Flannelpurpzey: For software sources, theres another tab where you can discuss LTS vs every release.  Or you can edit /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades00:06
Strife89Hmm, my graphics card is giving me some weird textures. Look at the ceiling and floor in the distance in the screenshot. Does anyone know what's going on? I have an ATI Radeon graphics set in a Toshiba Satellite laptop. This happens in Armagentron Advanced, too, and in both games the framerate is poor, whereas in Windows many games run at great speeds. http://picpaste.com/Screenshot-SuperTuxKart.png00:06
purpzeyFlannel and kewl1 I just want the button to appear that will tell me a new distro is available click to upgrade so I can upgrade without losing my data.00:07
kewl1Flannel: ok..i was wrong00:07
kewl1purpzey:00:07
agliodbsI'm consistently getting some strange behaviors on my ubuntu box, and I'd like some help on where to look for issues.  (1) the network keeps resetting every 24 hours, and flipping to DHCP instead of the settings in /etc/interfaces.  (2) visudo crashes the terminal 50% of the time.00:07
Flannelpurpzey: You need to either change your preferences to tell you of all releases throgh software sources, or edit that file00:07
kewl1purpzey:  did you make you data backup?00:07
purpzeyFlannel: Where are the preferences?00:07
purpzeykewl1: My important data is backed up but I would prefer to do it without losing my applications and things of that nature.00:08

Flannelpurpzey: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IntrepidUpgrades will walk you through upgrading from 8.04 to 8.1000:08
ActionParsnipagliodbs: do you have network manager installed. It may be causing issues if you use the interfaces file, You can disable it with bum00:09

ubottuSun3vi1: 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. :-)00:09
agliodbsActionParsnip: how do I tell?00:09
kewl1purpzey: what happen when you type update-manager -d?00:09

Sun3vi1I am using a system running Hardy LTS with 256mb of RAM. When I first start it, the fan spins at full speed and runs the battery down right away, but if I put it in standby and wake it up again, the fan cycles down and runs at normal speed and increases speed only when under demand. Is there a solution?00:11
agliodbsActionParsnip: just nmbd00:11

Sun3vi1This behaviour is not normal because it never acted this way when running windows. Granted, windows had more specific drivers00:12

benediktI need a quick confirmation. update-manager crashed during an upgrade to karmic, it had replaced sources.list without making a backup anc replaced /etc/issued and /etc/lsb-release so do-release upgrade didnt want to do anything either.00:17

Biovorebenedikt: people keep telling me that.. but every time I have done it.. its worked just fine here...00:18
benediktGuest76035: if you are using a privte key with a passphrase then yes.00:19
Biovoremaybe I ma just special..00:19
Maritimafallenhope: sounds like the linux-source package in the repo is the wrong version ;)00:19
ActionParsnipbenedikt: no you must upgrade properly00:19
agliodbsActionParsnip: yeah, just not sure where to find it00:19
Guest76035I do have a private key and passphrase setup on ubuntu00:19
benediktBiovore: works fine to do it the debian way you mean?00:19
agliodbslosher: anything I should change about /etc/interfaces?00:19
Maritimafallenhope: I'd rather go grab it from www.kernel.org00:19
benediktActionParsnip: whats the difference?00:19
Biovorebenedikt: yup..  they say you shouldn't..00:19
afallenhopeso should I sudo apt-get purge linux-source?00:19
Guest76035But when I ssh to the ubuntu through my mac it logs in correctly, i then logout again. But when I ssh again, i t doesn't ask for a passphrase again.00:20
Guest76035i'm trying to get sshd ask a passphrase everytime I try to attempt a conenction to my ubuntu box00:20
Guest76035:)00:20
Maritimafallenhope: yeah, get rid of it and do it from scratch instead, with the source from kernel.org00:20

susbwoyDasEi: thanks00:50
razor_Xhi gang00:50
shawn_ozzmant None of my other OSs are 64 bit00:50
razor_Xokay i have the latest java according to my package manager why wont limewire and frostwire work for me?00:51
mezquitaleshawn_,  what does system monitor say how many gigs you have?00:51
=== j is now known as Guest3271
ozzmanntshawn: i guess your other OSs are reading the same amount of memory as u'r 64 bit ones, 3.2GB?00:51
Guest3271my you tube player wont work can someone help00:51
shawn_mezquitale For some reason it says 3.2 GB00:51
shawn_ozzmant I havnt checked actually00:51
mezquitaleshawn_, are all the memory from the same manufacturer??00:51

qq99open question: is there a way to click buttons on my mouse and have the OS report to me if it is Button1 or Button2, etc?00:52
Fohndatta: In Synaptic: Settings>Third-Party Software00:52
ozzmanntshawn: i'm thinking either you have some bad ram, or your MB does not support all the ram you tossed at it, i would try shuffling the ram around and see if that makes a diff, and also reset u'r BIOS options as a just in case00:53
mezquitaleshawn_, then I believe that could be the problem,  if you look at crucial this computer memory guide it says you can mix and match different sizes and different speeds but they have to be the same as in DDR200:53
sdcurleei can't pass this dell dcse customer service test, anyone else have that problem?00:54

Fohndatta: :/ Sorry I couldn't be of more help.00:55
mezquitaleshawn_,  I do not recommend to mix and match memory from different manufacturers, it's like mix and matching wireless nic and different routers, you never know if they'll play nice or not00:55
grom72-d00:55
ping0but i can try it in english00:55
bobertdosdatta: You may need to go into System -> Administration -> Software Sources and delete whatever extra stuff you've put in there. You might even need to edit the file directly. I think you have a bad line in there.00:55
gOLDfeeshwell.. haven't tried it yet00:55

ozzmanntmezquitale: i have to disagree with that, you can mix and match just fine as long as you don't try to use dual channel with diff speeds or quality of ram00:56
bobertdosping0: Well, not a list perse, but here's one possibility:00:56
losherping0: yes. dpkg --get-selections > package.selections to save. dpkg --set-selections < package.selections; apt-get dselect-upgrade to restore....00:56

ozzmanntshawn_, not quite used to the IRC client i'm using yet, just kinda jumped in00:59
shawn_ozzmant Haha no problem... Ill be right back though in a minute... I still need to figure out this problem.00:59
ozzmanntmezquitale, optimally....no, but if he is just going for lots of RAM that will work just fine, it will just take the slowest speed of all the RAM, so if the slowest is 667 then ALL sticks will run at that00:59
losherping0: also, you can copy the contents of /var/cache/apt/archives from one computer to another to avoid re-downloading packages from the network again...00:59
dattaboberdos: no i just checked it right now, theres only wine, ubuntu one and google01:00

sunshinepantsVilasBoas: I was building alsa using something called 'alsa upgrade script' when I ran jaunty.  I recall having problems, but instead of finding out what it actually was I just blanketed the problem..01:06
gOLDfeeshMaritim, is there a reason as to why DEPMOD says 2.6.28.10??01:07
shawn_Okay Im back01:07
VilasBoassunshinepants: how???01:07
sunshinepantsVilasBoas: the alsa upgrade script fixed my problem01:07
sunshinepantsVilasBoas: it's on ubuntuforums.org, you must be registered to grab it01:07
shawn_mezquitale I just got back I missed anything you said a fewminutes ago01:07
mezquitaleozzloy, DasEi so it looks like it's a known BIOS issue then01:07
VilasBoassunshinepants: do you have that script?01:07
sunshinepantsVilasBoas: negative01:07
myownserverlosher: I have no clue.  It's a permissions issue of some sort.01:08
mezquitaleshawn_,  it looks like it's a BIOS issue, have you tried updating your BIOS?01:08
VilasBoassunshinepants: ok thanks01:08
shawn_mezquitale Not even sure how to do that01:08
myownserverI did that to keep from having a problem with directly accessing the files on the PC I'm uploading them to.01:08
ozzmanntshawn_, found your issue, your MB supports 8gb of ram at 667mhz or below01:08
sunshinepantssweet01:08
myownserverInstead of having to use root commands to modify it, I wanted to directly access it.01:08
shawn_ozzmant Hmmm so I need to find a way to exchange this 800 for 667?01:09
DasEimezquitale: ozzloy : that , or the hint from the manual, or non suitable rams wrong bios setting, last a defective stripe01:09
ozzmanntshawn_, http://paste.ubuntu.com/277503/01:09
MaritimgOLDfeesh: the only probable reason would be that the version is in fact 2.6.28.1001:10
ozzmanntshawn_, appears that way, intel boards are sooooo wacky, in fact i have 2 boards that i can't get over 4gb of ram to work in it :(01:10
gOLDfeeshMaritim, how would I remove it then?01:10
shawn_ozzmant I totally understand that... I didnt know that before but I understand now but that doesnt explain why 4GB arent showing up now when all I have is two 800 DIMMs in nothing else... They should equal 4 GB01:10

I'm running the 32 bit version of Ubuntu, but my Toshiba Satellite has a 64 bit AMD CPU.01:11
MaritimgOLDfeesh: you say you are running 2.6.28-15-geneirc, stop compiling the wrong version and uninstall the module that's been compiled from the wrong kernel version01:11
BCM43maver: reboot?01:11
IdleOnemaver: if you are running ubuntu it is most likely grub. grub is default for ubuntu01:11

gOLDfeeshMaritim, I don't know how I'd do that though..01:12

maverBCM43, I know I'm using Grub, I just was curious to know if there's a command which shows it01:12

shawn_ozzmant Im not really sure how to do this xD01:17
ToStItOsDoes anyone know how to do Internet connection sharing with XP and Ubuntu?01:17
kermitwith all this sudoing, any app can just alias sudo and gain root next time someone uses it.. why doesnt ubuntu consider that a huge security hole?01:17
ozzmanntshawn_, on the bad news side of things, the intel 965 is the same chipset that i couldn't get >4gb to work so this may not work, but a BIOS update is always good01:18
shane2peruI have a package idea for Ubuntu and wonder where to start?  Who to get in touch with.01:18
Bertokermit, jumping in late but i think sudo only works in that terminal instance01:18
DasEirocky|: using gparted is clear ?01:18
shawn_ozzmant I cant even get 4GB to work so I find that wierd01:18
rocky|dasei, gparted reports bad sectors01:18

ToStItOsDo i need a crossover cable to do a internet connection between Windows Xp and Ubuntu01:19
ozzmanntshawn_, u've never seen > 3.2gb in any OS you have run tho right?01:19
rocky|I am have a sneaking feeling that I can fix it through software01:19
shane2peructmjr: ahh, thank you!!! I will check that out01:19
kermitBerto,maritim: i dont follow, what terminal instance?01:20
craigbass1976ToStItOs, that's only for hookingone computer up directly from nic to nic01:20
* rocky| doesn't have good english tonight XD01:20
DasEirocky|: did you ran an non destructive check on the hd ? question about gparted concerned external01:20
shawn_ozzmant Before I bought these new sticks I only had 2GB of RAM in it so no I guess I havnt01:20
ctmjrshane2peru: your welcome01:20
DasEirocky|: native language ?01:20
rocky|english XD01:20
DasEiheh01:20
ToStItOscraigbass1976 what I want to do is share the connection and files and printer01:20
ozzmanntshawn_, updating the BIOS is going to be a shot in the dark but it's simple at least; download the .iso file to your ubuntu machine and double click on it to burn it to a cd, then restart u'r computer booting from that CD01:20
rocky|yes, I did.  I tried Western Digital data life (or something like that), chkdsk /f/r, and a *little* of spinrite01:21
Maritimkermit: if you open up a terminal and write sudo cfdisk, you will be prompted for a password. If you then in that same terminal window proceed to write sudo aptitude install linux-kernel, it will not prompt you for your password. If you close this terminal window and open up another one, you will have to enter yuor password again if you want to sudo something01:21
ToStItOsWith the crossover could that be done?01:21
craigbass1976ToStItOs, you'll need a router, or at least a switch; either that or have two nics in one of the machines01:21
DasEirocky|: or a sudo e2fsck -p from a live cd on the not-mounted drive01:21
Maritimkermit: sudo only works without asking for a password for a limited amount of time in the terminal you used it in in the first place. To sum it all up: the security hole you are worried about isn't a problem, cus it can't be taken advantage of01:21
shawn_ozzmant and if this doesnt work then I seriously need to buy a new motherboard to have over 3.2GB? X_X  If the manual says it supports 8GB why wouldnt it X_X01:22
dergringoHow do I enable SSL on a samba server?01:22
ToStItOscraigbass1976: 2 NICS?01:22
rocky|Dasei: well, I'm running ubuntu 9.04 x64 desktop edition right now, so I'll go ahead and do that :)01:22
craigbass1976ToStItOs, ethernet cards01:23
ozzmanntshawn_, curse at intel for that, same problem i had with the 96501:23
kermitMaritim: i didnt realize it even didnt prompt for a password, so my statement wasnt based on that feature at all01:23
shawn_ozzmant How much is a new motherboard?01:23
ToStItOscraigbass1976: I have a NIC on each machine but I have dial up so a router is going to be out of the question but you mentioned a switch01:23
rocky|DasEi: I am having trouble with that command... but really the first thing on my mind is making a complete backup01:24
Maritimkarmit: it prompts you for a password the first time, then you can sudo around all you want, but only in the terminal you sudo'ed in in the first place ;) if you open another terminal session you'll have to enter your password in that one aswell01:24
DasEirocky|: so I'll see you back then, or we can backup first, so .. ?01:24
DasEiright.. gparted then01:24
craigbass1976ToStItOs, Ahh, then you're all set.  Yes, a crossover will do it.  If you've got crimps and an ethernet end, you can make one.01:24
shawn_ozzmant Going to update bios hopefully this works wish me luck01:24
ToStItOscraigbass1976: Can I buy them or01:25
rocky|DasEi: the problem is that gparted won't touch it  because of the bad sectors... thats why I'm using ntfs clone01:25
rocky|I'm just going to go to their channel01:25
ozzmanntshawn_, i wouldn't even consider it unless you really need that extra RAM to be honest01:25
shawn_ozzmant Well I just spent 100 bucks on this DDR2 RAM so I could have 6 Gigs and now I cant even get 4 X_X01:25
DasEirocky|: gparted is now used to create a partition on your external01:25
kermitMaritim: i didnt realize it ever didnt prompt for a password, so my original statement wasnt based on that feature at all01:26
craigbass1976ToStItOs, yes, you can buy them.  I think all you do is switch the blue and orange though if you use a regular cable, but can't remember if it's the solid or striped blue and orange...01:26
DasEirocky|: I assume the external is big enough to house your internal, you launch gparted01:27
ozzmanntshawn_, http://www.memtest.org/#downiso i would also download that to make sure it isn't an ubuntu problem for sure01:27
rocky|yes, the internal is 640 GB, external is 1 TB01:27
=== _Cyrano_ is now known as Cyrano_De
DasEifine01:27
ToStItOscraigbass1976: I'll ask around so with the cable on one end to the XP computer and then the other to Ubuntu will I be able to share the printer01:27
shawn_ozzmant Or could I just run the memtest off my Ubuntu live CD01:27
rocky|DasEi, I'm just a little iffy..... does parted magic work sector by sector?01:28
craigbass1976ToStItOs, yes, you'll have to set up SAMBA, unless windows is doing the sharing.  I can give you a "wide open" samba config file if you want01:28
DasEirocky|:in gparted choose this 1 TB and make it a 650 GB in front01:28
ShapeShifter499hi01:28
ozzmanntshawn_, if the problem exists in ubuntu that would produce the same results as just booting the OS :P01:29

rocky_I just shrank that partition01:45
Manuzbuonasera01:45
DasEirocky|: that was really more then luck, but apart on you freeing the needed space, we're done then, if you executed last cmd you would have a hardcopy on /dev/sdb101:47
rocky|DasEi: But in GParted, the partition with data is still marked as /dev/sdb1!!!!!!!01:47

FohnI bought a new monitor, and I configured my xorg.conf file to have the proper resolution and refresh rates, and the gdm login screen and other users all have the proper resolution by default. However, whenever I login to my screen, the resolution is reverted to my monitor's old resolution, and I have to manually change it using Catalyst Control Center. How can I make these changes persistent?02:29
DarkebrzLast time I am asking02:29
DarkebrzHi, I am using this http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-19428.html to make an Ubuntu boot cd, but I don't know what to copy from /boot02:29
BCM43Is there a channel for 9.10?02:29
Cyrano_Dewongon: You might try #redhat or #centos.  Ubuntu uses apt-get02:29
timClicksFohn: did my previous advice help at all?02:29
Cyrano_De!ym | wongon02:29
Sylphid|netbookBCM43, ubuntu+102:29
ubottuSorry, I don't know anything about ym02:29
Cyrano_De!apt-get | wongon02:29
ubottuwongon: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome), !Adept (KDE) or !KPackageKit (KDE)02:29
rocky_Darkebrz, do you mean a live cd?02:30
tony7can someone give me the command to make the file permissions on "text.txt" for the owner read and write and for the group read only02:30
DarkebrzI do not know, the tutorial specifies it can be used if you mess up grub, and I intend to mess with it02:30
FohntimClicks: I already know how to use the display adapter. Since I am using the proprietary driver, your advice leads me to Catalyst Control Center, which, as I mentioned originally, sets the resolution at the proper setting but does not remain persistent.02:30
Cyrano_DeDarkebrz: What is in your /boot folder02:30
Fohndisplay manager*02:30
Darkebrzgrub, initrd.img-2.6.28-11-generic, another file with similar name, and other files that end with generi02:31
Darkebrz*generic02:31
LogomachistProblem two: I used the dd command to back up a drive image. As I understood it, I would be able to restore the drive image with the command "cat x* | dd of=/dev/sda3" but when I try it I get a permission denied error. However something I just read claimed that if sda3 doesn't exist, dd will start at the beginning of the disk, and create it. Start at the beginning of the disk? That would overwrite my existing Vista partition! I want it02:32
Cyrano_Detony7: chmod 640 text.txt02:32
rocky_crap... I accidentally booted back into windows instead of ubuntu live cd three times in a row now.... have to pay attention at the bios!02:33
geniiLogomachist: The reason that command fails is that all to right of pipe (the | ) would require also a sudo02:33
JessDgenii : Can't tell you how many times sudo and pipe has bitten me that way02:33
JessDgenii : Never thought of putting it on both sides..02:34

Cyrano_Dethat initrd.img file is the file to copy for step 502:34
Darkebrz28-11 and 28-1502:34
Cyrano_DeDarkebrz: do a uname -a  That should show you the version number you need.02:35
geniiJessD: The most common one i see is like: cat something > /some/path/requiring/priveleged/access/filename02:35
Darkebrzthanks02:35
rocky_wtf.... something is wrong here.  My computer seems to be refusing to boot into a live cd........02:35

Major_Quackscd followed by your case-sensitive directory02:43

DarkebrzWait02:48
DarkebrzNot root device02:48
geniiLogomachist: Did you already do some dd command which was supposed to back up a partition? If so what was it... if not, perhaps if we know the layout of your hd a suitable one can be suggested02:48

DarkebrzWell, I believe my root is /dev/hda2/02:50
ah2anyone here know pinguino?02:50
Cyrano_DeDarkebrz: My /etc/fstab file tells me / was /dev/sda5 during installation.02:50
bastidrazorDarkebrz: sudo blkid will give you UUID's along with /dev/hdX so you can know which is which.02:51
Cyrano_DeDarkebrz: The UUID for / in /etc/fstab matches the root=UUID= line in menu.lst02:51
DarkebrzDid sudo blkid, it lists /dev/loop0 /dev/sda1/ and /dev/sda2/ then some incomprehensible garble.02:52
DarkebrzI can't believe I am doing all this just because my power cable got pulled out.02:52
Cyrano_DeDarkebrz: The incomprehensible garble is the UUIDs for the partitions02:52
DarkebrzOkay, that doesn't really help Cyrano_De, what do the mean? I just need to know which one is root, which I think is /sda2/02:53
geniiThe "incomprehensible garble" might be something like... your UUID ....02:53

RaviResckwhere do i see if my pc is x64 or x32 on ubuntu?02:55
Cyrano_DeRaviResck: uname -a02:56

jkoby?02:56
RaviResckCyrano_De bastidrazor i686 means x64 right?02:56
rocky_no it doesn't, RaviResck02:57

RaviResckThanks!02:57
ZoeyMarieCan anyone tell me why I  can't change the sample rate in JACK to 44100? It perpetually stays at 16000...02:57
bastidrazorRaviResck: X86_64 means 64bit02:57
Cyrano_DeRaviResck: x86_64 is 6402:57
RaviResckok02:57
rocky_really its x86 with 64 bit extensions02:57
rocky_:/02:57
RaviResckIf i want to download a Debian i should take the i386 version?02:58
rocky_do you have an x64 processor?02:58
Cyrano_Derocky_: The chip may be, but the Linux Kernel is either 32bit or 64.02:58
Cyrano_DeRaviResck: That is more dependant on your CPU.02:58
geniirocky_: Hopefully your current sdb2 is larger than your old sda102:58
rocky_yes, it is02:58
rocky_it is 20 GB larger02:58
RaviRescki really dont know. My uname -m returned i 68602:58
RaviResckyes, its larger then 20 gb02:59
geniirocky_: Good :)02:59
rocky_lol, RaviResck.  I will limit my response to one line when I can ;)02:59
jkobyok, this is driving me insane.02:59
bastidrazorRaviResck: then you installed the 32bit ubuntu. stick with 32bit if you are somewhat new to linux.02:59
DarkebrzCyrano_De, Now this makes no sense. It wants me to modify isolinux.cfg in bootcd, but I never copied or created those files ._.02:59
Cyrano_DeRaviResck: cat /proc/cpuinfo should tell you the CPU info.  Look for 64 in there.02:59
jkobyi've got an HP mini 1035 running Jaunty, and I can't get the sound to work.02:59
rocky_genii, I'm wondering how long it would take to transfer 640 GB of data over USB 2.003:00

rocky_I'll go do the math03:01
Cyrano_DeDarkebrz: In step 3 it says to copy /usr/lbi/syslinux/isolinux.bin to your working directory bootcd03:01
Cyrano_DeDarkebrz: Did you do that?03:01
bastidrazorRaviResck:no, look up the model name and that will tell you.03:01
DarkebrzCyrano_De, yes, but it said nothing about a .cfg ._.03:01
ZoeyMarieCan anyone tell me why I  can't change the sample rate in JACK to 44100? It perpetually stays at 16000...03:02
rocky_huh, linux became the first OS to support USB 3.0 :D03:02
RaviResckbastidrazor r u sure? model name: Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 2.50GHz03:02
DarkebrzAnd I can't find a .cfg in the same folder03:02
monokromeI just did a dist-upgrade and ubuntu-minimal and sysklogd couldn't be upgraded. This seems odd to me... Can anyone help?03:02
techieam i able to get XV output from the FGLRX driver in mplayer?03:02
Cyrano_DeDarkebrz: Your correct.  There is not isolinux.cfg file in /usr/lib/syslinux?03:02
bastidrazorRaviResck: if you google the model name that will tell you if it supports 64bit or not.03:02
Logomachistgenii: Yes, I saved the drive image earlier with something like "dd if=/dev/hda | split -b=650m".  As for my hdd, I have a Vista partition at the start of the drive (sda1), then my Ubuntu parition (sda5). At the end of the drive I have the Linux swap space (sda6) and a FAT32 partition (sda7). In between the 2 pairs of partitions I have unallocated space.03:02

ZeuZAnyone owning a macbook? How do you get the pipe ( | ) when the keybinding is broken? I mean, ALt-GR+1 won't get it, though it will on Mac OS X.03:24
ZeuZThe keymap has been set to correct one.03:24
intruder_what is the impact on performance if im using the ubuntu usb-creator compared to actually installing it on a usb key ?03:25
ZeuZApple (intl) and has been applied system wide.03:25
techiehelp, my application windows are opening with the title bars behind the top panel03:25
mezquitaleZeuZ, do apples have 2 ALT keys as dell laptops??03:25
Cyrano_Detechie: hold the alt key then click and drag03:25
ZeuZmezquitale, yes, but it's more of an ALT LEFT, ALT RIGHT.03:26
ZeuZI refer to it as Alt-GR because of costume.03:26
techieCyrano_De, is there any way to stop this from happening as they will keep doing if the issue isnt fixed03:26
mezquitaleZeuZ, is it working with the ALT LEFT?03:26

m3onh0x84I use Ubuntu 9.04 always upgrade03:31
mezquitaleshawn_, told ya it was the BIOS, after someone else posted the results from dmesg, it looked like it was a BIOS issue03:31
FlannelRoasted: Yes: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation#Installing%20on%20external%20or%20RAID%20hard%20disks03:31

shawn_mezquitale Well Im really happy I got it sorted out I just wanted to thank you for your time could you pass that onto DasEi and ozzmannt if they are around :)03:32
RoastedCyrano_De - that's not what I want. That makes the flash drive act as a LiveCD. I want to know if I can actually put a real live Ubuntu install, an actual working copy like you would on a regular computer, except boot it from the flash drive.03:32

geniiLogomachist: If it made a series of files, you can do like: sudo -i        to temporarily gain root. Then cd to the dir which holds the series of files. Then something like: cat xaa xab xac xad >/dev/sdX#             then after: exit   Important to name all the files and in exact order03:46

Strife89Cyrano_De: I will follow suit and stick with the safe side. I can wait a month.04:20
fotoflocan anyone answer this quick question? IS there a tool out there that works like yousendit that i can run on my own server?04:20
Tactical_Chickenuse synaptic package manager04:20
user01soreau, using the add/remove from applications04:20
soreauuser01: Does 'which gdesklets' show any output?04:20
CITguy-ArtemisStrife89: What wireless card are you using?04:20
shawn_Cyrano_De I mean are there any big changes planned?04:20
Strife89CITguy-Artemis: Er....04:20
Strife89CITguy-Artemis: 04:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01)04:21
Cyrano_Deshawn_: Faster booting, newer kernel, new versions of gnome and that other desktop.04:21
cellofellowshawn_: not much different from 9.04, except a new (though still orange) theme and a new App Store to replace Add/Remove Applications. That's the thing with 6mo releases, they are incremental.04:21

Strife89cellofellow: Oh, Lord. App Store?04:21
CITguy-ArtemisStrife89: and it wouldn't work in 8.10?04:21
Strife89CITguy-Artemis: Nope.04:22
shawn_cellofellow.... App...... Store..... As in pay?04:22
CITguy-ArtemisStrife89: how old is your PC?04:22
soreauuser01: That's weird04:22
Strife89CITguy-Artemis: Unless I missed something.04:22
cellofellowStrife89: hadn't heard of the new Ubuntu App Store?04:22
Strife89CITguy-Artemis: About 8-9 months.04:22
Tactical_Chickeni have similar probs... i have to run a bunch of sudo commands everytime i boot up04:22
Strife89cellofellow: Nope.04:22
Cyrano_DeStrife89: I will not use anything but Intel wireless cards for the foreseeable future myself.04:22
soreauuser01: Actually, do you have python 2.5 installed? python --version04:22
cellofellowshawn_: as far as I know no, but I'd actually welcome it. Donate to upstream devs on open source projects, and pay for commercial Linux apps.04:22
Strife89Cyrano_De: This is a laptop, so neither will I. :P04:22
Cyrano_DeStrife89: The last Dell wireless card I got shafted with was based on an Atheros chip and it was never stable.04:23
user01soreau, 2.6.204:23
lucas__maybe thats my problem04:23
Strife89Cyrano_De: This is a Toshiba machine.04:23
lucas__sort of wish i bought a mac04:23
durtshawn_, no, not at all, that would be against the GPL and oss.04:23
Guest17539my flash player keeps freezing help04:23
user01soreau, could it be the fact that I use ubuntu in 64 bit?04:23
soreauuser01: That's the problem. It's looking for python 2.5 but you have 2.6 installed.04:23
shawn_Cellofellow I donated 50 dollars to Ubuntu two weeks ago04:23
shawn_Cellofellow do I do donate04:23
Tactical_Chickeni got the touchscreen to work and the fingerprint reader on my tabpc04:24
shawn_Cellowfellow so*04:24
user01soreau, ohh ok, any idea on how to fix it?04:24
soreauuser01: Can you run any other python app like 'ccsm' for example?04:24
Tactical_Chickenwhat a chore that was researching04:24
cellofellowStrife89: what it is is that Apple's iPhone App Store took the basic concepts of a Linux repository and then made it slick so now the Ubuntu guys what to slicken a Linux repository to immitate Apple.04:24
Cyrano_Deshawn_: I'd expect it to be more like the android app store.  Many free, many pay, some donate....04:24
cellofellowshawn_: that's fine04:24
user01soreau, yes, it runs04:24
Strife89cellofellow: Ah.04:24
SakaraLooking for a way to have multiple ubuntu machines authenticate logins against one machine? Any suggestions?04:24
soreauuser01: Then I'd say it's a bug with gdesklets. You need a version of it that is for python 2.604:24
shawn_So is there a Flash player for 64?04:25
user01soreau, hmmm04:25
histoshawn_: yes04:25

Tactical_Chickenshawn... i am using ubuntu 64 and it installed04:25
Tactical_Chickener...i was using it i mean04:26
Sakaramezquitale, seems silly to use a linux backend windows protocol with linux clients04:26
CITguy-ArtemisStrife89: It's worth a try. If it doesn't work, you'll just be back where you started.04:26
Sakarais there a nice way to do it natively04:26
Strife89Cyrano_De, CITguy-Artemis: This machine has a 64-bit CPU. Aside from the ability to use 4+ GB of RAM, are there any advantages to using the 64-bit version of Ubuntu? Any notable downsides?04:26
CITguy-ArtemisStrife89: don't use it04:26
Tactical_Chickenya...you can't run nero04:26
anto9usSakara, network authentication links here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Servers04:26
Tactical_Chickenlol04:26
mezquitaleSakara, LDAP would be a better choice04:26
Strife89CITguy-Artemis: Not very stable?04:26
CITguy-ArtemisStrife89: the problem with 64-bit isn't the OS, but the lack of 64-bit applications04:27
matt-Strife89: it fixes the 2038 problem04:27
Strife89CITguy-Artemis: Ah.04:27
Strife89matt-: Sorry, but the what?04:27
user01soreau, thanks04:27
soreauuser01: no problem04:27
matt-http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2038_problem04:27
SlinkeeyHello,04:28
cellofellowCITguy-Artemis: not so much in Linux. Since most Linux code is open source 64bit compatibility is just a recompile away. It's just closed source stuff like Flash that is harder to get on 64bit.04:28
Guest17539my flash player keeps freezing help04:28
SlinkeeyI have ubuntu 9.04 and at times my keyboard seams to go a little wacky when using it.. I will type and in some apps (not this one) the cursor will jump up to another location......04:28
CITguy-Artemiscellofellow: yeah, I realize that but I'd rather have a .deb or something that takes the hassle out of it04:29
Strife89matt-: Ah.04:29
Cyrano_DeStrife89: If you want to run some VMware appliances.  Some of them are 64bit only.  Otherwise if you do not really use that 4GB of ram or can not install more there is no reason to run 64bit and several reasons not to.04:29
Strife89matt-: Makes sense.04:29
neil_dI have postfix setup :)  but something strange is happening :(  it seems that mail sent to root is ending up in /var/mail/nobody I expected it to be in /var/mail/neil is there something wrong with the setup?04:29
CITguy-Artemiscellofellow: do you know of any performance advantages to 64-bit?04:29
Strife89Cyrano_De: Note taken.04:29
mezquitalewhat is the technical term when you use a server  as a repository of user logins and their passwords?04:29
cellofellowCITguy-Artemis: Ubuntu has 64bit repositories for a reason. Chock full of 64bit-compatible binary debs.04:29
cellofellowCITguy-Artemis: as far as I know just greater memory usage than 4GB.04:30
metajemohello guys, I am having really hard time running adobe flash player. the package is already installed (and reinstalled a few times), the website still will not run the movie and will tell me i need to download the player. Any suggestions, please?04:30
* Strife89 's laptop came with 4 GB of RAM installed.04:30
CITguy-Artemiscellofellow: so there's no noticeable difference if I'm running with 2GB of ram?04:30
soreau! flash | metajemo04:30
ubottumetajemo: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also  !Restricted and !Gnash04:30
Slinkeey's keyboard does not like ubuntu....04:30
soreauMetaBot: You probably just need to install flashplugin-nonfree and restart your browser04:31
soreaumetajemo:  You probably just need to install flashplugin-nonfree and restart your browser04:31
anto9usmezquitale, I'd call it an authentication server04:31
soreauDamn this channel04:31
cellofellowmezquitale: a directory server maybe? I think there are ways to do it besides directories though.04:31
cellofellowCITguy-Artemis: most likely no.04:31
Lucas156yeah04:31
cellofellowCITguy-Artemis: but if you had 8GB then 32bit cannot address >4GB of RAM, just how the memory addressing works. 32bits can address 4 billion unique addresses.04:31

shawn_What does ubottu mean by will break?04:32
cellofellowCITguy-Artemis: 64bit on the other hand gets you up into I think the petabytes, perhaps the exabytes.04:32
CITguy-Artemiscellofellow: I see. thx04:32
Slinkeeyls there a preffered channel for help with ubuntu?04:32
Strife89shawn_: It means Karmic is not very stable yet.04:32
Cyrano_Decellofellow: technically it can address more than 4GB but you have to install a PAE capable kenrnel from ubuntu server in order to address it.04:32
SlinkeeyI am guessing that this is more general ubuntu talk04:32
Strife89CITguy-Artemis: I was reading. :)04:32

kitty_is there a way to "disable" the visibility of a network on a computer but still use it for an iptables software router?04:33
cellofellowCITguy-Artemis: at this point most OEMs don't sell PCs with more than 4GB of RAM because Windows 32 bit can't address more than that and Windows ISVs aren't shipping enough 64bit code so no one is switching to 64bit. Vicious cycle.04:34
durtmezquitale, same, just using samba, but it would still be for windows clients.04:34
cellofellowWith both Vista and Windows 7 Microsoft promised they'd be 64bit only. They reniged on that.04:34
anto9usmezquitale, for compatibility at OS level samba might be a good choice04:34
CITguy-ArtemisCyrano_De: I'm getting a bunch of the same error in the syslog: "FAT: Directory bread(block ....) failed"04:35
Cyrano_DeCITguy-Artemis: The only reason I am running 64bit is to support the Vmware environment @ work.  The vmware vMA appliance for vSphere 4 is 64bit only.04:35

gilboman007you guys rock04:38
cellofellow(is there still a channel for ubuntu on apple hardware or did that die with the ppc port?)04:38
nanotubebasix: you might do better by just asking the specific questions you have...04:38
IcemanV9metajemo: in the address bar, type about:plugins & check if flash is installed04:38
cellofellowjuand: maybe it's named something else04:38
SlinkeeyWell for instance I will type in mozilla (form, email... etc..) and I will end up typing at the top of the page when I was half way down the page04:38
excalibaszenlunatic, Woo, that was easy :) thanks a lot!04:38
SlinkeeyThe curser wil cut into the middle of my email and start typing...04:38

anto9usjuand, add universe repository04:39

cellofellowjuand: ok...04:40
gilboman007ok no stupid question does yum updates still work or no04:40
nanotubejuand: php5-xcache is in the universe repository. enable universe, refresh, try again04:40

nanotubebasix: ah... in that case... good luck. :) if nobody here has any direct experience, try googling around...04:41
gilboman007just made the switch to kubuntu still learning04:41
cellofellowValentineX: first, don't. Find a deb or a source package before installing a bin.04:41
cellofellowmetajemo: swfdec is actually based on gstreamer, while adobe flash is the official flash player.04:41
Cyrano_De!apt | gilboman00704:41

nanotubeanto9us: juand: yea, showing here on 8.10 under universe, too...04:41
Slinkeeynot in this pidgin04:41
IcemanV9metajemo: abode flash uses libflashplayer.so 10.0 r3204:41
basixnanotube, i looked at the wiki and it definitely looks promising but it seems a lot of people have had issues with alsa and sound on the notebook. they had to install stuff from the latest alsa snapshots which kinda discourages me...04:42

Tactical_Chickenya....i'd try that04:42
metajemoIcemanV9:right, what folder should i get this file into ?04:43
nanotubeSlinkeey: well, try disabling it and see if cursor still 'bounces'... if not, you know the source of the problem.04:43

=== Cyrano_De is now known as Cyrano_Zz
ValentineXcellofellow: i also wanted .deb but failed to get that unable to get from googling04:43
gilboman007one last question am i still getting rpm or somthing else04:43
cellofellowMTec007: flashplayer-nonfree is the package that "installs" adobe flash. It does not actually include the flash player itself, though, but instead downloads it and installs in the debconf.04:43
nanotubegilboman007: apt uses .deb packages, not .rpm04:44
cellofellowMTec007: oops04:44
gilboman007thats why flash dosnt work04:44
cellofellowmetajemo: that above was for you04:44
gilboman007i will get there one day guys i promise04:44
cellofellowgilboman007: if you must install rpm you use alien, but that's not recommended.04:44
SlinkeeyOk.. I think it is the touchpad04:44
cellofellowValentineX: what is it that you are installing again?04:44
SlinkeeyI just turned it off while typing04:44
nanotubegilboman007: to install flash, just install from the repositories package "flashplayer-nonfree"04:44
Slinkeeyand it typed a paragraph in gmail04:44
ValentineXcellofellow: java wireless development toolkit04:45
metajemocellofellow: got it04:45
cellofellowSlinkeey: that's supposed to be a "feature" that keeps you from moving the cursor while typing. It's in the synaptics driver.04:45
cellofellowbrb04:45
IcemanV9metajemo: is this package, mozilla-plugin-gnash, installed? if so, remove it. adobe flash should be working.04:45

krdytim on jaunty right now05:13
krdyti dont care about the jaunty, i want intrepid. all files are there for all 2 OS05:14
anto9usTvmbledown, maybe compile it from source, install to flash, make sure it has dependencies on target system or in your target folder, or see http://portableapps.com/apps05:14
TvmbledownI'm a little behind the learning curve on dependencies, honestly...05:15
Tactical_Chickenya.... i made that mistake b4....i just used a live cd and grabbed all my files off and then reinstalled linux05:15
stick_figureblech, I give up, I just added the karmic line to sources.list and now I can install automake1.11.  Unfortunately it depends on upgrading a bazillion things.05:15

ZykoticK9lstarnes, webbb82 OH ya - in Ubuntu the FIRST thing you need to do is install VIM - arrow keys are very ugly with the default!05:53
thebluei've got an hp mini 1035nr, and i'm running UNR Jaunty, and i'm not getting any audio at all.  what should i do?05:54
webbb82ZykoticK9,  vim is the whole name?05:54
lstarneswebbb82: yes05:54
lstarneswebbb82: it's short for vi improved, but is almost always called vim05:54
webbb82cool thanks05:55
Jordan_Umack: You generally shouldn't install this type of file, instead you should install with apt-get of fing a .deb file. If you want to try installing that file, which will break things since wpa_supplicant is alreadu installed, you would have to use the terminal05:55
krdytwhere is the ubuntu help chan?05:55
lstarneskrdyt: this is it05:55
krdytoh05:55
loshermack: you would uncompress and untar it, then compile it and install it. A lot of work for a complete beginner and probably the wrong thing to do...05:55
ZykoticK9webbb82, do NOT install vim!  It's not mean for 'normal' human beings to use.  it's a very old vashioned editor, you wont like it at all!  but the vi/emacs rivalry in the 'nix world have been going on forever - now there are lots of choices for text editing :)  enjoy linux05:56

SakaraJordan_U: Can grub2 be installed onto a system that is unbootable?05:57
lstarneskrdyt: sda3 is probably (hd0,2)05:58
Jordan_Umack: Something like "sudo apt-get install build-essential && sudo apt-get build-dep wpasupplicant" then "tar -xf filename.tar" then "cd < directory that was just created >" then "./configure && make && sudo make-install"05:58
mackJordan, Losher- I got it, bad idea.05:58
Jordan_USakara: Yes05:58
loshermack: and the wrong solution for your problem. What is the device you're trying to get working?05:59
ZykoticK9krdyt, if jaunty is really sda1-5 - that means sda1 sda2 sda3 sda3 sda4 sda5, why does it take up 5 paritions when it usuually only takes 1?05:59
thebluewebbb82, by the way, i'd recommend installing vimtutor as well.05:59

ZykoticK9krdyt, jaunty is technically on sda1 and a linux swap is on sda506:01
SakaraJordan_U: I simply mount the drive from a live session chroot and apt-get grub2?06:01

krdytok so to add that to my grub list what would i do for it to boot xp?06:02
krdytno it screwed everything up06:02
Jordan_USakara: You First have to bind mount /proc /sys and /dev, so if your Ubuntu partition is mounted to /media/disk that would be "sudo mount -o bind /proc /media/disk/proc && sudo mount /dev /media/disk/dev && sudo mount /sys /media/disk/sys"06:03
losherkrdyt: which version of Ubuntu did you install?06:03

Jordan_UMasterofPuppets: That only makes sense if you changed the sources.list manually to karmic, which you shouldn't do07:00
MasterofPuppetsJordan_U: I was playing around a bit with that, so I'm probably at fault07:01

sujithe torrent is not downloading07:07

fallenpoetsuji - did you check that the torrent isn't dead? or that your router isn't blocking it's port?07:08
sujifallenpoet: how to check that?07:09
jacquesdupontdhi07:09
brummbaerhey mrgenericuser, do you know offhand how to check system workgroup? i've just been setting the workgroup through smb.conf, just realized that probably doesn't affect cupsd07:09
jacquesdupontdi dont know why but my menu bar has disapeared07:09
fallenpoetsuji - the port or if it's dead?07:10
jacquesdupontdand i think its since i installed emerald but not sure07:10
jacquesdupontdwhere do we set to have a menu bar or not07:10

optimus_twhat is the command to get the list of synaptic packages?07:11
sujifallenpoet: my listening port is 51413 and it said port is closed07:11
Jordan_USakara: Try upgrading to grub2 again, it might at least give a more helpfull error message407:11
Jordan_U!clone | optimus_t07:11
ubottuoptimus_t: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude  --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate07:11
fallenpoetsuji - then you'll need to open that port on your rounter07:12
Jordan_Uoptimus_t: Is that what you wanted?07:12

optimus_tJordan_U: Just get an list of packages which are not yet installed on my machine07:14
mrgenericuseri think that would be fine, but i found this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=268245  looks like default cupsd.conf only listens to local machine.  does that help?07:14
sujifallenpoet: i dn't know about that, it is office system. i dn't have my own system.07:14
sujifallenpoet:  here how to know?07:14
addisonjlooking for support for a verizon wireless mobile broadband card, anyone gotten those to work?07:16
=== andi is now known as shinta
loshersuji: sorry, but most companies don't want you downloading torrents on to office computers, and deliberately block ports so you can't do it...07:17
Jordan_USakara: Looks like that error is sometimes caused by a buggy bios. A bios update might solve it07:18
sujilosher: oh! okey.07:18

IledenHi! I'm experiencing some weirdness - I have an SD card mounted, and when I disconnect the card without unmounting (for testing purposes), the directory structure is still available, and I can even read contents of a text file! The mount does become read only... is this a feature of LVM (which I'm using on the card)? Should it do this?08:09
ricewIleden-> how was it mounted?  type mount08:10
Iledenricew: /dev/mapper/vg-lv0 on /media/t type ext4 (rw,commit=600)08:10

booleancatIf I manually chroot into each directory, I can execute the commands, but I can't get a script to do it for me. Any ideas?09:12
trakcyiahave the script chroot into each directory and use the pwd for the commands?09:12
trakcyiabasically, make the script do what you do lol09:13
booleancatWell, I'm trying the following: "chroot /path/to/exported/root apt-get update" but it only seems to execute it on the host09:13
booleancatrather, "sudo chroot ..."09:13
Alex_BrooksCan Ubunutu support duel monitors?09:13
trakcyiai knew that quesiton was over my head, i just wanted to try anyway. sorry09:14
booleancatAlex_Brooks: You mean dual monitors, and yes09:14
aethelrickAlex_Brooks: yup it sure can09:14
booleancata duel is a fight ;)09:14
Alex_BrooksThanks booleancat + aethelrick, sorry for the bad spelling, only just woke up.09:14
trakcyiaxinerama and x (in the form of multiple dispays) will duel your output09:14
booleancatAlex_Brooks: you do have to restart X for the changes to apply though09:14

soUPERManit reads...09:32
ImGonnaWineaethelrick: it is not listed in the wine part of the menu09:32
soUPERManaethelrick, is there a way to test if it's faulty?09:32
trakcyiageirha: that did the trick, thank you09:32
aethelrickImGonnaWine: you can browse in nautilius or a terminal into ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files and have a look or wine may have also created a handy menu entry for you under applications, wine, programs09:33
ActionParsnipImGonnaWine: your apps menu will have an entry if the app makes one09:33
ActionParsnipImGonnaWine: under wine09:34
ImGonnaWineit did not make a menu item... unless I need to reboot for it to be seen.09:35
aethelricksoUPERMan: the only real way to tell if something is faulty is to swap it out or try it in another environment. You say it used to work, it's reasonable to suspect in that case that either recent changes have occurred in config or the device is failing09:35
aethelricksoUPERMan: if you can rule out the changes in config... then I'd start to suspect the device.09:35
leaf-sheepImGonnaWine: "killall gnome-panel" should do the triiiiick.09:35

azlonActionParsnip: the router is 192.168.1.0 but i have static ips for every machine which is on the 192.168.0.0 domain11:59
ActionParsnipazlon: only the 192.168.0.0 systems need the route adding, the router will see the address is not for its own network and push the data out to the server11:59
ActionParsnipazlon: the server will then see the traffic coming in and puh it to the www as spanning tree prevents it from sending the data back down the interface the data was recieved on, so will push it to the next hop (www)12:01
azlonActionParsnip: i have the route added to both the server and client (netbook in diagram), still doesnt work12:01
ActionParsnipazlon: the server doesnt need the route, its already part of the 192.168.1.0 network12:02
azlonActionParsnip: ok, let me delete it12:02
ActionParsnipazlon: you could add a route to the server to tell it the interface to access the 192.168.0.0 network via the interface connected to the router if it doesnt already have it12:03

squircleHi everyone; when I boot my new ubuntu install, the bootloader drops me down to a shell after "waiting for root device" and says /dev/sdb1 does not exist. and when i do ls /dev, there is nothing that's hdx or sdx. what do I do?13:01
geirhaMaleko: Oh and you might want -type f to only target files13:01
geirhaActionParsnip: How so?13:01
ActionParsnipsquircle: did you md5 check the iso you downloaded? did you verify the d once booted to?13:01
squircleActionParsnip: yes, I did.13:02
ActionParsnipgeirha: i wouldnt have touched that with the longest pole I could find13:02
ActionParsnipsquircle: good13:02
squircleActionParsnip: what's weird is I can mount the drive if i boot into anything else13:02
squirclejust the bootloader doesn't want to mount it... there isn't any /dev/sdx13:02
ActionParsnipsquircle: strange, the fstab should be populated properly13:02
Cyrano_Zzsquircle: sudo fdisk -l13:02
Malekogeirha: like this? find . -type f -name ! '.*'13:02
squircleActionParsnip: fstab was populated properly, i checked13:03
ActionParsnipsquircle: boot to live CD and use UIDs instead, youo can update fstab to reflect13:03
=== aiyakoiya is now known as Laughing_God
squircleActionParsnip: it was using UUIDs and failing; i changed it to block devices and it's still not working13:03

ynkDr_Willis, it installs Netbeans.13:04
squircleActionParsnip: if it's not working with UUIDs or block devices, what could that mean?13:05
ynkDr_Willis, i found the one in the repository to be out of date.13:05
Dr_Willisynk:  if it needs to be ran as root 'sudo sh whatever.sh' or not  'sh whatever.sh' for a singler user install13:05
ActionParsnipsquircle: no idea, its usually one or the other13:05
ActionParsnipsquircle: if you run: sudo blkid   did te UIDs match?13:05
Dr_Willisynk:  or chmod +x whatever.sh   then ./whatever.sh13:05

cyberjorgeh1231enry: i got used with ubuntu cause it's what they use here13:58
ActionParsnipcyberjorge: you will need to look at nmap and how to scan the network addresses for your subnet to see what is going on13:58
cyberjorgei heared good things about ubuntu here from bona guys that's why i have one in my house too13:59
ActionParsnipcyberjorge: in the same sweep you can have it query the hosts for what services they provide etc13:59

JuJuBeeI use my laptop for web development and somehow postfix got installed and I do not wish it to be.  How can I find out what program installed postfix as a dependency?14:02
h1231enrycyberjorge : Yeah. I really want ubuntu over Windows, because it is easy to use though hard to install and run for the first timers14:02
deviant-routecyberjorge: sudo apt-get install fping then fping -g 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.20 to show you if the hosts are alive or unreachable14:02

BWARGthank you !14:04
erUSULJuJuBee: many programs has a mta as recomended package so they can mail the admin about isuues like smartmontools and the like14:04
cyberjorgeh1231enry: you'll get use to it, it's fun learning ubuntu. Here at bona coffee, they have ubuntu cpu with 2 users14:04
docoliveror rather, for some reason openconnect is not liking getting passwords from a conf file, so I have to pass it on stdin, made that work with '< /file/name'14:04
Cyrano_Zzcyberjorge: for i in `seq 1 254`; do ping -c 1 192.168.1.$i; done14:04
cyberjorgeCyrano_Zz: yes, one exactly is the ip address of my router as i forgot which ip I assigned :D14:05
docoliverbut then openconnect backgrounds using a different pid then the initial startup pid, so start-stop-daemon gets confused and stores the wrong thing.14:05
h1231enrycyberjorge : yeah I'm happy because I'm now using Linux,14:05
JuJuBeeerUSUL: would it be terrible to uninstall postfix?  I do not want an mta installed on my laptop.14:05
Cyrano_Zzcyberjorge: Replace 192.168.1 with the subnet you are trying.14:05
erUSULJuJuBee: no; it will not be terrible14:05
docoliverso I try --background via start-stop-daemon instead, but then my stdin input looks borked.14:05
JuJuBeeok, thanks for the info.  I think it is in fact smartmontools that I installed a few weeks ago...14:06
cyberjorgeh1231enry: and best of all it's free! ;) let's sometime here at bona, they have branch at westgate alabang and in bf14:06

rsoutharderUSUL how would i go about completely turning off the firewall?14:16
ActionParsnipcharlie-jayne: you will need to replace <image file here> with the actual file with path14:16

rsoutharderUSUL: what would be blocking the port then?14:21
rsoutharderUSUL14:22
rsoutharderUSUL: thank you for the help btw.14:22
erUSULrsouthard: as i said. if nothing is listening in the port the port is "closed". you showed with netstat that nothing is listning there so nothiong can respond14:23
rsoutharderUSUL: is there a way to open it?14:23
erUSULrsouthard: launch a program that listens there14:24

Cyrano_ZzMasterofPuppets: There are several backup packages available in the repositories.14:35
Spike1506there are syslog.*.gz files14:35
mweichertActionParsnip, you you would use one or the other - not both, correct?14:35
erUSULmweichert: mdadm is for the md subsystem and lvm2 is for the md subsystem of the kernel... and yes there is some overlapping in funcionality between the two (both can do levels of raid but dm has other uses)14:35
ActionParsnipmweichert: id stick to just one, yes14:35

It started re downloading all the files from my Transmission to my Desktop ( I put them all in Video). I thought this is a reaction to my running out of memory. I deleted some files and restart my comp. When it started, same problem. So I deleted everything from my Transmission. N15:13

AalinuxHalitech: Thank you.17:33
HalitechWallar, the purpose of speed step is to run slower when the machine doesn't need the power so it "steps" it down, nothing wrong with the reading17:33
auguston8tuser: it works perfectly on jaunty and windows17:33
EvaLuaTen8tuser: it says 'DISABLED' next to the wireless interface, so I guess there's still something wrong...17:33

llutzvraa: it cannot, hardware-issue17:36
Cpudan80vraa: it cant replace the modem, it can be a router17:36

n8tuserEvaLuaTe -> pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces file17:37

whileimherehalitech: I do not have a CD burner and it seems that I cannot use the imagewriter to write it to my thumbdrive.17:54
Halitechbobo, did you reconfigure a mail account?17:54

boboHalitech, how do you mean?, after the format i created the same account again, and after that i copied the folder back17:54
whileimhereSo I have a regular non-burner to install with17:54
Halitechbobo, did it create a new folder for evolution and did you copy the old files into that folder?17:55
mgv1i hate i cant figiured out how to use airocrack17:55
EeveeMK13: you can bind keys in Compiz to run whatever you want, and you can generally write shell scripts to automate whatever you want17:56
mgv1now im not on the computer anyway17:56
boboHalitech, i think it created new folder, and after that i merged the folder17:56
Halitechwhileimhere, ok, you didn't mention that, you just said you were trying it with a thumbdrive .... there might be an option on the xubuntu cd to do a minimal install17:56
whileimherehalitech never thought of that!17:56

boboHalitech, so what kind of permissions should i put 666?17:58
Halitechwhileimhere, ok, check the boot options when the initial screen comes up17:58
Halitechbobo, they need to have the same ownership as the new user has17:59
Mr_Giraffebarring, of course, changing the theme17:59
whileimherehalitech I will thanks for the idea!17:59
Halitechwhileimhere, np, hope it works17:59
boboHalitech, so what should i do?17:59

MindVirusHmm...18:19
LjLMindVirus: i think the thing is that you can use other alternatives to dialog. but there should be a multiple depends *somewhere*18:19
MindVirusI'm not using any alternatives to dialog AFAIK (but then again I don't know any).18:20

LjLMindVirus: i don't know. maybe it'll just fall back to Y/N questions at the console with printf18:24
MindVirusLjL: then it should be Depends: dialog || whiptail || gnome-utils.18:24
LjLMindVirus: but i'm not going to try (removing dialog, that is)18:24
MindVirusLjL: sometimes you need a choice of things which that can't handle.18:25
LjLMindVirus: well, but it *is* somewhere. i don't know where, but somewhere18:26

macdonalderquick question... I've got netboot set up and I'm preseeding new installs of ubuntu. We just got new ASUS boards that have an attansic gigabit ethernet controller but it's not recognized by the kernel. When I throw in another card I and install it's fine and when the OS finally boots on its own the newer kernel it installs picks up the onboard attansic device just fine. Presumably the netboot kernel is out of date, but I think18:37
macdonalderI'm using the latest one. Is there anything newer than what's in the hardy repos (yes, I'm using hardy) and if not, what's the process for building support for that device into the netboot kernel?18:37

Lifestream~ Hi all. Can I load LiveCD Ubuntu into Virtualbox in Windows, and from that VB Ubuntu, format an 320GB USB drive, and install Ubuntu into that USB drive?20:37
kris_mrwes: Ok. So, jockey just tried to install the "Broadcom STA wireless driver", but after the reboot, says that it is still not enabled. I'm not sure if that's the same as the b43 driver ... this isn't quite the Vanilla Ubuntu install ....20:38
dojois anyone fluent on the new xorg stuff in here? (ubuntu 9.04+)20:38
kris_mrwes: Anyways, I can't seem to get it enabled.20:38
coordinadorI have ubuntu 9.04, i have openoffice3, i got the error that a file has been locked by other user but that is not true20:38
Two4why not boot the liveCD then install Ubuntu on to the external drive from there?20:38
EeveeLifestream: I..  think that should work yes, as long as the VM has full access to the usb drive20:38
mrweskris_, could try using wicd instead of the network-manager aplet20:39

ratapoilis CUPS-PDF obsolete in jaunty?20:39
CocaCola77Hi, I have this old left over grey box (Piv 1.4ghz, 256mb, 20gb) pc. That used to be a winxp machine. I want to use it as ubuntu server and then especially samba with nt4 like domain controller. Is there a way that I can test that machine is able to the task? I mean not physical but that it's a stable machine and doesn't crash due to hardware every other day?20:39
EeveeLifestream: not positive!  but you can always boot directly off the cd if it doesn't work20:39
kris_mrwes: Never heard of it, but I'll give it a shot ...20:39
mrweskris_, hang on I might have a link20:39
Miko2Okay, I ran the software updates, and it seems my Ubuntu got updated to karmic development branch and now / is mounted as readonly.20:40

assinineI can't bring windows to the 2nd desktop (gnome) by dragging them to the side of the screen. Anyone know what's wrong?21:04
duffydackassinine, might need to enable viewport switcher plugin in compiz21:05
assininei have all desktop effects turned off, duffydack21:05

duffydackassinine, virtual desktops then?21:06

DonBrazini1No21:16
DonBrazini1you will need to have a netbook for that21:16
jribNadroj: well, one way to set it would be to set $http_proxy for example.  You could also just specify it for a particular app if it supports that (like firefox)21:16

phoenixzAnyone here who has some experience with printers? Using a HP3420, printing anything (even text), the printer head makes a printing pass.. waits like 2-3 miniutes and then does it again, etc.. until its finished.. as in, its slow as hell. Eventually the printer was tried even on WinXP, but the problem persists.. What could this be?21:16

jribNadroj: then it's not set21:18
phoenixzpurpzey: The same problem is there in windows and in ubuntu..21:18
purpzeyphoenixz: Right, I am suggesting that maybe the issue is with the printer.21:19
DonBrazini1Zykotik,indeed,but it will be upgraded,lots of problems in that.21:19

phoenixzthats.. just weird..21:20
ZykoticK9DonBrazini1, you'll get the update probably the exact same in Stock or UNR?!?!21:20
purpzeyphoenixz: If the printer was physically broken somehow, just a guess if it doesn't work in two O/Ses.21:20
DonBrazini1UNR , it will cause upgradation problems.21:20

saruHey quick question, how do you restart the Ubuntu X Manager without restarting the computer, looks like Ctrl+Alt+Backspace is disabled21:21
purpzey!dontzap | saru21:21
ubottusaru: To re-enable the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace combination that restarts your X server, you can install the "dontzap" package and use the command « sudo dontzap --disable ». The combination Alt+SysRq+K can also be used to obtain a similar effect.21:21
ZykoticK9DonBrazini1, you'll be getting the same Kernel updates on both systems - it's the same OS when it comes down to it21:21
jribsaru: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart21:21
* LjL slaps jrib for ignoring invoke-rc.d21:22
DonBrazini1Zykotick,have you ever upgraded from a previous distro to a new one?21:22
enduser000saru: you can do "sudo /etc/initd./gdm restart" in a terminal or "gksu /etc/initd./gdm restart" in the run (alt+f2) prompt21:22
jribLjL: I was gonna go with sudo service gdm restart but wanted to provoke you21:22

ZykoticK9DonBrazini1, a couple of times, but when I suggested "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-netbook-remix" it's NOT the same as installing from a UNR USB stick!  This just adds the UNR interface to a regular Ubuntu.21:23

chalcedonyi was wondering if Adobe Acrobat had a separate app for composing and editing that would be different from what we can do with OO/Abi23:31
icerootchalcedony: no because there is no need23:32

hikenbootcan anyone tell me how large the collective repositories for ubuntu powerpc repos are? the default ones in ubuntu powerpc?23:40

afallenhopebazhang, I haven't found any "up to date" packages.23:40
sebsebsebThe-Compiler: Ok what your wanting help with isn't really Ubuntu support, and so you can try asking in #openoffice.org  and/or #ubuntu-offtopic23:40
szeckis impossible23:40
bazhangszeck, let me try23:41
afallenhopefound one ... when I tried to install it, it was from "shireko"23:41
afallenhopeor whatever23:41
EeveeThe-Compiler: that seems pretty rude, but someone could just scroll through the frames without reading them anyway23:41
Eeveeafallenhope: shiretoko?  that's firefox 3.523:41
movaxesto myself: yes you can with 2 netword cards, iprout2 and luck23:41
bazhangafallenhope, it is the most up to date, named that until the next release23:41
szeckok bazhang, if u can try for me.... thanks23:41

The-Compilersebsebseb: well maybe there's another app or way to do it, as said, the final format doesn't matter as long one can play it on the machine it's made (i.e. mine), so it isn't specifically an OpenOffice-Question either23:42
erUSUL!grub | mdkess23:42

afallenhopeokay. I just read that23:45
afallenhopehmm.. how would I update to karmic/23:45
prince_jammysbambam_: PATH=somepath:$PATH23:45
afallenhopesudo apt-get dist-upgrade?23:45
sebsebsebafallenhope: don't do that yet23:45
bambam_prince_jammys: THANKS alot23:45
sebsebsebafallenhope: it's still in development verisons right now, and so buggy23:45
Eeveeafallenhope: karmic is still pretty broken23:45
prince_jammysbambam_: you put it in your .profile and re-login23:45
rskiafallenhope: sudo update manager -d when it's out.23:45
sebsebsebafallenhope: The final will be on October 29th23:45
bambam_I couldnt find syntax for the command23:46
Nattgewhow can I convert a mkv video to something else?23:46
afallenhopebah. okay.23:46
Eeveeafallenhope: just use the shiretoko build, it's current.  and karmic is out in a month23:46
prince_jammysNattgew: avidemux, mencoder, ffmpeg ...23:46
bambam_prince_jammys: I think PATH=/home/me/scripts:$PATH will permanently change the path variable23:46
bambam_isnt it ?23:46
Eeveebambam_: what are you changing it for?23:47
naxasebsebseb, yes, 9.0423:47
prince_jammysbambam_: there's already something like that in your default profile, only the dir is ~/bin23:47
HackwarHi, I've got Ubuntu Jaunty installed and am using Brasero to create my DVDs. However, Brasero takes exceptionally long to burn the disc, sometimes up to 40 minutes (the dvd drive is a 16x SATA drive). Should I use a different program and which would you advise me to use?23:47
prince_jammysbambam_: if you have a ~/bin dir, it gets added to your PATH on login.23:47
Nattgewprince_jammys: I found a guide that uses "-oac mp3lame -lameopts vbr=3" but mencoder says that -lameopts is not valid...23:47
sebsebsebnaxa: Ok well as erUSUL already  pointed out by using the !intel bot trigger,   9.04 has Intel graphics card issues23:47
sebsebsebnaxa: so if yours is working reasonably well, consider yourself lucky23:48
jedcare there any packages in jaunty or karmic that are functionally equivalent to gnump3d for streaming media off a server?23:48
=== mac9416 is now known as macOut
prince_jammysNattgew: sorry, I'm clueless of details. I always look them up when needed. Look into avidemux also.23:48
Nattgewthanks23:48
sebsebsebnaxa: I read that 9.10 will have Intel graphic card fixes, but that's not out untill October 29th23:48
bambam_prince_jammys: See I have just started learning shell scripting and wrote my first script but wasnt able to run it due to path issue23:48
bazhangszeck, that is a method to install a new theme engine; not a theme per se; you will need to know about svn and compiling to install that theme engine.23:48
prince_jammysbambam_: is it fixed?23:48
bambam_so I just need to add a scripts folder in my home directory so that I can run scripts by writing their names23:49
szeckbazhang, ur italian?23:49
prince_jammysbambam_: the standard place for your personal scripts is /home/you/bin . Of course, you can make it whatever you want.23:49
bazhangszeck, why is that important23:49
afallenhopedoes the ubuntu shiretoko use the same plugins and stuff or do I have to re-install flash support?23:49
bambam_I think PATH=SDA/SAD:$PATH command should do it23:49
sebsebsebafallenhope: it's similar to the proper one23:49
prince_jammysbambam_: add that line to ~/.profile23:49
bazhangafallenhope, same, though some do not work as it is so new23:49
Eeveebambam_: if you just want to run a script from the current directory, just do ./script.sh23:49
sebsebsebafallenhope: so  Flash and plugins will work23:49
afallenhopeit still says I'm using 3.023:50
naxasebsebseb, ok, then I'll wait 'til 9.1023:50
bambam_Eevee: really ?23:50
dsdeizi'm getting this error: Prototype mismatch: sub main::__LONG_MAX__ () vs none at /usr/lib/perl/5.10/_h2ph_pre.ph line 291.23:50
sebsebsebnaxa: and when waiting for 9.10 what will you do?23:50
szeckbazhang is not important23:50
Eeveebambam_: yeah.  the shell only checks $PATH if you don't give a pathname.  ./ is a path, so it will run the script just fine23:50
sebsebsebafallenhope: yes 3.0 series will still be installed unless you removed it yourself,  you will have 3.5  as shiretoko23:51

rafaelinuxBuenas x]23:51
naxaI'm a bit afraid, however, that on this old card, nothing will improve. it is annoying for me since on windows I can even play 3d games with it, even if it's old. I would like to say that in linux it works even better, but actually it has this issue. i hope there will be some improvement!23:51
DarkebrzOkay, I still need help with Java, simply enough it does not work with minecraft.net/play.jsp, and so far nobody has been able to fix it (they have all had it working easily though.) Can someone please help?23:51

sebsebsebnaxa: ah ha I see it's also an old card23:51
sahiltry fix broke coommend23:51
prince_jammysbambam_: if you are writing scripts, it's easier to add your script dir to your PATH23:51

naxasebsebseb, I am taking may long way journey to make ubuntu work my way. I have couple of things what i think needs to be done, but i'm using gnome mainly, so i decided to try kde more seriously (i always switched back to gnome in the past years couse i cant get used to kde) and e17. but kde is too slow, however promising, and e17 has some other problems which i might be able to solve (not hardware related)23:53
sebsebsebnaxa: 8.04 has a rather different version of Xorg than what 8.10, 9.04, and 9.10 development versions,  have,   and so it seems that for some of the older cards and such,  the older xorg in 8.04 will be much better23:53

zebastianwhat's the command to get lxde?23:55
zebastiani know it's available from the repos23:55
