always fun times when those dumbasses go to the bathroom and leave a root shell logged in.

[08:09] I also state "I know that this is not an issue of the keys themselves, as I have tried reassigning the shortcuts, and they still don't work." [08:09] Andorin: Err, how did it happen across separate comps? You got more than one of the same keyboard on different pcs running and both start to have the issue? [08:10] Neroon: I don't know how it happened. Two computers, one PC and one laptop, that are both running Jaunty have been experiencing seemingly random failures in the keyboard shortcuts.

The last few lines should tell you if the kernel sees the usb drive. You can paste it to http://paste.ubuntu.com for us to look at [08:21] when i open a window, it doesn't seem to open within my screensize IE opens half offscreen [08:21] <^cheeky> richardcavell, see iam learning php+mysql and know a lil of apache which iam hoping to install [08:21] ^cheeky: if you run it without a graphical user interface, you can probably use a more up to date version [08:22] ^cheeky: Okay.

[08:22] ^cheeky: if you don't need a GUI then you can get away with smaller RAM [08:22] ^cheeky: I was thinking 'damn small linux' or 'puppy'.... [08:22] danny_: yes you can [08:23] richardcavell, i cant seem to find a tutorial on it. i just downloaded it [08:23] mm the machine wont connect to the web, has a few issues I can paste to a thumb disk though and then use this box , I will try [08:23] Andorin: I managed to disable some of my keysyms by fiddling with Accessibility technologies [08:23] says its unable to enumerate USB device on port 3 [08:24] Andorin: Look through all the tabs and see if anything fixes it [08:24] richardcavell: Alright. [08:24] danny_: Why do you need a tutorial on firefox? [08:24] richardcavell, im not very good with linux [08:24] Andorin: if xev is registering it, it means that the keyboard shortcuts is working. Something else is intercepting the keypress. [08:24] installing FF3.5 is a it tricky [08:25] danny_: have you installed it from the repositories? [08:25] bonko56: no need to paste it. Try googling the error message. I don't recognise it, offhand... [08:25] richardcavell: That's along the lines of what I was figuring, but I'm not advanced enough to know how to look for that. [08:25] it is not in the repositories [08:25] richardcavell, can u help me install 3.5 not from synaptic? synaptic installs some beta version or something [08:25] danny_: it shouldn't [08:26] danny_: what version of ubuntu are you using? [08:26] richardcavell, karmic [08:26] Andorin: neither am I but I found it through trial and error [08:26] richardcavell: Didn't see anything in Accessibility that helped, and they still don't work. [08:26] danny_: google for ubuntuzilla [08:26] bonko56: btw, what version of OS are you running? [08:26] richardcavell, it installs some version that starts with "sh" [08:26] danny_: scratch that, sorry got confused [08:26] danny_: shiretoko [08:27] richardcavell, yes [08:27] danny_: shiretoko is firefox 3.5. They can't use the name firefox because of legal reasons [08:27] danny_: but it's the same thing [08:27] richardcavell, but i cant install any addons or anything with it [08:27] its 9.04 losher I have pasted the result [08:27] Andorin: keep looking for it. You know it's not the shortcut. Do you have compiz Settings manager installed? That often steals my keyboard shortcuts [08:28] richardcavell: I... don't know what that is, but it's possible. [08:28] bonko56: you need to tell us the url of the paste... [08:28] anyone here that uses m-audio firewire solo in ubuntu can give me some help? [08:28] For anyone interested - I found the answer, 7zip can extract from *.msi files. [08:28] Andorin: Go to System -> Preferences. Do you see "CompizConfig Settings Manager" on the list? [08:29] danny_: is it just that your addons are not compatible? [08:29] richardcavell: Nope, and nothing like it. [08:29] danny_: I'm using firefox 3.5 (shiretoko) with jaunty and it works just fine [08:29] http://paste.ubuntu.com/221728/ losher eh [08:29] richardcavell, yeah anything thats supposed to be for 3.5 doesnt work with it [08:29] Andorin: Hmmm. You'll just have to find what's stealing your keypresses. For example, on Firefox 3.5 F11 is supposed to go to full screen mode. After I installed FF 3.5, it stole my F11 shortcut and I had to set it again. [08:29] danny_: Like what? [08:30] richardcavell, misc themes and such [08:30] richardcavell: Hmm... alright. Any tips on this hunt? [08:30] bonko56: actually, it looks like it worked, and your device is /dev/sdc1. Can you sudo fsck /dev/sdc1 ? [08:31] danny_: well some of them are not compatible with 3.5 yet. My 3.0 theme was disabled after I upgraded. [08:31] Andorin: trial and error. Try not to scream too loudly. [08:31] ok thanks [08:31] be back later [08:31] danny_: About 10 out of 12 of my addons were disabled when I upgraded to 3.5 [08:31] richardcavell: Well, sure, but, like... should I go into the system monitor and kill processes one by one until the shortcuts work? [08:31] how do i install firefox 3.5 in jaunty? or, should I not bother? [08:31] Where to find the most campatible driver for Compaq notebook? [08:31] Andorin: I don't think so [08:32] Andorin: I think you've just got to use trial and error.

[08:32] Andorin: Just enable and disable things until it works [08:32] thanks [08:32] Andorin: that's how I solved it. [08:32] Oh, fantastic. [08:32] Andorin: Sorry to be so vague [08:32] Search the synaptic package manager for firefox. [08:33] Alvinware: specifically, firefox-3.5 [08:33] Alvinware: because there are tons of hits for firefox [08:33] Im not sure I got the syntax correct losher, that command returned nothing in terminal "sudo fsck /dev/sdk1" [08:34] HI [08:34] bonko56: did you type it correctly? sudo fsck /dev/sdc1 (not sdk1) [08:34] wera: HI [08:34] richardcavell: I don't... know how to enable and disable everything. =/ [08:35] richardcavell: This seems like a hugely daunting task for someone who's only been using Ubuntu for a few months. [08:35] okies oops will try again kbd locked up have to rebbot hang on a minute [08:35] Andorin: Mate, the way I solved it was just through trial and error. I can't be more specific. [08:35] Andorin: something is intercepting your keypress and preventing it from reaching GNOME [08:36] <^cheeky> um sorry stupid question .. but if you dont mind, can i use synergy if i only have one monitor with mutliple inputs and use my same keyboard and mouse on two machines connected to one monitor using synergy ? === chaky_ is now known as chaky [08:37] richardcavell: Thanks a lot, you've been a great help. I don't feel as though I'm any closer to solving this... but at least I understand what I'm facing now. [08:37] ^cheeky, synergy has nothing to do with monitors, it just serves mouse position a keystokes to another system. [08:37] Andorin: well at least you're not alone [08:38] Hi. The right grub mode is 803, not 792. [08:38] <^cheeky> durt, so then it should work .. [08:38] i guess [08:38] Which website that i should browse to get the most compatible drivers for Compaq notebook? [08:38] that sounds interesting ^cheeky [08:39] I am using one monitor and two computers [08:39] Alvinware: google.com [08:39] <^cheeky> i am not even sure , this other machine will turn on .. maybe off for a lil adventure [08:39] No specific one?

[08:41] Alvinware, majority of hardware is supported automatically, so If you have an exception it would be best to go to the OEM's website [08:41] w0jrl: are you sure you upgraded? in jaunty you just install 3.5, and keep the older one [08:41] thanks very much [08:42] ok, #ubuntu server admin.

Lost my net for a few hours, and resorted to SAMBA :-( in the meantime) [08:57] xray7224, i see [08:58] yes its a v1 usb port, I also cant read it on a machine with usb2 though [08:58] defrysk: my advice isnt ideal id say make a network script using ifconfig dhcpcd and iwconfig [08:58] but like i said its not ideal [08:58] bonko56: but there are other machines on which it *is* readable? [08:58] is it a hard prob for v1 v2 usb or soft? [08:59] xray7224, using wicd is ideal for me :) [08:59] oki :) [08:59] losher yes it works fine on a win box and on two other ubuntu boxes [09:01] bonko56: well back to where we were before you rebooted, what does dmesg say about it? Same as last time i.e. device sdc ? [09:02] OttifantSir: can you run rpcinfo -p on the client? [09:05] losher: Did a paste here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/221741/ (This is from my laptop on a wireless, but the exact same message came for the exact equally allowed media-PC on wired network. [09:06] losher: The exact same failed mount message that is. [09:07] OttifantSir: please confirm: the output of rpcinfo -p is the same on both machines? [09:07] for anyone who is wondering, firefox 3.5 AKA Shiretoko is accessible. [09:08] !ff35 [09:08] 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 [09:08] bonko56: still there? [09:09] losher: Actually, the media-PC won't give a readout now. It has connectivity to the server, I know because I am watching a TV-show from it. Try to close it and try again [09:10] !shiretoko [09:10] Sorry, I don't know anything about shiretoko [09:11] OttifantSir: what is 'won't give a readout now' supposed to mean, exactly ? [09:11] anyone got a suggestion on how to easily go about syncing mp3's from a samba share to a folder on a Xubuntu box? [09:11] losher: Closed the "feed" from the server, but still no output on the media-PC. Strange, as it's connected via gigabit network. "rpcinfo -p " just hangs. [09:12] hehe...lovely: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5XUJC7D40c&feature=related is there a cristian version as well? What is the default ubuntu-version? Atheist? Hindu? :) [09:12] Techie: mount the samba share and use rsync? [09:12] !ot | shazzr [09:12] shazzr: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [09:12] shazzr: and there is a christian edition.. [09:12] does a dd clone handle hdd read errors okay? [09:12] got a dying hdd that I want to clone [09:13] purefusion2: not sure.. why not try ddrescue instead? [09:13] please tell me that ther is NOT a scientology version [09:13] OttifantSir: it should return right away. Something wrong with your network? [09:13] Slart: should I apt-get that? [09:13] I want to close a bug report (for the first time, at least in launchpad). Anybody here who can check if that's right or to suggest another procedure? [09:13] !search ddrescue [09:13] Found: [09:13] !find ddrescue [09:13] Found: ddrescue, gddrescue [09:13] What is the reason that firefox-3.5 is being called Shiretoko in ubuntu? I missed the URL. my screen refreshed to quickly. [09:13] !info ddrescue [09:13] ddrescue (source: ddrescue): copies data from one file or block device to another. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.13-3 (jaunty), package size 17 kB, installed size 76 kB [09:14] Is there anyway to make sure, a microphone is working in ubuntu? I cant get it to work ... [09:14] purefusion2: yes.. sudo apt-get install ddrescue should do it.. I'm not sure what gddrescue is.. a gnome version perhaps? [09:14] !ff35 | w0jrl [09:14] w0jrl: 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 [09:14] losher: Nothing I can tell. I can watch a TV-show (AVI-file) without lagging at all on the media-PC, and it's connected via gigabit network, and connected to the Samba-share, just as the laptop which is connected wirelessly on a 54Megabit-connection [09:14] w0jrl: I seem to recall some nonsense about branding.... [09:15] I'm using gnome, and it said use gddrescue to install so I guess that's my options [09:15] w0jrl: it's something about branding.. firefox is the original version, if I understood it right [09:15] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sun-java5/+bug/86103 is a Java5 and Java6 JRE bug. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/181582 is a duplicate. I want to set that bug to project:Java6 and close it. [09:15] just did, it's installed now [09:15] Is that the correct way? [09:15] How do I tell rdiff-backup to perform a full mirror even if there's incremental? [09:15] so what's ddrescue got over dd? [09:15] OttifantSir: ok, let's backtrack. Has nfs ever worked, or is this a first attempt? [09:15] purefusion2: better handling of read errors is one thing [09:16] Slart: what multiplier should I use? [09:16] purefusion2: ddrescue is designed to read failing disks.... [09:16] my disk is sitting on ice right now, lol [09:16] I just installed tilp2, when I start it I get "tilp: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libticables2.so.1: undefined symbol: usb_debug" [09:16] yay for webmin and its ability to easily set up things [09:16] indirectly [09:17] hi. how can i completely remove any text including whitespace from below the desktop icons in gnome? [09:17] Noone? [09:17] purefusion2: no idea [09:17] losher: NFS has worked every other time I have set it up. Except the time when I did a fresh install with NIS and NIS was broken from source. Every other time I have followed the HOWTO, and it's worked. Sometimes a reboot of the server was required, but I have done that too. [09:17] purefusion2: I've had good luck putting disks into the freezer. If you return it to the manufacturer, don't mention that you iced it...:-) [09:17] biopyte: why not go thw whole way and get rid of the icon aswell? [09:19] OttifantSir: you sound defensive. Don't be, it's a legitimate debugging question. Can you login to the server and check that nfsd is running?\ [09:19] heffay: that would be a mixed dist, not recommended [09:19] Techie, when there is a firefox icon theres is no point for a 'firefox" title below, right. the obvious way, renaming with a single whitespace, still leaves a ugly trace of the title bar. [09:19] Is there a way to turn on smooth scrolling in gedit? [09:20] Anyone here know if running ubuntu from a usb flash is hard? Takes a lot time to boot and load? [09:20] biopyte: might there be a setting in the theme somewhere about how icon names are shown [09:21] !usb | keiffer [09:21] keiffer: 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 [09:21] losher: I had a hdd die on me two years ago, no luck with the freezer trick, but I believe it was a damaged head and I ran the thing until it didn't run any more [09:21] Techie, maybe. but where? couldnt find such a thing. [09:21] Thanks [09:21] what's the best block size for a fat32 20GB drive? [09:22] biopyte: i cant say off the top of my head... i could do it in windows in a matter of seconds but i cant say the same for linux [09:22] purefusion2, 4 kB [09:23] purefusion2: depends on the average file sizes you'll use [09:23] I just installed tilp2, when I start it I get "tilp: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libticables2.so.1: undefined symbol: usb_debug" [09:23] #bot [09:24] hi i need a bot like in #ubuntu, to help people [09:24] Techie, windows ... aha. congratulations.

I cant get it to work ... [09:24] I'm using firefox 3.5 now as my default browzer in jaunty [09:25] Is devel short for development? [09:25] yes [09:25] falkinski: pretty much [09:25] w0jrl: thx [09:25] losher: thx [09:25] Firefox 3.5 not ready yet for Ubuntu, right? [09:25] no [09:25] Neroon: you could install a sound recording app such as audacity and make a small recording and play it back [09:26] losher I have repasted the link to http://paste.ubuntu.com/221760/ usb dick now on a machine that talks to web but wont mount disk using 9.04 [09:26] is there a way to check the block size of the existing drive? [09:27] It can be used. just sudo apt-get install firefox-3.5 firefox-3.5-gnome-support [09:27] oops I mean the dump from dmesg in terminal [09:27] Techie: I wanted to record audio from a video I played the other night...using audacity. Struggled the whole evening to get it to record from the correct source. Do you know what's the easy way to change the input source? [09:27] Techie: Thanks. I already did that. Nothing at all [09:28] hello [09:28] shazzr: would have a clue, i was just using audacity as a troubleshooting tool [09:28] bongo56: See this line -> [sdb] Attached SCSI removable disk. It means your usb drive appears as /dev/sdb. So try running 'sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb' [09:28] !bot [09:29] shazzr: but you could use mplayer, mencoder or vlc to rip the audio if you have the video file [09:29] I just installed tilp2, when I start it I get "tilp: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libticables2.so.1: undefined symbol: usb_debug" [09:29] is it possible to dd via /media/volume_name rather than via /dev/sdx ? [09:30] otherwise, how do I find the sdx of a mounted volume? [09:30] "mount" [09:30] in this case, it's a usb drive [09:30] type mount in a terminal [09:30] tehbaut: open a terminal and run 'df -h' [09:30] Losher: hm no result from sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb [09:30] or blkid [09:30] ah, got em [09:31] so I should use /dev/sdx1 with dd then? [09:31] hello, im using ubuntu server and need help, i'm trying too set up my domain and webpage so it shows correctly.. i'm using ehcp.. is someone good at domains and how too host your own? [09:31] Losher its now on a usb 2.0 port too eh [09:32] how do i force a frozen app to shut down?

[09:32] MrPiracy: you could use the kill command in terminal [09:33] ps -afx * [09:33] can I not use dumpe2fs with a read-only drive? [09:33] trying to read the block size [09:33] tehbaut: can u fsck it? [09:33] bongo56: ok, try 'sudo fdisk -l' and see if you can spot the usb disk in the output [09:34] I just installed tilp2, when I start it I get "tilp: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libticables2.so.1: undefined symbol: usb_debug" [09:34] OpenBluntSurgery, maybe... as long as that doesn't take long, as the disk has errors [09:34] trying to dd it before it dies [09:34] tehbaut: what filesystem is it running? [09:34] fat32 [09:35] i think u use dosfsck for fat32 [09:35] it's an old win98 disk that belongs to my in-laws old machine [09:35] Ubuntu vers. 5.04 no longer supported - are updates archived anywhere? [09:35] OpenBluntSurgery, permission denied [09:35] tehbaut: http://linux.die.net/man/8/fsck.vfat [09:36] seems like the disk is mounted read-only [09:36] all the files have a lock icon [09:36] hey, does anyone know how to use sendmail? [09:36] i'm sending outgoing messages using mutt to an internet email address and i get... [09:37] !q [09:37] Sorry, I don't know anything about q [09:37] (reason: 501 #5.1.3 Partial domain not allowed: 'ubuntu') [09:37] yeah, I can't even dd it: "cannot open input file: permission denied" [09:37] none of it worked [09:37] ps -afx lists it, what do i do with the process id? [09:37] HotShowers: thats generally because you need to set a FQDN for your machines hostname [09:38] !hostname | HotShowers [09:38] HotShowers: Use hostname to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. Alternatively, use the gui at System > Administration > Networking on the "General" tab [09:38] how do I get my drive to be readable so I can dd it? [09:38] er, whatever the permissions need to be anyway [09:39] tehbaut: you're running it under sudo, right? [09:39] ah, dang [09:39] Mez: sendmail should be able to send outgoing mail without a FQDN though you'd think? [09:39] OpenBluntSurgery: is it pkill -9 then what? [09:39] MrPiracy_: the uid or process name [09:39] had sudo on the first try, but I had to cancel out of it... ok :) [09:39] HotShowers: sendmail is a mess. Consider using ssmtp. 6 lines of config & your're done... [09:39] OpenBluntSurgery: like pkill -9 1254 [09:39] OpenBluntSurgery: ? [09:39] how to reinstall grub after i resintall my xp?? [09:40] MrPiracy_: yea you can run top and find UIDS, ps -afx |grep [09:40] losher result from dmesg http://paste.ubuntu.com/221768/ [09:40] MrPiracy_, skill "name of process" or pkill "process ID" [09:40] MrPiracy_, skill "name of process" or pkill "process ID" or killall "name of process" [09:40] dosfsck must take a while :D [09:40] is packages.ubuntu.com timing out for anyone else? [09:41] pkill works for program names also [09:41] tehbaut: use a -C with it and it should show u progress [09:41] tehbaut: just read the man page [09:41] if I run ddrescue with quiet operation, does that run the disk slower, and cooler? [09:42] chok, i tried those, but the app is still here === yofel_ is now known as yofel [09:42] bongo56: no other devices mentioned other than sda?

I try to show request time out while pinging other PC... any idea?? [10:14] Anyone here know of a good program to check my long written texts and identify bad usage of English or over-use of words, changing tense, etc? More than just a grammar checker... maybe some statistical analyzer that has some neat tricks. I do recall seeing something - it was to help improve writing skills. [10:14] defrysk: I understand, but that's not very user friendly.. [10:14] fack... this is pissin me off lol [10:14] well, thanks for your help :) [10:16] somthing's been bugging me about 9.04 and avahi [10:16] is it normal for ddrescue to not look like it's doing anything, even with -v in use?

[10:20] I question whether I am using the right options up from... I just noticed an example on wikipedia where the user started with -n (no split) and then afterwords used -r 1 to retry the error areas, but I started with splits and -r 100... heh [10:21] is there a simple command to find out which IPs have a computer attached on my local area network? [10:22] sudo nmap -sP -T4 192.168.0.0/24 [10:22] ah, I needed to make the logfile first... it won't create it for me [10:23] Is Linux more safer than Windows from being hack by hackers? [10:23] q0_0p: thanks. It's not such a simple-looking command though. I should alias it [10:23] Alvinware: some people say so. [10:23] Alvinware, Intrinsically, a little. [10:24] So, does that mean Linux don't need any firewall, and anti-virus? [10:25] Alvinware: yes [10:25] need? windows won't "need" them, ubuntu won't "need" them [10:25] Alvinware: generally you don't [10:25] Threetimes: well said :) [10:25] I dont use any of them on both systems :D [10:26] hi, is there a way to use ionizer (air cleaner) in asus n50vn models?

[10:27] petx: Nope. No way for us to troubleshoot that from here. [10:27] I use it only for gaming, not for daily use. It is optimized for uber-performance. I use msconfig to turn almost anything off. [10:28] you may need firewall in ubuntu, and need antivirus too for windows viruses, which for some win machines connects linux servers from network [10:28] any1 have scrinshot/video recover Grub after reinstall windows xp?

You might try finding a local PC shop to help you with setting up home networking. [10:30] What does it not check for? How can I fix it? [10:31] Wow, why Ubuntu suck? [10:31] petx: may i suggest checking for enabled firewalls [10:31] sure..boot ur live cd === Guest775 is now known as vkk [10:31] Hola [10:31] Threetimes, no idea.

[10:36] bossekr: grub problem === datag578 is now known as datagutt [10:36] bossekr, you could ask in #launchpad or #ubuntu-bugs [10:36] Hello. I'm trying to create a test embedding Lua into an application. I've installed the liblualib50-dev and all it's dependencies and now try to compile the test app according to http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/264. I get undefined reference errors for every Lua function and executing 'nm -s /usr/lib/liblua50.so' shows there are no symbols. Is this a packaging bug? [10:37] bossekr: if your package is available through the repos you should be able to just search for it by name [10:37] bossekr, make sure your debian mailaddress is linked to the launchpad account you actually use. That should 'link' your packages to you. Follow elky's advice to get more details [10:38] how to i set manual mac adress and ip adress? [10:38] Techie: when i enable xinerama=on then my ubuntu get stuck everytime [10:38] Slart, yes I know but is there a way to get an overview over all packages like http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?maint=bossekr%40debian.org [10:38] i cant even do ctrl+alt+F1 [10:38] bossekr: oh..

[10:48] I'd normally guess they're native to my window manager (I'm using Window Maker), but I've already, theoretically, disabled the sounds in WM's control-panel thing. [10:50] And they don't seem very client-specific. [10:50] I just tried them in nicotine, Xchat and azureus, and they're all making those sounds on clicking === glebelg_ is now known as glebelg [10:51] sorry, I can't help.... if you disabled the sound in teh control panel tehn I got no idea why there is still a sound [10:52] Okay. Neither I. [10:52] You kight want to restart your WM, logout and login. [10:52] might* [10:53] Would there be some sort of sounds native to the x-server somehow that aren;t controlled by the WM? [10:53] Threetimes: I've already done that, unfortunately. At least three times. [10:54] how do i configure ubuntu to use the opendns servers? [10:54] I had WM a while... but suddenly it stopped working properly.... so I logged out, and haven't logged into it again.... [10:54] I tried KDE...it sort of made my skin crawl. [10:54] JoAnneThrax: Why? It's a good desktop [10:55] now I only use a mix of different skins... Slickness, minimum black suite, black and white 2, and 2 other skins XD [10:56] Well, the one that installed with Kubuntu-desktop just annoyed me. Maybe I thought it was falling all over itself to seem like Micro$oft Windoze while dispensing with, or at least making less obvious and convenient, all the things that I, as a linux user, might actually use.. [10:56] I'm sure it's just how the defaults were set. === mr is now known as Guest13291 [10:57] what should patch do with no arguments?

I've asked some people about this, but I can't remember if I asked here.

[11:05] hmmmm, I'm getting ati 3870 for free from my friend and I'm building a gaming computer around it, what would be about as powerful motherboard and cpu? you see I don't want to purchase too powerful cpu and mobo so the graphics card wont slow them down [11:05] Whenever I reboot my computer has decided to mute the Master volume and then the slider all the way to zero.

Maybe I fixed that accidentally. [11:10] disappearedng: you create a file at / ... something like forcecheck.. [11:10] sudo shutdown -rf now [11:10] disappearedng: sudo touch /forcefsck [11:10] or touch /forcefsck && shutdown -r now [11:10] ...now if only I cound fix the beep-boop sounds... [11:11] blacklist pcspkr [11:11] ChoK: hmm.. -f isn't mentioned in the man page... sure it works?

Anyone know how this should be set on this machine? Pipe and square brackets are two of the keys missing [11:13] does anyone here know anything about mpd? [11:13] !anyone | danny__ [11:13] danny__: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?

[11:14] im trying to create my mpd playlist and its skipping one of my music folders. its the one drive that linux always asks for a password to access on boot [11:14] !karmic | drazter2 [11:14] drazter2: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [11:15] danny__, then probably the mpd user doesn't have access to it. [11:15] hello all, the text in my bash terminal is over lapping, anyone know the problem? [11:16] CybeRebel: try selecting another console font? [11:16] Slart do you no what the defaults are? [11:17] Seveas, do u know how id fix that? [11:17] CybeRebel: nope... don't remember.. I use Terminus (it's available from the repos) [11:17] Hmm. I have the DisableSound option in $(HOME)/GNUstep/Defaults/WindowMaker set to "yes" [11:18] anr78: when you've entered the keyboard window, press on socond tab, and press on keyboardmodel. there you choose Apple, and your computer model [11:18] Please, is there anyone that can help, getting a microphone to work? I thought I would never say that, but I'm close to uninstall Ubuntu. Been there, done this, thousands of "solutions" and just nothing even closely works [11:18] Slart okay ill try anyway thanks :) [11:18] danny__, by using proper mount options [11:18] hi, [11:18] it seems that packages.ubuntu.com not working now, BTW [11:19] Slart, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/74139 [11:19] how do i format unpartitioned space in ubuntu? [11:19] renic, gparted [11:20] there's not something already included in the default install? [11:21] any way to keep ubuntu from going to sleep on me while I'm ddrescue'ing? [11:21] the prefs aren't working it seems [11:21] ChoK: hm.. interesting.. thanks [11:21] tehbaut: there are some software that prevents powersaving.. inhibit I think it's called [11:21] screen keeps going off, and I fear worse if I don't keep moving the cursor [11:22] Slart, is that apt-get'able? [11:22] tehbaut: hang on.. let me have a look [11:22] couldn't find package [11:23] I have set the layout in the prefs, but it is still not correct [11:23] tehbaut: try "gnome-power-manager-inhibit somecommand" [11:23] tehbaut: I think it will keep the computer from falling asleep until that command is finished [11:24] Slart, ok... how about if the command is currently running? [11:24] I was rather hoping there would be an easier way to solve this problem than uninstalling windowmaker and reinstalling it without sound enabled. [11:24] tehbaut: gnome-power-manager-inhibit sleep htop will let you decide when to end htop [11:24] tehbaut: bah.. sorry... gnome-power-manager-inhibit htop [11:25] Slart, then just run htop? [11:25] tehbaut: it will run htop for you [11:25] tehbaut: then wait until htop finishes before going to sleep [11:25] command not found [11:25] If I see "(arg: 8) in a terminal window, does that mean I have pressed AltGr+8? [11:25] !find gnome-power-manager-inhibit [11:25] File gnome-power-manager-inhibit found in gnome-power-manager [11:26] tehbaut: try installing gnome-power-manager [11:26] If I see "(arg: 8 ) in a terminal window, does that mean I have pressed AltGr+8? [11:26] installed, command still not found [11:26] If so, it seems Ubuntu has made my left Alt into AltGr and I need to swap them === mac__v is now known as mac_v [11:27] no typos either, heh [11:27] anr78: Altgr+8 does that on my system, yes [11:27] anr78: no, sorry.. alt+8 does that === Mud|shower is now known as Mud [11:28] This is odd. The bloops and bleeps happen in nicotine, azureus and xchat...but they DON'T happen in firefox and xmms. [11:29] tehbaut: odd.. you are running ubuntu jaunty? [11:29] tehbaut: located in /usr/bin [11:30] Slart, I'm running 8.04 (hardy?) [11:30] how can i change the appearance of the panel bars? i'd like round borders.. what can i do?? [11:30] tehbaut: ah.. that might be it [11:31] synergy+ [11:31] Slart: thanks. anyway it seems that I need to make the left alt key on my keyboard do what the right one does. [11:32] Slart, is it possible that it's an issue with my monitor's driver? === CosmicChaos is now known as CosmiChaos [11:33] or the fact that I never installed the monitor's specific driver? [11:33] there were some odd issues with resolution that I'd noticed [11:33] tehbaut: what was the problem? the computer keeps going to sleep and halting the ddrescue thing? [11:33] could anybody help me? how can i change the appearance of the panel bars? i'd like round borders.. what can i do?? [11:33] Slart, no but that's my fear... the monitor keeps going blank [11:34] who's to say that the computer won't just go to sleep [11:34] tehbaut: are you sure that's not just the monitor shutting off? it does that for me too [11:34] I've set it no to in the power mgr prefs though [11:34] tehbaut: I would say that's the way I want it.. do you want to monitor to stay powered on just because you're running a torrent client in the background? [11:35] tehbaut: ah.. but it might be the monitor that is doing the shutdown thing on it's own [11:35] I have to leave for a couple hours soon, don't want anything to happen with this really slow ddrescue that's going on [11:35] Hey guys, i'm trying to stop the x server on my desktop so that I can update my nvidia driver, any help with this? [11:35] I've tried everything i've found through google and nothing works [11:35] dport: open a terminal run "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop" [11:35] Chok: should i mount new partitions using fstab, or is there a tool? === asysrqst is now known as kkszysiu [11:36] Slart: I've tried that, then ran the .run file and still says i'm running X [11:36] oh wait [11:36] ! [11:36] hang on [11:37] dport: tried to do that from outside X with CTRL-ALT-F1? [11:38] Slart, how about an app/utility the keeps my cursor moving or something? [11:38] I don't want to take a chance on this, not right now [11:38] I can test and mess with power stuff later [11:39] If I can find where the actual sound-files its using are, I can delete them, I suppose. Assuming those sounds are from files; them being actually synthesized in realtime is very unlikely :) [11:40] I updated my gfx card drivers and it says I should reboot, but I am using a live cd, is there any command that I could use that would replace the rebooting? [11:40] hmmm: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=850482 [11:41] never compiled a program before though, haha [11:41] should i be mounting new partitions with manual entry into fstab, or does ubuntu require using a tool beyond the text editor? [11:42] tehbaut: hang on.. someone mentioned a script that did that the other day [11:42] tehbaut: let me search my logs [11:42] Sounds defined for specific events and sound file paths are defined in the WMSound file. [11:42] Slart, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=850482 ? [11:42] From xev it seems that my left Alt key is indeed Alt_L, but that it needs to be ISO_Level3_Shift for my MPB-keyboard to work like in OS X. Is this an easy fix with xmodmap? [11:42] I haven't GOT a WMsound file. This is why I'm wondering if the sounds even originate with Windowmaker [11:42] tehbaut: mm.. but that sounds complicated =) [11:43] Slart, well the simpler the better of course [11:45] i've got a pidgin yahoo mess bug...my buddies appear on-line in my contact-list after they actually log-off [11:45] ...but I can't think of where else they might come from... [11:45] How do I upgrade to ff 3.5 without the Shirotoko-version of it? [11:46] hello, guys. I have the exact same problem as this guy http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/broadcom-wireless-in-ubuntu-9.04-731952/ A Broadcom wireless card which doesn't work with ubuntu 9.04. Does anybody know a solution for it? [11:47] sssilviu, I personally dont know but if no one here does try the #linux channel [11:49] madwifi? [11:49] roffe: U can install ff 3.5.1 side by side with ubuntu rep. version. Just head over to http://www.mozilla.com/products/download.html?product=firefox-3.5.1&os=linux&lang=en-US [11:49] tehbaut: try this while true; do sleep 10; xdotool mousemove 0 0; xdotool mousemove 10 10; done [11:49] ok, I will thanks coz_, but anyway, if anybody can give me some tips here it would be great. I suspect that it's not a very difficult matter, but I just couldn't find any solution on the web yet [11:50] roffe: that's what I did, but i'm no ubuntu-pro [11:50] :) [11:50] Thanks metatagg! [11:50] and that guy did not receive any response on the forum [11:50] roffe: np [11:50] Just attempted to update my nvidia graphics card, and now this is what i see [11:50] tehbaut: you will have to install the app xdotool first [11:51] ah, won't let me paste now, says that I don't have a graphics card now, but the driver tool see's it [11:51] enabled it, and restarted, same thing [11:51] Does anybody know what the rc stands for in .bashrc? [11:52] Slart, and of course I'd do that via apt-get? [11:52] diddy: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/coffee-lounge/58038-what-does-rc-mean.html [11:53] tehbaut: of course =) sudo apt-get install xdotool [11:53] hmmm, no package found [11:53] Isn't xmodmap used in Jaunty? [11:54] Slart: So basically nobody knows. :) [11:54] diddy I think it stands for run command, and is essentially a configuration file for how you want the program to run. [11:54] diddy: that seems to be the general consensus =) [11:54] I'm on hardy, anr78 (if that was 'indirected' towards me) [11:55] diddy, the "rc" mean "run control" [11:55] anr78: well.. it can be used, if that's what you mean [11:55] tehbaut: it wasn't :). I'm trying to configure the keyboard on my MBP :) [11:56] diddy, it is a "convention" adopted from older Unix systems [11:56] !remotedesktop [11:56] Sorry, I don't know anything about remotedesktop [11:56] nyaa, Slart, coz: Thx. === ChoK is now known as ChoK_away [11:56] anr78, ah well it sounded similar to xdotool ;) [11:57] i want to configure my ubuntu server running ubuntu 9.04 desktop to accept remote connections, how would i do that [11:57] i have been reading about different ways so far but im not sure which one is the best [11:57] lanoxx, why not just use vnc? [11:57] Slart: I looked at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AppleKeyboard, and it says "Since Xmodmap have been replace by X Keyboard Extension, it's impossible to use Xmodmap to proceed with the mapping. " [11:57] tehbaut, what are the pros and cons to vnc? [11:58] i want something that i can access with linux and windows and that does not need an active gnome session [11:58] wider cross platform compatibility for one... I don't know if ubuntu even has support for rdp, but I never checked [11:58] How many files are there that influence the operations of the bash? ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bashrc, ~/.bash_login, ~/.bash_logout, ~/.inputrc ??? *dizzy* [11:58] anr78: oh.. can't really remember when I used it last.. perhaps it was before junty [11:59] can you help me with Cairo Dock?? [11:59] tehbaut, i used the system->preferences->remote desktop but that only works when im logged in on the host, so for me thats useless since my server does not have a screen [11:59] logic, we have a #cairo-dock channle if you are interested [11:59] i need help... got problems connecting with a usb internet device [12:00] lanoxx, could be usable with the screen command, but that encroaches an area I'm not as familiar with [12:00] s/as/ [12:00] coz_:thanks;) anyway do you know why the configuration manager of Cairo Dock keeps repeatedly poppin out everytime i close it?? [12:00] logic, is this 2.0? [12:01] whats the minimum package i need to install to get an ethernet connection up? [12:02] 1337 people in room [12:02] lol [12:02] awww [12:02] win some lose some [12:02] that was tight [12:02] now we're leeb =( [12:03] :D [12:03] yay [12:03] to bad im very tired [12:04] Is it possible to serve a web page on a non default port (80) without visitors having to type :port# after the url? [12:05] benjamin_: not sure if you can create a redirection from the regular port 80 to another port [12:05] nyaa, Slart, coz: Someone in another channel wrote: diddy "'rc' derives from 'runcom', from the mIT CTSS system, ca. 1965." -- rc (as in ".cshrc" or "/etc/rc") = "RunCom" <-- or "Run Commands" [12:05] I think that is a good explanation. [12:05] the problem is that I have an admin page on my router at port 80 but I wanna server my own site too [12:05] Is there stronger command than "kill -9" available? [12:05] diddy: nice.. good hunting there [12:06] I've got a process running at 100% CPU and it won't die :-( [12:06] Webu: I guess sudo kill -9 might be a little meaner [12:06] Slart, ouch it won't do this time :-( [12:06] I see [12:06] Ubuntu automatically configured my usb internet device the first time i used it... it worked... then after the reboot it tells me the device is "connected" but i can't surf/ping... i tried all night long changing wvdial.conf reading forums but i can't make it... [12:06] 2744 ? Ss 0:00 /usr/bin/kdm <--- kdm also running...maybe it's responsible for sound? [12:06] Webu: I don't know of anything more powerful [12:06] benjamin port forward, you dont want your webmin page available from www do you? [12:06] Slart, "[ 4310.003737] BUG: soft lockup - CPU#3 stuck for 61s! [rmmod:4968]" :-D [12:07] Webu what kind of process is it? is in it a terminal? [12:07] I thin it's what was launched to give me the whole login-screen dealy. [12:07] nyaa, it's a "sudo rmmod bttv" but it got stuck :-( [12:07] webu tried ctrl + c, or ctrl + z? [12:07] koshari: I deffinately do not, but how do I port forward a local port to a different remote port? [12:07] any ideas? [12:07] nyaa, "root 4968 100 0.0 1788 464 ? R< 14:00 6:49 rmmod bttv" [12:07] i think my video driver is crashing my computer and i can't get into X. how do i find and uninstall the offending package? [12:07] is there a good automation tool that works w/ hardy? [12:08] nyaa, at least Ctrl + C didn't work, didn't try that Z before closing the window :-S [12:08] something like autoIT / autohotkey or similar? [12:08] !automation [12:08] Sorry, I don't know anything about automation [12:08] benjamin depends on your router [12:09] koshari was hoping that wouldn't be the case hehe [12:09] benjamin_ my billion 7200 calls it virtual host [12:09] Ah, I think I've got to reboot to get that process killed.. [12:09] Anyone know were I can find kdm's configuration files/sound options [12:09] there is kautoclick for KDE, but nothing for gnome it seems [12:09] ? [12:10] koshari: mine has portforwarding/port triggering [12:10] tehbaut: there's xmacro ... depends on what you want to do [12:11] koshari: I think it might be port triggering [12:11] nyaa, lol it won't reboot :-D I'm feeling like Windows now :-P [12:11] benjamin its likely the setting is in the port forwarding part, just add the local ip addy ie 192.168.0.3 ect [12:11] nyaa, *goes to the power switch* [12:11] Slart, well same thing as before :P [12:11] tehbaut: xmacro should work nicely then [12:11] although having something advanced that I can use in the future would be good [12:11] webu won't reboot? [12:12] koshari: in port forwarding I only get start and end port for a port range [12:12] hello, i use thinkpad r500... as it heats up at any serious load, i wonder if i should fans manually.... it never goes beyond 3000 rpm even when temperature is 90 C [12:12] webu I should look up what that process does heh [12:12] not absolutely necessary right now though, technically [12:12] #ubuntu-it [12:12] anyone using thinkpad? [12:12] nyaa, yeah, looks like it was quite bad at 100% CPU usage - somehow it didn't want to work when trying to rmmod that "bttv" module. [12:12] can xmacro repeat a specific # of times? [12:12] miha: you! [12:13] nsadmin yes? ;) [12:13] any idea what bttv is? is that for a tv card? [12:13] hello [12:13] or repeate until I say stop? :P [12:13] hi miha [12:13] tehbaut: not sure.. but you can call it in a loop from the shell [12:13] miha: YOU are using the thinkypad! [12:13] hello guys... [12:13] nyaa, yes it is, trying to get my Hercules Smart TV working. [12:13] I'm experiencing problems with vlc... [12:13] I want to stream audio data to the icecast server... [12:13] nyaa, was about to unload the module to reload it with different settings. [12:13] nsadmin yes.. as i google i see everyone complaining about fans under linux [12:13] can anyone help me with this?... [12:14] miha: just like any rockstar, they need fans... [12:14] hehe [12:14] nyaa, now after a reboot the unload works, at least the first time :-O [12:14] some fans just get out of control and you have to replace them... [12:14] well i'm big ut2004 fan... this laptop performs great until it overheats some 30 mins later [12:14] Webu I've got no solid advice for tv cards, I failed in that area =) The only time I've seen a cpu go to 100% was when it had a hard time trying to poll for a keypress or something similar [12:15] it's annoying me... do i need external cooler? [12:15] borrow one and see [12:15] nyaa, hehe I see, maybe it's just a bit buggy and gets quite bad when stuck :-S [12:15] go into the store and play the game for awhile [12:16] if it helps... maybe you need it [12:16] webu could be, I know a few people that use linux, but I don't know anyone thats gotten a tv card to work well =( [12:16] Hi, i'm trying to compile ticables2, I get this: http://pastebin.com/d618fa1c2 [12:16] miha: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=901&num=1 [12:17] can anyone help me with my problem?... [12:17] what's the command to use a generic x driver instead of q poxy one? [12:17] heinz i thought of something more active... akasa has some promising products [12:17] a poxy one* [12:17] I never streamed I'd be doing that [12:18] xok: this channel is about network questions, sorry [12:18] hi [12:18] nyaa, ahh hehe, it got stuck again trying the second time :-D I see.. :-P [12:18] Nehyx, network question?... :-/ [12:19] xok: for example, if you have got trolls in a channel, or how set up a name... [12:19] miha: I have a hpnx8220 which runs at 100°C under full load (pentium-m) but doesn't show any issues with that, so I didn't bother about further cooling... [12:19] xok: ops, sorry [12:19] Threetimes: what are you trying to do in the big picture? [12:19] Webu I'd probably see what exactly it does when it freezes up, but that ones over my head = [12:19] I joined in #ubuntu :P [12:19] Threetimes: how come ticables2... [12:19] sorry really [12:19] Nehyx, lool :-D [12:19] xok: I have no exp with streaming, but I have a lot of experience with server daemons... one thing I know is they usually log to a text file and you can watch the log using tail -f [12:19] nyaa, oh yeah - thank you for your time though :-) <3 [12:20] np [12:20] dabaR: i'm trying to install tilp2, whemn i install it with apt, i get the same kind of errors [12:20] nsadmin, thanks a lot for your response, but that not what I wanted... [12:20] actually deamon has no problems... [12:21] it works just fine, but the client doesn't seem to connect at all.. ;-( [12:21] Threetimes: You mean, when you try to install the version that comes with Ubuntu, you get the same error that you pasted to the pastebin? [12:21] so what does the server say when the client tries? [12:21] yep [12:21] again, you can watch the server log using tail -f [12:21] Threetimes: libticables2-1 in particular? [12:21] nsadmin, it doesn't... that's the main problem... [12:21] let me see [12:22] so the server is not saying anything? what does the client say? [12:22] nsadmin, are you kidding?.. :-D [12:22] nsadmin, client just stucks, does absolutely nothing... [12:23] I mean it doesn't connect to server at all... [12:23] that suggests to me there is no connection at all, and there could be something between that is preventing connection [12:23] after installation, hen I try to start it: "tilp: symbol lookup error: /usr/local/lib/libticables2.so.1: undefined symbol: usb_debug" [12:23] how many different clients have you tried? [12:23] I got a dilemma, I have a acer aspire one with ubuntu installed, I want to run windows with in ubuntu, but can't because I don't have a windows disk and I deleted the recovery partiton for windows on it, I do have a back up of my windows that was installed but I can't use that because I need to change the registry to make windows load off any hard drive or usb drive, so my question is how or... [12:23] ...where do I get the tools to make a windows + ubuntu environment given the circumstances I have now? [12:23] is the daemon a tcp daemon? [12:24] Threetimes: That is the whole exact error? [12:24] nsadmin, actually I want to stream using VLC, other clients (such as ices, ezstream and others) work just fine... [12:24] yep [12:24] dabaR: ^ [12:25] xok: ok, so you've just eliminated a lot of things that could be wrong [12:25] Threetimes: did you install tilp or tilp2? [12:25] o_O [12:25] Hello, I've tried to follow the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing - but I don't manage to get any Internet connectivity from connected machines on eth1 (eth1 is a WiFi AP, eth0 has internet access) [12:25] tilp2 [12:25] what am I doing wrong? [12:25] as you say there is nothign wrong with the server... furthermore, there is no router or whatever preventing connections [12:26] Anyone have a answer for my problem [12:26] ? [12:26] Threetimes: Odd, I don't even have a file in that spot /usr/local/lib/libticables2.so.1 after installing tilp2 [12:26] I'm just not in that windows mood... [12:27] Shapeshifter: you're aiming at running win in virtualbox/vmware? [12:27] I have bought a new TP-Link Access point for my network and I want to connect it the router, how can I configure this new access point? the ip for my router is 192.168.1.1 [12:28] Threetimes: does 'which tilp' point to /usr/bin/tilp? [12:28] xok: in fact the only problem is vlc as far as this problem domain is concerned === Mud is now known as Mud|afk [12:28] dabaR: yes [12:28] heinz2: yes [12:28] nsadmin, eeeeh, thanks anyway for trying to help... :-) [12:29] is this your server? [12:29] Threetimes: do you have a /usr/lib/libticables.so.1? [12:30] dabaR: no libticables.so.1, onli libticables2.so.1 === aaron_ is now known as TiMiDo [12:30] nsadmin, yes, it is... [12:30] only* [12:30] xok you have two choices... either use one of the many clients you tested to work, or debug vlc [12:30] Shapeshifter: you would probably want to find a installable win iso somewhere and install that from scratch in virtualbox using your registration [12:31] xok: what if you try a server that's not your own? [12:31] nsadmin, yeah, thanks for advice... :-) [12:31] how do i set shell to bash? [12:31] vlc work then? [12:31] nsadmin, I would go back and use ezstream instead... [12:31] heroid: that's the default. How did you change it? [12:31] but would be great using vlc... [12:31] ui [12:31] heroid, /bin/bash [12:31] ciao [12:31] :-D [12:31] can someone help me setup voice settings in skype in ubuntu 9.04 [12:31] my shell account is heroid@ssh.tuxfamily.org [12:31] bella a tt [12:31] you're not listening... [12:31] can someone help me setup voice settings in skype in ubuntu 9.04? [12:31] xok: what if you try a server that's not your own? [12:32] suka [12:32] !who | heroid [12:32] heroid: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [12:32] auck my dick [12:32] d [12:32] dd [12:32] d [12:32] d [12:32] RapJamMc: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [12:32] heinz2: by registration you mean the windows sticker number on the bottom of my acer right? [12:32] RapJamMc: please stop. Do you have a question we can help you with about ubuntu? [12:32] hey im back [12:32] nsadmin, what you mean?.. I can't do that with vlc, but have no problems with other clients... [12:32] Threetimes: ya, that one. Can you uninstall tilp2? Do you use aptitude for installing programs or synaptic? [12:32] jrib, how do i set shell to bash [12:32] heroid: that's the default. How did you change it? [12:33] Shapeshifter: exactly [12:33] krishmish: you would basically have to go to options, ctrl+o, then sound devices or so. [12:33] apt-get and synaptic, apt-get at this moment. [12:33] well someone said to me set shell to bash jrib [12:33] heroid: who? What version of ubuntu is this? [12:33] jessica_: what a coincidence! I'm front! [12:33] mm [12:33] yep [12:33] i'm trying to make another ubuntu distro for kosovo jrib [12:34] 9.04 [12:34] Threetimes: OK, well, uninstall all packages that you installed for tilp2 so far. [12:34] heinz2: I tried downloading some isos of windows, but before trying again how do I tell if the download is legit? [12:34] sudo apt-get remove tilp2 [12:34] heroid: « man usermod » but as I said, bash is the default shell for users [12:34] command to uninstall it [12:34] Threetimes: I would do that. It seems like the thing is pointing to the wrong .so [12:35] Threetimes: one your compiling perhaps added. [12:35] ok jrib [12:35] heroid: not required another distro, i think. instead of we join into the ubuntu dev group and try to improve it. [12:35] heinz2: btw the last downloads either didn't work or still going [12:35] xok: what I mean is, we're trying to use masking-out logic to rule out things that could be the problem... and there's one more step [12:35] any1 plz tell me how to completely remove openoffice [12:35] i'll reinstall all libti* packages [12:35] Shapeshifter499 Your best bet is to either get on the acer website and see if you can download the system recovery disk from there, or if they'll email you a copy. Not all versions of windows will accept all Windows keys. [12:35] nsadmin, which one?.. [12:36] при [12:36] !beep [12:36] Sorry, I don't know anything about beep [12:36] что случилось [12:36] dabaR: should Iremove the packages I compiled myself? [12:36] shapeshifter499 I've been through a similar problem, and I ended up buying 5 copies of xp for 3 computers ultimately =/ but if your computer is new enough acer may have it on the website. I think your best bet is to complain reasonably to them. [12:36] gza, здарова... :-D [12:36] !ru [12:36] Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [12:36] Threetimes: I would remove everything. [12:36] xok: try to use vlc on a server that is not your own. if you can get it to work, then there's a difference between what that server does and what your server is doing [12:36] ok [12:36] есть русские [12:36] Shapeshifter: I don't think it won't be legit at all, except what nyaa proposed. be sure to get the right flavour like home, professional, etc. [12:37] Threetimes: keep something, if it will save you time if you again resort to compiling, but it works out the box here. [12:37] nsadmin, it won't work... [12:37] да [12:37] but I'm almost positive the problem is in vlc [12:37] how to remove openoffice.org [12:37] 'cause my server has no problems I'm absolutely sure... [12:37] no russian gza [12:37] sounds good guys, but if I still have problem I'll just come back here [12:37] heinz2 shapeshifter499: I had legitamate copies, all were home. Using one home disk and trying the idkey that came with my computer, I was denied because the one that came with my computer is a bit different.. was an oem from compaq [12:38] почему [12:38] !ru | gza [12:38] gza: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [12:38] nsadmin, yeah, I think the same... [12:38] nyaa: [12:38] opps typo [12:39] dabaR: i ve tried but cant make out much [12:39] xok: so try it, and see. nothing but doing that will get you absolute results [12:39] testing irssi [12:39] nsadmin, the problem is that VLC doesn't even try to connect... [12:39] it simply stucks... [12:39] does nothing... [12:39] krishmish: what I do there, is I set the sound in to the first thing, and the sound out and ringing to pulse. [12:39] Then make a test call [12:40] !test | tmukmkd [12:40] tmukmkd: sigh... again? I'm busy here, I already told you it failed. [12:40] heinz2 nyaa: ok I'll try a few more things if nothing works I'll come back here [12:40] dabaR:there are 3 options [12:40] xok: so the problem is the vlc you have installed... [12:40] nsadmin, yeah, I think so... [12:40] dabaR:sound in, out andringing [12:40] bye [12:40] Shapeshifter499 if you have a copy thats working, see if you can make a recovery disk of it, and if not good luck with acer =( [12:40] xok: how did you get it? [12:40] nsadmin, with aptitude... [12:41] nyaa: tnx [12:41] bye [12:41] could you pastebin your sources.list? [12:41] krishmish: what I do there, is I set the sound in to the first thing, and the sound out and ringing to pulse. Then make a test call. [12:41] and works just fine, but I think it needs some additional configuration to stream audio... [12:41] shapeshifter: bye [12:41] shapeshifter last though, also if you're a student you can get windows for free often [12:41] Do you know if M-soft Office on Crossover or OpenOffice keeps some cache?

Used APT to install [12:44] krishmish: You're welcome. [12:45] bad clients shouldn't be locked up? [12:45] Threetimes: does it at least try to use the /usr/lib instead of /usr/local/lib?

[14:26] diddy : Cheers [14:26] using virtualbox is overkill [14:26] ChoK: thought so [14:27] ChoK: then the ID3 spec is why its not supported [14:27] Steve^: run cat /etc/group | grep steve [14:27] transMIssion, ChoK, but if u use a few windows programs, then it hardly takes any time to bring up a windows xp vm (saved state) (few seconds)... and then run your apps... speed is not required to play media anyway...

So is it a bug or a feature of "groups"? :S [14:28] stive: okay. I promise to help you sometime [14:28] Steve^: It might be permissions [14:29] transMIssion, Right.. you often tend to overlook points which are not important to you... since ive got lots of ram... [14:29] vise, wine will still be faster [14:29] thanks mate.. [14:29] vise: lol [14:29] i only have 2 G [14:30] richardcavell, ha, it is. I never considered I wouldn't have permission to show my own group! [14:30] ChoK: if they change something it might not be in the next 2 years... [14:31] Virtualbox can't even boot Fedora 11 lol [14:31] transMIssion, Well 2g is not less.. ubuntu on my box takes up around 512 mb.. so u still have 1.5 gb... xp can take another 512.. with 1 g still free.. not bad... i find 3 g more than enough.... [14:31] Steve^: ls -l /var/www [14:31] hi, am i the only one or packages.ubuntu.com is down ? [14:31] vise: what player do you use? [14:31] richardcavell, yea?

[15:12] whatever if its not advisabol why the heck is ext4 in the next release standard? [15:13] alteregox, Not advisable to convert.. [15:13] it changes the inodes, not thje files itself [15:13] alteregoa, because the next release has a kernel that is being tested to work with ext4, currently it hasn't [15:13] hello [15:14] alteregox : Start with a fresh install or http://maketecheasier.com/how-to-upgrade-from-ext3-to-ext4-without-formatting-the-hard-disk/2009/04/21 [15:14] alteregox, If you know that, you are probably capable to search google on that and do it...

[15:49] Mr-Woof, Locate that directory as current [15:49] onks tääl suomalaisii [15:49] nowai__, whois info about the IP http://paste.ubuntu.com/221981/ [15:49] nowai__: -p ? [15:49] ah thanks [15:49] Graem, Right click panel, then add to panel [15:49] done, it was apache [15:50] roflparrot: i have an idea [15:50] is there a way that i could run specific traffic over different network connections. I.E. run bittorrent over wired, and all other internet traffic over wireless? [15:50] Graem: run nm-applet [15:50] yeah I'd whois-ed it already [15:50] richardcavell: I listen intent on success [15:50] why was Apache2 making outbound connections? [15:51] roflparrot: go to system -> preferences -> network connections. Click on Wired. Select your wired connection in the box. Click on edit. Select use this connection only for resources on its network. [15:51] nowai__: the ip belings to verysing so i suspect it is doing certificate comprobations... you use ssl ? [15:51] belongs* [15:51] sounds promising richardcavell [15:51] erUSUL: I don't have ssl configured on the server no [15:52] nowai__: then i dunno ask in an apache channel [15:52] if it comes back I will, I'll leave it for now [15:52] what does the portmap daemon do? [15:52] roflparrot: I meant to say after clicking on edit, click on IPv4 settings then Routes then use this connection only for resources on its network [15:52] Hi, I use a 240mb soundfont. If I use this with tuxguitar and fluidsynth, a lot of memory is used. Can I use a different synthesizer that uses less memory and works faster with the same soundfont? [15:52] nowai__: is used for nfs afaik [15:52] ah ha [15:52] nfs is another I don't have [15:53] maybe its left over from when I did have nfs [15:53] I got a Windows virus, is it possible to heal/remove the virus on Ubuntu? [15:53] Threetimes, When your sound card doesnt support sound font loading, you have to load it in RAM.. so imho there is no option... [15:53] nowai__: portmap is needed to do rpc calls maybe another program needs it [15:53] Mene-Mene, Just delete it? [15:53] Mene-Mene: yes [15:53] I think its from when nfs was installed, so I'll uninstall portmap too [15:53] nowai__: purge it [15:53] Win32/Virut virus, it's infected a LOT of exes. [15:54] indeed [15:54] does a realtek alc662 support this? [15:54] Which I don't know where said virus is. [15:54] Can you recommend a program? [15:54] Mene-Mene: you can certainly search for viruses and quarantine them [15:54] Mene-Mene, Nope.. If it exists somewhere standalone, only then you can delete it.. Since, imho antivirus programs for windows won't run on linux... [15:54] as to healing the files, you have to identify which ones can do that for that virus [15:54] cant get into the #vbox channel so im gonna ask here if anyone knows. [15:54] richardcavell, As he says, if its in the 'exes' then it may not be possible imho [15:54] !virus [15:54] A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [15:54] can vbox load sd cards? [15:55] virus could have a virus problem [15:55] erUSUL, Windows virus != linux virus [15:55] vise: he might need to go to Windows to be able to disinfect the computer [15:55] if anyone would run everything with root [15:55] vise: he can certainly find them from within ubuntu [15:55] vise: I find them all the time in my firefox caches [15:55] vise: And I don't visit dodgy websites [15:56] Right, but Mene-Mene is i think not able to enter windows? [15:56] I understand why Linux doesn't have a virus problem, but Windows does, and if windows is running, the virus is getting bigger. [15:56] Hmm, isn't h264 supposed to be included in the vlc-nox package from the repositories? [15:56] vise: well if he can't boot windows then why does it matter if he has windows viruses on his puter? [15:56] I'm getting errors that it's not there. [15:57] Mene-Mene ; try #windows channel [15:57] richardcavell, data/installations [15:57] Mene-Mene: do you run Windows at all? [15:57] Mene-Mene: av software is aviable in linux install it and check the windows partition with it [15:57] Yes. [15:57] richardcavell, actually software installations i guess [15:57] What is an "Alternate CD"? Alternate CD == LiveCD ??? [15:57] I only found one scanner, and that didn't see a file i knew was infected. [15:57] nawk: the other way around. [15:57] Mene-Mene: Okay. Why don't you clean your Windows computer from within Windows? Why do you want to do it from linux? [15:57] nawk: desktop cd is livecd alternate is not [15:58] Because the longer I run windows, the more infected the machine gets. [15:58] Mene-Mene: you can get false positives with virus scanners. [15:58] AVG has yet to give me a false positive. [15:58] Mene-Mene: Install a free good virus scanner such as AVG in your Windows installation and let it run all over your hard disk [15:58] richardcavell: 'use this connection only for resources on its network' doesn't seem to be an option. All I see is "Ignore automatically obtained routes" [15:58] Mene-Mene: AVG gives me a false positive for one of my linux files [15:58] erUSUL: Wait, prior to my question. I only knew what a liveCD is === Blizzerand is now known as Twittery [15:59] AVG is unable to heal the virus, or so it keeps telling me. [15:59] so what is an "alternate cd"? [15:59] Mene-Mene, Did you try safe mode? [15:59] Mene-Mene : I think #windows guys will be able you more . [15:59] So I was hoping that linux would be albe to heal the virus while it's unable to work in Ubuntu. [15:59] roflparrot: do you have both the modem and lan plugged in right now? [15:59] you can't have because you're talking to me [15:59] forgot about safe mode... *blushes* [15:59] :D === Twittery is now known as Blizzerand [15:59] ok I'll give that a go [16:00] nawk: it boots directly to a text gui installer [16:00] nawk: you can not use the system only install it [16:00] !alternate | nawk [16:00] nawk: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD.

[16:31] my old graphics card broke ... so i have to substitute it: anyone who knows whether an nvidia tnt2 m64 32mb will flawlessly work with ubuntu 9.04? [16:31] i remember reading something on lifehacker [16:31] jet, yes, most likely [16:31] or other suggestions for old agp graphics cards ? [16:31] cool [16:31] hi, i just made a grow on my raid5 .. mdadm --detail /dev/md0 says: Array Size : 2930287488 (2794.54 GiB 3000.61 GB), but when i do right click->properties in the mounted volume, he tells me that there are only 1700 MB available ?! [16:31] bitmonster, possible yes [16:32] why [16:32] gatton, enabling the 8x agp? you have to insert this line in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf [16:32] I'm having some trouble with screen resolution, everytime I log into unbutu, the resolution is set too low, I change it, and try saving the file and I get an error..."unable to create new x config backup file '/etc/x11xorg.conf.backup" any known solution? [16:32] gatton, Option "AGPMode" "8" [16:32] im also seeing things about sd in dmesg. how can i isolate that stuff into something more understandable like lsusb? [16:32] gatton, in the section "Device" [16:32] phil_: Is the user as whom you are logged in a sudoer? [16:32] ok [16:32] in the german hardware database it's mentioned that nvidia riva tnt2 64 works with nvidia-glx-legacy drivers [16:32] socomm: hmmm === phil_ is now known as philf [16:33] socomm: have you tried taking the same machine you use inside the network and using it from outside the network? [16:33] gatton, it improve the performances just a bit [16:33] [ 4.284444] Driver 'sd' needs updating - please use bus_type methods [16:33] will i have to configure that or will it be recognized immediately? [16:33] ok [16:33] twotonspirit not sure how I'm logged in, I am the only user set up and using it [16:33] K99Brain, I will try that [16:33] twotonespirit, I DO use the sudo command at the terminal if that helps [16:33] tonsofpcs, I've tried only ssh clients and those don't seem to work [16:33] I have another problem though: for some reason VLC plays music ect, but online flash videos have no audio. [16:34] ? [16:34] tonsofpcs, http://www.netspace.org/ssh/ [16:35] jet, what version are you running? [16:35] 8.10 intrepid [16:35] that hasn't answered the question [16:35] jet, see if there are any updates you need to do [16:35] nm [16:35] i just found out that its in synaptic [16:36] tonsofpcs, negative to the question [16:36] jet, also might be worth a try to download 9.04 live cd and see how it runs, might fix things that aren't working now [16:36] ok, can you? [16:36] tonsofpcs, not at the monet [16:36] moment* [16:36] ... [16:36] yea im totally up to date i like 8.10 alot more than 9.04 [16:36] can you some other time and come back with the results? [16:37] jet, but don't upgrade without trying it [16:37] 9.04 wont let my zune play while plugged in [16:37] I seriously screwed up my wireless drivers to the point of them no longer working. Does anyone know how to reinstall them so that I don't have to do a full ubuntu reinstall? (Dell Inspiron 6000) [16:37] tonsofpcs, hah guess i'll have to try later [16:37] back [16:37] hi, where is the key "^g" when i use dvtm? [16:37] philf: Can you edit /etc/x11/xorg.conf by hand? [16:37] but im thinking it's gonna be my router [16:37] m1ky, ctrl+g [16:37] thanks for your help tonsofpcs [16:37] mirsal, i'll have a try [16:37] m1ky, "^" symbolizes the control key [16:37] soloslinger: your router is forwarding fine [16:38] it's your auth settings most likely [16:38] anyone want to help a linux newb with the ubiquitous sound problem (I've already done everything at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting)? [16:38] twotonespirit I can try, although I'm new to this and not sure how I would do that...if you walk me through it I'm sure I can [16:38] mirsal, it seems not work. [16:38] philf: sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [16:38] philf: But be careful :-) [16:39] What VM would you recommend installing under Ubuntu to run other LiveCD's.. preferrably a light-weight VM [16:39] philf, use gksudo, not sudo on that command [16:39] It pays to rember to backup systemc onfigs..befor youedit them [16:39] Hi is anyone a mysql guru?? [16:39] richj: #mysql maybe? [16:39] mirsal, so if i want to creat a new split windows, i need to press three key together? Ctrl+g+c? [16:40] i have an intel 5100 wireless card, but i am not able to make it work with ubuntu 9.10. could anybody help me out with some info [16:40] m1ky: ctrl-g then c normally [16:40] Hi anyone want to help a newb with sound problems (already followed all the troubleshooting recs)? [16:40] m1ky, I don't know dvtm [16:40] m1ky, but if it's ^g-c then it's as Dr_willis said [16:40] towtonespirit yes, using halitech's gksudo I can edit this file. [16:40] philf: In fact you may want to first run "cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup" - this will simply copy the file to a backup file. If you are unable to do this, it may shed some light on your initial problem [16:41] mirsal, you can have a try, the man doc says the mod key is "^g", and the create window key is "mod-c", but if i press ctrl+g+c, it does work. [16:41] twotonespirit I can try that now. [16:41] What's the difference between "limit" and "allow" in ufw? [16:41] Dr_willis, that's right. [16:41] m1ky: hmm.. mod is normally the 'alt' key i think. [16:41] Halitech, philf: I've never been clear on when and gksudo is necessary. I only use when I might not be able to type the password into the terminal for some reason or when I want the password dialog to appear on the visual display if I'm SSH'd in to a terminal. [16:42] mirsal, Dr_w get it. Thank you both guy. [16:42] !sudo | TwoToneSpirit philf [16:42] philf: Do you see a list of "modes" in your xorg.conf? [16:42] TwoToneSpirit philf: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [16:42] !gksu [16:42] If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [16:42] TwoToneSpirit: if it an x gui type appuse gksudo, of course ifyou are in the console.. theres no X.. so no need for gnsudo. [16:43] Anyone want to help with no sound (I know everyone is having this problem, but I've tried all the troubleshooting recs)? [16:43] TwoToneSpirit: if you have ssh 'x forwarrding' enabled. you can use gksudo also.. or go old-skool like im used to and use 'sux' :) (but thats a bad habbit) [16:43] Dr_Willis: Will do. I have seen that before but paid it no mind as I thought it made no difference. Do you know what difference it makes? [16:43] twotonespirit no such file or directory [16:43] TwoToneSpirit: X security credentials [16:43] philf: you have no /etc/X11/xorg.conf ?! - this is case sensitive [16:44] TwoToneSpirit: some day you will try to run an app with sudo and get 'cant open display' and then you will rember.. DOH@! use gksudo! [16:44] twotonespirit, OH, sorry didn't do the cap x will try again [16:44] philf, make sure you type /etc/X11/xorg.conf and not /etc/x11/xorg.conf [16:44] philf: use tab completion ;) [16:44] Public service anoucement : Yes.. rember Linux IS caSeSenEseTiVe! [16:44] philf: I've got to go. PM me if you like and I'll try to work with you later. Basically you want to add "Modes" under your "Subsection Display" - the modes work like this "Resolution - Refresh Rate" for example: Modes "1024x768_75.00" [16:45] has anybody used intel 5100 wireless card with ubuntu 9.** [16:45] Dr_Willis, Halitech: Thanks. I'll remember that in the future. :-) [16:45] help out a linux newb (who's at least already RTFMd)? [16:45] how can I use IPtables to drop any packets from interface eth1 that are destined for 192.168.0.0/24 ? [16:45] another question, if i use dwm as my wm, can i set a picture as my wall paper? [16:45] mrken1: give details and someone will help === rp3_ is now known as rp3 [16:46] !wireless | ciju, have a look here [16:46] ciju, have a look here: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [16:46] m1ky: you can customize most of that stuff.. but you may need to use some command line tool to do it in some cases.

[16:49] nowai__, something like. iptables -A INPUT -s eth0 -d 192.168.1.0/24 -j DROP [16:49] ubottu, i had a look there, searched on the topic etc. but there r no examples of anybody making it work with Ubuntu (may be even Linux). this was most promising, http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Download/stable/ but didnt work for me.

[16:50] Dr_willis: WOW!!! thanks!!! that is SOOO much better... [16:50] prince_jammys: found it, thanks! [16:50] Linux: the Os where you actually USE the tab key! and those other funny keys - like ~ and | [16:50] so "iptables -A INPUT -t filter -i eth1 -d 192.168.0.0/24 -j DROP" SHOULD drop any packets TO 192.168.0.* FROM eth1, right?

I've been googling for a bit and can't find something that would run off a USB key without installing something on the host machine beforehand. [16:51] mrken1:good. direct it to the whole channel, including what the problem is (no sound). I don't know the solution. [16:52] philf: all windows normally does.. is say 'reformat/reinstall' or 'go buy this $40 peice of trival-ware to fix a problem in the os.. or 'try this and pray' :) [16:52] still seem to be able to access 192.168.0.* from eth1 [16:52] xorg server just crashed :( [16:52] word [16:52] Hey [16:52] pngll: ive seen qemu done that way befor.

[17:03] Aragon, partition manager does not work becuase it does not list my raid devices like /dev/md0 [17:05] mrken1: that's cos it's waiting for padevchooser to be closed [17:05] pw-toxic, i believe ext4 is just an extension to extX - see http://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Frequently_Asked_Questions#How_to_online_resize_the_Ext4_filesystem.3F [17:05] mrken1: it looks like an audio jack in the system tray [17:05] Hi, when i try to mount a cd using "sudo mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdb /media/CD" i get this error: http://www.pastebin.org/3009 [17:05] boss_mc: got it; closed app in sys tray [17:06] boss_mc: term is back [17:06] mrken1: no, you need to use the app :) [17:06] pw-toxic, also, a big warning here - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1134978 [17:06] boss_mc: ok it's back [17:06] mrken1: it's a manager for pulse, to see how far the audio is getting [17:06] izap: do « dmesg | tail » like th error msg says [17:06] mrken1: cllick on it and click Volume Control [17:07] boss_mc: done [17:07] mrken1: opens a window, showing apps that are trying to play sound [17:07] izap: after tryong the command of course [17:07] unop, what does he mean with "off-line" ?

I didnt see a pre built deb there. [18:10] bjb1959: no output ? [18:10] dr__house: doubt it... the error should be evident ...

[18:11] hybrid: 404 not found [18:12] mrken1: yes [18:12] Hisham: no it is not missing [18:12] linuxguy2009: http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/snapshots/patch-2.6.30-git8.log [18:12] jrib, I use kde 4.2.4 if that makes any difference. if I log in using gnome it doesn't happen so it may have something to do with that although I don't know what. [18:12] erUSUL: Well then it is not downloading :( [18:12] Hisham: look here http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/ [18:12] Hisham: sorry you are right ... i get 404 [18:12] lollo3011: use this http://www.ubuntugeek.com/mount-manager-user-friendly-management-of-disks-and-partitions.html [18:13] hybrid: Yeah it looks that way.

I am connected to a SAMBA-share on the server, and can watch lag-free AVI-files, but no answer from the command [18:13] erUSUL: they've somehow messed up either the directory names or the links.. none of the torrent links for 8.04 works.. [18:13] Hisham: use my link.. it has working links on it [18:13] Slart: yep 8.04.3 not 2 is the current release [18:14] what is MS active directory, why do some people care, and most importantly, is there an ubuntu equivalent? [18:14] 567788 [18:14] erUSUL: Hmm it am downloading Ubuntu Server 9.04 for now but Will Neeed 8.04 badly :( [18:14] Hisham: use the url Slart gave you [18:14] hello, is there any way where i could run mac osx applications on ubuntu without having to install mac os x either as a guest os or natively on a intel dual core [18:14] Hisham: it works [18:15] bumblebee: no [18:15] linduxed: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_directory [18:15] hybrid: You absolutely sure the drivers at opensource creative site are the same and no good? === eoeas1 is now known as eoeas [18:15] linduxed: in order: 1) http://lmgtfy.com/?q=what+is+microsoft+active+directory 2) because it makes some things simpler in a network, 3) surely, and likely not specific to ubuntu, but I don't know what it is [18:16] jrib, any ideas? [18:16] well has anyone tried installing mac osx and ubuntu on a dual boot machine [18:16] When it comes to programming languages, what should I use: C/C++, Python, or Ruby on Rails (for wxWidgets/wxGTK2.*)? [18:16] Slart: Well Thanks Man !! [18:16] Hisham: you're welcome [18:16] debac1e: well ill check that out [18:16] enigma415: that would depend entirely on what you're writing.. [18:16] Do I have to learn how to use this OS all by my self? [18:16] erUSUL: And thanks for helping me out i nearly Missed Slart's link :P [18:16] enigma415: depends what you want to do? easy = python, hardware = C [18:16] yes, they are reverse enginered from some test files for DOS [18:16] enigma415: depends a lot on personal preference and what libraries you're working with (wx has good bindings for c/c++ and python, in particular) [18:17] hybrid: You should call creative tech support and see if they can point you in the right direction. Seriously dought they will be any help whatsoever but its worth a try. [18:17] ultimately, I want performance apps [18:17] wihtout resorting to assembly [18:17] (not yet anyways :P) [18:17] enigma415: C/C++ then.. throw in some asm for good measure [18:17] enigma415: I'm having a lot of fun with python, and knowing c/c++ lets you rewrite bits that are speed-critical [18:17] what is the performance diff? [18:17] enigma415: then C is your choice (or maybe the mysterious Ada) [18:17] enigma415: or go with something that can adapt to whatever it is running on.. in some cases that might make it faster than a static app [18:18] asu [18:18] who is here? [18:18] enigma415: <-----------> that's the difference between python and C++ .. (not to scale) [18:18] lol [18:18] hi [18:18] ? [18:19] enigma415: Mind you, performance doesn't always mean reliable. [18:19] enigma415: the speed difference is over-estimated in many cases, and the importance of developer-efficiency is under-estimated [18:19] I'm having some trouble connecting an box to my home network. When I try to setup a connection automatically from a fresh install I get an error saying my Network autoconfiguration failed with it suggesting my network is not using the DHCP protocol. [18:19] debac1e: Agree! [18:19] hybrid: Soon there will be no need for any of this as the ALSA team and kernel team are working hard on integrating them into the core Linux system. Watch out for this in Karmic Koala (see bottom of post)! http://www.fusetext.com/2009/05/ubuntu-linux-creative-sound-blaster-x-fi-driver-installation-how-to/ [18:19] when it comes to games, performance >= functionality [18:19] enigma415: if you're looking for performance you'd be better off educating the programmer.. in the end that is what will make the difference [18:20] im teaching myself [18:20] VonRonsenburg: do you have a DHCP server running? e.g. a properly configured (usually by default) linksys, dlink, etc. router? [18:20] i just need to know what language i should use with my new os [18:20] enigma415: if you're learning... use both [18:20] C++ or python [18:20] enigma415: if it doesn't work, it doesn't matter how fast it doesn't work [18:20] ur right [18:20] lol [18:21] i should learn both, but for now i just want one language for defualt development [18:21] bumblebee: http://apple.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/07/30/0230204 [18:21] enigma415: and for the love of all that is clean and newly washed stop with the lol and 'u' [18:21] debac1e: I'm relatively sure that it's properly configured. I'm using an ASUS router that I flashed with dd-wrt and the default network address server settings are DCHP Server. [18:21] enigma415: Depends what you want. Python is easy to write. C is fast [18:21] Slart: lolk [18:21] Python is interpretive language, right? [18:22] !lol | enigma415 Slart [18:22] enigma415 Slart: Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. [18:22] enigma415: every good programmer I've known has known 5+ programming languages, trying to just pick one is the wrong approach [18:22] I can't mount NFS-shares. I followed this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo and every other time I have had to do it, it's worked immediately.

I am connected to a SAMBA-share on the server, and can watch lag-free AVI-files, but no answer from the command [18:22] enigma415: Yeah, interpretive, Iterative, Softly-typed [18:22] sorry... its habit from warcraft III [18:22] enigma415: if you want to get started and even want to do games, and don't know much programming already, learning both c++ and python is a good approach, imho [18:22] !ot | enigma415 debac1e [18:22] enigma415 debac1e: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

Lord is there anything we are allowed to do here. man. [18:23] debac1e: I tried continueing with the install and attempting to alter /etc/network/interfaces myself to add a static address as well hoping it would connect but I've yet to get this box to connect. [18:23] VonRonsenburg: just to double check, do you have another computer on the network that uses DHCP and works? [18:23] linuxguy2009: cry in silence.. but only in #ubuntu-offtopic [18:23] well, before i chose to change os from windows vista to linux ubuntu, i was writing fluent C#.NET and not-too-bad C++ [18:24] ubottu is putin the smack down today [18:24] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [18:24] hello, im trying to sort out screen resolution issues using dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg but it doesnt actually ask me anything about my monitor / graphics card. It exits after a few questions about my keyboard (which is working, obv) - any way to force it to ask about the monitor? [18:24] !mono | enigma415 [18:24] Sorry, I don't know anything about mono [18:24] debac1e: the laptop I'm on currently is setup and working via DHCP [18:24] linuxguy2009: interesting post, it says it will first come in 2.6.31 while the logs for 2.6.30 said in a way that it was there already..., i am running 2.6.30 right now and 2.6.31 is in RC stage [18:24] enigma415: take a look at mono.. I think it's .net for linux or something like that [18:24] hey so my new ubuntu is coming along nicely. but the last thing is I need to find is the graphics driver. I've tried looking everywhere but i just cant find a geforce 9600m gs driver for linux. can anyone give some pointers please? [18:24] VonRonsenburg: I'm not an ubuntu expert and don't know where to direct you from here, sorry [18:24] !tab|steven_ [18:24] steven_: You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [18:25] debac1e: Okay, thanks anyway! :) [18:25] enigma415: http://mono-project.com [18:25] i dont like .net [18:25] enigma415: good [18:25] enigma415: oh.. ok.. nevermind my link then [18:25] Oh I see it was slart that doesnt approve of laughing here. hmm [18:25] too attached to the evil microsoft [18:25] my bad [18:25] why doesnt dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg ask me about screen resolutions? [18:25] linuxguy2009: yes.. I'm the bad one.. hiding behind ubottu [18:25] hybrid: yeah looks like its in the process of getting done. [18:25] mrken1: How are things going man? [18:26] hi! is there a way to repair an ubuntu installation without losing my documents (home directory)? i wasn't smart and i didn't put the home directory on a separate partition like i was supposed to [18:26] [ubottu] disculpa,no hablo ingles [18:26] Paddy_NI: still installing libraries [18:26] !es | Notengonik [18:26] Notengonik: 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. [18:26] so what do i need, besides wxgtk2.8.tar.gz for installing wxWidgets? [18:26] TheChuckster: you can boot from a live cd and access the documents from there [18:26] TheChuckster: Almost definitely! [18:26] by repair i mean reinstall [18:26] TheChuckster: Be more specific. What are you trying to do? [18:26] mrken1: sure thing... I am just popping out for another smoke.. just in case you where wondering :) [18:26] right [18:27] TheChuckster: you might be able to reinstall and use the current /home but it's easy to miss something and then it's gone for real [18:27] well unresolved dependencies and updates and leftover files plague my system [18:27] TheChuckster: Do you NEED to reinstall? What about the system isn't working? [18:27] so... anyone know any nvidia linux drivers? [18:27] enigma415: you should probably try #wx (or #wxwidgets or whatever they call it), ##c++, #python, etc. since you're not talking about ubuntu anymore [18:27] Paddy_NI: Ah no smakong. Give you cancer. [18:27] is the eclipse version 3.2.2 the actual one for ubuntu? [18:27] Paddy_NI: ok, thanks for checking in on me [18:27] i can't update my system and it's just a piece of junk [18:27] TheChuckster: You're just 1 step ahead of my questions! :) [18:27] I've been trying set up a home media server but I've been having trouble connecting the box to the network, does anyone have any suggestions? [18:27] enigma415: wxGtk ?? Shouldn't it be wxWidgets OR Gtk ?? [18:27] ivan_: get those from the repo, and only as last resort directly from Nivida or you are bound to have problems [18:27] so... wx* are OS-independant? [18:27] NEBAP: from what I've heard, you're better off installing eclipse from source.. the version in the repos might be out of date [18:27] TheChuckster: So you'd rather try to reinstall than go through fixing the dependencies? Do you have a live CD on hand? [18:27] well heres what i see now [18:27] oh lol [18:28] "Not All updates can be installed" [18:28] oh k i am kind of new to that, it has something to do with apt-get right? [18:28] Slart: ok, is it possible to use a galileo package? [18:28] run a partial upgrade to install as many updates as possible [18:28] argh! [18:28] ivan_: system > administaration > hardware drivers [18:28] ok ill check the channels === steven_ is now known as sbradley33 [18:28] NEBAP: I don't know what that is, sorry [18:28] thanks for the help guys! [18:28] Slart: k thanks :) [18:28] TheChuckster: The situation you're in is not hopeless. I can help you get your system working again or I can help you reinstall without losing your data. Which would you like to do? [18:28] ivan_: If you want very stable drivers use the ones recomened in System, Administration, Hardware Drivers. Otherwise there are much newer and improved drivers at Nvidia.com, thats what I use and never have issues. [18:28] Slart: is xchat the most "common" irc client for ubuntu / linux? [18:28] sweet! thanks i think it'l do just fine [18:29] Hi.. I changed a setting in ccsm that makes right click context menus pop up in a wavy bouncy fashion.. But now that i have set a default open/close action for all windows in Animations sections in ccsm, it gets overridden... Where else is the setting for these right click context menus? [18:29] edbian, wow thanks for all of the help [18:29] TheChuckster: NP! :) [18:29] NEBAP: http://popcon.ubuntu.com/ [18:29] you're one of the nicest people i've met on a Linux IRC channel [18:29] haha [18:29] TheChuckster: Thanks [18:29] btw how do you guys keep highlighting my name so your text shows up a different color [18:29] TheChuckster: Please start your posts with my name though so I see them easier. [18:29] NEBAP: I think it's installed by default.. but it's been a while since I installed a fresh ubuntu so I might be wrong [18:29] ivan_: type first few letters of name and hit tab [18:29] ivan_, That is in your client [18:29] ivan_: that's your client [18:29] sebsebseb, thanks [18:29] np [18:29] philf: Thanks for the tip [18:29] ivan_: Just start with another persons name and it will highlight for them. [18:29] edbian, well hold tight one sec while i try to repair the updating problem... if i can fix that, then i might be able to avoid reinstalling the entire system [18:30] Can anyone help me with connecting an Ubuntu server to my home network? I've been having some trouble. [18:30] edbian, right now it's running a partial update [18:30] i'm having some trouble shutting down my pc (with ubuntu 9.04 installed), it seems to close down all applications, and shuts down all daemons, and even comes to send the "System halted" message - but it just stays there, doesn't turn the power off. Any ideas? [18:30] *upgrade [18:30] TheChuckster: Sure! Go for the partial update and see what happens [18:30] alright thank you very much for this quick solution to my problems [18:30] Slart: which one? xchat [18:30] NEBAP: yes [18:30] gajop: must be a ubuntu bug. Maybe report it? [18:30] NEBAP: or wait.. xchat-gnome [18:30] Slart: ah ok, thanks :) [18:30] VonRonsenburg: What do you want to serve? [18:31] NEBAP: xchat-gnome is a little shinier than xchat.. but doesn't have all the options/menus and stuff [18:31] ahem.. which setting other than the "Animations" section changes the right click menu popup animation? [18:31] linuxguy2009: how do i report it? what should i include in the report? [18:31] in ccsm [18:31] I can't mount NFS-shares. I followed this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo and every other time I have had to do it, it's worked immediately. From my laptop(wifi) I get this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/221741/ when I run rpcinfo -p , but on wired media-PC it hangs. I am connected to a SAMBA-share on the server, and can watch lag-free AVI-files, but no answer from the command [18:32] is there a tutorial for getting the correct screen resolution to show up? [18:32] Slart: oh, thats ok I'm not using most of the "special" stuff ;) [18:32] eoeas: Ultimately I was planning on FTPing in to transfer files back and forth. Any kind of media really. [18:32] Paddy_NI: you back? [18:32] mrken1: yeah I'm here [18:32] gajop: Anyone remeber where to report bugs? Isnt it on LaunchPad.net? Been a while since i did one. [18:32] Hello all, I was wondering if I could get some help with Nvidia NV5M64 driver installation [18:32] Paddy_NI: one question on the last step [18:32] !lp | linuxguy2009 [18:32] linuxguy2009: Launchpad is a collection of development services for Open Source projects. It's Ubuntu's bug tracker, and much more; see https://launchpad.net/ [18:32] edbian, 212 package upgrades :o [18:32] sorry that was for the room [18:32] after the parial upgrade [18:33] VonRonsenburg: ProFtpd with Gtk GUI, easy to use and configure [18:33] hi [18:33] TheChuckster: That's gonna take a bit of time huh. What did you do to get so far behind? Were you messing with repos? [18:33] gajop: See what ubottu said? (With the help of Paddy_NI BTW) [18:33] eoeas: I don't think I'll have trouble setting up the FTP once I get to that stage, what I'm having trouble with is actually getting the box to connect to the network period. [18:33] well for a long time i just wasnt upgrading because it was broken [18:33] Paddy_NI: are you sure I should edit the alsa-base file with options snd-hda-intel position_fix=1 model=3stack and not options snd-hda-intel position_fix=1 model=3stack-6ch-dig? [18:33] i dont know why the partial upgrade worked this time [18:33] i tried it a while back and it failed [18:33] TheChuckster: On the plus side it sounds like apt-get is in control. [18:33] VonRonsenburg: I find static IPs behind NAT easier to setup and use if you're going to be serving than DHCP behind NAT [18:33] TheChuckster: HA HA HA [18:34] Slart: I'm just a total linux beginner, but I really like ubuntu :) [18:34] VonRonsenburg: at least for a home network [18:34] TheChuckster: I'm gonna pretend you weren't serious about not upgradeing ;) [18:34] haha thats optimistic [18:34] OMG remastersys ROCKS!!! now i have a live CD version of my current laptop install.

No associate with the SSID at all. I've been scouring the net trying to find ways to get it to connect but all the solutions I've found require that I have some sort of [18:40] but i just inserted the cd again and i said "no chance to computer" and now it works again!!

[18:42] me2pro4god: You're rather likely to run off the liveCD. Meaning you have a working Ubuntu environment as long as the CD is in the drive. Take it out and reboot and see if you still have a system. If you don't, you have to reinstall. [18:42] #ubuntu-it [18:42] eoeas: iwlist displays no wireless extensions for lo, eth0, and wmaster0 however it does show info for wlan0 [18:42] Shawnc: you need to have the required codecs if certain files play and some dont.

He wanted to get his video to work and doesnt even know what kind he has for sure.

(for linux Ubuntu 9.04) [18:47] fdsa: No, but you probably won't need it, as SFTP generally does the same and more. [18:47] me2pro4god: If you do a sudo command, you are running as administrator/superuser. It won't ask too many questions then, or stop you doing foolish things since the computer then is basically told: I know what I'm doing, so just do what I say.

[18:48] fdsa: sftp is secure ftp (over ssh) [18:48] thank linuxguy [18:49] fdsa: Both SCP and SFTP are for copying files over SSH -- and WinSCP supports both too. [18:49] <----is going Karmic -----> only for the brave [18:49] eoeas: Actually here's what I'm gonna do. I'm going to attempt to install 9.04 (not server edition) and see if I can't configure the connection from there. If I can get it to work from there then It's me and Server Edition quarreling hah. [18:49] fdsa: But SCP is for transferring _single_ files, so WinSCP defaults to using SFTP unless you change it. [18:49] VonRonsenburg: check bois settings for somthing like "onboard network" should be on, read through dmesg to see if card is activated at boot, get a pci eth card from a friend and see if that works [18:49] Hello [18:49] Hola [18:49] ok no problem guys i just downloaded recover.exe from the web i think its gonna get my data back thank you all for helping me!!!

The other is a tool that can annotate PDFs. (Unfortunately evince doesn't even display annotated PDFs correctly). So, any suggestions? [18:51] eoeas: aswell as a gnu based iso or an nt based image [18:51] FLJohn: Yep! via command line: "sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree" [18:51] fdsa: IIRC, KDE's Dolphin also supports SFTP - just open sftp://username@hostname/ in the address bar.

[19:02] eoeas: but it's not exactly what I'm looking for [19:02] Halabund: yes it can [19:02] Halabund: flpsed is an pdf annotator. its in add remove search for "pdf edit" [19:02] Paddy_NI: now everything comes up in the 'vol control' area when I play it [19:02] linuxguy2009: I know that, but after a recent HAL update, more of the keyboard shortcuts work, but print screen broke. Should I file a bug report for something as small as that? [19:02] Amnesia: Tell me, in Grub 2, can you boot a ISO directly without unpacking ? [19:02] eoeas: Hey I made a breakthrough! I ran ifconfig wlan0 up and then iwlist wlan0 scanning and found my network! Do you know how I would go arround to connecting to it via the terminal? [19:03] eoeas: yep [19:03] Scunizi: I just tried, and it didn't have those functions. It can't add comments, and can't highlight anything else than a single line. [19:03] Paddy_NI: that is, the Pulseaudio mgr output device [19:03] eoeas: thats why I picked grub2 === devil is now known as ankush [19:03] eoeas: check: http://www.panticz.de/MultiBootUSB [19:03] how can I have ubuntu check for hard drives and remount them [19:03] Paddy_NI: but nothing through the speakers [19:03] Jimmio: Was your HAL update done manually or within system updates? [19:03] hi all, running into bug and googling says solution is to: Removing the supplied 8.04 libqt3-mt3:3.3.8-b0ubuntu3.i386 package and installing the 8.10 libqt3-mt3:3.3.8-b5ubuntu1.i386 package resolves this issue. How do i do make is to I can add the 8.10 libqt3-mt3:3.3.8-b5ubuntu1.i386 package??? [19:03] jimnkristy, please see pm [19:03] mattgyver: ubuntu sees it, listed in places, but wont mount === Bodsda|away is now known as Bodsda [19:03] Halabund: Did you used to use the full version of Adobe Reader? If you did, maybe try installing it through WINE? Sorry, I don't have it to test :\ [19:03] this from dell mini10v netbook [19:03] Halabund: http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/project/pdfimport [19:04] linuxguy2009: It was automatically updated. [19:04] mattgyver: pm? [19:04] Paddy_NI: Please tell me how you got OpenOffice to edit PDF files then. When I try opening them it opens them as ASCII. [19:04] linuxguy2009: im trying to play the new game HoN, I just want to take a screenshot of the issues I am having ingame.. I was told to use F5 for this, I Have no idea what program this keystroke is binded to [19:04] that is running 8.04 but I need 8.10 libqt3-mt3:3.3.8-b5ubuntu1.i386 package [19:04] Paddy_NI: Ah, I see [19:04] yo yo yo [19:04] Halabund: ;) [19:04] how can I check an ntfs drive for errors using fsck [19:04] jimnkristy, private message, can you show me the command you typed to produce that error? [19:04] :D [19:04] fsck is ext filesystems only [19:04] Paddy_NI:Any chance it's the HDMI over video card issue? [19:04] Amnesia: so have you tried a similar configuration? [19:04] im using irssi via gnome terminal, i know paste is shift + insert. what is copy for keyboard command? [19:04] lesshaste: check if you have apturl package installed and referenced as the default application for apt url's in firefox [19:04] mrken1: okay have you made sure all your mixer tracks for the intel alsa are unmuted and turned up [19:05] OpenBluntSurgery: Oh if its ingame then its in the folder of the game. Check the game documenation for that has nothing to do with ubuntu. [19:05] simple bool question: do i have to copy the wxGTK2.8 files to the newly created ~/buildgtk before the "../configure --with-gtk" command? [19:05] mrken1: I dont think so [19:05] has someone seen putty sessions hanging open when exiting on Ubuntu karmic? they SSH process goes "defunct" [19:05] Jimmio: I used a freeware program called PDF XChange. If I don't find anything, I'll try if it works with wine then. [19:05] heh if i enlarge my venus, with raid ext4 what do i nede to do? [19:05] basically how do i copy in any terminal window to clipboard? [19:05] Jimmio: So your printscreen key does nothing at all? [19:05] Amnesia: I mean, did you get a error code?

[19:05] i got 4 discs radid 5 UUUU [19:05] linuxguy2009: uhh LOL did you read the error? it has plenty to do with libjpeg package [19:05] Paddy_NI: I think so, but where is the best place to go for sure [19:05] eoeas: yeah [19:05] cat /proc/mdstat [19:05] linuxguy2009: Nothing at all :( [19:05] sebsebseb: thanks, was looking for that channel [19:06] eoeas: using grub4dos I already did it [19:06] cPF: np [19:06] eoeas: but using grub2 its slighty different [19:06] Oh my bad. [19:06] mrken1: right click the volume icon and select open volume control [19:06] can anyone help me get my external usb HD connected? I'm on day 3 of troubleshooting [19:06] how to replace the supplied 8.04 libqt3-mt3:3.3.8-b0ubuntu3.i386 package with the 8.10 libqt3-mt3:3.3.8-b5ubuntu1.i386 package on dell mini 10v??? [19:06] FirstSgt: Shift+Ctrl+C to copy.

[19:06] mrken1: once that is done select preferences and tick all the different tracks that are offered [19:07] Paddy_NI: not a problem running ALSA and PulseAudio?

[19:10] running 8.04 [19:10] Paddy_NI: So this PDF import extension has to be downloaded separately? Is it not included in Ubuntu (I cannot find it)? [19:10] Im trying to clone a repository using hg clone command...but the connection seems to be dropping for some reason..any way to copy the repository ? [19:10] Jimmio: Check your keyboard shortcuts in System, preferences, keyboard shortcuts. Theres one there for screencapturing. See if its empty and or if you can set it manually to whatever you like.

Just turn off the audio CD leveller, it levels everything way too low. [19:11] ross: ubuntu 9.04 has a cd creator Applications>accessiries [19:11] Jimmio: Should be print and alt + print for each listed as defaults.

How hard is it to detect keys that are reading as scan codes 5xxxxx? It can't be that hard really. Keytouch can read them, but it breaks everything else it seems.. [19:15] Jimmio: Every OS comes with bugs. [19:15] Annoyingperson: under setup -> network setup -> proxies [19:15] I thought when inported proxies with this command export HTTP_PROXY=174.129.214.93:80 all terminal applications woulld be under that ip? [19:16] Annoyingperson: links might not be reading those environment variables [19:16] need help -- > I am getting very loud hissing (static) type sound immediatly after logon in ubuntu gui. how can I solve the issue, or see what is run while booting from login menu [19:16] Jimmio: Maybe boot the live CD and try your keyboard there? if it doesnt work there, then it may be your hardware and not Ubuntu. [19:16] i See thank you. [19:16] ubuntunewbie: what do you mean? [19:17] Annoyingperson: wget surely uses environment variables, but i'm not sure about links [19:17] how do I see if my video drivers are working properly ? [19:17] What about others like ssh and ftp ? [19:17] gatton: glxgears -info might give you some hints [19:17] gatton: 3d drivers you mean? [19:17] Sorry mrken1 I am getting terrible lag at the moment with my mobile broadband... must be all that internet radio :) [19:17] eoeas: I wanted to output including ls to text file [19:17] linuxguy can ubunto read ntfs and fat?

[19:18] !ntfs [19:18] To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [19:18] example : /media/cdrom0$ ls -l -R (wanted to add md5sum check)> ~/Desktop/forms.txt [19:18] do i have to recompile..... [19:18] ubuntunewbie: ls -l >mylist.txt [19:18] Tim1: Compile what? [19:18] of course only http , slow day for me. =/ [19:18] how can I access the etc folder with write permission? [19:18] Annoyingperson: no worries [19:18] glxgears works [19:19] OK, I think I'll try that Windows program with wine. OpenOffice practically destroys PDFs when opening them (no wonder, PDFs are not meant to be edited), flpsed can't do anything else than add text (no highlighting, no annotations). PDFs can contain "annotations" or "comments", e.g. one can highlight a piece of text, and attach a note that will only pop up in a PDF reader (in a separate window) when clicking the highlighting. That's what I n [19:19] eed. [19:19] NEBAP: use sudo [19:19] but everything else is slow [19:19] geekening u said it could read ntfs [19:19] NEBAP: sudo nautilus [19:19] eoeas: example : /media/cdrom0$ ls -l -R (wanted to include and create md5sum) > ~/Desktop/forms.txt [19:19] musikgoat|main: where should I use sudo? [19:19] !gksudo | linuxguy2009, NEBAP [19:19] linuxguy2009, NEBAP: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [19:19] eoeas: example : /media/cdrom0$ ls -l -R -md5sum > ~/Desktop/forms.txt but it doesn't work [19:19] NEBAP: alt+f2 gksudo nautilus [19:19] ubottu: thank you [19:19] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [19:19] NEBAP: follow Slart's advice, gksudo nautilus [19:19] NEBAP: if you want to edit a file in /etc you could run "gksudo gedit /etc/yourfile" [19:19] Tim1, are you trying to read the files you have in windows? [19:20] linuxguy2009: Well, that's true. But recently I've been using Ubuntu 100% bug free, and just noticed that it stopped using print screen. It works fine btw, as it used to work here. It's really not that big of a deal, but I'd like to use some of the shortcut keys that are built in.. I'm using Ubuntu for game engine development and so far it's going great. Things are so easy... Need SDL? sudo apt-get install libsdl1.2-dev I can't wai [19:20] anyone know why vlc player plays the audio, but any flash video does not ? the volumes are all at max [19:20] yes geekeing [19:20] ubuntunewbie: you mean a include a md5sum for every file in the list? [19:20] any idea how to copy files from a repository? [19:20] Slart: sudo works with gtk apps also as long as you keep the terminal open. Doesnt really matter much. [19:20] on ntfs partion [19:20] partion [19:20] linuxguy2009: you do it that way if you want to.. but don't recommend it to others [19:20] can anyone tell me why the exe files arent opening in my ubuntu OS [19:20] Slart: I want to use the File-Browser to edit the folder [19:20] eoeas: yep [19:20] sound card not good enough maybe [19:20] I accidentally unmounted my USB storage device without unmounting or emptying the trash and now the system will only mount it as read only. How can I fix this problem?? [19:20] linuxguy2009: read the link ubottu mentioned [19:20] Abhineet, .exe files are for windows/dos [19:21] How can I load the 'fuse' module? I'm following the instructions as per https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FolderEncryption however I get a fatal error upon sudo modprobe fuse, saying that the module fuse can not be found [19:21] NEBAP: then it's gksudo nautilus.. but please be very very careful with that window [19:21] eoeas: and create md5sum on files inside the directory too [19:21] NEBAP: Be absolutely sure you know what you're doing when gksudo-ing Nautilus. It's perhaps the easiest way to destroy your setup. Be ABSOLUTELY sure you REALLY need to run Nautilus as root! [19:21] it should just show up on your computer [19:21] under file system i think [19:21] Slart: thanks [19:21] Slart: Its apreciated if you dont be an old crab and be hounding folks. If you have some advice for someone just tell them not me. [19:21] eoeas: just like how the burner Brasero include a cheksum.txt when burning [19:22] Can anyone tell me how to connect my wireless card to my wireless network via the terminal? [19:22] Well, the good thing is that while searching for PDF tools, I found a molecule drawing program perfect for making that figure I'll need to prepare tomorrow :) [19:22] Advice needed desperately- After installing a Dlink DWL-g120 wireless card with ndiswrapper, the computer freezes on reboot at the splash screen, then eventually displays the following error right after "starting bluetooth" : "[ 450.972022] INFO: task hid2hci:3230 blocked for more than 120 seconds.

[19:22] ubuntunewbie: find /media/cdrom |md5sum >mylist.txt [19:22] Slart: just want to manually install eclipse [19:22] K99Brain: I believe fuse is used for NTFS as well [19:22] Sudo and GKsudo, while they may be different, running windowed apps with sudo still work fine.. so lets not argue that? xP [19:22] I thought fuse was an auto-mount daemon for gnome [19:22] eoeas: means I need to separate the line of output together ? [19:23] K99Brain: I have the latest version of libfuse2 and fuse-utils as well [19:23] I was wondering if anyone knows of a screenlet that works with Amarok 2 to display now playing. Controls preferred but not critical. [19:23] !gksudo | jimmo [19:23] jimmo: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [19:23] anybody know where is the "pop" sound file located which you hear when the laptop battery is low? [19:23] Abhineet: .EXE-files are Windows-programs, and as such aren't native to Linux. Many can be run through !WINE, but not all of them work perfectly. .deb and .rpm are the most common program-files for Linux. [19:23] Jimmo never use sudo to open graphical applications [19:23] unforgiven512, yes, i was not sure. however, starting from hardy ntfs can be read and write without that module, if i'm not worng [19:23] Jimmo http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo [19:23] thank you guys [19:24] K99Brain: I'm not looking to get NTFS working, my NTFS already works -- I'm attempting to set up an encrypted folder with EncFS as per this tutorial https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FolderEncryption [19:25] henux: /usr/share/gnome-power-manager contains some wav files that might be what you're looking for [19:25] eoeas: not working , it doesn't even create md5 on every files.I got like 200 doc files on thecd [19:25] K99Brain: Ubuntu does include ntfs-3g by default [19:25] sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list Well, to be perfectly honest, most of the time it isn't. [19:25] ubuntunewbie: forget the last command i gave you, it doesn't work, you need a little script for that [19:25] unforgiven512, ok. fuse-utils and libfuse2 are installed? [19:25] K99Brain: Correct. [19:25] eoeas: uhm , is it hard to write script ? [19:25] says right on there most of the time its no issue at all running gtk apps as sudo instead of gtksudo [19:26] ubuntunewbie: i could give you a longer version [19:26] glitsj16: are those files in public domain? [19:26] eoeas: really ! ? thanks ! :D [19:26] Bottom line: most of the time when you use sudo for graphical applications, it's fine. hehe [19:26] says right on that page [19:27] I have a PC running Ubuntu 9.04 with an nVidia NForce2 Ultra graphics card. [19:27] glitsj16: or are they GPLd? [19:27] It's not recognizing the need for any proprietary drivers under "hardware drivers", and it refuses to recognize my monitor (connected via VGA). [19:27] henux: i don't know, they are part of the gnome-power-manager package that's all i know [19:27] k [19:27] Why would my wireless card cause my computer to freeze unless I run depmod -a and modprobe ndiswrapper every time before plugging it in? [19:27] I'd like to use it to connect to a a widescreen display at 720p resolution (also through VGA). [19:27] What should I do? [19:27] spasticteapot: go download a driver manually from nvidia.com [19:28] Support of NTFS partition for linux has always been a problem. Projects exist since many years but was always experimental, and was claim to be not safe. On the 14th of July 2006, a developer of the linux-ntfs team, Szabolcs Szakacsits, revolution this area by releasing a new driver ntfs-3g which claimed to provide full read/write support for all NTFS partition. After months of successful testing by hundreds of thousands of users in beta status, [19:28] K99Brain: Is FUSE compiled in the kernel, therefore not having a module? [19:28] spasticteapot, Download and install manually from nvidia.com [19:28] i should get ntfs-3g [19:29] Tim1, I use ntfs-3g, it works fine [19:29] K99Brain: I have a fuse group already... [19:29] unforgiven512, uhm, i don't think. And i don't see that module in my jaunty [19:29] ubuntunewbie: 1) ls -l >myscript.sh 2) ad to first line !#/bin/bash 3) for the rest of the lines: ad md5sum in front of every file entry 4) execute your: myscript.sh >mylist.txt [19:30] Alguien me puede decir como apurar a ubuntu? [19:30] Antes era más rápido que ahora [19:30] K99Brain: I'm using jaunty as well. I know ntfs-3g depends on FUSE, and that is what 9.04 is using for it's NTFS driver [19:30] pero va algo lentito [19:30] Hello, how come sound doesn't work?

If DNS goes down, it should still work if the IP-adress of the server is in the hosts-file. If it is, and you can't to it by name, then ask again. [19:44] tomay, Congratulations. Have fun with it!

I'll read through that, though it looks identical to the things I've already been trying from other sites [20:13] emanux, here is one link http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=549648 [20:13] dakarn: the fade out that happens just before gnome-screensaver kicks in? [20:13] hellow [20:13] rellik: keep in mind, that to the OS your disks haven't changed, but to the bios your disks have, there is a new one [20:13] rellik: that's the key [20:14] glitsj16, nope.. try it :) [20:14] slart: no it's not a fade out, it's like all the parts of the window manager start turning black =/ [20:14] firestorm: you can copy the folder to your desktop to mess around without root permissions; and you can use "gdmthemetester" to check what it looks like [20:14] dakarn: it happens on a live cd? [20:14] emanux, another http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2006/10/24/use-evolution-with-microsoft-exchange-ubuntu-606-610/ [20:14] ikonia, I figured at least a full reinstall would fix the issue, by reinstalling and reconfiguring grub [20:14] VCoolio: thanks for the snippet. My .xml already has that section though but doesn't supppply [20:14] sbradley33, Please google with your web cams make and model. [20:14] ikonia, but I still get it =/ [20:14] rellik: don't need a full re-install, just re-apply grub to the mbr, but this time pointing at the correct partition for /boot [20:15] slart: it's installed. he was messing with compiz settings and now it seems like his video card is bugging out [20:15] ikonia, yeah, but I *did* a full reinstall, and it didn't change anything [20:15] lesshaste: using apturl only works as another frontend to dpkg, if flvstreamer isn't in any standard repo, it will never work i believe [20:15] eoeas: ok thanks for tell , gtg now see you guys [20:15] greetings channel, when i install ubuntu on my computer, it auto-detects the video card and monitor in a very nice way, making a detailed and effective xorg.conf file. how can i reproduce that autodetect sequence ? "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" and "Xorg -configure" do not seem to yield similar results. [20:15] rellik: that's quite possible [20:15] glitsj16, right.. I just want to add a helper I think for firefox [20:15] izap: because hdb can only be harddrive, which is not ISO9660 [20:16] firestorm: either the code is wrong or the text is the same color as the background then, wouldn't know what else [20:16] glitsj16, just not sure what the helper app should be [20:16] ubuntunewbie: see ya [20:16] ph [20:16] VCoolio: probably the latter ... will change the colour and see what happens next time i log out / in ... many thanks! [20:16] dakarn: your friend could check if it still happens when he/she disables compiz and uses only metacity. If that fixes things I would start by resetting compiz.. not sure how to do that but uninstalling it and then reinstalling it might do it if you use the --purge option (or select remove completely) in synaptic [20:16] lesshaste: if you have apturl installed, you can point firefox to use that as helper app through the firefox preferences [20:16] lesshaste: point it to "apturl" [20:17] firestorm: paste your xml file in the pastebin, I could check (not that I'm an expert, but still) === WoLAnD is now known as Guest42654 [20:17] izap: try: sudo mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /media/CD [20:17] slart: i'm in a virtual console and i'm going to sudo apt-get purge compiz [20:18] dakarn: do that [20:18] lesshaste: I use Opera myself, and changing that setting is much easier there, but when you click on the file, you have the option of opening with a program, or storing it to disk. Can't you choose to "Open with another program..." and then type in "gdebi". And then ask it to do that automatically from now on? [20:18] VCoolio: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/222153/ note that my colour is #ffffff .... I have a white/light grey background on my menu bar ... not sure if that is the issue? [20:18] slart: k compiz is purged [20:19] dakarn: ok, then reinstall it [20:19] I'm trying to set up a planetplanet feed aggregator but I can't figure out how to filter content. Anyone know hot to achieve filtering using planetplanet? [20:19] * R0ncoToke wishes every one in the Indian time zone, " goodnight "! [20:19] using aMSN, trying to view the other persons webcam, and/or recieve files, can't do either, I've forwarded the ports (according to google the port #s) on the router, and tried to open them on the UFW, but still can't do either..any thoughts? [20:20] philf, Im stuck with the same problem. [20:20] OttifantSir, right but what is the appropriate tool [20:20] glitsj16, oh.. ok [20:20] philf: the msn protocol changes a lot, it is possible there is a current incompatability - just possible [20:20] firestorm: could be, ffffff = white [20:20] slart: i just killed the compiz stuff running, purged, and exited the virt console and now it's gnome running. everything looks good. ty [20:20] R0ncoToke: more like good morning ;-) [20:20] philf, I am now using virtual box to run windows and video chat in it. :( [20:20] VCoolio: have changed it to #000000 ... will find out after a log out / log in :-) [20:20] lesshaste: gdebi is the one usually used when installing a package graphically outside of Synaptic [20:20] dakarn: ok, I think you can reinstall compiz if you want.. but running on metacity isn't bad either [20:21] R0ncoToke: can you send files? I can with no issues...maybe as ikonia says, incompatible.. [20:21] Any ways to successfully work out video and voice chat for in pidgin ? [20:21] what is Ubuntu? [20:21] OttifantSir: gdebi-gtk or it won't have a gui? [20:21] slart: i believe all this happened because his laptop is ~10 years old and he's trying to enable all the effects on compiz. so i think i'm going to stay like this [20:21] Duditz: a linux distribution [20:21] Duditz: http://www.ubuntu.com [20:21] !ubuntu | Duditz [20:21] Duditz: Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com [20:22] dakarn: sounds like a wise decision =) [20:22] philf, It sure is incompatible but we got to find a way to do it. [20:22] VCoolio: thanks again !! [20:22] R0ncoToke: msn is a closed protocol, so there are regular compatability breaks [20:22] firestorm: was that it? [20:23] (j kruzi [20:23] Duditz: they say windows is better, but i still like it :-X [20:23] ikonia, I cant do it in yahoo as well as google. [20:23] (sorry poor english) I am currently using Fedora ... but in the lastest version the ATI driver not works ... in the lastest version of ubuntu ATI driver works? [20:23] lesshaste, VCoolio: Apparently, the command is as you say: gdebi-gtk [20:23] lesshaste: setting that pref in firefox will make apturl work, but to get flvstreamer you will have to either look for and add a PPA repository (search for one at launchpad.net) or download a .deb for your ubuntu version at http://www.very-clever.com/download/nongnu/flvstreamer/linux/ [20:23] R0ncoToke: yahoo is also a closed protocol, and the same applies [20:23] R0ncoToke: not sure about google, what application are you using to see video in google [20:23] eoeas Duditz it depends on the user and what programs they want to run which operating system is better for them [20:24] Duditz: that's odd you apparantly use Fedora, but didn't know what Ubuntu was [20:24] sebsebseb: true, shoudn't be confused with religion :-D [20:24] ikonia: so there is no possible solution to this? [20:24] Hmm, my mouse and keyboard has suddenly stopped working randomly as of lately [20:24] Now I can not use the left mouse button anymore [20:24] Can anyone walk me through installing a driver for a webcam? [20:24] I am say ... what's is signified of 'Ubuntu' [20:24] A few seconds ago I had no control over the keyboard neither [20:24] philf: didn't say that [20:24] word Ubuntu [20:24] Duditz: read the webpages given to you [20:24] ikonia, How come then Empathy says " Empathy is an instant-messaging(chat) program which supports text, voice, video, file transfers, and inter-application communication(tubes) over many different protocols(AIM, MSN, Google/Jabber, Facebook, SIP, yahoo, etc). " [20:25] but my english is very poor LoL ... I am speak great only portuguese [20:25] Duditz: ok what's your language? [20:25] portuguese [20:25] Duditz: Ubuntu is sometimes understood to mean "Humanity towards humanity" [20:25] Brazil [20:25] R0ncoToke: it supports that functionality - not with every protocol though [20:25] ikonia: sorry no disrespect there, thought that was what you meant [20:25] !br | Duditz [20:25] Duditz: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [20:25] msg nrv|v|lucy-lu xdcc send #4 [20:25] ikonia, I tried everything, nothing works out. === nix is now known as Guest31567 [20:25] R0ncoToke: how would it support video chat with facebook for example [20:25] great! I am join to -BR .. thanks [20:25] philf: not at all, no offesne taken [20:26] Duditz: np [20:26] philf: I've seen amsn for example work with msn video - but then fail 2 days later due to the protocol changes from microsoft [20:26] I'm having some trouble with the onboard video on my VIA chipset. [20:26] Slart: i don't use gnome -- is there a startup script to load metacity? [20:26] ikonia, :D [20:26] I can't mount NFS-shares. I followed this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo and every other time I have had to do it, it's worked immediately. From my laptop(wifi) I get this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/221741/ when I run rpcinfo -p , but on wired media-PC it hangs. I am connected to a SAMBA-share on the server, and can watch lag-free AVI-files, but no answer from the command [20:26] While I do get output, it won't detect my LCD monitor and everything looks all flicker-y. [20:26] philf: I'm only offering one possible explination for the problem, it's certainly not fact that this is the problem at the moment, but I'd put a bet on it that it is [20:27] dakarn: not sure how it works on other desktop enviroments.. sorry [20:27] spasticteapot2, Which version of Ubuntu ? [20:27] There went parts of my keyboard [20:27] What is going on [20:27] slart: everyone should use openbox :( [20:27] 9.04. [20:27] spasticteapot2, The same problem persist for me, i use jaunty along with a VIA chipset. [20:27] ikonia: well, that leaves me hope at least, there are a few issues that will have to be solved before i consider making ubuntu my only OS...( I do like it better than windows..) and if any one of those issues can't be ever solved. that would put a damper in my plan....thanks for the insight though! [20:28] @#$%@#$% [20:28] spasticteapot2: what's all that about ? [20:28] I tried an AGP card - an Nvidia Nforce2 Ultra. [20:28] spasticteapot2, No way rather than to nuke the install and go back over to 8.10 [20:28] Eh, figured. [20:28] when you do a "adduser foobar" and it does all the usual manouvers, is there a reversal command? kinda like "rmuser" and it does away all that adduser did? [20:29] philf: to be %100 honest, it's a problem that's not going to change unless you use open protocols, I know that doesn't help you, but it is a current limitation [20:29] hi [20:29] spasticteapot2, Nvidia cards work out fine, all you have to do is install the drivers [20:29] linduxed: deluser, possibly with -m, iirc. Read the manpage first. [20:29] linduxed: err, sorry, userdel [20:30] Is Openbox very ligt? [20:30] LordMetroid: it is [20:30] ikonia: ok, well that is not as important an issue, could be overlooked...it's just msn having other issues that may be resolved in the future, in the mean time, having a BLAST learning about linux and using commands! [20:30] LordMetroid, Fairly light [20:30] More so than the Xfce? [20:30] philf: good for you [20:30] LordMetroid: there are lighter, but i dont know how far you want to go [20:30] Running on Atom [20:30] LordMetroid: its lighter afaik than xfce [20:31] Can Gnome run comfortably on an Atom? [20:31] LordMetroid: comfortably... hmmm... [20:31] LordMetroid: Yeah. :) [20:31] LordMetroid: havent tried, but dont expect blazing speeds... [20:31] LordMetroid, Depends on your definition of comfort ;) [20:31] hehe [20:32] I suppose not having to wait liiike foreeeever [20:32] Works fine for me. [20:32] what is a good hardware compatibly site i can search ? XFX PVT86SWAQ GeForce 8400 is what i'm wondering about [20:32] LordMetroid, I think it works fine. [20:32] What do you use? [20:33] You think there is a major difference between running gnome on an N230 vs N330? [20:35] LordMetroid: I would suspect so. If I have understood correctly, N230 and N330 is the same clock-speed (GHz), but N330 is a dual-core? That would mean it should, in theory, run at least twice as fast. [20:35] <3 ubuntu [20:35] Indeed [20:35] any decent freenode conversational channels? :/ [20:35] Anyone got any experience in running Ubuntu with gnome on the N230 or N330? [20:36] does gnash support webcam capture for flash player sites requesting webcam connection? [20:36] GeorgeAScott: probably not [20:37] hi there [20:37] I don't know what I did, but I am not getting notified any longer about updates. There used to be a symbol in the top panel of Gnome. How can I get that back? [20:37] sebsebseb, it was worth a shot... flashcam is giving me sucha headache with it's "unsupported format" message [20:37] what symbol ? === dayo_ is now known as dayo [20:38] . [20:38] right click in system->admin->update mgr->add launcher to panel [20:39] if thats what u were talkin bout [20:39] but it isnt there by default anyways [20:39] GeorgeAScott: Adobe Flash for Linux closed source, but at the moment the best for Flash [20:39] i am getting that "Checking for Xgl: not present." error when trying to run compiz. how do i fix that? [20:40] diddy, which version have you got? [20:40] mrpiracy: have u googled it [20:40] sebsebseb: i've got the latest flash from adobe, but without flashcam, flash sites don't find the camera, and with flashcam it only finds the input not the output, [20:40] I am on 9.04/Gnome. [20:40] yes, it tells me to go to /usr/bin/compiz and add fglrx to it, but it's already there [20:41] hold.. [20:41] nodnarb: yes, it tells me to go to /usr/bin/compiz and add fglrx to it, but it's already there [20:41] GeorgeAScott: what's Flash cam? [20:41] dunno then diddy [20:41] should be automatic [20:42] ikonia, I just tried both the command line and gui repair methods from the page you linked and neither worked.. I'm still getting error 15 [20:42] nodnarb: in fact, i am a bit confused here. compiz was working fine, but when i added my KVM device i had to reconfigure my xorg.conf. i am trying to fine tune it again. [20:42] what kinda vid card u got [20:43] nodnarb: There is no such option "add launcher to panel" [20:43] and compiz is a file, not directory [20:43] nodnarb: it's geforce 8600 gt [20:43] How do I edit a cursor theme? [20:43] mrpiracy: Did you try !compiz? [20:43] !compiz | mrpiracy [20:43] mrpiracy: Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz [20:43] mrpiracy: Not sure if that is relevant after 9.04 or if it's a stale factoid. [20:43] diddy: you should be able to right click anything from menu and add to panel [20:44] how do i find out what driver my wlan0 is using? [20:44] Veratyr9: lshw -C Network [20:44] ikonia, about the only idea I have left is to physically swap the first two drives, so I can have a blank MBR to try [20:44] erUSUL: thx [20:44] BlueEagle: compiz was working 10 mins ago before i added my KVM device, i think it's something with my xorg.conf. i had to set it in a way i had my resolution back [20:44] Veratyr9: check the info about wlan0 [20:44] nodnarb: Yes of course but there is no update applet or anything similar. [20:44] hey, i'll brb. gotta throw stuff in the laundry [20:44] nodnarb: What exactly is it called? Could you check, please? [20:44] MrPiracy, KVm do create problems with xorg.conf , cause they pass standard settings at boot rather than the "proper ones" so you need to hack that, but I don't use compiz so nto sure this would bear on it [20:44] damnit damnit :O [20:45] how can I find an email address from a ip address? [20:45] how do you set window decorator in gnome? [20:45] dakarn: watch the language [20:45] sinbox, nodnarb, BlueEagle: would u guys have a look at my xorg.conf file to see what could be wrong? [20:45] berriop: you can't [20:46] pastebin it MrPiracy [20:46] hi [20:46] berriop: you can not. there is not a map between email adresses and ip's. a single ip of a mail server can host thousans of mail addresses [20:46] sebsebseb: https://sourceforge.net/projects/flashcam/ [20:46] happy? [20:46] Anyone know of a good app to get album artwork ? [20:46] sinbox, nodnarb, BlueEagle: http://pastebin.org/3078 [20:46] ok thanks, and from a domain name?? [20:47] epqr, musicbrainz ? [20:47] epqr: gnome-look.org iirc [20:47] GeorgeAScott: heh [20:47] they usually are really system specific though, MrPiracy , and the latest ones just espect to get all the signals from your peripherals which is troublesome as you have to "force" it [20:47] GeorgeAScott: so you want your web cam to work with this Flash thing? [20:47] rodd thanks, i'll check it out [20:47] I don't know what I did, but I am not getting notified any longer about updates. There used to be a symbol in the top panel of Gnome. How can I get that back? Ubuntu 9.04/Gnome. [20:47] sinbox: yes, i noticed that [20:47] MT-, erusul: ok thanks, and from a domain name?? [20:47] the Ubuntu Ultimate is a official realease of Ubuntu? [20:47] sebsebseb: yes, [20:48] Duditz: no [20:48] diddy: check the options in update manager (button bottom left) [20:48] berriop: you can just use dig on the domain - but then again - a single domain could be routed through many servers [20:48] thanks [20:48] sinbox: as u can see, i had to add a few commands like "AddARGBGLXVisuals" and "Xinerama" ... i dont even know what they are for, i just copied from a website and it worked with my KVM [20:48] GeorgeAScott: if you hae enough RAM you can probably virtual machine Windows inside Ubuntu for it [20:48] Duditz: np [20:48] berriop: gmail.com (a domain name) hosts handreds of thousans of email addresses [20:48] VCoolio: There is only a settings button. But there is no option to display updates in panel. [20:49] sebsebseb: i want nothing to do with windows... and no, not enough ram anyways. [20:49] diddy: or is your complete notification area gone from the panel? do you have other tray icons? [20:49] GeorgeAScott: how much? [20:49] mrpiracy: is http://www.mail-archive.com/kvm@vger.kernel.org/msg03374.html related? [20:49] Probably won't be able to help you with tha MrPiracy my hardware is too old to run compiz or any such thing on it but will take a look anyways [20:49] VCoolio. I have tons of icons there. [20:49] diddy: ok, just narrowing it down [20:50] sinbox: thx [20:50] Hello, I'm quite new to Linux. Windows is my bread and butter. I think I have a driver for my webcam but it is a .gz file. Can anyone help me install it please? [20:50] VCoolio: ? [20:50] sebsebseb: 512rdram [20:50] diddy: ? [20:50] GeorgeAScott: I think you can do XP with that [20:50] quiit [20:50] sbradley33: .gz is a gzip file. uncompress it with gunzip [20:50] sebsebseb: i don't want to do xp [20:51] GeorgeAScott: why not? [20:51] sbradley33: Which webcam (or chipset) are you using? The reason I ask is that most drivers are already availible as kernel modules. You just need to activate them. [20:51] BlueEagle: nope, not related ... i am not trying to VM or i dont have mouse issues [20:51] diddy: under the updates tab in settings, do you have it set to daily? [20:51] erusul: its not gmail.com, its dgt.es that will host just around 20 addreses [20:51] VCoolio: Yes. [20:52] mrpiracy: Then I do not know. Might be an ATi issue. I've not seen that problem with nVidia. [20:52] BlueEagle: mine is nvidia [20:52] BlueEagle: what the heck is XGL anyway? [20:52] sebsebseb: with the exception of a laptop running 2000pro for school stuff, and my winmo phone, i am windows free and it seems that turning to windows to get something to work instead of fixing the problem is a stupid thing to do [20:52] notmyname: Thank you, what should I be looking for for the installer? [20:53] GeorgeAScott: depends what your issue is, anyway you might get some luck if you ask about it in ##linux [20:53] BlueEagle: I have the Quickcam Messanger from Logitech [20:53] !es | berriop [20:53] berriop: 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. [20:53] Hi [20:53] if i do SKIP_CHECKS=yes compiz it works [20:53] what's the difference between a file excuted with ./ and a file excuted just by typing the name? [20:53] diddy: in startup-applications, do you have update-nofifier set to start at startup? if not use this command: update-notifier --startup-delay=60 [20:53] mrpiracy: GLX is 3d accelleration and fglrx is ATis implimentation of GLX. [20:53] hi, is there a private repository which provides a newer GDB than whats provided by default jaunty? [20:54] MrPiracy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xgl [20:54] I only have 1 box that only I use which runs windows. And that's because I don't know how to overclock a Radeon 9200 SE on linux, and ubuntu 9.04 is using the free drivers, which seem to suck. [20:54] sbradley33: that depends. there is no standard way, but there are some common ones [20:54] fusion44: no [20:54] BlueEagle: so why do i need fglrx if i have nvidia? [20:54] mrpiracy: Typically you do not. [20:54] sbradley33: I'm assuming that you have a folder after you uncompress it? [20:54] BlueEagle: and why was it working and now it's not? [20:54] hello [20:54] notmyname: yes I do [20:54] VCoolio: Yes it is there. [20:54] can you tell me how can I associate an extention to a bash file please? [20:54] mrpiracy: It was working because you hadn't done what you did and now it's not working because you did what you did. [20:55] notmyname: I'm going throught the 'ReadMe' now [20:55] sbradley33: and in that folder, do you have a .deb file? a setup.py file? a configure script and a Makefile? [20:55] mrpiracy: (read as: because you broke it) :D [20:55] diddy: then I'm lost [20:55] sbradley33: the README is a great start :-) [20:55] Hi everyone. I am going soon to teach computer programmation in Africa. They do not have a network connexion. Is it possible to install a *complete* ubuntu distribution without network ? On ubuntu.com I only find the web age that propose to download a cd iso image, which I suppose do not contain a complete distribution: the packages that are not in the cd are downloaded over the network. [20:55] ubottu: ubottu what r u talkin bout, i never talk on spanish [20:55] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [20:55] BlueEagle: but i did what i did because i needed to do what i did and i dont want to undo what i did, i just want to do something else to fix what i did before [20:55] VCoolio: Me, too. :) [20:55] diddy: what if you run the command in terminal? does it say anything useful? does it work maybe? [20:56] Are there any graphical versions of GRUB, or a graphical bootloader that would be an alternative to grub? ..... and while im ad it, since grub works by UUIDs, how do I find them since no doubt they will change after I am done repartitioning my drive. [20:56] currently my laptop hdd quadboots and has 7 partitions, going to reduce them to 4 and tripleboot [20:56] Guest59159: you will need access to an internet connection to get updates, but there are DVD images with close to full package available repositories [20:56] notmyname: I do have a Makefile [20:56] guest59159: You can download all packages and burn them to a second disk or a DVD and install it offline. [20:56] Guest59159: keep in mind that a repo is approx 60gig in total [20:56] VCoolio, it says update-notifier already running. [20:56] join #ubuntu-pl [20:56] Well the repo is all the package ther is [20:56] diddy: ok; try to add notification area to bottom panel [20:56] sbradley33: then the readme probably says do something like "./configure" then "make" then "sudo make install". am I right? [20:57] MrPiracy, you might want to boot without the KVM, get the details of what xorg. settings are and then compare to the one you put in to use with your KVM and take it from there, sorry can't be much help on this. [20:57] he'll just have to get the ones he needs [20:57] I get "0x883f748]Unsupported audio codec " when playing flash [20:57] is there a more up to day mplayer? [20:57] ikonia, BlueEagle : where can I download all the packages or DVD images ? [20:57] Hey guys [20:57] VCoolio: I did, so I am gonna wait until the next update comes and see what happens. [20:57] Ummmm, can you guys even see me? Or do I need ot register my nick before you can see my typing [20:57] lesshaste: is the current one missing something? [20:57] I have a Problem with my Garrysmod server [20:57] what is Xinerama and AIGLX? [20:57] Guest59159: the DVD images are available as torrents, but a repo is 60GB - please keep that in mind. I suggest you speak to your network administrator's in Africa [20:57] we can see you Cyber_Akuma [20:57] If im startin the server i get "ALSA lib seq_hw.c:457:(snd_seq_hw_open) open /dev/snd/seq failed: No such file or directory [20:57] fixme:keyboard:X11DRV_LoadKeyboardLayout L"00000409", 0000: stub! [20:58] ok [20:58] diddy: ok, sorry I couldn't help much [20:58] I guess you are busy helping others for now, have several things i want to do with ubuntu [20:58] notmyname: Yeah, but all it says is to run 'make install' and then to load the usb modules [20:58] is it even possible to overclock ATI cards in ubuntu? [20:58] Scunizi, seems from the above [20:59] notmyname: I tried to run make install but the system tells me 'make: *** No rule to make target 'install'. Stop. [20:59] I have a Problem with my Garrysmod server. When i start it I get [20:59] ALSA lib seq_hw.c:457:(snd_seq_hw_open) open /dev/snd/seq failed: No such file or directory [20:59] fixme:keyboard:X11DRV_LoadKeyboardLayout L"00000409", 0000: stub! [20:59] sbradley33: is there a Makefile in that folder? [20:59] VCoolio: Thx anway!! [20:59] sbradley33, have you tried just make? [21:00] AAARGH! -ok, im at the end of my tether trying to make this monitor work. Anyone fancy giving me a hand with nvidia / X0rg? [21:00] notmyname: OH, duh, I have to be in the folder...*V8* [21:00] mattgyver, sbradley33 make-install makes it uninstalable though unlike [21:00] toker, whats your question? [21:00] lesshaste: aahh.. did you install the "ubuntu-restricted-extras" ?? [21:01] sbradley33: http://www.kuhrti.de/index.php/article/logitech-quickcam-messenger-on-ubuntu-9-04/ <= this may be exactly what you need. [21:01] using the nvidia drivers, if i use nvidia-auto-select for resolution (or 1280x1024 as is this monitors native) then i get a black screen with maybe two lines of pixels at the top displaying the desktop [21:01] lesshaste: also .. are you trying to play a dvd? [21:01] How do I add something to the applications menu? [21:01] commercial? [21:01] notmyname: I did the sudo -i command to get root, but I'm not sure how to find which folder to go into === sgallinger is now known as Driver [21:01] ikonia, thanks: I an going to search for this torrent. I think I will find a hard drive to put the repo and bring it ti africa [21:01] delicowa, so I'm going to guess that means though it is possibly, there's nothing currently implemented to do it? [21:01] nodnarb: sorry -replied above [21:01] uhhh. hello? [21:01] which nvidia drive3rs u using? 177, 180,? [21:02] So, can someone help me with my gmod server? [21:02] nodnarb: 180 now. [21:02] sbradley33: the make command will look for a Makefile in the current directory. therefore you will need to be in the unzipped directory [21:02] Scunizi, no.. the radio [21:02] Scunizi, seems to be a jaunty problem [21:02] notmyname: Yup, I just don't know how to get ther from root [21:02] from http://linuxcentre.net/get_iplayer-gets-live-bbc-iplayer-stream-support/ [21:03] nodnarb: version 96 gets the resolution correct, but other things are horribly broken. its an onboard card too. [21:03] lesshaste: ok.. that codec that's trying to play.. is it a "real-player" codec? [21:03] sbradley33: cd path/to/foler/or/file [21:03] yeah, i had problems using backtrack 4 (based on ubuntu 8.10) but had no problems using the actual ubuntu [21:03] can someone help me with my gmod server? [21:04] nodnarb: well, this is standard ubuntu. [21:04] lesshaste: from that link it looks like a propiatory codec [21:04] Hey what audio player do you guys use? I'm using rhythmbox right now. is there anything faster? [21:04] Scunizi, it works in ffplay and mplayer on other distros it seems [21:04] i had to remove the original xorg.conf file and replace it wih one of the other ones, like xorg.conf4 or some shit [21:04] switch10_: audacious [21:04] notmyname: thank you, and I do have to be logged in as sudo -i, correct? [21:05] hang on, i'll try to see what the difference was that made it work [21:05] sbradley33: no, you can just prefix the command you are running with sudo [21:05] notmyname: ah [21:05] MidnighToker: thnks I have it on my ubuntu studio install havent tried it yet though. [21:05] Scunizi, http://pastebin.ca/1500398 has the output of ffplay [21:05] lesshaste: I don't run jaunty so I'm not overly familure with it's audio issues.. however there have been many since the inclusion of pulseaudio.. the site seems to mention how to get it running. [21:06] Scunizi, ok .. it's a codec issue but thanks for your help in any case [21:06] switch10_: its basically winamp / XMMS [21:06] hmm thats odd [21:06] MidnighToker: is there ipod support? [21:06] switch10_: dont think so [21:06] backtrack 4 has several "extra" xorg.conf files [21:06] ubuntu 9 doesnt [21:07] ill check it out === iwaterball is now known as ifireball [21:07] toker, i know you have the nvidia drivers installed, but have you also changed your actual monitor? [21:08] nodnarb: tried it with a couple. works with one not the two in the house. i think its interlacing. EDID seems to tell linux to use interlacing but the monitor doesn't actually support it [21:08] hi all, is anyone here familiar with using qemu on ubuntu? I use it on Windows but I'm having problems with Ubuntu [21:08] hmm [21:09] Can someone help me, to set up a garrysmod server? [21:09] I get some Errors [21:10] kesiode: I have used it before, had to do something with commands for it or something, it can be fun when you get it working, but Virtualbox is rather good :) [21:10] is interlacing turned on in the xorg.conf file? [21:10] can you help me to associate an extension to a bash file please? [21:10] what is in non-free-codecs that is not in w32codecs? [21:11] nodnarb: not obviously, but xorg.0.log seems to suggest it is [21:11] kesiode: in fact I Googled'd before and found out how to use qemu [21:11] How do I add something to the applications menu? [21:11] !qemu [21:11] qemu is an emulator you can use to run another operating system - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsXPUnderQemuHowTo [21:11] lguenhael: It is not necessary but bash scripts sometimes have the extension .sh [21:11] sebsebseb, when I run it under windows I'm prompted to select linux and then it boots.. Ubuntu version doesn't seem to have a gui === erle64- is now known as erle- [21:12] hmm [21:12] kesiode: well Virtualbox has a rather nice GUI :) [21:12] ScottG: Sys>Prefs>Main Menu [21:12] kesiode: that's also what most Ubuntu users do their vm's in, as far as I know [21:12] hey [21:12] soreau, I would like to lunch *.gibi files with a particular bash file "gibibash" [21:12] you see? [21:12] kesiode: that do them [21:12] i can't install ubuntu [21:13] Hi all is there a way to control via Ubuntu the function of the Wifi on/off "soft-button" on the laptop? [21:13] "DRDY DRQ" [21:13] sebsebseb, yeah it's for a class and the guy said to use qemu... I have a bunch of .bin files but no .img files so I don't know what I am supposed to load. [21:13] lguenhael: It would be up to your file browser to handle such associations [21:13] lorenzosu: on laptops with proper kernel support they *should* do the right thing out of the box [21:13] evening all [21:13] it runs the opening screen and all [21:13] lorenzosu: I haven't looked into how much hassle it is to remap them to something else. [21:14] but when i choose "install" it runs a black screen [21:14] Err0r: On what machine? Laptop or desktop or Mac? Which version of Ubuntu? Desktop or Server? 8.04, 8.10, 9.04? How far do you get? [21:14] but how to do it? [21:14] desktop [21:14] 9.04? [21:14] it runs the opening screen and all [21:14] but when i choose "install" it runs a black screen [21:14] full of "errors" or something [21:14] mzz: Unfortunatelly hp laptops have a (hardware) faulty wifi button which means if it fails you're left with no connection [21:15] soreau: in case you care: turns out /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume has the uuid of the swap partition [21:15] Err0r: If you continue to use Enter as punctuation, the floodbots will kick you [21:15] what? [21:15] Guys, Please help me with my gmod server. :( [21:15] i answered for your questions [21:15] lorenzosu: there's a bunch of documentation on this in the kernel docs tree (the magic word is "rfkill"). Some of them are actually hardwired at the hardware level, so the kernel can't really fix those if they break. [21:16] do you [21:16] mzz: Was that random or something you finally figured out? [21:16] mzz: That's what I feared. [21:16] do you know what should i do? [21:16] Error323: why can't you install Ubuntu? [21:16] Err0r: Have you tried to check the CD for defects on the bootup menu? Yes, you answered them, but keep them contained to ONE answer, not ten. That's not appreciated. [21:16] sebsebseb, I think I've got it.. [21:17] soreau: semirandom, iirc you asked me to tell you if I ever got it figured out when I was messing with resume a loooong time (well, a few days) ago [21:17] hmm i tried that "check for defects" and it is doing the same [21:17] hmm, i don't know. [21:17] Err0r: did you md5sum the ISO? [21:17] yes [21:17] mzz: Ah yes, now I remember :) [21:18] does anyone do much computer recycling [21:18] Err0r: burning the CD slower can help [21:18] is GTK+ linux's version of windows GDI+?

What do they say? [21:18] basic drawing framework for windows [21:18] everything is ok [21:18] Err0r: Check the cd for defects [21:18] i checked [21:18] what is cairo? [21:18] [21:18] !install | Err0r << this just look soooo good [21:19] i did a md5 [21:19] ok [21:19] enigma415: for arbitrary drawing you probably want cairo. gtk uses that to draw buttons, menus, treeviews and so on. [21:19] !cairo [21:19] Sorry, I don't know anything about cairo [21:19] sinbox: heh [21:19] enigma415: cairographics.org, it has a tutorial and the like [21:19] sinbox: oh I notice your from the same timezone :D [21:19] so what is the root drawing device used in linux (ubuntu 9.04)? [21:19] Hi [21:20] enigma415: What are you trying to do ultimately? [21:20] Error323: ok so the CD is ok you say, but then you try and install and it won't partition? [21:20] enigma415: err, I'm pretty sure gdi+ isn't the "root drawing device" on windows [21:20] BSt then sebsebseb ;-) [21:20] figure out how to install gtk 2.8 XD, and all the functions that come with gtk [21:20] sinbox: yep [21:20] ur right [21:20] I'm having trouble connecting to an encrypted usb device on 9.04. It works fine on 8.04. Is this a known issue? [21:21] enigma415: if you're running a regular desktop ubuntu you already have gtk+ (much newer than 2.8), although not its development headers. [21:21] it is not the 'root' drawing device [21:21] enigma415: what are you actually trying to do? [21:21] did anyone try to install the new psb-driver from the ubuntu-mobile launchpad repo?? [21:21] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GraphicalInstall [21:21] here it is [21:21] it is the abstaction of the root, that C programmer can utilize with more ease === Sim__ is now known as Maxsim [21:21] after level 3 [21:21] I have another porblem everytime I install something I get a nasty error about linux-image-2.6.28-13-generic [21:21] ! enter | Err0r [21:21] after level 3 it stuck [21:21] Err0r: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!

What are you actually trying to do? What things are you clicking or running? What should happen, and what does actually happen? [21:22] and i checked the packages installed; there are some random python-gtk* packages, but none installed [21:22] sorry i'm on a laptop [21:22] ok... let me clarify [21:22] Trijntje: what is your problem? [21:23] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GraphicalInstall, here it is - between level 3 and 4. There is the stucking. [21:23] Err0r: So the live cd does not load correctly?

I just updated my nvidia graphics card to 96.43.13 from 96.43.10 and it goes through and I restart my X but it comes up with an error, saying it can't load the nvidia Kernel Module [21:24] padi999: that's normally a bios option [21:24] Everytime I install something I get a nasty error about linux-image-2.6.28-13-generic [21:25] ikonia: thank you very much [21:25] ikonia: that's all I need to know :) [21:25] Hi!Does anyone know how to save the subtitles I download in Totem? [21:25] dport: The driver didn't install correctly, or failed to install [21:25] Trijntje: is the device correct (checked with dmesg)? Or should you probably use /dev/sdf1? [21:25] soreau, i do that. my keyboard is pushes sometimes enter instead of backspace... [21:25] How can I revert back to 96.43.10?

And on my 8.04 laptop it works with just /dev/sdf. [21:26] hmm [21:26] ok... disregard all my last questions. I only really have one. How do i install gtk2.8? I managed to add the folder 'buildgtk' in the root dir [21:27] Trijntje: look at the permissions [21:27] i added the files into the folder [21:27] lillis: Tuxpaint is interesting and really for kids, also there are some other apps you can find in the repo [21:27] ikonia: which permissions do you mean? [21:27] and now i need to execute a command, "../configure --with-gtk" [21:27] Trijntje: on the device file, always worth checking [21:27] but the file or dir does not exist. [21:27] enigma415: gtk is already installed by default. If you would like to compile source code, install the gtk development packages often suffixed with -dev [21:28] ok... listen, the CD is ok i did md5 check and it's ok, now it won't load the 4th level... it will load a black screen with a lot of "errors" or something like that. [21:28] Trijntje: hmm, I use dm-crypt a lot with usb-drives. Never faced such an issue. Thinking... [21:28] soreau: Whats the name of the program that launches when you click on the main menu? [21:28] can someone send me an invitation to demonoid [21:28] rTk_cool: please don't ask in here [21:28] Anyone knows how to filter posts using planetplanet feed aggregator? [21:28] rTk_cool: that is not appropriate for this channel [21:28] ikonia: I don't know where or how i should check that, can you show me a command? [21:28] Err0r: Sounds like the CD is failing to load on your hardware. Try the alternate installation method [21:29] ScottG: alacarte [21:29] Trijntje: ls -la against the device [21:29] if that is so, it should be no problem to install wxWidgets then for development (C/C++)> === nodnarb is now known as scollinsworth [21:29] <^cheeky> hi, i ubunutu server 8.10 on an old machine connected to my single monitor and i was wondering if i can control my server via vnc and the server have no gui ? [21:29] what is an alternate installatin? [21:29] soreau: Ok thanks (I'm really on gentoo) [21:30] ^cheeky, yes [21:30] enigma415: again, you already have gtk, but probably not the development headers. You may be looking for libgtk2.0-dev, but for (I think) the 4th time: what are you actually trying to do? [21:30] regardless in gtk is installed or not... how do i install that app? (for later reference for other installations) [21:30] Err0r: I had problems with an earlier release of Ubuntu and a true server (not a desktop running as server), are you sure you are trying to install on a desktop and not a server? I got errors all the way when I did that, and it started in the same place. [21:30] ^cheeky, do you have ubuntu-desktop installed on the server? [21:30] soreau, i tell u that the CD is running but not completely! the cd is ok i had checked that! [21:30] ikonia: brw-rw---- 1 root disk. But i'm using sudo so it should still work even if it says root [21:30] enigma415: if what you are actually trying to do is "develop a neat app using wxWidgets" then you should install wxWidgets (and its development headers) using apt-get [21:31] enigma415: (for example you may be looking for libwxgtk2.8-dev then) [21:31] enigma415: Yes, that would be libwxgtk2.8-dev package [21:31] Trijntje: can you do a "sudo fdisk -l $device_file" [21:31] my intention is to be able to use Code::Blocks + wxWidgets for GUI programming. wxWidgets depends on gtk2.+. [21:31] OttifantSir i checked the md5!!! it's the desktop installation! [21:31] <^cheeky> mattgyver, no ubuntu server 8.10 [21:31] How can I set the default program to open PDFs? [21:31] enigma415: yep, but apt knows about that dependency, and wx is available through apt. [21:31] ok thank you... ill check it out in the packages area [21:31] Trijntje: what about sudo cryptsetup status /dev/sdf1? [21:31] I have a directory in /home/ labeled "file:".. in there is Home//Desktop .. weird.. not sure how it got there.. can I delete it without adverse effects? [21:31] !info codeblocks | enigma415 [21:32] heinz1: Yesterday it mounted once using this exact method, but i could not find a pattern. [21:32] enigma415: in fact apt also knows about codeblocks. [21:32] Err0r: It is failing to start X at the very least. When you load it next time, select the alternate installation method and try that [21:32] enigma415: codeblocks (source: codeblocks): Code::Blocks integrated development environment (IDE).

But if you install SSH you can remote into the console [21:32] enigma415: (so try apt-get install codeblocks, possibly) [21:32] Err0r: I don't mean you're tryin to install the server-edition on a desktop. I mean, are you trying to install the desktop-edition on a server-machine? They have different hardware. [21:32] enigma415: just « sudo aptitude install codeblocks » [21:32] soreau, i don't see any alternate... [21:32] ok ill give it a shot [21:33] anyone: can i use diff to find all things listed in one file but not another, where there isn't order in either of the files, just to find whats contained in one file but not another [21:33] OttifantSir, no, it's a PC lol [21:33] heinz1: command failed, Device not found. luksDump works though, not sure what that means [21:33] fission6: sort the files first [21:33] thanks im installing codeblocks right now [21:33] ok let me review [21:33] fission6: perhaps do "cat file1 file2 | sort | uniq -u [21:33] Err0r: It's labeled Install Ubuntu [21:33] fission6: (although I doubt that's the sanest way to do it, it should work) [21:33] hmm cool ill review [21:34] next up: wxWidgets... same method? "sudo aptitude install wxwidgets"? [21:34] soreau, where? [21:34] enigma415: codeblocks pulls in wxwidgets, although not its development headers.

[21:35] ikonia: sudo fdisk -l gives: Disk /dev/sdf doesn't contain a valid partition table [21:35] ayman: Not if you don't ask your question [21:35] soreau, yeah i saw that "safe graphics mode" [21:35] Evelina: regex is a "feature" of many commands and programs [21:35] Trijntje: at least it can access the device, but the fact that it doesn't have a partition table suggests there is no data on that disk [21:35] i need the devel headers [21:35] what would be a good IDE for codeblocks? (or does it have its own GUI?) [21:35] enigma415: afaik it *is* an IDE [21:35] Evelina: grep uses regex; perl. awk; sed and many others [21:36] soreau? [21:36] kk thanks again [21:36] ikonia: i know for a fact that there is data on that disk, because i can mount it on my 8.04 laptop just fine [21:36] Everytime I install something I get a nasty error about linux-image-2.6.28-13-generic [21:36] Evelina: http://lmgtfy.org?q=regular+expressions [21:36] ikonia: encrypted data that is [21:36] Trijntje: then why would it not have a valid partition table ? [21:36] Evelina: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression [21:36] lorenzosu: define "a nasty error" [21:36] and im sorry about my noobish questions.. im new to linux :P [21:36] my qutison is (when i open pidgin and need to inter to room chat yahoo> pidgin sginout wht that [21:36] lorenzosu: It's helpful if you pastebin the error so all can see it [21:36] there are "normal" and 3 other options [21:37] Err0r: What are the three others? [21:37] enigma415: codeblocks *is* an IDE fior C++/wxwindows [21:37] hi help pleas [21:37] "safe graphics mode" and another 2 options [21:37] ikonia: i'm not sure, I thought because that is encrypted too? There are no partitions on it [21:38] Err0r: What are the two others? [21:38] "use driver update CD" and "OEM install(WTF)" [21:38] tipclappe: it's encypted ? then why are you trying to encypt it still ? [21:38] Err0r: it actaully has (WTF) in the phrase ? [21:38] Trijntje: There has to be at least one partition, even if it's encrypted [21:38] any help here please [21:38] no no lol ikonia [21:38] Err0r: OEM install is if you want to install and configure it, then finalize it for your 'customer' so it is as if they turned on the pc for the first time [21:38] :) [21:38] ayman: Is pidgin crashing? [21:39] Err0r: I'm not laughing, please don't make things up, and please control your language [21:39] mzz: soreau: Ok. http://paste.ubuntu.com/222195/ [21:39] ayman: i do not use pidgin with yahoo so i dunno sorry [21:39] I can't find the settings in the BIOS which makes it ignore that no screen or keyboard is attached. Where is that? [21:39] heinz1: depends on what kind of drive it is. I've used (and/or seen used) usb flash drives as "superfloppy" with the filesystem directly on the disk [21:39] heinz1, ikonia: Ill start up my laptop and see what i get there, a minute [21:39] and what i can do to fix it [21:39] mzz: soreau: Notice this happens any time I do some apt-get stuff [21:39] heinz1: (and you can do that with regular drives too, although that's not exactly common) [21:39] hmm not working, i need to have it so it takes and input file and searches an output file and finds which strings are in one file and not another [21:39] enigma415: As far as I have understood the concept, you're asking "newbie"-questions, not "n00b"-questions. A "n00b" is someone who claims to know everything before s/he has tried to ask a question of people more knowledgeable. [21:39] Where should i go for help on making a site? #php is apprently under a bot attack whilst theirs only me in #website [21:39] Help please! can anyone tell me when i use cable usb on ubuntu client,and why it doesnot work on Winxp guest? [21:39] so soreau, what should i do? [21:40] lorenzosu: And that output is from what command? [21:40] lorenzosu: is it correct about /usr/sbin/update-grub not existing? [21:40] Err0r: Well have you tried the very first option, try ubuntu without making any changes to your pc? [21:40] no... [21:40] yes [21:40] i never knew there were a difference lol! i always though noob, n00b, newb, newbie, etc, were all different ways of saying the same thing [21:41] i don't want to try it. i want to install it. : [21:41] mzz: yes [21:41] Err0r: Try that. If it succeeds, you will have a gui option to install [21:41] Where should i go for help on making a site? #php is apprently under a bot attack whilst theirs only me in #website [21:41] sounds like fat vs phat... XD [21:41] soreau: Any sudo apt-get install/remove [something] [21:41] Err0r: It is the same exact screen as would come up with Install Ubuntu [21:41] If / is root then what is /root ?? [21:41] Err0r: Except, in an X sesssion [21:41] lorenzosu: afaik the "grub" package is supposed to own that script, is that intentionally not installed? [21:42] Scunizi: That is your root users home folder [21:42] Scunizi: the home directory of the "root" user [21:42] soreau: mzz thanks.. [21:42] Scunizi: you can normally ignore that directory on ubuntu [21:42] Scunizi: Yes, you shouldn't need to do anything in there.. and should do anything in there ;) [21:42] ok so i have codeblocks + gtk+. can someone give me a link so i can start learning the language (the second time) and start programming? [21:42] mzz: No.. The only "hackish" thing I did was to modify the menu.lst file [21:42] Scunizi: shouldn't* [21:42] Scunizi: (because ubuntu doesn't usually use that account, so there shouldn't be anything interesting in there) [21:43] noooooooooooooo, it fails :( again the "ata3.01 status: DRDY DRQ" :( black screen [21:43] lorenzosu: I don't know where that script went, but consider reinstalling the "grub" package [21:43] mzz: Sorry, I'm not an expert on this. I'm used to partition drives before encrypting them. [21:43] heinz1, ikonia: sudo fdisk -l: /dev/sdf doesn't contain a valid partition table. But it mount fine on my laptop [21:43] i really need some help here before my dad starts screaming ... whenever i try to connect to the internet via wi-fi on my dad's computer ... it takes forever to connect, then when it finally does, it like stalls out ... [21:43] Err0r: Sounds like a hard drive communication error [21:43] right now i'm trying to update the security packages [21:43] mzz: soreau that's kinda what I figured.. I don't enable root on my box simply because I don't need to but nice to know what it is.... thanks. [21:43] mzz: How can I "reinstall" it? [21:43] Sinatra: something in dmesg ? or syslog ? [21:43] heinz1: I don't know about disk encryption, but I do know linux will let you use the drive without partitioning it at all. I don't know if you can put a partition table inside the encrypted drive, if you know what I mean. [21:44] nvm ill go google my question [21:44] Sinatra: Weak signal or faulty wifi drivers [21:44] soreau, it is not the serial hard drive that was on the computer when i bought it... [21:44] well he has a toshbia satealite as i do [21:44] enigma415: for codeblock you need to learn C++ [21:44] the signal is strong, i'm right up against my router [21:44] How can I set the default program to open PDFs? It's not in System>Preferences>Preferred applications [21:44] mzz: Don't know either, haven't tried that yet [21:44] ah, it's "Halt on ALL ERRORS" -> "Halt on ALL but keyboard" :) [21:44] lorenzosu: not sure, but it's probably something like "apt-get install grub --reinstall" [21:44] how do i check the syslog? [21:44] Err0r: What is it then? [21:45] lorenzosu: weird that you don't just have that script already though. It shouldn't just vanish, and iiuc it's just owned by jaunty's grub package here. [21:45] Sinatra: less /var/log/syslog [21:45] mzz: Turns out grub was not officially "installed" ???? [21:45] Sinatra: System>Adminstration>Log file viewer [21:45] Sinatra: dmesg [21:45] heh [21:45] or that [21:45] soreau well, i am in need of space... a new hard drive... but i don't want windows on it [21:45] lorenzosu: weird, I had it installed after a straightforward jaunty install. [21:45] i already understand the syntax of C++, i just need to understand the layout of the GTK functions and the linux way of operating [21:45] lorenzosu: situation might be different in karmic though, which use grub 2, iirc. [21:46] Mike_lifeguard: check your mime settings in mail cap ls -l /etc/m* [21:46] lorenzosu: I don't know if this is a wrong time to butt in, but perhaps sudo update-grup is what you need? [21:46] enigma415: gtk+ is a c library, not a c++ one. You should consider using gtkmm (or possibly wx) if you prefer c++ [21:46] mzz: Now I'm going through the install I remember it was installed during upgrades, I updated to 9.04 recently [21:46] How can I forcibly increase the fan speed of my Ubuntu box? It is getting way too warm for me. [21:46] hi [21:46] Err0r: That's fine but it needs to be installed correctly and ubuntu must have drivers for it. How new is the new hard drive? [21:46] i don't see anything out of the ordenary [21:46] OttifantSir: It turned out grub was *not* "officially" installed : [21:46] allllllllll [21:47] soreau i don't know. my father brought it from his work. [21:47] Sinatra: So both of the laptops have the same wifi hardware as in the output of 'lspci'? [21:47] Err0r: Hmm... have you already had it working before? [21:47] no [21:47] and where do i get wxGTK2.*? [21:48] Err0r: Then it is possible it is a bad drive [21:48] lorenzosu: Well, if you have it worked out, or someone else helping you, that's probably for the best, as I have never messed around with it. I got that command just the other day for something I did, and I don't even remember what it was now. [21:48] 'because i do prefer the OOP [21:48] Err0r: Ok, thanks. [21:48] YBH___3: OK, now how do I change that? [21:48] erUSUL: Ok, thanks. [21:48] Evelina: no problem [21:48] ! pm | Sinatra [21:48] Sinatra: 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. [21:48] Mike_lifeguard: Ok, thank you for the information. [21:48] hey when i type exit on Terminal Console , Terminal don't quit it look like sleep! how i can fix this ! thx [21:48] no! no way. if i try to install windows on it, it will be succeed! [21:48] ! who | Sinatra [21:48] Sinatra: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [21:48] mzz: (re)Installing grub seems to solve the problem. [21:48] "sudo aptitude install wxgtk"? [21:48] mzz thanks. [21:48] does ubuntu supports radeon 4850 ?? [21:48] Thanks all others to. [21:49] Jahithber, there are drivers from ati for linux - so yes [21:49] who can help me with this [21:49] jim@jim-laptop:~$ sudo mount /dev/sdb1 [21:49] mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1, [21:49] missing codepage or helper program, or other error [21:49] In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try [21:49] dmesg | tail or so [21:49] jimnkristy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:49] Trijntje: Weird. I wouldn't know why 8.04 does it and 9.04 does not? [21:49] enigma415: you already have wxgtk itself if you installed codeblocks. As mentioned earlier you want wxgtk2.8-dev for its devel headers [21:49] !info wxgtk2.8-dev [21:49] Package wxgtk2.8-dev does not exist in jaunty [21:49] enigma415: err, or not. Sec [21:49] Jahithber: The open radeon driver supports it, yes but not for 3D quite yet [21:49] because when im installing ati drivers under opensuse and pcbsd it freezes [21:49] I have a problem with the GMA500 (aka Poulsbo) graphics driver. The "ubuntu-mobile"-Team released a driver, but it doesn't work. Am I right here to get support? [21:49] Jahithber: It should. I run a 3450, and according to the documentation it's supported. [21:49] enigma415: ah, "apt-cache search wxgtk" says it's libwxgtk2.8-dev. Sorry about that. [21:49] soreau, no! no way. if i try to install windows on it, it will be succeed! [21:50] ok thanks i gonna try :) [21:50] mzz: I think it's libwxgtk2.8-dev [21:50] soreau: so does apt-cache, see above :) [21:50] my father brought it in a box [21:50] ill give it a shot then [21:50] hey when i type exit on Terminal Console , Terminal don't quit it look like sleep! how i can fix this ! thx [21:50] how do i disable this keyring stuff... i don't want to enter my password to connect every time i try to sign online [21:50] heinz1: I know. Is there a way to make cryptsetup more verbose on what is going on? [21:50] Err0r: You might try doing something to make sure the disk is actually functional [21:50] jumper? [21:51] mzz: Oh yea ;) [21:51] Sinatra, keyring stuff? [21:51] Err0r: if the same drive works in a different system I'd md5sum the first and last few bytes and compare the results [21:51] put it under the login keyring [21:51] Sinatra: wow linux was never lazy business [21:51] mzz: Though I already told him about that package awhile back :p [21:51] soreau: I know [21:51] Sinatra: the keyring handles lots of permissions, not just your connection to wifi.. you might be running wpa or wep on your router.. that password is held in the keyring.. [21:51] soreau: (we both did, I think) [21:51] does the "watch now" work for anyone here http://www.channel4.com/programmes/the-daily-show-with-jon-stewart/4od ? [21:52] ok i just executed the same fucntion you brought up, mzz, and i ask, what does it mean? a definition of possible packages, or a list of already installed packages? [21:52] it just reloads the page for me [21:52] enigma415: both (either installed or uninstalled) [21:52] hello all [21:52] mzz: Do you happen to know how to bypass theat keyring crap for wifi on Jaunty? (aside from bypassing network management nm-applet stuff altogether) [21:52] Trijntje: Don't know, but what about trying decrypting with UUID instead of /dev/...? === vortex is now known as hoolz [21:52] [21:52] Err0r: if the same drive works in a different system I'd md5sum the first and last few bytes and compare the results??? huH?? [21:52] i am using kubuntu Jaunty and i have a problem on my webcam i am using the gspca,sn9c102 moule and the cam is snxxx chip, when i see my image on the videoview program i can see everythign working fine and when i use skype or kopete i can see only a strip on the preview and the rest is black [21:52] can i define it more to tell me what is installed and exclude what is not? (if so, how?) [21:53] enigma415: you can also use "apt-cache show libwxgtk2.8-dev" to get more information, and there are other interfaces to all this (like system -> administration -> synaptic) [21:53] soreau, like I said just put the wifi thing in the login keyring [21:53] i want to fully understand the terminal over GUI [21:53] poningru: Sorry, I didn't quite follow.. [21:53] soreau, what with jumping the drive? [21:53] lesshaste: It seems to be coded to do that. When I hover over it, it gives me the address of the page, not a javascript or a flash-command or any other plugin. [21:53] Err0r: However you see fit. Make sure the hardware works [21:53] Hi! Does anybody know what "tilp: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libticables2.so.1: undefined symbol: usb_debug" means? [21:53] soreau, go to applications->accessories->password and encryption [21:54] and under password tab [21:54] poningru: k, sec [21:54] Err0r: I haven't been following along with what exactly your problem is, but if the same drive works in a different system I'd compare the first and last few bytes on the device. If they differ there's some hardware or lower-level os problem, not a problem with the encryption. [21:54] OttifantSir, how do you actually watch the programme?? [21:54] heinz1: I can try that, can you tell me how to get the UUID from a device? (i'm rather new on this) [21:54] move the auto-wireless password into the 'login' keyring [21:54] Hi everyone, I'm having a bit of problem with my wireless connection. The wireless is up, it has pulled the DHCP info from the router and everything, but it appears that my laptop is trying to use the wired connection even when I unplug the cable. Can someone give me a suggestion on how to fix this? [21:54] lesshaste: I never even knew about this page until you pointed it out, so give me some time to look around the page. [21:54] poningru: wow, thanks! [21:54] Err0r: if you don't have a different system it works in, are at all unsure about the hardware, and it's a regular ide/sata/scsi/whatever drive, I'd run "smartctl -a" on it to check its health [21:54] OttifantSir, ok thanks [21:55] !uuid | Trijntje [21:55] Trijntje: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [21:55] Trijntje: afair sudo blkid /dev/sdf [21:55] k np [21:55] OttifantSir, you might have to be in the UK [21:55] hey when i type exit on Terminal Console , Terminal don't quit it look like sleep! how i can fix this ! thx [21:55] kad, wfm [21:55] what terminal are you using? [21:55] hey everyone, im trying to install the network card driver for a newly converted windows laptop to ubuntu server, ive got the driver loaded onto a usb drive but i have no idea how to install it. With no gui, how do i do it from the command line? [21:55] !wireless [21:55] Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [21:55] and are you using screen? [21:55] poningru, bash shell [21:56] Hi, I have just upgraded from 8.10 to 9.04. I have Radeon 4870 gfx card. When I enabled the Binary Driver then rebooted my system hung with black screen but I could ssh into it and then remove fglrx packages, now it works but without gfx acceleration. What can I do to fix it? [21:56] poningru: So just delete the entry for my AP there? or accept always? [21:56] lesshaste: Yeah, I can't watch it in Norway at least. But below the "Watch Now", there's a flash-picture with a button saying Play. Try pushing that. [21:56] Help please! can anyone tell me when i use cable usb on ubuntu client,and why it doesnot work on Winxp guest? is there anyidea? [21:56] kad, which application? [21:56] heinz1: using UUID gives the same result as using /dev/sdf [21:56] kad, or straight to terminal? [21:56] as in tty0 [21:56] i just looked up that file in synaptic and it was not found (of course) [21:56] OttifantSir, hmm.. I don't see that [21:56] poningru, default one come with ubunut Terminal name [21:57] wolf23: virtualBox ? [21:57] poningru, yes [21:57] wolf23: Are you using virtualbox? [21:57] kad, are you in gnome? or outside of gnome? [21:57] Hey hey guys. I'm trying to play WoW in WINE on amd64 Linux. According to WoWWiki, I need the 32-bit graphics drivers in order for WINE to work. So the question is. where can I get those guys? [21:57] th__: download and install the latest fglrx fom ati [21:57] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5691406 here it is. something like that drives me on. [21:57] erUSUL, yes [21:57] poningru, in gnome [21:57] Trijntje, yes [21:57] kad, hmm thats odd it should work? [21:57] Threetimes, ok thanks I'll try it.. [21:57] hello everybody! For a few days now I am having trouble when starting ubuntu. At each start it performs a drive check due to an unclean shutdown, even though it seems to shut down perfectly. During the check (at 93% of the check on my home-partition) it stops and says there is an error and that I should run "fsck" manually. Here is my logfile: http://www.hpaste.org/fastcgi/hpaste.fcgi/view?id=7249#a7249 . My question now: Is it sav [21:57] e to run fsck? I've read that I can't do it on a mounted partiton, but isn't my home always mounted? what should I do? [21:57] florianbg: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:57] wolf23: i think that the ose version of Box does not support usb for the guest [21:57] poningru, i try to search in bashrc files and profile same thing [21:57] hi i have a problem starting cheese on ubuntu 9.04 this is http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/222201/ [21:57] pardon? [21:57] if anyone has Assultcube there are a bunch Ubuntu users playing as |BC| MAIN #2 [21:58] poningru: So just delete the entry for my AP there? [21:58] florianbg: you can do it booting in recovery mode [21:58] florianbg: or from a livecd [21:58] !vbox | Ose [21:58] Ose: virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from the package 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [21:58] soreau, no [21:58] i am half tempted to install linux mint since ubuntu seems to be faulty. [21:58] poningru: Select Properties? [21:58] kad, go into profile preferences and under titles and commands [21:58] kad, when command exits... [21:59] put it as exit the terminal [21:59] ok I will try that... can you tell me any parameters I need if I need any? Are my files being saved? Is there a severe risk of losing data? [21:59] Sinatra: if your hardware is faulty, then it might not make a difference [21:59] soreau, no put it into the keyring named login [21:59] you do have a keyring named login right? [21:59] erUSUL, so it doesnot work with the latest version? [21:59] florianbg: check the e2fsck man page... [21:59] how can i change the permissions of a owner like myself to be like root? [21:59] lesshaste: http://www.1pic2.com/out.php/i5500_Playshow.png You don't see it, like in this screenshot? [21:59] wolf23: it doesn't work with the OSE version. [22:00] wolf23: i think that you need the version from http://virtualbox.org [22:00] poningru: How do I do that? It's under Passwords: Default currectly [22:00] Vubi, use sudo [22:00] currently* [22:00] soreau, do you have a login keyring? [22:00] I obviously can't hang around in this channel [22:00] ciao a tutti [22:00] poningru: Yes, I have to type it every time I login to connect to my wifi [22:00] poningru: for example im trying to have write capabilities to a folder that only root is available to do [22:00] erUSUL, which one, can u give me the other version that supports amd 64? [22:00] gday [22:00] Ose: with virtualbox questions, you'll have a hard day with that nick ;) [22:00] hello ^_^ [22:00] soreau, you are not listening to me [22:01] No one else i can find either on the net or on IRC knows but lets see if the people here know, Is their a php mass proxy script? Where it connects to that page with loads of proxys? [22:01] soreau, do you have a folder under there named 'login' [22:01] poningru: You haven't said much :/ [22:01] Ose: not if you can't differentiate between what's directed at you and what isn't [22:01] Vubi, right use sudo [22:01] I can, my client can't [22:01] OttifantSir, eek no! [22:01] poningru: No, no login folder but I am only guessing I'm looking in the right place [22:01] can anyone help me install some drivers from a flash drive using command line [22:01] Ose: that's a problem for you to solve.

Perhaps someone else around here knows something about setting up RAID that way.

[22:12] erUSUL: every disc used needs a partition table.. the problem here is that its not JUST recognizing /dev/sda (which would be the 2 discs in the striped raid).. its physically recognizing the second disc independently..

How do I get this pop up dialog to just go away?! [22:41] for everyones info, i couldnt find anything about the error "unable to mount drive" with a usb, or Camera, make sure that they do not have any special characters in the top folders. I had a folder created with windows named" '57 chevy " and it caused errors within ubuntu and nautilis and automounting of the drive. [22:41] the only thing was having to use X11 with compiz enabled.. but I didnt enable compiz with it, as I used it to play UT now and then and watch videos. [22:41] dtownhero: I've added firefix 3.5 but it'as still the "Shiretako browser" [22:41] Ubuntu keeps telling me "I dont have permissions" [22:41] ShackJack, yeah, that's crap IMO [22:41] then you can't! [22:41] aim: well, /dev/sda is usually the first one, so any other device is not going to be /dev/sda, and since it goes in alphabetical order, /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc would be the next logical choices... you can also check by looking at the output of the dmesg command [22:41] it doesn't recognize default program associations [22:41] dravekx: sudo? [22:41] what don't you have permission to do? [22:42] sinbox, I dont know how to do that. Im new. Just installed ubuntu desktop. [22:42] dravekx what don't you have permission to do? [22:42] ShackJack: writing your own batch script shouldn't be too hard [22:43] nsadmin, I cant copy the files needed to install the pidgin addon. it says i dont have directory access. [22:43] Sh3r1ff: True, but also shouldnt be necessary, if you catch my drift ;) [22:43] dravekx: they aren't installable from packages? [22:43] nsadmin, http://code.google.com/p/pidgin-facebookchat/ [22:43] I want to install that [22:44] hi [22:44] is this ahelp channel? [22:44] ShackJack: never rely on a development team to do what you can do yourself ;) [22:44] anyone know if that's available? [22:44] poningru: After I deleted it, I logged in again and made sure to check the box that said something to the effect of, use this key every time automatically [22:44] dravekx: I just search Synaptic for pidgin, then install it as any other package [22:44] Sh3r1ff: True - but not the point. :) [22:44] linux guy there is lots of people here, some can help you im sure... [22:44] poningru: I feel closer than before but this is such an annoyance. Please help! [22:44] linuxguy: it's a ubuntu 9.04 support channel [22:45] Gnea, that appears to execute fdisk, however theres no outp. [22:45] *ouyput [22:45] *output [22:45] ok I'm looking for drivers for my motherboard.. I think theres something wrong with my USB [22:45] nsadmin, sudo apt-get install pidgin-facebookchat [22:45] linuxguy: Yes, it's a help channel [22:45] nsadmin: just the 9.04 version? damn, I need to upgrade ;) [22:45] thanks soreau [22:45] aim: 3rd time's the charm, eh :-D [22:45] Eiles: thanks [22:45] Cyber_Akuma: you can pick an existing swap partition during ubuntu's setup, and it won't mind if other systems use the same partition (although obviously you need to be careful if you use that partition for suspend) <---- the operating systems are already setup [22:45] linuxguy what specifically is going wrong? [22:45] Hmmm, so I would need to have a seeprate swap partition of rubuntu and opensuse? [22:46] OttifAntSir, it sure is :P [22:46] how would I dod that [22:46] sinbox I wanted to thank you for tour help on saturday with my brother scanner cheerio [22:46] do* [22:46] well I just see some errors with USB when server is booting [22:46] dravekx sudo apt-get install pidgin-facebookchat [22:46] aim: which is why you need to search through the output of the dmesg command to find it out [22:46] Cyber_Akuma: err, no. They can share a swap partition just fine, although again, be careful if you suspend them to disk. [22:46] I am recently establishing new ldap sever server using Debian please help me I want a graphical ldap server administration tool to help me by my side . [22:46] ohh and somehardware errors I think [22:46] Because it suspends to the swap partition? [22:46] Cyber_Akuma: just tell them to use the same partition (/etc/fstab), it'll just work [22:46] Okay, does anyone know how to install this in UBUNTU??? Im totally aggrevated with it and Ive been trying to understand for 2 hours. [22:46] how do i install perl modules with ubuntu ? [22:47] So if I dualboot two linux oses, I can't suspend them? [22:47] linuxguy what happens when you plug something in... check dmesg [22:47] epqr: like which one for example? [22:47] dravekx: like nsadmin said: sudo apt-get install pidgin-facebookchat <-- open a terminal and type that [22:47] Cyber_Akuma: yes, suspend to disk stores ram contents in the swap partition. So if you suspend one linux distro and then boot the other bad stuff will happen. [22:47] Is there any way to avoid that? [22:47] Cyber_Akuma: you can suspend them, but you need to either resume them before booting the other distro, or you need them to use separate swap partitions. [22:47] oh.. sry.. I didnt see that... this screen is moving fast. [22:47] I see [22:48] Gnea, can I output it to a text file? its too big for my terminal. [22:48] So if I have 4gb of ram I need a 4gb swap partition right? [22:48] jcmarini, no problems I got heaps of help when I got here so I try when I can, glad it worked for you [22:48] to suspend [22:48] aim: sure, or you can read it like this: dmesg | less [22:48] Cyber_Akuma: or you need to get them to suspend elsewhere. There are options, but you need to be a little careful. [22:48] jetftwi: try phpldapadmin [22:48] anyone know if there is an IMG file of the desktop version of 9.04? [22:48] Cyber_Akuma: only to hibernate [22:48] #!/bin/bash [22:48] Cyber_Akuma: no, a smaller one will work as long as not all ram is used when you suspend. [22:48] pushd ~/DVD/ [22:48] for f in `ls *.iso` [22:48] do [22:48] echo "Processing $f file..." [22:48] stephans: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:48] aim: and use the up/down arrows to scroll [22:48] HandBrakeCLI --preset AppleTV -i $f -o $f.m4v [22:48] nsadmin: like "File::HomeDir" or "DBD::SQLite" [22:48] mv $f ~/DVD/Riped/ [22:48] done [22:48] nsadmin, WOW.. seriously??? it was that easy??? [22:48] Probably would be best to give them each their own then to avoid problems [22:48] How would I do that? [22:48] I am trying to conver in batch... [22:48] I get an error if I try to install mysql: http://pastebin.com/m6d993355 , suggestions how to fix it? [22:48] Cyber_Akuma: and yes, where I keep saying "suspend" I mean the "to disk" kind, frequently called "hibernate" [22:48] convert [22:49] dravekx: That's how easy it was. === dragon_ is now known as dragon [22:49] how do I allow for spaces and parenthesis in bash? [22:49] I would like to know how to make it to where I do not have to but in a keyring password every time I login to connect to my wifi access point. Is there a way to do this? I got as far as putting my wifi entry in seahorse Password: login but it still asks me for the password because 'Network Manager nm-applet wants access to the default keyring, but it is locked' How can I unlock it without having to type in the password from that box each and every si [22:49] ngle time??! [22:49] stephans: there are a lot of conversations here, use pastebin or pastebinit [22:49] right now ubuntu is installed, and I am going to reformat the opensuse partition and reinstall that too [22:49] For some reason, my computer no longer detects my DVD-RW drive when I finish installing it. I cannot access it via nautilus or any mount commands. [22:49] is it common for a wireless card not to work ass good on ubuntu as it dows on vista [22:49] I have one 1.5gb swap partition, so I guess I need to make two 4.1gb swap partitions [22:49] What data do I need to provide to get help? [22:49] one for ubuntu and one for opensuse [22:49] <_Space_Case_> help using vbox and guest os"windoze" cantt access the usb ports i have vbguest additions installed [22:49] sinbox when I saw the channel on the sidebar I did not know what it was ,,, sort of private chat is it [22:50] stephans: I mean you noticed this right? [22:50] stephans: If a filename has spaces, encapsulate it like this: "foo bar.sh" [22:50] Cyber_Akuma: I don't know how opensuse's install process works. If you install ubuntu as second os just create a swap partition during install (and don't tell the installer to use the existing partition) [22:50] uuntu is alrady installed [22:50] jcmarini, yep [22:50] I meant how ot config them after installing [22:50] what is the best irc for ubuntu? anything close to mIRC? [22:50] Gnea: about hdparm: okay, I seem some numbers but the information that is important is the spinning down. but that information is not visible there [22:50] I use xChat [22:50] anyone? [22:50] Joe_kErr: I'd say Xchat, yeah. [22:50] Joe_kErr, I use xchat [22:50] ! best | Joe_kErr [22:50] Joe_kErr: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [22:50] one more ubuntu question [22:50] install perl modules in ubuntu??? [22:51] xchat!!! [22:51] Cyber_Akuma: create partitions if they're not already there (using gparted or the like), run mkswap on them (again unless you already have them), edit /etc/fstab to use them [22:51] hi, can anyone help me setup sound? i don't think pulse audio will work, i don't tihink it's even installed... i'm trying to use alsa, but i get an error when i try to run alsamixer... [22:51] thanks [22:51] But IRSSI is the best! [22:51] epqr: one second. [22:51] thanks [22:51] gotta go catchya later [22:51] I upgraded from 8.10 to 9.04 and my video hardware no longer worked, an ATI Radeon x1200, did they ever fix it? [22:51] * Bob_Dole notes that IRSSI is command line [22:51] i want something close to mIRC which i've used often [22:51] irssi ftw [22:51] Cyber_Akuma, they never will [22:51] Joe_kErr: xchat is great for irc, pidgin if your hooked on some M$ chat [22:51] epqr: http://www.yinfor.com/blog/archives/2007/04/perl_module_install_under_ubun.html [22:51] Joe_kErr: I do use xchat but I have no idea what's best... having said that, it's probably not mirc or xchat [22:51] Cyber_Akuma: I have troubles with ATI Radeon too [22:51] Cyber_Akuma, Well, the open source driver -is- making progress, but ATI will never fix it, because they intentionally did that [22:52] Its a laptop so I don't have a choice [22:52] Why would they intentionally do it [22:52] nsadmin: such a thing as the best does not exist, that depends on a per user basis ;) [22:52] Cyber_Akuma: Because some companies don't want to help linux? [22:52] right now im using the default xchat gnome but its very limited...it down't show me the users in the room [22:52] So you buy something new, and so they can focus on newer hardware. (HD 3xxx series and later, I think) [22:52] ..... [22:52] Cyber_Akuma: I'll bet you had fglrx installed or still do, which is most likely causing your graphics woes. Your card is now supported by the open source radeon driver [22:52] the only company I can think of would be microsoft [22:52] xchat is a great starting point... but i keep hearing great things about irssi [22:53] Thanks, JavaAtom. I'll try [22:53] test [22:53] Sh3r1ff: unless you define objective criteria... and even then best is not the best word to describe that [22:53] aand MS dosen't really own ATI [22:53] epqr: Np. Best to google first. [22:53] Cyber_Akuma, that's not it. they want you to A) Buy new hardware..and they also want to focus everyone on new hardware. [22:53] soreau: could you explain how to get the open source radeon driver to work? [22:53] Cyber_Akuma: AMD owns ati [22:53] I WOULD buy a new card, if I could [22:53] this is a damn laptop [22:53] Could someone recommend a PDF editor for Ubuntu? [22:53] I hate the crappy 3d card it has [22:53] Cyber_Akuma, Bob_Dole hit the nail on the head. buy a new laptop :D [22:53] ... [22:53] Mites: Sure. Just completely remove fglrx from your system [22:54] In that case, if I buy a new laptop itll be an intel [22:54] Tetracomm, editor...? [22:54] good job ati [22:54] Yes, a program that I can edit PDF files with. [22:54] You can also downgrade to 8.04/8.10, or wait for the OpenSource driver to support your card. my Radeon X1600 is supported, at least partially. [22:54] Cyber_Akuma, that's usually what i try to go for, unless it's for gaming. then nvidia. IMHO. [22:54] Cyber_Akuma: or other laptop whose hardware you've fully researched [22:54] <_Space_Case_> help, using vbox , guest os"windoze" cantt access the usb ports i have vbguest additions installed [22:54] it was a black friday deal [22:54] soreau: and after thats done? [22:54] I didnt really have an option [22:55] Anyway, right now I want to get this swap partition issue resolved [22:55] Cyber_Akuma: Your graphics card works just fine with the open ati drivers. Try a Jaunty live cd, 3D works OOTB [22:55] _Space_Case_, if you read on vbox's website the OSS version doesn't support usb. [22:55] _Space_Case_: You have OSE-version installed? [22:55] _Space_Case_, Um, the OpenSOurce edition of Vbox doesn't have the USB feature, and I don't know if Ubuntu supported the not-open source edition [22:55] _Space_Case_: virtualbox-ose doesn't have usb support, you'll have to download the other version and install it from source [22:55] _Space_Case_: try the vbox channel: #vbox [22:55] Jaunty is which one, 9.04? 9.10? [22:55] Janty is 9.04 [22:55] Mites: Make sure xorg.conf is not using Driver "fglrx" then cold boot the machine [22:55] I'm having a hardware detection issue with my IDE DVD-RW drive. Any suggestions? [22:55] So AFTER ubuntu is installed, how can I set a swap partition? [22:55] and how can I tell is NOT to use a second swap partition? [22:55] Cyber_Akuma: use gparted. [22:55] _Space_Case_: oh, i see you're getting responses now. Never mind. [22:56] Gnea, ok it appears to sdb.... [22:56] I assume if I have 4 gigs of ram then I will need to make it slightly bigger? like 4.1gb? [22:56] I have Ubuntu installed through VMWare and I'm having trouble getting Linux to recognize my webcam. Does anyone have any thoughts? USB is enabled in VMWare. [22:56] Cyber_Akuma: got both swaps formatted? [22:56] not yet nsadmin [22:56] im still workgin on repartining the hdd [22:56] its a mess [22:56] did half it it in vista but its being a bitch so I rebooted to a xubuntu livecd to finish the job [22:56] sbradley33: Well, ubuntu in vmware presents all sorts of hurdles that a normal system wouldn't have to work through. [22:56] padi999: hrm, that's odd... maybe it needs to be set before it shows up [22:56] soreau: ok, thanks! I will try that [22:56] right now theres just one 1.5gb swap partition [22:56] sbradley33: So, we might be unable to help you because we can't isolate the problems to one system or the other. [22:57] I plan to make one for ubuntu and one for opensuse [22:57] Problem is, I dont know how ot tell them to use their own and not mess with the other [22:57] after installing/rebooting, you would make the partition and format it, then edit /etc/fstab [22:57] and I dunno how big I need to make them (have 4 gigs of ram) [22:57] so suspend will work [22:57] and everything else it might need it for [22:57] JavaAtom: That's what I thought. Although, Ubuntu did pick up my iPhone. [22:57] Hallo! I can not speek english very well, so please be patient. I want to ask about mutt. Its running, I have no probs, but I want to choose from wich email I want to send. Is this possible or have I to change it every time from muttrc? [22:57] Gnea: it's tricky to test because the hd in question is the one the OS is running on. So I will never be able to see a spun down status :) [22:57] 3.5gigs of RAM ought to be enough for anybody...(not using PAE on 32bit) [22:58] har ahr... [22:58] _Space_Case_: Here's a direct link for the 32-bit of VirtualBox: http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/3.0.2/virtualbox-3.0_3.0.2-49928_Ubuntu_jaunty_i386.deb If you need the 64-bit: http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/3.0.2/virtualbox-3.0_3.0.2-49928_Ubuntu_jaunty_amd64.deb [22:58] you know bill never really said that right? [22:58] Gnea, fdisk -l /dev/sdb still gives no output [22:58] padi999: it's probably not something you want to worry about unless you've done some research on ubuntuforums.org :) [22:58] Gnea: it's just important that the config in /etc/hdparm.conf is being used, it's just one line: /dev/sda { spindown_time = 240 } [22:58] good nigh peple [22:58] aim: even as: sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb ? [22:58] Billy Boy Gates claims he never said it. [22:58] night Pit3r [22:58] s [22:58] Gnea, yeah... [22:59] JavaAtom: I figured it was just a driver issue, which I'm having problems installing. I'm very new to Linux (I'm a Windows guy) and want to learn a new OS. [22:59] And theres no proof he did other than word of mouth, plus he could have been taken out of context XD [22:59] anyway [22:59] Gnea: I guess, it's fine, but it's always strange if I can't test sth. [22:59] So joked aside, would I need a 4gb swap partition or larger? [22:59] Gnea, hamish@hamish-laptop:/$ sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb1 [22:59] sudo: unable to resolve host hamish-laptop [22:59] [sudo] password for hamish: [22:59] hamish@hamish-laptop:/$ [22:59] aim: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:59] can someone help me setup sound? i get an error running alsamixer... [23:00] hello [23:00] !hi | Brainstorm1 [23:00] Brainstorm1: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [23:00] gnea, tried with and without the 1 [23:01] arrrghhh put the error message on rafb.net/paste and then tell us the url [23:01] aim: won't work with the 1, only with the device itself [23:01] aim: make sure it's plugged in [23:01] nsadmin, thanks - http://pastebin.com/d48c2005f [23:02] does anyone know where I can find a meebo plugin that will wqork on gcc3? [23:02] I've got a really weird issue: I can install ubuntu via CD, but when I try and access the cd/dvd drive after I finish installing, nothing shows up. [23:02] Gnea, doesn't work either way. definitely plugged it, thte screen has the [23:02] it's using pulseaudio? [23:02] Andreas: if mutt doesn't have the option, write two rc files and make .bashrc aliases to copy the one of them you want to .muttrc [23:02] USB image on it [23:02] or trying to? [23:03] is there a wallpaper changer which supports multiple monitors apart from nitrogen? [23:03] Gnea, any idea? [23:03] aim: hrm, can you pastebin the output of your dmesg command? easiest way: sudo apt-get install pastebinit && dmesg | pastebinit [23:03] hmm, im new to ubuntu and noticed that when i use synaptic package manager and i select something to install it takes about 1 minute or so to even get it selected. Is this normal or is there something strange going on ? [23:03] Andreas: forget that, read "mutt --help" in terminal: you can specify rc file with "mutt -F" [23:04] someone already install citrix xenapp client in ubuntu 9.04 64 bits? [23:04] woo! I can now control the volume of my usb soundblaster with pulseaudio [23:04] nsadmin, yea it looks like it but i've tried to set it up to use alsa - what did i miss? [23:04] Am I in the right place, asking for hardware detection issues? [23:05] Gnea, http://pastebin.com/f45e2a84b [23:05] !patience | JavaAtom [23:05] JavaAtom: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [23:05] arrrghhh: my guess is you miss the libasound2-plugins package .. can you check in synaptic you have this package installed? [23:05] soreau: sorry to bother you again, but Im checking synaptic and I see that I have fglrx-modalises and xserver-xorg-video-radeon installed.. Is that how it should look like? [23:05] glitsj16, sure 1 sec [23:05] is there a way to make beagle limit searches by checkboxing the directories you want the results to come from? [23:06] in lxde i cant get a menu that says move to or copy to all i get is cut copy paste rename anyone know what i have to do or what im doing wrong ? [23:06] glitsj16, i installed a buncha packages, but apparently not that one... anything i need to do after that? do i need to reboot or can i just /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart? [23:07] arrrghhh: a restart would be fine i guess [23:07] aim: that looks strange, but I'm willing to bet that you've got some sort of power-management thing going there with a suspend/resume thing, right? [23:07] this is the most i've restarted this server ever lol! [23:07] arrrghhh: this assumes you are on 32bit though, otherwise the packagenames are different for 64bit [23:08] If I download a theme from gnome-look or something similar it -can- change the trash can Icon right? [23:08] glitsj16, yes, this is a 32-bit machine. i guess i should make it 64, but i haven't wanted to hassle with anything. [23:08] Do I need compcache enabled? I just read a blog saying its for live cd's and should be removed from my installed copy. It creates a compressed swap device in ram. I have 4 gigs of physical ram and a 4 gb swap partition. [23:08] Help Please. Im Install Ubuntu REmix (Ubuntu 9.04) but the Touch and de Wireless donsent work. [23:08] arrrghhh: okay, make sure you also have the libasound2 package [23:08] Gnea, I almost always hibernate if thats what you mean. [23:09] is synaptic slow responding for everybody or is it just me ubuntu 9.04 ? (i dunno the normal speed since im new to ubuntu) === AfterDea1h is now known as AfterDeath [23:09] Brainstorm1: try a different mirror? [23:10] #!/bin/sh # This is a comment! echo Hello World # This is a comment, too! [23:10] why can i not enter Insert mode in VI when i hit I [23:10] aim: that's probably what's mucking it up then. try rebooting and not hibernating and try to read it again [23:10] kkrusty by that u mean : preferences -> sources ? [23:10] Brainstorm1: The only time it takes time for me to get a response from marking anything in Synaptic for install/remove/etc, is when I mark apx 30 items simultaneously. So if you have that for ONE item, something's not quite right. [23:11] Could someone recommend a PDF editor for Ubuntu? [23:11] Brainstorm1: try running it in console and check if it takes a long time downloading/getting updates. if so then it may be something to do with where you are getting your packages from [23:11] net.pl [23:11] Tetracomm: OpenOffice will produce decent pdf files === haris is now known as qedx [23:12] th0r: Can I use it to edit existing PDF files? [23:12] fission6: try esc and then i [23:12] oh sweet, pulseaudio just solved my sound issue :D [23:12] and do you mean writer (Word)? [23:12] Help Please. Im Install Ubuntu REmix on HTC Shift (Ubuntu 9.04) but the Touch and de Wireless donsent work. [23:12] if you use the most recent version, I've had no issue with PDF editing. [23:12] Tetracomm: I don't know of anything that will do that...even in windows [23:12] Brainstrom1, i typically get about 800kb/s in synaptic. [23:12] Sh3r1ff: no go [23:12] i am running vmware workstation 6.5.2 on ubuntu 64bit 9.04 jaunty and i cannot get vmware sound to work regardless of what published tricks i use, such as alsa-oss wrapping etc. can anyone help me with this nagging issue? [23:13] so yeah, if anyone tries to use a Soundblaster X-Fi Surround 5.1 with Ubuntu, you need to enable pulseaudio or it won't work [23:13] that is all [23:13] aim: its not the installing speed actually its more the selecting speed [23:13] fission6: you can't type any text at all? [23:13] if i mark something for installing it can take up to 1 minute [23:13] before its marked [23:13] Tetracomm: there is a foxit reader for windows that I had running once in wine. It does a sort of pseudo edit by creating an overlay layer in the pdf file [23:13] Im running a dell mini9 and when I run the updater on 9.04 it removes the pannels, should I just wait on the updates? any ideas? [23:13] try using console instead :P [23:13] Tetracomm: All OpenOffice programs should produce PDF when you need to. [23:14] nice solution :P [23:14] OttifantSir: but openoffice can't edit an xisting pdf file ;) [23:14] Tetracomm: I've used inkscape to create a pdf file before. I forgot how well it works for editing pdfs though. [23:14] I know, but I need to edit existing PDFs. :( [23:14] Ok. [23:14] Tetracomm: pdfedit is available and does work (for the few PDF's i ever used it on) [23:15] Tetracomm: inkscape definitely lets you *add* to a pdf, but the amount of *editing* it can do probably depends a bit on what wrote the pdf [23:15] Tetracomm, the best way i've heard is import the pdf into oo.o draw's program. then you can print it to a virtual pdf printer. [23:15] Sh3r1ff: No, it can't but I didn't say that either; I said "produce" not edit. There was something earlier about pdf editors. I'll check my window and see what I can find. [23:15] Brainstorm1: how many repositories do you have? also try clearing out your cache [23:15] Tetracomm: pdfedit (should be in the repositories) [23:15] is it possible to run oss with 9.04 64bit? [23:15] hi all, i recently upgraded jaunty and my network drivers have stopped working! As it was I had to do the modprobe forcedeth msi=0 msix=0 to get around my nvidia chipset but now it can't find any network interfaces! I'm on mobile internet :o [23:15] I installed PDFedit, but, I don't know how to use it. [23:15] pdfedit - Editor for manipulating PDF documents [23:16] Anyone? ive done searches on the comm site, with little success. [23:16] Tetracomm: try pdfedit filename ? ;) [23:16] Tetracomm: http://pdfedit.petricek.net/user_doc.html presents an online manual [23:16] Tetracomm: did you try 'man pdfedit'? [23:17] I will try. [23:17] Tetracomm: It works. Its not pretty. I wouldn't go so far as recommending it, but I have used it successfully. It is always better to start with a doc file and save or export to pdf, but if you don't have an original source, pdfedit does the job. [23:17] Metalsouled: do you get the panels back after a reboot? [23:17] Tetracomm, i'd much more highly recommend my method with oo.o write... [23:17] er oo.o draw, sorry [23:18] dan: No, I didn [23:18] t [23:18] kkrusty i guess i have default repositories since i didnt edit anything [23:18] hi, where do I find a list o laptops that comes with ubuntu(linux) installed? [23:18] Smegzor: Ok, How do I delete a page with it? [23:18] the first time i updated it made it boot with minimal grafrix [23:18] zimbres, there's no "list" that i know of, but system76 would be wht i would recommend. [23:19] zimbres: No central list I know of, but system76 (USA) or Dell ships with Ubuntu. [23:19] Metalsouled: well, you could file a bug report. The panels aren't supposed to disappear. But, filing bugs can be a pain [23:19] system76 is based out of Colorado in fact :D [23:19] Tetracomm: No idea without trying that myself. My use was limited to wiping out text with a white box, then typing new text in its place. [23:19] I reinstalled, ran the updater w/o installing anything else, wiped the panels. Saw Icons but nothing else [23:19] zimbres: that would take the fun out of installing it yourself ;) [23:20] I might just wait the next 2 months till the next release date [23:20] Tetracomm: if you only want to cut a page out leaving all the other pages, I think I have seen utilities that slice up pdf documents?? [23:20] ok kkrusty dont ask me how i did it cuz i tried a lot of different things but its fast (again) [23:20] so tnx kkrusty for your help [23:20] Tetracomm: IIRC there is a commandline utility to do that. [23:20] Gnes, no cigar :( [23:21] Gnea, no cigar :( [23:21] OttifantSir, arrrghhh , I am afraid of buying one incomplatible one. === sharperguy2 is now known as sharerguy === sharerguy is now known as sharperguy [23:21] zimbres, so what? i suggested a linux OEM, what more do you want? [23:21] hello this morning i was editing my grub i delted a swap file now i have no grub im on a live cd ubuntu can anyone help i dont have a grub [23:21] aim: is that an external hard drive or what? [23:21] Ok, it let me delete a page. [23:21] Thank you. [23:22] Gnea, ita an mp3 player but i use it as one [23:22] zimbres: Then I'd not personally recommend a Toshiba. Haven't had good experiences with them. [23:22] ubuntu i'm guesssing you didn't backup your menu.lst before editing, which you should ALWAYS do when editing a file? [23:22] no i didnt [23:22] well i did the other day [23:22] aim: can you browse it with nautilus? [23:22] ubuntu, can you revert to it? other than that there's a ton of tuts on reinstalling grub... [23:22] if you actually did manage to remove grub. [23:22] Also, does anyone know if a GMA 500 grafix chip would cause issues? its giving the 0hz refresh rate thing [23:23] zimbres: I have a Dell Inspiron 9400 that "just works", apart from having to install a proprietary driver for my wifi. Never a problem with it. [23:23] how huge is mixalpha-numeric-all-space wordlist between 5-6 symbols? [23:23] how do i revert im sorry im really new to this [23:23] ubuntu, did you back it up? you said you had a previous copy... [23:23] Gnea, command? [23:23] i did the thing in command line [23:23] fadda: pretty huge [23:23] nautilus /mnt/sdb? [23:24] but i had it search the other day [23:24] aim: just click on Places and then your mp3 player in the menu [23:24] ubuntu, i don't think i can help you, you obviously don't want to help yourself and i'm not going to hold your hand. you have to do legwork yourself. [23:24] it couldnt find a grub [23:24] how do you burn a disc in a rewritable format? [23:24] aim: nautilus is just the name of the file manager [23:24] Gnea, no i can't [23:24] Ok. [23:24] aim: does it show up in 'my computer' or 'computer'? [23:24] im going to try to update again, then if it messes up I'll just use terminal to try and get the panels back [23:24] see that is what keeps windows people in windows [23:24] nope... [23:24] i ask a simple question [23:24] you have to be rude [23:24] Lenin_Cat, uhm discs are either write-once (typical) or re-writeable from the factory (not typical, special purchase)..... [23:25] ubuntu: calm down, no one is being rude [23:25] ubuntu, you need to learn and read before you do. that's why you broke your system. [23:25] anyone know how to use ftp? how do I mput *.mp3 without it asking me for all the files [23:25] leg work is that workign on it since 10 am this morning [23:25] !attitude | ubuntu [23:25] ubuntu: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [23:25] i'm now having 40+ gigs and wondering whether it is at least half way till the end? [23:25] its rude though [23:25] Gnea, you've been a great help, and its much appreciated. [23:25] ubuntu: you can recreate grub from the live cd [23:25] ubuntu: if you take every little thing as 'rude' then the problem is not with us. you need to get over yourself and work to solve the problem. [23:26] how do i do that [23:26] Smegzor: Have you ever added a link to a PDF? [23:26] Gnea any other ideas before i have to go? [23:26] ubuntu, i was asking simple questions and you responded extremely vaguely. i'm sorry, but i can't help you if you can't help yourself. [23:26] i tried earlier today [23:26] ubuntu: 1 sec [23:26] i read up on it tried it wouldnt jive or something [23:26] aim: I can't think of any, other than re-plugging it in after a regular bootup and not from a hibernation.. :/ [23:27] aim: and you're welcome :) [23:27] The only problem is that my PDF does not have links to each of the pages. [23:27] Tetracomm: you mean a url? [23:27] ubuntu, 2 second search - "http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351" [23:27] * Sh3r1ff can see now why 95% of all IT problems relate to pebkac [23:27] hi, it is possibile to install ubuntu from an usb devices ? a usb pen or an usb hdd ? [23:27] Yes :) [23:27] yea i got a few of thpose [23:28] dob1, you can from the livecd or do pendrivelinux.com [23:28] Tetracomm: oh you mean a table of contents. No I haven't. [23:28] now i was trying the tar [23:28] Gnea, cheers for your time bud, but i got work to do. thanks. [23:28] but i dont understand untaring [23:28] hey guys, i just installed the hamster applet for gnome from source and its not showing up in the add to panel dialog [23:28] ubuntu: I've been struggling with my new soundcard for over a week now. I finally figured it out less than an hour ago, now my sound works fine. No one here could help me with it. It wasn't rude of them, they just didn't know how to fix it. I had to figure it out on my own. Now, I can tell people how to fix the problem if they encounter it in the future. [23:28] arrrghhh: livecd is a the cd right? [23:28] aim: cheers, good luck [23:28] Smegzor: I want it to have the table of contents which links to each page. [23:28] dob1, yes, what makes it "live" is the OS is booting off of the cd, w/o installing anything. [23:28] #ubuntu-es [23:29] !usb | dob1 [23:29] dob1: 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 [23:29] Tetracomm: best advice is to google that. [23:29] uhm yea, you're going to have to google that. lol, if only i could give that response at work! [23:29] After following the NFS-guide in Community Documentation, and having given explicit permissions on which machines could mount shares, as I've done several times before, I can't mount them. IIRC, the error was "mount.nfsd there was an error mounting the share". NFS has worked perfectly every other time I had to do it, so I don't know why not now.

[23:35] arrrghhh, yes, i was told once to remove all external repos and local/obsolete files before dist upgrade [23:35] ubuntu: thats not good. I'm a bit out of my depth.

[23:54] glitsj16, hrm so i should use pulse instead of alsa? i was just trying to use alsa as that's what i knew. [23:54] SteveHill, do you mean sftp? I think it's just regular ftp. I'm not sure I understand your question though. [23:54] WIGGMPk: It's possible, but you need to install some modules to enable it. Don't remember what they are at the moment. I'll look in my Synaptic and see what I find [23:54] ancillary question: how is pulse shaping out these days? [23:55] OttifantSir: so gparted does not automatically support it? [23:55] arrrghhh: no there's no obligations either way :) .. i just thought to kill 2 flies with the one howto [23:55] I'm having trouble talking on Ventrilo [23:55] glitsj16, interesting, it looks like i can run alsa now... [23:56] WIGGMPk: No, since it's not a linux filesystem, it doesn't. [23:56] glitsj16, i have MUSIC!!

[23:57] WIGGMPk: do sudo apt-get install ntfsprogs and you should have the ability [23:57] Hello folks.. is there a way to use a DV firewire cam as a web cam on ubuntu? [23:58] SteveHill: But I can connect using a command line-tool if that is what you asked. [23:58] OttifantSir: hmm.. I thought they built in NTFS read/write support into hardy? which im running Jaunty.. or is this just a gparted limitation? [23:58] Hello, I have a problem with Ubuntu 9.04 on Acer Aspire One 751 - sometimes it doesn't respond. Applications doesn't respond, mouse pointer moves, music play and all I can do is poweroff. So now I start sshd and waiting. Can I found problem in log? What and where should I search? [23:58] WIGGMPk: Nope. Not a clue. I didn't use fdisk for many years, and that was on Windows, so I haven't gotten back up-to-date. [23:59] is there a requirement for a computer to go to sleep? [23:59] OttifantSir: bigger question though.. is something gonna f up down the road? Its curious to me that fdisk doesnt pick it up and gparted does [23:59] ie: to suspend/hibernate you need swap [23:59] pnglb: Can you execute a process on the ftp server? Then you'd just run the rsync THERE, rather than on your machine. [23:59] aperson, yes you need it [23:59] SteveHill: no, I can't. [23:59] WIGGMPk: They built in rw-support for NTFS, but not the ability to format a partition in it. === Linkadmin is now known as Vercingetorix
