=== NauTiluS is now known as NauTiluS1 [00:00] so nothing eh? [00:01] hi i was wondering if someone could help me im trying to figure out how to chage the vebose color in booting jaunty === DaZo is now known as Guest33418 [00:02] ok ubottu, but i didn´t lost grub after windows install...it happened after a upgrade system ! ;) === minerale_ is now known as minerale [00:03] jrib: I went to do the update and my Update Manager doesn't offer me the option "A new release is available" is there a way to do it from CLI manually? [00:03] purpzey: what are you upgrading to? [00:04] jrib: From 8.04 [00:04] purpzey: tape sudo update-manager -d === MikeC is now known as Burzmali [00:04] purpzey: on LTS I believe the option to ignore non-LTS releases is enabled by default, check options [00:05] kewl1: -d is wrong, that'd be for development releases [00:05] purpzey: the comment -d is to Check if upgrading to the latest devel release is possible === plaplapla_ is now known as benacke [00:06] purpzey: For software sources, theres another tab where you can discuss LTS vs every release. Or you can edit /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades [00:06] Hmm, 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.png [00:07] Flannel 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] Flannel: ok..i was wrong [00:07] purpzey: [00:07] I'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] purpzey: You need to either change your preferences to tell you of all releases throgh software sources, or edit that file [00:07] purpzey: did you make you data backup? [00:07] Flannel: Where are the preferences? [00:08] kewl1: My important data is backed up but I would prefer to do it without losing my applications and things of that nature. [00:08] ok [00:08] purpzey: There's another tab under software sources, or software properties, or whatever that menu item is named in Hardy, let me look [00:08] I have been experiencing unusual behaiour on my box. Any help? [00:08] purpzey: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IntrepidUpgrades will walk you through upgrading from 8.04 to 8.10 [00:09] agliodbs: do you have network manager installed. It may be causing issues if you use the interfaces file, You can disable it with bum [00:09] Sun3vi1: you need to be a bit more specific for anyone to actually help you I imagine [00:09] !ask | Sun3vi1 [00:09] Sun3vi1: 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] ActionParsnip: how do I tell? [00:09] purpzey: what happen when you type update-manager -d? [00:09] ActionParsnip: (this is a headless machine) [00:09] agliodbs: ps -ef | grep netw [00:09] Flannel: Ok, thanks. I found the option, btw. Appreciate your help and thanks to you kewl1 [00:09] and thanks jrib [00:10] agliodbs: ah, then it most likely wont be unless you are running an x server for some reson [00:10] ActionParsnip: nothing [00:10] agliodbs: try: ps -ef | grep nm [00:11] I 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] ActionParsnip: just nmbd [00:12] agliodbs: cool, not sure then very strange [00:12] ActionParsnip: I did install some security updates yesterday, so it's possibel that the network wonkyness isn't completely spontaneous [00:12] My dvd writer can't write CDs/DVDs anymore. dmesg shows the following when I insert a blank CD/DVD: http://paste.ubuntu.com/277481/ [00:12] Any idea what the problem could be? [00:12] ActionParsnip: I really can't figure out visudo though [00:12] This behaviour is not normal because it never acted this way when running windows. Granted, windows had more specific drivers [00:12] agliodbs: ActionParsnip: my first guess would be you have dhcpclient running and periodically it's redoing its lease... [00:13] losher: checking [00:13] losher: possibly [00:13] hmmm.. who here actually knows about compiling and has a strong linux background that can help me out [00:13] losher: yeah, the client's running [00:13] losher: how do I kill it permanently? [00:13] afallenhope: what's wrong? [00:14] purpzey: did work? [00:14] agliodbs: and what's in your /etc/network/interfaces file? [00:14] losher: can you help me with some issues? [00:14] losher: paste site, moment [00:14] Maritim, when I compile modules everything seems to be fine but when I do make install it installs to /lib/modules/2.6.28.10/extra rather than /lib/modules/2.6.28-15-generic/extra [00:15] When I do a uname -r it says 2.6.28-15-generic [00:15] and you are compiling 2.6.28-15-generic, not 2.6.28.10? [00:15] http://ubuntu.privatepaste.com/2004zhLzb7 [00:15] kewl1: if its about your update issue above, I dunno much about it... [00:15] Maritim, from what I know yes. I'm trying to compile the avld and rt73 module [00:15] What's a quick way to find out the name of my graphics card? [00:16] losher: :( [00:16] lspci [00:16] !boot | agliodbs [00:16] agliodbs: 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 [00:16] I 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? [00:16] My dvd writer can't write CDs/DVDs anymore. dmesg shows the following when I insert a blank CD/DVD: http://paste.ubuntu.com/277481/ [00:16] agliodbs: you can remove it with that [00:16] Strife89, lspci | grep -i vga [00:16] ActionParsnip: yeah, dhcpclient isn't a boot srcipt, though [00:16] afallenhope: so you downloaded the source code for 2.6.28-15-generic, extracted it, configured and compiled? [00:17] afallenhope: Thanks. :) [00:17] agliodbs: it should be in the init at some point though [00:17] I 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. [00:18] but isnt it enough to change jaunty to karmic in sources.list like you would do in debia [00:18] debian* [00:18] hello? I am not getting a response [00:18] Maritim, did sudo apt-get install linux-source && sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) [00:18] Hey guys, i have a question, is there a way to make ssh ask for a passphrase everytime i ssh into a ubuntu machine? [00:18] benedikt: people keep telling me that.. but every time I have done it.. its worked just fine here... [00:19] Guest76035: if you are using a privte key with a passphrase then yes. [00:19] maybe I ma just special.. [00:19] afallenhope: sounds like the linux-source package in the repo is the wrong version ;) [00:19] benedikt: no you must upgrade properly [00:19] ActionParsnip: yeah, just not sure where to find it [00:19] I do have a private key and passphrase setup on ubuntu [00:19] Biovore: works fine to do it the debian way you mean? [00:19] losher: anything I should change about /etc/interfaces? [00:19] afallenhope: I'd rather go grab it from www.kernel.org [00:19] ActionParsnip: whats the difference? [00:19] benedikt: yup.. they say you shouldn't.. [00:19] so should I sudo apt-get purge linux-source? [00:20] But 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] i'm trying to get sshd ask a passphrase everytime I try to attempt a conenction to my ubuntu box [00:20] :) [00:20] afallenhope: yeah, get rid of it and do it from scratch instead, with the source from kernel.org [00:20] benedikt: one will give you a proper upgrade, one doesnt [00:21] Maritim, it's the right version I can't find the version I'm running on the site [00:21] benedikt: run: sudo do-release-upgrade -d [00:21] anybody know why tcp connections would be blocked on PORT 49014? [00:21] ActionParsnip: define "proper" upgrade? What does update-manager do that apt-get wouldnt do? update-manager krashed somewhere after finsihed downloading the packages do it did everything before that === j is now known as Guest75955 [00:21] is there a web editor for ubuntu someone for free [00:21] benedikt: there is a program called upgrade-manager to do that sort of thing. If thats all it took there would be no need for the app. [00:21] ActionParsnip: it wont do anything since /etc/issue and lsb-release already got replaced [00:21] afallenhope: 2.6.28-15? Not on the site? === SkyERN is now known as Sky3RN [00:22] Guest75955: give kompozer a try if you wanta wysiwyg editor [00:22] Maritim, not that i could find [00:22] thanks [00:22] benedikt: there is a page on the wiki outlining how to upgrade. I suggest you read it: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [00:22] anyone have any ideas on my ssh question? :) [00:22] ActionParsnip: ok I will. [00:23] Right, I'm off to bed. Remember folks, no matter where you go or what you do, you'll be there and it will be your fault. Take it easy... [00:23] afallenhope: hmm.. then I don't know :( [00:23] Maritim, what about a config file? [00:24] agliodbs: your interfaces file looks fine. The networking stuff is such a convoluted mess though. What's in your /etc/network/if* directories? [00:24] Im having trouble installing ubuntu.. Grub keeps failing to install and this is not the first distro to fail arch linux failed as well with Grub [00:24] I 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?

Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [00:25] agliodbs: list them again please, using ls -R [00:26] reesle: something unusual about your boot setup you haven't told us yet? [00:26] losher: http://ubuntu.privatepaste.com/45tWcOjCzg [00:27] afallenhope: aren't those modules available in one of the repos? [00:27] no nothing that i know of Oh sorry i am trying to dual boot with Win 7 and a day ago Win vista (just upgraded) [00:27] agliodbs: I'm wondering what's in dhclient3-apparmor? [00:28] maritim no. [00:28] GnDrMn: You might want to check the visual effects settings. If Compiz is running at all (meaning the effects are set to at least normal) that could be consuming your CPU and GPU. [00:28] afallenhope: what are they called? [00:28] rt73 and avld [00:29] losher: it doesn't appear to start dhclient [00:29] Does one still need to set CONFIG_XEN_BLKDEV_BACKEND or is CONFIG_XEN_BACKEND suficient with the latest xen-enables kernel (2.6.31-rc9+patches) ? [00:29] losher: just launch apparmor before the rest of the network if apparmor is loaded and has a dhclient profile [00:30] I install all the kernels that I have installed. gonna try that brb [00:30] afallenhope: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=400236 [00:30] if i go into the grub prompt on the live cd and type in root i get a Error 11: Unrecognized device string [00:30] agliodbs: which os version, btw?

[00:31] afallenhope: rt73 is in one of the repos, I just did an apt-cache search rt73, and I found rt73-common and rt73-source [00:31] agliodbs: does this problem predate jaunty? [00:31] bonsoir [00:31] it's old [00:31] lol. [00:31] oh, sorry, I meant last week's download [00:31] losher: it's a new system [00:31] only been up 3 days [00:31] afallenhope: meaning it won't work for you? can't blame a man for trying, very well [00:32] agliodbs: I may have reached the limit of being able to diagnose your issue, since I'm running hardy here... [00:32] !flash [00:32] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [00:32] GnDrMn: Even so, have you checked CPU usage when you've first started up? [00:32] losher: I doubt it's anything simple [00:32] losher: I'll see if it reoccurs when I'm done installing stuff [00:32] losher: thanks for suggestions [00:32] agliodbs: when all else fails, start googling :-) [00:33] losher: oh, I did that first [00:33] yes and it falls to about 15 to 25 percent [00:33] If in my Mobo manual it says this "Does not support DDR2-800 in 1GB mode" does that mean that any RAM that I put in over 1 GB cant be 800 Mhz speed? [00:33] I am planning on trying out karmic alpha 6 on my desktop, anyone knows if I'll be able to upgrade to the official karmic version once it is released??? === ubuntu_ is now known as rocky|| [00:34] soy nuebo [00:34] hola a todos [00:34] !es | toni [00:34] toni: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés.

[00:34] so, questons for a headless machine: (1) is there a network manager which doesn't require X, and (2) is there a startup script manager which doesn't require X? [00:34] shawn_, no, it sounds like it's the other way around [00:35] What do you mean? [00:35] bobertdos: Yes it falls to about 15 to 25 percent of the capacity [00:35] Anyone have any suggestions i have googled around but it seems that no one has really solved this problem [00:35] GnDrMn: Well, I'd still give it a shot, because you know, standby is directly related to the graphics drivers. [00:35] shawn_, 32 bit OS can handle up to 2GB, 64 bit OS can handle more than 2GB, I had to install ubuntu 64 bit to take advantage of my 4 gigs of memory === jaybomb is now known as JayBomb999 [00:36] mezquitale I have Ubuntu 64 bit [00:36] reesle: which os version, btw?

[00:37] alright [00:37] thnx [00:38] DasEi, my mistake, a 32 bit OS can handle 2^32 ~ 4 GB of memory [00:38] mezquitale What it said was that it runs 256 MB sticks in 256 mode and 512 MB sticks in either 512 mode or 1GB mode and then it runs 1 GB sticks in 1 GB mode and then underneath it said that other thing I said [00:38] BCM43: you can use System/Preferences/Remote Desktop and connect to it from any VNC viewer [00:39] shawn_, did you build your own system? [00:39] mezquitale No [00:39] GnDrMn: Possibly, yes. Another thing to try (I'm thinking in terms of your relatively low RAM) would be a less sohisticated desktop environment like xcfe or flubox.

[00:52] datta: In Synaptic: Settings>Third-Party Software [00:53] shawn: 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 case [00:53] shawn_, 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 DDR2 [00:54] i can't pass this dell dcse customer service test, anyone else have that problem? [00:54] shawn_, here's the link: http://computermemoryupgrade.mysuperpc.com/computer_memory_upgrade_faq.shtml [00:54] mezquitale Well its all DDR2 [00:54] Fohn: sorry didn't fix the problem [00:54] i have question about synaptic ... but my english is really bad [00:54] ping0: What is your native language? [00:55] Fohn: swedish [00:55] datta: :/ Sorry I couldn't be of more help. [00:55] shawn_, 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 not [00:55] -d [00:55] but i can try it in english [00:55] datta: 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] well.. haven't tried it yet [00:55] ping0: you're doing great so far. So ask... [00:55] can i like save a list of all programs that i have installed from synaptic and import it on a another computer [00:55] to install the same programs [00:55] mezquitale Well even right now I took out my other two sticks and only have my PNYs in and it shows 3.2GB STILL instead of 4GB [00:55] so * [00:56] !sv [00:56] Svensk Ubuntu- och Kubuntusupport hittar du på #ubuntu-se resp. #kubuntu-se [00:56] I think that's swedish... :/ [00:56] mezquitale: 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 ram [00:56] ping0: Well, not a list perse, but here's one possibility: [00:56] ping0: yes. dpkg --get-selections > package.selections to save. dpkg --set-selections < package.selections; apt-get dselect-upgrade to restore.... [00:56] Hi - Ever since upgrading from 8.04 to 9.04, i am getting random freezes (cursors won't move, can't change numlock, can't do ctl-alt-backspace)... how can i start debugging these? [00:56] !aptoncd | ping0 [00:56] ping0: APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers - See also !offline [00:57] shawn: what MB or computer make/model do you have? [00:57] ozzmant It still shows 3.2GB is all I have even when I have only my two PNYs installed and it should be 4GB [00:57] ozzmant My motherboard is the DG965OT or something by Intel [00:57] ping0: losher's way will work too [00:57] please please anyone please help me [00:57] And ozzmant could you say "shawn_" so it shows up for me as red [00:57] oh ok .. ty [00:58] ping0: it's in the dpkg man page... [00:58] ozzmannt, well he has 2 sticks with 2 gigs DDR2 and 2 sticks with 1 gig DDR2, they are running at diferent speeds, do you think it will work?? PLus, they are from different manufacturer [00:58] losher: nice [00:58] Maritim, here's something interesting for you: http://pastebin.com/d4849eb00 [00:59] datta: I repeat, go into System->Administration->Software Sources. I think you have at least one invalid entry in there. [00:59] shawn_, not quite used to the IRC client i'm using yet, just kinda jumped in [00:59] ozzmant Haha no problem... Ill be right back though in a minute... I still need to figure out this problem. [00:59] mezquitale, 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 that [00:59] ping0: 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... [01:00] boberdos: no i just checked it right now, theres only wine, ubuntu one and google [01:00] nothing else than that [01:01] ozzmannt, he is only able to see 3.2 gigs in ubuntu [01:01] mezquitale, ozzmannt, dmesg line 28 : [    0.000000] WARNING: BIOS bug: CPU MTRRs don't cover all of memory, losing 704MB of RAM.

[01:02] shawn_, have you tried updating your BIOS? [01:03] VilasBoas: make sure all the channels are unmuted / turned up with alsamixer [01:03] losher : ok [01:03] i already have [01:03] have you now [01:03] mezquitale, understood but the mixing of brands/speeds has nothing to do with that [01:03] VilasBoas: what channels have you got showing? [01:04] gOLDfeesh: it wasn't for me, it was for afallenhope [01:04] Maritim, I am afallenhope ;) [01:04] gOLDfeesh: I don't have a ralink card ;) [01:05] sunshinepants: HDA intel (Alsa mixer) Main Headphone PCM font [01:05] Question . . . I set my username/password as a FTP user in ProFTPD and granted that user all permissions. But for some reason, I cannot overwrite my files. I can delete, rename, chmod, etc., but it will not let me over write them. Any idea why? [01:06] myownserver: sounds like a safety feature. Are you sure it's not a proftpd 'feature'... [01:06] VilasBoas: 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.. [01:07] Maritim, is there a reason as to why DEPMOD says 2.6.28.10?? [01:07] Okay Im back [01:07] sunshinepants: how??? [01:07] VilasBoas: the alsa upgrade script fixed my problem [01:07] VilasBoas: it's on ubuntuforums.org, you must be registered to grab it [01:07] mezquitale I just got back I missed anything you said a fewminutes ago [01:07] ozzloy, DasEi so it looks like it's a known BIOS issue then [01:07] sunshinepants: do you have that script? [01:07] VilasBoas: negative [01:08] losher: I have no clue. It's a permissions issue of some sort. [01:08] shawn_, it looks like it's a BIOS issue, have you tried updating your BIOS? [01:08] sunshinepants: ok thanks [01:08] mezquitale Not even sure how to do that [01:08] I did that to keep from having a problem with directly accessing the files on the PC I'm uploading them to. [01:08] shawn_, found your issue, your MB supports 8gb of ram at 667mhz or below [01:08] sweet [01:08] Instead of having to use root commands to modify it, I wanted to directly access it. [01:09] ozzmant Hmmm so I need to find a way to exchange this 800 for 667? [01:09] mezquitale: ozzloy : that , or the hint from the manual, or non suitable rams wrong bios setting, last a defective stripe [01:09] shawn_, http://paste.ubuntu.com/277503/ [01:10] gOLDfeesh: the only probable reason would be that the version is in fact 2.6.28.10 [01:10] shawn_, 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] Maritim, how would I remove it then? [01:10] 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 GB [01:10] Is there anything like this: http://www.crossloop.com/ for linux? I need to log in to the computer of a person who is not technical enough to setup port forwarding. === ubuntu is now known as rocky| [01:11] hello [01:11] hi rocky| [01:11] how can I discover which boot manager (lilo, grub, ...) is "active" on my pc? [01:11] shawn_, full manuals here : http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/dg965ot/sb/CS-029360.htm [01:11] My Raedon X1200 is performing SLOWLY with 3D graphics in games in Ubuntu, and distant textures look very weird. I've already tried this (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1231030), to no avail. Can anyone suggest another possible course of action? I'm running the 32 bit version of Ubuntu, but my Toshiba Satellite has a 64 bit AMD CPU. [01:11] gOLDfeesh: 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 version [01:11] maver: reboot? [01:11] maver: if you are running ubuntu it is most likely grub. grub is default for ubuntu [01:12] ozzmant Yeah I have the manual I took out the rest of my RAM and all I left in is 4GB of the 800 speed stuff but it still only displays 3.2 GB in system monitor [01:12] BCM43: Checkout Logmein.com [01:12] Maritim, I don't know how I'd do that though.. [01:12] myownserver: on ubuntu? [01:12] BCM43: give them a putty config that forwards their internal 3389 to your box [01:12] BCM43, I know I'm using Grub, I just was curious to know if there's a command which shows it [01:12] Crap, I dunno. They're the makers of Hamachi, which the use to support Linux, si I don't know. [01:12] gOLDfeesh: it's 2am here, so I'm about ot head to bed. I'll see if I can find something on google [01:12] Check it out and see. [01:12] sunshinepants: I don't know how to do that. [01:12] I know this isn't directly ubuntu related, but I need help making a backup of my hdd. It says it has bad sectors, and chkdsk /f/r doesn't fix it. I want to use ntfsclone, but don't know how to use it completely. The partition I want to back up is /dev/sda1 and I want to save a disk image to /dev/sdb1 [01:13] Maritim, that'd be appreciated thanks [01:13] BCM43: They may support it. [01:13] gOLDfeesh: modprobe -r module_name [01:13] gOLDfeesh: why do you not install the module which is in the ubuntu repository? [01:13] how to install extra font? [01:13] shawn_, next thing on the list is to update the bios, reset the settings and see if that helps, i highly doubt it's an ubuntu issue more likley a BIOS issue [01:13] !fonts O__o [01:13] Sorry, I don't know anything about fonts O__o [01:14] !fonts | O__o [01:14] O__o: Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer [01:14] ozzmant How do I update my bios? [01:14] BCM43: I don't think that's documented on a blog or anything.. let me know what you decide to use [01:14] rocky|: the internal has bad sectors or the one you want to write to ? [01:14] myownserver: does not look like it, thanks antway. [01:14] shawn_, http://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng&ProductFamily=Desktop+Boards&ProductLine=Intel%C2%AE+965+Express+Chipset+Family+Boards&ProductProduct=Intel%C2%AE+Desktop+Board+DG965OT&OSVersion=OS+Independent [01:15] DasEi: the internal has bad sectors, and I want to make a disk image of it on an external. [01:15] im trying to figure out how to install webkit, i tried sudo apt-get intall libqt4-webkit but can't find the package [01:15] I think I found the official channel for this app, so I'm going to go there :) [01:15] rocky|: right, first make a empty partition on the external slightly bigger then your internal is [01:15] ozzmant Umm which one do I want [01:16] rocky|: you want a new image that has bad sectors too? [01:16] ozzmant DO I want the latest? [01:16] kermit: it doesn't matter to me as long as I have a backup [01:16] do i need to restart openoffice after i installed the font? [01:16] I know that using ntfsclone it will copy the bad sectors [01:16] !graphics [01:16] Sorry, I don't know anything about graphics [01:16] !x [01:16] The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution [01:17] shawn_, you want the one that is marked latest and you want the .iso file to burn to a cd [01:17] ozzmant Im not really sure how to do this xD [01:17] Does anyone know how to do Internet connection sharing with XP and Ubuntu? [01:17] with 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? [01:18] shawn_, 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 good [01:18] I have a package idea for Ubuntu and wonder where to start? Who to get in touch with. [01:18] kermit, jumping in late but i think sudo only works in that terminal instance [01:18] rocky|: using gparted is clear ? [01:18] ozzmant I cant even get 4GB to work so I find that wierd [01:18] dasei, gparted reports bad sectors [01:19] ozzmant But my bios hasnt been updated in 2-3 years [01:19] berto, kermit: I can confirm that sudo only works in that terminal instance. I just tested it. [01:19] !brainstorm | shane2peru [01:19] shane2peru: Post your ideas for ubuntu at http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com and vote for the ones you like! [01:19] What's the name of the terminal app? terminal isn't it [01:19] DasEi: what I want to do is make a copy of the partition, zero out the drive with bad sectors, then reformat it [01:19] Do i need a crossover cable to do a internet connection between Windows Xp and Ubuntu [01:19] shawn_, u've never seen > 3.2gb in any OS you have run tho right? [01:19] I am have a sneaking feeling that I can fix it through software [01:19] ctmjr: ahh, thank you!!! I will check that out [01:20] Berto,maritim: i dont follow, what terminal instance? [01:20] ToStItOs, that's only for hookingone computer up directly from nic to nic [01:20] * rocky| doesn't have good english tonight XD [01:20] rocky|: did you ran an non destructive check on the hd ? question about gparted concerned external [01:20] ozzmant Before I bought these new sticks I only had 2GB of RAM in it so no I guess I havnt [01:20] shane2peru: your welcome [01:20] rocky|: native language ? [01:20] english XD [01:20] heh [01:20] craigbass1976 what I want to do is share the connection and files and printer [01:20] shawn_, 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 CD [01:21] yes, I did. I tried Western Digital data life (or something like that), chkdsk /f/r, and a *little* of spinrite [01:21] kermit: 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 something [01:21] With the crossover could that be done? [01:21] ToStItOs, you'll need a router, or at least a switch; either that or have two nics in one of the machines [01:21] rocky|: or a sudo e2fsck -p from a live cd on the not-mounted drive [01:21] kermit: 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 of [01:22] 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_X [01:22] How do I enable SSL on a samba server? [01:22] craigbass1976: 2 NICS? [01:22] Dasei: well, I'm running ubuntu 9.04 x64 desktop edition right now, so I'll go ahead and do that :) [01:23] ToStItOs, ethernet cards [01:23] shawn_, curse at intel for that, same problem i had with the 965 [01:23] Maritim: i didnt realize it even didnt prompt for a password, so my statement wasnt based on that feature at all [01:23] ozzmant How much is a new motherboard? [01:23] craigbass1976: 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 switch [01:24] DasEi: I am having trouble with that command... but really the first thing on my mind is making a complete backup [01:24] karmit: 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 aswell [01:24] rocky|: so I'll see you back then, or we can backup first, so .. ? [01:24] right.. gparted then [01:24] ToStItOs, 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] ozzmant Going to update bios hopefully this works wish me luck [01:25] craigbass1976: Can I buy them or [01:25] DasEi: the problem is that gparted won't touch it because of the bad sectors... thats why I'm using ntfs clone [01:25] I'm just going to go to their channel [01:25] shawn_, i wouldn't even consider it unless you really need that extra RAM to be honest [01:25] 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_X [01:25] rocky|: gparted is now used to create a partition on your external [01:26] Maritim: i didnt realize it ever didnt prompt for a password, so my original statement wasnt based on that feature at all [01:26] ToStItOs, 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... [01:27] rocky|: I assume the external is big enough to house your internal, you launch gparted [01:27] shawn_, http://www.memtest.org/#downiso i would also download that to make sure it isn't an ubuntu problem for sure [01:27] yes, the internal is 640 GB, external is 1 TB === _Cyrano_ is now known as Cyrano_De [01:27] fine [01:27] craigbass1976: 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 printer [01:27] ozzmant Or could I just run the memtest off my Ubuntu live CD [01:28] DasEi, I'm just a little iffy..... does parted magic work sector by sector? [01:28] ToStItOs, 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 want [01:28] rocky|:in gparted choose this 1 TB and make it a 650 GB in front [01:28] hi [01:29] shawn_, if the problem exists in ubuntu that would produce the same results as just booting the OS :P [01:29] and should I be able to copy this partition back to a different hdd (same model) and see it work right away? === Jessd is now known as JessD [01:29] How do I find what machine I am running? (I know its sony Vaio, but I don't know the model) [01:29] ozzmant Shouldnt I try updating my bios first before running a 3 hour mem test? [01:29] rocky|: you will be later [01:29] I need to backup my ubuntu system before I send it in to be fixed, how do I do that? [01:29] ok [01:30] craigbass1976: Let me tell you my set up I have a external modem on the Ubuntu box and the other is Xp so I want the Xp box to do the sharing because thats where my printer is set up [01:30] shawn_, most def [01:30] shrinking [01:30] ShapeShifter499 : Do you have a drive large enough to hold the entire box? [01:30] ozzmant Alright Ill be right back [01:30] Anyone have a Dell Eport docking station? Did you get sound working on it? [01:30] rocky|: apply your change in gp, close it [01:30] yea hooked up by firewire on another comp /w ubuntu [01:31] brb [01:31] good night [01:31] ToStItOs, just share it out then on the xp box and browse for it on the ubuntu box. Should find it. I haven't got a regular Ubuntu box here (and no windows in my house anyway) to walk you through the exact process, but that's essentially it [01:31] Shapeshifer499, Use Gparted to Clone you Hard drive and will not lose anything [01:31] how? [01:31] ToStItOs, you should just quit xp... :P [01:31] I have my backup drive on another pc [01:31] im having problems running synaptic, or problems with my repositories. I cant find xchat... or wicd... or aircrack-ng... [01:31] craigbass1976: Eventually I will [01:31] with ubuntu [01:31] what am i missing? [01:32] ShapeShifter499 : Then what I usually do (YMMV) is boot the box w/ a live cd (like DSL) dd the drive over ssh [01:32] still waiting for the resize to finish..... [01:32] ToStItOs, you'll love it, especially when everyone you know gets hit with the latest porn virus [01:32] I know it can take awhile [01:32] ShapeShifter499 : It can be somewhat complicated [01:32] How do I find what machine I am running? (I know its sony Vaio, but I don't know the model) [01:32] ok I'm in a live cd right now [01:32] DasEi: ok, its done, now what? :) [01:32] what do I do? [01:33] craigbass1976: This Ubuntu box is my backup in case my Xo box gets toasted [01:33] JessD : Here's how I do it. If my backup drive is mounted to /mnt/backup on 192.168.1.7 [01:33] rocky|: open terminal, sudo fdisk -l [01:33] Darkebrz "sudo dmidecode |more" [01:33] Thanks [01:33] ShapeShifter499 : and my username on the target box is foo, and my drive on the box to back up is /dev/sda [01:33] *NOTE: I'm chatting on the comp with the backup drive hooked up to it* [01:33] hi i have a font CASTELAR.TTF in windows, how do i put it in ubuntu? [01:33] DasEi: what will that do? [01:33] craigbass1976: I 'll play with the crossover cable and set it up [01:34] w8 [01:34] ShapeShifter499 : Then, WITH EXTREME CAUTION, my syntax looks like this [01:34] can you pm me the info? [01:34] ToStItOs, you may have ot go to a computer shop; I don't know as crossover is something best buy would carry. [01:34] rocky|: get the /dev/sda (internal?) and /dev/sdb1 (? external) ;; it will list your hd's and their partits [01:34] I did it, should I pastie it? [01:35] Cyrano_De, that only lists the chip, I was wondering what my model was. (Im trying to do a format on windows) [01:35] ozzmant Alright I tried doing it but it said my CD-ROM drive was not bootable for some reason yet it works when I put in my Ubuntu live CD [01:35] ShapeShifter499 : One sec [01:35] hi folks [01:35] rocky|: yes [01:35] kk [01:35] craigbass1976: I plan to the stupid forums don't give any specifics [01:35] JessD: ok [01:35] Darkebrz: Keep reading the output. There should be alot of info on your system from that.

[02:00] rocky|: yes, any data external exceeding the 650 is by now lost. you could put that back, with difficulties. but you can format this space now an shove your external data over. another tip : next time mention if you use a FS other then ext, as we are in ubuntu [02:00] shawn_: Depends on your workload.

[02:08] rocky|: You could create a file of the size you need with dd and then copy the partition into it. The you use the loopback device to "mount" that file.

[02:10] :D [02:10] rocky|: Actually in nthe example I just gave of just sda mounting it is more complicated, you need an offset because sda is entire disk. but sda1 sda2 etc etc works [02:10] * timClicks thinks it's strange that a CLI IRC client is larger than a GUI client [02:10] rocky|: mount -t auto -o loop /somewhere/somefilename.img /mnt/somemountpoint [02:11] which commands does ubottu know?

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.

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 it [02:32] tony7: chmod 640 text.txt [02:33] 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] Logomachist: The reason that command fails is that all to right of pipe (the | ) would require also a sudo [02:33] genii : Can't tell you how many times sudo and pipe has bitten me that way [02:34] genii : Never thought of putting it on both sides.. [02:34] Darkebrz: the vmlinuz-2.6* file is your kernel image for step 4 [02:34] Cyrano_De, There are 2 ._. [02:34] Is there a health IRC channel somewhere... [02:34] that initrd.img file is the file to copy for step 5 [02:34] 28-11 and 28-15 [02:35] Darkebrz: do a uname -a That should show you the version number you need.

D: [02:40] sudo cat a.conf >> /etc/postfix/main.cf , but I got the permission error. [02:40] how to solve it? [02:40] Wait, does that just open the file? [02:40] Fohn: which xorg.conf are you altering? [02:40] timClicks: /etc/X11/xorg.conf [02:40] Fohn: I wonder if there's anything hidden in /home/user/.xorg [02:40] * Fohn goes to see [02:41] qianjigui: cat whatever | sudo tee -a /the/priveleged-path/filename [02:41] genii, thx [02:41] qianjigui: Welcome [02:41] Darkebrz: that is menu.1st <---ONEst not ELLst [02:42] Darkebrz: More just displays the file one page at a time. [02:42] I still get no file or directory [02:42] Which is probably because I am in my home directory [02:42] And forgot how to navigate up D: [02:43] cd followed by your case-sensitive directory [02:43] Darkebrz: put the full path in there "/boot/grub/menu.1st" It should not matter where you are if you use the full path [02:43] darkebrz@ubuntu:~$ sudo more /boot/grub/menu.1st [02:43] /boot/grub/menu.1st: No such file or directory [02:44] Darkebrz, it's menu.lst [02:44] Is there any IRC channels for discussing health issues and stuff? [02:44] OH [02:44] Well [02:44] I thought I copied what you typed >_> [02:44] I did actually [02:44] Darkebrz: Sorry, my mistake. [02:44] Try ~/boot/grub/menu.1st [02:44] Yeah :P [02:45] Darkebrz: I abuse tab complete a little too much sometimes. [02:45] Tab complete is the bomb :P [02:45] Major_Quacks, that path would be relative to his home directory and not / [02:46] Darkebrz: Are you on grub1 or grub2 ? [02:46] There we go [02:46] lst worked [02:46] genii: Thanks for the correction. Now how do I accomplish it without overwriting my Vista partition? [02:47] Well, I forgot what I was looking for now XD [02:47] root device [02:47] Right [02:48] Darkebrz: That may be a little tough as Ubuntu uses uuids. [02:48] I do not understand [02:48] Wait [02:48] Not root device [02:48] Logomachist: 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 suggested [02:48] root dev [02:48] That I read as device [02:49] !enter | Darkebrz [02:49] Darkebrz: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [02:50] Darkebrz: I compared my root UUID entry in menu.lst to the \ in fstab [02:50] Well, I believe my root is /dev/hda2/ [02:50] anyone here know pinguino? [02:50] Darkebrz: My /etc/fstab file tells me / was /dev/sda5 during installation. [02:51] Darkebrz: sudo blkid will give you UUID's along with /dev/hdX so you can know which is which. [02:51] Darkebrz: The UUID for / in /etc/fstab matches the root=UUID= line in menu.lst [02:52] Did sudo blkid, it lists /dev/loop0 /dev/sda1/ and /dev/sda2/ then some incomprehensible garble. [02:52] I can't believe I am doing all this just because my power cable got pulled out. [02:52] Darkebrz: The incomprehensible garble is the UUIDs for the partitions [02:53] Okay, 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] The "incomprehensible garble" might be something like... your UUID .... [02:53] * genii sips [02:54] Darkebrz: sda2 is a good bet for a default install [02:54] Darkebrz: I do not have a default install to test that with. [02:54] Cyrano_De, I am also sure it is. [02:55] Can anyone tell me why I can't change the sample rate in JACK to 44100? It perpetually stays at 16000... [02:55] I just did a dist-upgrade and ubuntu-minimal and sysklogd couldn't be upgraded [02:55] Does anyone know how to fix this? [02:55] genii, a little excited and calmer now, doing the command you gave me earlier.... while obviously I can't tell how its doing, I trust that its working :) [02:55] where do i see if my pc is x64 or x32 on ubuntu? [02:56] RaviResck: uname -a [02:56] Now this makes no sense. It wants me to modify isolinux.cfg in bootcd, but I never copied or created those files ._. [02:56] am I the only one who finds "a little excited and calmer now" oxymoronic? [02:56] RaviResck: uname -m [02:56] ? [02:56] Cyrano_De bastidrazor i686 means x64 right? [02:57] no it doesn't, RaviResck [02:57] RaviResck: no, that is 32 bit [02:57] rsrs [02:57] lol [02:57] Thanks! [02:57] Can anyone tell me why I can't change the sample rate in JACK to 44100? It perpetually stays at 16000... [02:57] RaviResck: X86_64 means 64bit [02:57] RaviResck: x86_64 is 64 [02:57] ok [02:57] really its x86 with 64 bit extensions [02:57] :/ [02:58] If i want to download a Debian i should take the i386 version? [02:58] do you have an x64 processor? [02:58] rocky_: The chip may be, but the Linux Kernel is either 32bit or 64. [02:58] RaviResck: That is more dependant on your CPU. [02:58] rocky_: Hopefully your current sdb2 is larger than your old sda1 [02:58] yes, it is [02:58] it is 20 GB larger [02:58] i really dont know. My uname -m returned i 686 [02:59] yes, its larger then 20 gb [02:59] rocky_: Good :) [02:59] lol, RaviResck. I will limit my response to one line when I can ;) [02:59] ok, this is driving me insane. [02:59] RaviResck: then you installed the 32bit ubuntu. stick with 32bit if you are somewhat new to linux. [02:59] Cyrano_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] RaviResck: cat /proc/cpuinfo should tell you the CPU info. Look for 64 in there. [02:59] i've got an HP mini 1035 running Jaunty, and I can't get the sound to work. [03:00] genii, I'm wondering how long it would take to transfer 640 GB of data over USB 2.0 [03:00] clflush size : 64 [03:00] rocky_: Long [03:01] I'll go do the math [03:01] Darkebrz: In step 3 it says to copy /usr/lbi/syslinux/isolinux.bin to your working directory bootcd [03:01] Darkebrz: Did you do that? [03:01] RaviResck:no, look up the model name and that will tell you. [03:01] Cyrano_De, yes, but it said nothing about a .cfg ._. [03:02] Can anyone tell me why I can't change the sample rate in JACK to 44100? It perpetually stays at 16000... [03:02] huh, linux became the first OS to support USB 3.0 :D [03:02] bastidrazor r u sure? model name : Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 2.50GHz [03:02] And I can't find a .cfg in the same folder [03:02] I just did a dist-upgrade and ubuntu-minimal and sysklogd couldn't be upgraded. This seems odd to me... Can anyone help? [03:02] am i able to get XV output from the FGLRX driver in mplayer? [03:02] Darkebrz: Your correct. There is not isolinux.cfg file in /usr/lib/syslinux? [03:02] RaviResck: if you google the model name that will tell you if it supports 64bit or not. [03:02] genii: 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. [03:03] genii, wow... I'm looking at about 3 hours [03:03] rocky_: Yes, or longer [03:03] Can anyone tell me why I can't change the sample rate in JACK to 44100? It perpetually stays at 16000... [03:03] well, i'm going to bed soon anyways, so w/e, it'll be done by the time I wake up [03:04] Cyrano_De, ... there is not [03:04] Mhm, I'm trying to make my drive region free..... [03:04] Im beginning to think this tutorial is very outdated [03:04] thanks in advance for helping me out with this [03:04] i g2g [03:04] bye [03:05] I say advance because I don't know if it will work... I know it should :) but idk....... lol [03:05] Logomachist: dd if=something | split -b=650m needs to have some third part for it not to end up just spewing 650mb stuff into the stdout... [03:05] Darkebrz: I think it wants you to create the .cfg file in your bootcd directory. [03:05] Can anyone tell me why I can't change the sample rate in JACK to 44100? It perpetually stays at 16000... [03:05] no matter what I put in setup [03:05] !repeat | ZoeyMarie [03:05] ZoeyMarie: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you.

[03:05] i wanna click a files properties and change its permission but its greyed out [03:06] how do i bypass tht [03:06] Ugh, I really g2g [03:06] I did not think it would take this long D: [03:06] tony7: You will need to change the permissions/owner from the command line [03:06] i cant do it with a gui? [03:07] Hey does any one have a good site to goto to get a file to make a boot disk with a USB driver for an external CD-ROM drive? Trying to put Xubuntu on an older laptop PC. [03:07] tony7: Generally no [03:07] whats gksudo nautaulus....or something like that [03:07] tony7, you can but it's not recommended. alt+f2 then "gksu nautilus" [03:07] tony7 that will bring up a root file explorer, but again, it's not recommended [03:08] Does anyone have a clue how I can play other region DVDs on Linux [03:08] while attempting to make a dual boot system with 2 hard drives apparently the live cd didnt recognize the windows disk and now grub isn't working and the windows drive also displays a grub error when booting [03:08] genii, I am waiting until my question leaves my screen but I suppose I can wait until it leaves a bigger window... and I am searching the forums, nothing there either... And I thought that, when your question isn't directed at someone, it can "get lost"... so I was just making sure mine didn't get lost. I'm sorry if it was out of line. Thank you for letting me know. :) [03:08] options? [03:08] i tried that and nothing comes up [03:08] Rosey, I believe VLC supports that [03:08] genii: I forget exactly what command I use, does it matter? I know the filenames weren't filenames I picked, they were default filenames the utility generated. The first one was xaa, then xab, ect... all the way to xd something. I would have picked something more meaningful. [03:08] tony7: That will run Nautilus with full root permissions and any mistake you make in that window will have little to stop it. [03:08] hmmm okay [03:09] I'll try VLC again [03:09] tony7: Don't fear the CLI. It is your friend once you get to know it. [03:10] Yeah for some reason VLC doesn't work for me.... [03:10] I 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? [03:10] Rosey, does it play any DVD at all? [03:10] how can i boot a windows drive that displays a grub error? can i reinstall grub and hope that it sees windows [03:11] Logomachist: The command you gave me for instance.... would not even make any files. It would break the contents of the dd output into 650mb chunks but just output them to the screen... [03:11] Looking for a program to creat a boot floppy w/USB CD-ROM drivers. Any ideas? [03:11] Does anyone know why this happens? :( http://pastebin.com/d22916441 [03:11] genii: Ok, I'm trying to figure out the exact command. [03:12] brand0con: If you have a Windows Vista entry in your menu.lst fill grub should be able to boot it once you reload the MBR [03:12] brand0con, if you dont have grub2 then configure menu.lst using UUID for the windows partition [03:12] perhaps i should just ask for help with what im actually trying to do....which is set up an ssh server and test it [03:12] tony@tony-desktop:/$ sshd -t [03:12] Could not load host key: /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key [03:12] Could not load host key: /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key [03:12] tony7: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. === d is now known as Guest42812 [03:13] Hmmm it doesn't play any...

[03:13] genii: when would be an appropriate time to re-ask my question? [03:13] but it reads the disc [03:13] monokrome: Does sudo apt-get -f install work? [03:13] mezquitale: in theory shouldn't i be able to unplug the ubuntu drive leaving only the windows drive in and have it boot windows still without grub at all? I'll try that anyhow [03:13] excitement and anxiety is ensuing in the rocky household [03:13] ZoeyMarie: Every 10 minutes or more is not considered rude/annoying :) [03:13] tony7, you shouldn't need to start it like that, "sudo apt-get install ssh" should both install and start the service for you [03:13] quit [03:14] genii: thank you. [03:14] brand0con, not really, you have to fix your hard drive with windows so you can boot from it, basically "uninstall" grub [03:14] tony7: Have you installed the openssh-server package?

I will return however in 11 hours for a period of 8 hour stretch, during any time then you can re-contact me on the same subject...if you have not been helped by then [03:15] wait [03:15] tony7: In ubuntu it is /etc/init.d/ssh [03:15] Sorry [03:16] anto9us: thank you [03:16] tony@tony-desktop:/$ sudo /etc/init.d/ssh status [03:16] * sshd is running [03:16] Cyrano_De: me too..

[03:40] yes [03:40] and the driver [03:41] shawn_, i do not know the answer to that one, if somebody knows the answer they will reply\ === hey` is now known as grumete [03:42] powermac-radeon-, sorry i thought you meant ram, maybe someone might the answer to that one, ask again in a few minutes, I dont know the answer to that one [03:42] Alright [03:43] how do your reset the root password if you cant remember the password you put in the first time? [03:44] from a user that can do sudo, sudo -s and then passwd [03:44] powermac-radeon-: Does sudo lspci -vvv |more give you enough? [03:44] !password [03:44] Forgot your password? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword What's the root password? See !sudo. Don't see *** in password prompts? That's normal. Sudo doesn't ask for your password? It remembers you for several minutes. Please use strong passwords, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/StrongPasswords [03:44] Gilboman007: If you have access to the server hardware, you can boot onto a live CD, chroot, and run passwd from there... Assuming you don't have sudo rights [03:44] BAK. IM just crashed. [03:46] Logomachist: 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 order [03:46] Can I disable mounted device icons from showing up on the desktop? I already have the StacksPlugger in AWN monitoring my mounted devices. [03:47] how to know safe repository ? [03:48] I'm having a problem whenever I try to play games (tremulous, supertuxkart...) After about 10 minutes of play my keyboard & mouse no longer work in the game, & nothing I do can close the game window & get back to normal desktop, but I can still ctrl-alt-F#, ctrl-alt-backspace or REISUB. Any idea what the problem is? [03:48] D-rew: yes, in gconf-editor .. let me find the full route to go. [03:48] genii: I don't understand that last part. "Import" ? [03:48] alazyworkaholic, do you have compiz enabled? [03:48] mezquitale: yes [03:49] Cyrano_De: it does not tell me the driver though [03:49] clear [03:49] alazyworkaholic, try disabling compiz and see what happens [03:49] ugh [03:49] Logomachist: I didn't say anything about "import" . I said it is important to name all the files it made, and in the exact order they were made, if you do the command I give [03:49] my fat wife uses ophcrack to get my account password, how do I keep her from deleting my porn links? TIA :) [03:49] Logomachist: Perhaps the right side of my message is scrolling off your screen [03:50] lol [03:50] stinky, get a divorce, problem solved [03:51] not a bad idea mezquitale :) [03:51] put you porn links on a USB key [03:52] powermac-radeon-: It does not have a "Kernel driver in use:" line at the bottom of the vga section? Add another v to that [03:52] D-rew, bastidrazor it's /apps/nautilus/desktop/volumes_visible :) [03:52] hahahahahaha [03:52] stinky: disable cd/usb boot in bios, password the bios, lock the computer case so it can't be opened except by you. [03:53] stinky, a seperate user account [03:53] D-rew: and there you have it.. as anto9us stated. [03:53] Hey [03:53] thanks powertool08 , thiebaude :) some great ideas :) [03:53] could someone give me the command to remove the mozilla nightys please :) [03:54] it's a ppa btw [03:54] stinky, if you have a floppy put your bookmarks on it [03:54] i deleted my upper panel mistakenly can somebody tell me how to recover it ? [03:54] !panels | Hadi [03:54] Hadi: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [03:54] * thiebaude likes the usb idea [03:55] Cyrano_De: it does, it says radeonfb. is that driver libre? [03:55] stinky, do you have a laptop? [03:55] ubottu i can't run terminal [03:55] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [03:55] powermac-radeon-: Yes, the none libre is flgrx [03:55] oh ok [03:56] Hadi, use "alt-f2" [03:56] im doing dual screen on the live cd [03:56] worked nicely [03:56] how do i change the permmisons on dir ? [03:56] no thiebaude , I like your USB key idea though :) [03:56] !permissions [03:56] An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [03:56] !radeonfb [03:57] Sorry, I don't know anything about radeonfb [03:57] powermac-radeon-: The radeon libre drivers work quite well even at high resolution. As long as you do not need 3d. [03:57] stinky, im glad my wife knows nothing about computers,lol [03:57] thanks dude [03:57] * thiebaude now i'll stay ontopic [03:57] what about the new radeon driver? will this work with my card? [03:58] I have Windows XP on a 160GB hard disk. It is not partitioned, all 160GB is entirely C:\. However, I am using only around 40GB. Is there anyway I can partition the hard disk while still keeping Windows? I think I start with a defragment, and after that what next? [03:58] What is _your_ recommendation regarding upgrading from Firefox 3.0 to FF 3.5 - Is it worthwhile, valueable, better than 3.0? [03:58] harisund, yes [03:58] powermac-radeon-: It depends on which card you have. I don't think they will be retiring chipsets from the radeon driver very quickly. [03:58] harisund, you want to use gparted [03:58] harisund: you use a partition editor such as gparted to resize the partition. [03:58] harisund, use the live cd [03:59] thiebaude, mezquitale prince_jammys all right, I will give that a try then I just don't want to lose windows [03:59] thx for the link i see what i was doing wroung now thx [03:59] harisund, just install side by side and your ok [03:59] harisund, make sure to shut windows down properly (no hibernate) and the installer can resize the windows partition for you [03:59] hello, how can I install emerald themes? [03:59] harisund: ALWAYS run checkdisk before you do any partition resizing. [03:59] harisund, if you lose it it's no big loss, just make sure you back up your data though :) [03:59] harisund, and dont touch ntfs,lol [03:59] harisund: Start with a clean filesystem and you have a better chance of ending with a clean filesystem. [04:00] mezquitale, this is a eee 900, i don't have an external DVD drive. Getting to install Windows without a CD rom drive is a pain, Linux not so much [04:00] harisund, you got a usb drive [04:00] !emerald | user01 [04:00] user01: 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. [04:00] ? [04:00] yes [04:00] where is ro file system document ? [04:00] thánks [04:00] !unetbootin [04:00] For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [04:01] thiebaude, I know unetbootin and I was going to use that. Just that if I lose Windows, installing Windows off a USB disk is a chore [04:01] bastidrazor, do you know what is the current alternative? [04:01] harisund, you wont lose windows, just follow the instructions [04:01] thiebaude will do. and obviously i don't want to install on ntfs, or i would have used wubi === dragonlyre is now known as dragonlyre_AWAY [04:02] * thiebaude wubi is another story for another day [04:02] user01: the factoid says there are no known supported alternatives and i don't of any alternative regardless of supported or not. compiz with ccsm is highly configureable. it takes a bit of tweaks to get nice themes [04:02] harisund, you can install to a hard drive with unetbootin [04:03] brb [04:04] so, how to add unetbootin to grub ? [04:04] I want to multi boot betwen unetbootin with grub [04:04] m3onh0x84, i never did that, i dont know how [04:05] m3onh0x84, i've used unetbootin many times === jean-claude is now known as clown2 [04:06] is there any way to put an animated wall paper? [04:07] Has anybody come across an error with an external HD with this showing in the ls: [04:07] d????????? ? ? ? ? ? [04:07] how can I install flashplayer or any youtube video player in ubuntu 64? [04:07] user01: You can with xwinwrap though it's quite old, it still works. You can set a screensaver or movie using it [04:07] wtf [04:07] shouldnt be a ptoblem 2 sec [04:07] someone speack spanizh [04:08] !es [04:08] En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [04:08] user01, google 'compiz animated wallpaper' [04:08] Tactical_Chicken: and you think it is highly stable & reliable? [04:08] What is _your_ recommendation regarding upgrading from Firefox 3.0 to FF 3.5 - Is it worthwhile, valueable, better than 3.0? [04:09] #ubuntu-es [04:09] user01, clicking on the link when you go see a youtube video usually sends you to the right place to download the flash plugin [04:09] rejohn, you can install and try it yourself without upsetting firefox 3 [04:10] user01: there is a (beta) version of Flash for 64bit Linux. [04:10] how do i force emacs to run in the terminal i run it in, like it runs when i ssh into my machine [04:10] mezquitale, I tried downloading the .deb package, but it is not compatible [04:10] user01: or you can play YouTube videos directly in Totem if you're so inclined. [04:10] cellofellow, where can I get it? [04:10] can anybody help me troubleshoot problems with an external hard drive? [04:10] user01: good question... [04:10] eowk223: type vi in your terminal [04:11] eowk223: J/K [04:11] CITguy-Artemis, what is your question? [04:11] :( [04:11] CITguy-Artemis, my bad i just seen your question [04:11] I am having an issue with my 1TB WD My Book external hard drive. [04:12] I initially mounted it in Xubuntu to transfer files to it and somehow there was an input/output error [04:12] Xubuntu showed the transfer successful, but the hard drive isn't registering anything about the directory [04:13] Cyrano_De: lol, i def expected to hear that [04:13] cellofellow, http://www.myscienceisbetter.info/install-adobe-flash-player-10-on-ubuntu-64bit.html [04:13] definitely, sorry [04:13] Neither nautilus nor thunar display the directory [04:13] I can see the following in terminal: [04:13] d????????? ? ? ? ? ? ogg [04:14] CITguy-Artemis: is there a lost+found folder on the drive. [04:14] anto9us: thx - do you use it? do you recommend ff 3.5? [04:14] Would it be reasonably safe to go ahead and install the Karmic beta for daily use? [04:14] oi, how do i turn off mousekeys [04:14] Can someone help me out, I am trying to turn on CTRL + ALT + BKSPC to restart X, and I read the release notes for Jaunty and it says to type "dontzap --disable" in terminal, but when I do that I get the error "The program dontzap is not currently installed. . ." [04:14] user01, a 'sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer' should bring in 64-bit flash [04:14] no [04:15] !dontzap | purpzey [04:15] purpzey: 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. [04:15] how can I open gdesklets? I got the error: failed to execute child process"gdesklets" no such file or folder [04:15] CITguy-Artemis: Is that directed at me? [04:15] rejohn, yes, it's a bit quicker, I also use noscript, adblock and betterprivacy [04:15] purpzey: sudo apt-get install dontzap [04:15] Strife89: no, it was a reply to Cyrano_De [04:15] bastidrazor: Thanks. [04:15] CITguy-Artemis: Ah. [04:16] !fsck [04:16] fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [04:16] Is there an adobe flash player plugin for AMD64 architecture? [04:16] CITguy-Artemis: Incidentally, do you have an opinion about the stability of the Karmic beta? I'm thinking about going ahead and doing a clean install with it. [04:16] CITguy-Artemis: I would unmount the drive and follow the fsck instructions above [04:17] Cyrano_De: Ok, i'll give it a try [04:17] lol bot rox [04:17] hey guys [04:17] !apt-get [04:17] 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) [04:17] :D [04:17] Strife89: Does your job/financial well being depend on your computer being stable and not losing data? [04:17] !karmic [04:17] I have been working on my internet connnection all day and it finally works [04:17] Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 29th, 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [04:17] it was through comcast and their router anyone know why it took so long? [04:17] is there anything like a FOSS version of yousendit.com out there? Please help! [04:17] user01: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html <- that may be the flash player 64bt. [04:18] Strife89: I'm running 8.10 and I'll probably do a fresh install with 10.04 [04:18] Strife89: I won't touch 9.x [04:18] Strife89: notice the "WILL break" part.... [04:18] Cyrano_De: Somewhat, but I do have Windows on another partition. [04:18] me too! [04:18] lol [04:18] cellofellow, I already installed it [04:18] gosh thank god [04:18] cellofellow, thanks [04:18] I friggin hate Winblows! [04:18] Cyrano_De: So, bad idea to install it now? [04:18] CITguy-Artemis: Yeah, 8.10 was WAY more stable than 9.04 have been for me. [04:18] cause thats what it does [04:18] lol [04:18] user01: trying to load it but my Internet is too slow [04:18] Microshaft [04:19] yeah exactly [04:19] how can I open gdesklets? I got the error: failed to execute child process"gdesklets" no such file or folder. I uninstalled-reinstalled, but still the same problem :S [04:19] I tried to connect to internet with Winblows and it wasn't working so comcast told me there is something wrong with my computer [04:19] CITguy-Artemis, Cyrano_De: I couldn't really use 8.10 on this machine. I couldn [04:19] Strife89: That is up to you and how comfortable you are at gambeling. I am not going to run it anytime soon on my main workstation/laptop. [04:19] guess what it was Winblows [04:19] CITguy-Artemis, Cyrano_De: I couldn't really use 8.10 on this machine. I couldn't get Wi-Fi working. [04:19] lol ya [04:20] What is Ubuntu 9.10 going to be like? [04:20] furry [04:20] user01: How did you install gdesklets? [04:20] shawn_: Like 9.04 but more so [04:20] Cyrano_De: I will follow suit and stick with the safe side. I can wait a month. [04:20] can 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] use synaptic package manager [04:20] soreau, using the add/remove from applications [04:20] user01: Does 'which gdesklets' show any output? [04:20] Strife89: What wireless card are you using? [04:20] Cyrano_De I mean are there any big changes planned? [04:20] CITguy-Artemis: Er.... [04:21] CITguy-Artemis: 04:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01) [04:21] shawn_: Faster booting, newer kernel, new versions of gnome and that other desktop. [04:21] shawn_: 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] soreau, bash: /usr/bin/gdesklets: /usr/bin/python2.5: bad interpreter: No such file or directory [04:21] my flash player keeps freezing help === j is now known as Guest17539 [04:21] cellofellow: Oh, Lord. App Store? [04:21] Strife89: and it wouldn't work in 8.10? [04:22] CITguy-Artemis: Nope. [04:22] cellofellow.... App...... Store..... As in pay? [04:22] Strife89: how old is your PC? [04:22] user01: That's weird [04:22] CITguy-Artemis: Unless I missed something. [04:22] Strife89: hadn't heard of the new Ubuntu App Store? [04:22] CITguy-Artemis: About 8-9 months. [04:22] i have similar probs... i have to run a bunch of sudo commands everytime i boot up [04:22] cellofellow: Nope. [04:22] Strife89: I will not use anything but Intel wireless cards for the foreseeable future myself. [04:22] user01: Actually, do you have python 2.5 installed? python --version [04:22] shawn_: 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] Cyrano_De: This is a laptop, so neither will I. :P [04:23] Strife89: The last Dell wireless card I got shafted with was based on an Atheros chip and it was never stable. [04:23] soreau, 2.6.2 [04:23] maybe thats my problem [04:23] Cyrano_De: This is a Toshiba machine. [04:23] sort of wish i bought a mac [04:23] shawn_, no, not at all, that would be against the GPL and oss. [04:23] my flash player keeps freezing help [04:23] soreau, could it be the fact that I use ubuntu in 64 bit? [04:23] user01: That's the problem. It's looking for python 2.5 but you have 2.6 installed. [04:23] Cellofellow I donated 50 dollars to Ubuntu two weeks ago [04:23] Cellofellow do I do donate [04:24] i got the touchscreen to work and the fingerprint reader on my tabpc [04:24] Cellowfellow so* [04:24] soreau, ohh ok, any idea on how to fix it? [04:24] user01: Can you run any other python app like 'ccsm' for example? [04:24] what a chore that was researching [04:24] Strife89: 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] shawn_: I'd expect it to be more like the android app store. Many free, many pay, some donate.... [04:24] shawn_: that's fine [04:24] soreau, yes, it runs [04:24] cellofellow: Ah. [04:24] Looking for a way to have multiple ubuntu machines authenticate logins against one machine? Any suggestions? [04:24] user01: Then I'd say it's a bug with gdesklets. You need a version of it that is for python 2.6 [04:25] So is there a Flash player for 64? [04:25] soreau, hmmm [04:25] shawn_: yes [04:25] ! flash | shawn_ [04:25] shawn_: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [04:25] Cyrano_De, CITguy-Artemis: Anyway, I badly screwed up my graphics drivers due to an experiment of sorts, so I'm reinstalling clean, Karmic or no. [04:25] !ldap |sakara [04:25] sakara: LDAP is the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol. For more information, installation instructions and getting clients to authenticate via LDAP see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenLDAPServer [04:25] soreau, is there any other desklets app? [04:25] Could anyone help me remove the wine folder from GNOME's Applications menu? Alacarte's delete function did not work. [04:25] Sakara, you can use samba for that [04:25] user01: screenlets [04:25] shawn... i am using ubuntu 64 and it installed [04:26] er...i was using it i mean [04:26] mezquitale, seems silly to use a linux backend windows protocol with linux clients [04:26] Strife89: It's worth a try. If it doesn't work, you'll just be back where you started. [04:26] is there a nice way to do it natively [04:26] Cyrano_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] Strife89: don't use it [04:26] ya...you can't run nero [04:26] Sakara, network authentication links here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Servers [04:26] lol [04:26] Sakara, LDAP would be a better choice [04:26] CITguy-Artemis: Not very stable? [04:27] Strife89: the problem with 64-bit isn't the OS, but the lack of 64-bit applications [04:27] Strife89: it fixes the 2038 problem [04:27] CITguy-Artemis: Ah. [04:27] matt-: Sorry, but the what? [04:27] soreau, thanks [04:27] user01: no problem [04:27] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2038_problem [04:28] Hello, [04:28] CITguy-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] my flash player keeps freezing help [04:28] I 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...... [04:29] cellofellow: yeah, I realize that but I'd rather have a .deb or something that takes the hassle out of it [04:29] matt-: Ah. [04:29] Strife89: 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] matt-: Makes sense. [04:29] I 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] cellofellow: do you know of any performance advantages to 64-bit? [04:29] Cyrano_De: Note taken. [04:29] what is the technical term when you use a server as a repository of user logins and their passwords? [04:29] CITguy-Artemis: Ubuntu has 64bit repositories for a reason. Chock full of 64bit-compatible binary debs. [04:30] CITguy-Artemis: as far as I know just greater memory usage than 4GB. [04:30] hello 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] cellofellow: so there's no noticeable difference if I'm running with 2GB of ram? [04:30] ! flash | metajemo [04:30] metajemo: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [04:30] 's keyboard does not like ubuntu.... [04:31] MetaBot: You probably just need to install flashplugin-nonfree and restart your browser [04:31] metajemo: You probably just need to install flashplugin-nonfree and restart your browser [04:31] mezquitale, I'd call it an authentication server [04:31] Damn this channel [04:31] mezquitale: a directory server maybe? I think there are ways to do it besides directories though. [04:31] CITguy-Artemis: most likely no. [04:31] yeah [04:31] CITguy-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] !karmic [04:31] Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 29th, 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [04:31] mezquitale, domain controller in windows speak. [04:32] ubottu, soreau: thank you, i will give it a try one more time [04:32] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [04:32] What does ubottu mean by will break? [04:32] CITguy-Artemis: 64bit on the other hand gets you up into I think the petabytes, perhaps the exabytes. [04:32] cellofellow: I see. thx [04:32] ls there a preffered channel for help with ubuntu? [04:32] shawn_: It means Karmic is not very stable yet. [04:32] cellofellow: 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] I am guessing that this is more general ubuntu talk [04:32] CITguy-Artemis: I was reading. :) [04:32] yes....exabytes [04:32] is it possible to make scrolling pixel by pixel? [04:32] Slinkeey: this one [04:32] cellofellow: pointless for desktops? (imo) [04:32] oh ok [04:32] cool [04:32] Slinkeey: general talk is ubuntu-offtopic [04:32] durt, cellofellow anto9us I guess it's domain controller in windows speak, what software would you recommend to use as a domain controller in linux? [04:32] ok [04:32] How do I delete folders in the applications menu without alacarte? [04:33] Well, it's late, and I do need this computer operational tomorrow. Let the reinstall of Jaunty begin. [04:33] Slinkeey: This is the support channel. [04:33] lol [04:33] Has anyone heard of the the curser bouncing around from line to line when typing at times? [04:33] Never mind [04:33] I got it deleted [04:33] is there a way to "disable" the visibility of a network on a computer but still use it for an iptables software router? [04:34] CITguy-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] mezquitale, same, just using samba, but it would still be for windows clients. [04:34] With both Vista and Windows 7 Microsoft promised they'd be 64bit only. They reniged on that. [04:34] mezquitale, for compatibility at OS level samba might be a good choice [04:35] Cyrano_De: I'm getting a bunch of the same error in the syslog: "FAT: Directory bread(block ....) failed" [04:35] CITguy-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] how often is too often to ask a question? [04:35] don't want to be a flooder [04:35] til ya get an answer [04:35] \lol [04:35] hehehe [04:35] Slinkeey: try asking different questions [04:36] i only have one [04:36] :) [04:36] Slinkeey: I mean a different way [04:36] oh ok [04:36] Hello, I am trying to disable my touchpad folowing this article http://embraceubuntu.com/2006/09/20/disable-touchpad-temporarily-when-typing/ but it doesnt work. here is my xorg.conf http://pastebin.com/d1e23392c Please help me to disable my touchpad. [04:36] Slinkeey, depends how fast things are moving, if you're not getting an answer it may be a good idea to rephrase it [04:36] flashplugin-nonfree installed, browser restarted, still it is not running [04:36] hey - is here someone familiar with vlc ? can't get the web based stream to work:/ [04:37] Does anyone know anything about Acer Notebook keyboards acting funny with ubuntu? (Fine With Windows) [04:37] Slinkeey: what do you mean by "bouncing around" ? is it possible that maybe you have a touchpad, that you are inadvertently activating with your palms? === mike is now known as Guest34379 === Guest34379 is now known as Gilboman007 === Gilboman007 is now known as gilboman007 [04:37] hi...has anybody recently installed Ubuntu on a MacBook pro 13" ?? I need some info. I just want to talk to someone who is actually using it on current generations of MacBooks... [04:37] Slinkeey: you sure it's the keyboard? What's the actual symptons, sans diagnosis? [04:37] send me the mac and i'll answer yur q's [04:37] lol [04:37] hello.. I am trying to install php5-xcache on 8.10 server, but aptitude can't find the package.. How do I determine how to configure my sources.list to get this package? [04:37] CITguy-Artemis: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/peripherals-hardware/15026-usb-key-help-2.html <---Looks like it might have similar issue [04:37] excalibas: have you tried system->preferences->mouse->touchpad? [04:38] you guys rock [04:38] (is there still a channel for ubuntu on apple hardware or did that die with the ppc port?) [04:38] basix: you might do better by just asking the specific questions you have... [04:38] metajemo: in the address bar, type about:plugins & check if flash is installed [04:38] juand: maybe it's named something else [04:38] Well 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 page [04:38] zenlunatic, Woo, that was easy :) thanks a lot! [04:38] The curser wil cut into the middle of my email and start typing... [04:38] juand: in aptitude just search for "php5-" and see what you get (/ key to search)/ [04:38] gilboman007: ehrm... thanks? :) [04:39] excalibas: no proplem [04:39] cellofellow: I've done that.. the package doesn't show up... it does on my 9.04 box [04:39] nanotube, i'm looking to purchase a MacBook pro but I wont if it wont run Linux well. I'm a power user but I love the ease with which Ubuntu works so I am not looking at compiling and installing drivers on the MacBook. I'm ok with configuring / making some settings but I dont want to end up compiling my kernel... [04:39] juand, add universe repository [04:39] i have shockwave flash File name: libswfdecmozilla.so Shockwave Flash 9.0 r999 [04:39] juand: You can try adding the backports repository as well in software-sources [04:39] i had a similar prob to that...but when i updated via Update Manager the jumping around went away [04:40] juand: ok... [04:40] ok no stupid question does yum updates still work or no [04:40] juand: php5-xcache is in the universe repository. enable universe, refresh, try again [04:40] nanotube, hence i need someone with recent experiences... [04:40] anto9us: I have this: deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu intrepid-security main universe [04:40] been away from linux for a while [04:40] hello, how to install .bin.sh file? [04:40] juand, now do sudo apt-get update [04:40] metajemo: swfdec isn't adobe flash. [04:40] gilboman007: yum is a redhat/centos/yellowdog package manager. [04:40] anto9us: did.. still the sme [04:40] !yum [04:40] Uh, don't you mean !apt ? [04:40] * same [04:40] juand: do sudo apt-get update -y; sudo apt-get upgrade -y; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -y [04:40] metajemo: that's old flash ... what's version of ubuntu? [04:40] yeah the jumping is wierd... [04:41] basix: ah... in that case... good luck. :) if nobody here has any direct experience, try googling around... [04:41] just made the switch to kubuntu still learning [04:41] ValentineX: first, don't. Find a deb or a source package before installing a bin. [04:41] metajemo: swfdec is actually based on gstreamer, while adobe flash is the official flash player. [04:41] !apt | gilboman007 [04:41] gilboman007: 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) [04:41] juand, it's definitely showing for me under universe/web [04:41] IcemanV9: 9.04 [04:41] slinkeey....does it happen in all apps with text input or just email and firefox? [04:41] well notepad firefox [04:41] * cellofellow keeps meaning to install KDE on his box for a try. Haven't used KDE in about 3 years. [04:41] gilboman007: apt-get is similar to yum but 10 times faster and has more human readable errors. [04:41] anto9us: juand: yea, showing here on 8.10 under universe, too... [04:41] not in this pidgin [04:41] metajemo: abode flash uses libflashplayer.so 10.0 r32 [04:42] nanotube, 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] bluetooth mouse? [04:42] but the pidgin app might be limiting me to one line [04:42] nope [04:42] anto9us: I have these 2 lines: deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu intrepid-security main universe AND deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu intrepid-security main universe is that all that's needed? [04:42] ok, now as i was saying, is there a way to "disable" the visibility of a network on a computer but still use it for an iptables software router? [04:42] cellofellow: where can i find java wireless toolkit in .deb [04:42] er...wireless mouse i mean? [04:42] nope [04:42] hhmm [04:42] just touchpad [04:42] yeah you guys are alot more help you guys rock [04:42] ValentineX: good question... [04:42] maybe i will disable it and plug in a mouse [04:42] just for kicks [04:42] metajemo: you need to remove mozilla flash (cannot remember the actual deb package name) [04:42] ya....i'd try that [04:43] IcemanV9:right, what folder should i get this file into ? [04:43] Slinkeey: well, try disabling it and see if cursor still 'bounces'... if not, you know the source of the problem. [04:43] could be touchpad sensitivity is up way too high but this should tell ya if that's the case === Cyrano_De is now known as Cyrano_Zz [04:43] cellofellow: i also wanted .deb but failed to get that unable to get from googling [04:43] one last question am i still getting rpm or somthing else [04:43] MTec007: 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. [04:44] gilboman007: apt uses .deb packages, not .rpm [04:44] MTec007: oops [04:44] thats why flash dosnt work [04:44] metajemo: that above was for you [04:44] i will get there one day guys i promise [04:44] gilboman007: if you must install rpm you use alien, but that's not recommended. [04:44] Ok.. I think it is the touchpad [04:44] ValentineX: what is it that you are installing again? [04:44] I just turned it off while typing [04:44] gilboman007: to install flash, just install from the repositories package "flashplayer-nonfree" [04:44] and it typed a paragraph in gmail [04:45] cellofellow: java wireless development toolkit [04:45] cellofellow: got it [04:45] Slinkeey: that's supposed to be a "feature" that keeps you from moving the cursor while typing. It's in the synaptics driver. [04:45] brb [04:45] metajemo: is this package, mozilla-plugin-gnash, installed? if so, remove it. adobe flash should be working. [04:45] I turned it on and the problem returned [04:46] my notebook has an on and off button for the pad [04:46] im trying to install google gadgets but it says i need this Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libltdl3 (>= 1.5.2-2) [04:46] can someone help [04:46] prolly need a driver update for it [04:46] IcemanV9: mozilla-plugin-gnash - free swf.... -not installed [04:46] I think it is because the side of my thumb pumps the scroll up and down portion of my touchpad [04:46] what laptop do you have? [04:47] webbb82: install libltdl7-dev [04:47] Cheap Acer Aspire 5536 [04:47] it does me well for the most part [04:47] metajemo: ok. did you installed flashplugin-nonfree as cellofellow suggested some time ago? [04:47] hello i am special give me ubuntu 10.04 first of all [04:48] hhhmmmm i installed ubuntu onto my wifes acer model similar to yours.... it did the same exact thing....never did get it figured out [04:48] IdleOne, it says i already have it installed [04:48] was running 8.04 back then [04:48] ValentineX: 10.04 isn't even in development yet. Only thing about it so far is that there is a new codename for it, Lucid Lynx. [04:48] um [04:48] which ubuntu you running now? [04:48] 9.04 [04:48] ah... [04:48] it is not a bad notebook for the price [04:48] no it isn't [04:48] webbb82: hmmm not sure what to tell you now [04:48] From terminal, how do you show the contents of a folder (like an ls) without cding into it? [04:48] runs a little hot [04:49] great for the livingroom [04:49] remyo: ls /the/dir [04:49] IcemanV9: flashplugin-nonfree, adobe-flashplugin,flashplugin-installer v 10.0.32.18... - installed [04:49] remyo: you can use relative paths too like ls ../anotherdir [04:49] webbb82, how are you trying to install, google gadgets is in the repos. [04:49] lucid lynx hmm [04:49] cellofellow: Ah, that makes sense [04:49] remyo: more details with ls --help [04:49] cellofellow: Thanks [04:49] Cyrano_Zz: I managed to find the fix here: http://www.delodder.be/blog/linux/fat_get_cluster-invalid-cluster-chain-i_pos-0-fat-filesystem-panic-dev/ [04:49] really? [04:50] remyo, ~ is a shortcut to your home folder too [04:50] yessss.... you have to pull the heatsink off the cpu and clean them off then apply Arctic Silver 5 paste to the cpu... i did that and the temp dropped by 8 degrees in Celsius [04:50] that's the error i was also getting [04:50] go here http://www.arsgeek.com/2008/07/07/get-google-gadgets-up-and-running-on-your-ubuntu-install/ [04:50] metajemo: you should be all set. shutdown the browser and start it again. check if it is installed by type about:plugins in the address bar [04:50] hey guys. i'm looking for a new computer setup. would like to know, would raid0 or raid1 be better /noob [04:50] anto9us: I know, :) [04:50] can i make the touchpad turn off while typing? [04:50] Seeing as 10.04 will be an LTS and the other two previous LTS releases were named for birds (Drake, Heron) I think Lucid Loon would have been better. Has a kind of oxymoronic irony. [04:50] don't see how [04:51] oh is yurs a button or a combo of the function button and a key to turn it off? [04:51] so tar.gz [04:51] don't remember my wife's comp anymore [04:51] I'm looking to purchase a new server, should I go with raid0 or raid1? (server needs to have 3 vpses hosted on it) [04:52] ayep [04:52] button rught next to the pad [04:52] right [04:52] hhmmm [04:52] Anonyomus: try ask that question in #ubuntu-server? [04:52] Anonyomus: #ubuntu-server may have better advice for servers. [04:52] turn off the pad [04:52] dunno...unless yur a hard typer [04:52] Anonyomus, raid0 for speed, raid1 for integrity [04:52] I will do it manually for now [04:52] with that button [04:52] work on this tomorrow going to bed [04:52] when typing long stuff [04:52] Anonyomus: raid0 is fast, raid1 is safe [04:53] Is there a channel for jeos? [04:53] IcemanV9: All tabs closed, browser restarted, about:plugins opened - still no other flash than shockwave. I also logged off and logged back in as was suggested by a website. it did not do the trick either [04:53] freenose, searchirc.com [04:53] thanx again for your help [04:53] anonymous needs to read the meaning of raid0 and raid1 ...dontcha think? very self explanatory [04:53] lol [04:54] I am having trouble with postfix... I setup an alias file with the line "root: neil".... but when I use "sendmail root@localhost" it put the email in the file /var/mail/nobody :( I thought it was to put it in /var/mail/neil... what is wrong? === prince_j1mmys is now known as prince_jammys [04:54] libflashplayer.so is just not there [04:54] metajemo: it should be working as you mentioned shockwave flash. that's odd. may i ask what's the url address so i can test to see if it's website side or your PC problem? [04:55] espn.com is perfect site to test it [04:55] IcemanV9: www.vbox7.com - choose any video [04:55] http://www.ubuntu-inside.me/2009/03/howto-disable-touchpad-while-typing.html [04:55] might try this [04:55] i will try it [04:55] raid0= speed and more space and double the buffer....raid1= redundancy...meaning 1 hard drive fails..the other steps in to replace it... [04:56] I need help with the printer interfacing with Ubuntu [04:56] metajemo: it's working fine (even with the sound) .. so it's your PC. === Raistlin1 is now known as Raistl|n [04:56] Hello, anybody here? [04:56] i`d like some help [04:57] stephen_: printer interfacing in ubuntu is super easy. what's your issue? [04:57] if yur using onbaord raid then good friggin luck with that.....not very stable for a server.... i recommend raid0 for the space and speed for virtualization [04:57] i deleted my /var/lib/dpkg by mistake... [04:57] zubin71: just ask [04:57] ok i got google gadgets installed but rite after it starts it will crash for some reason [04:57] just do it with an add-on raid card [04:57] trip0: anyway i can restore it? [04:58] zubin71: you may want to copy that file back from a diff computer. apt-get is broken isn't it? [04:58] or put in 4 hard drives and use both raid1 and raid0...lol [04:58] trip0: very much [04:58] IcemanV9: i doubt it is the pc itself, it is rather something i am not doing right. any ideas how to install libflashplayer.so manually? [04:58] webbb82: I just installed using this link from getdeb http://www.getdeb.net/download/4635/0 [04:58] webbb82: seems to be stable here [04:58] I have a old Xerox Docuprint N17 laser connected by USB. I installed the driver and it appears just fine. However, when I print, it prints out garbage and the spooler says that the printed is not connected. Any ideas? [04:58] trip0: isnt there any way i can rebuild the required files based on the fies which are already present? [04:59] metajemo: i didn't meant your pc. just something's not right on your pc. this is far as i know. [04:59] trip0: i dont have an ubuntu machine nearby, si its quite a prob.. [04:59] hi everyone, anybody have any idea why i cant ping my laptop (192.168.1.65) from another laptop (192.168.1.67), but as soon as I ping 192.168.1.67 from 65, connectivity works both ways? [05:00] any other ideas guys? problem is "i have to restore /var/lib/dpkg" [05:00] zubin71: how about a ubunt cd? [05:00] trip0: you mean copy them from a live cd? [05:00] trip0: but what bout all the additional packages i have installed? [05:01] are there any gnome 2.28 packages for 9.04 yet [05:01] IcemanV9: do you know where i can find all the others *.so files?the path to them? should they be in ~/.mozilla ? [05:02] IdleOne, what ubuntu version are you running [05:02] webbb82: 9.04 [05:02] im on 9.10 [05:02] webbb82: that probably explains it [05:02] webbb82: me too, aint it great [05:03] ya i like it but i keep wondering if i should install jaunty so i can get things like google gadgets to work [05:03] webbb82: 9.10 is having a hard enough time running it's own gadgets :) [05:03] Question: How do I get automake 1.11 installed on Ubuntu Jaunty? It's coming for Karmic. === rnk is now known as stick_figure [05:04] webbb82: #ubuntu+1 for Karmic support [05:04] rnk automake 1.11 is in jaunty backports [05:04] i just installed winxp on an already dual booted ubuntu machine, when i loaded ubuntu live and reinstalled grub, i didnt get my grub menu back, can anyone help me with that? [05:04] i know n o one talks in there [05:04] trip0, is there a line in my sources.list to uncomment? [05:04] i have jaunty and xp on one HDD and intrepid on another [05:05] stick_figure: yes, uncomment the backporst one [05:05] :P [05:05] I have a question. I currently have my compy setup with two partitions. one setup as XP and one as Ubuntu. I was using it to test it out. how do I drop XP and combine the partitions [05:05] IceMansicle: use gparted [05:05] metajemo: /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ [05:05] webbb82: probably because they are dealing with xorg issues and pulseaudio issues, google-gadgets is low on the totem pole [05:05] thanks trip [05:05] IceMansicle: Fire up a liveCD, delete the windows partitions and expand the Ubuntu ones. The only thing you might need to do then is tweak GRUB slightly [05:05] ya [05:05] Is Ubuntu 9.10 stable enough to be used ? I'm on a ThinkPad laptop and graphics are terribly slow, apparenly this problem is solved in Ubuntu 9.10... [05:06] !karmic | Shinka [05:06] Shinka: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 29th, 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [05:06] metajemo: i gotta sign off; need sleep for being primary on-call. i hope you can get it working. good luck. [05:06] Shinka: wait another month till it is released [05:06] Shinka: it hasn't been officially released yet, but it's in the late alpha stages and will likely enter beta soon [05:07] lstarnes: on the 1st [05:07] on or about* [05:07] which grub mbr do i want to reinstate in that case? [05:08] no joy, the backports (jaunty-backports) line is uncommented, I did apt-get update, and I can't install automake-1.11 [05:08] I was wondering if anyone knows what it signifies when a package has the "+" symbol in the name? The language packs to be specific is what i am speaking of. When I put new updates onto my flashdrive updates repository disk and then go and try to install them all, they all seem to install fine except for the language packs. Synaptic always throws a broken package fit with them and am forced to download them. I need this for offline package management. [05:09] anyone able to point me into the right direction? [05:10] does anyone know of any documents on how to upgrade 9.04 to gnome 2.28? [05:10] krdyt, what's the problem? [05:10] I dont understand why it wants to keep downloading the exact same language pack that i already have on the repo flashdrive for updates. Only thing i can think of is maybe the + in the name signifies to always look for a new version online maybe? === kaie is now known as Guest49637 [05:10] deeproot: Wait for 9.10 [05:10] hey guys. [05:11] So, I have an interesting question. [05:11] One I've scoured a number of sources for - and so far, no luck. [05:11] i had 2 installs of ubuntu, jaunty on one HDD, interepid on another. i needed win xp for adobe photoshop so i installed winxp onto the drive that jaunty is on === matthew is now known as Guest6640 === feross is now known as mikinanuq [05:11] How can I install a program (let's say Singularity) to a flash drive, such that it can be played on other Debian systems? [05:11] DarkHam now i need the grub to list them all [05:12] i just installed 9.04 and my drivers dont work.. how can i make all the special effects work with out drivers? [05:12] Alternately, how can I put something a flash drive so that I can INSTALL it to another Ubuntu box - one without any kind of network? [05:12] krdyt, what problem it have? [05:13] killed his jaunty boot prolly [05:13] lol [05:13] i dont even get my grub menu anymore to select which os to boot darkham [05:13] cuz mbr got overwritten [05:13] im on jaunty right now [05:14] i dont care about the jaunty, i want intrepid. all files are there for all 2 OS [05:14] Tvmbledown, 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/apps [05:15] I'm a little behind the learning curve on dependencies, honestly... [05:15] ya.... i made that mistake b4....i just used a live cd and grabbed all my files off and then reinstalled linux [05:15] blech, 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] i want to install my MBR grub with intrepid on it [05:15] seemed easier to me than tryin to figure out how to repair the grub [05:16] Tvmbledown, maybe have a bootable flash drive with your app already installed [05:16] title Ubuntu 9.04, kernel 2.6.28-13-generic (on /dev/sda1) [05:16] root (hd0,0) [05:16] thats my jaunty partition [05:16] krdyt, watch grub.conf [05:16] windows MUST go on first and then linux.....so that linux can write the mbr [05:17] anto9us: That's actually a BRILLIANT idea. [05:17] 0 === hcl is now known as sak === dragonlyre_AWAY is now known as dragonlyre [05:17] Tactical_Chicken, I think you can just say 'grub-install /dev/sdX' or some similar [05:17] Tvmbledown, it's sometimes a good idea to look at things sideways :) [05:17] from the livecd? [05:17] /boot/grub/stage1 [05:17] that will put grub back in the boot sector [05:18] but im not sure which partition to restore [05:18] will any one tell me how 2 download yahoo messenger for upuntu [05:18] either from the livecd or from any Ubuntu === prince_j1mmys is now known as prince_jammys [05:18] i have 2 grubs and only use 1. win xp over wrote them [05:18] I don't really know these things for sure, but look up grub-install and check how you're supposed to use it [05:18] doh@me [05:18] well, took control, they are still there untouched [05:19] any suggestions for my printer?| [05:19] whats the command to tell me what drives i have?

[05:22] look what anto9us said to you [05:22] but i refer yahoo only was there any link 2 download it [05:23] sak: pidgin supports yahoo [05:23] no..yahoo does not exist..... if you want it to use yahoo in linux then you have to use pidgin [05:23] k fine i try ........ [05:23] sak, http://messenger.yahoo.com/ directly from the web [05:23] soreau: http://pastebin.com/m3dbc991a [05:23] sak: you could also try running the windows version of yahoo's messenger in wine [05:23] LOL [05:24] bet he ends up likin pidgin better than yahoo client [05:24] BassKozz: Your drivers are b0rken. If you would like to come to #compiz and pastebin your X log, I will help you further [05:25] soreau: AWESOME... on my way... [05:25] Can you cat a file with color. Similar to grep --color?

Check who allocates addresses to your clients and make sure it's not handing out duplicates or illegal addresses...

[05:38] losher its a hardware ap using its own dhcp server [05:38] abhilashm86, FYI only -- you can't have different wallpaper on each workspace unless you disable Nautilus from drawing your background (meaning you can't see ANY icons on your desktop) [05:38] kitty_: dunno what else to tell you, you've already heard everything I know about martians... [05:38] soreau: yea i disabled it, in gconf-editor->nautilus [05:39] abhilashm86: and? [05:39] soreau: i got the error, i've mounted my hard drives in different names, now i'm changing it in compiz!! thanks i'l just do n reply.......... [05:40] Would anyone be willing to talk me through adding a native Linux driver to my system. I've just transitioned from windows [05:40] hi, is anyone running enlightenment desktop? where can i get engage for e17? [05:40] mack: What hardware? [05:41] kitty_: either the dhcp server is misconfigured and handing out non-unique or otherwise illegal addresses, or whoever is objecting to the martian addresses is giving you false positives. I hope this helps... [05:41] i need hep with windows 7, where to go? [05:41] dlink wireless usb [05:41] what is the name of the deskbar which is mac style? [05:41] Terry: ##windows [05:41] how [05:41] ##windows [05:41] Terry: type "/join ##windows" and hit enter [05:41] user01, Avant? AWN for short? [05:41] I have the Linux driver, which they provided, but don't know how to add it. [05:41] i know have shockwave 9 and 10 plugins for mozilla. how can i remove the 9 version, olease [05:41] thanx...done. [05:42] Terry? [05:43] mack: If a driver came with the hardware then that driver is also most likely already in Ubuntu. [05:43] metajemo, they are both probably from the same plugin -- you kinda want both to be able to play both's contents [05:43] It wouldn't recognize the device. [05:43] mack: what device is it? [05:43] I can install with ndiswrapper, but I'd like to use the native driver [05:44] mack: What is the chipset of the card ( you should be able to find it with lsusb ) and what is the name of the driver they provide? [05:44] how do i upgrade to karmic and keep my apps installed? [05:45] kruykaze: #ubuntu+1 for Karmic questions, thanks. [05:45] mack, are you sure your Dlink isn't supported through Ubuntu's native Hardware Drivers interface? Have you first installed all available updates? [05:45] kruykaze: if you have to ask, you aren't ready for karmic anyway... [05:46] :) [05:46] I pulled the driver from their site, I can find chipset if you really need it, driver's name is wpa_supplicant-0.5.10.tar.gz . I am really new to Linux, so I don't know what to do with a tar . Silly, I know. [05:46] I was not going to do it until the stable is out [05:47] hi all. [05:47] kruykaze: that'll be a while if 9.04 is anything to go by... [05:47] I've installed all available updates already [05:48] anyone happened to get the game Total Annihilation working through wine on a 64bit 9.04? it works flawlessly for me under 32bit 9.04. [05:48] i've got an hp mini 1035nr, and i'm running UNR Jaunty, and i'm not getting any audio at all. [05:48] TheBlue -- Hey [05:48] yo, Bluey [05:48] losher, the question just popped in my mind so asked [05:49] kruykaze: fair enough. My advice is, it's really not ready for primetime, so don't bother yet... [05:49] ZykoticK9: Shockwave Flash 9.0 r999 and Shockwave Flash 10.0 r32. Do i really need them both? [05:49] hola [05:50] hi [05:50] kruykaze: When a new version is released you will see an offer to upgrade in System > Administration > Update Manager [05:50] jello [05:50] Zykotick9, when I use the native Hardware Drivers Interface, nothing stated, no proprietary driver in use [05:50] MetaBot, i'd recommend you just leave them both - but it's up to you [05:50] losher, it was more of a general question every 6mo i upgrade but use the cd to avoid problems.how do i at least keep a list of the installed stuff to reinstall it [05:50] mack have you run all the updates with a wired connection? [05:50] mack: wpa_supplicant is not a driver [05:51] kruykaze: in terminal type sudo update-manager -d [05:51] mack: have you tried installing the wpasupplicant package in the repositories? [05:51] whats your fav txt editor?????? [05:51] webbb82, OT (but vi rules!) [05:51] kruykaze: there's a trick to getting the list of installed stuff so you can reinstall later. I [05:51] legend2440, that always breaks stuff for me like my wifi drivers for example etc.. [05:51] hola [05:51] hola [05:51] ZykoticK9, whats ot [05:51] mack: It won't help you at all if you card isn't recognized ( and a better supported version of wpa_supplicant comes with Ubuntu ) [05:52] fresh install of 9.04 on boot "GRUB " floods the screen over and over again. want to try use a different boot loader. can anyone help me do this [05:52] webbb82: off-topic [05:52] whats vi then [05:52] webbb82: an editor [05:52] mack: Can you pastebin the output from running "lsusb" in a terminal? [05:52] webbb82, opened ended questions like "what's your fav..." [05:52] webbb82: vim is usually used instead of vi, but it's based on vi [05:53] kruykaze: there's actually a trick to getting the list of installed stuff so you can reinstall later. It's in the dpkg man page at the end under EXAMPLES. See dpkg --get-selections [05:53] Jordan - Just for the heck of it, how would I install a file like this? Do I use a command line? [05:53] ya i like to stimulate conversationg that way [05:53] Sakara: I would try using grub2 [05:53] hello there. [05:53] lstarnes, webbb82 OH ya - in Ubuntu the FIRST thing you need to do is install VIM - arrow keys are very ugly with the default! [05:54] i'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] ZykoticK9, vim is the whole name? [05:54] webbb82: yes [05:54] webbb82: it's short for vi improved, but is almost always called vim [05:55] cool thanks [05:55] mack: 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 terminal [05:55] where is the ubuntu help chan? [05:55] krdyt: this is it [05:55] oh [05:55] mack: 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... [05:56] webbb82, 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 linux [05:56] can you help me make my windows partition show up in grub lstarnes ? === bbalajirao is now known as hey_boy [05:56] dpkg --get-selections >myselections ? [05:56] I'm trying to recompile the kernel packages in Jaunty, but I can't install the linux-kernel-devel package. [05:56] krdyt: I am not good at configuring grub. sorry [05:57] guys, which is the best backup program in Ubuntu 9.04. For personal files. [05:57] it under /dev/sda3 and jaunty is in /dev/sda1-5, anyone know? [05:57] I see a lot of them [05:57] kruykaze: that's the one. Try it. It will generate a list of all currently installed packages and their states. [05:57] awesome thanks i will try it as soon as i get home :) [05:57] Jordan_U: Can grub2 be installed onto a system that is unbootable? [05:58] krdyt: sda3 is probably (hd0,2) [05:58] mack: 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] Jordan, Losher- I got it, bad idea. [05:58] Sakara: Yes [05:59] mack: and the wrong solution for your problem. What is the device you're trying to get working? [05:59] krdyt, 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] webbb82, by the way, i'd recommend installing vimtutor as well. [05:59] Sakara: Do you know what chroot means? [05:59] jaunty is sda 1 2 4 5 [05:59] It's a Dlink usb wireless card [05:59] xp took sda3 [06:00] to some extent [06:00] Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System [06:00] /dev/sda1 1 6327 50821596 83 Linux [06:00] /dev/sda2 6328 6589 2104515 5 Extended [06:00] /dev/sda3 * 6590 19451 103314015 7 HPFS/NTFS [06:00] /dev/sda5 6328 6589 2104483+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris [06:00] krdyt: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:00] sorry ;\ [06:01] there is not sda4 [06:01] ZykoticK9: krdyt: actually, I would expect 3 partitions to be in use. root, home and swap. Given that 4 is an extended partition, and 5 is a logical partition inside it, things look normal... [06:01] krdyt, jaunty is technically on sda1 and a linux swap is on sda5 [06:01] Jordan_U: I simply mount the drive from a live session chroot and apt-get grub2? [06:01] Does this make sense: Runing the scripts accomplish all operations including building up modules [06:01] from the source code, installing driver to the kernel and starting up the nic. [06:01] 1. Build up the drivers from the source code [06:01] make [06:01] 2. Install the driver to the kernel [06:01] mack: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:01] make install [06:01] Sakara: Almost [06:01] mack, you need to use Pastebin [06:01] Thanks Floodbot3 [06:02] krdyt: didn't grub install an entry for windows automatically when you installed Ubuntu? [06:02] ok so to add that to my grub list what would i do for it to boot xp? [06:02] no it screwed everything up [06:03] Sakara: 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] krdyt: which version of Ubuntu did you install? [06:03] i have 2 HDD with 2 ubuntu installs, i halved the jaunty since i dont use it often then it overran all and didnt add to anything [06:03] does anyone have a good suggestion for a wireless usb stick? I'd prefer someone have one that is verified to work in linux before i go out and buy one. [06:03] Sakara: Sorry, forgot the "-o bind" in the second two mount commands [06:03] i installed XP over Jaunty [06:03] well not over but on same disk seperate partition [06:04] grim4593: i am using Linksys WUSB610N [06:04] krdyt: do u use wubi or what ? [06:04] ok [06:04] Okay, thanks guys, I guess I'm going to educate myself for a while and come back when I'm not quite so ignorant. Peace! [06:04] no vxr [06:04] grim4593: PCI cards are much more likely to be supported than USB dongles [06:04] does it work out of the box, or do you need mdis? [06:04] i know. [06:05] krdyt: oh, oke. [06:05] everythings been find since jaunty was released [06:05] grim4593: it works right out of box. [06:05] okay. i'll look into it then [06:05] then i used gparted live to halve my jaunty partition because i NEED xp [06:05] well, i already have a dlink pci card that works great. i had a netgear usb adapter, but i had to give it to a friend. [06:05] grim4593, i keep a Netgear WG111v2 lying around just in case - which works under 9.04 for sure [06:05] so xp is still here, just not in grub boot menu [06:05] that is exactly what i had. [06:06] i might jsut get another one. [06:06] krdyt: you can try adding a windows xp entry by hand to your /boot/grub/menu.lst file [06:06] hmm. newegg only has V3's [06:06] the alfa awus036h works with 9.04 :-) [06:07] krdyt, this post might help http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=192435 [06:07] http://paste.ubuntu.com/277620/ [06:07] Jordan_U: /dev/sda1 -> /media/ubuntu, /proc -> /media/ubuntu/proc, /sys -> /media/ubuntu/sys, /dev -> /media/ubuntu/dev all done [06:07] hola [06:07] Jordan_U: chroot /media/ubuntu /bin/bad?

[06:09] Sakara: It will ask if you want to chainload grub2 or install it, since grub-legacy isn't loading chainloading won't work so choose the option to install grub2 replacing grub-legacy [06:09] Jordan_U: makes sense [06:09] Eevee, i think you want the irc channel #ubuntu+1 [06:10] I have a USB bluetooth adapter, but it doesn't work since i installed blueman :( [06:10] I'm not sure it's strictly a karmic thing; googling turns up reports going back years, but never with a concrete cause or solution === rp3_ is now known as Rp3 [06:11] losher, here is my grubloader http://paste.ubuntu.com/277621/ would the last 5 lines work?

[06:14] Eevee, I was really just trying to be polite as I have NO ideas on your specific problem AND typically when you are using any BETA versions of Ubuntu support in the main IRC channel is discouraged [06:14] doesn't make sense that both grub and grub2 won't work [06:14] axle: if you need help with windows, please join ##windows and ask there. This channel is for ubuntu only [06:14] losher: hahaha touché [06:14] Sakara: Do you only have one drive in your machine?

[06:47] losher thank you, i don't know how i missed that [06:47] it is easiest if you are running nvidia or ati binary drivers. the drivers help you set it up. else i think you have to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf there are tutorials out there for that... [06:47] ah, the "restricted" drivers? [06:48] yes [06:48] okay [06:48] if nvidia... run 'gksu nvidia-settings' [06:48] that'd be it for me [06:48] I'll remember that when I am finished installing [06:49] thank you so much :) [06:49] yep [06:49] May I ask: What is the dialout group used for? [06:49] Jordan_U: you might know the answer to this? is there a theme for ubuntu that makes it almost exactly the same as windows xp [06:49] mrgenericuser: Most of the open source drivers support xrandr so you can use System > Preferences > Display to set up dual monitors without touching your xorg.conf manually [06:50] Jordan_U: my users are older folks who don't like change all that much [06:50] Sakara: It's not going to fool anyone but the redmond theme looks like the classic windows theme [06:50] i'm almost frightened to install the drivers for my graphics card, because whenever i do, my monitor goes blank and i am unable to use Ubuntu again. i then have to reinstall the whole darn thing!

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? [08:10] Ileden-> how was it mounted? type mount [08:10] ricew: /dev/mapper/vg-lv0 on /media/t type ext4 (rw,commit=600) [08:11] ricew: It's mounted without any specified mount options.

[08:12] ricew: It doesn't seem to be doing anything wrong, though. When I connect the card and remount it, everything seems ok... [08:12] Hi, guys. Back with another set of interesting questions. [08:12] Ileden: i think it's getting cached. always unmount, i've lost entire flash drive contents by not unmounting... [08:12] Laughing_God, it is Ubuntu, of course :-) [08:13] Hi guys, wondering if anyone knows a command i can use to auto start a program (conky in this case) 60 seconds after boot? [08:13] ricew: I'm just worried I'm mounting it wrong and that might cause problems later. [08:13] I need to install Ubuntu on an EXTREMELY low-end system - an old ThinkPad 600, with a Pentium II and about 128 megs of ram.

It's ubuntu based as far a I know. [08:14] iirc x requires a min of 256 meg [08:14] Also, I really really want to be able to run some kind of desktop environment. [08:14] Can i use unbuntu to make shells ? [08:14] It runs the Mepis variant, AntiX, without much trouble. [08:14] laughing - shell scripts? [08:14] Laughing_God, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ [08:14] mrgenericuser: Yeah, I plan to unmount when _intentionally_ removing the card. :) [08:14] Laughing_God, yes. shells are just shared access accounts on a unix-based machine [08:14] Nop.

[08:16] People seems to make shells and giving to people using Linux OS.just want to know that is that true? [08:16] mrgenericuser: problem is, I'd like to be prepared for it to be removed by accident. that is, not losing all the contents... [08:16] mechdave: However, I have no way of getting internet access on this thing, and I want to add a few games. [08:17] DSL is basically unsupported now. One of the main devs quit or something. [08:17] mechdave: I haven't come up with any other way to do it than grabbing the packages on a net-capable machine and installing them... But the packages are ubuntu-specific.

[08:23] Tvmbledown, yep, try http://packages.debian.org [08:23] mattcen: the N is for 'Networked' [08:23] tstebut: Because it's not something (so easy) to be toyed around with. :) [08:23] Elone: only if you want to torture yourself [08:23] mechdave: I may be misunderstanding, but they all look ubuntu-specific. [08:24] rski, if linux really wants to be main stream, then ease of use and FULL documentation for non it professionals will be necessary to succeed. [08:24] i dunno if you can put a swap file on fat 32 - mine says: /dev/sda5: TYPE="swap" [08:24] Tvmbledown, sorry... hang on for a sec [08:24] mattcen: of just 'Network' [08:24] ImGonnaWine: ok, is that a question or?

Problem is, the laptop A) is very very very low-end in terms of speed and RAM, and B) has NO internet access of any kind. This means a standard install would make for a brutally slow machine, and...

[08:34] It's slightly sad that I came in here *looking* for help, and ended up giving it instead :P === jean-claude is now known as clown2 [08:34] tstebut: Jaunty was a release in April 2008. Karmic is a development version, will be released next month. [08:35] Tvmbledown:yes,but if you have internet then I misunderstand you sorry [08:35] leaf-sheep: You mean 2009. [08:35] tstebut: Jaunty is a current (and the latest) release at the moment. [08:35] silverfast: Nah, you got it, actually. :) Thank you! [08:35] mattcen: Yes. === clown2 is now known as jean-claude [08:35] Tvmbledown: np ;) === jean-claude is now known as clown2 [08:36] !nickspam > clown2 [08:36] clown2, please see my private message [08:36] leaf-sheep : oh but why do I have to do a "update-manager -d" to see it ?? [08:36] if I have a text file of packagenames, how can I uninstall them please? [08:37] tstebut: Because that's an upgrade. If you're coming from Windows mindset, then it'd be *almost* same thing as going from Windows 98 to Windows 2000. Etc cetera. [08:37] ActionParsnip-> man dpkg [08:37] leaf-sheep: Jaunty was released in april 2009 [08:37] can anyone tell me how I can install window maker with gnome enabled on Ubuntu? Please? [08:37] ricew: cheers [08:38] test? [08:38] !cloning | ActionParsnip How did you create the test file, does this cloning factoid help at all? [08:38] ActionParsnip How did you create the test file, does this cloning factoid help at all?: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [08:38] window maker desktop environment, that is [08:38] how to i can record this live stream file in Ubuntu ? http://www.voanews.com/wm/live/live-persian-v.asx [08:39] ALT-F4: Windows Maker? Explain more, plz. [08:39] DJones: yeah thats where I got the file list from. I'm thinking just switch install for remove and be good [08:40] leaf-sheep : ok, well I suppose it's normal to say it's a development rel as in this context development's got to mean something else than the first meaning I got === ericm_ is now known as ericm-Zzz [08:41] tstebut: Not really. People are still using Gutsy (7.04), Hardy (8.04 LTS), or Intrepid (8.10) today and they can upgrade anytime when they want. Some want to stay behind to ensure stability and such. To each his own. Latest isn't always the good thing. ;) [08:42] hmmmm [08:42] Being off the thing is a hard job nowadays ;) [08:43] leaf-sheep, what's your version ? [08:43] tstebut: Jaunty 9.04 amd64. [08:44] yeah ! [08:46] ActionParsnip :http://paste.ubuntu.com/277692/ [08:46] leaf-sheep : Jaunty 9.04 core2duo , GTMY :) [08:47] * tstebut help [08:47] silverfast: cheers dude :) [08:47] * tstebut having a shower :p [08:48] ActionParsnip : try it on your own risc :p [08:48] silverfast: will do later, at work now === Xps9000 is now known as xps9000 === MadMax is now known as MaxSid [08:51] I have an AMD Athlon 64 X2 processor and am having troubles trying to get CPU frequency controls to work. cpufreq-selector says "No cpufreq support" and cpudynd says "CPU frequency control disabled". Any hints? [08:51] rian jak [08:53] everything works [08:53] in the OS [08:56] ZykoticK9: enable cool and quiet in bios [08:56] ZykoticK9: or it wont work [08:57] indus, thanks. I'll look into that -- the next time I reboot :) [08:58] hahha, reboot [09:02] assuming that I have Hardy LTS, will that release ever became "old" and unsupported? I mean, having updates set to LTS, is there also circle of updates/upgrades as on regular releases, but it is just way longer time between releases or is something like Hardy is supported for 5 years, and then bye bye, you have to re-install the system? [09:03] !lts [09:03] LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Hardy (Hardy Heron 8.04). The next LTS release is scheduled to be 10.04 [09:04] guja: yes it will eventually become unsupported but its not for a while [09:04] okay, so when Hardy becomes unofficial, what happens? "new upgrade to 10.04 available" will show in my update manager or? [09:04] guja: you can upgrade LTS->LTS [09:04] guja: Yup. [09:04] I have uninstalled the ATI drivers but the ATI Control Center item is still in the Applications menu in Gnome. How to remove it? [09:04] guja: sure, 10.04 is available in 20(10) in the 4th month (April) [09:04] In the Add/Remove dialog ATI Catalyst is already deselected [09:04] guja: You'd run a command to update to LTS. However, that isn't going to happen for long time. [09:05] guja: hardy is support for 3 years after 200(8) 4th month (April) [09:05] leaf-sheep: i see. and based on what LTS versions are chosen? [09:05] Does dhclient in Ubuntu send dns-updates by default? [09:05] guja: timebased afaik [09:05] how to remove a menu item from the Applications menu? Add/remove doesn't work [09:06] guja: Every X years. [09:06] alkisg_work: the standard for DNS servers states they must send periodic updates [09:06] alkisg_work: as far as I am aware [09:06] okay, thanks folks. got that. [09:06] csaba: click system, preferences, main menu [09:07] alin_badila: if they are told to, you can disable it but the standard default is to advertise [09:07] ActionParsnip: I mean the client, dhclient. E.g. one standalone ubuntu PC, will it send its hostname to the local dns server? (==dns update) [09:07] thanks [09:07] alkisg_work: i think so, it does with home grade routers [09:07] and one more question: 32bit vs 64bit ubuntu? I have 64bit architecture, but dunno if it's wise to use 64bit, since I don't know how well these days x86_64 is supported in Ubuntu. [09:07] guja: its fine [09:08] ActionParsnip: thanks, I hope it does :) [09:08] guja: go for it. it worked fine when i tried it. [09:08] ActionParsnip: no more problems from quite time ago I remember like flash problems, etc? [09:09] I have a windows installed on the same computer, and the drives can be seen in "Computer". However, when I click on them, nothing happens. Probably some mount error in the background. How to figure out what's wrong? Clicking "mount" also doesn't do anything [09:10] windows vista [09:10] and /media contains only the cdrom [09:10] guja: there is a 64bit flash plugin (beta) as well as nspluginwrapper. flashplugin-nonfree will use the wrapper, you can install the beta manually and it runs fine [09:10] and the C: drive's location is computer:/// and media is unknown [09:10] how can i grep a man page? [09:11] ActionParsnip: and Skype maybe? if you are using it. [09:11] better question, how can I output only pattern matching lines from within a man page? [09:11] Hello all. I'm setting up a bunch of diskless machines to boot over PXE. I've got each machine set up in it's own directory on a server, and their root directory is exported over tftp. Everything mostly works, but I'd like to write a script to chroot into each root directory and "apt-get update -s -y && apt-get upgrade -s -y" However, no matter what I try, I can't get the command to work. [09:12] If 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] have the script chroot into each directory and use the pwd for the commands? [09:13] basically, make the script do what you do lol [09:13] Well, I'm trying the following: "chroot /path/to/exported/root apt-get update" but it only seems to execute it on the host [09:13] rather, "sudo chroot ..." [09:13] Can Ubunutu support duel monitors? [09:14] i knew that quesiton was over my head, i just wanted to try anyway. sorry [09:14] Alex_Brooks: You mean dual monitors, and yes [09:14] Alex_Brooks: yup it sure can [09:14] a duel is a fight ;) [09:14] Thanks booleancat + aethelrick, sorry for the bad spelling, only just woke up. [09:14] xinerama and x (in the form of multiple dispays) will duel your output [09:14] Alex_Brooks: you do have to restart X for the changes to apply though [09:15] guja: i dont use skype, it can be made to work. Thre are guides everywhere [09:15] lol... no problem Alex_Brooks the idea of monitors dueling conjures an image :) === bo is now known as Zia_daWEN [09:16] i am quite literally going insane (minus the bulk of the insanity) trying to find out how to get my terminal to output a "ctrl-f" of a man page [09:16] Having problems with eSATA auto mounting. The device node for the drive are being created/removed when its plugged in/unplugged, but it wont auto mount according to fstab. [09:16] say i wanted to see what the man page for grep had to say about the -p option. [09:17] doing mount -a or /dev/.. will work [09:17] am i missing something? [09:18] lol... so my problem was easily solved by reading the man page... I just wanted the -y option. The -s option "simulates" the operation... [09:18] * booleancat facepalms [09:18] hey all [09:18] whose proficient in ubuntu? [09:19] jimbeam12: many [09:19] hey action how are u..

I have installed wine, and found ie6. it works ok. but I need to install my own application.

[09:24] ActionParsnip: can you help me? [09:25] ImGonnaWine: give it a go, if it doesnt work then try the wine from the wine repo: http://www.winehq.org/download/deb [09:25] hey guys [09:25] moin [09:26] I have downloaded wine, and installed it, can someone help me install a new windows program? [09:26] everytime startup manager add this line to grub...splashimage=/boot/grub/splashimages/guitar.xpm.gz its stuff up... [09:26] ImGonnaWine: do you have an installer for your program? [09:26] i can't figure out how to either a. install the pick utility or b. use an alternate method to output a string from within a man page [09:26] ImGonnaWine: try "wine installer.exe" where installer.exe is the name of your installer [09:27] ImGonnaWine: right click on the exe and select open with wine installer [09:27] 2nd question: Is there any way to share the deb files already downloaded across a network (say I have 10 machines, and don't want to download each update 10 times) [09:27] well, i cant think of any more ways to ask that question [09:27] wait time [09:27] I guess it has an installer... its a windows application and install in the normal way. the problem is where do I install it? how do I find the wine c drive? [09:28] ok, let me look at it. === L1nUX1z3R is now known as soUPERMan [09:29] trakcyia: man foo | grep word ? [09:29] trakcyia: what is your overall goal? do you have a specific man page in mind or are you trying to do a multi-man-page search? [09:29] hey, my cd burner has been having errors in burning, any ideas to why this is happening? [09:30] booleancat: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205569 seems ok === wet-chan is now known as wet [09:30] soUPERMan: tried burning slower or a different app? [09:30] ImGonnaWine: your c drive in in your home directory under .wine/drive_c/ [09:30] ActionParsnip, i tried with K3B but got the same error [09:31] weird thing is it used to work [09:31] soUPERMan: tried a different speed? [09:31] then out of nowhere i get errors [09:31] ImGonnaWine: simply running your installer with wine should suffice however, it knows where C is :) [09:31] aethelrick: so how do I know if it is installed. I am not sure if it worked. [09:31] soUPERMan: can you be sure the drive isn't faulty? [09:32] it reads... [09:32] aethelrick: it is not listed in the wine part of the menu [09:32] aethelrick, is there a way to test if it's faulty? [09:32] geirha: that did the trick, thank you [09:33] ImGonnaWine: 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, programs [09:33] ImGonnaWine: your apps menu will have an entry if the app makes one [09:34] ImGonnaWine: under wine [09:35] it did not make a menu item... unless I need to reboot for it to be seen. [09:35] soUPERMan: 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 failing [09:35] soUPERMan: if you can rule out the changes in config... then I'd start to suspect the device. [09:35] ImGonnaWine: "killall gnome-panel" should do the triiiiick. [09:35] soUPERMan: out of curiosity, what model is the device? [09:35] ok, will try swaping aethelrick ...now to find another burner...*sigh* [09:36] who can i prvt i connection with a joomla problem ?

(i.e. blank media) [09:38] YES!!!! [09:38] aethelrick, not exactly i tested a few new ones just to see if it was the discs [09:38] soUPERMan: I once got an entire spindle of CD's that would not burn reliably with my drive... [09:38] but weird thing is it burns on my friend's laptop [09:39] is this an external drive?

[09:45] network manager tells me every few seconds that my internet connects and disconnects [09:45] daurnimator: It sometimes happens when running bad kernel code, ie. a driver or kernel module [09:45] wine: you may want to run: winecfg too to change the simulated windows version. This can give different results too [09:45] soUPERMan: soreau: o.o why would that happen >.< [09:45] I was just importing songs into rythmbox [09:45] daurnimator: Importing from where? [09:45] an ntfs hdd [09:45] daurnimator, mmmhhh....i have no idea, but something went wrong and crashed the kernel or your xserver [09:46] anyways here goes ... i have installed mosets tree component and module inside joomla and everytime i try to browse webpage thru //localhost/webtest/ it gives me this error : Fatal Error: Call to a member function call() on a non-object in /var/www/webstest/components/com_mtree/mtree.php on line 329 [09:46] I have down loaded wine from the ubuntu repositories.

ActionParsnip [09:47] wine: thats all you do [09:47] edi_99: Yes, and that is likely the "best" way -- you can always ln -s that to somewhere else or change httpd.conf (or apache.conf I think it is now) to get your scripts from elswhere. [09:47] Maverick: you can use visdo to make sudo not need a password but they will still need to be a mamber of admin group to be able to use it [09:47] Maverick: it depends of fs type [09:47] Maverick: they just wont get bothered for a password [09:48] daurnimator: You'r system is telling you at this point, it's pretty much in a state where it reached the furthest it can do and doesn't know what else to do so you have to restart it. You can do something like Alt+PrintScreen+S+U+B [09:48] wine: try winecfg to see if changing the system to vista etc makes a difference. [09:48] rotzak|work: OK, thanks [09:48] wine: what app is it?

[09:50] daurnimator, hey, i burned with a higher speed and it worked, weird, right? [09:50] ActionParsnip: it simply is not loading. by using the wine loader it did create the filefolder, but not thing is in it. [09:50] thank you [09:50] peeps123: How are you trying to connect? wifi or hardwire ethernet? [09:50] ethernet [09:50] peeps123: And what is the problem?

[09:53] rxd: not sure, you'd have to check man apt-get. If you are running out of space you could make a folder on a partition with space and symlink the folder where debs usually get downloaded to the new folder [09:53] yes no probs [09:53] wine: press alt+f2 on keyboard [09:53] adapter* [09:53] wine: in the littel box type the word: winecfg [09:53] wine: press enter [09:54] ActionParsnip: ok got u...did that apt-get -o and dpkg-deb -x so i get everything in one directory [09:54] wine: change the windows version in that app and click apply and ok [09:54] ActionParsnip: dude, are you drunk... I am in winecfg [09:54] wine: then retry the app [09:54] actonparsnip are you messing with me... I have told you three times the application is not listed. [09:55] when I visit youtube the videos keep freezing [09:55] wine: it in the apps tab [09:55] wine: at the bottom of the dialogue [09:55] I got a general question about ubuntu: are new packages allowed to enter a release after the release? if so, into which repo are they? release or updates? [09:55] and thats when netman tells me I have disconnected [09:55] ActionParsnip: ubuntu 9.10 uses aufs as default file system, so we can now create say a squashfs file out of what we are installing and merge/layer it to our rootfilesystem on the fly and it works!

In component main, is optional. Version 1.0-0ubuntu5.2 (jaunty), package size 109 kB, installed size 540 kB [12:24] jrib: Sorry to ask, but I don't know how to apply the chmod for Firefox, there are too many "firefox" around, many folders and such. Should I apply it to every folder? [12:25] TNk what do you want to achieve? [12:25] you shouldn't need to set the permissions to run firefox normally [12:25] timClicks: I want to achieve a functional firefox. [12:25] TNk: you need to apply the ownership change to ~/.mozilla/ recursively, that's it [12:26] jrib: THanks. :-) [12:26] TNk: that's easiest to do via Nautilus [12:26] TNk has been running firefox with sudo [12:26] :/ [12:27] thats a scary thought [12:27] jrib: sudo chmod -R / home/francisco/.mozilla that looks good? [12:28] TNk: no, you want to change ownership, not permissions. chmod is for permissions [12:28] It wasn't intentional, It happened after I messed up with VMWare [12:28] jrib: sudo chown -R / home/francisco/.mozilla then [12:28] TNk: close, now you need to specify what owner you want to change it to... [12:28] You have to tell it the new owner. :) [12:28] chown username.username whatever [12:29] sudo chown -R $USER: ~/.mozilla will work [12:29] sudo chown -R user.group ~/.mozilla [12:29] . is deprecated! [12:29] Oh. The link you sent was for chmod. :-) That's what I was reading. [12:29] TNk: scroll down [12:30] TNk: you should probably close firefox by the way before doing this [12:32] Hello, I have the following error when i log into gnome "The application "gnome-panel" attempted to change an aspect of your configuration that your system administrator or operating system vendor does not allow you to change.

[12:34] is it possible to have a computer automatically log into the Guest Account? [12:34] personal system, only started happening yesterday. It may have been caused by me changing some permissions but I can;t be sure [12:34] Great! It worked like a Charm [12:34] jimjimovich1: the 'guest' account is a special temp account. No way to autologin to it.. [12:34] blq bla [12:34] Many thanks guys, really. :-) [12:34] jimjimovich1: you could sort of make a similer account that can auto login. but ive never tried. [12:35] user___: make sure you are the owner and have at least read and write access to everything in /home/$USER [12:35] !gksudo | TNk [12:35] TNk: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [12:35] heh too late [12:35] Dr_Willis: Any way to make an account that reverts to it's original state each time someone uses it?

[12:42] user___: or chown it to be 644 like it says. [12:43] user___ | you should do chmod -R u+rw $HOME [12:43] Dr_Willis: Thanks, I'll chown to 644. However my original error still comes up straight after this one :( [12:44] user___: how did you create the account? [12:44] Boohbah: During install about 2 years ago.

[12:59] hi..can anyone give me a command to recursively delete all NON HIDDEN files and folder === The is now known as Guest93561 [13:00] fallenpoet: running "chmod -R u+rw $HOME" didn't help :( [13:00] Maleko: find . ! -name '.*' # If that looks right, add -delete at the end [13:01] geirha: brave soul [13:01] Hi 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] Maleko: Oh and you might want -type f to only target files [13:01] ActionParsnip: How so? [13:01] squircle: did you md5 check the iso you downloaded? did you verify the d once booted to? [13:02] ActionParsnip: yes, I did. [13:02] geirha: i wouldnt have touched that with the longest pole I could find [13:02] squircle: good [13:02] ActionParsnip: what's weird is I can mount the drive if i boot into anything else [13:02] just the bootloader doesn't want to mount it... there isn't any /dev/sdx [13:02] squircle: strange, the fstab should be populated properly [13:02] squircle: sudo fdisk -l [13:02] geirha: like this? find . -type f -name ! '.*' [13:03] ActionParsnip: fstab was populated properly, i checked [13:03] squircle: boot to live CD and use UIDs instead, youo can update fstab to reflect === aiyakoiya is now known as Laughing_God [13:03] ActionParsnip: it was using UUIDs and failing; i changed it to block devices and it's still not working [13:03] Maleko: find . -type f ! -name '.*' make sure you try on a test tree/copy first [13:03] Cyrano_Zz: gimme a sec to get out of the busybox shell; it's really limited [13:04] okay, so i downloaded a file with the extension .sh... how do i install it? o_O [13:04] ynk: and what is this whtever.sh supposed to install? [13:04] Dr_Willis, it installs Netbeans. [13:05] ActionParsnip: if it's not working with UUIDs or block devices, what could that mean? [13:05] Dr_Willis, i found the one in the repository to be out of date. [13:05] ynk: if it needs to be ran as root 'sudo sh whatever.sh' or not 'sh whatever.sh' for a singler user install [13:05] squircle: no idea, its usually one or the other [13:05] squircle: if you run: sudo blkid did te UIDs match? [13:05] ynk: or chmod +x whatever.sh then ./whatever.sh [13:05] Dr_Willis, ah, okay. i'll give it a shot. thanks. [13:06] where is the named error log? [13:07] ActionParsnip: yes, they do. [13:08] ActionParsnip: they match my fstab and menu.lst [13:08] hi, i'm looking for chargen but can't find it in /etc/init.d [13:08] geirha: yea that works so next i just do this? find . -type f ! -name '.*' -delete ? or -exec rm -f {} \; [13:08] Ubuntu 9.10 Out ? [13:09] haowan: no [13:09] !karmic [13:09] Maleko: Yes. the -exec is the portable way, while -delete is specific to GNU find (which ubuntu has) [13:09] Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 29th, 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [13:11] geirha: ah okay. thanks so much :) [13:11] Maleko: yw [13:13] ActionParsnip: would the error "udevadm trigger is not permitted while udev is unconfigured" help at all? [13:13] mouse cursor doesn't autohide in gmplayer, but does in mplayer, any resolution? === jean is now known as Guest33782 [13:14] squircle: i'd try a reinstall [13:15] ActionParsnip: Come to think of it, i restarted after an update when this happened, and it said something about failing to update a ramfs or something, and i was too naïve to write it down [13:15] ActionParsnip: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/devmapper/+bug/358654 [13:15] gajop: seems to be a known bug from what i just googled. [13:16] geirha: sorry, any idea why it refuses to delete folders? i have specified -rf with rm [13:16] squircle: looks like a plan [13:16] ActionParsnip: Seems from the bug that if I chroot in, i should be able to make it work. [13:16] i'll try. [13:17] maleko, are you trying to delete as root? [13:17] normal users [13:17] gajop: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mplayer/+bug/64901 with links to updated mplayer [13:17] Dr_Willis, i know, i was hoping there was a known solution as well :P [13:17] Maleko: The parent directories have probably been deleted first. [13:17] gajop: there is.. :) on the bug report page. [13:17] maleko, its owner may not be user [13:18] Maleko: Oh, and your find only targets files [13:18] !fr [13:18] Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr [13:18] Dr_Willis, the last comment is a lie, i'm using 9.10 alpha, and i still have the issue [13:18] gajop: if you are having issues with 9.10 - you should be un #ubuntu+1 i guess. [13:19] okay, thanks [13:19] gajop: re-open the bug report like it asks then perhaps. [13:20] Good morning everyone. Ok here is my problem everytime i open Log File Viewer it keeps showing me this error /var/log/btmp The file is not a regular file or is not a text file.

[13:21] basic commands. I want to know how to do these. example "username : hi" [13:21] Maleko: If I understood what you wanted to do correctly, you risk removing hidden files if you do rm -rf [13:21] h1231enry: typing and using enter to send text? :p [13:22] christina, did you to a md5sum on the installation programs to make sure it was not corrupted? [13:22] how can I recursively list all files that are symlinks in a directory?

[13:22] christina: have you tried waiting a few minutes, or do you just restart [13:23] just type it or autocomplete it h1231enry with tab [13:23] Sagaci asd [13:23] any advice on how to fix this error => /var/log/btmp The file is not a regular file or is not a text file.

[13:23] how can I recursively list all files that are symlinks in a directory? [13:23] Maleko: rmdir will only remove a directory if it is empty [13:23] for example i see your message blue not black [13:23] how to? [13:23] * Dr_Willis wonders what color this is. [13:24] !offtopic [13:24] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks!

Ako kasi dito lang sa bahay, e tambay tambay ako dito sa ubuntu kasi gusto ko rin matuto. [13:58] Dr_Willis: Is there somewhere in particular I could go to get further help with this? [13:58] h1231enry: i got used with ubuntu cause it's what they use here [13:58] cyberjorge: you will need to look at nmap and how to scan the network addresses for your subnet to see what is going on [13:59] i heared good things about ubuntu here from bona guys that's why i have one in my house too [13:59] cyberjorge: in the same sweep you can have it query the hosts for what services they provide etc [13:59] cyberjorge : does Ubuntu work perfectly on WIFI networks? Kasi LAN pa lang tina try ko. Hindi pa sa laptop ko. [14:00] hello [14:00] cyberjorge: ubuntu is just a debian based Linux. Linux in general is good fun [14:00] ActionParsnip: hhmm... i see, you an exact command for me? for this ip range 192.168.1.1 - 20 [14:00] jrib: $+{var} [14:00] #part ubuntu [14:00] ooops [14:00] cyberjorge: http://nmap.org/book/man-examples.html [14:00] what do i need to create a ntfs partition with gparted?

How can I find out what program installed postfix as a dependency? [14:02] cyberjorge : Yeah. I really want ubuntu over Windows, because it is easy to use though hard to install and run for the first timers [14:02] cyberjorge: 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 unreachable [14:03] anyone have some experience with authoring init.d scripts? [14:03] !anyone | docoliver [14:03] docoliver: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."

[14:04] JuJuBee: many programs has a mta as recomended package so they can mail the admin about isuues like smartmontools and the like [14:04] h1231enry: you'll get use to it, it's fun learning ubuntu. Here at bona coffee, they have ubuntu cpu with 2 users [14:04] or 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] cyberjorge: for i in `seq 1 254`; do ping -c 1 192.168.1.$i; done [14:05] Cyrano_Zz: yes, one exactly is the ip address of my router as i forgot which ip I assigned :D [14:05] but 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] cyberjorge : yeah I'm happy because I'm now using Linux, [14:05] erUSUL: would it be terrible to uninstall postfix? I do not want an mta installed on my laptop. [14:05] cyberjorge: Replace 192.168.1 with the subnet you are trying. [14:05] JuJuBee: no; it will not be terrible [14:05] so I try --background via start-stop-daemon instead, but then my stdin input looks borked. [14:06] ok, thanks for the info. I think it is in fact smartmontools that I installed a few weeks ago... [14:06] h1231enry: and best of all it's free! ;) let's sometime here at bona, they have branch at westgate alabang and in bf [14:07] cyberjorge : I'm near Alabang and BF homes Las Pinas.

[14:34] you would probably use one or the other, correct? [14:34] MasterofPuppets: No need to write your own script. Look at something like rdiff-backup of backuppc. [14:34] mweichert: i wouldnt say competing, just 2 different options [14:35] Cyrano_Zz, there is no such file [14:35] MasterofPuppets: There are several backup packages available in the repositories. [14:35] there are syslog.*.gz files [14:35] ActionParsnip, you you would use one or the other - not both, correct? [14:35] mweichert: 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] mweichert: id stick to just one, yes [14:35] rsouthard: sudo iptables -L ?

I had to check dmesg, to see if the kernel was seeing the keycodes. and map them if it was not. === ryu2 is now known as ryu [16:24] when I do an "apt-cache depends php5-mysql" and I see "Depends: " in the output, what do the <> brackets indicate? [16:24] bad_alloc: i recall i found some good info on it in the gentoo and arch linux wiki/docs :) [16:25] peterva, is that how to make it or use it? [16:25] Hi. I was wondering if there is a more minimal version of ubuntu than the 600 mb server edition? [16:25] Dr_Willis: well x is recieving them so the kernel must be doing so too. i just need to know how i can bind them now [16:25] !minimal [16:25] The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [16:26] rohdef: that's how you can use a cd/dvd for apt-get purposes [16:26] whileimhere, around 9mb ^^ [16:26] peterva, and how to make the cd? [16:26] Oh, I assumed you already had the cd :) [16:26] rohdef, aptoncd [16:26] !aptoncd [16:26] APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers - See also !offline [16:26] bazhang: Where and what is it?

But not even the BIOS is aware of the drive. I don't know what a can do about it. [16:31] Newbee: have you tried flashing the bios with a newer version? [16:31] of course this is not ubuntu's fault. But I would need that drive for the server. [16:32] maybe it will support bigger disks [16:32] Newbee: a PCI sata controller card perhaps would see it. [16:32] answering my own question -- it looks like they indicate a virtual package. but damned if i can find that documented anywhere... [16:32] peterva: yes, I put the newest - from 2005 or so - on, but it did not help [16:32] hmmm, then I would have to say Dr_Willis suggestion is your only option [16:32] sarg reports it detected a word search loop and the exsits what cn i do to fix the problem? [16:33] Dr_Willis: yes, I also thought about it, but the main reason I use such old and cheap hardware for the server is price. and so I really would appreciate if I could use the drive without extra cost. I guess that such a card will cost at least 20€. Money a student would like so safe. === pyrus is now known as Guest97507 [16:35] ok I will let in on the joke. I am trying to do free |awk '/^-/ { print $3 }' and it works but I want to add right after than number "BASIC BYTES FREE." [16:35] Newbee: ive picked up several for $14 usa. no idea what that is in your $$ but its less then the cost of lunch for 3 at McDonolds. :) [16:35] free |awk '/^-/ { print $3 }' && echo BASIC BYTES FREE. does not seem to work [16:35] The thing is that I use a similar (also relativly new Samsung SATA II drive) with 250GB for quite a time. But I cannot use my new 1TB drive. This is why I thougt it should work. But maybe I am wrong [16:35] where can i find resources to understand linux properly === xonesoulx is now known as pochomon [16:35] kyja: you need to go learn how to do this stuff, you can't just rely on being spoon fed how to do basic tasks [16:35] kyja: echo $(free |awk '/^-/ { print $3 }') BYtes free [16:36] Newbee: theres always external USB enclosures. :( ick. === pyrus is now known as Guest20562 [16:36] kyja: you're missing the "" around the stuff you want to echo [16:36] kyja: tldp.org has two good bash tutorials [16:36] peterva: no need to quote [16:37] thank you llutz and peterva , sorry jrib [16:37] llutz: not in your way :) [16:37] hi [16:37] Dr_Willis: USB enclosures? what do you mean? I am not a native speaker and a cannot get the message, sry [16:37] peterva: even in his "echo bla foo bar" [16:37] how can i create a ntfs artition with gparted.... the ntfs button is grey [16:38] Newbee: a case you put the HD in that plugs into a usb port. [16:38] rek: install the extra ntfs programs/tools [16:39] 'ntfsprogs' or somthing like that is the package name [16:39] Dr_Willis: so you use the internal drive as external?

[16:41] with no user being logged in [16:41] Newbee: i have several such enclosures that let me use normal drives as externals [16:41] which pacage?? [16:41] ntfsprogs :) [16:42] mkulke: give more details to the channel as to what you are doing. [16:42] mkulke: like what? [16:42] actually it will load the theme, but break my direction keys and mod key [16:42] and not the wallpaper [16:42] lemmingfoo: nautilus draws the wallpaper [16:43] Dr_Willis/jrib: i have a graphical program, which requires no input, etc but sadly needs an X-server. is there any way to run it as a cronjob and point it to a dummy X-server or something? [16:43] mkulke: what program? [16:43] firefox specifically [16:43] mkulke: you could set up Vncserver to run in the background and launch the app from rc.local easially enough. [16:44] the fullscreen mode on any of the flashplayers on firefox just opens and closes in a flick! why is it so! [16:44] you sure? because after it's killed there's still a wallpaper, jrib [16:44] mkulke: no need for a cronjob for that. [16:44] ok [16:44] whats an easy way to change my nvidia drivers from 173 to vdpau 180 [16:44] mkulke: why do you need to run firefox unattended? What is it doing?

[16:45] mkulke: you can set up vncserver, to launch a minimal window manager, and run whatevers apps you want. [16:45] i don't want a new os there.... so... [16:45] rek: do what? [16:45] what can i do? [16:45] logical for data is ok [16:45] jrib: Actually, running gnome-settings-daemon on my laptop after starting awesome sets back my wallpaper, just doesn't work on my regular workstation [16:45] mkulke: is firefox actually doing something or is just visiting the web page what triggers the "tests"? [16:45] Dr_Willis: lemme try that [16:46] lemmingfoo: nautilus is drawing the wallpaper [16:46] rek: yes.. thats what 90% of the pcs out there are using for extra partitions [16:46] lemmingfoo: start nautilus [16:46] Primary vs logical is just that logical is one extra step of indirection and thus slower, no? [16:46] my pc is really happier in these day like me...i have more energy [16:46] pcs ? [16:46] pozic: i ve never heard of them being any slower. [16:46] jrib: i guess it uses a plugin or something, i really don't know [16:46] ah ok [16:46] mkulke: I see [16:46] pozic: i doubt if they would be slower.

[17:30] It works for a moment... then stops working [17:30] augusto -> do you know if the far end is up? the ISP connectivity is okay? [17:30] EvaLuaTe, reboot? does the machine have windows on it?

[17:33] Wallar, 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 reading [17:33] n8tuser: it works perfectly on jaunty and windows [17:33] n8tuser: it says 'DISABLED' next to the wireless interface, so I guess there's still something wrong... [17:34] http://www.golive2.com/stix/welcome.php [17:34] EvaLuaTe -> correct, try sudo ifdown wlan0; sudo ifup wlan0 [17:34] Hmm...

[17:50] LjL >>> I know its ubuntu 9.10. Isn't there any official website for it ?? [17:50] iceroot: That sounds like a good idea. [17:51] shivek: #ubuntu+1 should know [17:51] whileimhere, instead of installing everything and then removing what you don't want why not just do a minimal install and add what you want? [17:51] Halitech I do not have a CD burner. [17:51] LjL >>> I know that ! [17:52] llutz, thanks [17:52] I have USB thumbdrive for installation. [17:52] shivek: then why ar you asking *here*? [17:52] whileimhere, you could still set it up to boot the minimal install and go from there [17:52] LjL >>>OOpps! sorry [17:53] halitech how? [17:53] before i format my computer, i copied the whole mail directory from .evolution, after the installation i copied back and i got all my messages back, but now when i do send/receive i don't see my new messages, what do i do? [17:53] whileimhere, same way you would set it up with the full install but use the iso for the minimal install [17:54] halitech: I do not have a CD burner and it seems that I cannot use the imagewriter to write it to my thumbdrive. [17:54] bobo, did you reconfigure a mail account? [17:54] hello, does anyones knows how to check ur email account in by the terminal [17:54] whileimhere, how are you going to install (x)ubuntu then? [17:54] is there any thing like http://www.autohotkey.com/ for ubuntu? [17:54] someone gave me a burned copy of Xubuntu [17:54] Halitech, how do you mean?, after the format i created the same account again, and after that i copied the folder back [17:54] So I have a regular non-burner to install with [17:55] bobo, did it create a new folder for evolution and did you copy the old files into that folder? [17:55] i hate i cant figiured out how to use airocrack [17:56] MK13: you can bind keys in Compiz to run whatever you want, and you can generally write shell scripts to automate whatever you want [17:56] now im not on the computer anyway [17:56] Halitech, i think it created new folder, and after that i merged the folder [17:56] whileimhere, 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 install [17:56] halitech never thought of that! [17:56] eevee, k thought so [17:56] bobo, so you see the old emails but not the new ones? [17:56] Eevee, thnx [17:57] luis_: telnet 110 USER PASS ... or something :-) [17:57] Halitech, just like that [17:57] whileimhere, been awhile since I've used the xubuntu cd so might have to look around for that option, might also depend if its the alt cd or the live cd [17:58] bobo, permissions issue with the old files maybe? [17:58] halitech I think its the live cx [17:58] cd [17:58] hey, a GTK+ theme I'm using (Elegant Brit) is making the menus in some Java apps unreadable. Is there any way I can fix this? [17:58] Halitech, so what kind of permissions should i put 666? [17:58] whileimhere, ok, check the boot options when the initial screen comes up [17:59] bobo, they need to have the same ownership as the new user has [17:59] barring, of course, changing the theme [17:59] halitech I will thanks for the idea! [17:59] whileimhere, np, hope it works [17:59] Halitech, so what should i do? [17:59] luis_: but i think you want a program like mutt or pine [18:00] bobo, try creating a new file, check the ownership info and compare that to your old mail files [18:00] MarderIII, nothing like going old school to check your mail ;) [18:00] Malitech: :-D [18:01] bye evry one [18:03] help plz to make firefox play online tv i have vlc and flash player installed but it plays just a little [18:05] hello!

[18:07] ps [18:07] MarderIII, I had to use them just last week, used to use them daily when I did tech support, surprising what comes back when you need it [18:09] Why am I at the PC running windows, and naked? [18:09] Malitech: tech support... yechh! glad to have left that behind :-X [18:09] Malitech: altough... what am i doing here? :-) [18:09] dev_n00b: those pesky EULA's get you every time! [18:11] MarderIII, so am I, did it for almost 10 years ... because you want to give back to the community :) [18:12] Halitech: ...should fix my fonts... read H as M?... not good... Something like that :) [18:12] MarderIII, maybe you just need to get your eyes checked ;) [18:13] Halitech: Maybe.. %-) [18:13] How do I find out which release a box has installed? [18:13] from the command line [18:14] lsb_release says there are no lsb modules installed [18:15] quentusrex: lsb_release -a [18:15] Does APT depend on dialog? [18:15] MindVirus: well, you could check that with "apt-cache depends apt", but i think so [18:15] LjL: it doesn't, which is the scary part. [18:15] I don't want to believe it. [18:16] MindVirus: it does [18:16] That's why I asked here. [18:16] MindVirus: apt-cache --recurse depends apt | grep dialog [18:16] 8-) [18:16] LjL: oh goodness. [18:17] LjL: how is it that I can remove dialog without removing any other packages? === denny_ is now known as denny === fred_ is now known as Guest16038 [18:18] LjL: http://pastebin.com/d4d0949ec [18:18] MindVirus: alright i need to research this a bit better [18:19] Furthermore, how is it that one of the packages I have installed conflicts with dialog? [18:19] Hmm... [18:19] MindVirus: i think the thing is that you can use other alternatives to dialog. but there should be a multiple depends *somewhere* [18:20] I'm not using any alternatives to dialog AFAIK (but then again I don't know any). [18:20] Anything I should check? [18:20] MindVirus: ah, there is [18:20] MindVirus: apt-cache depends debconf [18:21] whiptail | dialog | gnome-utils all provide dialog-like things [18:21] It conflicts with dialog. [18:21] what does? [18:21] And with apt. [18:21] debconf. [18:21] WTF?! [18:21] ? [18:21] debconf can't conflict with apt [18:21] I know! [18:22] do you have mixed versions of stuff by any chance? [18:22] I should not at all. [18:22] http://pastebin.com/d7e3f51b0 [18:22] How can it suggest and conflict with dialog at the same time? [18:22] MindVirus: ah no sorry [18:23] MindVirus: my bad idea to use the "depends" command. use apt-cache show debconf [18:23] it's just specifying a versionnumber [18:23] hello [18:23] LjL: ahh. [18:23] is there any way to customize the notifications in ubuntu 9.04 ? [18:23] LjL: So I don't need debconf? === fred_ is now known as Guest36922 [18:23] I mean. [18:23] MindVirus: still the slightly worrying thng is that dialog and its friends are just a Suggests [18:23] Dialog? [18:23] Yes. [18:24] Should I file a bug? [18:24] MindVirus: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [18:24] MindVirus: well, i'd think you need *either* dialog or whiptail or gnome-utils... [18:24] MindVirus: i don't know. maybe it'll just fall back to Y/N questions at the console with printf [18:24] LjL: then it should be Depends: dialog || whiptail || gnome-utils. [18:24] MindVirus: but i'm not going to try (removing dialog, that is) [18:25] LjL: sometimes you need a choice of things which that can't handle. [18:26] MindVirus: well, but it *is* somewhere. i don't know where, but somewhere [18:26] MindVirus: because if i remove dialog, it doesn't bring anything with it; if i remove whiptail, neither; but if i attempt to remove both, all hell breaks loose [18:26] (i don't have gnome-utils) [18:27] help me pleease [18:27] LjL: good observation.

[18:29] can someone help me install ices0 [18:29] MindVirus: yes, it does that for me too [18:29] I'm sure my problem's been encountered b4. but I've not found a *solution*. new install, dual boot w/XP on Acer Aspire One D250. I am only prompted with two options, the install side-by-side option is not present. [18:29] LjL: so whiptail is preferred apparently. [18:29] MindVirus: still, that's a rather weak dependency [18:29] LjL: what? [18:29] ubuntu-minimal? [18:29] it was there when I was demo-ing the LiveUSB stick to my dad on his 8.9" AAO. [18:29] MindVirus: yeah. i wouldn't leave it up to a metapackage [18:30] MindVirus: i'd still be of the opinion that debconf itself should depend on it (unless there's something else we're missng) [18:30] anyone here run into this and/or seen a solution online anywhere?

[18:33] I think debconf defaults to whiplash. [18:33] I mean. [18:33] whiptail. [18:33] MindVirus: wut? it's not dialog? [18:34] I guess not.

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 think [18:37] I'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] ZooK, just ask [18:37] i'm missing the side-by-side option in the Install app. Acer Aspire One D250. Wanting to install for dual boot. heh. @guest16518, me too! [18:38] izzaboo, side by side? Dual boot? [18:38] I have an HDX18 laptop, and from the beginning I haven't been able to get sound to come out of anything but the headphone jack. Anyone know a solution for this? [18:39] in the Install app I was expecting three options for answering the Question Where do you want to put Ubuntu 9.04? I only have two. [18:39] I see Use entire disk or Specify partitions manually [18:39] izzaboo, well, I'm flying blind - it's been a while since I installed from scratch. But that sounds right. What was the other option you wanted? [18:39] izzaboo, is it under manual? [18:40] anyone know a site which explains really really simply yet effectively how to change users in ubuntu so that i can access root folder? [18:40] !root | ZooK [18:40] ZooK: 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 [18:40] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOneAOD250 indicated there should be a side-by-side option...

Hence, no 3rd option [18:51] conde: what have you tried so far to get the printer working? (plz put my name in front of your awnser, so I see you are talking to me) [18:51] void_pointer, so I'd have to somehow rip off a chunk of the XP partition and reformat it? is that possible without destroying current intsallation of XP??

[18:52] izzaboo, well you'll have to shrink the partition. Don't jump into that just yet .. one sec [18:52] jalonso, yeah I was going to direct you there ;) [18:53] void_pointer: ah, ok, unfortunately no one is answering :( [18:53] izzaboo, first choice (for you) do you have a windows utility you can use to shrink the partition [18:53] void_pointer: thanks anyways :) [18:53] jalonso, i have done so, but a looong time ago. Sorry [18:53] void_pointer: did you see it as a lost cause? [18:53] void_pointer, I've not installed one. this is a fresh from the store AAO D250. It is still freeeesssshhhh. heheh [18:54] jalonso, not at all. Great learning experience [18:54] void_pointer, but I will look into that. is there one you'd recommend? [18:54] izzaboo, allright. Well if you don't have something like "partition magic" for windows, you can use this guide --> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=370598 [18:54] void_pointer: oh ok, well thats encouraging to here [18:55] void_pointer: thanks for the pointers! *pun* :D~ [18:55] btw, Acer's eRecovery seems a bit weak. how does one use it when the machine won't boot from the backup/restore DVD it created???

[18:55] void_pointer: references? how do you mean? [18:56] jalonso, never mind. Programming "joke" [18:56] void_pointer, nope. seems as if one must order it from them on line. another 20USD! [18:56] void_pointer: OHHH! lol, I never was good at C++ [18:57] izzaboo, cripes ... well, if it is a just installed/new installation you should be able to shrink it without losing anything [18:57] izzaboo, or affecting anything [18:58] void_pointer, ya. I'm not afraid of losing any data. I just don't want to lose my paid-for copy of XP (for various reasons). [18:58] izzaboo, well you can use a demo/trial copy of partition magic to shrink it [18:58] void_pointer, and they make it quite clear that if you wipe the whole drive their recovery system won't work.... [18:59] void_pointer, partition magic. I'll look into it. thanks! [18:59] izzaboo: Do you not have the license key for that copy of windows? [18:59] izzaboo, yeah, they are talking about that first partition, the "recovery" one [18:59] heh first thing I do is wipe the whole drive ... :) [19:00] warriorforged, you'd think I would! I've not been able to find it on the machine or in the docs that came with it. i suppose I need to call Acer... [19:00] izzaboo, if there isn't a trial version, look at this page --> http://www.optimizingpc.com/miscellaneous/resize_windowspartition.html [19:00] any special IRC channel for "remix"?

[19:07] I have an ubuntu box that I'd like to set up mail on. I don't need to receive mail, but I'd like all outgoing mail to go through a smart host (the department's smtp server). What's the easiest way to do that? [19:08] I have a small but weird problem with Ubuntu 9.04 on my Dell Latitude E5400, whenever X goes [19:08] waltman, set it up in your email client. Outgoing server [19:08] postfix is installed, but it look like it was never configured. [19:08] kevliu: Because you can search for something like: mail in nthe descriptions and get info on ALL the mail-related pages [19:08] hey guys, I had an ati card in then i put a better nvidia card in. now i cant seem to get the drivers to install. i have tried envy also [19:08] kevliu, if you'd like to know of other pages that reference a command, configuration file, function, etc. [19:08] Hmmm. [19:08] I see. [19:08] So man -k malloc [19:08] I have a small but weird problem with Ubuntu 9.04 on my Dell Latitude E5400, whenever X goes down, my screen starts to flicker, that is untill somthing user than just plain text comes on screen [19:09] Will list all the man pages that reference the "malloc" keyboard?

[19:09] waltman, you can still direct the php mail() call to use the SMTP server you want to use [19:09] So I see. Thanks. [19:09] kevliu: see my man -k encryption above [19:09] kevliu: apropos is also a terminal command. [19:10] or man -K [19:10] Hmmm. [19:10] I'm still not entirely clear on when I would use man -k [19:11] waltman, but if you just want to set up postfix it's pretty easy [19:11] kevliu: the apropos man page gives discription of what man -k does [19:11] if I want to change my tty text size [19:11] I know I can do setterm [19:11] but how can I make it default on startup [19:11] kevliu: When you're searching for a command to do 'something', man -k something. [19:11] kevliu: like in my example, I wanted something that does encryption, but I didn't know which man page to look at [19:11] Oh, okay.

I can see my mac with my eeepc, but not vice versa. I'm running eeebuntu and snow leopard [19:13] waltman, the easiest way is just to put the right SMTP server into php.ini [19:13] does it need a sendmail command? [19:13] pipa: As a side note just so you know, runlevels 2-5 are identical in ubuntu/debian [19:13] pipa, press ALT + CTRL + F2 and you will be in a new terminal log in [19:14] carresmd: How are you? [19:14] waltman, it needs a working email system to send through. So just adjust php.ini as necessary [19:14] pipa, ALT + CTRL + F7 will bring you back [19:14] sendmail_path [19:14] waltman, no, just the SMTP setting [19:14] carresmd: Great :-) [19:14] ok thanks every one just not thinking.. [19:14] so php's smart enough to get mail to a working remote smtp server without any email on its own local box? cool. [19:15] carresmd: Thanks for the patch btw [19:15] waltman: php has a handler to sendmail [19:15] nice [19:15] carresmd: Oh well.. I'll see you [19:16] waltman, ah, you are on an ubuntu box wanting to do that? [19:16] carresmd: ping [19:17] waltman: /usr/sbin/sendmail /usr/lib/sendmail [19:17] waltman, in which case, you'll need to install an MTA. Like postfix.

[20:53] donaldo, I dont know then, I was just saying what mine uses for subwoofer.. might/not be the same on yours.. Googled it? [20:55] duffydack: [20:55] I already have a year like this. And I have not found information. [20:56] it's the keyserver working? [20:56] I hope I have the USB stick lying around somewhere so I can actually do the reinstall.. :P [20:56] dont you have the disk,Miko [20:57] Nope. I got Ubuntu-stick. :P [20:57] LOL [20:57] i put Ubuntu on my USB 4gig stick, and i loved the install [20:57] Nice [20:57] worked great [20:57] what program can i use to watch my movies? [20:57] VLC [20:57] mplayer [20:57] totem [20:57] bsplayer [20:57] Movie Player lags, and doesn't show subtitles [20:57] xine [20:57] Of course, I have Windows, so if all else fails, I can start using it instead. :P [20:57] Windows sucks [20:58] VLC is nice :) [20:58] i havewindows 7 [20:58] virtualbox [20:58] you like windows 7? [20:58] should i download VLC? [20:58] hello? [20:58] I like Windows 7. [20:58] <_s_k_y_> VLC is the best [20:58] i use VLC on my windows box [20:58] VLC has a good backend but the UI is still kinda ugly, not very native, and obviously built by engineers [20:58] No,but i am a poker addict,i need windows 7 .. lol [20:58] how to make a good OS.... make a bad one before it.. [20:58] windows 7 is best [20:59] how can I set a global proxy for ubuntu that all internet protocols should use? [20:59] VLC is good,but the latest version has some trouble playing dvd's. [20:59] i need to get a copy of Windows 7 [20:59] yes mee to [20:59] i Have it [20:59] LOL [20:59] VLC is not on synaptic :( [20:59] go to add/remove [20:59] apt-get install vlc [20:59] windows 7 is wayy better than any windows releas [20:59] shoss, go to your terminal and type in 'sudo ccsm' [20:59] DonBrazini: how so? [21:00] I just got Ubuntu for the first time and i'm trying it out on my eee pc netbook, i'm just wondering is there any way to disable your trackpad while typing. It's gotten very annoying when tying out longer documents? thanks in advance! [21:00] duffydack i am on ubuntu [21:00] is it really surprising (or impressive) that the latest release of some software is the best version so far? [21:00] boscopyou dont agree? [21:00] neptune_, snap [21:00] ED6EY: Fn+F7 works for me [21:00] i have apt-get but i was told it's for kubuntu [21:00] neptune_, you were told wrong. [21:00] Two4: i got the compizconfig settings manager [21:01] ED6EY: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad#Disabling%20the%20Touchpad%20Temporarily%20While%20Typing [21:01] ED6EY, disabling your touch pad is an option your laptop has now the Operating System [21:01] I mean disable it auto then reenable auto after some given delay [21:01] usually its a Function key, for me its Fn (Function) + F7 [21:01] saru,you ever got any sound problems? [21:02] shoss, any luck with that? [21:02] saru, [21:02] i haven't used Ubuntu for that long myself [21:02] I have an issue with my windows not popping up in front of each other. Say I have firefox open and I launch Computer from Places, it will go behind firefox and not in front. [21:02] no sound issues that i know of... [21:02] Devhald,u using compiz? [21:02] my sound went off after the updates [21:02] :| [21:02] XDevHald, do you have your firefox on "always ontop"? [21:02] Eevee: thank you will try this [21:03] right click on the menu bar and make sure it doesn't say always on top [21:03] Two4: not yet, i've been all over that menu but so far couldn't find it [21:03] neptune_, smplayer is also a good player [21:04] I can't bring windows to the 2nd desktop (gnome) by dragging them to the side of the screen. Anyone know what's wrong? [21:05] assinine, might need to enable viewport switcher plugin in compiz [21:05] i have all desktop effects turned off, duffydack [21:05] "none" [21:06] I think it may be under the settings for the desktop cube in the desktop category, shoss [21:06] assinine, do you mean multi monitors? [21:06] no [21:06] assinine, virtual desktops then? [21:06] thx [21:07] no the 2nd desktop ubuntu has to the right by default. [21:07] assinine, its a compiz effect.. [21:07] Two4: that's the settings for the cube's transparency, i need the desktop transparency.. [21:07] hi all [21:07] assinine, needs cube or the wall [21:07] hi all [21:07] duffydack: what is the wall? [21:08] I think they may be one and the same, judging by the forum posts [21:08] im total linux noob who can help lol [21:08] assinine, plugins for compiz.. you need to enable cube or the wall. [21:08] duffydack: what is "the wall"? [21:08] how can I set a global proxy for ubuntu that all internet protocols should use? [21:08] wullie43: don't ask to ask, just ask [21:08] shoss, [21:09] go to [21:09] it was just complete coincidence that these two unrelated problems intersected in the same topic at the same time? [21:09] assinine, you cant drag windows to other desktops like that unless you have compiz enabled. metacity doesnt allow that [21:09] desktop cube [21:09] Is there a way to indent the newlines from the output of a `fold` command? [21:09] duffydack: but I've done it before without turning anything on. [21:09] desktop cube->transparent cube->opacity when not rotating. [21:10] it will cure your "problem" [21:10] DonBrazini1: Yes I am using compiz [21:10] what was ur problem,devhald? [21:10] Opening a window and it going behind others and not in front. [21:10] [21:10] operate as an integrated subwoofer toshiba x205 laptop with realteck ALC268, anyone know? [21:11] assinine, for that effect you would have had compiz enabled.. with the desktop wall or cube plugin... Ive never known plain old metacity do that. [21:11] I always seem to forget how to do this option. [21:11] DonBrazini1: yes! thank you! [21:11] er, donaldo, your first line was omitted, please send again [21:11] you are welcome,shoss :) [21:11] devhald [21:11] Two4: DonBrazini1 found it.. thank you [21:11] assinine, I think you can drag a window from the desktop switcher applet in panel like that, but not from an actual desktop [21:11] its something to do with compiz settings [21:11] Correct [21:11] will look inti it [21:11] Thank you. [21:11] yeah i knew that i just forgot where i changed it :p [21:12] be back in a few [21:12] Shoss,new to ubuntu? [21:12] Is there a way to indent the newlines from the output of a `fold` command? [21:12] DonBrazini1: yes i am [21:12] migrated from vista :p [21:12] aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa [21:12] DonBrazini1: It looks to be something with the focus for the windows. [21:12] Is there a command to see what my proxy server and port? [21:12] VLC doesn't show my subtitles [21:12] good thing,vista sucks [21:12] [21:12] if anyone knows how to configure an integrated subwoofer toshiba x205 laptop with Realtek ALC268? [21:13] its like it doesn't have greek characters [21:13] no problem [21:13] how can i find the german ubuntu channel [21:13] !de [21:13] In den meisten ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen. Für deutschsprachige Hilfe besuchen Sie bitte #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #edubuntu-de oder #ubuntu-at. Geben Sie einfach /join #ubuntu-de ein! Danke für Ihr Verständnis. [21:14] Anyone know a command to see what my proxy server and port is? [21:14] Nadroj: your question is too vague [21:14] Two4, do you know when the next version of ubuntu will come out? [21:14] the website [21:14] april 2010 [21:14] no [21:14] thats the version after karmic [21:14] karmic is october [21:14] DonBrazini1, next year? [21:14] jrib: What else do you need? [21:15] the stable version,yes,next year [21:15] motorr, I don't. check the documentation on karmic koala, though [21:15] ok thanks [21:15] Nadroj: how did you set it? === kx is now known as Guest86859 [21:15] jrib: I'm not sure if there is one set, so i'm asking is there a command to check? [21:16] g'day, is there a way I can easily upgrade from Ubuntu Jaunty desktop edition to Ubuntu Netbook Remix? [21:16] No [21:16] you will need to have a netbook for that [21:16] Nadroj: 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] Nadroj: why do you want this? [21:16] DonBrazini1: I am using a netbook. It has stock Jaunty installed, want to switch to UNR [21:16] hi when I go into my LXDF desktop the NBR also pops up in the background. I want to get rid of it permentaly. How can I do this? [21:16] Anyone 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? [21:17] Is the ubuntu keyserver down? [21:17] yeah,then you can ... download the netbook remix,install it,i guess,thats the best way. [21:17] Otacon,yeah,i guess. [21:17] Otacon22: many people have asked the same question, so probably yes [21:17] jrib: I just want to know what my proxy is. I'm not sure if I'm behind one, so is there a terminal command to check? [21:17] Nadroj: check the value of http_proxy... [21:17] phoenixz: Are you sure the printer is working? If it doesn't work in windows, and it doesn't work in Ubuntu. . . [21:17] DonBrazini1: http://www.mail-archive.com/compiz@lists.launchpad.net/msg01438.html [21:18] jrib: Where can I find that? === Guest86859 is now known as vikx [21:18] Nadroj: echo $http_proxy [21:18] DonBrazini1, you could start by just installing the interface "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-netbook-remix" [21:18] jrib: Echoed back nothing. [21:18] Blank line. [21:18] hello, does anyone know if there's a program in ubuntu that can read .one (one note) files? I unfortunately have one here and can't open it [21:18] Nadroj: then it's not set [21:18] purpzey: The same problem is there in windows and in ubuntu.. [21:19] phoenixz: Right, I am suggesting that maybe the issue is with the printer. [21:19] Zykotik,indeed,but it will be upgraded,lots of problems in that. [21:19] jrib: Thank you. [21:19] hairywombat001: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-ubuntu-netbook-remix-in-ubuntu-810804.html for intrepid, ought to be similar for jaunty [21:19] Nadroj: you could probably use traceroute to check differently [21:19] i have my sound down because of an update [21:19] enduser, hold on. let me see [21:19] eevee: thanks man! [21:19] Two4: thanks [21:19] sure [21:19] purpzey: I'd think so too, but what could cause just slow printing? its all perfect, prints without problem but one page of texts takes like 30 minutes [21:20] thats.. just weird.. [21:20] DonBrazini1, you'll get the update probably the exact same in Stock or UNR?!?! [21:20] phoenixz: If the printer was physically broken somehow, just a guess if it doesn't work in two O/Ses. [21:20] UNR , it will cause upgradation problems. [21:20] as in [21:21] the sound might not play,kernel wont accept the sound card. [21:21] Hey quick question, how do you restart the Ubuntu X Manager without restarting the computer, looks like Ctrl+Alt+Backspace is disabled [21:21] !dontzap | saru [21:21] saru: 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] DonBrazini1, you'll be getting the same Kernel updates on both systems - it's the same OS when it comes down to it [21:21] saru: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [21:22] * LjL slaps jrib for ignoring invoke-rc.d [21:22] Zykotick,have you ever upgraded from a previous distro to a new one? [21:22] saru: you can do "sudo /etc/initd./gdm restart" in a terminal or "gksu /etc/initd./gdm restart" in the run (alt+f2) prompt [21:22] LjL: I was gonna go with sudo service gdm restart but wanted to provoke you [21:22] i run hamachi on my ubuntu server but i cant browse files from samba, can it be my iptables firewall? [21:22] UNR is only a few packages to install....well it was when I first tried it. [21:22] jrib: only fair. [21:22] i want a net book :( [21:22] ( [21:22] trying... sudo apt-get install ubuntu-netbook-remix [21:23] all done [21:23] thanks for the tips guys [21:23] hey guys [21:23] ^ so theres a metapackage now... it was maximus and some other things before :) nice [21:23] time to reboot and see what happens :) [21:23] DonBrazini1, I'll sell you one ;-) [21:23] DonBrazini1, 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. [21:24] i will give you an offer that you can not refuse :p; [21:24] LOL [21:24] isnt that all people care about really..the only reason to use UNR is for the interface.. [21:24] anyone know if the UNR works with touchscreen? [21:24] just curious [21:24] Zykotick,my bad. :P === Labrador is now known as K4rl [21:25] Holy cow I just discovered my compiz expo plugin [21:25] I have a wireless router that I've misconfigured. I want to overwrite the firmware via tftp, but I don't know what the IP address of the router is. [21:25] shwoop-shOOoop [21:25] shwoop-shOOoop [21:25] ccsm makes configuring compiz easy [21:25] Two4, awesome isnt it [21:26] FoolishOwl, your DNS should be the IP to the router [21:26] usually like 192.168.1.1 or something [21:26] YES! [21:26] my sound isnt working,help ma :| [21:26] me* [21:26] saru, I'm not using the router to connect to the Internet, currently. [21:27] it should still have a Local IP === sale_ is now known as sale [21:27] all those plugins and I dont touch the keyboard to use em :) [21:27] FoolishOwl, don't know if this is really the channel for this, not that I mind ;-) [21:27] FoolishOwl, what firmware are you using? [21:27] Right, it should have an IP address, but I don't know how to determine what it is. [21:27] anyone? [21:27] connect it to your computer [21:27] I'll move to a different channel if there's one more appropriate. [21:27] and do a ipconfig or ifconfig [21:27] HI MATT [21:27] I am trying to remove a program (directory) but the only way to do it file by file I forgot the command [21:28] HI MIKE!! [21:28] It is connected to my computer now. [21:28] is there a plugin that i need to install to listen to radio stations streaming music? [21:28] HOW ARE YOU MATTHEW [21:28] FoolishOwl, i was only giving you a hard time im not the IRC police [21:28] I haven't yet changed the firmware. [21:28] well if your connected to the router do a ifconfig under linux or ipconfig under windows [21:28] xguru, try streamtuner [21:28] scott_ino2: thanks [21:28] xguru, although many other players should work as well [21:28] it should list your connected devices and give you a DNS IP for the router [21:28] At one point, I was trying to change it to wireless access point mode, and I haven't been able to access the thing since. [21:29] xguru, are you yrying to do it via a website, or through an application [21:29] saru, it doesn't report an IP address for it. [21:29] well in firefox it opened up a flash windows, but nothing played...just stayed black [21:29] you using windows? [21:29] web [21:29] FoolishOwl, so stock firmware, if you hard reset router should go back to being 192.168.1.1 [21:29] No, Ubuntu. [21:29] scott_ino2, that's part of the puzzle. For some reason, the hard reset doesn't work. [21:30] FoolishOwl, try clicking this link.. http://192.168.1.1 [21:30] FoolishOwl, give me one sec [21:30] see if that connects you to your router [21:30] FoolishOwl, sometimes hard resets can be weird... i have some suggestions [21:30] you could go to google [21:30] I'd love to read them. [21:30] xguru, do you have a link i can sample to check for you [21:30] and look up your model number for the router and find the manual. [21:31] I am trying to mount my old SATA hard drive in a live session with windows XP installed on it. It seems like windows has marked it as in use: http://imgur.com/DZkJv.png [21:31] FoolishOwl, on some routers you literally have to hold the button down for 30-45 seconds have you made sure you've done that [21:31] I just want to copy old files to back them up before formatting [21:31] firefox question here. firefox crashes every time I go away from start page. what gives? [21:31] saely remove it [21:31] That might be it. [21:31] and then use it [21:31] FoolishOwl, try that first, if not let me know [21:31] safely remove it in windows [21:31] can i pate a url here, or message it to you? [21:32] I can't as I don't have a computer with a SATA port [21:32] xguru, if it's long message me [21:32] http://www.channel955.com/main.html [21:32] i don't know if anyone here was on earlier when I was asking about installing Ubuntu on AAO D250 and I wasn't having the option to install it "side by side"...but I burned a CD with the .iso and booted from that. Now I have the option. crazy. same image i used to make my liveUSB stick [21:32] i dunno then,ubuntu wont mount it === Fox3211 is now known as Fox [21:32] scott_ino2: on the right it says "on air" just click that...i couldn't copy the direct url for some reason [21:32] xguru, k let me check [21:33] is there an option in Ubuntu or Compiz that dims your brightness if you don't use your mouse or keyboard for a few mins? [21:33] xguru, this is a flash based player but works for me, do you have flash installed [21:33] ubuntu has [21:33] dunoo bout compiz [21:33] how do you disable it? [21:34] scott_ino2: yes, it comes up with an arrow on most sites and i click it to view it.. [21:34] i have a .rpm package , how do i install it using alien? [21:34] !alien [21:34] RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) [21:34] how can i remove a directory tried rm sudo -r but I am getting this error descend into directory [21:34] How do I unmark my SATA drive as "in use?" [21:35] xguru, when you click "listen live" does it launch a new window for you and launch the player? [21:35] krammer: is "rm -r foldername" [21:35] system->preferences->power management [21:35] i cant get emerald to work [21:35] I restored (with Clonezilla) my dual boot windows/Ubuntu system. The Windows system partition was encrypted with Truecrypt. When I restored, the system reverted to the Grub boot loader. Anyone have any idea how I can force the system to go back to the truecrypt bootloader? [21:35] enduser, I'm not finding much. the extension is proprietary, so I don't think open source developers want to touch it [21:35] scott_ino2: no it does open a new window. In that window i have a huge background with an grayish arrow. When i usually click these windows they load in though [21:35] how do i install a .rpm package using alien? [21:35] erUSUL, I am getting descending into directory? [21:36] DonBrazini1, thanks [21:36] got it working :) [21:36] pleasure [21:36] krammer: any other error ? [21:36] no [21:36] I guess i will try again. Anyone a firefox guru? [21:36] xguru, hmmm that's not what happened for me, I got a loading screen and then it displayed all the controls along with other ads,pictures [21:36] hey. where is the grub.conf file?? [21:36] another words I am being asked to descend the directory [21:36] i use chromium [21:36] :P [21:36] i had the first window set, but on the second tab there was another idle check box i missed :) [21:36] xguru, what [21:36] grub.conf is not in /boot/grub/ [21:37] krammer: 'sudo' goes first. it looks like you're trying to delete a file named 'sudo'. and the switches go after the command name. you want 'sudo rm -r ' [21:37] s your environment? most recent ubuntu, 32 or 64 bit, firefox ? [21:37] ill try it thanks [21:37] karmic, and firefox 3.5.3 [21:37] thanks you guys [21:38] it wont load, fusion icon, alt f2 emerald replace. it wont come up anymore [21:38] emerald --replace that is [21:38] scott_ino2, no luck so far. One odd thing is that when I executed "sudo ifdown eth0," part of the response is "DHCPRELEASE on eth0 to 192.168.2.1 port 67" [21:39] I would think that would mean that it *had* connected to 192.168.2.1 at some point. [21:39] scott_ino2: whats the best way to see if i still have the up to date flash? [21:39] "boys drool girls rule mavens mule" -- quoth the WORKHORSE [21:39] where should i put bash scripts so they are executable from anywhere? [21:40] /usr/local/bin [21:40] xguru, any reason you're using karmic? it's beta you know right? === DepthSort` is now known as DepthSort [21:40] !karmic [21:40] Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 29th, 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [21:40] yea, i only have it on this laptop. [21:41] k just wanted to make sure you were using it intentionally [21:41] xguru do you still have firefox 3.0.14 installed or no? [21:41] yea 9.04 has alot of hardware issues...supposedly fixed in 9.10 already [21:41] oh wait you're using karmic nevermind [21:41] why wont my emerald load? [21:41] 9.04 [21:41] nope. 3.5.3 [21:41] !emerald [21:41] 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. [21:41] xguru, yes 9.10 fixed a Lot...

[21:42] mikeymike, sudo su [21:42] OH DUH [21:42] HAHAHA [21:42] i always forget that! [21:42] xguru, sorry i can't assist more, as im not running karmic, perhaps i can try and install in vmware and test, im in this channel a lot [21:42] why can't i save a bash script in to usr/local/bin ? [21:42] !rootshell [21:42] Using !sudo with single commands is preferable in most circumstances. However, if you really need a root shell, use « sudo -i » (other variants of this commands are redundant and/or potentially dangerous) [21:42] this may be the wrong channel to ask, but i cant get onto certain networks on irc [21:43] ubottu, thanks botty :) [21:43] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [21:43] djbpython: you have to use sudo to writte there [21:43] scott_ino2: no need, thanks for the help....i'll just do some more reading :) [21:43] Can I do a minimal install, just the CLI with a live xubuntu CD? [21:43] make sure you are typing '/usr/local/bin' and not just 'usr/local/bin' (note the leading slash) [21:43] erUSUL, but I am using gedit [21:43] Is there a way to scan for wireless networks at the command line?

[21:44] erUSUL, beat me to it [21:44] haha, I have to make a copy then move it? [21:44] dedal: do not advise that silly thing... [21:45] hello [21:45] so it will be ubuntu software center and not store :) [21:45] FoolishOwl, its possible it's not wlan0 it could be eth1 or eth2 whatever your device is [21:45] djbpython: you should have used « gksudo gedit » in thwe first place so the error is between the chair and the keyboard not in linux === _CShadowRun is now known as CShadowRun [21:45] FoolishOwl, mine is: iwlist eth1 scan [21:45] why is this command not working: mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda5 /media/Local Disk -o force [21:46] FoolishOwl, what type of router do you have? [21:46] erUSUL, possibly, but don't you see the backwardness of such a process? [21:46] i suspect it's the /media/Local Disk ?? spaces in linux console? [21:46] mikeymike: it would help to see the error you get [21:46] hi... i`m new in ubuntu... how can i make mi sound to work 5+1? i have a realtheck sound card and is working only on 2 channels [21:46] erUSUL, usage instructions [21:46] charakters like ∀ are not displayed in the right way in abiword. How can I fix that? [21:46] thats all [21:46] FoolishOwl, sometimes when you do a hard reset on your router for Netgear for instance it disables Wireless functions === c is now known as Guest72997 [21:46] can someone verify that for me please... irc.abjects.net is down from my machine... can anyone verify [21:46] I've made a file, I want to save it to my filesystem, but before I can I need to jump through these extra hoops [21:46] djbpython: i see why it is needed. to prevent linux to become a virus loaded windows clone [21:46] FoolishOwl, I can't stress enough how awesome and better an open firmware is (I use dd-wrt) [21:47] irc.p2p-network.net [21:47] saru, a Belkin F5D-7230-4002 [21:47] scott_ino2: open firmware? where? [21:47] erUSUL, it's just giving useage options... as if the command was issued incorrectly [21:47] well at least have gedit/nautilus give me a root password prompt like if I were to run synaptic [21:47] scott_ino2: u asked if i had flash installed. I double checked because somethings get confused during upgrades. Sure enough it hadn't been installed [21:47] seidos, google dd-wrt, tomato firmware [21:47] scott_ino2, what do you mean by open firmware? [21:47] xguru, yay so does it work now [21:47] djbpython: if you want to writte whatever you want just install windows. you and anyone else will be able to writte whatever they please virus trojans malware all wriitting all over your hard drive... but hey at least i can too yay!!!

[21:47] saru, an open router firmware such as dd-wrt [21:48] scott_ino2: yes it does.....just wanted to give u some credit....thanks again [21:48] can someone verify that for me please... irc.abjects.net is down from my machine... can anyone verify [21:48] xguru, cool beans! [21:48] if I chmod a directory and I want everything insite that directory to be touched with the same permissins how do I do that ? ..isn't is like chmod +t 644 or something like that? [21:48] why is this command not working: mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda5 /media/Local Disk -o force <--- i suspect it's the /media/Local Disk ?? spaces in linux console? it just tells me how to use the command. as if i did it wrong? [21:48] mikeymike: probably becouse of the space in the mount point name. enclose the name of the mount point in "" [21:48] Hello. If I have a .iso but want to install from a USB-key, how would I convert the .iso to a .img ? [21:48] thats what i thought [21:48] FoolishOwl, yes that is a nice feature, just read up a LOT about dd-wrt bridging, it brought me many pains, and works better on certain routers === nabilla is now known as Nabilla [21:48] erUSUL, how about using the forward slash delineators? [21:48] can you tell me that way [21:48] I think it's broadcasting a wireless signal, so I guess I could try disconnecting from my regular network and connecting to it wirelessly, although it's actually connected by wire right now. [21:49] mikeymike: that's the other option. scape the spaces with \ [21:49] Hey all, I'm trying to get package statistics from aptitude. I want to know when various packages were installed. Is that possible to get? [21:49] can someone verify that for me please... irc.abjects.net is down from my machine... can anyone verify [21:49] Hi. I just bought a Dell Mini with Ubuntu pre-installed. I would like to force it to use the b43 driver, instead of the default wl driver, to connect wireless-ly, but I can't seem to figure out how to do it. Could anyone offer some help, please? [21:49] erUSUL, so it would be "/media/Local Disk" or /media/Local\ Disk ??? [21:49] sdfsd [21:49] fddf [21:49] how can i work on a text for forum and make a backup of the text in background as auto save?

[23:40] bazhang, I haven't found any "up to date" packages. [23:40] The-Compiler: Ok what your wanting help with isn't really Ubuntu support, and so you can try asking in #openoffice.org and/or #ubuntu-offtopic [23:40] is impossible [23:41] szeck, let me try [23:41] found one ... when I tried to install it, it was from "shireko" [23:41] or whatever [23:41] The-Compiler: that seems pretty rude, but someone could just scroll through the frames without reading them anyway [23:41] afallenhope: shiretoko? that's firefox 3.5 [23:41] to myself: yes you can with 2 netword cards, iprout2 and luck [23:41] afallenhope, it is the most up to date, named that until the next release [23:41] ok bazhang, if u can try for me.... thanks [23:41] hikenboot: checkout packages.ubuntu.com.. ppc isn't officaly supported but the current port is maintained by the community these days. (I believe this is the case) [23:42] Hi. I'm dual booting Windows Vista and Ubuntu 9.04 with Grub, and I just got Windows 7, so I want to wipe my Vista partition and install 7 over it - what do I have to do so I can boot Linux again after installing Windows 7? [23:42] sebsebseb: 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 either [23:42] !grub | mdkess [23:42] mdkess: 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 [23:42] The-Compiler: I think KOffice has a presentation program as well [23:42] Woo, thanks [23:42] does anyone know of a free email service that doesn't filter with DULs? [23:42] mdkess, restore grub as the link above [23:42] The-Compiler: plus you can Wine Powerpoint [23:42] anyone know how to get tablet button working for lifebook T4220 on 9.04? [23:42] sinthetek, that is offtopic here [23:43] Biovore, thanks for the idea but to let you understand what i am doing i am using apt-mirror to download the repositories to a machine without internet connection [23:43] bazhang yes, it is. [23:43] firefox 3.5.3 is the latest.. ver of ff [23:43] or, well, is there any video format which doesn't allow skipping? [23:43] heh [23:43] afallenhope: yes [23:43] bazhang [23:43] afallenhope, and that is what I have, from the repos [23:43] how do i add a package to my Synaptic thats not on the list [23:44] The-Compiler: just give 'em an exam later. [23:44] !ff35 | afallenhope [23:44] afallenhope: Firefox 3.5 Final is available for Jaunty by installing the package firefox-3.5 and firefox-3.5-gnome-support | FF3.5 is referred to as Shiretoko in your UI, see http://is.gd/1reB3 for an explanation | Hardy & Intrepid: http://is.gd/1jkNY [23:44] bazhang, where did you find it at? or is it named shiretoko or wahtever [23:44] szeck, please be patient [23:44] hi, i have an "Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device" and i have several questions in mind. first, kde runs too slow. can i expect more from this old "gpu"? is there a way to make kde run less eye-candy? [23:44] !intel | naxa [23:44] naxa: 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. [23:44] naxa: ARe yiou on 9.04? [23:44] afallenhope, as I explained, yes; it is named such until the next release of ubuntu [23:44] bazhang, yes, i'm impatient!! :D [23:44] lol @ google :D Request-URI Too Large [23:45] The requested URL /accounts/ServiceLogin... is too large to process [23:45] How do I modify env PATH variable ? [23:45] okay. I just read that [23:45] hmm.. how would I update to karmic/ [23:45] bambam_: PATH=somepath:$PATH [23:45] sudo apt-get dist-upgrade? [23:45] afallenhope: don't do that yet [23:45] prince_jammys: THANKS alot [23:45] afallenhope: it's still in development verisons right now, and so buggy [23:45] afallenhope: karmic is still pretty broken [23:45] bambam_: you put it in your .profile and re-login [23:45] afallenhope: sudo update manager -d when it's out. [23:45] afallenhope: The final will be on October 29th [23:46] I couldnt find syntax for the command [23:46] how can I convert a mkv video to something else? [23:46] bah. okay. [23:46] afallenhope: just use the shiretoko build, it's current. and karmic is out in a month [23:46] Nattgew: avidemux, mencoder, ffmpeg ... [23:46] prince_jammys: I think PATH=/home/me/scripts:$PATH will permanently change the path variable [23:46] isnt it ? [23:47] bambam_: what are you changing it for? [23:47] sebsebseb, yes, 9.04 [23:47] bambam_: there's already something like that in your default profile, only the dir is ~/bin [23:47] Hi, 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] bambam_: if you have a ~/bin dir, it gets added to your PATH on login. [23:47] prince_jammys: I found a guide that uses "-oac mp3lame -lameopts vbr=3" but mencoder says that -lameopts is not valid... [23:47] naxa: Ok well as erUSUL already pointed out by using the !intel bot trigger, 9.04 has Intel graphics card issues [23:48] naxa: so if yours is working reasonably well, consider yourself lucky [23:48] are there any packages in jaunty or karmic that are functionally equivalent to gnump3d for streaming media off a server? === mac9416 is now known as macOut [23:48] Nattgew: sorry, I'm clueless of details. I always look them up when needed. Look into avidemux also. [23:48] thanks [23:48] naxa: I read that 9.10 will have Intel graphic card fixes, but that's not out untill October 29th [23:48] prince_jammys: See I have just started learning shell scripting and wrote my first script but wasnt able to run it due to path issue [23:48] szeck, 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] bambam_: is it fixed? [23:49] so I just need to add a scripts folder in my home directory so that I can run scripts by writing their names [23:49] bazhang, ur italian? [23:49] bambam_: the standard place for your personal scripts is /home/you/bin . Of course, you can make it whatever you want. [23:49] szeck, why is that important [23:49] does the ubuntu shiretoko use the same plugins and stuff or do I have to re-install flash support? [23:49] I think PATH=SDA/SAD:$PATH command should do it [23:49] afallenhope: it's similar to the proper one [23:49] bambam_: add that line to ~/.profile [23:49] afallenhope, same, though some do not work as it is so new [23:49] bambam_: if you just want to run a script from the current directory, just do ./script.sh [23:49] afallenhope: so Flash and plugins will work [23:50] it still says I'm using 3.0 [23:50] sebsebseb, ok, then I'll wait 'til 9.10 [23:50] Eevee: really ? [23:50] i'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] naxa: and when waiting for 9.10 what will you do? [23:50] bazhang is not important [23:50] bambam_: yeah. the shell only checks $PATH if you don't give a pathname. ./ is a path, so it will run the script just fine [23:51] afallenhope: yes 3.0 series will still be installed unless you removed it yourself, you will have 3.5 as shiretoko [23:51] I lost all audio on my system, been up and working for 2+ years now, Ubuntu 8.04, any and all help appreciated [23:51] Buenas x] [23:51] I'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] Okay, 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] prince_jammys: Eevee : Thanks guys ! your solution works, especially running the script with ./ is really easy way which I didnt knew ! [23:51] naxa: ah ha I see it's also an old card [23:51] try fix broke coommend [23:51] bambam_: if you are writing scripts, it's easier to add your script dir to your PATH [23:51] naxa: 9.10 might not be the magical fix for your card [23:52] prince_jammys & Eevee: Have nice day, thanks and bye [23:52] welcome [23:52] buba1_home: sure, np [23:52] er bambam_* [23:52] naxa: your card will probably work better in 8.10 though, and also rather well in 8.04 the long term support [23:52] tab-complete is not loving me today [23:52] [Ubuntu 8.10] I installed Partition Manager and when I try to boot using it, I get "Error 23: Error parsing number" [23:53] sebsebseb, 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] naxa: 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 better [23:53] [Ubuntu 8.10] I installed Partition Manager and when I try to boot using it, I get "Error 23: Error parsing number" [23:54] i need help with transcode [23:54] Okay, 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? [23:54] naxa: KDE is slow hmm, how much RAM? [23:54] what's up with launchpad? it won't let me report bugs... redirects to wiki [23:54] how can i choose an audio stream and the bitrate of the output file? [23:54] !lxde [23:54] Sorry, I don't know anything about lxde [23:54] !LXDE [23:54] Sorry, I don't know anything about LXDE [23:54] hm [23:54] go to their site/irc channel, if they have one. [23:54] naxa: maybe KDE 3 would be better, on that computer, than KDE4, and 8.04 has full support for it from the repo [23:55] !fishing | zebastian [23:55] !fish [23:55] zebastian: Please investigate with me only with "/msg ubottu Bot" or in #ubuntu-bots.

[23:55] Sorry, I don't know anything about fish [23:55] Dannyboy just caught a 27kg Old Tire [23:55] sebsebseb, maybe it is true. however i "noticed" another problem. i use both windows and ubuntu, but for a half year, i have very serious problem with ubuntu with this card, it simply didn't worked, only show black screen in 9/10 cases. finally i found out that i have to set more memory for it in bios. but i don't understand why was this a case in ubuntu and why could windows live with it? i am very curious, really [23:55] what's the command to get lxde? [23:55] i know it's available from the repos [23:55] sebsebseb, yeah, ram is also an issue. i think i have 512 mb of ram only. how can i check? :) maybe it's just 256 :D [23:55] i tried sudo aptitude install lxde-desktop and it didn't work [23:56] zebastian, just lxde [23:56] naxa: free -m and there are some other commands to check for RAM [23:56] naxa: Do you have a SWAP? [23:56] naxa: If so how big is it? [23:56] heya! what's the best way to mount a remote fs from a ubuntu server to a ubuntu desktop? [23:57] kandjar: I suggest sshfs [23:57] [Ubuntu 8.10] I installed Partition Manager and when I try to boot using it, I get "Error 23: Error parsing number" [23:57] !sshfs | kandjar [23:57] kandjar: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHFS [23:57] zebastian : why don´t you install it from synaptic [23:57] current i m using sshfs; works nice; but I don't need such encryption in my lan :) i would be happy with faster transfer :) [23:57] MenZa: :) [23:57] zebastian: what is your ubuntu release? [23:57] kandjar: sshfs is my personal suggestion; it runs snappy enough for me. [23:57] Okay, 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? [23:57] what does packages cannot be authenticated mean?= [23:58] zebastian :sudo aptitude install lxde [23:58] [Ubuntu 8.10] I installed Partition Manager and when I try to boot using it, I get "Error 23: Error parsing number" [23:58] hmm [23:58] it says it's done [23:58] that was quite fast, i hope all of the files from before got erased, i don't want it to have the same settings as before [23:58] kandjar: sshfs is pretty much the best I've seen. you could try -C to enable ssh compression [23:58] i just deinstalled it to install it from scratch [23:59] prince_jammys: hardy [23:59] brb [23:59] sebsebseb, it says 488 total mem and 494 total swap [23:59] zebastian : did you check ~/home if there is lxde folder with setings [23:59] Prohibited: did you have to type any input?
