[00:00] neohashi: run sudo nvidia-xconfig in a terminal then reboot see if that fixes it [00:00] h4f1: that should allow you to use two or more sound feeds at once [00:00] FloridaGuy: as i just found out gksudo is part of the gksu package [00:00] th0r: why is installing esound a good idea? esound is deprecated [00:00] Im creating a custom compilation 100% SVG icon theme, and Im wondering if anyone know if a theme is missing an icon for an app, does ubuntu look at a "fallback" set of icons to grab it? Like from Clearlooks or Human maybe? [00:01] funkyHat: I tried pulse and didn't like it...so went back to esound. I admitted already that pulse is the wave of the future...if you want to recommend it to him go ahead [00:01] th0r coincidently pulse-rt is on of the fies that xmodmap is complaining about [00:01] th0r: I have installed pulseaudio. esound is not even installed [00:01] stefg, and thats installed [00:01] Dr_Willis, thanks for responding. I tried using ./configure --prefix=" with the same result. It says that I should write where python is installed, isnt that the right place? [00:02] h4f1: if you have pulse installed you should be able to use two or more audio feeds at once...can't have both esound and pulse [00:02] FloridaGuy: so what happens if you run gksudo synaptic ? [00:02] is there a way to have fstab autoconfigure itself via a gui or an automatic set up? i just added a drive [00:02] h4f1: which version of ubuntu? [00:03] h4f1: make sure all your audio apps are using pulse as the audio system and not alsa [00:03] pulseaudio is especially nice if you have multiple linux boxes , only 1 needs to be connected to an amp , the rest connect via network to the pulseaudio server & play their audio over the network ... quite nice ! [00:03] funkyHat: 904 [00:03] Guys,guys! my sound just stopped working [00:03] how can I make Ubuntu syncs the time with some kind of web service so it's always on time? [00:03] h4f1: is it upgraded from previous versions, or a fresh install? [00:04] how do I fix it [00:04] th0r, how do you do that? i have trouble with a java app and k3b [00:04] th0r: wait so or alsa or pulseaudion or esound ? [00:04] stefg, Failed to run synaptic as user root.The underlying authorization mechanism (sudo) does not allow you to run this program. Contact the system administrator. [00:04] yomm: yeah....and you are using all those system resources for pulse whether you want a server or not...on every box [00:04] h4f1: pulseaudio [00:04] funkyHat: upgrade [00:04] andresmh: ubuntu uses ntp-sync by default [00:04] I am 9.04 [00:04] anyone know how I can set my video driver from nvidia to vesa? === Andre_Gondim-afk is now known as Andre_Gondim [00:04] th0r , you can easily disable the server side [00:04] cause I use alsa sound, cause only that seems to support my microphont [00:04] FloridaGuy: so your user is not a member of admin / sudo group [00:04] yomm: you can easily disable pulse [00:04] h4f1: have you tried to fix your sound before (with previous versions)? [00:04] stefg, where do you configure what server it uses then? [00:05] disables th0r :) [00:05] GammaX: Why in the world would you want to downgrade your video to vesa? [00:05] I don't understand why xmodmap needs pulse any way way. But then again when I tried to pipe yesterday, klogd wanted my "Ham" callsign. Go figure! [00:05] yomm: there may be a reason there are so many howtos on removing pulse and installing esound [00:05] linux, cause i believe its overheating my laptop lol [00:05] h4f1: pulseaudio is a layer on top of alsa, so it should support all cards that alsa supports (there are some bugs though) [00:05] funkyHat: the sound is working. but some time can't have two applications accesing the sound/ [00:05] funkyhat:I have a sound problem as well [00:05] h4f1: can you check that pulseaudio is running? [00:05] stefg, i guess not sence i did alowd root access in advanced user mot on the netinstall cd [00:05] h4f1: Mx I have no sound problems at all [00:06] GammaX: If your laptop is on, its gonna get warm. Changing display to vesa wont do anything but make the screen look like crap. [00:06] does ubuntu have ppc version? [00:06] need help with my sound [00:06] is fixing th sound problems a priority for 9.9? [00:06] Guest: It does. [00:06] can anyone help [00:06] Mx: when did your sound stop working? was it after an update or something? [00:06] rootlinuxusr is it old or updated? [00:06] funkyHat: Yeap it's running [00:07] linuxguy2009, As I said before.... Its (over heating) my laptop. An nvidia 8600m puts out osme heat [00:07] Guest: updated. [00:07] andresmh: it's in the time/date control applet [00:07] GammaX: what's the core temp of your card? [00:07] funkyhat:it just stopped [00:07] GammaX: Yeah thats what they do. You can use whatever drivers you want and the card still eats the same power and puts out the same heat. [00:07] I didn't update anything [00:07] http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/9.04/release/ [00:08] First link under Desktop CD [00:08] GammaX: Buy a lappy cooler thats about as good as it gets. [00:08] Mx: does it work if you reboot? [00:08] stefg, users-admin...has me..my user and root [00:08] no it does not [00:08] hi [00:08] for all [00:08] I dual boot with windows and my sound card works just fine [00:09] hloo [00:09] th0r : that reason imho is the same as there were so many tutorials on how to build your nvidia driver ( in the old days I mean :) ) or anything else that requires a bit of tweaking and doesnt work 100% out of the box [00:09] FloridaGuy: then check /etc/sudoers if the admin group has sudo privileges. I don't know if that's the default if you choose to run a root account [00:09] funkyhat:are u there? [00:09] Dr_Willis: it was my /etc/inputrc settings [00:10] Mx: What version of Ubuntu? [00:10] yomm: well....I don't subscribe to the 'one install does everything' philosophy. If I want a sound server I will install a sound server. My sound system should play sound on my computer...end of story. [00:10] stefg, really? Where exactly? This is all I see http://img413.imageshack.us/img413/7541/screenshot1nkf.png [00:10] 9.04 [00:10] th0r : that's exactly my point :) [00:10] linuxguy:did u get that? [00:11] Mx: Does the sound work in a live CD boot? [00:11] yes it does,isn't that funny [00:11] h4f1: who owns the process? [00:11] andresmh: not that one... in system> admin > time & date [00:11] h4f1: also what is the output of the "groups" command? [00:11] Mx: You might have a buggy update installed. I would recomend maybe trying the LTS release cause its had more fixes and patches etc. [00:12] how do I do that? [00:12] need help with x11 error: screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration... yeah upgrade to nvidia 185.18.14 (via installer) killed acceleration.. running low graphivs mode at this moment. [00:12] Mx: ubuntu.com download the ISO for 8.04.3 LTS [00:13] yomm: I would be interested in knowing if removing pulse and installing esound fixed the issues for these guys [00:13] !download [00:13] Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors - PLEASE use the !torrents to download Jaunty, and help keeping the servers' load low! [00:13] stefg, great! found it. i now realize i don't have ntpn [00:13] u mean 9.04.3 [00:13] neohashi ; sudo nvidia-xconfig & then restart your comp or your x server [00:13] Mx: There is no point releases for regular releases. I meant what i said 8.04.3 [00:13] Mx: no, he means 8 [00:13] have tried that .. sudo nvidia-xconfig && restart did nothing [00:14] any one know "how to ubuntu cluster" at least some tutorial or where to look for ? [00:14] th0r ; for multiple sound sources , don't they need to enable software mixing ? [00:14] what is the wine irc [00:14] !wine [00:14] 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 [00:14] yomm: just install esound and make sure the apps use alsa === bud is now known as Guest30263 [00:14] neohashi: when you said upgraded what driver did you have before that? [00:14] stefg, here's what sudoers says.... http://pastebin.com/m19fa05f0 [00:14] ubuntu is literally about to melt my laptop case lol [00:14] whats are some cool plugins for the desktop [00:15] hey can somebody tell me how to install themes on xubuntu? [00:15] hi guys [00:15] GammaX: The operating system has nothing to do with how hot your hardware gets. [00:15] yomm: but installing esound automatically uninstalls pulse [00:15] i have problem with installing .tar.bz2 archives [00:15] anyone help !!!

[00:16] yes th0r [00:16] i still cant install it [00:16] well.. not entirely sure.. 180.. the official one via ubuntu gui installer [00:16] !wine [00:16] 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 [00:16] yomm: I guess...I was out of computer for a while (dead toshiba) and when I got the replacement i waited for jaunty before installing [00:16] GammaX: Dear god! Go download ANY other linux distro or install windows. Hardware uses a preset voltage and creates its own heat as a result. All OSs will do the same thing as far as heat goes. Has absolutley nothing to do with it. [00:16] anyone? [00:17] stefg, replace mine with that [00:17] why this warning come when i use pppoe: Jul 27 02:16:51 kad pppd[7785]: Warning - secret file /etc/ppp/chap-secrets has world and/or group access [00:17] FloridaGuy: yes.. i just added the needed lines [00:17] mohd: and how do you do that, do tell? You can install the contents....once you extract it [00:17] ok [00:17] linuxguy2009, wow I wish u knew what you were talking about. [00:17] when write xvid this it goes ok [00:17] GammaX: Same here dude. [00:17] any other software I could use for gnutella? [00:18] linuxguy : and what about speedstep & cpu fan voltages & stuff ? [00:18] FloridaGuy: and make sure you're member of admin [00:18] other than gtk-gnutella? [00:18] neohashi: did you uninstall it first before installing the new driver if not you need to uninstall everything and reinstall [00:18] linuxguy:so u mean that the 8.04 is more stable than 9.04 [00:18] but when write ./configure or make it say error [00:18] linuxguy2009, a preconfigured OS has drivers wich set voltages... hardware doesnt control that. [00:18] linuxguy : that could very well be OS specific [00:18] mechtech_ny: did you try gtk-gnutella, limewire, azureus [00:18] Mx: 8.04.3 has had probably about 300+ updates integrated since 8.04 release. So yes. [00:18] linuxguy2009: actually, your OS can determine how hot your hardware gets [00:18] GammaX: also often BIOS settings can control voltage [00:18] Gnea: lol [00:18] why do some pages allow me to interact with the menu and hotkeys while others seem oblivious to hot key combinations and instead require mouse pointer activation? [00:19] ok [00:19] mechtech_ny: did you search synaptic for gnutella? [00:19] mechtech_ny, agreed. [00:19] linuxguy : gnea is right [00:19] th0r: limewire for Ubuntu? I have not...will try now...thanks [00:19] yomm: lol [00:19] linuxguy2009: if I tell my OS to run a boinc client that chews up CPU usage, the fans are going to spin faster.

[00:19] stefg: thanks [00:19] mechtech_ny: If I remember right limewire is java [00:20] Gnea: lol [00:20] th0r i cant th0r can i pm u because i cant speak here [00:20] ok ??? [00:20] linuxguy2009 : Gnea : I'm more referring to how the OS hndles things like Intel's Speedstep , & variable fan voltages [00:20] why is y name Guest [00:20] linuxguy2009, stop trying to "POWN" people and know the facts. I asked for help... not an noob reply. [00:20] th0r: I'll just give frostwire a try first...thanks [00:20] yomm: Thats all controlled on a BIOS level not OS level.

[00:37] h4f1: It's not my cdrom that's mounted under /cdrom, it's my primary hard drive!

[00:40] h4f1: My primary hard-drive [00:40] h4f1: I need to run an fsck on it [00:41] h4f1: But I can't as long as the stupid live system has it mounted [00:41] h4f1: And I'm unable to mount it [00:41] joh: sudo umount /dev/sda# [00:41] joh: your bios might swap drives around to enable booting from usb... run sudo fdisk -l or cat /proc/partitions and see if your harddrive is on sdb now [00:41] joh: do you have gparted in live cd ? if so run it. there should be an option to umount [00:41] Gnea?

How can I tell on which HD I will install ubuntu?

[00:44] trollboy: what I'm wondering, is if there's another module that's being blacklisted that it needs - usually in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [00:44] Is it considered bad form to autopost a question every 1/2 hour. So that if someone has any advice they can leave a message? [00:44] coleys: lsyncd is using rsync with inotify (but I run into issues when propogating changes bidirectionally) [00:44] Lostinspace_46: Whats your question?

[01:14] OK mate has a problem, he is running ubuntu on a laptop, its using the drivers that came with ubuntu, thanks to there being no drivers in hardware drivers, but compiz works. but anyway, his screen keeps flickering [01:14] Firefishe: you start the vnc server with the command vncserver :1, or vncserver :2...all the way up to :9 if I remember right [01:14] Tfnrsh: K, I appreciate it. I'll do some rtfm'ing around and figure it out.

Creating new panels doesn't fix it either [01:14] kn100_: you got access to this pc? [01:15] Firefishe: virtual terminal F2 does correspond to F8 for X, but I don't think you can run them both at the same time [01:15] but vnc should do the trick [01:15] boss_mc, no but i have the person on the phone, and he is VERY good at following instructions [01:15] thats the point i guess [01:15] Firefishe: you access the vnc connections by port number, :1 coirresponds to 5801, :2 to 5802, etc [01:16] Firefishe: it should be possible to open the vnc connections with vncviewer localhost:5801 and so on, and have several desktops in windows on the screen [01:17] whats the best bit torrent client for ubuntu [01:17] Firefishe: never tried it though...no guarantees [01:17] is there any good OSS productivity software (I looked around google and turned up nothing). E.g. a way for co-workers and I to exchange chat/lists/doodles/charts/etc in real time integrated into the same application?

[01:20] i'm trying to load ubuntu copied to one folder into a fat32 drive as "mode" live-hd. I'm using grub boot loader. grub loads ubuntu, but don't load ubuntu desktop. what's wrong at grub?? [01:21] It's a Samsung Beat I'm Running Jaunty [01:21] Firefishe: I think vnc4server is the newest [01:21] !info mobile-broadband-provider-info [01:21] mobile-broadband-provider-info (source: mobile-broadband-provider-info): database of mobile broadband service providers. In component main, is extra. Version 20090309-0ubuntu1 (jaunty), package size 18 kB, installed size 132 kB [01:21] Firefishe: but any would probably work. [01:21] how much ram does gnome use up to run? [01:21] Firefishe: but if you want remote connections there are two better choices....X forwarding via ssh and NX [01:21] th0r: is the package 'vncserver' a meta package for the latest? Or doesn't that package work that way? [01:22] how do I see the "Open with" options tab for folders as I see in the properties for a file ? [01:22] Firefishe: not sure...I installed vnc4server [01:22] Firefishe: and it installed vncserver [01:22] how do I make gnome stop running for this session only === ez is now known as Guest6323 [01:22] how do I kill gnome? [01:23] cooper77z: /etc/init.d/gdm stop [01:23] cooper77z: do you want a terminal session or to switch desktop environments? [01:23] boss_mc, 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS690M [Radeon X1200 Series] [01:23] cooper77z: you select something else in gdm [01:23] why my keyboard keep beeping [01:23] th0r: I see. Well, this is a laptop, so what I'm wanting to do is have multiple xsession open. Now, to have them in a virtual gui-terminal on a common desktop--say, one terminal running xfce and another fluxbox, etc.--would be ideal. [01:23] ? [01:23] boss_mc, any ideas? [01:23] I just want to kill gnome for this session only and run cinelerra from the command line [01:23] th0r: spelling correction: multiple xsessions open [01:23] kn100_: does he have these problems with compiz switched off? [01:24] Firefishe: you might also consider installing VirtualBox and running separate installs....you could run suse, winxp and redhat all in windows on ubuntu [01:24] erm let me tell him to turn it off [01:24] disabling the effects from 'change my desktop wallpaper' will disable compiz right [01:24] powerUserbud: try disabled "Play Alert Sound" in System > Preferences > Sound > Sound [01:24] thanks pizloz Iam going to kill gnome [01:24] Hi guys, I deleted the Ubuntu partition from my hard drive and now I'm getting error 17 every time I try to boot [01:24] just for this session [01:24] What can I do? [01:25] thanks [01:25] nas [01:25] kn100_: I assume he's using jaunty [01:25] th0r: I have virtualbox installed--currently using it to run the new Palm WebOS sdk and emulator, along with Eclipse for program development--niiiice ;) [01:25] boss_mc, course [01:26] kn100_: does he have these problems with compiz switched off? [01:26] Firefishe: yeah...I love it. For what you are trying to do you are probably best to try running several X sessions. vnc I think you will find too slow to respond [01:26] boss_mc, i am telling him to turn compiz off now [01:26] th0r: I also have various ubuntu, kubuntu, SuSE, etc. I'd probably install open solaris if I ran any virtual machine at all. [01:26] th0r: I follow [01:26] th0r: Thanks :) [01:26] Firefishe: I have solaris installed...but it is terribly slow [01:26] good night, see you later. [01:27] th0r: Yes, at least in virtualization it is. It runs fine natively. [01:27] th0r: I mean, the Open Solaris live cd works just fine. [01:27] what time is it in the UK? (checking system clock) [01:27] Ok I found how to fix it, but so I type "root (sdb,2)" or "root (sdb2)"? [01:27] 1:27 [01:27] cheers [01:27] after I kill gnome with this command gksudo cinelerra start cinelerra? [01:28] arif [01:28] This is in the GRUB terminal [01:28] also, how do i direct responses to people like kn100 just did to me? [01:28] !tab| arif [01:28] arif: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [01:28] Hi! Is there anyway i can disable Compositing with a hotkey? KDE4 [01:29] can cinelerra run without gnome? [01:29] arif: type their name at the start of your message [01:29] cooper77z: yes [01:29] Flaxi: My guess is root (1,2) This would be sdb3 [01:29] Drknezz: alt-shift-f12 [01:29] what command will start it drknezz? [01:29] Hello. [01:29] Firefishe: Thx [01:29] ubuntu jaunty amd64 bzr-gtk doesnt work , stderrr smt like incompatible api << can someone help [01:29] arand: I made a mistake I need sdb1 instead, would that be root (1,0)? [01:29] sweet, many thanks people. will try tab in the terminal now... [01:29] cooper77z: once gnome has stopped using the command i gave you you shouldn't use gksudo as it's for starting graphic applications [01:30] Flaxi: yep [01:30] boss_mc: Thanks [01:30] cooper77z: Just install it and run it, it MAY have gnome look, but it will run, no wonder you use kde/xfce .... [01:30] BB [01:30] how do I start the setup in a different GUI mode? Doesn't seem to like my monitor :( [01:30] Flaxi: hang on, make thaat root (hd1,0) for sdb1 [01:30] my desktop is working now but something go wrong if I try to set desktops with CompizConfig [01:30] how then should I start cinelerra from command line withought gnome? [01:30] Drknezz: Had a compositing issue with kde4 (4.2.4 in my case) giving me an error saying compositing was too slow. When it gets this testy, I just reboot in recovery mode, do a nice little fsck from the recovery mode ncurses screen, and boot from there. Works nice that way at times ;) [01:30] oh, he's gone...pish posh [01:30] arand: Then setup (hd1)? [01:31] boss_mc, the flickering apparently occurs every now and then, about every 5 or 10 seconds, just a quick flash of horisontal white noise, i have got him to disable compiz, and he is testing now [01:31] Flaxi: I guess so, if you aim to install to mbr of sdb [01:31] drknezz, how much ram does gnome use up? [01:31] Does someone use wmii2? What is your "mod" key? xmodmap says "mod1 Alt_L (0x40), Alt_R (0x6c), Meta_L (0xcd)" but I tried with both left and right alt keys and none worked when doing Mod-T. [01:31] i just upgraded to ubuntu 9.04,my wireless is not working now,its keeps asking for wps password,any idea whats the issue [01:31] kn100_: sounds like the open source drivers on that card aren't good enough to run compiz... [01:32] kn100_: which is a bit of a bummer [01:32] is there a portuguese support channel ? [01:32] arand: Well I'm really trying to remove GRUB and reinstall the Windows bootloader but I forgot my Windows password [01:32] boss_mc, yeah, at least they kind of can lol [01:32] !pt | nelson_ [01:32] nelson_: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Para a comunidade local portuguêsa, #ubuntu-pt. Obrigado. [01:32] thanks drknezz, I'll google the rest :) [01:32] boss_mc, how can he composite without compiz? [01:32] On the subject of turning off compositing with alt-shift-f12 in kde4, will another, subsequent application of alt-shift-f12 turn compositing back on? [01:32] kn100_: unfortunately ati dropped support for those cards a few months (and one ubuntu version) back [01:33] kn100_: what does he need it for? [01:33] boss_mc, a dock [01:33] kn100_: metacity can do compositing [01:33] avant window manager [01:33] kn100_: but it's not great... [01:33] boss_mc, erm how do i enable it? [01:33] Flaxi: hum, I SuperGrubDisk can do that nicely I think, and there is tools on SystemRescueCD for changing your windows password... [01:34] kn100_: open gconf-editor [01:34] kn100_: go to Apps->metacity->general [01:34] kn100_: check the compositing_manager box [01:34] boss_mc: My P4 desktop of about 5 years ago has an AGP 256MB video card. I tried using the Jaunty live-cd but it didn't have the ATI fglrx driver for it, so I just stuck with 8.10. Working fine :) [01:34] kn100_: test away... [01:34] boss_mc, thanks for all your help [01:35] Firefishe: like I said, they dropped support one ubuntu version ago, they all work fine in 8.10 (well, using version 9.3 which is ok) [01:35] kn100_: no [01:35] problem [01:35] I am trying to exclude files that begin with a dot in any and all directories using rsync, I have put - .* in my exclude-from file, yet this doesn't work, any ideas? [01:35] Need help with sound. ( Sigh. ) It's never worked right since gutsy. I'm now in Jaunty. It works for a while, and then it stops. Then I reboot six times and it works for a while again. I'd love to find out what this is and fix it for good. [01:35] boss_mc: thanx [01:36] hello, I got a problem in my 9.04. The "Locals" menu icons open VLC instead of nautulus. Anyone knows how to solve this ? [01:36] storm-zen: you mean to say if you reboot 5 times - it wont work? [01:36] boss_mc: Are you saying that ATI dropped the support? [01:36] hello everyone,i just upgraded my machine from 8.04 to 9.04 and my wireless stopped working now,asking for wpa password again and again,anyone know whats the issue [01:36] boss_mc: Or ubuntu? [01:36] Dr_Willis: Surely you don't think I'm making that distinction. [01:36] storm-zen: ive seen stranger things.. Ive had sound cards not work in Linux.. UNLESS i power off and boot straight to linux.. if i booted to windows and 'soft' rebooted to linux = no sound. [01:37] considering VideoRam does nothing in xorg.conf now. how can i increase the VRAM from 256 to 512 (the original windows i replaced on this machine had 512) when there are no bios options to change it? [01:37] if theres a difference between a desk and workspace [01:37] is* [01:37] Firefishe: ati have stopped developing drivers for 'old' cards, and the last driver they made runs on Xorg 1.4 but Jaunty uses 1.6 so no compatibility... [01:37] arand: Which would you recommend to fix this, changing my Windows password or fixing GRUB? [01:37] Dr_Willis: Yes, that is a bit stranger. :p [01:37] boss_mc, o lord [01:37] Firefishe: so it's ATI's fault and ubuntu had to drop it to develop [01:37] boss_mc: I see. Well, I'm glad my laptop uses nvidia ;) [01:37] powerUserbud: you can have several virtual 'workspaces' I guess you can say. the current one you are seeing is your current desktop. [01:37] well disabling compiz seems to have fixed it [01:38] nvidia (o) [01:38] storm-zen: yep. "plug and play' getting set oddly and not resetting. [01:38] Firefishe: indeed, I even bought a new card when that happened so I could use jaunty (which is btw, SEXY) [01:38] It just bugs me that i've tried to solve this one problem more times that I even cared to count. [01:39] kn100_: has he got compositing working? [01:39] storm-zen: this is a laptop or desktop box? [01:39] I guess I haven't tried to solve it in Jaunty yet, though. [01:39] Flaxi: I don't understan how those two things could be linke to the same issue? [01:39] Desktop. === ^Einstei1 is now known as ^Einstein [01:39] boss_mc am taking him through it now [01:39] sorry about the msn lag [01:39] i need help with changing the screensaver on xubuntu 9.04 [01:39] boss_mc: I've got Jaunty on the brain, boss ;-). Works beautifully on my Asus G50Vt-X1. The usual 4 gigs (of which I think it sees only 3 for some reason), and the nvidia 9800 GS chipset 512mb vram. not bad at all. [01:39] storm-zen: I suppose you dont want me to point out that you can get an ok Creative sound card for $30 ? :) [01:39] kn100_: he might find he get's the same problems... but metacity is much much lighter than compiz so he may have luck [01:39] what is multilib? [01:39] Yesterday I was going through my workspaces but then I moved to a desk and everything except for my background dissapeared [01:40] Dr_Willis: No, as I've already bought a Turtle Beach one, for the same reason? [01:40] storm-zen: so BOTH sound cards have the same issue? [01:40] Firefishe: 512Mb of your addressable memory space is going to your graphics card, and the rest to the kernel [01:40] in the current linux kernel, is there a way to disable gui booting and have it display the text boot? [01:40] Firefishe: if you had 64bit you'd get your whole 4Gb [01:40] arand: The problem is, I had Debian installed on a partition and when I'd finished with it I formatted the partition to NTFS but now I can't boot because I get GRUB error 17 and when I try to use the Windows recovery console it asks for my password so I can't use "fdisk /mbr" [01:40] kn100_: the recovery console? [01:40] kn100_: edit fstab, remove quiet and splash [01:40] Dr_Willis: It would seem so. Though I haven't checked the (unsupported, although it looks like it is supported) soundchip since I got the card. [01:41] arand, this is on a linux based phone [01:41] boss_mc: Aha! So that's the culprit. 64 bit has it's own issues, too, I guess, being still so experimental, at least in linux (or am I blowing wind with this assumption?) [01:41] Can flash 10 be installed on a 64 bit system [01:41] i have the kernel source code which i can (and have) compiled and flashed to the phone [01:41] is there a way in the terminal [01:41] i can get a terminal from the phone [01:41] powerUserbud: probably so [01:42] kn100_: usually you can boot to init 3 or another init to stop x from starting [01:42] kn100_: oh... well you'd still need to edit the kernel boot parameters somehow... [01:42] boss_mc: Either way, I'd have to do a complete re-install, and I have *so much installed and configured already*, it'd be a shame to lose it all again. [01:42] Firefishe: it's been around a while, the big issue is drivers, they all need to be adapted for 64bit, most have been but some are still not done [01:42] powerUserbud: I got flash 10 going on this 64bit system [01:42] Firefishe: that's always the way... *sadface* [01:42] boss_mc: Tell me this: Does nvidia have a proprietary driver for 64 bit ubuntu jaunty? [01:42] DId you get it from The Adobe sit. it said I had the wrong architecture [01:43] Dr_Willis: do u know how to change the screen saver on Xubuntu 9.04? [01:43] superdaniel49: The screensaver, or the screensaver program? [01:43] Firefishe: I believe so, although the nvidia drivers are frowned on :) (they replace large swathes of the linux graphics system with their own, less efficient system) [01:43] ok i can edit the boot perams [01:43] i just found them [01:43] i need help on getting the game openanno http://www.unknown-horizons.org/site/index.php?page=download [01:43] Firefishe: but on the flip side, the nv (open source) drivers are pretty sketchy [01:44] boss_mc: well, do the 64bit 3d linux drivers work? [01:44] what is multilib? [01:44] Firefishe: i use the proprietary ones [01:44] Firefishe: don't know, think so [01:44] Firefishe: my x64 nvidia 185 drivers work well [01:44] there you go [01:44] storm-zen: the screen saver, u know like the thing that comes after a certain time of not doing anything [01:44] ( I guess I'll just try rebooting until it works again. Who knows? Maybe it's electrical... ) [01:44] Flaxi: Ok, if you don't plan on using grub anymore, I'd say go with reinstalling ntldr using supergrubdisk, that is a fairly easy process from what I remember. [01:44] Firefishe: suprisingly so [01:44] musikgoat|main: propritary or open source? [01:44] superdaniel49: not a clue. [01:44] superdaniel49: There should be an icon for that under System somewhere. [01:44] musikgoat|main: proprietary rather [01:45] Firefishe: the proprietary nvidia drivers [01:45] Firefishe: 185 is proprietary [01:45] how do I know gnome stopped when I can still use it? [01:45] boss_mc: ah, I see..thanks for that clarifcation :) [01:45] storm-zen:let me look [01:45] superdaniel49: System/preferences/Screensaver [01:45] boss, musikgoat|main: Now I'm thinking of 64bit virtual machine creation ;) [01:46] My gnome-panel is stuck, alt+click doesn't move it and neither does normal dragging. Creating new panels doesn't fix it either [01:46] maybe I need to log out first [01:46] storm-zen: i'm on the xfce desktop [01:46] Oh yeah, why doesn't work anymore? [01:46] Firefishe: unfortunately, without some GRUB wizardry you can't have both running at once.... [01:46] How can I overclock the shader clock in the nvidia-settings? Someone can help? sorry my english [01:46] i can't extract my rar files [01:46] !nozap | storm-zen [01:46] Sorry, I don't know anything about nozap [01:46] it goes right to wine file [01:46] superdaniel49: Ah, that's pertinent information, you know. [01:46] !dontzap | storm-zen [01:46] storm-zen: To re-enable the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace combination that restarts your X server, you can install the "dontzap" package and use the command « sudo dontzap --disable ». The combination Alt+SysRq+K can also be used to obtain a similar effect. [01:46] That will work; thanks boss_mc. [01:47] storm-zen: what do u mean pertinent information? [01:47] say i have the kernel source code from a device, what boot perameters would i need to do to make it have a text boot and not boot with a graphic [01:47] Firefishe: i think the current stable in jaunty is 180.44 though, and they worked fine as well === TT is now known as Guest66679 [01:47] spycode: what's your native language? [01:47] arand: Thanks, I'll have to reboot out of this live CD so I'll give a go and see what happens [01:47] How can I overclock the shader clock in the nvidia-settings? there's only Clock and Memory, where's the shader? someone knows anyother method to do this? [01:47] musikgoat|main: The 64 bit version, you mean? [01:47] superdaniel49: Nevermind. Try running gnome-screensaver. [01:47] Firefishe: [01:48] yes [01:48] musikgoat|main: thanks [01:48] !info nvidia-glx-180 [01:48] nvidia-glx-180 (source: nvidia-graphics-drivers-180): NVIDIA binary Xorg driver. In component restricted, is optional. Version 180.44-0ubuntu1 (jaunty), package size 8682 kB, installed size 26188 kB (Only available for i386 amd64) [01:48] storm-zen: ok then let me try that [01:48] im propting for password again again when wireless security is enable,anyone know whats the issue [01:48] superdaniel49: Oh, wait... that won't work. [01:48] i'm using the 190.18 graphics beta driver [01:48] Sorry; half asleep. Did you google xfce? [01:49] but even in the 180 [01:49] spycode: any benefits or specific reason? [01:49] I don't have the shader option [01:49] what's the command to open that settings manager that control consolekit, to remove password requirements for certain tasks ? [01:49] musikgoat|main: more compatibility with dx10 games [01:49] ok... I'm off to mess with sound now. [01:49] musikgoat|main: Again, though, my only *problem* (if I can call it that) is, do I nix my current i386 system install and redo it for 64bit. I'm not doing anything particularly 64bit-ish, and it might just mess up my programming. I think I'll wait for another hard drive to put it on. This lappie has dual drive bays, one of which is currently empty. ;) [01:49] spycode: dx10 games via wine? [01:50] yes [01:50] musikgoat|main: example: Silent Hill Homecoming [01:50] Firefishe: seems like a good idea [01:50] spycode: cool [01:50] does anybody here use Songbird ? [01:50] yes [01:50] wine 1.1.26 [01:50] musikgoat|main: running pretty nice than windows [01:50] windows really sucks [01:50] spycode: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:50] Firefishe: or install it on a usb pen! [01:50] powerUserbud: what is songbird? [01:50] Firefishe: fun fun fun [01:51] boss_mc: Yeah, I could do that, too. [01:51] Firefishe: 64 bit is not as stable as 32 bit. I think you're right to make sure you can boot back into 32 bit easily... [01:51] how do I stop gnome completely and return to command line only? [01:51] me again, hello everyone, i wanna know how i can modify my sound card propriets? [01:51] losher...My Thoughts Eggs Aktly ;) hee [01:51] Firefishe: I did that to test jaunty performance with the new graphics card [01:51] musikgoat|main: do you know how to make an overclock in my vga in the xorg.conf... without any settings from nvidia...? [01:51] losher: however the stability is far greater in the past couple years than before, i will now recommend it to users [01:51] musikgoat|main: sorry my english [01:51] why so you think i upgraded this Windows 98 computer to Xubuntu spycode? [01:51] spycode: no [01:52] losher: I've got the palm webOS sdk installed, and have eclipse and vbox for the webOS emulator. It's working nicely, and I don't really wanna mess it up! [01:52] Songbird is an open source music player [01:52] xubundu is rules superdaniel49 it will works nice in a 98 PC [01:53] boss_mc: Using a usb pen is a good way to test a lot of things. The only pen I have that is working, however, is one with an old install of Slax on it. ;). I did for experimental reasons. I have to work with the pens more to get them to work. My earlier attempts proved fruitless. [01:53] if i type in /etc/init.d/gdm stop then terminal says ok does that mean gnome stopped even though I still have gui??? [01:53] spycode: that's why I upgraded to Xubuntu. The Windows 98 partition was already messed up [01:53] boss_mc: The newer pen-editions, though, may work better. [01:53] Flaxi: seems like the main page for that one is down currently, but http://freshmeat.net/projects/supergrub/ seems to have some mirror download links [01:54] superdaniel49: yes... I can imagine that... [01:54] Firefishe: I tried Slax, but i was not satisfied [01:54] superdaniel49: Well, it's quite dated. [01:55] superdaniel49: Windows seven is windows 95 with new themes and support... but... this shit stills windows LoL [01:55] i like 7 :( [01:55] !ot | spycode outy [01:55] spycode outy: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [01:55] and it's Vista version 2 [01:55] spycode? [01:55] spycode: I mean after i upgraded to Xubuntu, it went a lot faster, so it was worth it [01:55] oh [01:55] any suggestions on getting atheros 802.11 wireless to work? [01:56] nvm just woke up [01:56] is there a multimedia production channel for ubuntu? [01:56] #fedora [01:56] cooper77z: i'm not sure if they have it [01:56] when i browse network folder in nautilus it comes back empty as does smbtree, however it i point nautilus to smb://ip it connects to the server and smbtree as well as network folder magically start working [01:57] superdaniel49, if I stop gnome but I can still windows and background does that mean gnome stopped using ram? [01:58] Hi. I am looking to be able to access more than ~3gb on an ubuntu 8.10 system (32bit). I hear I can install the server version of the linux kernel but can't find any linux-image-x.x.xx-x-server package. Can it be installed (and used) easily? [01:58] Usually if ur on a dual boot with 2 os by each other. It hasn't stoped using RAM [01:58] I am just using 8.04.2, but when I stop gnome, I can still use the windows [01:58] super [01:59] krayon: if you're referring to more than 3gigs of ram the server package or kernel won't help you.. 64 bit is the only way to get more access to ram... ON ANY OS.. not just ubuntu [01:59] how do I get the the installer to try to do the GUI installer in a different Graphic mode? After usplash my screen just goes blank === poseidonpp is now known as poseidon [02:00] Scunizi: you could have a ram HD and use it that way [02:00] superdaniel49, terminal says ok when I stop gnome, but all windows type graphics remain [02:00] hey when i go to system > preferences > appearance > visual effects tab and try to turn on"ExtrA" it changes my minimize, maximise, and close buttons to some dodgy ones that i dont like, and the "extra" is always turned off again after a reboot, any idea whats going on ? [02:00] test34: yes.. but that's just like vram from the 80's.. another partition.. not functional, operational ram.. [02:00] its making docky not work [02:01] i am using 9.04 latest updates. when i browse network folder in nautilus it comes back empty as does smbtree, however it i point nautilus to smb://ip it connects to the server and smbtree as well as network folder magically start working. i have no issues browsing server shares from winxp laptop [02:01] cooper77z:do u have Gnome on a partition not used by windows? [02:01] Scunizi: use it as swap partition, then it's almost like real RAM ? [02:01] jocefus, its a known bug [02:01] I am only running ubuntu linx superdaniel49 [02:01] Scunizi: What about bigmem? [02:02] test34: naw... you should already have a swap.. 2 is redundant and not used much anyway [02:02] Scunizi: it could be your only swap partition [02:02] krayon: I don't know anything about bigmem..... [02:02] hi there [02:02] i need some helep about sound card [02:02] test34: true.. takes more than a noob to set up though.. :) [02:02] !ask | TiM [02:02] TiM: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [02:03] Scunizi: My understanding is you can use BIGMEM to enable support for >3gb in the linux kernel. [02:03] cooper77z: so ur don't have dual boot. Where when the computer starts it gives u a choice of booting into Windows or ubuntu? [02:03] Scunizi: maybe but it isnt impossible [02:03] jocefus, see my pm [02:03] krayon: you should google it and see what it actually does.. does it give seemless access to that extra ram? or does it set that extra amount up as something else? partition, swap, whatever? [02:04] test34: my point exactly [02:04] i installed my sound card, but now i'm having no sound on firefox [02:04] superdaniel49, I reformatted and lost all microsoft influences [02:04] Scunizi: According to a post on http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/2828/ the server kernel allows for referencing the extra. [02:04] krayon: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=725567 [02:04] hola [02:05] whats the best windows program to read ext3 partitions? [02:05] cooper77z: how did u install ubuntu. Live CD or Downloaded image? [02:05] Scunizi: Well, I run ArchLinux and according to some forum posts on the bbs the bigmem makes stuff slower :( Having said that, the request was still made to me to put it on a system for testing. [02:05] krayon: great.. follow that.. you should also ask youself.. do I actually use the 3 gigs recognized now or is most of it left dormant?.. you may be chasing windmills. [02:06] krayon: I use 64 bit on arch everyday there is no reason not to use it [02:06] yoyoned: I'm not sure if all the software they are using will work with it (and they use Ubuntu not arch) [02:06] superdaniel49, I made an image after I completely installed fedora from a linux for dummies disk [02:06] yoyoned: krayon should say if he even has a dual core machine. [02:06] yoyoned: Otherwise I'd probably just do that ;) [02:07] cooper77z: did u get the image from the Official Ubuntu site? [02:07] Thanks boss_mc, th0r (though I know he's gone now), musikgoat|main, and all the rest who helped me today! :-) [02:07] Bye for now [02:08] yoyoned: Thanks for the link, that sum's it up nicely :) [02:08] lola [02:08] I don't know, superdaniel49.

I have had laptops in the past that have odd chipset/built in readers - often its just the sd card that work in them.. some times they dont work at all. theres just a lot of varity in the things. [02:34] jet: its possible theres some kernel options that might get it going. but you would have to check the forums for that exact laptop/chipset of the things. some of my netbooks need special boot optiosn to get theirs seen properly. [02:34] jet: some only work IF theres a card in the slot when you boot.

So I went to change it the normal way, and that control was broken. I apt-get removed gtk-chtheme, but this problem didn't go away. [02:47] I found a forum post saying this was due to something that changed in my .gnome2 config.... [02:47] And the best way to fix it is to simply delete the .gnome2 folder and change your settings all over again... -- But is that the only option? [02:47] there is no actual problem, and i got the basics but im lookiong forward to rent a rack with my own uplink [02:48] hey all, i'm a total noob at linux and irc but i really dont know where else to turn for help. is this the right room to seek help?

If I change the port, apache seems to still be running but my site is unavailable. Any ideas anyone? [02:52] it MIGHT be my only option? [02:52] Welp.. I guess it can't be TOOOOO bad to just simply start over with a new gnome config.... [02:52] maybe ??? dynex works fine for me :) [02:53] * H_M-Laptop wipes his tears and deletes the folder.. then restarts [02:55] i have a serious question regarding the speed of "ubuntu 9.04 gnome" verses "sabayon 4.2 gnome". why is sabayon lightening fast when compared with ubuntu??

[02:56] this is on-topic. i am asking a question regarding ubuntu 9.04 [02:56] richardcavell, nah its off and ports are accessible [02:56] sabayonuser, no, it is not. Please take chat elsewhere [02:56] toogreen: are you able to ping the port from another computer? [02:56] richardcavell, when i try to load the site apache is running but tells me the page is unavailable [02:56] richardcavell, yes [03:01] bazhang: :) [03:01] it takes a while longer to open pidgin, firefox, and even at boot up. what can be done? [03:01] toogreen: sorry got cut off. What do you get if you http request from another computer? [03:02] richardcavell, a "Not Found" error [03:02] bazhang: read up. i missed to type your name. [03:02] richardcavell, so Apache is running indeed and responding, just doesn't load the content [03:03] richardcavell, cuz at the bottom of the error page i see the server info: Apache/2.2.11 (Ubuntu) PHP/5.2.6-3ubuntu4.1 with Suhosin-Patch Server at "removed" Port 99 [03:04] richardcavell, and then if i go back and change /etc/apache2/ports.conf to port 80, restart apache, same page same content loads fine. I don't get it! [03:04] is there a good whiteboard/blackboard app for ubuntu? that runs over the network so two people can use it at once? [03:05] any idea's here to make ubuntu go faster? [03:05] toogreen: okay, so it is serving [03:05] toogreen: it's just refusing to serve the content of your site [03:05] toogreen: #apache has 112 users right now. Try there. [03:05] i need help with tis stupid o2 reader [03:06] i need to borrow someone really quick [03:06] is there anyone from the US here with at&t internet [03:06] preferably with the high speed dsl [03:06] is there a special plug for ubuntu to use more cpu power? [03:07] toogreen: I think the channel for the apache httpd is #httpd. #apache is the channel for the Apache Software Foundation [03:08] hi, im experiencing issues connecting ubuntu, i removed network-manager and setup: auto eth0; iface eth0 inet dhcp in my /etc/network/interfaces file, when restarting network, it hangs on not getting any dhcp offers [03:09] lstarnes: ok my bad [03:09] * richardcavell logs off to play counter-strike [03:09] How do I suspend all programs except the one I click on to free up ram?

[03:10] I don't know much about grub jrs5fg [03:11] how do I suspend grub, jrs5fg? [03:11] cooper77z, you dont [03:11] cooper77z: grub only runs once, and that's when you boot [03:12] okay so I created a dedicated /boot partition at install... [03:12] which apparently overwrote whatever was installed at /boot [03:12] like the kernel [03:12] bazhang, how do I make gui cease and go back to command line? [03:12] jrs5fg: i think ubuntu is very easy to set up and install. it works every time. [03:12] cooper77z, for what purpose [03:12] yes but I really don't want to reinstall it [03:12] like everything's set up [03:12] to free up ram for cinelerra, bazhang [03:12] except that /boot is essentially empty === Mr is now known as Guest37651 [03:13] well I've restored some of it [03:13] like the kernels [03:13] but stage1 doesn't exist. [03:13] cooper77z, you want to use cinelerra with out a desktop environment? [03:13] jrs5fg: the installer only formats a partition if you tell it to [03:13] ola [03:13] yes, because I don't have very much ram bazhang [03:13] !grub > jrs5fg [03:13] jrs5fg, please see my private message [03:13] hi [03:13] cooper77z, that does not make sense [03:13] someone can help me [03:13] hello [03:13] why not bazhang?

For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free [03:14] cooper77z, it is self-evident [03:14] I was told differently, but it could have been errant lstanes [03:14] is someone known the way to check RAM's manufacturer by command? [03:14] cooper77z: have you tried a lightweight window manager such as fluxbox? [03:14] jrib -- the partition is formatted tho [03:15] it's just blank [03:15] and overwrote the original /boot mount point [03:15] will I have a choice at startup which window manager to use lstarnes? [03:15] basically how do I get stage1 back? [03:15] jrs5fg: right, I told you about the installer for teh future. Read ubottu's grub instructions on how to reinstall grub [03:15] cooper77z: yes, by changing which session you use [03:15] well grub is installed... [03:16] stage1 just isn't where it should be [03:16] will that free up ram for cinelerra, lstarnes? [03:16] jrs5fg: so install it where it should be [03:16] #ubuntu-fr [03:16] I've used grub-install and recreated the system map and everything [03:16] cooper77z: fluxbox uses significantly less ram than gnome or any other full desktop environment [03:16] where do I find stage1...? [03:17] cooper77z: how much swap do you have? [03:17] thanks, lstarnes, I'll meditate on it [03:17] lstarnes, I don't know [03:18] awwww ubutnu community sucks [03:18] cooper77z: check the system monitor or htop [03:18] jrs5fg: wow, follow ubottu's instructions on using the super grub disk. That should work afaik [03:18] maybe gentoo next time [03:18] Tfnrsh: do you have a question? [03:18] checking lstanes [03:19] cooper77z: how much ram do you currently have? [03:19] yes [03:19] actually i got a question [03:19] any body know anything about the new ubuntu operating system after installing the package manager will not open i get an error [03:19] Tfnrsh: so ask your ubuntu support question [03:19] masterofhate: version 9.04? [03:19] lstarnes, 384 shadow, whatever that means and 256 cache, whatever that means [03:19] yes [03:19] masterofhate: what is the error? [03:20] im running jaunty amd64 and bzr doesnt work [03:20] cooper77z: I would strongly suggest getting more ram if you're going to be using applications that use a lot of ram [03:20] !doesn't work | Tfnrsh [03:20] Tfnrsh: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [03:20] nice thanks [03:21] Tfnrsh: you need to provide details so we can help you [03:21] 648 swap lstarnes, I can't afford it right now, it's like $85 for a gig [03:21] ubuntu community sucks :D [03:21] youre another proof [03:21] Tfnrsh, no need for that [03:22] could it be possible that my pc is too slow for ubuntu 9.04? i have a p4 3.2ghz and 640mb ram, ati 64mb vga. could it be my vga is too low??? [03:22] well ubottu won't parse any requests about the super disk... [03:22] Anyone have any experience in Ubuntu icon theme set creation for gnome? [03:22] lstanes? [03:22] cooper77z: I'm not sure what you're asking [03:22] cooper77z, its lstarnes [03:22] sabayonuser: I've run Unreal Tournament on a 32 MB video card [03:22] did the swap tell you anything more, lstarnes, sorry [03:23] cooper77z, please tab complete users nicks [03:23] cooper77z: 648MB? [03:23] yes lstarnes [03:23] tab works bazhang [03:23] cooper77z: that seems like enough swap [03:24] how to setup a password with length of 2 ? what can I do with : /etc/pam.d/ ? [03:24] thanks for the help people :) [03:24] WiiW: 2 characters? [03:24] lstarnes: yes [03:24] WiiW: that is way too short to possibly be secure [03:24] did you known the way to find RAM manufacturer by command line? [03:24] lstarnes: I know [03:24] jrs5fg: is your 9.04 fast? mine is fast when compared to windows. but it's noticeably slow when i tried a different linux distro. [03:24] WiiW: Why not just set the system to autologin if thats the issue. [03:25] I have use dmidecode but the manufacturer is not specified! :( [03:25] I'm trying to setup a preseed file that partitions my drives and makes / and swap encrypted however I can't get the recipe right, can anyone provide some insight? I've tried the "use entire disk and setup lvm and encrypt" however I always get grub error 18 on boot, I think its because the installer for 9.04 doesn't make a separate unencrypted /boot [03:25] linuxguy2009: ok , that's a good way [03:26] Stupid vi question, anyway to get out of edit mode without using esc?? [03:27] another question... if I'm encrypting my entire / parition it's not necessary to encrypt my home directory right? [03:27] what program in ubuntu that is like winamp? [03:27] yea Brian_H you realy need to make a boot partition [03:27] mataks, audacious [03:27] can any one help me with installing pokerth? [03:27] Brian_H: encrypting the "/" root folder is everything. Unless you have a seperate home partition, it will be encrypted also. [03:28] Brian_H you could also use trucript [03:28] thepeon: some people use ctrl-[. Personally, I swap escape with CapsLock on my keyboard [03:28] bazhang, ok thnx [03:28] psywiped, linuxguy2009: thanks, I'm trying to setup a preseed file that does all of these choices for me but am having some dificullty getting the d-i paritioning part down [03:29] can any one help me with upgrading from 0.6.4 to 0.7.1 pokerth? [03:29] hi [03:29] I see examples for regular paritioning, but none for setting up a regular /boot parition, and then encrypted / and swap === channelbot is now known as krismanto [03:30] can i know the package name mirc for linux test? [03:30] its exist or not? [03:30] mataks: Visit your add/remove list and look through the Sound & Video catagory for a list of options. Rhythmbox comes by default and thats what I use. [03:30] krismanto: try xchat instead [03:30] i use ubuntu jaunty..there is mirc for ubuntu text? [03:30] xchat? [03:30] okay [03:30] jrib:thanks [03:30] krismanto: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:30] ok.. maybe my username offends you people. it came up automatically when i booted a different distro using usb "live cd." is there a way to make my ubutnu 9.04 faster? [03:30] jrib:know something about eggdrop [03:30] Any clue what's wrong with this?: http://pastebin.com/d21ff2461 - I'm trying to add a user with the useradd command and arguments listed in --help, yet it errors telling me the possible arguments [03:31] krismanto: ask the channel and see :) [03:31] sabayonuser: no [03:31] jrib thanks, that helped. Stuck with awn's terminal interface (esc minimizes the window) [03:31] raar: looks to me like you aren't passing the LOGIN part [03:31] when 9.10 login to gnome desktop , I saw it used my memory is 212MB , is it normal ?

[03:32] what is the 'best' distro to run on a eee pc 1000he [03:32] the standard build or some custom eee build ? [03:32] mataks: yes you can right click the top bar and add a window selector to it I think [03:32] mataks: Theres tons of tutorials for panel customization on google its been asked a million times. [03:33] jrib: ahhh, I see.. silly me, I had all the options right but forgot the main part :( thanks! [03:33] then delete the bottom panel [03:33] linuxguy2009: 9.10 is so faster , from power on to login to desktop , it is only 15 second [03:33] WiiW: What are you telling me for? hehe [03:33] !karmic | WiiW [03:33] WiiW: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [03:34] jrib: ok , I see [03:34] anyone ?

Go to Applications menu, Add/Remove and search in the Sound & Video for apps. [03:38] mataks: Also have you tried the default Rhythmbox? [03:38] how can i adjust my laptop fan to make it always run at full speed? [03:39] kfan: Perhaps the BIOS setup? Might be set to a power saving setting.

[04:03] Ok. I have an ATI Radeon HD 4870, and upon installing Ubuntu, it requests that I install restricted drivers to use the full potential of the card. Upon installing the drivers, my display flickers on startup and whenever I attempt to change the screen resolution. [04:04] hello [04:04] CShadowRun: You can select what apps startup. What else do you want? [04:04] linuxguy2009, i want the sessions menu, so that i can stop gnome-panel from automatically being restarted [04:04] I tried installing other drivers, and once I reboot after installing them, Ubuntu won't even boot.

[04:06] duncan, when 9.10 comes out you upgrade from 9.04 if you want [04:06] linuxguy2009, not really, theres plenty of alternatives (awn, cairo, etc) [04:06] i'm planning to use awn or cairo, havn't decided yet [04:06] CShadowRun: If your Cairo crashes how do you restart it without gnme panel menus? [04:06] is awn a ram eater? [04:06] can someone recommend a good virtualization system. I need to run windows (under my linux) for the adobe CS suite and Internet Explorer (web testing) [04:06] linuxguy2009, from a tty?

[04:07] jrib: do you use it? [04:07] j0rd_: sure [04:07] [04:07] jrib: better than vmware? [04:07] linuxguy2009, ctrl + alt + FX allows you to switch ttys [04:07] you are in TTY 7 [04:07] j0rd_: try both and use what is better for you [04:07] CShadowRun: Just change desktop environments. Easy as that. You cant remove gnome panel. [04:08] linuxguy2009, you used to be able to, before jaunty -.- [04:08] i need a virtual program for windows also but with USB [04:08] it used to be right there in the sessions dialog [04:08] jrib: don't have that kind of time, which is why i'm asking here for advice [04:08] CShadowRun: Google it. I did and couldnt find anything before. [04:08] jrib: but i'll look into vbox and how it works with Adobe CS [04:08] jrib: thanks [04:08] j0rd_: vbox should work fine [04:08] linuxguy2009, i've done alot of googling unfortunatly it's all out of date information for intrepid and below, where the sessions dialog is still there [04:08] linuxguy2009, you can stop using the panels. [04:09] bastidrazor: K dude fill us in. [04:09] or better yet is there a simple way to upgade the 9.04 kernel to 2.6.30? [04:09] without breaking everything [04:09] does vbox have usb support? [04:09] duncan, yea you can but i dont have a link [04:09] hay dear [04:09] linuxguy2009, right click the panel and select delete. panel in gone. [04:09] kfan: The on ein the repos no. On vbox.org yes. [04:09] [04:09] k [04:10] will firefox3.5 be the default in karmic does anyone know? [04:10] bastid_razor, hehe, i actually need to stop the gnome-panel process, as it takes the notification area [04:10] bastidrazor: Yeah that kills one. What about the second. hehe [04:10] bastidrazor: Brickwalled [04:10] boss_mc: #ubuntu+1 for karmic discussion please [04:10] boss_mc, yes it will [04:10] jrib: ah, forgot that one, going there now, cheers [04:11] boss_mc: I think theres an Ubuntu+1 room or something for that. [04:12] CShadowRun, you can delete the applet on the top panel that has notificatoins [04:12] Is there any way I can get my ATI Radeon HD 4870 working on Ubuntu with fan control as well? without screen flickering or garbled color screen on boot? [04:12] hmm... [04:12] I'm on Windows right now, too. Ubuntu won't even boot. [04:12] got ubuntu server (x64) installed into my laptop, trying to figure out how to apt-get install kubuntu-9.04-alternate-i386 [04:12] bastidrazor, yea, that makes gnome-panel crash (and then repeatidly crash and restart itself), gotta love gnome-panel. That's why i'm trying to get rid of it...it's so buggy -.- [04:12] Burned that into CD [04:12] urifu: 9.04 wont boot? [04:13] Every time I boot I get garbled colors. I installed CCC from Synaptic and after I rebooted, all I got was garbled color and no login screen. I saw the Ubuntu loading screen though. [04:13] my laptop isn't connected via wireless yet, so no network connection to do apt-get install kubuntu-desktop === Al1_ is now known as conor [04:14] CShadowRun: Gnome panel keep reapearing not cause of a bug. Its programmed into it. Panel is a must have. [04:14] linuxguy2009 no it's not, theres many, many alternatives to gnome-panel [04:14] CShadowRun: i didnt say there wasnt. [04:14] CShadowRun, have you tried unchecking 'indicator applet' in startup programs? [04:14] and it's not a must have because i did without it for long periods of time in hardy, and intrepid [04:14] CShadowRun: You can nolt kill the last gnome panel no matter what you do. [04:15] how do I configure apt to also include CD, I ran apt-cdrom add, it couldn't find anything from kubuntu-9.04-alternate-i386 CD [04:15] linuxguy2009 i did it fine in hardy and intrepid [04:15] CShadowRun: Were on 9.04 now. Cant do it. [04:15] bastidrazor, what's the indicator applet? [04:15] shh :P === saulus_ is now known as SauLus === fartbooger is now known as lolcat420 [04:16] could be a safety feature for those people who accidentally removed all their panels and couldn't right click on one to add another. [04:16] CShadowRun: Well then quit asking about it. [04:16] kit_: Your exactly right. It would render there system seemingly dead. [04:16] linuxguy2009 just because you don't know the answer to something, doesn't mean that i can't have a conversation with someone else who may be able to solve the problem, please stop. [04:17] hey, i wanna update from ubuntu 8.04.1 to the latest, and i read that i should make sure that everything's updated as much as 8.x can before doing the dist upgrade.. anyone know what i absolutely have to update before trying to upgrade? [04:17] bastidrazor, whats the indicator applet? :) [04:17] CShadowRun, that is the applet that runs in the gnome panel [04:17] ah, i see [04:17] CShadowRun: Then quit putting my name on your messages to other people. [04:17] did I get the wrong package? [04:17] !print > yitehay [04:17] yitehay, please see my private message [04:18] who was asking about removing all their gnome panels / [04:18] ok [04:18] hmm [04:18] The indicator applet doesnt run the gnome panel. The gnome panel runs the applets. [04:18] Little backwards there. [04:18] LinuxGold: i'm googling a little on that now.. [04:18] bastidrazor i've removed it from startup but that process isn't running right now so i doubt it's restarting gnome-panel [04:18] ok [04:19] So nobody has any idea on what I should do? [04:19] i'll try restarting X, be back in a second. (I'll stay online, bouncer. But i won't get messages) [04:20] Is there some specific issue with the ATI Radeon HD 4870 and Linux? It used to work but now it doesn't function correctly. [04:21] LinuxGold: what exactly does it say when you try apt-cdrom add? [04:21] 0 packages found [04:22] ah [04:23] Sucess! it's gone [04:23] . [04:23] thanks bastidrazor [04:23] CShadowRun, nice, glad i could help [04:23] also if I upgrade my kernel to 2.6.30 or higher is there anything else I need to rebuild against it for compatability? [04:23] LinuxGold: maybe the second post here? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=837209 [04:24] checking it out... [04:24] LinuxGold, are you trying to install using the alternate iso by using aptoncd? or adding the cd as a repo to do that? [04:25] CShadowRun, gconf-editor is a powerful tool, in the future you could dig around there too.. apps/panel holds all the configurations for the gnome-panel [04:25] aha! [04:25] !panels [04:25] To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [04:25] ill try that one [04:25] cool [04:25] bazhang: I haven't tried aptoncd... [04:25] bastidrazor, it was the applet that did it in the end, anyway :) [04:25] I'm too used with untar, make make install, blah.. [04:25] LinuxGold, is that your goal? [04:26] CShadowRun, yeah, my thinking was the applet was causing errors whent he panel wasn't there.. the indicator applet is on a time delayed start [04:26] brb as I try aptoncd and 2nd post mentioned earlier [04:26] thanks -- brb [04:26] hello [04:26] hi [04:26] i would like to ask how to configure Upstart to run Apache2 [04:27] or is there any script/port to use Apache2 with Upstart? [04:27] bastidrazor, it could also have been some key i removed in gconf-editor earlier [04:27] but yea, it's gone now, now i can just choose between awn and cairo :D [04:27] http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ mojo_ have you seen this [04:28] bazhang, funky [04:28] CShadowRun, the reset panels command? === hazza is now known as n00b101 [04:28] CShadowRun, i'm fond of cairo-dock [04:29] bazhang: yes I have [04:29] bazhang, huh? [04:29] bastidrazor, hehe, i'm gonna give it a whirl, i'm a crazy quad screen user, so alot of panels don't work (gnome-panel, for example :D) [04:29] I would like to ask if anyone here has Upstart native job rule for Apache2 so I could replace the Apache2 initscript version, thanks alot [04:29] how would you record and store logons, passwords and security access for users in a workplace environment? [04:30] CShadowRun, the repo version is a bit old.. they have debs of more recent releases with better effects [04:30] n00b101, are you talking about automatic login? [04:30] bastidrazor, cool, got a link? [04:30] n00b101, or a secure password storage utility [04:30] hey, i wanna update from ubuntu 8.04.1 to the latest, and i read that i should make sure that everything's updated as much as possible before doing the dist upgrade.. anyone know what i absolutely have to update before trying to upgrade? [04:31] CShadowRun secure pw storage utility [04:31] william56, it would be a good idea to update everything [04:31] id think [04:31] n00b101, i recommend keepassx, it's in the repos, i use it for all my login information, it stores it all encrypted, i have a diffrent password for every single service i use (and thus have about 600 unique passwords) [04:31] jrib: you know if vbox can run an existing version of windows on a different partition? from what i'm reading it appears not [04:31] shoot [04:31] william56, yes [04:32] CShadowRun, http://tinyurl.com/njj9xv install the dock first then the plugins.. sudo dpkg -i filename.deb [04:32] CShadowRun, thanks. one last question, does it work on windows servers aswell? or would i need something different [04:32] bastidrazor, no ppa? D: [04:32] bazhang: ?? [04:32] n00b101 keepass is cross platform, theres a version for just about everything from pocket pcs to opensolaris === vrizlle is now known as vraa [04:33] has anyone else here had issues with Bluetooth disappearing in jaunty? [04:33] CShadowRun, i've not looked for a ppa.. i just snag the debs from the developers themselves. [04:33] nice thanks [04:33] it was working fine for me and then just vanished... [04:33] adapter is showing as ok --> Bluetooth: HCI device and connection manager initialized [04:33] when I switch to another user using "su ". Is there a log so I can check? [04:35] Overloaded: you should be using sudo -i -u [04:35] Overloaded: try /var/log/auth.log [04:37] lstarnes: nothing in my auth.log. The point is..someone may be loggin with my user and noone knows. thats bad :( [04:37] bastidrazor, deb http://repository.cairo-dock.org/ubuntu jaunty cairo-dock wget -q http://repository.cairo-dock.org/cairo-dock.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add - [04:37] shiney :) [04:37] maybe you should disable remote login [04:38] Overloaded: make sure that your password is secure [04:38] when using 'lshw' what does 'Device Not Claimed' Mean?? [04:38] CShadowRun, nice. [04:39] <^Phantom^> Hi. [04:39] <^Phantom^> Wrong chat actually. [04:39] <^Phantom^> Well, maybe. [04:39] CShadowRun, what version is the ppa offering? 2.0.8? [04:40] lstarnes: oh there's SULOG_FILE in /etc/login.defs. Just uncommented. think it'll work now [04:40] <^Phantom^> I have an old laptop hard drive (it's 500 or so MB in size) that I want to format and put DSL on, but I'm afraid it might have a virus on it. If it does, can it infect my CMOS? [04:40] bastidrazor, dunno yet, i seem to be hanging while wgetting the gpg key :( [04:41] <^Phantom^> Or is there any safe way to remove and insert an internal drive WHILE UBUNTU IS RUNNING? [04:41] bastidrazor, darn, i think that repo is dead, lol [04:42] CShadowRun, https://launchpad.net/~matthaeus123/+archive/ppa ..not sure how well this guy is trusted but launchpad hosts his ppa. [04:43] <^Phantom^> Would I be safe unplugging my internal hard drive after unmounting it from within Ubuntu? [04:43] * macgyver_ is stressing out.... [04:43] <^Phantom^> And plug in another one [04:43] bastidrazor, hehe looks ok to me, he seems to package alot of fun stuff [04:43] Has anyone sucessfully installed Listen? [04:44] you mean Hotplugging [04:44] <^Phantom^> fsda, I guess [04:44] I just updated firefox from conical and it is now slower than hell... had to go to Opera to browse the Internet [04:44] CShadowRun, i would definitely recommend use at your own risk.. any ppa is that way, imo [04:44] obtel: so? [04:44] <^Phantom^> fsda, i run ubuntu on an external drive [04:44] bastidrazor, indeed [04:44] CShadowRun: ppas work just fine [04:44] SO? Why? [04:45] obtel: who can tell from your informed blurt? [04:45] all, is there a way I can find out what is up with my Bluetooth? [04:45] <^Phantom^> fsda: so would i be safe to swap out two internal drives using an unmount command on the internal one that is presently plugged in? [04:46] macgyver_: noone can tell anyting from "what is up?" [04:46] I do not know [04:46] #ubuntu-fr [04:46] bastidrazor, yay xinerama support :D [04:47] the volume buttons on my laptop stopped working after having connected my bluetooth headphones. i'm not finding anything in the internets. can i get some direction of where to look? [04:47] Look I'm new to this And I really don'y need the god damned Holy Gee Wiz Im a cumputer Guru Crap... Can anyone tell be how to back todays upgrades out of my cumputer? [04:47] I have rebooted into windows, device is fine, in Ubuntu when I did the initial installation it was there and working ok, after updates and installing some apps (all from the reputable location) it has vanished [04:47] funny part is i think i'm the one who feature requested that god knows how long ago :) [04:47] neither works -- aptoncd is not installed by default. [04:47] <^Phantom^> fdsa i'm nervous to plug it in and boot with it because i don't remember if there is a virus or something on it [04:48] Found 0 package indexes, 0 source indexes, 0 translation indexes and 1 signatures [04:48] darthanubis, I did ask earlier, so I want just throwing a n00bie out there :) [04:48] I would like to ask if anyone here has Upstart native job rule for Apache2 so I could replace the Apache2 initscript version, thanks alot [04:48] obtel: watch your language kid [04:48] my sessions arent saving for some reason. so i tried ticking/toggling the check box that says 'remember running apps' and restarting and even with it ticked/toggled off it starts pidgin on startup and no other app. no matter what i do it remembers pidgin and no other app [04:48] and grow up [04:49] Kid? U got to be kidding me I'm 58 [04:49] <^Phantom^> do i dare boot up with this drive plugged in? [04:49] darthanubis, I think might just run through the install again (no biggie) and see where it disappears [04:49] "Can anyone tell be how to back todays upgrades out of my cumputer?" And learn how to ask a question so that people can understand you, and then itwon't all go over your head [04:50] <^Phantom^> I guess all i can do is try heh [04:50] bbs guys [04:52] !ubuntu studio [04:52] UbuntuStudio is a collection of packages for the artist who wishes to use Ubuntu as their Digital Audio Workstation.

[04:52] I don't have usb boot on my bios,or a cdrom drive* [04:53] Can someone please help me get itunes working for ubuntu [04:53] rufuscure: delete the files or the whole partition, specifically? === amoclr is now known as amocla [04:53] I didn't set up a partition, but if it is I'd like to remove it [04:53] I am searching for reasons to keep running Linux, but I keep finding stuff I cant do that I can do with Windows [04:53] or just remove windows all together idk [04:53] rufuscure, you've installed ubuntu _inside_ windows, inside being the key word here [04:54] if you remove windows, ubuntu is inside windows! you'll remove ubuntu too. [04:54] unholylesson: then linux is not for you. [04:54] is the disk equivalent to top for cmd line disk performance monitoring? [04:54] I used the live cd to install in windows rebooted to ubuntu and finished the installation [04:54] yes, you installed inside windows [04:54] ok [04:54] Well I want to keep it to force myself to learn it and I need help getting iTunes working becuase I need it for my iphone [04:54] how do i get rid of windows now [04:54] you'll need to use the livecd to install outside of windows [04:54] to do that, you boot from the CD [04:55] i just installed ubuntu 9.04 on a hardware raid 1, and when i reboot it basically doesnt recognize my cd [04:55] i don't have a cdrom drive [04:55] during the install you'll have an option to remove windows if you want (in the disk partioning part, selecte use entire disk). [04:55] unholylessons: dual boot? [04:55] rufuscure, ah, is it a modern computer? [04:55] you could boot from USB [04:55] is it a netbook? [04:55] That sounds like an option BUT I already formatted, and now i just have ubuntu [04:55] its an old tough top work computer imma use it to trouble shoot dsl cables outside [04:55] trying to force myself to use it [04:56] ok, buy 2nd desktop for itunes only. [04:56] :) [04:56] dirtyfreebooter: what are you talking about? [04:56] I pulled up an article on how to install itunes but I need someone more linux-intelligent to help me install it [04:56] like....walk me through it maybe [04:56] so...why did noone answer my plea for help re: gtk-gnutella on the gtk-gnutella server? [04:56] I'm not familiar with itunes and linux. [04:56] rufuscure, hmm, does it have a removable hard drive? [04:56] you could put the hd in a diffrent computer, and then install ubuntu [04:56] i could crack it open and take it out maybe [04:56] but u might know how to walk me through this : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone [04:57] rufuscure, it's a tricky one, do you think it might support boot from USB? [04:57] lo all [04:57] you could use a usb drive to install ubuntu that way [04:57] unholylessons: that is a good chance to force yourself to learn how linux works that way. [04:57] hi Symmetria [04:57] i checked the bios and it doesn't [04:57] ah :( [04:57] if you don't think there is a way i could try to find a cdrom online [04:57] yeah but i keep running into walls because i dont understand what the instructions are asking me to do [04:58] rufuscure: shoot...I have a couple old dc-rw drives...I could give you one...where you at? [04:58] how do i check my partitions in ubuntu [04:58] I went here : http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads and downloaded the one for my architecture, but what do i do now [04:58] riverside ca [04:58] rufuscure, there is a way but it's only theory in my mind and i don't know how to fully do it [04:58] rufuscure, gparted [04:58] I'm in Sac [04:58] k hold on [04:58] rufuscure: df -h [04:59] I downloaded a "key" and now I need to run this "sudo apt-key add sun_vbox.asc [04:59] " [04:59] but it doesnt work [04:59] rufuscure: pm me your address and I'll mail one to you [04:59] rufuscure: do you have a USB key with ~800MB free?

[05:05] UnholyLessons, that page is giving you multiple ways to install the program. 1 is to use a deb.. the other is to add a repo [05:06] ohhh [05:06] then it may be installed [05:06] UnholyLessons, in a terminal type virtualbox-3.0 [05:07] whats a good limwire equal on ubuntu [05:07] uknow_, frostwire [05:08] thanks haha i i could think of was frostbite noting poped up hahah [05:08] thanks [05:08] david@david-laptop:~/Desktop$ virtualbox-3.0 [05:08] bash: virtualbox-3.0: command not found [05:08] How can I create a shortcut in alacarte that can launch an application that runs in the terminal???

[06:39] garyson: sudo is a pre-command paramenter for use with any command...it means Super User Do: whatevercommandyoutype [06:39] MikeL, ah ok well then you are going to get an unreasonable number of gnome dependencies with awn [06:39] damn, i don't remember what did debfiles [06:39] but telling people to do make install is stupid [06:39] coz_: 11MB is acceptable - awn was ~260MB [06:39] cwillu: how do i change that setting? [06:40] MikeL, and unless openbox has a compositor onboard you will have to use fake transperancy with cairo-dock [06:40] stryker, go to about:config in the browser, and find the relevant string, or add it (new -> integer) if its not there [06:40] ohh [06:40] oka [06:40] okay* [06:40] checkinstall* [06:40] coz_: xcompmgr [06:40] garyson: you just type it in before your command, then it will ask for your password, you type that in (you will see no output when typing in your password) hit enter and the command should work [06:40] MikeL, right that is because of the extra gnome dependecies it would require [06:40] MikeL, ok then cairo dock should work but I have not tried it on openbox ever [06:40] coz_: ok... that thing is nice [06:40] let me check [06:41] garyson: example: sudo pico filename [06:41] hi ...

I guess I got your main point. But could you please tell me what a filesystem access user ID is? The output column 'FUSER' lists entries such as 'root', 'daemon', 'syslog'. I believe that 'root', 'daemon', 'syslog' are no filesystems. A filesystem may be ext3, ext4, fat32. Please resolve my misunderstanding. [07:03] gartral: last 2 are nvidia settings configuration and DFP-0 (Seiko), the latter being a sub selection of 'GPU-0' [07:03] loesh, this discouraging attitude <: [07:03] eh [07:04] all I did was Ctrl+Alt+F1 , sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop .. sudo sh NVIDIAxxxx .. sudo reboot. [07:04] losher* [07:04] duryodhan: ok, hit the DFP-0 and tell me the link info that you see..

[07:04] gartral: Flat Panel information [07:05] bullgard4: well, it was an educated guess, based on the man page. I could be completely wrong. The man page does say "if it's available". Maybe it's not supported on your system? [07:05] gartral: and other stuff about flat panel , connection link : dual . chip location : internal , Signal : LVDS [07:05] duryodhan: ya [07:05] gartral: what is all this stuff ? :) [07:06] duryodhan: tech. info.. ok, you should see scaling options there somewhere on the right, yes? [07:06] cNoNim: I agree, but lvm comes at a price i.e. greater complexity, particularly during recovery. So it worries me when I see someone asking how to install it... [07:06] losher: Hmm. I will do more snooping on it. [07:06] /join #lamp2 [07:06] bullgard4: "filesystem access user ID" may refer to the name of the user account being used by the process for accessing the filesystem [07:07] gartral: yeah and it is selected to 'Stretched' [07:07] So i installed virtual machine in order to run itunes, but now I have to install windows on it? [07:07] why cant WINE just work with itunes damn it [07:07] lstarnes: Ah! Thank you for explaining. [07:07] bullgard4: lstarnes: hmm. It *does* say it's a *user* id, so that does make sense... [07:08] gartral: it says the scaling comes in only if frontend and backend resolutions are different [07:08] UnholyLessons, wine page says it works [07:08] So, I don't have a blank CD to burn an iso for super grub...is there anyway I can fix Grub Error 17 without a CD? [07:08] gartral: which in my case they are not [07:08] UnholyLessons|> because mac is like ms in that aspect [07:08] and maby low support [07:08] losher: recovery after what? [07:08] duryodhan: ok.. turn on Force full GPU scaling... and when you go back into the game, select a lower resolution, and it will sale too look right [07:08] cNoNim: after file system errors... [07:08] it keeps giving me error during install...all i do is double click the itunessetup.exe and click next all the way through and it errors [07:08] Hi All. Running 9.04, running into a Mouse/Trackpad issue. Running on a Dell Vostro. Everything was working fine, but I disabled some unnecessary services. I.E. apache. Now the Mouse/Trackpad doesn't work. I tried plugging in an external USB mouse, but still no luck. [07:08] gartral: ok [07:09] gartral: will try that .. I will need to restart X right .. ? [07:09] xShadowx: got a live install CD? You can run grub from it... [07:09] I ran a sysvconfig and added back any of the services I disabled, but still no luck. [07:09] UnholyLessons|> Do you have to use itunes? [07:09] Any suggestions? [07:09] DVA5912, no, he doesn't [07:09] duryodhan: only if it says so, though, you probably wont have too [07:09] Yes, I'm booted off that now. [07:09] gartral: also , online there is talk about setting useEDID to false .. is that also something I should try ? do you have idea about what that does ? [07:10] hi there [07:10] gartral: Foce Full GPU scaling is already active [07:10] bullgard4: just so that you know, that was purely an inference based on the provided description in the manual page [07:10] I'm newbie here [07:10] How do I run grub from it? i need to make it recognize Vista. I dual booted with Kubuntu, did something wrong, got grub error 22, uninstalled Kubuntu using the live CD and gparted, then got grub error 17.. [07:10] duryodhan: yea, tht will cause the card too ignore the EDID info about your monitor, it can be tryed, but may or may not give the effect your looking for.. [07:10] I want tochange look of my ubuntu to smth new [07:11] bullgard4: lstarnes: it makes more sense than my over complicated theory though... [07:11] Are there any GUI applications that allow you to configure X devices? i.e. a gui version of xinput [07:11] where can I get help for this ? [07:11] gartral: well the force full GPU scaling didn't work .. maybe I should try the Edid thing [07:11] lstarnes: Your comment is helpful for me, anyway. [07:11] !grub | xShadowx [07:11] xShadowx: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows?

I will need to restart X to see the EDID option take effect .. hopefully nothing breaks ..thanks bye [07:13] duryodhan: good luck [07:13] eboyjr: DaZ what I need to do, folks ? [07:13] huffman: Maybe this? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1060393 [07:13] Hi, Folks! [07:14] Help me join Ubuntu fileserver to Ubuntu PDC. [07:14] Antaranian, gnome-look ? [07:14] Okay, thanks, how would I add Vista to it? I was told that I should use a recovery disc to run the fixmbr command...is that another option? Oh and I have a USB stick...could I possibly fix the mbr that way? [07:14] Antaranian: Okay, you can navigate to http://gnome-look.org/ and click on Metacity and GTK+2.0 themes [07:15] thanks, let me look at it [07:15] eboyjr: Checking it out, thanks [07:16] xShadowx, you can install ubuntu on usb stick and recover windows mbr with windows cd [07:16] hm, or* [07:16] Ok, so could I put super grub on it and boot from that? [07:17] xShadowx, yes, you need to run fixmbr, however, this kills grub, so you then need to reinstall grub, if both linux and vista are installed. [07:17] xShadowx, get ubuntu iso and unetbootin [07:17] and read about grub recovery from livecd [07:17] hello, how do I run cinelerra from command prompt? [07:17] hey can anyone help me really quick with a battery problem? [07:18] without graphical yadayada? [07:18] torturedsoul, get windows [07:18] quick enough? [07:18] lol, have it on my desktop [07:18] only problem i have is battery state wont display [07:18] everythings gone pink [07:19] Ok so right now, only Vista is installed. I'm booted from a liveCD. Is there a program I can get that I can make my PC boot from a USB just so I can fix windows for now? I have this http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/windows-vista-recovery-disc-download/ [07:19] or purple [07:19] went to /proc/acpi/battery/bat0 [07:19] the files have no info in them [07:19] xShadowx, unetbootin [07:19] eboyjr: Cool, that is pretty much what I was looking for. I take it there is no standard app that ubuntu users use (or is distributed with Ubuntu)? [07:20] huffman: No, but it would be nice.. maybe in the next release it will be pushed. Who knows? :) [07:21] please help me get rid of excess gui to run cinelerra with most ram available to program. [07:22] eboyjr: Well, I'm mainly looking to add support for devel features of X, so I *was* hoping there was some standard app I could add to and just push the patch to the devs... Looks like it will have to mostly be done from scratch. [07:22] Is there a way to completely replace firefox-3.0 with firefox-3.5 on Jaunty?

[07:24] anyone here using clonezilla? Can you vouch for its ability to backup and restore multiple partitions in one disk image? [07:24] cooper77z: sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop might do it. At your own risk... [07:24] losher: that does hardly anything [07:25] what is the risk losher? [07:25] cooper77z: the risk is that your X11 will stop working & you won't be able to recover... [07:25] cooper77z, meeting with the console [07:25] I got an problem with my laptop Amilo 1705, i followed this guide http://www.amilo-forum.com/topic,1065,30,-Amilo-Li1705-No-sound-from-headphone-jack.html - so i can listen music thru my spearks and it WORKS! But the music is jumping and dont sound good at all :/ someone who knows how to fix that? [07:25] I know how to reinstall gnome, it that's the risk losher [07:26] richardcavell: cooper77z: odd, ubottu says it's how you install gnome. You'd think it would work in reverse too... [07:27] hi everyone [07:27] it doesn't, gnome won't leave losher [07:27] losher: it doesn't [07:27] richardcavell: cooper77z: time to start googling 'ubuntu remove gnome' then... [07:27] cooper77z, remove gtk2 or something like that, with every dependency [07:27] been there done that lasher [07:28] losher: Do what I did. Try to fix it by manually removing packages from the root shell until you start getting kernel panics and can't boot at all. Then spend the weekend reinstalling all over again. [07:28] sudo apt-get remove metacity chould do the trick [07:28] ? [07:28] losher: [07:29] richardcavell, cool [07:29] richardcavell: cooper77z: no need to apologize. Been there.... [07:29] the only thing I can think of is to decide on the programs I want, then reformat and run only from command prompt [07:30] cooper77z: well, if ram usage is the issue, you don't have to actually uninstall gnome, you just have to stop it running. That's easier... [07:30] * Symmetria groans [07:31] so,lasher, if I stop gnome in terminal and terminal says ok, does that mean gnome stopped hogging ram? [07:31] :( my test file transfer died at 3.2 terabytes [07:31] wget crashed [07:31] 3.2 terabytes o.O [07:31] -c? :f [07:31] what were you transfering? [07:31] mattwj2002: that's a lot of pr0n [07:31] :P [07:32] heh, a 10 terabyte sparse test file [07:32] :O [07:32] I'm testing our new south africa -> london circuit [07:32] wow [07:33] is that the one on wikipedia? [07:33] unfortunately the server I'm using for the download can't go any further :( [07:33] ooops further/faster [07:33] its still using less than 10% of the line capacity [07:33] which one on wikipedia? [07:33] get 10 servers on both sides? [07:33] thats my windows response :) [07:33] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SEACOM_(cable_system) [07:33] heh windows, just gonna get a much much bigger server to stick in there for testing [07:34] mattwj2002, yeah, I have a 10G circuit on that system [07:34] cooper77z: if you stop gnome from inside a terminal (running under gnome), you will lose your xsession entirely. That's not what you want. If you want to run an X application, you basically need an X server and a window manager. Many people who want to conserve resources switch to Xfce I believe. [07:34] nice :D [07:34] 0% [ ] 32,026,498,776 84.5M/s eta 38h 8m [07:34] ;p thats a test thats currently running [07:35] Symmetria: I got kicked off my University server yesterday for downloading Half-Life 2 over steam after 1.5 Gigs.

[07:35] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Router [07:35] I have a server losher [07:35] cooper77z: I thought you said you want to conserve ram so you can run cinelerra? [07:35] hey I can't get my nvidia drivers to load...i get this error at startup... http://img38.imageshack.us/i/helpizj.jpg/ does anyone know what I can do to fix it [07:35] richardcavell you mean they shutoff your port? [07:35] I do, losher [07:36] mattwj2002: yep [07:36] universities suck [07:36] haha I've moved 22 terabytes of data this weekend just testing crap [07:36] when it comes to that [07:36] :( [07:36] mattwj2002: I think it happened automatically because I was wardriving at midnight [07:36] cooper77z: cinelerra is an X application. It requires a running X server to execute. With me so far? [07:36] :P [07:36] sitting in my car with the heater on outside the building, using wifi [07:36] l33ching Half-Life 2 [07:36] are you talking about gui or os, losher [07:37] I can't seem to be able to revive my wireless connection after suspend. I wonder if someone else is having the same problem. Input wanted.

[07:37] richardcavell, well, at least I don't feel alone anymore! [07:38] okay, i've been doing this all day and i have school starting tomorrow. the issue i'm having is setting up my netbook (which receives a wireless signal) as a router to my desktop (because i don't have a network cable long enough to reach in here). IE: Internet Connection Sharing. I have done it with my Mac in the past, but it's pretty much dead these days, so I know a wireless signal can be routed to a desktop. Could anyon [07:39] how do I get rid of gnome for a session? [07:39] roracle [07:39] richardcavell, I pretty much can imagine what they do, indeed. I don't know where to poke to get 'em running, though. [07:39] yes sir [07:39] cooper77z: neither. I think you need to do some reading. You sound very confused about gui, os, X, desktops, window managers and gnome. [07:39] do you want to do that with ubuntu? [07:39] cooper77z, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [07:39] lgc: often involves modprobe [07:39] internet sharing I mean? [07:39] yes i do. my netbook has ubuntu 9.04 on it and the desktop has that and windows on it [07:39] I want my command prompt back without gnome, losher [07:39] lgc: you'll have to google it because I don't know enough to help you myself. [07:39] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Router [07:39] cooper77z, you cannot use cinelerra without an X server; this was explained several hours ago [07:39] I was just talking about this [07:39] :) [07:40] kindofabuzz, been there done that [07:40] this is pretty advance though [07:40] :) [07:40] that's fine as long as the instructions are there [07:40] cooper77z, well that's how to do it. don't know what to tell you [07:40] how to use two way interface shorewall [07:40] cooper77z: I don't think I can help you, sorry... [07:40] i tried using firestarter and dhcpd and all that with failure around every corner [07:40] thanks for trying losher, different individuals have different teks and methods, and ideas of reality :) [07:41] richardcavell, do such scripts do more than waking the wireless connection? [07:41] wat about webmin [07:41] here is another easier guide too [07:41] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EasyRouter [07:41] lgc: they do whatever you put in the script [07:41] lgc: on Macbook typically we have to restart wireless and Bluetooth [07:41] roracle: firestarter can do it [07:42] How can I completely replace firefox-3.0 with firefox-3.5 in Ubuntu 9.04? [07:42] nomad77: good advice. === yoyo is now known as towtruckbob [07:42] richardcavell, oh, I see. [07:42] nomad77: just use the wizard on firestarter [07:42] test [07:42] I would like to ask if anyone here has Upstart native job rule for Apache2 so I could replace the Apache2 initscript version, thanks alot [07:42] bazhang, they said I don't need gui to run cinelerra! [07:42] well, firestarter keeps telling me i have a problem. i think my dhcp server is messed up or something [07:42] roracle: buy a long cable & stop wasting your time. If you were paying even a tiny fraction of what support really costs, you wouldn't think twice about doing it any other way... [07:42] unforgiven512, 3.5 is already in Jaunty [07:42] Gah. Irssi is frustrating. [07:42] I like IRSSI Dx [07:42] alexchan: Need help? :) [07:43] unforgiven512, you cannot replace it; it is a separate package [07:43] I'm learning it slowly Eboyjr. =) [07:43] kindofabuzz: yes, I know this. however it is called shiretoko, and it's exectuable name is firefox-3.5 [07:43] cooper77z, well they were wrong, so please let it drop. [07:43] brb, i need a cig [07:43] unforgiven512: it's called something different for legal reasons [07:43] ok bazhang, will do :) [07:43] I know, but if I remove package "firefox" [07:43] unforgiven512, it will just be re-installed [07:44] unforgiven512, http://ubuntuzilla.wiki.sourceforge.net/ [07:44] anyone here use clonezilla and can vouch for it being able to restore a whole disk with multiple partitions? [07:44] kindofabuzz, no need for that, it is in the repos [07:44] bye bye for now [07:44] :) [07:44] So there's no way to give firefox-3.5 the official firefox branding, as well as the executable name "firefox" rather than firefox-3.5 [07:45] unforgiven512: well you can download the official version from mozilla.com [07:45] there is a need if you want mozilla's version and not ubuntus [07:45] i have a quick question, i have 4 virtual desktops with compiz, how can i change the desktop background for each? [07:45] can someone help me with nvidia drivers...http://img38.imageshack.us/i/helpizj.jpg/ [07:45] I just enjoy the convenience of the apt repositories [07:46] stryker, you can't with compiz i don't think. you have to use another app for that [07:46] kindofabuzz: i see, do you know what app is that? [07:47] stryker, no, google is your friend =) [07:47] you gave me a good starting road :D thanks! [07:47] Hi guys, anyone here with a Panasonic dp-180 Workio? [07:47] stryker, you may wish to find out for certain by joining the #compiz channel [07:47] hi all [07:47] bazhang: i tried, but no one responded [07:48] when i run googleearth screen turns black i think maybe is my video card driver has this happen to anyone? [07:48] stryker, it may take more than 2-3 minutes [07:48] bazhang: i see, well, thanks [07:49] yesitisjustme: not me === Wajih is now known as MaWaLe [07:49] ok [07:49] yesitisjustme: what video setup do you have?

[07:51] I need help with my xorg.conf with nvidia drivers [07:51] richardcavell, if he is on 9.04, it's the open source driver, not fglrx. [07:51] Bob_Dole: Okay [07:51] richardcavell, can i set grsync to run everyday at a specific hour? [07:51] what is wrong q- collective? [07:51] Bob_Dole: again I don't know much about it [07:51] itai_michaelson: No, for that I'd use cron [07:51] anyone? [07:52] cooper77z: well, my brothers' laptop, he's RaWolf inhere btw, has such a card and Ubuntu 9.04 doesn't seem to be able to make it working [07:52] richardcavell, i thought so, thats why i want to know the right syntax for the sync command [07:52] I'm a bit puzzled [07:52] does he have the driver on cd or disk Q- collective? [07:53] richardcavell, basically i want to copy sdc1 into sdc2 ,thats it [07:53] cooper77z: we installed the driver via system -> administration -> hardware drivers [07:53] okay [07:53] this is really bothering me [07:54] why is surfing the web such a disaster in ubuntu [07:54] works for me [07:54] p4 2.4ghz 2 gigs of ram [07:54] maybe try using the windows for wireless program, Q- collective?

[07:54] markmq: how does it perform poorly? [07:55] babyshambles, did you add the repos? [07:55] it chugs along when multiple tabs are open [07:55] there is a linux program that allows you to install windows wireless drivers q- collective [07:55] richardcavell, will rsync -ax --delete --force /sdc1 /sdc2 be correct? [07:55] hi all [07:55] it even has a problem with crap sites like dig [07:55] itai_michaelson: okay. I'm not the expert at it. I relied on grsync to keep my backup and it didn't work to restore when I needed it, so I'm disavowing it [07:55] kindofabuzz : yes i did [07:55] load time is atrocious [07:55] richardcavell, ok [07:55] itai_michaelson: I'm going to image-based backup [07:55] itai_michaelson: clonezilla [07:55] scrolling pages screeches to a halt a majority of the time [07:56] cooper77z: you're referring to b43-fwcutter? [07:56] many a time it goes grey and askes for a force quit [07:56] I have no sound in ubuntu linux..How do i fix that [07:56] richardcavell, but i'm backing up data not / [07:56] compiz or no compiz same effect [07:56] is flash purely to blame? [07:56] no, it's called window wireless drivers, q- collective [07:56] syntax: alsamixer? [07:56] for some reason gparted seriously lags after about 7 minutes in it. any ideas? [07:56] its not because flash block doesn't help much [07:57] itai_michaelson: okay, so sdc1 is mounted as /home or something, is it? [07:57] lancerocke: what do you mean by lags? [07:57] cooper77z: and where can I find it? :x [07:57] I've even enlisted the help of noscript and yesscript to stop the javascript from bogging it down [07:57] lancerocke: sometimes it takes ages but as long as it's working, let it work [07:57] richardcavell, mounted as /data and the other partition as /backup [07:57] richardcavell, the mouse and everything moves slowly [07:57] its a train wreck the only one that performs somewhat adequately is chromium with its unofficial release [07:57] itai_michaelson: okay [07:57] with no flash support [07:57] you can find it in synaptic and in add/remove Q- collective [07:58] itai_michaelson: well I'd be tempted to replace /sdc1 and /sdc2 in your command with /data and /backup [07:58] itai_michaelson: keep them mounted [07:58] I know its not this channels job to try to keep people from running for the hills of comfy windows [07:58] but god almighty what is the deal [07:58] richardcavell, even is i leave it idle without doing any operations then move the mouse it starts lagging [07:58] richardcavell, of course , you are right..... [07:58] my laptop outperforms my system [07:58] which is an antique compared to this [07:59] cooper77z: right, so just run that and it should work? [07:59] my first thought that it was using swap instead of my ram [07:59] lancerocke: can't explain that, man [07:59] but I checked and thats not the case its using about 2 megs of swap and 99% ram [07:59] can someone help me getting my Wine install itunes without error [07:59] bleh [07:59] well, Q- collective, after you install windows for wireless, then find the driver and install it :) ! [07:59] * richardcavell logs off to play Half-Life [07:59] richardcavell, i just found a good HOWTO so i'll follow that : http://www.mikerubel.org/computers/rsync_snapshots/#Rsync.....thaks [08:00] the real question the ubuntu team should be asking themselves. why should web browsing be such a nightmare compared to windows [08:01] 90% of my computer use is geared towards that [08:01] does 9.04 have support for aircards out the box? [08:01] and its a nightmare [08:01] cooper77z: what driver do i need to download? Broadcom406? [08:02] no responses? [08:02] what should i set the base memory size at for a windows xp VM im going to be using for itunes [08:02] should I go back to using lynx? [08:02] markmq: we don't feed trolls...you should go back to windows [08:02] Rawolf, do you have it on disk? [08:02] half of your total UnholyLessons [08:02] mmm nop [08:03] th0r: but thats my point I'm not trying to be a troll per say. although I am being one. [08:03] cooper77z: any clue about using aircards [08:03] It recommends 192MB but I have a total of 3584MB....really half of that? [08:03] th0r: I'm just frustrated and I wish there was an answer out there [08:03] then you will have to find a site you can trust, and dl the driver rawolf [08:03] i have pdf guide but not sure how to do it off fresh install with no internet [08:03] UnholyLessons: try giving it 128 MB then.. nothing will explode if it gets to little memory [08:03] th0r: I feel like my computer is overly equipped to do nothing but browse the web and it struggles to do that in ubuntu [08:03] markqm [08:04] u have to use memtest 1 stick at a time? if so, thats ridiculous [08:04] markmq, what are you talking about? There are but just a few pages, for example those using Microsoft Silverlight, that can't be viewed on Linux. All else is as good or better. I work with two hi-res laptops side by side, and, when I look at the same page, the one on Linux looks much better. Starting from the fonts. [08:04] wireless is inherently insecure kaiser10123 [08:04] lancerocke: I don't think so... but it's been a while since I ran memtest [08:04] lgc I'm not talking about appearance i'm talking about speed [08:05] cooper77z: i know but im using an aircard through sprint and have no other internet [08:05] that's fine [08:05] kaiser [08:05] I like/prefer the appearance of ubuntu to windows [08:05] I love the functionality [08:05] markmq, The flash plugin has issues, so if you are on flash heavy sites, it will be slow [08:05] but that doesn't detract from the sluggish experience [08:05] i setup virtual machine for windowsxp...now do i actually have to install windows with a XP CD or what? [08:06] cooper77z: can i send u guide and u tell me if i can do it without internets [08:06] UnholyLessons: yes [08:06] markmq, mac suffers it too, but it seems to be a lot better on mac than linux. [08:06] markmq, even so, I find no noticeable difference, except backwards: IE8 is soo much slower and soo much inferior than Firefox, for example. [08:06] UnholyLessons: or you can use an iso of an xp install cd [08:06] like maybe go download gnome-ppp as .deb to have it to install [08:06] nope, kaiser, but you can buy another wifi card with a disk :) [08:06] the truly disappointing part of my experience is this [08:07] running vmware windows xp I can get a better web experience than my native linux one [08:07] there is something fundamentally wrong with that [08:07] markmq, I told you, it is flash that is causing that. [08:07] cooper77z: no its not wifi card it connect to cdma [08:07] im installing it now [08:07] well yes I realize that but its also javascript [08:07] and yes I do have flash block [08:07] and yes it does help but only marginally [08:07] what is cdma kaiser? [08:08] how well do virtual machines work and what do people normally use them for [08:08] You can run the windows version of Firefox and Flash under WINE (I last tested with WINE 1.1.23) and it'll be fast [08:08] they work well UnholyLessons [08:08] cooper77z: phone service like 3g for cell phone [08:08] WINE 1.0.1 is unstable, but firefox will run under that. [08:08] UnholyLessons: works pretty well for normal, non-3d-graphics stuff [08:08] I have no sound in ubuntu linux..How do i fix that..it wont pick on autodetect [08:08] vmware is a great piece of software and it almost feels native UnholyLessons [08:08] it can connect anywhere u get cell coverage [08:08] UnholyLessons: I use it for my scanner software and to backup my mobile phone [08:09] hmmmm... I don't know kaiser, maybe contact the service provider for a disk? [08:09] ok cool thanks a lot [08:09] im going to use it for itunes [08:09] there is no disk [08:09] There is no spoon [08:09] well, what is there kaiser? [08:10] im sending u the pdf === desti_T2 is now known as desti [08:10] I don't want the pdf kaiser. [08:10] it has a guide for ubuntu [08:10] If 3G connects anywhere you get cell coverage.. I wouldn't be able to connect here. [08:10] cooper77z: but i need gnome-ppp [08:10] huh, kaiser? [08:11] is that on 9.04 or do i need to find a .deb for it [08:11] I guess my best hope and truly all of our best hopes is that the web truly adopts html 5 and we can finally see the end of flash [08:11] Guys, anyone here ever connect a Panasonic PD-180 Workio to Jaunty? [08:11] and all its drudgery [08:11] my VirtualBox is v 2.1.4_OSE but sun have the v 3 how to update into his version? it's not listed on package man? please help === bloupotlood is now known as bluegoon [08:12] Cryptorchild: wait until the version is updated in the repos [08:12] Cryptorchild: add the repository that does have the update or wait for ubuntu to support it in theirs [08:12] why does gnome make arbitrary colors and lines? [08:12] markmq, and if you complain about the speed of Firefox, which is indeed slow, Windows or Linux version, try using the Fasterfox add-on, so you get better mileage. Or drop it altogether in favour of Opera, which is very fast and nice, but does have its glitches, though. [08:13] Cryptorchild: if you really have to use the newer version you'll have to download it from sun's site manually.. that's not recommended though [08:13] lgc I have exhausted those options [08:13] If a printer isnt compatible with jaunty machines, is it possible to install the printer on a windows box, and have the jaunty's print to it via network share? [08:13] okay, so, I tried using that boot thing for the usb and it didn't work. Not only does my computer not boot from it, it acts like it's not even there. What do I do? [08:13] opera is good but not as clean as firefox [08:13] ok that make sense [08:13] thanks [08:13] and I do feel like firefox performs well in windows unlike ubuntu or linux I should say === kb is now known as Guest2528 [08:14] Sorry about that === yoyo is now known as towtruckbob [08:14] its almost like it has gotten worse over the updates, as far as speed and web usability [08:14] Anyway, yeah, does anyone know about the ms-sys program thing for linux? I need it to fix my mbr. [08:14] My only complaint with firefox: memory leaks galore [08:14] ubuntu, booting from sd card was only ever a concept :) [08:14] memory leaks? [08:14] I thought they fixed that [08:15] They fixed some. [08:15] though now it uses an insane amount of CPU [08:15] still trying to fix my nividia xorg.conf file...i have been googling for quite a while now...any help would be appreciated [08:15] markmq, I have to agree with you on that, though it's much faster and generally good enough. And it has LOTS of widgets and appearances. But it ended up getting on my nerves on certain pages, like Google Finance, for example. [08:15] xshadowx, dont know about ms-sys, and ive missed most of the convo but a 'fixmbr' command from a windows recovery console should fix your mbr [08:15] Not sure if this counts as an Ubuntu question or not [08:15] But I use the grub bootloader supplied by ubuntu [08:15] towtruckbob, the xorg.conf file is not used by default in the latest version of ubuntu [08:15] and I tripleboot [08:16] Is there a way to make the other distros autoupdate the menu.lst on ubuntu's partition? [08:16] Cyber_Akuma, not unless they are linux OS's, windows cant read ext2/3/4 so it cant write to the menu.lst [08:16] why does cinelerra say my sd card was made in 1969? [08:16] they are [08:17] Vista, Ubuntu, OpenSUSE [08:17] im trying to make opensuse update the menu.lsu on ub...... [08:17] awww crap [08:17] just realized, I installed ubuntu on ext4 [08:17] Yeah, sorry, long story, basically, I installed Kubuntu, then got grub error 22, I uninstalled thinking that would fix the problem, then I got grub error 17. So now, I'm booted up from my Ubuntu LiveCD and am kin of stuck. I don't have any blank CDs nor does my CD burner work, so I tried using a USB boot way with Supergrub installed on it. Didn't work [08:17] opensuse can't read that yet [08:17] markmq, weird thing is, though, that your browsing experience is so much worse in Linux than it is in Windoze. It's contrary to my own experience. [08:17] you have to make sure it append the menu.lsu and not overwrote it [08:17] bodsda: im using 8.10 [08:17] i need help on a sound issue..anyone [08:17] Cyber_Akuma, then no.. but you could easily write a script to do that when suse can readt ext4 [08:17] lgc: you dont find yourself trudging along most of them time [08:18] did apollo have sd card? [08:18] BTw, is there a way I can add a grub entry for ubuntu that does not specfically need the kernal listed? [08:18] because ubuntu dosen't seem to autoupdate either >.< [08:18] lgc: I use many tabs and when I have maybe 2 open with any kind of flash element my experience is ruined [08:18] ubuntu will update when you've installed a new kernel through the updater [08:19] Cyber_Akuma, It makes no sense to add an entry without listing a kernel... it wont boot. [08:19] neither will go fetch the info from the others grub conf on its own [08:19] I was banned on #mac and #windows, what do I do [08:19] every time it complains that it cannot understand the menu.lst [08:19] you'd have to write your own grub conf script [08:19] because ive had to modify it [08:19] Oh and this is the ms-sys program I was talking about.... http://ms-sys.sourceforge.net/ I am a linux noob so I need to figure out how to make that file compile and work! [08:19] I see [08:19] If I avoid 3 websites, native firefox is fast and usable. Youtube, *confidential*, and Gaia Online. these 3 websites slow down firefox horribly.. all 3 use flash extensively. [08:19] so that they append themselves [08:19] J_Dahmer: learn to behave [08:19] goodnight friends :) [08:19] Oh yeah, and speaking of kernels [08:19] so when you update one the other appends the other [08:19] Whats a good way to remove the older kernels after an update? === sleepy_cat is now known as c_nick [08:20] the boot dir gets messy after a while with several kernels in it [08:20] xshadowx, what are you having issues with? it gives good instructions [08:20] Cyber_Akuma, just rm the kernel's you dont use by checking them off against the ones listed in menu.lst [08:20] When I download it and extract, I don't know what to do after. I did the terminal commands on there and nothing happens. [08:21] well Bob_Dole when you are on a site like digg reddit or any other new story aggregator you'll find that you'll be browsing plenty of flashed based sites at once [08:21] Huh, I was told I shoulden't just delete them [08:21] even with adblock its a shit storm [08:21] i got a ? [08:21] you can delete the them if you know you're new kernels are stable [08:22] and I dont think just delete them from the directory willl remove them from your boot loader [08:22] !compile | xshadowx [08:22] xshadowx: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [08:22] they arentt in my bootloader [08:22] grub only has one ubuntu entry, that I have ot manually update [08:22] the autoupdater fails to modify it [08:22] markmq, the boot loader knows nothing apart from a file path. [08:22] markmq, Oh, not at all. Right now I have 4 or 5 Firefox independent windows sparsed around my typically 6 desktops (ever heard of multiple desktops in Windows?) and one of them has at least 5 tabs, and one of those is Google finance, which is indeed Flash. And I do it all the time, concurrently with several other apps. Heck, I even watch por*otube on Firefox with my processor at 100% without problems! [08:23] haha [08:23] markmq, if it slows down too much I'd just fire-up the windows version of firefox under WINE (using 1.1.23, not 1.0.1, or later than 1.1.23) and it'd be fast. infact, I have the windows version running right now and on a few flash based sites. it isn't slowing down or crashing. [08:23] then I must have a shit video driver or I'm missing something [08:23] what is the command using wine to install a program on Ubuntu [08:23] youtube runs like crap for me in firefox [08:23] what does gnome-settings daeomon do??? [08:23] lgc, you dont seem to understand the concept of 100% cpu usage [08:23] IE, opera, and chrome however [08:23] it runs well [08:23] because I have serious troubles browsing just moderately [08:23] I wonder why flash sucks in firefox [08:23] wizzo50, you double click on the .exe file [08:23] Which one of those options (under the screen shot for the ms-sys program) would I use to fix my mbr for Vista? It seems as it only has xp, 2000, and 2003 [08:23] Bodsda, illustrate me, please. [08:23] Cyber_Akuma, use apt-get or synaptic to uninstall older kernels. it is perfectly safe [08:24] thanks [08:24] lgc: my specs aren't complete trash although they aren't cutting edge [08:24] for certain files in folder permissions automatically gets changes to apache:apache? is there any fix for it? [08:24] Bob_Dole: YOu can't run a .exe file in Ubuntu [08:24] lgc, 100% cpu usage spike are a good thing, but one program using 100% cpu can eb fine, but other programs 'will' be suffering [08:24] I was just asking if there was basically a sort of "clean up" command or script that rmeoves the older ones for me, but if not I can jut manually remove them [08:24] markmq, mine neither! [08:24] lgc: p4 2.4 hyperthreading 2 gigs of ram and an old gforce 5200 [08:24] wizzo50, WINE makes it run..double clicking it runs it with wine [08:24] plenty to browse the web by anyones standards [08:25] Cyber_Akuma, interesting idea actually. I might get to work on something like that tonight [08:25] heh [08:25] does anyone knows which repository have most updated packages? [08:25] Cryptorchild, main probably [08:25] lgc: I feel like I'm in a war with firefox to relinquish my cpu back to me [08:25] hey [08:25] Bob_Dole: That is the Archive Manager [08:25] i need games for ubuntu! [08:25] wizzo50, not for me [08:25] can someone recommand me ? [08:25] ILMAN5, pingus [08:26] !games | ILMAN5 [08:26] ILMAN5: Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php [08:26] is there an equivalent on linux to xampp lite ? I am used to using that on windows and usb stick. [08:26] i want your recommand not the bot ones [08:26] Bob_Dole: I know it is like ~ wine /desktop/ ???? but can't get it right [08:26] ILMAN5, the bot is there for a reason, listen to him. but pingus and frozenbubble are cool [08:26] markmq, well, perhaps your hardware just doesn't digest well Firefox and Linux together. Sorry about that, but that's not a Linux issue, IMHO. [08:27] 2.8ghz Core2Duo, 4GB RAM, ATI Radeon HD 3850...and flash makes firefox slow to a crawl. once I have about 20-25 tabs open, the frame rate on youtube videos drops to about 10FPS or less. With Firefox under WINE I get more than that. [08:27] I tend to disagree because the same hold trues for my laptop which is worse [08:27] 10x [08:27] Firefox and Flash run like crap on my laptop in ubuntu [08:27] moin [08:27] and my laptop is running win 7 beta [08:27] but they work perfectly in opensuse [08:27] wonder why [08:27] and will outperform this pc in firefox any day of the week [08:27] different flash version? gpu support? [08:28] Tremulous is a great First Person Shooter available in the repos. [08:28] I guess I can't blame firefox for stutering on youtube on this desktop [08:28] markmq, as per Ubuntu 8.10, I'm having growing trouble with the performance of the graphics engine, since it seems so unresponsive and power-hungry. But then again it might be my hardware getting old, sadly. [08:28] since its a pentium 3 system, 1.13ghz, with only 1gb of PC133 SDRAM.... [08:28] but sinc IE6 and Opera actually run it well... [08:28] Hell, even on ym laptop in Win7 it stutters in firefox [08:29] 1.13ghz? Is that a tualatin or one of the recalled Coppermines? [08:29] win 7 runs beautifully on my laptop [08:29] I was stunned [08:29] tualatin IIRC [08:29] its been a while [08:29] i downloaded fretsonFire.tar.tg [08:29] how can i open it ? [08:29] I think its a 2ghz celeron with 1 gb of ram [08:29] brb [08:29] 1gb? [08:29] and win7 runs well? [08:29] That.... that IS surprising [08:29] ILMAN5: forget that game it blows go download urban terror http://urbanterror.net [08:29] Then again, they WERE designign it so itll work on netbooks too... [08:30] !ot [08:30] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [08:30] HOw do you use wine to run a exe file off your desktop after downloading it [08:30] hi... [08:30] ILMAN5: isn't frets on fire available through the repos? [08:30] setup wine wizzo50 [08:30] wizzer, wine ~/Desktop/file.exe [08:30] wizzo50, have you even installed wine? [08:30] then you should be able to right click on it and run through wine [08:30] wizzo50: right click the file or use a terminal, like bastidrazor said [08:31] ILMAN5: isn't frets on fire available through the repos? <---- yes it is, I saw it yesterday [08:31] in add/remove programs [08:31] I do have it installed, Wine [08:33] Does ITunes run on here? [08:33] Ever since my update to Jaunty I can't have an 'su' terminal at my disposal. The 'gksudo x-terminal-emulator' doesn't work. Who knows what gives here? [08:33] itunes does not run through wine wizzo50 [08:33] you'll be better off running virtual windows [08:33] Oh [08:34] and thats a nightmare [08:34] Ok [08:34] hmm what should i do with tar.gz file / [08:34] sorry [08:34] hmm what should i do with tar.gz file? [08:34] lgc sudo -i possibly? [08:34] ipod + linux = nightmare for the common user [08:34] What is a good music program that does run on here [08:34] flash + linux = another nightmare for everyone [08:34] lgc: that feels like a very roundabout way of getting a root terminal.. why not do "sudo -i" ? [08:34] ummm [08:34] amarok [08:34] is good [08:34] uhhhhhh so ./configure isn't doing anything in terminal [08:34] and does have ipod support [08:34] markmq: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:35] fair enough FloodBot2 [08:36] hello [08:36] bastid_razor, nice, indeed. Thanks. Though I hate getting the 'Failed to contact the GConf daemon; exiting.' error and the distinctive black term. [08:36] I what to use a package of hardy-backport. but if I add the repo i will get all updates. how can I use only one package of the newer repo? [08:36] I wish open software compared to its counterpart but I feel like its always going to be trying to play catch up [08:36] its a sad state of affairs but that is truly the case [08:36] and with that I'm out. [08:37] hi all, recently i tried to install graphics and net related packages from ADD/REMOVE program, and in result my gnome got freeze now even on restarting I am not able to click on Applications/Places/SYstems etc and the tope pannel is also not showing date time tc. how to fix the problem , kde is owrking fine [08:37] mark - i feel the same [08:37] So im running windowsxp in a VM. How do I get it to connect to wireless NIC? i havnt used xp in a while thought it automatically connected to wireless [08:37] it does make me sad [08:37] believe me [08:37] unfortunately corporation have the advantage [08:37] ashwini: what packages did u install? [08:37] okay I'm out [08:38] markmq, shape up man! It's not so bad... [08:38] .. [08:38] hello guys how to use or run on CLI WeeChat?

Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php [09:10] chalcedny: sure I could do that, that doesnt mean haveing that ! is suboptimal/wrong [09:10] I thought gparted came installed on the ubuntu/xubuntu livecds? [09:10] at least it did on mine [09:10] xshadowx: Are you dual booting with windows? [09:10] No, long story short, I uninstalled Kubuntu after grub error 22 appeared and now I have grub error 17 and I need to at least get back in to Vista. I don't have any blank CDs and my CD burner decided to not work..so, I'm kind of stuck. I tried using a USB boot up, but that failed. So I need to figure out how to use this ms-sys program to fix vistas mbr problem. [09:10] yes [09:10] xshadowx, win98 boot cd available online will install a mbr that vista repair notices and repairs [09:10] thats harder [09:10] I don't suppose there is a #windows channel on this server btw? [09:10] ya [09:11] I dual booted with Vista and kubuntu. Or tried to at least.(sorry left that out) [09:11] Cyber_Akuma: ##windows :) [09:11] xshadowx: which did you install first? [09:11] or are you running one in a virtual machine [09:11] I had Vista installed first. [09:11] odd [09:11] and it was linked from #windows aparently... [09:11] I had no problems evne quad booting when I installed vista first [09:11] xshadowx: You might find Super Grub Disk would sort it out for you [09:12] reinstall ubuntu and replace vista :P [09:12] why do some channels have ## instead of #? [09:12] That's what I had on the USB stick. It wouldn't boot from it...and it wouldn't even show up in BIOS [09:12] you are on the live cd, right? [09:12] Correct [09:12] hit the install icon :P [09:13] james_: If he installs Vista after Ubuntu that would remove the Grub entry from the MBR [09:13] i didn't say to install vista afterwards :) [09:13] xshadowx: Maybe your computer wont boot from a USB stick. Mine wont [09:14] What's the other option then? I tried this, but I'm stupid and can't seem to get the terminal commands right to configure it... http://ms-sys.sourceforge.net/ [09:14] xshadowx: You might find that PartedMagic with Grub4dos might sort your problem [09:14] xshadowx, if your computer has recovery mode for windows then maybe you can reinstall vista from there and get rid of ubuntu altogether [09:14] you can always install ubuntu later [09:15] Yeah, if you have no files you care to backup, id recommend that route, it woudl be the easiest and least messy [09:15] yep [09:15] JonathanD, there are guides to install vista after ubuntu [09:15] Well, I don't have ubuntu or kubuntu on either of my hard drives right now. I think on accident, when I installed kubuntu, it installed grub on my vista partition. [09:15] strange [09:15] Is it possible to setup VPN only for certain applications? [09:15] it should have installed it in the boot sector and on the kubuntu partition [09:16] (instead of running everything through the VPN?) [09:16] the stage 1.5 files on the kubuntu partition I mean [09:16] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351 [09:16] xshadowx: Does your Vista installation still have lots of applications in it? I ask because I find installing Windows apps a pain in the arse so you might want to keep your Vista intact and repair it rather than a comlete reinstall [09:17] I have A LOT of applications(more than I need) but I use it for music and other school stuff. [09:17] xshadowx: In that case you might not want to do a complete reinstall of Vista. Are you currently on the machine in question? How are you using it now? [09:18] Yes, I am on it right now. I have booted up using ubuntu's live CD [09:18] Do you have the installers for all your aplications? [09:18] either on disk or on our windows partition? [09:18] your* [09:18] xshadowx: Can you give me a list of the partitions you have on your machine so I can get an idea what is what? You can see the partitions by running gparted [09:20] Cyber_Akuma: If he has a lot of applications, it would take a long time to reinstall them all. Plus a fresh Vista install takes ages too. [09:20] I have /dev/sda1 (vista) and /dev/sdb1 (NTFS and nothing else on it) [09:21] xshadowx: So your vista is in place on sda1. sdb1 is a blank partition formatted as NTFS? What is that partition for? [09:22] Sdb1 use to have Kubuntu on it. I uninstalled it and reformatted it back to NTFS hoping that it would fix everything. [09:22] hi all, could anyone help me to disable the GDM? i have intrepid installed in my hard disk and i cannot access the terminal, i want to disable the gdm using my live cd so that i can start my intrepid and fix the problem [09:23] is there something in /etc/gdm i can tweak to disable it_ [09:24] Has anyone here ever heard of or come across programs running in ubuntu causing a monitor squeal? Turning monitor off, it goes. So i assume it was the monitor but now, ive just tested: if i load a terminal, it gets worse, close it,it goes away.. [09:25] xshadowx: OK. I think I know what your problem might be. When you installed Ubuntu it replaces the code in the Master Boot Record to run Grub. Now that the partition that Grub was installed in is not there, it doesnt know what to do. I suggest the easiest way to proceed is to reinstall Ubuntu on your empty partition. It will replace the MBR code to run Grub. It should detect your Vista installation and put Vista as an entry in your boot menu in Gru [09:25] xshadowx: How much experience do you have with setting up partitions for Ubuntu? [09:25] xshadowx: don't do that...just fix the mbr to boot vista again [09:26] I did it before with Fedora. [09:26] but that's about it. [09:26] whats the command to edit a file like /etc/apt/sources.list in ubuntu [09:26] xshadowx: I mean, do you have a preferred partitioning scheme or do you prefer to let Ubuntu's installer decide how to partition? [09:26] vi [09:26] UnholyLessons: sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [09:27] I usually let the installer decide but make sure it's not messing with my hard drive with Vista on it. I think there is something I did wrong during the install of Kubuntu...at the end of the installation there was an option for "advanced settings" in there I should've looked because I'm pretty sure it installed grub on my first hard drive(the one with vista) rather than the one with kubuntu on it. [09:28] hi, i just set my audio to pulseaudio and used this link https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio , but it doesnt work .. any sugestions ? [09:28] xshadowx: I forgot to ask. What do you want to achieve here? Do you want both Ubuntu and Vista or just one of them? [09:29] how do you update apt in ubuntu [09:29] I wanted to successfully dual boot Vista and Ubuntu(or Kubuntu) so I can learn how to use Ubuntu/Kubuntu properly and still have Vista as my every day thing (for gaming and so forth). [09:30] I am quite interested in linux and some of my colleagues told me to try Ubuntu instead of Fedora. [09:30] xshadowx: I doubt it would have installed grub on your first hard disk. By default it places grub in /boot/grub which will be on your Ubuntu partition unless you setup a dedicated partition for boot or grub which it sounds like you didnt do. [09:30] Ubuntu is tight shadow [09:30] bonjour [09:31] How do you setup Weechat on here [09:31] hy [09:31] a software for controling the fan? [09:32] Possibly, but there is a random 1mb unallocated space partition in my HD with Vista...I'm not sure what that is and I only found that after uninstalling Kubuntu [09:32] anyone here who knows something about xchat? ^^ [09:32] Hi [09:33] hello :) [09:33] xshadowx: I would agree with your colleagues. What the Ubuntu installer has done is to replace the MBR code on your vista partition to run Grub instead of ntldr (the windows loader). Grub then gives you the choice of chain loading windows or loading ubuntu. That small partition is probably a rescue partition put there when you manufacturer first formatted your hard disk [09:33] How do you setup WeeChat on GUI [09:33] !xchat [09:33] Sorry, I don't know anything about xchat [09:33] hmm :( [09:33] How do I run a program through terminal? [09:33] how do you apt update in terminal of ubuntu [09:33] i need to know how to automaticly connect to my bnc on startup [09:34] So what should I do then? Fix mbr and get rid of grub? Or reinstall Ubuntu and grub then add Vista to the loader? I think I've tried doing that once and I received another Grub error 22.. [09:34] why my pidgin icon dosn't shows up in notification area [09:34] anyone else have issues with monitor squeal/whine when a few programs are open(if theyre minimized it doesnt happen).. [09:34] I'm using 9.04 [09:34] im doing this : Add the relevant two lines mentioned below to /etc/apt/sources.list and run aptitude update && aptitude install xmms [09:34] mustafa, it shows up in the shutdown menu when you "X" the pidgin [09:34] how do i aptitude update and install on ubuntu [09:34] any software for controling the speed of the fan? [09:35] UnholyLessons: that is the correct command [09:35] UnholyLessons: try sudo apt-get update [09:35] How do you setup Weechat? [09:35] UnholyLessons: so unless you get an error message, it should work. [09:35] after installing spotify over wine it seems my sound has pretty much stopped working [09:35] wizzo50_: like all other software? [09:35] thanks :) [09:35] anybody had similar issues? [09:35] lillis: probably the crappy pulseaudio. [09:36] Do you like the Chrunch Bang [09:36] I am currently in terminal and I have a program I want to run. Is there a command I can type to initialize this? [09:36] wizzo50_: do not talk to me in private unless asked in public channel. [09:36] How do you? [09:36] oh i got an error and fixed it :) [09:36] thanks [09:37] wizzo50_: stop talking to me in private. [09:37] wizzo50_: if it is in the repositories, you just install it and read the Ubuntu documentation in /usr/share/doc/ [09:37] wizzo50_: otherwise, you just read the README file distributed in the source distribution. [09:38] xshadowx: Its up to you. If you know how to fix the MBR to just run windows and you dont want Ubuntu then you could do that. I dont remember how to do that - you would probably boot from your Vista CD and get it to repair your Windows installation. Personally, I would delete your NTFS partition on your second hard disk (the blank one) and then install Ubuntu. If you do it from the Live CD I can talk you through it if you like [09:38] does anyone know any REALLY good repositories [09:38] wizzo50_: if there also is no README file, you read the source or use another program or you write your own program. [09:38] pozic: I don't understand it [09:38] Whats the name of that little app that monitors system performance and temperature? [09:38] UnholyLessons: conky ? [09:38] system monitor? [09:38] xshadowx: You should then have a working dual boot system with Grub giving you the choice of whether to run windows or linux [09:39] wizzo50_: these instructions are easy to understand for someone who knows something about Linux. Read a book first if you do not understand. I read books on how to use a computer too. Nothing to be ashamed of. [09:39] yeah its like the windows sidebar but came out way back. its a system performance monitor...looks real sleek [09:39] whats it called [09:39] Does any body know how to run a program through terminal. I know the program is on the system some where but I can't find it. How do I run programs using the command line? [09:39] So basically, if I install ubuntu the right way, Vista would show up in the OS selection screen? [09:39] respositories [09:39] check for the installed app [09:39] xshadowx: Yes [09:40] jdredwind: Just type the name of the program [09:40] you'll find all the files installed by this app here [09:40] jdredwind: So if you want to run the text editor, for example you would type gedit [09:41] Okay, well I think I'll do that then... Let me know how to do this right. I'll start the install. [09:41] jdredwind: What is the program you want to run? [09:41] JonathanEllis: he said he doesn't know the name of the program. [09:41] JonathanEllis: :) [09:41] tf5 JonathanEllis [09:41] weechat [09:42] It's a MUD client [09:42] jdredwind: so, just type tf5 [09:42] xshadowx: From the Live CD I think there is an icon marked Install Ubuntu or something similar. Double click that [09:42] hi there [09:42] hello [09:42] any chance ubuntu have a program built into default install that give all the info possible about your hardware and os, similar to windows' "system information" [09:42] im having issues with VNC on 9.04, i always get the first screen and then it locks up. is this a known issue? [09:42] OK. I'm at the partition part of the install already. [09:43] Dayofswords: KDE has something like that in the control center. [09:43] how do i install KDE? [09:43] Dayofswords: you can also just run lspci [09:43] xshadowx: What are the choices? I think you want to use the whole of your second disk [09:43] Dayofswords: for cpu info you can do cat /proc/cpuinfo [09:43] hi. I cant browse my network. I have SMB installed. Somebody can help? [09:43] pozic: thank you [09:43] pozic , JonathanEllis: I tried that, it just brings up copy right info for the program and an introduction but none of it offers any real information on how to actually turn on the client [09:44] how can I add keys to gconf? [09:44] Dayofswords: in general, if you have a specific question. that information can probably be found somewhere. [09:44] /dev/sda1 and dev/sdb1 I chose that one. Should I click "use the entire disk"? or Specify partitions manually? [09:44] the gui tool doesn't let me add new keys :/ [09:44] onats: yes [09:44] onats: it is [09:44] Dayofswords: normally, I only care about those things when stuff doesn't work, which isn't the case for me now. [09:44] guys... i am using zsh as my shell - when I type a command that does not exist, Ubuntu usually suggests the package I should install to get it (in bash) - I dont get this in zsh. how do i enable this? [09:44] hey [09:44] anyone [09:44] SandGorgon: you port the script which is written in dash to zsh [09:45] onats: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1145451 [09:45] rdsnet_slatina, any updates when it'll get fixed? [09:45] using lm sesors [09:45] sensors [09:45] pozic, which script is that ? [09:45] jdredwind: url to program? [09:45] onats: yes [09:45] Man I sure wish Linux was just a little more straight forward. [09:46] Dayofswords: You can install hardinfo. sudo apt-get install hardinfo [09:46] bcs you use metacity [09:46] mmmm my sound doesnt work >_> [09:46] whats the command to install KDE? [09:46] SandGorgon: something in /etc/ which you can probably find via Google. Something containing command not found package, IIRC. [09:46] SandGorgon: just find the exact response and use rgrep to find it. [09:46] jdredwind, a mud client bringing up about program? try tf5 [09:46] onats: [09:46] pozic: http://tinyfugue.sourceforge.net/ [09:47] jdredwind: Computers cannot be much simpler than Linux from a user point of view. [09:47] jdredwind: the only alternative is an advanced AI for which you do not have the hardware. [09:47] xshadowx: You have already chosen sdb1? Does it ask WHICH hard disk to use when it suggests using the entire hard disk? [09:47] rdsnet_slatina, what should i be using then? [09:48] Yes. [09:48] onats: you go https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/353126 ? [09:48] can someone help? , i just set my audio to pulseaudio but i cant hear anything ,,, but i see sth on the output device [09:48] Can someone help me im trying to install that different desktop enviroment for kubuntu,,, [09:48] KDE, how do i get it on ubuntu [09:49] jdredwind: so, did you compile and install it from source? [09:49] UnholyLessons: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [09:49] jdredwind: if not, where did you get your version? [09:49] no, synaptic package manager [09:49] pozic: synaptic package manager [09:49] jdredwind: what is the name of the package? [09:50] xshadowx: Can you please prefix your messages to me with my name? Otherwise its difficult for me to keep track. Can you expand your Yes answer please as I am not sure what you are answering yes to (remember those exam questions where you have to answer in complete sentences :)) [09:50] pozic: tf5 [09:50] jdredwind: man tf5 should work then [09:50] jdredwind: if it doesn't you should file a bug. [09:51] Pozic: Linux doesn't like me [09:51] jdredwind: Linux is about the same as all the other *n*x operating systems out there. [09:51] jdredwind: Silly question perhaps. Have you googled tf5? [09:51] jdredwind: it is just not Windows, because you can actually use your machine as something else than a toy. [09:52] JonathanEllis: I'm not familiar with IRC, I'm sorry. But anyway, its a yes to choosing sdb1 and a yes to the installer asking which hard disk to use when using the entire disk [09:52] pozic: lol, too true. [09:52] jdredwind: man tf5 works in my machine [09:52] jdredwind: I would say that you are just a lazy user who expects other people to hold your hands. [09:52] rdsnet_slatina, thanks. looks like no solid workaround yet [09:53] pozic: Hmm, lazy perhaps [09:53] jdredwind: there is nothing wrong with asking about weird system behaviour, but until now not a single creative thought was required by me. [09:53] pozic: But I don't have hands. [09:53] pozic: I type with my feet [09:53] jdredwind: if that really is the case I don't mind helping you. [09:54] onats: y see [09:54] lol [09:55] jdredwind: just start a terminal and then type in tf [09:55] xshadowx: No problem about the IRC etiquette: none of us was born knowing everything. So if you have the chance to install Ubuntu using the whole of sdb1 I would go for that, unless you have a particular partitioning scheme in mind. You can always change it later anyway, though its harder. Is there a separate option for guided partitioning? That might give some suggestions and choices [09:55] jdredwind: then you get some command interface where you can do /help [09:55] pozic: I don't mind you helping me either, but don't assume i'm lazy. Before I decided to come into the channel I spent 45 minutes trying to run this program myself, until finally I decided to ask for help. I wasn't looking for a hand hold. Just an arrow in the right direction. [09:55] jdredwind: you should be able to read English and go on from there by yourself. [09:55] thanks [09:55] jdredwind: if you spent that amount of time, I suggest you read a book on Linux in 3 hours. [09:56] JonathanEllis: Yes, there is a separate option. It says "Specify Partitions Manually (advanced)". It lets me choose the /root and other options. [09:56] Yes, that guy is really interested in learning how to use a computer ;) [09:56] can I cum and masturbate all over the text? [09:56] rofl [09:56] twit324: you can try. [09:57] what idiot proff backup software should i use ? [09:57] If it is proff, call Redhat ;) [09:57] JonathanEllis: There isn't really a specific partition pattern I'm looking for other than just to have a hard drive for vista and a hard drive for Ubuntu. [09:58] xshadowx: do you have two harddisks? [09:58] xshadowx: or just one? [09:58] pozic: I have two. [09:58] xshadowx: In that case, just use the whole of sdb1 [09:58] dose any know? [09:58] xshadowx: so, just say that Ubuntu can use the whole harddisk that does not contain Vista. [09:58] what are the main chat rooms on freenode? [09:58] like just off topic? [09:59] xshadowx: only you can know the device names. [09:59] !backup | insomic [09:59] If you are interested I have found some info about partitioning so you can make an informed choice. [09:59] hey how do i stop netstat from printing so much i cant read the first it doesnt scroll up? [09:59] insomic: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning === uniquebob is now known as qe2eqe [09:59] insomic: i personally use a cron'd cp job to a firewire partition [09:59] it prints so much on the screen and i cant read the first part [09:59] im trying to do netstat [09:59] from term [09:59] jasonmchristos1: pipe it into less [10:00] what would you recound though [10:00] ActionParsnip: how? [10:00] JonathanEllis: O [10:00] jasonmchristos1: netstat | less [10:00] gnome just went nuts with the color control, everythings pink and blue @ [10:00] xshadowx: Here they are https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/partitioning https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/installation-guide/sparc/non-debian-partitioning.html [10:00] JonathanEllis: whoops, anyway, I'm at the final step before install. Should I click advanced and make sure the bootloader is not installed? [10:01] xshadowx: the last time I installed Ubuntu, I was amazed by the fact that all the partitioning stuff and resizing actually worked without problems. [10:01] xshadowx: doing it on two harddisks is even easier. [10:01] xshadowx: I cant remember whats in Advanced. Tell me whats there [10:02] =] [10:02] oh, it's ok on the tube monitor, but wak on the lcd monitor [10:02] ActionParsnip: thanks [10:02] jasonmchristos1: pipes are your friends [10:02] JonathanEllis: a box to click to install a bootloader or not (it's checked) and it says a device for boot loader installation with a drop down menu.The current choice is (HD0) which has Vista on it. Then popularity contest, and network proxy. [10:03] xshadowx: The first time I installed Ubuntu I just took the default options. I think I used the whole hard disk. Now, though I have my own partitioning scheme as I have experimented with various versions of Ubuntu [10:03] jason__: you can also use it for other stuff, like dmesg if you want to read it all [10:03] jason__: dmesg | less [10:04] xshadowx: That sounds fine to me. The bootloader on HD0 will install some code in the Master Boot Record of HD0 to run Grub on HD1. Then Grub will give you the option of running either Ubuntu or Windows [10:04] jason__: nm, wrong target, sorry === ILMAN5 is now known as ILMAN [10:04] xshadowx: I would go with those default options and not change anything [10:05] JonathanEllis: Even if Vista is on that hard drive? === nick is now known as Guest41181 [10:05] JonathanEllis: The reason I'm asking is because this is exactly what I did the first time I installed Kubuntu on the hard drive..that's when I got grub error 22.

[10:09] Is ti possible to add a gpg key in a apturl link?

To explain what is going on, when your machine boots, the BIOS looks at the Master Boot Record of the first hard disk (on some BIOSs you can choose which hard disk to boot from but most will use the first hard disk by default). The Master Boot Record then tells the machine which partition to boot from. So you will set the Master Boot Record of your first hard disk to load Grub which will be in a partiti [10:11] need help pls.. everytime i reboot my pc and when i start my audio volume will automatically mute.. why is that..

Shall I continue with the install? [10:13] hi [10:13] how to have a graphical grub? [10:13] insomic: i don't know what that means. There are many backup solutions, just choose one that appeals and is supported and you'll be fine [10:13] xshadowx: You understand that changing the MBR of HD0 is necessary so you can run Grub. That will give you access to both your operating systems. Yes go ahead. [10:13] where can I find ext4 kernel headers? === adam is now known as Guest43140 [10:14] any recommanded on media center?

Its sometimes useful to search for your own name then you can see everything that has already been said. I suggest you note down those links to info about Grub and partitions for later [10:16] tia [10:16] i want install xps2 but i do know how.if possible help me [10:16] mataks: considering grub is on the screen for about 3 seconds, is it really worth it?

Let me know when its done [10:17] xshadowx: Back in a few minutes [10:17] question: is it possible to install ubuntu hardy with raid6, instead of the standard installer options (raid0, raid1, raid6)?

[10:19] peterva: can't see why not [10:19] xshadowx: I'm back. Any progress? [10:19] no xps2 is a web server [10:19] I dunno, but the installer just gives the options for creating raid0, raid1 and raid5 :) [10:19] i need this for mono [10:19] peterva: you'll have to consult the (sucky) fakeraid documentation to see if its supported though [10:19] JonathanEllis: It's currently copying files at around 40% [10:20] saeed_: have you tried asking in #mono ? [10:20] xshadowx: OK. Let me know when its comlete [10:20] tanks [10:20] peterva: if you want decent raid setups get a proper raid card and ditch the software rubbish that motherboards come with [10:21] ActionParsnip: mdadm is not software rubbish on the motherboard :) [10:21] we want mdadm for a reason [10:22] and I know it's possible to make a raid6 array in mdadm, but I was asking if it was possible from the installer :) [10:22] peterva: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mdadm states: mdadm is a Linux utility by Neil Brown that is used to manage software RAID devices, previously known as mdctl. Besides managing, it can create, delete, or monitor Linux software RAIDs [10:22] peterva: the wiki shows some commands that may help [10:24] peterva: the raid you are configuring is the fake raid in the bios which may give you issues. If you get a raid card, the raid management will be managed in the card and the OS will only see the disk/s shown to it by the raid controller === Guest43140 is now known as Takhisis [10:25] ActionParsnip: thanks, I'll sort it out :) [10:25] peterva: hope you get the gold :) [10:26] I hope so as well :P [10:26] hey, how can i get the EVOLUTION-RSS plugin to run on ubuntu? [10:27] on ubuntu, should canon powershot cameras be auto-mounted, detected, when plugged into USB and turned on ? [10:27] hi folks, got a quick question: i'm including universe packages on my alternate (jaunty) install cd. now it looks for a debian-edu-archive-keyring udeb - and i'm wondering WHY? [10:27] floating: you can check detection with: sudo fdisk -l [10:27] floating: and dmesg | tail [10:28] hey, how can i get the EVOLUTION-RSS plugin to run on ubuntu? [10:28] dmesg shows new usb high speed device, and fdisk -l gfives maybe a new partition, not sure if that one was there :> [10:29] i try mount it [10:29] how should I mount it though [10:29] JonathanEllis: still there?

[10:31] i'm packaging this for a no-network install [10:31] i use a firefox plugin [10:32] now retrying with dists/universe cleaned up [10:32] good morning :) I got a question about wget: at times you can download a file which is served by some script, for example a link like http://example.com/dl/download.php?arg1=foo&arg2=bar&fileID=666. is there a way for wget to determine what the downloaded file's name should be, like a "usual" browser would be able to? [10:32] mabi: forget what I said, I misread the question [10:32] Cube: NewsFox [10:32] xshadowx: Is it telling you to reboot? If so, I will wait here and please come back and tell me if both Windows and Linux boot properly. If it doesnt work, boot from your Live CD [10:32] Laestrygo: ok i installed it. its in the plugins window, its turned on. but where do i add a feed?

[10:38] jacky4: if you have a good card, nvidia-settings works [10:38] floating: you can use gnome apps in xfce but there will be a camera app some place, or you can install one, kde has digikam [10:38] JonathanEllis: Okay, well it seems to be working...although last time I installed, and rebooted, I got a grub error 22. I should check to make sure that doesn't happen...but as of right now Ubuntu seems to work properly. I'm going to reboot again and I'll let you know.

[11:07] coleys:ok i did that... [11:08] Ruby: by IDE you really mean PATA === kb is now known as Guest10745 [11:08] I see. [11:09] Ruby: the IDE is that little controller thingy on the drive itself and gives you the disk cache [11:09] Alright. [11:09] Ruby: back in the day, drives didnt have that so and relied purely on the motherboard, the new drives (when they were new) were called IDE, Integrated Drive Electronics [11:10] Ruby: if you are dual booting on any technology with ubuntu, grub simply doesnt care, the kernel give it hardware support so it could be a scsi drive, 3 SATA and a PATA and all wil be bootable by grub [11:11] Hm [11:11] Give me a second [11:11] Ruby: provided you have driver modules for each so they are readable 9the default install has modules for the vast majority of onboard controllers [11:11] So to do this I'd have to have the ubuntu drive with GRUB set as the master?

[11:21] jacky4: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=990978 [11:22] obottu: why I cannot use bridge-utils? [11:22] jacky4: if you do not understand, you search for the error message on google. [11:22] jacky4: you also read the README which has been written by nvidia, I think. [11:22] pozic: or any search engine at all [11:23] ActionParsnip: yes, you are right. I do not know a better search engine than google, though. [11:23] pozic: there is no better, they are all equal [11:23] pozic: different search algorithms different results [11:24] ActionParsnip: search is a part of information retrieval. For some queries you can measure which one is better. [11:24] pozic: depends on the search criteria. Ive found ask.com to yield more accurately than google in many cases [11:24] ActionParsnip: but I agree that searching for Britney Spears could return either the official webpage first and then the wikipedia entry or in the other order. [11:25] ActionParsnip: ok, I will test ask.com with some of my test queries. [11:25] pozic: which is why i say "websearch" rather than "google" [11:25] hi [11:25] pozic: all i'm saying is that there is more than goole [11:25] *google [11:25] how to detect person in my LAN which overloading networj traffic [11:26] ?

[11:26] no [11:26] kibibyte: ntop at the gateway if you know it's internet traffic. will let you get stats on which ip's are using data. [11:26] we have LAN and someone is using rapid share i want his IP [11:26] how do i open my ip to external world to access from ubuntu at a specific port where my webserver is running? [11:27] neveyn but gateway is somne hardware router very simple [11:27] :/ [11:27] ActionParsnip: ask.com has a smaller index, but for the queries I entered that did have a result, the result was good enough. [11:27] pozic: theres also msn.com and yahoo.com too, all are equally good [11:27] is there any sniffer which can tell me whos overloading network bandwith [11:28] I have twin monitors running at 1280 x 1024 using Xinerama on a Matrox G200 twin output graphics card. Every time I boot, the second screen comes up at a lower resolution. When I restart X by pressing Ctrl-Alt-Backspace the second screen goes to the correct resolution of 1280 x 1024. I dont understand why this is happening. My xorg.conf is at http://pastebin.com/f2624ef8b [11:28] ActionParsnip: msn.com is not very good, imho. Yahoo is quite good, indeed, but slightly slower I think. [11:28] pozic: true, it is slower [11:28] Google simply still has superior processing power. [11:28] pozic: true but it isnt the one and only [11:29] pozic: and sometimes it throws up some real garbage [11:29] whois bazz [11:29] how to list files of some specific mime type? [11:29] Where exactly does grub get installed to on a computer? I have two HDs, one currently has XP installed, and I'm going to try installing Ubuntu again, hopefully this time it should all go to plan. But where will GRUB be installed to, and do I need to do *anything* to make sure it picks up on both OSs? [11:29] ibnulislam: ls *.mimetype ? [11:29] Why can't people simply read the manual here? [11:30] repost: how do i open my ip to external world to access from ubuntu at a specific port where my webserver is running? [11:30] Alright, the boot went well [11:30] candrodor you use windows 2k,xp,vista,7 ? [11:30] ibnulislam: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PythonRecipes/MIMETypes [11:30] yahoo will probably be using microsofts "bing" soon [11:30] nice gyachi supports webcam streaming for ym :) [11:30] nexTac: they will? That's bad. URL? [11:30] candrodor, needs to be on the MBR of the first drive the bios 'sees' [11:30] please keep the offtopic somewhere else, this is Ubuntu support channel, everything else to #ubuntu-offtopic or more relevant channels [11:30] ibnulislam: actually scratch that, just got excited [11:30] Aside from the fact that while booting ubuntu my mobo gave me an "overclock fail" message, and my CPU is now running at 2.8 ghz [11:31] candrodor: you can choose the partition where grub is installed during the install [11:31] pozic: i only read it on german newspage at http://www.heise.de/newsticker/Bericht-Microsofts-Bing-soll-fuer-Yahoo-suchen--/meldung/142597 perhaps you can find english one [11:31] how to detect person in my LAN which overloading network traffic [11:31] Spykemcc: XP. I know from reading things that it should all work fine, but I tried the other day and it er, didn't. I think that was more a problem with XP than Ubuntu though, and is probably sorted now. [11:31] Oh and I have a question regarding NVIDIA X Server Settings [11:32] kibibyte, I suggest using iptraf [11:32] kibibyte: if your interconnecting devices are not intelligent they you will have a hard job, you could nmap each pc (if you have a small handful) to see what is going on [11:32] How do I save settings? I use a resolution of 1152x864 and I have to set it back every time I boot [11:32] When I try Save to X configuration, it gives me an error about not being able to make a backup [11:32] durt/rntk: so it's both the MBR and a separate partition, if I understand that right? [11:32] candrodor: yes [11:32] arand: what is *.mimetype? [11:32] i need to know how i can see whats wrong with my boot sequence after running bootchart [11:33] candrodor: grub comes in two parts, one is installed to a normal partition, usually in /boot/grub/ on your ubuntu main partition, the other part is put in the mbr, which is a small section in the beginning of the hard-disk which basically says which partition to look for and start the grub loader from. [11:33] ah, ok! That makes a lot more sense now. [11:33] ibnulislam: you may have to use a small script to run the 'file' command on every file on your system, then test that output for a certain string [11:33] ActionParsnip, how?? [11:33] if you have more than 2Gb of ram > use gparted do a windows xp partition, one to save your windows datas and an ext3 partition for linux ... just save linux data in windows backup partition as shared datas ... [11:34] kibibyte: nmap is hugely complex, i suggest you research it some [11:34] nexTac: so Yahoo just has given up on search. [11:34] durt, iptraf is sniffer? [11:34] nexTac, pozic: the whole yahoo-bing-microsoft discussion is offtopic to this channel, take it elsewhere [11:34] ActionParsnip: Is there not any switch in find just like -type? [11:34] Myrtti: ok sry ;) [11:35] ibnulislam: any mimetype, i.e. if you're looking for .txt files you'd do ls *.txt, and for .ods ls *.ods etc... === maciej_ is now known as Lorbasek [11:35] candrodor: so just choose the MBR of your primary HD during your install (it is probably the default option, but check it anyways), e.g. /dev/sda [11:35] ibnulislam: theres -type which will filter files folders links special files blocks etc [11:35] someone know better tha arch linux ??? [11:35] than [11:35] ibnulislam: I think there are libraries to get the mimetype of files. [11:35] I used find . -exec file {} \: [11:35] Spykemcc: depends on your requirements [11:35] ibnulislam: so, you could use that in combination with find to do what you want. [11:36] Spykemcc: assuming I won't be needing to share many files, is it more effective to have an ntfs and an ext3 "storage" folder, and maybe a separate fat32 or even pendrive for when I do occasionally need to share things? [11:36] ibnulislam: sure, then you will need to grep that output for what you need [11:36] i need to know how i can see whats wrong with my boot sequence after running bootchart [11:36] ActionParsnip: But I need filtered records for a specific mime type. [11:36] candrodor: fat32 isnt very robust, ntfs is much better [11:36] rntk: when it refers to (hd0) in the install process, that's equivalent to /dev/sd1, right? 'cause of how Grub names things. [11:37] ibnulislam: yes, the output of file will be the mime type, you can grep that text, if there is a match then output the name to the terminal [11:37] I use ntfs for massive amount of datas between windows and linux ... you should be fine ... just remember to dismount the drive before reboot or shutdown ... [11:37] ibnulislam: i'd ask in #bash for further advice. it is more specific to your query [11:38] candrodor: no, hd0 is sda with no number to specify the partition. [11:38] no1 can help me? === adam is now known as Guest30008 [11:38] candrodor: I can't say that for certain, it might be different if you're installing from usb disk for example. I think there's a button called advanced where you can see the /dev/xxx type of listing [11:38] kibibyte, more of a simple traffic analyzer. [11:38] candrodor: and (hd,0) would be sda1 [11:39] and linux partition type drives can't be used in windows easily, so it's better to let linux handle ntfs ... [11:39] Spykemcc: you can use www.fs-driver.org [11:39] linux care about windows, but windows don't care about linux ... [11:39] Ah, ok. Awesome. [11:39] Spykemcc: there's an ext2 driver which works well [11:39] Spykemcc: but linux has ntfs-3g which can mount the ntfs as read /write (best effort) [11:39] I know but it can't be used for windows apps ... [11:40] (10:37:31 AM) Spykemcc: I use ntfs for massive amount of datas between windows and linux ... you should be fine ... just remember to dismount the drive before reboot or shutdown ... | That can be set to umount automatically, surely? [11:40] candrodor: sorry that was wrong (hd0,0) reperesents sda1 [11:40] the windows ext2 driver works fine [11:40] how do I change my home folder permissions so that other users cannot 'cd' into my home? [11:40] candrodor not sure about umount [11:41] brutus: encryp your home folder [11:41] h4ck3rs0nly, eh? I was thinking something on the lines of chmod/chgrp? [11:41] brutus: you marrk it as 700 [11:41] http://packages.ubuntu.com/ details "available" packages but where can I find out which ones are included as standard? [11:41] brutus: only the owner has any access at all [11:41] aah, i know noting about that [11:42] Spykemcc: candrodor: afaik, all drives are unmounted automatically on shutdown, so there is really no need to bother for a normal user... [11:42] i need to know how i can see whats wrong with my boot sequence after running bootchart [11:42] ActionParsnip, ok, thanks [11:43] matmo: I've been wondering that as well... [11:43] h4ck3rs0nly: try looking at the easier solutions first rather than jumping straigt in with huge changes like that [11:43] arand: did you find anything? [11:44] likw what? my computer is friggin fast but boots ubuntu after 1 min [11:44] h4ck3rs0nly: i was on about your advice to Brutus [11:44] aah yeah [11:45] thanks! [11:45] Oooh. I think I know what all my problems were. I think sdb is first on the boot order. And I'd just never realised before because I only had XP and I only ran it on sda, so it was never an issue. [11:45] h4ck3rs0nly: try this: http://digg.com/linux_unix/How_to_make_Ubuntu_extremely_fast [11:45] Now I've got XP on sdb and I'm putting Ubuntu on sda [11:45] ok ty, ill do [11:45] h4ck3rs0nly: you can tweak hdd performance with hdparm to get extra speed but if yiou push too far you can break them [11:45] E: core-util.c: Home directory /home/sweet not ours. [11:45] ALSA lib pulse.c:272:(pulse_connect) PulseAudio: Unable to connect: Connection refused [11:46] h4ck3rs0nly: the dual core booting thing is very handy :) [11:46] mrok :D [11:46] i have no sound D: [11:46] h4ck3rs0nly: backup any and all config files you edit === wojciech_ is now known as twoja_mama [11:46] candrodor: if you get ubuntu running but the grub doesn't show xp, i't can be fixed relatively easily by editing /boot/grub/menu.lst [11:47] candrodor: but it should work automatically of course [11:47] h4ck3rs0nly: basically, a default install of ubuntu has shockigly poor performance settings but this is to accommodate more systems, if you want speed you must tweak and play [11:48] ActionParsnip: really? how can i increase speed? [11:48] indus: read the guide i pasted [11:48] where , missed it [11:48] anyone know a sharepoint server for linuxÇ? [11:48] k saw it thanmks [11:49] rntk: thanks. I think I tried to get that working yesterday, but the xp install was just borked that time anyway. So one problem obscured another one. [11:49] egw_: sharepoint is microsoft technology [11:50] yes but i want to share files wiht differnt locations [11:50] and all files in a dedicated server over internet [11:50] matmo: unfortunately no. [11:50] egw_: that can be achieved with other methods than sharepoint [11:50] and the most secure is sharepoint or there is other method? [11:50] waht methods? i want versionating with the files and access log or modifiy log [11:51] egw_: version control systems, like svn, bzr or mercurial come to mind [11:51] or git [11:52] how do i fix so that I dont have to use sudo at a specifik place outside /home ? [11:52] sudo -S [11:53] hi, i'm having trouble installing polkit-dbus [11:53] lokpest: you'll be picking blood from your nose if you go changing the user access rights, sudo is a perfectly valid system and it can be overridden in special occasions, if the need is really needed [11:53] but waht software? [11:53] (that didn't make much sense, more coffee) [11:55] ActionParsnip: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-180 shows an error....u can see the error at -> http://pastebin.com/d7b90a3c4 [11:56] Myrtti: but I have a harddrive partition /media/extra that use to be my windows-install (now empty) where I want to host my virtualbox WinXP...

Can anyone confirm this is the case? I am about to write some advice for users and would like to be sure that when I say "it is installed as standard" that I am correct? [12:00] Myrtti: and how do I do that? [12:00] ActionParsnip: am downloading a codec,...then I'll do [12:01] lokpest: mount has a good manpage, there's a specific explanation about user rights such as guid, uid etc. [12:01] prospire: if you come unstuck you can run the graphic fix in grub's recovery mode [12:01] prospire: afaik, you dont have to run nvidia-xcong [12:01] any clues on how to get anywhere with this: http://pastebin.com/m6fc8693 ?

[12:28] Spykemcc: its very good [12:28] papapep, yea that's what I'm using atm. And as I wrote there's problems with the wlan for wpa support and also some problems with suspend mode [12:28] Spykemcc: yeah you can also edit the pages [12:28] spykemcc: http://www.vtc.com/products/Ubuntu-Linux-tutorials.htm [12:28] add your own experience [12:28] Spykemcc: you may want to clarify the question a bit also. [12:28] Spykemcc: if you update them they will improve, moaning does nothing [12:29] You probably wont find as much variety in documentation anywhere else [12:29] Should I just reboot wtih the reset button on the case? [12:29] I will begin by making tutorials as I'm not a programmer so html codes aren't for me, but I will accept if it's included for me in the doc ... [12:29] 'ubuntu specific' is not really a imporntant part of learning the core of linux. [12:29] community docs is best, i remember one user adding how he got his cannon printer working there [12:30] koltroll: don't think any other ubuntu flavor is better adapted to that kind of devices [12:30] http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/ Spykemcc enjoy [12:30] is there are PPPOE GUI for wireless ? :-$ [12:30] bazhang more for advanced users and professionnals ... [12:30] papapep, allrighty :/ I was considering eeebuntu. But then again there's so many ubuntu flavors out there, so knowing which one's "gonna work best" feels almost impossible [12:30] hello Im try to fix the grub file after installing a XP. But when Im trying to find /boot/grub/stage 1 he could find it. this is my fdisk list http://pastie.org/560113 [12:30] Spykemcc, then check help.ubuntu.com and wiki as well [12:31] !ppoe [12:31] Sorry, I don't know anything about ppoe [12:31] !pppoe [12:31] Setting up an ADSL/PPPoE connection? Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ADSLPPPoE [12:31] Spykemcc: if you want more 'advanced' docs - you need to look for docs specific to the advanced topic you are intereested.. apt, apache, bash, and so on. [12:31] koltroll: I understand. UNR is improving rapidly, so I guess it's just a matter of time it works better in your pc [12:31] Spykemcc: how about man pages [12:31] I'll try the reisub thing. [12:31] papapep, yea I guess you're right about that [12:31] Spykemcc: and corresponding website [12:31] @ubottu: where can i find !root and !wfm? ( the google results are not promising... ) [12:31] neo8848: ! stuff are bot commands. [12:32] !root | neo8848 [12:32] neo8848: 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 [12:32] thanks ActionParsnip, but i need GUI , not to used 'sudo pppoeconf' [12:32] more like good blogs tutorials and so on ... [12:32] ow ubuntu spanish?? [12:32] Hello everyone. [12:32] neo8848: and ubottu is a bot. :) [12:32] koltroll: keep in mind that suspend and all the power saving issues is not only a problem in the netbooks area, it's widely spread in all laptops... [12:32] channel spanish?? [12:32] !es | tr4sh [12:32] tr4sh: 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. [12:32] Leoneof: sometimes the terminal is a good choice [12:32] tr4sh: ubuntu-es? [12:32] tr4sh, /join #ubuntu-es [12:32] thank you [12:33] I think I need to set permissions for the DVD burner before I can burn a disc, does anyone know where I can do this? [12:33] ACtionParsnip: i just want to use double click on icon to run PPPOE , like in windows, i got tired with Terminal [12:33] ActionParsnip* [12:33] pdelgallego_: /dev/sda5 seems to be where you installed ubuntu to, so that is hd0,4 in grub naming scheme [12:33] Cammy: it shouldn't be necessary to do that, in a "normal" installation [12:34] ActionParsnip: isnt nm-applet a gui for configuring pppoe also? since 9.04 [12:34] Can anybody tell me what does this mean: Received CTCP 'VERSION' (to jacosis) from freenode-connect.:) [12:34] jacosis: the irc server just versioned you... not a big deal. [12:34] indus: i dont use pppoe, i just know of pppoeconf [12:34] http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org//jeu?redirect=1#encore_plus_de_jeux|http://free.korben.info/index.php/Accueil|http://www.vivezvege.blogspot.com/|http://tuxtraining.com/2008/09/28/how-to-make-ubuntu-extremely-fast/|http://www.techradar.com/news/software/operating-systems/50-amazing-ubuntu-time-saving-tips-482714|http://lunduke.com/?p=616|http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/installation_minimale|http://www.ubuntu-fr.org/|http://www.ubuntumini.com/|http://www.ubuntu1501.co [12:34] m/|http://www.ubuntugeek.com/|http://www.howtoforge.com/howtos/linux/ubuntu|http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Hardy|https://help.ubuntu.com/|https://wiki.ubuntu.com/|http://www.tldp.org/|http://rute.2038bug.com/index.html.gz|https://help.ubuntu.com/community|http://www.vtc.com/products/Ubuntu-Linux-tutorials.htm [12:35] Spykemcc: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [12:35] Spykemcc, dont paste that here [12:35] that's for helping others if they need [12:35] I got tons of ubuntu related and linux related docs at my delicious web siet. :) [12:36] Spykemcc: that was a rather ugly paste. :) [12:36] Spykemcc, the ubuntu help docs are fine [12:36] Hi all [12:36] hi [12:36] quisiera saber si me podeis ayudar a levantar un servidor irc para algunos trabajores de mi empresa. [12:36] anyone have a jdownloader alternative? [12:36] Spykemcc: just imagine everybody begins to "help" that way in the channel... [12:36] I wondered if I can help lift a worker for some irc server for my business. [12:36] i m using ubuntu 9.04 [12:36] tr4sh, English here [12:36] Dr_Willis: so the line in grub to do ubuntu the default option should be something like install (hd0,4)/boot/grub/stage1 (hd0) [12:36] i installed qt 4.5 manually [12:37] but i cant find qmake [12:37] i've question if some one can answer me [12:37] !ask | kurdology [12:37] kurdology: 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. :-) [12:37] pdelgallego_: I forget. i rarely have to mess with grub. i would suggest rereading the 'restoring grub after you install windows' docs closely. most lilkely you can boot the live cd and chroot over (or somthing) and do a 'grub-install hd0' [12:38] ok [12:38] pdelgallego_: or 'install (hd0) from the grub 'command line' ' perhaps [12:38] pdelgallego_: what is the problem.You trying to restore grub? [12:39] indus: Yes I install XP and it destroy the grub [12:39] the new version of ubunto when relased iv'e ubuntu 9.4 but i need to know when the lastest version has been relased [12:39] Dr Willis: Thank you. [12:39] Dr_Willis: mind if i help pdelgallego? [12:39] hi everybody [12:39] kurdology, 9.04 is the latest release [12:39] pdelgallego_: you have a live cd with you? [12:39] indus: go for it. Im about ready for bed. :) i just answered a specific question he asked. :) /dev/sda5 = hd0,4 [12:40] indus: yes I booted using the live cd [12:40] pdelgallego_:how many hard disks you have? and on which one is windows [12:40] kurdology, lets keep questions in channel [12:40] sorry [12:40] pdelgallego_: paste output of sudo fdisk -l [12:41] Dr_Willis: good night then :) [12:41] indus: Only one. This is my fdisk -l http://pastie.org/560113 [12:41] i mean the new version of ubuntu when relase [12:42] pdelgallego_: in terminal type sudo grub [12:42] kurdology, the next release? in October 2009 discussion in #ubuntu+1 [12:42] pdelgallego_: then type find /boot/grub/stage1 [12:42] indus: ok [12:42] i manually installed qt 4.5 from http://www.qtsoftware.com/downloads [12:42] indus: (hd0,4) [12:42] pdelgallego_: root (hd0,4) [12:43] but terminal say no qmake command found [12:43] what should i do? [12:43] pdelgallego_: finally setup (hd0) [12:43] pdelgallego_: done :) restart [12:43] !find qmake [12:43] Found: qt4-qmake [12:43] indus: Ok Im going to restart. thank you [12:43] ok [12:44] MaNU_: may be a good idea to stick with the repos to install things.. [12:44] could anyone help me with any of a few system setup issues please? (1: nautilus won't automount usb drives, can mount manually but no automount) (2: area of desktop is larger than physical screen after removing second monitor) (3: pci wifi card sees networks but can't connect to them) [12:44] Dr_Willis: Yeah, then you could just update-alternatives --config qmake and switch it to 4.5 version [12:44] but i needed latest version of qt [12:44] is there a way to make dpkg ignore errors in the postrm script? [12:44] now its in /usr/share [12:45] i installed it in there [12:45] MaNU_: The repo version is 4.5? [12:45] yes === cWex_iMutZz is now known as ce_pinter [12:46] hello everybody [12:46] heya [12:46] bondarev: choose one issue and get that nailed [12:46] hi [12:47] i'm looking for some help with ubuntu... is there someone i could ask to? [12:47] bondarev: i suggest you run: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg then restart x, you can then reconfigure video settings witha fresh config file [12:47] what should i do to get qmake work in terminal? [12:47] !ask | il_conte [12:47] il_conte: 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. :-) [12:48] i have manually installed qt 4.5 in /usr/share/ [12:48] ok ubottu. thankyou. i am looking for a way to install ubuntu on a usb drive. i'd like to have a command line only install... a minimal one. is there a way to achieve it? [12:48] typing qmake in terminal says not found? === surfbum is now known as tc1 [12:48] MaNU_: type the full path to the command? [12:49] PATH=/usr/share/qtsdk-2009.03/qt/bin:$PATH [12:49] like this? [12:49] its workin nw [12:49] #ubuntu-fr [12:49] but when i close the terminal its gone?? [12:50] ActionParsnip: I'll try that, but before I do, how do I save my existing settings in case I need to restore them?...also, help with any of the 3 is appreciated, I just listed all of them since I don't know which is easiest to address for those watching [12:50] il_conte: ubottu is a bot. :) you can use various tools to do a 'live cd' install to a flash drive.. if you wanted.. andyou can install to a external usb hard drivealso. but you may need to change the grub settings because the installer can get confused. [12:50] bondarev: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf_27thJun09 will do it [12:50] ActionParsnip: I got it working through mdadm in the installer :) [12:50] Dr_Willis:,PATH=/usr/share/qtsdk-2009.03/qt/bin:$PATH [12:51] doing this gives [12:51] thanks, I'll see if that works [12:51] Is this still a valid way of fixing grub (only, it seems like it's basically just reinstalling ubuntu but pretending not to be) for Hardy? http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-24113.html [12:51] MaNU_: that would do it for one shell.. you need to export the path from a .bashrc or similer config file to make it perlenet [12:51] peterva: wtg :D [12:51] sites which have multiple dl links for downloading 1 file jdownloader can do all of them at once but does anyone have an alternelative that can do the same? the scheduler doesnt work in jdownloader [12:51] hw can i do that [12:51] hai [12:51] peterva: in my fileserver the installers only sees one drive despite their being 4 disks [12:51] MaNU_: edit the .bashrc or whatever file that has the path set in it. [12:52] peterva: works immediately :D [12:52] how to search for files with .od? extension (.od and any character)? [12:52] MaNU_: you may want to read up on bash basics befor going hard core into qt development. :) [12:52] where can i find .bashrc [12:52] kk [12:52] yeah, that's hardware-raid, but we didn't want that, since it's harder to monitor when a disk fails :) [12:52] MaNU_: its in the users home directory like all other user config files. [12:52] pkkm: sudo find / -name "*.od" [12:53] Dr_Willis :) thanks... i just want to have a persistent install, and i don't know how.... and, i want a cli only... i didn't found what you said... so i am asking [12:53] pkkm: not sure about the 3rd any character thoug [12:53] MaNU_: ahh. its set in .profile now on ubuntu it seems [12:53] !usb | il_conte [12:53] il_conte: 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 [12:53] pkkm: try "*.od*" maybe [12:53] thank you so much bazhang :) [12:54] il_conte: there are ways to have a persistant save 'settings' with a live cd type install to a flash drive. best of both worlds if you move the drive from pc to pc. the pendrivelinux web site has tutorials on doing that. [12:54] can someone help me please [12:54] il_conte: do a persistant live cd type install using the alternative installer cd perhaps. or use the desktop cd and disable the gdm service. is one way [12:55] i need to configure the pearpc [12:55] pearpc? [12:55] yes [12:55] bonsai_: What does that have to do with Ubuntu? [12:55] i installed the pearpc on ubuntu [12:55] to install mac osx tiger on ubuntu [12:55] bonsai_: Is that a package in our repositories? [12:55] should i edit the previous path [12:56] yes [12:56] i installed from synaptic [12:56] ar just add new path for qmake [12:56] ActionParsnip: I'll use *.od?, thank you very much [12:56] whats the best screen recorder? [12:56] Dr_Willis: ok thank you for the info... i will look on the pendrivelinux website :) [12:56] !info pearpc [12:56] pearpc (source: pearpc): PowerPC architecture emulator. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.4.0-3.1 (jaunty), package size 357 kB, installed size 960 kB (Only available for i386 amd64 kfreebsd-i386 hurd-i386) [12:56] MaNU_: im not clear on what you are doing. If you want to add that directory to your path. you need to edit the proper PATH= line, and add it to the path. [12:56] witch path i need to edit [12:56] ? [12:57] but will it cause any problems for other tools [12:57] ?? [12:57] MaNU_: No idea on what other tools you mean. [12:57] MaNU_: You can set the path for a single shell if you wanted to. [12:57] ok [12:57] pkkm: np, if thats what works, use it [12:57] i have bever edited bash before [12:57] export PATH=NEW/Place/TO/Add:$PATH [12:58] !dontzap > bondarev [12:58] bondarev, please see my private message [12:58] i should type this in terminal [12:58] MaNU_: you may want to invest the time in reading up on bash basics befor getting into QT development then. [12:58] kk [12:58] bonsai_: It would probably be best to ask in #pearpc and look at the documentation at [12:58] setting the PATH is a rather fundamental thing you should learn about. [12:58] bonsai_: http://pearpc.sourceforge.net/doc.html === kaytherion is now known as azarion [12:58] I've got an apt-get query. Regardless of what frontend one uses to apt-get is there a way to keep a log of what packages I installed in the last login session or say last 12 hrs. I connect my machine to the net sometimes to get new package list and browse through them and choose a few to check out. Now y'all know how enormous the total number of packages are, even selecting a few from those would still mean I [12:58] got quite a few that I won't remember. I select the ones I need installed and then keep apt-get to download overnight, but next morning without a log, its hard to remember all the apps I installed coz some are totally new for me and I only realise those packages as installed as the ones which come in the GUI menu, but not all packages have GUI or are menu-aware [12:59] dpreacher: /var/log/dpkg.log [12:59] thanks Pici [12:59] Pici: nice, all that text, then a simple file ref ;) [13:00] hello? [13:00] ActionParsnip :) well sometimes it takes hours to complete my selections n next morning i've no clue what to look...its actually quite funny [13:00] dpreacher: thats one reason i do a 'clean reinstall' every 6 months. :) === nicolas_ is now known as Guest28565 [13:00] why'd you do that Dr_Willis? [13:01] Dr_Willis: i do it every new release [13:01] dpreacher: i keep a list of stuff i want,, and every 6 mo . when a new relese comes out.. i do a reinstall, cleaning out the cruft i 'looked at' and just reinstall what i got in my 'must have list' [13:01] dpreacher: with home on its own partition. its rather trivial to do. :) [13:01] Dr_Willis: how do you successfully save all your settings for all your programs and still do a clean install every 6 months? [13:02] dpreacher: gets rid of old bits and bats, makes the system fresh. not necessary but nice imho [13:02] Dr_Willis: script the removal and addition of stuff once you get to the other side too ;) [13:02] mazda01_: all the user settings are in their home directory. Other then a few other files in /etc/ i dont have a lot of 'settings' for all my programs. to backup. [13:02] what about all the config files stored in /etc/? [13:02] mazda01_: i save the samba config.. and thats about it... what else do ya keep? [13:02] I've been doing clean installs, but then both cruft and must-have goes away, so I'd need to reinstall them. I was thinking of trying a upgrade through a ubuntu-alternate cd. Dr_Willis [13:03] Which is better debfoster or deborphan? [13:03] dpreacher: ive heard either can be dangerous if not used with care. :) [13:03] dpreacher: there is no better, they are both different apps [13:03] but i confused them to be the same... [13:03] dpreacher: i use deborphan quite a bit [13:04] but i remember havin used one [13:04] long back [13:04] Dr_Willis: sbackup.conf, updatedb.conf, and many others but I don't do a clean install every 6 months though so I can't remember what I all backup. I just backup everything with sbackup besides /proc/ and like 5 other directories. [13:04] dpreacher: read their man pages online and evaluate [13:04] I do have a separate /home partition Dr_Willis, I can't risk losing that. [13:04] mazda01_: i dont recall ever altering much in /etc/ other then the samba config. [13:05] dpreacher: back it up.. :) [13:05] dpreacher: back it up.. regullary... [13:05] Dr_Willis: sshd.conf? [13:05] ActionParsnip: yeap [13:05] Dr_Willis: hosts [13:05] ActionParsnip: i rarely customize that either. [13:05] ActionParsnip: yeap [13:05] Dr_Willis: resolv.conf [13:05] ActionParsnip so far I've been doing clean reinstall, except I don't alter the preferences that apps store in my home dir [13:05] ActionParsnip: you're hitting em all on the head [13:05] ActionParsnip: i can make a new one of hosts easially enough. mnever edited resolv.conf either that i recall. [13:05] * Dr_Willis wonders why these people need to edit all these files.. [13:05] :) [13:06] Dr_Willis: i'm lazy and use dnsmasq and cant be bothered to reconfigure resolv.conf or dnsmasq.conf ;) === Caplain_ is now known as Caplain [13:06] Dr_Willis, yeah...so far I've still risked it without a separate backup drive. You think FreeAgent drives are good? anyone else, any other opinion? [13:06] BLEHHH 2 all u lzrs of the world [13:06] xD [13:06] LoL [13:06] Dr_Willis: I use opendns, because my router doesn't properly forward dns requests [13:06] i know, im so funny [13:06] Kacunica: what are you talking about ? [13:07] BYE [13:07] dpreacher: anything seagate with a 5 year warrenty is good for me. i have much success with seagate. [13:07] dpreacher: i stick with Segate Exteranal usb hard drives.. their warrenty plan gave me a new 500gb hd last month. :) [13:07] thanks mazda01_ [13:07] so I just upgraded my virtual machine (using Virtual Box) to 9.04, and after rebooting I boot into "Failed to start the X server". looking further, it instructs me to restart GDM when it is configured correctly. I can at least access terminal, where do I configure GDM? [13:07] dpreacher: and it auto-powers off when the pc turns off. :) some externas dont do that. [13:07] wow Dr_Willis [13:08] TacticSiege: it will be your xorg virtual video card configuration [13:08] mazda01_: i have a script to use or copy tonnes of guff off my fileserver to configure it, it also guts a large portion of the OS out and installs updates + apps I actually use [13:08] TacticSiege: did you have the vmware- guest addatiomns installed? You may need to reinstall them [13:08] yea [13:08] Dr_Willis but u lost data on the old drive [13:08] tactic i had the same problem [13:09] with a fresh install [13:09] dpreacher: thats why one has backups..... === charlie__ is now known as Chaz_ [13:09] ok great, thank you all [13:09] so you had backups of backups Dr_Willis [13:09] had to install the guest addons from the 9.04 repos [13:09] then it worked [13:09] dpreacher: yes I do. [13:09] I'm just a home user...single machine backup...how many drives will I keep adding [13:09] :( [13:09] dpreacher: on a shelf above me.. i have a 1tb and a 1.5tb external usb drives. :) [13:10] dpreacher: and i am a home user. :) [13:10] dpreacher: then i got a 2 500gb's in the case. [13:10] does anyone know if there is a special #room for ubuntu netbook remix ? [13:10] so seagate external drives are AC powered.. I was thinking USB was for drawing power as well [13:10] Dr_Willis [13:10] well, thank you all very much for the info... i'll go trying now :) [13:10] see you soon! [13:10] no matter how big the HDDs, they just fill up [13:10] dpreacher: drives powered JUST by the usb port will be the more expensive laptop-sized hard drives and slower... [13:10] it's in their nature ;) [13:11] I'm a home user and a student, just started working in a small firm, I'll need time to reach your level Dr_Willis [13:11] dpreacher: like 2x the cost per gb. [13:11] ohh [13:11] pete_: not here, i keep my fluff to a minimum [13:11] hi i went into the synaptic and installed the usb image writer but i cant find it anywhere in application places nor system is there a shortcut anywhere.. can someone guide me [13:11] heh, ok [13:11] dpreacher: i have several external usb portable hard drives also. :) [13:11] all are seagate? Dr_Willis [13:12] sleepy_cat: try typing sudo usb then press tab a few times [13:12] dpreacher: nope.. but the one i had die.. was. :) and its now been replaced for free. [13:12] but I wouldn't call my 2x20GB virtual xp and virtual ubuntu fluff ;) - they might get pissed [13:12] dpreacher: in the future i will be using seagate mor. [13:12] and you don't want a pissed off OS, not even a virtual one.. [13:12] ok so what do u backup seagate drives to and wait for new free drives Dr_Willis [13:12] dpreacher: its amazing when you can replace 4 drives with ONE.. :) for under $100 [13:13] 4 drives with one...how? [13:13] pete_: ive never seen an annoyed OS [13:13] ActionParsnip: there is no shortcut on the panel [13:13] Dr_Willis [13:13] dpreacher: I had 4 smaller drives.. 250gb's replaced them with one 1TB drive. [13:13] yeah, when I was buying hard drives 5 years ago, they were 200 for 500gb, now you can get 1.5 TB for what, 150? [13:13] dpreacher: 2TB drives are getting cheaper also. [13:13] sleepy_cat: You said, I know, thats why i'm getting you to look in the terminal [13:13] mazda01_: i found a 1.5tb on sale for $110 [13:14] yes i found it in the terminal [13:14] i thought the only maker of 2TB was western digital? i wouldn't by them. myself as well as my dad has lost data with western digital [13:14] Hmm, I think I either need a faster processor or more RAM :> XP runs smoothly in VirtualBox 3.0.2, even Direct3d, but it's intermittently smooth...there's a whole lot of "stutters" where everything seems to be going slowly for a few seconds, then it's fine again [13:14] sleepy_cat: then run it from there, its the same thing [13:14] Dr_Willis: where at? [13:14] In my currency, 500gb drives cost around 4000 bucks or so...I think as someone starting to earn, Its better I give that a try. [13:14] action, you're a lucky man then [13:14] hmm ok [13:14] mazda01_: frys, on a holiday special [13:14] OS's are sensitive creatures [13:14] Dr_Willis: NICE DEAL. [13:14] thanks.. can i use the iso-editor in the synaptic to make an iso image file of the Ubuntu 9.04 CD [13:14] pete_: not if you dont start playinig with their innards too much [13:14] thanks Dr_Willis mazda01_ and ActionParsnip :) [13:15] Thers that UbuntuOne Service thats in the works.. that gives you Online Storage also. :) [13:15] dpreacher: what am I being thanked for? [13:15] mazda01_ dont feel like scrolling up... [13:15] :P [13:15] seeya later [13:15] yea.. but some of them are asking for it: "Come on my big bad user.. You don't want to see what's inside me?" How can you resist? [13:16] Dr_Willis: ubuntuone service, online storage? cool. they want to be like apple with their mobleme [13:16] pete_: uh...is this going anywhere? [13:16] pete_: you can see all you like, its when new users start messing with very sensitive system files then wonder why their OS won't boot that you have to worry about [13:16] mazda01_: saw it mentioned in the release notes for the next release. :) apple has sort of downplated that feature also it seems... [13:17] mazda01_: its a neat idea.. and handy.. just need to get more standardized. and cheaper! [13:17] well, that's just all part of the learning process [13:17] you get a bruise and learn from it [13:17] mazda01_: ive seen some live cd that have a 'persistant save' over the network feature also. (in testing) [13:18] Dr_Willis: agreed. I do use mobileme because I have an iphone, so I want to make sure my 1500 contacts, memos, calander are backed up besides on my computer. it does it all via push, very nice feature. I paid $99 (us) for the year for that feature though [13:18] all my contacts.. fit on a 3x5 card.. with room to spare. [13:18] Dr_Willis: i never had much luck with livecd's. how much ram do you need for the livecd's to be not noticable speed slowness. bad wording i know [13:18] Dr_Willis: ha. ha ha ha [13:19] mazda01_: depends on the live cd.. 512mb min i would suggest. i always make a swap partition on every hd on eveyr system.. just incase I use a live cd on them [13:20] mazda01_: if you get about 3Gb ram you can use your OS in ram and use the drive partitions as pure storage (provided you never reboot) ;) [13:20] Dr_Willis: WOW, no way. I have used a live cd on my mahcine with 1.5gb of ram and it was noticably slow. how can you make a livecd use a swap partition? I'll have to look that up sometime. i thought the whole thing with a livecd was so that you didn't haev to modify the machine at all. [13:20] does anyone know how to get the rhythmbox music player in ubuntu to not search for PLUGINS ITS NEVER GOING TO FIND EVERY TIME IT FREAKING STARTS UP [13:20] mazda01_: most live cds see/use a swap partition if one exists. [13:21] myself, no caps [13:21] Dr_Willis: oh, ok. [13:21] !caps [13:21] PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [13:21] mazda01_: with 1.5gb of ram.. many live cd's have a 'toram' option where they run totally from ram. [13:21] !caps myself [13:21] Sorry, I don't know anything about caps myself [13:21] Hi everyone. I remember coming across a library for linux which tracks specific points on a video as they move. Basically, it finds dots or specific points on a webcam feed, and can relay their x,y coordinates. Does anyone know the name of this library? I know I also saw it in the ubuntu apt-get repository, somewhere. === xiaoyu is now known as xiaoyuhum [13:22] ActionParsnip: got it, I saw the other day some new motherboards at tigerdirect.com and they could accept like 24gb of ram. and then new Intel Core i7 Quad core [13:23] mazda01_: buy what suits your needs === xiaoyuhum is now known as xiaoyuzh [13:23] Buy what fits your budget. :) [13:24] myself, check plugins and disable the ones you dont want [13:24] ActionParsnip: yeah I know, it's just amazing how much computers are coming along. My dad has an old Macintosh Plus with it's 512mb hard drive and I don't even know how much ram [13:24] mazda01_: gonna get me an aspire revo. looks sweeet [13:24] edit --> plugins myself [13:25] 640KB should be enough for everyone ;) [13:25] bazhang what plugns [13:25] hey, how do i mount a floppy -> i inserted a drive but i can't see anything in /dev/fd? [13:25] bazhang it searches for plugins that don't exist, every time i start it up [13:26] bazhang what plugin do i disable for it to stop doing that [13:26] radmila: do a mount -a [13:26] radmila: sudo modprobe floppy [13:26] or that [13:26] myself, uncheck the ones in edit--> plugins [13:26] radmila: then run: sudo /etc/init.d/hal restart [13:26] ActionParsnip: yeah, I have a Powerbook G4 and want to install Ubuntu on it but it's a PPC chip and I have read not such good things about ubuntu on PPC. I have to first figure out how to shrink the HFS+ drive to make room for ubuntu and I read I have to use a certain distro livecd because gparted livecd doesn't have something compiled into it. then I'd have to turn off journaling on my mac so on and so on, it seems not worth it. I just [13:27] all okay [13:27] hi all. Is there a way I can get ssh to tunnel in the opposite direction ie. to allow an inward connection? [13:27] mazda01_: it runs great, just that theres no adobe flash for it [13:28] mazda01_: ive not used hfs so couldnt comment on the resize [13:28] ActionParsnip: no adobe flash for what? [13:28] mazda01_: ppc [13:28] ActionParsnip: oh [13:28] mazda01_: gotta use gnash of swfplayer [13:28] zim: have a look at the "-R" switch for ssh [13:28] ActionParsnip: i wasnt' aware of that. does gnash work on ppc? [13:28] bazhang i unchecked all the plugins except last.fm and it still does that [13:28] sipior: ty will do [13:29] ActionParsnip: I couldn't be without youtube and facebook farm town. [13:29] myself, resize to tray or quit completely and restart; what plugins is it searching for [13:29] ActionParsnip: oh, you already responded. thanks [13:29] Hi peoples [13:29] hi libertad0 [13:29] How I could to install ubuntu from windows?. I have the image ISO, but I don't have cd for burn [13:29] mazda01_: yes gnash works on ppc [13:30] I want to boot that image salved in my dd [13:30] bazhang it searches for x-mswinurl decoder [13:30] my Hard Disk [13:30] libertad0, use a usb stick [13:30] I dont have usb stick [13:30] libertad0: http://www.instantfundas.com/2007/08/install-any-linux-distro-directly-from.html [13:31] i have never been able to get gnash to work [13:31] ActionParsnip, thanks, that seemed to have worked; where can i edit modprobe.conf or whatever ubuntu uses to know what it mounts, so modprobe floppy will be executed on next restart? [13:32] radmila: gksudo gedit /etc/modules [13:32] ActionParsnip, more like sudo vim /etc/modules, but thanks :) [13:32] radmila: type floppy at the bottom and press enter on the end of it, save the new file [13:32] radmila: if you prefer [13:33] !irc . bondarev [13:33] Sorry, I don't know anything about irc . bondarev [13:33] !irc > bondarev [13:33] bondarev, please see my private message [13:34] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+bug/343707 myself seems to be this bug, check the debdiff lower down [13:34] yea im raeding that thread now [13:35] good morning all [13:35] where can i get the latest version of rhythmbox [13:36] myself: in their development branch http://projects.gnome.org/rhythmbox/development.html [13:36] i se [13:37] goodmorning CopyWriter [13:37] does anyone know if ubuntu is hiring for paid tech support? === Wajih is now known as MaWaLe [13:38] i am currently unemployed and would love to get paid for helping others out with ubuntu. i don't know it all but can always seem to find the answer somehow. [13:38] mazda01_: you could start your own business [13:39] Bonjour === stella is now known as Guest35239 [13:39] mazda01_: as you see in this channel, people get nothing for doing support [13:40] ActionParsnip: true. i had an ad in the paper awhile ago but only got one job out of it. I setup their house with mythtv, 1 backend and 4 frontends. got paid a pretty penny too. not many people must of saw my ad or because teh economy is crap no one wants to spend money on entertainment systems [13:40] iceroot: i said, paid support. companies do pay for ubuntu support. [13:40] mazda01_: true, well you gotta chill for a bit then [13:41] whats the name of 9.04 [13:41] strange: Juanty Jackalope [13:41] Jaunty [13:41] sorry [13:41] !9.04 [13:41] Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) is the current release of Ubuntu. Download: http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.04/ - Release Info: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/904 - Please use !torrents [13:41] thx [13:42] ubottu: you're quick. and yes I know you're only a bot [13:42] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [13:42] If I have shared IP between two ubuntu servers and one of them is holding it as eth0:0 is it possible to just add an interface into /etc/network/interfaces on the other server under eth0:0 to have it take the IP? Like by adding iface eth0:0 inet static and then the address? [13:42] ha, i love that message [13:42] mazda01_: thats true but companies usually using other (professional) linux-versions like SLES/SLED or Red Hat and UCS [13:42] Sirisian|Work__: you'd be better off forwarding ports and using a single IP [13:43] <{g}> Hey People! How do I edit which partition grub boots by default? [13:43] Is there anyway I can make .pyc files hidden? === am4zin is now known as amazin [13:43] fivetwentysix: start filename with "." [13:43] ActionParsnip, well I did have heartbeat running for failover, but I've made a new server, so I just need to temporarily switch the IP over manually. If that makes sense. [13:43] fivetwentysix: if it's got a . in front of it, it should already be hidden [13:43] iceroot, they don't start with ., [13:44] iceroot, You know what pyc files are right? [13:44] fivetwentysix: doesnt matter what they are [13:44] {g}: change the "default" entry in /boot/grub/menu.lst [13:44] fivetwentysix: .thisishidde.pyc thisisnothidden.pyc [13:44] fivetwentysix: in unix based systems, if the file name starts with . then it is hiddent [13:44] <{g}> sipior: thanks! [13:44] www.e-facto.com/admin login: 'or '1'='1' or '2' = ' no password a french company spezialised in webdeveloppement secure O_o !!! [13:45] ActionParsnip, I see that my tmp files ending with ~ are hidden... [13:45] fivetwentysix: you want them to be hidden in nautilus, bash, or both? because there may be a config file to modify in nautilus to make foo.pyc hidden [13:45] lulusux, dont advertise here [13:45] lulusux: go away. [13:45] fivetwentysix: try it with a test file [13:45] mazda01, Well nautailus for starters [13:45] does anyone know how to enable mounting of usb drives through Nautilus? I can mount just fine from command line, and going to "Computer" in nautilus shows the drive, but trying to mount it there gives an error of "Unable to mount location"..."Can't mount file" [13:47] Hi all [13:47] fivetwentysix: here's some script that will do it with the right click menu in nautilus [13:47] hi nanderv [13:47] fivetwentysix: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=789684 [13:47] I have a question [13:47] mazda01, thank you [13:48] bondarev1: it should just mount automagically. if it doesn't, you need to remove them from your fstab. it's an action controlled bby hal. the prefs are within nautilus prefs [13:48] nanderv: just ask, someone will help if they can [13:48] Is it possible to assign a word to a key (that if you press the 'e' button for example, that it types in a word) [13:48] nanderv: just ask you question [13:48] nanderv: in bash? [13:48] Yes [13:48] hi, I'm not sure of the protocols here for asking questions. Do I just jump in or is there a queue? [13:49] Hello guys i have a laptop running a ATI HD 3650 video card, I am trying to configure twinview two or 3 monitos, how can I do this ? [13:49] sfstikkun: jump in [13:50] nanderv: those are called alias's. here ya go: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=89732 [13:50] sfstikkun: just ask your question [13:50] Thanks, WholeGrains. When I down loaded the last distro 9.04, files were left on my computer that shouldn't be on it. What is the best program for cleaning out such files? [13:51] oshua86: don't use ATI so I can't help sorry. nvidia has nvidia-settings which makes life much easier [13:51] mazda: it doesn't automount, and it's not in fstab, this happens with all external drives, in fact, it only automounts drives that I manually put into fstab [13:51] sfstikkun: So you upgraded from an earlier version? [13:51] bondarev1: what verison of ubuntu? [13:51] 9.04 [13:51] Thanx, but this is not really what I want.. I [13:52] bondarev1: i'll be brb, i am goign to sit at my ubutnu comp0uter instead of this mac running os x [13:52] WholeGrains, yes, and my lastest distro is fully operational but I keep getting the messages about upgrading programs that can't be upgraded. It's not stopping my use of my computer but its time wasting and annoying. [13:53] am building an arcade cabinet and I want the text OK to be assigned to one button. This button is a construction over a default keyboard. If the user presses the button, the key underneath it is pressed. I don't want a normal keyboard to be the using input device. [13:54] hello [13:54] sfstikkun: Maybe System>Administration>Computer Janitor....or from the command line 'sudo apt-get autoremove' [13:54] everytime i click system > preferenceS > appearance > and change to "extra" in the visual effects tab, it changes my minimize, mazimise, and exit buttons, the toolbar etc [13:54] sfstikkun: Hopefully that is what you want. [13:54] wb mazda [13:54] and it doesnt remember that "extra" is on once i reboot so i cant run docky, but the buttons are still changed [13:54] WholeGrains, thank you. I'll download Janitor and see if that takes care of the problem. [13:55] bondarev1, ok, in system, prefs, removable drives and media. do you have that showing a check box for mount removable media? [13:55] anyone have a suggestion as to which control panel would be best for a server? [13:56] is there some thing like an application or what every can help to blacklisted some specify files by name? [13:56] Vaevictus, control panel? [13:56] Like CPanel, Direct Admin, etc? [13:56] there is no 'removable drives and media' under system->prefs [13:56] mazda01: yes. clients access a webpage to adjust their shell/webhost/etc settings [13:56] I got an image file of 700 MB can i furthur compress it to make it aroung 600 MB something [13:56] nanderv: yes, like those [13:57] behappy, i am only aware of the config files blacklist*. just do a find for blacklist [13:57] Do you want to pay for it? [13:57] nanderv: i don't have the option. :) [13:57] bondarev1, ok, that must be left over from when I upgraded from hardy, then to intrpid, then to jaunty, did you check in nautilus, prefs, media? [13:57] nanderv: my boss would rather me spend a week setting up a server than pay dreamhost or anyone 6$/mo. [13:58] Vaevictus, no idea, sorry [13:59] bondarev1, yeah, my system, prefs, removable media is from mythbuntu hardy heron. it was using this command: /usr/lib/thunar-volman/thunar-volman-settings [14:00] hello, i want to ask if there is plugin support in deluge [14:01] hello need hacking Wlan help [14:01] super, not here [14:02] godoshian, did you look at deluges homepage? They have a section named "Plugins" there [14:02] super, go to snort or other locations. this is ubuntu support, not wlan hacking support [14:02] Vaevictus: altough I haven't used them, I've read some good reviews about Vhcs and ispconfig [14:02] yes but on ubuntu i cannot see my wlan network either [14:02] i see it when i doe iwconfig [14:02] but not if i go into wireless config [14:02] super, can you issue sudo iwlist interface scan [14:03] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=571188 super [14:03] I have several email accounts (all imap) set up in Evolution. How can I have them all consolidated into the "on this computer" inbox and folders? [14:03] Dextorion, i tried utorrent with wine and it tries to install over and over again so i turned to deluge [14:03] papapep: yeah... i was working towards ispconfig 3 ... but it scares me with it's package requirements... ispconfig 2 looks better [14:04] What's the command to see all the material in my computer ? [14:04] Like; graphic cards, sound card, processor.... [14:05] Freidenker1: for the pci ones "lspci", for the USB "lsusb" [14:05] papapep: thanks [14:05] What is the difference between change and modify times of files? [14:05] read man pages for options, they have a few [14:05] diddy, that's the same time [14:06] diddy, there's creation, modification and access times [14:06] bahzang, it would be nice if i could see other wifi networks then my own [14:06] access is often turned off for performance === papapep is now known as papapep-afk [14:06] Freidenker1, not sure what to tell you for one command, but memory can be found at free -m, procesor can be found with cat /proc/cpuinfo [14:06] brb [14:07] Well that's really odd, Ubuntu seems to get it right: "VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0c)"... but in practice Ubuntu is really slow, if I try to do a simple thing like resizing a windows it will be ridiculously slow. [14:07] cwillu, then why does "stat testfile.xtx" provide 2 different times? [14:08] how do i get gtkpod to import my song to a hard disk, and categorize them by artist and album? [14:08] from my ipod 30gb [14:08] Freidenker1: the fact ubuntu detects your software correctly has some, but not total effect on how well the drivers of the hardware perform [14:08] s/software/hardware/ [14:08] When I am trying to start postgresql it is giving error Error: Invalid data directory [14:08] diddy, I'm guessing one of those is actually the creation time [14:08] anirban2: you've got to pass the data directory in the order [14:09] diddy, doesn't help that many apps write changes by replacing the file with a new one [14:09] i installed a bootable Ubuntu 9.04 onto my pendrive.. then when i booted it gave me a boot error [14:09] !intel| Freidenker1, maybe this affects you [14:09] Freidenker1, maybe this affects you: Ubuntu 9.04 has a known regression for some Intel graphics support. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/IntelPerformance and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130582 for more information. [14:09] i had changed the configurations in the boot [14:09] diddy, if I had to guess, I'd say that the changed time is the creation time [14:09] but that's really just a guess [14:09] and enabled boot from usb [14:09] and I could also be wrong on the whole thing :p [14:09] cwillu, I need to know for sure. [14:09] :) [14:09] i used usbcreator [14:10] sleepy_cat: what boot error? [14:10] it just shows boot error [14:10] on the blank screen and then loads the older version 8.04 [14:11] is there a manual way to do so [14:12] Hey, can any one recommend a online radio software? === You're now known as ubuntulog [14:13] yay i got docky working ! [14:13] now to solve a billion other issues [14:13] diddy: the modification time applies to the data in the file. the change time applies to the file status itself. consult the stat manpage: "man 2 stat" for more information. === Vero_ is now known as Vero [14:14] i want to create a call trace for ELF64 binary, what should i use? === dol is now known as shezif [14:15] Hey, I wonder if any one know how to listen radio on ubuntu? could you please give some instructions? [14:16] hi, I have created a custom ubuntu alternate disk image (iso image). but it is quite large to fit in single CD and I don't want to use a DVD.how can I break the iso and burn the image so that it will ask for second CD after first CD is completed? Can I use rar for this? [14:17] xmms + streamtuner + streamripper ;] [14:18] fat_rat: That is to say, if I want to use streamtuner, I have to install xmms first? [14:18] janisozaur: strace, or gdb if you need to get serious :-) [14:19] sipior: i just have to trace the bottlenecks [14:19] hi, miro loose my feeds, I found a corrupted database on ~/.miro anybody know this issue or know how to fix that ? [14:19] sipior: well, maybe not exactly bottlenecks, but codepaths worth optimization [14:19] Is the ubuntu remix really more optimized for the hardware in a netbook than just the ordinary ubuntu ? [14:20] hi to all [14:20] i like xubuntu over the remix.. on my eee 701 the remix ran slower then xubuntu [14:20] jacosis1: http://blog.sartek.net/2008/04/install-xmms-on-ubuntu-804-hardy-heron.html then sudo apt-get install streamtuner streamripper [14:20] or go crunchbang for good speed [14:20] is there anybody out there that has some useful hint for KVM on jaunty ? [14:21] Hey [14:21] i'm unable to use static ip on the guest (hardy) [14:21] i want to run C program i have made [14:21] or if you have an eee 701 ... eeebuntu is still the best [14:21] warden, isn't the speed mainly because of that is uses a light window managers ? [14:21] yes and the eee kernel [14:21] warden: puppy is good too [14:21] warden, I have a 1000he. Right now using ubuntu NBR and having problems with going into suspend mode. [14:21] sorry xubuntu is generic kernel [14:22] only eeebuntu uses the eee custom kernel [14:22] i want to run C program i have made [14:22] janisozaur: you might consider giving Performance Inspector a go; see here: http://perfinsp.sourceforge.net/ [14:22] how can i do that? [14:22] ILMAN5: sudo apt-get instal build-essential [14:22] ILMAN5: and compile it [14:22] i have tried a lot of distros on my eee 701 and i like eeebuntu best [14:22] oh [14:22] i have this [14:23] i dont know how to use [14:23] i like puppy [14:23] ILMAN5: then head over to #C [14:23] but not for eee === fdd is now known as taoup [14:23] warden, but you are having the 701, and its hardware is really well supported by now. wouldn't you say ? [14:23] :| [14:23] warden: or DSL [14:23] ILMAN5, you're asking how to run an executable file? [14:23] aslan yarim kız senin adın uubuuntuu [14:23] warden: or moblin ;] [14:23] warden: both great for the 7 series [14:23] ya 9.04 supports all the hardware on the 701.. but eeebuntu boots a lot faster by like 20 secs [14:23] yes! === yoni is now known as CrAzYoNi [14:24] ILMAN5, I will PM you [14:24] !tr | Evet [14:24] Evet: Turk ubuntu kullanıcıları, Türkçe yardım ya da geyik için #ubuntu-tr hizmetinizde. [14:24] warden, hm really. Then maybe I should give eeebuntu a go.. the thing I'm after is simply that i want "everything" to work. Without hacking away so to speak. === taoup is now known as fdd [14:24] :) [14:25] just trying to do that thing with xmms [14:25] go with eeebuntu base. it is the smallest install and then you can just install whatever else you need for apps [14:25] is anybody faced a problem after update on 9.04 netbook remix [14:25] i like the install is like 1.2 gigs for eeebuntu base [14:25] think* [14:25] for the aptget bit, its not very clear, theres like six lines of stuff i put into console ? [14:26] warden, will I get a window manager? :) [14:26] warden, or if I put it like this: Will everything hardware wise work (I know you cannot answer for me, but if you answer for yourself) with the base? [14:26] ya it uses gnome wm [14:26] Cause it sounds great if I can get all hardware to work, and then install whatever software I like. [14:27] with eeebuntu everything should work on most eee models... but i have only tested on 701 and everything worked [14:27] I did install eeebuntu standard actually, tho I only had it for some hours before installing the ubuntu nbr - simply cause i -thought- I'd like the interface better. [14:27] kk [14:27] I tried installing the nbr-packages to the eeebuntu standard, but that just made me fuck things up :) [14:28] warden: thats pretty bloated, puppy is about 100Mb === fat_rat is now known as fat_rat|away [14:29] is anybody faced a problem after update on 9.04 netbook remix [14:29] the NBR interface looks cool.. but i found i only used three to 4 apps anyway on my eee ... and i remember the NBR gui lagged a lot ... can't remember the details [14:29] hey, are there any other open source word processor other than open office or abiword? i'm not really impressed with the startup time on open office (3 mins on a 2GHz celeron with 256MB RAM) or abiword (initial install didn't even load unicode documents properly), compared to microsoft office [14:29] ActionParsnip: ya i hear ya but I have never liked puppy's installer [14:29] gajop: enable memory preloading in OO [14:29] via family ???? [14:29] the eeebuntu base iso is about 500mb [14:29] frogzoo, how do i do that? [14:29] gajop: I'm guessing you're probably getting into swap with that little ram [14:30] how about remix 9.04 [14:30] 256 might be little, but a machine with 128 (one with Windows and Microsoft Office) still loads it faster [14:30] warden: doest matter, once its installed you never see the installer again [14:31] i do think it goes into swap, well at least with open office, don't think it did with abiword [14:31] warden, I'll take your word for that this is absolutley the best distro for me. So I will install it and hold you 100% responsible if I dislike anything. [14:31] fat_rat:thank you, it's excellent. [14:31] gajop: tools -> options -> memory -> systray quickstart [14:31] ActionParsnip: ya i dig puppy but i am an ubuntu fanboi these days don't really look at puppy much anymore. :) [14:31] which version u suggest for old laptopts? [14:31] xp [14:31] gajop: I would troubleshoot the unicode issue with abiword [14:31] warden: lol [14:31] warden: check xpud if you are impress by boot times [14:32] Evet: xubuntu or even fluxbuntu if its up to date [14:32] ActionParsnip: will do [14:32] warden: boots in bout 5 seconds on my 1.6Ghz + 1Gb DDR2 + PATA HDD [14:32] ActionParsnip: YOU HAVE A NETBOOK? [14:32] thanks moncky [14:32] ActionParsnip: nice [14:32] Cube: used to, sold it [14:32] how to recreate /dev/null [14:32] how do that ? [14:32] frogzoo, will the quick starter get up and running each time i restart the machine? [14:33] warden: not really, the functionality is quite limited, but hey..its boot time that matters right [14:33] gajop: sure, but it will also use up memory all the time [14:33] warden: answer = no === sean is now known as Guest62172 [14:33] frogzoo, that's fine, it's my mother's PC anyway, and all she does is type documents [14:34] anirban2: mknod /dev/null c 1 3 [14:34] warden: theres even a boot image you can plonk in /boot and add a line to meu.lst [14:34] anirban2: normally, udev should care about this [14:34] ActionParsnip: cool [14:34] ok thanks guys [14:36] hi, i have a problem [14:36] my notebook with via family chipset [14:36] any can help me ?

[14:40] trying to figure out why networkmanager found my card in ubuntu but my other linux distro couldnt and they both using gnome [14:40] koltroll: does the stick work faster in other computers? maybe it is that slow (?) [14:40] mazda01, dns [14:41] kaiser101231, doesn't ahve anything to do with gnome, it's weather they can detect your card properly and load the right module [14:41] dgnorton, i would look into your dns server then. it sounds like that's not setup right. [14:42] #ubuntu-de [14:42] sry [14:42] mazda01: oh so guess ill stick with ubuntu for now cause aircard is my only internet [14:42] mazda01, i'll do that. thanks.

I got a wireless problem:( [14:43] kaiser101231, just see which modules you have loaded in ubuntu. lsmod then make sure to load that same module in the other os. [14:43] warden, But when it comes to all these different "brands" (don't know the correct name) of ubuntu.. what if development suddenly stops on, let's say, eeebuntu. Then you are kinda doomed to reinstall your whole operating system.

The fix is: Ubuntu 9.04 Ubuntu 9.04 has the same sound problem as 8.10 and it can be fixed by creating a new file /etc/modprobe.d/options.conf containing the line options snd-hda-intel model=mobile [14:51] can some kind soul walk me through this terminal steps to apply this fix?

[14:55] puff: yeah, but it's OK :) we can do this [14:56] fireman how exactly did you change the language? [14:56] snoopddrm: hold on, I'm trying to figure out the easiest way to do this for you [14:56] puff: yes, i've just installed ubuntu 9.04 on a usbstick. sorry ,i'm a noob at linux [14:56] ;-) [14:56] I'm very much a newbie, could someone help me install Ubuntu on an Asus netbook and get the network working? I don't want to completely wipe the existing Windows XP. [14:56] indus: i chaged it normally but when i rebooted i cant do nothing [14:57] fireman wy cant you do anything [14:57] fireman you just changed language, when you reboot, options will come in arabic [14:58] snoopddrm: almost there... :) [14:58] indus: yes it's true [14:58] NeonSteven: okie thanx man ;-) [14:58] indus: but i cant write on english [14:59] any suggestions on console/terminal based IM client, I used to use NAIM on OS X, is NAIM still the best bet? [14:59] snoopddrm: ok, first, let's try running gedit. Just type gedit [14:59] fireman when it asks for username ,what happens\? [14:59] Hey can I have multiple tor running on multiple ports [15:00] NeonSteven: a new window opens up - unsaved document 1 - gedit [15:00] indus: i try to write but it dosent work cause it write arabic when my username in english [15:00] fireman yeah interesting [15:00] fireman give me 1 sec [15:01] snoopddrm: great, this is like a text adventure :P. Go to Edit > Preferences... [15:01] yaya... [15:01] i'm there [15:01] snoopddrm: select the Editor tab and uncheck "Create a backup copy..." [15:01] NeonSteven: done [15:03] snoopddrm: OK, I changed my mind partway through, but that's OK, we'll keep going. So in this text file, put "options snd-hda-intel model=mobile" (without the quotes) [15:03] indus: what can i do? [15:03] NeonSteven: okie done [15:03] fireman wait iam searching [15:04] snoopddrm: great, now go to File > Save As... and save the file as "sound" [15:05] NeonSteven: okie, the file name is sound. any preference as to the save location? or leave it as default?

[15:06] fireman try [15:06] NeonSteven: This is the output "options snd-hda-intel model=mobile" [15:07] snoopddrm: Great! I wanted to make sure the file was where I expected it to be and had the right contents. Now we're going to move it into the right place. [15:07] Can I install Ubuntu on a Windows Netbook and still have the choice of using Windows? (Newbie here) [15:07] NeonSteven: sorry to interrupt but there is an easier way. snoopddrm has to edit or create that file as root so the command would be gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/options.conf then he would add the line options snd-hda-intel model=mobile and save the file. [15:07] NeonSteven: Okie... ready ;-) [15:08] snoopddrm: great, do this: 'sudo cp sound /etc/modprobe.d/' [15:08] garyalex, , you can dual boot or have a virtual machine [15:08] #roomkav [15:08] i will install a command line system before. after xorg openbox. after xfce4. which DM will be dafault for "startx" command? openbox or xfce4? [15:08] help, pidgin isn't working ! [15:09] snoopddrm: that'll ask you for your regular password [15:09] Thanks thiebaude, I want to dual boot. [15:09] NeonSteven: okie, done. nothing is outputed though [15:09] NeonSteven: yes, i entered it. [15:09] hi all, there appear to be two clipboards on Ubuntu (and all *nixes): (1) the regular select, ctrl-C , ctrl-V , and (2) copy with LMB, then paste with MMB. Anyone know how to assign a hot key to the MMB paste? === xavi is now known as xavirouter [15:09] garyalex, do you have the live cd? [15:09] I am trying to partition it, using the installer, and don't understand the options if I do it manually. What do I do with the existing partitions? [15:09] snoopddrm: that's great! In unixland, silence usually means it worked :). Now do 'ls -l /etc/modprobe.d/sound' [15:10] fireman do this Look in /etc/default/console-setup and saw that XKBLAYOUT was set to "af" [15:10] fireman set it to us [15:10] garyalex, keep your existing ntfs partitions [15:10] I have a live SD card, in the machine as we speak (but I don't have internet access yet so am doing IRC on a MacBook) [15:10] NeonSteven: This is the output "-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 35 2009-07-27 22:08 /etc/modprobe.d/sound" [15:10] garyalex, use the first option, indstall side by side [15:10] install [15:11] snoopddrm: looks great! you should be all set, I believe. You'll have to reboot to try in out. [15:11] NeonSteven: Okie, i'll do a restart now and back in five. Wish me luck guys! :-) [15:11] snoopddrm: if it still isn't working, don't give up! it took me a couple tries to get my sound working. [15:12] NeonSteven: no worries, be back in five ;-) [15:12] To everyone ;-) http://nopaste.com/p/anxL12zp Help NeonSteven snoopddrm etc..... [15:12] thiebaude, the choice it is giving me is put Ubuntu on the entire disk, which will delete Windows, or 'specify partitions manually'. [15:12] garyalex, specify partitions [15:12] garyalex: so manual of course [15:13] garyalex, are you using the ubuntu live cd? [15:13] legend2440: yeah, I don't use gedit myself, and I was afraid it would make all sorts of extra files in bad places, so I tried to find a safe, easy-to-explain way [15:13] thiebaude: I am using a live SD card that I purchased from Ubuntu. [15:13] Hello everyone, i was wondering if anyone has Tried an LFS project with Ubuntu, and if so what version should i attempt this on, i do plan on using a diffrent desktop enviroment though. [15:13] garyalex, never heard of that [15:13] is there package related channel? [15:14] a live SD card? that's pretty schmick [15:14] kkszysiu: For creating packages you mean? [15:14] NeonSteven: gedit seems pretty safe to me [15:14] frogzoo, what is that, live sd card? [15:14] thiebaude: I assume it is the same as the live CD, which I received also, but my netbook doesn't have an optical drive. [15:14] * stardust1985 upgrading to Karmic Koala alpha 3 :) [15:15] thiebaude, SD card Secure Digital [15:15] garyalex, how many install options do you have on that installer? [15:15] pici:help [15:15] Anyway, friends, I am at the stage where I have to manually partion the disk and I don't understand the choices. [15:15] coz_, i heard of sd drive,lol [15:15] set also a background source but nothing happens [15:15] :) [15:15] gary what dont you understand? [15:15] you need an Ex3, and a Swap. [15:15] thiebaude, but not for ubuntu right ?? I sure havent [15:15] Pici [15:15] rek: What? [15:16] NeonSteven: ok. but according to his original statement he was trying to create a file called /etc/modprobe.d/options.conf so shouldnt it be named options.conf instead of sound? [15:16] coz_, yep [15:16] nopaste [15:16] wait [15:16] i link a nopaste [15:16] * fat_rat enjoys hardy lts edition ;] [15:16] http://nopaste.com/p/anxL12zp [15:16] legend2440: it doesn't matter; modprobe reads all the files in that directory regardless of name and uses options from them all [15:16] If I reformat the sda1 partition, which contains the existing Windows, what do I use it as: do not use, swap area, ntfs, FAT32, etc.? [15:16] I was wondering if anyone has Tried an LFS project with Ubuntu, and if so what version should i attempt this on, i do plan on using a diffrent desktop enviroment though. [15:16] seen? [15:16] NeonSteven: ok [15:17] heya, I'm having trouble with a cronjob, it has always run before, I can execute the command in my terminal, but it isent run [15:17] trying to help someone figure out why an external fat32 drive isn't automounting anymore. can someone shed some light? [15:17] Garyalex: if you reformat it windows goes away, are you triyng to go into full ubuntu take over? [15:17] garyalex, ntfs, but if you format that, it will erase it [15:17] mazda chekc if yo can mount it yourself? [15:18] rek: I don't know much about idesk, but from those errors I'd make sure that 1) The target of Background.File exists 2) That idesk wasn't running already when you tried to start it. [15:18] just because it didn't show the icon on the desktop doesn't mean it's not mounted, check "places" [15:18] error: Idesk is running in :0.0 [15:18] what does this mean???? [15:18] I see, then how can I have a choice between booting windows and ubuntu? [15:18] pici: it can reload .... [15:18] Gary, you wont be able too if you reformat.. [15:18] garyalex, how many opitons does it give you? [15:18] frogzoo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick this works for SD cards as well, you only select the right "disc" in bios [15:18] Raul in which vm? [15:18] then i set also a backround file but nothing hapens [15:19] rek: Then I don't know, I've never used that software before. [15:19] Doglino, are you reffering to my LFS question? i'm going to do it on my Real hdd [15:19] help [15:19] or i might use VMware. [15:19] garyalex, i would use unetbootin, if the sd doesn't work [15:19] Raul said "just because it didn't show the icon on the desktop doesn't mean it's not mounted, check "places"" [15:20] so what does a "vm" have to do with anything? [15:20] Raul, he can mount himself. manually that is. he's in the plugdev and admin group, he does have hald and dbus running so I am not sure why it's not automounting and putting an icon on the desktop? [15:20] NeonSteven: hihi, am back ;-) I guess i don't need to test the sound, when ubuntu started up again, i heard the music ;-) [15:20] The playback of this movie requires a application/zip decoder plugin which is not installed. [15:21] theibaude: OK, I did download unetbootin yesterday, from within Windows. Is that a Windows programme? [15:21] I didn't know what to do with it. [15:21] Any idea how to solve this? Doesn't work in mplayer nor vlc [15:21] 'zip decoder' [15:21] ive never heard of that type of format for a video [15:21] garyalex, it lets's you install a distro without a cd drive [15:21] coz_: remember you solved my problem on button sounds in openbox few days ago by uninstalling canberra-gtk-module? Turned out that gives a lot of errors when starting gtk apps, so better is adding it to blacklist. Still thx for pointing in right direction. [15:21] are you sure you extracted it? [15:21] you have libdvdcss2 installed extor? [15:21] nextac [15:22] not sure lemme install it === fusion44 is now known as fusion44_away [15:22] Thiebaude: I'll have a play with that and get back here a little later.

[15:22] no sry rek [15:22] no idea what that is [15:22] garyalex, i've used it many times [15:22] ^^ [15:22] VCoolio, ok yeah that should work also :) [15:22] Package libdvdcss is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source Package libdvdcss has no installation candidate [15:23] 1medibuntu | extor [15:23] !medibuntu | extor [15:23] extor: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [15:23] how do i get more display options [15:24] rek: i just read what it is, perhaps use a "normal" window manager? ;) [15:24] Raul, he can mount himself. manually that is. he's in the plugdev and admin group, he does have hald and dbus running so I am not sure why it's not automounting and putting an icon on the desktop? [15:24] Does anyone know how to get a tenda twl541p wifi pci card to work in ubuntu [15:24] i am using a 42 inch hdtv monitor and only ger 800x600:( [15:24] snoopddrm: awesome! [15:24] nex tac?

[15:24] NeonSteven: Thanx so much, got it fixed now ;-) [15:24] i remember ubuntu would never put it on the desktop but it would always be in "places [15:24] sounds like huge pixels kaiser10123 [15:25] sabayon and windows xp got alot better resolutions [15:25] i read idesk is only for fluxbox and the like [15:25] am i mistaken? [15:25] fluxbox's cool [15:25] i must have an icon [15:25] !wireless [15:25] Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [15:25] rek, yea it is, i use openbox [15:25] rek: Maybe #fluxbox would be a better place to ask [15:25] so i go to facebook in opera in ubuntu and it loads google, happens on other sites too, they just load google [15:25] openbox?

[16:21] i know its very old but fglrx was working on older ubuntu [16:22] Vaevictus: in what way is it a pile of junk? do you just not like the interface? [16:22] (sipior) The ISP should'nt matter the question is,was were and presently still stands "how many hosts are there suppose to be comming from any ISP?....The reason to know is because I dont know and thought that since this is a channel for information relating to computers as well as ubuntu I should be able to get a sensible answer [16:22] looked in ~/Desktop ~/.local/share can't find Trash [16:22] rtlinux? [16:22] tdn: add a stanza to /etc/network/interfaces describing the connection. the syntax for that file can be found via "man interfaces".

[16:23] I'm trying to do an install, and I'm getting a failure on libxapian [16:23] dewdude, exactly [16:23] King_tiger_claw, this is not the place to ask [16:23] ANY CHANNEL FOR RTLINUX [16:23] !caps | King_tiger_claw [16:23] King_tiger_claw: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT!

[16:23] Then show me the path please. [16:24] Vaevictus: I don't know about it complaining. but perhaps try sysv-rc-conf or sysv-rc or rcconf [16:24] stew: all i want is to disable dovecot from all runlevels, and none of those tools work for it. i could rename or edit the links manually, but it seems strange that no tool can manage that. [16:24] does anyone know which programm i can install instead of ADOBE FLASH PLAYER? [16:24] jacquesdupontd, it's got to do with ATI put a bunch of cards in legacy status [16:24] yitehay: i've yet to figure out what your question is. [16:24] stew: rcconf isn't picking up all the entries. [16:24] King_tiger_claw: maybe noone knows of a rtlinux channel [16:24] King_tiger_claw: ask in [16:24] the cards in legacy status have to use the older binary package, which is incompatible with the version of X used in Jaunty [16:24] lilcoconut: You could try Gnash (but others say it sucks). [16:24] hi, will 9.10 server be LTS? where can i check that? [16:24] King_tiger_claw: #freenode or do a /list and search for yourself [16:24] oskar-, im actually on open source drivers that are very cool except for games and im sur ei could win more fps on glxgears if i was running with the propriety drivers [16:24] lilcoconut: evince is ubuntus default pdf viewer [16:24] if you want to use propritary drivers, you'll need to use an older version [16:24] yitehay: but let's just say the answer is "42". there are always 42 hosts coming from every ISP in the entire world. [16:24] sterna: no [16:24] I am from my mobile phone. [16:24] jacquesdupontd, probably not. the opensource drivers seem to be pretty good [16:24] oskar-, in fact for all that is in 3d [16:24] sterna: next LTS will be 10.04 [16:24] !flash | lilcoconut [16:24] lilcoconut: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [16:24] oskar-, but compiz-fusion is working perfectly [16:24] So cant search it from google now. [16:24] I find it hard to believe that someone smart enough to get into IRC, and EVIDENTLY knowledgable to know about rtlinux, has to be in here, ASKING if any of us knows of an rtlinux channel. I find that confusing. [16:25] oskar-, suprisingly btw === ToXBoT_ is now known as ToXBoT [16:25] jacquesdupontd, you do know glxgears isn't a benchmark right? [16:25] I am from my mobile phone. [16:25] sipior: I knew it was 42! had to be [16:25] sebsebseb: i need a newer kernel because areca drivers are broken with 2.6.24 [16:25] King_tiger_claw, we don't care. obviously you don't know how to IRC properly [16:25] ShortWave: Phones generally don't support multitasking. It's either the IRC client, or the browser, or ... [16:25] dewdude, for sure that i what i just told, it makes 5 years im on linux [16:25] moving on [16:25] sterna: which version of Ubuntu are you on? [16:25] ShortWave: welcome to #ubuntu , where everything is possible ... [16:25] well if you've yet to figure my question out then dont reply to my question asking what my my question is...better yet if I ask another question just dont answer it ok...THANKS [16:25] sebsebseb: what's the standard way to do that? i'm on 8.04 LTS [16:26] dewdude: How the hell do you google without closing the IRC client? [16:26] In that time you could tell me where I should go. [16:26] jacquesdupontd: glxgears is not a benchmark... ;) [16:26] sterna: I see, well I think there's a ppa for a later kernel for 8.04 LTS as well [16:26] dewdude, im at 447 fps with a pretty good xorg.conf on glxgears [16:26] uhm....use a better phone or don't IRC mobilly? [16:26] sebsebseb: ah, ppa, thanks, that's all i need [16:26] stew: sysv-rc-conf looks perfect. thanks for the suggestion [16:26] grawity: high end mobile phones do have multitasking ;-) [16:26] ok thx for your help guys :) i will probably need some more sooner or later.. but at first im done :) [16:26] If you do not know tell me. [16:26] crap [16:26] sterna: ok np [16:26] my Sidekick multitasked [16:26] Myrtti: Like my Sony-Ericsson, yeah. [16:26] oskar-, its not but it can tell you the 3d fps of your card and you can adapt drivers or xorg.conf to have more [16:26] King_tiger_claw: Do you really want to hear AN ENTIRE CHANNEL say "I don't know"? [16:26] grawity: nokia was what I had in mind [16:26] Hrm [16:27] If you know which channel I should go tell me please. [16:27] King_tiger_claw: no, we don't know. [16:27] Myrtti: Do Nokia phones have a SMB server builtin? :) [16:27] King_tiger_claw: Try /msg alis list *rtlinux* [16:27] grawity: ickle http one they do [16:27] grawity: anyway, ot [16:27] So I'm getting a failure on installing latest ubuntu, where libxapian is dying [16:27] Vaevictus: note that just removing the symlinks isn't recommended, since they will reappear upon upgrade, its best to rename S?? to K?? as documented in the update-rc.d manpage. I'm not sure which sysv-rc-conf does [16:27] stew: maybe not perfect, (it didn't provide for reordering or changing priorities, and didn't invert the number when changing from S to K ... (S24 to K76 for example), but not really. [16:28] still unable to locate trash .trash .Trash or Trash for this user. [16:28] capneb: Does "this user" even have a trash?

[16:28] capneb: find ~ -iname '*trash' -type d [16:28] King_tiger_claw: It might help you if you understood more about IRC in general, like perhaps...where to look to find this information. [16:28] stew: sysv-rc-conf renamed S24dovecot to K24dovecot... which is good enough. probably should have been K76 though [16:29] well i suppose not. will look at other users. we have 8.0.4. well ok thanks. [16:29] No one know about rtlinux channel in this room!! O.o [16:29] capneb: Did you fix the permission problem too? [16:29] King_tiger_claw: Ask in #freenode, we cannot help you here.

[18:22] UnderSampled: check /var/log/messages or /var/log/syslog [18:22] iceroot: iFconfig [18:22] grawity: yeah.. [18:23] pianistbaby: You probably need the one next to "eth0" [18:23] grawity: ipconfig doesn't work for me ("command not fonud") but ifconfig does. [18:23] is it the "HWaddr"? [18:23] pianistbaby: ifconfig [18:23] pianistbaby: ipconfig is the windows command doing the same [18:23] pianistbaby: ipconfig was iceroot's suggestion; and yes, it's the "HWaddr". [18:24] RaWolf ok i am not on that laptop i am on my dell but it says SystemError :l wasn't able to locate file for the alamin-server package. This might mean you need to manually fix this package [18:24] pianistbaby: Btw, why do you need that address? [18:24] grawity: iceroot ascheel thank [18:24] freenode #supremos :) [18:24] grawity: because i'm checking our household's bandwidth usage. And someone naughty used up more than our monthyl allowance and we have a big bill to pay!!! [18:24] and the bandwidth report is done by "MAC address" [18:25] faaaaa [18:25] the HWaddr in my ifconfig doesn't match either of the 2 "Modem address"es given in the bandwidth usage report when i log onto my isp's account. [18:25] cuanta gente === michelangelo is now known as Guest44377 [18:26] pianistbaby: wifi? then its not eth0 [18:26] iceroot: can't be wifi, because i'm on wired. [18:27] pianistbaby: to there is a router and some clients and the router shows the used traffic with mac-adress? [18:27] iceroot: come again? [18:27] pianistbaby: if you're using a router, your ISP only sees the router. It doesn't see the individual PCs behind it [18:27] grawity, do you understand these log statements (http://dpaste.com/72028/)?...i am trying to connect to vpn.itshidden.com [18:28] pianistbaby: Won't the hwaddr be related to your modem, not the hwaddr in ifconfig [18:28] iceroot: ascheel: i see. yes we are using a router. [18:28] huffman: perhaps. how can i find the hwaddr of our modem then? [18:28] How can I make home folders restricted for anyone but the owner of the home directory? [18:28] pianistbaby: then the MAC address will be of no use to you. Anybody use BitTorrent in your house? [18:28] ISP bandwidth page _DOES_ say "Modem address". so perhaps we are indeed looking for MODEM address [18:29] ascheel: yes, but now I've blocked it. [18:29] Sj4lut: chmod 700 /home/ [18:29] pianistbaby: blocked what? [18:29] ascheel: ofcaurse [18:29] ascheel: blocked P2P/filesharing sites via opendns.com [18:29] pianistbaby: Modem address is just the MAC address of the cable/DSL modem [18:29] pianistbaby: if the isp is showing the traffic, it will say all traffic goes from one mac-adress (your modem) so you cant see which client is using how much traffic [18:30] Sj4lut: can this be someehow automatically bade while in system, user accounts? [18:30] pianistbaby: you can block the sites, but that doesn't block the trackers or connections to individual users. How many PCs are you looking at? [18:30] ascheel: iceroot. i see. how can i see the mac address of our cable modem [18:30] ascheel: 2. mine and the "family" one [18:30] pianistbaby: oou can probably just check the bottom of your modem [18:30] hey guys i have a serious problem [18:30] my ubuntu wont load my DVD [18:30] ascheel: but if we block the site, how will the naughty person in our house make filesharing work? [18:30] my DVD/CD-ROM is fine [18:31] any ideas? [18:31] pooljo, have you installed ubuntu-restricted-extras? [18:31] tyson_ im trying to reinstall windows xp so i can dual boot [18:31] yes restricted are installed [18:31] pianistbaby: here's the deal. One of those 2 PCs is using a ton of bandwidth. The MAC address (or modem address) won't help you because all of the PCs show up as a single PC to your ISP. [18:31] but it loads ubuntu instead of the DVD on startup [18:32] my bios setttings maybe? [18:32] pianistbaby: You need to actually monitor what's going on in your house and who's using what programs. [18:32] pooljo, yea, check your BIOS boot order [18:32] tyson_ how? === Dream is now known as Dream-Stalker [18:32] pianistbaby: This is an issue of monitoring the family PC to find out what they're doing and who's hogging your bandwidth. [18:33] does anyone know of an LUA editor? [18:33] pianistbaby: is the family PC an Ubuntu PC? [18:33] Dream-Stalker: vi [18:33] vi? [18:33] pooljo: during boot, there should be a message about what key to press to enter your BIOS [18:33] Dream-Stalker: I was being facetious, but here: [18:33] Dream-Stalker: many if not all text editors in linux should have lua syntax highlight [18:33] !ati [18:33] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [18:33] !vi | Dream-Stalker [18:33] Dream-Stalker: Text Editors: gedit (GNOME), Kate (KDE), mousepad (Xfce4) - Terminal-based: nano, vi/vim, emacs - For HTML/CSS editors, see !html - For programming editors and IDE, see !code [18:33] :/ [18:33] tyson_ do you know what the default key is? [18:33] Dream-Stalker: you can even turn on syntax hilighting [18:34] F10 or F12? [18:34] lol [18:34] Dream-Stalker: nvm, erUSUL beat me to saying that. [18:34] pooljo: look if there is something like "press f8 to change boot order" [18:34] ok [18:34] brb [18:34] pooljo, it's usually like F1 or F3, just enter you computer model in goggle and boot to bios. [18:34] pooljo: F2 and Delete are also popular options [18:34] pooljo: you dont have to access the bios for that [18:34] i just want it to check if ive made errors, ah well :P [18:35] i made the hello world :) im happy === jesse is now known as Guest88800 [18:35] pianistbaby: if the family's PC is an Ubuntu machine, we can probably provide solutions to let you monitor all traffic.

It slightly fails when I try to connect, but these statements are logged: http://dpaste.com/72028/ === Guest33437 is now known as martinken [18:36] I've recently installed a deb however the bin fails to find a newly installed lib in /usr/lib (specifically liblightscribe.so.1). ldconfig -p | grep light does not show the lib, which leads me to think the lib needs to be loaded. I've tried sudo ldconfig -n /usr/lib to reload the libs but still no reference to my newly installed lib. What am I missing? [18:36] silently* [18:37] If I wanna directory to wrx.. by all users not just root, how can I do this? [18:37] tyson_: It seems to be a problem with the NetworkManager program, not the VPN server... [18:37] Sj4lut: chmod a+rwx directory/ [18:37] ascheel: the other (a.k.a "living room" /"family") PC uses WinXP. [18:37] grawity: should I log a bug report? [18:38] ok i checked my bios settings and they were correct [18:38] but the DVD still did not load [18:38] instead it said "grub" and switched to my ubuntu [18:38] what is wrong with my system? [18:38] pianistbaby: then I'd say you're out of luck finding help in here. You have to monitor what's being done on that PC. That's all there is to it. I suspect someone deserves a butt whoopin', though [18:38] pooljo: how did you burn the iso? [18:38] We're looking at paying an extra $185 for this monht because of "overuse charge". OUCH OUCH OUCH!!! [18:38] grawity: thanx, what is a and + ? [18:39] overuse charge? :f [18:39] pianistbaby: I feel your pain, but #ubuntu won't help with the overuse charges, either. ;P [18:39] i used gnomebaker [18:39] ascheel: yes. i better leave this chatroom before some whoops my butt for going offtopic [18:39] sp: some --> someone [18:40] !ot | pianistbaby [18:40] pianistbaby: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[20:20] oshua86: : I personally always install the fusion icon, then use that to enable them [20:20] Jordanmota: ok this is easy to fix [20:20] Are there any errors associated with lspci or the kernel not detecting installed pci hardware? [20:20] is there somthing like SAM Broadcast (windows) for linux? [20:20] Jordanmota: however you removed Ubuntu hmm, are you going to put it back on? Why did you remove it? [20:20] legend2440: Yeah, I wasn't sure if that actually ran updatedb or not--I want to be sure to avoid altering the existing database. === Odin is now known as th0r [20:21] sebsebseb: Yes, hopefully - the install went wrong though. Well... it did or I did! [20:21] I was trying to get permissions in root and changed my home directory in the user group too root [20:21] apt-get install compiz-fusion [20:21] legend2440: But I think I can just locate '*' > files.txt [20:21] UnderSampled, i got it install but its not showing up, how do i start it? [20:21] poseidon_: why do you think lspci gives wrong information? [20:21] hello [20:21] Jordanmota: there's a tiny bit of Grub left behind, in your Master Boot Record, the MBR the first section of your hard disk [20:21] open a grub shell and run root (hdx,x); setup (hdx) [20:21] oshua86: its in the applications menu, under system tools [20:21] Jordanmota: where the boot loader goes by default :) and where it should go really [20:22] I split my single Vista partition into 2 partitions. But ubuntu installed itself into a tiny self-created partition (2 gb) and thus uselee [20:22] aresnick: how were these files removed? because synaptic keeeps a history of packages removed in Files>History [20:22] can/does a vanilla ubuntu installation share data via p2p (updates, distro files, etc?) I have someone saying that it does, but I was not aware of any such thing. [20:22] Jordanmota: I see [20:22] papapep The hardware is disparate from what's detected in a windows installation (since removed) as well as this location: http://www.linuxquestions.org/hcl/showproduct.php/product/4075/cat/all [20:22] gee: put a live cd, reboot and undo the changes in the hd filesystem [20:22] sebsebseb: So what should I do? Thanks btw [20:22] Jordanmota: you just need a boot loader to go over what's left of Grub, that can also be Grub when you re install Ubuntu [20:22] how can I fix my numberic keyboard when the idicator light is lit? the numbers wont show when i type in? [20:22] I really love linux and Ubuntu !!! [20:22] kingfishr: there are a experimental version of apt that uses bittorrent... but it is not oficial nor supported [20:22] ok thanks [20:23] UnderSampled, ok got it, then what do I do? [20:23] Jordanmota: how did you resize Vista? [20:23] it seemed acting as a mouse [20:23] sebsebseb: So I could just go ahead and install Ubuntu again, and it will sort it out in the process? [20:23] kingfishr: not that I know of [20:23] which version of flash player should i download if I'm using 64-bit 9.04 (jaunty)? [20:23] assuming that you still have the grub files, and that at some pooint, you slipped a windows setup disk in the cd drive . . . [20:23] Jordanmota: yes exactly [20:23] sebsebseb: i used the partition tool from the livecd [20:23] UnderSampled, select windows decorator? [20:23] then emerald? [20:23] I'm looking for the ubuntu package that will give me phpize.. How can I find this with apt-get? [20:23] poseidon_: can you paste the lspci output to pastebin to let us see it? [20:23] Jordanmota: and at the moment Vista can't boot of course, because that remaining peice of Grub is still there, and there is no file for it anymore, that tells it what partitions to boot and where they are located [20:24] papapep Specifically devices 02:06.3,02:06.4, and 00:1e.3 [20:24] certainly [20:24] sebsebseb: I shrunk the partition, created a new one. I didn't format the new partition, just created it. Then installed Ubuntu and it did the rest [20:24] papapep how do I do that in IRC? [20:24] hello all. Is there a way to block kernel updates from happening? [20:24] erUSUL, Myrtti, you guys know anything about apt-p2p? [20:24] Jordanmota: for XP that's fine, for VIsta using gparted to resize it can cause dataloss, as a result it's better to use Vista's own partition resizer [20:24] which version of flash player should i download if I'm using 64-bit 9.04 (jaunty)? [20:24] sebsebseb: I think I understand you (lol) [20:24] just paste the resultant url here after submitting the output i pastebin.com, for example [20:24] s/i/in [20:24] Jordanmota: however that one tends not to be that great, and then the Vista partitions are still rather massive normalely [20:24] sebsebseb: ah... whoops! did not know that.. [20:25] kingfishr: have tried it [20:25] like the update manager ... how do I tell it to skip kernel updates? === jon is now known as Guest50489 [20:25] Myrtti, but this isn't turned on by default in any existing ubuntu versions, right? [20:25] please i need help from someone expert here i ran deporphan and it gave me list of packages that needed to be removed and here is the list http://pastebin.com/m5220cdd6 is it safe to remove those . I use jaunty [20:26] kingfishr: no [20:26] Jordanmota: dual booting hmm, if you have enough RAM, and depending on what you want to do, maybe you can just get by with virtual maching Vista or another version of Windows, inside Ubuntu [20:26] Myrtti, ok thanks [20:26] w0ls0n: in synaptic, highlight the kernel and then choose Package - Lock version [20:26] Jordanmota, i just realised that no one here asked what grub error message you are getting . . . [20:26] sebsebseb: Hi, where you been? [20:26] papapep Did you get it? [20:27] sebsebseb: That would be perfect I think. I am tempted.. - I don't use particulary heavy programs (no gaming) and would be perfectly happy running XP in virtual mode. I have only 1GB ram though - would I get away with it? [20:27] the keypad isnt putting out numbers [20:27] poseidon_: uh? did you paste the url in the channel? [20:27] wizzo50: chat in pm if you like, not in here === fanTa is now known as sam\ [20:27] Oh [20:27] 1 gig would barely get you a vm that could run XP very well [20:27] papapep I was trying to send it to you over irc. pastebin is a website? [20:27] I dont see that th0r [20:27] overclucker: Good question! I... don't remember :( [20:27] Jordanmota: for XP no problem, for Vista maybe not [20:27] papapep Google, here I come [20:27] overclucker: I should had written it down.. [20:27] poseidon_: yes :) [20:28] lol [20:28] !flash [20:28] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [20:28] dewdude: wrong, I have virtual machined loads of stuff with 1GB :) [20:28] yeah, but XP generally needs about 512 to work comfortably [20:28] !offtopic [20:28] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [20:28] sure, you can use a LOT less, but the service packs bloated the OS [20:28] hi [20:28] dewdude: no I have done XP in a vm with 1GB psycial RAM, no problem as well [20:28] phoenixz: http://en.kioskea.net/faq/sujet-637-phpize-command-not-found [20:28] Cool, good to know. I might go that way... we'll see [20:28] Having some issues again I'm trying to help out a friend and he has a compaq presario SR 1923WM desktop. Does he need the 1386 or amd64 for the libdvdcss2 [20:29] papapep http://pastebin.com/m53653e15 [20:29] w0ls0n: are you in synaptic? [20:29] legend2440: thanks, let me see... [20:29] poseidon_: well done ;) [20:29] Jordanmota: ok that sounds good then, re install Ubuntu, get rid of Vista, and virtual machine XP if Wine won't cut it for something, or you can't find an alternative [20:29] dewdude, same here, i run xp pro in virtualbox, with the office suite no problem [20:29] sebsebseb, but what isntall of XP did you use? I've tried doing XP SP3 in 256MB of ram and things just didn't fit [20:30] What is the better one - Wine or VirtualBox ? [20:30] the only reason any of it works is swap...which seriously degrades performance [20:30] dewdude, sebsebseb: Could you please move this discussion to ##windows, as #ubuntu is for Ubuntu support. [20:30] dewdude, who needs service packs for a vm'd os? [20:30] Pici: i'll move it to pm [20:30] sebsebseb: Thanks [20:30] papapep: I also know that the SD card was working prior to my installation. [20:30] dewdude, oh no! someone just rooted my VM! [20:30] how do i make my apache server public ? [20:31] deco: start it [20:31] i'm just saying is all. [20:31] iceroot: it's just localhost [20:31] poseidon_: which is the computer part number that states in the sticker at the bottom [20:31] deco: using a router? [20:31] Pici: also maybe the better channal would have been #vbox by the way [20:31] iceroot: yeah [20:31] deco, bind it to 0.0.0.0, setup portforwarding on any router you are using [20:31] deco: forward the port to your apache [20:31] iceroot: how? [20:31] Jordanmota: depends on the app. for something like utorrent wine is perfectly fine and a better option. for though i prefer virtualization. google seamless desktop for some solutions for like IE etc [20:32] deco: look at the manual from your router [20:32] ok the update manager is installed th0r [20:32] er running [20:32] http://yourdefaultgateway [20:32] papapep: agency series HSTNN-C02C [20:32] iceroot: k thank! [20:32] pepperjack: Thanks. [20:32] overclucker: oh thanks [20:32] Ok. My buddys computer is a compaq presario SR 1923WM and the specs says the process is AMD Athlon 64. I had him download the AMD package for libdvdcss2 and it told him the file was the wrong arctecture [20:32] w0ls0n: no, open synaptic [20:32] question: when my ps/2 KB unplugged and replug in what happens to it? would it stop working? [20:32] Jordanmota: ideally you want to use native Linux apps :) ,but sometimes there isn't something for what you want, then you can of course try Wine, but apps don't always work in that, and configuring can be difficult, that's where a Windows virtual machine comes in, however at this time they won't quite cut it for 3D Wnindows games for example, altough they are getting there [20:32] same goes for usb mouse? [20:33] sebsebseb: How you setup webchat on here? [20:33] wizzo50: what kind of web chat? [20:33] sephy, i don't think they'll give you libdvdcss support here since that package is very legally-questionable [20:33] sebsebseb: I mean weechat [20:33] wizzo50: Are you trying to create a channel on freenode? [20:33] I already had support on it earlier [20:33] !dvd | sephy [20:33] sephy: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [20:33] Where might Gnome stgore which window manager a user is using? [20:33] wizzo50: I don't use that program [20:33] porter1: gconf most likely [20:33] can I get help in here with getting an ethernet card working for ubuntu server or should i use the forums? [20:33] dewdude, nah, i believe libdvdcss2 is in ubuntu-restricted-extras [20:34] jrib have any idea about where? [20:34] !ask | syr64 [20:34] syr64: 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. :-) [20:34] I can't seem to find it [20:34] He installed that as well [20:34] syr64: yes, just ask the channel with some details [20:34] porter1: no, but you can search for something like "manager" [20:34] sebsebseb: I just seen someone else asking about it so I looked it up to check it out and couldn't get it setup [20:34] sebsebseb: I think I might get away with it then - I don't game, I mostly work in a browser. I just use the occasional MS applet. Nothing heavy. [20:34] jrib, finally found it. Thanks [20:34] is there somthing like SAM Broadcast (windows) for linux? for broadcasting to a shoutcast server [20:35] nJustin3k, videolan-server is quite nice [20:35] UnderSampled: I just seen someone else asking about it so I looked it up to check it out and couldn't get it setup [20:35] * apoleo12 taps on his mic... hello hello? [20:35] facebook is resolving to google again in opera :( [20:35] Jordanmota: uh I pm'd wrong guy hmm [20:36] anyone have any experience with the Native VPN client in Ubuntu? I have a Cisco ASA I would like to connect to using Ubuntu 64 bit - Cisco's vpn client only works in 32 bit [20:36] nJustin3k: perhaps icecast [20:36] outy, what dns are you using? [20:36] UnderSampled: How you create a channel on freenode for weechat? [20:37] Hi, so in CentOS in .ssh/known_hosts file, the line starts with either the ip of the hostname of the host that my box has connected to [20:37] cmelo, if you need to talk to cisco vpn, try using vpnc [20:37] hi guys [20:37] apoleo12: hir shift+num lock [20:37] Is there a Ubuntu build that will support a Realtek 8139 ethernet card during install? Looking for a 64bit server version [20:37] but in Ubuntu, the line starts with something not human readable [20:37] cmelo, vpnc has also an integration in NetworkManager [20:37] wizzo50: to create a channel on freenode, you just /join it [20:37] apoleo12: hit shift+num lock [20:37] any idea on how can I translate this to either hostname or ip? === Odin is now known as th0r [20:37] ok- thanks [20:37] OMG [20:37] syr64, i believe realtek 8139 has a kernel driver, it should work out of box [20:37] thanks! [20:37] kwame: that's an ssh setting. Why do you want this? === geo is now known as geo05 [20:38] wizzo50: registering it is a little more complicated, but all that does is make sure that you don't lose your op status on a channel, so that it can't get stolen [20:38] hi all [20:38] anyone know if there is a issue with intel lan on a MSI motherboard, cant get it to work, wireless and another nic card work with no problem [20:38] oskar-, overclucker, sorry... I have a shoutcast server running on my dedicated server. I used to conntect to it using SAM Broadcast (when I used windows) and controled the stream using that, im looking for somthing similar for linux [20:38] jrib: I didn't know it was an ssh setting [20:38] Does the cable have to be plugged in for it to work on boot? Not getting an eth0 in interfaces after install of 9.04 or 8.10 [20:38] kwame: HashKnownHosts [20:38] So I'll ask this again, is there a way to get SMB mounts to show up in the "places" sidebar of a standard file open dialog? [20:39] hello everyone. i've just installed ubuntu 9.04 on a usb stick and have resolved a couple of issues. however, my firefox browser refuses to start. can any one help? Everytime i click it, it a window pops up saying "starting" but the browser itself doesn't load... [20:39] cmelo, install vpnc and network-manager-vpnc [20:39] jrib: ah! ... thanks! [20:39] nJustin3k, there's nothing similar to the SAM package...but there are solutions for pushing data to a shoutcast server...however most linux solutions are centered around icecast since it's open source [20:39] is it a memory issue? [20:39] ShortWave, I have some in my bookmarks [20:39] how would i resolve this? [20:39] snoopddrm: launch it from terminal hopefully that will throw some errors you can work with [20:39] UnderSampled: Oh [20:40] snoopddrm: firefox 3.0 or 3.5? [20:40] OEP: Don't want a bookmark. I want the actual currently-mounted SMB shares to show up [20:40] syr64, it SHOULDN'T. My laptop has a 8139 and it worked out of box [20:40] poseidon_: I think that it's just that there are really different versions of the same model you have. If you take a look here, you'll see it's almost exactly your hardware combination: http://reviews.cnet.com/laptops/hp-compaq-nc4200/4507-3121_7-31343460.html [20:40] ShortWave, I have one of those too... [20:40] i do get an eth0 option in ifconfig without cable plugged up [20:40] pepperjack: ok,... sorry, but what are the command to launch firefox in a terminal window. am a noob ;-p [20:40] if, for instance, I go Places -> Home [20:40] I didn't do anything special to get it there it just showed up [20:40] jrib: thanks [20:40] I can see them listed in the places sidebar [20:40] nJustin3k: idjc [20:40] legend2440: i'm not quite sure, its the default one that comes with ubuntu 9.04 [20:40] dewdude, what is there for icecast then? [20:40] Im using some external repos, I'm trying to install php5-dev, but I get php5-dev: Conflicts: libtool (>= 2.2) but 2.2.6a-1ubuntu1 is to be installed ... how should I interpret this error? libtool 2.2.6 is installed, but it says 2.2.6a should be installed or what? [20:40] poseidon_: I don't really think lspci is cheating you :) [20:40] snoopddrm, firefox [enter] [20:40] but if I go to say, Firefox, and do file->open, in that dialog, while I have some places listed, currently mounted shares do NOT appear [20:40] ShortWave, it is mounted through gvfs though so that might be the difference [20:41] ah I see [20:41] laclasse: LOL!!! okie am doing it [20:41] snoopddrm: in terminal type firefox [20:41] phoenixz: are you mixing unofficial repositories or installing packages outside the official repositories? [20:41] OEP: perhaps [20:41] snoopddrm: basically you open a terminal and then run firefox. so maybe if this is mounted to /media/usb it would be like /media/usb/firefox/firefox in terminal [20:41] Shortwave: check the /media folder [20:41] Anyone else having DNS-related problems and no Internet connection? [20:41] papapep So you're saying that my SD card isn't installed? [20:41] is there a way to make my applications/places/system menu bar allign to the left/right/etc ? [20:41] dewdude: You're suggesting instead of having them show as "places" that I should visit their mountpoints? [20:41] snoopddrm: oh if you have booted from the usb stick yeah just type 'firefox' [20:41] SFW: we're on the internet now... [20:41] EEEEKS! It says illegal instruction [20:41] well, yeah. all places does is point to mountpoints [20:41] nope, I didn't say anything about that :) perhaps it just died? [20:42] outy: you can middle-click drag it [20:42] ShortWave, not sure if there's a way to automagically do it, but you can click add on any open directory and it will stick there [20:42] my NFS shares I manually mount show up under places....but not every app will show places properly [20:42] jrib: I'm using a dotdeb and a launchpad repo [20:42] welp, what if their mountpoints are virtual, as they appear to be, and not actually mounted into the filesystem? [20:42] phoenixz: that's probably why... [20:42] what do you mean "virtual" [20:42] ShortWave, that is, any selected directory === r4ban is now known as giskard [20:42] jrib: I know, but that was not the question.. How should I interpret the error? If I know what its trying to tell me, I can try to fix the problem [20:43] dewdude: 2hat do you mean by "manually" ? [20:43] doesnt seem to be working :( [20:43] Meaning they're not mounted through the normal mechanism of "mount -t smbfs", but rather appear to be mounted with gvfsd-smb [20:43] ShortWave: go to a terminal and type mount...that will display all mount point locations and what's mounted there.... [20:43] phoenixz: you should interpret the error as saying "stick to the repos" [20:43] <_rob_> hello. [20:43] dewdude: Consider me an old hand at linux :) [20:43] papapep Thanks for the help. :) [20:43] jrib: if you have nothing usefull to say, then please keep quiet [20:43] ShortWave, it's not a virtual mountpoint..it's more like an auto-mount daemon [20:44] im having a bit of a problem just finding synaptec [20:44] th0r? [20:44] the mounts are in /media...and they should actually exist [20:44] w0ls0n: yeah...keep getting dropped by the wifi here [20:44] poseidon_: you're welcome [20:44] dewdude: Nope. They're located in /home/me/.gvfs/ on [20:44] Im using some external repos, I'm trying to install php5-dev, but I get this error: php5-dev: Conflicts: libtool (>= 2.2) but 2.2.6a-1ubuntu1 is to be installed ... how should I interpret this error? libtool 2.2.6 is installed, but it says 2.2.6a should be installed or what? [20:44] i just entered "sudo firefox" in a terminal window, i was prompted for my password and then it again gave me "illegal instruction" [20:44] ...really? [20:44] dewdude: yup [20:44] <_rob_> i have a query about abiword, i know i've got the help files but when i click help it wants to go online [20:44] phoenixz: I'm trying to help you. I'm not sure what you want exactly. The error is clear. The version required by a package is not getting installed. The reason is you have mixed repositories in an unsafe way. The solution is to remove the unofficial repositories. If you want more specific help then pastebin the details [20:44] phoenixz: why not install php5-dev from synaptic? [20:44] snoopddrm: ok but never run firefox with sudo in the future :) [20:45] snoopddrm: wy are you trying to run firefox as root????? [20:45] dewdude: this is via the file manager [20:45] I ran a grep statement like grep -r "141.218" /etc/ > /tmp/ipfoo is there a way to make grep show a progress bar? It's taking forever. Not sure how long it normally takes though to grep /etc/ [20:45] w0ls0n: did you get synaptic started? and did you highlight the kernel version in synaptic? [20:45] then i can't remember how i reconfigured mine....then again, i don't mount smb shares in ubuntu and every time I have, i did it manually. [20:45] the updater thing [20:45] pepperjack: & papapep: sorry, i didn't know lol [20:45] dewdude: I don't really want to have to edit fstab and put a buncha smb shares in there [20:45] snoopddrm: try this: sudo apt-get install wget; wget http://mirror.karneval.cz/pub/mozilla/firefox/releases/3.5.1/linux-i686/en-US/firefox-3.5.1.tar.bz2 [20:45] nor do I want a script or anything, I just want them to show in Places globally [20:45] oh hmm my grep stopped. It must be done [20:45] update manager [20:45] ShortWave, then fix gvfs? [20:45] This is a stock install [20:46] I imagine tis not broken [20:46] to allows mounts by users they gonna have to be in the user writable space [20:46] even typing just firefox in a terminal window also give me the same result [20:46] it just popps up when there are security updates [20:46] maybe there's a configuration you're missing? [20:46] laclasse: i suspect that's the root of the issue [20:46] pepperjack: okie am trying it now [20:46] I know devices i plug in show up in /media/whatever [20:46] hello! [20:46] laclasse: Or rather, at least, why they're mounted in .gvfs/whatever [20:46] <_rob_> i have a query about abiword, i know i've got the help files but when i click help it wants to go online [20:46] as far as smb shares...i ahve no idea where they go becuase i've NEVER automatically had one mounted....i think the few times I did it was a pain [20:46] pepperjack: its downloading [20:46] however, let me see what mine does [20:47] jrib: Just a "dont do it" isn't really usefull if you ask me.. I need to work with PHP5.3.0, which in package was only from dotdeb.. I could compile it, etc, but I dont want to go into that mess (Though it would work).. so I NEED to use the dotdeb repo.. [20:47] It mounts great, and I can browse it OK [20:47] Why is it that in order to have KDE, I need to have (it seems) EVERY package that is in KDE? [20:47] anyone knows a software translator like a widget for ubuntu [20:47] ? [20:47] ShortWave, its not an 'issue', it is a feature. gvfs for you. Being curious, is the netfs service running on ur box? [20:47] That is, from the normal browser, and it shows in places from the menu, and in a file browser window. [20:47] yo [20:47] laclasse: hahah, well [20:47] pepperjack: its done. do I need to do anything to execute it? [20:47] laclasse: the "issue" is that the SMB shares don't show in a file dialog in the places section [20:47] ShortWave, then your problem is actually the file dialog box on the application you're using [20:47] laclasse: Otherwise, they're fine. [20:47] If I know that the error is completely unsolvable, then I'll have to revert to installing php5.3 using manual compiling.. Sure can do but as long as packages and repositories are possible, I'll stick with those [20:47] snoopddrm: just doubleclick on it to open it then drag the firefox folder to your desktop [20:48] dewdude: Firefox appears to be using a file dialog that's "decorated" with gnome-specific stuff. [20:48] mechtech: that's not true. What makes you think that? [20:48] ShortWave, do they show when you click the 'Network' item? [20:48] in places? [20:48] I just got a computer that I could install linux onto, but i have no idea where to get drivers, can anyone help? [20:48] ShortWave: i think you can automount a smb share through fstab, using smbfs [20:48] scud: what drivers? [20:48] scud, linux ships majority of drivers [20:48] sonism: I know that...I don't *want* to do that. [20:48] yeah, cuz when i do file-open....all my nfs shares show up in places....however those were manually mounted to /media/whatever...let me see if i can't get ubuntu to see my samba [20:48] sonism: that's not my issue [20:48] pepperjack: ohyeah, i don't know if this matters, but i did an update for ubuntu from the update manager earlier. selected all packages. [20:49] Sonism: he's lazy and doesn't want to do that [20:49] papapep: well...whenever I try to remove a package that is part of KDE, synaptic also wants to remove KDE itself [20:49] It's not me. [20:49] It's my wife. [20:49] She knows jack about Samba [20:49] if i have my desktop effects configured to extra and attempt gaming performance? [20:49] to have a share mounted in .gvfs/ just seems yucky to me . . . [20:49] phoenixz: The package requires one version of libtool and you have another. Just build your own package [20:49] She just wants to click on a server, and get files and be done. [20:49] pepperjack: so sorry, but double click what? there is nothing to double click on in the terminal window. sorry, i'm a noob at ubuntu [20:49] i would setup the shares in /etc/fstab, with noauto [20:49] I want her to be able to go File -> Open -> Home on and see her files in say, Firefox [20:50] it's an hp slimline pc, and it's pretty virus infested, i'd have to run dban to get rid of everything, and hp is making me pay to get the drivers for it so i figured i migt as well install linux [20:50] Yeah, I know this is a stringent use case, but hey [20:50] jrib: but the required package is >=2.2 and I have 2.2.6... [20:50] it's what makes her happy :) [20:50] mechtech: I'm sure this doesn't happen with every KDE package. There are some core packages that are needed to keep it operative, but all, all the packages, no... :) [20:50] <_rob_> i have a query about abiword, i know i've got the help files but when i click help it wants to go online [20:50] <_rob_> is there any way i can tell it where to look for the files [20:50] ugh, pleasing people [20:51] anywhere ubuntu-koala testing room? I have some issues with sound... [20:51] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gvfs/+bug/273213 [20:51] That's a relevant bug [20:51] phoenixz: pastebin the details (apt-cache policy and apt-cache show of all relevant packages) [20:51] !karmic | Michalxo [20:51] Michalxo: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [20:51] ShortWave, there are many other issues. By allowing user to change network connections or mount devices, while keeping a high level of separation and privileges isolation, we are essentially breaking things. Try this: log in desktop, connect to wired / wirelss network, open a shell, mount a nfs share. Then go in the desk top and reboot the machine. Network connection gets killed with the desktop (userland) while the mount persist, an [20:51] d when you try to umount ... network's gone. [20:51] papapep: I think I'll just remove KDE, the only reason I was keeping it is my daughter likes it [20:51] erUSUL, thx [20:51] laclasse: I'm aware of these issues. [20:52] Any fixes for the DNS problem swamping the forum over the weekend? [20:52] !karmic | Michalxo [20:52] Michalxo: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [20:52] mechtech: well, that's another way of solving the problem XD [20:52] laclasse: That's why I'm limiting the case to SMB, since it's a "soft mount" via gvfs [20:52] laclasse: It's easy to browse by just going to Network in places [20:52] legend2440, thanks already get there :) [20:52] insomic: it depends on your graphic card ati/amd has a problem with tearing in videos and games while composite is enabled [20:52] laclasse, you have entirely too much time on your hands . . . [20:52] oskar-, that what Im looking for yea... but thats for a jack server, no shoutcast :( [20:53] papapep: Think I need to reboot after?removed about 60 different packages...will be removing KDE soon I just [20:53] Ooh [20:53] Idea [20:53] overclucker, err ... not at all. i am very busy thank you ;-) [20:53] pepperjack: ok got it, its extracted and the firefox is on the desktop... [20:53] nJustin3k: i don't know, i just search with "apt-cache search shoutcast" [20:53] sudo fdisk -l says 'Partition table entries are not in disk order' ??? [20:54] oskar-, ahh, thanks anyway :) :) [20:54] i can't boot into my ubuntu in grub and i've setup grub and installed [20:55] ShortWave, that lp bug sounds like ur issue. [20:55] pan_, grub error message? [20:55] i tarred my whole system and tar -C back to where it should be [20:55] pan__: what's the error? [20:55] cannot read [20:55] I am on ubuntu on a laptop with an unsupported graphics card, running vesa. I don't need any acceleration. Can I at least configure vesa to use a higher resolution? [20:55] seems like it cannot find the kernel [20:55] aaandaiii, only 4:3 resolutions [20:56] Anyone Knows a widget which can translate??? [20:56] no wide screen on vesa modes [20:56] kernel who? [20:56] laclasse: that's okay, but can I get it ANY higher than 1024x768? [20:56] hmmm.... i've now got it on the desktop, what do i do next? sorry for repeating [20:56] how do I get the maximum resolution on my laptop? is Compaq nx6120 [20:57] pan__ what is you disk layout? boot is same as root? [20:57] overclucker: im confused [20:57] aaandaiii, if your video bios advertizes the mode, yes. to make sure you could edit /etc/x11/xorg.conf and add a Mode "1280x1024" for example and restart the desktop. [20:57] jrib: http://pastebin.com/m24e2c277 [20:57] laclasse: Could be, yeah [20:57] I'll dig into it and see if I can surface with some sorta solution here [20:58] snoopddrm: so try like /home/$USER/Desktop/firefox/firefox <-- in terminal [20:58] pan__: is "/" on the same partition as "/boot" [20:58] yes [20:58] k4dm3l, try xrandr [20:58] phoenixz: I meant apt-cache policy PACKAGE, sorry [20:58] aaandaiii, a look in /var/log/Xorg.0.log could tell you whats going on. whats the gfx card btw? [20:58] papapep: It was a BIOS security setting the last guy had enabled. [20:58] jrib: no problem, one sec [20:58] pan__: why did you tar your system? to move it another partition? [20:58] what is uuid [20:58] hi will someone be willing to do remote desktop with me i cant figure out how to play source games. in return i will give a guest pass of team fortress 2 (extra info )steam and wine is installed and work along with the original halflife [20:58] pepperjack: its on the desktop now [20:58] snoopddrm: so try like /home/$USER/Desktop/firefox/firefox <-- in terminal [20:58] pan__: uuid is an id for a partition (at least in this case) [20:59] papapep Thanks again for the help. [20:59] laclasse: ATI Technologies Inc Mobility Radeon HD 3650 [20:59] phoenixz: never mind, it's clear now. For some reason the php5-dev package has "Conflicts: libtool (>= 2.2)", so you can't install it with a libtool version that is >= 2.2 [20:59] pan__, so when you configure grub, you need to specify the root device,partition; and the kernel to use. [20:59] pan__: if you have made any changes to your filestystem between tarring/untarring, then it's quite probable, that uuid-s have changed [20:59] aaandaiii, is that too new to be supported? even with fglrx prop drivers? [20:59] does ubuntu opens a flash drive automatically? [20:59] pepperjack: i did that in the terminal, this is the output: /home/twowire/Desktop/firefox/run-mozilla.sh: 399: /home/twowire/Desktop/firefox/firefox-bin: not found [20:59] pan__: you can check uuid using "volid" [20:59] laclasse: ATI doesn't have a driver download for that exact card, I tried something similar several times and had to do a complete resinstall (could never figure out how to just reinstall xorg :/) [21:00] alex-weej, yes [21:00] aaandaiii, i am a bit out of touch on ati, but i thought the new radeon driver supported high end models. [21:00] pan__: it should be something like "sudo volid -u /dev/" [21:00] insomic, NO [21:00] jrib: ah, canNOT... :) Now I get the problem.. so just another question.. would it be possible to install a <2.2 version of libtool right next to the existing >2.2 version of libtool? [21:00] laclasse: The laptop came with vista, I'm not sure how old it is. Toshiba Satellite A350-12D [21:00] hi will someone be willing to do remote desktop with me i cant figure out how to play source games. in return i will give a guest pass of team fortress 2 (extra info )steam and wine is installed and work along with the original halflife [21:00] pan__: confirm that your root partiton's uuid reported by volid is the same as one in menu.lst [21:00] laclasse: what package exactly are you referring to? [21:00] AlexanderSupertr: yes [21:00] aaandaiii, exact card is not really a problem, the core is most likely sold to an assemblor that makes a special revision of the card for laptops === worm__ is now known as worm [21:01] phoenixz: it's weird, if you look at the source package it has "support new (>= 2.2) and older versions of libtool for backporting ease" [21:01] so i still cant move this gnome menu so that its to the top left only [21:01] aaandaiii, therefore, did you simply try activating the universe repository and installing the ati prop driver from the add/remove menu item? [21:01] pan__: sorry, it's "blkid", not "volid" [21:01] insomic: that would be VERY inadvisable to have some unknown person roam around your computer... [21:01] snoopddrm: are you basically trying to make an ubuntu livecd? [21:01] aaandaiii, fglrx ati proprietary driver [21:01] snoopddrm: or rather usb [21:01] i will give it a try [21:01] aaandaiii, it should be in your universe repo [21:01] but i really dont know what to do [21:02] jrib: ahw.. well, then my first confusion stands anyway :) it says it works with >2.2, which I have b ut it complains its incompatible anyway [21:02] pepperjack: no, i have already installed ubuntu on a usbstick from a livecd. [21:02] yeah that might make some sense [21:02] into it not reading [21:02] thx [21:02] i will read man pages [21:02] hmm [21:02] pepperjack: I have done the updates from the update manager and fixed the sound for my notebook. [21:02] aaandaiii, most lilely your card is supported. Are you runnign the latest version of Ubuntu (9.04) ? [21:02] pan__: if it's different, you'll have to update grub's menu.lst and /etc/fstab [21:02] phoenixz: well that was just a comment from the source package. If I were you I would try to find out exactly what the issue is with having libtool >= 2.2 [21:03] soundcard question. conexant venice. has various known issues, including unresponsive capture level control, but i used not to experience that one. now suddenly i do. what could have changed? [21:03] pepperjack: but for some reason, clicking on firefox it doesn't work. i did start up the browser, went to ubuntuforums.org site and then it terminated by itself. [21:03] erusul: thanks. [21:03] Can any one tell me what is the difference in synaptic between remove and completely remove? [21:03] How come the Ubuntu package for the binary nivida drivers (nvidia-glx-180) is at 180.44 when nvidia has released 185.18.14, is there some nvidia-glx-185 package I'm missing? [21:03] laclasse: ATI binary xorg driver? [21:03] laclasse: Yes 9.04 [21:03] pepperjack: clicking on the firefox icon does not start the browser. [21:03] mechtech: the latter gets rid of config files, etc [21:03] Thats what I was trying to do.. I'm considdering just compiling php5 manually now, just as easy..

I think I will now find a dark corner and rip my own head off [21:04] LordLandon: thanks...didn't want to accidentally hose my system [21:04] aaandaiii, same tip actually [21:04] is there anyway to unload firefox and try and reload it? [21:04] snoopddrm: you should be able to just go in that firefox folder and doubleclick on 'firefox' assuming dependancies are installed [21:04] i'm sorry, i don't know how to do this in ubuntu [21:05] java not working in opera and firefox even after installing restricted extra package in jaunty [21:05] aaandaiii, check this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [21:05] I know Ubuntu doesn't have the latest packages as they come out, but it seems to be really lagging behind in this case, checking out that link now [21:05] snoopddrm: just double-click on the folder on the desktop. there should be a firefox file [21:05] snoopddrm: just uninstall it (completely) and then install it again [21:05] laclasse: I saw :) [21:05] <^^f> could someone help me to deinstall linux from my hdd? with live cd , i want to reinstall it to solve a problem [21:05] snape: java plugin used to have issues when openjdk was installed, uninstall it [21:05] snape: you can check for package names by "dpkg -l | grep -i java" [21:06] ^^f: what is the problem...re-install might be waaay overkill [21:06] aaandaiii, but this leads you here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI [21:06] !hello | rtp2342 [21:06] rtp2342: Hi!

[21:19] but it only shows 1024x768 [21:19] pan__: no, just replace uuid [21:19] laclasse: the thing is I want more than that [21:20] pan__: and also in /boot/grub/menu.lst [21:20] janisoza1r: fstab there is no uuid [21:20] dremits, netstat -tcp | grep 8080 [21:20] erUSUL i get this: lsof: status error on :8080: No such file or directory [21:20] janisoza1r: do i type uuid=#?? [21:20] pan__: then pastebin [21:20] janisoza1r: alright [21:20] Some_Person, I'd think it would use fat32 and not fat16 [21:20] k4dm3l: what graphics card do you have? [21:21] janisoza1r: http://paste-bin.com/view/c813353e [21:21] k4dm3l, maybe your card / screen combination doesn;t support more, maybe you need to install some hardware proprietary drivers, what card / screen do you have? [21:21] janisoza1r: the dependancies are firefox-3.0 and firefox-3.0 -branding [21:21] I tried `grub-install /dev/sda` but got "Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device." Any idea what's missing here? [21:21] laclasse it just hangs with that command [21:21] dremits: is « lsof -i :8080 » [21:21] snoopddrm: then you should purge also those packages [21:21] janisoza1r: nothing [21:22] Hi all, how can I increase the screen brightness for an ubuntu Intrepid install? Thank you. [21:22] dremits, are you root ? sudo in front [21:22] snoopddrm: when you later "sudo apt-get install firefox", then it should install those packages again [21:22] this will tell you which program holds a connection on 8080 [21:22] snape: good, then just install sun-java6-plugin and restart your browsers [21:22] lsof will do the same. [21:22] janisoza1r: purge purge... umm..... how do i purge them? [21:22] laclasse yep did that [21:22] snoopddrm: right click on package [21:22] and it hangs? [21:22] hi [21:22] erUSUL says apache2 [21:23] didn't realise it used port 8080? [21:23] could be [21:23] /etc/init.d/apache2 stop [21:23] snoopddrm: the colour of the box to the left should change (or have red X or something) [21:23] can anyone recommend a good / easy DVD ripping software (or may be a guide would be best) ? I have a lot of movies I wanted to rip.. [21:23] as root. [21:23] dremits: now you know who is listenning there you shut it down or remove it [21:23] pan__: did you paste /etc/fstab or fstab from the filesystem on your disk with your ubuntu? [21:23] @ vxp - try acidrip - it's in the repos and i a nice front end for mencoder [21:23] pan__: i mean is it from livecd or from the disk? [21:24] 1 sec, will do [21:24] janisoza1r: the option is mark for removal or mark for complete removal? [21:24] vxp_, mate of mine wrote acidrip ... not sure if maintained anymore. but it had easy gtk interface and uses memcoder. [21:24] snoopddrm: the second one [21:24] my fstab from my /dev/sda6 [21:24] okie [21:24] OEP: Still no luck [21:24] janisoza1r: fstab from the drive i mounted [21:24] snoopddrm: it's the same as "sudo apt-get purge ..." [21:24] vxp_, http://untrepid.com/acidrip/ [21:24] laclasse, I'm installing it now [21:24] Some_Person, have you checked out the partition table? does everything look square there? [21:24] it's in the reos, as you said [21:24] :) [21:25] s/reos/repos [21:25] janisoza1r: the disk [21:25] janisoza1r: okie, its done, completely removed. [21:25] Is nzbget packaged anywhere in Ubuntu? [21:25] OEP: It looks ok [21:25] snoopddrm: both -3.0 and -3.0-branding? [21:25] janisoza1r: thanks a lot [21:25] snoopddrm: then now just install "firefox" [21:25] no worries mate - I've been ripping my collection to Divx to save the daughter scratching discs!! [21:25] Gtk-WARNING **: Theme directory of theme Azenis Icons has no size field [21:26] pan__: hmm.. never met aufs before [21:26] janisoza1r: sorry [21:26] janisoza1r: i messed up i was wrong [21:26] how to remove my older kernel version??it annoying me to choose in boot option menu. [21:26] janisoza1r: accidentlly typed in /etc [21:26] Some_Person, ok. if the partition type is ok (and a primary partition) and you're formatting it as vfat I guess that about sums up everything I know to check for :P [21:26] janisoza1r: which was live cd [21:26] Qu4R0w: like any other package... use synaptic for example [21:26] pan__: that'd explain a lot [21:26] janisoza1r: i see UUID [21:26] @Qu4R0w - just edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst [21:26] janisoza1r: i know >_< [21:26] and remove the option [21:26] janisoza1r: sorry for the confusion [21:27] i want to del it [21:27] what to search?? [21:27] pan__: then edit the /etc/fstab and /boot/grub/menu.lst on your disk [21:27] janissoza1r: yes, removed the branding too [21:27] i also have to specify uuid for swap as well right? [21:27] Qu4R0w: linux-image [21:27] pan__: if it's changed, then yes [21:27] janisoza1r: am doin the sudo apt-get install firefox now [21:28] erUSUL: i try [21:28] janisoza1r: thank you so much [21:28] erUSUL came up with what appears to be an error when stopping apache http://pastebin.com/m6b3ec403 [21:28] laclasse: Agh the same thing happened now like when I installed ati's official drivers without knowing what I was doing [21:28] snoopddrm: do you have any hunch why didn't it start in the first place? did it ever start? [21:29] laclasse: when it tries to start X i get those strange visual artifacts and nothing else [21:29] dremits: you seem to have something worng in apache's config files... i'm not expert on apache so i dunno [21:29] pan__: in menu.lst there are 2 places to put uuid, be sure to update both [21:29] janisoza1r: oh yes, i did start, worked for a while. then it abruptly closed. i don't know why. i could only get it to start again if i rebooted [21:29] how can i see my current kernel version? [21:29] laclasse: I tried installing the restricted drivers before, the progress bar just stayed at 0% for two hours. But that won't help now. I have the package installed, do I still need to copy some things somewhere? [21:30] pan__: in "root ...." and in "kernel .... root=...." [21:30] uname -r [21:30] if i put a 1GB UNR .img onto a 4GB thumb drive, how can i use the extra 3GB for file storage? [21:30] aandaii, try to run 'aticonfig' as root [21:30] it is safe i remove my older kernel version? [21:30] snoopddrm: then perhaps it is a problem with cache or /tmp? [21:30] aandaii, i take it that you have a shell / console on the box? in one of the VT? [21:30] helo, make 2 partitions [21:30] janisoza1r: damn... same thing... it doesn't work. i did the command in terminal as well as clicking on the icon [21:31] Qu4R0w: yes, but keep latest and latest -1 to be sure [21:31] in terminal does it produce any output? [21:31] owh..ok2.. [21:31] Qu4R0w, what for? its more unsafe than anything. Its not bad to always have a kernel to boot on just-in-case [21:31] janisoza1r: in terminal the output is illegal instruction [21:31] snoopddrm: which ubuntu are you running? [21:32] !firefox [21:32] firefox is the default web-browser on Ubuntu. To install the latest version, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion Installing plugins: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxPlugins - See also !firefox-3.5 [21:32] erUSUL turns out i had a virtual server running on 8080. removed and port is free. thanks [21:32] janisoza1r: when i enter "firefox" in terminal, the output is "illegal instruction" [21:32] Has any [21:32] has [21:32] !firefox-3.5 [21:32] laclasse: I ran aticonfig --initial, it succeded. I'll see if it worked [21:32] Firefox 3.5 Final is available for Jaunty by installing the package firefox-3.5 and firefox-3.5-gnome-support | FF3.5 is referred to as Shiretoko on your UI, see http://is.gd/1reB3 for an explanation | Hardy & Intrepid: http://is.gd/1jkNY [21:32] janisoza1r: i'm running jaunty jackalope with all the updates selected and unpacked from the update manager. [21:32] snoopddrm: what kind of system is this? Can you pastebin its /proc/cpuinfo? [21:32] laclasse: is an intel my card [21:32] snoopddrm: and what version of firefox is it? [21:32] deany: after writing the .img to the thumb drive, the partition table appears to be invalid... [21:32] laclasse: No, black screen [21:33] janisoza1r: what is the purpose of a uuid instead of hd(?,?) ? [21:33] does any of you have any experience connecting laptops to projectors in ubuntu? [21:33] mzz: how do i check that? coz I can't telll without firefox starting up. [21:33] snoopddrm: can you check if there is firefox-3.5 package in your system? "apt-cache search firefox-3.5" [21:33] for some reason not all the windows in the workspace are appearing in the task bar. I think it's a compiz related issue because I was having it when I was using gentoo+xfce+compiz-fusion [21:33] pan__: a uuid doesn't break if you rearrange the partitions but does break if you reformat the partition [21:33] snoopddrm: how did you install firefox? Can you do that pastebin? [21:34] anyone else having the issue of taskbar not showing some windows? [21:34] aandaii, you can edit files? try nano /etc/x11/xorg.conf, and see if you can make it safer: lower resolution, make sure driver -> is fglrx save and restart display/ gdm [21:34] mzz: he has just purged firefox-3.0 and installed firefox [21:34] snoopddrm: I'd have to ask around, but it's possible the jit in firefox 3.5 has issues on sse-less (or possibly mmx-less) systems [21:34] janisoza1r: meaning which version? [21:34] i just install backtrack 4 on my hdisk=/dev/sda8/ as "/" also same mount point with my ubuntu..after i reboot,i cant see backtrack boot option [21:34] aandaii, you should at last be able to get a display. What is the exact laptop model again? [21:35] mzz: that'd be 3.0 i guess, since 3.5 isn't installed unless explicitly specified [21:35] snoopddrm: so I'm guessing either you're running an unusual cpu, you installed a package for the wrong architecture, or the binary got corrupted somehow [21:35] janisoza1r: & mzz: how do i do a paste-bin? i can't open a browser to get there [21:35] abrowser-3.1 - dummy upgrade package for firefox-3.1 -> firefox-3.5 [21:35] abrowser-3.1-branding - dummy upgrade package for firefox-3.1 -> firefox-3.5 [21:35] firefox-3.1 - dummy upgrade package for firefox-3.1 -> firefox-3.5 [21:35] firefox-3.1-branding - dummy upgrade package for firefox-3.1 -> firefox-3.5 [21:35] firefox-3.1-dbg - dummy upgrade package for firefox-3.1 -> firefox-3.5 [21:35] firefox-3.1-dev - dummy upgrade package for firefox-3.1 -> firefox-3.5 [21:35] snoopddrm: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

They have 'uname -r' in them, am I supposed to substitute that for something else? [21:35] k4dm3l, what is your graphics card? [21:35] Hallo all [21:35] helo, what partition setup have you got on it [21:35] sorrry! [21:36] aandaii, no, type as is, they will be subtituted [21:36] aandaii: they may have `uname -r` (those quotes are different, and this is important) [21:36] I moved my boot partition to another hard drive [21:36] with gparted [21:36] aandaii: can you link to the instructions? [21:36] now I need to reset grub [21:36] aandaii, and yes, you need to follow the end of the howto [21:36] !grub | georg_ [21:36] georg_: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager.

You're on your own with those, sorry. [21:37] can I install grub on sda and poit root to sdb1 [21:37] georg_: root can be where ever you want [21:37] mzz, aandaii is unfortunately, he seems to have aparticular exotic ati card as well ... :| [21:37] could somebody please tell me how to remove pulseaudio? [21:37] Where do I find the keyboard setup option in Kubuntu? [21:38] mzz: i downloaded it. in terminal i typed pastebinit (i'm assuming that's how u start it) nothing happens [21:38] Michalxo: lspci? [21:38] deany: i know how to dd an .img onto a drive [21:38] so I'm trying another croot run [21:38] aandaii: but for that `uname -r` stuff: the instructions are correct, but make sure you type backticks (usually on the "~" key), not regular single quotes [21:38] k4dm3l, yes [21:38] Michalxo: Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML [21:38] snoopddrm: "pastebinit /proc/cpuinfo" [21:38] georg_: yes, you can [21:38] !grub | georg_ [21:38] sorry, am a complete noob [21:39] helo, format 1 partition as fat32 for the UNR and the other as, I guess whatever. [21:39] Michalxo: mi laptops is Compaq nx6120 [21:39] snoopddrm: it's fine, many people are a bit lost without gui tools [21:39] helo, write img to it, it works, I use it [21:39] mzz, laclasse: Yeah, the reason I asked, I got the same error again: "Package 'linux-restricted-modules-uname' is not installed and no info is availible.'" The howto assumes I used the restricted drivers module (which i tried a few weeks ago and did not work) but I installed the ati binary driver through Add/Remove. [21:39] mzz: so sorry ;-( [21:39] laclasse, acidrip seems wonderful. ripping one dvd to an AVI now. do you know if acidrip is able to duplicate DVDs, as well?

[21:41] i was earlier but i figured it out nsahoo [21:41] nsahoo, nope not her [21:41] outy: what did you do? [21:41] nsahoo: not showing what windows? [21:41] k4dm3l, see "private chat" [21:41] mzz: randomly, often times the matlab window [21:41] nsahoo: check the preferences, notice it groups similar windows by default. [21:42] how do i make source games work in wine? [21:42] mzz: ya, but, none of the matlab windows are in the task bar! [21:42] @shell: pray [21:42] nsahoo: also, some windows will set hints causing them to not show up on the task bar. I wouldn't expect this to be compiz-related, but that's easily checked by temporarily switching to no desktop effects in system -> preferences -> appearance -> visual effects [21:42] !iso [21:42] To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning.

[21:45] pyrak: yes [21:45] pyrak: that sounds like an unusual thing to want to do [21:45] i just installed a pcie card on my motherboard (foxconn with onboard sis card) and the pc hangs after post. google doesn't help. any pointers on where i should look first? i've got jaunty installed. could the change from onboard to pcie affect grub? [21:45] mzz, Okay, I'd rather use the open ones as long as they get me a less blurry resolution. But do they support ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650? [21:45] ascheel, it said that #wine was a invite only chanell 0_o [21:46] shell: whoops [21:46] shell: try #winehq [21:46] aandaii: I don't actually see "3650" in "man radeon", but I don't know if that actually means it's not supported [21:46] bidossessi_: pcie card should not affect grub. You did move the monitor cable over? You may want to reseat teh card.. be sure to UNPLUG the pc from the wall befor doing stuf like that. [21:46] UI error: Cannot open `/boot/grub/device.map [21:46] aandaii: (I don't have the family tree of radeon cards in my head either) [21:47] bidossessi_: ive had some quirky machines wehre i had to disable to onboard card FIRST then install the new card.

What package is that and how do I remove it, and can I remove it without internet? [21:48] Dr_Willis: i figured since i still get POST, then maybe the issue is with grub? [21:48] Qu4R0w, cache doesn't seem to be an available parameter [21:48] Qu4R0w: moreover, as i recall bt4 is a livecd, you could check what options are passed during bootup [21:49] menu.lst is fine [21:49] majikman, apt-cache search what_you_want [21:49] Qu4R0w: or after it has booted, using "dmesg" [21:49] there is a problem in device list [21:49] ahh.... ok. there we go. thanks [21:49] np [21:49] dmesg is what??where to using it?

[22:50] anybody? [22:50] BigTuna: "sudo blkid /dev/"? [22:50] So, anyone have advice for when none of the boot options seem to work? Is it my CD? I can't get past the boot menu [22:51] any help on setting up proxies? [22:51] berriop amsn can chat with voice ??? [22:51] Is there a way to install Ubuntu from within a different Linux distro on the same HD, without repartitioning or modifying the boot loader? [22:51] I have a problem with transferring large files to an external HD with usb 2.0 capability. im using ubuntu jaunty jack, but the file transfer speed does not change from 1mb/s. Does anyone know if there Is there a special package i need for usb 2.0 to bump up the file transfer speed? [22:51] BigTuna: i'm guessing it might be using exFat by MS, which is not supported in linux afaik [22:51] berriop did you try to enforce use 100baseTx on both sides? check mii-tool --help [22:51] I want to set up 7 proxies, but I have no idea how in Linux. [22:51] berriop amsn can chat with voice ??? [22:51] maybe keep an open internet connection that uses phone type stuff and multiple party listening and talking? Is that what msn speak does. [22:51] where would I go in GNOME to set stuff like that up? [22:51] helper: ok i ll try that [22:51] BigTuna: you'd have to use windows to back up your files, use camera to format it and use it as you wish [22:52] generic155481: why do you need to set up 7 proxies? [22:52] janisoza1r, It executed [22:52] janisoza1r, thanks! [22:52] janisoza1r: hello, i'm back. [22:52] snoopddrm: from livecd or usb? [22:52] janisoza1r: have done the fsck [22:52] snoopddrm: have you used -p option? [22:52] mohd: Im not really sure, i didnt try it, i just try it with cam and really good, it is the most similar to msn, have a try [22:52] janisoza1r: what was the option again? [22:53] janisoza1r: the -p is for what option? [22:53] I'm trying Ubuntu with the help of WUBI ... tonight, i ll delete windows :P [22:53] ok berr [22:53] janisoza1r: i did a couple of them, force check and correct all without prompting [22:53] snoopddrm: not good. -p, according to man, "preens" the files system. i don't know this word, but i guess it means that it actually writes to the fs... anyway, is the problem gone? [22:53] BlinkSun: you do realize that wubi uses windows stuff to boot? [22:53] ok i just didnt the update to koala and everything looks the same how would i know if it isntalled [22:54] has anyone ever experience banshee separating songs from the same album just because of different artist names? If so how do I go about fixing this? [22:54] yess, it's why i ll install ubuntu alone... without dualboot with windows ! [22:54] i think so, i keep rebooting and discovering new problems. could it be the usb thumdrive? but i just bought it a week ago to install ubuntu on it [22:55] BlinkSun: As long as you're OK with your current Ubuntu environment being lost and having a completely fresh install. [22:55] BlinkSun: ok.. just wanted to make sure you dident remove windows.. then winder where WUBI went.. [22:55] snoopddrm: what kind of problems? [22:55] heya im using 9.04 and have a problem with the cpu governor. even if i set it to "performance" it wont scale my cpu higher than 1.2GHz although it can do 1.6 GHz. if i set it to "powersafe" it scales down to 800. any idea how to set my cpu to 1.6? [22:55] janisoza1r: why are some windows slowly getting greyed out and then become brighter after a while? [22:55] I have a problem with transferring large files to an external HD with usb 2.0 capability. im using ubuntu jaunty jack, but the file transfer speed does not change from 1mb/s. Does anyone know if there Is there a special package i need for usb 2.0 to bump up the file transfer speed? [22:55] BlinkSun, from wikipedia: A Microsoft Windows migration tool, called Migration Assistant (introduced in April 2007)[31], can be used to import bookmarks, desktop background (wallpaper), and various settings from an existing MS Windows installation into a new Ubuntu installation.[32] [22:55] janisoza1r: while its greyed out, the window is like frozen. [22:55] snoopddrm: they don't respond, so the gui notifies you about that [22:56] snoopddrm: that's exactly why [22:56] janisoza1r: ah... it happens often, but usually comes out of it. [22:56] helper: which should i choose 100 base HD FD T4? whis is d difference? [22:56] oh nice, on the wiki.ubuntu ? [22:56] snoopddrm: what appllications? [22:56] So, I've been having software raid issues since day 1 with this machine [22:56] pidgin for one, [22:56] snoopddrm: it's weird, you shouldn't see too much of it, unless you expect it [22:56] sometimes other windows that i have open they don't respond [22:56] but i dont' have more than one firefox open [22:56] I've finally figured it out; SDB is not, at poot, reading the partition header [22:56] GauntletWizard: never use raid.. lol [22:56] Kora, sometime's motherboard manufacturers don't write a healthy bios that linux can use out of the box. You might have an easier time using the bios itself as your governer, using APM instead of ACPI [22:56] does anyone know how to install the new kubuntu along side ubuntu [22:57] snoopddrm: as in "long calculations or busy I/O operation" [22:57] would it just be like installing the old one threw synaptic? [22:57] webb_b: 'new' ? as in the next release/testinb version? [22:57] webb_b: make 2 seperate partitions? [22:57] qkgus: My job would like that; Isilon systems sells the Anti-raid [22:57] Well installed the Kurumin very long to get wireless internet now I did not install the Ubuntu and wireless Internet is already working? [22:57] snoopddrm: you can use gnome task manager to track the problem [22:57] janisoza1r: okie... any thoughts about my my system is thinking so long? is there any way to force ubuntu to load from usb stick to ram? [22:57] I am about to reformat my netbook HD and install reinstall ubuntu. What folders in particular do i need to backup? other than my docs and other downloads. [22:57] All the protection! None of the volume limitation! [22:57] /shill [22:57] webb_b: test the pre-release/alpha stuff inside virtualbox sessions. much easier. [22:57] GauntletWizard: lol [22:57] janisoza1r: okie, trying now [22:58] qe2eqe: the strange thing is it normally works,.... [22:58] BlinkSun, no, regular old en.wikipedia.org. Anyways, apparently wubi uses the same tool automagically? I've never done it myself [22:58] anybuntu: If you've done any complex configuration, you might want a copy of /etc. [22:58] snoopddrm: with knoppix there was boot option "toram", don't know about ubuntu, but i guess there is [22:58] But yea, definitely your home directory if nothing else. [22:58] Dr_Willis, i dont know how to use vm so [22:58] Well installed the Kurumin very long to get wireless internet now I did not install the Ubuntu and wireless Internet is already working? [22:58] janisoza1r: ah i c i c... am googling it now [22:58] the only thing i have done is mess with the gfx menu.. running mint right now.. [22:59] qe2eqe: im using an xfce governor panel plugin to change the settings, can i change them via console? [22:59] but i did the update to the 9.10 koala but ev erything looks the same [22:59] berriop HD = Half-Duplex, FD= Full Duplex [22:59] anybuntu: Any user configuration stuff is probably in a hidden directory underneath your home directory, so just grabbing all of ~ should be enough. [22:59] !version | webb_b [22:59] webb_b: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy » [22:59] on the internet the 9.10 looks way differant [22:59] webb_b: if you updates/upgraded - themn your users settings are the same.. so it should look the same. [22:59] ok [22:59] snoopddrm: perhaps the usb stick can't handle too much data being transfered? that would mean that transferring to ram *could* help [23:00] webb_b: try a new user to see the new defaults if you want. [23:00] fdisk shows the partitions, no problem [23:00] okay cool... thanks trimeta... gonna start my 30 linux challenge tomorrow... basically try to use linux only and no other system to do my day to day stuff. [23:00] is there anyway to refresh /var/cache/apt/archives/ so I can use aptoncd to build in iso? [23:00] ok [23:00] how do i set my soundcard sample rate [23:00] and when I re-save with fdisk, it finds the partitions [23:00] berriop different! Half-Duplex use one pc send and other only receive which this can cause collision on hubs, while Full Duplex Both Can send and receive which is more enhance but you are using point-to-point doesn't matter but anyway use FD [23:00] Kora, I just don't know. Are you sure you're testing it right? Are you giving it a full load? Is hyperthreading/yoursecond cpu at full load? -- Yes, you can, but I forget the command. You echo something into /proc/acpi/,... [23:00] Hi, i got a .xml file , when i import it into msmq it always set vt_empty. Here is an example of my .xml file. http://pastebin.com/m55c454fa . am I missing a body type?? or how to do i add it? thanks.. [23:00] snoopddrm: however, once loaded, ubuntu should use very little of that usb, unless, say, loading a new app [23:00] anybuntu: Good luck. [23:00] thx [23:00] but at boot, it finds the partitions for the identical drive on another sata port, but not this one [23:01] qe2eqe: is there a good tool to give it a full load? [23:01] but if i were to just install the "kubuntu desktop" from synaptic wouldnt that install the new one that just came out [23:01] qe2eqe: perhaps it's doctype? [23:01] webb_b: depends on what you have installed now each release has its own 'repositories' so most likely not. [23:01] ill just install it onto a usb disk to test it out [23:01] qe2eqe: sorry, not you [23:01] aboyz: perhaps it's doctype? [23:02] janisoza1r, np. [23:02] webb_b: Or you could learn how to use a VM; they're much easier than they sound. [23:02] is there anyway to refresh /var/cache/apt/archives/ so I can use aptoncd to build in iso? [23:02] i have 9.10 installed drwillis [23:02] janisoza. doctype in where? in my .xml setting?? [23:02] webb_b: so you are going to be using the versions in te 9.10 repositories.. [23:02] mrwes, do you know of a good place to start learning,, any specific web sites [23:02] kora, I don't know... try a few tabs of firefox at youtube? [23:02] aboyz: you can take it to validator (http://validator.w3.org/) i think [23:03] Dr_Willis, ya [23:03] webb_b: virtualbox homepage has docs on using virtualbox. [23:03] qe2eqe just found cpuburn [23:03] kora, I use the UBCD usually to test that stuff [23:03] .help dual booting [23:03] webb_b, of course I do [23:03] so vb is not that hard for a "noob" [23:03] webb_b: theres no need to rush into testing the next ubuntu release - unless you just gotta 'see whats going on' [23:03] webb_b: If you can install Ubuntu on a computer, you can install Ubuntu in a VM. [23:04] !tab | aboyz [23:04] helper: thanks very much, but it seems one of the pc does not support MII queries [23:04] aboyz: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [23:04] kora, yeah, that came to mind, I'm surprised it's in the apt tree as cpuburn... because cpu[tab] didn't show me anything. [23:04] hello everybody [23:04] anyone know a good program for turning a vodsub subtitle file into a srt file. i tried sub2srt but it says it can't read the file format. [23:04] Dr_Willis, im pretty fresh to linux so i like to test everything i can to get a better view of the linux "scene" [23:04] helper: SIOCGMIIPHY on 'eth?' failed: Operation not supported The interface in question does not support MII queries. Most likely, it does not have MII transceivers, at all. [23:04] i need help with setting routes for my VPN [23:04] qe2eqe: found it cpu | grep load [23:04] helper: maybe the interface is too old [23:04] i have a router at home [23:04] may I ask for help here? [23:05] yes [23:05] berriop is't new NIC or old ? [23:05] !ask | felix_ [23:05] and am connecting to it by ethernet [23:05] felix_: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [23:05] berriop ah ok seems so :) [23:05] helper: old [23:05] the router is connecting me to a larger local network [23:05] berriop well, sorry :) hope i can help you as much as i know :) [23:05] with ips in the 10.x.x.x range [23:05] ill go check out virtual box [23:06] so i have entered the route 10.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 10.40.3.49 in network manager [23:06] so far so good [23:06] helper: ok problem solved, interface needs to rejuvenate :), thanks very very much av a nice day or night [23:06] the vpn server is set on 10.40.0.1 [23:06] webb_b: yea, vbox is pretty cool, and fairly easy to figure out. [23:06] does someone know how to set soundcard sample rates in k/ubuntu 9.04? [23:06] and is used for internet sharing [23:07] berriop nop :) [23:07] what can you do with it.. is it more or less a virtual computer to run iso.s [23:07] Hi there. Does flash work in 64-bit Ubuntu? [23:07] with 10.40.0.1 and username+password i am connected [23:07] but cannot access anything on the internet [23:07] node357: yes [23:07] webb_b: it's your standard-issue virtual machine - you can install other operating systems in it, and open them up and boot them inside a window on your main host os. [23:07] funkywds, thank you! [23:07] ubuttu: felix just seems to want to ask to ask a question, just that [23:07] ok then.. my php stopped working. now when I try to run any scripts, firefox asks me to download the file. php apache mode is enabled. restart apache dont work too. what could be? [23:08] node357: well, it does for me [23:08] do i want to download the guest utilis or the guest x-11 [23:08] funkywds, if it's possible, that's all I need to know, thanks. :) [23:08] felix_: Add a php handler within httpd.conf. [23:08] Need a little help, got MySQL via MediaWiki from Package Manager. I'm decent enough with bash and SQL but haven't the slightest idea how to log into my wiki's DB so I can make a few queries manually, if someone could fill me in please?

[23:17] funkywds: I wanted to try xubuntu but I've already found the browsing network problems.... [23:17] Armenian: it's a clever way of saying you should remove the speaker. Hold on though, I think the essay may have some tips on other solutions [23:17] felix_: php --version shows what?

It's been a while since I was inside an optiplex, back before the 500 series :S not sure I can help further [23:24] felix_: your php.ini file is trying to load an extension with a bad path. [23:25] felix_: you do not need xdebug.so for php [23:25] felix_: so remove that line [23:25] In other words, is it safe to add an NFS line in my /etc/fstab? What will happen when I turn on my laptop (client) outside the home network? [23:25] Nathan_R_Cda: ohh thanks anyway :( I mean there must be a way to disable it without taking it out physically, no? I tried the BIOS but when i disabled teh sound controller I lost audio thorugh speakers also [23:26] ARMENIAN: remove the pcspkr module [23:26] dragon_: there may be a delay when it boots.. but i dont think so. If you wanted you sould use the 'noauto' option so it dosent try to automount the nfs share at boot up [23:26] ARMENIAN: assuming I'm guessing about your question correctly, I haven't read my scrollback [23:26] is it differnt to do a do-release-upgrade and a aptitude dist-upgrade with the sources.list upgraded before ? [23:26] dragon_: aren't there any options in man fstab mentioned that would specify the behavior? [23:26] ARMENIAN: theres forums threads on the topic. :) one easy way.. blacklist thepcspkr module like mzz said. [23:27] ARMENIAN: (you can use /etc/modprobe.d/ for blacklisting it) [23:27] ARMENIAN: the 'beep' is not the same as a the sound card playback [23:27] anyone know a good program for turning a vodsub subtitle file into a srt file. i tried sub2srt but it says it can't read the file format. mplayer can't even open the subtitle file. i have an idx and a sub file. what's wrong here? [23:27] Dr_Willis: is there a way to defer mounting rather than using 'noauto'? [23:27] mzz: ill try that right now :) [23:27] janisoza1r: already checked the man pages [23:27] roger21: Yes. do-release-upgrade does some things that may not be possible in a regular package upgrade. It is reccomended that you use do-release-upgrade or update-manager to upgrade from one release to the next. [23:27] dragon_: use noauto then make a icon that runs a script to mount it if you wanted.. unless you want clarify what youmean by defer. :) [23:28] Pici, ok thx [23:28] donaldo: i looked around on the web, it seems that a few people have had this problem, and none have found a solution... [23:28] Dr_Willis: script should work for me, thanks!

[23:32] Would it be possible for me to assign shift+alt+8 and shift+alt+9 to produce { and } ? [23:32] FirstSgt, I use that with netbeans. is that the cause of php stopped work? I didnt change anything on the config files this week [23:32] found it [23:32] nanotube: 9.04 I installed the virtual ose package [23:33] moltenbobcat: ah ic. i'm on 8.10, and running non-ose version. either one could make the difference. :) [23:33] just the standard ones out of repo I thought it was a strange place to put it too [23:35] Failed to register the VirtualBox product.

You 'create' a cirtual machine.. install to the virtual machine.. and then click and boot that vrtual machine from the vbox gui. [23:40] gee, what do you mean. how many partitions make up your install? do you just have 1 hard drive and 1 parititon for / and /home? [23:40] felix_: no, there isn't a way an ide can prevent your server from working. [23:40] dont forget the swap partition also. :) [23:40] yes one partition for ubuntu and swap [23:41] felix_: you may have had code that would have changed the .ini file. e.g. ini_set('property','value'); within the code (but ini_set() is temporary.
