[00:00] nostalgicBadger: :P [00:00] Chousuke: Lots of JavaScript on a page can slow it down a bit [00:00] nostalgicBadger: modern browsers are fast, but not miracle workers. [00:00] Chousuke - hahaha [00:00] Modern CPUs help [00:01] Facebook needs an HTML. because the devs don't know how to utilize js. [00:01] That's as much about loading as it is about interpreting JavaScript [00:01] where can i get xchat-gnome help? [00:01] HTML mode* [00:01] syk: ask here [00:01] is there any way to get a nicklist in xchat gnome? [00:02] Anyway, this app is running faster now [00:02] syk: I thought it did have a nicklist by default [00:02] syk: have you tried the regular version of xchat? [00:02] sky: Below the list of channels, click where it says how many users there are [00:03] hi - im trying to install kubuntu 64-bit with Windows Virtual PC on Windows 7.. I get an error that the iso is not 64-bit, when I clearly downloaded the 64-bit version [00:03] you're trying to run kubuntu 64 bit on Windows 7? [00:03] asm`: it might be caused by virtual pc not supporting 64-bit [00:03] well thats shitty. [00:03] nostaglic: yes why not? [00:03] asm - why? [00:04] asm`: please refrain from using that kind of language [00:04] okay sory [00:04] lstarnes, yeah i like the gnome version better, just wish i knew how to get the nicklist. would you happen to know where i can find the xchat-gnome directory to edit the theme? [00:04] let me google this [00:04] i'm trying to imagine what the point of running linux in windows 7 would be. [00:04] syk: I do not know [00:04] asm`: VirtulPC does not like Linux much [00:04] asm`: also any version of Windows as the host :( [00:04] syk: but in my experience xchat-gnome tends to not be as complete as the original xchat [00:05] sebsebseb: thats not true. i virtulized the same iso just fine when i had vista. but i was using VMWare. [00:05] syk: Did you see what I said? Below the channel view [00:05] asm`: exactly [00:05] asm`: VirtualBox? [00:05] asm`: as I just said Virtualpc tends not to work that well with Linux [00:05] yes well i dont like vmware. [00:06] i dont mind it but i couldnt do true full-screen [00:06] Hillshum: i just seen that, thank you [00:06] asm`: Virtualbox with Windows as the guest, and Linux as the host? :) [00:06] asm`: are you using a 64-bit version of windows 7? [00:06] yes. [00:06] Hillshum: any idea where i can edit the theme in xchat-gnome? [00:06] Hi I trying edit my xorg to setup my two mouse, but it doesn't seem make any difference, i wonder why [00:06] i will try VirtualBox.. because I didnt like VMWare. [00:06] here is my xog.conf [00:07] I couldnt find 'Vmware Tools' to install on Kubuntu.. [00:07] syk: No :/ [00:07] you cant go full-screen without those tools. [00:07] and your VM looks like crap. [00:07] can i go full screen with Sun VB ? [00:07] asm`: Virtualbox is better [00:07] Section "InputDevice" [00:07] Identifier "Mouse0" [00:07] Driver "mouse" [00:07] Option "CorePointer" [00:07] Option "Protocol" "usb" [00:07] ioky: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:07] Option "Device" "/dev/input/mouse1" [00:07] asm`: yes you can [00:07] asm`: yes [00:07] okay.. [00:07] !language | asm` [00:07] asm`: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [00:07] yes I had Sun VB at one time.. [00:07] i love virtualbox.. make sure you install the nonfree version [00:07] what is the non-free version? [00:07] asm`: and I hope Linux in a vm is only for testing :) I suggest putting Ubuntu 9.10 on as host OS when it's released at the end of October :) [00:08] asm`: the sun version [00:08] the nonfree version has usb support [00:08] asm`: they are both free as in price, just one version is open source and the other is closed source, that one also has USB support for example [00:08] sebsebseb: tbh, i want to try beryl and KDE. [00:08] asm': why are you trying to run ubuntu within windows anyway? [00:08] because i like ubuntu [00:08] asm`: Beryl is no longer made, that got forked back into Compiz Fushion [00:08] asm`: so why don't you just install ubuntu? [00:08] because i game a lot [00:08] nostalgicBadger: many people run linux on a windows host to get around hardware issues [00:09] and i like windows 7 [00:09] asm`: well depending on what games you play, you may be able to get them working well in Wine, or possibily in a Windows virtual machine even, but if 3D well hmm, but 3D support is getting there to [00:09] moo: os: Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate - (6.1.7600) up: 21hrs 22mins 11secs cpu: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E8400 @ 3.00GHz (x64) at 3003MHz gfx: NVIDIA GeForce 9400 GT 512MB res: 1440x900 32bit 60Hz ram: 1346/4095.1MB (32.86%) [|||-------] hdd: C:\ 50.37GB/73.14GB D:\ 296.6GB/596.17GB E:\ 515.96GB/522.93GB G:\ 658.13GB/931.51GB net: Atheros AR8121_AR8113_AR8114 PCI-E Ethernet Controller[NDIS6.20] - 100MB/s 2.47GB In 112.84MB Out [00:09] asm`: Windows 7 = Vista version 2 [00:09] ::nexgen·acidmax::. .::nexgen·acidmax::. .::nexgen·acidmax::. .::nexgen·acidmax::. .::nexgen·acidmax::. .::nexgen·acidmax::. .::nexgen·acidmax::. .::nexgen·acidmax::. .::nexgen·acidmax::. .::nexgen·acidmax::. .::nexgen·acidmax::. .::nexgen·acidmax: [00:09] ::nexgen·acidmax::. .::nexgen·acidmax::. .::nexgen·acidmax::. .::nexgen·acidmax::. .::nexgen·acidmax::. .::nexgen·acidmax::. .::nexgen·acidmax::. .::nexgen·acidmax::. .::nexgen·acidmax::. .::nexgen·acidmax::. .::nexgen·acidmax::. .::nexgen·acidmax: [00:09] Sweet_Boyyyy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[00:09] linxeh: :) [00:10] asm`: yes [00:10] and with windows you will need to install antivirus and antispyware.. and so and so forth which are performance killers [00:10] asm`: it does [00:10] yes i agree that windows 7 is vista SP3.. [00:10] asm`: it doesnt have USB pass through [00:10] asm`: but the open source edition doesn't [00:10] Hardware issues? You can just use ndiswrapper to get around driver issues. [00:10] asm`: the open source doesn't, but the closed source does [00:10] okay [00:10] but nonetheless [00:10] win 7 is smooooooooooooth [00:10] maybe not as much as linux.. but i mean.. you dont even have to install drivers [00:10] i heard it blue screens alot. [00:11] as long as you have a lan connection, it installs all your drivers for you as you plug stuff in [00:11] asm`: of course you have to do drivers for Windows 7, also good luck trying to run a lot of older XP stuff [00:11] asm`: you may find you can't just do that :) :D [00:11] asm`: there solution for this issue is actsaully virtualization anyway off topic [00:11] anyone in here ever use dual wireless cards with ubuntu? [00:11] sebseb: it comes with a free XP mode [00:11] asm`: you are lucky then. It was appauling in beta for us. haven't got retail yet to see if things are btter [00:11] asm`: yes that's what I am on about the xp mode [00:11] asm`: which is really virtualization [00:12] windows isnt perfect, but they started 20 years ahead of linux [00:12] so they have market share, its not rocket science [00:12] asm`: not exactly true [00:12] depends on what you mean by "started" [00:12] well of course the windows kernel is based largely on unix [00:12] no doubt on that [00:12] but unix etc was always free [00:12] asm`: well the Linux kernel is releasd in 1993 or so, but Linux distros are based on Unix which goes back to the 70's when only clever companies used computers, anyway off topic [00:12] !ot [00:12] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [00:12] they gui'd it up and started charing [00:12] asm`: windows is hardly unix [00:13] unix wasn't always free either. :/ [00:13] not even the kernel? [00:13] sebsebseb: 1991 to be exact [00:13] asm`: Nope [00:13] anyone have any issues with using dual wireless network cards in ubuntu? [00:13] windows doesn't have the market share because it's older. windows has the market share because a five year old could install and run it [00:13] the original UNIX was proprietary [00:13] * linxeh invites asm` to #ubuntu-offtopic [00:13] i agree with badger [00:13] im there linxeh [00:13] Hey guys I need some help here. My system freezes when I open the display properties [00:13] nostalgicBadger: well it's not that difficult to install Ubuntu and most other distros === zz_monteith is now known as monteith [00:14] nostalgicBadger: windows got the marketshare because it was cheaper. [00:14] nostaglic come by into ubuntuofftpoic [00:14] nostalgicBadger: a LOT cheaper. [00:14] they made it easy for normal newbie users [00:14] Chousuke: it has the market share, because it was there at the right time, Linux wasn't ready in the early 90's for average computer users, anyway #ubuntu-offtopic if you want to continue this discusssion [00:14] I am trying to setup my two mouse but it doesn't taking any effect, here is my x.org http://paste.ubuntu.com/266356/ [00:15] what info do you guys need? [00:15] fccf: Ok, looks like it works! [00:15] fccf: Is 3.00 the latest version? [00:17] whenever I find background images made for the gnome panels, they always never stretch the full bar, but instead make patterns [00:17] is there a way I can force them to stretch? [00:18] well, damn. this channel is dead. [00:18] :( [00:18] stickapotomus: not that busy right now, but far from dead [00:19] hehe [00:19] anyone know why my system is freezing when I open the display properties? [00:19] so i see. [00:19] hello all - this isn't really an ubuntu question, but is the g_list_nth_data line on http://live.gnome.org/GnomeLove/DragNDropTutorial a bug? It just seems unlikely. Anyone know anything about d-n-d in gnome? [00:20] hey guys question i have troble playing flash games [00:20] !details | tomas1 [00:20] tomas1: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [00:21] sebsebseb, are you an admin of this channel? [00:22] so were just looking the other way with my question then? [00:22] gotcha [00:22] hey where do i get Sun VB that is closed source? www.virtualbox.com or www.sun.com ?? [00:22] kyuss, i'd help, but i just installed ubuntu a week ago [00:22] *grin* [00:22] Ubuntu 9.04 I tryed to play a flash/Java game on facebook i installed all the java plugin and also the flash plugin and it still would not load the flash/java games [00:22] how can i see what brand an SD card is? is there some sort of CLI command for that? [00:22] how to escape the ' character when using it in a sed command I want to use sed '/server can't find/d...... [00:23] Is there a different channel for Ubuntu Server? === magical_walrus__ is now known as magical_walrus [00:23] tomas1, what flash game? [00:24] stickapotomus: an op of this channal no [00:24] deinspanjer, #ubuntu-server [00:24] stickapotomus: why? [00:24] durt: [00:24] sebsebseb, just curious. this is my first foray into ubuntu and was wondering how this was all maintained. specifically, if this channel was an "official" support channel, so forth. [00:25] stickapotomus: It is the official support channel. [00:25] See the /topic [00:25] bigdavejoker: \ is pretty much the universal escaper [00:25] durt: Bah! I flubbed my channel scan then. :) Would it be best for me to go there or here for questions regarding upgrading from an 8.04 desktop to 9.04 server? [00:25] Ben64 thanks thats what I tried but must not have used it correctly thanks [00:25] restaurant city. [00:25] stickapotomus: yes it is an offical channal, but most people here aren't exactly linked to Canaonical the company behind Ubuntu, and most don't have the Ubuntu member status thingey [00:25] sebsebseb, i see. so this is mostly a user helping user channel, yes? [00:26] deinspanjer, either or, the server channel is mainly for server config mysql, LAMP etc. [00:26] stickapotomus: yes volunters from all over the world, helping other people [00:26] stickapotomus: or users asking for help with their Ubuntu [00:26] i see. [00:27] durt: [00:27] stickapotomus: The 'chat' channel is #ubuntu-offtopic [00:27] Also... [00:27] stickapotomus: well I guess at least someone from every Internet connected countrey/island comes in here, but you get the idea, The Internet yeah [00:27] !irc | stickapotomus [00:27] stickapotomus: A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines [00:27] sebsebseb: Canaonical then doesn't offer a support service, like say you would call into Dell for help, etc. Correct? [00:27] stickapotomus: pici is an op/admin of the channal by the way [00:27] durt: Hrm. I just posted the question there so I'll wait a bit rather than cross post. [00:27] btw, linux being easy to install is a pretty recent development, and i'm not sure the market has caught on to it yet [00:28] i still had to use ndiswrapper to get the wireless drivers to work in Ubuntu Netbook Remix, on my netbook [00:28] stickapotomus: they do offer commercial suppourt as well, but yes it's better to take this discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic [00:28] hey all anyone know how to fix the no sound in running wine apps? [00:29] I am having difficulties getting my 8.04.3 installation on my laptop to recognize the video card, I am pretty sure I will need to manually edit the xorg.conf, does anyone have any alternative solutions? It is an averatec 3200 series, with a Savage S3 (I am pretty sure) [00:29] I'm trying to run steam counter strike and it loads but no sound in from it [00:29] sebsebseb: k, no more questions about support then - rather the actual question. has anyone ever had problems with the network applet in 9.04 of ubuntu showing the wireless network disconnected, but when you right click and view connection information it shows that is in fact, connected? [00:31] hrmmm whats your video card? [00:31] stickapotomus: I think I read before that, that applet can be a bit misleading (I think that's the word I want) === jay is now known as Guest89981 [00:31] hi, quick question, is anyone here running 9.10 with tex-common installed? [00:31] !9.10 | not_shivan [00:31] not_shivan: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 29th, 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [00:32] ah, thanks [00:32] not_shivan: np good luck [00:32] i cant play flash/Java games like those on facebook. i go to the page and they dont load i am faced with a blank screen [00:32] devon: are you asking me? [00:32] not_shivan: well I don't know what your actsaul issue is hmm anywah the other channal [00:32] sebsebseb: well, in that senario; my wireless network appears to be offline, since I can't ping out anywhere. BUT - i am running dual wireless network cards. at any rate, I got fed up and installed wicd - which now allows me to connect and stay connected to my wireless network. should i file bug report then for the network applet? [00:33] stickapotomus: Wireless is not my area [00:33] !wireless | stickapotomus [00:33] stickapotomus: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [00:33] Does anyone have pointers on upgrading from 8.04 desktop to 9.04 server? I'm hoping to do a clean guided install, I just don't have burnable media or a bootable USB available. [00:33] fair enough. [00:34] dennda: 8.04 is recommended for proper servers [00:34] whats up? [00:34] dennda: or any other LTS that is still supported such as Dapper just about [00:34] this is pretty cool [00:34] dennda: only for server for that one though [00:34] how do I see the number of used file descriptors by a user? [00:34] !lts | dennda [00:34] dennda: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Hardy (Hardy Heron 8.04). The next LTS release is scheduled to be 10.04 [00:35] how do search for files in terminal, including hidden files [00:35] dir [00:35] syk: ls -a [00:35] syk: ls -a ... or find .* [00:36] lol [00:36] i cant play flash/Java games like those on facebook. i go to the page and they dont load i am faced with a blank screen. [00:36] dennda: ah I messaged dennda by mistake [00:36] uh [00:36] syk: locate [00:36] !lol | ReV1500 [00:36] ReV1500: Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. [00:36] deinspanjer: [00:36] Does anyone know how I can resize a virtual hard disk image (.img)? [00:36] deinspanjer: see above when I messaged the wrong person [00:36] wow [00:36] magical_walrus: is it from a VM? [00:37] sebsebseb: Woah, Thanks! I didn't realize that 9.04 wasn't LTS === ghost is now known as Guest65518 [00:37] willluongo, yes [00:37] So what I want then is to really scrub and clean the machine to turn it from a cluttered 8.04 desktop to a new 8.04 server. [00:37] !java | tomas1 [00:37] tomas1: To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository [00:38] anyone on know anything about wine and how to fix is sound problems? [00:38] devon: best to ask that in #winehq [00:38] ty [00:38] deinspanjer: when I said any LTS for a proper server, well obviously people are unlikely to recommend now that you put on Ubuntu Dapper Drake 6.06. Also no probs. [00:38] hello [00:38] any IL users in here ? [00:38] (and awake) [00:38] i have installed that i did it as i found a link to RestrictedFormats and that had tools to install so i did but still nothing [00:39] tomas1: did you restart firefox? [00:39] yes [00:39] magical_walrus: you should be able to use the image manager in the VM to resize it... might be able to use gparted from within the instance I suppose [00:39] sebsebseb: So by the same token, 8.10 is not just a patch release to 8.04? i.e. it isn't LTS either? [00:39] ok well i now have popcap games loading [00:40] but the apps on facebook still wont load [00:40] deinspanjer: 8.10 is a separate release. [00:40] I'm finding lots of hits on upgrading from 8.04 to 9.04 and 8.04 to 8.10, but I haven't seen the one that I'm wanting yet. [00:40] tomas1: the three main ones are sun-java6-bin, sun-java6-jre and sun-java6-plugin, do you have all 3? [00:40] deinspanjer: The release numbers are YY.MM [00:40] what switch makes curl print the headers only? [00:40] i will check [00:40] i've got a bash template text file which I wish to remove some of its contents, this would be number at the start of each line and empty spaces left by it, is this possible through terminal commands if so how? [00:40] Pici: Ah, well that clarifies things then. :) [00:40] deinspanjer: 8.10 isn't a LTS, but for desktop usage it's quite a lot better than 8.04 really, also for certain people it's better than 9.04 even, but 9.10 is out on October 29th and that should be pretty good [00:41] willuongo: There isn't an image manager in the emulator, just an image creator. I am using pearpc (with a legally obtained copy of OS X on it) on windows, and was hoping Ubuntu was capable of resizing .IMG files [00:41] 9.10 is not lts either. [00:41] !lts [00:41] LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Hardy (Hardy Heron 8.04). The next LTS release is scheduled to be 10.04 [00:41] Pirate_Hunter: It is quite possible. You should start with `man tee`. [00:41] Pici: indeed [00:41] deinspanjer: change all instances of hardy in /etc/apt/sources.list to intrepid, apt-get update, apt-get dist-upgrade [00:41] dragon: ok [00:41] I am having some issues with ubuntu 9.04 and TEW-424UB usb wireless adapter, it says connected and sees the network but i cant browse the internet, or if i can its extremely EXTREMELY SLOW and at most times wont work. [00:41] should my network settings in sun virtualbox for ubuntu be 'attached to NAT' ? [00:42] !releases [00:42] Ubuntu releases a new version every 6 months. Each version is supported for 18 months to 5 years. More info at http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/releases & http://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases [00:42] deinspanjer: basically for proper servers use the LTS, for desktop usage, use whatever version you want, as long as it's still supported [00:42] Pirate_Hunter: just make sure you have a backup copy of the file you are running the commands on [00:42] or biriged or what? [00:42] asmm: get better answers to your questions in #vbox [00:42] sebsebseb: That really depends what on how often you like to upgrade. My server runs 9.04 [00:43] dragon: no problem it is a template i can get it again [00:43] Pici: oh you got a 9.04 server, but sure at what you said [00:43] sebsebseb: Definitely wanting as close to a "proper server" as I can get. Does it seem feasible that I can get there from 8.04 desktop? Or am I going to have to wait until tomorrow and go buy media? [00:44] Anyone know why 9.04 wireless internet is EXTREMELY SLOW or non existant using a trendnet usb wireless 2.0 adapter? [00:44] deinspanjer: you can run server stuff in the desktop version, however the server version has a proper server kernel as well === kronix` is now known as kronix [00:44] willluongo, Is there a utility for ubuntu that can resize .IMG files? [00:44] magical_walrus: I don't know [00:44] deinspanjer: I guess you can kind of convert the desktop version to the server version some how, but in that case, that woudn't exactly be recommended [00:44] deinspanjer: 'proper server' is a very vague term. Commerical companies don't want to upgrade their servers upgraded every 6 months, which is why we have an LTS release. [00:45] Pici: indeed and when I put proper server, I meant for example commercial companies [00:45] how to disable automatic mounting(for example USB HDD) in ubuntu? My /etf/fstab looks like this --> http://pastebin.com/mb4fc181 I assume it's controlled by fuser? [00:45] microhxo, what speed does your wireless connect at? [00:45] magical_walrus, i think partition manager might [00:45] microhxo, and what is your signal strength? [00:45] I'm wanting a distro that is focused on stability and security releases rather than bleeding edge. [00:45] Does not say, just says connected, and the signal strength is about 45% [00:46] I'm not a corporation, but I'm hosting stuff that is important to me and visible on the internet. [00:46] sebsebseb: [00:46] i have the network setup wide open, no wpa or anything. [00:46] I need a decent HDR tool. Any ideas? [00:46] hey, does anyone here use the NetBeans package? auto complete seems to be broken [00:46] deinspanjer: such as? [00:46] is there quide for recompiling kernel for unbuntu and installation of the new kernel [00:46] phix: Submit a netbeans bug? [00:46] But i cant ping any sites or the modem it self, sometimes i will get 2 or 3 pings that get through to the modem but most of the time it says unreachable. [00:46] PlasmaSheep: MythTV? [00:46] ah. just curious. i'm running dual network cards; but my signal strength says 5%; even though if I boot out and boot into Vista I get full strength. [00:46] fccf: haha, High Dynamic Range :P [00:46] PlasmaSheep: It is only the package that does this [00:46] phix go to the netbeans irc, i doubt its an ubuntu thing [00:47] PlasmaSheep: so why would I submit a bug report to netbeans? [00:47] pvl1, Thanks, I'll try that [00:47] phix: Well, if it's a bug,. [00:47] sebsebseb: I'm not wanting to have a hybrid install, I just don't have media to put the server ISO on and boot from that. I'm hoping I can install from within the 8.04 desktop environment. I do have an external drive hooked up to it, but I can't make that bootable. [00:47] microhxo, are you using the default network manager that comes with ubuntu? [00:47] yea [00:47] PlasmaSheep: Toooo many Acronyms [00:47] Please, I need help for a easy thing: I need to move all file in a folder (and in subfolders) into another folder [00:47] fccf: TMA :p [00:47] i have no way to download a new one :| [00:47] I'm stuck :( [00:48] The_Jag: Command line or gui? [00:48] deinspanjer: you can put the server stuff into the 8.04 desktop, altough that special server kernel hmm, but you don't need that anyway I guess [00:48] CL [00:48] cp *.* /destination/dir ? [00:48] The_Jag: man cp [00:48] phix: #netbeans [00:48] uhm [00:48] The_Jag: also man mv [00:48] yes but [00:48] why do so many people bring application issues into #ubuntu when those applications have their own channels :o [00:48] microhxo, damn, that sucks. i had almost same problem this evening and gave up and installed Wicd instead because my wireless kept dying and couldn't ping out either. [00:48] The_Jag: cp *.* /dest/dir -R .... the -R being recursively [00:48] Pici: any suggestions on what deinspanjer should do regarding his server? [00:49] Nitrodist: Get used to it :P [00:49] ah [00:49] but in my case the signal strength alwas reported damn near 0%. [00:49] The_Jag: Or, or, man cp [00:49] i missed -R in man [00:49] TY [00:49] Pici: Keep in mind, I'm not necessarily wanting to keep anything around from the desktop install. I'm happy to end up with a fresh clean server install. [00:49] Nitrodist: perhaps because there are so many people in here that use those apps everyday [00:49] sry for stupid question btw :p [00:50] I need a decent HDR tool. Any ideas? [00:50] Nitrodist: ok [00:50] Nitrodist: $10 I am told to ask my question on #ubuntu because it is a problem with the package :) [00:50] hi all, i have a problem running a mpd client , here is my mpd.conf http://pastebin.com/f248c8516 [00:50] deinspanjer: It doesn't really matter which you use. The Xorg stuff isn't included in the long-term LTS stuff though, only server components get the full time frame for support. [00:50] PlasmaSheep: Please discribe (in detail) what you are trying to do, it might allow for better answers [00:50] how do i ssh to another computer? [00:50] fccf: Okay [00:50] phix then how is an irc channel going to help if the package is broken?

[00:51] I need a decent HDR tool to make an HDR photo from several photos with varying exposures. Any ideas? [00:51] it is possible that lsof works only on ubuntu desktop and not on ubuntu server?

Packets leave the computer... [01:23] edbian: tell you what, linux is crazy enough that it works even if you add both, but by now you should know that it would suffice to add it only for eth0. [01:23] how can I see if the card 7300 gt is running with maximum efficiency? [01:23] alankila: Please start with my name so I see what you type. I almost missed that last comment ;) [01:23] anyone know how to toggle between languages in ubuntu?

[01:24] well it might work [01:24] yes switch between [01:24] brent: yes easy [01:24] i only installed it yesterday and i can do it again [01:24] tomas1: Buying a new computer has the same chances of working [01:24] margarita: right click on the desktop switcher and set it to have 4 desktops [01:24] like.. sometimes i want to type english... and other times korean [01:24] rofl [01:24] brent: add the langauge thingey to the desktop, then in it's settings set up your other langauge, and have one as default [01:24] is there a .deb for http://www.bpython-interpreter.org/ [01:24] brent: uh to the desktop, I meant the panal, right click and add [01:24] fccf, where is that at [01:25] sebsebseb, where do i do that...

[01:26] fccf, i got it thanks [01:26] yes they just wont work [01:26] dtam: i'm not familiar with any of that. perhaps you could link me to a site that would better explain it? I do appreciate your assistance. [01:26] tomas1: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer [01:26] i will see [01:27] tomas1: in the terminal you know about the terminal yes?

[01:28] tomas1: sudo apt-get install sun-jave6-jre [01:28] 아 [01:28] already done [01:28] thats the problems [01:28] tomas1: it says they are installed, but they don't work? [01:28] where can i get the udf driver needed to run my 360 hd dvd on ubuntu [01:29] yes [01:29] not sure which driver i need [01:29] hence im going to start with a clean install to see where i went wrong [01:29] tomas1: that may not fix it [01:29] I have a wine issue: X Error of failed request: XF86VidModeExtensionDisabled [01:29] good thing is ubuntu 9.04 does not take as long to install as windows vista does [01:29] tomas1: Flash is sometimes an issue to install, and maybe also sometimes Java as well [01:30] Ok this is weird, I get an internet connection using this Wireless usb adapter but i only get internet when the signal is full 5 bars, if it drops to 3 or lower the internet stops working! [01:30] tomas1: you can remove them from Synaptic [01:30] does anyone have a fix for this? [01:30] tomas1: and then install again [01:30] the computer is litterally 10 feet from the wireless router. [01:30] yes but i have othere things that might be interfearing like my lampp server software [01:30] tomas1: that is unlikely [01:30] I have a wine issue: X Error of failed request: XF86VidModeExtensionDisabled\ [01:31] I have a wine issue: X Error of failed request: XF86VidModeExtensionDisabled ** [01:31] DarkChewie: #winehq [01:31] tomas1: Linux programs tend not to conflict with other Linux programs, on Windows on the other hand, well yes programs might not work so well together [01:31] Darksoul69: #winehq [01:31] IdleOne: Thats nice, but it was working fine until a reboot.. [01:31] IdleOne: So I doubt they can help me [01:31] Picking myself up a netbook but thinking on getting either a 1gig ram model of 2gig. Does anyone know if the 2gig will consume allot more battery life? [01:31] Anyone? this wireless adapter works sometimes, only when i get full bars and otherwise it wont work at all!

They're on an IDE port that's using a JMicron chipset and the BIOS screen doesn't report them directly, but JMicron reports them as part of a RAID. [01:33] sebsebseb, Im ordering the Ubuntu Dell miniV .. its loaded with Ubuntu, thats why I was aksing. [01:33] LucidGuy: ok well it's still offtopic really for this channal [01:33] I disagree ... Linux distros are known for being pigs when it comes to battery consumption. [01:34] I went through the wireless docs and troubleshooting info, i couldn't find anything to help with my problem [01:34] LucidGuy: your question is hardware realted not software related in anyway really hence being off topic really as far as I know [01:34] fccf: that works only with jpeg files [01:34] That's a pity [01:34] urg [01:36] Hey guys, having trouble booting into my Ubuntu machine. It says the filesystem down't have /sbin/init and cannot find file/directories /root/dev /root/sys or /root/proc to moount [01:36] VickiWong: you screwed up good is my guess [01:36] Is there a channel for wireless issues on ubuntu? [01:36] I check one of my lost+found folders and it is full of subfolders and files, including bash [01:36] I have an NFS volume that comes un-mounted after a few days, is there any way to monitor for this, and force Ubuntu to re-mount the volume if its disconnected? [01:36] VickiWong: new install? [01:36] cstryon: yes this one [01:36] arand: no [01:36] VickiWong: my inexpert advice: save what you can (home dir, etc) and install anew [01:36] PlasmaSheep: you want to work with raw images? [01:36] it was fine last night, but this morning i was getting a few weird things happening andn ow this [01:37] hi [01:37] fccf: raw/tiff/lossless [01:37] VickiWong: How long have you had it installed? [01:37] how can I tell what is the name of the user running a server ? [01:37] fccf: I'm one of "those" :P [01:37] jouva:probably a good month+ [01:37] Hmmm [01:37] hi all [01:37] Yeah it's probably best that you just copy documents/data maybe some settings [01:37] And start fresh [01:38] It'll be much less hastle [01:38] VickiWong: That seems undoubtedly messy, tried manual fsck from livecd? (although if important stuff's ended up in lost+found, it might be garbled good.) [01:38] i need media help.. my multi-card reader does not work (texus intraments i believe) and my cell phone (moto-rokr) detecs its been connected to my pc via usb, (says that the card is not available, becuase its been opened by computer) but the pc doesnt detect it or the card. any ideas? === Enissay_ is now known as Enissay [01:38] VickiWong: lost+found is the folder where fragmented/corrupted data goes. [01:39] So, yeah. [01:39] Ok, I am using a Laptop, I JUST installed Ubuntu, I am completely new. I did the Sudo lshw -c network and it showed the wireless as disabled. So I connected with Ethernet, sure enough I got pdates, installed ndiswrapper and it found drivers, I installed those drivers, and now when I do sudo lshw -c network it doesn't say disabled, but I can't see any networks when I click on the network manager. [01:39] VickiWong: you can probably put in a LIve CD, and access your partition from it and any data [01:39] After I login in thru GDM, the numpad on my keyboard stops working, no matter numlock is on or off. The numpad keys are currently moving the mouse but no accessibility is enable. How can I fix that? [01:39] what do i have to do to start X? with nouveau it reports 'detected gpu lockup' and with vesa it reports 'error setting mtrr' [01:39] sebsebseb: what about recovery mode/knoppix? [01:40] PlasmaSheep: What about Knoppix? [01:40] i have my HDD partitioned into /boot /(root) /usr /opt /srv /var /home whats my best way to reinstall ubuntu and save the most of my stuff without causing conflicts? [01:40] Knoppix is to linux what Jesus is to Christians. [01:40] hey im having a real hard time i cant seem to get my hauppauge to work can anyone please help me my tv tuner card is def working i juts cant seem to get lirc to work [01:40] PlasmaSheep: meaning? [01:40] sebsebseb, i am able to access all my partitions when booting from my 2nd HDD fine [01:40] one more question before i go what is the browser that gives every one permission to access what ever folder they wont [01:40] sebsebseb: He could save his stuff by accessing it with knoppix [01:40] its the remote im having the problem with [01:40] is there something that can be done about it? [01:40] sebsebseb: it's a saviour [01:40] PlasmaSheep: he can do the same with Ubuntu live cd [01:40] PlasmaSheep: I am not sure, but I think VickiWong is actsauly a she by the way [01:41] IdleOne: yeah, I guess [01:41] IdleOne: but shh :P [01:41] * IdleOne looks at channel name [01:41] sebsebseb: there are no women on the internet :P [01:41] My ethernet controller eth1 is recognized in the "ifconfig" but is not connecting, somebody help me? [01:41] it sounded like nucleus [01:41] can the 'up' line for interfaces in /etc/network/interfaces be used to run a python script or only sh scripts? if not (or I guess even if so), what would be the best way to run a script every time I connect to a specific wireless network [01:41] oh yes a she :D and i have Ubuntu running on a 2nd HDD and am able to mount the partitions from the messed up drive [01:41] PlasmaSheep: there are and that joke can be rather offensive to them [01:41] anyone? [01:41] sebsebseb: I'm kidding. [01:41] PlasmaSheep: two of the most accomplished Ubuntu/linux people I know are women [01:41] PlasmaSheep: doesn't matter, they can still get offended by it [01:42] but that is ot [01:42] I have a sister, I know there are women on the internet.

[01:43] hi. not on this computer, but on a little mac g3 on which i have ubuntu 9, the mouse phases in and out of operation. i get a kernel message saying 'unable to enumerate usb device on port [whichever port i have the mouse in]. is this a driver problem? [01:43] VickiWong: the messed up drive? [01:44] Looking for help - I have an NFS volume that comes un-mounted after a few days, is there any way to monitor for this, and force Ubuntu to re-mount the volume if its disconnected? [01:44] VickiWong: In any case, I suggest you download/burn a live cd (I say knoppix, but I guess it doesn't matter), then copy your stuff somewhere safe off the broken disk/partition, then reinstall [01:45] so anyone have a tip on how to reinstall ubuntu whilst saving my apps/data/settings without causing conflicts? my partitions are /boot /(root) /usr /opt /srv /var /home [01:45] it seems that all the users that actually help are sleeping [01:45] Spudster, well... you could write a simple script that checks for the existence of a folder on the mounted share and if it is not there it remounts it... [01:45] VickiWong: why have you got seperate /usr /opt and /srv and /var [01:45] sebsebseb: Don't you? [01:45] Spudster, but finding the cause of the unmounts would be a nicer solution... [01:45] Kalmi: Thanks I'll give it a shot [01:45] VickiWong: surely you only need / and /home if you want that seperate, by default everything goes in / [01:46] Kalmi: Is there a log that I can look at to see what the cause may be? [01:46] sebsebseb, i was given this as a partition scheme, told it would make things easier to manage/recover [01:46] My ethernet controller eth1 is recognized in the "ifconfig" but is not connecting, somebody help me? [01:46] VickiWong: by someone that has used Unix for many, many years? [01:46] sebsebseb: VickiWong: would reinstalling only / whilst keeping the rest intact be doable? [01:47] logos -> not connecting to where? [01:47] Spudster, I dunno... maybe dmesg? [01:47] VickiWong: some of the old skool Unix people still do that kind of set up, but most other people are going to have it all in / or do a serpate /home as well, and possibily a seperate /boot depending on the file system they are running [01:47] hi. not on this computer, but on a little mac g3 on which i have ubuntu 9, the mouse phases in and out of operation. i get a kernel message saying 'unable to enumerate usb device on port [whichever port i have the mouse in]. is this a driver problem? [01:47] Kalmi: Thanks I'll have a look [01:47] sebsebseb, the scheme was found here http://www.linuxmint.com/wiki/index.php/How_to_partition [01:48] VickiWong: well partition setups vary, there isn't one proper way to do it, it depends on the user, and what they are going to do on the computer [01:48] is it an issue having them all on seperate partitions? or just overkill :D [01:48] VickiWong: it's overkill yeah [01:48] n8tuser i dont receive the stats "connected", what im trying to do is to put my 2 ethernet drivers to share my internet connection between ubuntu and a windows, cause my internet provider blocks the sharing if i dont have a router. [01:48] VickiWong -> but its always good to have a separate /home partition [01:49] VickiWong: yep what n8tuser said [01:49] VickiWong: well usauly good to have a seperate /home again depends on the computer and al that [01:49] I'm having issues getting my optical drives being recognized by my system. They're on an IDE port that's using a JMicron chipset and the BIOS screen doesn't report them directly, but JMicron reports them as part of a RAID. [01:49] sebsebseb, so considering i have these seperate partitions is it best i move files off the HDD, wipe, reinstall ubuntu, or do i just need to wipe certain partitions when reinstallin ubuntu [01:50] logos -> 2 ethernet drivers? i dont follow.. do you have a network layout drawing you can share so we can make comments? [01:50] VickiWong: why do you want to re install Ubuntu? [01:50] sudo apt-get install ndisgtk says invalid why? [01:50] 9.04 [01:50] sebsebseb, ubuntu is no longer booting [01:50] VickiWong: oh right yeah [01:50] sebsebseb: The file layout got really really fubar [01:51] VickiWong: for people with a working Ubuntu install that want to reinstall for some reason, I would normalley say wait untill 9.10 is released at the end of October, with the default Ext4 file system :), but for people like you, re installing does sound good / and /home [01:51] VickiWong: and a swap if you want [01:52] why doesnt this work in 9.04 ? sudo apt-get install ndisgtk === Administrator is now known as Guest41600 [01:52] microhxo: do you have the cd in the drive? have you run sudo apt-get update? [01:52] n8tuser sure, i moment [01:52] 1* [01:52] Havent ran sudo apt-get update [01:52] so move my files off and wipe whole drive before installing? or do i keep the / and /home partitions intact while installing [01:52] will do that now [01:52] will there be an upgrade options for .10? or will you have to install it fresh? [01:53] thing is, i have internet for like 5 seconds at a time then i have nothing! [01:53] VickiWong: how big is your /home ? [01:53] sudo modprobe fuse returns FATAL: Module fuse not found [01:53] over 100GB [01:53] VickiWong: the main idea of having a seperate /home is so it's easier to re install [01:53] VickiWong: so yes you can keep that [01:53] VickiWong: / and all that you can get rid of and start over [01:53] VickiWong: I think the / partition is the one that needs reinstalling the most, /home is probably best keps intact. [01:54] VickiWong: / will be Ubuntu when you re install [01:54] VickiWong: when you re install though you need to tell it in manual install that you want the old /home to be the home [01:54] VickiWong: otherwise it will just end up being a data partition, and your home will be in / [01:54] sebsebseb, arand, will i loose installed software? as i recall only app settings and personal files are on /home [01:55] microhxo, i'm not sure what to tell you. i had the same problem earlier, esp with the wireless network saying 0% - even though I could boot back into Vista and have them show 100% signal. [01:55] VickiWong: yes you will lose installed software [01:55] I ran sudo apt-get update but i got a bunch of failed to fetch errors [01:55] microhxo, i just went and installed Wicd, your results may vary. [01:55] VickiWong: yes, you will have to reinstall all applications, however there are ways to make that quite simple: ... [01:56] n8tuser http://img34.imageshack.us/img34/2223/imagem2hd.png somthing like that [01:56] arand: such as? [01:56] sebsebseb, as i can still mount all of myy drives (but not chroot) is there a an easy way to grab a list of what i have installed etc? [01:56] when i try to run sudo apt-get ndgistk i get invalid operation [01:56] same with Wicd [01:56] VickiWong: I think there is, but I don't know about that, but I think arand might [01:56] !aptoncd [01:56] APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers - See also !offline [01:56] VickiWong dpkg -l I am thinking hmm [01:57] microhxo: oops, missed it! its sudo apt-get install ndisgtk you missed the "install" [01:57] Ahhh [01:57] k [01:57] WTF? flash/npviewer.bin is spiking out my cpu at 100% with 1GB RAM in use! [01:57] VickiWong: http://www.2030.tk/wiki/Backup_Installed_Software_List_on_Ubuntu has a scheme for it. [01:58] logos so where is the problem? [01:58] n8tuser i whant to share the eth1 with my other pc with the win [01:58] hi [01:59] hi [01:59] arand, and this will work without booting into the Ubuntu in question? [01:59] n8tuser and share the eth0 ( that will be connected to the internet ) with eth1 [01:59] but eth1 is not even connecting [01:59] logos -> do you have a hub between eth1 and your client nic?

[02:00] n8tuser i was pretty suceeded in the windows doing this connection [02:00] logos -> your eth1 is not up or not showing it being up.. how do you plan to allocate the ip address to the client and this eth1 ?

[02:01] cappicard: yes I have had these kind of issues before [02:01] yes [02:01] ShapeShifter499, um... restart firefox? [02:01] I did [02:01] and restarted my comp [02:01] cappicard: well Flash is closed source and for some reason, it does stuff like that, to some of us [02:01] cappicard: in Firefox in Ubuntu [02:01] cappicard: What do you want to use Flash for? [02:02] is there any way to display duplicate folders in 2 different locations? e.g. a folder containing folders of pictures on my hard drive and a folder containing pictures of folders on my external [02:02] just viewing youtube videos. [02:02] sebsebseb, :D [02:02] i dont do anything out of the ordinary for it [02:02] cappicard: ok I think Swfdec or Gnash, may be good enough for that now [02:02] I know where the plugin file is, is there a way of linking that plugin file to firefox?? [02:02] Kalmi: What why? [02:02] My wireless card seems to be installed and working, but i can't see any wirelss networks. Any ideas? [02:02] cappicard: or you can do Adobe Flash in another browser [02:03] cstryon -> does iwlist wlan0 scan shows anything?

[02:03] logos i do not speak portuguesa [02:03] n8tuser, i don't know what that is [02:04] arand, :( thanks for the suggestion though, i wonder if there is a hihstory file somewhere from apt-get or something like that [02:04] n8tuser look justth command lines [02:04] VickiWong: what kind of programs did you install? surely it's not that hard to re install? even if you aren't sure what you put on exactly [02:04] logos, I suggest that you use a GUI.... like Firestarter [02:04] n8tuser =) [02:04] cstryon -> thats to scan what is available [02:04] VickiWong: dpkg -l looked promising [02:04] VickiWong: however it seems to have maybe cut something off in the terminal, but in the settings there is a way to get it show more output [02:04] kalmi synaptic have it? [02:04] sure [02:04] logos command lines have to be understood in context with the sentences, so they dont mean much to me [02:04] n8tuser -> ok, how do i run that?

[02:05] VickiWong: maybe that's not it, as in what I put [02:05] VickiWong: I didn't catch the beginning of this conversation, but /var/log/dpkg should have history [02:06] xikteny: she wants a list of all the packages she has installed [02:06] VickiWong: /var/log/dpkg.log that is [02:06] n8tuser -> wlan0 Failed to read scan data : Resource temporarily unavailable [02:06] if a package doesn't install correctly but it thinks its installed how do I get it to retry?

[02:18] danbhfive: the reason I ask is because I was trying to install ubuntu using two harddrives, one was a 20gb drive while the other was a 200GB sata drive. mounted the 20G drive as the root partition and the rest on the sata drive and when I was done it didnt boot [02:19] danbhfive: was I being realistic in setting it up this way? [02:19] cstryon -> which interface are we scanning on? [02:19] otherwise, do you have a script or command which permits to convert all .wma files , recursively into a directory to .mp3 files ? [02:19] cstryon -> btw, not open, but up [02:20] jalonso: I would think so. you should post what errors you ran into [02:20] paissad-hp: audacity will do that if you have the plugins installed ... though it is a little slow [02:20] danbhfive: error 15 [02:21] n8tuser, I had terminal opn, I have nothing else open or up, I don't think i understand what yo mean by what interface do i have up [02:21] n8tuser, this is the first time i've used linux [02:21] I was trying to do remote mount through ssh.

I'm on 9.04 [02:28] jalonso: I suggest you wait till 9.10, when grub2 is the default. Grub2 should detect your drives better [02:28] VickiWong: ah :( [02:28] clearscreen: I see networking tools but no 'general' and nowhere to change the name. [02:28] xikteny, so pretty much reduced to reading files/logs [02:28] danbhfive: oh ok, but for the time being, should I just reconnect that second drive and look at the device.map file? [02:29] rwparris2: I don't know from the top of my head (running debian).. you can edit it manually though... gksu gedit /etc/hostname [02:29] danbhfive: either way thanks for the information, much appreciated :) [02:29] jalonso: if you want to hassle yourself, sure. But grub2 will replace grub, so it may not be worth it. [02:30] danbhfive: gotcha, I read up on GRUB 2 instead, didnt even know they were doing it [02:30] danbhfive: thanks again [02:30] rwparris2: you're talking about changing what appears in your shell prompt? [02:30] np, take care [02:30] prince_jammys: yeah, I want it gone though not just changed [02:30] all I want to see is $ [02:31] rwparris2: PS1='\$' [02:31] rwparris2: or more likely PS1='\$ ' [02:31] rwparris2: put that at the bottom of ~/.bashrc [02:32] VickiWong: dpkg --get-selections according to webpigeon [02:32] hello, im trying to get openssh working on jaunty. i have installed it and can connect from the computer running the server through both "localhost" and "192.168.2.5" but when i come downstairs to my windows xp computer and try to use putty to connect to "192.168.2.5" [02:32] does anyone knows about install brainfuck on ubuntu ?

[02:34] haha alot of exiting and entering [02:34] sebsebseb, isnt that to get info for the bootable OS? [02:35] or can i specifiy the unbootable OS [02:35] MadSeaDog: by line number, by text pattern ... how? [02:35] does anyone know anything about "ychat"... [02:37] how do i get ubuntu to actually utulize my a415-hpg hauppauge remote if i run irw i see that its working [02:37] prince_jammys, let go with boths... for futurs uses... but text pattern will do the job... [02:37] VickiWong: I don't know [02:37] what is the purpose of source.list.distUpgrade? [02:37] VickiWong: yea, that command will not do unless you've booted or chrooted the system. [02:37] Its addresses inside it is from intrepid [02:38] Pici, thanks [02:38] MadSeaDog: well, it's best of you tell me specifics, since the approach changes depending on the requirements. What text pattern? [02:38] sebsebseb, yeah I tried the command but it just gave the local installed package list, but good idea :) [02:39] computers are such a pita... [02:39] Spricht jemand Deutsch, oder ist das hier unerwünscht? [02:39] prince_jammys, a path ... something like /home/blahblah/moreblahblah/ to /somethingelse/blahblah/moreblahblah ...

[02:40] but the main sourcelist is set on jaunty [02:40] MadSeaDog: do the twenty filenames have something in common that distinguishes them from the other files in the dir ?

[02:41] VickiWong: I'm asking in #debian currently, and they suggested: you can get a reasonable setup by just running dpkg --rootdir /path/to/blah --get-selections [02:41] MadSeaDog: make backups before you test this. it'll overwrite the files. [02:41] prince_jammys, yeah gonna change the end with *.something ... [02:41] prince_jammys, i dont need the old files after... [02:41] MadSeaDog: then sed -i sameasabove *.something [02:42] prince_jammys, ok thanks gonna try it now... [02:42] MadSeaDog: yes, but still. make backups to make sure the substitution is done how you want. [02:43] VickiWong: that would be provided you could locate the /var/lib/status file... otherwise, I think you should be able to extract the relevant data from the file you found, but that will be rather tricky though... === fccf1 is now known as fccf [02:43] MadSeaDog: that will not change entire lines. it'll just substitute one string for the other, everywhere.

[02:56] i like desktops [02:56] Which is still great though, Ubuntu is friendly enough for you not to need the terminal :) [02:57] yea but it is always good to learn [02:57] VickiWong: the command would be --admindir and you'll need to find two files: status AND available ( both from /var/lib/dpkg/ ) then add them to a directory, and also create a updates/ folder in that diectory then run "dpkg --get-selections --admindir=/path/to/the/directory > package_slections_backup.txt" [02:57] Oh yup, does not hurt.

[03:12] !kino [03:12] Sorry, I don't know anything about kino [03:12] rwparris2_: now that you have an error message it's worth checking out google or the ubuntu forums for a known problem. [03:12] rwparris2_: rather than reboot, you could restart the X session and see. [03:12] !movie [03:12] Sorry, I don't know anything about movie [03:13] Ok I'm about to pastebin my interfaces file, but the file only has to lines of text in it :S [03:13] rwparris2_: that would be done by: sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart (first save any work) [03:14] http://paste.ubuntu.com/266415/ [03:14] did i do that right? [03:15] cstryon: yes [03:15] I can't find any good video editors for Ubuntu; Kino doesn't work because i don't have firewire on here, all I have is a capture card [03:15] cstryon -> add these lines on that file, iface wlan0 inet dhcp, auto wlan0 === zz_monteith is now known as monteith [03:16] * RHorse looks around sheepishly... [03:17] im confused T_T [03:17] ?

[03:17] I used to make more than enough movies when I used windows, but when I installed ubuntu [03:18] tnx [03:18] *crickets chirping* [03:18] Hello, does anyone know of an itunes replacement that can use an itunes library out of the box? [03:18] wait i don't think i need to add any lines to my interfaces file. [03:18] chramo@chramo-laptop:~$ sudo ifconfig wlan0 down [03:18] chramo@chramo-laptop:~$ sudo ifconfig wlan0 up [03:18] chramo@chramo-laptop:~$ sudo iwlist wlan0 scan [03:18] the can found my network. [03:18] cstryon: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:18] I'm not interested in having it convert or import the itunes library into its own format; I need to share the library between Ubuntu and Windows [03:18] neither totem nor rhythmbox plays my audio files, but the Preview function in Nautilus works fine... === smartzly is now known as zlyubuntu [03:19] heh === _aleX-xx is now known as aleX-xx [03:19] n8tuser, ctmjr, and the rest, thank you all [03:19] GuidMorrow: what kind of video editing? cutting and pasting clips and such? [03:19] guildmorrow... i use avidemux for simple cutting and filtering [03:20] cstryon -> you're welcome [03:20] GuidMorrow: check out if avidemux suits you. [03:20] cstryon: do you want to connect to a network? [03:20] I kinda expected something with the same caliber as windows movie maker, but with more options [03:20] anyone know how to disable the system beep whenever i backspace to far or do anything really? it is quite irritating. [03:20] GuidMorrow: avidemux has many options for "advanced" editing, but isn't good for cutting and pasting many clips. === bruenig_ is now known as bruenig [03:21] ctmjr, yes a wireless network, and it was successful [03:21] windows movie maker is very amateurish.. but it is effective.. I loved vegas on windows [03:21] what about video capturing [03:21] Jyard, i had to disable that in my BIOS [03:21] cstryon: ok cool have fun [03:21] thiebaude: crap. thanks :) [03:21] Jyard, np [03:21] anyone seeing corruption. Like gnome terminals are invisible after suspend on karmic with KMS? [03:21] video editors is one area where windows kicks linux ass [03:22] wat [03:22] true. there's something called cinelerra also. check it out.

Install instructions can be found on http://cvs.cinelerra.org/getting_cinelerra.php#ubuntu [03:22] MSG [03:23] GuidMorrow: no, but installable. [03:23] johnf: I think that would fit in #ubuntu+1 [03:23] i have never tried cinelerra... maybe is should [03:23] ahh yes thanks [03:23] dtam, i've heard of it before, but nevere used it [03:23] never [03:24] hmm, for some reason I can't switch channels [03:24] tt [03:24] when i try to play a dvd using vlc, i get through the menu and through the FBI warnings and such, but when it comes time for the movie to play; the video window disappears and the audio becomes extremely choppy. i have libdvdcss installed. what should i do? [03:25] d1gital: you mean libdvdcss2, correct? [03:25] i don't think libdvdcss is enough, but i'm pretty ignorant in that matter.

[03:30] prince_jammys: what utility can I find that records video from my capture card? [03:30] prince_jammys: other videos play just fine [03:30] GuidMorrow: i don't know. vlc comes to mind, but i don't really know. [03:31] vlc is checking out regardless, if you're into video. [03:31] *is worth checking out [03:32] d1gital: and this happens with every dvd, right? [03:33] d1gital: have you installed the restricted extra package https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/ [03:33] prince_jammys: i'll try another one. [03:33] ctmjr: yes. [03:33] i just installed ubuntu where can i get java, divx and all the other goodies i need? [03:33] How do i replace a Trash Bucket onto my desktop [03:33] almostAg33k: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [03:34] using rm on a symlink will delete the link but not the destination, right? [03:34] After insalling Hidpoint, finding out it won't do what I need, and uninstalling it, something is suddenly eating most of my proccessing power, a look at the system monitor shows I am running at a constant 95% or higher, and half of my RAM has vanished. running the top command shows a dd proccess taking up 40% of my prossing power, which wass obviously not the case before as ubuntu ran on about 20% according to the systm monitor CU [03:34] draugefilekim: correct, thankfully. [03:34] is that all of them/ [03:34] draugefilekim: correct [03:34] ?* [03:34] almostAg33k: most of it yeah [03:35] almostAg33k: Flash, Java, etc [03:35] Anyone have success/information on the m560x webcam driver?

[03:38] ctmjr: I might have to record video off of these VHS tapes before something messes up with this VCR player [03:38] GuidMorrow: digital or analog tv? [03:38] hi everyone :) i have some itunes files in .m4a format that i need to convert to .mp3 for my portable music player. The files are not DRMed. Google is giving me a lot of results from 2006, etc. Can someone please point me to a resource with something current? :) [03:39] After insalling Hidpoint, finding out it won't do what I need, and uninstalling it, something is suddenly eating most of my proccessing power, a look at the system monitor shows I am running at a constant 95% or higher, and half of my RAM has vanished. running the top command shows a dd proccess taking up 40% of my prossing power, which wass obviously not the case before as ubuntu ran on about 20% according to the systm monitor CPU [03:39] autumn: are they recommending using mencoder or ffmpeg? [03:39] ffmpeg [03:39] spoon: try to manually kill the dd process (killall dd).. dont worry about ram usage displayed in top, linux works by the principle that unused ram is wasted ram, so a lot of stuff is cached [03:39] ctmjr: ?? [03:39] autumn: well, that'll work. it's not like either of those file formats is recent. === dabj01 is now known as dabj|away [03:40] ok :) thanks, just wanted to make sure nothing had changed significantly in the last 3 years lol [03:40] autumn: have you looked at faad? [03:40] no the RAM has vanished from the total on the system monitor [03:40] kahen: I haven't... I'm fairly new to linux multimedia stuff. [03:40] ctmjr: what did you mean digital or analog? there is currently no source connected into the VCR-DVD combo player itself [03:41] the recording is in an analog format though [03:41] autumn: faad = commandline AAC decoder. that + lame will do the job [03:41] legend2440: how about making my icons go to the right of teh screen instead of the left? [03:41] GuidMorrow: iased you if you where trying to record tv and you said yes that is not what you are trying to do [03:42] *i asked [03:42] as in, I have 1Gig of RAM installed, but minutes ago, ubuntu decided I actually only had 512 (displayed as 495) [03:42] !tv [03:42] autumn: or... should do the job. dunno if .m4a is some bastardized proprietary thing that apple has concocted. wouldn't surprise me though... [03:42] http://www.linuxtv.org/ has extensive information about using TV cards under Linux. Available viewers for analog cards: Zapping, tvtime (GTK/GNOME), Kaffeine, kdetv (KDE), xawtv, motv.

See also !TV-Out [03:42] kahen: itunes advertises it as DRM-free AAC [03:43] autumn: yes, but the container format might not be a standard mpeg-4 one. you know... it's apple... === pizdets is now known as pizzledizzle [03:43] ctmjr: I'm trying to capture video, not television [03:43] hmm...

[03:49] what do you guys think about this, i just installed "back in time" for backing up my filles and i chose to have it save the data in my ubuntu one file so it will backup my data to the cloud [03:50] I have 1gig installed, I know this for a fact, ubuntu is suddenly only showing 512 though (displayed as 497) [03:50] I DID have some proccessor usage issues that began at the same time though [03:51] spoon, if i had your problem i would be checking All processes [03:51] hunting down and killing the culprits with top and killall has cut down my CPU usage to more reasonable levels [03:52] hi [03:52] yo guys... dumb question but i have to ask it.. i did a lspci to see if my laptop has a sata hd...

[04:23] dsnyders /etc/event.d is a directory [04:23] dbbolton, there is a program called upstart === Irishmanluke is now known as Sailormoon [04:23] I have a question about malware... I seem to have acquired this http://www.geekpolice.net/malware-removal-guides-f12/how-to-remove-personal-antivirus-delete-guide-t7526.htm somehow, but am not sure how to go about removing/disabling it on ubuntu. [04:24] ubuntu help === Sailormoon is now known as Irishmanluke [04:24] ok i have a question for you [04:24] komies: thats on windows. [04:24] i think i have aquired a virus [04:24] what do i do [04:24] why do you think that fefer? [04:24] with ubuntu? [04:24] a virus on Ubuntu? [04:24] yes [04:24] ok idleone i ll try [04:24] explain [04:24] legend2440: What's synaptic? The gnuradio package which i found is only gnuradio3.1 but I need 3.2.2 which has the grc [04:24] its called rm -fr / [04:24] dsnyders no manual entry for upstart [04:24] ferfer, explain [04:24] ok [04:24] It's displaying the same symptoms it would on a windows machine [04:24] so I must compile it self [04:25] fefer: please don't do that [04:25] the same popups in firefox showing a fake windows security control panel [04:25] rm -fr / is a bad command [04:25] is not! [04:25] don't use it [04:25] lol [04:25] it gives u cookies [04:25] and I see the removal instructions for windows, but don't know how to deal with this in ubuntu. [04:25] komies: are you sure you're in linux and everything? [04:25] josvuk: http://gnuradio.org/trac/wiki/BuildGuide [04:25] that is really weird. [04:25] Hi, I need some help. VLC does not work, and I can't get Skype to recognize my headset.

[04:26] whos being a jerk [04:26] wow. weird. :/ [04:26] ... [04:26] !troll IdleOne [04:26] HEY GUYS I NEED HELP [04:26] Sorry, I don't know anything about troll IdleOne [04:26] If there's somewhere I can double check for you... I totally will. But this sure looks like linux to me. And my windows partition is borked, so if I was under windows I wouldn't be on xchat. [04:26] yes, vede? [04:26] VLC does not work (sometimes stops responding altogether, if it doesn't do that it closes (no error) when I press the "next" button), and I can't get Skype to recognize my headset (but PulseAudio does). [04:26] I've only posted that here four times now. [04:26] sorry.... [04:27] komies: that "malware remover" is highly suspect, anyway. [04:27] people are just ignoring you because they have no idea what's wrong [04:27] vede, your whole system is up to date? [04:27] As far as I know. [04:27] Yeah... I figured I'd ask here. [04:27] Just installed it yesterday. [04:27] Got everything updated. [04:27] vede, error logs say anything? [04:27] I dealt with malware on the time when I ran windows, but I've been ubuntu-only for over a year and never had a malware issue [04:27] ... I dunno. [04:27] komies: it reeks of phoniness, ie. being malware itself. [04:27] vede: are you using Ubuntu or Kubuntu [04:27] or something else? [04:28] can ubuntu remote desktop with only ubuntu ? [04:28] Ubuntu, but I'm on xfce, not GNOME. [04:28] ah [04:28] GTK based. [04:28] use gnome [04:28] so since VLC is a Qt application, it requires different libraries [04:28] Aren't they both gtk-based? [04:28] So pretty much I reached a dead end... and came here. [04:28] dbbolton, Check out http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [04:28] and generally doesn't work well in a GTK based DE [04:29] Kubuntu is Qt [04:29] but its behaviour is similar to its behaviour on windows. Popups in firefox, trying to prevent you from closing the fake windows security center page, etc === prince_j1mmys is now known as prince_jammys [04:29] yes but not completely, works better with gnome environment [04:29] well do: sudo apt-get remove firefox [04:29] hmm [04:29] then reinstall it [04:29] josvuk: i think this will give you 3.2 http://gnuradio.org/trac/wiki/DebianPackages [04:29] removing firefox won't necessarily remove it [04:29] VLC was running fine a while ago. [04:29] also look in /usr and home/.mozilla .firefox folders [04:29] try: sudo aptitude purge firefox then? [04:29] vede, have u tried to reinstall? [04:30] But then I tried fiddling with PulseAudo, and now it doesn't work. [04:30] Yes, I've reinstalled VLC. [04:30] fefer: Is there something we can help you with? [04:30] vede: IMHO pulseaudio is crap [04:30] dbbolton, Is there a reason you want to change the number of startup shells? [04:30] I prefer to go pure alsa [04:30] What should I use? [04:30] try: mv ~/.mozilla ~/mozilla~ [04:30] ok, going to check in firefox's folders first [04:30] What is alsa? [04:30] where is /usr located? [04:30] Ubuntu has pulseaudio for convenience [04:30] then starting firefox up again [04:30] legend2440: No, there are no packages for ppc [04:30] advanced linux sound somethingorother [04:30] :-( [04:30] basically ALSA is what's sitting underneath pulseaudio [04:31] The thing is... it's sporadic, and I can't duplicate it, so I won't really know if anything's worked. x_x [04:31] and to be honest, You would want Pulseaudio when you want dynamic software mixing :) [04:31] Okay... [04:31] what is the apps name that stores your minamized applications then click on the icon and maximise [04:31] i.e. [04:31] playing 2 programs [04:31] which both make sounds [04:31] josvuk: oh ok forgot you said ppc [04:31] at the same time [04:31] Vovk: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:31] I want my headset to be able to send audio to Skype. [04:31] Flannel, hmm, probably not. [04:31] Right now I can test it with PulseAudio, and it works, but Skype won't detect it. [04:31] What would I be looking for in the firefox folders? [04:31] i could not able to setup the virtual hosts properly on Ubuntu.all virtual hosts (for which i have create files in sites-enabled directory) (www.alumclub.net,groupalumni.com ) pointing to default "It works Page". Any clue on what going wrong? [04:32] Vovk what the hell? [04:32] anyone use ninjavideo? [04:32] I never ever use pulseaudio for that infact it seems to mess up more than it helps (static when playing anything with cpu load) [04:32] DMJC i was never able to get alsa to get 2 programs to both play sounds at the same time [04:32] audigy 2 platinum pro card here [04:32] works fine [04:32] Is it a problem that I don't have a sound card? [04:32] DMJC pulseaudio fixed the problem for me === JayFo is now known as JFo [04:33] vede, your mother board should have one [04:33] Flannel, unless you have a way to use snmpv3 without inputting a password and without having a cleartext password file snmp.conf < to initiate snmpv3traps. also not using pki [04:33] yeah, I'm pretty sure it does. [04:33] do an lspci [04:33] Alright, so... any ideas on how to get Skype to work? [04:33] and paste it to me in a private window === rashed2020-away is now known as rashed2020 [04:34] skype'll use either alsa or pulseaudio [04:34] it can use both [04:34] Well, right now it's not using either. [04:34] Or if it is, it's not properly catching my headset. [04:34] which skype version are you using? [04:35] Um... [04:35] there's the one the distro ships with and then there's the website's version [04:35] I got the one off the website. [04:35] ok [04:35] that's what I'm using [04:35] I'm setting up a new server [04:35] :/ said it was for intrepid, is that a problem? [04:35] what version of Ubuntu should I use? [04:35] shouldn't be a problem and it shouldn't mater [04:35] alus: either use commandline only [04:35] Okay. [04:35] or use a gui ubuntu [04:35] <[nodus]_> so what do folks think of the new ck schedualer [04:36] <[nodus]_> i see why mainline wouldnt want it [04:36] Hey, I wan't to access my server staus reports in apache, but i don't know how to set it up in ubuntu. can anyone help me out? === rashed2020 is now known as rashed2020-away === austin__ is now known as Guest85400 [04:36] dmjc: this is for a headless server, so a GUI will not be useful [04:36] ok [04:36] I mean, which version number? [04:36] use CLI only then [04:36] <[nodus]_> but it seems like something right up ubuntu's alley [04:36] 8? 9? [04:36] use 9.04 [04:36] alus: stability wise go with LTS versions.. 8.04 then 9.10 [04:36] Anyone? [04:36] anyone know of a website that explains how to install screenlets in ubuntu jaunty ? can't seem to find a workable site on google [04:36] avoid 9.10 unless you want bleeding edge [04:36] what is the app that when you minamize a window it will goto the panel , what applet is that i want to find a 3rd party one [04:36] I got ubuntu jaunty on dell inpiron 1525, the sound was working fine but suddenly it stopped working "device: null output pulse audio" [04:37] DMJC: how about 9.04 ? [04:37] maximus? [04:37] 9.04 was quite stable on my laptop === rashed2020-away is now known as rashed2020 [04:37] This IRC is insane. [04:37] 9.10 is still getting lots of patches/updates [04:37] ok. [04:37] webbb8: I think that's AllTray [04:37] and 8.10 is just too old? [04:38] Jyard: it's in Synaptic [04:38] 8.10 isn't too old but you'll probably find it's easier to run a bit newer [04:38] ok [04:38] * alus settles on 9.04 [04:38] newer = more user friendly, older = more tested [04:38] Does anyone know of a way to debug a corrupted torrent file? [04:38] <[nodus]_> depends completely on what he is doing [04:38] no not alltray is it the taskmanager [04:39] <[nodus]_> if he is tossing apache on a headless box [04:39] I can't find out why I'm having problems with the creation of a torrent file... [04:39] if i were to minamize this window it would normaly goto the panel what app does this [04:39] Clorox: ah right on ty [04:39] what? [04:39] does anybody know anything about apache? [04:39] task manager? [04:40] Guest85400: what about apache? [04:40] * vede still needs help with Skype... [04:40] :( sorry, can't help you with Skype [04:40] webbb8: there is an applet of sorts that displays that in the bottom panel. have you lost this? [04:40] Clorox: I eddited my .conf file to see server staus...but when i try to visit it in my browser it says permission denyed...i wan't to view it though [04:41] bassliner: yes [04:41] * vede also thinks this IRC should be split up into a few smaller channels so it's not so chaotic, and people can actually get help. [04:41] i del the panel [04:41] Clorox: Think you can help me with this? [04:41] Guest85400: what are the permissions of the file set to? [04:41] Clorox: Ah, yes the permissions....of the .conf file? [04:41] Guest85400: yes [04:41] !panels | webbb8 .. the easiest way. [04:41] webbb8 .. the easiest way.: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [04:42] Clorox: read-only and root [04:42] Guest85400: gimme Octal. [04:42] Clorox: Octal? [04:43] Clorox: What is that? [04:43] Guest85400: yeah, hang on a sec [04:43] Clorox: k [04:43] can i get google chrome on ubuntu? [04:43] bastid_raZor: ya i was trying to find the name of the applets that does this so i can try to find a alternative app [04:43] hi peoples!!! [04:43] Guest85400: gimme the output of "ls -a /etc/apache2/" [04:44] Oh wow. VLC started working. [04:44] is it normal that I don't have a proprietary driver installed? [04:44] Just, randomly. [04:44] webbb8: window list is the name of it. you can find it by right clicking the panel and add to panel then at the main bottom of the list. [04:44] would anyone be able to tell me why a connection to my ubuntu server keeps dropping on my local network (tricky one)? [04:44] Clorox: austin@austin-desktop:~$ ls -a /etc/apache2/ [04:44] . apache2.conf envvars httpd.conf~ mods-enabled sites-available [04:44] .. conf.d httpd.conf mods-available ports.conf sites-enabled [04:44] austin@austin-desktop:~$ [04:44] Guest85400: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:44] vede, my money is on pulseaudio cocking up [04:44] whoops..paspebin my bad [04:44] Guest85400: Whoops, I mean "ls -l /etc/apache2" [04:44] sorry [04:45] Now let's see if Skype works... [04:45] What is a relatively painless spamfilter I can setup with exim [04:45] clorox: http://paste.ubuntu.com/266442/ [04:45] Wee, time to install Linux [04:46] darkebrz: Good luck friend [04:46] LinuX2half: open system>admin>hardware drivers any drivers in there to activate? [04:46] Nope, Skype doesn't work. [04:46] Guest85400: what is it that you try to visit in your browser? [04:46] Guest85400: Well, it's set to read... I don't know what to say [04:46] Guest85400: also, try #apache if it has to do with your server configuration. [04:46] legend2440, no, it said there's no proprietary [04:46] It seems like I should just be able to change the source/sink and be fine... [04:46] anyone have any idea how to chainload other mbr's from grub2 by any chance? [04:47] prince_jammys: http://192.168.1.101/server-status is what im trying to do [04:47] legend2440, drivers install [04:47] good evening [04:47] i need some help [04:47] can any one tell me how to make a partition so i can instal xp? [04:47] prince_jammys: It keeps saying I don't have permisssion to acces /server-status on this server [04:47] legend2440, its said that there's no driver in use in this system [04:47] Guest85400: ok. perhaps you have it disallowed in your configuration files. visit apache's own irc channel, #apache [04:47] LinuX2half: you may have to use open source. what card? [04:47] i need to burn an iso from the live cd [04:48] prince_jammys: alright, thank you :) [04:48] all virtual hosts in ubuntu are pointing the default site.Any clue on what is going wrong? [04:48] prince_jammys: what the crap, cinelerra crashed, and now Computer Janitor wants to clean it away from my system [04:48] GuidMorrow: hehe. i installed it too! [04:48] Can anyone recommend good wifi scanning Ubuntu/Linux app? [04:48] ubuntu wont let me eject the cd [04:48] all virtual hosts in ubuntu are pointing the default site.Any clue on what is going wrong? [04:48] When PulseAudio asks for the "other" source or sink, what is it asking for? [04:48] Should I put in that pair of hex codes? [04:48] is there any way to boot from an iso on an ntfs partition [04:48] GuidMorrow: i don't know who this janitor is. i don't have one. [04:48] binarycortex: "unmount" it... [04:48] That it displays in the manager? [04:48] GuidMorrow: fire him. [04:49] binarycortex, sudo eject /dev/cdrom === dabj|away is now known as dabj01 [04:49] legend2440, I don't know what card you're referring to but here's all the data from my computer, http://paste.ubuntu.com/266444/ [04:49] question is it possible to rename files in commandline like a* -> b* ? [04:49] write out the full question. [04:49] DMJC: user friendly? http://codepad.org/UqniYt7d [04:50] lest we have to decipher "does he mean a literal asterisk?" [04:50] anyone know why my ubuntu server connection would drop off the local netwrok, intermitently? [04:50] * dabj01 wrote a PHP script to use for Wildbat's task. But isn't at home and doesn't have access to it. [04:50] Should I maybe just type in "my usb headset lol" when it asks for the "other" source or sink? [04:50] Scunizi: how would i unmount the cd if its being used as the hard drive [04:50] prince_jammys: i'm sure he means the parts caught by the * get copied to the new name [04:50] dbbolton, I think you have to look at the /etc/event.d tty* files to change things. [04:50] thanks hacked_kernel ill try that [04:50] binarycortex: why would you want to eject it if it's being used as the hard drive? [04:51] LinuX2half: your video card is 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device (rev 02) [04:51] dabj01: me too, but since he didn't have time to type that, i don't have time to answer. [04:51] so i can insert a blank cd [04:51] ... [04:51] i booted the live ubuntu and need to burn a cd from the same drive [04:51] binarycortex: to what purpose? [04:51] hi everyone can someone please help me...im not a computer genius and i need some help with ubuntu [04:51] to run windows check disk [04:51] turbo964, ask your question, don't ask to ask [04:52] or does fsck know how to fix windows partitions [04:52] binarycortex: if you've booted the live cd and want to put in the windows cd to run checkdisk .. it won't work anyway.. [04:52] turbo964, In an IRC chat, you don't ask if somebody can help, you just ask your question. We all are here because we need help [04:52] no i need to burn a windows iso to cd so i can boot from it [04:53] or want to help === kurt_ is now known as _kurt_ [04:53] thanks...i have a hp dv9000 laptop with windows vista home premium currently installed...i would like to instal ubuntu and keep vista...so i can use ubuntu when i want to play games and vista all other times...how can i do this? [04:53] i am only in ubuntu to burn the cd [04:53] Hi, just a question guys. I have a main desktop using windows, with my printer, photoprinter, scanner, etc. connected, but I also have a laptop with Ubuntu 9.04 installed. Linux sees my windows network, and I can connect to the desktop perfectly, but how would I be able to print from the laptop, if it's connected to the other computer? [04:53] I can't even record video with this thing [04:53] <_kurt_> anyone have any idea how to chainload other mbr's from grub2 by any chance? [04:53] legend2440, well I'm sure its installed and working [04:53] for some reason it throws exceptions, and then it tells me I don't have enough disk space [04:54] when I boot up ubuntu, I can ssh into my account from another machine, but eventually, the connection drops and I have to reinitialize the ethernet interface. Anyone had similar problems? [04:54] barqs: linux needs to have drivers to be able to output in a format the printer connected to the windows computer can understand [04:54] last time I checked it said I had 155.2G space left [04:54] turbo964, There are two ways of doing this. You could download the ubuntu cd, which runs on its own, or you could set up your machine to dual boot between vista and linux [04:54] LinuX2half: is there a problem with it? [04:54] i need some help for some reason when i hit alt-f2 the launcher doesnt start [04:54] binarycortex: that's a cunumdrum (sp?). you need the ubuntu cd in the drive to be able to burn but you need a blank in the drive to write to.. sounds like a second cd drive is in order unless someone else has a different solution [04:54] GuidMorrow: my opinion of it wasn't too stellar, either, after very brief exposure. [04:55] barqs: have you set up samba so you can see the desktop on the local network? [04:55] Okay... what do I do if I want to change the active source and sink and such in PulseAudio? [04:55] Scunizi: its a laptop [04:55] <_kurt_> or does anyone know a good way to do full disk encryption with booting multiple OSes that doesn't involve truecrypt? [04:55] binarycortex: that doesn't change anything. [04:55] legend2440, no, not exactly but whenever I watch a movie online fullscreen, it froze slightly on every frame. [04:55] GuidMorrow: perhaps it has its own irc channel. it's not supported here. [04:55] turbo964, You could also look at a program called wubi [04:55] dsnyders, so if i download the cd will i not need to instal ubuntu? will i just burn it to a cd and run it from there? [04:55] Scunizi: is there a way to boot the live cd, and use a custom command to tell it to boot from an iso on the harddrive [04:55] what does wubi do? [04:56] binarycortex: why do you need to run checkdisk? [04:56] legend2440, I've heard that the flash player isn't very good so it had created such glitch [04:56] Scunizi: binarycortex possibly make a usb install then the drive will be available. [04:56] bluescreen on boot, inaccessable boot volume [04:56] no usb drive [04:56] kahen: linux seems to have setup Samba by itself, so I just go to places>network>windows network and connect from there. But when I try and add a network printer, it doesn't work for some reason [04:56] kahen: Would you know how to fix this? [04:56] barqs: system > administration > printing doesn't find it? [04:57] turbo964, yes, you boot to the CD and run ubuntu from there. You will be somewhat limited in what you can do. [04:57] hmmm [04:57] how do i get alt-f2 to open the launcher again [04:58] i have installed xp and ubuntu 9 on my laptop so how can i get files which are on xp desktop from ubuntu [04:58] kahen: let me go turn it on and try :) [04:58] turbo964, if you live in college place, wa i'll come over and help you setup dual-boot right now [04:58] turbo964, wubi creates a version of ubuntu that runs as a windows app. [04:58] LinuX2half: heres some info about that card. i use nvidia so not sure what may be wrong https://help.ubuntu.com/community/i810 [04:58] is there anyway to run wubi from within the live cd? [04:58] binarycortex: if you have enough room on your drive you could install ubuntu as a dual boot and take care of it that way. [04:59] perhaps [04:59] ok but will be able to play games ok? i have an nvidia 7150M graphics card and need for speed carbon and most other games dont work well and someone told me to use ubuntu for gaming. in this case will i be able to play games with ubuntu and change back to vista for everything else? and what happens with my files and settings currently on vista? [04:59] in 9.04 how can I automatically mount a partition to "/disk" when ubuntu starts up? [04:59] I've asked 4 times already about my networking issues, I'd really appreciate it if someone could help me :) [04:59] but that would change the boot sector anyway [04:59] legend2440, okay, I'll see what I can found [04:59] !!!INTRUDER ALERT!!! [04:59] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [04:59] binarycortex: however in my experience, with a bsod in windows.. you most likely will have to do a full reinstall to fix it anyway.. [05:00] hey all, I just got a program that monitors my system and it shows cpu0, cpu1 and cpu2... I am running a dual core... what is cpu 0? [05:00] i used to be windows tech support [05:00] this is fixable [05:00] GuidMorrow: ha. you playin' berzerk? [05:00] GuidMorrow: if you didn't get that, never mind. i must be old. [05:00] binarycortex: hahahaha.. but not without linux? Now that is funny! [05:00] NewfierRich cpu count starts at 0..if you have dualcore then you have cpu0 and cpu1 [05:01] LinuX2half: if you do edit your xorg.conf i would recommend backing up old one first [05:01] i can fix it without linux but not without a cd burned [05:01] prince_jammys, Perhaps he's watching the labour day Star Trek Marathon. [05:01] which i cant do without linux [05:01] :D [05:01] dsnyders: see, I must be old. [05:01] OMG star trek marathon [05:01] kahen: It does not find the printer [05:02] binarycortex: at least you have some humor about this.. :).. it's a tough situation.. you could create a usb boot of linux if you had usb and then make use of the cdrom [05:02] I got ubuntu jaunty on dell inpiron 1525, the sound was working fine but suddenly it stopped working "device: null output pulse audio", any help? [05:02] mrtrout, then why does it show 3 cpu's this is weird [05:02] barqs: can you pastebin the output from "smbtree" then? http://paste.ubuntu.com/ [05:02] i wish i could run wubi from here [05:02] hacked_kernel: did you perform any updates recently? [05:03] Alguem ae do BRASIL???? [05:03] Declination, apt-get upgrade [05:03] periodically, ubuntu server connection drops on local network, any ideas? [05:03] alguem ae q pelo menos saiba falar portugues? [05:03] binarycortex: you might be able to do a net boot of ubuntu and then have the cdrom available.. but that is beyond my experience. [05:03] binarycortex, There is a website called pen drive linux which walks you through creating linux bootable usb flash drives. [05:03] !br [05:03] Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [05:03] obrigado [05:03] Declination, and i installed the conexant modem driver with dell modules [05:03] dsnyders: need a usb stick for that [05:04] hacked_kernel: i can't imagine that would have an effect on pulseaudio [05:04] or i need the /toram option on boot [05:04] binarycortex, Yes, you would. What are you trying to accomplish [05:04] kahen: Sure, it's this url: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/266449/ [05:04] but ubuntu doesnt have that [05:04] i need to burn a winpe boot disk [05:04] hacked_kernel: does ps ax | grep pulseaudio show something like /usr/bin/pulseaudio --start? [05:05] something on my ntfs drive is corrupted so it wont boot [05:05] binarycortex, do you have a floppy drive? [05:05] nope [05:05] Declination, none [05:05] well i might but no floppies [05:05] Declination, aplay -l : no sound cards found, ls /dev/audio* : ls: cannot access /dev/audio*: No such file or directory [05:05] barqs: and you have turned on file and printer sharing on windows? i think it's in properties for your network connection somewhere [05:05] Hi all I am trying to get bitpim to work with my phone,I found a tutorial that says to install 2shared.I am wondering if this is not a good idea [05:06] http://polygon89.wordpress.com/2008/08/31/how-to-get-bitpim-to-detect-your-cellphone-in-ubuntu-linux/ [05:06] theres the link to the tutorial [05:06] hacked_kernel: what does alsamixer give you? [05:06] binarycortex, Yikes, no boot possibilities other than CD and corrupted disk. Right? [05:06] can i chroot to an iso? [05:06] yup [05:06] Declination, alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory [05:06] hi all, anyone know how to fix my problem : i just switched from a 2:1 speaker to 5.1 speaker set, and with my old 2:1, the sound was perfect, now with my 5:1 speakers, i have to put the volumen to the max but still hear a little sound [05:06] would the instructions on customizing the ubuntu cd be of help here [05:06] legend2440,well thanks for the help, I'll come back if I need help again. [05:07] binarycortex, any free space on the hard drive? [05:07] yes [05:07] someone pinged me in here [05:07] periodically, ubuntu server connection drops on local network, any ideas? [05:07] LinuX2half: ok [05:07] hacked_kernel: hmm... thats probably bad, my hunch is that kernel update may have goofed drivers for your soundcard, but you are past the limit of my knowledge [05:07] * GuidMorrow sets mode +C [05:07] kahen: Yeah, I have, it used to work when the laptop had windows, but for some reason it doesn't work when I have ubuntu on here. When I try to add a new network printer, I cannot get access to the desktop computer via the new printer menus. it says access denied. Not sure how I could get access? [05:07] Declination, well thank you for your help [05:08] binarycortex, you could install linux onto that as a dual boot [05:08] hacked_kernel: try in terminal lspci | grep -i audio [05:08] barqs: not really, no. perhaps #samba? [05:08] yea, that was suggested, my only question on that is if the boot sector is whats corrupted... [05:08] Declination, 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02) [05:08] kahen: Let me try that out [05:09] would it be possible to extract the contents of the cd to an ntfs partition and chroot into that to free up the hard drive [05:09] binarycortex, do you know if it is corrupted, or is that a guess? [05:09] any ideas why my alt-f2 bindings dont work anymore [05:09] periodically, ubuntu server connection drops on local network, any ideas? One thing I notice is that as soon, or around the time this happens, output related to the "daemon log" is restarting... [05:09] 95% sure check disk will fix the issue [05:09] hm, seems to have worked, along with me using all lower case letters. I guess the full-upper case was a bad idea lol [05:10] kahen: Thank you! It worked. I used all lower case letters. Your help was much appreciated [05:10] i have no idea what part is bad, probably not the boot sector but you never know [05:10] it does start booting but something goes wrong during the boot [05:11] binarycortex, how far along in the boot process? [05:11] somewhere during the splash screen [05:11] loading the os files [05:11] im reasonably sure its not the boot sector but... [05:12] binarycortex: ##windows may be a better channel. [05:12] binarycortex, I'm sure you're well past the boot sector at that point. Setting up a dual boot should work. [05:12] bastid_raZor: i need help getting the live cd to burn a cd [05:12] i can fix windows after that [05:13] binarycortex: after creating a dual boot you might become a convert :) [05:13] binarycortex: that isn't possible from the liveCD. === kaie is now known as Guest4746 [05:13] Scunizi: i already am, but this is a work computer [05:13] bastid_raZor: i guessed that much [05:13] bastid_raZor: it would be if he had 2 cdrom burners.. [05:13] binarycortex: your IT dept. will have a disk on monday. [05:14] Scunizi: yes i agree, but not with one. [05:14] binarycortex: good.. glad to hear you're not a "virgin" lixer [05:14] is it possible to create a hard drive file like wubi does, format it as ext3, mount it, extract the contents of the cd to it then chroot to it? [05:14] tuesday [05:14] monday is a holiday [05:14] besides on tuesday i can reimage it my self [05:14] binardi think the way wubi works is like a VM.. creates a file on the drive. [05:15] how to access files on xp desktop from ubuntu 9 both are installed on same laptop [05:15] i've read that it's called a soft volume problem, does anyone have a solution? [05:15] !ntfs | Guest12250 [05:15] Guest12250: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [05:15] Guest12250: mount the partition [05:16] binarycortex, I wouldn't know how to do that, although it may be possible. [05:17] Guest12250: find XP's partition from fdisk & mount it. [05:17] hi! hehe [05:17] periodically, ubuntu server connection drops on local network, any ideas? I have to bring down et1 the bring it back up again to restore the connection, but this is pretty inconvenient [05:18] new computer? [05:18] maybe nic is dying [05:19] biggleswirth, any clues in /var/log/messages? [05:19] I can't see some flash sites ( http://www.infoq.com/presentations/nitobi-phonegap ). 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 idea? [05:19] dsnyders: checking... [05:20] duno owen, but are you sure its only your computer? [05:21] miguelonnnn: what do u mean? it ok on my other ubuntus machines? [05:21] dsnyders: every 20 minutes, there is output as "--MARK--", 7 entries. only other output is system restart [05:21] miguelonnnn, owen1 that site works for me. === bullgard is now known as bullgard4 === ubuntu_ is now known as wckdkl0wnb === wckdkl0wnb is now known as wckdkl0wn [05:22] gwildor: miguelonnnn works on my other machines. [05:22] dsnyders: in /var/log/messages I mean [05:22] öäå [05:22] biggleswirth, the --mark-- marks are there to let you know that the machine is still running (at least on the whole). [05:22] gwildor: miguelonnnn how do i trouble shoot this issue? [05:22] eh! [05:22] ops [05:22] Hello, I'm having a problem with my wireless. I recently reinstalled ubuntu 9.04, and last install, it automatically installed the wireless driver. Now, I don't know if it's installed, but I can't get it active either way. [05:23] Does anyone know how to fix this? [05:23] BeWop you can test this [05:23] ok sry then i can't help anymore owen :( [05:23] well, can you tell me the url? i may try it on my xubuntu netbook [05:23] dsnyders: ok, I think this started when I installed bind9 to try to set up local dns. I uninstalled bind9 earlier and restarted the system, but the connection drop still happened... [05:24] RHorse: What am I testing? [05:24] miguelonnnn: http://www.infoq.com/presentations/nitobi-phonegaphttp://www.infoq.com/presentations/nitobi-phonegap [05:24] biggleswirth, when you say the connection drops, what do you mean? [05:24] biggleswirth, can you ping the server?> [05:24] bewop drop to a terminal and pastebin your ifconfig and iwconfig results [05:24] miguelonnnn: http://www.infoq.com/presentations/nitobi-phonegap [05:24] ok brb [05:24] just w8 a minute [05:24] RHorse ok, hold on === lipsin_ is now known as lipsin [05:25] dsnyders: i can't ping it from other machines on the network, though the ip address for the server still shows as reserved in the DHCP table of my router [05:25] miguelonnnn: i know it's only this laptop's issue. [05:25] RHorse: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/266456/ [05:26] dsnyders: also, ifconfig on the server still shows the correct ip address on eth1, as leased from the router [05:27] bewop do you know the essid of your router? [05:27] RHorse: How can I find this? [05:27] biggleswirth, are you able to ping the router from the server? [05:27] hi i'm back, it works perfect at mine [05:28] Is there anyone who is using ubuntu9.10? [05:28] RHorse: or can I just not get it? [05:28] must be your computer owen [05:28] windy: I am [05:28] bewop it should be with your router printed material. If not, you can type iwlist wlan0 scanning and look at the output. [05:28] So, if I have an ATI Radeon X1200 (the kind that fglrx doesn't work for anymore) is there still any chance of getting working 3d acceleration? [05:28] I'm using the radeonhd driver [05:28] dsnyders: haven't tried that, I will have to wait for the issue to happen again in order to test that unfortunately [05:28] RHorse: wlan0 isn't a command [05:29] miguelonnnn: i know, but how do i troubleshoot this? [05:29] type iwlist wlan0 scanning [05:29] alex_c: try the radeon driver [05:29] dsnyders: I am not sure what triggers the problem [05:29] BeWop,I find that the empathy is not working properly,what about yours? [05:29] @bastid_raZor radonhd works better [05:29] windy: mine works fine [05:30] biggleswirth, unfortunately, I'm going to have to close down now. My eyes are starting to close on their own. [05:30] alex_c: then you know you can get 3d working already.? [05:30] bastid_raZor still, how do I make the 3D magic happen [05:30] oh,THX [05:30] RHorse: it says: "Failed to read scan data : Resource temporarily unavailable" [05:30] dsnyders: ok, no problem, you've given me some ideas. thanks for your help :) [05:30] bastid_raZor how do I get GLI goin' [05:30] !botsnack [05:30] or whatever [05:30] Yum! Err, I mean, APT! [05:31] alex_c: are you trying to use compiz? [05:31] sharperguy: lol, where did you find that ? [05:31] biggleswirth, You may wish to look at your /var/log/dmesg while you're poking around. [05:31] bastid_raZor yes [05:31] bewop try typing sudo iwconfig wlan0 [05:31] dsnyders: ok, will do, thanks [05:31] alex_c: which version of ubuntu? [05:31] g'night all! [05:31] bastid_raZor Jaunty - when I've tried it, the screen whites out [05:31] bewop now try the iwlist command again [05:32] anyone have a chance to help me with my sound problem, i was out for 5 min [05:32] bastid_raZor I turned on compositing in my xorg config [05:32] arrr , sorry but i forgot what do i do to install flashplasyer to Firefox.... [05:32] RHorse: That didn't work. If it helps, on my last install, it told me to install drivers to get the card working, but on this install, it didn't work. Same install CD. [05:33] alex_c: for me the radeonhd driver didn't work. i have the same card as you. using radeon driver compiz and 3d works [05:33] bewop which card? [05:33] bastid_raZor radeon didn't seem to detect my monitor settings - is there a way to fix that? [05:33] RHorse: broadcom 802.11 b/g wlan [05:34] bewop do you have an ethernet wire attached? [05:34] RHorse: Yes [05:35] alex_c: settings as in resolution? [05:35] bastid_raZor exactly [05:35] BeWop try typing sudo iwconfig ath0 [05:36] then try iwlist ath0 scanning [05:36] no such device [05:36] alex_c: you would have to add them to xorg.conf to force resolutions. but what resolution is it not allowing? is it on a laptop? [05:36] RHorse: no such device and interface doesn't support scanning [05:36] bewop, yes, it's prolly a driver issue [05:37] I know, but I don't know how to get that driver again [05:37] RHorse: I know, but I don't know how to get that one back. [05:37] #hamradio [05:37] bastid_raZor yeah it's a laptop that's 13whatever by 768 - radeonhd picks it up no problem [05:38] bewop restricted wireless driver? Not in the software repo gui thingy? [05:38] bastid_raZor here's my lspci on it: ATI Technologies Inc RS780M/RS780MN [Radeon HD 3200 Graphics] [1002:9612] [05:38] RHorse: Possibly. How do I check that? [05:39] bastid_raZor I just got this machine today, so I think the hd driver is what I want [05:39] bewop it should be under the menu system somewhere [05:39] RHorse Synaptic? [05:39] yes. === _aleX-xx is now known as aleX-xx [05:40] Or system - restricted drivers or something... [05:40] RHorse Hardware Drivers? [05:41] RHorse AH [05:41] Found it [05:41] Thanks a ton [05:41] BeWop what is the model of that card? [05:41] RHorse I found the screen that I saw earlier [05:41] It's the driver [05:41] RHorse This'll fix it, thanks a lot [05:41] bewop HIW! [05:42] RHorse Oh, and it's BCM43xx if you were woundering [05:42] alex_c: add a modeline to xorg.conf ..i'm guessing 1280x800 is the highest the radeon driver will see? [05:42] alex_c: yeah.. that isn't the X1200 card you said earlier.. [05:42] RHose, thanks and see ya [05:43] bastid_raZor is there no way to do compiz with radeonhd? [05:43] bastid_raZor I thought they were mostly the same [05:43] alex_c: that i don't know. i'm looking in the community docs now. [05:44] bastid_raZor my hunch is that it is incompatible with fglrx because I installed it and it didn't work - then again I bought the machine today === Alive_and_Here is now known as Until_It_Sleeps [05:44] bastid_raZor it's an acer aspire 5517 [05:44] bewop google gives 960,000 results for BCM43xx ubuntu drivers lol [05:45] alex_c: i have the 5515 .. look at this page. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver it includes the HD driver on that page. === nabeel is now known as Guest85024 [05:47] bastid_raZor so I nominally have the X1200 but the hd driver says otherwise [05:47] bastid_raZor should I just hack out my own xorg.conf, then? [05:47] and use radeon [05:48] alex_c: lspci tells you that you do not have the X1200 card. even when i had the radeonhd driver isntall it didn't change what card was detected. [05:49] alex_c: VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS690M [Radeon X1200 Series] is the card i have. [05:49] hm [05:49] bastid_raZor which driver are you using? [05:49] alex_c: radeon [05:49] according to http://www.geekwithlaptop.com/acer-aspire-5517-notebook I have that as well [05:50] maybe it's the HD driver misreading my chipset? [05:50] alex_c: from my understanding lspci doesn't care what driver you have but lookks at the hardware.. try sudo lshw and see what that gives for your card. [05:52] how to tell gnome to resize all 4 windows, so it fit nicely on my screen, as 4 regions?

[06:18] Shoe: only viable method is to run it through a virtual machine running windows (that is, if you want to sync your music).. [06:18] Can one do the same advanced operations using the DVD as with the 'alternate' CD? [06:18] Shoe: vbox [06:18] whats vbox? [06:18] virtualbox [06:18] Shoe: are you using wine's own repository? [06:18] I have no idea [06:19] I dont even know what that means [06:19] Shoe: sudo echo "deb http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt jaunty main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade # then try again. === asd_ is now known as Guest22716 [06:19] hi [06:19] replace jaunty with whatever you're running [06:19] credobyte" problem is I don't know how to reach the /home directory via cli or gui using the livecd... I only seem to be able ot get to the one for the live cd. [06:19] im mohammed [06:19] what? What am I running? [06:19] what version of ubuntu [06:20] 9.04 [06:20] okay [06:20] yes, that's jaunty [06:20] just put 9.04? [06:20] so [06:20] leave as is? [06:20] yes [06:20] credobyte: problem is I don't know how to reach the /home directory via cli or gui using the livecd... I only seem to be able ot get to the one for the live cd. [06:20] put everything up to the # symbol? [06:20] Is there a way to get open office spreadsheets to print without the "sheet 1" at the top? [06:21] yes [06:21] sudo echo "deb http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt jaunty main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade # [06:21] shoe... in a terminal... [06:21] sudo echo "deb http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/ main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade # [06:21] bash: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list: Permission denied [06:21] I did, and copied the above with ctrl+c in a terminal, which you cant do [06:22] so I ended up pasting what I copied earlier [06:22] Shoe: eh... then "sudo mkdir /etc/apt/sources.list.d" first [06:22] chase@chase-desktop:~$ sudo mkdir /etc/apt/sources.list.d [06:22] [sudo] password for chase: [06:22] mkdir: cannot create directory `/etc/apt/sources.list.d': File exists [06:22] chase@chase-desktop:~$ [06:22] Shoe: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:23] how to I have gcc compile a C program into a plain executable(not a.out) [06:23] Tekk: man gcc tells you "gcc -o hello hello_world.c" [06:23] Tekk: need a -o option [06:23] Tekk: gcc input.c -o output [06:23] Shoe, kahen: echo "deb http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt jaunty main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list [06:23] thanks, I tried that but it had an issue. [06:23] wanted to make sure I was right :P [06:24] Tekk: what issues you had ? [06:24] says the argument to -o is missing [06:24] root@openwrt:~$ alias [06:24] less='more' [06:24] still does btw [06:24] Tekk: it can't be missing .. "-o output" [06:24] Flannel, [06:25] what did you want me to put in the terminal there? [06:25] Tekk: gcc version ? [06:25] how do i use a partition manager in LUBUNTU [06:25] Tekk: gcc -o hello hello.c -W -Wall --pedantic [06:25] Shoe: echo "deb http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt jaunty main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list [06:25] 4.2.4 [06:25] the whole thing all at once? [06:25] byerley: yes there is [06:25] because that did absolutely nothing [06:25] Shoe: yeah. That'll add the wine repository to your sources [06:25] Shoe: In linux, no news is good news [06:25] Shoe: btw, you can paste just fine into gnome-terminal. ctrl+shift+v pastes [06:26] any partition manager in LUBUNTU [06:26] ? [06:26] it didn't say it did anything, it just gave me the option to type something else [06:26] legend2440: could you enlighten me please? :) [06:26] nareshpunia: We don't handle Lubuntu, so I don't know what they use. Try #lubuntu [06:26] same lubuntu [06:27] Shoe: silence = success. that's expected behaviour for unixy commandline programs [06:27] kahen, I've only done ctrl+ before, so I didn't know about ctrl+shift+, and have just been using rightclick+copypasta [06:27] okay, now what? [06:27] sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [06:27] flannel: Do I need to install a partition manager [06:27] shoe: that should get you the newest version of wine at pretty much all times [06:28] my install has stopped at "installing GRUB boot loader" can i do this manually [06:28] byerley: open file >page preview then right click on page and choose Page Layout choose Header tab and unmark Header on [06:28] nareshpunia: If you don't want to modify your partitions, then no, you don't really need one. [06:28] legend2440: ah, thanks much [06:29] Shoe: then try running the itunes installer with wine again after the update. if that doesn't work... well... hope for a newer version of wine to work better with it. or use a virtual machine as someone else suggested [06:29] itunes doesn't work anyway <: [06:29] byerley: your welcome [06:29] kahen, what's a virtual machine? [06:30] the gcc -o hello hello.c..... thing worked [06:30] gave me an error but if added the normal exe [06:30] not exe >.< [06:30] executable [06:31] !virtualbox | shoe [06:31] shoe: virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from the package 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [06:32] what does it do? [06:32] oh wait nevermind [06:32] still not working [06:32] Tekk: Define "still not working". [06:32] Shoe: if iTunes is that important to you, then Linux probably is not for you. [06:32] Tekk: What are you doing? [06:33] Shoe: a virtual machine allows you to run more than one OS on the computer at the same time. Each in isolated containers. [06:33] ah [06:33] I'm just messing around in EMACS mostly [06:33] I hit compile with the command gcc test.c -o [06:34] kahen, linux is a god send except for that one nagging detail. Seriously, it's been nothing but awesome. except for when it come to ipods [06:34] it gives me the error gcc: argument to '-o' is missing [06:34] "thing worked" and "gave me an error" are pretty much mutually exclusive when it comes to compiling code ya' know... [06:34] Tekk: Emacs is not gcc [06:34] yeah [06:34] as my compile command [06:34] Tekk: man emacs [06:34] I'm using gcc to compile this as the command in emacs [06:34] Tekk: man gcc [06:34] Tekk: yes. why could that POSSIBLY be?! i mean... it's not like it expects something after "-o"... eh... wait... yes it does [06:34] oh it does? [06:34] Tekk: seriously. read the error message. [06:35] mhm [06:35] after that I tried putting test.c after -o [06:35] also gave an error [06:35] Tekk: Then you've ruined your .c file [06:35] geirha: nah. i think gcc is smart enough not to overwrite source files with compiled programs [06:36] Tekk: trial and error is a really inefficient way of finding out how commands work [06:36] Tekk: Man, I'm sorry if I'm rude, but STOP BEING STUPID. People have told you several times what to do. Don't repeat the mistakes, READ what people write to you before doing the same stupid thing again! [06:36] tekk left btw [06:36] :0 [06:36] He dident even leave a tip. [06:37] reminded me a bit of users that are stumped by a "printer out of paper" error [06:37] kahen: Nope, just tried. The resulting executable is ./test.c :) [06:37] A slow learner with an attitude. No doubt he'll end up programming somewhere... [06:37] 'but i have plenty of paper on the shelf' [06:38] hi I did change my default keyboard language to arabic..and restarted..now I can not logon since the keyboard is typing in arabic so I can not type my username and pwd...I did try to boot into single user mode but the problem is I can not type in any commands since arabic letters are being displayed...GUI is GNOME [06:38] *sigh* [06:39] I need help with PulseAudio. [06:39] i cannot play dvd's in totem [06:39] vede: what's the problem? [06:39] lordnikon: can you play them in vlc? [06:39] "cannot read from source" [06:39] dont know [06:39] try it and see [06:40] I have a headset, an PulseAudio can hear it, but I can't get PulseAudio to change my headset to the default sink (I assume this is output) or default source. [06:40] I tried setting the default sink/source to "other" but I'm not sure what I should put as its name. [06:40] vede: are the headset phones on a different plug than the normal speakers? [06:40] It's a USB headset. [06:40] ah [06:40] but they work okay otherwise? [06:41] headphone+mic [06:41] Yeah, they're functional. [06:41] I can go to their settings, and PulseAudio can hear them fine. [06:41] so you're just trying to redefine the sink name so it makes more sense in the config? [06:42] No, I'm trying to make it so the headset is the sink and the source. [06:42] So I can use Skype. [06:42] gnea: no i cant [06:42] Preferably, I'd like to also know how to easily switch from standard speakers to headset. [06:43] vede: check this out: http://forum.skype.com/index.php?s=8403c3c8c181e55e5c1cb27c694dcae3&showtopic=411431&st=40&start=40 [06:43] lordnikon: okay, then you probably need to upgrade the libdvdread library. do you have a /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh file? [06:44] anybody running a dell inspiron 1501 by any chance? looking all over google for how to get to boot sequence to no avail ... [06:44] mikubuntu: F12? [06:45] i get into some windows boot manager but it doesn't seem to have a boot sequence option ,,, just asks to select os [06:45] mikubuntu: mmm, F12 should be done before the boot manager appears (like when the Dell screen is on) [06:45] gnea: yes [06:45] lordnikon: okay, run that: sudo sh /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh [06:46] lordnikon: after it does its thing, restart vlc or totem and try again [06:46] Is it possible to not have to use PulseAudio? [06:46] gnea, ok, trying something brb prolly [06:46] It seems like unnecessary hassle to me... [06:46] vede: you could stop pulseaudio and make sure to tell everything on the system to use alsa [06:47] gnea: still no dice [06:47] I don't know how to do that, or what it means. [06:47] lordnikon: with both? you made sure you explicitly closed both programs before trying either? [06:47] yes [06:47] lordnikon: can you mount the dvds? [06:47] Does PulseAudio rely on GNOME? [06:47] yes [06:47] I'm using xfce... [06:48] vede: no, it just needs a working alsa subsystem [06:48] How can I tell if I have that? [06:48] vede: cat /proc/asound/cards [06:48] vede: if there's something there, you're using alsa [06:48] Yeah, there's stuff there. [06:48] gnea: yes it mounts just fine [06:49] vede: not sure if you understand how it works... alsa is the main sound driver, and pulseaudio is just an application layer that goes between the sound device that alsa sets up and the other applications on the system [06:49] I assume I'm just getting the name wrong when I try to specify to PulseAudio what to use instead of the default... [06:49] lordnikon: and you can browse the files just fine? [06:49] gnea:yep [06:49] vede: hmm, I think you can change that i pavucontrol - have you tried that? [06:50] I can't use pavucontrol... [06:50] lordnikon: very odd... [06:50] vede: why not? [06:50] ERROR:pavucontrol.cc:574:void StreamWidget::setVolume(const pa_cvolume&, bool): assertion failed: (v.channels == channelMap.channels) [06:50] Aborted [06:50] gnea: it says cannot read from source [06:50] !pm | user_ [06:50] user_: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [06:51] I don't even know what pavucontrol is... [06:51] !invo pavucontrol [06:51] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [06:51] !info pavucontrol [06:51] vede: it's a GUI that allows you to control pulseaudio [06:51] pavucontrol (source: pavucontrol): PulseAudio Volume Control. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.9.7-1ubuntu3 (jaunty), package size 64 kB, installed size 376 kB [06:51] Hrm... [06:51] you can change the different output sinks and such there [06:51] just click on it and it does it [06:52] I can do that with PulseAudio, too, though. [06:52] But PulseAudio asks for a name. [06:52] And I have no idea how to get the name. [06:52] vede: is that GUI? [06:52] Yeah... [06:52] then it's probably pavucontrol... [06:52] PulseAudio Applet. [06:52] ah [06:52] not familiar with that one [06:52] Ugh. [06:53] vede: are you running Xubuntu, by chance? [06:53] No. [06:53] so just ubuntu with xfce then [06:53] But I AM using xfce instead of GNOME. [06:53] Yeah/ [06:53] ok cool [06:53] hey this is a noobish question i know but, does the ubuntu install cd have a way to fix grub on it, gonna install win7 over my vista tomorrow and just wanna make sure i dont need to take any other steps. I thought i could just pop the cd in after installation to fix the MBR so i have grub again. [06:53] vede: what's the output of the 'id' command? [06:53] ayathehusker: Yeah, [06:54] kk cool [06:54] !grub | ayathehusker [06:54] ayathehusker: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows?

[06:54] No. [06:54] I just installed Ubuntu, how would I get it so my sound is working? [06:54] yah i have most of my hds partitioned for linux thus all my data is here, thanks for the quick help didnt wanna lose my jaunty (love it!) [06:54] (I just installed Ubuntu yesterday.) [06:54] !w32codecs | lordnikon [06:54] lordnikon: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [06:55] !fat16 [06:55] Sorry, I don't know anything about fat16 [06:55] vede: ah ok - it's a commandline application that allows you to edit your group settings manually [06:55] So how can I put myself into the PulseAudio group? [06:56] vede: it's a careful process, so you have to make sure you do it right, otherwise you could screw the system up - do you feel confident in following my instructions to the exact letter? [06:56] >.> Yes? [06:56] vede: okay, in a terminal type this: sudo vigr === false- is now known as false [06:57] Could anyone help me with getting sound working? [06:57] Alright. [06:57] I have a list of things. [06:57] vede: you can use the arrow keys to scroll through the file - there should be some places where you'll see your username [06:57] gnea, fyi, we got booted [06:57] Yep. [06:57] mikubuntu: good [06:57] can someone tell me how I can make AMAROK the default music player in gnome? [06:58] vede: alright, if you scroll down, there should be 3 entries: pulse, pulse-access and pulse-rt [06:58] Found them. [06:59] vede: ok, if you are on the pulse line and press the 'end' key, it should jump to the end of the line [06:59] drunkncrew System->Preferences->Preferred Apps [06:59] Mmhmm. [07:00] Multimedia and chose your multimedia player. Doesn't seem to be just audio specific, though. [07:00] vede: now, press the 'a' key to enter "insert/append mode" (this will allow you to make changes - this is the part where you need to be careful!) then type in your username (vede, I"m guessing) [07:00] Uh... [07:01] I'm guessing pressing enter after typing "vede" wasn't the right thing to do? [07:01] vede: so it should look a bit like this: pulse:x:123:vede [07:01] vede: correct, backspace once should fix it [07:01] pulse:x:114:vede [07:01] pulse-access:x:115: [07:01] alright [07:01] But... [07:02] There's three blank lines between them. [07:02] vede: press ESC [07:02] :/ [07:02] arcorian - thanks for the help [07:02] Doesn't do anything. [07:02] No prob. [07:02] vede: move the cursor so it's on the first blank line [07:02] vede: it does - trust me :) [07:03] Alright, cursor on the first blank line, and I pressed ESC [07:03] vede: okay, now press the 'd' key twice and ONLY twice. does that delete the blank line? [07:03] No. [07:03] vede: what does it do? [07:03] Wait! [07:03] It deleted one! [07:03] good. [07:03] I pressed D twice and one line went away. [07:04] vede: make sure it's lowercase d [07:04] Vi basics day! :)? [07:04] Dr_Willis: bingo ;) [07:04] Okay... [07:04] I know have pulse pulse-access [07:04] If I want to delete the blank line, the cursor should be ON it, correct? [07:04] I can't seem to get my wireless connection to work on this laptop. I can see my SSID and I've entered the WEP key with the KDE network manager, but when I try to switch to it with the kwifimanager, it won't let me switch to it. it's greyed out. [07:04] vede: okay, now do 'd' 'd' again to delete the other blank line [07:04] vede: correct. [07:04] I found a console/cli editor that was a clone of theold dos editor but cant recall its name. :) [07:05] woooah. installed pavucontrol to see how individual volume control per process works (it's pretty sweet actually). but... 100MB memory usage?! for a volume control?!! [07:05] Whew, okay. [07:05] Now it looks like it was originally. [07:05] Where do I find the C:/ Drive while in Ubuntu? [07:05] Should I add myself to pulse-access pulse-rt as well? [07:05] vede: excellent! now, onto the pulse-access line - press the 'end' key to jump to the end again, and press 'a' to enter the input mode, type 'vede' and press ESC [07:05] Darkebrz: its not called that in Ubuntu. its just / [07:06] Darkebrz: also i think you mean C:\ not C:/ [07:06] Yeah :P [07:06] Darkebrz, do you mean a seperate Windows partition, or are you just looking for Ubuntu's main drive? [07:06] Im looking for My Documents folder [07:06] pulse:x:114:vede [07:06] pulse-access:x:115:vede [07:06] pulse-rt:x:116:vede [07:07] Darkebrz, look under the Places menu, top left of your Ubuntu desktop. One of the automounted partitions should be your Windows partition [07:07] vede: very good. now, press ESC... then type :w and press enter [07:07] Uh... [07:07] vede: ? [07:07] Okay. [07:08] vede: :w writes the file. [07:08] I pressed ESC, did :w and then pressed enter. [07:08] Everything seems fine. [07:08] Hi guys [07:08] vede: okay, now type :q and press enter [07:08] vede: :q quits [07:08] Now I'm back at the terminal/ [07:09] . [07:09] vede: now, type the following: id vede and enter [07:09] I install ubuntu now.. and I need code in terminal to update my OS like jave and flash [07:09] uid=1000(vede) gid=1000(vede) groups=1000(vede),4(adm),20(dialout),24(cdrom),46(plugdev),106(lpadmin),114(pulse),115(pulse-access),116(pulse-rt),121(admin),122(sambashare) [07:09] Gnea, not sure what you're walking vede thru, but nano might be an easier choice of text editor for next time :) [07:09] I like 'mcedit' [07:09] Gnea: sorry to interrupt but would gksudo gedit /etc/group work to edit that file? [07:09] any one???!!!! [07:10] Madpilot, legend2440: vigr is the secure way of doing it. any other method could easily jeapordize the system. [07:10] hitman32: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [07:10] Gnea, fair enough. I missed the first part, wasn't sure which config file you were getting him to do surgery on. [07:10] Ugh, I just can't find me C:\ drive [07:10] yes thankx [07:11] Darkebrz, it won't be called C [07:11] I'm having a problem with my wifi - It has been working fine with a 40bit WEP key RT2870 Wireless is the card. Now it cycles and after a minute or two it will prompt for the key again. I've tried all 4 keys and selected the appropriate slot. it doesn't appear to connect to any encrypted AP. I tried from command line to manually set info via iwconfig but the dhclient always times out (i've noticed i have to change the mode from auto to [07:11] ad-hoc to make the changes then change the mode to managed to connect otherwise the settings wont stick) Any ideas? [07:11] Madpilot: no problem. he is having problems with pulseaudio so needed to make sure he's in the groups [07:11] What will it be called? [07:11] vede: now you just need to logout and login of XFCE [07:11] server abjects [07:11] Darkebrz, it should be one of the 'media' partitions in the middle section of the Places menu [07:11] Darkebrz, are you after C:\ on a Windows partition, or your Ubuntu home directory? [07:12] can anyone help me get my wireless working? [07:12] vede: er, to XFCE [07:12] Probably C:\ On Windows === RootChaos is now known as RootChaos[h] [07:12] Okay, logging out/in now. [07:12] !wireless | numb3rs1x (please follow this guide - if you have any problems with it, please let us know what they are) [07:12] numb3rs1x (please follow this guide - if you have any problems with it, please let us know what they are): Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [07:12] Has anybody thought of testing ck's BFS scheduler on ubuntu ? [07:13] Darkebrz, separate partitions will for sure be under Places - what do you see when you open that Places menu? [07:13] where is consolefonts/ dir on ubuntu? [07:13] Quiznos: type this: locate consolefonts [07:13] where is kbd/consolefonts/ dir on ubuntu? [07:14] it's not my sys; helping guest [07:14] Quiznos: tell your guest to type: locate consolefonts [07:14] k [07:14] Home Folder, Desktop, Music, Pictures, etc. Then Computer, a CD I have in and a 7.5 GB Media (no idea what this is). Then its just some network stuff and search [07:15] Darkebrz, the 7.5 GB Media is probably your windows partition [07:15] Alright, um... [07:15] There's something majorly wrong here. [07:15] Darkebrz, does that look like the right size for your Windows partition? [07:15] vede: what's that? [07:15] 7.5GB? [07:15] I don't have top or bottom taskbars anymore. [07:15] ?! [07:15] !panels > vede [07:15] vede, please see my private message [07:15] It is definitely not my Windows partition [07:15] bazhang: he's in XFCE [07:16] Er [07:16] Wait [07:16] It has to be... [07:16] But if it is, then it is REALLY lacking [07:16] Darkebrz, Ubuntu will auto-mount any partition it finds, so it should be your Windows part [07:16] vede: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1769745 [07:17] or a recovery partition. [07:17] vede: alt-f2 should allow you to run firefox [07:18] YAY [07:18] I have taskbars again. [07:18] (I can just click on the link...) [07:18] Then where are all my folders? The only thing that lends itself to being my Windows partition are a few files [07:18] Hello, I'm having issues with my wireless card. As it does say the driver was installed, and the card is online, it doesn't detect any wireless networks. Any known fixes to this? [07:18] hello everyone, I'm having problem configuring sound on my ubuntu 9.04. I have sound playing movie and music, but when i log on the web ( you tube,ovguide..etc) there is no sound!!!can anyone please help me. Thanks [07:18] f [07:19] vede: cool. I have to go in a sec, is pavucontrol working? [07:19] Darkebrz: whats the output of "sudo fdisk -l"? can you put it on paste.ubuntu.com ? [07:19] ERROR:pavucontrol.cc:574:void StreamWidget::setVolume(const pa_cvolume&, bool): assertion failed: (v.channels == channelMap.channels) [07:19] Aborted [07:19] speaking of pavucontrol - take a look at this: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=474743 [07:20] pavucontrol is _seriously_ not ready for mass usage as far as i can tell === Until_It_Sleeps is now known as Until_It|Sleeps [07:20] http://paste.ubuntu.com/266488/ [07:20] vede: hmmm... check /etc/pulse/daemon.conf for default-sample-channels [07:20] kahen: that's a redhat but, not an ubuntu bug [07:21] kahen, that'd be why it's still in Universe, I assume [07:21] ubottu: I've been through the manual. I've got my SSID configured and the correct WEP key in place. [07:21] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [07:22] default-sample-channels=2 [07:22] vede: is that commented? [07:22] Gnea: i can confirm that bug is on ubuntu as well. just run pavucontrol and open up top while you play something. PA uses a ton more cpu [07:22] I don't think so. [07:22] maco: Does that help? [07:22] kahen: has there been a bug filed for it? [07:22] Wait, yes, it has a semi-colon in front of it. [07:23] okay, then yes, it's commented out === on0bi is now known as on0bi__ [07:23] Everything is commented out except default-fragments=8 and default-fragment-size-msec=10 [07:23] Darkebrz: /dev/sda2 is your windows [07:23] Darkebrz, that's the only output from the command? Odd. That's only showing one big partition and what looks like a recovery partition === on0bi__ is now known as on0bi_ [07:24] Darkebrz: is ubuntu not installed? or is it a wubi install? [07:24] Oh, its a wubi install === bullgard is now known as bullgard4 [07:24] vede: looks like someone else had the same problem a couple days ago, you should post a reply with your error as well: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7895300 [07:24] That may have been important? [07:24] hello. grep '"http://[^(domain.com/)]' /var/log/apache2/domaincom.log | php ./urldecode.php outputs ? in place of decoded letters the php script is thouh echo ("ә"); in same php script works [07:24] Darkebrz: try "sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt" [07:25] Darkebrz, wubi evidently does things differently from a regular install. never used it myself... [07:25] Darkebrz: that should give you access to it in /mnt [07:25] vede: you'll reach a broader audience that way and have a more likely chance of getting it fixed right.... hmmm, i changed my default-fragment-size-msec = 5 didn't have that problem but it solved another problem... try it and see if it changes anything [07:25] Oh hey, I have that problem with volume control as well. [07:25] Madpilot: it means theres not ext2/3/4 partition, just the ntfs one so the wubi lives inside sda2 [07:26] maco, interesting. [07:26] vede: also, ask in #pulseaudio - they're a little slow to respond sometimes, but they are EXTREMELY knowledgable with it [07:26] I tried sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt once, and it didnt have any return, the second time === arcorion is now known as Arc_Orion [07:26] fuse: mount failed: Device or resource busy [07:26] vede: I've worked with them before, they are like, the masters of the universe when it comes to all things for pulseaudio [07:27] how do i make the geust account with no password? so that at login screen theres no password [07:27] On my Jaunty install, no mather if numlock is on or off, numpad doesn't work. Except on gdm on typing passwords. Any clue how can I fix that [07:27] ? [07:27] RichiV: impossible, there must be a password. just set it to something easy, like 'guest' or 'password' [07:28] Gnea: alright thanks [07:28] RichiV: you can enable autologin [07:28] Gnea: just gotta love how that bugzilla entry i linked was marked as "NOTABUG" despite pavucontrol causing PA to crash... yeah... that's not a bug alright. [07:28] FUCK [07:28] ActionParsnip: I'd rather not dude cause id rather have it easy to login i geuss [07:28] !ohmy | PrakharPrasadd [07:28] PrakharPrasadd: Please remember that all Ubuntu IRC channels share the same attitude of providing friendly and polite interaction with all users of all ages and cultures.

[07:29] RichiV: then make a new acount and have autologin use that, that will enable what you described [07:29] Ok [07:29] Everything on my "Windows partition" suddenly disappeared [07:29] Sorry [07:29] Darkebrz: whats the output of plain old "mount"? does it list /dev/sda2 as already mounted on /mnt? [07:30] Darkebrz: if so you should be able to "ls /mnt" and see your windows disk [07:30] PrakharPrasadd: please do not PM me. ask your question here. [07:30] ActionParsnip: im sorry i worded it wrong... i want it easy for anyone to log in easy to geust... i geuss i will just put a postit making geust account pw -> password... thanks.. i wanted to just verify [07:30] fuse: mount failed: Device or resource busy [07:30] What standard tool has ubuntu got that does the same as chkconfig on fedora type systems? [07:30] Oops [07:30] /dev/sda2 on /mnt type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,blksize=4096) [07:30] vede: alright, I'm out. good luck with that. [07:30] Darkebrz: ok so its already mounted [07:31] Well, ls /mnt sure looks like it [07:31] Darkebrz: now if you "ls /mnt" you should see the same thing as youd see with "dir C:\" on windows [07:31] Alright. Thanks for the help. Prolly the most help I've vever gotten on this channel. [07:31] RichiV: oh i see, makes sense. for security i'd use a different guest account name than "guest" [07:31] maco: Yep [07:31] what are the FileSystems Fedora Supports [07:31] ActionParsnip: Why is that? [07:31] RichiV: remember NOT to add it to the admin group [07:31] got a question for you all about the launchpad COD [07:31] PrakharPrasadd: ask in #fedora ? [07:31] ActionParsnip: dont woory i made it long ago when i was actually good at ubuntu [07:31] PrakharPrasadd: proberly the same as any other linux disrtos... [07:32] RichiV: "guest" is massively common and one of the first accounts to get attacked, if you use ssh you will have halved the attackers work by providing a known username [07:32] PrakharPrasadd: fedora is linux so it the same OS [07:32] got a question for you all about the launchpad COD [07:32] ActionParsnip: Thanx for the tipoff, but i have nothing important really... only gov't documents which are higly classified.. ive said to much ;) [07:32] PrakharPrasadd, pretty sure Fedora has a channel on Freenode - try #fedora... [07:33] RichiV: tinfoil hat on nice an tight :D [07:33] anyone know about the launchpad COD [07:34] tone_red, man update-rc.d [07:34] baltadt, might want to try #launchpad [07:34] ty [07:34] ta [07:34] maco: Now how can I make it so I can look through that partition? I intended to add some files to Audacious [07:35] tone_red, or sudo apt-get install chkconfig [07:35] Darkebrz: um you can copy some files into wubi or you can ...hrm i guess you could setup /etc/fstab to automatically mount /dev/sda2 in a certain spot and tell audacious how to find those files for its library every time you boot === kb is now known as Guest74506 [07:36] i downloaded files from rapidshare, now i want to extract them. is there a way i can extract and combine the files in jaunty? [07:36] maco: Do you know why this partition is so hidden? [07:37] Darkebrz: its not... [07:37] Newbie__: what sort of files? tar.gz, rar, zip [07:37] Darkebrz: showed up in fdisk just fine [07:37] Hey, what is the program that did shorting of names inside a text file ? [07:37] .rar [07:37] Hm [07:37] Newbie__: sudo apt-get install rar unrar [07:37] Newbie__: then you can run: rar x or fileroller will allow you to do it in gui [07:38] * Arc_Orion hugs apt-get. [07:38] anyone know how to fix sounds in programs run in wine? [07:38] hi. in find() how do write if i want a limit like this limit 10,5? [07:38] Anyone knows the answer to my question ? It should be some simple command to just run ... but i don't remember on what would be the program now. [07:38] Darkebrz: i dont know how windows hierarchy goes but i imagine music is something like /mnt/Users/Documents and Settings//My Documents/My Music/ ? [07:38] MADAR CHOD [07:39] :limits 10,5? [07:39] Yes, that is exactly it [07:39] Thanks [07:39] jasa: how do you mean "shortening of names"? [07:39] MotherFucker [07:39] Darkebrz: O_O i still remembered it? [07:39] !language | PrakharPrasadd [07:39] PrakharPrasadd: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [07:39] ActionParsnip, like i have text file with first line of "b" and then the second line is "a" so how i make them in order. [07:39] I think you did [07:39] You mean you want to alphabetize the lines? [07:39] jasa: oh you want the fiile alphabetically sorted. [07:40] Yes [07:40] PrakharPrasadd: you've been warned two or three times now [07:40] i have installed but dnt knw how to go about it [07:40] PrakharPrasadd, no more warnings. Swear again and you're out of here for 48hrs. Clear? [07:40] hey guys, i have a question... how do i make Firestarter start as soon as i log in? [07:40] jasa: sort [07:41] isnt there a file i edit [07:41] Very Very Sorry Very Very Sorry [07:41] drygrain: you dont need to, its a config gui for iptables, it doesnt have to run all the time [07:41] Yes seems so ... memory fault of user, tried actually short. -.- [07:41] no its a firewall [07:41] jasa: sort -r reverses the order [07:41] <|pisecx|> Hi. Can you, please, give me a link for documentation "How to connect ubuntu to windows active directory" ? [07:41] : i have done the sudo part but dont know how to go about extracting [07:41] STFU [07:41] drygrain: no, its the config too only [07:41] Newbie__: rar x [07:41] Newbie__: right click the rar file and choose Extract Here [07:42] well i want it to run at startup [07:42] in the system tray [07:42] drygrain: ok thats fine, jst so you know [07:42] what do i do? [07:42] i guess no one knows the answer [07:42] it seems to me that its managing an active firewall right now [07:42] ok [07:42] if i write some of my own binaries, where in the filesystem should i put them? [07:42] drygrain: add a new startup item that launches it, if it won't tray then install alltray then change your startup item to read alltray firestarter [07:43] streblo: /usr/local/bin? i usually add $HOME/local/bin to my $PATH and put them there [07:43] how do i add a new startup item [07:43] streblo: /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin === root is now known as Guest77908 [07:43] thanks ActionParsnip and maco [07:43] drygrain: system -> prefs or system -> admin [07:43] streblo, $HOME/bin works too - whatever you add to your $PATH, basically [07:44] streblo: if you run: echo $PATH [07:44] maco, streblo: ~/bin will be automatically added to your path if it exists [07:44] streblo: you can put it in any of those folders and it will be universally available, you can also add and remove from that list [07:44] Flannel: COOL! [07:44] guys anyone experiencing fan speed problems with acer 5315 ? (overheating) [07:45] i knew that anything in my path would work. i guess what i was wondering what the preferred place to put them was. [07:45] * Growlithe is away: Buh-bye, be back soons! [07:45] got a firebird question...anybody here know or use firebird? [07:45] Flannel: oh wait...but...boo...then that means id have a ~/lib and ~/share and blah blah....i like the ~/local/bin method better. more tidy. [07:45] streblo: For your own personal use, ~/bin, for everyone on your computer, /usr/local/* is the realm you put stuff [07:45] ok, thanks Flannel [07:45] Zachk18: wow thats a blast from the past [07:45] Zachk18: is it still available? [07:45] what do you mean? [07:45] drygrain: system -> preferences -> session [07:46] Zachk18: firebird as in the browser by mozilla? [07:46] Zachk18: firebird is the old name for firefox, right? [07:46] Zachk18: like version 0.5? [07:46] is there anyway in ubuntu to upload *.mp3 files to an ipod touch?

I wouldnt bother with it and install firefox-3.0 or 3.5 [07:47] ubottu, rockbox [07:47] rockbox is an open source firmware replacement for audio players from Archos, iRiver, Apple (iPod), and iAudio. See http://www.rockbox.org/ to get started! [07:47] firebird is a dbms software [07:48] ActionParsnip: Firebird is http://www.firebirdsql.org/ (the reason Firefox isn't called Firebird anymore) [07:48] Zachk18: namespace collisions! [07:48] Flannel, thank you I will try it :) [07:48] Flannel: i see [07:48] looks like we upset him/her [07:49] oh well [07:49] :D\ [07:49] ok parsnip [07:49] u say firestarter isnt a firewall, but rather a firewall config tool? [07:50] drygrain: you got it [07:50] drygrain: yes, you dont need to have it running all the time. The only thing you gain is you will see when it blocks an "attack" [07:50] drygrain: iptables was running from the first reboot after install [07:50] How do I print only odd pages on evince, for example? [07:50] so how do i protect my computer? [07:51] oh i se [07:51] e [07:51] drygrain: you have a great many services running to make your system run, they dont all have systray icons [07:51] ok...i'm back [07:51] ah ok :) [07:51] drygrain: thats why i told you what i told you. there is method in my madness ;) [07:51] well i like having control of them [07:51] does anyone know how i can get two apps to have sound at the same time? right now, i have to close amarok before watching youtube videos [07:51] Theres secure.. then theres paranoid. :) Then theres making things worse by trying security gimmics... [07:51] so firebird...can't get it to work on ubuntu...any ideas? [07:51] apache2 and php5 i can get to work...but not firebird [07:52] i want to run something like wmii (http://wmii.suckless.org/) as my window manager, is there an easy way to do that?

[07:59] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo#Blocking%20Traffic [07:59] Zachk18: use: http://ppa-search.appspot.com/ to search for firebird, see what PPAs turn up [07:59] ok... [07:59] awaad: some one just mentioned 'recordmydesktop' it has a gui front end.. check your package manager [07:59] awaad: have you installed it? [07:59] http://ppa-search.appspot.com/search?search_key_word=firebird [08:00] Dr_Willis: I've already tried all Pulse like they said on the forums, and it didnt work. I'll try the Alsa one now, but do i choose Digital or Analog (theres two options for Alsa) [08:00] screw firestarter, i didn't want a firewall, with a possibility that it would block traffic to my server since i don't want to get intimitate with the program, I just wanted to simply add a rule to the iptables to block a certain IP [08:00] Dr_willis, popey: Yes I installed recordmydesktop but I don't know how to open it's gui I can't find it in the applications menu [08:00] awaad: yes gtk-recordmydesktop is gui frontend for recordmydesktop [08:00] Dr_Willis: I see another option now, which is just 'ALSA'. Do I choose that one? [08:00] dumont...firestarter is not a firewall...it's simply a firewall manager === mario_ is now known as dude666 [08:01] gareim_: twiddle with them and see.. I havent had any sound issues in ages. [08:01] Zachk18: ok then use that link to browse through each ppa to see what packages they hold [08:01] Dr_Willis: Ok, will do. I'll let you know in a bit [08:02] ah...what exactly am i looking for? [08:02] Zachk18: some of the links may have multiple PPAs which you will need to inspect, when you find a PPA you can add it to /etc/apt/sources.list [08:02] Zachk18: firestarter wasnt it? [08:02] ah....yeah [08:02] awaad: you can actually run recordmydesktop from the command line, its quite flexible that way... I wrote a couple of blog posts about it recently. see http://popey.com/blog/ [08:03] Zachk18: so try find mentions of firebird in those PPAs [08:03] awaad: gtk-recordmydesktop is gui frontend for recordmydesktop [08:03] Zachk18: for example, click the bhavi ppa (first result in the ppa search) [08:04] i have a problem, my pidgin im lost its sounds [08:04] Firestarter's a GUI interface anyway. [08:04] AnxiousNut: that is good :) [08:04] dumont, did you check the wiki? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo [08:04] AnxiousNut: the sound annoys me [08:04] popey: wow very nice blog [08:04] legend2440: thanks === prince_j1mmys is now known as prince_jammys [08:05] i have recently bought a 500G USB harddisk for back up. i run a dual boot windows xp and linux. which format i should choose for formatting ntfs or vfat? [08:05] Zachk18: scroll down a little and you will see Personal Packagd archives. the dude has 5 in this case, you will need to click on those, read the contents then if its not there, chack the next one. Do the same for all the results of the ppa search [08:05] rsv: ntfs [08:05] phix: i use multiple workspaces i need it to notifies me + you can shut it down, in the tools menu last option [08:06] rsv: vfat is not robust enough [08:07] Dr_Willis: Alsa Digital, Alsa Analog, and ALSA don't work. Amarok doesn't have sound when I've got VLC open with a vid [08:07] sp ntfs is the most robust partition format to choose for dual boot systems [08:07] so ntfs is the most robust partition format to choose for dual boot systems? [08:07] rsv: its the most robust that windows can handle [08:07] okay [08:07] rsv, how large are the combined partitions you're backing up? [08:08] should i partition my usb backup harddisk into 2? [08:08] You might just choose to image the partitions. [08:08] how can i do that? [08:08] Well first, how much data are you backing up? [08:08] i have a 160GB and a 100GB backup to be taken [08:08] I take it one's Windows and one's Linux? [08:08] yes [08:09] i dont have time deleting all the crap stuff i have. so i want to take all that i have [08:09] rsv: use gparted or disk manager in windows [08:09] ok....so how do i install one? [08:10] Zachk18: you add the ppa address to your /etc/apt/sources.list file [08:10] Zachk18: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [08:10] ok [08:10] i also have one 250GB seagate harddrive [08:10] Zachk18: add the deb and deb-src lines, import the key, then run: sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get install [08:10] hello. how to make grep '"http://[^(domain.com/)]' /var/log/apache2/domaincom.log.1 >./1.txt to work? [08:10] i plan to use it first for backing up all the stuff [08:11] so i formatted it into ntfs entirely so that i can use entire usb harddisk [08:11] qdb: theres online 'regular expression tester/builders' you can try out to see whats not working withit. [08:12] it works [08:12] Dr_Willis, just [08:12] it pays to ask the actual question. :) [08:12] do not output to file [08:12] if i remove > ./1.txt [08:12] it outputs [08:13] hmm.. try just > 1.txt ? [08:13] I'm used to using Norton Ghost or Acronis for imaging. I'd recommend Clonezilla, but I've only ever used it once, rsv. [08:13] i tried [08:13] qdb: you can't negate a regex that way. [08:13] if it works, it works by accident [08:13] also echo ә >./1.txt do not work [08:13] !backup | rsv [08:13] hi, could someone tell me where i would be able to find linux-image-2.6.28-15-generic (2.6.28-15.51) ? i am getting 49 through apt, but the debug symbols i downloaded from http://ddebs.ubuntu.com/pool/main/l/linux/ are for 51? [08:13] rsv: 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 [08:14] okay - what is the easiest way of backing up [08:14] For the life of me i cannot get Firefox 3.5 to install on ubuntu - everything i do fails [08:14] Dr_Willis: I'm about to get some sleep, but before I go, can you tell me if the sound problem will be easily fixable, or will it require more advanced knowledge? [08:14] rsv: i use a cron'd cp job, it just copies the data as is to a firewire drive [08:15] :D [08:15] my rhythmbox and totem are working perfectly now [08:15] Polterge|st: wtg :D [08:15] on the highest audio settings too [08:15] and how can i change my keyboard behavior so that the shift-numpad keys work like they do in Windows [08:15] I made some config adjustments for pulse and now it is not stuttering at all [08:16] i cannot use cron - since i connect my usb harddisk once 15 or 30 days and take backup [08:16] before rhythmbox would not play at all [08:16] and I adjusted the /etc/pulse/daemon.conf file [08:16] and set auto respawn in the /etc/pulse/client.conf file [08:16] and in /etc/asound.conf I tweaked it a little bit [08:16] no problems with audio playback now [08:16] at all [08:16] rsv: as long as the destination exists the backup will succeed [08:17] Polterge|st: always nice to hear a happy ending [08:17] my pointer sometimes moves automatically. what can i do?????? [08:18] yeah I mean they have been doing improvements to the audio stuff but realistically their settings will not be optimum for a 1.2 ghz 512 mb ram machine [08:18] this would be an OK rule correct? i want to block this IP completely, iptables -A INPUT -s 91.199.22.61 -j DROP [08:18] with onboard intel audio [08:18] my pointer frequently moves automatically. what can i do?????? [08:18] gareim_: hard to tell. You could always try the latest alpha release and see if its fixed in the next release [08:18] mehedi: clean the underside of your mose and laser [08:18] ActionParsnip: :) i was just typing that. [08:18] hehe [08:19] Dr_Willis: try the quick fix first [08:19] ;) [08:19] its amazing how fine these new mice can be in their viewing [08:19] Dr_Willis: Ok, I'll wait till 9.10 is out and then I'll try it (but the problem has been following me since 8.10). Thanks for all the help! Night! [08:19] one dog hair, or so on in the wrong place... [08:19] !grub [08:19] GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [08:19] okay guys thank you [08:19] i will catch you later [08:19] bye [08:20] thankkkkkkkkkkks [08:20] Dr_Willis: score! [08:20] anything added to IPtables, starts working right away, or do I need to restart? [08:20] its now ok [08:20] mehedi: simple answers are usually the right ones [08:20] mehedi: clean the surface its running on too [08:21] mehedi: with something to actually clean it, not just a sleeve [08:21] how to redirect echo abc to file? [08:21] ok [08:21] dumont, should work right away. [08:21] qdb: if you want to match http:// but NOT http://domain.com, either use two greps or awk '/http:\/\// && !/http:\/\/domain.com' , or perl. [08:21] [^(domain.com)] is the same as [^()acdimno.] [08:22] qdb: echo abc > ~/file.txt [08:22] thanks, btw why does it take like 4 seconds for iptables -L to display INPUT, and then 4 secs to display OUTPUT added entry? [08:22] a single character that isn't any in the list [08:22] Make sure you save the config, as it says in the wiki. [08:22] do not work [08:22] qdb: if abc is a variable and you want its value use: echo $abc > ~/file.txt [08:22] it is string [08:22] 1.txt do not appear [08:22] qdb: if you have permission to write files in the current dir, it works. [08:22] qdb: or try: echo "abc" > ~/file.txt [08:23] ok [08:23] the look in your home dir. [08:23] dumont, to be honest, I dunno. I just looked it up. [08:23] i have permission and wirh quotes also do not work [08:24] qdb: what is the exact command? [08:24] bala: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/2.6.28-15.51/+build/1198058 [08:24] echo "abc" > ~/1.txt [08:24] does anyone run ubuntu in a vm on a windows host? what do you use? i can't get anything to work so far [08:24] the command that i need is much more complicated [08:24] qdb: if that "doesn't work", your system is broken. [08:24] hm [08:25] or your shell is not bash, or i don't know what. [08:25] CatEater: virtualbox works quite well. [08:25] qdb: cat ~/1.txt [08:26] it works! [08:26] abc [08:26] it better [08:26] but it is invisible in nautilus [08:26] qdb: refresh it or something [08:26] ok [08:27] refreshed [08:27] not there? [08:27] showed up [08:27] thank you [08:27] legend2440: thank you very much! [08:27] qdb: look at the other thing i said about your domain.com issue. [08:27] bala: your welcome [08:27] Shell basics. :) [08:27] you said it should not work [08:28] it works [08:28] ok, i have firefox 3.5 installed and i can run it from the bin folder, but the icon always starts the old firefox, how can i change this so that "firefox" is associated with the new application? [08:28] qdb: it really doesn;t. [08:28] i made it reading a regex manual [08:28] qdb: it may look like it works. [08:28] but it doesn't [08:28] i do not know it much [08:28] any one: i have a problem access the website with java [08:28] filistine, right-click on the icon, change the path [08:28] you or i can check in #regex ... [08:28] qdb: [^..] matches a SINGLE character that isn't in the list inside the [^ ] [08:28] filistine: drag/drop the shiitko icon from the menus to the desktop. [08:29] !ff3.5 [08:29] Firefox 3.5 Final is available for Jaunty by installing the package firefox-3.5 and firefox-3.5-gnome-support | FF3.5 is referred to as Shiretoko in your UI, see http://is.gd/1reB3 for an explanation | Hardy & Intrepid: http://is.gd/1jkNY [08:29] hm [08:29] qdb: so you're getting results, but not necessarily the ones you want. [08:29] how to make what i want then [08:29] qdb: if you want to match http:// but NOT http://domain.com, either use two greps or awk '/http:\/\// && !/http:\/\/domain.com' , or perl. [08:30] qdb: you cannot negate 'domain.com' without using fancy perl regexes, or two traditional greps, or the awk command there, or something else [08:30] Okay, when I'm using Windows, where can I find my Linux partition? [08:30] what do ubuntu users run it on? [08:30] in Pidgin i get the room list of yahoo but can not join, when i press join. [08:31] i can't find anything that runs it that costs less than $500 [08:31] in Pidgin i get the room list of yahoo but can not join, when i press join. [08:31] i have tried a few virtual machines that don't work [08:31] Darkebrz: you can install fs-driver and access it, i'm not sure it allows write access but i know it gives read [08:32] CatEater, Dr_Willis mentioned VirtualBox. [08:32] !seen sebsebseb [08:32] I have no seen command [08:32] in Pidgin i get the room list of yahoo but can not join, when i press join. [08:32] thank you [08:32] Arc_Orion: i can;'t get vbox to work though === antonio_ is now known as zombie_man [08:32] Arc_Orion: vbox does not show a display, ever [08:32] how do you change your name on here? the color i mean [08:33] CatEater: install it in your OS and tell it to mount the ISO as the cd drive, it will then boot from the ISO [08:33] in Pidgin i get the room list of yahoo but can not join, when i press join. [08:33] mehedi: what about a double click on the room name? [08:34] darkebrz: to access linux partition from windows try program ext2ifs [08:34] !ext2 [08:34] Thanks guys, i got it working :) [08:34] Sorry, I don't know anything about ext2 [08:34] !ext3 [08:34] ext3 is the default filesystem on Ubuntu, and the most popular on Linux. You can read/write from Windows to ext3 via http://www.fs-driver.org [08:34] firebird....ah shit [08:34] oops...sorry [08:34] does mencoder have a command to record video from capture cards [08:35] !language > Zachk18 [08:35] Zachk18, please see my private message [08:35] in Pidgin i get the room list of yahoo but can not join, when i press join. [08:35] in Pidgin i get the room list of yahoo but can not join, when i press join.double click does not work [08:36] mehedi: tried a double click on the room name instead of using the button? [08:36] ya. but does not work [08:37] it is possible to have multi update of java? [08:37] yahoo requires you to go to some web site, and enter some password/code normally befor it lets you join a room the first time [08:38] in Pidgin i get the room list of yahoo but can not join, when i press join.double click does not work [08:38] i thought pidgin launched a browser the first time you tried to Join. to enter that password.. then joining works. [08:38] prince_jammys, thank you, it was not correct [08:38] in Pidgin i get the room list of yahoo but can not join, when i press join.double click does not work [08:39] qdb: welcome. negating part of a regex is unpleasant. [08:39] !repeat | mehedi [08:39] mehedi: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [08:39] qdb: perl regexes have a way of doing it, but the Basic Regex and Extended Regex used by grep don't. [08:39] in Pidgin i get the room list of yahoo but can not join, when i press join.double click does not work [08:40] mehedi: there are no new usrs on the channel so asking the same questions only achieves the channel scrolling. please stop [08:40] hello all [08:40] how do I log in as root? [08:40] sorry......i just am freakin mad over trying to get firebird to work and it wont [08:40] uman: you dont [08:40] mehedi: pidgin normally launches a browser the first time you tried to Join. to enter a password.. then joining works. Try connectingto a yahoo chat via the browser. [08:41] ubottu, root | uman [08:41] uman: 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 [08:41] uman: use sudo and gksudo to get admin priveledges [08:41] uman: it makes your system a billion times more secure [08:41] ActionParsnip: I find it very difficult to believe that there is no way to set a root password in ubuntu [08:41] uman: there is but its not supported here [08:41] there is but i cant tell you [08:41] uman, you can, but there's no need, and it's not supported... [08:41] there is a way to set a root password... [08:41] who cares [08:41] uman: did u want to switch to root user? type: su root [08:42] switch user [08:42] uman: google for it ,its pretty easy [08:42] I didn't say I want to do it for any practical purpose [08:42] go to users/groups [08:42] err. use 'sudo -s' to get a root shell.. NOT su root [08:42] uman: you can use: sudo -i [08:42] I'm just curious [08:42] in administration [08:42] Zachk18: dont its not supported [08:42] do you want to login as root or something on your pc?\ [08:42] because that is possible..it's in the setting [08:43] Direct logging into X via GDM as root - is also disabled via gdm settings. [08:43] Dr_Willis: I believe "sudo -i" is the prefered way to become root, if one would have to [08:43] Zachk18: so are a lot of other destructive things but we dont support those either [08:43] hateball: -i or -s depends on your needs.. i forget when i use one or the other. [08:43] hateball: they are equal if no command is entered after -s [08:43] ActionParsnip: Ah right :) [08:44] you go to system/adminstration/login window and you can change to login as root ability...how is that not supported if it's there? [08:45] Zachk18, just because it's there doesn't mean it's even remotely a good idea [08:45] s/there/possible [08:45] Zachk18: its not necessary or required and is a VERY bad idea so we dont support it here [08:45] Zachk18: i agree with you [08:45] indus...you do? [08:45] ya [08:46] Zachk18: its possible to rm -rf /lib but you dont advise that do you (DO NOT use that command) [08:46] so me 'formating my system and erasing eveyrthing by mistake' "Is supported" because its doable? [08:46] <|Steve|> Did you really tell someone that setting a root password is not supported? [08:46] :) [08:46] ^ [08:46] Zachk18: its right there under users and groups, any average user will figure it out [08:46] !root [08:46] 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 [08:46] ok that's what i thought [08:46] I installed Kubuntu on top of Ubuntu, via synaptic. After playing, I prefer Ubuntu. How can I remove KDE again, since I cant untick the "task" in synaptic. [08:46] <|Steve|> sudo passwd *gasp* [08:46] !puregnome [08:46] 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 [08:46] its amazing how much one can accidently trash a system by just running a file manager as root. [08:46] WinterWeaver: ^ [08:46] i mean i have to if i want firebird to work do i not? because any documentation that i have so far found states to download it in root [08:47] |Steve|: stfu it's not supported! [08:47] Zachk18: also the devs of ubuntu whom arevery experienced engineers sat round and discussed this at length and decided it was a great idea to ave the account disabled. [08:47] thx maco [08:47] I think of it as a IQ test..if you know enough Linux to know that command.. then ya know enigh to know why its not a good idea [08:47] Zachk18: that sounds like some bad guides to me. [08:47] Dr_Willis: +1 [08:47] well for some things it's a good idea to have it [08:47] is it a bit odd that Ubuntu would take 8 minutes to duplicate a 16GB file? [08:47] Dr_Willis: those who come from red hat lineage wont take well to that advice [08:47] filistine: depends. command line or through a GUI? === David-T_ is now known as David-T [08:47] Dr_Willis: Do you really think knowing Linux commands is a measure of IQ? [08:47] filistine: no [08:47] Zachk18: if compiling stuff from source.. really only the 'sudo make install' command needs root access [08:47] anyways off topic [08:48] i used the GUI - copy and paste [08:48] yeah but it doesn't work for me [08:48] Dr_Willis: BBBB? [08:48] uman: yes. because you have to THINK about 'root has no password.. how to set it...' Thinking is key. [08:48] oops [08:48] very Windowsesque [08:48] Dr_Willis: Go impale yourself [08:48] 'think, learnm apply' [08:48] uman: i think that was "if you have sufficient IQ and know what rm does...then its obvious why that command is bad" [08:48] i mean it can install and i know how to use the terminal but it comes back with errors. [08:48] <|Steve|> Having a root password is not dangerous. [08:48] how is the chat red? [08:48] uman: oh wait i thought ou were referring to the rm command before [08:48] Zachk18: of course now everhting has gotten away from your actual problem [08:48] Dr_Willis: So I have lower IQ than you because I've never had occasion to change my password, so I didn't remember the passwd command from the top of my head? [08:49] |Steve|, no, but it's also not needed, and it's not how Ubuntu is set up [08:49] uman: from your attitude.. yes I think so. [08:49] |Steve|: eh.....remote attackers know that the username is root so they only have to guess password. default way they have to guess user & password [08:49] uman: nvm now, you got the hint [08:49] goodness people don't shoot eachother [08:49] maco: +1 [08:49] maco: +10 [08:49] <|Steve|> maco: Generally, ssh should disallow root. Of course, Ubuntu decided not to do that by default. [08:50] Zachk18: its stupid and people advising people how to do stupid things are equal [08:50] Dr_Willis: you are the one who has an attitude, saying I am less intelligent than you because I didn't remember the name of the command to change password in linux [08:50] oh so i'm stupid now [08:50] ActionParsnip1: can i name a root user with another name? or is that just like sudo? or escalating privileges for some user? [08:50] uman: did i point out you directly? Noo.. youa re the one that got all huffy.. [08:50] Zachk18: no just advising people how to significantly reduce their security really grinds my gears [08:50] Dr_Willis: I wonder if you have ever had sex in your life [08:50] masturbation doesn't count [08:50] indus: no, root will always be root [08:50] indus: sudo has a great many features other then 'letting people get root access' [08:50] ok mods please restore peace [08:50] uman: yea. you are showing your IQ now. [08:50] :) [08:51] thank you [08:51] cal down people [08:51] mm. i leave for a minute and the channel goes nuts. [08:51] Dr_Willis: please leave it [08:51] *m [08:51] indus: Ok :) [08:51] indus, you can give other uses sudo privs [08:51] oh goodness, will you all SHUT IT?! [08:51] :) [08:51] indus, users, not uses. gah. [08:51] indus: which is better vi or emacs? [08:51] :) [08:51] Dr_Willis: i prefer gedit :) [08:51] Dr_Willis, don't start that one up. :) [08:51] Dr_Willis: thats just as bad, nice move :D [08:51] notepad! [08:51] uman shut up [08:51] i preffer nano [08:52] in cli [08:52] <|Steve|> maco: So now people just have to get the user's username (probably some combination of letters in his name) and password and they have root rather than getting the user name, password and root password. [08:52] I recall finding a Clone of the old dos edit (text editor) command for linux But cant recall its name. anyone seen it? was on some live cd for some disrto i tested once. [08:52] i have a nerve missing in my brain which makes me difficult to type commands for vi [08:52] |Steve|: user & password versus password [08:52] hello [08:52] <|Steve|> maco: Once again, disable root ssh and that takes away that line of attack. [08:52] Dr_Willis: just use ed and experience the ingenuity of the '?' interface. [08:53] hey i'm sorry but having a root login is sometimes necessary because of file permissions [08:53] Chousuke: i actually had to use ed quite a bit years ago. [08:53] <|Steve|> PermitRootLogin no in /etc/ssh/sshd_config. [08:53] Dr_Willis: one of my mates cowers when you mention edlin [08:53] Zachk18, I think that you do not understand sudo when you say stuff like that [08:53] Now, can we kindly move on? [08:53] I really like the 'fte' editor thats in the repos.. its often overlooked [08:54] yeah well shove it [08:54] sudo - really has a lot of features that get overlooked. [08:54] |Steve|: I think on most systems there exist some local exploit that you can use to gain root anyway if you have access to any account. [08:54] i know that sudo is quite good. [08:54] is there a free Java html server that can be used on Linux with MySQL instead of PHP? [08:55] <|Steve|> Chousuke: Probably so, but that's not an argument against having a root password. [08:55] |Steve|: but the thing is, if you have the root password enabled for most users it's just an extra burden. [08:55] <|-Gobi-|> I just love linux... I just learned how I can mount remote fs, and use my test webserver with notepad under wine... === FnorZ is now known as Schaehv [08:55] <|Steve|> I mean, I can always do sudo su -. [08:55] |-Gobi-|: its that flexible :) [08:56] sudo -s or sudo -i please.. no need for 'sudo su' [08:56] aka. sudo -i [08:56] |Steve|: using notepad.exe to edit linux config files = can cause issues with the extra carrage return/line feeds [08:56] |Steve|: Most of the time if you get rooted it's not because someone guesses your password, anyway. [08:56] <|Steve|> Ah, sure. -i. [08:56] <|Steve|> Dr_Willis: Um, okay. I don't run windows, but good to know. [08:57] Dr_Willis: The -s (shell) option runs the shell specified by the SHELL environment variable if it is set or the shell as specified in passwd(5). If a command is specified, it is passed to the shell for execution. Otherwise, an interactive shell is executed [08:57] |Steve|: why in the world would you want to use notepad in wine? :) [08:57] <|Steve|> Chousuke: Well, all they have to do is guess my user password if I'm in the sudoers file. [08:57] |Steve|: perhaps part of the reason is that many new ubuntu users would right away start running as root. [08:57] <|Steve|> Dr_Willis: I don't. What are you talking about? [08:57] |Steve|: well, yes, but your user password should be as strong as your root password. [08:57] Dr_Willis, wrong user. it's [08:57] |Steve|: given that so many come from windows, where that's what they're used to. [08:57] Oh that was for |-Gobi-| :) [08:57] heh [08:57] <|Steve|> Chousuke: So again, not an argument for disabling root. [08:58] you leet haxors and your | in the nicks [08:58] <|Steve|> prince_jammys: I don't see why they would. [08:58] hey guys, how do I install pdo_mysql for PHP? [08:58] <|Steve|> prince_jammys: But the account they created would be the one they use. [08:58] <|-Gobi-|> Dr_Willis: I ment notepad++ [08:58] |Steve|: if you have root disabled then they must guess a username which is a member of the admin group as well as the password, with root the username is already known [08:58] |Steve|: the main argument for disabling root is that is simplifies things and makes the system more flexible. [08:58] |-Gobi-|: i find the native linux editors best :) [08:58] *blink* "more flexible" !??! [08:58] |Steve|: in any case, enabling it is easy. [08:58] <|Steve|> More flexible, in what way? [08:58] |Steve|: using sudo allows greater control over who has access to what. [08:59] codeshah: http://www.theatons.com/ubuntu-install-php5-mysql-apache2-ssl-pdo-pdo_mysql [08:59] <|-Gobi-|> Dr_Willis: I am slave of my habbits and didn't want to transfer yet.. so much to learn aftrer I switched to totally to linux [08:59] <|Steve|> prince_jammys: I agree it's easy. I was just surprised to hear that you told someone that it isn't supported. [08:59] |Steve|: I didn't, but it's true. [08:59] 'define supported' :) [08:59] Hello all. I have two wifi cards in my laptop. When I plug the second USB one in, it automatically associates with the same AP configured for the original card. If this isn't annoying enough, when I configure the second card using the command line (promisc mode for eg), the Network Manager takes it upon itself to reset the settings after a while. How can I stop Network Manager or whatever doing this? Just make it ignore a specific interface? [08:59] |Steve|: as in "not recommended" here [08:59] support is such a vague term in so many ways [08:59] <|Steve|> Not supported by ubuntu and not recommended in #ubuntu are two very different things. [08:59] the root user has access to everything, so there's no point in keeping the root account around if you're trying to make the permissions system more fine-grained. [09:00] |Steve|: not supported as in, if you do it, you're on your own. [09:00] as in the support people wont tell you to do it.. perhaps.. [09:00] |Steve|: not recommended. not supported in the sense that if people who come here start enabling root and causing mayhem (which they will), we don't want to deal with it. [09:00] meh, just disable remote root login [09:01] <|Steve|> Enabling root hasn't caused me a single problem. [09:01] <|Steve|> zaggynl: Yeah, that's what I said. [09:01] |Steve|: yet [09:01] |-Gobi-|: Check out SCiTE instead (it's in the repos). It's what Notepad++ uses for all the text stuff, so you should feel at home with it. [09:01] |Steve|: what has it gained you, though? [09:01] |Steve|: so since it's easy to enable for those who know and want to, they already probably have the know-how not to cause mayhem. [09:01] either you're going to use sudo or so [09:01] <|Steve|> ActionParsnip1: You forgot the *dun dun dun* after that. [09:01] |Steve|: a false sense of security? [09:01] if they find a user within the wheel group you're screwed anyway [09:01] "there's no point in keeping the root account around" <--- this is nonsensical, the concept of root is embedded into Linux right down to the kernel, you can't just rip it out [09:01] <|Steve|> Chousuke: An ability to log into my computer when I couldn't log in as my user. [09:01] |Steve|: if you have it disabled your system is more secure [09:01] maxb: no. [09:01] Chousuke: yes. [09:02] maxb: the root account is pointless. all that matters in the superuser privileges. [09:02] <|Steve|> ActionParsnip1: No one has demonstrated that. [09:02] <|-Gobi-|> Flannel: ty for the tip, i'll give a try [09:02] maxb: and sudo provides a perfectly fine way of accessing that. [09:02] |Steve|: This channel assumes you have the root account disabled, we provide support as if it's disabled because it means we don't have to ask silly questions with every single person who has a problem related to it. [09:02] Chousuke: sudo provides a perfectly fine way of accessing the root account, yes [09:02] |Steve|: the root account is common to all nix systems so all an attacker has to do is guess the password, if it is disabled, an attacker has to exactly guess a username as well as the password [09:03] maxb: superuser privileges don't equal the root account. [09:03] |Steve|: you have halved the work needed to be done [09:03] Chousuke: actually, they rather do [09:03] maxb: having a root account in this case means you can login as root. [09:03] <|Steve|> ActionParsnip1: For the third time, disallow remote root login. [09:03] However, everyone, the root vs sudo discussion is offtopic for this channel. If you'd like to continue it, may I suggest a change in venue to #ubuntu-offtopic? Thanks [09:03] maxb: not just that the uid 0 exists. [09:03] Nobody? How do I disable a certain device from being configured automatically by the Network Manager? [09:03] (because it always does :P) === lyrae_ is now known as lyrae [09:03] |Steve|: also, many linux techies sat round and discussed this at length and decided it was a fantastic idea, but i'm sure you know better, right [09:04] ActionParsnip1: thats the way it always is! [09:04] Flannel: thats gonna empty the channel ;) [09:04] <|Steve|> ActionParsnip1: Appeal to authority works, but you have to actually name the authority. [09:04] |Steve|: The Ubuntu Technical Board [09:04] <|Steve|> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_from_authority [09:05] I really don't understand why people are so enamored to the root account. [09:05] Again, this is offtopic, please continue elsewhere. [09:05] sudo is better in every way === lipsin_ is now known as lipsin [09:05] <|Steve|> Chousuke: You've clearly never been in a situation where you couldn't log into your user account then. [09:05] Chousuke: because when idiots screw their systems through bad practises tey expect us to pick up the pieces [09:05] Need assistance damnit >< [09:05] the first thing I do on Debian machines is install sudo and lock root :/ [09:05] !pastebin [09:05] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel.

[09:07] I'm trying to make Network Manager ignore my second wifi card [09:07] ActionParsnip1? what happened to ActionParsnip the original? [09:07] Subdolus: why would it pay attention to it? [09:07] so I can play with it in the console and not have it remove my settings over and over [09:07] !list [09:07] This is not a file sharing channel (or network). If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [09:07] RichiV: this is my work lappy, i use pidgin for sametime. I must still be logged on on my desktop [09:08] <|Steve|> Is booting into single user mode possible without grub? [09:08] hey how come when I log into freenode Im using TCP-Unknown but on dalnet it uses IRCD protocols ? is the TCP-Unkown perhaps just IRCD without headers in the packets ? [09:08] Subdolus: hmm you could tell it to disable the device then configure it in the interfaces file, th einterfaces file supercedes network manager [09:09] |Steve|: Lilo can do it, I'm not familiar with yaboot [09:09] |Steve|: you cant boot into anything without a bootloader, grub is your bootloader [09:09] <|Steve|> yaboot is a pain in the ass. [09:09] <|Steve|> ActionParsnip1: Um, no, it isn't. [09:10] |Steve|: its the default, you havent stated you were using anything different [09:10] what do people usually run ubuntu on? i can't get vbox working on windows xp [09:10] |Steve|: yaboot can boot to single user mode too, yes. [09:10] <|Steve|> ActionParsnip1: It's certainly not the default on my platform (or even an option). [09:10] On Ubuntu, how do you bring up your drives showing how much space you have used and what is left of your Hard drives? [09:10] CatEater: i use virtualbox under windows all the time with no problems. [09:10] <|Steve|> Flannel: Okay. yaboot barely works as far as I can tell. [09:10] CatEater: i run it on an AMD3000+ AM2 with 1GbDDR2 and nvidia 6250 gfx, works great [09:10] Dr_Willis: i can't even get the vm window to show up [09:11] !gru [09:11] Sorry, I don't know anything about gru [09:11] !grub [09:11] GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [09:11] it never appears [09:11] |Steve|: your witness ^ [09:11] |Steve|: Well, if it barely works at all, then it barely works to boot to the recovery console too, but it works. [09:11] <|Steve|> ActionParsnip1: Powerpc. [09:11] is vbox some kind of in-joke? [09:11] wizzo50: go to places-> comptuer. right click & properties on any icon [09:11] |Steve|: again, please provide better information so we dont have to guess [09:11] <|Steve|> Flannel: By barely works, I mean that I've never successfully gotten the yaboot prompt. [09:11] CatEater: virtualbox works very well for me on windows.. perhaps check #windows or the vbox homepage/forums [09:11] CatEater: its fine for virtualisation [09:12] <|Steve|> ActionParsnip1: I'm not asking for help, I merely asked if single user mode were possible without grub. You were the one who kept insisting that I was using grub. [09:12] CatEater: or try vmware. (a little harder to use) [09:12] |Steve|: The answer to that is yes. [09:12] ActionParsnip1: how do i view what's on the display though? [09:12] <|Steve|> Flannel: Right, thanks. [09:12] i guess it's fine if i don;'t need to see what's happening [09:12] CatEater: you boot the virtualbox up and the display is shown [09:13] CatEater: the default is to display the desktop [09:13] CatEater: it works perfectly fine here. i see the display just fine. Your windows system is goofed up sounds like to me. [09:13] ActionParsnip1: it's shown for a brief time, then it disappears [09:13] CatEater: are you sure you arent running vmware? [09:13] ActionParsnip1: it's vbox 3.0.4 [09:13] Vmware- is a beast of another type. [09:13] CatEater: i'd reinstall it then, and delete the config files [09:13] hm im running 2.2.4 [09:13] the last thing i see is a black display with a _ in the top left, then it just *poof* disappears [09:13] \join unity-coders [09:14] ok, where do i delete config files? [09:14] \join #unity-coders [09:14] / [09:14] wizzo50: /join not \join [09:14] CatEater: THAT sounds like your ubuntu iso file is either currupted.. or you dont hav the vbox machine mounting the iso file. [09:14] CatEater: uninstall the app, then delete the .virtulabox folder in your windos profile, then reinstall [09:14] Dr_Willis: at some point, i actually managed to install ubuntu [09:14] CatEater: did you md5 check theiso you are using? [09:14] pretty sure it's booting from hard drive now [09:15] the iso* [09:15] i went through the whole install process [09:15] ok how do i check iso [09:15] !md5 | CatEater [09:15] CatEater: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [09:15] CatEater: you have no way of knowing the iso is correct yet you still used it? md5 checks give you assurance the image is good and hasnt been damaged during download [09:16] those instructions aren't for windows [09:16] i can't use them [09:16] my sound is not working properly. it was working fine until i tried to shut down my PC and then the screen went black but never shut off. i then forcibly shut it off. next time i switched it on, the sound is not working when it is starting up or with most programs (except with Jukebox and Totem Movie Player [09:16] can someone help me? [09:16] they all have a $ prompt [09:16] CatEater: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM#MD5SUM%20on%20Windows [09:16] also, when i plug in my headsets, the sound stops working altogether on any program [09:17] CatEater: read the screen, there was a link to how to md5 on ALL platforms [09:19] CatEater: found it? [09:20] somehow i lost track [09:20] found what again? [09:20] marko what kind of sound device is it [09:20] i just downloaded a windows md5sum utuility [09:20] why did i do that again? [09:20] You tell us... [09:21] i used the verify cd function in the iso before i installed, so why do i need to verify it again? [09:21] i used a good cd image [09:21] now, how do i view my vbox window? [09:21] ubotu whats the current version of ubuntu? [09:21] Dabian: 9.04 [09:22] Flannel: Thank you! [09:22] celthunder: card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: ALC268 Analog [ALC268 Analog] is that what ur looking for? [09:22] I'm running the current version of Ubuntu, but I need to upgrade my Open Office Org to 3.1 (from 3.0) ... is there a package I can download, or must I do a manual install? [09:22] CatEater: its still good to verify the ISO BEFORE burning. Otherwise you may waste a disk. It also means you can be sure the ISO you are using is good [09:23] Dabian: http://webupd8.blogspot.com/2009/05/install-openoffice-31-in-ubuntu-jaunty.html [09:23] marko okay, i'm assuming you checked alsamixer made sure nothing is muted etc? [09:23] ( ... and we all want good ISO's ... ) [09:23] ActionParsnip1: burning? aaaaaahahahahaha [09:23] maybe when i can afford a burner [09:23] !ooo | Dabian [09:23] they're like $80 [09:23] CatEater: its still necessary to verify the file [09:23] Dabian: a free and open source office suite that includes word processor, spreadsheet, presentation, vector drawing and database components. To install: "sudo apt-get install openoffice.org". For (unofficial) repositories containing OpenOffice.org 3, see https://launchpad.net/~openoffice-pkgs/+archive/ppa. User help available in #openoffice.org. [09:23] ActionParsnip1: i did already verify though [09:23] CatEater: bad file gives bad install [09:23] ActionParsnip1: Thanks! Looks like I might have googled it ... :) [09:24] the file teself has a verification utility, which i used [09:24] Thanks again, Flannel! [09:24] itself [09:24] CatEater: then uninstall virtualbox, remove .virtualbox from your profile and reinstall [09:24] ActionParsnip1: how do i "remove .virtualbox from your profile"? [09:24] CatEater: yes but testing the iso outside of that is needed too [09:24] celthunder: im pretty sure i've done that and it wasn't working properly. ive unmuted everything but when i play a sound, a faint static sound happens [09:25] i thought it was hardware related, but Jukebox and Totem Movie Player works perfectly [09:25] CatEater: you have a folder for the settings for virtualbox in your windows profile, i think its in local settings\application settings I'm not sure, search your profile for it [09:26] ok, kill vbox, delete vbox settings, reinstall vbox [09:26] marko so what program produces static? [09:26] CatEater: that folder holds all settings and hdd images of your virtual box, if you delete it you will get blank settings, if yu uninstall virtualbox you will then have a system that has never heard of the app and you can reinstall it from the beginning [09:27] WTF [09:27] Hi guys, is there a command line application which could show me which application is writing what to the disk? [09:27] "You must type a file name." [09:27] ok... how do i rename the vbox settings folder? [09:27] celthunder: pretty much everytime i try play sound using any program (even when the laptop is starting up) it plays a really faint static. only time it doesnt is if im using Jukebox or Totem, but i can't use both at the same time coz then i lose sound once again [09:27] CatEater: it will be in: Documents and Settings\username\Application Data [09:27] windows won't let me [09:27] it says: "You must type a file name." [09:28] CatEater: you need to delete .VirtualBox in there (close virtual box first) [09:28] how do i rename instead of delete? [09:28] CatEater: then use add remove programs to uninstal the app [09:28] CatEater: right click the folder -> rename [09:28] hey guys, I am trying to install php extensions, but it seems that they are installed in /usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613/ [09:28] ActionParsnip1: Hmmm .. doesn't look like there is packages for AMD64 ... am I correct? [09:28] and so when I add extension= to php.ini it does not find it? [09:28] it says: "You must type a file name." [09:28] it won't let ne [09:28] CatEater: then type a new name [09:28] me [09:28] i did though [09:29] it says: "You must type a file name." [09:29] CatEater: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:29] Dabian: there are am64 as well as i386 [09:29] oh bit me FloodBot2 [09:29] CatEater: then type a new filename [09:29] ActionParsnip1: OK .. I'll try some more .. but I got an error. :) [09:29] just because i had to say the same thing several times doesn't mean anything === MadMax is now known as Guest51707 [09:29] i did type a new filename [09:29] it says: "You must type a file name." [09:29] CatEater: is it unique to the folder [09:29] yes === Schaehv is now known as FnorZ [09:29] marko no idea man :( hope you get it fixed though [09:30] CatEater: is virtalbox still running? [09:30] no [09:30] i killed it real good [09:30] Anyone want to have a look at my error in #Flood? [09:30] CatEater: i'd reboot, then try rename. windows likes reboots [09:30] i got all the vbox processes [09:30] or is there a paste thing for this channel? [09:30] no reboot sorry [09:30] ubottu: paster [09:30] Sorry, I don't know anything about paster [09:30] ubottu: paste [09:30] !paste | Dabian [09:30] Dabian: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel.

[09:31] mm I had blue screen of death 5 times at work today ActionParsnip1 using windows 15 minutes wasted everytime [09:31] http://paste.ubuntu.com/266536/ [09:31] !locale > m__ [09:31] m__, please see my private message [09:31] Its in danish, I fear .. but hopefully it makes sense anyhow. [09:32] ok, since VMs aren't supported, what should i try: celeron 300 with 64MB RAM, or pentium 233 with 256MB RAM? [09:32] Dabian: you didnt import the pgp key [09:32] how can i change my computer language? [09:32] CatEater: either [09:32] !locale | m__ [09:32] m__: To set up and configure your locales, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf [09:32] !locale | m__ [09:32] ActionParsnip1: *blush* OK .. I guess I was a bit fast. [09:32] CatEater: windows is good at locking down files - and some times they dont get unlocked down properly without a reboot.. thats the core of it.. do what you want. [09:32] Dabian: read the *whole* how to [09:32] ActionParsnip1: Right [09:33] CatEater: 64mb ram - is not going to be enough to runubuntu [09:33] Dr_Willis: it'll run xubuntu barely [09:34] how about minimal ubuntu + fluxbox or such? [09:34] CatEater: you cound use u-lite to install a miinimal ubuntu, then install lxde to get a desktop [09:34] prince_jammys: fluxbuntu!! [09:34] ActionParsnip1: barely barely. :) [09:34] but it's in a VM too .. [09:35] that's rough. 64MB is very little. [09:35] ActionParsnip1: OK .. now its installing! Thank you very much! :) [09:35] Dabian: good lad, you have learned today ;) [09:35] :) [09:35] ActionParsnip1: ;) [09:35] i was using firefox on ubuntu, and the application locked up and went grayscale. Does this mean its dead? How do i kill it or restart it? [09:36] 64MB is enough for a command-line install but any fancy GUIs are out of the question [09:36] you might be able to run twm and a couple xterms though :P [09:36] filistine: pkill firefox [09:36] thanks [09:36] is it possible to find out what VLAN a certain IP/MAC address is sending packets on? [09:37] zealiod: you could ask the switch its attatched to [09:37] ActionParsnip1: is fluxbuntu an actual distro? [09:37] excuse my laziness. [09:37] prince_jammys: yes [09:38] weird [09:38] i have minimal + fluxbox, so i guess i must have fluxbuntu [09:38] prince_jammys: uses kasenchaze as default browser and rox as file manager, its damn fast [09:38] oh, ok, comes with a set of apps. [09:38] bazhang are you there [09:39] i cant kill the process - its says its uninteruptable [09:39] prince_jammys: yes, unfortunately the stupid updtae manager doesnt recognise it so you need one of the desktop metapackages installed to jump up a release, very annoying [09:39] ok what I have learned from playing with these audio settings is that you have to probably set your audio fragments to be at least 5 ms so that some programs like rhythmbox will play the 1ms silence between songs on last.fm [09:39] ActionParsnip1: hard to tell which switch the traffic is deffo on... [09:39] filistine: brute force is : pkill -9 firefox [09:39] and 10 fragments is a good number [09:39] default was 8 [09:39] filistine: ps -ef | grep fire [09:39] does anyone know why there are no ads for ubuntu linux [09:39] filistine: that sends it a deadly signal. [09:39] has there any need for antivirus in ubuntu?????????? [09:39] filistine: then use: kill [09:39] m__: not really, no. [09:39] m__: not really no [09:39] hah [09:39] snips [09:39] m__ no never [09:40] adding 2 more fragments is 10 x 50 which of course is 50 and 50 is 30 less than the default 80 so the system should process it faster [09:40] m__: i use them to scan my windows systems/files :) [09:40] m__: does that count? [09:40] enabled 32 channels as my value for default number of channels to sample [09:40] m__: if you run a samba server you can have AV watching it to save windows users from each other [09:40] m__ there is avast but that is just no use but install one if u have wINE [09:40] set 2 speaker default under the speaker config setting [09:40] oh oh, now the system monitor has gone gray - one by one, my apps are all going gray [09:40] now it is playing 32 channels across 2 speakers [09:40] with the best resampler [09:40] thanks all [09:40] aaron11: not needed in wine if the apps never touch the internet [09:40] and with tweaked buffering [09:40] filistine: compiz 'greys' processes if it detectx they are slow to respond. [09:41] you can disable that dimming [09:41] of course without the dimming.. you just have a hanging app.. that you are not sure what its doing.. [09:41] how to view complete chat in x-chat? [09:41] two apps i don't like. [09:41] also true Dr_Willis [09:41] any one know a very interesting software for ubuntu?? plz make me know [09:42] hi === _bgy is now known as bgy [09:42] m__: very vague. [09:42] The Gimp :D [09:42] any one knows how to set up my laptop as a server?? [09:42] i thought linux was the operating system you never had to reboot [09:42] so [09:42] hi [09:42] m__: define interesting [09:42] ok === jad is now known as shnazul [09:42] filistine: technically no, but it can help [09:42] pradeep: what sort of server? [09:42] filistine: you won't have to reboot. [09:42] pradeep: server is a very broad title [09:43] filistine: at least, i'll be surprised if you do. [09:43] I have developed a website. i have hosted it on apache localhost. my friend should be able to access the website using the services of my laptop [09:43] except for kernel upgrades :P [09:43] is it possible? [09:43] Is there a way to a shortcut when in a folder I right click to choose 'Make a new directory' or 'Make a new file', i'd have liked to add 'Make a new Open Office Document' ? [09:43] pradeep: so a web server then? [09:43] yes [09:43] like windows xp. virtual girl! [09:43] pradeep: ok thats better, "server" on its own means nearly nothing [09:43] ActionParsnip1 if you are connecting to unknown windows servers using ssh or samba then u want to run it using wine then it is very important (avast) usualy if id do that then i realy install the avg (which only finds virusus which could be a thareat to the system) and then use avast and cut their throats off [09:44] server on a laptop is a wierd idea, i'd just criagslist a cheap 50 buck pc and use that instead [09:44] ActionParsnip1: can i glean that info from an arp request? [09:44] i have apache installed on my laptop?? [09:44] so how do i make my laptop as a server now/ [09:44] * aaron11 is sortof shivery today :/ [09:45] is there a good way to do file tagging and tag searching on ubuntu? [09:45] pradeep: it is a server now, it is serving httpd [09:45] pradeep why for what reason [09:45] pradeep oh ok [09:45] bgy: thers some template feature in Nautilus [09:46] once i change screen resolution of ubuntu. 2nd time i can not change it. it needs reinstallation of ubuntu!!!!! [09:46] for example: if my friend types http://192.168.8.232/src [09:46] Dr_Willis, where could i find about this ? is there a preference box to do thaT ? [09:46] m__: just restart the x server, may help [09:46] he should be able to run the site on his browser. My laptop will be serving [09:46] hello, I just accidentally erased the content of /etc/init.d/... is there any way to recover? [09:46] pradeep: as long as he is connected to your wan, yes [09:47] s/wan/lan [09:47] bgy: i recall some Templates Dirctory. but i forget what you put in there.. perhaps a blank doc of the type you want. [09:47] yeah both are connected to the wan.?? [09:47] pradeep: so if s/he is connected to your network, that will work [09:47] Dr_Willis, thanks, i'll take a look about this [09:47] wat should he do then? [09:47] pradeep: if you are at your house and your friend is at his/her house then that ip will not work [09:47] bgy: under create documents -> no templates installed. It looks in that dir for those. [09:47] do i need to share any folder as such [09:48] i know that it wont work. i mean on the local area network or the intranet [09:48] pradeep: you need to setup virtual server / port forwarding on your router to allow the traffic through [09:48] has there any way to change the system without command??????? [09:48] ActionParsnip1: how to do that:-) [09:48] pradeep: then your friend will connect to the wan ip of your router and the data will be forwarded to the correctinternal system [09:49] has there any way to change the system language without command??????? [09:49] pradeep: it varys wildly from router to router. dig out your manual [09:49] syntax error: too many question marks. [09:49] Dr_Willis, Is he templates directory in ~/.nautilus ? [09:49] t* [09:49] m__: you have to issue some command to get the language canged, computers respond only to inputs [09:49] m__: probably. the locale URL didn't work for you? [09:50] ActionParsnip1: There s a application called Meiga which allows you to share folders over http. y won that work? [09:50] bgy: its right in my Users Home directory here., [09:50] Dr_Willis, i just found it ~/Templates [09:50] pradeep: bad config, is meiga a windows program? [09:50] !info meiga [09:50] Package meiga does not exist in jaunty [09:50] no linux [09:50] bgy, it should be in /home/user/Templates [09:50] thanks for the help [09:51] hi, hope you don't hate me for that but: i am currently running winxp (i also have wubi installed) therefore my question: what advantages does ubuntu have over windows xp, or why would should i change to linux? thank you [09:51] Ubuntu fully locked up - frozen mouse - required a hardware reset [09:51] greenway: It's all about preferences, really. However, let me find you a link. [09:51] I've got ubuntu installed on a touch screen computer that won't be using a mouse or keyboard [09:51] On reboot the first time it said "kernel panic" [09:51] ActionParsnip1: meiga.igalia.com [09:51] greenway: /join #ubuntu-offtopic and ask there. [09:52] what are some recommended packages/applications/setups for such a setup? [09:52] leaf-sheep: thanks [09:52] #ubuntu-offtopic? [09:52] greenway, eys [09:52] pradeep: you'd still need to port forward to the internal pc [09:52] greenway: http://www.whylinuxisbetter.net/ [09:52] yes* [09:52] thanks for the fast responses [09:52] hey fellas, im trying to create a public ssh key to rsync some files from a debian etch server to an ubuntu edgy server, and well, i think the ssh versions are different. How could this be resolved? [09:52] greenway: it's a channel for non-support related questions that still have to do with ubuntu. [09:52] I compiled PHP from source [for nginx, fastcgi etc], and am trying to include PHP extensions with PEAR - do I just use the ubuntu built in php-pear or ? [09:52] ActionParsnip1: But that allows file sharing. [09:53] pradeep: yes but you are behind a router which will drop the requests as they are not permitted [09:54] the computer the ability to use a mouse and keyboard for setup purposes of course, I just don't intend to use it afterward [09:54] ActionParsnip1: Anyways i will try messing up with my router and try. The only problem is I am on a college wifi. so i have to get permission to access the router page and do the config [09:54] pradeep: you could share your entire system to every manand his dog, if the router does not permit the traffic then no requests will get to the internal lan [09:54] Gadu1: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Accessibility [09:54] Gadu1: will get you an onscreen keyboard [09:55] excellent [09:55] ActionParsnip1: :-);-) thanks for the help [09:56] pradeep: np man [09:56] ActionParsnip1: any user interface changes or modifications that would be beneficial for this little 10" touch setup? [09:57] hi everyone [09:57] hi [09:58] Gadu1: you may want to check out the netbook remix type interfaces.. they are designed for smaller screens [09:58] Dr_Willis: will do, thanks ^_^ [09:58] Gadu1: i suggest something lik this for firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/364 [09:58] Gadu1: more real estate in browsing [09:59] Gadu1: also install tiny menu and collapse the web controls to one row === cem is now known as Guest70105 [10:01] ActionParsnip1: Tiny Menu has to be the most beautiful thing for firefox I've ever seen O_O [10:02] gm [10:03] With my new motherboard, I had a CD come with it with the drivers on it for it's sound and so forth, how do I use it when I have Ubuntu setup on my computer for the drivers? [10:03] Gadu1: if you customise your toolbars, you can drag the address and google search where the menu items used to be [10:04] Gadu1: then get rid of the bookmark and navigation bar [10:04] wizzo50: you can not use windows drivers. Do you need those drivers? [10:04] you dont need motherboard drivers and stuff usually [10:04] yes [10:04] I want to give dirs and files different colors when I run ls. This works on a server I log into, but after setting my LS_COLORS in the same way locally I don't get fancy colors. Anything else I must setup? [10:04] wizzo50: what is not working? [10:04] sound [10:04] ubuntu auto installed all my peripherals cept my creative labs x-fi which i had to get a linux beta driver for [10:05] !sound has useful information [10:05] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [10:05] !sound [10:05] 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 [10:05] !sound [10:05] anr78: is ls aliased to ls --color=auto (it tends to be by default) [10:06] anr78: also, at what point are you setting LS_COLORS ? in .bashrc? [10:06] prince_jammys: no alias, and yes, in .bashrc [10:06] anr78: do you get colors at all? [10:07] prince_jammys: using --color=auto gave me fancy colors :) [10:07] prince_jammys: nope [10:07] anr78: so, ls --color=auto did what you wanted? [10:07] without vlc has there any good media player for ubuntu? [10:07] <|-Gobi-|> be advised: If one uses SciTe the FTP isn't working that much... had to use curlftpfs to mount volume. If tried directly Scite just cleared the file empty [10:08] prince_jammys: yes [10:08] mehedi: why withoug? I use vlc, gmplayer, smplayer, or occasionally xine for my video needs. [10:08] anr78: in .bashrc, you can alias ls by adding: alias ls='ls --color=auto' [10:08] mehedi: I like mplayer, but you have to get the one from the medibuntu repo [10:08] mehedi: i like mplayer [10:08] mehedi: what is wrong with vlc? [10:08] anr78: without that option, ls does not show colors. [10:08] Gadu1: http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/391/roll.jpg [10:08] A split-window bug, I suspect. [10:09] mehedi: I like vlc too [10:09] Gadu1: thats how i roll, the bookmarks thing is googe oookmarks [10:09] prince_jammys: ah. you were right about the aliasing. my mind confused it with symlinks. the server had the alias, local .bashrc did not. thanks! [10:09] anr78: welcome. [10:10] the VLC 1.0.x versions in the PPA repos have the video merged in with the controlls now.. as does the version in 9.10 :) [10:10] vlc 1.0 plays nice with g1 phone too :) [10:10] mehedi: mplayer plays real media streams better than vlc, or at least it did last time I tried, the recent move to v1.0 for vlc may have changed that. [10:10] hey wassup all [10:11] Hi, when I resume the system from sleep mode the screen looks dark (as if on battery mode), despite the fact that it's connected to the mains. The screen also goes darker when I start mplayer. Why is this happening? (Kuuntu 8.04 on a Dell Inspiron laptop) [10:11] realmedia workd good for me with mplayer also [10:11] hi, i've update openoffice (3.1.1) but alla icons in the toolbar are disappeared, i've got only the name... [10:11] i use samsung wide screen LCD monitor. vlc does not cover the whole screen. but Dragon media player covers the whole monitor when i play video. (but this player a limited type of video format) [10:12] any reported issues abotu karmic alpha5 wubi install with grub syntax errors?

I want to install Ubuntu with wubi. But strangely wubi doesn't start at all. I execute it, i get the hourglass for a few seconds and nothing happens. [10:12] mehedi: try the differnt 'video output' options in the vlc setting menus. [10:12] Is this known behaviour? [10:12] phryk: did you md5 check the wubi installer? [10:12] i use samsung wide screen LCD monitor. vlc does not cover the whole screen. but Dragon media player covers the whole monitor when i play video. (but this player can play a limited type of video format) [10:12] ok [10:12] phryk: Don't use Karmic WUBI if that is what you were going for. [10:12] so vic [10:12] phryk: did you md5 check the iso you downloaded (if you downloaded one) [10:13] is any0ne here [10:13] hel00 [10:13] leaf-sheep: karmic? [10:13] aaron11: 1325 people here. [10:13] ActionParsnip1: i didn't [10:13] thank you [10:13] i thought wubi would dl one [10:13] phryk: why not? [10:13] phryk: Karmic or 9.10. Either way. Avoid them. They're not ready... yet. [10:13] but i didn't md5check that [10:13] phryk: it can, but you still need to md5 the wubi installer [10:14] leaf-sheep: i took the current one, 9.04 rev129 [10:14] ActionParsnip1: yeah, how do i md5check that under windows? I don't exactly have a shell here :/ [10:14] ActionParsnip1: http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/1289516/roll.png [10:14] well okay, i have a dosbox, but that's not worth much [10:14] and that is now how I roll XD [10:15] !md5 | phryk [10:15] phryk: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [10:15] Hi, when I resume the system from sleep mode the screen looks dark (as if on battery mode), despite the fact that it's connected to the mains. The screen also goes darker when I start mplayer. Why is this happening? (Kuuntu 8.04 on a Dell Inspiron laptop) [10:15] already have one^^ [10:15] * phryk notes "First google, then talk" [10:16] phryk: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes [10:17] hey my pc just got rebooted while i was watching youtube and now after rebooting there is no sound in firefox. movies etc sound is fine. [10:17] what could be wrong now [10:17] there is cracking noise [10:18] please anyone help === on0bi is now known as on0bi___ [10:18] md5check is successful [10:18] tvasht, what version of Ubuntu are you using ? [10:18] So what else could it be? [10:18] 9.04 [10:19] phryk: good [10:19] ActionParsnip1: Well yes but no^^ [10:19] phryk: not sure really i hate wubi [10:19] jasa, 2.6.27-7-generic 9.04 [10:19] tvasht, if there is the old sound system on System->Prefs->Sound try putting all into alsa audio and restart the audio ... [10:19] Yeah, but I'm on an internship here and am not allowed to kill the partition or mess around with it [10:19] an ubuntu edgy server is creating faulty ssh public keys, how can i fix this? [10:19] Hi. am I mission something, because I think JAVA does not work here on Hardy in ANY browser, except Opera.. [10:19] phryk: could download and check the iso for wubi [10:19] I use 64-bit Hardy [10:20] jasa, but sound is fine everywhere else. [10:20] nikolam: which version of java do u have [10:20] jasa, its using pulse [10:20] tvasht, yes it could be that installing libflashsupport might help too ... [10:20] ActionParsnip1: But if wubi itself should do this it's no use as wubi doesnt even start... [10:20] indus, i am checking in synaptic.. [10:20] nikolam: in a terminal, type sudo update-alternatives --config java [10:20] tvasht, that package gives you extra support for some audio things in flash. [10:20] phryk: try rebooting your system then rerunning [10:20] already did that [10:21] jasa, i was just watching youtube and everything was just fine. power cut ->reboot -> nosound only in firefox [10:21] indus, *+ 3 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/java [10:22] nikolam: only 1? [10:22] also the speed of video doubles .. jasa [10:22] nikolam: which site do u use to check java? [10:22] tvasht, that would be odd bug then, never seen that to happen. [10:22] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/266550/ [10:22] tvasht, doing reinstall on flash from synaptic doesn't help ? [10:22] didn't try. should i jasa [10:23] indus, I test Java with http://java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml [10:23] tvasht, well if it's some config file corrupted it installs those again. [10:23] tvasht, cause of the powercut ... it could be possible if you were using that then [10:23] nikolam: try this http://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp?detect=jre&try=1 [10:24] happy http://pastebin.com/m1429ad19 I have no sound through my speakers but do through my headphones [10:24] tvasht, you using xfs filesystem btw ? [10:24] jasa, also when i open firefox my cpu usage goes to 100%. 84% used by npviewer.bin. [10:24] ext3 [10:24] tvasht: use 64 bit flash [10:24] from some reason i can't see the video on this site - http://www.infoq.com/presentations/nitobi-phonegap . is there a way to downlad the video? (i can't find it under tools [10:25] -> page info) [10:25] tvasht, hmm ... well it could be that there is some file "open stuck" in the browser ... (Yeah the 64bit flash from adobe labs myself too). [10:25] indus, adobe? [10:25] indus, nope, just rotating green dots and nothing. [10:25] hi all, I have 4 GB of system RAM, but ubuntu's system monitor and the top command show that I have 2.5 GB only. Does anyone know if it's a problem displaying information or if the system actually is only using 2.5 GB? [10:25] when trying in konqueror, i get message, Your Java version is 1.6.0_0. Please click the button below to get the recommended Java for your computer. [10:25] tvasht: http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/libflashplayer-10.0.32.18.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz [10:25] firefox I ment [10:26] hi, any reason why ubuntu edgy makes ssh public keys that look like this: http://pastebin.com/d3519d536 [10:26] tvasht, do few times "killall firefox" to remove all the instances if some of those seems to be running and doesn't "die" on closing the application. [10:26] tvasht: extract the libflashplayer.so and move it to .mozilla/plugins [10:26] hi everyone! could someone help me please? [10:26] indus, did he say he has x86_64 environment. [10:26] nikolam: that version is good enough === MUWAHAHAHAHA is now known as Anodyne [10:26] lilcoconut, just ask your question [10:26] i want to watch a dvd on linux, but it wont work :( any idea how i can solve this problem? [10:26] jasa: he says npviewer.bin so yes fair to aassume [10:26] thank you indus jasa i'll try that [10:26] jbu_: i've 4GB and system show 3,8Gib [10:27] :D [10:27] tvasht: can u tell me the output of uname -m [10:27] blackmoon, but that's more of what I would expect === anyoNe is now known as Guest55098 [10:27] how do I get the current server itme? [10:27] nikolam: in synaptic can u search for icedtea [10:27] indus, x86_64 [10:27] blackmoon, because doesnt the kernel reserve some memory for itself? Plus at one point (i think 8.10, 8.04) it was showing 4GB properly [10:27] jbu_: how mamory con you see in the BIOS screen? [10:27] tvasht: good so try the link i gave [10:27] blackmoon, 4GB [10:28] blackmoon, vista shows 4GB as well [10:28] tvasht: but first, sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-nonfree [10:28] ok [10:28] indus, installed icedtea 7 i think [10:28] tvasht, yeah you want the 64bit flash rather than use 3rd party addons to load 32bit one. -.- [10:28] lilcoconut, http://lifehacker.com/350015/enable-dvd-playback-in-ubuntu-in-two-commands [10:28] indus, but not a plugin.. [10:29] nikolam: hold on [10:29] jbu_: it's weird [10:29] !java [10:29] To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository [10:29] jbu_, you need PAE kernel to show the memory amount right i think, physical address extension. [10:29] nikolam: if you have new ubuntu 9.04 u get sun plugin original [10:29] I use 8.04 LTS, 64-bit indus [10:30] jasa, thanks, i'll look into it [10:30] nikolam: ya now ther is a plugin for it too [10:30] which logs shall i check when epiphany crashes ? [10:30] nikolam: why do u need java btw? [10:30] how can i configure network/interfaces to accept and issue VLAN traffic? [10:30] 8.10 wubi works [10:30] *issue DHCP to [10:30] jasa, is that a module? Why is that not on/enabled/included by default? [10:30] jasa: i've got standard kernel, and show 3,8GiB [10:31] indus, I had to look some webcast the other day. After java not working in any browser on Ubuntu, I had to install opensolaris to just see webcast and that sucked. [10:31] jbu_, well i think it's enabled by default atleast on 64bit environment but not sure about 32bit ones and on Fedora there were some optional kernels around at some point. [10:31] nikolam: give me that webcast link [10:31] hey jasa indus .. i just removed flashplayer-nonfree and its working now. didn't install anything new. not even that file i dl from ur link. [10:31] from some reason i can't see the video on this site - http://www.infoq.com/presentations/nitobi-phonegap . is there a way to downlad the video? (i can't find it under tools->page info) [10:32] I feel like it's a simpler solution than that [10:32] tvasht: hmm well ok then if that makes you happy [10:32] ubuntu should just detect my 4GB of memory, it has before [10:32] indus, jasa why did that happen? [10:32] jbu_, but i checked "pae" on synaptic and only thing i see on list for 64bit one is xen thing that says "This version of the hypervisor is built with support for systems with up to4GB of memory." [10:32] jasa, not using xen [10:32] tvasht: iam not sure what your problem was btw [10:32] though I want to [10:32] indus, just a min to find it etc. But it is generally that java don`t work, not just that webcast etc. === Belloto_ is now known as Belloto [10:32] indus, jasa k thanks anyways [10:33] tvasht: the step i gave you removes flash so iam not sure what happened [10:33] tvasht, yeah ... but indeed if you need the flash you can't get that for 64bit one from normal adobe flash player site, you need to go labs.adobe ... -.- [10:34] nikolam: try install icedtea-gcjwebplugin [10:34] ubuntu 9.4 comes with python2.6 but I need to install python-yaml to 2.5, how I can do it? [10:34] it is installed to 2.6 [10:34] jbu_, well if you have x86 environment only and need the 4gb support it could go towards the thing you need to configure and compile your own kernel with physical address extension enabled.

[10:40] tvasht: yes [10:40] Flannel, ah, I do not have the server version so I'm downloading the server headers right now [10:41] jbu_: You can just install the server kernel: sudo apt-get install linux-server [10:41] tvasht, go to home folder with the explorer hit ctrl+h and go folder .mozilla make a folder there with name "plugins" and throw it there. [10:41] Flannel, yeah that appears to be how to isntall PAE, in fact it's done installing now so I'll reboot and tell u guys how it went [10:41] tvasht, even if you use firefox don't go that folder the mozilla will work for that too.

I want to run from a USB pendrive, but I need to load it with an ubuntu IMG file [10:46] tvasht: first you remove existing flash from system [10:46] It looks like from some other posts I may need to blacklist some hardware to get all the memory to show [10:46] tvasht: then restart browser [10:46] blacklist some modules for my hardware [10:46] http://www.thaiadpoint.com/tap8.1/bin/redir.php?p=2005&l=1330&u_id=363435 [10:47] jbu_, hmm you sure your BIOS as right settings on it then ?

[11:08] jezi22: proberly in some ncurses dev package. [11:08] bala, you compiled the drivers with gcc that was used on kernel ? [11:08] jezi22: theres examples of curses programing out there.. i last had to use curses ages ato. [11:08] bala, also there is the new alsa out there 1.0.21, i recommend getting that from their pages if you plan to install new drivers around. [11:08] i am trying to use it.. >__< [11:09] jasa: i didnt compile. i installed the debug package from http://ddebs.ubuntu.com/pool/main/l/linux/ [11:10] bala, why you want some extra debugging ?

[11:15] hey guys [11:15] i'd like to update once i do but no internet [11:16] just a question what will the difference be between 9.04 and 9.10 [11:16] bala, get the drivers from page and check the "./configure --help" and it tells how to build those with debug things and remember on debian/ubuntu you need "--prefix=/usr" on configure too. [11:16] tomas1: ask in #ubuntu+1 [11:16] jasa: thank you [11:17] Hi! I'm using Aspire One (with UNR), and I have the Storage Expansion slot as constantly connected storage space. However, I've just learned that this disables my ability to suspend the machine! A Gentoo Wiki page references this problem, and suggest using LVM on the SD card - after that resume should work. I'm not familiar with LVM and the documentation on it goes really technical - it seems like a partition abstraction layer of sorts. I am familiar with partiti [11:18] could someone tell me who maintains the kernel debug packages for ubuntu? (the ones found here http://ddebs.ubuntu.com/pool/main/l/linux/ ) [11:18] Ileden: it is quite techy but research first and you will learn it [11:19] i was wondering if it is possible to make aliases on a ubuntu server [11:19] ActionParsnip1: yeah, seems really techy. It'd be great to know whether I can use LVM on the SD card only, without messing with the rest of the system... [11:20] jasa, I will reinstall the driver now. I looked at the logs but the only thing I can find is a couple of warnings in Xorg.0.log: "(WW) AIGLX: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x23" They continue up to 0x72. [11:20] ActionParsnip1: Of course, I'd like to know whether it's just too messy solution to even start researching in the first place - but then again I'm the only one that can answer that. :) [11:21] obst, yeah fglrx doesn't support all those things around. [11:21] Ileden: ive never had to use it tbh [11:21] Ileden: im aware of it though [11:22] nice ban cleaning :p [11:22] wtf [11:22] is happening [11:22] how to install base system of from the latest Xubuntu CD ? [11:22] ActionParsnip1: The main concern is that if I can use it on the SD card only, I do have a spare one I could try messing about with... but if I'd have to mess with the UNR installation itself, it's probably not worth the trouble.

Pardon the housekeeping. [11:24] anyone know what i'm doing wrong/ [11:24] Impy^, I wanted to know that too, plz someone help us.. [11:25] i've been playing around with it for ages and can't seem to get it :/ [11:25] Impy^, take away that auto option from that line. [11:26] Hello. I was wondering if it was possible to show usb live input from devices in therminal? [11:26] what are those all ? [11:26] and that'll do it jasa? [11:26] Impy^, alsa you sure it's vfat and not ntfs ? ... but that auto option is mostly on cdroms and similiar. [11:26] yeah i'm sure it's vfat [11:26] Impy^, pretty sure that should do that. [11:26] Impy^: in fact, why not use "defaults" as options [11:26] i need to configure network in ubntu [11:26] i made it fat32 so icould access it in windows and ubuntu [11:26] any body help me? [11:27] i want to be able to read/write to it mord [11:27] Impy^, usually i have always defaults before those other options and then those small mods behind those ... but i guess it does it by "default" even ... =) [11:27] Impy^, And what do I do for NTFS ? [11:27] and unmount my self [11:27] Impy^: looks ok, just make sure the folder /media/sda2 exists [11:27] yeah it exists [11:28] Impy^, defaults,rw,users [11:28] svn export fails if the exportpath contains symbolic links - is that a bug? plz do not refer to #svn, noone is helping there [11:28] defaults Uses the default options that are rw, suid, dev, exec, auto, nouser, and async. [11:28] So, is there a way to check without restarting.. [11:28] Impy^: could even add uid=1000 to the options [11:28] Where does the system feedback harvested go to (the once in a week system stats)? [11:28] what would that do actionparsnip1? [11:28] Impy^: allow everyone full access [11:28] ah [11:29] i'll try that [11:29] the thing is when i start comptuer the partition is showing up in computer [11:29] but i just have to click it to access stuff [11:29] and for music programs to access music there too? [11:30] Does anyone know of a good MIDI player for Linux? [11:31] No, I do,'t know [11:31] Impy^: linux can read and write to ntfs ok nowadays (some folders on system partitions arent editable but are certainly readable) but for simple data storage, ntfs is 100% fine [11:31] silare: timidity, I guess, is the only real option [11:31] Impy^: its also more robust than fat32 [11:31] alankila: Alright...

Midi isn't very complicated, but the audio synthesis is with some sampled sounds and I don't think the sounds are very good. But that's fault of midi in general: it only plays correctly on the particular hardware/software combo you composed the stuff on [11:32] Impy^: if you add it in fstab, it will simply be a folder, the kernel will manage the rest [11:33] ahh okie dokie thanks for your help [11:33] brb [11:33] Does anyone know of a good channel for Ubuntu security ? === werti_rus is now known as always_hungry [11:34] alankila: Yeah...

[11:34] sam1: here [11:34] silare: midii is great, tiny files for music. good times [11:35] ActionParsnip1: Back then, yes. But it has to be on the same type of device that wrote it.

However, I'd like to clarify something about loading a module - at step 8. module needs to be added IF NOT USING Jaunty. I have Jaunty, so I can skip it. But at step 9. it talks about updating /etc/modules to autload LVM - can I skip this step too, since Jaunty already has the module "compiled into kernel"?

[11:43] ribatejo: then see if you can run that comand [11:44] I'd like to see proper LVM support in any Linux distro instead of just Fedora, RHEL and CentOS [11:45] its a pretty nice way of doing things [11:46] Callum_: my problem is that LVM isn't really used for what I'm trying to do (just one partition on one disk, mounted in its own directory), so the guides and documentation seem to (naturally) concentrate on other cases. [11:46] hey guys im in kubuntu and i minimized konquerer.. where the heck did it go? [11:46] did it close? [11:47] i dont see it [11:47] why are you trying to use LVM for that, then? [11:48] Ileden: LVM is mainly used for many many partitions spread over 1 or more drives [11:48] or 1 over many drives, either way =P [11:50] Callum_: I need to use it to get my Aspire One laptop to suspend when SD card is inserted. (I know, I know, it makes me laugh too :D) [11:50] o_o [11:50] heh [11:51] Callum_: A gentoo wiki page mentioned that this might be a workaround for the suspend problem. :) [11:51] I've got LVM on one partition of one drive currently - the eventual plan is to throw a 2nd HDD in the machine and have a seamless /home [11:51] acutally now that I've read more about LVM, it really seems like something I'd like to use regularly too :) [11:51] I need to put a seamless /home on my machine, its annoying because every couple of months I reinstall my Linux distro, and starting out with different homes is annoying [11:52] Actually, maybe I can load my home directory from my server...

[11:59] 007 is the umask option thats used to set the file permissions by default [11:59] gid sets the default group who owns the files [11:59] Dr_Willis, does 007 means 111 which is RW_ [11:59] 007 sets everything to --> -rwxrwxrwx here [12:00] ive seen examples use umask=0000 also or 0222 [12:00] try the diffrent #'s and see what changes. :) that one way to learn it [12:01] http://www.linuxsecurity.com/content/view/117255/ umask tutorial [12:01] Dr_Willis, Ok :) I have sda1 which is NTFS so what do I do to automount it ? [12:01] Dr_Willis, different is ? [12:01] Callum_, Madpilot: So the idea seems to be to create a volume group (VG) on the disk, then creating a logical volume (LV) on it. Is this LV then then something that can be formatted as ext3? Can that then be mounted with fstab regularly, or do I need to use some LVM system to mount it? [12:01] pranav: change fileysstem to ntfs instead of vfat [12:02] Dr_Willis, thats it ? [12:02] pranav: bsaically [12:02] Dr_Willis, :) [12:02] and have the proper umask and other options [12:02] Ileden, I honestly can't remember. I set my current LVM arrangement up a year ago, and have since forgotten all the gory details... sorry. [12:02] 777 Default Permissions [12:03] -022 Subtract umask value, for example [12:03] Ileden: I think so [12:03] =755 Allowed Permissions [12:03] * Callum_ checks his /etc/fstab of his CentOS server [12:03] Ive never understood why theres just not a 'filepermissions=755' option...

[12:25] AdvoWork: well there is 8.10/9.04 and the beta 9.10 [12:26] AdvoWork: do you have some specific reason to upgrade [12:27] ikonia, no particular reason, but isnt it a good idea? [12:27] AdvoWork, with uname -r you got your version in terminal [12:27] AdvoWork: you're on an LTS (long term support) versio of ubuntu, unless you have reason to upgrade to a non-LTS verson (8.10/9.04/9.10) I would not advise it as you'll be better served/supported on your current release. [12:28] ikonia, ahh ok [12:30] Ok, I guess this question was inevitable: how do you set it so that a user can start/stop a service/daemon? It seems I'm the only person on the internet trying to do this. Maybe there's a reason for that. >.> [12:30] DefineByte: create a sudo rule for that user/group [12:30] hello [12:30] DefineByte: one way would be to set up sudo to allow the 'service' command to be ran by that user. I think. [12:30] but that may allow all services.. [12:31] Dr_Willis: nope you can set the specific command [12:31] ikonia: i seem to remember doing somthing like that for halt. thanks, i'll have to look it up.

[12:34] DefineByte: what's reason for this - I might be able to suggest something else [12:34] Dr_Willis: because i don't want sshd running all the time. It's for a jukebox so most of the time it's just playing music. :) [12:34] cornet: see ^ :) [12:34] i00nsu: yes [12:35] maybe I'm just being paranoid [12:35] DefineByte: I think you probably are . Just run ssh, disable passwords, use keys and set UsePAM No in sshd_config [12:36] cornet: Disabling PAM? [12:36] Hi, Is it a known issue that Ubuntu 9.04 no longer connects to my network/internet after suspend function is used? [12:36] grawity: yes, or reconfigure PAM so that it doesn't allow passwords over ssh [12:36] i m using 9.054 remix and its [12:37] working correctly [12:37] grawity: if you've set a password for a user then even if you disable password auth in sshd_config it will STILL let you log in with a password as it'll pass PAM authentication [12:37] cornet: No, reconfigure _sshd_ - by disabling PasswordAuthentication. [12:37] ikonia: how? send me a link that explain that for me please [12:37] cornet: it's just, i've got a kernel without iptables configured and I thought it would be safest. I've already setup keys, disabled root login, disabled passwords. I'll look into PAM. thanks. [12:37] or not? do i not need to worry about that grawity? [12:37] cornet: I'll try :| [12:37] DefineByte: try logging in with password over ssh [12:38] i have and i can't [12:38] (Don't forget that you must restart sshd after editing configs) [12:38] yes, i set it up last week. i thinks it's solid [12:38] but never changed anything about PAM [12:38] humm, looks like this issue might have been sorted on ubunutu then [12:39] * cornet tests [12:39] cornet: Don't forget to disable KbdInteractiveAuthentication too. [12:39] what's that? [12:39] KbdInteractive kinda simulates a local login: it sends a prompt, you type a reply... (Usually, it's just one "Password:" prompt, but can be more.) [12:40] hey guys im in kubuntu and i minimized konquerer.. where the heck did it go? it disappears totaly. [12:40] Hi, Is it a known issue that Ubuntu 9.04 no longer connects to my network/internet after suspend function is used? Does anyone have this problem or has been able to work around it? === loki_ is now known as loki_666 [12:40] PasswordAuthentication, on the other hand, uses _only_ a single password. [12:40] So disable both. [12:40] well, i've set usepam to no anyway, i guess it can't hurt [12:40] thanks i'll ltry and find it :D === wet-chan is now known as wet [12:40] DefineByte: I recommend keeping PAM enabled. [12:40] really? x) [12:41] ok, why's that? [12:41] looks like i could be wrong [12:42] i'm not seeing anything about kbdinteractiveauth. should i create it? [12:42] Ok, here's a beginnerish question: I was "mv"ing a directory to another volume, but had inefficient permissions for some of them. I'd now like to continue the mv with sudo permissions, but mv command fails because the destination already has a part of the original source... how do I do "mv" with appending the files? [12:42] opHa [12:43] I hope i dont disturb. [12:43] First of all i dont speek english very good, but i think you are able to understand me. ;) [12:43] Now the question: i have created a bootable usb-device with unetbootin and if i install a program in the "Live - System", after shut down the program isnt installed more. Can i change it? [12:43] C--: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

To be able to save changes, you'll need to make it use a "persistent overlay"... I don't know how to set up one though. [12:46] grawity: seems like i've already set that. :) [12:46] so i'm locked now then? :) [12:46] once a restart sshd/ === brez_ is now known as brEz [12:46] I have: "source/dir/newfile" and "destination/dir/oldfile" - only with a huge amount of files. I want to move "mv source/dir destination/", but it fails because "destination/dir" already exists. How do I do this? [12:47] grawity: perhaps sombody else knows it :) but thanks for your help [12:47] unetbootin cant make a peristant save from what ive seen. The Usb-creater tool in ubuntu can. or the scripts at pendrivelinux.org (com?) also tell you how === brEz is now known as brez [12:47] Ileden: name destination folder something else? [12:48] where can i find the usb-creator [12:48] ok, i think i'll scrap the "user starting sshd" idea. thanks all. :) [12:48] What was the "user starting sshd" idea? [12:49] geekphreak: I want the files to end up in the same place... also in reality there's a huge amount of subdirs too. [12:49] i was going to only start sshd in a user script if certain conditions were met. [12:50] grawity: well cheers for that. I can only assume i've missed that in the past because it's not documented in the man page sshd_config (useful) [12:50] Ileden: try mv -i /data /new_data [12:50] ot my gnome panels working but both: lxde and gnome panel [12:50] geekphreak: -n actually [12:50] i installed the ubuntu in my new machine but after the installation gets completed it says display out of range>> Please help me out [12:50] If I were interested in starting theming for GNOME, are there any places that have specific TUTORIALS/GUIDES that would help? >_> [12:50] cornet: These both are documented :| [12:50] grawity: aint -i interactive? === bizkit is now known as bizkits [12:50] geekphreak: And you'd need to press [n] for every file. [12:51] grawity: KbdInteractiveAuthentication is not documented in sshd_config [12:51] grawity: gotcha, ty :) [12:51] cornet: Huh...it isn't O_o [12:52] grawity: it's mentioned once w.r.t to "Match" and has a descrpition in ssh_config but not in sshd_config (where it should be IMO) [12:52] grawity: -n is an invalid option... [12:52] Ileden: Probably GNU-specific then. [12:52] -n, --no-clobber do not overwrite an existing file [12:52] :/ [12:53] Dr_Willis, do you mean the program listed in System->Preferences ,that is called Make "USB Startup disk"? [12:53] :d [12:53] C--: yes, [12:53] thanks [12:55] geekphreak: mv -i asks to overwrite "dir", and cannot do that since it's not empty... [12:56] After following this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LDAPClientAuthentication, I still can't login using ldap against Active Directory. The error I'm getting is "pam_unix(sshd:auth): check pass; user unknown". Is there anything I should be looking at which might help solve this? [12:56] Ileden: hmmm [12:57] I'd imagine this is a simple thing... moving from source to destination, appending to existing folders when appropriate. [12:58] hi [12:58] http://patrick.spacesurfer.com/ie_wine_install.html [12:58] im following this, but my file ~/.wine/conf is empty [12:58] is there some special place to find it in the ubuntu version? [13:00] What I'm searching for is the move equivalent of "cp -a source/dir destination/" [13:04] Oh well, I can just use cp, and remove the files after... but this seemed like something that would get a simple answer in few secs. :) [13:05] loz_: Yes - but don't forget that formatting destroys all data.

[13:18] i was reading about the new 2.6.31 kernel. Can I get that on jaunty? [13:19] loz_: try hdparm -T /dev/sda [13:19] When you specify the option --device-map (see Basic usage), the grub shell creates the device map file automatically unless it already exists.

[13:21] like tasm [13:21] well, that depends on what you mean by "speed up the computer" [13:21] !find tasm [13:21] File tasm found in afterstep, autoconf-archive, binfmtc, codeblocks, fpc-source (and 14 others) [13:22] !info yasm [13:22] yasm (source: yasm): modular assembler with multiple syntaxes support. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.7.1-0ubuntu2 (jaunty), package size 519 kB, installed size 1468 kB [13:22] pranav: not often one sees "cool" and "assembler" in the same sentence.

[13:24] but !ot [13:25] it is how you set it up i guess :) [13:25] uhm wait, it does say "most secure *windows* ever" [13:25] lol you're talking about this buggy thingy called XP? :P [13:25] well if you dont plug it into a network... [13:25] YUKK [13:25] IdleOne: well... their competition in that category wasn't doing so hot so it wasn't that hard to top [13:26] Compared to older releases, XP is secure. Compared to newer releases, XP is buggy. Compared to Linux... these things just can't be compared. [13:26] lol [13:26] jac0b, you should keep in mind though that 2.6.31 is still not stabe yet, so if you are not familiar juggling around with kernels you should probably wait for karmic to ship it [13:26] grawity: like comparing oranges to a Ferrari [13:26] nick yancey [13:27] IdleOne: More like a truck to a Ferrari.

[13:35] or can i open firefox in a safemode? [13:35] exit [13:35] brent__: run in terminal firefox -safe-mode [13:35] linux doesnt have a "safe mode" as such [13:35] firefox does [13:35] now here's a good one, I got 3 usb ports on this (new) laptop, when I stick my wireless mouse nub into port 3, it doesn't work, dmesg says it can't enumerate the device, when I stick it in 1 or 2, it works fine, any way to fix this? [13:35] brent__: no start firefox in safemode [13:35] JeoTheLeo: my devic.map = 2 lines..

[13:36] I see [13:36] spud|work: yeah! ... single user [13:36] (hd1) /dev/sdb [13:36] eww [13:36] basically "safe mode" means disabling fancy smancy stuff which might go wrong; most oses have it. [13:36] i dunno how you would do it in linux [13:37] ubuntu has recue mode , works good for me , i need it most times, heheh :) [13:37] rescue* [13:38] action parsnip- where do i learn all those types of commands?

[13:44] i will have a look around [13:44] hi [13:44] Otacon22: what do you mean 'reverse' ssh tunnel? [13:44] brez, Otacon22: I guess the ssh -R option? === bullgard is now known as bullgard4 [13:44] brez, my computer is behind a router and i want to put an apache server on my pc... [13:44] is a reverse tunnle a bridge? [13:44] Are there a Grub package to Ubuntu 8.10 to support ext4 boot? I have other operating system in dual boot using ext4 partitions [13:44] oh [13:44] so i want to connect myself by ssh to an external server [13:45] and then say to it to send connections from port 80 to my pc [13:45] understood? [13:45] si [13:46] how to install just base system from ubuntu bootable disc ? [13:46] i have an ATI RV350 card and i was wondering if there's a way to check its temperature (no, i don't know whether it has a sensor in the first place) [13:46] !minimal [13:46] The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [13:46] Otacon22: On the Apache server, ssh -R 80:apacheserveraddress:80 -- the first 80 is what port ssh will listen on; and don't forget that ports lower than 1024 require root access. [13:46] apacheserveraddress is the external server? [13:47] Otacon22: No, it's the server you're running Apache on. [13:47] so localhost [13:47] No :| [13:47] i can't access to here from the other server [13:47] Or... yeah, localhost _might_ work [13:47] take care all, cya :) [13:47] i have to start the connection from here === sean is now known as Guest73855 [13:47] ssh -R 80:localhost:80 root@externalserveraddress [13:49] Otacon22: That should work. [13:49] Otacon22: If it doesn't, add a -v option. [13:49] -v ? [13:49] verbose [13:49] ok === nicky_cutez is now known as MOCCY [13:51] can "dsl" use all packages of ubuntu repositories ? [13:51] pranav: why don't you ask in the DSL channel? [13:53] pranav: Is 'dsl' Debian-based? [13:53] DSL is not debian based last i checed [13:53] and its defaintaly not Ubuntu based [13:53] LjL: use sensors-detect to actually find out if there is a temp sensor in your vga card? (nice to see you again btw) [13:53] anyone knows anything about the System map error? [13:54] hi erUSUL, yeah i've done it but it doesn't detect anything, but i didn't know whether i was supposed to in the first place [13:55] LjL: it does for my nvidia card. can not help further. [13:55] grawity, yes [13:55] JeoTheLeo: a System.map is generally built along with the kernel. have you recently built a new kernel on your machine? [13:55] anyone else having problems with clamav? Specifically /var/lib/clamav/main.cvd keeps getting corrupted somehow (i'm guessing due to freshclam), and so my mail silently grinds to a halt until i delete main.cvd & run freshclam... this only started happening a few weeks ago, but has now happened about 4 times... [13:55] yes sipior [13:55] How can i know the root password? [13:56] Akalbulusikus: There is none. [13:56] !root | Akalbulusikus [13:56] Akalbulusikus: 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 [13:56] JeoTheLeo: then you can find a System.map in the build directory. place it in /boot, preferably renamed to match the current kernel version. [13:56] erUSUL: a forum i'm reading does hint there may not be any sensor in this card, i don't trust forums much but maybe it's not worth investigating further. i'm mostly just trying to find out what's the biggest culprit for my computer heating up the surrounding air 4°C =) [13:57] errrm build directory? [13:57] LjL: we are heading to fall/winter... why comlaint for extra heat in he house XD [13:57] JeoTheLeo: where you put the source for the kernel you built :-) [13:57] hi, i'd like to add a user to ubuntu, but i cant unlock the user administration [13:57] the "unlock" button is inactive [13:57] the CD? [13:57] erUSUL: true, but for now it's still hot, and it'll be summer again in 9 months :P [13:58] hm, does ubuntu server not use bash as default shell? [13:58] pw-toxic: I don't know why it's so (not using Ubuntu now), but I can suggest 'adduser' as an alternative way. [13:58] JeoTheLeo: did you not build this kernel from source? [13:58] yes, from the liveCD [13:59] I didn't do it manually [13:59] JeoTheLeo: you don't mean "installed from a package" right? [13:59] JeoTheLeo: "build from source" means "compile the source code and install" :-) [14:00] ohhh [14:00] sorry for my misleading info then [14:00] still a newbie, which I believe you already figured out :D [14:00] JeoTheLeo: no worries. do you have a System.map file in /boot? [14:00] yes [14:01] but for some reason the kernel always gives the error message in the log files [14:01] JeoTheLeo: which matches the kernel version that you just installed? [14:01] "Cannot find map file." [14:01] it's an update [14:01] grawity, worked thanks [14:02] an update from the version I installed [14:02] JeoTheLeo: you might try installing the latest kernel package from synaptic/apt-get [14:05] it's up-to-date === Chiliblue_ is now known as Chiliblue [14:05] no new upgrades [14:05] hmm [14:06] hello!

[15:44] ikonia, So how do I remove everything except from the base system ? [15:44] sipior, is nautilus "zeroconf-enabled"? [15:44] ubuntu: open the package manager and remove any packages you don't want [15:45] ikonia: fair point, but i imagine it is possible. (if it doesn't advertise them, how does it automount them?) [15:46] RHorse; though esound is installed it says command not found [15:46] ikonia: also: http://fedorasolved.org/Members/fenris02/zero-configuration-networking-avahi [15:46] Trijntje: doesnt work with sudo -i. still get the same error message [15:46] shingalated, sipior: Nautilus is in no way related to zeroconf. [15:46] ikonia: that doesn't work as easy as it sounds, many useless packages will stay behind and will take considerable time to remove through synaptic [15:46] grawity: i didn't say that it was. [15:46] manually remove* [15:46] shingalated: you can use avahi to advertise nfs shares, assuming you have a zeroconf-enabled browser. [15:46] You did [15:46] sipior: it advertises them to other avahi services, which auto mounts, them so it's not advertising them to other things, such as browsers [15:46] Klatuferatanektu: just type sudo -i, hit enter and then you have a root shell. Don't forget to exit it when you're done [15:46] Sidewinder1, thanks for responding.. its 2GB ram [15:46] clearscreen, thats why I wanted clean base system [15:47] grawity: i don't see "nautilus" at any point in that sentence. [15:47] Does any one know how much good computer should be for service 12 seats in multiseat mode? [15:47] sipior: Browsers aren't related either. [15:47] PerryArmstrong type whereis esound [15:47] sipior: it's a more than acceptable solution, I'm not critisising it, just differentiating [15:47] ubuntu: yeah, that's one of the reasons I run debian myself.. completely blank install and i manually get gnome-core gdm xorg [15:47] grawity: perhaps we are talking past one another here. [15:47] Avahi does three things: 1) Zeroconf (link-local address assignment) handled by avahi-autoipd. 2) Service advertisement (mDNS) handled by avahi-daemon. 3) Multicast DNS resolving handled by avahi-dnsconfd (I think). [15:48] clearscreen, I want to do that too [15:48] sipior: Which one of the above? [15:48] RHorse; whereis esound [15:48] esound: /etc/esound /usr/lib/esound [15:48] dca_> That should be plenty of ram, I only have 1 gig and it works fine. Are you running any other graphics intensive program when this happens? Are you running virtual machines? Wubi? [15:48] Sidewinder1: Wubi doesn't use any more RAM as a normal install. [15:49] hey guys - does anyone know if Gimp does batch processing - for example if i have a folder of gif's and i want to resize them all in 1-go, can i do that? [15:49] Trijntje: still doesnt work for me :-/ no root shell appears. i stell get the same error message as described here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sudo/+bug/195308 [15:49] cyber_666_uk: For batch resizing, try the 'convert' tool in ImageMagick. [15:49] Can I install ubuntu on an empty USB harddrive? (with a swap partion) ? [15:49] PerryArmstrong sorry! the command is espeak, not esound. My bad [15:49] cyber_666_uk: 'convert' and 'mogrify', actually. (The difference is that 'mogrify' destroys the original.) [15:49] ubuntu: I would assume you can do the same with one of those minimal cd images, but it has annoyed me in the past that I couldn't get a blank install with my larger cd image [15:50] grawity: service advertisement. the point is, the client must have a way of selecting the services proffered. the original question was whether avahi can be used to advertise nfs shares. the answer is yes. [15:50] Klatuferatanektu: what are you trying to do? [15:50] sipior: Yeah, and that isn't zeroconf-related. [15:50] grawity: i quite agree.

However, when I press the middle button, the whole system freezes for a second. [15:51] grawity Thanx, but if it's running through winbloze wouldn't it use more ram than ubuntu native?

[15:52] Sidewinder1: 2) Uses Windows' NTLDR as bootloader (which chainloads grub). [15:52] Hi. I cant play mp3 files. When I click then, nothing happens. May be what?

The command "find /boot/grub/stage1" fails, but "find /grub/stage1" finds it on (hd0,0) as expected. Is the difference because I put /boot on its own partition?

[18:58] rich_dnb: okay? [18:58] I've read the man pages on iptables and ip, but didn't think that I'd be able to do it all from network/interfaces. I'll go read up on ufw and interfaces now, thanks!

[18:59] APirateIsFree, the time taken to fetch instructions from ram is far more less than to fetch from swap, when ever a cache mis occurs it needs to check out in the swap area [18:59] Lostinspace_46: packages.ubuntu.com [18:59] gnea: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7912176#post7912176 [19:00] got the thread posted [19:00] It's probably said that a swap size of almost 3 or 2 times the ram size is enough [19:00] is there more then one windows emulator for ubutnu, or is there just WINE?

[19:46] fccf: it was working prior to the upgrade fine [19:47] jess12345: I need to know a few things ... first sudo apt-get install pastebinit [19:47] DasEi: a mac, so hfs+ [19:47] fccf: blank screen something happens [19:47] DasEi: but this happens for netatalk too, afp === alphAEcho|ncuKsa is now known as alphAEcho [19:47] chuckc: so large files should be no problems, and I guess you checked space [19:47] is ubuntu good for a pentium 3 that will acts as a server ?

[19:50] VickiWong: why have you got seperate /boot? [19:50] ok ill knock it down a few GB thanks :D [19:50] endra: clam [19:50] wiiguy: I even use celerons for that purpose, as they consume less power, installation done on a big pIII, then changed proc, ram is important, also for updating (new kernel), or you will have to wait long for it [19:50] fccf: i cant install pastebinit [19:50] VickiWong: that's not really needed even the seperate /boot unless your doing for example the XFS file system, since Grub won't like it if /boot is in a XFS / in that case [19:50] so DasEi how much ram do ya think i need ? [19:51] fccf: it says e: invalid operation install [19:51] th0r: is it included in the ubuntu cd?

[20:14] jess12345: the one you should be able to get into from the boot loader [20:14] sebsebseb: i am on command line mode ? [20:14] jess12345: that should put x back to default, also removing any graphics card driver you put on [20:14] lenovo r61. [20:14] grawity, thats right, but as im making a new user with the same name im hoping it wont touch anything in /home [20:15] jess12345: oh I am not sure about xorg commands, but that xfix I am talking about, can fix a lot of problems [20:15] VickiWong: It shouldn't. [20:15] irc duga net [20:15] sebsebseb: i have tried prior versions, but does not work either [20:15] varunthacker: id hit google for the specific laptop and its linux support. perhaps some special tools for that feature exist.

[20:15] sebsebseb, ok thanks for the help ill use the same user :) [20:15] hey - does anyone know how to manually add the "show desktop" panel applet to say, a file menu or the desktop? [20:15] fine.thanks a lot anyways. [20:15] sebsebseb: it was working prior to the upgrade but not now, the graphics card should not impact this surely ? [20:15] Anyone know a fix for the DRDY ERR?

[20:26] Loafers: Yeah, that's what I was asctually trying to install, sorry [20:26] Still Couldn't find package usb-creator [20:26] sebsebseb: then i should go back to xp and uninstall wubi [20:26] khafra, you using jaunty? [20:26] Guest2717: better to do real partitions, but if Wubi is working for you, maybe keep it for now to try Ubuntu, and then put 9.10 on when it's released, with nice default rather fast to bootup Ext4 file system by default :) [20:26] mattgyver, i dont want a user.. i want that you can use the share drive "music" without any user [20:27] AFLunatic: Have you tried using a different hard drive?

[20:28] sebsebseb: does wubi clean out 100% itself when i uninstall? [20:28] Geschiest! [20:28] mattgyver, or did i misunderstand something? [20:28] Guest2717: let's troubleshoot your wireless issue instead. If it doesn't work on wubi, it probably wouldn't work on an actual install. Running live from a CD would be the best way to determine that. [20:28] khafra, Sry I'm wrong, it is only included in the LiveCD [20:28] Sounds like a controller issue. [20:28] \join #unity-coders [20:28] khafra, sudo apt-get install usb-creator [20:28] Have a great day to all you guys. Bye. [20:28] I can find out, one second, orificium_ [20:28] khafra, Make sure the software-sources are activated if you are on a live cd (software sources or sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list). You may need to install the python-gnome2 package as well. [20:28] dragon rite now i'm updating ubuntu so i have to wait [20:29] back [20:29] hmm [20:29] AFLunatic: I've had to use pci=nomsi in my boot loader for my SATA controller. [20:29] Does ext4 works for old hd for laptop [20:29] pw-toxic, very good possibility that im wrong cuz im no samba guru, however, I think if its set to public they can see it, but still need some sort of login to get into the share. [20:29] How can I determine whether I have 32-bit or 64-bit Java? [20:29] For example Dell inspiron 1501 [20:29] I don't know what that is.. [20:29] Loafers: I can install any other package, including packages from universe and multiverse. I've already got python-gnome2. Just can't even find usb-creator. Wow, That's Funny. [20:29] !ext4 | Guest2717 [20:29] Sorry, I don't know anything about ext4 [20:30] pw-toxic, i always create users and samba users depending on the access and share, but i might be going out of my way. It looks okay but thats a question to ask in #samba [20:30] mattgyver, yes i can see all those share drives from a windows 7 machine but if i try to double click on them, windows tells me that the path doesnt exist [20:30] Is it possible to install Ubuntu's default monospace font on Debian? It isn't included by default and I want it. [20:30] Hey chaps, quick question, why is the 64 bit download named desktop-amd64 when as far as I can tell it is a generic 64bit version? Have I missed something obvious? [20:30] AFLunatic: On the Live CD, you can modify the boot command and add "pci=nomsi" . But I believe it only applies to certain SATA controllers [20:30] _Maximus: sorry got distracted... try with -py (to repair the filesystem) [20:30] 1who | AFLunatic> [20:30] Motherboard is AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2800+ [20:31] khafra, Here: http://tr.im/y6FP [20:31] especially with the board this busy [20:31] Probably more to the point, is there a reason that it wouldn't install on an intell processor? [20:31] ind [20:31] <_Maximus> erUSUL: but it's mounted under the /home, is that ok? === ubuntu is now known as actualmind [20:31] once ubuntu 9.10 verison comes out do we have to format hard drive again? example if i have ext3 would i need to format it to ext4??? [20:31] kind of lame question, but there is hack that will let me upgrade a system to 64 bits from 32 bits without reinstall????/ [20:31] AFLunatic: that's not your motherboard. Do you know if its a SATA drive or IDE? wide flat cable, or small thin cable? [20:31] IDE [20:31] _Maximus: from a livecd ? or from recovery mode (in grub) [20:32] <_Maximus> erUSUL: also, if only run without any parameters, shouldn't it say if it has any errors? at least? [20:32] I assume yes. [20:32] Loafers: Thanks! unfortunately "Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: python-central" even though "python-central is already the newest version" [20:32] I think it's safe to say at this point that the universe hates me. [20:32] mattgyver, they seem to be afk there ;) did you suggest to create a user named nobody? [20:32] pw-toxic, is the /share directory within the root of your filesystem? [20:32] khafra, Time to upgrade to Jaunty :D [20:32] Hi , After reinstalling setting a software Raid in my system The mouse and Keyboard are not responding in the X only in text-mode , I had created a new initrd.gz during installation , does any one know why is it happening? [20:33] Loafers: Exactly what I'm trying to do! Gaaaaah! [20:33] _Maximus: well maybe there is no error per se but just "lost inodes" ... seen this before it may help or may not but it is the only thing i can think it would help [20:33] om [20:33] Hi all. Just finished installing LTS8.04 based on some howto. Now wanting to know what the best PABX system is for Ubuntu. Want to register with multiple voip providers? any suggestions? [20:33] pw-toxic, yeah you could do that, but if you can see the share, but are told the path is wrong then you may have public set correct [20:33] Per google, trixbox doesnt install easily [20:33] AFLunatic: You get DRDY error with all (3) drives? [20:33] khafra, Install windows then :D [20:33] orificium_, yes all 3 [20:33] can I upgrade a 32 bits system to 64 bits ubuntu without reinstall? is it possible??? [20:33] and with the Live CD not even loading on the HDD [20:33] <_Maximus> erUSUL: I'll try it... [20:33] mattgyver, i can also see the non public drives and if i double click on those folders on windows7 he ask for username + password [20:34] Loafers: Actually, that's not a bad idea. I have XP running on an old laptop; I could try the Windows LiveUSB installer on that. [20:34] join #glebelgirc [20:34] AFLunatic: LiveCD doesn't load onto HDD, it'll load into memory. Does the liveCD start? [20:34] pw-toxic, yes if you get that create a false user [20:34] I know [20:34] AFLunatic> This board's so busy; should I try to help you in private? [20:34] No it doesn't start [20:34] Does anyone know how to setup the new partation for 9.04 is ext4 (4gb?) /home (4gb?) and /swap (2gb?) [20:34] If you'd like, I don't know what else to do to get Ubuntu :/ [20:34] dragon: http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml [20:34] mattgyver, what is a false user? [20:35] no one know if there's any relation between initrd.gz and X? [20:35] dragon to setup the new partation for 9.04 is ext4 (4gb?) /home (4gb?) and /swap (2gb?) [20:35] sebsebseb: [20:35] pw-toxic, sudo useradd -d /dev/null -s /sbin/nologin -g (Group) username (this will create a user w/o a home directory and other access) [20:35] Guest2717: uhmm [20:35] AFLunatic: Try pulling out all hard drives, and starting up LiveCD. [20:35] It has to be my processor or something, I can't even get it to load the Demo [20:35] !partitioning | Guest2717 [20:35] Guest2717: For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted, !QtParted (!Kubuntu 8.10 and lower) or !PartitionManager (!Kubuntu 9.04 and up) - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap [20:35] Guest2717: Ext4 can still be a little dodgy in Ubuntu 9.04, because they do not have a proper kernel for it [20:36] actualmind: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Initrd [20:36] Guest2717: 9.10 will have though [20:36] pw-toxic, then do a sudo passwd (username) and set a pw for the user. AFter that run a sudo smbpasswd -a (username) and enter a password. [20:36] Hi [20:36] AFLunatic: Did you try running memtest from liveCD? [20:36] orificium_, I also tried that. I disconnected every hard drive, I only had my DVD+RW still connected and booting the LiveCD [20:36] pw-toxic, then in your smb.conf add that user to the 'Valid-Users' line in the config, and you should be able to access the shares. [20:36] It won't let me load the memtest [20:36] anyone very familure with vi? [20:37] AFLunatic: Did you try burning another copy of Ubuntu? [20:37] aliendev211, we all should be ;) [20:37] aliendev211: Yeah, stop using it, and use Nano :) [20:37] aliendev211: What is your real question? [20:37] Yes, and USB loaded it [20:37] can't play .mp4 files, installed ffmpeg,bad,ugly,gstream. Help? [20:37] Aivaras: try VLC? [20:37] arand, I want to know if ubuntu loads something X related in the initrd , wikipedia won't tell me that =))) [20:37] No go on USB, HDD install, or LiveCD [20:37] Aivaras: Try VLC. If it can't play the file, nothing can. [20:37] halfpastzero, not working [20:37] pw-toxic, if you ever try to login to x with that user, its gonna just hang with a black screen, it also does not have ssh access, just so you know. [20:37] i open an app through wine and all letters are missing [20:37] Dr_Willis, so i did what you said concuring the ffmpeg and in shorit it did not work [20:38] wtf? [20:38] grawity, it plays but in fast forward and no video :( [20:38] arand, do you have the default initrd.gz of the alternate installation? [20:38] sebsebseb: if i'm on laptop and on a slow one what cmds or settings i need to set too? [20:38] hey guys i currently dont have a internet connection and i need to install gnome network manager and all i have is the ubuntu cd any ideas on how i can do that?

[20:39] leave [20:39] oops [20:39] smogattack: Import that key [20:39] hey guys i currently dont have a internet connection and i need to install gnome network manager and all i have is the ubuntu cd any ideas on how i can do that?

[20:41] i have a dedicated server, which after restart stopped allowing me to connect via ssh, can anyone suggest a course of action? i'm about to go into rescue mode console, btw the only entry i added and the only entry that existed prior to the reboot when this all started was iptables -A INPUT -s 91.199.22.61 -j DROP [20:41] grawity, even though I removed it already? [20:41] orificium i dont have the network manager on the other computer [20:41] smogattack: The message is not about Opera itself, it's just about the Opera software repositories. [20:42] ohh I see. thank you grawity [20:42] actualmind: I think the one in the alternate install should be exactly the same, afaik. But which kernel? and it is -generic, right? [20:42] that ip was hammering my root login, so i blocked all traffic from it, that is not my ip [20:42] DasEi: thank you very much for your help, ntfs works a treat!

[20:42] grawity, ta [20:42] dumont: Just make sure you have a good password. (Disabling root logins is a good idea too.) [20:42] sebastian_: What does ifconfig in the console do for you? [20:42] grawity that's not what i asked, i said SSH IS TIMING OUT [20:43] mattgyver, im kinda confused.. i did the same settings for my music folder as with another folder that works with asking for username and password.. .. i think i have to try out a lot until i get it working ;) [20:43] Isn't gnome network manager justa GUI frotend? [20:43] grawity, i cannot see samba shares under network, yet i can manually map to them? [20:43] ie the server isn't allowing me to connect to ssh [20:43] has anyone else had the issue where in firefox, you try to type in the address bar and it highlights and deletes what you're typing? it's too hard to describe in google so i can't find it anywhere... [20:43] hey! where is bitchx ???? [20:43] Can someone send me the default alternate initrd.gz? [20:43] hi everyone [20:43] pw-toxic, so [music] works? [20:43] ulaas: Compile from source. [20:44] ulaas: bitchX was removed form the repos because it was unsupported and has some large dangerous security holes [20:44] rich_dnb: Browsing uses some NetBIOS thing, while mapping is just a plain old connection. [20:44] arand, seems like I'm going to have to download the iso =( [20:44] Orificium well it gives some weird info about the network [20:44] arand, thanks for the help anyway =) [20:44] Flannel, recommendations?

[20:46] Tried to compile with USE_CODEC_VORBIS = 1, but still it wants to use wavs instead [20:46] shh is timing out [20:46] MrPiracy: You'll have a permission headache (NTFS doesn't support Unix modes). Other than that, it can work fine. [20:46] dumont: there's a good reason to advice against root password. [20:46] samba and sambafs, i can connect using samba, just the bloody browsing doesnt work [20:46] How comes there is no Equalizers for your audio playback in Ubuntu or is there one I don't know about?

I was just reading someone else question on this that stated Audacious. Thanks [20:48] MrPiracy: I believe there are programs to do READ-ONLY access of ext2/ext3 [20:48] can Ubuntu have a different background on each desktop?

However, I cannto set it to that in the system settings, as the only options are for non-widescreen aspect ratio. How can I fix this? dpkg-reconfigure does nothing and I need someone to help me step by step [21:02] how do I access /etc, since i do not know how to mount it in rescue mode [21:02] does anyone know of any good music converters?

[23:24] sascha powertop is pretty cool, I like how it suggests thigns to correct based on its readings [23:24] BlackViper2: then you can type: ! is [23:24] e1nh4nd3r, afaik thats the normal behaviour, but i think it can also be told to write into some file [23:24] ActionParsnip, cool [23:24] thanks [23:24] for those of you who use your chat client for aim,irc, yahoo etc etc....are you using pidgin or is there something lighter [23:24] No not yet [23:24] ActionParsnip: BlackViper2: you have to have a registered nick on freenode though [23:24] BlackViper2: dont go adding random stuff, its a waste of time as the admins need to review submissions [23:24] ok [23:25] WaterRatj: ok Wubi or Virtual machine [23:25] Wubi [23:25] kudi: pidgin is pretty light [23:25] Kudi [23:25] WaterRatj: virtual machine may be better for now as in before 9.10 is released, how much RAM do you have? [23:25] Bitlbee irc server [23:25] Use wubi [23:25] what type of file system should I use for the swap and / partitions? [23:25] Its awsome [23:25] fishbulb, powertop is also being integrated into gnome's power manager. [23:26] on the pc for linux on 512 [23:26] Stewy: try rebooting the router [23:26] sascha_: That's good to know. :) Thanks. [23:26] fishbulb, hopefully at some point it will be accessible on the desktop and settings can be saved [23:26] i cant burn cd's and i dont have a usb drive and i used unetbootin to do my distro hopping [23:26] WaterRatj: oh 512MB RAM I see, which means a vm will be slow [23:26] WaterRatj: or will probably be slow [23:26] Just trying Empathy, sorry for the noise:-( [23:26] uhu i know :d [23:26] how do i check my IP via terminal? [23:27] ActionParsnip: can't from where i'm sat. will have to do it when i'm back in the office tomorrow. [23:27] WaterRatj: Have you done Ubuntu before or any other Linux distro? [23:27] sascha, awesome, thanks for the heads up. [23:27] omgd: ? [23:27] ActionParsnip: cheers for the help though matey. i think i'll tackle it with a fresh head tomorrow :) [23:27] I used ubuntu live cd once, and debian and crunchbang thats based on ubuntu [23:27] Use irssi and connect to the bitlbee server [23:28] hi all [23:28] !hi |azooz [23:28] azooz: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [23:28] i need help : ) in apcahe server in backtrack4 [23:28] hi every one [23:28] can any one tell me haw i run it ? [23:28] could any one give me page help to ssh [23:28] !details | azooz [23:28] azooz: 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 ..." [23:29] Ok, Empathy seems to work. I didn't get it to download a list of chatrooms, but had to join this channel manually by typing in #ubuntu. Bug? Feature (that I don't understand) or misconfiguration? Pidgin shows room/channel lists when I'd expect to see them... [23:30] RichiV: ifconfig [23:30] I'm still on Intrepid and I'm wondering if there's a specific setting in my .gtkrc file or something to set the colors for notification-daemon [23:30] A Question: I am in the manual partitioner, trying to create a swap partition - the bottom option says Mount Point and gives the options to select "/", "/boot", "/home", "/tmp", "/usr", "/var", "/srv", "/opt", and "/usr/local". --which to i choose to be able to use it as a swat? or does it matter?? [23:30] ctmjr: ty [23:31] Okay, Im trying to copy some files that are on my Windows partition (which appears to be /dev/sda2, but is "mounted" on /host). I can access it with cd /host, but then I can't navigate into any further directories. How would I do this? [23:31] and what file system should be used? does it matter? [23:31] WaterRatj: well you could find out about that netinstall to do a more proper set up, but if I was you I woudn't bother finding out loads about that, before Ubuntu 9.10 is released at the end of October. With the fast to boot and shutdown Ext4 file system by default :) 10 seconds or so boot up yeah :). So you can do 9.04 with Wubi whilst waiting for that, and then netinstall for 9.10. Or do 9.10 with Wubi which as far as I know [23:31] won't be using Ext4. [23:31] WaterRatj: when I looked into netinstall a bit, and someone was telling me about it, it seemed a bit complacted [23:32] Darkebrz: try without / in front, like /host$ : cd windows [23:32] RichiV: no problem [23:33] Okay thanks for the help :D [23:33] WaterRatj: ok so what you going to do? Wubi 9.04 and then? oh yeah and no probs [23:34] Yeah prolly, its just for testing purpose anyway, but only downside is, no wayfor wubi for minimal installation [23:35] Is there anyway to sync ipodtouch on ubuntu? [23:35] WaterRatj: well you can remove stuff that has been installed by default, from it [23:35] WaterRatj: I think [23:35] DasEi: I'm sorry, I really don't understand. I'm just trying to navigate directories. What is '/host$ : cd windows' supposed to do? [23:36] Darkebrz: What are you trying to do [23:36] Im trying to navigate the directories of my windows partition [23:36] Darkebrz: you said it's mounted on /host, so first cd /host, then cd windows or whatever you have [23:37] When you cd to /host -- whats listed when you do a ls -la or dir statement [23:37] what is a good log viewer? [23:37] tail -f [23:38] is 8192mb too big for a swap partition? [23:38] phoenixhouse: how much RAM do you have? [23:38] 3gb [23:38] LinuxGold, i need something to convert timestamps [23:38] it is practical to mach swap file with RAM size [23:38] phoenixhouse: Ive never needed one that big but it wont hurt [23:38] kevdog: It lists all my files in what would be C:\\ and some information that I don't understand [23:38] !swap [23:38] 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 [23:38] s/mach/match/ [23:38] WaterRatj: Did I actsauly go on webpages regarding the netinstall hmm, anyway good luck [23:38] WaterRatj: with Wubi [23:39] Darkebrz -- Ok so what if you just do from the host directory a cd [23:39] phoenixhouse: If I were you, I would split into 3 Gb each, inactivate 1 and turn it on when needed. [23:39] kevdog: Oh thanks, that worked :P [23:39] i never thought of that [23:39] Darkebrz: You may also be running into a permissions problem -- meaning that you will need to be the owner and group [23:39] :) [23:40] sebsebseb: Hmm, my desktop has option boot from usb but when i burn iso to stick it won't boot? you know how this would be caused? [23:40] WaterRatj: put USB has the first boot device, and make sure you put Ubuntu on properly onto the USB stick, then it should work I guess [23:40] !usb | WaterRatj [23:40] WaterRatj: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [23:41] phoenixhouse: If you NEVER used that 2nd swap, use it for music files ;) [23:41] WaterRatj: ,but yes installing from USB stick or using a persistent USB install, would be better than using Wubi [23:41] does mythtv work with xbox360? [23:41] i'm making one with, UNetbootin is this ok? [23:41] WaterRatj: yep that should do it [23:42] Hi, how can I change the 'comments' font color in Bluefish? It is white and matches background color very difficult to read? Thanks [23:42] sebsebseb: okay its still busy, you still online for a bit? [23:42] xguru: the #mythtv channel might be able to answer that [23:43] WaterRatj: yep [23:43] Please, i need help to make the sound work on my hp pavilion dv3000 [23:43] ctmjr_: thanks [23:43] I have a cell phone with a 3G data connection. I'd like to tether it to my ubuntu netbook over USB; anyone have any guidance as to how to pull this off? [23:43] it has been ten days i am trying to solve it.. but no way [23:43] i have looked everywhere on google... [23:43] in vain [23:43] panv: No sound whatsoever? [23:43] KB1JWQ, i cannot hear any sound [23:44] and i don't know what to do [23:44] panv: I have a fix for you in my archives, stand by [23:44] am ready KB1JWQ [23:44] so for the Location of New Partition (beginning/end) option, the End option will place it at the outermost ring of the hard drive? [23:44] panv: Taking a few minutes to sync; I'll ping you when I have the link ready. [23:45] am over here.. waiting KB1JWQ [23:45] (and thus have the fastest read/write speed on the disk) [23:45] panv: have you tried plugging in a pair of headsets? [23:45] ya.. fccf .. it wouldnt' work too [23:45] my mdadm software raid failed after a drive assignment change. how do I get it running again? [23:45] i suspect it's a hardware issue... [23:45] phoenixhouse: that is in theory, i used swapfile from inside hard drive, performance didn't show any difference. [23:46] coz i don't have slider for sound [23:46] but rather.. some sort of a touchpad [23:46] phoenixhouse: I would just set a swap file somewhere and get over with. [23:46] panv: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/318942 Should apply to yours as well [23:46] k === Xoop is now known as Xap [23:46] are bots allowed in here? [23:46] i'll check KB1JWQ [23:46] thanks for trying.. i hope it works.. [23:46] panv check the bios to see if there's a way to disable the touchpad control [23:46] EpicReviews: only offical Ubuntu bots [23:47] oh ok. [23:47] EpicReviews: as far as I know you can check in #ubuntu-ops if you like [23:47] sebsebseb: there's a learning bot in here right now, all it does is learn conversation [23:48] EpicReviews: meaning? [23:48] sebsebseb: it's just gaining knowledge right now. [23:48] EpicReviews: what bot? [23:48] it's a secret ;) [23:48] EpicReviews: a bit that gains knowledge hmm??? [23:49] EpicReviews: well not everything that is said in here is Ubuntu knowledge [23:49] EpicReviews: you brought it in here? [23:49] !bot [23:49] Hi! 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 [23:49] I did not bring it in [23:49] EpicReviews: bot not bit above [23:49] so if im using 64-bit ubuntu, does it matter if i format with ext3 or ext4? [23:49] Hello. [23:49] phoenixhouse: not exactly, but [23:50] phoenixhouse: Ext4 is a bit hmm in Ubuntu 9.04, but will be the default in 9.10, and it has 10 seconds or so boot up :) [23:50] sebsebseb: How is it hmm? [23:50] when will 9.10 come out? [23:50] sebsebseb: ext4 I mean [23:50] !karmic | LinuxGold [23:50] LinuxGold: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 29th, 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [23:50] cool [23:50] eboyjr: in 9.04, because they don't have a proper kernel for it, and so people can for example get a lockup issue when deleting big files, and so on [23:51] Isn't the name 10 -- pretty much indicative it will come out in Oct? [23:51] kevdog: yep year and month [23:51] sebsebseb: Oh I see thanks [23:51] EpicReviews: who runs it? [23:51] so i think ill use ext4 then, so i can upgrade to 9.10 easier [23:52] * EpicReviews tells no tales, but it wasn't me. [23:52] EpicReviews: but you know :) [23:52] Hey guys. I am trying to test postfix, and I am getting some errors and I have no clue what they mean. For example 'relay access denied'. [23:52] Gnea: it's not doing harm, just learning english I guess [23:53] eboyjr: That can be any number of things. You added your WAN IP to the list of allowed hosts for relay on your postfix server? [23:53] EpicReviews: doesn't matter, if the bot isn't authorized to be here, it's here against the channel authority. is it in #ubuntu-bots too? [23:53] !hi [23:53] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [23:53] :) [23:54] Hey guys, I have an issue. [23:54] !ask [23:54] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [23:54] eboyjr: there is a #postfix channel ... you might get better help there [23:54] so does 2x 3GB swap partitions, a 1GB /boot partition, and a 32GB / partition seem reasonable? [23:54] phoenixhouse: Perfectly reasonable. [23:54] :) [23:55] fccf: e1nh4nd3r: Okay. I will try in #postfix. [23:55] thanks! [23:55] phoenixhouse: Why not try 1x 6gb partition? [23:55] Bit simpler, no? [23:56] is there a bug open for intermittent filesystem corruption on jaunty x64? see it with stock kernel & latest from mainline ppa [23:56] e1nh4nd3r: with two swap partitions at the same prio linux does raid 0 between them so performance is better [23:56] My laptop's cd drive broke, it currently has windows xp installed. I want to install ubuntu on it, however, since the cd drive doesn't work, I tried unetbootin to use a live usb, however the laptop doesn't work with usb. So now I need to install to the hard disk, so ubuntu uses the whole drive, but install from inside windows? is this possible? [23:56] It seems that the support for my video card kinda sucks, I have to install a proprietary video driver with little options for me to edit. [23:56] Are there better alternatives? [23:56] e1nh4nd3r: the reasons for that were argued to me earlier today... [23:56] meh [23:57] Hi all... as of late my system monitor (Jaunty desktop) is showing 100% CPU usage and load avg 2.5-3 for a 2002-era 2,4 P4. I don't see any programs or other users in the background causing this - any suggestions on steps to take to see what might be causing this (would anyone suspect a drive failure?) [23:57] !ping [23:57] pong! [23:57] ShackJack: avg anti virus? [23:57] erUSUL: Ahhh, true. Didn't think about RAID configs... [23:57] sebsebseb: No, I don't run it... [23:58] sebsebseb: strange won't boot from usb :o [23:58] WaterRatj: maybe someone else can help with this, or your USB no longer works === mac9416 is now known as macOut [23:58] barqs, on the bottom left side of the unetbootin window there is a choice of usb or hard drive, did you try the hard drive option [23:58] ShackJack: I'd run htop and sort by process state. === muellisoft is now known as Muelli [23:58] e1nh4nd3r: you do not need to do raid the kernel internally does stripping is transparent for the user... just define two swap partitions with same prio and done. no mdadm involved [23:58] sebsebseb: could be :p [23:58] fyi: 34360 base-1000 magebytes == 32 binary (base 2^10) megabytes [23:59] BlackViper2: I was afraid to try that, as I wasn't sure if it would completely erase windows partitions and create only an Ubuntu partition. Do you know if this method works? [23:59] barqs, i tried it many times when i was distro hopping [23:59] Muelli: Good suggestion - I am running top but don't see anything causing large CPU usage... but load is high...
