[00:07] caca [00:07] wweasel: :O [00:07] ubuntu: I woudn't recommend Pidgion for IRC, better off using Konversation and maybe Xchat [00:07] ubuntu: and if your up for it IRSSI in the termianl after configuring it [00:07] raulh: lol, but i dont think on MAX graphics [00:07] yes on max. [00:07] using xchat right now... but was curious [00:07] cosmic_ka: It's not like older iPods. The long and the short of it is that it's very locked down and can't be used as an external HD. [00:07] ubuntu: yes, it can. you have to "add" a chat [00:07] 1600x1200 [00:07] ubuntu: You can add channels to the main buddy list they are listed under the Chat heading as opposed to Buddy or whatever.

[00:08] loonyphoenix: karmic WILL BREAK [00:08] sebsebseb: really fast [00:08] cosmic_ka: If it is jailbroken you can install OpenSSH and transfer files over SSH. [00:08] loonyphoenix, yep , it still is in developement [00:08] ok, now back to my question >_> how can i get the Propriatary drivers to show up? [00:08] Drknezz: yep [00:08] sebsebseb: xD [00:08] ok.. now i see it.. thankyou [00:08] loonyphoenix: i always run ubuntu+1 on my laptop and things break quite regularly... that's half the fun [00:08] OK, I get it :) [00:08] ubuntu: main window, menu "Buddies", "Add a Chat" [00:08] usually it would be up on top right, but it's not there this time. [00:08] Drknezz: :d [00:08] cosmic_ka: But you should know that SSH file transfer to the iphone are extremely slow. [00:09] Trying to connect bluetooth gps antenna. Every attempt to communicate returns "invalid exchange". Please help? [00:09] is there any way to do it without the jailbreak? [00:09] Stralytic: Do vital things break for you, like Xorg etc?

[00:10] #Manaus [00:10] man that bites [00:10] no [00:10] loonyphoenix: yes, vital things break [00:10] there is 2.0 to 2.2 and i want to make sure its ubuntu 8.10 [00:11] cosmic_ka: Whether or not jailbreaking voids your warranty is debatable, but when you connect it, does it recognize it as a media device and show you the pictures you've taken with the camera? [00:11] It technically does void it if you take it in, but if you restore it, they will never know. [00:11] I'll try it again [00:11] loonyphoenix: vital things break less often closer to release date though [00:11] I don't know, I dunno what you're trying to do [00:11] does anyone know if ubuntu utlimate gamers edition 2.2 is ubuntu intrepid [00:12] based [00:12] how do you restore it? [00:12] cosmic_ka: Through iTunes. [00:12] How can I check what package sources don't have keys? [00:12] SHOOT, i accidently installed ubuntu with not enough space for updates, does anyone know how to resize the filesystem to be bigger? [00:12] can I install iTunes with wine? [00:12] cosmic_ka: You can't sync with the iPhone with iTunes in wine. [00:13] Does anyone know if theres a PPA package for Boost libraries? apt only has 1.35? [00:13] wweasel: do you know if ubuntu ultimate edition 2.2 is based off of ubuntu intrepid i know 2.0 is i just want to make sure my video will work [00:13] solexious|netbk: trying to add third party repos? [00:13] you can do it from gparted on the livecd [00:13] Xodiac13: I don't know anything about it. You ought to ask everyone, not me specifically. [00:13] test [00:13] VCoolio, I have in the past without adding they [00:13] wweasel: k do you know if you have to pay for it [00:13] cosmic_ka: In fact, the only way to sync with the iPhone from within Ubuntu would be to run a virtual machine in Virtual Box. [00:14] 2.2 is jaunty [00:14] Trying to connect bluetooth gps antenna. Every attempt to communicate returns "invalid exchange". Please help? Working on hardy server in console. [00:14] Xodiac13: it's Jaunty from 2.2+ (according to the website) [00:14] linny: and 2.0 is intrepid right cause i need that one [00:14] VCoolio, the keys, but as there all launch pad its hard working out the apt error telling me its missing keys [00:14] Xodiac13: Again, I don't know anything about your question. Please don't direct your questions directly to me - direct them to everyone, and someone who knows something about what you're taking about will respond. [00:14] Xodiac13: dunno 2.o isnt on thier website anymore [00:14] solexious|netbk: on launchpad they all have keys now [00:14] solexious|netbk: you need to import them [00:15] linny: do you know if you have to pay for it [00:15] guess I will try with vbox [00:15] Xodiac13: no oc not [00:15] its free [00:15] VCoolio, Yes, I know, my question was to tell if and what I do have keys for, and import those I dont [00:15] linny: k and is there a difference between 2.0 and 2.1 [00:15] cosmic_ka: This page will tell you what I've told you and more: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone [00:15] linny: 2.0 is a lot bigger than 2.1 [00:15] Xodiac13: all this info is on the website [00:16] boss_mc: can you please direct me to the site [00:16] solexious|netbk: right; there is a script on ubuntuforums that does that for you [00:16] Xodiac13: http://ultimateedition.info/ultimate-edition-2-3/ [00:16] Xodiac13: dunno i dont see a 2.1 on thier website either and that prolly means no longer supported you should install vanilla ubuntu [00:16] boss_mc: thank you [00:16] VCoolio, aaah, thats fab! [00:16] Xodiac13: google would have found it for you [00:16] linny: can you direct me to the vinalle ubuntu [00:17] boss_mc: sorry [00:17] Xodiac13: now your having a lol [00:17] Xodiac13: vanilla means plain [00:17] Xodiac13: so ubuntu.com does the job [00:17] hi all. anyone here running ubuntu and have issues with popping and crackling when using the audio output of hdmi ? [00:17] Xodiac13: try ubuntu.com ? [00:17] linny: i just want to try something different [00:17] hi, what's a good program to use to convert my home video dvd+r disks to quicktime? [00:18] Oh I never read this before. Is the ubuntu server edition essentially the same as desktop edition but has gnome stripped away? [00:18] That true? [00:18] Xodiac13: well these ultimate editions are only ubuntu with programs pre installed its all available in vanilla ubuntu [00:19] solexious|netbk: don't know where I found it, you may search ubuntuforums, but here it is: http://pastebin.com/f5c95f0de [00:19] linny: o oops lol i am downloading it right now i just want to see how it is, is it better performance and all [00:19] linuxguy2009: yeah no GUI, also a special server kernel [00:19] linuxguy2009: I don't think so, the server is way faster for my machine. [00:19] ultimate will likly be poorer as its more bloted [00:20] but its arugeable is suppose [00:20] linny Xodiac13 ultimate is not offical, so best to avoide it really [00:20] VCoolio, Thank you very much :) [00:20] sebsebseb: o uh is it any good though do you know [00:20] linny: more features are not neccessarily worse... === Odin is now known as Guest65106 [00:20] I am assuming http://linux.dell.com/files/ubuntu/jaunty/iso-images/ubuntu-9.04-dell-reinstall.iso would be the dell ISO? [00:21] sebsebseb:cooper77z: Hmm that gives me ideas. Ill have to check the size of the server iso and see if that will make for a better base for a custom ubuntu CD/DVD. If its a lt smaller then that leaves more room on disk for all the apps I want. sweet [00:21] linuxguy2009: while correct it doesnt have a DE it has extra software designed for servers if you want a base install wo a DE you should use the minimal cd [00:21] Xodiac13: I virtual machined loads of stuff can't remember if I did ultimate, did a few distros that were Ubuntu or Debian based though and such, better to use the proper ones though [00:21] ?what's a good program to use to convert my home video dvd+r disks to quicktime? [00:21] linny: Oh well thats even better. [00:21] cooper77z, mplayer [00:22] arand: i understand this but i was saying if he installs an old version of ultimate he gets no offical support if he installs ubuntu then the pacages he needs he does [00:22] yep this channl isn't for ultimate support [00:22] linny: The minimal CD isnt maintanied by canonical is it? Its 3rd party? [00:22] sebsebseb: does it still do updates though === hosified is now known as hosified|away [00:23] linuxguy2009: yes it is [00:23] sebsebseb, you could always pay for the real support :) [00:23] Name141: I think dell does not supply the exact iso they ship, because it includes things like flash etc. which due to licencing they can't distribute freely, the iso they keep for download is a version with all their mods but with the "non-free" stuff stripped away... [00:23] thanks binarymutant :) [00:23] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [00:23] Xodiac13: probably uses the Ubuntu repos or something similar, but better to use proper Ubuntu really [00:24] where can i get help with getting my applications button back on my panel? [00:24] sebsebseb: will i regret it lol [00:24] solexious|netbk: for reference and credits, and maybe it's updated: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1056099 [00:24] Xodiac13: you won't be entitled for Ultimate support in here, if you get ultimate [00:24] Xodiac13: this channal is for Ubuntu support, not distros that are based on it, as well [00:24] what is the different between .bash_profile, .profile and .bashrc ? [00:24] Is it possible (relativly easy) to switch from a fakeRAID setup (controlled by BIOS Intel Matrix Storage) to a dmraid setup controlled by Ubuntu without loosing everyone on my hard drives? [00:24] linny: Oh ok i remeber that one now. Thats like a network install CD. Not great IMO for a custom spinned CD. [00:24] sebsebseb: not good i am going to try it and if something happens im going straight back [00:25] Xodiac13: it's not worth it [00:25] Xodiac13: hang on a sec [00:25] linuxguy2009: call it what you like its ubuntu base install a nice clean base ideal for a custom build [00:25] linny: Isnt there stuff that it MUST download in order to install at all. [00:25] I'm using Webmin 1.480 on Ubuntu 8.04.3 Server and have tried to install a printer through the GUI (maybe not correctly set up) and connect to it from a laptop running 9.04. I tried going through the "error solver" in Printers, and here's the output after it failed: http://paste.ubuntu.com/244914/ [00:26] linny: Or am i mistaken? [00:26] any c++ programmers here? [00:26] linuxguy2009: youy know ive used it loads and i couldnt tell you 100% [00:26] Xodiac13: yep not really worth it, you can get most/all of it's programs in standard Ubuntu, also usaully it's better to use real Ubuntu rather than one of these distros that is based on it [00:26] i have a laptop running ubuntu 8.04 and I am selling it to someone. I have removed all my information from it, but want to give them my user setup. Long story short, how do I change my username? I went into users and groups but it does not let you chenge the users name in there [00:26] it would be pretty pointless if it did need networking [00:27] jacko9: #c++ I think and there's #proggramming [00:27] sebsebseb: dang [00:27] linny: Ok thats cool. Maybe Ill have to check it out. if it doesnt require absolutely that any packages MUST be downloaded to install then its perfect for this use. Thanks. [00:27] I tried out linuxmint but I did not like it at all [00:28] mhammer: yeah mint hmm [00:28] Xodiac13: well give it a try if you want, but your probably better off with standard Ubuntu really [00:28] sebsebseb: imo mint was much slower than ubuntu [00:28] jlaroche: define a new user and make sure he is a member of all the groups you belong to. That should give him all the permissions necessary [00:29] sebsebseb, you see, i would like to know if any C++ programmers prefer to program in ubuntu, rather than windows [00:29] sebsebseb: i have a question i keep having to go back to xp on my laptop i have ubuntu on my desktop but i cant get my video to work i am trying to find ubuntu version that will work with my laptop its fustrating im almost windows free [00:29] sebsebseb: what version of ubuntu will work with a radeon x1200 [00:29] Xodiac13: if we are recommending ubuntu derivatives my vote goes to crunchbanglinux [00:30] linny:? [00:30] Xodiac13: oh ati? [00:30] sebsebseb: yeah the desktop i am on now the video works great its a radeon x200 === z is now known as Guest7240 [00:30] Xodiac13: google crunchbanglinux [00:30] linny: k [00:30] 有人讲中文吗？ [00:31] Xodiac13: works where? in XP? [00:31] owen1: .bash_profile is executed for log-in shell only (when you login) while .bashrc is executed for every shell (when you open a new terminal window) [00:31] jacko9: of course :) === Hairybeetle is now known as Tetracomm [00:31] linny: uh what am i suppose to see it just keeps on saying something about drivers is it a distro [00:31] jacko9: Linux is the prefered platform for a lot of "proper" proggrammers [00:31] blaz_: thanks [00:32] sebsebseb: no i have a desktop that i am on now with ubuntu 8.10 and works great but i am trying to get it on my laptop with xp [00:32] where can i get help with getting my applications button back on my panel? [00:32] thor - its not about the permissions, its about the customizations. I don't have to have to remake all those customizations for a new user. It would seem that I should be able to change my current users name, but the field is greyed out [00:32] Xodiac13: oh right well this channal is not for Windows support go to ##windows for that, oh yeah and maybe get rid of XP from the lap top :) even better [00:32] sebsebseb: i cant get my video card working on the laptop it has a radeon x1200 [00:32] Xodiac13: i beg your pardon [00:32] hey [00:32] sebsebseb: no i mean what distro will support my card === Guest7240 is now known as loopye [00:33] SkiingPenguins: go in your applications menu and right click any app and you can add it to a panel [00:33] Xodiac13: every or none [00:33] but it isnt there to go in [00:33] linny: i really dont know what your talking about [00:33] !panels| SkiingPenguins [00:33] SkiingPenguins: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [00:33] SkiingPenguins: only apps or also places and system? [00:33] none of those [00:33] DaZ: ni e [00:33] SkiingPenguins: So your missing the applications, places and system menus? [00:33] yes [00:33] but the clock is still on it [00:33] SkiingPenguins: you need to right click the panel and add an applet and choose gnome menu bar [00:33] hello people [00:33] also the stuff on the bottom panel is gone so i have to use alt-tab === jon is now known as Guest40176 [00:34] SkiingPenguins: same as above only add window list [00:34] that is reasonable right?

[00:39] jondavis: ask away [00:39] linny: and they dont have the drivers for it [00:40] thanks, yall are lots of help :) [00:40] jondavis: you just go to the linux mint web site and download it.. then right click -> burn. normally [00:40] jondavis: if you are using ubuntu.. i would just learn ubuntu. and leave mint alone [00:40] i have tryd to brun a iso of linuxMint to a cd/dvd......and i am trying to run it on a ubuntu linux 9.04 [00:40] Xodiac13: ati do rls linux drivers for thier cards but they arnt as well developed as their windows counterparts im not sure about the drivers for older cards either [00:41] jondavis: you are not making sence.. did it burn sucesuffy? You dio realize you INSTLALL mint as you instlled ubuntu. its not a program. [00:41] linny: o okay thank you [00:41] i tryd to brune it to a vd [00:41] but i need linux mint [00:41] 7 === desti_T2 is now known as desti [00:42] jondavis: you need to start making more sence. Ubuntu should be able to burn an iso file to disk quite easially. [00:42] !iso [00:42] 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. [00:42] jondavis: what are you talking about? you can burn iso's in ubuntu [00:42] !burn [00:42] CD/DVD Burning software: K3b (KDE), gnomebaker, brasero, serpentine, graveman, Nautilus-CD-Burner, GToaster, xcdroast (GNOME), wodim (terminal-based). Burning .iso files: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto [00:42] jondavis: if you are using ubuntu now just click the iso and it will open brasereo then insert cd and presto [00:43] actually clicking on the iso MIGHT 'mount' it.. [00:43] i did [00:43] i right click and select burn. [00:43] but it is not working [00:43] jondavis: then clarify whats not working EXACTLY. [00:43] !enter | jondavis [00:43] jondavis: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [00:43] hi guys was just wondering if its possible to use an old pda as a monitor for ubuntu. look onlie but its sketchy [00:43] Dr_Willis: O :) i dont actully use gnome so i forget :) [00:43] is the burn not working, is the burnt disk not working... [00:44] i have burn a iso of linuxMint 7 to a cd but it is not working [00:44] on ubuntu linux 0.04 [00:45] jondavis, define not working [00:45] ok what exaxtly do you mean by not working ? [00:45] jondavis: clarify what you mean by not working.. You reboot the pc with the disk in the drive and it fails to boot properly? the fact you are on ubuntu seems to be irellavant. [00:45] yes i have [00:45] I'm using Webmin 1.480 on Ubuntu 8.04.3 Server and have tried to install a printer through the GUI (maybe not correctly set up) and connect to it from a laptop running 9.04. I tried going through the "error solver" in Printers, and here's the output after it failed: http://paste.ubuntu.com/244914/ [00:45] jondavis: 'yes i have' is not really an answer... [00:45] i have reboot [00:46] jondavis, dont use the enter key as punctuation. Put everything on ONE line. [00:46] try to make ubuntu linux into linux mint 7 [00:46] hi all, how do i remove rsa keys from known_hosts? [00:46] jondavis: is your boot sequence set to boot from cd ? [00:46] i did [00:46] jondavis: you DONT 'convert' ubuntu to linux mint.. You boot the mint cd and install linux mint. its a different operating system. [00:46] owen1: i must admit i don't understand it very well;) Usualy one logs in using GDM - not sure if .bash_profile is executed by GDM! [00:46] i know alll that [00:46] jondavis: if the mint cd is failing to boot - then it proberly gave some error messages. and you either 1) had a bad iso file. or 2) some sort of issue with the burn. [00:47] blaz_: np. i am using text-based login. [00:47] yes it did all that err [00:47] oh! me too [00:48] how can i format ubuntu linux.9.04 to linux mint 7 [00:48] jondavis: i tend to use unetbootin to put iso files on a bootable flash drive. makes for a faster install media. I would suggest checking the md5sum of the iso. and either reburn if its correct. or use unetbootin. [00:48] then [00:48] guys what backtrack channel named ? [00:48] jondavis: you dont 'format ubuntu' you format a filesystem. [00:48] jondavis: set your bios to boot from cd insert the cd and boot from it [00:48] jondavis, you can't. you need to install mint over it. please stop repeating the same question [00:48] \i dont know how i am a newbie to al this [00:49] mohd, #remote-exploit [00:49] thanks [00:49] jondavis: if you got ubuntu installed.. then i suggest you spend some time learning Ubuntu and linux basics. [00:49] jondavis: you gain very little by using 'mint' and techincally we DONT support mint in this channel. [00:50] ]ok so tell me what is better then [00:50] jondavis: use Ubuntu.. ive said that 3+ times now. [00:50] dont use mint. [00:50] :) [00:50] jondavis, please take chat to #ubuntu-offtopic ; dont take polls here [00:50] jondavis: there should be a mint channel to get help in [00:51] How does one sign a document with multiple sigs? I'm trying to follow http://www.debian-administration.org/users/dkg/weblog/48 [00:51] i was under the impression mint was a very good os [00:51] jondavis: ive used over 15 linux distros there is none better than ubuntu i promise [00:51] I'm having a problem installing 9.04 [00:51] i prefer polos to extra strong mints what does everyone else think ? [00:51] unless your looking for something very specific [00:52] dr_willis..then how do i learn a lot about ubuntu then.thing's like hacking ubuntu and a lot more [00:52] jondavis: read, read, read, read... hang out here.. and read.... [00:52] jondavis: giyf [00:52] Hey all [00:53] what is gify [00:53] jondavis: print out documments/articals, put them in the bathroom.. eat lots of fiber... [00:53] http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/ jondavis read that first [00:53] !details | kinata [00:53] kinata: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [00:53] but is 'hacked' ubuntu supported here?;) [00:53] jondavis: Google Is Your Friend [00:53] oh noes haxxors [00:54] jondavis: http://www.linuxtoday.com can be your friend [00:54] there are a lot of book that r not free [00:54] !training | jondavis [00:54] jondavis: documentation is to be found at http://help.ubuntu.com and http://wiki.ubuntu.com - General linux documentation: http://www.tldp.org - http://rute.2038bug.com [00:54] jondavis: so? theres lots of free books also... [00:54] jondavis, the book I linked you is free. please read it. [00:54] jondavis: so much more to Linux than just Ubuntu, so the site I just gave, is great [00:55] Thanks...upgrading from 8.10 to 9.04. Distribution Upgrade seems to be stalled at the last file, 1296 of 1296. It's been stalled there for ~two hours. [00:55] linuxcommand.org is good for command line basics [00:55] were would I go when having troubles with disc burning, brasero after upgraded to jaunty? [00:55] not where i can read all the books [00:56] was that a question or a statement? [00:56] i need to know everything about linux/ubuntu [00:57] jondavis: then you have to go read and learn... [00:57] so how can i install the ati driver if there's no /etc/X11/xorg.conf (in Kubuntu 9.04)? [00:57] jondavis: linux is one thing.. Ubuntu is a specific Linux disrtobution. [00:57] !linux | jondavis [00:57] jondavis: Linux is the kernel (core) of the Ubuntu operating system. Many operating systems use Linux as kernel. For more information on Linux in general, visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux [00:57] ceil420: what card do you have ? [00:58] linny, integrated HD 3200 [00:58] give me a site that has free all info .and also linux is linus/ubuntu [00:58] i got the driver, i just can't install it without an existing xorg.conf :x [00:58] jondavis, I gave you a link [00:58] i think you need to sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx [00:58] jondavis: no GNU/Linux yes :) [00:58] * ceil420 tries [00:59] Linus does have a rather large part in it I suppose [00:59] jondavis: you have been given some rather good links, check them out [00:59] cool [00:59] then do sudo aticonfig --initial )other options if necessary ) [00:59] bruce89: oh your in here :D [00:59] installing kernel stuff and i386 patch too :) [00:59] linny, cheers o/ [00:59] sebsebseb: not long now [00:59] wish i had a default xorg.conf to fall back on, though.. [00:59] i am unable to boot gnome [01:00] Pupuser402-1: but puppy works.. so you do have the system set to boot from cd Properly it seems? [01:00] Pupuser402-1: you mean your Installed ubuntu system fails to go TO gnome.. or the cd fails to boot? or the installer fails? [01:00] Unable to enumerate usb device on port 2 ? [01:00] linny, ceil@pandora:/etc/X11$ sudo aticonfig --initial [01:00] Warning: Could not find configuration file [01:00] :( [01:01] it's askin' me to copy configuration file template to /etc/X11 [01:01] ceil420: aticonfig --initial creates one and backs up the old one [01:01] Dr_Willis, Installed fine [01:01] Is there any way to force Synaptic to install a package despite it bitching about non-existant depedancies? [01:01] ubottu: Thanks...upgrading from 8.10 to 9.04. Distribution Upgrade seems to be stalled in Getting New Packages at the last file, 1296 of 1296. It's been ~two hours. [01:01] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [01:01] Pupuser402-1: try unpluging any extra usb gizmos you may have. ive seen that 'message' befor but my systems still booted. [01:01] linny, there is no old one, that's the problem [01:01] just create a blank one then [01:01] does anyone know how to make ubuntu's partition bigger? i have about 2.5gb of unallocated space. [01:01] Pupuser402-1: I recall a bluetooth dongle giving me an issue once on one machine. [01:01] linny, just touch xorg.conf? [01:01] that do it? [01:01] i tried using the live cd, but i couldnt make it bigger. [01:01] yea [01:01] raulh: use gparted [01:01] Dr_Willis, I only have keyboard and moude [01:01] raulh: boot live cd. use 'gparted' but BACKUP your imporntant data first [01:01] mouse [01:02] raulh! gparted! [01:02] linny, groovie, seems to've worked. gotta restart now, yeh? [01:02] no important data it's a new parition [01:02] raulh: you could just make a partition on the 2.5gb unallocated and use it as some storage area. [01:02] yea [01:02] no willis [01:02] i need to install updates on /root [01:02] ☮+♥ [01:02] theres 3mb of free space on ubuntu... so i can't even run firefox because the Cache crashes firefox. [01:02] Dr_Willis, I also disabled usb in the bios to test [01:02] raulh: some issues with resizing can be it can alter the UUID of the partition. Jot that down beforhand. Just in case. [01:03] raulh: boot live cd then andhave fun with gparted. [01:03] IT doesn't let me make it BIGGER. [01:03] it only let's me resize to make paritions smaller. === mohd is now known as outlife [01:04] were would I go when having troubles with disc burning, brasero after upgraded to jaunty? what channel? [01:04] raulh: thats proberly due to how your partitions are laid out. If you have unallocated space thats sevarl partitions away - you have to do some moveing/resizing of the in between partitions. [01:04] Starpilot this one [01:05] raulh: also you can only have 4 primaries.. and if trying to get space from a 'extended' to a primary - it can also be tricky [01:05] it's and extended parition yea.. [01:05] it's just that i can't delete that extended because if i do, winows xp will SURELY be deleted from grub loader. [01:05] which i dont want :$ [01:05] does anyone know if it's true that banshee will replace rythmbox in the next version of ubuntu? imo this would be a big mistake [01:05] ok but you guys look way too busey. I'll try another time. thanks [01:06] I'm having a problem with sound. When ever I listen to any music (on any media player) or watch any video (even youtube) the sound starts to skip and jump around. What would cause this, and how could I fix it? [01:06] also how do i unmount paritions higher then "6" [01:06] it keeps telling me that. [01:08] hay peeps anyone familiar with tv card install? [01:08] raulh: i normally use a live cd - that way everything is unmounted allready [01:08] it's not. [01:09] Willis: i did use the live cd, and it told me i needed to unmount it. [01:09] !unmount [01:09] Sorry, I don't know anything about unmount [01:09] is there a way to resize the partition to dual boot Vista without an Ubuntu LiveCD or bootable USB? [01:10] not on windows.. [01:10] raulh: umount /dev/path_to_device_here ? [01:10] ok i was using unmount, thanks trism [01:10] im on ubuntu 9.04 and i want to dual boot windows vista [01:11] hey guys how do i set up a multi-monitor system [01:11] "please unmount any logical paritions having a higher number then 6" [01:11] moose55: vista can resize ntfs partitions.. it does a better job of it then Ubuntu does. [01:11] raulh: and what was the umount command you used? what does mount show mounted? You are really MUCH better off using this tool from a live cd. [01:11] any help getting flash 64bit to work on ubuntu... [01:11] but the vista doesnt allow you to resize with the installations cd [01:12] I AM ON A LIVE CD [01:12] I TOLD YOU THAT OVER 4 TIMES ALREADY [01:12] raulh: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:12] raulh: then what does mount show mounted? you must of mounted some things. [01:12] i didnt mount anything [01:12] Hmm.. perhaps the swap file is in use.. [01:13] is there any way to get nice framebuffer consoles like arch or zenwalk? [01:13] i like having the logo at the top [01:13] echosystm: yes.. and they are more of a hassle then they are worth. :) [01:13] and then the buffer cleared once its ready for login [01:13] oh? [01:13] i turned the swap off, so that couldnt be it.. [01:13] whys that Dr_Willis [01:14] !paste [01:14] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic [01:14] echosystm: they can slow down the console., they can cause issues with getting TO the console when they conflict with various X drivers.. and really now a days not many people even use the console. [01:14] http://paste.ubuntu.com/244995/ [01:14] so you rarely even see the fancyness [01:14] !framebuffer | echosystm [01:14] echosystm: Information about changing your framebuffer modes in GRUB can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FrameBuffer#grub [01:14] is it ok ? [01:15] The start page for firefox shows a Google search box, but when you search it doesnt show Google results. For example, if you go to google.com and search "dell stock" the first result is from google showing the trend and closing price. But if you search it from the Google box on the ubuntu start page, the first result is from moneycenteral.msn.com (is there a way to change the functionality of the ubuntu start page? [01:16] http://paste.ubuntu.com/244995/ [01:16] anyone? [01:16] WIGGMPk1: Why not just use the search box in the corner? [01:17] hello, I have a NAS HDD which I used to access via Network - Windows Network. Is there any other way to access the files? I think it used something called samba [01:17] trism: thats definitely an option.. and it works well. but im still curious about the original question.. [01:17] why not just set your start page to be google :) [01:18] google targeting differnt searchs for different 'start pages' [01:18] WIGGMPk1: I always immediately change my start page, so I wouldn't even know how to get back there [01:18] !spanish [01:18] 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. [01:18] http://paste.ubuntu.com/244995/ [01:18] trism: well it does have a 'reset to defaults' button in firefox.. I like the ubuntu start page.. I think its pretty sleek [01:18] !UUID [01:18] To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [01:19] is there anything I can use in Ubuntu to pull pictures off a Blackberry Curve 8330 CDMA? [01:21] WIGGMPk1: right, well, I checked it and it just makes a request to google's custom search engine [01:21] WIGGMPk1: I suppose you could always make your own if you wanted [01:22] NetEcho: email them to yourself? [01:22] Dr_Willis, I unplugged all usb and same error ,,unable to boot at all [01:22] kerm|t I can't get to the pictures when I hook up the blackberry, its my uncle's whos in town for my sister's wedding and we're trying to pull a whole whack of pics off it [01:22] does anyone know of a good windows file shredder [01:23] Pupuser402-1: is this a laptop or desktop? its possible you may need some boot options.. and its also possible its crashing just after that 'usb' message..and that message is not imporntant. [01:23] trism: make your own? [01:23] Dr_Willis, Its a p4 desktop [01:23] .server irc.lightning.net [01:24] trism: im not sure I follow ya [01:24] what is the command to rerun config for xserver when you've changed monitors or video cards? [01:24] WIGGMPk1: http://www.google.com/coop/cse ...all the ubuntu start page does it make a request to their own created there [01:24] X -configure is how i do it [01:24] then find the ~/xorg.conf.new [01:25] and rename that into etc/X11 [01:25] do as root [01:25] * WIGGMPk1 sighs [01:25] WIGGMPk1: personally I would just make my homepage google, less hassle [01:25] Quiznos: Fatal error Server is already active [01:26] yea, gotta stop it to conf it [01:26] Quiznos : reboot? [01:26] no [01:26] what's your current runlevel? [01:26] trism: thanks for the info.. Ill investigate this option.. I understand the google homepage or google toolbar, but I have some serious OCD lol. I appreciate your time [01:27] Quiznos: how can I find my current runlevel?

I don't thing I can switch to tty1 [01:28] heh tagline [01:28] i have the alternate cd Flannel [01:28] echosystm: You choose it from the f5 menu (or f6?) [01:28] echosystm: Then you can install a command-line system [01:29] ubuntu-9.04-alternate-i386.iso [01:29] dthacker see if you have irssi or BitchX [01:29] ok [01:29] Quiznos: I'm using xchat [01:29] does anyone know of a good data file shredder [01:29] echosystm: They removed it from the main menu because "install from the command line" and "install a command line system" are too close of verbage [01:29] psywiped: shred [01:29] dthacker yea but x11 has to be stopped so you wont be able to use xchat [01:29] psywiped: (you already have it) [01:29] ok [01:29] Quiznos: it's ok, irc is on another machine [01:29] thanks [01:29] dthacker ah good; contiuing; [01:30] I'm using Webmin 1.480 on Ubuntu 8.04.3 Server and have tried to install a printer through the GUI (maybe not correctly set up) and connect to it from a laptop running 9.04.

[01:33] josh:search your win pc in network places [01:33] Dr_Willis: I can't access it. If it's on server-ip:631 it won't connect [01:33] Flannel: should they be? [01:33] reya2761: Then that's why. 770 means that group, and owner have read, write, execute permissions, and everyone else can't do anything. [01:33] and access the folders [01:33] reya2761: Well, you don't want the execute bit set on regular files to begin with. [01:33] what is command to correct display problem - is stuck at 800 X 400 [01:34] i know samba is installed, but is there like a samba icon i can open up to edit configurations? or can i onoy do it with a gedit thing? [01:34] Flannel: ah ok but then others like regular user will be able to see it through their web browsers right [01:34] no [01:34] right [01:34] reya2761: And through the filesystem itself, yes. [01:34] Quiznos: ps -ef | grep xdg returns nothing [01:34] dthacker ok; which server is running? [01:34] dthacker that was a regex for you [01:34] does ubuntu mount with noatime by default? [01:34] reya2761: If you want to prohibit them from reading through the filesystem, and keep it so they can only read it through the browser, you wwant to make them owned (or at least group) of www-data [01:35] dthacker ps fax | grep -i 'x11|xorg' [01:35] Flannel: ok so it should be sudo chgrp -R www-data /var/www/ right? [01:35] reya2761: Sure [01:35] echosystm: judging by my fstab, no [01:36] reya2761: and I'll repeat for emphasis: you don't want regular files to be +x, only the directories (for setting this recursively, see +X (not +x) in chmod) [01:36] Quiznos: /usr/X11R6/bin [01:36] ok [01:36] Flannel i did ask that first but no one answered [01:36] my monitor won't display anything higher than 800 X 600, how do I correct this? [01:36] dthacker that's the dir, not the server name [01:36] dthacker join #Flude and dump the output from ps fax there [01:37] BlasenMich: only 800x600 listed in System/Preferences/Display ? [01:37] yes [01:37] Quiznos: I don't have chat configured on the machine I'm working on. Let me get a tty going [01:37] psywiped: Well, you should be asking about non-ubuntu things in #ubuntu-offtopic, this channel is just for Ubuntu support. [01:37] Flannel: don't get it, so you mean X= execute? [01:37] OttifantSir: you may to edit the cups config to allow remote admin. or just ssh -X into the remote vox and run a browser locally. of course you could ssh in and run the gnome cups manager tool [01:37] it will go lower, but not what I want [01:37] BlasenMich: do you have the right drivers for your card installed? [01:38] just used the default [01:38] Flannel: Does 770 have execute permissions? [01:38] reya2761: If you want to add group execute to things like folders recursively, you only want them set on things that already have them set for the owner (not regular files, just the directories) you can use g+X in chmod to do so (which is different than g+x) [01:38] reya2761: Yes. [01:38] accident [01:38] reya2761: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [01:38] someone once gave me a line for the command line to correct [01:38] Dr_Willis: Can I use the Gnome CUPS manager on a headless server?

[01:41] OttifantSir: you ssh in , then you run whatever commands you want.. nothign to do with your 'menus' at that point [01:41] OttifantSir: no, ssh -X then run `system-config-printer` [01:41] OttifantSir: thats IF you have the tools installed.. which is proberly not on a default server setup [01:41] i was trying to change my username via instructions found on this website http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4968235 but now I am receiving a User's $HOME/.dmrc file is being ignored error.

[01:44] Dr_Willis - it won't let me log in, that error message is followed by a "Your session only lasted less than 10 seconds. Iff you have not logged out yourself, this could mean that there is some installation problem or that you may be out of diskspace. Try loggin in with one of the failsafe sessions to see if you can fix this problem." [01:44] Dr_Willis - it then goes back to the login screen [01:44] jlaroche: if that file is the problem. login at the alt-ctrl-f1 consoles and delete it. [01:45] just anyting in the states is made diferent for DVD you cant watch them if you dont have restricted software install [01:45] jlaroche: then alt-ctrl-f7 to get back to the login screen.. its possible you got some other permissions issues going on. [01:45] dio_: 'in the states' ? hmm.. never noticed.. I think that applies to other countries as well.. ubuntu keeps the restricted stuff... restricted.. [01:46] dio_: install the decss stuff if you want i guess [01:46] Dr_Willis - how do i change permissions to a folder in shell so that I have full permission over it [01:46] but dvd from europe work perfect [01:46] dio_: ive never seen/heard of different ubuntu releases from different countries.. [01:47] how do i fully uninstall and remove everything to do with beryl? [01:47] and the dvd factoids dont mention that from what ive seen... [01:47] how do you change a users root directory [01:47] dvdrip is just a fancy script thats a front end to other tools. i recall... [01:47] no region1 dvd in the states encrypted [01:47] B1OS: beryl? or compiz? [01:48] Dr_Willis: beryll [01:48] *beryl [01:48] dio_: never noticed.. i pop in dvd's and rip them to avi.. then put them back in their cases and safely away.. do what you want I guess... [01:48] B1OS: how did you install beryl stuff anyway? [01:48] let my try dvdrip [01:48] Dr_Willis: It would seem something isn't right with apt-get on the server, perhaps it's Webmin interfering. I don't know. I can do apt-get update, but not install or upgrade. [01:49] Dr_Willis: apt-get if i remember correctly [01:49] !dvdcopy [01:49] Sorry, I don't know anything about dvdcopy [01:49] BRB [01:49] how come i cannot write or config the xorg.conf file? [01:49] i try to save the X confiuration file [01:49] or aptitude [01:49] and it wont let me [01:49] OttifantSir: thats may be a little harder to troubleshoot then. webmin is really somthing you should get away from.. [01:50] EvilPenguin|: did u sudo? [01:50] where can I find a driver for a SAMSUNG 900 DF monitor? [01:50] B1OS: theres no beryl stuff in the repos that i knwo of.. its been merged into compiz. so what did you install exactly? perhaps theres some confiusion going on.

[01:52] Dr_Willis: Any suggestions on a GUI to manage a server, except ebox and webmin? ebox is even worse than Webmin is, and I'm not well versed in all command line performance, so.... without something graphical to start on, I'm basically going to have install a full desktop, and that's not what I want to do. [01:52] my resolv.conf file got corruptted so how do i fix it as my server is not resolving any hostname [01:52] cool htanks Dr [01:52] OttifantSir: learn the command line.. just do it.. :) or install a desktopp and use vnc/xming/ i guess [01:53] simonzill: check your PM please [01:53] !ebox [01:53] ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server.

[02:12] and more [02:12] hotguy300: hacking??? [02:12] Echo: That's fairly easy. Look up into your help files. If you see it written in english, your language is english. If it's all crazy moonspeak, it's other. ^.^ [02:12] not cracking [02:12] DeathMetalDean: that means you got a bad download, the tar is not intact [02:12] hotguy300: hacking as in proggramming ok [02:12] hacking as in program creation? [02:12] nickrud: yes i can reboot the server n get it back online [02:12] rightsprocket: version doesn´t depend of procesor but on ram I use 32 bit version on amd 64 [02:12] th0r: but i made the file. [02:13] Dr_Willis - i changed my username but apparently my new username is linked to my old username's home folder. I want the new homefolder to be the same as the new username [02:13] th0r: and sent it between laptops using giver [02:13] haagar: 'hacking' is a meaningless term now a days.. (it means too many diffent things to different people to have any real meaning) :) [02:13] Tom: Lucky! I only get sound out of the right side of my speakers. Really irritating, considering I'm a media nut, and without the ability to listen to music... bleh [02:13] open source hacking [02:13] hotguy300: this isn't really a channal for your kind of questions, feel free to pm me [02:13] DeathMetalDean: ok [02:13] can i use my windows based pc to download the fbset onto a flash drive and install it that way into ubuntu? [02:13] so when you reboot you're fine, as I read that. What causes it to stop resolving, or what happens about the same time [02:13] jlaroche: how did you change your username? and why. [02:13] Dr Kirre: I know what you mean.... [02:13] hotguy300: Ubuntu can do a lot, but it's not fair on other users, to babble on about what it can and cannot do in here [02:13] nickrud: is it ok if i get to u in pvt plz [02:13] I am trying to backup my home directory to a tar file on a DVD-RAM. The computer keeps trying to write faster than is possible to this medium and I kept having to manually re-continue the process. Still, it seemed to be working OK, but now the file has an Unexpected EOF in it for some reason. Can I fix this? It'd be okay to just chop off the offending data... [02:14] jlaroche: sudo mkdir /home/newusername and 'sudo chown username.username /home/username 'it to be owned by the new user for starters i guess.. [02:14] sigh.... Dr_Willis - i changed my username using the methods outlined here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4968235 [02:14] Van Canto is meant to be heard in stereo darnit! Alas, such [02:14] pioneer dvr-117 dvd burner not working on 9.04 [02:14] good... thank you [02:14] ...why does that keep happening? === Cream is now known as Cream|GONE [02:14] th0r: shud i try making it a zip file or something and sending it? [02:14] DiViN3, better to stay in main line, mostly because I am rusty as all get out. Haven't been doing much but running linux the last few months, not troubleshooting anything and extra eyes are always wise [02:14] I am just hoping someone can help me. [02:15] jlaroche: i hope you properly changed the commands to be the new/old users names.. and not 's_old_newg' like the examples show [02:15] nickrud: ok but kindly tell me in step by step for wat i should do [02:15] jlaroche, Dr_Willis: if you're already using the old home, all you have to do is modify names, not permissions, log in to the recovery console, usermod it to change the home, and mv the folder. [02:15] what are the channels name for help with ubuntu on the ps3 im sitting here with a 500 buck brick as it wont get on the internet and it got really big black borders and cant even get back into the ps3 os so its a brick [02:15] DiViN3, first: when you reboot everything is fine, yes? [02:16] nickrud: yes i can login via ssh & webmin [02:16] Flannel: if he has an existing home.. im not sure what all commands hes done. but the url he gave just alters /etc/passwd and /etc/groups [02:16] Flannel - i can get in my system again [02:16] DiViN3, that's not the question I'm asking. Your server can resolve addresses after a reboot? [02:16] Oh wait there it uses usermod :) [02:17] nickrud: no [02:17] i just want to have the new username correspond to the home folder [02:17] ok, we're getting somwhere :) === kaie is now known as Guest92971 [02:17] jlaroche: look in /home/ the users directory does exist? thats one thing to check. [02:17] Im having trouble running the following code http://paste.ubuntu.com/245076/ [02:17] how does your server get it's network address? dhcp? static? [02:17] im trying to edit and save a ect/.conf file and its saying i dont have the permissions , what do i need to do [02:17] Im getting No such file or directory [02:17] ??? anyone any idea? [02:18] Dr_Willis: when i run "wget -q -O - http://linux.dell.com/repo/firmware/bootstrap.cgi | bash" it keeps trying to connect to the beryl project and slowing things down and i need to get rid of it [02:18] jlaroche: if it exists thats step 1 done.. Now to double check /etc/passwd and /etc/group and /etc/shadow is the next thing. [02:18] in /home/ my old username is there and my username is not that name anymore [02:18] anyone know if any irc channels offer help for the ps3 version of ubuntu? [02:18] nickrud: its a dedi server with 64 ips so i have no idea if its a static or dhcp [02:18] B1OS: no idea on that. Beryl hasent been in ubuntu for a long time. as far as i know beryl is dead. [02:18] in /etc/passwd my home dir is linked to my old username's home dir [02:18] so it's a remote server you're renting from someone [02:18] nickrud: is ther any way to find out [02:19] jlaroche: so there is no /home/CURRENTUSERNAME ? [02:19] nickrud: yes [02:19] right [02:19] so i could try: sudo aptitude remove beryl beryl-core beryl-manager beryl-plugins beryl-plugin-data beryl-settings beryl-setting-bindings libberyldecoration0 libberylsettings0 libemeraldengine0 [02:19] jlaroche: but you have sort of 'half way' switched to the new username? you are logged in as the new username? [02:19] where are daemons set in ubuntu? [02:19] in etc/group everything is the new username [02:19] DiViN3, put a copy of /etc/network/interfaces on a pastebin. That's the file that describes how your networking is set up [02:20] hi, running a netbook with jaunty nbr and external monitor, i can't get it to mirror the screen at a resolution other than 800x600. any ideas? [02:20] jlaroche: so make a /home/newusername dir and make it owned by that user perhaps? if im understanding you right. [02:20] any monitor gurus in the house? [02:20] in shadow the name is my new username [02:20] jlaroche: so all the /etc/ Files check out.. just no /home/NewUserName directory? [02:20] sika hi [02:20] and then go into users and groups and switch the home dir to that new dir? [02:21] right [02:21] enta fin ya ragil , git ml bld emta [02:21] (Howdy guys) [02:21] jlaroche,Dr_Willis: mv it from the recovery console. And then use usermod to switch where the OS is looking for the homedir, then init 2 and login. [02:21] jlaroche: I would just make the new users home dir by hand (with sudo mkdir, and sudo chown whatever) and then copy all the old files from the old users dir over.. and fix their permissions.. or do like Flannel says. [02:21] unreal [02:22] all this work to change a username [02:22] jlaroche: i always just add a new user. :) then move stuff over... [02:22] I need some directions to the Sessions Preferences Tool. [02:22] this is crazy! [02:22] nickrud: i have sent the pastebin to ur pvt [02:22] jlaroche: Im betting you did one of those commands wrong in the url you gave. [02:22] jlaroche: It's not a whole lot of work. Four commands or something. [02:22] jlaroche: the usermod -d /home/new -m old command SHOULD of made the new home dir.. [02:22] Flannel: exactly 4 commands from the url he gave... [02:22] anyone? where do i specify what daemons to load on startup? [02:23] google is giving me sweet fa [02:23] !bum | echosystm [02:23] echosystm: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto [02:23] I never can rember update-rc.d command.. its so.. oddly named. :) [02:23] ok, DiViN3 that looks good. run aptitude search resolvconf to see if the package is installed. You should only get one line back, paste just the one line here. [02:23] how do i dual boot with windows on a separate hard drive? [02:24] buckwild: have the proper entry for the windows disk in menu.lst [02:24] nickrud: nothing popup [02:24] buckwild: thats how i do it all the time.. OR i just tell the bios to boot the windows drive.. and bypass grub totally [02:24] DiViN3, you sure you spelled resolvconf correctly? no e? [02:24] nickrud: i copy n pasted wat you gave [02:25] dr_willis: How do i do the entry in menu.lst? [02:25] Dr_Willis: Anyway to change the voice of festival guy :\ [02:25] buckwild: i edit my /boot/grub/menu.lst by hand. it has an example in the start of the file for a windows install on the first hard drive. [02:25] buckwild: backup your original. [02:25] that's not good. resolvconf is the package that sets up your nameserver correctly. it should be installed, and if not it should be available if your sources are set up correctly. [02:25] Joelito: this is linux.. the thing proberly has 1000 settings.. Ive no idea what/where. :) id have to read teh docs. [02:25] I'll try that thx dr. willis [02:26] Dr_Willis: ok, will do [02:26] DiViN3, run sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude search resolvconf (on the server) [02:26] arand: OK , but will it be exactly like the ISO when I add the "non-free" stuff?

[02:28] thats crazy :/ [02:28] echosystm, depends on the daemon [02:29] hal and fam [02:29] echosystm: you could learn the init system.. and those should be set up by default when you install them. [02:29] echosystm, those are daemons, yes. [02:29] oh [02:29] and init is the system that loads daemons [02:29] ok [02:29] hal starts when X starts up I thoght.. or am i confused...

[03:06] thank you so much [03:06] blognewb: A is record to IP, CNAME is record to fully-qualified domain name [03:06] A would be example.com pointing to 1.2.3.4 [03:06] CNAME would be www.example.com pointing to example.com [03:07] last 2 lines @blognewb [03:07] By default it is /var/www I believe banditos. You should read the lighttpd configuration guide - It will be much clearer then I can ever be. [03:07] I've got a quick question: What's the easiest way to get GDM to run in VNC? I'm setting up a GUI Xen VM on my server.

[03:09] where is the gimp directory located in ubuntu [03:09] or how do i install new fonts for it [03:09] hmmm... im trying to reinstall ubuntu via flash drive with the appropriate reinstallation iso from dell (for a dell mini 9 netbook) and when it goes to erase and create the partition, it spams the screen with "Failed to partition the selected disk: This probably happened because the selected disk or free space is too small to be automatically partitioned." and im not sure what to try next, should i try and format the drive first via recove [03:09] !fonts | ocd [03:09] ocd: Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11".

[03:10] GIMP reads it's fonts from the system's loaded fonts [03:10] ocd: You install them to Linux, read the wiki page. [03:10] styol: [03:10] :P [03:10] make: what are you trying ot change? [03:11] vi /etc/passwd... [03:11] make: No, no, why are you trying to edit that file? What do you want to change in your system? [03:11] guys no one knows about this problem? -> this file has been encumbered with drm encryption , it will not play in mplayer [03:11] make: remember to be superuser, (sudo vi /etc/passwd) [03:11] make: you shouldn't really need to hand-edit /etc/passwd, as it can hose your users and in turn your system if anything fails catastrophically [03:11] make: but you shouldn't need to edit it [03:11] boss_mc: There's no reason to hand-edit passwd [03:11] o...thank... [03:12] make: No, stop. What are you trying to change in your passwd file? there are better, safer, faster, easier ways to do it.

[03:12] wolf23: no promises, just an idea [03:13] oh snap, just realized i came in here for help [03:13] how bad of idea is it, to start installing packages from karmic? [03:13] Lunis, there is many, but i dont know how :( [03:14] danl: karmic WILL BREAK, especially in conjunction with jaunty [03:14] Flannel: could you help me plz [03:14] can i listen muzic to a bluetooth handsfree device? [03:14] danl: Are you upgrading to karmic? or what packages are you hoping to install? [03:14] i need to automagically downgrade any packages that are higher versions than what's available in the repos [03:14] Lunis: are there a lot? [03:14] boss_mc: but i need libstdc++6 4.4 or higher [03:14] Lunis: I don't know of an automatic way to do it, but you can use your apt_preferences to force them to downgrade easily enough. [03:15] danl: That's not going to be a happy backport. [03:15] Flannel: i have problems geting hostnames resolving in my server...any idea of solving it [03:15] danl: i used it to install bleeding-edge Empathy, and it worked ok. 'course now i have a few packages i want back to an older version [03:15] hello, playing with dual display for a laptop in gnome, how can i make the panels stick to a specific screen, as it has chosen the external monitor [03:15] Lunis: you can do it in synaptic too (package->force version) [03:16] well i'm hoping for something that can at least sort out what _is_ still higher version that latest in repos [03:16] libstdc++6 4.4 package says it needs gcc 4.4 which means a lot is going to have to change [03:16] when i try to access a shared folder on ubuntu from another machine, i am asked for a username and password. what username is it looking for?? i have tried everything and i even have "allow guest" enabled [03:16] gparted stalls on scan. Checking the logs, I notice Buffer I/O errors on dev sda -> What should I do? [03:16] tame: Via samba? === franck_ is now known as franckz [03:17] tame: have you defined a samba password (smbpasswd) [03:17] have not defined a samba password [03:17] there was nothing about that in the setup [03:17] Flannel, remember DiViN3 's dns problem? I've ssh'd in and ensured that interfaces was set up correctly, that resolv.conf was properly filled out by resolvconf when networking is started, but still no dns. Any suggestions? [03:18] that's what I get paid the big bucks for [03:18] danl: you could try to compile it yourself but I think you'll struggle... [03:18] all this for znc :( [03:18] danl: or install karmic in a virtual machine for testing [03:18] th0r, havent setup samba password. wasnt aware i had to do so [03:19] tame: might want to give it a shot [03:19] nickrud, DiViN3: No idea, sorry. [03:19] th0r, is there info about how to do this? [03:19] nickrud, DiViN3: does it work on a liveCD? (Or some other machine? can we verify it's a problem on his computer, and not elsewhere?)

[03:21] I wanted to ask if apache tomcat will work without having to install apache2 [03:22] tomcat is seperate from apache2 [03:22] separate rather [03:22] Flannel: its not on livecd [03:22] where can i download fbset at? [03:22] DiViN3: It's not a problem on the liveCD? interesting. [03:23] My question is what is best to run as a developmental webserver for php [03:23] DiViN3: What differences to those files are on the livecd/your install?

It all looks like it ran successfully, signatures and all, but I don't see anything on my PPA page.

[03:27] jdu, do you know what the best way is to set up hal for pwoer management? [03:27] Senesence: ok [03:27] echosystm, no. What type of power management, though? [03:28] i just want to be able to restart/shutdown from xfce [03:28] nothing else [03:28] even when i run xfce as root, hal returns "no" [03:28] are there any gui tools for setting up nfs shares in ubuntu desktop 9.04?

[03:32] thug4life: run `sudo apt-get update` in a terminal, and then copy/paste the output to http://paste.ubuntu.com/ , hit submit, and give us the URL [03:33] ok so i have to have the internet connected to my linux for that to work? [03:33] hi folks; i got rid of my task bar on the bottom and when i try to add it back theres nothing there; what should i do now? [03:33] right click on it [03:33] there are a bunch of things you can add to it [03:33] echosystm, have you seen http://www.xfce.org/documentation/4.2/manuals/xfce4-session the Shutdown/reboot section [03:34] Keep receiving a pop-up of electricsheep needs updateing, but go to site and only see Intrepid & Hardy and how do I upgrade electricsheep?

Which version of Ubuntu is this? [03:37] hey guys, anyone know about getting the nvidia 8600GTS working on ubuntu??? [03:37] thug4life: fbset is on the CD, so stick the CD in, sudo apt-cdrom add, and then sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install fbset [03:37] Flannel: 9.04 i wanna switch the resolution cause im running this on a 51 inch hdtv but using the rca cables [03:37] How can I determine the overall state of my hard disk (what's its average remaining lifespan, for example)? [03:38] senesence: lifespan... i wasn't aware hard disk's had a life span.. [03:38] raulh: Neither was I, but that's what I have been told. They don't? [03:39] Lunis, are u there? [03:39] ive had a hdd for about 16 years lol. [03:39] wolf23: i am now :) what's up? [03:39] does anyone know if there was a recent samba update for ubuntu?

[03:41] and there is Extract your license keys. You can do this with drmdbg <-- where should i find this? [03:41] wolf23: no clue. give me one second [03:41] Samba recently stopped working on my setup where it recently worked. Can someone help me with this? [03:42] so does anyone have a clue about 8600GTS drivers for ubuntu? [03:42] my guess is install them [03:43] jdu: What's the package name? [03:43] blaaaaaa, anyone :(?

[03:44] raulh have you google searched "ubuntu 8600GTS" ? [03:44] yes [03:45] and nothing there works? [03:45] there's nothing on the 8600 series. [03:45] hey [03:45] does anybody know how to add another network interface [03:45] Flannel it still didnt find that package [03:46] i am also on hardy.. [03:47] thug4life: odd. Well, the package is on the CD, so if nothing else, you can just go grab it. Do you have the CD listed in /etc/apt/sources.list? (and not commented?)

[03:48] Flannel: it said the ect folder couldnt be found it may been recently deleted how its on a cd r [03:48] no [03:48] perhaps i should [03:48] thug4life: Erm. If the /etc folder is deleted, something is wrong with your install. [03:48] styol, im going to try sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx, before i try anything else, but first i'm gunna let the update finish up. [03:48] thug4life: I suggest reinstalling. [03:48] Lunis, oh you dont know about the site i gave you now? [03:49] hey, how do i mount a SMB share so i can access it with exaile? [03:49] KE7TMA: it would give you a chance to experiment and work out the details before trying to define it in /etc/networks [03:49] raulh alrightie [03:49] right [03:49] :( I can't get the Darklooks theme to "stick" in 8.10, anyone? [03:49] KE7TMA: did you sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart ? [03:49] no [03:49] skypilot: fusesmb? [03:49] Flannel: i just got done installing it bout 2 hours ago [03:49] i rebooted [03:49] th0r, thanks, checking it out now [03:49] wolf23: basic idea is that you need to do it from windows, that's the best that i can gather...and i'm also busy now, sorry [03:49] KE7TMA: start with auto eth0:0 for the first alias [03:50] ahhhhhhhh [03:50] thug4life: How'd you delete /etc in that time then? [03:50] ok [03:50] now [03:50] lunis yes i have windows xp open now, just tell me what does mean this --> Extract your license keys. You can do this with drmdbg [03:50] !enter KE7TMA [03:50] Sorry, I don't know anything about enter KE7TMA [03:50] Flannel: i didnt delete it it saying its not on the cd-r [03:50] !enter | KE7TMA [03:50] KE7TMA: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [03:50] thug4life: right, /etc/apt/sources.list is on your harddrive, on your install. [03:50] i must say "auto eth0:0" even if is going to be manually configured? [03:50] wolf23: i have no clue [03:51] KE7TMA: and don't forget auto eth0:0 if you want it on the reboot [03:51] yeah [03:51] KE7TMA: this is all very faq and doc on googl [03:51] Flannel: on the cd-r there is a ect folder but when i click on it it says it was deleted but u cant delete stuff off a cd-r its impossible [03:51] yeah [03:51] i read the faq and doc on googl [03:52] didn't work [03:52] thug4life: You don't care about the etc folder on the CDr, we just want the one on your harddrive. [03:52] mine works [03:52] wolf23: I thought Windows support was off topic in here [03:52] I cannot launch any Open Office apps, either from the Applications menu or the terminal window (which creates processes but has no visible effect on screen). Please help. [03:52] Anyone else having issues with themes not applying properly?

[03:53] Lunis: yeah what's he doing braking DRM? [03:53] I would like to know how to open .pyc and .so files. [03:53] thug4life: less /etc/apt/sources.list [03:54] sebsebseb: does it really matter? [03:54] well [03:54] i pasted my network setup into the paste.ubuntu site [03:54] Lunis: i'll take that as a yes then [03:54] Flannel: do i type that in the ternmail window? [03:54] how do I compile c++ programs? [03:54] thug4life: yeah [03:54] for windows [03:54] g_: Try ##C++ [03:54] the config looks good, but an "ifconfig" does not show the interface as being up [03:55] do modules in ubuntu usually auto load? [03:55] thug4life: Places>fileSyatem [03:55] file system [03:55] sebsebseb: your question was confusing, sorry. yes, he's trying to remove DRM to watch videos (i believe) from Ubuntu [03:55] Flannel: oh ok i was looking for something like my computer that lists the drives or ubuntus version of my computer i didnt know it didnt have one [03:55] link? [03:55] g_: /join ##C++ [03:56] is it normal to get longer battery life in windows xp than ubuntu? [03:56] Flannel [03:57] sorry [03:57] libtech: battery life doesn't really have anything to do with XP vs. Ubuntu, it's a matter of what you have running on either OS [03:57] Lunis: braking DRM hmm [03:57] sebsebseb: pretty sure you mean "breaking" :) [03:57] Flannel: it says after i typed less /ect/apt/sources.list it says no such directy found [03:57] thug4life: it's /etc not /ect [03:57] Lunis: sure, and I am pretty sure that DRM isn't really meant to get broken [03:58] i basically run the same apps in both OS [03:58] ok i see that now my bad sorry [03:58] sebsebseb: i beg to differ, but that's the part that doesn't really matter [03:58] jdu: Ok, I ran smartctl on my disk, and there was a fair number of erros listed. Now, the Ubuntu installation that's already installed on that disk still works, so I assume that the disk is "half-broken".....is that possible? [03:58] Lunis: in fact breaking DRM is sort of like piracy [03:58] libtech: i would check your power settings. i think XP is a little more stingy by default [03:58] !piracy | Lunis wolf23 [03:58] Lunis wolf23: piracy discussion and other questionably legal practices are not welcome in the Ubuntu channels.

[04:03] JohnCDI1, I believe the answer to your question is "yes" ;-) I know more than nothing about ssh; hence, someone knows something about ssh; hence, the answer to your question is 'yes' :) [04:03] ive got it up and running and can login but when i use the scp command to do from remote machine to local i get 100% readout saying the file was transferred but when i go to look for it i find nothing in the directory i assigned [04:03] Jdu, I would strongly recommend making a new disk [04:04] Senesence, probably Voss is right [04:04] john it might have to do with the Server. IE: the console/phone/etc/ running the SSH server. [04:04] you don't want to trust chance with your data [04:05] Flannel: yes it has # deb Cdrom [04:05] hmm its just laptop to desktop both running ubuntu and it was just a text file [04:05] Just to confirm: You're telling me that this, plus the fact that gparted stalls on scans, means my disk is dying? [04:05] so is samba now the recommended way to share file systems between unix systems? [04:05] hey guys, i am using mythbuntu and xfce4-panel is using almost 21mb of memory. any thoughts? [04:05] thug4life: Do any of them *not* have a hash infront of them? [04:05] John: try sending it to a already created directory, it might have to do with CHMOD's aswell. [04:05] I have a second drive ext3. this forum gives this command to mount it sudo mkdir /media/storage [04:05] spO: fusion as in compiz-fusion or fusion as in science? [04:05] Senesence get what you can off the hard drive now, and get a new hard drive [04:05] dahlia: it's per-person. i like ftp myself :P [04:05] Flannel: u mean in front of the # [04:06] Senesence, I don't know. stalling on scans might mean a bad floppy drive or something. [04:06] is there a way to make it so you can keep stuff copied in the clipboard after closing a program that you copied it from? [04:06] Senesence, you'll have to decide for yourself. but if tools designed to detect problems complain, well... [04:06] Lunis, I mean I dont see much support for nfs and a lot for samba... so I assume everyone is using samba these days? [04:06] myself: even if you close it, it stays on clipboard. [04:06] Senesence, really, it's not my area of expertise; I suggest getting a second opinon [04:06] opinon [04:06] thug4life: No, I mean the # itself. Doany of the CDrom lines not have a # with them? [04:06] raulh it doesn't [04:07] opinion [04:07] jdu: I disconnected the floppy, disabled it in bios, so that should not be a problem (also the buffer I/O errors are on the sda drive specifically) [04:07] yes it does, i just tried it. [04:07] not for me [04:07] i close Evolution Mail for example and i dont have it copied anymore [04:07] sen, SATA or ide? [04:07] What did you copy..? [04:07] dahlia: personally i think that's because there's more demand for samba because of the amount of people networking at home between linux and windows boxes. i love nfs and i hate samba [04:07] i dunno [04:07] Voss: sda, so sata I guess. [04:08] lol you probably copied an object, which you can't paste. [04:08] Flannel: there isnt no / in front of the # [04:08] anyway idk what to tell ya, ill brb i have to restart X [04:08] Sen, change it to a different SATA port and if its still giving you IO errors get your stuff off the drive ASAP, If it stops giving errors you have have a bad SATA connector on your motherboard [04:08] thug4life: that's not what I asked. [04:08] hmm alt+ctrl+backspace isn't restarting X o.o [04:09] raulh: doesn't for me either i noticed the other day === Odin is now known as th0r [04:09] weird... [04:09] thug4life: Do any of the lines that have "deb cdrom" in them *not* have a "#" infront of that? [04:09] OH it might be because i just updated my system. [04:09] Hi! [04:09] anyway i'm going to restart, cya soon. [04:09] Voss: So it could be SATA cable, and/or the SATA port on the mobo? [04:10] How do you set the PuTTy window always on top? [04:10] Sen, possibly, did you change something recently hardwarewise? [04:10] Flannel: sorry i mis read you [04:10] what does everyone think about sirc irc client [04:10] Voss: No, but this is a fairly old rig. [04:10] Sen, or did you recently have a problem with the power supply? [04:11] blognewb: that's dependent on the window manager i think [04:11] blognewb: there's a menu option for it (a checkbox somewhere in settings) [04:11] Flannel: no all 3 things with ded cd rom all have a # at the begining [04:11] Voss: No, this has essentially just happened out of the blue. === starcraft is now known as starcraftman [04:12] thug4life: Alright, hit q, then sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list, then remove one of the #, then ctrl-O to save, ctrl-X to close. [04:12] are there any tools for setting up nfs? I dont even have an /etc/exports file [04:12] Flannel: sorry most of my screen is cut off yes there is one with out the # [04:12] Sen, like I said try hooking it to a different sata port and if your still having problems , get your data off and replace the drive [04:12] I got a complete noob question. I unexpanded one of my panels using panel properties, and now I cant get back to panel properties because it un-expanded...how do I get to the panel properties when I cant right click on some free space on the panel? [04:13] Voss: Ok, thanks for your help. [04:13] jdu: Thanks for your help, and time. [04:13] Later. [04:13] thug4life: Alright. Then you should have it showing up as a repository. One question though, why are you looking to install fbset in the first place? [04:14] Flannel: there's none! :( [04:14] Flannel: it says deb cdrom: [ubuntu 9.04 _jaunty jackalope_ - release powerpc+ps3 (20090421)]/ jaunty main restricted [04:14] anyone familiar with libfakekey [04:14] blognewb: in PuTTy? Window > Appearances > Ensure Window is Always on Top (or something like that) [04:14] blognewb: are you using gnome with metacity> [04:14] JPSman: did you try different spots on the panel the edges might work if not [04:15] thug4life: Is there one that ends in "universe" by any chance? [04:15] oh god duh thank you ctmjr [04:15] blognewb: because you can right-click on the title bar and set a window to always-on-top [04:15] Lunis: Flannel none both :( [04:15] JPSman: your welcome [04:15] blognewb: I'm staring at it right now. [04:16] how can i install wine through the terminal will sudo apt-get install wine work? [04:16] raulh: Yes [04:16] lol [04:16] Flannel: to awnser your question im using a 51 inch hdtv and the text is really bad and has black borders [04:16] Lunis: looks like I may have been a little wrong, th0r ... [04:16] thug4life: Right, but that's terminal text. Don't you want a GUI on this thing? [04:16] 黑客破解苹果键盘固件 可远程控制电脑 http://news.mydrivers.com/1/141/141071.htm [04:16] god i love good frame buffer when scrolling down sites >_< [04:17] Shunde: this is an english only channel [04:17] Flannel: yes i want the gui but even in the gui the text is blurry and unreadable [04:17] Shunde: Please help keep this channel on topic. Ubuntu support only. [04:17] sebsebseb: huh? [04:17] thug4life: framebuffer stuff doesn't change the GUI stuff. [04:17] haha [04:17] Flannel: http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/7540/dellcsf.jpg [04:17] :( [04:17] what is that 3d Desktop environment called? [04:17] Flannel: oic [04:17] blognewb: Behavior [04:17] I can't speak the sentence with english [04:18] blognewb: Not Appearance [04:18] oooh you said appearance [04:18] !cn | Shunde: [04:18] Shunde:: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [04:18] Lunis: th0r told me something and so on from there [04:18] blognewb: Ah, so I did.

[04:19] Flannel: so how can i get the text more readable on my 51 inch hdtv im trying to get it set up so my wife can use the ps3 to do internet stuff so i dont have to give up my windows pc === saulus_ is now known as SauLus [04:19] Lunis: apparantly it's against the EULA, but maybe not illegal [04:19] blognewb: oh you're not using linux xD that explains why right-click didn't work [04:19] Lunis: well yes it will be against the EULA [04:20] Flannel: and also get rid of the black borders [04:20] thug4life: you'll probably want to install some graphics drivers or something. You might try #ubuntu-ps3, they'll know more about the ps3 than I will. [04:21] does anyone know what the 3d Desktop environment thing is called?? [04:21] Flannel: ok thanxs for the help and sorry to have bothered you [04:22] thug4life: No worries. Sorry I'm not familiar with the ps3 [04:22] raulh: "3d desktop enviroment" on google reveals Project Looking Glass and lg3d as the first two results [04:22] raulh: you mean compiz? [04:22] raulh: compiz-fusion? [04:22] yyyyyyyyes thank you. [04:22] Flannel: thats fine at least i didnt try to put ubuntu on my old windows based pc [04:23] thug4life: That'd probably go a lot smoother. [04:23] Flannel: lol i didnt think it would even work being it has an amd athlon 64 3500+ cpu [04:23] is there a way to change my default browser to firefox 3.5 on jaunty? [04:24] Hi there all I have made and new user and am currently trying to copy all files on my desktop form the old account to the new one, how ever this is proving rather hard, does anyone here know how to do *.* to copy all files is an given directory? [04:24] arooni-mobile___: firefox 3.5 is in synaptic [04:24] thiebaude, i already downlooaded firefox 3.5 but now what? [04:24] thiebaude, through synaptic [04:24] Clouse, just copy the directory.. cp -Rp directory [04:24] thug4life: Oh, that'd run fine. How much RAM does it have? [04:25] I have googled and looked in the cp man but unless I am missing something (which I propblerbly am) nothing. === starcraftman is now known as starcraft [04:26] Flannel 2 gigs of ram with an nvidia geforce 8500 gt 512 mb pcie card [04:26] thug4life: Psh, yeah. That'll run really nicely. [04:26] arooni-mobile___: it should be on your menu under Internet, shiretoko === starcraft is now known as starcraftman [04:26] thug4life: that's better than my desktop. [04:26] not mine [04:26] Can I compile c++ programs for windows on linux using wine? [04:27] g_: Just use gcc [04:27] bastidrazor: Thanks, but I only want the files I can see and not the system files hiding. [04:27] g_: look into mingw and "cross compiling" [04:27] Flannel: its 3 yrs old the 939 socket cpu is out of date [04:27] xfce4-panel is using 21808 virtual memory. this has got to be a huge memory leak. any thoughts on how to fix if I even can? [04:27] Flannel: Do you know if wine will work to save me the trouble [04:27] thug4life: Just because something is a few years old doesn't mean it stops working. That's a perfectly good computer. [04:28] the trouble of cross compiling [04:28] g_: I have no idea if wine will work, but I do know that trying ot go through wine would be more difficult to do. [04:28] hi, i have a old computer with ubuntu server, it is connected wirelessly to the network, but if for some reason, the router goes down, or the connection broken, ubuntu server wont autommaticly reconnect, is there any way the server will auto-reconnect in case the connection is broken? [04:28] mazda01: deallocate teh memoryz [04:28] Flannel: yea it is just cant run newer games as they need a dual cpu [04:28] libtech: what does deallocating the memory mean? [04:29] libtech: it seems to keep rising the longer the machine is on. since this is my main file server and mythtv backend, this is unacceptable [04:29] return it to the heap [04:29] libtech: i don't know how to do that? [04:30] hello all [04:30] can anyone help me fixing usplash [04:30] i tried to install ubuntu start-up manager [04:31] and installed the finger print usplash theme [04:31] after rebooting system hanged [04:31] please help me [04:32] i've messed up in my menu.lst some of my uuid lines any way to recover it?

[04:34] Lunis: in fact ... i've combined 2 menu.lst file in one... and deleted the original one [04:34] Raenir: here is as good as anywhere [04:34] CaptainCrook: you should never mess with menu.lst since it's auto-generated [04:35] Also does Ubuntu have something like Itunes? [04:35] Raenir: quite a few things [04:35] Raenir: songbird is your best bet [04:35] libtech: what can I do to solve this issue? do I even really need the xfce4-panel? could I just add launchers to the desktop? [04:35] Raenir: there's also Quod Libet, Exaile, Amarok, Rhythmbox, Banshee, and others, but Songbird is the most iTunes-like [04:36] can anyone help me fixing usplash on root? [04:36] Lunis: yeah but better when manually arranged... is there any way to generate uuid lines? where those come from? [04:36] songbird also work with managing my ipod? [04:36] Raenir: through a plugin, i'm pretty sure it does [04:36] Raenir: but don't quote me [04:37] CaptainCrook: manually editing menu.lst on Ubuntu is asking for trouble. UUIDs can be found in /dev/disk/by-UUID (i THINK) [04:38] Lunis: allright thanks [04:38] mazda01: there ia a mythbuntu channel they might be able to help you, and yes you need some form of a dock on your desktop [04:38] how do i setup compiz fusion?

[04:51] ext3, from personal experience never used ext4. [04:51] i wanted to install vsftpd and it says this: "0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 5 to remove and 0 not upgraded." Does that mean i already have it? or what? === hiredgoo1 is now known as hiredgoon [04:51] yup just opened a text file [04:51] worked fine [04:51] 1 newly installed, means you installed it B1os [04:51] eboyjr, I have had no trouble with ext4, the main thing to worry about I've heard is that some applications that rely heavily on timestamps and the like might not work the same between the two filesystems. [04:51] Raenir, what are you using to play them/ [04:51] raulh: what does it remove? [04:51] lsusb sees my webcam, but i can't seem to open it with camorama or cheese [04:52] it says TO remove, i hasn't remove anything. [04:52] dassouki, what webcam? [04:52] Im trying everything [04:52] tried songbird [04:52] LogicalDash: Oh wow okay that seems fine.. they are just timestamps. I hope FSpot doesn't use it like that [04:52] tried ryhmbox [04:52] songs stay at 0:00 and dont play [04:52] LogicalDash: Bus 002 Device 002: ID 174f:6a33 Syntek Web Cam - Asus F3SA, F9J, F9S [04:52] eboyjr, no, there are some other fairly significant changes between the filesystems, it's just that you won't see them as long as your programs don't use them [04:53] !mp3 | Raenir [04:53] Raenir: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [04:53] it sees the files, it loaded the files it just wont "play" them [04:53] Raenir, did you install the Ubuntu Restricted Extras Package. That should alow you to play .mp3 and such [04:53] Uhh. i don't know.. ill try to see if i get the same error. [04:53] dassouki, ah, go into your BIOS and make sure that the webcam is turned on. [04:53] raulh: then why does it say "After this operation, 2413kB disk space will be freed." [04:53] it's probably removing old, out-dated dependencies. [04:53] ok [04:54] LogicalDash: Thank you! I heard ext4 was faster. I have already selected it accidentally anyway :P [04:54] I thought I installed the package [04:54] ill go double check [04:55] the other packages to look at are gstreamer packages under the sound&video tab in the add/remove applications [04:55] i have both installed and can listen to music from my ntfs drive [04:55] does anyone know a solution to my scroll problem? firefox is really laggy, frame lag when i scroll down all pages. [04:55] LogicalDash: it is :D [04:55] LogicalDash: it works when i boot into windows [04:55] k installing packages [04:56] Anyone know how to get EVE Online to work on Ubuntu? I tried running it off from the NTFS drive and it exploded [04:56] using Wine [04:56] How can I remove ubuntu-desktop and all dependencies? [04:56] for games and applications that need wine to run do I need to reinstall them onto Ubuntu? [04:56] raenir yea i got it working [04:57] dassouki, you might have better luck if you use the alternative Linux kernel from array.org [04:57] omg this scroll lag is driving me insane i can't find a fix.. [04:57] Raenir im not sure if you do but i know you need to run wine in windowed mode [04:58] dassouki, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/269123 [04:58] Raenir you also need to run it from the exe [04:58] thanks LogicalDash [04:58] dassouki, you're welcome! [04:58] wine needs to be "run"? [04:58] I dont see the option to run wine [04:59] I see it under applications with 4 options "notepad, browse C:\, configure, and uninstall [04:59] Raenir: it's run through the terminal [04:59] ok, so i narrowed it down when i use the scroll bar and hold and drag it doesn't lag but when i use my mouse it lags could it be because it's a wireless mouse?? [04:59] Raenir, you wouldn't run it explicitly if you're working in the window manager, you'd open Windows executables "using" WINE [04:59] Has anyone had any problems with slow video playback? [04:59] what does Ubuntu usually use to automount usb drives? [05:00] Raenir: also, anything opened with wine's file browser would probably be run throigh wine [05:00] Raenir, this actually does tell the computer to run Wine on the executable, fwiw [05:00] psychcf, do you have appropriate graphics drivers? [05:00] raulh: yep, latest nvidia drivers [05:00] sp0, FUSE [05:00] it'll slow down, then stop, then play back any frames that it missed [05:01] and it does that over and over again [05:01] I never have expirianced laggy video, it could be your graphics card, because i remember my old pc would do it, but after i upgraded it i had no problems [05:01] yeah, but this is a fairly new computer [05:01] k, how do I run wine in the terminal? [05:02] AHA eat that ubuntu. [05:02] it was the Effect's making firefox's scroll laggy. [05:02] Raenir: it depends on which file you need to run [05:02] Raenir, usually just "wine " [05:04] when i run World of Warcraft (Wotlk) through Wine I can get to the login screen and then it locks up on me and i can't do anything. does anyone have any ideas/ [05:04] hi [05:04] Tiki218, you might have better luck in #wine [05:04] on rythm box [05:05] how do i stop it from searching for songs through all my paritions [05:05] hi all [05:05] it's lagging the hell out of my pc..

[06:08] prapp193: make sure the proper workgroup is listed.. a reboot I think is required after completion of install/configuration [06:08] And I can halt un-needed processes without any harm done, eh? [06:08] k i "installed" it [06:08] Aepos: it depends on the process [06:09] Alrighty, thanks. [06:09] Exhahe, how do I set up Samba... I have it installed, but dunno how to config it [06:09] Aepos: you can't exactly halt a process [06:09] Pause it? [06:09] Aepos: you can end one though [06:09] Okay. [06:09] That's fine, too. [06:09] Bye. [06:09] Aepos: but use extreme caution [06:09] Always. [06:09] Aepos: if you don't know what something does, assume it does something vital [06:09] Lol [06:09] Exactly [06:09] Awesome. [06:10] Garddarnit [06:10] prapp193: after installation edit /etc/samba/smb.conf .. I'm not a pro.. but all I did was put in the proper workgroup in the file and rebooted.. everything worked perfectly after that [06:10] "The program EVefile.exe has encountered a serious problem and needs to close" [06:11] when im using wine on WinVista mode [06:11] Exhahe, but there are two networks that our house has set up that I want to hop back and forth between, does that mean that I will have to mess with it when changing between them? [06:11] no [06:12] prapp193: >.< I don't think I can answer that correctly.. [06:14] hello, when attempting to install samba "sudo apt-get install samba" I get"subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1" Is there a command to fix this? [06:14] Datz1, do a "sudo apt-get install samba4" [06:14] Datz1: it depends on what is causing the post-install script to fail [06:15] thanks guys will try [06:15] I just installed Samba a few minutesish ago and I typed in samba into terminal and it said to install it using "sudo apt-get install samba4" [06:16] can't find that package [06:16] hi im trying to install nginx in 9.04 but it's giving me this error: sudo: /usr/local/sbin/nginx: command not found what do i do?!?!? :( [06:16] lstarnes: Do you want output? [06:16] Datz1, what version are you on of Ubuntu [06:16] Datz1: if it's more than 1 line, paste it to http://paste.ubuntu.com [06:17] lstarnes: http://pastebin.com/m20dcce85 [06:18] Datz1: apparently the script failed because samba couldn't start [06:18] lstarnes: I did "sudo apt-get remove samba" earlier because it wasn't working and no one would help. :( [06:18] lstarnes: any solutions you may know of?> [06:18] any ideas on how to optimize dijkstra's algorithm? [06:18] Datz1: figure out why it failed to start [06:18] Hi! "you need to add /usr/local/sbin to your environment path." --> how is this done? :S [06:19] lstarnes: That doesn't seem like a solution. xD but ok [06:19] lstarnes: any clue on how to go about that? [06:19] blognewb: what is your current $PATH set to? (if you don't know, echo $PATH) [06:19] Datz1: check for errors in /var/log/samba [06:19] lstarnes, could Datz1 have problems because they aren't running from ~ or does that matter? [06:19] prappl93: that shouldn't matter [06:19] hi lstarnes /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games [06:20] I know on Windows everything is critical as to where it is from.... [06:20] is that wrong? [06:20] blognewb: does that account have root access? [06:20] lstarnes: yes [06:20] blognewb: which version of ubuntu are you using? [06:20] lstarnes: ubuntu 9.04 [06:20] :( [06:20] Datz1, what version of Linux are you on anyway [06:21] Well, Ubuntu [06:21] hi, I'm getting this error when I try to update any idea why W: Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux/linux-image-2.6.24-24-generic_2.6.24-24.55_i386.deb [06:21] 404 Not Found [06:21] prappl93: 8.04 [06:21] Datz, are you on an LTS version? [06:21] blognewb: where are you getting that message from? [06:21] prappl93: 8.04 is an LTS version [06:21] prappl93: I believe so. How do I check [06:21] ok, yes [06:22] lstarnes: from ~/sources/nginx-0.7.61 [06:22] lstarnes: ~/sources/nginx-0.7.61 $ sudo /usr/local/sbin/nginx [06:22] blognewb: why are you compiling ngnix from source? [06:22] Ah. lstarnes, could datz1 be getting these problems from his LTS version? [06:22] how to resume downloaded file when using "wget" [06:22] lstarnes: im trying to test nginx [06:22] so can anyone help me install compiz-fusion? [06:22] Anyone here got EVE working with WINE? [06:22] prappl93: I doubt ut [06:22] *it [06:22] blognewb: there's a package for it in the repositories [06:22] [Ubuntu 9.04] PulseAudio Manager > Sample Cache plays back wrong sounds with me. How can I correct that? [06:23] lstarnes: i was actually following this, and got the latest release http://www.guvnr.com/web/web-dev/install-nginx-not-apache/ [06:23] Eve Online? [06:23] lstarnes: did he make any mistakes? [06:23] blognewb: use the version in the repositories instead [06:23] hi guys [06:23] I have a question [06:23] yes EVE-Online [06:23] what is the shortcut for lock screen in ubuntu [06:23] :P [06:23] blognewb: you could try export PATH = $PATH:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin [06:23] lstarnes: oh my how do i delete this current one then? [06:23] koolhead1: ctrl+alt+L [06:23] hello [06:23] !compiz-fusion [06:23] Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz [06:23] Raenir, why do you want to run eve? [06:24] lstarnes: cool [06:24] why is my wusb54g so slow in ubuntu? [06:24] Haven't tried since they stopped support for Linux.. I just came back to Ubuntu when I get FFXI running.. [06:24] I know it is usb and how can I check what usb speed it is running at? [06:24] blognewb: you could still use the version that you just installed, but it's not going to be updated automatically for security patches and it can't be managed through the package manager [06:24] uum because I like EVE? And I'm currently paying to play EVE? [06:24] why wouldn't I want to run EVE? [06:24] lstarnes: oh really? wow [06:25] It's a great game.. until you start getting into the 30+ day trainings [06:25] Raenir i use wine to run EVE.but slow....slow [06:25] lstarnes: what is your advice? how do i clean this current install up and use the one in the repo [06:25] Raenir, I thought you were talking about the anti-plagiarism software [06:25] blognewb: depending on how it was installed, it might be possivle to use sudo make uninstall [06:25] I seem to be getting "program has encounter a serious error and needs to close" and promptly explodes [06:26] blognewb: you can install the repo version with sudo apt-get install nginx [06:26] bye [06:26] I need to install PHP 4 on ubuntu 9... since an app I am debugging is using that [06:26] anyone know? [06:26] :-s [06:26] blognewb: in 9.04 it's version 6.35 [06:26] hello [06:26] my transfer speeds are really slow [06:26] :( [06:27] i cant update ubuntu i get some cd rom error [06:27] lstarnes: then it will update itself? [06:27] talking to me? [06:27] lstarnes: you mean i can apget install without cleaning the one i have first? [06:27] blognewb: it will be updated whenever a major bug or secuity vulnerability is found in the packaged version [06:27] txmale4969, look in System >> Administration >> Software Sources [06:28] blognewb: you can, but things in /usr/local typically get preference over /usr [06:28] txmale4969, you probably have the cd listed as a source [06:28] blognewb: 9.10 currently has nginx 0.7.59-1 and might have a newer version when 9.10 is released [06:28] hi === mpiekarski is now known as pectoral [06:28] anyone hearing me? [06:28] :-s [06:28] :( [06:29] mattwj2002, I hear you but have no idea...what are you trying to transfer? [06:29] txmale4969: you can fix that by going into system > administration > software sources then looking under the "third-party sources" section for the cdrom entry [06:29] prappl93, lstarnes : you guys have any ideas? [06:29] just some files using samba [06:29] ok ill look in a second [06:29] Datz1: not unless I knew what was causing it to fail [06:30] I am getting less than a 1 Megabyte per second [06:30] ok [06:30] :( [06:30] datz, I am rather noobish to Ubuntu, I just know bits and pieces of it sofar [06:30] mattwj2002, is it only a samba problem or is it global? [06:30] Datz1: have you looked in /var/log/samba/log.smbd ? [06:30] I think it is global [06:30] nope just archive canocical and wine hq [06:30] lstarnes: should i delete this faulty install first? [06:30] because it works fine if I use my hard wire nic [06:31] blognewb: it doesn't seem like it's actually faulty [06:31] blognewb: but that would probably be best [06:31] mattwj2002, what about ftp? [06:31] uuuuuuug who is actually at the riviera right now [06:31] anyone know how to use "emerald-theme-manager [06:31] no [06:32] Dont bother [06:32] hmmm [06:32] txmale4969, I'm having a similar problem...not sure what the deal is I get a 404 error [06:32] Hello, World!

[06:34] lstarnes: I deleted that dir after I removed samba the first time.

[06:42] ok thanks, one last noob question (sorry :x) but can I virus scan my external hard drive before my computer really opens it up? [06:43] noobo: you would most likely need to mount it first === mpiekarski is now known as pectoral [06:43] how would I do that? [06:43] noobo: it would usually be mounted when you open it [06:44] ok thanks [06:44] txmale4969, can you run "gedit /etc/apt/sources.list" and post the results to http://paste.ubuntu.com [06:45] noobo: otherwise, find out what its device node is and what mount point you want, then open a terminal and use sudo mount /dev/device-node /path/to/mount-point [06:45] ok idk about the mounting/unmounting thing but the computer found the drive immediately [06:45] ...I dont really know what mount/unmount means yet...sorry I'm a noob on retard level :x [06:45] ive seen this alot ". Edit /etc/apt/sources.list and put this line:" [06:45] noobo: where /dev/device-node is the path to the device's node, and /path/to/mount-point is the path to the mount point [06:45] how do i edit the sources list...? [06:45] i still get the same error to where it names every word of the band track name as no such file or directory [06:46] noobo: in linux and unix, mounting refers to attaching a filesystem, drive, or partition to a directory so that you can access the files in it [06:46] raulh: alt+f2, gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [06:47] raulh, open /etc/apt/sources.list as root in a text editor [06:47] thanks guys.

[07:18] trece8: I don't know what you're referring to [07:18] now to see if ubuntu will read my 4 tb drive [07:18] it got fixed [07:18] it's kind of a bizarre error [07:18] hmm [07:19] I'll never know how it happened, now it's all OK (but I have to reconfigure all over again) [07:19] :( [07:19] thug4life: there are such things are 4TB drives? [07:19] I have a box with NVidia TVOut, I upgraded it recently and now the xserver refuses to start [07:19] any idea how to troubleshoot ? [07:19] yea its a dual external drive it has 2 2 tb drivews in it [07:19] well i give up === masterhumper is now known as sejo [07:20] it cost me 700 bucks for it [07:20] quiiiiteeerrrr [07:20] JohnCDI1, you need petrol [07:20] and some meth [07:21] Why isn't there an $EDITOR environment variable set to use the /etc/alternatives/editor? [07:21] moymoy goto westeren digitals website they got them there only 700 bucks [07:21] zenwryly: I don't know of anything that actually checks that environment variable [07:21] western digital drives tend to be not reliable over time [07:21] lstarnes: I run into it all the time [07:22] thug4life: lol not interested for now.. i have a 1TB internal.. and i won't fill it up for a while [07:22] hey there i have a question can someone help me to bring my sound card up please I'm running a Compaq Presario F700 [07:22] i'd go for samsung or something like that [07:22] rage, this might give you what you need "sudo dmidecode --type 17 | more" [07:22] !sound [07:22] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [07:22] i was told there better then seagate and maxtor i know maxtor drives are garbage had mine replaced 5 times already cause the smart failed in them [07:22] lstarnes: *dch* does fro crying out loud [07:23] zenwryly: if you need to use it, you could export it yourself manually or by setting it in your ~/.bashrc [07:23] !x11 [07:23] The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution [07:23] yes, but I think samsung is better than western digital. Western Digital used to be good, then sometime 2 years ago it went to awful [07:23] I have seen WD drives break down in less than 1 year [07:23] zenwryly: I don't know anything about dch [07:23] lstarnes: yes, I know tht. The questuion is, why doesn't ubuntu do it by default [07:24] lstarnes: dch=debchange part of devscripts [07:24] lstarnes: used in building packages [07:24] moymoy i already have 1tb filled lol it didnt take me long to fill it [07:24] thug4life: personally, i like hitachi, i've heard good things about them .. though everything i've used seem about the same, nothing's failed on me before [07:24] thug... I can't fill even 20Gb [07:24] lol [07:24] Anyone have trouble with the windows colour of a given theme not showing in 8.10? [07:24] thug4life: it really depends... if my internet were faster, mine would be filled too.. but i only have the average joe's DSL connection [07:24] then ur doing something wrong lmao [07:25] I don't know, but if you fill more than what you can actual see, hear, code, use, read and watch... you have problems [07:25] lstarnes: subversion does as well === clouse is now known as Clouse [07:25] zenwryly: I don't know if debian does that by default [07:25] lstarnes: using EDITOR is *hardly* fringe practice, it's fairly common practice [07:25] i only download at 579 kb/s and thats a cable modem thats sopossed to get 5 mb/s [07:25] no, it's 5Mbauds/s [07:26] not bytes [07:26] the cable company tech guy said 5 mb/s megabytes [07:26] then he's dumb [07:26] zenwryly: it's not necessarily a standard though [07:26] OK finerlly found a thread on this and Darklooks theme is broken [07:26] zenwryly: and you could easily export that variable when you need to [07:27] a [07:27] -cn [07:27] #cn [07:27] leave: what are you trying to do? [07:27] #ubuntu-cn [07:27] trece8: so 5 Mbps comes out to about 640KB/s? [07:27] zenwryly: I think sensible-editor is the debian alternative (which honors $EDITOR by default, I believe) [07:27] leave: /join #ubuntu-cn [07:27] exactly, moymoy [07:27] about that. [07:28] It's not MegaBytes nor MegaBits [07:28] trece8: that's about 5 or 6 times faster than my connection [07:28] join in ubtntu china [07:28] Flannel: hmm, not on my two ubuntu systems. Know whee this is done so I can see if I did anything that changed it? [07:28] it takes me 5 minutes to download 100 mb :( [07:28] moy, i was just telling that cable connections of 5Mb/s are not of 5MB/s [07:28] zenwryly: What's not on your systems? sensible-editor honoring $EDITOR? [07:28] trece8: oh god.. 5 MB/s would be amazing.. [07:29] Hey, I do remember days in 1999 downloading at 5Kb/s [07:29] 3q lstarnes [07:29] don't complain :P [07:29] you can get 10MB/s but in intranet I think [07:29] trece8: well i still feel like i'm way behind the curve.. =] [07:29] yea but 5 minutes is to long to wait to download 100 mb [07:29] 5 minutes too long? LOL [07:29] thug4life: not at all for me.. [07:29] if you download a WAV file [07:30] but of course im using windows to do my downloading [07:30] it's faster than listening to that [07:30] Flannel: oh! I see. Hmm. I'm thinking the other way around. I have update-alternatives set /usr/bin/editor for my favorite, I was wondering why one of the startup or login files doesn't export EIDTOR=/usr/bin/editor to integrate it with alternatives [07:30] it took me 15 to 20 minutes to download the ubuntu iso [07:30] moymoy, one thing to get envious: In CERN (the collider) the factor that is critical to transfer speed aren't the wires. It's the read/write speed of the drives [07:30] Flannel: what does sensible-* get us over the above? [07:30] thug4life: trece8: should we perhaps move our conversation to offtopic? [07:30] 20 minutes? LOL... it's nothing [07:30] im making about 3300 b/s to 13.0 kb/s for a package install lol [07:31] yes, we should [07:31] how do we do that? [07:31] thug4life: /join #ubuntu-offtopic [07:31] trece8: the bottleneck were the drives.. so max was 3GB/s? [07:31] zenwryly: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-select-per-user-editor-in-ubuntu-810-intrepid.html You can set it system wide (or on a per-user basis), you could include an export in your bashrc easily enough. [07:32] I don't know, my boss works there, I didn't really ask for numbers [07:32] Flannel: ah, yeah, per-user, that makes sense [07:32] Flannel: thanks [07:32] zenwryly: It also makes it integrate nicely with the package manager. When you add a new editor, it shows up in the list, etc (the sensible-* that is) [07:32] Hi...having some difficulty with Distribution Upgrade from 8.10 to 9.04. The process seems to be stalled in "Getting New Packages" at file 1296 of 1296. [07:33] How do I tell what nvidia-glx package I need? [07:33] 97, 71, 180 or 173 ?? [07:34] I'm having trouble installing jaunty on my secondary laptop, can anyone help? [07:34] alloy: read the descriptions of the pacakges, and they should list cards (or at least families) [07:35] Flannel: yeah, thakns that's exactly the information I was looking for. Makes a lot of sense now. Since I have a single user system I can just was well make /usr/bin/editor my favorite and export EDITOR to it and I have a global default, while other systems can change it per-user gracefully [07:35] hey there i have a question can someone help me to bring my sound card up please I'm running a Compaq Presario F700 [07:35] whoa i feel like im on dialup connection today :( [07:36] linux: give us some numbers [07:36] hi it seems that ubuntu does strange thing to my keyboard leds, does someone knows how i can fix my leds ? [07:37] update manager is running on low end about 3300 B/s and hi-end about 17 K/s [07:37] linux: oh, that's nothing to worry about if you're at AT&T customer... because it happens ALL THE TIME! =[ [07:39] hahaha its true im on a network running through att [07:39] my cable network is AT&T? [07:39] is it? [07:39] AT&T doesn't do cable .. only dsl i think [07:39] but wow.. i've never heard of cable being that slow [07:40] what are you on? .. and godmodegrafix, you have horrible slowdowns too? [07:40] no im using cable internet not AT&T [07:40] yeah im on dsl.. [07:40] i get them ALL THE TIME [07:40] i think it might be cause of the crappy ass router my neighbor has lol [07:40] leaving [07:41] hi [07:41] As soon as this update is done im gonna reboot see if that helps on the connection in about 1hr to 30 min lol [07:42] i remember i used to have cable a few months back, and wow it was beautiful.. my top download speed would go up to 750/kbs more or less [07:42] what is that about cable? [07:42] i have this problem with AT&T all the time.. and so i call them and they end up rebooting all the equipment responsible for my line and my connection is back to normal [07:43] why some theme from gnome-look.com didn't match with my ubuntu. i using interpid [07:43] indus: we're talking about how are ISPs get slowwwww [07:43] rian: what do you mean "didn't match"? [07:43] can someone tell me?

[07:44] mine is 2 Mbps so lets say 256 kbps [07:44] thats super slow for cable.. ive never heard of that [07:44] mine is adsl [07:44] come in off-topic [07:44] it can't work when i install it. === nabeel is now known as Guest20801 [07:45] of coarse it could be the wireless connection but it says running at 71% [07:45] rian: that's because some themes on gnome-look are for emerald and other window managers... look for the "Metacity" themes.. Ubuntu uses Metacity by default [07:45] 25 more min to go lol [07:46] im such a linux noov [07:46] noob :( [07:46] but some theme from metacity can't work too [07:47] do you guys prefer to use Vi or Emacs??

[08:08] godmodegrafix: But I can figure out where to do it [08:08] where can I get an ubuntu install disk that doesn't come with desktop environment? or is ubuntu server the only option for that? [08:09] psycho_oreos: Its really interesting to see how linux distros are so much alike and so different and how much customization can really be done. Its endless really. [08:09] yeah! it's good and bad at the same time.. [08:09] linuxguy2009, slackware as apt-get `handle-a-like' frontend known as slapt-get.. gentoo uses emerge. arch linux uses pacman (which I have never tried) [08:09] godmodegrafix: yeah very powerful stuff [08:09] linuxguy2009, that's the power of open source and differing tastes :) [08:10] mornin [08:10] ive yet to harness the power of linux though..

[08:10] linuxguy2009, hehe [08:10] godmodegrafix, command line interface [08:10] !cli [08:10] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful.

[08:12] PolikiterALT: I prefer to choose and setup my desktop environment myself [08:13] thats cool Gadu [08:13] Gadu: With the alternate CD, you can choose to install a CLI-only system [08:13] hey how long does it take for a nick to expire on this network [08:13] !minimal | Gadu [08:13] Gadu: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [08:13] Gadu: its just easier i feel with the alternate installer, it doesnt take resources like the live cd,so if you know what you are doing,its great [08:13] Flannel: Now there is something I didnt know you could do. Never tried the ubuntu alternative cd. [08:13] err desktop (my bad) can allow you to install but with ubiquity [08:13] jussi01: sweet [08:13] :) [08:14] is KDE different that GNOME?

[08:17] phat_code, try going into Edit > Preferences [08:17] I just looked in a certain rpm based distros repos and you can install synaptic for rpm package management. I guess thats like a mirror opposite of installing Yum in ubuntu which is deb based. I see that some functionality is lost however, no synaptic "generate download script" functionality. hmm [08:17] dunno what would be exact option in ubuntu but I'm sure you'll find it [08:17] i want to have the webform be submitted only once by a particular user account but i want to allow him to edit his submission! how do i configure it!!! [08:18] what is the dir\w counterpart in bash? [08:18] linuxguy2009, yeah they operate different, yum looks quite similar to apt-get but the way they display various stuff is different.. imo I find yum is very slow compared to apt-get [08:18] blognewb: "ls" [08:18] blognewb: what does dir \w do? [08:18] moymoy: Really simple, currently there are no icons on my desktop in 8.10 and I would like to add my home folder to it. [08:18] linuxguy, would it be convenient to use deb based pkgmngr on a rpm based one? [08:18] psycho_oreos: ah interesting [08:19] lstarnes, think its for "folders" as they called it [08:19] has anyone found a fix for the ati radeon x1200 graphics problem in 9.04 [08:19] Clouse: do you want your home folder AS your desktop? [08:19] psycho_oreos: I know what dir does, but not its \w switch [08:19] linuxguy2009, yum's source code is python which is different to apt-get which most likely has C source code as base [08:19] lstarnes: i mean list down the files and subfolders inside that particular dir? [08:19] ls -1 [08:19] that's what dir \w does iirc... [08:19] blognewb: ls usually does that [08:20] lstarnes, no no, dir /w I think shows only "folders" [08:20] oh [08:20] blognewb, the equiv of dir /w should be "ls -hal" [08:20] well i am dumb sorry [08:20] psycho_oreos, /w is widelist format, which i think is one entry per line [08:20] lstarnes: i got it working btw [08:20] -_-' [08:20] haha [08:20] jesus [08:20] i didnt know ls -hal was an option [08:21] Hello , does it possible to enable the "Remote desktop" service on ubuntu from remote ssh access ? [08:21] how can I remote desktop from Ubuntu to Windows Vista? [08:21] message144, just checked it on my windows boxen its not ls -l :) not in list format, its in column of three [08:21] godmodegrafix: Well it would be convenient if you were used to a certain distro and found it hard to remeber new ways of package management and other things or just convenience. Just goes to show how amazingly configurable linuc is at teh core. [08:21] linuxguy: indeed.. [08:22] hey all [08:22] yo [08:22] moymoy: No I just want a link to my home folder on my desktop [08:22] please help, nautilus's file etc bar has dissappeared [08:22] Clouse: i see [08:22] I'v been all over the net trying to find a driver fix for the amd x64 ati radeon x1200 graphics driver problems 9.04 seems to be having [08:22] have anyone of you guys used Yakuake before? [08:23] can anyone point me in the right direction [08:23] yes yakuake is sweet [08:23] Im thinking of buying a book from amazon that is distro independent and shows lots of the workings of linux at its heart. I want to learn all i can about Linux but keeping distro specific information excluded until I actually want to learn a certain distro. [08:23] Clouse: go to terminal and type `ln -s ~/ ~/Desktop/Home` [08:23] moymoy: what does that command do? [08:24] godmodegrafix, creates a softlink [08:24] please help, nautilus's file etc bar has dissappeared, cannot view hidden files etc [08:24] godmodegrafix: that links ~/Desktop/Home to your home directory [08:24] godmodegrafix: does exactly what he asks.. puts a link to his home folder onto his desktop [08:24] one very cool thing I learned today was in the terminal you can press "tab tab" to get a list of every CLI tool available to you. hehe simply awsome [08:24] godmodegrafix: like a shortcut [08:24] fireball: what method are you using for starting it? [08:24] thats cool! [08:24] linuxguy2009: the linux bible is a pretty neat book for getting into linux ive found. [08:24] ls -ax looks probably in some ways similar.. it won't show folders/directories with brackets around it [08:24] i wonder why they dont place a home folder icon on desktop by default [08:25] menu, app launcher, etc [08:25] linuxguy2009: linux command.org is also good for command beginners [08:25] bluegoon: Thank you very much for the recomendation. That is definetly one I am considering. [08:25] moymoy: Thankyou, worked great! [08:25] linuxguy2009: sorry linuxcommand.org [08:25] Clouse: no problem =p [08:25] fireball: try alt+f === Max_ClinkApps is now known as xamjg|away [08:25] linny: great thank you.Sure there is something there for me to learn. [08:26] linuxguy2009: yea its pretty huge too, lots of handy info. [08:26] linuxguy2009: also the RHCE courses would be a good idea.

[08:27] lbray785: what aversion of ubuntu 32 or 64 bit [08:27] lbray785: synaptic non-free flashplayer or manually instal by visiting adobe.com and download the deb package for 8.04+ [08:27] *version :) [08:27] sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [08:27] GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_ref: assertion `object->ref_count > 0' failed [08:27] bluegoon: linuxguy2009: im currently doing the LPI certification they start of very basic but are highly regarded non distro specific certificates [08:27] lbray785 that should do the trick [08:27] i have tried this and it says the architecture is wrong or something of that matter [08:27] is the error from terminal [08:28] no hang on ill try again [08:28] i get the dependencies not met error [08:28] do you have all your repositories installed [08:28] ? [08:28] linny: Ah very nice. Non distro depcific learning is great cause it can be carried to any linux system. [08:28] fireball: what about nautilus --no-default-window?

An Ubuntu guide claims this should be possible for my card, and I've followed the guide's instructions. How do I troubleshoot the issue? [08:30] not sure exactly [08:30] I'm on a fresh install of Ubuntu 9.04 and if I try to "xinit -- :1" why do I get "X: user not authorized to run the X server, aborting" ? [08:31] lbray785: type in a terminal uname -a [08:31] Ileden I'm having the same problem [08:31] lbray785: if you're not sure, go into a terminal and type this: uname -m [08:31] Hello , i installed ubuntu 9.04 on my home computer , i am now at work and i would like to use my computer with vnc , the problem i left my router settings to allow only ssh port open for my computer , does it possible to use vnc on the same port of ssh ?

[08:31] Samus_Aran: just do /etc/init.d/gdm start [08:32] frogzoo: this is not related to GDM. I want to load a secondary X server ... [08:32] Samus_Aran: ah, can't help soz [08:32] HerbMonk: have you also done everything in this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver [08:32] nevyn: how can I add local users to be allowed to start Xorg ?

Cheers Ubuntu! =) [08:34] ati radeon x1200 = fed up drivers [08:34] damn i have little patience [08:34] HerbMonk: Whats the problem exactly? In english? [08:35] indus: of course it's possible and recommended. an X server is just a graphical interface, and there is no limit to how many of them can be loaded at the same time [08:35] my graphics card is not being recognized by ubuntu 9.04 === Diehardy is now known as BTK_GreenRiver [08:35] HerbMonk: ATI? [08:35] indus: I've been using X since XFree86 3.3.x and using multiple X servers for almost the whole time [08:35] i'v got crappy frame rates and no 3d exeleration [08:35] yes ati [08:35] amd x64 [08:35] Samus_Aran:hmm [08:35] HerbMonk: what card ? [08:35] just not sure why Ubuntu is locking down the X server [08:36] HerbMonk: Sorry to say I have zero experience with ATI cards at all. [08:36] VGA compatible controller [0300]: ATI Technologies Inc RS690M [Radeon X1200 Series] [1002:791f] [08:36] Samus_Aran: why has X been implemented as a network server by design i would like to know [08:36] HerbMonk: i did the xorg.conf editing as the guide said, but it didn't help. 'lshw -C display' reports the display as "UNCLAIMED". I assume it should read something else when it's working [08:36] indus: most distro allow the user to launch X out-of-the-box, including Arch Linux, Slackware, Knoppix and most others I've tried [08:36] i would try envy-ng [08:36] indus: the default is to allow local only, and not networked clients. you need xhost to allow network clients [08:36] Ileden yea mine said the same thing [08:36] bogus [08:36] Hey y0 [08:37] Samus_Aran: hmm x host [08:37] HerbMonk: i would try envy-ng i know its unsupported but its reported to work withthat card [08:37] HerbMonk linny ya worth a try [08:37] linny? [08:37] HerbMonk: also my Xorg.0.log reports onw problem "(EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found)" - i'm wondering why it talks about NVIDIA not ati (my previous card was nvidia) [08:38] heyyyyyyyyyyy [08:38] HerbMonk: i was addressing the user linny :) [08:38] HerbMonk: google envy-ng [08:38] sorry bro [08:38] k [08:38] my wireles doesnt work with my router...... but it works with another router! :S [08:38] Ileden: did you install the nvidia drivers?

[08:38] Ileden: sudo aptitude remove --purge nvidia* [08:39] indus: ok. how do i... right, thanks! :) [08:39] HerbMonk: thanks for the entry that solved my problem [08:39] lbray785: If its for the same thing as HerbMonk, I have no experience with ATI cards at all. [08:39] indus: if your question was serious, X was designed as a network server so that a more powerful server can ... well, serve. if you want to see X serving put to great use, check out LTSP. I've used that to power a computer lab of 20+ 486s with a single powerful multi-CPU box, works great [08:40] indus: reported no packages matching nvidia* [08:41] Ileden: hmm [08:41] nevyn, indus: I had non-free nvidia drivers installed with my previous card and when it broke down and I replaced the card, they weren't in the drivers list anymore. i've done nothing to remove them, since I don't know how.

[10:06] ikonia: error404notfound i would say it works beautifully [10:06] ikonia: if there is an official alternative which isnt better, then whats wrong in recommending a native 64 bit? [10:07] indus, but that would mean source code install? [10:07] indus: how do you know it's not metter ? [10:07] :'( [10:07] guys don't fight, please? [10:07] ikonia: nvm, you can suggest your fix [10:07] error404notfound: yes, you'd have to use the adobe installer (which isn't different from what the ubutu package actaully does) but it would be outside the package managers control [10:08] ikonia, and i dont like that, one have to do manual upgrades of such packages... [10:08] error404notfound: there is no installer, create a folder under .mozilla called plugins in home directory,move the libflashplayer.so there [10:08] error404notfound: yes, I agree it's not a good idea [10:08] indus, i am on a server install, so ideally no .mozilla [10:08] flash is a unique case [10:08] IM getting this whenever I try to install any software from add/remove panel -> http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m6d269688 [10:08] ikonia, so what do you suggest? i have tried all launchpad solutions [10:08] error404notfound: aah server [10:09] I get the same when tried to sudp apt-get upgrade.

[10:09] GoogleDidntHelp: 'dd' can copy the partition to a big file, assuming you have enough space. [10:09] GoogleDidntHelp: Copying chunk by chunk is also possible [10:10] ikonia, why would i? i am just trying to install openmeetings [10:10] fahadsadah, can I private you? it\s not reallz a ubntu discussion [10:10] grawity: I don't have enough space to do a full copy anywhere, my only option is four or five DVDs [10:10] error404notfound the viewer has dependencies on the desktop I believe (not fact) [10:10] IM getting this whenever I try to install any software from add/remove panel -> http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m6d269688 [10:10] ikonia, i would humbly disagree... [10:11] õìì [10:11] and the same whn i try to sudo apt-get upgrade [10:11] GoogleDidntHelp: Would a DVD fit to the _un_encrypted partition? [10:11] error404notfound: as I said "not fact" [10:11] ikonia, hmm, trying the deb and then the source installer from adobe i guess [10:11] grawity: dd count=xxx if=/drive of=/driveimg then dd count=xxx offset=xxx if=/drive of=/driveimg?

[10:15] but why does the off. site fail !? [10:15] why did I loose that option? [10:15] error404notfound: probably what ikonia says then,with the official package_ reconfigure flash?

[10:20] Is it possible to run 9.04 with FF 3.5 as the only FF and as the default browser? [10:20] VSpike: Yes [10:21] VSpike: yes you can uninstall old ff [10:22] indus: yeah, I've done that - i just noticed that the new FF doesn't satisfy the firefox metapackage [10:22] VSpike: aah hmm how can u tell? [10:23] indus: In fact the description for the firefox package says "This is a meta package that will point to the latest firefox package in ubuntu. Don't remove this if you want to receive automatic major version upgrades for this package in future." And yet FF 3.1 and FF 3.5 are available in the repo! [10:23] indus: partly because it got removed when I removed FF 3.0 and also because the description for "firefox" says "Depends: firefox-3.0, firefox-3.0-branding" [10:23] VSpike: ya iam not sure why it says so, its misleading, there are only security updates no upgrades [10:24] how to use T-Mobile's Web'n'walk USB modem with ubuntu 9.04?????

[10:24] Symlink [10:25] VSpike: hmm well, that wont happen i believe [10:25] fahadsadah: I though about that, but it's likely to break other packages in future [10:25] indus: I'll try the alternatives system [10:25] VSpike: uhnn ya sudo update-alternatives --configure?

[12:22] Dr_Willis: thank you [12:22] web5|org|ua: indus isn't have any problems, i don't think [12:22] well, if I prop up the computer so that the intake has more space between it and the table, this tends not to happen [12:22] moymoy:i dont understand [12:22] moymoy: i'm not wo lucky ) [12:23] moymoy: i'm not so lucky ) [12:23] ive seen fluff and fur.. and stuf get into laptop fans befor. [12:23] web5|org|ua:does moymoy know your problem? [12:23] indus: lol just thought it was weird he was suggesting you to reinstall (something) [12:23] credobyte, thanks. If I can't figure out how to do that I'll ask =) [12:23] indus: ok, one moment, i show my problem [12:23] moymoy: i too have problems :) [12:23] moymoy: but no one can solve it [12:23] toyimp: find your current kernel, open Packages menu and choose "Lock version" - nothing too hard :) [12:23] indus: sounds like Einstein [12:24] credobyte: toyimp: and if you use aptitude, you'll have to lock it in aptitude also [12:24] moymoy: ever since i installed 9.04 my dvd drive wont work.,i shifte dto karmic and it still wotn work [12:24] !dontwork [12:24] 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. [12:24] credobyte, moymoy, okies. Thanks guys! [12:25] moymoy: no, in aptitude you need to hold it ( instead of "locking" ) [12:25] Dr_Willis: is that for me? [12:25] indus: yeah.. is it on IRC all day? [12:25] when i run command `Xnest :1 -geometry 640x480' i get: fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server ":0.0" [12:25] credobyte: you got me ;) [12:25] moymoy: i didnt understand [12:26] indus: oh.. i was reading the ubottu thing that was in response to your DVD drive "not working" [12:26] 'it dont work... make it work' - > is a tad vague [12:26] it doset play dvd movies is a much different problem then it not reading data disks.. or it not burning disks... [12:26] moymoy: Dr_Willis:well, i guessed since scott james remnant of kernel team is probably working on it [12:26] Dr_Willis: its not detected by the ubuntu kernel [12:26] indus: so if I adjust the position just a little it pretty much alleviates the overheating problem, but it makes it very uncomfortable for me to type. I think that a minor decrease in heat production would solve it altogether.

UNR works good here on my AAO. i am using the normal ubuntu desktop i installed on it. and i followed some tweaks in the AAO forums. [13:12] credobyte, ah CLI. Thank you :) [13:12] hellooo [13:12] so you don't mind it ignoring the scrolling every time on a new web page tab? [13:13] Help! Trying to connect bluetooth gps. every attempt to communicate returns "invalid exchange". Setting encryption=disable does not fix. (Ubuntu-minimal, Hardy, console) [13:13] it takes ages to decide to acknowledge my scrolling, then after a while, it'll zip up and down and up and down like crazy [13:13] Hi. I was stupid enough to apply updates on my eee 1000HE, and now the wlan does not function again - it's a ralink rt2860, connection shows up but it just fails to connect. access point uses wpa2. any fix? [13:14] hy [13:15] anyone ever had an issue with Evolution not grabbing pop email via gmail ?

[13:16] credobyte, is weird just suddenly decided to stop working today for some reason [13:16] Rods_Tiger: ive never noticed the isue.. you are refering to useing the touchpad 'scroll' areas? or a mousewheel? [13:16] HI, anyone know how remove postfix (with apt-get) without remove courrier? === The_Toxic_Mite is now known as InterCity-125 [13:16] it's embarassing - if I let someone else use it, they ALWAYS want to know what's wrong with my computer. All I can tell them is that I installed Ubuntu on it instead of the one it came with. [13:16] tux_: umh, yeah .. that's why I prefer Thunderbird :) [13:16] there's no mouse wheel on the Acer Aspire One, it's a pad [13:16] 'ello. I plan on reinstalling ubuntu. I have 3 partitions with 3 different mount points. 1: /, 2: /home, 3: /var/www. I wanna format only the first one. Will the others be wiped as well? [13:17] but even if you use the normal arrow keys, the same applies [13:17] nexsja: no === InterCity-125 is now known as The_Toxic_Mite [13:17] nexsja: select manual partitioning - choice is up to you ( by default none of them will be formated ) [13:17] other people seem less tolerant of this sluggish and delayed behaviour than I am, but even I'm starting to get highly irritated by it. [13:17] Rods_Tiger: thats why i asked. I dont seem to have the issue here. but i tend to use a mouse with mine. could be some of the tweaks i did from the AAO forums tweaked the touchpad. I am using some example xorg.conf configs from t eh forums === ait is now known as zikos [13:18] credobyte: possitive? The setup told me, that it'll wipe quote: "(/etc, /bin, /usr, /var, etc...)" that's why i'm asking about /home [13:18] it's not mentioned there, nor does it mention that it won't be wiped [13:18] forget about the touch pad - even the cursor keys - in fact any form of interaction - is delayed considerably [13:18] and if i set up the mount points again the same way, everything will stay the same? [13:19] Rods_Tiger: i would say check out the AAO forum threads - see if others have similer issues. there are some kernel boot tweaks/options that may help. [13:19] nexsja: when you select manual partition and delete all the existing ones, create a few new ones ( the same mountpoint, the same size ), you'll see that they are not going to be formated ( unchecked ). [13:19] I'm not going to mess about trying to reprogram this thing - it either installs and works, or not [13:20] Rods_Tiger: then just give up.. whatever you want... aparently you dont want 'help' [13:20] so im not going to waste any more time i guess.. [13:20] No, I don't want to dick about with code and technical stuff. I was just expecting a chorus of other people to join in and say that it's really bad for them too, but they've moved on to xyz linux which is better, or something. [13:20] Hi - I have a LUKS partition on an external 1TB disk. It mounts ok, but I want to be able to mount it to /media/garfield instead of the default /media/disk. Is there any way for doing that? [13:21] I'll revert to Linpus Lite. === nabeel is now known as Guest31177 [13:21] now last update vuze .? [13:21] Rods_Tiger: do whatever you want.. have fun. [13:21] I'll try [13:21] I asked this question earlier but had to dash before catching an answer: what's the best course of action if I get a bus error when apt is trying to build dependency tree? [13:22] credobyte: mmm... if i delete the partitions won't they be formatted then?! I don't quite get it, actually. I'm afraid that my /home partition will be formatted or won't be assigned currectly as the new mount point :< [13:23] nexsja: if you 'delete a partition' it becomes 'unallocated' with no fileystem at all on that area of the disk. [13:23] Hi all, I just installed ubuntu 9.04 x64. The sound was working fine and then stopped working after the restart. I've been googling for the last few hours with no luck. Any ideas? [13:23] I don't even need it to automount, I just want to consistently specify WHERE it mounts, so tracker can cache it [13:23] hey guys any of you got youtube problems with mozilla and watching a video??? like the screen goes all shity when selecting HQ :: HD :: Fastforwarding? [13:24] Ernz: if you set a proper 'label' on the filesystem - it will mount to that /media/Labelname or you can mount it specifically from /etc/fstab [13:24] nexsja: well, they will be formated only after applying changes .. gparted allows you to modify them ( delete, resize, etc. ) without applying changes asap :) [13:24] Dr_Willis: right, so... It'll be wiped, right? And if now, in the setup, i have "don't use this partition" and i just set it to ext3, and define a mount point - it's okay? [13:24] Ernz: for ext2/3 you use the tune2fs command to set a label. [13:24] now last update vuze .3 to 4.2? [13:24] Dr_willis - I have tried using e2label to change the ext4 label. It fails. :( [13:24] nexsja: if you delete a partition, then make a NEW one in the same place.. and set its type to be ext3.. you need to reformat it to be ext3. [13:25] hi everyone. is there a framegrabber software for linux? i mean a software which takes a few shots from a video file and saves it to one jpg. [13:25] jackd: ffmpeg [13:25] Dr_Willis: right. So i don't need to delete the partitions. [13:25] Ernz: cant say that ive tried that with ext4 yet.. you could mount it via fstab via UUID and just have it go where it needs [13:25] nexsja: you could just 'change its type' i guess then reformat.. but its not really that big a deal i think [13:26] hhooh [13:26] h [13:26] hh [13:26] hh [13:26] h [13:26] aaron11: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [13:26] nexsja: when using gparted i always delete it. then remake it.. just to be safe [13:26] credobyte: do you know how to tell ffmpeg to create one jpg where all the frames are inside? i cant do it by hand because it will be a big batch :) [13:26] luna [13:27] Dr_Willis: I don't wanna format my /home partition. I've got some data that can't be lost and it's too big to backup right now and i don't have anything to backup on... :< [13:27] And Dr_Willis: Because it's a LUKS protected EXT4 partition, the label in nautilus changes from "1000.2 GB Encrypted Data" to "1000.2 GB Media" when it's mounted. But the mount location is still /media/disk. What device should I actually be changing the label of? [13:27] nexsja: so .. what are you trying to do then? [13:27] jackd: all frames in single jpg pic ? [13:27] Ernz: no idea on LUKS. see what the mount command says the device is.. [13:27] Dr_Willis: Reinstall Ubuntu. And saving all my data on other partitions, and saving the mount points [13:27] credobyte: yeah you will have then small thumbnails from each frame on a big jpg [13:27] jackd: try imagemagick's montage command [13:28] jrib: oh cool. ok will check it out. thx [13:28] jackd: ffmpeg -i video.mpg image%d.jpg [13:28] Dr_Willis: /dev/mapper/luks_crypto_a775b2fc-18b1-48a4-8f9a-c70406409570 on /media/disk type ext4 rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal) [13:28] nexsja: if home is on its own partition, you can just tell the installer to not touch your old home.. or perhaps mount it to /oldhome then you can edit the fstab to mount it to /home if you wanted... [13:28] jackd: video format is not that important .. just change the values to what you got there :) [13:28] credobyte: cheers dude. i will combine that with jribs solution :) [13:28] I am trying to open a PDF file (2.3 GB in size) but it says: "Failed to load document" [13:28] guys,have u all heard about broadband "huawei"? [13:29] Ernz: looks like the device name is /dev/mapper/luks_crypto_a775b2fc-18b1-48a4-8f9a-c70406409570 but i know NOTHING about LUKS.. so you may want to research it more. [13:29] jackd: oh, no .. sorry - it'll create a bunch of images, not a single one ( collage ) :D [13:29] I created that pdf file using f-spot and the pdf-print function [13:29] hv [13:29] ; [13:29] ; [13:29] ; [13:29] aaron11: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [13:29] credobyte: yeah thats ok. then i can montage the bunch of images with imagick :) [13:29] Ernz: there is a right click/properties, some tabs to set the mountpoint for some filesystems.. but that 'feature' has goofed up on people befor. [13:29] jackd: (ok) [13:29] Dr_Willis: so... If right now they're just untouched. And they're marked as unused. If i set their filesystem to ext3 and mount point to /home/ - it will stay the same, no harm done? [13:30] s [13:30] gimp the best editor for images? [13:30] aaron11: stop [13:30] !best | server_side [13:30] server_side: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [13:30] testi: 2GB PDF .. space ship FAQ ? [13:30] nexsja: if you tell them to not be formated.. yes.. I think so.. but i always just leave my home partition alone during the install.. so im SURE itd not gettting touched.. then i edit the fstab afterwards to put it where it really belongs. :) but im paranoid. [13:31] server_side: gimp is for image editing... yes.. it can do that quite well. [13:31] hi people, anyone got time to help for a sec? [13:31] !ask [13:31] 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. :-) [13:31] credobyte: just photos, printed into PDF [13:31] trunkX: shoot it out [13:31] Dr_Willis: fstab? [13:32] Ernz: right click onteh drive -> properties -> volume tab -> Settings Item. (but i have heard of those settings goofing up on people befor) [13:32] Dr_Willis: OMFG! That actually worked! HAHAHA! Right click > Properties > Mount Point > "/media/Garfield". I've DC's the HDD and reconnected. Prompted for password, mounted back to Garfield. [13:32] hi guys.. can i install grub without having linux installed? [13:32] nexsja: the /etc/fstab file defines where filesystems get mounted.. [13:32] testi: Evince, Acrobat .. which one ? [13:32] like.. if i would want to use grub for windows only? [13:32] Ernz: I would be CAREFULL with that :) i have had peopl;e inhere ask how to 'undo it' when it goofed up. [13:32] hi how do i secure a simple webpage visit overtop of the existing security that online shops provide, i wish to hide what i visit from prying eyes, its just a single webpage so nothing perminate is necessary [13:32] Dr_Willis: Thanks for your help! Ubuntu FTW yet again. [13:32] Ernz: its an overlooked thing. :) [13:33] what is the name of a program, which takes a long input, and outputs it step by step to the screen? [13:33] Dr_Willis: I like to live dangerously, but I know who's fingers to be breaking if it breaks! [13:33] credobyte: the standard program for ubuntu, i guess that's evince(?) [13:33] Dr_Willis: mmm... okay, they i'll just leave it as is and later on, i hope you'll be here, you can tell me how to do that, okay? :> [13:33] Dr_Willis: Thanks again! Seeya later!

I also read online to try and remove all effects... still no help, anyone got an idea? [13:42] Billy: https://www.ipredator.se or https://www.vpntunnel.co.uk/ (and tons more) are good vpn providers. both work under linux w/o problems. but not for free...

[13:42] VSpike: you would have to ask the guys who write envyng that.. I don't think it installs the "latest" drivers.. just the ones that it was designed to install [13:43] I can't connect to any game servers for tremulous, and I think it's because of something that's adding blocks to my ip tables (http://pastebin.com/m35591166), any way for me to find the culprit that's causing this problem? [13:43] VSpike: if you have to use newer drivers you might be better off installing the ones from the nvidia site [13:43] thanks jackd, its just for some dildos hubby wont mind :) [13:44] Slart, thank you. [13:44] Slart: I guess alberto is probably busy with his new canonical job and his new x-bus project [13:44] Slart: yeah, I've certainly done that in the past... but envy is just a friendlier way of doing it :) [13:44] VSpike: that might be the reason [13:45] while I'm here, has anyone else seen display corruptions like http://picpaste.com/Screenshot_1.png and http://picpaste.com/Screenshot-1.png ?

[13:54] nymphonix: have you installed the padevchooser? "sudo apt-get install padevchooser" will install it for you.. then you can find it in applications, sound & video, pulseaudio device chooser [13:54] Any body expert on EVDO here [13:54] nymphonix: see if it wants to play the sound using the wrong sound card [13:55] Slart, you sure that is not pavucontrol?

"sudo apt-get install pavucontrol" [13:57] Slart, already the newest version is installed on both. [13:57] nymphonix: the device chooser is a small app that lives in the task tray and lets you get to the settings a bit faster.. pa volume control is the app that you can use to change where the sound is being played [13:57] Hello! How can a (network) printer be added in Ubuntu?

I see one output device for "CA0106 - CA0106", which i assume is the SB i need, and Nvidia CK804 [14:00] nymphonix: alright.. but you still don't get any sound? [14:01] coz_: I can't even follow the instructions there: I can't select "Settings" in the Server menu of Printer configuration because that point is disabled ... IIRC this used to work a month ago, but now it doesn't ... [14:01] Slart, nope. if i do the "log out" then I at least hear the drum sounds. so i know it's not the speakers and the sound card is installed properly and snug. [14:01] it has a bad habit of coming loose if i move the tower around. [14:02] I need to launch Grub from CD, so i can boot windows and linux, but without a bootloader on the harddisk [14:02] how can i do that? [14:02] nymphonix: ok.. try opening a terminal and run this command "aplay /dev/urandom", you might want to lower the volume on your speakers or similar first.. it will make some random noise which can be quite loud if the volume is turned up [14:03] hey guys --- I have the latest version of Ubuntu and the latest flash plugin, but I'm still having YouTube slowdowns in full-screen. I also read online to try and remove all effects... still no help, anyone got an idea? [14:04] Slart, i hear that. static noise. [14:04] trunkX: I have never been able to play full screen youtube movies with ubuntu.. not sure if it's because I'm on 64bit or if it's just adobe being bad [14:04] nymphonix: alright.. then it's probably the app that is configured wrong.. what app are you trying to get sound from? [14:05] well right now it's rhythmbox for mp3s. but i also just tried using generic movie player for an .avi [14:05] just to test if it was application specific. [14:05] well, I'm actually not on 64bit so it's supposed to be running well, afaik [14:06] someguy-: I think you can make a bootable Grub CD, well floppys can be made that's for sure [14:06] nymphonix: try starting that app again and see if it shows up in the pulseaudio volume control [14:06] someguy-: as for the details on how to do that I don't know, but a Google should bring it up [14:06] meh [14:06] hmm kay [14:06] Hello [14:07] can i install ubuntu 9.04 server version on a normal pc ? [14:07] jacky_bro: yes [14:08] Slart, rhythmbox is running right now and playing an .mp3, but when i open up the PA audio control, i don't see anything. in the "Playback" tab all I see is system sounds.

[16:36] crunchbang666: it depends on what is in the fike [16:36] crunchbang666: Usually you unzip them, then look for a file "README" or "INSTALL", then open that file with a text editor and read it. [16:36] *file [16:36] crunchbang666: linux packages coming as .zip hmmm ,but you would extract them [16:36] jeah i double checked that [16:36] Evet: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [16:36] I had ubuntu 9.04 installed. I dual booted Vista. Now it loads striaght into Vista without giving me a boot menu. Someone help me get that menu so I can boot into Ubuntu again [16:36] crunchbang666: you will need to unzip them using somthing like 7zip [16:36] crunchbang666: what are you trying to install?

[16:37] jrib: stendhal ...mmorpg [16:37] Thank Paavi2_0 [16:37] crunchbang666: indeed, once you unzip the file there will be a text file called INSTALL follow the insturctions there and let us know if you get stuck [16:37] JenniferB: /path/to/script [16:37] thanks [16:38] is there no way to put each workspace in gnome on a different screen??

[16:39] detrix: ok :) [16:39] kosz: you could try aptitude search dav [16:40] kosz: apt-cache search [16:40] dare: I did something similar to that but when i put setup (hd0, 1) it said it wasnt able to mount partition or something to that affect [16:40] does ubuntu support amd phenom processors?

[16:42] Sirisian|Work_: yes. you might want to tweak the configuration to select nearby servers, but it works well "out of the box". === tommy is now known as Guest51343 [16:42] dare, that should probably be a default install. I kept thinking ntpdate was the ntp package and kept getting confused.

[16:44] rave: try another player [16:44] grawity: ok i have it all up in terminal unzipped [16:44] PhotoJim: Windows supports PAE, and the 4 GB is just an artificial cap. (Mostly compatibility reasons, but also a little marketing.) As for Ubuntu, I heard only the server kernel has it? [16:45] dare, try replacing the battery in the motherboard it shouldnt be losing time.

[16:45] Somethings wrong with my Display menu can anyone help? [16:45] and i think it is normal when the cpu is very busy for long periods [16:45] grawity: what is the extract command i need please? :) [16:45] dare, it keeps the system settings. [16:45] grawity: the bigmem kernel has that compiled in [16:45] crunchbang666: Simply 'unzip' [16:45] kdub: But not the default one? [16:45] not the default [16:46] PhotoJim: I heard some apps just crash with >4 GB [16:46] thanks again Pici [16:46] will there be any complications running 64-bit ubuntu like compatability issues like windows has? [16:46] grawity: you're probably exceeding my knowledge now :) but I haven't heard of that being an issue with 64-bit operating systems. can't comment on the trickery used to use higher amounts of RAM on 32-bit OSes. [16:46] hi. I need to format an ext3 partition from livecd and create other 4 partitions: /boot, swap, / and /home. The problem is that gparted live can't see the partition. How can I do that?

[16:47] grawity: unzip just lists the contents of the zip file in the terminal, how do i move them to a folder? :/ [16:47] dreamborn, i don't recommend it unless necessary [16:47] PhotoJim: I mean, it doesn't matter if it's WIndows 32-bit or 64-bit. [16:47] crunchbang666: Does it say 'inflating: somefile'?

[16:47] dare: would i be able to use 32 bit with a amd phenom processor then? [16:47] grawity: I'd be surprised if it were true. but I know that large amounts of RAM aren't an issue with Linux, particularly if you use a 64-bit distribution. [16:48] grawity: no ... think i got it [16:48] dreamborn, sure [16:48] dare: coolio thanx [16:48] Can anyone help me? My Ubuntu 9,04 display Menu won't open correctly and I am trying to configure my screens [16:49] PhotoJim: It might be that Unix programmers want it to work _right_, not just work. Windows programmers, on the other hand... http://blogs.msdn.com/oldnewthing/ is a nice place to see what does Microsoft have to deal with. [16:49] I cant remote my lapop from my pc: always tells me connetion closed.... firewall is not the problem, vnc server running on both machines... [16:49] any ideas, pls [16:49] grawity: :) I'm a little less cynical than most about Windows development. but I am a big fan of open source software precisely because of how well tested it tends to be.

I need to format an ext3 partition from livecd and create other 4 partitions: /boot, swap, / and /home. The problem is that gparted live can't see the partition. How can I do that? [16:51] HOW to get info about file ? [16:51] PhotoJim: Mostly because it's open - everybody can report bugs and stuff. Microsoft had a contact/bug report form once, but they were receiving too much "IT DOESN'T WORK" complaints, death threats, etc... (well, low signal/noise ratio) [16:52] grawity: unquestionably open source works well, as long as you can motivate enough people to do development, and that doesn't seem to be an issue.

I have tried a manual compile but this also fails with libpc [16:53] er to use the deb from karmic as it would make package removal and things much easier.

When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [17:23] does the system crash when you turn up the volume? [17:24] sometimes [17:24] hi to make a backup should I just copy all the /home folder or also smt else? [17:24] where does firefox and evolution save the settings and the messages? [17:24] Unless you've modified anything else, /home should do. [17:25] bahh: ~/.mozilla, IIRC. [17:25] bahh: /etc might be a good one to backup too [17:25] ~/.gnupg [17:25] I'm pulling my hair out here. Does anyone know about issues with USB mice and Ubuntu 8.04? [17:26] then once reinstalled what should I do? [17:26] Is there any reason I would want to run a previous release of Ubuntu, rather than Jaunty? [17:26] fahadsadah: what about my email messages from evolution? [17:27] !lts | donnybrasco [17:27] donnybrasco: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Hardy (Hardy Heron 8.04). The next LTS release is scheduled to be 10.04 [17:27] Avast found a virus on my Ubuntu jaunty system: Win32:Adloader-AC...help please! [17:27] donnybrasco: If you don't like updating every six months, instead preferring a two-year cycle, stick to the LTS releases like Hardy. Otherwise, use Jaunty. [17:27] I've got it installed on a generic Dell desktop computer, and the USB mouse keeps freezing up, like it is losing connectivity. I've tried several mice, all with the same result. So I have to reboot my system every five minutes. Anyone have a clue? [17:27] ok how keep from getting mouses mixed up ?? (got 3 on my desktop now) [17:28] Hi there all!! I wish to know: 1. if kernel-ppa images (2.6.31 to be more exact) contains backports-modules. 2. and, if dont where can I find the patch to apply them to kernel-ppa 2.6.31 sources? [17:28] did you have problem under windows RednkJedi? [17:28] majnoon: put two of them away? [17:28] No, I didn't have the problem under windows. [17:28] running 3 computers [17:28] And I've had the problem with two versions of Ubuntu now [17:29] so does that mean that Hardy may run better on my system, considering that it's the current LTS version? [17:29] RednkJedi: might be your USB chipset. What chipset is it? [17:29] RednkJedi: lspci to find out. [17:29] okay, I asked because some dell desktops are known to have buggy support for usb mice (they only work in certain usb ports) [17:29] majnoon: use a kvm switch and put two of them away? [17:29] fahadsadah: anything else important to save? [17:29] bahh, you have to copy the contents of firefoxes profile folder, and then just replace them (after reinstall) [17:29] the extra mouses and keyboards CHEAPER :) [17:29] * LordLandon chews on fahadsadah [17:29] !lts [17:29] LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Hardy (Hardy Heron 8.04). The next LTS release is scheduled to be 10.04 [17:30] No clue cello - not sure how to find out under Linux - it's been ten years since I've done anything serious, just getting back into the game. It is a Samba server, but i'm trying to add some other stuff, so I need the mouse. :) [17:30] !trl [17:30] Sorry, I don't know anything about trl [17:30] nexsja: ok... I just need to find those folders [17:30] majnoon: sounds annoying I get confused enough with a laptop near my desktop [17:30] 2 desktops and 1 laptop [17:31] jrib: know anything about viruses? [17:31] bahh, for firefox it's ~/.mozilla/firefox/xxxxxx.default where xxxx -random letters and numbers [17:31] mechtech: no [17:31] bahh, for evolution i dunno, i prefer thunderbird [17:31] oh that's interesting.. my problem with being unable to see files/directories on an ntfs partition created under ubuntu in windows only applies to xp, i can see them under win7 [17:31] My ubuntu 9.04 crashes with apparently no particular reasons, it randomly happens, the only thing i can do is to move the cursor on the screen === ubuntu_ is now known as wipeout140 [17:31] nexsja: k I use both.... but how can I find my messages? I have no previous backup of them [17:31] MircoPaperino, did you try running it in safe mode and see what happens? [17:32] any help for viruses? [17:32] got this while doing an update: E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. [17:32] E: _cache->open() failed, please report. [17:32] hi, what's the best way to install versions of software that are currently not in the repository? Is there something like debian testing for bleeding edge packages? What's a good way to do it? Manually? Are there special sources (I'm running 9.04)? [17:32] what does it mean? [17:32] yes nexsja it crashes in safe mode too [17:33] bahh, afaik Evolution offers you to back up all your data, at least i got that from starting it up right now and it offered me to restore everything. So... I guess just search around Evolution itself :> [17:33] MircoPaperino, For i'd be easier just to reinstall :> [17:33] MircoPaperino, it's only takes _reinstall-time_ + 10 minutes :> or so [17:33] jrib: how to remove a directory and all of its contents using command-line? [17:33] nexsja: ok but right now I can't access my installation. I'm on livecd. That's the problem. I had a grub error 18 so I decided to reformat [17:34] mechtech: rm -rf [17:34] !cli > mechtech [17:34] mechtech, please see my private message [17:34] borkasten, just ./configure if neccessary, make and make install.. [17:34] ups [17:34] bahh, okay, wait a second, i'll see what i can find :> [17:34] brotkasten, install from source [17:35] bahh, http://embraceubuntu.com/2005/12/03/how-to-backup-evolution/ might this be helpful? [17:35] dare: sorry never did that (i'm relativle new to ubuntu) ... that means get the source code and compile it myself or is there a ubuntu way to do it? [17:35] test [17:36] yes, just follow the commands in INSTALL [17:36] hi [17:36] got to admit the mouse thing is SORTA on topic [17:37] majnoon: not really... [17:37] i said SORTA [17:37] majnoon: I said "not really..." :) [17:38] dare: sorry, yes, compile it myself or yes, there's an ubuntu way? [17:38] (but not just linux one ) [17:38] no, just compile it [17:38] dare: ok thanks [17:38] nexsja: it is helpful. I'm gonna try it asap [17:38] maybe go see what #windows says [17:38] nexsja: Any other things to backup in you opinion? [17:38] i AM bored :) [17:39] bahh, I'd suggest splitting your hdd into partitions and creating a mount point under /home [17:39] so you won't have to worry about backup before reinstalling [17:39] nexsja: yeah I will do it [17:40] nexsja: I will create 4 partitions: /boot for grub, swap, / and /home [17:40] bahh, why do you need one for grub? [17:40] nexsja: because I don't want error 18 to happen again [17:40] nexsja: where should I create it? Before the / one? [17:41] bahh: if you love your data (or just need it) back it up before installing ... especially if you play around with fdisk and partitions [17:41] bahh, um... error 18 sounds terrifying :D [17:41] bahh, afaik the order doesn't matter [17:41] hi, has anyone successfully integrated bogofilter with qmail on a per dot qmail file basis? [17:41] nexsja: well it is terrible :/ [17:42] ive got a custom PS1 prompt, and the various terminals (xterm, gnome-terminal, urxvt) go back to the beginning of the current line, starting to overwrite what i wrote. any fix to this? [17:42] brotkasten: I just need to mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda5 and then resize it with gparted. Do you think that also the other partitions will be affected? [17:42] hello all. I want to install a VNC server on my server, but I dont want it to be running X server on the local server all the time, is it possible to do this? [17:43] bahh, i guess. In any case, i did only 3 mount points. /, /home and swap... There's another one, /var/www that's a bit useless now that i know that i'll be wiped on every reinstall.. so... :> never mind that :> [17:44] nexsja: damn do you really think I should backup all the drive? [17:44] jrib: thanks, you have quelled my fears...apparently there is only one known linux-compatible virus...bliss...since I have already uninstalled virtualbox, I am just going to remove the directory and all of its contents since that's where the infection is...thanks again :) [17:45] bahh, nope, not really, just the /home dir where all the configs are [17:45] how come ubuntu comes with 10pt fonts, it's too big!!! [17:45] mechtech: k [17:45] Any idea why my gigabit realtek ethernet controller works at only 100baseTx? ubuntu 9.04 [17:45] sufferer: system -> preferences -> appearance [17:45] i agree, 9pt should be default [17:45] is it connected to a slower NIC? [17:45] jrib: it should be a bug on gnome bugzilla [17:46] sufferer: go for it [17:46] Pinco, it's connected to gigabit switch [17:47] how do you notice the speed it operate? [17:48] Pinco, because maximum speed is 12MB/sec, mii-tool tells it's 100basetx and gigabit indicator is dim on the switc [17:48] hi, i'm having a prob trying to ssh to my vps. for some reason i can't initiate a new ssh session, I keep getting a connection refused message. [17:49] But it hasn't kicked me out of the session i already have open [17:49] so, where can i look to see why is the connection being refused, already tried looking at /var/log/auth.log and there isn't anything [17:49] !admin share [17:50] Sorry, I don't know anything about admin share [17:50] CamonZ: How about /var/log/syslog? /etc/hosts.deny? [17:50] grawity nothing on syslog [17:50] !map network drive [17:50] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [17:50] let me check hosts.deny [17:50] !msgthebot | slim_penguin [17:50] slim_penguin: Please investigate with me only with "/msg ubottu Bot" or in #ubuntu-bots. Search for factoids with "/msg ubottu !search factoid". [17:50] CamonZ: can you verify that there is an ssh daemon listening on the other end? might be it got turned off after your first login. [17:51] CamonZ: Yeah, what sipior said - sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart [17:51] hosts.deny looks default [17:52] i have a windows machine on my home network that i'd like to access. is there an article on how to connect to it and share files between it and my 8.10 laptop? [17:52] grawity already did that a few mins ago. plus another one of the admins can log in fine [17:52] so i guess it has something to do with my ip [17:53] but i haven't been able to find anything related to being blacklisted either by sshd or iptables [17:53] ? [17:53] Hi there ubuntu dudes, can anyone tell me of a graphics editor capable of handling and saving .cbr (corel draw) files? [17:53] slim_penguin, I believe if you do a "sudo apt-get install samba" then restarted your system, it would work in the Network thing in Places [17:53] i even started sshd with -ddd to see a full debug trace, my connection attempt isn't even being recorded [17:53] prappl93, sweet i'll try it [17:54] hi, is there anyone familiar with the grub 2 syntaxes over here?> [17:54] B3g1nn3r, am afraid there is none! [17:54] Nooo! [17:54] Thanks a lot for answering though, Matic [17:54] is there a command to "show desktop" that I could use with easystroke? [17:54] Kuifje111: toevallig verstand van grub2?

[18:06] ah yes, almost made a mistake thanks sebsebseb [18:06] Pici, done [18:06] sorry I had 2 copies of xchat running [18:07] CW|Office: by the way good idea to check your ISO, to make sure you have a good download [18:07] !md5sum | CW|Office [18:07] CW|Office: To verify the integrity of a download, use the md5sum - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM for more [18:07] CW|Office: no probs [18:07] How do I check if my OpenOffice is up to date?

[18:09] CW|Office: wow [18:09] CW|Office: normalley Debian or I think Redhat, but Ubuntu server will do what you want [18:09] MaNU_: you shouldn't have to do anything special: wget url [18:10] additionally, after that, I have a constant 1/4 cpu usage, but can't seem to find what is using the process time [18:10] good morning everyone, anyone know the webpage for ubuntu supported games? [18:10] still they want to use 2k8 but i'm really hearing alot of good things about ubuntu server [18:10] graelin: are you sure it works this way? [18:10] graelin: you'll want a bigger block size, and you should use the "count" directive as well.

[18:18] what did you last do before you noticed it gone? [18:19] Why they cannot build good drivers for Mobile Intel® 915GM/GMS, 910GML Express Chipset Family in Ubuntu is it SO difficult? [18:19] Besogon: yea [18:19] raulh: theres no system monitor in preferences :P [18:19] !intel | VegaStar [18:19] VegaStar: 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. [18:19] raulh: yes and redhat and win VIsta but no ubuntu [18:19] raulh: oh nvm... its in administration [18:19] it's system monitor in administration, sorry. [18:19] CW|Office: there are disk copying programs similar to Norton Ghost for Linux as well, so you can easilly install the same stuff on each computer, but I don't really know about it [18:19] CW|Office: since I haven't used [18:19] Bu, the boot loader seems to be screwed up.. [18:20] you could try adding the partition back into the grub bootloader, if that's still the main one. === GodFather_ is now known as GodFather [18:20] raulh: well i checked the menu.lst and it just showes the memtest and other Os's [18:20] Why is "Free The Fish" written into Ubuntu as well as "apt-get moo" and all the "aptitude moo" things [18:21] then i think redhat decided to take over.. [18:21] prappl93: it's part of GNOME, not just Ubuntu [18:21] prappl93: so they are part of upstream? [18:21] prappl93: since not so [18:21] the 8.04 doesn't detect my wireless card on the desktop, but the 9:04 does [18:22] i'm experimenting as i go along :) [18:22] hey im using alien -i to install an rpm package but its not allowing me to create a folder (unable to mkdir krb5-devel-1.7) what should i do? [18:22] CW|Office: did u try backports? [18:22] to make a backup I just need to copy the entire /home folder and the /etc one? [18:22] any other thing? [18:22] cw:office yeah same here.. [18:22] :( i got no idea what a backport is [18:22] i had to use ndiswrapper ^^ it's included in the cd. [18:22] i'm relatively new to ubuntu [18:22] :) but i'm learning [18:23] I've used it on/off for about 2 years lol. [18:23] I am teaching myself as I go along [18:23] any idea? [18:23] CW|Office: google it or look it up on package manager under system admin. [18:23] CW|Office: and 9.10 released at the end of October, gets the much faster when it comes to booting Ext4 file system by default, but for full support people have to clean install, since the Ext3 to Ext4 conersion won't be good enough [18:23] CW|Office: conversion above [18:23] baah, i dont think that will work as a "backup" [18:23] hello people [18:24] if you install the same apps, like firefox, it randomizes your profile, so you'd need to adapt it to the new one. [18:24] so you suggest i go with the 9.04 for desktop? [18:24] i'm on 8.xx [18:24] bu, Easer way for you it reinstall ubuntu (because in another hand you would have to learn "How to make Linux boot CD" and search your way to install kernel from live CD to hard disk) [18:24] but i suggest you do what you like :), 8.10 is easier to learn the file system. [18:24] 8.04 is LTC [18:25] !lts [18:25] LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Hardy (Hardy Heron 8.04). The next LTS release is scheduled to be 10.04 [18:25] !jaunty [18:25] Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) is the current release of Ubuntu.

Torrents for other Ubuntu flavours can be found at: http://it.releases.ubuntu.com/ (CD) or http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases (DVD). [18:26] hey guys is "doom3" free for ubuntu?? [18:26] CW|Office: I woudn't just recommend 9.04 for desktops [18:26] CW|Office: for a business [18:26] is there a network installation disk for ubuntu.. or can i copy the contents of the disk to another partition and install from there? [18:26] my cd rom is breaking down... so, I need some other method [18:26] ok i'm going with the lts [18:26] CW|Office: 9.10 could be worth waiting for before doing a desktop deployment [18:26] Doed anyone here know how to make ekiga play well with JACk on Ubuntu Studio (or indeed standard Ubuntu)? [18:26] !install | cheetahw26 [18:26] cheetahw26: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues - Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [18:26] you can dowloade from ubbuntu.com [18:26] Cheetahw, usb? [18:26] would anyone know if its possible to suppress filesystem mount messages from appearing in the kernel log? === kronix[JAP] is now known as kronix [18:27] Besogon: am considering that, but the ubuntu and its partition and data inside it are still there its just missing some parts that wont let it boot.. i want to check if there is some way 1st i dont wana earse it if possible [18:27] i wish... kind of older laptop, can't boot from usb.. [18:27] considering i use ubuntu, what of these should i download? http://www.rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=krb5-devel [18:27] yes i see what you mean [18:27] hmm... Cheetahw, try a network boot? [18:27] anyone connect to irc through proxy ? [18:27] or a floppy disk to force point it to the usb? [18:27] CW|Office: yeah 8.04 is alright, and I think they don't just update it with security updates, plus it's got another two years or so on the desktop left of support [18:27] cheetahw26: Those links from ubottu should explain everything you need. [18:27] anyone have ubuntu run on tablet [18:27] geoff, its asily possible but this isn't a place to ask for that. [18:28] sebsebseb: 8.04 is LTS and does get security updates. [18:28] bu, !backup [18:28] !backup [18:28] 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 [18:28] Pici: yes I know, but does it get anything else that isn't a security update as well? [18:28] raulh, you know where i could get help [18:28] CW|Office: i agree with sebsebseb ... unless you don't need a newer kernel to suport some hardware you'll want LTS releases for the office... you don't want to upgrade every 6 months, and you don't want to be the guinea pig for new features in an office environment [18:28] * CW|Office races to download 8.04 :) [18:28] sebsebseb: No. [18:28] Besogon: what backup? [18:28] raulh, you got a link maybe [18:28] Well, i don't know freenode so i can't help you on finding a room lol. [18:29] CW|Office: yeah these other releases can be nice, but for stability you want LTS really [18:29] georff_bo, settings->preference-s>network->network setup in xchat [18:29] dare i know that but tried a few proxies and they dont seem to work [18:30] is there a "newbie" ubuntu IRc chat channel? I have a few FTP command line questions :D TIA [18:30] they don't seem to work = blacklisted from the irc server? [18:30] CW|Office: the other advantage of LTS is you can just upgrade it to the next LTS [18:30] I feel really bad asking this, I don't know how to google my problem [18:30] I have recently bought a gamepad [18:30] Storph: this IS the newbie channel :-) [18:30] but the joysticks only register half the range of motion [18:30] geoff: i sent you a pm..

So how will your comutewr boot without it? Just reinstall ubuntu. (it consumes 30 min no more) [18:32] besogon: my ubuntu installed in under 7minutes :) [18:32] is it possible to have CRON watch a folder on my system for changes, and when a change is made to any files or folders, upload the changes on our FTP site? our FTP host will not let me use Rsync [18:32] geoff_bo, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TOR [18:32] oblenob: in any case of hardware as a rule of thumb: google make, model and add ubuntu ... [18:32] hey i need a package but its only RPM... what should i do? http://www.rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=krb5-devel [18:33] CW|Office: may be worth doing a clean install on all the computers, when 10.04 comes out April 2010, since it's the next LTS, plus then Ext4 should be rather reliable in Ubuntu [18:33] stefg: I would do that, but the thing was so cheap there is no model or make name on the product, or even the box [18:33] oblenob: see lsusb if you don't know what kind of gamepad you have [18:33] and it seems to be with all joysticks [18:33] Besogon: am not sure actually what ive removed i deselected a package and by default it removed another attached ones but anyhow i will google it for a bit and if i found any results that worked i will let you know otherwise i will reinstall it... anyways thanks alot [18:33] hi guys how do i locate a certain file in bash searching in all places? [18:34] raulh, I have got anctient computer :) [18:34] CW|Office: or do a conversion for partial suport maybe [18:34] blognewb: locate ... duh [18:34] ltcabral, the only way to see if it's compatible with debian-based configurations is to install it [18:34] http://www.google.com/search?q=ubuntu+install+rp [18:34] rpm* [18:34] stefg: ooh, thanks [18:34] stefg: I like that command [18:34] Besogon: i have an old emachines W3644 my other ancient computer that had win95 took 15 min's w/o the updating and stuff.

[18:36] yancho: try alt+f2 then type xterm -e alsamixer [18:36] blognewb: you might need a 'sudo updatedb' run if the file is fresh, and maybe a sudo locate to look in places where only root has access [18:36] yancho, which driver did you select? [18:36] ltcabral: Is there a package in the Ubuntu repositories that is requiring that? [18:37] stefg: i did that, nothing appeared [18:37] Hi guys! [18:38] via 8237 alsa support [18:38] raulh, ha.

[19:06] jrib: I did as you said and starts ubuntu normally, but it is still a white screen [19:06] ? [19:06] should i use ext3 or ext4 for 9.04? [19:06] Nobody? :( [19:06] !lock [19:06] Sorry, I don't know anything about lock [19:07] mikefletcher85, its up to you [19:07] !aptfix | surgy [19:07] surgy: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » [19:07] mikefletcher85, i use ext4 and its fast [19:07] [Jaunty]anyone running nvidia binary driver + flash able to play youtube properly in fullscreen? i have tried all drivers - repo driver and the latest nvidia driver downloaded off nvidia's website. fullscreen flash playback stutters badly.

[19:09] hey guys, ive noticed my ubuntu has taken a tole on my audio card.. the sound is really lower then it should be any solutions? [19:10] joeyeye: it doesn't. The first screen loads and immediately I get "Grub loading stage 1.5. Grub loading please wait... error 17" [19:11] is there a program that will create an ext4 partition in windows? [19:11] raulh: open the mixer and adjust the PCM, main and front-L/R levels .... usually the Master only effects Main [19:11] mikefletcher85: what does that mean exactly? [19:11] it's all maxed, it still really low. [19:11] magical_walrus: what is your username? [19:11] i was looking to create a ext4 partition in windows before installing ubuntu [19:11] mikefletcher85: why? The installer lets you create partitions. Just free up some space [19:12] can i use my windows wireless driver for Ubuntu????????? [19:12] jonex_: yes, but you should try to avoid doing so [19:12] !wifi > jonex_ [19:12] jonex_, please see my private message [19:12] raulh: check in the terminal by running alsamixer [19:12] oh, ok it was the "front" one it was turned down, thanks for the advice. [19:13] well i have 2 partitons already (100gb for windows 7, 100gb for windows xp) and i have 100gb free. But when i ran through the installer when it asked me to set up the partition it looked like it was going to override my windows xp partition [19:13] Feasinde: boot from the livecd, mount the drive you installed ubuntu to, and then sudo grub and then find /boot/grub/menu.lst [19:13] joeyeye: very well. Gimme a minute. [19:13] mikefletcher, try running the paritioner, and make the free space ext3/4 [19:15] Anybody know why i cant have compiz turned on with Wine Programs (Esp Steam, but mostly everything)? [19:15] because it's not stable yet? [19:15] raulh, what isn't stable? [19:16] c-f? [19:16] mikefletcher85: and try not to use the automatic partitioner... it's quite stupid. If you have 100G free i'd use 10-20G for / (root) some swap (size of RAM+10%) then rest for /home ... makes plumbing and upgrading/rfeinstalling easier [19:16] Ah, ok - is the any faster way to turn it off when running something? [19:16] Like could i have it set up like witha button? [19:16] I'm quite new so i don't know sorry dant2. [19:17] dant2: Install fusion-icon, it will let you easily toggle whether compiz is running.

[19:56] (trying to help drained) [19:56] linux fdisk [19:56] cardg00, fdisk -l /dev/sda where sda is the first scsi / sata disk [19:57] magical_walrus_: can you get to a console? i guess the settings are in your xorg.conf [19:57] i've seen online that lots of people have been having issues with their sound with the realtek ac'97 onboard sound [19:57] thanx [19:57] bitplane: Yes. [19:57] in Recovery mode, though [19:57] OMG! I got my printer to work!!!! [19:57] After two years! [19:57] lol [19:57] is anyone familiar with sshfs? I want to automount a ssh connection @ Startup. [19:58] magical_walrus_: try commenting out the driver lines, also make a backup before you edit the file [19:58] Ok. [19:58] hi [19:59] aaroninfidel: i think a better solution would be to maybe use fstab [19:59] :) [19:59] ok, i solved my problem with the resolution, but I had to uninstall the proprietary driver. anybody know why this is? === coleys_ is now known as coleys [19:59] i have a problem with the Fn-Keys (of my laptop) can u help me? [20:00] aaroninfidel: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=430312 looks promising sorry im not on my linux box atm or id try it for ya with a quick mount -a [20:00] crap, i'd almost be willing to give somebody twenty bucks to take a hammer to my router [20:00] magical_walrus: ewww.. radeon.. got the radeon drivers installed? [20:00] Where is xorg.conf located? [20:01] magical_walrus: /etc/X11 [20:01] highlordobsi: whats the matter lol? [20:01] magical_walrus, /etc/X11/xorg.conf [20:01] magical_walrus: /etc/X11/ but by default no longer generated [20:01] every few minutes it cuts out for a second [20:01] Does anyone have TwinView set up [20:01] How can I pipe the output of one program into another? (ie pipe the output of a cat query into apt-get for the purposes of removing all packages installed today) [20:01] woot! thunderbird worked, thanks for the help SEJeff, welex :) [20:02] TwoToneSpirit: could do something like apt-get install $(somecommand) [20:02] Is there any way to use icons embedded in executables to show in the menu? Basically, if I look at an executable through Nutilus, it has an icon but I don't know how to pull that icon into "applications" menu. [20:02] any EVDO Expert [20:02] which isn't a problem for browsing, but it sucks nurds for chat [20:02] TwoToneSpirit: wrong way to express the concept. Consider 'man xargs'. [20:02] bitplane: I don't see anything about drivers or effects in xorg.conf [20:02] does anyone know how to dump the mbr to a file? [20:02] pepperjack: No dice - it seems to interpret the command itself [20:02] using linux ? [20:02] TwoToneSpirit: OR just pipe like | xargs -i apt-get install {} where {} is the piped output [20:02] Walex: checking [20:02] bitplane, You'll find quickly that tbird is a much better mail client. Tbird 2.x is slow with imap though. If you use tbird 3.0, the imap support and entire app is much faster [20:02] maybe using dd or something ? [20:02] or even cat ? [20:02] TwoToneSpirit: for the specific application cnsider using 'aptitude' it has amazing filtering abilities. [20:03] tbird is my email client of choice [20:03] SEJeff, I actually mostly use GMail online and only use Evolution to send signed/encrypted emails. I may give thunderbird a try though [20:03] Walex: I love aptitude in theory, but it tends to overwhelm me. I'll give it another go right now. [20:03] hi guys. Stupid question.but why does flash not work on ubuntu ? anyone can help> [20:03] TwoToneSpirit: the doc page is very informative. [20:03] i mean youtub [20:04] TwoToneSpirit: especially the 'l' command specs. [20:04] TwoToneSpirit: could strip the newlines and replace with a hex 20 between results :) or a for loop.. [20:04] install all your packages first === root is now known as Guest76658 [20:04] looks like I might be in the market to replace my ipod, are there any mp3 players that play nicer with ubuntu anymore? [20:04] zune [20:04] ihave flash player 10.r22 installed [20:04] Guest76658: your jokeing right? [20:04] How cano turn off desktop ef [20:04] nope [20:04] i know you guys must hate this questrion. [20:04] ok, i solved my problem with the resolution, but I had to uninstall the proprietary driver. anybody know why this is? [20:04] sebsebseb: I hope he is :) [20:04] but I really would like some advice [20:04] hi there [20:04] I can't print anymore with my S20, use ubuntu 8.04, Have this printer working with a 9.04 hp laptop. Tested with 9.04 on the same desktop, to no avail. [20:04] rhpot1991: Cowon sell good stuff, and they have OGG/Vorbis and FLAC support :) [20:05] Walex: I'll try to swallow the doc page at some point, but I usually learn better by starting with a few examples and then filling in with the docs. Do yo, for example, know how to sort packages by date installed in aptitude? [20:05] bitplane, Take a look at using prism for gmail then. It makes gmail seem like a desktop application. I use it for gmail [20:05] I get this stupid message JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player. [20:05] install java with firefox instead [20:05] how can i turn off desktop Effects via shell [20:05] sebsebseb: thanks, I'll have a look at what they have to offer [20:05] hmm...lets see if i can find some open source drivers or something for my wireless adapter [20:06] rhpot1991: ok :) [20:06] Has anyone experienced problems with the Epson S20 ? [20:06] !cups | isabelle [20:06] isabelle: Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows [20:07] ! flash | isabelle [20:07] isabelle: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [20:07] already asked the cups channel, but there not much people there, and had no answers [20:07] isabelle: Lexmark is usaully a problem it seems, Epson not sure about, Dell and HP I think have good Linux support [20:07] Package 'flashplugin-installer' is already installed [20:07] but it does not work! [20:08] Can someone please answer my question? [20:08] hello dudes [20:08] magical_walrus: don't know via the shell, but via the GUI system > preferences > apperance and put none [20:08] isabelle: Did you check linuxprinting.org? [20:08] The fact is that it was working and it's been 10 days that's its not working anymore [20:08] anyone know how to setup subversion? [20:08] isabelle: linuxprinting.org used to be a very useful site. i havent used it in last year or so [20:08] isabelle: What'd you do 10 days ago? [20:09] nothing, not even an update [20:09] sebsebseb: I cannot access the gui [20:09] thats what puzzles me [20:09] isabelle: odd. [20:09] Shaun, yes? for a local user? [20:09] isabelle: got another computer around to test the printer on? or Windows on dual boot to test with? [20:09] or a server? [20:09] magical_walrus: why not? [20:09] isabelle: Honestly, I just stick with printers known to work perfectly in linux. but I've been using linux long enough that all my hardware has been picked for linux. [20:10] Id tested it with ubuntu 9.04 64 on a laptop. worked fine at first try [20:10] yay! i have an ubuntu proof wireless adapter [20:10] HighLordObsi: So do I. [20:10] isabelle: ok so the printer itself isn't broken [20:10] Sebsebseb: desktop effects seems to have chased my [20:10] HighLordObsi: Actually, mine is OS-proof. [20:10] Caused* [20:10] lol [20:10] What debug command could I use to trace the issue ? [20:11] HighLordObsi: My laptop was recalled due to mobo issues.. but I wasn't aware until the warranty ran out. :P [20:11] Caused my installation to give a white screen [20:11] canthus: Nice!!\ [20:11] TwoToneSpirit: Double checking I think that 'aptitude' cannot select by installation date/time. I wonder what can. [20:11] I need to turn off desktop effects via shell [20:11] hi! Is there anyone who has soundblaster (laptop) where it's working! [20:11] magical_walrus: did you install graphics card driver recently? [20:11] HighLordObsi: hence, I have a perfectly good minipcie wireless card that does nothing but take up space. [20:11] hey guys anyone know why my netgear wireless router is able to be used for the wireless, however when i plug my linksys wireless router in, it doesn't find the signal [20:11] TwoToneSpirit: checking the DPKG docs it cannot either. [20:12] and of course using the connect to hidden WTF do i do? xD [20:12] Okay HUGE problem with Ubuntu, I installed 9.04, did my updates, then activated my ATI drivers and when I rebooted I have NO GUI [20:12] shaun_: Bad router? [20:12] sebsebseb: Yes, today [20:12] just the commandline [20:12] shaun_: Or maybe your linksys is set to not broadcast ssid? [20:12] my Ubuntu doesn't load the desktop anymore [20:12] i have a belkin and apparently they are windows nazis [20:12] magical_walrus: which graphics card? [20:12] not bad router [20:12] HighLordObsi: Belkin stinks. [20:12] linksys router cost me a arm and leg [20:12] shaun_: id login to the router using a wired connection and check broadcast ssid and stuff. [20:12] Raenr: ATI drivers from where? [20:12] i didn't buy it...my wife did [20:12] I use 2x ATI 3870 [20:13] Sebsebseb: radeon I believe [20:13] so it needs to broadcast ssid? [20:13] shaun_: there should also be a small reset button you can hold it to take back to factory default [20:13] HighLordObsi: have you tried ndiswrapper ? [20:13] *thinks wtf you're on about* [20:13] HighLordObsi: We regularly toss belkin routers off our network due them liking to suddenly start tossing out thosands of DHCP requests an hour. [20:13] fdisk says [20:13] Re-reading the partition table failed with error 16: Device or resource is busy [20:13] shaun_: Yes. [20:13] !language | shaun_ [20:13] shaun_: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [20:13] Im having a very similar problem to Raenr [20:13] ahh sorry dudes [20:13] Yar [20:13] yarrr [20:13] i ran this command from terminal (ubuntu 9.04) and got a blank document, is that normal? "sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst" [20:13] Flloder001 tried to DCC me a file or virus, who should I notify? [20:13] i'll look into the ssid broadcasting stuffs [20:13] (withoug my warning) [20:13] ty guys [20:14] magical_walrus Raenr both of you do the recovery mode from Grub the bootloader and do an xfix, that should take care of your issue I think [20:14] ATI Radeon 3870 Crossfired, when I activated drivers and rebooted it won't load the gui/desktop [20:14] shaun_: It's usually in the main wireless setup page on the router. [20:14] (without my approval*) [20:14] Ha [20:14] I did that already nogo [20:14] hey! it worked though with windows [20:14] Walex: Well, thank you. I am enjoying exploring aptitude nonetheless. The problem is that I installed xubuntu-desktop earlier, and for some reason xfce *CRAWLED*. It was terribly slow. I uninstalled the package, and now gnome is slow as well. xorg is using far more CPU than it ever used to. [20:14] what is a good command line emule client that lets me search KAD and dl stuff.....also a good torrent client for command line ? [20:14] xfix doesn't work at all [20:14] same problem over and over [20:14] Xfix did not help [20:14] hi guys! I've a question [20:14] Why does pidgin add '1' at the end of my username??? [20:14] i'm not too worried about it, I'm only trying out different linux builds...I build pc's for pofolk who can't afford one of their own...and to avoid win prollems i'm thinking about preloading it with linux instead [20:14] fdisk says when tape w: Re-reading the partition table failed with error 16: Device or resource [20:14] shaun_: Ok... Have you tried manually inputting the SSID? [20:14] TwoToneSpirit: looks like that the driver was changed to VESA maybe. [20:14] can it be true that no one has soundblaster pro? [20:15] Raenr magical_walrus your both ATI? [20:15] hi guys! I've a question [20:15] Why does pidgin add '1' at the end of my username??? [20:15] In my client I view 'nannes', the others told me my name results 'nannes1' [20:15] yeah, it failed epicly [20:15] yes [20:15] even tried with the mac address too [20:15] again, failed [20:15] Mhm [20:15] i have realtek ac97...used to have sbpro....but i threw that pc out my window [20:15] shaun_: try renaming the router? [20:15] magical_walrus: Nivida? ATI? Intel? what card you got? [20:15] one card id ATI Radeon the other one is a sapphire, both 3870's [20:15] nannes1: /whois nannes <--- that dude is using your name ;) [20:16] !ati | Raenr [20:16] Raenr: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [20:16] Walex: I don't know what that means. I remember VESA from DOS days, but I don't understand how it applies here. How can I check to see if this is the case and if so, reverse it? [20:16] Ati radeon 2200 [20:16] not tried renaming the router [20:16] * canthus13 has occasionally also seen routers and wireless cards that just flat-out refused to talk to each other. [20:16] Raenr: have you been on that link before? [20:16] !ati | magical_walrus [20:16] magical_walrus: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [20:16] magical_walrus: same question for you, have you been on that page before [20:16] No [20:16] i ran this command from terminal (ubuntu 9.04) and got a blank document, is that normal? "sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst" [20:16] hey this ubuntu rocks though, well done guys [20:17] love the gui, totally rocks [20:17] !gksudo | mikefletcher85 [20:17] mikefletcher85: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [20:17] shaun_: Good to hear. [20:17] kay im checking the link [20:17] can the fixes from the link be done from command line? [20:17] magical_walrus Raenr if you don't install graphic card drivers in the recommended way things can go wrong [20:17] pepperjack: yes, but you all view nannes1 !!! I want nannes!!! [20:17] mikefletcher85: but no.. not normal afaik [20:17] I love ubuntu also...gonna try out a few other distros though...to see which one would be better for idiots like me lol [20:17] sebastien__, [20:17] Sound 3D Sound Blaster Pro compatible sound 16 bit integrated [20:17] Audio Playback SRS Premium Sound [20:17] mikefletcher85: id recommend gksudo for gui stuff rather than sudo but gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst should normally work assuming you are using grub as your boot loader [20:17] mikefletcher85: are you sure you typed it correctly? /boot and /Boot isn't the same in linux [20:17] nikolaj_basher: uh? [20:18] sebsebseb: So how can I fix this? [20:18] pepperjack: yes, but you all view nannes1 !!! I want nannes!!! [20:18] magical_walrus: don't know [20:18] nannes1: you have to register your name. if someone has already registered nannes youre out of luck. [20:18] my bad, but this was the specifications on my soundcard [20:19] slart, yea i always type in lowercase [20:19] sebsebseb do you know if I can fix this without having to do a reinstall? [20:19] nikolaj_basher: I assume you wanted to give that to me, but why? also you put sebastien [20:19] my father in law stupidly bought a belkin router too...it cuts out every few minutes...evil man [20:19] mikefletcher85: and you're using grub? not lilo or some other boot loader? [20:19] Raenr: yep probably, but I don't know how [20:19] !register nannes1 [20:19] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [20:19] !register | nannes1 [20:19] nannes1: Information about registering your nickname: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname .

After restart, my Ubuntu is behaving really strange. I need help [20:20] hello i need a help does anyone knows how to turn off shutdown voice of startup voice [20:20] shaun_: Depends. You want GUI or terminal? [20:20] mikefletcher85: then it's very odd.. not really sure why it would be like that.. [20:20] good gui [20:20] How can I return only parts of lines in the CLI? (ie, eliminate the first n characters of each line in output) [20:20] pepperjack: ok, but register command is -->/msg nickserv register [20:20] so is normal that the server use 'nannes1' because is the nick I have NOW !! :'( [20:20] shaun_: gedit or scite work well in the gui. [20:20] I'm strongly considering switchig o intrepid [20:20] i tried to tell him to get a linksys or a netgear, but he went cheap [20:20] To* [20:20] hola gente, como lo hago para irgresar a ubuntu español [20:21] ty [20:21] !es | luis_ [20:21] luis_: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés.

[20:21] arber4444: im not sure if that is in gdmsetup but you could try 'gksudo gdmsetup' from a terminal [20:22] slart, omg... im an idiot... i was typing menu.list.. not menu.lst [20:22] como ingreso a esos canales [20:22] magical_walrus: it will stop being supported on the desktop next April though, but oh well 9.10 is out at the end of October, with default Ext4 support :) for those that clean install (and don't optionally select some other file system that isn't Ext4) [20:22] HighLordObsi: Lots of ideas. Is it all sound, or certain sounds? [20:22] HighLordObsi, what soundcard do you have? [20:22] arber4444: otherwise it would be under sounds or something in the menu sorry i dont know gnome well [20:22] luis_: /join #ubuntu-es [20:22] alrighty rebooting [20:22] realtek ac'97 onboard sound...only sound i get is the logon ping [20:22] HighLordObsi: And was it working before, or has it never worked? [20:22] magical_walrus: clean installing is the only way to get full support [20:22] never in ubuntu [20:22] !sound | HighLordObsi [20:22] HighLordObsi: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [20:23] magical_walrus: I read something about having fixes for the Intel cards, so maybe your as well [20:23] No i dont know what to [20:23] do === nannes1 is now known as nannes [20:23] HighLordObsi: Hmm. check out alsamixer from the command line, make sure everything is turned up properly.

[20:24] I created my 4 partitions ext3 with fdisk [20:24] and rebooted [20:25] HighLordObsi: Depending on your setup, you may have multiple pages of outputs to go through.

I want to strip the output to isolate the package names, which are a definite length from the beginner of each line. How can I do this? [20:26] sebsebseb: oh sure here you are. Now I deleted my partition and created my 4 partitions. When I tape w fdisk says that there's an error 16. Device is busy.

[20:35] sebsebseb: omg but it can't see the drive [20:35] pepperjack - it does the same thing when I click on check CD [20:35] sebsebseb: that's the point [20:35] bahh: sure [20:35] bahh: and I think I know why [20:35] Um_cara_qualquer: it's a windows game, so you would need to run the windows version through wine or cedega [20:35] pepperjack - it just says Loading, Please Wait... _ [20:35] bahh: it's not useing a normal partition table === GDonato is now known as gdonato [20:35] bahh: I think that's also the problem, or it 's using something odd, that Ubuntu can't support [20:35] ahhh [20:35] :( [20:35] Hello!!!! Should I choose Ubuntu 8 over jaunty? Any sound advice??!?! [20:35] sebsebseb: how can I fix the part table? [20:35] lstarnes: thx anyway [20:35] Is it a bad thing to forward any ports? [20:36] bahh: will it show any partitions in gparted? no? [20:36] sebsebseb: no [20:36] blognewb: 8.04 is an LTS release, but 9.04 may have newer packages [20:36] bahh: you can tell it to make a new partition table there though I expect. you don't have any data on there to backup? [20:36] sebsebseb: just 250 gigs unallocated [20:36] lstarnes: why did they not put 9.04 as LTS? :( so what's your preference, for a noob boob likke me? [20:37] sebsebseb, Would forwarding any ports in Ubuntu affect/reduce it security? [20:37] blognewb: it's not an LTS [20:37] sebsebseb: I have smt like 200 gigs of data on here which I don't wanna loose [20:37] blognewb: LTS releases are only made every 2 years approximately [20:37] can anyone help? I literally cant get it to boot using anything, anything I click from the menu brings up a Loading, Please Wait.... [20:37] Is there some _normal_ Ubuntu installer (with package selector and not trying to format /) available? [20:37] f3ar007: i dont know much about samba. normally when mounting fat partitions i specify a umask like mount -o umask=000 /dev/blah /mnt/blah so that normal users can write to it [20:37] oh [20:37] lstarnes: you seem experienced, will you look at bahh 's weird partition set up as well please, if he pastebins the file? [20:37] blognewb: LTSes are every two years. Each release number is the year and month is was released, so 9.04 = 2009 april [20:37] actually thats a lie.. Memtest86+ works [20:37] Pici: so did you upgrade to 9.04? [20:38] sebsebseb? [20:38] bahh: great well you may have lost it already [20:38] blognewb: Yes. [20:38] sebsebseb: I know very little about partitioning [20:38] pepperjack - any ideas? [20:38] Pici: what do you suggest for a newb like me? same? i guess? [20:38] sebsebseb: are you kidding? [20:38] bahh: well if partitions get deleted or whatever, the data is still there kind of [20:38] blognewb: I think you'll be happier in the long run win 9.04 [20:38] i heard some intel/nvidia hardware issues with ubuntu 9 slow graphics [20:38] bahh: you need a program like test disk to gain access to the deleted partition [20:38] is that true [20:38] Kingsy101: seems like a bad cd. did you burn this at the slowest possible speed? id try a new cd man sorry [20:38] sebsebseb, Would forwarding any ports affect/redure it security? [20:39] Alvinware: ports such as? [20:39] Alvinware: ports to be used for what? [20:39] sebsebseb: I can mount the win partitions and all the datas are there [20:39] pepperjack - its not a bad CD cos I have installed ubuntu once already with it [20:39] sebsebseb, amule, and torrrent. [20:39] Kingsy101: or maybe a crappy old cdrom drive [20:39] blognewb: Yes, there are some issues with intel video drivers in 9.04 [20:39] hmm it shouldnt be [20:39] Alvinware: ports in your router? [20:39] Anyone have any idea what's with the graphics problems? It's been this way since 8.x [20:40] sebsebseb, yes, andin firewall too. [20:40] Kingsy101: can you boot from usb on this PC? [20:40] pepperjack - I have no idea, I havnt tried [20:40] !unetbootin| Kingsy101 great little utility [20:40] Kingsy101 great little utility: 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 [20:40] Alvinware: having ports open, can reduce security sure, but I think usaully it's ok [20:40] Alvinware: well in Ubuntu anyway [20:41] any idea? [20:41] Kingsy101: could also be something as simple as a dirty cd ;) [20:41] pepperjack - thanks I will try that [20:41] :) [20:41] Alvinware: also it seems you want to download things that your not realy meant to and so [20:41] !piracy | Alvinware [20:41] Alvinware: piracy discussion and other questionably legal practices are not welcome in the Ubuntu channels.

[20:42] bahh: so the Windows partitions are ok and still there? [20:42] sebsebseb getting Ubuntu ban torrent? [20:42] I have a live cd related question [20:42] yeah I did not touch them [20:42] bahh: ,but the Linux partitions are wierd? can you access the Windows parrttion? [20:42] how can i list the Opened windows in Terminal??????? [20:42] sebsebseb: I just deleted the old Linux partition and made the newer ones [20:42] grr...time to wipe the laptop drive [20:42] NarbeH: I don't think that can be done [20:42] sebsebseb: yes I can access the win ones [20:43] bahh: I think it would be easier to get hold of your data, and start over properly [20:43] lstarnes: just window title. it won't be? :( [20:43] What is the default apache config file on Ubuntu? [20:43] can someone help me with permissions problems? I've been trying to solve this for hours now... [20:43] bahh: What do you use Windows for? [20:43] sebsebseb: autocad [20:43] sebsebseb, How to fix the cannot allocate memory error, when my pidgin were auto closed by itself, sometimes, and sometimes repeatedly. [20:43] bahh: oh [20:43] sebsebseb: and other important things [20:43] NarbeH: as far as I know, there is no command-line utility for that [20:43] pepperjack - I take it USB is called "removable" in the bios ? [20:43] when I try to mount via SSHFS it works, but then when I try to access the volume it says access denied, any idea why this might be? [20:43] bahh: does autocad work in Wine or virtual machine hmm [20:44] Kingsy101: it is usually more obvious than that. could be [20:44] sebsebseb, How to fix the cannot allocate memory error, when my pidgin were auto closed by itself, sometimes, and sometimes repeatedly? [20:44] aaroninfidel, who owns the mount point? [20:44] sebsebseb: not that well... I need software for 3D modelling [20:44] I want to make a livecd usb stick so I extracted the iso to the usb installed syslinux and renamed the directory and files now when I boot the usb stick the usb (/dev/sdb1) is mounted as /cdrom why is this and can I fix it? [20:44] bahh: if that's the only copy you have of that data and it means anything to you I suggest you back it up. [20:44] I'm repeating this because it's likely that nobody remembers what it said at this point: I have a Dell Inspiron 1100 with Intel integrated graphics, and it refuses to show any graphics when I booth. I've tried changing the boot options to nosplash and vga=1, and it works sometimes, but not without an external monitor. Any help? I'm on 9.04 [20:44] Alvinware: I think that means your running out of space on your Ubuntu partition or have run out [20:45] pepperjack - hmmmm [20:45] pepperjack - I don't think i have it then [20:45] fumblnoob: I'll get an hd soon [20:45] hmm...codecs not available for my pc type... [20:45] mrwes: solaris swap etc [20:45] I want to make a livecd usb stick so I extracted the iso to the usb installed syslinux and renamed the directory and files now when I boot the usb stick the usb (/dev/sdb1) is mounted as /cdrom why is this and can I fix it? [20:45] so there are no other ways than format? [20:45] gosh i hope this is the last time i have to bother you guys here... anyone have experiance with EasyBCD? I have windows 7, windows xp and Ubuntu 9.04 installed. I disabled grub and am using the vista loader. i copied the menu.lst file into EasyBCD under a NeoGrub entry. but when i try to boot it i get "file not found" i think it was error 17 [20:45] Kingsy101: yeah my lappy for instance cant boot usb.. only thing i can recommend is to test the cd in another PC [20:45] sebsebseb, uh? [20:46] sebsebseb, I don't think so, because i can see in my system monitor that i'm only 30% of my hd, and over 300mb of ram only. [20:46] bahh: : the stuff you pm'd last time I saw something like that, was when I tried to do archlinux in a vm, and was making partitions in cfdisk or whatever it's called [20:46] Dark_Wolf: could be maybe just the resolution is out of range of the lcd? is this a fairly old laptop? like 1024x768 res? [20:46] mrwes dreamhost, its my shared web server. [20:46] mrwes: pm'd you by mistake not sure why, when meant to have done bahh [20:46] pepperjack, yes. [20:46] sebsebseb, What could be the problem, and fix? [20:46] mrwes: pm'd uh messaged [20:46] I want to make a livecd usb stick so I extracted the iso to the usb installed syslinux and renamed the directory and files now when I boot the usb stick the usb (/dev/sdb1) is mounted as /cdrom why is this and can I fix it? [20:46] mrwes: in here [20:46] NarbeH: install wmctrl and use the command wmctrl -l [20:46] shrug [20:47] pepperjack: 1024x768 is still standard. I don't see why Ubuntu would have the default at anything larger. [20:47] bahh: not sure if Ubuntu calls it solaris swap ever, it just seems odd to me [20:47] sebsebseb: I dunno... seems strange that there's nothin to do [20:47] aaroninfidel, you are trying to mount a share via sshfs on your computer or what? [20:47] can anyone help me [20:47] ahh well... c'est la vie [20:47] pepperjack - and what would you suggest if the CD isnt faulty ? [20:47] sebsebseb: it does... it was my old swap partition created with gparted [20:47] bahh: and you got all your sda's in order even from 1 to 8, Ubuntu doesn't normalley do that [20:47] Dark_Wolf: try alt-ctrl-f2 then login then sudo X -congfigure <-- this should generate an xorg.conf file. you can then sudo mv xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf and then when you have that done we can try to asssign a resolution [20:47] bahh: normalely Ubuntu skips sda 3 4 and 5 or something [20:48] anyone? [20:48] sebsebseb: think that there's also win [20:48] hi [20:48] Kingsy101: yeah. if that is the case i have had a lot of bad cd rom drives esp in older laptops [20:48] bahh: doesn't matter I was talking when dual booting [20:48] !modules [20:48] To compile modules and drivers that are not bundled with the standard kernel, for more info /msg ubottu kernel , install the relevant package, usually called "-source", and run « sudo module-assistant » (you will have to do this again after kernel updates).

EVERYTHING else i found, including: fspot, mirage, gpicview (which claims to be super fast, yeah right), yeah even gthumb is slower! is digikam using magic!?!?

[21:06] drained, rythembox does [21:07] does it? i can't find the option.

[21:09] pepperjack: I copied that new configuration to the system, and I still have no video [21:09] Line: & won't keep a process alive if you kill the parent (the shell) [21:09] deany: nope, gonna give it a try now [21:09] anybody here use docky? My docky is unbelievably slow. [21:09] is it possible to use older ati graphics cards (x1400) on ubuntu 9.04? when 9.04 came out, it wasn't?

This did not happen before. How can i fix it? It is a huge problem. thanks [21:10] Im using 9.05 [21:10] 9.04 [21:10] if i want apache to write a file at /home/me/path/finalfolder , do all the folders from /home to /finalfolder have to have 761 permissions?

[21:10] oops [21:10] what does tar --exclude=/sys , (--exclude mean copy everything from it? most this use for backup) thanks [21:11] Hi al [21:11] all* [21:11] whoder: How in the world do you have 9.05? It's not even out O-o [21:11] !es [21:11] 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. [21:11] helper: I think exclude means to not copy stuff from that directory.. /sys doesn't contain real files.. [21:11] I need help [21:11] helper: that includes everything except the contents of /sys [21:11] My voice is too low [21:11] Dark_Wolf, it was a typo which I immediately corrected... [21:12] lstarnes , Slart thx :) [21:12] helper: or ... rather.. they are files.. but not files as in "files you'd want to backup". They are created at runtime [21:12] i need help too, but i'm scared of straight jackets and rubber rooms [21:12] I didn't see it xD [21:12] my bad [21:12] helper: you're welcome [21:12] pepperjack: still alive? [21:12] No one to help :S [21:13] Slart: I think when you kill the parent console with ctrl+d, child process continues running. why?? [21:13] :D [21:13] plenty of people to help [21:13] My Volume is too low [21:13] How to increase it? [21:13] Razizsta, what is it you need help with/ [21:13] Read up [21:13] blaz_: oh.. Ctrl+D.. never used that...what is it? [21:14] have you tried the obvious? [21:14] blaz_: ah.. it's the same thing as typing "exit".. and yes.. that keeps the process running [21:14] You are talking to me, please use @ username [21:14] For some reason, Rhythmbox is stopping after playing each file. It's not paused, it still shows it is playing, it just does not play. If I move the slider at all, it will start playing fine. Any idea why this might be happening? [21:14] Slart: me think it is the same as typing 'exit' in the shell [21:15] Slart: but when you use a mouse, child dies. weird. [21:15] deany: this is ridiculous. thanks for pointing me to that app, its just as fast as digikam. but its kde beating gnome on a gnome desktop? wow [21:15] slart: the generate a download script feature requires a *nix box online right? how assuming i can only get online via windows, is there another way? [21:15] @ Razizsta: sorry about that...have you tried the obvious...my sound issues were stupid as i hadn't turned it up in the volume control [21:16] Hey guys now for some reason if a mount an hdd with my main user, and then go to a guest account or any other account they can access the filesystems that I have mounted. This did not happen before. How can i fix it? It is a huge problem. thanks Im using 9.04 [21:16] blaz_: yes.. I think clicking the X kills gnome-terminal.. which then does nasty things to bash.. typing exit will make bash exit nicely (including letting processes keep running by assigning new parent processes and such).. then when bash is done gnome-terminal exits [21:16] @HighLord What is that, obvious [21:17] mus: the download script is a pretty simplistic text file.. it runs wget with some urls.. if you download wget for windows and puts that in the same folder as the script it should run on a windows box too [21:17] @Razizsta: what build you using? [21:17] slart: ah great stuff cheers [21:17] mus: you're welcome [21:17] @HighLord What are you saying man?? [21:17] Okay so I read the instructions and it won't work [21:18] "insmod: can't read 'fglrx.ko': No such file or directory" [21:18] @Raz: I'm asking which os you're running [21:18] that file does not exist so the command to get the propierity drivers won't work, why is the file missing? [21:18] Raenir: what about sudo modprobe fglrx? [21:19] Slart: makes sense [21:19] What does modprobe do? [21:19] buenas tardes!

It's used to install and run windows apps on linux. [21:33] as sudo insmod /lib/modules/`uname -r`/volatile/fglrx.ko is get the error that access is denied/file does not exist blah bla [21:33] Ooook: are you running 64bit ubuntu? === Odin is now known as Guest3454 [21:33] WINE is not an Emulator === Guest3454 is now known as th0r [21:33] Dark_Wolf: : well, im on ubuntu with gnome, so how will that affect me?

[21:33] jond: well, for those who want to play a specific game... wine is an option. yes, its not necesarily free [21:34] Cube: Install the one without the -kde4? [21:34] I should be using 32 bit I believe. [21:34] hi [21:34] hi cake [21:34] Dark_Wolf: kk [21:34] i've got a strange problem, couldn't find a solution using Google [21:34] can someone help me install a ppa [21:35] I really tried reinstalling the plugin like 6 times.. [21:35] Cube, Dark_Wolf: gwenview is a KDE program. "gwenview" is for KDE3, gwenview-kde4 is for KDE4. [21:35] kykyzachariah: the instructions are in Launchpad web [21:35] ah [21:35] does anyone know something about the integrated microphone of Dell XPS M1330 laptop on Xubuntu 9.04 64 bits? [21:35] I eventually got the flash to work but the sound isn't coming out. [21:35] im looking but cant find them [21:35] i know to use apt-get but i dunno what the file name is [21:35] jum..................... [21:35] Cube, Dark_Wolf: Installing a KDE program in Gnome isn't the end of the world, you'll just drag in some KDE libraries, so it'll have a little bit more of a RAM cost when running (since you have gnome and KDE libs in memory) [21:35] cake_baker, what about it? I believe it's the same as on my 1530... [21:35] Ooook: do you have sound with other apps? [21:35] it just doesn't work [21:35] i dunno why [21:36] fumblnoob: yeah [21:36] and it's quite problematic for using Skype .... [21:36] Cube, installin gwenview installs v4 of it [21:36] Cube, well it did for me... [21:36] kykyzachariah, sudo apt-cache search [21:36] Flannel: and the funny thing is, the gwenview with extra-kde libs loaded on gnome is still faster than native gnome apps... [21:36] kykyzachariah: sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 12345678 ; replace the numbers with the key or that ppa [21:36] when i was in 32 bits .... the microphone worked out of box [21:36] cake_baker, you have to select it in the mixer. [21:36] btw, any suggestion for a nice tex editor in gnome? right now using kile.... [21:36] cake_baker, Digital Input Source: Digital Mic 1. [21:36] i did that [21:37] Cube, last time I used it was while ago as this is a lot different than kde3 version. [21:37] thank you === MadMax is now known as Guest8197 [21:37] How is network manager supposed to show me available mobile broadband connections, or error messages? I make a connection, and nothing happens. I have no idea if theres something wrong with my connection settings, or if the modem driver isn't working. No response at all. Any hints on where I can look? [21:37] xangua Sorry, for what apt-key adv use for ? thanks [21:37] has anyone had problems with python imaging library PIL on ubuntu? [21:37] ok ive just installed vbox ... now where has it installed it too... wheres the folder [21:37] efu: check /var/log/syslog [21:37] Okay, everyone, since pepperjack seems to have died. Can anyone help me fix my graphics? I have a Dell Inspiron 1100 running 9.04 and when I boot, I get nothing but a blank screen after all the text (I have nosplash set). It's okay if I use an external monitor sometimes, but after swtiching to another TTY, the display goes blank again. [21:37] Paulos: it has an icon in apps->acessoris [21:37] nibbler_, thanks will try that now [21:38] cake_baker, are you able to record using Sound Recorder? It may be an issue relating to Skype or Pulseaudio. Running crappy proprietary apps, especially 32-bit ones, is not foolproof. [21:38] Paulos: it's probably a little all over the place.. look the application menu.. you don't find virtualbox anywhere? [21:38] helper: jum don know, those are the instructions in launchpad :-S [21:38] ok ty Dr [21:38] don't* [21:38] nope can't record any sound on Sound Recorder either hackel [21:38] And I use youtube quite a lot, so this is a big downer. [21:38] efu: and for config, right click the icon, edit connections, and add stuff to mobile broadband [21:38] i've thought about it too >< [21:38] deany: kkthx [21:38] :< [21:38] its not in there Dr -_-; [21:39] Paulos: via command line its 'virtualbox' [21:39] ok [21:39] Ooook: sudo grep pulseaudio /var/log/syslog and see if you are getting errors there, pretty sure it logs there [21:39] Hello! I wonder what is the better way to create an encryptet filesystem. Create the container on device basis /dev/sdx or on partition basis /dev/sdx1? [21:39] can anyone help me with my graphics drivers [21:39] hmm alright [21:39] is there any way to run a chkdsk from ubuntu? as in an actual chkdsk not just ntfsfix? [21:39] the official documentation doesnt work [21:40] dash__: to properly 'fix' a ntfs filesystem - use windows.. [21:40] cake_baker, hmm, well in my case it's working fine now, but I have had lots of mixer issues in the past. Usually was able to make it work, though. Input source should be set to mic, "front mic" actually means the mic jack. Make sure capture 1 is toggled for record and turned up, etc... [21:40] fumblnoob, module-alsa-sink.c: Error opening PCM device front:0: Device or resource busy [21:40] is what I keep getting. [21:40] `-`; [21:40] would it be a bad idea to run a recovery console in vmware? [21:40] maxxle: as you might want to have an unecrypted /boot, partitions might be useful [21:40] I'm also running XMMS alongside. [21:40] Cube, personally i`d use acdsee in wine but wine doesnt like the radeon driver, makes it lockup after x amount of time when using graphical apps like that. when I had fglrx support (in 8.10) it was fine.... [21:40] thanks hackel [21:41] would it be possible to have pictures of all tabs of your mixer hackel ? [21:41] how do i make myself root -_- i do this su - "username" then it wants password ... but its still asking me to be root when i type the command [21:41] Paulos: why do you need to make yourself root? [21:41] paulos you have to do sudo su [21:41] !root | Paulos [21:41] Paulos: 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 [21:41] to enter a root shell [21:41] dash__: sudo -i, not sudo su [21:41] fumblnoob, does that possibly mean that I can only have either xmms or youtube playing at the same time? [21:41] once at a time* [21:41] Cube, lockup as in, needing RSEIUB [21:41] Paulos: try prefixing the command that requires root with sudo [21:41] lol ubottu [21:41] ok [21:41] nibbler_: I just have a big external USB-HDD with a single partition. I think then /dev/sdX should do the trick [21:41] sudo [21:42] deany: hmm i gotcha. [21:42] Ooook you should be able to have both, but have you tried one at a time? [21:42] what does one use the DASH shell for? [21:42] maxxle: yea, should do then i guess [21:42] dash__: "sudo shutdown -F -r" reboots and will run fschk if you mean that, see shutdown --help for options [21:42] dash__: it's used as a lightweight shell [21:42] haha [21:42] Repeating because nobody remembers again: Okay, everyone, since pepperjack seems to have died. Can anyone help me fix my graphics? I have a Dell Inspiron 1100 running 9.04 and when I boot, I get nothing but a blank screen after all the text (I have nosplash set). It's okay if I use an external monitor sometimes, but after swtiching to another TTY, the display goes blank again. [21:42] dash__: it has few features, but is faster than bash [21:42] nibbler_: Hope so! thx! [21:43] im flattered they decided to name a shell after me :/ [21:43] haha [21:43] Good evenin' [21:43] fumblnoob, still doesn't work even with one at a time. [21:43] Plus, whenever I close Firefox, and try to reopen it, the process is still running.. [21:43] Dark_Wolf: does single user mode work? [21:43] Ooook: wait a little while for it to shut down... 10 seconds or so... before trying to start it agani [21:43] tonii: Nothing works. Blank screen. [21:44] Alright Slart. [21:44] Can someone help me fix my ati drivers problem, my fglrx.ko file is MISSING so I can't finish the installtion. [21:44] >< [21:44] Could someone quickly, in very basic (aka relative noob here) terms, the idea of dependencies in Linux and how exactly it works (and what breaks it, and what happens when it gets broken) [21:44] Dark_Wolf: sounds odd. bios work, right? :P [21:44] Raenir: are you sure yourcard is supported? some cards support got lost on 9.04 [21:44] Dark_Wolf: that's an oldish laptop iirc... i vaguely remember there's a bios option to give 1MB or 8MB to the video .. it's set to1, so set it to 8 in the BIOS [21:44] fumblnoob, any ideas? [21:44] tonii, yeah., and stefg, I'll try it [21:44] Draggin: a dependency is a program or a library that is required by another program or library in order to work [21:44] hackel, is IEC958 Playback source to "Digital Playback"? (knowing i'm using the internal speakers) [21:45] Ooook: give me a minute, looking around [21:45] mine is ATI 3870 [21:45] Istarnes, okay... And where are these dependencies defined - how does a programme know what it needs? [21:45] Hey there.. While I'm creating an ext4 partition it uses 1GB of 56GB, however when I'm formatting it to reiser4 it uses only 39MB from 56GB === xamjg is now known as xamjg|ClinkApps [21:45] fumblenoob: Okay. Thanks alot man, I really appreciate your time. [21:45] Dark_Wolf: ah, it's when Xorg is run that screen blanks out? [21:45] Dark_Wolf: and you might need some vga=xxx option in the kernel command line [21:45] How can I reduce its size? [21:45] cake_baker, that's for playback, not recording... [21:45] Draggin: it asks the operating system to load certain libraries or start certain programs when it runs [21:45] ok i wasn't sure [21:45] tonii yeah [21:46] Draggin: also, the package manager checks a database for that information when installing packages or upgrading them [21:46] cake_baker, I use that to play out over the hdmi cable. [21:46] tonii: no... not an X issue but framebuffer... old dells have funny video hardware. [21:46] Istarnes, okay... So how do dependencies break? [21:46] stefg, using vga=1, and I set it to 8MB [21:46] jadenkorn_: reiser if very good with small files.. ext4 might be a little less efficient [21:46] where do I check what grpahics cards are supported? [21:46] stefg: ah, interesting [21:46] Draggin: they break when a version of a program or library doesn't work properly with something that requires it [21:46] Dark_Wolf: you need something like vga=791 or 753 [21:46] Slart, I made it reiser4 but I can't mount it... [21:46] i installed vbox , when i try to run it via command line it tells me its not installed , and to install it type the following "apt-get install virtualbox-ose" so i tryed to installed "hence why i wanted to the sudo thingy , its got 90% in and its now saying "no suitable module for running krernal found" , and when i tryed to run it now i get "WARNING: The character device /dev/vboxdrv does not exist.

[21:49] cake_baker, you should also open the PulseAudio Volume Control and make sure the recording source is set to the right device. [21:49] Ooook: Try setting everything in System->Preferences->Sound to ALSA (but take note of what they were before you changed them just in case) [21:49] Draggin: it should update that automatically [21:49] Slart, it says "Cannot mount volume." then below "The volume uses the reiser4 file system which is not supported by your system."

[21:50] hackel, pulseaudio isn't installed ... [21:50] JadenKorn: have you searched in synaptic for reiser? perhaps it's a package you have to install? or support for it might have been dropped.. the company behind it has had some problems [21:50] Unless it counds as under "HD 3200" [21:50] hey guys, i'm going to Reformat a parition flagged bootable, is that bad idea? [21:50] cake_baker, well that could be a problem. [21:50] yeah that could be it [21:50] Slart, reiserfs works, but not reiser4.. [21:51] let's hope for the best :) [21:51] but without pulseaudio i do have sound [21:51] but no microphone [21:51] istarnes - okay, the root of my question is actually something very silly... I've recently upgraded to Intrepid, and for some reason, GIMP has disappeared completely off my graphics menu (even when you edit it, it isn't just unchecked, it's not there at all).

[22:06] roc: try http://www.geteasypeasy.com/ [22:07] Draggin: I'm not sure what they mean by that.. when we use that term it usually means we're tired of troubleshooting stuff from the base up because we don't know what kind of system the user is running.. =) [22:07] lstarnes, Flannel is a program that can generate a html file [22:07] hi all [22:07] JadenKorn: try doing a "sudo chown" on the mount point [22:07] where do i get kernel source for 2.6.28-16-47-generic?i tried to "apt-get install linux-source-`uname -r` but i get 2.6.29-9 sources apparently...or couldn't build them the right way [22:07] JadenKorn: add -R for recursion [22:07] Edico: it might be hal-device-manager [22:07] roc: I am running easy peasy on an eeePC 701, works good [22:08] I accidentally dragged ~/Desktop into ~/Documents and now Ubuntu using ~/Documents/Desktop as my desktop folder.

[22:10] Slart, to patch and re-compile it [22:10] stefg: is there any difference to the original ubuntu netbook remix?

[22:10] Well, let me try that. Thank you. [22:11] Slart, is this "/dev/sda2 /mnt/MyData xfs rw,user,auto 0 0" good for autobooting the xfs partition? [22:11] NickWebHA: there probably is a command for it, but relogin is faster than finding that out [22:11] zk: then there are source packages.. I haven't built a kernel from those packages myself but I would assume that they are patched appropriately [22:11] roc: it's customized for atom based hardware... different kernel, some different apps, some differently tweaked defaults [22:11] I've recently upgraded to Ubuntu Jaunty, just last night.

[22:15] What's the command to schedule times for a any apps to run, and stop? [22:15] goku12205: trojan? I think you need to explain a bit more.. !piracy might be an appropriate thing to type too [22:15] ayecaramba: Yes, can only upgrade one release at a time [22:15] where can i go to learn this shit then?

[22:16] * daniellockard suggests a /kb goku12205 [22:16] slart: thanks [22:16] ayecaramba: right... no direct upgrade path other than LTS to LTS [22:16] Draggin: then just download it again and re-run the file.. [22:16] Right... and I just don't feel like waiting till April for another distro to come out :) [22:16] Thanks though [22:16] can anyone tell me how the three way handshake work?

I want to start a program at bootup, not mess with grub [22:18] mark_: type "uname -m" in a terminal. If you get i686, it's 32-bit. If you get x86_64, it's 64-bit. [22:18] freeman, are you supposed to go onto those blocked sites? [22:18] WHERE CAN I GO THEN? [22:18] goku12205: google [22:18] goku12205 try #networking [22:18] Draggin: I don't think the non-OSE version is available from the repos.. you might have added a repository for virtualbox though..

Thanks - I'll try getting it from the site again then... [22:19] mark: does 'ls /usr | grep64' return anything? [22:19] mark_: then you have 32bit :) [22:19] Draggin: here's the download page.. http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads [22:19] rww: there's a difference between newer users and users that yell at you demanding information [22:20] why don't i need to learn this stuff?(INFORMATION IS FREE!!!!) [22:20] rww: I'm pretty sure that telling someone asking how to use trojans to use google is acceptable. [22:20] rww, I am having difficulty installing the flash plugin.

[22:20] LordLandon: There's still no reason to eb rude [22:20] with digikam, on ubuntu [22:20] mark_: if you're using 32-bit, installing the flashplugin-nonfree package should do it... [22:20] but it says that it cannot find serveri kfmclien [22:21] wng_z3r0: there is also the part about using the directory etc/rc.local for startup scripts.. those will be run by root [22:21] daniellockard, LordLandon: and the correct way to deal with people like that is to ignore them and let the operators deal with them. [22:21] rww, sudo apt-get instal?? [22:21] Slart - thanks for all the trouble :) [22:21] mark_: yeah, sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [22:21] Draggin: you're welcome [22:21] i just rebooted and apparently somepart of the kernel is crashing [22:22] Raenir: I would check dmesg for errors.

[22:22] Draggin: yes [22:22] The flash is working fine, and I only have flashplugin-installer downloaded [22:22] it's just the audio for the flash.

[23:01] mi sono trovato così e così [23:01] Are packages supposed to have the -dev requirements in their dependencies? I just did apt-get source nautilus-open-terminal and ./configure but it's missing some -dev libraries [23:01] non capivo [23:01] non potevo aprire i client [23:01] i did that alraedy... been trying to install it for 5 days now [23:01] helper: apt-get source doesn't require root (he a bot I assume?) [23:02] I don't find any particularily consistent instructions nor do they seem to work at all for getting EVE to work with wine [23:02] i tried googling for solution and looking in forums... i defragged my hdd 5 times already [23:02] krisives, so install the libs it tells you that are missing [23:02] it still does work :( [23:02] it still doesnt work :( [23:02] mrwes: I will, but is it not possible to have these installed for me with apt-get source? [23:03] Well I need some help. Vista recently got a virus, so I had to reformat my vista partition, while leaving the Ubuntu alone. Now that Vista is set up and running, I cannot get to the OS selection screen at first boot. Anyone have any ideas? [23:03] megamonk: ok try making the directory c:\wubi\disks [23:03] megamonk: do this after you close the hanging install [23:03] Jorknow: You need to update your GRUB [23:03] and how do i go about doing that? [23:03] krisives, apt-get source does not grab all the dependencies like apt-get install [23:03] Jorknow: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [23:03] Jorknow : You must update/reinstall grub. [23:04] filgy: i tried that already... been tryimg to install it for 4 days now [23:04] mrwes: Thanks, I guess I can manually install the deps [23:04] hey guys, i have a 160 GB HDD, and so far have taken up about 20-30 GB on it (music, movies,etc..), but when i open nautilus it says i only have about 25GB left of space, what gives? [23:04] megamonk: is it really worth the effort to try 5 wubi installs vs. resizing your windows partition and go for the real bang? (which probably works wth less trouble) [23:04] megamonk: then put 1 files in that directory named "swap.disk" [23:04] krisives, you might also look into checkinstall if you are installing from the source [23:04] megamonk: make the swap.disk file the size that you want your swap to be [23:04] krisives, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall [23:04] thanks! will read and try! [23:04] Cheers everyone - thanks for all the help :) [23:05] mrwes: Yeah, I know about CheckInstall, but it fails a lot on me. Do most packages have a make deb? [23:05] bobo: emty trash :-) [23:06] bobo: run disk usage analyzer ... or delete trash [23:06] megamonk: after you create that file.. try to install it through wubi without a swap partition [23:06] mrwes: How long does it take for a patch I make to hit a repo? A lot of people complain about bugs, and I would like to fix them more often and not send out .debs to them. [23:06] megamonk: then recreate that file if you need to after the install if it works [23:06] filgy: i m an absolute newbie. can you please elaborate what u mean. i dont get it. how do it change size of swap disk within windows? what file to put and where? thanks [23:06] megamonk: you can put any file there that is the size you need [23:06] stefg: i already did that, i've no idea where all my space went [23:06] megamonk: just rename it to swap.disk [23:07] megamonk: you would do it using windows my computer... like you are copying then renaming any normal file [23:07] but it already has a file named swap disk. its about 250mb [23:08] krisives, subscribe to the bug at launchpad and you can keep yourself informed on the status and potential workarounds for bugs [23:08] filgy: so i need to overwrite it? [23:08] krisives, of course it all depends on the severity of the bug :) [23:08] mrwes: I am an experienced developer, just not familar with Ubuntu [23:08] bobo: run disk usage analyzer (baobab) === remark is now known as kylskop [23:09] bobo: run baobab and find out [23:09] mrwes: I am more interested in fixing the bugs than reporting them [23:09] filgy: because i looked at the folders, there is already a file nameds swap.disk [23:09] ok, so I just made a user with useradd, giving the options to make the home folder and also supplied the password in the command line.. so why the hell do I have to sudo passwd user (supply password, even the same one) for it to let it login? argh [23:09] how do I setup remote desktop? [23:09] megamonk: how big is the file that is already there? [23:09] krisives, you could run the beta version of the next version due out in October -- code named Karmic Koala, join #ubuntu+1 [23:10] its pained me for 2 days. lol [23:10] joeyeye and stefg: ive already done that, but ill do it again and give you a screenshot to show you just how puzzled i am.... [23:10] how do I setup remote desktop? [23:10] Hi all. How do I add a directory to my PATH environment variable for only one user in the system so that programs run from the gnome menu see it? === Carlos is now known as Guest85839 [23:10] mrwes: How do most makefiles do creating debs? Or do they rely on checkinstall mostly [23:10] mark_ : System : Preferences : Remote Desktop [23:11] filgy: about 250mb [23:11] megamonk: and you're sure you have plenty of free space on the hard drive that file is located on ? [23:11] krisives, I never used a makefile to create a .deb; however I have used subversion to compile the latest and greatest of a few apps I choose [23:12] Is there a channel more suited for developers? [23:12] Hey everyone [23:12] bobo: cd / and then run df . then pastebin the output [23:12] krisives, #ubuntu+1 [23:12] krisives, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Subversion [23:12] filgy: yes... i installed ubuntu on s separate partition 10gb in size [23:12] is there an api for ubuntu? or some type of documentation for code, more specifically networking [23:12] megamonk: so you have another drive letter in my computer that is 10gb ? [23:12] ok [23:13] yes [23:13] I'm wondering if anyone know of a package that will sort games into catagories - there was one in rpm for fedora - jusr can't remeber its name. [23:13] joeyeye ok [23:13] megamonk: ok.. well all i can really suggest then is to try to delete the swap.disk file then try to install again with wubi [23:13] megamonk: if that doesn't work i would suggest you just install ubuntu normally and use that 10gb partition for the ubuntu install... === dragonlotus is now known as lotus [23:14] filgy: thanks ill try that now and come back for the results [23:14] joeyeye http://paste.ubuntu.com/246743/ [23:14] anyone else can't connect to keyserver through terminal? [23:15] megamonk: np, sounds good [23:15] after installing kubuntu, apt-get seems to only care about packages found on the cd... how to make it check the online package repository? [23:15] hi is anyone here know how to get ubuntu on the right track [23:16] krisives, if you're really serious you can ask about MOTU: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU [23:16] how do I disable this "switch desktop with mouse scroll wheel" behaviour? [23:16] i got Compiz running smoothly and winXP loaded throught virtualbox but there are some amll annoyances that i cant seem to get pass [23:16] and does anyone else find it irritating?

[23:58] different syntax then [23:58] Kingsy101,you can try suse or fedora, not only ubuntu [23:58] Dr_Willis - I did, it either hung before the installation or came up with the same trace [23:58] Kingsy101: i had this issue with a laptop [23:58] did you try safe gfx mode? solved my friend's issue [23:59] seanthegeek - what did you do? [23:59] Kingsy101 i think its the kernel, i cant use any newer distros [23:59] corrupt_glxgears - what do you mean? always use safe graphics mode? all of the time?
