lookyasohe all i am connecting to a Ubuntu box from XP using VNC however when click on an applications no action is observed from the XP end, however the activity is actually taking place on the ubuntu box real time (hope that makes sense) any ideas why this might be happening?00:26
ndrwcCan someone explain what the point of backports and updates are?00:27
LjLndrwc: having updated packages, i guess?00:27
Blizzerandlookyaso : Not as a virtual machine , right00:27
lookyasoBlizzerand: no00:27
ndrwcLjL, one would think so... so why am I being told "sorry you can't get updates you'll have to use a PPA"?00:27
lookyasoBlizzerand: that is you are correct00:28
LjLndrwc: i don't know, but i know that Updates only carries fixes to serious bugs, and Backports only carries end-user packages which are unlikely to break anything else when installed and which are in the next (development) version00:29
Blizzerandlookyaso : hmm nevr had any of such probs00:29
=== rumphole is now known as deacon
DopeGhotindrwc: what are you trying to get updates for?00:29
lookyasoBlizzerand: i can see my ubuntu desktop but when i click on Applications it does not drop down but on the actual ubuntu box it drooped00:29
ndrwcLjL, DopeGhoti so if a package has been updated for Karmic one could expect it to be backported to Jaunty? it's the nvidia drivers00:30
lookyasoBlizzerand: dropped* thanks anyway00:30
RyielHey, any idea what i should install to get firefox to play youtube videos?00:31
LjLndrwc: no, not necessaily. a video driver is hardly an end-user package that's unlikely to break other stuff (actually, quite the contrary)00:31
acwilanhi, anyone has installed somehow internet explorer in ubuntu? I am a Web developer and need to test my sites on FF/IE/Safari/Opera/Chrome00:31
ndrwcLjL, but it's a system-critical package and the manufacturer has released a new version to fix critical bugs00:32
kazzyacwilan: "ies4linux" can possibly do it, but it doesn't seem to work with modern IE versions00:32
LjLndrwc: if anything, that will end up in Updates.00:32
acwilan@kazzy thanks... i'll check it out00:32
Blizzerandlookyaso : try updating ubuntu system first00:33
ndrwcLjL, ok, wherever. Is there a page somewhere which explains the difference between backports and updates and whatever?00:33
bigjockeracwilan, i use ies4linux to install most of IE versions without issue00:33
LjLndrwc: i have just explained it, but yes00:33

DopeGhotiIf I wanted to poke around in Karmic in a VM, which VM infrastructure would be a good one to use?00:34
PiciDopeGhoti : Please join #ubuntu+1 for Karmic/9.10 support/discussion.00:34
PotterT|VFDopeGhoti: vbox00:34
bigjockerDopeGhoti, virtualbox00:34
ndrwcLjL, so where do PPAs fit in?00:34
LjLndrwc: PPA is just a personal tool for building one's own packages.00:35
ndrwcthey seem completely out of that loop00:35
bigjockerDopeGhoti, ubuntu runs quite well in virtualbox00:35
DopeGhotiPotterT|VF, bigjocker: thanks. Pici: Jaunty is my host OS, so it counts here too ;)00:35
LjLndrwc: whether you want to use someone else's PPA for some reason, well, that's entirely at your own risk00:35
ndrwcLjL, right, I don't :) but it was suggested to me that that's what I needed to do....00:35
LjLndrwc: it might be, if you really want or need the updated driver now.00:35
LjLndrwc: that doesn't make it a good idea, but it might make it the only possible thing to do.00:36
PotterT|VFany one know how can I switch off compiz in jaunty via a ssh terminal and make it affect a currently running desktop session?00:36
xanguaPotterT|VF: metacity --replace ¿00:37
ndrwcLjL, well I've attempted to request a backport / update / whatever... but a lot of the documentation on how to do that comes from a developer perspective, not an end user perspective00:37
ihatebootloadersHello!  I need someone to give me a hand with installing GRUB on to the root partition of a fakeraid, and setting it up.  Currently the LiveCD or Alternate install don't allow a proper install with the bootloader installed to the root partition.00:37
PotterT|VFxangua: that wont work via ssh, it wants an X session00:37
LjLndrwc, you could in theory do two things: 1) report a bug about the driver, 2) request a backport. in reality, neither thing is going to work anyway00:37
PotterT|VFi'm suffering from the "compiz breaks vino" bug and cannot control my desktop remotely00:38
kazzywhy would you be wanting to replace the window manager if you don't have an X session00:38
LjLndrwc: that's because 1) Ubuntu developers haven't really any control on the driver, since it's a closed-source driver and it's hard to ever check for regressions, and 2) this wouldn't really apply for backports (and you can't directly request an Updates update)00:38
Thocrun#debian-games00:38
kazzyPotterT|VF: do you need to kill off compiz remotely? you surely can do: DISPLAY=:0 metacity --replace &00:39
ndrwcLjL, so you're saying that once a package is out there it's out there for good???? How come multiple versions of the NVIDIA drivers exist then?00:39
PotterT|VFkazzy: let me try00:39
LjLndrwc: not always, but in the case of the nvidia drivers, yes, pretty much.00:39
DougMis it possible to change the Ubuntu boot up screen?00:39
kazzyPotterT|VF: but it's an odd thing to request. just turn off the X server00:39
DopeGhotiDougM: yes.00:39
kazzyPotterT|VF: i.e. do sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop00:40
PotterT|VFkazzy: i have control now via rdp, thanks!!00:40
DougMDopeGhoti: do you know of a site online where I could find different themes?00:40
kazzyPotterT|VF: ah, yw. glad that works00:40
PotterT|VFkazzy: i would have lost the vino session00:40
kazzyaha00:40
LjLndrwc: by the way, other people may suggest using "envyng" rather than using PPA packages.00:40
Lamowhat do you call the user agent switcher at the top right on Ubuntu? Mine crashed and wont load on boot anymore.00:40
DopeGhotiDougM: http://news.softpedia.com/news/Change-Ubuntu-Bootsplash-Theme-55237.shtml00:40
kazzydidn't realize you were using rdp though, thought you were using X over ssh00:40
DougMDopeGhoti: cool thanks a lot.. appreciate it00:40
ndrwcLjL, ok, suppose I take the position that I trust NVIDIA enough to buy their hardware and use their drivers. Is it really so hard for the Ubuntu package to be updated to reflect that? Anyway I suppose I can try envy again but I thought that checked the repos...00:41
PotterT|VFkazzy: heh, no worries, thanks for the help!00:41
kazzyLjL: Envy? I'd suggest just upgrade the thing. Haven't needed envy in ages00:41
obiwan__please anybody has a new computer (up to 1,5 years) with broadcom wifi chipset not using wifi now?00:41

ihatebootloadersHello!  I need someone to give me a hand with installing GRUB on to the root partition of a fakeraid, and setting it up.  Currently the LiveCD or Alternate install don't allow a proper install with the bootloader installed to the root partition.  apt-get install grub puts it somewhere, but nothing in /boot other then the kernel images.  grub-install /location/of/partition returns "does not have any corresponding BIOS drive."00:41

ndrwcTiggers, ctrl+pageup00:43
amageeTiggers: shift+left, shift+right00:43
LjLndrwc: you need to file a bug explaining what's wrong with the drivers. my bet, though, is it'll be marked as fixed in the next version.00:43
tonyyarussoTiggers: alt-num00:43
amageeoh oops i was thinking konsole00:44
kazzyndrwc: well, you can always just install the nVidia drivers from the package, though that's not supported00:44

LjLndrwc: you have at least two reasonable options: using envyng and making your own backport00:44
LjLndrwc: both are unsupported, but there you go.00:45
kazzywell, so is nVidia's binary installer, right?00:45
ndrwcLjL, actually I just tried envyng and it still came up as 18000:45

ndrwcIf karmic was out I'd agree with your suggestion of "use karmic it's never going to happen". But it's not.00:46

ubunterhow should I make seperate launchers on the top bar to turn apache2 on/off?00:47
LjLkazzy: easy enough, you get the source package from Karmic and rebuild it.00:47

DougMim trying to install start-up manager but keeping getting this error in my Package Installer: "Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: python-support(>=0.90.0)".  Is there a way to just install it through terminal?00:47
LjLndrwc: uhm, i'd have imagine it would support such a relatively old release.00:48
DougMnvm i figured it out00:48
ndrwcLjL, also, there's an entry in the changelog taht reads "automatic backport" for Intrepid. What gives?00:48
LjLndrwc: automatic backport of what?00:48

harisundSo I want to use Gnome / Ubuntu. Please don't tell me to use xubuntu or LowMemoryBuntu or whatever ..but I would like to reduce the memory footprint. Any suggestions? Use a different window manager?01:16
DopeGhotiyitz_: getting a bit offtopic, write yourself a TSV or CSV appointment list, and cook up a script to parse 'cal' and/or 'date' to tell you if anything's coming up01:16
yitz_DopeGhoti: Possibly. This looks like it might go somewhere: http://freshmeat.net/projects/pal01:17
BrianTMharisund: you could try using Openbox instead of Metacity as your WM, but if your willing to reinstall, you could do a minimal Gnome install from the mini ISO01:17

BrianTMest of luck01:30
Irvingthank you01:30
Irvingevery OS install i did with cds got messed up, even the new XP one has many DLL errors01:31
Irvingbut at least i can fix those01:31
Irvingonly ubuntu, installed from thumb drive is working01:31
Irvingor fully working01:31
BrianTMwould a dodgey cd drive give you dll errors?01:31
BrianTMor do you mean missing files during the install process?01:31
Irvingidk, but maybe some of them weren't copied01:31
Irvingno it looked like a clean install01:32
Irvingbut i had multiple other bad installs from good cds01:32
BrianTMI cant be sure, but I doubt thats from a dodgey cd drive01:32
Irvinggood kubuntu cd, wouldn't install, good ubuntu cd, wouldn't install, and a different xp cd wouldn't do it either01:32
BrianTMI thought xp install would fail if there were missing dlls, or at least prompt you01:32
Irvingyea me too, it didn't say anything though01:33
Irvingmaybe its ok01:33
BrianTMhopefully01:33
Irvingother than a few dll errors on boot, its runing fine01:33
BrianTMyou should clone the drive once you have it up and running, but before you install extra software01:33
Irvingbut even just now, i couldn't load ubuntu live off cd01:33
BrianTMso you can just restore the partition instead of reinstaling xp next time01:33
Irvingyea thats a good idea01:33
Irvingalright i'll be back, reinstalling grub wish me luck01:34
BrianTMClonezilla live cd will do that for you. thats what I use anyway. Loadds of options oout there for cloning01:34

Wickedis it safe to rm -rf a linux-source directory in /usr/src? i compiled a kernel and now that folder is using around 5 gigs of space....and on a 10 gig hard drive...thats *alot* of space to have wasted01:55
BrianTMthinking... :/01:55
Irvingi see what you said, it makes sense it should have been hd (0, 2) but now the empty file is a problem01:56
JeruvyWicked: if you are in the directory in question it would be ok, or specify it in the rm command01:56
Irvingmaybe i should redo the top part for installing grub01:56
|rt|does the video on this post work for anyone? http://www.sharms.org/blog/2009/09/16/creating-a-virtual-machine-using-ubuntu-kvm-builder/01:57
WickedJeruvy, so its safe to rm that directory?01:57
BrianTMsudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst wont work for you from the live thumb, as your editing the live's menu.lst... not the important one on your hd. When you reinstaled grub that should have made your pc boot straight back into your hd ubuntu install01:57
BrianTMyou sure its on the first partition? you can open the partition editor in the live thumb to doublecheck01:57
JeruvyWicked: if you don't want it, sure.01:57
BrianTMSo yes, redo the top part of the tutorial, then reboot your system with the thumb drive and any cds removed01:58
Wickedwell i was just unsure as i noticed that /usr/src/linux is a sym link to the directory using al the space. i know i needed to make the sym link to compile the kernel....but was unsure if it needed to remain.01:58

Irvingno the first time i did the first half of tutorial02:04
AdamDVThanks02:04
Irvingi'm pretty sure I used hd(0,1) with those two commands02:04
BrianTMso it gave you grub and didnt error, and you got into your hd install?02:05
Irvingyes02:05

ubottujustin-: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines. Enjoy your stay!03:03
justin-Seb this is me I am using Linkinus03:03
losherIdleOne: did you change the encoding options? Not all combinations are valid...03:03
IdleOnelosher: I went with the default03:03
justin-I was the idiot u were just talking too lol03:03
sebsebseb!idiot |  justin-03:04
ubottuSorry, I don't know anything about idiot03:04
losherIdleOne: once you get it going, you can experiment with different settings (if you have the patience)...03:04
sebsebsebjustin-: uhmm03:04
sebsebsebjustin-: there's one for not calling people noobs in here,  so I was thinking maybe for idiot to,  but calling yourself it hmm03:04
IdleOnelosher: well I just want to get this dvd ripped and will take it from there :)03:04
spursncowboysWhat log will show me who is using my wifi?03:05
spursncowboysdaemon?03:05
Irvinglol sebsebseb, the bot has a command for someone "noob" calling?03:05
IdleOneIrving: the term noob is insulting to some03:06
sebsebseb!noob |  Irving03:06
ubottuIrving: Acronyms or statements like noob, jfgi, stfu, or rtfm are not welcome in this channel. Period.03:06
Irvinghaha nice03:07
justin-Sorry Sebestian if I was being a jerk03:07
sebsebsebjustin-: heh no you weren't03:07
spursncowboys#ubuntu-beginners-help03:07
sebsebsebjustin-: you were off topic before though03:07
n8tuseris there an easy way at all to map key combination  alt_right+y   to echo a string lets say "hello world"  ?03:07
Irvingn8tuser: you may want to see, i think I say a firefox extension for something like that03:08
SeligArkinOk, what on earth keeps changing my hostname? It is also breaking /etc/resolv.conf - it keeps resetting my hostname to localhost.localdomain for some reason, dispite /etc/hostname saying otherwise.03:08
justin-Ok I know with SuSe you can install apt get manage can you do the same thing for Ubuntu and woud it even be worth while03:08
losherIdleOne: Understood. Since it takes ages to transcode a full dvd, you can experiment with transcoding short sections of the dvd quickly to see what effect different settings have by using the 'frame range' under 'general options' in the transcode tab. A range might be e.g. 1000 to 2000 is 1000 frames i.e. about 30 seconds of video....03:08
sebsebsebjustin-: apt get manage ????  what are you on about03:09
sebsebseb!apt |  justin-03:09
ubottujustin-: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome), !Adept (KDE) or !KPackageKit (KDE)03:09
justin-manager03:09
justin-package tool03:09
sebsebsebdidn't want the bot to do that03:09
sebsebsebjustin-: I thought Suse used yum?03:09
n8tuserSeligArkin-> look in /etc/hosts03:09
justin-SuSe use Yast package manager03:09
sebsebseb!yast |  justin-03:10
ubottuSorry, I don't know anything about yast03:10
sebsebseb!yum03:10
ubottuUh, don't you mean !apt ?03:10
sebsebsebjustin-: there's apt and synaptic a GUI for it03:10
sebsebsebjustin-: in Ubuntu03:10
justin-I tend to call things the wrong things alot..  Atleast I am not one of those people that thinks the Monitor is the computer.lo03:11
sebsebsebjustin-: and   the add/remove GUI as well which can't do as much as synaptic by a long way03:11
histo!botabuse | sebsebseb03:11
ubottusebsebseb: Please investigate with me only with "/msg ubottu Bot" or in #ubuntu-bots.  Search for factoids with "/msg ubottu !search factoid".03:11
sebsebsebhisto: it might look like it, but I disagree03:11
justin-I know I was just wondering if you unpackage .RPM files or can you install a package manager like YaSt to d it?03:11
SeligArkinn8tuser: I take it its the line to add localhost, correct? qwhatever it is that it butchering my hostname also butchers /etc/hosts  and it is driveing me mad03:12
sebsebsebjustin-: ah ha I see03:12
mimiloonhi everybody, is there an app for linux to open "OneNote" files?03:12
sebsebsebjustin-: ok  Ubuntu  uses  DEB instead of  RPM,  no not Debian Debs,  Ubuntu Debs03:12
n8tuser!hostname | SeligArkin03:12
ubottuSeligArkin: Use hostname <somehostname> 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" tab03:12
sebsebseb!debian |  justin-03:12
ubottujustin-: Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu!03:12
EnissayHi guys, im having vlc runing in two separated windows, how can i fix that please? -Jaunty-03:12
mrlexxhey there all03:13
sebsebsebjustin-: there is also  Alien  which can convert a RPM into a  DEB, it is also apparantly dangerous,   but  that's apparantly not true,  according to some people,  that have used it and that03:13
sebsebseb!alien |  justin-03:13
ubottujustin-: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported)03:13
justin-repositories for Debian should not be used for ubuntu thats weird I thought ubuntu was a Debian fork... I had no problem installing YaSt on SuSe03:13
zebastianhelp i plugged my camera in and it recognized it but i am not sure if it's mounting right, i think i have acceess to the camera memory but not to the  memory card, is there a way to check if it's mounted and otherwis3e mount it?03:14
mrlexxis there a utility for proxy bouncing available for ubuntu?03:14
sebsebsebjustin-: yes it's based on Debian, but there are quite a few differences here and there03:14
=== caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log
sebsebsebjustin-: as a result you don't use Debian DEBS on Ubuntu  instead you use Ubuntu DEBS03:14
=== halberd_ is now known as halberd
llmlAnyone: I am using this irc web interface to talk here. i'd rather use irssi to connect to freenode. the case is i'm now behind a http proxy. how i can go pass it with a irc client like irssi?03:14
IdleOnejustin-: ubuntu is not a fork of debian. it is based on debian03:14
szczymhelo all i have following problem: i use ubuntu 8.04.3 server on p4 with 720 mb ram, i have only 2 copy processes over sshd (sshfs) and one cp from local ntfs disk to local ext3 (other disk). all system is very slow, i have 4.05 in top and its not very responsive. the cp process is 500 KB/s but should be 5MB/s. in top the moust intensive process is sshd with 0.3 cpu and mount.ntfs with 0.2 cpu. system is using only 200k of swap. could some one tell me how03:14
szczymi could diagnose its problem ?03:14
mimiloonis there a linux app to open "OneNote" files?03:15
sebsebsebmimiloon: maybe, but you can probably also  use OneNote rather nicely in Wine03:15
SeligArkinn8tuser: There is no System > Admininstration > Networking03:15
beachbrakemy left speaker of the laptop is producing a 'tuk-tuk ' sound whenever i play ay music file, can anyone tell me why?03:16
loshersebsebseb: I think the danger of alien is in mistakenly encouraging people to think that just because they managed to install an rpm using it, that it was actually a reasonable thing to do...03:16
Reactormimiloon: xD kick the Microsoft products03:16
brianhello?03:16
brianhi03:16
briani have a question03:16
brianwas hoping someone could answer it03:16
losher!ask | brian03:16
ubottubrian: 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. :-)03:16
briannice03:16
n8tuserSeligArkin-> what are you trying to do?03:16
brianthis one is fun03:16
brianwell here goes03:16
mimiloonsebsebseb, i'll give that a shot03:16
FloodBot2brian: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.03:16
Reactorbrian: ask03:16
brian?? don't use enter as punctuation what does that mean?03:16
beachbrakemy left speaker of the laptop is producing a 'tuk-tuk ' sound whenever i play ay music file, can anyone tell me why?03:16
Reactorbrian: !!03:17
briananyway03:17
Jyxtbrian: it means dont type then hit enter, then type then hit enter03:17
IdleOnebrian: means stop hitting the enter key every 3 words :)03:17
llmlAnyone would please help me with the http proxy problem above?03:17
mimiloonReactor, id love to but people are so stuburn (other ppl)03:17
test34brian, dont use 10 lines for one sentenc03:17
sebsebsebmimiloon: if that doesn't work  or you can't get it configured,   you can ask in #winehq for configuring help by the way,  anyway if it doesn't work you can  virtual machine Windows inside Ubuntu with enough RAM03:17
SeligArkinn8tuser: Stop whatever it is from butchering my hostname. /etc/hostname is set /etc/hosts is set - something still keeps setting my hostname to localhost.localdomain, I think its avahi because turning that off fixed the problems03:17
Jyxtput your statements, questions comments on as few lines as possible03:17
losherbrian: it means just type everything on one line. irc will put its own line breaks in...03:17
Reactormimiloon: but try to kick them also xD03:17
n8tuserSeligArkin-> okay, you can turn off avahi it helps03:17
n8tuserif03:18
brianoh ok... alright here we go.  i have installed ubuntu jaunty using wubi.. and i would like to create an install cd for ubuntu using the exact settings that i've used... is it possible?03:18
sebsebseblosher:  ok it would be better to use a  Ubuntu DEB or  compile from source, but what's so wrong about using Alien to convert a  RPM into a DEB?03:18
mimiloonsebsebseb, thanks for the help03:18
justin-Would installing a .rpm file be any more wrong than using wine to install a microsoft .exe????03:18
briana live cd in essence03:18
xmntbrian, all that buildup for that?03:18
SeligArkinn8tuser: The hosts file still gets butchered though, and this is driveing me batshit, I don't like my OS randomly breaking because something decided to frak with my hostname :/ Sorry if I am a bit irrate03:18
sebsebsebmimiloon: np and Virtualbox :)  I would recommend for virtulization03:18
brianwell.. yes.. i don't know much yet i'm a newbie03:18
mimiloonReactor, lol03:19
m0r0nHey, whenever I plug in my record player Ubuntu insists on turning off my keyboard, any fix around that?03:19
Reactormimiloon: thx03:19
Reactormimiloon: ;)03:19
test34sebsebseb, I think RPMs dont always use the same directories for stuff (or not the same config files too)03:19
brianso, is it possible?03:19
DacvakWhat's the program in Ubuntu that allows me to shrink a disk partition using Live CD?03:19
sebsebsebjustin-: if you missed it, see above for the alien stuff03:19
n8tuserSeligArkin-> try turning off avahi,  also what processes did you have before those things happens?03:20
mimiloonReactor, your welcome03:20
test34using RPMs is not a good idea03:20
brianhmmmm..... anyway, i googled it and couldn't find anything03:20
loshersebsebseb: well, it's not against any religion I know of, but software intended for Ubuntu systems shouldn't be packaged using rpm in the first place, and it could mess up your system...03:20
xmnttest34, RPMs will use the same dir's if you tell them to - but i don't see why that matters - just use a deb03:20
SeligArkinn8tuser: It happens shortly after any network interface goes up03:20
MK13Dacvak, Gparted might work depending on partition type03:20
n8tuserDacvak-> fdisk and gparted perhaps03:20
DacvakThanks03:20
n8tuserSeligArkin-> look into your dhclient settings03:20
briandid i ask a foolish question?? noone answered it.03:20
systest"ifup -n eth1" shows static config as expected, but something keeps firing up DHCP on eth1, any idea what's fighting the interface/ifup config?03:21
sebsebsebbrian: Wubi hmm03:21
sebsebsebbrian:  I don't know the details, but it is possible to convert a Wubi install into a real proper partition :)03:21
briani want to create a full fledged install cd... but i don't want to have to build it everytime i install it03:21
SeligArkinn8tuser: dhclient should not be getting used for my home network - as I have /etc/networks and wpasupplicant setup to use  static ip for my home network, but I will poke it03:21
brianit only takes a couple hours, but i want it to work "out of the box"03:22
n8tusersystest-> how did you determined that?03:22
sebsebseb!remaster |  brian03:22
ubottubrian: Interested in remastering the Ubuntu !live CD? See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization or use tools such as http://uck.sourceforge.net/ or http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/DRU_Disc_Remastering_Utility03:22
systestn8tuser: determin what, that it's DHCP client is clobbering the config?  By looking at the requests coming into the DHCP server.03:22
markl_is there an easy way to create url files on the ubuntu desktop?03:23
Irvingquestion: i'm installing ubuntu, with an xp installed already on another partition, ubuntu asks me Do i want to try to unmount partitions on the disk /dev/sdb. should I say yes or no?03:23
n8tusersystest-> did the client ever get its ip address allocation? the request to a dhcp is usually several times til it gets a good one03:23
sebsebsebjustin-: oh so something happended to you, and you missed the alien stuff?03:23
systestn8tuser: it shouldn't be trying to get a DHCP address of that interface.  It's configured static in /etc/network/interfaces03:24
=== merma is now known as FactsAboutDolphi
losherbrian: I'd say it's ambitious for a noobie...03:24
SeligArkinn8tuser: What is the "proper" way to disable avahi?03:24
m0r0nIs there a way to make my keyboard stay as a keyboard? When I plug in my record player I think Ubuntu thinks it's a keyboard03:24
n8tusersystest-> i dont know your network layout, can you paste a drawing? to show which interface goes to where?03:24
sebsebsebIrving: two hard disks?03:25
systestn8tuser: that's the issue, it's configured static, "ifup" show's that it's reading config correctly but something keeps stomping on the config03:25
losherSeligArkin: use 'bum' to disable it at startup03:25
Irvingone hard disk, 4 partitions XP on 1st03:25
losher!bum | SeligArkin03:25
ubottuSeligArkin: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto03:25
n8tuserSeligArkin-> id kill it with /etc/init.d/avahi  stop  and then use update-rc.d to remove it permanently..03:25
* losher just loves typing 'bum'...03:25
sebsebseblosher: I like using the bot so03:26
sebsebseb!language |  losher03:26
ubottulosher: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.03:26
n8tusersystest-> can you at least tell us how many interfaces you have active and how they interconnect to the dhcp?03:26
SeligArkinn8tuser: will an update cause it to return, or can I expect this to stay dead?03:26
spursncowboysWhat is the log that helps me see the activity of my router?03:27
n8tuserSeligArkin-> it may re-appear during update, not 100% sure03:27
systestn8tuser: 2 NICs, eth0 = DHCP, eth1=static03:27
n8tuserspursncowboys-> is your box a router?03:27
Irvingsebsebseb: can i direct message u03:27
n8tusersystest-> both on same subnet?03:27
losherSeligArkin: it should stay dead, if the developers do their job right, and avahi updates are rare anyway....03:28
sebsebsebIrving: keep it in the channal  for now at least03:28
spursncowboysn8tuser: what box?03:28
Irvingok03:28
Irvingdid you see my last message03:28
sebsebsebIrving: yes03:28
n8tuserspursncowboys-> which box are you on?03:28
sebsebsebIrving: How are you trying to partition?03:28
sebsebseb!dualboot | Irving03:28
ubottuIrving: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot03:28
Irvingdidn't get to that screen yet03:28
systestn8tuser: yes.  and yes, I realize that's awkward, but that's not the final config, just doing some testing03:28
sebsebsebIrving: ok before a partition can be changed, it has to be unmounted03:29
Irvingso i hsould hit yes03:29
sebsebseblrvick: well I suppouse there's at least one exception to this, because  Vista can resize itself, when it's running03:29
n8tusersystest-> well think about it, you have one interface thats static, but your dchpclient on the other overruns the settings of your /etc/hosts..03:29
spursncowboyslinksys03:30
Irvingok thank you03:30
systestn8tuser: http://paste.ubuntu.com/272473/03:30
spursncowboysn8tuser: linksys03:30
=== jimlong is now known as MrPockets
n8tuserspursncowboys-> also try to prefix your responses with a nic of the person you're corresponding with so it will not get lost03:30
SeligArkinNow: How do I lower the number of virtual desktops I have, I can't seem to find the window to do this.03:30
sebsebseblrvick: I guess Vista version 2  (Windows 7) will be like Vista when it comes to that as well03:30
Irvingoh03:30
spursncowboysn8tuser: ok03:31
Irvingthat was my external drive it saw03:31
n8tuserspursncowboys-> you want to view the logs of your linksys router? do that with a browser03:31
systestn8tuser: that doesn't really make sense.  The system shouldn't be trying to start a DHCP client on eth1, regardless of what it did with eth003:31
alain973hello03:31
m0r0nDoes anyone own an ION Record player and has connected it to their computer with Ubuntu sucessfully?03:31
Irvingi hope i didn't just screw up my drive03:31
alain973an ion no03:31
sebsebsebIrving: you unmounted your external drive?03:31
Irvingyes03:31
n8tusersystest-> it make sense, one interface is static, then your dhcpclient on the other interface overrides your /etc/hosts03:31
sebsebsebIrving: ok that should be fine03:31
Irvingwhew ok03:32
sebsebsebIrving: when a partition is mounted it's being used,  then to stop it being used  for example an external hard disk, you unmount it03:32
Irvinglots of stuffo nthere i dont want to lose, didnt mean to have that connected03:32
sebsebsebIrving: and you can't unmount the  Ubuntu partition  the /   when it's running,   hence using  a Live CD to resize it or whatever03:32
systestn8tuser: sorry, but I don't see what /etc/hosts has to do with the DHCP client changing the interface config of eth103:32
sebsebseblrvick: yes I was thinking sdb   another hard disk, hence why I asked if you had two03:32
sebsebseblrvick: since sda  would be the first hard disk03:33
Irvingoh03:33
Irvingi see, yep that makes sense now03:33
Irvingits getting late, ive been working on this for way to long03:33
Irvingi had it 99% of the way there and I screwed up adding XP to the grub boot menu and everything went nuts on me :(03:33
systestn8tuser: it's not the IP or host name that's the issue here, it's that it get's a static address, then the DHCP client get's fired up and wipes out the interface (not in /etc/host but on the interface itself)03:33
n8tusersystest-> your interface seems incomplete, add the network and whatever else.. man interfaces03:33
SeligArkinHmm, even after lowering the number of VDs I have to 4 - X is still using 354M VIRT according to htop and this still feels stupid high03:34
sebsebsebIrving: hmm  /home  can't be mounted either when Ubuntu is using it.   you can turn swapoff though swapoff, but that's not  really a partition as such03:34
m0r0nHow do you monitor what is being plugged into your computer? With a log or something?03:34
sebsebsebIrving: unmounted above03:34
n8tusersystest-> perhaps i mis-understood you, what you mean by getting wiped out?03:34
spursncowboysn8tuser: How do I do it with a browser?03:34
sebsebsebIrving: you installed Ubuntu?03:35
n8tuserspursncowboys-> use the ip address of your linksys03:35
n8tuserspursncowboys-> use the ip address of your linksys and put that in your browser as if you were trying to configure the linksys03:35
spursncowboysn8tuser: ok I am there03:35
systestn8tuser: ifup gives eth1 a static address as expect, a short time later, a DHCP request is sent from eth1 which re-configures the interface wiping out the static config03:35
n8tuserspursncowboys-> so look around its management features, am not a linksys expert..poke around03:36
sebsebseblosher: when you install Ubuntu and put Grub on the MBR it should  add  Windows to it as well03:36
sebsebseblosher: wrong one03:36
sebsebsebIrving: above03:36
losher:-)03:36
n8tusersystest-> lets do this, look for your dchlient configs and pastebin it03:36
systestn8tuser: my question is, why is DHCP getting started on eth1 at all?03:36
systestn8tuser: k03:36
Irvingubuntus installing now03:37
Irvingi was talking about way before, earlier today03:37
n8tusersystest-> somewhere in /var/lib/dhcp3/03:37
Irvingi had ubuntu installed first, then tried to install xp03:37
navetzcan someone help me fix my sounds. I can only use one sound application per startup. If i start youtube first, it is the only thing that can use my sound until I restart X.03:37
sebsebseb!grub | Irving03:37

physiccan one give me link of video converter for ubuntu ?03:37
spursncowboysn8tuser: I will do that. ty for the help03:38
systestn8tuser: only shows eth0, which is what I would expect  (the DHCP server doesn't return a lease for eth1, I've black-listed it.)03:38
n8tuserspursncowboys-> you're welcome03:38
n8tusersystest-> how about just try  ifup eth1  without the -n option03:38
systestn8tuser: ifup eth1 works, for a time03:38
AshhhHiya people03:38
sebsebseb!hi | Ashhh03:39
ubottuAshhh: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines. Enjoy your stay!03:39

systestn8tuser: to the best of my knowledge, that is a complete config.  minimal, but complete, per man page only address and netmask are required03:40

losherScarra3: please use my name when talking to me, or I'll miss lines. I was sick of the 9.04 problems: sound, flash, wifi, lots of little things...04:34
n8tuserzobi1 -> you may have to google for it, also look into inotify and udev, these 3 newer features is something i yet to get a good grasp of04:34
Scarra3losher: ow I see I moved to 9.04 because it supported my wireless care without me having to use backports04:35
=== gmaculo_ is now known as gmaculo

physichello04:36
losherScarra3: if it works for you, well & good. But anything labelled 'alpha' is pretty much guaranteed to be unstable and bug-ridden. Why would you do that to yourself?04:36

newmini9greetings04:37
newmini9I04:37
loshersebsebseb: I wouldn't mind, but they somehow never seemed to get resolved. I've yet to see a solution for sound in 9.04 that's 100% reliable...04:37

physicwhat i have to do?04:37
Scarra3sebsebseb: how would I go about editing to look of Ubuntu like change the boot screen I already know how to change the UI and icons etc...04:38
sebsebseblosher: sure, but  that can also be a manufacture fault04:38
sebsebsebScarra3: with the  Ubuntu is loading screen, well  I would use  the Ubuntu one or the Kubuntu one,  I haven't  changed it otherwise04:39
newmini9I've a new dell mini 9 ... I remember finding a util to "reverse" from items already installed04:39
Scarra3sebsebseb: ow ok ive only stuck with ubuntu I havent tried any other ones04:39
sebsebsebScarra3: also 9.10  has/will have some kind of  boot up screen effect, which looked quite nice by the video I saw04:39
Scarra3sebsebseb: you mean xsplash?04:40
webbb82im running ubuntu on a netbook with a small screen so whenever i open a app or window i cant see the bottem part of the window cause it was made for a bigger screen anyone know how to fix this04:40
sebsebsebScarra3: don't now04:40
loshersebsebseb: I agree, but the end result is that sound is unstable in 9.04 and apparently hasn't been able to be reliably fixed. Another release like this, and people may start migrating to other distros. I stopped using fedora because the opted for new features over stability...04:40
sebsebsebScarra3: I mean when the computer is first turned on or re booted, and Ubuntu has only just started to load up04:40
sebsebseblosher: well  Ubuntu opt for security updates over anything else :D04:41
Scarra3sebsebseb: also how do I set up desklets the ones that use cocky scripts04:41
n8tuserwebbb82 -> i dont own a mini, have you tried increasing the resolution?04:41
sebsebsebScarra3: don't know04:41
newmini9the mini 9 comes with some local installed apps I want to repackage as I plan on upgrading the mini 9 to ubuntu 8.10 or 9.04. Does anyone know what the util will be called?04:41
Scarra3sebsebseb: ok thx04:41
axscode1where can i disable ALT  on linux that moves the window when its is dragged?04:42

Guest42875Want aask some Question04:42
loshersebsebseb: well I approve of a secure system. But I prefer a stable release over features, especially features I don't care about. Ext4 is nice, but it's not *necessary*04:42
sebsebseblosher: remember the nasty pulseaudio issues in 8.04 for example?04:42

Xcercan8tuser , shane2peru , thanks04:43

loshersebsebseb: I may switch to debian, though for now I'm happy with 8.04 (hardy). It seems like a good compromise of stability & features. And since I almost never reboot it, I don't need ext4...04:45

DShepherdis there a commandline too that can convert pdftotext or can read pdfs?04:52
loshersebsebseb: they do say that, but if the market is big enough, the motivation to write attack software will grow correspondingly. No current system is (or can be made) completely immune to viruses. We're just too small to bother about right now. Also, I dunno how much growth a support channel like this can sustain....04:52

DShepherdhenry9: /nick newname04:52

mneptoklosher: Mac OS X currently enjoys close to a 10% markey share. by your logic, that would mean that 10% or so of malware would target OS X. that's clearly not the case.04:53

DShepherdobiwan_: sure04:56
sebsebsebblueglasses: it has had that  basically for ages now on the server and the super computers, it's just the desktop hmm, but that's getting there to, even though most software companies and hardware companies do not suppourt it properly or at at all yet04:56
obiwan_that's the same04:56
n8tuserajninami -> i cant remember, but i thought its within vista.. but my memory escape me now04:56

nic1SysRq?04:57
nic1which is that key?04:57
n8tuserajninami -> you are right, try the livecd gparted to resize it then04:57
losherblueglasses: it just needs a rock-solid GUI. If macs weren't so ridiculously overpriced, they would be giving windows soome real competition...04:57
obiwan__hi back04:58
blueglassesif people who spend time writing virus would spend time tweeking drawing and animation functions for common people use, we already had a good flash replacement in linux04:58

shane2perunic1 I think he meant alt-sys del keys, or was it backspace04:59

webbb82like if i want to move a window around i want it to be able to go under the top panel05:14
chingusPhix if you just input sudo apt-get install abode-flashplugin you will get extremely fast video streams etc as compared to windows flash...05:14
tarelerulzPhix , how much better are we talking ? Flash that is05:14
chingusSpeed wise Ubuntu flash seems better.05:14
arrrghhhflash sucks.05:14
user_cewek_manis05:14
arrrghhhi don't care what platform.  although my experience is flash is worse under linux...05:15
phixtarelerulz: well I can play poker :) it doesn't work under linux version of flash05:15
webbb82like f a window is too big to see it all on the screen i want to be able drag the window above the top panel05:15
tarelerulzI have used Flash for years on Ubuntu and it never seem to work right.  I don't know what you are talking about .  Either you all just lucky or there some way to get it working better05:15
arrrghhhwebbb82, well you can hold the alt key when dragging windows, not sure how far it'll let you drag it tho.05:15
n8tuserspeaking of flash and firefox, can you guys try  scriblink.com and click on the pie symbol/icon and see the math symbols?  seems to only work okay on iexplorer..05:16
aliaspwhy not grab it and drag the window to the side or switch the desktop05:16
shane2peruwebbb82: arrrghhh alt key and clicking on window does it05:16
arrrghhhtarelerulz, flash works for me in linux.  it just sucks.05:16
webbb82if i try to drag the window up it will stop at the top panel and not go any higher05:16
tarelerulzPhix, What build of Wine do  you have firefox running under?05:17
arrrghhhwebbb82, like i said you can hold the alt key while dragging, but it doesn't let you drag it that much higher beyond the panel.05:17
shane2peruwebbb82: that is odd, I just did it with this window05:17
arrrghhhassuming the window isn't maximized.05:17
dserbanwow firefox just segfaulted05:17
dserbancrap05:17
webbb82yA i cant do it05:17
shane2peruwebbb82: hit the alt key and just click anywhere on the window and drag it05:17
phixtarelerulz: what ever the ubuntu version is05:18
phixin jaunty05:18
obiwan__please 1 question, do you know links? the internet text line program? is there any way the 'less' command works the same way? i mean: don't take hundreds of lines of the current terminal but a single terminal screen size and display text in there, just like links05:18
webbb82the top part of any window stops at the panel05:19
tarelerulz3.5 is what Jaunty is said to run. I don't know not ran it yet ,but flash is the last thing I can't get running well at all .05:19
obiwan__for flash flashplugin-nonfree works well :)05:19
shutter1234i dual boot ubuntu/winxp. past few days ive noticed some strange file space issues...i opened up disk usage analyzer...says total filesystem usage 29.4g....this is ONLY including the ubuntu partition correct?05:20
talntidobiwan_use vim or nano? or am i missing the point of the question?05:20

talntiddual quads, 16b ram :)05:20
webbb82they can go below the screen too05:21
shane2perushutter1234: no, that must include your home files too, no way can that be just the filesystem05:21
shane2peruwebbb82: yep, either way for me05:21
shutter1234shane2peru, home files?05:21
shane2perushutter1234: your user files05:21
webbb82shane i dunno then05:21
shutter1234i'm not sure i follow05:21
shane2perushutter1234: did you install /home on a separate partition? or just install everything to one partition05:22
xangua!br05:22
ubottuPor favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Obrigado.05:22
aliaspdual booting windows/ubuntu  is crazy man05:22
shane2perushutter1234: you probably installed everything to one partition especially if it is 29GB worth of files05:22
=== Jay|Lost_ is now known as Jay|Lost
shutter1234shane2peru, yeah, it's all one partition, one for ubuntu one for win05:22
shutter1234i ask because i deleted some about 3 gigs worth of files on ubuntu and ended up with LESS psace than i did before05:23
shane2perushutter1234: in that case all your files and system files are included in that 29gb stuff05:23
shutter1234believe my HD is corrupted but just trying to look it over05:23
tarelerulz I am running one flash player video and  one cpu is running at 33 and other at 37 is that normal ? 3.5 firefox05:24
shane2perushutter1234: have you emptied the trash?05:24
shutter1234shane2peru, yeah05:24
xmnttarelerulz, you can think adobe for that05:24
shane2perushutter1234: I find it hard to believe that the HD is corrupted, but I guess it isn't impossible05:24
xmnttarelerulz, i have 4 cores ... w/ flash video core 3 hits 99%05:24
shutter1234it all started with me using brasero, it kept saying i did not have enough to write the image or whatever, so i deleted about 3 gigs to give it more room to make the temp image05:24
arrrghhhtarelerulz, flash sucks for linux.  flash sucks for windows too, just not quite as hard.  gnash is promising, but not anywhere near what i would consider "production" or "stable" if you will.05:25
shane2perushutter1234: ahh, brasero, say no more05:25
shutter1234and still did not work (cannot burn audio disks right now, it says i need around 700 or so mb and right clicking on filesystem says I have a little under a gig free space)05:25
aliasphello anybody solve the vista desktop look a like05:25
shutter1234lol yeah i hear you....been reading up on people have issues with brasero05:25
shane2perushutter1234: you have a brasero problem, not a hd corruption problem05:25
arrrghhhsolution?  use k3b.05:26
shane2perushutter1234: use k3b it will pull in some kde dependencies, but it is worth it05:26
xmntaliasp, i spend as much time trying to not have my desktop look like vista personally05:26
shane2perushutter1234: sudo apt-get install k3b05:26
arrrghhhaliasp, yea, not a fan of the vista look.  xp with a tuxedo.05:26
tarelerulzFlash don't suck for windows , I use it all the time and run couple tab with  videos and never think anything of it. When I do the same thing with Linux it runs like 70% of my cpus .  It can't be doing that in windows or I would think I would notice it05:26
Pupuser4eeehelow hola05:26
shutter1234shane2peru, that's my plan, but i'm still trying to figure out why it's saying i have less space after i cleared more space05:26
aliasphow about go to opera and add the analog clock or05:26
loshershutter1234: after deletion, did you actually *empty* your trash? Otherwise it's still using disk space...05:26
shutter1234yeah, trash it deleted05:27
shutter1234or emptied rather, excuse me05:27
arrrghhhtarelerulz, it's still choppy and craptacular.  renders stuff poorly, slowly, bad bad framework if you can even call it that.05:27
shane2perushutter1234: because brasero probably has some tmp files somewhere eating space, reboot should clear that.05:27
shutter1234shane2peru, already rebooted05:27
shutter1234that was my guess also05:27
shutter1234it's perplexed me05:27

tarelerulzafter the flash video is download  , Flash seem to run at around 30-40 % on both cpu .  I would do wine and firefox if That would help at all.  Flash is the last bit I don't have working . I would never go back to windows or at lest very less05:28

obiwan__please 1 question, when 2 files start by the same name, completion just takes up to where their names fork. Isn't there any way to complete all of them with a key? (arrow keys up &down don't work)05:41
loshershutter1234: there was a typo in the command I gave you. the file is mis-named du,out i.e. a comma, not a period, ok?05:41
shutter1234it was just du,out05:42
shutter1234instead of du.out05:42
shutter1234yeah, just noticed05:42
loshershutter1234: right, so just 'more du,out' with a comma instead...05:42
shutter1234i did, one sec05:43
losherobiwan__: try hitting tab twice. In some shells, it's ctrl-d instead...05:43
shutter1234could i take a time out for a second and mention something I see?05:43
obiwan__i tried losher that was the first :P05:43
loshershutter1234: sure...05:44

deadlyallance647biovore iam a noob and am using vs.net express05:50
loshershutter1234: ok, so you can see from the listing, stuff in /home/jay/Music takes the most space, followed by /usr which you can't really delete anything from, followed by /home/jay/.local/share/Trash which has about 2G in it. Apparently it didn't empty it after all. Do you wanna delete it?05:50
edbianmaxolase1squad: opensource?  In the repos?05:50
maxolase1squadedbian: Yes and yes.05:51
loshershutter1234: that's fine. Feeling stressed?05:51
Biovoredeadlyallance647: python probably or c# are probably the next stepping stones..05:51
shutter1234no, i'm actually glad it's there05:51
bullgardcrdlb: Thank you for your help. Where can I find a definition for this location "computer"? It is difficult to google for because "computer" has many more meanings.05:51
edbianmaxolase1squad: Thanks!05:51
maxolase1squadedbian: It is a catchall IDE that supports extensions for other languages.  I am 99% sure the one packaged for Ubuntu supports C out of the box.05:51
shutter1234so i won't delete it....the original reason clearing it was to give space for brasero to do its temp img deal to burn cd05:51
shutter1234so essentially i guess the plan is to restore the folders i want and then switch to better cd burning software05:52
Biovoredeadlyallance647: Other stuff you may want to look at is the "bash programming howto"  good to anyone who going to use a unix box.05:52

maxolase1squaddeadlyallance647: There is a "port" of C# for Unix called mono.  sudo aptitude install monodevelop05:55
maxolase1squaddeadlyallance647: Because .NET is a Microsoft technology you can imagine that its use is highly controversial.05:55
bullgardcrdlb: The author of the program Nautilus had an idea why he created the location "computer". I believe he implemented the 'computer:///' feature and described its usage. Where can I find this description? Is it only in root/src/nautilus -places -sidebar.c starting from line 342?05:55
deadlyallance647what about the use of the open source port of vs?05:56

shutter1234losher, interesting error when i tried to move 3 music folders from the trash to the desktop06:15
loshershutter1234: what was the error?06:15
shutter1234'there is not enough space on the destination'06:15

shutter1234'There is 947.8 MB available, but 1.8 GB is required.'06:15

loshershutter1234: ok, where are the source directories?06:16
shutter1234trash:/// and desktop is /home/jay/desktop06:17
loshershutter1234: nah, that's just how nautilus names them. From the terminal they're gonna be /home/jay/.local/share/Trash/files/.... Can you see them using 'ls -l' ?06:19
shutter1234are you asking me to change to that dir and do ls -l?06:19
shutter1234if so, then yes06:20
loshershutter1234: you can do that, or just do 'ls -l /home/jay/.local/share/Trash/files/*' without changing directory...06:20
shutter1234already changed dir06:20

shutter1234music, music 2, music 3 is what I want moved, there are a few other files but i don't want them06:21
loshershutter1234: ok, and where do you want to put them? Looks like you have stuff in *both* /home/jay/Music and also in /home/jay/Desktop?06:22
shutter1234yeah, because my little brother uses windows and because of lack of space (not a big hd) and what not, i always transfer his music on here once he reaches a certain point06:23
chingusWhats the channel topic?06:23
shutter1234so i keep his music folders on the desktop06:23

loshershutter1234: or come back here, we're a support group after all...06:35
shutter1234absolutely. but I do try to google first so as not to be too rude06:36
obiwan__please, isn't there any way to show with 'less' command the whole output in 'the size of a terminal window'? I mean, not taking 100 @!#$ lines so if i don't loose the lines before? just like links internet browser, you open it in terminal, work, close it and it just took 10 lines of your terminal.06:36
shutter1234but if you're not too busy, I'd like to run a question by you? it's something I've googled months ago and something that lead me to automatically think the issue we've just discussed was an HD corruption problem06:36
losherrww: nat firewalls sometimes time out idle connections. See also ServerAliveInterval for the client...06:37
strings@n8tuser:i am trying now06:37
loshershutter1234: ask away...06:37
Wizardshey umm is there a way that i can make the ubuntu interfaces smaller? like the task bar and ect it's huge lol06:37
shutter1234i was into torrenting for a while, torrented for a few months, then one day I noticed the percentages on the download would go backwards06:37
Jorsherlosher - got it to install with xml-rpc :)06:37
dustanwizards whats your screen res at06:37
Jorshernow, for rutorrent06:37
losherJorsher: cool...06:38
shutter1234and then go back up, and essentially I could no longer torrent, the files would never complete06:38
rwwlosher: ServerAliveInterval looks promising, thanks :)06:38
Wizards1024x76806:38
shutter1234googling it, the answers always seem to be data corruption06:38
obiwan__hm? i'm supposed to get the message :$06:38
shutter1234i gave up trying to fix the problem a long time ago but I figured I'd run it by you06:38

prenhi guys, i have 30 computers in a network behind a router. 5 ubuntu and 25 XP. for some reason it takes the Ubuntu computers a long time to open Google pages- google.com, gmail, picasa ect . XP can open them instantly , what could be the reason?06:38
loshershutter1234: yep, that's pretty much the only reason. I have to say I p2p a fair amount and don't see much corruption routinely. Which torrent client were you using?06:39
shutter1234and it's not something that has really interfered in my day to day use of the computer, but it's one of those curiosity questions06:39
shutter1234transmission, the program that came with my ubuntu install06:39
Wizardswow dustan lol i'm at the smallest already06:39
dustanyeah sorry wizards i was really hoping it was something simple like you had the res set to low im quite new to linux but thought i might have had a shot06:39
n8tuserpren see if it has  ipv6 enabled, if it is, disable them06:39
kazzypren: does it actually seem to be limited to google?06:40
Wizardsno problem i appreciate the help man06:40
shutter1234i'd note this was with several different torrent files, so it wasn't limited to just one thing I tried to dl06:40
Wizardswhen did you start using linux?06:40
dustanabout 6months ago started with mint then cametoubuntu06:40
dtom2444can someone help me join a different channel? im lost on xchat06:40
kazzyn8tuser: ipv6 has caused various issues with me.. cvs compression was borked for instance over ipv6 link06:40
prenkazzy, yes! i have my home page set to google on all computers, all running firefox. when firefox starts in Xp google shows up , in ubuntu it has to think for like 20 seconds06:41
ReactorGyus what does 127 dcc error code mean?06:41
loshershutter1234: well, it's not a known problem with transmission. You can check the health of your hard drive by looking at the SMART data. Take a look at this http://ubuntu-unleashed.com/2008/10/gsmartcontrol-hard-disk-drive-health-inspection-tool.html06:41
Wizardshow is imint?06:41
ReactorGuys*06:41
dustandtom2444 server, list of channels and then click the one you want06:41
prenn8tuser, i think i disabled ipv6, but i'll have  a look06:41
n8tuserkazzy -> so you turned them off?06:41
shutter1234all right06:41
Wizardsim using ubuntu for about a week now learned quite a bit messing up the linux OS like 4 times trying to get some stuff wto work06:41
dustanwizards very similiar to ubuntu but i did notice some things ran faster06:41
kazzyWizards: thanks. just avoid setting the monitor resolution to fix sizes06:42
n8tuserpren also check to make sure the XP box uses same dns as the ubuntu's06:42
Wizardsalrighty thanks06:42
loshershutter1234: did you say you were on dialup? Or was that someone else?06:42
Wizardsdustan what things give me an example?06:42
kazzyn8tuser: well, I ran cvs without -z. now, I have ipv6 disabled, no reason to have it on if it causes issues06:42
shutter1234yes, dialup06:43
prenn8tuser, ok , i will check it out. the situation is so bad that i'm using bing.com as the default search engine in ubuntu06:43
dustanlike ive had a lot of problems with games being choppy on ubuntu i never had that with mint06:43
n8tuserkazzy thanks for sharing.. this little tidbits helps06:43
loshershutter1234: there are much higher error rates on dialup. That's probably why...06:43
kazzytransmission? on dial-up?06:44

bdfosterhey guys having an issue with upgrading. I can't seem to upgrade from hardy to jaunty. do-release-upgrade shows that there are no releases to upgrade to06:45
shutter1234losher, I know. I hate leaving friends' houses06:45
kazzyI know. I was just questioning the use of bittorrent on dial-up. even apt-get updates are painful06:45
shutter1234broadband isn't really an option out here06:45
loshershutter1234: that easily explains the high incidence of corruptions though...06:46
kazzyI've used a sat link, it's worse06:46
kbpsomehow everytime i open ubuntu there is a ! icon on the taskbar. when I double click it says update fail something, I clicked partial upgrade and it closed but the (!) icon is still there. If i double click again -> partial upgrade -> infinit loop. Any suggestion?06:46
shutter1234losher, all right then. good enough for me. it's not a big deal (torrenting)06:46
prenkbp, did you try to upgrade ubuntu?06:47
loshershutter1234: just as well, since there's no cure...06:47
shutter1234=)06:47
xTheGoat121xHow safe is upgrading from 8.10 to 9.04 via Update Manager? Last time I tried that was Feisty to Gutsy and it killed my machine06:47
shutter1234losher, so I probably don't need to download gsmartcontrol06:47
losherxTheGoat121x: there's no substitute for a full backup. Upgrades can and do go wrong...06:47
kbppren: if you mean auto-update, yes. but if you mean upgrading version: no06:47
shutter1234no real need to go through all of that?06:47
bdfosterhey guys having an issue with upgrading. I can't seem to upgrade from hardy to jaunty. do-release-upgrade shows that there are no releases to upgrade to06:48
loshershutter1234: nope, I wouldn't bother...06:48
xTheGoat121xlosher, yeah, I'm crazy about backing up... my main concern is having to take the downtime reinstalling everything.06:48

bdfosterthis is a fresh install of hardy, just didnt want to have to go through the trouble of getting another iso06:49
Gneabdfoster: yeah, so read that url please06:49
prenkbp what happens when you run sudo apt-get upgrade from terminal?06:50
kazzyharisund: for low mem systems, I'd pretty much suggest Debian. Ubuntu's "ease of use" means nothing if it barely moves06:50
n8tuserbdfoster -> well if you like to learn a bit more, go with an upgrade.. :P06:50
losherxTheGoat121x: for a while when I was installing, I had it down to a fine art. About a dozen files from /etc and the old trick of saving your package selections and reinstalling the same package set. It's not too bad. I got so I could do it in about 30 minutes from scratch...06:50
loshershutter1234: so pleased to help...06:50
bdfosteri see what you are saying though06:50
harisundkazzy I am not looking at "ease of use" to be honest. I am just looking at the convenience and community of Ubuntu, though technically I should be able to find that in Debian I guess?06:51
bdfosterok, just going to download another iso06:51
shutter1234I think I'll stick around for a bit and follow the conversations.06:51
kbppren: ah, I didnt think about that one. thank you. I will try when I get home06:51
xTheGoat121xlosher, LoL Yeah, I gotcha there. Well, I'll probably just wait for Karmic to release, do a clean install... but I was tempted to have a shiny upgraded Jaunty system, LOL06:51
harisundkazzy, And to be honest there's nothing I hate more than "eye candy"06:51
prenn8tuser, i have ipv6 disabled , i'm using openDNS for all computers but still Ubuntu is much slower to access the web, especailly google related services,06:51
kazzyharisund: well, I just find building up is easier than stripping down. it's a personal decision.06:51
harisundkazzy, True true, building up is easier. Maybe I should try that06:52
losherharisund: depends on your skill level. The debian groups are much less forgiving to newbies. The ubuntu group is much more welcoming/forgiving....06:52
qdbhello06:52
qdbwhen new ubuntu releases?06:53
bdfosteroctober06:53
harisundlosher,  agreed on that. But also, I have also noticed Ubuntu is more tailored to the "newbie" group and once you move past, you don't get any help from the Ubuntu community and the Debian community is actually easier to get answers from since most of the newbie questions are pretty much filtered out06:53
kazzylosher: harisund: yes, that's very true.06:53
loshershutter1234: it's up to you, but I think a logical next step for you after what we did today is to bone up on more command line stuff e.g. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal06:54
bdfosterqdb october is the next release, ubuntu is on a six month release schedule06:54
strings@n8tuser:thanks. it worked fine06:54

losherharisund: I agree with you. So it depends on your skill level. Once you find you've exhausted this channel, I think linux from scratch makes good next stage reading...06:56
shutter1234losher, is there a simple explanation about the trash contents reappearing the way they did?06:56
prenn8tuser, it's most pronounced with google, but generally speaking internet is slower on ubuntu. google is definately slow, it takes firefox 20 seconds to google, and only 2 seconds to bing or baidu.com06:56
harisundlosher, i hope i will never 'exhaust' this channel, but LFS or Gentoo might not be my cup of cake. anyway, I dont' think this is the right platform for this discussion anyway :-)06:57
loshershutter1234: I don't think so. I suspect it's a bug in nautilus....06:57
kazzyharisund: also, #gentoo and the like are notorious for being unforgiving, as they are generally "support it yourselves" guys06:57

losheralemani: it's not easy to find out about those. But via google on http://beginlinux.com/desktop_training/ubuntu/1101-ubuntu-kernel I found: "The linux-image-virtual is a kernel to use if you will be doing virtualization on the box, like using KVM or XEN."07:19

indusshrini1: hmm u need to keep trying other options for mic probably07:36
willcakohlrak1 not so serious for a reboot but worst case is i have to restart wicd07:36

willcakohlrak1 ... like maybe about 5-8 times in an hour and lasts from 1-2 minutes of drop07:36
kohlrak1willca: never considered restarting a particular program, i just reboot.... But believe me, it annoys me...07:36
indusshrini1: probably the system is choosing wrong device for mic07:36
indusshrini1: plug it out then in again07:37
shrini1indus: ok. let me try07:37
kohlrak1willca: odd, mine has many connection drops, but often invisible to the programs because it reconnects quickly enough... And it's never down from 1-2 minutes unless it's down indeffinately and i reboot07:37
willcakohlrak1.... true...but restarting wicd does the trick for me. damn Broadcom!07:37
shutter1234back07:37
kohlrak1willca: it could be the card, even somehow the board. I bet if you look through syslog you'll find messages about an uknown keycode too...07:38

scyxso what do you people think, should i do a clean install of karmic once it's out or just upgrade my jaunty install?09:38
WeazelONscyx: i always do a fresh clean, much more stable in many ways09:41
CaveyCoUkMorning all.09:41
scyxWeazelON: yep, thought about that as well. but since that will be my first distro jump, i'm not sure how long a clean install takes and what/how i should back up.. don't need anything apart the home folder i guess?09:43
WeazelONwell what is it that you need to backup ?   apps ? pictures? docs ?09:43
CaveyCoUkAm using Hardy in an Andlinux VM, mounting a Vista share through fstab.  After a number of days working fine, it eventually breaks and will not remount because "mount error 12 = Cannot allocate memory" etc... (mounts on Server 2008 are unaffected). I realise this is probably a vista issue, but if anyone has experience and can point me in the direction to fix it, it would be greatly appreciated.09:43
scyxWeazelON: mostly apps and docs.. docs is not so much a problem but i fear having to reconfigure every app after a clean install :p09:44
WeazelONCaveyCoUk:  sounds like u ran out of memory... remember how microsoft works, as long as u keep it none restarted, ur cache space runs out slowly09:45
CaveyCoUkDoesn't look like it is out of memory09:45
mahershalalA small question, couldn't find an answer on the fora: from Synaptic I can either install Firefox 3.2 or Firefox 3.5.4b1, but I would like to have the latest stable, being 3.5.3. How can I solve this? thanks.09:45
WeazelONscyx: well, tbh if you are already going for a new distro, its better to reinstall the apps, since alot of'em are not so stable when not downloaded for the specific distro09:46
WeazelONthen again it depends which apps09:46
scyxi've always wondered about this.. why is it that new releases of apps mostly go into karmic instead of being updated in jaunty too?09:48
scyxand can i generate a list of installed apps somewhere? i guess that would help with reinstalling them..09:48

TimothyAgpannwitz; you told me to use printf instead of find -_-11:20

BlackFatechingus, im not big fan of ati, you get flickering problems11:46
UBestByou mean like password protect it?11:46
maxagazhow to check which application use which port of the network ?11:46
norkaknBlackFate: all the flickering problems are generally solvable (4850 here)11:46

PhilpaxHi11:47
Notch-1hi all, i can't found a solution to this: i have a 2.6.28-15-generic kernel and after recompilig (using the same .config file) i get 2.6.28.10-generic, so i can't use backports and restricted anymnore, what can i do?11:47

coz_userone,   also here   http://blog.cybermogi.net/2009/09/check-your-laptop-battery-status-from-the-terminal/11:47
chingusNotch-1, sudo apt-get update then upgrade I think.11:48
BlackFateuserone, in general check inside /proc/acpi/battery11:48
norkaknchingus: yeah, that would work, probably almost any would work.  You should check with the product that you want to install and see what their system requirements are11:49
Burning_aceshi there, i was wondering if there is a way to move a terminal file to /usr/bin11:49

Philpax1Hi11:49
chingusWell thanks all /quit11:49
BlackFatenorkakn, y11:49
BlackFateBurning_aces, you can with sudo, but not recommended... you can make a bin folder to your home dir11:50
BlackFateBurning_aces, and execute globally your scripts from the specific user11:50
Burning_acesBlackFate: its the cowpatty executable11:50
Burning_acesi prefer it in the /usr/bin directory so i dont have to cd to that directory if i want to run it11:50
Philpax1I'm having a problem with GRUB2. Now that I have it installed, I can no longer boot into Windows Vista. I know it is specific to GRUB2 because I had it chainloaded with Legacy before, and I could boot into Vista using Legacy's entry.11:50
BlackFateBurning_aces, if you put it inside ~/bin you wont have to cd11:51
Burning_acesok11:51

DJonesp2rn4: For the keyboard, have you looked at keyboard preferences and the Typeing Break setting, tick the box Lock screen to enforce typing break" and then set work interval and break interval12:06

whateversamwern, VB is nice, I'm using it right now, but it is not allowing me to do what I need.  I've read the documentation on networking with VB, but it still does not work.  If I knew why I could prolly fix it, but I haven't seen the reason.12:16

joaopintofriendishan, just open a terminal and execute it, but be careful, you need to understand it's purpose12:17
andrey__friendishan what do u mean how to apply it ? you have to open terminal window and rewrite it there12:17

andrey__friendishan, rm - it's a delete command12:19
whateversamjoaopinto, I have a good idea of how computer systems work.  I can get the VM to connect to the internet, but I don't seem to be able to get the right port open to the VM.  With VB you get only the command prompt to work with when making port changes.  It's possible that I mis-configured, but I am not getting any replys on ports that should be open by default.  (port 80 for example)12:19
andrey__i think nothing should be reported12:19

whateversamjoaopinto, if I've bridged by connection then the virtual machine will be connected directly to my NIC.  This allows it to filter it's traffic off of my host machine to the virtual one.  This should also mean that both OSs are using the same IP as far as my LAN is concerned.  If all of this is true, and I do not have any firewalls enabled on my LAN or the host OS, and the host is not using the port in question, then the conne12:24

glickityis there a easy way to do a bios update in ubuntu?12:55
ActionParsnipsander: you may find you need to edit that file to make the postinst run12:55

glickitynathan7, im on a eeepc12:56

ActionParsnipsander: you may find there is an if...fi statement you can edit out12:56
nathan7Socrates_: #ubuntu, not #ubantu.12:56
dos|equisGobiTheGoblin : How can I check that?12:56
nathan7glickity: You can put it on a USB stick12:56
Socrates_yes that one12:56
nathan7glickity: I can't test it, I lost my EEE charger12:57
sanderActionParnip: the postinstall says: python2.6 /usr/lib/python2.6/py_compile.py $files12:57

Pici!latest | Deiu13:00
ubottuDeiu: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are: fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports.13:00
Deiu2.6.31 is latest ;)13:01
GobiTheGoblindos|equis: I think the problem lies now with some wrongly given value in /etc/X11/xorg.conf13:01
nathan7ActionParsnip: Even though I live in Holland, I'm not that dumb to not get that.13:01
DeiuNot to mention that it has been released as "stable"13:01
ActionParsnipnathan7: ask a silly question13:01
dos|equisGobiTheGoblin : What shall I do with this?13:01
nathan7ActionParsnip: Impossible ;)13:01
ActionParsnip:D13:01
nathan7Although the person asking it *can* be stupid13:01
GobiTheGoblindos|equis: But in your situation, I would suggest to upgrade to 9.04 it is much easier to use13:01
dos|equisGobiTheGoblin : Ok... Thanks.13:02
nathan7Why does apelW's IP seem scarily familiar13:02
GobiTheGoblindos|equis: Do you know how to upgrade?13:02
nathan7oh right13:02
nathan7My granddad's IP is 62. too13:02
dos|equisYes.13:02
dos|equisGobiTheGoblin : Yes13:02
dos|equisGobiTheGoblin : But I don't to have time to upgrade my system yet.13:03
GobiTheGoblindos|equis: k. Btw: it is muuuuuch faster too13:03
dos|equisGobiTheGoblin : 9.04?13:03
azlon1how do i make ppp0 access the internet instead of eth0?13:03
GobiTheGoblindos|equis: Yea. Boot time is like 1/3 of the old one13:03
nathan79.04 is speedy.13:03
dos|equisGobiTheGoblin : I need to upgrade from 8.10 before I can get to 9.0413:03
nathan79.10 even more so.13:03
* nathan7 is loving 9.1013:03
GobiTheGoblindos|equis: Not sure, I don't think so13:04
dos|equisGobiTheGoblin : Can I skip the upgrade process?13:04
nathan7dos|equis: You can upgrade from any version.13:04
indusdos|equis: nope,13:04
GobiTheGoblinnathan7, It's good when its working =) dev versions have their clinches....13:04
indusdos|equis: no skipping hopping, you need to go through each version13:04
=== |Draglor| is now known as Draglor
DeiuIs there a ubuntu repository dedicated to kernel only?13:05
GobiTheGoblindos|equis: well if it suggest first to upgrade to 8.10 then I guess it would be best to do it that way...13:05
indusdos|equis: or use a cd and updgrade, in fact if u have an alternate cd, you can upgrade from cd13:05
dos|equisGobiTheGoblin : Yeah, I know.13:05
nathan7GobiTheGoblin: True.13:05
nathan7GobiTheGoblin: But I have the latest stuff.13:05
* nathan7 likes that13:05
GobiTheGoblindos|equis: Clean install is a option too, but remember that it format your HD too, so any documents etc needs to be sabed13:05
nathan7GobiTheGoblin: I'm always ahead of the crowd13:05
zxdare you fscking kidding me ?? shiretoko web browser ??? and then they wonder why geeks get alienated13:05
* nathan7 loves FF 3.713:06
nathan7zxd: That's firefox 3.5.13:06
zxdYE!13:06
nathan7zxd: Shiretoko also is some place in Japan.13:06
nathan7It's beatiful13:06
podman99can i delete all partitions from command line without going through the whole process of the fdisk menu?13:06
useroneanyone know how to 'force' ubuntu to charge a laptop battery? the battery indicator says 100% charge but /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state says 0. Its a Li Ion battery and I read online that it can be 'regenerated' by a forced charge13:06
dos|equisGobiTheGoblin : After I finish my doing my sales system manual, maybe I can upgrade from 8.04 to 9.0413:06
eni23imho is shiretoko more stable than the one from the mozilla-site13:06
GobiTheGoblinnathan7: I had to switch because the 9.04old kernel had heat problems with me...13:07
nathan7eni23: No.13:07
zxdit's like japanise ver of firefox ?  like   Gnes in japan13:07
nathan7No.13:07
nathan7It's just because it's awesome13:07

zxdimported webrosers won't work on my browser13:07
nathan7Just like the place in japan.13:07
zxdI need an emulator13:07
nathan7zxd: It's f*cking firefox, just with a diff name.13:07
induseni23: the developers of the browser should be a step ahead with stuff13:07
nathan7It was prerelease13:07
zxdnathan7, why put the pre release btw13:08
GobiTheGoblindos|equis: remember to backup everything important =)13:08
zxdnathan7, not the final, because it's the same?13:08
nathan7Because people want the latest stuff.13:08
dos|equisGobiTheGoblin : Yep, I know13:08
nathan7zxd: The final wasn't there yet.13:08
dos|equisGobiTheGoblin : But I never ever tried making a back up for my files13:08
nathan7Prerelease is *BEFORE* the release.13:08
=== ogra_ is now known as ogra
nathan7Before the final.13:08
eni23nathan7: 3.5.3 crashes less than firefox 3.5.3. and in shiretoko there are feautures, not enabled in ff 3.5 (eg. -moz-opacity: (worsk with 2.0, 3.0 but not with 3.5))13:08
* nathan7 is using Firefox(ahem, minefield) 3.713:09
zxdindeed was wondering if this was a case of a pre-release that was the same as the final only a change name done before the release13:09
nathan7No.13:09
nathan7They use diff names for the prereleases to protect the reputation of Firefox.13:09
indusnathan7: when will minefield be out? is it any good?13:09

theclawwhen ubuntu gets updated, do all previously installed packages get reinstalled? I have the feeling that after each update, some packages are missing13:19
whateversampodman99, Western Digital13:19

ideasman_42any other ways to force install then "dpkg  --force-all -i ./cache/apt/archives/flashplugin-nonfree_10.0.32.18ubuntu1_i386.deb"13:24
aethelricktehbaut: it doesn't look like free software, but it looks like it will do the job13:24

ideasman_42ActionParsnip, can the scripts return value be ignored?13:25
dabukalamActionParsnip: but it won't let me mount it13:25
ActionParsnipideasman_42: you could change te script to return a good value13:25
ideasman_42but that means extracting the deb and repackaging it?13:25
tehbautaethelrick: not a problem, if it works it's worth it... I'll do some testing on the demo13:25
cheaternathan7: interesting. is there a way for me to have multiple key bindings that will all start up in different dirs?13:26
nathan7cheater: Hmm, I guess so.13:26
sanderActionParsnip: i have restored my python2.6... the binary was in the python2.6-minimal deb package.... thanks for helping me out!13:26
nathan7cheater: You could have it run sh -c "cd /some/directory/&&exec gnome-terminal"13:26
ideasman_42ack. cant there be a way to make ubuntu forget about a package?13:27
ActionParsnipsander: NP BRO, GLAD YOU GOT THE GOLD :)13:27
ActionParsnipsorry for caps13:27
ideasman_42or ignore that its in an invalid state?13:27
ideasman_42so other packages can upgrade13:27
rsfsdo you guys know which editor would be a good editor to be extended, modified for special needs of hardware development?13:27
sanderActionParsnip: THANK YOU :)13:27
Dr_Willisrsfs:  emacs is so extendable.. its almost its own OS.13:27
ideasman_42I rather not fight with packages esp if I only want to remove them13:27
indusunder what circumstances would a package need to be forced?13:28
rsfsDr_Willis: but is lisp worth the effort?13:28
ideasman_42I need a --purge-i-dont-care-if-the-system-has-some-files-left option :S13:28
indusideasman_42: man dpkg13:28
ideasman_42indus, I read it13:28
dabukalamActionParsnip: when i try to mount it it gives me - wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sde1; missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail  or so13:28
indusideasman_42: man apt13:29
ideasman_42removal needs to be forced because scripts fail13:29
ideasman_42and there is no way to remove a package if its script fails13:29
ideasman_42(from what I can tell)13:29
cheaternathan7: ahh13:29
Dr_Willisrsfs:  thats up for you to decide.13:29
ideasman_42aside from replacing with a non-failing script... hrm. would rather not do that13:29
ActionParsnipdabukalam: try using -t <fs type>13:29
len_hi I used exit on tty1 how do I restart it?13:30
rsfsDr_Willis: sure, I was just trying to ask how difficult to use is it13:30
cheaternathan7: thanks a lot. you've been great help mate.13:30
=== Lutoma__ is now known as Lutoma
Dr_Willisrsfs:  no idea. I use VI for my needs. :)13:31
rsfsDr_Willis: I tend to think it is right to pick emacs for that reason, on the other hand I wonder if there are no other editor using other languages for its extensions13:31
rameshworhello... i've done ubuntu 8.10 dualboot with XP, and i am thinking to do it in vista.. is thereanything i need to be careful about or it's almost the same ??13:32
ActionParsniprameshwor: same13:32
rsfsDr_Willis: hehe, funny, I use VIM myself, for all my hardware development, but I need something better for architecture exploration13:32
rameshworok.13:32
nathan7Vim pwns13:32
cobaltsshas anyone had an issue with the iso they downloaded from ubuntu.com?13:32
Dr_Willisrsfs:  it all depends on exactly what you are doing. I guess..13:32
ideasman_42where does apt keep its package info? - Id like to go in with a hex editor!13:32
ActionParsnipcobaltss: not if you md5 check the iso13:33
ActionParsnipcobaltss: checks it has downloaded cleanly13:33
hdoncan i get some help getting /bin/rm to produce a french error message?13:33
cobaltssyyyeaaa.... im doing it from windows, i dont know how to do that yet lol13:33
indusActionParsnip: : its possible to have corrupt iso at source? Maybe report it then i guess13:33
ActionParsnip!md5 | cobaltss13:33
ubottucobaltss: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows13:33
nathan7hdon: why french?13:33
rsfsDr_Willis: I have been using VIM and I feel good editing with it, but when I have to manage many files and understand others projects I have difficulties following variables and function calls with editor only13:33
rsfsDr_Willis: I didn't yet make the effort of learning how to use ctags for example13:34
cobaltssgotcha, thanks, ill check that out13:34
ActionParsnipindus: if there is noise on the line at some point in transmission it cna arbage the data. It jut needs redownloading13:34
ActionParsnipindus: its nothing to do with ubuntu13:34
hdonnathan7: or any language, but i specifically tried installing language-pack-fr-base13:34
Dr_Willisrsfs:  vim very likely has features youve never disovered yet. :) I dont code much. So i only use 1% of vim's features13:34
indusActionParsnip: what if the build itself is faulty? i guess we would come to know as many would be downloading it13:34
nathan7hdon: dpkg-reconfigure locales I think13:34
induscobaltss: did u md5 sum the downloaded iso13:35
cobaltssnope, ill do that when i get home tonight13:35
hdonnathan7: well, i am trying to learn about gettext internals, so i'd like to know how to set the right environment variables myself to get rm to produce a translated error message13:35
cobaltssdoing the ubuntu Check CD option tells me i have a corrupt file13:35
ActionParsnipindus: if the md5 passes ok then the cd is as it should be, the build will only be faulty if its a daily build or karmic. the release cd of jaunty is fine13:35
iamlenekohey  i have this problem : "rm -f *" and it ouputs this : "bash: /bin/rm: Argument list too long" ????13:35
cobaltssi downloaded the iso 2 different times and both copies fail on install13:35
ActionParsnipcobaltss: then redownload the iso and md5 check to test13:35
rsfsI stumbled across a new development of an editor called Editra today, which is python coded, and has plugin support but I don't know how well is their API13:35
indusActionParsnip: hmm ya true13:36
indusActionParsnip: thanks13:36
ActionParsnipcobaltss: also burn as slowly as you can13:36
Dr_Willisiamleneko:  try 'echo *' to see exactly what matches.. there is a fixed limit to the legenth of a command line.. Your command is going over that.13:36
cobaltss8x :/13:36
iamlenekoDr_Willis, yes probably13:36
Dr_Willisiamleneko:  either use rm a* or somthing to do it in 'batches' or use the xargs command  (and no i dont rember how off hand to use xargs)13:36
induscobaltss: ya 8x is good enough but you might want to be careful and do a 4x burn :)13:36
iamlenekoDr_Willis, but how i can delete all content of this folder ?13:36
cobaltssyeah, ill burna  new copy at 4x and md5 it later on tonight13:36
hdoncobaltss: did you verify the image manually after download before burning?13:36
cobaltssthanks so much for the help :D13:37
ActionParsnipnp13:37
len_hi I used exit on tty1 how do I restart it?13:37
induscobaltss: use usb for boot :) its cool13:37
nathan7len_: It should automatically.13:37
induscobaltss: i stopped burning cd's now heh13:37
len_hi I used exit on tty1 and now is not asking for login how do I restart it?13:37
Dr_Willisiamleneko:  either use rm a* or somthing to do it in 'batches' or use the xargs command  (and no i dont rember how off hand to use xargs)13:37
len_nathan7: well is not asking for login13:37
nathan7len_: Strange.13:37
PriorCould someone tell me what the sidebar is in this screenshot? http://gnome-look.org/CONTENT/content-pre1/80431-1.jpg13:37
iamlenekoah oke13:37
iamlenekostrange issue13:37
len_:(13:38
Dr_Willisiamleneko:  the xargs man pages have examples of deleting things13:38
len_gonna reboot machine then13:38
indusdoes anyone know how to encript a folder? like in winzip we can13:38
Dr_Willisiamleneko:  its not strange at all. the thing to rember is the SHELL expands the wildcards and sends them to the  actual command13:38
ActionParsnipPrior: there is no sidebar there just a themed window13:38
Dr_Willisiamleneko:  thats why 'echo *' works as a 'test'13:38

Branko2hi all13:40
ideasman_42ActionParsnip, yeah. I knew it was possible, but seemed too much effort to contrive a package just for removal13:40

=== demo is now known as alaqsory
ideasman_42Pici, but, but my question wasnt really related to karmic either13:46
Branko2first of all i have created new user in user settings, then i deleted that same user again from user setting window, but there was note telling that i can't delete that user files... (that is ok i manage to delete those with admin nautilus) but, after that, when i tried to create new user with same name, there was message like "user with same name already exist". I searched on forums and find option to delete user with "sudo userdel -r <username>" which work13:46
Branko2is there any way to completely delete user after deletion in user settings so i can again create user with that same name?13:46
indusBranko2: your message is not complete13:46
Pici!ask | arikbarnes13:46
ubottuarikbarnes: 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. :-)13:46
Branko2hm13:47
indusBranko2: try easy way , go to users and groups  and do it from there13:47
Branko2maybe there is too many letters...13:47

Branko2unfortunately i didn't know that at the time... :)13:49

indusBranko2: try this command i gave you14:01
dabukalamwarriorforgod: yeah, but if i turn the computer running screen off, will the service end?14:01
Branko2no, i can remove folder for that user, but can't recreate user with same name...14:01
Dr_WillisBranko2:  its a bad idea to run the gnome file manager as root.. You can end up with files that are owned by root in your users home dir.14:01
indusBranko2: so you mean there is no folder called proba there under /home?14:02
Branko2Dr_Willis: thanks, i'll remember that..14:02
Dr_WillisBranko2:  if i need to use a 'file manager' as root.. i tend to use 'mc' :) its a handy tool to learn about.14:02
indusBranko2: yes Dr_Willis is right, always use terminal for such things14:02
Dr_WillisBranko2:  'sudo mc' in a terminal.. do the work.. close it..14:02

Lirc_Userfull house huh? anyway a friend at work says he can't log in anymore on a dell mini 9 running ubuntu 8.04 LTS. I got into single user mode and reset the password. Now upon bootup I log in and the screen freezes14:07
LjLUBestB: for simple things to just run at boot, you can also use /etc/rc.local14:07
Lirc_Userthe cursor and mousepad are both functional only during the login screen but not on the desktop14:08
UBestBLjL: I looked at skeleton, but it doesn't look as easy as just typing a command at the bash prompt14:08
UBestBI don't have rc.local14:09

UBestBok, do I need to use sudo as well or can that be ignored?14:10

PiciUBestB: There is no need to specify 'sudo' to run the command inside of rc.local14:11
UBestBok, will test it out, thanks14:12
Picidabukalam: How would it continue to play if you closed vlc?14:12

azlonn8tuser, i have a eth0 which is wired to a router, then to other machines in the house. i also have a ppp0 which is my 3G connection (where my internet comes from). when i have eth0 enabled (or plugged in) i cannot use the internet.... everything times out15:22
Picibobbob1016: Not really on-topic for this channel, try #ubuntu-offtopic15:22
azlonPici, oh that is because i had to disable my eth0 so i could use the internet and ask the question in here15:22
jiffeit does show state down15:22
jiffebut the IP still pings15:22
n8tuserazlon think about it for a minute, if you were a packet and have two ways to get out, ppp0 and eht0, which would you take?15:22

jiffeI'm not talking about which way to go out, 10.10.10.77 shouldn't exist if eth1 is down, correct?15:27

jiffen8tuser: alright, using subinterfaces works15:47
=== Odo is now known as Guest72401
n8tuserjiffe am glad it works for you15:47
jiffen8tuser: I think the reason we had tried a real physical interfaces was because the IP is shared between 2 machines, and when we manually ifdown on one and ifup on the other, arp seems to take a long time to update15:48
Dr_Willis_homy:  Theres some X security things that keep  other users (or root even i think) from just poping up progams/windows/dialogs on other peoples X desktops.15:48

n8tuserazlon -> your server is also acting as a router?15:48

Dr_Willis_homy:  try it with a simple terminal and xterm or some other from the console.15:49
crweb2you can popup apps on other peoples desktops. You just have to know what the display id is15:49
Dr_Willis_homy:  login to X as user.. login as root on console.. try to run somthing :) You at least have to export the DISPLAy or tell the progrma the proper DISPLAy. then th eX security stuff comes into play15:49
crweb2DISPLAY=":0" firefox15:50
Dr_Willis_some apps take a DISPLAY argument also :)15:50

uboxmore specificaly the equivalent of Alt_L16:09
lifesengineDr_Willis_: yeah, i have tons of AlSA options16:09
homyn8tuser: isn't that just a bad workaround?16:09

lifesengineseidos is there another recording option for music that is coming out of my speakers?16:09
n8tuserhomy nope, its not a workaround, unless you expect your script to be really run several times..16:09
azlonnibbler_, brb again... have to check on eth0 again16:09
seidoslifesengine: in prefs -> sounds it might work to test what driver works for sound playback.  ie select Alsa, click test sound, select oss, click test sound16:09
nh2n8tuser: yes it does, but on some of my systems, my hostname is only in the second line, on others, on the first and on the second and I've no idea why16:10

nerdy_kidhow do i control an X server on tty7 from tty1-6?  what display whould it be; :0 doesnt work16:10
homyn8tuser: uhm, I mean: I plug in my usb drive. then, udev is supposed to run my script once. But it runs it seven times. That doesn't have to do anything with the script, so changing it is a bad workaround. Maybe the udev rule I'm using is wrong?16:10

ShaneNDr_Willis_: It is a Mono background process16:11
lifesengineseidos: isn't JACK new?16:11
nanotubeShaneN: if it's a guy program that needs gnome to be running, then stick it into your session startup. if it's a daemon, then use /etc/init.d16:12
lifesengineseidos: this computer im using is from 0416:12
Dr_Willis_ShaneN:  for a user? or a system service?16:12
seidoslifesengine: I don't know how new it is16:12
ShaneNDr_Willis_: System service16:12
nanotubeShaneN: then /etc/init.d it is16:12
seidoslifesengine: in prefs -> sound on the right side there are four test buttons16:12
Dr_Willis_ShaneN:  lazy/fast/dirty way - start it from rc.local or make a proper init script for it16:12
ShaneNnanotube: Figured as much, but wanted to verify16:12
ShaneNThanks guy16:12
ShaneNguys*16:13
lifesengineseidos: preferences is under edit16:13
seidoslifesengine: there is probably a how to somewhere, for Audacity/JACK.  what sound card do you have?16:13

nerdy_kidhow do i load nvidia settings to x from command line?16:14
Dr_Willis_nerdy_kid:  gksudo nvidia-settings   you mean?16:14
nibbler_azlon: your default gateway points to eth016:15
azlonnibbler_, im totally new to this... where did you see that?16:15
nibbler_azlon: and this is the problem. you should only have a route for connected network (192.168.0.0/16 stuff) via this interface. if you have a gateway set in /etc/network/interfaces for eth0, remove it, comment it out16:15
nerdy_kidDr_Willis i want to run it from cmd line so i can implant it in my kdm script, but nvidia-settings -l -c :0 wont work, say no display connection x(16:16
lifesengineseidos: thanks a lot for the help16:16
nibbler_azlon: line 38 shows that connections to 0.0.0.0 with mask 0.0.0.0 (so all connections) go via 192.168.0.116:16
Dr_Willis_nerdy_kid:  its an X gui app to config the xorg.conf.. I dont know what your command is supposed to do.. but one normally dosent run stuff that way.16:16
lifesengineseidos: something interesting, all the tests work except sound capture16:16
seidoslifesengine: you're trying to record sound from your speakers, let me try it in audacity to see if it works for me16:16
Dr_Willis_nerdy_kid:  kdm has a feature to run a command  at launch/exit I belive16:16
lifesengineseidos: sound capture, nothing will play in any of the tests16:16
seidoslifesengine: using alsa?16:17
nibbler_azlon: all connections which are not cought by a more specific route that is. if you disconnect eth0 you should see another route, with the p2p partner of your ppp0 devic or smth.16:17
azlonnibbler_, ok, now i only have auto lo and iface lo inet loopback in my interfaces file16:17
lifesengineseidos: all of them, i tried alsa, pulse, etc...i get zero sound on the test for sound capture16:17
nibbler_azlon: dont remove eth0 from the interfaces file, just remove its gateway!16:17

climax64sorry I'll go to the german channel16:19
seidoslifesengine: so it's probably supported by JACK too16:19
azlonnibbler_, this is what i had before: http://pastebin.com/m415d865c and i removed lines 7 and 8... is this correct?16:19
nerdy_kidDr_Willis_ in order to apply my settings, i have to run nvidia-settings, then restart kwin because the opengl sync option was set after kwin was started, thus i need it to start before i login lol16:20
nibbler_azlon: this does not affect eth0, so why did you remove it? this is the complete interfaces file? where is eth0 definitions?16:20
nibbler_azlon: how did you bring up eth0?16:20
azlonnibbler_, that is what shows when i edit my interfaces file. i brought up my eth0 by typing ifconfig eth0 up16:21
azlonnibbler_, i put lines 7 & 8 in there when i was reading some forums... but it didn't make a difference (obviously)16:22
nibbler_azlon: ok i see, there is a dhcp server on your router, and that configures your eth0 and replaces the default route. setup your eth0 in interfaces file then16:22
Dr_Willis_nerdy_kid:  err.. I run nvidia-settings as root.. and save the changes to the xorg.conf file - that way they are used by default when X starts...16:22
nibbler_azlon: servers should have a static setup, and not a dhcp adress. i need to leave now16:22
azlonnibbler_, uhmm... kind of16:22
* Dr_Willis_ thinks nerdy-kid is not running the tool as root...16:22
azlonnibbler_, right now i have the 3G modem plugged into my mediacenter-pc running windows and sharing the internet via ICS16:23
n8tuserhomy -> can you paste your script that launches a gui you said?  lets see if its in a loop 7 times?16:23
azlonnibbler_, that pc has DHCP... but i am not using the routter's DHCP16:23
nibbler_azlon: you should use your linux pc as router and maybe dhcp server, and let the router you have now just be a switch16:23

nerdy_kidDr_Willis_hmmm will try thanks, as i just crashed X xP16:24

homyn8tuser: yes, its always seven times.16:25
samuelhave never tried NIS/YP16:26
azlonn8tuser, what nibbler told me doesnt make sense. he said i need to change eth0 to a static IP and it will start working... my IP is already static16:26
samuelwould NIS be a better route or winbind with a samba server?16:26
n8tuserazlon -> yes it makes sense to have a static address for your eth0 as it is a server. but you have to routing tricks to tell your server packets distined to your local subnet is through eth016:27
azlonn8tuser, ok, so how do i do this? is there a tutorial or something i can read?16:28

useronecan i run this in ubuntu 9.04 or do i need to install smapi first: # echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/force_discharge17:10
ErJeeBelse it doesn't detect a wireless network adapter :\17:10
homyn8tuser: yes, its a symbolic link to /dev/sdf117:10
ErJeeBnow it also doesn't....17:10
omniuniErJeeB: if so, then you just need the *.ini for Windows XP, and it should work fine... download the installer on another computer, bring it over, and use cabextract to pull out the files17:11
Quasar1048Oh man, I need help badly....17:11
ErJeeBi've done that17:11
ErJeeBit says the hardware isn't present17:11

ErJeeB: http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/6540/47592107.png17:11
omniuniErJeeB: it will say that until you have the right *.ini file17:11
Quasar1048I saying the date is like... 2008?17:11
omniuniErJeeB: make sure it is a Windows XP or lower version17:11
Quasar1048Its*17:11
ErJeeBit is the right one... i used the one for WinXP17:12
omniuniQuasar1048: which version of Ubuntu are you using (Ubuntu, Kubuntu...)17:12
ErJeeBi also have a win98 driver for it17:12
Quasar1048Ubuntu Jaunty 9.04.17:12
Quasar1048this happened after I tried to install a new dvd drive17:12
ErJeeBi use ubuntu 8.10 btw :P17:13
omniuniErJeeB: did you check to see if it is perhaps supported under an atheros driver, or broadcom now?17:13
ErJeeB9.04 wont boot :\17:13
Quasar1048I reset the bios jumper so that I could start fresh, when I rebooted, Goole was all screwy17:13

StevenMyersomniuni: Do you recommend phpmyadmin for webservers if you have apache and mysql installed?17:13
omniuniErJeeB: ah, interesting. I am curious, though, because most SMC cards have worked without needing ndiswrapper for a while, because they use the atheros chipset17:13
Quasar1048The only thing I can figure is the date/time doesnt match the cert. perfectly?17:14
ErJeeBit's an OLD USB network adapter :P17:14

Thaddeus1hello17:14
Thaddeus1i need help with my sound17:14
Quasar1048I REALLY need to check my email!17:14
dragonlyreThaddeus1 whats the issue?17:15
omniuniStevenMyers: It depends on your needs. PHPmyAdmin gives you a nice web-interface for browsing and managing databases. There are some local softwares (Like OpenOffice Base) that can do that as well, or you may just be able to do it with a CMS for whatever you're developing on the server17:15
Thaddeus1I have an on-board sound card for my motherboard and a Creative X-Fi Titanium installed in my computer17:15
Thaddeus1While I know that X-Fi does not have support at this time, I managed to get the on-board sound working last night17:15
StevenMyersSounds good omniuni. Thank you17:15
jshultzi tried using gimp yesterday and today. it's hard to get out of the photoshop way of doing things.17:16
Thaddeus1however when I went to turn on the sound today it would not come out17:16
Thaddeus1when I went to lspci -v in terminal both sound cards were listed17:16
Thaddeus1but in aplay -l17:16
Thaddeus1only the X-Fi sound card was listed17:16
Thaddeus1after some other fiddling and rebooting aplay -l now displays "no soundcards found..."17:16
omniunijshultz: what do you want to do?17:16
xTEMPLARxThaddeus1:  Do you dual-boot?17:16
Thaddeus1NO17:16
Mathias-SHello! Installing Ubuntu for the first time on a computer with WinVista and Win7. Is it possible to skip installation of the new boot loader and use Windows' boot loader? The installation only recognizes the WinVista installation, so I don't really trust it to replace my current MBR17:16
Thaddeus1sorry17:16
Thaddeus1haha17:16
Thaddeus1no17:16
FloodBot2Thaddeus1: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.17:16
Michalxohello! where can I find intel G31 graphics thread issue?17:17
Thaddeus1I use 11.1 as my only OS17:17
xTEMPLARxThaddeus1:  haha its okay.  I was just curious as to why not remove the card if you're not actively using the card in another OS.17:17
jshultzi was trying to make this graphic that showed a relation between a person and his/her bosses with various emotions they felt.17:17
ubuntersovled my own prob: turns out I just needed to remove any references to dns-nameservers from interfaces and add them to resolv.conf instead17:17
omniuniMathias-S: that is actually correct. Windows doesn't dual boot like most OS's do, GRUB will chainload into the windows bootloader from there17:17
jshultzpart of a project i'm doing for a touchy/feely life coach.17:17
Thaddeus1I could do that but I'm not quite sure why it isn't recognizing the on-board sound as is?17:17
Quasar1048So.. I take it this problem cannot be fixed17:17
Quasar1048?*17:18
omniuniMathias-S: you COULD use windows boot loader, but it is quite tricky, and not as powerful, and it can't be updated when you get new kernels17:18
Guest6002I have a script connecting remotely via ssh that is rejected when run by cron yet works when run on the command line. If I run the script from another machine it works fine both on via cron and the cli. What could I be missing?17:18
Quasar1048jsut wonderful... not I have no internet for no damn reason17:18
xTEMPLARxThaddeus I went thru the same issue with an addon sound card a while back, and they conflict if the device is detected at all.  I've not had much luck at card-type soundcards playing nice with built-in sound17:18
Mathias-Somniuni: Ok, so GRUB doesn't actually replace the windows boot loader?17:18
=== LinoSP|Away is now known as LinoSP
Thaddeus1Okay.  Let me shut down, uninstall and reboot.  If I still have problems I will let you know.  Thank you.17:18
Quasar1048this never happened in windows. I have never heard of this. Apparently Ubunt is a POS OS17:19
xTEMPLARxThaddeus:  np gl17:19
omniuniMathias-S: correct, what it does, is it passes control to it, and then pretends like it's not there, this tricks windows into loading its own boot loader, and then it boots itself17:19
Mathias-Somniuni: Alright, so it'll first boot into GRUB, then into Windows boot loader, and from there I can choose Vista or Win7?17:19
Quasar1048resetting the date should not mess up my certs. That is just pathetic17:19
deandzneed help, how to run compiz on unichrome17:19
xTEMPLARxQuasar:  that would be a browser issue regardless, I'd say, not an OS issue.17:20
n8tuserQuasar1048 -> crypto stuff are time dependent,17:20
omniuniMathias-S: Indeed, that should work. GRUB usually does a good job with multiple windows partitions too.... if you have a recovery partition, it should get its own entry, which is quite convenient once you figure out which is the recovery partition, and which is actually windows17:20
U8untuhi17:20
U8untui have some problems17:20

stewOriWB: you need the quotes around "flags.*\blm\b", but not around the whole thing17:43

killahrsyo how i use the terminal to get again?19:35
Strife89Sirmimer: System->Administration->System Monitor19:35
grawityzehzinho: When you type 'echo $CLASSPATH', bash (not echo) does the variable expansion, which means it'll display internal variables too.19:35
killahrsi dont remember.-19:35
LordLandonfabian5003: According to prophecy, why would you ask for something to work on windows in #ubuntu?19:35

Veinormgv1: hm. try going into extras -> settings and checking 'show system tray icon' and its two suboptions19:52
thecommutistkillahrs: ok the simplest procedure would be, go to Places > Connect to Server, select Service Type as FTP with login, enter the server address & user name, this will open a folder view at your server location19:52
jimmy51_what do i do about that?19:52
MrPiracylaclasse:  yes, i multi booting actually19:53
laclasseMrPiracy, if you are using compatible mode (rather than AHCI) it will lag19:53
laclasseMrPiracy, however switching modes now might kill your windows install19:53
killahrsplaces? im running and old version of ubuntu thecommutist.19:53

zebastianlaclasse: check this out, jaunty has the following issues with the UNR Speakers don't work out-of-box. Wired nic (atl1e) doesn't work out of the box either. Broadcom WLAN requires closed drivers that are supported in Ubuntu out-of-box, but may cause problems with other distros19:56

zebastianWhile the Karmic version is in Alpha Testing with the opportunity to have frequent crashes, it does however "just work" with everything supported without tweaking. Wired nic works nicely. Sound works nicely. Everything else appears to work as far as i can tell.19:56
MrPiracylaclasse: is it in synaptics?19:56
laclassezebastian, yup,19:56
zebastianlaclasse: so i download karmic instead?19:57
zebastian it's about to be released anyway no?19:57

zebastianlaclasse: if i use wget -c will the iso download faster?20:09
zebastianinstead of clicking20:10
laclassedevD, jaunty was shipped with 3.1 so it keeps it in there, but offers also a newer version (3.5) side by side20:10
devDlaclasse, I mostly use fedora and yum update , update all packages20:10
laclassedevD, if you do not specify 3.5 you will get the same one20:10
laclassedevD, not always .... even on fedora20:10

dragonwhat's the best alternative of MS Exchange for Ubuntu?20:44
grawitydragon: Server or client?20:44
dragon!anyone | valadares20:44
ubottuvaladares: 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?20:44
dragongrawity: client20:45
gletobHow do you access your ubuntu install from the Live CD?  Right now I'm on the live cd and need a terminal that runs inside of my system is that possible?20:45
ikoniadragon: there really isn't one in reality, you need to use combos of products to make a server with similar functionality20:45
valadaressorry20:45
FlannelAbyssV3: Why don't you want group permissions?20:45
grawitydragon: Evolution kind of supports Exchange, but only through its OWA thing.20:45
ikoniagrawity: I think he's on about a server20:45
dragonikonia: i'd be happy if i could get the calendar working20:45
AbyssV3Flannel: Group permissions isn't so bad, I'm more concerned with the everyone having rx20:45
ikoniadragon: look at sunbird and caldev20:45
valadaresI can't finish any of my installations because the server where the firmware seems to be down, but it's been two days already!20:46
dragongrawity: I tried that, but this server is 2007, so evolution didn't work. evolution-mapi is buggy and incomplete.20:46
AbyssV3Flannel: In that case, is there anything wrong with 750 ?20:46
karlpwhat's the "right" way of mounting filesystems from another ubuntu machine?  In the past I had machineA with samba shares, and machine B ran windows20:46
karlpI've tried sshfs, but it's not as fast as the samba shares were20:46
ikoniadragon: do you want a client or server ?20:46
karlpand samba feels even slower20:46
grawitykarlp: NFS, maybe?20:46
dragonikonia: alright, i'll check those out. I want a client.20:46
killahrslinux is the best!20:46
FlannelAbyssV3: "wrong" is a badway to put it.  You can do whatever you'd like, you'll just have more/less funcitonality.20:46
grawitydragon: In that case, all you have is IMAP for mail.20:46
gletobNo one knows how to access my ubuntu system from the live cd?20:46
karlpwhere's NFS set up?20:46
ikoniadragon: ignore my advice then, I thought you wanted a server20:46
FlannelAbyssV3: What it means is that people won't be able to use ~/public20:46
FlannelAbyssV3: What it means is that people won't be able to use ~/public_html20:46
AbyssV3Flannel: I'm basically just looking to not break anything while providing increased security for myself/users20:47
dragonikonia: oh, sunbird sounded like a client though.20:47
valadaresright20:47
AbyssV3Flannel: My users don't have a ~/public_html set up, so that's not a concern. If I need to do it, I will give them symbolic links to a public folder.20:47
ikoniadragon: it is, but it can't connect to exchange20:47
linuxviewerIs there a location other than /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules to change the MAC address of the eth0/eth1?  I got a new NIC and it isnt working.20:47
gletobNo one knows?20:47
gletobHuh20:47
AbyssV3Flannel: I need to go now, thanks. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't going to break anything largely.20:48

soreauph33r: Your intel memory leak issues are because of the driver, not compiz. And, you should be able to use EXA rendering without compiz being slow. The slowness is caused when you use features that require opengl2.1 like alpha blur and such21:01

grawity_pHI_: 'exec' is a bash's builtin command (it replaces that bash process with your command, instead of spawning it separately), that's why it doesn't have a manpage. Try 'help exec'21:21
innomenDeiu, well when i moved to 64 it was supported out of the box so i just reinstalled21:21
seidosI had a problem with gnome-power-yaddayadda not notifying me when my battery was low.  I just run without the battery now, leave the power cord plugged in while working.  suspend works though, thankfully21:21
_pHI_grawity: thank you!21:21
jophishI have 3 1.5TB HDDs in a server. I am planning on creating a 8GB partition on each for ubuntu, with the remainder being used for data, the large partitions will be used with software raid 5. however I wish to backup the ubuntu installation across each disk, would using raid 1 on the 8gb partitions work21:21
jophishor would I need a seperate /boot partition on each disk too21:21
grawity_pHI_: Or just remove the 'exec' part completely, it's not that much of a difference actually.21:21
innomenDeiu, up until that time i thought liek you did that 64amd was not for my machine21:21
Deiuinnomen, I'll try a fresh install of alpha 5 for now. See how that goes21:22
innomenDeiu, probably a better idea anyway21:22
Deiuyeah21:22
Deiuinnomen, I went as far as trying to install Fedora 11...but it doesn't like ext4 on the boot partition so I fscked it21:23
innomenAnyone know how to graphically make a network drive in ubuntu? all the google answers are terminal commands, before i get used ot that i want t make absolutly sure there isnt a more user friendly way of doing it21:23

PSPseidos:not sure wat that is.21:26
ViaNocturnaanyone?21:26
seidosPSP: type it in a terminal, lspci gives you information from the pci bus21:27
ikoniaalokito: 1.) that doesn't look like an ubuntu repo 2.) that doesn't look like a valid url at the moment21:27
grawityinnomen: GNOME uses a thing called GVFS for the smb:// URLs, which means not all programs support it.21:27

ubottuIf you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).

demonsporkare there any good mail clients that are as clean as Apple Mail? Thunderbird and Evolution just feel too messy and cluttered21:28
grawityinnomen: For Firefox, you can either: a) add GVFS support - firefox-gnome, IIRC; b) open ~/.gvfs/ - GNOME puts the mountpoints there; c) use mount.cifs21:28

tohuwHas anyone had an issue where the Super key suddenly stopped working for all shortcuts, even after restart? (compiz, microsoft multimedia keyboard [not sure that's relevant in the case])22:29
FlannelIRC-Monitor-290: and yes, Karmic is alpha software still, and from what I understand, is especially broken at the moment22:29

tohuwsaji: :| it captures the key if i try changing the shortcut, but actual execution does nothing. what's that trick to capture the codes of keystrokes?22:31
saji<IRC-Monitor-290>, then upgrade that software only.22:31
bmeynelltohuw, BlackFate, woot! audacity works great! much better than sound recorder!!22:31
BlackFate:D22:31
sajitohuw, are you talking about Compiz settings?22:31
tohuwsaji: yes, but also keyboard shortcuts in Gnome22:32
Circularok, let's change the question, does anyone here had problems with wifi cards not working in jaunty after some upgrades?22:33
Circular*did22:33
sajitohuw, then i didn't understand your problem clearly. IS changing the key-shortcuts not working for you?22:33
Scarra3Yo22:33
gwildori have a dawmon being started in startup applications via gnome.... but it doesnt start, does anyone happen to know why, or perhaps a better spot to list this daemon22:34
tohuwchanging them works, in the sense that it accepts the change. for instance: I open CCSM, I go to general options and change the run command from alt f2 to super r. This change works fine, it picks up that keystroke when I use the capture key button. However, when I actually press super r, it doesn't open the run dialog22:35

vixussigh.. anyone know how to get libvorbisenc on ubuntu?22:36
gwildorvixus, its not in universe or multiverse?22:36
tohuwfrostburn: there is an opensearch plugin, or there is a direct google search plugin as well. You need to install gnome-do-plugins, and when selelcted plugins, use the option "show all plugins" from the menu22:36
mandyLhello22:37

tessierHello all!23:17
tessierIs it true that Ubuntu does not set a root password and makes you use sudo? Do most server admins set a root password anyway or do you actually just operate on sudo alone?23:18
seidostohuw: that didn't work for me.  I just ended up with a file with "top" as the first line23:18
Seeker`tessier: there is no need to set a root password23:18
tessierSeeker`: That isn't what I asked. :)23:18
nh2tessier: it is true and yes, on my servers, I have no root account23:18
dgpjxubuntu question: for example: if I wanted to change the name of any shortcut under applications>settings how do I do that?23:18
Seeker`tessier: I believe you cannot log in as root by default, there is no reason to set a password23:19
brotohuw, how can i input the command while top is running?23:19
nh2tessier: you can use sudo -s which drops you into a root shell, you can do anything you could do just as if you logged in as user root23:19
tohuwseidos: bro: sorry, wasn't paying attention to what I was typing. top > ~/top-file23:19
tessiernh2: Cool, thanks. I have been doing that also. But sometimes I run into a situation where I need to scp something on/off the server as root. I could go in and sudo and copy them somewhere my normal user has access to but that is a real pain. How do you deal with that? I am mostly thinking about my developers. They are resisting not having root passwords.23:19
seidostohuw: thanks23:20
tohuwtessier: ssh keys for wheel group users23:20
tessiernh2: I know. I have been using sudo -s for years. But the no root password thing is more challenging. I have tried it off and on the past few years and sometimes run into issue.23:20
seidosbro: you have to enter the command at the command line, so you'll have to break from the command line or open another terminal23:20

guest2hey, i get the background noise when i use the microphone but none of the actual recording.... anyone run into a similar problem?23:24
seidosbro: your top says 169904k cached, so it's probably not cache in my thinking23:25
broseidos: not that much to read, system monitor doesn't show cached memory by default, top does, that's why the differencie23:25
nh2tessier: I never ran into that SCP situation. For most of that things, I simply created groups for different tasks / filesystem areas, so that my own user or the 'webdesigner' group could always access whatever they needed. In the long term, I think this was a good thing since it makes clear who can do what.23:25
seidosguest2: sort of.  I can't record audio in audacity from a song I'm playing out of my sound card23:26
broseidos, maybe that's just from swap?23:26

ralph_trying update ubuntu on my ibm thinkpad and having difficulty23:29
broseidos, i'm thinking of memory used to save software files in, like in windows. the system is saving the exe's and dll's in ram so the next time you start that program those files won't be read from hdd [which is slow], and it will start more rapidly23:30
seidosbro: yeah, it's caching swap file to ram.23:30
broseidos, but i don't know if cache is the same thing under linux23:30
seidosbro: or swap partition23:30
broseidos, yes, i have a 1GB swap partition, that's not ram23:31
seidosbro: they are saying top includes cached memory, but system monitor doesn't.  This coincides with what I'm seeing on my top output and system monitor output23:31
broseido: but the first line, above swap, that's RAM23:31
seidosbro: how much ram?23:31

seidosbro: yeah, first line, mem is ram, you have 1983452k used.23:32

No-Neckyes jrib, running X on server :)23:50
jribnowimproved: why don't you explain what you are doing?23:50
comicinkerTotal_Oblivion: thanks. in ubuntu software is usually available in the repositories. you can install software with "Add/Remove"23:50
jribNo-Neck: use gdm23:50
tom__jrib: right, thanks.  I just figured it needed changing in the menus, since there's no point in it being there otherwise.23:50
server7I'm not sure why they did that, it's really unfair and stupid23:51
jribNo-Neck: wait, maybe I am confused.  What does htpc mean?23:51
dragonNo-Neck: create /etc/inittab23:51
No-Neckjrib, it's a media centre23:51
jribNo-Neck: it's not the same machine?23:51
nowimprovedjrgp, I created a sym link in ftp, that way I can access a bunch of files through my ftp client, the problem is that I don't have permissions to edit these files owned by root, and i want to keep them owned by root23:51
Total_Oblivioncomicinker: where are the repositories?23:51
No-Neckjrib, no keyboard, no mouse23:51
No-Neckdragon, will that work??? o.O23:51
=== rickspencer3_ is now known as rickspencer3
seidosserver7: the only thing I can think of is include :8080 in links to people23:51
jribtom__: you can use nvidia-settings for things don't require root access23:52
No-Neckjrib, what do you mean the same machine?23:52
Ulises54Sorry  I'm trying to redimention my hd and got this problem that cannot understand  http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/9533/pantallazo4u.png23:52
seidosserver7: either that or find someone to host your site on a line that doesn't have port 80 blocked.23:52
server7seidos, how I do that??23:52
jribNo-Neck: the machine running ubuntu server is not the same as the HTPC23:52
seidosserver7: you already know how.  http://www.mydomain.com:808023:52
jribnowimproved: ok, create a group then23:52
comicinkerTotal_Oblivion: you can administrate repositories in System->Administration->Software Sources; however install software is done with tools like "Add/Remove" or synaptic23:52
nowimprovedjrib, the group is created23:52
dragonNo-Neck: yes it will23:53
jribnowimproved: add your user to that group, make the file's groups that gorup23:53
tom__jrib: Yes, I can activate my 2nd monitor with it without root access, but next time I log in, it's dead again until I go through the process again.  Gotta be root to make the change stick.23:53
No-Neckjrib, same machine, it's an atom ion board, keeping it light, installed ubuntu server and X, have done so before but never auto started X23:53
jribnowimproved: update permissions23:53
dragonNo-Neck: that's why i mentioned it ;)23:53
nowimprovedjrib, the users i want to add are already a part of the group...23:53

Total_OblivionAlso, is there any other other player to play movies etc apart from VLC and the ubuntu default?23:55
jribNo-Neck: you should be doing: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start23:55
Total_OblivionCause there is something wrong while watching them:\23:56
trismNo-Neck: seems you just add su - <username> -c startx to /etc/rc.local23:56
nowimprovedjrib, you just had me create a group...i did that, i went to add, a non-root user, and it says, it already exists, now, i chown it, it has write right permissions, and nothing23:56
No-Neckcheers trism now having a look23:56
