Does the server run on a different computer? [00:00] goddard_: then port 80 is not forwarded [00:00] I do have a software firewall fccf [00:00] Divorced, or is there a way to activate the card screen or run effects [00:00] and other security features [00:00] denyhost [00:01] hosts.allow is setup not sure if its accurat [00:01] You can port forward but not give external access.

[00:03] You don't have external access to the site throug the router or firewall [00:03] I used version 9.04 Labantu new and I want to know your card or the way defined [00:03] I cant get my dualshock 3 to work on ubuntu, I also cant get wine to recognise anything inside the program files folder [00:03] what do I do about it? [00:03] <_MrsApple_> anybody on here use amarok? i need to know how to take music that ive dl and put it onto that [00:04] Gyndawyr: more help in #winehq [00:04] umm im not sure i understand you [00:04] saahr: you need to explain your problem better i do not think we understand what your asking [00:04] I can only use the lan ip [00:04] not the isp ip [00:04] to access it [00:04] anyone please help [00:04] goddard_: what kind of router do you have? [00:04] could someone tell me if init 1 would be reset to init 3 with a reboot? :) [00:04] my laptop keeps freezing but only with ubuntu. [00:05] panels-on-mythfrontend solved, needed to enable legacy_fullscreen from compiz setup "Workarounds" section [00:05] i have 8.04 LTS [00:05] _MrsApple_: click on settings > configure amarok > collection, then find where your music is and check it [00:05] there are two setting that you normally have to set port forward and external access. That opens the port to the internet [00:05] WRT54G [00:05] Linksys [00:05] id recommend you get windows, as my ubuntu install has done nothing good [00:06] Gyndawyr, who is that to? [00:06] goddard can you ping 4.2.2.2 ? [00:06] so it appears that flash is using /dev/snd/pcmC0D0 I need it to use /dev/snd/pcmC0D3 [00:06] any thoughts? [00:06] goddard_: you want to put your server's internal ipaddress into the DMZ ... this will put the ubuntu server on the outside ip [00:06] !pm | saahr [00:06] saahr: 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. [00:06] hola [00:06] hellow [00:07] i have no faith in this OS anymore [00:07] techtronic, it's in the nautilus preference dialogue, under media - "browse media when inserted" [00:07] i heard using a dmz is disabling a part of your security [00:07] man i love ubuntu, i know how to do things on it [00:07] abandon hope all ye who enter here [00:07] i have tons of faith in ubuntu [00:07] what if i use the DMZ feature and it still doesn't work [00:07] Gyndawyr, stop trolling man. if you dont like it dont use it. [00:07] how do I get my dualshock 3 to work on ubuntu? how do I test it? [00:08] some of us are trying to get our problems sorted here [00:08] google, bro [00:08] on0bi, I went to the thread you specified, and I am trying to follow the instructions. But libao.conf is a readonly file and I can't edit it? [00:08] unop: and my media disks aren't opened in karamic despite this setting beein set [00:08] some of us are tired of our problems here -_- [00:08] join #python [00:08] Gyndawyr, then by all means go back to windows. [00:08] goddard_: yes, but only for the ubuntu machine, and if you have ubuntu setup properly it will be secure ... DMZ'ing will work [00:08] Darkebrz: did you sudo gedit? [00:08] !gksudo | on0bi Darkebrz [00:08] then what is the point in the ubuntu IRC support? [00:08] would filtering multicast traffic or NAT redirection affect the DNS service? [00:08] on0bi Darkebrz: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [00:08] please any help is appreciated, my laptop keeps freezing. I have no idea why its doing this. [00:08] MaximLevitsky, hmm, well .. did you upgrade from a previous release? [00:08] Okay that worked [00:09] Oh [00:09] !attitude | Gyndawyr [00:09] Gyndawyr: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [00:09] Dont use sudo >_> [00:09] unop: yes [00:09] ya, gksudo works [00:09] i found our why my samba didnt work, i had setup all correct in terminal mode, but the graphic mode settings was blocked out so i had to setup under gui shares also [00:09] i use sudo anyway [00:09] maybe its special for xubuntu ? [00:09] MaximLevitsky, this setting wasn't there in previous versions of nautilus - not sure exactly which version introduced it. [00:09] please any help is appreciated, my laptop keeps freezing. I have no idea why its doing this. its not a hardware issue as my dual booted windows doesnt freeze or behave erratically. [00:09] i dont wish to view any IRC guidelines, I wish to use my control pad on a game through Wine [00:10] unop: this settings is there, but it doesn't work.... [00:10] fccf would filtering multicast traffic or NAT redirection affect the DNS service? [00:10] i am trying to decide on what ubuntu I should try, do any not come with a X system [00:10] Gyndawyr: heh, good luck [00:10] Ive visited the winehq channel, it is silent in there. I have asked several rooms also [00:10] Gyndawyr: use windows for game [00:10] id like to know how to use wine for something other than notepad or internet explorer [00:10] could someone tell me if init 1 is set back to init 3 on reboot? [00:10] djshotglass: server doesnt have X [00:11] Jorsher: er, what? [00:11] once ive fixed that, then Ill worry about compatibility [00:11] Gyndawyr: get a grip and dual boot windows if you play games [00:11] Gyndawyr: what are you trying to do? [00:11] i was ssh into my remote box, and set init 1 following a disk quota tutorial, and now i can't connect to it [00:11] goddard_: yes, but I don't think that is the issue here, ubuntu by default is very secure, putting the server into DMZ shouldn't be a problem, especially if you are using a dynamic ip sitiuation [00:11] MaximLevitsky, i don't think you got my point - i'm not stating it well enough. It's quite plausible that something else is inhibiting this feature for you - perhaps some cruft from the previous release of gnome. [00:11] on0bi: im trying to use wine to access windows applications [00:12] once i know how to do that, I will move on to the control pad drivers [00:12] unop: interesting..... [00:12] #/j #xubuntu [00:12] meh [00:12] maco - i was ssh into my remote box, and set init 1 following a disk quota tutorial, and now i can't connect to it [00:12] maco - i'm curious if restarting will set init back to 3 so i can connect again [00:12] Jorsher: not alternate way to connect to it ? how remote is it ? [00:12] Gyndawyr: in terminal, type winecfg to pull up the config window [00:12] on another continent remote [00:12] maco, interesting thanks [00:13] Gyndawyr: there you can add windows programs and set what version of windows to run on each program and also graphical and accessibility tweaks [00:13] uhh.. ok === Entelin is now known as Guest17417 [00:13] Gyndawyr: consider running windows inside a virtualbox, & please be patient and don't expect to have your hand held through all your problems [00:13] dasei - physically impossible to get to, if there's any remote command i can shove down it's throat that would be awesome [00:13] typical irc, someone comes moans and everyone helps him. [00:13] someone being patient gets ignored. [00:14] Waseem: are you still freezing? [00:14] yes Gouda [00:14] uygh [00:14] Ugh [00:14] Jorsher: init 1 is a bad one then, and no reboot sheduled [00:14] waseem: it happens. :/ And sometimes people just don't know how to help the patient ones. [00:14] im on terminal. i have no idea what to do from here. [00:14] does anybody know how to watch apple trailers? [00:14] Chousuke, i hear ya man, i hear ya :) [00:14] waseem: i dont know what to do about your problem [00:15] waseem: whereas whiners often have some simple problem arising from their own impatience :) [00:15] dasei - so it will require someone to physically go to it? [00:15] Waseem: You are on a laptop right? [00:15] that is apple trailers stopped working [00:15] yes Gouda [00:15] so how do i watch themV [00:15] :/ [00:15] Z [00:15] Z [00:15] ? [00:15] knasto: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:15] Waseem: I haven't dived into that adventure yet with ubuntu. I heard it can be a nightmare [00:15] knasto: thank the good people at apple for that [00:16] Gouda, it can be, but i had managed to set up (thats the hard part) [00:16] hi [00:16] once you have it right its very good. [00:16] ctmjr: yea what the hell happend. i had no problems until like a month ago. [00:16] thanks rigs and fccf [00:16] is anyone able to tell me where irssi log files go by defaultß [00:16] My bootable USB install stick wont boot from my other box. I've changed the BIOS settings to boot from USB first, and tried all 3 USB ports. What else can I do? [00:16] I'm not sure if there are any crash files ubuntu creates but it would be nice if there was [00:16] Jorsher: yes it should boot to 3 again [00:16] on0bi, I got this a little bit into the thread [00:16] Package libflashsupport is not available, but is referred to by another package. [00:16] This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or [00:16] is only available from another sour [00:16] Darkebrz: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:17] Sorry >_> [00:17] maco - thaks a lot :) good luck, this place seems like it could get hostile [00:17] lol [00:17] Jorsher: as long as you didnt set 1 as default in your grub config [00:17] nosir i didnt :) [00:17] i was in ssh and figured init 1 would let me stay logged in [00:17] but, i guess you learn from mistakes :) [00:17] please any help is appreciated, my laptop keeps freezing. I have no idea why its doing this. its not a hardware issue as my dual booted windows doesn't freeze or behave erratically. [00:17] Darkebrz: hmmm..not sure you might not need it [00:17] Well... [00:17] -_- [00:18] Someone, so how to I get apple trailers to work again without resulting to dirty methods like wget??? [00:18] Jorsher: think so, if you havent configured any earlier service (ssh, webmin,vnc, whatever) .. [00:18] goddard_: you are online, and the king [00:18] Darkebrz: sorry mate, that how to is kind of old, i just downloaded pulse audio from the add/remove program and it works. i use that thread for the setup normally. things like check this, check that [00:19] Waseem: Wish I could help you more dude but my ubuntu knowledge is very limited. I just installed it about 2 weeks ago. been a 9 year layoff from using a linux machine :) [00:19] haha [00:19] does anyone know why x.org would set the resolution to 800x600 upon startup everytime even though I save the settings as 1440x900 in x,org from the nvidia settings? [00:19] no probs Gouda at least you tried :) [00:19] * i do this a root... [00:20] kinggoddard.com [00:20] HELP, so how do I get apple trailers to work again? [00:20] wcGary83: did you save the changes or just clicked apply> [00:20] goddard_: yep [00:20] ciao [00:20] Darkebrz: just open the add/remove, make sure that the filter is set to allow third party packages, then search in the audio catagory for the pulseaudio stuff, install them all. then use that thread to check boxes and what not. don't worry too much about editing files and adding data [00:20] I saved the changes, and tried both merging and not... [00:20] dumb question: is it possible to find out what gfx card is install via cli command? [00:20] hey fccf how did you find that out [00:21] Darkebrz: then you'll be set [00:21] That's strange. Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers? [00:21] goddard_: got your info from your username [00:21] how to setup rar [00:21] !details | dan [00:21] dan: 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] Darkebrz: you've just got to remember to move the audio stream to your card or whatever your speakers are connected to in the playback tab under volume manager [00:21] Gouda: yes, I am thinking about installing the latest from the nvidia site, but it would break upon upgrade and the computer is for a new user... [00:22] Darkebrz: then you'll be golden. mine is exactly like that [00:22] im not the best with irc how? [00:22] zer0her0: lspci ? [00:22] Gouda: I tried with both the 173 and 180 driver [00:22] goddard_: what IRC client are you using? [00:22] wcGary83: What it almost sounds like is that it's conflicting with another driver possibly and getting overwritten maybe. Not too sure [00:23] DasEi - I was logged in as admin and did sudo init 1, kicked me off the remote connection and now i can't connect through ssh, ftp, nxmachine, etc under root or admin [00:23] irssi [00:23] command line [00:23] on0bi, that is only assuming that mine will work just like yours [00:23] Gouda: so I should save a copy and reboot, then compare... [00:23] credo: perfect thanks :) [00:23] I am getting an exit 1 ( /usr/bin/ld cannot find -lz ) compiling diablo 5.1 news, any ideas what causes this ? collect 2 ld returned 1 exit, missing ld ? [00:24] how do i mount my floppy disk drive in ubuntu? [00:24] mount /floppy ? [00:24] Darkebrz: ya, it is. but i'm sure it will. pulseaudio isn't a tempermental app [00:24] yes\ [00:24] had a random freeze again. === CamonZ_ is now known as camonz [00:24] off-topic: can anyone recommend what kind of video camera to get? i want standardized removable storage media (SD card probably) and good support under Linux for streaming [00:24] cant understand wth makes it freeze. [00:24] Jorsher: yes, I got you, as said above you're in trouble then, need physical access, if no reboot sheduled or earlier service in 1 configured [00:25] One quick question, where does Ubuntu save screenshots? [00:25] works for a while then BAM completely random. [00:25] Darkebrz: it asks you [00:25] Anyone one know how to get the totem plugin to play apple trailers? Apple must have change their website or something. [00:25] goddard_: look at man irssi ... I am in a GUI of pidgin .. and by right clicking on a name in the userlist and clicking info I get information about any user ... although there are ways to hide yourself, which I am working on for myself too [00:25] how do i mount my floppy drive? [00:25] >.> [00:25] Oops I didn't notice [00:25] knasto: they are blocking all non-quicktime user agents [00:25] peb_live: sudo modprobe floppy; sudo mkdir /media/floppy0; sudo mount /dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 -t vfat rw,user [00:25] x404x: sudo mount /dev/fd0 /mountpoint [00:26] maco, so what is the workaround beside wget? I mean there must be something right? [00:26] fccf i am supposed to be cloaked thats why i asked [00:26] knasto: you can use wget to download the vids with a fake user agent, like wget -U "QuickTime/screwApple.0" http://apple.com/blah.avi [00:26] Hello my laptop freeze's at randomly after a while. This problem only happens with my ubuntu OS (vista doesnt show any signs of a problem). I really need some help please. [00:26] knasto: thats about it so far. a patch has been proposed so that gstreamer would report as quicktime all the time forevermore... [00:26] maco, is their anyway you could set firefox to do that automatically after you click on a link to a trailer? [00:27] waseem: check /var/log/syslog and kernlog for errors [00:27] goddard_: your cloakable username is goddard not goddard_ you have to /nickserv identify password for user goddard [00:27] knasto: no, its not the firefox user agent, but the plugin's user agent :-/ [00:27] <_MrsApple_> does it mean that a dl didnt work if the time for the song only shows like 30 sec or the same amount of time for each song? [00:27] can i mount stuff anywhere ? [00:27] maco, i mean like once you click on the trailer, the terminal automatically pops open and downloads with wget and opens it with totem? [00:28] waseem: if your graphics trouble you, check /var/log/Xorg.0.log [00:28] HI im trying to install Aleph One from source and im getting this = http://pastebin.com/m702161ee when i try to install it. does anyone know what i could do to fix it?

I've changed the BIOS settings to boot from USB first, and tried all 3 USB ports. What else can I do?

[00:29] illovae tu es par là ? [00:30] how do i make a mountpoint ?

[00:30] knasto: dunno [00:30] My bootable USB install stick wont boot from my other box. I've changed the BIOS settings to boot from USB first, and tried all 3 USB ports. What else can I do?

[01:00] mordof, have you tried using ALSA?... [01:00] !sound | mordof [01:00] mordof: 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 [01:00] maco, well i found a greasemonkey script. it works great.

[01:03] I think it has something to do with my network interfaces, or the iptables... [01:03] i still don't get why it's saying my audio is Intel ICH [01:03] that's not right.. [01:03] I have a 9.04 server hosting a bunch of virtual servers, they all have internet and local access... [01:03] the physical server only has local resource access.... [01:04] the router says there are no packets hitting it from this box... [01:05] quentusrex does tcpdump on the server itself agree with what your router says? [01:06] ?

[01:07] i have problem with virtualbox [01:08] hi, i have a folder with some mp3s and i want to play them - how? [01:08] get a music player [01:08] Kalmi: could the problem be with Intel ICH being used for my Realtek AC97 onboard audio? [01:08] if i double click on the mp3, strange player opens and i cant hear anything [01:08] pw-toxic: use Rhythmbox [01:08] did you just install? [01:08] pw-toxic i do it this way. sudo apt-get install audacious then go into the folder and run audacios from there [01:09] pw-toxic: Restricted Formats - ubuntu wiki [01:09] when i do open it with rhythmbox, i cant hear anything too, but i can choose the music in ryhtmbox ordered by artist [01:09] oh ya thats [01:09] it [01:09] heya sammyF [01:09] !mp3 | pw-toxic [01:09] pw-toxic: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [01:09] heya ikey ... nicely lurking? ;) [01:09] could also look at alsa [01:09] the mp3s i want to play arent from a specifc artist [01:09] that thing is always screwy [01:09] xikteny, i can listen to mp3d by rhythmbox, but i have to look for them by artist [01:10] zlib1g is installed, so why do i still get "cannot find -lz" ? [01:10] anyone can help me with the internet page sound like www.fulltono [01:10] willca: how do I get tcpdump to not show traffic to a particular host? [01:10] pw-toxic: oh, sorry, I thought you might be missing codecs, but if others play i guess it's just an organizational thing within rhythmbox [01:11] I would like to enjoy this music, but i can't hear it [01:11] i can open the mp3 file with vlcplayer too and i can hear the music, but i cant open a complete folder so that all the tracks are played after each other [01:11] pw-toxic: vlcplayer has many codecs built into it [01:11] and I installed adobe flash but nothing [01:11] hello, can anyone help me troubleshoot sshd? [01:11] someone can help me? [01:11] pw-toxic audacious takes all the music in wherever folder you are if you run it from there [01:11] mordof, ah ok and amarok doesnt have? [01:12] pw-toxic: no idea. i just know that vlc comes with it's own codecs last i checked [01:13] hi my ubuntu OS keeps freezing it is 8.04 LTS and it freezes randomly. I dont think it is a hardware issue as my dual booted Vista doesnt show any signs of a problem. [01:13] if i click on the "click here to isntall the ubuntu-restircted-extras packge" he tells me that they are already installed [01:13] ill probably freeze and not respond randomly if a freeze happens. [01:14] waseem maybe there is a bad block in your partition/drive [01:14] willca, how can i fix this? [01:14] waseem try booting up your live cd and run badblocks against your partition...my experience [01:14] was like that [01:14] it was not the OS nor drivers but it was a darn bad block [01:14] so let me get this straight [01:14] what's a decent video player to try with? i found a bug about totem and poor audio playback? trying to figure out why some videos the audio is stuttering.. wanted to try another player, but don't know of any [01:14] willca: I have a pastebin for you [01:15] how would i access this badblock thing? [01:15] boot your live cd and then open a terminal [01:15] yes then? [01:15] anyone know anything about sshd? [01:16] Anybody running seperate x screens in here? [01:16] hi is 9.04 having problem with the vino? [01:16] i cant believe that it is so hard to play a folder of music with ubuntu ;) [01:16] 9.04 is evil. i miss good old 7.XX [01:16] how can i troubleshoot amarok? [01:16] I need help getting video to play on my second x screen [01:16] willca, in the terminal what would i write? [01:17] and will it require me to re-install ubuntu? [01:17] nobody huh? [01:17] waseem in a terminal as root, badblocks -n /dev/sda? [01:18] T0aster: not i - though i want to be able to set that up and have that possible.. haven't gotten there yet [01:18] thanks willca hopefully i will remember that. [01:18] Anyone know how I can access this chat via http? [01:18] pw-toxic: I just checked, and on my system rhythmbox places all untagged files under "Unknown" [01:18] i am not sure if its in the ubutn live cd but i use antix or mepis and they had it [01:18] hey how can I "sudo" a file browser window? I mean i want to delete some file from the GUI [01:18] matrixblue, http://www.mibbit.com/ [01:18] I have the screen working but every time I launch a program it appears on my first screen [01:18] waseem mepis or antix will have it on their livecd, it helped me repartition my intrepid before after that [01:18] ikey, I thought mibbit was blocked [01:19] oh good point. [01:19] sudo nautils [01:19] xikteny, the problem is not the tagging, it is that i want to queue all mp3s out of a certain folder - so treat them like a playlist [01:19] julemore: sudo nautilus? [01:19] nautils? [01:19] willca, well ill try the ubuntu live cd once i find it but this is something to try at least, thanks [01:19] ok [01:19] let me check [01:19] GNOME or KDE? [01:19] off to try it [01:20] yeah... freenode web doesn't work with certain channels either [01:20] yes thks [01:20] np === chrisi1512_ is now known as chrisi1512 [01:20] what is the best book about algorithm? [01:20] pw-toxic: hmm yeah most of the music apps work with tags, ignoring the files location... [01:21] heogen: There is no "best" book... [01:21] anyone know? [01:21] pw-toxic been trying to tell you, give audacious a try thats what i was trying to do before [01:21] wooo, audio isn't choppy in mplayer, it's just totem.. whew [01:21] and what do you say about it? [01:21] i can watch my clips again :D [01:21] xikteny, finally i got amarok running - suppporting what i need. This helped me; https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/amarok/+question/67045 [01:21] hello [01:22] willca, tried it - i dont like the player [01:23] heogen: google and read the feedback... [01:23] xikteny, anyway the cool thing with rhytmbox is, that there is a plugin for gnome-do. So i can easily start albums and artists i know ;) [01:23] but I think that can find a good book about algorithm [01:24] pw-toxic: I'm using amarok1.4 here, it's the only player i really like :) [01:24] I set up Ubuntu 9 server edition on a computer using LVM and then went to add a second drive. I didn't add the new drive correctly and not I can't boot up anymore. Is there a way to use the Live CD to mount the LVM partition? [01:24] heogen: What do you know about Algorithm? [01:25] xikteny, what do you like best on amarok? [01:25] heogen: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Algorithms [01:26] I know a very few thing, this is the reason that i asking about a good book if you know [01:26] thank you for the link [01:26] anyone know how to send remote windows commands from Linux (eg taskkill) [01:26] heogen: so you search a book that is going deep in the topic? [01:26] Does anyone know the command for GPG so it will just encrypt the text that I type? I've only been able to find commands to encrypt text files. I would like to type the text directly into the shell and have it encrypted. No encrypting files. [01:27] Sry, for my bad english^^ [01:27] then maybe run a pipe command? === monteith is now known as monteith_afk === monteith_afk is now known as monteith [01:27] yeah [01:29] heogen: Then i have no plan, sry. But there are a lots of good books. You just have to search and read the feedback... [01:29] pw-toxic: sent you a pm [01:29] hey I'm trying to bring a computer running ubuntu 7.10 up to date. When I try to update the repos it's saying they don't exist anymore. what's the easiest way to get this thing current? Do I need to reformat? [01:29] ok, thank you man [01:30] themoebius, backup the home directory and install the new version [01:30] themoebius: do apt-get dist-upgrade [01:31] but as matrixblue says, you should back up your home dir first [01:31] whenever i transfer files >100megs or so over network (nfs, netatalk, http) the transfer starts and then pauses after 50-150megs downloaded. Then the network on the ubuntu machine serving the files goes down and I can not connect to it. the network may come back up after like 10 min or so. The weird thing is when the download pauses, if i restart the ubuntu network, the download resumes but then pauses again after another 50-150megs dl [01:31] just restarted networking about 8 times to finish a 1gig file. any ideas? [01:32] hi, i just burned ununtu-server off and tried to install it on one of my machines, but once i boot from the cd it asks what language and I cant select anything [01:32] Ok with my hdtv set as second x screen the acreen is there and I can control the panel options but every application I select goes to screen 0 (my monitor) [01:32] keyboard lights are on duing bois boot, but turn off when the ubuntu-server cd starts booting [01:32] TheLetterM: apt-get dist-upgrade just tried to get the one package it knows is out of date - I don't think it knows to get the updated repos [01:32] i have tried every keyboard in my house and none work [01:32] djshotglass, check if the num lock light is responding on the keyboard [01:32] djshotglass: They all USB? [01:32] i have sound working fine on jaunty 9.04 but is lower than in windows.. the troubleshooting page on wiki.ubuntu.com seems to deal with situations when sound is completely not working [01:32] matrixblue, it doesnt, nothing does [01:33] KB1JWQ, yes i havent had a ps2 keyboard since the 90s [01:33] djshotglass: And how recent is the machine in question? [01:33] que dicen [01:33] djshotglass, are you certain the CD isn't corrupted? [01:33] i just installed kubuntu on a different machine, and it had a countdown at this meny [01:33] Anyone familiar with LVM? [01:33] so i assume this is a known problem [01:33] as they fixed it [01:33] mexicanos por hay [01:33] latinos [01:33] ?¿?¿ [01:34] the keyboards work fine before the cd boots, as i can go though the bois [01:34] once ubuntu-server boots, nothing works [01:34] and no countdown like kubuntu [01:34] so i guess i cant install it [01:34] great os [01:34] djshotglass: USB legacy support enabled in BIOS? [01:34] hah [01:34] KB1JWQ yes [01:34] thats why i was in bois [01:34] to make sure [01:34] djshotglass: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:34] how do iboot into console? [01:34] djshotglass: is the KB USB and is USB Legacy support enabled in the BIOS? [01:35] yes [01:35] djshotglass, the server version install is a bit different and I'm not suire if it has the countdown. I'd try another CD [01:35] i dont want another cd [01:35] i want ubuntu-server [01:35] the rest are garbage [01:36] matrixblue: it does have the countdown [01:36] djshotglass, I meant burn another copy [01:36] ubuntu-server does not [01:36] dd if=filename.iso of=/dev/dvd [01:36] so yeah [01:36] is that how we burn iso to dvd? [01:36] LVM2 [01:36] cd is fine as the program i burned it with verifys the cd [01:36] ubuntu x doesn't run at startup with my video card. how do i boot into console. I have mounted ubuntu from slackware partition and wish to edit it to boot from console. [01:36] can nayone help me with it [01:36] compares every byte with the iso after burning it [01:36] cd is 100% [01:37] biker_rat: if X fails to start, you can use the VC [01:37] CTRL+ALT+F2 - F6 [01:37] what VC? [01:37] the console [01:37] "virtual console" [01:38] X is borked. Frozen . no VC [01:38] * djshotglass throws ubuntu cd in garbage and grabs a arch cd [01:38] djshotglass, run md5 on the iso you downloaded [01:38] hold down CTRL+ALT and press F1 F2 F3... F6 and you jump through them all [01:38] ok so is it possible to download KDE for ubuntu but just the essential things for KDE and not the things i don't want like Kate, and KWord, and Kcalc, etc.. because if I don't like Kubuntu (or just want a different view from time to time) i'd want to be able to go back to gnome and have it as it was without all the extra stuff [01:38] the driver problem won't let that function [01:38] matrixblue, i dont need to md5 anything [01:38] as the program i burned it with compared every byte [01:38] the cd is fine [01:39] Does anyone know the command for GPG so it will just encrypt the text that I type? I've only been able to find commands to encrypt text files. I would like to type the text directly into the shell and have it encrypted. No encrypting files. [01:39] so [01:39] djshotglass: he's saying that the _image_ may not have been fine [01:39] djshotglass, I understood your earlier point. I was just suggesting that the ISO you downloaded may have been corrupt [01:39] im using ubuntu 9.04 gnome btw [01:39] Guest9553: don't specify a filename [01:39] Guest9553: it should let you type your emssage in [01:39] hi all [01:40] can i get some help getting drivers? [01:40] i'm running 8.04 LTS server [01:40] bobo I think maybe the alternate install CD may have customized installs [01:40] and i need the sis_ide driver / module, or it won't recognize any hard drives [01:41] i was using ettercap when i right clicked and disabled my wireless connection while ettercap was still sniffing. now i can;t can't use my wireless device even afetr rebooting countless enableing/disabling of wirelessconnection and network connection, I 've even tried /etc/init.d/networking retart and reload command which are no good [01:41] bobo: if you want something minimal with KDE, some people recommend installing server edition and then installing KDE from there [01:41] matrixblue and TheLetterM: I meant that I want to have both gnome and KDE on my comp. can i not just download KDE from the repos? [01:42] yes you can [01:42] as in i just want to be able to switch sessions [01:42] oh ok [01:42] apt-get install KDE [01:42] ok thanks [01:42] np [01:42] bobo lowercase kde though [01:42] ya [01:42] what can i do to get my wifi working again [01:42] lstarnes: Yeah, if I just type GPG in the command line it will let me type text but I guess what I can't figure out is what to do once I've typed all the text I want. How do I take the next step to encrypt? [01:42] bobo: you can try installing 'kdelibs' and see if that's enough to get you a kde X session. probably not. [01:43] well, ill just remove all the progs i don't want later [01:43] zenguy311: what do you get when you run sudo ifconfig down [01:43] Guest9553: ctrl+d [01:43] Guest9553: you need to end the message with a blank line followed by ctrl+d [01:43] bobo the kde package only installs the environment kubuntu-desktop installs all the extras [01:43] any help installing drivers please? [01:44] I am using lilo (slackware) any kernel option i can put in ubuntu kernel line to stop X. i wish to install xorg-edgers in the hope that this will fix X and i need to get into console. Fedora rawhide X is functioning with my video card with 3D 7 2D acceleration but the fedora installer for rawhide isn't currently working so I thought I would try ubuntu. It is late and i have to work in the morning. Can I get a reply? [01:44] ryanrhee90, which drivers? [01:44] zenguy311: *sudo ifconfig wlan0 down [01:44] so the environment is 450mb? matrixblue [01:44] sis_ide [01:44] matrixblue: sis_ide [01:44] i did sudo ifconfig wlan1 down and the command went without errors, even though i type ifconfig the wlan1 won;t show up. but when i type ifconfig wlan1 up there's an errir message [01:44] bob seems about right because there alot of libraries that are needed [01:45] ati x1900gt card. mostly not working except with the bleeding edge due to regressions [01:45] right now, when I boot into the correct kernel, I'm kicked into the initramfs shell [01:45] ryanrhee90, I'm not certain I know what that device is === john is now known as Guest8635 [01:45] it's an ide controller [01:45] matrixblue: no, kde will install a bunch of apps. [01:45] matrixblue: it's a built-in ide controller [01:46] zenguy311: ok try this sudo ifconfig wlan1 down / sudo dhclient -r wlan1 [01:46] ryanrhee90, stuff like that is normally built into the kernel. Which version are you running? [01:47] wehere is the conf for wirless i will delete ir [01:47] prince_jammys, bobo I stand corrected then [01:48] If there is no way to disable an X that is locking the system, you have a fundamentally flawed OS IMHO. [01:48] matrixblue: it doesn't look like it when you look at the dependencies, but they start branching out and end up installing tons of apps. [01:48] i'm on 2.6.24-24-22 [01:48] biker_rat: if it is enabled, ctrl+alt+backspace usually works [01:48] matrixblue: i'm on 2.6.24-24-22 [01:49] ryanrhee90, I'm sorry I meant Ubuntu version [01:49] X is frozen ctrl+alt+backspace doesn't work. [01:49] matrixblue: i'm on 8.04 LTS\ [01:49] hey, rockn rollll === mac9416 is now known as blueprintBug === blueprintBug is now known as mac9416 [01:50] biker_rat: in 9.04 and later it must be manually enabled by disabling dontzap [01:50] ryanrhee90, can you try a live CD of 8.10 or 9.04 to see if the controller will work on those? [01:50] 904 yeh it does [01:51] It's a dedicated server off-site, and I have an ip kvm access to it, but can't load cds [01:51] !dontzap | biker_rat [01:51] biker_rat: To re-enable the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace combination that restarts your X server, you can install the "dontzap" package and use the command « sudo dontzap --disable ». The combination Alt+SysRq+K can also be used to obtain a similar effect. [01:51] i never understood why they changed that [01:51] zenguy311: try man interfaces [01:51] matrixblue: It's a dedicated server off-site, and I have an ip kvm access to it, but can't load cds [01:51] lstarnes:thanks [01:52] ryanrhee90, I'm a bit confused and you'll have to forgive me but are you certain that the controller in question is functioning? [01:52] If ubuntu will only boot into X and then freezes that won't work. I need to enter an option or delete something from a working OS mounting the Ubuntu partition. [01:53] what i have noticed ubuntu has the best, greets to guys ! [01:53] biker_rat: can you reach the virtual terminals, with ctrl-alt-F1, for example? [01:53] biker_rat, boot into a recovery console and run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [01:54] c ya rock [01:54] No the console won't switch & i can't kill X. [01:54] hello guys, i'm searchig for a pre-release CD of obuntu 9.10. does it exist? [01:54] *ubuntu [01:54] matrixblue: I'm almost certain. When I boot the system using the standard 8.04 kernel, I'm kicked off into the initramfs shell because the system thinks there is no /dev/hda [01:55] hello [01:55] ryanrhee90, is a live usb out of the question also? [01:55] hi all. is there an obvious reason why I can not receive mail sent to my server, while the mail itself doesn't get bounced? [01:55] I am using slackware to access ubuntu , hence I am using lilo. I don't have the usual ubuntu grub options. [01:55] matrixblue: i have no physical access to the machine. I can only see the boot errors with an ip kvm === andorin is now known as Andorin [01:56] bye [01:56] MAbeeTT, http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/daily-live/20090908/karmic-desktop-i386.iso [01:57] how do i set a program as the default launch application for a filetype? [01:57] ryanrhee90, just so I understand. What do you boot from to gain access to the machine? [01:57] matrixblue: thanks! where should I found this link? [01:57] matrixblue: i think you may be right about the later version kernels supporting sis_ide though. The original setup was 8.04 LTS with a custom 8.10 kernel. I need to change it, however, because the custom kernel does not have loadable modules. [01:57] MAbeeTT, http://cdimages.ubuntu.com [01:57] how do I FORCE unmount a CD? I need to switch to Disc 2 for a game instalation, the unmount command appears to not exist in Ubuntu 9.04 [01:57] how can I remove a program that I've installed with a .deb ? [01:57] matrixblue: thanks [01:57] + [01:58] Zylstra555: umount? [01:58] Zylstra555, no eject button on the drive? [01:58] biker_rat: maybe you may then temporarily move /etc/init.d/?dm to a backup dir. [01:58] matrixblue: The same hard drive. Grub is on a separate partition and it works, but if I select the standard 8.04 kernel, the system can't find my hard drive and kicks me into an initramfs shell === andorin is now known as Andorin [01:58] matrixblue: It will not eject. [01:58] root@jessezylstra-laptop:/home/jessezylstra# unmount [01:58] This is driving me crazy [01:58] bash: unmount: command not found [01:58] OH! U Mount! [01:58] Dang it! [01:58] Zylstra555: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:58] my freakin server randomly crashs for no reason!! ARGHHH!!! [01:59] zylstra555 umount -f forces the unmount, fyi. [01:59] Zylstra555: don't force umount unless it is absolutely necessary [01:59] Zylstra555: umount without forcing usually works [01:59] any server admins here [02:00] lstarnes: It just won't unmount [02:00] that gdm thing might work. I will try it and get back to you . Thanks. [02:00] ryanrhee90, this is a tough one. the only way I can think of is physically updating to a newer kernel [02:00] ryanrhee90: umount -f /media/cdrom0 did nothing. [02:00] biker_rat: or even just put 'exit' right below #!/bin/sh in that file [02:00] matrixblue: is there any way to get a loadable module for sis_ide? [02:00] ryanrhee90, that's beyond my level of linux experience === Joseph is now known as poseidon [02:01] There, had to use command "eject" afterwards... [02:01] Zylstra555, add sudo before it [02:02] matrixblue: ah okay. thanks anyway. is there a way to enable modules on a specific kernel? Or to install a kernel for 8.10 on an 8.04 system? === dabukalam_ is now known as dabukalam [02:02] ryanrhee90, I wish I knew. Hopefully some linux guru in here knows === andorin is now known as Andorin [02:03] Okay, now I switched CD's... it will not load the second disk. [02:03] matrixblue: thanks for your help! [02:03] i am having problems with apt-file update , exit code 22 / 404 on diff/index just keeps downloading 2 files over and over, any ideas ? [02:04] Zylstra555, sudo mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom [02:04] dir: reading directory .: Input/output error when trying: cd /media/cdrom0 dir [02:04] Zylstra555: why are you giving two arguments to 'cd'? [02:05] oh, you mean that's a separate command. [02:05] prince_jammys: I phrased it wrong... yes, it was a seperate command [02:05] perhaps nothing is mounted there. === xikteny is now known as Guest70419 [02:06] mmm, then i guess you'd see no error. [02:06] yeah, you wouldn't get an error if that was the case. [02:07] Zylstra555, try mount -l and check if it's mounted [02:09] matrixblue: I'm not seeing it [02:09] Zlystra555 then manually mount it [02:09] matrixblue: I did [02:10] game still recognizing? [02:10] it shows up under Places> Computer> Sims2_1... however, the contents appears to be empty from the file navagator [02:10] game still not recognizing? Zylstra555 === root is now known as Guest13447 [02:10] matrixblue: No, the game is not recognizing it [02:11] Zylstra555, eject it the normal way and re-insert it [02:11] matrixblue: I can't. [02:12] matrixblue: it will not eject unless I force unmount it, and then use the eject command. [02:12] http://pastebin.ca/1559151 [02:12] Zylstra555, is this typical behavior on your machine? [02:13] matrixblue: I have never attempted to install this game on Linux on this computer, nor have I ever tried to install a multi-disc program on this computer in Linux. So, no, its not normal. [02:13] hey, i have a desktop i just took away the monitor from, and when i restarted its stuck in 640x480. im looking to get it set by default to 1280x800 without any type of monitor present. any help? [02:13] Zylstra555, from what's here it seems like you need to manually umount and mount again [02:14] matrixblue: I have tried that multiple times [02:14] pastebin the output of df [02:15] Hey, I need to go to a dry land gardening class... I'll be back around 7:30-8PM PST. [02:15] ok === Zylstra555 is now known as Zylstra_away [02:16] Does anyone know how to convert NTFS to ext4 in ubuntu?

[02:18] matrixblue: i get this message [02:19] syntex: I don''t think you can just do that in place. you'll have to copy the data to some other location, reformat the partition, copy it back. [02:19] hi, I'm using ubuntu 64 bits because of 4gb of ram... I see that ubuntu with server kernel allows 4gb of ram because of PAE... why isnt PAE enabled by default in ubuntu default kernel? [02:19] it says i must manually run dpkg--configure-a [02:19] xikteny: or use a live cd [02:20] wat does dat mean? [02:20] xikteny: How do I reformat the partition?

[02:21] http://www.plug.org/pipermail/plug/2009-August/034568.html. is this common ? i run apt-file update and it does not find the diff/index (404) then it downloads the whole file (15 mb) and then it starts over why ? [02:21] the ubuntu cd can format on the setup i believe [02:21] sombidy here is using kscope? [02:21] zruty: yup [02:21] It's actually an external hard drive. [02:21] it says command not found [02:22] switch10__: Ok, thanks [02:22] syntex: that's easy use gparted in ubuntu [02:22] syntex, be sure that's what you want to do. Not even older Linux can read ext4 [02:22] hi, why isnt PAE enabled in ubuntu default kernel? [02:22] matrixblue: Thank you. :) [02:22] Under administration or something I think. It might be called partition manager now [02:23] in kscope, how can set a shortcut key for enlarging the fonts in editor. [02:23] anu sudoers experts in the house? [02:23] any^ [02:23] tnuic: PAE carries a pretty huge performance hit -- it's basically ONLY for specialized server applications on 32 bit systems. like huge databases [02:23] rumy you sure you typed everything correctly in lowercase? [02:23] tnuic: but these days you just buy a 64 bit system and toss all the RAM in it you need. PAE is basically obsolete technology now [02:24] can anyone tell me what cat / does, not run as root [02:24] cat: /: Is a directory [02:24] oh prob fixd thanx matrixblue [02:24] cat is short for concatenate but people use it to display text files in terminal [02:24] cat is short for concatenate but people use it to display text files in terminal dab_ [02:24] i need to be able to, Ubuntu server 9, create a user that who's ONLY abilities on a system is to login, and execute only a few conmands -- i want them to be able to do "sudo reboot" or "sudo shutdown -h now" [02:25] kahen: thx for the answer, I'm asking because I'm running ubuntu 64 bits and I'm having trouble with some software... like google gears, adobe air, adobe flash and GWT... [02:25] so i have not done any damage by running it then matrixblue ? [02:25] no messages appeared in terminal, and i stopped it pretty soon [02:25] kahen: I'm only using the 64 bits version because of 4gb of ram [02:25] dab_ it shouldn't do anything at all === chrisi1512_ is now known as chrisi1512 [02:26] somebady here is using kscope [02:26] great, thanks matrixblue i just wanted to make sure i hadnt fucked my system [02:26] lol [02:26] all that happened was a newline with a blinking square [02:26] and then i stopped it [02:26] dab_: language, language :) [02:26] heh sorry :D [02:26] dab_: you can't cause any damage with cat alone. at worst you can get a garbled mess in your terminal. [02:26] Would I need to unmount my external drive before I could use GPart to format it? [02:26] phew [02:26] worry over :) [02:26] Because currently, It's not letting me do anything to it.

[02:27] syntex: it is indeed not possible to format mounted partitions [02:27] syntex: yeah, it can't be in use as you change such things [02:27] etyrnal: beats me. [02:27] ok matrixblue ty! <3 [02:27] kahen: Thanks. :) [02:27] etyrnal: hopefully not. [02:28] prince_jammys, heh - right. [02:29] Is it, at all possible, to partition an external drive like a normal drive? === xikteny is now known as xikteny_away [02:29] syntex: Yes. === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [02:29] That would be done via GPart also? [02:29] syntex: There are no limit. You could partition Google servers if you want to. :) [02:30] Thank you. I'm use to the limitations of Windows. :P [02:30] syntex: I'm not sure about Gpart. Run "sudo fdisk -l" to get a list of connected devices and figure out which dev you want to partition (eg, /dev/sdb) and such. === maximo_ is now known as Nasra [02:31] syntex: If you're running Ubuntu (Gnome), you're better off using gparted as it have GUI.

[02:32] what is the command to add the universe repositories to the list? [02:33] syntex: Okay. There are gpart and gparted in the repo.

[02:42] yeah but where is it in the other part?? [02:42] rww, matrixblue [02:42] Hello [02:42] where is it in the other part? [02:42] However, alas, the xorg-edgers packages don't support my video card either. Rawhide is the only one giving me better than radeonhd + framebuffer, but almost everything else on rawhide seems broken. I guess I will have to wait a couple of months. [02:42] mado: it's not. In /etc/fstab, you can specify a partition using /dev/sdXY notation or in UUID= notation. It's specified using /dev/sda6 (line 23) [02:43] rww, i know it's not in /etc/fstab ... ok ... here's the problem ... [02:43] is it ok to post a link in here to a thread about a problem I've been having? [02:43] puppe: yes [02:43] mado: /dev/disk/by-uuid/ ? [02:43] anybody using ebox? [02:43] Thanks for the help with my experiment. [02:43] rww, matrixblue ... /dev/sda6 was a FAT32-partition ... i re-formated it to NTFS because i need it as NTFS ... [02:44] can someone pls help me install [02:44] skype? [02:44] now i thought that changing the UUID and write "ntfs" instead of "vfat" may help [02:44] rumy: did you follow the link ubottu gave you? [02:44] mado: then you'd need to change the "vfat" part of /etc/fstab (again, line 23) to nfts-3g (for read-write) or ntfs. [02:44] but i don't know how to go about it [02:44] !skype | rumy [02:44] rumy: To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto - Please use open protocols instead if you can, see !Ekiga [02:45] and how do i go about this UUID-thing rww ? [02:45] mado ntfs-3g should do it. [02:45] mado: you don't have to use UUID. Just changing the word "vfat" to "ntfs-3g" should do it just fine. [02:45] mado: I have to leave momentarily; here are the detailed instructions for the whole process, in case it helps: [02:45] !ntfs [02:45] To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [02:46] ok rww matrixblue ... i changed it now ... [02:46] do i have to reboot to know if it worked? [02:46] mado yeah [02:46] leaf-sheep: Is it natural for GParted to take a long time to format a drive to ext4? It'ws only 150GB.

[02:49] matrixblue: if i tail /etc/fstab, i see proc "dev/hda1" with the mount point "/boot". [02:49] ryanrhee90, can you get the UUID by booting into the other kernel?

[02:50] ryanrhee90, or somewhere in the boot folder of grub [02:51] matrixblue: i'm looking at the file right now. where would i place the uuid? i see , , , , , and [02:51] obake-san, have you editted your xorg.conf? [02:51] no [02:51] matrixblue: is there a way to tell grub to mount a partition using its UUID? if there is, i'm not familiar with it. [02:51] are you trying to set it up headless or what? [02:52] ryanrhee90, replace /dev/hda with the UUID [02:52] headless being without a monitor [02:52] yea [02:52] matrixblue: okay. and if i boot into the other kernel, how can I find the UUID of /dev/hda1 ? [02:52] using vnc and ssh to control [02:52] run blkid [02:53] matrixblue: alright, i'll give that a shot and come back :) [02:53] can someone help me installing Gyatchi this is my problem http://paste.ubuntu.com/267671/ [02:53] ryanrhee90, wait a sec [02:53] what is the command to 'press play' in rhythmbox from the terminal? [02:53] matrixblue: i'm here [02:53] ok, you can set that in your xorg.conf [02:54] ryanrhee90, now I'm thinking it's the /boot/grub/menu.lst that you need to edit [02:54] basically you want ubuntu to react to the lack of a monitor [02:54] so, you need to hardcode the settings you want [02:54] matrixblue: okay. I have the UUID and label for /dev/hda1 now, using the other kernel, from blkid. [02:54] ok, where do i do that [02:54] elleicht hilft es jemandem wenn du das ein wenig genauer beschreibst? === Guest8635 is now known as nonostone === nonostone is now known as monostone [02:55] ryanrhee90, change it in fstab and see if it fixes the problem [02:55] hey if i install the newest version of transmission from the ppa will it replace the installed version or do i have to uninstall it?

So i tried to fix that which lead to complete disaster as when ubuntu would reach login screen it was garbage and frozen. So I reinstalled 8.04 LTS over the partition and now it freezes randomly where I have to hold the power button to turn it off. [03:15] or do empty lines not matter [03:15] dabukalam, ^ [03:15] IdleOne: Okay. Thank you. I was worried that it's just frozen.

Beside that, I can only get 60Mb/s speeds top on the wireless network, while it should be 130Mb//s.

[03:45] Right, so now I'm stuck and my pendrive is apparently useless to me. That's £50 down the drain then. [03:45] at least you didn't ruin your pc [03:45] DasEi, that doesn't really say something about "managing books" [03:45] done that to a hard drive more than once [03:46] RHorse iwlist will work via live cd? and give me signal strength levels? [03:46] mado : was meant to your earleir quest on general soft [03:46] I'm tempted to say "Yes I did, I installed Linux on it", but I'm just angry because this is a very simple function that seems to be impossible. [03:46] No one ever helps me wheN I come here. [03:46] DasEi, ... yeah ... just wanted to say ... it helps me with some general things :) [03:46] I want to copy a file. How is that hard? [03:46] You can't get really good at linux without breaking it a few times along the way [03:46] DasEi: just booted back up, it says it cant find package vlc-data...vlc-nox is installed but cvlc doesnt work still [03:46] i stumbled across "gcstar" in "add/remove" [03:47] DasEi, [03:47] linuxnewb ty [03:47] rredd4 np [03:47] zopiac: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a [03:47] rredd4 iwlist will work in a terminal: just type iwlist scanning where is the device such as ath0, wlan0, or what have you. You can obtain your devices by typing iwconfig and ifconfig [03:47] Can I just reformat the entire pendrive? There's nothing important on it, and I just want to copy this file so I can go downstairs and do something else with today. [03:47] zopiac: which version do you use ? jaunty ? [03:47] fccf: a few? but then again am not good at it yet [03:47] anyone know why the windows clock gets reset when i boot into ubuntu [03:47] DasEi: i do believe so [03:47] RHorse ty [03:48] I've already wasted half an hour on trying to copy a file, I have other things to do with my life.

Beside that, I can only get 60Mb/s speeds top on the wireless network, while it should be 130Mb//s. One solution might be to use 802.11g network instead of N, but does anyone know [03:49] how to do that? [03:49] People stopped before I started whining. Also the file is a PNG image, and I'm trying to copy it to a USB pendrive like I already mentioned in my incessant whining. [03:50] what the 4gb seg fixup error anyone know ? [03:50] Lillymon: sorry i wasnt paying much attention before [03:50] sorry " 4gb seg fixup " [03:50] It's an ext2 pendrive, almost empty, mounted at /media/disk [03:50] zopiac : edit /etc/apt/sources.list or softwaresources under sysrem tab [03:50] !repos [03:50] The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections.

[03:50] Lillymon: You can just format it, there's a few ways to do it, this thread discusses a few of them: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=468212 [03:51] zopiac: I don't know, there doesn't seem be any physical way of write-protecting it, I forget if there's a soft way. [03:51] DasEi: the other command is still going [03:51] lol, i think i broke ubuntu on my desktop by upgrading the kernel [03:51] awesome [03:51] Lillymon: My point was that your attitude will reflect the type of help you get. your issue is that you don't have read/write permission on the pen drive [03:51] Lillymon: sudo cp /path/to/file.PNG /media/disk/file.PNG [03:51] llua: sda = hd0 1= 0 [03:51] fccf: Tried that already, "Stale NFS file handle", no file copied.

When I format my computer again, and install linux, i'll try installing it again. [03:56] :) have fun [03:56] zopiac: Right, looked at the website, did not understand any of it or why NFS is involved in anyway at any point in this, and it still doesn't work. [03:56] hi, in ubuntu we have an encarta like windows? [03:57] IdleOne: Already done that, three time, same error, every time. Every damn time. [03:57] that I can to download? [03:57] lol ok, Lillymon, sorry i havent been able to help either [03:57] Lillymon: please calm down. it's frustrating I know but you getting upset wont help [03:57] for to study general culture?

[03:58] Lillymon: well try unmounting the drive and mounting it with mount -t nfs nfsserver:/path/to/share /mnt/local, but tweaked a bit. [03:58] IdleOne: Well what am I supposed to do? Mounting a USB pendrive is far from an esoteric task, yet it seem Kubuntu is determined to make it as needlessly complicated as possible. [03:58] I want to add them to my ubuntu version for my android phone === Mean_Admin_ is now known as Mean_Admin [03:58] Lillymon: or if you dont know how to tweak it, ask someone else to help you with that part [03:59] hi [03:59] hello where I can find a program like Encarta in ubuntu? [03:59] i have a question how do you setup a server? [03:59] jumpingjack: #ubuntu-devel [03:59] sometimes my ubuntu 9.04 gets frozen [03:59] vinpan: what kind of server? [03:59] webserver [03:59] zopiac: Define 'a bit'. Do I leave the 'path/to/share' as it is? Bear in mind I've never encountered NFS before today, and have no intent of ever seeing its ugly face ever again. [03:59] vinpan: there are a number of webservers available [03:59] i know somthing with apache [03:59] fccf: thanks [03:59] !webserver [04:00] Sorry, I don't know anything about webserver [04:00] !apache [04:00] LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [04:00] Lillymon: well neither have i :/ but /path/to/share tells you to change it to whatever path the share is, but i dont know what that would be :P but this moght be a step in the right direction. [04:00] whats the easyest one? [04:00] i need some help when i try to compile from source i always get this http://pastebin.ca/1559259 please look and see if you know why im running into problems [04:00] Right now, I'm severely tempted to just destroy the pendrive and forget about this whole task. That way it can't waste another hour of my life. [04:00] Lillymon: then again, maybe not. but if you have the patience, its worth trying :) [04:01] Hi there... Does anyone have ever configured a 1600x900 monitor with an ATI chipset using Ubuntu? I've tried both free and amd drivers and my monitor keeps doing a weird flickering... [04:01] vinpan: if you just need a simple server to serve up html ... sudo apt-get install apache2 ... put your html in /var/www and you got a webserver [04:01] apt-get is currupted [04:01] I'm also tempted to see if Windows 7 puts me through this as well. [04:01] i need to know how to fix this [04:01] myztaken, check the refresh rate [04:01] does ubuntu have a migration assistant that can import all my stuff from my old windows box that's on the same network? [04:01] Lillymon, it probably won't [04:02] hi, why is rrd php not included in latest ubuntu? [04:02] Lillymon: but it may put you through other trouble, being windows and all. but it may not be as bad as this :P you never know [04:02] webbb8: you have some outdated libraries, you may want to consider backporting them [04:03] Also, that mount command is a fantastic catch-22. I can't mount '/media/disk', because '/media/disk' doesn't exist yet, because it won't exist until I've mounted it! [04:03] so set that up and i can upload my website to it right? [04:03] gandhi, Could you be more especific? The allowed and recommended refresh rate is 60hz, however while using archlinux I tried adding a Mode line to the xorg.conf without any success [04:03] clearscreen: how do i do that [04:03] !backports | webb8 [04:03] webb8: If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports.

According to dmesg output, it's trying to make a /dev node, then it dies (it's not added as /dev/sdb) [04:03] Lillymon: the directory has to exist before you can mount something into it === zopiac is now known as Zopiac_ [04:04] Lillymon: just like /media/cdrom === fuogor is now known as Zopiac [04:04] hi, guys, when i try to compile a driver, it prompted me to install "ncurses" or "ncurses-devel", but I found none of these except many other curses-related libraries, Which package should I install? === Zopiac_ is now known as fuogor [04:04] kahen / Lillymon: or if you just want to mount /some/folder, there should be an fstab entry.. but yes, the directory has to exist [04:04] /set logfile ~/irc_log [04:04] Lillymon: you have to mount from /dev/cdrom not /media/cdrom [04:04] fuogor, brb [04:04] whats the right way to update ubuntu server? [04:04] bargio: sudo hdparm -z rereads parti-table, important data on it ? [04:04] k [04:05] goddard: apt-get update && apt-get upgrade [04:05] goddard: sudo apt-get update ... sudo apt-get upgrade will update to the latest of everything, usually holding nothing back [04:05] goddard: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [04:05] ZOO0828: what are you talking about? apt-cache search lib.*ncurses [04:05] ZOO0828: try libncurses5 and libncurses5-dev [04:06] is it possible to assign several ip addresses to one nic? [04:06] fccf: That may have been useful to know 10 minutes ago. Now that I try mounting /dev/disk, I actually get something. Now it can't mount the drive, but doesn't know why. wrong fs, bad superblock, and so on are all possibilities. [04:06] goddard, I agree with DasEi [04:06] kahen, do I have to install all pkgs end up with curses? === Zopiac is now known as Zopiac|Zzz [04:06] clearscreen, ok, i will try, thanks [04:07] Does anyone know if minicom supports the line drawing character set? [04:07] DasEi, no, I [04:07] Lillymon: but it will be /dev/sda1or2or3...etc or /dev/sdb or c or d or e 1.2.or3 [04:07] ooh [04:07] hElP [04:07] i enabled the backports now what [04:07] DasEi, sorry. No, I'd just like to be able to read/re-mount it again .. [04:07] how do i exetrate the file .tgz [04:07] ZOO0828: what are you trying to compile? details please? [04:08] http://www.pastie.org/610557 [04:08] anyone ? [04:08] fccf, a driver for 3G modem adapter [04:08] webbb8: install the unmet dependencies from backports [04:08] bargio: don't get you , details ? [04:08] midwestward: apparently you can, if your kernel supports it, See the reference to aliases in the ifconfig man page [04:08] fccf: Yes, those are the options. I'm guessing mine would be sdd or sdd1, I'll try both. [04:08] Neither did anything. Same error, again. [04:08] ZOO0828: you probably don't need to ... I have gotten 3g modems to work without compiling [04:08] ZOO0828: what modem? [04:08] how do i exetrate the file .tgz [04:08] DasEi, I'm going to get on my desktop to paste output (I'll be back as Yasumoto) [04:09] hi, why is rrd php not included in latest ubuntu? [04:09] losher, thanks [04:09] fccf: Lillymon http://sysunconfig.net/unixtips/stale_nfs.txt try using the -O option [04:09] !tgz | yassine_ [04:09] yassine_: Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with file-roller (GNOME) or Ark (KDE) - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression [04:10] yassine_ :lazy people install unp [04:11] DasEi: nothing wrong with being lazy. I'm lazy myself... [04:11] DasEi: http://paste.ubuntu.com/267701/ is the dmesg output once I plug in my USB drive [04:11] fccf, I really wish mine can work without any compiling, but this one is a 3G modem according to China-only-3G-Standard product, don't think it has any built-in support, thanks [04:11] DasEi: but then /dev/sdg is never created [04:11] how to check when my system was installed ? [04:11] <_ged> what's the command for "search" for the terminal line? [04:12] locate? [04:12] ZOO0828: the standard it uses doesn't matter it still communicates with the computer via ttyUSB001 [04:12] _ged: find and locate [04:12] fccf, that's good news, how should i do then? [04:12] <_ged> DasEi: does it bypass any chmod, because the file that im looking for has been set to chmod 0600 [04:12] If I boot my computer up, with my ExpressCard (the replacement for cardbus) installed, ubuntu recognizes it. If I do not have it installed on bootup, I don't seem to be able to get it to load. The module is sky2, and it doesn't seem to depend on any other module [04:12] You know what, I've just stopped caring. I'm just going to consider mount a USB flash drive to be a might task beyond Linux, and forget about the whole damn thing. The convinenence of copying files from PC to PC is not worth this amount of sheer effort. [04:12] questions: i got glicthies on flash games ~ any fix for that ? i am on laptop with IGP i945 [04:13] I've now thrown the pendrive across the room, I don't know where it is now. Good night.

But that depends on what you end up doing. [05:07] Flannel: I think i tried that before but im too dumb for that.. im trying OO right now O.o [05:07] gnychis, you only need to worry about having equal or more swap if you want to hybernate otherwise its fine with 2gb [05:07] gnychis, usually ubuntu sets swap automatically [05:07] okay, thanks for the advice!

One on my motherboard has a minor bulge on the top [05:55] Flannel, I know that, I just thought there would be firewalls and stuff to manage a network by default, that's why I was asking [05:55] menza,but lspci just give driver and hard info,not ip info!!!!!! [05:56] That's not what he asked for, weidhhe. I think the language barrier is proving a problem here.

[06:11] losher: no. ch is Switzerland. .de is germany. [06:11] weidhhe: try #ubuntu-offtopic. We don't chat in this channel [06:12] agree with rww [06:12] I performed the command.. "cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec" and the result was: Codec: IDT 92HD75B3X5 and Codec: LSI ID 1040 ... Would I be searching for both of these codecs..? [06:12] rww: you are correct, thank-you [06:12] exit [06:12] FooZ: Dunno if you saw this: Got a spare pci slot? Might be easiest to just shove in a really cheap soundcard. That's what I did when I had problems with onboard audio... [06:13] do i need to mount the windows filesystem somehwere before i can acess files on C:\ from ubuntu? dual boot [06:13] i know i worded that badly [06:13] losher: I'm not sure... I'm on a notebook... [06:13] anybody play any steam games with wine ? [06:13] drygrain: did you install using wubi, or did you repartition? [06:13] rww: no. rw is rww. ls is leaf-sheep. [06:13] wubi :X === ericm-afk is now known as ericm_ [06:14] drygrain: it's automatically mounted in /host, I think [06:14] FooZ: oh right. Forget it then. Back to google... [06:14] oh cool [06:14] let me check [06:14] drygrain: if you repartitioned, it's a little more complicated :) [06:15] there is no /host [06:15] remem to back up at very beginning [06:15] hoho [06:15] wait duh [06:15] i looked on the wrong box [06:15] anybody play steam games with wine ? i get this pop-up that says my nVidia driver is out of date then i get a DX8 error when i try to run TF2 or CS [06:15] *blush* [06:15] haha just found out compiz will work on a eee pc [06:16] sd32, u must get a veryyyyyyyyy slowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww system [06:16] yeah, seems like it would run like shit without hardware acceleration [06:16] Xcerca: if nobody answers here, #winehq is probably a good bet for detailed WINE questions. [06:16] lol [06:16] weidhhe, naa just read it [06:16] what kind of chipset do those things have anyway? [06:17] is it just an intel chipset? [06:17] cause then you'd be using gma, which is terrible [06:17] should i update my nvidia driver? it's the highest version in the hardware drivers section, but i get a pop-up error when i start a wine game [06:17] weidhhe, read it on the eeebuntu page [06:17] hehe,good ya [06:17] xcerca, are you just using vanilla 9.04? [06:18] whats vanilla ? [06:18] i was trying to use wine [06:18] like you didn't add the xorg updates repo or xorg edgers? [06:18] rww, thanks very much [06:18] xcerca,love cs?not wine but dul boot sys [06:18] FooZ: searching by codec seems like the wrong approach. You want to search by chipset... [06:18] drygrain: no problem :) [06:18] gandhi , no i didn't [06:18] rww, my gf will now accept linux now that i can find my video files [06:18] and play them with VLC [06:18] :D [06:19] :D [06:19] well, adding the xorg-edgers ppa might help, let me install the 185 drivers [06:19] weidhhe, yea , i have that, but if it works good in wine i won't have to use windows [06:19] hello [06:19] use vlc as a stream server [06:19] gandhi , ok, so add the repo for x org ? [06:19] ? [06:19] losher: My chipset is intel, but according to this... http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/sound/alsa/ALSA-Configuration.txt ... the module isn't listed [06:19] yeah, just look up xorg edgers at launchpad.net [06:19] I just upgraded to jaunty....while upgrading there were two main errors that made me worried [06:20] i have quite a collection on my windows (soon to be ex-windows) box [06:20] the one i just wubi'd [06:20] gandhi , just edgers ? whats that vanilla you were talking about ? is that ubuntu with the default repos only ? [06:20] now that i know its as simple as /hosts/ [06:21] yeah, vanilla is default [06:21] FooZ: I think you need to get more specific to have a chance of finding sound drivers. You need to know the exact chipset model of your onboard sound card. Try sudo lspci -v or maybe lshw... [06:21] join #boycottnovell [06:21] RZC: please dont spam [06:21] i may jusst leave windows on there, but boot from ubuntu as default. Anyone know how to change the default OS setting at startup, when it gives the option? [06:22] novell is good ya [06:22] xlib: extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":0.0". 12 times [06:22] change menulist ... [06:22] defualt () [06:22] menulist? [06:22] 12 times as in a batch [06:22] menu.lst [06:22] is ubuntu running v2.6.28 of the linux kernel at the moment? [06:22] drygrain: he means /boot/grub/menu.lst [06:22] ohhh [06:22] occurred like 100 times [06:23] okay [06:23] yeah, 9.04 is 2.6.28 [06:23] i'm running 2.6.30 though [06:23] hmm, just noticed this: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/08/14/critical_linux_bug/ [06:23] going to go upgrade my kernel I think [06:23] english is ur first lang?but sounds not that native tho... [06:23] hehe [06:23] gandhi , is xorg-edgers a repo that i can add ? [06:24] yeah [06:24] you just add it to software sources and add the key [06:24] what do i change in menu.lst [06:24] a deb .... jaunty ? [06:24] they even have the kernel update to the karmic kernel to get some of the xorg updates to work better [06:24] its pretty neat [06:24] default ,,follow number... [06:25] i speak to dry [06:25] hehe [06:25] what number [06:25] should it be [06:25] where can I put some bash script to execute before /etc/fstab is processed? [06:25] !? [06:25] a line begin with default [06:25] 1? [06:25] ehmmm [06:26] losher: http://pastebin.com/m72c5226f [06:26] yes [06:26] do i uncomment "default num" [06:26] NO [06:26] or change the "default (0)" [06:27] u will have no choice when swich on [06:27] ohh ok [06:27] no () [06:27] yeah no () [06:27] just num change is ok [06:27] its just default 0 [06:27] just change it to 1? [06:27] default 1 ! [06:27] yes [06:27] ok thanks [06:27] sorry lol [06:28] :D [06:29] Xcerca, http://webupd8.blogspot.com/2009/08/how-to-install-nvidia-190xx-drivers-in.html [06:29] ok done [06:29] let me reboot [06:29] FooZ: looks a lot like https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/395318 [06:29] this box here [06:30] i'm sorry for using enter as punctuation, i really am, but i've been using IRC for several years and it's hard for me to change habits :) [06:30] bear with me please :D [06:30] Howdy, I'm trying to make an Ubuntu install USB drive and am having difficulties. Could anyone lend a hand. I am unable to satisfy dependencies for UNetbooting and usb-creator is not found in a package search [06:30] 8-) [06:31] alus: fstab is processed really early on. What are you trying to do? [06:31] is there a ubuntu chat channel [06:31] where i can chat freeely :) [06:31] !ot | drygrain [06:31] drygrain: #ubuntu-offtopic [06:31] drygrain: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [06:31] losher: I need to create a directory so that it can be used as a mount point [06:31] cool :) [06:31] losher: because of my environment, I can't make sure the directory exists when the machine is shut down [06:33] i always see losher as loser [06:33] haha [06:33] alus: you can create /etc/rc.local, put the mkdir in there, and also a mount command. No need to do this before fstab runs... [06:33] weidhhe: time you moved to #ubuntu-offtopic [06:33] >< eclipse is much slower and breakpoint isn't in unbuntu then windows [06:34] losher: I guess I could remove all the lines from /etc/fstab and move them to mount commands, but one of these directories is /var [06:34] losher: isn't /etc/rc.local a little late for that? [06:35] Circs: You want to make a USB stick to install? or USB stick that's a system? [06:35] Flannel: USB install [06:36] Flannel: USB to install [06:36] alus: no need to remove anything from /etc/fstab. You can re-issue mount commands at any time. In a normal system, /var should never get deleted anyway. Is there something unusual about your system you haven't told us? === ericm_ is now known as ericm-afk [06:36] Crap [06:36] Circs: Have you tried using the USB creator magic thing on an Ubuntu install (or live CD) [06:36] weidhhe, it didnt work [06:36] losher: it's running in EC2, and I'm mounting /var to a drive which will not get wiped on reboot [06:36] Flannel: I don't see anything like that, but I'm on 8.04 [06:36] Circs: like this, except 9.04 (I don't believe anything significant has changed): http://www.pendrivelinux.com/ubuntu-810-install-using-the-built-in-usb-installer/ [06:36] did u save the change to menu.lst? [06:37] weidhhe, the boot menu appears to be different than menu.lst [06:37] hehe [06:37] Circs: Ah, grab a newer liveCD and it'll be able to do it. It'll make a system from an arbitrary iso. [06:37] 30 second timer instead of 3 and it also has "press f8 for windows troubleshooting" [06:37] Flannel: No access to optical drive for either computer in question at the moment [06:37] losher: now, I could make a fake /var which gets mounted over, but I want to make sure I mount over it before anything critical happens [06:38] you should not change number of timeout ya [06:38] does it make a difference that it's installied via wubi? [06:38] Is there a client similar to mIRC for Linux? Mainly the feature to create scripts. [06:38] i did not change number of timeout [06:38] i noticed it was 3 [06:38] when editing menu.lst [06:38] Circs: we can try to backport it, let me take a look [06:38] ehmmmm [06:38] but on startup its 30sec [06:38] Flannel: UNetbootin says that it cannot resolve a dependency, let me see. libqt4-network is what it can't get [06:39] cat menu.lst? [06:39] and paste it? [06:39] Circs: Looks like usb-creator should be a painless backport.... Oooh, so painless, that it's already in -backports [06:39] its on other comp [06:39] but i will try [06:39] ssh into it [06:40] Flannel: What magic should I concentrate on working then? [06:40] wtf [06:40] dude its booting up weird [06:40] all i changed was 0 to 1 [06:40] :| [06:40] alus: ok, well if you grep for fstab in /etc/init.d/* you'll see the scripts which mount stuff (in my release it's done in mountall.sh). I suppose that's where you'd test for /var and mkdir it if it doesn't exist... [06:40] it has a lot of options here [06:40] "drop to root terminal, safe mode, etc" [06:40] Circs: Just install that package, I'll just give you a direct link: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy-backports/all/usb-creator/download [06:40] dude,how wired ur ubuntu is [06:41] aha theres my prompt [06:41] its 9.04 :/ [06:41] <_ged> in the var/sys/syslog, it displays the logs of the system including the cron right?? what if i only wanted to see the logs of the cron?? or redirect it to some file,then the output should be like the output of the syslog that displays what time the cron takes place. So that I can easily see the logs of my cron. Thanks [06:41] losher: neat, thanks! [06:41] i installed it on this box with wubi though [06:41] if that makes a difference [06:42] Flannel = Magic [06:42] What do I need to apt-get install in order to be able to compile 32 bit stuff? [06:42] _ged: why not just egrep -i cron /var/log/syslog to see only the cron lines...? [06:42] weidhhe, how to ssh into other box? on same wireless network [06:43] oh,long story to say... [06:43] u should config sshd... [06:43] ok nm [06:43] never mind [06:43] and users allowed [06:43] i will just join chat from that box [06:43] and paste [06:44] fosrs. I want to compile wine from git, and it complains that I don't have gcc -m32, so what do I need to be able to compile stuff with multilib? [06:45] hello dgee [06:45] hello [06:46] ok [06:46] can i pm u my cat menu.lst [06:46] guten morgen [06:48] how do you change the brightness on a laptop running ubuntu?

[06:50] *in [06:50] oh my [06:50] open mouth insert foot [06:50] :x [06:50] sorry [06:50] anyone happen to know if there's a room on Freenode specifically for Linux Kernel development? [06:51] theres the ##linux [06:51] is wikipedia down at the momment? [06:51] I cannot get my external CD rom drive to mount - USB - running ubuntu 9.04 64 bit [06:53] devrethman: dunno much about it. Try googling 'ubuntu gcc multilib' [06:54] ohhhh I see why editing grub/menu.lst isnt doing any good; option 0 (default) is normal Ubuntu, 1 is recovery mode, 2 is prior kernel, et cetera [06:54] something is handling the boot before grub [06:54] i think its a windows application [06:54] you dont say [06:55] i do [06:55] :X [06:55] altf2o: sorry, but if you can't find the irc channel unaided, you're probably not ready to talk to kernel developers. Try http://kernelnewbies.org/ instead [06:55] lol [06:56] somehow true [06:56] losher: Pidgin doesn't appear to have a "list channel" feature, hence my question. [06:56] I am using Pidgin and it DOES have list channels :) [06:56] need to know how to mount Bus 001 Device 003?? - usb cd rom drive? [06:57] altf2o: /msg ALIS list #*searchterm* [06:57] perhaps i simply overlooked, let me look again.

[07:02] hey ubuntu, i adjusted the "nice"ness of a process too high via the process manager ("set priority"). now the process runs, but gdm does not. how can i readjust it through a terminal === sourcode[0] is now known as sberry [07:02] who knows how to change grub?

[07:04] and then i reinstall vista instead of xp. [07:04] yin - you install windows first... [07:04] the boot menu i see at the beginning is what i'm trying to change [07:04] drygrain: I guess autoexec.bat? [07:04] change the default and remove the 30 second timer [07:04] but the boot menu is still xp and ubuntu [07:04] Flannel: Maybe someone could take care of weidhhe? he's becoming a nuisance to people actually looking for help [07:05] yin - isn't that what you want? [07:05] the boot menu that comes up first is the windows OS selector thingy [07:05] not ,vista should use bcdedit...

[08:14] Menza: ive been searching the forums and still no luck [08:14] I've run into a problem with my Add/Remove Packages [08:14] PapaGoose: SATA, but linux sees most things as SCSI anyways [08:14] miguelonnnn: Ty for trying [08:14] sry then, i don't know how can i help. What system are you in now Circs ? [08:14] ok no problem :( [08:14] miguelonnnn: A laptop, the system I am trying to install on is a HTPC [08:15] They all say "*package* cannot be installed on your computer type (i386). Either the application requires special hardware features or the vendor decided not to support your computer type." [08:15] xodiac13,what is ur mainboard chipset?esp. southbridge chip! [08:15] on every single available package [08:15] ubuntu no longer supports i386!? :p [08:16] ...? [08:16] but to install ubuntu into the hdd, you need first a system. What system you got in your laptop Circs ? [08:16] quick question, im going to do a full ubuntu install... just wondering about how much space to allocate for each partition [08:16] * herenbdy is not serious [08:16] ok [08:16] Circs: Just thought it was odd since my sata drives always appear as /dev/sd*, I've never noted them appearing as scsi [08:16] Jan500: uh lol how do i copy and paste from terminal to xchat sorry [08:16] G-man: ubuntu without the home directory only takes a few gigs [08:16] Jan500: i did the command i just need to know the keystrokes [08:16] give me figures... [08:16] G-man: How much disk space do you have you wish to use for Ubuntu? [08:16] G-man: depends on your usage, but minimum of 10 gb for / and the rest for home is good [08:16] like what 5gig then 20, then what [08:16] G-man: my ubuntu install is currently using...... 3-4 GB without my /home dir [08:16] G-man: (in total) [08:16] I'm a bit confused. I have a thumbdrive with 3 fat16 partitions on it with an msdos partition table (all created in gparted). Somebody is trying to tell me they want to "assign drive letters" to the partitions (for windows). However, it is my understanding that the drive letter isn't held in the partition table and it's simply assigned by windows when it is first plugged in? (seems like a windows question, but I'm more askin [08:16] g about the way partition tables work ;)) [08:17] Anyone can help with my problem? [08:17] I've run into a problem with my Add/Remove Packages [08:17] G-man: 10GB for / and w/e you want for /home sounds good [08:17] They all say "*package* cannot be installed on your computer type (i386). Either the application requires special hardware features or the vendor decided not to support your computer type." [08:17] jhesketh_: Right click My Computer -> Manage -> Disk Management. You can change the drive letters there. [08:17] install any linux distro in any distyo is easy,if in windows,its difficult [08:17] kk [08:17] Xodiac13: crtl + shift + c ? [08:17] G-man: It really depends on how much space you have in total. [08:17] that will keep ubuntu crisp [08:17] aye? [08:17] Jan500: thz [08:17] G-man: remember, the more software you install, the more the / is used up [08:17] G-man: yeah, ubuntu itself does not take much space, it's all your personal stuff that does [08:17] G-man: If you had a figure for that, it'd be easier to give you a recommendation. [08:18] MenZa: Yes, but changing letters in there only sets it for the current machine right? the information isn't stored on a partition table is it? [08:18] Jan500: thats wasnt it [08:18] Correct. [08:18] You can't do that. [08:18] you can label internally the disk, so it has the same label for any computer you plug the device [08:18] hi all, sorry for a stupid question - how to check what version of ubuntu i'm running, as in 7.04 or 7.10, etc.? [08:18] its about 130gigs [08:18] A label isn't a drive letter though, miguelonnnn [08:18] G-man: all official software or debs you download take up space in / [08:18] yeah :( [08:18] kk [08:18] G-man: And RAM? [08:18] 2 gigs [08:18] yep, I'm familiar with labels [08:18] ram [08:18] ok thanks guys :) [08:19] G-man: keep 1 gb for swap space [08:19] Xodiac13: which terminal do you use? [08:19] ;[ [08:19] jlist: lsb_release -r [08:19] G-man: what is hard disk size? [08:19] G-man: 10G /, 2G swap, rest for /home. That's my recommendation. [08:19] Jan500: xterm [08:19] got it thanks sub[t]rnl [08:19] G-man: You probably won't use up those 10G, but that's to make sure you have enough space to fit basically what you want on it. Generally, swap should be RAMx2, but you have plenty. [08:20] G-man: And /home... well, that takes up space. [08:20] 10g/ 2g swap in the middle rest allocate for /home [08:20] got it [08:20] thanks bro [08:20] Welcome. Enjoy :) [08:20] MenZa: why not ? i have 10 gb / which is almost getting full now [08:20] indus: I've never filled up my 8G /. [08:20] heh... gonna be a bit before i install... gotta make sure backup all my webpages... n what not [08:20] indus: You need to remove some software you don't use. [08:20] im going to try to save my game macros, on my external hardrive [08:21] Now, for home. [08:21] MenZa: have you installed mysql, mythtv, etc? [08:21] in hopes that i dont have to redo them... [08:21] G-man: when you install ubuntu, you can migrate existing windows settings [08:21] Sure, indus. [08:21] G-man: if it detects any windows partitions [08:21] alright..i installed ubuntu just now..and my /home is a seperate partition with loads of hidden folders..config files....it's messing things up a bit....should i rm ~/.* ? [08:21] Not myth, but mysql, yes. [08:21] test [08:21] Now, my laptop is pretty much dead. So I have to run off. [08:21] !test | BrendanClements [08:21] BrendanClements: yes, I'm alive.

[08:21] but what if i plan to clear those [08:21] i was wantign to reformat [08:21] then do ubuntu [08:21] I need serious help within 4 hours or my step dad is going to kill me.

[08:25] haha [08:25] pwned!!! <----gay [08:25] lmfao noobuntu [08:25] haha [08:25] BrendanClements: the first thing to try is to use something like Hiren's bootcd to run partitionmagic or something like that to see if the partition table can be repaired. Your second step is to use an XP boot disk run i think fixboot and fixmbr [08:25] http://paste.ubuntu.com/267433/ [08:25] yeah, i like that one ll [08:25] lol* [08:25] that overwrites Grub with the original XP bootloader, returning windows back to normal [08:25] no xp boot dis [08:26] im gonna start tellin noobs to dl that [08:26] on video games [08:26] lol [08:26] hiren's boot cd [08:27] BrendanClements: thats for windows [08:27] quick, just need a program/free ware to make my ubuntu cd [08:27] can someone be clear what the problem of BrendanClements is [08:27] please 1 question: i've read that composition window managers work on graphics already done by the x server, but i wonder, why don't make a composition x server so you don't need 2 stages so it'll be faster? [08:27] BrendanClements: hmmm....you could be in trouble then. the other thing you could do is use say an ubuntu live disk to try and repair the partition table using fsck or something, or edit your grub's menu.lst to see if that fixes it, or try to just reinstall grum [08:27] i only have blank DVDs [08:27] hi,hubby [08:27] grub-install [08:27] from live cd [08:27] I tried reinstalling grub via the packet manager which did not work [08:28] via LIVE CD [08:28] BrendanClements: so u have a problem with grub? [08:28] correct [08:28] grub-install sda [08:28] apparently. it won't let me boot anything other than the live cd [08:28] BrendanClements: can u see the grub menu when u boot system [08:28] what about free easy burner [08:28] i forgot [08:28] i have one [08:28] is the syntax, i believe [08:28] no just the Error 21 [08:28] indus: it says 'grub loading' and then 'error 21' at which point nothing else can be done with grub [08:28] I will try grub-install sda [08:29] that will work [08:29] correct [08:29] PapaGoose: aah thats easy [08:29] lol [08:29] that is what it says [08:29] BrendanClements: follow me [08:29] okayt [08:29] BrendanClements: use live cd and boot ubuntu first [08:29] done [08:29] indus: i'm curious too now, the only way I fixed mine what that happened was to use the xp install cd to nuke grub [08:29] no grub install will fix it...papa [08:30] i've done something kind of similar...and that worked [08:30] nuke =p [08:30] c4 [08:30] indus you're seriously my hero if you can help me fix this [08:30] BrendanClements: now in a terminal type sudo grub [08:31] that's why i perfer boot sector on a seperate EXT2 partition [08:31] but, this is n00buntu.... [08:31] and that's not kosher here [08:31] antonius602: sure it is... you have the option of doing manual partitioning in the installer [08:31] and someone here is gonna walk the user through it? id on't think so.. [08:32] hi [08:32] homeboy told me to do... 10 for / 2 for swap, rest for /home [08:32] how are you?

[08:49] jlist: try this.. echo /usr/lib/ | sudo tee -a /etc/ld.so.conf.d/libc.conf && sudo ldconfig [08:49] fcking crazy hard to mount...if need of emergency rescue [08:49] G-man: you can use the same file system for everything unless you have a very special need, ie: video editing [08:49] BrendanClements: i dont have all the time in the world [08:49] lvm..hta is [08:49] that is [08:50] sorry, what? [08:50] jlist: basically supplying the path to your libc.conf [08:50] im gonna do (/10) (2swap) (/home rest of hd) [08:50] !language > antonius602 [08:50] antonius602, please see my private message [08:50] on ext 3 [08:50] ffs [08:50] i guess [08:50] BrendanClements: i asked a question, how did you 'install' to flash drive [08:50] i would like to know what the difference is [08:50] sub[t]rnl: it outputs /usr/lib/ [08:50] please tell me, if i undertood what i read, composition x servers do an additional step to display graphics, why don't make simply a x composition server, so the output is already composited and avoid two stages which makes it slower? [08:50] I think i missed something, i was waiting for you. i apologize for the inconvienence and appreciate your patience [08:50] but i dont think anybody really knows [08:50] what is the difference in xmms, xmms2 and mpd? [08:51] jlist: correct, but it also adds it to the file, now try running apt [08:51] sub[t]rnl: i'm not sure what it means, though. [08:51] @indus i said above that i ran the live cd and selected the flash drive as the install directory [08:51] Lartza_ they will all play ur music lol [08:51] sub[t]rnl: just ran apt-get again, same errors [08:51] BrendanClements: oh ok [08:51] once again, sorry and thanks [08:51] jlist did you run ldconfig? [08:51] BrendanClements: ok [08:51] Lartza_, i went with banshee [08:51] so which should i DL the 9.04 desktop or the 8.04 [08:51] Well I know difference of xmms and xmms2/mpd [08:52] sub[t]rnl: yes [08:52] BrendanClements: is the flash drive plugged in now? [08:52] and vlc [08:52] 8.04 says maintained until 2011 [08:52] just ran a search for "grub" on my main boot drive and only found 4 .gif files :( [08:52] g-man,,use slackware ya [08:52] But, xmms2 vs mpd [08:52] sub[t]rnl: actually /usr/lib/ is already in there. I see two lines of it now [08:52] G-man: 9.04 is newer, but is maintained for a shorter period [08:52] drygrain: VLC rocks for media other than music [08:52] G-man: 9.10 (coming out next april) will be the next long-term release [08:52] sub[t]rnl: /usr/local/lib in front of /usr/lib/ [08:52] herenbdy: thats 10.04 [08:52] will i be able to upgrade [08:52] within ubuntu [08:52] ? [08:52] err, yeah :) [08:52] G-man: yes [08:53] sub[t]rnl: on top of, right? [08:53] Hi, I setup a webserver on my ubuntu 8.04, NATted port 80 to the internal IP - but I'm not able to access the webserver by using the external IP? CanYouSeeMe.org confirms port 80 is open and natted to the correct internal IP - so what have I missed? [08:53] G-man: though fresh installs are usually cleaner [08:53] so use 8.04 [08:53] jlist: on top of, right? [08:53] then take the leap [08:53] later on [08:53] sub[t]rnl: sorry on top of [08:53] biesbjerg: most ISPs block port 80 [08:53] BrendanClements: i aks again, is the flash drive plugged in now? [08:53] Roger! [08:53] negative [08:53] jlist: wonder why its complaining... [08:53] how hard is it to upgrade to newest stable release? [08:53] BrendanClements: then how do u expect it to boot? [08:53] but when it was i still got the grub error [08:53] hrm [08:53] biesbjerg: even though I specifically forwad port 80 on my router, I cannot access port 80 externally [08:53] let me try it again [08:53] hello :) can someone help me with a quick filesystem question? [08:53] biesbjerg: oh... canyouseeme.org can see you, nvm [08:54] biesbjerg,tell me ur ip,let me scan u~~~~~~~~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 [08:54] BrendanClements:yes plug it in then do the find /boot/grub/stage1 [08:54] haha [08:54] lol weidhhe [08:54] 32 or 64 ? [08:54] i have a pentium d [08:54] lol [08:54] 925 [08:54] take it to undernet [08:54] G-man: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:54] G-man: 32bit [08:54] roger [08:54] weidhhe: Go ahead ;) /whois biesbjerg [08:55] :| [08:55] no no no [08:55] Sorry indus. I figured if the flash drive wasn't plugged in then grub had to be on the hd :( re-booting live cd, almost in now [08:55] dont put your real name in the real name box [08:55] on irc [08:55] *facepalm* [08:55] i aint hard to find [08:55] how do i change my primary filesystem back to read-write from read only? [08:55] lol [08:55] 27 terrace street, montpelier vermont [08:56] come get me [08:56] lol [08:56] damn server down or what [08:56] wont let me DL [08:56] i'll sign you up for free gay porn ad mailing lists [08:56] 8.04 [08:56] :/ [08:56] i'll be waiting with my baretta 40 cal... now that's just messed up [08:56] and so will romanians on undernet [08:56] so lol2u [08:56] :] [08:56] anyone know? [08:57] dirty... very dirty (waits for live cd...) [08:57] lol [08:57] so guys [08:58] i have this netbook [08:58] and its not very good at rendering 3d [08:58] any 1 can help me fix this The OAFIID error is not a GnoMenu bug... its a gnome-panel bug. [08:58] how do i find out what video card i have and how i can improve its functionality? [08:58] drygrain, that's because it's a netbook [08:58] drygrain, lspci | grep VGA [08:58] dry,lspci [08:58] hmmmm [08:58] @indus "no such file or directory" but i am certain that this is because i am in live cd and the terminal starts out in the default place [08:58] lspci? [08:58] or |grep video [08:58] in terminal? [08:59] They're not made for power, more so portability. [08:59] yes [08:59] Hi there. i want to upgrade the CPU for my computer/server running ubuntu. Its not dual core, so am i safe/ok to swap it, i.e it wont effect anything(kernel)? [08:59] what was the command to find the hard drives again so i can do a cd? [08:59] drygrain, and as mentionned before, don't expect netbook to excel at 'rendering 3d' [08:59] hey guys i have a question. i wont to set up an bridged interface for a virtualbox on an ubuntu 8.04 server, because i have only remote access i want to use a second ip address to do this. but i don't have any idea how to do this [08:59] Does music player dameon use music library/database? [08:59] Hi! How can i get resolution of 1400x990 ? I am using Intel 865G and Ubuntu 9.04. [08:59] BrendanClements: maybe you're talking about sudo fdisk -l [08:59] My netbook 3d is slooow [08:59] 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GME Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) [09:00] 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/GME, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) [09:00] S_A, xrandr -s 1440x900 [09:00] :x [09:00] BrendanClements: sudo fdisk -l ? [09:00] thanks papa [09:00] drygrain: what ubuntu release? [09:00] nvm i found it, sudo -o remount -t sda1 /dev/sda1 [09:00] thanks anyway... [09:00] 9.04 [09:00] drygrain: jaunty + intel can be quite a headache. [09:00] bah [09:01] 9.04 it is [09:01] lol [09:01] laclasse: I already checked. xrandr doesn;t list this in supported mdoes [09:01] is that so [09:01] intel atom processor [09:01] :x [09:01] drygrain: yes, check the release notes. (or upgrade notes_ [09:01] oh wait... can i run UO in 9.04 [09:01] ? [09:01] @indus i now have /dev/sdba 1, 2 and 5 [09:01] Ultima Online with razor [09:01] S_A, how do u know the card/monitor can do this then? [09:01] hey guys, anyone have used any good ocr software in ubuntu? [09:02] Hello, would somebody have any skills to check whether this smb.conf could work to share the whole system w/o restriction? http://vim.pastey.net/124886 no answer on #samba [09:02] so will karmic work better with intel? [09:02] @indus but this error occurs even when the flash drive is out meaning that the hard drives in the comp are looking for something they shouldn't be [09:02] laclasse: This is very generic wide screen resolution and shud be possible. [09:02] drygrain: what do you mean by that, which component? [09:02] S_A, never assume [09:02] drygrain: allegedly yes. [09:02] drygrain,u are workong on intel x4500 ,there is no tweak method for the integrated with a low cpu...swich back to xp is the last solution [09:03] :o [09:03] :D [09:03] S_A, if you monitor does not give to xrandr the EID data that says 1440x900, then it could be your video bios no catering for that size [09:03] timClicks, graphics cards [09:03] timClicks, also the atom processor [09:03] drygrain: i got so frustrated with my intel card, i went back to hardy (which is fine). [09:03] S_A, i suggest you find the real modes supported by your exact monitor [09:03] how do i downgrade to hardy [09:04] drygrain: how confident are you to tweak things yourself? [09:04] @indus, did you copy that? [09:04] not very, but i can take instruction [09:04] drygrain: downgrading is not supported. you'd have to reinstall :( . look in the ubuntu forums for your card + jaunty, and see if there's any help. [09:04] drygrain: it may not be ubuntu, you could try searching for other 'window managers' [09:04] and see how you feel [09:05] most are very snappy, even on machines with lower specs [09:05] likee kde/gnome? [09:05] BrendanClements: What does it say in /etc/boot/grub/menu.lst [09:05] :/ [09:05] Anywhere I could get mpd debs? [09:05] drygrain: yip :) [09:05] is it easy enough to upgrade a cpu on a pc running ubuntu? im worried about it not booting up [09:05] hm [09:05] drygrain: (you're running gnome now :) [09:05] yeah i know that much ;) [09:05] is casper alive? [09:06] !casper [09:06] Sorry, I don't know anything about casper [09:06] i used redhat once on a box i built as a teenager [09:06] and used kde [09:06] okay [09:06] AdvoWork,cpu upgrade is irrelevant with os...just go ahead [09:06] but thats the extent of my linux knowledge [09:06] because that box soon died :D [09:06] :D [09:07] BrendanClements: what's the output from 'cat /etc/boot/grub/menu.lst' ? [09:07] you mean boot/grub? [09:07] AdvoWork: if u change just the cpu then no problem about your ubuntu install.. if u change mother board too it s another story u have to considerate drivers to load befaore mounting your filesystem [09:07] BrendanClements: yes thats what i mean ;) [09:07] I'm reading the file now... trying to get around the hashed out lines, lol [09:07] drygrain: enlightenment is quite an attractive option [09:07] http://xwinman.org/enlightenment.php [09:08] ammonkey, at the moment, im just going to change memory, and cpu. so i should be fine? [09:08] fluxbox is another decent option... [09:08] BrendanClements: brb 5 mins [09:08] * timClicks nods [09:08] okay [09:09] what xubuntu [09:09] alla bout [09:09] timClicks / weidhhe: isn't the problem with all these 'lightweight' DE's that you're gonna end up needing the heavier gnome/kde libs anyway because a lot of apps depend on them? [09:09] whats the difference [09:09] between ubuntu and xubuntu [09:09] laclasse: Got it working. [09:09] G-man: only the desktop environment, gnome vs xfce [09:09] G-man: ubuntu has the GNOME desktop, and xubuntu has xfce. [09:09] which is better [09:09] clearscreen, u r right,much dependent on some libs [09:09] gnome [09:09] ? [09:09] laclasse: Added a modeline and it was up [09:09] G-man: try them out. see what you think [09:09] G-man, 'better' is subjective. [09:10] G-man: xfce is lighter. gnome probably has more features, but is more bloated. [09:10] so xubuntu [09:10] G-man, xfce is less resource intensive, if you're running an older machine [09:10] but gnome is more elegant... [09:10] this computer came out in 2007 [09:10] xubuntu if you're still using a pentium 2 *** [09:11] G-man, a 2007 machine will run gnome just fine. my machine is older than that. [09:11] a 2002 machine will run gnome just fine :P [09:11] If I install ubuntu with alternate install, how do I prevent it overwriting my vista partition? [09:11] all of them lighter than xp [09:11] any1 have a server migration guide ? [09:11] i assum [09:11] :) [09:11] I have a circa 2001 machine that runs gnome just fine.. [09:11] trin - manually partition [09:11] G-man, yes. (and please don't use Enter as punctuation!) [09:12] @PaPa: http:/ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1261667 [09:12] Trijntje: there'll be a part of the installer which gives you the option to partition as you wish. [09:12] build ur own gnome ,erase those u wont use for ever.. [09:12] BrendanClements: 10 min sorry iam busy now [09:12] @papa my last post quotes the output of that file [09:12] prince_jammys: but won't it put grub on the partition with the boot flag? Cause thats where my vista is [09:13] ciao [09:13] g-man,u seems wrong.xp is much better in any way except of $$$$ [09:13] i think that's what it did because even with the flash drive out it gives me the grub error [09:13] Trijntje: grub usually auto detects windows installs and adds them to the boot list [09:13] any idea where the boot list files are? [09:13] Trijntje: you can instruct the installer to leave that partition alone. [09:14] hi [09:14] boot list file?its menu.lst for grub loader [09:14] lol, woulda if i knew how. its a little late now anyway - we're in the recovery phase now [09:14] :-[ [09:14] BrendanClements: /boot/grub/menu.lst [09:15] that's the ubuntu load file, but you said it installed on the other directory [09:15] there is no "boot" file in the main hard drive [09:15] folder* [09:15] BrendanClement, u r lovely ya [09:15] haha [09:16] no, i am screwed if i don't get this fixed within a few hours [09:16] prince_jammys: I see, but I thought that grub needed to be on the first partition or something like that. But if I just select the correct part of the disk grub will magically figure things out itself? [09:16] see:en.wikipedia.org/wiki/boot_loader [09:17] what happened to wicd? its not in the repos anymore. how can i get it? [09:17] @BrendanClements ok so it looks like the problem is that the uuid's are incorrect, so the first thing to try is commenting out all of the sections relating to ubuntu, that is all of the lines after 'End Default Options' up to 'END DEBIAN....' [09:17] grub can be installed in any partation of mbr! [09:17] when burning ubuntu to cd, do i make data cd / dvd or dvd video? [09:17] or ,not of [09:17] Trijntje: i'm inclined to say the installer will "work it out" (i've done it myself a few times), but consult with others to verify. [09:17] i have dvd discs [09:17] @BrendanClements no idea if that'll work :P but fingers crossed [09:18] okay [09:18] and i should start with the flash drive in? [09:18] keep in mind, i still get the error with the flash drive out [09:18] prince_jammys: well, as long as it leaves my vista alone, ill keep a copy of my current menu.lst to manualy add vista if needed [09:18] @BrendanClements the alternative is that grub is going wrong earlier in the boot process, in which case menu.lst won't even be used [09:19] @BrendanClements hmm actually maybe it would be better to try reinstalling grub like someone suggested before [09:19] g-man,u need more disk knoweldge,,,data disk and boot disk..audio disk,video disk... [09:19] it won't let me save because i do not have the permissions, lol [09:19] what is the terminal command to reinstall? [09:19] <|-Gobi-|> does anyone know what is wrong when I ctrl-alt-f2 I just get blank screen not TTY [09:19] i want to make boot disc [09:19] of ubuntu [09:19] root (hdx,y)---> setup... [09:20] i have those options in my burning software [09:20] hello - i'm running ubuntu 8.04 and i'm having trouble with a cron job that is not running, located in cron.weekly... could someone let me know what i should check in order to make sure it's going to run, please? [09:20] Trijntje: if it's like the minimal installer (which i think it is), at one point you'll reach the Partitioner stage. Select 'manual' and ensure that the windows partition isn't touched at all. [09:20] @BrendanClements actually maybe the bigger problem is that you can't do find /boot/grub/stage1, so grub mightn't even be on the correct drive [09:20] Get the permissions, then you get the power, then you get the women [09:21] is your USB stick bootable? [09:21] prince_jammys: ill do that, thanks for your help [09:21] Well it gives me the error EVEN when the flash drive is out. Keep in mind that the flash drive is what ubuntu was installed onto. [09:21] http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-24113.html [09:21] g_man, u wanna burn disk to install ubuntu?its unnecessary [09:21] Trijntje: welcome. do that stage slowly :) [09:21] well i wanted to reformat while i was at it [09:21] as well [09:21] i can do that without cd [09:21] ? [09:22] not difficult except one partation... [09:22] @PaPa: at this point i don't even care about ubuntu not working with the flash drive. all i want to do is make it so i can use windows xp again by removing whatever ubuntu installed onto my hard drive [09:22] @BrendanClements ghostintheshell seems to have a working solution [09:22] where u locate ur iso file [09:23] i wanted to redo partitoins [09:23] as well [09:23] @BrendanClements yes I understand, i had *exactly* the same problem as you, and I got my windows back by using the XP install disk in recovery mode. but since you don't have it, we need to fix grub instead [09:23] cuz i have three right now for windows xp, one for windows xp, one for programs, and one for downloads [09:23] G-man: Well, it's difficult to reformat without the use of a live-cd-esque environment. [09:23] @BrendanClements because without the XP install cd, you can't restore the original NT bootloader that comes with windows [09:23] okay, i see the post [09:24] so use my g-parted cd [09:24] u can only change other partations there is no install files on [09:24] first? [09:24] @weidhhe the iso was burned onto a dis [09:24] I'd personally suggest using gparted [09:24] so first step would be to mount your ubuntu partition as suggested [09:24] G-man: Well, the ubuntu install CD is equally fine for the job unless you plan on doing advanced partition management. [09:24] yeah i was going to paartition [09:24] i just find thinks are more neat like that [09:24] g-man, burn disk la,that 's easist.. [09:24] The ubuntu live CD is fine to do basic partition management. [09:25] someone else says if you have windows, make sure you install to the device (/dev/hda for example) rather than a partition (/dev/hda1) or else windows will be irreparably damaged [09:25] Actually, it's more than fine. [09:25] so keep an eye out for that [09:25] @papa i do not have ab applications>system tools folder. how do i get root access with the default terminal? [09:25] thats what i was asking for a program [09:25] If you boot into the live environment on it, then run the gnome-equivalent of "kdesudo gparted" and you'll have a very similar environment to the gparted live distro. [09:25] name so i can dl a image burner [09:25] to make my ubuntu cd, then iw as going to run g parted, [09:25] learn to install os from hard disk is necessary... [09:26] G-man: a windows cd image burner? [09:26] aye [09:26] @BrendanClements you just stick 'sudo' in front of any command to run it with root privileges [09:26] thank you. trying now [09:26] G-man: you probably have one already. back in the day, i used to use 'deepburner', which was freeware. [09:26] what repository should I use as "unstable", I'm on 9.04? I would like to retrieve the latest sqlite3, and I know how to pin the other packages [09:27] actually wait a sec... [09:27] (and I would like to automate process, so one-off dpkg-buildpackage is disliked option) [09:27] you're going to run into problems [09:27] G-man ://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto [09:27] because grub will want to be installed onto an ubuntu installation [09:27] PapaGoose, BrendanClements: You should only use sudo for command line programs. When running GUI programs, you should use kdesudo or gnome-sudo depending on your window manager. [09:27] yes i am [09:27] thanks [09:28] G-man :https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto [09:28] @bobthemil: mkdir /mnt/* is command line ;) [09:28] which is on the flash drive. the problem is not in the flash drive it is on the hard drive :( [09:28] iridian_: perhaps it's available from a ppa. [09:28] thats right...hmmm.... [09:28] PapaGoose: I was clarifying for future reference. [09:28] @BrendanClements: is there no way at all to get the XP install cd? [09:28] well, maybe there IS a problem there but i really don't care if that one gets fixed. just whatever it screwed up in the windows drive [09:29] @BrendanClements: because if you can get it, its like a 5 minute fix [09:29] negative [09:29] blah this sucks [09:29] prince_jammys: it's not just a one-off thing, as the developer team developing the other module update their dependencies every now and then, I would like to get it from a 'stable' unstable source [09:29] hi after upgrading to 9.04 I cant activate my HP520's wifi but I upgraded it befor too from 8.04 to 8.11 [09:29] G-man : you can also partition with http://gparted.sourceforge.net/ live CD [09:29] so that I could just apt-get install -t unstable sqlite3 when I need to update to the latest [09:29] iridian_: ok, it seemed like a bad idea :) [09:30] the ppa, that is. [09:30] ninel,what is ur wireless chip? [09:30] its HP520 laptop [09:30] (is there another channel I might be wanting to ask this question?) [09:31] there we go.. its burning now [09:31] im gonna go ahead and redo gparted as well [09:31] i know ,intel /athoes/bcm? [09:31] cuz for whatever reason i coudlnt get my old cd to run [09:31] i think it was scratched [09:31] probably intel [09:31] lspci |grep wireless [09:31] it works from live CD @weidhhe [09:32] man this would be so simple if i just knew what file grub edited on the main hard drive [09:32] grrrrrr [09:32] ok guys i got a tricky one here: i deleted a partition in a multi boot environment from within windows xp, now when grub loads i get an error 15 stating file not found... i have started a live cd now and would like to restore grub, how do i do that? [09:33] @BrendanClements: it didn't edit a file per se, it changed your bootloader (outside the partition) so as i understand, there's no file on the drive to change [09:33] ninel,ur system seems messed up now... [09:33] @BrendanClements: you change it back with the XP installer :P [09:33] there must be a way to access it outside of the kernel level :( [09:33] @remoteCTR1 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=24113 [09:33] BrendanClements, same problem as me or whaut? :D [09:34] error 21 with grub [09:34] weidhhe yep but I wanted to recover this [09:34] @remoteCTR1: that might help, or else try looking at /boot/grub/menu.lst and see if removing invalid entries helps (I assume you didn't delete the partition grub was on) [09:35] ah no wonder gparted wont work right [09:35] I have switched many kernels [09:35] on the site for gpated i get this warning [09:35] hey guys,i have a problem,help me [09:35] even tried 2.6.30 but no use [09:35] ,///WARNING/// Due to a hardware/firmware bug, it's _NOT_ recommended to run GParted live on some types of HP Pavilion machines. Otherwise your VGA card fan might be dead. For more info, please refer to this bug report. [09:35] but thats strange because i've ran it before without problems [09:36] to recover ur wireless card,its difficult...specify the wireless chip ,check relevant module...check driver... [09:36] PapaGoose, ermm... that link leads me to a a site where i can choose from genereal help, installation & upgrades, securitty discussions, etc... ? and nope i had grub in the masterbootrecord actually...

[09:45] SpartanDK: Hmm, then my guess would be that if you had no important data on your ubuntu system, you can safely ignore the backup [09:45] okay guy,thank you [09:45] ninel,reinstall the driver of intel 3945! [09:45] how to do that [09:46] 8-) [09:46] yes its 3945 :) [09:46] google intel 3945 chip linux [09:46] okie [09:46] @BrendanClements just remember that all your stuff is still there, if necessary you can get the XP install disc at a later date and recover it, so don't panic and do anything too drastic [09:47] leave for super now..

[09:57] @BrendanClements what was the BSOD error? [09:58] prince_jammys: ended up using a random ppa after all. Seems like easier than the alternatives after all... [09:58] let me check [09:58] trupheenix, there should be a list of packages somewhere on the Ubuntu site, but I don't seem to be able to find it atm [09:58] sudo replace my wife with an appreciative african refugee [09:59] what's the command for removing prvious versions of the kernel. [09:59] dammit...that was supposed to be in my termial [09:59] it pretends to load the vaio system recovery utility... then once it's totally loaded it says: [09:59] "the session manager initialization system process terminated unexpectedly with a status of 0xc000003a" [10:00] ohhh.... [10:00] why is it loading the vaio system recovery? [10:00] lol... that doesn't sound like a good ooooh [10:00] not sure [10:00] did you give the boot disc the wrong partition? [10:00] the super grub disk looks like it tells the MBR to automatically boot a partition [10:00] and its selected the wrong one instead [10:01] @shivek: use synaptic and remove the previous version of kernel [10:01] DK : no command(s) ' '? [10:01] DK: i tried that, and the bi atch is still here!! lol [10:01] @BrendanClements on this page http://www.supergrubdisk.org/w/index.php5?title=UninstallGRUB did you follow the advanced instructions and choose your windows partition yourself? [10:01] Bye guys. Have a great day ahead. [10:01] BrendanClements: hi [10:01] so where are we now [10:02] sudo apt-get remove [10:02] wait, how far into booting windows did you get? past the loading screen with the bar? [10:02] offcourse you have to know what package is the previous kernel [10:02] so have we booted into ubuntu yet\ [10:02] no papa [10:03] DK : Thank you! ^^D [10:03] didn't even see the windows logo. went straight to recovery [10:03] !who [10:03] As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [10:03] @BrendanClements ok well if it didn't show the windows logo, that's a *good* sign [10:03] you probably just need to use supergrubdisk again and select a different partition instead [10:03] hmmmm, it only shows one [10:03] and it is not the one with windows [10:04] wait [10:04] this may be it === mb is now known as Guest36217 [10:05] wow, i never thought i would be so happy to see that friggen windows logo [10:05] hey guys, Is anyone aware of an app that is capable of syncing music to iphones? [10:05] there, im booted [10:05] awesome :) [10:05] now let's see if it stays this way when i shut down and start up without the disk [10:05] the only thing keeping me awake is brendans whack situation lol [10:05] hahahahaha, thanks [10:05] groobu, have you checked songbird? [10:05] have not, ill have a look now [10:06] you and me both, it's 5 am here... i'm usually sleeping a little past midnight [10:06] the moral of the story is that you never, ever, *ever* want to see grub error 21 [10:06] ty 4 the suggestion [10:06] np [10:06] friggen right you don't [10:06] 7pm here in sydney [10:06] east coast, usa [10:06] 2am west coast usa!! [10:06] long live linux tweakers! [10:06] brendan clearly wins [10:06] 4 pm vietnam [10:07] uh oh [10:07] its trying for the system recovery again [10:07] ok [10:07] i'm 12 and what is this? (but honestly, lets move this to #ubuntu-offtopic :P) [10:07] bsod [10:07] bsod lol [10:07] when you used supergrubdisk, did you actually install the bootloader the second time? or just boot the partition directly? [10:07] i have no clue, hahahaha [10:07] Let's not but pretend we did [10:07] PapaGoose: repairing grub error 21 is not that difficult [10:08] I have an issue where I can login using SSH but not GDM login screen? [10:08] gdm is broken sebrock [10:08] @indus what was your procedure for fixing it? [10:08] sebner, gdm remote login doesnt use ssh protocol [10:08] sebrock: do you have command promt? [10:08] antonius602, authlog: pam_unix(gdm:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=:0 ruser= rhost= [10:08] PapaGoose: repair grub ") with live cd [10:08] DK, yes [10:08] huh [10:09] lol [10:09] sebrock...that's special....not normal [10:09] sebrock: try startx [10:09] DK, and this is loggin in as UID = 1001. X does not work as my user is not allowed [10:09] so PapaGoose is BrendanClements problem solved? [10:09] sebrock: is it root? [10:09] this little doo-dad works but not permenently... there are so many options it's hard to navigate [10:10] sebner, create a file in your home directory called .xinitrc and put in it one line: exec gnome-session [10:10] before startx [10:10] serously [10:10] DK, antonius602 I have tried dpkg-reconfigure X and GDM to no avail. DK , no its as my regular user with UID 1001 [10:10] @indus almost but not quite. he's using supergrubdisk to overwrite the MBR, but it seems to be automatically booting the wrong partition [10:10] indus i can get it to boot into windows using this utility boot cd, but so far i cannot get the permenent fix. [10:10] sebrock: it sounds whacked... [10:10] @BrendanClements on this page http://www.supergrubdisk.org/w/index.php5?title=UninstallGRUB [10:10] so i need to manually select the right one, which i can do but i need it to stay fixed [10:10] sebrock: what is the message when you type startx? [10:10] don't know what u can do w/ that [10:11] antonius602, sharp thinking Sherlock :P [10:11] after you get to 'Fix Boot of Windows' you're saying it only gives you one option? [10:11] hey 3 hours on n00buntu irc...what do u expect? [10:11] let me look this over again papa [10:11] PapaGoose: what do u mean wrong partition [10:12] sebrock: what card? [10:12] DK, something is wrong with PAM auth I think [10:12] @indus supergrubdisk is putting in an MBR that automatically boots one of the partitions on the drive. but its booting the sony service partition instead of the windows partition, so it looks like he selected the wrong partition when installing the new bootloader [10:12] sebrock: what's the error X is giving? [10:13] sebrock: try sudo startx [10:13] PapaGoose: yeah [10:13] i selected the automatic option [10:13] @brendanclements there you go [10:13] besides what u pasted...the log? [10:13] don't use automatic, you need to pick the correct one [10:13] PapaGoose: what about booting ubuntu? [10:13] !iCalendar [10:13] Sorry, I don't know anything about iCalendar [10:13] !screenlets [10:13] Screenlets are little widgets for your !desktop. Note you must have a compositing window manager such as !Compiz Fusion, xcompmgr, or KWin to run them. You can get them at http://www.screenlets.org/ [10:13] gah [10:13] @indus ubuntu was never installed on the hard drive [10:13] !desktop [10:13] A desktop environment is what "puts the pieces of a !GUI together".

[10:14] but instead, the MBR on the hard drive was overwritten with grub, but the ubuntu installation and everything else was on the flash drive [10:14] activate partition of windows, maybe this is it [10:14] i need some help with gparted i lost my data while partioning drives can some help me please :) [10:14] PapaGoose: why is it installing to mbr of flash drive? i prefer internal drive or external usb hdd [10:14] read papagoose, poynt, he's explaining it to indus [10:14] ubuntu does things in it's own particular way...it much harder to diagnose and fix than most distros [10:14] sebrock: reboot and see what is the error message [10:15] @indus because he never wanted ubuntu to be on the local machine, it was supposed to be self-contained on the flash disk [10:15] BrendanClements: ahhh k. partition stuff. i don't play around with partitions unless I have to... [10:15] here we go guys [10:15] DK, done that several time. I get the GDM login screen but my credentials does not work Not for my user nor root [10:15] !iCal [10:15] Sorry, I don't know anything about iCal [10:15] advice: learn linux, then do ubuntu [10:15] PapaGoose: thats fine iam talking about the grub install [10:15] !info iCal [10:15] Package iCal does not exist in jaunty [10:15] cuz the other way around...will cause you fits [10:15] nvm [10:15] ok... well ubottu is wrong... I just installed iCal... [10:15] i have hda1, 2 and 5. 1 is type unknown with 5 gb, 2 is the windows drive and 5 is a partition to seperate memory [10:16] the only thing is, iCal wasn't what i wanted [10:16] <-------waiting to be banned after that comment [10:16] !info ClearCalendar [10:16] Package ClearCalendar does not exist in jaunty [10:16] sebrock: what is the message exactly when you said "my credentials does not work" [10:16] antonius602, keep trolling, you'll earn enough rope eventually. [10:16] @indus i thought it would be best not to install grub onto a drive without any existing linux partitions? so we instead needed to overwrite the MBR. ordinarily this wouldn't be a problem because the drive with the grub MBR would also have had the ubuntu partition [10:16] !room screenlets [10:16] Sorry, I don't know anything about room screenlets [10:16] @BrendanClements yep so use whichever one actually has XP on it [10:16] hey guys i think i got it [10:16] !info Screenlets [10:16] Package Screenlets does not exist in jaunty [10:16] !info screenlets [10:16] screenlets (source: screenlets): Widget-like mini-applications for GNOME.

[10:20] so out of interest [10:20] i see it has a triangle thing in gparted [10:20] why *did* you need it fixed within those few hours? [10:20] don't count on other people , in the future.. [10:20] now i gotta post in the forums with how i fixed it so anyone who actually searches can find [10:21] because my fiance dumped me and im with my parents for a little bit till i can get a new place [10:21] it's my step dad's computer [10:21] BrendanCLements.....a true member of the linux community [10:21] [10:21] and he would be totally rip shit if he woke up and found out his computer was broken, lol [10:21] thanks antonius [10:21] oh right, it was on the forum [10:21] brendanclements> i think i read a post from you [10:21] lol i was lost myself [10:21] lol [10:21] i was in a frantic mode, lol [10:22] ubuntu is hardly linux.. [10:22] while i'm in it too right now..no worries bro [10:22] so before u tell all ur friends [10:22] look around, and LEARN, brother [10:22] antonius602> so u think nothing cna be done ? [10:22] last time was different... i screwed up windows and ended up using ubuntu to save data. this time i messed them both up [10:22] Mqueue: [10:22] ask again [10:22] sorry [10:23] about recovering my partioned drive ? [10:23] when my error 21 happened, i had damaged the partition map [10:23] oh [10:23] so i was rather panicked about whether i'd actually damaged my windows files too :P [10:23] what is the problem? [10:23] explain more [10:23] !language | BrendanClements [10:23] BrendanClements: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [10:23] i partioned my data drive and wrote boot record of ubuntu on it just boot [10:23] sebrock: what is the output of "cat /etc/pam.d/gdm" [10:23] lol nazi ubuntu robot [10:23] lol, sorry indus [10:23] k np [10:24] should be still intact [10:24] Mqueue, what was the type of partition? NTFS? [10:24] it's saying failed to startup volume: invalid arguments [10:24] yes NTFS dynamic drive [10:24] papa's question.ntfs? ext? [10:24] ok [10:24] boot live cd [10:24] see if it's able to mount it [10:24] yes i'm [10:24] then you're in luck [10:24] hi to all [10:24] k let me try [10:24] NTFS is way easier to recover than ext3 i think [10:25] ok i'm in..it has grub and lost+found stuff [10:25] same s h it ..no journalling w/ ntfs... [10:25] so it is a BIT easier [10:25] not ur data? [10:25] package to download you tube videos [10:25] man i would do anyting for this help [10:25] lol [10:25] ^ [10:25] no data [10:26] ghatu: try firefox addon video download helper [10:26] available hard disk space? [10:26] ok [10:26] ghatu: addons.mozilla.org [10:26] does it look like ur stuf is gone? [10:26] @BrendanClements having the XP disk would have been useful though [10:26] the HD is says 197MB and the HD is acutally 320 [10:26] weird.... [10:26] it's not showing in the mounting [10:27] explain what u did [10:27] @Mqueue don't leave out any steps! [10:27] okay i was tryign to reinstall ubuntu and i was trying to do the correct partioning so i don't get grub errors [10:27] ok..... [10:27] and i went to advance install and select that volume [10:28] just to write the boot data [10:28] Mqueue: you mean you selected manual install? [10:28] yes [10:28] antonius602, many things are "wierd" today :) [10:28] let him speak!! he's not done [10:28] Mqueue: and in final step you went to advanced install for grub [10:28] and then it was saying hd0,0 and then i selected this volume of this drive thinking it was the correct one but it was not [10:29] yes in the advance install [10:29] so how did u set up the partitioner?

[10:33] ^indus [10:33] nope [10:33] antonius602, seriously don't give random advice. [10:33] ok reinstall grub then [10:33] can't load it one sec let me mkdir [10:34] Mqueue: could you please repeat the problem you have, i might have missed something [10:34] thanks again for the help guys. i gave you props in my forum post. i gotta go now, cya later [10:34] sebrock: don't give me random gayness [10:34] okay i'm able to mount it [10:34] and ur data is ther? [10:35] okay my data was on sd1 [10:35] antonius602: try not to be obnoxious, if you can manage it. [10:35] phweew [10:35] nice [10:35] that data i am unable to see when i mount [10:35] antonius602, I'm not being nasty just saying your obvious lack of experience produces a lot of guesses. [10:35] i just see the boot loader files [10:36] well, Mqueue, the good news is ..ur data is still in tact :) [10:37] i'm in gparted to see what is going on [10:37] and i see /dev/sdb1 298.09 gib [10:37] Mqueue: do you use live cd or boot from harddisk? [10:37] that's ur NTFS? [10:37] partion /dev/sdb1 triangle [10:38] live cd [10:38] yes [10:38] my data drive [10:38] antonius602, "don't give me random gayness" is not cool. stow the attitude. [10:38] Mqueue: do not use gparted [10:38] okay i'm out [10:38] DK is right.....ur all good [10:38] man [10:39] install to sda [10:39] foof [10:39] install ?? [10:39] ur root filesystem [10:39] having firewall troubles i can use firestarter to disable firewall but i cant edit polices i want to be able to allow inbound port 80 connections [10:39] what the hell are you advicing him to do antonius602? [10:39] Mqueue: open terminal and run sudo fdisk -l [10:40] antonius> but that's NTFS data drive i wana fix [10:40] brrr [10:40] adub: probably it is your router problem, not firewall [10:40] okay i got a list of drives now [10:40] na its not [10:40] i can have it accessed [10:41] i just select disable using firestarter to disalbe firewall on laptop [10:41] and all is well [10:41] but if i close firestarter local firewall enables [10:41] Mqueue..that helps, as i'm not so sure as to what ur trying to do...and all these fanboys keep flaming me left and right lol [10:41] and i cant access port 80 inbound [10:41] lol [10:41] want me to msg u in pvt ? [10:41] so i need to edit a policy but firestarter has this grayed [10:41] maybe PM [10:41] hello, i use lvs with multiple lvs servers, stock ubuntu, and my problem is one of them pushing hundreds of megabits, ipvsadm get slow, and i have 100% softirq load [10:42] adub: what do you mean by firewall? Ubuntu don't come with firewall [10:42] DK, sure it does; iptables is there by default... [10:42] Mqueue, I suggest you listen to the qualified answers. [10:42] hell i dont know then all i know is that if i use firestarter and select option to disable i can then access port 80 [10:42] !ufw | DK [10:42] DK: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Uncomplicated_Firewall_ufw), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI applications such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist [10:42] i'm ready to pull my hair [10:42] lol [10:43] Madpilot: iptables open all port by default [10:43] hi all. if I'm connecting to mysql on localhost using console it works, but using phpmyadmin tells me access denied. Am I missing some settings in mysq/phpmyadmin? [10:43] i can access port 22 and port 5900 and 5901 no problme but i need firestarter and do disable firewall to be able to open port 80 [10:43] DK, true, but that != 'no firewall' - just one with no restrictions [10:43] indus: I see, then need to configure ufw [10:44] Madpilot: we are talking about port 80 blocked [10:44] DK: i suggest gufw the graphical front end to it, i dont advice using firestarter , i read somewher its unmaintained now and frankly dangerous [10:44] i dont know why ubottu still lists firestarter [10:45] indus: shoud be for adub, I don't use firestarted. I write my own rules [10:45] DK: and i live by mine :D [10:46] i accidentally deleted my bottom toolbar how can i get it back [10:46] indus: my own iptables I mean :) [10:46] DK: ya i know what you meant [10:46] what sup dudes [10:46] dk i see wher ei can create an inbound policy [10:47] almostAg33k: right click on top tollbar and choose add [10:47] i want to allow all inbound connections to ports 80 and 5900 [10:47] Mqueue: so is your problem solved? [10:47] adub: did u try in firestarter? its damn easy [10:47] adub: it is not block I guess if you do not block it. Ubuntu by default open all port [10:48] indus thats what im working with [10:48] Hi guys [10:48] adub: so add rules then in firestarter [10:48] please where is the arabic room?

It allows to create non-ASCII symbols. I normally use the windows key for that purpose. In emacs I get the message " not defined" when I hit the Windows key. In earlier versions of Ubuntu everything worked fine. Is this a GTK related problem? [11:08] win start to copy drive file right<< with me [11:09] ok [11:09] on my amd64 computer I am having trouble getting the scanner of my Epson CX5500 to work... here is the output of "lsusb", "sane-find-scanner" and "scanimage -L" http://paste.ubuntu.com/267837/ [11:09] Mqueue: for bootloader it is no problem [11:09] noticed apt-get does not follow the hold-flag set by dpkg/aptitude when doing a dist-upgrade [11:09] Ok when it fnish << what's going to [11:09] but if data formatted, It is difficult [11:10] nope no data is formatted [11:10] it's intact [11:10] i'm sure [11:10] Hitman32: just continue to install [11:10] theo: perhaps, i'm not really sure [11:10] it was a dynamic volume drive /dev/sda1 and it shows still [11:10] see this pic [11:10] http://www.microsoft.com/library/media/1033/windowsxp/images/using/setup/winxp/xp-setup-5-format-progress.jpg [11:10] Mqueue: then it should be able to boot [11:10] yeah i had ubuntu before, but i dont recognize this version [11:10] its weird [11:11] that's the problem after the proper partitioning i went to advanced and installed boot loader on the wrong drive [11:11] Hitman32: ok, and then? [11:11] when finish win rest [11:12] is there any way i can view my install to check if my install went correctly, because it installed very fast [11:12] part of the drive went to linux [11:12] Mqueue: no problem, just go to bios, change your boot harddis to the "wrong" one. [11:12] to start new copy or new step [11:12] G-man: what's "very fast"? [11:12] well u know [11:12] 8 mins [11:12] G-man: sounds about right, on a modern machine. [11:12] like this one [11:12] http://www.microsoft.com/library/media/1033/windowsxp/images/using/setup/winxp/xp-setup-16-welcome-to-micr.jpg [11:12] Hitman32: probable problem with winXP installation cd [11:13] i had three partitions in windoes.... prior to it.... and i went ahead and just installed this one all the way [11:13] sipior: i dont think so [11:13] sipior: will take much more than taht to install it [11:13] didnt really have a chance to partiton manually but oh well [11:13] So try agin? [11:13] indus: doesn't on the machines at my facility. [11:13] Hitman32: look ok right? [11:13] kd8JHC: Maybe I should rather ask in the German Ubuntu forum. I think it might be a common problem for people using an English keyboard who wish to type a German text. But thanks anyway! :) [11:13] yeah [11:13] kd8JHC: Bye! [11:13] sipior: yeah u mean it takes more time? [11:13] Hitman32: continue, click next [11:13] theo: good luck! [11:13] i install in the CD [11:13] indus: no, i don't.

[11:14] indus: i just mentioned it. is there a point to this conversation? [11:14] when it's rest it fial [11:14] fail [11:15] hi, firefox continuously keeps segfaulting, can I get a core dump from it? (it says core dumped, but I don't know how to get one from it as i don't know where the core file is, it's the installed package) [11:15] sipior: yes, do you have any average time it takes to install to a 'modern' machine>? [11:15] Hitman32: looks like you installation cd got defect, get a new one [11:15] this's the last step i can see it in win [11:15] http://www.microsoft.com/library/media/1033/windowsxp/images/using/setup/winxp/xp-setup-5-format-progress.jpg [11:15] then it rest,, [11:15] Hitman32: either the installation cd, or your harddisk [11:16] Hitman32: mostly the cd, [11:16] Hitman32: that is hardware problem [11:16] Mqueue: how is it? Is it ok now? [11:16] how to make backup of /home in a usb drive? [11:16] is there a blue background i can get from synaptics [11:16] hardwear :S [11:16] indus: if you have an opinion, please state it. but not to me, as i am not particularly interested. the man asked if his install went too quickly. without evidence to the contrary, i don't see any reason to be overly concerned on this point. [11:16] this orange is killing me [11:16] preferably a blue / black one [11:16] no please don't say that [11:17] I'll format agin and see what will happen [11:17] Hitman32: that is my opinion, either cd or harddisk (or the interface to harddisk) has problem [11:17] it seems to only segfault when i play videos [11:18] SudoKing, pornographical videos? [11:18] no! [11:18] >_> [11:18] hmmm [11:18] I am off now [11:18] :D [11:18] any ordinary youtube video :p [11:18] SudoKing, hmm any chicks in it?

Do you have the latest plugin? [11:19] nvidia 9800gt [11:20] Mqueue: did u solve your problem yet [11:20] i'm on karmic koala, i've dist-upgraded not too long ago, so i think so... [11:21] did it work before? [11:21] SudoKing, #ubuntu+1 for Karmic questions, usually. It's still an early release, though... [11:21] SudoKing, well, maybe you should do the ole "sudo apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade" [11:21] yeah [11:21] first [11:21] PM me if you can help me out, do i need to just download driver for nvida under synaptics? [11:21] pvalley, i've ran that several times lol. last night was a linux kernel update [11:21] G-man: sure [11:22] G-man: did you check under system>admin>hardware drivers [11:22] tyty [11:22] SudoKing, hmm, are you 100% sure it isn't pr0nographical? [11:22] ... [11:22] says [11:22] lol [11:22] no proprietary drivers are in use on this system [11:22] fresh install [11:22] G-man: so u have nvidia card? [11:22] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXKXrditdvU [11:23] yes [11:23] SudoKing, look, flash is dodgy at the best of times, with Karmic you're looking at problems occuring [11:23] amen [11:23] G-man: do you see your card listed in that window? [11:23] so when it'll be stable? lol [11:23] no [11:23] G-man: can i see the output of lshw -c display [11:23] !paste | G-man [11:23] G-man: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com (or !pastebinit for CLI) | For pasting !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin Please give us the URLs for your posts! [11:24] SudoKing: why not stick with a stable system? [11:24] instead up rushing an upgrade [11:24] cuz I like teh cutting edge [11:24] SudoKing, Karmic releases sometime in mid/late October. It's sitll in alpha [11:24] do you really like it? cuz it ain't workin [11:24] for all the.. cutting. [11:24] and you're here [11:24] being CUT [11:24] ha [11:24] >_> [11:24] SudoKing, and sometimes the cutting edge slices things off... like Flash. Especially flash. [11:24] use what works dood [11:24] ^V^ [11:25] http://imagebin.org/63155 [11:25] well i'll be sure not to upgrade to Sexy Seagulls so early next time :S [11:25] there is is [11:25] SudoKing, you either want cutting edge or you want everything working. Pick one [11:26] well put [11:26] SudoKing, and, after watching that video, I suggest you watch more porn [11:26] * SudoKing isn't in to porn [11:26] of course you aren't [11:26] haha [11:26] u see the screeny [11:27] !ot | Pvalley [11:27] Pvalley, please see my private message [11:27] hi is there anyone who can help me setup samba file sharing server and client via pm?

Since samba is ridiculously easy to set up I was confused [11:33] GhostWolfy, you'll get better help if, instead of copping an attitude, you just restate and clarify your questions... [11:33] G-man, if you already have that card in ya ubuntu machine you go to system, admin then to hardware devices and select it [11:33] Madpilot, i didn't have an attitude [11:33] there is nothing in the box [11:33] G-man: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new [11:33] G-man then ya most likely have the right driver for it [11:33] G-man - you download it from the nVidia website === Wajih is now known as MaWaLe [11:34] hello, anyone using xfce here? how do i remove the "new item" icon in the desktop?

[11:38] albech: how are you playing this file? [11:38] albech: w32codecs .. just google it [11:39] just clicking on it ;) [11:39] hi there! [11:39] albech: did u try totem movie player? or rhythmbox? [11:39] hmm... other monitor still not coming on [11:39] I am having a extremely weird networking problem. The thing is, that I cannot write messages via UDP to another host in the same network. Instead I sendto()/write() returns the error: "-1 EPERM (Operation not permitted)".

[11:40] albech: its good at codec detection [11:41] UHUY: its probably the application itself [11:41] UHUY, what app? [11:41] yes [11:41] UHUY: I've never had problems with it, if that helps. [11:41] UHUY are you opening from HD or other media [11:41] i'm just using the default image viewer [11:41] opening from HD [11:42] it's approx 3x slower than if opened using WinXP [11:42] jpg file is around 1.3MB [11:42] can anyone recommend a SUPERFAST image viewer..

Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server. [11:44] how do i do that? [11:45] G-man: WHY are you talking to your self [11:45] G-man: sudo nvidia-xconfig, I'd assume [11:45] G-man: sudo nvidia-xconfig [11:45] please , does anyone know of a FREE 3-D cad design software for my ubuntu box ?? [11:45] hey [11:45] setting up Nvidia using their program and not the relevant package is a bad idea and unsupported, though, so have fun with that I guess. [11:45] help me too [11:46] whta i am looking for is something like Varicad [11:46] i have intel and i cant run blender properly [11:46] rww: iam using the proprietary drivers in Jaunty. Is not this the preferred method? [11:46] what is the relevant package? [11:46] what do i type in synaptics [11:47] for it [11:47] dfeeser: no ubuntu does not provide suport for that [11:47] aaron: is there a supported driver for OpenGL? [11:47] guys.. 'feh' is fast for image vieweing.. cheers!!! [11:47] btw can someone help me with my radeon drivers my blender3D isnt working right [11:47] UHUY, cool [11:48] can somebody please tell me what i should download [11:48] for it [11:48] what do you need G-man >? [11:48] i need the proper download for an Nvidia 9800GT [11:49] video card [11:49] my dual monitors wont work [11:49] where is apache2 source directory located by default [11:49] or do i need to download source [11:49] you don't have Nvidia installed by default ? G-man ? [11:49] i guess not [11:49] G-man: System>Administration>Hardware Drivers [11:49] i mean the other monitor is not on [11:50] it says that there are no proprietary drivers in use [11:50] follow system/administration/nvidia x server settings [11:50] when i click that it tells me this [11:50] You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server. [11:50] welcome back [11:50] G-man: turn on the propietarie drivers [11:51] yes...... you did that ? [11:51] hey [11:51] !twinview | G-man [11:51] how do i do that? [11:51] run nvidia-config as root [11:51] G-man: in System>Administration>Hardware Drivers [11:51] !netsplit [11:51] can i ask you something about my graphic card and installing ubuntu? [11:51] oh, the bot is still gone. never mind. [11:51] mati, just ask [11:51] !ask | mati [11:51] gedit is creating blah.blah~ files whenever i save. i have create backups and autosave OFF in preferences. what's happening? i had so many backup files that gedit was coming up with "unexpected error: failure" - which i can't even find anything about on google === Odo is now known as Guest8735 === faitz is now known as Guest58125 [11:52] hi btw :p [11:52] great, [11:52] uh... [11:52] thats not really helping, lol [11:52] i have a problem incompatibility between Nvidia 9600gt and my motherboard i think [11:52] where did you get your gedit ?? you wrote it yourself ?? :P:P Gothfunc === Guest8735 is now known as Odo [11:53] panv: fresh install [11:53] panv: jaunty [11:53] how do i run things as root [11:53] thats what i need to know [11:53] when i install Ubuntu or just leave the BIOS screen, then screen goes to sleep [11:53] Gothfunc, they are swap files, used if gedit crashes I suspect [11:53] G-man.. run nvidia-config as root [11:53] it will modify your xconfiguration file [11:53] save it, and restart x [11:53] yes thats what im asking [11:54] how do i do that [11:54] Pvalley: when i close gedit they remain [11:54] my question is if i install Ubuntu with another graphic card and then change to my Nvidia 9600gt [11:54] after the installation [11:54] G-man, open a terminal, type "sudo nvidia-config" [11:54] mati: thats what i had to do - install with motherboard card, then place 7300GT in [11:54] Pvalley: normally when you turn backups and autosave off these files go away completely [11:54] Gothfunc, sorry, I can't really help, because I use a real editor; vim. But I'm sure it's a swap problem, google that puppy [11:54] Pvalley: is that posible with redaon intel [11:54] reconfigure drivers from scratch [11:54] that is invalid [11:55] aaron113, no [11:55] Gothfunc: you can always reset the app removing ~/.gnome2/gedit [11:55] still do not have direct rendering, but it works! [11:55] where is the src directory for apache2 located on ubuntu 9.04 [11:55] Pvalley: thanks anyway. google is useless in this case :o [11:55] !who | G-man [11:55] sudo [11:55] G-man: sudo [11:55] will run as root [11:55] !gksudo | Pvalley [11:55] Pvalley: ummm how do you configure redon intel [11:55] u/32 [11:55] er [11:55] u don't have sudo installed maybe.. [11:56] panv: everyone has it [11:56] apt-get install sudo [11:56] thank you aaron113 [11:56] panv: sudo is always installed [11:56] haha [11:56] G-man: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [11:56] Pvalley: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [11:57] Dahito: just tried that. none of my settings seemed to be in the dir anyway. i guess i'll try to find the real settings dir and rm that [11:57] it says that im nto using the driver right... now its telling me to edit my x configuration file ( just run " nvidia-xconfig" as root) and restart the X server. [11:58] dfeeser: but why you had to do this? [11:58] erUSUL, lol thanks a lot. Get prepared to be shocked - I just use su! [11:58] Gothfunc: strange... try find .|grep -i gedit [11:58] the same problem? [11:58] OMG this is driving me nuts [11:58] i know its easy [11:58] mati: blank screen during install when the card was inserted [11:58] but all these bots dont help [11:59] Pvalley: well that's your problem ;P but what you advise to others is the channel's problem XD [11:59] Dahito: aha, it's in .gconf [11:59] erUSUL, in this case it would make no difference [11:59] somebody please help me [12:00] reply me on private G-man [12:00] Pvalley: maybe not but anyway is just a good practice to not use sudo with graphic apps [12:00] I cannot enable desktop effects via the display settings box (it checks for drivers, enables them for a second and falls back to metacity). It works fine running compliz --replace so this isn't hardware related (IMO). I've had a problem for ages and would love to fix it once and for all. [12:01] G-man: iam trying to [12:01] G-man: can you help me too? [12:01] hello everyone, is there any reason why I can't boot from an external hdd that has ubuntu installed on it with the usual procedure? (ubuntu 9.04 x86) [12:02] the bios gives an error of "no operating system found", but grub is installed on the mbr of the external drive and should.. appear [12:02] erUSUL, lol I'm sure he cares [12:02] zmotok: this might happen when the usb is not mounted [12:02] indus, sudo is always installed on ubuntu. but not always installed on debian...... are you sure all the people here are running ubuntu ?? [12:03] Dahito: rmed all prefs to do with gedit from my home dir and my settings are still there when i load gedit [12:03] :s [12:03] does anyone have any idea how i can figure out why i can't sftp to my server, although i can ssh to it with no problems and (i believe) i have disabled the firewall? [12:03] panv: well, its a reasonable assumption, this is ubuntu support not debian [12:03] indus: "mounted" ? nothing is mounted before the kernel starts [12:03] Gothfunc: did you use gconf-editor? [12:03] everyone stop and do a "lsb_release -a"! You could be in the wrong channel! [12:03] zmotok: it is after grub i believe [12:04] Dahito: no :p i'll restore the files and do that [12:04] hrm, is there a command like lspci or lsusb for ata devices? [12:04] zmotok:ill rephrase it, the usb device drivers are not loaded into the kernel [12:04] zmotok: so it cant read from the device [12:04] indus: _grub_ doesn't appear [12:04] zmotok: ya is power on? [12:04] indus: of course [12:05] zmotok: there is a usb_device module which fails to load sometimes [12:05] Gothfunc: hope it works.. :) ... gconf is like microsoft register.. [12:05] zmotok: so if grub is installed to that device, how will it load [12:05] LogicFan: fdisk -l [12:05] Gothfunc: i prefer old school config.. [12:05] zmotok: cant explain well iam no expert [12:05] Dahito: no need for that kind of language ;)# [12:05] indus: no problem [12:06] zmotok: i have seen people having issues with usb storage [12:06] how do i search for a folder's path using the terminal? [12:06] LogicFan, you might want to look at lshw [12:06] Dahito: the backup setting was checked in gconf but not gedit. weird. thanks a lot man :)# === anthony is now known as Guest47715 [12:07] Gothfunc: no prob ;) === Guest47715 is now known as G-man [12:07] hmm [12:07] now its low graphics mode bro [12:07] lol [12:07] who are you talking to [12:07] LogicFan, specifically "lshw -C disk" [12:07] write his/her name in your messages to highlight the message for that user [12:08] LogicFan: there is also the gtk version "lshw-gtk" [12:09] thnx [12:09] does anyone know how to access .jpeg files over the internet [12:10] wait what? [12:10] aaron111: what do you mean? [12:10] aaron111, uh yeah === Zelfje2 is now known as Zelfje [12:10] aaron111, http://your.domain.com/myJpg.jpg [12:10] BOOM! [12:10] instant jpg [12:10] Dahito: no, it's not fixed, i did sudo gconf-editor by mistake. bleh :/ [12:11] Gothfunc: what's the error? does it crash ? [12:12] Pvalley: no i meant im hacking onto my systers account because she was talking to her boyfriend and i want to see her "cd /home/aimeegrace/Pictures" when i hit DIR it shows some jpeg images i want to see them using fspot [12:12] heh [12:12] do you know how to do it [12:13] Hi im having issues with my sound on my thin client logged into my Ubuntu LTSP server... anyone any ideas why the sound works then after a few use's it stops working? Ubuntu 9.04 [12:13] thanks everyone [12:13] garymc: do you know which sound card [12:14] im using a sony Viao as a thin client [12:14] aaron111: just make a copy then.. or symlink [12:14] *Vaio [12:14] aaron111: maybe you have to deal with permission.. [12:14] ciao [12:14] I have the base system ready, want to install just the basic window manager component, how ? [12:14] Dahito: no. initially i was getting the error "unexpected error: failure" (hooray!) then i realised looking at the hidden files that there were lots of ~ files all generated from the same file, most prefixed with a letter of the alphabet. i deleted them and it no longer gave the error, but every time i save it creates a new ~ file [12:15] I have the base system ready, want to install just the basic window manager component, how ? [12:15] Dahito: the error triggered when i tried to save [12:15] aaron111: you're in the wrong place - what you're talking about is technically illegal in most countries [12:15] (and therefore is not allowed in here) [12:15] Dahito: it's like my gedit is a total fascist! [12:17] How do I install just the basic Xwindow into my base system, and then choose panels by myself ? [12:17] Gothfunc: dont know.. the ~ are only backup.. doesn't harm [12:18] any ideas why sftp would just say "Connection closed" and exit when i type in my (correct) password? [12:18] Dahito: it's increasing the size of my web application by 27 times, and also when it runs out of letters of the alphabet to prefix with, it generates an error i can't even find on google, and stops me saving... seems like it does harm :P [12:18] nandu: install the `xorg` package [12:19] helo === matteo is now known as Guest30126 [12:20] Gothfunc: uuhmm.. so you tried to disable backup? and didn't work? [12:20] Dahito: weird though, i've used gedit on a million machines and it's never done this. [12:20] Dahito: correct. i'm looking at the prefs and gconf now. they both show backup is OFF [12:20] Gothfunc: anyway for programming i don't think it's the better editor.. [12:20] how do you open a jpg file with a terminal i know you can open txt files using gedit but what about jpg im using gnome terminal and has Ubuntu 9.04 [12:20] Dahito: web programming is very light. i find eclipse is just too much for my needs [12:21] rww: Will not it be the same as installing the xfce desktop ? I installed the base system so that I get to customize everything ?? [12:21] hi [12:21] hy [12:22] nandu: The xorg package installs the basic Xorg system, and does not include a window manager. It also doesn't include xfce. [12:22] rww, yes [12:23] Dahito: show me another lightweight editor which has a file explorer that can perform file operations and i'll use that instead :) [12:23] Gothfunc: mistery of computer science :S.. mine works..with backup disabled.. [12:23] Dahito: yeah i've had it work on other machines too. grr. i guess i just give up :s [12:23] Gothfunc: actually for web dev i use eclipse.. :P .. [12:24] is there an easy-to-use solution for keeping some of my data encrypted in a folder? I would like something like ecryptfs-utils, but i don't want to mount it when i log in. i want to click on an icon, i want to enter always the password, and then i would like to get the mounted folder, and an umount icon. and all of this stuff as regular user [12:24] ok (sorry if i'm being irritating but this is slightly different again).. any ideas why i can sftp root@mydomain.com but not sftp myuser@mydomain.com ? [12:24] i mean, i don't want it to be automounted when i log in [12:24] Dahito: it would be awesome if there was a really light version of eclipse [12:24] Gothfunc: kate? [12:25] Dahito: looking [12:25] Gothfunc: it's qt for kde but is good.. [12:26] amagee: can you log in normally using ssh? [12:26] sipior: yes === dab is now known as Guest30117 [12:26] amagee: try adding the -v switch, and seeing what sftp reports. [12:27] in a terminal, how do i do to see if a folder named foo exists in my ubuntu machine? [12:27] Gothfunc: kate it's not a light eclipse.. it's like the gedit of the KDE [12:27] in a terminal, what do i do to see if a folder named foo exists in my ubuntu machine? [12:27] jrivera: you mean in a script? or are you talking bash VERY basics? [12:28] Gothfunc: anyway.. eclipse is huge but have so many features... you can do anything.. :) [12:28] bash basics [12:28] sipior: http://dpaste.com/91381/ [12:28] jrivera: ls /path/to/whatever is one way to see what files/dirs exist [12:28] jrivera: you might want to spend an hr reading a few bash tutorials. [12:29] jrivera: find / -type d -name '*foo*' [12:29] !cli > jrivera [12:29] jrivera, please see my private message [12:29] thanks!!! [12:30] Dahito: i find things go wrong randomly with eclipse for me, especially when it gets updated. [12:30] amagee: what's your default shell upon login to that system? [12:30] Dahito: it's really nicely coded but still a beast [12:30] sipior: bash [12:30] Can Anybody please help me get this darn video card working properly ? [12:30] sipior: also, it was working till fairly recently.. i'm not sure what i've done except install flash media server :S [12:31] hello, can someone help my with an Ubuntu Studio + Blender install/uninstall related problem? [12:31] my -> me [12:31] amagee: the target machine also runs ubuntu? [12:31] sipior: yeah [12:32] Gothfunc: what language do you use? ... i use aptana anyway.. http://aptana.com [12:32] amagee: on the remote machine, what are the permissions for /dev/null? [12:33] sipior: crw------- [12:33] amagee: try "sudo chmod 777 /dev/null", and try sftp again. [12:33] amagee: or 666, really [12:33] wow, that worked [12:33] thanks :D [12:33] (care to explain?) [12:34] amagee: sftp wants to write to /dev/null. that explains why root could use sftp, but your login couldn't. [12:34] By default my folders show hidden-files and hidden-folders , How do i disable that ? [12:34] sipior: what would have changed that? it was working before.. [12:35] and why does it want to write to /dev/null [12:35] amagee: (i don't know why sftp desperately needs to write to /dev/null :-) [12:35] hehe ok [12:35] Lunixed: if you mean in nautilus (file browser), hit CTRL+H [12:35] clearscreen, Everytime i dont want to do ctrl+H [12:35] I want a permanent soluntio [12:35] if you do it once, it should remain disabled until you hit ctrl+h again [12:35] at least that is what it does for me :) [12:36] No everytime i see those flders :( [12:36] when you install, there are times that apt-get would recommend you additional packages right? can i ignore those additional packages? [12:36] Lunixed: you can try Edit->Preferences and disable 'Show hidden and backup files' [12:37] I am having trouble with an external HD, can someone help? http://paste.ubuntu.com/267878/ [12:37] Dahito: yeah aptana's what i used. i use cakephp [12:37] whose edit clearscreen ? [12:37] rww: I installed the package, My xorg.conf is empty currently, I have a working xorg.conf from xubuntu into other partition, should I copy it and run startx ?

Xorg should autodetect and run fine with a blank xorg.conf, but if you have stuff you want it to use, go ahead. [12:41] G-man: do you have the Nvidia X Server Settings installed ? [12:41] let me check [12:41] yes [12:41] but when i try to use it [12:41] Are you using Twinview [12:42] it gives me a boxYou do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server.

[12:44] when you install, there are times that apt-get would recommend you additional packages right? can i ignore those additional packages? [12:44] !pulseaudio [12:44] PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions [12:44] clearscreen: no the ubuntu-devs the Xorg devs disabled it [12:44] !esd [12:44] esd is the enlightened sound deamon.

[12:46] kk [12:47] says mesa-utils already latest new version [12:47] that's good :) [12:47] good... [12:47] but couldnt find [12:47] RGB GLX visual [12:47] so the red green blue [12:47] is what im missing [12:47] lol [12:47] g-man: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [12:48] g-man: what is the exact output of "glxinfo | grep direct"? [12:48] i am installing ubuntu on my system - it is asking for partition type - primary and logical - which one should i choose? [12:49] Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". [12:49] Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0" [12:49] rsv: one sec [12:49] eading package lists...

(1:50 PM, havent slept last night) [12:50] rsv: tell Ubuquity to use the whole hard disk [12:50] rsv: how many partitions do you currently have in use? [12:51] obviously i had 3 partitions in which /boot, fedora and swap parition [12:51] i want to delete all of them and create afresh for ubuntu [12:51] Anybody have advice on this : http://paste.ubuntu.com/267878/ [12:51] clearscreen> Callum_: more coffee! (1:50 PM, havent slept last night) <--- its been exam week at school all week, just finished it... [12:51] clearscreen: check PM [12:51] rsv: tell Ubuquity to use the whole hard disk [12:51] g-man: can you pastebin (http://paste.ubuntu.com) the contents of /etc/X11/xorg.conf? [12:51] dont you think i need a swap partition? [12:52] i want a swap partition of 1 GB [12:52] rsv: let Ubuntu configure your hard disks [12:52] rsv: if you have 1G+ ram you dont need it but it helps [12:52] when i type that in terminal , it says no such file or dir [12:52] rsv: and you can use file as swap [12:52] what u just wanted a paste of [12:52] rsv: was that obvious? at any rate, if you plan on installing ubuntu in place of fedora, you won't require a logical partition (needed only if you plan on having five or more disk partitions). [12:52] how do i tell ubuntu to allocate 1g as swap [12:53] rsv: if you don't know how to partition Linux drives, you'd better let Ubuntu do it for you [12:53] Callum_: it's good to learn at some point. [12:53] rsv: the partitioner tool have a customized layout featutre you can partition however you want. [12:53] rsv: make swap partition or after installation define swap file [12:53] Hello, is there anybody here that could help me design a smb.conf? (#samba channel is quite dead) [12:53] sipior: fair enough [12:53] rsv: or use the live cd and gparted to lay them out then tell the installer what to use. [12:54] wow, its busy in here [12:54] Have anyone seen this problem before, If I frequently fast switch between TTY and F7(X-Window) then my system hangs, giving blank screen ? [12:54] is there a hotkey to make the window roll up? [12:54] eueu: its a good idea to use the one Samba creates as a base, and just modify it yourself [12:54] what is primary partition and logical partition? [12:54] which one should i choose [12:54] nandu: "don't do that, then" :-) [12:55] sipior: ok, but you mean it happens (normal) ? [12:55] You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server. thats the error message i get, when i try to run x server [12:55] for nvidia [12:55] and i keep doing that [12:55] nandu: i've never seen that myself. the system locks up? or can you still log in remotely? [12:56] over and over, but it does nothing [12:56] rsv: if you dont know such terms its a VERY good idea to read up on partitioning drives..or just let the installer do it. [12:56] Callum_, actually I need to design one for a very special purpose, which is I have a laptop of which the graphics card died and I would like all files to be recoverable. So I am creating an environment in a virtual machine to create a LiveCD that would include a script that mounts automatically all ntfs/fat partitions, and I would like Samba to share / to local networks without restriction [12:56] rsv: if you dont need more then 4 parittions - you can use all primaries [12:56] Hai guys...I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 on my laptop and I'm really enjoying it, except for one problem- I'm getting USB 1.1 transfer speeds when I know my machine can handle usb 2.0. (I switched from Vista which had very fast transfer speeds) [12:56] rsv: You can also share your swap partition with your other linux installation if it has one. [12:56] Callum_, http://vim.pastey.net/124886 is my try [12:57] rsv: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_partitioning [12:57] sipior: No, the system does'nt even responds to numlock, ctrl+Alt+del, Ctrl+Alt+<- or anything [12:57] sipior: I haven't tried remote login [12:57] Trying sudo rmmod ehci_hcd/sudo modprobe ehchi_hcd does nothing. === root is now known as Kev2 [12:58] eueu: why do you have readonly set if you want the share to have unrestricted access? [12:58] Callum_, I would like only to retrieve the files on the hard disk [12:59] hmm === Guest79257 is now known as dab === patailama_ is now known as patailama [12:59] does it seem to you that this config would work as I intend? I have no machine to test it === dab is now known as Guest81439 [12:59] eueu: you can ssh into the machines to configure Samba without creating your own LiveCD [13:00] Callum_, other computers could run Windows [13:00] what is the name for xfcewindow manager in apt-get install ? [13:00] (it is not for my own usage that I would like to create this livecd [13:00] eueu: http://www.putty.org/ [13:00] nandu: xubuntu-desktop [13:00] nandu: xubuntu-desktop will get you the full desktop enviornment [13:01] I need help setup a openvpn client on 9.04. I've installed gadmin gtk client and it must have a tar.gz package... [13:01] hey all, updates today seem to have broken my symlink for firefox 3.5, i cannot use Gnome-Do to launch it anymore, how can i replace it? [13:01] Anyone have an idea for my issue? ;_; [13:01] nandu: xfce4 will give you the bear minimum [13:01] b3rz3rk3r: check i there is a symlink [13:01] i given primary for /boot and logical or / and swap. is it okay? [13:01] how i can download all of this files "http://urt.unfoog.de/q3ut4/" with wget ? help me please [13:01] if [13:01] ikonia: I dont want the full desktop, just want some basic components ? [13:01] nandu: xubuntu-desktop will give you apps too [13:01] rsv: primary/logical partitions don't matter [13:01] hi @ll [13:02] nandu: search for xfce to see the individual components [13:02] lol [13:02] <_grepper> OK. I screwed up and changed the shell entry in /etc/passwd to a shell that doesn't (still) exist. Is there a way to log in ignoring the shell entry? [13:02] okay, then why are they in the first place [13:02] Mohammad[B]: thers some gui front ends to wget. (and no i dont use it enogh to rember the command line options) [13:02] nandu: sudo apt-get install xfce4 [13:02] rsv: that's a different discussion, just rest easy that it doesnt matter any more [13:02] okay [13:02] ikonia, yeah there is, i created it with: "sudo rm /usr/bin/firefox && sudo ln -s /usr/bin/firefox-3.5 /usr/bin/firefox" before. can i just do this again? [13:02] rsv: you can use primary for all if you wanted. [13:02] Which openvpn client to use in ubuntu? [13:03] okay, thanks my installation has started [13:03] b3rz3rk3r: you can do it as many times as you want, but if there is already a symlink there, that's not your problem [13:03] Callum_, actually my target is people that do not use much their computers. They have a computer that they cannot drive blind and the screen of which is not working. They have a Windows computer. With a liveCD they would be able to have a share to recover all files without any manipulation to do and nothing to install [13:03] eueu: what's the ubuntu support question here ? [13:03] eueu: once the settings are saved onto the smb.conf every time the PC starts up the share will also start as well [13:04] b3rz3rk3r: Go back to /usr/bin/firefox-3.0 ? [13:04] mobi-sheep: why - he's missing a symlink, why does he need to go back to firefox 3 ? [13:04] Callum_, yes. But that is the purpose of the LiveCD I try to create. [13:04] eueu: what is the ubuntu support question you have ? [13:04] ?/ [13:04] ? [13:05] ikonia, mobi-sheep, i have 3 in there. Firefox, firefox-3.0 and firefox-3.5 [13:05] 中文测试 [13:05] !cn | wqj [13:05] wqj: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [13:05] wqj: this channel is english only please [13:05] b3rz3rk3r: link to what you want === Nightw0lf is now known as Nightwolf [13:05] eueu: its more hassle to create your own liveCD, two minutes with the PC and the share will be up, without inconveniencing yourself with creating and burning the Live CD [13:05] ikonia, I asked for help about a samba thing because the #samba channel is dead and I know that many ubuntu users are able to help me. [13:05] anyone using last.fm client with musictracker? [13:06] eueu: samba config queston really belong in #sabma unless they are specific to ubuntu [13:06] #samba sorry [13:06] Callum_: unetbootin :P [13:06] then sorry, ikonia [13:06] ikonia, gnome-do still wont locate it though? know a way round this? [13:06] eueu: not a problem [13:06] b3rz3rk3r: locate what ? [13:06] how can i reduce the size of an image in ubuntu [13:06] clearscreen: the way he is doing it is stupid =P [13:07] ActionParsnip: I need physical memory, I have plenty hdd space.. ? should I install xfce ? [13:07] eueu: You check out !samba ? Read up on Ubuntu Community on Samba [13:07] nic1: with gimp ? [13:07] nic1: using a tool like gimp reduce the quality or increase the compression [13:07] like we do by opening with microsoft paint in windows? [13:07] Callum_: havent been following the conversation, just saying that I never have to burn a CD these days because of unetbootin :) [13:07] ikonia, if i type "fire" into gnome-do it normally locates the firefox installation and launches it for me [13:07] ActionParsnip: I mean xfce4 [13:07] guys, i forgot the password i gave during installation, how do i recover? [13:07] i want to reduce size [13:07] nic1: applications -> graphics -> gimp [13:07] nic1: you can use gimp to save it as a different format (jpg for example) [13:07] ikonia, with todays updates, it no longer does [13:07] gimp is not doing tat [13:07] nic1: save it as a different format (preferably jpeg) [13:07] i have 2.4 MB image [13:07] ikonia, it was a firefox 3.5 update today, taking it to 3.5.4 i think [13:07] nic1: we already told you to use gimp. Image>scale image [13:08] can't i get tat to kb? [13:08] b3rz3rk3r: have you checked your symlinks to see if they exist [13:08] nic1: also save as jpeg reduce quality [13:08] when i do ls -l /home ; i see that it has created an user called ubuntu [13:08] i specified something else [13:08] ikonia, yes, they are there, and i have just removed and created again to make sure [13:08] b3rz3rk3r: show me the output of ls -la /usr/bin/firefox please [13:09] what's the version of pidgin in jaunty? i only currently have intrepid. can't i get the latest version of pidgin?

[13:32] JFlash: no. [13:32] no, JFlash [13:32] JFlash, no [13:32] thanks [13:32] JFlash: how could it. :) [13:32] also i have a turion x2 [13:32] more than enough, JFlash [13:32] JFlash: so does my old laptop. :) works good. [13:32] should I run ubuntu 64x? [13:32] JFlash: whatever you want [13:32] JFlash: in mot sure thats a 64bit cpu or not. [13:32] pretty sure it is, Dr_Willis [13:33] i think the X2 series is all 64bit? [13:33] it's 64 bit [13:33] JFlash: yup, turion is 64 bit [13:33] Callum_: well my old one -- i think was not.. but that was 3+ yrs ago. [13:33] JFlash: yes, use 64 bit ubuntu [13:33] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMD_Turion <--- yes, all Turions are 64-bit [13:33] there was no turion x2 3 years ago :P [13:33] sorry some of you know the command to join e channel? thank you [13:34] I recall getting my old laptop just as the turions were comming out (i think?) it had so many linux issues at the time.. it was scary. [13:34] newill: /join [13:34] newill: logical eh? :) [13:34] Hi guys, I installed Ubuntu on my laptop about 3 weeks ago and everything is going great, except my usb speeds D= they appear to be 1.0 Speeds maxing out at 6Mb/s. I know I can get much faster since I switched from Vista and the speeds were excellent. I've read this has something to do with ehci_hcd, any ideas? [13:34] i installed ubuntu when i reboot the system i get the grub prompt; does ubuntu install a bootloader by default? [13:34] clearscreen u still there, ? [13:34] g-man: unless I'm hugely mistaken (anyone feel free to correct me on this), your nvidia driver is being loaded correctly (although something does seem to go wrong at loading the glx extension)... i think your main problem is just an incorrect xorg configuration, there is just one modeline which is 640x480 [13:34] sudo rmmod ehci_hcd and sudo modprobe ehci_hcd do nothing. [13:34] rsv: yes, it has to [13:34] please tell me i dont need to burn ubuntu to a disc to install it [13:34] Can anyone help me with some DNS troubles i seem to be having? [13:34] but what happened? why it not installed in my case [13:35] yes [13:35] g-man: I think there is a GUI for manually changing your resolution for nvidia cards, but I can't remember what it was (I dont have an nvidia card myself) .. I'm sure someone here does know what it is called [13:35] JFlash: i use unetbootin and make bootalbe flash drives.. to install from [13:35] i mean, in a dual boot setup [13:35] GUI utility** [13:35] rsv: if you had a Windows bootloader there before, it will give you the option to chainload NTLDR to boot Windows [13:35] after /join what I should write? [13:35] JFlash, you can use a USB, thats the best way imo as its much faster [13:35] JFlash: you need to boot ubuntu some how to install it.. cd, or flash, or some other way [13:35] enga tios me voy a papear [13:35] newill: the channel [13:35] sryyy [13:35] /join #ubuntu [13:35] thanks guys [13:35] wrong chanel xd [13:35] newill: #channelname [13:35] That's just it, i was told by somebody earliler, to go in as admin, then restart, and try to open x control [13:36] newill: you might want to track down some irc basics tutorials./guides. [13:36] When i did that it went into like reduced mode.. [13:36] before it was 1600*1200 [13:36] But I'm just trying to get the driver to load, that way i can run both monitors [13:36] i dont have a windows boot loader; i only use linux [13:36] Only my primary was/is working atm [13:36] g-man: X server is using failsafe vesa configuration because of misconfigured X server [13:36] so why ubunti not installed in my case [13:36] thanks a lot :) [13:36] what should i do [13:37] i'm having problems with flash on ubuntu, and i think it's something to do with the fact that it's 64-bit. In windows, 64-bit browsers don't support flash. How can i get flash to work on firefox? [13:37] rsv: it will overwrite the MBR and Ubuntu will install its own copy of grub [13:37] No one knows how to make usb use 2.0 speeds? D= [13:37] I'm just trying to get it to work [13:37] I know its possible [13:37] is there a better compression format than "AVI"? I'm trying to record files but it takes F-O-R-E-V-E-R to compress files [13:37] 2.0 speeds work fine with me [13:37] because if dual monitored with xubuntu in the past [13:37] right out of the box [13:37] hello everyone: I'm trying to get a key for the Pidgin PPA from keyserver.ubuntu.com. TCP is ok - I can connect via Telnet, but apt-key says the keyserver times out. [13:37] GuidMorrow: video encoding in general takes a long time [13:37] GuidMorrow: avi is a container.. it can contain video of any of several DOZEN codec types. [13:37] 9.04? [13:37] im just new and i forgot how to get it to work [13:38] Yup, Jaunty. [13:38] GuidMorrow: and compressing most video files - via zip/rar/whatver is not going to gain much if anything [13:38] =/ My system is 64 bit, would that make a difference? [13:38] no, YukiNagatoX [13:38] Dr_Willis: I don't think that's what he's talking about [13:38] Pici, how do I make firefox 3.5 default? just rename to /usr/bin/firefox ? [13:39] what do I need to do to compress it to MKV *(from MJPEG video/PCM audio) [13:39] unless the driver itself has problems [13:39] @GuidMorrow - compressing always takes a long time. BTW, AVI is not a compression format but a container - a Codec, such as FLV, XVID etc is what actually does the compression [13:39] Humm nope, usb 2.0 works fine on my 64bit desktop. Although it's debian, it's all the same. [13:39] @GuidMorrow - VLC should do the job [13:39] Can anyone help me with some DNS troubles i seem to be having? === sleepy_cat is now known as c_nick [13:39] Yes. Someone can. [13:40] GuidMorrow: you are using the term 'compress' wrong.. You mean 'reencode' to mkv [13:40] wow, to be honest I can't take much more of helping newbies, how do you guys do it day in day out [13:40] So what should I do? =/ This seems to be a common issue from what google brings up. [13:40] GuidMorrow: ffmpeg/mencoder can reencode video to other formats. [13:40] zxd: you can manually change the symlink in /usr/bin, but the easiest way is to System -> Preferences -> Preferred Applications and change firefox to firefox-3.5 [13:40] what format setting should I use to encode into MKV [13:40] GuidMorrow: and there are front ends to those tools. winff avidumix and others [13:40] I'm using avidemux [13:40] GuidMorrow: As Callum_ quite rightly said, video encoding is very intensive, power-consuming, anda w time-consuming. you can get faster speeds with higher specs. I can see you quartering the time it takes with a 2GB 4870X2, 16G ram, and a bunch of quad-core's overclocked to 4GHz :D [13:40] okay [13:40] YukiNagatoX, no idea, sorry, just keep searching I guess, I'm sure a fix is SOMEWHERE [13:40] so ur gone? [13:40] is that it [13:41] jeese [13:41] Mmmhmm, I recommend you look up specific help for the system you're using if it's not home-made (and if it is, the motherboard you're using).

[13:41] You might have more luck like tha YukiNagatoX. [13:41] i'm having problems with flash on ubuntu, and i think it's something to do with the fact that it's 64-bit. In windows, 64-bit browsers don't support flash. How can i get flash to work on firefox? [13:41] am i the only one mysql.com doesn't resolve to? [13:41] lightpriest_: yup [13:41] The motherboard isn't the issue, it worked with Vista- however I will check some of the BIOS settings...maybe there is an issue. [13:42] bahh [13:42] lightpriest_, nope, doesn't work here either [13:42] Same here. [13:42] hello everyone: I'm trying to get a key for the Pidgin PPA from keyserver.ubuntu.com.

[13:46] GuidMorrow: it's an OMG anagram [13:46] mp4 lavc - vorbis audio [13:47] @GuidMorrow: OGM is an ogg wrapper around a DirectShow stream -- no longer used [13:48] Q: I'm trying to get a key for the Pidgin PPA from keyserver.ubuntu.com. apt-key says the keyserver times out, but I can connect via Telnet to port 11371.

[13:49] i'm trying to retrieve the key from pidgin-developer but it just times out [13:50] @dsdeiz: same here. Can you telnet to the keyserver, port 11371? [13:50] dsdeiz: The keyserver may be experiencing issues, this happens from time to time. You may just need to try later. [13:50] arielCo, telnet 91.189.94.173 11371 just times out for me too [13:50] theoros:i think its just just to show off, because you can install it from a USB and you cant do it with neither vista/win 7 nor big majority linux distros [13:50] arielCo, cancel that.. just worked [13:50] :p [13:50] oh, I can telnet after some time - takes about 15 secs to connect [13:50] ok, going NOW [13:51] arielCo, prob just heavy traffic [13:51] arielCo: you trying again? [13:51] yup - no dice yet [13:51] telnet works, apt-key still waiting [13:52] no reply on #pigin =/ [13:52] #pidgin [13:52] can I use MPEG-4/AC3 as a format for saving MP4 files [13:53] ddelgaudio: i don't see why that means it's an IMG and not an ISO. i'm aware you can install it from a USB [13:53] arielCo: Its not pidgin's server, it belongs to Canonical. [13:53] theoros: i mean, it's just marketing [13:53] theoros: theres nothing about usability or better technology as i see... [13:54] just to show that you can do it from an USB [13:54] @Pici: yup, I know - I just wanted to confirm if the problem was particular to pidgin key (dunno) [13:54] ddelgaudio: how does being an IMG give you marketing? i don't get it [13:55] MP4 is slightly faster than the AVI container I was using [13:55] ddelgaudio: One reason USB installs are good is that you won't waste one-time-use media on an install disc. Another is that you don't need a CD-burner, only a cheap usb memory stick. [13:55] although ... what's the file extension, MP4 or AVI? [13:56] AE....................... [13:56] ddelgaudio, its also faster to read from a USB than a CD, which makes installs and bootups quicker [13:56] theoros: i though that you main question was about the USB [13:56] no, it's not [13:56] my question is why IMG instead of ISO [13:56] is there a TrID program for Ubuntu [13:56] theoros: sorry, i misunderstood you [13:57] is it possible to convert a game from windows to linux? [13:57] coilette yes, if you can port the code yourself. Otherwise, no.

[13:57] b3rz3rk3r: UNR is offered as IMG, is it not? [13:58] running? I didn't see any questions about running windows games on linux [13:58] couldnt one just decompile, and do a rebuild? [13:58] coilette of course not [13:58] theoros: actually, i recently downloaded it with an iso immage [13:58] *image [13:58] theoros, i dont use it, so i donrt know, but all ubuntu distros come as ISO's so id imagine that would too [13:58] b3rz3rk3r: There are .imgs at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GettingUbuntu. theoros: A USB installer needs to be slightly different from a CD installer to handle drive assignment on boot [13:58] there is a whole help.ubuntu.com page on it: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromImgFiles [13:59] whats the fastest win emulator? [13:59] qwyeth: different in a way which means you can't use an ISO? [13:59] if it comes as an ISO, i don't see how your point is relevant [13:59] kkokoii [13:59] coilette wine. But if I was you I'd dual boot for games [14:00] EF_codd thank for all the help.. and i will next install, dont want to change my partitions yet [14:00] aeeeeeeeeeeeeee........................................ [14:01] theoros: there is a tool called unetbootin that will automatically change a linux installer ISO into a usable USB image [14:01] hula [14:01] mUaNiZ: falae [14:01] coilette I'll always be here for you [14:01] always [14:01] mUaNiZ: ahaha [14:01] qwyeth, theoros the official download page just gives ISO's.. ? where are you seeing IMG's? [14:01] Hi! I'm going to partition my SD card using LVM - but the disk I'm going to repartiton currently does not have *any* partitions, when viewed with fdisk (/dev/mmcblk0). The SD card came with a cell phone, as is working as vfat storage... is this normal? How can it not have a single partition? [14:01] I just installed Ibex and I can not access my folders, help? [14:02] Ileden have you mounted it? [14:02] Ileden or tried to? [14:02] b3rz3rk3r: do you agree that https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromImgFiles states it comes as both IMG and ISO? [14:02] I have a huge swap file containing useless stuff. Is there a way to tell Linux that I want to clear the swap? [14:03] I have enough internal memory. It's just that I let a run-away program run a bit too long. [14:03] EF_Codd: yes. It mounts quite ok with vfat. It contains no relevant data and I'm ready wipe it with the repartitioning, but I was just surprised to see a disk without partitions... [14:04] EF_Codd: the unexpected situation sort-of triggered by internal debugger :) [14:04] b3rz3rk3r: secondly, http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloading?release=unr-newest&mirror=http://ubuntu.lagis.at/releases/&arch=i386 [14:04] is there video/voice chat support in pidgin on Ubuntu 9.04 ? [14:04] IMG file, right there. [14:04] theoros, yup, it says that, but i can only find ISO's on the official download page. Do you want an IMG specifically, or are you just wondering why there arent any? [14:04] all the things you are saying about USB booting is ignoring the tool unetbootin [14:04] !ot | mUaNiZ [14:04] mUaNiZ: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [14:04] i'm not sure why people don't understand my question. [14:04] Maybe there's something about partitionin I don't understand. I always thought a disk has to have at least one partition to contain any file system... [14:05] b3rz3rk3r: it comes as an IMG, but it also comes as an ISO. it seems that UNR comes as IMG, at least predominantly, and i'm asking why is IMG used instead of just ISO across the board? [14:05] Ileden well it does have a partition if you mounted it [14:05] theoros, because you dont "burn" an image, because that "img" is 1gig [14:05] what. [14:06] theoros, its made to be written to a usb stick [14:06] theoros, thats a good question. ISO is the std afaik. [14:06] theoros, usb stick isnt as iso fs [14:06] deany: i can make an ISO of a DVD and it'll be 2 GB. [14:06] *an [14:06] deany, just you can still put ISO's on a flash card/USB stick [14:06] how does ISO have any filesystem specifics? [14:06] b3rz3rk3r, I know, but thats not the topic here.. === anthony is now known as G-man [14:06] Ileden try /dev/mmcblk with fdisk [14:07] i find it highly doubtful that it's called an IMG because you "don't 'burn' an IMG since it's 1 GB" [14:07] Ileden which you probably already have [14:07] theoros, the UNR is an img, and you need to write it to a usb stick... [14:07] is there video/voice chat support in pidgin on Ubuntu 9.04 ? [14:07] deany: you have not understood my question, please stop highlighting me [14:07] Okay... guys so i went back to synaptics, and deleted everything that had to do with nvidia, is there any way i can just get my 9800gt to work [14:07] theoros, that, or get an iso of regular ubuntu and make one with unetbootin [14:07] What command do I use to reinstall Gnome Desktop in terminal? [14:07] deany: please stop highlighting me [14:07] EF_Codd: "fdisk /dev/mmcblk0" displays no partitons (using command p show all the general information, but then an empty list of paritions) [14:07] theoros, im not highlighting you, thats your chat. I`m takling to YOU so i`m putting your name before my text.... [14:07] guys what is the best visio alternative for linux? I want to draw network diagrams [14:07] Ileden yes, try "fdisk /dev/mmblk" [14:08] deany: oh so now you're arguing over semantics? /ignore it is. [14:08] xover when you find it tell me. And I've been using linux for 12 years :) [14:08] whatever. [14:08] so does anyone who actually understands my question have a reasonable answer? [14:08] b3rz3rk3r: The Netbook Remix edition is a .img because most netbooks don't have an optical drive. [14:08] Can i get some help with getting my drivers to get recognized [14:08] EF_Codd: No /dev/mmblk [14:09] qwyeth: you could still use an ISO to get it onto a usb drive and then install from the usb, no? [14:09] or which drivers to download [14:09] Hi, I'm trying to compile a cpp file with g++, but it's having trouble with the complex.h library. The code compiles fine on a different machine - but will only compile here if I comment out the complex stuff. Any ideas? [14:09] G-man: doesn't nvidia-glx-180 work? [14:09] its the only thing missing really EF_COLD, the rest do the job, open office isnt great, but for free, its pretty spanking excellent. [14:09] in fact, doesn't unetbootin specifically use ISOs? [14:09] will that work for a 9800gt ? [14:09] EF_Codd: No /dev/mmcblk either [14:09] i just deleted it all [14:09] theoros: You could, but it would require the extra step of converting the CD image to a USB bootable image. The easiest way to do that is with unetbootin [14:09] cuz i obviously had the wrong drivers [14:09] G-man: I have an evga 9800gt and it works [14:09] now i wanna try again, fresh [14:09] Ileden well hot diggity dawg [14:09] theoros: the .img is ready to be dumped on a USB stick, the ISO is not [14:10] okay... whats the code [14:10] i can type that in terminal [14:10] qwyeth, right, but you can still use an ISO to put on a USB stick/Flash card... so unless there is something that is specifc to IMG that helps, why not just give out ISO's and keep it all standard? [14:10] or do i go to synaptics [14:10] G-man: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-180 [14:10] EF_Codd: You're suggesting the /dev/mmcblk0 is in fact one of the partitions, not the drive itself (like /dev/hda1 instead of /dev/hda), right? [14:10] G-man: open system>admin>hardware drivers activate the driver [14:10] hi [14:10] why make an iso of something thats made for a netbook thats not gonna be burned to a cd.... [14:11] EF_Codd which is my best option for network diagrams? [14:11] EF_Codd: in fact, sudo ls /dev/mm* lists only the /dev/mmcblk0 [14:11] Ileden yeah. When I look at my SD card I do fdisk /dev/sdb and the partition is /dev/sdb1 [14:11] is it so much trouble to dd it to the stick ffs [14:11] xover I dual boot and use Visio. Sorry :) [14:11] b3rz3rk3r: The images are not the same. The main differences are in the bootloader and in the mount config [14:11] deany: This. [14:11] qwyeth: is this specific to ISO vs IMG, or of the offered ubuntu images? [14:11] k, cheers geezer [14:11] okay, its not showing anything in the hardware drivers list [14:12] hello [14:12] i need some help... [14:12] G-man: try installing the package directly, it cannot hurt. [14:12] how do i do that [14:12] where is it located [14:12] xover no wuckers cobber [14:12] EF_Codd: hm... you're quite right, of course, since I can actually mount it, it's quite probably just a partition, not the disk itself. But how would I find out what the actual disk device is, since it's not /dev/mm*... [14:12] G-man: install the package named: nvidia-glx-180 [14:12] anybodey can tell me, which program can i create wormhole vortex, and add it into an avi file? [14:12] :-) [14:13] Ileden hmm I don't know. You've investigated dmesg? [14:13] k [14:13] theoros: It might help if you remember that the extension (.img, .iso, etc) is arbitrary and is only a clue as to the format of the file. I've seen files ending in .img that are actually CD images [14:13] Ileden and investigated /var/log/messages after inserting/ejecting the card? [14:13] qwyeth: i'm aware of this. what about my question made you think i wasn't talking about formats? [14:13] EF_Codd: nope... not much familiar with dmesg. what should I look for? [14:13] you cant help some people.. [14:13] theoros: The ones provided by ubuntu follow the common convention of using .iso for CD images. .img is more generic and it's also used for floppy images and hard disk images [14:14] qwyeth: so it would be literally impossible to use an ISO, without taking further steps, to create a live usb? [14:14] theoros: I just wanted to clarify because you've been talking about .img like it's a format, but it's not. [14:14] it's not showing up [14:14] in the synaptics.... [14:14] qwyeth: you just said it was a format. === MUWAHAHAHAHA is now known as Anodyne [14:14] qwyeth: i'm fairly sure i haven't been talking about extensions [14:14] Ileden uh, you'll know it when you see it :) [14:15] G-man: Type this in a terminal: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-180 === Floops[w]1 is now known as Fringe [14:15] Ileden you'll see your device being recognized [14:15] Hi, I'm trying to compile a cpp file with g++, but it's having trouble with the complex.h library. The code compiles fine on a different machine - but will only compile here if I comment out the complex stuff. Any ideas? [14:15] theoros: No, I said that .img is a clue to the format, but it's not actually formatted at all, it's a dump image [14:15] Ileden when you plug in / unplug USB devices dmesg is written to. Usually /var/log/messages is as well [14:15] Ozzah: Probably best to ask in ##C++ [14:15] qwyeth: in a specific format [14:15] theoros: it's correct that if you image a .iso to a flashdrive it won't boot === rickspencer3-afk is now known as rickspencer3 [14:15] EF_Codd: Ok... mmc0: new high speed SD card at address b368 ---followed by--- mmcblk0: mmc0:b368 1GU2M 953 MiB [14:15] thanks [14:16] EF_Codd: but there's still no /dev/mmc0 :) [14:16] it told me unable to lock the administration directory is another process using it? [14:16] Ileden one thing to do is type "tail -f /var/log/messages" in one terminal, then plug in/ unplug the card and look at the output [14:16] qwyeth: you said, "the extension (.img, .iso, etc) is arbitrary and is only a clue as to the format of the file". i wasn't referring to extensions, i was referring to the format of the file [14:16] G-man: you need to close Synaptics first [14:16] G-man: close synaptic first [14:16] k [14:16] qwyeth: incidentally, you've been using the extensions, not me? [14:16] hahah [14:17] Ileden also, do "lshw -C disk" in console and look at that output [14:17] theoros: I apologize if I sounded condescending, what I'm trying to explain is that the IMG files aren't 'formats' at all. They're disk dumps. [14:17] says reading package lists... done... [14:17] qwyeth: anyway, you have actually answered my question, about the difference between ISO and IMG, and why ISO isn't used, so thanks [14:17] E: couldnt find package nvidia-glx-180 [14:17] Ileden you should see a line similar to "capabilities: partitioned partitioned:dos" when you do "lshw -C disk" [14:17] qwyeth: i know that, but i wasn't saying that the IMG files are "formats", but that the IMG file is of a specific format [14:17] G-man: what ubuntu do you have? [14:18] IMG usually means a bit for bit, bitstream dump [14:18] 8.04 i believe [14:18] G-man: I see, that's why it's not there [14:18] oh [14:18] it has nothing to do with "formats" [14:18] so go ahead and upgrade [14:18] or what [14:18] EF_Codd: lshw -C disk only lists the internal SD of the netbook (/dev/sda) [14:18] EF_Codd: lack of format would still be a format, in my eyes. it has a specified structure; namely, no real structure [14:19] it's not a format. It's a bitstream dump [14:19] hi all, telnet localhost 10024 is not working.... pls help me [14:19] blackxored, hi [14:19] Ileden hm, you have an external and internal sd card reader? [14:19] konza, hello [14:19] kk [14:19] EF_Codd: and both dmesg and /var/log/messages have the messages about mmc0. It's an internal SD card reader. [14:20] can i upgrade to the next one from the website? [14:20] G-man: It is up to you. But I never tried my 9800gt with Hardy (8.04) and the latest drivers are not available in 9.04. [14:20] blackxored, telnet localhost 10024 is not working [14:20] G-man: *8.04 [14:20] Ileden heh, uh just do "fdisk /dev/sda" [14:20] Ileden what does that tell you? [14:20] so which one do i use [14:20] ? [14:20] G-man: Intrepid 8.10 has them [14:21] so get intrepid [14:21] ? [14:21] EF_Codd: It gives me the normal list of my internal partitons, /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2 and /dev/sda5 [14:21] hello , howto remove user and group ? [14:21] send me a link, ill upgrade right now, i don't mind, i just installed anyway.... [14:21] konza, kind of busy with work and debian development today, so you may find answer in #ubuntu-server, or with me later [14:21] G-man: Yeah but you know how to upgrade/reinstall? [14:22] not quite [14:22] EF_Codd: internal SSD drive paritions, that is. not the internal SD-card reader partitons which I'm after :D [14:22] Ileden lol that makes more sense [14:22] synaptics or what [14:23] Ileden so the problem is you can't see the partition on your SSD [14:23] EF_Codd: yup, it's quite an important extra S there :) [14:23] ? [14:23] EF_Codd: nope [14:23] EF_Codd: problem is, I can't see the partitions of my SD card, in the internal SD card reader [14:23] blackxored, ok.. [14:23] EF_Codd: my SSD /dev/sda works fine :) [14:24] konza, no problem, have a nice daty [14:24] s/daty/day [14:24] anyone know what I need to do to get my " Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc RV620 Audio device [Radeon HD 34xx Series]" working? [14:25] G-man: open System > Administration > Update Manager does it say new disribution available? [14:25] EF_Codd: but I need to repartition an SD card... but I can only see the mountable (what I now presume to be) partiton at /dev/mmcblk0 [14:25] it says ur system is up to date [14:26] Ileden why don't you just repartition it? [14:26] G-man: mo upgrade button anywhere? [14:26] no [14:26] Ileden in other words, I don't know anything else to tell you :) [14:26] EF_Codd: what would I repartition? /dev/mmcblk0? [14:27] nope [14:27] G-man: http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-upgrade-ubuntu-8.04-to-ubuntu-8.10-desktop-and-server [14:27] EF_Codd: because that doesn't contain any partitons currently, so it seems like a weird thing to repartition... === Unibob|laptop_ is now known as DJ_Unibob|laptop [14:27] Ileden well, I'm taking it that you don't need to keep anything that's on the SD card now? [14:28] EF_Codd: true [14:28] Ileden it could be that whatever device you took it out of had a strange cylinder/heads thing going on [14:28] meh...bad time of the day, phone calls knocking me offline again [14:28] Ileden which just means the way fdisk reads things is getting screwed up [14:28] !partitions [14:28] 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 [14:28] Ileden it happens a lot (or did) with *BSDs [14:28] can you imagine a good procedure to move a LVM setup from one machine to another via the network? [14:29] EF_Codd: ah... so it's posbbile that it *can* be mounted, even though fdisk sees no partitions on it... [14:29] Ileden yes [14:29] Ileden fdisk looks for certain "patterns" to identify partitions. If they aren't there, or are in a different place fdisk gets confused [14:29] EF_Codd: ok... that I didn't know. [14:30] Ileden it's a trick that bad guys exploit sometimes so that forensic tools don't work properly [14:30] ah [14:30] Ileden mitigated by looking at the actual bits though ... [14:31] Ileden I've never had a mmcblk0 device. But I'm interested in your problem, and if you get it partitioned [14:31] EF_Codd: well, it did originally come from a phone, so they woudn't care about partition stuff that much I guess. [14:31] Ileden ah ok then. It is entirely possible the phone formatted it in a "slightly" proprietary way [14:33] EF_Codd: ok, well I'll try writing a new partition table on it with fdisk. [14:34] anyone know what I need to do to get my " Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc RV620 Audio device [Radeon HD 34xx Series]" working? [14:35] I know this is a general place to ask a specific question.. but I have had openssh-server locking up at random intervals. on jaunty x64. TCPKeepAlive is set to Yes. It does not disconnect, but I can no longer type into the terminal and eventually the session will timeout. I have only changed the OS from hardy. The network and router are the same [14:35] any ideas? [14:36] hi [14:36] maszlo: Does it happen for all sessions, or only ssh? [14:36] EF_Codd: (taking a dd copy of it first, to preserve the weridness, though :) ) [14:36] Ileden heh nice idea === killordie_ is now known as kill [14:36] maszlo: Disabling keepalive may help too :| === kill is now known as kill-or-die [14:37] anyone know a decent app for converting wma to mp3? [14:37] Ileden did you look at it with gparted? [14:37] dab_: sox does most formats, as far as I know... [14:37] dab_: http://ocaoimh.ie/how-to-convert-from-wma-to-mp3/ [14:38] awesome, thanks Ileden, Boohbah [14:38] dab_: there's a nice script, uses mplayer [14:38] EF_Codd: nope. I'll take a look after the dd is complete [14:38] dab_: lame too [14:39] great! :) [14:40] Ileden gparted looks at the disk in a slightly different way so that might yield something [14:41] EF_Codd: I did try gparted once, though, but it provided no way to select anything but /dev/sda. Can I use it to access a specific device with "sudo gparted /dev/mmcblk0"? [14:41] grawity: only ssh, remotely specificly [14:41] Ileden I wish I knew. That's why I want you to try it :) [14:41] Ileden like I say, I've never had a /dev/mmcblk0 device [14:42] Ileden also, after you mount the card, what does the "mount" command say about it? [14:43] Ileden, EF_Codd: gparted probably doesn't show devices if they don't have a partition table. [14:44] grawity yeah, it was just another avenue [14:44] maszlo: also check out ClientAliveInterval [14:44] how can I know which hardware ubuntu did/didn't recognize? does it have a device manager like windows does? [14:44] grawity I'd like to know what "mount" says [14:44] ClientAliveCountMax [14:44] maszlo: ^^ that too [14:44] maszlo: Did you try _disabling_ keepalive? [14:45] EF_Codd: mount looks pretty normal. /dev/mmcblk0 on /media/disk type vfat (options....) [14:45] Very often, removable media (memory cards, USB disks) have a single filesystem, without even a partition table. [14:45] Like with this mmcblk0, apparently. [14:45] suigeneris: basically, you will notice it won't work === xbmc is now known as xukun_ [14:45] yeah [14:45] And I'm guessing gparted wants a partition table. [14:46] grawity: so... they have jsut a file system directly? you can do that? [14:46] Ileden: Yep [14:46] devices like cameras and phones do that with their internal formaters [14:46] grawity: I have not tried to disable keepalive [14:46] suigeneris: for the record though, ubuntu recognizes about 90% of all hardware I have thrown at it [14:46] grawity: so... can you also have a partiton table inside a partition then? :) [14:46] Ileden: Yep. (It's not going to be read though.) [14:46] it doesn't need the table actually [14:47] hello [14:47] rabidweezle, thanks. a colleague asked that though === bullgard is now known as bullgard4 [14:47] the ubuntu upgrader reports some bad signature [14:47] what's this, and can I safely ignore it? [14:47] grawity, EF_Codd: ok, this is starting to make a lot more sense now. [14:48] sometimes they even create an extended partition which is really the "primary" partition [14:49] it's the reason they love FAT ... you can do all sorts of non-standard stuff [14:49] while NTFS enforces rules :) [14:50] NTFS and "extended partitions" aren't related [14:51] is there a different channel for UNR? [14:51] grawity what are you talking about? [14:51] are there any online calendar services that allow you to create events in evolution and then sync to the server? google calendar doesn't do this its read only [14:52] I just installed UNR on my Acer Aspire One. I selected the option to keep the windows copy that came with my netbook. But now it seems that ubuntu installer has set my root file system size to 2.4gb and its not sufficient for me to install extra pkgs. any suggestions? [14:52] is there anyway to increase the root file system size? [14:52] can anybody tell me why I'm not hearing sound when playing audo file like mp3. Ac3 sounds works just fine [14:53] grawity I'm saying they use DOS extended partitions when cameras and phones do their formatting. They then sometimes divide these into logical partitions [14:53] A quick note to linux gamers out there, do *not* buy the unreal anthology dvd EVEN THOUGH it has a picture of tux, and linux is supported it says on the box, it isn't, it has no linux installer, or binaries, and you can't even access the files in linux. [14:54] then you basically get a "link" to the extended partition table that describes the first logical partition on the disk [14:54] anyone? === factorx__ is now known as Tommy_DO [14:54] SingAlong: yes, use a gparted livecd [14:54] Because these devices don't use the cards to boot, they don't need to have a primary partition set to bootable [14:55] SingAlong: You can boot with the USB-stick you installed UNR from, and run gparted from that. [14:55] rabidweezle: any doc or tutorial you could point me to? (i have a netbook. so can i use my usb instead?) [14:55] SingAlong: Gparted is pretty simple, trust me, basically it's all gui [14:55] SingAlong: Do you have the model with 8GB SSD disk? [14:55] geirha: nah! acer aspire one 160gb [14:55] geirha: with 1gb ram [14:56] erm, not sure if this is the right channel to ask but... does anyone have a link to the _specific_ patches used to make gnome-settin-daemon (i believe that's the package that handles the volume notification?) work with notify-osd? [14:56] SingAlong: intel video? [14:56] been googling for hours, looking at patches.ubuntu.com, but can't find anything [14:56] rabidweezle: ya i think so. it uses an intel atom processor [14:56] rabidweezle: why? [14:56] SingAlong: Hm. Odd that it used so low ammount of space then. [14:56] SingAlong: I wouldn't mind a netbook, but I would rather die than play with a intel GMA :( [14:57] rabidweezle: i just use it for web dev [14:57] rabidweezle: on the run. otherwise its always the usual ubuntu 9.04 on my desktop [14:58] rabidweezle: i just borrowed my dad's extra netbook :) so i didnt want to destroy the win copy it came with. [14:58] SingAlong: Gparted is pretty easy to work with, it's alot like partition magic [14:58] I got a Asus 1000HE netbook. I didn't think it would be, but it's the best computer I've bought lol [14:58] rabidweezle: do i just have to boot the netbook with gparted in it? [14:58] i hardly use my "real" laptop anymore [14:59] EF_Codd: you like it so much? [14:59] EF_Codd: what apps do you use normally? [14:59] SingAlong, if you have a live CD just use that, it has gparted installed on it, and has a better UI [14:59] EF_Codd: You should see my Compaq cq60-215dx :) Nvidia 8200M G, plays enemy territory Quake Wars quite well [14:59] SingAlong yeah, I can just chuck it in my bag and take it to university and have it run for 9 hours on the battery [14:59] SingAlong, click system->Admin-->Partition Editing [14:59] slayton: oh you mean the UNR live CD? ya i have the UNR in a bootable usb right now. [14:59] rabidweezle well, I have a gaming rig to play games [15:00] hi, i use Evolution and the last 2 days gives me a msg : "Error while Fetching Mail" , any ideas pls ?i didnt change any preferences... [15:00] SingAlong, not sure about UNR, but I know that the full Ubuntu distros have it [15:00] slayton: oh unr doesnt have it. any command to access that via terminal? [15:00] SingAlong the thing I use the most is Visual Studio 2008 with windows, and eclipse/netbeans/various compilers when using linux. Nothing too heavy [15:01] I stopped playing games about 2 years ago when I started my Masters :) [15:01] SingAlong: Boot with the USB and see. gparted doesn't get installed by default, by the live session has it (at least the liveCDs) [15:01] visual studio still doesn't work in wine ehh? [15:01] EF_Codd: eclipse is heavy! i had to upgrade my comp to 3gb ram to run it happily while playing music and surfing. :) [15:01] SingAlong: You can't do it from the install itself, since all partitions must be unmounted when you want to resize [15:01] rabidweezle I don't bother with wine. I just dual boot [15:02] Hey guys, haveing a bluetooth issue Method "Get"CurrentPath" with signature "" on Interface "org.openobex.Session" doesn't exist [15:02] EF_Codd: yeah, it's not stable enough for a coding enviroment unless you are like me and just use notepad++ :D [15:02] SingAlong I guess it depends how you have it configured ... I have no probs. It is more bloated than VS 2008 though lol [15:02] geirha: oh i guess i'll just install gparted on the usb and get going. should do right? [15:02] hi all, how can i safely disable nepomuk indexing service? [15:03] rabidweezle vim ftw [15:03] rebooting unpairing deleteing repairing etc all work, have done them all, it works pretty much at random [15:03] SingAlong: It should be on the USB, but if it isn't, you can just install it in the live session, yes. [15:03] EF_Codd: ya it worked. but i havent tried eclipse on my AAO netbook yet. just been configuring and setting it up since yesterday [15:03] how can i fix this problem without rebooting my machine? [15:03] geirha: oh unr-live has gparted? how do i access it? [15:04] EF_Codd: Vim isn't bad, but notepad++ is a dream at finding errors [15:04] SingAlong: System -> Administration -> Partition editor [15:04] rabidweezle little hard to use via ssh :) [15:04] geirha: no that isnt available on unr [15:04] EF_Codd: true [15:04] EF_Codd: then again, I don't do my coding from ssh [15:04] I really thought netbooks were a waste of time before I got one [15:05] geirha: i'm on my ubuntu 9.04 desktop and have my netbook running Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.04 right next to me [15:05] rabidweezle: notepad++ is hard to use over ssh? nonsense. [15:05] Ileden: sox doesnt seem to support .wma :( [15:05] lol here he comes again [15:05] EF_Codd said it grawity, not me [15:05] EF_Codd: i loved netbooks only aftre i saw my dad happily carrying one instead of his laptop. [15:05] SingAlong: Have you booted from the harddrive or the UNR-USB? gparted doesn't get installed by default, but should be installed on the USB [15:05] dab_: yeah, coild be. :( wma is a bit troublesome with open source... patent stuff an all that [15:06] SingAlong yeah, like me. The thinkpad seems like a brute now lol [15:06] I don't use ssh for but 1 thing myself, and that's maintaining my server [15:06] ah yeah Ileden :( , All im looking to do is burn the files to a CD, but k3b wont let me unless its mp3 [15:06] Does anyone know which plugin setting it is in compiz/compiz-fusion that keeps showing all windows on the desktop when I move my mouse to the top edge? It's bloody annoying ;) [15:06] rabidweezle I use it all the time [15:06] geirha: will boot in around 2 min. i was installing JDK [15:06] help. just installed Ubuntu 6.06 LTS on Mac PowerPC G4 my goal is to convert .dmg to a bootable .iso disk would like to install or try to install Mac os x 10.5 I only have .dmg files to work with. [15:06] I'm loving my netbook too! In fact, the problem I'm trying to fix is related to this - trying to get Aspire One suspend correctly with the SD-card. [15:07] EF_Codd: Like if I'm coding, I code on my laptop, then commit the changes via ftp [15:07] EF_Codd: I'm going to buy one of those foldable USB keyboards to carry around. the keys on my Acer Aspire One are too small and not comfy. [15:07] I have looked into the forums and followed many instructions including dmg2iso dmg2img [15:07] gigglefight: why 6.06 when there's 9.04? [15:07] SingAlong yeah, that's why I chose the 1000HE. I actually type faster than at my normal keyboard [15:07] s [15:07] EF_Codd: you've got bigger keys? [15:07] dab_: could be there's a way to use wma with sox, but it might be only available from more shady sources. Shady not meaning there's antyhing morally worng from my viewpoint, that is. [15:08] SingAlong: they make those keyboard "rolls" and another I saw that was cool was a laser keyboard that puts the keys on a desk [15:08] thinkgeek had the latter [15:08] SingAlong it's 94% of full keyboard, with chicklet keys. And yes, the keyboard is bigger than the Acer [15:08] my guess is that a) the file is corrupt b) can't convert in Mac PPC c) I'm not trying hard enough (honestly, I haven't had any sleep, please help) [15:08] rabidweezle heh my coding can be anything from C++ to Haskell to Java to lisp on any day [15:08] My laptop has a full keyboard and numpad though [15:09] EF_Codd: wow. [15:09] EF_Codd: gparted shows the devices a unallocated space [15:09] I will repeat: running Ubuntu 6.06 LTS on PPC g4 Mac . thanks.

[15:09] rabidweezle ah .... [15:09] geirha: i now rebooted. i got the usual ubuntu menu on reboot. what option do i select now? [15:09] I've tried booting and pressing C key [15:09] EF_Codd but I guess that makes sense since it probably doesn't have a partition table at all. [15:09] Ileden oh well. When are you formatting that puppy? [15:09] gigglefight: 6.06 isn't supported anymore. Only the server is [15:09] What could cause system freezes when accessing files? Usually moving/deleting big files or lots of files freezes ubuntu. [15:10] I all [15:10] geirha k. what are my options. from here? [15:10] SingAlong: System -> Admin. -> Partition editor [15:10] Lartza_: I get slowdown when deleting "mass" ammounts of files [15:10] geirha: from live?

[15:13] kfan: SysRQ + Alt + K [15:13] Well, OK. I'm trying to avoid stuff like the Pulseaudio pain (unless its really working now), unstable Xorg versions, etc. [15:13] geirha: i got a nice little gui. although, where do i find the resize option? [15:13] processor maybe by motorola... this computer is from 2003 or so... [15:13] thanks [15:13] yeah, pulseaudio has been a thorn for many people [15:13] mothas: ^^ [15:13] SingAlong: the live session may decide to use swap partitions on the harddrive. Make sure to unmount it (right click any key-icon in gparted) [15:14] gigglefight: The processor maker matters in what way? [15:14] It's a PowerPC [15:14] mothas yes, install the latest stable, Jaunty 9.04 [15:14] SingAlong: Then the resize options should be ungreyed [15:14] gigglefight: a ppc is a ppc [15:14] geirha: yes. turned off swap now. [15:14] okay. [15:14] EF_Codd: Is 9.04 more stable than 8.04 ? [15:14] mothas: ofcourse :) [15:15] mothas 9.04 is the latest stable release. So yes :) [15:15] Could ubuntu freeze when accessing hard drive because of ext4 format?? [15:15] :S [15:15] mothas: 8.04 has 3yrs support. x.10 versions have 5yrs support. LTS versions [15:15] therefore the 9.04 ubuntu would work on the PPC? [15:15] would the 9.04 work fine? [15:16] mothas the short answer is get 9.04 [15:16] if it's the ppc version [15:16] Hi all [15:16] every architecture has to download their version of ubuntu [15:16] I cannot open Encfs folder (which was just working before shutdown and login). It say "Transport endpoint is not connected" after encfs mount and trying to open the folder. looks like it's because of fuse or something. but i donot know how to shoot the problem. if any one know, please tell me a hint. [15:16] now this is why i like ubuntu. everything is just beautifully possible. [15:16] link please to ppc version of 9.04 [15:16] thanks. [15:16] jaunty (9.04) is the first release I've used that my laptop hasn't had a single issue with...well, WEP/64 being an exception [15:16] anyone got bright ideas to install MySQL 5.1 on Jaunty server? [15:16] Yea where can you get ppc 9.04?? [15:16] (i am not using ubuntu, but i see ubuntu irc has many people so i go and ask, sorry if i nbother you) [15:17] SingAlong: No offense intended here, but there's no of-course to it. When they first introduced Xorg, Pulseaudio, and a few other things, there were problems that took a few versions to work out. [15:17] Hi all. I am suffering from bug #342782 (python-qwt5-qt4 will not install on Jaunty). Thus I am trying to install pyqwt from source. [15:17] gigglefight: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/jaunty/release/ [15:17] mothas: ya. agree. but there's always a fix being worked on. :) [15:17] thanks :) [15:17] unless the project is abandoned lol [15:17] SingAlong: True. [15:18] Everything goes correcly, but when I try to do "import PyQt4.Qwt5" in python, I get "No module named Qwt5". Any idea ? === MadMax is now known as Guest46345 [15:18] will do. but then my next question: is it possible to return to mac os x 10.5 from ubuntu? [15:18] just curious. [15:18] is there anything i can type to refresh video because i dont have sysrq button [15:19] which file system is better? ext3 or ext4? [15:19] SingAlong: The task I have at and though is to install an OS on a production system. It can't have anything major that is being still worked out; I don't mind configuring it, but it has to just work once I'm done. [15:19] gigglefight: with the install cd I'm guessing, unless they let you dual boot on mac [15:19] b/w can linux write to ntfs? [15:19] SingAlong yes [15:19] mothas: server? [15:19] dunno if grub works on mac like that [15:19] SingAlong: ntfs-3g :) [15:20] anyone got ideas for installing MySQL 5.1 on Ubuntu Jaunty Server? [15:20] EF_Codd: are you using ext3 or ext4? suggestions on which is better? [15:20] I have never owned but the first ever mac with the m68k [15:20] SingAlong: ntfs-3g module, comes with Ubuntu, has nearly perfect NTFS support (for most) [15:20] ragidweezle: how so? [15:20] SingAlong I use ext4 with no problems [15:20] how do you refresh video i thru terminal? [15:20] anyway, have to go [15:20] rabidweezle: whoa... now that's an antique... don't like mac... [15:20] <_pedda_> hi there [15:20] grawity oh, you're a tool by the way [15:21] ciao :) [15:21] grawity: k. i'll use ext4 for 20gb and another 20gb of ntfs. i already have 101gb for windows (for what they call the C drive) :) [15:21] <_pedda_> i need a keyword for research on google about how to create a preconfigured ubuntu installation cd.. [15:21] gigglefight: I like getting what I pay for, but not paying for a name [15:21] downloading 9.04 for PowerPC at the moment. [15:21] SingAlong: How about using all 40 for ext4? :| [15:21] hence why I don't own a mac [15:21] <_pedda_> is there an application or method i should google for ? [15:21] I didn't buy this mac. LOL. [15:21] I inherited it... eww. [15:21] I cannot open Encfs folder (which was just working before shutdown and login). It say "Transport endpoint is not connected" after encfs mount and trying to open the folder. looks like it's because of fuse or something. but i donot know how to shoot the problem. if any one know, please tell me a hint. (question re-asked) [15:21] is there a good c++ editor for gnome? [15:22] how do you refresh video i thru terminal? [15:22] SingAlong: workstation. Not a personal computer though; has 8-disk raid, multiple monitors, and usually multiple users (via ssh X-sessions). [15:22] With Linux, you get what you pay for - unless you paid for it. [15:22] csaba: vim, emacs, gedit [15:22] gigglefight: I figured, it's kinda old [15:22] * triplc feeling so so hopeless [15:22] g5's that is [15:22] gravity: I don't like gedit, and vim and emacs aren't gnome [15:22] csaba: Or if you want an IDE there's anjuta [15:22] mothas: oh [15:22] mothas: pretty mission critical [15:22] JonJ_: I'll check it out thanks === JonJ_ is now known as JonJ [15:23] this room moves rapidly, be patient and if you have to, ask more than once, but wait a bit in between requests... [15:23] mothas: but i dont think you'll ned xorg or any other fancy stuff for that i guess? [15:23] mothas: some kinda local server? [15:23] I'd like to preform miracles. Is it possible to install Ubuntu 9.04 then Mac OS again. (possible leopard) [15:23] I'm unable to help, I'm an ubuntu newb. I'm learning tho [15:23] when I try to bring up places>home I keep get cervisia errors. How do I fix this? [15:23] I installed ubuntu just to undo the password junk that mac os gives me. [15:23] gigglefight: no os change is perminant [15:23] on mac? [15:24] on any os [15:24] gigglefight: if you have the OS X disc - it's easy to install it. [15:24] I can install mac os on this non mac laptop if I wanted to [15:24] rabidweezle: that's not the point. [15:24] my friend who owns a mac laptop has a problem installing operating system because of password stuff from madc. [15:24] mac [15:24] SingAlong: More or less - it records video and lets folks edit it and send it to remote monitors. [15:24] I had no problem with the password issue when I installed ubuntu. :) [15:24] gigglefight: like a bios password? [15:25] um... Admin password or something like that... [15:25] I haven't seen his system. [15:25] SingAlong: ext4 is definitely faster and better than ext3 which also enables some linux distros to possibly boot into desktop within 20 seconds, only one thing might concern you is that other distros without ext4 support will not be able to read ext4 filesystem [15:25] I mentioned to him to install ubuntu. :) [15:26] gigglefight: did he buy his laptop second hand? [15:26] ZOO0828: is it really that much faster? I havent noticed a big difference between the two.. [15:26] SingAlong: It needs Xorg, yes. The issue is that it's currently running 8.04 with backports and has developed instability - some apps don't display on the right screens anymore (or any screen as far as I can tell). [15:26] ZOO0828, i wonder if the next LTS will have ext4 by default? [15:26] nope... he's a comp tech.. who doesn't know anything about mac. [15:26] it's his friend's [15:26] clearscreen not that much, :) at least my crunchbang still boot in 40 seconds [15:27] maybe only in theory [15:27] quit [15:27] k. how to open .dmg files on ubuntu? [15:27] 9.04 is a tad faster than 8.10 was on this machine, both being 64 bit [15:27] thiebaude possible, :) and hope so [15:27] geirha: i turned off swap. but i cannot resize swap partition. although now i ahve 80gb freespace and am able to create new logical partitions. [15:27] gigglefight: Ahh, yeah, there's a lot of people how there that know nothing about macs, just because well, they aren't even as mainstream as linux to some. [15:27] ZOO0828, yep [15:28] today i updated my gnome-terminal and i was hoping that the "gnome-terminal: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libvte.so.9: undefined symbol: pango_layout_get_baseline" will disappear. any help? why's it happening. it started to happen when i upgraded to jaunty. it just doesn't work anymore. [15:28] do I convert them .dmg to .iso then boot the computer holding the c key and all that jazz? [15:28] ZOO0828, but its so tempting to order that 9.10 cd [15:28] thiebaude: why not [15:29] rabidweezle: amazingly disney uses mostly mac, from what I hear... omg! [15:29] geirha: np i got it. i had to take care of the preceeding space setting [15:29] the horror. [15:29] ZOO0828, i'll order, because i have all the others since 6.06 [15:29] only thing I find good about macs is audio apps. [15:29] gigglefight: Most movie companies and music companies do [15:29] just in case [15:29] thiebaude you are really into ubuntu ,, aren't you... lol [15:30] My friend's opinion, Premiere pro is just as good as Final Cut PRo [15:30] BRB [15:30] How can I fetch covers for albums that are on my iPod? And how can I Scrobble plays from my iPod to last fm? This all concerns Amarok 2.1 [15:30] ZOO0828: I order them just for the stickers lol [15:30] ZOO0828, yea, i've been back and forth between bug#1 but i'll stay here [15:30] sorry wrong chatbox [15:30] oh yeah.. is it possible to run CS3 or CS4 on Ubuntu? [15:30] SingAlong: Thanks for the advice anyway - I may give 9.04 a whirl. I'm just gun shy about regressions, after the ones in XrandR & Compiz. [15:30] how to go about that? [15:30] ext4 lockups and freezes are common problem?? o.O [15:31] gigglefight: with wine I think you can, but I can't be certain, check the wine appdb [15:31] easy question: is there a way to change the date format? [15:31] !appdb > gigglefight [15:31] gigglefight, please see my private message [15:31] I'm making a not of it. [15:31] thanks. [15:31] Hi i need help removing my flash player and getting the right one installed. Im running ubuntu 9.04 [15:31] mothas: compiz needs a good graphics card i think so. [15:31] garymc: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [15:32] date is in mm/dd/yyyy, I want to change it to dd-mmm-yyyy is that easy to accomplish? [15:32] yeah got that one but its messing my sound up and doesnt play right [15:32] does wine work on mac g4? [15:32] lads.. whats it mean if the screen usually goes blank on any ubuntu live cd installtion or hd installtion or ubuntu 8.04 8.10 nubuntu and Backtrack 4? [15:32] gigglefight: yep [15:32] garymc what fp you have now? [15:32] gigglefight: Is the G4 using an Intel CPU? [15:32] so this terminal problem is unsolvable? :( [15:32] G4 is PPC [15:32] i think its flash nonfree [15:33] if I fit in the entire CS3 into the system, do you think it'll slow it down? [15:33] garymc ok first you have to uninstall it [15:33] SingAlong: compiz needs to be removed. It's pretty, but very limited for multi-user setups. [15:33] nope. it's not an Intel CPU for sure... [15:33] hello [15:33] gigglefight: Wine only emulates the Windows APIs, not the entire CPU. If you don't have an x86 CPU, Wine won't work. (Or at least I highly doubt it will work.) [15:33] i need help to get a usb modem to work [15:33] aww. [15:33] how i did sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-nonfree and i still had it [15:34] mothas: cannot agree more. compiz has no job in a workstation [15:34] Rhorse : ^^ [15:34] I could have sword I had a friend with a g5 that had wine working o_O, but you are probably right [15:34] i'm using zte mf622 modem i've been able to use the modem but now i can't anymore [15:34] 2000 copyrighted by MAC.... so it maybe a Motorola processor... [15:34] gigglefight: uname -a will tell [15:34] Is there way to convert all my partitions(ext4) to ext3 witohut dataloss? :S [15:34] garymc try the purge option with apt-get [15:34] EF_Codd: I'm commuting so the connection is "flaky" to say the least.... [15:34] gawity: huh? [15:34] garymc, search in synaptic for flash and remove it, if that dosen't work [15:35] grawity: please explain... [15:35] psam: give us the output from "lsusb" [15:35] gigglefight: you could always run a virtual machine with windows on it [15:35] on a Mac? [15:35] really! [15:35] wow! [15:35] ok wait a sec [15:35] gigglefight: Unix-based systems (including OS X) have 'uname' command. [15:35] Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub [15:35] gigglefight: And, learn to use tab-completion on IRC :) [15:35] Bus 002 Device 004: ID 19d2:2000 [15:35] Bus 002 Device 003: ID 045e:00d2 Microsoft Corp.

[15:35] ok sorry [15:36] psam, ok the 19d2:2000 is the modem [15:36] I dunno if vmware has a ppc version though [15:36] psam then "dmesg" [15:36] psam and use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste [15:37] I've heard of vmware. [15:37] !vm [15:37] There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications [15:37] RHorse removed all packages, which one should i install? [15:37] rabidweezle: even if it had, it wouldn't work :| running an x86 OS on a PPC CPU requires full emulation - quite a slow thing compared to virtualization. [15:37] heard of it. Will look into it more. I'm at 90% downloaded Ubuntu 9.04 [15:37] here it is: http://paste.ubuntu.com/267979/ [15:37] gigglefight: checking it out, running x86 emulation on a ppc is VERY SLOW gigglefight [15:37] it's a long text =) [15:37] will be leaving soon. thanks for the help! [15:37] garymc the non-free flash has been removed now? [15:38] yes [15:38] rabidweezle: my option? [15:38] do you think you can help me? [15:38] gigglefight: Guess you are running "the gimp" for your photoshopping needs [15:38] ok, go to adobe.com and dl the .gz file for v. 10 flashplayer (linux) and save it to your home dir [15:38] how about if I just install a couple items from CS3 [15:38] would that work? not the entire CS3 [15:38] hi everyone [15:38] psam: it looks ok, ttyUSB0 ~ 2 are the modem [15:39] heyyy boyyyyyyys! ;)).

It gives me 3 options [15:39] but the networkmanager doesn't allow me to connect it [15:39] swfdec SWF player [15:39] gigglefight: from what it looks like, you don't want to do it [15:39] once it appeared there [15:39] the connection [15:39] Adobe flash player [15:39] i installed mysql, but im getting ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) [15:39] but now it doesn't [15:39] gigglefight: I looks like you are stuck with the gimp [15:39] k.

[15:41] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [15:41] hi blackxored ! [15:41] this shit is getting ridiculous [15:41] grawity, also, didnt apt-get did all this things, why in this version of ubuntu 9.04 its not working [15:41] proview: MySQL uses two types of sockets: TCP socket (the one telnet uses) and Unix socket (file-based). [15:41] oh well =( [15:41] psam: try this guide http://www.lug-iitd.org/EvDO_on_Linux don't worry if your modem is not EVDO, [15:41] kind of silly question, if I got this v3 phone and plug oin to my usb bus, and then fire up a vm with xp, there's a way that my vm recognizes it although my linux system might not? [15:41] so i upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 [15:41] now everything is jumbo... [15:41] grawity, how do i create the unix socket? [15:41] miguelonnnn, hi, glad to be back ;) [15:41] hi [15:41] proview: It's supposed to be created by mysqld on start. [15:42] ok [15:42] anyone advise me on best Flash option to install.

[15:42] garymc do you want to install it or not? [15:42] Hey folks, if I install gfx drivers which for any reason aren't compatible with my machine, is there any way to revert to previous drivers? [15:42] proview, and you have to configure it in my.conf [15:42] I want to install a good flash player that works [15:42] ok, go to adobe.com and dl the .gz file for v. 10 flashplayer (linux) and save it to your home dir [15:42] dumb0, ok tks, i will check out my.conf [15:42] Vixen-: Remove them through the terminal. [15:43] grawity: can you tell me how to do that? [15:43] I have no idea :\ [15:43] when I try to bring up places>home I keep get cervisia errors. How do I fix this? [15:43] garymc, get the .deb flash from the adobe site [15:44] is it me or is 8.10 buggy as hell [15:45] * blackxored wonders again if it connects a mobile by usb, and fire a vm with xp or something, will the vm detect it although my ubuntu may not?? [15:46] hi.. what firewall is the most prefered in ubuntu 9.04? [15:46] can i get some help [15:46] everything is super huge [15:46] and i cant change the resolution any higher === kill is now known as kill-or-die [15:47] @snxdp2 use firestart. easy and good. [15:47] blackxored: ubuntu has to see the device first before the VM does, however , maybe not in a way that XP does [15:47] i cant seem to enable it, ?? [15:47] psygate: you mean firestarter - the firewall.. i'm not easy ;) [15:47] grawity, actually now i dont get the socket thing, mysqladmin admin-u root password mypassword , gets , mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed | error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)' [15:47] Would upgrading to 9.10 fix my problems? [15:47] what is ATK-accessibility toolkit? [15:47] @snxdp2 root mode active? [15:48] Helllo out there!!! [15:48] admin-u => -u [15:48] i think you have to enable root mode for firestarter [15:48] letme have a quick look at mine...

[15:51] ZOO0828, sometimes it is sometimes it's not, weird [15:51] blackxored, oh, simple answer, ose vbox does not support usb [15:51] ZOO0828, but it activates some times, how could that be possible [15:51] Hello guys! Does anoyne have a PowerEdge 860 server? [15:51] blackxored never mind , go to sun vbox site and download the full version [15:52] During an FTP server 'make' i get "/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lcap" i dont know the correct package to grab, and there is no lcap in apt-cace search [15:52] cache* [15:52] ZOO0828, i'll be probably back to vmware, but who knows, i might give a try to vbox, once again [15:52] T/17 [15:53] I just built a new machine, and I installed Jaunty and got everything to work including the nvidia driver for my onboard Geforce 8100. Should I install Karmic instead? [15:53] blackxored: if i were, you, i would like to try to solve the problem in vbox first, and it's not that hard [15:53] ZOO0828, all right, but vmware supports might be better [15:53] blackxored actually, I just got my own vbox working recently [15:53] ZOO0828, I'll following your advice, download vbox-3.0.4 [15:53] blackxored vmware is not free ... :) [15:54] blackxored excellent [15:54] hi @all. can anybody tell me how i can add a firefox symbol to my desktop, without usind the plasmoids. when i create a link the symbol is only a question mark. how can i fix this? [15:54] blackxored and even with the full version, some more steps need to take before the usb could function properly [15:55] blackxored hold on, grub some info [15:55] Do you think I could add more than 8 GB Memory to a Dell PowerEdge 860 server? It has foud memory slots. I don't see why it would not support 4 GB modules? Has anyone tried this? [15:56] ionut_: Thats not really on-topic for this channel. ##hardware would be a more appropriate place to discuss. [15:56] ZOO0828, vmware server is free, at least in a money-sense [15:56] ok. will try that. thx [15:56] blackxored that;s true [15:57] During an FTP server 'make' i get "/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lcap" i dont know the correct package to grab, and there is no lcap (LCAP) in apt-cache search === anthony is now known as G-man [15:57] blackxored: got it, http://www.ghacks.net/2009/08/01/install-virtualbox-with-usb-support/ [15:58] well.. i was told that the reason i couldnt get my video card to work was because i was on 8.04 [15:58] ZOO0828, also, sun's blocking my country :D [15:58] i upgrade to 8.10 [15:58] and now its bugged out [15:58] everything is even bigger than before [15:58] 8.10 is old [15:58] technically, the latest version is 9.04, not 8.10 [15:58] but i can at least look at xcontrol now [15:58] get 9.04 [15:58] 9.04 sucks right now [15:59] But - I will agree - the changes made to X were not ... the best idea [15:59] for vbox with usb support you must use VBoX PUEL and make yourself a member of the group vboxusers [15:59] to be honest [15:59] im afraid it will be worse [15:59] blackxored: the steps works for other version of ubuntu as well only you may change one line to "none /sys/bus/usb/drivers usbfs devgid=120,devmode=664 0 0" depends [15:59] i mean i cant even figure out how to get my resolution any higher than 640*480 [15:59] and when i try to click windows, they just move around [15:59] blackxored : how so? :) [15:59] its weird [16:00] ZOO0828, I go through vmware, I don't want to fire up tor everytime I have to update my sources === monteith is now known as monteith_afk [16:00] mode being set to +e haven't seen that in awhile. o.O [16:00] if i upgrade to 9.04 [16:01] will my 9800gt display both monitors [16:01] DJ_Unibob|laptop: Ban exception, for a web IRC user.

[16:35] see about getting a prepaid visa from a local bank [16:36] or just install the non canonical dvd software drivers? [16:36] it will cost a small fee for the card itself, but works like a real credit card [16:36] so you can watch dvd movies. [16:36] borreguito: you don't need to buy anything to watch dvds.

[16:44] Ileden: if they do, they'd sure choose a delay longer than 25 lines. [16:44] grawity: should be a longer delay, for sure. (longer tahn mine too :) ) [16:44] thiebaude: i'm not sure what that is [16:44] gnychis: you can try to manually install the plugin ... ~/.mozilla/firefox/plugins/ I believe, can grab the latest version from adobe website [16:44] ok, then your not using it [16:44] evident, only another month and it`ll be default in 9.10 [16:45] duffydack, yep one more alpha and then a beta [16:45] duffydack, and updating my system from 9.04 to 9.10 will automatically delete the old stuff and only have ff3.5 then?

[17:20] nirvette: sound is usually low in ubuntu after install (atleast happens so for me). just type in alsamixer in the commandline and try changing the volume there [17:20] terminhell: do you have all of the codecs installed?

(but i doubt thats a problem. coz you have video working already) [17:21] nirvette: you're gonna want to turn up Master and PCM, and make sure they're not muted [17:21] nirvette: libflashplayer.so. drop that file in the firefox plugins dir [17:21] well nirvette if you're problem is flash, not sound [17:22] RHorse: he says his video is working fine. just no sound. [17:22] Twoslice, even the default ubuntu theme has the same problem. the window min/max/unmax wont play and a few others too [17:22] the wrong kind of flash can cause that, SingAlong [17:22] RHorse: guess he's got a sound problem in the ubuntu sound config [17:22] RHorse: oh. didnt know that.

I assume this is normal... but sure feels a bit weird. :) [17:53] How can I set up some local domain/subdomains for my local install of apache. Only need to work for localhost access [17:53] Steffy, edit your /etc/hosts [17:53] Steve^, sorry see above [17:54] anyone having problem with network in Ubuntu-Intrepid [17:54] grawity: I assume it'll break down when I format the partition - for now, I've only touched (or rather, created) the partiton table on /dev/mmcblk0 [17:54] I am unable to do anything on my office workstation. It is not connecting now... [17:54] thanks xmnt [17:54] Steve^, n/p [17:54] ra21vi: have you done anything that you think led to the problem?

Like other APT front-ends, it can install/remove packages and their dependencies (on Dapper and earlier, however, only aptitude keeps track of unused dependencies). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptitudeSurvivalGuide [17:57] InfyGunFreak : my machine is shifted to other place. same building but other vlan now... and everything is picked up on DHCP (on every windows machine there).. my Ubuntu configured a new eth3 but not working.. I ggogled and found Ubuntu Intrepid has problem with Network manager. So I edited the /etc/network/interfaces /etc/hosts and /etc/resolv.conf .. what else I need to do.. [17:57] WishingMaster: well what graphics device are you uninstalling the drivers for?.. and why? [17:57] instructions were from this site: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC/Fixes [17:57] IndyGunFreak, i have installed wrong drivers [17:57] Steve^, yes you will need to setup virtual hosts in apache ... then in your hosts file: 127.0.0.1 site1.xmnt [17:57] nirvette, wait for it to install [17:57] WishingMaster: whats the card [17:57] hey all - I'm using Jaunty - how can I find out what my current xorg configuration is? /etc/X11/xorg.conf only has a few lines in it (I assume it's using xorg's auto config) [17:57] IndyGunFreak, my font size has gone to 0 [17:58] intel onboard [17:58] WishingMaster: that doesn't necessarily mean its a graphics driver problem.. [17:58] nirvette: follow the instructions after that command sudo m-a update ... prepare ... a-i alsa reboot [17:58] WishingMaster: how did you install the driver? [17:58] IndyGunFreak, the moment i installed and restarted the sys [17:58] fccf: hmm i don't get you [17:58] through repositories [17:59] WishingMaster: wel then just go back to the repos and uninstall them. [17:59] IndyGunFreak, but i don't know which ones to uninstall [17:59] hi [17:59] nirvette: you installed the module assistant .. which is in the instructions ... you need to do the rest of the commands [17:59] which one did you install? [17:59] >> Jaunty/9.04 hangs at "Configuring Network Interfaces..." on boot. I installed a new driver from RealTek for their RTL8187L chip, and now I get the hang. Anyone know what I can do to get around this, short of re-imaging my PC? [18:00] how can I open a .uif archive? [18:00] IndyGunFreak, what would be the command to reset my drivers [18:00] nirvette: did you Edit /etc/modules and add the line “snd-hda-intel model=auto” === OkropNick^ is now known as Okrop [18:00] no i didn't === Okrop is now known as OkropNick [18:01] * IndyGunFreak sighs... [18:01] nirvette: follow directions === exodus is now known as NeT_DeMoN [18:01] so i just copy and paste which lines after the module assistant donno what is installed? [18:01] well is there any way for system restore in ubuntu [18:01] uhh, no one is replying on my problem [18:01] good [18:02] Hello I seem to have a problem with apt-get after a failed install of liferea [18:02] http://paste2.org/p/419945 [18:02] tried everything.. nothing works [18:02] ok.. no answer here to my problem.. I think I am not one with Intrepid problem with Network Manager. :) thanks for listening to my issues. [18:02] nirvette: those are commands after module assistant (m-a) is installed .. you are running each of those once and rebooting ... edit /etc/modules first as root [18:02] Is it possible to set up LVM partition on a SD card? I cannot seem to manage it, when I try to use pvcreate I only get an error that device isn't found, or is ingored by the filters. I checked my filters but they seem ok... how do I debug this?

[18:03] anyone know of a nice pure commandline antivirus [18:03] oh gosh, i really donno how to do this [18:03] Ileden: I wouldn't see why not. You could partition the SD card, set up the new partition as you would a hard drive partition [18:03] never tried it myself tho [18:03] nirvette: I didn't when I started .. perhaps a little reading for you - consider it homework before coming back here www.ubuntupocketguide.com [18:03] SanityInAnarchy, use virtual interface to do that [18:04] Ileden: the only trick would be that you'd have to run vgchange -a y when you plugged in the sd card; other than that, I wouldn't see any problem with that [18:04] SanityInAnarchy, eth0:forDhcp [18:04] regeya: I currently have one partition, type set as Linux LVM on it.

[18:04] regeya: I tried the vgchange too, but it didn't do anything. [18:05] earthling: Ok, not sure how that helps with NetworkManager, though. [18:05] regeya: I've been trying to wade through that. it's indeed thorough :) [18:05] sing along you are talkin about grub boot loader ? [18:05] Ileden: Let me see if I understand you right, though. Did you partition it, set it as LVM in fdisk (or whatever you used) and that's it? If so, you're not even close yet :-> [18:05] * regeya looks forward to the day when lvm isn't necessary [18:05] regeya: um... yes. [18:05] nirvette: until you can understand everything in the eeepc/fixes no... we arn't going to hold your hand ... perhaps Xandros might be a better OS for you [18:06] earthling: ... are you saying I'd define that in /etc/network/interfaces? [18:06] nirvette: xandros was made for the EEEpc [18:06] hi [18:06] nirvette you can also try eeebuntu might save you some headaches [18:06] I need help printing to a RICOH 3035 in CUPS, I found two drivers, but I can't get it to print with staples, any ideas? [18:06] fccf: thanks. oh well, maybe i should just try to recover my lost partition and go back to windows [18:07] SanityInAnarchy, on adding that from command prompt is that not showing up in the list of interfaces in the network manager?

[18:08] earthling: Adding from command prompt, how? And again, how does this help my problem? I don't need another virtual interface. I want to use udhcpc with the one I've got, instead of dhclient. [18:08] regeya: I've been using instructions from this guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpLVM-WithoutACleanInstall [18:08] vigo: ok, from my understanding, the default is in /var/log/Xorg.0.log then? the 'built-in configuration' part?

She'll have better luck, [18:10] Eh, I guess I can live without NetworkManager. The real problem I'm having is "iwconfig wlan0 essid foo" is working in some places, and not others. 'foo' shows up in iwlist, and setting manually with 'iwconfig wlan0 ap 11:22:33...' works.

[19:37] because i just went there and they told me so, i gotta get it out [19:37] Tenoch: I was under the impression that you could only install the cli system from either the minimal or server CDs [19:37] Guest3261, if thats the OS you wish to use, make a bootable XP USB stick [19:38] Guest3261, or use an external CD drive [19:38] Pici: if there is already 2-3 gigs cached to swap, which in some sitiuations is possible, and you write the ram to swap, you'll need more than that [19:38] abend [19:38] Guest3261, if you installed ubuntu onto the machine then you must know this [19:38] is it the bootable xp usb i need or the recovery xp [19:38] fccf: I suppose... but 8gb of swap on a server is overkill, no server should have to hibernate. === JonJ_ is now known as JonJ [19:38] Pici: good point [19:39] PC-Ente: Gute morgen... :-) [19:39] Guest3261: We cannot support Windows here, please use ##windows [19:39] bwaaaaaaa [19:39] !de | PC-Ente [19:39] PC-Ente: In den meisten ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen.

Do you use the human theme (the default i think) or human clearlooks? where is the difference? the only difference i found is that in the taskbar, the current task is a bit lighter. [19:41] * duffydack uses Dust [19:41] fccf, if I try sudo ifconfig tap0 ip_adress up [19:41] Pici: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LowMemorySystems says that alternate should have what i need, and that server is not the same [19:41] <{g}> duffydack: why? [19:41] fccf, I get No such device [19:41] Tenoch: If you intend to put xorg on the computer use the minimal CD, otherwise the server iso. The server install uses a different kernel that does not have support for most proprietary video cards. [19:42] {g}, I use dust [19:42] {g}, same reason I go for redheads more than blondes. [19:42] I like dust too - except firefox support isn't really good [19:42] adac: you are obviously wanting to tunnel ... that device has to be mapped [19:42] PolitikerNEU, how so? [19:42] gnome colors are my favorite themes [19:43] the shiki colors themes look pretty nice [19:43] Tenoch: Thats because the LiveCD loads the desktop into the system's ram, which wouldnt be possible on computers with specifications that low. They're describing the install process are command line, it still installs the GUI version of Ubuntu in the end. [19:43] duffydack: Last time I tested the firefox menu text was black while it was white in all other applications [19:43] gandhi, tried em, dont like em [19:43] me, to each their own [19:43] i like em [19:43] PolitikerNEU, not like that now. [19:44] duffydack: Ok, I'll try again now :-) [19:44] Tenoch: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD is a better method for installing a cli system from scratch [19:44] i just installed 9.04 with ext4 [19:44] pretty damn fast [19:44] PolitikerNEU, I been using it since hardy, cant say ive noticed a problem...

It says "Windows Vista (Loader)" and only says it's 100MB in size. What's the deal? [19:45] where firefox's menu texts are black [19:46] Where are the fstab logs located created during startup ? [19:46] gandhi: you might want to use a different keyserver ... keyserver.ubuntu.com has had some problems as of late ... pool.sks-keyservers.net works ... takes 5-10 min to update to launchpad [19:46] if my ubuntu wont boot or my drive has problems what logs should i check? [19:46] Watchitnow, is that Wubi? [19:46] bucky: I set it with nvidia settings manager, and saved it to xorg.conf through that... I did this under root (gksudo), but everytime it starts, 800x600... [19:46] ah really? [19:47] thanks for the tip [19:47] wcGary83, have you set it in System=>Preferences=>Display [19:47] bucky: No. Normal install. [19:47] gandhi: np [19:47] Where are the fstab logs located created during startup ? [19:47] I burnt a data disc on my ubuntu machine, when i try to open the disc on a mac, it tells me the disc is blank. I can open the disc just find on my ubuntu machine, what gives? [19:47] hmm.. [19:47] bucky: i tried, but it sends me to nvidia... [19:47] join irc.krakow.pl [19:47] plz..Where are the fstab logs located created during startup ?

[19:53] jiffe: /var/run is a system folder and is updated all the time ... making a directory there is useless [19:53] syrius: terms like "nigga" are not welcome here.

[19:54] ok [19:55] Guys I wanna install ubuntu but the install disk isn't detecting Win7. It says "Windows Vista (Loader)" and only says it's 100MB in size. What's the deal? === Zopiac|Zzz is now known as Zopiac [19:56] 7 creates a 100mn partition as of now from i can see. [19:56] Perhaps a boot partition. [19:56] Watchitnow: I think windows 7 are using the same loader as windows vista, which is why it is detected that way [19:56] But the install disk isn't detecting the NTFS partition Win7 is on. [19:57] I have installed windows 7 and ubuntu side by side and it works just fine [19:57] I would worry about that after the install. [19:57] What if it deletes the Win7 installation? [19:57] err [19:57] syrius: can you tell what color anybody here is? respecting one color may be disrespectful to another.... keep to the spirit of ubuntu (humanity to others) ... which means respecting those who spend hours everyday helping people like you without regard to race, creed, sex, national origin, or arch choice [19:57] Its only detecting the boot-loader ? [19:57] It wont unless you allow it to. [19:57] andcor: Yes. [19:57] It's not detecting the actual partition. [19:58] VickiWong: dmesg / kernel log / system log [19:58] ok, and you are looking at the partition editor ? [19:58] in the system manager.....whats the difference between free hdd space and available hdd space [19:58] Not right now. I booted back into Windows to come here :P [19:58] What is the command to create text file a, who's contents is test [19:58] I usually try to stay away from multiple installs on the same Disk. [19:58] Thats always risky stuff on my eyes [19:59] representin' my colorahs [19:59] hey guys, can sb recommend me a good backup soft [19:59] ctmjr, thanks [19:59] Mitsurugi; i'm using rsync [19:59] Unless you are 100% sure the proper partition is being used for the install. [19:59] Ubuntu will usually ask you before wiping it [19:59] I'm almost 100% sure it isn't. [20:00] I've never seen this and I've done tens of ubuntu installs. [20:00] hmm [20:00] try again and take a screenshot of the partition editor. [20:00] last Watchitnow [20:00] !backup | Mitsurugi [20:00] Mitsurugi: There are many ways to back your system up.

[20:00] simplexio: What? [20:00] Watchitnow: ok, I actually can't remember if the ubuntu install actually saw the win 7 partition when i installed [20:00] literrlay 8 hours of possible SYN flooding [20:01] literaly* [20:01] just wanted to see what you were saying [20:01] Watchitnowm yeah, i will have to do the same thing as you soon, maybe i'll learn a thing or 2 from you.

[20:12] I have problem with apt-get [20:12] WatchItNow: The safest thing to do is allways to do it manually [20:13] it download the same packages several time [20:13] ikonia: no I had xubuntu previously, I installed a new base system into the new partiotion. Then I removed the old grub from previous xubuntu. Not as I update-grub into base system, it still keeps the chain to grub 2 into menu.1st file. WHy ? [20:13] about 100-120 [20:13] andcor: 2 screens? [20:13] ezegys: grub2 ? [20:13] bhychik: you can try "sudo apt-get autoremove --purge" to remove any unnecessary packages [20:13] about what % does gzipping a tar file reduce the file size?

[20:15] I am new to ubuntu [20:16] mouka: there should be a package you can install to do that. i think it might be kubuntu-desktop [20:16] so option twinview none .... again see man wacom ... should help you [20:16] ikonia: Its not version actually, they both are grub 0.97 [20:16] mouka: I'm a little sketchy but it a simple apt-get ought to install it, switching would be more complicated google switching to KDE and that should have a tutorial [20:16] I'm trying to increase my boot speed on my 1000he. I was reading that you can disable unnecessary kernel modules. How would I go about doing that? Also, what would be the best way to stop unnecessary services? [20:16] mouka: in a terminal type sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [20:16] andcor: So just making the NTFS partition smaller would fix this? I'm sort of worried after that first screen got it horrible wrong.

This could be a disk issue, or possibly the motherboard controller. The DOS tool should be bootable i.e. it doesn't rely on the operating system... [20:18] WatchItNow: and then after you have resized the ntfs partition to make room for linux you should choose to setup the partitions manually, and then you should ensure that you have around 1-2 GB of swap disk and the rest mounted as / [20:19] losher, thhanks ill make a bootable copy :) [20:19] ezegys: thats menu.lst with an L not 1 [20:19] VickiWong: been there.

[20:48] hej [20:48] what hardware are you running it on? maybe vbox knows i'm on a laptop or it hates the copmpany that made my computer or something [20:48] If innociv ran the rm -rf as non-root (s)he shouldn't need to recreate /tmp.

[20:57] *packages [20:58] andcor: can i do chroot with live cd and then run the dmesg === SudoQueen is now known as SudoKing [20:59] nope, but you might just be able to see the /var/log/syslog [20:59] shawndrost: I think that means the latest repo version is 2.2.11. If you want a later version, you'll have to download it from somewhere else. Open synaptic & search for apache2 to confirm...

[21:08] Tracking cookies are not the business of the underlying operating system. [21:08] got this noob in my face threatening me with a virus attack, and I don't know how he got my Gmail address [21:09] @GuidMorrow as long as you dont download anything or execute something in root mode, you should be safe. [21:09] !virus [21:09] A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [21:09] only thing that can happen is that your "user data" which is not root only access can be damaged.

[21:11] http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [21:12] did anyone notice that if you remove human icon theme, it removes gnome power manager??? Why is that? [21:13] @GuidMorrow I wouldn't be alarmed too much. Get Firestarter, monitor your Ports and Connections and terminate them on demand. [21:13] With Linux you are very safe. [21:13] o.o is that you 'removed' some packages which involved with the grome theme?

[21:17] ah, 7.10 [21:17] anli_: 7.10 is no longer supported [21:17] anli_: you should probably upgrade to 8.04 [21:17] anli_: 7.10 isn't supported anymore, so the repos have been taken offline. You should upgrade to 8.04 (which is still supporting, being LTS) [21:18] Can I upgrade apt so it uses the newer packages? [21:18] anli_: no [21:18] anli_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardyUpgrades [21:18] anli_: you must upgrade to a newer version of ubuntu [21:18] but reinstalling the system is not an option [21:18] hm [21:18] ok [21:19] anli_: you don't need to reinstall [21:19] aha [21:19] anli_: there is a procedure for upgrading in place [21:19] aha [21:19] hm, I have to reboot the system then [21:20] @anli_ new kernel requires always a reboot.

[21:21] yes, but on the same system [21:21] in the same virtual space [21:21] anli_: change every instance of archive.ubuntu.com to old-releases.ubuntu.com in /etc/apt/sources.list and apt-get update .. then apt-get do-release-upgrade ... you will be up to Hardy 8.04 LTS [21:21] fccf: thats cool [21:21] @anli_ upgrade to jaunty jack?

[21:28] axisys: there is also apt-file list packagename [21:28] i did networking restart [21:28] balzac: they should take effect immediately [21:28] they do not [21:28] sometimes yes, sometimes no [21:28] anli: yes, still old-releases.ubuntu.com ...

[21:30] is this a bug? [21:30] axisys: it must be installed separately [21:30] is it seahorse related?

[23:02] Bluey: 32bit and ubuntu 9.04 [23:02] random disconnects [23:02] hey all [23:02] what happened to the lyrics tab in Rhythmbox? it's vanished.. why? [23:02] @G-man: Did you install the nvidia driver? [23:02] what file is it in Ubuntu that controls the hostname and DNS settings? [23:02] Waseem: Then its not advanced enough. Buy a new one [23:02] Casandrax, err what? [23:02] xover try TightVNC client in WINE [23:02] unr3a1: hosts? [23:02] mengu -- I have had some issues with flash but I run 64 bit - sometimes closing and re-opening ff will fix the problem - or you can try the "windows magic trick" - [23:02] yes i typed sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-180 [23:02] i downloaded that already [23:03] danbhfive1, yea [23:03] @unr3a1: /etc/hosts [23:03] Casandrax: please stay helpful [23:03] kk [23:03] ty [23:03] Bluey: the windows magic trick? [23:03] losher -- logoff/log back in [23:03] Waseem: I thought you wanted to bring downed boxes to life with modem callbacks. Just get a new wireless router then [23:03] BlackDalek, well.. tehre is only a window :-/ no tab [23:03] Bluey: oh, right... [23:03] Why not use the restricted drivers dialog? [23:03] the fixes a multitude of problems sometimes [23:03] Casandrax, I think you have me confused with someone else's request. [23:04] how do i install the driver? [23:04] losher and it really costs nothing.... [23:04] Waseem: No [23:04] System > Administraton > Restricted Drivers [23:04] i have a problem, i'm using xfce on jaunty, and now my screen goes black after 20secs. wtf? === KDE4000 is now known as KDE4000|XChat [23:04] $ gnome-terminal [23:04] Failed to contact the GConf daemon; exiting. [23:04] ^ how do i fix that? [23:04] I am trying to remember [23:05] (xterm is hideous and weak) [23:05] Michalxo, there used to be a tab for lryics when you viewed properties of a song in Rhythmbox - now it is gone [23:05] Waseem: Youll see this later on when you get to work on a bit bigger systems. Have fun! [23:05] i dont have a restricted drivers tab [23:05] under system/admin [23:05] Casandrax, you have me mixed up with someone else. [23:05] Waseem: Youbot [23:05] gman - I've had little luck trying to set the nvidia x server settings [23:06] is there a xfce support channel? [23:06] osotogari, danbhfive1, there was a way that I was able to set ubuntu to automatically over write my hosts file so I could always have custom dns servers setup. but I do not remember how I did it, as it was quite a while ago. do either of you know? [23:06] Casandrax, I have a laptop which keeps freezing with ubuntu.. [23:06] Can some recommend a partition manager that is not gparted, it does not work on my system [23:06] and im trying to fix that. [23:06] BlackDalek, well.. go to View -> Song lyrics // ctrl + L [23:06] Circs: fdisk, cfdisk [23:06] Waseem: PCMCIA card ? [23:06] Circs: fdisk is probably your next best choice... [23:06] maybe i should just uninstall/reinstall xubuntu? [23:06] unr3a1: I think hosts is the wrong place for DNS servers [23:06] can someone tell me where to individually download packes from? [23:06] i remember it working with xubuntu [23:06] @ unr3a1: no idea dude, but id be interested to know how as well [23:06] I am having the same trouble with Xserver resolution! [23:07] Casandrax, sorry i dont think your a real person, you dont seem to be making any sense to me. [23:07] Waseem: Get an usb wireless adapter that works with linux [23:07] gman - does gnome come up? [23:07] Michalxo, that option no longer exists either.. it is greyed out now. [23:07] SilAmeth, you could use Synaptic [23:07] what do you mean does it come up [23:07] It will just not save the settings upon restart! [23:07] danbhfive1 losher thanks [23:07] where do i click gnome at? [23:07] gman - do you get a login screen? [23:07] have to get for a computer that is offline [23:07] Yes [23:07] so any other recommendations for my flash problem? [23:07] i cannot watch youtube, cannot read scribd. [23:07] the resolution was actually decent, when i typed username/password [23:08] unr3a1: I thought resolv.conf was the place for that. The only thing I know is how to setup DNS caching on a PC [23:08] but when i log in , it gets gigantic [23:08] whenever i try to run gnome-terminal, i get the error message "Failed to contact the GConf daemon; exiting.". How do I fix this? [23:08] If I have a box here on my network running ubuntu can I block it accessing the interenet? [23:08] tried synaptic but does not say where it downloaded to [23:08] gman -- okay hang on privite message ok? [23:08] okay [23:08] unr3a1: do you mean overwrite /etc/resolv.conf. That's usually how dhcp manages dns service... [23:08] thank you so much [23:08] mengu_: uninstal all flash plugins, nicluding gnash and swfdec [23:08] danbhfive1, osotogari, maybe not. I had the ubuntu install on my old hard drive setup that way, because a router I frequently connect to has a default domain resolution setting of www.search.net which is a very annoying malware site. [23:08] BlackDalek, well.. it works for me in KArmic, latest updates [23:08] losher, yes... I want to overwrite the resolv.conf at every startup [23:09] Waseem: Im sorry, i think we began at different levels of thought. Me thinking you wanted ISP stuff and you misinterpreted my replies. USB will be much better as PCMCIA is going away and you can move the usb thing to newer computers etc. [23:09] with a custom one. [23:09] BlackDalek, try googling a bit.. maybe you'll get some hits [23:09] hello, how can i install graphic driver so the picture will be much better? [23:09] unr3a1: are you using dhcp? [23:09] yes [23:09] Aijsel did you catch that [23:09] hello, I'm having problems with running the ubuntu trial from the cd. I'm trying to dual-boot to a laptop. I read some thing about users having no problems using the desktop os with laptop computers [23:09] can someone help? [23:09] anyone? i need some help! [23:09] losher, yes, I use DHCP, but I want to overwrite specifically the DNS settings of the resolv.conf file [23:10] losher, it was some startup thing I did. [23:10] Casandrax, I see, I understand what your saying now. However I have had the wifi adaptor work before and would like to attempt to fix it before purchasing a wifi usb adaptor. [23:10] SilAmeth, I did but im afraid I don't have a clue how to do it without internet connection [23:10] ActionParsnip: and then? [23:10] losher, so that every time I booted up, the resolv.conf and /etc/hosts got overwritten with customized files. [23:10] mengu_: run: sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [23:10] archman [23:10] could you help please [23:11] well, by overwriting the resolv.conf file, it automatically adjusts the hosts file if I am remembering correctly. [23:11] @ unr3a1: you could write a script to do it [23:11] SilAmeth, LOL [23:11] has anyone used freenx before? [23:11] osotogari, yea, but I do not remember the script or where it would be in the old filesystem [23:11] i keep getting authentication failed [23:11] SilAmeth, can you help ?:D [23:11] if I could find it, I could just copy it over [23:11] btw what is the linux kernal? [23:11] ActionParsnip: i searched for flash on package manager. only swfdec-mozilla and libswfdec-0.8.0 is installed [23:11] ActionParsnip: i'm removing them and doing what you've said. [23:12] osotogari, where would I have to put a script like that?

[23:12] Waseem: Check the messages / syslog and see if there are troubles. Gather as much info/fact as you can and talk to someone with knowledge. If knowledge and you feels its a bug then file a bug report, possibly to the kernel mailinglists. Cant help you more then this atm. [23:12] Waseem: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KERNAL [23:12] mengu_: uninstall that and install the nonfree [23:12] I come from gentoo, I don't know how to install linux from gui :D [23:12] hello, how can i install graphic driver so the picture will be much better?

[23:13] osotogari, do you know? [23:13] lol [23:13] mengu_: you need to close synaptic [23:13] i closed the package manager [23:13] ActionParsnip: can't I use the normal cd? [23:13] mengu_: hilarious [23:13] ActionParsnip: what's the diffeence on the alternative cd [23:13] how can someone update the kernal? and how can i not update it when updating stuff? [23:13] tokam1: if you want, both are ok [23:13] @ unr3a1: hmmm, ineresting. maybe have a read of this http://www.linux-noob.com/forums/index.php?/topic/1775-resolv-conf-is-overwritten-on-reboot/ [23:13] unr3a1: I think it's supposed to be done via an /etc/dhcp3/dhclient-exit-hooks script. See man dhclient-script [23:13] action the alternative cd is a text based install [23:13] are you sure these viruses/spyware won't infect linux/unix [23:14] action for machines that hover about 256 meg of ram [23:14] hello, how can i install graphic driver so the picture will be much better? [23:14] tokam1: desktop lets you try it live, the alternate just installs in in a text environment [23:14] GuidMorrow: Yes' [23:14] alright [23:14] mengu_: you cannot have synaptic open AND use apt-get [23:14] mgv1: what graphic card? [23:14] well for one thing, how did someone get my email address [23:14] thanks, i just got that :P [23:15] ActionParsnip: can i write the config files my self there? [23:15] the grub.conf and so on.. [23:15] GuidMorrow: I asked you to paste the email + headers. Did you ever do that? === anthony is now known as G-man [23:15] @ unr3a1: is that something like you were looking for? [23:15] ctmjr: i don't know this is an portable pc [23:15] tokam1: config files for what? [23:15] whose email [23:16] GuidMorrow: Spamgatherers, or your friends windows computer was infected with an email harvester "virus"- [23:16] hey guys is each version of ubuntu using an updated kernal? [23:16] or a new kernal [23:16] yes, mostly [23:16] GuidMorrow: wasn't it you who said you'd received an email threatening to infect your machine? [23:16] so if i was to be using one and said "i updated the kernal" would that mean i updated my ubuntu OS? [23:16] osotogari, well, that keeps it from being overwritten, and that works for the resolv.conf file, but I if I remember correctly, the /etc/hosts file still gets overwritten by the DHCP server, which would still effect the local loopback to look at www.search.net [23:16] Waseem: they use a different revision of the kernel [23:16] osotogari, that is similar though, yes, it is a setting in a file somewhere [23:16] mgv1: type this in a terminal lspci | grep -i vga [23:16] you know what... [23:16] losher: I think it was. [23:17] Waseem: the kernel is what makes ubuntu, linux. the kernel IS linux, the stuff around it is the distribution [23:17] I think it has something to do with what losher pointed to... dhcp3 [23:17] Waseem: mandriva uses the same linux kernel, just has different apps around it [23:17] ActionParsnip: glibc and gcc etc etc is equally important. [23:17] i see, i dont quite understand but hopefully i will eventually. [23:18] My rhythmbox lyrics plugin seems to be broken.. Also, I've noticed the "jump to playing song" option has also been greyed out. [23:18] unr3a1: so you dont want your hosts file to be over written? [23:18] ctmjr: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) [23:18] there is a windows machine on this wireless network, I just scanned it for spyware, now why would it still be keylogging stuff [23:18] Casandrax: funny how he seems to disappear whenever you ask for details... [23:18] thats it..... [23:18] unr3a1: try this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=372420 [23:18] osotogari, losher, its the dhclient.conf file in /etc/dhcp3 [23:18] personally nobody should be asking for details unless ... [23:19] mgv1: and what ubuntu are you using [23:19] YOU'RE A SPAMMER! [23:19] osotogari, losher, now i remember. you change the settings in that to pull the DHCP server for certain information, but then generate its own for other settings such as DNS, and local loopback. [23:19] GuidMorrow: let's just be careful who's calling whom a spammer, ok? [23:19] losher: they are unable, they are different those softers. not utilizing their brains. [23:19] @ unr3al: excellent stuff. [23:19] ;) [23:20] GuidMorrow: or a troll [23:20] osotogari, losher, thank you both. [23:20] is it possible to upgrade 8.04 to 9.04? [23:20] unr3a1: there's a supersede option you can use in dhclient.conf, presumably it will override the dns setting... [23:20] osotogari, losher, thats awesome. now I dont have to worry about www.search.net anymore... YAY [23:20] losher, yea, I just need to copy the dhclient.conf file from my old ubuntu filesystem [23:20] I get a dialog that 'authentication required by wireless network' ... how do I make it remember the password I have set?

[23:21] this is on server so no gui [23:21] Ubuntu sucks! Windows for life! Microsoft owns you all! [23:21] osotogari, yes, its awesome, and i thank you for your help. of course, I just realized that this conf file does not run at startup, it runs when dhclient pulls DHCP for info.

It's supported which means it still gets security fixes etc. but no new features. This makes is very stable & reliable, just what you want on a server. Upgrading for no reason is pointless...

[23:31] Themi: does it say "no nvidia driver loaded" or similar? [23:31] Good night, let tomorrow be a day full off ... [23:31] no, it is working [23:31] assumedalive: No, it was a brownout, and I'm on a desktop at the moment. [23:31] ly, it looks like it is hard. i checked the links, and that's definitely not simple to check.. [23:32] Themi: no error messages? [23:32] no [23:32] Strife1989: ah ok, well anyway, yeah, test with windows, if the same shit happens its a hardware issue, if its a ubuntu specific thing better report it to the kernel devs [23:32] assumedalive: I finally got my laptop to boot by removing the battery and waiting for a bit, then putting it back. [23:32] is there a way to get Adobe flash in ubuntu 9.04 64bit to work with pulseaudio? [23:32] !ohmy | assumedalive [23:32] assumedalive: 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. Basically, this means no foul language and no abuse towards others. [23:32] assumedalive: The Suspen issue has never happened with Windows. [23:32] Themi: then you can click display configuration and setup your displays [23:33] assumedalive: And I've put Windows on Standby _a lot_. [23:33] can someone help me by pm installing a driver [23:33] MY one monitor is disabled?!!? [23:33] losher: Yeah, im always taking it cool with them for quite some time, because lets face it. Skilled people is what we want. [23:33] How do I enable it? [23:33] !pm | aleron6 [23:33] hi, can anyone tell me the best way to disable cpu frequency scaling?

Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [23:33] Themi: yuo can now enable it [23:33] howe? [23:33] i have absolutely no experience with command line. how do i check the iso without command line? [23:33] Strife1989: get any error messages at all on the console after suspend/resume? [23:33] If I have a box here on my network running ubuntu can I block it accessing the internet? [23:33] would disabling the powernowd be a good way to do it? this is on a desktop---actually a media server [23:34] losher: Eventually theyll see the benefits of using other systems, such as linux. [23:34] how? [23:34] assumedalive: I see them, but I'm hard pressed to remember them. [23:34] finally [23:34] Themi: click the disabled monitor square and then you will see some form of enable option [23:34] i have ubuntu set up the way i want [23:34] rubyiris: we can walk you thru the command line stuff. It's not so hard. Got the CD inserted? [23:34] assumedalive: However, I see similar messaged on bootup to Ubuntu. [23:34] Themi: yuo may need to click detect displays a few times [23:34] rubyiris: in what system did you burn that iso? [23:34] s/messaged/messages [23:34] if anyone knows how to make flash work with pulseaudio please let me know [23:34] just one other question [23:34] Strife1989: hmm, be worth finding out what they say or nobody will have any idea what your problem is [23:34] what is the program to launch the file browser? [23:34] i just wish i could let nautilus draw icons and stuff on my desktop and still use compiz for the desktop backgrounds [23:35] Seperate X Screen or Twin view? [23:35] i burned it using nero on a xp machine. [23:35] Themi: its all there for you, that one app will set you up nicely. nvidia cards are awesome in linux (and for that fact, any OS) [23:35] guess you can't have both though [23:35] Strife1989: also disclaimer: im pretty wasted atm so my help might not be that useful [23:35] Themi: whatever suits your needs [23:35] assumedalive: I'll try to have a camera ready next time I use it. [23:35] unr3a1: nautilus is the traditional one. lots of options though [23:35] ah [23:35] thank you [23:35] unr3a1: safe to say that nautilus is likely installed [23:35] IS twin view basicvaly where you have 2 screens and it is showing u the same thing? [23:35] gandhi: you can have desktop icons if you dont mind the same wallpaper on each side [23:35] rubyiris: if you talk to someone please put the nick in front, so we get alerted [23:35] Themi: yes [23:36] ActionParsnip, i know that [23:36] @ ActionParsnip: Rocking an nvidia here, its rock solid, except for that annoying flicker once in a while [23:36] but i want different wallpapers and icons [23:36] osotogari: no problem here tbh [23:36] and the tuts i saw, the patches they had up are gone now [23:36] well i located the drivers for my video card i just need someonre to help me heres the link that says my video card is supported http://intellinuxgraphics.org/documentation.html its an 82815 Chipset Graphics Controller short named 815 [23:36] Only when running compiz is when i get the flicker [23:36] SEperate X then just spreads out the sreen accross two monitors I assume?!?!
