[00:16] I'm thinking about moving DNS from Windows 2003 to Linux [00:16] What's wrong with OpenDNS? [00:17] shamm: That would do it. There would be no difference. [00:17] is it me or is apple blocking streaming video again? [00:17] Or, little difference, anyway [00:17] majuk: if there is no difference, then I wouldn't worry about it. [00:17] shamm, obviously anyone in here will reccomend using linux as your server platform, as would i [00:17] rednano12: what do you mean? my ISP is using OpenDNS [00:17] @incorrect what do you mean blocking video streaming? [00:17] shamm: I mean operationally. It would most likely be faster, although I havem [00:17] Never mind. [00:17] My bad.

[00:19] dpratt71: just drag&drop them to the .fonts directory in your /home [00:19] shamm, you could always run virtual machines, linux would be a better platform though, as it much lighter afaik [00:19] b3rz3rk3r: I'm currently moving Spiceworks from windows 2000 server to Ubuntu 9.04 [00:19] odder: thanks; and if there isn't such a directory, just make one? [00:19] running Windows XP guest. [00:19] thanks guys it's a permissions problem the error is ->Could not open location; you might not have permission to open the file. [00:19] even unbuntuzilla installs 3.0.13 [00:20] (of firefox) [00:20] dpratt71: I am not using Karmic, but I guess so, yes [00:20] i have a problem i installed this package "plasma-widget-ktorrent" but the widget doesnt seem to be working when i have Ktorrent open.

[00:23] craCkpot: try installing the latest from Adobe. [00:23] Tell us how that works. [00:23] ironfoot_495, if you get an error saying u dont have privs, or acant access something.. use sudo to gain root [00:23] my version of flash will effect the version of firefox that is installed? [00:23] interesting [00:23] ironfoot_495: Well, obviously your permissions are screwed somewhere. I would guess either the place FF is storing the video or the Flash player itself. [00:24] Doubt it. [00:24] ironfoot_495: Where do you see the error? [00:25] ironfoot_495: Furthermore, have you tried any other flash-driven sites to see what happens? [00:26] majuk: it's in the movie player when i complete the search and I double click on a choosen film I get the error ->Could not open location; you might not have permission to open the file. [00:26] this is retarded [00:26] all i want is to use firefox 3.5.2, yet everything i've tried has installed 3.0.13 [00:26] Does it dump the startup errors to a file somewhere? [00:26] ironfoot_495: Ah, right, I thought you said YouTube. Then the permissions on that file/those folders needs to be altered so your user has access. [00:26] Even Ubuntuzilla? [00:26] yep [00:26] that is what i just tried [00:27] I've looked at some of the totem files and they all have permission??? [00:27] ironfoot_495: lol, what permissions? [00:27] craCkpot: apt-get install firefox-3.5 ? [00:27] ironfoot_495: Not Totem, the actual files your trying to open [00:27] That's what I'd like to know when I log in as root?? === lukjadOOL is now known as lukjad007 [00:28] I'm tyring to look at movies that I find on youtube and this is the error that it gives me? [00:28] I asked a question earlier but didn't get an answer so I will ask once more before I go to my grandpa's birthday party. What are the benefits over creating a fresh formatted ext4 partition vs converting an ext3 to ext4. I converted an ext3 the other day into ext4 and I was just curious [00:29] hi, What's the driver for a bluetooth chipset bcm2046? It isn't loading automaticaly [00:29] ok, my problem again (firefox wasn't the reason): after my installation of psb-kernel-source (poulsbo-driver) the monitor freezes all the time plus i cannot switch to another tty... i used this howto: http://tinyurl.com/mhuxth [00:29] yep tried that [00:29] using movie player so that's why I'm confused?? [00:29] any error coming from apt-get? [00:29] Polt: ext4 is faster, but a bit more buggy. [00:29] craCkpot: I think you did something wrong with ubuntuzilla. I just installed with ubuntuzilla and everyting is fine [00:29] shamm: was this for me ? [00:30] how can i do something wrong? [00:30] I don't know where to find the error that why I'm asking if anyone has had this problem before?? [00:30] to crackpot -- sorry lenina [00:30] craCkpot: Same here. [00:30] Try redoing it. [00:30] rednano12 is there an advantage to converting to ext4 vs a fresh partition ? [00:30] it installed thunderbird no problem [00:30] I'm not really sure. [00:30] trying it again [00:30] craCkpot: cool. [00:30] apt-get install -f firefox-3.5 [00:30] I have heard that a fresh ext4 is better but I just didn't know why [00:31] also shamm you might be interested in ubuntutweak because you can get the development version of firefox. I have 3.5.3pre and I like it so far no real problems [00:31] hmm [00:31] Hello, I'm trying to install 9.04 on my IBN NetVista 2276 and it's at the hard disk scanning, it got done, but then it spits out an error showing "??? ???" [00:31] IBM* [00:31] Polt{laptop}: well, the thing is that if you convert an existing ext3 to ext4 only newly written files will make use of the advanced features of ext4 [00:32] craCkpot: did you run ubuntuzilla.py, after installing ubuntuzilla? [00:32] thats why i am waiting to convert until just before the upgrade to karmic [00:32] jeiworth_ I had heard that before but I did not know for sure [00:32] of course [00:32] like i said it installed thunderbird no problem [00:32] has anyone an idea ? [00:32] The following extra packages will be installed: [00:32] firefox-3.0 firefox-3.0-branding [00:33] those are the 2 lines from ubuntuzilla [00:33] What should I install so that I can print to pdf? [00:33] @KittyBoots: do you mean convert ? [00:34] KittyBoots: do you mean saving a file to pdf? [00:34] Hmm.. [00:34] KittyBoots: openoffice has it included, my kubuntu also brings a pdf printer with it by default [00:34] openoffice can do that. [00:34] jeiworth_ shamm lenina: I want to print from firefox to a pdf [00:35] what jeiworth_ says [00:35] craCkpot: Try running this, exactly. [00:35] ubuntuzilla.py -a install -p firefox [00:35] lol [00:35] KittyBoots: i just chose "print to file" and then pdf [00:35] allreight, gotta go, cy@ll [00:35] what command do you think i was running? i got it from ubuntuzilla's Wikki page [00:36] You'd be surprised. [00:36] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion [00:36] Try the manual install then. [00:36] cya jeiworth_ [00:36] whats a 500mW usb wireless card lol [00:36] i have downloaded the package from getfirefox.com [00:36] sounds dangerous [00:36] which is what ubuntu said [00:36] ? [00:37] brb -- rebooting with new kernel [00:37] i can install 3.5 from synaptic, but it uses the code name and that bothers me for some reason [00:37] shiretoko or something like that [00:37] Shiretoko? [00:37] yeah [00:38] craCkpot: There's a reason that it uses the code name though [00:38] i *really* need suggestions - i need my laptop for work and it's very unpleasent that i can only do stuff for about 5min [00:38] !ff35 | craCkpot [00:38] craCkpot: Firefox 3.5 Final is available for Jaunty by installing the package firefox-3.5 and firefox-3.5-gnome-support | FF3.5 is referred to as Shiretoko in your UI, see http://is.gd/1reB3 for an explanation | Hardy & Intrepid: http://is.gd/1jkNY [00:38] ouch [00:39] sorry, bad english (i'm german) [00:39] -for [00:39] lenina: what happens after 5 minutes? [00:39] so basically because the official browser is FF3.0, they use the codename? [00:39] hi all, test [00:40] craCkpot. [00:40] firecrotch: monitor freezes, no tty or anything else - seems that it only happens, when i run memory-intensive programs like firefox [00:40] craCkpot: Yes [00:40] test ok ? [00:40] craCkpot: Yes, but I have no idea why UbuntuZilla ain't working. [00:40] Try posting a thread in their forums. [00:40] back...

Go. [00:50] NET||abuse, sudo aptitude install mozilla-plugin-vlc [00:50] thats what i ment, alsamixer is fine [00:50] firecrotch, please keep on topic [00:50] sumo_su, sudo aptitude install gparted; then resize your partition down to smallest it can be, create ext3 in slack space, migrate your data, delete your ext4, expand ext3, done [00:50] khermans: would it be a problem if I move DNS/DHCP from windows 2003 AD (Doain Controller master) [00:51] hi, i see too many mailing lists on the lists.blender.org, which one should i sign up for general advice on blender's code?

[00:52] firefox doesn't start either [00:52] shamm, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ActiveDirectoryHowto [00:52] GuidMorrow, it could be a graphics card driver issue [00:52] plagman [00:52] thanks, -- reading.. [00:52] well, does it matter? do I need to run recovery mode and run a command? [00:52] ? [00:53] firecrotch, http://www.PlentyOfFish.com [00:53] sumo_su: the only way I know of to go from ext4 to ext3 is to backup the ext4 data and restore to an ext3 partition. [00:53] GuidMorrow, no, you need to identify if there is a better a driver for your model [00:53] is tethering illegal [00:53] I have nvidia driver 180.44 [00:53] khermans: No thank you, I've run into my share of psychos there :( [00:53] hmm I would prefer Windows 2003 to keep AD while Linux run DNS/DHCP [00:53] ? [00:54] GuidMorrow, I am not familiar with nvidia drivers, but I believe you have several versions of the driver you can try [00:54] losher: well my installation is in ext4 so i'll jus stick with it [00:54] I love patata [00:54] shamm: You shouldn't have any problems, I did the same thing [00:54] sumo_su, there is no problem on using ext4...

[00:54] sumo_su: might as well, not worth the bother of downgrading, though I wouldn't choose ext4 personally... [00:55] no bot, funny guys on the channel [00:55] joaopinto: well i had a corrupted system file that caused quite some trouble... ppl told me that might be data corruption due to ext4 [00:55] shamm: granted I have a small, small network [00:55] there is here any guy from Australia ?

[00:56] !au > tuxforce [00:56] -s [00:56] tuxforce, please see my private message [00:56] losher: ok [00:56] bazhang, tnk very much [00:56] sumo_su, I am using ext4 for quite some time, never had troubles, I always trust my data to beackups, not to filesystems, hw failures are much more likely than a filesystem corruption :) [00:56] NET||abuse, its a poorly coded website [00:56] losher: will I be able to transfer the DHCP/DNS settings to linux? [00:56] losher: do I need to convert anything in the process? [00:56] NET||abuse, but you can utilize this addon https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3006 [00:56] works for me [00:57] shamm, you will need to learn how to setup a dns/dhcp server first, that will give you all the answers [00:57] joaopinto: thats kinda what i thought... cant be that difficult to code an upgraded FS and make it so solid that it doesnt mess up your data:) [00:57] shamm: unlikely, but I'm no windows expert. Maybe someone on ##windows can help? Also try googling for migrating service from windows to Ubuntu.. [00:57] i think I have only one minute left -- did i solve 5 questions or not [00:57] ? [00:57] joaopinto: I've set up that server before -- starting from scratch, but not in the existing environment [00:58] khermans, ah, not a bad idea, i'll give it a chance. [00:58] ok, I'm in the X-Server settings, do I need to enable V-blank? [00:58] losher: Aha... -- migrating -- that was the word I was looking for [00:58] doing google [00:58] *sync to V-blank? [00:58] khermans, i'll count mine as solved :) [00:58] +1, yay! [00:58] sometimes I hate it when English is my 2nd language [00:59] shamm: you're doing fine. At least you're not American... [00:59] losher: I'm American :) [00:59] lol [00:59] khermans, hmm, unfortunately that download helper doesn't work for this site... [00:59] American Sign Language is my first language -- I'm deaf [01:00] hit alt+f4 by mistake [01:00] shamm: interesting. I find Americans speak the worst English... [01:00] who privmsg'd me?

[01:28] binskipy2u: use a text editor such as nano, vim, or emacs [01:28] fuzzybunny: Hmmm... how are you trying to connect> [01:28] binskipy2u: The repository you add has to be valid for the software, then you can run update and install from the clie as normal.

[01:30] and it be 4.3.0 [01:30] binskipy2u, ask in #kubuntu yet? [01:30] fuzzybunny: Nevermind, that's not really important. If it won't establish until you run ARP -a or he pings you, that means you're not getting an ARP table entry for him without forcing one. I'm not sure what would cause that, unless you have conflicting DNS servers or something strange. [01:31] majuk, even if I just ping his machine I cannot ping it unless I do arp -s or until he pings me [01:31] binskipy2u: 'kubuntu-desktop' is the 'kde' desktop enviroment package.. but Ive no idea on the versions that are inthe repos..

[01:40] ```tsay [01:40] xD [01:40] jocelynm2: for my machines it normally says the slower speed,s then it throttles up as needed. often so quickly i rarely notice it going up/back down [01:41] overcod3: solamente ingles. Intenta #ubuntu-es [01:41] zyrell: tell it to the channel please. [01:41] jocelynm2: how do you know it doesn't go up automatically? [01:41] Ingsoc: gparted can theoretically resize file systems without data loss, in practice i don't trust it ;p [01:41] Dr_Willis: I realize this, $ cpufreq-info reports a minimum and a maximum of 600mhz for governor "ondemand" [01:41] I recall back in Slackware days where I can setconsolefont my VT -- what is binary for that in ubuntu? [01:41] DigitalKiwi: have you had problems in the past? [01:41] gracias losher [01:41] mobile systems are designed to underclcok themselves when not under a load so as to save battery and prevent overheating [01:42] Ingsoc: yes [01:42] jocelynm2: do you have anything that shows the current cpu speed [01:42] Yeah, the gnome panel applet [01:42] ok [01:42] jocelynm2: dual core cpu or single? [01:42] LinuxGold: Hmm.. i rember doing that recently.. i forget the command however. 'setfont' 'setconsolefont' or somthing like that [01:42] single [01:43] DigitalKiwi: resizing an existing windows partition? [01:43] jocelynm2: open a terminal, type in "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null" [01:43] when i start ubuntu a message error appears, it says "file damage please reinstall windows root system32 hal.dll [01:43] speed *should* go up to maximum [01:43] resizing any partition [01:43] And they said high-school spanish would never be good for anything. [01:43] DigitalKiwi: How long ago? What version of gparted? [01:43] Ben64, one sescond [01:44] I tried this, as per recommendation of a forum thread -- $ sudo cpufreq-set -g ondemand -d 600000 -u 1600000 -c 0 [01:44] how can I start another gpg agent when the one I had running turned into a zombie ? [01:44] Ingsoc: i don't recall [01:45] DigitalKiwi: Are we talking years ago or recently? [01:45] Ben64, it's running in my terminal, no change on the cpufreq [01:45] If I have a windows partition, can I "boot" that up as a VM from inside ubuntu? or something like that? [01:45] the makers themselves say to backup all data ;p [01:45] losher: that created my configure file, and now I"m getting configure errors...go figure. Thanks for the help though :) [01:45] umm, a few months with whatever the newest gparted was at the time [01:45] c_korn: I have no clue what happens when you try to kill it [01:46] jocelynm2: try "sudo cpufreq-selector -g performance" [01:46] one should alsays 'backup all data' [01:46] Irishmanluke: it just "lives" http://pastebin.com/d2afe651b [01:47] hmm now I am nervous [01:47] Ok, so i'm having some problems with networking on Ubuntu, netowrking will not work up until i get onto the desktop, and i know the service starts way before that. Now a boot will take about 4 minutes because it gets stuck [01:47] c_korn: kill -s 9? [01:47] Phmm [01:47] squiggie: the fact that there was no configure file suggests to me that you got a development version that's still being worked on and not ready for general use. Poke around the web page a bit more... [01:47] Irishmanluke: nope [01:48] beatbreaker: wireless or wired? (always good to mention which is it) [01:48] hey guys [01:48] Wired [01:48] Ingsoc: it's not that it always fails, or that it doesn't work, it's just don't do it on stuff you care a lot about, new installs means you shouldn't have too many problems in both a performing the actions and b recovering if they fail [01:48] how do u get skype to work on linux [01:48] im a 100% n00b [01:48] beatbreaker: static or dynamic ip? anything special about the network? [01:49] nimrod_1491: i found/installed teh skype package from the Medibuntu repositorys I recall. [01:49] i always suggest using a static ip, i don't trust that dhcp character [01:49] Dr_Willis, set to static from the router. I would love to set the static address from Ubuntu but it's impossible in 9.04 [01:49] k [01:49] ty [01:49] ^_^ [01:49] beatbreaker: cannot be impossible :| [01:49] i wasted 4 days trying to get it to work [01:49] Ben64: it hangs at the terminal [01:49] I never use static ip any more. - well.. actually my router lets me set basically a 'rember forever' based on mac setting. :) so the ips are static.. but the dns and other stuff get changed as needed. [01:50] DigitalKiwi: Yeah but I did the install about 1 year ago. I guess I'll have to clean out my thimb drive [01:50] Ben64: nevermind, it completed the command [01:50] oh i thought you said fresh installs >.> [01:50] beatbreaker: 'set to static from the router' sounds like a contradiction in terms... [01:50] yeah i do the same, from the router. I also use Arch Linux and it was very easy to set it from the computer [01:50] Ben64: Performance is now selected in the applet [01:50] woot arch [01:50] and still 600mhz [01:50] DigitalKiwi: Well it was a fresh install when I did it. ;) [01:50] hehe [01:50] ;p; [01:50] lol [01:51] look i'm not a computer graduate, i taught myself everything i'm sorry if i don't know my terms properley [01:51] running dd [01:51] the fact is that i've got a problem getting the service [networking] to run properley on boot on my Ubuntu machine [01:51] Dr_Willis: I *always* use static for my desktops. DNS gets proxied through the router so it never changes on the desktop. [01:51] and it's frustrating, because all of my apps keep locking up [01:52] beatbreaker: sorry, sometimes we nerds get a bit sidetracked... [01:52] what can i do to fix this? [01:52] geek > nerd [01:52] nerds don't get girlz [01:52] DigitalKiwi, true [01:53] they get nerd girls [01:53] !offtopic [01:53] wassamatter ubottu? cpu got your tongue? [01:53] please take chat elsewhere [01:54] So.... networking service huh, who can help? It boots, then hangs when i'm trying to mount a network share THEN the network starts only when i reach the desktop [01:54] oi networkmanager? [01:54] beatbreaker: if you need the network configured before network manager kicks in at the desktop, "man 5 interfaces" to see how to setup /etc/network/interfaces [01:54] oh btw [01:54] i downloaded it off the site [01:55] skype [01:55] never seen networkmanager start a network without logging into X [01:55] that is [01:55] beatbreaker: what kind of network share? the desktop is launched concurently with the other services.. it shouldent start 'suddendly' when the desktop loads up [01:55] or well wireless, not sure about wired, think it does wired... [01:55] Any of you happen to know the command to run the Nvidia X Server Settings panel? [01:55] <3 wicd [01:55] The desktop has the tools for the wireless passwords.. but it canbe setup where its not needed i recall. [01:55] nvidia-settings ? [01:55] Dr_Willis, it's in fstab [01:56] Hey that did it, thanks [01:56] yw [01:56] beatbreaker: samba or nfs share? [01:56] Dr_Willis, samba share. [01:56] How do i install ubuntu-9.04-netbook-remix-i386.img onto a USB flash drive [01:56] e370 unetbootin [01:56] wheres that [01:56] beatbreaker: ive had some quirky issues with samba shares getting auto mounted.. I ended up mounting them from rc.local after a 'sleep 20' command. that let the network be sure to be up befor trying [01:57] in terminal? [01:57] blackest_knight: if it's a .img doesn't he just use dd? [01:57] You DONT use unetbooting to install a .img file to flash drive [01:57] ^5 Dr_Willis [01:57] the ubuntu UNR homepage mentions the proper ways to isntall a .img to a flash drive. [01:57] Ben64: Any ideas?? [01:57] i use it for an iso [01:57] Dr_Willis, that's a good idea [01:57] beatbreaker: comment out the share from your fstab and see if that solves the boot delay. If so, that will prove Dr_Willis theory, and also give you a workaround for the moment... [01:58] img is NOT an iso file, its a flash 'image' [01:58] So, the normal advice for partitioning is that swap should be at least the same size as your RAM, maybe 1.5 or 2 t imes. [01:58] jocelynm2: not sure, i've never had an issue with frequency scaling not working at all [01:58] do you have a link to the guid? [01:58] beatbreaker: i also have had Huge issues with shutdowns taking forever whith mounted samba shares.. theres a way to run ascript on shutdown that forces the shares to unmount also. [01:58] What do you do when your RAM is 192 GB? [01:58] ok i was thinkin he wanted to install netbook remix to a drive to install it [01:58] puff: ....what? [01:58] e370: check the ubuntu.com UNR page. [01:58] it's very frustrating [01:58] puff: use it [01:59] majuk: Yeah, that's what I said :-). [01:59] puff: You have almost 200gigs of RAM? /Awesome/. [01:59] puff: sell microsoft === ballzee- is now known as Sinister [01:59] you call up all your geek friends and brag about how much ram you have [01:59] c_korn: let's see you could try to kill the parent process [01:59] majuk: That's the machine I'm installing the RAID on. [01:59] but my problem is that network will only start when i get into my desktop, it doens't start when the other services start [01:59] puff: in that case, you probably don't need a lot of swap, since you hopefully never run out of RAM [01:59] i think fstab is part of it too ofcourse [01:59] Yah, but knowing these guys... [01:59] It's software to calculate radiation scatter. [01:59] puff: depending on available space, i'd say like 2GB [01:59] Irishmanluke: how do I find the parent process ? [01:59] beatbreaker: try setting up /etc/network/interfaces [02:00] http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-swap-space.html puff [02:00] do motherboards support 200gb of ram lol [02:00] beatbreaker: network manager wont manage until you login, but the networking initscript will handle it if you do it with the interfaces file [02:00] e370: some do, yes [02:00] 16 gb apparently [02:00] puff: I would still think 200gigs would be enough to crunch those kinds of numbers. [02:00] 16gb is the max supported atm [02:00] im sure [02:00] http://xkcd.com/619/ related [02:00] majuk: Depends on how fast you want the answer. [02:01] beatbreaker: different services have different run levels you need to get networking to start at a low enough runlevel [02:01] e370: someone asked about that yesterday. Do you have a cite for that claim? [02:01] blackest_knight: you're overloading the term runlevel [02:01] I want to get it to start early because it has to send a WOL command to the server, then it boots into XBMC [02:01] * LinuxGold is trying to figure out which file to download for setfont similiar to monospace size 9 [02:02] hell no lol just most boards ive looked at in the past supported upto16gb of ram, but the way things changed i wouldnt be suprised... [02:02] e370: Maybe by /standard/ mobos, I've worked with specialty equipment with 50+ gigs before. [02:02] Although never anything close to 200. That's a bit nuts. [02:02] why would u even need 200gb of it [02:02] Can someone help me get Audacity to record input on a Lenovo S10 netbook running 9.04? Google has been no help. [02:02] maco: probably [02:02] majuk: e370: well, those aren't desktops. They're megaservers... [02:02] e370: Calculate particle scatter of radiation something? :D [02:02] beatbreaker: what is the S level of your network filesystem in /etc/rcS.d/ ? [02:03] beatbreaker: networking is S40 on mine so i would hope your FS is somewhere after S40? [02:03] losher: Indeed. Puff doesn't seem to be working with a desktop. [02:03] blackest_knight: all runlevels on ubuntu (save 0=shutdown, 6=reboot) are identical [02:03] only one machine i know would need such memory Hadron partical accelirator in sweeden... [02:04] I'm a little scared of what I'm going to find, to be honest... they didn't even ask me for advice in building this, let alone ask me to ask my friends who deal with hardware all the time (which is what I would have done anyway :-) [02:04] fstab is read/mounted befor the networking i imagine. since some of the /whatever dirs may be needed to boot up [02:04] For all I know, I'll show up and they'll have a MB that maxes out at 32GB. [02:04] I guess, first thing I'll do is look at /proc, etc, before I commence to reinstalling with RAID. [02:04] puff: did you see the link i sent? [02:05] also i would like to subscribe to your news letter about this computer [02:05] DigitalKiwi: Yeah :-). [02:05] DigitalKiwi: I'll let you know how it turns out. [02:05] e370: the hadron is in switzerland....the one WITH the alps [02:05] thanks for the help -- I'm gonna continue trying to get it to work correctly [02:05] ok maco i bow to your superior knowledge but doesnt it depend on what run level your at as to you having a shell or a running x server [02:06] th0r: the hadron runs ubuntu ? [02:06] i ment swissland lol [02:06] blackest_knight: it will when they upgrade it [02:06] blackest_knight: 'GDM' is just another service - ubuntu dosent do the runlevele stuff like other/older disrtos do. [02:07] Irishmanluke: ok, the parent process was gdm obviously :P [02:07] blackest_knight: other linuxes would run at level 3 for shell only, and 5 for x11. Ubuntu messed with all that and runs at level 2 by default, which includes an X server [02:07] Irishmanluke: but now it is restarted too. thanks for your help [02:07] ok i admit it i'm too old :P [02:08] gdm is one of the last services loaded. thus X should start as the other serices are all finishing up. [02:08] You Could launch gdm from rc.local if you need X to be the absoutely LAST thing to load. [02:08] blackest_knight: I'm so old I remember when spam didn't exist. Or browsers. Or transistors... [02:09] i remember when there was no security on the internet [02:09] my first stereo was mono and i first blew myself up with an 8 track [02:09] losher: back in old days -- amiga, intellivision.. [02:09] http://xkcd.com/624/ [02:09] Can someone help me get Audacity to record input on a Lenovo S10 netbook running 9.04? Google has been no help. [02:09] my second hard disk is ext3 file format and while in intsalling xubuntu i assigned its mount point as /home/Foldername.But after the copmletetion of xubuntu installation.. in File System 's Home Folder it only showing Folder Name.It contains only Lost And Found Folder.But i can't access my second hard disk [02:09] i started with a zx81 without the 16k ram pack [02:10] blackest_knight: bah, 8-track. Dang newfangled gizmo technology. I remember b&w TV... [02:10] Can someone help me with this command? sudo iptables-save >/etc/iptables.rules result: Permission denied [02:10] Ben64: wow I do too! wasn't that yesterday? [02:10] sanjay: i hope you dident tell it to format the filesystem during install. [02:10] losher: I'm so old I remember how breathtakingly fast 1200 baud modems seemed. [02:10] hi guys [02:10] from UK [02:10] sanjay: figure out what device it is, try mounting it manually somewhere. [02:10] would appreciate some help if anyone is free [02:10] ask [02:10] vaio: spill the question [02:10] puff: I telecommuted with a 2400 baud modem and a vt100. It was state of the art... [02:10] well dont' spill it that's messy [02:11] yeah, 56k was the latest [02:11] DigitalKiwi: lol [02:11] i am pretty new to linux, and have been playin around with it on my sony netbook (pcg-tr5mp)...using xbuntu [02:11] losher: you and your newfangled vt100! I'll take my trusty old teleray t10 any day. [02:11] Actually I won't. [02:11] i would llike to know how i can get the Fn keys working again [02:11] But I remember vt52 :-). [02:11] losher: i remember b&w too mainly coz my dad wouldnt pay for colour [02:11] Dr.Willis: i don't know how to mount manually.. i installed mount manager and gaprted partition manager.. but.. i can't mount it.. can u pls help me on this regard [02:11] vaio: Don't take any wooden nickles. [02:11] You mean media keys like Stop, Play, Next, and so forth? [02:12] nope [02:12] blackest_knight: remember the little white dot when you switched off. And 'warming up' the tv 15 minutes before a program? [02:12] laptop function keys [02:12] sanjay: ' the 'mount' command. sudo mkdir /media/TEST sudo mount /dev/SOMTHING /media/TEST [02:12] Fn - near the window key [02:12] Alright. I am runing 9.10, and in the middle of a bunch of updates, I guess my computer crashed, because I first rebooted into "please fsck the disk" mode, and after I fsck'd it, it rebooted into a tty and when I tried to start gdm, it gave me a bunch of errors about not being able to secure a name, and therefore being unable to start. [02:12] Emacs was also good for finding the bugs in your vt100 emulation. [02:12] Fn+f5 = increases breightness [02:12] etc [02:12] I remember how overjoyed I was when I found out that the kermit modem client had good vt52 emulation. [02:12] Fn+f4 inc volume [02:12] puff: nice one... [02:13] Why am I getting Permission denied when running a sudo command? [02:13] So, a quick answer that might help me is, where are the X server error logs? [02:13] i thought the latest kernal etc came with the modules [02:13] any ideas? [02:13] My brother figured out how to reprogram the vt100 answerback buffer. [02:13] alexnet: give details to the channel. [02:13] Back in college. [02:13] drakonik: /var/log/Xorg.log* [02:13] drakonik: /var/log/Xorg.0.log [02:13] vaio, Brightness is usually handled in the BIOS (although evidently not if it isn't working for you). Volume should indeed be handled by your desktop environment. [02:13] So, for a brief time, if you fingered his account, it logged you off. [02:13] how can i find the native block size of a storage device? [02:13] sorry i'm still here working on the netowrk, i just was on the phone, I'm going to try to edit rc.local now, and follow the rest of the gueestions people have made down [02:14] puff: I remember that. It wasn't popular at work... [02:14] losher: yes and watching the american ussr linkup in orbit, not so sure about the moonlandings thou [02:14] alexnet: try sudo su and try it [02:14] When running sudo iptables-save >/etc/iptables.rules I recieve the message : -bash: /etc/iptables.rules: Permission denied. Any idea why? [02:14] vaio, Fire up a terminal and start the program xev. Press the keys and see what kind of output you get. [02:14] alright, time to skim the X logs and see what I can find [02:14] ok thanks [02:14] wow ubuntu really is for old people [02:14] are ubuntu updates important? [02:14] benkay can i pm ..its kinda hectic in here [02:14] naw updating is for wimps [02:14] e370: only oif you consider security and stability imporntant [02:15] much better to leave buggy code on your systems [02:15] =) [02:15] if it works why break it with newer more buggy code? [02:15] look at xorg ;p [02:15] blackest_knight, that worked... whats sudo su? [02:15] blackest_knight and how do i get out of my leet # prompt? [02:15] DigitalKiwi: well, sometimes it doesn't work... [02:15] exit [02:15] blackest_knight: not in the debian world. outside debian, runlevel 2&4 are meaningless (ubuntu runs in 2). 3 = text login, no gui. 5= gui login. that doesnt mean you pass through runlevel 3 on the way to runlevel 5 though [02:15] alexnet: CTRL+D [02:15] hrm [02:16] it's the leetest way to get out of a terminal [02:16] Okay, the log isn't tell me anything useful [02:16] anyone kno of a good program like dreamweaver in windows [02:16] blackest_knight: in the ubuntu, 2-5 are all the same thing [02:16] ritztech: kompozer? [02:16] let's ask drakonik what he thinks about updates [02:16] haha [02:16] so yes its important to update [02:16] :P [02:16] Updates are a good thing, as long as your computer is stable enough to complete them safely. [02:16] Dr_willis: [02:16] it is not working [02:17] hi everybody ! [02:17] my pc is about 2004/2005 dated :\ [02:17] would it work if i install it on the Kde [02:17] that would make sense if they dropped the other runlevels [02:17] Mine is not, which is why I'm in this situation. The xorg logs aren't teling me anything definite. I'm not seeing any "ERROR: CANNOT DO THIS" lines in the logs [02:17] Hm. Is it safe to remove the logs? Or at least rename them? [02:17] ritztech: most programs that start/include a K in their name are from the KDE development group [02:17] sanjay: on irc you want to be verbose, and concise. the phrase 'its not working' tells me very little. You may want to research how the 'mount' command and 'linux mount fileysstems' works. I just HOPE you dident accidently format your data drive [02:18] drakonik: might check /var/log/messages and dmesg [02:18] Hrm. [02:18] Ben64: what is? [02:18] Alright th0r [02:18] thats kinda nice to know even though it shows it for ubuntu [02:18] alexnet: you'll like this: it runs iptables-save as root, then returns to the regular user to write the output to /etc/iptables.rules, which fails because regular users can't write to /etc [02:18] sagaci: huh? [02:19] Does anybody have any experience running Medieval War II under WINE in Ubuntu Linux? Or any advice for running any Windows based games under Linux? [02:19] maco, you suggested to have a look in /etc/network/interfaces - what should i do there? it looks like this now: [02:19] auto lo [02:19] iface lo inet loopback [02:19] oh no [02:19] SpiceMan: kompozer isn't kde [02:19] SealedWithAKiss: check winehq.org for lists of games and programs that work with wine [02:19] in dmesg, xorg is having a bunch of segfaults [02:19] Oh, this is bad [02:19] it's not even Qt [02:19] beatbreaker: setup a stanza for the interface you want to connect with. "man 5 interfaces" explains the syntax [02:20] drakonik: then maybe you shouldn't look [02:20] haha [02:20] right thats that sorted now where do i find this usb-imagewriter? [02:20] DigitalKiwi: I've just found out that XD [02:20] beatbreaker: it should setup the interface at boot instead of waiting for the network manager gui to initialize. the flip side is that it will not be able to be modified using the network manager gui anymore. youll have to use the file [02:20] SealedWithAKiss: all i can do is recomend looking at the codeweavers site its pretty good at showing what might work [02:20] SpiceMan: kompozer = mozilla webpage creator [02:20] drakonik: just a shot in the dark, try reinstalling xorg from the cli [02:20] Hm. Can I install the x server and such fresh? [02:20] e370: http://www.ubuntu.com/GetUbuntu/download-netbook --> how to install UNR link [02:20] haha [02:21] My thoughts exactly, th0r [02:21] My main concern was keeping the config [02:21] While wiping the binaries and writing them over fresh [02:21] Alright, worth a shot. [02:21] your sentence would better be constructed, even though this is less the case now... "most programs in kde start with K" [02:21] alexnet: try [02:21] maco, i'm very happy to have it managed in the CLI, i don't like the GUI anyway [02:21] ERC> alexnet: try sudo bash -c "iptables-save > /etc/iptables.rules" if you're still listening. And if you're not, your attention span is too short... [02:21] drakonik: sudo apt-get remove xorg && sudo apt-get install xorg...should keep the configs and dump the binaries [02:22] maco, is there a readme about it somewhere too? I'm reading the MAN now [02:22] losher, the sudo su stuff ran and worked, should i try that still? === Shinobi is now known as Guest5395 [02:22] anybody avail to help me with Wine? [02:22] hm [02:22] beatbreaker: the manpage is all ive used. there's a readme for wpa supplicant that can explain wpa syntax for wireless, but its pretty simple "wpa-ssid linksys" and "wpa-psk thisismypassword" lines [02:22] alexnet: if you have it working, that's fine... [02:22] see, th0r [02:22] That's way better than what I just did [02:23] sudo apt-get remove x* [02:23] D: [02:23] whoo [02:23] does any one know if they fixed the issues with ATI cards using multiple monitors at different resolutions? [02:23] drakonik: well...that WILL clean things up [02:23] Ben64: what's the leetest way to get out of a terminal, i missed it [02:23] losher, will i need to do somethign special like this for the start-up script in the network interface? [02:23] ok i'm having a little problem here, it looks like I can't play mp3s stored locally when I have youtube open and vice versa. [02:24] sagaci: CTRL+D [02:24] wine wont work for me, says I am missing a DLL. When I put the DLL in the folder and run it, it goes crazy and gives me another error [02:24] leetest way? is the x not cool enough for ya? [02:24] how can i shut up an aplication in linux that dont have a silence button? [02:24] sagaci: you create a bash forkbomb and crash your system, that is how i do it [02:24] Dayofswords: mouse is slower than keyboard [02:24] maco, i'm twrrible at netowrking, it's all greek to me. anyway i'm not on wireless thank god [02:24] is there a way to connect to my ubuntu using the COM1 interface? [02:25] beatbreaker: do you use dhcp? [02:25] Okay. [02:25] redrebel: it is probably /dev/ttyS0 or some such...not Com1 [02:25] alexnet: the sudo bash workaround above should work from a script. Test it, of course... [02:25] maco, yeah, but the IP is fixed [02:25] "Connection 1.52 is not allowed to own org.Gnome.Displaymanager due to conflicts in the config file" [02:26] That's the error I get. [02:26] i need to obtain all usb modules and firmware classes [02:26] losher, well im just adding pre-up iptables-restore < /etc/iptables.rules to /network/interfaces... so maybe i should just chmod o+x the iptables.rules? [02:26] How do I add a new application to by running winecfg ? [02:26] DigitalKiwi: nice [02:26] modprobe uhci_hcd [02:26] WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist, it will be ignored in a future release. [02:26] FATAL: Module uhci_hcd not found. [02:26] can anyone tell me what usb modules / firm ware classes i need ? [02:27] beatbreaker: you mean there's a dhcp reservation? [02:27] alexnet: that should be fine, It's not like the rules change very often... [02:27] losher, i'll test it of course... but theoretically speaking now that I have the script saved all im worried about is it beind executed later right? [02:27] Irishmanluke: did it just the other day with my lua script >.> [02:27] DigitalKiwi: what was it :(){:|:&} ? [02:27] epic lulz [02:27] losher okay, thanks [02:27] yeah, well i don't know the technical term for it but the router assigns the mac address the same IP every time [02:28] beatbreaker: ok if the router's assigning it then its dhcp and you dont even need to think hard :) [02:28] redrebel: should be why that interface? [02:28] Another question: ignoring what my router actually does, how does one do the ubuntu-side configuration for a static ip? eg 192.168.1.70 [02:28] beatbreaker: just put "iface eth0 inet dhcp" [02:28] alexnet: easy enought to test, just run iptables -L after a reboot and make sure the rules are all there like they're supposed to be... [02:29] Irishmanluke: a way to bring you a world of pain. [02:29] maco, into interfaces? [02:29] beatbreaker: yep [02:29] beatbreaker: just put that on its own line [02:29] does anyone have a really simple question for me to answer so I can feel smart? [02:29] beatbreaker: if you need it to redo its configuration (dunno why youd need to since its not wireless but meh), "ifdown eth0" and "ifup eth0" are how it works. if youve used red hat this is like /etc/sysconfig/interfaces/if-* (uhh hope i got that path right) [02:30] function hi(a) a = #s * 10; while true do return hi(a) end end; hi("HELLO") [02:30] that was it Irishmanluke [02:30] maco, it looks like this now http://pastebin.com/d5c6a5cf [02:30] hi [02:30] hi [02:30] :D [02:30] the # is about three times faster than string.len so it is optimized [02:30] oi [02:30] alexnet: here is my /etc/network/interfaces file. Just change the addresses for your setup: http://pastebin.com/m2a5e008 [02:31] beatbreaker: looks good [02:31] i have a problem i need install aircrack-ng but when i try to install say this [02:31] not a redhat user unfortunately, just arch and ?buntu [02:31] La versión de `libsqlite3-0' en el sistema es 3.4.2-2. [02:31] aircrack-ng depende de iw; sin embargo: [02:31] El paquete `iw' no está instalado. [02:31] awesome, thanks again losher [02:31] beatbreaker: reboot and give it a try [02:31] maco, rebooting [02:31] Hey Irishmanluke, how many licks does it take to get to the tootsie-roll center of a tootsie-pop? [02:31] How do I determine my Ubuntu version? [02:32] SealedWithAKiss: lsb_release -a [02:32] Ben64: 64? [02:32] christiaaan: ici on parle seulement anglais. Essaie #ubuntu-fr [02:32] Irishmanluke: nope, it's 3 :( [02:32] maco, command not found. [02:32] maco, sorry it worked. [02:32] Ben64: but that's not a power of 2? [02:32] Irishmanluke: so? [02:33] maco, it's 8.04 Hardy. How do I update it? [02:33] christiaaan: oops. se habla solamente ingles acqui. Intenta #ubuntu-fr === _unforgiven512 is now known as unforgiven512-aw [02:33] christiaaan: oops. se habla solamente ingles acqui. Intenta #ubuntu-es [02:33] SealedWithAKiss: you want to go to 8.10? [02:33] okay thank u [02:33] can somebody help me get Wine working? [02:33] Irishmanluke: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZ0epRjfGLw [02:33] maco, how do I update from Hardy to the newest distribution? [02:33] drink wine [02:33] well the memory addresses would be 00 01 and 10 what about 11? [02:33] i wonder what the world would be like if linux based OS's had 50% of the computer market.... [02:33] SealedWithAKiss: system -> administration -> software sources. change it so that itll show all new versions instead of only long term support releases [02:33] SealedWithAKiss: use the upgrade manager [02:34] SealedWithAKiss: you have to go through 8.10 to get to 9.04. skipping's not really supported [02:34] IdleOne: hardy doesnt show non-lts new versions by default [02:34] Dayofswords: this channel would be impossibly full [02:34] maco: right I forgot about that [02:34] hello all, i have a question relating to an SD card... my reader is showing up fine in ubuntu 9.04, but it says there's no media when I insert a brand new microSD card (with SD adapter) [02:34] SealedWithAKiss: once thats done, run the system -> administration -> update manager andtell it to check for updtes. it should then offer you 8.10 [02:34] SealedWithAKiss: why bother. Nothing wrong with 8.04. Nice and stable... [02:35] Does anyone know if there is a way or filesystem for Ubuntu that will list files alphabetical by default? [02:35] maco, Dr_Willis that's beautiful now, perfect! Thank you. The problem now is i've got to put in a umount command on shutdown because unmounting the share takes forever too [02:35] What do I do once am in software sources? [02:35] losher, I fancy upgrading anyway. [02:35] SealedWithAKiss: see the setting in tehre about what kind of updates to show? [02:35] maco, yesah. [02:35] SealedWithAKiss: it should offer like "only long term support releases" or "all new versions" or "dont tell me" i think? [02:36] SealedWithAKiss: the default is long term support releases only. change it to all [02:36] SealedWithAKiss: then make a backup before you do. You won't be the first person to come back to 8.04 after trying 9.04 === Undecided is now known as TannerS [02:36] whiteshep: can you explain a little more what you are trying to accomplish and using what application? [02:36] losher, could the upgrade cause data loss? [02:37] What does this mean? W: GPG error: http://apt.tt-solutions.com edgy Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 06EA41DE4F6C1E86 [02:38] SealedWithAKiss: unlikely, but this group is littered with people whose upgrade went wrong somehow, or who lost sound, or flash stopped working, or wifi stopped working. The sound stuff seems particular stubborn... [02:38] cversion7: I don't think this is really the best command but what does ls /media show [02:38] how can i find the native block size of a storage device? [02:38] Great. gdmsetup and gnome-session all fail with "cannot open display" but refuse to tell me why [02:38] irishmanluke: cdrom cdrom0 cdrom1 floppy floppy0 [02:39] Sylphid: what's the device? [02:39] can anyone help me in putting in a umount command up shutdown? i know what to write but i don't know WHERE it goes [02:39] whiteshep: in a gui, nautilus default is alphabetical starting with folder names [02:39] How do I proceed from here? [02:39] cversion7: ok well it's definately not mounted in /media [02:39] irishmanluke: the sd drive shows up in nautilus, but it says there's no media [02:40] irishmanluke: and the reader shows fine with lsusb [02:40] drakonik: how are you starting them? [02:40] losher, a-data 4G SDHC card [02:40] lstarnes: From the terminal? With AND without sudo [02:40] drakonik: from a graphical terminal, or from one of the system consoles? === jthomas_ is now known as Oponium [02:40] system console [02:40] drakonik: what does "echo $DISPLAY" say? [02:40] I don't have X, I don't have gnome [02:41] lstarnes: Empty string [02:41] hello [02:41] drakonik: X runs under gnome... [02:41] drakonik: what's most likely happening is gdmsetup and gnome-session are failing because DISPLAY is undefined and/or X isn't running [02:42] Yeah. [02:42] Makes sense. === Jared-n810 is now known as jared [02:42] linux kernel -> OS -> X -> windowmanager : [02:42] drakonik: usually DISPLAY is set to :0.0 [02:42] Dr_Willis: Then by that definition, Gnome runs under X. But it's a moot point, and I don't care what runs under what, at the moment, because nothing is running at all === jared is now known as jared-n810 [02:42] lstarnes: Worth a try [02:42] can anyone help me in putting in a umount command up shutdown? i know what to write but i don't know WHERE it goes [02:42] drakonik: you got it backwards.. gnome runs on TOP of X. [02:43] Sylphid: good question. Turns out I don't know the answer, sorry... [02:43] cversion7: sorry I kind of missed that it was a usb sd card reader [02:43] beatbreaker: everything should already get unmounted upon shutdown [02:43] Yeah, we're not clearly defining what "under" or "on top of" means. [02:43] But anyway [02:43] irishmanluke: yeah, i just tried another SD card and it won't mount either [02:43] cversion7: ok [02:43] Ben64, it doesn't myne hangs, Dr_Willis said he had the same problem [02:44] irishmanluke: lsusb shows Bus 001 Device 007: ID 058f:6362 Alcor Micro Corp. Hi-Speed 21-in-1 Flash Card Reader/Writer (Internal/External) [02:44] beatbreaker: whats the problem again? ive frogotten. [02:44] how can install driver 802.11g wireless pci ? [02:44] Dr_Willis, mounted samba share, will hang and not unmount up shutdown [02:44] oh god how do I set the display variable? [02:44] cversion7: what does /var/log/syslog show after you insert the card [02:45] drakonik: export DISPLAY=:0.0 [02:45] beatbreaker: so the share being in fstab dosent affect the network hanging eh> [02:45] ah [02:45] has anyone ever used Compiz fusion on 2 monitors ( i have 2 but i havent hooked it up seems weird though) [02:45] export [02:45] derp [02:46] ritztech: it works here on my nvidia 8800gtsXXX card with 2 monitors [02:46] Irishmanluke: it doesn't have anything listed after i plug it in, last thing was 6 minutes ago in that log [02:46] Okay. Even after exporting the display variable, I'm getting the exact same error [02:46] Dr_Willis, i moved it to rc.local upon your suggestion [02:46] Talking about security conflicts in the config file [02:47] Where can I find some gdm config file dealing with "Security policies"? [02:47] oh wow really how does it run though on the 2nd monitor does it only work on 1 but then you have techinally 8 desktops if you have 4 desktops [02:47] haha [02:47] beatbreaker: try not mounting the share at all perhaps. to prove its a samba issue.. I guess.. elimnate what might be the problem.. .. [02:47] Because that's what's stopping gdm from acquiring whatever name it needs. [02:47] Yea. Um i typed curl in my terminal a couple of times (for my project) and how my computers chopping up? i typed control+c but it's still choppy [02:47] Dr_Willis, i remember you saying that you needed a script to unmount it [02:47] cversion7: what about /var/log/dmesg === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [02:48] ok well how about i'll manually unmount it now, shutdown, and see if it hangs anywhere? [02:48] ritztech: i have a single 'wide' spaning 2 monitors 'desktop' thats using the twinview feature. I have virtual desktops when i jump to them . its the same as a single monitor setup. [02:48] dbdii407: Try 'killall curl' [02:48] Dr_Willis, as above, brb [02:48] Irishmanluke: it also doesn't change when the card is inserted/re-inserted [02:48] losher, my network section doesnt have eth0 it only has lo? is that normal? (i dont have wifi, and its a reall old computer) [02:48] beatbreaker: there can be a script to make it unmount manually, that makes shutdown go faster.. but i dont rember where/how i did it now. [02:48] sweet ill try that [02:48] drakonik, Opps. Forgot to mention, i did that, still choopy and nothing was killed. :X [02:48] I have a small problem, apparently my entire /usr directory has permissions reset to 770. Anyone have any great suggestions about how to reset them to their correct perms? [02:48] i have nvidia how can i tell what model video card i have [02:49] dbdii407: Ah. Interesting. Does ps -aux list anything unusual? [02:49] packages.ubuntu.com is down? [02:49] Also, it'd help to define 'choppy'. [02:49] beatbreaker: shuting down without unmounting it will make the system 'wait' like 60 sec or so - till the server times out i recall. [02:49] Dr_Willis, ah i see [02:49] cversion7: are you positive the reader works? === unforgiven512-aw is now known as unforgiven512 [02:49] Using the 'live cd' is there a 'repair' option? [02:49] Dr_Willis, yeah it seems to be waiting a long time before i get it to close proplerley [02:49] Irishmanluke: works in Windows :) trying not to reboot into that partition [02:50] beatbreaker: thats shoudlent be affecting Boot UP 'times' however.. or was this whole problem You having hangs at 'shutdown' only? [02:51] Question: my /etc/network/interfaces only has an 'auto lo' section... I'm trying to give myself a static ip (and i have the code to do so) but I have no etho section! Do I add an etho? Or is my computer just lo [02:51] irishmanluke: guess i'll reboot and see if it still works :( [02:51] alexnet: you could manually add a section for eth0 [02:51] Dr_Willis, i just fixed the boot up, as you suggested move mount command to rc.local and change interfaces upom marco's suggestion - shutdown still hangs and i guess i'd rather it to just be smooth [02:52] cversion7: yeah sorry I have no clue [02:52] alexnet: you could also try configuration with ifconfig [02:52] irishmanluke: thanks for the help :) [02:52] alexnet: what does ifconfig show? [02:52] beatbreaker: i forget the script/thing to use.. i just never worried about it much it eventually shuts down.. but i just dont rember how i made it quicker [02:53] oh god, I found the gdm config directories [02:53] my ifconfig looks like this http://paste.ubuntu.com/256625/ [02:53] Now I just have to find which one has to do with "Security policies" [02:53] alexnet: lstarnes is right just add it manually [02:53] okay, i'll do that thank you [02:54] Korr: cd to / in a terminal sudo chmod -R 755 usr [02:54] that breaks a lot of stuff that needs +s [02:54] is ifconfig linux's version of ipconfig on windows? (learning still=p) [02:55] Dayofswords: yes [02:55] maco, Dr_Willis ahh actually now i don't have netowrking at all on that machine, i was just testing [02:55] beatbreaker: i dont know what youve changed since last time [02:55] Wow. [02:55] You really lose faith in a program when a comment in the config file says "Is this alright, or is this on crack?" [02:55] beatbreaker: im in a meeting in another channel so i lost track after "yay it booted right! its slow to shut down :(" [02:55] maco, same thing, http://pastebin.com/d5c6a5cf === rllu is now known as raylu [02:57] Question: how is Ubuntu's support for add-in USB2 cards? [02:57] maco, it booted beautifully, but no network. I've been doing everything vie SSH and i just tried to ping it and it was dead, i tested the machine and neither LAN or WAN are working [02:57] HobbleAlong: wait give everyone read and execute permissions to everything in /usr ? [02:57] beatbreaker: oh. boo. wait, in ifconfig, is your interface for-sure called eth0? [02:58] DouglasK: ive used several PCI usb cards to expand my machines with n o hassles under any linux's ive tried. [02:58] maco, i'm pretty sure, but i'll check again [02:58] Korr: find can find only directories or only files [02:58] Korr: from there, you can use -exec chmod -r {} \; and -exec chmod -rx {} \; [02:59] How do I run a wine application from the terminal? [02:59] wine application.exe [02:59] Dr_Willis: thanks... gonna grab one off ebay... got a box that has USB1, but makes a nice little server. [02:59] I don't know what the application is called. [02:59] drakonik: http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2004/2/15/71552/7795 [02:59] oh [02:59] but [02:59] SealedWithAKiss: you have to install it first [02:59] I"m stuck in terminal [02:59] Gnea, I have. [02:59] HobbleAlong: nevermind that's the normal permissions lol [02:59] I'm affected by this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/395366 and I can't update my system. How can I fix this? [02:59] dunno how to browser [02:59] SealedWithAKiss: then it's in the wine path [03:00] maco, well if i do ifconfig now eth0 isn't even there [03:00] Gnea, I wanna run it from the terminal. [03:00] SealedWithAKiss: you installed something, but don't know what you installed? [03:00] maco, i only get lo [03:00] SealedWithAKiss: just give it the absolute path to the c drive [03:00] beatbreaker: ifconfig -a [03:00] SealedWithAKiss: you said that. [03:00] drakonik: oh, it's not important or relevant to your problem [03:00] SealedWithAKiss: it's usually in the ~/.wine/ directory [03:00] beatbreaker: ifconfig eth0 up [03:00] drakonik: but lynx, links, and elinks are good cli browsers [03:01] oh [03:01] raylu: I opened it in my laptop [03:01] drakonik: if you don't want to mess with gdm configs, i suggest dpkg-reconfigure gdm. most likely, though, the issue is not with your gdm config [03:01] Reading the URL from across the room [03:01] raylu: Alright, I'll try that. === Oponium is now known as Arv3n [03:02] hy... [03:02] oh come on, even ubuntu pastebin get viagra spam >.< [03:02] okay, it's asking me to reboot [03:02] How do I cd into a directory with a space? [03:02] I guess? [03:02] SealedWithAKiss: escape the space with [03:02] \ [03:02] jancok [03:02] SealedWithAKiss: use the tab key [03:02] SealedWithAKiss: or use quotes [03:02] SealedWithAKiss: "cd blah\ blah\ dongs" [03:03] Gnea: you're too fast [03:03] anyway, brb, I'm sure. [03:03] Korr: you're right sorry... There are also a bunch of .c files that need 644, and maybe others. I'm not sure of anything quick and easy :o( [03:03] fuck you....!!!!!!!!!!! [03:03] Gnea, thanks. [03:03] How can I get my processor type (32/64 bit) from ubuntu? [03:03] !lantuage | cWo_3m0 [03:03] Sorry, I don't know anything about lantuage [03:03] cWo_3m0: Please watch your language [03:03] Paraj: can you show us the result of either an apt update or dpkg --configure -a? [03:03] cWo_3m0: uh, no, you don't swear in here, ok? [03:03] !language | cWo_3m0 [03:03] cWo_3m0: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [03:03] raylu: Same as in the bug [03:03] Mike_lifeguard: you can find if you're running 32 or 64 by doing "uname -a" [03:04] DigitalKiwi: how so? [03:04] sex with me???? [03:04] how do i change the 'modified' and 'created' date of a file ? [03:04] Ben64: is that the i686 bit? [03:04] not sure if you can tell if you have a 64bit cpu on 32bit ubuntu [03:04] :~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/SEGA$ wine Medieval\ II\ Total\ War/ [03:04] wine: cannot find 'Medieval II Total War/' ?? [03:04] Mike_lifeguard: yeah [03:04] Paraj: you're using lilo? [03:04] Gnea: i was about to answer "use tab completion" but you had already answered [03:04] raylu: Yes [03:04] Linux ben64 2.6.24-24-generic #1 SMP Fri Jul 24 22:15:50 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux [03:04] Nope [03:04] Didn't do a thing. [03:04] DigitalKiwi: clearly this person doesn't fully understand the concept, yet [03:04] so i'm running 64bit [03:04] SealedWithAKiss: are you sure you're entering the correct directory? That is a directory in your $HOME [03:04] Paraj: why not grub? [03:05] maco, ok it's beatbreaker, i'm on another PC now, downstairs [03:05] I'm having some problems with DVD playback and flash movies on Xubuntu 9.04 kernel 2.6.28-15 on an old emachines with 180MB of ram. No one's saying anything on the Xubuntu channel. Any ideas? [03:05] man....... i hate how i have to use ubuntu as a rescue disc for my xp, 15 gb of data needs to be saved >.< [03:05] maco, yeah i did ifconfig -a and there's eth0 there [03:05] Ben64: the lm flag in /proc/cpuinfo will tell if your processor is 64-bit [03:05] kholby: you should start by saying what problem(s) you're having [03:05] Okay. dpkg says that I can reconfigure things once all X sessions are closed. [03:05] raylu: Installed using alt CD, used multiple encrypted (dm-crypt) volumes for the OS [03:05] beatbreaker: so if you "sudo ifup eth0" what happens? [03:05] raylu: didn't know if it would have that if you're running a 32bit linux [03:05] Dayofswords: would you hate it more or less if you didn't have a rescue cd at all? [03:06] And then it barfs up some error about "initscript gdm, action "reload" " failing [03:06] Ben64: and i686 is what kind? I don't see the number 32 or 64 there :D [03:06] it's 32 Mike_lifeguard [03:06] well i'm not complaining that i have to use ubuntu, i just hate that i would have to use any thing [03:06] Ben64: it will, since "32-bit linux" is just a 32-bit kernel (and userspace) and the processor flags will be the same regardless of what you're running [03:06] Ben64: and what would 64 be? [03:06] Sorry. I installed the packages supposedly necessary for DVD playback and several players, and finally got the DVDs to mount, but when I try to play one I'm told that I don't have permission. [03:06] Mike_lifeguard: try "cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -i lm" [03:06] Mike_lifeguard: linux has always been 32bit [03:06] maco, all good if i do that command, how can i get it on bootup? [03:07] beatbreaker: hrm. /etc/rcS.d/S40networking should have done that. [03:07] Ben64: or you could just grep -i lm /proc/cpuinfo [03:07] beatbreaker: that file exists for you right? [03:07] Dayofswords: system rescue cd ftw [03:07] raylu: well i didn't know that the 64bit flags would show up on 32bit [03:07] Dayofswords: then use nothing, and your life will be bliss? === |Draglor| is now known as Draglor [03:07] =p [03:07] raylu: ok... theres many ways to grep stuff.... :| [03:07] :) [03:07] Firecrotch, maybe but I don't learn in passin period, lunch, and seminar [03:07] I was able to get DVDs to play successfully on my laptop running Ubuntu 9.04 in a similar manner with almost no trouble.

[03:11] Mike_lifeguard: not necessarily faster, but it uses the processor more efficiently, how it was designed. [03:11] Now the problem is, when I run the wubi installer, it tells me to uninstall ubuntu first. [03:11] kholby: cool. can i see the output of mplayer dvd://1 [03:12] shovon: openn a shell, type "sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop" and press enter [03:12] it would be like using only 4 cylinders in a v8 car [03:12] a bad idea :D [03:12] hey, Well this is my first time with a ubuntu install so i'm kinda n00b but I have a HP dv7 and I'm having trouble getting the sound to work. I've updated alsa and looked at the forums to update the config document with my model. [03:12] Is there any solution which doesn't involve me installing Grub instead of LILO? [03:12] shovon: That'll install KDE desktop and you can pick which you want on login. [03:13] m0d0: what method did you use to update alsa? [03:13] anyone here familiar with Devede? Ive noticed when encoding it does not utallize all 4 of my CPU cores, is there a way to fix it? [03:13] shovon: if you made the space big enough, you can install kubuntu-desktop inside your ubuntu wubi [03:13] shovon: then you pick from kde or gnome on login [03:13] maco, so i'll just use that up command before if i want it working manually in the meantime, and i'll pastebin my S40networking file to you [03:13] I'm running it on another PC, so I'll give you the last few lines: Playing dvd://1 \n Can't open VMG info!

[03:26] drakonik: well, hit Ctrl-alt-F1, login, do a /etc/init.d/gdm stop, then reconfig it. [03:26] alright [03:26] drakonik: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [03:26] Ben64: Would this information help you at all - http://paste.ubuntu.com/256646/ [03:26] Nope. [03:26] Same error.

[03:27] drakonik: try sudo killall -9 gdm [03:27] HobbleAlong: havent tried that [03:27] Hi all. Every once in a while, gnome seems to freeze on my system, ie. taskbar and gnome-panel stop responding. All other apps continue running fine (even apps in notification area). How do I debug that? [03:27] It's not running. [03:27] Strife89: try this or see if there is a ppa for it http://linux.softpedia.com/progDownload/GStreamer-Plugins-Base-Download-8959.html [03:27] GDM isn't running. Which is my problem. I"m stuck in my stupid system shell [03:27] HobbleAlong: is it safe on open a 2nd Devede if ones up currently encoding? its already half done heh [03:28] And for some reason, dpkg things that there's an X session running [03:28] Wait. [03:28] Hrm. [03:28] exit [03:28] frack [03:28] MaGicMaX: look at the docs for mencoder and see if it can use 4 cores ie 4 threads [03:28] dax2112rush1: Does it happen after using multiple programs which use sound? [03:28] * DouglasK watches with interest... [03:28] dax2112rush1: Rhythmbox and youtube, for example? [03:28] ctmjr: Thanks, I'll just try to compile it. [03:29] LOL, he was using an IRC client on another console wasn't he? [03:29] #rob0t7 [03:29] JGodbout: Yes, it is possible, but I never notice the exact moment where this happens as it doesn't affect apps. [03:29] Anyone know about gnome-app-install. [03:29] Okay [03:29] That didn't work. [03:30] Hi, i wanna install ubuntu jaunty on my new hp mini and since it has no cd room , i am going to use wubi, my question is : how to install the 32 bits version using wubi, "start it with the 32 bits argument" is all i found in websites but i kinda dont understand how, thanks in advance [03:30] MaGicMaX: I don't know I've never used Devede; I'm just trying to come up with things you can check. [03:30] hello, I want to install the JDK, the choices are a .bin or .rpm on the website. which one do i choose? and how do i install it? [03:30] JGodbout: but I'll try to pay attention when using Banshee and youtube or other apps [03:30] dax2112rush1: Ah okay. I just notice that it sometimes happens to me after using Amarok, and something like Youtube at the same time. [03:30] JGodbout: any known fix for that? [03:30] drakonik: how do you know there's no x session [03:30] dax2112rush1: I fixed it by changing the output for Amarok to ALSA. [03:31] wubi will install 64 bit if your system is capable. That is your option. Takes 12 hours or so [03:31] Laserbeak431: neither. search in Synaptic package manager for jdk [03:31] Rather than autodetect [03:31] ctmjr: I hate dependency hell. "liboil-0.3.14 or later required" [03:31] HobbleAlong: looking [03:31] IdleOne: ok thx [03:31] Irishmanluke: Well, I'm pretty sure tehre isn't [03:31] maco, sorry i just want to ask, if I was to put "sudo ifup eth0" into that script, where would i put it? http://pastebin.com/f3ada7d09 [03:31] I mean, I'm in system terminal mode [03:31] Hi! Any ideas about why I am getting an input/output error when copying files between hard drives???

[03:31] ps -aux doesn't list anything to do with X, there's no GNOME session [03:32] I don't know why dpkg is convinced there is an X session [03:32] And I have no idea how I can actually check [03:32] I've checked /etc/init.d/ for some way to stop X, there's nothing [03:32] HobbleAlong: btw, i usually encode from .avi, does that use the mencoder at all? [03:32] I don't know where to turn. [03:32] beatbreaker: after line 52 "start)"...just put it on the next line [03:32] for example, when i load firefox it doesn't restore my previous tabs like i have it set to do [03:32] drakonik: ps aux | grep x-session doesn't show anything? [03:32] beatbreaker: dont need the sudo as its run as root [03:32] Did you try --force with dpkg ? [03:32] JGodbout: I'll experiment with that but I need to be able to route all audio through pulseaudio... audio in linux is such a mess :'( [03:33] JGodbout: thanks [03:33] maco, ah great, thanks very much [03:33] dax2112rush1: Yeah - it can be a bit fiddly. Good luck with it all [03:33] Wubi click 32 bit, how big a chunk out of windows dual boot. Will do it;s thing, cannot screw it up. [03:33] Irishmanluke: Not a thing, other than "ps -aux | grep x-session" [03:33] Paraj: I can try [03:34] Strife89: well that did not help your problem sorry [03:34] Paraj: Nope, --force didn't change anything. [03:34] MaGicMaX: I'm not sure, you'll need some other advice or check the docs. [03:34] It's still waiting for the X session to end before it will reconfigure gdm. [03:34] okay for some reason it will only run properly when i do: "sudo firefox" from a terminal, is there any way to fix it? [03:34] What X session? I don't know. But it thinks there's one running. [03:34] HobbleAlong: checked the man page and i dont see avi support listed for it, not sure with encoder is uses for that, whatever it is... it only uses a single core... [03:34] ctmjr: Thankfully Synaptic had the package. gst is making now, wish me luck .... [03:34] If all us fails just reboot and try again [03:34] beatbreaker: hang on [03:34] else fails* [03:35] Paraj: I have, several times now. [03:35] beatbreaker: is mountnfs the one you're using? [03:35] How can I set it so that my keyboard layout is changed from dvorak to qwerty whenever I hold down Left Ctrl? I want to be able to use dvorak for typing, but still have nicely placed qwerty shortcuts. [03:35] It always thinks there's an X session. [03:35] beatbreaker: im being reminded of how the new upstart boot process works [03:35] Is tehre like...a text file with a cookie in it, saying "Yeah, X is active"? Maybe the file got orphaned or isn't being deleted or cleared? [03:35] I'm grasping for straws now. [03:36] How do I access mounted network drives when trying to open files? Im trying to install something in VirtualBox but the network locations that show up in File Browser arent there [03:36] drakonik: try sudo killall gdm it's ugly but works or should [03:36] I tried to boot into the Ubuntu recovery mode. dpkg gave some screwy errors and didn't do anything [03:36] i don't see them in /mnt or anything [03:36] ctmjr: No process found. [03:36] I'm telling you guys, gdm and X aren't running. [03:37] they dont appear to be truly mounted [03:37] Something is tricking dpkg into thinking X is running. [03:37] MaGicMaX: You may have to do some more digging. I'm not familiar with those programs, sorry. [03:37] beatbreaker: is nfs what you're using? [03:38] Is there anyone else on here that wants to have a crack helping me fix the sound for my HP dv7? Or is there just no fix for this yet? [03:38] Can anyone help with flash stuffs? [03:38] beatbreaker: pastebin the ####'d part of /etc/rcS.d/S45mountnfs.sh [03:39] Can anyone help with making my keyboard layout switch to qwerty when I hold down Left Control? [03:40] heres a puzzler for you guys, why in ubuntu is my internet at around 8mbps, while in windows xp it wont go past 4mbps, this is a clean install of genuine windows with the drivers that came on the disk for the wifi stick [03:40] the address 192.168.1.127 is always routing to localhost, even when all of my interfaces are down. I have another computer at that address that I need to access but I always just get this computer instead [03:40] running route doesn't show it [03:40] the download speeds in ubuntu are authentic too, i can download from torrents at 1mbps [03:40] so any ideas? [03:40] In xmodmap I want + to = left mouse button...any suggestions? [03:40] charles`_: Check your HOSTS file [03:41] kn100: it could be a wireless N. some hardware on windows wont work at N speeds. [03:41] ctmjr: Okay, tried to configure Farsight again, but this time, "Could not find Python headers". [03:41] drakonik: there isn't a corresponding entry there for that address [03:41] kn100: microsoft uses a broken tcp/ip stack apparently. I've had the same sort of thing happen. [03:41] JGodbout: You mean you want to set it up that way? [03:42] Silver_Swords: doubt it, all my hardware is g [03:42] Yeah [03:42] charles`_: Strange. What are you using for DNS for that computer? [03:42] all i have windows installed for is my wii emulator anyway [03:42] Lostinspace_46: I want a dvorak layout with qwerty shortcuts [03:42] ooh wii emulator nice [03:42] JGodbout: are you using xmodmap or loadkeys? [03:42] drakonik, just my router [03:43] drakonik, even when I bring down all interfaces that address is corresponding to local host [03:43] kn100: can you hook up wiimotes to use with that too? [03:43] I'm not sure. I'm just using the System->Keyboard->Layout option atm [03:43] Irishmanluke: never tried [03:43] Irishmanluke: there is probably a way somewhere [03:43] I dunno, is there a linux equivalent to "ipconfig /flushdns"? [03:44] 怎么都不说话 [03:44] drakonik, is there a way to see what all config files in etc differ from their defaults? [03:44] charles`_: Beats the ever loving hell out of me. I"m in here for a problem of my own that's way above my head. [03:45] kn100: there are drivers for the wiimotes but I don't know 1 if they cover all the inputs of the wiimote or 2 if it will work with the emulator [03:45] JGodbout: well you can switch layouts that way, but to mod the layout, it takes more. Why dont you pm me. [03:45] allot of HP machines suck. there are some that work well with linux thou. [03:45] Irishmanluke: the emulator uses the mouse and im sure theres a way ro use a wiimote to control the mouse [03:45] so it might work [03:45] dont have a wiimote though :P [03:45] hah [03:46] hmmm.. I wanna do some music programing.. I wanna do keyboards.. does anyone know any good softwares for that? [03:46] yeah you can definately do that [03:46] refrer: rosegarden [03:46] Irishmanluke: the emulator ROCKS, its better than the original console [03:46] DouglasK : thank you [03:46] it can output 720p [03:46] no worries....

[03:51] that is so funny i cant believe I thought ubottu was a real person LOL!! [03:51] Alexia: lots of people do [03:51] ubnotu ftw [03:51] Douglas : does guitar chords even work in that software [03:52] Strife89: did you read this yet? http://amsn-project.net/wiki/Farsight [03:52] DouglasK : does guitar chords even work in that software [03:52] anyone willing to help me setup phpmyadmin and mysql?Its stressing me out [03:52] !lamp | nmvictor [03:52] nmvictor: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [03:53] nmvictor: I would recommend using XAMPP http://apachefriends.org [03:53] nmvictor: I just learned the bare essentials to that, anything complex idk [03:53] decompress it and run: /opt/lampp/lampp start and your server starts [03:53] phpMyAdmin is preinstalled [03:53] How do I enable voice chat in Empathy? using jaunty [03:54] how can i make firefox start maximized? [03:54] refrer: I don't know off hand ... I know you can do chords, but I don't know if you can tell it, "Play an E major" [03:54] ctmjr: I have now, thanks. However, I'm trying to compile Farsight because I read that it would enable audio support for Yahoo in Pidgin. === name is now known as Guest55287 [03:55] ohh [03:55] Irishmanluke: could the bare essentials include username and password setting in mysql?that'd help [03:55] Irishmanluke: could the bare essentials include username and password setting in phpmyadmin?that'd help [03:55] nmvictor: yes [03:55] nmvictor: please dont repeat so quickly [03:56] nmvictor: I have to see if I remember this though [03:56] Irishmanluke: how do i go around that? [03:56] those that want audio/video with yahoo chats, try gyachy [03:56] Strife89: oh ok do not know much about it there was something on there about audio in msn do not know if it will work with yahoo [03:56] IdleOne: sorry, i had mistyped something [03:57] Silver_Swords: How stable is it? === ash001 is now known as than0 [03:57] ctmjr: Thanks anyway. :) [03:57] nmvictor: your right I just saw that [03:57] nmvictor: alright so you've logged into mysql as root? [03:57] hi, i'm trying to unload the usbserial kernel module temporarily, but it errors out: "ERROR: Removing 'usbserial': Resource temporarily unavailable", is there anyway I can remove it? (i tried force in rmmod with -f) [03:58] can someone verify that http://thechuckster.homelinux.com/ works? [03:58] Strife89, i dont use it, but according to my little sis it works great. [03:58] Found my problem with dpkg erroring with raid errors when trying to install linux-restricted-module s. /boot partition was too small, because it would have been so friggin hard to say that in a log file or terminal output or somethhing >:( [03:58] TheChuckster, works for me [03:58] yay! [03:58] How can I make Transmission, the P2P client, use encryption? [03:58] now my openbsd server is officially upgraded to 4.5 [03:58] Silver_Swords: I'm having little luck finding it; got a link? [03:58] clean install and everything! [03:58] :) [03:59] Strife89: http://gyachi.sourceforge.net/intro.shtml [03:59] got any good suggestions on how to secure it? [03:59] i dont want my site hacked [03:59] Silver_Swords: Thanks; I'll give it a whirl. :) [03:59] TheChuckster: This is #ubuntu, you should ask the openBSD people about your openBSD box. [03:59] Strife89: good luck. [03:59] Irishmanluke: #2002 - The server is not responding (or the local MySQL server's socket is not correctly configured) thats what i get, and whats the username and password anyway?don't think i have that right either. [03:59] woops i'm sorry [03:59] Flannel, i wasn't sure [04:00] i was in the wrong xchat tab [04:00] bye all [04:00] anybosy used zoneminder? here [04:00] anybody used zoneminder? here [04:01] nmvictor: when you first try to login to mysql you just need to type myswl then you get to configuring users and passwords, to login with a user and password mysql -u user -p then tupe password [04:01] hey my su password and my user password arent the same thing any thoughts? [04:01] nmvictor: based on your error though that is not the problem [04:02] automan070192: su uses the root password. The root account is disabled by default. sudo uses your user password (by default) [04:02] well its not working i type it in and says authentication failure [04:03] in other words you're meant to use sudo [04:03] does anyone know how to install the latest gcc without breaking the whole system? [04:04] Hm, okay, perhaps an odd question, but what's the performance impact of a software RAID? [04:04] So I've managed to pare my problem down a bit. [04:04] That is, if you're doing some CPU-intense calculations on a fairly buff CPU, is the CPU usage of a software RAID setup going to be noticable? [04:05] sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart yields the error "changes will take effect when all current X sessions have ended" [04:05] Hydrant: im not sure, but i think your limited to useing GCC version only supported by our libc... [04:05] how do you install java? [04:05] nmvictor: I think I know what your problem is but I have to think for a sec there's something you have to run to configure mysql [04:05] 1java [04:05] !java [04:05] To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository [04:05] So for whatever reason, gdm itself thinks X is running. [04:06] puff: that depends on what raid type your running, and accros how many drives [04:06] Any ides on how to fix it? [04:06] gartral: RAID 1. Two drives. [04:06] nmvictor: Mysql? [04:06] drakonik, there may be some clues in the script - in /etc/init.d/gdm [04:06] hrm [04:06] alright [04:06] nmvictor: Gimme a sec to check the scrollback, but it sounds like you're having the usual setup issues. [04:06] I'll look [04:06] Irishmanluke: yes and maybe this will also help, ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2).its what i get when i type mysql -u root [04:06] as much as I don't wanna [04:07] puff: laughable at worst.. but it also depends on the software running the raid [04:07] gartral: Ubuntu? [04:07] puff, I have several benchmarks for you to look at would you like for me to message them to you [04:07] puff: yea, i'll really appreciate,any help? [04:07] In xmodmap I want + to = left mouse button...any suggestions? [04:07] gartral: Basically, I have a friend whose small startup just built a linux box with 192 GB of ram for this radiation exposure software they're working on. They've asked me to come by and set up RAID 1. [04:07] puff: Ubuntu is the OS, i dont know what Ubuntu uses to do software raids === Cpudan80_ is now known as Cpudan80 [04:08] Alexia: I guess, I'm hoping for just a general sense of the answer :-). [04:08] gartral: mdmadm, I think. [04:08] gartral: software raids... is that like kitchen raids? [04:08] nmvictor: Okay, so you installed mysql? [04:08] My main issue is defining the mouse button in xbindkey [04:08] Hi everyone [04:09] puff: yea [04:09] nmvictor: Using the u buntu package manager? [04:09] Can I get some help with the instructions on this page? https://launchpad.net/~loell/+archive/ppa [04:09] Awesome. [04:09] I'm having difficulties with the signing key. [04:09] Well it may be different for you but the benchmarks I have found say that in certain scenarios performance can be equal to or better than a hardware raid [04:09] Strife89: what kind of help? [04:09] I can sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start [04:09] Did I miss a notice about packages.ubuntu.com being down for maintenance? Or is it not supposed to be down? [04:09] nmvictor: Did you do anything else with mysql after you installed the package? [04:09] puff: aptitude [04:09] And it says "GDM running" [04:09] :| [04:09] puff: nop [04:09] puff, http://advosys.ca/viewpoints/2007/04/setting-up-software-raid-in-ubuntu-server/ [04:09] Mike_lifeguard: I'm having trouble with the signing key. [04:09] Inc`: It's not supposed to be down [04:09] drakonik: what did you expect? [04:09] Alexia: Yeah, I got that point and that's cool, I'm just wondering if it will use up noticable amounts of CPU. === Nightw0lf is now known as Nightwolf [04:09] drakonik: try restart instead of start? [04:09] puff: if that's so, you should be able to throw it together with no measurable cpu usage unless they're trasnferring the entire RAM contents to HDD... [04:09] Mike_lifeguard: I expected gnome to start. [04:10] Mike_lifeguard: don't make me lart you [04:10] Alexia: That is, it just occurred to me, if it's using the CPU to do that, and they're running these CPU intense calculations... maybe they'd be better off with some sort of nightly backup. [04:10] GNOME isn't running in any imaginable capacity [04:10] Mike_lifeguard: I'm following the instructions to a T, but Ubuntu continues to tell me that the public key is unavailible. [04:10] puff: so.... [04:10] Strife89: keyserver may well be down [04:11] Nor is X. Which is why I"m so puzzled when 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm' chokes and dies. [04:11] nmvictor: Okay, cool, so did oyu do anything else after doing sudo aptitude install mysql ? [04:11] One wonders why we let these people write our os if they can't keep a keyserver up for a reasonable proportion of the time [04:11] Dies saying "Changes will be applied once all current X sessions are stopped. [04:11] nmvictor: Also, you said you wanted to install phpadmin and al that? [04:11] Mike_lifeguard: Could it have something to do with the R? The full key is 1024R/DB2035A6 . [04:11] puff, I think it is just going to be so dependent on a huge variety of things, cpu-speed, diskwrite performance, size of file chunks, etc [04:11] nmvictor: In which case you're going to need to install some related packages. [04:11] Alexia: Well yeah, obviously. [04:11] drakonik: are you using x11 forwarding over ssh? [04:12] puff, I dont think there is any one answer to your question [04:12] nmvictor: But first things first, let's get mysql done. [04:12] gartral: No. [04:12] drakonik: ok.. my ideas shot down then [04:12] At the moment, I'm in a system shell [04:12] Alexia: I'm just looking for a rough sense of it, an order of magnitude estimate. [04:13] drakonik: One odd idea, use ps to check and see if you have a hung X process maybe. [04:13] ANYONE ABUTS [04:13] puff, look through the benchmarks, besides that Im not sure what to tell you [04:13] I don't. [04:13] I know I don't. [04:13] drakonik: Or possibly reboot - something hasn't let go of a lock file, maybe? [04:13] Alexia: Alright, thanks though. [04:13] puff: yea, and hel phpmyadmin is already installed, its the username and password to access it that i havent configured too.so lets fix mysql right? [04:13] Strife89: http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/keyserver.ubuntu.com [04:13] * gartral wonders what horm s screaming about [04:13] puff: That's my theory [04:13] But I have no idea how ot find out what lock file it is [04:13] And reboot doesn't help. [04:13] nmvictor: Okay, so you still haven't answered my question :-) [04:13] I've rebooted at least ten times tonight. [04:13] Mike_lifeguard: Ah, okay. :) [04:14] nmvictor: Did you do anything after running "sudo aptitude install mysql"? [04:14] Strife89: you'll get used to it, the keyserver has pretty bad uptime :\ [04:14] Strife89: click on the link for the key then click it again copy and paste it (where it says begin key here not the big fonts) into a text editor then save it then add it to synaptic [04:14] Mike_lifeguard: It appears I can still get the packages anyway, they just can't be authenticated. [04:14] Strife89: yes, the packages themselves are elsewhere [04:14] puff: i dint do anything to it except for the passwd or something, its been a while since that installation. [04:14] Ooohhh.... Lightning tonight! [04:15] it's probably safe, but you shouldn't technically install anything you haven't verified :\ [04:15] Rebooting doesn't help, and I"m not starting anything even remotely related to X [04:15] nmvictor: canyo clarify "except for the password or something?" [04:15] Either that or a transformer blew at the power station across the river. [04:15] So there's no reason for dpkg to hang up, unless there's some kind of lockfile that isn't being cleaned up the way it should [04:15] nmvictor: Also, to be specific, are you installing all of this on the same box? [04:15] nmvictor: the mysql daemone is not running [04:15] puff: could be the password, i cant really remember but while installing it did ask for something related to that [04:15] gyachi installed, logged in. Anyone willing to help me test it? [04:16] Irishmanluke: We'll get to that... [04:16] I'm editing /etc/network/interfaces and what is the broadcast and network switch? I'm not sure what to put here, I know what my gateway is, I know what my netmask is, and i know the static ip i want to assign it. [04:16] Strife89, test what? [04:16] nmvictor: Okay, before we take the next step, is anybody else using this box, do we have to worry about interrupting service or losing user data? [04:16] puff: phpmyadmin and mysql, yea they are already installed in the same box [04:17] b3rz3rk3r: I'd just like to test gyachi's video and/or audio features. === freaky[t] is now known as freaky|bday [04:17] nmvictor: next step then, "sudo /etc/init.d/mysql status" [04:17] nmvictor: Wait, you didn't answer the user question. [04:17] b3rz3rk3r: Basically, I need someone who uses Yahoo Messenger or a related client. [04:17] puff: using means something like, another user, no their is just me and root.that gave stopped [04:18] I'm editing /etc/network/interfaces and what is the broadcast and network switch? I'm not sure what to put here, I know what my gateway is, I know what my netmask is, and i know the static ip i want to assign it. I'm asking because i was ssh'ing into the box and now I can't access it via the ip I assigned it. [04:18] nmvictor: Okay, so next step then, "sudo /etc/init.d/mysql status" [04:18] Strife89, sry irc only [04:18] Strife89, oh, having said that.. i do use google chat [04:18] puff: MYSQL is stopped.thats the output [04:18] Strife89, that work? [04:18] nmvictor: Good 'nuff then, Irishmanluke is right. Next step: "sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start" [04:19] coreyman: not sure about the broadcast part, but networkswitch should be left alone unless you specifically want all traffic routed through a switch [04:19] is there a gui tool for creating disk (or partition) images and the same or another tool to mount the image (from a gui. Yes, I know you can do this with a command line) [04:19] puff: that's what you get from the error message when runningb mysql [04:19] b3rz3rk3r: Unfortunately, no. Gyachi is Yahoo only, from what I can tell. [04:19] puff: Irishmanluke ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) [04:19] gartral no...... they are vaules in the file [04:19] gartral they dont specifically say switch [04:19] gartral i was reffering to them as a switch. [04:19] Harrum. [04:19] hello, on my laptop, wireless auto-connects when I log on to gnome (i am a member of the 'admin' group), but when other users who aren't members of the admin group log in, wireless does NOT auto-connect.

[04:20] puff: what needs to start is mysqld but it needs to be configured first [04:20] what should i change in my network config to make that happen? [04:20] gartral thank you very much I couldn't think of everything i wanted to say in one paragraph [04:20] Irishmanluke: think you are right, still on this puff ? [04:21] puff: know how to confugure? [04:22] nmvictor: Hang on, I'm checking on this. [04:22] coreyman: well... sometimes it's better to hold your thought back and formulate a larg cohesive one, rather than many small, hard too follow ones, but im not sure what to do with those values either [04:22] puff: cool [04:22] nmvictor: Btw, did you do any ubuntu updates since you installed mysql? === Seidos_ is now known as Seidos [04:23] puff: yea, yesterday, through update manager [04:23] Anyone willing to help: I've got a problem with nm-applet. In the process of adding applets to the panel in gnome (9.04, 64bit), nm-applet and the bluetooth applet somehow got removed. Network connections still work fine, and my wifi card would still autoconnect to my home network, but i have no control over it. When I try to run "nm-applet" in the terminal, I get this error: http://www.geeknook.org/p/paste/45/ ---- Any ideas? [04:24] nmvictor: alright I think the first time t [04:24] anyone else not getting low battery notifications before they run out of juice? [04:24] thought I solved the problem, but it seems to have creeped up again [04:24] nmvictor: Is your disk full? check "df" [04:24] puff: then i reinstalled apache2 and phpmyadmin, so i have a feeling it reconfigured everything with mysql [04:24] Hello I hope that someone can help me find out why on movie player I can no longer stream youtube video's I get the error -> Could not open location; you might not have permission to open the file. [04:24] horm: ps aux | grep -i n[m]-applet [04:24] gartral i think im going to leave out those values and see if it works. [04:25] oh dear [04:25] what's that say? [lists processes, pipes through grep to only select lines where nm-applet appears] [04:25] I saw a kernel panic somewhere in the bootup sequence [04:25] nmvictor: the first time you start the mysql server you want to use mysqld_safe so try running that [04:25] This does not bode well. [04:25] nmvictor: I'm seeing other reports of similar problems after an upgrade. [04:25] nop, i have some giga left, like 4.its a dualboot with vista, and you know how selfish vista can get with HDD. [04:25] I really need some serious help with this one!!! [04:26] nmvictor: Last resort would be to completely remove and purge mysql and reinstall it, but let me dig a little before we do t hat. [04:26] tonsofpcs: horm 17601 0.0 0.4 183352 14972 ? S 23:11 0:00 nm-applet --sm-disable [04:26] horm: it seems that it is already running then. [04:26] yep. kernel panic. [04:26] On top of sixteen thousand errors related to the hard disk somehow [04:26] tonsofpcs: yes, that's where im confused [04:26] horm: desktop/personal machine or server? [can you safely reboot without it being a pita?] [04:26] puff: wasnt an upgrade though, just an update or are they one and the same thing? [04:27] Is there anyone familiar with this problem?? [04:27] tonsofpcs: yeah, personal [04:27] Time to burn a livecd, fsck the hell out of it, and see what I can salvage. [04:27] drakonik: check that your PSU is providing enough power [04:27] horm: try rebooting? [04:27] Well, for tonight, I'm done. [04:27] tonsofpcs: been like this for a week, yesw [04:27] nmvictor: did you try running mysqld_safe [04:27] hello, on my laptop, wireless auto-connects when I log on to gnome (i am a member of the 'admin' group), but when other non-admin users log in, wireless does NOT auto-connect. what should i change in my network config to make that happen?

MYSQL is stopped [04:34] In xmodmap I want + to = left mouse button...any suggestions? [04:34] nmvictor: Well since you didn't start it with /etc/init.d/mysql, that might not show up, try "ps -ef | fgrep -i mysql" [04:34] biovore:thanks it worked [04:35] thanks go ti === RUNINWATER_CPO2 is now known as Soka_CPO2 [04:35] I wanted to play quicktime videos in browser so I installed "ubuntu-restricted-extras" and it still doesn't play quicktime and now it has my fonts all messed up.

So, if you're primary focus on making an ubuntu 9.04 server was to make it a router, would you use ufw, firestarter, or something else? [04:50] hello, i've installed ubuntu netbook remix on my eeepc with a 4gb ssd [04:50] i used ext4 [04:50] What I'm looking for, is preferably easy maintenance, possibly web interface for it, and presently, not eBox. === khisanth_ is now known as Khisanth [04:51] vaio: sounds like the keymap is wrong (generic US 104 key, maybe?) [04:51] vaio: no need to swear, i understand the frustration, but you need too find a keymap that's for your specific system's keyboard [04:51] vaio you can change brightness in the menus i have same pc or atleast a sony vaio [04:51] and i have disabled journaling via "sudo tune2fs /dev/sda1 -O ^has_journaling" [04:51] then reboot [04:51] grouper: THAT WAS VERY BAD! [04:52] sorry for swearing [04:52] :) [04:52] and it fails to boot giving me a "Gave up waiting for root device" error. then it drops me to busybox, from busybox if i try to mount /dev/sda1 / it says "couldn't mount because of unsupported optional features (240)." [04:52] what should i do? [04:52] yeh keymap maybe wrong [04:52] im from UK [04:52] psi-jack: any suggestions? [04:52] any ideas wot it may be [04:52] grouper: First of all, I suggest not using ext4, period. [04:53] action [04:53] grouper: It's still prone to failure. Secondly, if you want a good filesystem, try xfs, it works, period, simple. ;) [04:53] * fazz ? [04:53] set ? [04:54] fazz: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:54] i'm kinda upset that even in the netbook remix edition i don't have the option to format a partition as ext4 without jounaling from the GUI installer [04:54] .......why would you want ext4 without journal [04:54] grouper: Dude.. Why in the world would you use ext3 or 4 WITHOUT journalling? That's pathetic. [04:54] snakedoc what menus? [04:54] as an experiment, i'm planning on installing ubuntu9.04 using WUBI, and then going into the wubi install and rewriting ubuntu with another distro (like fedora, or opensuse, etc)... does anyone know if this is possible? [04:54] i wish itunes would work on ubuntu [04:55] grouper: well.. you have an apt name... i hope you have a backup somewhere.. you officially screwed your main partition sideways, for lack of a better term.. you need to reinstall [04:56] vaio if you right click the battery icon it has preff its option in there [04:56] Would someone that knows something about raid 1 arrays please message me. [04:56] can anyone help me to get gutenpy started I installed the .deb (sudo dpkg -i **.deb) but it wont run when selected in applications, this is very frustrating [04:56] gartral: you can reverse the "sudo tune2fs /dev/sda1 -O ^has_journaling" with "sudo tune2fs -j /dev/sda1", you would not need to reinstall [04:56] snakedoc i dont have a battery icon? [04:56] psi-jack, because it's an SSD [04:57] grouper: So? [04:57] it was a clean install [04:57] no loss [04:57] how to use gtalk [04:57] ? [04:57] vaio: Google "ubuntu community, " -- You might find workarounds if there are any. [04:57] stew: why on EARTH are you telling me this? [04:57] gartral: sorry it was menat for grouper [04:57] vaio system > preferences > power management [04:57] anyone help [04:57] me to connect gtalk [04:58] gartral: but in any case, there is no reason to tell him he has screwed his partition, since its reversable [04:58] stew: i did that too myself some time ago and everyone told me i had screwed up my system [04:58] thanks, i was actually looking for solutions where i can leave journaling turned off [04:58] gartral: that's too bad [04:58] grouper: just mount it as ext2 [04:59] grouper: why does journaling need to be disabled? [04:59] look, i'm not really concerned with what you think i need to do [04:59] snakedoc [04:59] i have an ssd [04:59] grouper: Well, you're plain stupid for trying, lemme say that much. [04:59] i jus put a battery in now [05:00] and dont get any settings to adjust brightness as such [05:00] psi-jack: he's not, and there is really no need for that [05:00] and shutting journaling off in conjunction with noatime decreases the number of writes to my tiny slow-ass SSD [05:00] if someone is here that means that they have the intelect to at least try to make or break there system [05:00] You loose pretty much the entire value of ext3 AND ext4, by not using journalling. [05:01] vaio_ its under display on mine [05:01] yes, it turns it into ext2, which is exactly what he wants [05:01] Just because it's SSD, doesn't make it perfect. Journaling isn;t just for stability, but also is in for speed, somewhat, as well. [05:01] stew: NOT for ext4 it doesn't. [05:01] stew: ext4 is NOT backwards compatible. === D4rkEyes is now known as DarkEyes [05:01] psi-jack: how does journaling increase speed? i wasn't aware of that [05:02] psi-jack: apparently i'm stupid for coming in here and asking for help, i could have reversed what i did easily [05:02] stew: By journaling in front, it prevents fragmentation more readilly, for starters. [05:02] journaling increases reliability [05:02] something's gone wonkey with my controlls.. my mouse is acting like the wheel is being constantly held down and spun, making my focus follow the mouse and scroll up on scrollable applications, and my keyboard thinks shift and plus are an F# combo... [05:02] puppy runs on ext2 and it is increadibly fast [05:02] stew: Did you know ext3, for example, is faster with FULL journalling enabled than it is with just metadata? [05:02] psi-jack and stew please argue this in #ubuntu-offtopic please [05:02] grouper: you should just use ext2 and be done with it [05:02] IdleOne: It's not off topic, though. [05:02] is packages.ubuntu.com having issues? been down for the last few hours [05:02] psi-jack: I see it quickly becoming offtopic [05:03] psi-jack: arguments are allways OT, even if the topic of the argument isn on topic for the channel [05:03] Who's arguing? [05:03] I'm discussing Linux material, simple. [05:04] It's TURNED off topic, because IdleOne said to take it elsewhere, however. :p [05:04] psi-jack: i belive the disscussion has escalated into a debate [05:04] gartral: Noted. It's not. Thank you. [05:04] psi-jack: now your being a tool. [05:04] can anyone help me to get gutenpy started I installed the .deb (sudo dpkg -i **.deb) does this package need any dependancies the are not listed on there site [05:05] IdleOne: no street-speak, man [05:05] guys, I'm trying to install ubuntu from USB stick. (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick). I tried this, but when I restarted, computer says non-system disk. [05:05] pianistbaby: you make sure your bios is set to boot from usb? [05:06] pianistbaby do you have usb set as first boot device in bios [05:06] okay, can someone actually help me get ubuntu installed on an ext4 partition with journaling turned off... or shut journaling off after it's installed and have it still boot? [05:06] Ben64: yes. it reads from USB, but i guess the files on usb are not set up properly by usb-creator [05:06] can anyone tell me how to find out what sound card I am using [05:06] It's simple. ext3 and ext4 are similar, but ext4 added extents.. Cheap, method, but functional, and not nearly yet truely stable in actual world tests, so far. But journalling, helps prevent fragmentation when using full journalling, instead of just using ordered journalling, because then it all goes into one spot and then into the data in a stream. [05:06] mds58: yes, usb is the boot device that computer reads from. I did change boot order [05:06] Just because you use SSD, doesn't make it not necessary. [05:06] That was my point. [05:07] allright, i think thats it...my ubuntu froze 4 times in a row [05:07] how do i format my usb drive? [05:07] pianistbaby: did you install grub onto the flash drive an togle it as bootable when in gparted [05:08] mds58: i did not install anything on the usb aside from what usb-creator puts on it. [05:08] Would someone that knows something about raid 1 arrays please message me. [05:08] can you check it with gparted an make sure that it is set a a boot partition that it greated [05:09] matthew_ > lspci tells you something [05:09] if the partition is not flagged as boot it may conflict with booting (experiance) [05:09] IdleOne: If it's being a tool to be very accurate, very thorough, and detailed, then that would be me, but since that's not the proper definition of being a tool, it's not the case. I will instruct someone the right information, not thinking of someone as a newbie, but as a tech wanting to learn more. [05:09] anyone running jaunty on dell mini? [05:10] i take it that means that no one can help me [05:10] and agian [05:10] psi-jack: You have demonstrated your superiority when it comes to Linux file systems. Congratulations! [05:10] grouper: Seriously.. I really want to know what you're logic is here. [05:11] grouper: sorry for the debate over your drive preferences if I knew more about ext4 I would gladly help you accomplish any goal the you seek [05:11] hi, i've got a proplem [05:11] grouper: what exactly do you need? [05:11] IdleOne: Nothing about superiority. Just facts. [05:11] Hi all [05:11] i use ubuntu 9.04 and my touchpad doesn't work [05:11] psi-jack: ok cool. [05:12] !touchpad > k3ks [05:12] k3ks, please see my private message [05:13] has anyone here tried to install gutenpy and has anyone succeeded? [05:13] i'm trying to turn journaling off on my ext4 filesystem [05:14] grouper: as much as I might hate to say this I think you need to talk to psi-jack because he does seem to know what he is talking about [05:14] i booted from USB and did "tune2fs /dev/sda1 -O ^has_journal" then rebooted but grub gives me an error "Gave up waitinf for root device" [05:14] sudo dpkg--reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [05:14] [05:14] is that not correct? [05:14] grouper: please just use ext2 [05:15] ben64: i'm getting ready to [05:15] unj: space after dpkg [05:15] <[TOP]kangu> <--- newbie to ubuntu just downloaded it today.. had a few quick questions with gfx / audio / mouse configuration if anyone has the time could possibly msg me? [05:15] grouper: i've always made my filesystems manually and then told the installer what to put where [05:15] does noatime imply nodiratime? [05:15] grouper: i don't see why you have trouble setting specific filesystem options at install time [05:16] IdleOne: nah...something else [05:16] grouper: Seriously. ext4 is /not/ backwards compatible to anything prior to ext4. extents makes that impossble with how the data structures are very very different. [05:16] unj: then I dont know [05:16] unj, just 1 - between dpkg-reconfigure [05:16] unj: dpkg-reconfigure === br34l__ is now known as br34l [05:17] oh, he said it already =\ [05:17] see I was right, I did not know [05:17] raylu: it's probably just because i don't know what i'm doing :P the GUI installer doesn't give an option to disable journaling... if i use mkfs.ext4 and disable it there it works just fine but then the installer forces it back on by formatting even when the format checkbox is empty [05:17] grouper: what kernel version is it? [05:17] thanks [05:17] is there a fast way to make full system image ? that i could reinstall from ? [05:17] <[TOP]kangu> anyone familiar with lunix / quake 3 / live configurations? =/ [05:17] it's whatever comes with the 9.04 image [05:18] hmmm [05:18] grouper: if extents are enabled you can't disable them, if you have extents, you'll need to stick to ext4. if you don't have extents enabled, you may be able to go back to ext2 [05:18] grouper uname -a [05:18] anyone using 9.04 can tell me what kernel you're running? [05:18] [TOP]kangu: quake3 playing client, or dedicated server? [05:18] grouper: I think that you might do well with trying to start with 8.04 then upgrade through to 9.04 [05:18] anyone able to make built in cardreader work/ [05:18] <[TOP]kangu> gartral playing client. [05:19] Ben64: 2.6.28.15-generic [05:19] grouper: that was the behavior in 8.10 and previous. it didn't force me to do that for 9.10 [05:19] I think I was able to stay with ext3 and ext2 file systems that way [05:19] well thats the problem [05:19] the ability to remove journal from ext4 doesn't make it into the kernel until 2.6.29 [05:19] <[TOP]kangu> i just installed ubuntu im completly new to this OS... but ive been doing some reading.. got some stuff.. dont know what i did last... but i believe i updated my vid card driver.. now when i try to load quake... its all choppy with no sound... [05:20] <[TOP]kangu> now i have no audio... nor the game play is all choppy =/ [05:20] Hi, i got a problem with port forward, I open a port in my router as it used to, but the port still closed, where [05:20] ben64: thank you, i believe that might be what the problem is [05:20] grouper: do you have a livecd you can boot if your current install isn't bootable? if so, the output of "tune2fs -l /dev/sda1" might help us asses exactly where you are at [05:20] yeah, i'm going to turn journaling back on with the live cd, update the kernel, then try to turn it back off [05:20] grouper: so you can use ext2 until the 2.6.29 kernel comes out, upgrade to ext4 [05:20] grouper: if you have extents enabled, you can't go back [05:20] [TOP]kangu: what gfx card do you have? [05:21] dd if=image.img of=/dev/sda would that work to make system image ? [05:21] stew: *assess, please =\ [05:21] Ben64: or wait till karmic is released [05:21] where's the switches for ports, is there any program for it, i'm new with ubuntu pls help [05:21] SnakDoc: that would overwrite your hard diskwith the .img [05:21] SnakDoc: you should be very very very sure /dev/sda is where you want to write to [05:22] grouper: http://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Frequently_Asked_Questions#Can_I_mount_existing_Ext3_as_Ext4.3F_And_vice_versa.3F_Similarly_from_Ext2_to_Ext4_and_its_reverse.3F [05:22] hai [05:22] i did that in reverse then i am wanting to pull hd to image [05:22] laza_: ubuntu doesn't filter any ports by default [05:22] grouper: the important part being "Once you have enabled extents or created a journal on a former ext2 filesystem, it is an ext4 filesystem and cannot be reverted to ext2. " [05:22] Ben64, than why is it closed? :S [05:22] dd if=/dev/sda of=image.img that look better [05:22] SnakDoc: if means input file... so i think your command is backwards [05:22] closed just means not in use [05:22] filtered = firewalled [05:22] SnakDoc: also, why are you doing this? [05:23] raylu was wanting to make system image you know of better way this was just my idea [05:23] raylu i had used dd command in past [05:23] SnakDoc: yes, but why do you want a system image? rsync is better for incremental backups, and you can choose to not back up certain sections [05:24] SnakDoc: there are also a ton of other backup tools for keeping smaller backup files by date [05:24] SnakDoc: dd should be a last resort for backing stuff up [05:24] is there like a way to recover ubuntu? [05:24] raylu i am formatting cause i have to but would like to restore right back to as is [05:24] SnakDoc: if it makes it easier to remember, you can skip dd and just use "cp /dev/sda /some/image.img" to make an image and "cp /some/image.img /dev/sda" to restore it [05:24] SnakDoc: then... why are you formatting?

[05:29] ya im on 9.04 [05:29] i have my install disk but i didnt see any recovery options..

[05:32] coreyman- it depends on if you have a true hardware RAID controller or one of the fake controllers that actually do the work in software [05:32] really old mobility readon.. [05:32] dragnslcr I've been trying to figure it out.. I think it's one of the fake controllers.

Im new here [05:44] hello [05:44] Quick question: Best backup program for Ubuntu that supports FTP and encryption? [05:44] Nitheesh: That's not for this channel to support Ruby on Rails. Try the proper channel. [05:44] grouper: http://lwn.net/Articles/245002/ [05:44] any idea why it takes half 20 minutes to burn a dvd in jaunty? [05:44] Zylstra555: why ftp? [05:45] Zylstra555: ftp transmits passwords in cleartext, so... [05:45] raylu: Because thats what I have available [05:45] !backup | Zylstra555 [05:45] Zylstra555: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [05:45] raylu: Ah, but, if the data you are sending is encrypted in a different format, it won't make a difference [05:45] Zylstra555: Maybe rsync + external encrypted hard drive? [05:45] Zylstra555: what, does the account not have read access? [05:46] Zylstra555: Avoid FTP, use SFTP instead. [05:46] FTP is fine [05:46] the FTP server is on the local network [05:46] and, SFTP is extremely slow [05:46] bye [05:46] guys how long does it take you to burn a dvd in jaunty? [05:46] ZzZ: depends on burner speed, hard drive speed, and other stuff [05:46] wrapster: why are you running dpkg-buildpackage on a .deb? [05:47] Error: I could not see your service on 77.234.74.191 on port (65500) [05:47] Reason: Connection refused do yo think my isp filter my ports? [05:47] Zylstra555: even if your data is encrypted, a user with the password can delete your files regardless [05:47] raylu: unless I make it so they can't. But, its on the local network [05:47] raylu: Its not an FTP system accessible by the outside [05:47] Zylstra555: and if security is not an issue because you're on a local network, why are you encrypting the data? [05:47] Ben64, my laptop is 1 year old, it came with vista, and used to burn dvds in under 3 minutes... just dont understand [05:48] raylu: To prevent people from reading it [05:48] use scp [05:48] ZzZ: increase burner speed in whatever program you're using to burn [05:48] ZzZ: depends on the speed and how much data. Can be up to 40 minutes or so if your burner is slow (or speed set slow) to burn a full disk. [05:48] !ubu‌ntu [05:48] Sorry, I don't know anything about ubu‌ntu [05:48] HAHAHA [05:49] Zylstra555: ok. if the data is going to be backed up multiple times, consider running an rsync daemon. you're likely to get better speeds than sftp/scp [05:49] Ben64, I tried brasero, cd/dvd creator, now trying gnome baker... all the same duration somehow [05:49] increase speed?????? [05:49] raylu: The backup goes to a Windows computer... I'm just not sure if I want to try getting Rsync to work with Windows [05:49] also, i suggest k3b, very excellent burner [05:49] Ben64, yes, at 16 [05:49] Zylstra555: oh, fun. i have no idea then, since i don't have any experience with backup tools. ubottu should have given you some links, though [05:50] k3b i havent tried yet.. probably should [05:50] raylu: Looks like I found a solution, on the ubuntu backup page :) [05:50] ZzZ: gnome-backer, brasero and the other default gnome dvd burning software all ultimately end up using 'wodim'. Not sure what k3b does, but you could give it a try [05:51] soreau, wodim is what? [05:51] Can anyone help me with my gnome-panel?

[06:17] I'm having trouble getting my touchpad to be seen in linux. I'm also having trouble with my laptops screen only setting the brightness from 0 to 1.

You should add a Virtual line increasing it to at least 2560x2048. Are you having desktop effects starting as well or does this happen at the login screen? [06:21] I've been trying to configure it with Aticonfig, and it happens once I press enter on sudo aticonfig --enable-monitor=crt1,tv [06:22] if I restart the PC, it works fine at the login screen and then reverts to cloned screens at the desktop [06:22] Whitt: When does the corruption first happen?

Easiest would be to test with both at 640x480 to see if it's a resolution problem. The reality is that fglrx no longer supports you card but the open ati driver does. Try turning off desktop effects [06:29] whitt: ^^ [06:30] stand by me [06:30] please stand by me [06:30] whitt: If 'fglrxinfo' talks about ati and not mesa, the fglrx driver should already be working ok [06:30] whitt: Or rather, at least be installed ok [06:31] lsdeviant: this is a support channel for ubuntu, please keep the singing out [06:31] :D hey. support needs all the love it can get.

If you are looking for system help, please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community - the Ubuntu community documentation. [06:37] xim_: no problem [06:37] can i install ubuntu on a new system as my only OS [06:37] lol but i want to reinstall quick so i can watch a movie since alpha karma crapped out my sound [06:37] any one call me? [06:38] cbet: of course [06:38] Cbet: Yes [06:39] so i just download ubuntu, burn to cd, finish my build and bios my boot to the dvd drive and pop in my ubuntu cd? [06:39] xim_: I'd settle for that. Wouldn't even install on the box I tried it on. [06:40] Cbet: You mean building your machine? Then yes, sounds right [06:41] HobbleAlong, karmic alpha you mean? ive been using it since the 4th, (i know cause i got the daily build) and it has been slowly rotting and decaying into a filthy stinking mess [06:41] ;p [06:41] Cbet: yep, that's pretty much it. Don't forget to burn the iso in image mode. If it's your first time with Ubuntu, I recommend 8.04 LTS, as it's the most stable. [06:42] <[deXter]> Does the Ubuntu have laptop-friendly features like hotkeys for changing LCD brightness, battery care, CPU throttling, and good power management schemes? [06:42] [deXter]: it sure does [06:42] [deXter]: not supported on all laptops though, [06:42] <[deXter]> ikonia, is there a list of supported laptops+features? [06:42] xim_: yes, Alpha 4. In 11 tries never got through the fomat ext3 or ext4. [06:42] [deXter]: not specifcally as that would change every day/week as laptops come out [06:43] <[deXter]> Hmm, fair enough. [06:43] [deXter]: most "main" brand laptops/hardware will have support [06:43] <[deXter]> I'm on a Sony VAIO [06:43] <[deXter]> near about an year old [06:43] HobbleAlong, lol im sure itll be good on release tho [06:43] [deXter]: they do thinks different (typical sony) but I'd put a small bet on that you'd be fine [06:44] [deXter]: just google sony vaio ubuntu & see what people say [06:44] HobbleAlong: xim_ 9.10 support is in #ubuntu+1 [06:44] <[deXter]> I'm a bit skeptical, because I've tried Windows 7 on this laptop and it couldn't find the drivers for the power management features [06:45] thank you, is there any other resources i could check out? [06:45] xim_: Always seems to make it. [06:46] [deXter]: windows 7 has nothing to do with anything, don't use it as a bench mark [06:46] xim_: thanks for that [06:47] lol@ikonia [06:47] ? [06:48] lol [06:48] ? [06:48] funny and true [06:48] what is ? [06:49] Cbet: if you're used to windows, one approach is to run windows and then install ubuntu into vmware or virtualbox. That way you can get a feel for ubuntu without having to commit totally to it... [06:49] that win 7 thingy [06:49] I downloaded gnash from the GNU site and I'm trying to install. I've not got much experience with compiling and installing from source, and when I run ./configure, part of the output is this: http://pastebin.com/m46cd25ae What I'm wondering is, do I have to install all of those in order to install gnash, and is there a way to do it all at once, or must I do them all at once? [06:50] Er, must I do them one at a time? [06:50] Andorin: I hear disappointing reports about gnash i.e. it's not ready for prime time. I wouldn't waste time on it yet.. [06:51] I see. I was hoping to have a free alternative to Adobe Flash. =x [06:51] I'm getting a "Fatal: raid_setup: stat("/dev/sdh")" when I update a fresh install of 9.04, happens for linux-restricted-modules with LILO [06:51] cbet, just dive in, its not hard, id say ubuntu is as easy as macintosh, then when you have a malfunction, come here and ask about it and you will learn [06:51] xim_: Assuming you get your problem solved that is [06:51] Andorin: eventually you will. Just not yet... [06:51] Andorin, but to answer your more general question of installing dependencies one at a time, yes....unless you opt to install from *verse repositories [06:52] Andorin: Yes, you would need development packages installed to provide the headers necessary for compilation. Or, you could just install gnash from ubuntu repos [06:52] I can install it from repos? Note to self: Stop forgetting about the fact that you have a hugely convenient set of repositories that you can check... [06:53] Andorin, (i still think of flash being macromedia, adobe flash sounds strange) why are you not installing through a package manager? [06:53] It was never this easy in Windows, which is what I used for years before switching. [06:53] <[deXter]> Andorin, Ditch flash already. Switch to HTML5. [06:53] xim_: Because I forget about the repos? ^^; [06:54] Andorin, yeah always goto synaptic first to install anything, for flash theres a free and nonfree version, ive had trouble with both tho honestly, flash is one o the things linux has yet to get its act together with IMO [06:54] hi, i'm a little confused. to be able to have a partition bootable by the computer, does it have to have the boot flag on the partition? [06:54] xim_: I've actually not had many problems with Flash in Linux. I haven't tried the free version, though. [06:55] d0wn: You should also have a working bootable kernel installed on it [06:56] Andorin, maybe that waas my problem, but npviewer.bin is a major memory hog and sometimes goes rogue or crashes or you will get a blank grey box instead of the intended flash 1/10 times i thought with both versions but maybe it was just the free one [06:56] soreau: so if i have a seperate partition for /boot/, should that one be the only one with the boot flag? [06:56] How can I get dpkg to reconfigure a package? I don't see the option in the man page :\ [06:56] xim_: Perhaps I ought to wait around until gnash is more dependable? [06:56] d0wn: strangely no it doesn't need to be set. In fact I have an Ubuntu server admin book that says not to set it??? [06:56] d0wn: I would assume, but not entirely sure. Try it! [06:57] Mike_lifeguard: Look harder. I see it in the manpage. :) === Chazz is now known as Asleep [06:58] Andorin, i had never heard of gnash but you gotta have a flash player or your internets will suxxcks, id just go with the nonfree mozilla plugin [06:58] Andorin, it still works 9/10 times [06:58] oh goodness :[ i've done it now :[ i messed up my windows truecrypt [06:58] xim_: I do have the nonfree. I was simply interested in converting to the free version, provided that it's good enough. [06:58] rescue disk ftw [06:58] Andorin: It could take years before gnash works properly. And flash caused a lot of problems for many people in 9.04. In 8.04 it just works... [06:59] losher: Odd, because I run 9.04 and I can't think of any outstanding problems I've had with it. [06:59] leaf-sheep: if you use --configure will that work? [06:59] Mike_lifeguard: dpkg-reconfigure [06:59] Andorin, ahic well try it and see worst case you go back to nonfree, my flash problems were with 8.10 which i just upgraded from [06:59] xim_: If I install it will it conflict with the Adobe plugin? Should I remove it? [06:59] lovely, thanks [07:00] Andorin: no need to take my word for it, check the #ubuntu archives since 9.04 came out... [07:00] Mike_lifeguard: Yes. "Reconfigure an unpacked package. If -a o --pending is given instead of package, all unpacked but unconfigured packages are configured." [07:00] anyways, i forgot to thank both soreau and HobbleAlong for your help. thanks! [07:01] hola [07:02] I'm having dpkg problems [07:03] why is 8.04 maintanined until 2011 but 9.04 is only maintained until 2010? [07:03] because 8.04 is a long term release [07:04] Andorin, id only install one at a time, just so you know where any problems are coming from [07:04] xim_: Alright, thanks. [07:04] hello somebody can help me with the webcam 110 genius installation in ubuntu 9.04 [07:04] np [07:04] !lts | xim [07:04] xim: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Hardy (Hardy Heron 8.04). The next LTS release is scheduled to be 10.04 [07:05] so ubuntu has skeletons in the closet eh. [07:05] vicmmuran: can you please provide a pastebin of: lsusb [07:05] qwm: can you expand on that?

[07:06] qwm: i can't all my *nix boxes are in boxes [07:07] that's ironic. [07:07] qwm: how? [07:07] boxes in boxes. [07:07] no thats a coincidence [07:07] qwm: yeah, that happens a lot. its not ironic at all [07:07] irony is when something normally would be one way and instead its another [07:07] does anybody know where I can find libgmp.so.3, I need it for a game to work and cant find the file for download anywere, im using ubuntu 8.10 64bit but need libgmp.so.3 in 32bit for targetware.. where can i download this file? [07:08] ok, it's just a little funny [07:08] qwm: i bet you are an american [07:08] how much? [07:08] :p [07:08] What is ironic is he's provided support for that which he is not running :) [07:08] caveman27: sudo apt-get install apt-file; sudo apt-file update; sudo apt-file find libgmp.so.3 [07:08] qwm: enough [07:09] ty [07:09] i'm swedish [07:09] hey fellas, i have a wireless question if anyone can help [07:09] qwm: just like all that stuff in Ironic by Alannis Morisette isnt ironic either [07:09] i have a bcm4328 and i cant get it actually find wireless signals [07:09] qwm: Install da lee-nux, bork bork bork. :-D [07:10] * KB1JWQ knows next to nothing about Sweden besides the swedish chef on sesame street.

[07:11] ! ot | qwm [07:11] qwm: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [07:11] LSD|Ninja: i refuse to buy systems with them in or aapters based on them [07:12] qwm: try #skeletons [07:12] Where is the channel which actually does support? :P [07:12] soreau: merci beaucoup chéri [07:12] !support [07:12] The official ubuntu support channel is #ubuntu. Also see http://ubuntu.com/support and http://ubuntuforums.org [07:12] Really, could have fooled me :P [07:13] shouldn't it say "this #ubuntu" [07:13] Paraj: thats because you are easily fooled [07:13] every #ubuntu can't be official [07:13] qwm: irc channels must be unique [07:14] Okay, hi. So I have a headset (with a mic that does not work), and a webcam that I use as a mic. When I do not have the webcam plugged in, my audio works fine, ie youtube videos load correctly. Now if I plug in the webcam, youtube videos no longer work. In alsamixer, all it says is Card: USB20 Camera ... I can not get back to the other device, which is named USB too. Here is a screenshot of the settings that work perfectly in Mumble; is ther [07:14] e a way I can make them operate like that globally? I would be pleased if that is possible. http://i25.tinypic.com/28i9rbn.png ..... thank you in advance! [07:14] qwm: you can have #ubuntu on another irc server but the one which is on freenode is the official one [07:15] hi, I was trying to install flashplugin-installer, and I had to kill the dpkg process because I lost wifi, and it froze while downloading. so i had to kill the dpkg process, and now I cannot install it. it says it is already installed, which it isnt [07:16] hey there [07:16] is it possible to scroll horizontal with multitouch [07:16] in ubuntu 9.04 [07:16] d0wn: Why not install flashplugin-nonfree? [07:16] soreau: what is the difference? [07:17] kismet: Check Mouse Preferences. [07:17] hello [07:17] leaf-sheep: i will thanks [07:17] d0wn: That's a good question. Why are you trying to install flashplugin-installer? [07:17] hola [07:17] this channel is in spanish? [07:18] no [07:18] #ubuntu-es [07:18] ! es | luis_ [07:18] luis_: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [07:18] hola [07:18] leaf-sheep: do i have to restart [07:18] /join #ubuntu-es [07:18] tengo un problema [07:18] luis_, ^ [07:18] luis_ /j #ubuntu-es [07:18] soreau: I did it directly from Firefox when it detected a needed plugin. it was the only adobe option. nevermind though, flashplugin-nonfree worked :] [07:19] Anyone care to take a swing at where I can find more information for this warning I'm seeing in syslog? "Aug 21 00:18:21 slicktop NetworkManager:  check_one_route(): (eth1) error -34 returned from rtnl_route_del(): Sucess" [07:19] anyone know why brasero would not detect a blank disc in the drive even tho ubuntu does and puts a blank cd icon on the desktop? [07:19] kismet: I don't think so. I just know it is there when I edited my mouse preference once upon a time. [07:19] how do i make file sort by name? like a usb drive that doesn't sort my abc [07:19] d0wn: sudo apt-get --reinstall install flashplugin-installer [07:20] Is it just me of is http://www.ubuntu.com/support/paid down ? [07:20] or is* === majuk is now known as mjauk === mjauk is now known as majuk [07:21] Paraj: http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com [07:21] Paraj: you need never ask again [07:21] my name is llf [07:21] LLF [07:21] ?can i set terminal as a log viewer? something like console on macs? [07:22] `nano /path/to/logs [07:22] I wanted to play quicktime videos in browser so I installed "ubuntu-restricted-extras" and it still doesn't play quicktime and now it has my fonts all messed up. So I uninstalled/purged it and the fonts are still screwy... How do I fix this? [07:22] So it is down, I'll use the Google cache [07:22] vitek_: watch /path/to/log [07:22] vitek_: You can monitor files, such as longs, with tail -f /path/to/file. It'll keep montioring that file and output any changes [07:22] thanks guys [07:22] Myrtti: watch will try and run a command ... [07:23] Mez: hm, true [07:23] Myrtti: I think you mean tail -f /path/to/log? [07:23] Yea he does. [07:23] ;) [07:23] Paraj: whack it in your favourites and you are set for life [07:23] majuk: who? [07:23] majuk: Myrtti is a she. (well, either that, or has a really good plastic surgeon!) [07:23] the thing is, i need to monitor realtime operations something like when you start a program from a terminal, but altogether and timestamped. [07:24] Paraj: With the number of reinstall I do it won't last long [07:24] I blame on the fact of being without coffee for a week due to doctors orders... (and yesyes, I know it's better suited for #ubuntu-offtopic) [07:24] Mez, Myrtti: Sorry my psychic powers failed me. [07:25] Paraj: then put /home on a sperate partition [07:25] Paraj: or have a backup copy of ~/.mozilla before reinstall [07:25] ActionParsnip: I knew you'd say that, means nothing I can't get the damn OS working [07:25] vitek_: Are you saying tail -f is not what you want? [07:25] if* [07:25] hmm still not working my scrolling with multitouch [07:25] anyone bother with antivirus on Ubuntu? I have AVG on my winXP partition but haven't thought about adding any on Ubuntu [07:25] * Mez hugs Myrtti. Allowed tea? [07:26] ! virus | darlek [07:26] darlek: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [07:26] darlek: Anti-Virus is optional in the world of *nix. [07:26] havent tried yet, got here a nice desktop mess to deal with first :) [07:26] thought so, thanks both soreau leaf-sheep [07:26] dose anyone know how the horizontal scroll with multitouch works [07:27] darlek: I run nightly scans wth clamav. But thats just to make sure I dont get viruses downloaded. They'd probably not run if I tried them, but I could potentially send them to other people. Plus, I have to, for PCI compliance .:( [07:27] Paraj: well keep punching till you work it out, if you use advanced partitioning you canspecify partition sizes, you need a swap partition a / partition and a /home partition, make / about 10Gb and use the rest for /home, when you reinstall, simply tell the installer the format the / partition and tell it to mount the largest partition as /home [07:27] vitek_: Well try it, that's what you're looking for I'm pretty sure. You can even monitor multiple log files in the same terminal with &. [07:27] if you are insanely paranoid, bitdefender has a free distro for linux [07:27] how i remove a partition from this same HD? [07:27] yeah it works, thanks :) very helpful. [07:27] ActionParsnip: That's not the problem, my problems all relate after installation like the one I'm having now with updating the assorted linux-restricted-module [07:27] Mez, ah i see, so it's good to have to scan from linux at windows or at files I might send [07:28] Um_cara_qualquer: i'd do it in a livecd environment [07:28] darlek: yup. Espescially if you handle Credit Card info. [07:28] how [07:28] Mez, good reason! [07:28] Um_cara_qualquer: gparted [07:29] TheCheeze, had not heard of that one, I don't think I need anything crazy huge [07:29] Um_cara_qualquer: boot to your install CD like you did when you installed, you can then use gparted to delete whatever partition you like (WARNING: The data will be destroyed when you do so tread VERY carefully) [07:29] darlek: not a good reason. A neccesary reason. If you don't, your company can potentially be shut down in a PCI audit. [07:29] or fined stupid amounts of money [07:30] Mez, well, with so much fraud abounding these days you don't want to be tarred with someone else's problems [07:30] Mez : thus you are not sued ;) [07:31] Most people just use a third party for credit card processing since the audits alone cost upwards of 10k [07:31] Paraj: does your CD verify as ok? Bad media will make a bad install [07:31] is there a root password in Ubuntu? [07:31] is it possible to log in as root? [07:31] ActionParsnip: Media is fine [07:31] GungaDin, no, check out sudo [07:31] Paraj: ok thats cool [07:31] Okay, hi. So I have a headset (with a mic that does not work), and a webcam that I use as a mic. When I do not have the webcam plugged in, my audio works fine, ie youtube videos load correctly. Now if I plug in the webcam, youtube videos no longer work. In alsamixer, all it says is Card: USB20 Camera ... I can not get back to the other device, which is named USB too.

I would be pleased if that is possible. http://i25.tinypic.com/28i9rbn.png ..... thank you in advance! [07:31] darlek - what if I messed up sudoers? [07:31] ActionParsnip: I get a "Fatal: raid_setup: stat("/dev/sdh")" error during update for linux-restricted-module s. I'm using LILO [07:31] darlek: *shrugs* I just know what I know because of work. [07:31] I can't sudo anything [07:31] darlek: Knowingly send out infected files to your Windows buddies and listen to the sound of them whining as they hose down their machines. It's their fault for running Windows especially when they don't update and maintain their AntiVirus software. :) [07:31] !sudo | GungaDin [07:31] GungaDin: 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) [07:32] And if one more person tells me to use Grub....

[07:33] GungaDin: if its not an official release its not supported here [07:33] ActionParsnip: This is a single boot also, at first I thought it was because my /boot partition was too small (As shown in a few bugs in launchpad) but that's not the case [07:33] ok [07:33] thx [07:33] GungaDin, yep it's unnecessary as noted about in the ubottu post.

[08:19] di||itante: yes, im probably looking for squid...

[09:50] ShawnC, just reach into the case and crank the power on it [09:52] MrEgg964, i use FreeNX for that exactly that. Works like a charm for me, you can also use it to provide remote assitance using the "shadow" option too [09:53] Paraj: i used smbmount.... its got to be easier than that.. [09:53] very handy :) [09:53] b3rz3rk3r, I've tried the alternatives (nomachine and vnc) and freenx beats them all. running pidgin using it now. [09:53] b3rz3rk3r: shadow? I'm not familiar with that. What does it do specifically? [09:53] i mean you should beable to go to network, click work group see the computer then see all the shares under whatever box under that workgroup [09:53] fishy6969, yup, right on. i recommend it to everyone [09:54] crazy hard for anyone new to linux [09:54] MrEgg964, instead of creating a new session on that box, you can connect to an already open session and collaborate [09:54] !rules [09:54] The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [09:54] when I try to print, I get NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME, then unable to connect to CIFS host. any ideas? [09:55] b3rz3rk3r. Google have put together an nx alternative - neatx. Seems to have some good features but not as 'complete'. May be worth a look in 6 months? [09:55] b3rz3rk3r: Excellent.

[09:57] muhammed: go to repositories and uncheck install from cd rom [09:58] b3rz3rk3r:isnt that a terminal app....does it support file transfers?? [09:58] MrEgg964, that really depends on what your users are running, so its hard to say [09:58] how could i do this [09:58] ? [09:58] lol that was fairly obvious i suppose [09:58] muhammed: in synaptic>settings>repositories [09:59] ok ..brb [09:59] KoolD, yes it is, and yes it does.. but if you want something more graphical id look into pidgin or an extention for Firefox maybe? [09:59] b3rz3rk3r: you're right, of course. Suppose openoffice related stuff, up to 10 MB per file.

[10:00] it works [10:00] muhammed: i know [10:00] MrEgg964, if you are just running word processing and file hosting for a small LAN, id say dont even worry about it mate ;) That will be more than sufficient imo [10:00] :) [10:00] b3rz3rk3r: yeah ..i like xchat too but this lags bugging me...guess i'll go for irssi [10:01] b3rz3rk3r: thanks [10:01] fishy6969, im gonna be in the UK next week, whats the best carrier there atm?

No way to make it behave and index while idle.. [10:28] silare: PM me [10:28] is it possible to have mysql-server-4.0 with php5 and apache2? [10:28] nikolam: locate is good [10:28] niko, and GUI? [10:29] no gui for locate [10:29] so? [10:29] majuk1: On IRC still or on Ubuntu forums? [10:29] rsk: network manager shows the user friendly names?.... i need it for kismet... unless im looking wrong [10:29] I want GUI that can search contents of files [10:29] oh. [10:29] MrEgg964: Accepted, you are absolutely right, but does it stops user experience, i mean user may feel like not trying further if u prompt him?? i am just suggesting.. [10:29] thanks though [10:31] Hi guys, every 120 seconds, ath5k_pci (my wlan module) is my top process for 10 seconds and lags all network connection. Any idea why this happens? [10:31] Catfish simply not working with any search option [10:32] im using ddrescue in order to copy the files from a corrupted external hd onto one of my hds, command is "ddrescue -r 1 /dev/sde1 -o /dev/sda1/BackUp1 rescued.log" but this copies em directly on the disk, i want em to be copied in a specific folder, the starting position on the output file's command is "-o" but i dont really know where to put this "-o", and how to specifiy the folder, any idea? [10:33] optimus: I see it the other way around. As a user you want to install your application, right. Psychologically, I find it better to first prepare (ie install the required deps), then install the proper application, then run it ; rather than installing the actual application only to find out that it doesn't work yet. What I mean is, logically, we want to be able to run the app right after we've installed it. [10:34] I get this error message when i try to log in through phpmyadmin : #2002 - The server is not responding (or the local MySQL server's socket is not correctly configured). Will someone please help? [10:35] Hey all, I did a apt-get upgrade and now my domain controller is messed up. I believe the server has the incorrect ldap password [10:35] any idea? [10:36] MrEgg964: good theory, might change my view.. [10:40] Hello everybody, I have a problem with grub. On my hd I have intalled two distro frist Fedora and after Ubuntu on a volume group.

[10:56] QuantumKaos: Look in GParted [10:56] Oh, nevermind. He/She ditched. =/ [10:57] Anyone know where I can find some docs on how to configure pppoe at command line?

[11:00] eltese [11:00] anyone? [11:00] anyone has any idea what is hal-system-smbi process, google shows nothing, it takes all my CPU [11:00] ah sorry my bad. Im using Ubuntu 9.04 [11:01] hiya, I've got processes that are getting no CPU time. their 'waiting channel' says 'futex_wait', but I have heaps of CPU free. The processes are Matlab, which runs Java, but I'm pretty sure I started them withoug Java. Any suggestions? [11:01] QuantumKaos: Go into your Partition Editor/GParted and see if your partition is still in there. [11:01] eltese: Architecture? [11:01] running 9.04 vanilla on Core2Quad [11:01] silare: hm? Gnome if thats what you mean :) [11:02] silare: it is, also in media, when i try to open it, it asks my for the root password cuz "internal policy prevents drives to be mounted" ???? [11:02] eltese: That's desktop environment. =P Architecture means 32-bit (x86 or i386) or 64-bit (x86_64 or amd64). [11:02] silare: ah ok =) 32-bit [11:03] QuantumKaos: If it's in GParted, did it have any warnings or anything attached to it? If it has that triangle sign with the ! inside it, you might wanna' view its properties. [11:03] silare: and Ive used both the adobe packages in synaptic and the ones from adobe's homepage. With no difference [11:03] I'm pretty sure this problem has appeared with the latest kernel (or maybe the prev one - there were two kernel updates in a few days, IIRC) - are there any known bugs with that? [11:03] eltese: Erk. When did you download the new Adobe plugins? because the one I DL'd lately seems to have no bugs on it. I can watch things fine. [11:04] *and by lately I mean two weeks ago. [11:04] when did you download the new Adobe plugins? because the one I Dl'd lately seems to have no bugs on it. [11:06] silare: hmms well I did download it yesterday. Maybe Ive done it wrong though [11:07] i created a RAID-1, how do i mount it now? [11:07] actually, in gparted it says it is already mounted, but i cant see it... [11:08] when i do df it doesnt display [11:08] i only see sdc1... i should see sda1 and sdb1 also, correct? [11:09] I have 4 ethernet ports in my server. Only the one that is connected is showing. [11:09] Do the ports need to be plugged in? [11:09] eltese: Try reinstalling the one from Adobe - not the one in the *buntu repos or whatever, but the Adobe ones. [11:10] eltese: And make sure if you DID install flashplugin-nonfree or whatever you remove them too.

Can I do that via the terminal? Cos I have no clue how to do it :s [11:12] eltese: lol It's fine. Terminal? Umm. If you wanna' do it by command line, then do you know if you installed any packages via APT earlier for Flash? If you do and know the package names, aptitude remove should do it.

Glad it worked somehow. o.O [11:15] azlon: Navigating through the Command Line... See them as in the contents of them or what? You have to mount them before you can see them. [11:16] Buenas a la gente del canal [11:16] sorry [11:17] had to get new batteries for my mouse [11:17] silare, gparted says they are mounted, but i cant find them [11:17] silare, they are 2 drives as a RAID-1... this is my first time playing with a RAID so i don't really know what i am doing [11:18] azlon: Hmm. Does GParted specify a Mount POint? [11:18] no === ubuntu_ is now known as revil [11:18] brb, i need to restart [11:19] ok, any ideas how to get glassfish install on jaunty? installing glassfish-javaee doesn't seem to do a lot [11:19] same with glassfish-appserv and glassfish-activation [11:19] none of these give me a working glassfish that I can see [11:20] I got Nvidia x server program and every start up i need to set resolution cose it's every time 800x600 low and when i press button Save to x configuration file it say unable to remove old x config backup.

[11:23] silare: not in jaunty it won't [11:23] silare: isn't that disabled in 9.04? [11:23] or do Ctrl+Alt+F1 [11:23] VisualBoyAdvance [11:23] !dontzap [11:23] to switch to console [11:23] To re-enable the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace combination that restarts your X server, you can install the "dontzap" package and use the command « sudo dontzap --disable ». The combination Alt+SysRq+K can also be used to obtain a similar effect. [11:23] By default. If you have don'tzap... [11:23] Yeah. What ubottu said.

[11:24] silare, ok im back... mouse is working again [11:24] silare: sorry not you [11:24] ikonia: <_< I think you mean SandCat. [11:24] I did [11:24] silare, so i created a RAID-1 and now i dont know how to mount it [11:24] silare, hold on... let me see if anything changed since i restarted === JEEBcz is now known as JEEB [11:25] azlon: Wilkommen.

O.o [11:26] silare, GParted sees the two drives (sda and sdb) as mounted, but when i do df it doesnt display them [11:27] silare: i don't know what problem he have [11:27] azlon: Gah... What df? === _MakubeX is now known as MakubeX [11:27] Guest20025: Well, SandCat had a problem with VisualBoyAdvance (fullscreen app) crashing on him and he didn't wanna' do a hard shutdown on his computer, so I told him to kill X. [11:28] silare, i type "df" to display my drive information... i dunno [11:28] well [11:29] I think I pressed something I shouldn't have [11:29] silare: sorry, didn't notice, i thought u send message to me. Nvidia x server don't save me resolution so i have to do it with every startup. [11:29] SandCat: Why? [11:29] what is ctrl-alt-F1 SUPPOSED to do? [11:29] Guest20025: Oh. >_o It's fine. Hmm... You're editing things through your xserver-xconfig file? [11:29] SandCat: press the keys and find out :P [11:29] SandCat: Opens a virtual terminal. [11:29] my screen turned off, and my laptop screen gave me a terminal prompt [11:29] SandCat: BEFORE YOU HIT IT... [11:30] I already did lol [11:30] azlon: are you sure that df sees the ntfs format or does it only see ext? [11:30] I mean, when I dissapeared earlier [11:30] SandCat: Know that when you do it and it goes Command Line on you... When it goes into Command Line mode... I think Alt+F7 breaks you out. [11:30] silare: only resolution cose different way it is not workin [11:30] *Ctrl+Alt+F7 [11:30] ok [11:30] AmbientShade, uhmm... i only sees my ext drive which is sdc [11:31] it* [11:31] azlon: then it only probably sees fs formats that are ext [11:31] Guest20025: ...When you edit your xconfig, it doesn't keep the changes? [11:31] AmbientShade, how can i see my NTFS drives? [11:32] cool [11:32] so I can use that terminal to kill the crashed program? [11:32] azlon: ubuntu normally auto mounts drives that are just plugged in... can you unplug them and replug them? [11:32] AmbientShade, does it matter that they are in RAID? [11:33] azlon: is it a hardware raid or a software raid? [11:33] software [11:33] azlon: you should probably consult forums for the software raid and ubuntu... I'm not familiar with software raids at all [11:33] the tutorial i am following told me to put "/dev/md0 /var/media auto defaults 0 3" in my /etc/fstab file... but the tutorial is for RAID-5 with 3 drives and i am doing a RAID-1 with 2 drives [11:34] azlon: I have a hardware raid working with ubuntu server and it automatically recognizes it [11:34] hrmm [11:34] ok [11:34] thx [11:35] silare: only until i turn off comp, then i need to set it again wtih start up [11:35] !fstab [11:35] SandCat: You can. killall visualboyadvance or so.

Only thing what i am able to try with my comp skills is to press button save x configuration, what it send me thaty is not able to do that. [11:39] probable worked with ubuntu-restricted extras I guess [11:39] lessshaste: Yes. [11:39] but had this setup so long dunno what things Ive added by now :) [11:39] SandCat: You're welcome. =3 If things like your GNOME Panel act up or anything either, killall gnome-panel is nice to have. ^_~ [11:39] does anyone know where i can find how i can strip an installed version of ubuntu down to the minimum, i need to make it as small as i can [11:39] ok.. so gstreamer on ubuntu is a total failure! [11:40] lessshaste: To be fair, I'm actually on Mint, not Ubuntu. >_>; [11:40] deedub1: Which plugins do you have in your firefox? (one of them should be handling mp4 video) [11:40] i have done a dpkg -l and removed everythign i can, and removed all the docs and mans and so on [11:40] silare, :) [11:40] hehe, I just tested it, the fullscreen actually has a different process name from the frontend, so my method didn't kill it, good thing I tested it before I let it crash on me again. [11:41] hi, probably a silly question but is there a way to start programs from terminal without locking it ? [11:41] scyx: Command & [11:41] pro: there is a non-official ubuntu-derivative projetc called U-lite, see http://u-lite.org/ [11:41] Guest20025: Ouch. D: Hmm. You saved it while you're Super User editing it and then it still changed back? [11:41] scyx: put a & at the en of the command line [11:41] oh, that's easier than i thought :p thanks [11:41] odder, thanks [11:41] Guest20025: Try and figure out what's changing it or so... Or if you have some process where NVIDIA tries to change something on bootup/shutdown, cut it. [11:41] ok got vlc, mozplayer, shockwave 10, and divx player [11:42] scyx: to get it back on konsole you have to enter "fg" [11:42] I am having a lot more fun with the ubuntu terminal then I ever did with DOS X3 [11:42] SandCat: why is that [11:42] any user here with Intel GL40 chipsetIntel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500M> [11:42] SandCat: UNIX Terminal > Command Prompt xD (Although I'm aware too that Command Prompt is DOS: Crap Edition.) [11:42] silare: where i would find bootup/shutdown? [11:43] shutdown -h 0 [11:43] I want to know about jaunty's graphics performance on Intel GL40 chipsetIntel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500M? [11:43] anybody? [11:44] I probably because I know more now, actually, I liked using DOS commands over doing things through windows anyway. [11:44] Its a new compaq laptop that my friend has bought [11:44] I like power XD [11:44] [14:19] how to install a shared printer.. that is on another network in hardy heron [11:44] [14:19] the ip is 172.16.1.66 and the share name is HP .. everyone having windows uses it but i cant [11:45] Comboy -- what you using?

[11:51] or is it my computer that have some poor graphic driver issue ? [11:52] iamleneko, nope [11:52] Guest20025: Gah. Sorry I vanished. D: Umm... Startup Applications. [11:52] Dunno' about shutdown though. ._. [11:52] ziggyfish, you have decent performance ? [11:52] yes, always had better performance that windows [11:53] ??? [11:53] iamleneko: It is normal that JS-performance is a bit worse - but not dramatically [11:53] you made comparaison ? [11:53] don't know kde too well here. [11:53] or it feel like it is ? [11:53] feels like [11:53] silare: and then what? [11:53] strange in opposite the chromium version is faster on linux than the chrome on windows [11:53] Guest20025: Look and see if anything involving your xconfig or NVIDIA is around... If not, I dunno'... D: Hmm... [11:54] iamleneko: I made the comparision between windows Vista, Fedora 10 and Ubuntu 9.04 some time ago. Windows was best, Fedora a tiny bit worse than windows and ubuntu another bit worse [11:54] so it is not a linux issue but an ubuntu one === heroidi is now known as heroid [11:54] iamleneko: At least partially, but windows builds are generally better bec. of the better compiler [11:55] Hello all. I was wondering if anyone on here has any experience with audio issues in Ubuntu 9, for a HP DV7 laptop. [11:56] !sound | ubun00b [11:56] ubun00b: 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).

[11:57] I have a new conclusion, visualboyadvance sucks, I'm not going to use something that crashes this often. [11:58] ok [11:58] so i made some headway with my raid, but i still have issues [11:58] PolitikerNEU, also AFAIK the compiler is the same for both platforms (GNU gcc) [11:59] can i view the contents of a drive before it is mounted? like i have a RAID1 at /dev/md0 but i cant browse the contents [11:59] it says md0 is not a directory [12:00] Thx guys but I have been searching high and low for a solution to this audio, I installed the latest alsa drivers, libraries etc. If someone could look at this alsa information script - http://paste.ubuntu.com/256836/ - it might give you more an idea of the problem i have [12:00] ziggyfish: So that is strange - maybe I had a different version of the graphics driver? I also have to admit that my "benchmark" was not really exact - just moved some JS-windows fast and looked the system monitor [12:00] i really think than linux is not so great in the graphical domain, refreshing, scrolling etc is so heavy on cpu in regard of the main commercials oses. [12:01] (but kickass at networking and computing on the other hand) [12:01] it depends really on your graphics card [12:02] I had a nvidia graphics chip which is said to have good performance [12:02] maybe but for this last 10 years as a daily linux user i never had really great performance [12:03] I have! [12:03] :D [12:03] windows has backdoor :/ [12:04] i think it is maybe there is a bunch of acceleration stuff put on the graphic chip dedicated to ms windows [12:04] ? [12:04] iamleneko: They have proprietary code to interface with the technology on those cards that they've been developing and refining for years. That's the difference. [12:04] And why we're catching up. [12:05] some cards have proprietary drivers for linux, don't some even have official gpld drivers for linux? [12:06] Irishmanluke: about every card has a driver free or non-free [12:06] Irishmanluke: Yea, but it's not just the drivers, the whole DirectX code on top of that opens another world to them. X is comparitively young. [12:07] ah [12:07] Especially in terms of professional manhours. [12:08] I've gotten good performance on OpenArena with my latitude d600 [12:09] rsk: but I mean a driver that the manufactuer makes which is gpl [12:09] Irishmanluke: Sure, that's 10 year old technology. And the Quake 3 source was released to the public. That's why it's so good. [12:09] is this the right place to ask about upgrading 7.04 to 9.04? [12:09] mtlife: sure. [12:09] mtlife: what's the problem? sudo update-manager -d not working? [12:10] rsk: well, the problem is. I fixed the pc running ubuntu recently, thats why the distribution is so old [12:10] mtlife: still not seing the problem :) [12:11] rsk: with fixing it, i mean new motherboard and new graphic card. So now i can not boot into gnome or anything [12:11] mtlife: best option is fresh install of 9.04 [12:11] rsk: when i try to install nvidia legacy drivers, it tells me it cant find the package repository [12:11] mtlife: 7.04 is end of life. [12:11] How can I trick ubuntu into install a PDF printer device that I can print web pages to so they end up as PDF docs? [12:11] mtlife, isnt it time just to do a reinstall from scratch? [12:12] rsk: yeah and thats where i get anxious, my ftp, apache, mysql, svn and user base are all running on that pc [12:12] extor: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/636 [12:12] deedub1, thats what i wanted to do. but i have NO idea how to easily backup every config and every service running [12:12] extor you can print -- file -- print --- print to file, select pdf in ubuntu jaunty [12:12] mtlife, test your migration on a spare computer [12:12] !ubottu | shashwatpns [12:12] shashwatpns, please see my private message [12:13] deedub1, no actually that doesnt work. I need it to show up as a dummy printer device for when I am printing from java applets on the web [12:13] I normally backup /etc and /home and it does the trick [12:13] upgrading server in exploitation could be very very problematic [12:13] hi, how do I fix my 'broken' packages? I removed a bunch of packages through synaptic package manager and 'purged' them as well, but now when I want to re-install any of those packages that I uninstalled I get a big 'broken' packages error. http://gist.github.com/171872 [12:13] then I do /var if its a web server [12:14] mtlife, is it some personnal web server or some server in exploitation for customers [12:14] deedub1: yes, /home is on a different partition for me so that wouldnt be a problem [12:14] iamleneko: personal [12:14] extor: http://hydtech.wordpress.com/2009/03/17/how-to-print-to-pdf-in-ubuntu-intrepid-ibex-and-jaunty-jackalope/ [12:14] Hi, there don't happen to be any MySQL wizards around here? [12:14] Hi, I need to downgrade hal, how do I go about that? [12:14] I need some help allowing remote access for root user.... Incredibly enough I reinstalled my MySQL server and now I can't get it working. I've logged on localy to the MySQL server and runned GRANT SELECT ON *.* TO 'root'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD 'password' and flush privileges, but it says 0 rows affected and also it has no affect when trying to logon remotely. Any ideas anyone? [12:14] Nitrodist: try to install them using "sudo apt-get install --fix-broken $packages" === huseyinn is now known as hersoy [12:14] I've also commented out the bind = localhost in /etc/mysql/my.conf file. [12:15] Nitrodist, sudo apt-get install -f [12:15] and the www-data is in /home too, so that wouldnt be a problem either. Only i am a programmer too and i am running a svn server so i do not want to screw that up [12:15] mysql backup would be easy [12:15] Lockzi, did mysql server is bind to an accessible adress on your network ? [12:15] apt-get install cups-pdf :) [12:15] so how much data do you have to backup mtlife? [12:16] dutchbuntu, Draglor: nope, neither works [12:16] it says that nothing is broken [12:16] mmm since /home is where i keep all the personal files (including www and svn) it should stay there and be safe. I think its about 1 gig left to backup then [12:16] iamleneko: I commented out the bind. I can connect locallly with root, but not remotely since it says "root@TheMySQL-server.domain.tld access denied" something [12:17] Nitrodist, maybe sudo apt-get clean [12:17] but i want to be sure that i do not loose my svn, mysql users etc [12:17] and thats not only in the /etc folder [12:17] dutchbuntu, nope === Guest76526 is now known as ryanakca [12:17] /etc folder is small [12:17] i know [12:17] Nitrodist: Try giving apt-get ALL packages which are complained [12:17] Lockzi, same issue with another user than root ? [12:18] it sounds like you need to do a really good backup, use clonezilla or something [12:18] not just kde-base [12:18] iamleneko: I haven't tried any other user since I have a dedicated MySQL server (the one I'm trying to get working again after reformatting). I wanna manage everything remotely [12:18] Nitrodist: try sudo aptitude install kdebase sometimes aptitude offers solutions that apt-get does not [12:18] deedub1: any experience with mysql database backup? [12:19] how to access the workgruop computer in windows network [12:19] including users etc [12:19] you can manually edit your sources list and maybe take it up to 8.04 [12:19] I could try to create a new user to try [12:19] Lockzi, i'll try to set another user with @% see it is the same problem [12:19] a little with a wordpress install upstairs , but not much [12:19] hi, i am using two displays and i would like to know $DISPLAY of each one; how to do that? [12:19] iamleneko: I'll try that, thanks for your help and I'll get back to you if no success :) [12:20] deedub1, mmm manually edit sources. What are the risks involved in that? [12:20] if you take a clone of the drive, little cause you can clone it back on again [12:20] Damn this cups-pdf works in ubuntu but not on lenny. And it still doesnt fool java :( [12:21] and with the value you are putting on this data, you'd be silly to upgrade one level of os , let alone 4 or 5 without it [12:21] how to access the workgroup computer in windows network through ubuntu 9 === saf is now known as Guest61881 [12:21] Nitrodust: Have you tried the dpkg -help and such? [12:21] user_: type "smb:/" in dolphin [12:22] thanks legend2440, got it fixed (hopefully; it's still installing" [12:22] *( [12:22] iamleneko: Should I create the new user with host as localhost, or %? [12:22] *) [12:22] or any other file manager (using kde, don't know if gnome supports the sam vfs types) [12:22] % [12:22] so in your sources youd change all the feisty to hardy and its only going to upgrade two levels of OS, should work, but heck, aint done it so can't guarentee [12:22] Allright [12:22] deedub1, i agree. I have no experience with clonezilla, is it possible to open the backup in some sort of file manager and get my config from there? (should save me time backing up /etc manually) [12:22] yes you can. Its not easy. [12:23] clonezilla not easy? [12:23] What I have done in the past, is use clone zilla, then boot to a live CD and tar /etc /var and /home so I have multiple options [12:23] then let rip the manually edited sources.list and see what happenes [12:23] clonezilla is pretty straight forward [12:23] follow the prompts [12:23] :D [12:26] good day everybody ; how can be a mp3 be played for anotherone in chat in pidgin app ? [12:26] the "not easy" was unzipping the clone zilla backups. If I recall, the last time I wanted access, I used VirtualBox. Just uncloned to a hard drive in virtual box,. Workled a treat [12:27] mmm sounds like a pain, better to backup /etc and /var just in case [12:27] Lockzi: my mysql says that global priveleges are granted by the statement grant all on *.* [12:27] wouldnt it be better to do a fresh install instead of changing sources? [12:28] Irishmanluke: I seem to have fixed it by creating a new user. Really odd but thanks :) [12:28] Fresh install means you can go straight to Jaunty [12:28] in yahoo messenger with voice conference this work was possible .. [12:28] Id like to know if you could do it manually editing sources. [12:28] now in pidgin [12:28] a mp3 that is playing in debian how can be played for friend in chat ? [12:28] if you dont have strick download quotas, its less configuration [12:29] Generally, installing fresh gives better results [12:29] Lockzi: ok congradulations === Arvan is now known as Tao_J [12:31] From what I have read and done, a System Upgrade is done in stages, 1,2,3, not 1,3 , that would be Fiesty,Gutsy,Hardy,Jaunty. I agree a fresh install is usually better than a mas package upgrade. [12:31] deedub1, no download quotas here. Fresh should give better results and i understand that, makes a nice clean install.. will first try to do it via sources and if that fails do a fresh install [12:31] but first backup [12:32] But system upgrade from 7.04 to 8.04 will more than likely work as hardy is lts [12:32] !backup [12:32] There are many ways to back your system up.

[12:48] deedub1, i've had this happening on my desktop with 7.10 and 8.04. it disappeared in 8.10 and reappeared in 9.04... [12:48] why use gnome when xubuntu is so much better at memory management? [12:48] I have an external USB HDD and a friend wants to borrow it to copy some stuff off of it ... I would like to make it so that he can only access the one folder and not the others .... is there a way to do that?

[12:50] vigo: He's probably lying about having gotten your password then, but just in case, open a console and type passwd [12:50] zetheroo1: I am unaware of any tools for windows to let it read ext4 at this time. [12:50] !ifs [12:50] Sorry, I don't know anything about ifs [12:50] Dr_Willis: oh sorry ... the USB HDD is NTFS [12:50] zetheroo1: theres no way to protect a ntfs filesystem like that - that i know of. [12:50] zetheroo1: It's no problem, Linux hasr full r/w access to NTFS [12:51] Draglor: I have heard of it ... but thought it was more for encrypting volumes ... can it lock a folder? [12:51] just encrypt anything you don't want him to see [12:51] encrypt all the files.. :) fun. [12:51] you can set up an encrypted file, yes [12:51] and hope they dont get messed up. :) [12:51] argh [12:51] Never had problems Dr_Willis [12:51] I was hoping there was a way to restrict access to a folder [12:52] Draglor: on NTFS? [12:52] Not really, as he's root/admin on his box, zetheroo1 [12:52] id hate to enctypte 100GB of files just to keeop them 'safe' [12:52] Neither NTFS nor any other filesystem I use truecrypt on.

[12:57] lsmod lists modules [12:58] Draglor: then [12:59] apparle: he probably just needs to rebuild the display driver to match the kernel he constructed. [12:59] probably has proprietry drivers, so now he needs them reinstalled [13:00] sipior: how to do that......any tutorial of link [13:00] could copt xorg.conf xorg,conf.old then delete xorg.conf and X will probably start on the open source drivers [13:00] then go to hardware drivers and reinstall [13:01] hey, how to make my soundcard go output 5.1 [13:01] copt = copy [13:01] ick typing sux [13:02] :) [13:02] m3m google pulse audio 5.1 [13:02] thx [13:02] apparle: find the vendor for his video card. grab code and compile according to the instructions given.

I have been about to write something similiar to deedub1, but he was faster [13:05] m3m yep, you can [13:05] Draglor: Well I'm searching the git.alsa-project.org for alsa version, and to find the codec my audio card uses. But because alsa doesnt pickup my audio card i do not know the codec, so i was wondering if vista uses the same name reference. [13:05] Dangit, someone jinxed me, I rebooted now ALSA won't work.

[13:43] dos|equis: its the location of all the libs that all your apps use [13:43] is for left the pc alone, with some "from zero" user [13:43] dos|equis: any reason it shouldent have a lot of files? does it matter? [13:44] dos|equis: they can be used by more than one app which uses ram and hdd space better [13:44] Can I eliminate some useless files in my /usr/lib directory? [13:44] turin 13 please [13:44] dos|equis: why are you worried about it?

[14:25] brotkasten: try pam_tally [14:25] punk_rocker_gul: sudo hostname === daBomb|Not-Here is now known as Chazz [14:25] punk_rocker_gul: sudo echo newhostname > /etc/hostname [14:26] punk_rocker_gul, are you talking about your user name? [14:26] like... when you log in? [14:26] excellent, support chanel [14:26] !hi | dustin [14:26] dustin: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [14:26] sipior: as far as i know pam_tally just counts the failed logins and introduces account lockouts ... but not the login retries befor you get an error message like "access denied" [14:26] arand video is playing but when i close the browser and reopen it doesn't play [14:26] thanks [14:27] yeah .. the username of my laptop for ubuntu [14:27] or in the terminal, Karthinya@some-host-here:~$ [14:27] brotkasten: why is an account lockout not sufficient? [14:27] ubuntistas: yea, because you'll have to run with the --enable-plugins option every time. [14:27] seems better than the other ircs I've tried lately :) everyone gets aggravated when I ask a question [14:27] aha ok [14:27] Boohbah, got any insight on this? [14:27] in appereance -> visual effects, whats the difference between none and normal? [14:27] change the home directory? [14:28] brotkasten: actually, have you verified that the "deny" keyword to pam_tally.so is not what you want? [14:28] I'm going to suggest creating a new user [14:28] Nitrodist, i want to change it to my nickname [14:28] sipior: sipior wait a tic... checking [14:28] alright, I wiped windows, installed fedora and opensuse, and grub isn't showing it on the bootlist. I'm not altogether comfortable working from a terminal, so I was wondering about swapping to lilo [14:28] just to log in punk_rocker_gul ? === Ubuntu is now known as mc-kay [14:28] need ty [14:28] no.. i m talking about ubuntu.. username.. [14:29] i need to fix that [14:29] would swapping to lilo be... simple? [14:29] hi everyone, linux-noob here with some trouble getting the network to work the way i want it [14:29] sipior: no ... deny is the number of login attempts before the user is locked out [14:29] brotkasten: that isn't what you want? [14:30] system: easypeasy (essentially on ubuntu intrepid) [14:30] no.. not for loggin in punkrockergul [14:30] *based on [14:30] Does anyone know how to setup gnome-ppp? [14:30] my ubuntu username is karthiya i want it as punkrockergul === Chazz is now known as daBomb|Not-Here [14:30] can anyone tell me if swapping to lilo would be particularly difficult? [14:30] im using internet with 'wvdial' command and i cant find to see my traffic statistics [downloaded/uploaded atm] where i can find it? [14:30] !lilo [14:30] lilo is an alternative [Li]nux Boot[Lo]ader. Note: it is recommended that you use GRUB on Ubuntu instead. [14:30] anyway: i have internet access through pppoe, a local LAN and a public WLAN, all at the same time [14:30] not much info there heh' [14:30] sipior: no. if you login to the system and you type your password 3 times ... it says "login failed" but you may try again by typing your username again and restarting the whole auth process [14:30] punk_rocker_gul, log in where? on the ubuntu forums? [14:30] dustin: better to get grub working. lilo can be annoying at times. [14:30] dustin: not hard at all [14:31] what do you mean by annoying at times? [14:31] sipior: i want to restart the whole auth process after say the 2nd invalid password input [14:31] but neither network-manager nor wicd allow me to be on all 3 at once - wicd allows just one connection at the time, and network manager allows wifi and pppoe or lan, but not all 3 [14:31] punk_rocker_gul: If in your machine, edit the passwd file and then [14:31] Nitrodist, when the laptop starts.. it asks for username and password i want to change tht username to punkrockergul [14:31] that's what I thought === naruto is now known as Guest75573 === Julia is now known as Guest79128 [14:31] Can I run aptitude and select which files I want to update? Or am I better to just run a script? [14:31] i have tried a ton of stuff but nothing worked. i had xandros installed before, there it worked [14:32] if I swap to lilo, how would it affect me? I'm running 8.04 btw [14:32] (afaik xandros uses its own proprietary network manager) [14:32] the long and short of it is... create a new user, punk_rocker_gul, because migrating everything and the setting the correct permissions for all of your stuff is a headache [14:32] im using internet with 'wvdial' command to connect, and i cant find to wh see my traffic statistics [downloaded/uploaded atm] where i can find it? [14:32] anyone? [14:32] and all of that has to be done from the recovery console === Nightlurs is now known as Nightlurker [14:32] so it would be a lot of command line stuff [14:33] and THEN... some programs may not work correctly [14:33] How would swapping to lilo affect me?!?! [14:33] I'm not the type to follow blindly [14:33] it's a crap shoot at best [14:33] ? [14:33] dustin, what's lilo [14:33] Nitrodist: adduser, tar xvzf, chown [14:33] bootloader [14:33] punk_rocker_gul: sudo sed 's/Karthiya/punk_rocker_gul/g' !lilo | Nitrodist [14:33] Nitrodist: lilo is an alternative [Li]nux Boot[Lo]ader. Note: it is recommended that you use GRUB on Ubuntu instead. [14:33] Nitrodist: I would be more concerned about sudo; she'd have to make sure new user is in the admin group [14:33] Nitrodist: lilo is a Linux bootloader. Used to be popular, now everyone uses grub. [14:33] dustin: you will get a complete different bootmanager, why do you want lilo? [14:34] brotkasten: well, if you can't find it, time to write your own module. is it really worth the trouble? [14:34] dustin: boot off a cd single user mode, chroot, and have fun [14:34] what now? [14:35] dustin: you should answer the question: why do you want lilo in the first place? [14:35] slt [14:35] what's wrong with grub? [14:35] alright, I'm hoping it will detect opensuse and fedora and allow me to boot into those Oses [14:35] sipior: my boss thinks so :D [14:35] dustin: configuring lilo is even more tricky than grubs config. imho one needs a good reason to use lilo today [14:35] grub will not, grub won't even drop windows xp which I wiped [14:36] dustin: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst, add those entries, be happy [14:36] the only reason to use lilo is if you insist on silly hires bootmenus :) [14:36] use a grub editor ;P [14:36] dustin: did you edit the grub config file to fit your needs? [14:36] entries don't magically disappear from lists [14:36] yes, HOW do I edit /boot/grub/menu.lst?! [14:36] Topy44: /boot on xfs? [14:36] dustin, install 'kgrub' [14:36] Boohbah, sed does not do an inplace edit by default - so that command is unlikely to have caused any changes to /etc/{passwd,group} [14:36] dustin: sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst [14:36] kgrub? [14:36] sorry [14:36] kgrubeditor [14:36] dustin: vi /boot/grub/menu.lst perhaps? [14:36] I've tried it [14:36] and? [14:36] I can't make heads or tails [14:37] ok [14:37] unop and Boohbah: try to use -i option on sed command [14:37] I don't know how to add fedora and opensuse, not 100% sure what the linux names for my hard drives are and don't want to screw up my comp [14:37] Nitrodist, i wasnt able to remove knetattach [14:37] kgrubeditor, one second [14:37] can u give me the command [14:37] fcarramate, that still wouldn't work here due to the redirection [14:37] dustin: when installing fedora/suse, have they wirtten their grub into partition?

[14:39] yeah [14:39] *** i've an issue, i try to look TV with my TV card, but i can't. [14:39] I wanted to have a dual screen, with extended display (going with the mouse to other screen by going on the right). [14:39] not sure if suse exists anymore though [14:39] dustin: OpenSuSE.

I need to set up an "ftp drop box" where users will be able to upload files but not get a listing and not download. My current idea is to install proftpd and create an ftp-dropbox user. I would then have directories in ftp-dropbox's home directory or additional users. Each additional user would only have write access to /home/ftp-dropbox/. Does that sound like a good idea?

It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [15:05] ziroday: ive resampled about 300 of my mp3s already at 4800hz, side by side i cant tell the diff between them quality wise [15:05] I've cut and pasted the code from a website and then cut out the chunks I don't want. [15:05] Hm. Kay, I've pretty much decided. I'll just run ubuntu from now on. Might be a newbish question, but I do want to make sure: Installing ubuntu will wipe out everything, so I don't have to uninstall any programs now, right? [15:05] punk_rocker_gul: would depend on your needs.. I suggest learning to use ssh, and forgetting about ftp [15:05] punk_rocker_gul: best is an opinion and is therefore not concrete [15:05] Steevo: using what os/editor? [15:06] please my friends [15:06] punk_rocker_gul: and do you mean ftp client or server? [15:06] why is clonezilla not working for me? its not booting? tried newer and older versions [15:06] ziroday: in fact the ogg's sound a bit better on the highs [15:06] apparle: i had install libxft2. But my error not resolved [15:06] MaGicMaX: more then likely, most (if not all) people can tell the difference [15:06] need help [15:06] punk_rocker_gul: ftp is only a protocol, you havent clarified server or client [15:06] MaGicMaX: but some people like to get wound up on that sort of thing :) [15:06] apparle: need help in http://pastebin.com/m7c79d892 [15:06] Leenux: what's the error [15:06] !question | ubuntu [15:06] ubuntu: 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. :-) [15:06] chriss5: thats right, it will format during install (choose use entire disk) [15:06] !ftp > punk_rocker_gul [15:06] punk_rocker_gul, please see my private message [15:07] ActionParsnip, i want ftp client [15:07] punk_rocker_gul: see ubottu's output [15:07] i saw [15:07] MaGicMaX and everyone else who answered: Right. Thanks! I'm off then. [15:07] punk_rocker_gul, filezilla [15:07] punk_rocker_gul: You can use the builtin FTP support of GNOME -- Places -> Connect To Server... [15:07] hello [15:07] punk_rocker_gul: lftp [15:07] Leenux: we don't support eyeOS here. [15:07] punk_rocker_gul, filezilla, you can install it from firefox [15:08] punk_rocker_gul: i'd omit "best" from your questions. best doesnt exist outsaide of an evaluation of something to your own needs. There is no universal best anything. [15:08] ziroday: i know nothing about audio quality settings, i just go by ear, and so far ive been impressed at how low the settings can be on ogg but still sound just as good [15:08] Windows notepad to make the changes, then dumped it via a terminal. [15:08] Nitrodist, thanks.. u rock my world! [15:08] :D [15:08] MaGicMaX: mmhm [15:08] punk_rocker_gul: there are any many ftp clients, try a few, see which you like [15:08] these bots r making me sick [15:08] how do i split a 2.52 gig txt file? [15:08] Steevo: if you used windows notepad.. then you MOST likely got extra chacaters on the end of each line [15:08] hey guys, does anyone know how to manually change the native resolution over HDMI? [15:08] MaGicMaX: format conversions are awfully lossy. If you start from mp3 and go to vorbis, you lose the stuff mp3 forgets and also the stuff vorbis forgets, getting worst of both worlds [15:08] STELIOS: use split [15:08] Steevo: thats EXACTLY how i messed up a script once. [15:08] ziroday: this error not in scripts, but my ubuntu not undefined symbol: FT_Library_SetLcdFilter when try OO 2.4 [15:08] punk_rocker_gul: if you improve your questions you will get less from the bots [15:08] gcl_: you can use xrandr and set a modeline, I don't know the exact syntax however [15:09] ActionParsnip, ok :P i get it [15:09] what would trhe command be? [15:09] Leenux: you are using eyeOS, not ubuntu. We don't support eyeOS here. [15:09] thanks [15:09] punk_rocker_gul: good [15:09] there are no clever algorithms that can repair the detail once it's lost. [15:09] STELIOS: read "man split" and chose your options [15:09] the options were confusing [15:09] alankila: ive been told this, but its the only way to get mp3s off my system at the moment, and by ear i can tell its lost a whole lot, in fact, i heard some distortions in the original mp3 that disapeared in the ogg, not sure how [15:09] !info tofrodos [15:09] tofrodos (source: tofrodos): Converts DOS <-> Unix text files, alias tofromdos. In component main, is optional. Version 1.7.8.debian.1-1 (jaunty), package size 19 kB, installed size 80 kB [15:10] lines or size etc [15:10] cant tell* [15:10] Steevo: you may wan tto isntalll the 'tofrodos' package and try the 'dos2unix' command on the script to see if it can convert./remove the charqcters properly. [15:10] Nitrodist, should i download filezilla from firefox? [15:10] punk_rocker_gul: no. [15:10] MaGicMaX: well, what you describe ought to be impossible for sure. [15:10] why no ziroday [15:11] it's the easiest and simplest way [15:11] punk_rocker_gul, get it from the repos [15:11] Nitrodist: besides repos? [15:11] ok b3rz3rk3r and Ziroday [15:11] Nitrodist: you should install filezilla from the repo's, like every other piece of software [15:11] thanks [15:11] MaGicMaX: probably because the distortions you noticed earlier have been swamped by the overall loss in fidelity. [15:11] contrary to what linux users are used to, installation through firefox or through an installer file is miles easier than even knowing what a repo is and how to use it ;P [15:12] anyway, resampling is usually done by some component of the system. I recommend not changing the sample rate of the source audio stream, it's best to leave resampling to happen during playback if at all. Resampling only loses detail as well, because it's a nontrivial process with tradeoffs to make. [15:12] alankila: im not sure if it was distortion, but it was a fussy sound in the deep bass parts of the song, it would crackle in the mp3, the ogg's bass didnt crackle at all [15:12] Nitrodist: untill it breaks stuff.... [15:12] ubun00b: what does OSS detect your sound card as [15:13] Nitrodist: you might want to do your homework on why repo's exist [15:13] Dr_Willis: The Ubuntu packaged version of Firefox 3.5 breaks when you full-screen flash, the downloadable version from Mozilla doesn't :> Depends on your perspective what breaks [15:13] MaGicMaX: *shrug*. my major complaints against mp3 are the usually severely lost treble, and vorbis can "warble" for some audio streams which just interact badly with the encoder. I'm not sure if the bug is fixed, but I have some piano music that sounds like a bird is chirping in the background, all constructed by the vorbis encoder. [15:13] orochi: i dont even see much need for me to use 3.5.x yet. [15:13] yeah, I can see why installing it onto firefox as an extension is WAY harder than installing it to the core of the system [15:13] Nitrodist, the whole idea behind the repos is to make packages easy to find and get [15:13] orochi: i am testing out google chrome. :P [15:14] Dr_Willis: There probably isn't a reason to if you're happy with Chrome or 3.0...the point is more along the lines that just because it came from a repository doesn't mean it'll never break :> [15:14] apparle: High definition Audio 0x111d76b is what it says. [15:14] * Dr_Willis condiders flash 'broken' by definition.. :) [15:14] ubun00b: ok and what is the codec in vista [15:14] alankila: i know exactly what you mean by the chirping, i have some classical piono songs too, in mp3 even at 192bps it was doing it, i dont thin i did compare the ogg leme go listen heh [15:15] can any one tell me the command for splitting a 2.52gig txt file please [15:15] orochi: what works for you doesn't work for everybody. If everyone was to attempt to manually install flash a) the install process would be a lot more convulated and b) much more likely to break [15:15] apparle: one min I will have to reboot to find out. [15:15] a 2.52 gb ascii text file? gee.. i wonder what sort of compression ya would get on that with an archiver.. [15:15] ziroday: I don't manually install flash, I manually install packages that aren't working properly on the other hand [15:15] no a normal text file [15:15] STELIOS: try "split" [15:16] STELIOS: [15:16] STELIOS: define 'normal' ? [15:16] hi [15:16] yeah i have tried but i keep getting it wrong [15:16] ascii would be a normal text file to me.. [15:16] orochi: look I really don't want to get into this argument, and not specifically here either. It's much better suited for #ubuntu-offtopic [15:16] hi [15:16] i want to split in half === John is now known as Guest42549 [15:16] which is better?ubuntu or redhat? [15:16] anyone here know the command on how to rename a folder from a command line [15:16] ziroday: As an aside, if everyone were to manually attempt to install flash then there would be a standardized method and instructions on it on the Ubuntu site very likely, so your point doesn't make sense anyway. But yes, feel free not to argue. :> [15:16] Guest42549: use what you like. [15:17] * sipior wonders if trolls really are vulnerable to fire [15:17] Guest42549: windows [15:17] STELIOS, you could just go in, copy half and paste into another file surely? :p or am i missing the point? [15:17] ubuntu :) [15:17] RoRza: Using 'mv' [15:17] lol [15:17] renaming a file [15:17] STELIOS: split -b 1.3G infile.txt outfile [15:17] RoRza: mv oldname newname [15:17] thx [15:17] RoRza: mv /path/to/old/file /path/to/newfilename [15:17] STELIOS, do you mean you want to compress it in a multi-part archive? [15:17] Guest42549, clearly... it's Minix [15:17] Nitrodist: CP/M [15:17] orochi: glad we've come to an understanding [15:17] monolithic kernels were always doomed from the start [15:17] nope [15:18] what do you do if you have a problem that nobody else had? [15:18] i will try what you said about c and p [15:18] Vinceman: You try to solve it. [15:18] Vinceman: start a thread on the forums. [15:18] ziroday: I didn't think you were going to continue this discussion, you're one of those last word types I suppose? Go ahead and have it if it makes you feel better. :P [15:18] Vinceman: you figure out how to duplicate your problem, and check if it happens on a fresh install [15:19] Vinceman: (and an explanation of your issue would be wonderful) [15:19] orochi: i see what you did there. [15:20] Vinceman, first post it on the forums [15:20] opening a file that large hangs my craptop out [15:20] and if they suggest to create a new bug ticket... then do that :P === BlackJack is now known as Dreaman [15:21] STELIOS: what sort of errors are you seeing? [15:21] not errors [15:22] some text editors could handle a 2+gb text file.. I just wonder what sort of data/process MAKES a 2+GB text file... [15:22] Human genome sequence in ascii? :) [15:22] STELIOS: are you opening it in a graphical editor (like gedit) or in a cli one (like vim/nano) cos a graphical one might have file size restrictions [15:22] alankila: ok i just did a comparison of one of my mp3 piano songs that chirped alot in the highs, i did a 160bitrate, i converted to 128 ogg (no resample) and the chirping is gone... [15:22] Dr_Willis: cat /dev/urandom file ? :O) [15:22] What's wrong with this command? for i in `/bin/grep -rin "'/'.\$html->webroot" * | cut -d':' -f 1 | uniq`; do sed -e "s@'/'.@@g' $i; done [15:22] Dr_Willis: An obscure example but temperature monitors for the marine labs i've worked in have to spit out abot that amount a week [15:22] Dr_Willis, windows anti-virus scan log? [15:22] alankila: i would love to send you both the songs and you could listen for yourself heh [15:23] b3rz3rk3r: Only if it logs clean files too. [15:23] i just want to split in half [15:23] orochi: pastebinit! :) [15:23] (I'm trying to get rid of all "'/'." in front of "$html->webroot" [15:23] ryanakca: #bash might be more fruitful [15:23] STELIOS: then how do you know the machine is hanging? we're trying to understand the problem you are having [15:23] ziroday: I don't use #bash ;) [15:23] hey grawity, didnt see ya there :) [15:23] s/#bash/bash/ [15:24] STELIOS: dd might help in splitting the file. [15:24] STELIOS: Or wc/head/tail, if it's made of many lines (not just any bytes) [15:24] STELIOS: also, tail will give you the end of the file (you can make it as long as you like) [15:25] alankila: near the end of the song theres some REALLY bad parts on the original that come through on the ogg but are not nearly as spine tingling [15:26] alankila: like i said im no expert, i go by ear, but i know my ear doesnt lie... and i think i have a pretty good one [15:26] MaGicMaX: as much as I'd like ogg to be the reason, there are many posibilities for why you're getting the results you speak of [15:26] how do I make a given, already installed program, look for shared libraries in a given directory? [15:26] MaGicMaX: like the reverse of compression noise [15:27] boss_mc: yes i realise it could just be some bad codecs but.. [15:27] marcelo_, what program? [15:27] MaGicMaX: or ogg is clipping the sound/128bit ogg does not allow for really high notes [15:27] b3rz3rk3r, The root-system [15:28] my / folder has become full and I can't even start up disk janitor. can anyone give any thoughts of how i can free enough space to run disk janitor? i have already run sudo aptitude clean and aptitude auto-clean. [15:28] b3rz3rk3r, Should I edit LD_LIBRARY_PATH by hand or should I use a command to change it? [15:28] boss_mc: ive noticed the ogg is actually better at the highs than the lows, the bass was lacking in a couple of my comparisons, but not by much, and thats cause the mp3 was over 300bitrate [15:28] two files [15:28] i keep messing up and getting loads of files [15:29] marcelo_, im not following? what program are you trying to edit? [15:29] boss_mc: and as a result the mp3 was more than 4 times the size :P [15:29] i must of dropped out? [15:29] Hello, I am trying to create a bootable ubuntu USB drive using the USB startup disk creator. When i start it up it finds my USB drive but tells me it needs formatting, so i click format but after i lick the drive disappears from the list [15:29] mazda01: remove some programs that you know about (and replace them after) I had to remove openoffice to upgrade my eee to 8.10 [15:29] Anybody know why? [15:30] sipior? [15:30] STELIOS: yes? [15:30] you still here bud? [15:30] wicked [15:30] boss_mc, i just did sudo aptitude remove --purge gnome-partition-editor and now it want's to remove tons of packages. here are some of them: dvd-slideshow{pu} evince-dbg{pu} evolution-data-server-dbg{pu} evolution-dbg{pu} [15:30] b3rz3rk3r, the root program from root-system package, I just want to make it look for shared libraries in a given location... [15:31] i don't get errors [15:31] boss_mc, what does the {pu} mean? [15:31] STELIOS: great, so it works! [15:31] I just mess up the command switches and end up with loads of files === bfox_ is now known as bfox [15:31] I wish lol [15:31] mazda01: {pu} means Purge because it is Unused [15:31] STELIOS: well, what command are you issuing? [15:31] boss_mc, it wants to get rid of these and many many more also. libgsf-gnome-1-114-dbg{pu} libgstreamer0.10-0-dbg{pu} libgtk2.0-0-dbg{pu} [15:31] split [15:32] STELIOS: the precise options, please [15:32] marcelo_, other than the default? id guess that you just edit the location that it searches in the config file? but i havent done that myself so id check with tothers first if i were you [15:32] one sec [15:32] boss_mc, oh, sweet! that'll free around 256MB. that should be enough. i already remove old linux-images that im not booting also. [15:32] mazda01: those are all debugging libraries, if you don't develop code than you don't need them anyway :) [15:32] what file do i change enviroment variables? [15:32] boss_mc, i figured that out about the -dbg packages. thanks for the help [15:32] how to optimize this script cd foo; bar; bar; bar; i need something like cd foo; for(int i=0, i<3;i++){bar} [15:32] mazda01: sweet [15:33] $ split –bytes=1m /path/to/large/file [15:33] apparle: IDT High Definition Audio Codec [15:33] STELIOS: but you don't want to split it into 1-megabyte pieces, do you? [15:33] no [15:34] boss_mc, it can't even write the state file so I can't even use the terminal to remove packages. i'll have to boot into recovery mode I guess, right? [15:34] just change the 1 opyion? [15:34] option* [15:34] STELIOS: yes, make it half of the original file size [15:34] half of 2.52 gig would be? [15:34] STELIOS: 1.26 [15:35] 1.25 [15:35] simple math [15:35] thanks mate was never good at maths [15:35] STELIOS: i vote that arithmetic doesn't count as "maths" :-) [15:35] yes and I am a simpleton [15:35] hey is there a way to configure sshd's login fail delay (delay between 2 login attempts) [15:35] lol [15:36] thanks for the help [15:36] hi [15:36] mazda01: that probably won't help [15:37] mazda01: no space = no space whether you are root or not :) === uuukev is now known as ukev [15:37] brotkasten: have a look in /etc/login.defs. that might help with your earlier question as well. [15:38] hi all. I want to blur human faces on some pictures, and I want to do it as fast as possible, just open picture, move the mouse a little, and overwrite the picture. any idea if such programs exist? [15:38] heyas [15:38] mazda01: try deleting/backing up some file? [15:39] prodigel: open them all in gimp! (might not be 'fast') [15:39] prodigel: through imagemagick or gimp? [15:39] i ve installed desktop 9.04 with "next to windows " option but linux doesnt show up in boot menu [15:39] anyone knows why I get Error 16:Inconsistent filesystem structure after a kernel update? This has happened two times now. The old kernel works fine. [15:39] alguien podria ayudarme? [15:39] !es [15:39] En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [15:40] gimp is not a good option because every time I save a file I have to configure extension and filename to replace the same file. I want only one click save [15:40] sebrock: you use raid? [15:40] prodigel: print them out in huge, paste them to your house, when google street view come past, they will blur the faces for you, then you can get them off maps.google.com :-) [15:40] brotkasten: actually, it looks as though FAIL_DELAY has been obsoleted, and moved into pam. although even *that* delay appears to be hard-coded now. [15:40] boss_mc, yeah, i don't know what could be taking up the space because i have home on it's own partition and i mount nfs and samba shares for /mnt and /media. so I don't know where to look for a file to delete [15:40] <_zoom> which is the lightest browser for ubuntu? [15:40] _zoom, lynx [15:41] <_zoom> which is the lightest browser for ubuntu [15:41] _zoom, lynx [15:41] brotkasten: ah, but i see there is a pam_delay.so [15:41] _zoom, file browser, web browser, desktop browser. what kind of browser are you talking about? [15:41] _zoom, but that's text based. I know you don't want that. Dillo is next. [15:41] tonii, no [15:42] _zoom, it's graphical, but doesn't have javascript etc. [15:42] hi [15:42] tonii, I think grub gets mixed up somehow [15:42] chao ca nha [15:42] haay [15:42] what is the best pugin for youtube? [15:42] sebrock: ah, looking into it now [15:42] hey, quick question, what's the difference between ending and killing a process? [15:43] damn my net is slow today [15:43] _zoom, opera is believe it or not, pretty small. epiphany is also pretty small [15:43] good day every body ,how can to play music for someone in chat in linux ?

[15:44] !best > Al1 [15:44] Al1, please see my private message [15:44] Al1, what do u mean [15:44] hey, How can a reconfigure the ldap password? [15:45] dpk-reconfigure libnss-ldap dos not do nothing [15:45] tonii: So ending is a "graceful kill"? [15:45] tonii, thanks but how? [15:45] <_zoom> mazda01 : will opera be available on repo. [15:45] !opera | _zoom [15:45] _zoom: opera is an advanced and free (only as in price) web browser. Install it via Applications->Add/Remove..., making sure that "Show commercial applications" (dapper only) is checked. For more info on opera please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OperaBrowser [15:45] _zoom, no, you download it from there website. [15:45] <_zoom> ok.. [15:46] _zoom, if you want to go really light you can use "netcat domain.com 80", then use "GET / HTTP/1.1" and press enter twice. That's about as light as you'll get. [15:46] net cut for linux [15:46] _zoom, it's a deb file, so you just double click it and it will install. there's also a way to do it from cli using dpkg but you'll have to read about dpkg using man dpkg [15:46] whats recommended here for backup, partimage or clonezilla? [15:46] <_zoom> my ram too low 512mb [15:46] indus: plugin fot could work for most of videos [15:46] hey guys i have a networking question..now lets say i have a 192.168.4.0 network in NY and a 192.168.5.0 network in CA, these networks are connected via VPN and can ping each other fine. Now my problem is we here in NY have a VPN to our dedicated servers now what we want to do is make the 192.168.5.0 comes through us to get to the servers so i thought i could add a route but it seems that it doesn't like when i add routes across different subnets? can [15:46] i do that with one card or would i need two nics on each subnet? [15:46] mtlife, i prefer Sbackup myself.. very simple, and hassle free [15:46] mtlife, i've used partimage. very good. I use simple backup now though. it backs up only what I want [15:46] i ve installed desktop 9.04 with "next to windows " option but linux doesnt show up in boot menu [15:47] why???? [15:47] _zoom, cause compared to lynx or dillo, or especially netcat, opera and ephiphany are HUGE [15:47] sbackup = simple backup? [15:47] mtlife, yes [15:47] Al1, use movie player to play the file,it will automatically download the codec/plugin [15:47] mtlife, different names for the same thing [15:47] hey? someone has been playing with ldap in ubuntu? I need some help [15:47] <_zoom> boxr: ok so domain.com whats dat [15:48] Al1, if u are having difficulty playing a certain file,try to install another movie player like vlc or mplayer [15:48] in jaunty, files aren't as the howtos say [15:48] b3rz3rk3r, not capable of complete drive clone is it? [15:48] hehe [15:48] sebrock: tried to google, but can't find any specific useful information. you could try and run fsck in the kernel that works [15:48] indus: could u please explain me how to manage that, cos i'm a bit retard in it. [15:48] good day every body ,how can to play music for someone in chat in linux ? [15:48] mtlife, no, its a basic backup solution as the name implies.. if you want drive cloning, id say go with clonezilla [15:48] _zoom, nevermind. Anyway, you are saying firefox is too heavy? [15:48] Al1,just double click the movie file you are trying to play [15:49] b3rz3rk3r, you prefer clonezilla over partimage? [15:49] Thanks for all the help people! Server is up and running, and I've gained enough knowledge to spend my weekend TAKING OVER THE WORLD! MUHAHAHA! [15:49] Al1, right now,are you having problems playing some file? double click that file [15:49] mtlife, i havent used partimage, so i cant say [15:49] <_zoom> boxr: low RAM but sometimes using facebook it hangs [15:49] Steevo: good to have goals [15:49] Iyunkateus: the terminology used depends on what way you terminate the app I suppose :) [15:49] _zoom, ah, there's your problem right there. Don't use facebook. [15:50] indus: hold on i turn some porn if it is workin :-D [15:50] b3rz3rk3r, ok thx [15:50] :) [15:50] !ohmy > Al1 [15:50] Al1, please see my private message [15:50] boss_mc, i just moved 3 files that were over 10MB but df -h still says I have 0% free. what else can I move? [15:50] Al1, please , no references to p**n,mention it as a fil;e [15:50] b3rz3rk3r, hai [15:50] alpha20, hi [15:50] <_zoom> boxr: lol [15:51] b3rz3rk3r, have you used pidgin latest [15:51] _zoom, ;) [15:51] <_zoom> boxr: litlle knowledge little solution [15:51] alpha20, no... why? [15:51] indus: sorry, just tryed to be funny [15:52] anyone know where the Gnome "Documents", "Music", etc bookmarks are stored? I've changed my home directory location and the bookmarks still appear to point to the old location [15:52] _zoom, but seriously, you can install opera but it's a bit of a hassle. If you are going to use firefox, make sure facebook is the only tab open. That'll help with memory [15:52] b3rz3rk3r, i heard it has voice chat [15:52] Al1, i know,but in future be careful ok [15:52] <_zoom> boxr: thnx [15:52] mbeierl: ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs <<<< maybe here [15:52] alpha20, orly? [15:52] _zoom, you should be able to browse facebook no problem with 512M as long as nothing else too big is running [15:53] <_zoom> boxr: with totem player [15:53] indus: Indulge me for a minute here, why is it against the rules to mention the word "porn?" What if you're trying to play a movie in Totem and it isn't working, are you going to get banned just for mentioning that it happens to be a porn movie? Seems a bit extreme. :> [15:53] b3rz3rk3r, just to know ,mine is not working [15:53] indus: ok sorry agian [15:53] _zoom, you'll get freezing when using it with totem player as the CPU switches context [15:53] orochi, ask the ops [15:53] orochi: that _is_ extreme [15:53] orochi: because it is. Ubuntu is a family friendly distro and we try to keep it's support family friendly also [15:53] erUSUL: that's a good start, but that file has "DOCUMENTS=$HOME", and my $HOME is properly set to the new location, so maybe not. [15:53] orochi: But the channel is best kept family-friendly. [15:54] omg my goat porn wont work.. halp! (kidding o.o) [15:54] orochi, its a reference to it i mean which is not acceptable here, so it can be mentioned [15:54] /bannned [15:54] orochi, save that kind of thing for #crunchbang ;-) [15:54] Problem, my other ubuntu 9.04 boxes after then update refuse to connect to the net, in ifconfig, it shows these are still being given the local ip, but that is it, no outside connect is possible [15:54] indus: sorry [15:54] The greatest distro in the history of ubuntu [15:54] i did a clean intstall of jaunty 64......i dont see the popup manage icon in the settings anymore....is it supposed to be there or is it a download [15:54] <_zoom> boxr : thnx for all dis [15:54] mbeierl: next go to gconf-editor and see if something appears under app>nautilus or similar [15:54] b3rz3rk3r, what kind of nick is this [15:54] it shows its connected, but all sites come up not found? [15:54] Al1, so did u double click the file? [15:54] _zoom, it's what I do [15:55] right now ssh is open to the world on my machine. i want to close ssh except for subnet 12 and several individual ip addresses. would i first sudo iptables -p tcp --dport 22 -j REJECT - then open up the subnet, then open up the individual ips, then iptables save? [15:55] <_zoom> boxr: why dis problem doesnt comes in windowa [15:55] alpha20, its alphanumeric, much like yours :p [15:55] indus:yes [15:55] Al1, and? [15:55] IdleOne: Would it be considered too "extreme" for offtopic as well? [15:55] pos69sum: sounds correct to me [15:55] i did a clean intstall of jaunty 64......i dont see the popup manage icon in the settings anymore....is it supposed to be there or is it a download [15:56] b3rz3rk3r, fine fine [15:56] indus: this time nothing, [15:56] !iptables > pos69sum (should help too) [15:56] pos69sum, please see my private message [15:56] _zoom, I couldn't say without looking at your system. Linux isn't going to be faster at all things than Windows. For a lot of multimedia/desktop stuff it's going to be slower and more of a hassle [15:56] orochi: we can help y ou play a movie [15:56] Al1, is it playing or giving some error messages about missing plugins? [15:56] pos69sum: no problem [15:56] orochi: we don't need to know what type of movie it is [15:56] I'll get flamed now ... [15:56] will karmic has the new pidgin 2.6.1 with voice/video enabled? [15:56] orochi: certain channels tollerate more then others. but the official policy for all ubuntu irc channels is no religion,politics or sex [15:56] Pindakaas: 9.1- discussion in #ubuntu+1 [15:56] Pindakaas: Karmic support and discussion in #ubuntu+1 [15:56] ikonia: That's not really my point, I'm wondering where it's possible to use language that is considered offensive in here [15:57] in another channel, that is [15:57] ah [15:57] erUSUL: nope... doing a recursive grep right now to see if I can find it anywhere under the .conf or .gnome, or... [15:57] orochi: it's not allowed to use language that is offensive [15:57] ...hi [15:57] orochi, I told you - #crunchbang [15:57] indus: it's just not plain or with another is goin too slow [15:57] orochi: Please keep #ubuntu to support only, if you have an issue with the rules you can take it up with the ops in #ubuntu-ops, other chat in #ubuntu-offtopic [15:57] boxr: Is that an Ubuntu channel? [15:57] now can we get back to support [15:57] good day every body ,how can to play music for someone in chat in linux ? [15:57] orochi: it's not [15:57] Pici: Sounds good to me. [15:57] Pindakaas, assuming they patch the security holes in time for release i dont see why not.. but nobody really know for sure [15:57] Al1, what do u mean its not plain? [15:57] <_zoom> boxr: except browser thing rest it can handle many process so better than windows xp ... i use only ubuntu [15:57] is there a way to have aptitude show me which packages take up a certain amount of space? [15:57] orochi, it's a distro derived from ubuntu.

Well you need the experimental ubuntu based version if you need to backup/restore ext4. also, you dont need to back them up 1 by 1..

[17:10] luis_ so did u see windows logo? [17:10] revygttam, how did you accidently delete /lib? [17:10] PoisonSerpent_, I am in the works of that now [17:10] Lol. You read my mind, I guess.

[17:16] edbian: The desktop I am trying to install it on does have some serious differences in hardware setup. Its an AMD64, monster machine. Can it be that because it a major hardware change, that its not working? [17:17] linuxson25: That's what I suspect. Can you get to tty1 ? [17:17] edbian: OH yeah, a virtual prompt [17:17] linuxson25: So it's working?

Will also try that [17:18] luis_ u know what /dev/sda5 is?

[17:19] linuxson25: When the system boots it probes all of the hardware and loads the appropriate modules right there. That's how linux works without drivers (it has a massive repo of them and picks the one's it needs when you boot). I suspect that you would have the same issue if you had just fresh installed ubuntu on this machine but I could be wrong. [17:19] i dont know [17:19] :S [17:19] ubuntu has no wifi search right? [17:19] hmm [17:20] edbian: There any way I can add you or email you the results?

I think you have a good shot at fixing the one that's on there. PM me and I will give you an email address [17:20] mmm my pc is a laptop, its how a recovery [17:20] edbian: You think the 64 arch has anything to do with this?

[17:31] edbian: from add/remove applications [17:31] ankush: What tabs do you have there? I think it's the last one. The desktop effects are installed by default in ubuntu [17:31] ankush, I see on the forums something about "sbackup." There isn't an backup system implemented, but sbackup seems to be the way to go according to them. apt-get install sbackup to install, apt-cache search sbackup for info on it [17:32] steve_3199: what do you mean restart sound === anonymous_ is now known as Achmed [17:32] ankush: I'm sure there is a tab in there for it.

The thing is though that ive already added a ton of machines onto that server and i dont want to add them again, any way to do this? [17:33] are they stored in a file? [17:33] campster: you could download the cd image from ubuntu.com [17:33] well, im not good with identifying sound problems, but there are lots of delays in the sound, and its usualy fixed by a reboot, but i dont want to reboot [17:33] UltraNav: The "free" command shows swap usage "free -m" [17:33] that func doesnt give me features of beryl.. [17:33] Achmed: i don't have enough bandwith :/ [17:33] campster: at the location your at, or at home? [17:33] ankush: What specifically were you looking for?

[17:34] campster: There are utilities to make an ISO from your ubuntu install but it is difficult because a typical person's install does not fit on 1 CD [17:34] campster, debian had an application to build iso from repositories afair [17:35] hi guys, i need some serious help overhere: i was backupping my friend's external corrupted ntfs hd on one of my ntfs hd's using ddrescue and ive probably done something wrong and it was unaccessible afterall. after performing a check with gparted, it suggested to run a chkdsk on windows, since the fs is ntfs, this done i can access it but poof! all my data's not there anymore, but there is instead my friend's. now if i check the used and free [17:35] space it says 1tb is the whole hd, of which 700gbs is used, but by selecting all the files it appears to be only 400gb all together. so apparently there's 300gb which it doesnt see! my data! how do i make it reappear? please tell me there's a way, it was 2 yrs of music and pics, i cant lose it. (same free and used situation on windows and linux) [17:35] hi all. i need help with wifi on asus eee 1000ha on ubuntu 9.04. after last updates it suddenly stopped working.. systems sees no interface. modprobe ath5k does not help.. may some please help me?

[17:38] where is gnutls/openssl.h located [17:38] how do i find gnutls/openssl.h [17:38] no thats why i thought it was kinda weird [17:38] edbian: i went offline, can u help me gettng those wonderful graphics [17:39] cheasully: /usr/src is used for source code that the user has hand-compilied. IF you have already gotten a binary from that source code it is safe to delete [17:39] DaZ: But their is a way .. do you think I can find out more on the forum perhaps ? [17:39] thats what i thought thanks edbian [17:39] ankush: Yeah. Compiz can do everything beryl can do + more. If you'd like to configure it install "simple-ccsm" [17:39] campster, you should have cached packages [17:39] i guess i'm the only person with this issue? [17:39] ankush: The cube, the wall, fire all of it is in compiz [17:40] I have no idea what that is [17:40] cheasully: NP [17:40] edbian: NP?

I saw a couple 3d shooters. "best 3d shooters for linux" is a start [18:20] hello. my system -> admin -> drivers says I don't have any proprietary driver running, but I remember installing fglrx. Could this be mistaken? Will I damage anything if i do sudo apt-get instal fglrx? [18:21] When its finished, and I enter my username and password, I can see the mouse cursor, and just a white screen [18:21] please help [18:21] Berzerker: the app is searching for python2.4-dbus, and the ubuntu repositories only have python2.6-dbus, and that one works perfectly well with the app [18:21] tdn: I believe so but it can also be set to run a script at boot. like I said I don't know how to use it but reading up might get you more info [18:21] is there any software for playing wmv files in ubuntu [18:21] abranches_, and others might not, so why not update? there's nothing that it can hurt.

[18:22] abranches_: and the easiest way to do that IMHO is to install wajig, a python front end for apt and do a wajig hold [18:22] GPL: right click an html file and go to properties -> open with and set the default application [18:22] abranches_, pretty sure it should say >= 2.4 [18:22] bucky: whats hard about aptitude hold ? [18:22] abranches_, so 2.6 would work [18:22] groza, I've been playing Battle for Wesnoth [18:23] arun_sukesan: please talk in here so others can benefit [18:23] maco, that way, i 'd have to create a html file , isnt there some sort of preferences in Control Centre ?

[18:24] Any help? [18:24] hrm, I have a fresh install of 9.04 desktop 64 bit on an hp dv2000 laptop. There is about a 10 second delay after the login display pops up before I can use the keyboard. Mouse works fine the whole time. Any ideas? [18:24] would someone mind looking at my sudo lshw -C network and help me interpret it? [18:24] cremaster, it's just that I heard ther's a problem with 64bit wep for newer versions [18:24] Would like to get my desktop up and working [18:25] xepra, wait the 10 seconds?

[18:25] ok IdleOne [18:26] Berzerker, its annoying as hell, and shouldn't be happening [18:26] xepra, if the keyboard and computer overall actually work, then I wouldn't see any problem with it. [18:26] xepra, it's probably just your USB powering up your keyboard [18:26] So no, its not like its mission critical or anything, it just seems like it should be easy to fix [18:26] xepra: You a perfectionist like me, and it would bug the hell out of me too... :) [18:26] i just wanted to know how can i play wmv files in ubuntu [18:26] hi guys, i just installed ubuntu, removed movie player (totem) and installed Mplayer....am i still required to instal w32codecs to obtain full compatibility ??

Wow, thanx...that kinda makes sense. But doesnt Ubuntu detect hardware before it boots up, including which video drivers to use? [18:34] ubuntu-xtra-codecs? its ubuntu-restricted-extras [18:35] linuxson25, try running sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [18:35] deany: yes that, sorry my ubuntu is in another language [18:35] th0r: I mean, when I typed in dmesg, it gave me all the up to date details of my AMD64 machine [18:35] xepra: thanx, will try that [18:36] hi i have a dns problem i can ping the ip's but not the domain names [18:36] simran: you can install all at once writting "sudo aptitude install ubuntu-restricted-extras" [18:36] where do I get fglrx?? I've enabled the multiverse repositories [18:36] jado, dns servers are in /etc/resolv.conf [18:37] xepra: will get back to you with results just now. Thanx for the hint [18:37] ah i just hit superkey+r and its zoomed in [18:37] how do i zoom out [18:37] lol [18:37] jado, just put "nameserver 192.9.9.3" in that file [18:37] roght opinion needed. I ma using pulseaudio on 9.04 a PPA version and my app a speech engine is putting puulseaudio under a littl more stress than it is used to and it is cauing a CPI overload as it calls it, is that a feature or a bug? [18:37] simran, super + x i think [18:37] linuxson25, no problem -- hope it works [18:37] simran : click on desktop and press SuperKey + R again. [18:37] simran: Hi Simran [18:37] xepra: Thanx :) [18:37] ahh [18:37] thx [18:37] simran: Bye Simran [18:37] How do I make an internet sharey thing, wifi->ethernet?

[18:39] hello all [18:39] pdf2txt is an option [18:39] terrestre:yes [18:39] MaNU_, ctrl-a, crl-c, ctrl-v [18:40] heh [18:40] can any one tell what is the difference between aptitude and apt-get?? [18:40] xepra: actually i was not precise. the dns problem happens a while after my connection is working and then i have to reboot my router to make it work again. I have this problem on all my computers, linux/windows [18:40] open pdf in open office and save as doc? [18:40] apt-get is short for aptitude [18:40] ubuntu comes with compiz...whats the difference between tht and compiz fusion? [18:40] thats all [18:40] to convert pdf to word [18:40] jado, does the routher point the dns at itself? [18:40] is there any solution [18:40] thanks grawity [18:40] I'm trying to use imagewriter to install on acer (no cd) in imagewriter should it be fat16 or fat32 for the usb drive????? [18:40] MaNU_: by a third party app for your windows machine like pdf2doc [18:41] simran : pressing Escape helps too. also try out SuperKey+E [18:41] yep i tried tht one GPL :) [18:41] !aptitude [18:41] aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. Like other APT front-ends, it can install/remove packages and their dependencies (on Dapper and earlier, however, only aptitude keeps track of unused dependencies). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptitudeSurvivalGuide [18:41] thanks for letting me know though [18:41] yeah like pdftodoc [18:41] so... flash isn't performing well and I have the adobe player [18:41] is there anything like dat [18:41] simran: no problem. [18:41] heatmzzr, I'm not familiar with imagwriter, but it shouldn't matter. I would go with fat32 [18:41] gpl what is compiz fusion like [18:41] any better? [18:41] !apt-get [18:41] 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) [18:42] simran: desktop effects :) [18:42] xepra: what does that mean? the router is supposed to resolve the domain names as usual [18:42] xepra: but sometimes it just stops doing that [18:42] is it a complete new program or a plugin [18:42] MaNU_: http://www.verypdf.com/pdf2word/pdf2doc.html [18:42] I just installed Ubuntu 9.04 on a computer and set up a dual boot with Windows XP. Now the windows install freezes when I try to start it up. I can still boot into safe mode though. [18:42] the compiz-fusion [18:42] how would i go about installing it [18:42] sudo apt-cache search compiz [18:43] find the fusion one [18:43] Why would windows freeze on startup after a linux install? [18:43] Anyone have a command line script to batch convert mp3 files to wav? [18:43] mikey: you can do a scancheck i dont remember the name [18:43] jado, routers don't resolve domain names, servers do, however through dhcp the router tells the computers connected to it which dns servers to use. some home routers nowadays point dns queries to itself, and it forwards them on appropriately [18:43] simran : i would try using Synaptics package manager [18:43] bucky: [18:43] bucky:i was luking for free version [18:43] terrestre: Is that in windows or in linux? [18:43] how does one remove a package that already has all the files removed? [18:43] jado, i was asking because if the router is pointing the dns at itself, then it could just be a buggy router, especially if all the computers fail at once [18:44] mikey: windows [18:44] bucky: which must be open source [18:44] any opinion on my pulseaudio issue E: cpulimit.c: Received request to terminate due to CPU overload. when kicking its arse with the speech engine but in theory it should not bum out if this is a valid usecase even though most humans would never be able to interpret the speech at this rate [18:44] jado, or it could be that the computers got a lease while there was no dns, and you simply need to do a dhcp refresh [18:44] gpl would i need to uninstall compiz first [18:44] mount -t ntfs /dev/sda5 /mnt/windows... can i use this command to mount ntfs partition in windows? [18:44] peterz: try in an !terminal "sudo apt-get remove " [18:44] simran: no need [18:44] bucky: like there are pdftotxt or pdftohtml [18:44] thanks mate [18:44] how can i add that to the fstab?? [18:44] xepra: so what can i try? where should i look? [18:44] where you guys from [18:45] bucky:kword can do this [18:45] jado, well what does /etc/resolv.conf say? [18:45] MaNU_: are you going to use doc files on linux? [18:45] obviously from #ubuntu [18:45] terrestre You have no idea how to do that though? :/ [18:45] arun_sukesan: vi /etc/fstab [18:45] simran: earth, mostly [18:45] xepra: "nameserver 192.168.1.1" so my router [18:45] ortsvorsteher: uhm, that's what I done, it complaints it can't find the files associated with that package -- cuz I removed them allready [18:45] bucky:i wanted to edit a pdf file [18:46] same here [18:46] yes vi /etc/fstab helps to edit the file but how to do that?? [18:46] jado, can you ping it? [18:46] xepra: right now i'm talking to you while the dns is not working [18:46] peterz: may you try at first to install the package again, after that you try to remove. you know how you can do this? [18:46] xepra: sure [18:46] jado, and is that what it says when its not working? [18:46] use nano instead of vi more friendly [18:46] bucky:or can we convert it to odf format [18:46] jado, sounds like your router is fubar [18:46] ortsvorsteher: if the package were still in the repo, yes :-) [18:46] jado, try upgrading the firmware on your router [18:47] peterz: good luck ;) which package do you mean? [18:47] xepra: but it works very well and then sometimes it stops and i have to reboot it's weird [18:47] also you can check to see what dns server it is getting from your isp [18:47] arun_sukesan: type it in a virtual terminal or terminal emulator??? [18:47] ping: unknown host www.google.com [18:47] ortsvorsteher: linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22-14-server [18:47] jado, i meant ping the router [18:47] jado: linksys wrt160N ? [18:47] xepra: pinging the router works [18:47] xepra: pinging ip's works also [18:48] peterz: ah, you tried to remove an old kernel? [18:48] nightrid3r: what is that, a router? [18:48] jado: Are you sure ICMP isn't blocked by your router [18:48] ortsvorsteher: nah, I actually did remove it, including the /lib/modules/ mess [18:48] Hola¡ [18:48] jado, so take a look to see what dns servers the router is getting, maybe try putting those in your resolv.conf [18:48] orochi: what is ICMP? [18:48] and see if it works [18:48] ortsvorsteher: but now apt things its needs to remove the package [18:48] ortsvorsteher: and gets all confused [18:48] jado: It's the protocol used to "ping" sites [18:48] jado: icmp = ping [18:48] jado: just checking, i have one of those and it has the same problem [18:48] if it does then it is likely the router [18:48] hola [18:48] (To put it simply) [18:48] if not, then it is likely your isp's dns servers [18:49] peterz: take care if you remove the next kernel, always use synaptic package manager for that. it will do a clean uninstall [18:49] zenlunatic: i reached there, but there are options such as [18:49] Many, many ISP's block ICMP type 8 because it used to be used for flooding servers [18:49] orochi: no it is not since i can ping them usually [18:49] jado, so I will repeat, try upgrading your routers firmware [18:49] file system and mount points are ok [18:49] ortsvorsteher: right, too late for that now ;-) [18:49] Can you suggest me. I'm learning java, is this the right tool for open source programming? [18:49] jado: Ahh, I see...so it wouldn't be a block on that end then, hmm [18:49] hey guys [18:49] xepra: there is no way it's the isp, it's the router i think if if put the dns servers in resolv.conf then it will work [18:49] but what is options dump and pass [18:49] peterz: the next kernel will come to your system ;) [18:49] has the router auto-detected the dns servers to use from your isp? [18:49] hi guys [18:49] most of them do [18:50] ortsvorsteher: yeah, I know, I build tons of them each day [18:50] i was wondering if it's possible to use the normal 9.04 *just* to reinstall a fresh grub which's automatically detecting existing operation systems and writes itself to the MBR [18:50] i want *just* to fix grub [18:50] :D [18:50] jado, for the last time, try upgrading your routers firmware; if that doesn't work then try a new router [18:50] xepra: yes i get it :) [18:50] arun_sukesan: options are parameters you set for that entry [18:50] jado, kk :) [18:50] arun_sukesan: such as read only, read write, etc... [18:50] i tried to play warcraft through wine but all i get is a white screen with black edges? [18:50] what can i do [18:50] ? [18:50] Help!!! I upgrade Ubuntu form Intrepid to Jaunty. But I configure the keyboard wrongly. When I restart Ubuntu and come to the login window, I can't find my keyboard. How can I fix the problem? [18:51] pyxp, have you tried waiting like 20 seconds? [18:51] pr check update-grub [18:51] pyxp, mine takes a long ass time to come up on jaunty [18:51] groza: check winehq app db [18:51] groza: If you're using the version of Wine that you installed by default from Jaunty, then go to the Wine website and upgrade to the development version [18:51] ok [18:51] I restart my machine for several times. [18:51] zenulatic: ok, that means if I have to mount an NTFS partion of sda5 to /mnt/windows with rw permission, how can i edit the fstab?? [18:52] but it doesn't work. [18:52] how can make my fat32 partition to auto mount at start up? [18:52] pyxp, does the keyboard respond at all? can you get to tty1 (ie ctrl-alt-f1)? [18:52] groza: That being said even the "platinum" supported games in Wine work on some systems but not others, at varying degrees of success. It's pretty unpredictable :/ [18:52] groza: fstab [18:52] the keyboard don't repond any keystroke. [18:53] but it repond to the mouse movement. [18:53] pyxp, I repeat, have you tried waiting for like 20 seconds to a minute? [18:53] xepra more details [18:54] when I went to jaunty for some reason the keyboard takes forever to start responding to keystrokes [18:54] groza, http://lmgtfy.com/?q=fstab [18:54] I install my ubuntu in a usb disk. and when i restart my ubuntu, i don't power off the usb disk.

[19:05] di||itante:..ow ok so i need to add up on the windows client the access right of my ubuntu user..? same as vice versa...-windows to ubuntu. [19:05] What license is Ubuntu?

I think my 32 bit DVD is dead, but I still have a 64 bit one. [19:06] Sidearm: Yes, it won't work :> [19:06] Darned. [19:06] James_N: alright so if i enable it from disk manager its fine, but it doesnt do it automatically [19:06] only the other way around it will work [19:06] Sidearm: Not unless the processor is both 32bit and 64bit capable [19:06] 32-bit on 64-bit system [19:07] I'm not sure which one it is [19:07] ok,i just plugged my modem into a bt test socket and i got ~7000kbps rather than usual 3500-3900kbps. Is it safe to use a test socket with a filter and no faceplate [19:07] Sidearm, what kind of processor is it [19:07] Is anyone familiar with ubuntu imagewriter? [19:07] Hi when I close my Pidgin Buddy list it closes everything rather than go to the taskbar like it used to. Anyone know why? [19:08] jerkman: yes [19:08] Pentium 4, Berzerker [19:08] Sidearm, not 64-bit. [19:08] Thanks [19:08] jerkman: you only need the filter if you want to use telephones [19:08] jerkman: however, you should ring up for the NTE2000 faceplate with built in ADSL filter [19:08] di||itante:..? [19:08] Sidearm, pentium Ds are the first intel 64-bits, and the Athlon 64s are the first AMDs that are 64-bit. [19:08] linxeh: ok, i have a microfilter in the test socket right now, and i can make and recieve calls [19:09] jerkman: thats fine then [19:09] ruben23: [19:09] Ok, Berzerker [19:09] ruben23: ? [19:09] linxeh: so what is the point of a normal faceplate [19:09] jerkman: chances are if you disconnect the ring wire from the extensions (just leave pins 2 and 5 connected) it will be ok too [19:09] I have waited for more than one minute to start Ubuntu. But it doesn't work. --- I upgrade Ubuntu form Intrepid to Jaunty. But I configure the keyboard wrongly. When I restart Ubuntu and come to the login window, I can't find my keyboard. How can I fix the problem?... [19:09] all the extensions are non-hardwired [19:10] di||itante:..yes how do i do it with permission [19:10] jerkman: the normal faceplate has connections for extensions, and via an LC bridge gives a ring wire [19:10] linxeh: they are off various splitters [19:10] ah [19:10] it shouldnt make a difference to your signal then if they arent wired in [19:10] ruben23: you need to set that up on the windows machine [19:10] BT are providing those faceplates cheaply now though if you ask for one [19:11] linxeh: so i have this normally [MASTER]>(FILTER)>ADSL LINE and telephone splitters [19:11] linxeh: now i have [TEST]>[FILTER]>Same as before [19:12] jerkman: its possible the connections on the main faceplate are damaged I guess, or maybe one of the components is on its way out. I'd try with the new faceplate [19:12] jerkman: but you are allowed to do whatever you want after the test socket - you just cant alter the wiring before it [19:13] jerkman: thats why the split faceplate is there [19:13] ruben23: I dont know the details bc I dont use windows, but you will need permission from the windows machine to access it from the Linux machine [19:13] linxeh: ah cool. But for now, the microfilter is actig as the faceplate kinda? [19:13] Anyone encounter the problem? --- I upgrade Ubuntu form Intrepid to Jaunty. But I configure the keyboard wrongly. When I restart Ubuntu and come to the login window, I can't find my keyboard. How can I fix the problem?... [19:13] linxeh: will i see any adverse effects from using this [19:13] I installed a custom alsa driver and removing it leaves me with no driver. How can I get the default back? [19:14] jerkman: nope [19:14] linxeh: so for now, i can just leave it and enjoy a better speed [19:14] jerkman: the faceplate doesnt have any filtering, other than the LC bridge for the ring wire (nothing to do with ADSL) [19:14] jerkman: yeah definitely :) [19:14] thanks [19:14] ill do that [19:14] linxeh: cool, it almost doubled my speed!! [19:14] if a i burn new ubuntu 9.04 cd will it have all the updates on it or do i have to download them [19:15] jerkman: how long have you had adsl on the line ?

[19:15] jerkman: I'm getting 3.5mbit - and that is *good* for here :( [19:15] grawity: Yes. [19:16] surprised they dont have new version like 9.05 [19:16] linxeh: Millibits? [19:16] an include them [19:16] grawity: arf [19:16] linxeh: i was getting 512k, then rung up ISP and it went to 2mb gradually increased to just under 4. now im getting 7 and hve just paid for up to 24 [19:16] how can I submit a IP, hostname and company to a spam list? [19:16] erika1984: ubuntu is released every 6 months, not every month [19:16] grawity: I plugged the cable into a laptop and could get out on the laptop, could ping the gateway, but I can't ping the gateway from the server. [19:17] hanasaki: I don't think there is any global spam list. [19:17] when isthe next release [19:17] grawity: so what do you use? [19:17] for incoming mail? [19:17] erika1984: Ubuntu versions don work like that, the next 9.04 would look like 9.04.1 [19:17] hanasaki: Gmail's spam filter :) [19:17] erika1984: the version numbers work year,month so 9.04 is 2009,april [19:17] hanasaki: Bogofilter and SpamAssassin are good too. [19:17] they use umm sorbs [19:17] di||itante: that will never exist because is not LTS [19:17] Alright, I'm just going to put this out there... is anyone willing to help me troubleshoot why lirc support for my remote is spotty? ive tried countless combinations of OS and LIRC configs, and looked at just about every conceivable howto and guide that google offered up.

It is set up with a static IP on eth0, and eth0 is up. When I checked route, it showed a default route, but I just noticed that the default route is 192..168.122.1, which is the IP for virbr0, not eth0. [19:30] Sorry if this is offtopic, but what is mode z on this ircd? [19:30] !modes | Achmed [19:30] Achmed: There are many different channel and user modes on !freenode. Here's a list: http://freenode.net/using_the_network.shtml [19:30] Achmed: User mode or channel mode? [19:30] Achmed: http://freenode.net/using_the_network.shtml [19:30] lol freenode, now that makes more sense. I would suppose user mode, seeing as it set +z on IceMan [19:31] Hello everyone! I finally decided to fully switch to Linux and have to move all my music, video and photos to ext3. What place in my filesystem would you recommend to put it? I don't want to use the default ones in my homedir, because they'll be shared among several users with absolutely the same access permissions. [19:31] Lostinspace_46: you seem to be missing a ';' between "xbindkeys" and "fi" [19:31] fgsfds: Well you can always create a folder in your home directory that has permissions set to it that only you can read/write [19:31] IPTables appears to be running here, hm. [19:31] fgsfds: and why not better make a diferent user for all the family members¿¿ [19:32] fgsfds: /home/media ? it is up to you really [19:32] I just have /music or /data or something and stuff it all there, also mount that from separate large data partition [19:32] fgsfds: shared photos would typically go into /usr/share/ or /usr/local/share/ somewhere (share being for arch independent files). they could also fit in /srv somewhere [19:32] j #Ubuntu-offtopic [19:32] stew well, duh!! I do, don't I? Thanks [19:32] Can anybody help me get this fresh ubuntu server install on the network with a static IP?

Does anyone have any idea how to fix this? [19:35] even the "mess around with the installer trick" [19:35] doesnt work anymore [19:35] stew: I thought about /usr, but Filesystem Hierarchy Standard says it should be read only. [19:35] how the heck to install grub now? [19:36] i don't want to install ubuntu. [19:36] ok i compiz crashing Xserver [19:36] just (re)install grub [19:36] into the MBR [19:36] pr: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[19:36] pr: 1) Mind your language, 2) what do you mean reinstall grub? you're missing the grub bootloader? [19:36] stew I double checked and none of the "if" statements has a ; after the final command e.g. " /usr/bin/xbindkeys " [19:36] Nava2, i would just run "cat /dev/zero >> /dev/disk [19:36] Achmed: right [19:36] Achmed: i screwed it up some time ago [19:36] gwildor: Ok....I got the file open....showing up at Section "Device" Identifier: COnfigured video device [19:36] boot into livecd [19:36] and wipe everything [19:36] yeah, i did [19:36] one sec [19:37] xangua: erusul: yes, this seems to be the best choice yet... i just thought perhaps it's common practice to create a separate dir in the root of the fs...

[19:37] fgsfds: well i hold my media in different partitions so i have them in /media/* like many other disks [19:37] linuxson25, is that all it says? [19:37] Achmed: doesn't work [19:38] i can paste the error [19:38] if that'd help [19:38] pr: really? that would. but use http://paste.ubuntu.com [19:38] setup (hd0,0) raises: Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition [19:38] gwildor: Hmmmm.....Says: Section Device Identifier: Configured Video Device [19:38] oh [19:38] hmmmm [19:38] (on hd0, where grub was before (and some parts seem to be there) is just windows) [19:38] stew: /srv seems to be a vary interesting option, thanks! [19:38] can you remind me how to downsize a dd image to the actual data that is in the partition and not the entire size of the disk? [19:38] linuxson25, is that it?...nothing below that?

[19:39] linuxson25, sorry, i cant help you any more... this new xorg crap pisses me off [19:39] Achmed: yep [19:39] Achmed: that's right [19:39] try hd1 instead of hd0 [19:39] ok [19:39] steve_3199: I'm not following [19:39] gwildor: Ah...dont sweat it, its okay [19:39] same error Achmed [19:40] :/ [19:40] I used gpart to turn an xp partition into an ext3 partition... how do I take ownership of it from root? [19:40] that's strange [19:40] Quite. [19:40] I don't know where it would be steve_3199 [19:40] gwildor: thanx for the help so far [19:40] jiohdi, there is no partition owner. [19:40] linuxson25, sorry man [19:40] gwildor, it will not allow me to create new folders on it [19:40] so how do you know the disk has 255 partitions if you dont know where it is in /dev? [19:40] pr: Reading the ubuntu forums, came across a response that said this thread helped: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=244788 [19:40] Achmed: i'm running grub through sudo. should i do something ugly like sudo su [19:40] steve_3199: I opened gParted [19:40] how can i create /work/repo/dir1/dir2/dir3 with just 1 command, considering dir1, 2 and 3 dont exist? [19:40] jiohdi, in / or inside of a folder? [19:40] pr: I don't think there's a difference [19:41] ok [19:41] gwildor, from nautilus outside the lost and found folder which is the only one there [19:41] nightrid3r: Oddly, when I manually set the address via "sudo ifconfig eth0 10.133.237.22 netmask 255.255.255.0" it started working. [19:41] Anyone else feel like giving it a ~/.bash? lol [19:41] Lol [19:41] gwildor, I can do it from root but not from my account [19:42] i am not doing anything wrong [19:42] linuxson25, I don't even have a ~/.bash O_o [19:42] f i have a drive mounted, and i'm attempting to unmount it through umount but it complains about the device being busy, how can i find out which processes are using it? [19:42] just minding my own business [19:42] steve_3199: http://paste.ubuntu.com/257091/ check that out.. [19:42] why doesnt someone talk to me before klining me [19:42] jiohdi, maybe your account doesnt own the place it is mounted to... [19:42] Got an issue with my graphics display driver [19:42] steve_3199: if you are klined you should send email to kline@freenode.net instead of evading the ban [19:43] Achmed: lol [19:43] linuxson25, oh? do you mean .bashrc ? [19:43] jiohdi, if it is mounted to /mnt/oldhdd you need tot change permissions of /mnt/oldhdd [19:43] gwildor, it mounts like it was an external drive [19:43] you are making acusations about me [19:43] erusul: thanks! weird, but FHS says that /opt is intended for "Add-on application software packages"... oh these silly guidelines and rules we should follow...

I think the question has been answered, so thanks everyone for the help! [19:47] Sorry, GeForce 9600 GT [19:48] Nava2: i was askiing you, how did you do so many partitions [19:48] Nava2: Crashes image and freezes [19:48] I'm not seeing it in medibuntu repo for jaunty, anybody know of another source for acroread package?

[19:50] Nava2: Specially when the ACPI modules and everything else seem [ok]. I will have to crash for purpose and examine the logs. Try installing powertop [19:50] why are you banning me? [19:50] Nava2: you can use a gparted live cd or just use a gparted version inside ubuntu [19:50] terrestre: same. I think it was because I didnt "close" gparted. I finished everything I was doing then I just restarted the computer [19:50] so yeah =/ [19:50] terrestre: go on..

I'm just extremely tired, and things happen. [19:51] Thanx nightrid3r [19:51] Will have a look see [19:52] Nava2: well, you cant tweak a mount partitions so right know you only can deleted every empty partition [19:52] Nava2: well, you cant tweak a mount partitions so right know you only can deleted every unoumted and empty partition [19:52] terrestre: every one is empty [19:52] linuxson25: you'll have to switch to console mode [19:52] Should not " if [ -x /usr/bin/xbindkeys ]; then /usr/bin/xbindkeys fi " cause xbindkeys to run at startup? I double checked and I don't see anything wrong with the code, but then I AM new [19:52] I came across a command the other day for discovering where a program on the path was; does anyone know what I'm thinking of? [19:53] Got that :) [19:53] Nava2: just delete all of them [19:53] dpratt71: which or locate ? [19:53] I don't know where my files are =/ [19:53] dpratt71: which [19:53] cli, console mode? same thing? [19:53] linuxson25: yes [19:53] terrestre: then what does that leave me with.. [19:53] silly me, I thought it was "where" :-) thanks! [19:54] nightrid3r: Oh, ok... lol. But I already tried this reconfig command. Didnt work [19:54] nightrid3r: Still stuck with a white screen === kb is now known as Guest68711 [19:55] another easy one: how do I update an environment var so it persists across sessions? [19:55] nightrid3r: Oh no, wait....there is something different happening now.... [19:57] nightrid3r: The command someone else gave me read - sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [19:57] oh well, I got a problem with virsh on my ubuntu server 9.04 so Il just throw out what I know about my server and hopefully someone might know something.. [19:57] nightrid3r: Thats why nothing happened.....hmmmmmm [19:57] i know u can do wildcard subdomains, ala *.domain.com , but how to do it for domains? i want basically all domains pointed to us to use a single vh i have. [19:57] Nava2: after delete them you can resize every "correct" partition to ocupy the rest empty space in your HD, did I clear enough? [19:57] so I updated the server from 8.4 -> 8.10 -> 9.04 yesterday [19:58] and when I tried to start my virt systems it didn't work [19:58] terrestre: I'd like to try and keep my files though =/ [19:58] virsh complains that it fails to connect to the hypervisor [19:58] ok, i just installed ubuntu (jaunty) for the first time a few days ago, so i'm a linux nub... (i still find get-apt awesome). And i'm having what seems to be a common issue... my Flash is choppy. But, all i've found on google is choppiness in full screen mode... mine is choppy all the time. Also, to make up for the choppiness, when the flash is actually playing, its sped up... so everyone has a slightly chipmunk-esque pitch in t [19:58] heir voice. I've tried installing various different versions of the flash .so file but the non debian version made things worse... any suggestions? [19:58] hehe, wall of text. [19:58] Let me rephrase my question. How do I get a program to run at startup? [19:58] Nava2: "resize" option didnt delete anything [19:59] thing is [19:59] I have nothing to resize [19:59] Lostinspace_46: When you log in, or when your computer boots? [19:59] gparted treats every one as a different completely SEPARATE drive. [19:59] =/ [19:59] tldr: flash choppy, everyone sounds like chipmunks [19:59] perhaps I can rephrase... are there an irc channel for server edition? [19:59] So there is nothing to resize.. [19:59] loa: #ubuntu-server, and this channel as well. [19:59] lannel: thanks mate [19:59] Nava2: i will help you waite [20:00] Flannel: On boot. I automatically login at boot.

[20:05] nightrid3r: Just incase I did something wrong here [20:05] nightrid3r: It just asks a whole lot of keyboard input and model question??? [20:05] linuxson25: let me check [20:05] nightrid3r: Thanx [20:06] if I run Ubuntu on a laptop without a gui, how will I get low battery notifications? [20:06] seidos: you wont. you can run "acpi -b" in a shell to find out your battery status [20:06] seidos: on the other hand, i do have a friend with a .bashrc that makes the shell prompt change color as your battery life changes [20:06] hey guys ...ive downloaded several packages using synaptic gui...and i downloaded 1 (adobe flash) using deb packager installer....in synaptic Local/main the only package that shows is the adobe flash and not the others [20:06] how coe [20:06] come [20:07] seidos: You can open a virtual terminal. Ctrl+Alt+F1 [20:07] seidos: Or you can put it in your screen hardstatus or something [20:07] Then do the command [20:07] seidos: byobu (the screen-profiles-like tool) does have battery status as one of its notifiers though. I'm not sure if thats in karmic only though. [20:07] maco, hey that's cool, a shell script that changes the color [20:07] Flannel: Thanks! I get so caught up in learning to code stuff that I forget about the easy way to do things..lol. [20:07] linuxson25: sudo apt-get installxserver-xorg-video-nv [20:07] that will give basic nvidia driver [20:08] I'm using jaunty [20:08] nightrid3r: Am I gonna need a internet connection for this? [20:08] linuxson25: yes [20:08] nightrid3r: Or use the Ubuntu install disc? [20:08] I get this when I try to enable my sound module after removing some custom drivers I installed. Any ideas? http://paste.ubuntu.com/257102/ [20:08] hi all [20:09] nightrid3r: Ah man....how am I gonna do that? I only got a E220 dongle [20:09] hi i have a little sound problem here and i would be very thankfull if anbody could give me a hint on how to solve it. i have a soundblaster audigy 2 card in my system that supports hardware mixing including features like stereo to 5.1 upmix or crossover to subwoofer. On last ubuntuversion i tried everything works fine i used alsamixer to enable the upmix capabilities but on the actual 9.04 version it wont work i used alsamixer and enabled upm [20:09] ix but nothing happpens stereo inpout still gives me stereo output i think it has something to do with pulseaudio which is the only thing that looks new to me. anyone know how to make pulseaudio use the hardware upmix features or disable pulseaudio? [20:09] maybe someone know how to crack a simple md5 hash??? -___- [20:09] nightrid3r: Can you setup and run that from cli?? [20:09] !linoobx | hi [20:09] Sorry, I don't know anything about linoobx [20:09] linuxson25: no idea [20:09] linoobx: Thats not on-topic for thios channel, maybe ##security [20:09] ok thanks a lot [20:10] it sounds like byobu is the most efficient solution [20:10] for me [20:10] nightrid3r: Hmmmmm....will have to have a look at that one...but thanx for the help. Will get back to you on how I did that [20:10] ok [20:10] rumpel, i just found an article today. google disable pulseadio use alsa for ubuntu or something similair. [20:11] byobu isn't an installable package. maybe I'll come across a solution at some point. i wonder how gnome-power-manager is doing it. [20:13] hi! can anyone suggest something about how to make possible listening to multiple audio sources in subj? [20:14] Hi, I accidently deleted my /lib directory yesterday, today i went to reinstall the OS but the installer says the CD-Rom does not contain a valid 'Relese' file. As well before it boots it reads logical errors from /dev/sr0, cd drive works, any ideas? [20:14] How would I describe a mouse click to an app? Left_click, 1, select? [20:15] i need help reformatting an SD card [20:15] for some reason, gparted doesn't pick it up [20:15] xev gives me "button 1, button 2, etc. xbindkeys-config gives me nothing [20:16] pyrak, is the drive mounted? [20:16] revygttam, tried both mounted and unmounted [20:17] i'm open to just doing this from the command line... i had formatted it as a bootable linux drive, so with some swap and some ext3 [20:17] now i just want to put some files on it and have it be compatible with my printer... so i'm guessing i want fat32? [20:17] why dont my installed packages show in local in synaptics [20:17] yeah, fat32 would be good [20:17] the only one tht shows is the one i installed throught the packager [20:18] where do i find gnutls/openssl.h file [20:18] revygttam, so the first step i think is to figure out "where it is", ie /dev/something [20:18] how do i check that? [20:18] df [20:18] or you can do sudo fdisk -l [20:19] where do i find gnutls/openssl.h file [20:19] ok, looks like it's at /dev/mmcblk0 [20:20] how can I re-mount a usb drive? my hardy desktop automounts a usb drive. I have a script that works on it an umounts it when done. Now I want to remount it, but I don't want to have to unplug and replug it (and also reconfigure the usb drive itself so it can be mounted?) [20:20] Is the Xorg in Jaunty laggy for other people (nVidia drivers here)? [20:21] I basically want to understand the plumbing underneath the automounting of usb drives... [20:21] nealmcb: mount /dev/sda /mount/to/point/ [20:21] nealmcb, you have to know the UUID of the drive and add it to your fstab [20:21] I want to output my display from my laptop for a dual display, but I cannot for the life of me find the config option that lets me [20:21] WebcamWonder: right, but this is mounted in /media/disk, which doesn't exist [20:21] any ideas? [20:22] before, I used the preferences -> display in gnome [20:22] and I don't want to make the directory, then remember to delete it when done so automounting works again in the future [20:22] but only one monitor shows up there [20:22] er, one display [20:22] question: does anyone have a Lenovo T500? [20:22] nealmcb, create a folder in /media/whatever, type sudo blkid, that will give you the UUID for the drive you want to add. Then you add that to fstab [20:22] hi is somebody using Empathy? [20:22] revygttam: good point - that would help, but again I don't want to have to mkdir/rmdir [20:22] nealmcb: Then read what revygttam wrote. You can use the UUID to fix the mount point [20:23] right now i have ubuntu with root / and swap partitions. i know the advantages of a separate /home partition but is there any advantage to having a seperate /boot partition? i dont dual boot. only use ubuntu [20:23] nealmcb, you wont have to ever again === kb is now known as Guest77981 [20:24] Hm, so they want to use KDE on this machine that was installed with the ubuntu server install. I've been watching apt install the ubuntu-desktop package and Iw as just reading the package web page and it mentioend kubuntu-desktop.

Or installing them? [20:25] I have a web cam built in to this laptop, it is mounted upside down, how can I flip the image? [20:25] puff, i would let it finish, then do a sudo apt-get remove ubuntu desktop [20:26] actually, do a sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop && sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [20:26] :D [20:26] coreyman: Out of interest, what laptop? [20:26] WIth the `free -m` command I get the -/+ buffers/cache line. For example: "-/+ buffers/cache: 426 567" what does it actually mean? [20:26] revygttam: Throw in a purge as well ;P [20:26] just dont do what i did and delete you /lib file like a moron [20:27] apparently servers dont like that stuff [20:27] Jonta Asus G50V [20:27] I have a 6.06 installation - don't ask; no, I can't upgrade - and there is no "twm", "icewm" or "squeak-vm" packages.

How can i change this behavior so that the document is opened in firefox by default? [20:36] oh and you're trying to get Windows back on that list? [20:36] vj1: right click on the file -> properties -> Open with -> Select your application [20:36] if I knew that, I would've given you totally different directions lmbo [20:37] vj1: right click the file and select properties, then edit tab [20:37] Achmed: yeah, i'm trying to get grub back :) some time ago i installed netbsd, and that of cause (at least i think thats the reason) made grub not work any longer [20:37] heeyas [20:37] okay then that's the kind of specifics i needed to know rofl [20:38] webcamwonder : i already tried that but firefox is not in the list [20:38] Is there a way to customize ubuntu desktop (CD) to add 2 apps, and to set keyboard layout/language defaults?

Good, bad, slow, shaky, sturdy? [20:44] heh,i had to replace the apt get to yum though,i'm running fedora [20:44] hi. I am wanting to setup a linux internet filtering server for my parents. They are not necessarily the most computer literate so dansguardian is probably out of the question unless there is a nice gui somewhere. any ideas? [20:44] timo1: And you are missing the mount point there [20:45] BlackCoffee: yea, you have to.dont know what to replace it with though,just for the record, what do you replace it with? [20:45] yum [20:45] WebcamWonder: i actually tried that and maco: this disk is /dev/sdb: mount piont is mediasumsung [20:45] yum install soundconverter [20:45] Aptitude question: How to mark something (like ALSA 1.0.20) as "don't downgrade this back to 1.0.18" at every auto-update? [20:45] i like asus because they have a linux netbook [20:46] I got my work on both my laptop and my desktop as well as backing it up on my server... What software would be able to syn the dekstop and laptop as well as managing backups? [20:46] Ok it worked "sudo mount -t ntfs-3g -o remove_hiberfile /dev/sdb1 /media1/Samsung/" [20:46] timo1: Yeah, your mount command had some missing things :p [20:47] BlackCoffee: thanks, someday i might try it out. have it install CD but ubuntu never seems to give me a reason to install anything else.bytheway, im not sure if sound converter is available for fedora, you might want some help from their IRC if they got one. [20:47] anyone ? [20:47] Yeh thanks WebcamWonder and maco [20:47] Hi I have a problem with emerald.. all my windows has no border so it's not easy to resize them... any idea ? (pidgin, gnome-terminal, update manager..) [20:47] nmvictor, it is available,actually the installation just finished :D === user10 is now known as r10 [20:48] Max007: just use the builtin gtk-window-decorator with compiz instead of emerald. emerald is buggy and upstream has no intention of fixing it..just letting it die [20:48] BlackCoffee: Good for you, enjoy your mp3s [20:48] Never mind about Toshiba. They have four models, all sold with MSW. [20:49] revygttam, WebcamWonder: thanks - making more sense now....

[20:49] :) [20:49] maco: ok... so I just uninstall emerald and install gtk-window-decorator ? [20:50] matic: think smplayer is also fime [20:50] what's the cli command to show active internet connections, and what service/app they are connected to? (netstat is useless) [20:50] Max007: shouldve been installed by default. if you have compizconfig-settings-manager (ccsm) installed, you should be able to set your prefered window decorator in there [20:50] matic: *fine [20:50] becouse i have HD camera and i need program for processing HD movies [20:50] What players don't do HD? [20:50] revygttam: I see you're interested in android also - and that is exactly what I'm using this for :) [20:50] Ah [20:50] matic: mythtv will give you the whole nine yards [20:50] matic: kdenlive? [20:50] tonii: er...actually, netstat is the usual answer... maybe you need to change the options you give it? [20:51] nealmcb, <3 android [20:51] Evince hangs on "LOADING" while opening a file. Using Hardy. Please anyone help me? [20:51] tonii: you can't use netstat? [20:51] i need program not for watching just for doing (procesing) movies in HD resolution [20:51] maco, hm. guess I should read the man page again. [20:51] sarthorks: minimize the window, and then restore it, that should fix it [20:51] tonii: i think n and p are two of the letters you need [20:51] terrestre: it doesn't show what app ip [20:51] maco: alright [20:51] maco: i dont find the option in ccsm [20:52] tonii: netstat -ntp [20:52] matic: mplayer and smplayer work fine [20:52] terrestre: alright, I'll try that. [20:52] WebcamWonder: it used to work out that way. Thats doesnt work out any more. [20:52] sarthorks: Is the HDD working? [20:52] revygttam: check out my lightning presentation at google io about android and open source and ubuntu: http://en.androidwiki.com/wiki/OpenSourceAppSupport [20:52] maco, terrestre: worked nicely with -ntp === Julia is now known as Guest28785 [20:52] webcamwonder:what is HDD??

[20:53] terrestre: I'm used to sockstat from freebsd, which lists that stuff as default. :P [20:53] Max007: this package isnt installed? compiz-gnome [20:54] terrestre: their isn't any alternative that is more realtime, on the fly kind of thing [20:54] tonii: n means just number, t means tcp protocol, p menas program [20:54] maco: compiz-gnome is installed [20:54] webcamwonder: the ps document i was viewing was working fine. except i kept reloading it (CTRL+R) - im using LATEX- so keep updating it. after some point, it hangs on LOADING. [20:54] terrestre: yeah :) [20:54] nmvictor: i have looking for something to do that too [20:54] moin [20:54] guess I should make an alias for it [20:54] webcamwonder: i am not sure if HDD is working or not [20:54] maco: it works now.. thanks [20:55] Max007: in ccsm, go to the effects category, make sure "window decoration" is enabled [20:55] sarthorks: Try closing and reopening it... that solves most problems [20:55] matic: have you tried avidemux, not sure but its a good video editor though it couldnt load my audio device [20:55] Guys, I deleted the network button somehow on the taskbar (8.04), any ideas on getting it back? >.< [20:55] Max007: what does "command:" say? [20:55] webcamwonder: that USED to work. even that's not helping any more. [20:55] tonii, theres a network tool in the menu too [20:55] nmvictor: i will try it [20:56] terrestre: GUI I suppose? I find it faster to some stuff via terminal though :) [20:56] tonii: did you remove the notification area, maybe? [20:56] Sidearm: tasbar? do you mean panel? [20:56] Yeah the ubber gnome panelm [20:56] panel* [20:56] upper* [20:56] lol [20:56] Sidearm: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:56] maco: that wasn't meant for me, was it? :P === Commie_Cary is now known as Lenin_Cat [20:56] revygttam: Hm, would removing ubuntu-desktop first cause it to delete all the secondary packages? [20:57] Any ideas, nmvictor? [20:57] tonii: nope for Sidearm [20:57] figured as much :P [20:57] Sidearm: did you remove the notification are off of hte panel? [20:57] Sidearm: right click an empty part of the panel then select Add to panel, just like you do in windows then select whatever you deleted from that dialog [20:57] But it isn't the same :< [20:57] Eh, the "New Downloads" and Volume etc are still there, maco [20:58] Sidearm: volume is its own applet though [20:58] puff, by removing ubuntu-desktop it should remove the packages it installed. Cant guarantee all though, gnome may stay. [20:58] Sidearm: it just happens to be placed near the notification are [20:58] *area [20:58] webcamwonder: its specifically with the ps file. pdf's are opening fine. only the ps document is hanging on LOADING. [20:58] revygttam: no it doesnt [20:59] revygttam: removing ubuntu-desktop just means you wont get the new packages seeded for new versions of ubuntu [20:59] webcamwonder: its specifically with the ps file. pdf's are opening fine. only the ps document is hanging on LOADING. [20:59] puff: see what i said to revygttam [20:59] Dang it [20:59] sarthorks: Yeah, I have no clue... maybe others would be able to help [21:00] I just want to look for wireless networks :( [21:00] I dont know if any one can help get my sound working.

After hibernating, SD card never mounts. Can anyone help? [21:29] deostroll: If you want to update all your packages to what's most recent you can use the gui tool or run this with root permissions: "aptitude update && aptitude full-upgrade" [21:29] Lostinspace_46: ok, I see. Mouse clicks to keyboard presses? I don't know about that. If you get an answer, let me know.

[21:33] jenkins: I had to buy a new card and use that instead, e1000e driver ruined the on-board chip i had because of the bug [21:33] using hardy. [21:33] ok, thinkpad-keys should be the command to fire it up, but it gave this error: Could not open nvram device: No such file or directory so i guess my fingerprint scanner might not be so compatible,unless the forums have something else [21:33] guntbert: ok, thinkpad-keys should be the command to fire it up, but it gave this error: Could not open nvram device: No such file or directory so i guess my fingerprint scanner might not be so compatible,unless the forums have something else [21:33] orochi: oh, yikes [21:34] jenkins: Actually, are you running Jaunty [21:34] orochi: is there a bug# i can look at?

[21:53] terrestre: ? fsck on usbfs... [21:53] I wanted to upgrade my kernel to the one in jaunty,should be 2.6.28.(14/15)-generic, i know it comes with ext4.filesystem and thats which is one of the reasons i need the kernel-update.Im in intrepid and i dont intend to move to jaunty anytime soon, will upgrading to the jaunty-shipped kernel pose a threat to my data due to the ext3 to ext4 filesystem? [21:53] hellues: if that is just in one file - I don't think that has anything to do with the file system - so fsck will not give you meaningful results for your problem [21:53] ubuntu_: are you resizing or something? [21:53] nmvictor: Jaunty defaults to ext3 itself, ext4 is an option you can choose [21:53] the-mentor: I'm not having a problem with a usb device, udev does not populate the /dev/bus/usb directory, so lsusb does not work [21:53] i was going to terminate the Gparted check and do fsck -y but got the DANGER message about ending the check feature prematurely [21:54] can someone tell me where the preferences are for NotifyOSD in 9.04? [21:54] guntbert, 10-20 files [21:54] flohack: oh with that i have no idea sorry [21:54] orochi: so,the option is during installation or the download? [21:54] I got error reading blocks when getting next inode from scan using fsck and was taking hours of hitting Yes to fix [21:54] ubuntu_: resize a vista partition can take a couple of hourse but 8 i think is a lot [21:55] the-mentor: Thanks anyway! [21:55] Is anyone here familiar with udev on hardy? [21:55] ubuntu_ you can run fchk with the -y switch [21:55] nmvictor: During installation, I can't remember exactly when but you're explicitly given the choice of filesystems at some point in the install process [21:55] hellues: still - file system corruption seems an improbable cause here, did you play the songs with another application too? [21:55] !anyone | flohack [21:55] flohack: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [21:55] nmvictor: In either case if you upgrade to Jaunty it's not going to automatically "upgrade" your partitions to ext4 anyway, so you shouldn't need to worry unless you choose it yourself [21:56] right but i thougt i should end the Gparted check before i do the fsck-y, and get the World will end if i prematuraly end the check [21:56] and is there a way to make all of the icons on the right of gnome-panel load in the same order everytime?

[21:57] Ditto Dell [21:57] sorry [21:57] sarthorks, ok [21:57] goma: pm me if you have problems [21:57] nmvictor: Well, I haven't experienced any data loss with it myself, but ext4 is not considered a "production" filesystem yet, it's just too new...and in the case of some earlier versions of KDE 4 and ext4 combinations there were actual data loss issues [21:58] so after 8 1/2 hours i should teminate teh Gparted check, risk the world ending and do the fsck -y [21:58] nmvictor: I would say go with ext4 if you specifically need a feature in ext4 [21:58] ubuntu_: i had the same problem and and fsck with -y took about an hour and a half on a 1.5TB drive [21:58] _daniel_: if you want to test the new bluez, you can just run a live cd [21:58] I'm getting the follow 'errors' when logging in from GDM: http://pastebin.ca/1538174 [21:58] Any ideas?
