[00:00] zvacet: he left. [00:00] there is no lxde package in hardy. He needs to go to their website. [00:00] prince_jammys : didn´t saw [00:00] Eevee: i ll give it a try [00:00] :) [00:00] naxa: Ok sounds like you have 512MB RAM [00:00] hrm, Why doesn't grub `savedefault --default=X --once` work under ubuntu? [00:01] any gtk developers here ? [00:01] there is not lxde in hardy zebastian [00:01] how can i cancel a file move/copy in emelFM2? [00:01] i am using Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty... i was wondering if there is a Kernel update that i need to get upon fresh install? [00:01] bazhang: he left, but is back now [00:01] ok her'es the problem [00:01] zebastian, there is no lxde for hardy [00:01] so my java no longer works [00:01] zebastian: there is no lxde package in hardy. Go to their website. [00:01] um [00:02] yes...i downloaded lxde again [00:02] zebastian, from where [00:02] saru: Most likely. [00:02] how do i go about doing that [00:02] sebsebseb: Hello Sebdude. Alterwebz likes what we seez. Carry on [00:02] saru: As in, not necessarily need it, but there should be one available. [00:02] and how do i find out my current version [00:02] anyway, the problem was this, when i originally got it, actionparsnip or dr_willis help me set up a script so that compiz would be default on login [00:02] sebsebseb, it seems [00:02] saru: Launch the update manager, press "Install Updates"... you're done. [00:02] i wanted to get rid of that [00:02] so i uninstalled lxde [00:02] MasterOfRock: What? [00:02] also I have a rtorrent question: I'm getting: "Inactive: Hash check on download completion found bad chunks, consider using "safe_sync"."; what's should I do to resume and ask rtorrent to try again? [00:02] and reinstalled it [00:02] or what should I do to fix the issue? [00:02] zebastian, where did you install lxde from [00:03] but somehow the settings seem to hav ebeen kept the same [00:03] well im wondering if I am running 2.6.30? [00:03] from the console [00:03] terminal [00:03] naxa: I have a feeling that 8.04 will be better on your older hardware [00:03] sudo aptitude install lxde [00:03] zebastian, then you are NOT using hardy [00:03] saru: Try uname -a in a terminal. That will let you know what kernel you're running. [00:03] naxa: and 9.10 might be pretty good on it when it's released [00:03] bazhang: i am usinghardy [00:03] says im running 2.6.28-15-generic [00:03] zebastian, there is no package lxde for Hardy. [00:03] then how did i get lxde? [00:03] zebastian: from the website [00:03] so how can I get java to work :-| [00:04] maybe i enabled some repo or something [00:04] zebastian, qed you are not running hardy [00:04] sebsebseb: just got a headkick and returned it with ehm... be nice, gotta kill this fucker [00:04] i AM USING HARDY [00:04] zebastian: you probably added their repository. [00:04] yes [00:04] i did that [00:04] !java | afallenhope [00:04] afallenhope: To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository [00:04] now that i remember [00:04] zebastian: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:04] saru: It shouldn't be necessary to update your kernel in most cases. [00:04] zebastian, pastebin your sources.list please [00:04] zebastian: well, that's why you can apt-get install it, then. [00:04] MasterOfRock: Why are you talking to me? [00:04] sebsebseb, i know it's not much today, but i am sad. when we bought our first computer back in 1996, the memory upgrade was an upgrade to 32 mb. the next upgrade was in 2002 what i used until 2005, a 400 mhz cpu with 192 mb ram. it seemed so much. and today, even 512 is not enough, but too small :( i hope 9.10 will be even better. of course i could buy a new hardware, but one thing what i am hoping from ubuntu that it works on slower ma [00:04] chines, too :) [00:04] !language | MasterOfRock [00:04] MasterOfRock: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [00:04] now if i want to get rid of it, but in such a manner that when i reinstall it the settings for it will be gone so i can start from scratch, what do i have to do? [00:04] BiosElement, no. I have the plugin.. just not sure where to put the plugin at [00:04] MenZa, ok, well im reading stuff on intel video drivers and how to make it work better via Xorg etc. [00:04] bazhang: he just added their repo, as indicated in their website. [00:05] saru: You're on Jaunty, yes? [00:05] they were saying one option is to update your kernel to 2.6.30 [00:05] sebsebseb: of course it would work if I would choose the appropriate software versions ;) [00:05] yes i am [00:05] Any suggestions why --once doesn't work under grub? [00:05] prince_jammys, I am not sure, would like to see his sources.list [00:05] saru: The intel driver stick is still a bit funny on Jaunty. It is fixed in Karmic, which should be out soon. [00:05] i'm trying to use partimg to reload a saved partition state, but it's saying "invalid compression level for [partimg file]" [00:05] when does Karmic come out? [00:05] naxa: ok this is what I suggest [00:05] what can i do about this? [00:05] naxa: you say 9.04 doesn't exactly work properly right? [00:05] saru, next month [00:06] hmm maybe i should wait and reinstall... [00:06] the deal is this: i don't want it to use compiz, thing is dr_willis or action parsnip had helped me write a script so compiz would be default, now if i switched or turned compiz off it would be a big mess things wouldn't work, so i've decided, uninstall it, install it and start from scratch, i did that the problem is, for some reason the settings are the same as those beforee the uninstall install [00:06] what do i have to do? [00:06] purge? [00:06] is their a site i can read the reviews on what updates they have done to the intel section? [00:06] naxa: download the 8.10 and 8.04.3 ISO's burn them to CD, and install one for now, then when 9.10 is out, you can try that from Live CD as well before deciding to install it [00:06] zebastian: where did you put the script? [00:06] cat /etc/apt/sources.list ------> paste.ubuntu.com zebastian [00:06] saru: You *can* upgrade to Karmic, but it's generally not recommended on a production system. I have an Intel card, and I certainly don't get amazing video performance from Jaunty, but I'll live with it until Karmic is out. [00:06] prince_jammys: i don't remember [00:07] naxa: or not [00:07] I'm running Karmic right now, and the intel stuff is much improved. [00:07] bazhang: i added their repo from th e website, i remember now, case closed [00:07] MenZa, im just trying to get it working properly with WineHQ [00:07] That being said, I had good luck with the UXA fix for the intel chips in Jaunty. [00:07] saru: What, you're trying to play games on your machine? [00:07] zebastian, good luck [00:07] World of Warcraft [00:07] yes [00:07] sebsebseb, thanks for the advice, but it's more curiosity here than, well, actual problem solving. i have every ubuntu from 7.04, but i think i have some 6.x, too. i just find it stimulating to test many OS and I wanted to try and set my ubuntu the way i want it [00:07] saru: What graphics card do you have? [00:08] naxa: well 9.04 isn't the release for Intel graphic cards [00:08] prince_jammys: is there a way for me to find the log through google? to see where the lxde was put in [00:08] sebsebseb, i mean I use this hard drive with ubuntu on several computers, the other one has geforce 8xxx [00:08] lxde script* [00:08] zebastian: when did you have that irc conversation? you can probably find it in the logs, or search your system. [00:08] sebsebseb, ok :) [00:08] about a week and a half ago [00:08] Jaunty 9.04 is also not the release for anyone that wants to use Kile for Latex. [00:08] !1984 > zebastian [00:08] zebastian, please see my private message [00:08] two weeks tops rince [00:09] haha 1984 thatt's a good one [00:09] MenZa, Intel Corportation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller [00:09] saru: I wouldn't expect very good performance with WoW on that card, even on Windows. [00:09] ok how do i google into all of the conversations of the past month? [00:09] it works under windows... [00:10] is there like an internal google-like search tool? [00:10] saru: Your best bet would be to use Karmic, if you really insist on getting it to work, but I wouldn't recommend using it unless you're absolutely sure what you're doing. [00:10] not the best, but it plays the game under windows. [00:10] can i download Karmic off ubuntu.com? [00:10] sebsebseb, anyway, since it's an usb drive, i'm booting like this: in bios, i press "select boot device" key, and i select usb. grub comes, and then i select my normal ubuntu. however, i always have to wait 30-240 seconds for my ubuntu to (i dunno what? realize that it's on an usb hard drive?) can you help me find out why is this this slow? the kernel is not even loading, really, for 2 minutes. after 2 minutes, kernel starts loading, th [00:10] en ext3 is up and then init starts, then gdm. [00:10] bazhang: well using !1984 instead of !logs seems a bit silly to me, but whatever makes things a little more fun/funny in here I guess [00:11] saru :https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommonQuestions [00:11] saru: just google karmic alpha 6, you get the download site [00:11] !karmic | saru [00:11] saru: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 29th, 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [00:11] will plain google work if i type lxde zebastian irc ubuntu? [00:12] Volule vue, aha... aha.. aha .. aha [00:12] zebastian, no, you need to search the logs as the link I gave you indicates [00:12] naxa: You may want to check whether the USB 2.0 driver is loaded, otherwise it is going to be very slow [00:12] naxa: oh right I see slow boot up, well that's the case for Ubuntu on Ext3, Ext4 improves that by a lot :) [00:12] zebastian: looks like you put in /usr/bin/startcompiz ... which is why you should put locally created stuff in /usr/local/bin. [00:13] naxa: Ext4 isn't exactly perfect though in 9.04 though, because of the kernel they have for it and that, hence why it's optional rather than default, 9.10 has it by default :) [00:13] prince_jammys: GREAT! how do i solve it [00:13] how can I add a non-superuser account to (gui)Ubuntu from the commandline? [00:13] zebastian: verify that that is the file, and if it is, remove it. [00:14] naxa: not for upgrades though [00:14] zebastian: and don't put stuff you create yourself in /usr/bin. I should have said something, because I was there when they told you. [00:14] How do I get all html code of a web page to be stored as a single line. I want a space instead of line breaks. How do I get all text in a line? [00:14] Iceman_B: sudo adduser , then sudo passwd , enter a password for the user, done.

One of them adds a user with a home directory and everything, the other only adds the user account [00:15] MenZa: can I also specify a password of ?

[00:17] does anyone know how to fix the error: Inactive: Hash check on download completion found bad chunks... ??? [00:17] zebastian: yep, that's the script you wrote. If you want it gone, delete it. [00:17] how? [00:17] using rtorrent [00:17] prince_jammys: how? i dont't want to screw anything up [00:17] Do I need to specifically allow an AD user to be able to read the contents of the tree for nss_ldap to be able to pull the info? still getting Invalid Credentials in auth.log [00:18] sebsebseb, can you show me why ext3 makes it slow to boot from usb? i read that when it comes to checking the disk (like "x was mounted 33 times without checking, check forced...") ext4 is faster becouse it keeps a log of what happened to the file system recently. but i don't understand in the first hand, why the grub->to->kernel thing is slow only when the disk is on usb. the kernel and the whole os is fast, only i have to wait for 2 m [00:18] inutes after grub for kernel to even show up (with [000000.032] like timestamp, so it's actually only starts then) [00:18] zebastian: sudo rm /usr/bin/startcompiz . And then we find where they told you to invoke it at startup. [00:18] MenZa: Yes, but someone said it was a web crawler. [00:18] zebastian: You're not screwing anything up. You wrote a script and are now deleting it. [00:18] sebsebseb, i'm just curious. all my questions are just the childs of curiousity. on the other hand, i might want to fix them :) [00:18] prince_jammys: this will not affect the gnome config though right? i mean i do want compiz on startup on gnome, matter of fact i need it to use the avant dock [00:18] naxa: I haven't booted Ubuntu from USB, when I said Ext4 is faster I meant in general, I meant a proper hard disk install, but yes I assume for the USB it will also be faster [00:18] eviljussi01: Apparently it isn't. :) [00:18] zebastian: well, that's another story then. [00:19] naxa: also it's not quite perfect in 9.04 as I already said basicalely [00:19] zebastian: It won't affect compiz or any of the gnome config right? the script was for lxde only i understood [00:19] zebastian: hold on. [00:19] naxa: Why from a USB anyway? [00:20] sebsebseb, i see. I'll definietly try ext4 it when i will have more hard drive space. (maybe i should delete an unused windows xp for another 5 gb:D). but i am very curious what makes this this slow... [00:20] prince_jammys: they're unrelated too rright? i mean i simply go to desktop properties and enable desktop effects and that stays [00:20] zebastian: it's simply a one-liner that starts compiz. [00:20] naxa: 9.10 is when most Ubuntu users should go Ext4 :) [00:20] zebastian: Regardless, you should move that thing to /usr/local/bin [00:20] sudo rm /usr/bin/startcompiz then right? [00:21] Dorne: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/23829577/recordSoundAndDesktop.sh [00:21] is perforce (p4, p4v) known to work with ubuntu? [00:21] zebastian: Does that script get invoked by gnome or not? [00:21] thanks for the link, looking at it now [00:21] done, now i restart brb [00:21] bah [00:22] naxa: just use whatever untill 9.10 I guess, and then put it on :) and by default it has Ext4 [00:23] sebsebseb, well, I have an pc with the "housing" (dont know the name in english) of it is very small, half of normal in width. i suppose it should be landscape rather than portrait, but i like it like this. (its a dell) originally only one hdd was inside it, and i don't want to manipulate it since i've got this computer from my girlfriend's father and he has stuff on the hdd (like he has the license for a winxp on it, etc). it's 20 gb. [00:23] I added another drive with 40 gb to my computer, but to do this, i had to remove the fdd drive becouse there were no space in the "housing". but I have so much data i store it on that 40 gb. i also happen to have a 160 gb laptop usb drive and i ubuntu is on this. it's also serving me as a "mobile" OS since i can use it like this anywhere, at friends, at school, i love it on usb actually [00:23] is there a smaller version of ubuntu? (not the 700mb one) [00:23] that was my answer to "why on usb" [00:23] dev-bin, there is the minimal version [00:23] !perforce [00:23] Sorry, I don't know anything about perforce [00:23] !p4 [00:23] Sorry, I don't know anything about p4 [00:23] prince_jammys: just logged into gnome and everything's smooth, [00:24] !ubottu [00:24] Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [00:24] zebastian: It appears you also added a file /usr/share/applications/startcompiz.desktop , which presumably you'll also want to remove.

[00:25] zebastian: you added it yourself, so I don't see why it would break gnome. [00:25] when is 9.10 going to be out?

[00:28] bobo: Is there a driver for OpenGL available in system > administration > hardware drivers ?

I think that's the case [00:30] define* [00:30] I don't know what they're up to, but shutting the system down is not hiberntion [00:30] prince_jammys: my problem was that i didn't want compiz on lxde, that seems solved now, you told me there remained another one to delete, i logged into lxde without doing that, i noticed effectively compiz is gone and got a popup informing me about it, otherwise, i am simply asking which was the other file you wante dme to delete [00:30] qw30_: Back for more trolling? [00:30] no [00:30] zebastian: perhaps you're getting an error because of /usr/share/applications/startcompiz is trying to run a non-existant file. [00:30] zebastian: err, startcompiz.desktop [00:30] but I decided to test out ubuntu's fail hibernation [00:31] Ic ok I thought that there was an open source player that had payed the license fee for linux [00:31] prince_jammys: where's that at?

[00:31] thanks [00:31] zebastian: sudo mv /usr/share/applications/startcompiz.desktop ~ [00:31] i just booted from grub [00:31] sebsebseb, well, I'm looking forward to 9.10 :) anyway i just wanted to quit couse it seemed that we've talked everything. but if there is something i can stay [00:32] as per normal, and it pretended it never even hibernated [00:32] sudo mv /usr/share/applications/startcompiz.desktop ~ ? or sudo mv /usr/share/applications/startcompiz.desktop prince_jammys [00:32] ~ [00:32] how can i merge AVI with SRT (subtitle file) ??? [00:32] zebastian: now the file will be hanging out in your homedir, and you can do with it what you like. [00:32] qw30_: Well, there might be something in the kernel log. [00:32] yay === bert__ is now known as bert_murphy [00:33] naxa: Yes you nearly told me the whole of your computer related life story :D heh [00:33] qw30_: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingKernelSuspendHibernateResume might help you out there. [00:33] sebsebseb, :D [00:33] ty sir [00:33] sebsebseb, sorry, i talk too much [00:34] prince_jammys: thankyou so much for your help, now can you help me with one other thing, the clock on lxde is in official 24 hour time, and when i try to click the clock preferences what i get is three blank lines, one of them says clock format, i think it expects me to write some sort of script and i dont know what it is to get it in am/pm format [00:34] sebsebseb, on the other hand, this was 'couse i have some problems. my idea is to make ubuntu my way, and the +2 minute at booting and the fact that my grapchics card works slower in ubuntu than in windows are among them [00:34] zebastian: i can't help you with that, since I don't know that clock app. Check in their documentation how to change the settings. [00:35] ok [00:35] naxa: well 9.10 will probably take care of both isseus [00:35] well that's the problem sir [00:35] wenas [00:35] sebsebseb, i hope! [00:35] zebastian, timestamp format is usually hh:nn:sstt [00:35] Maybe it wants that/ [00:35] Ubuntu is too stupid to realie I cahgned [00:35] bob saget! === wolter is now known as SpacePigeon [00:35] someone help me plz... how can i merge SRT into AVI or just burn video DVD adding the SRT to it?? [00:35] Ubuntu is to stupid to realise that I changed the swap partion [00:35] CoUrPsE: hh= ? nn=? sstt=? [00:36] mm* [00:36] qw30_: Yeah, computers can't read minds yet. [00:36] zebastian, hh = 2 digit hour format, mm = 2 digit minute, ss = 2 digit seconds, tt = 2 digit am/pm return. [00:37] "yet" [00:37] CoUrPsE: ok, so if i want it to be 12 hour format instead of 24 for 17:35? [00:37] sebsebseb, another thing i miss is that in gnome, gtk file chooser, for example, in firefox, won't show thumbnails. win. vista and kde has a good opportunity to even resize the thumbnails, but in gnome, it was only recently added to show a tiny icon for each file in the list or show one big thumbnail of the selected file. i find this an issue when working with photos, like what if i'm a graphic designer and want to send work to my workm [00:37] ate. do i really need to memorize thousands of occasional file names, or rather switch to kde, or, save me, to windows? :) [00:37] I am wanting to change the filesystem of my root partition. What do I need to do besides rsync the data off, format, and rsync it back? [00:37] so I have to get my leprechaun to do some crazy magic for me [00:38] Logihk: I am fluent in sarcasm. [00:38] zebastian, Just how i put it, lower case = 12 hour, upper case H = 24 hour. [00:38] Ubuntu should read /etc/fstab like any proper operating system would [00:38] can anyone tell me why flash isn't working on my systems? one will play video only, no sound and one wont play anything other than the solid black box channel. [00:38] naxa: gtk file chooser??? [00:38] qw30_: It does. [00:39] If I use Brasero to burn a Data Project, and stick a .avi on a CD, will that play fine in a DVD player? [00:39] qw30_, you mean the uuid thing? [00:39] yes [00:39] sebsebseb: I think that is the file save dialog, which is used for all upload too [00:39] qw30_, have you ever used uuids? [00:39] who the hell knows about /etc/initramamfs-tools/conf.d? [00:39] yeah, I fixed the swap ones [00:39] sebsebseb, i mean the thing what comes up in gnome when you use firefox, log into gmail, want to attach an (image) attachment and you click "BROWSE" button. then gtk file chooser comes up and --saves-- well, makes my bad day [00:39] ChogyDan: ok maybe you can help naxa, to be honest quite a lot of the stuff they have said to me so far hasn't completly made sense for me [00:39] Logihk: I always burned video cds or svideo cds, and those played in the dvd player [00:40] Alright. [00:40] I guess UUIDs are some magic partion number because it's somehow illogical to use device files [00:40] CoUrPsE: i just typed 5:40 pm and it changed it but now i wonder if it will switch to am once the time passes [00:40] nn. [00:40] sebsebseb, ChogyDan : you're right :) [00:40] wth? [00:40] :/ [00:40] CoUrPsE: nn ? [00:40] qw30_: No, device files might change when you put in a new disk for example. [00:40] thanks popey for the script, but I'll find another way to record [00:41] You wrote the time in? [00:41] oh [00:41] or the time format? [00:41] CoUrPsE: yes, i wrote 05:40 [00:41] well, it's going to be the right time once a day. [00:41] lol. [00:41] kk. [00:41] LMAO [00:41] hello [00:41] ROFL [00:41] qw30_, youll propably know when you have sata disks dont have a fixed letter in /dev/sdX [00:41] i suggested to use the time format, but if that worked, as you were. [00:41] CoUrPsE: just got ya [00:41] * CoUrPsE ponders. [00:41] qw30_, does the job quite well [00:41] naxa: sebsebseb well, its a feature request. I don't know exactly what to do about that [00:42] qw30_: And you can always find out what which device has which uuid by doing: ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/ [00:42] ChogyDan, i understand that the real thing i would need to fix this is to download the gnome source code and fix it for myself. but i always ask this becouse i hope that on a nice day gnome developers will be enlighted and realize this as an issue and check it. :) [00:42] if the edit box was to set thge time itself, putting ht eformat in wont work, [00:42] I'd just like to get my flash working please. [00:42] my jaunty install wont boot. says its a ro file system. think it's because i uninstalled splashy? what do i do? [00:42] they're too freaking long [00:42] !flash | assinine [00:42] assinine: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [00:42] qw30_, ppl who complain about UUID really dont undestand the potential [00:42] assinine, in super-ubuntu? or the real thing [00:42] ChogyDan, also I always have a secret hope that there is some "plugin" I am not aware of what turns gtk file chooser into nautilus [00:42] qw30_, of uuids [00:42] i have ubuntu 9.04 version and i think the desktop screwed up, is there a way to get the dektop to come back ? it errors with failed to start X ser [00:42] qw30_: Has too be unique somehow. [00:42] MenZa: I've already installed flash. [00:42] CoUrPsE i have a problem now, i entered the format and what i get on the digital clock is hh: mm:sstt [00:42] bazhang: both. [00:43] if the edit box was to set thge time itself, putting ht eformat in wont work, [00:43] ChogyDan, or, more preciesly, nautilus into gtk file chooser [00:43] what happens if you magically have 2 devices with the same uuid? [00:43] jpds, vol_id command does the trick too [00:43] shadowwulf: ctrl+alt+F2 to a console, enjoy text-only computing. ◔ ◡ ◔ [00:43] qw30_, than cant happen.. every uuid is unique [00:43] CoUrPsE: how do i check that what i just did actually works? i just typed in the time, but i am not sure that it's ticking or doing what it's suosed to [00:43] BlackFate: I know. [00:43] Why can't I do "screen -r [00:43] oops [00:44] does the clock movie? [00:44] lol. [00:44] logihk, so i have to reinstall ? [00:44] why can't I do "screen -r" after using "su"? [00:44] I have to change my UID on my system. Is there an easy way? [00:44] Logihk, whoa, what's the code for ◔ ◡ ◔?? [00:44] i m getting a tty error [00:44] let's hibernate and see what happens [00:44] kandjar: you need to start a screen under a user in order to reattach to it [00:44] kandjar: screen requires a tty, so you have to be logged in directly [00:45] CoUrPsE: the clock is not changing minutes, and no, it's a still clock on the taskbar [00:45] Nice. [00:45] You'll never be late for school/work now, :) [00:45] maybe the screen under different user? [00:45] qw30_, uuids change only when you format partition or resize etc [00:46] CoUrPsE: http://azitech.wordpress.com/2009/02/10/lxde/ [00:46] Pricey: that's why i su to that user [00:46] naxa: highlight it in your irc client, open a text editor, click the scroll wheel to paste highlighted text. ◔ ◡ ◔ [00:46] Logihk: wow. [00:46] hello [00:46] !hi | assinine [00:46] assinine: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines. Enjoy your stay! [00:47] someone type please /nick carresmd and tell me if able to take my nick with no error [00:47] I have screen running under user1; and I'm sshed in user2; so I do 'su user1' and I tried 'screen -r' but it doesnt work [00:47] CoUrPsE: ok so apparently a %sign is necessary and then what you told me [00:47] carresmd_: This is not the place. Try #freenode instead. [00:47] zebastian, So what happens when you put this in yours %d.%m.%Y %T ? [00:47] Why isn't this working: curl -Ls some_kind_pf_url | xargs echo | grep "title(.*?)<\/title" [00:47] naxa: ok, how about this: use drag a file from nautilus to filechooser [00:47] nvm.. after installing firefox 3.5 apparently java got disabled [00:47] check with "whoami" [00:48] zebastian, Well i have no idea of your program your trying to use, i just suggested the normal time format to ya, :) [00:48] I'm getting "Cannot open your terminal '/dev/pts/1' - please check." [00:48] Logihk, ◔ ◡ ◔ i am able to copy-paste, but i think there is a code for this on the keyboard like alt 23454 or something like that :) [00:48] just had to go into the firefox addons and enable it [00:48] each 3 characters of that are a different code naxa === root is now known as Guest19524 [00:49] CoUrPsE: it gives me the day month year and time, so i took everything but time out, i tried using a lower case thinking maybe that will change to 12 hour format considering what you told me but what that did was erase the clock altogether what i'm going to do now is try to do %H %M [00:49] ChogyDan, well, I never tried this yet, thanks! :) I'll try. however, I think this is just a workaround. computer stuff needs to work comfortably [00:49] Thats very odd. [00:49] assinine, yeah, i know that. so what's the (3) code? :) [00:49] Logihk: see my pm I am interested in how you did ◔ ◡ ◔ [00:49] naxa: yeah, I can think of a couple minimal improvements, like at least a comment in filechooser telling you this is an option [00:49] naxa: Yeah, I don't know the code for it. I personally just copied and pasted myself. [00:50] zebastian, Change it to %r [00:50] ChogyDan, yeah, it would be nice. :) i would prefer thumbnails in the file chooser, so the optimal solution would be if there would be a configurable file chooser what could have thumbnails if i want them [00:50] Logihk: Character Map I guess [00:50] ChogyDan, but also tips are nice too [00:51] I would help out someone but I never have more knowledge than enough to google things for people. [00:51] Logihk, oh i see, ok :) thanks [00:51] CoUrPsE: that fixed it, only i don't like seeing the seconds, how do i get rid of that? they're distracting [00:51] :/ [00:51] assinine, this is a familiar case :) [00:51] zebastian, No idea. [00:51] Sebsebseb: check your pm. [00:52] Evelina, curl -Ls www.in.gr | grep "<\/title" this worked for me [00:52] ops [00:52] i entreat, please tell me how to get flash working! [00:52] Evelina, curl -Ls URL | grep "<\/title" this worked for me [00:52] Logihk: did, and thanks [00:52] ChogyDan, I've heard that gnome 3.0 will happen in the not so very far future. I am very curious... if i were gnome3 development leader, thumbnails in gtk file chooser would be at the top of my list in 2em size [00:53] well... or someting bigger :) [00:53] naxa: you may want to look at neitgesit. I think that's what it is called... [00:53] naxa: 10.04 will still use Gnome 2, but if Gnome 3 is ready by then it will probably have in the repo [00:53] !10.04 [00:53] Lucid Lynx is the codename for Ubuntu 10.04, due April 2010 - See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l02bhwofEqw for announcement video. [00:54] courpse, only it's delayed, it's going but it's delayed...hmm i'll go gnome, modify the time and come abck and see if that did it [00:54] brb [00:54] sebsebseb, thanks for the information :) good to know! [00:54] (^ ◡ ^) asian style [00:54] japanese, rather [00:54] ChogyDan, are you sure it's neitgesit? google found me nothing :( [00:54] naxa: np [00:54] naxa: http://live.gnome.org/GnomeZeitgeist === macOut is now known as mac9416 [00:55] naxa: it wouldn't make much sense if they didn't include the filechooser in that, but hey, they might forget [00:56] sebsebseb, ChogyDan by the way, don't you know if there is a way to make all ubuntu windows smaller? I think ubuntu has a habit to ruin my 1024x768 (or even 800x600 sometimes) resolution with windows what won't fit on the screen. i have to press the alt and move. I always thought that if windows xp can fit into 800x600, then how can i configure ubuntu to also fit to 800x600? my idea is that 640x480 is a big resolution... it's bigger tha [00:56] n 320x240. :) [00:57] naxa: that's to do with your Intel graphics card and xorg I guess [00:57] ChogyDan, this is very interesting thing :) [00:57] Anybody know the package I'd need to get Brasero to burn XviD, etc.? [00:57] naxa, i use 800x600 [00:57] Says it is not possible to write with the current set of plugins [00:57] sebsebseb, no, i mean buttons are too big and have too much margins === naruto is now known as Guest51813 === Guest51813 is now known as flayke [00:58] naxa: I would suggest UNR ie the netbook remix. The interface is different, but also work is done to make sure the dialogs fit [00:58] thiebaude, i used to use 800x600... don't you feel sometimes that just every window and menu is too big? [00:58] assinine: (^ ◡ ^) :) [00:58] ChogyDan, i always wanted to have a look :) [00:59] does anyone know how to disable a key on a keyboard? My keyboard has an annoying sleep button that I can't cancel once pushed and my computer doesn't power up from sleeping properly so it's basically an instant shutdown button [00:59] naxa, everthing is just right any resolution higher then everything is too small [00:59] Heather: I think you can change that in the power management preferences [00:59] naxa, i have an older monitor anyway [01:00] if I were to do sudo dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/sdb2, would it copy all of the data on sda1 sector by sector to sdb2? [01:00] I need to make sure that I'm doing it right [01:00] thiebaude, i see :) [01:00] naxa, with a brand new computer [01:00] thiebaude, well, in my case, the problem is not with the monitor, but with the resolution [01:00] oh that worked [01:00] thanks so much! [01:00] BlackFate: Yeah, but it only works when the title is on a single line, therefore I have to get all code on one line OR get the grep/sed/awk work on one or more lines. [01:00] naxa, graphics card has alot to do with it [01:01] thiebaude, i used to have an old monitor with a new computer, when i realized i would better use a new monitor with an old computer [01:01] * thiebaude im glad im done with intel [01:01] OH [01:01] Hai, === shadiko is now known as Shadiko [01:01] thiebaude, well, yeah, but i am able to use bigger resolutions, it's just that i always feel that ubuntu somehow wastes my screen space [01:02] CoUrPsE: setting the time on gnome and coming back did it [01:02] !hi | Shadiko [01:02] Shadiko: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines. Enjoy your stay! === floopsy is now known as Floops [01:02] now i only need a person who knows lxde [01:02] I upgraded to the most recent kernel (along with everything else) last night and get a hang at the graphical login screen. Going back to 6.25-2 with GRUB everything works fine. Any ideas? [01:02] naxa, which graphics card? [01:02] hi guyz [01:03] !welcome | karan [01:03] karan: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines. Enjoy your stay! [01:03] i need some advice [01:03] !ask | karan [01:03] karan: 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. :-) [01:03] karan, what is your question [01:03] anyone here know lxde? [01:04] sure, i want ton get the new ipod nano 5g (with the camera) since the zune hd isnt available in canada [01:04] zebastian, i used it briefly [01:04] Noooooo [01:04] to* [01:04] Don't do it karan. [01:04] karan: ok I see, well the Zune and Ipod Nano and what not, these products are not Linux friendly [01:04] thiebaude: how come no more? [01:04] no im thinking of selling my zune 8gb [01:04] and buying the nano [01:05] Yes, but don't get an iPod. [01:05] if I were to do sudo dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/sdb2, would it copy all of the data on sda1 sector by sector to sdb2? [01:05] Don't get an Apple or Microsoft product. [01:05] karan: the nano is not Linux friendly either [01:05] zebastian, i dont need to use them to save ram since i have 2gb now [01:05] because of its more functions [01:05] Enemy of your freedom, etc. [01:05] karan: there is lesser known stuff that is also rather good :) [01:05] karan: look at the cowon stuff [01:05] thiebaude, well, i have ubuntu on a mobile hdd. on this computer there is a very old intel 82845/G graphics card. on the other i have a geforce 8xxx and on the third there is an ati radeon. [01:05] thiebaude: i got 2gb too but it's nice how fast it moves [01:05] especially the file manager [01:05] does ubuntu [jj, 9.04] automount USB flash drives on a default install?? [01:05] i would get an archos if i had the money.. [01:05] Yes, sabat. [01:05] theres a lot of mp3 players out there. :) and video - been looking at the Samsung stuff [01:06] zebastian, yea, but i want my compiz [01:06] karan: I haven't got any of them personally, but I hear they are very good, plus they support OGG/Vorbis and FLAC which are open file formats :) and so yes rather Linux friendly [01:06] hmm, I assumed so, wonder why it won't work with mine :P [01:06] sabat: it should. depending on the filesystem [01:06] wobbly windows and rotating cubes [01:06] well deos anyone know a place in canada where i can sell my zune for around 150? [01:06] not sure what FS, it's whatever it came with [01:06] works in windows [01:06] sabat: that means very little :) [01:06] karan: no and that's offtopic for this channel, but it will be ok I guess to ask in #ubuntu-offtopic [01:06] thiebaude, i am pretty convinced that it's nothing to do with my graphics card but with ui design [01:06] naxa, yea, i got a GeForce also [01:06] sabat: sudo fdisk -l and look and see what fs it is [01:06] karan: you should ask in #ubuntu-offtopic [01:07] thiebaude, maybe geforce is the best solution for gnome [01:07] my flash drive just blinks when i plug it in [01:07] naxa, i used to use 800x600 in xp also when i had xp [01:07] thiebaude, me too [01:07] is there an itunes version for ubuntu? [01:07] sabat: check 'dmesg' command a few times as you plug it in also to debug whats going on [01:07] naxa, i agree with you,nvidia graphics and sound i have [01:07] Dr_Willis: you use lxde right? [01:07] karan: no Apple and Microsoft do not make their products for Linux [01:07] nice :) [01:08] karan: Linux also has it's own pretty good music players :) [01:08] well, everyone, i have to go. it's 2 am here... :) [01:08] zebastian: yes.. i dident care for it. [01:08] good night! bye! [01:08] naxa: nite [01:08] karan: many of which can also work with standard Ipods to sync them [01:08] karan, and then there is songbird [01:08] /dev/sde1 w95 FAT16 (LBA) [01:08] Dr_Willis: how do you mean you didn't care for it? [01:08] ◔ ◡ ◔ can anyone tell me why my flash isn't working? is anyone having a similar experience? [01:08] karan: Banshee can do Ipods [01:09] zebastian: i dont like it. [01:09] assinine, you using 64bit? [01:09] how do i copy a hidden folder to another location or unhide so that i can access it ? [01:09] thiebaude: 32 [01:09] ok [01:09] karan: you should buy stuff that supports open standards, hence why I recommended that you look at the cowon products [01:09] ubuntu: ctrl+h [01:09] Dr_Willis: weren't you the one who sold me into it about a week and a half ago? [01:09] sabat: you could install/run the 'ntfs-config' tool and check the options to enable external and internal media (yes its for both vfat and ntfs drives) and/or mount the thing manually [01:09] ChogyDan, i see the folder .. but i want to copy the contents out of it [01:09] zebastian: you are confused. I definatly do not like or reccomend lxde [01:10] karan: When I say open standards do you know what I mean? [01:10] nah, it's cool now. I didn't realize it mounted it in /media [01:10] Dr_Willis: why don't you recomend it? i'm just curious as to why you say so as though you would nearly discourage it [01:10] I was looking in /mnt [01:10] buenas [01:10] is there flash for 64 bit ? [01:10] alguien que use nvidia que me ayude con el twinview? [01:10] zebastian, try openbox [01:10] zebastian: if you have a question about lxde ask the channel.. others may know the answers [01:10] Caused the problem myself :D [01:10] ya se ke es en ingles pero necesito ayuda [01:10] zebastian: it has no features i need. [01:11] <-- PEBKAC [01:11] thiebaude: i did years ago, never liked it much [01:11] im just guessing dont talk about anything linux deosnt like right? [01:11] ahh, ok [01:11] i have an old machine i want to use as a headless box, connected via wifi. How hard is that to do if i install ubuntu with know xserver? [01:11] sabat: :) I often link /media to /mnt :) but now ive learned to look in /media [01:11] um is there cowon in canada? [01:11] zebastian, i had used it a long time [01:11] i want the headless box to connect to get an ip on book [01:11] karan: of course not :) you can talk about Ipod and Apple and stuff in here. you can get cowon stuff online [01:11] if I were to do sudo dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/sdb2, would it copy all of the data on sda1 sector by sector to sdb2? [01:11] karan, this is ubuntu support; please take chat to #ubuntu-offtopic [01:12] rocky_: yes basically thats what it does. [01:12] epic [01:12] dereks, no prob, graphical system has noting to do with much of anything else. [01:12] rocky_: dont get your arguments backwards... or wrong. :) [01:12] karan: you can ask how to get an Ipod or whatever working in Ubuntu, but most other stuff will be off topic to do with buying a product and that [01:12] ChogyDan, i see the folder .. how do i copy the contents out ? [01:12] lol, just had to make sure [01:12] karan: You can use GTKpod to sync with the iPod but it 'can' be fiddly getting it working initially. Its definitely better to get something that is a bit more open in terms of support if you can. [01:12] if=thesource of=thedestination [01:13] karan: let's continue in #ubuntu-offtopic plus other people will be able to help you in there [01:13] i cant see the price for the cowon products :S? [01:13] rocky_: and dont get 'sda' confused with 'sda1' [01:13] ubuntu what is the problem? Can't you just do it in a normal manner? I'm not sure I follow [01:13] lol [01:13] I know the difference between sda and sda1, sda is the whole first hdd, sda1 is the first partition on the first drive [01:13] * thiebaude lets raid #ubuntu-offtopic [01:13] ChogyDan, i see the .hidden folder ... but i need to copy the contents out of it ... it wont let me access it [01:13] thiebaude, I'll join you ;) [01:13] jk [01:14] rocky_: and one typo in dd.. can = deleted drive. :) so be carefull [01:14] ok, 1sec [01:14] karan: fsf has a hardware page too [01:14] o.O [01:14] ubuntu does it say anything about the lack of access? [01:14] can anyone tell me why flash isn't working on my systems? one will play video only, no sound and one wont play anything other than the solid black box channel. [01:14] Dr_Willis, I'm going to explain my situation as exact as I can [01:15] assinine: is this 9.04? have you tried pulse perfect setup? [01:15] ChogyDan, the folder contents could not be displayed ... you do not have the permissions to display it [01:15] ChogyDan: yes. no, how do you do that? [01:15] durt: how would i go about doing it [01:15] assinine: http://pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup#FlashPlayer === Xpl0it is now known as Xpl0it_AFK [01:17] hello - I need help with installing jaunty on my other system - here's the error I'm getting: "BUG: Int 14 CR2 ffffb0f0..." [01:17] dereks, start with either a server install or a cli only install from the desktop alternate cd... [01:17] Dr_Willis, /dev/sda1 (which is ntfs) has bad sectors, so I'm going to make a full backup (including even the bad sectors) to an external drive's partition /dev/sdb2, which is also ntfs. the external is bigger than the internal. here is the command that I should do the backup: sudo dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/sdb2 [01:17] ubuntu hmm, maybe right click the folder and try changing some of the permissions, including the last one re executable stuff [01:17] "Ingsoc" [01:17] Ha. Ha. Ha. [01:18] durt: right, but how do i configure a wpa session to start on boot [01:18] I was unable to boot or install from the live cd and had to install using the alternate installer, but now I'm getting the same error when booting from the hd [01:19] dereks, that I'm not familiar with but google for 'wireless at boot ubuntu' gives results. [01:19] donnybrasco, looks like the bug report, and a fix, are here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/312554 [01:20] dereks, you can put whatever command(S) you use at the end of ~/.profile [01:20] well, Dr_Willis? does the command look correct? [01:20] dereks, and it will do it on login.. [01:20] gwildor, thanks === richie_ is now known as RichW [01:21] donnybrasco, sorry if it seems difficult....i cant help more, i have to go in 2 mmins [01:21] What is the hotkey to show the desktop? [01:21] rcx, you can set it [01:22] rocky_: how? [01:22] look in system>preferences>keyboard shortcuts [01:22] rocky_: thx [01:22] e.g., awhile ago I set ctrl+r to open up a terminal window instead of refreshing [01:23] rocky_: to recover 'bad' data - there is the specilized 'dd_rescue' (or was it ddrescue) command. and you can 'dd' a drive image to a file. then access/mount that file via the loopback feature. no need to dd it to another hard drive as a image.. just to a file somewhere you can work on it can work. [01:23] hi how to go into linksys router without gui? [01:24] hmmm [01:24] Dr_Willis, can you give me syntax? [01:24] O__o: the lynx or other text based browsers has worked for me [01:24] assume everything I said in the previous post [01:24] rocky_: use of=/path/to/whateverfile [01:24] Dr_Willis, but i try [01:24] um [01:25] rocky_: also use the BS= option to make the block size a little bigger for faster reading [01:25] Dr_Willis, i just want to see status who is on the network [01:25] I am wondering, it won't do something silly like start copying the backup to the backup, will it? [01:25] gwildor: thanks for your help anyway - that link is chinese to me :) [01:25] so, would I do ddrescue if=/dev/sda1 of=/mybackup ? [01:25] dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/media/archives/sda1.image [01:25] all the filesystems are ntfs, does that make a difference? [01:26] http://www.gnu.org/software/ddrescue/ddrescue.html [01:26] lol, I'm think I'm one of the people that just wants people to give him a command -_- lol [01:27] a --block-size=1024 will speed it up a little. [01:27] learn what you are doing and why... dont just expect others to 'care' if they make a mistake.

[01:31] Dr_Willis, I'm looking at this line right now: ddrescue --no-split /dev/hda1 imagefile logfile [01:32] I think that is what I want, except for it to be ddrescue --no-split /dev/sda1 imagefile logfile [01:32] I'll give that a shot, I guess, unless any red flags with you pop up [01:33] how do i get rid of the bongo sound in the login screen?

I'm trying to create an 'emergency' USB stick running non-live Ubuntu... installation went absolutely perfectly, but I'm noticing that /tmp if using waaaay too many cycles on the poor thing. I heard that using tmpfs for /tmp would help, can anyone explain how to do that? [01:58] Spreadsheet: I think that would be system beeping. What's causing the beeps would help. [01:58] I'm causing the beeping [01:58] By doing what? [01:58] I open gedit, and then backspace on an empty document [01:58] It beeps [01:58] dmf: i recall the AcerAspireone/Ubuntu netbook remix thread on the forums had that tip and others for resucing disk ussage/improveing live span. But i just use the usb-creator tool i think it may allrady do a lot of that [01:59] donnybrasco, I see, well if the latest kernel in JJ isn't working right then either a downgrade to II or try out KK. [01:59] Dr_Willis: It's a bit late for me to be attempting to use usb-creator... I'm trying to find a definitive guide to forcing /tmp into a tmpfs, but I've yet to find a decent one.

Although if your up to it try and find a newer kernel for JJ in the PPAs but you need to chroot to your install from a live cd to install it.

[02:11] N-RoN: Obviously you won't be able to install Mac software, but if its just regular files within the DMG you need - http://baghira.sourceforge.net/dmg.htm [02:11] anyone recommend any free nx servers, and where I can download it? Doesn't seem to be on the repository [02:11] The computer is an old Compaq Presario that used to have Windows 98 on it, could it be that the CPU is just to old or the Hard Drive isn't big enough? [02:12] stevex, I would md5 the iso; could be a corrupted download [02:12] durt: I can't seem to find out what mb/cpu I'm running - it's an ACER Aspire t325 [02:12] !md5 [02:12] To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [02:12] So the image just might be bad?

Thanks :/ [02:38] Is there a workaround to the copy paste problem in some gnome applications? Copying text from an application then closing it causes the clipboard to be cleared. [02:38] gilboman, how does this relate to ubuntu [02:38] im having issues using brasero to burn audio cds [02:38] yes there is no other package manager oppen...... [02:38] I'm betting it'll work, if you have enough RAM, stevex. [02:38] The backend took too much time to process the synchronous request - you need to fork! [02:38] jetrii: use the gclipper clipborad keeper tool. is handy. [02:38] abhilashm86: are you running it as root? [02:38] !who | abhilashm86 [02:38] abhilashm86: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [02:38] Dr_Willis: I will give that a shot. Thank you. [02:39] What server would you suggest with only 225 Mhz processor? [02:39] almostAg33k, does gnomebaker have similar issues [02:39] Thanks all~ [02:39] How much RAM do you have, stevex? That might be more of a limit than CPU speed. [02:39] dryes is there a command to unlock, it din't update, so i pressed ctrl-z...... [02:40] RAM is fine, know that for a fact [02:40] dragon: is there a command to unlock, it din't update, so i pressed ctrl-z...... [02:40] whats gnomebaker [02:40] !info gnomebaker [02:40] gnomebaker (source: gnomebaker): application for CD/DVD creation in the GNOME desktop. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.6.4-1 (jaunty), package size 991 kB, installed size 2980 kB [02:40] almostAg33k, an alternative burning app [02:40] ubottu:ok fine [02:40] Sorry, I don't know anything about ok fine [02:40] !menu [02:40] Sorry, I don't know anything about menu [02:40] abhilashm86: Ctrl+z sends it in the background. Next time use Ctrl+C, only in case of an emergency. For now, type `fg` in the same shell window. [02:41] If I'd install Xubuntu on my older system, could I still make that into a file server somehow? [02:41] hello, is duplex printing possible on HP laserjet 4250 in Ubuntu? [02:41] If you install one of the server versions that's even lighter weight than Xubuntu, stevex. [02:41] stevex: the desktop disrtos can work as fileservers yes.. Just install the services you want. [02:41] stevex: any desktop environment wouldn't affect your ability to make a machine a file server [02:41] but it could burden it [02:42] stevex: just disable the X/gui/gdm/whatever login.. so theres no X starting up. but its there if you need it. [02:42] Ok, I think I'm going to go that route, wish me luck :) [02:42] MrKeuner: probably, the ppd printer driver file determines capabilities and cups tells it to do duplex [02:42] Xubuntu here I come :) [02:43] So to recap, flash is very laggy, I have a via s3 unichrome video card that is uber complicated to install properly, and my computer does not allow the cpu scaling monitor to be used. I am running ubuntu 9.04 on a 5 year old hp desktop pavillion pc. Does anyone know how to get flash working or if there is some sort of binary driver for s3 unichrome video cards? [02:43] stevex: xubuntu would be too much for that machine. Go for ubuntu-server. [02:43] !ubuntu-server | stevex [02:43] stevex: Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server-specific !kernel and no !GUI. The install CD contains many server applications. Current !LTS version is 8.04. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ServerFaq/ and https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/index.html - Use the #ubuntu-server channel for support [02:44] Anyone know why gdb/linux/ubuntu(not sure which) would transform an strcpy into memcpy? [02:44] kikbguy: I had problems with an unichrome card too. I'd recommend buying an old nvidia card or something [02:44] is there a shortcut to restart gnome like KDE? [02:44] kikbguy: it [02:44] Elone: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [02:44] Would you guys recommend the LTS version or the regular version of server? [02:44] !dontzap | Elone [02:44] Elone: 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. [02:44] kikbguy: it's not about the speed of the card, you just need a decently supported one [02:44] Unichrome cards are hell on Linux. [02:44] durt: well, I'm not sure what I was looking for, but I got an error when it called nvidia, and vbox [02:44] fccf, where can I find the ppd file? in CUPS? [02:44] Especially if they have TV-Out [02:44] stevex: LTS came out 1.5 year ago. I think current is better [02:44] stevex: for a server in your home, I'd recommend a regular version [02:45] stevex: if you are going to do 'server' time to learn the command line well. :) use whatever version you want. [02:45] any one know how to get my graphix card work to full potential [02:45] thanks [02:45] !lts | stevex [02:45] stevex: 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 [02:45] Go for the regular version, stevex. The LTS is mostly for companies who don't want to be upgrading every year or two. [02:45] wahez, thanks, that's a good suggestion. I'll look in to that. [02:46] lluad, #ubuntu-motu would likely be an appropriate channel for your query [02:46] Thanks, bzahang, I'll head over there. [02:46] sooo how do i install gnomebaker? [02:46] hi, anyone on a dual boot vista/buntu machine? [02:46] See this is my problem, ubuntu-server is giving me install errors on my old machine, so I need something lighter that a 224 Mhz processor can handle, but also something I can use as a file server [02:47] using Ksplice and would like to remove some of the old kernels on boot screen [02:47] phat, so why does it reset? [02:47] hello I was wondering if theres an option to have ubuntu show side and bottom window borders of decorated windows show whem maximized [02:47] almostAg33k, sudo apt-get install gnomebaker [02:47] by default it seems to remove them from sides/bottom and just extend the actual window to fit [02:47] stevex: What was the error? ubuntu-server is better if you want a server, especially on an antique box. [02:47] there is allways tomorrow [02:47] they come back fine when restored.. I just want them there when maximized for astetic reasons [02:48] !enter | elpiratedechron [02:48] elpiratedechron: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [02:48] I cannot seem to find an option for this in compiz or emerald was wondering if anyone knows of a way [02:49] durt: I do not know. Hmm... I'm going to have to deal with my xorg, or upgrade my video, I suspect. [02:49] elpiratedechron: Does it work if you run 'metacity --replace'? [02:49] anyone using ksplice? [02:49] helo [02:49] phat, well good luck [02:49] elpme ubuntu [02:49] elpiratedechron: Also, I thought you said you were using debian [02:50] durt: thanks. [02:50] I don't want to use metacity for a window management. and it didn't fix it when using gtk-windows.... which in your language != compiz [02:50] if you have nothing useful to say to me and just wanna show off your e-peen you can kindly keep it to yourself :) [02:50] elpiratedechron: what do you mean by "your language"? [02:50] !language | elpiratedechron [02:50] elpiratedechron: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. === Xpl0it is now known as Xpl0it_AFK [02:51] grub anyone? [02:51] !anyone | user_g [02:51] user_g: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [02:51] he tired to help me in #compiz and when what he suggested wasn't what I wanted he got an attitude like I wasn't trying it [02:52] elpiratedechron: This is why you don't get support because you're making false reports and you are not willing to try anything [02:52] ubottu: how to remove kernel(s) from list since using ksplice (kernels listed on boot screen) [02:52] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [02:52] I TIRED IT [02:52] it doesn't fix it [02:52] accept it [02:52] elpiratedechron: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:52] elpiratedechron: It's not helping that you're asking a question about your broken debian system in #ubuntu [02:53] actaully I'm using ubuntu [02:53] ..... [02:53] elpiratedechron: So next time think before you speak [02:53] user_g: you should remove the kernels using apt [02:53] which last I checked was based on debain [02:53] but how? ChogyDan [02:53] elpiratedechron, please be civil === c is now known as Guest51909 [02:53] user_g: use synaptic, and look for linux-image [02:53] ChogyDan don't mind a few listed but the last 3 kernels I don't mind just when they start do add up [02:54] user_g: obviously, make sure not to remove linux-generic or your latest kernels [02:54] ChogyDan I think they all say generic [02:54] ChogyDan: btw is there a limit to how many kernels are listed? [02:55] user_g: yes, thats fine, but don't remove the exactly name package: linux-generic [02:55] anyone know if i can change /tmp to a syn. link to a ntfs dir? [02:56] ChogyDan: ok. Is there a limit to how many kernels are listed on the boot screen? Or, are there 10, 20 or more? [02:56] Elone: I think thats a bad idea [02:56] user_g: Unlimited. ;3 [02:56] Elone -> why would you want to ever do that? [02:57] BiosElement: coz my root partition is low in space [02:57] Elone: I think temp needs to be a filesystem that support the linux security model stuff. [02:57] leaf-sheep: 3? Or does grub get clogged or something? I don't mind a few but too many might confuse some folks when I give it away [02:57] ntfs dosn't do this. [02:57] BiosElement: i see [02:58] leaf-sheep? ChogyDan? [02:58] user_g: whats up? [02:58] user_g: Folks? Why are you using ksplice? I'm sure the folks you give away won't mind rebooting. It won't get clogged. You can remove the kernels if you want. It's really small in filesize and does not cause confusions. [02:58] <-- so far get it, i think. use synaptic [02:59] Elone: How about removing packages you don't need? I use dpigs to find big packages that I don't need. [02:59] wow... http://fatpita.net/?i=1036 [02:59] rocky_, this is not #ubuntu-offtopic [03:00] I was thinking of removing ksplice; it sounds like a good idea, but kind of want some security for the user who'll be using the machine [03:00] wahez: let me try [03:01] wahez: is that in the debian-goodies package? [03:01] Elone: don't try that, please. [03:01] user_g: With Karmic coming up, there are new kernels and you're going to include them in near future. The latest kernel will be used by default and such. If something breaks, you can always resort back to old kernel at boot. [03:01] ChogyDan and leaf-sheep: was wondering if I needed to do anything to grub so I won't get support calls --- both your idea on this: remove Ksplice and leave the machine as is? or not? [03:02] user_g: sorry, I don't know Ksplice [03:02] does anybody have an actual solution to make the window borders on the sides and bottom of windows show when maximized? I should note this is not the same issue where decorations disappear entirely, or is it really any sort of issue this is solely an aesthetic wish. I'm using emerald 0.7.2 theme manager, compiz 0.8.2, under ubuntu 9.04. Also I've tried using gtk-window-decorator so I don't believe it's an emerald issue [03:02] se7vn: yes I think it is [03:02] I'll admit that I never used Ksplice myself so I can't be a fair call for you to make an informed decision. [03:03] elpiratedechron: It's a problem with your distro, debian [03:03] elpiratedechron: You should probably ask there, in #debian [03:03] ChogyDan rebootless updates? http://www.ksplice.com/uptrack ---i think that's the url [03:03] user_g: Servers or machine? Laptop? If it's not server, then there are no point in having ksplice unless you're going for longest uptime and etc cetera. [03:03] !emerald | elpiratedechron [03:03] elpiratedechron: 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. [03:04] ubottu thank you for actually saying something helpful [03:04] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [03:04] dragon: huh? [03:04] it's nice to know people in here actually have something useful to say [03:04] leaf-sheep? your input? remove kplice and tell them about synaptic update manager? I want no support calls, cuz after the machine leaves here they'll mostly be on their own [03:04] user_g: cool offtopic, I used to know a linux guy in college that wanted to create such software. wonder if that is him...

[03:08] se7n: 9.04 [03:08] previously the applet is installed by default, right? [03:08] dg1: As Wubi is contained within your Windows partition, it is simply a matter of mounting your Windows partition to Ubuntu. [03:08] yea [03:09] some guy told me to do something and it made this file "my-packeges" [03:09] Shidash: On a Laptop?

Did you run that alsa info script again after that? [03:09] hm... let me try that [03:09] user_g: sorta, but I can't really help with ksplice.

[03:24] nvm just use GEE-Xbox [03:24] wzssyqa: No [03:24] Yeh, I have an old compaq presario with a 225 Mhz processor, just trying to install something light that will run smooth [03:24] Shidash: Did you ever find out what processor you're running? [03:24] stevex, then use fluxbox, for a system that sow [03:24] foundry87: maybe,you should install it [03:24] slow* [03:24] I assume it's an Intel correct? [03:24] stevex: xubuntu is probably okay, but you could go lighter if you wwanted [03:25] XDevHald- The processor is an Intel(R) Core(TM) Duo CPU L9400 @1.86GHz [03:25] afallenhope, isn't gee-xbox just ushare, thats what im using right now [03:25] stevex: there's also crunchbang which is ubuntu based [03:25] He's running AMD with HD Sound [03:25] Shidash, same as me is it an Hp ? [03:25] Shidash: Thanks, just a sec [03:25] but not an official distro [03:25] What's the lightest distro I could go, but still be nice for me to use? [03:25] stevex, use ubuntu with fluxbox [03:25] stevex, but honestly, on that machine, any gui is going to lag [03:25] stevex: try xubuntu and see how that works. If you want lighter, fluxbox [03:25] Is the ubuntu mini.iso desktop or server orientated? [03:25] how much ram, 32mb? [03:25] pete_: It is a Lenovo Thinkpad [03:26] Shidash, oh, dif machine same processor, good one though [03:26] Shidash: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshootingProcedure [03:26] pete_, I didn't mean to send it on this server [03:26] lol. [03:26] se7n- The audio doesn't work on headphones either [03:26] afallenhope, im just curious, since i just set up ushare and im watching a movie right now and its working great [03:26] how is that other one different [03:26] pete_, I use mplayer for that [03:26] mplayer ce [03:27] o [03:27] afallenhope, to stream to xbox you use mplayer? [03:27] pete_, it's actually to my Wii and I ftp [03:27] If I went ahead and installed Fluxbox, could I still setup that old computer as a file server? [03:28] stevex: yes [03:28] afallenhope, oh, ok... thats cool [03:28] BJJblue, same thing with Xubuntu correct? === c is now known as Guest10029 [03:28] stevex: they're all the same [03:28] True, both just lighter on the resource side [03:28] stevex: they just have different window managers [03:28] stevex, linux is much more flexible than ur used to probably [03:28] but the backend is identical [03:29] God I have to get away from this Windows crap [03:29] stevex: think of desktop environments as 'themes' of sorts, except that it also handles how the windows are drawn and handled [03:29] and stuff like that [03:29] stevex, lol i hear ya [03:29] stevex: you'll get there =) [03:29] Anyone recommend a good website and or book to learn essential commands? [03:29] !cli | stevex [03:29] stevex: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [03:29] I get probably 2x as much speed and battery life out of this laptop on xubuntu than windows vista === prince_j1mmys is now known as prince_jammys [03:30] stevex: it's kind of hard to just learn commands. YOu'll learn them by using them, but there should be a few websites with basic commands [03:30] stevex, many are similar to windows commands if you are fimiliar [03:30] such cd etc. [03:30] Shidash: I see you have alsa-base 1.0.18rc3 - Did you see that there is a full development for 1.0.18.dfsg-1ubuntu8 ? [03:31] what does this mean in ps? --> [aplay] [03:31] stevex: the reason i say that is because a lot of commands arise from the software installed on the system rather than the system itself. [03:31] wzssyqa: I just tested it on another computer running Ubuntu and it works. In gstreamer-properties under the Video tab I can't select the device because the dropdown box is faded out. I was able to change it on the other computer though and that's what made it work. [03:31] leaf-sheep [03:31] sweet the cd i burned with gnomebaker works [03:31] K guys, currently downloading Xubuntu, wish me luck :) [03:31] almostAg33k, nicely done [03:31] stevex: are you currently on an ubuntu machine? [03:31] because you can try out the xubuntu interface without reinstalling [03:31] Shidash: Also make sure you have alsa-utils 1.0.18-1ubuntu11 [03:31] BJJblue, nah, my main machine is Vista :( [03:32] stevex make sure to check the sha1sum or md5sums or both [03:32] ah okay [03:32] stevex, you can switch between any of them at the login screen under sessions. === Xano__ is now known as Xano_ [03:32] gnome, kde, xfce, fluxbox [03:32] where's leaf-sheep? [03:32] Ok, I will check both, thanks for the tip [03:32] user_g, checking one is sufficient [03:32] stevex, ^^^ [03:32] I'm going to check md5sums [03:32] prefer sha1 though [03:32] XDevHald- I am working on upgrading ALSA. How would I check to see if I have alsa-utils 1.0.18-1ubuntu11 [03:33] md5sum *.iso [03:33] ... either is sufficient if you're not looking at malicious tampering [03:33] Shidash: Type in synaptic: alsa [03:33] and md5sum is significantly faster [03:33] Shidash, sudo apt-cache search alsa-utils 1.0.18-1ubuntu11 [03:33] aye [03:33] isn't md5sum weak/broken? [03:33] that too if you don't have synaptic up [03:33] user_g, "... either is sufficient if you're not looking at malicious tampering" [03:33] Now after I check md5sum, and it comes back there is something wrong, redownload? [03:33] XDevHald, i like ur idea actually [03:33] user_g: mathematically, i think sha is broken, but not to the point of being threatening in the field [03:34] i don't think md5 is [03:34] sorry cwillu, got it [03:34] user_g, you're not gonna break md5 by accident [03:34] but i may be wrong [03:34] pete_ like wise if synaptic is not up :-) [03:34] XDevHald- I typed in sudo apt-get -y install linux-headers-`uname -r` as it said to in the tutorial and I got the message that E: Couldn't find package linux-headers-uname -r [03:34] :) [03:34] I can't wait to try Linux!!!! [03:34] Shidash, you need to know the package name.. [03:34] BJJblue, md5 has real collisions, sha1 has collisions on long'ish subsets of the full application [03:34] Ha, I'm actually excited it's weird [03:34] Agreed, what pete_ said Shidash [03:34] aah okay - thanks for the clarification [03:34] I'm trying to select a device for my webcam in gstreamer-properties but it's not letting me, can someone help? [03:34] good luck stevex! [03:35] stevex: You waiting for your CD? [03:35] BJJblue, something out of the sha2 series is recommended as an interim solution until the new hash function competition is completed in two (?) years === [daemon]_ is now known as [daemon] [03:35] Yeh, will let you guys know once I start the installation process, btw, for burning, the program ImgBurn = success! [03:35] (sha2 is the same construction as sha1, but with more bits and more iterations) === prince_j1mmys is now known as prince_jammys [03:35] sha256sum, for instance [03:35] stevex: Nevermind, great to see you're burning it. [03:36] pete_: sudo apt-cache search alsa-utils 1.0.18-1ubuntu11 [03:36] yea [03:36] pete_: Returns nothing [03:36] stevex: just a little semantic point i want to clarify - you are technically trying out linux, but linux is just the kernel (the core of the operating system... it's called NT in windows) More precisely, you're trying out the Ubuntu linux-distribution [03:36] stevex: imgburn is great so is xfburn [03:36] I just mention it because it's a slightly confusing thing [03:36] I think cdbrunerxppro is good for windows [03:36] and understanding that will make stuff you read on the internet much clearer [03:36] BJJblue, I agree, and user_g, xfburn is good also [03:36] pete_ I think he is running from a different source. [03:36] He needs to change is sources list. [03:36] XDevHald, possibly [03:37] Shidash, sudo apt-cache search alsa-utils [03:37] cwillu: I think you'll be able to help with this... [03:37] before you update your lists... [03:37] i changed themes and somehow my icons in office have been replaced with text....is there a fix aroo [03:37] ugliefrog, what do you mean in office [03:37] stevex, expanding on what BJJblue just said, you can get an almost identical desktop from any distro that uses gnome, including things such as bsd (which isn't linux at all) [03:37] open office? [03:37] pete_: alsa-utils - ALSA utilities [03:37] ... gpg -c --cipher-algo AES256 filename... [03:37] gnome-alsamixer - ALSA sound mixer for GNOME [03:37] Shidash, sudo apt-get intall alsa-utils [03:37] install* [03:37] hey there. is there a way i can install ubuntu from windows without the use of external software? like anything built in on the cd itself? [03:37] pete_, open office [03:38] cwillu: his head is about to explode! Take cover! [03:38] ugliefrog, try going to the icon themes and re-selecting the icon package or trying a new one [03:38] enter passphrase. quantum breakage easily but what about privacy? [03:38] ? [03:38] Ok, once I finish the install I will probably be rambling off a lot of ?'s to you guys ha :) [03:38] SuspectZero, you can use wubi, but I personally don't recommend it :p [03:38] yeah please do [03:38] lol pete_ we had him running the actual repo name :-p [03:38] yea [03:38] user_g, I'm sorry, I don't understand the question [03:38] thats what i figured out [03:38] haha [03:38] Now if only my laptop had Steam on it, a little CS wouldn't hurt while I wait :) [03:38] cwillu hahah well im trying to see if i can encorporate the install into a different distro [03:38] good call though [03:38] which is based off ubuntu [03:39] user_g, crypto based on factoring large numbers is broken if we figure out how to make large-scale quantum computers, but that's not gonna happen over night [03:39] sstevex: lol college student, i presume? [03:39] I send you a .gpg file with the passphrase already in it, not need for keys, just enter pw [03:39] pete_: I tried to install it but it said that it was already the newest version. [03:39] Shidash, hmmmm....... [03:39] Shidash: To the right of the repo name does it show the version? [03:39] safe? and no, I don't mean personally send you a file just wonder about email without public and priv. encry. [03:39] I have installed SeaMonkey 1.1.17 on two computers. On one computer the Window menu shows the menu items Navigator, Mail_&_Newsgroups, Composer, Address_Book and IRC_Chat. On the other Mail_and_Newsgroups and Address_Book are missing. How can I add Mail_and_Newsgroups and Address_Book? [03:39] Shidash, and is your card not showing up at all? [03:40] user_g, it's no stronger than your password (and potentially less, although to determine that I'd have to actually spend some time looking up your exact command line) [03:40] user_g, the password is generally the weakest part of gpg though [03:40] hence the use of keys [03:40] ok, i c [03:40] I'm trying to select a device for my webcam in gstreamer-properties but it's not letting me, can someone help? [03:40] as a general principle, human beings can't remember enough bits to make good key material [03:41] user_g, they call them 'pass phrases' in this context for a reason [03:41] pete_: I am not sure, sometimes it seems to show up and sometimes it doesn't. I am very new to Ubuntu and have not dealt with this issue before, so I am unsure. [03:41] user_g, a nice long sentence is far preferable to a single word password [03:41] Shidash, so some times your sound works and some times it does not? [03:41] Shidash, my only conclusion then, and i could be wrong, is that your hardware is damaged [03:42] well... passph. for me = x!`v5j7L9). etc. so tough to break === xod is now known as onats [03:42] pete_: Not full sound. I have had noises work, but not sound. [03:42] o [03:42] pete_: I have XP on dual boot and sound works fine on there. [03:42] Shidash, im sorry i must leave for like 5 minutes but I will be right back [03:42] i promise to help you [03:42] hi BrianR___ [03:42] pete_okay [03:42] pete_: Thank you [03:42] cwillu: can't find the link but saw somewhere that's there is now a chip (quantum) which can't be put in a binary computer... -something along those lines [03:43] making cracking binary stuff easily available to the average joe [03:43] hello, im trying to make a launcher launch a bash script, this possible? [03:44] yes [03:44] gartral: yes [03:44] leaf-sheep? [03:44] RDove mdg erm.. how? [03:44] gartral: you using gnome? [03:44] * gartral nods to mdg [03:44] XDevHald: Check your PMs. [03:45] How can I change a process's default "nice" value? [03:45] !nice [03:45] 'Nice' is a property of a process that determines how willing it is to give CPU time to other processes. A higher value makes it more likely to give away time. A negative value makes it less likely. Values are from -19 to 19, with 0 being the default. For more information, type 'man nice' at a terminal. [03:45] gartral: right click on an open portion of your desktop and in the resulting window choose "create launcher" [03:45] `man nice` doesn't do what i'm looking for. [03:46] mdg: got that far, made the icon, added the path to the script and set both as executable, nada [03:46] I'm looking for help to remove wine leftover files in the Applications tab if anyone has time. [03:46] gartral, did u im me? [03:46] user_g: sorry, wrong name [03:46] gartral: for "Type" did you choose "application in terminal?" [03:46] gartral: np [03:46] Shidash, ok [03:47] mdg: nope, thanks, ill try that [03:47] pete_: Should I PM you? It might be easier. [03:47] ok [03:47] gartral: bash needs a terminal window to run a script.... [03:48] mdg: when i cliked the script itself it can run without a term window [03:48] gartral: the "launcher" wont know that without you telling it... [03:49] mdg: ahh, well.. nada.. proc revved then stopped again [03:49] gartral: "when you clicked the script? [03:49] hey anyone ever fix a "checksum failure" post? [03:50] dragon: use `renice` [03:50] mdg: double clicked.. (i say "click" cause i park my mouse and nav with keyboard, it's a bit more comfy that way >.>) [03:50] dragon: oh cool, thanks! [03:50] gartral: is your script stored on the desktop.. like in a text file? [03:51] mdg: no, it's an non-extension file residing in the path of /home/gareth/nwn/ [03:51] i need some help in order to fix my empathy status problem i need to update from telepathy-butterfly-0.5.0. to 0.5.1 anyone have any clue how i can do this [03:52] gartral: that's the path you used for the launcher right? === Guest18649 is now known as leandrodeassis [03:52] * gartral nods again at ndg [03:52] mdg: yep, /home/gareth/nwn/nwn is the full path (the script is named nwn) [03:53] gartral: if you use Altr + F2 and type the complete path, what happens? [03:53] gsstreamer-properties is not letting me select an input device for Video, how can I fix this? [03:53] gartral: Alt + F2 [03:53] mdg: nothing.. odd [03:54] mdg: ahh.. didn't ask it to popen a terminal [03:55] mdg: nope, nvm... nothing [03:55] gartral: hmmm.... [03:56] * gartral makes a simlink to the file [03:56] the simlink... does not work >.< [03:56] gartral: how about "alt + F2 nwn or whatever the name was - does that do anything? [03:56] Currently download DSL! Wish me luck on the install [03:56] gartral: without the full path [03:57] stevex: boot it live a few times before you install [03:57] mdg: opens the folder [03:57] I have installed SeaMonkey 1.1.17 on two computers. On one computer the Window menu shows the menu items Navigator, Mail_&_Newsgroups, Composer, Address_Book and IRC_Chat. On the other Mail_and_Newsgroups and Address_Book are missing. How can I add Mail_and_Newsgroups and Address_Book? [03:57] gartral: is that what its supposed to do? [03:58] mdg: no, it's supposed to open neverwinter nights [03:58] gartral: wjat [03:58] gartral: whats neverwinter nights? [03:59] mdg: a commercial game made by atari and liscenced by wizards of the coast, and the linux compatability is not too bad [03:59] is anyone here good with GIMP? === fernando is now known as Guest89744 [03:59] I need to make a template for which to print out acutual size [03:59] but I don't know how to do dimensioned drawings in GIMP [04:00] gartral: oh... [04:00] Good evening everyone!!!! [04:01] mdg: i figured out the problem/... [04:01] gartral: when you launch it from your script -it runs in terminal or what? [04:01] Ubee: It's morning in Berlin, Germany. [04:01] when karmic koala is released, will I be able to download it easily online? [04:02] Ubee: I'm sure you will [04:02] mdg: it askes, and will run weather i say in term or just run, so what imma do is set an alias for it, then point a launcher at the alias >) [04:02] >:) [04:02] why would it be different than any other release? [04:02] So nobody here knows GIMP? [04:02] i know of it... [04:02] Wiseman: ask in #gimp [04:02] Wiseman: you want to use Gimp as if it were a cad tool? [04:02] Wiseman, try #gimp [04:02] Does anyone know of a video where I can see a demonstration of Karmic Koala? [04:02] Nobody's awake in #gimp [04:03] Ubee: youtube or a live-cd [04:03] cfedde: yeah something like that [04:03] Ubee: check out #ubuntu+1 for karmic stuff. [04:03] gartral: sounds like you are making it more complicated.... [04:03] I downloaded qcad and it's almost unusable [04:03] mdg: can i pm you the contents of this script? i think it would explain alot x.x [04:04] pastebin it [04:04] gartral: pastebin it [04:04] qcad is not so bad. Pretty much like autocad and things like mountantop. [04:04] gartral: the more eyes looking at it - the better [04:04] mdg: really i cant, its got a Atari header pointing to an eula.. [04:05] cfedde: well can you walk me through qcad then? I just need to make a line and a few points dimensioned [04:05] gartral: so you are wanting a desktop launcher or are you just going to use an alias.... [04:06] Wiseman: googling qcad tutorial gave me a few reasonable hits. [04:06] mdg: im doing a kludge and making a desktop launcher to an alias x.x [04:06] gartral: again, it sounds like you are making more work for yourself... [04:08] gartral: so right now to run nwn you pop open a terminal and type "nwn" and it starts that game right? [04:08] mdg: the script points to several loaders.. [04:08] mdg: no [04:08] so they must be doing alot of bug fixes and updates cause i the past two days i have done apt-get upgrade and its always find 143 updates each time [04:08] oi, alguém pode me ajudar? [04:08] mdg: to play, i need to open the folder it's located in and click the file, or type the (aleit short) path ./nwn/nwn into a terminal [04:09] !pt | lile [04:09] lile: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Para a comunidade local portuguêsa, #ubuntu-pt. Obrigado. [04:09] lile, brazilian moron. [04:09] gartral: where's this bash script part.... [04:09] how long do you guys usually wait to upgrade to the new release? [04:09] !attitude | Ximbinha [04:09] Ximbinha: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [04:10] is there a way to change the location of folder emblem(s)? [04:10] Does anyone know how I can download New York times reader on to my computer? [04:11] eyeron: One month. [04:11] sudo apt-get install New_York_Times_Reader [04:11] gartral: Alt + F2 ./nwn/nwn === see what happens [04:11] thanks bullgard4 [04:11] gartral: type out the full path to the program in the launcher. [04:11] mdg: tried it, nada [04:11] prince_jammys: tried that too [04:12] gartral: so when does it work properly? [04:12] prince_jammys: when i double click the script or open from term [04:13] eyeron: I should hasten to add that is because I have another computer using a long-term support version too. [04:13] Ubee: you need the link or you don't know how to install? [04:13] prince_jammys mdg imma just makin my alias and saying "kludging is better than clicking' [04:13] oh ok [04:13] gartral: type full path including the ./nwn/nwn [04:13] gartral: i don't see the special benefit of the alias. You can just put the prog somewhere in your PATH [04:13] brb all [04:14] so bullgard4, although i am using jaunty as my one and only system, you would recommend waiting a minimum of one month? [04:14] prince_jammys: noooot really... i have a *full* 60 drive as my main, and a 160 gb drive for /home... and nwn takes 10 gigs all said and done [04:15] eyeron: Yes, definitively yes. [04:15] much appreciated sir [04:15] heya. whats the meaning of the number and letter in the runlevel symlinks? e.g S20 ? [04:15] hwow do i reload the aliases so i dont have to log out>in again?\ [04:16] ExElNeT S means it'll be started, K means it'll be stopped. The numbers make sure the scripts are run in the right order. [04:16] gartral: exec bash [04:16] gartral: in a .profile or .bashrc? . ~/.bashrc [04:17] hello everybody [04:17] don't put aliases in .profile [04:17] i messed things up [04:17] cfedde: bashrc, prince_jammys got it [04:17] lluad: so S99 means last and K99 first? [04:17] Ubee: ??? [04:17] i moved /bin and now I can't launch the terminal [04:17] how do I move back from nautilus? [04:17] lluad: in order... [04:17] ExElNeT: The number is choosen to establish a certain sequence of commands to be executed. Usually a higher number will be executed later. -- I do not know the meaning of different letters. May be the calling program responds only to a certain letter. [04:17] XimDev: do you have physical access to the computer? [04:17] yes... [04:18] XimDev: boot with a live CD, mount the filesystem and move it back. [04:18] aarrgh [04:18] Something like that, yes, ExElNeT. It's been a while since I've had to mess with it by hand. :) [04:18] can't I do it without rebooting? [04:18] gartral: so literaly type '. .bashrc' w/o the quotes of course [04:18] XimDev: maybe. painfully, probably. It'll probably take longer to figure out than doing the above. [04:19] XimDev: not really.. what you did was completly bork all the launching and operating capabilities of your comp, once you reboot, you wont be able to boot normally again till that /bin is moved _back_ [04:19] XimDev: Are you setting at the desktop now? [04:20] I have installed SeaMonkey 1.1.17 on two computers. On one computer the Window menu shows the menu items Navigator, Mail_&_Newsgroups, Composer, Address_Book and IRC_Chat. On the other Mail_and_Newsgroups and Address_Book are missing. How can I add Mail_and_Newsgroups and Address_Book? [04:20] yes [04:20] gartral: that's why i joined the channel, i want to do it before rebooting [04:21] lluad: bullgard4 thanks... but i have still a problem... i cant start an init script just fine, but if wanna start it automatically on startup it fails... is there any log which would help me finding out why the script fails on bootup?

[04:48] shawn_: ubuntu isn't afraid to utilize non-free software by default. debian is a more 'pure' version of a 'free' OS [04:49] lifestream: you've been running ubuntu from USB for 2 hours? [04:49] Gnea ahh I see. They said "Ubuntu is marketed towards old men who dont have any skill using a computer" xD [04:49] mlissner: that's weird, considering it's supposed to work with evolution and/or thunderbird... looks like the 'or' portion of that is broken [04:49] lifestream: resize windows and make room to install ubuntu :) [04:50] Gnea: that means debian hav less drivers comparing 2 ubuntu? [04:50] mlissner: are you on jaunty? [04:50] Gnea: Fact. Is there an easy way to tell aptitude/apt-get exactly what to remove. [04:50] mdg I've been restarting ubuntu, yes, configuring it and updating, for the past 2 hours; whenever I reboot, I hit "Boot from USB drive" *facepalm* ^^ [04:50] Gnea: I'm on the latest, whatever that is by name.

[05:25] nope [05:25] it has it's own set of panels and workspaces, but is running off my machine here [05:26] can't drag windows in between [05:26] o [05:26] When I use my other monitor I just make it so that it's an extension. And when I have a window in my second monitor I just make it fullscreen (i.e. terminal) [05:27] okay, but do you know if there is a way to remote desktop to both monitors? there seem to be plenty of problems with separate x screens === jabagawee_ is now known as jabagawee [05:27] Look into 'NX Client' [05:27] !nx client [05:27] Sorry, I don't know anything about nx client [05:28] !nx [05:28] FreeNX is advanced remote desktop technology.

But one biggie: Is Adobe Flash available yet for 64bit? [05:30] !flash [05:30] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [05:30] Certainly, Maarten.

I need help installing skipstone browser from source [05:32] Yeah I see that link above now, great! I think I will go and get a x64 version of ubuntu real quick while booted in windows, and wipe the 32bit partition.

Im looking to get counter strike source server to start on boot on my ubuntu sevrer machine. any help is much appreciated [05:32] I need help compiling tarballs please help [05:33] prod1: Humm, I suggest having a look at guides in other places.

I've worked with that myself; let me know if you need any further assistance. :) [05:34] thanx so much [05:34] shall hav a browse now [05:34] this place is so much better than rummaging through google :D [05:35] prod1: It was the first result for "CS: Source Linux Server" ;) [05:36] hi [05:36] Anyone alive? [05:36] D: [05:37] I installed Partition Manager on my Ubuntu 8.10 (installed using Wubi), I want to create another partition but when I try to boot using Partition Manager I get the error "Error 23: Error while parsing number". Can anyone help me? [05:38] ah yes, that tut is very helpful but i already have the server up and running and all is working fine. i just built this dedi to run at lan so i need it to all start without doing anything but turn it on [05:39] I also have a linux shell coming soon so this is a trial run for the shell :) [05:41] If anyone has a good tutorial on running apps on boot through terminal would be great :) [05:43] anyone know anything about vsftpd? [05:44] hola [05:44] GSF1200S_, i know a bit [05:44] hi [05:46] prod1, you can use webmin to aid you in the configuration of a linux box [05:46] :O [05:46] techie- i cant get the daemon to start [05:47] ok thanx ill check it out [05:47] well, i have proftp working, but I hear thats pretty insecure [05:47] GSF1200S_, sudo /etc/init.d/vsftpd restart [05:47] right.. it just says fail [05:47] GSF1200S_, you will probably need to stop proftpd [05:48] gsf/w 19 [05:48] Woops. [05:48] problems here with an external usb sound device... audio playback is fine out of the box with 9.04 (system sounds, firefox, etc).. yet i'm having troubles with other audio apps asking me to specify the audio device... can't seem to find which the correct one is [05:49] techie: yeah, I did [05:49] will there ever be "multilib" functionality where one can have 32-bit libraries alongside 64-bit libraries, without a chroot or manual package building? [05:50] techie [05:50] hmmm [05:50] GSF1200S_, what output did it give? [05:51] I'm not able to install ubuntu 9.04, I get some error related to VIA SATA driver ? Any one with same expirienced? [05:51] i stopped it by /etc/init.d/proftpd stop and it said done, but now when I killall proftpd, vsftpd works.. [05:52] techie: its working now. It just said fail before, but apparantly couldnt open port 21 im assuming because proftpd wasnt gone [05:52] GSF1200S_, maybe proftpd wasnt running as a system service but rather as an application [05:52] Hi, I want to know how to install itunes in my computer./ [05:52] GSF1200S_, that sounds about right, may i suggest you uninstall proftpd [05:52] What user is special user id 0? [05:52] Is that the root user? [05:52] LinuX2half: On Ubuntu? [05:53] techie: thanks, you made me relook and try killall :) yeah, i ran gproftpd which started proftpd.. ill remove it now [05:53] GSF1200S_, no problem [05:53] menza: yes [05:53] myownserver, yes [05:53] LinuX2half: Short answer: You don't. [05:54] eminor: Thank you, I finally solved a long time riddle no one has been able to answer. [05:54] LinuX2half: Long answer: Some people appear to have had success with iTunes 8.2 and Wine. Anything later has gotten "Garbage" ratings, but iTunes has always been a problem with Wine [05:54] LinuX2half, what did you need to install itunes for, was there a certain function you needed? [05:54] draconis, with the getlibs program and the linux32 command it's getting close [05:54] wow webmin looks brilliant ;) thanx so much [05:55] prod1, no problem [05:55] does anybody got flashfxp working with wine on ubuntu? [05:55] I need to recharge my ipod and add music/photo/videos [05:55] !ipod | LinuX2half [05:55] LinuX2half: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - For the iPhone and the iPod Touch, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod [05:55] ZykoticK9: err, getlibs seems to do the annoying "make me resolve my own dependencies" thing [05:55] ZykoticK9: isn't that what like, a package manager is for? [05:56] how to disble the in-built VIA_SATA driver in Ubuntu 9.04 Install disk?? [05:56] Hey, I have a quick question if anyone might know... [05:57] BlackSheep: go on! [05:57] How do you power up the USB ports? I have one port that was plugged into at start up, and it works [05:57] but the others do not [05:57] myownserver, you could look at your /etc/passwd or type sudo id in a console :) [05:57] BlackSheep: That seems odd. USB is hot-pluggable, and you should... just be able to plug anything in it at any given time. [05:57] BlackSheep: Does lsusb yield any output? [05:58] That's what I reckon. I think I should just try restarting. [05:58] BlackSheep: Well, see if you can see your plugged-in devices with lsusb. [05:58] ZykoticK9: do you know what I mean? how is it really "getting close"? [05:58] well, it's been getting close since 1998 [05:59] Well, that is stalling but lsmod | grep usb shows the one device (an audio interface) that I've plugged in. [05:59] hi all [05:59] i have a couple of apps that require me to specify my sound device for output... yet i'm not having any luck determining which one it is (no /dev/audio, /dev/dsp).. it's a usb sound device.. anyone have any ideas? [05:59] i've recently installed synfig studio on my ubuntu box [05:59] ZykoticK9: I'm really interested if there's a solution [05:59] problem is it attempts to start and appears to close [06:00] soon after the splash screen [06:00] MenZa: I'll just restart my computer. But thanks anyway. [06:00] BlackSheep: No worries! [06:00] any suggestions appreciated [06:00] 23:59 -!- man_ [n=user7@114.129.18.3] has joined #ubuntu [06:01] oops [06:01] can someone point me in the right direction for command line syncing of an ipod touch?

[06:04] MenZa: just letting you know that the restart worked. That was odd. [06:05] so how do I install a VMware to my computer [06:05] BlackSheep: Thanks - and that is odd.

[06:09] LinuX2half: oh, wait.. y ou will need the proprietary VirtualBox, not VirtualBox-OSE [06:09] yes [06:09] LinuX2half: since you need the USB passthrough feature [06:09] ps [06:09] !source | russ [06:09] russ: You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html [06:09] the OS edition does not support usb [06:09] LinuX2half, if you wish to use itunes to manage your ipod in virtualbox you will need to get the .deb from their website as the open source version doesnt have usb support [06:09] :) [06:09] a mi me gustaría hablar sobre ubuntu y el software libre pero no hablo mucho el ingles :( [06:09] !es | WHK [06:09] WHK: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés.

[06:13] LinuX2half: i guess, but I know rhythmbox also has support [06:13] prince_jammys thank you [06:13] thanx for the webmin info :) I am trying to do this on my lan dedi box i hav sitting here with ubuntu server [06:13] LinuX2half: I've been told that some of the later ones cannot sync properly unless you jailbreak them [06:13] russ: welcome [06:13] prod1, may i pm you [06:13] LinuX2half: though I'm not sure if that's true [06:13] ye please :) [06:14] LinuX2half: http://www.ipodtouchfans.com/forums/showthread.php?t=33754 [06:15] LinuX2half: this might not be valid, but it probably is [06:16] prince_jammys, ok thanks... so if i raise www-data permission to 7 ... i can give 1 to all other? it will display the page without giving a read access (example for passwords)? [06:16] histo, I'm running Jaunty, and I need to add a root command to bootup. It has to be after everything else is booted, except the Desktop, Where do I put this command? [06:17] *not histo, sorry, meant "Hi" [06:17] hi. what permissions and owner should my /etc/ssh folder and files have [06:17] !wine [06:17] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [06:17] lifestream: well, init (upstart) would run it so it would automatically be root, iirc [06:18] draconis, okay..so I have to compile gtkpod manually...it seemed that this takes some time to complete... [06:18] LinuX2half: rhythmbox should have libgpod already... [06:18] draconis, oh ok, it's just I keep reading contradicting information online. thanks [06:19] lifestream: what are you trying to do, exactly? what are you trying to run? [06:19] draconis, well rhythmbox is for playback and gtkpod is for sync [06:19] draconis, remove the module pcspkr at every boot, because blacklisting it does not work [06:20] lifestream: that's... strange, as I was able to blacklist that and my Nvidia HDA audio [06:21] lifestream: you know, you can just delete the module :P [06:21] draconis, yes, I blacklist it so I don't get deaf by beeps, but no matter how many checkboxes I check off, my ears still tingle with pain :P [06:21] does ubuntu have a modprobe.conf file? you can add something like "install pcspkr /bin/true" [06:22] lifestream: you can also put "xset b 0" into your bash rc [06:22] is there any way to connect to afp shares in Ubuntu? [06:22] lifestream: but removing the pcspkr module WILL disable it, as it won't be able to find it [06:22] testing. [06:22] draconis, been trying since hmmm, hearty heron I think, no workarounds work :O So upstart it will be *:D* [06:23] lifestream: no, removing the module WILL work [06:23] lifestream: does 'rmmod' even work? [06:23] draconis, Hmm, I thought I would have to recompile the kernel for that, no? [06:24] lifestream: no, if it's builtin there's a problem, because Ubuntu doesn't ship kernels with pcspkr builtin [06:24] captaincrook: describe your problem in more detail. I don't understand it. [06:25] lifestream: /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/input/misc/pcspkr.ko [06:25] prince_jammys, great that im not the only one [06:25] heh [06:25] draconis, just remove that file? :P [06:25] lifestream: is that file there? that's the kernel module, you can delete it and it can't be loaded [06:26] lifestream: note, when you upgrade the kernel it'll get added. [06:26] what's the command to check the network traffic? [06:26] modprobe -l | grep pcspkr would help to find it :-) [06:26] draconis, Yes, it's there [06:28] eminor: yeah but i didn't realize to say that [06:28] captaincrook: i *think* what you might mean is that your scripts have hard-coded passwords in them (like mysql passwords), and you want the script files not to be readable. [06:28] You know what, I made a typo on the blacklist file @_@ Fixed it, let me see if this year/month/day, that blacklist works :P *brb* [06:28] and thank you :) [06:29] prince_jammys, well... (www-data check password file, www-data says its good www-data give access...) user has acess denied when trying to file_get_content(file) ... [06:29] prince_jammys, right... [06:30] hey anyone willing to let me remote desktop your system? only give me access to view only. i just want to try it out and see. anyone? [06:30] captaincrook: then setting the 'other' bit to 1 on regular files should do. (they'd only be readable by the owner and group) [06:30] captaincrook: err, 4 [06:31] bah, i'm zoning out. [06:32] captaincrook: i said something wrong, twice. set the 'other' to just zero (no read, write or execute). [06:34] so it becomes: -rw-r----- foo.php www-data www-data [06:34] prince_jammys, i think i got it right... finally... [06:35] Can someone help me?

[06:36] Don't ask to ask, just ask :) [06:36] lol [06:38] Alright, I installed Ubuntu using Wubi.exe (so Ubuntu's installation is a file inside Windows) and now I am wanting to move Ubuntu to its own partition (and then LVMP to transfer Ubuntu onto there so i can delete the windows partition) but when I try to boot using Partition Manager I get "Error 23: Error while parsing numbers".

The script is in /home/nick/script but I can't put ./home/nick/script because it only executes while im current in the directory running ./script any idea how to do this? [06:40] captaincrook: sudo chmod -R o-rwx /var/www is likely what you're talking about [06:40] captaincrook: then verify that all files in there are owned by www-data:www-data [06:40] It is not possible to write with the current set of plugins. why do i get this error when i try to write to a cd?

[07:16] That worked. [07:16] I used the dd command to back up a drive image. As I understood it, I would be able to restore the drive image with the command "cat x* | sudo dd of=/dev/sda3". 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!

[08:26] I have another question, I did have an ip set via static ip, then I set it back to dhcp, as I am using a static DHCP address, but now when starting a counter strike source server it still trys to bind to 192.168.1.180 which was the old address. Where all would I remove this address so it indicates via DHCP? [08:26] My ifconfig does indicate the correct DHCP assigned address [08:27] How can I disable a startup service via the cli?

[08:30] Hi all: I got a wired problem here. I have to salvage an old university work stuck on a FLOPPY. Yes I read it correctly. So: are there any tools available under linux to do the job. (I thought of some dd command, maybe ?) [08:30] Oblong: well, where did you set the static ip?

[08:32] it is a old nv10 geforce 256sdr [08:32] you know I did not try it on this machine while it was set static [08:32] qwerkus: see also mtools - utilities to access DOS disks in Unix [08:32] hmm. what is the package name for your restricted drivers?

Is there a way to determine whether ubuntu will work flawlessly with certain components? I've tried browsing hardware compatibility lists, but I only seem to find info on older components. [08:41] n1co can you tell me what is nvidia-glx-71 and whats is it doing [08:41] bluey: interesting, mine is pending but no answer yet, google hits on some virtualbox complaints, are you running that? [08:41] cheslyn: there are different binary driver for nvidia cards [08:41] mb -- no [08:42] cheslyn: nvidia-glx-71 is the older one [08:42] like what [08:42] !ubotto hcl [08:42] Sorry, I don't know anything about ubotto hcl [08:42] !hcl [08:42] For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection === ben is now known as Guest88072 [08:43] thanks I was in the process of looking up where the hcl was... [08:43] dantonic, you'll have better luck googling your components to see if they give common issues under ubuntu [08:43] ubuntu has driver support for the vast majority of components though [08:44] Two4, thats what I figured, was just looking about the amd 785 chipset havent been able to find anything... [08:44] i have ubuntu on a dual core machine, less then a year old, and it's on a compaq desktop pro - about 8 years old - works find on either [08:44] Two4, just want to make sure I get a system that is compatible... so I dont have to deal with little annoyances... [08:45] any issues or any drivers, dantonic? [08:45] nytol..... [08:45] Two4, havent bought it yet... :P but want to! [08:45] problems usually only in laptops these days, such as suspend or wireless [08:45] n1co, have you run the apt-get command? [08:45] Two4, I dont want to buy something and realize I have to install... winBLOWS to use it... [08:46] well I have a desktop junkbit, and I have some issues... on suspend... I lose network capabilities [08:46] its an old amd athlon 64 3200 [08:46] single core :P [08:46] on another old P4 box... other issues... the sound and video card :( lots of troubleshooting to get it to work [08:47] older sound and video cards are a b*tch [08:47] i agree [08:47] Two4, probably so is there a lot of support for newer stuff? I mean who writes drivers for it? is it the community or the chipset manufacturers? [08:48] for linux I mean [08:48] Dantonic: depends. :) [08:48] nvidia are pretty good, so is intel [08:48] chipset manufacturers tend to release restricted drivers, while the community write free drivers [08:48] if the company releses good specs.. it can help a lot [08:48] but there is lots of copy's [08:48] restricted drivers tend to be better, but free drivers suffice for most components [08:49] I see [08:49] hi there [08:49] Hello , Are there any multiplayer car racing games for ubuntu ? That has lots of players. [08:49] unforutnately this is what gigabyte says for the mobo I want to purchase: [08:49] Due to different Linux support condition provided by chipset vendors, please download Linux driver from chipset vendors' website or 3rd party website.

[10:00] fahadsadah: how to fix the current situation cuz I downloaded a lot of videos and don't want to download them again [10:00] Hello. The documentation at https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/serverguide/C/httpd.html#https-configuration dosent seem to be accurate any more. [10:01] Anyone know how to kill a process with something like echo 1 > /proc/??? I google just gives me a load of kill or allkill, which ain't work for me? [10:01] PenStand: Not sure. [10:01] pipa: Pass an argument to kill. [10:01] anybody else please? [10:01] Typically -2 or -9 [10:01] trwww: Update it then :) [10:01] in particular, installing apache2-common says "Package apache-common is not available, but is referred to by another package." [10:01] Oh, that's official docs. [10:02] fahadsadah: no argument to kill will work! [10:02] trwww: apache2-common, not apache-common [10:02] so, we installed Ubuntu on the laptop, and now it demands a username and password to log on ... everyting we tried failed ... [10:02] ah of course [10:02] pipa: Paste command line, and return, please? [10:02] isnt it normal to run some sot of "please set up the first user/admin account" dialog ???? [10:02] so guys isn't there anyway to run youtube flv videos correctly? [10:02] robin_sz: You'll be asked in setup. [10:03] If you weren't, there are ways of resetting it. [10:03] we werent [10:03] robin_sz: you're asked that during the installation itself. [10:03] robin_sz: Which ISO were you using? [10:03] dunno, it was just a disc someone gave me [10:03] Flannel: I've seen this, on one of my own PCs. [10:03] Flannel: I just resetted the password. [10:03] Hola [10:03] robin_sz: Please reboot the computer into recovery mode? [10:03] alguien español [10:03] !recovery | robin_sz [10:03] robin_sz: To rescue a broken system, boot the alternate install CD and select "Rescue a broken system" [10:04] fahadsadah: Okay I have those packages, but yet 'sudo a2ensite default-ssl' complains that no site exists. [10:04] !es | gabri [10:04] gabri: 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. [10:04] so, is it bricked? [10:04] ubottu: flv [10:04] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [10:04] fahadsadah: sudo kill -9 2324, where 2324 is the pid of xorg [10:04] robin_sz: No. But often this happens with odd third party installers, which ones were you using? [10:04] fahadsadah: gracias [10:04] ubottu: youtube [10:04] Sorry, I don't know anything about youtube === JonJ_ is now known as JonJ [10:05] pipa: Very odd. [10:05] robin_sz: Are you in recovery mode? [10:05] it was an iso from the ubuntu site, I dont know which one and therre is no way of telling from the screen, no "about" option [10:05] robin_sz: Alright. And was it a graphical install? or textmode install? [10:06] fahadsadah: I am looking for echo 1 > /proc/*** type stuff [10:06] graphical [10:06] pipa: One second, please? [10:06] ahm the terminal say Ubuntu 9.04 [10:06] after some googling it seems that I have to recompile ffmpeg to make it support flv. Any other way!? [10:06] shall I just reboot into single user and set the root passwd? [10:07] robin_sz: No, you don't need to set the root password. [10:07] I suspect I do [10:07] robin_sz: wait, where in the terminal does it say 9.04? [10:07] just above the login prompt, on the tty [10:08] obviously not on the x based login [10:08] robin_sz: In recovery mode, drop to a root shell, and reset your password with "passwd username" [10:08] robin_sz: Alright. Well, again, you don't need to set the root password, just the user passwrd. Although, I'd be suspect of that CD, normal Ubuntu installers ask you for this stuff during the install, yours seems to have been modified in some way. [10:09] * robin_sz wonders what recovery moe might be [10:09] !recovery | robin_sz [10:09] robin_sz: To rescue a broken system, boot the alternate install CD and select "Rescue a broken system" [10:09] Hey guys, lookiong for an app that will record audio and video at the same time in ubuntu, ideas? [10:09] Err... [10:09] Wrong thing [10:09] webcam and mic [10:09] Reboot it. [10:09] Pressing Esc [10:09] boot from the CD? [10:10] No, HD [10:10] can bash do a function call with sudo?? I tried "sudo cleanup" as it implies, cleanup is the function. [10:10] innomen: vlc doesn't do stuff like that? [10:10] cI tell you what, I just boot linux single and set root passwd [10:10] i dont know let me look [10:10] kyja : yes [10:10] kyja: no, at least not that way. sudo runs external commmands, it's not bash. [10:10] innomen: or you mean record video as in record what's showing on your computer screen? not from a webcam or such? [10:11] ciao [10:11] robin_sz: Recovery console is single user mode. And again, you don't need to set the root password, the root login is locked in Ubuntu (or should be, I suppose with a potentially tainted install, anything is possible) [10:11] well that explains it :/ I have to discover a solution [10:11] kyja: you might be able to do it by : export -f cleanup; sudo bash -c 'cleanup' [10:11] Slart, no you're right, from webcam and mic, like for doing youtube [10:11] do you have vlc on your machine? [10:11] and webcam/mic? [10:11] kyja: though that may not work, because sudo modifies the environment. [10:11] oh thanks prince_jammys I will try that [10:11] i had no idea vlc was even capable of captureing [10:12] sudo -s [10:12] innomen: sure.. let me see if it works [10:12] Doesn't [10:12] Err, disregard that [10:12] kyja: yeah, it doesn't work. sudo prevents this on purpose. [10:13] just checked my conenction with command ethtool and it is duplex: half, which is weird since I have broadband, it should be full. Is there a way to fix this? [10:13] Hey folks, does anyone know how to setup auto spindown on an external USB drive? hdparam refuses to do that [10:13] i see the open capture device, but i think it's looking for like a video capture card [10:13] :( guess i will go back to it being an exteral script [10:13] innomen: it seems cheese records both video and audio.. not really sure where it gets the audio from though.. it doesn't seem to use the mic on the webcam =/ [10:13] Hey ! im on live CD how to edit things from terminal on my local ubuntu [10:13] hmmm ... I dotn see a grub menu during boot ... [10:14] thomson: tried sdparm? [10:14] Slart, i cant get cheese ot preduce audio at all [10:14] kyja: but you can do this hack: sudo bash -c "$(declare -f cleanup); cleanup" [10:14] and I dont see a "recovery mode" option on the gdm options [10:14] Toxica: Mount it. [10:14] robin_sz: No, its at the GRUB menu [10:14] llutz: not yet, what does it do? [10:14] ooh ok I will try prince_jammys [10:14] kyja: which will redefine the function in the bash mini-script you're sudoing. === Ubuntu is now known as shashwatpns [10:14] innomen: it records some kind of audio (there is an audio track in the generated movie file) but I don't know where it records it from [10:14] fahadsadah : mount how [10:14] thomson: it's hdparm for scsi-device (usb is mapped as scsi) [10:14] Flannel, I dont see a grub menu during boot [10:15] robin_sz: hit escape during/directly after your POST [10:15] Toxica: Please paste the output of "mount" and "sudo fdisk -l"? [10:15] Slart, you know of any other options? [10:15] llutz: sounds interesting, i'll give it a try [10:15] fahadsadah ; how to post it without flood [10:15] !pastebin | Toxica [10:15] Toxica: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic [10:15] innomen: vlc has a "capture mode".. you need to know the device name of the webcam (video4linux) and the device name of the audio source.. seems promising [10:16] !pastebinit [10:16] pastebinit is the command-line equivelent of !pastebin . Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output. Simple usage: command-name | pastebinit [10:16] Flannel, im pretty sure grub normally displays a boot menu, you dont have to hit esc [10:16] i have a 64-bit /bin/bash. i am trying to chroot a 32 bit slackware installation. how can i do that? [10:16] Flannel: Not always. [10:16] Slart, silly that it cant look for them [10:16] Slart, let me tinker [10:16] RobotCow: Do you get any errors doing it the normal way? [10:16] can anyone tell me how i can view my monitor settings and resolution settings [10:16] innomen: media menu, capture/save [10:17] when I boot the Ubuntu Netbook Remix from the USB drive, do I HAVE to install it? [10:17] fahadsadah, yes, chroot: cannot run command `/bin/bash': No such file or directory [10:17] PerryArmstrong: System->Preferences->Screen resolution [10:17] # file /bin/bash [10:17] /bin/bash: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.15, stripped [10:17] Hanso is the best theme so far , does anyone agree? [10:17] Please paste the exact chroot command you are using? [10:17] .... [10:17] ubuntistas: Matter of opinion. [10:17] I got a question, [10:17] fahadsadah; not that...there's some code in /etc..... somewhere right...i wanted the location [10:17] Hello! Anyone know of software (commercial is fine) to play BlueRay movies under Linux? [10:18] I'm at work trying to recover data off a hdd for someone. Spinrite cleared it as no having ba sectors so I'm guessing it's a much simpler recovery. I only have ubuntu 9.04 to work with - suggestions for program? [10:18] PerryArmstrong: /bin/bash doesn't exist in the slackware. Use /bin/sh [10:18] fahadsadah what your opinion? [10:18] fahadsadah : http://paste.ubuntu.com/278621/ , http://paste.ubuntu.com/278622/ [10:18] I tried compiling something, and it said I'm missing GLIB [10:18] ubuntistas: I don't theme ubuntu [10:18] apt-get install glib doesn't work [10:19] Darkedge: theres varouus WHATEVER-dev pckages needed to compile things [10:19] greetings all [10:19] finlan vo you [10:19] !compile [10:19] Compiling software from source?

[10:19] phew .. solved [10:19] Slart, how do i find the device name of ym webcam and my mic? [10:19] innomen: for video, something like /dev/video0 [10:19] fahadsadah : i want to edit things on my local ubuntu [10:19] Toxica: Sorry, nevermind [10:19] OK [10:19] is there anyone in that can help me with a wifi/network issue im having? [10:19] chroot /media/disk /bin/bash [10:20] so errr, [10:20] Then edit them the same way you would normally. [10:20] drop to a root shell, passwd, usermod -U root, job done [10:20] innomen: if you start cheese and go to preferences you get a small drop down list with the different webcams you can use.. it lists the device name as well [10:20] apt-get install glib-dev? [10:20] robin_sz: No. [10:20] Do not set a root password. [10:20] !anyone | siinz [10:20] siinz: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [10:20] fahadsadah; not that where's the xorg.conf file [10:20] q. if i do apt-get dist-upgrade, does it automatically do a apt-get upgrade before ? [10:20] my internet connection keeps dropping [10:21] ahh ok [10:21] jetienne: dist-upgrade is just upgrade that upgrades more things. [10:21] fahadsadah: ok thanks [10:21] *cough cough* apt-get install glib-dev was right, [10:21] xD [10:21] network issue... [10:21] fahadsadah, yes, worked a treat [10:21] can anyone tell me where the xorg.conf file is located [10:21] PerryArmstrong: /etc/X11 [10:22] turns out, it must have slurped up the old windows passwords [10:22] how do you fix a connection that should be duplex: full but is seen as duplex: half [10:22] Pirate_Hunter: what kind of connection? [10:22] prince_jammys, that worked perfectly. thank you alot for the help :) [10:23] please help! [10:23] Slart, i've got the device name/dev/video0 [10:23] Pirate_Hunter: for a wire connection? tried using ethtool? I think it can do stuff like that [10:23] kyja: welcome [10:23] now what? [10:23] okay...so heres my ssue...i just installed intrepid on my toshiba L305D-S5934 === root is now known as Guest14423 [10:23] i went through ndiswrapper and got the device functioning [10:23] ls [10:23] however...i cant get online still [10:23] ok got something [10:23] hi [10:23] it's playing my webcam like a video [10:23] howdy [10:24] im currently in iraq and get online through a service provided by locals that we log into after we connect to the server itself [10:24] innomen: ok.. then the audio.. I'm not quite sure about that one.. you can try running "aplay -l" or "aplay -L" in a terminal to get a list of devices.. not sure what to put for the device name though since alsa device doesn't have one of those /dev/ names afaik [10:24] like some hotspots [10:24] but it wont redirect me [10:24] and i cant manually get to it [10:24] siinz: normally those kinds of connections pass you through a proxy [10:24] Good luck getting that working [10:25] Hi guys, don't know where else to ask ... is there any CLI program to read say the abstract or the authors name or the title from pdf or ps? [10:25] Slart, well i'll do the sound in a minute how do i make it record what i'm seeing? [10:25] so...its not gonna work? [10:25] it works wired...but not wirelessly if that makes a difference === MadMax is now known as Guest85498 [10:25] Hanso is the best theme so far , does anyone agree? [10:25] siinz: have you tried loading something up on the web browser? [10:25] innomen: isn't there a setting somewhere in vlc to save the stream/video to a file.. ie capture it === Guest85498 is now known as MaxSid [10:25] ya...it works fine if im connected through my buddys vista computer with network sharing [10:25] but not on my own wirelessly [10:26] slart, thats what i'm asking i dont see it, this is a video player it dosent have a record button [10:26] siinz: does your friend have to log into a proxy to get it working? Like a network login page through the browser? [10:26] prince_jammys; thankss....hey how can i get the karmic kernel [10:26] yes [10:26] but i can access it from a wired connection [10:27] PerryArmstrong: ask at #ubuntu+1 , the channel for karmic [10:27] What are some USEFUL linux apps? [10:27] slart, wait i got it [10:27] siinz: it's probably your wireless driver then [10:27] i "stream" to a file [10:27] innomen: in media, convert/save, tab "Capture device" there is a Convert/Save button [10:27] Darkedge: very broad question [10:27] innomen: that would work too [10:27] Has anyone seen a shipit request being denied. I live in India which is in South-east Asia and one more thing, How do i know if my CD request is not 64x and is intel pentium prossesor 64x or from system monitor: Processor 0: Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU T4200 @ 2.00GHz and i can see it's Dual Core [10:27] 32bit vs 64bit wouldnt matter would it? [10:27] siinz: ndiswrapper usually gives poor results, you should use a native driver if available. [10:27] I know, [10:27] siinz: shouldn't, I wouldn't think [10:28] But is thr\ere any apps like WINE that don't come with ubuntu? [10:28] Unless you're trying to wrap a 32bit driver in 64bit OS, that could be messy [10:28] the native driver that came with intrepid didnt work at all [10:28] USB HD TUNERS anyone suggest model for Australian use with Jaunty? [10:28] Darkedge: there are some commercial alternatives to wine.. but they are pretty similar [10:28] hi, anyway to adjust the icon size for the 'Workspace Switcher'? [10:28] Darkedge: define "useful" [10:29] I've heared of Cross Over are there any others? [10:29] Darkedge: I use SSH and screen on a daily basis, but you might not find those useful [10:29] It depends on what your use cases are [10:29] prince_jammys; okk thank you [10:29] ectoplasm: is there another driver you would recommend then? [10:30] siinz: maybe the Jaunty driver [10:30] so update the system? [10:30] hi there === fahadsadah is now known as zz_fahadsadah [10:30] errr [10:31] Why is it say my NICK is being used?

(i.e. interface ssh0 for example) [19:41] coz,no,i did sudo apt-get install avant-window-navigator. [19:41] DonBrazini, ok let me try that here hold on [19:42] then it showed unmet dependencies,and bang,had to reinstall after two days [19:42] DonBrazini: Can you pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list and any files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ ? [19:42] Is it possible to set up postfix to have virtual users? I don't want to have a local unix account for every e-mail address. [19:43] Jordan,i had this problem,i reinstalled. [19:43] DonBrazini, ok AWN installed with no dependency errors at all [19:43] DonBrazini, perhaps your repositories are not all enabled ?? [19:44] yes it did on me after i re-installled,i dunno what happened that time [19:44] and i havnt seen a single case where unmet dependencies were soved. [19:44] LjL; yeap, it may be the trick. On VM I did apt-get update and then copied all files from /var/cache/apt/archives [19:45] hi there [19:45] LjL; i'll try to use packages from /var/cache/apt/archives that are there when apt-get isnalling without update === silversurfer is now known as _pedda_ [19:45] marek,good luck :P [19:45] What is the program for mounting and burning ISOs? [19:46] Daemen tools works great [19:46] Mhm [19:46] I used alcohol previously [19:46] Rosey: most burning programs should burn isos in linux, and sudo mount -o loop file.iso to_some_diretory will mount it [19:46] um this isn't #windows is it? [19:46] If I wanted to have virtual mailboxes on my ubuntu server, should I be editing dovecot or postfix settings? [19:46] cowbud,lol.

Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [19:48] Two4, are you trying to burn an ISO ? [19:48] cowbud, the problem with that method is that you can't unmount it without sudoing [19:48] JonathanEllis1: what about openoffice, or php or python etc... [19:48] Two4, I prefer gnomebaker for burning iso images [19:49] !install | Rosey [19:49] Rosey: please see above [19:49] LjL: unfortunatelly it didn't help [19:49] I was rferring to Rosey's problem [19:49] Rosey, I use gmount-iso (you can find it in synaptic) to mount isos, it is a nice graphical tool for doing it === enzotib_ is now known as enzotib [19:50] I see [19:50] How can I find my desktop size (below and above my panels) in pixels?

[19:56] i keep seeing these screen shots of desktops and it looks like they have a terminal on there desktop like wallpaper anyone know about it [19:56] Two4: okay [19:57] cowbud, you just need to add some more permissions options to give you permission to unmount it as user [19:57] kp: if you mean like norton, no ... but ubuntu comes complete with iptables (firewall) [19:57] is there a gparted like program that deals with LVM? [19:57] Slart, its anti virus [19:57] Good afternoon, everyone === x_ is now known as Megabyte [19:57] How do I make Firefox 3.5 my default browser? [19:57] KittyBoots: Open firefox and look in the preferences [19:57] kp: there are some third party anti-virus available.. but for a home user it isn't really needed [19:57] launch firefox and look in the settings for a default browser option [19:58] I know it's there somewhere. Anyone know where it is? [19:58] I would like to build ubuntu 1.1.30, as there's no binary build currently available for Ubuntu. How can I do this safely and build a package for testing? [19:58] it should ask itself [19:58] Or, if possible, get a package? [19:58] if its not the default browser [19:58] kp: make sure you keep your ubuntu system updated and use common sense.. that together with the fact that most malware is windows-oriented should keep you safe [19:58] KittyBoots, Edit>Preferences>Advanced>System Defaults>check now [19:58] Megabyte: ubuntu 1.1.30?? not sure what you mean? [19:58] DonBrazini: it? [19:59] firefox=it. [19:59] oh [19:59] fccf, Sorry, I meant Wine 1.1.30. [19:59] I am not asking the right questions. I have firefox 3.0 and 3.5 both installed according to synaptic. How do I start Firefox 3.5 and make it default? [19:59] Anyone know of any program to convert a gif animation in any kind of movie format? [19:59] KittyBoots, [19:59] KittyBoots, Edit>Preferences>Advanced>System Defaults>check now [19:59] KittyBoots, open FF 3.5 and do that [19:59] has anyone played cabal on ubuntu? [20:00] fccf, I need to build wine 1.1.30 [20:00] demonspork, I do not know how to open 3.5 [20:00] ooh [20:00] KittyBoots: it should be called Shiretoko on your system [20:00] coolcat, the image degradation is severe, I wouldn't do so. I don't know any programs though. [20:00] !shiretoko | KittyBoots [20:00] KittyBoots: FF3.5 is referred to as Shiretoko on your UI, see http://is.gd/1reB3 for an explanation [20:00] Slart, thank you for your information. after i using usb on ubuntu i see multiple option of OS before boot process, because of this i thought it could be virus infected [20:01] ubottu: ok i see it, thanks! [20:01] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [20:01] kp: that's just GRUB asking which kernel you want to boot with.. nothing to worry about [20:01] Megabyte, #winehq [20:01] I need to resize a LVM partition does anyone know of a program I can use to do this? [20:01] Two4, my main intention is to use my gif animations in presentations made in latex, I do not know any way of doing this. Do you have any advise? [20:02] Slart, oh thats great, thank you Slart [20:02] kp: you're welcome [20:02] I wouldn't know about latex, sorry, coolcat [20:03] Two4, Thank you anyway [20:03] coolcat: there is a latex channel on this network [20:03] how can i display all of my HDDs? [20:03] df? [20:03] is it called #latex? [20:03] coolcat: are you looking to do an animation in latex? for beamer or something? or you want a specific slide from the gif animation? [20:03] Megabyte: you will find what you are looking for here http://ppa.launchpad.net/huangjiahua/ppa/ubuntu/pool/main/w/wine/wine_1.1.30~ppa1_i386.deb [20:04] azlon: that will display all of your partitions, sure [20:04] azlon: I think df only shows the partitions you have mounted [20:04] jrib: i want more than that... i would like to see all of the sda, sdb, sdc [20:04] fccf, Thank you! [20:04] azlon: ls /dev/sd* ? [20:04] azlon: fdisk will show them.. or gparted.. or parted [20:04] perfect, thanks [20:05] azlon: ls /dev/disk/by-* is probably helpful too, but see what Slart said [20:05] jrib, Yes, i tried there already, but they do not seen to know how to do it. I would like to make a presentation where I could click and show a movie in the same window(in my case a gif animation)... [20:05] jrib, Slart: i reformatted yesterday and threw in a new primary HDD. now when i boot with my RAID-5 connected it wont boot... is this something common? [20:05] when i shutdown by "sudo shutdown now", it shuts down, but a brief 3-4 seconds, i see a bounch of errors in console - normal? [20:05] coolcat: I've seen videos in pdf's created by latex if my memory does not fail me [20:06] hanshenrik -> try to sync before shutting down for safety [20:06] azlon: sounds like the drives got renumbered.. I actually thought ubuntu's use of uuids would prevent problems like this.. but I wouldn't say I'm surprised something like this happens [20:06] n8tuser: sync? [20:06] jrib: I saw atemplate optimised for that once, but I couldn't get it working. [20:06] hanshenrik -> yes sync, ie syncing your or flushing the buffers [20:07] Slart: how can i fix it? [20:07] exit [20:07] hanshenrik: Are you sure that they are errors or are the just lines like "Stopping sshd" or "Sending all processes kill signal" ? [20:07] azlon -> you make rules in udev [20:07] Jordan_U: quite sure they'r errors, like ERROR: ~ text [20:07] Slart: should i boot from cd with the HDDs connected, then list the HDDs to see which is which, then confirm grub says the right drive for boot? [20:07] sorry, just wanted to quit channel ;) [20:07] jrib, I would be grateful if you could point me where to find information.. [20:07] !udev [20:07] Sorry, I don't know anything about udev [20:08] n8tuser: what is udev? [20:08] coolcat: http://www.uoregon.edu/~noeckel/PDFmovie.html looks like a promising lead. You may have to convert the gif to some video format [20:08] fccf, "wrong architeture x86" [20:08] coolcat: I would broaden your search to just embedding video in latex, as you can always convert the gif [20:08] Megabyte: what arch? [20:08] azlon: tougher question =) I would start looking at reconfiguring the raid drives.. say you previously had /dev/sda1, /dev/sdb1 and /dev/sdc1 in a raid5 config.. your new drive became the new /dev/sda1 so you would have to change the raid to use /dev/sdb1, /dev/sdc1 and /dev/sdd1 [20:08] azlon -> that pretty much replaced the MAKEDEV system before [20:08] fccf, Oh, there's an amd64 package right there. i'll try it. [20:08] I did an update of my Kubuntu 9.10 test machine today and it no longer brings up KDE. Is this a known issue? [20:09] Megabyte: perfect [20:09] azlon -> man udev [20:09] azlon: you might want to be careful about how you do this.. you don't want to reinitialize the raid volume ie erase everything and start again.. make sure you know what the commands you run actually do [20:09] !karmic | Toast [20:09] Toast: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 29th, 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [20:10] I'll hop over to the correct channel, thanks. (p.s. yes, I know it will break) === ubuntu_ is now known as darkham [20:10] fccf, I'm helping to test against a gdiplus bug [20:10] Slart: holy crap man... this sounds a lot like what happened... i think i remember my drives being labeled differently [20:10] Megabyte: have fun [20:11] so, I my laptop was running ubuntu jaunty with the hard drive exposed and a friend of mine picked it up, pinching the hard drive and the top, the hard drive made some noises, and now my laptop can't find my hard drive. [20:11] hanshenrik: Can you pastebin your /var/log/syslog ? [20:11] indexing in avidemux will modify the file? [20:11] i tried booting up a live cd, but that couldn't find the hard drive either [20:11] am i screwed? [20:12] azlon: not really a big problem.. you just have to tell your system where the raid partitions are located now.. I'm not really sure how to do that though.. I've given up on raid5 myself =) http://www.baarf.com/ [20:12] johncomposed1: yes, why would someone do that. HD=Delicate, espicially one that is designed to be mounted in a machine! [20:13] it was on the bottom of the laptop, and the laptop was closed. i just forgot to put the hard drive cover back on [20:13] darkham: I think avidemux uses a /tmp directory, not actually modifying anything until you save back to the file, Just making an index of frames when it pulls in video, which it saves to a temporary dir [20:14] ok, thanx [20:14] n8tuser: ok, reading through the man for udev, but what am i looking for? am i going to create a rule of some kind? [20:14] hi, i'm newbie. howto know xorg version? [20:15] hello [20:15] makmum: "head /var/log/Xorg.0.log" [20:15] i've a zte mf622 modem [20:15] azlon yes if you want the semi permanent fix. google for tutorials on this please [20:15] it used to work using gcom and wvdial [20:15] but now it doesn't [20:15] n8tuser: what is the permanent fix? [20:15] because gcom registration times out [20:15] can someone help me? [20:15] azlon -> please do what i suggested, look for a tutorial on udev [20:15] plz =) [20:15] why avidemux don't let me save audio in mp3 cbr 320k? === yofel_ is now known as yofel [20:16] psam -> what is the problem? you dont get a serial connection? [20:16] okey slart, thx ^_^ [20:16] darkham: Do you have the LAME encoder installed [20:16] yes, [20:16] max cbr is 224 [20:17] anywone knows how to fix a probelm with sound.... ? [20:17] makmum: you're welcome.. you can read the rest of that file if you want to know more about what happens when xorg starts up.. head just prints out the first 10 lines or so [20:17] any 1 know about hard drive recovery?? [20:17] apperently there is sound on the headphones, but not on speakers [20:17] What is wrong with this little 4 line if statement? http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d769735bf [20:17] BBUB-Ebay: what kind of recovery? what has happened to the drive? [20:18] i zeroed out the first 64 sectors of my hard drive [20:18] n8tuser well gcom says that the sim is ready [20:18] and then registration times out [20:18] it used to work before [20:18] but i made some updates [20:19] that might be the problem but i can't find a solution [20:19] psam -> i dont know how to talk to a sim, [20:19] need hellp... pls [20:19] psam but if it was hayes modem command like, maybe you can find out from the manual [20:20] what is hayes modem command ? [20:20] sorry for my ignorance [20:20] Lostinspace_46: tried adding a ; after "/usr/bin/xbindkeys" ? [20:21] Slart: No I haven't. Shouldn't need one as it is the end of statement, right?? [20:22] Slart: I have the same code for bash aliases and it works fine [20:22] Lostinspace_46: I'm not sure about the finer points of the bash syntax.. could you please just try? *puppy eyes* ;) === kb is now known as Guest45964 [20:22] Where in the ubuntu files are the keystroke config files [20:23] Slart OK..brb [20:23] Lostinspace_46: nevermind.. I just tried without the ; it works on my machine [20:23] When I open a link on desktop 2 (on IRC for example) and my web browser is already open on desktop 1, I'd like to have it automatically switch from desktop 2 to desktop 1, rather than having the web browser be brought over to desktop 2. Is there a way to do this? [20:23] Xoop -> thats a mystery for me too, look into xmodmap, dumpkeys commands === LoRez is now known as L [20:24] Lostinspace_46: even you example runs fine when I try it here.. it doesn't work on your machine? [20:26] fccf, Too bad. As of wine 1.1.30, no fix. === prince_j3mmys is now known as prince_jammys [20:27] Slart Hmmm, I thought it should. I tried with the ; and no change. [20:27] When I open a link on desktop 2 (on IRC for example) and my web browser is already open on desktop 1, I'd like to have it automatically switch from desktop 2 to desktop 1, rather than having the web browser be brought over to desktop 2. Is there a way to do this? [20:28] Lostinspace_46: do you get some kind of error when you run it? or it just doesn't do what you want? [20:29] Slart: It just doesn,t start xbindkeys. It worked on my last install. Permissions maybe? [20:31] Slart: I can start it manually, but I shouldn't have to. [20:31] Boot-up fails and I get a message about initramfs giving up on waiting for root device. I also get the message: "ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/f8acb85f-d1d3-4e8a-8cf3-80de0db403e0 does not exist. Dropping to a shell!" I then get dropped into BusyBox/initramfs [20:31] Lostinspace_46: -x shouldn't really need any special permissions.. the file is there? [20:31] is it just me or what? i been experiencing lots of firefox-grayed-out, and can't move until firefox finish loading. [20:32] Slart: It's there. I don't know why that snippet doesn't work. [20:32] meatbun: I get that every time I start firefox.. I'm looking forward to a clean install of karmic === L is now known as LoRez [20:33] Slart, ever since i upgrade to newer ubuntu distro. i thought it's an ubuntu prob. but i guess it's because newer version of firefox sucks. [20:34] meatbun: well.. I wont make up my mind until I've tried it on a fresh install [20:34] Slart, mine is fresh install of ubuntu. [20:34] Lostinspace_46: indeed.. very strange.. [20:35] meatbun: oh.. bad news for me than, I guess =/ [20:35] Umm I just downloaded HPlip and installed it and it installed it to my desktop [20:35] Where should I move it :O [20:36] When I open a link on desktop 2 (on IRC for example) and my web browser is already open on desktop 1, I'd like to have it automatically switch from desktop 2 to desktop 1, rather than having the web browser be brought over to desktop 2. Is there a way to do this? [20:36] Slart: Well, I will go and look it all over again. I will let you know how it turns out [20:36] I am trying to install adobe reader, but when I try to run the binary I get the error message, could anyone help me with this? [20:37] ok its been a while - hello all [20:38] allo Andril [20:38] i need help with speakers... There is sound coming from the headphones, but not from the speakers... anyone knows howto?? [20:38] shawn_: You should probably instead just install hplip from Add/Remove and delete the one you downloaded [20:38] Boot-up fails and I get a message after "Loading, please wait..." that says: "Gave up waiting for root device." It then lists common problems. After that, I get: "ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/f8acb85f-d1d3-4e8a-8cf3-80de0db403e0 does not exist. Dropping to a shell!" [20:38] I then get dropped into BusyBox/initramfs. [20:38] pranav, are the headphones USB or 35mm? [20:39] 35 mm [20:39] unplug the headphones? [20:39] ya, obv... [20:40] but there is no sound [20:40] or do you mean nothing comes out when they ARE unplugged? [20:40] how do I install adobe reader? [20:40] oh [20:40] sounds like a hardware fault === jay is now known as Guest93930 [20:40] no, no sound when they're unplugged [20:40] it just plays on the headphones [20:40] you might have to check the connection between you speakers and your soundcard [20:41] i tried switching the hardware devices as well... din work [20:41] it's working on windows [20:41] oh [20:41] its a compaq c40 laptop] [20:41] strange [20:41] does anyone know which package provides kdesu [20:41] !find kdesu [20:41] Found: kdesudo [20:41] venky80: that one ^ [20:41] agreed... it is wierd... [20:41] any ideas [20:42] i tried alsa as well, settings seem fine [20:42] nope not kdesudo ...kdesu [20:42] I cannot think for the life of me how any driver would be able to distinguish between jack or normal output [20:43] venky80: the file kdesu is installed by the package kdesudo [20:43] does your soundcard detect when a jack is plugged in? [20:43] how do i check that? [20:43] hmm ok..i thought there was a kde package which provides it [20:43] whats the proper way to use rc.local one command per line? [20:43] I can't change the ownership of an external drive, everytime i mount it the owner and group get set back to root [20:43] why may this be? [20:43] i mean whether the jack is detected? [20:44] venky80: yes.. there is a kde package.. that package is called "kdesudo" [20:44] in windows, does it report when a jack is plugged in? like 'jack plugged into audio out port' [20:44] ya [20:44] in windows it shows... [20:44] Slart: sorry iam on arch linux..there is no package called kdesudo [20:44] i think it is kubuntu specific package [20:44] I have just installed ntop, but I get only blank pages when try to enter the webUI [20:45] somehow it is wierd... but i saw the problem on one of the forums as well, however din solve mine [20:45] whats the proper way to use rc.local one command per line? [20:45] venky80: ehm.. asking questions about archlinux in #ubuntu.. [20:45] it may be related to that, pranav [20:45] i tried all of it [20:45] I'm not sure how you'd disable that though, or if you need to disable it. [20:45] Slart: well ubuntu is popular, so thought maybe someone knows [20:45] i had to reinstall ubuntu thanks to some locks it created [20:46] venky80: Also, stop crossposting the same question in multiple channels [20:46] Slart: it is ok...nevermind [20:46] why is it expected that same people hangout in multiple channels...? [20:46] iam confused [20:46] hello all, I can't get gpg key, I always have a timeout error, is there any miror ? here is my command line sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 0CC1223EE2314809 [20:46] which channels are you talking about [20:47] common IRC practice, venky80 [20:47] How do I remove the clutter in "Open with other application", please? [20:47] venky80: For instance if your question is to do with Kubuntu (kdesudo for instance) ask just in the #kubuntu channel, and not in nthere AND in nhere [20:47] ya i have posted the same question in kde archlinux kubuntu and ubuntu....i think it is relevant in all those channels [20:47] I'm having trouble getting amarok to install in 9.04. apt-get cannot find the packages kdebase-runtime, kdelibs5, libplasma3, libqt4-svg, libqt4-webkit, and libqtscrptbindings1 which are required by amarok. Here is my apt sources.list http://pastebin.com/dd7d2c85 [20:48] i agree maybe not ubuntu [20:48] but rest are relevant [20:48] LetsGo, I think you would have to dissociate the file extension from the unwanted programs. I'm not sure how you would go about that. any ideas? [20:48] venky80: It's NOT relevant to #ubuntu, they use the Gnome desktop by default which has no kdesu/kdesudo at all [20:49] genii: got it [20:49] how to view cam in pidgin or other chat software in ubuntu [20:50] deviL_night: I don't think pidgin supports video yet (last I checked it was some kind of policy since chatting doesn't involve video according to them) [20:50] deviL_night: skype has some support for webcams in their latest version, at least.. not sure which one is in the repos [20:51] I start ntop with sudo ntop -i eth0 -4 -d and everything is working fine for a minute or two... after that I get blank pages when visiting some pages in the ntop webUI.. anyone who knows what might be wrong? running jaunty 64 bit... [20:51] Boot-up fails and I get a message after "Loading, please wait..." that says: "Gave up waiting for root device." It then lists common problems. After that, I get: "ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/f8acb85f-d1d3-4e8a-8cf3-80de0db403e0 does not exist. Dropping to a shell!" I then get dropped into BusyBox/initramfs. I've tried mounting my / partition via a LiveUSB OS, but even with "sudo mount /dev/sda6 /media/jaunty -t ext3", I get the message about, === prince_j1mmys is now known as prince_jammys [20:53] AlexInBlack: does the harddrive work? can you access it if you use a live cd? [20:53] well, i don't have a live cd [20:53] i'm just using a live usb distro [20:54] oh the whole hard drive works [20:54] i've got a windows partition and a /home partition that i can still access [20:54] but none of my ubuntu kernels work [20:54] AlexInBlack: hmm.. then I don't really know why it would do this... [20:54] thanks anyways :P [20:55] Slart: thank's for your information [20:55] deviL_night: you're welcome [20:56] Two4: I simply went in .local/share/applications but thanks anyway! [20:56] cool [20:56] my e peener grows, feed it more compliments [20:56] when you're in aptitude, how do you go BACK to the main list when you've selected a package? [20:57] hello all, I can't get gpg key, I always have a timeout error, is there any miror ? here is my command line sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 0CC1223EE2314809 ? nobody knows ? [20:57] clearscreen: if you've opened a separate tab, 'q' [20:57] prince_jammys: figured it out, but thanks! :) [20:57] hi all [20:58] prince_jammys: another quick question, what do the 'A's mean in front of package names.. are they non-essential packages? [20:58] clearscreen: they were installed automatically to fulfill dependencies [20:58] I am a newbie. Ubuntu 9.04 is not recoginizing the USB flash drive. i am runninng ubuntu in Virtualbox [20:58] prince_jammys: aha ok [20:59] i wonder if something wrong with keyserver.ubuntu.com ... can't import ppa key either [20:59] clearscreen: .... and will be removed automatically if you remove the package that caused them to be installed, if nothing else depends on them. [21:00] Can someone help me to get my USB recognized . [21:00] run system janitor to be certain, afterwards, it'll scan for unused packages [21:01] Two4: I use deborphan :P [21:01] irving, you USB controller or USB device? [21:01] me too [21:01] oh [21:01] How do you use templates (templateN) in conky? [21:02] two, 4 my USB device.When i plug it in Ubuntu does not see it. i am running ubuntu 9.04 in virtualbox [21:02] virtualbox gives problems [21:02] I don't know much about virtualbox, either [21:02] prince_jammys: sorry for all the questions, but is there a hotkey to purge a packet from the list? it's getting tedious to CTRL-T, go to Package menu, and hit P [21:02] clearscreen: _ [21:03] clearscreen: go to the help screen .. all the keys are listed there. [21:03] ok thanks -- i'll do more searching [21:03] irving: which version of virtualbox are you running? the OSE version doesn't have usb support, I think [21:03] prince_jammys: will do [21:03] clearscreen: and, yes, that was an underscore. [21:03] ... to purge [21:04] slart, how do i know which version. I downloaded the latest from virtualbox.org [21:04] clearscreen: the minus sign removes. the underscore purges [21:04] alright [21:05] I just read this article on how to recover root password in ubuntu: http://www.ivankristianto.com/2009/09/howto-recover-root-password-in-ubuntu/. If it is so easy for someone to reset my root passoword if they are in front of my machine, does anyone know how I can secure the laptop? Bios password? [21:05] does anyone have a recommendation for a wireless network management tool besides network manager? [21:05] irving: hmm.. hang on [21:06] userone, i am sure you can password protect other areas, such as lilo, [21:06] irving: in the properties for the virtual machine.. do you have settings for usb? [21:07] slart standby [21:07] userone: keeping a machine secure when the bad people have physical access is very very hard... [21:07] JUst bought a MSI K9N2 Diamond and it came with the Soundblaster XFI xtreme, anyone had any luck getting sound out of it yet? === bluebottle is now known as Guest67165 [21:08] I followed this and got it to show up, but no output http://wiki.debian.org/X-Fi [21:08] you should be able to password protect Lilo, so I am guessing grub can be too [21:08] userone, if i have access to your computer i have access to your data [21:08] but you need to stop physical access to the computer [21:08] Slart: yes, that is right [21:08] hi all [21:08] userone: I think the best you can do is keep stuff encrypted.. afaik there's no way to make sure the bad people don't boot from something else or just remove the hard drive altogether [21:08] can anyone help me geting my TV card running on ubuntu? [21:08] although you could encrypt the drive i suppose [21:09] anyone got a network management tool tool recommendation for wireless networking besides network manager? [21:09] cronix, what tv card [21:09] avermedia super 007 [21:09] has anyone know of a bash prompt that actually has the time in it. that changes on the prompt not static from each stop wait. [21:09] tgm: but you cant read any files that have passwords...can you? [21:09] cronix, sorry no idea [21:09] Need help with an xfi xtreme if anyone has a few tips [21:09] kyja: are you sure bash can do that? I'm not so sure [21:09] userone, well that would depend on how you are password protecting it [21:10] np and thanks anyway tgm [21:10] slart, i saw USB devices I get error failed to attach [21:10] userone, if you are talking about permissions, then yea if I have your system i own it [21:10] kyja: PS1='$(date)' [21:10] Slart, thats right I am not sure. seems like that is not part of the interactive shell to be able to do live prompt updates. I was wondering though if I was wrong. [21:10] userone, if you are actually encrypting the files, then it [21:10] i [21:10] bah [21:10] its much harder [21:11] kyja: you MUST single quote it so it gets run when PS1 is printed. [21:11] sorry, on my wifes mini 9 right now [21:11] irving: ok.. you've probably got the "other" version of virtualbox so it should support usb.. are you running virtualbox in windows? [21:11] ok prince_jammys [21:11] Slart: I dont care if someone wipes the hdd for there own use, so long as they cannot read my files (confidential patient medical files) [21:11] exit [21:11] userone, well you need to encrypt the files then [21:11] userone: then encryptions sounds like what you want.. have a look at truecrypt [21:11] slart, yes [21:11] tgm: If i use a password protected file in openoffice, can root read that? [21:12] slart, windows xp pro [21:12] WOuldnt it be best to encrypt the entire disk? [21:12] just installed 9.10 on my eee1008ha, all works great but the touchpad, i cant doubble tab it to click, did I miss some setting somewhere? [21:12] kyja: if you do PS=$(date) or PS1="$(date)" , $(date) expands at the time of assignment and never will change. [21:12] irving: not really sure if it's a windows problem or a virtualbox problem.. don't they have some forums on their site? [21:13] prince_jammys, thats a bummer. that would be one cool bash prompt. [21:13] kyja: you can do it, by single quoting it. [21:13] Slart: tgm: are there any problems with encryption i need to be aware? transfer from 64bit (my laptop) to 32bit (my netbook)? [21:13] bah [21:13] ok I will try it [21:13] anyone have a recommendation for a network management tool for wireless networks besides network manager? [21:13] himuraken: how do i encrypt the entire disk? [21:14] userone, sorry xchat crashed [21:14] userone, so you need to encrypt the files then [21:14] userone, I do it duing the installation. [21:14] userone, because I can easily slave the drive and read unencrypted files [21:14] userone, personally, I don [21:14] userone: I haven't used it that much myself so I wouldn't really know.. I can just offer the standard advice.. make a backup copy of the key somewhere.. without it your files are gone.. as in really gone... [21:14] That way the entire disk is encrypted. If I need to encrypt certain files, I use truecrypt.org [21:15] userone, personally i dont think you should have personal medical files on a laptop anyway [21:15] userone, is this personal medical info, or someone elses? [21:15] userone: have a look at truecrypt and encryptfs.. depending on if you need to encrypt the entire drive or just smaller parts [21:15] tgm_: i agree...but what else can I do between different sites? any ideas? [21:15] kyja: PS1='[\u@\w]$(date +%T) \$ ' [21:15] I like encfs for encrypted directories [21:16] userone, hmm. I would probably keep it in a personal cloud that requires ssh and gpg authentication [21:16] Hello. I'd like to know how I can use a modified xmodmap-file instead of the one that is used as a standard. I need to remap some keys. [21:17] userone, is this for a business? [21:17] is there anything important to know before compiling a kernel for ubuntu or is it the same way you do it for debian? [21:17] tgm_: for work, yes [21:18] !kernel | cronix : Probably not, but check [21:18] cronix : Probably not, but check: The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages [21:18] userone, ok, so you are bound by hippa laws then [21:18] Slart: thanks, i am just looking those up now... [21:18] thanks prince_jammys [21:18] or, a more general question: What would be the best/easiest way to remap some keys? [21:19] userone, im not familiar with those laws much, or with your work. is there a central server that this info is kept? [21:19] hi guys I'm running 64 bit ubuntu interpid [21:19] Can I make somehow gif run in double speed with convert? [21:19] okay...well lets give my issue another shot...anyone know networking and wireless really well in here? [21:20] I have problems with opening .torrent file as a default behaviour [21:20] in firefox [21:20] any idea how to fix that? [21:21] !defaultapp | hipodilski : perhaps ... [21:21] hipodilski : perhaps ...: To change the default application for a filetype in Nautilus, right-click on a file, select Properties -> Open With, and then change the setting. [21:21] hipodilski: In FF3.5 there should be an "Applications"-tab in the prefs-window [21:21] siinz, my connection sucks right now, but have you googled network manager alternative [21:21] hipodilski: I think there you can tell FF what to do with specific filetypes [21:21] tgm_: the central server is most probably well maintained by the IT dept. I am just interested in protecting the few files I need to take home to work on. [21:22] tgm_: not yet...i've heard that may fix the issue but i'd rather not change shit up if i dont have to [21:22] !convert > me [21:22] Sorry, I don't know anything about convert [21:22] hi [21:22] userone, ok, let me explain a few things then. you should be able to make a decision then [21:22] quick question - is there an ncurses xconfig tool in ubuntu installed (default) [21:22] hm [21:22] tgm_: thanks..go ahead [21:22] alright [21:22] my tv card now works again but i dont have sound? [21:23] userone, bios password, this would prevent the system from booting without the password. Bypassed by me puting the HD in another computer [21:23] how do i configure it so it uses the audio stream of the tv card on the pci interface? [21:23] ah but this is interesting for those that are interested http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prompt-HOWTO/clockt.html [21:23] userone, grub password, prevents system from booting/editing grub, also bypassed by using another computer [21:24] I'm on a ntfs drive and all the files looks highlighted in the shell, though i mounted it with a umask=001 [21:24] tgm_ do you perhaps know if theres a tool in ncurses (or ncurses) like to fix xorg [21:24] why is this? [21:24] userone, disk/folder/file encryption, without the password, cant access the files. In theory, bypassed by having a running system, and freezing the ram to gain the password [21:25] How do I get all text in a text file to be on a single line instead of many lines? [21:25] !pastebin | Evelina [21:25] Evelina: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic [21:25] hi [21:25] Evelina: ask questions like this in #bash. tr '\n' ' ' userone, if you are just worried about the privacy of the files, id probably make sure that the folder/file is encrypted. and that the password isnt stored on the computer [21:26] bastidrazor: Not here, in Terminal with text files. [21:26] Evelina: or you could use pastebinit to paste the entire file.. sudo apt-get install pastebinit ..then type pastebinit file [21:26] Evelina: or tr -d '\n' < file to just zap all newlines. [21:26] userone, ie, every time you open the file it needs to promt for the password === annemarie is now known as Guest64724 [21:26] userone, and use a strong password [21:27] userone, it may be slightly annoying, but its better than stolen data [21:27] ichat, no idea [21:27] How to make gif run in double speed? [21:27] ichat, what is wrong with xorg? [21:27] convert that gif [21:28] Mrokii: yes thanks [21:28] Hi, I'm trying to download some podcasts . I tried gpodder but the version in the repos is 0.12.1 and they're working on version 2... [21:28] userone, the idea with that is that if your computer is stolen while asleep or even on, then the data still cannot be accessed [21:28] So now I'm trying amarok, and I've added the podcasts, now ow do I actually listen to them? [21:28] userone, which isnt the case if you encrypt the full disk [21:28] hipodilski: yw [21:29] userone, also keep in mind that If you lose the password that you will not be able to get in either [21:29] tgm_ new system - with gforce fx 5xxx - ubuntu studio, - it asks me for the nv driver, (someversion) ... after rooboot xorg fails [21:29] userone, although IIRC there is a unique key that you get when encrypting it that should be kept in a safe [21:30] ichat, strange, how are you installing the nvidia driver? [21:30] system asked me... [21:30] ichat, also, what version of Ubuntu studio [21:30] with the update manager... [21:30] 9.04 [21:30] hmm [21:30] how do i import keys ment for ubuntu on centos? [21:30] tgm_: thanks a lot for your help!! I only have a few (but important) files that need to be protected so entering a password every time would not be any hassle. Even if I forget the password, the original file is on the database. I just wanted to keep them secure on my laptop. [21:30] s/ment/meant [21:31] so i can do a debmirror [21:31] Hey guys, [21:31] !help [21:31] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [21:31] ichat, that shouldnt happen, have you tried the ubuntu studio support? [21:31] tgm i want a way to change x back to the ubuntu defaults of before nv was installed [21:31] how do I join a channel on irc? [21:31] prince_jammys: When I look at the text in Gedit it doesn't look like being on a single line after tr -d '\n' [21:31] hi. I am getting a Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module": /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/modules/libcanberra-gtk-module.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64 when i run and AIR app. how can i fix this? [21:31] how do i import keys meant for ubuntu on centos so i can do a debmirror [21:31] Evelina: tr doesn't edit a file in place. [21:31] ichat, not sure, but you could try switching the driver to vesa, that should at least give you a graphical interface [21:32] Evelina: tr -d '\n' < file >newfile [21:32] tgm had this before, but that tome i hade a backup bootconfig - so i could install a dif nvdriver still - but now im stuck to terminal [21:32] userone, np [21:32] userone: well, one easy way to do it would be to use the openssl package. [21:32] hello everyone [21:33] userone: openssl bf -salt -in inputfile.txt -out outputfile.txt [21:33] maple: /join #channel_name [21:33] I did this: curl -Ls URL | tr -d '\n' > textfile.txt, why isn't it working? [21:33] prince_jammys: I used tjhat command. [21:33] Hi all. I'm currently trying to construct a live CD using software called reconstructor. At the moment, I'm trying to configure ubuntu to log in automatically, which means that I am editing /etc/gdm/gdm.conf. However, when I burn it to CD, for some inexplicable reason, sometimes the automatic login works and sometimes it DOESNT. How is this possible on a device that is DESINGED to not change? [21:33] Evelina: well, i guarantee that you removed every newline character from curl's output. [21:34] userone: It will prompt you for a passphrase; you can also specify the passphrase with a command-line option, but then of course the passphrase is in your shell history :-) [21:34] ichat, sorry dont know. maybe poke in ubuntu studio. IIRC 9.04 should always get you to a GUI [21:34] Evelina: it may be that it has also carriage returns that Gedit renders as newlines? tr -d '\r\n' [21:34] ichat: ive got a geforce 5200 [21:35] puff, hes talking about encrypting his files on his laptop, although I suppose if he could ssh in and forward X that might work too [21:35] although he would require internet connection everywhere then, and it would be slow [21:35] prince_jammys: Then curl -Ls | tr -d '\n' | grep -o "title.*title" at the end of the pipe would give me the title tags? [21:35] puff: what you are suggesting sounds interesting. so this would allow me to password protect any type of file, and not just openoffice ones? [21:35] id stick with the file encryption [21:35] maybe you can try downloading a driver from the nvidia webiste [21:35] Evelina: if you're lucky :) Parsing html with grep, tr, etc. sucks. [21:35] prince_jammys: Normally the title tags is on different rows, but now grep will work? [21:36] userone, the files would reside on the server, not your laptop [21:36] hi, is ncmpcpp just new since it isn't in the 8.10 repository? [21:36] prince_jammys: What do I have to use? [21:36] <_angelo_> Hello! How to change permantly the dimension of gnome-terminal windows? At startup it is maximazed. I'm using unr 9.04. [21:36] <_angelo_> *permanently [21:36] Guys, [21:36] tgm_: I assumed his laptoip had ubuntu, and hence the openssl package, on it. [21:36] tgm_: i see...good point [21:36] Evelina: To do it right: an html parser. Parsing html with line-based tools like grep is not reliable. [21:36] tgm_: You don't have to use it with an ssh connection, openssl includes the feature to just run a file through the encryption algo. [21:37] prince_jammys: Why isn't it reliable, just wondering? [21:37] puff, it does, but getting the files on the server isnt the entire issue though [21:37] puff, need to make sure the files arent accessable to a thief [21:37] puff: I am using ubuntu on my laptop [21:37] tgm_: I do not understand why you're talking about the server. [21:38] puff, ok, i misunderstood you [21:38] puff, you are talking about encrypting the files with openssl? [21:38] tgm_: Yup. [21:38] puff, ok, sorry, thought you were talking about something else [21:39] why doesn't alt+f2 prompt work like a terminal >_< [21:39] <_angelo_> nobody can help me? :O [21:39] _angelo_: does unr use compiz? [21:39] <_angelo_> nope [21:39] tgm_: No sweat. [21:39] for instance, I have an sh in my home folder. in the terminal i can just type ~/file.sh and it runs it, doesnt work for alt+f2. really annoying [21:39] can someone recommend a home multimedia system like TIVO ? Something that runs on a pc that is connected to a TV and I can use it for pictures/video/music [21:40] puff, userone so yea, you can use openssl for that, but dont use the cmd line switch for your password [21:40] wow [21:40] wow [21:40] _angelo_: i know how to set it in compiz.. :\ [21:40] \! [21:40] puff, userone so yea, you can use openssl for that, but dont use the cmd line switch for your password [21:40] !netsplit [21:40] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [21:40] tgm_: basically you just do $ openssl encrytptiontype -salt -in inputfile.txt -out outputfile.whatever [21:40] <_angelo_> bastidrazor, thanks anyway [21:40] 'x-kent_, myth tgv [21:40] puff: so does that mean I can use it to password protect any file? [21:40] tv [21:40] tgm_: "bf" for blowfish being the safest encryption type to default ot, or so I'mt old. [21:40] userone: Yes. [21:41] userone: Any file, just as the example I just gave. [21:41] userone: It's actually possible to do tricksier things, I've read, but I haven't tried. [21:42] puff, ok, but wouldnt that need to be done before the file is opened? and after [21:42] puff, to unencrypt and encrypt the file [21:42] userone: Also note that this doesn't necessarily protect you against disk recovery, etc, so it's not super-secure. [21:42] puff, of is there any sort of gnome integration that will prompt for a password [21:42] Hi, my webcam works, but its upside down... How can I flip it the right way up? Its this one if it helps: "Bus 001 Device 005: ID 0402:5602 ALi Corp. Video Camera Controller [21:42] " [21:42] lol, verne just went down... and went back up again... [21:43] puff: thats fine..I just wanted to protect the files while they are on my laptop. the original files are in a secure server [21:43] how do you install advanced desktop through the terminal? [21:44] !ccsm | happyLarry [21:44] happyLarry: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz [21:44] netsplit... [21:44] happyLarry: uh, you meant compiz config settings right? [21:44] userone, i believe that if you encrypt the files, you will be deemed taking the necessary precautions against theft in terms of privacy [21:44] userone: I've heard good things about truecrypt, but I haven't explored it yet.

[21:47] on the subject of encryption, I have an encrypted .vol file. wht would I use to mount and decrypt it? [21:47] tgm_: I'm gunshy about full disk encryption, but this tutorial seems to imply that oyu can use truecrypt in a more limited fashion. [21:47] whats all this key server bs when adding software sources? [21:47] _angelo_ from gconf-editor -> desktop\gnome\terminal [21:48] puff: one question about your suggestion to userone : he would still have to delete the *original* file, wouldn't he?

[22:09] oneirosFade: Basically it's about using RSS to publish a series of audio files (at first, video podcasts are picking up) on a regular basis, and the "podcatchers" (podcast downloadng tools, like amarok) download them on a regular basis so you can listen to them whenever.
