[00:00] help_find: no need to specify anything really.. but you will need that * at the end then [00:00] ok did that [00:00] !lfh [00:00] Sorry, I don't know anything about lfh [00:00] !filesystem | cathode_ray [00:00] cathode_ray: An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview [00:00] Does anyone use HP Pavilion dv7-1040 notebook computer? [00:00] I wrote it yesterday cant believe the file is gone Slart, I really need to find it [00:00] !anyone [00:00] 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? [00:00] gnome-system-tools pam.conf xml [00:00] huh just noticed the gnome clock is a lot nicer in 9.04 [00:01] Is there a program for editing movies? [00:01] help_find: grep didn't find anything this time either? [00:01] Program for editing movies and uploading to youtube??? [00:01] help_find try find? [00:01] callum_: Try kino -- ma6y be more powerful / slightly more elarning time than Movie Maker, but it should get the job done. [00:01] Slart: its taking time, I used it with the grep -ri "pattern" * command [00:01] callum_: nothing really good, I'm afraid.. you can try cinelerra or.. what's the KDE video editing app called? [00:01] ubottu: thanks! [00:01] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [00:01] Slart: kino ? [00:01] callum kdenlive is good [00:02] jmarsden: that might be it.. or wait.. it was kdenlive [00:02] Hmmn, I just need it to put a video on Youtube and make the video smaller? [00:02] Flannel, koshari: thank you [00:02] is there any reason why ubuntu hasnt updated to firefox 3.5 yet? [00:02] Because at the moment the 10 Minute video is 600MB [00:02] callum_: jhashaka I think is how it's spelled, but it's on sourceforge and a very nice program [00:02] chris-dowle: afaik it's a policy thing.. [00:02] !ff35 | chris-dowle [00:02] chris-dowle: Firefox 3.5 Final is available for Jaunty by installing the package firefox-3.5 and firefox-3.5-gnome-support | FF3.5 is referred to as Shiretoko in your UI, see http://is.gd/1reB3 for an explanation | Hardy & Intrepid: http://is.gd/1jkNY [00:02] callum_: if you just want to resize, mencoder or avidemux may be better [00:02] avidemux callum_ [00:03] chris-dowle: It has, in Karmic, which will be released next month. firefox | 3.5.3+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu2 | karmic | all [00:03] callum even a script woul dsuffice [00:03] sufficwe [00:03] callum_, you dont need a video editor for that [00:03] right avidemux just for resize... if you want a full NLE jahshaka (however you spell it.. lol) [00:04] */1 * * * * /home/myusername/mypy/test/python test.py <---Does that look right for calling a python file every minute?

[00:05] felixsulla: python /home/myusername/mypy/test/test.py [00:05] steven_: If you really believe you have found a bug, please file a bug report so it gets fixed. [00:05] callum_, as somebody noted you just need to convert it to some other format. use ffmpeg or mencoder or avidemux [00:05] felixsulla: cron is per-minute, so * * * * * as schedule suffices [00:05] felixsulla: you don't need /1 [00:05] felixsulla the forw. slash is redundant [00:06] Im using AVIDEMUX Thanks seems simple to use. [00:06] If i wanted it to be every 5 min I would need the slash though? [00:06] and don't forget the trailing CR in your crontab [00:06] Thanks for your help once again [00:06] I'm trying to use crontab but it doesn't seem to work at 9AM. i have it set to: 3 9 * * * mkdir test /home/user/Desktop but it doesn't create the folder...seems to work later int he day though [00:06] RHorse: The trailing CR? [00:06] felixsulla: yes [00:06] I read the wiki again and I tried the sound card detecting command but the command gives me three models: Codec: IDT 92HD71B7X [00:06] Codec: LSI ID 1040 [00:06] Codec: Generic 10de ID 6. But my audio device is Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03). How I can configure my sound card now? [00:07] callum will never know how easy a one liner mencodr script is [00:07] an empty line at the end, felixsulla [00:07] felixsulla: The line in the crontab must have an end of line (LF) after it. Otherwise it will not be recognized. [00:07] Flynsarmy: 09:03 every day? [00:07] Slart, correct [00:07] How do I put the end of line in? \n or something? [00:07] Flynsarmy: is your computer time correct? [00:07] Flynsarmy: it seems right.. what is the creation time on the folder? your clock is correct? [00:08] tilt, time is correect. Slart the folder is never created [00:08] Flynsarmy: btw you mkdir syntax seems wrong [00:08] Flynsarmy: oh.. but it works if you use another time? [00:09] it's "mkrdir {full-pathname} [00:09] -r [00:09] How do I not reply to ping requests? [00:09] tiens tiens des ubuntusiens :) [00:10] RHorse: Can I just enter a blank line in in vim after my entry, or do I need to put in some kind of special character? [00:10] hmm, I ``sudo rm -rf /var/log/dpkg''d, by accident. is the severity of this dire? anyone know of any workaround/fixes? [00:10] steven_: add a iptables rule to drop incoming icmp packages.. but I'm not really sure why you would want that? [00:10] !fr | Pacmin [00:10] Pacmin: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr [00:10] felixsulla just hit enter like you would for a new line. [00:10] Why would I not? Isn't it good for your computer to not be located? [00:10] tilt, yeh it was an example that i stuffed up heh. here's the actual line: 0 9 * * * amixer set 'Master' 100% unmute > /dev/null [00:10] Have you set your variables at the beginning felixsulla? [00:10] tilt, that works if i type it into the terminal. but it doesnt work on crontab [00:11] RHorse: Not likely, since I dont know what you mean? [00:11] steven_: not responding to pings wont' make you any more invisible [00:11] so i found this perl script that is supposed to actively change the background color. how do i apply it? [00:11] Flynsarmy: The % is special in a crontab line... man 5 crontab for info on that [00:11] steven_: echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/icmp_echo_ignore_all [00:11] can yo pastebin the crontab felixsulla? [00:11] I just set karmic alpha 5 up, and it won't see my audigy 2 sounds card. any ideas?

Or is that it? One line? [00:13] RHorse: Its just the one line, the one before it is commented out #m h d .. etc. [00:13] jmarsden, that got it! thanks! [00:13] Flynsarmy: No problem. [00:13] Permission denied [00:13] felixsulla no wonder it doesn't work [00:13] steven_: regular users may not make this setting [00:13] ok [00:13] steven_: but go ahead.. drop the pings.. it doesn't really matter.. just don't go around thinking you'll be any safer because of it =) [00:14] input/output error [00:14] RHorse: Do you know what I need to add? [00:14] clearly the drive is screwed [00:14] Okies. Shields Up! Just told me ta do it. Nevermind :P [00:14] steven_: echo 1 | sudo tee /proc/sys/ipv4/icmp_echo_ignore_all === edson is now known as ecanto [00:14] ne good with storage around these ere parts? [00:15] I'm guessing an input output error is a hand of god event [00:15] i.e. non recoverable drive [00:15] jmarsden: this is _really_ weird :) [00:15] No such file or directory [00:15] felixsulla at the min you need SHELL=/bin/bash at the top of the file [00:15] is there a equivalent for alcohol120 in ubuntu? [00:15] tilt: What is weird? [00:16] jmarsden: the pipe tee :) [00:16] icarus: nope.. not many copy protected cd's for linux.. you can mount isos though [00:16] !mountiso | icarus [00:16] icarus: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [00:16] Anyone know what version of OO is coming with Ubuntu 9.10? [00:16] tilt: Standard way to use sudo around echoing stuff instead of redirection, I think? [00:16] steven_: why not ask in #ubuntu+1, that's where the karmic people hang out [00:16] jmarsden: very elegant! :) [00:16] felixsulla and you need to set your display: DISPLAY=0.0 [00:16] Help please? I've been running Ubuntu 9.04 with the array.org thing on my eeepc with no problems. I put it in standby and unplugged my external dvd drive and when I got home and took it out of standby, the screen went black and the monitor started flickering off and on. Tried rebooting and twice it showed the desktop for several seconds and it started doing the same thing again. Now all I see is it trying to load (splash screen works) [00:17] steven_: according to rmadison: openoffice.org | 1:3.1.1-1ubuntu2 | karmic | source, amd64, i386 [00:17] tilt: Thanks :) [00:17] guys is there a plugin for firefox to give a better UI to VLC web interface? [00:17] !Karmic [00:17] Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 29th, 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [00:18] steven_: /j #ubuntu+1 [00:18] felixsulla and a PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/sbin line [00:18] regressless: haha, I destroyed maaany gigabytes of data by unplugging drives in standby [00:18] RHorse: Weird that none of the tuorials mention adding SHELL and PATH [00:19] tilt: not what I wanted to hear [00:19] LOL [00:19] :P [00:19] linux is so fucking bad [00:19] regressless: :O) [00:19] Yeah, I know how to do that. Thanks though. It is not! Linux rocks [00:19] now my internet doesnt work because I rebooted my computer [00:19] RHorse: I'm not sure why one would normally need all that in a crontab... mine works fine without it... [00:19] regressless: you have grub boot menu? [00:19] how can I send a mail and attach one file via shell? [00:19] sendmail file? [00:19] I should just save myself the trouble, order anotehr gig of ram and install win7 [00:19] sendmail file mail@mail? [00:19] win7 beta works better than this shit [00:19] ok [00:19] night [00:20] tilt: yes, can go to recovery mode, but don't know what to do from there [00:20] Fizban140: considering your attitude that sounds reasonable [00:20] !language | Fizban140 [00:20] Fizban140: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [00:20] julemore: sudo apt-get install mpack and then mpack filename user@example.com [00:20] !attitude | Fizban140 [00:20] Fizban140: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [00:20] regressless: try typing "reboot" there [00:20] then boot normally [00:20] problem after problem after problem after problem for four days now, that is all I have got from linux [00:20] i have that for 12 years now Fizban140 === pitput is now known as pitput_ [00:20] Fizban140, my linux works fine [00:21] jmarsden: Any tips on getting cron to run? I am having no success [00:21] tilt: I fail to see how that will do anything === pitput_ is now known as pitput [00:21] regressless: just try [00:21] Fizban140: What are you trying to do? [00:21] Fizban140: ironically that's what windows is, too [00:21] ok, back in a while, maybe [00:21] too much to explain [00:21] felixsulla: what exactly are you trying to run every minute, what does it need -- just a simple script that would run from the shell and needs no GUI? Or something more complex? [00:21] hey what is technical name of the deive that comes which Hp laptops,the device is kinda helping windows with media center,its an IR based device,is that supported in Ubuntu? [00:21] no one here can help me [00:21] felixsulla put > /home/cron.log at the end of the entry to get some idea of what cron is saying. [00:21] not even sure why I am her actually [00:21] Fizban140, you're right [00:22] jmarsden: It's a python file that backs up my snippets. In reality, I'll only have it run every few days, but just to test if the cron is working I want it to be every few minutes [00:22] How do I open up MYSQL to outside access, so Windows users using a MYSQL GUI can access my mysql server with their accounts? [00:22] Fizban140: ubottu can help you, but I don't know how to talk to it [00:22] any one ? just wanted the to work,atleast with openoffice for presentation purpose [00:22] Shnozzberry: you'll have to edit the my.cnf in /etc/mysql [00:22] felixsulla: OK, and does it run fine from your bash shell? [00:22] Fizban140: I just returned to this window, I have to scroll up to find your original question [00:22] Shnozzberry: you need toforward to port on yuor router to the port the sql service runs on [00:23] has Fizban140 even asked a question? [00:23] Fizban140: bummer, huh? [00:23] jmarsden: It works perfectly if i just call it from the shell. "python myfile.py" [00:23] Shnozzberry: the part your looking for should be documented by comments [00:23] I have so many problems with Linux I am not sure which one to start with [00:23] tilt: In the mysql config? [00:23] Ubuntu problem [00:23] Shnozzberry: yes === stlsaint is now known as stlsaint_ [00:23] I can't open sound file [00:23] felixsulla: how does it not work from cron? [00:23] Shnozzberry: I think currently the distribution default is to allow from localhost only [00:24] Fizban140: Ubuntu is not for the feint of heart [00:24] felixsulla: OK, I think you may want to try * * * * * /usr/bin/python /path/to/script.py and see if that helps? [00:24] ubuntu is linux for human beings [00:24] felixsulla: cron mails the output to you. [00:24] Shnozzberry: probably by configuring as "interface to listen to" the loopback device, 127.0.0.1/32 [00:24] My firefox-3.5 is still called "shiretoko"...is there anyway to fix this? [00:24] cron's default PATH is /usr/bin:/bin [00:24] I have no free space on my drive because I auto installed ubuntu netbook remix and it only used 30 mb of free space after the OS install even though I have 160 gb free. After that I tried to get flash working, I followed a guide and installed restricted files and now firefox crashes when it attempts to use flash [00:24] lu6cifer: this is normal [00:24] There is a "play sound" link on this wolfram page http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=C+E+G+Bb+D+F%23+A but I cant open it [00:24] lu6cifer: I don't think so.. not without breaking updates and so on [00:24] !shiretoko [00:24] FF3.5 is referred to as Shiretoko on your UI, see http://is.gd/1reB3 for an explanation [00:24] ubuntu is the essence of what it is to be human [00:25] jmarsden: I dont have to call "python" anywhere? [00:25] or something [00:25] so I have to reinstall ubuntu to get more space on the disc and then I have to install my network drivers off an SD card because moblin bricked my flash drive and then I can attempt to get flash working [00:25] well that's really irritating... [00:25] felixsulla you didn't specify the path to python. [00:25] Fizban140: try "easy peasy" :) [00:25] felixsulla: python should be /usr/bin/python [00:25] tilt: I was talking to you on the PC with the problem, but through windows. Rebooted and started Ubuntu with no problem, but we'll see if it lasts. [00:25] lu6cifer: why its still firefox [00:25] Fizban140: I like it over the netbook remix [00:25] Well, for example, facebook chat is messed up with shiretoko [00:25] Help how can one open and play the sound on this page? >>>>>>>>> http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=C+E+G+Bb+D+F%23+A [00:25] */2 * * * * python /home/trevorgoodchild/mypy/snipplr/snipplrbak.py <-- this is what i have right now. [00:25] Fizban140: how big is your hard disk? [00:25] and it's not familiar [00:25] lu6cifer: you can change the icon name in the menu if you like by editting the .desktop in /usr/share/applications [00:25] regressless: hehe [00:26] 160 gb [00:26] Fizban140: help me, help you [00:26] regressless: the weird resume stuff is gone after 1 reboot i think [00:26] felixsulla do you have the variables now? [00:26] felixsulla: and what is the problem? [00:26] lu6cifer: its firefox-3.5 still, just uses a codename [00:26] felixsulla: replace the "python" with /usr/bin/python and see if that helps at all. [00:26] Earth calling ubuntu [00:26] tilt: where is the config file located where i do that? [00:26] lu6cifer: why would the facebook chat care what your browser is called on your system? [00:26] Shnozzberry: /etc/mysql/my.cnf [00:26] Ubuntu calling Earth [00:26] interesting that everyone offers a solution without knowing the problem. [00:26] Slart: facebook is rather fascist about what browsers it will send content to [00:26] tilt: there it goes again, clicked the recycle bin to empty trash and it started doing that flickering thing again [00:26] does anybody know how to transfer files from nokia n95 and linux? i can't connect it:( [00:26] Is ubuntu even worth trying or am I going to constatly have problems all the time with it? [00:26] lu6cifer: I doubt renaming shiretoko to firefox would fix that [00:26] Slart: Idk...but fbook chat is screwy with shiretoko [00:27] seidos how does ubuntu open the "play sound" on this page? http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=C+E+G+Bb+D+F%23+A [00:27] regressless: it's b0rken then. reinstall ^^^^ [00:27] felixsulla: why don't you just have your script have a #!/usr/bin/python (or wherever it is) and chmod +x script.py ? [00:27] even though it works fine on any other browser [00:27] it's gone, Jim [00:27] jerriy: what page? [00:27] prince_jammys: Too many people working with one issue... do you want to take over working with felixsulla ? [00:27] (; [00:27] and on any other version of firefox 3.5 that isn't on ubuntu [00:27] tilt: grrr... [00:27] jmarsden: no :) . Asking for the problem twice and not seeing it is enough. [00:27] Fizban140: I'm not sure what to tell you. I don't know enough about your hardware. I know I am satisfied with the state of Ubuntu on my system [00:27] lu6cifer: you can change its identifier in about:config [00:27] regressless: no form of standby/hibernate works here, either [00:27] eee pc 1005ha [00:27] seidos: You don't see the "play sound" link on this page????? ---> http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=C+E+G+Bb+D+F%23+A [00:28] Fizban140: I don't dual boot [00:28] Are later versions of firefox going to be codenamed like this too? [00:28] lu6cifer: theres firefox3.5 on all OSes that firefox runs on [00:28] fez: but.. surely it doesn't have a user agent string with shiretoko in it? please don't say it's so [00:28] lu6cifer: theres also 3.7 but its a bit flaky [00:28] jerriy: you mean in the matrix code or something? [00:28] tilt: what do you mean? standby doesn't work in ubuntu? [00:28] tilt: I found this line in my.cnf - [00:28] #bind-address = 127.0.0.1 [00:28] regressless: it's quite a pain in linux generally [00:28] and people wonder why linux is so unpopular, its because it is so hard to get to a working state [00:28] Seidos can you help me to configure my sound card? [00:29] jerriy: Oh, I didn't see the url [00:29] Fizban140: usually it's pretty easy... [00:29] Fizban140: its fine, just that most people think of MS OSes first [00:29] tilt: using the array.org kernel thing and it worked, but apparently not when you rip out the external drive [00:29] regressless: bad drivers, overcomplicated kernel/userspace situation, not enough testing on existing hardware [00:29] seidos: the link LITERALLY says "play sound" it's right in front of you [00:29] Fizban140: linux is dead easy [00:29] no idea, never heard of shiretoko [00:29] jerriy: I see play sound, yes [00:29] tilt: So now where in the my.cnf do i make a change to allow outside access? [00:29] does anybody know how to transfer files from nokia n95 and linux? i can't connect it [00:30] jerriy: wow, cool [00:30] Shnozzberry: just look around a bit [00:30] this is why linux will never succeed [00:30] seidos: I clicked on it but there Was no sound [00:30] Turbolinux: I gotta' go, maybe some other time [00:30] linux is so counter intuitive, nothing is easy [00:30] !admin [00:30] Sorry, I don't know anything about admin [00:30] does someone have a moment to help me with a sound issue? I want to record the audio output from an application- i've done it before but it's not working now and I don't know why... this channel is scrolling too fast for me to read, maybe PM if you could [00:30] mefiiik: http://davehall.com.au/blog/dave/2007/11/18/my-new-toy-nokia-n95 [00:30] Fizban140: What is the issue you are having? [00:30] tilt: thanks for the help anyway. Kids and wife are asking for the tv back so I'm out. Reinstalling, I guess. :( [00:31] Fizban140: one mans hard is anothers easy. I got an msde release of vista ultimate, took me an hour to get sound and crank the page file [00:31] fez: hmm.. it sure does.. shiretoko instead of firefox.. *sigh* [00:31] to install things I have to use complicate command strings in a terminal and I have to compile drivers to get them to work that have to have updated kernals which not all distros have and then I have to figure out a way to get the proper flash driver without killing my system [00:31] seidos: What plugin do I need to play that sound (http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=C+E+G+Bb+D+F%23+A) [00:31] win7 worked for me right from install with two sound cards installed [00:31] Im getting an error when trying to install software using apt-get Im getting alot of Input/Output errors such as : /sbin/ldconfig.real: Cannot lstat /usr/lib/.... [00:31] System > Applications > Synaptic Package Manager is a GUI way to install programs. [00:32] Fizban140: you don't have to use complicated commands :/ there exist graphical installers [00:32] Does anyone have idea what i can do to resolve this? [00:32] all i know is i try to facebook in Lynx but it won't let me [00:32] Flannel, hi flannel. Can you cloak me on this channel please? [00:32] ActionParsnip: thanks:) [00:32] Fizban140: exactly, i found it hard, i find linux very simple [00:32] jerriy: That's a MIDI file [00:32] I tried to install it with the icon but no program was found to open it [00:32] Hi.

Should work ok [00:45] Fizban140: then create 2 new primary partitions [00:45] HELLO? [00:45] what the best current practise for using beamers?

How do I do the comparison though (new to bash scripting)? if [ whoami == 'root' ]; then...?

[02:30] bravo7: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/install-mysql-server-5-on-ubuntu/ [02:30] timClicks: 9.04 [02:30] bravo7: close any other package managers you have open. [02:30] n-iCe: it should be running automatically - how did you upgrade? [02:30] Can anyone pls help me? I am trying to mount a windows share on linux and I get - wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //192.168.1.115/d. But I am able to navigate to this share just fine through nautilus. What coule be wrong? [02:30] Turbolinux: can you include my nickname in every response to me? it will help me read your responses. [02:30] prince_jammys thanks [02:30] welcome [02:31] well [02:31] Ok. I will do that. [02:31] well [02:31] timClicks: are running, but I mean, the notifications work with pidgin, it popups windows when someone connects or writes, but how do I configurate them to other msn IRC client [02:31] now I cant get ubuntu to run lol [02:31] this is perfect [02:31] i got an acer with intel motherboard and a quad core q6600 and no video card i wanna know a good video card under a 100 $ thats easy to install no conf needed? im running 64 bits ubutnu 9.04 [02:31] WHAT THE FUCK DID I DO WRONG? [02:31] Seidos: Ok. I will do that. [02:31] !language | Fizban140 [02:31] Fizban140: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [02:31] I am reinstalling again [02:31] formatting everything [02:31] Fizban140: why? [02:32] cant boot [02:32] just get a black screen [02:32] How do I determine what version of flash I am running in firefox? What is up with adobe's current version being 10.0.32.18? !? How about using numbers. [02:32] Fizban140,i will not format,because i know this problem will happen again [02:32] and troubleshooting in linux takes way too long [02:32] Turbolinux: you need to add something to a file. It is located here /etc/modprob.d/alsa-base.conf [02:32] all of a sudden my flash broke on ff3.0 9.04. its pretty weird. like in youtube it shows a black box where the video should be, but if click the botton to open the video in a new window it opens and plays just fine. on myspace music, where the music should be it has a message saying upgrade flash. but my flash is installed and should be fine? [02:32] its a bug that noone fix [02:32] Fizban140: What did you last? [02:32] installed auto updates [02:32] it asked me to retsart so I did [02:32] probably ran out of space on the drive [02:32] Turbolinux: but to find out what you have to add, you need to search the txt file in /usr/share/doc/alsa-base/driver/ALSA-Configuration.txt.gz [02:32] timClicks: ? [02:32] .. That is totally irritating when a website says Flash is out of date and simply redirects you to flash.com. [02:33] Anyone ever installed dimdim on ubuntu ? :O [02:33] Turbolinux: does that make sense? [02:33] Then it got unusable? [02:33] pm me please :P [02:33] Xodiac13 you have an ethernet on eth0? [02:33] i dont trust autoupdates anymore,they are always mess with something that must not be touched [02:33] tem br aqui? [02:33] Yes. [02:33] Turbolinux: you can try the following first: killall pulseaudio [02:33] Ok. [02:33] ubuntu is so user friendly :P [02:33] Turbolinux: sudo alsa force-reload [02:33] RHorse: thats my ethernet cable i want to get my wlan working [02:33] n-iCe: sorry, was afk [02:33] I like the Windows thing of "Update Tuesdays" because I really don't want to think about updates messing everything up more than once a week. [02:33] Turbolinux: pulseaudio -D [02:34] everything in this OS is a trap, auto updates? black screen, flash update? crashes firefox [02:34] Turbolinux: then test sound in prefs -> sounds [02:34] atheros wifi and linux, a tale that wasnt right [02:34] its like this os is a sick person about to die [02:34] I will do that. [02:34] n-iCe: that really depends on how those applications are built [02:34] Fizban140: not true. My system works [02:34] Xodiac13 lets see if it responds: type sudo iwconfig ath0 does it return an error? [02:34] I also like the thing where after about 5 updates and things crash randomly, it is the user's fault for agreeing to update 1 random thing in the past week. [02:34] Fizban140: what are you accomplishing? [02:34] n-iCe: if they are GNOME apps, they should be using libnotify http://library.gnome.org/devel/libnotify/ [02:35] nothing besides getting pissed off at ubuntu [02:35] How about if the operating system is professional instead of publishing crap updates that ruin peoples' systems. [02:35] RHorse: it says no such device [02:35] Fizban140: put that energy into finding the information you need to figure out what you have to do to get it working. You could have a hardware problem for all we know. [02:35] Xodiac13 how's about sudo iwconfig wlan0? [02:35] "Oh it is open source, you can fix every problem yourself. Stop complaining" [02:35] its not a hardware problem afaik [02:35] i got an acer with intel motherboard and a quad core q6600 and no video card i wanna know a good video card under a 100 $ thats easy to install no conf needed im running 64 bits ubuntu 9.04 [02:35] Fizban120 mikejet: chill [02:36] brand new netbook [02:36] Fizban140: if it's brand new, then it could be h/w [02:36] RHorse: same no such device thats wierd because i know someone got it working [02:36] Fizban140: becaue brand new h/w might not be supported by open source drivers yet [02:36] RHorse: its something in the blacklist when i did it last itme [02:36] mikejet: I've3 used various Linux distros for years and I have never had an update (from a stable repo) destroy my system [02:36] vodafone-mobile-connect who can help me? about using this package? [02:36] well [02:36] Fizban140: do you want to learn? [02:37] been trying for four days [02:37] Xodiac13 it's enabled in bios? [02:37] my wlan0 is seems to be connected but no connection ,nothing,but linux says everything is in order,cant even ping the routers internal address [02:37] although i do not have much free time to learn, I work a lot, I am in the military [02:37] Fizban140: but have you asked for any help yet? [02:37] a lot [02:37] RHorse: yup it working with windows 7 and all [02:37] Fizban140: can you have fun while you learn? [02:37] "I am trying to do ...... with ......, but ..... keeps happening" is what we need to see. [02:38] Is this website that demands I download 10.0.32.18 BSing me? [02:38] n-iCe: if the apps are not using that software library, then there's not much you can do (I think) [02:38] only if the learning doesn't frustrate me any further because I have spent four days on this so far [02:38] not "my life sucks, linux is crap, i've wasted 3 days" [02:38] Xodiac13, buggy wifi driver ,thats all man [02:38] well partition manager wont even open now [02:38] Fizban140: are you allowed to take a break? [02:38] I think it might be reinstall time [02:38] braek from what? [02:38] RHorse: notthere: yeah its wierd [02:38] Xodiac13 can you pastebin /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist ? [02:38] Fizban140: from learning [02:38] RHorise: k [02:38] Xodiac13,i have almost the same problem [02:38] I want to get this working now [02:39] seidos: get to the point.... Fizban140 what are the symptoms and what do you want to accomplish? [02:39] at first it works and thet kaboom,blasted to pieces [02:39] Fizban140: lspci [02:39] tria.olim@yahoo.com [02:39] i think my flash problem came when i upgraded form 3.0.13 to 3.0.14, how can i downgrade? [02:39] I get a black screen when I try to boot UNR on my eeepc1005ha and when I run a live version I cant open parition manager [02:40] RHorise: lol it said command not found [02:40] i think the weird thing in ubuntu software installer is that it needs the network for uninstalling,yes that right people,for uninstalling something,thats a network depended OS,without network,its DEAD like a DEAD HORSE [02:40] I love this "TRUSTe - EU SAFE HARBOR" icon websites can display that proves their downloadable software is not a virus. [02:41] Xodiac13 what command? [02:41] Fizban140: have you seen this how to? http://www.jfwhome.com/2009/08/06/perfect-ubuntu-jaunty-on-the-asus-eeepc-1005ha-and-1008ha/ [02:41] RHorse: oops sorry [02:41] Oh yeah, trust enhancement has been acquired. [02:41] I think I just need to wipe my HDD [02:41] Seidos: Unfourtunately, these didn't work. I can get only sctraching sounds now. [02:42] Turbolinux: well, that's progress [02:42] it has been fragmented from 6 OS installs I thought I was formatting it but partition manager shows 8 or so partitions with 3 swap [02:42] Turbolinux: the how to has something on scratching sounds, I haven't read it yet though [02:42] Does anyone know a command that can lock an empty CD drive or disable the hardware button for it under Jaunty? [02:42] RHorse: http://pastebin.com/m1f47f207 [02:42] Fizban140, Reformat, and pay attention. [02:42] is there anybody knows how to made a usb startup parted magic? [02:43] about that, is there any bench-luke utility to test the hdd? i guess mine is diyng on me, but i'm not quite sure === starcraftman is now known as CanMoose [02:43] ugly1: why do you want to lock a cd drive shut [02:43] bro what s [02:43] Seidos: I know, but it's too complicated but I will read again. [02:43] bro: type of hd? [02:43] how do you reformat in linux? I thought it would be simple like loading up the OS and hitting format but that just hides stuff from you [02:43] OzFalcon: it's a sata siemens on a toshiba laptop [02:44] will this command fix wifi problems ? sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-jaunty [02:44] The button on my laptops DVD drive protrudes slightly and get bumped when it's moved. I'm worried it's going to pop out and get broken off eventually [02:44] bro: Any HD utils from siemens? (Like WD tools and Seatools) [02:44] Xodiac13 have you tried reseating the pci card? [02:44] Intel video card in a laptop. Running kde & Ubuntu. Get a clone only and the gui wont even select for the usual 1280x800 i get when the second monitor isnt connected [02:44] anyone have any ideas? [02:44] RHorse: no how do i do that [02:45] OzFalcon: hmm, i didn't check, look for it now... [02:45] RHorse: sorry dangit im tired and not thinking [02:45] RHorse: its a laptop [02:45] is there anybody knows how to made a usb startup parted magic? [02:45] RHorse: i found something about it that im going to try and see if it works it gives me instructions [02:45] Turbolinux: right down the three commands, you will need to type them again: kill pulseaudio sudo alsa force-reload pulseaudio -D === stlsaint is now known as dstlsaint [02:46] Xodiac13 it's not seeing the wireless hw for some reason. Try with the ethernet disconnected perhaps? [02:46] notthere: you're having wifi slow speed problems too? i'm using 9.04 and internet connection on wifi is slow as hell, now using wired [02:46] Ok. [02:46] mostafa_: Yes..... === Guest76086 is now known as RaNdY [02:46] hi, checkgmail is giving me the 401 error. It was a bug in the old version (about a year ago), but it was then fixed. Is there a problem again or did i just do something wrong? :) [02:46] OzFalcon: how can I make one? [02:46] RHorse: ive tried that [02:46] RHorse: i have a atheros ar5007 === RaNdY is now known as Guest31856 [02:46] Xodiac13 do you have a pcmcia slot? [02:46] this ubuntu stuff is really flaky, now gparted opened [02:46] mostafa_: Ummmm cant remember the program....... [02:46] Could someone tell me if there would be a difference between the /usr/lib/syslinux/pxelinux.0 file of a Slackware 12.1 and a 13.0 system or.. between a 12.2 and a 13.0 system? [02:46] mostafa_: Wait [02:47] OzFalcon: thanks man [02:47] ;) [02:47] does anyone know the terminal command for ipconfig /all? [02:47] Hey guys I have got quick question, how do you connect to different servers on GNOME IRC not listed on the server list? [02:47] RHorse: ive been looking and it has to do something with the blacklist and its integrated wireless === Guest31856 is now known as RaNdY [02:47] reya276: try ifconfig [02:47] mostafa_: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ [02:48] Seidos: I gave the commands. So now? [02:48] write === RaNdY is now known as Guest2211 [02:48] dennis: /join irc.server.net [02:48] ugly1: thanks [02:48] reya276: sure [02:48] Turbolinux: what version of Ubuntu are you running? [02:48] 'kill' is not going to kill a process by name. [02:48] Thanks [02:48] Xodiac13 there's nothing in the blacklist for wireless [02:48] 9.04. [02:48] prince_jammys: pkill will tho [02:48] fez: any idea for the drive button? [02:48] yes [02:48] Seidos: 9.04. [02:49] RHorse: o okay [02:49] Quick question, I have a parition /dev/sda2 ext3 named netbook-2.0--x86 what the heck is it? [02:49] Turbolinux: sudo gunzip /usr/share/doc/alsa-base/driver/ALSA-Configuration.txt.gz [02:49] has anyone gotten a virgin mobile: broadband2go to work in ubuntu? [02:49] Turbolinux: mv /usr/share/doc/alsa-base/driver/ALSA-Configuration.txt ~/Desktop [02:49] Turbolinux: open the txt file on your desktop with your favorite editor [02:49] Xodiac13 you can try blacklisting ath_pci and see what happens. [02:49] Is there an easy way to record audio output? [02:50] RHorse: oksy [02:50] OzFalcon: no utility from fujitsu, you know any other? [02:50] RHorse: okay [02:50] OzFalcon: very good thank you I am going to install it now [02:50] just add the line blacklist ath_pci to the blacklist file [02:50] xodiac13 just add the line blacklist ath_pci to the blacklist file [02:51] bro: fujitsu/siemens are the same? [02:51] OzFalcon: have you ever try parted magic running from the hard drive? [02:51] RHorse: will i have to restart my computer [02:51] ugly1: i don't think it's possible to lock an empty drive; if there was a disc in it you could effectively lock it by continuously reading form it but you probably don't want that solution either [02:51] mostafa_, I think so. In my experimenting it does work. [02:51] quidnunc: You could plug it into the sound card of another pc and capture it with audacity. [02:51] Xodiac13 yes, you will need to reboot. Otherwise get hold of a dwl-g630 or 650 pcmcia card and pop it in. [02:51] with sudo command? [02:51] however most laptop CD drives can be hotswapped once the system has booted, perhaps your best bet is to just release the drive altogether [02:52] it's not a removable drive [02:52] RHorse: where do i put the command in [02:52] OzFalcon: very good plz if you know how to then tell me [02:52] Seidos: with sudo command? [02:52] OzFalcon: fujitsu siemens, the IT vendor [02:52] RHorse: at the very bottom of blacklist [02:52] OzFalcon: your useful response will be appreciated === _RaNdY is now known as RaNdY [02:52] bro, ok. [02:52] bro, moment [02:52] Xodiac13 yea [02:52] what's the name of this packacke? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NotifyOSD?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=notification-bubble.jpg [02:53] Turbolinux: not necessary, you won't be modifying the text file when you open it with your editor [02:53] RHorse: not in the network part [02:53] fez: I had a freeware program that could lock it under windows but that's not really an option these days [02:53] mostafa_, Hmmm I can't remember. Doesn't the gparted live cd have some sore of installer? [02:54] Hi [02:54] mostafa_, http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php [02:54] OzFalcon: I have just an iso of gparted that is 97Mb [02:54] Seidos: but the process denied. So now I did with sudo command. But the file isn't on desktop. What's wrong? [02:54] Xodiac13 no not necessary [02:54] the process denied on terminal. [02:54] RHorse: k [02:54] Turbolinux: which command didn't work? [02:54] I need help checking my DNS server. I don't need to change my current settings, just check the server. [02:55] I tried ifconfig, but I don't know as to what represents my dns server. [02:55] Xodiac13 and doublecheck the bios that wl is turned on when you boot [02:55] Seidos: The second command. [02:55] shovon... type "cat /etc/resolv.conf" [02:55] RHorse [02:55] RHorse: okay [02:55] Turbolinux: which was? [02:55] mostafa_, Perhaps if you use unetbootin, and boot from the USB you can then install to the HD? [02:55] Turbolinux: mv cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec [02:55] Seidos: mv /usr/share/doc/alsa-base/driver/ALSA-Configuration.txt ~/Desktop. This command. [02:56] Turbolinux: arg, wrong paste [02:56] is there anyone here who could check if their checkgmail is working please? [02:56] mostafa_, ie setup USB containing gparted with unetbooting. [02:56] OzFalcon: i found bonnie++, it's terminal based, but what a hell... just so you know, if you're interested too [02:56] Seidos: Ok. I will do the new command. [02:56] Sedated: hmm... I still don't see my dns server. [02:56] Turbolinux: no, that's not what I'm asking you to do [02:56] OzFalcon: i found bonnie++, it's terminal based, but what a hell... just so you know, if you're interested too [02:56] bro, ok and it's fo siemens drives? [02:56] OzFalcon: maybe I'll check it now .thanks bro for your help [02:56] shovon... is your nic configured through dhcp or statically? === fun_femme is now known as andre_cool [02:57] dhcp [02:57] Sedated: dhcp [02:58] OzFalcon: bonnie++ is for any drives, just runs a series of read/write tests and outputs the results, not really a reliability benchmark as i was looking for, more like a performance tester [02:58] Seidos: Terminal program gives a message that it isn't a directory. [02:58] Turbolinux: I don't know what's wrong, the command should work as I typed it. did you copy and paste it? [02:58] whats the default user name and password of a live install? [02:59] and you don't see any lines that start with "nameserver" in resolv.conf? that's strange [02:59] Yes. [02:59] bro, http://www.fujitsu.com/us/services/computing/storage/hdd/support/utilities.html [02:59] hi there, anyone got time to answer a quick question? [02:59] Turbolinux: I don't know what else to try [02:59] bro, Use the dos utils. Use http://www.freedos.org/ to run them. [02:59] SuperMiguel, there is no default if it is live cd and if you install it it asks for a username and password [02:59] SuperMiguel, or to auto log in [03:00] I got a windows server on my network, can i mount it so i can get access to it through the file system? [03:00] Hi, I have some audio troubles [03:00] Can we add a parameter about my soundcard to the ALSA file? Is it possible? [03:00] shovon... if you're using dhcp, then the /etc/resolv.conf shuold be automatically configured with lines that start with "nameserver", each "nameserver" being a dns server [03:00] coz_, how do i close X? [03:00] sometimes I hear weird sounds, like interference [03:00] Turbolinux: it is possible. [03:00] OzFalcon: it means that if I want to have gparted for USB I must download something and if I want gparted for hard I must download something else and if I want gparted for CD I must download something else? [03:00] coz_, im trying to run it and it says there is already one running [03:00] How could I reinstall my audio drivers or fix it [03:00] Turbolinux: in my opinion [03:00] OzFalcon: am I right? [03:01] Getting a little tired searching for a good linux newsgroup nzb download app ... any recommendations? [03:01] SuperMiguel, are you in the text console? no g ui? [03:01] coz_, cli [03:01] shovon... if you don't seen any "nameservers" in the /etc/resolv.conf then something is wrong. you can try manually adding them but they'd likely get overwritten upon reboot [03:01] SuperMiguel, ok are you logged on in cli? [03:01] Where is the thingy for pipes on my keyboard [03:01] Seidos: Yes? [03:01] coz_, yup [03:01] SuperMiguel: are you doing a new install, or did you get a system that had Ubuntu preinstalled? [03:01] OzFalcon: you hear me bro? [03:02] seidos, new install [03:02] Hadding: are you referring to this character?: | [03:02] mostafa_, Something like that. [03:02] yes [03:02] does anyone know the GTK theme that ubuntu 9.10 will be running? [03:02] SuperMiguel, if this is gnome sudo /etc/init.d/ gdm stop or if you want to restart it sudo /etc/init.d/gem restart [03:02] Hadding: above the backslash on my (US) keyboard. [03:02] yes Prince_jammys [03:02] Sedated: I see nameserver but it is the same as my gateway [03:02] timClicks: ask in #ubuntu+1 [03:02] coz_, its kde [03:02] thanks lstarnes [03:02] Hadding: I mean, the same key as \, but shifted. [03:02] SuperMiguel, ok sudo /etc/init.d/kdm stop [03:02] Turbolinux: I think it's possible, but I don't know how to communicate what needs to be done to you. [03:02] | [03:02] amazing [03:02] hehe [03:03] thanks [03:03] does anyboyd herer have experience wioth installing rpm files [03:03] Can anyone help me with a network 'issue' of sorts? [03:03] SuperMiguel, or sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart [03:03] how stable is kde 4.0?? [03:03] OzFalcon: what a stupid structure it is not as flexible as system rescue CD is. sigh [03:03] aleron6: ubuntu uses .deb, not .rpm [03:03] Hmm... I think I must find the model parameter. [03:03] shovon... some routers will act as a nameserver for the local network either by using an internal cache or forwarding requests onto the proper external nameserver so that's normal [03:03] SuperMiguel: not as stable as 4.3 or other later releases [03:03] so rpm is onyly for dedian and red hat [03:03] shovon... if you don't like that you would have to configure the router to give out proper nameservers in dhcp [03:03] Sedated: Oh... ok, I think I got it. Hold on. [03:04] Anyone, please? [03:04] !ask | turbopirat [03:04] turbopirat: 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. :-) [03:04] aleron6: rpm is only for red hat and similar distros [03:04] mostafa_, try just setting up the usb gpared and see if you can install it to HD from there. [03:04] turbopirat .... just ask [03:04] lstarnes, which one does kubuntu 9.04 has? [03:04] SuperMiguel: I'm not sure [03:04] Ok I need help with installing UNR [03:04] Alright [03:04] OzFalcon: Ok bro [03:04] aleron6: there is a tool called alien that can convert packages, but it sometimes messes things up [03:04] turbopirat, if no one can help here then I would go to #linux channel for a braoder number of people who might be able to troubleshoot for you :) [03:04] I am mkaing my / partition and my /home parition should they both be logical or primary or what? [03:04] Fizban140: it doesn't matter [03:05] Is anyone who runs The Sims 3 very well with Wine program? [03:05] Fizban140: ubuntu can use either [03:05] so how do i install alien [03:05] Fizban140: I think you need one primary, the rest can be logical [03:05] what about ext3 or ext4 [03:05] aleron6: sudo apt-get alien [03:05] Fizban140: either [03:05] I have a server on my network, can I mount it somehow so i can get access to it through /? Or is it already there but I can't find it? :) [03:05] Is there a command to stop being root?I used sudo su and i know itll stay for 15 min, but is there a way to end it using a command in the terminal [03:05] aleron6: oops. sudo apt-get install alien [03:05] Hadding: exit [03:05] Hadding: exit [03:05] Fizban140: I haven't installed Ubuntu in months though [03:06] Fizban140 ... it would only matter if you were intending to also install Windows as Windows tends to want to be on a primary partition. linux doesn't care either way so if it's goign to be a linux-only box then the partitions can be whatever you want [03:06] Theres no way of doing it without closing the terminal?

[04:06] Fizban140: at least with the versions of XP and Vista...they were all crippleware unless you bought the most expensive ones [04:06] Nah, I paid $70 for xp pro and it was perfect [04:07] if I was to use Windows I'd probably use Win 7 or server 2008 [04:07] Fizban140: well, then again, you probably use your PC for different things [04:07] I'm a software engineering student [04:07] I prefer a more direct form of communication [04:07] so Linux fulfills my needs better than any version of windows ever will [04:07] I'm not really a fan of forums or email for help, so I try not to go that way at first if I can [04:08] I just want to get my netbook working :P [04:08] Here's my story: I had WinXP installed, ended up installing cygwin, configuring it, installing the cyg cron service, installing python, ruby, xampp, etc. [04:08] making sure mintty works, etc, etc.. it goes on.. i just didn't like it [04:09] I mostly play games [04:09] i play games too.. on my xbox [04:09] i leave games to consoles.. thats where they really belong anyways. [04:10] I play very few games [04:10] 3,000 machine to play the latest 3d game is a ridiculous waste of money [04:10] I need some help setting up firefox through wine. I am new with wine [04:10] I mostly use my machine for work [04:10] detrix, what is wrong with the standard firefox binary for linux ? [04:10] detrix: why would you use FF with wine when it runs natively on Linux? [04:11] loder3331: try doing a search first [04:11] McLinux: trudat. [04:11] if you can't find what you want, then use IRC [04:11] how do i restartx without logging off ? [04:11] detrix: in fact ,if you installed Ubuntu it should already have firefox preinstalled. [04:11] look for the icon! ;) [04:11] McLinux: Chowder: only because of netflix only works on windows. and I thought that if I ran FF through wine I could watch netflix through linux [04:12] shiznebit_: restart what? [04:12] restart X. [04:12] xserver [04:12] netflix uses flash i believe [04:12] i don't think you can... [04:12] eh console games? [04:12] ohwell [04:12] unless you log in through a virtual terminal, then start the x session manually? :) [04:12] there's a major issue with flash performance under linux that adobe has yet (hopefully soon) to resolve [04:12] Games belong on the PC, nothing will replace a key board and mouse until we get some matrix type stuff [04:12] detrix: better of running internet explorer through wine [04:13] I paid a little under a thousand for my PC, including monitor and everything, runs most games on high [04:13] detrix: if netflix uses flash then you should be fine [04:13] Fizban140, there were more "PC" games sold o nthe Xbox360/PS3 than for the PC itself this past year. [04:13] oh snizzity snap. [04:13] Topcat, I searched plenty [04:13] I do like some MMORPGs, though, McLinux [04:13] that don't appear on PS3 [04:13] Ya it is sad but consoles are very popular [04:13] but they're free [04:13] Chowder: no, they check your OS and if its not windows. you dont get their viewer [04:13] Thanks for helping me anyway, I can use firefox for now I suppose [04:13] then try #opera [04:14] Chowder: Playstation Home is an MMORPG, no? [04:14] mmorpgs are somewhat of a special category [04:14] shiznebit_: you will be logged out whenever X is restarted. no way around it that i know of since gdm/kde depend on X [04:14] lol [04:14] RTS too [04:14] k [04:14] detrix: idk but if I payed for a service and they denied me because of what OS I was using I'd raise hell [04:15] shiznebit_: alt+sysrq+k or install the dontzap package then sudo dontzap --disable and you can use alt+ctrl+backspace [04:15] netflix is a piece of crap [04:15] netflix the movie thing? [04:15] well I am done for the day [04:15] !ot [04:15] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [04:15] spent my whole weekend trying to make ubuntu work [04:15] Chowder: seriously considering it. [04:16] I will be back tomorrow probably, same problem [04:16] later guys [04:16] in cases like that, i tend to resintall and try to eliminate a pebcak issue [04:16] detrix: send them an email and if not write a letter to the Free Software Foundation [04:16] STALLMAN TO THE RESCUE [04:16] cant get xp to boot in virtual box, hangs before windows xp logo (safe mode select screen), can anyone help?? [04:17] I'm trying to install the tuxonice kernel. During the intall, it stops with an error "Failed to symbolic-link boot/initrd.img-2.6.28-15-generic to initrd.img" What am I supposed to do to get it to work? I was able to install it before. [04:18] !update [04:18] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [04:19] is there an issue with evbug... I see it spamming my syslog [04:21] so nobody else here uses netflix? [04:21] detrix: seems the issue is that netflix uses Microsoft Silverlight [04:21] detrix, i don't - tpb [04:21] cronjob to delete syslog every hour, problem solved! [04:22] detrix: the issue is DirectX complain to netflix and hope they hear you [04:22] there's a FOSS version for Linux called "Moonlight" but its not compatible with the latest version (2.0) [04:22] I am about to complain to them. [04:22] detrix: you could always run internet explorer in wine but idk if silverlight will work [04:23] or you could run windows in a virtual machine [04:23] I've been unloading evbug from the kernel [04:23] can someone help me with changing the 4 grub legacy line command into grub1.96? [04:23] Chowder: well I have xp also installed, just wondering if I could somehow use wine to make it work.... [04:24] detrix: Just run virtualbox, run a windows VM and run IE in it [04:25] detrix: check out winehq.org [04:25] detrix: and look up silverlight [04:25] they _MIGHT_ (big emphasis on might) have support for it [04:25] and even offer how-tos [04:25] felixsulla: I have never done anything with virtualbox...I will look it to it. later [04:25] EDDY, you there? [04:25] imo, netflix should have never gone with silverlight. They singled Mac and Linux users out. [04:26] what web browser do you guys use [04:26] firefox [04:26] i am trying to install Flash player by the tar.gz file. The instructions on the Adobe website say that once it is unpackaged it will create a directory called install_flash_player_10_linux, but no such directory is created. Have I done something wrong? [04:26] webbb82: firefox [04:26] ScarletSwordfish: why not just get it from the repos? [04:26] can someone help me with changing the 4 grub legacy line command into grub1.96? [04:26] webbb82: Opera 10 is pretty decent, too. [04:27] Chowder: What are the repos? [04:27] ScarletSwordfish: repo is just short for "repositories" [04:27] what about epiphany browser [04:27] is it possible to use xmms2 in ssh so that it will export the sound to another computer? [04:27] Chowder: Where is that? [04:27] ScarletSwordfish: go to add/remove under the menu [04:27] tons of software for you to install [04:28] hmmm? [04:28] change the option up top to "all available software" [04:28] install "Ubuntu restricted extras" and look up flash [04:28] if you can't find flash then fetch the .deb from the official website [04:28] it should work just fine [04:29] webbb82: Personally I dont consider Epiphany a mature browser, but it does work. [04:29] When I try to upgrade my kernel, apt-get/aptitude/synaptic fails, saying "Failed to symbolic-link boot/initrd.img-2.6.28-15-generic to initrd.img" What am I supposed to do to get the upgrade to work? [04:30] Chowder: when i tried the .deb it gave me "Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libnspr4-dev: [04:30] what did they change the name of the ccsm package to? [04:30] ScarletSwordfish: go to system > administration > synaptic package manager [04:30] its like add/remove but more advanced [04:30] look up libnspr4-dev [04:31] rhynarian: You could try simple-ccsm. That's the only thing aptitude search turns up for me. [04:32] ScarletSwordfish: Do an apt-cache search libnspr and see what packages it returns [04:32] I'm trying to play a flash game for nostalgic purposes but I cannot seem to get the sound working. Anyone else have the same problem or a way to enable the sound? http://www.classiconlinegames.nl/arcade/112-galaxian [04:32] onexused1: im looking not for the simple one but the full out configurator with all the optiosn for all the plugins [04:32] can anybody help me with alien converting this file [04:32] !ccsm | rhynarian [04:32] rhynarian: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz [04:32] aleron6: Are you sure there is no deb equivalent [04:32] hola === onexused1 is now known as onexused [04:33] bastid_raZor: thx [04:33] i'm going to try add/remove first [04:33] yes [04:33] ScarletSwordfish: add remove???? [04:34] ScarletSwordfish: it won't work in add/remove if you've got dependency issues [04:34] take kevdog's advice [04:34] aleron6: What's the package and why doesn't alien work? [04:34] When I try to upgrade my kernel, apt-get/aptitude/synaptic fails, saying "Failed to symbolic-link boot/initrd.img-2.6.28-15-generic to initrd.img" What am I supposed to do to get the upgrade to work? [04:34] well poop. [04:34] ScarletSwordfish: the terminal is your friend :) [04:34] its no i just wanna know how to convert it using alien i think i did it wrong [04:35] thei did it the way they showed me in the website [04:35] !info libnsp4-dev [04:35] Package libnsp4-dev does not exist in jaunty [04:35] that's whatthe channel is there for. [04:35] terminals are never my friends :< [04:35] !info libnspr4-dev [04:35] libnspr4-dev (source: nspr): Development files for the NetScape Portable Runtime library. In component main, is optional. Version 4.7.5-0ubuntu0.9.04.1 (jaunty), package size 257 kB, installed size 1420 kB [04:35] aleron6: Have you read man alien? [04:36] ScarletSwordfish: What ubuntu are you using? I'm on intrepid and I have libnspr4-0d and libnspr4-dev in my repositories [04:36] yea its kida confusing [04:36] ScarletSwordfish: in a terminal type apt-cache policy libnspr4-dev ..can you pastebin the output of this command? [04:36] kinda [04:36] i dont get any of it [04:37] aleron6: What package? [04:37] hold on a minute... my computer is running very slow [04:37] aleron6: What kind of package are you trying to convert? [04:37] drivers for my video card [04:37] for i can plkay games [04:37] * kevdog thinks to myself -- the chance of that being successful is extremely slim!!! [04:38] Is there anyway to make the notifications in ubuntu not disapear when you hover over them, and then preferably take you to the thing being notified. (example: if I get a notification of a text message I want to be able to click on it and it bring up my im client window) [04:40] DynamicFail: just click on the smiley face [04:40] works for me [04:42] When I try to upgrade my kernel, apt-get/aptitude/synaptic fails, saying "Failed to symbolic-link boot/initrd.img-2.6.28-15-generic to initrd.img" What am I supposed to do to get the upgrade to work? [04:43] onexused: this is probably a stupid question but are you root? [04:43] "sudo -s" [04:43] then run the command [04:43] sudo apt-get upgrade [04:43] Chowder: what smiley face [04:43] Chowder: the one for pidgin [04:43] when ever you get an IM the icon becomes a smiley [04:43] Chowder: I am. [04:44] onexused: hmmm, not sure tbh [04:44] bastid_raZor: http://pastebin.com/d497f499b [04:44] Chowder: I don't see any smiley face in the notification that comes up [04:45] DynamicFail: might be some option you have to tweak in pidgin [04:45] just play around with it [04:45] is there some way to run a script when i connect to a particular wifi ssid? [04:45] i have a bunch of captive portals at school and i hate having to click click click the browser in order to get ssh up again [04:45] script to do what? [04:45] ugh, yeah i have those. [04:45] captive portals that is [04:46] Chowder: what about in general... like i am in this chat via xchat and I just got a notification that you sent me a message [04:46] is there a way to do that? [04:46] rigel: if you're on ubuntu you usually don't get a captive portal [04:46] uh [04:46] i find that the school network identifies your OS using your user-agent, they only fuck around with windows users [04:46] mac and linux machines are left alone [04:47] ScarletSwordfish: since you need that package.. why don't you install it? add/remove will not install dependencies.. like someone told you earlier synaptic is better to use. [04:47] !language [04:47] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [04:47] well, that hasnt been my experience [04:47] DynamicFail: different programs work in different ways [04:47] IdleOne: get a life =] [04:47] money: follow the rules please [04:47] everyone connecting to a particular ssid gets the captive portal treatment [04:48] DynamicFail: you just have to get to know the program that you're using [04:48] where can i find a halloween screensaver? [04:48] and they only give you access to the non captive network if you have particular vpn software, that is not available for linux [04:48] !offtopic | shamike [04:48] shamike: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [04:48] they make you use VPN?! [04:49] jesus [04:49] sorry, this is just my first day with ubuntu [04:49] so i want to run a script to click me through the main CP page when i connect to that wifi ssid [04:49] (i hope i won't be given the !language treatment for using the lords name in vain) [04:49] anyone point me in the right direction please? [04:49] rigel: i would work on trying to circumvent the captive portal [04:49] money: Not that you should whether or not you'd be told !lang [04:49] shamike: gnome-look.org is a good place for themes/wallpapers/screensavers [04:50] money: um. thats what im trying to do [04:50] money: Though, personally, I don't mind "effs with" as much as that. [04:50] ScarletSwordfish: don't worry about it. Its a new OS. It takes some time to get used to it. Just like a new car. [04:50] rigel: at my university i used wireshark to sniff packets, i found that using a cisco mac address was enough to give me the royal treatment, i tricked the network into thinking i was an approved switch [04:50] =P [04:50] you can always use "fscks with" [04:51] oh. im not sure my wifi card supports promiscuous mode or packet injection [04:51] i havent been able to determine that [04:51] i just got the friggin thing like 2 days ago [04:51] !synaptic | ScarletSwordfish ..this should help [04:51] ScarletSwordfish ..this should help: synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto [04:51] money: I've been wanting to do something like that at my uni but I'm worried about getting caught. What wireless card did you use? Any hacks? [04:52] i setup my own router (they try and block NAT routers) [04:52] and i connect thru that [04:52] since wireless and ethernet have different policies [04:53] play around with mac addy, user-agent, etc. [04:53] money: pretty nice [04:53] When I try to upgrade my kernel, apt-get/aptitude/synaptic fails, saying "Failed to symbolic-link boot/initrd.img-2.6.28-15-generic to initrd.img" What am I supposed to do to get the upgrade to work? [04:54] Is there anyone who can help me with getting a cron job running? [04:55] felixsulla whats the prob [04:55] koshari: It's not running at all, I'm trying to call a Python script. [04:55] have you checked the script? [04:56] The script works great when I call it from the command line manually. [04:56] I've searched all the packages, and I don't see libnspr4-dev among them [04:56] is the script in your patch or have you placed the full path to the script in the cron entry [04:56] path [04:57] */2 * * * * python /home/username/mypy/test/test.py is what I have. [04:58] ScareletSwordfish: Go to command terminal and do a apt-cache search libnspr4 -- its way faster [04:58] Someone told me earlier I have to have a blank line after my entry, which I've done. [04:59] felixsulla you have your headers ok in your crontab like I explained? [04:59] ScarletSwordfish: if you can't find the package you could always get it online [04:59] RHorse: I didnt do anything with headers, none of the tutorials or cron pages I read say anything about them? === poeticrpm is now known as GSF1200S [05:00] * RHorse shakes his head [05:00] rigel: figure it out? [05:00] money: no idea. started asking in debian [05:00] er, #debian [05:00] ScarletSwordfish: By what you've pasted on pastebin this package should be available via repository. You either need to update your repository listing or add a repository -- This shouldn't be all that hard to do [05:00] can someone explain to felixsulla about headers in the crontab. He doesn't trust me. [05:01] Is "crontab -e" the only thing I have to add information to? [05:02] yup [05:02] Unless its the systemwide crontab file -- you want a user cron tab file or the system wide file? [05:03] Anybody here use xmms2? [05:03] I want to make a cron that runs a python script every few days. [05:03] for just your user? [05:03] Yeah, its my stuff and I'm the only user on the machine. [05:03] felixsulla: how does it not work? [05:03] Um, weirdest thing just happened. [05:03] prince_jammys: Well, the script never runs. [05:03] My entire desktop changed. [05:04] felixsulla: how do you determine that? [05:04] weird [05:04] the folder icons went grey, and everything changed [05:04] prince_jammys: My python script writes to a log file, and the log file has no new entries. [05:04] just to check, you've run the script independently of cron? [05:04] ScarletSwordfish: any progress? [05:04] felixsulla: is the log file a full absolute path in the script? [05:05] anyone gotten pidgin video chat to work? [05:05] egomosis: Yep, the script runs great when I just call it direct from the command line, like $python test.py [05:05] kevdog: how do i access the repository, again? [05:05] ScarletSwordfish: synaptic [05:05] ScarletSwordfish: sudo apt-get install libnspr4-dev [05:05] prince_jammys: No, it just runs in the folder its in..? [05:05] Do this: sudo aptitude update --- then do a apt-cache search libnspr4 --- all at command line [05:06] felixsulla: provide a full path. [05:06] it went all clunky and bulky [05:07] felixsulla: debug your cron'd script by also producing output to stdout, and tail -f /var/mail/$USER to see what's happening. [05:07] print path_to_logfile [05:08] prince_jammys: tail -f /var/mail/$USER gives an error message, no such file or directory. [05:09] run the cron'd script first, and then try. [05:09] hey anybody know a little about firestarter firewall program? I have it installed but I cannot get it to start it says the nic card that im trying to setup sharing with is not working. [05:09] prince_jammys: Ok, added absolute path on the log file, ran it again from command line, and it updated the log properly. [05:10] good. [05:10] ckarkkent12880: Well is the other NIC working? [05:10] yeah im chatting with it right now to you [05:11] can anyone tell me if theres a command like ipconfig [05:11] for ubuntu? [05:11] there is ifconfig [05:11] kynian: ifconfig [05:11] kynian: ifconfig [05:11] aint that ifconfig? [05:11] Notice the "f' [05:11] kynian: or ip addr show [05:12] i learned that today :P [05:12] ckarkkent12880: You said you wanted to do sharing which I interpreted Network connections sharing which implies 2 network cards [05:12] hi [05:12] yeah yeah sorry [05:12] thank you very much [05:12] Cool it with the ifconfig alreade [05:12] i got 2 nics [05:12] ckarkkent12880: Well is the other NIC working? [05:12] 1 connected to my cable modem [05:12] guys i cannot download anything in ubuntu the downlads keep failing [05:12] Ok, so the syslog at least is showing cron entries [05:12] ckarkkent12880: NS!!! But where is the other connected? [05:12] So it seems like its trying :/ [05:13] I need help with an Apache error log entry [05:13] its connected to a network switch thing [05:13] guys i really need help [05:14] brandon, yes you do [05:14] which connects to a winxp machine [05:14] xmnt: ?\ [05:14] brandon, what's up?

[05:15] working on it [05:15] oh the switch is a piece of crap, and it has a built in firewall that even when i try to port foward the right way it still doesnt work [05:15] sorry, my computer is slow [05:15] brandon, it's possible that it's dropping the connection frequently ... wifi sometimes goes in and out w/out you seeing the diff. in the wifi manager [05:15] likes to take its time switching between applications [05:15] hi all [05:15] ? [05:16] ckarkkent12880: But if its a piece of crap -- then get rid of it -- if its somewhere in your chain then its going to be the weak link [05:16] and where you can download the codecs in the deb package for viewing video [05:16] brandon, trying running a ping for several minutes and see if you get abnormally long pings occasionally [05:16] !codecs [05:16] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [05:16] monax66: What program do you want to watch the vids with?

I don't even use apache any more .. just nginx [05:50] Never heard of it [05:50] kynian | send a pastebin link for your /etc/network/interfaces file [05:50] !webmin |xmnt [05:50] xmnt: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu.

[05:52] not realy but i moved the computer closer and even bought an extension to the cable, it works fine in windows' [05:52] I am no expert, obviously [05:52] So I dunno [05:52] Barridus | doing that way is good. Besides if you dont want to do it via terminal, you will have to find the app in gnome to connect to a network drive [05:53] xmnt: extension to the attena srry [05:53] Barridus | sorry i dont remember where is it but I know its under Places or System Tools, dont use gnome thats why [05:53] willca: http://pastebin.com/m1608b753 [05:53] willca, but nautilus has a "network" browsing ability. used to work in previous ubuntus [05:54] albn, apache is fine - once you get tired of it check out lighttpd and nginx [05:54] Hello, anyone around?

[06:12] caustic: They already do, they are simply mount points whereever you mounted them... /media/myshare1 or whatever [06:13] prince_jammys: thanks, let me try that [06:13] jmarsden: I would have thought that, dolphin is giving me issues makeing a mount point [06:13] caustic: what is dolphin and why would you be using it to make a mount point, just use mkdir for that :) [06:13] jmarsden: says it can't find my server [06:13] xmnt: so what should we do? [06:14] jmarsden: dolphin is kde's file manager [06:14] caustic: If you type the command mount do you see the shares there ? [06:14] jmarsden: dolphen is default KDE file manager. still a little shaky on command line IF there is a GUI program that will make all the settings for me [06:15] prince_jammys: I logged out and back in but it still echos the same [06:15] jmarsden: let's find out [06:15] caustic: It's harder to do IRC support for GUI stuff, easier to tell people what to type than where to click :) [06:15] hello, how can I download a package without actually installing it? (I want to view the contents) [06:15] herenbdy: --download-only [06:15] neekers: curious. type: source .bash_profile in your shell [06:15] brandon, at this point the only thing I can really suggest is either moving your computer closer to the wireless or hooking up a wired connect [06:16] jmarsden: you make a fair point. [06:16] herenbdy use the -s argument with apt-get (simulate) [06:16] xmnt: neither are options, so is there any easy way to connect the two computers? [06:16] RHorse: No, -s will not download the package :) -d will [06:16] prince_jammys: I did that at it immediately returned the prompt [06:16] this package is already installed though [06:16] neekers: is the PATH the way you wanted? [06:17] brandon, not that I'm aware of ... it's not easy to do share a connect like that in linux but maybe someone else has advice on that [06:17] Hi [06:17] jmarsden: how about if I back up a step. Can I use a network location in an open dialog like i would use smb://192.168.1.150/ to click through to the directories i need? [06:17] jmarsden oh ok that is what the op wanted [06:17] xmnt: wait i think my windows boot on my laptop lets me do that let me check [06:17] brandon, also there is an application you can install on your laptop that will download all the necessary apps onto a cd ... and you can use that as your repo on your other cmoputer [06:17] prince_jammys: i wanted to add /usr/local/apache-maven to my PATH [06:19] neekers: yes, i know. [06:19] jmarsden: heh I think i'll just bite it and drop to command prompt and mount it from there :) [06:19] caustic: That all depends on the app concerned and whether it handles smb: style . It is usually easier to mount the shares you want and then open them as part of the Linux file tree, in my experience. [06:19] caustic: Good choice :) [06:19] thank you guys for all the help and hope you get your stuff solved [06:19] prince_jammys: oh... i guess i didn't understand your question [06:19] caustic, thanks for the good luck! [06:19] hope i didn't confuse you, pyro [06:20] neekers: do you have a file ~/.profile ?

[07:00] or check System>Administration>Hardware Drivers [07:00] sarthor: idk what to do then [07:00] see if there are any drivers available [07:00] <`c00> but I did try loggin as root using the new password I create and I was able to logged in [07:00] sarthor: but try to find .tgz or .tar.gz [07:00] Reactor, even it was working b4, but i installed EnvyNG for double monitors. so its not workingn now.

Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [07:05] I could be wrong, but sudo startx doesn't sound like it would work [07:05] `c00: you can disable it as well [07:05] how?

[08:13] mobal, yes === Niamor59 is now known as Niamor [08:13] than [08:13] sk8rlife125: yeah [08:13] your driver is working :S [08:13] Hmm [08:13] I didn't know [08:14] that there was any pay software for Linux [08:14] SharpRain: of course there is, but I didn't point any out to you [08:14] SharpRain: There is lots of pay software for linux. vbox is not pay software though... [08:14] hi there.. can anybody helpme reinstalling libc6? [08:15] im getting this error always 'E: Internal Error, Could not perform immediate configuration (2) on libc6' [08:15] I will get it, thanks [08:15] lews: sudo aptitude reinstall libc6 [08:15] SharpRain: virtualbox-ose is fully open source, virtualbox is "free for personal use" if you need the extra features it has over virtualbox-ose. [08:15] SharpRain: non-free just means that the source is not copyright-free/patent-free [08:15] Oh, cool. [08:15] lews: libc6 is fairly critical to the main system running, reinstalling it may require drastic steps [08:15] SharpRain: penumbra, crossover office, cedega, nero4linux are paid for softwares in linux [08:15] I can do anything in it and have it not effect my system>? [08:15] on my windows boot i have the driver backed up incase i need to reformat soz i always i have sound on windows [08:16] Gnea i fixed it on another server by downloading it from a ftp [08:16] brb going to search the web again [08:16] but idk where i found it [08:16] it was on google but idk where [08:16] SharpRain: Well, it uses CPU, RAM, disk space, network bandwidth... [08:16] lews: what's wrong with it? [08:16] i try to apt-get install g++ [08:16] it doesnt install and shows this [08:16] E: Internal Error, Could not perform immediate configuration (2) on libc6 [08:16] any other errors? [08:17] jus this [08:17] Gnea i fixed this on another server by downloading 2 files of libc6 [08:17] and isntalling em manually [08:17] lmao i keep finding posts with my same questions but no one seems to have answers [08:17] but i cant find the file anymore [08:17] i downloaded both and did dpkg [08:17] lews: was it running ubuntu/ [08:17] yes [08:17] i guess my ubuntu boot just isnt ment to have sound [08:17] version? [08:18] 7 [08:18] lews: are you trying to get to thenext release? [08:18] no ActionParsnip [08:18] lews: 7.what? [08:18] just trying to install g++ [08:18] 7.04 [08:18] lews: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:18] didn't we stop supporting that?

[08:18] Gnea all i want is the link [08:18] of the libc6 ubuntu version [08:19] !info g++ > sk8rlife125 [08:19] lews: yeah, 7.04 is unsupported. [08:19] jmarsden: Yeah, but I can do anything like install software etc and It won't screw up anything but the vbox thing?

[08:34] ActionParsnip: what are those numbers [08:34] hai [08:34] ActionParsnip:??? === Reactor_ is now known as Reactor [08:34] brijith: when yourun the command, what number do you see? [08:35] brijith: be patient, i type fast but jeez [08:35] Heyy [08:35] I just installed a bin file and im wondering how i run it now :P [08:36] turneralex_: check in your menus, or type thename of the app, try using tab to complete it [08:36] ActionParsnip: No luck, im in the CLI [08:36] it should run as a service [08:36] i didnt see it in init.d [08:37] turneralex_: then run: & [08:37] turneralex_: A .bin file? Why did you do that and are you sure it is safe? If you are sure, you can sometimes run it using ./filename.bin [08:37] turneralex_: it will put it in the background (due to he &) character [08:37] Yeah its safe from a large reputable company [08:37] i ran the bin file [08:37] s/he/the [08:37] its an installer [08:37] that installed a program? now i dont know how to access it [08:38] Does anyone know where to find older versions of G++? [08:38] turneralex_: you could also run: ps -ef | less [08:38] dont u have to first changedirectories to where the file is located and then run a command idk what it is off hand and then retype the directoriy [08:38] turneralex_: make sure its not already running [08:38] ActionParsnip: I got a link http://onlyubuntu.blogspot.com/2009/08/howto-install-nvidia-1851836-drivers-in.html . in it they says to download a diver and install it .... [08:38] turneralex_: Sinced we have no idea what the installer did, there is no way to give a correct anwer for you :) [08:38] with the file name at the end [08:38] turneralex_: Did the installer not say anything at all about what it was installing? [08:38] its not running [08:38] brijith: what was the output of the command I gave you, there will be a number to identify thenvidia chip you are using [08:39] ManageEngine Netflow analyzer [08:39] brijith: i need that number [08:39] Will this nvidia driver work for my board K*V MX [08:39] brijith: yes but you wont give me the info i need so you are holding up the process === jackson is now known as jackson_ [08:39] ActionParsnip: sorry, I can give the out put [08:40] brijith: is it a newish card [08:40] ActionParsnip: because I am not in the machine which is having the probelm [08:40] So for general experimenting, should I use a vbox or new user? [08:41] brijith: ok well we need to fid out what nvidia chip it uses [08:41] brijith: you can always ssh over to it and run the command [08:41] ;) [08:41] turneralex_: Read the product documentation? http://www.manageengine.com/products/netflow/help/index.html [08:42] turneralex_: especially http://www.manageengine.com/products/netflow/help/installation/start-netflow-analyzer.html [08:43] bOt_tOOls hAs ignOred → [08:43] 420 bOts And llAmAs. ⚡ [08:43] 38 privAte messAges. ⚡ [08:43] SharpRain: It depends what kind of experimentation you have in mind :) [08:43] bOt_tOOls hAs ignOred → [08:43] 420 bOts And llAmAs. ⚡ [08:43] 38 privAte messAges. ⚡ [08:43] ∈ scAnning fOr bOts ∋ [08:43] I'm setting up a new user for testing, mainly using console for stuff, should he be unprivleged or desktop user?

[08:43] ActionParsnip: http://reviews.cnet.com/motherboards/asus-k8v-mx-socket/1707-3049_7-31532880.html [08:43] What's the difference between a vbox and new user? [08:43] ActionParsnip: please check it .... [08:44] SharpRain: One creates a virtual machine, the other just... creates a new user :) Totally different things. [08:44] Yes, but usually a new user can't alter much [08:44] i would use virtual machine [08:44] brijith: that link says the video is VIA UniChrome Pro, not nvidia [08:44] cause anything u do there shouldnt effect ur current install [08:44] ahhhh wtf "java.io.IOException: Cannot allocate memory [08:44] " [08:44] I'm creating one now to experiment with the console - should it be unprivileged or 'desktop user'? [08:44] brijith: if you have nstalled an nvidia fx card in the system then the link is useless [08:45] i would buy/build a crap computer there we go [08:45] im still a noob soz i have no clue srry guy [08:45] sk8rlife125: as you use the system you will learn [08:45] How can I check a single file for corruption? [08:45] ActionParsnip: what you think is there driver that supports VIA UniChrome Pro, === sourcode[0] is now known as sync [08:46] SharpRain: ? How are you creating the user? Just sudo useradd -m fred # to create a new user named fred [08:46] No, using the user GUI in ubuntu [08:46] brijith: there is, the chrome driver is part of the very bloated nstall of ubuntu [08:46] brb [08:46] SharpRain: theres a user admin tool in administration, the cli is quicker [08:46] NE1 WANT 2 HAV BRKN CELLULALUM SSOW KRRSM GGKUMKGB [08:46] Will one user be able to use another's firefox bookmarks? [08:46] videocard is a pain [08:47] SharpRain: Not unless the two users cooperate to share them in some way, no. [08:47] anyone know bestway to install 4870x2 on bunts? [08:47] SharpRain: you could give the user access to the other users .mozilla folder, then symlink it [08:47] Hmm [08:47] iceblock: 4870? [08:48] Actionparsnip: yes 4870x2 [08:48] ActionParsnip: Ewww... then if they are both logged in at once... bad stuff is possible as they both access the one profile... have you actually tried that? [08:48] SharpRain: if you use user switching and not logging of, it will lock the folder [08:48] I have a D drive and a C drive, which one will the new user have access to? [08:48] iceblock: repeating doesnt clarify anything [08:48] ATI 4870x2 [08:48] sharperguy: linux doesnt use drive letters [08:49] iceblock: better [08:49] !ati | iceblock [08:49] iceblock: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [08:49] that url is driving me nuts [08:49] lol [08:49] i've tried it over and over [08:50] what is the path for my C drive in Ubuntu? [08:50] how do u get into different chat rooms? [08:50] Like cd C:/ or something>? [08:50] SharpRain: There are no C and D drives in Linux, the new user will use the parts of the Linux filesystem he has permission to use. By default his home dir will be /home/fred if his username is fred [08:50] sk8rlife125: /j # just like you joined this one [08:50] ok [08:50] Hmm [08:51] My linux filesystem is on a 40GB partition of my C drive [08:51] sharef: it will be /dev/sda2 for the partition, it will modt likely mount in /media as a folder [08:51] sharperguy: c drive doesnt mean anything here [08:51] So really, how do I access the other HDD's via the console? [08:51] sharperguy: if you run: sudo fdisk -l; mount [08:51] My 320GB drive, my 500GB, and my 40GB partition of my 500GB drive [08:51] SharpRain: No, "C Drive" is a Windows concept! You mount other partitions and then you can use them [08:51] they are all mounted [08:51] sharperguy: you will see your partitions and ow they are mounted [08:51] They are all mounted [08:51] I can get into them with the ubuntu GUI [08:51] Then cd to them and ... use them/ [08:52] How do I CD into them [08:52] cd xxx [08:52] cd /mountpoint/whatever [08:52] bom dia [08:52] sharperguy: then read theoutput of the command I gave and you will see where the partition is mounted [08:52] The cd command works veri similarly in Linux and in Windows :) [08:52] Is there a way to generate a script of all the packages I've installed? [08:52] sharperguy: cd to enter . cd .. to move up a folder, if its mounted you can also use nautilus [08:53] !clone | Seven-7 [08:53] Seven-7: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [08:53] So it's in /media/ [08:53] actually how many groups a user can be in? [08:53] That's crazy complex. [08:53] SharpRain: It is whereever you mounted it :) That's a common place to mount stuff. [08:53] lol yup [08:53] SharpRain: its wherever its mounted according to the output of: mount [08:54] Seven-7: dpkg --get-selections # will give you a list [08:54] hey im not only ubuntu noob here =) [08:54] SharpRain: if you run the command you will see if and where it is mounted [08:54] I didn;t mount it to a specific place [08:54] I just clicked mount [08:54] lol [08:54] hi, how can I find out where was a package installed? [08:54] It's in /media/ [08:54] camonz: dpkg -L packagename [08:54] camonz: dpkg -L [08:54] kinda strange huh sharp [08:54] SharpRain: ok then use nautilus to review / manipulate the files [08:55] sharprain have u tried using places computer to find ur drives? [08:55] how do you hide hidden directories in save and open dialogue boxes? [08:55] sk8rlife125: Maybe reading a tutorial such as http://tldp.org/LDP/intro-linux/html/intro-linux.html would help you become more familiar with Linux in general?

But if it is one you ned to be mounted, you can't check it and use it at the same time. [09:23] hehehe [09:24] ActionParsnip: did u c anything useful? [09:25] jmarsden, in this case I m using ext3 on my / which and it does routine checks at startup .. takes quite a while unless I cancel it [09:25] guest1: i'd try this: http://ubuntu-virginia.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5754065 [09:25] CodeWar: Understood. But since by definition you can't do a valid e2fsck on a mounted filesystem, when else is the check supposed to happen? :) [09:25] guest1: compiling is release independant. You will need to recompile if you change kernel. but could make things nice [09:26] jmarsden, well since I dont know what e2fsck is let me go google for it === BlaSux is now known as Stiletto [09:27] CodeWar: Best solution would be to have a smallish root fs so it can be checked faster. You can slao adjust the frequency of the checks using tune2fs -c if you want to mess with that and know enough :) [09:27] s/slao/also/ [09:27] CodeWar: man e2fsck is probably a better bet than google for a Linux command, by the way :) === [1]Sergeant_Pony is now known as Sergeant_Pony2 [09:32] jmarsden: could ask jeevs, he may know ;) [09:33] !info e2fsck [09:33] Package e2fsck does not exist in jaunty [09:34] !fsck [09:34] fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly.

[10:38] The problem is that I cannot reduce the brightness with the Fn keys. [10:39] bbrewer69: probabl.y yes [10:39] egomosis, totem won't work at all, dragon works and eventually gets stuck, vlc works and eventually gets stuck, and let me see if i am getting you correctly, what you're tellingme to do is turn off the desktop effects before playing the movie right? that's what i do [10:39] perdiguero: do follow instructions on how to, has the syslinux been burned to usb ? [10:39] perdiguero: sorry wrong nick [10:39] zebaztian: actually i'm recommending you completely disable compiz [10:40] egomosis? why? [10:40] zebaztian: they cause issues like these all the time [10:40] zebaztian: for some reason they just aren't friends. i don't know where the conflict actually is. [10:40] What Video Card are you runnign and what driver? [10:41] desktop effects is hopeless [10:41] indus: some of us enjoy our eye candy, and are willing to be inconvenienced for it ;-) [10:41] i know , but from the beginnning , it gave me a headaache [10:41] literally i mean [10:41] I am running a Radeon4850 and Catylist 9.9 driver with FULL effects and Totem and VLC are rock solid. [10:42] indus: word [10:42] If you getting instability, update your drivers [10:42] they need to make effects behave like in mac os [10:42] it seems so seamless and part of the os unlike desktop effects which bog down the system [10:43] Is there an application to check the status of both batteries on a laptop. I have two batteries and I want to see which is which and whether they are both charging properly. I suspect one is knackered. Thanks for your consideration. [10:43] get the Compiz Setting Manager and you can adjust and mod what you need [10:43] i have a nice graphics card but it alwayss is sluggish with desktop effects [10:43] perdiguero: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=6204 was the best I could find for ya until someone with more experience can find better [10:43] indus: get video drivers in [10:43] DigitalDarkness: is that different than the fglrx driver? [10:43] DigitalDarkness: nvm, i prefer the non desktop effects [10:43] indus: I tried to install the miniapplication of Ubuntu to regulate brightness but doesn't works. This laptop works with a ATI Radeon graphics card [10:44] perdiguero: so right now the fn keeys dontwork for any function? eg sound? [10:44] @ Egomis yes, the ones that download on jaunty are outdated and crash like hell al lthe time. The ones from ATI/AMD website are solid. [10:45] You gota take into account that compiz fusion is being updated in conjunction with newer drivers constantly. You use older drivers with it and it becomes unstable. [10:45] DigitalDarkness: do amd drivers work good these days> i plan to buy 4850 [10:46] They are great and getting better. 2 years back I would have worried. but since they joined in with AMD they have been heading in a good direction. [10:46] DigitalDarkness: compiz seems really stable, never any problems until i start up a movie...though with the most recent patches it's a lot better. [10:46] egomosis: sorry computer froze [10:46] what did you last say to me? [10:46] you had suggested i disabled compiz completely for some reason [10:46] Is it possible using pam_ldap, to prevent successful login if an account in Microsoft Active Directory is set to "disabled"? At the moment I can disable an account, but still login when using pam_ldap. My pam.d config for sshd (account) is: account required /usr/local/lib/pam_ldap.so [10:46] @Ego, yea I had the same issues, Update driver from ATI or NVidias sight, depends on which brand you have and it fixes that issue. [10:47] Most users that have issues with video and compiz are using outdated drivers. [10:48] egomosis, why would you recomend that i completely disable compiz and how cna i go about doing that anyway? [10:49] zebaztian: because it clashes with video, but as DigitalDarkness has pointed out, it may be a driver issue. I replace compiz with metacity before playing movie with the command metacity --replace in a terminal [10:50] egomosis: what's the command on the shell again? [10:50] and do you recomend i get rid of it? [10:50] what about when i'm on kde? [10:50] metacity --replace [10:50] that i don't know [10:50] i use gnome [10:50] zebaztian: u on kde? [10:51] zebaztian: in gnome go to system>preferences>appeareance > visual effects > none [10:51] i'm on kde right now but only for this conversation purposes [10:51] indus [10:51] hola [10:51] hola [10:52] alguien [10:52] egomosis, so i just typed that command in the terminal, should i get rid of compiz altogether? [10:52] zebaztian: depends on how much you like cool effects [10:53] DigitalDarkness: does the 9.9 driver require a purge of previous drivers first, or can i just do the .run? === xan_ is now known as lie [10:53] hola [10:54] necesito ayuda [10:55] !es new12 [10:55] Sorry, I don't know anything about es new12 [10:55] egomosis: cool is debatable [10:55] !es | new12 [10:55] new12: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés.

[10:57] zebaztian: if you really want to get rid of it, i would use synaptic, but i don't know if that's really necessarry [10:58] why do u need desktop effects in kde? its already gorgeous [10:58] cube [10:58] indus, for the cube effects [10:58] I have an problem with an Brother MFC-5440CN Printer I can't chose the MFC-5440CN driver but i have downloaded an package in the synaptic package system (apt-get with gui) which provide the driver but i still can't chose it?! can Anyone help me?

[12:44] indus: k [12:44] SingAlong: why dont you install network manager from synaptic? [12:45] Aijse so nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf ? [12:45] ok i think that's it, now i scroll down till i find what? [12:45] indus: because my netbook doesnt have an internet connection now. :) I'm on my desktop. [12:45] SingAlong: ya ok [12:46] zebastian, yes but its usefull if you know what you are doing when using a command, nano is a text editing program that works in the comand line, so what you do is open a doc and change its content there. [12:46] SingAlong: You mean the nm-applet isn't working? [12:46] SingAlong: he deleted the package [12:46] quit [12:46] exit [12:46] leaf-sheep: he deleted it [12:46] leaf-sheep: i removed the network-manager-gnome pkg by mistake while installing lxde [12:46] zebastian, you scroll down in the text file to a section Devices [12:46] indus: Ah-ha. Silly sheep. [12:47] ok got it [12:47] now what do i do [12:47] SingAlong: why dont use the one with lxde then [12:47] leaf-sheep: i installed lxnm, which removed the network-manager-gnome pkg. [12:47] it says section device identifier underneath [12:47] and configured video device in quotations [12:47] SingAlong: Long to configure via terminal. Longer if you have encrypted wireless. Longest because you have to figure how to use it. [12:47] SingAlong: wvdial is for modem based connections so ..... [12:47] zebastian, under the section devices you see all kind of options of your video card. [12:48] indus: dunno. that thing doesnt work with wifi [12:48] indus: oh [12:48] zebastian, change the driver from ati or fglrx or so to vesa [12:48] SingAlong: the network-manager gnome can be instaleld again maybe [12:48] SingAlong: it must be on the systme still [12:48] leaf-sheep: ya my wifi is encrypted. [12:48] SingAlong: sudo apt-get install [12:48] SingAlong: Try what indus suggest earlier... wcid something. [12:48] Aijse how do i get into the section device, i can't go into it with the arrows [12:49] indus: anyway. i'm compiling and installing getext which is a dependency to compile network manager. i just copied both the sources to the netbook to compile and install. [12:49] zebastian, can u scroll with mouse or page up - down keys [12:49] leaf-sheep: both wvdial and wcid say command not found [12:49] but once i get to section device [12:49] what do i do [12:50] SingAlong: It mean they're not installed. You shouldn't need source codes. Use the repo. Also, can you paste the /etc/network/interfaces? [12:50] SingAlong: i think sudo apt-get install network-manager-gnome [12:50] zebastian, vesa is a driver that is very stable and works with all ati cards, so you change the driver to vesa. === sorenmalling_ is now known as sorenmalling [12:50] leaf-sheep: k [12:51] zebastian, you will have a very low performance driver but atleast you get your desktop back and from there try to get proper drivers. [12:51] Aijse but how do i gto to do that, again i am not used to cli, os i see a cursor and i can go up and down the file [12:51] but i can't figure how to change or even see the drivers [12:51] zebastian, go down with your cursor [12:51] SingAlong: so why cant you add the usb as a repo? [12:51] zebastian, further then the lowest line on your screen [12:51] indus: when i select "add cdrom" it waits for a cdrom to be added [12:52] SingAlong: hmm [12:52] Aijse on the lowest line is end section after section monitor, etc [12:52] is there anyway to add a .tar.gz file to synaptic to install? [12:52] SingAlong: 1 min [12:53] indus: k [12:53] under section "screen" i have identifier: default screen, monitor: configured monitor and device configured video device [12:53] on xubuntu i cant resize or maximize games windows, why ? [12:53] indus: the add downloaded pkg option doesnt take the tag file [12:53] Aijse i am apologize, i'm su re this is frustrating and it was not my intention, i'm trying to figure out things here [12:53] SingAlong: no its not possible for tar files [12:53] sorry+ [12:54] leaf-sheep Okay flash is uninstalled [12:54] SingAlong: as far as i know its not possible [12:54] zebastian, there must be a section Section "Device" [12:54] yes [12:54] but if i move the cursor over it [12:54] it only moves [12:54] somebody please help me before i shoot myself. i have no idea what to do. i can't participate in the chat activity in the channel [12:54] zebastian and if there is not we should make 1 [12:54] there's no other option [12:54] indus: oh ya figured out. downloaded the deb file here http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/i386/network-manager-gnome/download [12:54] hi all! [12:54] not this channel [12:54] SingAlong: after toying around with term for a min, I may have come across something, if there's no objections otherwise try "sudo apt-get source -b network-manager" supposedly that'll build you a deb [12:54] Zehava: Run in the terminal --> sudo aptitude install flashplugin-nonfree [12:54] there is one Aijse [12:54] zebastian, yes, its a text editor like I told [12:54] SingAlong: heh, I'm always just a min too late [12:55] SingAlong: ya that is good , but make sure you have all dependencies downloaded too [12:55] Some help would be really appreciated. [12:55] so i write or substitute something? [12:55] SingAlong: i suggest wicd because it has no gnome dependencies except gtk [12:55] it looks like this [12:55] Section "Device" [12:55] zebastian, you have to go with your cursor to the place whre it says Driver "ati" [12:55] nsdiogfdshiuofgh: whats the problem [12:55] Aijse there's no place where it says driver ait [12:56] ati*^ [12:56] nsdiogfdshiuofgh: could you post your question please [12:56] Guys... I'm running a dual-boot here, but I'll remove the Windows partition... is there any problem with that? [12:56] zebastian, is there a place where it says driver "anything" ? [12:56] there's section device identifier, "configured video device" [12:56] JulioNeto: yes, wont be able to boot windows :) [12:56] Hello, does anybody know why compositing for KDE doesn't work (fglrx driver) in OpenGL-Mode while it does in XRender? The strange thing is OpenGL worked fine until I tried out "shared memory" in OpenGL-Settings - since then, OpenGL doesn't work any longer [12:56] How do I remove/replace false albumart from mp3's? [12:57] Aijse nope, [12:57] zebastian: under where it says Identifier "Configured Video Device" add this Driver "vesa" [12:57] does ubuntu have problems processing sound? [12:57] indus, I'll remove it... I don't want it anymore =) [12:57] jakes: No. It is just you. [12:57] JulioNeto: no problem if u remove [12:57] legend2440 to the right? [12:57] what's the format, [12:57] under it new line [12:58] Driver "nvidia" [12:58] indus, are you sure? .___. [12:58] Driver "vesa" [12:58] JulioNeto: just delete /format the partition? [12:58] zebastian: Driver "vesa" [12:58] leaf-sheep: funny reply :D to jakes [12:58] legend2440 ok now what? [12:58] jakes: what do you mean processing sound [12:59] zebastian: ctrl + o [12:59] indus its like skipping and repeating when i play sound [12:59] leaf-sheep I will run that in just a moment. Guess it's not fully uninstalled as it still showing video in FF [12:59] indus: I know. It's obvious a problem he's having. :3 [12:59] legend2440 after that? [12:59] indus kinda like a skipping CD [12:59] jakes: hmm could be pulseaudio related [12:59] zebastian: ctrl + letter x [12:59] jakes: any specific file? [12:59] zebastian, reboot [12:59] youtube [12:59] Zehava: Using Firefox? Close all browsers. [13:00] zebastian: yes reboot [13:00] legend2440 i get file name to write: /etc/X11/xorg.conf [13:00] jakes: youtube? hmm a flash issue probably, sound playing before viedeo etc? [13:00] indus, nope... I'll REMOVE the partition and resize the Ubuntu's partition [13:00] im gonna try and restart firefox [13:00] JulioNeto: hmm resize? [13:00] zebastian: hit enter [13:00] Zehava: Restart. Ensure that it's not working. [13:00] legend2440 Aijse i can't get out, like i edited what you told me and then after control o [13:00] Zehava: I mean (Restart the browsers). [13:00] leaf-sheep yes I closed all and restarted and it was still there. I"m double checking all plugins directories now [13:00] indus it was firefox issue fixed [13:00] Hellow [13:00] JulioNeto: there is no problem removing windows, just make sure grub doesnt mess up [13:01] to reboot ctrl alt del ? [13:01] indus, how I do that? '-' [13:01] jakes: ya its either ffox or flash [13:01] french ? [13:01] ok restarting [13:01] JulioNeto: nvm., go ahead ,nothing will happen [13:01] indus, thanks :D [13:01] JulioNeto: tell me how to resize [13:01] I thought grub only messed up when windows was installed, not removed [13:01] I have a problem with wifi on my laptop. I am running Ubuntu Hardy Heron on a Dell Latitude C610 with an aftermarket wifi card. Wifi connects fine but internet browsing is very unreliable withpages taking ages to load or just getting "Address Not Found" messages. The Network Monitor applet reports that the wifi signal strength is very strong (laptop is right next to the router). When I connect the laptop to the router with an ethernet cable internet [13:01] JulioNeto: i want to try that too [13:02] JulioNeto: any idea how to resize windows?

[13:04] Timothe: but there is a channel ubuntu+1 [13:04] but I was sure it would atleast start up after upgrading [13:04] zebastian, then im not sure if you saved the file we edited correctly [13:04] JulioNeto: You're going to resize it on LiveCD, right? [13:04] if I am SCPing a lot of files....it goes slow because it has to transfer all the files seperatly. if I use the compress flag. Will it compress the files into 1 file and then snd that? [13:04] Timothe: post in the karmic forums , you will behelped [13:04] Aijse ok i'm going to go back into recovery mode and check [13:04] leaf-sheep, yep [13:04] leaf-sheep Okay it says it's installed. Test it in FF now? [13:04] JulioNeto: Good. Making sure. [13:04] indus: We have a channel here, #ubuntu+1 [13:04] Zehava: Yes.

[13:06] hmm intresting xD [13:06] zebastian, yes, you can use up arrow on an empty command line to get the last command you used. [13:06] hey guys if i wanted to edit programs in ubuntu what language is it in? [13:06] polubomu [13:06] jakes: several [13:06] rekcya: english please [13:06] python? [13:07] nebudu [13:07] jakes: if you are new to programing - you may want to go learn python. its a handy language to learn [13:07] even compiling gettext doesnt work [13:07] abys https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft [13:07] jakes: several different languages [13:07] Zehava: But the sounds does work for others? Like you said earlier. [13:07] Dr_Willis, i think i'm going to but, is it worth it? I mean will have much more control over my programs? [13:08] !pastebinit [13:08] 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 [13:08] yes ? [13:08] correct, sound notifications from pigin, testing in sound settings, startup and shutdown sounds... [13:08] Aijse, just opened it, when i go to Section "device" underneath device there's identifier and to the right there's configured video device" underneath i wrote driver and then "vesa" [13:08] sosite xuj [13:08] then underneath that end section [13:08] rekcya: please use English [13:08] should vesa be in capitals? [13:08] leaf-sheep I have used the 'test' button in sound settings and it works fine along wiht my pigin notifications, they are both working as of right now still [13:08] jakes: if you know python you can work for ubuntu [13:08] jakes: from home :) [13:09] work for? [13:09] jakes: python is very handy. [13:09] jakes: canonical [13:09] jakes: good for little and big tasks. [13:09] beeble1 : ye ? [13:09] indus i'm sure they don't employ that many people [13:09] jakes: if you are planingon doing lots of programing. You will want to learn many diffrent languages. === wertik_rus is now known as wertik_rus_away [13:09] indus: you're getting a bit ahead of things [13:09] jakes: python is used to 'glue' together a lot of ubuntu paackages [13:09] Zehava: Right now, I'm looking at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash#Troubleshooting --> See if that will help you. In Sound section. [13:09] Aijse should the v in vesa be capital? [13:10] jakes: try python its a nice language to learn, easy [13:10] zebastian, no no capitals, let me have a moment to figure [13:10] I do not have the time to go to college and learn programming can i still be good at it? [13:10] Zehava: You use VLC? [13:10] !netsplit [13:10] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [13:10] jakes: yes you can [13:10] jajajajajajaajajajaja [13:10] hahahahahahaha [13:10] jakes: start with the official python tutorials [13:10] jakes: www.python.org [13:11] Zehava: You use VLC? [13:11] leaf-sheep I have before but not since this install [13:11] alright i will [13:11] i started with perl [13:11] jakes: you can work on maybe some ubuntu packages and get your hands dirty [13:11] I want to scp some files with mode=0400 from PC1 to PC2, while preserving attributes. How can I do that? scp -rp root@PC2 . ? [13:11] *with sudo in front? [13:11] jakes: and if u learn enough, ill get you a job provided you move to india :) [13:11] zebastian, device should with Capital, and Driver aswell [13:11] Zehava: I see. There also are "mozilla-plugin-vlc" --- That is plugins for multi format sounds and videos. [13:12] alkisg: perhaps with rsync over ssh you might be able to do that [13:12] indus, haha i think i will stay here but thank you [13:12] can one even do 'sudo scp ' in ubuntu? since root on the box has no password? [13:12] * leaf-sheep rides the waves! Up and down! Up and down! WIPEOUT! :< [13:12] Aijse should vesa have a capital v? [13:12] zebastian, no [13:12] aijse, there's a notice at the top of the file would you like me to read it to you? [13:12] Myrtti: can't it be done with scp, to avoid installing rsync (I want to copy them to a dozen clients...)? [13:12] Dr_Willis: hmm ? [13:13] zebastian, no its prety standard [13:13] leaf-sheep installing now [13:13] Zehava: I'm hoping we'll have to avoid configuring weird stuffs because generally that should work right away when you installed the flash plugin. [13:13] Zehava: Or it's just flash issue solely? [13:13] indus: if you scp whatever root@remotebox it wouls want the 'root' users password. not the admin users sudo password. Or am i missing somthing :) [13:13] I've had trouble with getting flash to work in FF in every install I've tried in the past 6 months [13:13] Aijse, if what i wrote there before appeared this time it means i did save it right? [13:13] zebastian: it should look like this Driver "vesa" dont forget the quotes around vesa [13:13] is there any command to start network manager? (not the applet) [13:13] be the same as 'ssh root@remotebox' wouldent it? [13:14] Dr_Willis: its correct, if that box haas a root user sure [13:14] I've tried 3 different distributions...I want to keep ubuntu so hopeing we can get it to work [13:14] What's the default? To have a root passwd or not? [13:14] alkisg: In Ubuntu, root does not have a password. [13:14] Dr_Willis: but iam a little flaky so get a second confirm on that [13:14] alkisg: The root account is disabled entirely by default. [13:14] alkisg: In other distros, it does. [13:14] Ugh [13:14] indus: IF it has a root user with a password you mean? i guess i will fire up the other ubuntu box and see. [13:14] this channel sucks [13:14] this channel sucks [13:14] this channel sucks [13:14] this channel sucks [13:14] this channel sucks [13:14] this channel sucks [13:14] So how can one use scp for my situation?

[13:14] leaf-sheep installing the vlc didn't help. I"m going through the instructions on the page you sent me now. [13:15] I have a problem with wifi on my laptop. I am running Ubuntu Hardy Heron on a Dell Latitude C610 with an Atheros AR2413 wifi card.

Can anybody please help me !!!!!!!!!!! [13:15] i remember the days of winamp [13:15] Dr_Willis: and maybe use tar for the attributes... Ugh, that will have to suffice :( [13:15] Zehava: Okay. Keep me updated. It *should* work right away. [13:15] i thought rekcya was spam [13:16] boom [13:16] SilentJonathan: There's plenty of different programs you can use. Rockbox, banshee... I use audacious which is similar to WinAmp. [13:16] leaf-sheep it use to in Fiesty [13:16] SilentJonathan: I used to use iTunes (for music) and Winamp (for unbreaking ID3 tags). Then I switched to foobar2000. Then I switched to Ubuntu and Banshee. [Then - Arch Linux and mpg123 on terminal] [13:16] SilentJonathan: Audacious (former xmms) is kinda Winamp-like, yeah [13:16] Zehava: What make/model?

The channel guidelines are at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines. Enjoy your stay! [13:47] leaf-sheep: I'm trying to get an complete encrypted Ubuntu install on my Eee 901. And I have 3 disks in there: /dev/sda (the 4 GB SSD), /dev/sdb (the 8 GB SSD) and /dev/sdc (an 8 GB SD card). /dev/sda and /dev/sdb are succesfully encrypted atm. /dev/mapper/sda2_crypt contains / and /dev/mapper/sdb1_crypt contains /usr. Now I'm trying to add a third encrypted partition, /dev/sdc1 (/dev/mappers/sdc1_crypt when it is opened) and it is going to [13:47] contain /home. [13:47] I put a new mount point in fstab, but the new partition does not show up in "places" menu. what should I do ? [13:47] leaf-sheep: Gonna pastebin my /etc/fstab now [13:47] Leaf-sheep. My intel graphic card is not indicated in hardware drivers [13:47] sabat: Late response: Look in Keyboard Shortcuts in .... Preferences.

[13:49] leaf-sheep: ah yes, /dev/sda1 is /boot, which is unencrypted (that is needed otherwise I can't boot ;) ) [13:51] Cybertinus: You updated the initramfs too? [13:51] is it normal that partitions specified in fstab don't show up in "Places" menu? [13:51] Cybertinus: Might want to make a backup first before you do that. ;o [13:51] leaf-sheep: no, I haven't updated the initramfs. How do I do that? [13:52] leaf-sheep: no need for backups, there is no important information on my Eee 901. It is a fairly clean install [13:53] Cybertinus: If you don't backup and something goes wrong, then you'll have to do a clean installation again because you can be caught in a endless "bad cryptsetup options; retry" loop [13:53] Cybertinus: It's fairly enough. [13:53] easy* === crt_ is now known as hetii [13:54] hi @all, is it possible to remove the flag "linux_raid_member" from a disk / partition. partition was in a raid1 array, now i want to use it without raid..

[13:57] I used mdadm to create a mirrored RAID array from 2 drives. Because mdadm isn't built into the kernal I was told that I have to issue the command sudo mdadm --add /dev/md0 /dev/sda5 /dev/sdb5" where sda5 and sdb5 are the 2 partitions I want mirrored. [13:57] how can I get teh ip of my computers in my house[without the obvious getting off my lazy ass and go look] that are running windows, and have active shares? like in my kitchen, I have a pc, named Kitchen[real original I know] and I want to connect to it's vnc, I have it installed, but no idea what it's ip is... [13:58] Cybertinus: There are easier way to pastebin if you're not aware. It's a package 'pastebinit' and to pastebinit, you do "cat file.txt | pastebinit" [13:58] hi! what is the linux-ports package? === wertik_rus_away is now known as werti_rus [13:58] I tried ping kitchen :D but that obviously failed [13:58] sabat: Try connecting to "Kitchen.local" [13:59] However when I run that command I get the error "mdadm: error opening /dev/md0: No such file or directory" [13:59] leaf-sheep: http://pastebin.ca/1565418 <-- my menu.lst [13:59] Sabat you have access to your router, many have client lists.

[13:59] MenZa: That requires having Avahi or Bonjour installed in both sides. [13:59] grawity: Good point. [14:00] Cybertinus: Looks good -- Except -- Place it under ##### END DEBIAN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST instead. [14:00] I'm trying to set up a single-partition LVM (for testing purposes) I've so far created the partition /dev/mmcblk0p1 with fdisk, set the type to Linux LVM, checked /etc/lvm/lvm.conf to see that filters are ok, ran "vgchange -a y" - but when I try to run "pvcreate /dev/mmcblk0p1" it doesn't find the device... is there some step I'm missing here? [14:00] smbclient -L kitchen told me alot, but not the ip of the computer [14:00] Hello, how do I enable usb2 support on ubuntu jaunty 9.04 amd64? [14:00] sabat: Did it tell you the hostname? [14:00] Cybertinus: Because you want to leave it out of magic (automatic) grub configuration. >_> [14:00] sabat: 'getent hosts [14:01] leaf-sheep: ok. Moved it to below that line [14:01] !netsplit [14:01] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [14:01] Cybertinus: Okay. Do sudo update-grub -- You didn't get prompted, right? [14:01] that didn't seem to do anything [14:02] I have about 12 pc's in my house... I really odn't want to have to walk to each one to get the ip's. [14:02] leaf-sheep: ok, I've run that command. It didn't prompt me for anything, I just got my bashprompt back after it did a few things (like finding a few kernels) [14:03] Cybertinus: Good. Now, if you didn't place it under the AUTOMATIC KERNEL LIST, you'd get prompted. ;) [14:03] Now we're going to update the init [14:03] ya, nothing seems to be doing this yet. [14:03] is it possible to reinstall the MBR on a mounted partition (i don't have a live-cd)? [14:03] leaf-sheep: ok, then I placed it a the correct spot :) [14:03] Cybertinus: Do "sudo update-initramfs -u all" [14:03] I keep trying variations of those commands, but nothing is telling me the ip [14:03] leaf-sheep: ok, running it now [14:03] leaf-sheep every darn tutorial or fix I can find says to edit the firefoxrc file and I don't have one heh [14:03] and my router doens't tell me a client list, because I don't run dhcp. they're static set ip's. [14:04] Cybertinus: When you're done, pray and reboot. [14:04] Zehava: Create a new one. [14:04] what do I put in it? [14:04] I know all of the computers windows share names, but I don't know the individual computer ip's [14:04] just this one line? [14:04] Zehava: Yes. Even just one line. [14:04] okie I'll give it a shot [14:04] sabat: 'ping hostname' might work? [14:04] nope [14:04] leaf-sheep: ok. It created a new /boot/initrd.img-2.6.28-15-generic file, so it looks like it is updated. Gonna reboot my Eee now (I'm IRCing on my big, normal laptop, so I'll stay online ;) ) [14:05] That was first and most obvious thing I tried [14:05] hi to all =) [14:06] And if nothing works, there's still the nmap -sP 192.168.0.1-255 way. [14:06] Sabat ^this [14:06] aha [14:06] nmblookup kitchen [14:06] found it [14:07] Cybertinus: I wonder if you did uncomment out the fstab part? === ikey is now known as jfreak [14:07] sabat: does kettle.kitchen and fridge.kitchen work also ? [14:07] leaf-sheep I created it. No help as of yet [14:08] anyone knows what I should do to get my storage partition to show up in "places" menu? it's mounted automatically on boot but the only way to access it is by browsing to it from / [14:08] leaf-sheep: it stayed commented. Shall I create a new initrd file with that line uncommented? [14:08] leaf-sheep: I did go offline because the IRC client on my laptop chrashed :p. It wasn't my plan to go offline ;) [14:08] Cybertinus: Probably. The bootup didn't work? === arianit_ is now known as arianit [14:08] Cybertinus: Lies. :) [14:10] leaf-sheep: it booted fine, only /dev/sdc1 didn't get opened automatically :( [14:10] is there a tool out there that allows me to block certain sites on my computer in certain hours ? [14:10] awesome, I added them to my hosts file, and now I can use ping kitchen just like I used to [14:11] dassouki: Most home routers should have that feature. [14:11] I was able to get it to show up in 'places'. it's not the solution i was looking for. it turns out that the mount point has to be in /media [14:11] leaf-sheep: rebooting again [14:12] leaf-sheep: i'm not at home, i want to block my pc from certain news site in the morning. [14:12] can i use settings for graphic card for ubuntu 9.04, but i have installed 8.04 [14:13] dassouki: Can you access your computer via ssh? === jfreak is now known as ikey [14:13] where do mail from mailutils check the mail? is it user@computername ? how can i sent externally to it? [14:13] leaf-sheep: it didn't work. I had /dev/sdc1 opened, and I had the /etc/fstab line uncommented, but it still didn't automatically opened and mounted /dev/sdc1 :( [14:14] leaf-sheep: i'm working and i get distracted by some news sites. so i'm wondering if i can block myself from them [14:16] dassouki: I'm certainly there are Firefox Addon to block the sites. Even Firefox Security should have the option. [14:16] Cybertinus: I'll paste you my fstab + cryptsetup so you can see how it should looks like. [14:16] leaf-sheep: ok, thnx :) [14:16] leaf-sheep well, I don't have sound in my mp3 player either.... [14:17] leaf-sheep: on what kind of computer do you use this setup? Also on a Eee 901? [14:17] Hi [14:17] I'm running Ubuntu besides XP and Vista. I haven't carefully calculated the size of the partitions. Therefore I'm stuck with a partition that's far too small. I therefore would like to resize my entire Harddisk. Say, more size to the Vista partition, and less size to a NTFS partition on which data is stored. How is that to be done the best way possible? [14:17] Zehava: Err so it wasn't just a flash issue? [14:17] Cybertinus: No. I use it as a home theater PC. [14:17] leaf-sheep: ok [14:17] leaf-sheep I guess not. I have system sounds, but not mp3 player or flash at the moment, not sure what else to test it with [14:18] Isomeone knowing well gsopcast [14:18] ? [14:18] hi all. I've just installed w32codecs to be able to play some wma files, and I still get no sound. I'm trying to play them with vlc, using ubuntu 9.04.

[14:31] that is exactly what I was afraid of Dr_Willis [14:31] whois supperball [14:31] Dr_Willis, I just tried it but I don't see where it enables/disbles compiz [14:31] Cybertinus: Then... do "sudo update-initramfs -u all" --> Try. :< [14:31] http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/ bostik__ this is pretty good free pdf [14:31] hello [14:31] ratapoil: you tell it to use metacity as the window manager [14:31] oh [14:31] lol [14:31] hello aaron [14:31] xD [14:32] speedball: i thought u were supper ball [14:32] cool I will check it out, thank you [14:32] leaf-sheep: ok, gonna try that. I found that directory myself just now. I'm booting a initrd now with only usb_storage added in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules [14:32] xD [14:32] im running deluge web UI, is there a way to make it download all torrents only for couple of hours (I dont want to shut deluge down at all) thanks for any help [14:32] Cybertinus: Won't work unless you're using USB. :) [14:32] i posted a thread about my issue on the forums a week or so ago and haven't gotten any reply back yet, bumped it with new info this morning: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7946840#post7946840 [14:33] leaf-sheep: I thought the SD-reader was connected to an USB port internally, but I'm not sure :) [14:33] it is getting quite frustrating since I can't seem to figure out whats wrong, though I'm sure its something absolutely silly [14:33] I'm experiencing annoying intermitent freezes in openoffice that don't happen with any other app. what could I look for? I did searches on the web, found nothing about this problem [14:33] Cybertinus: Comment out the "modprobe" part. [14:34] Because it's a command -- I don't think that's necessary. Only list the module names. [14:34] leaf-sheep: yeah, I didn't add the "modprobe" part. There where a few examples in that file and they didn't have that part included ;) [14:34] zen__: is it the type of freeze where the screen stays the same? Everything just gets locked in time? [14:34] leaf-sheep: and /dev/mapper/sdc1_crypt exists now, only with usb_storage added to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules. Gonna uncomment the last line in /etc/fstab again :) [14:35] randy [14:35] Cybertinus: Add all modules, not just usb_storage [14:35] nrstott: yes as far as I know. It was suggested by a friend to see if it was X freezing, but I haven't had a chance to try it yet [14:35] nrstott: is that what you're getting at? [14:35] who handles gsopcast? [14:35] zen__: what I was getting at is that's often a characteristic of a video card gone bad or overheating [14:36] nrstott: hm ok... brand new laptop (beginning of the summer) and it runs games in windows flawlessly [14:36] zen__: if it is more likely to happen after your screensaver has been running as your thread states, I'd think that's a possibility [14:36] zen__: is it a dell xps 13? [14:36] nrstott: interestingly, the screensaver only started working a day ago and I've had freezes all summer [14:36] nrstott: nope! Asus [14:37] ah, there's a problem with wifi in some dells. the atheros 1515 [14:37] if your asus has that too, then that may be causing you some probs [14:37] bostik__, you should check out the guide [14:37] but i don't know if asus uses atheros [14:38] leaf-sheep: it works now perfectly (my /home on my encrypted /dev/sdc1 gets mounted automatically during boot. That was what I was trying to accomplish). Without adding the additional modules. What would be a good reason to add them now? [14:38] Cybertinus: All modules or just usb_storage? ._. [14:39] nrstott: there is an atheros in here too.. i tried installing gentoo and it wouldn't pick up wifi, I had to go the ubuntu for gentoo route and use sabayon to get wireless in a gentoo similar environment [14:39] nrstott: it does, i have one in here [14:39] nrstott: so would it cause intermittent freezing regardless of if the wireless is trying to connect? I get issues with it even after it sits, connected for quite some time [14:39] zen__: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [14:39] leaf-sheep: just usb_storage [14:39] Cybertinus: To include them so you can create a new initrd. [14:39] Cybertinus: The initial ramdisk, or initrd is a temporary file system commonly used in the boot process of the Linux kernel. It is typically used for making preparations before the real root file system can be mounted. [14:39] zen__>Sounds like a hardware problem to me as well. Has windoze EVER locked up or given you any anomalies with this machine? === janne is now known as Skiessi [14:40] leaf-sheep: yeah, I know that. But why would I want to put in drivers inthere which I don't need to boot? :) [14:40] Cybertinus: Read more so you can learn more --> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Initrd " [14:40] hi, there anyone know where is the web page of rapishare where I can find plenty link for download movies?

I have them both configured in /etc/network/interfaces and that NIC is not set to auto in that file, I can ifup eth1, but ifdown doesn't seem to do anything [14:41] Sidewinder1: not that I can remember. It runs everything just fine. An issue I did have when trying to get a native supported linux game (and windows game) to run in ubuntu, I couldn't get the correct video drivers for my card, but the game worked without the need for tweaking in windows. [14:41] group thedancingdeer [14:41] i'm sorry === aksci_ is now known as thedancingdeer [14:42] Cybertinus: Mainly because usb_storage aren't included by default (since 93% of the users do not actively use them) during the initrd phrase === am4zin is now known as amazin [14:42] Cybertinus: But that's just a number I'm throwing... by the way.

[14:43] bostik__, the pdf is indeed free and legal; you may buy a copy as well (another good one by the same author is 'Ubuntu Kung Fu') [14:43] Sidewinder1: I know! In windows I did have freezing problems inside of WoW, but I think that was specifically issues with the game itself. This laptop has been a handful. Doesn't Atheros have specified drivers in linux? I heard from someone I think that Atheros was made for linux [14:44] I am running gos which is based on intrepid, i accidentally deleted the libgcrypt11 in terminal now i can't enter the system anymore [14:44] hi [14:44] is there any channels for hackers???

Thnx a lot for you're help [14:44] konza: only for the kind of hacker who only uses one question mark at the end of questions [14:45] leaf-sheep: it is working now the way I want because of you :) [14:45] konza: Define "hacker". [14:45] leaf-sheep in audacious the equalizer bars go up and down like sound is playing...but nothing from speakers [14:45] Zehava: Err. Sorry. I have to go.

[15:29] switchgirl[H], err live usb [15:30] the hard drives are shown as "/dev/sda" and "/dev/sdb" but it should actually be just ONE hard drive [15:30] Does anyone here knows how to run an .lnk file in Ubuntu with WinE? [15:30] KeyboardsareAwes: .lnk is a shortcut right? Just open it and read it in a text file [15:30] k I have an sd card [15:30] I'll try that [15:30] I want to replicate the [ OK ] and [ FAIL ] messages that you get at startup when you don't have a splash screen in the C++ console.

[15:32] When the volume is corrupt... does that mean i've totally screwed it? [15:33] hm, somehow ubuntu 9.04 has a problem with my nvidia graphic cards? [15:33] I'm using UNR. how do i switch desktop mode via command line? [15:33] Sidewinder1: there are no partitions on these hard drives [15:33] i'd tested the 71, 96, 173 and 180 nvidia driver, but he just won't detect the cards in a proper way [15:34] kiru>Oh, OK RAID, sorry... [15:34] before my reinstall (from an upgraded 7.10->8.04->8.10->9.04 enviorment) it worked without any problem with the 173 driver. [15:35] is there anyway to set the default desktop mode in ubuntu (UNR)? [15:35] * genii ponders "default desktop mode" [15:36] genii: IIRC, the Netbook Remix has a different desktop. [15:36] genii: I'm using the Ubuntu desktop remix and installed xubuntu-desktop on that. but the UNR dashboard still shows up on xubuntu. i just want to close that and see the normal xubuntu desktop [15:36] Did everyone miss my question? :( [15:36] Xpire: No, they just don't know how to answer it. [15:36] grawity: Ah, now it makes some sense [15:37] what is the most reliable and efficient internet connectivity method? [15:37] hello all, i was wondering if anyone knows how to change the post login image in Ubuntu. My friend here has installed a the polish edition of ubuntu, and we would like to change the image that shows after the auto-login is done and while the desktop loads. [15:37] Xpire>I didn't, just don't have a definitive answer for you...

[15:37] :'( [15:37] genii: i know it cant be wireless . cant you be more specific? dsl ? dedicated link? cable? [15:38] Xpire>I think so but am not certain. [15:38] boiinngboiing: SDSL (Synchronous DSL) is the most reliable in my experience. Then ADSL then whatever comes after [15:38] The thing is, after this problem occured, I tried installed Windows 7 again, it worked fine. Then when I tried to restore grub, the same problem occured, so the HDD might be still OK... [15:38] installing* [15:39] Xpire>If you reinstall win, that'll bork GRUB, again. :-( [15:39] genii: arent dedicated connections like T1 less reliable than dsl? [15:39] Sidewinder1> That's exactly what happened :( [15:39] anyone know where default GDM splash image is set? [15:39] Did you have irreplaceable data on the win partition? [15:40] genii: i meant to ask are they less reliable than dsl? [15:40] boiinngboiing: T1 is around 1.55Mb which isn't that fast really. But if it's an optical T1 (fibre and not copper) then it's reliable [15:40] Within GParted, there's a warning on my windows partitions, saying "Unable to read the contents of this file system!" [15:40] boiinngboiing: T1/T3 etc are generally guaranteed-speed connections [15:41] Xpire>That's strange. [15:41] is there anyway to turn off the ubuntu netbook remix dashboard? [15:41] Are my Windows partitions meant to have a 'boot' tag on it? Only my Ubuntu one does. [15:41] this was a question asked to me in class today .. i did my research and came up with Dedicated links [15:42] I know I;m not being much help and I apopogize for not being more knowlegable. [15:42] can you give specific reasons why dsl or cable will not be as reliable as a dedicated link on fibre? [15:42] supper [15:42] supperball [15:42] boiinngboiing: I could but why should i do your homework for you? [15:43] hello [15:43] Xpire>If you don't mind, maybe someone else can assist you better than I...:-( [15:43] speedball3: lol [15:43] xD [15:43] Simple question this time :) - How do I stop my computer from starting up with GRUB and automatically going to Windows? Can I do that by just putting boot tags on my Windows partition? [15:43] Xpire, shouldnt matter, only the grub partition shouldnee boot flag? [15:43] i think [15:43] genii: its not a homework .. the teacher asked me just like that.. i did my research and now came to irc to be sure if i am right [15:43] Sidewinder1: It's OK :) No one else seems to know the answer to my question :( [15:43] you want it to go to windows automatically? [15:44] Yeah. [15:44] Xpire>It takes longer but you could always post at http://ubuntuforums.org [15:44] I'm thinking, if Windows works fine, maybe I can reinstall Ubuntu after everything, then GRUB will take over and it should all be better? [15:44] in grub, set time to 1 second, and default windows? or not good enought...alternatively...reinstall windows boot manager, but you need a different channel for that [15:44] how can I install grub from live cd? ( I don't want to recover it, I want to install a new grub) [15:44] Xpire>Sounds like a good plan to me. [15:45] inter: Sorry, I meant for the system to bypass GRUB completely and just go straight into the Windows loader [15:45] genii: can i ask you specific questions related to the topic?

( I don't want to recover it, I want to install a new grub) [15:46] Does anyone know whether I should be putting my boot flags to the 100MB Windows 7 or the normal Win7 one?? [15:47] boiinngboiing: You'd probably find that #ubuntu-server or #ubuntu-offtopic is a better channel for this sort of discussion, since it's not any kind of support questions you're asking [15:48] xpire you would need to install windows boot manager, onl way i know is to reinstall windows, i am sure there is another way [15:48] try a windows rescure livecd? [15:48] im now in ubuntu-offtopic land [15:49] how do i check memory used by my code? like the way i can see the time needed to execute it using 'time ./a.out' [15:49] how can I install grub from live cd?

[16:09] uhu [16:09] genii: okay. that makes sense. and, that suggestion implies that it's a real bug, as opposed to me doing something stupid or missing an easy work-around [16:10] do i need to post it here or on a private conversation ?

I'm at the grub prompt now [16:34] jrib: all you have to do to delete the icons is right click on applications then edit menus then uncheck which icons you want gone [16:34] hello [16:34] RippleEffect: true, that hides them but does not delete those files [16:35] jrib: yea i already uninstalled them i just wanted the annoying icons gone [16:35] hahaha [16:35] yep jrib, i'd like to know that sollution too :) [16:35] i have problem with my ethernet connection... i just installed ubuntu and i don't have the icon on the task bar... instead, i have the one of the WIFI and when i plug the cable it's still the same... any idea?. [16:35] <[A]KangB> hi everyone [16:36] bro_: solution for? [16:36] Nicd^, boot again from ubuntu cd/dvd and in the partition setup change the boot flag where you have installed ubuntu [16:36] jrib, to remove wine entries after uninstalling those programs [16:37] @Nicd^: also make sure you are pointing to the correct hard drive & partition. [16:37] bro_: RippleEffect suggested just right clicking on the ubuntu icon and then clicking "edit menu" to hide them. If you want to delete the actual files, the command « find ~/.{local,config} -iname '*wine*' » should find them [16:37] where can i check the material to see if my ethernet card is activated? [16:38] how find disk size [16:38] RoboJoint: I found out that it's hd0,0 by using the command here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351 [16:38] yoshpapillon: run ifconfig, so you should see your activated interfaces [16:38] NakidGirl_With_I: df -h is probably what you want [16:38] jrib, i know, everybody says just delete the installation folders, or uninstall via wine and remove entries from menu, but those entries are still there, hidden in the menu, not actually removed [16:38] no no disk size, c [16:38] c: d: e: [16:38] bro_: so see my second sentence :) [16:39] kevdog, jrib: From WP, X display manager article: "When the display manager runs on the user's computer, it starts the X server before presenting the user the login screen, optionally repeating when the user logs out. In this condition, the display manager realizes in the X Window System the functionality of init, getty and login on character-mode terminals." [16:39] kevdog, jrib: That's what I'd like to do [16:39] jrib, ok, saw now :) [16:39] NakidGirl_With_I: ubuntu doesn't call partitions c: etc.... The command I gave you will show you the size of the partitions on your disk. If you want the size of the actual disk try sudo fdisk -l [16:39] bro_: you can also delete from the edit menus menu [16:39] in IE or in notepad [16:40] ok [16:40] facugaich: erm, what? [16:40] I have found a workaround in order to get the ability to create a network === allandrc is now known as wers [16:40] jrib: Have the display manager run locally [16:40] but how do find the settings so i can put it in the /etc/network/interface ? [16:41] Hello guys. Do you know of any issues with the MTP support in Ubuntu right now? Cuz mine is all broken. 1st I thought that is from the kernel libs, so I update to 2.6.30 but it`s the same story all over again :( [16:41] NakidGirl_With_I, just mount your partition, go to my computer. right click the drives and check the property [16:41] facugaich: that's what vnc is for. Usually over ssh people just run programs. Maybe you want to run the xnest program [16:41] facugaich: There is a mix up in terms you might be thinking -- so bear with me -- the X server actually runs on the local machine and the remote computer is the X client -- however lets say you are running an app locally, the app CPU time will actually be on the remote computer. Yes the only thing you need setup on the remote computer is the ability to ssh with -X parameter [16:41] Hi. Is there any command-line non-interactive program to measure my internet connection speed? [16:41] heh I can mount a ride , how I mount a disk [16:42] NakidGirl_With_I: what?

If I cp or rsync to an smbfs mount the file modification time is when it was copied (even with the -t rsync switch). This, of course, forces rsync to resync everything. If I use --size I can not copy the changes from my preallocated VM images and if I use -c I need to download the whole file to do the checksum.

[17:42] Does anyone here do network installs? I am having a prob doing them where Ubuntu is not able to write a temp file for the dhcp client on the system being installed. I have to manually assign an IP on network installs right now on the console. I read the how-tos and none seem to have this issue. [17:43] NakidGirl_With_I, they do take space.

Have you done an update recently? [17:44] digilord yes just few mins ago [17:44] NakidGirl_With_I, is that a solution or just a guess? [17:44] mine is 80 GB, but it doesn't matter. The point is there are useless folders there, and they don't go away. i'm gonna delete them [17:45] revygttam: NP XP is a PITA. I only have it for testing IE against our app. [17:45] Disable resume? What kind of suggestion is this, NakidGirl_With_I ? [17:45] Solution , ( experience ) [17:45] aaron11: Were there a lot of items in the update list? [17:45] if you effed up after that, please let us know :) [17:45] digilord on my cousins account i disabled her 3d exaleration so i went to system--administrator--users and groups [17:46] NakidGirl_With_I, given that the problem must have been there since the existance of Hibernation and resume, it appears very unlikely that EXACTLY THE NEXT KERNEL is going to fix it, if you know what I mean... An update is hardly always the solution to a technical problem. [17:46] NakidGirl_With_I, plus, what do you mean "disable resume"? [17:46] aaron11: 3D accelleration is not a per account setting. It's system wide as far as I remember. [17:46] NakidGirl_With_I, have you taken a look into the thread? [17:46] digilord i unlocked the admin account (mine) and went to her properties and checked 3d exaleration then ok [17:46] ello i have just installed iText through the Synaptic Package Manager and I can't find it in my quickstart, what did i do wrong?

[17:48] CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND disable this in kernel or play with udev script , if you dont want to put new kernel [17:48] aaron11: If I disable something and my desktop breaks I set it back and then do some research on that setting in Google. [17:48] NakidGirl_With_I, it's close to, but it's not a very solution [17:48] There must be a way of fixing it - not evading it, wouldn't you agree? === tomas_ is now known as tomplast [17:49] https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/85488 MANDAY [17:49] okok [17:50] digilord i wanted to turn it on and tried it and i logged out of her account and logged back in then it showd an error gmd cannot write onto your home folder or somthing now each time i get on my account which is not logged out it shows up that same mesage manny times [17:50] NakidGirl_With_I, I don't see what exactly this last link you posted has to do with my problem [17:50] sorry [17:50] I agree that disabling USB SUSPEND sounds plausible, but that bug you posted is not related to my problem where the kernel freezes in [17:51] You usb device goes in sleep mode and then resume fails and you come to where you are [17:51] I just replaced a file , can it be brought back ? [17:51] aaron11: Can you login as anyone and not get an error?

Help please? I dont know if it is even setup right. I installed wine and copied the folder over from Vista pc and added it to the wine configure window. To start it, I go to the folder where it is at and right click on exe file to open in wine loader. Right or wrong?? [17:52] NakidGirl_With_I, my USB device resumes just fine, the problem is with the kernel. please read my thread [17:52] digilord i only have 2 accounts hers and mine [17:52] digilord please be here they are calling me for dinner [17:52] brb [17:53] then add "acpi=off" in grub [17:53] hey [17:53] ManDay, I have an issue where the usb mouse is slow and has jagged movements when I return from hibernation, unplugging it a plugging it back in fixes it. Same with pcmcia nic. An old laptop. [17:53] how do I make a command run in the terminal at start-up? [17:53] KDE [17:53] rhlin99: Windows apps don't often work that way. With registry settings and DLLs all over the drive it's nearly impossible to make a fold copied app work. Best way would be to install it. [17:54] mkfs /dev/sda5 ( will loose data on sda5 ) [17:54] durt acknowledged, but again, that's not my kind of problem! [17:54] digilord: how do I install Teamviewer for windows in linux? [17:54] how do i use iperf to measure my download speed? [17:54] my problem is not the device - it works just perfectly after coming up. its the kernel that freezes [17:54] why does my firewall keep starting? i have firestarter running and suddenly its just on. when i connect to my vpn connection with KVpnc the firewall starts [17:54] Its same .. [17:54] rhlin99: Insert the CD in Linux then from wine start the installer [17:54] Hello. I've set caps lock as second ctrl from system -> settings -> keyboard and so forth, but it only takes effect after i log out and in again. On first, automatic login at boot its disabled [17:55] yes I know [17:55] wats is the equivanlent of download accelerator on ubuntu 904? [17:55] and the caps lock led is being toggled even after [17:55] NakidGirl_With_I, in how far would you call this "the same"? It's totally different apart from the fact that it both has to do with USB suspension [17:55] Guys slow down , I cant help every soul here [17:55] how do you perform an automatic sudo command on user login? to make my bluetooth work properly i must do a 'sudo hciconfig hci0 reset' on every login [17:55] digilord: It isn't on a cd, just downloaded a setup exe file from the web. [17:55] rhlin99: wine filename.exe, then. [17:56] rhlin99: Copy the EXE to Linux and do what MenZa said ;) [17:56] Yelp displays a document's contents on my screen. How can I determine the filename of this document? [17:56] My boy friend is try to arouse me :) [17:57] eoww .. not there .. [17:57] I am having a prob doing network boot installs where Ubuntu is not able to write a temp file for the dhcp client on the system being installed. [17:57] NakidGirl_With_I: your moms gonna confiscate your keyboard if she peeks over your shoulder [17:57] NakidGirl_With_I: Not here, please. [17:57] NakidGirl_With_I, acpi=off didn't change anything. [17:57] You have to reboot .. [17:57] I don't think so, but well [17:57] I am using a Ubuntu based distro and jsut wondering, when I plug in say a flash card and it automounts it, what is handling that? Is it udev? [17:58] hibernation technically IS a reboot [17:58] but as you wish [17:58] eg kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-14-server root=UU acpi=off , , save and reboot and choose this kernel [17:58] in other way how to desinstall debian from /dev/sda5 [17:58] NakidGirl_With_I, why would you assume that I'D have to reboot? [17:59] Hibernation goes through the normal boot process, NakidGirl_With_I [17:59] I am not assuming Manay [17:59] how do i use iperf to measure my download speed? [17:59] ManDay: If you are to run a kernel with different flags, you'd need to reload the kernel, i.e. reboot. [17:59] No reboot is n ot same as restart [17:59] anyone? [17:59] MenZa, hibernation too reloads the kernel [17:59] thats why im objecting [17:59] cyrus_mc: I believe it's udev [17:59] Manday Stop arguing ... [18:00] Ok [18:00] NakidGirl_With_I, with acpi=off Suspension-to-Ram has gone [18:00] Its aching out there :) [18:00] That's not acceptable. [18:00] Manday that is correct [18:00] NakidGirl_With_I, nothing works anymore. [18:00] I can't hibernate either [18:00] That is why I told put latest kernel [18:01] NakidGirl_With_I, I'm sorry but you are not really adressing my actual problem. [18:01] 2.6.31 [18:01] how do i use iperf to measure my download speed? [18:01] When ubuntu boots in the x.org failsafe mode does it load a different kernel? [18:01] or tweak udev script [18:01] Thanks but I need different kind of help [18:01] HI all, i want to create a shortcut that cd to a directorty then executes a command, what to type? [18:01] my mouse doesnt work either after acpi=off [18:01] haytham-med: What do you mean, exactly? [18:01] ManDay: resuming from hibernate uses a kernel to reolad the previous running kernel. If you, for example, hibernate 2.6.29 kernel and boot a 2.6.30 kernel, after the un-hibernate, you'll be running the 2.6.29 kernel again [18:01] Threetimes> iperf is generic not relate to ubunu only [18:01] haytham-med: alias cdtomydir='cd /to/my/dir' [18:02] Thanks for clarification stew. Sorry NakidGirl_With_I for doubting [18:02] I recently set up a printserver so I can send print jobs from my Ubuntu machines as well as XP machines. My problem is: when I send a print job from my Ubuntu laptop, it prints, but then the job continues to sit in the print queue and prevents subsequent jobs from being printed unless I flush it first.

In the end, user tom who belong to kids group can still not cd to the folder. Any idea why? [18:03] Myrtti NakidGirl_With_I tell her to change her nick [18:03] digilord, MenZa: It installed okay and put icon on desktop in linux but when I double click on it, nothing seems to happen. What am I missing? [18:03] haytham-med: I don't do a lot of GUI scripting. Sorry. I do a lot of CLI stuff. [18:03] I accidentaly hit 'delete' instead of 'enter' (I blame small buttons on my keyboard), while browsing files with gksudo nautilus, not the non-sudo filebrowsing mode... when I mouseover the trash ban, I get the message "1 item in trash", but when I open it, it says there's nothing there... is there any hope to quickly and easily recover the directory I deleted?

[18:05] if that fails try " umount -l /dev/$name " , then wait for few secs [18:05] aaron11: That would be my next step yes [18:05] then you have something is open in that path [18:05] digilord hope me the best [18:06] NakidGirl_With_I, its fine now [18:06] rachid: you don't need to "deinstall" to install something over it... unless you already have something else installed, and want to free the partition for other use [18:06] NakidGirl_With_I, i was checking that but i couldn't find anyplace === DJones_ is now known as DJones [18:06] Guys, again I implore anyone who has got a slight clue of hardware and USB to take a look at my problem, described here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1266263 [18:06] cantoma> can you try with lsof , it will tell you what is open [18:06] cantoma: If you are sitting in the dir then you won't be able to unmount it [18:07] Platypus-Man: look in ~/.local/share/Trash/files press ctrl+h to show hidden files. is it in there?

When I suspend to ram, it locks up with a black screen on the 2nd resume attempt [18:07] NakidGirl_With_I, it created a new /dev/ and now i have to change my fstab to match the new one .. otherwise only root can mount [18:08] I have it installed and it shows up under Applications but when I click on it, nothing happens!

I don't know how to test for that [18:18] {g}: display from imagemagick or whatever, there's a bunch of options [18:18] NakidGirl_With_I: I just need to automate some speedtest. I know some wonderful http and ftp mirrors close to me, but I just can't automate this... [18:18] Platypus-Man: ok well if you have another hard drive click on it. it will have its own Trash folders also [18:18] cantoma: Ok just stuck the stick in a port, noted the dev, removed, noted the dev. The same dev was used. [18:19] cantoma: Lemme test changing ports the device goes into. [18:19] digilord, I have a backup one always connected that occupies sdb1 .. if you plug another dmesg gives you sdc1 .. if you plug another it gives sdd1 ... What i am trying to say is that --> Why i cannot use sdc1 again ????

[18:20] {g}: don't laugh, but you know what might do what you want: pornview [18:20] like, in flash when i press a button a sound is supposed to play, but it doesnt play till a second or two later [18:20] is there a ubuntu equivilant to #debianlive ? [18:20] Platypus-Man: do you have another hard drive besides the primary drive that ubuntu is installed on? [18:20] So I just switched from a Wubi install of Ubuntu, to a full dual boot setup. It seems to have become less stable. Is this in my head? And I soon will be upgrading from Vista to XP, so should I go back to the Wubi setup? Is there any reason not to? [18:20] NakidGirl_With_I: Can I abort curl after ie 3 seconds? Can curl give me the average speed out of those 3 seconds?

Can Drupal or Alfresco do this? [18:22] in the linux-image-2.6.28-14-generic description it says this is the kernel for x86/x86_64. can i switch my kernel to 64-bit mode even though i installed ubuntu in 32-bit mode originally? [18:22] jrib: i'm quite stupid. Thanks for this brilliant insight! [18:22] Platypus-Man: if you click on the internal while in nautilus you should see some Trash folders. perhaps more than one [18:22] cantoma: Not sure why you are still showing the deivce as in use. I just tested with 2 USB sticks and got the same dev name each time. [18:23] speedmccoy: FTP is FTP, HTTP is HTTP -- what exactly do you need? managing a bunch of files over the web? [18:23] digilord, yes but both of them are ok if you can umount them [18:23] rca: Need a system that will allow a user to log in and only see a list of files to download. Or they could upload too. === syntax is now known as Guest95671 [18:24] /join #5,0! [18:24] legend2440: holy cow, there it is :D how the hell did I miss that before? [18:24] /join #5,0 [18:24] rca: multiple users [18:24] <{g}> jrib: trying some other viewers first... [18:24] digilord, if you want to reproduce it try to umount with one console in directory .. use option -l in umount .. check if your /dev goes aways as well?? [18:24] skwara96: or rather, don't. [18:24] speedmccoy: there used to be a bunch of simple web-based file managers that did that, though i don't know about their security [18:24] speedmccoy: WebExplorer was one, i think. let me google [18:24] http://testmy.net/speedtest/download_speedtest.php [18:25] Hi. I am having some problems with my ubuntu when booting. I get a press CTRL+D thing to start a emergency term or so [18:25] legend2440: to restore the files, I just move them out of .Trash-0 ? [18:25] question: I have a package installed and I want to know which package it is a dependency of (not which packaged depend on it). How can I get this info? [18:25] speedmccoy: bah, it has a lot of security issues. better not use that one. i'll try to find another one [18:25] speedmccoy: good search terms might be "web file manager" or "php file manager" or some such combination, i know i found a few on sourceforge that way [18:25] Platypus-Man: yes. do you know where its supposed to go? [18:25] hi, please 1 question: what's the difference between startx and serve gdm restart ? [18:26] obiwan_: startx starts the X server. gdm is the desktop manager. [18:26] I'm getting an invalid superblock issue with my raid array: http://pastebin.com/ma21c80 .The array isn't a new one, i need to recover from this somehow [18:26] startx does not need gdm runnibg [18:26] {g}: feh's man page claims to do this [18:26] rca: I'm looking at Filezilla server right now. Not sure if it allows Web access. [18:27] is there a Kmail channel? [18:27] legend2440: what do you mean "ehre it's supposed to go"? [18:27] rca: I'll try your idea too. Thanks for the direction. [18:27] *where [18:27] {g}: (and works) I just confirmed [18:27] speedmccoy: that's just an FTP server too, i guess. then you could also just set up FTP. or webdav :) [18:27] does not need? but i thought they are all in one (gdm runs always with X) [18:27] speedmccoy: i found a few ajax-based file managers that way. sourceforge is slow right now or i'd research some more [18:27] calwig: Most likely on whatever-network-KDE-is-on. I think they run their own. Your best bet here is probably #kubuntu or ##kde [18:27] Hi, im new to ubuntu. When i make w new folder in Music i have to go out from the folder and in again before i can see it... anyone now how i can fix this? [18:28] Hi. I am having some problems with my ubuntu when booting. I get a press CTRL+D thing to start a emergency term or so [18:28] Platypus-Man: depending on what file it is some files belong in certain folders like /etc or /home [18:28] MenZa: thank you my friend [18:28] obiwan, gdm starts under root, to allow login, startx starts Xorg under the user. [18:28] gostoff: that shouldn't be necessary, it should update automatically. does doing "refresh" on that folder also solve the problem? [18:28] gostoff: F5 [18:28] i'm looking for a way to restart the screen graphics, because when i'm in console mode, and ctrl+alt+f7, my screen turns crazy , i need to restart graphics. I want to do it the terminal way, not keystrokes [18:28] legend2440: it was just some videofiles [18:28] obiwan_: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [18:29] when i reload i can see the folder [18:29] obiwan_: that kills all programs running in your X session though [18:29] i don't want that [18:29] obiwan_: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [18:29] i just want to restart graphics [18:29] Platypus-Man: oh ok then just right click and cut /paste [18:29] I do fdisk /dev/sda5 then I see this : can not open /dev/sda5 [18:29] <{g}> jrib: what is feh? [18:29] not programs [18:29] when i make a new folder in pictures i can see it directly [18:29] !info feh | {g} [18:29] {g}: feh (source: feh): imlib2 based image viewer.

[18:30] obiwan_: I think this is not possible [18:30] <{g}> jrib: ok, installing that one too. is there any downside of installing lots of apps? [18:30] obiwan_: chvt 7 would switch you to the terminal your X is running in, too. but i don't think that would solve the problem [18:30] {g}: space on your hard drive [18:30] gostoff: do you have a LOT of music? [18:30] <{g}> jrib: hmm.. feh is purely command line? [18:30] {g}: yeah [18:31] PenStand: i have maybe 200 folders [18:31] {g}: well it shows you the image obviously and then has some keybindings [18:31] gostoff: what about the size? [18:31] they work , i get graphics again, but my screen goes crazy.

[18:32] i want to retart simply the x window system [18:32] i think the wrong program is x , if i restart it i think everything'll be right [18:32] gostoff: I think this is the issue. It might be a bug in nautilus that can't stand all this music [18:32] Every time I install a new Ubuntu (even 9.04) there are quite a few updates. Is there anyway I can download the updates onto say a USB disk and then ask apt to get the packages from the USB disk? [18:32] So that I can reuse the USB disk for every new Ubuntu install?

[18:32] gostoff: try to move some music to another folder and try again to create a new folder to see if my point is correct [18:32] speedmccoy: no prob :) [18:33] PenStand: okay [18:33] ok, NakidGirl_With_I , and to start again? startx? [18:33] that will kill x, to start it do i type startx? [18:33] gostoff: leave only 5GB of music in Music folder [18:33] obiwan Yes [18:33] Can the ubuntu live cd instaler resize ntfs partitions? [18:33] ok gona try brb [18:34] conb123: yeah but you need to install GParted [18:34] I'm getting an invalid superblock issue with my raid array: http://pastebin.com/ma21c80.

[18:34] #remote-exploit [18:34] conb123: yeah but then you'll have to install Ubuntu again [18:35] PenStand: I moved all but 5 gb to another folder, but i still have to reload before i see the new folder [18:35] Guest53294: you have a ubuntu-related support-question? [18:35] conb123: the partitioning only works if you proceeds with the installation [18:36] gostoff: well how about moving the rest of the folders and then remove the empty Music folder, then create a new Music folder ;) === Spami|Thug_ is now known as Spami|Thug [18:36] I use AWN and I get very, very buggy graphics.

I want the version information in addition to the short description. Is there a switch to provide this? I've tryed -V without success. [19:10] will ubuntu tweak work with karmic koala [19:10] chris|, they have the dependencies of the vbox host. oh whatever [19:10] trothigar, sun does not offer closed source guest aditions from an apt reposetory afaik [19:10] thanks jrib I will try this [19:11] * LjL is not sure why ubuntu-tweak is being recommended [19:11] Do you think I am wasting my time by giving the url [19:11] I can boot windows from a separate partition inside of a VMware window, right? ... and is this free software? [19:11] GhostWolfy, have you tried add or remove programs to see if you can find what you want?

[19:12] trothigar, i need to know what is out there i've googled for the program i've used in windows and says this program works in linux with wine, but i want a program that doesn't use wine but is similar to this program i used to use in windows [19:12] webbb82: don't care [19:12] trothigar: I didd that but I cant use it in VLC [19:12] i need to mount the device [19:13] GhostWolfy: tryed freshmeat.net? [19:13] GhostWolfy: what program? [19:13] do you think ubuntu tweak would work with karmic koala [19:13] tyrosine, its alt.binz thats the name of the program [19:13] webbb82: i think 1) karmic support is in #ubuntu+1 and not here, and 2) i wouldn't touch ubuntu-tweak to begin with, but rather read !software [19:13] webbb82, the site says it's in testing. [19:13] jeromel, smbmount might be what you need === rickspencer3 is now known as rickspencer3-afk [19:14] GhostWolfy: then pan is your best bet, but usenet clients are pretty sparse [19:14] webbb82, it may or it may not, with karmic still being beta, it may break it to the point of not being repairable (same goes for any version of Ubuntu) === enzotib_ is now known as enzotib [19:14] trothigar: and with smbmount can I specify that I want to mount the device at only start of ubuntu? [19:14] nm. apt-cache show x | grep -V does the trick [19:14] jeromel: you can do it by either using the .gvfs folder in you home dir [19:14] what do you want webb82 [19:14] jeromel, start of ubuntu? [19:14] conjurer, ok if i can't find a good one i don't mind using my windows comp for it [19:14] GhostWolfy: unles you just need nzb downloading then you have helllanzb and sabnzbd [19:15] jeromel, you can access samba mounts from the connect to server under ~/.gvfs i think [19:15] conjurer, well i do want a client that can allow nzb [19:15] conjurer, but i want something that is just as easy and close to alt.binz [19:15] jeromel: Just browse to the file the normal way and it will mount the share in that dir. then just open the file with vlc [19:15] NakidGirl_With_I: scroll up if you wanna know my question [19:15] GhostWolfy: nothing comparable :| [19:16] sorry you need solution , you do the needful , that is. EXPLAIN URSELF! [19:16] so you think its best just to use it on my windows computer then?? [19:16] For the moment I used "Connect to a server" [19:16] NakidGirl_With_I: Please calm down. [19:16] and I choosed "samba" [19:16] GhostWolfy: no, as pan can do it, just not as flashy [19:16] NakidGirl_With_I: you are a very confising person [19:16] but VLC does not recognize it [19:17] conjurer, what you mean flashy?? [19:17] and the daemons like hellanzb and sabnzbd do it but without a gui [19:17] chris| still the dependencies are quite heavy [19:17] jeromel: Can you browse the share and see the files you want to play? [19:17] GhostWolfy: install pan, you'll see [19:17] lol === sarthor_ is now known as sarthor [19:17] Question -- I am having a peculiar issue with libasound2-plugins and ia32lib -- that is that ia32lib requires libasound2-plugins (which is already installed), but states that it is going to remove it before installing, the fails on install because of the libasound2-plugins not being there. I am currently running Karmic. [19:17] boondoklife not in vlc [19:18] conjurer, ok worse case is i won't like it remove it and just use alt.binz on my windows [19:18] q [19:18] GhostWolfy: it probably runs under wine [19:18] jeromel: yea browse with nautilus till you can see the file [19:18] jeromel,you can find them under .gvfs [19:18] jeromel, thats where they are on the file system [19:18] conjurer, yes but i don't want to install wine since i tried installing programs for it before and had issues with wine [19:19] XmagusX, ask in #ubuntu+1 [19:19] GhostWolfy: i use hellanzb, with a web frontend on a server [19:19] nothing in .gvs [19:19] jeromel: once you can see the file, open the .gvfs folder in your home dir (note the dot, it is hidden by default) and you should see your share mounted there. [19:19] I have an Linux admin test to take (60 questions) and was wondering if you guys can help me. If I paste the questions in as I take the test, can you guys help me if I run in to problems? [19:19] .gvfs* [19:19] hi all, is there a nice and easy way to print multiple photos on a single page ? [19:19] mad_coder, in other words help you cheat on a test? [19:19] conjurer, so hellanzb uses nzb but pan doesn't right? [19:19] Why Not .. Anything else you would like help for ? [19:19] mad_coder, are you nuts? [19:19] oh [19:19] No, not cheat [19:19] in nautilus I found it [19:19] =) [19:20] I just don' [19:20] GhostWolfy: they both can download them, but pan won't par or unrar them [19:20] conjurer, ok so which is better pan or hellanznb?? [19:20] mad_coder: This is not a homework help channel, this is Ubuntu Support [19:20] very good [19:21] whatever.... JUst looking for some help if I ran in to trouble [19:21] GhostWolfy: differnt kinds of app, pan can browse newsgroups and has nzb downloading, hella and sab are tailored just for nzbs [19:21] i had ubuntu installed via wubi and i formated windows and reinstalled and now i can't boot into ubuntu what should i do? [19:21] thanks Boondoklife and trothigar ! it works =) [19:21] mad_coder> Dont hold yourself back , let us know your wishlist [19:21] jeromel: np [19:21] And now juste a question about player [19:21] which player is the best to manage a music library? [19:21] shaullx, did you reinstall Ubuntu using wubi? [19:21] You run in trouble , You work Harder ,.. awwright! [19:22] conjurer, well i don't need to browse i got sites i can search for stuff i wanna get i just need a client that allows ssl allow least 20 connections [19:22] jeromel, amarok probably, but its built for kde [19:22] jeromel: I personally am partial to banshee, but play around with them all [19:22] shaullx, when you install using wubi, its actually installed as a file on the windows partition, wipe out windows and you wipe out Ubuntu [19:22] GhostWolfy: then you want hella or sab, pan only allows 4 and has no ssl without an external stunnel [19:22] what about xmms? [19:23] Boondoklife, do you know how to sort music into folders using banshee/rhythmbox? [19:23] jeromel: xmms is no longer supported upstream. [19:23] oki [19:23] [19:23] jeromel: I havent used that in ages [19:23] conjurer, ok i'll try hellanzb like i said worse case is i use alt.binz even tho i don't know if that does more than 10 connections or not [19:23] =) [19:23] Halitech ubuntu was installed in a dif partition so i still have it i just don't know how to boot into it [19:23] jeromel, xmms was deprecated long time ago. See xmms2 [19:23] trothigar: are you trying to rename and sort based on the tags? [19:24] shaullx, it would be the same as any other program installed on a seperate partition, the registry settings and the modifications to the boot loader are gone, you need to reinstall it [19:24] GhostWolfy: hellanzb does everything you want just not with a gui, you run it and then put the nzbs into a folder, it downloads and pars/unrars them [19:24] Boondoklife, yes, also a program which can get tags from the internet would also be useful. [19:24] durt: oki so what about xmms2 to manage media files ? [19:25] trothigar: Have you looked at easytag? [19:25] trothigar: I use easytag for all of that, works great [19:25] Does Ubuntu 9.04 come with any graphical (X/Gnome/KDE) firewall configuration clients? [19:25] conjurer, oh.. well whats the other program you mentioned sab something?? is that a gui program or no? [19:25] or is there a good one in the repositories that I can install? [19:25] Halitech there should be a way to edit the boot loader and add ubuntu isn't there? [19:25] Boondoklife, i have. Can it remove duplicates? [19:25] bthornton: Take a look at gufw [19:25] GhostWolfy: no, it's a daemon too, they both only have web frontends, sabnzbd [19:25] Pici: looking, thanks! [19:26] hmm not sure havent tried lemme take a look [19:26] conjurer, ok well i'll just use alt.binz on windows its no biggy, btw you don't know anything bout samba do you?? [19:26] GhostWolfy: a little [19:27] shaullx, if it was a true OS install then yes but its not and I've never played around with the windows boot loader so not sure how you would edit it to get it to work correctly [19:27] I have another question. I use compiz but I would like to play quake3 or other 3Dgames but when I launch it the screen resolution goes to 640x480 and the game does not work [19:27] have you any idea about the problem? [19:27] conjurer, well i installed samba, configured it to what i was told by someone here at one point, and was able to view my ubuntu files from windows but after i reinstalled ubuntu and then install samba again and did the config again i can't get it to work now, do you think you can help me? [19:28] Halitech well is there any way to get data out of there? i have important things in my ubuntu i need to backup [19:28] My system claims to be Ubuntu 8.04.3 LTS and I need to repair my hung audio. reboot the audio with out rebooting the system. [19:28] GhostWolfy, use ninan (great) or lottanzb [19:28] trothigar: doesnt look like it can, It sure you could write a small script to scour your folders, but that would only work if your tags are all correct. [19:28] duffydack, im stickin with alt.binz but thanks anyways [19:28] shaullx, I'm not sure, I've never been a fan of wubi ... [19:29] rmmod audio modules [19:29] :( [19:29] GhostWolfy: yeah, but i edit the configs by hand, i think ubuntu has something to do it automatically [19:29] Boondoklife, maybe even write a patch to easytag ;) ty [19:29] shaullx, maybe check the forum in the wubi section, might be info there [19:29] trothigar: true, but a shell script is prolly easier =P [19:30] Anyone running a asrock G43Twins mobo with Karmic? [19:30] Halitech will do thanks [19:30] hi there. I'm currently trying to mount a directory on a server as /home on my local PC via fstab. the strange thing is: After the boot, the home directory is not mounted. When i execute the command mount the first time, it doesn't list /home as a mounted directory. When I execute it a second time then, it lists /home as mounted and everything's fine [19:30] hi everyone. if my desktop randomly does a complete lock-up, is it possible I had bad RAM? [19:30] conjurer, i did edit by hand i can pastebin my conf file and show and see if theres something missing i need to do [19:30] how do i map lets say "alt left key + y " to echo out "hello world" [19:30] GhostWolfy: ok sure then :) [19:30] btw what works better on netbooks win7 or ubuntu? [19:30] conjurer, ok [19:31] Boondoklife, i like a challenge :P [19:31] shaullx-> ubuntu in our opinion... :P [19:31] shaullx: win7 takbar is fugeeeee, and takes up too much of the screen imo :P plus its windows [19:31] GhostWolfy, well in case you change your mind : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1234982 [19:31] trothigar: lol, same here but damned if time doesn't spite me on an hourly basis [19:31] I'm having a strange problem with my gnome panel, there's a thin white line that extends across most of it see: http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/8603/whitelinegnomepanel.png [19:31] is there any way to fix this? [19:32] conjurer i dont like windows but 7 is awesome [19:32] how is battery life with ubuntu? [19:32] better then with windows? [19:32] duffydack, well like i told conjurer im wanting a program that is like alt.binz that is gui, that does maybe least 20 connections and ssl and doesn't use wine to work [19:32] i have extracted a tar.gz file and extracted it, and I have a terminal and have changed cd to the subdirectory with the files, what sudo do I do now? [19:32] romeus, you could reset the panels back to their default settings. [19:32] shaullx: my battery lasts about the same in both [19:32] shaullx: comparable to windows, better if you want to tweak it [19:33] B9, what does the readme file tell you to do? [19:33] whats in the cdrom repository [19:33] shaullx: look at the app called powertop === Spami|Thug_ is now known as Spami|Thug [19:33] GhostWolfy, well ninan uses web interface but is very advanced, it can do ssl and however many connections... lottanzb is a gui and is simple but good. gets pars when needed and extracts, same as ninan [19:33] Halitech: it just has /usr/bin/ [19:33] hi there. I'm currently trying to mount a directory on a server as /home on my local PC via fstab. the strange thing is: After the boot, the home directory is not mounted. When i execute the command mount the first time, it doesn't list /home as a mounted directory. When I execute it a second time then, it lists /home as mounted and everything's fine [19:34] duffydack, ok well i'll just stick with alt.binz [19:34] conjurer this app is for linux? [19:34] shaullx: yes [19:34] i mean only linux? [19:34] yes [19:34] conjurer, here is my conf file http://pastebin.com/m15f0749d [19:34] B9, what do you mean it just has /usr/bin ??? [19:34] nice app [19:35] ive got a problem with thunderbird + ldap address book. If I type a new email address in teh address bar (that is not present) i get a huge timeout halfway through keying as ubuntu searches for the partial address [19:35] my battery lasts for 2.5-3 hours i should buy a 6 cell [19:35] anyone else using tbird + ldap that can compare performance? [19:35] that is all it has in the instruction file :-( [19:35] shaullx: what is your battery now? [19:35] in the middle of a large file transfer over ssh the connection drops and when looking at the remote machine I see multiple error messages saying "end_request: I/O error, dev hda, sector #whatever#". What exactly does this message mean? Could I have a dying disk? It's not very old. Could it be caused by sshd or some other daemon causing problems during the transfer? [19:35] B9, what are you trying to install? [19:36] DefineByte: that sounds like hardware errors with your drive [19:36] GhostWolfy: looks fine, is your windows boxes using MSHOME or WORKGROUP? [19:36] conjurer, MSHOME [19:37] slestak: fschk doesn't find anything. Is there a more thorough test you can do? [19:37] GhostWolfy: ok did you set the password? [19:37] *ooops* zorry [19:37] slestak: also, I have seen people with the same message that turned out to be a software problem. [19:37] conjurer, um only password i have is when i login to this computer which runs ubuntu [19:37] DefineByte: i dont use it, but i understand SMART will check the drive itself for signs of failure, not jus the filesystem [19:37] DefineByte: ahh, ok. [19:37] Take backup NOW seek help laterz ... [19:38] DefineByte: are you running the forced fsck? [19:38] Halitech: /home/beauford/Desktop/Downloads/guipdftk.tar.gz [19:38] arand: no, i'm running it at boot time [19:38] I've been trying to figure out a way to auto detect settings for the xorg conf file, tried doing dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg, but the file generated is so generic it doesn't even list a specific drive. its an integrated intel graphics card 82Q35, the generic xorg works fine except with making flash videos fullsize I get am extension GLX missing error any ideas [19:39] DefineByte, get a copy of Ultimate boot cd and use the hardware disk tools on it [19:39] DefineByte, fsck is only a file system checker and doesn't really test the physical disk [19:39] NakidGirl_With_I: there's nothing important on it. :) [19:39] DefineByte: i would still check the SMART data of the drive. THis is the link I'm talking about. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Smartmontools [19:39] DefineByte> mount it with ro option , and save yourself from getting fscked.. dont tell me later .. you were not told [19:39] GhostWolfy: i'm not sure if ubuntu auto sets up passwords the same as your user one [19:39] <{g}> jrib: yes, feh rotates but it doesnt let you overwrite the file afterwards. [19:39] anyone using tbird + ldap address book? [19:39] slestak: thanks. Halitech: the system doesn't have a cd drive but I guess I could put it on a USB stick? [19:40] You know so much them tell me abt SRST failed error (-16) , disk not detected .. what do you do [19:40] how do i map lets say "alt left key + y " to echo out "hello world" ? [19:40] NakidGirl_With_I: dunno, sorry [19:40] NakidGirl_With_I: try google?

[19:41] arand: i put /forcefschk in the root which forced a check. Is that not what you mean? [19:41] B9, have you checked the repo to see if its available there?

My question: in case of failure of a partition, usually i can restore it with dd command (in case i have backed up my MBR). My question what should i backup or take care of in case of LVM partition? [19:42] arand: yes, I spelled it right at the time ^^ [19:42] Halitech: I'm pretty sure it will boot off USB but I've never tried it. It will boot of an internal CF card though. [19:42] GhostWolfy, rusty brain, but something like smbpasswd -a [19:43] DefineByte, ok, guess no harm in trying it then [19:43] If I had my wits about me I probably would have timed the transfer to see if it froze at the same point but ah well. :) [19:43] try running a "fsck -f -y from a livecd, it _may_ catch more errors.

[19:51] yup [19:51] *oops* [19:51] Halitech: yup [19:51] duffydack, thanks [19:51] twan_vd_p: Thats because in later versions of Ubuntu apache2.2-common *is* available in the repos, as is libapache2-mod-wsgi [19:51] B9, ok, well the guipdftk is an executable so doesn't look like you need to actually do anything but run it [19:52] hhhhh [19:52] Halitech: i tried to click on it to run but no cigar [19:52] Pici cant you give me an url for the srouce.lst or is this just plain stupid ? === LinoSP is now known as LinoSP|Away [19:52] why dont you download and recompile it [19:52] NakidGirl_With_I: compiling apache2 isn't a trivia task.

[19:53] twan_vd_p: You'd need to upgrade to a new version of Ubuntu to be able to fully use apache2.2 and therefor mod-wsgi [19:53] twan_vd_p: Why don't you upgrade to 8.04, which is LTS? [19:54] B9, I have no idea, doesn't work for me either [19:54] you have cc installed, us yes install autoconf and go ahead best of luck [19:54] NakidGirl_With_I: Please don't give silly recommendations [19:54] hey, has anyone gotten sound notifications to work properly in empath in 9.04???

[19:55] twan_vd_p: You can upgrade from 6.06 to 8.04 remotely. You really should consider it anyway. [19:55] B9, do you have pdftk installed? I think guipdftk is just a gui front end for it [19:56] my suggestion is tagged silly so forget it ! [19:56] holla [19:56] twan_vd_p: 6.06 will only be supported for another year and a half on the server, and it's currently only partially supported, because *only* the "server" is supported still. [19:56] how can i resize a ext3 partition? [19:56] i am trying to setup my computers so when you log on it pulls your files from a server. would this be called a domain server?

[20:02] AmbrNewlearner: Because gigabytes are not the same thing as gibibytes. [20:02] xurxo: becouse the package does not exist ? maybe it is called svn [20:02] AmbrNewlearner: where are you seeing the disk size? [20:02] sphenxes01, ive no idea, sorry [20:02] Like a dummy I moved my Ubuntu from /dev/sda5 to /dev/sda2 (making room for others) I updated the root UUID in /etc/fstab and in the grub configs but when I boot all I get is a grub prompt [20:02] erUSUL, xurxo: it's subversion. xurxo is this a fresh install? have you done sudo apt-get update? [20:03] resno: In gparted....the disk is unformatted now [20:03] Halitech: yes, but i am not good with command line unless it is a sudo [20:03] Flannel: just checked you are right [20:03] duffydack, thanks, i think it is lvm2 [20:03] ill try [20:03] Pici: I get your point.....

Lost GRUB after installing Windows?

[20:04] edoceo: What's happening is grub isn't able to find your menu.lst, so it just sits there without any configuration [20:04] spade: use cp -a ? [20:04] try cpio instead [20:04] halitech: the config just has that file string in it USR/Bin [20:04] What would happen if I tried to install Ubuntu Network Remix on a desktop PC??? :| [20:04] Halitech: i tried to copy the file there but it wouldn't let me === yoni is now known as CrAzYoNi [20:05] Pici: To be honest, I never new that there is something called gigibytes :D [20:06] erUSUL can you explain further? what is svn?

[20:06] !info svn [20:06] Package svn does not exist in jaunty [20:06] Pici: thanks again for the link :) [20:06] fbianconi: the package name is subversion === zelfje2 is now known as Zelfje [20:07] jaunty. installed it a couple of days ago, erusul. Im updating now. thanks === fwaokda is now known as blahbloo [20:08] How can I change ubuntu to su instead of sudo [20:08] xurxo: check in system>Admin>software sources that you have enabled all essential repositories (main universe and multiverse) [20:08] can somebody tell me which of this two notebook is a better choice if you want to run ubuntu: http://tinyurl.com/acerechner [20:08] both are different apps [20:08] ds [20:08] and http://tinyurl.com/dellrechner [20:08] fiber_cut, you would need to enable root log ins which are not supported here or the forums [20:09] fiber_cut: you can use su in ubuntu just fine. "su username" will change you to that username [20:09] depends which one you are buying for me [20:09] I tried cp -a, but am getting lots of owner errors, operation not permitted, and still attempts to create symbolic links. [20:09] hey folks, If I create my own icon theme in ~/.icons then what do I call the icon for ardour that I want to use?

[20:09] My roomates dell windows laptop I believe has an MBR issue and won't boot. I want to fix the laptop via pxe boot from my ubuntu desktop. Any suggestions? Will I have to burn an xp cd to fix it? [20:10] fiber_cut: but as Halitech points out root account is disabled and we do not support enabling it so "su root" (and its shortform "su") is not supported [20:10] erusul. all sources are checked. Now the terminal is stuck updating 32% [20:10] fiber_cut: but you could `sudo -i` to be root at shell prompt [20:10] egaudet: pxeboot is overkill for what you want. [20:10] Ok, But I did get it to work [20:10] edubruell: they both have ATI video cards.. look for references on those cards with ubuntu.. Some ATI cards no longer work because of ATI's driver support. Nvidia is easier. [20:10] xurxo: maybe just a problem with the mirror you use ? [20:11] ah o.k. [20:11] slestak, explain. I have no usb stick and no cd burner aside from the laptop's cd-rw [20:11] mirror? [20:11] i didn't find dell laptops with nvidia cards in germany [20:11] fiber_cut: sudo passwd root :P then you can su [20:11] egaudet: to fix win's MBR, i think you need a win disk. if you had dual boot setup, then you could use grub, but it didnt sound liek you have grub on the disk [20:11] edubruell: in the U.S. we can have them configured that way [20:11] xurxo: the server you download packages from [20:12] !rootpass [20:12] Sorry, I don't know anything about rootpass [20:12] and the acer is not configurable at all [20:12] !root [20:12] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [20:12] !noroot [20:12] We do not support having a root password set. See !root and !wfm for more information.

Hence, a root password must be makde [20:13] slestak, that's what I figured I would need but the issue is that I don't have a working cd-rw drive aside from on the laptop. It's a dell, I attempted to boot a live ubuntu image from usb key, and it failed saying no bootloader found. After a reboot it went right to DRKM loading... thing which from googling I gather is an MBR issue [20:13] s/makde/made [20:13] slestak, actually my sudo password works fine in cups === psycho_oreos is now known as hatake_kakashi [20:13] worst comes to worse I can wait until tomorrow to burn an xp cd, but if I can get it fixed today via pxeboot that would be good [20:13] Halitech: hmmm [20:13] erUSUL my packages havnt been downloading well. Is the mirror what i change under software sources. I have it on main server [20:13] how does one turn off/on a service in Ubuntu 9.04? [20:14] slestak: my password also works fine in cups.. www.localhost:631 [20:14] xurxo: chosee the fastest [20:14] egaudet: to fix Windows MBR issue you'll need XP (or similar CD) to run `chkdsk /fixmbr` or similar [20:14] hi all [20:14] xurxo: choose* [20:14] egaudet, look at supergrub [20:14] the current issue is that I have no way of burning an XP cd with my desktop because my cd drive is broken [20:15] xurxo: you can also choose "other" and have synaptic test for the best server for your location. [20:15] egaudet, will it boot from usb? [20:15] Halitech, no that is what caused this problem [20:15] egaudet, bummer [20:15] anyone using ldap + tbird that can confirm something for me?

[21:14] DefineByte, bart-pe is the default one, easy to find. [21:14] bro: from the Grub boot loader go into recovery mode and do xfix, that should reset xorg [21:14] sebsebseb: can you tell me how? i didn't use recovery untill now === DepthSort` is now known as DepthSort [21:14] Hi.

I looked into UltimateBootCD too, but it won't boot of USB and I don't have a CD-ROM. x) Bart-PE should fit the bill [21:15] bro: you have the Grub boot loader? [21:15] bro: sure you do, it just might not be appearing on your screen for long before Ubuntu boots up [21:15] so?? [21:15] DefineByte, i dont know how good bart-pe support is on usb, but good luck [21:16] good morning, afternoon, evening, Ubunteros [21:16] bro: there should be an option on it for recovery mode [21:16] lomez: Thank you. It seems it might be potluck if it works. >.< [21:16] erUSUL any other ideas ? [21:16] anyone knows how to install "SDL_mixer 1.2" [21:16] sebsebseb: i might have done something whrong, but i know i set the timeout to 0 in grub.lst [21:17] bro: I see uhmm [21:17] Where is the toolbar settings stored? [21:17] [21:17] [21:17] hi. how do i unpack a .bin file? i've googled this problem, but all the posts i found about it were from people who were told how to execute the file. i actually do need to unpack it. any ideas? [21:17] bro: I think you can press esc on it, to stop the time out [21:17] bro: If not, you got the Live CD still? [21:17] SnakDoc: nope sorry [21:17] sebsebseb: and there's a recovery option ? [21:18] erUSUL, just rebooted, the screen won't load after splash though, i see like four and a half little blurry pixelated splash ubuntu's and then it will black out two times and then it will get stuck, still not loading a screen [21:18] sebsebseb: ies, but it's a kubuntu 6.06 [21:18] I just did a scan on my port 44400,and it says it's filtered. how would I get more info on this? I think I may have to remove this filter for a game server [21:18] gay [21:18] a file marked .bin could be any number of things. Have you tried using the "file" command from a terminal? I will look at the file contents and try to figure out what it really is. [21:18] bro: well if you have access to your partition, I can't remember how exactly on the Live CD, you could run commands for your install [21:18] bro: ,but you can also access the menu.lst on your partition and change it so there is a timeout [21:18] sjokkis: I don't think it's possible, if it's built-in to the binary there should be some --flag to do it (maybe --help would give info?) [21:18] erUSUL i'll reboot and go back on recovery mode and cli [21:18] sebsebseb: that's what i'm trying to do now, but i don't know how to get root on konqueror [file manager] [21:18] arand: it's an image for flashing a router [21:19] Guest21216, what is your problem? [21:19] i mean OlySoft-Dave [21:19] bro: well you only really need root for that one file [21:19] lomez> HI [21:19] perhaps mounting it is the way to go? [21:19] sebsebseb: something like gksudo nautilus, but for konqueror [21:19] bro: I think it's as simple as mounting the partition and then [21:19] !ask Guest21216 [21:19] Sorry, I don't know anything about ask Guest21216 [21:19] Guest21216: please realize that the people here are volunteers - and not every question has a satisfactory answer [21:19] lomez> I just want to use my ipod touch on Ubuntu, that s all [21:19] sjokkis: then it's not something you unpack. You need to access the admin functions of the device so it grabs the image and does it's magick with it. [21:19] sjokkis: where from? [21:19] sjokkis: the bin extension only tells you that whoever created the file thought it was a binary file.. if it's a flash rom image you probably need a specific utility app to do stuff with it [21:19] bro: gksudo kate /media/disk1/boot/grub/menu.lst or something like that [21:20] Guest21216, sorry, i dont understand what you mean. install ubuntu on your itouch? [21:20] erUSUL i got it had to go to root of problem samba-common after that it was fixed [21:20] lomez: no he wants his Ipod Touch to work in Ubuntu [21:20] arand: openwrt.org [21:20] lomez> NO, just use my ipod touch on ubuntu [21:20] ah. Guest21216, what are you using to connect to it [21:20] backup software suggestions? there are many choices -- i prefer GUI [21:21] usb, but can use anything else if it works and if you teach me [21:21] Slart, [[hda1][hda2][free space][hda3]] seems to be a problem [21:21] Guest21216, i mean what program? [21:21] banshee [21:21] sjokkis: and which file? [21:21] lomez>banshee [21:21] xiong: heh, I am looking at that myself this weekend. Lost yet another install with no backup...this time due to a raid failure. [21:21] cowgarden: huh? it doesn't want to create a new partition in that space? [21:22] erUSUL, what do i do now? i have about 40 min to decide if i should go out and buy an external hard drive to somehow copy all my files from CLI onto it [21:22] and then reinstall [21:22] Slart, yes, as I said it claims the free space "unusable" and gives me no options for it at all [21:22] question: powertop is telling me to add something to the kernel command line in grub conf, is this the line in the menu.lst that has splash ro after the kernel? [21:22] arand: how is it relevant? it's an image for flashing openwrt onto a router. i just need some default config files [21:22] zebastian: your in recovery mode? you want to fix ATI? [21:22] but i can do an svn checkout instead, so it's cool. thanks tho [21:22] Hello [21:22] In the live configs, what is the root password? [21:22] sebsebseb, yes i am on recovery mode, i tried changing ati and it didn't work now x wont load a screen even after trying to go back to vesa [21:23] Slart, [[hda1][free space][hda2][hda3]] no better like this, thought that was the problem (read in a forum) [21:23] i tried the xfix from recovery mode [21:23] zebastian: yeah bro has a similar issue [21:23] cowgarden: I don't really have an empty drive to try this on.. so I can't really verify that it's a general problem with that configuration and not just gparted that is acting up.. but gparted doesn't usually act up.. [21:23] lomez> so? [21:23] zebastian: ok you did xfix and what happended? [21:23] sebsebseb : kdesudo kate/path /to/file [21:23] nothing [21:23] i rebooted [21:23] i got a stupid question: how do i get amarok to open a file? From the menu when i try to open something, nothing happens... also from ubuntu's file manager when i right click and select "open with amarok", nothing happens, no playing, no error messages.... [21:23] zvacet: say that to bro [21:23] sjokkis: since all images there seems to be in .img format... not .bin ... [21:24] sebsebseb : sorry [21:24] then the same [21:24] zvacet: oh yeah I said gksudo to him didn't I hmm [21:24] nothing after splash [21:24] !root | g00se [21:24] g00se: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [21:24] bro : kdesudo kate/path /to/file [21:24] lomez> [21:25] sudo x ---- 'user goose is not in the sudoers group' [21:25] Guest21216, sorry, i dont know about banshee, i only use amarok and rhythombox [21:25] right now i am on the cli, after loggin in recovery mode [21:25] what must i back up in order to be able, at need, to perform a full restore after the most extreme disaster? -- /home of course but what else? -- no need to back up all the downloaded software but i want a straightforward way to redownload it all [21:25] zvacet, sebsebseb, only kdesu seems to work on 6.06, but for some reason it won't get to my sda6 partition, even if i can browse it in file manager [21:25] zvacet: well thanks I forgot that Kubuntu has it's own thing as well [21:25] It seems my amarok don't accept mp3-files.. wav plays ok... how do i enable mp3 in amarok [21:25] oki amarok then [21:25] zvacet: he wants to edit his /boot/grub/menu.lst file [21:26] zvacet: put a timeout back on it, so he can go into recovery mode and hopefuly fix xorg, in fact maybe you know of a better way? he is on the Live CD [21:26] g00se: did you say live CD? [21:26] Heikki123, you need to install th restricted codecs as amarok cannot package them togeher legally [21:26] xiong: there is a log file, I believe it's install.log, that keeps track of all packages you have installed. A copy of that would enable you to quickly reinstall them after recovery. [21:26] oh sorry, forgot to mention: i'm running the 9.10 alpha [21:26] guntbert: Yep - i'm running in live mode [21:26] Slart, yea, usually gparted is a really lovely program :) [21:26] lomez: ok thanks [21:26] !9.10 | Heikki123 [21:26] Heikki123: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 29th, 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [21:27] bro : kdesu kate /boot/grub/menu.lst [21:27] Guest21216, install amarok and see if your itouch is recognized automatically. it should be [21:27] oh, yes i know 9.10 is not released and it is only alpha and might break some things [21:28] Oki installed and started [21:28] Heikki123: well your not meant to get support for it in here [21:28] sebsebseb: ok, sorry :) [21:28] What do I do now?? [21:28] g00se: in live CD the "main" user is ubuntu, for that one sudo works without password [21:28] i can't lose all my files to a clean reinstall [21:28] Slart, i still can occupie the space by extending the formerly shrinked partition [21:28] hey, how can I tell on the command line whether I'm running ubuntu desktop or ubuntu server on a box? [21:28] but i need to be able to load the gui [21:28] zvacet: it's blank, doesn't exist. i think, because i'm on live cd, i have to give the whole path /media/... but it doesn't get into my sda6 partition enev if it's already mounted [21:28] zebastian: ok so xfix didn't work? [21:28] is there a way i could copy all of /usr to an external drive? if i plugged one [21:29] bro: yes you do [21:29] sebsebseb no [21:29] bro: it might be /mnt something [21:29] guntbert: OK. I added user 'goose'. Is there a password for ubuntu? [21:29] Zebastian: question, did you manually install video drivers or did you use the automated system to download/install them? [21:29] bro: check media also to make sure your calling it the right thing in the command [21:29] dan: lsb_release -a tells you a lot [21:30] so?? [21:30] zebastian: ok ATI graphics cards are known to have problems with 9.04 [21:30] does anyone know if it is possible to reinstall Ubuntu without reformatting /home if I am using encrypted home directories (ecryptfs)? [21:30] zebastian: I missed some of your issue, so can you quickly repeate it for me? [21:30] sebsebseb: i browsed to the file, copied the path and pasted in terminal [21:30] guntbert, doesn't say anything different for that it looks like [21:30] g00se: no, in the live CD "ubuntu" has no password [21:30] guntbert, I think that just lists what's in /etc/lsb-release [21:30] damn, NTFS support in Ubuntu sucks :( You have to drop into a terminal and "sudo" mount it manually! :( [21:31] sebsebseb: it's /media/sda6/boot/grub/menu.lst for me but it turns a blank file [21:31] PeakerWork: that's not right [21:31] OlySoft-Dave, i had used the original system, i had gotten the proprietory drivers, but my computer ketp getting stuck when i would play a movie, namely a large avi file, so these two guys here, actionparsnip and digitaldarkness told me to go to ati/amd and get the drive for my laptop [21:31] the double-click-media-icon fails on external NTFS drives [21:31] PeakerWork: it should just work [21:31] PeakerWork: as long as Windows shut down the partition properly [21:31] zebastian: you can easily copy files to an external drive. If it is not auto-detected and mounted in /media then you would need to mount it yourself by finding it in /dev. But you can certainly do it. [21:31] sebsebseb: well, ntfs-3g refuses to mount stuff as a normal user [21:31] I did this on one machine and I was unable to access my $HOME and so I had to reinstall again and format everything [21:31] PeakerWork: oh [21:31] i tried that but it didnt work, for some reason the driver for my laptop radeon 3200 was the one for 64 bit and not for 32 bit despite it being under 32 bit [21:31] PeakerWork: well I haven't had problems [21:31] hello [21:32] sebsebseb: its saying "external FUSE support is insecure" or something like that when used from the shell (and I had to manually create /etc/fstab entry too!) [21:32] so i tried going back and it didn't work, tried recovery mode xfix and ti didnt work, tried changing back to vesa [21:32] in what package does the hg command dwell? [21:32] didn't work [21:32] Is there an alternative to Pidgin? [21:32] Can anyone recommend a cheap card to play high def in ubuntu with audio through hdmi? [21:32] zebastian: so you tried to install a 64bit driver on a 32bit Ubuntu? [21:32] hey , installed the restriced drivers, also flash via synaptic , nonfree as well and i still cant seem to watch ths video (flash) from this site : http://www.mylifetime.com/on-tv/shows/project-runway/full-episodes/video/full-episode-4-what-a-woman-wants [21:32] m0r0n yes several [21:32] m0r0n: empathy, amsn, mirc in wine...? [21:32] Nvidia Geforce 8200 [21:32] apparently, when i went to the ati drivers site, it was listed as 32 bit [21:32] cheap [21:32] but then it turned out to be a misnomer or something [21:32] Zebastian: once you install the driver from ATI you have installed a DKMS module. It's a bad idea in the future. There is a way to kill it though. [21:32] dan: right you are :-), try uname -a then [21:33] i am having a problem with my sound cards, running a hp workstation, which has a full range built in speaker, it is currently the default, trying to change it to the other sound card, not working how i wants it too [21:33] zebastian: ok this is something else, DO NOT! Get drivers for graphic cards for Ubuntu from their offical sites, or expect problems, always get from repo [21:33] zebastian: only from a site as a last resort [21:33] hello [21:33] sebsebseb i had already gotten it from the repos [21:33] it was these two guys [21:33] on here [21:33] zebastian: uh? [21:33] I can'r believe no one knows how to use an ipod touch or iphone on Ubuntu!!!!!! [21:34] where does ubuntu store the Sharing information ? (all the folders that are shared) [21:34] actionparsnip and digitaldarkness [21:34] Guest21216: go back to mac [21:34] pranav: does it have a floppy drive? :P [21:34] that told me to get it from there [21:34] can anyone help, the pund sign (£) on the keyboard doesnt register with sudo, is there a fix? [21:34] pranav: my bad, way too late :) [21:34] zebastian: and maybe if you haven't got rid of the repo one and then install one from the site, problems, espeailly if it's for the wrong archetecture [21:34] W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net jaunty Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 5A9BF3BB4E5E17B5 [21:34] can, this install of OS, let me watch movies on mylifetime.com? [21:34] what does that mean? [21:34] Guest21216: afaik it isn't possible.. [21:34] zebastian: what happended to the one in the repo? what was wrong with it? [21:34] now i need to either get an external drive, copy all my /usr files to it and reinstall or fix this problem soemhow [21:34] naDi: depends what format those videos are in [21:34] Guest21216, thats because apple does silly things and makes it very difficult to use those devices with other software [21:34] naDi: Yes it can and i just loaded up that site and it worked for me [21:34] naDi: Flash probably, and yes Ubuntu can do Flash [21:34] zebastian: I am looking up the terminal command to kill the ati module. [21:35] do u know how???? [21:35] I have deleted tons of gigabyte in my truecrypt container. However, is still shows 0 bytes free. What the heck? [21:35] naDi: Are you using firefox? [21:35] OlySoft-Dave: is there really such a thing? [21:35] Guest21216: take a look at what I wrote.. [21:35] !info mercurial | xjih78 [21:35] xjih78: mercurial (source: mercurial): scalable distributed version control system. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.1.2-2ubuntu1 (jaunty), package size 48 kB, installed size 328 kB [21:35] zebastian: What was the problem with the driver from the Ubuntu repo? [21:35] guntbert, that looks like the linux kernel version [21:35] afaik??? what's that?? [21:35] sebsebseb what happened was that every time i'd try to watch a movie, ie a large avi file after a while the whole computer would get stuck, using dragon player or vlc, it didn't matter eventually it would get stuck so i wanted to fix this [21:35] i guess the smartest way is to remove the hdd from the laptop :P [21:35] hello [21:35] I know they are very similar and appear to use the same repositories, but it would be nice to know which you have when you SSH [21:35] i turned compiz off whenever trying to watch a movie [21:36] Guest21216: as far as I know [21:36] plz helpe me [21:36] afaik: as far as I know [21:36] zebastian: yeah I heard about choopy video with ATI in 9.04 [21:36] it is tho [21:36] !ask | sam1 [21:36] sam1: 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. :-) [21:36] some people made it [21:36] just need hel[ [21:36] help [21:36] zebastian: and I have also heard that 8.04 is much better for ATI cards than 9.04 [21:36] sebsebseb well the choppy video went away with compiz turned off [21:36] dan: exactly - and "server" and "desktop" use different kernels by default [21:36] guntbert: thanks. trying to investigate bluetooth [21:36] zebastian: heard as in read it in here before, or something on those lines [21:36] bro : read http://members.iinet.net.au/~herman546/p15.html#GRUB_shell [21:37] iwant to use my ZTE 7810 === froglet is now known as froglet_ [21:37] can someone help me using ipod touch with amarok or banshee??????

[21:37] strange: I think after some configuring they can work, but in that case not that well [21:37] this is lsusb output [21:38] bro: linux was in the path hmm odd [21:38] zebastian: you will have to use; "dkms status" to display the names of all modules you currently have, then kill the right ones with "dkms remove --all _NAME_" [21:38] sebsebseb: really? i ended up running virtualbox to manage my touch [21:38] Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub [21:38] Bus 005 Device 002: ID 19d2:fff5 [21:38] Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub [21:38] Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub [21:38] Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub [21:38] sam1: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[21:38] i had to do some specific things [21:38] dan: then I'd say : if it has a GUI its desktop :-), but maybe the people in #ubuntu-server know better [21:38] to get sound [21:38] sam1 you should use pastebin when you want to paste multiple lines [21:38] sebsebseb : not for me I fix my probles with ATI by upgrading from hardy to intepid no problems after that but maybe this not apply to all [21:38] zebastian: ah ha I see, and it's a lap top yes? [21:39] then it wouldn't allow for my cellphone to connect to my laptop [21:39] VLN = VPN [21:39] is there a wrapper for windows audio drivers [21:39] so i fixed that [21:39] and i have the notes of how that was done [21:39] bro : good 8-) [21:39] zvacet: Well I am glad that I use Nividia :) [21:39] can anyone help, the pund sign (£) on the keyboard doesnt register with sudo, is there a fix? [21:39] yes it's a compaq presario laptop cq40-32la [21:39] guntbert, ok thanks [21:39] zebastian: gratz to you on sticking with it and getting those services to work. Stick with this a little longer and we may get you back up with minimal pain. [21:39] g00se: I have no idea, I just entered hg into my terminal and was told to install mercurial for that :-) [21:39] zvacet: enough though their driver is propritary closed source [21:39] !freedom | zvacet [21:39] zvacet: freedom is important. Ubuntu is as free as we can make it, which means mostly free software. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/licensing [21:40] http://paste.ubuntu.com/271193/ [21:40] sebsebseb : I believe you [21:40] OlySoft-Dave thanks man,m i love ubuntu, it was getting ubuntu or a mac [21:40] zvacet: 9.04 has been a bad release for Intel graphics card and ATI to some extent as well [21:40] NO one helps here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11 [21:40] Guest21216: hmm [21:40] and i like freedom, i knew that if i had any issue with ubuntu with a little patience i could solve it [21:40] Guest21216: how much RAM do you have? [21:41] Guess this is a blank screen.. [21:41] is there a wrapper for windows audio drivers [21:41] sebsebseb : we all use different proprietary packages and nobody seams to have problem with that [21:41] sebsebseb> 3Gb [21:41] why? [21:41] zvacet: the first bit is true, the second bit isn't true [21:41] Ian2: pretty sure there is only a wrapper for wifi [21:41] shite [21:42] Ian2: what sound chipset do you have? [21:42] cant get audio or notin tried everything [21:42] hi, for the download/installation instruction page of a program I'd like to give advice about where to put the program. Is there a general recommendation about where to put executables? [21:42] one sec [21:42] I'm not hugely used to guis. Are there tools to investigate and configure bluetooth? [21:42] how can i make voica call in ubuntu [21:42] Ian2: I doubt you have tried Everything [21:42] ???????????? [21:42] sebsebseb : don´t be purist take world as it is I will like to use free codecs and other stuff but... [21:42] Guest21216: http://www.virtualbox.org and for Linux hosts, which is the closed source version with USB support, hmmm that needs setting up in 9.04 the USB support though, #vbox for help and you can have Windows for your Ipod touch inside Ubuntu probably with that [21:42] Guest21216: I am not sure iPod touch works with either of those. There was an issue where Apple changed the digital signatures in the song lists so GNU/Linux aps could no longer safely alter the song loadout. I don't know if those have been dealt with. [21:42] mycomputer: you could use Skype or Gizmo or something like that [21:43] IN ENGLISH PLS [21:43] !yell [21:43] PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [21:43] zvacet: I am not purist, but ideally we should be using opensource/freesoftware rather than closed source software, it's just sometimes there is a good reason to use closed source, the graphics card driver for example [21:43] mycomputer: ekiga is built in [21:43] FUCK OFF [21:43] I have just ssh into my other box and i am trying to authenticate myself with shh however sudo gives me wrong password when I know it is correct, it is not the first time has been going on for a while is there a fix?

[21:44] sebsebseb : I can not agree more we think the same way ;) [21:44] guest21216: that was fairly plain bro. Bottom line, I don't know that it can be fixed since it worked fine until Apple broke it. [21:44] zvacet: good :) [21:44] sebsebseb : 8-) [21:44] disabeling pulseaudio messin round and stuff (idt 92hd75b3x5) [21:44] seidos>I ONLY want to use my ipod touch with Ubuntu [21:45] Ian2: has sound Ever worked?

[21:45] Guest21216: have you considered a work around until you can get that functionality working? [21:45] i disabled pulseaudio in fedora and it worked strait away [21:45] mycomputer is often disconnecting from net any software to reconnect itself [21:45] but no hear [21:45] Guest21216: a work around is the virtual machine by the way [21:46] Can someone please load: http://69.40.53.155 and let me know if you get anything? [21:46] sebsebseb you think i should go buying an external hard drive? and try to do a clean install on hardy [21:46] of * [21:46] StevenMyers: File server testing completed... [21:46] Ian2: that didn't work for me. You can try killall pulseaudio, but for me, pulseaudio and alsa both have to be running for sound to work. I have snd_hda_intel, realtek 268 codec or something [21:46] Excellent! [21:46] StevenMyers: works [21:46] Thank you VERY much [21:46] zebastian: well maybe, but also maybe 9.10 which is released on October 29th will have better ATI support, I hope so [21:46] Been at this for days on getting this IP public :-) [21:46] maybe so [21:46] zebastian: however it is a good idea to have an external hard disk, for backup and that, a computers hard disk can just fail on you after all [21:47] Is there any arbix here [21:47] StevenMyers: dyndys.org? [21:47] one thing I can say about an office, it is usually quieter [21:47] i give up [21:47] sebsebseb would you help me copy all of my /usr stuff from the cli to the external hard drive ¿ [21:47] StevenMyers>"File server testing completed...

[21:47] Not at all [21:47] I have just ssh into my other box and i am trying to authenticate myself with shh however sudo gives me wrong password when I know it is correct, it is not the first time has been going on for a while is there a fix?

You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [21:48] Guest21216: You have to learn to help yourself a bit when it comes to stuff like Ubuntu, not many people will want to hold your hand all the way, like they might do with Windows, if you paid them heh [21:48] That is true, but they have it probed for the next ip's to grab that port forwarding. [21:48] ill reinstall pulse audio but if that dosent work anthin else [21:48] i have to install it on a laptop [21:48] how can i use my ZTE 7810 wireless modem with linux [21:48] sebsebseb i just can't afford to lose all of my files [21:48] old one, [21:48] i have very important files [21:48] Slart, yea, seem to be 4 allready, sry [21:48] ihave it installed on the pc i'm using [21:48] Guest21216: this is the last reply for you bro. You have a device that is broken by design. You will need to hack it in order to work with GNU/Linux. Google it if you're interested, otherwise stop being rude. [21:48] cowgarden: ahh.. that makes sense then [21:49] Ian2: here is a howto I followed that taught me a lot about alsa and pulseaudio: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto [21:49] sebsebseb, zvacet: thanks guys, you saved my ass and my system, i removed the ati driver [21:49] pranav: [21:49] anyone who knows whats on the eeepc 1000hs fat32 partition (5GB)?

[21:52] sebsebseb: what should I have to do [21:52] sam1: what's your current set up? [21:52] sam1: you only have Windows installed on there right now?

[21:53] tmg1: what's logicworks? what does it do [21:53] bro: odd, but kind of funny, if Ubuntu is giving you that message also [21:53] no iwant to use my ZTE wireless connection [21:53] zebastian: yep, i don't know what's all about [21:53] how do I edit my xorf.conf so that it'll boot up in vesa mode?

[21:54] zebastian: ok, do that and come back and tell us if it worked [21:54] sebsebseb: btw, it is not possible to use an iPod Touch with Linux without jailbreaking it or using virtualbox like you said [21:54] thanks [21:54] sebsebseb: Just in case someone asks later :) [21:54] bro: that was me responding to a guest that wanted to connect an iPod Touch to Ubuntu. He needs to jailbreak it and didn't like hearing it so was cursing and being rude. [21:54] Amaranth: jailbreaking? [21:55] bro, what did you do afterward? [21:55] reboot? [21:55] sebsebseb: Modifying the firmware of the touch so you can install 3rd party software [21:55] zebastian, yes [21:55] btw is there an option to install it via an image file, it is present on it! [21:55] ???? [21:55] Amaranth: oh well the average Ipod Touch user isn't going to want to do that, I expect [21:55] Amaranth: plus maybe that would even brake Appples warranty or whatever? [21:55] sebsebseb: after that you have to install an ssh server and then gpod can access it via ssh to do music [21:55] sebsebseb: Yep, totally voids the warranty [21:55] sebsebseb: it;s a modem [21:55] tmg1: also if you open synaptic and search for "circuit design" you'll come up with many references.. one is named electric [21:56] OlySoft-Dave: well, i might want to change my nick then, maybe it's just too generic :D [21:56] 3G modem [21:56] Amaranth: plus it sounds a little complacted [21:56] sebsebseb: So the 'legal' and 'sane' answer is virtual box. Or, more likely, "go back to OS X" [21:56] bro, didn't work, login won't load after splash still [21:56] bro: sorry man, was not intended for you. [21:56] Amaranth: yeah it's the standard Ipod that will work in Banshee, but the Touch nope? [21:57] Amaranth: braking the warranty isn't legal? [21:57] sebsebseb: where are U [21:57] sebsebseb: Not even the iPod Classic will work anymore, last I checked. Firmware updates broke it [21:57] zebastian: but the driver was removed? [21:57] sam1: I said I can't help [21:57] anyone know how to get the sound running on jaunty? just upgraded on my dell vostro 200 and cant hear a thing [21:57] sebsebseb: No, it's a DMCA violation [21:57] bro, the output looked as though it had done nothing [21:57] sebsebseb, amaranth: I think only old iPods will work. Apple changed their digital signatures on the song database a while ago so they would not work on Free Software any more. [21:57] Amaranth: my 5th gen works somewhat [21:57] sebsebseb: So it is legal for someone to do it but not legal for you to help them or give them tools to do it [21:58] Amaranth: oh [21:58] Anyhow, getting a bit offtopic now :) [21:58] zebastian: it has to say something, if it worked or not. you have the ati proprietary driver, right? [21:58] Amaranth: DMCA isn't global though? only USA I thought? [21:58] sebsebseb: Just tell them they can't do it [21:58] bro, the output looked as though there were no files removed or unpackaged or anythign [21:58] sebsebseb: Yes USA but US companies try to enforce it globally and most ISPs seem to be willing to go along with it [21:59] Amaranth: Ipod Touch = Virtualbox that makes sense, plus easier that way and all that [21:59] DMCA is USA and Australia only currently [21:59] my 5th gen worked to xfer files, but files with DMA wouldn't transfer [21:59] hi :) [21:59] Amaranth: oh [21:59] sebsebseb: do you have an ipod? [21:59] can anyone tell me how can i mount a fat or fat32 filesystem to my ubuntu 9.04, cause it says its a read only filesystem [21:59] seidos: no [21:59] zebastian: are you using the fglrx driver? cause if you don't, it can't uninstall it then [22:00] sebsebseb: I dunno why Guest got so PO'ed [22:00] bro, i don't know which i'm using, i had tried to switch back vesa and that didnt work [22:00] does Kismet support the D-Link WUA-1340? [22:00] jahas [22:00] seidos: If you stay in here long enough like I have, your likely to learn stuff about hardware that you don't actsualley have [22:01] seidos: if you have been in here enough times I meant. [22:01] zebastian: ok, look in the menu: system, administration, hardware drivers and tell me if the drivers there are active or not [22:01] sebsebseb: I'm trying to think of hardware that I've learned about that I don't own, but can't think of any [22:01] !fat32 | loldma> [22:01] loldma>: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [22:01] Hi.

[22:04] hi [22:04] bro the program fglrxinfo is currently not installed. you can isntall it by typing apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx [22:04] Crountwor: a little offtopic for #ubuntu, right? [22:04] I agree but I know there are wise people here to offer advice [22:04] zebastian: ok, so fglrx are not installed. get back to you in a sec, searching the net for smt [22:04] bye, thanx again :) [22:05] Crountwor, #ubuntu-offtopic might be able to help [22:05] bro, i will be right back i'm going to the corner shop for an external hard drive [22:05] Crountwor: well.. that doesn't really make it ok to spam the channel with any kind of questions.. go ask in #ubuntu-offtopic [22:05] Will do. No offense intended. [22:05] no one knows about wireless usb modems here [22:05] None taken [22:05] sam1: ?? [22:06] Bye all. [22:06] Question: I'm trying to read the man pages for the bash command "exec," but when I enter "man exec" I'm told there's no manual entry for exec. What gives? [22:06] wht's the problem? [22:06] sam1: ?? [22:06] Hello, anyone think they can help me? [22:06] Keep smiling. : ) [22:06] i do not no how to identfy it on ubuntui [22:06] fauxreigner: try man bash? [22:07] fauxreighner: what are you trying to do? EXECute a binary? [22:07] anyone know why i am getting usb hub errors about enumerating ports ? [22:07] sam1: what make and model? [22:07] sebsebseb: i don't remember using vesa anytime, but you can remove it with apt-get remove xorg-video-vesa, right? [22:08] fauxreigner: you can search the man pages by pressing / and then writing the search term.. try "/exec " with the extra space [22:08] sam1: I might be able to find information on the internet for you [22:08] I have a problem with Instant Messaging, more specifically the microsoft msn network. I tried using both pidgin and aMsn, and the same problem occurs. I login to my account without problems, and can see who's on/off, but when I try to send an instant message, it gives me a connection error. I don't know if I can receive messages either :/ [22:08] hi, for some reason java has decided to take up 100% of my CPU at all times and I can't kill it, even as root. anybody know what might be wrong? [22:08] bro: I don't know, maybe [22:08] fauxreigner: press / to search for the next occurence of the same term as the last search [22:08] !nick [22:08] Information about registering your nickname: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname .

[22:09] sebsebseb, actually it's on login [22:09] Mr_Giraffe: try killall -s KILL (process name) [22:09] Cynary, it comes back [22:09] I'm trying to play a WMV file and I have the video playing but no audio, anyone have any suggestions? [22:09] my computer isn't running slowly, but one of my cores is reading 100% at all times [22:09] kill -9 kills it but then it comes back, and regular kill just does nothing === treble541 is now known as treble54 [22:09] how do I run a cronjob every hour at random min ? [22:09] OlySoft-Dave: I'm trying to make a process created by fork() start executing a .cpp file. [22:09] Slart: man bash works; is bash equivalent to exec in a different distro? [22:09] Mr_Giraffe: have you tried using top? [22:10] seidos, yep [22:10] i found an IBM xSeries 236 server and want to install Ubuntu over the Red Hat it currently has. Has anyone here installed Ubuntu on a machine with Xeon processors [22:10] top doesn't kill it [22:10] but it does say it's taking up a cozy 100% of my CPU [22:10] fauxreigner: executing a .cpp file? :P [22:10] Mr_Giraffe: that means some process is calling it ... can you think of anything that could be on that uses java? [22:10] !medibuntu | treble54 [22:10] treble54: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org === joshu is now known as zhaozhou [22:10] Mr_Giraffe: have you tried pkill -stop processname? [22:10] fauxreigner: nope.. but exec is a bash command.. so it's described in the bash man page.. bash is the shell [22:10] Cynary, I use Freemind (mind mapping software), but that shouldn't be starting on boot [22:10] Mr_Giraffe: pkill -cont processname to resume the process [22:11] Hi to all... Does anyone have expiriance with MSI CR700 laptop and Ubuntu? A friend can't make wireless work on it. [22:11] fauxreigner: there is no actual 'exec' command. It is part of bash. Do a 'man bash' if you are using the bash shell for coding clues. [22:11] well that certainly did something [22:11] !who | Mr_Giraffe [22:11] Mr_Giraffe: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [22:11] Chousuke: grr, semantics [22:11] seidos, my bad === Jan5001 is now known as Ja500 === Ja500 is now known as Jan500 [22:11] treble54, when i wanted to play wmv. video i had to try medibuntu for the w32 codecs [22:11] ooh, I think I might know what might be happening... [22:11] fauxreigner: well, yeah. I don't understand what you want to do :P [22:11] histo, how do i update an expired key in apt? [22:12] sorry histo [22:12] * seidos is going to get some food [22:12] fauxreigner: executing C++ source code makes little sense, unless you have a C++ interpreter. And I'm not aware of oe. [22:12] one* [22:12] Mr_Giraffe: Have you tried stopping freemind, just to know if it's calling java? [22:12] Mr_Giraffe: if it sarts on boot then go to System>Preferences>Sessions and un"tic" that program [22:13] fauxreigner: Chousuke caught that, I didn't. Are you scripting or writing C++ source? [22:13] fauxreigner: oh.. hang on.. you wanted the man page for the c function exec? not the command line command exec? [22:13] Chousuke: It's a programming assignment for an operating systems class. Basically, I need to write a .cpp program that spawns two child processes, then the two processes have to communicate via a pipe. [22:13] fauxreigner: ah, right. [22:13] fauxreigner: use man 3 exec; man 3 fork; etc. [22:13] OlySoft-Dave, Slart: Yes - the execl() C command, actually. [22:13] hello, how do i update an expired apt key? [22:13] hello guys the network wizard is provided by gnome-network-manager itself right? [22:14] Cynary, actually I figured it out [22:14] fauxreigner: there is a way to make man search in programming resources.. something like man exec [22:14] thiebaude: bummer, I don't see that currently listed in synaptic (but its listed in medibuntu, and if there are issues with all the contents of medibuntu being included in the default list of packages then I probably should avoid it) [22:14] it's something java-dependent (duh) that I installed a while back [22:14] fauxreigner: section 3 of the manual contains the C functions. [22:14] Mr_Giraffe: Ok, so it's solved? Great [22:14] Cynary, found the uninstaller for it, should be good...

[22:14] fauxreigner: ah.. try "man 3 exec" then [22:14] treble54, its restricted [22:15] thiebaude: right [22:15] Slart, Chousuke: no success with man 3 exec [22:15] #remote-exploit [22:15] fauxreigner: do you have the developer man pages installed? [22:15] fauxreigner: do you have build-essential installed? :P [22:15] treble54, I am able to play all media with the exception of protected DVDs by just installing ubuntu-restricted-extras. That is all Free/Open source and not from medibuntu === defcon is now known as Guest9035 [22:15] Cynary, for the record: is there any way to see what processes are calling other processes?

Version 3.15-1 (jaunty), package size 1482 kB, installed size 3152 kB [22:16] fauxreigner: though if you just want to spawn child processes that communicate with each other, exec is not what you want. [22:16] fauxreigner: try running "sudo apt-get install manpages-dev" then try that man 3 exec again [22:17] OlySoft-Dave: ok I'll look into it, thx [22:18] Chousuke, Slart: neither of the packages were installed - downloading them now... [22:18] fauxreigner: most like you want man fork and man pipe [22:18] Mr_Giraffe: Not that I know right now, supposedly, it should be possible, but I don't know of any program (or arguments to any program to do that) [22:18] fauxreigner: either section 2 or 3 [22:18] 2 on mine, but I'm on OS X [22:18] likely* [22:18] Mr_Giraffe: If you really want to know, your best bet would be looking at the manuals for ps and kill, since there might be something there [22:18] Chousuke: I was planning on opening the pipe in the parent process, then forking, then calling exec and passing the file descriptors for the pipe in the exec calls. === cowgarden is now known as cowgarden_brb [22:20] Slart, Chousuke: Installing build-essential and manpages-dev worked, now I can pull up the man pages for fork and exec. Thanks guys. [22:20] fauxreigner: you're welcome.. good luck with your project [22:21] Samba question for you guys. I do NOT have a domain here at home, but I'm trying to figure out how I can set up Samba to authenticate the users based on XP user accounts instead of Samba accounts. Is there a way that user Bob (whos in the same workgruop as my Samba server) can automatically be granted access to his samba folder without having to log in each time he reboots? [22:21] Isn't it nice when your OS comes with the documents needed to make it better? [22:21] what people mean when say linux itself is writen in C ? are they talking about kernel ? [22:21] OlySoft-Dave, agree [22:21] Hello... [22:21] h4f: yes [22:21] h4f: I think Linux is the name for the kernel [22:22] is there a modulo tool in ubuntu? i want a random value between 0 and 58 .. echo $RANDOM gives a random number that i want to apply modulo on [22:22] erUSUL: so the whole kernel is writen with no OOP in mind ? [22:22] Roasted: saw your question, I haven't tried setting up samba in years [22:22] h4f: it is. They use C because it can compile a little more cleanly into machine code than C++. [22:22] h4f: linux *is* the kernel if you ask linux people [22:22] sebsebseb: so if ati drivers from hardware manager screwed my xserver, should i now install them manually from the website again? [22:22] so the whole kernel is writen with no OOP in mind ? [22:22] h4f: there is oop (to some extent) in the kernel but is coded in C [22:23] bro: probably not a good idea [22:23] h4f: the VFS uses OOP techniques. [22:23] !ati | bro [22:23] bro: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto === cvhansen is now known as Sumo-Ente === cowgarden_brb is now known as cowgarden [22:23] h4f: as do probably some other layers. but it's all C. [22:23] seidos - I found a tool in synaptic known as system-config-samba. It's simple, but great. I noticed there's an authentication section, which by default is set to "user" whcih explains why users here have to log in each time. But there's several options. Most of them I dont know, yet 1 is "domain". I dont have a domain though, so it'd be nice if I can somehow auto authenicate users based on their local login within their computer in t [22:23] he workgroup to my samba server. It'd just make things easier for me. [22:23] bro: and as I already told you there are ATI and 9.04 issues [22:23] h4f: it is in mind. They enforce it to a large degree for modularization. It just isn't enforce by the compiler [22:23] h4f: (or assembler code) [22:23] i have a weird bug in empathy it will always say im hidden even if i change the status to available it just always stays on hidden [22:24] Roasted: after giving it some thought, I'm not sure. maybe we should ask if a non-windows user can automatically authenticate even after they reboot [22:24] sebsebseb: ok, thanks, at least now i should be able to fix the xserver :P [22:24] !bugs | webbb82 [22:24] webbb82: 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 [22:24] but are they still using malloc calloc ... instead of new ? [22:24] seidos - everybody here uses XP... [22:24] or it some mix of c and c++ [22:24] :( [22:24] h4f: they can not use malloc nor free [22:24] zebastian: What about you, any luck? [22:24] h4f: They don't use C++. at all. [22:24] h4f: you don't need an OOP-oriented language to write OO code :) [22:24] h4f: they are in kernel layer no glibc aviable [22:25] h4f: and new/delete has nothing to do with OOP.

I can install samba on my server here, but it would take me awhile to see if what you're asking would work, right now, with users, regardless if they are ubuntu or xp users. [22:26] Chousuke: Yeap I told its c++ [22:26] h4f: lets move this to offtopic [22:26] h4f: you might want to come over to #ubuntu-offtopic if you want to discuss more about it. [22:26] h4f: the source code is there for you to look at [22:26] Chousuke: I told such complicated think should be in c++ not c [22:26] seidos - naw, dont sweat it. I was just curious if anybody knew offhand. Thanks for the offer though. [22:26] thank you and sorry [22:26] h4f: Ask any kernel dev and they would tell you that C++ would only serve to make it more complicated :D [22:26] analina, good luck [22:27] ayto /part [22:27] Roasted: maybe someone else can help, good luck [22:27] h4f: and there will be no C++ code in the kernel as long as Linus gets to decide. === digen__ is now known as digen [22:29] hi, if I do a chown command on ubuntu 9.04.

Thanks :) [22:49] n8tuser: check the hcl is all i can suggest [22:50] Need to instal the most recent GLIB (2.26) on Jaunty. Is there a way of doing though apt-get? [22:50] Buzzz: samba shares can easily be managed over ssh by editting /etc/samba/smb.conf and restarting the samba service, yuo can even use x forwarding [22:50] ActionParsnip-> an actual user insights is the best.. sharing of experience.. [22:50] OlySoft-Dave: not sooo important. it's only for convert a lot of mp3's on a server. i can live whitout a status-file [22:50] n8tuser: true, its very specific though. I doubt anyone has the exact model [22:51] l [22:51] So... you can'r run quotacheck on a mounted file system? [22:51] can't** [22:51] hey i have been wanting to try the new intel graphics drivers. i am on jaunty but i use normal ubuntu with a repo that has special eee pc kernels [22:52] Ok I got the i686 9.04 installed on a usb hdd. It boots on every computer I have put it on. The 3d acceleration is not on. If I installed the nvidia drivers for my home pc to get 3d acceleration working, but then use the hdd to boot up in anther pc that has a intel or ati card will the 2d grapichs work like in the live cd? Can I install ati nvidia and intel drivers so I will have 3d acceleration on any pc I use it on? [22:52] dfgas-> they have to have a separate eee pc kernel? am curious why? [22:52] can i put many urls in "wget" or it will download only the 1st one? [22:53] kurrata-> its so easy to put it in a file for the list of url.. just sayin.. :P [22:54] n8tuser, i need atleast the 2.6.30 to do it. um supposedly they fixed the intel drivers so they preform better [22:54] n8tuser i didnt understand what you meant with that [22:54] anyrandomname: not really. The driver has to be selected in the xorg configuration file and loaded at the start of X for acceleration. You would have to also change this file ever time you booted to a machine with a different video card. [22:54] Anyone: I've got a headless server (datacenter) running Ubuntu Server 9.04. It (seemingly) randomly stops responsing, usually once every day or two. I've looked through every log I could find (no patterns whatsoever) and searched for hours, I've come up with nothing. I've already disabled DHCP and uninstalled the client; there's no power management going on that I can find... [22:54] dfgas okay, thanks for the info, its good to know lil tidbits [22:55] n8tuser, :D [22:55] kurrata-> meaning to create a script. [22:55] n8tuser, scared about doing an upgrade to a alpha version on here [22:55] anyrandomname: you can install the drivers but you'll have to switch between them on each computer.. easiest is to switch to generic before shutdown making it easier on the next machine. All manual though.. [22:55] dfgas-> i would not touch beta either. [22:55] konane: sounds like hardware, or a network hub/router issue outside of the machine. [22:55] Hi, how do I install unstable and devel packages? [22:56] Can anyone tell me how to get grub2 to boot windows install by default? [22:56] OlySoft-Dave: I'll put in a ticket about that. It works fine after reboot from panel. Any other possibilities? [22:57] ComradeHaz-> is that grub2 for the newer or latest jaunty? [22:58] if Logs are not showing anything, then the machine is freezing from something very low level before anything can be written...or there is nothing wrong and you simply cannot access it. If it had a monitor/keyboard you could check out which is correct easily enough. [22:58] k0nane-> how long does it stop responding? and do you have to do anything drastic to make it recover? [22:58] n8tuser: 1.97 [22:58] OlySoft-Dave: So it would seem. The last thing written to syslog before boot is a cronjob keeping ZNC alive, but that's not the cause, as it runs every hour without issue. [22:58] ComradeHaz-> you may have to visit #ubuntu+1 [22:58] olysoft-dave: would it still work like it is now if i installed the nvidia driver. but i just would not get 3d in on other pcs? [22:59] n8tuser: As I can never 'watch' it happen I couldn't say when it stops, but it remains unresponsive until I reboot it. [22:59] k, n8tuser [22:59] Hi - i cant boot Ubuntu from a SATA drive on my HP Pavilion - it can be booted if i install GRUB on a IDE disk first - have anyone experienced this? [22:59] n8tuser k, i made script with bunch of wget lines. if i understand it corectly it will download 1st line then move on to next and so on... [22:59] anyrandomname: yes. I have a stick I have that same setup on. I avoid any support of ATI like the plague. [22:59] kurrata yes, each line will be executed [23:00] In addition to checking logs, I ran TIGER and Nessus. TIGER was clean, Nessus was close. [23:00] k0nane: are you on a WAN static IP or dynamic? [23:00] scunizi: Static. [23:00] n8tuser k, thx will see tomorow how much i messed up something so easy ;) [23:01] LiRXIS: are you sure your menu.list configuration is right [23:01] thank you [23:02] k0nane-> am not familiar with those two tools, do they do some kind of keep alive prove to an outside ip address? === snash67 is now known as snash_ [23:02] how do you change your hostname? [23:02] !hostname [23:02] Use hostname to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. Alternatively, use the gui at System > Administration > Networking on the "General" tab [23:02] n8tuser: No, they're vulnerability scanners. I noticed DList (if I recall correctly) entries in my Apache logs, and figured it would be wise to run a couple of scanners to ensure there wasn't anything blatently hackable that wasn't showing up. === xdemo|afk is now known as demo === demo is now known as xdemo [23:03] can anybody help me with a faulty internet 3945abg wireless card? [23:04] hi [23:04] If the card itself is faulty, not sure how much help we can be. [23:04] hI I WANT TO [23:04] k0nane-> you may have to run somekind of keep alive probing script and then you may be able to detect if it was the network thats getting blocked, or maybe its in your firewall rulez? [23:04] erk sorry [23:05] This appears to be networking only, syslog.0 shows a cronjob running Sep 14 7:50:01, followed by the restart at 7:50:15 in syslog. [23:05] Hi [23:05] n8tuser: No firewall rules except to route from 10.8.x (for my OpenVPN redirect-gateway). [23:05] how do i add custom modules to jaunty ubuntu [23:05] k0nane-> firewall rulez that limit the number of connect attempts perhaps? [23:05] it's faulty when using in ubuntu. it works perfectly fine with windows operating systems [23:05] I get all kind of bug reports wheni do a how to load module in ub untu :) [23:06] I want to do it the "Right" way instead of hacking a start script to load my custom module [23:06] enterusername: put the name of the module in /etc/modules [23:06] ok thanks that will work [23:06] enterusername: man modules [23:07] k0nane-> maybe you can show us your network layout ? a drawing that may show what devices are in between your box and the isp? lets see if we can brainstorm it [23:07] Anyone have any tips/tricks of recovering data from a harddrive that was running windows xp and apparently now has a corrupted partition table ?

[23:08] n8tuser: Any suggestions on keep alive scripts? Other than keeping the thing up, would they give me some useful diagnostic info so Ican fix the real problem? [23:08] danpandrea: ok check in internet for correct driver for your card [23:08] danpandrea: download them put them in this directory [23:08] sebsebseb BACK [23:08] I would like to replace GRUB with GAG. If I just install GAG, will that remove GRUB automatically? Or is this more complicated? [23:08] my screen brightness control does not work anymore. how can i restore the functionality? [23:08] zebastian: ok [23:08] edufelipe, not recommended to use apt-get, if you really want to experiment use dpkg and investigate all the dependencies yourself. [23:09] danpandrea: /lib/modules/2.6....your kernel/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ [23:09] ok [23:09] k0nane-> a simple ping perhaps? or netcat.. on your script, proving every so often, and if it doesnt get a response, you keep logging [23:09] sebsebseb i bought an external drive [23:09] will do [23:09] zebastian: How big in size? What make? [23:09] !brightness [23:09] Sorry, I don't know anything about brightness [23:09] danpandrea: the drivers are files that end with .ko [23:09] I'm trying to get a MP3 player to mount, it's listing under lsusb [23:09] Can someone help me with my xorg.conf file? [23:09] n8tuser: I must be dense... Keep logging what? And, ping out from the server, or ping the server from local? [23:09] durt: So I have to install from source? Is that any better than mixing them? [23:09] gqpolo: What's the issue? [23:10] sebsebseb samsung 360gb [23:10] danpandrea: so that might help you a bit when you put the drivers you have to restart [23:10] militantpotato: what make/model? [23:10] zebastian: ok [23:10] It was autodetected in Kubuntu, mounted automatically also, but not in gnome [23:10] k0nane-> yah pinging out of your server, if you dont get a response you log the time it happens. [23:10] edufelipe, not from source, just by hand so you know _exactly_ which packages you have installed/replaced. [23:10] thanks [23:10] militantpotato: did you leave it in during reboot? [23:10] OlySoft-Dave: sandisk m240 [23:10] danpandrea: you might have to delete old drivers from that dir that are not working [23:10] gqpolo: Why do you want to edit the config file? [23:10] durt: Thanks! I'll do it by hand. [23:11] I just installed fresh copy of 9.04 and i am stuck with vesa driver and i am getting very bad performance [23:11] OlySoft-Dave: no, havn't rebooted with it plugged in [23:11] sebsebseb, since i can't figure out how to get the x screen to load, i want you to help me, first i'd like your personal assessment and secondly your help copying everything from /usr onto the external harddrive [23:11] trying to install compat-wireless but i get errors [23:11] make[4]: *** [/home/defcon/compat-wireless-2009-09-14/drivers/net/wireless/b43/main.o] Error 1 [23:11] make[3]: *** [/home/defcon/compat-wireless-2009-09-14/drivers/net/wireless/b43] Error 2 [23:11] make[2]: *** [/home/defcon/compat-wireless-2009-09-14/drivers/net/wireless] Error 2 [23:11] Guest9035: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[23:13] sebsebseb, i have a laptop, compaq presario, the reason why all of this happened is because using the ati drive from the repos, i had trouble playing movies as they would get stuck [23:13] zebastian: ok [23:13] can anyone help me install compat-wireless [23:13] sebsebseb i have jaunty installed on there [23:13] sebsebseb, 24 hours ago, I was asked something related. That was also the last time i posted in this channel =) [23:13] zebastian: why copy everthing from /usr ? [23:13] I know that the ati driver wont work so i'm trying to tweak xorg.conf [23:13] qe2eqe: hmm?

You qe2eqe'd me. [23:14] zebastian: really all you need backed up is your data, and some stuff from /home if you want it, then you can re install programs on your clean install [23:14] beeman_nl: there might be, probaby isn't though [23:14] sebsebseb, your personal assessment: you think that it would be better for me to install hardy? [23:14] sebsebseb any ideas? [23:14] sebsebseb instead of reinstalling jaunty [23:14] zaggynl: for now yes, then you can try 9.10 when it's released as well [23:14] hi. big problem.

[23:15] zaggynl: ,but apparantly for these ATI issues 8.10 probably going to be like 9.04, with 8.04 being fine [23:15] !enter | [23:15] zebastian: no [23:15] : Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!

[23:15] zaggynl: messaged wrong one hmm [23:15] militantpotato: make sure you have it sensing what OS you are using. That command string should allow it to mount to any machine type. [23:15] sebsebseb is 8.04 the LTR? [23:16] k0nane-> well what you will be doing is basically narrowing it down, so if its external to your box, you may not be able to do much, but if it was inside yours, you may be able to track it down [23:16] zebastian: yes it's the LTS [23:16] gqpolo, I wouldn't have any idea on what to suggest changing [23:16] sebsebseb which will be the next LTS? [23:16] zebastian: 10.04 [23:16] hi. big problem. I have an outer usb hard disk 3 encrypted LVM partitions. One is /home which is encrypted again with ecryptfs. How can i access it?? (the luks LVM is mount successfully, but cant see /home because of the second enryption!!) [23:16] I've done TONS of searching been here for 10hrs [23:16] does anyone know how to setup an iptable firewall to allow nfs connections? I'm not that good at this stuff, just trying to figure it out. [23:16] OlySoft-Dave: already on that, Seems ubuntu detects it fine, just doesn't create a /dev/sd* file to mount with [23:17] zebastian: that's an idea [23:17] n8tuser: Alright. I'll look at running a script like that. I may also run a 'tail -F /var/log/syslog' from local SSH to get the last entry when it times out. [23:17] zebastian: instead of just installing 9.10 when it's released you can try from Live CD first [23:17] gqpolo, you have more patience then I do :) I just stayed with a version that works with the ati driver [23:17] and i cut and pasted some stuff and i'm getting no devices detected [23:17] zebastian: to find out if 9.10 will be better with your card or not [23:17] militantpotato: in a terminal please type- LSUSB and see if the device shows up. [23:17] what version is that? [23:17] !who | gqpolo [23:17] gqpolo: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [23:17] gqpolo, debian lenny [23:17] hi please 1 question, if you install a driver with apt-get, does it install like a usual module and autoset to load whenever is it needed, or does it follow a different procedure? [23:17] OlySoft-Dave: yep, Bus 001 Device 010: ID 0781:7430 SanDisk Corp. [23:17] sebsebseb, what if i install 8.04 and wait till the next stable LTS? [23:18] obiwan__: the former [23:18] qe2eqe: if you have ATI issues well 8.04 is probably the solution, and maybe 9.10 will be better when it's released [23:18] what windows mangges do u all use [23:18] ok thanks I will try that and see thanks halitech [23:18] thaks sebsebseb [23:18] gqpolo, if you want to stay with the ubuntu family, install 8.04 [23:18] sebsebseb: really! about the ATI thing? I had 9.04 and it was a real pain, I switched to another distro, couldn't handle going back to 8.04 [23:19] zebastian: I have a feeling 9.10 won't be that amazing realy, except having Ext4 by default :) not for upgrades though, and the conversion uhmmm, for the proper thing to to clean install apparantly [23:19] When is the FDE coming!!?? [23:19] ok thanx erUSUL , then all drivers work the same way :) that makes me happy, no exceptions at all ;) [23:19] and if you [ ls /dev/usb* ] you don't see it listed? [23:19] I have tried every distro and none so far work with all of my hardware [23:19] i'm trying mint next [23:19] obiwan__: no [23:19] shane2peru: Another distro and it worked hmm? By the way what distro was that? [23:19] OlySoft-Dave: Kubuntu would auto-mount it, switched to gnome last month, not sure why it's not seeing it. [23:19] shane2peru: I probably could have stayed with 8.04, but then, I was able to get a lot of fixed following how to's, web searches, forums, and #ubuntu :) [23:19] OlySoft-Dave: Gparted isn't showing it either. [23:19] shane2peru: indeed I woudn't want to go back to 8.04 now personalley [23:20] gqpolo, mint is based on ubuntu so chances are if it doesn't work in ubuntu, it probably won't work in mint [23:20] sebsebseb, ok here's what i'm going to do, i will log onto recovery mode and shell cli mode, then i will plug in the external drive and since i am not used to cli at all, i would love it if you could help me see if it's mounted the drive and how to copy all my files to it [23:20] I wanna encrypt my HD, but cant do it because of Ubuntu boot files. Are they fixing that in 9.10..when it comes out? [23:20] what do you mean by no erUSUL ? [23:20] sebsebseb: I switched to Suse, and no it didn't work, I still installed the proprietary stuff, but works better [23:20] shane2peru: if going back to anything 8.10, but 8.04 no thanks [23:20] hi. I have an outer usb hard disk with 3 encrypted LVM partitions. One of them should be /home which is encrypted again with the new ubuntu ecryptfs. How can i access it?? (the luks LVM is mount successfully, but cant see /home because of the second enryption!!) [23:20] obiwan__: no exceptions. [23:20] I'm at the end of my rope [23:20] erUSUL, hehe great :) [23:20] sebsebseb: I'd go back to 8.04 if I didn't have to use ndiswrapper for wifi [23:20] b0r15: you have to make a partiton for /boot without encryption, then it will work [23:20] boritek: I don't think whole /home/ gets encrypted. It's just ~/Private, isnt' it? [23:20] sebsebseb: there was too many hardware issues for me to go back too, intrepid had real problems, juanty helped, but still was a mess [23:20] what about Debian hailtech? [23:21] seidos: ndiswrapper as far as I know works in 8.04 as well [23:21] militantpotato: kde has some interesting abilities these days...but this is really not a gnome or kde function. Something else is different as well. === muelli is now known as Muelli [23:21] sebsebseb can i use wicd with 8.04 ? [23:21] zebastian: What's that? [23:21] zebastian: yes, you can. [23:21] zebastian: wicd isn't in the repos for 8.04 [23:21] shane2peru: yeah hardware issues :( and it's also, because of manufactures that don't support Linux properly yet or at all :( [23:21] sebsebseb: it does, but not as good as native drivers, I got native wifi drivers in 8.10 or 9.04, can't remember which [23:21] slt [23:22] sebsebseb: that was my problem, not taking a livecd with me to buy the laptop === edufelipe_ is now known as edufelipe [23:22] Omlet, shane2peru, can i enable the new repos for 8-04? [23:22] shane2peru: good idea, if they will let you try it on there === MK-ubuntu is now known as MK-BB [23:22] sebsebseb: I will next time, or I won't buy [23:22] :'( [23:22] sebsebseb, i have ati, but not issues. ;) [23:22] * sebsebseb is on a desktop, so doesn't have loads of hardware issues :) plus the card is Nivida [23:22] zebastian: New repos? I believe that you can find wicd on the developer's site, packaged for ubuntu. [23:23] qe2eqe: some ATI cards are better than others [23:23] Muelli: well, i can see nothing right now, in my home/$username except a README file about ecryptfs-mount-private and Acces-Your-Private-Data.desktop file [23:23] Full Disk Encryption..does anyone care!!?? [23:23] shane2peru: why not buy a laptop with ubuntu preinstalled? [23:23] hey, how can i switch users in Terminal? i use sudo login to login as other users, but then if i want to go back to a former user i have to close the current user, how can i login 5 users and go to the first without closing all the others? [23:23] b0r15: I do :-) [23:23] When is it coming back to ubuntu [23:23] I have a bit of a issue with printing. I have a Samsung CLX-2160, I have tried with the foo2qpdl driver, the Samsung unified printere driver and splix, however when printing a jpg image on the printer, it seems to want to send it to the printer in a very large file. A 2.8mb jpg file I was printing made a print job of 18mb. 47Mb of images became a 1gb print job. [23:23] OlySoft-Dave: found something http://pastebin.com/d12135086 [23:23] obiwan__: only way I know how is with screen [23:23] b0r15: just answered to you above [23:23] shane2peru qe2eqe should zebastian downgrade to 8.04 to fix ATI or what? [23:23] seidos: where I bought, didn't come with that option, I always buy with the 3 year gaurantee, and it has paid off every time, I live out of the USE [23:23] seidos, what you mean with screen? [23:23] boritek: well, but yuo do have your Volumes in /dev/mapper/? Have you tried to mount them? [23:24] n8tuser: I have noticed an odd pattern here. http://paste.ubuntu.com/271247/ What's odd is that that particular cronjob runs all day just fine, then it seems to freeze on the very last execution? [23:24] seidos, is screen a command? i don't get what you mean hehe [23:24] zebastian: sebsebseb what are you currently running?

Finally a voive..and Boritek. Ubuntu is so secure, but no FDE. Is it coming with 9.10? [23:24] obiwan__: there's a how to at this page for irssi and screen: http://quadpoint.org/articles/irssi#background/ [23:24] militantpotato: if the lsusb said it is device 10 then you should have a listing in /dev for /dev/usb?.10_ep?? where the ? are related to the usb port or the way the device is recognized. [23:24] seidos: out of the USA. :) [23:24] b0r15: yes :( No Full Disk Encryption from the installer. What a pity :( [23:24] ahh no i'm not talking about irc haha :P seidos [23:24] hi, is there a way to show the space/remaining space of a hdd/partition below the desktop icon (like in os x) with ubuntu + gnome [23:25] shane2peru: you can get preloaded systems shipped to you? what about craigslist? or something? [23:25] b0r15: Ahh, no. I don't think it's coming with 9.10 [23:25] i mean, in TErminal (aplications/acessories/terminal) [23:25] sebsebseb, i am on the recovery mode cli with networking enabled, i just plugged in the external hard drive and got the following out put: [ 124.000415] sd 8:0:0 [23:25] shane2peru: I should have bought a system preloaded with Ubuntu. would have supported the linux community that way [23:25] Muelli: sure, i could mount it successfully but it is only takes care of the luks enryption, but not the second time /home enryption [23:25] b0r15: at least I haven't seen it in the beta and I don't think it'd be a good idea to implement that right now. Time for testing got short [23:25] seidos: no, I mean I buy when I go back to the USA and get an international warranty through BestBuy, always pays off for me. [23:25] seidos: otherwise, that would be good options [23:25] zebastian: if xfix doesn't work, something is probably rather messed up, since you did a repo driver, and then also the offical driver and uh === tomek__ is now known as anahel [23:25] zebastian: altough I would have thought their driver would have removed the repo one [23:26] I know this is not the room for it, but I'm just wondering if anyone has used the linux gamers live distribution and might know how to fix the resolution. There are no active users in the proper channel for that distro, and it's all linux, so maybe somebody could help me here. If this is not allow, I apologize, and disregard it. [23:26] how is java in linux now ? [23:26] when you enter TErminal you are logged as your user$, but you can change to ther with sudo login, but then the only way i know to go back to the former is exiting (exit or ctrl +D ) the current one. [23:26] Crap, I heard it was.. I feel naked without truecrypt. I think in BT4 has it..based of Kubuntu 8.10..? If I downgraded could I get it? [23:26] homecable: good [23:26] all i can see under /home is the directory with my username and the two files under that, which i mentioned [23:26] boritek: things are getting weird. Help me wrap my mind around it. You do have your /home/ in an encrypted LUKS partition which you've eventually mounted? [23:26] shane2peru: I don't have a warranty. I avoid insurance when I can, time value of money [23:26] !ot | Loder3331 [23:26] zebastian: what one are you running? 8.10, 9.04?

[23:26] sebsebseb, i am on the recovery mode cli with networking enabled, i just plugged in the external hard drive and got the following out put: [ 124.000415] sd 8:0:0:0: [sdb] Assuming drive cache: write through [124] sd 8:0:0:0 [sdb] ASssuming drive cache: write through [23:26] shane2peru: he is on 9.04 with issues, also see the message I just sent him [23:26] I want to install the evolution-mapi package to use an exchange 2007 server, but it won't install because: http://pastebin.com/m7efc23db (on 9.10 a5) [23:27] anyone an idea [23:27] seidos: right, because I live out of the USA, it has paid off, all parts cost me more, and warranty covers them [23:27] shane2peru: well the two messages even [23:27] boritek: It's probably good to show me the output of mount.

[23:27] sebsebseb, i have given up fixing X, i want to copy all my files and then do a clean 8.04 install [23:27] zebastian: on the options at the bottom there should be xfix, that's what you want [23:27] Tead: what does apt-cache policy libexchangemapi1.0-0 say? Maybe that it's not packaged at all? [23:27] zebastian: did you install the proprietary driver? [23:27] which tells me info about accessing my data [23:28] hi, is there a way to show the space/remaining space of a hdd/partition below the desktop icon (like in os x) with ubuntu + gnome [23:28] sebsebseb i tried that before and it didn't work [23:28] zebastian: ok [23:28] Well someone should put FDE in the next version. Its one of the main things Ubuntu we are many needs for us paranoids..and [23:28] chrisology: desklets [23:28] we are many [23:28] sebsebseb, how do i go about seeing that the external drive is mounted and copying all my files onto it? [23:28] shane2peru: I think he first installed from the repo, and then the offical driver [23:28] ah, the package doesn't excist [23:28] b0r15: go, help and push it :-) [23:28] zebastian: don't ignore shane2peru they may be able to help you [23:28] Muelli: if i boot directly into the external usb drive than everything can be seen [23:28] scunizi i dont want it that way im looking for a way to do it like on os x, any ideaß [23:28] ? [23:29] i'm not ignoring him... [23:29] chrisology: I'm not sure if a package exists that does what you want [23:29] militantpotato: looks like it is being recognized...not sure why it is not mounting it. The error seems to be an issue with the usbfs...that would mean to me the device is not in it's MCS mode. [23:29] I will so that! how much time we have [23:29] zebastian: reply to him then :D [23:29] chrisology: I don't know how os x does it.. sorry.. I have no basis for comparison [23:29] i am on another laptop, a windows one so the client doesn't redden the letters when someone refers to me, so i have been paying attention more closely to you sebsebsebse [23:29] !who | zebastian [23:29] zebastian: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [23:29] zebastian: you installed the proprietary driver and now you are not able to boot? [23:29] I will do that I mean(If I can get the time) How much time til the the cutoff date [23:30] my laptop was working fine, compiz, etc, i had got the proprietary drivers on installation only then my computer would get mighty stuck if i played a movie after a while [23:30] sebsebseb: if he installed the proprietary one it would override the repo driver, and everything should be fine [23:30] so i came here and actionparsnip and someone else conviced me to go to ati/amd website [23:30] and since then my computer won't load x [23:30] erUSUL, testdisk successfully sees the partition structure... should i select "write partition structure to disk" to fix it?

But its been used by many people and if the structure that it gussed looks sane go for it.

I just want to change my resolution lol [23:33] anyone have any ideas on how much time is left to get apps okayed for version 9.10? [23:33] Muelli, that one gives me an error [23:33] Loder3331: it does more than dual screens [23:34] so do I just type it into console and go from there?

To choose another resolution? I don't see it there [23:37] Is there anything special one needs to do to get Ubuntu to see that you are passing it a seed file on a netboot install?

[23:38] rejohn: because the packagemanagement thinks that the package is already installed. Which it is, of course. It just doens't contain anything then. It's a PITA and I wished there was a different solution :( [23:38] ubottu, sorry i'm new but i can't explain in one line;) [23:38] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [23:38] I need help with my bluetooth keyboard. When I turn on ubuntu 9.04 I have to wait about 60 seconds after boot for it to enable the keyboard (which works fine directly during boot, with bios and grub). Linux isn't supposed to see that it is bluetooth, it should recognize it as a generic usb keyboard. [23:39] scunizi, so, any idea what i should do or how you can help me get it the mac way? [23:39] Muelli: here they are: http://pastebin.com/m1c809c7e [23:39] hi guys i have question if i install ubuntu new version is other new version will be avalible 2010 [23:39] shane2peru, sebsebseb, i might simply do a clean install of jaunty again and then if the issue comes up again we can deal with it [23:39] rejohn: FWIW: You *could* apt pin that packageto not install it all, but then you package management won't upgrade anything because dependencies could not be resolved. Gentoo has a good mechanism to deal with that btw. [23:39] AA28: Ubuntu makes a release every 6 months [23:39] ok [23:39] thanks [23:39] My greatest concern is for my files right now sebsebseb [23:40] zebastian: if it happened with the repo drivers, what is happening, is that your laptop overheated and locked up, happend to me several times [23:40] chrisology: there are some mac themes that might do it.. I'm out of suggestions at this point other than to restate what you're looking for for someone else to answer.. good luck :) [23:40] hi there [23:40] juli__: hi [23:40] shane2peru really...i din't know that, why does that happen? [23:40] zebastian: yeah this is why it's a good idea to have a seperate /home partition, makes re installing or changing distro even, a lot easier [23:40] zebastian: what you have to do is install the proprietary drivers correctly, because my laptop runs about 10 degrees C cooler with the ati drivers [23:40] shane2peru do i have to get more ram? [23:40] scunizi thanks for the help, ill keep asking arround [23:40] it's a fairly new laptop [23:40] rejohn: that package is coming from some ppa...?

I noticed the install file is a .exe and i know how well linux handles that ;) [23:43] zebastian: the compaq cq40 isn't listed on the site [23:43] This really good-looking female classmate of mine is an ubuntu expert. What are some cool ubuntu-related phrases I can say around her to catch her attention? [23:43] helo could some tell me how i could manually point a package to use other version of lib then its using now ? [23:44] zebastian: or did you want to message him? [23:44] zebastian: ok, did you already download the ati drivers from the web page? [23:44] zebastian: but my laptop isn't listed either...and it works, pretty much :) [23:44] Muelli: thanks I [23:44] sebsebseb i don't know he suddenly messaged me [23:44] rejohn: well, I don't know the dependency chain, so yeah that might work unless other packages depend on that packages. Given that you probably haven't installed that package yourself, another package already depends on that. So I really think it doesn't work. But it might though.

[23:45] jrib: i do have the kde 4.3 (4.4??) more recent updates repository in my sources.list, from some ppa probably, iirc. [23:45] shane2peru, can you helpm e back up all my files from the cli [23:45] zebastian: that is ok, from a prompt we can install the ati drivers you need [23:45] Want to re-install Ubuntu on my system but not sure if I should go with Jaunty again or give Karmic(alpha) a shot. Are they not going to pull the plug on Jaunty soon? Am I asking for trouble installing Karmic? .. just looking for adice [23:45] onto the external drive [23:45] juli__: video calls hmm using what? === ldflksdlkf is now known as foobiecakes [23:45] any thing similar as msn [23:45] shane2peru, ok i'm all ears [23:45] ? [23:45] zebastian: do you have an external drive or something? usb stick? [23:45] juli__: try AMSN if you want to do web cam [23:45] rejohn: I see. To answer your question, remove the package and see if apt warns you about anything else being removed [23:45] n8tuser -> i'll try to but i might be back if i cant figure out how. [23:46] zebastian: we can more than likely recover it as it is [23:46] Muelli: what is the wgetpaste? an irssi plugin or what? [23:46] shane2peru yes i have a samsung external 320 gb drive i just bought at the store [23:46] okay boritek. And do you want to access stuff in /media/LVM/topszalopsza? What does ls -l say on that directory? [23:46] zebastian, after you installed the ati drivers, did you run sudo aticinfig --initial ? [23:46] boritek: a program :) just google it if you have spare time [23:46] Halitech, nope, not that i can recall [23:46] zebastian, sudo aticonfig --initial sorry [23:46] yep i have that but only cam i can view!!! c'ant make video calls [23:46] zebastian it would be easy to copy you data over to that providing it isn't formatted in ntfs, but I'm about 95% sure we can get you booted back in, without re-installing [23:46] does anybody know how i can remove the title bar from all my windows in gnome? [23:46] This really good-looking female classmate of mine is an ubuntu expert. What are some cool ubuntu-related phrases I can say around her to catch her attention? [23:47] shane2peru, ok i'm at the shell prompt now, i think i have internet access and root privileges [23:47] zebastian, after installing the ati drivers you need to do that to get xorg setup correctly (its in the install guide ;) ) [23:47] ok, do you know where you saved the ati file you downloaded? [23:47] shane2peru, ok let's try to do what you say first [23:47] facugaich: hehehe [23:47] Is there any reason su/sudo would suddenly fail to work on a running system? Any way to fix this? [23:47] jrib, are you still here? [23:47] shane2peru: the with networking one uhmmm well the other one has Internet access, I am not sure what the networking one is for in fact [23:47] Muelli: no, topszalopsza is the owner and the owner group, folder name is boritek. i want to access that [23:47] Halitech, my bad...i was pretty much pasting commands actionparsnip had handed me over [23:47] CoJaBo-Aztec: in what way is sudo failing? [23:47] Loder3331: yes, use pastebin... [23:47] juli__: that's typically because the right ports on your router are not open so it blocks the video [23:47] I don't get how to use it [23:47] it didn't do anything [23:48] boritek: good. whats does ls -l on that directory say? [23:48] lstarnes: "Segmentation fault" [23:48] Loder3331: visit paste.ubuntu.com, it's pretty self-explanatory [23:48] shane2peru: yeah I think the standard recovery mode shelll gets Internet access to [23:48] zebastian, seems 95percent of the time, that command is missed (did it myself a few times) [23:48] zebastian: plug in your external drive and type: sudo fdisk -l [23:48] that's where I am === AskHL__ is now known as AskHL_ [23:48] CoJaBo-Aztec: did you recently update anything? [23:48] ive got a big problem, i have ubuntu 9.04 (64 bit) installed and for some reason it keep randomly losing network connection, i cant connect to it via ssh or even ping [23:48] now it says download as text, what do I do? [23:48] Loder3331: so paste what you want to show me, submit, give me url [23:48] http://paste.ubuntu.com/271256/ [23:48] lstarnes: Not recently, tho I think its set to auto-update. [23:48] sebsebseb: it would be better if it does, if not he will have to transfer files, [23:49] Muelli: http://pastebin.com/m3b469a2 [23:49] anyone had success with a Telstra broadband dongle [23:49] CoJaBo-Aztec: does sudo segfault, or does thing thing being run by sudo segfault? [23:49] zebastian: you will need to paste that in a paste bin so I can give you the proper mount command [23:49] shane2peru, this will take a logn time to type, the output, so can you tell me more or less wha ti should see, i see three boot devices, under [23:49] What version of (x-software-here) will be in Karmic Koala? [23:49] boritek: and ls -ld /media/LVM/boritek/.Private? [23:50] lstarnes: Typing even sudo -i or sudo echo segfaults. [23:50] Reilithion, whatever the devs see fit to put in [23:50] the listed ones /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2 /dev/sda5 [23:50] zebastian: ohh, right, no internet, ok, the last one should be your external hdd, should be sdb or something like that [23:50] shane2peru [23:50] Halitech: What I'm asking is, is there a way for me to find out? [23:50] boritek: if it exists, you might want to read the manpage of ecryptfs and try to mount /media/LVM/boritek/.Private. the readme might help you as well: http://ecryptfs.sourceforge.net/README [23:50] CoJaBo-Aztec: I'm not sure what could be causinf that [23:50] jrib: thanks for suggestion to see about any warnings when i remove the package. :) [23:50] zebastian: ok, was the external hdd plugged in? [23:50] how can i check my ip or ruter ip with ubuntu? [23:50] Did you see the url jrib? [23:50] Reilithion, whatever is in karmic will probably be what they release it with [23:50] shane2peru at the very bottom there's device boot, /dev/sdb1 w95 FAT32 [23:51] zebastian: all the sda stuff is your internal hdd [23:51] lstarnes: The last thing I tried to do was delete a printer, CUPS appearently crashed and I discovered the problem while trying to restart it. [23:51] !list [23:51] This is not a file sharing channel (or network). If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [23:51] Loder3331: show the command you tried [23:51] zebastian: that is it. :) [23:51] Halitech: Okay, how do I see what version of a package is currently in Karmic? [23:51] Reilithion, you could ask someone in #ubuntu+1 [23:51] zebastian: ok we are going to mount it with this: mkdir /media/disk && mount /dev/sdb1 /media/disk [23:51] shane2peru great, i'm with you [23:51] xrandr --output LVDS --mode 1024x768. And I also tried replacing LVDS with HDMI to see if that worked. Neither did anything [23:52] juli__: There's the connection settings if you right click the network icon in the upper right. Otherwise, via the terminal, ifconfig [23:52] Loder3331: well neither of those were listed in your xrandr output [23:52] I tried 800x600 too [23:52] Reilithion: you can join the mailing list @ https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/karmic-changes to see what changes they make, there is also a list of perviously announced changes there [23:52] Thanks, norstrom [23:52] np [23:52] Loder3331: you have to pass the name of the screen as argument to --output. To find out the screen names, simply run xrandr -q. It might be "Screen 0" or something. [23:53] thanks lobertdos [23:53] Loder3331: (just a guess though :) ) [23:53] If I install Karmic now and keep up with upgrades etc will my system pretty much be the same as the stable release in October. [23:53] Loder3331: you need to actually read the links I gave you please [23:53] is this the default repos deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jaunty main restricted universe multiverse [23:53] zebastian: did it mount [23:53] I did [23:53] LucidGuy: yes. pretty much. [23:53] bobertdos......thanks [23:53] Loder3331: not just search for commands and copy and paste them without understanding [23:53] tuxxy: I think so [23:53] shane2peru i entered that no output [23:53] shane2peru i don't know, how do i check? no output [23:53] juli__: you're welcome [23:53] I read it and that's what I got from it [23:53] Is there any way to become root when sudo is broken or find out why sudo is broken? [23:54] CoJaBo-Aztec: how about su? [23:54] zebastian: no output means it mounted, you can see it with this: mount [23:54] CoJaBo-Aztec: an error message would be a nice start to find out ;-) [23:54] CoJaBo-Aztec: there is also a recovery mode available from the grub menu [23:54] CoJaBo-Aztec, check here http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [23:54] Muelli: .Private exists, tx. My problem is that on there is a .Private on the host system and on the outer usb drive too. [23:54] shane2peru do you want me to enter mount into the prompt? [23:54] Loder3331: hint: your output's name is "default" [23:54] CoJaBo-Aztec: but yes, in general it should be possible to root your machine once you have physical access. You could boot in rescue mode and get yourself a root prompt f.e. [23:54] zebastian: or, you can do: ls /media/disk/ === naruto is now known as Guest78520 [23:54] First, I need to safely shut down the system tho. [23:54] Is it safe to say that Jaunty/Karmic will support newer hardware then 804 LTS ? [23:55] LucidGuy: yeah [23:55] I have a problem with Wicd where it connects to my wireless(can access other computers on LAN etc) but i dont get internet. Anyone familiar with this problem? [23:55] zebastian: yes at the prompt [23:55] LucidGuy: yes [23:55] [14231745.575965] cupsd[18805]: segfault at 0 ip b7611b0b sp bfa26a70 error 4 in pam_smbpass.so[b75b5000+12a000] [23:55] shane2peru YAY! [23:55] boritek: read the ecryptfs' manpage. You can, of course, mount other ecryptfs' as well. [23:55] [14231845.871838] sudo[9067]: segfault at 0 ip b7c5db0b sp bfe80410 error 4 in pam_smbpass.so[b7c01000+12a000] [23:55] ^from dmesg [23:55] zebastian: do you have any data on the drive? [23:55] shane2peru it's mounted!!! [23:55] shane2peru nope i just bought it [23:55] CoJaBo-Aztec: I think it could be a PAM bug based on that [23:55] zebastian: ok run: mkdir /media/disk/mybackup [23:55] CoJaBo-Aztec: rebooting may fix it, but that's just a hunch [23:55] Do they not keep updating Hardy since its a LTS? [23:55] lstarnes: How do I reboot? [23:56] jrib: Okay I got it, thanks. Is there a key combination that I can press to open a terminal prompt on my other distro when I go to fix this? Because I can't navigate to the terminal because of the resolution. [23:56] LucidGuy: they do, but only security updates [23:56] LucidGuy: they do update it [23:56] zebastian: and then to copy all your data off, run: cp -frv /home/username/* /media/disk/mybackup/ [23:56] boritek: i.e. mount -t ecryptfs /mnt/dev /mnt/dir -o key=passphrase:passfile=~/my_ecryptfs_password with adjusted paths of course [23:56] LucidGuy: like standard releases only security updates from the repo [23:56] !lts | LucidGuy [23:56] LucidGuy: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Hardy (Hardy Heron 8.04). The next LTS release is scheduled to be 10.04 [23:56] LucidGuy: but mostly just for bugfixes and security patches [23:56] zebastian: and watch the sparks fly. :) [23:56] zebastian: did you install ubuntu 64bit? [23:56] CoJaBo-Aztec: CTRL+ALT+DELETE for example. [23:56] Loder3331: one does not exist by default on gnome, you can try alt-f2 to get a run prompt and then typing "gnome-terminal" though [23:56] CoJaBo-Aztec: you could use the magic sysrq === nicholas is now known as Guest39940 [23:57] shane2peru hold on i'm a slow type on lateral computers adn now i believe i''m on 86 [23:57] shane2peru: what does -frv stand for? [23:57] Muelli: tx, i'll try [23:57] Okay I'll try that and I guess I'll come back if it doesn't work, thanks. [23:57] So how long to they put out security updates for non LTS versions? [23:57] sebsebseb: -f is force, -r is recursive, and -v is verbal [23:57] shane2peru: ah ok [23:57] LucidGuy, 18 months [23:57] !9.04 | LucidGuy [23:57] LucidGuy: Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) is the current release of Ubuntu. Download: http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.04/ - Release Info: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/904 - Please use !torrents [23:58] hmm .. I have Intrepid at work and it still gets the odd update. [23:58] LucidGuy: oh it didn't say there ok [23:58] shane2peru, sebsebseb -v is for verbose [23:58] hello. i'm running from the 8.01 live disc to try to see if my HD is working. how can i try to mount it from a live disc session? [23:58] anyone know why i get permission denied (using sudo) when i do echo min_power > /sys/class/scsi_host/host0/link_power_management_policy [23:58] LucidGuy: 18 months of support on the desktop, 3 years on the server [23:58] Halitech: oh, right verbose, not verbal :) lol [23:58] Halitech: ah ok :) [23:58] LucidGuy: it's still supported [23:58] shane2peru, same idea though ;) [23:58] hello, i am using ubuntu as guest on virtualbox....i am using bridge networking to connect with host (vista) i can get an ip from my router but i can not browse or even ping the router. [23:58] please can someone help me [23:58] LucidGuy: and will be until april 2010 [23:58] scott_ino2: let me try the command [23:59] shane2peru, it's copying everything!!!!!!!!!! [23:59] ramis12: it's probably ended up on a different subnet [23:59] zebastian: that is what you wanted right? ;) [23:59] Im still trying to decide between Jaunty Karmic [23:59] seidos, ty [23:59] ramis12: I hope your only doing this to get a feel for Ubuntu, and will then put it on for rea after 9.10 is out :) it gets released on October 29th [23:59] Hi. I am very much in doubt if the ATI FireMV 2400 PCI is supported on ubuntu - that is, enables me to use all 4 monitors. I have done some searching on hardware support lists, but I' having trouble determining anything. Can anyone help/point me in a direction? [23:59] ive got a big problem, i have ubuntu 9.04 (64 bit) installed and for some reason it keep randomly losing network connection, i cant connect to it via ssh or even ping [23:59] ramis12: put it on for real above [23:59] LucidGuy: karmic has not been fully released yet, but it will likely be stable enough within a couple of months [23:59] I love ubuntu but my company is a freaking winHEAD [23:59] LucidGuy: its release is targeted for late october [23:59] zebastian: ok, do you remember what file you downloaded from the ati website? you got the x86 one for your card right?
