Then it will just barely show up ( http://imagebin.ca/view/ieogS0.html). Then only thing I have done since it worked to now is try that upside-down turney ( I installed squid and apache 2 from that but I purged squid).

Is it generated by putty or is it from /etc/ssh from linux host? [00:56] Veinor: I just don't understand from what to what should I make a copy === Like is now known as ONAIR [00:56] wait, when you generated keys using putty, what files were created? [00:56] Veinor: well. I pushed generated a public key and generate a private key [00:57] Veinor: public key just contein usuall content and private key is ppk [00:57] pisecx: ok so you copied your public key stuff over to the linux server right? [00:58] Veinor: no, I have created a file ~/.ssh/authorized_keys or something, opened it with nano and just inserted into it my content from public key [00:58] Veinor: is it wrong? [00:58] pisecx: that should work, hmm [00:58] Veinor: and in putty I use private key [00:58] Veinor: is that correct? [00:58] pisecx: what are the permissions on .ssh and .ssh/authorized_keys ? [00:59] run cat -E ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on the linux machine [00:59] and tell me how many $ you see [00:59] mneptok: I think default permissions for simple user [00:59] Veinor: 2 ? [01:00] how many public keys do you have in authorized_keys? [01:00] just the one? [01:00] let me show you [01:00] yeah, pastebin it [01:00] pisecx: chmod 700 .ssh && chmod 600 .ssh/authorized_keys [01:00] Veinor: I have changed it a little http://slexy.org/view/s2euZvjkKU [01:01] which linux distro is with the latest linux kernel?

[01:01] open it up in nano -w [01:01] any bazhang [01:01] Bigshot_: if you want latest, you might have to build it on yourself [01:01] and delete all the newlines in the middle of you rkey [01:01] Bigshot_, perhaps check distrowatch.com or ask in ##linux ; here is Ubuntu support [01:02] chromium is good [01:02] Veinor: I don't see any newlines in the middle. or probably didn't understand you correctly [01:03] pisecx: okay, run nano -w ~/.ssh/authorized_keys [01:03] yep [01:03] you see how the bit that goes AAAAB3 to the equals sign is on multiple lines? [01:03] pisecx: is your .pub keyfile somewhere on the Ubuntu machine? [01:03] I downloaded and installed tvu through wine. It worked fine. Now I cannot get it to work. I uninstalled it and reinstalled it and it is doing the same thing. I will click on it from my Applications-Wine tab and it will pop up.

Also whe [01:03] Bigshot_: for example with gentoo, you can emerge latest vanilla source [01:03] mneptok: no [01:04] mneptok: his keyfile is split up into multiple lines [01:04] I did the alt-f2 and put in TVUPlayer and got nothing. Even the search window closed. Then I went into the terminal and typed TVUPlayer & and it did the same thing. It closed the terminal window. I opened up another terminal and did TVUPlayer & again and got this. http://pastebin.ca/1554409 [01:04] pisecx: it will probably be easier to use cat to get the .pub into authorized_keys [01:04] Veinor: should it be one line only? [01:04] pisecx: yes [01:04] all the stuff from AAAAB3N to LBGGC73= should be on one line [01:05] ubuntu puts console fonts in /usr/share/consolefonts and they're compressed. i know i can extract them anywhere, but im going to setfont in root aswell so whats the correct place to extract terminus to?

[01:38] i assume it's libqt4-dev [01:38] elliottm: Oh my, why are you calling g++ directly? [01:39] is there a way I can get banshee to copy playlists to my Google G1 ? [01:39] the issue started when i was trying to compile it in eclipse, and i started using g++ to narrow down the cause [01:39] elliottm: Where did you get abc.cpp?

What are you trying to compile and why? === brz is now known as brez [01:41] anyone know of a way to RDP to a LINUX using rdp so you can not install a thrid party tool on a windows box [01:41] like linux is the terminal server in a sence [01:41] someone please help with my macbook pro wireless and grub [01:41] ritztech: nope. :P [01:42] fccf: when i went to alt-f2, i just typed in tvuplayer. is there a way to run it with wine? [01:42] spursncowboys: please head on over to our good friends @ #winehq , you'll obviously need some .dll's and other stuff that isn't standard in wine, but you can bring stuff in from another winbox [01:42] ritztech: there are solutions that will deploy a webbased tool for viewing (eg sun secure global desktop) but I dont know of anything that uses RDP natively [01:42] oh darn worth a shot .... [01:42] ritztech: I beleive there is xrdp or something, but I dont know how good it is [01:42] Hi [01:43] haha ijust hate the ssh tunnelling with X (hate it cause i could never get the darn thing to work) :) [01:43] ritztech: you could look at using VNC ? [01:43] if i recall VNC was reallllly sluggish [01:43] suppose there is a single operating system installed on a hard disk and the disk is encrypted using full disk encryption with pre-boot authentication, with no unencrypted free space remaining. what would the complications be in creating a second partition and installing ubuntu on it, in a safe way? [01:43] depends on your use / network :) [01:43] i'm in an opengl class, and we're using QT for the "container". we were given four files (two .h and two .cpp) to start development from, and as far as i knew it would be as simple as loading them into eclipse and compiling [01:43] ritztech: also, maybe look at NX [01:44] hmmmm i was in my network it self haha i ws just on the page for NX [01:44] i assume you'll want to see the four files [01:44] elliottm: When you compile source you should know what you're doing and why. In most cases, you need to get whatever package source from the official developers repo and use the build system to compile it. Using an IDE like Eclipse or trying to compile an individual file from the package is the wrong way [01:44] fccf: the thing is I had this working a few days ago. Then I tried to install the Upside-down topsy turney program and now it doesnt work. [01:44] i'm not trying to compile the QT source [01:45] elliottm: you'd be better off using the command line and Kate or similar unless your tutor told you to use eclipse [01:45] elliottm: I'm a massive Eclipse fan btw, but for beginners a complex IDE is not a good idea [01:46] is it kind of like a mirror driver [01:46] well i have no problem with using kate, but there's still the problem of not being able to find the header files [01:48] Dependency is not satisfiable [01:48] elliottm (and others), usually you need to pass a -I option to gcc to include libraries? [01:48] where are the error logs for compiz on Ubuntu? [01:49] i need an efi expert or someone who knows how to get a BCM4322 working [01:49] ritztech: that's right, sometime finding an alternative program is more sutible than having to reinvent the wheel [01:49] alright got some grub issues. I installed ubuntu along side windows xp. I then decided to manually remove the linux partions manually so I can install ubuntu netbook remix in the empty space. I told the paritioner to use the largest contiguos space not realizing that it was going to remove all of my previous grub pointers .. urrg. So can anyone point me in the right direction in recovering the XP grub entry? [01:49] elliottm, or in other words, gcc/g++ assumes that you know 100% what you're doing when comping stuff manually (i.e. not using a ready made configure script by autotools) [01:49] the header file that i myself am including it finds just fine, but that file tries to import other header files in the library with parts of the path missing. kahen, if the solution is as simple as that then i won't mind [01:50] hi, can I get help on rhythmbox plugin here? [01:51] so the -I option takes a file path? in this case, "/sur/include/qt4/"? [01:51] usr [01:51] LucidGuy: please look here, this discribes in detail [01:51] http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/add-windows-xp-entry-to-grub-434986/ [01:51] fccf, thanks Ill check it out. [01:52] elliottm, either an absolute path or a relative path, yes. a lot of configure scripts end up with includes like "-I ../../some/dir/" [01:52] i want this ubuntu box to act as an ad hoc wifi point [01:52] how do i do this [01:52] i just installed jaunty when it was done and i got to option to install grub or not it did not detect the ibex i had installed beforehand, how do i manually add jaunty to grub ? [01:53] So, anyone know how I can add rhythmweb plugin to rhythmbox? [01:53] linxeh yeah, we were told to use eclipse, although he said it wasn't essential. if i wanted to have eclipse add the aforementioned -I option when it tries to compile my code, how would I do that?

[01:58] cacey31: you don't extract the ISO, you burn it's contents to CD, also you should check before burnign [01:58] cacey31: that it's a good ISO [01:58] suppose there is a single operating system installed on a hard disk and the disk is encrypted using full disk encryption with pre-boot authentication, with no unencrypted free space remaining. what would the complications be in creating a second partition and installing ubuntu on it, in a safe way?

[02:01] well, it's a full disk encryption, over all partitions [02:01] 1GB [02:01] cacey31: ok should work from CD then, as long as the CD has been done right [02:02] okay i probably just haven't been doing it right [02:02] when i install this will i get an option to wipe my hard drive? [02:02] full disk encryption can't go from block 0 to last block can it? [02:02] cacey31: well it's common for newbies to for example burn the ISO to CD rather than it's contents [02:03] cacey31: you want to wipe the hard disk? [02:03] yes [02:03] all of it and just have the operating system and my drivers [02:03] sebsebseb: it's been 5 years since i did that accidentally [02:03] Alfredo555: my understanding is that's what's being done [02:03] cacey31: yes it can be installed on the whole hard disk, on a dual boot [02:03] gartral: yep something like that for me as well [02:03] cacey31: or on a dual boot above [02:04] how does the bios boot the os then? unless it's a data partition [02:04] Alfredo555: the bios will boot the hard disk, or Live CD/DVD [02:04] must admit, i'm not sure how it works at that level [02:04] Alfredo555: or Live USB even [02:05] external media is different, and won't be used at every boot [02:05] Alfredo555: well the boot order in the BIOS :) [02:06] hi all [02:06] Alfredo555: have you considered running a virtual machine of ubuntu in your encrypted host's OS [02:07] !hi | Ulises [02:07] Ulises: Hi!

[02:18] arand: what's the most convenient program, depends on the user [02:19] So, curiosity has me. I have Coraline, a DVD from Netflix, and it's got 5.1 audio. But, even in Totem, when I set the audio channels to 5.1, it only plays out stereo, and I have checked and set the volumes for the Surround, Front, LFE, etc. [02:19] cacey31: any luck? [02:19] what up[ [02:19] AvonGenesis: do you have totem-mozilla installed? [02:19] MD5 Check sums are different [02:20] cacey31: you sure you did for the right CD? [02:20] fccf: I believe I don't. The package list never listed that? [02:20] what up you all [02:20] cacey31: I mean they provide the md5sums for all of the releease CD's [02:20] !ot | gothicboy666 [02:20] gothicboy666: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[02:20] fccf: Yup I had it installed from the start. [02:21] sebsebseb:i have the md5sum and infarecorder [02:21] Anyone? Any thoughts as to how to get actual surround sound support /working/? [02:21] cacey31: you compare it to the md5sum on one of their pages [02:21] cacey31: have you done that? [02:21] hey can some one tell me how to use wine to play a windows game call cambat arm ?? [02:21] AvonGenesis: another option is the vlc plugin [02:21] sebsebseb: no [02:21] gothicboy666: install wine, install the program, and hopefuly it works [02:21] sebsebseb: where do i go for that? [02:21] gothicboy666, Wine-Doors and/or PlayOnLinux [02:21] gothicboy666: if not you may need to configure, and ask #winehq for help [02:21] <_CommandeR_> Hi, i have a question why does it take so long to stop apache2 server ? [02:22] it dot work for me it keep say i can use this in wine [02:22] gothicboy666: or give up and try it in a virtual machine of Windows [02:22] gothicboy666: ask that question in #winehq please this is for ubuntu spacific support, and not wine [02:22] _CommandeR_, Because it shuts down every listening process. [02:22] ubuntu is not detecting ati radeon 3200 card what should i do??? [02:22] _CommandeR_, And waits, nicely, for them to finish normally to not interupt. [02:22] fccf: Well, my main video player installed is totem and i would like to use that for everything. Guess im picky :P [02:22] sebsebseb: where do i go to compare md5sums? [02:22] cacey31: hang on about to give you the link [02:23] sebsebseb: ok thanks === ldlework is now known as Guest19485 [02:23] ubuntu is not detecting ati radeon 3200 card what should i do???

[02:23] ok ok :D [02:24] itchy fingers hehe [02:24] cacey31: http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.04/MD5SUMS [02:24] mine too....but for different reasons [02:24] cacey31: http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.04/MD5SUMS [02:24] im having trouble i cant find opera in package manger or in add remove thing and now when i update i get this error W: GPG error: http://deb.opera.com stable Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY F9A2F76A9D1A0061 [02:24] fccf: Well the website I want to stream video from uses the computer's video player (not sure if thats worded right). So on a windows, it would use windows media player in firefox. Plus flash kinda lags for me :P [02:24] !info opera [02:24] Package opera does not exist in jaunty [02:25] ok so how to get the error to go away [02:25] !info opera-browser [02:25] Package opera-browser does not exist in jaunty [02:25] sebsebseb: ty [02:25] so how do i get that error to go away [02:25] dillard_: it used to be in one of the repos, the partner one or something hmm [02:25] dillard_: maybe still is, but you got to enable it [02:25] dillard_: make sure you have the correct key, or ignore it .... [02:25] dillard_: however that Opera is not likely to be the most up to date one anyway [02:25] Bigshot_: have you tried installing xserver-xorg-video-radeon driver for your card? [02:26] ftp://ftp.opera.com/pub/opera/linux/1000/final/en/ [02:26] bastid_raZor: xorg-driver-fglrx <--- these?? [02:26] latest debs in there [02:26] Hello again, Now, how do i add jaunty to grub when im in a live session ? [02:26] Hi all. [02:26] I have a few questions regarding ip configuration of interfaces. [02:26] sebsebseb: MD5 check sums are the same [02:26] gartral: I opened the case last night to put in a video card, but as it turned out, I ended up putting the same video card back into it. [02:26] Bigshot_: nope, fglrx is the propietary driver and radeon is the opensource one. [02:26] sebsebseb: now what do i do? [02:27] willl it work on 3200? [02:27] cacey31: the code is the same as the one on the page for the desktop version ah ok [02:27] which one is better? [02:27] cacey31: now you need to use a program that can burn the contents of an ISO/image to CD [02:27] <_CommandeR_> Psi-Jack, but is there no way to make it faster, it takes 5 minutes or so for me [02:27] sebsebseb: i just used a radom link from the site [02:27] <_CommandeR_> Psi-Jack, Do you know any good app to remote control ubuntu ? [02:27] sebsebseb: okay i'll so that now [02:27] <_CommandeR_> Psi-Jack, from a linux/windows OS [02:27] Bigshot_: better != works ... if the fglrx driver doesn't work.. then try the alternative. [02:27] cacey31: a random link from the site? [02:27] _CommandeR_, ssh [02:27] _CommandeR_, putty [02:27] sebsebseb: from the link [02:28] sebsebseb: the one you gave me [02:28] which one should i try first bastid_raZor?> [02:28] I use to have network aliases for dealing with multiple ip addresses on same interface, but have nos reconfigured using ip addr add insted (seems like that is the new way) However to have this set up after reboots, where to put the config? Is there a new syntax for this in /etc/network/interfaces or should I put it somewhere else? [02:28] cacey31: imgburn will do your ISO for example [02:28] Bigshot_: have you tried the fglrx driver already? [02:28] <_CommandeR_> Psi-Jack, but with a GUI so you can see the desktop [02:28] nope [02:28] sebsebseb: okay i'm using INfarecorder now to burn to a DVD-R [02:28] bastid_raZor: how to remove useless driver? [02:28] _CommandeR_, Servers don't have "Desktops". [02:28] cacey31: DVD R hmm that's a waste of one [02:28] cacey31: you got no CD R's ? [02:28] eklof: have you looked at man interfaces? [02:29] <_CommandeR_> mine does :) [02:29] fccf: that thread was on how to install grub, how do i add jaunty to the menu.lst [02:29] Hey everyone [02:29] cacey31: the ISO is CD sized, so it's a bit of a waste to burn to a DVD really [02:29] sebsebseb: DVD rw sorry pressed enter on accident === jabagawe` is now known as jabagawee [02:29] cacey31: rw hmm I think it's also usauly better to burn to R's [02:29] fccf: oh god, that would perhaps do the trick :) [02:29] _CommandeR_, Negative. Servers do NOT have "Desktops". Canonical, nor Ubuntu people support X on servers. If it's a server, support for X is not given. [02:30] sebsebseb:i don't have any Rs atm [02:30] Bigshot_: then try which ever you want. if you installed it with apt-get or synaptic then just remove them the same way. [02:30] guess what my ubuntu desktop can support....lol [02:30] <_CommandeR_> Psi-Jack, This is just a normal laptop that gonna run for a school project [02:30] fccf: Hmm, odd, gstreamer in firefox seems to be working now... thanks for your help though :D [02:30] _CommandeR_, Why on earth would you run a server on a laptop? [02:30] Hey guys, this is going to sound like a silly question, but I haven't played with Linux in a long time... I'm trying to open a .torrent from Firefox in Deluge, but I don't know where to find Deluge [02:30] sebsebseb: just bought these dvds cause i was doing everything wrong and thought maybe i needed bigger disks [02:30] cacey31: sebsebseb: I have used RWs often, are there really that much of an advantage with Rs, hmm? [02:31] arand: ok well whatever works [02:31] Where would be the default location for a torrent client / anything, I guess [02:31] cacey31: sounds like you should be ok [02:32] <_CommandeR_> Psi-Jack, its just for an website :) [02:32] sebsebseb: the disk writing is complete i'm putting the cd back into my vista machine and comparing the md5sum again [02:32] cacey31: you don't need to do that [02:32] okay [02:32] cacey31: just check the ISO before burning :) like you did, and if the codes match good to go [02:32] sebsebseb: okay [02:32] _CommandeR_, Well, sorry, but it's still not supported. Servers don't run X. [02:32] sebsebseb: now put it in my computer and reboot? [02:32] _CommandeR_, Even more so, on a laptop. That's insecure as all heck. [02:32] cacey31: you can check in Vista if you want [02:32] Dreamglider-Live: run this and follow directions [02:32] sebsebseb: this machine has xp [02:33] gartral: The intarwebs tell me to go into bios and disable chassis intrusion detection, but I don't see anywhere in the bios to do that. [02:33] sebsebseb: the one i'm using to burn the cd has vista [02:33] cacey31: which one is it going on? [02:33] sebsebseb: the one with xp [02:33] cacey31: ok check in the Vista one then [02:33] cacey31: it should load up as a DVD with the Ubuntu stuff on it [02:33] how do I share files to a Windows computer [02:33] !samba | GuidMorrow [02:34] GuidMorrow: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

[02:34] or, rather, how do I share files /and/ printers [02:34] sebsebseb: okay should i boot up the one with vista as a cd drive first through the bios [02:34] puff: then physically bypass any intrusion detection (if any) usually a switch on the case or a couple of contacts somewhere [02:34] sebsebseb: to check if it works [02:34] !printer | GuidMorrow [02:34] GuidMorrow: Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups.

[02:35] cacey31: ok no problem, and if you want some installation help, like good programs to put on, I can do that as well [02:35] Dreamglider-Live: where it says code: xxxxxxx [02:35] Dreamglider-Live: ubuntu cd [02:35] in a terminal please [02:36] fccf: Hm, I'll have to open it again and try to figure it out. Or maybe dig up the paperwork from when we bought this case a couple years ago, and check. [02:36] * puff is instally mytbuntu, woo-hoo! [02:36] fccf: i did install grub but jaunty in not in the menu.lst [02:37] Dreamglider-Live: you'll need to specify that you have two drives ... there is a /boot/grub/menu.lst on both drives so copy from one to the other [02:37] Hm, "A volume with software packages has been detected. Would you like to open it with the package manager?" [02:37] can anyone tell me, how to lift awn off the bottom of the screen, similar to the dock used for gOS [02:38] WOOT IT WORKED [02:38] rebooting now [02:38] belorix: possibly hold alt and left click to move? [02:38] fccf: Ah ok i will check that out [02:38] fccf: i did not install grub when installing jaunty !

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [02:39] That's *probably* the old jaunty install on this box. I'm kinda leaning towards a fresh install, but then again this box doesn't have any network access. Hm. [02:39] Dreamglider-Live: or another boot loader such as Lilo, or maybe you got a Grub already on there [02:39] Dreamglider-Live: that can be edited to boot Ubuntu as well [02:39] ? [02:39] ok, where does it install samba at, I can't findit [02:40] Dreamglider-Live: I think you will want to use the "grub-install" command in some constellation. [02:40] sebsebseb: i had grub installed beforehand, and jaunty did not detect ibex so i did not install it, i thought i could add to the ibex grub [02:40] Dreamglider-Live: why you got ibex still on there? [02:40] Hm, I have an 8GB USB key, where does apt keep the package files again?

I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [02:59] sarutobisensey: How much RAM? [02:59] gartral, ALSA works just fine for me. And I don't even need dmix, because I have a real sound card. [03:00] dov: i want to install 9.04, but i'm afraid that the Wi-FI not work in it [03:00] hi i am trying out a new theme and i quite frankly do not like how it repersents some of its icons in particular brazo disk burner rhythm box music player and gimp . where are the defalt icons stored so that i can change them myself [03:00] Psi-Jack: i have a cs46xx.. lol [03:00] sarutobisensey: if 8.10 works good [03:00] sebsebseb: 512MB RAM [03:00] gartral, I have the last good Creative Labs sound card, a PCI 512 emu10k1, which has 32 hardware mixers, instead of just 1, like all modern ones have. [03:01] sarutobisensey: 9.04 probably won't really be worth the upgrade from 8.10 in your case. [03:01] the Wi-fi works good in 8.10, but now is runing slow [03:01] "Then edit your /etc/fstab file (you need root privileges)" ... uh how?! [03:01] I used to find videos that I watch from youtube in the /tmp directory, but now I use ubuntu 9.04 where can I find it ? [03:01] Any one can help please ? [03:01] sarutobisensey: espeasilly now with 9.10 out at the end of October [03:01] what's the command for editing /etc/fstab? [03:01] sarutobisensey: you got 512MB RAM, have you got a SWAP though how big is it? [03:01] !swap | sarutobisensey [03:01] sarutobisensey: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [03:01] GuidMorrow: vim [03:01] GuidMorrow, there is no program for doing that. so just gksudo gedit /etc/fstab [03:02] sarutobisensey: see if you can test the wifi support on a liveCD OR google "[your_machine_model] ubuntu 9.04 install" [03:02] gartral, The big problem with OSS, is it's not very defined as ALSA became. WIth OSS, you just have /dev/dspX, and with a system with many sound devices, like I have, SB512, USB Headset, USB Mic on USB Camera, etc.. it gets annoying, but with ALSA, it shows the actual device name so it can be easily identified, in everything using ALSA. [03:02] I used to find videos that I watch from youtube in the /tmp directory, but now I use ubuntu 9.04 where can I find it ? [03:02] sebsebseb: the Wi_FI can't test in the liveCD [03:02] Any one can help please ? [03:02] hey, I seem to be having trouble starting cron on my ubuntu-server machine - help?

[03:10] how would I run a cron command every 10 minutes?

You have to set 'SHMConfig' 'true' in xorg.conf or XF86Config to use GSynaptics [03:33] if I reinstall ubuntu [03:33] well it was worth a shot i followed that exactly and my wow worked perfectly [03:33] on the same machine [03:33] can I use my /var/cache/apt/archives [03:33] instead of redownloading * [03:34] or would it fuck up my apt?

[03:38] i think i found it [03:38] can I just copy over my /var/cache/apt/archive/ if I reinstall over the same sys instead of redownloading archives I already have? [03:38] I have it all on my external [03:38] I just don't want to screw my repos up [03:38] better Psi-Jack [03:38] are you less offended, sir? [03:38] i think its ok [03:38] retq: that dir can get autocleaned at times also. so what yoyu have in it now may not be all that you have installed. [03:38] want a cracker? [03:38] jus add it up? [03:39] retq: there are some 'apt-cacher' tools that can set up one machine to 'cache' all the downloaded ackages for the whole network/lan - that can make things easier also [03:39] Dr_Willis, It's the same machine, I formatted the old install of 9.04 and reinstalled [03:39] Dr_Willis, I backed it up on my external [03:40] Dr_Willis, I'm not sure how best you expect me to tackle this, recommendations?

[03:41] cool [03:41] nice, really good news. [03:41] yeah, it's only the stuff you've downloaded and not deleted yet [03:41] agreed [03:42] I would want to set up Samba using SWAT, but hell, I don't know what my computer's name is!

[03:44] should I go with 32 bit ubuntu or 64 bit I can run 64 bit but is it really worth it? [03:44] blue0488: How much memory do you have? [03:44] blue0488: And do you have a 64-bit capable machine, should probably be the first question. [03:45] gwildor ... not accoring to my little volume icon [03:45] GuidMorrow: try cat /etc/hostname [03:45] : try this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=119694 [03:46] 4gb and yeah I have a 64-bit capable machine but is it really worth it to go to 64-bit [03:46] thanks [03:46] blue0488, Yes. [03:46] blue0488, Because then you can run software both 64bit native, and 32bit native. Instead of just 32bit native. [03:46] blue0488: You can't see all 4gb without the 64-bit. I've had a few little problems here and there, mostly related to proprietary stuff that isn't 64-bit [03:46] But I think overall it has worked well for me [03:47] Nafai, Memory has only a bit to do with 64-bit support. [03:47] is there any problems with the 64-bit ubuntu? [03:47] Psi-Jack: Sure, but at least for me that was the main motivating factor [03:48] Nafai, 32-bit supports 32gb RAM [03:49] Nafai, The only difference, is 64bit supports lots more than that, and can allocate more than 4gb memory to any given program needing it. [03:49] Nafai, So. How is memory a deciding factor? [03:49] so I'm having some pretty wicked framerat issues in WoW, I am often stuck at 3-4 frames per second for no discernable reason, this same PC ran WoW much better before I installed ubuntu, upgraded the proccessor and doubled the RAM, before you ask, I am running in opengl mode on an nvidia card AND have tried the registry edit with absolutly no effect, I am running two monitors on the same Geforce4 440 MX, but this was also the case w [03:50] Spoon, Try #winehq [03:50] Okay, I stand corrected and misunderstood [03:50] thanks, I will [03:52] where is the pidgin program located on my ubuntu comp? === aroot is now known as Guest38984 [03:53] which pidgin [03:53] Psi-Jack: the irc program. [03:53] the chat program [03:53] yellowrooster, It's not an IRC program. Type which pidgin in a terminal. [03:53] yellowrooster, programs -> internet [03:53] application > internet ? [03:53] hi, how big does a vista partition need to be on a dual boot machine? assuming future installation of win 7? this will be dual boot with ubuntu [03:53] Psi-Jack: thanks [03:54] pidgin does support irc [03:54] MK-ubuntu: [03:54] the hole reason I ask if I should have 32-bit or 64-bit is there are a couple of programs in ubuntu that I can't get to work like the virtualbox and the lm-sensor in the terminal [03:54] x_: it does, doesn't it. [03:54] Dan48p: 60GB is probably a good size, and dual booting Windows :( [03:54] i'm chatting to all of you know in #ubuntu via pidgin. [03:54] lol [03:54] yellowrooster, do sudo aptitude install pidgin [03:54] Dan48p: virtual maching on the other hand :D [03:54] MK-ubuntu: i don't need to do that, since i already have it installed. [03:55] and also do < sudo aptitude search pidgin-* > [03:55] blue0488, 32bit software works generally just fine under 64bit, through 32bit libraries. [03:55] i'm on irssi. the less crappy irc client than xchat [03:55] to install additional things [03:55] MK-ubuntu: "which pidgin" is simpler. [03:55] hey [03:55] x_: same for Konversation :) [03:55] MK-ubuntu, Inaccurate. [03:55] x_: to be fair though Xchat is ok [03:55] why does ubuntu set yourhostname 127.0.1.1 in /etc/hosts [03:55] sebastien, this not be in a vitrual box, just separate partitions for installation on the hard disc. do i need that much for applications or can i install win apps on the main data partition [03:55] MK-ubuntu, aptitude searches repositories, NOT where the actual already installed binary is. [03:55] I am just asking if any one has any trouble with the sensors in 64-bit [03:56] lol [03:56] sebastien, sorry wrong name to red too [03:56] Dan48p: what I am getting at here is, you may not need it on dual boot in the first place :) [03:56] fez: because it needs to know that that hostname points to you [03:56] Dan48p: Which Windows programs do you want to run? How much RAM do you have? [03:57] Psi-Jack, i kno.. i wanted him to install additional plugins [03:57] Dan48p: and yes Windows and Windows programs tend to take up quite a bit of space [03:57] MK-ubuntu, He didn't ask for that. Why are you doing that? [03:57] if i wanted to see if if is installed i would have told him to do < dpkg -L pidgin > [03:57] Dan48p: some may even think 60GB is to little for Windows, because of apps they are going to run [03:57] or < whereis pidgin > [03:57] join #dumaguete [03:58] Rollioz, No [03:58] Dan48p: that's a beautey of most Linux distributions right there, the OS and a lot of programs, won't take up that much space at all [03:58] sebsebseb, probably not many windows apps [03:58] sorry wrong input.. [03:58] Dan48p: which apps? maybe you can Wine them :) [03:58] Dan48p: and have them working really well in Wine, or find alternatives [03:58] wont take much space cause most 'big' games wont run.. lol just kidding [03:58] sebsebseb, this is on a laptop, i just want to leave windows on primarily to try out win 7 when i get my free upgrade [03:58] Dan48p: and if it's not 3D stuff, well Windows virtual machine should work [03:59] Dan48p: oh you bought one in July or August this year, and so will get a free upgrade, that's what you mean? [03:59] sebsebseb, i guess i should be more specific... this will run very few programs in windows. yes i just bought it so i want to try win 7 whenever i get the cd in the mail. [03:59] sup [03:59] Dan48p: with enough RAM, you can virtual machine Windows 7, well depending on what kind of DVD they give you [04:00] sebsebseb, however, i have ubuntu on one of my desktops and would rather use that primarily. this laptop has 4gb of ddr3, but only a 1.3 ghz core 2 solo [04:00] Dan48p: also it's just Vista version 2 basicalley, so not that great over all [04:00] !dualboot | Dan48p [04:00] Dan48p: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [04:01] sebsebseb, i have a amd64 flash boot disk made up will that work properly on an intel cpu? [04:01] Dan48p: yep that's more than enough RAM to virtual machine it :) [04:01] well i heard they develop the windows from scratch again [04:01] hello@all know anyone the solution for the bug icewm hangs on logout with pcmanfm as desktop-manager? [04:01] x_: no it's rather similar to Vista [04:01] in the ouside maybe [04:02] x_: just better eye candy and things like that [04:02] dang i have bad grammer [04:02] x_: enough fools will upgrade to it from XP, rather than going to an OS that is properly decant, Ubuntu, Mac OS X, etc, anyway [04:02] !ot [04:02] hi [04:02] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [04:02] sebsebseb, basically my laptop is sitting at the "shrink partition" screen waiting for me to figure out what i'm doing. i do have a 14gb partition that says EISA config but dunno what that means [04:03] windows xp is legendary [04:03] Okay, so, mplayer in ubuntu 9.04 is old. Where can I find backports for it, or alternative repos for it? [04:03] lol [04:03] x_: and for Windows pretty good really, you should check out #ubuntu-offtopic [04:03] u guys use songbird? it rocks!!! [04:04] !u [04:04] U is the 21st letter of the modern latin alphabet. Neither 'U' or 'Ur' are words in the English language. Nor are 'R', 'Y', 'l8', 'Ne1' or 'Bcuz'. Mangled English is hard for non-native English speakers. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/abbreviations/ for more information. [04:04] Psi-Jack: Here's a few options: http://ppa-search.appspot.com/search?search_key_word=mplayer [04:04] maco: oh there's a factoid for that even :D [04:04] sebsebseb: aye, that there is [04:05] ehhh [04:05] Nafai, Hmmm. ppa doesn't look very sane. [04:05] Sure some of them might not [04:05] Have you checked mediabuntu? [04:05] hi [04:06] hmmm [04:06] Nafai, Hmm, actually, no I hadn't. Good idea. [04:06] Dan48p: you should let Vista resize itself, or dataloss can happan [04:06] well my machine says i can only shrink the vista partition down to 142k bytes. anyone know of a solution for this [04:07] Dan48p: Are you trying to get rid of it? [04:07] sebastien, 142000 mb's i mean [04:07] Oh :) [04:07] Makes more sense now [04:07] Nafai: no he wants to dual boot === jabagaw`` is now known as jabagawee [04:07] Nafai: since he will get a free upgrade to Vista version 2 (Windows 7) [04:08] yea, trying to shrink.... i was thinking maybe 30gb but 142 is overkill [04:08] True [04:08] Dan48p: boot up Vista, and use it's tool to resize it's own partition [04:08] Yeah, probably a good idea [04:08] It might need defragged or something [04:08] how do i do that? i'm in vista now under 'computer management' [04:08] Dan48p: yes that's what I meant [04:08] Dan48p: and if you don't put in a size, I think it will go as small as it will go [04:08] i also just defragged with the vista tool about 10 mins ago [04:09] Dan48p: also Vista likes to take up a lot of space [04:09] what're .run files for? [04:09] lanzelloth, To run [04:09] :D [04:10] helloh [04:10] sebsebseb, 142gb is about half of the current ntfs partition. is this a normal minimum shrink size or would i have to use another tool to do this with? [04:10] any recommendations on a tool that can write a bootable ISO to usb flash drive? [04:10] Dan48p: yep it does stuff like that [04:10] I'm downloading the ati driver from amd.com for my ati x1400 and it comes in a .run [04:10] Dan48p: you try and make it small, but then you still end up with a massive partition [04:10] lanzelloth, Yeah, Follow the directions at AMD's website. [04:10] Dan48p: maybe you can shrink it even more with the command line tool or something, anyway better to ask in ##windows [04:10] lanzelloth, And RUN the program. [04:11] probably a good idea, i'm sure i will be back on here later once i get around to the linux part. [04:11] where do I find my computer name (the name to put instead of /localhost/? [04:11] GuidMorrow, type, hostname [04:11] Dan48p: ok [04:11] ? [04:11] Psi-Jack, this is probably newer than the one in ubuntu repos? [04:12] lanzelloth, Definately likely. Not always recommended, however. [04:12] Psi-Jack, because it hasn't been extensively tested by the ubuntu community? [04:14] lanzelloth, That too. [04:14] อ่ะ [04:14] ใช้ได้แล้ว [04:14] Simna: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[04:17] yeah, dump all the iso contents to the usb [04:17] LucidGuy [04:17] hidden files included [04:17] how do I check which xorg version I'm running [04:17] The_Bridge, yes [04:17] LucidGuy : u dont need any tool,just use live cd [04:17] if u have one [04:17] cp -r /mounted/iso/directory/ will do it [04:18] Anyone know why when I went to install Ubuntu 64bit I got a screen of flashing colours [04:18] The_Bridge, its not an ISO of ubuntu. [04:18] ensure you type a trailing slash, or you'll copy the directory itself which is not correct [04:18] oh,im sorry [04:18] miguelonnnn, I highly doubt its going to copy the boot up iformation etc. [04:18] you don't need it [04:19] the ISO im trying to write to USB is a toshiba boot dvd. [04:19] you just copy the files into the usb and then make it bootable with grub or syslinux or any other bootstrap tool [04:19] hey guys i got a question, does ubuntu automatically install drivers? [04:19] totti, drivers for what? [04:19] totti: I'm pretty sure yes, having trouble with something? [04:19] except the proprietary ones, yes? [04:20] Hey, does anyone know how to disable that three column interface dealy in the Netbook Remix? i'm pretty tired of seeing it in the background. [04:20] totti: depending on what dvices, in most cases the drivers i the kernal work just fine [04:20] just wanted to know, because i'm using an hp mini, an youtube seemed to go faster in windows xp... [04:20] alguem de fortaleza CE [04:21] miguelonnnn, hmm .. I think you are making it sound easier then it is.

[04:24] x_: in here [04:24] ubottu, hi how are you doing bot ? [04:24] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [04:24] I can't run SWAT, it's giving me "unable to connect" messages, what did I do wrong?

[04:25] owh man [04:25] snowman : try vlc [04:25] !dvd | snowman [04:25] snowman: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [04:25] My issue is a have a netbook that I want to resotre to factory with the bootable DVDs provided. But I dont have an external usb/dvd player. So trying to get these boot dvds to a usb stick. [04:25] snowman, try VLC [04:25] snowman: i like dragon since it uses xine and totem uses gstreamer. xine has better dvd support [04:26] so I'm trying to install the newest ati driver from amd.com but I'm worried what'll happen to the xorg one that's currently running [04:26] LucidGuy: ok so can you rip the dvd to iso? [04:26] lanzelloth, why from there? why not the ones from repo? [04:26] maco, yes I got that already ... [04:26] ok i put ubuntu on my usb drive and and want to install some programs for example flash is there any way of bypassing the password or what is the pass word? [04:26] thanks all ill see what i can find [04:26] maco, I did that with dd command [04:26] how can i get onto the #gimp-users room? I seem to be the only one there. [04:27] arvind_khadri, it has some bugs, I wanna see if the newest one has it fixed [04:27] NuUser : login password? [04:27] no [04:27] not login pass word [04:27] i installed ubuntu via minimal cd, and then installed openbox, other stuff, as well as alsabase, alsa-utils and linux sound base - but for some reason i am not able to get sound... anyone know what is up? [04:27] root? [04:27] it should be? [04:27] yes [04:27] :) [04:27] default password : root [04:27] just sudo passwd [04:27] try that [04:27] !root [04:27] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [04:28] !noroot [04:28] We do not support having a root password set. See !root and !wfm for more information. [04:28] LucidGuy: and usbcreator wont let you use the iso that resulted? [04:28] i have to sudo passwd [04:28] Anyone know why when I went to install Ubuntu 64bit I got a screen of flashing colours ? [04:28] maco, correct it states its not an ubuntu live cd .. urg. [04:29] LucidGuy: oh...is it a windows disc? [04:29] i bet that was never tested [04:29] maco, it probably is since its a toshiba recovery dvd [04:29] we it thinks its running on a disk [04:30] but it is just an alternative boot [04:31] NuUser : can't quite understand what u mean [04:32] u're runnin ubuntu from live-usb ? [04:32] thanks guys the pass change worked perfectly [04:32] should be no passworrd [04:32] so I installed xorg-driver-fglrx from the repos, but I can't find it in admin->hardware drivers [04:34] can someone help me install a tar.gz file nicotine plus [04:35] what happened [04:35] !compile > BellinXFelon [04:35] BellinXFelon, please see my private message [04:36] BellinXFelon: no need to compile from source. its in the repositories [04:36] wow can't believe this is soo difficult [04:37] LucidGuy: you may be screwed [04:37] it wouldnt be too surprising if those tools could only handle linux live cds since the filesystems and the stuff needed to boot are rather specific [04:37] LucidGuy : borrow some dvd burner [04:38] LucidGuy: maybe if you yank the hard drive, put it in an enclosure, and install to the hard drive using a different computer that has a dvd drive? [04:38] I dont know why Im even trying this ... Im sure when I return it someone will eventually reload the system anyways .. refurbish etc. [04:39] but the chick told me the OS has to be intact ... I think thats bullshit. [04:39] The OS is actually intact .. just grub is in the way and you have to select it. I guess I can try and recover the xp loader.

But when I go to the system monitor (or use top) nothing is using that much CPU [05:08] that mbr then points to post mbr disk location, called 1.5 stage (former was 1.0) [05:09] of course i run openwrt with static dhcp hosts so each machine's hostname always resolves to them [05:09] hey arvind_khadri do you know if hiddenmenu works on grub2 .. its not commented out anywhere [05:09] the grub code at 1.5 stage loads stage 2.0 at the partition, and menu.lst [05:09] but things are definately running slow [05:09] so all you need is to install grub at the disk [05:09] and set correctly the menu.lst [05:10] bmoloney : widget may have different detection method from native monitor [05:11] hello guys, anyone here can help me out with running World of Warcraft if u can that would be great im a new user and i need some help if possible :) [05:11] what distribution are you running? [05:12] The_Bridge: is there another way to find the offending process? [05:12] how do i reset my sound system? === kevin is now known as uvacav [05:12] Anybody in here have an Eee 1005HA? [05:12] xubuntu simplecreator [05:13] anyone? [05:13] !sound [05:13] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [05:13] its pretty good, although its network interface appled works kinda bad for my hdspa usb modem [05:13] can someone tell em the command to reset my sound ? [05:13] sry surgy i duno, but i'll search on google [05:14] brb w8 please [05:14] alsa force-reload [05:14] try it please [05:14] did it work? [05:15] checking [05:15] ok" ;D [05:15] Man. [05:15] I need HELP [05:15] sure [05:15] thanks [05:15] StrangePaint, in? [05:15] I installed ubuntu, it is good.

[05:16] nah its not good [05:16] go on.. whats your prob [05:16] owen1, why not just install it to ~/.mozilla plugins dir? [05:16] is it true ubuntu server is incompatible with most cpanel? [05:16] The_Bridge, google it. I guess that will be more help. [05:16] shiki-: sure. i'll try anything. how do i do that? [05:16] great no problem shiki [05:17] owen1, wait..sec [05:17] anyone else notice a nameless process in system monitor? [05:17] hey guys [05:17] I have it in it's own partition, I have two drives, my 320GB c drive and my 500GB d drive, ubuntu is in a 40GB paritition of my D drive. the 320gb drive and the 500gb are as NTFS, I don't really want to use them, should I unmount them when I use ubuntu? Also, I get a virus on ubuntu, It won't effect me but if it gets into my D or C drive it will when I boot into vista (i have a dual boot) [05:17] how does cp handle spaces in the filenames? [05:17] last thing was a Question === gentux is now known as dimm [05:17] does anyone know how to get a package of the sphinx searcher for my server [05:18] If your microphone still does not work If your microphone still does not work in apps, try recording using gnome recorder to test basic recording function. If this fails, it is unlikely that other apps can work without further tweaking. In some cases with Intel HDA sound chipset, ALC861VD, you may need to configure your alsa setup. [05:18] HOW??? [05:18] StrangePaint, you CAN unmount them, but thats not neccessary. AND even if you boot them up, they wont download viruses by their own... [05:18] :) of course i can google it,but i'm hoping there's someone here with actual experience [05:18] I know I know MS is evil.. but still.. I didnt see a single virus for 4 years already [05:18] what is the default console resolution when boot? how can I check / change it at runtime? [05:18] lakotajames1, well.. "alsamixer" or "alsamixer -c 0" or "alsamixer -c 1" [05:19] shiki: I know, but what if I get a virus when I'm booted up to ubuntu, on the C drive lets say - when I boot into windows it will be there.. [05:19] to settup alsa "sudo -i" "alsamixer" configure "alsactl store" [05:19] sooo owen1 .. x86_64 or i386? [05:19] StrangeCharm, thats stupid [05:19] Can anyone help me with this install: Trying to install Sphinx-0.9.8.1, [05:19] get a virus on ubuntu? huh? [05:19] I can get configure to go well [05:19] if I get a bunch of viruses, put them on my C: .. and then reboot.. nothing will happen [05:19] only infects if I execute them [05:20] Theres being secure. then theres being paranoid [05:20] a virus can only operate using stupid people [05:20] hello [05:20] Dr_Willis, and theres openBSD [05:20] :))) [05:20] with the CP command.. how does cp handle spaces in filename? [05:20] hi [05:20] Linux doesn't have viruses persay [05:20] haha.. nice joke. :) [05:20] selinux/apparmor/grsec/pax is just a showoff [05:20] coilette: you need to use fancy quoteing normally to get saces working right [05:20] hey all sounds nice. :) [05:20] example? [05:20] is openssh-server broken in jaunty? [05:20] nobody knows why ubuntu 9.04 + dell inspiron 15 = bad sound quality?? [05:21] whats the command to get a version of the program\package in ubuntu? [05:21] bumbblebee, google for it! you have to backport alsa and it will work! [05:21] coilette: cp foo 'foo with spaces' [05:21] coilette: avoide spaces in filenames... [05:21] dumont: apt-cache show pidgin [05:21] for example [05:21] edbroyle, nope [05:21] edbroyle: it isn't [05:21] shiki-, backport? [05:21] bumbblebee, DONT let me google that for you [05:21] i'm a complete n00b, so excuse my ignorance. [05:21] can anyone suggest an alternative to top and system monitor for finding a process that is using 100% CPU [05:22] just input those keywords into google, first few hit, read them, follow them. [05:22] bmoloney, htop ? [05:22] shiki-, i have already configured it on alsa [05:22] htop and ps [05:22] bumbblebee, ehhh...wait... [05:22] im doing a bulk file move, to make a playlist on my phone, using my old WMP playlist [05:22] this wont work [05:22] :))) [05:22] well..someone google it for him... I cant open a browser [05:22] (copying with full speed) [05:22] I can logon to it locally but it will not let me login remotely very wierd just keep getting permission denied [05:22] i'm installing from a livecd usb and when i do so, it stops at about 89 percent saying that it can't install additional packages from the cd [05:23] edbroyle, do you use the correct user ? -u foo for example? [05:23] shiki-: google it is not an acceptable answer in #ubuntu. please refrain from telling people to google [05:23] superfiedman, use unetbootin [05:23] user@foo.com [05:23] and then i try to boot the installation, and it tells me grub can't start [05:23] IdleOne, oh sorry. then people will never learn how to wrangle with problems :( [05:23] error 2. [05:23] or 22. [05:23] superfiedman, I told you. Unetbootin. Select Ubuntu and it'll install it on your pendrive. [05:23] it's already installed on the pendrive [05:24] or .. well.. you want that permanent home stuff? [05:24] i'm installing it to my hard drive from the pendrive [05:24] or ... just an installer ? [05:24] is what i'm saying. [05:24] how do i get rid of brltty and get FTDI ? [05:24] or trying to at least. [05:24] ah [05:24] 大家好? [05:24] well... I'd try unetbootin first anyway :/ [05:24] happy, Chinese? [05:24] happy, english? [05:24] 是的 [05:24] shiki-, i assume that you were talking to my pained namesake? [05:24] Help! ahhh, I have grub 1.96 installed in ubuntu and it will boot from the default path, but will only accept one keystroke then locks up with any more [05:24] hmm, htop shows 100% CPU but the total of all the processes CPU usage is not 100% [05:24] it seems japanese ..at least the first char [05:24] ubottu, cn [05:24] For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [05:24] !cn | happy [05:24] happy: please see above [05:25] bmoloney, screenshot please [05:25] ubottu, jp | happy [05:25] happy: 日本語の場合は #ubuntu-jp または #kubuntu-jp を参照して下さい [05:25] StrangeCharm, well..read back? :/ [05:25] (because I'm afraid I can't tell the difference between written Japanese & Chinese... [05:25] :)) [05:26] they are different? [05:26] well.. at least my guess was right it seems [05:26] hah.. OC :)) [05:26] is there any builtin encryption that can be done with vnc or is ssh -X needed? [05:26] no, no encryption in VNC [05:26] hanasaki: ssh tunnling is the normal wya [05:26] !vnc [05:26] VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [05:26] LucidGuy, ask in #grub [05:26] 有中国的人在吗? [05:26] argl [05:26] also i'm on a laptop, how do i disable that fucking nub [05:27] it's making my mouse act haywire. [05:27] huh? [05:27] well... please be more specific [05:27] !language | superfiedman [05:27] superfiedman: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [05:27] you know the little mousenub? [05:27] so ssh -X is what is needed and it all goes over port 22? [05:27] sorry, ubottu [05:27] lulbot [05:27] anyway [05:27] superfiedman, huuuh? [05:27] hanasaki, well.. I guess.. but try to use other port NOT 22 [05:27] that already gives a good 'defense' against attacks [05:28] trakpoint [05:28] aaaaah! [05:28] why? [05:28] usually they attack randomly the 22 port [05:28] shiki-: ssh connections are encrypted [05:28] I am having trouble playing back 1080p mkv files. I am using 9.04 64bit on a core i7 system with 6gb of ddr3 ram and an nvidia geforce 260 896mb video card. I cant figure out why the playback gets so choppy, any suggestions on what players to use? I am using VLC 1.0.1 right now. [05:28] oh also [05:28] lstarnes, I know. But pure VNC? Its not enc [05:28] shiki-: ah [05:28] eltew, use mplayer with vdpau [05:28] well..wait a second [05:28] shiki-: anything tunnelled over ssh is encrypted during tunneling [05:28] shiki-: what is the best way for a windows box to get to ssh over X + ssh and vnc? [05:28] yes [05:28] (oh geez..someone search it for him.. a vdpau mplayer on ppa..) [05:29] shiki-: i will give it a shot [05:29] i was just trying another install and it tells me the test of the file system with type ext2 in partition 2 etc etc found uncorrected errors. [05:29] lstarnes, indeed. if you DO use tunnel. [05:29] I was talking about pure vnc connectionss [05:29] how do i go about correcting those errors. [05:29] superfiedman, e2fsck --help [05:29] from the livecd you can fix them [05:29] (if they are _really_ just minor problems) [05:30] eltew, wait a minute..after my mc finishes, I'll give you the link... [05:30] eltew, do you know what is a PPA? [05:31] how can i indicate what i want it to filecheck from the terminal [05:31] shiki~: not really, i was reading about PPA's on the vlc website when i was trying to update from .9.9 to 1.0.1 [05:31] superfiedman, --help will show it to you [05:31] eltew, well.. wait [05:31] when I boot.. the console starts with one font that is readable and then early on switches to a different font that I cannot read. same resolution. how can I check and set these fonts? [05:31] think ppa is for MAC [05:32] edbroyle, LOL? [05:32] shiki-: ready and waiting. [05:32] its a Personal Package Archive [05:32] Nebraska #1 tomarrow! LOL! That's a joke! Probably get our but kicked in football. LOL! [05:32] edbroyle: you are thinking ppc [05:32] eltew, ... and my pc is burning the data..30 sec [05:32] aahhh yes [05:32] hanasaki: its set in one of the config files.. i looked into it once. But its been a while. [05:32] thnaks [05:32] Dr_Willis: under etc/init.d ? [05:32] hanasaki: i recall there being a wiki page or 2 on changeing the console fonts. and the wiki page for the 'terminus' font mentions how to change it also. [05:32] i am very much a linux n00b, i understand command lines but i don't see anything indicating what arguements to give it so i can indicate what partition i want it to check [05:32] shiki-: here is a screenshot of htop http://img168.imageshack.us/i/snapshot1z.png/ [05:33] hanasaki, nope. you have to set it in the sshd config [05:33] hanasaki: yea somewhere.. Im on 9.10 so it may not be the same now. [05:34] hanasaki: i got a /etc/default/console-setup :) but that may be 9.10 only [05:34] shiki-: sorry.. what has to be set in sshd config? [05:34] thanks Dr_Willis [05:35] ah... a /etc/default/console-setup FONTFACE [05:35] shiki-, this is bumblebee, ther are too many fixes [05:35] eltew, https://launchpad.net/~nvidia-vdpau/+archive/ppa this will do the job [05:35] shiki-: thank you [05:35] just click on "Read about installing" and "What is this" [05:35] seems like X is probably the offending process, but it stays around 9-13% CPU while the total CPU is listed as 100% [05:35] it'll tell you what / how to do it. (you'll have an up-to-date Nvidia driver, a new mplayer and smplayer). In SMplayer, select VDPAU at output. [05:35] thats all [05:35] HD with ~5% cpu [05:36] i start e2fsck and it just says pass1, and stops. [05:36] bmoloney, hmm.. sudo top ? [05:36] well.. hmm [05:36] Dr_Willis: you like terminus over fixed?> [05:36] well..wait.. :) [05:36] hanasaki: i toyed with them .. but i had issues with 'mc' on some of the fonts [05:36] im lost on reporting a bug on launchpad. Im not sure if it was submited or not [05:36] mc? [05:36] how to get my user name back, it the username already in use when i reconnected it [05:37] Dr_Willis: so what would you recommend?w hat do you use [05:37] hanasaki: i just leave the defaults normally === am4zin is now known as amazin [05:37] Dr_Willis: me too... this is a virtual box and the console just is hard to read in X when run [05:37] odd that it changes fonts shortly after boot.... [05:38] shiki-: both top and htop (with or without sudo) are showing the same thing, am I correct that X should not be taking even 10-15% CPU constantly [05:38] bmoloney, http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/how-do-i-find-out-linux-cpu-utilization.html [05:38] Dr_Willis: any idea how to check the current resolution and font for a running sytem and change it from the console too? [05:38] try to find the proccess with these [05:39] hanasaki: you are using virtualbox and the linux console IN virtualbox? [05:39] shiki-: i already am running the nivida 185 driver, should i upgrade to 190 or stick with 185 you think? [05:39] You're not hardcore, unless you live hardcore. [05:39] I am baffled I have added my user name to allowuser in sshd_config turned off usepam still nothing I can logon to ssh server locally but get permision denied remotely [05:39] eltew, well.. just use the ones in the ppa [05:39] if it wont suggest a new driver with apt-get upgrade , then use the 185 one [05:39] Dr_Willis: yes... ubuntu for the host. ubuntu for the guest. guest console is in the window under the host X from the vbox gui startup [05:39] I've got 185.18.36 atm [05:39] hanasaki: id just ssh in. :) [05:40] if I setup a VPN on my router with an ip of 192.168.3.1 can I access an ubuntu machine on my home network with an ip of 192.168.2.107 from the outside? does a VPN get me into my internal network or connect me remotely to a virtual network? [05:40] true. [05:40] is it easy to use a Cowon S9 (mp3 player) with Ubuntu? [05:40] superfiedman, first, sudo fdisk -l. Check which partition is the one you want to check. Then: sudo e2fsck -v /dev/..... [05:40] wow [05:40] !mp3players [05:40] Sorry, I don't know anything about mp3players [05:40] Royall, if it acts like a pendrive.. [05:40] !mp3 [05:40] i'm listening to Cascada with What About Me since 01:54 [05:40] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [05:40] there are apparently a lot of errors on my hard drive [05:41] superfiedman, are you sure the hdd is OK? :) [05:41] shiki-: so can I still be used? Like, if I just drag my music on it? [05:41] what command in nautilus or terminal can i do to see the latest jpgs added in the past 3 days on my computer? My problem is that I don't know where they went. [05:41] i guess? i did sudo e2fsck /sda/dev2 -y [05:41] and it's flying [05:41] Royall, if you can see it on xp like: F: or something. then sure. [05:41] if its a Sony, you can use "JSymphonic" .. uhm.. thats all [05:42] and you can manage your music (if you want to) with banshee, and such.. read the wiki [05:42] yellowrooster, dont you remember the filenames? [05:42] shiki-: something like P00001.jpg or P10000.jpg. generic filenames given by the camera. [05:42] superfiedman, hmm.. [05:43] like [05:43] flying. [05:43] yellowrooster, sudo updatedb , and then: locate -i 'P0001' [05:43] shiki-: I have tried top, htop, iotop, and gnome-system-monitor (and since my cpu is single core, mpstat seems pointless) they all tell me that my CPU is using 100% even though adding up the amounts for individual processes is nowhere near 100% [05:43] shiki-: but i don't remember the names. i just remember that they are JPG files that i moved from camera to computer within the past 3 days. [05:44] yellowrooster: the 'find' command can sort/locate based on date [05:44] superfiedman, delete the partition (from cfdisk). Create one.. also with cfdisk. And use "mkfs.ext3 -c /dev/sda2"..for example.. [05:44] shiki-: but X does seem to be using to much CPU (10-15%) when i am doing nothing [05:44] that should do a random write/read test.. and if it fails.. hdd [05:44] Dr_Willis: ok. what is the exact syntax that i should use? [05:44] mv ~/hdd /dev/null [05:44] yellowrooster: i would start with 'man find' :) i dont rember it off hand. [05:44] bmoloney, X will always show that much [05:44] anyboday havce a copy of leopard [05:45] Hi! What is the best video program to use on here to upload your pic & Videos off a JVC Digital movie camera?

[05:47] bucky: i just used nautilus, not gthumb [05:47] i really am a complete linux n00b. [05:47] shiki-: I noticed a nameless process popping up in gnome-system-monitor and it is constantly chaning PID, i think this could be related. Ever seen anything like that [05:47] there is a security policy on my comp [05:47] pascal_: quakelive works under Linux. [05:47] what arguements do i give cfdisk to delete the partition? [05:47] cause it's one of two. [05:47] hello r u thre [05:47] uhm.. sure.. on Ubuntu you can see some process like that.. what just eats cpu [05:47] thanks DR Willis [05:48] well.. they are maintaining and such..even if you dont want to :) [05:48] incase anyone is interested .. I have giving the toshiba nb200 netbook a good run for its money with ubuntu and overall Im not happy and will be returning it. [05:48] bmoloney. Probably a child process of whatever is hammering your load [05:48] (IE man, apt, and such) [05:48] na its newly formated [05:48] DR Willis: why is it hard to get wine to read DVD's [05:48] LucidGuy, whats wrong with it? [05:48] My evolution config got wiped; now it doesn't recognize any SSL cert as being valid and has no CA's installed. How do I fix this? [05:48] in ubuntu 64bit [05:48] pascal_: never noticed , never tried, never cared to try...

[05:48] rsouthard: do you know anyway to figure out the parent process? [05:49] liana, alt+f2: gksu nvidia-settings [05:49] Magilum : just reinstall from repo [05:49] hey can any 1 help me out [05:49] i tried all dvd codecs and still cannot get it lto work [05:49] and there you go, set it up. [05:49] does top show anything? [05:49] The_Bridge: That won't change my client's configuration, will it? [05:49] shiki-, I hate the sound quality of the speakers. The return key drives me nuts. And its way too much work to even get the speakers/sound to work in general. Ohh and the battery life is horrible. [05:49] anyone here can give me a hand installing World of Warcraft through download? [05:49] pascal_: You can play dvd movies in linux just fine. [05:49] shidesh, whats your problem?.. you said it shows up as a pendrive... [05:49] shiki brilliant [05:49] killafreak23, you can get it from the original site I guess [05:50] LucidGuy, why do you use Ubuntu on it in the first place?..ehhh [05:50] !dvd | pascal_ [05:50] pascal_: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [05:50] Magilum : it will detect [05:50] try other distro or just use Win or whatever works on it [05:50] I'm having a little bit of a problem... I can't get ubuntu to log in to my Mac OS X machine using file sharing. Ubuntu can see it, but it can never connect to it. Any advice? [05:50] if you can find the child process id you can run lsof | grep pid number [05:50] thanks ubottu [05:50] shiki that was the easiest multimonitor setup i've ever seen on linux! [05:50] yellowrooster, ls Pictures [05:50] shiki-, was that a serious question? [05:50] The_Bridge: What? my config is the faulty component, not the binary. Replacing that wont' help. [05:50] I run ubuntu 9, does anyone know of an open source app that will allow me to create .ico files for windows from images? [05:50] bucky ls pictures? [05:50] LucidGuy, of course [05:50] rsouthard: top, htop, and gnome-system-monitor show I am using 100% CPU but none of the process have very high load (and adding them all up does not come close to 100%) [05:50] why would I stick to something what doesnt work? [05:51] shiki-, because I prefer linux over windows [05:51] so?.. there are about ~1950 distro out there [05:51] yellowrooster, Pictures with a capital P that's a directory (folder) [05:51] anyone know of any circuit simulation programs for linux [05:51] Fedora works for example. At least worked on the lappy we tried (which had crappy sound with Ubuntu) [05:51] !info spice | pascal_ [05:51] or you can use OSS [05:51] yellowrooster, in your home directory [05:51] pascal_: Package spice does not exist in jaunty [05:51] same as pspice [05:51] what is your load showing in top? [05:51] Spice pascal_ in whatever name its called thesae days [05:51] shiki-, Do you honestly believe there is a distro out there that will properly support that netbooks hardware better then UNR? [05:51] !find spice [05:51] Found: gspiceui, easyspice [05:51] hello [05:51] !info easyspice [05:51] easyspice (source: easyspice): A graphical frontend to the Spice simulator. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 0.6.8-2 (jaunty), package size 65 kB, installed size 296 kB [05:51] LucidGuy, why not? [05:52] can any 1 help me [05:52] thanks Dr Willis [05:52] LucidGuy, even if there is no *buntu in the name, it should work [05:52] at least works for me.. so..yeah.. I guess.. [05:52] try OSS [05:52] do you want help with that? [05:52] shiki-, you have an nb200? [05:52] just something similar [05:52] bmoloney what is your load showing in top? [05:52] I have backporting alsa to that PC for a day..ehh [05:52] shiki-, huh? [05:53] LucidGuy, its a sound system like Alsa+Pulseaudio. JUst eats less, knows more, works better.. (just supports less hardware). [05:53] rsouthard: load average is at 2.60 right now [05:53] Well.. and its evil. Not GPL licensed and it was closed source :) [05:53] I think i've posted twice the same bug report. crap! =/ [05:54] bmoloney that is high but not terribly high. And you are saying your cpu is pegged at 100%? [05:54] shiki-, ..ohh thought you were refering to OSS as in a distro. I got all the hardware to work on the nb200 .. and yes you have to use OSS4 on it. [05:54] <_theWarrior> hi all ! [05:54] LucidGuy, ah.. so? whats wrong with sound now? OSS should work on it [05:54] hi [05:54] works on every pc I use.. I _love_ it :)) [05:54] Does anyone know what "Buffer I/O error on device sdb, logical block 0" means when I plug in an external hard drive? [05:54] hi _theWarrior [05:54] rsouthard: yeah everything is slow and both htop and gnome-system-monitor show it pegged at 100% [05:54] <_theWarrior> eli_: hi [05:54] shiki-, but then I went to karmic and performed the same steps to get oss up and running etc .. and urg never worked like intrepid or jaunty [05:54] Anybody here happening to run XBMC + Sony PS3 Bluetooth Remote Control? === subzero2000_ is now known as subzero2000 [05:55] LucidGuy, why would you use a not-yet-complete distro? [05:55] bmoloney did you say there was a process that have no info attached to it? [05:55] died even in VMware.. ehh.. its for devs. Beta is for curious/manly users [05:55] shiki-, I was hopeing that it would support the sound/wifi better then jaunty did without the annoying steps to patch. [05:56] rsouthard: yeah there is a process with no name that keeps changing PID (so i guess quitting and spawning) [05:56] Does anybody have a 1005HA or other Linux machine with an AR9285 card? [05:56] shiki-, do you have an nb200? and if so what os/distro do you have running on it? [05:56] LucidGuy, well.. in such cases, you should just try to use other distro. [05:56] rsouthard: all this started when i updated to 9.04 from 8.10 [05:56] I have a similar net/notebook with Fedora [05:57] next time it pops get the process id say 4344 for example and run: lsof | grep 4344 [05:57] Fedora11 i386+OSS .. to be precise [05:57] bucky: ls doesn't help, because i have subfolders in my pictures (small p) directory [05:57] (and one with Arch Linux) ... I just tend to use whatever works [05:57] rsouthard: i will try but it changes PID pretty quick [05:57] reported my bugs as duplicated. [05:57] gtg. cheers [05:57] shiki-, how similiar 100,200,2005? .. and did all the hardware work out of the box? [05:58] uhm.. the hardware in that machine are generally compatible with every distro [05:58] okay.. SUPPOSED TO BE [05:58] bmoloney did you do a dist upgrade or a clean install? [05:59] rsouthard: dist-upgrade :( [05:59] bmoloney i would highly recommend a fresh install. [05:59] dist upgrades can be tricky. [06:00] thats why should one use separate /home [06:00] rsouthard: yeah usually i do clean install but I was lazy this time [06:01] ok thanks rsouthard and shiki for taking the time to help me, I will try a little more google-fu and then do the clean install if I still can't figure it out [06:01] well.. finding such things is not easy at all [06:02] anyway.. good luck with your hunt [06:02] :) [06:02] ==be right back== [06:02] bmoloney use gparted to make a new partition, mount it as say /temp or something and copy your home directory to it the do a clean install. make sure you dont format your new part. [06:02] your welcome. [06:02] shiki-: let me know about flash plugin. it works for youtube but not for many other sites. [06:02] shiki-, i followed the procedure but make gives lot of errors [06:07] how to Know the root password [06:07] shidesh, how to.. well.. by default, you dont have one. [06:07] sudo su < to enter root ; sudo passwd root < to assign a pw to the root [06:08] ubottu, root [06:08] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [06:09] shiki-, there's no need for a root password in Ubuntu, in 99.99% of cases. [06:09] I know. but if someone wants it... [06:09] btw su this , su that.. I just use root pw :) [06:09] I need a netbook that has good Ubuntu support but also has a 6-cell battery. [06:10] Dell ? [06:10] HP Mini 1000, Veinor [06:10] shiki-, do read the Ubuntu RootSudo page - your method isn't encouraged and isn't needed. [06:11] sudo su - root will get you a root access with no password at all. [06:11] is it just me, or does ubottu sound like the matrix movie.... [06:11] rsouthard, Im aware of that. Anyway, anything with "sudo" freaks me out :) [06:12] rsouthard, beyond your own user PW for the sudo part, of course... [06:12] hello, does anybody know something about ubuntu 9.04/X server/gnome crashes? ; ( [06:12] once there just set a root password and be done with sudo [06:12] fonzi: ask the real question [06:12] rsouthard: hey finally figured it out since PID was high enough that i could use lsof with grep and use a wildcard for last couple digits [06:12] ejv, the bot is frequently the most rational thing in this channel, you know :) [06:12] mine doesnt ask me uncomment a users in visudo [06:12] I can't see some flash sites ( http://prezi.com/r74mlgijoov8/ ). i have adobe-flashplugin 10.0.32.18-1, flashplugin-installer 10.0.32.18ubuntu0.9.04.1 and flashplugin-nonfree 10.0.32.18ubuntu0.9.04.1. any clues? [06:13] lol Madpilot === onchoe is now known as Vina [06:13] rsouthard: it was vino-server so i shut that down and now everything is good. Thanks again! [06:13] bmoloney sweet [06:13] ok ejv, my amilo pro V2000 random crashes , i can enter via ssh and give command, but i can't use X anymore [06:13] rsouthard, excellent way to break Ubuntu's security model. Nicely done. Please don't encourage it in this channel. [06:13] bmoloney yes. it does not play well at all with jaunty had the same issue. [06:14] i tried to compile the last kernel release, same result [06:14] Madpilot why thank you. [06:14] rsouthard: sudo su - root asked me for my password [06:14] so [06:14] Hello [06:14] Hi everybody [06:15] i also tried to disable acpi, same result ; ( [06:16] Veinor, rsouthard has apparently gone to "all users have sudo without needing to enter passwords" on his Ubuntu install. Highly unrecommended, but if it breaks he can keep the pieces. [06:16] i don't know if im in the right channel but im looking for a good program that lets me use msn that even allows webcam connections [06:16] Ah. [06:17] Madpilot Why you got to be a dick. Was just suggesting it was a way to get root without sudo. [06:17] I read that a laggy shockwave player is normal! Is this correct? === VanDyke_drinking is now known as VanDyke [06:18] rsouthard, and I'm just pointing out that your suggestion is neither encouraged nor recommended, and is fairly obviously insecure... [06:18] ok so I ssh -X to a remote machine. how do I get its desktop on the local machine? [06:18] my ubuntu is not detecting my wireless pocket mouse [06:18] i put everyone in the sudoers group and have it set so it doesn't prompt for a pass, that's just me though ;) [06:18] Madpilot in your opinion, there are several ways to go about it. that is just one of them [06:19] Uplink: take it out of your pocket? [06:19] QPrime; ur not being helpful [06:19] Uplink: ok, sorry. usb? === nightski is now known as stoch [06:19] QPrime; yes sir [06:19] rsouthard, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo suggests it's more than merely my opinion [06:20] hmm [06:20] fresh batteries? ;) [06:20] can anyone help me to get a good program thats exactly like msn messenger for ubuntu? [06:20] anyone have a dell mini? [06:20] QPrime; yes sir [06:20] !puregnome [06:20] If you want to remove all !KDE packages, type « sudo apt-get remove kdelibs4c2 kdelibs5-data && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » into a !terminal [06:20] i'm trying to get some files from my cell phone onto my netbook with Jaunty and i'm having some difficculty [06:20] via Bluetooth that is [06:20] Uplink: any dmesg outout? [06:20] QPrime; doesnt even pick it up :[ [06:21] QPrime; works fine in windows [06:21] Uplink: make/model of mouse... [06:21] GhostWolfy, the two more likely to be similar to msn messenger are amsn and emesene [06:21] QPrime; one sec [06:21] Madpilot every other distro on the planet that is not a *buntu or variant of does it differently. [06:22] omg who cares [06:22] QPrime; Keningston 72214 [06:22] stop fighting lol [06:22] I can't see some flash sites ( http://prezi.com/r74mlgijoov8/ ). i have adobe-flashplugin 10.0.32.18-1, flashplugin-installer 10.0.32.18ubuntu0.9.04.1 and flashplugin-nonfree 10.0.32.18ubuntu0.9.04.1. any clues? [06:22] Uplink: ok one sec. [06:22] Hey, Is there a php5.2.10 packacge available for Ubuntu? and how can I find it / install it? [06:22] RoAkSoAx, i've tried to install aMSN but when i put my email and password and login to it, it just does nothing like looking to see if my email addy is correct [06:22] QPrime; Keningston 72214 PocketMouse Optical Wireless Mini [06:22] madpilot that is the canoncial way not not necessarily the right way. it just a safety feature so newbs wont brick their system and have a bad taste in their mouth about linux. [06:23] and so that bruteforce/dictionary attacks don't try the root account... ;) [06:23] im not a newb and i love sudo, so shhh [06:23] rsouthard, you're getting awfully close to trolling. Probably a good idea to stop before you check off too many boxes on your Troll Bingo card... [06:25] why didn't someone tell me there's a bingo card for that [06:25] * ejv blames Madpilot [06:25] i dont give a shit. just stating a fact that you cannot seem to get through your thick ass head.

[06:27] GhostWolfy, haven't tried using it with a webcam, but I know that the latest version in the next Ubuntu release will support webcams [06:27] RoAkSoAx, so its not supported for the 9.04 version of ubuntu? [06:28] GhostWolfy, I do not now for sure, I've been using 9.10 since early alpha3 [06:28] s/now/know [06:28] Uplink: mfcr supportsite seems broken... if you do a dmesg | grep HID you get nothing? [06:28] GhostWolfy, it is worth trying though! [06:29] RoAkSoAx, oh i didn't know that 9.10 came out yet [06:29] QPrime; let me try... I type "dmesg | grep HID" ??

It does not any networks when scanning for them. I wonder if I can use my macbook's wlan connection and sort of ping the other wlan card [06:33] shiki-, it did not work but [06:33] RoAkSoAx, should i install emesene from the website or from terminal?? [06:33] the quality of the output is not good [06:33] well..to be honest.. Im amazed by your skills.

[06:37] it was a file that i downloaded then had to change it to make it an executable file [06:38] GhostWolfy, was one of the steps of installing it "make install" ? [06:38] QPrime; 047d [06:38] RoAkSoAx, let me show you the link [06:38] of the website [06:38] Uplink: thats all it gives? should be another 2 octets [06:38] QPrime; want me to try on another usb slot?

[08:20] run it from a terminal, look for erro rmessages.. also you need to reboot after you install the nvidia drivers [08:20] You did reboot after installing the prop. drivers?

[08:25] hmmmm just wondering all, and i know this is going to be a stupid question, but does an ext3 file system require an MSDOS partition table for gparted to define the partitions [08:25] Zuk1, Acer, Asus, Samsung or what?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [08:26] Dell [08:26] Zuk1, screen resolution can be wrong because of wrong EDID record of monitor [08:26] i'm trying to get some files from my cell phone onto my netbook via bluetooth and i'm having some difficculty [08:26] no, the Screen Resolution app won't detect them [08:27] Zuk1: You may have to set them in xorg.conf [08:27] drygrain, you dont have a USB cord? [08:27] hi all [08:27] shadowmancer: a totally unparittioned disk needs some sort of 'parttion table' and 'msdos parittion table' is the standard.. so yes... [08:27] firecrotch: yep thought so, sorry for being stupid but i'm reading through forums and it mentioned something about it [08:27] Zuk1, look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log as firecrotch said [08:27] shadowmancer: gparted will ask to make one on a totally unpartitioned disk. [08:27] not that fits my phone zuk [08:27] Dr_Willis: ._. but won't that clear the entire memory === niekie_ is now known as niekie [08:27] ugh, i don't have any nvidia- commands [08:27] shadowmancer: and one rarely finds a totally unpartitioned disk :) If your disk is totally unpartitioned.. then theres nothing on it.. [08:27] Dr_Willis: sorry i mean hdd space [08:28] the .log revealed nothing, i have no clue what any of it means [08:28] shadowmancer: if you got a disk with stuff on it.. it should allready have a 'msdos partition table' [08:28] Zuk1: Pastebin it and we'll take a look at it [08:28] Dr_Willis: there is the catch [08:29] Dr_Willis: i can roam around it, upload, download, edit and even see the properties of my disk [08:29] Zuk1, try to look at this link http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=209474 [08:29] Dr_Willis: but when i go to repartition it to install a copy of ubuntu, it says its all free even though there is 260gb of stuff on it [08:30] Dr_Willis: I thought it was just the installer being slightly odd, so i ran gparted on my computer (making sure to use the latest) and same result [08:30] son of a bitch. pastebin just attacked me with popup, fullscreen ads [08:30] shadowmancer: be sure you are on the right disk with gparted.. thats about all i can say. could be some quirky bug with the way the partitions are laid out.

[08:33] (mom must have done something stupid, and i'm a KDE user so i don't know the process name of the gnome task manager) [08:33] Dr_Willis: done that already, and says something about my hdd not ending on Cylinder boundaries, as well as some parts of the partitions being non-linux and how my partitions have different physical and logical endings [08:33] right click on panel, add to panel. -> window list (i think estan ) [08:34] shadowmancer: sounds like the partition layout is so convulated that gparted is confused by it .. and to be safe. wont touch it. [08:34] hi [08:34] Zuk1, you resolution how is 1024x768 ? [08:34] Zuk1, you resolution now is 1024x768 ?

[08:36] look at link which I post above ^) [08:36] Dr_Willis: >.< thats a pleasure to know gparted is safe, i am just curious as to why i can access the data still, have no issues, have my disk usage analyser be able to do a full scan of it, as well as being able to upload more stuff onto it, and then tell me when i check its properties that its an ext3/ext4 partition [08:36] estan: ... err. right click on the existing panel.. :) logical place to put the setting eh? :) [08:37] Dr_Willis: ah, no not very logical i think ;) i would have expected right-clicking on the desktop or something, but thanks! [08:37] sorry, Goganchic, I missed it [08:37] shadowmancer: its just a confulated layout of partitions.. luckly you can still access all teh data.. You Might want to do some backups and reorganize the disk a bit [08:37] estan: but the desktop is the desktop .. not the panel. :) desktop prings up the desktop setting stuff...

[08:39] Dr_Willis: Now that is where the sickening irony sets it, i've been using the hdd as a backup hdd, and decided its high time to set myself up a file server, and thinking it would just be a simple matter of repartitioning my hdd i don't have any spares to put the data onto for a backup >., [08:39] shadowmancer: i learned a long time ago to just stick to simple partitioning layouts. :) [08:39] greetings [08:39] shadowmancer: i tend to use 4 primariy partitions and thats about it.. [08:41] Dr_Willis: Hahahaha, i sort of thought i'd stick to one, and decided to make this hdd partitions and stuff with gparted on dapper, and never used gparted with it after that till now [08:41] I Heart Ubuntu.

[08:46] kaddi: you can do apt-get dist-upgrade to install the update [08:47] firecrotch: yes. Can I get a list of what new package needs to be installed or why it isn't installing or do I have to force install first to see what will be installed [08:48] kaddi: apt-cache showpkg will show all the dependencies, and I believe it says which ones you already have installed [08:50] how do I all partition on the HDD [08:51] behappy: sudo fdisk -l will show you all the partitions available. [08:53] MenZa, I have removed all partition using fdisk but when I try to create a new one I get just 100Mb on that partition instead of 500Gb [08:54] behappy: Try using gparted.

I've previously used vnstat and a php front end but that doesn't allow me to view the current rates. [09:21] Jaxon: The progam nload can be used to display the current network usage, so in php you could do something like exec('nload'); === konata is now known as Guest37991 [09:23] firecrotch: hmm, could work, I was hoping for things with pretty graphs since some non-numbers inclined are going to be viewing them, but thanks for the tip. [09:24] Jaxon: have you tried etherape ? === Guest37991 is now known as konata971 [09:24] Jaxon: you could use image_magick to create a graph from the data that nload provides? [09:25] iwobbles: looks like an X application, I'll be running it on a server with only ssh/web access. [09:25] firecrotch, interresting... but i'm sure there is already a permission system pre established for network in ubuntu!? something like chmod for network...

[09:26] CaptainCrook: if it's traffic that only uses certain ports, I suppose that could work [09:27] firecrotch: a file dump/host mostly. The users want to see how much data transferred on a day/week/montly basis as well as the current transfer rates. === konata971 is now known as konata97115 [09:28] Jaxon: I found something... bwbar [09:28] Awesome [09:28] Love it [09:29] :) [09:29] Thanks.

[10:06] <_raven_> hi - is possible to convert projects to any linux-app (like rosegarden e.g.)? [10:06] vigo, i've had repositories enabled for a long time now, so restarting isn't the problem. I can't enable my ATI driver because it won't show up :( [10:06] Wildbat: Install compizconfig-settings-manager to enable things like Cube.

The disconnect is not at regular intervals, but each interval is no more than 15 minutes apart. I've already tried renaming ~/.purple in case it was an issue with my profile. No dice on that. Anybody have other ideas? [10:07] ___: What version of Pidgin is that? [10:07] only problem i have with compiz is, trying to use the rain feature makes my laptop reboot. [10:07] <___> grawity, the latest [10:07] Loafers: Is it enabled like that last page says? [10:07] ___: I was asking for the number. === trmanco is now known as Guest66237 [10:08] ___: there are different "the latest" depending on your ubuntu-version [10:08] ___: There are two "latest" versions - the one in Ubuntu repos, and the one on Pidgin website.

[10:08] so any good how to to update the wifi driver rt73 for jaunty ?? [10:08] <___> copy that, 2.4.1 [10:08] <___> grawity ^^ [10:08] ___: The _really_ latest one is 2.6.1, you should try grabbing that from Pidgin own repos. [10:08] grawity: there are more, ubuntu lts, ubuntu 8.10, 9.04, website [10:09] Loafers: Ok, is it installed from wget or the website that makes it? [10:09] vigo, thanks 4 helping, i give up [10:09] ___: http://pidgin.im/download/ubuntu/ has instructions on adding their repo - follow those, then do an update. [10:09] vigo, I don't know [10:11] vigo, hmm maybe thats why :D [10:11] <_raven_> hi - is possible to convert CUBASE projects to any linux-app (like rosegarden e.g.)? [10:11] vigo, I guess ubuntu no longer supported the driver [10:11] <___> grawity, downloading now, I'll run it and within 10 minutes we'll know whether the problem is resolved or not [10:11] Loafers: Yeah, sounds like a lsmod thing,,https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Loadable_Modules [10:13] Can anyone recommend a wallpaper setting utility that works properly with twinview? [10:13] I heart ubuntu [10:13] <___> grawity, it seems to not even be grabbing data from MSN's server, my account won't even connect [10:15] anyone good with wubi? [10:15] Best advice for WUBI is to avoide it. :() [10:15] @.@ [10:15] It's a nice idea though. [10:16] Yea - neat idea.. but so many issues.. [10:16] (But dual-boot with Windows is _very_ easy now.) [10:16] Or Virtualbox [10:16] <___> yeah grawity, not even connecting to MSN's server [10:16] unless Windows can work with ext2fs @v@; [10:16] vigo, Thank your for your help. Appreciate it. [10:16] ___: MSN works for me. server - messenger.hotmail.com:1863, the default. Maybe try toggling the HTTP mode? [10:16] |-Gobi-|: create a new user, 'nonet' or so, do "iptables -I OUTPUT -m owner --uid-owner nonet -j REJECT --reject-with imcp-net-unreachable" and run wine with sudo -u nonet wine (...) [10:17] Wildbat: How is ext2fs related to this? [10:17] So, in the last week, I've been having JavaScript problems in firefox-3 & Ubuntu 8.04. Tons of javascript errors make youtube not work. Works fine in Opera 10, and it used to work fine in ff-3. I searched for info on the issue on launchpad, but found nothing. Anyone here hear about this happening recently? [10:17] Wildbat: Both Wubi and normal dualboot are the same in the fact that Windows cannot read Ubuntu data. [10:17] Araneidae: I dont have any issues with wallpaper and twniview... clarify to the channel what you are trying todo. [10:17] <___> grawity, I'm guessing that it isn't pidgin [10:18] grawity: but you can't have window run on ext2fs ;p [10:18] can i connect to a VPN with ubuntu [10:18] Wildbat: So? [10:18] Jackiz: look in NetworkManager configuration [10:18] Dr_Willis, well, I'm actually running fluxbox, which uses fbsetbg (which uses Esetroot) to set the background. [10:18] Wildbat: There is still no difference between Wubi and non-Wubi. [10:18] Unfortunately, it doesn't understand that I have two heads on my setup [10:18] boohbah: where can i find it? [10:19] fmgnmb,jb [10:19] h [10:19] bg [10:19] and there doesn't seem to be any way to tell it so. [10:19] mg mh lnkj .

[10:19] Araneidae: you mean set a sepetrate wallpaper for each head? or what exactly? Perzonally i just make my own custome 'very wide' wallpapers of the proper sizes to cover both monitors with seperate 'images' [10:19] Guess they're normally integrated into the WM? [10:19] Yes, separate wallpaper for each head [10:19] grawity: hmmm lol ~ may be . what i want is have a bootable USB stick as well as usable in windows [10:20] xfce (and I guess gnome) have no problem doing that... [10:20] <___> grawity, tried changing the ~/.purple to a fresh profile, no dice [10:20] Araneidae: gnome does NOT have the feature to set a seperate wallpaper for each display. kde does. [10:20] ___: And did you try enabling HTTP mode in Pidgin account settings? [10:20] Oh, interesting. Pretty sure xfce does too [10:21] <___> grawity, yes, no change [10:21] boohbah: i dont understand.. [10:22] Dr_Willis, I have the impression that after running Esetroot my automatic screen turn-off on timeout has stopped, also! [10:23] !NetworkManager [10:23] networkmanager is an application to make (wireless) networking Just Work. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/NetworkManager [10:23] !.run [10:23] Sorry, I don't know anything about run [10:23] Jackiz: ^ ^ [10:23] <___> grawity, any ideas? [10:24] Hello, I cannot get my physical CD out of the tray, anyone know why? I tried both pushing the physical eject-button on my computer and I've tried pressing eject from Nautilus. [10:24] ___: You could try, for example, aMSN or Emesene or Empathy, and see if they work. === _c0ky is now known as c0ky [10:25] <___> grawity, I'm still on 8.04 might that be an issue? should I upgrade to 9.04? [10:25] anyone here use droidbattles? [10:26] ___: Upgrading is a good idea, but I doubt it could be related to this problem. [10:26] boohbah: when i click the network button, it gives me an option to configure VPN, but the "add" button is unclickable (gray) [10:26] <___> grawity, well, in 8 minutes I'll disappear for awhile while I upgrade anyway >.> if it is still not working, i'll be back. [10:26] Jackiz: have you installed the openvpn client? [10:26] no. [10:26] <___> I've been searching help sites for tickets on related matters and can't find anything, grawity [10:27] boohbah: how do i do that [10:27] Jackiz: Install the network-manager-openvpn package [10:28] ok [10:28] So, asking again: I've been having JavaScript problems in firefox-3 & Ubuntu 8.04. Tons of javascript errors make youtube not work. Works fine in Opera 10, and it used to work fine in ff-3. I searched for info on the issue on launchpad, but found nothing. Anyone here hear about this happening recently? [10:28] Jackiz: sudo apt-get install network-manager-openvpn [10:28] done [10:28] boohbah: done [10:29] Jackiz: is the button to add a vpn connection now clickable? you may need to restart NetworkManager, 'sudo /etc/init.d/NetworkManager restart' [10:30] yay its clickable :D [10:30] <___> Also, does anybody know if 9.04 supports nVidia drivers? I've had to keep my graphical settings on low because to get up there I need to enable nVidia which creates all sorts of problesm and doesn't let me use dual monitors [10:30] ___: yes it does,press alt+F2 > jockey [10:30] !nvidia > ___ [10:30] ___, please see my private message [10:31] [1;3D [10:31] boohbah: thanks! :D it is working now. just gotta figure out some settings now :) [10:31] ___: nvidia-drivers (free and non-free) are working fine with 9.04 also dual-view [10:31] !info jockey | __ [10:31] __: Package jockey does not exist in jaunty [10:31] !info jockey-gtk | ___ [10:31] ___: jockey-gtk (source: jockey): GNOME user interface and desktop integration for driver management.

[13:11] where does sshd keep it's log files? I'm trying to inspect a system crash which happened earlier tonight [13:11] bazhang, but the client isn't the issue, the issue is that my system cannot connect.

[13:14] Deepwaters, sorry no idea about msn; #pidgin has useful updates on their channel [13:14] kannan01: you dont need to defrag ext3 [13:14] kannan01: not sure you can defrag ext3 [13:14] only M$ filesystems like fat and ntfs need defrag [13:15] kannan01: ext3 is smart enough not to split files, also disk access is fragmented due to the nature of the OS so contiguous data isnt that great [13:15] Morning from the Eastcoast USA. I was wondering is there a list of unnecessary startup applications in GNOME? I noticed that there were several listed in the "startup" app that I certainly did not need such as a the "Printer Queue" or the "Blue Tooth" since I have neither ever. [13:16] kannan01: you can remove the journal so yuo have ext2 then defrag but it wont do much at all [13:16] actionparsnip:ext3 vs ext4 ..which one is best? [13:16] kannan01: there is no best [13:16] kannan01: each hs advantages and disadvantages [13:17] actionparsnip: ext3 is said to be more stable then ext4 do u kno y.. [13:17] kannan01: ext4 is default in karmic but early ext4 was a bit shakey with reports of data loss. [13:18] to prolly ask again, what was wrong? [13:18] kannan01: works fine here, your system may be different [13:18] sorry wrong window [13:18] actionparsnip: tnx... [13:20] Hmm, when I try to SSH to my ubuntu pc, it takes ages after asking for my user to prompt for my password. everything else goes really fast and all that, transfer speeds too, but it just takes like 15 seconds after asking for my user to ask for my pass [13:21] SinofEnvy: its the dns of your ssh clients host name [13:21] SinofEnvy: i hd this, if you add the name and IP of the client to /etc/hosts it will be instant [13:22] my system will not connect to the MSN messenger server, period, regardless of client.

[13:26] Deepwaters: possibly your provider playing with stuff [13:26] ActionParsnip, would I have to access my modem and specifically open that port? [13:26] krndrf: When the "Recovery mode" boots, you'll need to select the "root" option, enter the command I gave you, and then reboot. [13:26] Guest62681: Which solution? [13:26] Deepwaters: ping fails for me too [13:27] Deepwaters: but i am connected ok [13:27] grawity: to hack root account on ubuntu ...

If yuo are new to ubuntu then i recommend Jaunty [13:52] i can get the time (in the panel) to display my local time, but when i reboot, it goes back to UTC. any suggestions on how I can make my local time persistant (im using ubuntu w/ lxde) [13:52] <_PiLoT_> ihave a dell precision 650 with 2 x 2.8 ghz 2 gb ram and a fx 5700le card [13:52] <_PiLoT_> well im quite new [13:52] <_PiLoT_> ive only been using since 8.10 [13:52] _PiLoT_: thats probably more powerful than all my PCs put together [13:53] sidewinder1- what does GCJ standfor in GCJ flavor? [13:53] ActionParsnip, so the alpha would not upgrade to a final version of it's own accord? [13:53] innomen: yes it will upgrade seamlessly [13:53] ActionParsnip, how about jaunty, it will do the same when the time comes? [13:53] <_PiLoT_> actionparsnip : well i reckon it rated at about 6 or 7 ghz [13:53] <_PiLoT_> i do need more ram [13:53] innomen: you will need to use upgrade manager for that [13:54] _PiLoT_: get some, its cheap [13:54] _PiLoT_, then that is an easy decision - either continue with 8.10 or do 9.04 or go back to the LTS and get more familiar with the overall o/s and its innards from there - however using bleeding edge software cuts - and when it does you need to be fairly good at first aid or you will feel the pain [13:54] evilbuntu> Don't know, sorry [13:54] <_PiLoT_> but since i got that two monitors and surround sound for nothig i cant complain [13:54] ActionParsnip, just making sure it's possible heheh, if i enabled all the "bleeding edge" tick boxes in sources, would that carry me to karmic alpha? [13:54] installed UE 2.3 now can't access other partitions to create file (permission denied) also can't change permissions using chmod [13:54] innomen: oh absolutely [13:55] innomen: you'd still need to use the upgrade manager to jump release [13:55] <_PiLoT_> i got al that except bleeding edge software [13:55] evilbuntu http://gcc.gnu.org/java/ [13:55] ActionParsnip, i think i'll backup my home directory and try that, this mysterious lock up has me flummoxed [13:56] <_PiLoT_> i am planning on dualbooting [13:56] <_PiLoT_> win7 and ubuntu [13:56] _PiLoT_, you don't want to do bleeding edge software if you get frustrated by things breaking, if however you are comfortable with them breaking and / or can take the breakage then go to #ubuntu+1 [13:56] _PiLoT_, its easier dual booting if u insrtall windows first [13:56] ActionParsnip, i assume there's no way to roll back an upgrade other than to reinstall, is this correct? [13:56] innomen, there is no roll back [13:56] _PiLoT_: install xp first but leave unpartitioned space, if you dont use 100% of the space for the windows install you wont have to mess around with resizing [13:56] <_PiLoT_> i know mickster i found that out the hard way [13:56] innomen: you cant downgrade safetly [13:56] ompaul, i thought not, just checking :) [13:57] innomen: you can only climb [13:57] CptnAwesome: not familiar with lxde but in gnome i edited /etc/default/rcS so it says UTC=no [13:57] <_PiLoT_> i once re instaled xp and then lost grub but i fixed it [13:57] ActionParsnip, heh, or fall [13:57] <_PiLoT_> so i am fairly new but i also a quicklearner [13:57] <_PiLoT_> which is why im building laptops with ubutu on them at work [13:57] <_PiLoT_> im campaigning for it to be more recogniesed here [13:58] <_PiLoT_> since all i get when i say ubuntu to my neighbours [13:58] <_PiLoT_> is a huge luddite like stare [13:58] _PiLoT_, if you have any encrypted drives remove them before tinkering with install, i wiped out 350gbs of precious data once screwing around with ubuntu 6, stupid truecrypt [13:58] <_PiLoT_> lol ha ha [13:59] <_PiLoT_> nah my only worry is i have a home network were ive hared a drive [13:59] thanks legend2440 [13:59] <_PiLoT_> easy to do in win7 [13:59] Hola [13:59] Hi [13:59] _PiLoT_: easy in linux too, it can even be mounted as a folder ni your filesystem [13:59] <_PiLoT_> im just thinking if im dualbooting and also sharing a drive via netwrok im likely to get conflicts [13:59] <_PiLoT_> awesome [14:00] <_PiLoT_> im thinking ubuntu on a workstation will be fun??? [14:00] _PiLoT_, I thought you had it installed already [14:00] <_PiLoT_> oh no [14:00] ompaul: +1 [14:00] <_PiLoT_> i did one my old dell 2 ghz [14:00] i run ubuntu by itself and run xp in a virtual machine, i'm still new enough to the whole thing that its still a novelty to me [14:01] <_PiLoT_> then i upgradded to a better machine [14:01] <_PiLoT_> i tried jaunty but it hated my ati graphics card [14:01] "oh neat windows in a window! hahaah" [14:01] thats me [14:01] is there a way to statically set a FROM address in .mailrc? I cant't find it [14:01] intel gma x4500 + ubuntu = ? [14:01] anyone care to help me figure out why an old compaq presario 5410 wont boot with two hard disk yet if I replace the second hard disk with the CD-Rom it boots? [14:01] _PiLoT_, that is more discussion than a support item you might like to talk in #ubuntu-offtopic [14:02] <_PiLoT_> so i then "obtained" a new gfx card from work [14:02] can I get some help please? I can not access or make folders on a EXT4 partition (permission denied) chomod did not work. [14:02] Pirate_Hunter, check the jumper settings [14:02] dennda: if you get full upgrades it works fine according to: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Intel_GMA_X4500HD#Ubuntu_9.04 [14:03] Pirate_Hunter, they might both be set to master...:/ [14:03] <_PiLoT_> i was just making sure that ubuntu would work ok with hyperthreading [14:03] mickster04: hmmm I cant find any info on the jumper settings also ive tried changing the second hd from slave to master and nada [14:04] mickster04: if they were it should make a difference since they are both using different IDE i've replaced the CD-Rom for the second hd [14:04] no I created a swap, /, /home,/data allon same drive can not access /data [14:04] Pirate_Hunter, does it work if u change the two hdd's round an leave the cd rom in [14:04] dennda: http://webupd8.blogspot.com/2009/05/reverting-xorg-video-intel-driver-of.html can help too [14:04] _PiLoT_, I thought that was already established, hypertreading that is, it has been supported since at least Jan 03 [14:05] Hello, is someone here who knows why I have sound after login via gdm, but not after login with ssh? [14:05] Seems that gdm executes something after the login [14:05] Where to look? [14:05] <_PiLoT_> thanks ompaul [14:05] wandana, tell me - are you expecting a sound on login with ssh? [14:06] Hi ompaul [14:06] Well, I want to record sound [14:06] mickster04: I would try that if it wasn't for the case type the thing was built in such an enclosed space, I would have to remove a lot before i can remove the main hd, however, on my IBM the second hd does work so I know it is not the hd having failure [14:06] The funny thing is, after login via gdm, pulseaudio is linked to alsa === Downlink is now known as Uplink [14:06] what does that mean? Clocksource tsc unstable (delta = ... [14:07] But not when I login via ssh, nx or the usual text terminal [14:07] Pirate_Hunter, are u using 2.5 hdd? like the small ones? [14:07] In latter case pulseaudio links to null [14:07] wandana, do you want sound on each and every logon? [14:07] hi to all [14:08] Pirate_Hunter, do they have jumpre settings? [14:08] i see that just before several harddisk failures but just at that time when the clocksource stuff went wrong. what is going on? [14:08] anyone using UE 2.3? [14:08] wandana, ssh is designed to log in anywhere from on the console to the other end of the planet - so kicking off a sound would not be normal [14:09] ompaul: sorry, not directly sound. I want to be able to record. So, I set up a computer for video and sound recording. After login via ssh I want to start arecord to capture sound [14:09] wandana, some quick googling gave me this: http://razor.occams.info/blog/2009/02/11/pulseaudio-sound-forwarding-across-a-network/ -- basically... you're on your own on this one. sound forwarding is not default behaviour and probably won't be for years to come (basically until we can expect 90%+ of users to have the bandwidth for it...) [14:09] wandana, that would be a job for an application - so you need a console recording application - none come to mind straight away [14:10] hey everyone, i have a stupid problem with my X server in ubuntu: i tried recompiling the kernel with a script, and now every time i try to start ubuntu, the system hard freezes just before i get to the GDM login screen. it doesn't matter which kernel i choose at boot, it happens the same all the time. i think it's some kind of problem with graphics. [14:10] does anyone know what i should do about it? [14:10] wandana, or (assuming you are running X on localbox) ssh -X user@faraway audiocity [14:11] hey, I set up a cron job which isn't working. i did crontab -e and entered */10 * * * * /var/www/site/myscript.sh ----- i just put that on a new line, saved, and no good. help? [14:11] wandana, you can't run a recording app on a remote machine and have it record sound on a local one. things just don't work that way. the recording app needs access to the hardware to record stuff [14:11] run a wire from your headphone jack into the remote computer, or stream the audio to it, say with vlc [14:12] wandana, that is my two cents without hearing your question [14:12] ompaul, kahen: Sorry for the confusion! Of course the sound on the remote machine should be captured [14:12] mickster04: wouldn't know if they are 2.5 only that it connest through IDE and yes they have jumper setting, however, I dont think that is the problem. They are connected through different IDE, it might be something i messed up when partitioning the second hd will try repartitioning it again and see if it works [14:12] Hi istvan, loin via ssh and start acrecord ... [14:12] Pirate_Hunter, well good look, let me know if it works [14:13] Is easy [14:13] istvan, i presume chmod +x is done? if so it may be a problem with user priveleges? [14:13] But after login via ssh pulseaudio is linked to null [14:13] But when login via gdm, pulseaudio is liked to alsa [14:13] im so hungry [14:13] That is so strange [14:13] kahen, i can run the script (i'm in ubuntu server) with just ./script.sh [14:13] aux [14:13] But cannot be that difficult [14:14] I need help with the following: I use a Lenovo X200 with a built-in mobile modem. My SIM card is inside and I would like to receive and send sms on ubuntu. is there any tool (CLI, Gnome, KDE or anything) that can do this? [14:14] why are you so hungry.. go eat then.. :) [14:14] anyone that can point me to an answer regarding this? [14:14] I think the kuy question is, what gdm executes after login [14:14] Where would I find this? [14:14] istvan, is the user that owns the script the same as the owner of the files that it is trying to manipulate? [14:14] hi all [14:14] that script just runs 'php file.php' [14:15] hello there is there anyone that can tell me how to automount an ntfs partion at boot up [14:15] istvan, and is it in the same user's crontab? [14:15] !ntfs | smokebadger [14:15] wandanna for what do you need this about gdm [14:15] smokebadger: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [14:15] kahen, not sure, but I set up the cron as root - could that be the problem? === dani is now known as Guest8065 [14:15] how can I upgrade the kernel to v2.6.30 in Jaunty ? [14:15] kahen, on the other hand, I have been root almost the whole time [14:15] istvan, so you did crontab -e while logged in as root? [14:16] how do i change wallpapers in kubuntu ? [14:16] kahen, yes [14:16] kahen, i think the scripts are owned by root too [14:16] x404x: its in the preferances,, right click on the desktiop perhaps? [14:16] x404x: Right-click the desktp. [14:16] ok question time, when i boot up with my mic muted, skype wont work, untill i reboot with it unmuted, then its fine. so the question is; what services start when the mic is unmuted that dont otherwise, so i can start that manually when i want to use skype? [14:16] Hi voste, I have no audio capabilities after login via ssh, but I have them after login via gdm [14:16] x404x: right click, configure desktop... [14:16] voste: quite strange [14:17] kahen, was doing crontab as root the big nono? [14:17] re [14:17] is there anyway to use an 8.10 installer to install 9.04? the 9.04 livecd freezes after choosing install.. can i do any copy paste from one install cd to make a custom installer? [14:17] i just have an apperance settings and it doesnt work, if i install new pictures I cannot find them again [14:17] istvan, might be for security reasons, but i don't know about that. but it should work at least [14:17] kahen, that was my logic... as root it should be able to run those scripts... [14:18] how can I upgrade the kernel to v2.6.30 in Jaunty ? [14:18] I'm having a weird issue ever since I added a new hard drive to my system: I added a line in fstab to mount it automatically, but it doesn't mount to the proper folder (the system actually made a brand new folder with the wrong name, and now usually mounts it there). Running Ubuntu 8.04, both system HD and original filestorage HD are IDE, new Hd is SATA [14:18] hi everybody [14:18] how do I make text into a tk Canvas? [14:18] c45713: you will need to upgrade it once installed [14:18] anybody know how can i use notify-osd with open box ? [14:18] Insaan: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.30.5/ [14:18] Bad option -text for Tk::Widget [14:18] :-/ [14:19] istvan, well... sounds like a bug in your script then? does it do its thing when you start it manually? [14:19] yeah [14:19] but i found something else [14:19] ActionParsnip: so there is no hack i can do to make a custom cd? all the earlier releases worked perfectly,but 9.04 will not load the kernel... [14:19] Hi. I am going to buy a netbook. I am not sure what one I want. I love the smallness and lack of a CD drive with the extended battery. What I would like to know is this can I install Ubuntu to any of these and will I be able to do things like simple powerpoints, word-processing, and skype? [14:19] whileimhere: yes, those things should work on all netbooks [14:20] whileimhere, ubuntu has a list of compatible netbook for NR [14:20] for NR? [14:20] Boohbah, thanks, in what order to install the packages ? [14:20] Hi all. Where can I find a lits of what package versions a specific ubuntu release includes? Not the version I'm running, but 9.04 specifically. [14:20] whileimhere, Netbook Remix [14:20] oh okay [14:20] Thanks [14:20] whileimhere, NBR* netbook remix [14:20] cool [14:20] I will look at the site now. [14:20] c45713: you can customise the cd by remasteriong to upgrade that then install jaunty but you may as well just download the jaunty cd, or you can use the minimal iso to install from the web [14:20] Insaan: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130582 [14:20] whileimhere, otherwise ubuntu will work on most laptops with onlly a few problems:D [14:20] wileimhere : i am currently using an eee pc 1000H with ubuntu and all work fine... and there is so much docmuentaiton on the net... easy ! [14:20] id recoomend an msi wind or one of the rebadges , i have a medion akoya 1210 and it runs like a full pc [14:21] Hey guys, I just wanted to tell you that with some help from you guys, I'm running a ubuntu box with INTERNET! yaaay! [14:21] Insaan: scroll abot 40% the way down [14:21] Well I have a full laptop and a macbook that is dying on me. [14:21] Insaan: just need -headers and -image for your arch, order doesn't matter. install using 'dpkg -i kernel-version.deb' [14:21] ActionParsnip: oh yeah.. a minimal install like debian ... i'll check that out .. :D thanks [14:22] !yay | kamen [14:22] kamen: Glad you made it! :-) [14:22] How do I check which Hard Drives/partitions are labeled in /dev? (like which drives /dev/sda or /dev/sdc are?) [14:22] Hi, I have some problems with audio on my jaunty - it seems that some wrong driver is loaded - alsamixer shows just one controll column, my kernel is 2.6.28-15 [14:22] Crell http://packages.ubuntu.com/ [14:22] c45713: if you use it you wont have to upgrade as you will have installed from the repo [14:22] Boohbah, do I need linux-headers-2.6.30-02063005_2.6.30-02063005_all.deb or just linux-headers-2.6.30-02063005-generic_2.6.30-02063005_i386.deb ? [14:22] Crell I think that's what you're looking for... [14:22] Insaan: i386 only [14:22] thankyou =) [14:22] ActionParsnip: indeed.. my experience with changing repo is not that good.. always something is fucked ;) [14:22] hehe [14:22] I must say I'm very exited [14:23] excited [14:23] Insaan: if you add the repo it will come down with sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [14:23] Sidewinder1: Magnifique! That looks like what I need, thanks. [14:23] Crell You're more than welcome [14:23] Insaan: ActionParsnip's solution to install from the repo is more elegant [14:24] ActionParsnip, I want to upgrade on a machine with no internet connection [14:24] Hm. What the heck is this version number: 5.1.30really5.0.75-0ubuntu10: all [14:24] Insaan: ah [14:24] <_raven_> hi - do you know any pre-configured linux system for installation on cluster-nodes? [14:24] tehdave: it is numbered as on the master, slave and first, second .. on a bus, but I am not sure, try tldp (The linux documentation project book) [14:24] Insaan: http://www.ramoonus.nl/2009/06/10/linux-kernel-2-6-30-installation-guide-for-ubuntu-and-debian-linux/ [14:25] Insaan: it is possible witch some apt thing [14:25] lukas_, where do I find that? also: does it include how SATA drives are numbered? [14:25] thanks :-) [14:25] hi, trying to create an adhoc host, and following the guide on ubuntugeek that uses network manager. My psp cant seem to see this though, does the network manager method broadcast the ssid? [14:25] Insaan: those are the files and the guide you need [14:25] Insaan: read very carefully and go slow [14:26] tehdave: it is the most complete and free documentation, for its parts, try www.tldp.org, for the whole book, google something like tldp.pdf [14:26] OK, thanks :-) [14:26] tehdave: It contains many information also on sound, networking, parallel, serial ports ... [14:27] So no ideas for sond drivers? [14:27] sound [14:27] lukas_, thanks, I'll have to bookmark this and try to get through it somehow XD [14:28] tehdave: it is good source, maybe I could find it in some while, but the book should be more usefull for you [14:28] Anybody know whether an actual thinkpad sl500 with intel chip will work with ubuntu 9.04 fully updated and/or 9.10? [14:29] !laptop | dennda [14:29] dennda: Laptop support information can be found on http://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportMachinesLaptops - http://www.linux-laptop.net/ - http://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam - http://tuxmobil.org [14:29] Should I spend the money on a raid 5 config or just run 2 1T drives and backup just the most import files [14:29] dennda: you need to look at the hardware in the device to check compatibility [14:29] ActionParsnip: Sure [14:29] snuffy47: do you want raid, or backups? [14:30] well building media server with ubuntu and need to decide what hd setup to do [14:30] snuffy47: I've always preferred backups. if you accidentally delete a file you can get it back (and I dont do that much work in a week etc) [14:30] I'd go for backups, much safer imho [14:30] I'd go with backups on that then [14:30] I need to backup at min my family pics [14:30] and just rsync the whole lot over [14:30] hi. I previously mounted and unmounted an SD card successfully. now I plugged the card into the reader for a 2nd time and ubuntu does not recognize or mount the device. what could be the reason? has the previous unmounting somehow confused the OS? [14:30] how would u set it up [14:30] (rsync will just copy the changes) [14:30] so what is the next step in troubleshotting my non-functional crontab? [14:31] ex0c: ive seen some laptops/built in readers that only see sd cards if they are plugged in if the card is inserted when the machine powers up/boots [14:31] grsync rocks [14:31] snuffy47: I'd just have two 1TB drives === hey` is now known as grumete [14:31] I was going to rund R5 with 3 HD's and 1 spare [14:32] snuffy47: if it was me, I'd be using samsung green or whatever, and spin down the backup drive and unmount it after every backup [14:32] Dr_Willis: hmm, I think this can't be the problem in this case, since the first successful mount was done hours after the OS started. [14:32] ex0c: check dmesg command output.. see if anything shows up. [14:32] snuffy47: you could do two and two then, or take a hit on something (Eg dont backup movies or soemthing ) [14:33] well that would keep my cost down [14:33] from 500 to 200 [14:33] Dr_Willis: nothing at all. however, I can see the log entries of the first mount. [14:33] snuffy47: no bad thing, use the cash for a holiday [14:33] ActionParsnip: did try out the mini version now.. it actually loads the kernel.. but freezes after "ready" is prompted [14:33] so run 1TB and then use the other to back up. Is there a article on how to set this up in ubuntu server [14:33] c45713: did you md5 test the iso? [14:34] can do.. [14:34] c45713: why didnt you first, before burning? [14:34] ActionParsnip: k3b checked the integrity.. [14:35] c45713: did the hashes match? [14:35] !backup | snuffy47 [14:35] snuffy47: 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 [14:36] ActionParsnip: hashes match [14:36] What's the top-level package for the nvidia (ecch, ptui!) closed-source binary blob? "apt-cache" fails to enlighten me... [14:36] c45713: ok then try some boot options. Check MD5 hashes BEFORE burning to avoid issues [14:36] !bootoptions | c45713 [14:36] c45713: For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions [14:36] Zzeiss: nvidia-glx, maybe? [14:36] Zzeiss: what release are you using and which nvidia chip? [14:36] how can I tell why mysql won't start anymore? I'm getting a [fail] message from the init.d script [14:36] Hi, I'm quite new to ubuntu. I'm on a HP tx2000, I did all the fixes a while ago for the sound, but yesterday the sound stopped working. I have no idea what to do.. [14:37] hello all [14:37] whats the most common boot option error? which i should try out first? [14:37] Zzeiss: lsb_release -c will tell you the release [14:37] c45713: try many [14:37] brute force ;) [14:37] Action: I'm on Jaunty. [14:38] Zzeiss: and what does: sudo lshw -C display | grep product say? [14:38] ActionParsnip: and as to which nvidia card, I don't actually know.... but it did work back a year and a half ago, well enough to play Portal. [14:38] Zzeiss: sudo lshw -C display | grep product [14:38] Zzeiss: whats it output? [14:38] GEforce 7600 GS [14:39] i am having some sound related issues [14:39] can any one help [14:39] Zzeiss: nice, ok then: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-180 [14:39] ? [14:39] So it's a G70 [14:39] Does the SATA bus count as "earlier" hard drives for naming than IDE? so if I install a new SATA hard drive in my system, does it push my IDE drives back 1 letter? (from /dev/sda1 to /dev/sdb1 ?) [14:39] Is it possible to save files to the root without using the terminal? Can I modify my permissions to grant my user account the ability to write to root files? [14:39] tehdave: all drives are IDE [14:39] I'm also having some sound-issues. can anyone help? [14:40] ActionParsnip: "nvidia-glx-180 is already the newest version.:" [14:40] Yet startx can't find it. [14:40] krishnaprasad: fredrik_: can you guys say what your issues are? [14:40] yeshi: you can run: sudo -i or run gksudo nautilus [14:40] ActionParsnip, I mean, old style IDE (wide ribbon cables) vs SATA (narrow red cables) [14:40] danbhfive: yesterday my sound spontaniously stopped working [14:40] I'm on an HP tx2000, ive already done the fixes i could find on various forums [14:40] should I go with 2 WD green drives or 1 Black for storage and 1 green for back up? [14:41] tehdave: again, SATA have IDEs, SCSI drives have IDEs, you mean PATA (with the ribbon cables) [14:41] when ever i use pidgin. a cracking sound is comming... i can play the songs fine [14:41] !sound | fredrik_ [14:41] fredrik_: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [14:41] why is this happening [14:41] ? [14:41] Thank you [14:42] Zzeiss: sudo apt-get --purge remove nvidia*; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove; sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [14:42] ActionParsnip, yes, PATA...then I rephrase my question: is the SATA controller a lower numbered controller for drive naming? (I might be reading the TLDP wrong about how linux names drives...my question might not make sense) [14:42] Zzeiss: then restart X, then run: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-180 [14:42] tehdave: its just my thing, no ofence ;) [14:42] krishnaprasad> Couldn't you just disable sound in pigin? [14:42] ActionParsnip: Gotcha. Thanks. [14:42] ActionParsnip, none taken...question stands though XD [14:43] YES i tried it thats works but why only for pidgin it comes [14:43] ? [14:43] tehdave: so your drives are sdb and higher yet you have no sda? [14:43] Sidewinder1: k, ill try that [14:43] tehdave: or you want to move sda to be named sdb [14:44] where do i get monitor drivers for linux? [14:44] krishnaprasad> I don't know, sorry... [14:44] hello, can somebody help us in ubuntu sodu settings? [14:44] ActionParsnip, no, I have an SDA...but I think the drive I recently put in stole the name from my system drive...which would explain the weird mount issues i'm having [14:44] ok [14:44] irocksu: you dont, monitors dont need drivers [14:44] no issues [14:44] just wondering if that happens XD [14:44] i have a lenovo w500 and bought a display port -> dvi adapter [14:44] ok question time, when i boot up with my mic muted, skype wont work, untill i reboot with it unmuted, then its fine. so the question is; what services start when the mic is unmuted that dont otherwise, so i can start that manually when i want to use skype? [14:44] now it does not work with my monitor, but with other monitors its ok [14:45] the support line told me that i would need a monitor driver [14:45] mickster04: might be able to unmute it with 'alsamixer' in a terminal [14:45] irocksu: then you need to use settings that suit the monitor that doesnt work [14:45] <_Bart_> Hi, can someone tell me the name of the VNC server built-in in ubuntu ?? [14:45] ActionParsnip: it works on 1280x1024 but the monitor supports 1600x1200 [14:45] Hiya. (Lots of people in this room, wow) [14:45] Do you know of a graphical application that reports speeds of fans on my MB and CPU, and that lets met control them ? [14:45] I know there's lm-sensors, but I think it's not graphical. [14:46] _Bart_: freenx is good [14:46] it looks awful [14:46] _Bart_: vinagre, I think [14:46] _Bart_: it's a different protocol than VNC, but better [14:46] tehdave: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1141096 [14:46] _Bart_: there are vino and vinagre - one of them is the server, but I don't remember which [14:46] Boohbah, well i can unmute it using the gui interface available but that doesnt seem to work either, i mean the mic works but skype doesnt accept it:/ [14:46] irocksu: then you may need different xorg settings [14:46] <_Bart_> grawity, thanks :) [14:46] mickster04: restart skype? [14:47] ActionParsnip: any suggestions where to start searching? [14:47] spitzi: check xsensors, i dont know about fan control though [14:47] mickster04: leave mic unmuted always? [14:47] Boohbah, done that...it doesnt seem to notice:/ [14:47] ActionParsnip - thanks, will do. BTW, your nick is special. [14:48] Boohbah, lol fair play:/ [14:48] spitzi: its a harry hill joke [14:48] irocksu: sudo lshw -C display will tell you the video card, you can then websearch from that will get you startd, you may have to manually set the resolution and refresh in xorg.conf [14:48] That's 'cause he/shes special :-) [14:48] if i am installing another OS parallel to ubuntu, should the partition of that OS be flaged as boot too? [14:49] Does anybody know if with Wget i can get only the info without getting the HTML Tags from a Webpage? [14:49] ActionParsnip, awesome...looks like I just have to fix my fstab to reflect how my BIOS is naming the drives -_- ah well [14:49] tehdave: its a fix though :D [14:50] When buying a netbook how can I tell how much of a battery life it has if it does not state it directly? Is there a relation to the cell amount or anything? [14:50] tehdave: Have you already tried using UUID or LABEL, or did I miss something? [14:50] hello, we are tryin go to get wireless net to the laptop with new ubuntu, but we have to download a b43 driver, we did it but we are unable to copy or extract or move the files to the /lib/firmware folder, appearently we do not have rights to this, but the admin rights are set up correctly, an idea? [14:50] Does anybody know if with wget i can get only the info without getting the HTML Tags from a Web page? [14:50] whileimhere: more cells = longer life [14:51] yeah I was thinking that. [14:51] xvii69: You probably want lynx -dump (or w3m -dump) [14:51] ive managed to automount my shared partition but its also mounted my win xppro partition , when i try and alter it to unmount sda1 it says only root has permission to do this , any ideas what ive dne wrong [14:51] xvii69, what are you trying to do? [14:51] how do i identify myself in order to join #java? [14:51] Gravity, eh, I don't plan on swapping my hard drive configuration any time in the near future, so it's really not a problem...actually, if I use labels (read somewhere e2label is the command to label the partitions) in fstab, do the labels get put on the partitions before fstab gets read? so if I end up swapping disks around it won't mess up fstab? [14:51] a lot of my programmes don't have sound :( [14:52] There are just so many netbooks but only one listed at Best BUY!!!! [14:52] !register | evilbuntu [14:52] evilbuntu: Information about registering your nickname: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname . Registration help available in #freenode [14:52] and if i have two programmes that use sound open at the same time, only the first works [14:52] whileimhere: i'd read non-partial reviews [14:52] Another question, not necessarily Ubuntu-related: I currently have a single, 160G harddisk, partitioned for two OS's, Windows XP and Ubuntu. I'm planning to buy a new PC with newer harddisks. Do you know of an disk image application that allows me to copy my current HD to a new HD with higher capacity, so that I can *boot* from the copied HD just as I do with my current HD ? [14:52] how is dd any different than cp? [14:52] DD can strip bytes from partitions [14:52] spitzi: partimage, use it in live cd [14:52] acronis supports it [14:53] ActionParsnip, thanks again. [14:53] squidface, thanks [14:53] zopiac, I have the same issue between Amarok/Mozilla (both of them can access the sound at the same time) and an MMO running in Wine -_- [14:53] smokebadger - thanks, but I prefer a freeware [14:53] spitzi: the destinnation partition that you put the image onto once created must be the same size or bigger [14:53] wow so many questions and users here [14:53] Indeed. [14:54] ActionParsnip - can partimage create such a partition for me automatically ? [14:54] ActionParsnip: Well, if it's bigger, won [14:54] anybody can answer me in private please? [14:54] can anyone help me configure my wireless? its not being detected automatically... just wired [14:54] spitzi: no, you partition the disk then boot to live cd again and use partimage to spit the image onto tyhe partition [14:54] tehdave: yeah, the main problem I have is running UT2004 [14:54] hello, we are tryin go to get wireless net to the laptop with new ubuntu, but we have to download a b43 driver, we did it but we are unable to copy or extract or move the files to the /lib/firmware folder, appearently we do not have rights to this, but the admin rights are set up correctly, an idea? [14:54] ActionParsnip: if it's bigger, won't the extra sectors be unused, as they won't be in the "available" chain in the new copy? [14:54] Zzeiss: yuo got nvidia drivers now? [14:55] Zzeiss: no the space is just unallocated [14:55] ActionParsnip: Yeah, but Portal still doesn't run. :-( [14:55] Thya - does Ubuntu ask you for a password ? [14:55] yes [14:55] zopiac, I've yet to find a fix for it...I just resign myself to either listening to game sound or music, but not both XD but I can see where game sound would be important in UT [14:55] when? [14:55] well [14:55] Thya, how many users on the system? are you in the sudoers file? [14:55] Thya: are you using sudo? [14:55] ActionParsnip: Oh- true. If you copy a full partition, then yes. You will be able to put new partitions on the unused space. I thought you meant copying a partition onto a newer, larger partition without using mkfs of some flavor. [14:56] no sudoers giving us no permission error [14:56] Is "1GB DDR2, Shared Dual Channel Ram" decent in a netbook or should I look for something larger? [14:56] 1 user and a root in the system [14:56] whileimhere: sounds fine, i use a desktop with 1Gb ram works fine [14:56] Thya, unlike windows, you are not allowed to do everything as a normal user - this is dangerous - you have to use "sudo command" which will then prompt you for a password to carry out the task providing you have sudo rights [14:56] whileimhere: I'd suggest more memory. 2 GB at least. You'll be pleased. :) [14:56] ActionParsnip - so basically, I hook up my old HD and my new HD to the same motherboard, partition the new HD, then run PartImage and let it copy from the old HD to the new one ? And it will also copy the MBR and anything else needed to make the copied partition bootable ? [14:56] 1gb is standard on a netbook , if you use a wind the ram upgrade is very easy , i cant speak for the others [14:56] I do not see many netbooks with 2 gig but I will keep looking [14:56] hi ......my pidgin automatically closes [14:57] ive put a 2 gb stick and a 320 gb hdd in my acoya 1210(wind) [14:57] Thya Perhaps gksudo nautilus will accomplish what you need to do. [14:57] whileimhere, eeepc netbook and lenovo ideapad - both simple to upgrade the ram [14:57] ? [14:57] whileimhere, i know they come with 1... but it's not enough [14:57] whileimhere: Microsoft keeps them at 1g, fyi. They are allot more expensive with more than that [14:57] jake: where did you get one? [14:57] whileimhere: Oh, yeah. On a netbook they usually don't come with 2Gig. You might be ok with 1. But at least the upgrade is easy and only like $30 or so. [14:57] spitzi: you can do it that way i think, or you can make the image and save it to a dvd or the other hard drive on a seperate partition then use partimage to put the image onto the other partition [14:57] spitzi: look into it dude, its good fun [14:57] whileimhere, i purchased a 2 gb stick with each netbook i bought [14:58] hel dii [14:58] jake: I have a laptop with one gig and I love it. [14:58] Anyway... so I'm still not able to run Portal. :( [14:58] ActionParsnip - ok, thanks. My goal is to avoid first creating an image file and putting it to a dvd. It takes ages and a lot of space for a 160GB HD. [14:58] spitzi: dont you have seperate partition for /home? [14:59] good evening [14:59] gksudo mautilus gives EM: cannot open usershare directry [14:59] ActionParsnip - I do, but I also need to copy the XP partition. [14:59] Mornin' here, happy_ :-) [15:00] spitzi: you can do that too [15:00] is there a waiting time for getting registered? [15:00] Thya It's beyond me, sorry... [15:00] Zzeiss: http://www.fsckin.com/2007/10/15/how-to-run-team-fortress-2-half-life-2-hl2-ep-12-in-ubuntu-using-wine/ [15:01] is there some way to do video recording from tvtime so that I don't have to mess with this cheap VHS deck and burn DVDs? [15:01] ActionParsnip - read about PartImage, it seems to support only cloning through an image file ... [15:01] spitzi: hmm, bah [15:01] whats the name of ubuntu iso for installation over the internet? [15:01] 晚上好 [15:01] cant remember that one [15:01] Maleko: mini.iso [15:01] 晚上好 [15:01] or is there some other way to pull video from a capture card connected to a VCR and burn it to a DVD [15:01] no prob [15:01] yea. why its not listed on main ubuntu download page [15:02] anyone else in private?

While looking through the netbooks online I notice that some say "seashell" design. What is that? [15:10] whileimhere, this should be asked in ##hardware [15:10] I can speak chinese [15:10] whileimhere: that's a marketing word. Just look at the picture :D [15:10] evilbuntu, is it possible to uninstall the newer java in synaptic or using apt-get [15:10] Threetimes, if you need a GUI environment, there's always something like "xubuntu" that's a little lighter, or you can use the "server" configuration that has no GUI, and i am sure it will run fine [15:10] why could that be that skype for linux only works on gnome, and not other window managers ?

[15:43] pkkm: elivecd [15:43] pkkm: official or unofficial? :) [15:44] Yes Gnea, I imported my files from my portable hard drive and I did every song twice! [15:44] ...honestly, I have no clue why... [15:44] Ruien-> downloading a source using a regular user can be done, but installing it requires root priviledges [15:44] ForestBear: you might need to change settings in the bios [15:44] hermitcrabred: banshee looks like more trouble than it's worth.

[15:45] What would you use if u want to mange videos too (IPod Nano) [15:45] pkkm: 64mb Ugh.. - More ram would be a good idea. You may have to go to a Nonubuntu disrto to get that thing going decently well. [15:45] Macha-> you have a memory plugged into it? [15:45] linxeh: i've tried... [15:45] Macha: what happens when you put a card in it ? [15:45] pkkm, you probably want to look into something even lighter. like damn small linux or something [15:45] pkkm: puppy linux, Dam Small Linux, or perhaps Tiny Core Linux. [15:45] hermitcrabred: i usually use vlc or mplayer [15:45] pkkm: or openbsd or something [15:46] linxeh: like i've tried every combination of the acpi-related options [15:46] pkkm, do you _need_ a 2.6 kernel? [15:46] linxeh: Memory card plugged in. Nothing happens. [15:46] Macha: what appeared in messages/dmesg ?

[15:47] I want all ubuntu functionality 'for noobs' like all those graphical configurators with as light GUI as possible. [15:47] linxeh: How would I find that? [15:47] pkkm, then you would need more ram [15:47] fredrik_: ok, check edit->preferences->audio and make sure it's using ALSA and not pulseaudio [15:47] pkkm: Xubuntu (Ubuntu with Xfce instead of GNOME) claims to be light. [15:48] him im trying to put my card into ad-hoc mode, the iwconfig command to do this seems to work fine, but then the card is still listed as been in managed mode. anyone have any idea why this might be? [15:48] Macha: terminal, type "dmesg" [15:48] brk3: maybe your driver doesn't support ad-hoc mode. what card is it? [15:48] Boohbah: intel [15:48] pkkm: on 64mb of ram? not gonna happen, unless there's another one out there... [15:48] brk3: intel what?

[16:28] Gnea: any more ideas? :| [16:28] kpoman: when installing/configureing you proberly want to put it in /opt/ instead of the normal system.

But try searching for flashing information related to that model number. Probably your best bet I'd think.

[16:29] Dr_Willis: but see, I have 2 packages, the libgphoto2 and the gphoto2 ... how would I tell gphoto2 to use the new lib instead of the old one ?

[16:31] iDangerMouse: it usually just works... come on back and we'll try again [16:31] :D [16:31] Dr_Willis: maybe it is simpler ... is there a way to add those experimental repositories where one could get that 2.4.7 version ? then if everything breaks, uninstall that version and take away that repository ? [16:31] Oky Gnea its re booting [16:31] Mithran: I think I found it more like 50/50 it will either kill the board or actually work :s [16:32] fredrik_: not sure - okay: system->administration->users & groups unlock it, select your user, make sure all the group boxes are checked.

[17:08] after some intensive research, I'm eyeing at Songbird [17:08] shamm: songbird is promising but pretty new.. its labeled as an itunes replacement and it also is built off of firefox3 model which means it has a web browser and addon capabilities [17:08] http://getsongbirdcom [17:08] it says Guided - resize SCSI3 (0,0,0), partition #2 (sda) and used free space [17:09] but not partition number 1 [17:09] FlamingBob: #ubuntu+1 for karmic [17:09] WIGGMPk: hmm. plugin for firefox -- sounds nice! [17:09] shamm, the only thing songbird doesn't have is CD support, but its in my opinon the best audio player [17:09] shamm: no, not a plugin for firefox.. built off of firefox [17:09] !karmic > FlamingBob [17:09] FlamingBob, please see my private message [17:09] shamm: Songbird isn't a plugin, it's a standalone program -- but it, like Firefox, uses Gecko for its interface, and has some similarities.

[17:23] grawity: just now checked in pidgin faq, it seems pidgin supports xmpp/gtalk [17:23] cacey31: unfortunately that is one of the cards amd has stopped supporting. therefore, there are no proprietary fglrx drivers available. your only hope is to get the open source drivers to work.

[17:36] k so im going to have 5gb swap 80gb ext2.....and isnt there a 3rd type of partition when you use guided...i cant remember what it is [17:37] tony99: ext3 [17:37] I can not sign the code of conduct., something is wrong, please help !? [17:37] legend2440: thanks for the article. i was wondering since pysdm somehow manages to handle my fstab, which only contains uuid entries. so the wiki und forum info seems to be outdated? [17:37] ace_suares1, better ask on #launchpad [17:37] https://launchpad.net/codeofconduct, my key is there, I follow instructions, result: bad signature [17:37] fccf when you do guided it makes ext2,ext3, and swap? [17:38] joaopinto: okay [17:38] tony99: no ext3 is default, and swap is required ... ext2 is older and is becoming depricated everyday [17:38] Too many drinks last night. [17:39] fccf, as does ext3 ;) [17:39] ring0: yes i tried pysdm a while back. it worked pretty good. i like the way it cleans up the entries so they are all nice and neat [17:39] what happened to ext4?? [17:39] fccf so guided only makes 2 partitions [17:39] someone the other day reccomended using ext2 i think because its faster [17:40] tony99: yep [17:40] tony99: ext3 has a journal and that's the main reason to use it [17:40] legend2440: i like the cleanup too. plus the options are pretty easy to understand. [17:40] tony99: use ext3 .. it is stable journaled and reasonably fast, ext4 isn't ready yet [17:41] whats windows equivalent to swap space [17:41] tony99: I would prefer ext3 over ex2 anytiome for normal partitions like / and /home [17:41] hi, I got error "configure: error: curl-7.19.2 is required", can anyone tell me what is the package for it? I've already have libcurl-dev installed [17:41] maybe /boot can be ext2 [17:42] tony99, ext2 is faster than ext3 but nor reasonably faster than ext4 [17:42] clarezoe: do you have curl installed .. you might have the dev's but you need the binary's too [17:42] Just curious: anyone seen the Jaunty freezing problem and figured out a real fix?

[17:43] so what is jornaling [17:43] whats the torrent called to download windows vista [17:43] tony99: keeping a record of everything that happens accross time [17:43] thanks fccf , yeah, I have, when I apt-get it says "libcurl3 is already the newest version" === Husaini is now known as Guest57583 [17:43] !ot | kfan [17:43] kfan: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[17:44] clarezoe: uh, apt-get install curl ... it isn't installed by default [17:44] BillHarris: install Hardy === Guest57583 is now known as Husaini [17:45] does anyone know where i can download an epson cx4300 driver with ubuntu 9.04 [17:45] whats the advantag of journaling [17:45] cahippy: the ppd file from epson should install in ubuntu [17:45] fccf, OK, now curl is installed, but stillt he same error "curl-7.19.2 is required" [17:45] fccf: Install the LTS, right? I lose OO.o3, etc., right? Just curious. [17:45] tony99: linux equivalent for swap space are swap files and swap partitions, and journaling it's a technique for safe writing in a disk to overcome power failures [17:45] tony99, a journal is something like a safety net for your file system, it can help recover and correct errors after a crash and helps you keep overall data integrety [17:45] where the ppd [17:46] hi fccf [17:46] msn: rp-lds@hotmail.com [17:47] the open sorce database hasnt got the cx4300 [17:47] is it easier to install a dual boot with ubuntu and windows.... with ubuntu already installed or windows installed first [17:48] kfan: windows first [17:48] could maybe do the virtualisation [17:48] ! clone [17:48] To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [17:48] kfan: easier with windows first, then ubuntu [17:48] ok [17:48] it is possible the other way tho right? [17:48] so i guess most people here would reccomend ext3 [17:48] cahippy: http://www.avasys.jp/lx-bin2/linux_e/spc/DL1.do [17:49] kfan: yes, but you have to use a recovery disk [17:49] thanks [17:49] cahippy: extract the ppd from a windows driver [17:50] ta fccf [17:50] tony99, ext4 is a very stable file system. If you don't have any specific reason not to go with it, you should stick with that [17:51] dbjg [17:51] vcxfbv [17:51] chris|: please keep your opinions to yourself... ext4 is still experimental ... it may be default in karmic ... but it isn't mainstream yet [17:51] fccl, your definition of "mainstream" is very strange [17:52] !karmic | chris| [17:52] chris|: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 29th, 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [17:52] chris|: ext4 is not tested that good so you cant say its stable [17:52] chris|: i dont know a distribution which is using ext4 by default now (maybe fedora) === doman is now known as Bloodman [17:53] afternoon all [17:53] chris|: 300 systems running ext3 and none have crashed ... 100 systems running ext4 and 7 have crashed .... thats not stable [17:53] hi wildc4rd_ [17:53] fccl, where are those numbers from?

[17:57] aj_444: you can goto options in the login window .. select session GNOME ... this will bring you back to gnome [17:57] aj_444: good question. it wont hurt anything but may not be necessary [17:57] aj_444: i think to, because kde is using some apps, gnome is using too, so maybe kde is removing those apps which ubuntu-desktop will reinstall [17:57] iceroot: legend2440: Okay. === Like is now known as _oll_nigth_why_ [18:00] aha I see what you mean about songbird / firefox === hhlp_ is now known as hhlp [18:01] hello === _oll_nigth_why_ is now known as Ground [18:02] I'm trying to send my gpg key to keyserver.ubuntu.com but it fails from terminal, from seahorse, and the website says: "Error while decoding ascii-armored key: text terminated before reaching PGP public key header line" [18:02] JonJ: That keyserver is probably down.

[20:19] patch: **** Can't rename file /tmp/poeyGLrd to arch/arm/kernel/process.c : Permission denied [20:19] Aivaraz: archive manager can do multi-part archives, but they need to be named correctly [20:19] I have no idea whats wrong. [20:19] ubuntu1: its in the factoid ubottu gav, she is there so we dont have to repeat ourselves [20:19] lanzelloth, it SHOULD be sudo NetworkManager [20:19] hahahan, 'no such directory' but I have network-manager-gnome installed [20:19] trism, ok somth wrong with the archive then, thx [20:20] tyler: what you are doing is not supported by the ubuntu community, and this is not the place to ask [20:20] Guest36272: do you have write access to the file? [20:20] i installed emerald and changed it to emerald in compiz but the themes arent changing [20:20] Action: im using sudo. [20:20] tyler: that is for game servers, you know that right? [20:21] fccf: Yes. [20:21] lanzelloth, do a "sudo find /usr/sbin/ -iname network" and tell me what comes up :D [20:21] Guest36272: doesnt matter, if the file is marked as not writable then it wont [20:21] i am having trouble locating a kernel module... how would i go about searching for it? (vmsync) [20:21] nvm, that command was incomplete [20:21] Aivaraz: you may need to install rar/unrar too, I'm not sure archive manager recognizes rars by default [20:21] Action: What do I do then?. I tried chmod 777 on the .tar.gz [20:21] for the patch [20:21] Vovk: you could use: sudo find /usr/sbin/ -iname network | pastebinit [20:21] nothing. [20:21] lanzelloth, do a "sudo find /usr/sbin/ -iname *network*" and tell me what comes up :D [20:22] Guest36NEVER use 777 on ANYTHING [20:22] ActionParsnip, what an excellent idea [20:22] Vovk, /usr/sbin/NetworkManager [20:22] Is anybody in? [20:22] lanzelloth, so... it's installed [20:22] My ubuntu is void [20:23] mutou: anybody? as in the 1421 in the room? or someone special [20:23] Vovk, yea but... [20:23] lanzelloth, you got "no such directory"? [20:23] Guest36272: dont use 777 EVER, its massively unsecure, you may need to chmod a+w the file [20:23] !details | mutou [20:23] mutou: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [20:23] lanzelloth, what exactly are you typing? [20:23] Vovk, sudo NetworkManager doesn't do anything [20:23] ActionParsnip: Is there some way to edit the kernel then?. Just the settings. [20:23] ActionParsnip: without recompiling [20:23] !kernel | Guest36272 [20:23] Guest36272: The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages [20:23] Vovk, /etc/init.d/network-manager doesn't exist there's /etc/init.d/networking tho [20:23] lanzelloth, are you getting any error message? [20:23] Action: I read that. [20:24] lanzelloth, yeah, the network manager daemon doesn't run from /etc/init.d [20:24] Guest36272: what are you trying to change in the kernel? [20:24] fccf: I have 4GB (32bit CPU). I found a setting that could make it work, will try that now. http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=20861 <-- and it's booting. :) By the way, I am running an Ubuntu VM on Win7, too and Virtualbox was very uncooperative at the installation. (Would not work until I manually disabled all my network devices.) [20:24] Guest36272: i would read up on kernel compiles [20:24] Vovk, from Sudo NetworkManager no [20:24] lanzelloth, here's a question. which desktop environment have you got running [20:24] trism: Disable dynamic ticks and a few other things [20:24] this is imposible.. [20:24] Vovk, ubuntu 9.04 [20:24] Guest36272: yeah you'll need to recompile a kernel for that [20:24] snd-hda-intel model=3stack [20:24] lanzelloth, gnome? kde? xfce? [20:25] trism: is there a simple way to do this for ubuntu..? [20:25] probably gnome [20:25] lb_: what version of ubuntu? [20:25] Vovk, oh right, gnome [20:25] I know this will work, but where i should add it [20:25] Guest36272: is there not a kernel boot option for it? [20:25] fccf: jaunty server for VMs [20:25] Guest36272: I almost never build a kernel anymore, but I find it significantly easier to just grab a vanilla kernel from kernel.org instead of doing it the ubuntu way [20:25] mutou: /etc/modules [20:25] lanzelloth, so. you don't see the network manager applet at all? [20:25] Vovk, no [20:25] lanzelloth, and i'm guessing this is a fresh install, right? [20:25] trism: The issue is, I'm trying to follow this guide: http://wiki.fragaholics.de/index.php/EN:Linux_Kernel_Optimization [20:25] I'm following this step by step. Can someone please explain to be exactly WHERE my sources are downloaded? A realtive path like debian/config/i386/ simply isn't good enough. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile [20:26] Trism: and this happens to me: patch: **** Can't rename file /tmp/poeyGLrd to arch/arm/kernel/process.c : Permission denied [20:26] Vovk, no, I switched to wicd a while back and now I want to switch back [20:26] so i found the drivers for the net card. i put them on a usb. put the usb into the laptop with ubuntu. what do i do with the files? [20:26] lanzelloth, aah... [20:26] lanzelloth, any idea what you did to get rid of gnome-network-manager? [20:26] ubuntu1: you need to extract the file and read the readme [20:27] how would I install adobe reader to firefox in ubuntu 9.04 x64 [20:27] lb_: I am actually running a Hardy Desktop, and anything as a server I would run Hardy, unless there is a feature in Jaunty that is required Hardy would be a better choice, even then I would modify Hardy to make work, as opposed to using something as un-tested as Jaunty [20:27] Guest36272: you're probably building the kernel source in a place you don't have permissions, I usually build it in my home directory [20:27] Vovk, when I installed wicd apt-get removed it [20:27] I didn't work [20:27] Guest36272: and then copy the kernel bzImage to /boot when I'm ready to use it [20:27] how do i extract it? [20:27] Trism: Ah, thank you. [20:27] lanzelloth, i just found something. try "nm-applet" [20:27] Trism: Didn't realize that.. [20:28] lb_: did you know that there are free vm's available for Jaunty? [20:28] I did it before, but i just foget [20:28] Good evening. [20:28] Trism: Thank you [20:28] Vovk, :D hey that worked [20:28] Trism: I'll try now [20:28] lanzelloth, google is the best! :D [20:28] Guest36272: no problem, good luck [20:28] eklo: its in the medibyntu repo [20:28] !medibuntu | eklo [20:28] eklo: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [20:28] Vovk, it disappears when I close the terminal tho [20:28] fccf: I've run into "appliances". there might be one or two with jaunty amongst these, I guess [20:29] lanzelloth, if it's not starting on boot, make yourself a bash script with that one line in it, name it S99nm-applet and throw it into /etc/rc3.d (chmod it executable) [20:29] ooh [20:29] srry [20:29] lanzelloth, nm-applet& [20:29] ok i am reading the read me. but what do i do with the rar? [20:30] eklo: or: cd ~/; wget http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/unix/9.x/9.1.2/enu/AdbeRdr9.1.2-1_i486linux_enu.bin; chmod +x AdbeRdr9.1.2-1_i486linux_enu.bin; ./AdbeRdr9.1.2-1_i486linux_enu.bin [20:30] lb_: you obviously want to build your own "appliance" "toaster" "microwave" "automatic-shoe-shiner" whatever? [20:30] hey, I have a question, and would be indebted to you if you could help: one machine, fresh install, DHCP, all network interfaces work correctly... old machine, copied the /etc/network/interfaces (should also DHCP), EXACTLY the same hardware, but can't connect to internet [20:30] Vovk, roger that [20:30] 好无聊。 [20:30] lb_: you might get some better answers in #vbox as they support virtualbox there [20:30] so it's an linux/ubuntu problem, not a hardware issue [20:30] wee [20:30] !jp | colp_ [20:30] colp_: 日本語の場合は #ubuntu-jp または #kubuntu-jp を参照して下さい [20:30] thanks for the suggestion. [20:30] qq99 probably not the same hardware >.< [20:31] !zh | Colp_ [20:31] Vovk, it's just that wicd can't turn on/off my wireless card (laptop) [20:31] Colp_: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [20:31] they are, same settings in vbox :P === sylvain is now known as Guest81334 [20:31] lanzelloth, ok [20:31] so I know thatm my old machine has some incorrect network config somewhere [20:31] all the "commands" im supposed to make are done in the terminal window right? [20:31] Vovk, is there a way to do that from the terminal? [20:31] qq99 err, can you get it working statically? [20:31] ubuntu1, yea [20:31] nope, it used to be defined statically [20:31] I have just installed a new hard disk which was formated on a different comp, mounted it and everything except I ahvet got permission to right to it using chown root:[user] doesn't change anything, how can I go about gaining permission? === ubuntu_ is now known as vede [20:32] ubuntu1: yes [20:32] fccf: Thanks for the suggestion. I hope, that the virtual machine won't be an issue anymore of course :) [20:32] ifconfig only shows "lo" [20:32] Pirate_Hunter: ntfs ? [20:32] lanzelloth, i have no clue :( my laptop's got a keyboard button which automagically works with ubuntu ^_^ [20:32] ActionParsnip: do I have to use the bin, or can I use the deb [20:32] Pirate_Hunter, it's all set during the initial mounting [20:32] and if I do ifconfig \all, I get "all: error fetching interface information: Device not found" [20:32] eklo: Ubuntu is Debian-based, so the .deb should work... [20:32] eklo: use either [20:33] with the deb, it would have to be forced [20:33] Pirate_Hunter: if its ntfs/fat then you need to set permission on mount time.. [20:33] Vovk, oh ok, mine does too but sometimes it doesn't work (??) [20:33] qq99 first off, set your /etc/network/interfaces back to what it was before (i hope you made backups) [20:33] I just commented out the old settings [20:33] lanzelloth, i just rememeberd [20:33] lanzelloth, ifdown [20:33] lanzelloth, so for wlan0 [20:33] lanzelloth, ifdown wlan0 [20:34] lanzelloth, to bring it back, use ifup [20:34] simplexio, lanzelloth: no ive done the mount options myself manually though fstab that works however still no permission even with the suer option in fstab and it is ext3 [20:34] how do i extract the .rar file [20:34] I need help getting Java to work with Firefox. And... just getting Java. [20:34] Pirate_Hunter, pysdm is a gui manager for automounting devices on startup (it modifies fstab, so make a backup) [20:34] ubuntu1: rar x [20:34] qq99: get away from the /all thing it is ifconfig -a [20:34] vede, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [20:34] being the location? [20:34] ubuntu1: being the file to extract [20:34] /path/to/file [20:35] lanzelloth: sorry cli only no gui [20:35] "Couldn't find package ubuntu-restricted-extras. [20:35] " [20:35] !medibuntu | vede [20:35] vede: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [20:35] Pirate_Hunter: if its ext3 then it should just work... mount /dev/.... /point -o rw [20:36] it says the archive type is not supported [20:36] !info ubuntu-restricted-extras [20:36] ubuntu-restricted-extras (source: ubuntu-restricted-extras): Commonly used restricted packages. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 31 (jaunty), package size 4 kB, installed size 32 kB [20:36] Vovk, ok cool, will try that [20:36] vede, make sure you have all the canonical repos open. go to software sources and make sure that they're all checked. Alternatively, go to the add remove list and move the "canonical maintained applications" button to "All available applications" [20:36] ubuntu1: you need to install unrar [20:36] vede, then try again [20:36] ah ok, it does show eth1 when I do ifconfig -a [20:36] vede: make sure you have multiverse repos enabled in synaptic [20:36] but no internet connection [20:37] Pirate_Hunter, the defaults option has read and write [20:37] qq99, do you know the ip addy of your gateway? (probably 192.168.0.1) [20:37] vede: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin [20:37] Pirate_Hunter, i'm not familiar with suer will read man mount [20:37] vede: ubuntu-restricted-extras installs java too [20:37] !rar | ubuntu1 [20:37] ubuntu1: rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free [20:38] vede, and a whole bunch of other useful things [20:38] Vovk, 192.168.1.1 [20:38] ActionParsnip: I don't think it does anymore, at least on jaunty [20:39] Ah, yeah, add/remove applications seems to be working. [20:39] qq99, ifconfig eth1 192.168.1.XXX (where the XXX is any 3 digit number you choose) [20:40] qq99, srry sudo ifconfig eth1 192.168.1.XXX (where the XXX is any 3 digit number you choose) [20:40] qq99, then sudo route add default gw 192.168.1.1 [20:40] hi everyone [20:40] qq99 i just wanna see if you have ANY internet at all :D [20:40] simplexio: im trying to get fstab to mount it ithe options relatime,user,auto,noexex,rw the options user and rw should give me right permission [20:40] qq99 then we can play with dhcp [20:41] can i run the fill through winrar then put it on the flash back to the laptop? [20:41] ok that definitely worked [20:41] can you tell me please exactly how to disable acpi ?! thank you [20:41] I can now ping google [20:41] qq99 woot. so something is fishy with dhcp [20:41] Pirate_Hunter: that should be working [20:41] hey guys. does Ubuntu have any kind of command for encoding .srt subtitle files into the video they are designed for? i want to play the .avi on my ps3 but it cannot read .srt files. [20:41] but why doesn't it set-up correctly on start-up? my other working box stays at eth1, according to dmesg | grep eth it gets renamed to eth1 on the nonworking box [20:41] Will add/remove applications also auto-install the plugins and such for me? [20:41] How do I get what version of an app is installed? (installed using apt-get) [20:42] qq99, i really can't help you with that other than point you towards dhcp3d [20:42] !dhcp3d [20:42] Pirate_Hunter: isnt noexex = noexec ? [20:42] Sorry, I don't know anything about dhcp3d [20:42] bah [20:42] !dhcp3 [20:42] Sorry, I don't know anything about dhcp3 [20:42] !dhcp3 [20:42] rashed2020: apt-cache policy packagename [20:42] maybe a router setting? I had set up static leases [20:42] qq99, hmm... that might be it. [20:43] Pirate_Hunter: could be that 'user' causes it to mount on mounting user rights.. [20:43] qq99, but is everything else getting a dynamic addy? === lanzelloth is now known as Guest22636 === guest10923 is now known as lanzelloth [20:43] yeah [20:43] qq99, peculiar... well. I'm sorry, i can't help anymore :( [20:43] I noticed that I have a new MAC, so I updated that in the router static leasing [20:43] maybe someone can help me here, I got a computer that I need to set up, prob is no one knows the login/passwd, so i can get in, ive loooked on the net on how to crack it, but it keeps asking me for a root maintenance password [20:43] we'll see if that helps [20:43] Pirate_Hunter: usually when working with real linux fs, i just use 'relatime' option and i add partition to fstab. [20:44] hmmwhat: desktop? [20:44] can you tell me please exactly how to disable the acpi ?! [20:44] hmmwhat, if you've got physical access you can just pop in a live CD and format it [20:44] hmmwhat: There are two ways, changing the root password with a LiveCD, and changing it with init=/bin/sh [20:44] hmmwhat: grub, edit startup options and add single there [20:44] hmmwhat, OR [20:44] simplexio: The recovery mode already goes to 'single' [20:45] hmmwhat, use a live cd to get /etc/shadow . then rainbow table the thing :P [20:45] simplexio: yean noexec hmmm i got no relatime even if i remove the rest and try chown root:[user] it still doesn't change anything when i check with ls -l [20:45] simplexio: And that one asks for root password if one is set. [20:45] thanks Vovk, it must be some kind of init script improperly set [20:45] how to delete duplicate files in ubuntu [20:45] qq99, np. i hope you get it solved! [20:45] hacker, like what? [20:45] music [20:45] hy [20:45] grawity: good to know. so "allways" working way is add init=/bin/sh to boot line ? [20:46] simplexio: Yes, as long as the root partition is not encrypted. [20:46] hacker, aah... the problem there is that the names won't be exactly the same [20:46] simplexio: The LiveCD way should work too. [20:46] hmmwhat: Does the PC have some important data you need to copy? Or could you just reinstall the entire OS? [20:46] so wat do i do? [20:46] hacker, you could write a python script to run through and get the name of every file and add it to an array, and if the name is already in the array delete it... [20:46] hacker, BUT [20:47] i cnt do them 1-by-1 coz they're too much [20:47] grawity: I think he needs to reset the bios password .. battery removal [20:47] hacker, what i do is just delete dupes when i find them, otherwise i don't worry too much [20:47] hi guys [20:47] hello [20:47] please, i cant see my hd.. [20:47] fccf: He mentioned a "maintenance password" -- and this is what sulogin asks, in Recovery/singleuser mode. [20:47] and so, i cant install ubuntu [20:47] but can u write me a python script for that? [20:47] I need help adding another Device to my Xorg.Conf [20:47] the only ubuntu version that booted here was 6.06 [20:48] hacker, probably, it would take me a little while :) [20:48] Anyone here willing to help a noob? [20:48] grawity: liveCD ? chroot into existing system and manually editing passwd? or ?. i have used 'single' boot option once [20:48] like how long? [20:48] hacker, actually... thanks for the project. i'll work on it now ;) [20:48] Sammm, well first tell us the problem :) [20:48] Sammm, everyone is willing to help if they can [20:48] simplexio: Not necessarily chroot; just mount the HD and edit /mnt/etc/shadow or whatever :) [20:48] if anyone can help me, plz pm me [20:48] grawity: it is also what many bios's will ask for [20:48] hi everybody. i'm running ubuntu 9.04 with all the updates. I'm using intel 4965AGN wifi adapter. I've been having trouble connecting to the wireless. Network Manager applet just doesn't connect or it disconnects after a while if at all it connects. I dont see this issue usually when there are few access points available. But in areas where there are a lot of wireless networks I experience this problem. I think its related to this bug in the intel iwlagn d [20:48] river: http://bugzilla.intellinuxwireless.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1885 But I dont know if 9.04 incorporates this fix. I have already tried installing linux-backports-modules-jaunty package and it doesn't help. I'm running 2.6.28-15 kernel, Please HELP ME! This is a blocker for me. [20:48] Vovk, hacker, I think using a finished app is a better solution [20:49] when i tell it boot to shell, it asks for a maintenance password, ive tried editing kernel with some commands i found on the net [20:49] Vovk, hacker and the filenames are usually similar but not the same [20:49] fccf: That might be... but the "Give root password for maintenance" message is more familiar. [20:49] can i send you a pm with my email ad so u can send it wen u done? [20:49] hmmwhat: Does the PC have some important data you need to copy? Or could you just reinstall the entire OS? [20:49] I need help adding another Device to my Xorg.Conf, at the moment I have my PCI-E card in my xorg.conf as my primary display and i want to use my Onboard VGA as a secondary display, they are both geforce and both recognized by the 180 driver but I think i have to manually add my onboard into xorg since i dont see it in there and i cant use NVIDIA X server settings to detect the display i have hooked up to it [20:49] lanzelloth, yeah i know ;) but it does make a fun project [20:49] hi, policykit won't accept my password, so now I can't change my settings anymore, is there any way to reset the password or reset policykit? [20:49] Hello, can someone help me with a wireless network configuration issue? It was working fine, not sure what I did to break it. The "Network Connection:eth1" icon in the system tray shows a status of "disconnected" [20:49] logophobia: It's asking for your login password; try changing that. [20:50] hacker, to be honest, what i'm doing will only find exact dupes. you will really need to find another way [20:50] so I am one of those people who has an "older" ati video card so I am stuck at 8.10 and I was wondering if people here think it would be a good idea to compile my own 2,6,31 kernel because of the ati redeon support? [20:50] * grawity thinks hacker is a really good example on how a person can be totally different from the nick he uses. [20:50] grawity: I use the same password to login, but that password doesn't work for policykit [20:50] hacker, FOR INSTANCE the music player exaile can delete songs if you tell it to. so if you find them in your playlists you can select them to delete [20:50] hello.... i was doing an scp transfer of a folder with a BUNCH of data in it (~150GB) and the connection cut midway... is there any way I can resume the transfer without restarting everything? something like a `cp -u` parameter? [20:50] I need help adding another Device to my Xorg.Conf, at the moment I have my PCI-E card in my xorg.conf as my primary display and i want to use my Onboard VGA as a secondary display, they are both geforce and both recognized by the 180 driver but I think i have to manually add my onboard into xorg since i dont see it in there and i cant use NVIDIA X server settings to detect the display i have hooked up to it [20:50] hi..i need some help to create a bash-script... [20:50] i have to move many folders... the folder-stuctur is /home/user_xyz/profile [20:50] now i have to move the profile folder to /home/profiles/user_xyz (user_xyz is a placeholder for many user-accounts) [20:50] it would be perfect if the folder can move depends on the group-membership of this user (example: user_xyz is in group abc so his whole home-dir moves to /home/abc/user_xyz and profile to /home/abc/profiles/user_xyz) [20:50] hacker, that would make finding them easier since they would be grouped by artist [20:50] grawity> that was cold [20:50] Jan500: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [20:51] I have, lately, been having crazy slow DNS translation, I have been trying to configure various DNS servers via Network Manager, but no love. does the "prepend-domain-name-servers" line in "/etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf" supersede Network Manager and /etc/resolv.conf settings? [20:51] Well, i installed ubuntu without a password and when i try to install the updates it asks for a password and even when i press ok on the password nothing still installs. so i got to system then users and groups i set up a password then it then asks me for a password to authenticate the password [20:51] fiber: not that i know using only scp (but with little scrip yes), try use rsync instead [20:51] well im pretty somebody here knows how to assist me === axel is now known as Guest57696 [20:51] pretty sure* [20:51] fiber: You could use sshfs to mount it as a local system, and then use cp -u or whatever.

[20:52] Sammm, go to system/administration/users and groups [20:52] so im wondering, how do i reset my password [20:52] vovk thanks... [20:52] lol [20:52] grawity: hrm, that is an idea [20:52] fiber: rsync -avz -e ssh remoteuser@remotehost:/remote/dir /this/dir/ google gives me that line [20:52] fiber: yes, rsync usually goes over SSH. [20:52] I need help adding another Device to my Xorg.Conf [20:52] Sammm, click on your user name and go to Properties [20:52] raptorjesus> If no one answers in a few moments, you could always try http://ubuntuforums.org [20:52] I need help adding another Device to my Xorg.Conf, at the moment I have my PCI-E card in my xorg.conf as my primary display and i want to use my Onboard VGA as a secondary display, they are both geforce and both recognized by the 180 driver but I think i have to manually add my onboard into xorg since i dont see it in there and i cant use NVIDIA X server settings to detect the display i have hooked up to it [20:52] hacker, http://sourceforge.net/projects/mp3-duplicates/ looks good [20:52] simon__: grawity: awesome, thanks for your help guys.... I'll first try rsync then sshfs if that doesn't work! [20:52] Sammm, or open a terminal sudo passwd I believe [20:52] raptorjesus, dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [20:53] simplexio: aparently if I do chown root:[user] I get permission denied while chown [user]:root will allow me to create directories, why would that be? [20:53] raptorjesus, is your onboard video enaled in your BIOS settings? [20:53] Vovk: what is dpkg-reconfigure? [20:53] promet i will go check right now [20:53] hi everybody. i'm running ubuntu 9.04 with all the updates. I'm using intel 4965AGN wifi adapter. I've been having trouble connecting to the wireless. Network Manager applet just doesn't connect or it disconnects after a while if at all it connects. I dont see this issue usually when there are few access points available. But in areas where there are a lot of wireless networks I experience this problem. I think its related to this bug in the intel iwlagn d [20:53] river: http://bugzilla.intellinuxwireless.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1885 But I dont know if 9.04 incorporates this fix. I have already tried installing linux-backports-modules-jaunty package and it doesn't help. I'm running 2.6.28-15 kernel, Please HELP ME! This is a blocker for me. [20:53] raptorjesus, auto-magic configuration tool [20:53] no one for how to disable the ACPI ?! :( [20:53] Pirate_Hunter: The first one sets owner to 'root' and group to [user]. [20:53] last i checked i had dual display enabled [20:53] in BIOS [20:53] Pirate_Hunter: And a normal user cannot change owners. [20:53] brb [20:54] hi [20:54] basix: you could try install custom kernel and hope that bug is fixed in it.. lastest vanilla is 2.6.30.5 [20:54] Pirate_Hunter, depends on how you have the file chmodded. first one is user, second is group. if your file is chmodded 755 then group wouldn't be able to write [20:54] help im a newbie - i go to a dcc i recieve a rar file with a plain txt doc inside i just want to open it :( tried to extract it unrar it just when i extract its empty i dont understand what im doing [20:54] i just found a another way to do whta i want now [20:54] thanks anyway [20:55] raptor jesus you might also try "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" which tries to auto-adjust your xserver settings for current config [20:55] simplexio, is there no way to get this patch from elsewhere without resorting to compiling my own kernel? [20:55] 1rar | rgbargee> [20:55] You might want to Googlize that command a little and read the manpage first though [20:55] rgbargee, what are you extracting? [20:55] does anyone know of a way to run a script when the computer mutes/unmutes [20:55] !rar | rgbargee> [20:55] rgbargee>: rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft.

[20:57] Pirate_Hunter, 4 = read 2 = write 1 = execute. when you chmod, the first octet is the user, second is the group and third is everyone else [20:57] atm one but there was also days >20 [20:57] Pirate_Hunter, you add up the numbers to get permissions, so 750 means owner gets read/write/execute, group members get read/execute/ and everyone else can't do anything [20:58] Vovk so it would be soemthing like chmod 421 root:user /media/etc? [20:58] Pirate_Hunter, just remember when you chmod a folder, in order to "open" a folder you must be able to "execute" it [20:58] simplexio - wont accept the ( in the file [20:58] Pirate_Hunter, also, you gotta be able to read in order to execute i think ;) [20:58] Vovk: yep [20:58] Pirate_Hunter, it would be more like 755 [20:59] Pirate_Hunter, or if you don't want to worry about permissions AT ALL, 777 [20:59] Pirate_Hunter, that's dangerous tho >.< [21:00] Vovk, Pirate_Hunter: use +X for setting directory execution stuff [21:00] Flannel, you can also do that... for some reason, i like knowing the exact numbers... tho yeah, using +X will make sure you don [21:00] 't fubar anything [21:00] >.< that was supposed to be aimed at Pirate_Hunter === Hackwar1 is now known as Hackwar [21:01] rgbargee: unrar x 'file().rar' could work too , i usually just do unrar x *.rar === eeguy_ is now known as eeguy [21:02] Pirate_Hunter, so your entire command would be chown root: /file/path && chmod 750 /file/path [21:02] Vovk, Flannel, grawity: I am going to have to revise chmod again the only time I looked at it was when I moved into linux. This time things should go smoother [21:02] Guys I have a big problem. I was updateing ubuntu, and for some reasons, the pc rebooted. Now I can't log in as it freezes. Is there a safe mode to repair?

[21:13] you were missing a backslash xd [21:13] trism i am currently connected via wired coneection, but when I booted without the ethernet cable plugged in, the "wireless" icon kept circling continuously (i.e. it was trying to connect) and it kept repeatedly asking me for the network key, which I kept giving it to no effect [21:13] rgbargee: or just quote it, unrar x "vps.2009-09-04's(1830's).rar" [21:13] but with tab-completiiotn you'll do fine [21:14] q?

[21:16] russ, or wicd is a good alternative [21:16] russ: you can try to connect manually before you set anything up using iwconfig if you use no encryption or the useless wep or use wpa_supplicant to connect using wpa encryption [21:16] how do I install this: http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/glassy+panels?content=62389 [21:16] tried tab completion unrar ran but failed doh!

[21:25] russ: you could add -v to that to see what it's doing, then do an ifup to bring it back [21:25] russ, i've never used ifup/ifdown so you might wanna read up on the man pages [21:25] hi.. can I install and run KDE on ubuntu 9.04 ? [21:25] lanzelloth, yes I did, but no luck - the interface shows no ip address assigned [21:25] any people here with ps3/linux experience?

[21:26] lanzelloth, trism according to the manpage "ifdown eth1" is just shorthand for "ifconfig eth1 down" === mac9416 is now known as macBBL [21:27] bastid_raZor, and I need to choose KDE everytime I restart my computer ?

Nice to see you here again [21:38] lucarg: remove the ldsys.??? file i think from the pendrive [21:38] Trism: I'm supposed to copy over the vmlinux correct? [21:38] tyler_: better way to compile new kernel is google kernel ubuntu way, select first link.. it show howto make .deb from new kernel, then install it by dpkg -i file.deb [21:38] failed is at http://paste.ubuntu.com/265758/ [21:38] Dr_Willis: ive format it but cant delete syslinux [21:38] tyler_: I wouldn't overwrite a working kernel [21:39] am I able to run apache & php on an old compaq presario 5410 with around or less than 128mb runing a minimal install of ubuntu? [21:39] Trism: I customized the kernel, so I probably have to. But I haven't really done this before either.. [21:39] hi there is there a package for jack2 ? [21:39] Pirate_Hunter: yes.. [21:39] tyler_: you don't have to, just create a new entry in grub [21:39] n8, that manual is about keyboard mapping, I saw word zero about left handed mice [21:39] I've already looked up all the documentations and workarounds and the one that looks to be the best at the moment is to set the fan to a constant speed instead of letting it work automatically, but none of the methods I've found for doing that seem to be applicable to my particular setup. [21:39] simplexio, master file table [21:39] tyler_: copy the current entry but replace the kernel with the new kernel you want to boot [21:39] n8tuser: sorry, see above [21:39] lucarg: Hmmm.. see what files are on the thing still.. syslinux is just like 2 files on the flash drives that ive seen. [21:40] jiohdi-> what? [21:40] dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX bs=512 count=1 this is what i was looking for thanks [21:40] n8tuser: that manual is about keyboard mapping, I saw word zero about left handed mice [21:40] simplexio: oh ok will i am guessin that it will be slow still [21:40] lucarg: thats a little extreme.. but if it works. :) [21:40] Trism: the issue is there is no bzimage in the boot directory.

[22:17] A CHINGA [22:17] gracias [22:18] Lyra, i know there is some stuff related to fan and more usally tied to the sort of notbook you use, on kernel .. hence i suggest tohave a look at modules you may already have on /lib/modules or the kernel itself [22:18] hii everybody, how can i figure out which device a hdd uses (sda, sda1 and so on...)??

[22:21] como le hago para conectarme a ubuntu-es [22:21] to actually actively develop on a project, you probably need to find it's specific page and development branch code [22:21] bro: that is not the path to the deluge executible [22:21] Dr_Willis, so it says, but i'm fuzzy on it's usage [22:21] chaos2fu, both... sda / is the drive sda1 is the partition [22:21] Dr_Willis, I'm reading [22:21] trism: tell me when your back [22:21] bro: that path is the path to the desktop file.. not the path to the executable.

[22:26] still no such device [22:26] trism: alright, thanks. ill try it [22:27] ...Is there a command u can run on terminal to check MDsums?

I appear to be running 8.04 LTS on this system and would like to upgrade to 9.04 or so. [22:34] Guest79755: remove /boot from the kernel line [22:34] fccf: The thing is, when I install from a PPA or something and then make my build of ffmpeg with it, the quality comes out awful, and recordMyDesktop takes forever to encode and also looks awful [22:34] trism: I did. [22:34] trism: should I try it with boot...? [22:34] unkmar: why? [22:34] trism: I saw that to so I removed boot from the line. [22:34] unkmar: easier and better really to wait untill 9.10 released at the end of October, and then clean install [22:35] russ: you can configure a wireless interface with iwconfig on the command line if you're using wep, I would try that out [22:35] E-WolfShade: you will also need the latest of ffmpeg so it talks with libtheora [22:35] innomen: unlike some chicken linux apps dont yell "hey I did what I was told to do...." [22:35] guntbert, i did, i jsust didnt see where it completed without an error, i am still learnign what "mount" means [22:35] russ: man iwconfig [22:35] fccf: But when I purged libtheora0 and compiled it myself from source and did 'make install', it came out fantastic [22:35] innomen: :-) [22:35] ffm all on [22:35] sebsebseb: Twinview is stretching maximized windows across both screans. [22:35] fccf: I build from SVN [22:35] russ: and then use dhclient to get an address with dhcp [22:35] do any of you use Deluge torrent deamon ? I use it, but i frequently have to start the deamon at least once a day because it crashes at least once a day [22:35] unkmar: I think I have heard of Twinview before, but don't know what it is [22:35] Guest79755: not sure what to say, what error is grub giving you? [22:35] guntbert, i'm a fan of those messages "operation completed successfully" rocks [22:35] :) [22:36] trism: No idea, im doing this with VM so unless its logging the errors..? [22:36] sebsebseb: Twinview is Nvidia method of dual-screens. [22:36] trism: usually I wouldn't but I have my server elsewhere in my house. [22:36] trism: and only one keyboard and mouse set [22:36] fccf: I make an updated SVN build of ffmpeg every week or so [22:36] E-WolfShade: ok... then it is unsupported ... the packaging guy's name is 'mvo' and is sometimes in this channel, and usually always somewhere on the network [22:36] trism the /etc/network/interfaces file says: "iface eth1 inet dhcp", then "wireless-key ", then "wireless-essid ", then "auto eth1" - does that look about right? [22:36] sp0 you can look on inittab to run your Deluge application so that it will be relaunched each time it crashes [22:36] trism I will go read that man page now, thanks [22:36] sp0 man inittab [22:36] unkmar: maybe 8.10 will help since it has a quite different from 8.04 version of xorg [22:36] innomen: on linux command line its usually so : "no news is good news", they tell you when something bad happened [22:37] fccf: Yes, but why did it work great when I compiled it myself and then built ffmpeg, but not when I install a DEB? [22:37] E-WolfShade: read about ubuntu packaging, or attend a packaging meeting in #ubuntu-meeting which happens periodically [22:37] guntbert, indeed, just expressing my preffrence :) [22:38] russ: that looks pretty close, been a while since I used wep though [22:38] fccf: I'm reading the Ubuntu packing guide atm [22:38] unkmar: To upgrade is done in steps, what sebsebseb is saying makes sense, is like 5>6>7>8 not 5>8 [22:38] Guest79755: how do you know that it isn't working then, does it just not boot? [22:38] How do I make windows transparent in GNOME? [22:38] im an uber noob and i need lots of help. [22:38] trism: uname -a reports a different version number - the generic kernel on the list. [22:39] unkmar: yeah that's something else, you can't upgrade directly from 8.04 to 9.04 [22:39] i have an acer aspire 5516. wired connection doesnt work and wirless does. [22:40] ubuntu1, find a book titled, "you're ok, I'm ok." [22:40] unkmar: and in certain ways 8.10 is better really :) [22:40] Guest79755: what kernel source did you download? [22:40] i need a good simpe p2p prog [22:40] ubuntu1: Sounds like a hardware issue, bad cable, port or dirt.

[22:43] unkmar: so that's why I suggest staying with 8.10 for now, plus there is a chance of an upgrade going wrong, losing Internet or something that kind of thing [22:43] !p2p > nation [22:43] nation, please see my private message [22:43] !upgrade | unkmar [22:43] unkmar: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [22:43] nation: gFTP does fine for connecting to ftp servers [22:43] i want to host files [22:44] Guest79755: it is probably the correct kernel, but you didn't change the version string in one of the files in the kernel source folder [22:44] thought a p2p would be easyer [22:44] Hi.. If I have Win in one partition and ubuntu in the other.. If I reinstall windows, grub wont work anymore.. right? how do I reinstall grub?

[22:50] okay is the ati x1600 graphics card compatible with ubuntu 8.1 because it is incompatible with jaunty jackalope [22:50] Thanks vigo, there is good info but I just cannot get to make it...I`m new to this [22:50] !ait | cacey31 [22:50] Sorry, I don't know anything about ait [22:50] !ati | cacey31 [22:50] cacey31: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [22:50] thats right bastid_raZor [22:50] trism I'm at a loss. iwconfig reports eth1 is 802.11g, essid is correct, but link quality, signal level, and noise level are all zero [22:50] fccf, well how do i know what it calls itself? and how do i use it if it's hijacked the screen? [22:50] sebsebseb, i see. it is a very thin line. that is understandble to keep the channel friendly, but people may not like to be treated as children.

[22:52] russ: and then you need to get an ip address with dhclient eth1 [22:53] innomen: yes, there is [22:53] hermitcrabred: Yes, is like most anything, a transition can be as hard or as easy as you want it to be, get that printer spooling out all the man pages and whatnot. Is all fun. [22:53] haunter250: well yes 9.04 is bad for Intel graphics cards [22:53] haunter250: what is your actsaul problem by the way? [22:53] guntbert, and what would that be? [22:53] innomen: there is an applet that kills misbehaved windows [22:54] xbmc flickers ocassionally and flash games also flicker [22:54] hermitcrabred: https://help.ubuntu.com/community [22:54] innomen: its called "force quit button" [22:54] I see I can check the disc but it ask for a folder to do so....(right clicck on disc, check disc and so on...

[22:54] sebsebseb, sure! i just dont like good communities like this to end up with a "good intention gone bad" issue. you seem to know what you are doing. sorry to bother [22:55] like back in the day in win98 ifsomething was being crazy i could cntrl alt del, tab tab, spacebar and that would kill whatever i had been focused on [22:55] ulaas_: if you want to talk about swearing in this channal, freel free to join #ubuntu-ops to talk about that, and by the way I am not an op [22:55] http://pastebin.com/m405cd60a [22:55] innomen: if you don't get the panel - no, but you can always go to the command line [22:55] I like how on OS X you can type Ctrl+` in a Terminal window and it switches focus to another Terminal window kind of like how Alt+Tab switches to another program. Is there a way to do Ctrl+` in ubuntu? [22:55] this is my fstab [22:55] how to create a partition via cfdisk ? [22:55] hey, I got a simple question I just cant get fixed: [22:55] pmo_sorry about that. when I get phone calls I lose internet. Anywho, I think I found out how to do what I need but in order to do it I need to the the toshiba acpi module. How do I go about doing that?

Playing flash games also flicker! Overall the system feels slightly sluggish (and from my experiences with windows, it's usually graphics) === ulaas_ is now known as ulaas [22:57] in bash running sudo dolphin & won't work since the password needs to be filled in when the program runs..... All I want is for sudo to run dolphin as a new procces (instead of a child).. how to do that? [22:57] innomen: the one thats maxing out [22:57] haunter250: I see [22:57] i'm just asking for general use the one that froze just now when i killed with process monitor was the ps2 emulator [22:57] !gksudo | Squarc1 [22:57] Squarc1: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [22:57] haunter250: well you can have a look at what the bot gave, but your probably better off putting 8.10 on for now, untill 9.10 comes out, which has Intel graphic card issues fixed [22:57] i fired it up wiothout a controller or game and it was sitting at the language screen heheh [22:57] innomen: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KeyboardShortcuts that is a good page.

[22:58] innomen: ok, you know on command line you can install htop, that is like top but more comfortable [22:58] Lyra1, modprobe toshiba_acpi [22:58] sebsebseb: Thanks for your help. Any idea when 9.10 is due? [22:58] haunter250: oh and by the way 8.10 is actsauly better than 9.04 in certain ways, and pretty similar [22:58] !release [22:58] Ubuntu releases a new version every 6 months. Each version is supported for 18 months to 5 years.

[22:58] haunter250: good idea to put 8.10 on now, run that for now, and then do another clean install when 9.10 comes out :) [22:59] russ: does iwconfig correctly list that it is using encryption? [22:59] guyz.. how to create a partition using cfdisk? [22:59] sebsebseb: Is it an easy rollback? I've already spent two days on this :D [22:59] haunter250: roll back?

[23:01] guntbert, htop installed, very cool, thanks, looks like xtree gold heheh [23:01] ...r u using Ubuntu [23:01] innomen: I knew you would like it :-) [23:01] trism the only thing it says related to encryption is "Rx invalid crypt: 0", otherwise no mention of encryption [23:01] !ot | hermitcrabred [23:01] hermitcrabred: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [23:01] hermitcrabred: Yes I am.

[23:02] hermitcrabred: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes That may help. [23:02] sebsebseb: Ok, I'll see if I can find 8.10 somewhere. Thanks for your help. Would it be fairly simple to upgrade from 8.10 to 9.10? [23:02] bucky what should I look for in the output? [23:02] innomen, you might want to go to options in htop and set it to not show user threads. they really clutter up the display in htop [23:02] sebsebseb: no, not really [23:02] ubottu so what`s the topic here then??? [23:02] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [23:02] Lyra1, http://memebeam.org/toys/ToshibaAcpiDriver [23:02] trism it had no effect on the response to the iwconfig command [23:02] haunter250: I'll get you the link for 8.10 and that [23:02] Hi there , could someone please help me with this error http://pastebin.com/m1e8708a3 [23:02] haunter250: it's a good idea to clean install again, when 9.10 comes out [23:02] russ: yeah then you don't have encryption enabled, sometimes you have to explicitly do iwconfig eth1 key restricted, (without a key) and then check iwconfig again to see if it lists encryption on the device [23:02] !offtopic [23:02] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

Now I know kdesudo is supposed to provide dolphin with a better environment. However, it's anoying to have to do it over 4 times before it works.. [23:03] ...Let me try that... [23:03] kahen, alrighty [23:03] can I just do this: mv ~/.mozilla /somewherelese; ln -s /somewherelese/.mozilla ~/ ? [23:03] anyone in here have much experience installing to netbooks? i seem to have ruined the microsd card of my mp3 player trying yesterday and the only thing i have big enough for ubuntu netbook remix is the primary storage on my mp3 player [23:03] hermitcrabred: this channel is for ubuntu support only [23:03] haunter250: otherwise you would have to upgrade through 9.04, and so on [23:03] before attempting to dd the netbook remix image to my mp3 player's primary storage i would like to be certain it will be usable again afterwards or whether that is another option to install it [23:04] with can, i mean, will firefox continue working just fine.... [23:04] kahen, done [23:04] back in the day there were ways to save packages to a partition and the tell the installer to install from there. isn't there some way to use a smaller thumb drive to boot the installer and install packages from a partition on disk? [23:04] wow, I thought ubuntu would be easier than windows [23:04] ...I`m using Ubuntu and I have a question about md5sum so what`s the point?

[23:05] trism i did that and it still does not say anything more about encryption [23:05] hermitcrabred to verify what you have is what you want [23:05] (uncorrupted) [23:05] andresmh: try it, but yes it should work, but why do want to do that? [23:05] its not very people friendly :/ === bruenig is now known as indeedhmm [23:05] haunter250, ubuntu is both easier and more powerful than windows [23:05] haunter250: what isn't? [23:05] Axz: not at boot... you are logged in ... don't lie [23:05] fccf: cant you just tell me how to run sudo dolphin & properly? I just need 'dolphin &' to be executed by sudo [23:05] guntbert, running out of space in /home [23:05] it wont hold your hand though, you might have to read some documentation [23:05] I accept more powerful, not easier [23:06] Squarc1: dolphin is in KDE not in ubuntu, and as such #kubuntu is the place to ask [23:06] what are you having trouble with? [23:06] haunter250 you have to use it a bit before you know that with any certainty [23:06] ok [23:06] haunter250, the ways in which ubunut is insensative to userfriendliness is ussually the result of an app being under maintained, or some patent law crap, so ultimatly not ubuntu itself's fault [23:06] russ: not really sure then [23:06] fccf, i got those error also on install and bot but they don't show up after installation [23:06] haunter250: i'll help you get set up nicely with 8.10 and 9.10 when it's time if you want [23:06] andresmh: ah, I see - it should definitely work - but you could mount another partition into your homedirectory too [23:06] haunter250, just come here and ask when you have issues, you'll pick it up really fast [23:06] haunter250 there mere fact you don't have be hassled with malware, individually updating packages or reinstalling makes it 100% easier imo [23:06] somehow with "dmesg | head" i still get those errors [23:07] trism well thanks for trying [23:07] guntbert, why would that better? [23:07] haunter250: it's unfortuante in a way that you have an Intel graphics card, and so should really put 8.10 on, however in certain ways 8.10 is actsaully better than 9.04 anyway [23:07] trism guess mhy ubuntu system is broken [23:07] sinthetek, eh, but widnows can feel a lot more modular (ironically) because of the installation process [23:07] as long as you aren't doing weird/tricky stuff or using odd/cutting-edge hardware it is typically as easy or easier to use in every respect [23:08] Axz: it is a handshaking thing, and it repairs itself several lines down i believe ... but as you only provide partial information by |head I really cannot tell you more ... perhaps pastebin the whole of dmesg [23:08] sinthetek, thats dismissive, to say that all difficulty is effectivly the users fault. [23:08] russ: well wireless can still be a pain to configure on linux sometimes [23:08] haunter250: http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.10/ download the desktop CD ISO then you should check the ISO to make sure it's a good download, that's easy to do, then you burn the contents to CD [23:08] I really like ubuntu, don't get me wrong, buts its not very easy to fix issues [23:08] i wish XP would live boot, live boot is the coolest thing [23:09] haunter250: yeah depends on the issue [23:09] andresmh: not necessarily better - but another way and it seems a bit clearer to me (because from the linked directory its not easy to see where it "belongs") [23:09] haunter250, thats what we and the forum are for man, just give it a chance :) [23:09] sebsebseb: can I run that from USB? I have no black disks atm :/ [23:09] trism on windows it just works. you really have to be committed to enduring a lot of time-wasting to use linux.

[23:27] Guest98796: you'd have to rebuild and reinstall the kernel after you edited the Makefile of course [23:27] mneptok, you typed faster than I,lol [23:27] Mrokii: gnu/linux is not windows, it has is owns programs [23:27] apps>add [23:27] mneptok, thiebaude "OceaniX.x86_64".

I tried two different source and both say that this is the linux-version [23:29] Mrokii: http://www.bigfishgames.com/download-games/3180/oceanix/index.html <--- that game? [23:30] yep [23:30] I'm having problems with my system not recognizing/mounting CD/DVD discs. Have others reported this problem recently?? [23:30] Mrokii, from that website? [23:30] Mrokii: see the system requirements? [23:30] mneptok, thiebaude There *is* a Linux-version available. I will see if I still have the link. [23:30] Mrokii, ok [23:31] thiebaude, here, for example: http://happypenguin.org/newsitem?id=9219 [23:31] Play FREE for one hour (18.22 MB) - oceanix | Mrokii jum......................................

It is downloadable here (the zip I downloaded): http://happypenguin.org/show?OceaniX [23:32] hey all, in a bash script I got grep to output a line like this: "PTS=0.1860, frame_time=33 ms, bitrate=9100 kbps". now I need to store the number 33 in a variable, how do I extract the number 33 from this line?

[23:35] i have an ace file that wont open even witht he non free unacer in the repos [23:35] kevdog, The problem is *not* the extration, but that what is inside doesn't work for me :) [23:35] it opens in windows just fine [23:35] I just reformatted my external hard drive from fat32 to ext4 and it's about 100gb smaller.

[23:36] fuzzman54: Ext4 is still a little bit hmm in 9.04, and extenal hard disk is for storage I assume? [23:36] Mrokii, i never installed linux zip files before [23:36] Mrokii: on the desktop? [23:36] mneptok, The zipfile contained a folder named "OceaniX", inside another folder named "OceaniX.app" and the two exectuables I mentioned before... [23:36] Yes. [23:36] i'm getting the error 'dpkg (subprocess): unable to execute installed pre-removal script: Exec format error' when trying to apt-get remove a package... is there anything I can do to just mark it as uninstalled in the database? i don't even care if there are holdover files on the disk anymore [23:37] fuzzman54: so maybe would have been better to stay with the fat32 on it for now [23:37] mneptok, erm, no, in a Downloads-folder [23:37] mneptok, Does that matter? [23:37] fuzzman54: or put Ext3 on instead even [23:37] Mrokii: and where is that? and what is it named? [23:37] Mrokii: if you want me to give you all the commands you need to run the game, yes, it does. [23:37] fuzzman54: for example with 9.04 if people delete big files, they might get a lock up issue [23:37] I'm having trouble getting a bridge connection in vmware to work It use to work fine now all I can get to work is NAT [23:37] fuzzman54: when using Ext4 [23:37] I had the same problem with Ext3.
