[00:05] !usplash [00:05] To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork [00:05] my system is broken now, it won't automount my usb hard drives anymore, but it auto mounts my flash drive/key drive [00:05] any1 can help me with installing new usplash? [00:06] haf, you mean a boot splash? for grub [00:06] ? [00:06] <_Maximus> DasEi, but that goes for the western digital drive which is the one that I can't get working on this system [00:06] is there a list with any know freeze issue for ubuntu 9.04 ? === blaubeere is now known as kaddi [00:06] no..the boot screen [00:06] _Maximus : I asked for the manual, in case that bios won't suport the drive to find the usb-jumper, they are often labeled on the board, a three pin jumper [00:06] *known [00:06] splash screens [00:07] spO: splash screens [00:07] spO: i want to install this http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Usplash+BlackChrome?content=60249 [00:07] why cant I modify stuff in my virtual machine [00:07] <_Maximus> DasEi, I know what you are saying, but I am not sure there is a jumper on this board since it's quite old === chaky_ is now known as chaky [00:08] haf, i had problems with splash and grub , maybe you can install grub2, are you getting somekind of errors? [00:08] spO: i dont have any probs with grub. just to install splash screens. make it more nice [00:08] Does anyone here have a 4850? [00:08] _Maximus : can you run other usb-powered devices (mouse .f.e) ? [00:09] I'm looking to buy a new video card for gaming and was wondering if I'll have any issues with Ubuntu and a ATI card, I mostly just need HD video playback working. [00:10] I wish I could install a cool splash screen, but how much space will it take up in the boot sector? [00:11] Hello people [00:11] Is there at least a useful channel when I have a problem with this damn, stupid start-stop-daemon crap? [00:12] <_Maximus> DasEi, the mouse needs 5V ? [00:12] is it a big chore to hook up a digital ldc TV to my computer? Do I have to reconfig Xorg or anything? [00:12] GuidMorrow: you can put it anywhere, but not the mbr, /boot for example [00:12] _Maximus : a laser does, or a keyboard or .. [00:12] hi [00:13] i have a live cd running [00:13] how can i get the xorg file ? i dont see much info in /etc/X11/xorg.conf [00:13] arbir1: it's empty by deafult [00:13] <_Maximus> DasEi, I only have an optical usb mouse which runs ok [00:14] damn, close the window accidently :-( [00:14] <_Maximus> DasEi, thanks for support [00:14] <_Maximus> DasEi, I'll go and check the bios now [00:14] _Maximus : which fs is on the small hd ? [00:15] :( [00:15] is back [00:15] <_Maximus> I have not checked that out yet, but I think it's fat32 (to be accessible on most of the systems) [00:15] so, how can i get my xorg file from a live system ? [00:16] test [00:16] arbir1: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg , check again after [00:16] <_Maximus> DasEi, thanks for support again [00:16] DasEi: alright [00:16] when I "send shutdown signal" what does that do to my virtual machine [00:17] Are the overheating issues with the 4850 still there? [00:17] _Maximus : another idea is to install ntfsprogs, but by default, both fat and ntfs are handled by jaunty [00:17] also how well does a GTS 250 run in Ubuntu. [00:17] DasEi: should i say yes to the kernel frame buffer dialog ? === McPeter_ is now known as McPeter [00:17] GuidMorrow: it powers it down like shutdown [00:17] arbir1: say no [00:17] GuidMorrow, it depends on the VM you use, but normally, it should terminate the program. [00:18] holy crap look at the memory usage [00:18] GuidMorrow: how much ram total ? [00:18] DasEi: i only see this -- http://pastie.org/585336 [00:19] hey guys, any news about an update of the kernel about the 0day found yesterday ? [00:19] I had to set the VM to use 640M RAM [00:19] gotta figure if this motherboard can hold 4GB of RAM [00:20] It used to run with PAE in Windows [00:20] megra: I think they're testing the patch for bugs, it'll be rolled out via Synaptic soon enough :) [00:20] GuidMorrow: so 4 g installed ? === f4t is now known as f4t8oy [00:20] DasEi: i wonder how it runs a complete desktop with such less config in the xorg. am i looking at the wrong file ? /etc/X11/xorg.conf [00:21] hello. i have an issue with graphics in gstreamer and vlc. i get strange colours. i looked on the internets and there was the suggestion that XV_HUE variable gets somehow mucked up and the temporary fix for this is "xvattr -a XV_HUE -v 1" however it's claimed its fixed... somewhere. does anyone know where that fix is? :) [00:21] I only have one 2GB stick, 256 MB share memory ... maybe I should go into BIOS and reset things [00:21] the share memory size was originally set at 64 MB [00:23] Sneaky-Jesus, I must admin that's quite critical, I tried the exploit released by the grsecurity maintener, I was like frozen on chair when I saw '#' on my prompt :-) [00:24] arbir1: no, all right, in farmer times there had been more modules, nowadays it's kernel implemented [00:24] I was experimenting with a large share memory buffer and I didn't find any difference whenever I played The Sims 2 with it -- I figured my integrated nVIDIA graphics controller would use it as TurboCache memory [00:24] DasEi: well it seems, if i configure my xorg from hand, it never starts up :-( [00:24] GuidMorrow: no wonder, 2 g total, 256 graphic, give vm 256 then [00:24] DasEi: alright.. thanks for the help. [00:25] arbir: not really, you can specialize it [00:26] GuidMorrow: unless it's a super onbaord, 128 M for graphics should do [00:26] The Sims 2 will require up to 512M RAM with Vista ,but the OS itself will suffer without any extra memory [00:26] arbir: for instance, if you install a propitary driver or want to customize your screen, xorg gets altered [00:27] HI I installed the proprietary ati drivers in jaunty abd apparently the card is not supported anymore, I need to revert to the open source drivers (is that what was installed with the distro) and can I use them with tv out? [00:27] was going to follow this http://www.leong.nl/2009/04/ubuntu-jaunty-upgrade-with-atiamd-graphics/ [00:27] How can I get ls to print out full path names of files and directories? [00:28] ScottG: Don't think it can. You can use find for that though [00:29] oh ok, thanks [00:29] Do I still edit xorg to setup dual screens when not using the proprietary drivers? [00:29] ScottG: ls -R , see man ls [00:29] hi guys, this is a very strange question for the ubuntu chan i know but you guys have always been helpful... im in the process of installing xp pro sp3 on my parents computer and my cd must be bad i had to skip 2 files, does anyone here have a xp pro sp3 install that i can get two files off of? [00:29] Windows XP sometimes takes up to 256 RAM and the game does take 256 RAM or more [00:29] DasEi: That is recursive [00:29] cjae: The open source drivers should be xrandr-friendly, so you can use xrandr or the System -> Preferences -> Display gui [00:30] cjae : whih card ? ati is off the place with xorg 7.4 mostly [00:30] ScottG: so I diidn't get you right ; full paths ? [00:30] DasEi, ati 9600 [00:31] cjae: However, you may need to edit xorg.conf to tell the driver to use enough memory for a desktop spread on two monitors [00:31] cjae : hard case, I'm not sure for ope sorce n dual, what works is you can downgrade xorg or even use hardy [00:32] having trouble with my wireless connection on my mac mini, tried the apple chat room but no ones replying [00:32] !hardy [00:32] Ubuntu 8.04-LTS (Hardy Heron) was the eighth release of Ubuntu. Downloading: http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04 - See !lts for more details. [00:32] pixlbox: is mac mini a PPC or an intel? just curious? [00:32] intel [00:33] pixlbox: what card of wifi card? [00:33] hi brian_ [00:33] pixlbox: its running ubuntu....right? [00:33] geirha, I am so mixed up with the new way of installing drivers (hardware drivers) and randr, I have a hand edited xorg.conf from a long time ago that should work to setup separate x screens I'll just have to switch it to whatever the open source driver is called under that section [00:34] pixlbox: You tried #macosx? [00:34] pixlbox: I'm afraid folks here won't be able to give you much help with mac issues. [00:34] cjae: I'm currently using the open source ati drivers and occationally extend the desktop to my TV. This is my xorg.conf http://pastebin.com/f79877210 [00:34] pixlbox: what kind of wifi card is it? [00:34] puff: cool ill try that thanks [00:34] For some reason the vm isn't running right at "full speed" -- the sound clips in some spots [00:34] pixlbox: Even if it were a really slow day and people didn't mind discussing off-topic stuff, most folks here prolly don't knw much macosx. [00:35] geirha, what card? and how do you get it back to open source driver? [00:35] and the CPU maxes out at random times [00:35] yeah, was a wild shot, thanks anyway [00:35] cjae : the open source driver least supports dualhed, also : [00:35] !dualhead [00:35] Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama [00:35] DasEi, opensource support separate x screens? [00:36] I do not want to extend [00:36] cjae: The important part is SubSection "Display" and the two following lines, which tell it to allocate enough memory to extend the 1280x1024 monitor to the left of the 1360x768 TV [00:36] cjae: 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc 760G [Radeon 3000] [00:36] !xinerama | cjae [00:36] cjae: xinerama is an extension to !X to use two or more physical displays as one large virtual display. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo - See also !DualHead [00:37] brian_: get you gnom0... think working? [00:37] !virtualbox [00:37] virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer.

Never bothered with that myself ... [00:39] some1 can tell me what is virtual box? virtual machine? [00:39] hi everyone [00:39] haf1z: it's a virtual machine [00:39] what are the necessary files to download from the ubuntu nvidia ppa? [00:39] i want to install the latest 190 drivers [00:39] lstarnes: how it works? [00:39] lstarnes: is it the same with wine? [00:40] haf1z: wine isn't a virtual machine. It's an emulation of the windows API/ABI [00:40] haf1z: Instead of a harddrive, it uses a file, which the operating system inside the virtual machine will think is a genuine hard drive. Same with audio card, video card etc. [00:40] DasEi, basically I would I have a xorg that would resemble this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=98456 and substitute whatever the opensource driver is for nvidia geirha [00:40] should work... no? [00:41] lstarnes: what is the function vbox? [00:41] haf1z: virtualbox is a virtual machine [00:42] haf1z: vbox is another name for virtualbox [00:42] ok this is stupid, why can't I access my usb flash drive from my vm? [00:42] lstarnes: can it be same with dualboot? [00:42] haf1z: it's different from a dualboot [00:42] GuidMorrow: because you're using vbox-ose instead of the vbox version off their site? [00:43] WHAT [00:43] haf1z: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtualization [00:43] haf1z: a true dualboot doesn't use any emulation and runs directly on the actual hardware [00:43] GuidMorrow: are you using virtualbox? [00:43] can someone tell me why "sudo shutdown -h now" has completley stopped working, BUT "sudi init 0" works properly in shuttung the computer down ?? [00:44] cjae:this is a pointer in the direction ;; I'd try to get a working xorg in your desired setup from 8.04 and then alter it for jaunty [00:44] do you have any advice, since i am new.. is that vm is for advanced user or what? [00:44] ericab: You turn your computer off like this: sudo shutdown -P now [00:44] haf1z: maybe more intermediate [00:44] Section "Device" [00:44] Identifier "NVIDIA Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5500]" Driver "nvidia" in this section what do I call the opensource ati driver geirha [00:44] haf1z: virtualbox is fairly easy to use [00:45] Flare183, i will try that, but "sudo shutdown -h now" used to work correctly, do you know what could have changed it ? [00:45] !virtualbox [00:45] GuidMorrow: with vm set off, enable usb in vbox, then devices > usb [00:45] virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer.

A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [00:45] Hello , I have an Ubuntu 9.04 on my Dell Latitude D830 - the wifi only works when i disable the driver and enable it again but when i reboot the machine same issue appears and i must disable and enable to get it working again - any ideas? [00:45] GuidMorrow: also you need the non-free one, ose = no usb [00:45] ericab: No, I don't. But I do know that sudo shutdown -P now works. [00:46] ill try it now, thnks [00:46] Anyone in here use a ATI radeon 4850 or 4870? [00:46] lstarnes: 1 more thing, whats is the benefit of using vm? [00:46] #ubuntu-tr [00:46] DasEi, I can make the separate screens work if the driver (open) supports it, or would I just be better off to use a older proprietary driver and how would I do that? [00:47] gnome is really slow for me. rather some things are. like typing takes a long time [00:47] haf1z: things that run in a vm don't have full hardware access and don't need to be installed on a hard disk partition [00:47] as does scrolling [00:47] docgnome: Try using Xubuntu then. [00:47] DasEi, not switching to 8.04 have lvm setup already can I use a older ati driver in jaunty at all? [00:47] what is the command to get the path of a package? [00:47] i have compiz running. when i turn it off everything is ok, but the windows repaint very slowly [00:47] haf1z: plus some virtual machines, like qemu, support other architectures, like mips or sparc [00:47] what's the bottom bar with icons on it called? [00:47] Flare183: yeah, didn't help [00:47] Flare183: same behavior [00:47] lstarnes: so, i think its better to use dualboot right? [00:47] haf1z: Install Ubuntu in a VM, and you can experiment with everything you want, without affecting your main system [00:47] haf1z: it depends on what you need to do [00:47] Hello , I have an Ubuntu 9.04 on my Dell Latitude D830 - the wifi only works when i disable the driver and enable it again but when i reboot the machine same issue appears and i must disable and enable to get it working again - any ideas? [00:48] haf1z: like e-ID, doesn't work too well in linux, but you can just use a vm instead of dual booting. :P [00:48] docgnome: Turn off the remote desktop, and the tracker/file indexer [00:48] why didn't you tell me "VirtualBox OSE" was the wrong version [00:48] cjae: either you get the propi thing from 8.04 to get the config or must now, as I become tired ask again or google your 9600 jaunty dualhead; you can for sure downgrade xorg and have aticontrolcenter with propitary driver [00:49] hi friends [00:49] any ubuntu specialists around === kaddi1 is now known as kaddi [00:49] Flare183: where is the indexing? [00:49] so guys, let say im running linux on windows. i did write file and save in linux. then i reboot. does the file i save remains?

[01:28] Lord_Pall, sudo apt-get update, then sudo apt-get install [01:28] Layman - I would think so, but I can't find it [01:28] arquebus: in /usr/share/icons or /usr/share/pixmaps you should find an icon named orca.png or orca.xpm [01:29] th0r: ah, ok [01:29] hello...for anyone using tovid, any options in particular that you use to clean up the video quality when it's re-encoded? ffmpeg is the only encoding method that doesn't occasionally result in problem disks but it looks blocky [01:29] I need a guide about installing ubuntu to and booting from a USB stick.

[02:55] inx-live: no, this is gnome-dictionary app (whatever it's called) [02:56] inx-live: no [02:56] inx-live: it's through gnome-dictionary [02:56] Mka | ectospasm how does it access the gnome-dictionary site? [02:56] what does "host+del" mean [02:56] inx-live: it access a dictd server [02:57] /ss/sses/ [02:57] s/ss/sses/ [02:57] ectospasm: oh. I'm not familiar with that... googling now.... === TannerS_AFK is now known as TannerS [02:58] Mka: did that suggestion work for you? [02:58] ectospasm | inx-live: it works! but I used to use "localhost" in intrepid and it used to work. thats for help. [02:58] yeah, I dunno why it changed. [02:58] Although I didn't install a local dictd server until I installed UNR (Jaunty) [02:59] richardcavell, hello works for me from the repos in 9.04 [02:59] inx-live: it accesses an offline WordNet dictionary [02:59] why can I hit this with FF: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/docutils/docutils-0.5.tar.gz?download [02:59] jedc: Well it's up to version 2.4-1 now [02:59] but not from the terminal? [02:59] Mka: ahh.. I see now [02:59] skyl: it's got a ? in it [03:00] ectospasm even without [03:00] richardcavell, the changelog is mostly to do with documentation, which makes sense since it is used in the packaging tutorials i think [03:00] skyl: you're changing the URL [03:00] how do I make linux join a windows workgroup? [03:00] the ? is important! [03:00] How do i find out what /dev my external USB device is plugged into? [03:00] smacktalk: see samba [03:01] Neurotiquette: sudo fdisk -L [03:01] mario3: i cannot find anything about your card (supported or not), can you run lspci in a terminal and see if you find your card? [03:01] ectospasm nope [03:01] Um, if it's part of a query it's important [03:01] Neurotiquette: look for the size that matches your usb drive [03:01] and a ? is not valid in a URL otherwise [03:01] detrix42: Thank you. [03:01] Neurotiquette: no prob [03:02] how do I make so that i do not have to enter the keyring password to my wifi network every time I reboot? [03:02] it doesnt seem ot see it in lspci [03:02] skyl: you need to escape the question mark so the shell doesn't try to interpret it. [03:02] I usually wrap the URL in quotes for that reason. [03:03] Multimedia controller: ViXS Systems, Inc. XCode 2100 Series? [03:04] mario3: what are you looking for? Seeing your card exactly depends on many things, including the lspci database being up to date [03:05] it shows the vid card adn the chipset related entriwes but idon t see anyting that relates to a tuner [03:05] how do i update the database? [03:05] how do you get a package to reinstall all the config files from the command line? [03:06] mik3y a sudo apt-get purge should clear config files [03:06] mario3: are you sure the tuner is supposed to show up as a separate device? [03:06] windows fails [03:06] stinky: you can go to system>admin.>authorizations I think, and the authorization should be under network-manager-settings... [03:06] GuidMorrow: my sentiments exactly [03:06] GuidMorrow: more often than not, yes [03:06] it is an asus phc3-100 -- well it is in a pci slot... shouldtn it be indicated? [03:06] it says it doesn't have processor DEP when whenever Windows was running by itself it ran without reporting any problem [03:07] mario3: so it's separate from the machine? [03:07] It may be an unknown device [03:07] yes [03:07] and what is this "nested paging" thing [03:07] it is a relatively new card [03:08] Look up the Asus PCI ID, see if you see any devices for that on there === vic is now known as Guest76756 [03:08] you may need to use lspci -vvn to see all of that info [03:08] Neurotiquette: did that work for you [03:08] in order to configure your video card, press the start button. then click on the control panel icon. [03:08] Or just "lspci | grep -i asus" [03:09] *dies of a gunshot wound to the head* [03:09] well, they can't assume any prior knowledge [03:09] I need some help with an nvidia drive/module. awhile back I tried to upgrade the video driver by going to nvidia's website. There were problems, so I went back to the ubuntu community supported restricted driver. BUT!!! I am getting the following error: NVIDIA kernel module has version 173.14.16, but this NVIDIA driver component has version 173.14.20. === sintryx is now known as d-_-b === d-_-b is now known as sintryx [03:10] detrix42: you should probably only use the Ubuntu restricted driver. I ran into a problem with my machine at work because I forced the "latest" driver onto my machine, and it totally borked === addchild314 is now known as addchild314_afk [03:11] anyone experience completely slow ubuntu when moving 10+ gb from Slave to Master hard drives..? [03:11] ! sudo [03:11] sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [03:12] how do I fix daemontools-run? it keeps exiting with an error code of "1", and won't let me install anything else [03:12] sintryx: that probably depends on your HD transfer speeds, your HD controller(s), and your I/O capacity [03:12] ectospasm: correct. I am trying to go back to the ubuntu restricted mod. I have. but due to the upgrade a component is still marked with the upgrade version....I can't seem to undo that. [03:12] sintryx, do you mean that even the interface stops responding? [03:13] sintryx, cable select fwt [03:13] ftw* [03:13] sounds for me like "the usual beeing busy lag " [03:13] sevodnya, the only window responsive is the actual transfer, where it shows speed / files / eta etc. [03:13] these are hard drives in a laptop [03:13] detrix42: IIRC I didn't use the stock nVidia module and stuff, I just forced what's in the Ubuntu repos [03:13] how do I fix daemontools-run? it keeps exiting with an error code of "1", and won't let me install anything else [03:13] I'm pulling hair out with a weird grub problem... I've got a software raid5 as my / and a normal disk as my /boot - all of the grub tools are completely failing on me with ubuntu leaving me with basically an unusable system [03:13] i guess i will reboot to windows a dn see what belarc identifies for that card [03:13] it isnt here as far as i cna see [03:13] sartan: how are they failing? [03:14] ectospasm, anyway to check the speeds? [03:14] i'm at a point now where grub loads, my PC boots to a grub> prompt, and i'm able to manually specify kernel /vmlinuz-etc root=/dev/mapper/LVM-root & initrd /initrd-etc [03:14] ectospasm: The scripts seem to run, but i'm not completely sure what they're doing [03:14] sintryx: hdparm might be able to tell you, but I don't know that tool very well [03:14] my menu.lst file looks ok, but it's like grub is ignoring it [03:14] ectospasm, ill check it out thx [03:15] there doesnt seem to be anyting in /dev either... [03:15] brb [03:15] what i'd like to do is i suppos eunderstand the difference between stages at a high level so i can pinpoint where the boot process is failing, so i can target my efforts to correct it. running grub-install & update-grub over and over doesn't seem to be doing very well for me. [03:15] ectospasm: How do I force the repo driver....I have tried in synaptic to do a full reinstall, but I still have the problem... I am about reinstall ubuntu === addchild314_afk is now known as addchild314 [03:16] detrix42: that's what I'd do, it's less hassle [03:16] detrix42: unless your home directories aren't on their own partition(s) [03:17] ...googling - doesn't look like i'm getting to stage 1.5 [03:17] or 1.5 isn't loading stage 2 [03:17] ectospasm: I am running a backup of the whole system....argh [03:17] detrix42: ouch [03:17] ca [03:17] next time, put your home directories on their own partition [03:18] how can I repair this error? "E: daemontools-run: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1" [03:18] then if you have to reinstall, you don't need to wipe out all of your files [03:18] detrix42: when are you getting that error [03:18] jeeves_Moss: whats giving that error? [03:18] jeeves_Moss: I don't know daemontools, but that's not a very descriptive error [03:18] We need more verbosity [03:19] jeeves_Moss: you are tryign to use that windows disk-emulator program Daemontools in linux with wine? [03:19] ectospasm: I will probibly do that, but there are other areas of the system that need the back up...like all the libraries I have collected... [03:19] when I try to install any new software, it gives me an error that just specifys that daemontools-run won't update, and when I try to reinstall it, I get that error [03:19] viking.dal.net [03:19] it's gotta be easier to fix nvidia than to re-install ubuntu [03:19] how do i enable voice chat in Gyachi? [03:19] Ben64: it's simpler because it's a known solution [03:20] Ben64: I have installed the game PlaneShift. its setup program tests the video card capabilities. I get the error then. [03:20] Does iTunes run in Ubuntu? [03:20] LinksFan: if it does, I'm a happy man! [03:20] LinksFan: under Wine, no syncing [03:20] you could try uninstalling nvidia through synaptic, then installing the one from nvidia.com [03:20] but, alas, I don't think so [03:20] Wine chokes on it === Adam is now known as Guest18247 [03:21] Ah well. Worth asking, at least! [03:21] ...at least the latest version [03:21] but then when your kernel updates, you would have to do it again [03:21] Ben64: you've got it backwards [03:21] He tried that already, and now he's trying to revert to the repo one [03:21] how so [03:21] Whenever I try to ssh into my system I get "access denied" (with correct password) whenever I try to log in as anyone except the user I created when I installed the system. Suggestions? [03:21] duiu: not all users have ssh access [03:21] ectospasm: he tried installing nvidia.com over top of synaptic's [03:22] ! kde [03:22] KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu. To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop », or see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE . See http://kubuntu.org for more information. For more information on KDE 4, see !kde4 [03:22] ectospasm: So how do I give them access? [03:22] Ben64: yes I did about 3 months ago [03:22] duiu: hold on, researching [03:22] Ben64: then I had problems and had to go back to the repo driver === addchild314 is now known as addchild314_afk [03:23] well if you think re-installing is good, go for it [03:23] i just hate doing that myself [03:23] Ben64: I am dreading it. but.... [03:23] duiu: what does the -vvv option to ssh tell you when you try to connect and it fails? [03:24] just remember, don't install stuff without synaptic [03:25] Ben64: using apt is OK [03:26] Ben64: but that takes all the fun out of learning how to be a linux system admin....lol cough...cough... [03:27] heh... I can't wait for the linux monolith to drop out of the collective consciousness. "Do you know Debian?" "Do you know Red Hat?" instead of Linux [03:28] I should take that to OT [03:29] what ubuntu package contains URLLIB2 for python? [03:29] anyone know how to make windows stop auto-maximizing after uninstalling ubuntu-netbook-remix? === addchild314_afk is now known as addchild314 [03:31] jeeves_Moss http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/articles/urllib2.shtml ? [03:31] br34l, thanks. [03:31] jeeves_Moss: if you know the name of the file (and it's on your system) you can use dpkg-query /path/to/file [03:31] ectospasm: goes through a bunch of stuff, then defaults to remaining method password [03:32] ectospasm, that's the problem. I don't think it's installed. I got a script from someone that needs urllib and urllib2, and I can't find them for Ubuntu [03:32] so what happens when you give it the password, duiu? === UdontKnow is now known as UdrunkNow [03:32] We should focus in the coming releases on allowing the user to do more things without the terminal [03:32] how can i undeclare a function in bash? [03:32] ipatrol: using the terminal should always be an option, though [03:32] and quicker too [03:32] yes [03:32] ectospasm: sends a pack, waits for replecy, auth than can continue : publickey, password, then the permission denied [03:33] *packet, repley [03:33] **reply [03:33] before you give it the password? [03:33] whats the best app to back up ubuntu? [03:33] ectospasm: after [03:33] To delete a function? Declare it again as nothing [03:33] ectospasm: I'd copy it to pastebin but I'm on cygwin and can't highlight, and redirection isn't working [03:34] evilGUI? [03:34] duiu: can you help me? [03:34] duiu: I dunno what it could be [03:34] Steil: !ask [03:34] !ask [03:34] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [03:34] Unless the user's shell is set to something not executable [03:34] !ask How do I make ubuntu work fast on my old computer because it goes slow when i try to play videos [03:34] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [03:35] Been using Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope as my sole system for 7 days now. No problems I could not overcome except for my printer === Nightw0lf is now known as Nightwolf [03:35] Quarterstaff: that may be your printer manufacturers fault [03:35] Although linuxprinting.org has come a LONG way [03:35] Steil, what cpu are you using and how much memory do you have in it? [03:35] Steil: you don't need the !ask, I was just informing you that you should not ask to ask, and you can't speed it up, your computer just sucks. You could try Xubuntu instead, but you're pretty much screwed [03:35] Steil: anything that starts with a ! is food for a bot. Don't feed it too much ;) [03:36] ectospasm, Yes! I need a new printer [03:36] Steil: Also, what type of video are you trying to play? [03:36] i have pentium 4 1.4ghz with 512mb ram [03:36] The Xerox they got at work is niiiice, but I can't afford that [03:36] i try to play veronica mars [03:36] Steil: what version of ubuntu? [03:36] 4 [03:36] Steil, use xubuntu or add more memory. [03:36] 9.4 [03:36] steil, what type of video card in your system? [03:36] Steil: on DVD? [03:36] no [03:36] it .avi [03:37] intel video on board [03:37] RAM and CPU become an issue on older hardware [03:37] it cant have more memory [03:37] disable desktop effects [03:37] Stiel, it should run ok on most systems, what are your hardware specs? [03:37] desktop effects dont even turn on [03:37] Stiel, like duiu and olddude67 said, you could try using xfce instead of gnome, its a little lighter weight [03:37] it 1.4ghz 512mb ram [03:37] what is xfce? [03:37] For those transitioning, I woulf suggest using a good virtual machine until you can get everything to work [03:37] xubuntu [03:37] i dont want to pay for it [03:37] a desktop enviroment [03:37] i dont have money to buy another ubuntu [03:37] Steil: aptititude -y install xubuntu-desktop [03:37] Steil: there could be several bottlenecks. Best way is to run a system monitor (like top) and see what process takes the most processor and other resources, when you run the video. [03:38] lol because it cost so much money [03:38] Ubuntu is free XD [03:38] steil, is that a dell? [03:38] er, aptitude [03:38] Is broadcom support for Linux still in the shitter? I'm considering buying a laptop that might have either atheros or broadcom, but I don't wanna mess around with ndiswarpper. [03:38] Stiel, "sudo apt-get install xfce4" in a terminal, before logging in go to options->sessions and choose xfce [03:38] couple of problems with firefox 3.5 in jaunty...the flash plugin crashes when fullscreened (official nonfree package) and the java plugin seems to crash at random...neither of these happen with the "prepackaged" version of firefox that you download from the mozilla site [03:38] how i use top [03:38] noamsml: atheros works out of the box for me on my Samsung N110 [03:38] ubuntu is free????? [03:38] i pay $9.99 for it [03:38] Yes [03:38] voss it not dell [03:38] it compaq [03:39] Steil: you must have paid for the media it came on [03:39] Steil: who charged you for ubuntu? [03:39] oh [03:39] the computer store charge $9.99 [03:39] charging for Ubuntu is not illegal [03:39] lol [03:39] sue them [03:39] Steil: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu [03:39] ectospasm: I know, I was asking about Broadcom, since I have bad memories. [03:39] steil, you can download it and burn it to a cd for free on your own [03:39] Steil: they can charge a reasonable amount for media/copying [03:39] i had to bring in my own cd [03:39] if you paied 10 bucks for free software, you've been cheated [03:39] br34l: it isn't illegal to sell ubuntu ;) [03:39] they put it on [03:39] steil, you got ripped off :( [03:39] i bring my cd and they put it on [03:39] :( [03:39] noamsml: I dunno about broadcom. The Broadcom USB adapter I have in my machine up front blows nastly clam chunks [03:39] hello, i've a home server providing some services like ssh, http, etc.. and i set it up as home.mydomain.com, i wanted to use virtualhosts like git.home.mydomain.com etc.. what should i do? do i need a domain server running? [03:39] Steil: so you paied them to think/research for you. [03:39] dragon: it should be ^^ [03:40] noamsml: I'm running on Broadcom wireless here, internal to my laptop, and it's fine. [03:40] !shippit | Steil [03:40] Sorry, I don't know anything about shippit [03:40] !shipit | Steil [03:40] Steil: shipit is a service that sends free Ubuntu and Kubuntu CDs. See http://shipit.ubuntu.com/ and http://shipit.kubuntu.org - Shipit will send Jaunty (9.04) CDs [03:40] br34l: i see your point, but it's all for freedom. [03:40] o [03:40] so is this where i ca get some screen resolution help? [03:40] ok [03:40] so i can get it [03:40] but [03:40] darth: sure, why not [03:40] how they know where i live? === leachim6 is now known as Guest72514 [03:40] DarthBrady: what video card [03:40] Steil: you....tell them :/ [03:41] i dont want address online [03:41] none mobo video [03:41] dragon : yeah, thought so :) thats very good and it should be that way ;) [03:41] Steil: check the website, you'll figure it out [03:41] Steil, its much faster to download the iso online and burn it to a cd yourself [03:41] can u link me? [03:41] DarthBrady: should be a video chipset then [03:41] Steil: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu [03:41] stiel, but if you already have it installed, you can just download xfce4, you dont need to reinstall the os [03:42] stiel, you should open System->administration->synaptic package manager and read the popup window information [03:42] i'll have to look it up.. [03:42] hi, for some reason my laptop doesn't change frequencies to the maximum [03:42] ! firestarter [03:42] Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Uncomplicated_Firewall_ufw), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI applications such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist [03:42] Steli:I can guide you [03:42] it goes to 600mhz max although the actual max is 1.6gh [03:43] MindSpark: what are you using to determine the current processor state/speed? [03:43] sevodnya, a gnome applet [03:44] sevodnya, actually an xfce applet [03:44] MindSpark: I have sometimes found those to be less than accurate; you might try downloding powertop and seeing if you can confirm that it's not working correctly. [03:44] ! ports [03:44] For instructions on how to set up port-forwarding (for games, torrents, webservers) see http://portforward.com - also see !firewall [03:46] sevodnya, powernowd: cpu0: 75Mhz - 600Mhz (8 steps) [03:46] before it used to show 200-1600 [03:47] fixed my grub issue by foregoing the fancy ubuntu scripts and running 'install' manually [03:47] MindSpark: that sounds like a BIOS configuration problem to me; did you recently install new memory, upgrade the BIOS firmware, or change BIOS settings? [03:47] When I first learned Ubuntu came with a bittorrent client, I deleted it [03:48] sevodnya, no [03:49] ipatrol: and why? its a pretty good one [03:49] IMHO Bittorrent = disc shoplifting [03:50] BitTorrent is perfectly legal, but some of the stuff put up isn't [03:50] ipatrol: I use BT to download Ubuntu ISOs [03:50] MUCH faster than any other method. Period [03:50] ipatrol: is watching tool-assisted speedruns legal? [03:50] I can not think of for myself a legit use [03:51] ipatrol: I just gave you one [03:51] i know some good reasons :P [03:51] Well, Public Domains Torrents supplies torrents of movies that are now in the public domain [03:51] MindSpark: the way both the ratios are multiplied by 3/8 suggests that the clock settings for the CPU are off for some reason. [03:51] I would rather wait an hour (as I did to download ubuntu) than use bittorrent [03:51] ipatrol: obviously you have no clue how many bands get known by willingly distributing their music for free on bittorrent [03:51] This should go OT [03:51] thats a mysterium [03:52] I hope MPAA/RIAA destroys it [03:52] sevodnya, what does this mean ? [03:52] ipatrol: you, sir, are an idiot. [03:52] !ot [03:52] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [03:52] !OT | ipatrol [03:52] ipatrol: please see above [03:52] ipatrol: they won't be able to, as long as there are legitimate uses [03:52] yeah, as I said earlier... [03:52] gee.. a legal use of bittorrent.. and.. you are against it.. :) [03:52] join #ubuntu-offtopic [03:52] Whoops >.< [03:53] Let's take this to #ubuntu-offtopic [03:53] ipatrol, bittorrent is a protocol and has both legal and illegal uses just like everything else on the internet. [03:53] hi, it's kinda weird but i looked everywhere :D so i ask [03:53] ipatrol: its not even worth discussing in there i think - have fun. [03:53] !bt [03:53] Sorry, I don't know anything about bt [03:53] ! bittorrent [03:53] Torrent clients: Transmission (GTK and terminal-based), Deluge-Torrent, Freeloader, BitStormLite, BitTornado-GUI (GTK), KTorrent (KDE), QTorrent (Qt), Azureus (Java), TorrentFlux (web-based), bittornado, rTorrent, cTorrent, bittorrent, aria2 (terminal-based) - FAQ: http://www.bittorrent.com/FAQ.html - See also !P2P [03:53] isn't transmission a bt client pre-installed in ubuntu [03:54] GuidMorrow: yes. Transmission is a Bittorrent client. It works very well. [03:54] i'm looking for a name of a cartoon, or characters: there was a dog, ans mabye his son this father was slow, talk funny and also slow. had big ears [03:54] GuidMorrow: its getting where more and more 'games' are also using bittorrent to distribute their data/updates/files also. [03:54] it wasnt huckelberty [03:54] hey [03:54] is there a way to get the beta torrentflux work [03:54] or is there alternative? [03:54] grzes, Goofy? [03:54] i love my torrentflux but it is so annoying now these days [03:54] no.. [03:54] MindSpark: Basically, the clock speed of the processor is dependent on subdividing a signal sent out from a quartz oscillator. If that gets misconfigured somehow (typically in BIOS settings), the processor will run at lower speeds. [03:54] Steil: try the source? [03:55] Dr_Willis: it does not work [03:55] Steil: fule a bug. :) [03:55] :( [03:55] sevodnya, I am thinking this might be set low when the laptop is on battery ? [03:55] he walks and talks slowly, but he was invincible. and had this funny laugh. [03:55] Dr_Willis: they not work on it in long time [03:55] not goofy not huckelberry [03:55] FUCK [03:55] Steil: sounds like a good reason to look for alterantives then.

[03:56] sevodnya, yea, back when I used slackware I had to patch the kernel so it would run my processor [03:56] EAZY GUYS !!!!! [03:56] Dr_Willis: it works but the newest version beta does not [03:56] Steil: transmission has a web interface. [03:56] do i need GUI to use it? [03:57] Steil: as does ktorrent. [03:57] i dont have x on machine [03:57] !ot Steil [03:57] Sorry, I don't know anything about ot Steil [03:57] MindSpark: Using slackware, you encountered the same problem unless you patched the kernel? [03:57] do they need x? [03:57] Steil: now you want to start putting limitions on things.. guess ya go research the clients out. [03:57] oops [03:57] well fuck [03:57] do they need x or nto?

[03:58] steil: and a web interface [03:58] sevodnya, I had to patch the kernel so it would run the speedstepping. But that was maybe 7 years ago or so [03:58] addchild314: is it decent? [03:59] and thanks addchild314 you're awesome! Dr_Willis you're a fucking asshole. [03:59] MindSpark: Not really my area of expertise, but the problem you're encountering now doesn't sound like it would be caused by the Linux kernel.

[04:01] sevodnya, alright, thanks, I'll give that a shot [04:02] the nvidia driver pack should work with it... its in the universe repo on ubuntu.. restricetd drivers [04:02] ohlievher: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia [04:02] Stiel, rtorrent [04:02] MindSpark: np [04:03] steil, please watch your language, we are all volunteers trying to help, and most of us learned on our own by using google and such...

How can I get the digital clock widget to display 12 hour format instead of 24 hour? [04:06] http://paste.ubuntu.com/253909/ [04:07] Firefishe: i recall you have to use the 'time and date format' setting in the settings tools.. and then restart the clock. (and ive no idea why they cant just give the clock a checkbox to show 12/24 hr format) [04:08] Dr_Willis: Agreed on the checkbox. Which time settings tool? [04:08] oldude67: the PCI bus scan reports instances of "Brooktree Corporation Bt878", but can't find anything to configure the hardware with [04:08] Firefishe: under kde3 it was called 'time and date format' but i forget where its at in kde4 [04:08] the card is: ATI TV WONDER VE [04:09] Firefishe: that also sets the time/date for mat for all the kde apps.. Not just the clock. [04:10] Dr_Willis: Gotcha. The thing is, the System Settings-->Date and Time menu doesn't have any way to set the format. [04:10] Dr_Willis: It's like it's hiding ;) [04:10] hello anybody using xmonad here? [04:10] hi there guys, how can i check errors in an external hd? [04:10] i was reading something about the fsck [04:10] !ati [04:10] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [04:11] can someobe give me a tutorial to making my windows bar transparent? [04:11] Firefishe: yep. its soo super secret they have to hide it.. i suggested once to some kde list to put a menu item from the clock settings right to it.. :) [04:11] Dr_Willis: Also, since I have gnome installed, as well, I tried gnome's time settings tool, but alas, it, too, has no check box. [04:11] i need help, my hard disc is not working :( i dont know what to do [04:11] have you started looking for a package called testdisk? [04:12] Firefishe: Firefishe gnomes clock in the panel here has a adjust time and date menu item at least. :) [04:12] Dunkel: more specific? [04:12] i plug it to my computer and the sistem is not detecting it [04:12] Firefishe: and that clock does have a 12/24 hr option [04:12] it's not being detected in bios -_- [04:12] i know it has some problems because i fix that using the scandisc in other computer === Shinobi is now known as Guest88452 [04:13] it is a usb drive [04:13] so i thought using ubuntu i can fix it [04:13] did you "mount" it first [04:13] Dunkel: what filesystem is the drive using?

I've had talkd working for quite sometime and all of a sudden it quit. netstat shows it's listening on the proper ports but I keep getting a connection refused. I can't find anything on google and was hoping maybe somebody here would know why. I don't even have iptables installed on this thing === vorian is now known as v [04:13] Dr_Willis: Nice to have that in gnome, at least. Still, I believe there's a way to get every clock to display 12 hour format system-wide, but I forget how to do it. [04:13] addchild314, yes it works but does not support the effect features of ubuntu 9.04 [04:14] Dunkel: for ntfs - its best to let a wndows box scan/check the disk for errors. [04:14] Dunkel: can you pastebin the output of lsusb? [04:14] yeah wait [04:14] Dunkel: or use linux to mount it. and recover/rescue what you can from it.

[04:16] voss, hi ... yap it works fine without the special effects with ubuntu [04:16] voss, just chkg if there is a driver for ubuntu that supports its effect features [04:16] hallo [04:16] http://pastebin.com/m48a7b9b2 [04:17] ohl, compiz is problematic, honestly I turned it off and never noticed the difference [04:17] Which is the fastest 'C' Compiler on Ubuntu?

[04:20] Dr_Willis: how do i mount my drive on linux, im sorry if this is a newb question but im new on this sorry [04:20] SJr: how did you 'switch' ? [04:20] Dunkel: normally 'sudo mount /dev/devicename /media/MOUNTPointThatMustExistFirst [04:20] I installed kubuntu-desktop and then switched in the profile.

[04:20] itsme - gcc [04:20] msi u100 and ubuntu what the heck happened that it does not work in jaunty with wireless [04:20] Itsme, I believe the only C compiler is gcc [04:20] wow [04:20] I need to hit somebody [04:20] :) [04:20] sjr: remove ubuntu-desktop? [04:20] mike: please not me [04:21] Itsme: if you are just learning.. does it really matter? GCC is the standard for most linux's there are some others. [04:21] what is the mountpoint? [04:21] who cares, use gcc [04:21] wow [04:21] anyways [04:21] addchild314, dependancies are added as needed, not removed as not-needed.

[04:21] Ubuntu is one of the best distros i have used [04:22] is wireless better in the alpha [04:22] Dr_Willis did you see my lsusb result? [04:22] SJr: mike3: Dr_Willis: Which editor should I use with GCC? [04:22] Dr_Willis, I did that, and I'm running KDE right now, but I noticed alot of apps still use Gnome settings, and My desktop is gnome [04:22] Dr_Willis, do you know if the realtime kernel ubuntu studio uses in 9.04 is available in repos ? [04:22] Itsme, there are a bunch, if you are just learning a simple text editor should be what you use. [04:22] <_MrsApple_> im having alot of issues with my yahoo account. it seriously kills my computer... any reasons as to why?.. [04:22] i have my system setup how i like it and for the most part everything i use is installed and working .. [04:22] SJr: that.. made no sence.. if you are running KDE then how id your desktop gnome? [04:22] Dr_Willis, I don't know [04:22] Itsme: use whatever editor you like. I like geany. [04:23] how can i make a backup in it ALL so i can just restore it exactly how it is now [04:23] can anyone tell me what went wrong when I tried to burn this ISO twice?: http://pastebin.org/9314 [04:23] but in KDE if I right click on the background, I'm getting gnome context menus [04:23] !clone | chibihogoshino [04:23] chibihogoshino: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [04:23] SJr: you dident accidently run Nautilus some how did you? that can goof things up. [04:23] well, bye [04:23] chibihogoshino, that wont save all your personal settings but it's a start [04:23] SJr: perhaps make a new user and login to kde with them.. see if it uses kde or not. [04:23] is there a channel for irc servers? [04:23] Dr_Willis, that could have happened at some point in the past, I Believe that some file associations were broken. [04:24] yeah.. thats what i want tho.. a image of the hard dink. [04:24] disk [04:24] How do I burn an iso... Through a live cd? [04:24] SJr: ive seen that kde4 + gnome can cause some... issues if both used... [04:24] Dr_Willis, ah that was it, natalus was running [04:24] I go to eject the CD to put in a blank one and it gives me an error... [04:24] RPG_Master: the same way you do from the OS installed on your Harddrive === addchild314 is now known as addchild314_AFK [04:25] SJr: i recall speciciaally last i tried kde + gnome and xfce that the 'default tool to open special locations' keep getting confused. [04:25] yeah [04:25] RPG_Master: so long as you have a spare CD-writer that the livecd is not in [04:25] is there a way I can just scrap all of gnome [04:25] I have problem running Venus feed aggregator on Ubuntu Server 9.04. When I run the test script by sudo python runtests.py, the I get "segmentation fault" at the end. Why? [04:25] SJr: gnome started launching the kde file manager, or the xfce file manager for the gnome places -> whatever locations. [04:25] can anyone tell me what went wrong when I tried to burn this ISO twice?: http://pastebin.org/9314 [04:25] Thank you for reply SJr and Dr_Willis. [04:25] it was droopy :D:D i found it [04:25] SJr: then i fixed that.. kde started runnignthe gnome file manager for their special locations [04:25] cu [04:25] RPG_Master: you cannot eject the live cd without loading the contents to RAM first... ubuntu livecd maybe a little large [04:25] Yeah it's really annoying, and I hate gnome personally, I had to run it for a while because KDE sucked [04:26] koolkat: i have found that burner tool to be a little. flakey. I gent to just use k3b [04:26] TwoTwenty: But I've done it before with only one drive! I just cant remember how I did it.... [04:26] Why do I get "segmentation fault" when I try to run Venus feed aggregator on Ubuntu Server 9.04? [04:26] RPG_Master: you have to load the disc to ram and then unmount it Im guessing [04:26] SJr: did they do somthing to improve kde lately? last i tried it.. i couldent stand to use it. :) which is why im now using gnome. [04:26] What's the command for that? [04:27] how do i get wireless working with my msi u100 [04:27] Dr_Willis, it's gotten alot better since 4.0... [04:27] can anyone help me make a bootable usb image? [04:27] so LOST >_< [04:27] RPG: not certain its in the Ubuntu disk [04:27] RPG: I have done it with DSL livecd [04:28] I just despise gnome, but for dumb reasons, I hate the brown, it's UI feels like it was skinned in the 90's and like Linus' Law states: "You cannot claim that something is configurable, if there is no where to change the configuration" [04:28] TwoTwenty: I tried Puppy... it wouldn't boot :( [04:28] Sjr: gnome is not brown its blue in debian [04:28] RPG_Master, try crunchbang linux then [04:28] Yeah but I run ubuntu [04:28] RPG: can the computer boot USB [04:29] so.. i cant make a clone image and save that to a external hd and them boot from a restore cd and then clone that to the new hd ? [04:29] Sjr: ubuntu made the brown not gnome [04:29] Sjr: they customized it [04:29] I wiped my drive trying to troubleshoot boot problems, then I installed a fresh system and restored over that with a backup with sbackup, I am running this system now. after fixing the obvious problems of package discrepancies I am left with some dbus errors which I didn't notice before, so long story short, how do I reset dbus security to default settings? [04:29] Dr_Willis: I cant eject my DVD now since I tried to burn it. Is there anyway to do it without restarting? [04:29] TwoTwenty: I tried that awhile ago and it didn't work... I could try again though. [04:29] I know that but it still feels 'old' [04:29] Sjr: try using compiz [04:29] Yeah I know, it still feels old [04:30] SJr: i am constantly amazed at how all these 'new' innovations in gui 'research' and design.. really dont make things any easier.... :) [04:30] I've tried it, and that's a prime example of lack of configuration [04:30] Sjr, use E17. [04:30] Sjr: and playing with the themes, if you want the vista look go for KDE.. I like the clean dynamic interface of gnome personally [04:30] E17? [04:30] SJr, my gnome is blue [04:30] E17 - the windowmanager/desktop that re-invents itself every 3 years. [04:30] Sjr: feels old is in the head [04:30] My gnome is Hot Pink - with a Hello Kitty Icon theme. :) [04:30] Does anybody know of a command to query what window manager x is using? I'm trying to write a script to switch to compiz if xfwm is running, and vice versa [04:31] Dr_Willis, it would be [04:31] I prefer the clean dynamic interface of openbox, personally. I find gnome repugnant in the extreme. [04:31] Dr_willis, thats is really sad ;-) === addchild314_AFK is now known as addchild314 [04:31] Uberoff, openbox? [04:31] jmite: ive never seen sich a command. thers just too many different windowmanaagers.. [04:31] Uberoff: lol [04:31] i am trying thi sudo mount /mnt/sda1 [04:31] ok.. partimage will do what i want .. if any one else asks .. yay... http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/partimage [04:31] and i cant get it works [04:31] but live and let live, I say ;) [04:31] At least gnome doesnt have that retarded little foot anymore [04:32] Dr_Willis: I cant eject my DVD now since I tried to burn it. Is there anyway to do it without restarting? [04:32] Berzerker, openbox is a lightweight wm [04:32] dr willis: okay, thanks! [04:32] koolkat: try the eject command? [04:32] Berzerker, window manager. It's the only wm i use anymore [04:32] Uberoff, looks interesting. [04:32] Uberoff, would you mind helping me get it setup on my comp? [04:33] Dr_Willis: how does that work? [04:33] KDE lost me at 4.0. [04:33] Berzerker, well, to tell you the truth, it's the kind of window manager that if you can't install and configure it yourself, your probably better off using a "bigger" wm. Or maybe even XFCE4 or something [04:34] Uberoff, what's so different about it? [04:34] voss: 4.x is awesome the 4.0 "release" was aweful [04:34] KDE lost me in 1999 but it seems to have great features [04:34] these windows jiggle like jell-o [04:34] Actually I burned in Ubuntu CD through a Linux Mint Live CD [04:35] can window managers be change at any time? [04:35] Berzerker, install it and see. You can switch between wm's when ubuntu boots [04:35] I tried it again and it now gives me an error message... [04:35] nev, I hate to say it, but gnome is "good enough" now [04:35] RPG_Master: I think loading it into ram is a boottime option [04:35] Berzerker, "sudo apt-get install openbox" I imagine [04:35] ok [04:35] hello [04:35] Dr_Willis: how does that work? [04:35] How do I run planet-venus after installing it on Ubuntu Server? [04:35] RPG_Master: reboot and type help or hit the f keys for more possible boot time options [04:35] koolkat: short answer 'yes' - long answer.. it can be done.. and can be simple or complex. [04:35] koolkat: how does what work? [04:35] does anyone know much about ffmpeg? [04:35] Dr_Willis: the eject command [04:36] LunaticHyen: i know i spent an hr+ reading its faq/docs the other day to discover the exact answer to a question i had about it. :) [04:36] Uberoff, then just log out and switch VMs? [04:36] Is this possible... when Grub is giving me Error 22? [04:36] I need to burn The Super Grub Disc :P [04:36] koolkat: it sends some command to the kernel to eject the cd. :) [04:36] Berzerker, yeah. It's WMs (Window Managers) [04:36] ok. thanks [04:36] brb [04:36] xchat is using up 18MB memory, how do I reduce memory usage [04:37] GuidMorrow: you are worried about 18mb of memory? [04:37] RPG: its giving you err 22? [04:37] Dr_Willis: so you just types eject and it alrady knows to eject the CD? [04:37] koolkat: thats the default options for it. it has other options [04:37] addchild314: Yep... [04:37] :( [04:38] koolkat: ive seen it ised in 'server room banks' to identify a machine. :) ssh to the server ya want to find on the physical rack.. and do eject.. it opens its cd tray. :P [04:38] rpg: whats the story behind your problem? in brief? [04:38] Dr_Willis: i'm trying to get it to convert a file to theora, but it says there's no such thing as libtheora, even though the docs say that's how to do it, it works when I do 'ffmpeg -i file.mpg file.ogv' [04:38] Berzerker, chances are you won't like it at first. Most ppl don't. I probably didn't. As you get more experienced with *nix it grows on you [04:38] guid, you can always use ircii its text based [04:38] dR_Willis: it didn't work [04:38] dr_willis: ive also seen it used as the most epic reset switch ever [04:38] Dr_Willis: it didn't work [04:39] LunaticHyen: some versions of ffmpeg for ubuntu may or may not have all the file codecs/types compiled in. You want to convert TO theora.. hmm.. [04:39] addchild314: Today I deleted a 6gig Kubuntu partition and allocated that to my Ubuntu partition... Also, some moving to the left of the disk was involve :| [04:39] *involved [04:39] Uberoff, lol you said lightweight. you weren't kidding. [04:39] LunaticHyen: you did install libtheora0 - The Theora Video Compression Codec [04:40] no thank you sir.

The more experience you have, the more useful openbox (or any *box) is [04:40] Uberoff: you talking about xfce? [04:40] Okay, I'm trying to install Ubuntu, obviously (9.04, 32-bit), but I've been unable to get it to load properly. When I burnt the iso to a CD, it didn't recognize it, and when I tried creating a bootable thumbdrive, it refused to boot and my BIOS said "boot error". The MD5 hash is right, though. What am I doing wrong? [04:41] ah... the joy of going through the issue resolving with ubuntu begins again on a totally different system... [04:41] addchild314: let me try your command...

Thanks, I'll try one of those and see if that resolves the issue. [04:42] addchild314: it seems to be working here. [04:43] Zetta, if you have access to a windows computer, it would be easier. [04:43] RPG_master: use live cd backup on USB HDD and reinstall [04:43] rpg: i think its looking for a partition that isnt there anymore [04:43] addchild314: i may be using the ffmpeg from the medibuntu repositories - its version is --> FFmpeg version 0.5-svn17737+3:0.svn20090303-1ubuntu6, C [04:43] addchild314: and i just instelled that libtheora package also. [04:43] dr_willis: wha? [04:43] addchild314: im getting confused - :) who was it with the theora vonvertion issue? :) [04:43] Berzerker: I do, yes. I used InfraRecorder last time, but I'm guessing it didn't work. [04:44] i cant scroll UP fast enough to read the history buffer... [04:44] Zetta, try unetbootin [04:44] !unetbootin | Zedde [04:44] LunaticHyen: there we go. :) i got it working here.

[04:45] addchild314: shame on you :) [04:45] Again, tried that before, but it didn't work. It gave me "boot error" on trying to boot from the thumbdrive. [04:45] LunaticHyen: check versionof your ffmpeg --> FFmpeg version 0.5-svn17737+3:0.svn20090303-1ubuntu6 is what i have here.

Any help appreciated. [04:47] michael1: ndiswrapper or madwifi :) [04:50] gaintsura: not sure how to properly enable madwifi. (I know of madwifi only because I googled my problem). I "activated" it in the "Hardware Drivers" panel and rebooted, no luck [04:50] hello, what's the difference of pcm and master? [04:50] TwoTwenty: How do I go about doing that? [04:50] anyone have a how to on setting up vnc between two vboxed ubuntu clients? [04:50] :) [04:51] smacktalk: check their ip's and the vbox network settings. You can set them up on theor own private 'vrtual' lan. or on the host lan. [04:52] I have the ip's and the vbox's are set up as bridged [04:52] ok [04:52] I can ping...just can't do vnc [04:52] 'bridged' ? Hmm virtualbox settings ehre (on ubutnu) are NAT/host Interface/ or Internal network [04:53] i need some help [04:53] im kind of new to linux [04:53] michael1: hold on, is that an Atheros AR5007EG ? [04:53] which package do i get if i want to compile my own kernel for ubuntu 8.04 [04:53] smacktalk: One of those make the vbox machine appear on the local lan as if it was a 'real' machine. [04:53] collinm140, ask away and someone will help if they can [04:53] How do I which command I'll have to use? [04:53] smacktalk: the internal - is just for vbox to vbox machines (i think) [04:53] I wiped my drive trying to troubleshoot boot problems, then I installed a fresh system and restored over that with a backup with sbackup, I am running this system now. after fixing the obvious problems of package discrepancies I am left with some dbus errors which I didn't notice before, so long story short, how do I reset dbus security to default settings? [04:53] hey everyone [04:53] Okay, I reinstalled Ubuntu onto my thumb drive using unetbootin, and when I try to boot from the drive, it says "Boot error" and just waits. If I take out the drive, bootup proceeds into windows. [04:54] can someone tell me how to get steam on this [04:54] ? [04:54] How can I fin what command I'll have to use to run planet-venus? [04:54] Dr_Willis: the internal? [04:54] *find [04:54] im using jaunty with gnome and im looking for an easy to use program that can send files over a local network. samba is not an option here [04:55] smacktalk: you may want to check teh virtualbox docs for the specifics.. (going form memory here) Internal (used by 2 vbox instances to allow testing of a safe network) [04:55] could anyone help me out with this please? [04:55] how do i get steam on ubuntu [04:55] ? [04:55] gaintsura: Atheros 5211 according to dmesg output from a device called wifi0 [04:55] smacktalk: 'nat' the vbox machine will have a ip that is "natt'ed' to the outside world [04:56] i dont have volume control [04:56] wats the problem [04:56] ? [04:56] Oh, lovely. I've even managed to stump the guys in the support channel. XD [04:57] Zetta: booting from usb - has always been quirky [04:57] id reccomend using an iso [04:57] thats what i did [04:57] Zetta: theres no 'sure' thing. its often a issue of the drive/pc bios/phase of the moon. [04:57] if ur looking for unr [04:57] just look it up [04:57] Zetta: try the flash drive in other machines. see if it works there.

[05:00] sudo apt-get remove kde? [05:00] Zetta: I had bad luck with unetbootin also. There are other programs out there to do the same. I am currently running sidux off of usb because the installation went flawlessly from the disk image. [05:00] !puregnome | Berzerker [05:00] Berzerker: If you want to remove all !KDE packages, type « sudo apt-get remove kdelibs4c2 kdelibs5-data && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » into a !terminal [05:02] gaintsura: oh my goodness i made a gigantic user error. my wifi was set to only do G and N, but not B which is the only thing this machine can. thanks for your help though. too bad the error message was so helpful...

[05:10] phirestalker, just a dumb question are you in the dbus group? [05:11] in laptops, what do you call the keys which can trigger event by touching them? [05:12] anyone know of a jaunty package for usb-creator [05:13] thinking of making the ubuntu computer at home double up as a home server. i'll still work on it, but, hoping to use it to stream media from it to the laptop connected to tv, print from the laptop to the printer connected to the server etc. Is there a guide to this? [05:13] hi all! [05:13] anyone? :D [05:13] oldude67, I don't see a dbus group, I see a messagebus group, but noone is a member of that [05:14] phirestalker oldude67 there's a plugdev group type groups as user [05:14] nsahoo: most every linux distro can handle server tasks. :) [05:15] nsahoo: i use my ubuntu desktop to doo most all teh stuff you mentioned. [05:15] Dr_Willis: sure, I am not sure what all server programs I need and how to set it up [05:15] nsahoo: pick a service.. research it.. do it. :) [05:15] i was just googling around to see if there was an answer for you phirestalker [05:15] nsahoo: for sharing files withwindows machines, thats 'samba' [05:15] jetsaredim: theres usb-creator and a usb-imagewriter in the repos and a http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ [05:15] nsahoo: depends on what you want to do with it [05:15] nsahoo: samba and cups - also used for shareing printers. [05:15] oldude67, I don't even see a group called plugdev is my system that messed up? [05:15] Dr_Willis: Yes. I can use samba, but, what about upnp? [05:16] nsahoo: there are sone uPNP servers for ubuntu also.. but ive never tried them. I just access the videos 'share' normally [05:16] oldude67, oh well I have tried googling a bit, I'm having trouble getting the right terms to narrow it down [05:16] !upnp [05:16] To stream media to other UPNP aware devices (such as the Xbox, PS3, or iRadio) you need a UPNP server. See !info mediatomb for information regarding the MediaTomb package === addchild314 is now known as addchild314_AFK [05:16] phirestalker: adduser plugdev and log out and back in again to make it effective.. then you can plug usb devices in [05:16] has anyone gotten pptpd up and running? [05:17] join /#ubuntu [05:17] Dr_Willis: laptop runs vista home premium with media center, I think it plays well with upnp, but, there was some security issues with upnp from what I heard [05:17] I can't seem to get it working [05:17] oi [05:17] hi [05:17] !br | hian_ [05:17] !info mediatomb [05:17] hian_: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português.

But, when you play a 1.5 GB file say, does it need to transfer the whole thing? [05:18] Hmm.. where did i find that xbmc repo/binary at.. [05:18] nsahoo: no. [05:19] bucky, it's not a usb device problem it is just errors showing up in my auth.log, which I suspect is the reason that tomboy always has some error attaching to the panel at startup, among other small issues [05:19] Dr_Willis: so, it streams, so to speak [05:19] nsahoo: you see that with some dumb file managers under linux at times. :) but no it does not copy then play under most cases [05:19] nsahoo: it 'sends' :) and playas as it gets. [05:19] nsahoo: wife watches videos like that all the time on her windows box. [05:20] nsahoo: this way she can make playlists and other tricks with the file manager. [05:20] Dr_Willis: cool [05:20] !xbmc [05:20] Sorry, I don't know anything about xbmc [05:20] Dr_Willis, http://xbmc.org/wiki/?title=HOW-TO_install_XBMC_for_Linux_on_Ubuntu_with_a_minimal_installation_step-by-step (interesting!) [05:20] phirestalker, what was you doing before you got these errors? or what has caused them? [05:20] Dr_Willis: so, you are saying I'll just setup samba and should be all good. I can set up cups for printer sharing later .. and most functionalities are there [05:21] ok there is something wrong with my users and groups program, root isn't checked off in the root group [05:21] phirestalker: could this be the problem? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/jaunty/+source/tomboy/+bug/345166 [05:21] bucky, oldude67, it seems that my problem is bigger than I thought? [05:21] * tak11 is away: Eating a Banana, gtfo [05:22] hey yall [05:22] nsahoo: cups is allready intalled and im pretty sure it allready shares the printers by default [05:22] bucky, oldude67, no groups have users checked off in them, although that can't really be true [05:22] nsahoo: cups and samba work together i think to let windows box's print [05:22] Dr_Willis: I am using the desktop version, not the server one [05:22] !away > tak11 [05:22] tak11, please see my private message [05:22] phirestalker: i think i found it http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=628909 [05:22] nsahoo: it does NOT matter. [05:22] Dr_Willis: ok [05:23] nsahoo: the desktop version can work as a server. :) and cups is used on the desktop also [05:23] Dr_Willis: sure, it's just that I was not sure cups was already installed [05:23] Dr_Willis: ok [05:23] Hey anybody here know much about getting MTP players to transfer with Amarok? Bit of a strange problem...never had before [05:24] phirestalker, have you tried adding yourself to some of the groups you need? [05:24] phirestalker: Essentially, edit the tomboy menu item and get rid of the --search argument [05:24] bucky, well it will start up just fine, it's just the panel applet doesn't want to work on startup, but if I add the applet again after startup it will work [05:24] is there any advantage to freenas then? if you have more than a minimal hardware computer? [05:25] hi [05:26] bucky, you mean for the applet on the panel? how do I do that? [05:26] oldude67, well I'm not sure I want to do it graphically since it isn't showing accurate info, so what was the command again?

[05:42] hey arleslie ;) [05:42] phirestalker: wait a minute... how about this http://v2kblog.blogspot.com/2009/05/dbus-daemon-rejected-send-message.html [05:43] chriss8, to do the desktop theme, go to System > Administation and click switch to Desktop Version [05:43] apoleo12, hey [05:43] * tak11 is back (gone 00:21:42) [05:43] Dr_Willis: er, too deep for me.. hehehe i'll just let these dang multimedia keys pass for now :D [05:43] chriss8: i install the ubuntu-desktop package then use the settings tool to tell it to not use the UNR interface. [05:44] chriss8: apt-get install ubuntu-netbook-remix-default-settings and ubuntu-netbook-remix-default-settings [05:44] arleslie: Oh. That wa ssimple. Thanks. [05:44] Dr_Willis, he doesn't have to install the ubuntu-desktop package [05:44] dsdeiz_: took me some time. Most of that file is comments. i had to figure out what keys were what.. and remap them to the right XF86xxxxxxxx [05:44] chriss8: and netbook-launcher too [05:44] if not using the UNR. i found things lacking without ubuntu-desktop :) [05:44] bucky, that bug report on launchpad seems to have the exact error message so there is that issue most likely [05:44] phirestalker: looks like it [05:45] arleslie: before i do some grub repair.. there's soemthing I wanna clarify something here. the grub according to the menu.lst is pointing at h2,4 but according to windows disk managment; linux is on the third drive on a first partition [05:45] bucky, I'll keep an eye on the bug report [05:45] the UNR is neat in ways.. and VERy annoying in others. [05:45] chriss8, there's a button under preferences, "switch desktop mode" just use that [05:45] I dont expect ya to remember my plm.. but does that refresh it? [05:45] Okay, I'm confused. Should I get the netbook edition, or the desktop one? Or is there no real difference, and it's just a matter of preference? [05:45] phirestalker: try the fix.. back up the file like in the example and edit it [05:45] chriss8: what is your netbook? i use the netbook edition on my AAO [05:45] apoleo12, then where it says hd (0,1) it should be hd (3,1) [05:45] Dr_Willis: eee pc 1005HA [05:46] chriss8: check the forums for how well the EEE stuff is supported there are some EEE specific ubuntu variants also [05:46] cannot execute: " its under logging just get rid of display scroll back" [05:46] apoleo12, I remember it [05:46] !dualboot | apoleo12 [05:46] apoleo12: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [05:47] arleslie: im gomnna go in to liveCD to do ggrub editing after i finish reading the links I got from you [05:47] apoleo12, ^^ theres the links you need [05:47] * GuidMorrow . o O Syntax error [05:47] mine isn't a mac..

I want to remove desktop and all its apps [06:12] arleslie, such a fun sponge. [06:12] Why does it take so long to resize a hd ugh. [06:12] spO: no. thats a 'meta package' removing that package will in fact.. remove.. not much of anything [06:12] pretty sure it does [06:12] SealedWithAKiss, I just follow rules [06:12] =/ [06:12] is it easier partioning while installing, or doing it before you install? [06:12] obx: windows can resize ntfs MUCH faster then the linux tools do. [06:12] arleslie, follow them or enforce them? [06:12] SealedWithAKiss, well both [06:12] obx: like 4x+ faster. [06:13] but how do you resize in windows if the hd is being used D: [06:13] obx: no idea how it works.. but it did for me :) [06:13] obx: black magic? [06:13] i figured voodoo had a part of it [06:13] arleslie, relax. Sounds as though you need somebody to go OT in here once in a while to mix things up. Unless your aware of a toilet paper printing channel? [06:13] how can i remove all of desktop related things in ubuntu? [06:14] Is there the possibility of having different backgrounds for each panel? [06:14] SealedWithAKiss, take chat elsewhere [06:14] Dr_Willis, Windows uses DOS to format, if you want to do a full format it takes forever but it does quick formats 4x faster. I would recommend on using the ubuntu formater or gParted [06:14] arleslie: he asked about resuzing. [06:14] I'm using parted to resize [06:14] but it sure is taking a long time :( [06:15] obx, gParted usally doesn't take more then 10 mintues to resize [06:15] obx: yes.. gparted reszing is a lot slower then booting to windows and lettting windows resize it. [06:15] yeah this has been going on for 13 >> [06:15] obx: you are resizing a ntfs right? [06:15] hmm [06:15] yeah [06:15] It took me about 10 minutes to partition 1tb [06:15] it's usually better to delete ntfs [06:15] am i doing it wrong D:? [06:15] Dr_Willis, well then idk why gParted is so quick on my machine, it only took 30 minutes to create and format 3 partitions and then setting the flags [06:16] arleslie: create/formating is not the same as 'resizing' a partition and keeping the existing data [06:16] oi [06:17] Dr_Willis, I've resized partitions also and it took less then 3 minutes [06:17] my computer is just a big dumb? [06:17] 1111 [06:17] arleslie: go try resizing a 1tb partition thats 90% full... and take a nap. [06:17] arleslie: have your ead this? http://www.nishants.net/articles/ntfsresize.htm [06:17] Great! [06:18] Ubuntu 8.04 kernel panicked, AGAIN, on installation. [06:18] its also a good idea to defrag befor resizing. [06:18] how do i (force) log someone out ? besides just killing their shell [06:18] Dr_Willis, well I usally do only resize 10% full partitions, so thats probly why [06:18] which one of these work best for burning an ISO to a CD, again? [06:18] psi-jack: what kind of system is it? [06:18] arleslie: :) yes.. it would resize one thats 0% full even faster i bet!

[07:33] dr_willis: just curious: the bootloader is a file? or it only writes on the first sector? [07:33] once you get your gnome-do fu skills going you dont need no dock. :) [07:33] apoloeo12: grub tools install a proper bootloader to the master bootrecord of the drive. [07:33] OK [07:33] What exactly does unmounting a partition do? [07:34] Pseudo_Bob: disconnectes it from the filesystem 'tree' [07:34] when i do a | grep -i .com, it matches just the com part... is there a way to make it match ".com" with the . [07:34] Pseudo_Bob: :) [07:34] Pseudo_Bob: makes it where its not accessable from the system normally [07:34] Dr_Willis:the grub restore on forums is not working for me [07:34] dr_willis: [07:34] root@ubuntu:/home/ubuntu# sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/root /dev/sdb [07:34] mkdir: cannot create directory `/media/root/boot': No such file or directory [07:34] I installed the latest NVidia drivers for my GeForce GT 130M but when I boot up I get 6 of the same 640x480 screens mirrored on my one laptop display :-/ [07:34] gst-kaps: some times - it pays to just go read grub docs and learn how it works.. Its hard to remote admin it. [07:35] dr_willis: Hm. If I unmount the one with Ubuntu installed will that cause the computer to explode if I'm using Ubuntu on it right now? [07:35] apoloeo12: now.. IS your installed system mounted to /media/root ? I am guessing Not. [07:35] oh holdo n [07:35] exit [07:35] -looks around- anyone wana chat? ^^ [07:35] apoloeo12, go to bios and boot from different drive, had the same problem before, you exceeded your cylinders limit by having 3 hard drive, your grub is confused can not see all of them or is confused were to start, so it gives an error message.

[07:42] Dr_Willis:I want to reinstall linux, but not able to , as gparted gets hanged while scanning devices, so I thought I should try to reboot in windows, but my grub gives me error 22 ? [07:42] kiran_: delete the linux partitions.. reinstall the windows bootloader.. reformat the deleted partitions. [07:42] gst-kaps: you removed the bootloader files.. grub is now broken. [07:42] Sorry, I was confused [07:42] you should get paid for this doc :) [07:42] np [07:42] when i am going to format that drive on windows boot loader it shows error message [07:42] laloin: i get a lot of 'dirty looks' does that count? [07:42] Dr_Willis: ooops, how do I fix it please ? [07:42] hahahhahahahah doc :) [07:43] kiran_: why do you want to remove ubuntu? [07:43] kiran_: what kind of error msg? [07:43] I get lots of funny looks when I'm reading up on unbuntu [07:43] gst-kaps: not sure.. gparted hanging is. weird.. try booting a gparted live cd. and use that to delete the partitions.. then reboot the ubuntu installer disk and reinstall. [07:43] people ask me, you mean there is something else besides windows [07:43] windows cannot remove the partition bcoz its used by the other operating system [07:43] What Windows programs can I get that will work like Gparted to reformat my Ubuntu partition? [07:44] windows has no clue what to do with a ext2/3 filesstem. but the windows tools should be able to delete it. [07:44] Pseudo_Bob: there's PartitionMagic, but it's not free. [07:44] Pseudo_Bob: that question is better asked in ##windows [07:44] Right, sorry [07:44] I just use gparted live cd's all the time. [07:44] Pseudo_Bob: you don't need to use Windows. [07:44] !gparted [07:44] gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php [07:44] suggest me that tools that allow me to delete the ext3 partitions [07:44] several are repair/restore disks at disrtowatch.com [07:45] kiran_: you can use ubuntu live cd to do that. [07:45] kiran_: try one of those live cds like the parted magic one, [07:45] ya iam tried but not works [07:45] kiran_: in Linux, fdisk. In Windows, Disk Mangler^H^H^H^Hager [07:45] well the ubuntu live cd is sitting in front of me, calling me [07:45] kiran_: the livecd will do it, then boot into windows after to reclaim it [07:45] kiran_: its how its done.. or use the linux 'fdisk' command from a live cd. i guess. [07:45] Gnea: he cant boot into windows.. grub is broken [07:46] ya [07:46] which is why i asked why you wanted to remove ubuntu and you never answered [07:46] partedMagic or the 'system rescue live cd' both have tools to restore the windows mbr i think. [07:46] nighters [07:46] richardcavell: Well, I think I do only because I want to reformat the partition I'm currently on. [07:46] bcoz i wanna migrate to linux mint [07:46] people seem to think they have to 'delete' uubuntu to reinstall it.. the installer can just reformat the partitions. [07:46] kiran_: you are better off not using Mint. [07:47] kiran_: use ubuntu live cd if u cannot boot to windows. then use gparted. install it from the internet first. [07:47] It's amazing how many people on here are trying to get rid of Ubuntu all the time. [07:47] kiran_: there was no need to 'delete' ubuntu to do that eitehr. [07:47] kiran_: why not just pop the mint cd in the drive and install over ubuntu? [07:47] Pseudo_Bob: actually i dont see that many... [07:47] Pseudo_Bob: boot to a live CD [07:47] is there anyway to do a remote ubuntu install, I have a friend who sells VPSs and at the moment he has to manuly install linux him self, is there a way he can do it remotely? [07:47] dr_w: I seem to be returning a help menu after I tyoped this command: sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/disk type ext3 /dev/sdb [07:47] can i browse windows ntfs drives through the linux mint [07:47] richardcavell: Ugh. Didn't think of that. Thanks much. [07:48] arleslie: many VPS companies offer Ubuntu images to create the containers with. [07:48] kiran_: dont know about linux mint, but from ubuntu live cd you can. [07:48] !netboot | arleslie [07:48] arleslie: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install?

[07:49] i wanna migrate to it so i can access as long as [07:49] (Hardware permitting) [07:50] apoloeo12: 'think' :) it wants JUST the path.. you are giving it all the extra data from that mount command thats not what it wanted.. it wants just --root-directory=/media/disk [07:50] arleslie: Boot a VM with the Ubuntu Server ISO, install, set up a base image, and use that to create new Ubuntu VPSs with. [07:50] apoloeo12: its just wanting the path to the files to use. [07:50] Dr_Willis: how do i access gnome do settings? [07:51] hi. i have right click and icons disabled on my desktop, how do i enable them?? [07:51] mralexandro: when ya window-space theres a button /menu [07:51] mralexandro: top right corner.. a little arrow.. [07:51] Dr_Willis: yes i saw it, but gnome closed when i started moving in applications, i found the switch to set it as a dock even, but know it is gone [07:51] mralexandro: theres also a setting to have it always show up a systray icon [07:52] Dr_Willis: yes but i can not access the settings know cause i can not find it:( [07:52] mralexandro: i enabled that. the win-space arrow works here if i just win-space then use the mouse [07:52] mralexandro: so you are saying win-space dont work any more? [07:52] Dr_Willis: yes that is correct [07:52] it did but now it doesnt [07:52] mralexandro: perhaps gnome-do crashed... rerun the app [07:53] i did in terminal, but when i close terminal gnome close too [07:53] Dr_Willis: any other way of re launching it? [07:53] kiran_: use the latest ubuntu. [07:53] mralexandro: PROPER way to close the terminal.. 'gnome-do &' then use the 'exit' command.. NOT the close button at the top right. [07:53] kiran_: ubuntu 9.04 [07:53] mralexandro: or alt-f2 -> gnome-do [07:53] mralexandro: or use gnome-do icon in the menus [07:53] i wanna migrate from ubuntu [07:54] kiran_: from ubuntu to which operating system? [07:54] mralexandro: accessories -> gnome do [07:54] Dr_Willis: ah ok thanks i have it there now, but the settings arrow is not thre [07:54] im dual booting ubuntu and windows xp.. i mounted windows so that i can view my file, however i cant play the songs that i have on windows, through ubuntu's rythm box. What do i do? [07:54] kiran_: please visit the linux mint irc channel, get their livecd, and use that [07:54] helo [07:54] mralexandro: you changed themes then.. look about i guess.. [07:54] dr_will: yeah I just realized that.... *looks at time* 3:10... heh [07:54] Oy.. So, it boiled down to one bad memory card. [07:54] !mintsupport | kiran_ [07:54] kiran_: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint on irc.spotchat.org [07:54] but here...http://paste.ubuntu.com/253955/ [07:54] Dr_Willis: i will reinstall it i think [07:55] mralexandro: that is 'windows' thinking. and proberly wont change anything [07:55] mralexandro: reinstalling an app will NOT reset the users settings [07:55] bye guys! :D [07:55] im dual booting ubuntu and windows xp.. i mounted windows so that i can access the files, however i cant play the songs that i have on windows on the itunes folder, through ubuntu's rythm box. What do i do? [07:55] Dr_Willis: oh ok, yeah i am usualy a windows user:/ [07:56] Dr_Willis: is there any other way for me to acces the gnome-do settings? [07:56] i wanna get more advanced desktop effects [07:56] mralexandro: proberly is.. but i would have to read up at the gnome-do homepage to figure it out [07:57] Dr_Willis: oh ok i see [07:57] mralexandro: when ya win-space do you see a systry icon for gnome-do? a purple square with a snowflake in it. [07:57] !ccsm | kiran_ [07:57] kiran_: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'.

Discoveries are made by questioning answers. [07:57] — Bernard Haisch [07:58] what will that do [07:58] why all the gnome themes are not supported [07:58] mralexandro: if using'docked' i though there was an ICOn in the dock to get to the settings. [07:58] aaron11: that will allow you to select between your installed spash screens [07:58] But, so far, the installation stuff is STILL pretty effing slow for Ubuntu. [07:58] google can help a lot [07:58] mralexandro: you may needed to enable the shelf plugin also [07:59] Dr_Willis: hmm i can not seem to find that one, and the shelf plugin i have a hard time enabling without prefrenses or settings [07:59] http://do.davebsd.com/wiki/index.php?title=Using_Do [07:59] Ghoti: its asking for numbers [08:00] Dr_wil: did you get my msg? [08:00] im dual booting ubuntu and windows xp.. i mounted windows so that i can access the files, however i cant play the songs that i have on windows on the itunes folder, through ubuntu's rythm box.

[08:00] hi here [08:01] aaronll: im sure you can [08:01] silv3r_m00n: you can run anything you care to install [08:01] godmodegrafix: have you tried double clicking on them and opening them with standard program [08:01] Ghoti: thanks [08:01] lol i know [08:01] silv3r_m00n: sure, I'm not sure if they're on there by default, but should be easy to put them on if not [08:01] aaron11: my pleasure! :) [08:01] i wanna more gnome themes please suggest me [08:01] fine [08:01] anyone [08:01] wat fine [08:02] twotwenty: standard program is a video player..wont read it at all [08:02] by the way is there any kubuntu netbook remix ? [08:02] kiran_:wait for people [08:02] kiran_: http://www.gnome-look.org/ should have plenty of ideas for you [08:02] kiran_: apt-cache search themes |grep gnome [08:02] silv3r_m00n: can you make your name easier [08:03] ghoti_that not lot and when i am going to install it shows error message [08:03] aaron11: like ? [08:03] silv3r: silver [08:03] What in the effing world would cause the Ubuntu installer to load slowly, pass between dialog to dialog slowly, and mind you 100% text mode in the Alternate Install Disc... It's driving me absolutely nuts, cause on my Pentium 3 733, it was fast as heck, but on my P4 2.8 HT with 3gb RAM, it's running slow as molasses. [08:04] Dr_Willis: i found the do preferences, now i activated the shelf plugin, what exactly will it do [08:04] hi. i have right click and icons disabled on my desktop, how do i enable them?? [08:04] psi-jack: run top an another terminal to see if there's something dogging down the system perhaps? [08:04] Hi everyone! Is there a list, containing the Semantic Web supporting companies somewhere? Or would I have to compile it myself from the active working groups pages? [08:04] anyone read me [08:04] need help you guys :( [08:04] Ghoti: DURING install? before even the kernel finishes loading? [08:04] drunk and high and need to listen to music [08:05] psi-jack: type top and see what's eating up your resources [08:05] kiran_, YES [08:05] please dont let me boot windows :( [08:05] bucky: Maybe you didn't read anything I said? [08:05] user01 [08:05] psi-jack: maybe not [08:05] user01 noname [08:05] psi-jack: if you're in the installer, you should be able to hit alt-F2 and get another terminal, from which you can run top [08:05] hello user01 [08:06] kiran_, what do you mean, noname? [08:06] hi. i have right click and icons disabled on my desktop, how do i enable them?? anyone?? [08:06] nothing [08:06] Ghoti: Yeah, umm... During install, nothing but the installer itself is running for the most part. [08:06] mralexandro: dosent seem to do what i thought it did. i though it controlled what was on teh doc.. You found the purple icon on the docky bar Im guessing? [08:06] sorry [08:06] kiran_: install some themes from the repos if you don't like them go find some others on gnome look [08:06] mralexandro: thers also some way to type 'do-perferances' or somthingto get to the settings but i cant figure that out [08:06] psi-jack: that's why I suggested the other virtual terminals, accessable through alt-F1 through F6 [08:06] ok [08:07] kiran_: themes should be a drag and drop affair in System->Preferences if you dl one from the internet [08:07] Dr_Willis: no i had to space windows then type preferences, the only way i can access the preferenses, the dock will have a lot of random icons on it, to bad the shelf plugin does not let you put what you want in it [08:07] Ghoti: Yeah, been using Linux since pre 1.0.0, dude. *chuckles* Ubuntu's installer is the only installer that goes this slow.. OpenSUSE's was blazing fast. FreeBSD's, done in minutes total install, etc. [08:07] Ghoti: ctl-alt F# [08:08] if some1 needs help with themes then go to the link provided : http://www.gnome-look.org/ (this link was hand writen [08:08] psi-jack: if you [08:08] psi-jack: if you [08:08] mralexandro: not sure what it does really - the doc for shelf are a little vague [08:08] When you click on the Search button in Nautilus you're supposed to get more options in the window just above the files and folders. Well I'm not getting those options. Why would that be? [08:08] mralexandro: http://do.davebsd.com/wiki/Docky [08:08] bucky:dont repeat [08:08] dr_willis: did ya catch the url? [08:08] heh [08:08] Dr_Willis: thanks [08:08] psi-jack: if you've been using linux for twenty years then you know how to get into a console and run top [08:09] bucky: play nice :) [08:09] bucky: No.. Reaaally? D'uh.. :p [08:09] apoloeo12: aha. ya got to type "perferances' properly. i was trying 'Do Perferances' [08:09] psi-jack: what are you installing to some crappy usb drive? [08:09] bucky, Ghoti: See the funny thing is, DURING install, when you activate a terminal on tty2, you get BusyBox, which has no top. [08:09] sorry I dont understand [08:09] bucky: No, DVD-ROM drive. [08:09] how do i bring up the console, if i am in a game for example? [08:09] psi-jack: and what's your internet connection... wireless? [08:09] mralexandro: it also rembers/learns what you launch so it puts them first in the list [08:10] psi-jack: Interesting, and, were I in your shoes, mildly annoying. [08:10] bucky: No, wired. [08:10] psi-jack: you're installing to a DVD disk? [08:10] bucky: FROM a CDROM via a DVD-ROM drive. [08:10] Kolimbo: depends on to which console you refer, and which game if you are refering to a game's console [08:10] psi-jack: cause you were in here before asking about how long it should take to format a drive [08:10] bucky: Umm. No. I wasn't. [08:11] bucky: Since I never use the badblocks, formatting generally takes seconds. [08:11] psi-jack: so what does top say? [08:12] bucky: Did you not read what I said, AGAIN? [08:12] psi-jack: so what does top say? [08:12] Obviously not. [08:12] psi-jack: do you want help or do you want to wine [08:12] bucky: please a> pay attention, and b> kindly stop repeating yourself. [08:12] #whine [08:12] bucky: BusyBox doesn't have top! [08:13] bucky: enough. [08:13] Gnea: he's been using linux since version 1.01 [08:13] i can tell [08:13] bucky: Pre 1.0.0, actually, thank you very much. [08:13] psi-jack: if you want to know how long it takes to format your drive, just run it like this: time mkfs.yada /dev/something [08:13] Dr_Willis: that is quite interesting, so it actually lets you place icons there and it also detects most used in some sort of way? [08:13] psi-jack: the only thing I can think of off the top of my head, absent any data, is that for some reason your IDE channel is klobbering the CPU. [08:13] Is there any way given any package I can build it statically which will statically include things like libc.so and so on? [08:14] bucky: doesn't matter, your behavior is unacceptable here. [08:14] mralexandro: top 5 get added.. and you an drag/drop to/from it.. [08:14] Gnea: Umm... Dude.. I don't care how long it takes. LOL. I never asked that, though bucky seems to be filling everything up with nonsense. [08:14] mralexandro: it seems tobe a better 'dock' then many others ive tried [08:14] psi-jack: ah, okay [08:14] bucky, psi-jack: No need to get into a [bleep]ing contest.. play nive, guys :) [08:14] and also nice. [08:14] nive eh? Is that akin to knives? :D [08:15] psi-jack: only in #swordplay :) [08:15] Heh [08:15] Dr_Willis: you can have more than five, just resize docky and it will oopen for many many more [08:15] !ot | psi-jack Ghoti stop playing with nives [08:15] psi-jack Ghoti stop playing with nives: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [08:15] bucky: No, what /I/ was here asking earlier, was about Networking hardware for gigabit support for onboard NIC's like the nForce2 10/100/1000 and the 3c940 Marvell 10/100/1000, not that guy that was asking how long it too to format a 512gb hdd or whatever size it was. [08:16] psi-jack: I see you were inquiring, albiet inefficiently, about the ubuntu installer [08:16] hai [08:16] Gnea: Correct. [08:16] psi-jack: go back to LFS like pre 1.0 [08:16] mralexandro: i got a wide desktop.. i can have lots.. :P [08:16] this is too leet [08:16] psi-jack: just FYI, we consider any 'bleeping' of a bad word to be the use of a bad word, since people know what you're saying. such language should be avoided here. [08:16] bucky: Seriously. Please, try to be constructive. [08:16] Gnea: Only on this one system, so far, does the Ubuntu installer run painfully slow.. So slow with the fbcons mode for text mode, it was so slow just drawing the screen. I had to use the boot option to stop fbcons from being used. [08:16] lol [08:17] psi-jack: what cpu/mem? [08:17] Gnea: that was me who bleeped. :p [08:17] psi-jack: use the text mode... like linux is supposed to be [08:17] Ghoti: heh, if you scrollback to psi-jack's original question, you'll see what I mean :) [08:17] lol [08:17] gogeta, ?? [08:17] hey guys [08:17] hey xray7224 [08:18] Gnea: fair enough :) [08:18] how i auto mount the partitions in my ubuntu... [08:18] Gnea: Pentium 4 2.8Ghz HT, 3gb DDR1 400MHz memory, running single-channel for now cause I found one of the 4 sticks were bad, 6 HDD's, DVD-ROM, DVD-RW, USB-based MMC/SD/MS/CF/SM drive, etc [08:18] ramkumar_: see 'man mount' [08:18] !fstab | ramkumar_ [08:18] ramkumar_: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [08:18] Dr_Willis: i think this gnome do will be very very useful and that you gave me a more complete solutin than just a dock, hope it does not steel to much performance [08:18] how can I change ubuntu 8.04 to ubuntu 9.04. [08:18] bazhang: im half asleep [08:18] gogeta, please chat elsewhere [08:18] bening: you need to upgrade to 8.10 first, and then from 8.10 to 9.04 [08:18] hi guys, anyway to make mouse cursor move, ina remote ssh environment ? [08:18] hi there [08:18] * xray7224 <3 fstab :P [08:18] ya i seen but it is mount only in root not in normal user.. [08:19] this ubuntu netbook remix is a .img file... how do I install it in my netbook ? [08:19] bazhang: you ask and i havent even spoke yet [08:19] mralexandro: compared to the total Poopoo i see in other 'docks' its at least useable. :) [08:19] The change password dialog just stays busy in ubuntu 9.04 when I change it. Does it take a really long time to do or something? [08:19] silv3r_m00n: you 'dd' it to a usb flash drive.. [08:19] Gnea: Keeping in mind, OpenSUSE, FreeBSD, even Fedora's installer, was blazing fast, it's just Ubuntu's that's running slow as molasses. [08:19] silv3r_m00n, there is an imagewriter deb you can download [08:19] silv3r_m00n: i think the unr download page gives details on how to do it in windows and linux [08:19] bazhang: other the laughing at those 2 fight [08:19] what does this do? [08:19] psi-jack: so, pretty decent. hrm. the installer isn't exactly optimized for any specific system, so different systems, despite newer specs, can sometimes respond slow during the installation phase, especially if the hardware itself isn't configured to the kernel right - ever tried doing a pci=routeirq? [08:19] :(){ :|:& };: [08:19] !danger [08:19] DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND That particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here. REST OF YOU: DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER! Do not use the command or utter it here thank you! [08:20] psi-jack: and that's just on the one system? [08:20] if i delete the image initrd.img then how i boot my ubuntu/fedora? [08:20] Dr_Willis: agreed, problem solved, thousand thanks, times to move on to my next one, thanks alot!:D [08:20] :(){ :|:& };: [08:20] ? [08:20] what command??? [08:20] mralexandro: somehow the gnomedo perferances ion got added to the dock now. :) [08:20] Gnea: Yes, so far.. Though admittedly this is the only system yet I've done 8.04.3 on. I did install eBox 1.2, which is based on Ubuntu 8.04.2, on a Pentium 3 733 with 256mb RAM, and it was done before my system even got to the Partition Manager! [08:20] Ghoti: what dd thats not dangres [08:20] Dr_Willis: i have it there because it is my most used one:D [08:20] acro-asarva_: does an infinate loop.. google for it to learn more. [08:21] mralexandro: becuase its the most used recently i guess. :) [08:21] gogeta: no, acro-asarva_ is the one that invoked the !danger [08:21] psi-jack: interesting. 8.04, while is it the LTS release, is still considered a bit of a dinosaur to newer hardware. have you tried 9.04? [08:21] just to make it clear 'dd' CAN be dangerous..if you make a typo... [08:21] acro-asarva_: that's a fork bomb; do not run that command. [08:21] you see about that command in http://linuxmonk.org [08:21] i have got to admit i have no idea what the thing he/she does [08:21] acro-asarva_: issuing dd for image file is fine [08:21] make SURE you dd to the proper usb device.. :) [08:21] Dr_Willis: and i found that you can right click the gnome-do icon and see prefrenses for the gnome do program, pluss some quick settings [08:22] mralexandro: yes. :) i was goingto mention that.. but you said you found the perferances allready [08:22] Gnea: No, not yet. I wanted 8.04 because of the stability, quote-unquote. And because I wanted to be able to fully try out a full-scale eBox setup. I have 9.04-server installed on my router box, and two database server computers. [08:22] (I was not saying 'dd' is !danger-ous, though like any command, it can be used to ill effect (: ) [08:22] Ghoti: that person was purporting destructive commands earlier [08:22] hi friends plz reply for this If i delete the image initrd.img then hoe i boot my ubunt? [08:22] Dr_Willis: i think i figured the shelf function: right click an app there, and you will see it says add to shelf! [08:23] mralexandro: yes.. but what is a shelf then? [08:23] mralexandro: thats what i never noticed in the docs [08:23] psi-jack: okay. so is this geared toward a work computer or a personal one? [08:23] Gnea: Dr_Willis would not issue a destructiv command [08:23] gogeta: no, acro-asarva_ [08:23] gogeta: with dd - all it takes is a typo.. :) [08:23] gogeta: and i learned that the hard way. :) [08:24] Dr_Willis: or with mv, or cp, or rm, or many other two character commands :) [08:24] Dr_Willis: i think it is a function that let you bypass most used value and let the app stay untouched in its possition, disregarding the fact that it is used less than top apps [08:24] Dr_Willis: usefull if its a .img otherwise use cp or mv [08:24] Gnea: It's geared towards a large home network of computers. I have a server farm here I'm putting together, and a audio/video streaming farm, comprised of about 20 computers in total. [08:24] Would anyone mind seeing if in ubuntu 9.04 System > Preferences > About Me > Change Password dialog works? It just goes busy and does nothing... the user accounts tool works though. [08:24] Gnea: I installed 9.04-server on the other few systems, before I heard about eBox. ;)\ [08:24] psi-jack: so it's a personal system. I would go ahead and recommend 9.04-desktop [08:25] Ivoz: it worked just fine over here [08:25] ghoti - weird.. im on a very new install of ubuntu, the thing just hangs but the user and groups dialog worked! [08:25] Ghoti: thanks [08:25] ramkumar_:have you deleted it and rebooted? [08:25] doeas anyone know if there is a way i can create a "shortcut"(yes i am an earlier windows user) to mount the windows partition with pasword already typed [08:25] Ivoz: happy to help [08:25] Gnea: I'm not certain 9.04 works with eBox 100%, for the setup, That P3/733 I mentioned earlier, is what system's going to be doing 100% authentication via LDAP. [08:26] mralexandro: add the windows partition to the fstab with the 'user' option; then anyone can mount it [08:26] !fstab | mralexandro [08:26] mralexandro: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [08:26] Salut [08:26] mralexandro: the thing abotu that dock (and docks) ya either clutter up the whole bottom of the screen with lots of icons.. or ya get some desktop space wasted at the sides. :) [08:26] mralexandro: guess i could put a gnome pannel to one side. :) [08:27] psi-jack: I missed the bit about the p3, not sure what that has to do with running a stable system.. [08:27] Ghoti: thanks [08:27] Dr_Willis: yes and you can take away the function casuing it to stay on top [08:27] mralexandro: you need to add the password there too [08:27] mralexandro: anytime; that'll be £8 :) [08:27] Ghoti: :D:D [08:27] Crap, well, my Ubuntu 9.04-Desktop CD is a frisbee. [08:28] psi-jack: that's no fun [08:28] mralexandro: well i have tried most all the docks.. and i will say - this oneis the most useable.. [08:28] Heh yeah. [08:28] mralexandro: all the rest never work well.. or are lacking features [08:28] Dr_Willis: when I want a dock, I just VNC into my Mac ;) [08:28] psi-jack: we call em costers [08:28] mralexandro: and the win-space feature is the main use.. the dock is a bonus. [08:28] I burned like 4-5 frisbees recently, of Ubuntu 9.04-Desktop (server was fine though), Ubuntu 8.04-Alternate, and eBox 1.2 [08:29] Dr_Willis: the win space is the winning over ALL :) [08:29] gogeta: I'm not you. ;) :) [08:29] I call 'em frisbees. heh [08:29] sorry for the late gnr [08:29] mralexandro: if you can rember the special words for the plugins... [08:29] psi-jack: sure your drive and/or media aren't borked? [08:29] i haven,t deleted but i want to know? [08:29] psi-jack: tryn to make a ebox work? [08:29] It's all good hardware. [08:29] Dr_Willis: and i have never seen anything smarter than this lancher/dock, it is my new fav [08:29] gogeta: A series of them, yep. [08:29] when sending email with kmail, for the message of authentication support is not compiled into kio_smtp [08:30] how to solve [08:30] psi-jack: issue? [08:30] psi-jack: I've had a bad batch of CDRs waste three days in trying to figure out some strange behavior [08:30] mralexandro: [08:30] /192.168.123.45/share /mnt/point smbfs username=[user],password=[password],uid=[uid],gid=[gid],users,noauto 0 0 [08:30] thats what i use [08:30] psi-jack: then I noticed the media layer wasn't actually adhered to the plastic disc. Good times. [08:30] then i just type "mount /mnt/point" in my terminal and it mounts [08:30] ramkumar_:then read bout initrd, if you the guts then delete it :) [08:30] dont need sudo [08:30] Ben64: isn't it 'user', not 'users'? [08:31] Ben64: thanks :) that was a helping hand.i was unsure about the setup [08:31] i have users *shrug* [08:31] psi-jack: your not just droping the iso on a disk are you [08:31] Ben64: if it works, it works :) [08:31] Is there any way given any package I can build it statically which will statically include things like libc.so and so on? [08:31] gogeta: Of course not. :p [08:31] what u mean gnr... i can,t understand.. [08:31] Heh, well, holy heck. [08:31] 9.04-Server, booted up smooth and fast as heck. [08:31] psi-jack: be suprised how many do [08:32] Guess I could just install 9.04-server and install ubuntu-desktop [08:32] ok...sorry i will learn about it... [08:32] gogeta: I wouldn't be, heh [08:32] and we will discuss later.. [08:32] how i edit an Os like ubuntu any idea plz... [08:32] how do you generate passwords from terminal? [08:33] The 9.04 "Live Desktop" still doesn't support LVM, correct? Only the Alternate mode? [08:33] hello [08:33] Ben64: why the ip adress? [08:33] Keiffer: look into the pwgen package [08:33] oh, you should put in the ip of the computer you want to access from [08:33] i was just making stuff up [08:33] question: i've installed samba to allow my two ubuntu machines to share folders [08:34] livingdaylight: that's a statement. [08:34] but cant access.. won't accept password [08:34] why ubuntu 9.04 doesn,t have wvdial [08:34] Ben64:what do you want [08:34] hi [08:34] Ben64: i got it, but it is not neccessary at a local mount right? [08:34] aaron-: one billion dollars [08:34] ramkumar_: yes it does [08:34] i think samba is to share the folders with Windows and linux [08:34] I've right-clicked and gone share options it automatically installed samba - i can see the folders but can't mount them [08:34] mralexandro: it does need an ip to work [08:35] or a hostname could work, but i find that less reliable [08:35] but while i am trying there is no wvdial ghoti [08:35] I installed firestarter on ubuntu 9.04, but it seems to be blocking from from viewing windows shares. Samba is enabled, but the firewall is seeing an unknown service connect on a pretty random port whenever i try to open a windows computer on the network. Can i configure samba differently or something? [08:36] ramkumar_: http://pastebin.com/f26477529 [08:36] Ben64: so in my case the ip should be what ip my local computer display for lan or something? [08:36] whatever computer that has the share you want mounted [08:37] anyone know why i can't mount my files? [08:37] livingdaylight: is there a reason you're wanting to use samba to share between two Linux boxen rather than, say, NFS or SSHFS? [08:37] Ghoti: because that is what was recommended [08:37] Or even better, Coda? [08:37] hi i got a problem with a display driver, after grub i can't see shit. what would be the solution for me, please help [08:37] Ben64: /dev/sdax then ? :D it is on this computer on the same disk [08:37] !language | arpad_ [08:37] arpad_: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [08:37] is there any voice command programs for ubuntu [08:37] psi-jack: Note to self: look at Coda [08:38] Ghoti: also when i right-click on a folder and choose share option Ubuntu automatically installs and uses samba [08:38] mralexandro: why do you want to mount a drive as samba? [08:38] seems pretty redundant [08:38] how do u configure samba? [08:38] Ghoti: There's other good distributed filesystems too, but Coda allows offline access which is REAAAAALLY nice.

[08:41] Dr_Willis: it has auto-installed samba, and i DO see the folder shared, it just won't mount [08:41] livingdaylight: if you are connectinb from box A to box B, use login credentials from box B, not A. [08:41] livingdaylight: mount what/where? whos mounting what? [08:41] Dr_Willis: which is what i am trying to do(but i am windows user) :) [08:41] to 'share' a windows partition on a linxu box.. you MIGHT have to have it mounted automatically via /etc/fstab so the mountpoint wont change.

[08:47] Ugh! Fricken Ubuntu installer! You'd THINK 9.04-server would actually let you setup LVM with all the LVM options, like STRIPING [08:47] pis-jacl: why use ubuntu server ? [08:48] *facepalm* [08:48] TwoTwenty: Maybe I'm installing a server? [08:48] psi-jack: why not use debian or gentoo or slackware [08:48] TwoTwenty: Why not you be quiet and stop butting into other people's distribution decisons? [08:48] well you can configure ubuntu-desktop to be a sever also [08:49] TwoTwenty: is this really the place to advocate other distros? :p [08:49] the only real diff are packages and config [08:49] psi-jack: im merely asking for reasons maybe they will become my own [08:49] psi-jack, please keep it civil [08:49] best servers would be unix/bsd [08:49] TwoTwenty, ubuntu good enough for experts ,but also have the experts to help (when they AWAKE) [08:49] TwoTwenty: Server installs only the bare minimums, plus tasksel is equiped to install server-related packages, not desktop. [08:49] TwoTwenty, better to discuss in ##linux or #ubuntu-offtopic NOT here [08:49] sudobash: and kernel of course [08:50] ubuntu is plenty good for experts and noobs alike [08:50] newbie friendly AND expert setups [08:50] psi-jack: acully the pro mini iso installs only the basics [08:50] and the noobs who think they are experts [08:51] jkessler, i kinda resemble that remark [08:51] it's a big category [08:51] So, I'm guessing Ubuntu's installer still only has VERY minimal LVM support, eh? [08:51] majnoon: I find that resemblance remarkable [08:51] everyone does really there is always something to learn [08:51] psi-jack: lvm needs tro be installed [08:51] Ghoti: do you think samba needs to be installed on one or both systems? [08:51] psi-jack: you can do it from the live cd if your doing a vlm install [08:52] <--in middle but closer to newbie [08:52] we only work and can do what we understand [08:52] lvm [08:52] livingdaylight: the server needs to be installed on the machine hosting the files; the client on the one requesting the files from the server [08:52] that goes for the devs also [08:52] psi-jack: sudo apt-get install lvm2 [08:52] does no one else have this problem though? [08:52] gogeta: methinks psi-jack's machine isn't in a place where apt-get is operational [08:52] gogeta: Yeah yeah, That's what I'm going to do, because I want my striping, and when I reconfigured it to use two logical volumes instead of one, for / and /home seperation, it went from being striped to *cringe* linear [08:52] Ghoti: so if i want both systems to be able to access one another, both would need samba? [08:53] skyler: what problem [08:53] sorry i missed your q skyler [08:53] livingdaylight: both would need both the server and the client [08:53] i got into ubuntu because i LOVE apt-get and the people MORE friendly then #debian [08:53] !ot > majnoon [08:53] majnoon, please see my private message [08:53] jkessler: noobs who think there experts rite just a certed redhat user hear i dont now a thing [08:53] gogeta: Quite frankly, with 6 120GB HDD's, linear would be kinda useless. But with Striping, it makes it SOOOOO fast. [08:53] livingdaylight: sudo apt-get install samba smbfs [08:53] my network randomly quit and usually require a restart for it to work again [08:53] Ghoti: if both machines havce the same username - could that cause a conflict? [08:53] do that on both machines [08:53] sometimes it stays on for hour [08:53] and other times just a few minutes [08:53] majnoon: I love apt-get, but I still miss portage sometimes, to be honest :) [08:53] livingdaylight: I don'e see how [08:53] hours* [08:54] same IDEA i think Ghoti [08:54] skyler: are you using wireless? [08:54] yes [08:54] skyler: msg me... [08:54] ubuntu 904 [08:54] Ghoti: just grasping at straws [08:54] skyler: what wireless card ? [08:54] what is a good channel for browsing for movies? [08:54] takes care of the dependencies [08:54] I just wrote a little tut for someone else on network troubleshooting [08:54] damad_, not on this network [08:54] psi-jack: or a raid0 setup [08:54] sudobash, mesg me the url ?? [08:54] gogeta: I prefer LVM over softraid. [08:55] psi-jack: you just said lvm was useless [08:55] gogeta: LVM linear, not LVM Striping. [08:55] skyler: have you tried reinitializing IP through DHCP after it goes off? [08:55] gogeta: Ubuntu's Alternate installer only supports creating LVM Linear, but not Stripes. [08:55] selinux messeup up my ubuntu [08:55] Alternate and Server [08:55] anybody know o a good movie channel? [08:55] psi-jack: oh well that setup is up to you when you setup lvm i just pointed you on how to make the installer use it [08:55] well, it asks for the passcode, and sometimes it works when i type it in, sometimes it doent [08:55] damad_, no. stop asking here. [08:56] Ghoti, there ARE some RPM based distros starting to use a form of apt-get [08:56] gogeta: The console mode installation, Server or Alternate mode, does support LVM, BUT it only lets you create linear volumes, not striped volumes. [08:56] !ot | damad_ [08:56] damad_: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [08:56] http://pastebin.com/d647e5cda [08:56] majnoon: I've shoehorned apt-rpm onto centros, but it was ug-lee [08:56] gogeta: Which is very upsetting. [08:56] majnoon: they have there own version of apt for years as well as yum [08:56] skyler: a common misconception with wireless pascodes and netowrk monitor (the networking app in ubuntu) is the code, one is a keyring code and the other is the wireless key [08:57] it was for a specific problem but it will help you I am sure skyler === dragonrigs is now known as aspen___ [08:57] psi-jack: thers a way to do it post install [08:57] sudobash: maybe you can help me with samba here. I've been told to install samba to be able to share folders /files between two linux boxes. On the laptop i installed it via command line. On the Desktop i right-clicked on the folder and clicked on the 'share option' it automatically installed samba. Both computer can now see each others folders, but when i attempt to mount it refuses the password === janne2 is now known as Skiessi [08:57] the the wireless key is the password to wireless.. the keyring passcode is one you made the first time you setup wireless [08:57] gogeta: To change linear volumes to striped volumes, for / ? No, no there's not. [08:57] with linux the good ideas USUALLY spread out to ALL distros [08:57] livingdaylight: give the users samba passwords with 'sudo smbpasswd -a username' === aspen___ is now known as Aspen__ [08:58] majnoon, please take chat elsewhere [08:58] livingdaylight: for linux to linux. You could also use 'nfs' or 'ssh' (or sshfs) to access files on the remote box's [08:58] skyler: the the wireless key is the password to wireless.. the keyring passcode is one you made the first time you setup wireless [08:58] Dr_willis is right or you can allow guest access to your share for anonymous users [08:58] psi-jack: yes logical volume mangment its a redhat tool ported to ubuntu has a gui to [08:58] but I would just apply passwords [08:58] psi-jack: we warned thow all changes are instant [08:59] Ok too talk hardware? [08:59] ##hardware R2D21 [08:59] gogeta: Again, you can NOT convert linear volumes to striped volumes. [08:59] thx [08:59] lol this is like #ubuntu-directoryassistance [08:59] Dr_Willis: i know but earlier people on #ubuntu recommended samba, now people recommend something else :/ Ubuntu mind you automatically chose samba too when i took the right-click on folder route to explore the 'share option' I'd be happy to use NFS but samba should work too [08:59] livingdaylight: all can work.. you dident mention Linux to linux.. earlier. [08:59] livingdaylight: Whomever recommended Samba for sharing files between Linux systems, was an idiot. [09:00] psi-jack you dont make lvm at install you do it after [09:00] psi-jack: no conversion just setup later [09:00] livingdaylight: the cifs stuff works very well for linux to linux.. but it depends on your exact needs. plus if you ever get a windows machineonthe lan you will want to use samba. [09:00] Dr_Willis: but i did earlier when i came in 6hrs ago [09:00] gogeta: Oy. My / is LVM striped over 6 drives. [09:00] gogeta: You cannot set that up, POST install. [09:00] psi-jack: heh bit to late [09:01] livingdaylight: I only just now saw you say 'linux to linux' its not like using samba is going to hurt anything. [09:01] psi-jack: be suprised what you can do [09:01] Dr_Willis: why is samba not a good option between linux 2 linux? [09:01] livingdaylight: you could use samba, nfs, and sshfs all the same time. [09:01] hello there, i have some problem with one css that needs 2 addons to work ....... http://userstyles.org/styles/2131 ; i have both addons installed and follower the instructions over anr over again with no results ; i hope some one can help me with this [09:01] livingdaylight: samba is a bit slower. and has limitations. it depends on how you are going to use it. [09:01] Dr_Willis: i think i've found the issue and fixed it! [09:01] gogeta: I'd rather less headache than volume juggling / around partitions and volumes. [09:01] Dr_Willis: what limitations? [09:02] Advances are made by answering questions. Discoveries are made by questioning answers.— Bernard Haisch [09:02] xangua, better to ask in #css [09:02] gogeta: Which is basically what you're suggesting, by doing it post install. Juggling. [09:02] livingdaylight: read up on the samba sites/docs - for one thing.. if ya make a directory called "Stuff" and another called 'stuff' :) it can get confused. [09:02] thanks bazhang [09:02] livingdaylight: given how common samba is.. you will want to learn about it eventually [09:02] !info samba-doc [09:02] samba-doc (source: samba): Samba documentation.

[09:03] psi-jack: liner [09:03] majnoon, stay on topic [09:03] i USUALLY do in here [09:03] gogeta: I prefer getting the speed out of 6 drives, by using striping. [09:03] gst-kaps: theres options you can give gparted from the command line. Or try the 'fdisk' command I guess.. i normally use 'fdisk' for simple tasks [09:03] but was basically explaining WHY i chose ubuntu that SORTA on topic [09:04] gogeta: LVM volumes can be snapshot to my external solid-state HDD in case of failure. [09:04] majnoon, no, its not. #ubuntu-offtopic for that. [09:04] gogeta: And thus, restored, relatively easily. [09:04] Dr_Willis: but you think nfs is better between linux machines? why? [09:04] livingdaylight: nfs works very well for me. [09:04] livingdaylight: for a quick 'shareing of data' i tend to use 'sshfs' [09:05] Dr_Willis: Curious about something. Do you use any LDAP or NIS+ for user sharing for NFS? ;) [09:05] psi-jack: i got a 5 pc lan. :) i dont use those things for it. [09:05] psi-jack: i got 3 users. :) [09:05] heh [09:05] Dr_Willis: apt-get install sshfs? [09:05] So you just match uid for uid on each system?

[09:08] Dr_Willis: Heh [09:08] crap another night up until 4 [09:08] Dr_Willis: does it it take up much cpu energy or ram to keep folders mounted? [09:08] livingdaylight: i wouldent think so. [09:08] Dr_Willis: Unfortunately, it's for the system, not the person that clicks I Agree [09:09] livingdaylight: you going to mount 10000 of them? [09:09] is there a good radio program for ubuntu? [09:09] Dr_Willis: no, /home [09:09] just /home [09:09] pandora.com works with flash in firefox [09:09] livingdaylight: having /home mounted over nfs CAN have... issues :) [09:09] not even... /home/video ; /home/Documents [09:09] mralexandro, to play radio, or ubuntu podcasts [09:09] livingdaylight: it sucks if your home 'server' crashes [09:10] that can really confuse the running apps [09:10] Dr_Willis: well, i've got samba working now... where i had gone wrong was the names... I had to change from WORKGROUP to network:/// [09:10] livingdaylight: i tend to mount remote box's to like /nfs/machine1 and /nfs/machine2 and so on. [09:10] Having my database server burn my Ubuntu 9.04-Desktop CD is such a pain. heh [09:11] livingdaylight: set the workgroup in /etc/samba/smb.conf perhaps? [09:11] Dr_Willis: i see you actually create a folder called /nfs [09:11] livingdaylight: yes and a subdir for each macihne to keep things organized [09:11] nice [09:11] Dr_Willis: i see, thank you [09:11] livingdaylight: perment sshfs mounts in /sshfs/ :) [09:12] #list [09:12] bazhang: to play radio not ubuntu podcasts [09:14] mralexandro, streamtuner ? [09:14] streamtuner or tunapie is handy [09:14] Q: how do I easily touch the "Version" line of a deb control file from bash? [09:14] guys I copy pasted all ttf fonts of windows into my /usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont/ and started using them... but all im getting is squares when I use them... i tried fc-cache -v -f , where did i go wrong? [09:15] ideamonk: i just copy them to my users .fonts directory and reboot last time. there was some command I never can rember to run... [09:15] ideamonk: to install windows fonts, adobe flash, codecs, etc: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [09:16] thah only if you use ubuntu-gnome desktop [09:16] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Fonts Note: After you install a new font, you will need to make sure that programs in which you want to use the new fonts can recognize them. In most cases this is done by closing and reopening the programs; however, some programs may require you to log out and log back in. [09:16] xangua, woah! that easy... damn i wasted time :) [09:17] ideamonk: unless you had windows fonts not included inthe restricted-extas :) [09:17] :) [09:17] bazhang: thanks [09:18] ideamonk: just be thankfull linux is no longer likeit used to be where using ttf required leet-skills and haxoring code! :) [09:18] hmm i notice, the permission for ttf fonts that i copied into my fonts folder is different :) [09:18] mmmm i am unable to get help snif..... :(( [09:18] <^cheeky> umm hi, i really not sure how to ask this question , but i have a ubuntu server connected to my router and i just portforwarded http to my server, in my router does this mean .. in anyway be dangerous ? [09:18] YAAY done, i was just a chmod away... thanks guys :) [09:19] i have a usb flash voyager disk. 16 gig and formatted to vfat. It's not mounting in ubuntu, xp, or vista. However, in vista, i can initially browse the device, though try to open anything gives me a warning that the disk is not inserted. When inserted in ubuntu, it shows up as /dev/sdb only, there is no entry for it's partitions. Ideas? [09:20] Adross: have you tried to re-format it? [09:22] or 'zero' the device with dd. then reformat - if just reformating fails [09:22] and i have seen usb-flash drives fail/break [09:22] yes. But vista right click/format option complains of the lack of a disk, it doesn't show up in gparted, and the mkfs command complains that No medium found while trying to determine filesystem size [09:22] lol [09:23] Adross: may be worth the effort to 'zero' it out.. [09:23] you have tried it on othe rmachines/usb ports? [09:24] hai [09:24] hai [09:25] Dr_Willis, right now i'm willing to contend it is. How do i do that? [09:26] Adross: figure out the /dev/DEVICENAME (like /dev/sdi) then... [09:26] i have trouble in virtualbox. i have a virtual xp installation that i used in vista. cause i moved my xp into my vista. or into virtual disk. now i was hoping i could access my virtual xp in linux via virtual box. but i get blue screen in the start. i am sure it has to do with the way it read the hardisk. is there a spesific way that vmware set up its partition. cause i have tried mounting as both [09:26] ide and sta [09:26] Adross: and DONT dd the wrong device. :) [09:26] Adross: sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/DEVICENAME [09:26] Adross: theres a BS=1024 option that may help if go faster [09:26] too much windowz talk for a lin room... [09:27] <^cheeky> if i port forwarded "port 80 ", to my ubuntu server , wouldnt i be able to connect to my machine via the internet ? [09:27] gives me the creeps [09:27] ^cheeky: in theory yes. [09:27] ^cheeky: Usually. [09:27] <^cheeky> Dr_Willis, hi, well um i put in my ip but it takes to my router :S [09:28] <^cheeky> my external ip that is [09:28] damn ip stealin' router.. [09:28] <^cheeky> huh ? [09:28] ^cheeky: from inside your network? [09:28] sounds like the router is not set up right [09:28] <^cheeky> yeah [09:28] johnny_, ?? [09:28] Is there any way given any package I can build it statically which will statically include things like libc.so and so on? [09:28] ^cheeky: some routers will do that from inside the network [09:28] just jokin, yes sir? [09:28] this is a support channel johnny_ ; did you have a support question? [09:29] i'm thinkin' [09:29] <^cheeky> firecrotch, so how would i connect to it ?, as it should i just put in my external ip into my browser? [09:29] johnny_, chit chat in #ubuntu-offtopic [09:29] oki dokie [09:29] ^cheeky: I just use the internal IP of the server when trying to connect to it from inside my network [09:30] Dr_Willis, opening `/dev/sdb': No medium found [09:30] Adross: that sounds like the usb flash drive is really really goofed. [09:30] <^cheeky> firecrotch, yeah i did that it works fine (internal ip) that is, but if put my external ip its just opens my router :S [09:30] Adross: you still got the receipt? :) [09:31] ^cheeky: that's what my router does too - it works properly when connection from outside the network to my external IP though [09:31] Dr_Willis, I can get a refund [09:31] damn [09:31] Adross: try on some other machines /port till its seen... but i wouldent trust it... [09:32] Dr_Willis, it's been working fine for weeks [09:32] without any incident [09:32] just this morning in fact [09:32] ^cheeky: it looks to me like it works fine from outside of your network :) [09:32] guys what is the difference of aptitude to apt-get? [09:32] <^cheeky> firecrotch, yeah coz my mate, seems to able to connect to it, i mean .. so i take it my server now it not protected by my firewall ? === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [09:33] <^cheeky> firecrotch, what you connected to :S [09:33] ^cheeky: http://72.241.195.141/ :) [09:33] <^cheeky> firecrotch, umm can i pm you for a min pls if you dont mind [09:34] ^cheeky: sure [09:34] http://72.241.195.141/ works here.. Look at all that porn! [09:34] <^cheeky> what [09:34] <^cheeky> :S [09:34] oh wait.. thats http://127.0.0.1 [09:34] :P [09:35] Dr_Willis: 127.81.52.13 works too! [09:37] i have ubuntu desktop edition, but when i plug in my hard drives it does not automount them.... but it does automount flashdrives === DIFH-iceroot is now known as iceroot [09:39] iceroot: stop braking you pc aruldy :) [09:39] gogeta: what? [09:40] so no one has ever had a problem with usb automounting? [09:40] with hal? [09:40] spO: not really [09:40] plug in the gizmo, chedk 'dmesg' output [09:41] i dont even know a hal.:( [09:41] IF the disks are ntfs filesystems. that were uncleanly unmounted by windows.. then it may refuse to mount them. [09:41] 'hal - he opens the pod bay doors right?' [09:42] yes dave [09:42] and ther eis no way to clean them if they are unclean [09:42] and by unclean you also mean that they could have been uncleanly unmounted by ubuntu, right? [09:43] hmmm.. gnome-do can tile and cascade windows... thats a feature that gnomehas needed for a while [09:44] i need to get me a usb hard drive and a wireless card, so i can join in all this fun..:D [09:44] hello [09:44] after installing restrictged drivers X doesn't start anymore [09:44] how can i revert ? [09:44] dr, if you just disconnect or turn off a power of a usb drive, then it is not unclean so that ubuntu won't mount it anymore, will it? [09:44] any one using Intel 4500 video card with Ubuntu 8.04 LTS? [09:45] hello:) how can i activate and use the windiws burn effect @ ubuntu? [09:46] spO: so this is a NTFS filesytem drive? or linux filesystem? [09:46] spO: If you just cut the power to a USB drive without unmounting it, its pretty much a crapshoot as to what state it will be in [09:46] it is ntfs [09:47] you can force mount [09:47] see ntfs-3g man page [09:47] can linux clean ntfs drives? [09:47] spO: In that case, its probably more likely that there'll be a problem than if it was ext3, for example [09:47] народ [09:47] хелп [09:47] Golden_Eagle: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:47] spO: then plug it into a windows sstem.. let windows scan/check it.. properly unmount and then try to accessit from linux [09:47] how can i read -x log errors? [09:47] Total_Oblivion: do you mean paint fire on screen? [09:47] richardcavell: make install only needs root if you don't have permissions to write wherever it's installing [09:48] у меня ubuntu на virtual box. как получить доступ к файла windows из под него? [09:48] Yesterday, the buttons on my keyboard actually controlled the sound. now they bring up the thing, but it doesn't display as having any volume there, and doesn't change when I press the buttons.(neither does the sound) [09:48] that stupid compiz effect when uoi close windows [09:48] richardcavell: i suggest using stow so things don't become a unmaintainable mess if you're make installing things === Vivilnar is now known as vivilnar- [09:51] when I click "volume control" I get "No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found" it worked a while ago. That and the buttons on my keyboard are now broken, and Virtual box is giving me a new error about the audio being unresponsive. My uptime is 10 days, I don't want to restart, but I'm wondering if that would fix it? :( [09:52] kiaas_: Most likely, pulseaudio went fubar. [09:53] is there a log saved form the irssi channels or conversations? [09:53] mralexandro: Not generally by default no. [09:53] psi-jack: could you help me set it up? [09:53] cast: I don't have it installed === vivilnar- is now known as Vivilnar [09:54] psi-jack, is there a simple way to restart pulseaudio? [09:54] richardcavell: no, you wouldn't. [09:55] kiaas_, is it like alsa and just pulseaudio restart? [09:55] oldude67, I'll try that. [09:56] Hi, I am having problems on ubuntu, I am using ubuntu 8.04 and my audio randomly stops working/randomly my mouse freezes/randomly I can't click the shutdown button at the top right so I have to hard shutdown. Anyone know how I can fix this? [09:56] can someone help me with unetbootin [09:56] oldude67: No, it's not. [09:56] oldude67: pulseaudio last I checked in Ubuntu, which has been a while, mind you, runs at login by the user logging in. [09:57] psi-jack, dont know uninstalled it, doesnt like my intel sound card. [09:57] pulseaudio restart gives lots of errors :/ [09:57] kiaas_: Now, let me get this straight. You mentioned VirtualBox. Is Ubuntu running in the virtualbox, or is something else? [09:57] oldude67: I always remove pulseaudio right off. [09:57] oldude67: I have a GOOD sound card that doesn't need a software mixer. [09:57] psi-jack, Ubuntu is running on hardware. Vbox is on ubuntu, running win7. [09:57] psi-jack: if you do that do you still get sound? [09:57] richardcavell: Of course I do! [09:57] richardcavell, yes [09:58] PulseAudio to me is HORRIBLE. [09:58] alsa still works [09:58] Well, I'm running Karmic, and every time they update PulseAudio it breaks more and more [09:58] ALSA is the actual sound system Linux uses, PulseAudio is NOT the audio system drivers. [09:58] OSS is another sound system Linux uses [09:58] OSS is deprecated. [09:58] Not any more. [09:58] It won't be in the kernel too much longer. [09:58] xlq: Linus already decided it's going bye bye. [09:58] richardcavell: pulse is just a alisa overlay thats saupposed to make it better but it can be removed [09:59] xlq: not anymore you say? [09:59] Hi, I am having problems on ubuntu, I am using ubuntu 8.04 and my audio randomly stops working/randomly my mouse freezes/randomly I can't click the shutdown button at the top right so I have to hard shutdown. Anyone know how I can fix this? [09:59] gogeta: so if I uninstalled pulse I'd still have sound? [09:59] cast: apparently [09:59] richardcavell: should [09:59] goodnight everybody [09:59] xlq: OSS is still deprecated in the linux kernel. [09:59] exit [09:59] I installed PulseAudio at my first opportunity. [09:59] psi-jack: oh, in the *kernel*... [10:00] xlq: Yeah, IN THE KERNEL. ALSA provides OSS compatability. [10:00] Hi, I am having problems on ubuntu, I am using ubuntu 8.04 and my audio randomly stops working/randomly my mouse freezes/randomly I can't click the shutdown button at the top right so I have to hard shutdown. Anyone know how I can fix this? the only way I can solve this is by hard shutdown then turning back on the comp and it's fixed for a few hours :( [10:00] hi [10:00] psi-jack: is your nick named after the sound server? [10:00] xlq: No [10:00] ShawnC have you run memtest on your machine to make sure you don't have bad ram?? [10:01] 1.5 gb [10:01] of ram [10:01] ShawnC, what video card are you running as well? [10:01] umm [10:01] hello i have a machine i just successfully installed ubuntu on, but it has no internets, i have tried to use apt-zip, but before using that i would need to run 'apt-get update' which i can't because it is offline [10:01] How will I figure out the video card [10:01] ? [10:01] ShawnC, um, that means nothing to memtest. It makes sure the ram is actually good, not how much of it there is [10:01] hey papul [10:01] oh [10:01] and terminal doesn't run [10:01] and programs don't open properl [10:01] y [10:02] Crap crap crap.. Ubuntu didn't install grub on the right location. [10:02] ShawnC, try memtest and check the hard drive. [10:02] ShawnC, my computer did that a lot with my wireless card enabled. [10:02] can someone help me with unetbootin? [10:02] plz [10:02] BRB, lemme reboot [10:02] abhifx: in what way? [10:02] so I can run terminal... [10:02] instaling linux with it [10:03] i have already booted in a live mode. [10:04] but cabt install from the live session [10:04] Oy.. That's another factor of Ubuntu I don't like, it doesn't like using the proper methods of putting Grub on a bootable partition, instead of on the MBR where it doesn't ever need to be. [10:05] psi-jack: thats debateable i guess.. but then again. i dont recall any dissrtos doing it other ways. [10:05] i guess some do ask. :) [10:05] plz help me install ubuntu from unetbootin [10:05] does anyone else run multiple monitors with separate x screens? [10:06] mrgenericuser: i have befor.. but i dont see the need for seperate X screens [10:06] dmesg doesn't even list my ntfs usb drives [10:06] spO: Obviously. [10:06] is there a way to install ubuntu without a cd [10:06] spO: it will show info as you plugin/remove the devices [10:06] dmesg is the kernel log; if you're using NTFS-3g, it's using FUSE. [10:07] The U in FUSE stands for Userspace/Userland [10:07] :) [10:07] plug in.. wait a few sec... check dmesg... [10:07] running nvidia card, combined x (twinview) fullscreen games try to use the full width of the x desktop and game is split between screens, looks bad. [10:07] maybe i need to install fuse packages then [10:07] mrgenericuser: You could just disable one screeen launch game.. then restore it.. [10:07] spO: It should already handle that for you automatically. [10:07] is there a file system that is supported by windows and linux? [10:07] and my secondary screen is left of my primary [10:07] mrgenericuser: most games ive tried dont have that issue.. only some of the older/badly programmed ones. [10:08] ahem... can anybody help me in installing ubuntu without burning it [10:08] sp0: yes [10:08] openarena and wesnoth [10:08] dont run wine for windows games, just dont run windows games anymore [10:08] abhifx: How do you propose to install it? [10:08] abhifx: download unetbootin, run it.. point it to the ubuntu.iso and your flash drive.. let it copy files over... boot flash drive. [10:08] sp0: ntfs, vfat, and ext2/ext3 with a third-party driver for Windows [10:08] Hm wesnoth fullscrerned fine for me the other day.. let me try again [10:09] well this is big .. what a letdown ... Ubuntu loosing its edge with hardware support ... it used to be tops in that respect ... [10:09] zetheroo: what's failed you now? [10:09] my wifi [10:09] Atheros [10:09] the only problem i have with separate x screens, is that i cant force apps launced on the second screen to open on that screen...... [10:09] kb1jwq : i ws trying with unetbootin [10:09] Dr_willis: i hv already done that [10:09] but i wont let me install it on a dedicated partition [10:09] I updated ubuntu hardy now my installation is broken, the wireless is not detected, the nvidia card is not detected, etc.. please help me [10:09] Everyone, I want to ask a favour from you all. [10:09] Dr_Willis: OpenSUSE allows you to choose easily, and defaults to using the boot partition. [10:09] Hi all. I installed ubuntu netbook remix, made switch to a normal gnome desktop (there is such a thing in preferences) and now gnome-panel and metacity don't start up. How do I cure that? [10:10] blognewb was recently diagnosed with AIDS. He's gone around telling a lot of people on IRC, which suggests he's going through some kind of breakdown. If you could please reassure him that AIDS isn't always terminal (AIDS patients live on for 20+ years in some cases), it'd be a big help. Thanks. [10:10] abhifx: huh? You use unetbootin.. make the flash drive.. then you REBOOTED from the flash drive? [10:10] xlq: seems like a lot of people are having issues with Atheros wifi chipsets in Ubuntu Intrepid and Jaunty [10:10] abhifx: i use unetbootin/flash drives to install to all my machines [10:10] is there fglrx driver for 9.04 ? [10:11] i dont have such big flash drive [10:11] xlq: its a real big letdown for people who are actually trying to use Ubuntu as a solid and reliable replacement of Windowz [10:11] abhifx: 1 or 2 gb is plenty [10:11] !kickstart [10:11] Ways to automate installation of Ubuntu on multiple machines are described at https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/installation-guide/i386/automatic-install.html - See also !cloning [10:11] abhifx: Could try that. [10:11] abhifx: so what are you trying to do with unetbootin then? install to hard drive with it? [10:11] Er... [10:11] zetheroo: have you tested backport drivers , it is a kernel issue not ubuntu actually [10:11] !pxe [10:11] Sorry, I don't know anything about pxe [10:12] abhifx: Google for PXE boot. [10:12] next time there is a new Ubuntu release they should post warnings regarding changes made that destroy hardware support [10:12] TheNano: made it even worse [10:12] Dr_willis : i have instaklled it on a hard drive and booted the live session. but it wont let me install it [10:12] Hello there [10:12] abhifx: because the disk is in use im guessing.... [10:12] zetheroo: what about madwifi ? [10:12] Kb1jwq : thnk will look for it [10:13] why is there no xorg.conf anymore in ubuntu karmic? [10:13] abhifx: i inly use it to make bootable usb drives. [10:13] does windows have good ext3 support? better than ubuntu's ntfs support.... ie, can you do things like clean ext3 files systems in windows? [10:13] dr_willis : yes thats the problem [10:13] TheNano: that is what backports does ... it installs madwifi in the place of ath5k [10:13] abhifx: and since you got nothing else to boot. you cant use gparted from a live cd/whatever to resize... [10:13] zetheroo: backport installs latest untested version of ath5k [10:13] * Dr_Willis has seen 2gb flash drives for $5 [10:13] Dr_willis : is there some other way besides unetbootin [10:13] TheNano: and madwifi since Intrepid seems to have spilt its guts all over the place [10:13] abhifx: with no flash drive.. you get limited.. [10:14] abhifx: someone mentioned a pxe boot... [10:14] TheNano: whats the command you are proposing? [10:14] spO: There's some ext3 driver for windows, but I could never get it to work [10:14] you can compile ath5k by youself, as well, installing madwifi is not as easy as just installing backport, I can check it [10:14] dr_willis : i even tries wubi [10:14] <^sQl^KinG^> wew [10:15] TheNano: I did sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-jaunty [10:15] abhifx: id run ubuntu in virtualbox befor i would use wubi [10:15] TheNano: and that completely screwed things up [10:15] hi all [10:15] abhifx: what are you trying to install it on? [10:16] Dr_willis : i want to explain it more [10:16] xlq : let me explain [10:16] i am running jaunty [10:16] quick question why does system monitor say abrowse issleeping [10:16] TheNano: I also tried installing the madwifi drivers and did not get passed "make" due to errors .... and I have compiled madwifi without a hitch many other times ... [10:16] i have downloded ultimate edition [10:16] hi can somebody please help me with installing packages on the offline machine? [10:16] im on abrowse now [10:16] i want to install ultimate edition [10:17] i have both win vista and jaunty [10:17] abhifx: all ultimate edition is - is a bunch of preinstalled packages. basically.. not worth messing with. [10:17] ok how can i reset gnome i can't run gnome anymore :( [10:17] stick with normal Jaunty. [10:17] is that a bug with abrowse aka firefox 3.5 [10:18] majnoon: gnome settings are saved in .gnome* and .gconf* you could move those dirs and try logging in again [10:18] dr_willis : i downloaed ultimate because i keep on messing with my linux box. i cant always download stuff for jaunty [10:18] tried that Dr_Willis [10:18] so if the kernel is the reason for the issue with Atheros chipsets ... is there a way to get an even newer kernel? [10:18] zetheroo: you do have to blacklist ath5k , take a look here , but there should be better guides , I can't find right away https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Atheros [10:19] xlq : i want to install it on a dedicated partition [10:19] !install [10:19] Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways.

[10:20] iofafo: ubuntu dosent really use runlevels - from what i recall. [10:20] TheNano: yeah ... that's for Intrepid ... [10:20] 2 is the default runlevel. [10:20] ubottu : thanks, will check it [10:20] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [10:21] it will apply [10:21] zetheroo: it will apply as I can see [10:21] dr_willis : yes ubuntus installer is different. i ws able to install linux few years back this way [10:21] run level 6 is restart every time I've tried it o.o [10:22] TheNano: and what exactly is this? Is this a single How-To ? ... or two on the same page? [10:22] i gotta find some good upstart docs some day.. [10:22] how to query installed package using command? [10:23] icarus-c: could you be a bit more specific? [10:23] something like rpm -q? [10:23] icarus-c: err.. ubuntu uses apt [10:23] !apt | icarus-c [10:23] icarus-c: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome), !Adept (KDE) or !KPackageKit (KDE) [10:23] i konw [10:23] but is there equivalent [10:24] so check the apt-get docs/guides :) [10:24] theres also 'apt-file' thats handy [10:24] !info apt-file [10:24] apt-file (source: apt-file): search for files within Debian packages (command-line interface). In component universe, is optional. Version 2.2.0 (jaunty), package size 25 kB, installed size 172 kB [10:24] icarus-c: Well, you see.. rpm uses a system-wide package database for dependancy resolution, and since there's no rpm database on Ubuntu because it uses apt and debian packages, no. there's no real alternative. [10:24] zetheroo: it's atrobel shooting guide that checks 3 different way of make it work , there is many more howtos you should check out, my athreos on Aspire one works just fine wit ath5k [10:25] Dr_Willis: i don't get anything interested from man apt-get apt-cache [10:25] Dr_Willis: Hmm? apt-file? How's that different from using dpkg? [10:25] psi-jack: it uses some sort of cache/database. [10:25] Dr_Willis: Ohh, so faster, perchance? [10:25] yes - i think its what the bot uses [10:25] !find apt-file [10:25] Found: apt-file [10:25] Aha! Cool. I'll look into that. [10:25] !find smb.conf [10:25] File smb.conf found in ebox-samba, fusesmb, linpopup, manpages-zh, mythbuntu-common (and 6 others) [10:26] TheNano: ok .. well thanks .. I just need something that is current ... I cannot afford to loose any more of my sanity :) I have already tried too many How-To's which were not current ... [10:26] icarus-c, do you want to see if package installed or not? [10:26] icarus-c: what are you trying to find out? [10:26] So how would you guys check if a specific package is installed or what is included in a package? [10:26] kavurt: yes [10:26] icarus-c: "dpkg -s package", or "apt-cache show package" [10:26] Dr_Willis: Wait, curious. Does apt-file search a centralized database, or the local system? dpkg only does the local system. [10:27] aptitude search package [10:27] if it has an i in front, it is installed [10:27] psi-jack: not sure.. [10:27] heh, another thing I don't like about Ubuntu's graphical installer. [10:28] You can't setup your network manually if you have a DHCP server running. it just doesn't give you the fricken option. :/ [10:28] psi-jack: its user friendly.. :P [10:28] lol [10:28] Too much so. :p [10:28] ubuntu should have an "expert mode" :D [10:29] Even Windows' installer is user friendly, and they ask network configuration. [10:29] or just NetworkManager is too clever [10:29] hey [10:29] is there an application that makes possible you to record which books you read? [10:30] icarus-c: "Expert Mode" is called Debian. :-D [10:30] record? gedit perhaps/ :) [10:30] can lvpm be used for installing ubuntu [10:30] Oh great! [10:31] Ubuntu died a horrible horrible death to BusyBox trying to boot. [10:31] psi-jack: you are just an unfriendly user! :) [10:31] it heard you bad mouthing it! [10:31] Dr_Willis, but I was seeking for something organized, see? [10:31] Dr_Willis, I'm a Law student and I want to record all books I've took for reading [10:31] euzao: how do you really want to 'organize' this list of books? [10:31] !find library [10:31] Found: guile-library, hol88-library, hol88-library-help, hol88-library-source, libclaw-dynamic-library-dev (and 6 others) [10:32] Dr_Willis: Well, actually, it says /dev/mapper/sys-root doesn't exist. [10:32] !guile-library [10:32] Sorry, I don't know anything about guile-library [10:32] psi-jack: hmm. thas somthingto do with lvm/raid? stuff? [10:32] Dr_Willis: LVM, yes. [10:32] euzao: there are some sort of book data base apps out. [10:32] some are for comic books. :P === Enissay_ is now known as Enissay [10:33] hey [10:33] my laptop is not working in ubuntu means internet connection is not working.

[10:39] TheNano: research is easy enough when there are not dozens of people purporting to all have "the fix" ... [10:40] luomo: fresh install or Upgade to 9.04? and has it never connected with latest ver? [10:40] is there any way to redownload the installed packages into cache after using 'apt-get clean' [10:41] no i have live DVD and checking connection before installing [10:41] Anarhist: --download-only [10:41] TheNano: the thing is that it all boils down to either finding something that works for you exact hardware by testing and trying out all kinds of "fixes" ... or finding someone with the exact same hardware and the same distro release who had already had and fixed the issue .... neither option is easy [10:42] do you have a useb wireless or wired nic available? [10:42] xlq, but how do i get it to download packages already installed? [10:42] why would you want to? [10:42] anyone know of a way to make X11 clients resilient to X.org crashes?

[10:44] zetheroo: what is you hardware , pc model [10:44] hmm, well it doesn't for me [10:44] what i meant was that when i did tech work, i kept a usb wireless card available for testing. maybe the drivers for your internal nics have been depricated, or need to be installed after you install the new version.

But it just hangs after some time. [11:24] scott1: delicious.com (previously called del.icio.us) is a "social bookmarking" website.

[11:25] !ntfs [11:25] Roland: What server it is hanging on? [11:26] Roland: If it's one of Ubuntu servers, you can change them in 'gksu software-properties-gtk', or if you prefer, editing /etc/apt/sources.list [11:26] grawity, ee.archive.ubuntu.com:80 (194.126.124.38), connection timed out [11:28] Roland: Mhm, it's one of Ubuntu servers. Try changing it to another nearby one - for example, lv.archive.ubuntu.com (I guess ee means Estonia?)

[11:28] And now..nothing is making any sound whatso ever. [11:28] scott1: try a 'sudo apt-get update' 'sudo apt-get upgrade' then try to install it again [11:29] wats sudo [11:29] !sudo [11:29] sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [11:29] so, uninstalling pulseaudio so ALSA handles everything more directly is just sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio? [11:29] kiaas_: I'd do purge, instead of just remove. [11:29] kiaas_, i just uninstalled it from synaptics. [11:30] psi-jack, k. [11:30] Speaking of package management though.. [11:30] grawity, I changed it to the lithuanian server, but it still tries to connect the estonian server in the end [11:30] OpenSUSE has the ability to lock a package from even being installed (or uninstalled), does apt/dpkg yet have such a feature? [11:30] kiaas_: sooo you're having trouble with sound? are you on 9.04? did you upgrade from an earlier distro? [11:31] SchighSchagh: It's PulseAudio, it's known to suck, period. [11:31] I had added a new keyboard layout, switch is set to both alt keys but i can't switch them. Not even for test [11:32] ive had no issues wuth Pulse Audio [11:32] :) [11:32] SchighSchagh, nope. 8.04 and 8.10 freezes before starting X on my hardware, so rather than screwing around in CLI in an area I'm most unfamiliar with I tried one of the 9.04 Betas, and it worked. and the sound issue is new. 10 days of uptime and sound screwed up [11:32] Roland: How did you change it? Is the new server in /etc/apt/sources.list? [11:32] 10 days, 22 hours, before all sound died. [11:32] hi there! i have a problem with external hdd. i need to format an external lacie 500gb. i tried to use gnome format, but when i do it says "Error opening /dev/sdb: permission denied" this occurs also with other devices. should i try to fix this or try a better application? thanks [11:32] Dr_Willis: Pretty much most of what PulseAudio can do, ALSA already does without the need of wasting CPU cycles re-mixing sounds. [11:32] kiaas_: umm, you're running an 9.04 beta?? [11:33] SchighSchagh, No. I've updated since then xD [11:33] never figured out how to get alsa to play sounds out of the pc in the living room from here. :P [11:33] pulseaudio? :f [11:33] hi again , :) I am having a problem when install a .deb can someone help me ? Error: Dependancy is not satifiable: libcairomm-1.0-1 [11:33] Dr_Willis: Heh, sheash.. [11:34] Dr_Willis: NFS man! NFS! :p [11:34] Dr_Willis: Actually depends on why exactly you'd want to. [11:34] kiaas_: reason I bring this up is because PA was misconfigured in 8.10, and probably in 9.04 beta as well. a clean 9.04 install should set it up right, but upgrading from 8.10 or 9.04 beta can leave legacy (and incorrect) config files [11:34] * Dr_Willis uses pulse audio to send sublimimal sound messages to the wifes pc in her bedroom from the basement [11:34] :) [11:34] Do you know that ESPEAK has bugs in Ubuntu 9.04? [11:34] Dr_Willis: Heh. esound could do that too. heh [11:35] is thera any risk with removing indicator applet ? [11:35] which spams the auth.log [11:35] Dr_Willis: Or simply just remote logging in and playing the sound from within it. [11:35] rek, did chmod work? [11:35] SchighSchagh, so why would I not get problems until after ~11 days of uptime? [11:35] psi-jack: I was thinkign you cant do that remotely any more - wrong owner of the snd devices... [11:35] no-one? [11:35] kiaas_: have you tried http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=789578 [11:35] kiaas_: I have no idea [11:35] Dr_Willis: Sure can. [11:36] thank you [11:36] rodolfo, is the drive mounted? [11:37] oldude67: yes [11:37] anyone else had this problem? with dbus-daemon [11:38] hi all, out of nowhere evolution suddenly started exhibiting a strange behaviour when I'm composing mail... whenever I type the t character, it opens up a window for adding attachments... the keyboard shortcut for that is meant to be alt-v to open the View menu and then T..... so why is it opening that window when I'm just typing an email ? I can bypass by using capital T instead... which I can't do for obvious reasons. any thoughts ? thanks [11:38] rodolfo, try gparted? and i dont think you can do that while its mounted.. [11:38] Having problem with Error: Dependancy is not satifiable: libcairomm-1.0-1.I had install libcairomm but still getting the error .Hope someone ca explain the error. [11:38] oldude67: ah..so i should unmount first..i try [11:38] Thnak you [11:38] Thank you [11:39] oldude67: just tried unmounting..same problem [11:40] rodolfo: i tend to use a live cd. and gparted from the live d's for my partitioning needs [11:40] ubuntunewbie: libcairomm-dev [11:40] th0r: haven't install that [11:41] th0r: trying now [11:41] HI, how to send files computer-to-computer via bluetooth? [11:41] Dr-willis: i don't need to do partitions..just have to format an external drive [11:41] Dr_Willis: i don't need to do partitions..just have to format an external drive [11:42] rodolfo: you dont really need gparted for that.. [11:42] rodolfo: whenya plug it in.. ubuntu tries to munt it.. unmount it (right cick icon, unmount) then run gparted and it should let it format. [11:42] Dr_Willis: no infact..i was reading the description right now [11:43] rodolfo: use the mkfs.XXXXX command. [11:43] Dr_Willis: what's that? [11:43] rodolfo: the command line tool that 'makes a filesystem' ie: formats. :) [11:44] rodolfo: for example 'sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/sdi1' - formats my flash drive :) [11:44] Dr_Willis: .vfat says to format in FAT, isn't it? [11:45] th0r: still getting the same error [11:45] yes vfat = msdos/fat32 [11:45] HI, how to send files computer-to-computer via wireless?? [11:45] Dr_Willis, but i am right, as it shouldnt be mounted? [11:45] karex: if they can ping each other... theres numerous ways.. scp is one way [11:46] oldude67: you dont want to format a mounted fileysstem :) [11:46] !scp [11:46] SCP is a secure way of copying files across networks using !SSH. Usage: scp filename user@host:filename - WinSCP is a client for Windows, available at http://winscp.net/ [11:46] Dr_Willis: is there a GUI for that? [11:47] karex: why would you need one. :) [11:47] that would be.... gparted... :P [11:47] ubuntunewbie: what are you trying to install? === maciek is now known as Guest92797 [11:47] karex: YES [11:48] th0r: chess [11:48] Dr_Willis: i've installed gparted..ehm..i don't find it..

[11:49] gksudo gparted [11:49] karex: nautilus will do , just go to places connect to server and ... ssh , you maybe will need openssh-sftp-server installed [11:49] ubuntunewbie: synaptic doesn't have a package named other chess game [11:49] gksudo gparted /dev/sdb or whatever.... [11:49] th0r: .deb is one of the file and also got a file with tar.bz2 but the file got a lot of .sh and .in how to install that ? [11:50] TheNano: is it mean one should be server?? [11:50] th0r: synaptic doesn't have the ches.It's call gmchess [11:50] TheNano: is it mean one of them should be server?? [11:50] ubuntunewbie: where did you get the package? [11:50] hi [11:50] th0r: http://code.google.com/p/gmchess/downloads/list [11:51] DR_Willis: yeah..there it is [11:51] Alrighty then! Okay, so how do I enable xinerama dualscreen support now? heh [11:51] how do i cd into a directory permanently from within a script= [11:51] ubuntunewbie: uncompres tar.bz2 with right click on package and then try to find install file [11:51] mars: permently? [11:51] i want to use $ mycommand in bash and cd into /tmp [11:51] for example [11:51] cd whatever [11:51] next line of script [11:51] but my problem is that another shell is executed and then closed [11:51] hi [11:51] zvacet: how to install ? [11:51] :) [11:52] mars: That's just how it works -- you cannot do that with a shell script. You'll need to use either an alias, or a shell function. [11:52] DR_Willis: ok, i select the drive>right click>format to FAT32>apply [11:52] ubuntunewbie, you will have to read the install readme. [11:52] grawity: where do i define global functions? [11:52] DR_Willis: isn't it? [11:52] rodolfo: yes basically - its not too hard to figure out. [11:52] so i can execute them from my shell [11:52] mars: Your ~/.bashrc would probably be the best place. [11:52] ubuntunewbie: instructions should be in install file or read me file [11:52] cool i will try that [11:53] mars: back up.. You have a lot of scripts.. you wan tto be able to execute by just typing their names at teh shell? [11:53] DR_Willis: no infact..i just don't want to throw in the dustbin my new drive :) [11:53] mars: If it's only a single command, aliases would probably be enough. (alias t='cd /tmp') But for anything more complicated - functions. [11:53] zvacet: notinh on read me 0byte [11:53] ubuntunewbie: I don't see a deb file on that page, but the bz2 file is the source code and needs to be compiled [11:53] how do i run TS ?

[11:56] is there a problem with pidgin (finch) connecting to facebook in hardy? I can't seem to see the user, on startup it shows than disapears, is there a fix cause i havent found one? [11:57] how can I save a terminal 132x24 in my profile, in gnome, so the next time when I open the terminal to be opened with 132x24? [11:57] what does it mean when after running iwconfig I've got output " wlan0 IEEE 802.11abgn ESSID:"" " is there a problem with ESSID ? [11:57] i have now my function, but it calls 2 other functions (for modularity) [11:57] i do not want to pollute my namespace [11:57] ubuntunewbie: find libcairomm-1.0-1 in synaptic and install it then install deb [11:57] kamil: no [11:57] hello ; i want to make current home in separate partition to be able to install kubuntu with my old home [11:57] mars: perhaps time to check out some examples from the 'advanced bash scripting guide' ? [11:57] TheNano: OK, it's in progress... [11:58] mars: I din't think there's such a thing. (bash manpage might give some information) [11:58] Dr_Willis: i guess ;p [11:58] karex: it will work nice , you will see [11:58] Is there a DEB program package for the SIP phone 'X-Lite'? [11:58] ubuntunewbie: the source has the same sort of problem [11:58] dudes. how can i make ubuntu tu ask for the pass in order to view /home? [11:59] TheNano: OK, it's done [11:59] kebomix: so you want to use the same USER ? [11:59] Keiffer: you mean via samba shares? [11:59] th0r: huh ? same problem ? [11:59] Keiffer: yes , encrypt it [11:59] TheNano: i mean i want my firefox bookmarks and settings includsed on it :) [11:59] Why, when i add SCALA_HOME/bin to my path in /etc/environment is this location not accessible after boot/session start. If i manually source the environment file after session start the SCALA_HOME/bin is available. [11:59] zvacet: i did install libcairomm-1.0-1 but having the same problem [11:59] TheNano, i would encrypt my whole / but i saw that i need to reinstall it [11:59] ubuntunewbie: dependencies that I can't meet with synaptic. Looks like it uses libs that are later versions than are available for Jaunty [12:00] krg_: Adding it to ~/.bashrc would probably be better :\ [12:00] TheNano: please give a short "theory" to do that, I should go out for a while... [12:00] got the hardy backport package for pidgin (finch) and pidgin-facebookchat but the list of users shows on startup than disapears anyone know a fix? [12:00] Keiffer: encrypt just your home ,it's safer [12:00] DR_Willis: looks like it worked.. [12:00] TheNano: I mean how to get the server name [12:01] TheNano: well for now i just want home in separate partition [12:01] TheNano, how? what would you use to do that? [12:01] th0r: oh.. I am using hardy [12:01] karex: write just ifconfig and you will see the ipadress for the server [12:01] TheNano, I doo need home to store all the info... xchat logs for ex [12:01] th0r: it is in synaptic that is why I don´t understand what make troubles [12:01] TheNano: I followed one howtoo http://ubuntu-virginia.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=879134&page=2 [12:01] HOW I FUCKING RUN TS CLIENT ? [12:02] sky1: language! [12:02] Keiffer: aren't they in home always? [12:02] sky1: Like I said, tsclient [12:02] TheNano: is it mean in "Server:" in the dialog box should be written ip address? [12:02] th0r: can teach me how to compile ? [12:02] zvacet: I don;'t see it in synaptic [12:02] hi guys [12:02] grawity: that doesnt work [12:02] anyone know about this canon printer driver for cups [12:02] TheNano, yes. What I want to say is that, if i encrypt it, how the programs will know to decrypt it in order to store info [12:02] karex: why ? do you want to copy files or have internet shared ? [12:03] prizren: some exist.. some work.. some are totally unsupported. check cups.org web site for your specific make [12:03] ubuntunewbie: I just tried to compile it and that won't work either. Like I just told you...the compile wants versions of libs that I can't get through synpatic. You would have to download the source for the libs and compile them, then compile the program [12:03] TheNano: i want to copy a file [12:03] anyone got icq client working with wine? [12:03] TheNano: lshw -C network gives me output that wifi is enabled yet iwconfig gives ESSID="" is that al right ? [12:03] [12:03] Canon LBP3010/LBP3018/LBP3050 CAPT (UK) [12:03] sky1: go download it from the ts homepage.. and read their docs? extract install... [12:03] prizren, Yeah. I have a canon printer. I had to get the driver off of one of their Asian support sites, it wasn't on the one for North America [12:03] Keiffer: you nned to give the key when you login and then it is open to your programs until you log out [12:03] i have installed a driver Dr_Willis kiaas_ [12:04] prizren: for my canon printer i plug it in.. and it works... [12:04] kamil: are you connected to any wifi network [12:04] prizren, eh, then if it still isn't workign I can't help ya. [12:04] TheNano: no [12:04] yes, i have it all installed kiaas_ Dr_Willis but i dont get any results or error messages. [12:04] th0r: so you mean it need a specific version of libcairomm-1.0-1 which it's not at synaptic .I need to find the specific libcairomm-1.0-1 and compile it.But which one I should find ? [12:05] TheNano: I can't see any through network manager [12:05] kamil: when you are connected it will write a ESSID there for you [12:05] TheNano, How? [12:05] prizren: check the cups logs perhaps... [12:05] ok cups log good idea [12:05] kamil: you mean like there is awifi network here but you cant see it ? [12:06] ubuntunewbie: after you got that you would have to do the same for libgtkmm...that is where I ran into the problem trying to compile. And if you try to compile those you will probably find they require something else, that requires something else. I wouldn't advise even trying it [12:06] server alfons.abuser.pl [12:06] TheNano: I'm sorry, i should go for a while... === wiktor is now known as Guest21268 [12:06] * gon_ ausente: Ausente por el momento [12:06] server/alfons.abuser.pl [12:06] TheNAno: I might be in location where there are no wifi networks but I would like to know if there is a way to test if it works .. [12:07] kamil: it should work as it is on and I can't see any reason to say it will not work if there was a network there [12:07] TheNano, you still here? What should I use to encrypt it? [12:07] Hello [12:07] I am new to Xchat.. [12:07] Hi all ! I'm searching a sotware to index my movie collection. More precisely something that scan and indexe the content of my harddrive. [12:07] Keiffer: lets google for it [12:07] any idea ? [12:07] Can someone help me ? [12:08] Pls Help me [12:08] TheNano: When I click on the network manager icon with left click it says "no network devices has been found" and "manual configuration" [12:08] Anyone out there? [12:08] !ask | tuxbuddy [12:08] tuxbuddy: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [12:08] Thanks Dr_Wilis [12:08] I am new to Xchat [12:08] th0r: so complicated :S .Just wondering is there any link of ubuntu forum or website which teach step by step compiling ? I wanted to learn more [12:08] Keiffer: here you got a guide from one of ubuntu devs http://blog.dustinkirkland.com/2009/06/migrating-to-encrypted-home-directory.html [12:09] kamil: no network device mmm [12:09] TheNano, thank you Sir! [12:09] I am in search of Chat Server to setup on my Fedora Machine which can support more than 800+ users online [12:09] Can Xchat Support it? [12:09] tuxbuddy: xchat is not an irc 'server' - its an irc client. [12:09] Ok..Thanks [12:10] CAn I setup IRC Server? [12:10] this is linux.. 'of course you can' [12:10] Whats name of IRC Server? [12:10] tuxbuddy, why ask that in ubuntu if your using fedora? [12:10] tuxbuddy: There are many. [12:10] !irc [12:10] A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines [12:10] !info ircd [12:10] Package ircd does not exist in jaunty [12:10] I am now in Ubuntu .. [12:10] tuxbuddy: You'd better ask in #freenode though - the guys there are most experienced with those things. [12:10] TheNano: ifconfig -a says wlan0 is UP and has HW address [12:10] Someone an idea why my xchat makes no beep sound on a highlight even though it is set up to do so? Everything else is working (tab colored, taskbar flashing etc.), but no sound. It did that in the past but I don't know what I could've changed [12:10] But need to setup for My Intranet [12:11] For my Company project Guys [12:11] tuxbuddy: you may have a bit of research to do. Theres many irc 'servers' out - check teh package manager to see whats in there, [12:11] tuxbuddy: or check out 'jabber' [12:11] tuxbuddy: Many like InspIRCd. Freenode runs Hyperion, but it's quite old. UnrealIRCd is very popular, but it just plain sucks. [12:11] if I install ubuntu 9.10 alpha now and install all updates, will I end up with the release version when it is released? or will I lack some features forever if I do not install the final version / release candidate? [12:11] Jabber is acuired by Cisco [12:11] tuxbuddy: You could use XMPP (Jabber) instead. [12:11] Acquired by Cisco..:( [12:11] crashflow: You can update [12:11] !jabber [12:11] jabber is a free and open source instant messaging protocol, unlike MSN and AIM. Supporting clients on Linux: Kopete (KDE), Pidgin (GNOME). For more info see http://www.jabber.org [12:11] tuxbuddy: XMPP is _still_ a completely open standard. [12:11] XMPP [12:12] anyone here had a problem with pidgin connecting to facebook if so how did they fix the problem? [12:12] kamil: I'm not right guy for such a test , I will now take a look on my laptop to see if it is the same as you get , what w as your wifi hardware [12:12] XMPP..Lemme Explore [12:12] Does XMPP saves the Chat session too? [12:12] this is a little off topic but maybe you guys can help me [12:13] tuxbuddy: Saving the chat logs is a feature of the client, not the server. [12:13] Dr_Willis, what about new themes for ubuntu 9.10? will I get everything that the user of the final release has if I continuously update? [12:13] tuxbuddy: you could always make a logging client. :) [12:13] TheNano: manual configuration is probably for setting up your own wifi network right? [12:13] Does Xchat Do Have that feature? [12:13] crashflow: ubuntu is upgradeable.. thats a main feature.. [12:13] tuxbuddy: No. [12:13] tuxbuddy: Xchat is _IRC_ client - not XMPP/Jabber. [12:13] i have my laptop hooked up to speakers to play music and i am looking for a program to run under ubuntu that i can use my iphone to connect to , to control what songs get played [12:13] tuxbuddy: xchat is a client - it can save logs... [12:13] How Can I have that feature? [12:13] Okie [12:14] tuxbuddy: All IM and IRC clients support logging. But Xchat doesn't support XMPP. [12:14] tuxbuddy: perhaps hit F1 and read the xchat help docs. [12:14] One more feature- Can I integrate Server to My ADS [12:14] tuxbuddy: For what purpose exactly you need that? [12:14] kamil: yes, but normally you don't need that [12:14] why does ccpd keep segfaulting whenever i start it? [12:15] Grawity..We have Microsoft Outlook for all Professionals who believe in windows.I have ateam who wants seperate Chat Server setup but Creating different account is cumbersome.On Integrating with ADS they can login with the same username and password [12:16] TheNano: I think last time I installed this wifi all I needed was click on Network Manager and choose wifi as wlan0 and that was it after I could see at least a few networks [12:16] kamil: I have jaunty and it is not like that there is no manual configuration ... sorry , make you question more specific and long maybe the others can help you [12:16] tuxbuddy: ADS = Active Directory? [12:16] Thats why I want to setup Chat Server and Client on Fedora Server....Yes [12:16] Yes [12:16] TheNano: now only thing I can do is Edit wireless networks [12:16] Its Active Directory Server [12:16] kamil: yes it is as you say [12:17] tuxbuddy: AD uses LDAP, so I'm sure ejabberd, for example, supports something like that. [12:17] tuxbuddy: then why are you asking about Fedora in #ubuntu? :) [12:17] TheNano: only the problem is that there are none :) [12:17] ejabberd ? === sale_ is now known as sale [12:17] kamil: du you use ubuntu Networkmanager? [12:17] tuxbuddy: One of the most popular XMPP servers. [12:17] Does Ubuntu provide a DEB program package for the SIP phone 'X-Lite'? [12:17] !info X-lite [12:17] Package X-lite does not exist in jaunty [12:17] TheNano: yes the one that came up with installation [12:17] Sorry Guys..I knew yu guys Really Sound Great Experts.. [12:18] bullgard4: no i guess [12:18] Has anybody configured hist xChat to beep on highlighted messages? And does it work, actually making a sound on a highlight? (I'm on Jaunty) [12:18] TheNano: Thank you. [12:19] SO You guys think ejabberd is the One I need to go for [12:19] hi all, do i need to install windows to run wine ....just want to install winamp [12:19] bumbula: No, you don't have to [12:19] bumbula: wine dosent use windows.. [12:19] try xmms [12:19] bumbula: and theres players for linux that do most everything winamp does. [12:19] bumbula: It's the reason why you actually want wine, right ^^ [12:19] ahhh ok thyx a lot :-) [12:19] ^^ [12:19] !xmms [12:19] xmms is no longer being developed, see http://bugs.debian.org/461309 for more details. Consider using audacious, bmpx, or xmms2 instead. [12:19] Q|: I don't use xchat myself but considering the amount of customization you can do with it I'd be very surprised if there wasn't one person out there using "beep" on highligh [12:19] itah [12:19] ah [12:20] hi [12:20] Slart: Yes, I've used it myself before, but it stopped working. Could've happened with the update hardy -> jaunty [12:20] ejabberd ...can I find it on apt-get source repo [12:20] If I want to install it in UBuntu [12:21] Slart: So I actually need to figure out if it's a bug or if I've just made a mistake with something [12:21] Yes..Its there [12:21] apt-get install ejabberd [12:21] Q|: possible.. it's not just a configuration thing for pulseaudio? [12:21] grawity.. [12:21] Thats Really [12:21] great [12:21] Slart: Actually I'm quite sure it has to do something with PA, but I wouldn't know where to look at [12:21] Q: Is there a way to disable minimize in the gnome taskbar? [12:21] grawity: I need one more help [12:22] I only want clicking a button to "bring to front" [12:22] My VPN Client is not working on Ubuntu though it works for Windows [12:22] your version of Ghostscript is 8.6x, you may not be able to print some [12:22] documents. [12:22] Q|: try installing the packages paman padevchooser pavucontrol ... [12:22] http://forum.ubuntu-fr.org/viewtopic.php?id=290339 [12:22] Q|: then start the volume control and see if something shows up when you're highlighted [12:22] how can I uninstall a program that was installed by compiling the source code ? [12:22] I find I'm frequently clicking a button multiple times just to get it on top [12:22] My VPN Client is not working on Ubuntu though it works for Windows [12:22] (happens with pidgin a lot) [12:23] I`m new here... I need some help... Just got ubuntu on my laptop, it was running great, but, I don`t know why, it can`t play any sound anymore... [12:23] My VPN Client is not working on Ubuntu though it works for Windows [12:23] Slart: Nope, nothing shows up. pavucontrol is always open [12:23] yes, i have it all installed kiaas_ Dr_Willis "your version of Ghostscript is 8.6x, you may not be able to print" http://forum.ubuntu-fr.org/viewtopic.php?id=290339 === Psi-Jack_ is now known as Psi-Jack [12:23] Slart: I use it exclusively to change volume [12:23] Is this th right channel to make this tipe of question? [12:24] Q|: hmm.. does beep work if you try... for example.. backspace in the terminal when the line is empty? [12:24] foxfessel, yes [12:24] How Can I restrict root to ssh from the remote machine? [12:24] Slart: Nope, it does not. However, /usr/bin/beep does make a beep [12:24] foxfessel: yes and no, peoplie like more info like what hardware do you ahve and so on , I guess it usually is an easy thing you miss [12:25] how can i stop jaunty from beeping like hell at startup and shutdown, and is it symptomatic of a problem? i can't find anything wrong in the logs, but i get weird screen artifacts at bootup [12:25] Pls hElp [12:25] hummm [12:25] tuxbuddy, read the ss.conf file for example cases [12:25] tuxbuddy, read the ssh.conf file for example cases [12:26] Helle every one what tool can I have linux similar to symantec ghost or symantec ghost is also useful for imaging linux ,I have multiboot system to be specific [12:26] Slart: This would be the preferred solution btw, since I would like my PC-Speaker to be used, so I can hear it even if my Speakers are turned off [12:26] tuxbuddy: "PermitRootLogins no" [12:26] foxfessel: there is documentation on ubuntu.com and the wiki and the forum you should search by you hardware and some words for you problem if no luck then come back here, but someone maybe have time to help you anyway [12:26] Q|: have a look in system, preferences, sound... on the "Sounds" tab.. "Play alert sound" [12:26] Q|: I think that one has to be checked for the pc speaker beep to work [12:26] Slart, i'm talking about pre-GUI [12:26] Thanks! I'll give it a try.. =) [12:27] Well. Now that I have Ubuntu (or, rather, Kubuntu), installed. I'm actually somewhat impressed. [12:27] bidossessi: huh? [12:27] Slart: I've checked it now, has been unchecked. I can play the test sound and it plays fine with PA showing me that it's working, too. [12:27] Slart, it beeps erratically, as if, for instance a key was being pressed too long during POST [12:28] Slart: But still no sound in the terminal or with xChat [12:28] bidossessi: I'm discussing how to enable beep on highligh in xchat =).. I have no idea about your problem.. sorry [12:28] Slart, my bad, i though you were talking to me === solstice is now known as Guest41202 [12:28] Q|: hmm.. odd [12:28] bidossessi: no worries [12:28] Slart: Doh *lol* [12:28] th0r: Hi wanted to ask one question.What PPA ? [12:28] TheNano: i back. how to be the server?? [12:29] Slart: Now your last highlight worked o_O [12:29] Slart: And I have configured xChat to use an external program, /usr/bin/beep. [12:29] Q|: oh.. so it's kind of working now? perhaps it had to .. clear its throat? =) [12:29] Slart: The PC-Speaker is being used now. Just because of the checkbox you mentioned ^^ Somehow I can't make any sense out of it, but it worked at least :) [12:30] Slart: Well, it works in xChat, but still no sound in the terminal :D [12:30] Slart: Which I didn't notice prior to your suggestion at all to be honest ^^ [12:30] Q|: alright.. sweet.. if you need to test highlighting and such I can recommend #test .. they have a bot that will do all kinds of stuff to you =) [12:30] Slart: Oh, that's great to know, thanks [12:31] Slart: Exactly what I was looking for for a long time ^^ Thanks for your help [12:32] Q|: you're welcome === Guest70300 is now known as aaron11 [12:39] weirdness, each time one CPU goes in a valley, the other CPU "peaks" [12:39] AHHHH [12:39] oh there it is... I thought, where did my message go?! [12:39] IRC-sickness, GuidMorrow ^^ [12:40] helo [12:40] helo [12:40] helo [12:40] aaron11: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [12:40] you mean the server itself is experiencing lag? and I thought I turned off joins/parts on this thing [12:41] GuidMorrow: My guess would be some kind of lag, yes. Either on your or on the server side. [12:41] hg [12:41] h [12:41] g [12:41] oop [12:41] I have transmission running, downloading amd64 ubuntu [12:42] GuidMorrow: That sounds like a possible answer to the question ^^ [12:42] throttled at 15 kB/s [12:42] GuidMorrow: Oh, ok ^^ [12:43] !burn [12:43] 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 [12:43] What a neat feautre o_O [12:45] these CD's burn weird for whatever reason; if I attempt to even burn a bootable ISO image, and then try to boot to it, it won't even boot to that CD, even though I have it set in BIOS to boot from CD [12:46] I had this one issue happen when I installed ubuntu on this HP box [12:47] wasted about 5 CD-Rs trying to figure it out [12:48] GuidMorrow: Maybe you should try it with a CD-RW first in the future. Burning has some issues with me, too. Can't burn a DVD-RW for example, but CD-* works [12:48] How can I add a new root user? [12:48] heo: There is only one root user. [12:48] !root | heo [12:48] heo: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [12:49] heo: Besides.. Why would you possibly ever need more than one root? [12:49] heck why does this thing ask for my password each time I want to install a package [12:49] heo: if you want another user who is allowed to sudo, create her account and make it a member of the admin group [12:49] So the only way to get CANON LBP2900 working is to install 8.04 on i386? [12:50] so, how can i stop jaunty from beeping like hell at startup and shutdown, and is it symptomatic of a problem? i can't find anything wrong in the logs, but i get weird screen artifacts at bootup (looks like what a broken LCD does when you press on it: colours). [12:50] GuidMorrow: beacuse installing is an administrative task [12:50] GuidMorrow, it's making sure that you are the person autorized to install packages [12:50] !admin [12:50] Sorry, I don't know anything about admin [12:50] GuidMorrow: making chances to the system should require a password.. it's just a good idea [12:50] !sudo | GuidMorrow [12:50] GuidMorrow: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information.

[12:54] bleeting? [12:55] bidossessi: it does *what*? === magnet_ is now known as magnet [12:55] beeping? [12:55] bleeding? [12:55] . [12:55] actually a little of both :p [12:55] diodes? [12:55] guntbert: Is it just by clicking a cross in System>Users and ... [12:55] ... Groups>Manage Groups> Admin ? [12:56] GuidMorrow: LED's [12:56] There seems to be a lot of trouble with flash. My kid likes to watch videos on PBSkids.org and they are so choppy they are unwatchable. Any suggestions. [12:56] it beeps rather randomly and my screen gets covered in (rather nice) fractal colors i normally associate with a broken LCD until gnome starts. [12:56] beatty are u using 32 or 64 bit [12:57] does anyone know how to constantly remove all gnome-panels? [12:58] masquerade, i would believe that removing them would make it permanent, unless your session doesn't get saved on exit... [12:58] like, your machine crashes [12:58] Did anyone try to change partition for /usr dir? [12:58] bidossessi, it sounds like something is trying to print binary data to the screen, or something..... [12:58] heo: thats what I meant, but you could also look at the account's properties(user privileges: administer...) [12:59] bidossessi: i cant remove the last panel through the gui, i would have to kill gnome-panel. and gnome-panel instantly restarts after killing it [13:00] hi [13:00] do they sell cdrw ultra speed discs at 700M capacity? I only used to have 650M discs with only 4x write speed [13:00] mrgenericuser, i really don't know. i's only annoying (and embarassing sometimes) because of the unstoppable noise, and the inability to see the logs, but the machine seems to boot fine. [13:01] Did anyone try to change partition for /usr dir? I'v installed /usr/local at BIG partition and wnat change partition for /usr/local to /usr [13:02] GuidMorrow: verbatim/mitsubishi does [13:02] bidossessi, try running memtest and hard drive tests to make sure something isnt being currupted. if all else fails, you could unplug the pc speaker from the motherboard ;) [13:02] Besogon, boot a live cd, move your files to their new location, edit your fstab to reflect changes, boot into your system [13:03] mrgenericuser, i don't think so. i'm dualbooting with opensuse and this only happens in ubuntu, mem and hdd are fine; furthermore it's a laptop [13:03] nobody's had this kind of issue before?

[15:54] it's 8GB, the card is likely a FAT32 filesystem [15:55] anything above 2GB has a FAT32 filesystem in it [15:55] arand, i'll try that and try hitting control to see if the mouse polls [15:56] of course, anything above 32GB has to be formatted to NTFS - Windows 2000/XP proprietary filesystem [15:56] i have another card lying around [15:56] arand, still when i hit left control the mouse pointer gets indicated... [15:56] its a memory stick pro card from my sony ericsson phone, i put it in and it worked [15:56] Qu4R0w: This is probably not much use to you unless you're running openWRT on the AP: in openWRT the command would be wl assoclist [15:56] bazhang, so to restore grub i'll need a linux live CD? [15:57] Think I'll have to wait 2 weeks until I can get more stuff [15:57] speedhunt3r: right, that's probably in mouse preferences then, look in the menus. [15:57] maybe i should post on the forums about my problem :p [15:57] diddy: did you manage to get audio from your video capture card? [15:57] :( [15:57] omg [15:57] arand, thanks how could i have missed that [15:58] Boot from a Live CD and open a terminal.

[16:10] xiphos: do you hear system sounds (login sound fo exapmle)? [16:10] yeah, I get the little drum beat at the splash screen [16:11] xiphos: are you trying to listen to mp3 files? If so you need to get a plugin to play those files [16:11] howot download kernel-source from apt-get isntall [16:12] version kernel 30 [16:13] I have actually been at this for a while, I have an x-fi sound blaster card [16:13] Creative looks to have released some drivers for it, and I have installed them, but I am having some trouble getting them to work [16:14] I cant get ALSA to work, just OSS [16:14] younes: are you using karmic? [16:15] welp. looks like after all that time i spent i'm not installing ubunru ;_; [16:15] legend2440: jaunty [16:15] ubuntu 9.04 [16:16] Just informed I urgently need IIS server in my machine. I've never installed or worked with it, so googled for how-to guide to install IIS on Ubuntu, but I found only Apache IIS comparisons or something alike [16:16] LaveliDeara, IIS is for windows only [16:16] LaveliDeara: IIS is Microsoft's web server and runs under Windows Server [16:16] is it possible to install it under VM [16:17] younes: sudo apt-get install linux-source but on my jaunty that would download linux-source-2.6.28 not 30 [16:17] LaveliDeara, should be possible [16:17] LaveliDeara: yes you can install in a VM, but it'll need Windows first [16:17] LaveliDeara, do you *need* IIS or do you just need a web server? [16:18] Halitech: I need IIS [16:18] LaveliDeara: why do you need it? [16:19] Hi, How can i disable gpg check in synaptic [16:19] rek: dual boot? [16:19] LaveliDeara, then you will need to use VMware or VirtualBox to install windows and then IIS [16:19] Padhu: I don't think you can. Better would be to import the package authors' publick eys. [16:19] public keys* [16:20] ok, "I" don't need it, it's for my friend [16:20] I have a real IP, and I'm only guy in near zone with real IP [16:20] LaveliDeara, either way, if someone needs it then they need windows [16:20] apache is much nicer anyway :) [16:21] maybe [16:21] Steve^, Apache is much more secure [16:21] but the installtion [16:21] Halitech: Steve^ ok I know :), I'm running apache [16:21] and it's on linux, so you can use all your favourite linux tools! [16:21] :) === aksci is now known as thedancingdeer [16:22] wassup? [16:22] Linux [16:22] how do i enable my front speakers! whatever i do, i just cant configure them! [16:22] so can I install IIS unde VM under Windows and configure my system that connecting via real IP will forward to IIS server ? :/ [16:22] how to i mount .cue/.bin files in Ubuntu? [16:22] LaveliDeara, if you want a headache [16:23] LaveliDeara: you can configure it so that port 80 forwards [16:23] grawity: am using dialup. Synaptic pickup the UK server. I couldn't download from indian server. because of GPG verification failure. [16:23] LaveliDeara: however, it would be safer to use an alternative webserver [16:24] sidewalk, # mount -o loop disk1.cue /mnt/test [16:24] LaveliDeara: if you use a VM you will either have to use iptables to do port forwarding or use a reverse proxy on the host system [16:24] seven7seven: You sure that will work? .cue is not an actual image, it's just an index. [16:24] hi all [16:24] thedancingdeer: in terminal try speaker-test -c2 -Ddefault -t wav no front sound? [16:24] sidewalk: I think you need to convert cue/bin to .iso (using bchunk) [16:24] lstarnes: if you are about apache, I'm running apache already 2 years :)) just need IIS for 2-3 how's [16:24] or, try the .bin [16:24] *hour [16:24] I'm not sure though [16:25] why does writing an iso image make the computer almost unresponsive? [16:25] LaveliDeara, given you know little about ISS, I think it'll take you longer than that to set it up [16:25] Steve^ I never used it [16:26] ok I'll try the way mentioned before [16:26] flintwingel Halitech Steve^lstarnes thank you guys very much ! [16:26] sidewalk, you may need cdfs to do that, from what I [16:26] * just read [16:27] # mount -t cdfs -o loop disk1.bin /mnt/test [16:27] hi [16:27] seven7seven: Correction: -t iso9660 [16:27] What is the config file again that governs whether I can use remote X sessions? [16:27] seven7seven: At least I think so....

[16:29] thedancingdeer: sorry not sure i only have jacks from motherboard for speakers [16:30] Th3_4l3, if it works locally but not through the router then its a setting in the router [16:31] legend2440: well, anyways, thanks for the speaker-test command! :D [16:31] Halitech i think same to you! But i've tested with 2 different router and i have the same problem :( [16:31] thedancingdeer: have you tried channel #alsa? [16:33] Th3_4l3, what router are you using?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [16:40] ok, thank you very mutch! [16:40] douwethaman: is it your first time using Ubuntu or your first time using IRC..

[16:41] aji_: An alias name can only be a single word. [16:41] douwethaman: ok.. it's pretty simple.. you write text which everyone sees.. we write text which everyone sees... you are now in the channel called #ubuntu where we talk about ubuntu related questions [16:42] aji_: For example, alias ln='sudo ln' (though I don't understand why do you need that one) [16:42] grawity, Oh ok. Thanks. [16:42] douwethaman: if you want to chat in your own language there is many channels for different languages.. we try to keep this one in english only [16:42] thank you again :-) now i understand! :D [16:42] Has the jaunty jackalope Installation cd changed since it was released? If I download the iso today will I have to update as many packages? [16:43] douwethaman: for example.. to go to the norweigan channel you would type /join #ubuntu-no at the same place where you'd normally type this text [16:43] I just finished 'fixing' the Apache2 configuration files. Does Ubuntu overlay these files with a new distribution? [16:43] ubuntu Ubuntu 8.10, why can i not upgrade to the latest kernel through apt-get? I don't like the null pointer exploit lingering. [16:43] oke, tnx [16:43] i go to norway [16:43] douwethaman: you're welcome.. [16:43] tikka, you can get the .deb files for the latest kernel [16:44] What is the config file again that governs whether I can use remote X sessions via SSH or not? [16:44] odinsbane thanks [16:44] tikka: how 'latest' are you talking about [16:45] what is the command to show what version of ubuntu that is running? [16:45] odinsbane, well the one that linux commited to git a few days ago to fix the null pointer deference vulnerability [16:45] tonii: lsb_release [16:45] !version | tonii [16:45] tonii: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy » [16:45] whatever the right term is, i don't actually use git myself. [16:46] thanks [16:46] and.. i meant linus, not linux [16:47] tikka, if you want it that knew you might have to compile it yourself. Or you can see what kernels they have here: http://www.ramoonus.nl/2009/06/10/linux-kernel-2-6-30-installation-guide-for-ubuntu-and-debian-linux/ [16:48] diddy: do you mean server's /etc/ssh/sshd_config? The X11Forwarding parameter. There is also a corresponding ssh_config parameter for the client [16:48] maladec [16:48] okay thanks odinsbane [16:48] tonii, it says to Get a new CD Drive [16:48] i have one spare [16:49] shall i put it into the PC? [16:49] Greggaz: it's either that, or the cd itself is broken. [16:50] I tried the '!lsb_release -a'. Here's what happened: [16:50] ted@auriga:/etc/apache2$ !lsb_release -a [16:50] lsb_release -a [16:50] No LSB modules are available. [16:50] But it did give me the information. [16:50] tonii, the disc was from ubuntu itself [16:51] stercor: mine also says No LSB modules are available but it still reports the correct info... [16:51] Greggaz: alright. try the spare you got, and see if that works better [16:51] hi [16:51] losher: I'll try googling it. [16:52] stercor: if you like. Not worth worrying about imo. Double check it via 'cat /etc/issue' if you're worried [16:52] why does system monitor run up the CPU?

[16:56] GuidMorrow: it can respond to specifically crafted messages but not to normal human prose [16:56] how can i find out what port wakeonlan is listening on? [16:57] Wake-on-lan doesn't listen on _any_ port. [16:57] It works on a lot lower level. [16:57] revygttam: it's your NIC which has to listen [16:57] revygttam: the bios doesnt know about ports. WOL is hardware level [16:57] Hi is anyone having audio problems with hulu? [16:57] revygttam, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wake-on-LAN [16:58] Hey. I have a problem with my internal apt setup. When I try to install something using aptitude it tells me to dpkg --reconfigure, but once I do that, it complains: http://pastebin.ca/1531550 - the problem has to do with a kernel I compiled some time ago (which I don't really care about anymore), but I can't seem to figure out how to get rid of the error. [16:58] revygttam: Basically, as long as a packet contains the required data (as described in the Wikipedia article), it is a valid WoL packet. No matter if it's TCP, ICMP ping, anything. [16:59] #j linuxac [16:59] grawity, yeah its actually working, but when i try to wake the computer with my router it doesnt wake, it said it sends on port 40000 so i didnt know if a port was the cause [17:00] what has happened to Startup Manager? Is it available? [17:00] revygttam: use "sudo ethtool ethX" to find out, if your NIC has wol switched on [17:00] revygttam: The packet must reach the other computer. This may require forwarding the port that your tool uses. But the computer itself doesn't care. [17:01] how do u ssh a windoze pc? [17:01] harjot: You don't. [17:01] I am having problems with audio on hulu, and any other java embedded file. I tried using different audio settings nothing works. So I think the problem is with java, or with firefox. [17:01] meathome: its in synaptic but not installed by default [17:01] harjot: install sshd, connect, work [17:01] harjot, from a windows computer or to a windows computer? [17:01] grawity: u have 2 install sshd on windoze pc? [17:01] kubuntu 2 windoze [17:02] ty [17:02] harjot, see here http://sshwindows.sourceforge.net/ [17:02] odinsbane, I asked around in some the other linux channels and provided mmap_min_addr is greater than 0 (65536 in my case) the system should be secure. figured I would relay that to you since I asked an awkward question hehe [17:02] so u have 2 install ssh on wondoze first? [17:02] harjot: you should probably use a different protocol such as rdp or vnc [17:02] if you want to control a windows computer with ssh then yes [17:02] ok tyvm every1 4 te help [17:02] If I delete a program and still see it's folder in /home can i just delete it?

[17:32] musikgoat, ok, maybe it's not intentional, but it looks like it's some kind of never ending script or fork bomb or something [17:32] musikgoat, it's something about the $($a $b) [17:32] and xp only sees that much cause u don't have a mass storage driver so you'll need to get that driver so u can see the rest [17:33] boss_mc: when I try to open this .7z file i've got it says 'archive type not supported'.

[17:42] but don't join unless you believe in all the conspiracy stuff [17:43] chazco: it sounds like something's corruptin...have you had this cycle happen multiple times, or did the constant segfaulting happen once, you reinstalled, and it was gone? [17:43] it's full of FBI [17:43] error404notfound: what about firefox with the firebug plugin? [17:43] NewWorldOrder: please stay on the topic of ubuntu support.

[17:44] maco - Every few months totem-xine will segfault and wont start until a full reinstall. Then it works for a few months and the same problem occurs... [17:44] yes but which one? [17:44] NewWorldOrder: i quite like my skirts, thank you very much [17:44] Risalat: you can easily install the ubuntu-restricted-extras which installs java jre [17:44] the RPM [17:44] ? [17:44] NewWorldOrder: did my link help you at all? [17:44] Risalat, apt-get install sun-java6-jre [17:44] !rpm | Risalat [17:44] Risalat: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) [17:44] Risalat: rpm? use applications -> add/remove and just check off the checkbox for it [17:45] NewWorldOrder: you know, when you have an opinion, it does not help to look down on those who disagree with you. But if you want to discuss it further, there's the offtopic channel. [17:45] Risalat: or system -> administration -> synaptic pakage manager [17:45] can anyone help me with samba problems in ubuntu 9.04?

[17:45] musikgoat: discussing how to have a constructive discussion probably is not :P [17:46] Chousuke, NewWorldOrder: politics are ok in ##offtopic but not #ubuntu or #ubuntu-offtopic [17:46] I tried twice no one responded [17:46] Chousuke: absolutely :) [17:46] THANKS EVERYONE! [17:46] say i am using two firefox, one from apt (3.0.x) and one from getfirefox.com (3.5.x), will both use the same .mozilla? is there a way to change it for one of them? say .mozilla35 or something? [17:46] Before I do another full reinstall can anyone tell me how to remove any trace of totem-xine and xine from the system?

[17:47] according to wiki that is. but it also looks like a novel ipx thing too. [17:47] NewWorldOrder, boss_mc, pptp is still used frequently though [17:47] Chousuke, hmmm, okay... [17:47] chazco: sudo aptitude purge totem-xine [17:47] howto install package deb force [17:47] how do i find /drivers/usb/host in a kernel config? [17:47] chazco: whatever it removes as unneeded dependencies, purge those too [17:47] chazco: apt-get purge should work for you [17:47] maco - Hmm... tried that before, seems something gets missed (as it still segfaults when reinstalled) [17:48] guntbert - Thanks :) [17:48] younes: "sudo dpkg -i foo.deb" if by "force" you mean it wnt install, then check dpkg's manpage for a list of options of things it can ignore [17:48] there should be a way to find out why it segfaults [17:48] guntbert, chazco: "apt-get purge" does not exist. there is "apt-get remove --purge" and "aptitude purge" [17:48] also, why not mplayer? :) [17:49] maco - Yep [17:49] !backtrace > Ben64 [17:49] Ben64, please see my private message [17:49] I can access my samba share on my ubuntu 904 server from my windows xp pc, but not from my ubuntu 9.04 laptop and I know I have set it up correctly, because I can access those shares on the laptop using firefox, why won't ubuntu let me access and mount them on the laptop? [17:49] Ben64: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProcedures [17:49] maco: I'm surprised, took it straight from the man page [17:50] guntbert: hmm?? /me looks [17:50] neodragon: you should probably say how you are trying to access them and what the result was [17:50] purge does exist [17:50] guntbert: hey it is in there. i wonder if thats new [17:50] maco: yeah I think last release iirc [17:51] maco: I wouldn't know - ah jrib tells us :-) [17:51] afternoon all [17:51] maco - I've removed and purged totem-xine and everything found by autoremove, checking that there isnt anything left using Synaptic. Anything else worth considering? [17:51] Hi, i just lost my mouse... that's not funny. First I lost my keypad then I pressed ctrl shift num lock and ctrl num lock trying to get it back. Loosing means clicking or tapping a button has no effect. what shortcut is there to disable/enable mouse buttons? [17:52] jrib: I can access them through firefox, but when I go to >Places>Networks and click on Windows Network, it says "unable to mount location, failed to retreive share list from server." [17:52] stef1: hold down "8" on the keypad [17:52] does the mouse go up? [17:52] maco: actually it's on my hardy server so it's older than I thought but it wasn't always available for sure... [17:52] it does! [17:52] heh [17:52] jrib: well good to know im not crazy :) [17:53] I am having some burning issues, can someone help me troubleshoot and point me in the right direction? [17:53] Anyone ever use bittorrent to create torrents? [17:53] maco - After removing all that, then reinstalling, segfault :( [17:53] jrib: this also shows how long we've been using ubuntu :P [17:53] stef1: gimme a sec, i'll look up how to make it normal again [17:53] what a stupid feature [17:53] thelostfaith: deluge can do it [17:53] stef1: it's stupid for you, but there are many people for whom it's _very_ useful. [17:53] stef1: its for people who cannot use mice [17:53] maco, I can't figure out for the life of me where bittorent placed the file [17:53] stef1: i saw this in fedora, system -> prefs -> keyboard -> mouse keys [17:53] stef1: its called "accessibility" [17:54] So, any ideas to avert having to reinstall just to get totem working? [17:54] why does installing simple-ccsm also install ccsm [17:54] neodragon: try entering "smb://ip_or_computer_name/share_name" in nautilus's location bar [17:54] strange it's normal again, i didn't do anything [17:54] chazco: figuring out which part is segfaulting might help [17:54] hm [17:54] well its alt+left shift+numlock [17:54] in case it happens again [17:54] maco - I went through something last time (gdb i think) trying to solve this with a few people... we couldnt get any decent answers... === brigitte is now known as bernd__b [17:55] chazco: do you have any particular attachment to totem-xine? [17:55] chazco: bad spot on hard drive and bad memory *would* be my suggestion except...across installs? and only on one app? weird [17:56] maco - Yep, would have thought same... done memtests and all sorts.. but as you say, one app makes it unusual [17:56] Ben64 - You mean like try another player? I need DVB and nautilius support, seems a shame to install another when totem usually works [17:56] I want to trim down the services that are started upon boot such as apache, mysql, and others. What command do I run to disable those? [17:56] i dunno, i just love mplayer [17:57] jordanwb: system -> administration -> services [17:57] Thanks [17:57] jrib: when I do that it says "Could not dislplay 'smb://ip-address/share-name'. Nautilus cannot handle this kind of locations." [17:58] Ben64 - I have tried others, but only Totem and Kaffeine seem to work well with DVB. Kaffeine is a bit bloated for a gnome install though. [17:58] chazco: what exactly is dvb? [17:58] jrib: does this mean I am missing some plugin for nautilus? [17:58] neodragon: you enter actual IP address of the network computer [17:58] Ben64 - Digital video broadcasting - ie, digital tv [17:58] jrib: yes [17:58] so you have a tuner card? [17:59] Ben64 - USB stick [17:59] neodragon: what version of ubuntu is this? [17:59] jrib: ubuntu 9.04 on both the server and the laptop [17:59] Ben64 - Just in case you were going to suggest it - unplugging it doesnt fix it [17:59] Anyone aware of a program that'll tell you the br of a media file? [17:59] how do i find the location: drivers/usb/host/pciquirks.c in the kernel config?

[18:06] ben64: when I type in the command you gave me on the laptop it lists all the shares, the server host name and the workgroup correctly, so why can't I access them normally/ [18:06] Can anyone guide me where I can get some information about setting autostart applications in Ubuntu with Gnome from command line?.. [18:07] does my computer guarentee still cover my computer if i format and put linux on it? [18:07] delllboy: The hardware, yes. [18:07] delllboy: speak to place you bought it from [18:07] KB1JWQ: you don't know that [18:07] delllboy: ask the place you bought it from [18:07] well its a dell if that helps [18:07] ikonia: There was one company that claimed it wasn't supported, and it made such a huge flap about two years ago that they backed down. [18:07] delllboy: ask dell and the support plan [18:07] whats the easiest way to add an mp3 as soundtrack to a mp4 file? [18:07] ikonia: So if it does void the warranty, an awful lot of people would LOVE to know. [18:07] KB1JWQ: that means nothing, asking HIS place of purchase is the only way [18:08] Ben64: when I type in the command you gave me on the laptop it lists all the shares, the server host name and the workgroup correctly, so why can't I access them normally? [18:08] neodragon: and you're just putting smb://[ip] in nautilus? [18:08] ah i bought from pc world UK [18:08] and it's not working? [18:08] delllboy: speak tot PC world UK then [18:08] Ben64: yes [18:08] I am having some burning issues, can someone help me troubleshoot and point me in the right direction? [18:08] anyone knows if libglade-java is available for ubuntu 64 bit somewhere? [18:08] Ubuntu tries to connect to my modem through wireless or wired connection and then shows message:"wired/wireless connection is disconnected". Could anyone tell me what to do? [18:08] how do I set trash:/ to the correct address for the deleted files? I get "unknown adress" when I type "trash:/" into the address bar [18:08] delllboy: http://www.linuxtoday.com/infrastructure/2007091203826NWHWLL [18:09] my xf86audioraise/lowervolume keys have stopped having any effect. they show notification but do not affect volume and nothing is changing in alsamixer/gnome mixer. pulseaudio 0.9.14, jaunty...gnome-settings-daemon shows up as a Client in "paman" when using xf86audioraisevolume key, but doesn't affect audio.. [18:09] kaddi: try trash:// [18:09] delllboy: ignore that link and get confirmation off PC world UK [18:09] delllboy - I've taken stuff back under the warranty at PC world before with Ubuntu on it, they wiped it off but didnt say anything. Still best to check though, could be a one off... [18:09] hi [18:09] Ben64 thanks, that works [18:10] ok continuation on webcam fps, it is fast in cheese but slow in all other software... [18:10] wiped it off? they cant just wipe your operating system off can they? [18:10] delllboy: this is nothing to do with ubuntu any more - speak to PC world [18:10] ok well im just asking that guy about his happening... [18:10] chazco [18:10] delllboy: Take it to PM [18:10] delllboy: it's offtopic for this channel - speak to PC World [18:11] uhh [18:11] delllboy - They asked first :D Only way to be sure though is to ask them [18:11] lol, obama guy got klined [18:12] oh right [18:12] how can I erase the content in /tmp [18:12] delllboy - They asked first :D Only way to be sure though is to ask them. Cant say any more than that i'm afraid. [18:12] acu: reboot [18:12] acu: sudo rm -rf /tmp/* [18:13] I am back [18:14] maco: it doesnt work [18:14] hello, i recently joined launchpad, but what kind of skill i need to be a good bugfixer? [18:14] what package manager should I be using? for kde front-end [18:14] hi folks. does anybody know which version of x.org is provided by the package xserver-xorg-core in jaunty? [18:14] how can i change the behavior of modifier keys + mouse click? like ctrl+left click [18:15] cpach: I think it's 1.6 [18:15] I put the command /home/zelrikriando/Desktop/GmoteServer/GmoteServerLinux2.0.0/GmoteServer.sh in my startup program list but it wont work [18:15] cpach: 7.4.5 is the version of xserver-xorg [18:15] any idea why is that? [18:16] zelrikriando: you might need to set the executable bit for it and make sure that it has #!/bin.sh at the top of it [18:16] lstarnes: #!/bin/sh [18:16] hbekel: oops, right [18:17] lstarnes, zelrikriando: unless it already has #!/bin/bash, in that case don't change it [18:17] lstarnes: at the top of the sh file I guess? [18:17] zelrikriando: yes [18:17] ok so i read that i dont need antivirus on linux but do i need like firewalls or anything else? [18:17] delllboy: a firewall might be a good idea [18:17] delllboy: depends on how you're connected [18:17] delllboy: ufw and iptables are installed by default [18:18] wireless to a router which has a hardware firewall im sure [18:18] delllboy: there are graphical frontends for them such as gufw and firestarter [18:18] delllboy: depends on your personal needs, think about how you use your system and work out what protection levels/tools you need [18:18] lstarnes: what about the executable bit? [18:18] I'm looking for the terminal command to allow unsupported packages to be installed with apt-get [18:18] zelrikriando: chmod +x /home/zelrikriando/Desktop/GmoteServer/GmoteServerLinux2.0.0/GmoteServer.sh [18:18] apt-give: define unsupported ? [18:18] lstarnes: lstarnes it's already rwx all the way [18:18] lstarnes: is that a stable x.org release? === dac is now known as Dacvak [18:19] cpach: yes [18:19] ok let s try again [18:19] ikonia i no more about the physics behind leaving our orbit than ubuntu/linux please dont ask me to think about my protection needs i just wanna know how things work with firewalls [18:19] Hey, how can I change my VirtualBox resolution to 1366x768? [18:19] What are the planned major changes for the next Ubuntu release? [18:19] delllboy: then this is not the correct channel, this channel is for ubuntu support, not networking/firewall lessons [18:20] ikonia: not officially for ubuntu, or something like that [18:20] apt-give: apt will go to whatever repo's you tell it to, dpkg (apt is the front end) can be used to install files outside of repo's [18:20] hi, my server is able to ping my router but it won't ping 'google.com'. my /etc/resolv.conf is setup and ifconfig looks valid. [18:20] what else could i test? [18:20] well when i joined this channel i asked if there was a knowledgeable person to answer all my random dumb questions [18:20] but i was asked to write them here because someone will know here [18:21] delllboy: sorry - this channel is for ubuntu support only [18:21] delllboy: there are other channels on freenode for your specific topics [18:21] geez [18:21] syntac: check the servers listed in /etc/resolv.conf [18:21] this was a waste of time coming here [18:21] syntac: can you reach them on port 53 ? [18:21] Hey, how can I change my VirtualBox resolution to 1366x768? [18:21] ikonia: i copied them directly from my working laptop. let me test the port 53 deal [18:22] syntac: always a good test (also use nslookup or dig to verify) [18:22] delllboy: /msg alis list *topic* to fin a more suitable channel [18:22] lstarnes: the weird thing is, i can't seem to find a corresponding source release on ftp.x.org. the xorg-server package there for X11R7.4 has the version number 1.5.1 [18:22] syntac: where is your server, what router, ubuntu server?, static ip?, dynamic? [18:22] ikonia: i tried dig earlier and it doesn't resolve either [18:22] Hello. I need help with Jack audio in Ubuntu (9.04) [18:22] Ben64: static. dynamic (dhcp) works [18:22] syntac: first thing then - use nslookup server $ip_from_resolv.conf and then lookgup google.com [18:22] syntac: ping 4.2.2.2? [18:23] Ubuntu tries to connect to my modem through wireless or wired connection and then shows message:"wired/wireless connection is disconnected". Could anyone tell me what to do? [18:23] how to send a message to a logged on user? [18:23] I have a matushita DVD drive and I cannot burn anything, can someone help ? [18:23] Ben64: pinging 4.2.2.2 'network is unreachable' [18:23] Does anyone here run VirtualBox? [18:23] Ben64: where did you get 4.2.2.2 from ? [18:24] Dacvak: Some do. What is your real question? [18:24] ikonia, i'm trying to install fslint with apt-get but it can't find it. i know it's in the repos, because i've installed it with synaptic before, but it's not showing up in my searches this time. this is a new install [18:24] ikonia: it's a very well known awesome, fast dns server [18:24] How can I change my VirtualBox resolution to 1366x768? [18:24] 64 bytes from 4.2.2.2: icmp_seq=2 ttl=247 time=11.7 ms [18:24] Ben64: but pinging an external ip address does not check his dns settings ? [18:24] well it checks connection [18:24] which seems to be down [18:24] Dacvak: What do you need? [18:24] gsedej: How can I change my VirtualBox resolution to 1366x768? [18:24] Ben64: very true [18:25] apt-give: what version of ubuntu ? [18:25] Dacvak: #vbox [18:25] Thanks [18:25] syntac: try setting a static ip on it [18:25] ikonia: 8.04 [18:25] syntac: no - don't [18:25] syntac: forcing an static IP can cause more problems [18:25] Ben64: i am trying to do static. the dynamic ip assignment does work [18:25] Does someone uses Jack audio here? [18:25] ikonia: i think that is my issue. dhcp works but static doesn't. i would like static though [18:25] i'm on a static ip right now, works fine : / [18:26] Ben64: ooh, I didn't realise you knew what his hardware was, and how it worked, sorry [18:26] Ben64: I figured it out on my own, all I had to do was open terminal and type smbmount //server-ip/share-name /mount-point-on-laptop and then it prompts for my password, and after entering my password I now have full access to my samba shares on my laptop, eurika!! [18:26] witam [18:26] syntac: assigning a static IP out of a reserved pool on a lot of home routers will cause a lot of problems [18:26] ikonia: i don't really, but static ips never hurt anyone [18:26] co tam słychac u was? [18:26] Ben64: yes they do [18:26] Ben64: a lot of home routers don't like it, or won't allow machines on they don't have a lease for [18:26] neodragon: cool, gj [18:27] ikonia: it isn't out of the reserved ones. it is 192.168.1.2. i've had it work before but i am guessing my conf is wrong. i can't figure out where it is though (the problem) [18:27] how do I gather information on my DVD drive from dmesg [18:27] syntac: what router? [18:27] Ben64: linksys [18:27] syntac: then if it's not in the reserved pool, you may be on the wrong network [18:27] agoole: What information? [18:27] syntac: why do you want a static IP ? [18:27] I am back [18:27] still not work [18:27] syntac: what is the address in your /etc/resolv.conf [18:27] ing [18:27] ikonia: i'm using it as a server on my network. i don't want random ip assignments on it [18:27] KB1JWQ: anything my system registers from the dvd drive basically, I can't burn anything, so I'm trying to troubleshoot, [18:28] KB1JWQ: though i'll be honest, I dont really know where to start [18:28] i'm assinging 192.168.1.2 to it [18:28] @_@ [18:28] router ip is 192.168.1.1? [18:28] Ben64: Now all I have to do is write a bash script for mounting all my shares at once for when I am connected to my wireless. [18:28] syntac: what is the address range your router has [18:28] ikonia: i can ssh to the box from other computers in my network [18:28] agoole: I don't think dmesg would necessarily be the FIRST choice, but it's not a bad one. What's the error behavior? [18:28] i just can't go outside the network [18:28] ikonia: 192.168.1.1 [18:28] syntac: yes, of course you can, your router is possibley blocking you because you've taken an address out of the address pool [18:28] syntac: Sure the default gateway is correct? [18:29] syntac: that's not an address pool - that's a single address [18:29] syntac: your router probably has at least 192.168.1.0/24 [18:29] ikonia: i'm almost positive the adress pool is 192.168.1.100+ [18:29] ikonia: linksys usually gives out starting at 100 [18:29] yeah what he said [18:29] syntac: so it starts at 100 [18:29] KB1JWQ: growisofs simply craps out with a IO error in k3b, can't burn anything [18:29] ikonia: Yeah, they have the /24, with 100 and up allocated for static assignment. [18:29] hey guys I have an issue I havent been able to sort out via searching as of yet. ipod continually get i/o error when installing files. this has been a well documented bug but im not seeing any solutions. apparently its the usb2.0 controller. any way I can make it think its usb1.1 just for my ipod? [18:29] KB1JWQ: Ben64 ta [18:29] syntac: make sure default gateway is correct, as KB1JWQ said [18:29] KB1JWQ: want a paste of the full error code ? [18:30] agoole: Can you read from the drive? [18:30] agoole: That'd help. [18:30] catch ya later all :) [18:31] I've never seen an off the shelf Linksys deny outbound connections to the outside world because you've statically assigned an IP, even if that IP is within its dhcp scope. [18:31] KB1JWQ: I've seen a few devices do it [18:31] ikonia: Consumer grade? [18:31] hi how can i compile source code [18:31] i have two linksys's here, but they have dd-wrt on em [18:31] KB1JWQ: dissapointingly yes [18:31] !compile > adasz [18:31] adasz, please see my private message [18:32] KB1JWQ: http://paste.ubuntu.com/254133/ [18:32] ikonia: Ouch. That's kind of asking to get hurt. :) [18:32] quit [18:33] hi, anyone is using c++ with wxWidgets in ubuntu? I installed libwxgtk2.4.1 and libwxgtk2.4-dev and wx2.4-headers, and yet gcc fails to compile and complains about wx/wx.h not found [18:33] agoole: Hmm. Is growisofs really what it wants to be calling? I'm probably not the right person to ask; I don't burn disks from within Ubuntu very often. [18:33] kane77: see if it's on the system [18:33] growisofs is a backend to a lot of linux burners [18:34] Ben64: Thanks, didn't know that. [18:34] hi [18:34] back on rh9, i had to install it myself [18:34] rh9 came out before dvd's existed -.- [18:34] Ben64: can you take a look at my error code ? [18:34] What is good GUITAR EFFECTS program for Ubuntu? [18:35] gsedej: there really isn't [18:35] ikonia, yes, it is there (in /usr/include/wx) [18:35] agoole: i did, but it's hard to tell what the problem is. On first look, seems like there could be a problem with the burner itself [18:35] kane77: check your include path for your build then [18:35] but if you can use it on another system, then it gets more complicated [18:35] gsedej, rakarrack [18:35] Ben64: its a laptop burner, and it can read tracks, but can't seem to burn [18:36] hey everyone, i was wondering if anyone was familar with linuxdc++? [18:36] ikonia, is there a command to update default include path after adding header files? [18:36] kane77: it's normally set at compile time or in the makefile -I [18:37] when you're at a terminal, inside /home/username/foo/bar, and you want to move from /bar to /foo (i.e one dir up) without having to type the whole path in, whats the command? [18:37] CoRnJuLiOx: cd .. [18:37] Ben64: thanks [18:38] exit [18:39] CoRnJuLiOx: also remember: .. means "the parent folder" everywhere -- not just in cd. [18:39] grawity: thanks [18:39] yo yo yo [18:39] kane77: try inserting the output of wx-config --cppflags --libs into your g++ commandline [18:39] hey guys I have an issue I havent been able to sort out via searching as of yet. ipod continually get i/o error when installing files. this has been a well documented bug but im not seeing any solutions. apparently its the usb2.0 controller. any way I can make it think its usb1.1 just for my ipod? I'm an ubuntu only guy and would hate to have to install some crappy m$ product to get my ipod working [18:39] Hi :) [18:40] opensaurus; could not use a crappy ipod instead ;) [18:40] kane77: as in g++ -o myprog $(wx-config --cppflags --libs) myprog.cpp [18:40] I want to install libxcb1-dev but I get brocken package error (http://paste.ubuntu.com/254134/). everything installed packages is up to date. how can I overcome this problem? [18:41] opensaurus: you could rmmod the usb modules then re-modprobe with some options to make it usb 1.1 [18:41] Hey. I havent found any programs that can tell you what bitrate a song is(.mp3) is there a simple way in ubuntu ? [18:41] ActionParsnip, too late for that. its an ipod photo from like 6 years ago i got from my sister [18:42] ActionParsnip, well cool at least i know its possible then [18:42] the source that i want to compile have no configure [18:42] Hey guys, I want to remove Ubuntu from my laptop, but it's a dual boot with Vista and GRUB is the bootloader. The Ubuntu is installed on a ReiserFS5 partition, how do I go about this? [18:42] promille: i think if you run: apt-cache search mp3 | grep -i tag then one of the tag apps may be able to tell you [18:42] ActionParsnip: thanks [18:42] how do i automatically downgrade every package after removing the repository where they were installed from? [18:43] opensaurus: should be. not done it myself. i dont use usb for external storage [18:43] adasz: what are you trying to compile? [18:43] Promille: mplayer will tell you [18:43] hbekel, thanks === vic is now known as Guest74086 [18:44] un|matrix: [18:44] un|matrix: you would have to uninstall every package you installed from it. then temove. then install again using the remaining repos [18:44] un|matrix: what did you do? [18:44] i can't do that, it wants to remove half of my system due to deps [18:44] Anyone? [18:44] kane77: most packages use pkg-config instead of a dedicated *-config binary btw [18:45] di||itanite: i "updated" pulseaudio with this repository: https://launchpad.net/~themuso/+archive/ppa [18:45] how do I purge a package that i've already removed? [18:45] un|matrix: the sysyem isnt really designed to have bits downgraded so it can get very messy [18:45] you don't [18:45] tsrk_: sudo dpkg -P [18:45] does anyone know anything about linucdc++? [18:45] hbekel, I'm starting with c++ so I don't know a lot of stuff [18:45] un|matrix: have you tried uninstalling just pulsaudio [18:46] ActionParsnip, dpkg - warning: ignoring request to remove jaolt which isn't installed. [18:46] di||itante: gonna try that now [18:47] tsrk_, install the package again then purge it perhaps [18:47] dakamm: I don't, what is it? and what is your problem? [18:47] IdleOne, is that really the best way? [18:47] tsrk_, don't know if it is but makes sense to me [18:47] tsrk_: if it doesnt show up in: dpkg -l | grep jaolt then you will need to reinstall it then run: sudo apt-get --purge remove jaolt [18:48] tsrk_, guess it is the best way yup [18:48] I still cant run a sh file at startup :( [18:48] Hey, I have a socks proxy [via ssh] that I want to share via some open proxy [such as tinyproxy] anyone know how to? [18:48] zelrikriando: what's the error message [18:48] gun.. well when i log onto linuxdc++ it asks me to put in a address and i dont what address to put in [18:48] tsrk_: if there is no output with the dpkg then the old config is gone (except in $home [18:48] and its a file sharing program [18:48] ActionParsnip, IdleOne, ok, i'll do that, thank you [18:48] like dc++ [18:48] hbekel: there is no error message, the gmote server just wont start === JP is now known as Guest29888 [18:49] vasile, are you using the official repos? if yes, try cleaning /var/cache/apt/archives and /var/cache/apt/archives/partial. Synaptics can do it [18:49] zelrikriando: checked the relevant logs? [18:49] di||itante, ActionParsnip: looks like i'm going to have to downgrade everything manually starting with packages that have no dependencies, and then moving inwards the dependency tree [18:49] hbekel: I dont know where the logs are [18:49] *repeat* I want to remove Ubuntu from my laptop, but it's a dual boot with Vista and GRUB is the bootloader. The Ubuntu is installed on a ReiserFS5 partition, how do I go about this? (Sorry for repeat) [18:49] un|matrix: tread carefully [18:50] un|matrix: what did apt-get tell you when you tried to remove pulsaudio [18:50] zelrikriando: less /var/log/Xorg.0.log and less ~/.xsession-errors for example [18:50] rafaelscj, official repos, archives cleaned, i found the solution here: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1220447.html [18:50] mraedis: delete the ubunt partition. you will need your vista cd to reinstate ntldr [18:50] Mraedis: I guess something like this: 1) Boot from the Windows install CD, open recovery console, use bootrec /fixmbr (to rewrite the MBR). [18:50] zelrikriando: the program might provide a logfile of it's own as well [18:50] ActionParsnip: Vista doesn't use ntldr anymore. [18:50] dakamm: I don't know dc++ either, but you know that anything that relates to any kind of piracy is not supported here, and what address you should put in your client: ask the people who manage the server/net [18:50] Aw man [18:50] Mraedis: 2) Confirm that you can boot Vista without going through grub. [18:50] mraedis: ask in ##windows for how to reinstate the windows bootloader [18:50] di||itante: well synaptic wants to remove everything that depends on those packages, so i'm assuming apt-get would want the same [18:51] hbekel: Could not find the main class: org.gmote.server.GmoteServerUiLinux. Program will exit. [18:51] Mraedis: And finally 3) boot from an Ubuntu LiveCD, open partition editor, nuke the ReiserFS partition. [18:51] aight, thnx for the help anyway gun [18:51] un|matrix: ok, so what, what will it remove that you cant replace later [18:51] grawity: thats how little i know desktop windows. [18:51] Has anybody managed to get flashplugin working for Chromium on Ubuntu 9.10? [18:51] !karmic | vesayth [18:51] vesayth: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [18:51] Thanks grawity and ActionParsnip, now to find a CD because it came pre-installed... [18:52] hbekel: do you need more details? [18:52] zelrikriando: so it's seems to get started, but isn't properly configured [18:52] Mraedis: There should be at least the "recovery" CD, then. [18:52] vesayth: a while back, just smbolic link to libflashplayer.so in the chromium plugin folder [18:52] hbekel: it does start once booted [18:52] Wherever that one is, grawity ;-) [18:52] zelrikriando: i have no idea what that program does, so i don't know [18:52] zelrikriando: you might want to consult the docs/google the error message [18:52] hbekel: it's a gmote server, to use my phone as a remote on my computer [18:53] ActionParsnip: Yeah that stopped working in Jaunty I belive. I've copied the file as well as made the symbolic link in Karmic and it's been no go.

[19:36] Dacvak, step 2 wants you to run this command dd if=/dev/hda of=/mbr.bin bs=512 count=1 in a terminal [19:36] I tried that.

[19:41] guntbert: what should i do :) [19:41] Like, can I reduce the size of the Ubuntu partition?

Croatian language support in #ubuntu-hr [21:00] bluegoon: I read before about some sort of fix for the Intel graphics card issues in Ubuntu 9.10 released at the end of October [21:00] tdn: that looks correct. Here is what rpcinfo should show http://pastebin.com/m9c42bc0 [21:00] sebsebseb, oh sweet. [21:00] arleslie: try this in terminal "ps aux | grep compiz" [21:00] sebsebseb, intending to stick to ubuntu on my notebook, so that will def spice things up. [21:00] arleslie: if you get anything it means it is running [21:01] bluegoon: Which version are you currently using? [21:01] sebsebseb, of ubuntu? 9.04 [21:01] tdn: try rpcinfo -p localhost on the *server* next...

[21:02] How much bandwidth does #ubuntu use per hour? [21:03] losher, correct. [21:03] tonii: yup.. I think there are several indeed [21:03] losher, No remote programs registered. [21:03] !gstreamer [21:03] Sorry, I don't know anything about gstreamer [21:03] Slart: you know any of the names? ^_^ [21:03] I am using a new keyboard, and using xev to map special keys, but one of the keys does not generate any output in xev, is this a driver problem or any ideas on how to fix it? [21:03] tdn: ok, so you have a problem mapping syrah into the ip address of the server. Can you even ping syrah from the client? [21:03] losher, losher for some reason syrah resolves to 127.0.1.1 while localhost resolves to 127.0.0.1. [21:04] losher, yes. [21:04] anybody has google-chrome-unstable (3.0.198.1-r23116) working with flash on 64 bit natively ?

[21:05] 10.0.0.50 [21:05] theboi: what's a vps? sudo apt-get install mono ? [21:05] virtual private server [21:05] shell access ubunto server [21:05] tonii: the is one screenlet that I use myself..on the right in this screenshot... it says DL 0 kb and UL 0kb it's called NetMonitor [21:05] tdn: try rcpinfo -p 10.0.0.50 next.... [21:05] theboi: yeah I was thinking something like that [21:05] is there a way to monitor data usage on Ubuntu?\ [21:05] theboi: why do you want MOno? [21:05] to run opensim [21:05] Slart: thanks :) [21:06] it requires mono and nat [21:06] tonii: then there's conky and such.. [21:06] both of which are installed [21:06] hmm is the correct way to add things to the library path by adding a link in /usr/lib that points to a dynamic library in /usr/local/lib? [21:06] however i need to update it to 2.4 [21:06] Slart: just want something simple :) [21:06] bluegoon, I like gkrellm, but I think there are probably more "ubuntu" style ways of doing it [21:06] bluegoon: what kind of data? === geo_ is now known as geo05 [21:06] losher, from server: sensible output, from client: program not reg... [21:06] i currently have mono 1.9.1 [21:07] noobli: that's a good way to do it. check it by doing ldd [21:07] hbekel, i have a data cap on my phone, just want to see how much I use on average [21:07] noobli: no [21:07] can anyone say what's wrong here http://paste.debian.net/44379/ [21:07] losher: ldd? [21:07] tdn: is there a firewall on the server that might be blocking nfs requests from the client? [21:08] noobli: man ldd [21:08] noobli: the correct way is to add /usr/local/lib to your /etc/ld.so.conf and run ldconfig [21:08] In Gnome-do, in the preferences dialog, I can't seem to select any plugins. They automatically uncheck themselves. [21:08] losher, no. All is ACCEPT. [21:08] losher, both on client and on server. [21:08] [21:08] bluegoon have you tried system monitor [21:08] sergiumihai: what is your problem? [21:08] noobli: or install it in /usr/lib in the first place [21:09] guys.. which ePub reader to use on Ubuntu ? [21:09] hbekel: okay. what am i supposed to do with /etc/ld.so.conf? [21:09] tonii: conky can be simple... but try the screenlets if you like the look [21:09] noobli: or just plant a link, like we said in the first place. Much simpler.... [21:09] jcmarini, aaaah lol [21:09] guntbert, the interface don't start up.. [21:09] SandGorgon: ePub? what is that? [21:09] noobli: i told you already [21:09] cheers [21:09] guntbert, eth0 [21:10] hbekel, my /etc/ld.so.conf already contains /usr/lib that should be enough? [21:10] sergiumihai: what does ifconfig eth0 say? [21:10] noobli: i thought you were talking about /usr/local/lib? [21:10] tdn: then I'm stuck. Can other clients see the nfs server? That way at least you'd know the problem was on your client...

[21:21] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1241911 [21:21] andyzammy: seems your user has no write permissions [21:22] tdn: I think it's got to be something like that, since you can ping, but not do nfs, and nfs runs over udp, so presumably it's not a connectivity issue, so it must be permissions...

[21:56] andresj__: but it does not come up ? not even grub ?

[22:23] can i make it so mount makes a directory based on the usb drive's label? [22:23] spo: yep, or you can run: sudo fdisk -l to see the partition name then manually mount it [22:24] how do you use mount to make a directory based on the disk's label?

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 [23:36] mrgenericuser: I just need to reboot, brb [23:37] now I can't tell whether I did install the amd64 version === McPeter_ is now known as McPeter [23:37] GuidMorrow: check uname -m [23:37] jonah1980: set the res in xorg.conf. if you use nvidia then use nvidia-settings to flash out the file then tweak [23:37] jonah1980, a quick thing you might try is go to System, Prefrences, Display [23:38] lstarnes: it printed: x86-64 [23:38] GuidMorrow: that is the amd64 version [23:39] I am dual-booting Ubuntu and Vista, and have a problem with Vista where I need it to be the boot manager for a little. Is there a way to change the MBR to the Vista partition instead of the Grub partition? [23:39] jonah1980 if not find xorg.conf examples and copy bits until you get a nice display [23:39] waffle: you will need to install the vista bootloader [23:39] i'm not sure, what about the system performance? doesn't the CPU heat up more? and what about load? [23:40] ActionParsnip: I've tried adding them in xorg.conf but when i restart x it's just back in the same res and no other are available in settings [23:40] waffle for dual boot a linux based boot manager is advised as it can easily manager booting botb [23:40] Waffle: tried that but it only shows the wrong res and no others, even if i put them in xorg [23:40] * GuidMorrow . o O ? [23:41] is the ubuntu release the same as it was a year ago? IE, no kernels have been updated or anything like that for jaunty? === john is now known as Guest22116 [23:41] back [23:41] I cant see any "device0" in the xorg.conf? [23:41] ah, hold on [23:41] found it [23:42] Section "Device" [23:42] Identifier "Device0" [23:42] Driver "nvidia" [23:42] VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation" [23:42] BoardName "GeForce 9400M G" [23:42] Untouchab1e: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:42] i just find it strange that you used to be able to put custom resolutions in to xorg but that functionality has no gone, so if it doesn't detect it right then you can't fix it [23:42] oobs, sorry [23:42] Hey, how do I mount my Ubuntu hard drive partition using a LiveCD? [23:42] so yeah, device0 says "GeForce 9400M G" [23:42] ActionParsnip, I installed Vista first then Ubuntu, it works great. I have a problem with Vista and as far as I can tell the only way to fix it is by using Vistas boot manager. I'm not sure how Grub works but I thought it was something like this: MBR-Grub-Vista Boot Manger, and if i could change the MBR over to Vista just for a few minutes, then I could set it back to Grub and not have to worry about messing anything up. [23:43] Dacvak: mkdir /mnt/ubuntu && mount -t ext3 /dev/sdxx /mnt/ubuntu [23:43] Thanks [23:43] Dacvak: where sdxx is to be replaced with trhe correct one of course [23:43] I'm not sure what that should actually be. [23:44] How do I find that out? [23:44] but lspci | grep VGA shows both cards [23:44] so how to disable the 9400m card? [23:44] ok... So I have ubuntu installed via wubi. I was trying to use wine to run a game that was already installed in windows, so I symlinked the /host directory (which contains the C drive) to ~/.wine/drive_c. now windows will not boot even under safe mode. Is it possible that me symlinking that is what caused it? Also know that the last time I used windows before this, it bluescreened, so I'm trying to figure out what is causing this [23:44] why do you want to disable your video card? [23:45] Ben64: Because I have a Dell Studio XPS 13 with a hybrid-SLI graphics solution with a GeForce 9200m + 9400m [23:45] untouchable, try changing the settings for the 9400 to the 9200 using the pci bus id for it in lspci [23:45] ohh [23:45] mrgenericuser: Ok... lets see.. [23:45] Ben64: and I want to disable the 9400m card cuz I dont need it in Linux.. [23:45] i thought you saw 2 "cards" but one of them was just the video out [23:46] mrgenericuser: So I just change 9400 to 9200 in xorg.conf? [23:46] the bus id, not just the name, name doesn't matter [23:46] How do I figure out what this part is? "/etc/sdXX"? [23:46] Device0 doesnt show any bus ID [23:46] 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV40 [GeForce 6800] (rev a1) [23:46] The XX's [23:46] so it'd be 01:00.0 for me [23:46] just Identifier, Driver, VendorName, and BoardName [23:46] lspci should show it [23:46] which value do I change? [23:47] ok... So I have ubuntu installed via wubi. I was trying to use wine to run a game that was already installed in windows, so I symlinked the /host directory (which contains the C drive) to ~/.wine/drive_c. now windows will not boot even under safe mode. Is it possible that me symlinking that is what caused it? Also know that the last time I used windows before this, it bluescreened, so I'm trying to figure out what is causing this [23:47] lspci | grep VGA shows: [23:47] Section "Device" [23:47] Identifier "Device0" [23:47] Driver "nvidia" [23:47] VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation" [23:47] BoardName "GeForce 9400M G" [23:47] Untouchab1e: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:47] arg, wrong.. [23:47] le sigh [23:47] 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GeForce 9200M GS (rev a1) [23:47] 03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GeForce 9400M G (rev b1) [23:47] Busid "PCI:1:0:0" [23:48] add that after boardname, but change the busid to yours [23:48] but where do I specify the BusID then? [23:48] untouchable, yes but you shoud see some thing like BusID "PCI:3:0:0" in that section, change to show BusID "PCI:2:0:0" or add it. [23:48] cant find the phrase "BusID" in the xorg.conf file at all [23:48] you can add it [23:48] !nvidia [23:48] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [23:49] just add it into that Section "Device" [23:49] so I just add a new line under "device0" and name it "busid"? [23:49] why is this "downloading and installing driver" box stuck at 0%?! [23:49] Busid [23:49] excactly as i showed it.... yes [23:49] sometimes case matters [23:49] Hey, how can I mount my root partition? It should be: sudo mkdir /mnt/ubuntu && mount -t ext3 /dev/sda1 /mnt/ubuntu, but I got an error "only root can do that" [23:49] Busid "PCI:2:0.0" [23:49] yes [23:50] maybe change the . to : [23:50] When I boot my ubuntu install CD my screen goes blank after starting X - splash shows, then it dies. How to force a specific resolution? [23:50] you said BusID and Ben64 says Busid [23:50] yah -- BusID "PCI:2:0:0" [23:50] lspci shows mine as 01:00.0 but my xorg.conf shows it as 1:0:0 [23:50] BusID "PCI:2:0:0" [23:50] yes [23:50] color test [23:51] ok, and I just put this under device0, right? I dont add a device1 section? [23:51] that is correct captialization [23:51] yes [23:51] Dacvak, not entirely sure, but wouldn't you also need sudo in front of mount? [23:51] ok.. [23:51] What can happen when I reboot now then? :P [23:51] again, i'm a newb, but guessin [23:51] g [23:51] I had it there [23:51] see what that does, if it breaks, just put # in front and restart to reset [23:51] oh [23:51] I mean, if things dont work [23:51] ok... So I have ubuntu installed via wubi. I was trying to use wine to run a game that was already installed in windows, so I symlinked the /host directory (which contains the C drive) to ~/.wine/drive_c. now windows will not boot even under safe mode. Is it possible that me symlinking that is what caused it? Also know that the last time I used windows before this, it bluescreened, so I'm trying to figure out what is causing this [23:51] ah ok [23:51] Kittykis: I'm on LiveCD and need to recover my backed up GRUB. [23:51] I guess if things go haywire I can still access the terminal [23:52] yeah i wouldn't know then, sorry [23:52] hi all [23:52] ok, xorg.conf file saved, rebooting now.. [23:52] hi ppl [23:52] thanks for the help so far.. really appreciate it [23:53] hello? [23:53] wtf is this? [23:53] oh great, the jockey backend just crashes! [23:53] lol [23:54] toejam, watch the language [23:54] how am I supposed to install nvidia with this kind of behavior [23:54] wat i say?????? [23:54] toejam, this is ubuntu support; do you have a support question? [23:54] ohh no === desti_T2 is now known as desti [23:55] ........................................................................................................................................................................................... [23:55] some ine say something [23:56] toejam, chat in #ubuntu-offtopic NOT here [23:56] how [23:56] :/ [23:56] hello, i need the proprietary drivers for nvidia [23:56] or my pc will be blocked [23:56] toejam, /join #ubuntu-offtopic [23:56] /join #ubuntu-offtopic [23:56] fasttt [23:56] bah [23:57] I can't open the "Hardware Drivers"! [23:57] hello, i need the proprietary drivers for nvidia bazhang [23:57] riccardo: if you are using Ubuntu 9.04, just check System --> Admin --> hardware drivers [23:57] riccardo, go to hardware drivers in system administration [23:57] i kno [23:57] there's nothing [23:58] in 8.04 was simple [23:58] Then download the drivers from nvidia directly then [23:58] packet? [23:58] Hmm.. what video card was this? [23:58] Untouchab1e: no, you should be getting them from the repo, not nvidia [23:58] gts [23:58] Bodsda: ah, ok [23:58] forget I said it then :P [23:58] a little more info then 'gts' [23:58] riccardo, please tell us the exact card [23:59] it could be any one of 4 packages depending on the age of the card
