About what? === david_ is now known as davidscott6931 [00:09] : the joining channel option is greyed out [00:09] Fjord: usually you just download the iso and tell your virtual machine to boot from the iso. Then install as usual [00:10] mgv1: what client are you using? Are you connecting to the network itself without any issue? [00:10] the install immediatly freezes at the beginning, we get the install screen but it freezes as soon as we tell it to install, whether normally or in safe graphics mode [00:10] jrib: about running as root [00:10] Fjord: try the virtual machine channel then [00:10] ok thanks [00:10] odiamar: I didn't tell you to run as root.

Because you answered my first question which is nvidia drivers I'm now installing it [00:12] purpzey: devede is another one that is simple [00:12] : it says Welcome to the EFnet Internet Relay Chat Network [00:12] a little more advanced question....[adding updates to a persistent usb drive, will not make ubuntu unable to run as a live user?

[00:13] /join #whatever [00:13] purpzey: tovidgui is another, but I find it a bit complex [00:13] : nothing happens and it says "Visit us @ http://www.servercentral.net o" [00:13] #whatever is a lonely channel [00:14] mgv1: connect to a different server [00:14] mgv1: http://www.efnet.org/?module=servers [00:14] I have ubuntu jaunty installed.

[00:15] Help =X [00:15] hiz [00:15] hey folks - new here so excuse me for asking questions perhaps in the wrong forum, but i'd like to know why the admin account i created during install has no permissions to create a new account [00:16] hos is the code to make colorate echo in script bash ? [00:16] how* [00:16] XiXaQ: if you right click on the volume icon on the bar and select volumes, you can unmute your mic [00:16] chrisa_, check to see if that user is in the admin group. [00:16] Does anyone have any clue why sound works if I login using GDM login window, but if I use the command prompt and use startx nothing happens? [00:16] I am no longer a windows user as of sept 21, 2009 - a proud day [00:16] ok [00:17] chrisa_, my user is part of admin and has no permission to add users.. [00:17] yeah chrisa_ !! Congrats [00:17] : now it's working thank you - why did i needed to connect a different server? [00:17] congrats chrisa_ [00:17] thank you - it feels so good to know it possible [00:17] Nadroj: Could you please pastebin the output from running "sudo sh -ex /var/lib/dpkg/info/acpid.postinst" ? [00:17] mgv1: somethings probably wrong with that other server [00:17] chrisa_: I'm not far behind you === floopsie is now known as Floops [00:17] chrisa_: I've been windows free for about 2 years now [00:18] Hey guys, Currently having a ACPID problem. http://paste.ubuntu.com/276128/ [00:18] but...chrisa_, i use 'sudo' followed by adduser with no probs :) [00:18] hey folks - new here so excuse me for asking questions perhaps in the wrong forum, but i'd like to know why the admin account i created during install has no permissions to create a new account <-- ubuntu does not make use of a administrator=> root account, the first account you create, however, has sudo rights, which means you can SuperUserDO actions [00:18] Any help? :-\ [00:18] this is an irc-chan, and not a forum btw... ;) [00:18] Nadroj: Could you please pastebin the output from running "sudo sh -ex /var/lib/dpkg/info/acpid.postinst" ? [00:19] hmm, to satisfy my curiousity (long time since i installed ubuntu...well...6 months), is the root account enabled as default? If it is, I don't remember setting the password... [00:20] !root | keld [00:20] keld: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [00:20] http://paste.ubuntu.com/276129/ [00:20] chrisa_: usually when you try to do administravie things through the gui a password box will appear asking you for your user-pw [00:20] jeiworth: What do you mean it has no permissions to create a new user? System > Administration > Users and Groups will let you add a user once you unlock it with your password, or you can run "sudo adduser" [00:20] thanks LjL [00:20] is the root even there? [00:20] chrisa_: in the console, you need to use sudo to have the system start the program with administrative rightd [00:20] -d+s [00:20] jrib: thanks, the md5sum was off, and as it turns out our file was only 128MB [00:21] root is always there in some shape or form [00:21] Jordan_U: ?? [00:21] way smaller than the 8.04 install should be [00:21] when i open the GUI for users and groups, the add user button is greyed out as not being selectable [00:21] pulseaudio really suck why ubuntu has to include it? [00:21] Yey, fjords!!! [00:21] shane2peru, I do have audio. And I can record. What I can't do, is hear the sound from my microphone in the headphones while recording. Or at all, actually. [00:21] Casandrax: yes, but in ubuntu the password for root is not set which basically disables any human login with root [00:21] the account ive logged in with is the only account i created when installing [00:21] sudo su will of course do the trick [00:21] jeiworth: Sorry, that was meant for chrisa_ [00:22] i dont even remember setting a root passwd :( [00:22] Jordan_U: kk ^^ [00:22] jeiworth: Does slack still have have NULL :) [00:22] chrisa_: click 'Unlock' first. [00:22] (you'll need to enter your password) [00:22] : what can be wrong with this main server of efnet? [00:22] Casandrax: hmmmm good question that, never used slack [00:22] jeiworth - i just manned sudo to see how that works [00:22] jeiworth: It could be argued null is none and void ;) [00:22] still cant get both nvidia cards to work 9500gt with ubuntu [00:23] chrisa_, the button is greyed out because you have to unlock the application in order to edit. [00:23] chrisa_: excellent idea [00:23] Casandrax: or zero ;) [00:23] jeiworth: root / moot / hoot ... Cool either way [00:23] ;) [00:24] hehe [00:24] Is it possible to run a command in a CLI only failsafe session to remove ALL ubuntu packages that are installed on top of the main core of ubuntu in order to cleanly change desktop invironments as cleanly as possible and then installing another desktop with apt-get install? [00:24] chrisa_, if you like to read and understand, then you might want to read about PolicyKit as well. It's the one who greyed out your button :) [00:24] o) [00:25] thanks...i see the unlock button ;0 [00:25] a little more advanced question....[adding updates to a persistent usb drive, will not make ubuntu unable to run as a live user? [00:25] and yes, policykit - next read [00:25] need to be able to run it from usb for many differnt systems [00:25] jeiworth: im making some attack prevention codes etc. Could it be nice to block portscans based on how many ports a certain host is connected to you think ? [00:26] How do I move things around on my taskbar (like clock etc) on ubuntu [00:26] shawn_: right click then move [00:26] shawn_: right click the item then make sure 'Lock to Panel' is not checked, then move [00:26] mgv1: no idea, try asking on efnet :) [00:27] linuxguy2009: hmm take look at telinit manpage, i think that is what you are looking for [00:27] shawn_: or middle click drag [00:27] i want to install ubuntu from the beggining but my hard drive is encrypted using the alternate cd - where do i put all my files before installing ubuntu again? [00:27] jeiworth: thank you [00:27] : ok :) [00:27] linuxguy2009: you can of course always switch to a terminal (alt-shift-f1 e.g.) and then simply kill gdm === fallen is now known as Guest63376 [00:28] phogg needs to learn the jedi way ;) [00:28] ctrl+alt+f2 i tried "update-manager -d" and it threw an error. then i did it in a terminal window and it worked fine...any ideas? (jaunty) [00:28] tried = typed [00:28] kdesu does not work is there a config thing i can use to make it work [00:28] thanks for the help folks, im sure i will be back [00:28] hi [00:28] jeiworth: ahh not even close to what I asked. sorry hehe [00:28] linuxguy2009: ah yes, ctrl-altf it is, sorry [00:29] how do I ssh and get graphical interface? [00:29] I just want to know if there is a command to remove ALL installed packages rather than going through with synaptic an d manually doing it. I mean gnome and all. Just leave the base system. [00:29] linuxguy2009: ok, then jump to a treminal with e.g. ctrl-alt-f1 and then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [00:29] Is aptitude what I need? [00:29] ssh -XC -l UserName HostName [00:29] ctrl+alt+f2 i tried "update-manager -d" and it threw an error. then i did it in a terminal window and it worked fine...any ideas? (jaunty) <-- it was a runtime error? [00:29] linuxguy2009: aaaah ok [00:30] linuxguy2009: aptitude purge ubuntu-desktop [00:30] got it shane2peru ? [00:30] xguru: doesn't that command launch a GUI window? [00:30] do anybody use ubuntu on a ps3 [00:30] Casandrax: I think it is ssh -X [00:30] linuxguy2009: aptitude, apt-get or dpkg, whatever you favour ;) [00:30] jeiworth: Will that not just remove the meta-package called gnome-desktop? [00:30] can i get some help? [00:31] shane2peru: C means use client libs, incase the servers have none [00:31] linuxguy2009: what are you going to replace gnome with? [00:31] linuxguy2009: it should remove all apps included as well as long as they are not needed by any other packages [00:31] shane2peru: C is faster if you have them [00:31] bastid_raZor: it does in a terminal window in the gui...but originally i was doing it from alt+ctl+f2 [00:31] linuxguy2009: however, i am not really sure [00:31] I [00:31] #windows [00:31] Nadroj: What version of Ubuntu are you using? [00:31] Casandrax: how do I set that? on the client install what? [00:31] shane2peru: And you most likely do, right ? [00:32] Casandrax: now sure I follow you. [00:32] shane2peru: terminal window ? === Darren is now known as Guest637 [00:32] linuxguy2009: seems you're right :-/ [00:32] xguru: well what i'm getting at is that may require X to run that program. [00:32] Casandrax: yes, I have terminal. :) [00:32] Ah where did nitro go :-x [00:32] He was helpingme [00:32] lol [00:32] GO GO GO!!! :) [00:32] do anyone have ubuntu on a ps3? [00:32] Casandrax: usually that is the way I log in, but some times I need gui on occasion [00:33] Nadroj: What version of Ubuntu are you using? [00:33] when i swhich mouse buttons the mouse pad is acting like right button. why can i do? [00:33] btw, how can i clear the selection for installing/deinstalling packages in aptitude? [00:33] bastid_raZor: you must be right, thanks :) [00:33] Hardy I believe. [00:33] stender: #ubuntu-ps3 is a good place to look. [00:33] bastid_raZor: Well I make my own repository disks and I want to have the main ubuntu CD and then be able to test out as many desktops as possible by removing the old and installing from my repo DVD. [00:33] shane2peru: guis rule, if they rule, which they do, when they rule [00:33] later....going to try the 9.10 experience... ....wish me luck.. [00:33] Casandrax: so ssh is all setup, but sometimes I need gui, then -X is the way to go right? What is the -C thing? [00:33] any major issues? [00:34] linuxguy2009: ahh, check out !purekde to see what packages it wants you to remove to get rid of gnome completely. ignore the install portion. [00:34] Nadroj: "lsb_release -a" should tell you [00:34] Casandrax: it is for my kids computer, I have them setup with timekpr (awesome time keeper for Ubuntu) but it is messing up, and I have to use gui for that. [00:35] I've just installed adobe air [00:35] Casandrax: brb, gotta run down and fix their ip setup to static [00:35] what is the command line program to run a .air file? [00:36] can anyone give me simple way to connect with proxy? [00:36] alguien sabe cual es el canal de para age of empires?

[00:37] i was using miro for a bit it used to work [00:37] guys, around a week ago, mp3s stopped playing on my Jaunty system. I can't figure out what's going on. Here's a pastie of trying to play one with mpg321, and then running it through strace. (http://pastie.org/626760) Any ideas? [00:38] problems also occur when using rhythmbox [00:38] how can i split a file into several archive files to later re-join them ? [00:38] tim1671 with split and cat [00:38] Excuse me. could someone help me? [00:38] tim1671: http://defindit.com/readme_files/split-cat.html [00:38] i just got ubuntu 9.04 and the volume controls on my laptop do not control the volume, how do i fix this? [00:39] jbwiv_: cool i'll have a look at those, thanks [00:39] my volume controls cause the volume indicator on the screen to appear [00:39] tim1671: no problems [00:39] who know some channel for age of empires? [00:39] guys, around a week ago, mp3s stopped playing on my Jaunty system. I can't figure out what's going on. Here's a pastie of trying to play one with mpg321, and then running it through strace. (http://pastie.org/626760) Any ideas? This also occurs with rhythmbox [00:40] I just recieved the Ubuntu 9.04 dic today and it seems that when I try to install it, a bunch of words appear and then the screen goes dark and nothing happens [00:40] looks like irc channels in hebrew apear in gibrish. anything that solve that? [00:41] shane2peru: Im using my girlfriends windows computer. If it blinks or the symanticcs antivirsyth tells me i may be at risk again ill throw this thing out the window /hehe (A true horrorbox) [00:41] Hi, I keep getting this notice running Ubuntu 9.04 - [00:41] jbwiv_: are you by any chance on kde? [00:41] use ultimate 2.3 it is wicked [00:41] mgv1: Make sure your client is set to UTF-8 [00:41] my volume controls cause the volume indicator on the screen to appear and change, but it does not affect the actual volume setting according to what i hear and according to the alsa mixer [00:41] lol [00:42] ok i'm useing program but i had to run as root to make it work but i don't want to be root to make it work so is their a quick way to change the permissions of a group of files [00:42] jeiworth: no, gnome [00:42] Moon_Doggy: what program? [00:42] jbwiv_: strange, thought only kde used pulseaudio...anyway, check this guide:http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup [00:42] : where it should be in? and also, im not sure how to make xchat to connect several channels on startup [00:42] boondoklife blootbot [00:42] What should I download to convert an aiff file to a wav file? [00:42] Casandrax: just tell her it had a virus and you fixed it, (install Ubuntu) :) [00:42] jon_: right click then select preferences, what is the volume controls actually controlling? [00:42] Why won't my disc install the os so I can dual boot? [00:43] jbwiv_: you have this in your log: ALSA lib pcm_pulse.c:626:(pulse_prepare) PulseAudio: Unable to create stream: Invalid argument [00:43] HDA intel alsa mixer [00:43] jbwiv_: seems like alsa is not able to connect to the pulseaudio server [00:43] mgv1: Hmm, it'd probably be in server properties or global preferences or something. Someone else in the channel can help you with xchat, I'm sure. [00:43] when i change the volume in the mixer, it changes, but not the volume buttons on my laptop [00:43] jeiworth: ok, interesting...I'll check that. thanks [00:43] jbwiv_: np [00:44] jeiworth: sigh...yep...stupid hung pulseaudio process. Killing it fixed the issue. Thanks! [00:44] who was having the install problem that i was helping? [00:44] : ok [00:44] jbwiv_: :D [00:44] how can i limit my own pc....? [00:45] localhost__: install visat *fg* [00:45] */scnr [00:45] Why won't my disc install the os [00:45] I just got 8.04 in the mail today [00:46] shane2peru. Yeah, i really really want to because it makes me so inneficient (Trapped behind evil) /Semi Metallica etc, heh. The cumputer is a "HP pavillion Entertainment pc". The shift buttons/etc have been cut into half size so you cant type very fast [00:46] but when I go to install it, a bunch of words pop up and the screen goes black. [00:46] shane2peru. But i can obviously turn the laptop screen all around... whenever i would possibly wanna do that :) [00:46] jon_: try different devices to see which works. [00:47] only that one works, but again, it works, it is the graphical volume indicator that pops up that is incorrect [00:47] the alsa mixer is correct [00:47] what about proxy? how can i find a proxy to connect with? does anyone can see my ip? [00:47] jon_: that i don't have a clue about. [00:47] ok, thanks [00:48] If I want to use lsof in repeat mode to see what files a process accesses, how would I go about this? for example: lsof -r -c who doesn't output anything when I actually run it, and then run who in a different console on the same system, what am I missing? === carlos is now known as Guest42752 [00:49] Just upgraded to Jaunty, konqueror is having horrible display artifacts on page scroll. Known issue / fix / workaround? [00:49] is anyone else familiar with the volume indicator? [00:49] hi. if I set files and folders to the octal permission 700 and the user and group to user X, does that mean that only root and user X can read, write, or access these files and there is no back door for someone else to access or even view these files (besides zero-day, unpatched exploits or simply using a different linux OS where you have root, of course)? [00:49] And sorry, I'm unfamiliar w/ Ubuntu's BTS, so a gentle nudge in that direction.... [00:49] collag: That's the general idea. [00:49] collag: If you want a higher level of security, encrypt the files. [00:50] karsten: is that a 'yes'? :P [00:50] collag: Aye. [00:50] karsten: I already encrypt the whole hard drive. I'm talking about access while the hard drive is mounted. [00:50] How can i set a higher priority for a network interface? I want my computer to use LAN before WLAN if both are available. [00:50] collag: 700 would be user only, no one else group or otherwise would be able to access them [00:50] collag, oui, if you want to make it private just encrypt your home directory, that's what i do [00:51] collag: Right. Encrypted drive will get you around the problem of someone stealing your disk and attempting to read your files. If they can back-door the system while the FS is mounted, you lose. [00:51] !chmod | collag [00:51] collag: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [00:51] [06:45] localhost__: install visat *fg* <== i m googling but not found...? what is meant..? [00:51] collag: It's all about your risk/threat model. [00:51] collag: What's your goal? [00:51] localhost__: visat=>vista [00:52] localhost__: it was a joke :P [00:52] wekekekkekkeke [00:52] well, I realize that I'm doomed if an attacker gets root. but I want to cover the case that an attacker gets access to my system with an account that is not root. and I want to prevent him from accessing these files when the FS is mounted. [00:52] X31: touch script.sh && chmod 755 script.sh (add a while with hook parantheses around a one/1 then add a "do". After this add your commands, and then "done" ) (I hate this cumputer) [00:52] Nadroj, [00:53] jeiworth <== may i PM u...? [00:53] collag: That's the intent of chmod / file perms. Encryption gives you a further leg up. That is all. [00:53] hi [00:53] does anyone know where the settings are stored from the compiz config settings manager? [00:53] bobbyd: It depends on which backend you use [00:53] I often want to just disable compiz temporarily, but I lose my custom settings when I do that [00:53] okay, thanks. [00:54] soreau: whatever comes as default with jaunty [00:54] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3dOZVDu8vlw#t=1m20s [00:54] bobbydÖ if done correctly it should be in /etc/compiz-config-manager/*settings*... [00:54] bobbyd: Install simple-ccsm and then a Custom option will appear in addition to normal and extra [00:54] bobbyd, that would be gconf backend [00:54] jeiworth <== may i PM u jeiworth [00:54] where can i find some good 3D desktop icons [00:54] so mabe I should ask: is there a way to temporarily disable compiz but keep my settings? [00:54] Casandrax: thanks, but the -r option for lsof puts it into repeat mode so it basically "listens" for a process which starts with who (-c is the process name), it shouldn't need a scripted loop since the loop is built-in, there's either something wrong with my syntax or with the way I understand the concept [00:55] bobbyd: When using Custom, your settings shouldn't be reset. You have to install simple-ccsm package for it to appear [00:55] bobbyd: metacity --replace [00:55] bobbyd: will replace comviz for the current session [00:55] Biovore: thanks [00:55] bobbyd: Normal and Extra automatically use a predefined set of effects. But if you install simple-ccsm, a Custom option will appear that will save your settings [00:56] X31: So basically you need a "See if the process has died and then do something" ? [00:56] how can i limit my own pc....? i m using ubuntu [00:56] localhost__: limit what? [00:56] soreau: yes, but to disable them I'm going to "normal" and then when I go back to "custom" my settings are gone [00:56] Casandrax: what I would like to do is track down which files are accessed by the process, lsof seemed like the tool to do it with [00:56] localhost__: limit what? limit internet trafic [00:57] in my own pc [00:57] localhost__: Send it to crummy schools, taunt it, feed it poorly, and don't fund it adequately. [00:57] hello, can someone help me with my wireless issue in GOS? [00:57] bobbyd: You should go to 'None' to disable. Then back to custom. As soon as you select normal or extra, your settings will be gone [00:57] wooowee. i think todays update to chrome's linux version is the first to have flash enabled ... kool [00:57] localhost__: rate limit.. take a look at QOS and Traffic Cop.. There sorta a pain to setup though.. [00:57] soreau: thanks for your help earlier, but i still havent gotten it fixed [00:57] !QOS [00:57] localhost__: Um. Shoot for a slightly clearer statement of what you're trying to do. QoS is probably generally what you're thinking about. The question "why" comes to mind. [00:58] Sorry, I don't know anything about QOS [00:58] !TrafficShaper [00:58] Sorry, I don't know anything about TrafficShaper [00:58] I would assume QOS for torrent downloads and response times for gaming? [00:58] Biovore: its not qos, its GOS [00:58] Biovore: deritive of ubuntu [00:58] crackheadjunky: ever thought of quitg the crack, you might have a clearer view of things [00:58] X31: Skip the -r and make a diff between newfile and oldfile taken on the previous run from the script (ok in practice but from exp i do it in c) [00:58] crackheadjunky: Sorry, my internet went out then I took a nap [00:58] crackheadjunky: Quallity of Service. [00:58] crackheadjunky: QOS wasn't for you [00:59] Biovore: oh, thanks [00:59] soreau: thats ok [00:59] soreau: i couldnt figure it out, so i quit too [00:59] Anyone here manage to get openvpn 2.1-rc11 working on a 9.04 server edition of ubuntu? im having trouble getting openvpn to execute a script when var's are passed to it [00:59] crackheadjunky: Now let me see if I can find any info about what I was thinking of earlier. In the meantime, can you please try: sudo apt-get install apt-file && sudo apt-file update [00:59] QOS: Qute Operating System [01:00] soreau: ? [01:00] Konqueror bug previously mentioned: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/369266 [01:00] i want to limit every download from my terminal, like using HTB or CBQ [01:00] crackheadjunky: That will install apt-file and update it so we can use it to track down the kernel object you need with: apt-file search ath9k.ko [01:00] Already filed.

[01:02] unfortionaly what your asking for is sorta a complex deal. [01:02] Casandrax, actually the problem I think is I want to specify the default sound device === adam is now known as Guest77778 [01:03] X31: Im saying... iterate a loop and look once per pass for anything you wish to catch ? [01:04] Guest33995: change to some unused nickname === Guest33995 is now known as unusedhopefully [01:04] lol [01:04] haha [01:04] :)) [01:04] ok so I have 3 sound devices on my comp [01:04] well done [01:04] audigy 2, onboard and hdmi on vidcard [01:04] X31: with strace you can log what a process is doing when you start it manually [01:05] soreau: complete but i have to reboot [01:05] brb [01:05] Audigy is actually ok. Original fujitsu motherboars suck though [01:05] Casandrax: I understand, a loop would certainly work, I had just hoped for lsof, a loop may miss some really short process while lsof wouldn't [01:06] Is Fujitsu still selling computers btw ? === synegy is now known as synergy34 [01:06] zsquareplusc: thanks will look into it === synergy34 is now known as synegy34 [01:06] dont think so casandra [01:06] not under the fujitsu name at least [01:07] unusedhopefully: good, maybe they wont pack those onto unknowing peoples that wants their computers to actually work more then a few weeks before their HDs burn out... over and over and over again === Sirisian|Work__ is now known as Sirisian|Work_ [01:08] So Casandrax u think you can point me in the right direction [01:08] Biovore <== whould you like to see my PM === Sirisian|Work_ is now known as Sirisian|Work [01:08] about how to set my default device in alsa [01:08] soreau: ok im back [01:08] Biovore <== whould you like to see my PM [01:08] I'm needing help with my pidgin. I reinstalled ubuntu, now I can't seem to get it to work. [01:09] Hit it with a hammer [01:09] or give us some more details [01:09] No. I like my laptop [01:09] unusedhopefully: Hit tab or space etc a few times.. youll get it [01:09] I'm using a wireless connection and all I see for pidgin is a power plug. [01:09] lol what ? [01:09] Like it's trying to connect [01:09] #arabe [01:09] crackheadjunky: Now, you did 'sudo apt-file update'? [01:10] yes, but it didnt return anything [01:10] # arabe [01:10] soreau: sorry that one did the last one didnt [01:10] crackheadjunky: What? [01:10] Ammon: got any details about what's not working? [01:10] soreau: i did that and it updated my file [01:10] unusedhopefully: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alsamixer [01:10] soreau: the last cmd didnt return anything though [01:10] crackheadjunky: Ok, now does 'apt-file search ath9k.ko' give any output? [01:11] no [01:11] netboot installation? dnsmasq not starting? [01:11] soreau: no but i will try it again now that i have updated the apt-file [01:11] thanks casandrax [01:11] unusedhopefully: Np, youll be ok [01:11] that returns nothing [01:12] soreau: that returns nothing [01:12] unusedhopefully: Usually its just about cranking up the volume etc :=) [01:12] crackheadjunky: ugh.. that means your distro packaged your kernel without building ath9k module. What kernel version are you running? (uname -a) [01:12] Hi Guys - Question: Problem with SSH on ubuntu 9.04 - I just set up a private key to ssh, and copied it to the remote server - then I restarted SSH (/etc/init.d/ssh restart) on the remote server - When I try to ssh now, it says "Agent admitted failure to sign using the key" and I just have to type in my password - whats wrong here? [01:12] I know casandrax i was on gentoo some years ago...but now I have to find how to specify once and for all, wich device I want alsa to use by default [01:13] soreau: Linux gateway 2.6.24-24-generic #1 SMP Sat Aug 22 01:06:14 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux [01:13] crackheadjunky: Ok, sec [01:13] How can i set a higher priority for a network interface? I want my computer to use LAN before WLAN if both are available. [01:13] because i am using movie player (?) in xubuntu and the speaker icon and all sound related options are greyed out [01:14] !details | Maritim [01:14] Maritim: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [01:15] unusedhopefully: nowdays those are called HD most likely. Gentoo is nice, although i think their package manager could have been made easier at the time. Ive written one that could be better i think. [01:15] I have another question. I"m trying to use my bluetooth mouse in 8.04 and everytime I connect it, my computer freezes. [01:15] crackheadjunky: Yea, your distro is apparently based off hardy lts. You need ath9k and in order to get it you need a newer kernel [01:15] dragon: you should throw that one at the guy which actually had the problem. I was the one asking him for details about what was not working :p [01:15] mib_mib: you're supposed to copy the public key part, not the private key, to the remote server [01:15] Maritim: oops my bad [01:15] soreau: so how do update the kernel? [01:16] !details | Ammon [01:16] Ammon: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [01:16] dragon: sorry - i misspoke- i moved the public key (id_dsa.pub) [01:16] Just what I said. I try to pair my bluetooth mouse with my computer and it freezes on me. [01:16] I'm running 8.04 [01:16] Anyone else having problems with getting to the keyserver atm? [01:17] hi, I'm new to this server and at this moment I would like to know if there are some chennels here, where you can just be.. not serious ;) A hint from someone? Or do I have to check the whole chan-list? [01:17] crackheadjunky: That depends on you distro. Is there any reason why you're not using ubuntu? [01:17] hey im trying to get gnome-do to speed up but the thing is when my mouse is on it it moves ok but when i go from not being on it to on it it will lag [01:17] mib_mib: first, you should be using RSA instead of DSA. Second, it's probably a bad key-file name or permissions on the server. This guide should help - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Keys [01:18] how does insmod know where the modules are, i dont want to have to type in the full path to the module to insert it [01:18] soreau: this is a netbook, and it will not boot with 9.04 on the usb key [01:18] ok fixed another one. Who needs something [01:18] soreau: crashes every time it tries to use the live cd and the regular install even after disabling everything [01:18] my thunderbird got stuch in the middle of message sending [01:18] dragon: okay - i just changed the permissions of it, namely: 'chmod go-w ~/.ssh/authorized_keys ~/.ssh/ ' would that have any effect? [01:18] What are the top two free open source shopping cart solutions for websites ? [01:19] unusedhopefully: But then again, i only code some stuff that most dists uses. Odd though that only Debian, Slackware and Mandriva etc wants to chat/get updates on progress etc. Redhat/Fedora lacks severely here, though they are using a few apps === prince_j1mmys is now known as prince_jammys [01:19] crackheadjunky: Hmm.. well I'd say do a dist-upgrade but if the live cd fails, it may fail after the dist-upgrade as well [01:19] mib_mib: it should work now. If it doesn't, check /etc/ssh/sshd_config [01:19] nice to see you're contributing casandrax [01:19] soreau: i dont have a cd drive, so it would have to be with the usb key image [01:20] at the end it continiued [01:20] soreau: can i do that in linux? an upgrade? [01:20] unusedhopefully: Hehe, began in 1996 [01:20] ;) [01:20] invoke-rc.d inetd stop [01:20] invoke-rc.d: unknown initscript, /etc/init.d/inetd not found. [01:20] ? [01:20] webbb82: it is probably because gnome-do is based on mono and mono is a bloat. [01:20] crackheadjunky: Yes but I'm not sure I'd recommend it since the newer image fails. Have you tried intrepid 8.10 from usb key yet? [01:20] I have an NTFS mount. Can someone tell me how I can make it so that my normal user can like execute applications, etc from this mount? Currently everything is owned by root so I can't chmod anything to +x or chown the files since its NTFS. Any help to this will be appreciated. [01:21] hi. i have ubuntu 9.10 workstation, and mythbuntu with samba share on it. for some time now i'm unable to browse the network shares on the mythbuntu box from my ubuntu. it sees the workgroup, but when i click on it, it displays "failed to retreive share list from server". at the same time findsmb displays the mythbuntu box [01:21] : are you a linux support guy? [01:21] any idea what i should try next? [01:21] soreau: no, i havent. i dont have that image on usb key, but i guess i could get it [01:21] sorry sorry [01:21] mgv1: Sure, why? [01:21] i tought im in a different channel [01:21] crackheadjunky: Try Intrepid 8.10 [01:21] !fstab | ldlework [01:21] ldlework: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [01:21] Casandrax u know what I dont even have an asound.conf file [01:21] !karmic | ludmil [01:21] ludmil: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 29th, 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [01:21] inetd is in /usrb/sbin/ could that be the problem? [01:21] crackheadjunky, sounds like you got a bad .iso burn on your usb. try donig a checksum on it [01:21] soreau: ok, will do. [01:22] : i was thinking that im in israel channel [01:22] or .asoundrc [01:22] mgv1: Oh, no [01:22] kevin|demarest: as easy as: update-rc.d --- 123 . ? (We need to fix this wont we ?) [01:22] nitroD: i did, its not a bad image, i used 2 diff images, and also was able to install GOS [01:22] kevin|demarest: you have a directory called /usrb ? [01:22] dragon : my fstab line is : [01:22] /dev/sdb1 /media/data ntfs-3g rw,user,fmask=0111,dmask=0000 0 0 [01:23] dragon: :( [01:23] which should be all users read/write right? [01:23] unusedhopefully: Maybe the name changed or you need to check the logs .. [01:23] crackheadjunky, did you use the usb startup creator of the live cd or from an .iso file in ubuntu? [01:23] also, smbclient -L servername does not find the server, but smbclient -L servername -I works ok and lists shares [01:23] k thanks [01:23] np [01:23] nitroD: iso file but from windows, the way i was instructed on the ubuntu site [01:23] dragon - my bad, it is 9.04, not 9.10, sorry [01:23] : :) [01:23] hmm.... [01:23] ldlework: replace the "rw,user...dmask=0000" part with "defaults,errors=remount-ro" [01:23] How come windows is the world leading operating system [01:24] danny: a good question for #ubuntu-offtopic [01:24] !ot | danny [01:24] danny: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [01:24] danny: because mac isn't. lol [01:24] burn a live cd and install it to the usb that way. windows doesn't copy crap rigth espcially for boot options [01:24] Casandrax: not that easy...but I'll look it up [01:24] Ow sorry LjL [01:24] i have a live cd of 8.10 how do i burn it to the key? [01:24] crackheadjunky, burn a live cd and install it to the usb that way. windows doesn't copy crap rigth espcially for boot options [01:24] Does anyone know if there is any firefox plugin to tell websites I'm running windows instead of linux? I'm having a major conflict with the website that google chrome is distributed on because I'm a linux. =( [01:24] kevin|demarest: it should work if you have /usr/sbin on your PATH variable. Try `echo $PATH` [01:25] nitroD: i have a live cd of 8.10 how do i put that on the usb key? [01:25] any software to connect internet automatically in ubuntu [01:25] crackheadjunky, restart the computer and have it boot from cd with the live cd in it. then under system>admin you'll see create usb start up [01:25] easy as that [01:25] kevin|demarest: A hint and some inspiration is nice, but itll be even more nice when you have solved it yourself ;) [01:25] FuRom: look for something that causes firefox to send a fake User-Agent header. [01:26] FuRom: yes, you can change the user agent line in different ways. Try #firefox [01:26] any software to reconnect internet automatically in ubuntu [01:26] working... [01:26] nitroD: i dont have a cd rom, that would get rid of my problem completely if i did [01:26] If I write an Email and Sign it with PGP and send it to a windows computer how can they verify that signature, how about if I send it to another Ubuntu Computer? [01:26] mycomputer: reconnect under what circumstances? [01:26] prince_jammys, thanks. It's been a while since I've done header spoofing. I didn't remember that it was User-agent.

[01:47] RS: I have no idea if you mean the ISP gave you a router or if you are connecting your computer straight into a jack [01:47] iDontCare, and if you can download the 9.04 iso it might do ya better [01:47] oh, I just picked the disk because I thought it'd be easier.

[01:52] hi guys, 9.04 here, i'm trying to set up memcached, but it says "bind(): Address already in use" - how do i find out what is at this address? I want to do "sudo memcached -u www-data -p 11211 -m 32 -d" [01:52] i will be given a signature file and it opens a pogram called verify signature, it wants me to open a file ,,, what do i do next? [01:52] gotta a quick very noobie question. If I log onto the first user name I set up is that root? Or is it admin? [01:52] dragonlyre: No, it's just a user that has admin capabilities [01:53] iDontCare, it should default to ubuntu if the installation is complete.. but i have never installed from wubi and it SHOULD ask you what and how to install during the installation [01:53] how to configure "sudo" to allow everyone to run commands as nobody? sudo -u nobody command... [01:53] ok thanks, I was getting confused and figured I should get it straight [01:53] hmmmf [01:53] you mean like "install in windows" and "Demo version" [01:53] ? [01:54] dragonlyre, it'll ask for passwords when you need to be the su (superuser) [01:54] I installed ubuntu on a USB drive, with vista on my main hard drive [01:54] you should read the wubi link.. if you have a live cd.. like the one from the mail. yes those 2 options are there.. but i am not sure in wubi [01:54] i will be given a signature file and it opens a pogram called verify signature, it wants me to open a file ,,, what do i do next?\ [01:54] Bigbucks, and it's not running [01:55] when I unplug the USB drive, it still loads the grub, and it wont load Vista without my usb drive in and I choose it on the menu [01:55] right, but a admin can add/remove programs and not mess up the shell right? [01:55] Bigbucks, you installed grub on the mbr [01:55] Brando753: I'm not familiar with that, but my guess would be you need to indicate the file that the .sig file is the signature for [01:55] correct dragonlyre [01:56] if I did, ubuntu did it itself [01:56] :( ubuntu 9.04 has way too many problems for my laptop and 8.04 has a few problems too but 8.10 runs best and have almost zero problems but what happens when support for 8.10 stops? [01:56] sweeeeeeeeeet! :) thanks for clearing that up [01:56] Bigbucks, it's defaulted [01:56] how do I change it [01:56] Bigbucks, easy fix. [01:56] whats the fix then [01:57] Bigbucks, get your windows cd out get into the recovery console and type fixboot [01:57] ... [01:57] I dont have the time to do a recovery [01:57] woodyjlw, hopefully 9.04 will be fully supported ;) [01:57] no no no it's not like installs windows all over again [01:57] i'm sedning you a query Bigbucks [01:59] geez.. people think ubuntu is hard to install... i've been trying gentoo in vmware for 2 days [01:59] hi guys, 9.04 here, i'm trying to set up memcached, but it says "bind(): Address already in use" - how do i find out what is at this address? I want to do "sudo memcached -u www-data -p 11211 -m 32 -d" [02:00] was that a botattack from hijacked computers? [02:00] Out_Cold, yeah 9.04 broke my ati 200m and my sound card and my synaptics touchpad and my broadcom wireless got real weak and droped net a lot, only problem with 8.04 is bluetooth. but 8.10 works great with everything [02:00] jrib: evolution is sending my signatures as .asc not .sig? [02:00] was what an attack? [02:00] Brando753: k [02:01] woodyjlw, what you can learn is taking your old drivers and loading them into the new kernel.. also you can d/l the drivers and modprobe them [02:01] woodyjlw: I have had lots of issues with 9.04 on my laptop as well. The good news is that by the time 8.10 is out of support 10.4LTS should be out. I am also hopping 9.10 resolves some of the random freezes I have had with 9.04 [02:01] ahhhhhhhhhhhh, I just updated and my touchpad isn't working anymore [02:02] there's got to a be a clever soluation to revert my last update [02:02] anyone know? [02:02] the way i see it.. if you don't break your system.. you aren't trying hard enough :p [02:02] x is also hosed [02:02] woodyjlw: For my primary laptop that I do the most of my work on I will leave it at 8.10 until I have vetted 9.10. [02:03] jrib: so how will i verify the signatures then? [02:04] yeah I would love to learn more about how to load drivers and such with ubuntu. can do it all day long in windows but I am done with windows I will stay with linux now that I know what true freedom is and I just have a new learning curve now :) even with all the bugs I cant force myself back to windows [02:04] woodyjlw, saame here.... [02:04] switched 2 years ago and haven't looked back [02:05] woodyjilw: switched a year ago havnt needed to go back :P [02:05] a couple of books and a few all-nighters will get ya caught up [02:05] so I guess I am safe with 8.10 then for a while [02:05] ubuntu ROCKS! [02:06] even with bugs its still better [02:06] Brando753: if you are using evolution, then it should do the verification on its own... As I said, I only know how to work with gpg directly, not with the gui you are using [02:06] woodyjlw, afraid of updates? [02:06] no I have seen updates fix many problems in the past [02:07] I need tree view sidebar on exaile [02:07] ive been playing with ubuntu now since 7.4 I think [02:07] jrib: I want to learn how to do it from gpg [02:07] !offtopic [02:07] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[02:35] henryfranz2005: how do you tell "all files" in shell language? [02:35] mikepett, well... first while it says "grub loading press esc for menu" press ESC.. and pick "recovery" mode... and then in there you should search the start up scripts.. I think best to google it to find where exactly blutooth is located [02:35] clamiax: *, right? [02:36] Yes, it's '*'. [02:36] clamiax: MAybe you can help me? [02:36] brax, I don't know.

[02:37] brax: no, not quite [02:37] Oh, sorry, said it in another room by accident. [02:37] here. When I try to edit a file then afterward save it a msg says that "can't open fiel to write" what is that?

[02:37] Out_Cold [02:37] mikepett , well why not try [02:37] s/actual problem is/what you're trying to accomplish, what you've tried to do so far, and why you think it isn't working the way it should/ [02:37] si senor? [02:37] Okay, so, I went to pendrivelinux.com and downloaded the ubuntu 9.04 kit. [02:37] I wrote down some onf the things it said while I was trying to install it. [02:38] "timer not connected to IO-APIC" [02:38] I did all of the things it told me to do, and it gave me no error messages. [02:38] "Res 40/00.00.00.00.00/00.00 emak ox4 timeout [02:38] henry, you have no write access to that file, I guess. [02:38] is dnsmasq used on any network hardware? [02:38] dios_mio: well I could just randomly try things on my own, which I've been doing :) which is why I came here so someone could tell me how vs. random try this or try that. :) But I'll give it try I suppose.

[02:39] I'm starting to wonder if this is even worth it. [02:39] So, when I reboot, the BIOS boots from the usb device, and I see the little load icon and it bounces back and forth. [02:39] is linux any good? [02:39] hello, can someone recommend a good file browser to use with fluxbox? whenever I use nautilus, it takes over a bunch of other stuff. [02:39] brax: ah. Try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromImgFiles probably "Command Line Interface" [02:39] mikepett , well I gave you my own advice.. if you cant boot then you are supposed to try the recovery mode.. it is like the safe mod of windows [02:40] iDontCare, no. It just sucks less. [02:40] And back, and forth, and back and forth AGAIN AND AGAIN. It finally displayed what somewhat resembled a terminal.

I understand I can do this without wiping out everything with the gparted live-cd, but I am wondering about the Vista partition boot flag. Will gparted automatically set the Ubuntu partition [02:43] boot flag, or will I have to reboot again with the gparted livecd and set it manually? [02:43] nope [02:43] hello. i just read in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq that I need a swap partition to be able to suspend ubuntu to disk. i installed ubuntu on my macbook, according to the tutorials (and my expierience) for this, i cannot add another partition, so I have to use a swapfile. is there any possibility of getting suspend to disk work anyway (i.e. using hibernate or something)?

[02:47] deamonunix, have pfsense's NAT give your webserver a static internal IP based on its MAC address or something [02:47] t obe forwarded? [02:48] yes... [02:48] dios_mio: nitroD: that thread tells me to edit a file and then reboot... which I can't do since I am installing from CD. Maybe I didn't explain it properly, but this is during the first boot during the install process I can't edit files located on the cd during from recovery mode. Anyway removing --quiet splash from the boot parameters worked. [02:48] deamonunix, I suppose, is your external IP static and your domain linked to it, or are you using dynamic dns? [02:48] yup..i am using dynamic DNS from my ISP [02:49] they have given me 5 dynamic IP ad [02:49] say, if I actually have a working WinXP installation on my computer, but I'd like to boot it virtually while still running ubuntu. without having to reboot. what should I use? it seems like VirtualBox doesn't give me that option. [02:49] so what should i do? [02:49] great, now I have no keyboard or mouse functionality.. I thought Linux installs were much improved now! :) [02:49] well just have pfsense's nat forward port 80 to your LAN webserver, then someone should be able to type http://you.yourisp.net/ and access your website [02:50] deamonunix, ^ [02:50] this is reminiscent of installing Redhat 6.1 on my old hp laptop years ago === _RaNdY is now known as RaNdY [02:50] mikepett> there are. you sure you don't have bluetooth card on there? [02:51] hello, can someone recommend a good file browser to use with fluxbox? whenever I use nautilus, it takes over a bunch of other stuff. [02:51] so i ned to forward port 80 to my pfsense? [02:51] not that I know of... let me see if I can find specs... its Acer Aspire AM5641-B5540 [02:52] I'm gonna google it and see if I can find out for sure [02:52] pls help me [02:52] I backed up a drive image (spanned across a few files) on another computer using dd. I was told I could restore it with the command "cat x* | dd of=/dev/sda1" but when I try to do this I get a permission denied error (even when I use sudo). [02:52] M4rotku, you can check out rox-filer - it's kinda minimal, mind you so is fluxbox [02:52] Grr, I deleted my nm-applet from the bar, any way to recover it ? [02:53] So I'm trying to disable the popup notifications when I change volume, etc. I've removed the executable bit on the program notify-osd, now I still get the notification but it's in the center of the screen rather than top right [02:53] oiiiiiiiii [02:55] is it safe to reboot the server when regular fsck is running on the big drive? [02:55] thanks ZykoticK9 [02:56] I have a major problem with Ubuntu jaunty. I'm not sure what is wrong with it, but when I press ctrl+alt+f8, I expected the old school terminal, but I think the refresh rate is off or something, because all I see is a static-ie line at the top of the screen that looks like scrolling text. [02:56] n-iCe: nm-applet actually isn't an applet - it displays itself in the Notification Area applet. [02:57] * nitroD booosh. [02:57] what's next [02:57] n-iCe: so if you are missing it, then either a) you need to re-start it [`nm-applet --sm-disable &`] or replace the missing Notification Area applet on your panel. [02:58] what does %k represent in a .desktop file? [02:59] ksw [02:59] kde* [02:59] nyu_> did that work? [02:59] nothing [03:00] peepsalot: i think ive seen that documented at the 'freedesktop.org' site [03:00] nyu_> crazy. i would just make a launcher to them then [03:00] peepsalot: see the .desktop file spec, http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/ar01s06.html [03:00] well, not entirely nothing, it added my cd drive to the places menu [03:00] peepsalot: proberly a filename/path/url [03:00] O__o [03:00] nyu_> you can still get to them and see all the files on them by other means though? [03:00] yeah [03:01] nyu_> you got me. [03:03] well... [03:03] im stumped [03:03] nyu_> you got us stumped [03:03] i tried remounted and nothing [03:03] remounting [03:04] nyu_> try kicking it. i heard taking it with you swiming helps alot too [03:04] heh [03:05] they don't even shw up in the places menu? never came a across this [03:05] lemme try a full reboot [03:05] nope [03:05] k === uhohdani1l is now known as dani|el [03:08] #hardware [03:08] oops. [03:08] hi, i narrowed my resolution problem down to needing fglrx.ko module, but after updating synaptic all the fglrx pkgs are installed, but i did download a .run from ati's website. [03:08] would the .run work [03:09] nothin [03:09] I'm trying to set up nis and i'm getting this error when switching users - su: Authentication service cannot retrieve authentication info [03:09] nyu_> got a big magnet [03:09] i just realized i have another issue that may or may not be related [03:09] whos excited for Karmic? [03:10] grub is f-ed up and ubuntu will only boot with supergrubdisk [03:10] hey nyu i been there.. [03:10] it sucks [03:10] hey... i applied an icon theme but in avant-window-navigator, some icons stayed the same (firefox for example) (even after restart), how can i fix that? [03:10] hello, where does gnome remember the mount device? it mounts one of my partition with root access only, how can i change it. [03:11] luist: change the icons manually in Awn's settings [03:11] nyu start from the beginning... [03:11] i did.. [03:11] cordor: in terminal do "sudo nautilus" [03:12] Does anyone know of any apps that are like WinABX for double blind listening tests of audio codecs and bitrates? [03:12] linuxguy2009: wine should work ;) [03:13] Kasm279: so i have to load every png 1 by 1? [03:13] Kasm279: and then? [03:13] Kasm279: Oh yeah thats true. I fogot about that. Thanks [03:13] luist: yes [03:14] cordor: you should get a window [03:14] that window has root access [03:14] 'chang the permisions of hte partition to your user [03:15] my friend's laptop suspends fine with s2disk from uswsusp but not with whatever the quit menu uses, how do i override the quit menu? [03:15] hey, anyone know of drivers for an S3 UniChrome Pro K8M800? === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [03:15] so... there are a bunch of power management packages (powernowd, cpufreqd, cpudyn, powersaved...). Anybody know which are better for laptop battery life? [03:15] Kasm279: oh, i don't want to access the partition as root. should i modify the fstab? [03:15] i'm installing karmic, and i've got raid+lvm setup. can anyone help me get grub2 working with this setup? [03:15] cordor: i dunno [03:15] I have 4096 MB ram, and installed 64-bit ubuntu. When I use "top" from command line I see that in the memory section it says 3988 MB of ram, is that normal? [03:15] cordor: whats the CPU? [03:16] Sdaros: yes [03:16] Sdaros: you using ram for video? [03:16] Sdaros: does your laptop have shared RAM? [03:16] lol [03:16] jinx [03:16] no6t exactly [03:16] grr [03:16] i hate this keyboard [03:16] Ubuntu 9.04 64 bit : My screen goes blank after about 15 min after the screensaver starts, power management is set to never on both the monitor and the Hard disk, after a couple of hours the computer locks up forcing me to shutdown using the power button. Other than power management, I have no Idea where to start. searching google, ubuntu forums, and launchpad didn't help at all. [03:16] Kasm279: I have Nvidia 9600 gt videocard, with restricted drivers installed on my desktop. No shared ram. [03:17] :\ [03:17] Sdaros: its normal though [03:17] Kasm279: okay thank you :) [03:18] question. does ubuntu support or ever going to support steam and steam games to the fullest ? thanks [03:18] Sdaros, do one thing. What is the second line in the output of "free -m" [03:19] orudie> you trying to play fulltiltpoker aren't you [03:19] hello [03:19] no, company of heroes [03:19] haris: "Mem: 3895 1095 2799 0 70 404" thats the output [03:19] orudie> oh, you try using wine? [03:19] sh: line 1: free: command not found [03:19] lol [03:19] i have in the psat with CSS it was really bad [03:20] orudie> it's not ubuntu's choice, it's steams [03:20] Sdaros, That says that out of 3895MB, 1095 is used and 2800 MB is free. However, the second line normally has more information (the line that begins with -/+ buffers / cache) .. [03:21] haris: "-/+ buffers/cache: 619 3275 [03:21] " okay thats the line after that [03:22] Please heeelp [03:22] so there is no point of even trying yet ? [03:22] I removed network-manager-gnome !! [03:22] Kasm279: cant i copy all the icons to an specific folder at once to make awn recognize them? [03:22] What can I do to connect to the internet?!?! [03:22] im trying to install amarok but keep getting these errors amarok-utils: [03:22] Depends: libtag-extras0 but it is not going to be installed [03:22] wee [03:22] luist: i dunno [03:22] That's interesting. Normally you subtract the second line from the first line under the "used" column to find actual used, and you add the 2 columns under "free" to find total free, but you seem to have more free than total memory itself .. that's odd [03:22] Ubuntero, what do you usually use to connect? [03:22] lol [03:22] network-manager-gnome, isn't that installed by default? [03:22] Ubuntero: what do you mean? [03:23] Ubuntero: yes [03:23] cable/dsl/modem? [03:23] Ubuntero, what were you trying to do? [03:23] nitroD, ^^ [03:23] dsl [03:23] orudie> yes? [03:23] wireless [03:23] Ubuntero: what wifi card do you have? [03:23] so there is no point of even trying yet ? nitroD [03:24] never used dsl [03:24] Ubuntero: if its broadcom let me know [03:24] haris: strange :S [03:24] Kasm279: if, iwl3945, [03:24] well they have new versions of wine, but i would dual boot or try a vbox [03:24] Ubuntu 9.04 64 bit : My screen goes blank after about 15 min after the screensaver starts, power management is set to never on both the monitor and the Hard disk, after a couple of hours the computer locks up forcing me to shutdown using the power button. Other than power management, I have no Idea where to start. searching google, ubuntu forums, and launchpad didn't help at all. [03:24] but what's that about [03:24] I need any internet client, to connect [03:24] my wireless card works fine [03:24] ah [03:24] im still running on 800x600 and don't have the fglrx module, the ati drivers wont extract [03:24] how can I conect using iwconfig? [03:25] i did, iwconfig wlan0 essid name, and the same with key [03:25] so... there are a bunch of power management packages (powernowd, cpufreqd, cpudyn, powersaved...).

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [03:26] Kasm279> that i think would be a NO! [03:26] if I actually have a working WinXP installation on my computer, but I'd like to boot it virtually while still running ubuntu. without having to reboot. what should I use? it seems like VirtualBox doesn't give me that option. [03:26] what are you trying to accomplish? [03:26] nitroD: wha? [03:26] how do you enable init.d scripts to start at boot? [03:26] it was a joke about the bot commands [03:26] oh lol [03:27] is there a chkconfig equivalent for ubuntu? [03:28] ok, so I went into my bios (still trying to install 9.04) and change to "failsafe options" and now I can get to the welcome screen without freezing on "starting bluetooth" or having to change any boot options... but my usb keyboard and mouse doesn't work. Any ideas? [03:30] dft re: init.d -- update-rc.d is probably what you're looking for [03:30] I have an NTFS partition that works fine in windows and worked fine until earlier today in Ubuntu, I have run chkdsk in windows and tried to fix it from Ubuntu but so far I can't mount it at all in Ubuntu. What else can I do? [03:30] ZykoticK9: great where can i find the "restricted drivers manager" [03:31] im wondering, will winXP only recognize 128GB of a hard drive? [03:31] demonspork, have you tried to mount it with type ntfs-3g [03:31] how does one check what is running on a given port? I run memcached on 11211, but how do i check what is running on each port? 'netstat' doesn't seem to catch this [03:31] mechdave, yes [03:31] is network-manager in the cd? [03:31] Kasm279, xp can recognize up to 500gb from my experience, probably more. [03:31] mib_mib: try netstat -alp [03:31] hi i have a problem .. i hope some1 can help .. my problem : i wanna make a proxy server that users can connect not from lan from internet and can use msn webcam and sound chat... How can i solve this problem. i am newbie on linux and ubuntu [03:31] LOLZebra: System, Administration, Hardware Drivers [03:31] mechdave, that is also what fstab tries to mount it with on boot [03:32] LOLZebra: i have a 250GB drive in my laptop and olny ubuntu knows about anything past the 128GB [03:32] Kasm279, bios is probably showing it wrong then [03:32] demonspork, when you try and mount it from terminal is there any errors? [03:32] try to force bios to update [03:32] LOLZebra: no, its not :\ [03:32] oh :s [03:32] demonspork, what (if any) output do you get when you try to mount the drive from a terminal? [03:33] i had an old bios that wouldnt see anything over like 100gb and i had two 250gb in there under linux heh. [03:33] also there are no drivers under the hardware drivers :\ === bmwracer0_ is now known as bmwracer0 [03:33] this is relaly annoying at a low resolution [03:34] kermit i didnt know you go to so many channels on here :O [03:35] mechdave and ZykoticK9, holy cow, it just randomly worked this time, I have been working on this for 30+ minutes, thanks for your attempts to help [03:35] demonspork, no worries [03:39] did i break anyone's brain yet?

Im looking for a good portable cross platform build system. [03:41] is there a way I can get alt+f2 to work for the run dialog while I have gnome-panel turned off?

[03:59] firefox-3.5 firefox-3.5-branding ubufox [04:00] ready things on ubuntu 9.10.....where is people geting that ubuntu is trying for a 25 sec bootup....im already geting 20 sec on 9.04 [04:00] is there a way I can get alt+f2 to work for the run dialog while I have gnome-panel turned off? [04:00] hey folks - anyone know why it seems webcam makers are exclusively owned by microslop? [04:00] CARMANO: That should work. The dependencies SHOULD get installed with it too, so give it awhirl. [04:00] demonspork: dont repeat yourself [04:00] ok i got to get going. later all [04:01] FloridaGuy: I heard they were trying to get 8 sec bootup in 9.10 [04:01] demonspork, might be able to set hot keys in admin menus [04:01] Or is that 10.4 [04:01] lol some Macs boot in 3 seconds [04:01] hello, i was wondering if there was a way to use apt-get to install something but local to the user only? (so that you don't need root access) [04:01] thanks bobertdos [04:01] Kasm279, I said that like 30 minutes ago... [04:01] SSDs boot ultra fast [04:01] i have 3 cams in the house, every friggen one offers only microslop drivers...what the #$@! [04:01] is there a way to search packages useing commandline and apt-get? [04:01] anyone have a idea why the weather isn't showing in the date and time area ? [04:01] Cyrano_De, 10.4 i think...with sdd drives [04:01] apt-cache search [04:02] Desmond: sudo apt-cache search searchterm [04:02] Desmond, if you want to search via CLI use aptitude [04:02] is there a room for hardware support? [04:02] ** browse [04:02] CARMANO: I came in late, so just so I know, what's the original problem you're trying to resolve? [04:02] apt-cache does not require sudo privledges. [04:02] fiber_ , Out_Cold: thanks [04:02] Cyrano_De: my bad [04:03] Out_Cold, the run dialog box is a function of the panel, I need a good replacement for it that I can bind to a key combo, because without the panel I can't get the same dialog. [04:03] I was trying to install latest firefox version [04:03] fiber_: Not bad, just an fyi. Always good to limit privledge escalation where it is not needed. [04:03] but instead of 3.5 I got 3.5.4 shiretoko [04:03] and its a pre-release [04:03] I dont wan it [04:03] trying to get ubuntu to recognize a logitech webcam, any pointers, references? [04:03] !shiretoko | CARMANO [04:03] CARMANO: FF3.5 is referred to as Shiretoko on your UI, see http://is.gd/1reB3 for an explanation [04:03] but I was unable to remove it either [04:03] demonspork, i use yakuaki but it's a whole terminal [04:04] is called up by F12 [04:04] CARMANO: Its not the pre-release, its the final version, please read that link [04:04] yeah but it was very different [04:04] well in the about [04:04] it said [04:04] pre-release [04:04] demonspork: I think there are some other "run" command options in the repos. Look in the Miscellaneous - Graphical sections [04:04] CARMANO: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:04] blah [04:04] ok sorry [04:05] demonspork: You may need to enable the multiverse repos to get at most of them. [04:05] what was reason they keep firefox separate ? [04:06] read the link ^^ [04:06] CARMANO: Try it, see if it gives you what you want. If you're really that set on it, you could install the official Mozilla build instead. [04:06] well it didnt work any ways, just reinstall firefox 3-5 and this is what appears at the about: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.1.4pre) Gecko/20090922 Ubuntu/9.04 (jaunty) Shiretoko/3.5.4pre [04:06] what exactly is gtk [04:07] moo. [04:07] webbb82: In a nutshell, it's the framework used in Ubuntu for GUI's. [04:07] mmm.. milk [04:07] Hey everyone. [04:07] what is the best theme manager for ubuntu [04:08] !best [04:08] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [04:08] My wife is annoying the crap out of me when she changes my wallpaper. I need to know how to keep the wallpaper I have (active) and no way for her to change it. Is there anything such as a command I can do to keep this wallpaper restricted from being changed? [04:08] webbb82: it's a programming thing, check out Wikipedia for "GTK" and you'll get WAY more than you'd ever thought. [04:09] webbb82, most people use gnome or kde.. but that's more so for high end graphix users [04:09] CARMANO: The branding that the link discusses includes the useragent string. [04:09] StevenMyers log her in guest account [04:09] webbb82: It depends on how fancy you want to get basically. Metacity is standard if you just want to stick with standard themes and decoration. Compiz is used if you want to get into 3D effects and so forth. [04:09] OHHHH!!! [04:09] SnakDoc you gave me an excellent idea. [04:09] Thank you very much [04:09] :-) [04:10] StevenMyers or her own account ... [04:10] StevenMyers: You might look into kios mode as well. [04:10] SnakDoc: Agreed. [04:10] Cyrano_De: How? [04:10] yea.. there isn't a guest pass is there? [04:11] StevenMyers: i think you'll find marital discord along that path [04:11] (the blocking thing) [04:11] hi, I currently have Ubuntu 9.04 and Vista installed in a dual boot scenario (with grub), and the Vista partition is the boot partition. I want to completely delete/format the Vista ntfs partition and add the remaining space/format to the Ubuntu ext3 partition. I understand I can do this without wiping out everything with the gparted live-cd, but I am wondering about the Vista partition boot flag. Will gparted automatically set the Ubuntu partition [04:11] boot flag, or will I have to reboot again with the gparted livecd and set it manually? [04:11] StevenMyers: pessulus - lockdown editor for GNOME, [04:11] astronut: It's annoying because she will use her windows xp but when my ubuntu is she freakin changes it... [04:11] so just give her her own account [04:12] Cyrano_De: I have that but it does not have that option. [04:12] astronut: Going to now. [04:12] StevenMyers: KDE 3.5 had some great utilities for setting up Kiosk mode [04:12] Cyrano_De: Got KDE on the way ;-) [04:12] StevenMyers: I agree with astronut that she should have her own account. [04:12] Would install via USB on boot but I'd like to have the disk instead. Don't feel like burning it either. [04:12] StevenMyers: sudo apt-get divorce ? [04:12] LOL [04:13] lol [04:13] LOL [04:13] No that is out of the question :-P [04:13] I love my wife to DEATH [04:13] She will get half of your dual-boot. [04:13] StevenMyers, keyloggers are widely available.. [04:13] legend2440: is that an install, remove or purge switch? [04:13] lol [04:13] StevenMyers: purgr [04:13] LogicFan: Grub may need to be updated once you do it, but if you have the LiveCD, that shouldn't bee too difficult. [04:13] purge [04:13] purge? [04:14] does ubuntu or any linux installeasily on those old g4 apple desktops (2002 models...) [04:14] prince_jammys: She has 36.7GB of free space, she is good to go [04:14] yea [04:14] Balsaque, i would assume so.. mac is after all unix [04:14] Balsaque: try puppy, but i heard fedora has an active ppc devel team, not sure about ubuntu [04:15] bobbob1016, updated to remove the old Vista partition? or do you mean in regards to the boot flag? [04:15] is there any advantage to useing emerald for themes === kevin|de1arest is now known as seidos [04:16] Out_Cold: G4 was pre OSX. They used openfirmware. That being said it should still not be THAT difficult to install a PPC distro on one. [04:17] LogicFan: I mean in regards to flag, which is to say, where grub loads. Although, by default, that should be on the Ubuntu partition already. [04:17] !emerald | webbb82 [04:17] webbb82: emerald is an obsolete window decorator for compiz. It's unsupported and unmaintained, making issues with it very hard to diagnose and fix. There are no known, supported alternatives. [04:17] ok [04:18] (out cold, Desmond) yeah seems like a perfect match too me, i see those old g4 desktops cheap every so often [04:18] bobertdos, since i installed Vista first, Ubuntu second, the Vista partition is boot [04:19] Ok. To those who have helped, I appreciate it very much for the ideas. I have created the user account "Guest" for her and the password she knows and set privileges. Also set when the screensaver goes off that it kicks back to the login screen which will FORCE her to log into her account. [04:19] pls help me to up my own website using my exixting ubuntu 9.04 desktop ed [04:19] LogicFan: Which is why you'll probably need to point grub back to Ubuntu when you're done. [04:19] because im using dynamic ip from my router [04:20] !dynamicdns [04:20] Sorry, I don't know anything about dynamicdns [04:20] anyone ih here actually running an apple with a linux OP [04:20] Too bad... [04:20] bobertdos, couldn't i just set the boot flag for the ubuntu partition with gparted? [04:21] is there a way of doing "Line in" or "wave out" in Ubuntu? [04:21] LogicFan: Possibly, but I've never done it that way before, and besides, Grub may or may not recognize that. [04:22] !grub [04:22] GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [04:22] gOLDfeesh: depends on your hardware and what program you're using [04:22] just wondering is there a better plugin for WMV than the default totem plugin? [04:22] on firefox [04:23] !medibuntu [04:23] medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [04:23] obf213, have you tried the mediaplayer connectivity plugin for firefox? [04:23] obf213, you can try using the VLC one [04:23] thiebaude i dont need info on the media repository i'm mearly asking for an opinion [04:24] obf213, i just relized that [04:24] yeah i use the basic totem plugin, i've tried the vlc on it doesn't seem to work, i was just wondering if they snuck a superior one in ther and i didn't notice === sunshinepants1 is now known as sunshinepants [04:24] obf213, what about mplayer? [04:25] bobertdos, I'm not using ANY program really lol. that's why I'm asking [04:25] it works for me [04:25] i'll try that [04:25] obf213, ok, good luck with it [04:26] gOLDfeesh: Well, try using Audacity and fiddling with the Audio I/O preferences in there. [04:26] ACK, don't like audacity [04:26] obf213, when i used vlc a couple times before i didn't have sound [04:26] yeah its funky [04:27] i just want something that actualy lets me skip content without breaking [04:27] bobertdos, basically using all audio coming from my soundcard because passed as Line-in / Wave out [04:27] but i use mediaplayer connectivity plugin for firefox and i can choose which player i want to use, obf213 [04:28] Helo? [04:28] thiebaude, what is the name of that package i dont think have it [04:28] is it in the repos [04:28] gOLDfeesh: Yeah, Audacity should allow you to do that. [04:28] i had to google for mediaplayer connectivity [04:28] Cyrano_De, thank you, I found several and am taking my pic of them [04:29] obf213, im not sure if its in synaptic [04:29] ok [04:29] im trying to install a theme but i get a error saying i need to install ubuntulooks but in synaptic if i download ubuntulooks it tells me i need to remove ubuntu desktop any clue [04:32] is it possible through any sort of app to rdp in an ubuntu machine [04:32] ? [04:34] nyu_: rdesktop, and tsclient frontend. They work quite well. [04:34] cool [04:35] nyu_: I use them daily @W$ork [04:35] just wasnt sure what to look for [04:35] thanks [04:35] thiebaude, thanks so much for this plugin. vlc works much better than the vlc plugin and i can skip back and forth in the stream [04:35] nyu_: In the gnome menu it is Terminal Server Client [04:35] is it safe to uninstall ubuntu-desktop so i can installg gtk themes,,i heard that the package ubuntu-desktop is only needed for a dist upgrade [04:35] obf213, no problem [04:35] anyone installed ut2003 on 9.04? i'm getting "tail: cannot open `+266' for reading: No such file or directory" [04:36] Can I get a recommendation for a video editor that works well? [04:38] if i want to file a bug against the python packaged in ubuntu 9.04, how do I go about doing that? [04:38] !launchpad | Jerub [04:38] Jerub: Launchpad is a collection of development services for Open Source projects. It's Ubuntu's bug tracker, and much more; see https://launchpad.net/ [04:38] durt: yeah, I know about launchpad. [04:39] durt: but where exactly do I go there? It's a big site and isn't specifically ubuntu. [04:39] FYI solution for that error is at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1129279 -- new error now [04:39] Jerub, search bugs python, then pick the appropriate package.

[04:41] durt: okay, a little more help. am I searching on the 'bugs' tab for 'python' in project 'ubuntu' or am I searching for keywords on my bug within project 'python' [04:41] the first [04:42] what's currently the best bet for a gaming video card on Linux? Should I be looking at ATi or Nvidia? [04:42] brianV, Nvidia is my strong vote [04:43] ZykoticK9: That's how I lean as well. However, the RadeonHD driver seems to be making some great strides forward. I am starting to think it won't be long until they are on par with the NV binary driver [04:43] in the meantime, nouveau doesn't seem to be going anywhere fast [04:44] brianV, let's hope so, but talk is cheap [04:44] brianV, Nvidia has put out GL drivers for there cards for Linux, BSD, Solaris for years -- ATI has only recently started to get into the linux game -- I support companies that support the OS(s) I want to run. [04:45] ZykoticK9: but the Nvidia drivers (which I have used for years) are very poor. I can hardly call that 'support' from nvidia [04:46] meh, nvidia drivers are quite good, aside from being non-oss. [04:47] one last question how come some themes only change parts of the panel but others change the entire panels colors as in behind the words [04:51] so much reading [04:51] ubuntu: about [04:52] learning ubuntu/linux [04:52] Quick Virtual Box question... if it is installed on a 64bit sys does the guestOS have to be 64 bit or can they be x86? === seidos- is now known as seidos [04:53] I am trying to bind an application (gexec) to alt+f2, and it works find, only the applications opens in the bottom right of the screen rather than in the middle [04:53] DarkwingDuck: the guest can most likely be 32-bit [04:53] how do I fix it so it opens in the middle of the screen [04:53] lstarnes: Thanks [04:54] ubuntu: it's amazing, don't you think? [04:54] why for a simple udev rule like: KERNEL=="sda", SYMLINK+="disk0" am i getting the following error: update_link: no reference left, remove '/dev/disk0' [04:57] Does anybody use GAdmin Rsync? [04:58] wow, uncharacteristically slow in #ubuntu, everyone downloading alpha 6? [04:58] durt: everyone sleeping ;) [04:58] durt: the guys in #ubuntu+1 are the ones downloading alpha6 [04:59] even so, still slowfor this chan. [04:59] whats a good ide compiler for visual basic in linux? [05:00] huwaw69: mono ? [05:00] is it user friendly nanotube? [05:00] nanotube: mono isn't an ide [05:00] nyaaaaaaaah [05:00] is gambas ok? [05:01] lstarnes: but it is a compiler. :) [05:01] How would I set up a command to check if a drive is mounted BEFORE it rsync's data to it? [05:01] huwaw69: i thought gambas wasn't a true VB clone... but what do i know, i don't actually do anything in vb. ;) [05:01] well ok thanks ill just try it out [05:02] heya [05:02] roasted: grep -q /path/to/mountpoint /proc/mounts && rsync ... [05:02] does anyone know where I can find a driver that works with a "Diamond Stealth 64 Video VRAM PCI S3 Vision 968" video card? Been lookin on google but can't find anything for linux [05:03] I'm about to head off to trade school to learn to make videogames (or not). I'm determined to remain committed to Libre Software. Does anybody have any advice for me? Does anybody know about Full Sail University? [05:03] puddles - would that be in the same command? Like would I run what you posted, THEN rsync -r --delete /home/jason /media/storage ?? [05:03] Does Canonical have any ties (at all) to Full Sail? [05:03] once a ssh connectino is established; what's the command to see all the router a packet go through to arrive at destination?? [05:04] slanter: Does the xserver-xorg-video-s3 driver not work? [05:04] Roasted: yes [05:04] puddles - have you used GAdmin Rsync? [05:04] Roasted: no idea what that is [05:04] puddles - it's a GUI program to set up rsync backups. [05:04] i am so lost [05:05] puddles - I was thinking about setting up my rsync backups through there instead of the script I wrote, just to try something different. But I dont want to try it until I learn a few things baout it yet so I'm just asking around about it. [05:05] Cyrano_De: I checked to make sure that was installed a while ago, but thus far I've been unable to get it to work [05:05] so i got tsclient installed... what now? [05:05] on the floor [05:05] Roasted: for linux machines at home i personally use amanda and dumping to HD partition, with rotation (full / incremental) [05:06] zerothis: never heard of full sail... but that doesn't really mean much :) [05:06] puddles - Does amanda check to make sure the drive is mounted prior to running? I just dont want my backup drive to die and my rsync command push 500gb of data to the directory the drive WAS mounted in, cause then itd just dump it on root and root is only 20gb [05:06] i'm trying to disable my touchpad while typing, but syndaemon gives me an error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device [05:06] Roasted: configuration is pretty straightforward, and when you've set it up right it just keeps running === [daemon]_ is now known as [daemon] [05:06] slanter: I would think you need to set your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file up to use that driver or the xserver-xorg-video-s3virge dirver. [05:06] anyone? [05:07] rgggtrh [05:07] Roasted: so what if that's the case, it'd just fill up root but since you have root-reserved percentage you can still get things done [05:07] nyu_: applications>internet>Terminal Server Client [05:07] kandjar`: probably you're looking for tcpdump [05:07] puddles - right, but then if I reboot, I cant log back in. I've had this happen before and I had to boot to a live CD to explore the HDD and remote the data. [05:07] Roasted: and besides if your drive die it wouldn't die in such a way that it would be unmounted ... it'd just be mounted but partially / fully dead [05:08] yeah, i got that far [05:08] i want to remote in, not out [05:08] kandjar`: traceroute not working? [05:09] nyu_: tsCLIENT....It is for connecting to a windows remote desktop session. [05:09] i'm trying to disable my touchpad while typing, but syndaemon gives me an error: "BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device", any ideas? [05:09] i want to remote from a windows machine into my ubuntu box [05:09] Cyrano_De: i must not know how to use it; i keep getting unknown host [05:09] puddles - does amanda zip the entire contents of the directory to be backed up and dump that zipped file in the remote location you specify? [05:10] nyu_: There are several ways to connect to a linux machine remotely. vnc, freenx and my favorite is ssh -AYC ubuntu and run an xserver on my windows machine. [05:10] !cygwin [05:10] Sorry, I don't know anything about cygwin [05:10] nyu_: cygwin allows you to run x on windows. [05:10] well, is there a way to do it with rdp though? [05:10] posix unix enviroment for unix [05:10] (for windows) [05:10] hey all wsup [05:10] Roasted: amanda is client-server, the client (usually) dumps via dump command, the bytestream then makes its way to server (can be on same machine) and (optionally compressed) dumped to the specified destination [05:11] Cyrano_De, you can run X through ssh you dont really need cygwin for it [05:11] anyone know how to use the startup manager [05:11] nyu_: no, rdp is a microsoft server protocol. It is not open source. [05:11] nope [05:11] sigh [05:11] how come i cant highlight or tick the bootloader themes === The is now known as Guest71070 [05:11] puddles - so if I want to back data up from my home directory to a 2nd hard drive in my system, amanda probably is overkill? [05:11] celthunder: If you want to run graphical programs remotely you need to run a local xserver to display the window of the application === prince_j1mmys is now known as prince_jammys [05:12] I am having trouble on the 9.04 server install... I had a setup with 3 disk RAID5 using the whole drive... Now I want to change it use using partitions. but the installer seems to have a bug. :( when doing a manual partition. I go to partition a HDD is ask if I want to create a partition table, I say yes. It then says the drive is in use by a RAID and asks if I want to remove it, I say yes again. It then returns to the menu, but the RAID is still there : [05:12] ( how can I get rid of it? [05:12] problem is, i wanna remote into my home pc from work. and i cant install software at work. [05:12] anything that can run off of a flashdrive would work though [05:12] Roasted: it depends. do you want ability to do incremental backup? do you want to automatically handle rotation? [05:12] celthunder: Windows does not have X so it would not be able to "run X" through ssh === Guest71070 is now known as The_One [05:13] Cyrano_De, X11 tunneling [05:13] celthunder: X11 tunneling to what? He wants to connect from a windows machine. [05:13] nyu_: what's wrong with ssh/telnet? [05:13] puddles - honestly I'm not sure. My backups have always been a straight 1-to-1 backup.... like I'll just sync the data its in entirety. I've never ran incremental backups or packaged backups or anything. [05:14] puddles: im not sure i know how to do that [05:14] puddles - like I could literally open my /media/localbackup directory and it looks identical to my home directory, cause its just a sync off of that. No packaging. [05:14] Cyrano_De, from a windows machine install putty click the "X forwarding" optionand then connect to a linux machine that has X forwarding enabled as well === hey` is now known as grumete [05:14] putty has an X server built in? [05:15] Roasted: but you have 1 copy, right? or multiple copies? what about on specific date? can you find the copy you made on such-and-such date? that's what something like amanda (and of course commercial packages) can do [05:15] mb_again_: no, but it supports X forwarding [05:15] mb_again_: Not the last time I checked. [05:15] celthunder: he is connecting from windows at work and can't install any software. he needs a solution that can run from a flash drive. [05:15] mb_again_: there are X servers for windows, like Xming and Cygwin's X server [05:15] * BossaNesta hi guys, is there any irc room for hardware? [05:15] BossaNesta: that's not a proper use of /me [05:15] IdleOne putty can run from a flashdrive... [05:15] puddles - yeah, that might be overkill for what I need. But perhaps I should give it a shot anyway. [05:15] BossaNesta: I think you may want ##hardwarwe [05:15] what about just vnc home? Is there not a vnc server [05:15] mb_again_: So as I was saying, you need to install an X server for putty to forward X too. [05:16] BossaNesta: sorry, ##hardware [05:16] i'm trying to disable my touchpad while typing, but syndaemon gives me an error: "BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device" please, anyone? [05:16] puddles - because dpeending on compression level, I'm not sure how much I can back up. I mean I have two 500gb drives, but my main drive is using 211gb, so Im sure I can get 2 backups on there on my backup drive hwich is 500gb, but beyond that I'm not sure [05:16] puddles - its just a new concept to me so I'm trying to figure it out and learn as much as I can. [05:16] lstarnes thx.. [05:16] BossaNesta, searchirc.com [05:16] nyu_: as per celthunder from a windows machine install putty click the "X forwarding" optionand then connect to a linux machine that has X forwarding enabled as well ( putty runs on flash drive ) [05:17] Roasted: let's say you have one directory where you keep your development (suppose you're not using CVS :-) and you have generated files, these change on day-to-day basis but most files do not change. you accidentally delete one (or you find your generation is corrupted) and you want to go back in time to retrieve a known-good copy from 37 days ago ... with incremental, it's unlikely you have 37x the storage of the entire tree [05:17] durt thx.. [05:17] hi [05:17] Cyrano_De: I opened the xorg.conf file and have looked at the manual for it, but I'm still not sure of how to set up the Device section (I assume that's the correct one). When I opened the file the only thing in that section was a line that said 'Identifier "Configured Video Device"'. Based on the other sections I'm guessing I need to add a Driver line, but I don't know what to put on the line. [05:17] wow.. this is a really busy chatroom. [05:17] IdleOne, thank you finally someone understood what i said would work lol [05:17] puddles - right. I understand how itd be a smart thing to do at a business. But for me I'm just not sure if I have the disk space to accomodate that kind of backup, cause I know I couldnt go 37 days ago. [05:18] hi [05:18] hello [05:18] Roasted: 500GB disks are cheap :-) dedicate one for backup [05:18] +hello [05:18] puddles - but like I said, it depends on compression level too. If it can take a snapshot of 211gb and store it in a 5gb file, well yeah, I can handle that. But if it takes a snapshot of 211gb of data and stores it @ 200gb, well..... I can only replicate 200gb so many times. [05:18] jo_, hello [05:18] puddles - I am... [05:18] celthunder: again. X forwarding only works if you have an X server running on the host you are connecting from. Putty does not have an X server. It just handles the ssh tunnel and the forwarding. [05:19] puddles - I have 4 drives in my computer, two 500gb, two 250gb. The 500s are mine (1 to run on, 1 for backup) and the 250s do the same thing, but for samba network file sharing. One for samba, one for samba backup. [05:19] Roasted: that is correct, text files will compress much better. the good news is if your binaries don't change then they don't impact the incremental much [05:19] puddles - I cant fit any more hard drives in my tower unless I get a full size ATX tower [05:19] whats up === lipsin_ is now known as lipsin [05:21] puddles - perhaps what Ineed to do is test this small scale, like copy 40gb of data to a test directory and run a backup and see how much it can compress it. [05:21] hey anyone having problems with bootloader themes in ubantu [05:21] can anyone please tell me how to fix syndaemon so i can turn off my touchpad? [05:22] on my dual boot machine the sound is too low in linux but fine in win32, is there a way to turn up the sound past 100 [05:22] Roasted: use 'rsnapshot' for backup - it only stores changed files in a snapshot, the rest are just hardlinks to one unchanged file. very cool. [05:22] miramardesign: you might want to look at both "master" and "pcm" levels [05:22] miramardesign: try turning up pcm [05:22] nanotube - good tip. I'll write that down and check it out. It's amazing how many sync options there are for linux. I friggen love it. [05:22] puddles - thanks for your help brosef. I appreciate your time. [05:23] xming says portable x server for windows. Site has configs for ssh (use putty for example) i bet its easy enough to get on a usb drive http://www.straightrunning.com/XmingNotes/ [05:23] Roasted: no prob [05:23] puddles - I'll remember amanda and check out a couple things and see what works best for me. Take care! [05:23] Roasted: indeed. :) as everyone on this channel knows, linux r00lz. ;) [05:23] both master and pcm are at 100 :( [05:23] miramardesign: this is not pulseaudio is it? [05:23] miramardesign: straight up alsamixer right? [05:23] pud alsa i think let me check [05:24] HAD nvidia alsa mixer [05:24] hda nvidia alsa mixer [05:25] miramardesign: that's odd. check the other levels. usually at 100 you're already amplifying the sound (see the 0.0db = max, anything positive you're already boosting the levels a little bit) [05:26] k puddles, i changed the dropdown to pulseaudio, is it better?? [05:26] slanter: I think you can use Driver "s3virge" in your xorg.conf [05:26] slanter: man s3virge [05:27] miramardesign: try and see :-) i don't have the same hardware [05:27] oh god i had an s3virge.. i feel for you [05:27] i think pulseaudio sounds better, definitely a cooler name [05:29] alguien que able español por fa [05:29] slanter: http://www.x.org/archive/X11R6.8.0/doc/s3virge.html and http://www.x.org/archive/X11R6.8.0/doc/RELNOTES3.html [05:29] !es benja [05:29] Sorry, I don't know anything about es benja [05:29] !es [05:29] En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés.

[06:26] yeah I'm sure but you get my point? You don't build pkgs for one Arch or call your packs or iso AMD, that technically means it excludes Intel... [06:26] revenge, you are trying to install additional packages not needed [06:26] and as root.. i can't access even as root [06:27] oops.. it's late..

[06:27] g [06:27] revenge, and install them from the command line using the dpkg command [06:27] An AMD pkg or Intel pkg means it was built for that ARCH so to complement both you simply call your pkgs by the arch x86 or x64 is all [06:27] and the same for an iso [06:28] This is what Ubuntu is calling their iso ---> ubuntu-9.04-desktop-amd64.iso [06:28] AMD and Intell have the same instruction set..

[06:32] there still in most processors [06:32] seidos, i did; i got no output for any playback option [06:32] yes [06:32] As example unless the Xine developers changed Xine, it ran better compiled under AMD... [06:32] Jordan_U: it's the first time I've tried installing linux on this box... if it means anything I have the same problem with Mint (which is expected since it's an ubuntu variant) and Fedora. [06:32] its all enabled [06:32] for it's flags... [06:32] neil_d: With do-release-upgrade [06:32] arooni: did you try changing the sound device under playback? [06:33] !upgrade | neil_d [06:33] neil_d: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [06:33] revenge, "install" [06:33] seidos, i tried all the various drop down options in the playback section; none worked [06:33] Jordan_U: thanks. [06:33] neil_d: np [06:33] revenge, did the install work this time? [06:33] but still the Ubuntu dev shouldn't be calling pkgs and iso AMD, they should just be either x86 or x64.... [06:33] arooni: did you try lshw -C sound? [06:34] what's the diff between ubuntu and xubuntu? [06:34] hi all, I have never been able to take my system out of suspend/hibernate mode. My hardware is fairly new. Do I need to press a certain combination of keys to get it to come out of these modes or is it just not working? [06:34] seidos, running now [06:34] "it's made for humans" -xubuntu [06:34] doesn't tell me much [06:34] mikepett: Can you try removing the "splash" kernel parameter from the menu at boot ( F6 to edit the kernel parameters I think ) so you can see any errors? [06:34] I'm using ubuntu 9.04 [06:34] MrFSL: sorry i have been doing this all day, does this work: http://paste.ubuntu.com/276217/ [06:35] Jordan_U: sure, one moment [06:35] !xfce [06:35] Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels [06:35] Xgates: its call AMD because AMD invented the 64bit extentions.. Thats the only reason.. [06:35] seidos, output: http://pastebin.com/f53d08141 [06:35] Jordan_U: what i will be doing is almost the same except that apt-get source wont be used as i wget'ed the tarball from an external link.. in that case i wont have a .dsc,orgin.tar.gz and diff.gz files. how do i approach it in such a case? [06:35] please help im a newbie to this.. [06:35] Hello. Quick question. How can I tell if this is 64 bit ubuntu installed or 32 bit? [06:35] revenge, did you download the three packages I listed to your desktop? [06:35] jbu: Just not working, are you using any proprietary drivers like fglrx ( ATI ) ? [06:35] revenge, they don't seem to be there [06:36] arooni: module snd_hda_intel [06:36] Jordan_U, nvidia drivers [06:36] seidos, yes what about it? what should i do? [06:36] MrFSL: these? linuxsampler_1.0.0-1_i386.deb liblinuxsampler_1.0.0-1_i386.deb libgig6_3.3.0-1_i386.deb [06:36] Jordan_U, what is the button to get out of hibernate/suspend? Do I need to press the power button on the computer? [06:36] Jordan_U: I remember in the old days there was a parameter you could use to make the boot process stop once the screen was full until you hit any key to continue so you could actually read the errors flying by, does that still exist? [06:36] jbu: Usually the power button [06:36] Xgates, sorry haven't been following the thread but AMD64 is in reference the the amd64 architecture licensed by intel [06:36] arooni: I'm not sure, I don't have your nvidia based motherboard. either driver needs to be changed, or there might be a way to get snd_hda_intel to work with your hardware [06:37] Jordan_U, yeah that doesn't work either [06:37] revenge, that is correct [06:37] arooni: check out this how to. I used it to play around with my sound config, but I don't recall everything I did. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto [06:37] Xgates, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86-64 [06:37] does anyone know how to edit the windows list applet for icons only? [06:38] seidos, do i need the nvidia drivers to get sound working [06:38] arooni, no [06:38] Anybody know a quick way to check whether I'm running 32 or 63 bit ubuntu? [06:38] uname -a [06:38] Thanks [06:38] BUT look what the might Wiki says ----> The terms x86-64 and x64 are often used as vendor-neutral terms to collectively refer to x86-64 processors from any company. [06:38] LOL [06:39] anyhow... [06:39] Xgates, read on for a better understanding of the term amd64 and its differences from ia-64 and hence its canonical name and conventional use in packages built for said architecture [06:40] Jordan_U: getting this error... ehci_hcd unlink after no_irg controller, probally using wrong irq, usb 1-2 not accepting address 2, error 110, new high speed usb device using ehci_hcd and address 3... usb 1-2 not accepting address 3 [06:40] yeah but I hope you get my point, just be vendor netural :) [06:41] arooni: I'm not sure, but captnchaos says no, so the how to I sent you should help. You probably just need to put something in your sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf [06:41] I think I need more caffeine [06:42] arooni, i didnt get the full story, tell me what exactly you are about to do [06:44] Xgates, I fail to see the point. Intel refers to these chips as amd64 architecture ... so why would ubuntu refer to them otherwise [06:44] ? [06:44] captnchaos, i read over the link that seidos sent; trying to fix sound on jaunty on an asus p5ne-sli mobo with realtek alc883 sound. trying to specity actual model in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf [06:44] arooni, please poste what lspci says [06:45] lspci | grep Audio [06:45] arooni, or did you already do that? [06:45] MrFSL: are you still there? [06:45] revenge, yes [06:45] mikepett: Try adding the kernel parameter "irqpoll" [06:45] captnchaos, , havent yet secified specific model (which i believe is asus) [06:45] captnchaos, 00:10.1 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP51 High Definition Audio (rev a2) [06:45] here is arooni's pastebin for lshw -C sound [06:45] http://pastebin.com/f53d08141 [06:47] arooni, please nopaste dmesg, too [06:47] thanks Out_Cold... wasn't aware there were more interfaces beyond Gnome and KDE [06:47] what are the benefits/caveats of each? [06:47] MrFSL: ok i had to put them all into a folder in my desktop, how can i install them all in one command? [06:48] tehbaut, there are dozens.. its all in what you need and what you are willing to learn [06:48] captnchaos, http://pastebin.com/f63eef940 [06:48] revenge: open a terminal and 'cd' into the directory [06:48] revenge, if they are on your desktop open a terminal and then cd Desktop [06:48] arooni, try "sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel" [06:48] revenge, from there: sudo dpkg -i as I showed you above [06:49] captnchaos, ok now what [06:49] MrFSL, i did that much [06:49] no errors? [06:49] no errors [06:49] MrFSL, now after the dpkg what command? [06:49] than try to replay somthing [06:49] revenge, post the output [06:50] captnchaos, still cant hear anything [06:50] MrFSL, http://paste.ubuntu.com/276219/ [06:50] alsamixer shows => cannot open mixer: No such device [06:51] revenge, good looks like it all worked.. now you will need a frontend for linuxsampler [06:51] arooni, type "alsamixer" and take a look if somthing is muted. play around with the settings. if theres somethin like xxx-loop, mute it. [06:51] revenge, there should be qsampler in the official repos [06:51] captnchaos, alsamixer shows => cannot open mixer: No such device [06:51] aha [06:51] revenge, sudo apt-get install qsampler [06:51] MrFSL, i have qsampler already [06:51] what type of package should ss12 be ? (single binary, multiple binary, library, kernel module or cdbs?) [06:51] MrFSL, got it from add/remove programs [06:51] revenge, cool so run qsampler from terminal [06:51] k how [06:52] if using xfce, do I need versions of apps that work with it? how do I discern app compatibility when an app doesn't specifically say what it's made for? [06:52] !qsampler [06:52] Sorry, I don't know anything about qsampler [06:52] revenge, type qsampler [06:52] arooni, what does "asound -l" say? [06:52] what is qsampler? :P [06:52] or are there apps that work with any interface? [06:52] ewp, apt-cache show qsampler [06:52] Jordan_U: I'm in business... thanks a million, I've been working on this for a few hours now. Can't wait to see what's in store trying to get my usb wifi working. :) [06:52] tehbaut: With very few exceptions ( like panel applets ) all applications work in all Desktop environments [06:52] I just installed ubuntu, now I can't login as root... [06:52] captnchaos, command not found [06:52] ic [06:52] MrFSL, Nice it works! how do i open linuxsampler? [06:52] ups [06:52] ment aplay [06:52] mikepett: :) [06:53] revenge, qsampler runs linuxsampler for you [06:53] MrFSL, ah okay [06:53] sudo [06:53] where can i get the kernel-source for ubuntu 9.10? [06:53] revenge, linuxsampler runs in the background, it is not a graphical app [06:53] Jordan_U: so what about g/k specifics like gparted or the number of k* named apps I've seen in the package manager? [06:53] captnchaos, http://pastebin.com/f738e24af [06:53] hey does anyone know how to hack gnome-terminal into accepting CTRL-V to paste? [06:53] can someone help me install a windows 7 on my pc from ubuntu? [06:53] arooni, good that means your card has now a driver. [06:53] krejustin1979, why in the world would you install windows 7? [06:53] kre: why? [06:53] tehbaut, there are two types of 'interfaces' there are Window Managers and Desktop Environments.. KDE and Gnome are DEs and nearly all apps work on all interfaces [06:54] krejustin1979, ubuntu is all you need :-) [06:54] arooni, asoundconf list [06:54] because i need to use it for sending files and docs in word [06:54] captnchaos, name of avaialbe sound cards: Nvidia [06:54] Out_Cold: so what about g/k specifics like gparted or the number of k* named apps I've seen in the package manager? [06:54] for work and college [06:54] i use gparted in kde [06:54] asoundconf set-default-card NVidia [06:54] captnchaos, ok did that; whats next [06:54] I want it on a separate partition [06:55] again alsamixer [06:55] among other gnome items.. you just need the right libraries [06:55] gotcha [06:55] krejustin1979: make new partition, ntfs. [06:55] captnchaos, cannot open mixer: No such device [06:55] man its hard to play sounds ;p [06:55] hehe [06:55] tehbaut: KDE uses QT to draw it's widgets (buttons, menus etc) Gnome and XFCE use GTK to draw their widgets so QT apps match the look of KDE better and GTK apps match the look of GNOME / XFCE better [06:55] :) [06:55] krejustin1979: then install windows7, dual boot. [06:55] yea but the files to big to burn on a dvd how do i get it to that partition? [06:55] can u walk me threw it ? [06:56] MrFSL, k sorry, one question, if i have a usb microphone and usb midi keyboard how can i add them, and how can i make beats? [06:56] arooni, sudo alsa reload [06:57] Out_Cold: so I've seen comments about KDE being a bit more resource hungry... is that really just the case with the interface itself? Or is using apps with (KDE) libraries going to have a similar effect, as opposed to using a universal version of a (similar) app? [06:57] captnchaos, alsamixer still says no such device [06:57] Jordan_U: that makes sense then, thanks [06:57] krejustin1979: what size your hdd? [06:57] tehbaut: np [06:57] help [06:57] let me ask this then, what's better to develop for UI-wise: qt or gtk [06:58] hey all. I just installed openbox and am trying to configure it to automount my usb drives. i installed gnome-volume-manager, but how do i actually use it? i've read that i just need to add "gnome-volume-manager --sm-disable" to my autostart.sh, but I don't seem to have a gnome-volume-manager binary installed (command not found) [06:58] tehbaut, depends on how hungry those apps are... but no usually there isn't a huge diff using one app on different interfaces [06:58] any ideas? [06:58] captnchaos, any otehr ideas ? ;p [06:58] arooni, query [06:58] revenge, good questions I suggest you ask them in the ubuntu studio channel. I also suggest looking at hydrogen in the official repos [06:58] captnchaos, is that a package? [06:58] tehbaut: Thats a question to start flame wars but I would say probably qt but obviously both are popular [06:59] Mornin' [06:59] arooni, typ "/query captnchaos" in your ircclient [06:59] http://paste.ubuntu.com/276220/ <-- says "warning i'm missing full kernel sources" i assume that's what's causing it to not compile - can anyone give any other incite? [06:59] Jordan_U, it's the famous pepsi/coke conundrum [06:59] ** i meant tehbaut [07:00] MrFSL, one question does hydrogen run with qsampler? [07:00] Hi folks. I'm a new xubuntu user after xp was totally trashed by a virus. loving it. I have a 2nd hdd that I can access via gigolo. I can read but can't write because the drive is owned by root. can someone tell me what to do so I can save to that drive? [07:01] revenge, not that I know of... it is a standalone package [07:02] Hi room [07:02] MrFSL, nice, and if i have a usb device do i chose alsa? [07:02] MrFSL, nice, and if i have a usb device for sound i mean [07:02] i si\\indtalled smokeping but my graphs arnt diplayed [07:02] !hi | rpinto__ [07:02] rpinto__: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!

[07:16] Say on the minimual iso install it's asking me how I want to do updates, by default in Ubuntu isn't it set to not do automatic updates? [07:16] with compiz enabled, conky doesn't show up on every virtual desktop [07:16] Xgates: I think security updates are enabled by default in synaptic [07:17] hajmola: conky doesn't play well with compiz [07:17] can anyone tell me how to boot of a usb hard drive? [07:17] on ubuntu?

[07:17] lsusb then [07:17] revenge, ^^^ [07:17] krejustin1979, are you talking about creating a bootable USB or actually booting from a USB drive? [07:18] hmm I thought it would just notify you of security updates and then ask you what to do... [07:18] mcmlxxi, i don [07:18] just booting form a usb drive [07:18] mcmlxxi, i dont understand [07:18] revenge, type lsusb [07:18] seidos: I have an option to pick ---> No automatic updates [07:18] Xgates: during installation? [07:19] seidos: yeah I'm doing the minimual iso install over the net... [07:19] krejustin1979, that's not something "ubuntu" does. When you reboot your computer, there should be options upon startup that tell you to press a certain key for boot options [07:19] ok [07:19] seidos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [07:19] Xgates: if you change a setting, then it isn't default, I guess [07:19] mcmlxxi, it says Bus 007 Device 003: ID 041e:3040 Creative Technology, Ltd SoundBlaster Live! 24-bit External SB0490 [07:19] mcmlxxi, although what do i put under devices [07:20] Paul1957aa, so do you have this device plugged in at all? i suspect it's the /dev/sdb1 the 20GB one? [07:20] seidos: well I'm not sure with the ncurses gui install when it highlights an option that is considered the default or not [07:20] mcmlxxi, such as hw:0 etc [07:20] yes. the 20gb one [07:20] revenge, sorry, I am busy now [07:20] I can read it ok but not write to it [07:20] Xgates: never used the ncurses gui install [07:20] Xgates: no time [07:21] after that it says, 'Install security updates automatically' and manage system with landscape' [07:21] it's not a biggie really, was just wondering what Ubuntu used by default was all and I thought it just notified you when there were updates was all... [07:23] Paul1957aa, okay well were goin to add this to fstab so it'll read and write [07:23] I know what my install did by default :) [07:23] so I tried to put my new ubuntu install into hibernate, and it wouldn't come back so I did a hard restart. Now immeditely following the ubuntu splash loadbar screen I get static displayed on the screen and then it freezes. Any idea how to rescue this? [07:23] ok [07:24] Paul1957aa, get my message?

[07:31] I just did the minimal iso install, are there online docs to show me how to get Ubuntu up and going with X and a desktop? [07:31] seidos -- I use scp [07:31] I've been using sftp, and I get throughput of about of about 3 to 2MB/s [07:32] I didn't want to install Gnome so I opted to go this route but I thought the minimal iso net install would guide me through installing a system, but all it gave was a base system to run from the CLI [07:32] Bluey: do you know how fast it is? [07:32] Bluey: for you? [07:32] ymazlumyan, show the whole output. [07:32] seidos - no I don't I never measured it - but it doesn't require an ftp client - just ssh iirc [07:32] ftp server [07:33] Xgates: do you have the base installed ? what DE do you want ? [07:33] Xgates: its as simple as sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [07:33] linny: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Enlightenment [07:33] I want to get E17 so I wonder if I just follow that it will of course give me X and what I need...

[07:39] Xgates: so,i have to give it up [07:39] Bluey: scp looks to be about the same as sftp, I guess it's the secureness overhead [07:39] yeah -- [07:40] you can disable encryption and compression IIRC === crash1hd_ is now known as crash1hd [07:40] Bluey: though I will say I like scp, more intuitive command [07:40] Bluey: thank you [07:40] ok so I did a really really bad and dumb thing apt-get remove python [07:40] seidos - you are welcome -- [07:40] and went through with it [07:41] yowser [07:41] crash1hd: wowowowowo [07:41] crash1hd: so.. apt-get install it again ?

[08:53] WonderfunkJones: yep, they can be a pain [08:53] indus, nope [08:53] WonderfunkJones: i flat out refuse to buy them due to appauling support [08:53] ActionParsnip: hmm not really true, they have opened the drivers now and x fi works out of the box in karmic [08:54] ActionParsnip: Would onboard sound almost be a better option to go? [08:54] ActionParsnip: not as angelic as realtek though :) [08:54] WonderfunkJones: http://discuss.extremetech.com/forums/thread/1004398358.aspx [08:54] WonderfunkJones: yeah onboard is great really [08:54] indus, brb [08:54] indus: indeed, all my onboad stuff works out of the box [08:55] `brandon`: there is no such thing. [08:55] how to avoid this message when i run a script: Do you want to run "mus.sh", or display its contents? [08:55] WonderfunkJones: my realtek 6ch on board is just fine [08:55] hmm maybe I'll free up a PCI slot, it's getting pretty crowded in there... [08:55] ubuntu-pl [08:55] WonderfunkJones: but if you want true blueray or HD audio in movies, you need stuff like X FI [08:56] lucjan: try: /join #ubuntu-pl [08:56] i personally dont bother too much about sound, its no surprise that onboard is more than enough for most stuff, also amd chipsets are integrating hdmi onboard too [08:56] well I'm coming straight from windows and I miss some games [08:57] hello [08:57] Does anyone know much about using a tablet with ubuntu? [08:57] ActionParsnip, indus any idea how to get QuickSearch in Synaptic Package Manager back? (meaning not greyed out) [08:58] I'm trying to use the four buttons on my wacom bamboo tablet, and the scroll wheel thing too. The scroll wheel on the tablet only goes up but not down [08:58] crash1hd: if you run: gksudo synaptic is it ok? [08:59] the scroll wheel on the mouse is fine [08:59] I notice that when I right click on a file, and select 'create archive' that in this application in the 'advanced options' there's a grayed out option to separate the archive into specifically sized files, but for none of the compression types is this option un-grayed. Is there a package that adds more compression types (like rar?) where this might be available? [08:59] ActionParsnip, no [09:00] crash1hd: have you tried aptitude? [09:00] crash1hd: thats all i got, i always use apt-get [09:00] i have looked all over forums and guides for an answer to activate the buttons and scroll wheel on my bamboo tablet [09:00] meanieface, you mean apt-get? [09:00] !info aptitude [09:00] aptitude (source: aptitude): terminal-based package manager. In component main, is important.

[09:01] AstralAzure, are you sure the buttons don't work? Maybe ubuntu doesnt know what to do with them [09:01] trijntje, there's no way to set what the buttons [09:01] hello room, non of the applications are running on ubuntu server8.04 [09:01] do [09:01] indus, i am back and i do have libflash [09:01] and the scroll wheel only works in one direction [09:02] indus, but the thing was that my sound was working earlier [09:02] all processes are hung, can't ssh, only vnc is working [09:02] AstralAzure, so you are sure that the buttons do send events? [09:02] quickie: how can you autoimplement a theme? [09:02] wacom-tools doesn't see my tablet [09:03] can't start Terminal on the server [09:03] can anybody help me on this? [09:03] no applications can be run [09:03] it's like the server has ung [09:03] hung* [09:03] AstralAzure, can you run xev in a terminal and see if you get events when you use the buttons? [09:04] meanieface, didnt know about aptitude lol its neat but it seems that uninstalling and reinstalling synaptic fixed the problem :) [09:04] rpinto__: the server release goes straight to terminal logon [09:04] crash1hd: thats cool as long as its fixed :) [09:04] for sure [09:04] ActionParsnip.. i didnt get u [09:05] yeah it does [09:05] rpinto__: the server release of ubuntu doesnt have a desktop, it goes directly to terminal [09:05] i've installed gnome [09:05] trijntje, nothing happens when I press the buttons running xev, but I do see that the terminal is showing the pen is working [09:05] rpinto__: then you may as well have installed the desktop [09:05] ssh isnt working [09:05] how can i change my hostname?

I suggest you reboot [09:07] AstralAzure, so the pen works, and one scroll button? [09:08] unable to use compiz [09:08] Hmm [09:08] morpheuss: i'd ask in #compiz [09:08] did settinsg in advanced desktop [09:08] is anyone able to aid me in setting up a netboot server? [09:08] i started firefox on the server, it hung, then i tried starting firefox again, it didnt work, and then none of the applications were starting [09:08] morpheuss: did you run: compiz --replace [09:08] morpheuss: have you tried fusion-icon? [09:08] how can you ---> cd /root? you can't do sudo cd /root so how can you gain access to /root direc? [09:08] ActionParsnip: did it [09:09] rpinto__: is this a real server or are you just calling it a server? [09:09] wzssyqa: what? [09:09] I cant find any packages by that name. [09:09] trijntje, it's recognizing that both directions of the scroll work, but the faulty direction doesn't have any identification [09:09] meanieface: nop [09:09] morpheuss: run it in terminal, you will get useful output [09:09] Xgates: What do you need to do there? [09:09] morpheuss: seems to be more up-to-date [09:09] morpheuss: If you'd like to come to #compiz I'll help you there [09:09] I've just removed all the files from my 2gig USB drive, and it still says that 700mb is being used. I've gon into terminal and tried to rm -rf the directory and it says it is busy. I've checked the option marked 'Show hidden files' as well and deleted the /.Trash directory as well, but my drive still isnt empty. How else can I format it? [09:10] AstralAzure, a quick google search showed that it should work, if you edit your xorg.conf. Thats all I know about it, i dont own a bamboo [09:10] soreau: ya sure [09:10] dryg: use: gksudo gparted [09:10] thanks trijntje [09:10] ?

[09:11] ActionParsnip...Rebooting the server did it for me.. but i need to find what went wrong in the first place.. any ideas [09:11] yeah [09:11] rpinto: nano /var/log/kern.log may help [09:11] Xgates: just use sudo when copying [09:11] dryg: what format do you want it to be?

[09:22] it was sdb [09:22] LexR: hahaha, [09:22] * dryg curses the sky [09:22] dryg: YOu should probably shut down now, and hopefully you aren't using much swap currently [09:22] what's so funny xD? [09:22] LexR: maybe,you need lxubuntu [09:22] shut down and then what [09:23] run the install cd?

[09:23] !xubuntu | LexR You might be better trying Xubuntu rather than Ubuntu, the XFCE desktop which is a lighter on resources [09:23] LexR You might be better trying Xubuntu rather than Ubuntu, the XFCE desktop which is a lighter on resources: Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME.

I installed ubuntu and added xubuntu desktop, it eats as much ram as gnome xD [09:24] dryg: you can run: sudo mkswap /dev/; sudo swapon /dev/ [09:24] dryg: its like the pagefile in windows [09:24] but lxde is another story...

[09:26] I need something that has icons on desktop and is usable like gnome/kde/windows... so I can add or remove icons easily (It's not just for me) [09:26] dryg: When applications need to allocate more memory than is available in RAM their data is written to the swap partition on the hard drive ( which is extremely slow compared to RAM but better than running out of memory ) [09:27] I will look into it (IceWM and flwm) [09:27] thanx ppl :) [09:27] i want a game for upuntu [09:27] hcl, which one?

[09:59] purplefool_: sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst [10:00] gp5st: That's interesting, that patch is years old and so probably won't work with a current kernel, but there may be a more up to date patch available. That it's not in mainline though suggests that its not high quality [10:00] Xgates: firefox is the metapackage for the official supported one [10:00] Paul1957aa: what filesystem is the second drive formatted in ? [10:00] Xgates: firefox = 3.0.x [10:00] maybe ext2 [10:01] or 3 :-) [10:01] hm [10:01] new to this so not sure [10:01] jordan: that's what i figured, that or noone paid attention to it:-p; i'd try it but i've been up for 24 and don't want to compile my kernel, this was all suppose to just work:-p [10:01] Paul1957aa: which formate?

[10:03] Paul1957aa: mount [10:04] paul: df -T will tell types [10:04] Xgates: depending on what version you want. i am running both and like 3.5 more (its not called firefox its called shiretoko) [10:04] sorry, but if I knew what you were talking about, I wouldn't be asking [10:05] geirha: How can i know if a partition is mounted or not? What's the command / shell script? [10:05] Paul1957aa: you can run mount in termial [10:05] paul: go to application>accessories>terminal [10:05] it'll give you a prompt ending in $ [10:05] then type df -T [10:05] My friend cannot enable/disable wireless on his computer (Ubuntu) ..For enabling wireless on windows, he uses a key combination of the "function" key and some other key..But that doesnt work in Ubuntu [10:05] any ideas [10:06] hcl, themes at gnome-look.org [10:06] so, how do i get two finger+click or [ctrl|super]+click to be my secondary mouse [10:06] iceroot: if it's shiretoko why's it listed a firefox 3.5 in Synaptic?

[10:23] Hi, can anyone help me with the chown command? [10:23] Mert: ask.. i maybe able to [10:23] Mert: in what way? [10:24] OK, now I'm really quite peeved... I just copied 3GB of data from my local drive to an external. then hit delete. my pc crashed halfway though the delete. now I have 700mb free on the local drive and the external is full. so where is my free space on the local??! and not all files are showing on the external even though the space has been taken up... [10:24] i'm testing ubuntu's load capacity (running a lot of applications all at once) and I'm pleased [10:24] neurochrome: i'd fsck the partitions [10:24] can I check disc to recover these files, or has Ubuntu pwned my files [10:24] I messed up something and now some of the apps not working I guess I should change it with chown command [10:24] ActionParsnip, both loca and external [10:25] I mean I should change all [10:25] all the users [10:25] ActionParsnip, will I have to do this from a livecd? you can't fsck mounted drives, no? [10:25] DXBLouie: could try the latest ath5k driver source and compile [10:25] Mert: Which application is not working specifically? [10:25] neurochrome: no, do it from live cd [10:25] hello all [10:25] unrar is the one I can see now [10:26] maybe more [10:26] Bom dia [10:26] ActionParsnip, I'll give it a go... [10:26] Mert: what happens when you run an app from terminal, say, gedit [10:26] ActionParsnip: link? i know google is my friend, but if you know an official link it would save me the trouble :) [10:26] checking [10:26] * neurochrome wants the day to come when random lockups are a thing of the past [10:27] emm how can I run an applicatin? [10:27] Mert: Are you or have you been running as root or with sudo? [10:27] the only time I get random lockups is when I'm running the linux-rt kernel [10:27] DXBLouie: linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/ath5k [10:27] Mert: type gedit in terminal and press enter [10:28] as far as I know I am root but it may change because I guess I did something wrong [10:28] Mert: what is the output of: whoami [10:28] and it locks up because somehow access to the HDD stops, no HDD activity, and trying to start stuff causes freeze, any ideas on how to fix? [10:29] ActionParsnip: Unsaved Rocument 1 - gedit is opened [10:29] Mert: ok so why do you need chown? [10:29] goodnight everyone [10:29] am still trying to get the dual boot system to accept ubuntu as default. wzssyqa (i think) helped me, but his/her suggestion did not work. how can i change the default boot option? [10:29] i have downloaded and uninstalled flash player so manytimes how can i just clean out the whole thing? [10:29] AstralAzure: which your timezone? [10:29] purplefool_: gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst [10:30] oh, it's it /boot/grub/menu.lst, purplefool_ [10:30] wzssyqa, alaska [10:30] purplefool_: change the default value to represent the menu item that ubuntu is at [10:30] because synaptic didn't work earlier and I fixed it using "sudo chown YOURUSERNAME .Xauthority" command [10:30] revenge: sudo apt-get --purge flashplugin-nonfree [10:30] purplefool_: Yes, change your default boot line in menu.lst [10:30] maybe I can fix unrar error same way [10:30] Mert: but other apps are fine, as you can see [10:30] night [10:30] but I don't know how ta [10:30] soreau, that doesn't work... [10:31] *to [10:31] Mert: what does unrar output when you run it? [10:31] ! work | purplefool_ [10:31] purplefool_: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [10:31] An error occurred while extracting files. [10:31] Command not found [10:31] Mert: sudo apt-get install unrar [10:32] Write error in the file conan.avi [R]etry, [A]bort [10:32] Mert: looks like your archive is damaged, have you tried with other rar files? [10:32] i am assuming (based on comments) that red writing means that only i see the message...sorry about doesn't work. anyway, menu.lst does not change anything, even if i change the default from 0 to 1. [10:32] ActionParsnip: I tried that it is not working [10:33] hehe windows forums are so empty [10:33] purplefool_: did you save it? [10:33] i just thought ill pop in there [10:33] indus: maybe they dont need help [10:34] maybe they dont subscribe to the whole community culture [10:34] re-installing it may work [10:34] so is it possible to create a bootable windows usb [10:34] so, anyway, i don't get a list of recently updated ubuntus to choose from, but one winxp and one ubuntu. then, if i pick ubuntu, i have 5 sec. to choose if i want to choose a specific version of ubuntu...if i choose windows i am very unhappy. [10:34] there are 300 odd users there but no one is talking [10:34] purplefool_: The comments in red mean they contain your nick name purplefool_. Everyone else can see the message as well. When you are talking to others, you should include their nick in your comment as well [10:35] and yes, i did save it...just restarted and opend again and default is still 1 but had to choose ubuntu [10:35] Mert: sure: sudo apt-get --purge remove rar unrar; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove; sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get install rar unrar [10:35] ActionParsnip: i think when using purge remove is not required? [10:35] indus: i've heard of people doing it, its kinda offtopic though [10:35] then why are your nicknames so hard to spell sometimes!! what a pain, but thx for the heads up soreau! [10:35] ActionParsnip: are those commands? [10:36] indus: if you just purge, i think it only wipes the config but leaves the app,let me check man file [10:36] ! tab | purplefool_ [10:36] purplefool_: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [10:36] Mert: indeed [10:36] purplefool_: is there an # before it? [10:36] Hi all - any KVM experts here ? [10:36] ActionParsnip: aah no sorry wrong syntax [10:36] indus: purge is identical to remove except that packages are removed and purged (any configuration files are deleted too). [10:36] ActionParsnip: no no it works [10:36] purplefool_: The default will be a line offset even if the line is a comment or is blank. The default shoud not be commented in the file either (having a # in front of the line) [10:36] indus: from man apt-get, looks like you were right [10:37] wzssyqa, (cool thing with the tabs...thx!) where is the # that you mean? [10:37] ActionParsnip: ya dont need to specify remove [10:37] anyone know off hand exactly which SSD was used in the 5-second boot test Ars did? [10:37] indus: i have learned :D [10:37] tehbaut: i'd guess a class 6 one [10:37] hi all [10:37] I didn't see any references to which one [10:37] ActionParsnip: ya just no need to use -- , instead use purge instead of remove [10:37] and all disappear [10:37] ok, no # in front of the changed line. [10:37] indus: sweet, thanks [10:38] purplefool_: i means that is there a "#" before the "default"? [10:38] i facing problem installing the JDK package from apt-get [10:38] hey, can someone guide me through changing my firefox language, its in thai and i can't read the menu's [10:38] I wonder what a cheaper SSD would get, speed wise [10:38] * indus wonders why i use remove instead of purge,its good to clean up fully [10:38] <= cheapskate [10:38] wzssyqa, , no there is not one [10:38] indus: i always purge [10:38] purplefool_: Try changing it to 3 or so, make sure to save the file and see if it makes a change [10:38] tehbaut: lower class = slower [10:38] Myrtti: i've reported a bug and was expecting to see it as "List reported bugs" [10:38] ActionParsnip: ya so you can omit the 'remove' now and directly purge [10:39] purplefool_: Also make sure there is only one default entry in the file [10:39] indus: http://www.ngine.de/article/id/8 [10:39] indus: for windows on usb [10:39] soreau, ok, will do. have to work now, so will be back in a couple of hours with neg results (otherwise will be working and happy) [10:39] does ubuntu keep a log of boot and shutdown activity? [10:39] this 32GB SSD is only $80: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820141419 [10:39] djp: dmesg [10:40] not much info about it though [10:40] indus, sudo apt-get --purge flashplugin-nonfree is wrong [10:40] wzssya, thanks [10:40] djp: if you want to see what your system has been up to since boot run: dmesg | less [10:40] djp: use cursors to read up and down [10:40] djp: q to quit [10:40] looks like it is indeed a jmicron drive though, but I figured for that price [10:40] please refer here http://paste.ubuntu.com/276291/ [10:41] revenge sudo apt-get purge flashplugin-nonfree [10:41] ActionParsnip: cheers. how long back are records kept? from my /var/log directory it appears only the last 5 days, is that correct? [10:41] soreau, one more question: what if default is 3 and there are only 2 systems on the computer? will that cause a crash (still very 'windows-shy') or just do the default 0 because there is not other option? [10:41] i already apt-get clean [10:42] and apt-get install back [10:42] Hi all. Is there a file that I can view/access where Synaptic keeps its proxy settings? [10:42] it still did not work [10:42] ;( [10:42] soreau, and there is only one default that i have found... [10:42] djp: dmesg is since the kernel came online [10:42] djp: there are logs in /var/log which i dont know how far back they go [10:42] ActionParsnip: thanks [10:43] purplefool_: ubuntu have 3 items,the first is called 0 [10:43] what mean by: [10:43] ailed to fetch http://my.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/s/sun-java6/sun-java6-bin_6-16-0ubuntu1.9.04_i386.deb Size mismatch [10:43] hi [10:43] size mismatch?

(I'm on an old 2Ghz Celeron and it's just a hair too slow to playback 720p HD with PulseAudio installed. I've got hardware mixing.) [10:46] knut_: then the drivers are there, just not being used [10:47] jamieleshaw: what about testing a livecd? but if i am correct its all working by default [10:47] ssokolow: take a look at /etc/pulse.conf [10:47] knut_: dont expect miracles, direct3d isnt great [10:47] ssokolow: for clues [10:47] iceroot, There are no hardware damage rishs are ther?

[10:50] so how do you restart X? apperently it's not ctrl+alt+backspace, but alt+sysrq+k, what if you don't have sysrq? [10:50] knut_: yes, its also aero that means you must have a 3d gfx card just to run the desktop, its appauling [10:50] revenge: also after that do sudo apt-get remove swfdec [10:50] eto: have you installed video drivers? [10:50] gp5st: SysRq = Print Screen [10:50] !dontzap [10:50] To re-enable the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace combination that restarts your X server, you can install the "dontzap" package and use the command « sudo dontzap --disable ».

Run: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [10:51] bazhang: I saw that, but i was wondering why they would make a decision that involved a key ppl didn't have [10:51] gp5st, macs dont have a print screen key?? [10:52] srly? [10:52] so it had to be somewhere or mapped to something [10:52] gp5st: Ahh.

[10:53] revenge: open synaptic and search for that [10:53] that's just a map in the system to the command not a key seq replacing it [10:53] gp5st: Ahh.

This machine is right next to my gigabit switch and I don't trust wireless networking for use in my core LAN.

[11:06] ActionParsnip so I would like to set it. When, using other desktop resolution applet -> something-gtk (i don't remember ) there is FLAT panel with my resolution, but resolution requires restart to set. After restarting ubuntu is in low resolution mode [11:07] Ideally, how do I also get rid of NetworkManager and just have simple dhcp-on-boot network configuration?

Did yo uverify the CD once iitially booted to? [11:11] also /home would be where data as well as profiles are, that would require massive storrage thus a hdd... but say one has only a 256mb or 1gb (at most) flash card...

[11:18] ActionParsnip : okay i am gonna reboot the machine and verify medium if it is okay I will get back okay?

[11:20] cynth3tik: thats because its on an internal PCIExpress card [11:21] bypasses the ATA interface ;p [11:21] cynth3tik: and slowass usb [11:21] 80Gb for 3000 USD, pretty cheap [11:22] usb is terribly slow [11:22] cynth3tik: and bursty, which is why i use firewire [11:22] maybe 3.0 will be nicer [11:22] Hi, can somebody help me re-install archive manager?

[12:19] !pam | krishnasut [12:19] Sorry, I don't know anything about pam [12:19] !cron | kyja [12:19] kyja: cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto - There is also a decent Howto at http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/cron&crontab-howto.htm [12:20] ok I will read those [12:20] It may be a configuration file needed for running cllfox ! ubotto !! [12:21] sixnonep, you want to access network place? [12:21] network:/// [12:22] sergiu: Yes, I can from Gnome to XFCE, but not sure vice versa.

[12:23] hi. is there a dedicated 64-bit ubuntu channel ? [12:26] <`brandon`> This channel supports 64 bit. [12:26] <`brandon`> as well as 32 bit. === ubuntu_904 is now known as c_nick [12:27] anyone tried the netbook remix im currently using the normal 9.04 on my netbook [12:27] ok, I have a nice and strong ubuntu server, and I'd like to know what do I need to do in order to install a virtual machine inside it to run 64-bit windows. [12:28] !anyone | stevej26uk [12:28] stevej26uk: 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? [12:28] my CPU supports the virtualization, I need to understand what alternatives I have "natively" supported by the ubuntu. [12:28] sobersabre: you will need to check your cpu can handle 64bit guests [12:29] hello, guys [12:29] sobersabre: not all can [12:29] !kvm | sobersabre [12:29] sobersabre: kvm is the preferred virtualization approach in Ubuntu. For more information see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM [12:30] bazhang: reading, thanks. [12:30] hey guys, anybody free? [12:30] d2do, best to just ask [12:30] I want to know if there is a python channel in freenode.net? [12:30] #python [12:30] #python ? [12:30] & ##python [12:31] & #python-web [12:31] can anyone tell me what is .pam file ?

I have gstreamer erros on the terminal. but they dont specify anything === S is now known as Guest90157 === Guest90157 is now known as S [12:36] hi [12:36] ccfontes1, this is 9.04? do other apps play the mp3 or no [12:37] bazhang: yes it is 9.04 and vlc plays it [12:37] bazhang || try audacious . [12:37] 9.04 roawks [12:38] ActionParsnip: how can I test if my CPU can support 64-bit guests ? [12:39] sobersabre: cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep model | grep name will tell you what CPU it is [12:39] sobersabre: you can then websearch its capabilities [12:40] sobersabre: you could also just download a 64bit ISO and try, its free [12:40] ccfontes1, that is odd; banshee works fine here--have you tried adding the w32codecs from medibuntu.org [12:40] hi everyone [12:40] sobersabre: even a gentoo minimal will do [12:40] Why does my audio muffle all the time [12:40] sobersabre: or minimal ubuntu iso [12:41] hi there, what is it called when i press ctrl+alt+f1? vtty1 ? [12:41] m0r0n: muffle? [12:41] dsdeiz: yes, i think so. it should display it [12:41] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SeaMonkey: "SeaMonkey consists of a web browser, an e-mail and news client program (SeaMonkey Mail & Newsgroups, which shares code with Mozilla Thunderbird), an HTML editor and an IRC client (ChatZilla)." How can I call 'SeaMonkey Mail & Newsgroups' without calling Thunderbird? [12:42] masquerade: Yes, when I listen it just muffles. As in it mashes sounds together skips some etc at the same time [12:42] masquerade: uhm, is there a way i can view what was written upon boot up? i've removed 'quiet' from menu.lst in order for me to see what's happening upon boot time [12:42] hm, im not familiar with sound problems, im sorry [12:42] dsdeiz: istnt there a logfile? [12:43] masquerade: dunno. hehehe [12:43] bullgardopera does all those things [12:43] and maybe botting in recovry mode may help reviewing the written stuff [12:43] When I pass the curson over a scroll bar the mouse focuses on this scroll bar without clicking it. Does anybody know how could I make the mouse focus on a scroll bar only after I click on it? [12:43] bullgard: opera does all those things [12:43] i thought at first that switching to vtty1 and just pressing page up would allow me to see the things written [12:44] dsdeiz: try "dmesg" [12:44] Jejege: you sure its not activating the whole window? I dont see that effect here. [12:45] Jejege: or do you mean it scrolls with out actually 'activating the window' so the window still stays unselected/below the others. (i like that feature) L:) [12:45] bazhang: no, I didnt.. I will try now. do there w32codecs have the same name as the usual ones? [12:45] ActionParsnip: Great! But I'd like to concentrate on Firefox and SeaMonkey. That's enough for me. [12:45] dsdeiz: if you need more, enable bootlogd in /etc/default/boologd [12:45] ActionParsnip : after too much fiddling i just replaced the card with nvidia it now works with proprietary driver [12:45] ccfontes1, there is a deb to dl at medibuntu.org should you wish to avoid activating the medibuntu repos [12:45] sipior: how? [12:46] Dr_Willis yeah, for example if I move the cursor over the scroll bar of xchat, when I use the scroll button, this bar scrolls automatically [12:46] hello [12:46] anybody is there a way to have different language for each user? [12:46] dsdeiz: edit the file /etc/default/bootlogd. change "No" to "Yes" [12:46] i need help with dolphin of boonex [12:46] Jejege: Yes. i like that feature. :) I miss it when im on my windows machines. [12:46] guys how do i convert a .img to .iso? whenever i try to put the .img on the usb... and try to boot it up... it says invalid file system. i'm trying to use unr [12:47] eto: nvidia kicks ass [12:47] hello all, i just got my netbook up with ubuntu 9.04 and need a bit of help with with wireless. it sees my atheros chip, but wont show up in the network section, and my three interfaces show no wireless extensions [12:47] eto: should be [12:47] the installation say what /ur/bin/php not found [12:47] bernardlychan: what command EXACTLY are you using to put the img on the usb drive? [12:47] !locale | eto [12:47] eto: To set up and configure your locales, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf [12:47] bazhang: I already have medibuntu because of skype.. is it the same package name? if so, how can I know easily im downloadind the right package? [12:47] bernardlychan, there is an imgwriter deb ppa you can download [12:47] <_qUaNtUm_> hi guys, ive just installed glipper with "apt-get install glipper" and it went fine but itz not in my Applications and the .bin does not appear in usr/bin, plus if i run "glipper" from a terminal no such... also tried reinstall it but it says itz already there... thanks [12:47] Dr_Willis, I prefer to click over it. I mess up a lot of settings with this feature, especially when there are multiple scroll bars in a window [12:48] Dr_willis: i'm using the windows img writer thing. [12:48] the UNR 'img' file is not a iso image... === tPl0ch^lunch is now known as tPl0ch [12:48] is locale used even by gtk/gui apps? [12:48] its a 'hard drive image' [12:48] ActionParsnip: hey bud, its crackheadjunky, i just got my netbook up on ubuntu finally, and could use your help if you have a second [12:48] acostello: ask the channel [12:48] bernardlychan: odd.. You could try just using the dd command to put it on the usb. [12:48] ActionParsnip: i did... just waiting... [12:48] maybe my download was bad ? [12:48] bernardlychan: similer to 'dd if=whatever.img of=/dev/sdb' (NOT sdb1) [12:48] ccfontes1, does apt-cache search w32codecs return anything [12:48] bernardlychan: thats possible. [12:48] bernardlychan: its larger then a normal cd. so you cant burn it to cd. [12:49] Dr_Willis: tried burning it to a dvd... but didn't work? couldn't boot it up? [12:49] acostello: if you run: sudo iwlist scan do you see access points? [12:49] bernardlychan : today i just learned to md5sum everything if you have hash you should try it [12:49] acostello: if not run: sudo lshw -C network | grep product to see the chip you have, you can then websearch that [12:49] bernardlychan: its NOT an iso image file. the .img extension was just used because they couldent thin of any other extension. Its a ext2/3 filesystem image. [12:49] i see lo, eth0, and pan0 with interface doesnt support scanning [12:50] <_qUaNtUm_> hi guys, ive just installed glipper with "apt-get install glipper" and it went fine but itz not in my Applications and the .bin does not appear in usr/bin, plus if i run "glipper" from a terminal no such... also tried reinstall it but it says itz already there... thanks [12:50] bernardlychan: UNR for 9.10 comes on ISO it seems last i looked. :) [12:50] DVD requires special bootsector i believe and completely different FS [12:50] I'm having a problem with launching apps on particular screens in X, could anyone give me a hand with that? [12:50] hello, I need help with my intel G35 chipset [12:50] bazhang: yes, it is the version from medibuntu. and it is already installed. maybe from the ubuntu restricted extras meta package. one else can I do.. this is very strange [12:50] Dr_Willis: so i must put it on a usb? [12:50] ActionParsnip: I don't get it. [12:50] bernardlychan : you must put it onto the hdd [12:51] _qUaNtUm_, GLipper: Clipboard manager for the GNOME panel [12:51] hi [12:51] I have a rather high end machine. It CURRENTLY runs intrepid 64-bit. [12:51] ActionParsnip: it sees my three interfaces, but says interface does not support scanning [12:51] _qUaNtUm_: if it's a gnome panel applet, it won't show up in applications. try adding an applet to the panel. [12:51] acostello: then i ave a second command for you to run [12:51] ActionParsnip: how can I know it CAN or CANNOT host a 64-bit windows ? [12:51] bernardlychan: yes. [12:51] when I plug in my usb device, tracker-applet says it can't reindex. i click Cancel , it doesn't go away. i click OK, it doesn't go away. how do I make it go away? [12:51] what speed transfert would be possible with transfering files via nfs and a 1GB/ network ? [12:52] iamleneko: Probably the transfer rate of the slowest disk involved. [12:52] <_qUaNtUm_> sipior, captnchaos: i tried that -_- but its not in the list [12:52] ty Dr_Willis... i must have a bad download then. after i put the img onto the usb, will i see files on the usb? or will there be nothing? [12:52] iamleneko: I recall there being some tweaks you can do to nfs to get a little more speed.. but its got fairly low overhead compared to other ways [12:53] Hi guys =) [12:53] dox, so i must have a problem, right now it does ~ 9Mo/s [12:53] mcmlxxi, tried configuring the tracker-applet? [12:53] sobersabre: websearches [12:53] sobersabre: check the vmware website. i believe they distribute a utility which can check for you (or you can do some digging via google) [12:53] bernardlychan: the thumnbdrive will be a ext2/3 filesystem. BUT you will have to mount 'sdb' in linux to see them. Not sdb1 (its weird that way) [12:53] hello Dr_Willis [12:53] JeoTheLeo, no, I didn't even know it can be configure [12:53] d [12:53] acostello: sudo lshw -C network | grep product [12:54] acostello: tells you the chip, you can then websearch for guides [12:54] iamleneko: Seems like it, it's probably the way the disk is accessed rather than the physical drive limit but I'm afraid I can't help. [12:54] how can i see a list of groups i'm in? [12:54] Do i have to put ssh server in /etc/init.d/ order it to start autmatically before login? [12:54] _qUaNtUm_, its a plugin for gnome. there is no executable [12:54] How do you get X to launch an app in the screen it was launched rather than screen 0 ? [12:54] ax-ax: groups [12:54] ax-ax: thats the command [12:54] GobiTheGoblin: When i install the openssh service.. it auto sets itself up to run at boot time. [12:54] ActionParsnip: it shows both my nic cards the atheros, and the realtek [12:54] aha [12:54] :D [12:54] dox: DISPLAY=X.X commandtorun [12:55] acostello: then remove the grep for more info, you can then get it installed [12:55] Dr_Willis: I tought that too.. but it doesn't start. well i take a look. Ty [12:55] There must be a more... useable way? [12:55] _qUaNtUm_, Glipper can now be used by right-clicking on the GNOME panel and select "Add to Panel". In the dialog, choose Clipboardmanager and Glipper will appear in the Panel. [12:55] !bum | GobiTheGoblin [12:55] GobiTheGoblin: 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/SmartBootManagerHowto [12:55] GobiTheGoblin: try sudo service ssh restart [12:55] GobiTheGoblin: you can add it using bum [12:55] i am not sure at all the drives are involved with my problem, the nfs server have 2 networks cards that acces 2 different network, i don't know but i have the intuition it come from this [12:55] <_qUaNtUm_> captnchaos: ok, maybe ill just try something else, another thing, du no how to put the servers list here in x-chat for gnome in the lower screen instead of on the left side? [12:55] ActionParsnip: ty =) [12:56] whats a good HDD size to buy today? 250 gb fair ? [12:56] dox: a program looks at the DISPLAY variable to see where to launch.. some have a SCREEN/Display option/configs tehy may read.. but not all/many [12:56] _qUaNtUm_, right click your gnome panel, select "Add to Panel" and add "Clipboardmanager" [12:56] indus: depends on needs [12:56] indus: i dont waste my time on anything under 500gb. or 1tb [12:56] cheers [12:56] ActionParsnip: i dont store any movies etc, just predatorand alien :) [12:56] Dr_Willis: Hmm, it's amazing how un-useable dual-monitors is proving to be! [12:56] Dr_Willis: But thank you. [12:56] indus: you spend $50 for 250gb.. for @50 more - ya get 1TB... [12:56] i guess with HD content that could be an issue [12:56] ActionParsnip: it says its disabled [12:56] hmm yeah [12:56] indus: if you need space, buy it, if you dont, buy something smaller to save cash [12:57] dox: i have no issues with dual monitors. :) but i do use Twinview - I dont see any reason to run 2 X servers. [12:57] <_qUaNtUm_> captnchaos: told u i have already done that but theres no such thing as glipper or clipboard manager [12:57] acostello: thats ecause it has no driver [12:57] is it true that smaller HDD are faster? [12:57] Dr_Willis: TwinView is fine, EXCEPT that it spans the wallpaper [12:57] indus: no [12:57] _qUaNtUm_, what language do you speak? [12:57] indus: absolutely not, the bigger the platter the faster the device [12:57] dox: actually.. I just make extra wide custome wallpaper... [12:57] the spindle has to travel less to access data? [12:57] dox: you are doing a lot of work for fancy wallpaper... [12:57] My monitors aren't equal sized. [12:57] hmm interesting [12:57] dox: neitehr are mine.. so i customiuzed the wallpaper.. it wasent hard [12:58] seagate or WD? [12:58] I'm always changing my wallpaper so I'd spend more time editing than working [12:58] indus: i use both. [12:58] i want something that lasts for 10 years like an IBM [12:58] dox: perhaps ya should just quit twiddling with things and use a solid color.. [12:58] acostello: both are good drives [12:58] dox: actually I think KDE let me set different wallpapers on each monitor.. [12:58] indus: well, ibm has never lasted for years like that. dont you remember the deathstar they made not long ago [12:58] dox: im pretty SURE kde4 let me do that. [12:58] how can i add a "Add/Remove..." button on Ubuntu Netbook Remix? [12:59] well ActionParsnip i am correcting myself the res work however the logon screen is locked in some wicked resolution so the buttons are not visible [12:59] acostello: that was after you were born :) [12:59] anyone experienced with intel graphics chipsets? [12:59] <_qUaNtUm_> captnchaos: im bilingual and also speak other languages, but dont understand what this has to do with my prob o_O [12:59] will deleting xorg.conf fix that? [12:59] Dr_Willis: Yeah it crossed my mind but changing WM to achieve that seems extreme :) [12:59] acostello: i have a 10 GB drive which still works [12:59] dox: worrying about wallpaper seems extreme to me. [12:59] lol [12:59] HI [12:59] hola [12:59] ill wantto try newer brand with 16 mb cache etc [12:59] Dr_Willis: When you spend as much time in front of the computer as I do, a plain blue background gets old real quick [12:59] indus: dude, go buy a 500gb drive and move on. the speed on the interface for that 10 gb has to be like 4200 [13:00] WD seems nice , \ [13:00] _qUaNtUm_, cause it wont be called "cliboard manager" if you dont have an english version of ubuntu. it will be translated into your language [13:00] dox: i alwo recall that Google app Picassa (i think) could do 'collages' the size of your current desktop :) it makes some nice wallpapers. [13:00] indus: have you looked at newegg? [13:00] dox: learn to maxamize your working apps. :) [13:00] acostello: well i will,when they launch in india :P [13:00] indus: lol [13:00] eto: get logged into something then run: gksudo nvidia-settings set the res then click save to xorg.conf this will fix that for you [13:00] Dr_Willis: :) [13:00] <_qUaNtUm_> captnchaos: ok that im a noob, but im not an idiot though :D [13:00] _qUaNtUm_, ;) [13:00] dox: write an app that resizes/joins the 2 images.. and sets the wallpaper.. that shouldent be too hard to do. :) [13:00] _qUaNtUm_, its there. 100% [13:01] Dr_Willis: I'm more likely to just buy a new monitor tbh :) [13:01] indus: paypal me some loot, and i will get you a drive from newegg... lol [13:01] Dr_Willis: imagemagick ;) [13:01] <_qUaNtUm_> captnchaos: anyway could u tell me how to move the servers bar right here in x-chat from the left to the lower side of the screen? [13:01] acostello: will get stuck at customs [13:01] indus: ah.... [13:01] indus: customs suck... [13:01] ActionParsnip: yep. :) [13:02] acostello: nvm i think ill go for 500 gb then , but the price is quite higher than 250 gb [13:02] sipior: so how do i view it after i've enabled bootlogd? [13:02] nvm its off topic discussion maybe [13:02] Amaranth: [13:02] oops [13:02] _qUaNtUm_, no [13:02] anyone tried intellinuxgraphics.org [13:02] ? [13:03] indus: in case you couldnt tell, this is crackheadjunky from yesterday.. [13:03] i know [13:03] indus: i got ubuntu on the netbook [13:03] indus: and upgraded to 9.04 but cant get the wireless up still. [13:03] Well hello there #ubuntu. I'm running the 9.04 ubuntu server and I'd like to have some game servers etc. to start on bootup. What's the correct way to do that? [13:03] sh1t! [13:03] i also have ubuntu on a netbook [13:03] I ran the vmware test tool, and it tells me "This host is capable of running a 64-bit guest operating system under this [13:03] VMware product" [13:04] is there a specifications document somewhere that details how server edition was configured? I'm curious to check it out, since I'm looking to setup a desktop with some benefits of what the server ed. offers [13:04] sobersabre: Please mind your language here. [13:04] sorry. [13:04] is it possible the testing tool is not updated enough ? [13:04] !intellinuxgraphics [13:04] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [13:04] !intel [13:04] Ubuntu 9.04 has a known regression for some Intel graphics support. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/IntelPerformance and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130582 for more information. [13:04] sobersabre: what kind of cpu is it? === serpp is now known as serp [13:05] acostello: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5420 @ 2.50GHz [13:05] this kind. [13:05] JEEB: add the command to call them in /etc/rc.local remember to add & tobackground run the service [13:05] sobersabre: model? [13:05] E5420 ... isn't it the model ? [13:05] Xeon QuadCore. [13:05] sobersabre: that will run 64 bit [13:06] acostello: we're talking about "guest 64-bit OS inside the current 64-bit OS" [13:06] dox: heres my gimp template for my 'wallpaper' background i normally play with http://drop.io/gx1kiao [13:06] RIGHT ? [13:06] can someone help me ive got a question about netbook-launcher [13:06] ActionParsnip, thanks! I'll see what I can find on /etc/rc.local's manpages etc. to see how to properly conf it :) Also, I guess there'll be settings on which user it'll be started etc.? [13:06] sobersabre: see, the quad core means you can run up to 4 different vms in vmware, and that shouldnt be a problem 64 bit inside a 64 bit os [13:06] sobersabre: at least in windows... [13:06] JEEB: its just launches stuff as root.. not much to it. [13:07] sobersabre: dont know bout ubuntu [13:07] thx ActionParsnip very much! it worked, now I am happy thank you all for support [13:07] acostello: so.. now the oposite question: why would VMWAre tool report me otherwise ? :) [13:07] JEEB: no need for sudo. use & after commands that may 'hang/take over the shell' and put stuff befor the last exit command. [13:07] JEEB: its just a script of stuff thats ran when everything is done [13:07] JEEB: but before the logon prompt [13:07] Dr_Willis, isn't it not recommended to run stuff as root? [13:07] sobersabre: is it the latest tool? also, if you call them, they will help you also. they are very friendly, and can answer just about every question you have. [13:07] eto: np [13:07] Yeah, that part I understand [13:08] JEEB: its the last service that runs.. but depending on what you do it may not finish befor gdm shows up [13:08] JEEB: its ran by the system.. so of course it runs as root. [13:08] ok... [13:08] sobersabre: have you tried it in virtualbox? [13:08] JEEB: you may need to modify the run so it runs as a limited user for security [13:08] Yeah [13:08] That's what I was thinking about [13:08] JEEB: you can make it run specific commands as a specific user if you want. but it all depends on your exact needs. [13:09] JEEB: its more of a 'catch all' for things that just need to 'get-r-done' :) === jepler__ is now known as jepler [13:09] well, I set up an ubuntu server for my friend and he wants to run an et server on it that gets started up as he starts the machine :) [13:09] So I guess I'll be making it run it as a specific user [13:10] Proberlyt a good idea.

[13:22] archlinix is about as far from ubuntu as a disrto can get. :) [13:22] Myrtti: he is dual booting, but its your channel so fair enough [13:22] acostello: ive seen several systems that goof up with some usb exteranl drives/keys - this pc wont even BOOT anything with my new external usb HD plugged in. :) [13:22] Dr_Willis,how do i install acetoneiso [13:22] in terminal i cant [13:23] cgroza: if its in the repos.. sudo apt-get install PACKAGENAME [13:23] i couldn't get 9.04 to install on ext3. i had to use ext4 [13:23] !info acetoneiso [13:23] Package acetoneiso does not exist in jaunty [13:23] cgroza: ive never heard/seen that tool.

[13:24] fuseiso9660 - File System in User Space - Module for ISO9660 [13:24] cgroza: try with the iso9660 filetype [13:24] cgroza: I recommend, afterwards, to convert all your images to the STANDARD ISO9660 [13:24] cgroza: those 2 packages fuseiso and fuseiso9660 claim to be able to access more then just iso9660 formated files. [13:24] bah thats only for cd roms i think [13:25] hey guys, maybe someone can help me out. How can I log in my gdm session say at home from remote location over ssh? what command will log the gdm session in? [13:25] i am installing fuseiso [13:25] thanks [13:25] tj83_ : You can't, use VNC [13:26] tj83_: if you need ony one App with gui, use ssh -X. if you want the desktop, use vnc [13:26] tj83_: with ssh -X you can start a GUI-App at the host, and see it at your pc [13:26] CyberZet, i think maybe your missing my intention, but thanks for replying, i realize i cant over ssh get the GUI... but thats not my intent, say after a reboot, and i have user logon enabled, VNC would not actually start untill that local user was logged on, so after a reboot, i need to log on the gdm session to be able to do other task which are not possible until the gdm session is esablished. [13:26] iceroot, yea i know xforwarding too [13:27] tj83_: auto-login? [13:27] iceroot, well i could do that. but then there are security possibilities local there at the machine [13:27] iceroot, i'd like to do it from command line. [13:28] per session [13:28] now, i have to get power management to work and work well [13:28] tj83_: you can set up gdm to auto-login [13:28] Dr_Willis, yea, but not what i am after [13:28] tj83_: you can set up vncserver where you dont have to use the current logged in user. [13:29] tj83_: no need to login via gdm at all.. ssh in, run vncserver, connect via vncviewer [13:29] Dr_Willis, yea i know that too... is what i am seeking that rare of a task? [13:29] tj83_: you dont want to vnc over the internet without running it throguh a tunnle either.. [13:29] tj83_: why not just use ssh to command line to do what you need? [13:29] Dr_Willis, i have some experience :P [13:30] tj83_ so im not sure what you want to do.. but theres ways to get vnc going without gdm. [13:30] how to back up ubuntu set up on usb [13:30] Dr_Willis, i dont care about vnc at all.... [13:30] tj83_: and you could edit the gdm configs to auto-logion then restart gdm [13:30] this is potentially useful in providing support to noobs [13:30] tj83_: so ive totally lost what you are tryign to do then. :) [13:31] Oh 'noob support' :) [13:31] tj83_: http://stevenharman.net/blog/archive/2008/12/13/vnc-to-a-headless-ubuntu-box.aspx [13:31] ok, say you have a box Dr_Willis and this user has an account obviously, NOT auto-login, and they are away from the machine, you have ssh access. but you still need to log them in, if you have the login info you should be able to do this some kinda way [13:32] No, you shouldn't. [13:32] how to backup ubuntu settings on usb? somebody help me please [13:32] hmm, so how do i play divx movies in ubuntu? [13:32] Why not Rabbitbunny i mean if you have root access you SHOULD be able to do whatever you need to do [13:33] tj83_, not without the users prior knowledge and consent [13:33] tj83_: Not remotely. You can do anything you need via ssh. There is no reason to allow graphical login. [13:33] ITS MY BOX! lol [13:33] then use shh. [13:33] Anyone: with what tools can I add comments/notations to certain lines in a pdf file? [13:33] hello [13:34] differents situation if it's your box [13:34] Just because You want to - dont mean you can. [13:34] here is the deal and it should make more sense, i like to log into my gdm, I like to play video/music for my girlfriend from ssh via mplayer. kinda a romantic kick [13:34] could anyone help me getting sound through HDMI ? [13:34] wo [13:34] tj83_: theres also specific security features to block that kind of stuff. :) [13:34] Rabbitbunny: +1 for ssh [13:35] Dr_Willis, hmm... well this is Linux, if i wanted to be told what i can and cant do by a machine i'd be using windows now wouldnt I? lol [13:35] when i try to install acetoneiso it says dependecy not satisfied?what can i do? [13:35] ssh? gdm? i thought ssh was all text [13:35] tj83_: vlc has a web interface you can connect to via http, much more sleek [13:35] tj83_: whatever. [13:35] dsdeiz: it can be, you can also use x forwarding [13:35] tj83_: You're being ignorant. use mpd via ssh to do what you want, You do not need to login via gdm. [13:36] oh cool. never thought about that [13:36] tj83_: you can also use x forwarding for media apps, display is local but sound stays on the server [13:36] tj83_: no need for stupid vnc [13:36] but if another user is logged in.. they may have the sound exculisively locked. [13:36] ActionParsnip: lol! i was about to ask about vnc hehehe [13:36] nm, i'll figure it out. sorry to waste all your time. and yea VNC doesnt work well on a 3360x1050 desktop [13:36] Otherwise i could make the wifes pc make 'Moo Cow sounds' from the basement. [13:36] Dr_Willis: not if you ssh as the same user, its what i do here. [13:37] ActionParsnip: :) shes getting a MooCow wakeup call then! :) [13:37] tj83_: I just told you how to do it. First rule of linux, listen to those that know more than you. [13:37] dsdeiz: i hate vnc, there are billions of better solutions to the things people use it for [13:37] . [13:37] X forwarding is fun. [13:37] Dr_Willis: hehe, use espeak during the night, thats a fun one ;) set the speed fairly slow too [13:37] hey everybody [13:37] ActionParsnip: :) We need a good Talking Clock! [13:38] Rabbitbunny, your so cool... wish i could grow up and be big and bad and all knowing like yourself there. whom doesnt even know the answer i seek. lay off, I'm out, i do a lot of support for Ubuntu as a whole. respect is what you need. [13:38] lets keep it civil please [13:38] Dr_Willis: i go for "This is the voice of the mysterons" [13:38] Lets also keep it on topic. [13:39] * Dr_Willis checks the repo for a talking clock [13:39] * indus does nothing [13:39] Hi can someone help me please, I reformatted my partition to FAT (and as a result deleting ubuntu). Now I recieve grub error 17. I want to uninstall/remove grub and ubuntu alltogether. I am using the live cd 8.10 right now. [13:39] Dr_Willis: could pipe the output of time to espeak [13:39] libtime-human-perl - convert localtime() format to "speaking clock" time [13:39] now what is 'speaking clock' format? used by. [13:40] what is pdfcube ? is it useful !! [13:40] theNorth: so if ubuntu doesnt exist, how can you boot [13:40] saurav: shows your pdfs on a cube i thought [13:40] !info pdfcube [13:40] pdfcube (source: pdfcube): PDF document viewer with 3D effects. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.0.2-3build4 (jaunty), package size 17 kB, installed size 92 kB [13:40] indus: I am using live cd right now. [13:40] theNorth: do you have windows installed? and want to install ubuntu again? [13:41] ActionParsnip: your are tireless in your efforts :) [13:41] indus: i try [13:41] indus: bravo to you too sir [13:41] ActionParsnip: naah i dont know anything really [13:41] indus: yes. [13:41] lol thanks [13:41] hello again, i've enabled bootlogd, so how can i see the logs? [13:42] oh that was for my comment oops [13:42] dsdeiz: i never was able to get bootlogd to actually work. [13:42] theNorth: so whta exactly is the problem? with live cd you can easily reinstall ubuntu [13:42] dsdeiz: im not sure it even works at all. [13:42] I have apache installed and made some manual changes to the conf files f'ing it up. is there anyway that I can 'reset' apache to all the defaults? [13:42] !info bootlogd [13:42] Package bootlogd does not exist in jaunty [13:43] theNorth: i assume you have separate partitions on the drive so you can do a nice manual install [13:43] indus: I dont want to reinstall ubuntu, I want to uninstall it. [13:43] ok, so maybe there's a workaround for me to review what was written upon boot up? [13:43] theNorth: it cannot be uninstalled, once you format the partition its gone thats it [13:44] theNorth: then you restore your bootloader with whatever os you want to controll the bootloader [13:44] theNorth: which i believe you did, so what is next? you want to remove grub i suppose [13:44] <[A]KangB> Having problems woth latests kernels....

[14:24] e3co: Only if its enabled. === adante_ is now known as adante [14:25] Kasm279, google? which site? [14:25] it does it in Flock too so is not a FF thing [14:25] bazhang: almost any site [14:25] if i add erasedups to the line export HISTCONTROL=ignoredups in my .bashrc, will that get rid of all duplicate entries in my .bash_history? It's huge at the moment... the .bash_history list that is! ;) [14:25] Kasm279, could you provide another example? [14:26] guys a question, from a live cd is the command /boot/grub go into the installed ubuntu's path or some other === roe is now known as Guest36071 [14:26] cd /boot/grub i mean [14:26] bazhang: what do you mean "another example"? [14:26] indus: that would get you to GRUB's directory, i.e. the bootloader. of the livecd, iirc. [14:26] Dr.willis conky?? [14:26] Kasm279, not all sites have a com.tw [14:26] soosrry for replying late [14:27] Pici: thanks [14:27] MenZa: hmm so iam thinking how to navigate a live cd [14:27] bazhang: if i go to cnet it redirects me to taiwan.cnet.com [14:27] Pici: so no desktop effects = metacity [14:27] indus: I didn't quite understand that [14:27] i just installed lest night :| [14:27] <_Cyrano_De_Z> djp: I believe ignoredups is not retroactive. It will only ignore new, duplicate entries not purge old ones. [14:27] MenZa: i want to enter the /boot dir of installed ubuntu, from a live cd terminal how do i reach there [14:28] MenZa: cos i think cd / will taek me to live cd;s root? [14:28] Is there any way, in a standard ubuntu desktop installation, to disable the users from accessing sound devices? E.g. if I remove them from the audio group, it doesn't prohibit them from using audio devices... [14:28] Kasm279, that is odd, does not happen here--are you using a proxy? [14:28] correct, indus [14:29] bazhang: its just in firefox, no proxy [14:29] err and flock [14:29] MenZa: hmm i asked a user for his menu.lst but from live cd how does he do that is the question., [14:29] bazhang: and the region is set to in the US :\ [14:29] Kasm279, I just bookmark the site google.com/ncr [14:30] MenZa: probably easy but i dont remember how to just now [14:30] * Frisky_Dingo has dirty optics. Cleaning [14:30] bazhang: why is this doing this though? [14:30] all my region setting are correct and... [14:31] it works fine in windows [14:31] Kasm279: this depends on the isp iam sure [14:31] Kasm279, not sure; cnet loads fine here in English [14:31] hello [14:31] indus: it loads properly in winXP [14:31] Kasm279: bazhang for example, in dubai if you search in google you are taken to arabic site, i think Kasm279 is just serching in google sarch bar [14:32] Kasm279: are you typing the full url [14:32] indus: its more than google [14:32] indus: Mount his /boot (or /) partition :) [14:32] can someone please help, I don't understand how to get my tv tuner to work with Ubuntu [14:32] Frisky_Dingo, didnt solve the problem [14:32] indus: its with almost every site [14:32] MenZa: hmm true , and assuming live cd does mount the partitions , it should be simple enough [14:32] It's an Asus U3100 [14:32] Kasm279: tell me, which country you are [14:32] can I open two separate sockets with the same port number but one on an external IP and one on the local IP? [14:32] benwood: did you try google? [14:32] hi there [14:33] benwood: lspci will identify it, you can websearch for the outputted info pertaining to the card [14:33] indus: Idaho, USA [14:33] yes [14:33] Kasm279: also,in mainn address bar, www.google.com goes where [14:33] google.com [14:34] hi there [14:34] Kasm279: ok wait let me scroll up a little [14:34] using ubuntu jaunty on X61T (lenovo tablet). Everything works fine except when I rotate the tablet while it is connected t an outside projector. Although the tablet rotates, the stylus and the screen are not in a perfect position. So it is hard to give a presentation Does anyone have an idea why that would be [14:34] hm [14:34] hi! is there any meta package one can install to get the "server version" of ubuntu 8.04 like with "kubuntu-desktop" or is there simply a difference in the installer package and shipped packages on the cd? [14:34] Kasm279: which sites do this [14:34] indus: nevermind, it fixd itself o.p [14:34] Kasm279: hmm [14:34] woww i like that [14:35] esaka: yes [14:35] bleh i hate this keyboard (the first apple USB one) [14:35] If I'm on hardy, how do I install a package from 'karmic' with apt-get? [14:35] bloopletech, you dont [14:35] bloopletech: you are not supposedd to [14:35] Nirkus: You can add the Ubuntu server equivalent of the sources.list and keys. Then try an update. It should install all the server stuff that you need. [14:35] bloopletech: why,what is the reason? [14:35] bloopletech, breakage is guaranteed [14:35] Well I want the version of nginx provided in karmic, not the version provided in hardy [14:36] bloopletech: could try a backport when karmic is released i believe [14:36] #ubuntu.it [14:36] Fine, I'll just apply the configure line karmic uses to my source dist of nginx and compile that [14:37] bloopletech: why dont you just use karmic then [14:37] bloopletech: Have you looked to see if there is an updated package in the ppa's? That might be an option [14:37] hm [14:37] bloopletech: its better than messing up the sources list [14:37] koala? [14:37] anyone care to help me troubleshoot: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=837257 [14:37] ravigehlot: so there is a fundamental difference? [14:37] tbh I'm not up on the version naming at the moment, and I don't know what karmic is ;) [14:37] bloopletech: ya best method is ppa [14:37] ppa? [14:37] or safer maybe [14:37] !ppa [14:37] With Launchpad's Personal Package Archives (PPA), you can build and publish binary Ubuntu packages for multiple architectures simply by uploading an Ubuntu source package to Launchpad.

[15:26] or should i say, twice the amount of cpus? [15:26] no, i want it from the splashcreen [15:26] Wrec: you have edited the menu.lst [15:26] indus: the iso file has 99% health, that 1% does it harm?

[15:27] and save it with the menu.lst [15:27] Wrec: hmm ok but its different [15:27] that was possible with Mandriva [15:27] abdo, you need to select it grom the grub boot menu [15:27] actionparsnip: you there? [15:27] Wrec: it has more entries than in menu.lst , why did you remove some entries? [15:27] abdo, different distros do things differently [15:27] Nishok: sup [15:28] rabidmachine9: Have you checked https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook already ? [15:28] actionparsnip: the health is 99% of that iso file [15:28] Halitech, ok dude .. [15:28] actionparsnip: does it harm? [15:28] abdo, you could also just do a crtl+alt+f1 - f7 from the login screen and you will get a terminal. [15:28] Nishok: did it pass md5 test, do the md5sums calculated, match? [15:28] revygttam, nice [15:28] ok here goes thx indus [15:28] revygttam, does that allow logging in as root?

[15:28] actionparsnip: well I can't get that to work.. but I used poweriso, that checks the health of the iso too [15:29] Halitech: yes cuz you are prompted with a login screen [15:29] iam going to reboot and c what happens [15:29] Wrec: ok i guess use the backup [15:29] Wrec: wait [15:29] ok thanks [15:29] Wrec: how did you do that? [15:29] Nishok: if you dont have the valid hash then poweriso cant do squat [15:29] Wrec: ok nvm [15:29] revygttam, but if root is disabled then how can they log in using root? [15:29] Wrec: reboot [15:29] ikonia, is there something special i need to do? [15:29] playing around with it grrrrrrrr [15:29] brb hope [15:29] Halitech: oh, if root is disabled you cannot, i didnt know that was the case [15:29] Nishok: here are the hashes: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes [15:29] Halitech: you can only login with root if root is enabled [15:29] Halitech, what do u mean by disabled ?? [15:29] dmh: enable it in the bios and that's it [15:29] Halitech: login = login-promt [15:29] ActionParsnip: i think his iso is fine [15:29] Halitech, who can disable the ROOT ?? [15:29] ikonia, enable hyperthreading? [15:30] Nishok: have an md5 check ran on the file, and compare the code to the ones on the site [15:30] revygttam, root is disabled by default [15:30] dmh: correcy [15:30] correct [15:30] abdo: just login with your normal username, and then do a sudo -i, that will give you root privelages [15:30] i gtg byeeeeeee [15:30] ikonia, cool, tx [15:30] hi all, I'm running Jaunty on LG net laptop, and my problem is when the battery is almost discharged Ubuntu doesn't hibernate, simply power off.

Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [15:30] !root |abdo [15:30] Halitech, abdo: Not disabled (that would be insane) - it is only locked, without a password. [15:30] abdo: please see above [15:30] indus: peace [15:30] Halitech: thats not always the case though correct, i think you can specify to use root during install [15:30] revygttam: Nope.

[16:01] StevenMyers: Not software, hardware. It's a fibre channel host bus adapter. [16:01] Off topic but I have a cousin called Steve Myers ! [16:02] lol [16:02] Good name too N1ckR [16:02] :-) [16:02] Mithran: Ah ok [16:02] You dont have a cousin called Nick do you ;) [16:02] * StevenMyers thinks [16:03] hello is there someone who can help me with kvm ? [16:03] No I don't [16:03] or better libvirt [16:03] i checked the /boot/grub/menu.lst. this shows the old option of ubuntu 8.04.1 LTS against the latest karnel. [16:06] I'm using rhythmbox 0.12.4, despite having the "status icon" plugin enabled, rhythmbox does not minimize to tray (instead, it just minimizes to the task bar), anyone that can point me in the right direction? [16:07] preetam, how did you upgrade? [16:07] re [16:07] question: I am restoring a ubuntu installation that used a swap partiton. In the new hard disk I will not use swap. I already recovered files and restored grub, Should I do something to disable the swap on the new installation? [16:08] i upgrade through internet using update manager [16:08] preetam, are you sure it upgraded successfully? [16:08] jarl22: comment it out in the fstab [16:08] jarl22: or delete the line alltogether [16:09] ok, thank you erUSUL [16:12] yes yes it upgraded successfully.i think the system was unable to modify the grub menu.lst since it was manually changed by me. my laptop is a dual boot one with windows XP as the other OS. [16:14] I'm setting up my printer via CUPS... and it's asking for username and password, the tutorial says it's usually root and the root password, but I don't remember ever setting a password for root when I installed ubuntu. [16:14] let hope my grub does right...after upgrade to 9.10 is done...but im already useing grub 2 in 9.04 [16:14] preetam, there should be a command to update grub but I don't know it off hand [16:14] mikepett: are you using System>Admin>Printers ? [16:15] someone speaks dutch that can help me installing ubuntu? [16:15] Halitech: preetam sudo update-grub [16:15] erUSUL: no, I'm in the web browser CUPS configuration [16:15] mikepett, it would be your primary users password [16:15] erUSUL, I was thinking it might be that but wasn't sure [16:15] mikepett: any reason to use the web over the gui ? [16:15] I've tried my user name with that password (my username is primary user), it's not working [16:16] I am trying to install apache2 webserver but when I do sudo a2enmod userdir, it tells me that userdir module is not found. What should I do? [16:16] nope, I just don't know what I'm doing so I'm following the tutorial step by step (installing wireless printer driver) [16:16] someone speaks dutch that can help me installing ubuntu? [16:16] mikepett: are you on lpadmin group ? [16:16] !dh [16:16] Sorry, I don't know anything about dh [16:16] yes i have already tried the command sudo update-grub to update it.but it is of no use [16:16] <_UsUrPeR_> I'm having a heck of a time getting TLS working with LDAP in Ubuntu 9.04. Is anybody familiar with it? [16:16] Nishok: PM me ;) [16:16] erUSUL: I don't know... I didn't make any changes to default install [16:17] mikepett, in a terminal run groups and see [16:17] mikepett: add yourself to it « sudo adduser $USER lpadmin » [16:17] lpadmin is listed so yes? === Ranakah is now known as Vampire === Vampire is now known as Ranakah [16:18] ok, there it goes... damn I'm an idiot [16:18] Hagus: What version of apache2 do you have installed? [16:18] lemme see Pici [16:18] I was entering root with my root password instead of entering my username, I thought I tried that, but maybe I typed my password wrong that time... thanks guys! [16:19] Can someone PM me who knows about wine [16:19] fn sweet... got wifi working, screen res correct, and now wifi printing... I'm in heaven [16:19] how difficult would it be to revert xorg to ver 6? [16:19] OhLookItsKyle: The best place to ask about wine would be in their support channel: #winehq [16:19] OhLookItsKyle: Why not try their channel instead, #winehq [16:19] Thanks [16:19] I didnt know they had one [16:21] Pici: Apache2 version 2.2.11-2ubuntu2.3 [16:21] how can I map a printer on a windows server on a ubuntu machine? [16:21] Decano: i just run the printer config tool and point it to the windows shared printer server/printer [16:22] Hagus: And do you have apache2.2-common installed? apt-cache policy apache2.2-common will show you [16:22] !vanilla [16:22] Sorry, I don't know anything about vanilla [16:22] what is a vanilla kernel? [16:22] heyya [16:23] Dr_Willis, I've tried [16:23] Need a step by step guide for setting up PostgreSQL database server in ubuntu [16:23] Vinceman, last time I heard of a Vanilla kernel it was when I was running MAC OSX on a non apple computer [16:23] It seems to be - Installed: 2.2.11-2ubuntu2.3 [16:24] Decano: You might want to set your linux machines default workgroup in /etc/samba/smb.conf also. I also always install the full samba server and otehr samba packages. [16:24] Dr_Willis, but I didn't see the printer [16:24] I just typed in what you said [16:24] It gave several lines in response [16:24] hello anybody can suggest how to install the nvidia driver in ubuntu 8.10. [16:24] Decano: i also always set up identical usernames/passwords on the windows bos as i do the linux box. [16:24] Hagus: Then you should be okay. Can you check if userdir.load exists in /etc/apache2/mods-available ? [16:24] Decano: or be sure to have 'guest' access allowed on the windows box. [16:24] Dr_Willis, ok.. I'll check the samba [16:25] no way to create a passwordless user account huh? [16:25] Decano: i always set up home shares and stuff. [16:25] mikepett: theres ways. [16:25] preetam, check and see if it exists in System - admin - restricted drivers [16:25] Dr_Willis: I'm all ears. :) [16:25] mikepett: no gui tools to do it. last i did that i had to manually edit the passwd file i recall [16:25] When I tried doing cd /etc/apache2/mods-available it said No such file or directory, Pici :( [16:25] mikepett: i made a user calleed 'shutdown' whos login shell was 'shutdown' :) and no password. [16:26] Hagus: How did you install apache? [16:26] sudo apt-get install apache2 [16:26] Dr_Willis: where can I find that password file? [16:26] I then mucked around with pear and symfony [16:26] Dr_Willis: just set a password with the gui, and the edit the filev (delete the password)? [16:26] It is since starting with symfony that I have had the problem [16:27] mikepett: if you dont know about /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow then you PROBERLy shouldent be messing with them... [16:27] However, it is no longer confined to my symfony project. [16:27] It is now affecting everything bar phpmyadmin [16:27] Dr_Willis, ty very much mf [16:27] mikepett: i recall it being one 'field' in /etc/shadow i had to change for the user in question. [16:27] Dr_Willis: I understand but I'm ok... that's all I needed to know. :| [16:27] Dr_Willis: gotcha [16:27] yes it exists in the system admin -> hardware drivers but whenever i activate it the resolution becomes an absolute mess. [16:27] mikepett: its proberly on web sites.. but last i did it was ages ago.. and its a big security issue. [16:28] mikepett: backup ANY files you edit by hand. [16:28] I shall tryp sudo apt-get install again [16:28] preetam, what do you mean by a mess? [16:28] Hagus: Well, that path should definitely exist on an apache2 install. I suggest that you backup any custom stuff you have in /etc/apache2/ and then apt-get purge apache2.2-common and then apt-get install apache2 [16:28] Dr_Willis: ya, this is just a shared acount for my kids for our home shared computer, figured I'd make it simpler for them, there's nothing not needs to be password protected on here [16:29] ty Pici :) [16:29] mikepett: gdm has a auto-login feature. [16:30] is xubuntu faster than ubuntu 8.10? [16:30] Balsaque, not really [16:30] hello [16:30] Dr_Willis: I thought about that, but from time to time I want to login as I have a password protected account on that computer as well. Is there a way to enable auto login for their account but be able to hit a certain key so that I can login to my account if I want? [16:30] \ join#ubuntu.it [16:30] need help to acces windows sharfolders with ubuntu [16:30] elfazendero: /join #ubuntu-it [16:31] oops, thanxs [16:31] just got this on mt Hd yesterday, love it, should i do the 9.04 upgrade (newbie) [16:31] Balsaque, what video card do you have? [16:31] Pici: Thankyou! It works! [16:32] Hagus: Great to hear [16:32] Halitech...8mb ati 2x agp xpert from 11 years ago [16:32] Balsaque, I wouldn't unless y ou want to have headaches [16:32] sup yawl... lol [16:33] Balsaque, if you can get a decent nvidia card then I would say yes [16:33] Halitech...no i am am definitely opposed to headaches [16:33] like to keep it simple [16:33] How can i check in ubuntu that apache is installed? [16:34] does anyone have a minute to help me with amarok? i hear test sounds, but amarok wont playback [16:34] Balsaque, ati support on old cards has really dropped off so stay under 9.04 unless you can get a better card [16:34] '~$ apt-cache show ekiga' outputs a line: "Task: mobile-mid." How is this information used in Ubuntu? What is meant here by 'Task'? [16:34] Halitech...i can get a 128mb video card according to dell [16:34] oks, open up a browser adn go to http://localhost [16:34] oks: apt-cache policy apache2 [16:34] Balsaque, ati or nvidia? [16:35] don't recall they offered it too me months ago-will check on it...why is nvidia beeter for linux? [16:35] Hi geeks: Can anyone tell me what font did they use in this logo on the word "software"? [16:35] http://promote.opera.com/logos/Opera_logo5_t.png [16:35] Thanks!!

[16:35] Balsaque, nvidia currently has better support then ati [16:36] pici: tnx. :) [16:36] Halitech: im running ati card right now without bugs [16:36] Halitech: it really depends [16:36] acostello, I do as well but most of the older cards in 9.04 don't currently work well [16:36] Halitech-great i have read a lot about them [16:37] hi all [16:37] Hi, I have an ftp folder (with Connect to server... in places menu), which I want to access from the terminal. Where is it located? [16:37] can any one tell me how to play .wmv files on my machine ? [16:37] Halitech: i know nvidia is alot better than ati when it comes to linux, that is no question, but i havent had extremely hard problems with them. which card does he have?

[16:38] acostello, no issues here either but I'm not a gamer or run compiz ... older 8meg Xpert agp [16:38] hello all [16:38] captnchaos: doesn't nautilus mounts the ftp folder to the filesystem? [16:38] acostell-well ithought maybe some of the old cards would be sold cheap [16:38] Balsaque, check around with kijiji or craigslist or a local mum and pop store and see if you can get something for next to free [16:38] i can view nothing on my screen after changing the resolution [16:39] anodesni: It kind of does - under the virtual ~/.gvfs/ filesystem. [16:39] Hailiteck-now yut talin my language [16:39] captnchaos: Look under ~/.gvfs/ [16:39] !gconf [16:39] Sorry, I don't know anything about gconf [16:39] Pici - although the installation of the webserver seems to have gone OK, when I try to open a local webpage, it wants to download it instead. [16:39] Balsaque, there is a place around here that I buy alot of used stuff from and they have 64meg agp cards for 5.00 [16:40] Hagus, html or php page? [16:40] php [16:40] grawity: what? [16:40] well, have not tried html page yet [16:40] captnchaos: captnchaos: Look under ~/.gvfs/ [16:40] Halitech: you could also look at a goodwill or a donation place to find a card, they have alot of computers that people give them [16:40] Hagus, did you install php and restart the server? [16:40] bah [16:40] captnchaos: meh, nevermind that. [16:40] grawity: what should be there? [16:40] grawity: why do you tell me? [16:40] I did not install php after I last installed the webserver [16:40] Balsaque: you could look at goodwill, or a local place thats gets donations and could probably get one for free from there [16:40] grawity: it's not ther [16:40] acostello, good point, except the closest to me is a long distance on the bus [16:41] * Hagus goes to reinstall php now [16:41] Hagus: If its a php page you need to re-enable your php module [16:41] Hagus, then you need to install php module [16:41] Halitech: i would spend the time on the bus and not put any money into that machine if possible [16:41] anyone good with amarok? [16:41] acostello, if I needed the card I probably would but I don't currently :) [16:42] Halitecdo i need better video card for xubuntu (like it because it says it takes up 1.5g instead of ubuntu-took 2.9 on my HD) [16:43] um [16:43] Balsaque, honestly xubuntu is not much different then ubuntu anymore. it should run with the card you have currently but guess on the age, I would probably go with LXDE for the desktop as it is much lighter [16:43] does anyone know how to get the erasedups option to work with .bashrc? [16:43] how do I quota on someone's /home/** folder?? [16:44] hola [16:44] el friki [16:44] how do I quota on someone's /home/** folder?? [16:45] Ashhh: By using the 'quota' command. (apt-get install quota first.) [16:45] Ashhh, http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,2845,2139737,00.asp [16:45] de que va este canal? [16:46] damn [16:46] too much text [16:46] hi ... how could I know all the program running on my opened ports ? [16:46] screw it [16:46] I don't need to quota someone [16:46] !ask [16:46] 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. :-) [16:46] Halitech/is there a website i can go to for LXDE? [16:47] ubottu: well said. :) [16:47] Sorry, I don't know anything about well said. :) [16:47] Balsaque, http://lxde.org [16:47] hello everyone [16:47] any recommendations on music recording software for ubuntu ? [16:47] I'm trying to stop the bluetooth module from loading at boot (since I don't have bluetooth anyway), it's freezing and causing me to boot with acpi=off... I found a post that said I should add blacklist hci_usb to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist... that does sound right? I just don't want to disable the wrong thing, like usb support. [16:47] Balsaque, if you have 9.04 installed you can simply run sudo apt-get install lxde [16:48] Halitech/i have 8.10 with the 349 updates right now [16:48] hi [16:48] Is it bad practice to use iptables rerouting for services on port <1025? [16:48] What are the pro/cons of using iptable rerouting VS sudo native bind and privilege drop? [16:48] How can I get the current X resolution from the command line (over ssh)? [16:48] Balsaque, ok, then you would need to get it manually from the website [16:48] heya. Around 2PM every day, ubuntu decides to apply dhcp to eth0. I've removed network-manager, and i'm only using a static IP in /etc/network/interfaces. What exactly would cause this behavior? [16:48] runs great! nut will be trying to resurect another ols puter soon [16:49] Balsaque, if you are happy with it then stick with what you like :) [16:49] sartan check the logs for it [16:49] alright, needing some help, using an HP workstation which has a full range speaker built into the case, having trouble changing my default output to the other sound device so that it goes through the speakers [16:49] mikepett: sounds right. in case there is some problem you only have to delete a line from a fie [16:49] Halitech/oh i will keep it on this set, want the lighest weight system for my next resurection [16:50] How you guys use your ipod to sync with ubunutu ? [16:50] n08l3J: that's the first place I checked. unfortunately there truly is nothing [16:50] what music players u prefer / recommend [16:50] erUSUL: well I was just worried that since my keyboard is usb, if I disable usb, then... but I guess theres probably a way. [16:50] Balsaque, maybe for the next one go 9.04 minimal install from the alt cd and then install lxde [16:50] mikepett: there is allways the livecd route [16:50] sartan: did you tried re-installing network-manager to see if the problem dissappears ? [16:51] erUSUL: I did it, rebooting now. :) [16:51] n08l3J: You can use gtkpod to synch your ipod. [16:51] n08l3J: this was happening before network-manager was removed too. [16:51] Halitech/would of never gueasssed you get lighter than the 1.5g xubuntu uses [16:51] I removed network-manager as it was doing other funky dhcp things with my 14 usb ethernet adapters. [16:51] hey [16:51] revygttam: know of anything to sync a LG phone (env3) besides the beta bitpim? =-] [16:52] thanks revygttam [16:52] erUSUL: omg, my computer is smoking, what did you do??? [16:52] Balsaque, there are alot that are lighter, any of the *box window managers will be even lighter [16:52] i've kept my home partition separate from root and boot and whatnot so that when i switch distributions or reinstall, i can just mount my home directory [16:52] is it signifigant that /etc/network/interfaces is; "auto eth0; iface eth0 inet static" - auto and iface on two different lines? [16:52] gz [16:52] geekbuntu: your probably gonna have to stick with that fellow. [16:52] mikepett, is it old enough to smoke? [16:52] when i've done this, i've removed all unwanted ~/. files and dirs [16:52] revygttam: i was hoping i didn't have to but i haven't seen anything else [16:52] sartan: you can always try it, to see if that make any difference ? [16:53] unfortunately, when doing this i've removed ~/.bashrc and it hasn't been reinstated [16:53] i m not getting this 2AM thing [16:53] :P [16:53] whay at that time [16:53] mikepett: i closed my eyes concentated in your nick... then your name was revealed to me and you house.... i sumonned a firebolt from hell and melted your computer [16:53] 2PM [16:53] geekbuntu: yeah unless theres some way that you can mount its filesystem its dobutful [16:53] how can i recreate ~/.bashrc for my user? [16:53] yah 2PM [16:53] I've no idea either. I thought it was a cronjob but there's nothing there [16:53] Ubuntu is Debian-base [16:53] d [16:53] I edited my "sources.list" a while back, I think I ruined my system update process. What is the command to search through folders to find files? [16:53] the default one when creating a new user [16:53] revygttam: so far - it's the only way in i've found - thanks for answering tho [16:53] sdcurlee, *find* [16:53] when removing auto eth0, the interface doesn't start when i restart /etc/init.d/networking. [16:53] sartan, can u manually start it using ifconfig eth0 up ? [16:54] I need Help I want to download sound converter [16:54] erUSUL: lol.... it's not smoking, but it caused all kinds of havoc... I got Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode and errors referencing nvidia kernel modules and failing to intiliase nvidia graphics device [16:54] m4j, sudo apt-get install sound-convertor [16:54] well, of course, as that's not a script. when it flipflops to dhcp, i actually ifdown eth0 && ifup eth0 too [16:54] m4j, if your okay with command line look into pacpl, without a doubt it supports the most filetypes [16:54] OK - have downloaded php5 but browser still wanting to download rather than show php files [16:54] mikepett: seriously.. the line you added to the blacklist file can not be the couse of graphic misconfiguration [16:54] Hagus, did you restart apache? [16:54] češi? [16:55] * sartan scratches head [16:55] Halitech: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart [16:55] Is the command apache2 restart? [16:55] ah ta Cpudan80 [16:55] apache2 might be aliased to that [16:55] not sure [16:55] can you log in to my computer [16:55] no [16:55] and do it for me [16:56] !who | m4j [16:56] m4j: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [16:56] it cave me a erroe [16:56] any media apps that will support connecting to an orb server? [16:56] m4j what is giving you an error? [16:56] Cpudan80, thanks, been too long since I've had to restart apache [16:56] Halitech: find doesn't seem to locate it, do you happen to know where the sources.list file is? [16:56] mikepett: as i said usb_hci has nothing to do with nvidia... maybe there was a ernel upgrade ? [16:56] sdcurlee, /etc/apt/sources.list [16:56] HALITECH can you login to my come [16:56] Halitech: thank you. [16:57] m4j, can I? probably yes, will I? no [16:57] erUSUL: I also removed the acpi=off since I was hoping would no longer be necessary. It was freezing when is got to starting bluetooth, but adding that option allowed to to boot so I figured removing bluetooth should allow me to boot without disabling acpi, but to no avail... when I put that option back it, it's booting again [16:57] m4j, what error did you get? [16:57] Reading state information... Done E: Couldn't find package sound-convertor [16:57] I did restart but problem persists [16:57] mikepett: i see... running without acpi is not nice... [16:58] Hagus, sudo a2enmod php5 [16:58] Hagus, also try clearing your browser cache. [16:58] erUSUL: I guess I just need to leave well enough alone, but it's just aggravating... exactly, I'd sure like to have acpi [16:58] halitech, Reading state information... Done E: Couldn't find package sound-convertor [16:58] mikepett: maybe you can try another boot options...

[16:59] grr it says ERROR: Module php5 does not exist! [16:59] sdcurlee: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [16:59] sdcurlee, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [16:59] thank you [16:59] Hagus, need the apache module then :) [16:59] revygttam, wouldn't that be to upgrade from say 8.10 to 9.04? [17:00] Halitech, E: Couldn't find package soundconvertor [17:00] How can I make it so that my users can receive e-mails sent to username@servername.tld? Sendmail is installed and e.g. bad sudo warnings are sent to his mailbox, so internal mail seems to work [17:00] Good day everyone , Is there any way to voice chat in yahoo in ubuntu ? [17:00] I appreciate those references, but I've tried just about every boot option under the sun.. it's not really that it won't boot, it's that my usb keyboard/mouse won't work unless I have acpi=off [17:00] Halitech: yea i think your right ';\ [17:01] Hagus, libapache2-mod-php5 [17:01] I thought it was the bluetooth because that's where I was getting irq errors, but I blacklisted that and still get those errors and no keyboard/mouse without turning off acpi so I"m at a loss on that. [17:01] m4j, strange ... can you use pastebin to show us the output of cat /etc/apt/sources.list [17:01] Sorry, I forgot the channel for Ubuntu mentors. :( [17:02] ty duffydack - now dowloading it ;) [17:02] Halitech, I am new to this [17:02] pluma, sendmail is for sending email, not recieving ... you need a mail client [17:02] !pastebin > m4j [17:02] m4j, please see my private message [17:03] helo [17:03] anyone know good html editor with code completition? :D [17:03] mikla: There isn't an absolute perfect one for gnome, but bluefish seems to be best. [17:03] Halitech, can you help me [17:04] how much does space ubuntu 9 - 64bit install to? i know it's more than 32, but just how much? [17:04] m4j, do you know how to open a terminal? [17:04] is there a way to get rid of the little seperators on the taskbar? [17:04] Halitech: How do I go about that? I want a pop3+imap server. I think it may be installed, but not configured. [17:04] thx [17:04] the_beav, huh? [17:05] pluma, unless you've installed it there isn't one installed by default [17:05] yes [17:05] Halitech: I found a tutorial, but it says receiving always works, which it doesn't. [17:05] m4j, okay, open a terminal and type in /cat /etc/apt/sources.list [17:05] Halitech: I'm using a VServer provided by a hosting company, so I think they pre-installed it. Apache2 came preinstalled as well. [17:05] Halitech: how much hard drive space does 64 bit install too, as opposed to 32 bit? [17:06] halitech: 64 bit requires XX amount of HD space [17:06] pluma, they should have documentation on using their software thats installed [17:06] the_beav, it should be about the same [17:06] * Hagus waves with gratitude and respect at duffydack, Halitech, Cpudan80 and Pici, who all helped him to get his life back :) [17:06] Halitech, bash: /cat/etc/apt/sources.list: No such file or directory [17:06] yw [17:06] My webserver works again :) [17:07] m4j, no type in this cat /etc/apt/sources.list [17:07] * Hagus goes skipping through the channel [17:07] Halitech: thx... [17:07] Halitech: They don't. It usually comes with Debian 4 + Confixx, but I wanted to use Ubuntu because Confixx wouldn't let me adjust usernames etc. Long story short: there's no info on what the system has and what it hasn't. A tutorial to setting up a POP3+IMAP server would be enough to get me started, but Google isn't my friend today. [17:07] Halitech, bash: /etc/apt/sources.list: Permission denied [17:08] m4j: sudo? [17:08] pluma, WHat [17:08] m4j: type sudo cat ... [17:08] * addisonj_ cringes [17:09] pluma, I used to have a link but I cant find it right now but howtoforge has some good walk throughs [17:09] pluma, it is not doing anything [17:09] m4j permission denied means you have to be root to do it use sudo to get root [17:09] m4j: sudo cat /etc/whateverthepathwas [17:09] m4j, cat /etc/apt/sources.list [17:10] Halitech: howtoforge? Will have a look. [17:10] hey,, how do i rotate my screen ?? [17:10] you don't need sudo to use the cat command to get the info from a text file [17:10] Sup guys, is there any way to get my default font configuration back from my fresh install with openbox? Or is there anyone using openbox that can just tell me the default fonts? [17:10] shredder12: You take the screen with both of your hands and turn. [17:11] Hahaha === ant is now known as antonpiatek [17:11] pluma, thanks.. i tried but it seemed pretty heavy.. is there any way i can do the same with my virtual desktop... using some utility [17:11] josephstalin: i'll look for you [17:11] hello. I downloaded and burned debian lenny ISO file to my flashdisk with Ubuntu startup creator. then I restarted my system. While installing debian, it says there is no CD in the cd-rom. How can I install it using my flashdisk? How can I say the installer that my instalition files are in my flashdisk ? [17:12] shredder12: If you're using nVidia the proprietary driver can do that for you, I think. [17:12] shredder12: xrandr --rotate [orientation] (see man xrandr for details) [17:12] Thanks, vascot! [17:13] fbianconi, pluma actually i was looking for a command or a similar thing.. I tried xrandr --rotate right but it gave some "usage error" [17:13] man xrandr? [17:13] kk [17:13] pluma, found this http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu8.04-lts [17:13] cze [17:14] mam a sprzedanie xp rginałka [17:14] Halitech: Thanks. I'll have a read. [17:14] pluma, and the 'official' guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MailServer [17:14] Thanks, Halitech [17:15] pluma, i read the man page and I think i m probably doing the right thing. ""xrandr --rotate orientation" which could be normal,left ,right or inverted [17:15] jeofizik, I don't think the ubuntu startup creator works with the debian install [17:15] Halitech: but it works [17:15] '~$ apt-cache show ekiga' outputs a line: "Task: mobile-mid." How is this information used in Ubuntu? What is meant here by 'Task'? [17:16] jeofizik, not if its not looking in the right place for the files it isn't [17:16] pluma, i am new to linux can you help [17:16] shredder12: try "xrandr -o [orientation]" [17:16] fbianconi, kk lemme see.. [17:16] pluma, i am typing what you are tell me [17:16] bullgard4: They're kind of like groups, I think... for example, ubuntu-desktop is a task, not a real package, but you can install it and it'll get all the packages it needs. [17:16] Hi is there a channel for questions about hardware? [17:16] fbianconi, it says "bad match (invalid parameter attribute)" and some 3-5 lines of error [17:17] grawity: No, ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage, its a package that installs nothing but has many dependencies. [17:17] Hmm. Forgot that. [17:17] bullgard4: Take a look at tasksel --list-tasks [17:17] How do I scroll the log in irssi? [17:18] pluma: the page up key [17:18] can someone help me reconfigure fstab, i need some partition to be mounted at boot, which paramaters should i insert [17:18] Ah! [17:18] whileimhere: if your question involves getting the hardware to work on ubuntu, then this channel should be ok. :) [17:18] !hardware | whileimhere [17:18] whileimhere: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [17:18] fbianconi, here is the full error http://paste.ubuntu.com/276462/ [17:18] warriorforgod: Thanks. That did the trick [17:19] shredder12: which video card do you have and with what drivers are you using it? [17:19] tasksel allows to selct from 34 software collections. But I find myself unable to associate 'mobile-mid' to one of them. Can you help? [17:19] Pici: tasksel allows to selct from 34 software collections. But I find myself unable to associate 'mobile-mid' to one of them. Can you help? [17:19] ZmAY, you can use something called storage device manager it will help you mount the devices you want at startup [17:19] anyone know of a UI designer for gtk? [17:19] s/selct/select/ [17:20] fbianconi, i have nvidia card and i have installed the drivers from the hardware driver manager [17:20] it's got to be able to work with python [17:20] racecar56: glade ? [17:20] fbianconi, the recommended one. [17:20] nanotube: does it work with python? [17:20] bullgard4: I see mobile-mid in my list. [17:20] nanotube: i used it a while ago and i don't think it did but i'd better check again [17:20] nanotube: s/while/long time [17:21] bullgard4: tasksel --list-tasks| grep mid [17:21] racecar56: it outputs xml files, which can be used with a number of languages, including python.

I have a desktop user account set to auto login, and it asks for the default keyring password to that account everytime (I know it's a security thing but it kind of defeats the purpose of auto-login)... anyway to get rid of that? [17:23] Balsaque, its good for restoring really old systems [17:23] Hello [17:23] shredder12, in column 4, which parameters should i put [17:23] fbianconi, thanks.. i will give it a try..

If you get a message asking you to use Synaptic Package Manager, just goto System > Synaptic Package Manager and use the menu on the left to look through the catagories [17:54] is there a way to see the description of the functions included in the standard c libraries ? because i get nothing when i use man [17:54] i want try here [17:54] MichNroll: What is your problem? [17:54] MichNroll: What exactly are you trying to do? [17:54] MichNroll: You need to ask a question first. All you've said so far is that you need help. [17:54] botanicus: hmm, maybe the newness of the is causing you a problem. Sometimes it takes a bit for drivers to make it to release [17:55] Why does gnome-network-manager never connect to pptp while KVPNC does just fine? It's weird [17:55] danbhfive: so it should works in daily builds, right :) ? But it didn't ... and mainly I don't think this is about drivers, it boots, works, everything's fine until one point [17:55] hi to all .. i have a problem with the wireless in my laptop ... ubuntu 9.04 ... the wireless card does not scan for avelable wireless networks but it is recognized and enabled [17:55] well...i need to connect my Creative Zen X-Fi to my ubuntu...i installed all the MTP necessary files and lib..but something doesnt work [17:56] is there a way to see the description of the functions included in the standard c libraries ? because i get nothing when i use man [17:56] hey guys, is there a package i can use to generate http redirects on a gateway running ubuntu?

How can I get my system to use the label it's supposed to? [18:23] how do I find out what version of gnome I have?

[20:37] Howdy all. This question is slightly off-topic, but I figured there might be some kernel hackers or whatnot that would know. [20:37] Is the Intel Atom processor x86 compatible? [20:38] The reason I ask is I was linked to a site where you can custom order machines w/ Ubuntu and the low-end model comes with the Atom processor. All it says about the processor is that it's 32-bit. [20:38] Halitech, thanks for your help [20:38] tje, x86 and 32bit are the same thing [20:38] # symbols omit everything that follows in conky how do I get # to show? [20:38] U-b-u-n-t-u, welcome [20:39] Halitech, not true. I have a couple boxes with hyperSPARC processors that are 32-bit. [20:39] guyute, have you tried to escape them? [20:39] Halitech no go on the reconfigure [20:39] is there a way to get a list of all files on the system that werent put there by the package manager? [20:39] old Sun SparcStation 10s, the pizza box style [20:39] tje, sparc is a completely different beast though [20:39] trying to find what has been added to the box over time [20:39] escape them? [20:40] anyone know where i can get a good NeXT machine? [20:40] Halitech, I realize that. That is my point. All this site indicated is that the Intel Atom processor uses 32-bit words and memory addresses. That does NOT necessarily mean that it's x86-compatible. [20:40] hi [20:40] razor_X, Check on eBay. That's where I've bought most of my exotic hardware; including an SGI Indy. [20:40] razor_X ebay perhaps [20:40] tje, but if we stick with intel machines, 32bit and x86 are interchangable [20:40] is configuring userChrome.css supposed to work with swiftweasel? If so, should it be in the extracted tarball or in ~/.sw35? Either way, why doesn't it work, is there some magical setting no one mentions? === prince_j2mmys is now known as prince_jammys [20:41] Halitech, I agree that Intel's previous offerings in 32-bit were all x86 compatible. What I'm not sure of, however, is if the Atom uses the i386/x86 instruction set. I seem to recall reading that it does not. [20:42] odd.. my shift key just quit working [20:42] VCoolio, Ever uses the strace(1) tool? [20:42] tje: never heard of; have a link? [20:42] interesting... my caps lock and shift keys are not working... [20:43] VCoolio, it's a diagnostic tool that's available for most/all Linux distributions. If you don't already have it, try "sudo apt-get install strace" [20:43] helow [20:43] i was going to type and in capital letters for dramatic effect, but i can't atm [20:43] can anyone help fix my volume up, down, and mute buttons in 9.04? [20:43] tje: "Intel Atom is the brand name for a line of ultra-low-voltage x86 and x86-64 CPUs (or microprocessors) from Intel..." > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Atom [20:43] helow [20:43] helow [20:43] helow [20:43] helow [20:43] helow [20:43] helow [20:43] Pupuser402-2: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:43] tje: Halitech: I believe that Atom does use the standard x86 instruction set [20:43] VCoolio, Once you have strace installed, I'd be glad to give you a few tips on how to determine which/if userChrome.css file it's accessing when you open Swiftweasel. [20:43] thanks for trying guys ima do some more internet research [20:43] xikteny, Thank you very much. That's exactly what I wanted to know. [20:43] I just switched from gentoo, and I have a problem: I got an amd64-processor and 8 GiB of RAM, but I only see 3.1 GiB of RAM, also, it seems like i can't install 64-bit packages, it always says "Wrong system architecture: amd64". How can I switch to an 64-bit kernel/system so i can use all of my ram/install 64 bit programs? Do I have to reinstall with another version of ubuntu? [20:44] G_A_C, I was just looking it up on the intel site, almost as bad as HPs site to find stuff on [20:44] antu: yes, I believe you have to reinstall with the 64bit version, you can't upgrade "in place" to amd64 [20:44] !amd64 | antu [20:44] antu: AMD64 and EMT64 are fully supported architectures on Ubuntu. See http://tinyurl.com/3jkole and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amd64 for more information. [20:44] anteaya, you will need to reinstall [20:44] Back in the day, I knew every type of (common) hardware out there. Nowadays, there's so many different FSB speeds, RAM speeds, hard-drive interfaces, etc. I'm not rich, can't buy one of everything to become familiar. ;) [20:44] Halitech: I thought it did anyway and just checked Wikipedia which agrees with me...I agree that the Intel website can be difficult to navigate :) [20:44] tje: strace is already the newest version :)_tell me. [20:45] hi [20:45] G_A_C, I was pretty sure it did as well, its used in a lot of windows netbooks from what I've seen [20:45] meanieface: thanks for the recenet link, however i dont have /usr/local/lib/moc/decoder_plugins/ should i create it? Note>I have the plugins /usr/lib/moc/decoder_plugins/ as in the case on the link [20:45] ok, thank you! :-) [20:45] wrong acpi battery info when coming back from suspend [20:45] what can I do [20:45] hello folks [20:45] Halitech: indeed, it's pretty much everywhere now in the netbook market [20:45] antu: Sounds like you download and installed from the standard desktop cd which is 32bit, you'll need to download the 64bit version from the ubuntu website [20:45] Quiliro: hello [20:45] can anyone help fix my volume up, down, and mute buttons in 9.04? [20:45] VCoolio, OK, the best bet is to let strace start firefox (like starting a program through a debugger) and have it log to a file because the output is going to be VERY verbose. [20:46] antu, if you have a seperate /home folder you can install 64bit and reuse the same /home [20:46] nmvictor: did you create the symlink like the guys suggestion at the bottom? [20:46] tje: like "strace firefox > log.txt" ? [20:46] i cant install Linux Ubuntu i have permission error [20:46] VCoolio, Can you give me the path to Swiftweasel? Is it /usr/bin/swiftweasel? If not sure, try running "which swiftweasel". [20:46] VCoolio, takes a little more than that... patience grasshoppa, I shall give you all the steps you need. [20:46] tje: nah, it's somewhere in my home folder, difficult. [20:47] i cant install Linux Ubuntu i have permission error maybe someone know what to do [20:47] ah, that's good. I'll reinstall and use the 64-bit version then. :-) [20:47] Doesn't matter where the binary/shell script that launches SW is, I just need the path to help you craft the proper command line [20:47] Hitman223, permission error where? [20:48] tje: sh /home/coolio/swiftweasel-3.5.2/swiftweasel/swiftweasel [20:48] VCoolio, OK, here's what you're going to want to run from a command-prompt (from Konsole or similar shell emulator from within X): [20:49] anyone know a good keyboard shortcuts app [20:49] Hitman223, keep it in the channel [20:49] hai [20:49] any M-audiopre usb users here [20:49] VCoolio, strace -s1024 -vvv -n -o $HOME/strace.log sh $HOME/swiftweasel-3.5.2/swiftweasel/swiftweasel [20:49] webbb82: xbindkeys [20:49] Paste that verbatim.

[21:01] guntbert: how? [21:01] bin1010: you're likely using either metacity or compiz as the window manager. [21:01] i like gnome [21:01] is more estable with compiz [21:01] bin1010, I agree, but I find the others to be too minimalist for my liking.

I just popped in to ask a question, don't have time to idle on IRC all day. ;) [21:08] agliodbs: in non-interactive aptitude none [21:08] agliodbs: nope not really, unless you want to look through the packages [21:08] meanieface: im already playing mp3 with it, mp3blaster is complex but i like something it does to the volume kinda like amplifies it [21:08] ok [21:08] tje: patience [21:08] thanks [21:08] hi, http://pastebin.com/m7b5b9446 can you help with this? [21:08] VCoolio, Alright, you're nearly done, just one or two more commands and you'll have your answer. [21:09] is there a management tool for samba shares on Ubuntu server? [21:09] good day everyone ,While using fsck all questions have been answered with YES except those 2 last questions that have been answered NO ,after this ,now filesystem partition is corrupted , and in doing fsck from another linux on this filesystem results http://paste.debian.net/47372/ [21:09] nmvictor: i haven't messed with mp3blaster too much do you still like it compared to mocp? [21:09] !aptitude | agliodbs [21:09] agliodbs: aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. Like other APT front-ends, it can install/remove packages and their dependencies (on Dapper and earlier, however, only aptitude keeps track of unused dependencies). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptitudeSurvivalGuide [21:10] agliodbs: If it's headless/CLI then ebox with ebox-samba [21:10] does anyone know of a decent gnutella that is cli [21:10] * agliodbs googles [21:10] Is there a music player that can stream between windows and linux? [21:11] tje: sorry, my mum called... going to do the grep thing now [21:11] agliodbs: aptitude (is/used to be) smarter than apt-get about packages that were installed automatically to satisfy dependencies, i think. [21:11] VCoolio, OK, like I said, use PasteBin to show me the output if there is any. [21:12] good day everyone ,While using fsck all questions have been answered with YES except those 2 last questions that have been answered NO ,after this ,now filesystem partition is corrupted , and in doing fsck from another linux on this filesystem results http://paste.debian.net/47372/ [21:12] genii: hmmm ... can I add that to an existing Ubuntu box? That seems to be an entire installation [21:12] compiz it is [21:12] meanieface: i like its interface too,only prob with it is the hassle you gotta do before you have the files playing sequentially,in a nutshell coming up with a playlist gets you to its man, other wise its cool too but i will do with mocp for now, am already at its man [21:12] tje: http://pastebin.com/f1225e16a [21:12] nmvictor: yeah that was my only problem with it [21:14] A shell question: I'm trying to extract the pid from a line of output from ps. I'm not sure how to account for leading spaces. [21:14] yo [21:14] VCoolio, OK, it's reading "/home/coolio/.sw35/swiftweasel/u2pzrynu.default/chrome/userChrome.css". That's the file you'll want to edit. [21:14] hi [21:14] VCoolio, Swiftweasel, like Firefox, creates a "profile" directory under $HOME/.sw35/swiftweasel [21:14] meanieface: cant find usefull info about the keyboard shortcuts in man mocp mind running me through some basics? [21:15] FoolishOwl: pidof [21:15] * agliodbs installs webmin [21:15] FoolishOwl: cant you just `pidof someprocess` [21:15] tje: yeah, thanks so far, that makes sense; but now, why doesn't it listen to what do in .css? Could you paste a line that 'should' work? [21:15] nmvictor: sure, s stops, p pauses, the < and > are the volume [21:16] nmvictor: left and right are fast forward and rewind, if you hold shift and the < and > it does volume 1 increment instead of 5 [21:16] VCoolio, Not sure about editing the file itself. All I can tell you is that Swiftweasel is reading and using the settings in that file. [21:16] agliodbs: If you mean more like you have some regular Ubuntu install (and not a server install) and you want some GUI samba tool, then look at gadmin-samba [21:16] meanieface: thanks, [21:16] tje: ok, well I learned about strace now so thanks for that [21:16] I didn't know about pidof, but I don't think it's what I'm looking for. I'm looking for a filter in a pipeline. [21:16] No problem. It's quite useful for debugging all kinds of things. [21:17] genii: looking ... [21:17] Can anyone help me connect to the internet with my other laptop? It doesn't show up my internet connection "Teapot" anymore, how do I connect to it? [21:17] where are the firefox plugins stored? [21:18] meanieface: funny, just a simple '?' is what i needed, kind of similar to mp3blaster.Can i have a config file stored in ~/.moc [21:18] !webmin| agliodbs [21:18] agliodbs: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. [21:18] DeathMetalDean: I don't quite follow you [21:18] where is karmic's menu.lst? [21:18] i just did apt-get autoremove and it took off every single theme i had installed whats that about [21:18] DeathMetalDean: wifi or wired? [21:18] Halitech: that's disappointing [21:18] nmvictor: im not too sure, i don't have one but i haven't really needed to make one [21:18] agliodbs, thats why they recommend ebox now [21:18] Halitech: ebox replaced webmin [21:19] genii, I know [21:19] Halitech: right, but ebox is not a configuraiton tool, it's a whole distro [21:19] resno: It's wifi [21:19] agliodbs: ebox is not a distro, it's a web based admin tool [21:19] and gadmin isn't going to work for me ... this machine is headless ... [21:19] looks like on dosnt need, its just simple and straightforward. [21:19] genii: oh? [21:19] !info ebox [21:19] ebox (source: ebox): the eBox platform - Base framework. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.12.4-0ubuntu1 (jaunty), package size 342 kB, installed size 2512 kB [21:20] genii: ah. it looked like a whole installation. ok, will try [21:20] FoolishOwl: something like "ps -ef | awk '{ print $2 }' " ? [21:20] DeathMetalDean: laptop or desktop? do you know the card type in use? [21:20] agliodbs, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EBox -- eBox Platform is an open source distribution and development framework, based on the Ubuntu Linux computer operating system, intended to manage services in a computer network. [21:20] why did apt-get autoremove del all my themes [21:21] The wireless network connection doesn't show the one I want to connect to, but on this laptop it shows the wireless connection. They're both laptops, the other laptop worked a few days ago, never gave me any problems before but now doesn't pick it up [21:21] webbb82, must have seen them as outdated [21:21] webbb82: it removes things not in use [21:21] resno: I don't know which card [21:21] webbb82 you shouldn't autoremove when you have eyes and thoughts :) [21:21] nmvictor: just a note, if you make a playlist its shift-c to clear it, you can tab to the other window, if you want the window you are in to be full screen type l, make it read the mp3 tags is f [21:21] DeathMetalDean: try restarting... [21:22] Does the user-switch applet require GDM to be runnign? [21:22] fbianconi: that sounds more like it. The trouble is, there's another way to do it, that I've forgotten, and I'm trying to remember. [21:22] resno: I've tried restarting, it hasn't worked in a few days [21:22] ps -ef | grep something | awk '{ print $2 }' [21:23] just upgraded to 9.10 and the System>Admin>adduser is missing? any help?

[21:25] how do i install php apache mysql [21:25] DeathMetalDean, do you know if the router you are trying to connect to has MAC filtering on? [21:25] bye bye gentoo, hello ubuntu :) [21:25] x-kent, clonezilla [21:26] Halitech, thanks [21:26] meanieface: just a query, do you also use a terminal-based browser? [21:26] nmvictor: yeah lynx [21:26] Halitech: I have no idea [21:26] resno: nah, its right beside the wireless [21:26] server_side, sudo apt-get install apache2 php5 mysql [21:26] hal-system-smbios st_wlan is taking up way too much cpu === bluebottle is now known as Guest6260 [21:26] firefox crawls when that process is running [21:27] DeathMetalDean, might be something to check out ... also is the SSID hidden? [21:27] hi [21:27] hi [21:27] Halitech: I have no idea what an SSID is [21:27] DeathMetalDean, its the broadcast ID of the router [21:27] oooh, i use that too. [21:28] sebsebseb, i got everything set-up [21:28] is there something similar to windows' "bring to front" for the system monitor?

[21:28] thiebaude: ok [21:28] meanieface: nope, whats that? [21:28] zebastian: right click on it's title bar, and then put always on top [21:28] Halitech: Yes [21:28] Halitech, is there a package of clonezilla for jaunty ? [21:28] nmvictor: its a terminal that drops down when you press f12, you can have all your terminals in one window [21:28] DeathMetalDean, then log in and take a look [21:29] nmvictor: really great prog [21:29] Halitech: Log in? O_o [21:29] x-kent, its not a package, its a stand alone distro [21:29] DeathMetalDean, to the router [21:29] x-kent, http://clonezilla.org/ [21:29] Halitech: Ah.. I've no idea how to do that, Idk how to do anythin tbh [21:30] meanieface: sounds great, will want to try it, just have 2 apt-get right? [21:30] x-kent, yes, its called experimental [21:30] nmvictor: yep [21:30] DeathMetalDean, do you have someone in the house that knows how the router is set up? [21:30] x-kent, also a karmic based one too [21:30] x-kent, sorry I dont mean package either... as Halitech said. [21:30] Halitech: Yeah my brother would know, he's bein an ass atm tho won't help with anything :( [21:31] Halitech, thanks [21:31] is there any resources for just working from the command line [21:32] DeathMetalDean, well, if you don't know then I would suggest you don't mess around with it as you could make things worth ... something to try would be to simply unplug the power for a minute and see if it will connect [21:32] server_side, np [21:32] duffydack, is there any small program like ghost for dos? I only want to backup my XP partition in case it dies so I will not need to reinstall all the drivers manually [21:32] hali :D van itt magyar? :) [21:32] meanieface: youve made my night, thats was wow [21:32] tudom van külön magyar csati, de szeretem megzavarni a mitsemsejtő angol/amerikaiakat egykis haladzsával [21:33] x-kent, clonezilla is a small "program".

Love Ubuntu, but sometimes programs just close down for some reason. Is there an error log somewhere that might give a clue as to what's happening? [22:02] Halitech: yeah, that's where I am. 403 forbidden [22:03] jjwdesign: dmesg?

I open it and it freezes instantly [22:05] myron:9.04 [22:05] ^ Was working fine earlier (before update actually) [22:05] agliodbs, are you using http://localhost:631/ ? [22:05] Halitech: I'm connecting from my desktop, so it's https://192.168.1.3:631// [22:05] ^ In fact (sorry about multiple messages) it's working except the buddy window wont respond. It still logs in and lets me see who's connected, I just can't do anything [22:05] travis: is the network icon on your panel? [22:06] how does one install a .jar file? [22:06] help [22:06] myron:yeah but not the wireless, just the hard line [22:06] Halitech: server is headless [22:06] agliodbs, maybe try it without the https and just use http [22:06] travis: its the same for both, it changes based on what you're connected to [22:07] nmvictor, A .jar file is a java bytecode file. You can't install it as such but you can run it if you have java virtual machine installed [22:07] Halitech: if there's some what to configure printers remotely other than the cups browser, btw, please let me know [22:07] how do i configure a sound card [22:07] Halitech: did [22:07] !jar [22:07] Sorry, I don't know anything about jar [22:07] Halitech: same result [22:07] travis: when you click the icon, what shows up? [22:07] myron: nope, when I plugged in the cat5 it fired up, no wireless option [22:07] actually, a jar is just a zip files with a manifest [22:07] Halitech: let me post my cups.d.conf [22:07] :( [22:07] myron:auto eth0 is all [22:07] isn't jar just a zipped bunch of .class?

[22:10] habermann24: You need to tell it to look for development releases. You should ask in #ubuntu+1 for details [22:10] myron: no, i've used ubuntu for awhile, usually after i install wireless just works, not so this time [22:10] nmvictor, If you want a quicker way to run it, you can put the file somewhere useful and then create a desktop launcher and put as the command "java -jar /path/to/file.jar" [22:11] I am trying to get an M-audio pre usb working. lsusb sees it but I cannot choose it from sound properties [22:11] Flannel: thanks [22:11] travis: quite stupid question -> ifconfig wlan0 works? :P [22:11] agliodbs, maybe try changing listen to *:631 and see what happens [22:11] Halitech: yeah, tried that already [22:12] sharperguy: thanks alot,its working [22:12] e-dio-t:wlan0: error fetching interface information: Device not found [22:12] agliodbs, did you restart cups after making the change?

[22:12] Aalinux: well, you can mount the iso (sudo mount -o loop filename_here.iso /mnt) copy over the files to a directory and then zip that up [22:12] Anyone else having pidgin not work since todays update? It opens and connects fine, but the buddy window doesn't respond [22:13] e-dio-t: myron: when I search for device it comes up with rtl8101e/8102e [22:13] yes and yes [22:13] trism: I copied fil.iso in a folder.What's the command to zip with zip command?

[22:53] zebastian: I can see that; search the opera preferences for that; I don't know; there is no ubuntu setting for that kind of things, the apps use or don't use the systray [22:53] ReX0r: start it in a panel to see if why it crashes when you start it. You can edit the Exaile launcher to have it always run in a terminal if you like.

[23:19] is your sound card properly seated? [23:19] trakcyia: you can pipe in a text file (stdin) to a program and read each line, if it starts with the letter A [23:19] that's the problem [23:19] Crash1hd: what did it do? and what exactly did /you/ do :) that command assumes you're running it from the same directory where the file lives...

[23:29] what is the init.d folder? [23:29] swathanthran: join #gnewsense [23:30] crystufer: the last 7 is literally everybody full access [23:30] erUSUL: thats offtopic here. i am talking about ubuntu on #ubuntu [23:30] Can anyone help me get skype sound on my mic working?

Just really long winded. [23:32] crystufer: not really... [23:32] crystufer: i'd evaluste it properly though so you can stay secure [23:32] ActionParsnip, Thank you. 770 is not dangerous then? [23:32] if i backup a hard drive, and then restore the backup to different drive of a different size, will the drive function properly? [23:32] crystufer: depends what group has ownership [23:32] crystufer: just use 700 [23:32] thats not a homework quesiton im doing that very thing right now [23:32] crystufer: just use the file manager to change permissions if you find octal notation hard [23:32] crystufer: ls -la will tell you [23:33] FeasibilityStudy, Okay. [23:33] hello world [23:33] alokito: going back to hard drive [23:33] trakcyia: depends on how you did the backup [23:33] crystufer: its, owner, group, everyone [23:33] demon_: could u hear sound from livecd? [23:33] erUSUL, I was, but It's a big directory tree and I don't like going through it and changing all the permissions by hand. [23:33] I am done, here. I just couldn't resist it when ubottu said to install skype!! [23:33] erUSUL: I did it using clonezilla, with "clone hidden data between mbr and x" selected, and i selected to backup the entire drive [23:33] swathanthran: skype is fine and gives good functionality [23:34] wow:) [23:34] crystufer: there is a button (or radio button) in the gui to apply the permissions recursively to subdirs [23:34] !info vrms [23:34] vrms (source: vrms): virtual Richard M.

[23:34] is it bad to run a ssh key with no passphrase [23:34] trakcyia: then you should consult clonezilla docs about the issue... [23:35] swathanthran: it will tell you about non free stuff, in your install [23:35] SnakDoc: i'd say so [23:35] the query was !skype, so it's not like it was about general software [23:35] swathanthran: vrms [23:35] SnakDoc: it is. the recent apache compromise was becouse of a ssh key without passphrase that someone lost [23:35] sebsebseb: vrms - that's funky! i'm gonna give it a whirl right now. :) [23:36] ActionParsnip ok i just didn't see someone being able to get files to login. [23:36] erUSUL: or just do it :) [23:36] swathanthran nanotube of course if you have Wine installed with non free stuff, it won't mention that [23:36] greetings gentlemen [23:36] nanotube: virtual richard stallman.... why we need RMS if we have swathanthran here ? [23:36] sebsebseb: thats another ugly one. a bad-based program. no program essentially could count the non-free softwares in your system. One will have to manually check it. vrms just count the softwares that ubuntu admins put on "non-free" sections! am talking about why the shit they are having a non-free section:) [23:36] erUSUL so long as keys aren't spread out i would be fine.. would just be on my machine and server [23:36] trism: haha, well, then what did he expect ubottu to talk about when asked about !skype. :) [23:36] swathanthran: sebsebseb #ubuntu-offtopic awaits your interesting dicussion [23:36] !language | swathanthran [23:36] swathanthran: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.

[23:37] I'm interested in the configure options used for a program from Jaunty's repo (install dir, lib dir, doc dir). I'm trying to compile a newer version of the software and I would like it to be installed as similar as possible as the version from the repo. [23:37] ikonia: I wasn't really part of it, but yes swathanthran should take it over there [23:37] erUSUL ok :( i hear you thanks [23:37] am done.. thanks people for not kicking me out ;-) [23:37] swathanthran: heh [23:37] hi [23:37] !hi | a_ [23:37] a_: Hi!

I need to remove flash plugin that came preinstalled on 9.04 so I can install an older version... I can't figure how to remove it with apt-get remove... when trying to install the other version I get conflict with flashplugin-nonfree (<< 10.0.22.87ubuntu2~) so I don't know what it's refered to with apt.

[23:55] Valid sizes are 128x96, 176x144, 352x288, 704x576, and 1408x1152. Try H.263+.
