[00:00] Giddorah: I think you edit the grub menu to noacpi... [00:00] in the bios [00:00] realityiswhere: Good idea! [00:00] !root [00:00] 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 [00:00] Loving the reference lol [00:00] thiebaude: I couldn't find it in my bios tho :( [00:00] Giddorah: Yes, edit the boot line right after the Kubuntu screen comes up for the live cd.

[00:01] edbian: i think this site will convert pub to pdf. http://convert.neevia.com/ [00:01] Flare183: Then press enter, and it should still go into live? [00:01] Giddorah: I'm pretty sure, yes.

[00:03] edbian: yes that's one definition, but my computer flashed a message to log out of "ISP mode" [00:03] mdg: MMmm. Never heard of it. Is it part of the bios? [00:04] edbian: ??? I've never seen this before either... [00:04] http://paste.ubuntu.com/254792/ how can I make, so it will also boot from NTFS partition? [00:05] nosek, you want to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and put your windows at the top of the list. but please be careful, editing that file can make your system unbootable. ( make a backup of menu.lst) [00:05] ohhhh also [00:05] hi anyone help me with flash?

I'm curious how well if all they work with Ubuntu and how well they handle PDFs. Or any other good e-book readers for Ubuntu for that matter... [00:32] koolkat: LVM is a partitioning scheme, not a filesystem format [00:32] LVM is like BSD slices? [00:32] lstarnes: what does that mean? [00:32] lstarnes, koolkat: Yea, that's it. [00:32] poutine: somewhat [00:33] koolkat: it's used for managing partitions [00:33] majuk: is better than regular filesystem formatting? [00:33] it just puts the block limits and partition table in the care of the OS rather than the disk's partition table eh [00:33] koolkat: The formatting is used on top of LVM.

[00:47] majuk: nice, i didn't realize swap mattered that much, I thought i had enough memory [00:48] hell I'll do it later this shouldn't need rebooting tonight [00:48] xenoterracide_: if you enable ufw you can put iptables restore syntax in /etc/ufw/before.rules [00:48] xenoterracide_: or just use ufw [00:48] xenoterracide_: its a ipfw-like wrapper for iptables [00:48] <^Phantom^> ubuntu shows it as Primax USB Scanner... [00:48] mib_mib: You're welcome. :) [00:49] mib_mib: in order for swap to be mounted automatically you need an entry in the /etc/fstab file. if you dont have one [00:49] legend2440: okay i should check that out [00:49] like: which version of ubuntu are you using? [00:49] mib_mib: in terminal gksudo gedit /etc/fstab [00:49] mib_mib: Oh, yea, don't forget to add it to fstab. swapon just adds it immediately to the swap pool. [00:50] Hello. Trying to help somebody with Ubuntu on MSN. How can I tell him to open a console? [00:50] Cause I don't know the menu structures or shortcut by heart and don't have access to Ubuntu atm.

[00:53] spo: that is really not a good idea [00:53] Pseudo_Bob: then the driver is there :-) [00:53] Hedoes: i like 'gedit' [00:54] Pseudo_Bob: its a configuration issue..

[00:56] biovore: Should I just crank 'em all for good measure? [00:56] Pseudo_Bob: make sure there isn't a MM on the bottom.. (thats muted) [00:56] skrite: to do bzr, youd install it then do "bzr init; bzr add" then any time you want to make a "checkpoint" type "bzr commit" and itll ask you for a commit message...thatd be like "just changed setting for ___" so you can know what youre going back to [00:56] Pseudo_Bob: yup.. I would start a mp3 or something.. and just mess with it untill it works.. [00:57] legend2440: ah it doesn't! i guess i need to replace the one in the fstab with the new one. Thanks! [00:57] biovore: Sounds good. Thanks :) [00:57] ok, cool [00:57] skrite: "bzr init; bzr add" will initialize in your current directory and recursively add everything under it [00:57] I am putting in a CD-ROM and I get this error message: mount: block device /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only [00:57] mount: /dev/sr0: can't read superblock [00:57] so i guess i need a free bzr host [00:57] thanks MsMaco [00:57] skrite: launchpad is one [00:57] RPG_Master: need to be root to read that [00:57] mib_mib: yes change the one in fstab so it matches. thats why it didnt auto mount and you had to type swapon command [00:57] oh cool [00:58] skrite: though im not sure you want to put all your personal files up there... === Strife1989 is now known as Strife89 [00:58] ayahuasca: I tried that, didn't work [00:58] I need help with my ipod touch 2nd gen.

[01:00] i tried eclipse -vm /usr/bin/java but GCJ is still picked as the virtual machine [01:01] DarkMage27: obviosuly get the program from the repo or a ppa, and install in other ways if you can't do it that way [01:01] cremaster: I just did that last night, I could probably help [01:01] cremaster: /usr/libexec/alternitives/ I belive [01:01] i dual boot Ubuntu/Vista and I wrote file to the vista partition, and it turns out that Vista was in hibernation and now the files no longer show, and suggestions?

[01:03] sebsebseb, does ubuntu have an ntfs fs check? [01:03] sebsebseb, i am working from ubuntu tho :P [01:03] cremaster: try running 'sudo update-java-alternatives -l' then 'sudo update-java-alternatives {java-version}' [01:03] MK13: linux dosent really have tools to do a proper ntfs fileshstem check/fix. best to use windows for that [01:03] I'll be back in a second, switching to XFCE [01:03] I'm having trouble removing the 'timidity' package. [01:04] /whois james_ [01:04] Dr_Willis, k, thnx [01:04] whoops [01:04] MK13: its best to reboot to windows.. shutdown windows and DONT use hibernate/suspend from windows. [01:05] I get "Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should reinstall it before attempting a removal." [01:05] One of the many reasons i dont use hibernate/suspend under any os. :(0 [01:05] But I also can't reinstll it. === AllUnderHeaven is now known as MidsummerDawn [01:05] Dr_Willis: lame he disappeard on us [01:06] mib_mib: one more thing to check. in terminal type gksudo gedit /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume and make sure the uuid in there matches the swap uuid. if it doesnt the progress bar will not work [01:08] uninverted: you can try editing /var/lib/dpkg/status and remove the timidity paragraph. Then dpkg should forget all about it. Then reinstall it, then (finally) remove it... Make sure you backup a copy of the file before you edit it [01:08] mib_mib: if you do have to edit the resume file. then in terminal type sudo update-initramfs -u so change takes effect [01:09] I'm trying to put the Netbook Remix image on a flash drive, but imagewriter keeps hosing my partition table. How can I write the image manually? [01:10] does the memtest on the grub menu just keep going. do I have to manually stop it?

[01:18] sebsebseb: Do you know how to do this manually? I can use dd to copy the image across, but somehow I've got to do something with the MBR, right? [01:18] mssever: no I don't [01:19] Why, oh why, isn't the Netbook Remix available as an ISO, like all sensible distros? It's easy to write ISOs to whatever media I want.

[01:23] yes [01:23] GsUs: using the ethernet port.. not the USB.. [01:23] external modem u mean [01:23] yes [01:24] yes [01:24] biovore: It should work.. just need a working nic card on your computer.. the box works via dhcp..

My problem is that the only tool I have to write an IMG is broken, so IMG files are worthless to me [01:29] DarkMage, try /media [01:30] before i do a clean install === bruno is now known as Guest20017 [01:30] mssever: for the ubuntu netbook remix? you cant do that..its over 700mb in size [01:30] Dr_Willis: I would, but she lives west coast, and I am east coast [01:30] danl: try the super grub disk.. or ask in windows [01:30] ok, thanks [01:31] [01:31] Hello.

[01:37] [t0rc]: Doesn't return anything. [01:37] MySecondChoiceIS: Firefox can work just fine [01:37] MySecondChoiceIS: and perhaps some others i overlooked :) [01:37] mssever, ` crunchbang is definitly trimmed down [01:38] <[t0rc]> Pseudo_Bob, indeed. No drivers loaded then. [01:38] hellooo [01:38] I've just upgraded an ubuntu installation from dappter to jaunty, and the primary disk (/dev/sda) has been partitioned using extended partitions. It contains /dev/sda1, which has sda5 and sda6 inside of it. I need to know how to tell grub to boot from that. At the moment I have "root hd(0,4)" and "root = /dev/sda5" in the boot parameters, but it drops to a busybox shell. I've also tried swapping it to hd(0,0) and root=/dev/sda1 and sda6, but it doesn [01:38] t seem to work. [01:38] <[t0rc]> Pseudo_Bob, an easy way to install drivers for Ubuntu for nvidia or ATi is to install Envy [01:38] mssever, http://crunchbanglinux.org/ [01:38] No firfox sucks just fine [01:38] its incredibly slow [01:38] i provide help desk for windows and mac , any body know someway to provide ubuntu sopport?

[01:39] why is that? [01:39] MySecondChoiceIS: thats debateable.. but go try the others if you want. Opera, chrome, or some other FF variant. [01:39] mssever, crunchbang is an iso or a .img I used the .iso here [01:39] like crossloop or teamviewer [01:39] MySecondChoiceIS: i find my linux system MUCH faster then windows. [01:39] MySecondChoiceIS: Look how to install chromium-browser from ppa [01:39] [t0rc]: Alright. Well, I tried getting downloading the driver on the ATI site, but for some reason you can only download the 64 bit version. [01:39] coz_: I've heard of crunchbang, but I'm not a fan of their environment. Though perhaps I shold look at it and install what I want on top of that base [01:39] without fowarding any port ! [01:39] Google has their own repos for the linux chrome browser now. [01:39] MySecondChoiceIS: haha Linux crushes Winblows anyday [01:39] Hey I just started using Ubuntu today and I'm having a bit of issues with the terminal and with sound. Could some one possibly help me out with these? [01:39] mssever, however if you are planning to also run compiz you cant use crunchbang [01:39] gabangie: I work at a technology firm, we use bomgar because you can remote into mac, linux, or windows PCs [01:39] comrade_tuttle: Explain. [01:39] comrade_tuttle: What is your problem so everyone can see [01:39] gabangie: without forwarding ports, or any of that bs [01:39] coz_: I definitely want compiz, if my netbook can handle it [01:40] <[t0rc]> Pseudo_Bob, you can find it in Synaptic or install via: sudo apt-get install envyng-core [01:40] mssever, I like both openbox and fluxbox so this wasnt difficult to get used to other than no compiz [01:40] trevorj, great , is it fast? [01:40] coz_: for me, compiz is a great usability enhancement [01:40] gabangie: is your internet connection fast? [01:40] mssever, well even ubuntu UNR suggests turning off compiz because of possible conflict with clutter [01:40] comrade_tuttle: type "alasmixer" in the terminal [01:40] Sound will only work with media files, not on any program or web, and with the terminal when i try to change directory it says that the folder/file doesn't exists [01:40] <[t0rc]> Pseudo_Bob, that should give you a driver that matches your architecture - it might not be the most up to date version as ATi's site but should at least be 32 bit to match your system [01:40] yes [01:40] coz_: clutter is the UNR desktop? [01:40] gabangie: then ye [01:40] <^Phantom^> how many pixels x pixels is 2400dpi? [01:40] i own isp [01:40] gabangie: s [01:40] mssever, ubuntu UNR has its own slight animations [01:40] use the arrow keys to move left/right and up/down to adjust settings [01:41] UNR 's special interface and compiz does not play well together. [01:41] [t0rc]: Alright, it's downloading. You're the person who's been able to suggest anything :O [01:41] ^Phantom^: dpi != resolution [01:41] but i disalbe that UNR special interface anyway [01:41] comrade_tuttle: Here's the thing with the terminal, there is no spaces. You have to use it like this: file\ name [01:41] mssever, no clutter are the libraries used to handle the gui and movements although not taken to full capability for sure [01:41] alasmixer: command not found [01:41] comrade_tuttle: sudo apt-get install alsamixer [01:41] <[t0rc]> Pseudo_Bob, heh, I'm sure many in here could help. :) [01:41] any ideas why I lose compizfusion. I get it all set up and working, and about 20min later its disabled. [01:41] comrade_tuttle: spell it correctly [01:41] trevorj, do i have to buy the product? [01:41] gabangie: yes [01:41] hi [01:41] oops alsamixer [01:41] [t0rc]: lsmod | grep fglrx still doesn't return anything. [01:41] or is it for free? [01:41] gabangie: nope, not free. [01:41] detrix: It crashed on ya. [01:42] gabangie: but it works. [01:42] <[t0rc]> Pseudo_Bob, right right, did you run Envy? [01:42] how does it work? like crossloop? [01:42] gabangie: crossloop is crap [01:42] Pff, yeah of course! [01:42] mssever, you could try "slax" I am not sure if compiz can be used for that netbook release [01:42] No... [01:42] its telling my apt-: command not found [01:42] gabangie: logmein is just as bad [01:42] <^Phantom^> let's say i scanned 8.5 by 11 inch thing @ 2400dpi... [01:42] well, my downloaded has completed, so I'm going to reboot and see if my current iteration has yielded any results. Thanks for the help, everyone. [01:42] comrade_tuttle: sudo apt-get [01:42] not : [01:42] mssever: you can enable compiz on the UNR. but it can conflict with the special UNR interface. [01:42] coz_: slax...Now there's a blast from the past [01:43] trevorj, i saw nomachine has good performace too [01:43] coz_: slackware was the first distro I used, years ago [01:43] gabangie: there really isn't anything free for that sort of thing that I'm aware of [01:43] [t0rc]: Just "envy" doesn't do anything. How do I run it? [01:43] mssever, it is a dereiviative of slackware for netbooks [01:43] still telling me command not found [01:43] someone told me not to use sudo su... but I forget what they told me to use instead....? [01:43] i just read that i did nt try it yet [01:43] dreivative [01:43] Pseudo_Bob: try envy to find the proper command [01:43] gabangie: nomachine has good performance, yes, but you still need to install a client [01:43] jiohdi: YOu mean sudo -i? [01:43] comrade_tuttle: open a terminal. type "alsamixer" (no quotes) [01:43] jiohdi: sudo -i or sudo -s [01:43] gabangie: with bomgar, you don't. They just go to your website, run a small ~100k app [01:43] comrade_tuttle: LOOK at the spelling [01:43] gabangie: and you're in [01:43] Flare183: no it was something starting with a g [01:43] !tab | comrade_tuttle [01:43] comrade_tuttle: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [01:44] <[t0rc]> Pseudo_Bob, well, lets give you a GUI instead of just text interface, do: sudo apt-get install envyng-qt [01:44] Hello people, anyone know the name of that program which get a mp3 hash and auto identify it's id3 tags ? [01:44] gabangie: plus the client works on mac, linux, or windows as well =) [01:44] !sudi | jiohdi [01:44] Sorry, I don't know anything about sudi [01:44] !sudo | jiohdi [01:44] jiohdi: 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) [01:44] trevorj, great that sounds great [01:44] unfortunetly I'm getting the same results [01:44] here is a list of the more common netbook distributions http://www.internetling.com/2009/02/14/top-5-netbook-linux-distributions/ [01:44] comrade_tuttle: if you want sound from Flash and other web stuff, quit all running media apps before opening the web browser. [01:44] !gksu [01:44] If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [01:44] [t0rc]: Oh yeah, everybody look at the newb who needs a GUI because he can't handle the text interface [01:44] trevorj, does it use some password or something? [01:45] gabangie: you login from anywhere via a client [01:45] gabangie: with your username and password [01:45] <[t0rc]> Pseudo_Bob, looool ;) [01:45] Dr_Willis: thanks [01:45] gabangie: you can have as many users as you want, but you can only have as many logged in as you have licenses [01:45] gabangie: they run about a grand a pop [01:45] comrade_tuttle: sudo aptitude install [01:45] <[t0rc]> Pseudo_Bob, until you have a good handle on the shell, GUI is your friend :) [01:45] [t0rc]: That's true. [01:46] gabangie: this is per-user btw, you can have be remoted into as many client pcs as you want [01:46] It pays to spend the time and LEARN the shell ! :0 [01:46] trevorj, usually i dont have more than 2 users at the same time [01:46] cli > gui [01:46] Dr_Willis: That's true, as well. [01:46] gabangie: nah, I mean it's per helpdesk member [01:46] gabangie: not per client PC [01:46] mneptok: hi [01:46] trevorj, how much does it cost? [01:46] [t0rc]: Eh, whatever. It's downloading now. Looks like it'll take a while... [01:47] <[t0rc]> Pseudo_Bob, not to mention, using GUI's until you're used to the shell will protect you from doing some nasty things which are easily done from shell [01:47] <[t0rc]> Pseudo_Bob, it's only about 10MB. Not a biggie [01:47] gabangie: about a grand a pop iirc, with all support and updates in the future included [01:47] DigitalKiwi: heya [01:47] where can i download ALASmixer. I do not believe i have it [01:47] gabangie: it runs on a self-contained server [01:47] gabangie: they ship you a rackmount [01:47] [t0rc]: Oh, duh. I have some podcasts downloading as well as the entire discography of Muse. [01:47] gabangie: =) [01:48] [t0rc]: Not that I have sound or anything. [01:48] comrade_tuttle: ALSAMIXER!!! A L S A M I X E R! [01:48] comrade_tuttle: Wait a sec, do you have the repo's setup correctly? [01:48] comrade_tuttle: one LAST time. SPELL IT CORRECTLY! [01:48] what are you talking about trevorj?

[01:49] <[t0rc]> DigitalKiwi, egg before chicken? :P You naturally have to venture out someday my friend. You have a point though - experimenting and playing with the shell are the best teachers. [01:50] 10kB/s. Awesome. [01:50] bazhang: how is it offtopic? we're talking about remoting into linux boxes? [01:50] ubuntu seems to discourage shell usage by default [01:50] Pseudo_Bob: That's just fails.... [01:50] poutine: How do you mean? [01:50] DigitalKiwi: man -k is your friend. [01:50] <[t0rc]> Pseudo_Bob, but if you really don't want to wait, type: sudo envyng -t [01:50] anyone know why my remote desktop server will not run? [01:50] trevorj, this is support only, not chit chat. [01:50] Okay, I'm in alsa now what am I looking for? [01:50] jiohdi: Holding your face wrong.

[02:04] <[t0rc]> Pseudo_Bob, well if you don't want to spend your time downloading that GUI [02:04] <[t0rc]> Pseudo_Bob, you can just use the shell line to do it all [02:04] [t0rc]: Also, when I was reading that Shell tutorial you sent me, I found the tab function and got envy running. [02:04] nErVe: but I cannot help with the freezing other than to send you here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/341363/comments/44 [02:04] stianhj: It fails on the Grub-Installation step [02:04] lololololol pseudo bob [02:04] emil111: you coudl always test out ubuntu in 'virtualbox' on windows.. or some of the dozen+ very good 'live cd' type disrtos. [02:04] Giddorah: what is the error message? [02:04] <[t0rc]> MySecondChoiceIS, ? [02:04] boss_mc: Suggest me a place where i can take my query [02:04] I'll soon find out [02:05] stianhj: Grub failed to install on hd0, this is a serious error [02:05] stianhj: Or something like that [02:05] Giddorah: are you dual-booting with windows? [02:05] stianhj: Yes, or I want to [02:05] nErVe: tbh, you'd be best off asking here in a few hours or tomorrow, you'll need someone with some knowledge to help guide you through some debugging steps [02:05] I thought it was supposed to be /dev/sda1 [02:05] or something like that [02:06] [t0rc]: I apparently have something running that won't let me install it. [02:06] <[t0rc]> Pseudo_Bob, all right, well then just use the text interface. you did: sudo envyng -t right [02:06] <[t0rc]> ? [02:06] [t0rc]: Yup. [02:06] <[t0rc]> Pseudo_Bob, right right, that other download you have running, is preventing it [02:06] boss_mc: Thanks buddy will do that.Cheers [02:06] [t0rc]: Closed that and it didn't work still. Let me try it again [02:07] Giddorah: and rebooting doesn't give you grub? i've had the devices.map error before, but grub still installed [02:07] stianhj: I get straight into Windows 7 when I reboot [02:07] [t0rc]: Same error. Only other things I have running are Firefox, Transmission, and Banshee [02:08] hi! I am having problems at the boot with karmic [02:08] lvzimmer, #ubuntu+1 for that [02:08] bazhang: thanks [02:08] <[t0rc]> Pseudo_Bob, do you have Synaptic open? [02:08] Anyone know about mtpfs, I see you need it to mount an mtp device like the sony walkman, I am trying to put mp3's on, but I seems no to show up sudo mkdir /media/sony, sudo mtpfs /media/sony ??? [02:09] [t0rc]: Nope. [02:09] cjae: install mtp-tools [02:09] [t0rc]: I can give you the full error message if you'd like. [02:09] <[t0rc]> Pseudo_Bob, yeah, lets do that, but PM me it [02:09] cjae: along with gnomad2 [02:09] sudobash, thanks that seems to have done the trick [02:09] mdg I did both of those [02:10] cjae: when you plug it in and start gnomad2, what happens? [02:10] Hmmm [02:10] mdg I think I must be mouting it wrong of something [02:10] s/of/or [02:10] Error 18: Selected cylinder exceeds maximum supported by BIOS [02:11] Uhm... What does that mean? [02:11] Giddorah: try removing the pratition(s) you made for linux in the partition editor step of the installer [02:11] bad geometry on the HDD [02:11] Okies [02:11] cjae: when you plug it in - does a dialog box pop-up? [02:12] Giddorah: and then use the Guided option - Use largest continuous free space, or whatever it's caleld [02:12] cjae: that's without gnomad2 [02:12] what does atm stand for [02:12] nvm i was trying to make a point. [02:12] stianhj: That options doesn't occour, since when I've deleted the partitions and go back... The partitions are there again [02:12] veeloc: automatic teller machine, at the moment, a** to mouth [02:12] anyone know how to make the desktop a file listing (details view) [02:13] instead of desktop icons [02:13] Giddorah: if you need to fix the partitions on your machine I would suggest making a gparted boot cd and fixing them with that [02:13] hullo: err.. you mean the default desktop yousee? or in a file manager? [02:13] Giddorah: delete them in Windows 7 then.. [02:13] default desktop [02:13] Giddorah: run the program diskmgmt.msc [02:13] just had my first system crash. I went into System->Display, and it just kinda froze.... [02:13] ne1 been able to install city of heroes using cedega lately on ubuntu 9.04 64 bit? [02:14] mdg, it just says connecting and nothing comes up in ubuntu [02:14] Sigh... So much work... I've been here since 8pm and it's 3am now... And still no go... :( [02:14] cjae: plug it in and at a command line type "lsusb" and see if it shows up in the output list [02:14] hullo: i doubt if thats doable. [02:14] Giddorah: press the Windows button and just type in diskmgmt.msc and enter.. you'll be able to delete partitions from there [02:14] stianhj: I'm in kubuntu live [02:14] Giddorah: use Windows 7 to remove the partitions [02:15] mdg, not there [02:15] cjae: it is plugged in via USB right? [02:15] stianhj: There's no way to remove them from within Kubuntu? [02:15] mdg, yes [02:15] <^Phantom^> Are there anything other than sane that can communicate with a scanner? [02:15] !mtpfs [02:15] Sorry, I don't know anything about mtpfs [02:16] Giddorah: yes you can, but you seemed to have problems with it [02:16] Giddorah: i normally use just the old 'fdisk' command to delete partitions, be sure to 'w'rite chantges to disk after using these partitioning tools. [02:16] anyone know how to connect to an exchange 5.5 server with evolution? [02:16] mdg, last time I had it plugged in it said connecting mtp on the device [02:16] cjae: have you installed all the medibuntu stuff? [02:16] Dr_Willis: Thank you :) [02:16] ^Phantom^: if theres a SANE alterantive - ive never heard of it. [02:16] [02:16] [02:16] [02:16] ugliefrog: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:16] cjae: ah, so it did say connecting mtp once [02:16] mdg, yes restricted extra and the medibuntu repo [02:16] <^Phantom^> Oh. [02:17] Dr_Willis: FATAL ERROR: Bad primary partition 0: Partition ends in the final partial cylinder [02:17] mdg, on the device n ot in ubuntu [02:17] Giddorah: whats saying that? [02:17] cjae: is it plugged in now? [02:17] Dr_Willis: cfdisk [02:17] mdg, yes [02:17] Giddorah: try just 'fdisk' ? [02:17] Im dinking around with remote x sessions. This is all a bit confusing. I have two machines on the same trusted network. Im very accustomed to sshing into a machine and running xapps from that machine, is remote x using xdmc and different or (faster)? [02:17] Giddorah: you want to totally erase this disk? or what exactly? [02:18] mdg, lsusb sees it now [02:18] grendal_prime: you can do 'xdmcp' to get a remote 'session' or 'ssh -X' to login and run single apps remotely. [02:18] Dr_Willis: I want to remove two partitions... /dev/sdc5&6 [02:18] cjae: it does - that's good [02:18] anyone ever have ubuntu 9.4 cd work on one box & get a read errror on the next " same usb dvdr" on both :/ [02:18] Giddorah: go to gparted.sourceforge.com, download and create a boot CD, boot of of it and open Gparted and you will be able to edit/delete/create your partitions as necessary [02:18] cjae: try starting gnomad2 [02:18] sorry, thats gparted.sourceforge.NET not .com === schlorto1 is now known as schlortoo [02:18] Giddorah: try 'fdisk /dev/whateverthedeviceis' and see if you can delete them with 'd' be CAREFULL to not delete the wrong things [02:18] ya Dr_Willis si i want the remote session deal. [02:19] mdg, no jukeboxes found on usb bus [02:19] im reading a huge how to on this..is it much easyer with the ubuntu tools? [02:19] grendal_prime: you can set up XDMCP where at the gdm login screen on the local box thers a 'xdmcp chooser' and you can pick what machine to log into. [02:19] cjae: do you have rhythmbox? [02:19] <^Phantom^> Is it possible that a different linux distro might be able to communicate with my scanner? [02:19] grendal_prime: its about a 5 min job. :) edit the gdm.conf and thats about it. i recall. [02:19] anyone know how to set up evolution with exchange 5.5? [02:19] mdg, no [02:20] cjae: doing some research - hold on... [02:20] does anyone here know how to get the backlight to turn off? [02:20] the confussion comes in with just understanding what is the server and what is the client.. [02:20] ^Phantom^: its possible a differnt/newer version of SANE might have support for your scanner.. Chexck the SANE homepage to see how well supported your scanner.. do actual research dont just jump around trying things. :) [02:20] mdg, something wrong with hal in 9.04 or anything [02:20] Dr_Willis: No partitions is defined yet [02:20] cjae: do you have amarok? [02:20] mdg, yes [02:21] Giddorah: Huh? be a bit more verbose/concise in what is saying what messages... [02:21] does anyone know how i get openGL 2.0 on jaunty with an intel graphics card? [02:21] cjae: in amarok, under preferences - you can adjust settings for mtpfs [02:21] !intel | bobo [02:21] bobo: Ubuntu 9.04 has a known regression for some Intel graphics support. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/IntelPerformance and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130582 for more information. [02:21] i have a machine at work say for instance...i also have a laptop that has remote access to the same network via a vpn. If i want to vpn to the network at work, then run the apps on my desktop machine from my laptop, the machine at work would be the server and my laptop would be the client correct? [02:21] Dr_Willis: I typed fdisk /dev/sdc5, it asks for a command. I type "d" and it says that [02:21] Giddorah: you did it wrong.. you dont use /dev/sdc5 you use dev/sdc [02:21] Dr_Willis: Well, actually I added sudo [02:21] Oooh [02:21] Dr_Willis: Sorry about that [02:21] :) [02:22] Giddorah: common mistake. [02:22] Dr_Willis: Unable to open dev/sdc5... Guess I have to do this outside of Ubuntu === [1]addchild314 is now known as addchild314_ [02:22] Giddorah: hmm.. sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdc gives what exactly? [02:22] hey guys i just got cairo dock as well as AWN but i want to know is how do i get the stsckd spp for it/ [02:22] mdg, dont see it in preferences [02:22] when I try to run blender I get a segment falt [02:23] stacks app for it? [02:23] Dr_Willis: Shows me 6 partitions [02:23] Giddorah: the disks are probably mounted since you just tried to install to them.. [02:23] Dr_Willis: sdc1 through 6 [02:23] I am trying to run ubuntu on an old pentium III system I p/u from a flea market... it says it only has 245Mb of ram, is that even possible? [02:23] cjae: do you see anything like plugins? [02:23] jiohdi: stay away from gnome and kde.. [02:24] stianhj: Says "umount: /dev/sdc5: not mounted [02:24] stianhj, how can I run ubuntu without gnome? [02:24] Giddorah: may wan tto try a live cd i guess.. normally i dont recall fdisk careing if its mounted or not. [02:24] Giddorah: if you'd done as i said ten minutes ago, you'd be done by now [02:24] jiohdi: select a different window manager at the GDM login? :) [02:24] browsers [02:24] Dr_Willis: I am using kubuntu-live [02:24] stianhj: Yeah yeah... Thanks :P [02:25] Giddorah: fdisk /dev/sdc gives what error exactly? [02:25] dr willis, what is a GDM login and where does it give me a choice? [02:25] Dr_Willis: Unable to open /dev/sdc [02:25] jiohdi: or better yet, don't install GDM [02:25] What browsers are available [02:25] BROWSERS [02:25] can someone help me =_= [02:25] jiohdi: its the login screen you use and it has a menu. [02:25] Giddorah: just download and use a gparted boot cd to mess with your partitions, like I said before, it is very easy and works well [02:25] browsers ubuntu [02:25] jiohdi: 245 = 128 + 64 + 32 + 16 + 4 + 1, so probably not. [02:25] good god [02:25] !browsers > MySecondChoiceIS [02:25] MySecondChoiceIS, please see my private message [02:25] mdg, no [02:25] jiohdi: explore the login screen a bit.. do a 'sudo apt-get install icewm' and there SHOULD be some sessions menu somewhere that includes gnome, icewm, and others. [02:25] flannel, that is what I thought, the lowest s/b 256 [02:26] <[t0rc]> !flood > MySecondChoiceIS [02:26] why does my computer felt sluggish when the computer is on longer than a hour? [02:26] MySecondChoiceIS: firefox and its variants, opera, chrome. are what i got installed right now. [02:26] probably because you are downloading too much porn [02:26] dr willis, I am not that familiar with linux... if I change to icewm, can I still run things like firefox? [02:26] cjae: I believe in Amarok, just below the menu bar are some icons [02:26] jiohdi: crunchbang linux uses ubuntu as a base, and openbox as a window manager.. uses much less RAM than standard ubuntu with gnome.. [02:26] hackulator, that is not appropriate for here [02:26] hackulator: Not only does that not make sense technically, it's not necessary either. [02:26] Hello, does any one know a good pcoket-style calculator for ubuntu' [02:26] ? [02:26] cjae: you can have it try to locate your "jukebox" with one of those icons [02:27] LinuX2half: test closing and reopening firefox? [02:27] Giddorah: you did do sudo fdisk /dev/sdc ? [02:27] pocket* [02:27] jamieleshaw: gcalctool [02:27] sorry, just my standard response to "my computer is slow, what causes that?" [02:27] Dr_Willis: Yes [02:27] stianhj, does that require a full new install? [02:27] <[t0rc]> jamieleshaw, I've never had pockets in linux... :( I feel left out. [02:27] Giddorah: this is getting weirder and weirder.. sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdc works.. but sudo /dev/sdc dosent ........ [02:27] jiohdi: have you already installed ubuntu on it? [02:27] jamieleshaw: Pocket-style? I mean, +/-/*/%? [02:27] Yes [02:27] /s/I/you [02:28] Like win calc [02:28] stianhj, yes... already installed and it runs...mostly [02:28] Dr_Willis: Wait... Now it works... AIght... I got the partitions removed [02:28] I'm gonna try the setup again [02:28] Giddorah: ? Magic? or perhaps a flakey [02:28] jamieleshaw: is the default one not ok? [02:28] chrome [02:28] Giddorah: ? Magic? or perhaps a flakey drive.. check 'dmesg' command to see if it has any error type info [02:28] jamieleshaw: xcalc? [02:28] help, I need to print from win xp pro, to ubuntu 9.04.. ubuntu is the host running vbox and xp pro is the guest OS.. and since vbox doesn't 'do' parallel ports.. I have to print to a shared printer, The printer is a laserjet 3p , and it is shared and others on the network can print to it, just not from this vbox machine.. [02:28] Dr_Willis: Probably a bad computer commander :P [02:28] arand: okay, it takes approximately 4 seconds for it to open and it close faster. [02:28] is there a Chrome for linux [02:28] ok, do what Dr_Willis said, install icewm or openbox.. reboot (or restart X) and when you get to the login screen, press F10, and you can choose to use icewm instead of gnome [02:28] arand: It's great, just need one the same as pocket calc [02:28] Giddorah: 'PEBKAC' [02:29] <^Phantom^> there's an .996 [02:29] :) [02:29] jamieleshaw: Maybe gcalctool ? [02:29] majuk: the gnome calculator, under view, has 4 other options [02:29] stianhj, will do... [02:29] mysecondchoiceis: Yes there is [02:29] <^Phantom^> how do i 'make' things again? [02:29] Dr_Willis: Can't say that I see anything wrong there [02:29] arand: but I just open up my computer so it would only seem normal. [02:29] cjae: how you coming? [02:29] Dr_Willis: Nothing says "Error" [02:29] MySecondChoiceIS: i said earlier that Google has repos up now for their Linux CHROME. [02:29] LinuX2half: I was thinking maybe FF was eating up resources, and reopening would clear that... [02:29] jiohdi: on such and old computer, it might be better to choose one of the more lightweight distros [02:29] Giddorah: not sure what had it confused then. [02:29] what is a repo? [02:30] Well, i'm looking for a calculator where "100+3%" is the same as 100*0.03"" [02:30] mdg, amarok froze and cannot find what you are talking about it the new amarok and I hate it [02:30] !repo | MySecondChoiceIS [02:30] MySecondChoiceIS: repository [02:30] MySecondChoiceIS: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [02:30] Dr_Willis: Can I PM you? [02:30] That is like pocket calc [02:30] Giddorah: about to leave for work in 10 min.. [02:30] Dr_Willis: Aight :) [02:30] jamieleshaw: thats how gcalctool *used* to do it til people who dont know math complained too loudly [02:30] arand: how do I know whats eating my resources? Are you talking services? [02:30] stianhj: Got time for some private help? :) [02:30] cjae: both amarok and rhythmbox have pretty good support for mtp [02:30] Giddorah: ok [02:30] cjae: are you running KDE? [02:30] http://dev.chromium.org/getting-involved/dev-channel [02:30] Is it easy to restore an ubuntu -vista dualboot using clonezilla?

[02:31] http://www.google.com/chrome/intl/en/eula_dev.html?dl=unstable_i386_deb [02:31] mdg, yes [02:31] jamieleshaw: now it does it like 100+(0.03*100) [02:31] BBL [02:31] msmaco: Can I get a copy of hardy one? [02:31] jamieleshaw: which is obviously not the same as 100 plus 3 percent...it the same as 100 plus 3 percent *of 100* [02:31] jamieleshaw: yeah, on packages.ubuntu.com [02:31] msmaco; yeah I know === vic is now known as Guest31038 [02:32] mdg, it keeps scanning my nusic folder which is huge and it takes forever, it think it has something to do with it being ext4, it seems to stuggle with under 10 gigs [02:32] msmaco: looking now [02:32] <^Phantom^> it's not letting me "make" xsane [02:32] Hi everyone. Where is a good room to talk about backtrack?

[02:34] mdg, a lot of linux programs are getting dumbed down way too much [02:34] current* [02:34] mdg, but thats neither here nore there [02:34] jamieleshaw: after you get the deb for the old one, install it with "dpkg -i --force-downgrade gcalctool*.deb" [02:34] cjae: while I doubt it is the problem, you can mout an ext4 partition as ext3 or even ext2 and see if performance improves [02:34] cjae: I'm trying to remember the mtp-tools commands....

[02:37] mdg, sorry gott pop spilt in kb [02:37] Hello? [02:37] jamieleshaw: it should return 100.03 [02:37] someone is trying to hack into my computer [02:37] !ask|gabe_ [02:37] gabe_: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [02:37] with vnc [02:38] cjae: I don't know what you just said LOL [02:38] jamieleshaw: thats how it behaved in hardy. in either inrepid or jaunty it was changed to return 103 [02:38] mdg: he said he spilled soda on his keyboard :-p [02:38] hackulator: oh [02:38] k [02:38] mdg, pop in keyboard bear with me [02:39] mdg, LIBMTP PANIC: Could not open session!

[02:41] is it mozilla based browser? [02:41] yes [02:41] Yes, it's mozilla based [02:41] I'm using it as we speak [02:41] welcome to linux [02:41] gabe_: it is unlikely you can find out. he could have been using something like tor to hide his real IP, but knowing his IP would oly get you his general area [02:42] so whats the difference between the two browser mozilla and sea monkey? [02:42] mdg, well usually use aptitude to install but just checked with synaptic and libmtp8 is there too === LSD|Ninj1 is now known as LSD|Ninja [02:42] yoyoned: I'm just really freaked out right now, excuse me if I sound rude or anything [02:42] cjae: mtpfs stuff too?

[02:43] mdg, and qlix too will try that again [02:43] gabe_: just disable it and, thats it..should be done... [02:43] cjae: try mtp-detect and see what happens [02:44] 0_) [02:44] finally [02:44] cjae: I'm guessing gnomad is not working because you are using KDE and you would have to install all that gnome stuff [02:45] stianhj: I have icewm running, can I run my remote server from there? [02:45] mdg, gonna try a reboot and see brb [02:45] arand, okay, thanks then [02:45] btw, whats "more stable" ? kde or gnome?

[03:09] hey guys‎ i just randomly lost sound from my jaunty any help? [03:09] that's good to know - writting it down... [03:09] !sound [03:09] if i have a remtoe printer connected to windows, then ubuntu has to use smb to print to that remote printer, right? [03:09] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [03:09] Has anyone used Wine? I'm trying to use some of my windows programs in unbuntu but no luck so far [03:09] anyone use 3+ monitors? [03:10] !intel [03:10] Ubuntu 9.04 has a known regression for some Intel graphics support. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/IntelPerformance and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130582 for more information. [03:10] dennispudwill, some programs work very well, like firefox can be installed under wine to fool sites that require xp [03:10] spo, ubuntu uses samba to talk to the windows machine and CUPS to print. if I understand it correctly [03:10] dennispudwill, some programs you dont even have to install if you have them on a xp partition you can just drag them and they work === subzero2000_ is now known as subzero2000 [03:12] anyone know if remote desktop server works under ice? [03:12] 9.10 works heaps better for Intel graphics - but it's still buggy [03:13] jiohdi: vnc qorks under anything [03:13] gogeta, how do I start it under ice? [03:13] jiohdi: install the realvnc server and start it [03:14] Hi, I cannot play flash videos (ie: youtube, metavideo whatever) on opera, however it works fine in firefox wtfrite??? help!? [03:14] Hi, I cannot play flash videos (ie: youtube, metavideo whatever) on opera, however it works fine in firefox wtfrite??? help!? [03:14] gogeta, the one already in the system will not work under ice? [03:14] opps [03:14] Anyone use clonezilla? [03:14] jiohdi: dunno [03:14] jiohdi: it should however [03:15] ice does not have the same menu so I cannot find things as easily [03:15] need some advice, just got a thinkpad and I need to decide between jaunty or karmic [03:15] jaunty [03:15] MySecondChoiceIS: you probly have to reinstall it so it adds the plugin to opra [03:15] jiohdi: x11vncserver and realvncserver (or tightvncserver) are different animals [03:16] th0r which one is native to ubuntu and how do I make it work under icewm? [03:16] also is there any difference between the minimal cd and installing server w/o any extra software? [03:16] MrMacPlus: jaunty is stable kermic alpha [03:16] gogeta: I understand that [03:16] !minimal | MrMacPlus [03:16] MrMacPlus: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [03:17] ubottu: I understand that too [03:17] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [03:17] MrMacPlus, the server version has no GUI the minimal and LiveCD versions do [03:17] richardcavell: so should i replace 9.04 with 9.10 or is it still to early? [03:17] bobo: What graphics setup do you have? [03:17] I just want ubuntu w/o a gui [03:17] bobo: Karmic is still alpha software. [03:17] bobo, if you have to ask then it is to early [03:17] jiohdi: don't know what you mean by 'native'. I think x11vncserver is installed by default. You start it with 'x11vnc -display :0 [03:17] bobo: if you dont mind a unstable os [03:17] MrMacPlus: Grab the alternate CD [03:18] lol [03:18] I don't want a gui Flannel [03:18] MrMacPlus: The alternate CD can install a system that has no GUI. [03:18] is there any fix yet for intel 4500MHD graphic cards? blender doesn't work properly for example.. [03:18] I have the server install and want to know if it will do the same thing [03:18] MrMacPlus: minimal and server will work too if you've already got them yeah. [03:18] okay [03:18] MrMacPlus: The server CD by default includes the server kernel, which you may not want (and may not work on all "desktop" hardware) [03:19] MrMacPlus: heh well server comes w some server tools the min cd is just a base [03:19] MrMacPlus, any version you want will do fine but karmic is not ready :) [03:19] er, with all, some esoteric peripherals, etc. [03:19] MrMacPlus: The minimal CD is the alternate CD without packages on it, it instead downloads what it needsfrom the internet during the installation process. [03:19] Yes, i know Karmic is still alpha, but i mean i upgraded to jaunty at like beta 2 or something so yeah i just thought it might be the same [03:19] what's the difference between VNC, VPN and SHH? [03:20] Flannel: but if you slect base only thats what you get [03:20] richardcavell: i have intel chipset and its buggy as anything [03:20] gogeta, MrMacPlus: server CD gives you the *option* of installing server programs. But you likely will want to swap out the kernel [03:20] gogeta: Yes, just like the alternate CD [03:20] bobo: What version specifically? Do you know? [03:20] if I install the server without selecting any extra software will it be the same as the minimal w/o selecting additional software? === Niamor59 is now known as Niamor [03:20] MrMacPlus: the alt cd does that as well as the minmul [03:21] mdg: vnc allows you to run a graphic desktop from a remote location. VPN allows you to create a secure tunnel to a remote location, and SSH allows you to access the command line of a remote location using encryption [03:21] MrMacPlus: No. You'll have the server kernel instead of the generic kernel. But the rest will be, yes. [03:21] umm.... idk how can i check? [03:21] bobo: lspci | grep Graphics [03:21] MrMacPlus: go with alt or mini to get a base desktop kernel [03:21] thanks th0r ! [03:21] is having the server kernal going to alter my user experience though? [03:21] Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07 [03:22] MrMacPlus: depends on what you want to do with your computer. It is relatively trivial to change it after you install though, so don't worry about it. [03:22] MrMacPlus: are you installing on a PPC? [03:22] Flannel: why are you making it harder [03:22] bobo: I can't vouch for that series. Yours is more advanced than mine (GMA 950) [03:22] oh [03:22] Flannel: sudo apt-get install linux-generic-kernel? [03:22] hmmm [03:22] bobo: But I will say that Karmic works heaps, heaps better on my machine than Jaunty so far as graphics are concerned [03:22] MrMacPlus: linux-generic, and then remove the -server stuff, yeah. [03:22] bobo: Unfortunately Karmic is still buggy as anything [03:22] gogeta: I could ask you the same thing. He already has the server CD. [03:23] Flannel: oh [03:23] bobo: But at least when things crash they don't bring down my whole computer [03:23] trying to run xorg with radeonhd 4830 on debian squeeze, neither vesa or fglrx are working, I deleted my xorg.conf and I am runing from bash, tried all backup ones and they all failed. Anyone familiar with this problem? [03:23] is there any open source software that will let me take multiple video feeds and switch/mix them live? [03:23] thats good. Well, i suppose ill wait til the beta comes out for it [03:23] so do those commands after each other? [03:23] bobo: It's still very very buggy. I have about 30 bugs on launchpad right now [03:23] sharing ubuntu printer with networked xp pro? anyone? [03:23] MrMacPlus: there are lots of install options from alternate CD, just press tab key and run through them [03:24] well do them after each other if I get any problems [03:24] MrMacPlus: Install generic kernels, reboot to the generic kernel, then remove all the server kernels [03:24] Flannel: how do you boot into the generic kernels? [03:24] Yeah, but like i said earlier, I upgraded to jaunty at beta 2, and although i had a hiccup or two, it wasn't that big so I'll probably do the same for karmic [03:25] How do you install stuff not in the repositories? [03:25] MrMacPlus: Choose it at the GRUB menu (the menu you get right after you POST) [03:25] MrMacPlus: when you get to yaboot prompt just press tab and review all your options - you don't need to install server stuff and then uninstall [03:26] is there any fix yet for intel 4500MHD graphic cards? blender doesn't work properly for example.. [03:26] ipatrol: That depends on the software you're trying to install. [03:26] mdg: you assume I'm using a mac. ;) [03:26] ohola [03:26] MrMacPlus: even on an intel, press tab and you will see lots of options - just keep pressing tab [03:26] jol [03:26] What is the linux equivilant of a Windows installer package? [03:26] MrMacPlus: yes, I assumed Mac - sorry [03:27] ipatrol: for ubuntu it's .deb files [03:27] ipatrol: depends on the distribution. [03:27] Jaunty [03:27] <[criipt]> .deb [03:27] jaunty is not a distribution, it is a version of a distribution. [03:27] mdg: I do own more macs than can be healthy but I'm just going to be using linux on my thinkpad I just got [03:27] thanks everyone for the help [03:27] bye [03:27] Is there a way to install repository stuff without using the terminal? [03:27] MrMacPlus: my first laptop was a thinkpad - a whopping 166 Mhz :) [03:28] ipatrol: yes. [03:28] how? [03:28] !synaptic | ipatrol [03:28] ipatrol: synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto [03:28] mdg: thinkpad a20m, 800mhz [03:28] ipatrol: yes, by downloading .deb files and clicking them.. [03:28] MrMacPlus: that should work nicely [03:28] ipatrol: by double-clicking on it in nautilus, it should bring up the package installer. just click the mouse a few times and it will install. [03:28] What is the add/remove thing in the applications menu? [03:29] ipatrol: a way of installing software in the repositories [03:29] ipatrol: that's another method of installing things from the repositories. [03:29] ipatrol, you can use the add/remove or: System > Administration > Synaptic package manager [03:29] ipatrol: a different method of installing or removing software [03:30] ipatrol, it's a redundant way of doing it IMHO but works just as well as Synaptic [03:30] ipatrol: there is no one-size-fits-all, there are different ways of accomplishing the same goal, depending on the situation. [03:31] Does thunderbird come with jaunty? [03:31] Don't think so. [03:31] You probably need to install it. [03:31] ipatrol: no, but jaunty comes with thunderbird. [03:31] ipatrol: not installed be default.. in the repos though.. [03:31] ipatrol: yes, it is available in the repos [03:31] ipatrol: just search for it in the add/remove thingy [03:31] I did [03:31] ipatrol : it is in synaptic [03:31] ipatrol, up top you need to change it to all available apps [03:32] ipatrol: right next to the search box, select "All available software" [03:32] I would actually recommend UbuntuZilla. [03:32] But I saw lots of add-ons, but thunderbird was missing in add/remove [03:32] applications* [03:32] Even when set to all [03:32] If you want the newest version, UbuntuZilla is probably your best bet. [03:32] ipatrol: it should be the top one when searching [03:32] No, it was not [03:32] Enigmail was on top [03:33] Thunderbird itself was not there [03:33] ipatrol: it's in the repositories, it's available to be installed [03:33] ipatrol: do you have all repos enabled [03:33] ipatrol: its called mozilla-thunderbird in the repos [03:34] Yes [03:34] ipatrol, it's there named: Mozilla Thunderbird Mail [03:34] Dud that too [03:34] ipatrol: it'll be further down, its package is mozilla-thunderbird. enigmail is on top because it mentions thunderbird like five times in its description [03:34] Does software already installwd [03:34] Is there an easy way to gauge which of two programs (that do the same thing) is 'lighter'? [03:34] ed disappear from add/remove? [03:34] It isn't in Add/Remove [03:34] ipatrol: no, because then you wouldn't be able to remove it [03:35] ipatrol: no.. they're just checked [03:35] Go to System -> Administration -> Synaptic [03:35] ??? === cfedde_ is now known as cfedde [03:35] Thunderbird isn't in add/remove? [03:35] ipatrol: there is a checkbox on the left of applications.. the ones installed are checked.. [03:35] Nope. [03:35] Why? [03:35] I have no idea. [03:35] It makes no sense to me. [03:35] It ought to be put there [03:35] I have it here.. [03:35] Licensing? [03:36] it is there [03:36] I don't have it either... [03:36] no it's in canonical's repos [03:36] What version are you guys on? [03:36] Is it a bug? [03:36] Jaunty [03:36] I'm on 8.04 [03:36] the name is Mozilla Thunderbird Mail/News [03:36] Hmm. [03:36] Oh! [03:36] If that's the name then I have ti. [03:36] *it. [03:36] doh [03:36] rednano12 : jaunty and it is in synaptic simple as that [03:36] That suddenly appeared in my menu while I was searching, strangly [03:37] Cool. [03:37] #ubuntu-es [03:37] ipatrol, the matrix changed something [03:37] awesome === carlos is now known as Guest98857 [03:37] ups sorrry [03:37] Right now I uninstalled Ubuntu because FUBARed it [03:37] hey guys, what do i do after this "svn co https://kabikaboo.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/kabikaboo kabikaboo" ? [03:38] In installing python3.1, sudo and gksudo and other programs were turned into python scripts, strangly [03:38] innomen: compile or run it === Templar_Xion is now known as TemplarX [03:39] C-S-B, can you give me the basic command? [03:39] http://sourceforge.net/projects/kabikaboo/develop is where it came from [03:39] It depends on what you are installing. [03:39] The shbang turned from #! /bin/bash to #! /usr/bin/python [03:39] innomen: you probably got source code that needs to be built.. depends on the source code tree what the procedure is.. there is somethimes a readme [03:39] i've compiled something literraly once before i should have all the stuff to do it [03:39] I'm using jailkit to run MLDonkey P2P client in chroot. in /var/log/message have lots message.

[03:45] innomen, probably ./configure make and make install [03:45] XD [03:45] cool [03:45] Any idea with my sound? [03:45] innomen: ty I'll check it out [03:46] rednano12, you did nothing ? [03:46] bash: configure: command not found [03:46] I watched a couple videos. [03:46] That's it. [03:46] innomen, install build-essential [03:46] I was watching the Inkscape screencast in Totem, then the sound suddenly died. [03:46] innomen, the command is ./configure [03:47] Now it doesn't work in anything. [03:47] innomen@Mercy:~/kabikaboo$ ./configure make [03:47] bash: ./configure: No such file or directory [03:48] innomen, command #1 ./configure [03:48] quit assuming i know the rest, explain it to me like i'm a toddler :) [03:48] #2 make [03:48] #3 make install [03:48] innomen: Run these commands in order. [03:48] bash: ./configure: No such file or directory [03:48] Ah, lag. [03:48] sudo make install [03:48] Does apt-get have something like aptitudes --with-recommends argument? [03:48] try sudo apt-get install build-essential [03:48] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=323939 [03:48] That might help. [03:49] innomen: its a svn checkout.. probably have to do ./autoconf.sh or something first.. there should be a readme somewhere.. [03:49] innomen: if download from source control, you often need to "bootstrap" the package before "configure" can work [03:49] ./bootstrap.sh [03:49] biovore, if it's there i dont see it http://sourceforge.net/projects/kabikaboo/develop [03:49] it's a .py I believe [03:49] innomen: ./bootstrap.sh <-- how about that? [03:49] why would you want to run an unstable version? [03:50] "0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded." [03:50] i alreayd have build essentials [03:50] Alright then. [03:50] Try ./bootstrap.sh [03:50] haha.. [03:50] Ben64, why do i prefer cinnimon over vanilla? [03:50] its a python [03:50] innomen:http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7300151 see if it help [03:50] innomen: got a dir called trunk there? [03:50] innomen: not relevant [03:51] bash: ./bootstrap.sh: No such file or directory [03:51] Ben64, Exactly :) [03:51] biovore, yes [03:51] more like, why would you fly to columbia, get cocaine, put it in a condom, swallow it [03:51] Strange.. [03:51] instead of buying it from the guy in the park [03:51] innomen: cd trunk/code/ [03:51] Ben64, because it's fun lol [03:51] lol [03:51] ot [03:51] innomen: ./kabikaboo.py [03:51] done :-) [03:51] biovore, one moment [03:52] Ben64, especially when according to a todays Slashdot story cocaine is on 90% of US currency http://news.slashdot.org/story/09/08/17/1449219/Up-To-90-Percent-of-US-Money-Has-Traces-of-Cocaine [03:53] guys no drug talk please even if it is news it's offtopic [03:53] innomen@Mercy:~/kabikaboo/trunk/code$ ls [03:53] document.py file.py kabikaboo.py [03:53] innomen@Mercy:~/kabikaboo/trunk/code$ kabikaboo.py [03:53] bash: kabikaboo.py: command not found [03:53] innomen: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[03:54] innomen: try python ./file name .py [03:54] innomen: probably needs a +x (set it executable) [03:55] ctmjr, what, that exaclt i actually type "file"? [03:55] biovore, where does the +x go? [03:55] I need a help... i install into my ubuntu the Xubuntu... now, every time i turn on my ubuntu my resolution is 800x600 =( and i have to change every time to a biggest resolution...

[03:56] biovore, should i make any of this as a bugreport or is it just me not knowing whats up? [03:57] well we havn't read the readme or build list.. this source is ment for devs.. it not a stable thing at this point.. [03:57] bleeding edge.. [03:57] biovore, its not like that he made a change based on a bug i reported [03:57] Hey guys, when trying to mount my CIFS share to my FreeNAS share, how can I make it so all file perms relate the the user connecting? [03:57] biovore, and thats all, its a fix for my issue [03:58] biovore, i just do not understand the process of compiling, and regardless of it being a good idea i want to know how to do it [03:58] innomen: look in some of the othere directoriys you got..

[03:59] biovore, ok [03:59] innomen: its just a question of which one you need to run.. [03:59] ctmjr, i'm not entierly sure of the distinction, i'm just following the only instruction given [03:59] biovore, ahhh alright [04:00] innomen, we assumed it needed to be compiled, that was our mistake [04:00] anyone use 2+ displays here [04:00] IdleOne, well it seems liek it would be, svn is a code database right? [04:00] biovore, i just do not understand the process of compiling, and regardless of it being a good idea i want to know how to do it [04:01] innomen: go up 2 directories where trunk was.. you have a code directory.. try the py files in there.. looks more like what it should be..

[04:05] innomen: I'd just wait.. [04:05] like is it "safe" to run it like this all the time? (never done it this way before) [04:05] cool cool [04:05] innomen: yeah.. just inconvenent [04:06] thanks for your help guys [04:06] innomen, looks like a neat program [04:06] biovore, hey no worries if he fixed my issue, plus i'll know how to keep up [04:06] nikolaus1: If I had to guess..

Am i right ? [04:29] Jkessler, and you can connect to it from windows using accounts on the linux box (no ldap) [04:29] yup [04:29] donavan_: maybe try lifeograph, or rednotebook [04:30] nikolaus: that command will allow you to delete any file on your FS [04:30] Jkessler, got that config or guide handy? I'm about ready to throw my file server out the window... [04:30] pepperphd, that command did not work [04:30] jron: lol. i'll ssh in and get it [04:30] donavan_: lifeograph seems to have encryption feature. rednotebook seems not to... but could just be stored in a truecrypt volume or something. [04:30] thanks, Jkessler [04:31] Ububegin: you'll want to make before make install. === Odin is now known as Guest22554 === Guest22554 is now known as th0r [04:32] Ububegin: also try checkinstall instead of make install. === vic is now known as Guest89912 [04:32] nikolaus: you probably didnt type it correctly, or dont have kde installed [04:33] I am running kde 4.2, on ubuntu 9.04 [04:34] nikolaus: kdesu kedit /boot/grub/menu.lst [04:34] C-S-B: but if make doesnt work... there's no point in proceeding to make install , right [04:34] that work?

[04:38] pepperphd, nikolaus: it's kdesu [04:38] when installing a package with make/make install, will it not show up in dpkg -l ? [04:38] owen1: correct. [04:38] !checkinstall | owen1 [04:38] owen1: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! [04:38] Flannel: got it [04:39] nice, checkinstall sounds good [04:39] this seems to be working but loaded the web browser, let me try the folders [04:39] http://www.bordeauxgroup.com/ for WoW [04:39] Flannel: Yeah i was following the guide there to begin with. I'm having an issue with the installer that wasnt addressed (as far as i can tell) [04:40] poent: Ah, your best bet is #winehq then, they should be able to help. [04:40] thanks!

[04:54] Veronika: you can install ubuntu alongside kuubntu, just installing 'ubuntu-desktop' package [04:54] tarvid: Especially when I'm not doing anything that really requires a lot of horsepower [04:54] Cyber-Dogg: what is your ubuntu version?

See http://kubuntu.org for more information - For support: #kubuntu - See also !KDE [05:08] azraelgnosis: If you can, go to /var/log and check out messages.0 [05:08] canthus13: um, I don't think so [05:08] ctmjr: we can try that [05:08] azraelgnosis: YOu get a grub menu, right? [05:08] biovore: and it also happens in gnome. [05:08] why doing nothing takes around 20% of my cpu with pikes at 100% ? [05:08] canthus13: umm? [05:09] azraelgnosis: The screen that shows up and gives you different options to boot. Normal, safe, etc. [05:09] canthus13: yes [05:09] * EO_ re-tests under GNOME. [05:09] azraelgnosis: Hit escape there, and boot into recovery mode. [05:09] neko_: maybe you have unnecesary services up? programs that keep working (say, a music player) [05:09] EagleScreen: http://pastebin.ca/1533360 [05:09] if i have a program running, say burning or ripping a cd, on one account and then switch accounts (without logging off) will that continue or will it stop? [05:09] i have check this [05:10] canthus13: trying the safe graphics mode currently. If that doesn't work, we can try that [05:10] azraelgnosis: Then check /var/log/messages.0 (or any other messages files besides just messages) [05:10] azraelgnosis: Cool. [05:10] stickboy: it will continue. [05:10] the processus that make this pike [05:10] andresj, thanks === ayahuasca is now known as anunaki [05:10] is hal-subsystem [05:10] stickboy: no prob :) [05:10] EagleScreen: I see the firmware messages in dmesg [05:10] bah. What's the command to restore your fonts again? I cat'd an archive accidentally. :P [05:11] canthus13: the safe graphics mode appears to be working [05:11] ctmjr: thanks [05:11] azraelgnosis: Good. You may need to search for a workaround to get graphics working properly once it's installed. [05:11] Hey ya [05:11] azraelgnosis: your welcome and have fun [05:12] neko_: hal... you might do good to post this on the forums or launchpad answers. or hang out here to find somebody who knows more about HAL. I can't help you too much with that, I'm sorry. although it might have to do with a specific device you have connected/inside your computer [05:12] well it seems to have magically fixed itself in gnome now. Given a couple days, the mouse will be unusable here too though. What a weird ass problem. [05:12] canthus13: oh, um, you guys will be able to help with that I presume? [05:12] I used unetbootin to make a live cd on a 1gb usb drive... I used X-ubuntu iso, should be the same as ubuntu as I read on the ubuntuforums.... anyways anybody know why a live cd would just drop to the terminal and complain that /root n such doesnt exsist? [05:12] andresj what i wondering [05:12] what is the command to format whole hdd please [05:12] Veronika: to errase the whole hdd or to put a filesystem in it? [05:13] Cyber-Dogg: you need the b43 firmware or use wl restricted driver [05:13] also i wonder if it can happen because of a bugged hd [05:13] errase [05:13] Cyber-Dogg: lets try first installing the firmware [05:13] what is the command to check if the hd is in good health ? [05:13] fwcutter? [05:13] azraelgnosis: We can try. :) A lot of times, there are guides online for it. [05:13] Cyber-Dogg: is your OS 32 or 64 bits? [05:13] 64 [05:13] azraelgnosis: What graphics card is it? [05:13] edbian: apparently ubuntu is moving away from runlevels and init. For upstart... [05:13] edbian: [05:14] canthus13: alright [05:14] Cyber-Dogg: try $ sudo aptitude install b43-fwcutter [05:14] canthus13: GeForce ... he's looking for details [05:14] Veronika: it is `dd if=/dev/null of=/your/device`. but be careful cuz ther is no revert operation :P [05:14] EagleScreen: done :-) [05:14] canthus13: GeFroce 9500 GT [05:14] exit [05:14] andresj, not /dev/zero ? [05:14] andresj: there are no data except OS [05:15] Cyber-Dogg: did it report any error, or was it fully installed? [05:15] !nvidia | azraelgnosis [05:15] azraelgnosis: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [05:15] fully installed [05:15] "format" does not exist? :D [05:15] neko_: i know of the command to see if the filesystem is good: fsck. to check the hard drive itself the best i've found is a bootdisk... but i might be just ignorant in that :P [05:15] and now, ifconfig up works [05:15] azraelgnosis: Ah. Lotsa guides for nvidia. [05:15] Veronika: why are you trying to format your hard drive? [05:15] Cyber-Dogg: can you alreadu see your wireless networks near you? [05:16] Veronika: keep in mind that if you try to format the hard drive in which Ubuntu is installed (and u are running it) your computer will hang/crash/do-weird-things at some point. [05:16] hi i have problem with my windows partition [05:16] is the uuid in grub specific to myself or to the different kernel versions? [05:16] andresj i have made a big *** have erased just half of the system... :D i think its much more easy to format it atall [05:17] EagleScreen: how do i look fo that? [05:17] Cyber-Dogg: use network-manager applet [05:17] that's a bitch [05:18] Veronika: aaah... well you shud run from a live cd first, and then format the hdd. if not the errasing might not finish. then again, the installer will errase it all anyways, if you tell it to. [05:18] i have burned it [05:18] try gprated [05:18] to formarted the hdd [05:18] where is network-manager? [05:18] I see network connections [05:18] ? [05:18] to answer my own question, it is to me [05:18] ifconfi [05:19] Cyber-Dogg: Add widgets -> Network management [05:19] azraelgnosis: Does the video card have dual outputs? [05:19] ubuntu cant read windows partition [05:19] root@Box:~# mkdir -p /mnt/windows ; mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /mnt/windows [05:19] Unexpected clusters per mft record (-1). [05:19] Failed to mount '/dev/sda1': Invalid argument [05:19] The device '/dev/sda1' doesn't have a valid NTFS. [05:19] Maybe you selected the wrong device? Or the whole disk instead of a [05:19] Matr|X: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:19] partition (e.g. /dev/hda, not /dev/hda1)? Or the other way around? [05:20] not, sorry that is for Kubuntu, Cyber-Dogg, you should have an applet to configure the network in the taskbar, and it should show the wireless nets near you [05:20] Gah, my grub file just randomly stopped working. I can't get into Ubuntu. I don't know how to edit it from LiveCD. Gah, I don't know what to do... [05:20] then nope [05:20] nothing listed there [05:20] network connections [05:20] Could someone here help me? [05:20] Dacvak [05:21] use the live cd to boot then edit the grub-menu file [05:21] put the live cd [05:21] I'm in the live cd mode now [05:21] That's what I'm typing with. [05:21] dacvak what up [05:21] sudo bash [05:21] Cyber-Dogg: it is network-manager-gnome [05:21] Hey. Trying to get grub to work. [05:21] How can I edit it from livecd? [05:21] what are you doing [05:21] how do I launch that? [05:21] Cyber-Dogg: try from a terminal [05:22] let use know more [05:22] For some reason grub decided to completely stop working. I literally have no idea why. [05:22] command not found [05:22] Dacvak: Hmm. Can you burn a supergrub CD? [05:22] Dacvak: It would be the easiest way to fix it. [05:22] When I boot, it just, like, launches grub. It says "grub>" and that's pretty much it. [05:22] UNUNTU ????????????!!?!!!!?????!!!!????//// [05:22] I don't really have access to CDs right now. [05:23] Dacvak: grub-install /dev/sdX [05:23] Cyber-Dogg: it may be nm-gnome [05:23] Plus my menu.lst file was custom made to also dual-boot into windows [05:23] Cyber-Dogg: use TAB key to autocomplete names [05:23] C-S-B: I tried reinstalling grub but I don't think it worked. [05:23] boot the live cd then su mount /etc/sda then cd to /boot/menu-list and edit the file [05:23] !past [05:23] Sorry, I don't know anything about past [05:23] !pastpain [05:23] Sorry, I don't know anything about pastpain [05:23] i did [05:23] !pastepain [05:23] Sorry, I don't know anything about pastepain [05:23] ?

And then suddenly grub just borks up and I can't do anything. Why is Ubuntu so perfect in every aspect, but then just a few things completely mess everything up? ;_; [05:33] try it [05:33] yes [05:33] Dacvak: You lost grub when you reinstalled windows, you mean? [05:33] No. [05:33] Grub was fine. I even configured it to dual boot. [05:34] this is my problem to [05:34] Dacvak: That's wierd. [05:34] i noticed you it canthus13 [05:34] Dacvak: What happened then? What's the problem? [05:34] dude don't dual boot with windows if you don't know what you are doing [05:34] i lost grub then i renstal grub now i cant find the windows partation and i cant log to windows [05:34] All I did was normally shut down my laptop about an hour ago, and when I booted it back up, grub didn't work anymore.

[05:36] i have completely removed windows and installed ubuntu, so i hope you can get my sound workin [05:36] yes [05:37] Dammit. Somehow the freaking screencap thing infinitely kept taking screens and I had to shut down. [05:37] th0r: i did, it says the driver isnt in the xorg.conf ... A) my /etc/X11/xorg.conf is very bare, it doesnt look like the real conf, and B) is there some reason it wouldnt have been installed by default? [05:37] This is Dacvak, by the way. [05:37] How can I get my optical S/PDIF output to work? I'm using an ASUS with NVidia Chipset motherboard. [05:37] Im rebooting in livecd now.

[05:45] dre360: I located my menu.lst file. [05:45] i'm trying to get a cron job to run daily on a server but the only time the job runs is when there is a user logged into it. We can't have a user logged in all the time so how do you get a cron job to run with no user logged in? [05:46] did you all update your kernel [05:46] canthus13, i'm at terminal :p [05:46] from the exploit [05:46] Ace__: Hmm. Just thought of something. Line jack sense won't be an option with pulseaudio. :( [05:46] dre360: Actually this just happened after I updated Ubuntu. [05:46] what would that mean? [05:46] i've lost the ability to run commands via ssh. all i get is "sudo: unable to execute /bin/su: Input/output error" for example [05:46] Now that I think about it, I updated Ubuntu, then magically grub no longer worked. [05:47] FactoringHumanit you place script in /etc/cron.daily [05:47] Ace__: Gimme a minute. [05:47] ubuntu make's a backup of the menu list before anything [05:47] sure [05:47] Ace__: Try sound with headphones and see if it works. [05:47] SnakDoc well the thing is we need it to run at 3 am and not midnight so i used crontab to do it [05:47] just a sec [05:48] Wait, I have access to my hard drive but it's not mounted. [05:48] no luck canthus13 [05:48] dre360: Where can I find that backup? [05:48] what version is your ubuntu [05:48] Ace__: Ok. It's prolly not a jack sensing issue then. [05:49] 9.04 64bit [05:49] FactoringHumanit create script to test time and run it hourly then?? i don't know past that never had anything that was that time sensitive [05:49] server [05:49] really makes no sense to me, no kind of sound is playing [05:49] give me a min [05:49] SnakDoc i guess that could work basically just add in a couple lines of time checking code and put it in cron.hourly [05:50] FactoringHumanit that was my guess i never knew that crontab require a user to be logged in so.. [05:50] cron doesn't require a user to be logged in [05:50] i've lost the ability to run commands via ssh. all i get is "sudo: unable to execute /bin/su: Input/output error" for example [05:50] Ace__: Not sure where to go from here. Try putting up a post on ubuntuforums.org. More people will have a chance to look at it. [05:51] :/ [05:51] neither did i but even testing to have it run every minute i would only get results if there was someone logged in to the server [05:51] hi when I open gedit from the console is there anyway to detach it from that console so i can use it for other things [05:51] * canthus13 couldn't find anything else that would apply.

[05:52] FactoringHumanit: it's probably a PATH issue when a user is not logged in [05:52] MySecondChoiceIS: Runs it in the background. [05:52] and it outputs a number is that PID? === crd1b is now known as crdlb [05:53] MySecondChoiceIS: "detach it from that console so i can use it for other things" [05:53] charlie@charlie-desktop:~/Documents/OpenGL$ gedit & [05:53] [1] 15207 [05:53] MySecondChoiceIS: Not sure. use ps to find out. :) [05:53] firecrotch: so where would i try putting it then? just in the root directory or would /etc be better? [05:53] someone is muslim here? [05:54] MySecondChoiceIS: Jusgt tried it, and apparently so. [05:54] I've did all the usual things, I've installed the latest graphics drivers, attempted to configure them. but every time I do it, system won't boot into desktop. Only thing I can do then is reinstall the complete os. [05:54] FactoringHumanit: well, you could make your script use absolute paths in it, or at the top of your crontab, you can set the PATH variable [05:55] Hey all, I'm running Jaunty on a Powerbook G4, ppc. When I attempt to logout of the gui, shutdown, reboot, sleep, etc., the powerbook hangs at a black screen and never completes the command. I have updated the OS, and searched the web, to no avail. Any pointers on where to get started to fix this problem? [05:55] i've lost the ability to run commands via ssh. all i get is "sudo: unable to execute /bin/su: Input/output error" for example [05:55] firecrotch: i'm pretty sure i'm using an absolute path to it the path is /home/jerry/scripts/del/
