[00:01] RJARRRPCGP: yep you're in the wrong channel, if there's an ossv4 channel ask in there, if not, post in the ossv4 post in the forums. you wont get help for it here because its pretty non-standard [00:01] RJARRRPCGP: so go to oss4's website and read the linux how to [00:01] m_law: The one you like the brest.

[00:02] easily [00:02] RJARRRPCGP: its your own goddamn fault for choosing a non-standard sound system, go and get help from the people who actually know about oss4 rather than spamming in here [00:02] I heard that OSS 4 is better.

[00:07] RJARRRPCGP: that sound device is sorta lame. If you have a program tring to do OSS with it.. your only going to get one PCM stream at a time.. (No hardware mixing) .. To get multipule sound streams your application needs to use alsa dmix or pulse. [00:07] Makes me want Karmic Koala more ;) [00:07] RJARRRPCGP: alsa works perfect for most stuff man, you dont need to go messing around with oss [00:07] erUSUL: seems to work just fine otherwise though, but ok.

[00:47] pvvni, how can I do that? [00:47] smogattack: Just modify the 'old' windows xp one to point to the windows 7 partition [00:47] jennistin: so to recap: the client works with other servers, the server works with other clients. Just not with each other, but they do swap packets initially? [00:47] knasto: NP, did that work for you? [00:48] smogattack: pastie what it has right now [00:48] archman, your psp version? [00:48] pvvni, okay, hang on [00:48] Jennistin: if that's the one that lets you play dvds, then yes i do. have watched several dvds from disk and from iso. what's weired is that one dvd copied fine, and i struggled with two others [00:48] xikteny, yes it works perfectly (i was looking at the volume control applet on my panel instead of sound) [00:49] losher: Correct, they establish a connection and then the client stops responding and Putty times out [00:49] is fsck the program to use to diagnose a hard drive corruption? [00:49] pvvni, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/268269/ [00:49] andyzammy: What are you using to grab the ISO's? [00:49] Im using ubuntu minimal to be as light as possible and I was wondering if there was a messenger like pidgin only lighter? [00:49] pvvni, I don't know what those generic entries are either === ctmjr_ is now known as ctmjr [00:50] the gnome "right click copy disk to iso" thingy :P [00:50] Lunatic: It depends on what chat services you want to use, but Gnome's gossip and PSI are good [00:50] I'm just going to be using it for the most common ones, MSN, Yahoo, AIM. [00:51] smogattack: the win7 install is on the same drive the xp one was on right [00:51] Lunatic: I think Gossip supports all of those, but it may be in beta [00:51] pvvni, yeah, same drive as XP [00:51] whats PSI? [00:51] Lunatic: Its a jabber app. like Pidgin, Google PSI Jabber [00:52] smogattack: k, what probably happened, is when you installed win7 it created a new partition (windows 7 adds a partition similar to linux's swap) [00:52] smogattack: that partition took over the sda1 mount where xp used to be [00:52] is there one not tied to GTK+ and QT? [00:52] jennistin: Anything you've not told me? What kind of authentication is it? Where in the exchange does the client stop responding? I think you're going to have to run debug on the server to get any further... [00:52] Lunatic: PSI not GTK or QT [00:52] !info psi [00:52] psi (source: psi): Jabber client using Qt. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.12-2ubuntu1 (jaunty), package size 2840 kB, installed size 6800 kB [00:53] smogattack: try chaning the (hd0,0) to (hd0,1) [00:53] Hello! My ubuntu test print is ok, but when printing from any application the colors look strange(or missing). It's a canon i550, I'm using the closest driver available, i560. So what can i do? [00:53] pvvni, I was just going to ask that. lol [00:53] oh, your right, I was looking at the wrong thing. awesome [00:53] pvvni, should i double check with partition editor? [00:53] smogattack: sure, open a terminal and type parted [00:53] er [00:53] sudo parted [00:54] losher: It is password authentication. I can send you the packet log if you want to see where it stops responding. I think I'm going to have to run debug too since I have no other options. [00:54] smogattack: use /dev/sda [00:54] smogattack: p [00:54] jennistin: I'd be willing to look at a packet log if want to pastebin it. No promises though... [00:54] Lunatic: apparently PSI does use QT... nevermind, I use it on Windows [00:55] smogattack: quit [00:55] ah, dang it! [00:55] losher: k, I'll grab it [00:55] smogattack: (those commands, in that order. Copy/paste/pastie the results) [00:56] l [00:56] pvvni, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/268277/ [00:56] Lunatic: how about bitlbee or finch? [00:56] oi [00:56] will they run yahoo/aim/msn? [00:56] hi [00:57] pvvni, it's the 1049kB 21.5GB 21.5GB primary ntfs which is number 2,1. lol [00:57] on top of my dvd copy problem i have another. yesterday morning i managed to copy over a couple of folders to my psp (via usb cable), but yesterday evening, i couldn't do it - ubuntu threw an error saying that the psp was mounted as a read-only filesystem === PauLoAndre[ja_vo is now known as PauloAndre [00:57] how can i fix this? [00:58] hmm, bitlbee seems interesting [00:58] losher: http://pastebin.com/pastebin.php?dl=d61913234 [00:58] Lunatic: they should... check and see [00:58] Lunatic: yeah, it's pretty neat if you are always on irc anyway [01:00] I'll try them both anyhow, many thanks! [01:00] pvvni, so I should change (hd0,1) to /dev/sda1? [01:01] smogattack: hrmmm [01:01] smogattack: no dont mess with the /dev/sda1 [01:01] smogattack: that line is commented out [01:01] smogattack: so it doesnt do anything [01:02] smogattack: did you upgrade to 7 from xp? [01:02] andyzammy: I have no idea for the USB jumping to read-only, but what are you using to grab the ISO's? [01:02] pvvni, maybe I should just try changing (hd0,0) to hd0,1 like you said [01:02] pvvni, clean install [01:02] can I do a wireless install with mini.iso? [01:02] smogattack: weird, it usually creates an extra partition [01:03] jennistin: i just right-click the dvd and select copy disk [01:03] is there any way to load the wireless drivers during installation? [01:03] pvvni, yeah, I'm stumped looking at the grub [01:03] smogattack: yea try that, though I now doubt that it will work. [01:03] andyzammy: for the DVD copy problem, are you just copying them to the hard disk, or do you eventually want to burn the back to DVD? [01:03] jennistin: Oh, I was expecting a lower level trace with SYN/ACK etc. if I read this trace right, the client sends a SYN (presumably) to the server, the server responds with an ACK, and that's the last thing that happens. I'm not even sure the client sees the ACK. Can the server even talk to the client through the firewall? [01:03] join #php-es [01:03] just updated to 9.04, i had this issue with 6.10 also... everytime i complete all the security updates, ubuntu crashes and when i reboot.. it starts up in tty [01:03] what can i do to install all the security updates and not crash? [01:04] rww: i just want to copy to HD. i have no special dvds to copy iso's > 4.7 Gb [01:04] andyzammy: Have you tried dvd::rip? [01:04] awesome. Finally got around to fixing my problem, turns out i had 8.10 when ubuntu was working right. [01:04] so thanks to all those that helped. [01:05] andyzammy: newer commercial dvds have all sorts of ridiculous copy prevention hacks. The only sure-fire method of copying is to use windows AnyDVD which doesn't run on wine... [01:05] andyzammy: I'd strongly recommend the dvdbackup package/program, then. In combination with libdvdcss (I can link you instructions for getting that if you don't have them) it works perfect for me :) [01:05] losher: Sorry I only sent you the tail of it. The server does send the server version which the client receives [01:05] man, linux is so d*mn awesome! [01:05] hey is there a way to change system's default encoding? [01:05] jennistin: no i haven't. tbh i just wanted to do this using current method. is there no workaround? i guess if not i'll try some other proggies but i thought that since it came "out of the box" it would just work [01:05] skapism_, I agree. when it works its the best. [01:06] jennistin: any chance of a more complete trace? [01:06] Waseem: for me it has hardly ever not worked [01:06] just updated to 9.04, i had this issue with 6.10 also... everytime i complete all the security updates, ubuntu crashes and when i reboot.. it starts up in tty [01:06] what can i do to install all the security updates and not crash? [01:06] ah, i see [01:06] losher: http://pastebin.com/pastebin.php?dl=d48676980 here's the whole thing [01:06] skapism_, cant say the same, I have rarely had it without a problem but still once I iron out the kinks. [01:06] its too good. [01:06] hello, someone told me i would be ok if i deleted my vhosts... as far as i know i don't use them (never configured them), but now i get a vhost warning when starting apache... everything still works, but warnings scare me.. should i be concerned? [01:06] quick question, how do I clear my DNS caches in ubuntu [01:06] hi guys i am having an xnest issue, when i try to run it over ssh i get this > Fatal server error: [01:06] Unable to open display "". [01:06] losher: 192 is the server, 162 is the client [01:06] meoblast001: what's the text of the warning? [01:06] Waseem: I think for the most users it's ok oftb [01:07] ootb+ [01:07] skapism_, really depends on the hardware. [01:07] ok, thanks for the help everyone. would someone be able to help me with my usb readonly filesystem problem? [01:07] Anybody know the command line to start gdm configure? [01:07] Waseem: true [01:08] andyzammy: what's the filesystem on it? ntfs, fat32, ext3...? [01:08] rww: one second [01:08] just updated to 9.04, i had this issue with 6.10 also... everytime i complete all the security updates, ubuntu crashes and when i reboot.. it starts up in tty [01:08] what can i do to install all the security updates and not crash? [01:09] rww: http://codepad.org/8yIfJJL2 [01:09] ok before i mess up anything, how can I set up my 8.10 ubuntu so that it updates stuff but no major updates to the kernal/OS [01:09] ? [01:09] rww: i believe its fat32. its my psp connecting through usb cable. a google showed this problem has happenned before, but i couldn't find a solution [01:10] meoblast001: do you have a NameVirtualHost line somewhere in your apache configuration? [01:11] it's quite strange, looking in /media, "disk" is still there (and shows size and free space), though i have unplugged psp. now replugging it creates a disk-1 [01:11] rww: [ "NameVirtualHost" not found ] [01:11] What sans font does Ubuntu use? [01:12] meoblast001: in all of the various files in /etc/apache2/ ? (not just the ones in sites-enabled [01:12] Loafers: DejaVu Sans. It's an offshoot of Bitstream Vera Sans. [01:12] yes [01:12] i have it in ports.conf [01:12] can i remove it? [01:13] meoblast001: throw a # in front of it to comment it out, and see if that helps. [01:13] rww, thanks! [01:13] all works, thanks [01:14] jennistin: ok, I see the 3-way tcp handshake (lines 1-3), then the server should send an proto id string (line 4) then the client should send a proto id string (line 5) then the server should send a key exchange init (line 6) at which point the client goes dumb when it should reply to the server's key exchange init. I can't tell from this trace if the problem is at the tcp layer or above. A tcp problem seems unlikely... What's in the [01:14] client logs? [01:15] Ok who is the uber ubuntu geek on here? [01:15] andyzammy: hmm, strange. What's the relevant line in mount? [01:15] meoblast001: glad I could help [01:15] :) [01:15] hi there [01:15] I need help anyone here? [01:15] the people i talked to in #httpd don't seem to like the Debian Apache setup [01:15] hello [01:15] which one do you want, the phantom "disk" or the one that really shows the psp when it's plugged in? [01:16] Is it possible to return Ubuntu to a previous configuration? [01:16] UBuntuNewbie: largest channel on Freenode i think [01:16] I'm having trouble trying to install my video driver [01:16] Somehow it has become corrupted and I'd just like to return it to a time when it was working [01:16] losher: Unfortunately I can't get Putty to give me a detailed log and I don't have privilege to record the packets on the client. [01:16] rww: which one do you want, the phantom "disk" or the one that really shows the psp when it's plugged in? [01:16] UBuntuNewbie: ATI, Intel, or NVIDIous? [01:16] just updated to 9.04, i had this issue with 6.10 also... everytime i complete all the security updates, ubuntu crashes and when i reboot.. it starts up in tty [01:16] what can i do to install all the security updates and not crash? [01:16] losher: By the way, thank you for your help [01:16] anyone on here know about ppp? [01:16] jennistin: sorry I haven't been able to solve it... [01:16] meob: ATI [01:17] UBuntuNewbie: which rXXX is it? [01:17] andyzammy: may as well give me both :) [01:17] UBuntuNewbie: if you don't know, just give me the model [01:17] UBuntuNewbie: what version of Ubuntu are you using (9.04/Jaunty, 8.10/Intrepid, etc.)? [01:17] meob : ATI 9000 mobile [01:17] godmodegrafix: What version of Ubuntu were you running before 9.04? [01:17] i have a big problem i cant login on lost and found :( [01:17] anyone on here know about ppp? [01:17] meob: ATI Radeon 9000 mobile [01:17] rww: they're both the same actually. mount -v gives: /dev/sdd1 on /media/disk-1 type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal,shortname=mixed,uid=1000,utf8,umask=077,flush) [01:18] !anyone | SilAmeth [01:18] SilAmeth: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [01:18] meob : is it ok if I talk to you in private? I am having toruble following all the other chat [01:18] Pici: it's irrelevant because i wiped out my whole harddrive before installing it [01:18] with all the other chat going on* [01:18] Tim__: sorry, that's what a backup is for. If you didn't make one, it's really hard to go back... [01:18] UBuntuNewbie: is that a newer or older card? [01:18] Does anyone on her know about ppp? [01:18] hm [01:19] UBuntuNewbie: and sure [01:19] godmodegrafix: Oh. Well you said you updated to 9.04. Does Ubuntu crash while you are installing updates or is it on the next reboot that you boot to a tty? === jay is now known as Guest42699 [01:19] oh no sorry, i installed from live CD === Guest42699 is now known as jaybinks_ [01:19] it crashes while installing [01:19] losh how can i login into lost and found? [01:20] andyzammy: odd, that looks fine. Is it an internal drive, or a swappable SD card or something? [01:20] maximenko_: lost and found generally isn't a user =/ [01:20] Pici: and then when i reboot my laptop, i try boot the linux kernel and it leaves my in tty [01:20] rww :( [01:20] i cant do nothing? [01:21] maximenko_: what exactly are trying to do? [01:21] Hi all - I am a newb - i enabled and created a 'key' so that only I can ssh to my server, however, now I want to disable that - how do I disable it so that I can simply type ssh [01:21] losh too get the files [01:21] on that thing [01:21] maximenko_: if you're seeing a "lost+found" folder on your home partition, that's a directory created on all ext partitions to store broken files. It's not a user you can log into... [01:21] maximenko_: are you saying you lost some files? [01:21] yep [01:22] how do you flush the dns cache on ubuntu [01:22] maximenko_: is there another language you're more comfortable speaking? There are country-specific rooms that might be able to help better... [01:22] norwegian [01:22] !no | maximenko_ [01:22] maximenko_: what happened, exactly? [01:22] maximenko_: Hvis du vil diskutere på Norsk, vennligst gå til #ubuntu-no. Takk! [01:22] godmodegrafix: Have you noticed that it crashed during a particular package? or is it random? [01:23] maximenko_: by all means continue getting help in here, but that room might be able to help too :) [01:23] I can't get Leo XML editor to run I keep getting qtGui.py: can not import Qt I can find how to fix this [01:23] what does that lost+found folder do? [01:24] Pici: never took notice, I only let it happen once.... cause from my previous experiences i had from 6.10.. i knew that the only way to fix this issue was to repartition my HD and remove linux altogether...then install again from live cd.. [01:24] I am trying to log into the internet through dialup, it dials and when it is authenticating it says looks like a welcome message/ can't run /usr/sbin/pppd, any ideas? [01:24] and i dont want to try it again, cause its a hassle installing and uninstalling ubuntu [01:24] well it's not.. but i dont wanna :( [01:25] GuidMorrow: if messed up files are recovered during a disk check and the disk recovery can't figure out where to put them, they're put there. It's typically empty. [01:25] GuidMorrow: when checking the disk, if the checker finds files that don't seem to belong anywhere, it puts them into lost+found so you have a chance of putting them back in the right place. When that happens, the filename is typically lost, even if the contents are still there... [01:25] looking for a solution for work. They want a small install of linux (I suggested puppylinux) that is configured to open remote desktop on boot and nothing else, can anyone point me in the right direction? [01:25] alguem br? [01:26] !br | biglinux [01:26] biglinux: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [01:26] Swian: I just read a comparison of tiny linuxes here: http://www.abzone.be/Review001_p001. It's a bit old but still ok... [01:26] godmodegrafix: Well, 6.10 was nearly 6 releases ago, we may have a completely different issue here. Is your graphics card by chance made by intel? [01:26] I need help [01:27] for check error in Hd FAT and NTFS in the Debian Linux [01:27] does anyone know of a UML editor that I can simply draw the diagrams myself? Something similar to DIA but that allows a print preview? [01:27] rww: oops, pidgin froze up on me, sry [01:27] losher : problem is, nobody can't even get in that folder! [01:27] Pici: im not sure, how would i find out? [01:27] biglinux: for FAT & NTFS you need to boot windows to check them properly [01:28] thanks but the question wasn't about the distro but more about configuring it to do what I said [01:28] GuidMorrow: you have to be root to look in there. Use sudo ls /lost+found [01:28] andyzammy1: no problem. The last thing I asked was whether it's an internal drive or an external SD card or something like that? [01:28] godmodegrafix: open a terminal and type: lspci and look for something that looks like a graphics adapter [01:29] ah yes [01:29] everything is intel === rickspencer3 is now known as rickspencer3-afk [01:29] when I'm on Windows, it asks to format the HD, and Linux open normally [01:29] rww: right. basically the psp's acting as a card reader. it takes memory stick duo cards. should i try reformatting the carrd? [01:29] losher: that only works through terminal, but not through nautilus [01:29] godmodegrafix: Some people today were discussing intel graphics issues with the latest updates, I'm not sure which package it was though. [01:29] and no have space in the HD for make backup [01:30] losher : how do I display the folder contents [01:30] andyzammy1: you may have done this already, but some memory sticks have a "lock" switch on the back. Is it set appropriately? [01:30] Pici: actually nvm, my graphics card is RADEON [01:30] GuidMorrow: if your system is so screwed up that files are showing up in /lost+found, you probably can't fix it from nautilus, sorry... [01:31] GuidMorrow: hit Alt-F2, run "gksudo nautilus", and use that to browse it. [01:31] rww: i did have a look, but there doesn't appear to be a physical lock. [01:31] Does anyone on her know about ppp? [01:32] or rather pppd on jaunty [01:32] ANYONE HOME?! [01:32] Swian: when you say 'remote desktop' do you mean just ssh into a shell, or a full (gnome?) desktop viewed remotely? [01:32] GuidMorrow: I just replied to you a minute ago. [01:32] * GuidMorrow echo HOME ... HOME ... HOME ... [01:32] yep, that folder's empty [01:32] sheesh some people are impatient. [01:32] how come every time i try to figure out how to do something through the terminal i have to sift through about 5 pages of people demonstrating how to do it using gui? :( [01:33] godmodegrafix: hmm... I've really not seen a package install crash Ubuntu in.. well never. [01:33] hehe good question [01:33] when I say remote desktop I mean the remote desktop application that can be used to connect to windows terminal servers [01:33] GuidMorrow: good, that means the disk checker isn't finding broken lost files when it runs. [01:33] that's the ONLY app they want available [01:33] rww: define broken? [01:33] Pici: this is strange... :\ [01:34] I downloaded the new NVIDIA driver, NVIDIA-Linux-x86-185.18.36-pkg1.run. how do i install it? [01:34] godmodegrafix: You could try updating from the terminal if you have a network connection there.. otherwise just try again from the gui and maybe it was just coincidence. [01:34] can anyone help me with drivers for broadcom [01:34] buttons840: some people are incapable/unwilling to do anything that doesn't have a GUI. I also notice nowadays that youtube has videos of things which take 20 minutes to watch, which could be written in half a page of text... [01:35] F*CK ALL YOU CAWK SCKERS [01:35] F*CK UBUNTu [01:35] F*CK LINUX [01:35] wes_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:35] how intelligent [01:35] Hi I'm wondering has anyone here ever had the "messed up graphics" screen of death after installing updates, and then restarting unbuntu? It shows up right after the Ubuntu splash screen [01:35] omg [01:35] Pici: thanks, I'll figure it out eventually... i dont want to run the risk of having to reinstall ubuntu right now though.. [01:35] rww: i did have a look, but there doesn't appear to be a physical lock. [01:36] yet another windows user [01:36] andyzammy1: hmm. I'm looking around online and can't find anything about whether there is one or not. Strange, that's usually the problem when that error comes up with those things. [01:36] I have broadcom 4322 propritary drivers but they really don't get the job done... i mainly need 3rd party for aircrack can anyone help [01:36] a [01:36] rww: what makes a file break? [01:36] can you search for installed packages using apt-cache? [01:37] dpkg -l | grep [01:37] GuidMorrow: disk corruption caused by hardware failure, power outages, or other fun stuff like that [01:37] UBuntuNewbie, you mean the one with the black screen with lots of text that says something about Xorg.0.log ? [01:37] ouch [01:37] Swian: client remote desktop application only? [01:37] yes [01:37] losher: yes [01:37] bucky : no [01:37] rww: i was going to try mount the psp in a windows VM but it appears i can't use anything usb (don't know why, all my usb devices are grayed out) lol, yet another problem [01:37] biovore: i know about using dpkg to do it, i mean is there a way to do it with apt-cache [01:37] JoshuaP0x: ctrl+alt+f1 then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop then run the installer sudo sh ./name of driver.run then reboot [01:38] andyzammy1: if you're using Virtuabox from the Ubuntu repositories, that's because the open source version of VirtualBox (the one Ubuntu ships) doesn't have direct USB support. You'd need to use the one from their website. [01:38] I have broadcom 4322 propritary drivers but they really don't get the job done... i mainly need 3rd party for aircrack can anyone help [01:38] help please [01:39] bucky: I mean if you install all the "important' update when you have a fresh copy of 9.04 installed, you restart the pc, and you get that blank screen [01:39] !help > cbassett [01:39] cbassett, please see my private message [01:39] i love in kalina rios what me did :( [01:39] Anyone know why I'm seeing this in the shell?: ImportError: No module named CommandNotFound [01:39] UBuntuNewbie, i don't think i've ever seen that one [01:39] andyzammy1: ugh, pretty much all Sony says is that some of them do have locks, some of them don't, and in the ones that do, it looks different on different ones. So much for standardization. [01:39] heh: command-not-found is already the newest version [01:40] ... ok. [01:40] what do you mean "command-not-found"? What's that? [01:40] Qvintvs: not that I can see, no. I generally use "aptitude search ~i" to show all installed packages. [01:40] Evidently what is called when a command isn't found. [01:40] how does this work? [01:40] GuidMorrow: command-not-found is a python script ubuntu runs when you type a command into bash that doesn't exist [01:40] newby here. [01:40] where can i get broadcom 4322 3rd party drivers for aircrack the ones im using now are propietary drivers and they dont cut it for aircrack [01:40] rww: i'm going to try to reformat the memory stick and see if that helps any. thanks for your help! [01:41] GuidMorrow: it just prints out possible packages from the repos [01:41] damian: if you have a problem with or question about Ubuntu, just go ahead and... I guess not. [01:41] anyone here have a problem running Chess in 3d-mode? [01:41] ? [01:41] Swian: ok, so they all come with x11 and networking. The most obscure part is the rdesktop application. You can build it if it isn't available, but some of the build environments for the small distros are a pain to work with. Also, if your hardware is non-standard, you need to be sure the distro supports what you have. If I were you, I'd pick 3 or 4 and just download them, burn 'em to CD, and try them out... [01:41] andyzammy1: alright. let me know how it goes :) [01:42] cognitiaclaeves : try reinstalling command-not-found? [01:42] rww: will do! [01:42] I did. Already the latest version. [01:42] what's the apt-get command for that [01:43] losher: yeah, I like puppy because its debian based, but can you point me to somewhere to read up on configuration? [01:43] what's the apt-get command for reinstalling a package [01:43] if not I'll google around [01:43] I have broadcom 4322 propritary drivers but they really don't get the job done... i mainly need 3rd party for aircrack where can i find some and how to install?

[01:45] remove both entirely [01:45] look around the menus until you see "Shiretoko" [01:45] i have t us ethe right click menu [01:45] rww: reformatting the memory stick worked. it must have been some sort of sw glitch on the memory stick side. [01:45] then install firefox latest version [01:45] mordof: System -> Preferences -> Preferred Applications. under Web Browser, click "Custom" in the dropdown, and change "firefox" to "firefox-3.5" [01:46] Swian: nearly all puppy config is done from the GUI if I recall correctly. http://www.puppylinux.com/. But don't rule out crunchbang, and there's also a Ubuntu minimal CD which you can customize. You're actually spoiled for choice when it comes to small distros...

My computer spec should be more than enough to run it well.

[01:51] there isn't really a fully-published Flash 64 plugin for Jaunty yet, the plugin they put out is in beta, I think [01:51] well, i decided to just go with xubuntu... and now thee monitor resolution is working properly [01:51] i just need to get the dual monitor display to show [01:51] hi..anyone has knowledge of wubi [01:51] thanks [01:51] Chascon: if the PPA is set up right, the PPA version will be higher than the Ubuntu repo version (perhaps through the use of version modifiers that use ~ and are complicated, but still...) and a normal package update will get it to install [01:51] Chascon: and yeah, apt-cache policy packagename is awesome :) [01:51] If Karmic is released, how do we upgrade from Jaunty to Karmic when the time comes [01:51] anyone who knows wubi [01:51] hola [01:52] GuidMorrow: update manager === diego is now known as Guest95791 [01:52] anyone knows how to reset a vista password from ubuntu livecd?

[02:15] idleone merma how do i fix the grub [02:15] does anybody know if it is possible to sync the evolution calendars on two seperate computers each running ubuntu? [02:16] sudansh: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub READ THIS DO WHAT IT SAYS AND IT WILL WORK. [02:16] merma: they're all for fixing grub if Ubuntu's installed to a separate partition, not to a Wubi partition-as-a-file, I assume. [02:16] IdleOne: watch your attitude, please. [02:16] !caps [02:16] PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [02:16] rww: he said he installed ubuntu on a different partition [02:16] ubottu: not all of us [02:16] Sorry, I don't know anything about not all of us [02:16] rww: sorry [02:16] merma the prob is that these guides tell me if i have installed ubuntu in ext partitions [02:17] bt i have installed ubuntu inside windows xp as an app in ntfs system [02:17] merma: he said he installed using Wubi. The Wubi files are on a separate partition. They are still Wubi files. [02:17] sudansh: ahhh I don't know then, just reinstall ubuntu [02:17] wubi has made virtual disk ... root.disk home.disk and swap.disk [02:18] which ubuntu treat as real disk.. [02:18] it has your home on a different "disk" anyway [02:18] hey, how is Wubi anyway...is it a decent representation of the Ubuntu experience for someone who's interested in experimenting with an alternative OS? [02:18] sudansh: why not install the real thing? [02:18] sudansh: Wubi has crappy support in here, really. If I were you, I'd temporarily move your wubi stuff elsewhere, install a new throwaway wubi in the place where it used to be, then copy over all the files from your old wubi install and overwrite the new one. [02:19] sudansh: I know it's a pain, but the way Wubi is set up is so weird (it doesn't use GRUB like normal installations, for example) that it's probably the easiest way. [02:19] merma cz i dont want to create a separate partition js for ubuntu [02:19] rww, i heard alot problems with wubi [02:19] rww: I offered that solution to him. he did not like it [02:19] Alumin: If you're at all comfortable with "real" partitioning, I'd recommend it over Wubi. There are a myriad of potential problems with it. [02:20] rww actually i was going to reinstall wubi anyway bt thought if there was a way without reinstalling it === anthony is now known as G-man [02:20] okay, i've finally got hardware drivers to recognize 180 [02:20] how do i open xconfiguration now? [02:20] sudansh: you are using the disk space anyway, just on a file inside your windows partition, why not make a partition for ubuntu, what's the problem? [02:20] X Server rather, sorry [02:21] sudansh: well, you're welcome to continue looking for one, but as I said, not many people really understand what's going on with it, so it'll be tough :( [02:21] merma coz then i cant use that space inside windows xp [02:21] is it possible to synchronize the evolution calendar across two computers? [02:21] no one knows how to repair an ntfs partition using linux? [02:21] actually i have a feeling fixing grub on wubi should be the same as in a standard installation [02:21] Anybody? [02:22] matrixblue: install ntfs-progs [02:22] look at man pag [02:22] e [02:22] thanks verv87 [02:22] ntfsprogs or ntfs-progs dont remember the exact name [02:23] matrixblue: even ntfs-progs isn't too good at it, though. NTFS being a Microsoft filesystem format has certain negative consequences like this. [02:23] maybe ntfs-utils [02:23] merma: no, it wouldn't be. Wubi uses the Windows bootloader, not GRUB. [02:23] i hate how windows doesn't recognizes my 2 partitions inside my usb stick [02:23] hi i am on ubuntu 8.10 and have got the proprietary drivers installed for my xpress 200m graphics chipset, however things (firefox) renders really slow, and scrolling is really sluggish. anyone can offer any help or shed some light my way? [02:23] hi [02:23] scrounge-ntfs looks interesting, too. [02:23] WINDOWS SUCKs [02:23] rww, understood but Linux is my only hope in this case. cd drive doesn't work to boot the xp cd [02:24] anyone here know how to get chess to play in 3d mode? [02:24] rww: ahhh [02:24] Can anybody help me with Nvidia X Server [02:24] merma ya rww is right [02:24] I can't get it to run [02:24] goddard: no need to be negative about other operating systems :( [02:24] anyway thanx everyone for help...i guess i have to finally copy my imp data n then reinstall ubuntu :( [02:25] UBuntuNewbie: try apt-get install wesnoth . ;) [02:25] hi [02:25] whats that [02:25] UBuntuNewbie, battle of wesnoth [02:25] A turn-by-turn strategy game. [02:25] someone here with grub-debugging-foo?

[02:29] quite often :-) [02:29] merma: It's still in development right now, and thus we can't guarantee its stability, hence that warning. [02:30] okay, i've got nvidia x server up, and im enabling my secondary monitor, but it says i must press apply , and then save x configuration file.... but when i click save to x configuration file, it tells me Unable to remove old X config backup file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup'.

So I wasnt sure what command I could use [02:30] bye then [02:30] i wonder how much different will 9.10 will be, with it's clouding experiments [02:31] there is an open source driver for xpress 200m ati graphics card, can anyone help in installing it over the flgrx drivers I am using? [02:31] can someone tell me what would cause ubuntu to boot direct into memtest86 [02:31] when is 9.10 coming out for real [02:31] Okay, so my computer no longer wants to recognize my USB Flash Drive after I attempted to format it [02:31] I suppose 'karmic' is an appropriate name then. :p [02:31] verv87: the end of October [02:31] okay, i've got nvidia x server up, and im enabling my secondary monitor, but it says i must press apply , and then save x configuration file.... but when i click save to x configuration file, it tells me Unable to remove old X config backup file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup'. [02:31] CHey guys, question... Is there a way in EVOLUTION to set an event in the calendar for a certain day, every day for a span of time (In this case, I want to put in my college classes, so I can look at my sched and see what I have) [02:31] how do I make a grub rescue disk [02:31] G-man: you have to run nvidia-settings with gksudo ... or you can't write to /etc/X11 [02:31] It is recognized in the lsusb [02:31] how do i do that? [02:31] But I can't access it with any other means [02:31] kahrg: Are you stuck on evolution? [02:32] and since it is fucked up I'd like to format it back to NTFS [02:32] G-man: gksudo nvidia-settings [02:32] and worry about dealing with this piece of shit Ubuntu has formed into later [02:32] cognitiaclaeves not nec.. but i do like it to be integrated with gnome [02:32] G-man: in a terminal, gksudo nvidia-settings [02:32] kahrg: .. because tb has a calendar plugin that allows you to interface to google calendar... [02:32] !language | Tim__ [02:32] Tim__: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [02:32] cognitiaclaeves: tb? [02:32] Oh, sorry. [02:32] thunderbird. [02:32] I'm just really angry because I left my computer on sleep, then when I returned everything was imsane [02:32] cognitiaclaeves: thunderbird doesnt use GTK :( [02:33] It's pretty sweet. I can see all 6 of my google calendars on the same page with any local events... [02:33] Can anyone help me find my USB drive? [02:33] lsusb locates it, but fdisk -l won't, and it doesn't show up anywhere else [02:33] I can't make my windows 7 partition boot on GRUB [02:33] nice [02:33] now how in the world was i supposed to know that :) [02:33] hehehe [02:33] can someone tell me what would cause ubuntu to boot direct into memtest86 and wont boot the kernel [02:33] oh, well. Works like mad for being able to coordinate with other people and groups. GTK or not. [02:33] brb after quick restart! [02:34] !grub | smogattack [02:34] smogattack: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [02:34] Does anyone know how to have Ubuntu relocate your USB after it became corrupted? [02:35] lsusb sees it, however nothing else does. [02:35] cognitiaclaeves: never really used google calendar [02:35] hi, I have setup two IP aliases (eth0:1, eth0:2) and now the default outgoing IP address is the one for eth0:2 rather than eth0 .. anyone know how to change this back ? [02:35] thiebaude, yeah, I'm reading the first one, but I don't know whether to choose hd0,0; hd0,1, etc [02:35] Tim__: is there any data off it you want, or is reformatting it okay? [02:35] cognitiaclaeves: suppose i should look into it, but i wanted it to be integrated with gnome (for notifications) [02:35] I want to reformat it [02:35] I want it back in NTFS format where I can't do any more damage to it [02:35] oh, is that all? tb has an extension to handle notifications. [02:36] cognitiaclaeves: but TB is also an eyesore [02:36] Ubuntu has become so madly corrupted that I had to try and manually put a LiveCD on it to boot from, however it failed and destroyed it [02:36] lol. Guess I'm agnostic like that. [02:36] hey folks [02:36] thiebaude, how can I check what partition my windows 7 is on? like hd0,1 [02:37] Tim__: alright. Unplug it if it's plugged in, then plug it back in, wait about ten seconds, and run "dmesg | tail" in a terminal. You should get a bunch of messages prefaced with some numbers and then [sdX] where X is a, b, c, whatever. e.g.: "[11146.937141] sd 7:0:0:0: [sdc] Attached SCSI removable disk", X is "c". [02:37] nice [02:37] hey rafa [02:37] GTK applications have kind of a smooth look, that dont make my eyes strain like QT or XUL apps do [02:37] smogattack, im not sure [02:37] !!!!!!!!!!!!!! finally i got my dual monitor to work [02:37] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [02:37] and use my GTK theme === anthony is now known as Guest26536 [02:37] but not in Ubuntu but xubuntu 8.10 [02:37] somebody is using the karmic alpha5 now? [02:37] Somebody gave me an old dell bluetooth keyboard, one of these: http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/acc/P109356/en/setup.htm [02:37] k1LL_O2: Karmic discussion in #ubuntu+1, not here, thanks. [02:37] how can I check what partition my windows 7 is on? [02:38] rww: Ok, it's /dev/sdb1 [02:38] oh, tanks! [02:38] is there any disadvantages to using xubuntu [02:38] Same as it was when I could read it :p [02:38] ? [02:38] At least I think so [02:38] Tim__: you think it's the same, or you think it's sdb? 'cause the next command will wipe it out, so you should probably be sure it's sdb ;) [02:38] It's definitely sdb [02:39] I don't really care what it does to my comp anyways, it somehow corrupted itself while it was on sleep mode... when I turned it back on everything was completely different and messed up. >:( [02:39] !xubuntu | Guest26536 [02:39] Guest26536: Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels [02:39] But I'm 99.99999% sure it's /dev/sdb1 [02:40] Tim__: alright. next do "sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=10MB" (people who are not Tim__: DO NOT DO THIS) and let it run for a few minutes (you won't get any output), then Ctrl-C it to quit it. That'll overwrite the start of the partition and completely remove any partitioning (broken or otherwise) on the drive. [02:40] Guest26536, i dont use it [02:40] what is the difference [02:40] just the GUI [02:40] rw: I'm assuming I'm supposed to replace /dev/sdb with /dev/sdb1, correct? [02:40] can someone tell me what would cause ubuntu to boot direct into memtest86 and wont boot the kernel [02:40] And I don't replace /dev/zero? [02:41] *rww [02:41] hey everyone what is the best way to tag lots of photos? [02:41] Tim__: no, /dev/sdb is the name of the whole disk, which is what contains the broken partitioning. Assuming there's nothing on the disk you want, you'd want to do sdb. [02:42] rww: It seems to be responding [02:42] My USB light is blinking now [02:42] tnnc: you have grub installed? [02:42] Tim__: okay. Like I said, let it run for a few minutes, then do Ctrl-C to quit it. It might take a few seconds to return you to a prompt after that. After that, I'll walk you through partitioning it properly with gparted. Ping me when you quit it. [02:42] what does Grub Loading Stage 2 mean? [02:43] Can do. [02:43] smogattack: it means it's loading the parts of GRUB that are stored on your boot partition (as opposed to in the Master Boot Record). [02:44] rww: About how long should I wait? [02:44] Tim__: this should be enough [02:44] Okay [02:45] Tim__: okay. If you don't already have gparted installed, install it (for example, "sudo apt-get install gparted" from the command-line) [02:45] rww: It's installed [02:45] is it normal for an fsck on a large partition (500GB) to be completed in a very short space of time (less than a minute)? [02:45] Well, it's not booting my windows 7. How can I find what hd it's on? [02:45] thomc: is it using ext4? [02:46] rww: no, this is a vfat partition. [02:46] hi, system monitor shows a process with no process name/command line that respawns with a new pid every 5 seconds or so, how can i find more about this process? [02:46] thomc: is the drive predominantly empty? [02:46] smog: does it boot any other OS? [02:46] Tim__: alright. Run it from System -> Administration -> Partition Editor. It'll probably take a minute to scan /dev/sdb; when it's done, select it from the dropdown in the top right [02:46] IndyGunFreak: no, its about 2/3 full. [02:46] smogattack, grub doesn't boot windows 7 [02:46] thomc: well, to me.. that woudl seem a bit odd [02:47] thiebaude, what..... [02:47] Hi, I'm a C++ programmer moving from Windows to Ubuntu and I'm wondering if there are any good IDEs for C++ development. I'm used to Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0's C++ implementation [02:47] thiebaude, any way to boot it? or should I just lose hope? [02:47] Coder4Lyfe: Try Eclipse, or Netbeans [02:47] smogattack: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1036547 [02:47] Coder4Lyfe: there's also codeblocks [02:47] smogattack, i dont know anything about windows 7 [02:48] Are those any similar to Visual Studio? [02:48] Coder4Lyfe: Somewhat [02:48] I thought NetBeans was for Java development [02:48] IndyGunFreak: basically at some point I think I've had a data corruption (some video files on the disk now seem to be scrambled) and I'm trying to track down the cause. Nothing wrong with the drive according to badblocks or smartctl but fsck doesn't seem to be doing its job. [02:49] rww: I got an error, something about "Volume 240M cannot be mounted, access denied" or something similar [02:49] hi, I have setup two IP aliases (eth0:1, eth0:2) and now the default outgoing IP address is the one for eth0:2 rather than eth0 .. anyone know how to change this back ? [02:49] thomc: hmm, no clue [02:49] brb [02:49] Coder4Lyfe: It is for anything [02:49] Coder4Lyfe: It has C++/C plugins, and they are very easy to install [02:49] Tim__: hrm. close gparted, pull the USB stick out, put it back in, and try again. GNOME might have tried to mount it at some point. [02:49] rww: Okay, it's working [02:50] Tim__: Which do you think is closest to Visual Studio? I'd like to get started as fast as possible [02:50] Tim__: alright. are you at a screen that looks something like http://imagebin.org/63259 ? [02:50] Codr4Lyfe: I think Netbeans would be better suited for your needes... it's very easy to get the C++ plugins installed. [02:50] Coder4Lyfe* [02:51] guys how do i make linux automatically mount my 2nd HDD upon a reboot. In GParted its at "/dev/sdb" and is mounted to the directory "/media/disk" [02:51] Coder4Lyfe: Eclipse is a little more complex, at least from my brief experience with it. [02:51] rww: Yes, it is exactly like that [02:51] Ok thanks, I'll try NetBeans. [02:51] rigodeni: You'd need to add it to /etc/fstab [02:51] !fstab | rigodeni [02:51] rigodeni: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system.

Make sure the "unallocated" partition is selected, then click "New" on the toolbar. You'll get a WARNING: screen, click the "Create" button.

I am installing 9.04 on an HP nx6325 laptop, hoping for native wireless support for the broadcom 57xx wireless card, am I going to have to use ndis wrapper to get it to work? [02:53] Tim__: Alright. do you want the whole disk to be one NTFS partition? [02:53] rww: I want it to be in a partition that I can install a disc image to, to reinstall Ubuntu [02:53] Relar: you can find out by booting the liveCD and testing it out [02:53] rww: Which I believe would be either FAT16, or FAT32 [02:53] rww: k thx, reading [02:53] Tim__: okay. So the whole thing should be FAT32? Or did you need something more complicated? [02:54] (and yes, usb-creator wants FAT32) [02:54] rww: Sure, just FAT32 [02:54] rww: I was wondering why usb-creator wasn't complying >.> [02:54] thanks, good idea. [02:54] what would cause memtest86 only be in boot choice [02:54] Tim__: awesome. Click that "unallocated" partition again, click New again, and you should get a different screen this time. Change the "File system:" dropdown to "fat32" and click "Add" [02:54] blah blah [02:55] Tim__: yeah, it's really picky about partition layouts. Screws up for me a lot. [02:56] Tim__: once you've done that, your screen should look like http://imagebin.org/63260 [02:56] rww: Okay, done [02:56] how can I hacketh adobe cs4 on linux mahine [02:57] Tim__: alright, click the Apply button (Green checkmark) on the toolbar, then click "Apply" in the window that pops up [02:57] rww: Already did [02:57] :) [02:57] Tim__: hehe. Okay, once that's done, close out gparted and usb-creator should work :) [02:57] rww: Thank you sooooooo much. I believe you may have helped me retain my sanity [02:58] lol [02:58] Tim__: You're welcome, glad I could help. Apologies that the process takes so long!

[03:14] Nevermind [03:14] I set it using Gparted [03:14] tim__, sudo fdisk /dev/sdb [03:14] test34: I took the time to memorize this one, since it protects access to my HD, which contains other passwords. [03:15] PMantis: well, you also need to change it at least once a month [03:15] hi [03:15] !gksudo | MRIguy, rigodeni [03:15] MRIguy, rigodeni: 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) [03:15] test34: Why? [03:15] rigodeni: I am now :p === obamanator_ is now known as twocarlo [03:16] WTF [03:16] PMantis: if someone gets access to your encrypted password, they might crack it ???

[03:17] test34: No, rww walked me through formatting it to a FAT32 just a minute ago [03:18] tim__, or even better, ext2 [03:18] When running live CD, how to bypass the language choice ? === anthony is now known as G-man [03:18] test34: If someone can walk off with my laptop, it doesn't matter if the password is new or old. This is their first stab at it, and they get to keep it as long as they want to try to crack it to see my data. Once they have it in their possession, I can't change the password. [03:18] Question for u gamers, out there, how do i go about getting wine tricks, i dont see it in synaptics [03:18] test34: With that in mind, I pick one really strong password, and keep it for good. [03:18] G-man: have you looked at the !appdb ? [03:18] G-man: it's just a script, it's easy to find on google [03:18] PMantis: they could possibly get it via then internet?

If it's powered on, the drive is already decrypted, and there's absolutely no need for the to guess the encryption password, since luks already has is mounted.

[03:23] I do have an encrypted "partition" on a file on my USB key using truecrypt.. [03:23] test34: Right. I sometimes encrypt my backup servers, since they contain data from multiple systems. If that's stolen, ALL is compromised. But, an encrypted drive does *nothing* to stop attacks while the system is fully booted. [03:23] 123 [03:24] test34: So, I always do a shutdown (or hibernate) before I travel, just is case I loose it. I never want to tell my client that I lost a device that holds their data!

[04:01] ATI has lack of support for linux [04:01] !ot | russ5811 [04:01] russ5811: The factoid told you where to go. [04:01] G-man: hopefully, that works. Else, I don't know [04:01] what keeps overwriting /etc/motd? [04:01] djbuggsy: What video card do you have? [04:01] Mqueue, here's myu question. [04:01] Why will the same computer run at 1024x768 in Puppy Linux? [04:01] have fun helping each other out. [04:02] ink: update-motd. "man update-motd" may be of interest :) [04:02] alright, there's a text editor in Ubuntu... you are basically telling me that I can open the boot configuration file and edit this so that I could boot windows again??? [04:02] rww: gracias [04:02] what kind of parameters should I add??? [04:02] So, say I found a module in lsmod and I want to disable it in blacklist.conf do I just type in the name of the module in lsmod and type in blacklist before it? [04:02] Korlis: DO you have a suggestion as to which file system I should install ubuntu in? Also, for pre-installation setup, do you think 2 partition is enough? ( 1 for ubuntu root, and 1 for swap (2 Gb)) [04:02] I don't think the card's not capable of running the resolution, I just want to know how to add an additional resolution to Administration/Preferences [04:02] # man update-motd [04:02] No manual entry for update-motd [04:02] :-( [04:02] i haven't been able to figure this out for a long time now it's a valid question [04:02] If the system crashes, oh well! :-D [04:03] UBuntuNewbie: EXT4 is the best imo, and yes, 2 partitions is enough [04:03] djbuggsy: what graphics card do you have? [04:03] Anyone know how to get windows 7 to boot using GRUB? [04:03] ATI Rage Pro IIC [04:03] is ext4 out of beta yet? [04:03] ATI Rage pro [04:03] smogattack: Only about 5000 articles on the subject on google. [04:03] Lunatic, i think so [04:03] djbuggsy: eek, ATI [04:03] thank you very much [04:03] Gee, thanks Shane. [04:03] ive had no problems with it [04:03] lol [04:03] djbuggsy: have you installed the proprietary drivers? [04:04] huh, didn't know that. awesome [04:04] None available for that old card... [04:04] KB1JWQ, no there isnt [04:04] on my 80 gig laptop fsck takes like 30 seconds with ext4 [04:04] At least not from the "Hardware" thingie. [04:04] Can I get drivers via apt or synaptic? [04:04] djbuggsy: ohh, old too, I'm afriad that I can't be of much help. [04:04] smogattack: My error. There are just shy of two million. [04:05] http://www.google.com/search?q=windows+7+grub&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=com.ubuntu:en-US:unofficial&client=firefox-a <-- smogattack [04:05] djbuggsy: I do know this, some distro's handle ATI better than others. [04:05] Let me try a different tack. [04:05] if u have 9.04 don't try it ..u will end up in crashes [04:05] hey guys [04:05] Mqueue, I know. [04:05] ay I found a module in lsmod and I want to disable it in blacklist.conf do I just type in the name of the module in lsmod and type in blacklist before it? === indeedhmm is now known as hmmindeed [04:05] djbugsy, buy a nvidia card [04:05] :'( [04:05] KB1JWQ, that's just adding. it doesn't actually make it boot [04:05] where is vlc? I don't see it with "aptitude search vlc"? [04:05] hey is there a reason as to why wHeN I load the LiveCD my wireless doesn't work?? [04:05] djbuggsy: perhaps you could find a card somewhere, ebay or something === hmmindeed is now known as bruenig [04:05] Korlis, I'm trying to get this to work so I can give away some old P3 server boxes running this config. [04:06] the drivers they wrote for ATI with 9.04 are newer when i download from ATI website that messed me up [04:06] OK [04:06] afallenhope, because your wireless card driver isn't automatically instlled.. [04:06] ah, have you tried installing superos on it djbuggsy? [04:06] there isn't smplayer but there is a smplayer-themes package? That doesn't make sense. [04:06] System/Preferences [04:06] Alright people. I'll make my question easier: I installed Ubuntu over Windows but Windows is still in there because I created a new partition from my unpartitionated 128 GB Disk. Now I can't choose to boot windows when it starts, not even when I press ESC to see the "Operative Systems List"... and I can't even see my hard disks in Ubuntu (maybe because it doesn't support NTFS) ?? [04:06] Screen Resolution [04:06] Korlis: Agreed.. Nvidia works much better with Linux than ATI [04:06] How do I force Ubuntu to add 1024x768 [04:06] Sonnyx4: Once more, what does fdisk say? [04:06] How can I reset by ubuntu repository List? [04:06] Out_Cold it used to be supported.. how would I go about having the wireless work? [04:06] afallenhope, you can install it and load from there but you would have to find your driver for your card first [04:07] SuperOs is a modified ubuntu that has all the codecs and drivers you need installed by default [04:07] KB1JW: I can't start Fdisk, is there other application that can show me through Ubuntu what partitions I have?? [04:07] Sonnyx4: I don't know or care to know what the GUI flavor of the day is. If you can't start fdisk from a terminal you have larger problems. [04:07] I downloaded one program, it says my disk is 128 GB and that there's only ONE partition of 4 GB (where Ubuntu is installed right now) [04:07] Is it possible to run UO with wine on xubuntu [04:07] ? [04:08] the only fdisk I know is the DOS version of microsoft... I don't have windows boot disks right now :S [04:08] djbuggsy: http://hacktolive.org/wiki/Super_OS [04:08] G-man, test it and let us know.. [04:08] well it just hangs when i try to install [04:08] Sonnyx4: ... Humor me a second. Type fdisk at the terminal prompt, kthx? [04:08] it gets to the installation screen [04:08] hehe let me see [04:08] but when i click regular install nothing happens... [04:08] why can't i get my saa7143x tv card working [04:09] Sonnyx4: in a terminal you can type fdisk -l to list your partitions [04:09] Chascon: you need to enable the multiverse repo's in your /etc/apt/sources.list [04:09] Sonnyx4: all partitions should show up. [04:09] thanks [04:09] !pm Sonnyx4 [04:09] Sorry, I don't know anything about pm Sonnyx4 [04:09] !pm | Sonnyx4 [04:09] Sonnyx4: 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. [04:09] Out_Cold I know the driver I need it's the b43 driver. as for finding it.. I don't have the internet on that machine.. so how would I port it? [04:09] Korlis, the install ISO is almost a gig! [04:09] can I post here what fdisk says?? [04:09] f the cd install [04:09] it's kind of long [04:09] Sonnyx4: That said, df output to a pastebin [04:09] downloading client now [04:09] well.. 4 lines [04:09] !paste | Sonnyx4 [04:09] Sonnyx4: 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!

[04:10] alright how, should I start fdisk with some special parameters? or should I just type Fdisk?? [04:10] because I can only see a "help message" === xps9000 is now known as xps [04:11] Sonnyx4: sudo fdisk /dev/sda. then whack p at the prompt and press enter [04:11] Korlis, I appreciate the info. Will give it a try if I can't get simple text 1024x768 to work. === xps is now known as xps9000 [04:11] Sonnyx4: If that bombs, try it with /dev/sdb [04:11] Sonnyx4: Take a look at df to determine which disk naming is appropriate; drop the number at the end.

[04:11] I did [04:12] djbuggsy, im a Debian lover, for myself its what i love, but if im giving away a computer i always put superos on it, and i make it look like whatever the recipient wants [04:12] it asked me for password and now I can see other "things" haha I'm a newbie :D [04:12] Sonnyx4: KB1JWQ PMantis it is sudo fdisk -l to list all [04:12] PMantis: Because I'm hoping he'll take the time to look around and see what else is there. :-) [04:12] please how do i partition my HDD? [04:12] no muxcking around with anything but the looks, and thats awesome [04:12] !pastebinit [04:12] pastebinit is the command-line equivelent of !pastebin . Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output. Simple usage: command-name | pastebinit [04:12] please how do i partition my HDD in jaunty? [04:12] afallenhope, the easiest way is to plug it in... otherwise you need to get the debs from http://packages.ubuntu.com and transfer on cd or usb [04:12] it says: "Command for help" [04:12] Sonnyx4: KB1JWQ: shane2peru: Keep in mind that I'm just coming in to the middle of a conversation, but I get nervous when it looks like they're ggetting eucation on fdisk. :) [04:13] PMantis: right, me too [04:13] Newbie_: are you booted off the CD? [04:13] PMantis: My money says he's already lost his data, I'm just confirming that now. [04:13] PMantis: Short version is he can't see his Winders partitions. [04:13] no [04:13] Out_Cold how would I go about installing them? [04:13] we're newbies some patience please! someday we might become masters :O [04:13] KB1JWQ: Ahhh [04:13] afallenhope, try lshw in terminal and see if there is a driver installed [04:13] I am decideing between using diff and cmp.. can someone take a look here and give me a hint... http://pastebin.com/m7b7f27a0 [04:13] !gparted | Newbie_ [04:13] Newbie_: gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php [04:13] Network Manager is only logging into my WiFi when I login into gnome. In the past I would simply set within network manager -> edit wifi connection and put a check in the "Connect Automatically" option. Yet this is checked and still not available till I login. Any suggestions? [04:13] to me it sounds like he installed ubuntu over windows [04:13] afallenhope, look for a 802.11 section [04:14] Newbie_: you can't repartition the drive you are booted from [04:14] Korlis: That's my guess. [04:14] KB1JWQ: I hate to say it, but his best chance might be with a second windows computer, and a recovery program designed for windows. [04:14] afallenhope, the lats line of the section will say if there is a driver installed for the card already [04:14] i have downloaded and brunt the Gparted livecd to cd but i dnt understand [04:14] KB1JWQ: Let the program determine where the partitions are... [04:14] thats why i always tell people who aren't sure to run wubi first [04:15] Newbie_: what don't you understand? [04:15] PMantis: Nah, testdisk makes a great filecarver if you run it from a LiveCD [04:15] Newbie_: have you booted into it yet? [04:15] KB1JWQ: for that much of a noob, sudo fdisk -l would have been simpler [04:15] jjrev can i pm you please? [04:15] KB1JWQ: testdisk? I'll have to look at that. [04:15] Newbie_: sure [04:15] anyone know why eclipse is soooooo much slower then windows and also debugger fails in ubuntu ? and any fix? [04:15] Out_Cold okay give me a sec [04:15] shane2peru: That was my thought. :) [04:15] shane2peru: To be fair, he hadn't let on his noob level until after that came out. :-) [04:16] i dont even know what eclipse is [04:16] lol [04:16] DK_CE, you there [04:16] shane2peru: That said, I concede the point. [04:16] alright people, I've finally obtained the partition list :D from Fdisk: http://pastebin.com/m3000c5be [04:16] KB1JWQ: it is good to assume noob and work up. :) [04:16] how to install gtalk on ubuntu? [04:16] Sonnyx4: Yeah, you're boned. [04:16] so I deleted the other parittions? [04:17] Sonnyx4: Yeah. Time to restore from backup. [04:17] Is there a way to get the ubuntu repository list back to the original? [04:17] yeah, windows i gone [04:17] maybe the file table is lost but the data is still in there, there must be some app that could recover that [04:17] barqs: did you make a backup before messing with it? [04:17] Okay. I have had some trouble installing Ubuntu on my HP DV6000 series laptop. Any tips? What architecture should I use? I have an AMD Turion X2 processor. It says 64 on the sticker too but I dont think i have a 64 bit processor. maybe I do. [04:17] Sonnyx4: At your experience level? Pay a professional if it's important. [04:17] Sonnyx4: You're likely to make it worse if you don't. [04:17] KB1JWQ: He *could* create a new partition, from 1 - 18971, flag is as dos (or whatever) and hope the data is still there. [04:18] lash9420: 32bit. Your cpu probably supports 64, but your other hardware may not [04:18] the more you use your computer the more chance you will overwrite the data you want to save by the way [04:18] PMantis: That seems a bit of a hail mary. [04:18] I know apps in windows that can recover data from "formatted" or "badly partitionated disks" [04:18] shange2peru: Stupidly, No, I didn't mean to save as I was closing it.. [04:18] there must be one in ubuntu as well [04:18] is there a way to "grep foo" print so many following lines? [04:18] Out_Cold it just says "wlan0" but it doesn't specify the driver also, if I try to run ifconfig wlan0 up it says no such file or directoy [04:18] PMantis: I'd probably dd it to an external and do recovery on the image. [04:18] KB1JWQ: Heheh, I've done it before. :) But, you have to exactly match the begin and end block. [04:18] barqs: what Ubuntu are you using? Jaunty? [04:19] afallenhope, iwconfig show anything? [04:19] PMantis: Yeah. And the likelihood of that in this case would be....? :-) [04:19] KB1JWQ that assumes he has a second computer to hook his HD up to [04:19] anyone have a clue why i would get this error E: kubuntu-docs: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 [04:19] danbhfive: Ok. Thanks. But which the amd or the i386? im a windows guy i dont understand much out of it. [04:19] alright, another noob question: how do I back up?? :P [04:19] Korlis: Yeah. Which in turn goes back to my suggestion to "pay a professional." [04:19] Sonnyx4: Get an external drive. [04:19] I need a bit of help getting my swap partition to mount automatically. [04:19] KB1JWQ: Point taken.. no way to know if there was a recovery partition there, plus a data partition... [04:19] shane2Peru, yes, ubuntu 9.04 [04:19] Out_Cold yes. [04:19] lash9420: i386 = 32bit. amd64 = b4bit because AMD invented the 64bit instruction set [04:20] there must be a "softwarish" way to do it KB1JWQ ^ [04:20] afallenhope, anything important? [04:20] ^^ [04:20] Sonnyx4: What data do you need back? [04:20] just some music and pictures [04:20] Out_Cold lol nope. And I tried iwlist wlan0 scan and it didn't do anything fun. [04:20] there are undelete utilities sonny, but anything you install could be overwriting what you want to save [04:20] just said the card was down === DK_CE_ is now known as DK_CE [04:20] Sonnyx4: $600 for this type of situation using OnTrack's data recovery. [04:20] lol no way [04:21] danbhfive: Cool. Thanks. So when I have gone to do this before, it freezes on the Ubuntu booting. I have to press the power button for it to contunue [04:21] I'm a windows user! ahww I should have changed that long time ago [04:21] Sonnyx4: Yeah. I charge half of that and make a killing most days. :-D [04:21] anyway to rename computer without reinstalling? [04:21] Sonnyx4: Dropbox is a neat way to auto-sync files to a server in the could... clients for Win/Max/Linux. [04:21] How might I add a swap partition to my "boot list"? [04:22] you'll have to find the driver from http://packages.ubuntu.com it'll be b43 or you can check for other broadcom drivers like bc43xx [04:22] Sonnyx4: You have to realize something here. It's ceased to be a Windows vs Linux question; you've got to recover the data using a file carver, and that's fairly OS agnostic. Use what you know. [04:22] alright, I think I'll have to ask Mr. Google what to do, he knows everything [04:22] download the deb to disk and open them on yout other box.. [04:22] super senior, you can't boot to a swap partition [04:22] :P [04:22] :/, How can i mv all files from subdirs into 1 directory? [04:22] Korlis, I mean I want it to mount on boot...

[04:23] Ok I once was able to set network manager to start up and login to my wifi without me logging into gnome. Anyone remember how to do this? [04:23] So when I have gone to do this before, it freezes on the Ubuntu booting. I have to press the power button for it to contunue. Any tips on what I should do different?? [04:23] KB1JWQ: at home.. wnna know the country? argentina [04:23] lash9420: have you tied the 32bit cd? I figured you should try that [04:24] Sonnyx4: Yeah, not close enough to be useful. [04:24] CoUrPsE, In terminal type: man mv [04:24] :/ [04:24] danbhfive, I'm guessing not.. I see some unfriendly looking text but nothing about "swap partition" [04:24] danbhfive yeah, thats what ive tried. [04:24] you?? [04:24] Sonnyx4, your best bet is to remove your hard drive and hook it up to an external dock on a nother ocmputer that has the utility you need installed [04:24] LucidGuy, add network manager to startup in admin menu and sett network manager to auto connect to your networks [04:24] Hello Wicker [04:24] danbhfive the video card and wifi card are messed up.

Foremost if I'm going for a specific filetype. [04:26] Sonnyx4: Good luck to you then, sir. :-) [04:26] anyone know a thing or two about "/dev/root: No such file or directory" errors? I've been searching for hours :( [04:26] lash9420: have you updated after that? and install linux-backports-modules-generic ? [04:26] oh you want me to pay you??? [04:26] lol [04:26] I usually use Backtrack 4 and save the data to an external HD [04:26] Sonnyx4: well, in that case, in the true spirit of a DIY, you should get the windows program you are familiar with to get the data back [04:26] i will pay money :/ [04:26] im just kidding [04:26] Jorsher: what is your situation exactly? [04:26] Jorsher: For what? :-) [04:26] LucidGuy, go to systems menu>preferences>startup [04:26] Sonnyx4: and keep good backups. :) [04:26] then add "network manager" [04:26] Out_Cold basically the issue was the fact that I need to get the firmware [04:26] yes but I'm lazy I wanna do it easily through ubuntu without getting out of my chair [04:26] Jorsher: sounds like a boot issue [04:26] danbhfive, i cant because I don't have wifi.

[04:28] danbhfive: Last time I did it it was still version 8.04 [04:28] LucidGuy, check your network manager and make sure it's highlighted to auto connect as well... and the passwords are right [04:28] Jorsher: try ext3 [04:28] Sonnyx4: there are apps, in Ubuntu to to it, but just using the disk reduces the chances of getting data off, it is being written to and used as you use it. [04:28] Loafers, How does that help me? :/ [04:28] lash9420: ah, yeah, definitely try a later version [04:28] nic1: you can use gtalk through pidgin [04:29] troxor - can i change it without losing data? [04:29] Jorsher: nope! :) [04:29] Jorsher: Ah, you want quotas. Got it. [04:29] ahhhhhh [04:29] shane2peru: In theory it is complicated because the date on disks are written "straight forward" and the only way to "know" where a file starts or ends is by means of a "table" which is stored with the partition list at the "0 track" or something (sorry I read this in spanish)... the fact of the matter is that most of programs that do this recovery thing do it automatically [04:29] CoUrPsE, You wanted to learn how to move files using command line correct? Well that shows you how... [04:29] yes quotas, i'm sharing it with a couple people and would like it set up [04:29] through pidgin? [04:29] ok [04:29] Jorsher: Okay, first step: webmin is NOT your friend. [04:29] I want to learn how to move files from a subdirectorys into 1 directory. [04:29] lol [04:29] Sonnyx4: yes, but you are trying to recover off ntfs, which complicates things [04:29] danbhfive: okay. I mean the one other computer ive installed this on its worked perfectly. But for my laptop. The most important computer. It wont. Im so lost.... [04:29] Out_Cold, do you know how to start up the network manager from the command line? [04:29] ok [04:29] 2nd step? :P [04:29] Sonnyx4: it is a very slow process too. [04:30] eg, 20 sub dirs, move files from each subdir into 1 dir, 1 command. [04:30] Jorsher: Either admin the box, or pay someone to do it; if you try to do it via a GUI you're in for a world of pain. [04:30] lash9420: well, it takes time for newer hardware to get supported [04:30] CoUrPsE, mv /somelocation/file /destination/folder [04:30] :/ [04:30] kb - i admin it, someone on that thread told me to try it [04:30] You still do not understand. [04:30] lash9420: it maybe as simple as that [04:30] last time i set up quotas i didn't use webmin [04:30] CoUrPsE, ? [04:30] yes because it must determine by means of patters where a file starts and ends... mp3s, jpgs.. etc... binary data might be seen as "chunk data" [04:30] LucidGuy, type network-manager & [04:30] I cant put it more simpular, :/ [04:30] Jorsher: Where are you seeing that root error? [04:30] danbhfive: This laptop got released in 2007 or 2008? Id think they had drivers by now... [04:30] when i do quotacheck -vagum [04:30] has ubuntu removed a few things from their systems? because my wireless used to work on startup [04:31] barqs: you are best off using System -> Administration -> Software sources for future references too. [04:31] like.. from the liveCD [04:31] sorry LucidGuy type nm & [04:31] Jorsher: And you did everything that tutorial said? [04:31] afallenhope, you need to activate it. click on the wireless icon on taskbar and connect [04:31] LucidGuy: Out_cold: it is network-admin [04:31] now I need a program for downlading music... like Ares... :P [04:31] exactly, yes [04:31] Jorsher: And you didn't copy THEIR UUID, you used your own? [04:31] yes [04:31] afallenhope: sometimes drivers are updated, e.g. ath5k->ath9k, iirc [04:32] i installed quota, edited the fstab for usrquota/grpquota, remounted, get that error doing quotacheck [04:32] shane2Peru: Perfect, I no longer get the annoying "Partial Update" Message. And I will. For future references, I've created a backup in my documents folder! Thanks again :) [04:32] fccf, Out_Cold nope Ive tried them all.. none start up the connection manager for network manger [04:32] Jorsher: I'm going to blame reiser; that's really the BIG difference I see here. [04:32] PMantis: by the way thank you for the topshareware link [04:32] barqs: no prob [04:32] fccf, network-admin is a different tool [04:32] lash9420: you would still need to use a version later than 8.04 to find out [04:32] Jorsher: If this is for production in any sense, and your offer to pay makes me suspect it is, you want something rock solid. [04:32] i use to have a gnome app that was great for adjusting my montor layout...like when i want to expand my laptop desktop onto an external monitor..i cant find the app though [04:32] Jorsher: That means ext3 [04:33] Jorsher: So who set this box up? [04:33] danbhfive: Okay. So i386 version 9.04. Download and burn to a disk. Install. Do driver update. Got it all?? [04:33] ok, i'm in usa so kimsufi wont sell me the box, so a friend did it [04:33] i'll have him reinstall and choose ext3 if he can [04:33] how do i install .net frameworkk [04:33] whats the proper command [04:33] Jorsher: That being said, I think this is workable. [04:33] for latest? [04:33] ok, so im still lacking in the original reason i came here [04:33] Jorsher: But you'll be happier if you DON'T use reiserfs. :-) [04:33] lash9420: yeah [04:34] ew, ext4 for me, i sont like resier [04:34] danbhfive: thanks for the hel! [04:34] p [04:34] Korlis: ext4 is well and good until it's in production. [04:34] np [04:34] zfs would be awesome, maybe cisco will port it to linux now that they own it [04:34] G-man, http://tr.im/yj3r [04:35] although it's a personal opinion Xubuntu vs Ubuntu anyone care to take a throb as to which is better? [04:35] KB1JWQ: what's the problems with ext4 in production? [04:35] ext4 is perfectly stable [04:35] ,is here anyone who got a running pure-ftpd server? [04:35] afallenhope: depends on your GUI preference [04:35] gnome ftw , unless it's gnome3 [04:35] shane2peru: It's not been battle tested enough. [04:36] shane2peru: For my use case, "production" is 300 servers. I don't like being a testbed. :-) [04:36] thanks bro [04:36] afallenhope: Unless there is something you like about xubuntu, like low resource usage, then use ubuntu, since it is the most supported [04:36] KB1JWQ: ahh, right, I will agree there, I was reluctant to install it, but did on the OS parition [04:36] KB1JWQ: right, understood [04:36] -.- [04:36] i tried to add a group in pidgin, it is not showing the one i newly add [04:36] no one with a pure-ftp server... damn. [04:36] kb1jwq i love ext4, fsck is much quicker and ive never had a prblem with it at all [04:36] bah instillation failed [04:36] wtf [04:36] and when i tried adding a contact, it is not asking me for mail address at all [04:37] Korlis: Neither have I, on my netbook. But "my personal box" and "the datacenter's servers" are two different things. [04:37] Hi there... hum... i have a problem... [04:37] nic1: try kopete [04:37] !ask > kamelotusky [04:37] kamelotusky, please see my private message [04:37] danbhfive actually the low resource usage is amazing.. would mean I could run WoW without issues. I figured Xubuntu and Ubuntu were pretty much the same.. but I'll be installing Ubuntu I guess ty [04:37] KB1JWQ: WHAT os YOU USE ON THE SERVERS [04:37] sorry, caps lock [04:38] Korlis: CentOS at this job; FreeBSD previously. [04:38] KB1JWQ: i tried freebsd, pretty awesome. hey, like i said, maybe cisco will port ZFS to Linux now [04:39] ok, i buyed a netbook a few days ago. and i want to change SO to Ubuntu... but I can't... when i'm in the process, it appears a problem. [04:39] ZFS is probably the best FS to have in a production environment [04:39] Korlis: KB1JWQ: I've had 7% failure rate with ext4 ... I'm still not confident with it yet [04:39] kamelotusky: are you able to boot into the LiveCD and run that? [04:40] hi all [04:40] fccf: on what? servers? [04:40] fccf: i just use it at home, my office refuses to get rid of windows [04:40] can someone help me pls [04:40] !ask > pythagoras [04:40] pythagoras, please see my private message [04:40] !question | pythagoras [04:40] pythagoras: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [04:41] hey solar [04:41] anyone help me with karmic? [04:41] is there any body using socket programming on Linux, pls help me [04:41] have a problem with my audio === soulnet5 is now known as cew [04:41] fccf: Yeah, that's what concerns me. [04:41] shane2peru: I have a server farm for testing, over 400 machines, some of which are running ext4 ... I have hired people to run it ... I get status reports once a week [04:41] cannot listen to music [04:41] pthagoras: installed alsa? [04:41] thaikien: what programming?! [04:41] fccf: wow, 7%, that isn't good then [04:41] yes i have [04:42] Java and socket on Linux [04:42] pythagoras: installed all updates? [04:42] !karmic | alksjdfasdfa [04:42] alksjdfasdfa: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 29th, 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [04:42] yes i did ..well i think [04:42] how do I tell ubuntu to turn off the computer in 2 hours ? [04:42] papito: using at [04:42] thaikien: isnt too hard in python... look in google? === soulnet5 is now known as cew_ [04:42] thaikien: socket programming java linux [04:42] papito: read shutdown's man page [04:42] papito: sudo at $TIME_YOU_WANT [04:42] ok, i got no answer... i think i'll go ask some other place. [04:42] bye. [04:42] thanks [04:43] KB1JWQ , thanx [04:43] yes [04:43] is there a tutorial on how to install Ubuntu with a "Home" on a seperate parition? [04:43] shane2peru: KB1JWQ: failures have all been on western digital though, which has been the clear winner in the past [04:43] papito: you should be able to set it in System/Power Management. [04:43] afallenhope: is this a new install? [04:43] I know there's one on "changing" but I'm wondering about during the install process. [04:43] danbhfive yes. I'm completely wiping Windows. [04:43] papito: it makes more sense to use the shutdown command's ability to schedule a shutdown, not to use at [04:43] fccf: hdd failures, or rw failures? I guess if they are all one brand that is narrowing it down some. [04:44] afallenhope: well, changing is harder. All you have to do is do the partitioning, and then assign the partition you want as /home to /home during the install process [04:44] pythagoras: are you admin on your system? [04:44] anyone have any clues..about audio [04:44] yes iam [04:44] pythagoras: open a terminal [04:44] it was working yesterday.. [04:44] type [04:45] shane2peru: my lead tech calls it Loss of Data ...which is of course un-acceptable... reformatting cleans them though and we put them back in line with the other systems [04:45] hi guys [04:45] fccf: yep, that would be rw failure, not hdd failure, that isn't good, odd it is with WD. [04:45] !hi | thirst [04:45] thirst: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [04:46] guys.. i connected my external USB to a mac and tried to format one partition .. but it blew away the entire partition table. :( I had 3 partitions first two of which I know the exact size, any way I can use fdisk to re create the partition table ? [04:46] shane2peru: I think of all the drives I have bought over the years WD has been the most reliable, some are even 10 y.o. and still functioning like brand new [04:47] thirst: yes, but you might loose your data... === rek is now known as GuangXiN [04:47] thirst if you are familiar with fdisk yes, otherwise it would be recommended to use gparted [04:47] thirst: have you already written data to the disk with the MAC? [04:48] jjrev, what will cause me to loose data.. [04:48] thirst: ohh, wait, you meant re-create the partitions, that would be tough with gparted [04:48] jjrev, no. didnt write any data.. Mac data utility returned an error and exited within a second.. and the disk is untouched since.. [04:49] alright, how did you partition the disk previously? [04:49] in fact i tried to delete partition 2, it had no data.. I am interested only in partition 1(ntfs) and 3(ext3) [04:49] anyone know why eclipse is soooooo much slower then windows and also debugger fails in ubuntu ? and any fix? [04:49] I think i originally paritioned the disk on winXp [04:50] is anybody using ebox? [04:50] I found one online resource here http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Partition/recovering.html but wanted to know more details [04:50] thirst: well, as long as you do the same partitions as before (exactly the same) it should be ok [04:50] does anyone know of a good remote desktop for Ubuntu?.... something like teamviewer [04:50] hi nerds [04:50] hi neBulex [04:50] neBulex: lol if u use ubuntu... ur most likely one to [04:51] :) [04:51] RichiH :D [04:51] im jokking [04:51] lol i know === gmaculo_ is now known as gmaculo [04:51] hi | neBulex [04:51] i want to build a gaming computer with Gentoo [04:51] i am to... but it seems to be partly tru ;) [04:51] shane2peru hi [04:51] !hi | neBulex [04:51] neBulex: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [04:51] thirst: yeah, you're going to have to be a little creative when doing that. you have to make sure they are exactly the same size,... [04:52] jjrev, what are the reasons which will cause me to loose data even if I recreate the parition table with the exact same size [04:52] ok [04:52] good luck with that... the gaming support for any linux is terrible as wine is like on of the one f the only best ways to game [04:52] thirst: if they are the same size, then it should be recoverable [04:53] RichiV: plnety of good linux games out there, and crossover games will run pretty much any game i want to play. and with Gentoo i'll be able to fully utilize my hardware [04:53] thirst: if you follow those instructions, it should get you what you want.

[05:26] Fragsworth: Sometimes you can ssh in. [05:26] nope, if your computer totally locks up [05:26] Fragsworth: If wine is locking up X, its likely a graphics driver problem [05:27] you can't do anything from there [05:27] mobi-sheep: that's a great idea, thanks [05:27] !ssh | Fragsworth [05:27] Fragsworth: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for client usage.

[05:50] bruce_: interms of getting a installer bootstraped.. it won't help.. You will need to steel all the kernels from all the different installers in have them in a directory and have grub show a list of them.

[05:51] bruce_: basically you will need to modify the installer for each distro a bit to make it work. [05:51] mobi-sheep, right, got that [05:51] comrade_tuttle: No it doesn't [05:52] mobi-sheep, I was going to format, encrypt and partition the new, boot via old, and cp old to new, and install the MBR on new. that should work right? [05:52] biovore: ooooh that sounds like a challenge....I think I'm up to it...Thanks for my next project. [05:52] nephlim: Backing up home directory should be enough. However, if you wish to backup your /root -- Feel free to do so (in case something breaks). [05:52] bruce_: yeah not a simple thing to work on. [05:52] bruce_: here's an option ... ultimatebootdisk ... and have it point to mount and boot the 300+ iso's that are on the disk, you'd have to remaster the ubd with the instructions for ubd [05:52] I'm thinkin' about install DD-WRT on my router, but the 'supported hardware' page doesn't list my router as working or not working.

[05:54] Newbie_: To get a list of choices. [05:54] or should i just reinstall [05:54] mobi-sheep, I can. I just want to take all my settings like smb.conf and what not, and all of home, and put it on a new, encrypted, bigger, drive [05:54] no [05:54] i'm just tring to decide on the best way to do this [05:54] nephlim: if you want to use the copied system, you will need to update the uuids in /et/fstab, I think [05:54] i folks i've messed with the name of the computer now i get sudo: unable to resolve host i.rock.your.world at each time i sudo... [05:55] Newbie_: Well, try that. Because if you looked at menu.lst -- you can see that Ubuntu are the first thing (default) to be boot. [05:55] everytime i try to ssh to some machine, i get "Received disconnect from 192.168.40.143: 2: Too many authentication failures for root" though i didnt even gave the password yet, from other machines ssh works for 40.143, and 40.143 has no firewall, denyhosts, fail2ban or any such thing, its a fresh ubuntu server install with root ssh allowed [05:55] Newbie_: Reboot. Press ESC -- You should see the list. [05:55] comrade_tuttle: What is the 3rd jack for on it? [05:55] Are there any programs that i can download for xubunut that will allow me to create a virtual windows XP ? [05:55] hi, i have two machines behind a router, one is intrepid, one is xp. for some reason on intrepid all google related websites are very slow to load up- google.com, gmail, picasa etc. what could be the reason? [05:55] thnx [05:55] strongsoul: I was working on that with someone last night ... we had no luck ... I expect it is just a matter of time till some body figures the zte modems out [05:55] Newbie_: Before the times goes away (3...2...1). [05:55] i'll try that [05:55] i have a windows xp and cd ket [05:55] key [05:55] please PM me if u know of a program [05:55] Surprisingly there is a dd-wrt channel [05:55] :/ [05:56] G-man: VirtualBox [05:56] !home | nephlim [05:56] nephlim: Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept.

[05:56] G-man: virtualbox ... and they will help you in #vbox [05:56] !vb | G-man [05:56] Sorry, I don't know anything about vb [05:56] nephlim: You should be able to install new encrypted system on new hard drive. Later, you mount and CP the home partition to the new partition. [05:56] fccf, but ubuntu forum says just plugin and use it [05:56] modem gets detected auto [05:56] but not happening [05:56] mobi-sheep, ok cool. sounds like I had the right idea [05:56] strongsoul: what version of ubuntu?

To change the resolution for your TTY, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution. [05:57] fccf: thanks [05:58] Ghalinger, i think just apache would do [05:58] strongsoul: stand by ... I have possible solution [05:58] what's the difference between primary and logical partitions? [05:58] k1en, thankyou :-) [05:58] wizzo50: component for like HD, you can use that or if you can find a VGA - A/V cable that should work too. [05:58] anyone could help with: http://pastebin.ca/1560754 ? [05:58] nephlim: Basically, you want to do it on tty... but if you don't know tty, use liveCD. I suppose. [05:59] afallenhope: a HD can only do 4 partitions. extended partitions are sub partitions in one of the 4 primary partitions. [05:59] nephlim: It's a terminal. Really. [05:59] fccf, OK [05:59] mobi-sheep, oh, that's easy enough [05:59] strongsoul: copy text here http://paste.ubuntu.com/267718/ to /etc/wvdial.conf and run wvdial.conf and see what happens ... put your username and password in if any or erase the ###'s [05:59] biovore so should I partition everything on the logical parition (installing ubuntu) [06:00] Is there any way to download the ubuntu documentation and the community documentation [06:00] afallenhope: you doing a all on 1 disk install (the OS takes up the hole disk?)

[06:00] wizzo50: no problem, best of luck! [06:01] Sir_Brizz: host file on linux is /etc/hosts [06:01] nephlim: I tend to avoid upgrade.

Try "man intro" at the command line, or see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | Manpages online: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/ [06:02] nephlim: Not really. The only thing I keep is /home and occasionally few other things. I have 2TB HDD so I'm not concerned about storages. :) [06:02] I just wanted to browse the ubuntu community documentation offline which consists of a lot more detail [06:03] is there any way for that [06:03] mobi-sheep, what about custom .configs for samba or apache or conky? [06:03] whats the easiest way to install LAMP? [06:03] ComradeHaz: There is another plug on my video card, Sapphire HD 2400 Pro [06:03] (let me know if i'm asking in the wrong place) can anyone point me to an explanation of what I should do to fix this mistake I made: typed sudo /etc/init.d/xorg/restart (i believe that was the command... was a few days ago). now i don't get anything when trying to boot into this partition. [06:03] arunsukesan: uh .. wget http://wiki.ubuntu.com/ -R ... this would take all night and then some .. you will need alot of space [06:04] nephlim: I don't use conky, samba, or apache frequently. Sometimes you can place them in your home directory... Read manuals for that. [06:04] can you install LAMP from the add/remove programs? [06:04] i found a forum where someone did "stop", than the person helping said "bad idea, but sounds like your issue is hardware anyways," so he didn't go on to explain what the solution to pumping out that command is [06:04] does anybody know of any distros that will see a external usb sound card? [06:05] ComradeHaz: Did you change your user name [06:05] fccf: ok thanks [06:05] fccf, whats that phone parameter ? [06:05] why is it having #777 ?

[06:22] what is CTCP? and why am I receiving from people? [06:23] fufu: It mean the people are too noisy. [06:23] fufu it allows people to see your version and other information [06:23] <_Loki> 4 [06:23] fufu when you asked to stop the leaving messages someone must have wanted to see what IRC client you were using [06:23] jzacsh, you should be able to still get a console screen from your existing install [06:23] fufu: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Client-To-Client_Protocol [06:23] yes it was u [06:23] haha [06:24] fufu yes :) [06:24] otherwise it may be more complicate than fixing xorg [06:24] oobe, i assume you mean chaning session type before logging in, however - after choosing my boot selection in GRUB, nothing happens - just a black screen [06:24] fufu your client didn't fill me with confidence [06:24] jzacsh, sounds like you the system isnt booting at all [06:25] how cute. response is "Purple IRC" [06:25] the simplest solution would be to reinstall [06:25] however you can boot a live cd and try to repair it [06:25] fccf you thetre ? [06:25] oobe, okay - so what i did shouldn't be causing this kind of result? it must be something else? (because the XP partition sitting on the same drive boots fine from GRUB) [06:26] what? r u talking about pidgin? [06:26] jzacsh, yeah exactly it should be quite easy to fix if it was merely a mis configure xorg [06:26] fufu not sure if you figured it out but there is a plugin you need to enable in pidgin " Join/Part Hiding" [06:26] sounds like it could be somthing more serious [06:27] jzacsh: I read part of what you're saying, when you boot to graphics nothing is happening, but you can boot to a terminal for ubuntu right? [06:27] noob question, why is it that ubunto won't accept what i enter as the gateway for my LAN? [06:27] jzacsh, boot a live cd a see if you can chroot into you existing install please google some instructions google ubuntu livecd chroot repair [06:27] idle-pidgin thanks, i checked it.. i guess it works now [06:27] it just goes back to 0.0.0.0 [06:27] the|cheat, no - the boot doesn't make it past GRUB [06:28] fufu if your not seing the joins and parts yes it is. if you want a more full featured irc client install xchat-common [06:29] oobe: shouldn't jzacsh he be able to try safe mode and do a xorg repaire from there? [06:29] Jimbo I don't know how you are configuring it, but you can see if the gateway is changed by the console command "sudo route add default gw " [06:29] thecheat, failsafe terminal (if that's what you mean) doesn't work, i've used it before for other situations - but this is different, i don't get anywhere past grub [06:30] oobe, I'll definitely look this up. thanks for all the help :) cheers!

Two of them are passphrase and bit key.

I'll tell you once again - it's a port forwarding issue with your router. Find out the model. I'll bet you have to connect to it on "http://172.16.0.1/". If you get that far, ask how to configure the port forwarding [06:38] GhostWolfy, should have step by step instructions with screen shots then [06:39] i just bought a router.

[06:41] Techie: May I suggest windows. Marvell has always been dicey. [06:41] so rygot why did you ask me to connect to it then [06:41] GhostWolfy sorry, I stupidly assumed you knew a little about networking [06:41] im trying to pull filles off a server and its trying to import filetypes that are not mp3, its taking hours to add them to the play list [06:41] GhostWolfy I will know assume you know nothing [06:41] eXapid: Exaile,Listen,Banshee....search Synaptic there are tons [06:41] ta idle [06:42] hey all, im trying to clean up my music by removing the duplicates using rm -r *-1.mp3 - anyone know what im screwing up?

[06:42] is "sudo su" the same thing as "root" ???? [06:42] rygot, 172.16.0.0 is not a standard gateway ip it could be 192.168.1.1 or so on [06:42] GhostWolfy just write it all down, or copy and paste what I tell you. It'll come in handy [06:42] oobe it should be, but some of those 2wires use 172.16.0.0 - go figure [06:42] fufu: Yes. [06:43] rygot don't worry oobe gave me that link and has a step by step on the port forwarding problem which i wanna deal with first [06:43] KB1JWQ, is there any version of windows that you would suggest for running a server, im quite fond of XP but im not so sure on how well ti would run as a server [06:43] GhostWolfy the directions I give you will solve all your networking problems in total [06:43] fufu sudo is do a command as if you were the root user. sudo su is using the 'su' command, which basically transforms you into another user.. usage: sudo su (like root) [06:43] Techie: Server 2003 or 2008. [06:43] GhostWolfy don't aim for the "quick fix" with linux. Aim to understand what you are doing and it all becomes easier [06:43] rygot ok well i can't deal with the networking problem right now sorry [06:43] Techie: Yeah. Anything with the word "Server" in it. [06:44] GhostWolfy lol you are dealing with a networking problem [06:44] syntex, given that the box is a 2.6ghz p4 with 512mb RAM [06:44] Techie: Desktop OS's don't support dhcp, dns, etc... [06:44] ty brown people [06:44] Techie: Yes. Server 2003 runs on increadibly small specs. [06:44] first you tell me its a port forwarding problem now you telling me its networking.. wth dude.. how is networking anything to do with me wanting to view someone's webcam on amsn?? [06:44] syntex, i dont need a dhcp server or anything like that, it runs inside a pre defined network === zefyx is now known as _zefyx [06:44] Do I need to have samba installed on both ubuntu machines in a network to be able to see a samba sharded folder? [06:45] Techie: If you're connecting a lot of computers to your "server" I would actually build a server rather than using a pc. [06:45] Techie: ##windows is over there... [06:45] Techie what services do you actally want to run? [06:45] well i don't need to bother with the webcam issue lol [06:45] rygot, mainly game servers, media shares and the like [06:45] anyone know if the updates install the b43 driver + fw? [06:45] or do I have to do that manually? [06:45] I'm LOVING 9 [06:45] Techie personal use? [06:46] rygot, yes [06:46] rygot, Techie: Seriously. ##windows. That way. :-) [06:46] KB1JWQ, im already in there, but i would ask them the time of day [06:46] Techie then XP will be fine. Plus what KB1JWQ said [06:46] and sorry if im being a mule rygot but if you do wanna help me with the networking you can pm me if you want to help me [06:46] I just updated /etc/network/interfaces. how i do iget the changes to take effect on the system? [06:46] GhostWolfy hmm, let me think ... [06:47] Techie: I don't see you in there... [06:47] GhostWolfy ok then [06:47] rygot if you don't i understand i know i was being an ass just certain things i don't understand [06:47] Jerusalem420: service network restart [06:47] Jerusalem420: Maybe service networking restart [06:47] which i do how? [06:47] this channel is boring [06:47] GhostWolfy, it is a networking problem solved by port forwarding incedently amsn won show up on the list of programs but you should be able to read any of them as an example as they are mostly the same amsn's port is 6891 [06:47] james this channel rocks the casba! [06:47] jamesbrink yeah, it gets better when you can read [06:48] oobe, well i got the webcam part working without messin with the port forwarding deal [06:48] GhostWolfy look at your PM [06:48] wow rygot do i actually hear crickets?

[06:51] Jerusalem420, sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [06:51] oh wait.. nevermind. [06:51] fufu: a .txt. is a .txt no matter what OS your using [06:51] oh [06:51] fufu, =) [06:52] so when does NTFS and Linux file system come into play? [06:52] if I type "swap on" and the swap is already on.. will it do anyhting [06:52] Is ubuntu easier to youse than xubuntu? [06:53] afallenhope, probably not [06:53] fufu: simply put samba lets windows and linux talk to each other [06:53] it'll give an error :) === zero is now known as Guest8460 [06:53] G-man to be honest, it's the same. [06:53] it will probably say swap command not found [06:54] then why does everybody use ubuntu? [06:54] oobe: heh, that's what i meant. [06:54] G-man they don't [06:54] G-man it's about what Window Manager/Desktop you want [06:54] lol great minds prince_jammys [06:54] G-man because it's the most common. xubuntu uses xcfe ubuntu uses gnome (default) and kubuntu uses kde [06:54] G-man: xubuntu use XFCE which is a window manager it is designed to be used on lower spec machines but alot of people use it because the like the look and feel [06:54] oobe: at least it's reliable, whether you have swap on or not. [06:55] yeah lol [06:55] in my opinion xcfe is more customizable [06:55] thats how they trained karate kid swap on swap off [06:56] ah [06:57] i'm using the GUI to edit 'wired connection 1' and my apply button is greyed out. whats up with that? [06:57] is anyone aware of issues with geforce 250 cards on ubuntu [06:57] hi - is there a special channel for server problems? [06:57] i have mine in SLI config and when i update to the newest kernel on 9.04 it hangs [06:57] jamesbrink no. Next!

I really did not want to open the box back up [07:02] ... [07:02] i was just curious if anyone else had similar config without issues [07:02] rygot: may I message you? [07:03] IdleOne no. Thank you for asking first though. [07:03] jamesbrink: okay. another thing to try then would be to boot it without the 'quiet splash' options (so that you can see all the text when it does boot - maybe it will show you the error then) [07:03] i want to know the command to find out broken packages and to repair them [07:03] rygot: sure thing :) [07:03] hi all, does somedoby here can recommend ubuntu as a web server? [07:03] IdleOne of course [07:03] marekw2143, use minihttp [07:04] oh actually Gnea it will boot, its loading xorg that causes it to hang.. im gona check the logs real quick.. but im betting they are empty [07:04] jamesbrink: sounds good [07:04] when i first updated gui failed to load so i issued Xorg -configre and moved it to ect/X11/xorg.conf [07:04] marekw2143, im sure if you ask enough people someone will i personally use it as a web server [07:04] leave: what's that? [07:05] marekw2143, minihttpd is a mini web server [07:05] jamesbrink: aaah - that would probably be why. the better way to reconfigure X in ubuntu, these days, is like this: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [07:06] jamesbrink: not sure if that'll do it or not, but worth a shot [07:06] any way to find a file that have a certain line of text by the line of text? [07:06] cool yeah i will try that next boot [07:06] right now im just falling back on original kernel [07:06] oobe: do you have any comparance between others os'es? [07:06] thanks Gnea [07:07] leave: I'll use apache [07:07] If I installed sidux linux onto a free partion, would I have to reinstall grub? [07:07] Hey guys, Do any of you know if there is a plugin or a FileBrowser app that have a shell cmd field, so you can run certain commands directly from the browser gui ? [07:08] marekw2143, apache is fine [07:08] marekw2143, no offence but your questions are quite vague what you need to do is figure out exactly what you want your server and see if you ubuntu can do it ( but the answer will be yes) as it has a very large repository of software and is highly configuable with loads of documentation [07:09] syntex: does sydux also use grub? [07:09] hello [07:09] figured it out ty [07:09] yes [07:09] ciao [07:09] i have an issue with graphics [07:09] 有？ [07:09] IdleOne: I haven't been able to see anything about it's boot loader yet.

[07:15] marekw2143, but the end result is much the same [07:16] honestly, there is no unbreakable encryption as of today on the public market, so sha is my choice for encrypting [07:16] it really depends on the complexity and length of the password [07:16] marekw2143, for company ubuntu-server will be better [07:16] vavar: http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2005/02/sha1_broken.html ?

Only preinstalled packages ? [07:24] NeroGoth, just ask [07:24] nephlim: what is your need ? [07:25] marekw2143: the server installation is also optimised for enterprise class hardware, if you are running on home PC kit, the desktop option would be a better option [07:25] i need to justify my need for security? [07:25] I can Create or Make a Link of a file or such, how do I edit that link? Or better yet see where it is linked to so I know where the file actually exist. For example my link to FoxFire, but where is the bin and so forth, easiest solution, look at where the launching link goes, but hwo do I do that? [07:25] nephlim: well yes as it's clear your not confident with what you're doing, it may help [07:25] ikonia: what does it mean that it's optimized? [07:26] marekw2143: certain kernel options are enabled, [07:26] ikonia, the ability to drive does not negate the need or desire, does it? [07:26] nephlim: if you could explain your need we may be able to better guide you [07:26] i just want security and I've never done and ENTIRE disk encryption [07:26] can enable them when compiling kernel in desktop distro too? [07:26] nephlim: ok - do it then [07:27] FYI From GUI please [07:27] nephlim: try truecrypt or cryptsetup [07:27] marekw2143: http://tinyurl.com/nqdwur [07:27] marekw2143: you can but if you're kernel compiling you're pretty much defeating the object of pre-packaged distros [07:27] i don't mean to be sassy or anything, i'm just green with this kind of operation === mike is now known as Guest94278 [07:27] Gelegrodan, aye, great program [07:27] nephlim: yes, it's not a beginners topic really [07:27] NeroGoth: i don't remember if the links made by gnome are actual symlinks or .desktop files. if they are the latter, you can open them with a text editor and look at them. [07:28] hello [07:28] nephlim: Use guided encryption system. It'll set up everything for you. It's your first time. Let it deal with it so you can see how it is... and if you're satisfied with it.

[07:32] does ubuntu server have stable packages? [07:32] marekw2143: yes. [07:32] i'd expect them to be 'stabler' than the desktop ones. [07:33] prince_jammys: why? [07:33] Gnea: thx ;] [07:33] aren't the server releases all LTS releases? [07:33] just an assumption, since it's the server edition. [07:33] gandhi_: no [07:33] oh ok, my bad [07:34] prince_jammys: have you ever looked at the sources.list file of the desktop and server editions side-by-side? [07:34] never [07:34] prince_jammys: the repositories are the same from the desktop edition [07:34] prince_jammys: they're identical. [07:34] so much for my assumption. [07:34] :) [07:34] i figured the server ones would be like debian stable ones and desktop like testing. [07:35] but i guess i just made that up. [07:35] prince_jammys: No, if you want stable you stick to LTS [07:35] what up! [07:35] prince_jammys: anything that's officially 'Ubuntu", like 'Xubuntu', 'Kubuntu' and so on - they all use the same repositories, thus, all the same packages. [07:35] so...what's goin on? [07:36] Gnea: gotcha. I knew that part, but thought 'server' was something different from what it is. [07:36] prince_jammys: try installing the same 9.04 release of various releases of Ubuntu, get them updated, then install the same package on each (say, apache2) then run an md5sum on each .deb file - guaranteed it's going to be the same on all. [07:37] prince_jammys: nope, it's just setup differently, without a GUI and a different installer. [07:37] i steer clear of 9.04 ;) [07:37] * Zachk18 is away: I am presently otherwise engaged.

LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Hardy (Hardy Heron 8.04). The next LTS release is scheduled to be 10.04 [07:40] marekw2143: No, they're stable enough. But they're newer versions. Older versions are, as a general rule, more stable. [07:40] * Zachk18 is away: [07:40] marekw2143: just because it's not LTS doesn't mean it's not stable. [07:40] Does anyone know how to go advanced mode in cairo-dock configuration? [07:40] Gnea, ubottu, Flannel: thx :) [07:40] * Zachk18 is back (gone 00:00:52) [07:41] marekw2143: Think Xbox360. In RROD in first 3 years than the latter versions of Xbox360. [07:41] Zachk18: Please turn that off, thanks [07:41] More, not in. [07:41] Zachk18: please leave. fix it, then come back. [07:41] does any one know is this a valid command apt-get --fix-broken [07:42] looks like it. [07:42] same as apt-get -f [07:42] i accidently removed network mangaer from my panel.i am not able to view which wireless networks are available.how to add it to panel again [07:42] mobi-sheep: i don't have xbox, what was the problem? [07:42] pradeep: Right-click on the panel. Add it again. [07:43] mobi-sheep:add it from where [07:43] WishingMaster: if i type this: man apt-get and search for --fix-broken, it tells me it's the same as -f [07:43] Gnea,ok [07:43] Is somewhere out there in the multiverse a good stable and working ftp server? [07:43] marekw2143: Bad case design. Overheating and not enough air flows. The latter Xbox360 were a bit differently for better flowings and less CPU. More fans. [07:44] pradeep: From the panels. Gnome-panel. The bottom/top panels. [07:44] Solar_Flare: proftpd, vsftpd [07:44] Gnea: pure-ftpd wasn't really working. dont know why. thx [07:44] Solar_Flare: cheers [07:44] marekw2143: Same thing for iPhone. Basically, wait until second or third generation before you buy them. ;) [07:44] mobi-sheep: i know that network notification is not available in the list [07:44] Hi, I have a slight problem, When I was in windows a minute ago (dual boot) I muted the sound, now back in ubuntu, the sound shows as unmuted but I don't hear anything. How can I unmute the sound without having to boot back into windows? [07:44] Solar_Flare: What are you intending to use it for? actual ftp? or would sftp work just as well? [07:45] mobi-sheep: ;] [07:45] bod: use the mixer [07:45] Flannel: It should be a "real" server. Best with SSL. [07:45] or SSH. [07:45] Gnea: all devices are shown as nun muted and full volume === m0v is now known as Chacon [07:45] mobi-sheep: so generally ubuntu 9.04 server is better than ubuntu 8.04 server LTS? [07:45] bod: Master controls the whole thing, but PCM controls regular sounds and music [07:45] Solar_Flare: Since, sftp is easier to set up, and you gain encryption [07:45] is there a way to restore in ubuntu like system restore in xp? [07:46] bod: is pulseaudio or alsa the preferred output in System->Preferences->Sound? [07:46] WishingMaster: no === xtr-II is now known as xtr [07:46] WishingMaster: but there is a recovery console which might help [07:46] marekw2143: No. It shouldn't matter because you won't see GUI. You won't actively use them -- However, as for servers, you can use either. Should be okay with either too. [07:46] WishingMaster: like a windows safe mode [07:46] Flannel: it should just serve files on a silver plate and prevent users from f. with my system. [07:46] Solar_Flare: to install sftp (which is over ssh, ftps is over ssl) just install openssh-server, and voila. [07:46] Gnea: what program does that run? I am not using gnome [07:46] nothing fancy with magic or something ¹^^ [07:46] indus,i can log into recovery mode [07:46] bod: what are you using? [07:47] WishingMaster: and? [07:47] anyone help me fixing my gnome panel [07:47] Gnea: blackbox [07:47] can you backup all of your drivers on ubuntu? [07:47] how about packages in 8.04 server LTS - can it use packages from repository of 9.04? [07:47] can it be restored to the default panel [07:47] bod: if you use alsa, 'alsamixer' [07:47] indus, i can activate mu sub modem with wvdial [07:47] pradeep: why what did u do [07:47] bod: awesome! :) type this in a terminal: gnome-sound-properties [07:47] prince_jammys: all sliders are full, still no sound [07:47] WishingMaster: whats a sub modem? [07:47] mezzovento: No. You shouldn't mix repository versions [07:48] indus,i am sorry for that its a usb modem [07:48] indus: i accidentally removed network notification, my battery info display etc from the panel [07:48] specifically, can I back up a wireless driver? I had to compile it from source with lots of patches to get it working and I don't want/think-I-can-remember how to get it working again if I need to in 9.10 [07:48] WishingMaster: aah use network manager for this, go to mobile broadband option and do it [07:48] Gnea: sorry, bare with me, have to install gnome-control-center to get that program [07:48] marekw2143: better to use ppa software [07:48] !ppa | marekw2143 [07:48] marekw2143: With Launchpad's Personal Package Archives (PPA), you can build and publish binary Ubuntu packages for multiple architectures simply by uploading an Ubuntu source package to Launchpad. See https://help.launchpad.net/PPAQuickStart. [07:48] indus,i told you that i can log into a non-gui session only [07:49] bod: ok [07:49] WishingMaster: ok sorry missed it [07:49] indus,i dont have graphics driver installed on my sys [07:49] marekw2143: usually ppa handles backports to LTS for newer software [07:49] WishingMaster: hmm then how could you use wvdial? its cli based? [07:49] indus:?? [07:49] indus,i just type wvdial [07:49] bod: what i do (maybe this is old) is asoundconf list to see the card names, then asoundconf set-default-card CARDNAME. if that doesn't work you can try sudo alsa force-reload [07:50] indus,it works fine [07:50] i guess seamless mode from virtual ubuntu to actual ubuntu doesnt work too well -.- *sigh* [07:50] pradeep: the network applet is a system process and you have to enable it in system>preferences>asessions [07:50] indus,i want to know how to get promt after i initialize the modem through wvdial [07:51] WishingMaster: what prompt? [07:51] indus, line where i can type a command [07:51] WishingMaster: hmm you said you type wvdial in recovery console? [07:52] * Zachk18 is away: I'm not available.

[07:53] bod: that's the extent of my knowledge on the matter :) [07:54] indus,but there is no command prompt for next command input [07:54] prince_jammys: ok, cheers dude [07:54] * Zachk18 is back (gone 00:00:37) [07:54] welcome [07:54] bod: has sound ever worked?

[07:54] WishingMaster: maybe open another console? like ctl alt f3 or something, although iam not sure thats what u want [07:54] even works with remote [07:54] !anyone | fufu [07:54] fufu: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [07:55] indus,if i press ctrl+z then them modem is stopped and i get a command prompt [07:55] WishingMaster: you mean the wvdial does not show u some text window?

[07:56] WishingMaster: did u do all the login pasasword etc?

Anyone able to help a bit with a fglrx driver issue? [08:01] marekw2143 the error is telling you there is a lock file. The lock file is created when a program is run. It seems it was not deleted. You've looked in /var/run manually? [08:01] marekw2143: do you use firebird? [08:01] bod: heh, if they were fine, there'd be sound ;) has sound EVER worked for you on this system? [08:01] I don't know how to creat a shortcut in xubuntu [08:02] rygot: yes, and in /var/run there's no postgres directory [08:02] Zachk18: no, postgres [08:02] Gnea: It works usually yes. It will work first time if I reboot to windows and un-mute the sound from there, but why do I have to do this in windows?

On other ubuntu machine (8.10 too), when postgres was installed from sources, there werent any problems like that [08:14] but i am in the grub folder right now. its just that i cant copy anything into it [08:14] You said you want to copy a file to ".../boot/grub", well, "..." is not a valid directory. [08:14] i can't copy one partition to another: "has_journal, dir_index, filetype, sparse_super and large_file. use tine2fs or debugfs to remove features" [08:14] what does that mean?

Synaptics only offers 0.8.1 which is missing important features I like to use. I got the tarball which I downloaded and untared to ~/Downloads/freemind. In the documentation it says: double click freemind.jar in the lib/ folder of the folder in which FreeMind has been installed.... [08:19] ...There is no freemind.jar in that lib/ folder, which I suppose means, it isn't properly installed. I found one occurrence of that file in ~/Downloads/bin/dist/lib which seems a wired location to me. After changing the permissions I was able to start the program and also create a panel icon for it. Which was what I wanted to get help for from you guys. I figured it out my self, while...

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [10:01] jim_p u didn't check in the downloading page ? [10:01] ActionParsnip: exactly as the website says "sudo b43-fwcutter -w /lib/firmware wl_apsta-3.130.20.0.o" [10:01] chalcedny: maybe the sata card isnt configured and needs messing with [10:01] EXTACYs: its not MY installation [10:02] Hansard: what is the output of: ls -al /lib/firmware wl_apsta-3.130.20.0.o [10:02] MY=Malaysia?? [10:02] ActionParsnip: I think when I sudo cp the files from my usb drive to /lib/ that they might have the wrong permissions now (in the file browser gui they have a little orange circle with an X in it up the top right hand corner. [10:02] ActionParsnip: Cannot open input file wl_apsta-3.130.20.0.o [10:02] Hansard: sudo with supercede any permissions [10:02] Hansard: there you go, the file doesnt exist [10:02] hi, are there any RSS feeds for package updates to the latest LTS release?

[10:12] lexr: i suggest LXDE or XFCE [10:12] lexr: p3 coppermines are awesome [10:12] ActionParsnip, hi [10:12] WishingMaster: dont log on as root [10:13] ActionParsnip,you must be knowing about apt-get --f [10:13] thanks :) [10:13] WishingMaster: i know -f but not --f [10:13] action, i have one out of 2 of my ubuntu machines online w/ the router [10:13] ActionParsnip,ok [10:14] but my primamry machine is stil not getting dns info [10:14] WishingMaster: --f doesnt exist [10:14] suggestions? [10:14] ActionParsnip: nevermind, the space is supposed to be there, I looked up the input parameters for b43-fwcutter.. it's the target directory. My problem was that I should have put the original files into home instead of /lib. [10:14] ActionParsnip,so if run apt-get -f-broken what should i see [10:14] WishingMaster: sudo apt-get -f install [10:14] hi guys I've upgraded my ubuntu first from 8.04 -> 8.10 and after that to 9.04 [10:14] WishingMaster: or sudo apt-get --fix-broken install [10:15] ActionParsnip,what will that do.......apt-get -f install [10:15] I used edubuntu packages before and my gnome is edubuntunized [10:15] WishingMaster: the commands are synonymous [10:15] WishingMaster: read man pages, they tell you much: http://linux.die.net/man/8/apt-get [10:15] after the upgrade my button on System that said Shut Down disappeared [10:15] ActionParsnip,i have broken packages [10:15] how do you put a bootable .iso meant for CD to USB stick? [10:15] WishingMaster: then you need that command [10:15] still I see some of the edubuntu gnome stuff when I login can I remove all this crap [10:16] and revert it to default gnome outlook / menus etc.? [10:16] JyZyXEL: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/usb-ubuntu-904-persistent-install-windows/ [10:16] ActionParsnip I find apt very undesirable. Just like not using root, one should not use apt, but aptititude. Thank you for your time. [10:16] ActionParsnip: no not ubuntu.iso [10:16] but totally different .iso [10:17] hI [10:17] in the terminal when I hit "UP" it shows up as ^[[A [10:17] hello ) [10:17] rygot: i find apt very satisfactory. i also actively uninstall aptitude via script on my new installs. You will also notice a lot of the official documentation online uses apt-get. thank you for your time [10:17] I am having difficulty with my torrents. 0KB up and its only downloading one torrent. Any idea how to fix this? [10:17] I would like to report a bug with wl drier on BCM4312, I don't know where to post [10:17] JyZyXEL: that will do any linux iso [10:17] someone may tell me ? [10:17] ActionParsnip: its not linux iso [10:17] ActionParsnip aptitude has more advanced conflict/dependency resolution than other tools, it has far more advanced searching available. Aptitude can also remove or purge one package at the same time as installing others all from the command line, making it much easier to recover from broken dependencies. [10:18] JyZyXEL: then you are in the wrong channel [10:18] no im not [10:18] !bug [10:18] Thank you for your time. [10:18] If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » If that fails, you can report bugs manually at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug - Bugs in/wishes for the bots can be filed at http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [10:18] rygot: just because it has more features doent make it better in any way [10:18] rygot: i have never used aptitude as apt-get does all i need [10:19] ActionParsnip: that help page you gave me worked. I am on the net now. Thank you very much; you just saved me having to buy a new wifi card. :) [10:19] I am having difficulty with my torrents. 0KB up and its only downloading one torrent. Any idea how to fix this? [10:19] rygot: and i advise users on what i am familiar wit, rather than a tool i have never used [10:19] But I think Ubuntu don't care about *drivers*' bugs [10:19] Hansard: good lad :) [10:19] ActionParsnip,so i am going to run apt-get -f install..........is that right? [10:19] so I want to post in a place whre my post will be read and cared [10:19] WishingMaster: should be fine [10:19] ActionParsnip aptitude is far superior. It is not a matter of "extra features" [10:19] ActionParsnip,see you later with feedback [10:20] rygot: ive used apt-get since gutsy and never had a single issue [10:20] ActionParsnip,bye for now [10:20] ActionParsnip just as many women have had sex without protection but didn't get pregnant. It'll happen sooner or later [10:20] rygot: lets make this simple, you use aptitude and i'll use apt-get and the world will not explode [10:20] lol since gutsy .... [10:20] that long, huh? [10:20] rygot: thats when i picked up ubuntu [10:20] nelson_> Bugs are reported and addressed in launchpad, referred to by ubottu, above. [10:21] rofl [10:21] rygot: ? [10:21] hi everybody ! [10:21] I thought with the new apt-get, there was basically no real difference in dependency handling? [10:21] frogzoo: That's correct [10:21] ah, sweet :D [10:22] is it possible to run an application via ssh and make that app continues running even the remote connection is closed ? [10:22] thanks in advance for helping [10:22] paissad-hp: Check out screen [10:22] paissad-hp: i think screen will do it [10:22] !screen | paissad-hp [10:22] paissad-hp: Screen is a window manager for terminal sessions, also useful over SSH. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Screen [10:22] paissad-hp: nohup command [10:22] actually, "nohup command &" [10:22] ActionParsnip ah sorry ... I've been using linux so long I was using it when apt and aptitude were both developed. You do know apt didn't start with ubuntu? Anyway, now that I know you're a newb I'll leave you to it [10:22] frogzoo, nohup works also for ssh connections even if the connection is closed ? [10:23] Sidewinder1 > So launchpad retarget bugs reports to the right development team ? [10:23] if I put another ide cable so I can attach another hdd, is it safe thing to do? [10:23] paissad-hp: I don't see why not [10:23] Is there a way of fixing the terminal so "tab" autocompletes? [10:23] motherboards cable has only 2 and I need 3 places. Should I replace it? [10:23] nelson_> That is correct. [10:23] ok thx [10:23] rygot: Please ditch the attitude. [10:23] welks [10:24] rygot: ive been using linux since mandrake 7 [10:24] hi i am havjng problems with ubuntu 8.04 If i ear a youtube video and i try later to play a song with vlc, audacious,.. i get no sounds... Anyone may help me? I can't either set the volume... [10:25] Flannel I offered the sound advice that aptitude is superior to apt. That was challenged by someone with relatively little experience with the statement "it's always worked for me, so there is no problem." This is patently false. Do you challenge the notion that aptitude is superior to apt? [10:25] rygot: you really need to get over yourself [10:25] ActionParsnip lol wow since mandrake 7, huh? [10:25] ActionParsnip: Just drop it [10:25] Flannel: can you help here [10:25] rygot: There's no difference in the way they handle dependencies anymore. [10:26] thank you [10:26] Flannel yes, there still is. Unless you know better than both the apt and aptitude developers. I suggest you ditch the attitude and research your statements. [10:26] Thank you. [10:26] rygot: No, there isn't. Please drop it. [10:27] rygot: why is apt-get stil part of a default install of ubuntu then if its so appauling? maybe you know better than the ubuntu dev team huh? [10:27] rygot: There hasn't been for a number of years now [10:27] Flannel yes there is. You have been told. I suggest you research what you are saying then apologize to me. Thank you for your time. I will enter into no more discussion about the matter. [10:27] Flannel you are wrong. [10:31] WishingMaster: hello [10:32] indus,hi [10:32] ActionParsnip,u there> [10:32] WishingMaster: sup [10:33] ActionParsnip,i tried apt-get -f install [10:33] how do I find out if my kernel supports my usb modem?

[10:41] WishingMaster: ive not used usb wan in ubuntu dude. do you have a list of packages that are "bad"? [10:41] frogzoo: still having problems with your modem? basically there is no need for modem-support, just for the usb2serial support. plug it and check dmesg|tail [10:41] ActionParsnip,yes i do [10:42] nibbler_: I have one of these nutjob modems that have memory, so you have to jigger usb_modeswitch to disable the apparent cdrom on the device [10:42] ActionParsnip,is there a command to install/repair them one by one [10:42] WishingMaster: then note them down and boot normally, then you could run: sudo apt-gte --reinstall install [10:42] apt-get sorry [10:42] nibbler_: if I could get a /dev/ttyUSB I'd be fine from there, but no [10:43] ActionParsnip,do i have to put , to seperate the package names? [10:43] frogzoo: what does dmesg tell you, when plugging in the device? [10:43] WishingMaster: a space [10:44] ActionParsnip,okay,i will get back to you with feedback [10:44] what is your favorite irc client in ubuntu?

[10:45] irssi [10:46] nibbler_: that's why you have to use usb_modeswitch - but all the howtos don't mention this device, which is somewhat new [10:46] hi [10:47] frogzoo: ahhh ok, just reading about it, never heared of that... [10:47] nibbler_: heh - you don't want to neither :) [10:49] i had a report on my ubuntu server [10:50] what does this mean?

I've downloaded the ubuntu 9.04 iso 3 times and I can never get it installed. The first time it all goes smoothly until I see a message saying something about moving my machine into a cooler room. the second time the cd is just too slow for anything to load. the third time the cd wont boot. i just went to the site, downloaded the 32-bit version and burnt it onto a cd using iso recorder on windows vista. what am i doing wrong? [11:08] erUSUL: you are crazy )) [11:08] Is there a list of supported ati cards? [11:08] ah thx [11:09] checked the cds its all ok [11:09] joejacobs, bit worried about "I see a message saying something about moving my machine into a cooler room" [11:09] joejacobs: sounds like a bad burner [11:09] joejacobs: try dvd version [11:09] did you create all those cd's using the same drive? [11:09] joejacobs: try alternate installer disk! [11:09] joejacobs, is the machine overheating? [11:09] laclasse: nope i've made sure it isnt [11:10] nibbler_: ok will do [11:10] joejacobs, as nibbler says, when all fails, try the alternate installer [11:10] ok thx guys will try that [11:10] i have a sata drive (new) with my data transferred to it, i need to install grub on it so the computer can boot with it. How do i do that? [11:10] alternate isntaller is better anyway, as it supports encrypted / in contrary to the normal one [11:10] joejacobs you may be able to make your machine cooler by changing fan speed in cmos, maybe the other probs are associated with that [11:10] or try opening the case [11:11] it's a notebook if that makes any diff [11:11] i'll try the alternate installer n see how it goes [11:11] thxx [11:11] chalcedony, you need to chroot into the new system drive and run grub-install from there [11:11] joejacobs: good luck [11:11] hi all, I want to try Lubuntu, on the wikipedia page it says there is a LiveCD of 9.10b14 lubuntu but I can't find it online. any ideas ? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lubuntu [11:11] guys how old are you?

[11:14] laclasse, ive spent 4 days trying to get it to see the drive. i'm so tired of it [11:14] oooooh [11:14] ikonia, my son is one of the original linpeople who created debian [11:14] chalcedony, its not the most straightforward thing to do :| === sourcode[0] is now known as sales [11:14] chalcedony: ok - you do know this is ubuntu support channel, and that has no relevence in here [11:14] laclasse, the black screen with the little - blinking .. blech [11:14] chalcedony: so get your son to do it :) [11:15] frogzoo1, he grew up got jobs .. moved to texas [11:15] What do you feel most good about the latest jaunty release?

[11:22] chalcedony: can you give a high level expliation of the problem please [11:22] hey guys I have a question... I am on ubuntu with scsi drives ..on the last several versions of ubuntu ..when booting in..it drops to initramfs at which point I have to type "exit" so that it boots...I know I can go into /boot/grub/menu.lst and add rootdelay-40 to the kernel stanza ..this opten dsables a applications I use to change that file via gui ...my question is there an alternative to adding this line ? [11:22] rather rootdelay=40 [11:22] and also what exactly am I doing with this line? [11:23] coz_: you are making the kernel wait longer for the root fs to become aviable [11:23] ikonia: i decided to compile it because I noticed that apache2 configuration file was split in many parts in packaged version, so I was not sure I would properly understand the guide I found in the web [11:23] coz_: probably initalicing the your scsi disks takes longer than expected for some reason [11:24] erUSUL, ok and is there an alternative to this or perhaps a different delay number [11:24] Flannel, he had me get that, http://download.linux-live-cd.org/Super_Grub_Disk/download/binaries/sgd/cdrom/super_grub_disk_0.9795.iso told me to reboot and do things.. but it won't boot to the drive. my friend tried with a gentoo live cd.. it can see the drive but not afterward, if i reboot. [11:24] hi! can someone help me change regdomain and countrycode on madwifi? [11:24] ikonia, see above post to Flannel [11:24] coz_: where do you add that line ? tried in the "defoptions" line ? [11:25] Flannel, ikonia he = my son (sorry i'm so tired) [11:25] seva1: how as does the apache config file relate to the bind9 version in the repo ? [11:25] seva1: if you are going to build your own software you should know how to manage the config file [11:26] chalcedony: what is the actual fault you have with your system [11:26] is there any way for a website to have access to the username of the person logged in? [11:26] erUSUL, in the /boot/grub/menu.lst in the kernel stanza [11:26] wondering if it's a security or privacy issue to have your username as your full name [11:27] Hansard_: only if basic auth is enabled on the webserver [11:27] coz_: try in the defconf line that maybe makes your gui app happier [11:27] Hansard_: and no, this won't usually be your unix login [11:27] when I manually compiled apache, there was one httpd.conf file with all settings, so I thought there is the same with bind9 [11:27] coz_: then run « sudo update-grub » [11:27] ok thanks hoover [11:27] seva1: there is only one named.conf file in the ubuntu packaged version [11:28] erUSUL, the same rootdelay=40 in the defoptions line itself/ [11:28] seva1: you can still make your own config file, however #bind may be a better place for your custom build support [11:28] coz_: yep just before the quiet and splash options already there [11:28] erUSUL, ok I will give that a whirl here now and check its effects ..thanks :) [11:29] ikonia, it can't boot to the drive. it said control z to key into user window, it shows info about the raid and the drive. but if i had not hit conrol z for user screen.. it would be a black screen with a blinking - in the top left corner. [11:29] coz_: the line woul look « # defoptions=quiet splash rootdelay=40 » (note that you have to keep the # ) [11:29] ikonia: thanks for the advice [11:29] chalcedony: so a disk in your raid array has failed yes/no ? [11:29] erUSUL, got it thanks again :) will test it shortly [11:30] Somebody please help: I registered my IRC nickname on NICKSERV, but now when i try to use that nickname, it says it's already taken....any idea how to log on witrh my registered nick?

I updated my system and now my wireless has stopped working again [11:32] * chalcedony pats Hansard_ gently [11:32] chalcedony: ok so what disk can't you see ? [11:32] ikonia, it can't see the sata drive . [11:32] damn you update manager!! [11:33] chalcedony: ok has this disk ever worked ? [11:34] ikonia, the drive was in my box when my son transferred the data from the failing eide drive to it.. and then we got the adapter card and tried to get it to work in the mailserver box.. so far.. it can only be seen with a live cd. [11:34] y have a Phusion Passenger problem: "The application spawner server exited unexpectedly: Unexpected end-of-file detected." Can't get why this is happening. [11:34] Willkomt bruderz [11:34] action appears to have left... he gave me this to follow https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx and it worked and then I updated my system and rebooted and the wireless has stopped working again... can anyone suggest anything please? [11:34] chalcedony: so you can see the disk when you boot into the livecd, but you can't see the disk from your system ? === kuttappan is now known as asg8516 [11:35] ikonia, yes it was giving a failure error.. and now the black screen with the flashing _ [11:35] TrOllz? [11:35] chalcedony: does the machine boot ? [11:35] Tukson: pardon ? [11:36] ikonia, how do you mean ? [11:36] erUSUL, well that had no effect at all :) [11:36] ikonia: Can I help you? [11:36] chalcedony: is your operating system on this disk, and does the operating system boot [11:36] Tukson: you just said "TrOllz?" - [11:37] yes, I said brotha === McPeter_ is now known as McPeter [11:37] hey [11:37] ikonia, i think thats what the supergrub cd was supposed to have accomplished. the old drive had ubuntu 8.04 on it .. nothing actually boots but the live cd (gentoo) at this point [11:37] What ports need I forward for ctorrent to work with a router/firewall between lan and wan sides? [11:37] chalcedony: ok so you can't boot from your pci sata card - is that right ? [11:37] Tukson, are you insuating that i'm trolling? [11:38] ikonia, yes [11:38] It seems that other clients work here, but ctorrent not [11:38] hey anyone have the issue of the Internet connection dying after a suspend? [11:38] just for example the test for my keyboard [11:38] insinuating even [11:38] chalcedony: ok so does your board allow you to boot from that card in the bios === david_ is now known as dantonic [11:39] chalcedony: it's clear the card/disk are working as you can see them in the livecd, but if your motherboard won't allow you to boot from that card, there is no fix that will sort it [11:39] anyone know how to roll back an update? I need to get my wireless working again [11:39] ikonia, ok then i can give up and transfer the data to the new eide drive i bought ? [11:40] ((((( ActionParsnip ))))))) === i00nsu_ is now known as iGNUrar [11:40] sup [11:40] chalcedony: if your board supports booting off that - that seems a good idea [11:40] Hansard_, don't do that let ActionParsnip help you get your wireless working [11:40] the Gubuttu linuks 18.1 - Hormonal Penguin release candidate edition when will starting? [11:40] oh thank god he's back [11:40] ? [11:40] good idea chalcedony [11:40] :) [11:41] ActionParsnip: I updated all my programs with update manager, it asked for a reboot, I rebooted and now my wireless is broken again. [11:41] ikonia, the drive is in the box, what do i need to do to transfer the data besides plugiging the eide connector and power connector in? [11:41] Hansard_: did you get a new kernel? [11:41] I was running fresh from the current 9.1 iso. [11:41] i love uubntu. [11:42] chalcedony: mount the two disks and copy the data [11:42] paco_the_taco: ok - thats nice, however keep in mind this channel is for support discussion only [11:42] Anyone know where i can get a wmp9 codec? rhythmbox is moaning at me all the time, :/ [11:42] ActionParsnip: no, pretty sure it just updated programs, not the kernel.

[11:42] ActionParsnip: oh ok [11:43] GingerBrigham1: ask the channel your question [11:43] How do I change my DHCP IP on ETH0 to a static IP on Ubuntu 9.04 Server using command line? [11:43] freeloader: look into "PS1" [11:43] ikonia: but the router doesn't forward any ports specifically [11:43] Jaco: depends if you are using gnome desktops network manager applet === HaCk is now known as Guest18731 [11:43] padi999: firewall blocking ? [11:43] No, it's command line only [11:43] ikonia: I have /w in PS1... [11:43] Jaco: you can use network manager or you can put the data in /etc/network/interfaces [11:43] Jaco: look at /etc/network/interfaces file [11:43] Jaco: then you must use /etc/network/interfaces [11:44] just installed and got internet connection. trying to get updates but it says i've no room on my hdd!!! tried to open gparted but says i don't have privilege to open it? [11:44] freeloader: so that shows present working directory [11:44] ikonia: I checked with wireshark, ktorrent uses a lot of ports between rougly 38000 and 55000 [11:44] Hey guys! Does someone know how to make the "Select pattern" command in nautilus case INsensitive? [11:44] padi999: that makes sense [11:44] Jaco: sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces then read this: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/setting-up-an-network-interfaces-file/ [11:44] ikonia, my BIOS appears to be seeing the drive (and to do so, must see the card as well) , no? [11:44] ikonia: it does, but as ~ instead of /home/USER [11:44] chalcedony: that doesn't mean you can boot for it [11:44] Ahh, i have restricted-extras on already. how can i find the codec to install thou? [11:44] * chalcedony smiles [11:44] freeloader: ahhh ~ is the symbol for home [11:45] freeloader: change it to PS1=`pwd` [11:45] ikonia: no blocking specifically, I mean, I thought it could be a port-forwarding thing, but then why would it work with ktorrent but not with ctorrent [11:45] !codecs | CoUrPsE [11:45] CoUrPsE: 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 [11:45] padi999: yes, that is confusing [11:45] Is there a command line version of the network manager or something I can install to make the process a little less hairy for a beginner...? [11:45] Yeah. ikonia just told me that. [11:45] Jaco: use the gui then [11:45] But it only tells me to install *-extras [11:45] And i already have., [11:45] Jaco: that's why there is a gui, if you need a gui use it, if you want to use the command line, use it, but a command line gui - what's the point [11:46] ikonia: I tried that, but for some reason it would only display the /home/USER once, and when i change directory, it sticks with /home/USER [11:46] I installed the 64bit version of Ubuntu Server 9.04 so I don't know if there is a GUI available? [11:46] ikonia, can you elaborate on this ? my helper guy wants to keep pursuing it [11:46] CoUrPsE: then you have a tonne of codecs installed, extras is a metapackage whih installs other packages to give you stuff [11:46] chalcedony: if your bios can see the disk, that's great, it doesn't mean you bios can boot from that disk on the external card [11:46] It starts up straight into the command line [11:46] Jaco: if you read the guide, its not hard at all [11:46] Jaco: install ubuntu-desktop package and you'll get a gui [11:46] I need the server [11:47] Jaco: /etc/network/interfaces is just a text file so it should be quite easy to use [11:47] Jaco: ifyou want a gui, why did you install server? [11:47] Jaco: why do you need the server install, the desktop install makes an excellent server [11:47] Hi All, I created a custom live CD using remastersys and when I boot, the GRUB displays the custom distro name that I gave during the remastersys configuration. However, when i install the disto to HDD using ubiquity, the grub menu changes back to Ubuntu. May I know where is the configuration, so that after install also, the menu displays the custom name [11:47] hi,is there any tool to create chm file under linux? [11:47] :/ rhythmbox keeps poppping up saying i aint got a windows media player 9 codec, and it does this for bowt 20 times each time i boot it, It also doesnt tell me the files that its having probs with either, so i donno what to delete, and i cant find a install of the wmp9 codec, :/ [11:47] is there a way to block firefox from browsing local files file:// [11:47] Jaco: the whole point of the server is not to have a gui [11:47] ActionParsnip: I reinstalled it as per the instructions and it didn't work. [11:47] Everything is working as it should I just need to change the IP now [11:47] test [11:47] jaco: servers dont have guis for security and to reduce ram used on the system [11:47] shosei: pass [11:47] how do i get more disk space? i've installed 9.04 (64) as dual-boot with vista and it only gave me a small space, even though i've got a 320gb drive? [11:47] I checked the interfaces file but there's very little info in there [11:48] jaco: edit /etc/network/interfaces using that file, its childishly simple [11:48] just auto eth0 [11:48] Jaco: [11:48] ikonia, so installing a new grub tarball won't fix it ? [11:48] http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/setting-up-an-network-interfaces-file/ja [11:48] iface eth0 inet dhcp [11:48] chalcedony: no [11:48] ikonia: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. === asg8516 is now known as kuttappan [11:48] jaco: thats the whole point, you need to flesh it out yourself [11:48] is it just me or firefox 3.5 in ubuntu dosen't have google search engine [11:48] Jaco: if yo uwant to set the ip on eth0 you need to change that to: iface eth0 inet static [11:49] How would I know what to type in? [11:49] jaco: then you use the guide to ADD lines to suit your network. [11:49] Where can I find that guide? [11:49] hi I'm running 9.04, after a suspend I completely lose network connectivity, and am unable to restart it unless I reboot. Anyone have the same problem or know of a solution? [11:49] cheers all [11:49] Jaco: if you want to use static IP you MUST know the address, subnet mask and default gateway for the system [11:49] Jaco: I've just given you a url with a guide in [11:49] I've got all the static IP details including DNS addresses [11:49] Not to mention any nameservers hhe might want to use [11:50] Jaco: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/setting-up-an-network-interfaces-file/ [11:50] jaco: great, dns addresses go in /etc/resolv.conf [11:50] Jaco: check the guide I just sent you - it explains it [11:50] jaco: and need prefixing with nameserver [11:50] how to reconfigure all settings in ubuntu...

[11:59] i prefer windows 7 though [11:59] InDuS: use what works best for you [11:59] Where do I config the settings for the wireless device, I see all the pretty GUI config in NetworkManager for IP stuff, but no device level stuff [11:59] InDuS: 1 user may download the ISO 400 times but it would still be 1 user so there is no way of really counting [12:00] ankur: care to expand? [12:00] ikonia the holyness brotha: in #ubuntu-hu not possible to correct problems solving. the mens talking about bycicle... [12:00] ActionParsnip: what am I looking for? I can't see b43 anywhere in the output from that [12:00] Tukson: I'm really sorry, I don't understand what you're ssaying [12:00] !info bicycle [12:00] ActionParsnip: the reverse is also true one iso dled can be installed (copied) in 400 computers ;P [12:00] Package bicycle does not exist in jaunty [12:00] Hansard_: is there a way to uninstall the b43 thing, ten you can reinstall it [12:00] forgot package name [12:01] erUSUL: good point [12:02] ubuntu according to canonical is most popular distro too u know [12:02] ikonia: the small talk is proceeding about the cycling on the channel not Linux the topic! it is true really! [12:02] ActionParsnip: not in synaptic and can't find any reference to an uninstall on google [12:03] Hansard_: try: dpkg -l | grep cutter [12:03] Tukson: the topic of this channel is ubuntu support [12:03] InDuS: popular doesnt mean best, in any way shape or form [12:03] Hi All, I created a custom live CD using remastersys and when I boot, the GRUB displays the custom distro name that I gave during the remastersys configuration. However, when i install the disto to HDD using ubiquity, the grub menu changes back to Ubuntu. May I know where is the configuration, so that after install also, the menu displays the custom name [12:03] ikonia: I talked about #ubuntu-hu [12:03] ActionParsnip:so what does it mean then [12:03] i am unable to start any xserver services...else every thing working fine... [12:03] Tukson: I don't know anything about that channel [12:04] ikonia: #ubuntu-hu = Official Hungarian Ubuntu linux support channel [12:04] InDuS: it means a lot of people either find it suits their needs, or are completely ignorant to alternatives [12:04] ActionParsnip: did that remove it or you need the output? [12:04] Hi , I need to know , does ubuntu used patches with xorg-server 1.6.0 please ? [12:05] i have tried to dpkg-reconfigure but. its giving message nibbler: invoke-rc.d : initscript gdm "reload" failed [12:05] hickop: I believe there are some patches applied, download the source package and check them [12:05] Hansard_: if some / one of the packags looks related to the firmware cutter, uninstall it [12:05] ActionParsnip: so since most people think or have similar needs, it makes that product the best by popularity [12:05] hi .. I have an amd phenom X4 and I'd like to virtualize another OS on my ubuntu . What I have to use ? [12:05] ikonia: where can i get the ubuntu source please ? [12:06] InDuS: no - its not, lets stop talking about it in here please [12:06] hickop: ubuntu source ? [12:06] hickop: apt-get source $package_name [12:06] ikonia: ok stopped [12:06] InDuS: no, it is only best to the people that think it suits their needs best. "best" is an evaluation of something to the requirements of the something. If a different something (in your opinion and after analysing) can perform the task better, then the first thing ceases to be best [12:06] when is next LTS [12:07] InDuS: 10.04 [12:07] ikonia: i mean i dont actually have ubuntu , i used it before and the xorg-server was working , but now with the source from xorg its not [12:07] ActionParsnip: says that it's a utility for extracting the firmware to the /lib/firmware folder === manous is now known as kos [12:07] hickop: xorg source is supported in #xorg [12:07] help [12:07] i heard they might push it to 10.10 for gnome 3 but nvm off topic [12:07] I will install virt-manager [12:07] ActionParsnip: should I remove the folders from /lib/firmware instead? [12:07] Hansard_: if there is a package then uninstall it, if there are files you have placed then rename or move them [12:07] Hansard_: i dont recommend deleting until you have the goal [12:08] Hansard_: less destructive [12:08] ikonia: but ubuntu patches arent [12:08] is there any way to look at the currently loaded mods to see what is actually the problem? [12:08] hickop: but you're not using ubuntu patches [12:08] hickop: you said the source from xorg, that contains no ubuntu patches [12:08] ikonia: no , and i need them [12:08] Is there any way to use a site that uses Oracle Jinitiator? For example: gorms.compass-usa.com In Firefox, it says I needed a plugin, which is available for Windows only. I tried with Wine and Playonlinux, but neither worked. I heard there is a way to trick Firefox into using Java which will work? [12:08] Where can I get the src of the GNU reglx? [12:08] hey guyz... anyone know a good album art finder for itunes? i only have the songnames and artists, i don't have the album info.

What would happen if I ran sudo rm *ndiswrapper* [12:16] ActionParsnip: can i " sodo apt-get --purge remove xserver-xorg" and then install it [12:16] for some reason on my laptop the sound only comes through the headphones and not the built in speakers. is there some way to switch the output?

But when I locate ndiswrapper there are plenty of files. Should I manually delete them? [12:30] Aight. Thanks ActionParsnip.

[13:15] ActionParsnip, i've tried screen, but that works only for application limited to the console [13:15] not graphical ones [13:15] <[new_i]> ìåíÿ òóò ïîíèìàþò? [13:16] paissad-hp: what gui app areyou running? [13:16] [new_i], here is English only; #ubuntu-ru for Russian please [13:16] I recall some app ages ago that you could 'move' a gui app's display from one X instance to another.. but it dident work very well. [13:16] ActionParsnip, for example firefox , just an example [13:16] <[new_i]> ok.. [13:16] paissad-hp: there may be a way to tell the app to run on the local x server and not the remote one [13:16] paissad-hp: like move it from one to another, you'll have to dig arout to findhow [13:16] Of course if its running on the remote end.. then how are you going to controll it if you cant see its display. [13:17] hi [13:17] ActionParsnip: thanks to you I got it working. And I have updated the wiki to reflect that last command to add it to the /etc/modules [13:17] sweet [13:17] that'll help oters :) [13:18] pity I can't put a footnote that you suggested that last /etc/modules line [13:18] xmove is a pseudo server X. It is pseudo since it does not actually do the work of a server, but instead it speaks with an existing X server. [13:18] does anyone get paid to be a full time irc channel helpe..??? [13:18] !info xmove [13:18] Package xmove does not exist in jaunty [13:18] I recall trying xmove ages ago..... [13:18] it sort of does that paissad-hp [13:19] <[new_i]> sean2009,hi.. [13:19] paissad-hp: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Allow_a_program_to_continue_after_logoff#X_move [13:19] hello [13:19] sean2009: not that i know of [13:20] sean2009: all contributions are free and carry no sla [13:20] No refunds either. [13:20] :) [13:20] ok well i'd just like to say thanks to anyone who had ever helped someone in here [13:20] hmmm why are my propriety drivers not activated? [13:20] sean2009: everyone says you are welcome right back at you [13:20] ok thanks [13:20] By 'activated' does it mean they are not running, or that I haven't 'registered' with the providers? [13:21] sean2009: you may help someday too [13:21] :) [13:21] sean2009: makes the world go around [13:21] * leaf-sheep pay it forward. [13:21] only when i know enough to teach someone, right now iam an advanced beginner.! [13:21] Hansard_: those are drivers that cant be included on the cd for legal reasons but an app is provided to install them, thigs like video drivers are common here [13:22] why isnt there an upgrade script to run when I want to go from ubuntu 7.10 to the newest? [13:22] What is making a lot of struggle necessary [13:22] 7.10 - is almost 2 years old.. wosers. :0 [13:22] anli_: update-manager -d [13:23] anli_: you cant, you need to go up through the intermediate releases [13:23] ActionParsnip: I downloaded the .run ati driver from the amd website and installed it. And I went into 'hardware drivers' and it says that the driver isn't 'activated'. Same with the Broadcom B43 wireless driver that we just installed. [13:23] ActionParsnip: and why cannot a program do it for me? [13:23] Hi [13:23] anli_: update-manager ... [13:23] anil_: it can and does [13:23] clearscreen: finished with a core dump [13:23] Hansard_: ati have a config tool of their own to use [13:23] i have a broadcom wireless driver, i can t get that to work either - iam using arch linux [13:23] !arch [13:23] Sorry, I don't know anything about arch [13:23] !archlinux [13:23] Other !Linux distributions besides !Ubuntu include: Debian, Mepis (using !APT); RedHat, Fedora, SUSE, Mandriva (using !RPM); Gentoo, Slackware (using other packaging systems) [13:24] Nobody else does either, ubottu! :D [13:24] i don't know about archlinux, but maybe wvdialconf will work [13:24] ActionParsnip: so why didn't the ubuntu hardware drivers tool detect that ati had correctly installed the driver? bug? [13:24] Hansard_: maybe the inuilt tool doesnt detect your card [13:24] hi, please do you know the difference between passphrase and bit key? i thought just passphrase encodes the password, but both do. So what's the point? [13:24] i have arch on a laptop and iam running ubuntu on another laptop [13:24] Hansard_: i suggest you websearch how to set it up [13:24] Hansard_: ati has removed many cards from their fglrx drivers. so cards that used to use fglrx may not use it now.. [13:24] ActionParsnip: it detects the card, that's why it's suggesting I 'activate' the driver. [13:25] sean2009: arch is supported in #archlinux [13:25] it may need some b43 firmware program [13:25] Dr_Willis: I have an HD 4800. It is included in the current propriety ati driver. [13:25] ok again booting dropts to initramfs I would have to insert rootdelay=40 to the kernel stanza line in /boot/grub/menu.lst but this only happesn with ubuntu and consistently that last two years and with scsi drives [13:25] !broadcom | sean2009 [13:25] sean2009: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [13:25] anyone know where this originates from? a kernel patch? an oversight? [13:25] its a mystery that an url in sources.list can result in 404, that is the same as a design flaw [13:26] yes thanks ive been there done it iot doesn't work [13:26] i am happy to use the ethernet port [13:26] anli_: when a release gets 'so old' i belive they move the repositories to some archive server. [13:26] anli_: you may need to change your sources.list to reflect that. [13:26] Its a shame that a user ever needs to edit that file [13:26] and ive no idea how old is 'old' [13:27] 7.10 gusty [13:27] old is anything over 6months [13:27] * Dr_Willis would cosider 7.10 rather old. [13:27] anli_, thats old [13:27] 2 yrs old = 4 releases since then. [13:27] it doesnt matter, if I need to edit a file manually, there is something that could be made better [13:27] anli, you might want to switch to a long-term support version [13:27] anli_: thats why theres the LTS versions. Do what you want.. have a nice day [13:28] All I want is a smooth transition to the newest version, long-term och short-term [13:28] or [13:28] anil_: you could edit sources.list to say hardy instead of gutsy and dist-upgrade but I do NOT advise this [13:28] why not just download the 9.04 iso and install like that - and back up data first [13:28] anli_, well a smooth transisiton from one version to the next would be best dealt with on LTS instead of interum versions [13:28] i would be suprised if that thing can sucessfully 'upgrade' to the latest release. [13:28] It just sounded that you advised me :) [13:28] 9.10 is coming out soon [13:29] i think 2 months time [13:29] I have enough problems upgrading from one release to the next. [13:29] anli_, you could wait until 10.10 which is the next LTS I believe [13:29] anli_, or install one of the previous LTS revisions and go from there [13:29] anil_: i'm saying its a possibility, its just not graceful [13:30] One very good reason to keep /home on its own partition. [13:30] just in case a upgrade goes ka-blam and you have to do a clean reinstall. [13:30] anil_: i suggest you reinstall a jaunty, or wait a month for karmic to be released [13:31] anli_: so whats the problem? [13:32] indus: gutsy installed but isnt supported [13:32] for the amount of people in the room there is little talking going on....! [13:33] sean2009: you can listen and lurk for free [13:33] ok thanks [13:33] aah gutsy [13:33] so what did you suggest ActionParsnip [13:34] burn cd is good i guess [13:34] indus: could edit sources.list to say hardy instead of gutsy then run dist-upgrade [13:34] but its a bit dodgey [13:34] There should be a script that changed every occurence of gutsy [13:34] ActionParsnip, i remember 10 years ago going on mirc there was people talking every second . Also there was a thing called irc bombing and stuff. I'm not sure if people still do the bombing thing now though. [13:34] That cannot be a hard-to-write script [13:35] ActionParsnip: no because i think that wont upgrade? hmm not sure ,i thought since gutsy is eol, that method too fails [13:35] indus, change your sources to point to here old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu and then update [13:35] Halitech: hmm anli_ is the one wiwth the problem [13:35] Halitech: thank you :) [13:35] Halitech: that did not seem to work for security.ubuntu.com [13:35] indus, ok [13:35] anli_, just comment the security one out [13:36] for what reason? [13:36] Hi folks [13:36] anli_, get the base updated and then upgrade to 8.04 [13:36] Got an extreme newbie question [13:36] heya guys I solved my previous ubuntu problem, however I now do experience another one [13:36] anli_: i suggest you burn a new cd and install,but you probably have been adviced it too [13:36] I can't Activate the ATI driver with the Hardware Drivers utility. It just hangs on "Downloading and installing driver... 0%". [13:36] the acpid daemon is loading my system leaving it with idle 0% [13:37] How do I access my system mails? ie the mails referred to in the sentence "You have new mail" when you log in at a tty? [13:37] anli_: the other methods are a bit 'unofficial' [13:37] what might be causing that? [13:37] Hansard_, what video card? [13:37] sfyn: type mail, or maybe mailx [13:37] Im thinking of putting SELinux on ubuntu what does everyone think of selinux.? [13:37] Halitech: ATI HD4800 [13:37] ActionParsnip: does he have the option of burning new cd version? [13:37] Hansard_, 9.04? [13:37] yes [13:37] indus, ActionParsnip , i am back [13:38] Hansard_, maybe try the ati driver http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx?type=2.4.1&product=2.4.1.3.36&lang=English [13:38] I did [13:38] it said it installed [13:38] WishingMaster: like you said. 'ill be back' [13:38] but I can't activate compiz because it can't find the driver [13:38] wellcome back [13:38] Hansard_, did you run aticonfig --initial after you installed? [13:38] Indus,yeah bro [13:38] no [13:38] brb I'll try that [13:38] indus, evrything is up n running now [13:38] Hansard_, try that, reboot and then see if compiz will start [13:38] Halitech: does that need sudo? [13:39] is it true that laptop power management is poor compared to windows, especially windows 7? [13:39] ActionParsnip, u r the man [13:39] ActionParsnip, I believe it does, Hansard_ run it with sudo [13:39] action [13:39] WishingMaster: i just advised, you did it man [13:39] How did the people in these rooms get so good at Linux..??? They seem to know everything [13:40] hi, i've got problem with xampp and path to user files, how to configure it? [13:40] sean2009: i dont know nothing [13:40] //localhost/~user/ drives to /htdocs/~user directory not to /home/user/public_html [13:40] ActionParsnip, i always follow ur advice and i come through all my troubles.........always [13:40] ok [13:40] In sources.list, I changed all se.archives to old-releases and commented out every security.ubuntu.com line [13:40] sean2009, comes with using it, breaking it, fixing it, wash rinse repeat :) [13:40] sean2009: while you were getting excited about xp. i was looking at other OSes [13:40] then I did apt-get update [13:40] sean2009: luckily there is plenty of ppl, but moinly u learn by doing and google ;-) [13:40] Okay okay. I got a new netbook -- Dell Mini 10. Really nice. Wifi works but the wired is broken although it worked in the netboot installer. What is the usual protocol for this? [13:40] and do-release-upgrade [13:40] sean2009: im sure you can do tonnes in windows that i cant [13:40] do-release-upgrade resulted in a lot of 404:s, produced an error message and a rollback [13:41] xp is a good os but i lke linux much more [13:41] i play games in xp [13:41] everything else is done on linux [13:41] sean2009: The longer you use... the more you know. Isn't it how you know stuffs about Windows too? :) [13:41] sean2009: some games run awesome in linux [13:41] is windows 7 released? what cost is it [13:41] not many ive tried wine [13:41] indus: not sure and too much [13:42] indus, its still in beta and its free but will stop working in June of next year [13:42] sean2009: well,id games [13:42] leaf-sheep: I know stuff about windows because of osmossis in my sleep. [13:42] Halitech: aah october it comes i believe [13:42] sean2009: I use Xbox360/PS3/N64/PSP etc. (Gaming consoles). [13:42] Halitech: it said 3 gb install so i didnt install it [13:42] after I telnet to my router, how do I see the list of clients? [13:42] sean2009: some devs release linux native frontends so the game runs native, doom3 does this as does unreal tournament 2004 [13:42] the trouble with wine is that games dont work because of the copy protection [13:43] indus, could be for the actual release, I got the testing release and its supposed to work until next summer, so far not overly impressed with it [13:43] ie it installls then says insert the disc [13:43] ActionParsnip, is there a command to find out which drivers are most compatible with my sys and also what does dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg do? [13:43] is there a problem with the apt-get servers? Specifically, security.ubuntu.com? I can't even ping it, let alone update anything... [13:43] ActionParsnip, ok thanks [13:43] Halitech: Desktop effects could not be enabled. [13:43] anli_, you might be farther ahead to get an 8.04 cd and do a fresh install [13:43] Halitech: is that how easy the apt system gets? :) [13:43] Question: I'm using a computer with a SVGA output - one the secondary mirrored screen everything is fine except the mouse cursor does not show up (but does on the primary screen). Is this a known/common problem? [13:43] leaf-sheep, yes i have all those too apart from psp [13:44] WishingMaster: do you mean hardware that is compatible, or the driver for your hardware? [13:44] Hansard_, what does fglrxinfo give for output? [13:44] It would be cool with an upgrade script that cannot fail miserably [13:44] i also still have my 3 amigas / amigos as i call them === br34l_ is now known as br34l [13:44] anli_, if you stay up to date it works well [13:44] ActionParsnip, driver for my hardware [13:44] Halitech: but not else [13:44] anil_: thats normal, you just left upgrading too long so upgrading your release isnt possible [13:45] WishingMaster: depends what hardware it is [13:45] there should be no "left upgrading too long" [13:45] then the package system fails [13:45] would this help anli_? [13:45] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades#7.10%20to%208.04%20(Gutsy%20to%20Hardy) [13:45] anli_: 8.04.3 is very stable. [13:45] anli_, with 7.10 being eol, it makes it harder although using the old-archive it should allow you to update [13:45] what books did people read to learn about linux.? or can you recommend any web sites to learn.? [13:45] anil_: the relese you have is no longer supported or developed for so its forgotten. There is a helthy amount of time after the next release is released to make the transition [13:46] gossar: taking a look [13:46] Any recommendations for a binary viewer? [13:46] anil_: archlinux doenst have releases and has rolling upgrade [13:46] Hi. Is there a simple way (shell) to find folders (including sub-folders) within a specified folder with the same name? (Please answer with my nick in it so i get highlighted, thanks). [13:46] hex viewer [13:46] sean2009, I've learned what I know by simply using the system, breaking it and learning how to fix it [13:46] ActionParsnip, i want to install best compatible drivers for my graphics card.......its a intel Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller [13:46] Halitech: X Error of failed request: BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation) Major opcode of failed request: 135 (GLX) minor opcode of failed request: 19 (X_GLXQueryServerString) Serial number of failed request: 14 Current serial number in output stream: 14 [13:46] ActionParsnip: even if packages are not any longer available for download, it should be no rocket science to go smoothly from one version to another [13:46] Has anyone else noticed a problem with the update servers? [13:46] Hansard_, something is definately not right there [13:47] WishingMaster: som have luck with this: http://webupd8.blogspot.com/2009/05/reverting-xorg-video-intel-driver-of.html [13:47] Halitech, but how.! i guess some people are better than others [13:47] should I uninstall the ati driver? [13:47] Tutunkommon: Could you specifiy the problem? [13:48] Halitech, you may laugh but i just recently got a grip on file permissions.! [13:48] sean2009, it all depends on what you want to do, some just simply want to use it, some like myself, want to understand how the nuts and bolts work under the hood so look deeper [13:48] Hansard_, I would [13:48] Halitech, iam the same as you . i like to know how things work [13:48] I don't recall what the package is called, What command should I use to remove it? [13:49] Problem: Trying to do an apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.28-15-server so I can try out the VMWare player. I am unable to connect to archive.ubuntu.com or security.ubuntu.com which causes the install to fail. I can ping google, but pinging security.ubuntu.com fails as well [13:49] sean2009, then read the forums, even if you don't know an answer, follow along and see what advice is given to fix issues, eventually it will all start making sense [13:50] Hansard_, do a search in synaptic for ati [13:50] Hansard_, type in aptitude search ati that will list anything that starts with ati [13:50] nothing came up [13:50] Tutunkommon: maybe termporal networking problem of your isp? anyway, did you have a look at virtualbox? virtualisation without the hassle vmware will be for you with ubuntu [13:50] sean2009: ok one sec [13:50] Hansard_, maybe look for fglrx as well [13:51] anyone french ? [13:51] Tutunkommon: I have responses from both those servers, btw. [13:51] !fr | dsi2 [13:51] dsi2: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr [13:51] ok ;) thx [13:51] join #nolimit [13:51] Halitech, yes i do do that from time to time, luckily i dont have many major problems. [13:51] odd. ping isn't dropping the packets, it is just sitting there [13:51] if in doubt i google it [13:51] ummm the xorg ati driver is still installed even though I installed the propriety driver.. could that be the problem? [13:51] sean2009, I'm on there all the time reading [13:52] Tutunkommon: ctrl-c it, you dont get dropped packets displayed during the run [13:52] ok if there's too much listed you could try --> aptitude search ati | more [13:52] right. I was just letting it sit to see if it snapped out of it at some point. [13:52] Tutunkommon: I just you try a traceroute, and see where your connection is being dropped [13:52] then press spacebar to scroil [13:52] does transmission bittorrent ever really work? [13:52] Tutunkommon: does: sudo apt-get update help [13:52] press q to quit [13:52] heh. 146 packets x-mit, 0 rcv [13:53] what presentation programs are availible out of repos? [13:53] jems: workd fine here [13:53] sean2009: that command came up with heaps of things. One of which was the xorg ati driver. Should I remove that to stop it conflicting with the propriety driver? [13:53] gartral: presntation in open office [13:54] gartral: define "presentation" [13:54] Hansard_, i can't advise you on that. can someone else help Hansard [13:54] ActionParsnip: AKA PowerPoint [13:54] Hansard_, i'm a beginner also [13:54] gartral: all i know is presentation in openoffice [13:55] Hilight: Nope... That hangs up too [13:55] ActionParsnip: i have 3 PP documents that someone asked me too look at.. [13:55] I just did sudo aptitude update , worked a little funny, but worked, then sudo aptitude upgrade, flawless, v9.04 or something. [13:55] gartral: you may be ale to run some form of powerpoint viewerin wine [13:55] gartral, open office should open them [13:56] gartral: i dont use powerpoint so only know the openoffice app [13:56] Halitech: thanks.. i use OOo maybe once every two months [13:56] Hansard_, you could try to remove the xserver-xorg-video-ati driver if that doesn't work then install it again. But someone needs to verify that. I don't want to mess up your computer.!! [13:56] hrm. Tracert wasn't real informative. Plenty of * * * entries, thought I did get through Atlanta and over to London [13:56] gartral: i use abiword, the rest of OOo i dont use so is a massive bloat to me [13:56] gartral, I don't use it much either but a friend sends me PPS files as jokes alot and they always open [13:56] From South Carolina, USA === slacker_be is now known as slacker_nl [13:57] After two sleepless nights jaunty finally fully functional in hp dv3 [13:57] jems: wtg :D [13:57] \O/ [13:57] jems, what is hp dv3.? [13:57] jems: now backp the system so it is easily restorable [13:57] !backup [13:57] There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [13:57] how do I do that? [13:57] Tutunkommon: OK, what IP does archive.ubuntu.com resolve to for you? [13:57] ActionParsnip Halitech meh. the bloat has literally 0.00003% impact on 4tb of space.. >> [13:57] people take backups o.O [13:57] jems: see above or partimage [13:58] gartral: then why not just install all the apps in the repos? [13:58] sfyn: 91.189.88.40 [13:58] frogzoo: every 6 hours for data here, yes [13:58] ActionParsnip: because there are apps in the repos that dont mix well? [13:58] That is us.archive.ubuntu.com [13:58] gartral, I don't have quite that much space ~L~ [13:58] gartral: they'll all play nice [13:59] ActionParsnip: installing the ATI drivers and NVIDIA drivers will end badly.. [13:59] Tut: Have you tried connecting to ca.archive.ubuntu.com? (May I call you tut) [13:59] gartral: not if its defnied in xorg.conf [14:00] gartral: thing is, just because you can doesnt mean you have to [14:00] I will give that a shot. ugh.. pointy-haired boss. I will have to mess with this later. Thanks for the suggestions! [14:00] Hansard_, see the comment above from gartral [14:01] i'll keep my system as i like it..how it is [14:01] hi.. how can i create a python launcher in alacarte? [14:02] lucazade: py
