[00:00] GSherman: in that case you might find the grub link useful - this is not normal, it seems that the ubuntu boot manager was not installed [00:00] something as basic as a microphone does not work out of the Box, weird [00:00] reya276, nothing is basic about hw support [00:00] mount.ntfs-3g ranomly spikes to 30-50% CPU usage and stays there until I reboot. I only have one partition currently mounted using ntfs-3g, and it keeps using that much CPU even after I unmount the partition. [00:00] that grub thing looks like japanese to me [00:01] reya276: Well, open a terminal and write alsamixer [00:01] GSherman, read it, the text in english [00:01] Question about a volume hotkey. Right now my volume hotkeys (Fn + F11/F12) control the 'HDA Intel Capture'. How do I change it so it controls the Alsa mixer instead? Does anybody have an idea? [00:01] joaopinto: nah dude this is a microphone man, not something crazy plus my souncard works great and that jack is attached to the soundcard [00:01] reya276: there something will say either "line" or "something with "mic", and set to 1 [00:01] Oh...oh dear. Anyway. I'm trying to install Ubuntu onto an external HD under FireWire 800. [00:02] GSherman: that is a general trouble shooting guide, if you just follow it it should help (you do not need to understand exactly what it is doing) [00:02] i installed packe vtun, isnt this tun/tap ? [00:02] thank you. i will attempt it [00:02] Only way to get it to access said HD under the installer is either "Manual partition specification" or dual boot, for some reason,a nd it is also going at an incredibly slow speed. [00:02] GSherman: as I said this is not normal - in most cases the installer should just work [00:03] .... [00:03] How can I COMPLETLY remove kdev. [00:03] i am recreating my USB drive [00:03] hi [00:03] !hi | Geronimo [00:03] Geronimo: 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! [00:04] delly: I don't see any line in on mic [00:04] anybody know how I can lock the screen on X when I close the lid on my laptop? [00:04] reya276: what is set to 0 then? [00:04] Can someone answer my question? [00:04] Geronimo: there is an option for it in powermanagment [00:04] ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ [00:04] delly: there is nothing set to zero [00:05] reya276: what is set to 1 then? [00:05] Uh. Forgive me, I'm a bit of a noob even with the filesystem. What's a recommendable mount point? [00:05] Just /? [00:05] Blackbird: /media [00:05] twright: there is not [00:05] Hey all, Im looking for a _simple_ .pls player for streaming mp3s, I dont want visualization I just want to load a .pls file and hear it and have some simple buttons (like iTunes Mini Mode). XMMS2 doesnt work anymore in ubuntu it keeps asking for a server etc... its not like the old winamp clone, what should I do? [00:05] I...do not get that option. [00:06] it says 'blank screen'/suspend/shutdown/hibernate/do nothing. [00:06] Blackbird : what are you using, and what are you doing? :P [00:06] blank screen does not lock the screen. [00:06] Installing Ubuntu from the CD [00:06] And trying to install onto an external HD [00:06] Only way to do a standalone is by manually creating a new EXT3 parition [00:06] rkvirani: Anything wrong with VLC? [00:06] Geronimo: in that case you need to tell it to sleep at the same time (it will save power anyway) - if you really want this then submit a bug and ask for it [00:06] delly: I literally have a bunch of what it looks like a graph with master, headphone, pcm, front, surround, center, LFE, side [00:06] ooh I could try that [00:07] So it gives me: /, /boot, /home, /tmp, /usr, /var, /srv, /opt and /usr/local [00:07] Which is recommendable, is what I'm asking? [00:07] Blackbird: create a / on 5-12 gb and a /home with the rest. Also a swap must be made with amount equal to your ram(if you want to be able to hibirnate) [00:07] 69 megs! [00:07] bloated [00:07] delly: there are no text lines, when I typed in alsamixer I got literally a mixer [00:07] Its almost as bad as itunes [00:07] I...can't really do that. It doesn't permit me anything less than 91 GB. [00:08] reya276: it is indeed a mizer : [00:08] I haven't the slightest clue why. [00:08] reya276: try to go to the far right using the direction keys on the keyboard [00:08] rebooting Ubuntu after changing the files in the guide http://translate.google.com/translate?prev=hp&hl=en&js=y&u=http%3A%2F%2Fmamalibre.eshost.com.ar%2F%3Fq%3Dnode%2F128&sl=auto&tl=en&history_state0= [00:08] RedChops, might be super bloated but it works! [00:09] reya276: i had to set IEC958 to 1 to get my plugged in Mic to behave like i wanted it to [00:09] So, 2 GB swap file, 5 or so GB on /, and however much I want in /home. [00:09] Blackbird: that would indeed do the trick [00:09] rkvirani: Yeah, it's just bloated because it comes with support for about every codec out there ha [00:09] delly: ok how do I set that to one [00:10] delly: Bad, then. Because I cannot do that. [00:10] It really does not allow me to input less than 91754 MB as partition size. [00:11] reya276: you just use the direction keys on the keyboard and up and down is adjusting the volum. Set anything that got either some strange names or the word "in" or "mic" in them to high values [00:11] Blackbird: 9.10 installation? [00:11] Mhm. [00:12] Blackbird: you might want to create the partitions in gparted first then just select them to install to [00:12] That'd be a good idea. [00:12] is there a way to get the configuration of my actual kernel and just add the tun/tap module? [00:12] delly: that is not working for IEC958, but it work for all others [00:12] Let me see if I didn't accidentally reformat the whole disk [00:12] I have some...really valuable savefiles there. [00:12] RedChops, thanks, I have used VLC on windows and OSX but I forgot about linux :D [00:12] reya276: so do the mic behave now or?

[00:12] 9.04, sorry. [00:13] it seems like it [00:13] Blackbird: ok, did you have free space to begin with on the hardisk? [00:13] 951.3 GB. [00:13] Blackbird: as in not used? [00:13] Well, 846 GB. [00:13] Enough. [00:13] !cn | victimofgcd [00:13] victimofgcd: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [00:14] Blackbird: was that in any file system or just unformated space? [00:14] Formatted space. [00:14] Unfortunately. [00:14] delly: yes it seems like, thanks. But this should have been enabled by default. Not complaining I'm just saying is just common sense [00:14] So you want me to make an ext3 partition taking up whatever I want, and then make the smaller bits you mentioned. [00:14] Alright, I'll get gparted. [00:15] Blackbird: ok, then "shrink" the partition that is formated to a reasonable bit(you should kind of have the option). [00:15] reya276: well, welcome to the club [00:15] Typically how good are admins with LPIC-2? [00:15] I hope I can shrink an NTFS partition. If not this is rather awkward. [00:16] delly: lol, I guess we can forget about mass adoption with issues like these. Thanks I appreciate it. [00:16] Blackbird: did you have a slider when you could install? === carpediem1 is now known as carpediem [00:16] Blackbird: if it is an option I suggest you use ext4 [00:16] I think I did, though I prefer the more numerical manual non-slider since the installer really hates my trackpad. [00:17] does anyone in #ubuntu provide help for edgy anymore or am i in the dark if i happen to run into any problems on my laptop? [00:18] Techie, isnt edgy really old [00:18] I could help... but ... [00:18] but... I really dont do alot of gui stuff in linux... :D [00:18] rkvirani, yes it is old but its the only version that i can get going, anything later give me huge graphical errors [00:19] techie, did you try fireing them up in graphics safe mode? [00:19] What kind of laptop? [00:20] rkvirani, PowerBook G4 mac [00:20] techie: if you want to ask questions some people should know but it is no longer supported [00:20] how can it happen that i dont hav tun/tap [00:21] techie, hehe [00:21] hey [00:21] I think there are some community PPC ports for the more recent versions of ubuntu [00:21] techie: I'm running 9.04 on my PowerBook G4 [00:21] im having trouble with xen on ubuntu 9.04 on a amd sempron [00:21] !hi | AshyIsMe [00:21] AshyIsMe: Hi!

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [00:22] techie: sure [00:22] rkvirani, i would prefer to [00:22] the command $ xm -help returns an error: "internal error: could not obtain handle on privileged command interface" [00:22] squircle, are you using the community port? [00:22] "no such file or directory" [00:22] yes [00:22] rkvirani: yes [00:23] How do I remove an application? [00:23] Darkedge: either use synaptics, or sudo apt-get remove in terminal [00:24] Darkedge: sudo apt-get remove *applications* [00:24] squircle cool [00:24] k [00:24] Darkedge: or you could just use add/remove programs - basically it is the same as how you install them [00:26] Where's the stnaptics package manager? [00:26] Okay, I'm at GParted, and...it would seem I cannot resize the partition. [00:26] Blackbird: you might need to unmount it first [00:27] Oh, just one thing. I'm running a macbookpro, and as such I have no right-click. Is there any way to do that by a key combination? [00:27] Who's seen goog11e today? [00:27] I think I screwed up my fstab or somethin [00:28] why is it with samba I cannot create my own user named guest? [00:28] ..... [00:28] GodfatherofEire: please write this into a terminal and post the link it gives: "sudo apt-get install pastebinit && cat /etc/fstab | pastebinit" [00:28] ...Unable to unmount. [00:29] delly, I'm not sure if its fstab or not though [00:29] Blackbird: I'm confused.. you have a macbookpro with ntfs on it? [00:29] GodfatherofEire: then what is the problem?? [00:29] All I know is that Ubuntu isnt booting with the default kernel and I get brought to an initramfs prompt [00:29] scunizi: I dualboot so I can actually get some games running, put NTFS on an external HD [00:29] delly: you can use pastebinit to paste the file.. pastebinit /etc/fstab [00:30] The internal is, obv., HFS+. Point its, it won't let me unmount it. [00:30] bastidrazor: i am addicted to pilelining and unneeed complex comman ds [00:30] plhfcnb [00:30] ку [00:30] "Error org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.InterfaceLocked [00:30] " [00:30] Blackbird: unplug the HD? [00:31] And GNUsound is also crashing the system every time I try to run it. [00:31] ...Isn't that pointless? [00:31] delly: then it would be hard to resize the partitions on it. [00:31] Yeah, exactly. [00:31] Blackbird: Well, what about if we say "for the kicks of it"? :P [00:32] scunizi: i thought he was going to format the HD inside the computer? [00:32] Is there something like kdev. but designed for GNOME? [00:32] An external one through FireWire800. I expect switching to USB will change absolutely nothing. [00:32] So... [00:32] http://pastebin.com/m7604fa93 that's unplugging it and back in on 3 different usb ports. [00:33] I...only have one FireWire port, but I can certainly switch formats and see if that does anything. [00:33] Blackbird: ok, so you are going to install Ubuntu on the external HD? [00:33] Yes. [00:33] ok [00:33] then DON'T remove it :P [00:33] The internal one is a clusterfuck currently, don't want to bother with that. [00:34] Then....? [00:34] Blackbird: this is a tough one.. once you unmount an external drive the system doesn't see it any more, I think, because of the way the subsystem mounts and unmounts external devices.. [00:34] Blackbird: did you umount the mount point or the device....it usually works better to use umount /dev/"your device" [00:34] Blackbird: when the installer gets to where it can be slided and just auto install.... slide it so ubuntu gets the amount of space you want it to have :P [00:35] Blackbird: perhaps a way around it would be to remove the drive and connect it internally.. but that would also be problemmatic with a laptop [00:35] ...Yes, but first I need to create an EXT3 partition, delly. [00:35] I can't really do it from there. [00:35] I tried. Failed. [00:35] Blackbird: :/ [00:35] Wait. [00:35] I think... [00:35] Hm. [00:35] hi all [00:35] Blackbird: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:35] Gparted doesn't seem to be doing much. [00:35] anybody has an idea why build-essential gives me that when trying to install on jaunty ? [00:36] build-essential: Depends: g++ (>= 4:4.3.1) but it is not going to be installed [00:36] hi [00:36] ^^^ [00:36] hi [00:36] Last time I saw, the Mac OS X install disk let me do EXT 3 partitions and resize NTFS ones. [00:36] hey ShapeShifter499 [00:36] I'll try that, and then see if I can install. === oxocoffee is now known as Guest71534 [00:36] sivang: have you done apt-get update recently? [00:36] cowbud: just before the install attempt [00:36] sivang: try sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [00:36] do you have the experimental changes enabled? [00:37] ah sorry for the noise [00:37] I found the problem [00:37] I have intermixed jaunty and interpid sources [00:37] Blackbird good luck [00:37] dun dun dun [00:37] * sivang slaps himself and goes to stand in the corent [00:37] corent [00:37] corner, eve [00:37] even [00:37] haha [00:37] sivang: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:37] god floodbot is annoying [00:37] FloodBot1: I apologize [00:37] FloodBot1: I got angry at the keyboard [00:38] hey people who write these bots, make them use privmsg instead of flooding the channel with their lame messages to everyone [00:38] thanks dudes, nontheless [00:38] delly: Thank you, I'm going to need it. [00:38] * sivang updates [00:38] I'd repartition the internal, but right now I still have a good part of my family that would destroy me if I deleted Mac OS X, and I...don't want to fall out of favour with them. [00:39] * sivang notes build-essential installs flawlessly now [00:39] I have a question, in the device manager I have installed it shows that there is something named camera hooked to /dev/fuse what is this? I'm just wondering because I have a built in web cam on my computer that doesn't work and I have to send it in but really can't because I need the computer for school, taking notes, doing assignments, etc. [00:39] Well............ then i guess shrink the HD by 200gb and intall <3 [00:39] Mhm. I'll try. [00:39] Any ideas why GNUsound keeps restarting the shell? [00:40] ShapeShifter499: is there any key on the keyboard for turning the camera on/off? Because i guess its the camera in question. [00:41] no there is no such key or key combo [00:41] Guys, [00:41] I don't think [00:41] The package manager says kdev. isn't installed, but it's still on the apps menu [00:41] ShapeShifter499: so there is no F* button with a camera of sorts on? [00:41] http://img42.imageshack.us/img42/1662/screenshotgg.png [00:42] uh.... I only know battery, sound, light, touchpad, vga output, and help [00:43] there is one symbol on f2 I'm not sure of [00:43] Can I just have a FAT partition that I can then reformat as EXT3 with the ubuntu installer? [00:43] ...... [00:44] Because I remembered wrong. [00:44] What am I doing wrong? [00:44] ........ [00:44] Darkedge: Might want to try logging out/logging back in. [00:45] ok [00:46] ShapeShifter499: then you might be one of the few unlucky with a webcam that lacks drivers, its more than rare. [00:47] Well. Turns out I have to reformat the whole disk [00:47] To even be able to resize [00:47] ........ [00:47] darkedge: Nothing? [00:47] *sighs* [00:47] :( [00:47] Nup still there [00:47] Volume Scheme I set for the disk does not permit me to have partitions. [00:47] delly: I just got it back from the acer repair center, and before I sent it in *IT WORKED* with ubuntu 9.04 jaunty [00:47] Oh my. This will take a while. [00:48] darkedge: Have you done a search in synaptic? It might be that e.g. you've got a different version installed. [00:48] ShapeShifter499: does the camera have a light or something? [00:48] delly: nope [00:48] does anybody use gadmin samba? [00:48] I checked, [00:48] Every now and then when i boot up my display defaults to 1024x768.

[01:09] karan: if you have a Windows CD/DVD you could Virtual machien it, and then use your Zune in your VM I expect [01:09] Should work, I believe. [01:09] my graphics card is pretty old [01:09] has anybody used gadmin samba [01:09] I have an hp compaq cq6-215dx laptop with an atheros wireless card. I had to reinstall 9.04 on it and I did have it working before, but I don't remember how? [01:10] karan: ok that probably won't really matter as such for a VM, the amount of RAM you have will though [01:10] karan: also, if Rhythmbox doesnt recognize the Zune, make sure that the MTP protocols are enabled. [01:10] how do i enable the?

Anybody use gadmin samba? thx [01:23] Alright. So, what would be better? To leave the space I intend to turn into an EXT3 partition as pure free space, or create a dummy FAT partition? [01:24] Blackbird: Free space, methinks. [01:24] Using OpenDNS, I'm unable to visit a website due to the name servers failing. Can anyone help? [01:24] I can connect to the website using a proxy but not with OpenDNS. [01:25] 70/30 scheme. Once I'm done with that and create one big 300 GB EXT3 partition, I set 2 GB of that as swapfile, 5 GB on /home, and the rest in / [01:25] Yes? [01:26] It's quiet. Too quiet. [01:26] Blackbird, 293gig / but only 5gig /home ? [01:26] Er. I was meaning to ask how much to set in home, actually. [01:26] Blackbird: / needs to be 10 or so [01:26] Using OpenDNS, I'm unable to visit a website due to the name servers failing. Can anyone help? [01:26] At least, or? [01:27] Blackbird: at least 10GB for / [01:27] And if I have 300 GB in /, how much would I need in /home? [01:27] 250 === W_McL_ is now known as W_McL [01:28] ...Look. I have a 300 GB partition. I dedicate 2 GB to swap file. How much in / and /home? That's all I'm asking. [01:28] I fucked up my /etc/apache2 directory and I need the default one back, how do i do that? I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but that didn't work [01:29] Lym: purge and install the package responsible for it (hint: dpkg -S) [01:29] ok I removed the ath5k drivers with 'modprobe -r ath5k and now when I type 'insmod ath9k' it gives me the error 'no such file or directory'? [01:30] Blackbird: i would use 15GB for / and the rest in /home .. you never know how many applications you'll decide to install .. i keep a 15GB / on all my ubuntu installs [01:31] Oh, so...Sorry, I was reading it backwards [01:31] I was thinking that /home was the apps folder and / the rest; messed up big time. [01:31] hm [01:31] I need to restart my computer and I'm updating to 8.04. That's annoying. [01:31] 9.04* [01:32] Blackbird: /home is where the settings for the programs go.. your personal settings [01:32] exactly. [01:32] Blackbird: /home is where personal data and some config files live [01:32] jrib, it says its libapachemod-php5 but I already removed it, how do you purge it? [01:32] I got them messed up. I'm kind of new at this. Well, now to create an EXT3 partition with GParted, then see if I can install... [01:33] crap [01:33] Yeah, I messed up somethin with my boot config [01:34] GodfatherofEire: pastebin your menu.lst [01:35] its located in /boot/grub/menu.lst [01:35] My friend just installed ubuntu, is there a tar I can make of my software sources and ppa keys to put on his machine.

[01:37] it does however work on a different kernel [01:37] chowder, yes [01:37] GodfatherofEire: why not just use that other kernel? [01:38] chowder: 2.6.28-3-rt is the one that works, I'm guessing thats a tad outdated though? [01:38] i can't access my self outside my home network , think might be iptabels could someone have a look though them http://pastebin.com/m7b3e3705 ? [01:38] aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I am trying to insert the ath9k driver module and it is not working!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [01:38] rex~ [01:38] GodfatherofEire: that's not that old [01:39] GodfatherofEire: try posting on the forums or google "udevadm trigger not permitted while udev is unconfigured" [01:39] hello word [01:39] i have a quad core machine and top's CPU column for the top 10 processes only add up to < 30%. so it's 30%/400% as the column isn't normalised. however, htop's indicator for each core is: 61%,41%,5%,9% [01:39] not that old, but there have been quite a few kernel updates since then? [01:39] *. [01:39] and according to system monitor, it's about 30%/100% [01:39] why the discrepancy?

[01:42] task hid2hci:2518 blocked for more than 120 secs [01:42] GodfatherofEire: you can find out all you need to know about the linux kernel at kernel.org [01:45] hi, i have a partioning question, i am migrating over from Fedora (will do a clean install) but have a LVM setup on Fedora an would like to keep it on my Ubuntu install, formatting all the partitions fresh except one (with a bunch of media files on it), how do i do this ? [01:46] Leebier: If you use the alternate install CD, you can keep all your LVM configuration [01:46] Leebier: lvm is only available on the "alternate" install cd.. not the desktop cd [01:46] !lvm | Leebier [01:46] Leebier: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [01:47] ah, i think i skimmed over the difference between the two CDs, a poor choice it seems :) [01:48] let me back up a sec, is there a better/easier way to keep my media "partition"? [01:48] Anyone know of a console bible study app? [01:48] what is the corrct syntax for inserting a module into the kernel in 9.04 [01:48] Leebier: not really [01:48] Leebier: you can keep any partition as long as it doesn't have any special config files in it that might confuse Ubuntu [01:48] neodragon: sudo modprobe module [01:48] Leebier: Gparted [01:49] chowder, the issue is that the ubuntu installer is seeing the entier drive as one partition [01:49] OMG, Yay!! Finnally fullscreen youtube! I love you guys, thank you ubuntu devs! [01:49] oooh, because of the LVM thing? [01:49] Leebier and chowder, i recommend PartedMagic, an "updated GParted" which actually supports LVM and more filesystems [01:49] but Leebier, the easiest way to do it is just booting the alternate CD, and selecting manual partitioning [01:49] that's how I did it [01:50] hi, can someone tell me why the packages linux-backports-modules-karmic linux-backports-modules-karmic-generic are kept back when upgrading ? [01:50] squircle: THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! : ) [01:50] MindSpark: are you upgrading to karmic? [01:50] no problem neodragon [01:50] squircle: that worked [01:50] squircle, I've upgraded some time ago already, but I need to upgrade these packages [01:51] I know what I had to do I just could not seem to get the syntax right, thanks alot [01:51] Is there a way to customize the notifications in Jaunty? [01:51] MindSpark: well, the backports aren't installed (or used) unless you need them, so my guess is just that your computer doesn't need the kernel backports [01:51] MindSpark: most don't. [01:52] squircle, I am running an eee which needs the wlan module. I did this on jaunty, and now I need this on karmic to get wifi [01:53] squircle: is there anything I have to do to make it load that module at boot from now on? [01:54] hey room [01:54] MindSpark: try sudo apt-get -f upgrade [01:54] mount.ntfs-3g ranomly spikes to 30-50% CPU usage and stays there until I reboot. I only have one partition currently mounted using ntfs-3g, and it keeps using that much CPU even after I unmount the partition. How do I prevent ntfs-3g from doing this to me? [01:54] Oh god. Did I do something wrong? After using some 4 GB for swap file, the type of the partition changeds to "swap", and now it takes an eternity to do any further partitions.

[01:55] Because right now, I definitely get nothingness and despair [01:56] Devrethman, it should give you a console, means something is wrong if it doesn't [01:56] Like [01:56] I screwed up Xorg.conf a bit ago [01:56] Devrethman, delete Xorg.conf and make a new one if it is messed up [01:56] Now it's working apparently, I restored the default xorg.conf. [01:56] Devrethman: Ctrl + Alt +F1 doesn't give you a console? [01:56] thanks for all the responses, but i'm going to admit i'm confused, what is the difference between the regular and the alternate CDs (assuming for the moment I want to actually install it, so I don't want to Live CD, or am i missing some cool idea of the LiveCD?) [01:56] It does now, but it didn't when it was in low-graphics mode. [01:57] :) Afternoon all [01:57] Night, you. [01:57] and the reason it was messed up was cause I spelled "driver" wrong. That's much easier to fix with nano. [01:57] Leebier, the LiveCD includes the installer [01:57] neodragon: just add the module to the end of /etc/modules [01:57] but I couldn't get to a console.

[01:58] Uh...huh. So I just did a 15 GB partition for /, thus making the rest of it free space. So I mount the rest in /home (along with some 4ish GB of swap space), and set the partition type as "Primary", yes? [01:59] Squircle: It's supposed to kill X, but it seems to do nothing. I was wondering if it's cause macs have the backspace laveled as "delete" and are different somehow. [01:59] squircle, a couple of hours ago [01:59] max10: you know Steve Holy? [01:59] Devrethman: no, the key is still the same just the label is different; it's still "backspace" === cllaudyu is now known as shaytan [01:59] squircle: That's what I figured.

[02:01] i'm xchat 0.26.1 [02:01] inx-live: Yeah, or so says my sources.lst [02:01] So, can I have an answer? I already mounted 15 gigs in /, and now I mount the rest of the partition in /home. Partition type should be Primary, yes? [02:01] MindSpark: what happens if you do 'sudo aptitude safe-upgrade'? [02:01] MindSpark: does it show packages to be upgraded? [02:02] Blackbird: ideally, yes. [02:02] Blackbird: should be [02:02] squircle, The following packages have been kept back: [02:02] linux-backports-modules-karmic linux-backports-modules-karmic-generic [02:02] Good. Now I set 4 GB-ish as swap file, and I can bloody install already. [02:02] 0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 2 not upgraded. [02:02] when i ask a file,start the download, but it dont move to 0% [02:02] RickZilla, http://paste.ubuntu.com/279183/ [02:02] save that in your bin directory [02:02] brb, reboot [02:03] and you'll be able to add every key by runing woxe-addkey ERF234R in the console (where the weird code is the key) [02:03] MindSpark: don't actually say "yes", but what happens if you do 'sudo aptitude dist-upgrade'? [02:03] RickZilla, note that the script needs no extension and has to be stored under ~/bin/woxe-addkey [02:04] squircle, it looks like the packages are somehow broken [02:04] and it seems like aptitude is better than apt-get at resolving these issues [02:04] MindSpark: ideally, you want to use aptitude as much as possible instead of apt-get [02:04] I am trying out aptitude install [02:04] and it sort of found out that the packages need to be reinstalled [02:05] Wolter, thanks...I probably need to read up how to do that. I was under the impression I could just manually install a key file from Software Sources itself [02:05] RickZilla, ok, however you prefer [02:05] MindSpark: may i PM you to prevent the channel from being flooded?

[02:16] What is a good FTP program? [02:16] SAMBA ISSUE - I have 4 samba accounts. They were working fine. I tried out this gui app to manage samba called gadmin-samba. After that, my account stopped working and I have no idea why. I decided to uninstall gadmin-samba and I pulled my backup smb.conf from last month which worked fine. As expected, all of the users could get in - but me. Whenever I try to connect, it just keeps prompting me for my lgoin credentials. My account fl [02:16] at out doesnt work. I added a bogus account with my exact same permissions and it worked - yet mine doesnt. I deleted it, readded, changed password, rebooted 84392 times. WTF happened? [02:16] I like the ftp client known as "ftp" [02:17] Anyone know if of a smaller alternative than bind9 to create a dns server just for a local network?

[02:23] sudo apt-get install filezilla = win [02:23] magikid: by default everything /home and /usr and all that goes into / [02:23] magikid: and a swap is made as well [02:23] Prohibited: sudo aptitude install filezilla = more win [02:23] difference being? [02:23] zebastian: I don't think there is one [02:23] sebsebseb: unless I set them up as different partitions mounted at boot [02:23] i'm having problems getting my motion eye webcam on my vaio laptop working correctly, anyone have any experience?

[02:25] Prohibited: just in general, aptitude has better dependency resolution and stuff [02:25] Roasted: don't mock us :( [02:25] Because I really, really needed to get the installer to pick my external, and, well. [02:26] squircle - var log samba is a directory. How can I cat it to pastebin?? [02:26] Did I have to create partitions to mount in /usr, /var, etc., or are those created when doing a mountpoint in home? [02:26] for Filezilla, can you change the colour of the text? It is in a really light colour which is hard to read [02:26] Blackbird: That sounds like it should come out ok. [02:26] I have no idea what I'm doing. [02:26] k, ubuntu is switching to using upstart scripts in karmic, the only thing i can't figure out is - how do i disable services? i'm trying to prevent network-manager from running by default, and i preferably do not want to edit an /etc/init script. Any suggestions? [02:26] I'll restart and see if I can get it to run. [02:27] sorry Roasted, it should be /var/log/samba/log.smbd [02:27] Anyway... rebooting after installing 9.04 [02:27] blackbird: All you actually need is to have a / partition and a swap space [02:27] the rest is just for organization. [02:27] Okay. I cannot boot into Ubuntu.

[02:33] Wondering if I should use 9.04... or 8.04 LTS... for a server. [02:33] shawn_: ebay [02:33] http://pastebin.com/m7604fa93 that's unplugging it and back in on 3 different usb ports. [02:34] installed NVIDIA graphics drivers [02:34] rebooting again :P [02:34] Anyone have an opinion on that? [02:34] The2morrowMan: For a server I personally run Debian [02:35] The2morrowMan: depends. on my VPS (which i don't have physical access to), i run 8.04, just so i don't have do dist-upgrade as often. for my local file server, i run 9.04, because i love bleeding-edge. [02:36] does anyone know how can I see the contennt of a kwallet in gnome [02:36] fer what is kwallet for? [02:36] <_Space_Case_> i have a problem i think its firefox cookies? i try to log on to myspace get connection reset error while waiting on secure.myspace.com .. i delete all the cookies then try to conect again. then it times out on waiting on home.myspace.com anybody ever have any issues like that? [02:36] magikid, Why Debian? Just curious as to your thoughts. [02:36] is like gnome-keyring i think [02:36] fer: you can just run kwallet, it works in GNOME. 99.9% of KDE apps will work in GNOME [02:36] is the place were you put your passwords in kde [02:36] clear [02:37] k, having some problems with per-user pulseaudio, doesn't work very well under karmic [02:37] it seems to be configured for system wide by default [02:37] i want to import this info to gnome [02:37] hello all [02:37] hey jack lalane [02:37] !hi | powerjuce [02:37] powerjuce: 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! [02:37] i was wondering is a way to record the line into audacity, or any recording program [02:38] ok thanks squircle [02:38] squircle - no idea? [02:38] fer: There's really no where to import the data to in gnome by default. [02:38] powerjuce: I know you can do it on Audacity on Windows, but i dunno on linux [02:38] Roasted: sorry, did you paste the link? [02:38] powerjuce, of course there is, try Applications > Sound & Video > Sound Recorder [02:38] ah ook [02:38] Roasted: it must've totally passed me; sorry [02:38] squircle - http://paste.ubuntu.com/279192/ [02:38] fer: like squircle said, you can just install kwallet in gnome [02:39] Wolter i tried that it does not work [02:39] i have to investigate [02:39] Roasted: found it. [02:39] powerjuce, well you have to do some adjustments sometimes... what computer are you using? [02:39] ok, but i m trying to not use it anymore [02:39] gnome/keyrings is good? [02:40] fer, it suits my needs [02:40] powerjuce if you have a stereo mic input you could try recording from that. [02:40] squircle - you found the problem? [02:40] Roasted: i found the link :) [02:40] ok, wolter [02:40] wolter i am using ubuntu [02:40] Roasted: can you also paste your log.? [02:40] and what is the best chat program in gnome? [02:40] powerjuce, yeah but what computer? [02:41] x-chat? [02:41] fer, pidgin [02:41] it is a hp pavilion a1712n [02:41] fer, xchat is only irc [02:41] fer: xchat for irc [02:41] can i use pidgin for IRC? [02:41] powerjuce, did you google it already? [02:41] yea, i have been on google all night [02:41] fer, you can, but I would use xchat for irc [02:41] fer: you can but xchat is a lot more customizable for irc [02:41] yeah... ubuntu has a broken driver as one of their packages [02:41] powerjuce, haha === Updated is now known as Fer [02:41] :D [02:42] I had to run the ubuntu recovery thing to fix it [02:42] <_Space_Case_> i have a problem i think its firefox cookies? i try to log on to myspace get connection reset error while waiting on secure.myspace.com .. i delete all the cookies then try to connect again. then it times out on waiting on home.myspace.com anybody ever have any issues like that? [02:42] Leebier, the LiveCD includes the installer [02:42] squircle - where would it be located at? [02:42] mount.ntfs-3g ranomly spikes to 30-50% CPU usage and stays there until I reboot. I only have one partition currently mounted using ntfs-3g, and it keeps using that much CPU even after I unmount the partition. How do I prevent ntfs-3g from doing this to me? [02:42] fer: although for the commandline, I do like bitchx [02:42] Roasted: same directory; /var/log/samba/log. [02:42] <_Space_Case_> i dont think its the network cause i can conect with my windoze computer [02:42] xchat is the best? [02:42] !best [02:42] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [02:43] squircle - I'm trying that with log.jason and it says no share name... [02:43] wow [02:43] Roasted: is your share called jason? [02:43] !money [02:43] Sorry, I don't know anything about money [02:43] squircle - yes [02:43] BestBot rocks! I had no idea that was there. [02:44] powerjuce, i had to do this in my file: File > Open Volume Control > Options > Digital Input Source > Digital Mic 1 [02:44] squircle - my samba share is my home directory, every one elses share is on another SATA drive in my system [02:44] I guess ubottu doesn't know anything about money because Ubuntu is free. [02:44] Wolter, i tried everything, but sound recorder refuses to record the line in [02:44] <_Space_Case_> !jesus [02:44] Sorry, I don't know anything about jesus [02:44] and hes not religious [02:44] lol [02:44] Uh. I installed rEFIt on my Mac OS X volume and it doesn't come up when I boot. [02:45] Did I do something wrong? [02:45] According to the page it should be fine... [02:45] Roasted: can you paste your smb.conf? [02:45] rEFIt Blackbird ? [02:45] Blackbird: did you bless rEFIt? [02:45] squircle - http://paste.ubuntu.com/279201/ [02:45] hi. what is the name of kubuntu's updates notifier applet? [02:46] No. I did not bless it. [02:46] Time for a reboot. Just installed Jaunty! [02:46] My computer mouse froze and when I ran [top] it had iftop at 96-100%. Could this be from me opening up a port? [02:46] It helps to manually install rEFIt [02:47] Blackbird: boot into OS X and open the terminal. go to /efi/refit and run enable-always.sh [02:47] Roasted: so, just to get the original problem down again, everyone else can access it, but you can't? [02:47] Wolter anything i can do? [02:47] squircle - yes. Everybody's account is fine, but mine. [02:48] squircle - When I fired up gadmin-samba, I was creating a test directory for me to get to know the program, and I remember making an adjustment with me being able to access that directory. I ended up deleting it and uninstalling the program cause it seemed cumbersome, but osmehow it still messed things up for me connectiong to my home directory too. [02:48] squircle - I just always thought that as long as your smb.conf was okay and you have samba users added, NOTHING could go wrong. But damn, for real? I just dont get how that smb.conf appears to be fine (to me) and yet I have mixed results. [02:49] powerjuce, couldn't find anything [02:49] Roasted: try running 'sudo smbpasswd -x jason' and 'smbpasswd -a jason' [02:50] squircle - I'll try it again, but I did. I even went as far as to remove jason as a user, reboot, re-add as a user, reboot, and then try to connect again and ti failed. [02:50] Roasted: because i can see absolutely no reason why you can't access it... your smb.conf is fine, your logs check out [02:50] i just downloaded swiftweasel from here http://sourceforge.net/projects/swiftweasel/ and then installed it, it is in usr/local/swiftweasel3 but the problem is i can't set a launcher on the avant dock for some reason [02:50] Roasted: all I could image is a permissions or user issue [02:50] I...cannot run it. [02:50] squircle - see why Im confused now? [02:50] Roasted: i most certainly do :) [02:50] :| [02:51] fatal error with WoW [02:51] if i go to the menu and then internet and then swiftweasel it loads no problem [02:51] ns STATUS magnesium [02:51] hi, nm-applet says "device not ready" for my asus eee 1005ha. I am using karmic, can anyone help [02:51] ? [02:51] Anybody know how to get GNUCash to recognize an external deposit? [02:51] is there a way to find a path to the apps on the menu [02:51] Alright. Let's see if it works... [02:51] squircle - thats why I uninstalled gadmin-samba. I thought maybe that program had its fingers in with the smb.conf despite me having it shut off, so I uninstalled it. I even looked for a .gadmin folder to delete it if it was in my home dir but it wasnt. [02:52] zebastian, what do you mean? [02:52] MindSpark what wireless chip? [02:52] Haha! It works. Wonderful. Thank you. [02:52] zebastian: System | Preferences | Main Menu ? [02:52] ...oh god. "GRUB Hard Disk Error" [02:52] Wolter, i mean, clearly the menu entry does work so i want to find out a pth to that entry [02:52] Where did I go wrong this time? [02:52] RHorse, atheros ar9285 [02:53] zebastian, right click the menu and hit edit, then look for the item you want and go under properties [02:53] Roasted: when you removed jason as a local user, it may not have removed it from the samba passwords database... [02:53] Roasted: just a shot in the dar [02:53] 2d performance with intel 965/960 unsatisfactory? [02:53] Roasted: if the smbpasswd -x doesn't work... [02:54] bloody worked [02:54] rEFIt works, but...Ubuntu, not so much. [02:54] Wolter: jebblue thank you [02:54] squircle - that kind of makes sense. From XP when I log in as jason/regularpassword, it goes to the next screen where I see the shares. When I click on my share, it prompts me again. It's as if it's asking me to log in as a user who has actual permissions. Thats what happens when curt tries to log into tylers share, cause hes not a valid user. [02:55] MindSpark what does ifconfig/iwconfig show? PM results or pastebin [02:55] squircle - however, when I set a NEW password to jason and restarted samba services and tried again from XP, it flat otu wouldnt let me past the 1st screen with the new pw. It had to be the old one. [02:55] Roasted: btw, force group is deprecated [02:55] squircle - meaning what? [02:55] Roasted: it'll be removed in Samba4 [02:55] Roasted: not a pressing issue [02:55] Hi! [02:55] squircle - I can work around that. I can just assign the user as the group for the share they own. [02:55] zebastian, no problem [02:55] !hi | Umeaboy [02:55] Umeaboy: 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! [02:56] Anybody using both Ubuntu & Mandriva here? [02:56] squircle - actually I lied, I need force group... I need force group for my public share... [02:56] squircle - I ran force group cuase I didnt want 777 permissions on my public folder, I wanted 775, so I added everybody to the group and pushed that down instead. [02:56] No? [02:57] Roasted: you can put the create and directory masks under the one share heading and it'll apply only to that share [02:57] Roasted: what happens if you change valid users = jason to valid users = %S [02:57] Roasted: under the Jason share [02:57] I have installed Ubuntu 9.04 on a 300 GB HDD. [02:58] squircle - I want the masks to apply to all shares. If I leave them where theyre at I assume theyll hit public too. Let me try the %S thing... [02:58] RHorse, sorry, it's on the other computer, ifconfig doesn't show anything regarding wlan0 and iwconfig shows wlan0 without problems [02:58] i installed custom cursors and they only show up in firefox [02:58] sda5's size is 296 GB. [02:59] holy s*** [02:59] thats huge [02:59] squircle - same problem. [02:59] Well I used the Live-CD when I installed. [02:59] Umeaboy: how much is mandriva got? [02:59] Okay. I tried to boot Ubuntu, and I get a GRUB Hard Disk Error. [02:59] EricTheHax: i have two 500 and will have a 1 TB soon [02:59] MindSpark nothing about ath0? Do you also have a ethernet hooked into it? [02:59] After doing an install I expect was proper. [02:59] I'm trying to install Mandriva on the side of Ubuntu. [02:59] What did I do wrong? [03:00] Roasted: i guess that pretty much exhausts my knowledge of samba... [03:00] Roasted: maybe if you post in the forums somebody else may be more knowledgeable, but I don't know what else it could be. [03:00] Umeaboy: your going to want to give 10Gig minimum to Mandriva. use Gparted to partition [03:00] Roasted: so so sorry :( [03:00] so..... anyone know how to fix this: I installed custom cursors through the appearance menu and they only seem to show up in firefox. [03:00] squircle - I did post. Hoping someone answers. [03:01] squircle - when does smaba 4 come out? [03:01] Roasted: samba4 is an optional install, but it's a complete rewrite of the code [03:01] IdleOne: I'm in Mandriva One-CD atm. [03:01] Roasted: as to when it will be formally released and take over samba 2... i don't know [03:01] Roasted: there'll probably be another way to do what you want to do in samba4 [03:01] squircle - I dont understand why they would remove force group though. [03:02] Umeaboy: #mandriva can help you with the partitioning [03:02] Roasted: there's probably just a different way of implementing it [03:02] another way to get at applications that start at bootup aside from system -> preferences? [03:02] *sigh*. Three hours wasted trying to install an OS that won't even boot. [03:02] Roasted: i'm sure they wouldn't remove the functionality [03:02] I know. I've already asked. [03:02] Umeaboy: Good. How can we help you? [03:02] plz help i cant get my custom cursors working correctly [03:02] RHorse, no, nothing about ath0, I don't have ethernet [03:02] how do I report broken drivers?

[03:12] ran always-enable.sh [03:13] alright, yes then [03:13] Blackbird: rEFIt won't give you a grub error, grub will give you a grub error [03:13] While booting Windows?

[03:16] I downloaded the .iso, it was 1MB less than supposed to be. [03:16] LinuX2half: I believe most people use virtualization [03:16] LinuX2half: WINE may be able to run some version of iTunes but it won't be able to sync your iPod or iPhone [03:16] LinuX2half: Last I checked, Wine doesn't run iTunes very well. [03:16] LinuX2half: For syncing you have to use iTunes on OS X or Windows [03:16] hey all [03:16] It's exactly 698MB, is that fine? -.- [03:16] Happehwalrus: That looks correct [03:17] Happehwalrus: Check the MD5 if you're nervous.

[03:29] /join #xubuntu [03:30] scunizi: The question is.............what size do I choose if I want Ubuntu and Mandriva to have equal space to use? [03:30] Guest64924: you could find a screenshot on the web of an English version, the text fields should be in the same place in German [03:30] Strife89: LOL thanks... now would it be... Computername OR Vollstaendinger Computername ??? [03:30] hey, would anyone mind compiling and running a few .java files for me (i'm not at my 'buntu comp, but really really need to have them run) if you could just paste me the output, that'd be great. if you don't feel comfortable running them on your computer without proofreading them first, that wouldn't be a very hard job (only about 2 pages printed out. its all just string processing, anyway) [03:30] Guest64924: Blackbird says he can read a little German. [03:30] ... [03:30] The disc-space and what the Live-CD shows isn't the same as far as I know. [03:30] Neither of those two. [03:30] Those two are self explanatory. [03:30] Umeaboy: sda1 is 296gig so if you want them to be equal. devide that in two parts [03:30] Guest64924: Neither. [03:30] Blackbird: Whats up ? care giving me a little help ? [03:31] Your computer's name (to the network), and your computer's REAL name. [03:31] Go back. [03:31] Umeaboy: first you can share the swap partition.. no need to create two [03:31] Ok... [03:31] back to where ? [03:31] Okey. [03:31] That's what I was worried about. [03:31] Guest64924: Hang on, lemme screenshot the English window.... [03:31] Umeaboy: as for the rest of it.. do you have ubuntu already installed and are now installilng mandriva or the opposit? [03:31] Hello! I downloaded a 2.6.31 kernel source using "apt-get source linux-source-2.6.31 --download-only".

[03:46] Weasel :D [03:46] I've tried my best, but I can't get it to work... mind you, I'm not very good with this command line thing. [03:46] I typed the following: "1024x768_60.00" 63.50 1024 1072 1176 1328 768 771 775 798 -hsync +vsync [03:46] I think my memory is pretty bad. I don't quite recall.

The lamp for hold (shift) key was flashing on and off while i couldn't go around this state. i had to make a hard reset (holding power button 5 seconds) :( [03:47] sorry, I typed: xrandr --newmode "1024x768_60.00" 63.50 1024 1072 1176 1328 768 771 775 798 -hsync +vsync [03:47] It did not work.

[03:49] seth: I'd recommend installing the restricted driver for the video card you'll probably get better results [03:49] How do I do that? [03:49] I'm pretty inexperienced [03:49] spanther: Mabye, but maybe not.

[03:58] Omlette, how can you live with ATI? i especially have watched for my notebook to have a nvidia solution and intel chipset because i knew it works best on linux [03:58] spanther: Actually ATI has served me better than nVidia, so far.

[03:59] spanther: agreed, i removed my ATI to work better with linux [03:59] spanther: You are right, the Linux drivers need work. [03:59] Strife89, omfg! Gamecube is no laptop or desktop! xD dont compare gamecube with linux desktops rofl xD [03:59] spanther: All my 3D games get dastardly framerates.

Can anyone help please? [04:00] ptarrant, i changed to Nvidia 8800gt especially for better support under linux (at my desktop) :) [04:00] ctmjr, I don't intend to connect them in SLI. There's no need, as I want one card to manage my center monitor, and the other to manage the two side monitors. It would require two drivers to be loaded, from what I've read.

[04:03] yeah [04:03] siinz: and can you ping the gateway, if so, try pinging 4.2.2.2 and see if you can get a reply [04:03] looks awesome when i drag windows [04:03] Prohibited: Alright, game time! :) [04:03] time to see if WINE fails [04:03] Prohibited: You play Armagentron?

[04:08] -.- [04:08] spanther: yes [04:08] nattgew: I can cd gnomesalon.0.1.1-prealpha, but what is the next step. I was under the impression it is ./configure which says no such file/directory [04:08] Rosey, and which fileformat do you want to play? [04:08] Darkedge245: WHat is it?

[04:13] jebblue: I was hoping I'd be able to force in libc6 thrugh a chroot, you don't think that'll work? [04:13] spanter: is that different from the repos? i have always done apt-get install vlc after enabling them in the sources [04:13] arand: no idea [04:13] ptarrant, well yes it's different. it's from the PPA resources :) [04:13] spanther: thanks [04:13] I'll let you know how it goes [04:13] arand: I'd say always use the default repos and you should always be ok [04:14] spanther: thanks, i'll have to be getting that ASAP - thanks === hajar is now known as Hajex [04:14] deexannihilate: I don't think you need to do ./configure and such, I think you can just run it... not sure how, though [04:14] hello - I need some help resetting my display in kubuntu hardy - my brother tried to enable dual displays and now I can't seem to start my xserver [04:14] spanther: hows your knowledge of openLDAP? [04:14] the usual VLC inside Ubuntu is 0.9.9a so get the 1.0.0 release from PPA :) [04:15] jebblue: that's blatantly obvious :/ [04:15] ptarrant, well... zero *g* [04:15] arand: so are regular backups :) [04:15] how would you run something in php-gtk? [04:15] hey does anyone know about iptables, etc? I have a router conencted to a few computers. One of these computers has two network cards: one connected to the router, and the other one connected to an extra computer (which only has one card). I want this later computer to have access to all the other computers and the internet. Any idea how to set this up? Using ufw, prefereably. [04:15] ptarrent: strike last statement...i cannot ping 4.2.2.2 [04:15] spanther: atleast your honest :) im attempting to migrate the school i support to ubuntu, already using samba for their file server, wanted to move them from microsoft active directory to LDAP, but it ain't looking good [04:16] nattgew: thank you. i'll do some more google searches [04:16] ctmjr, I've already got dual monitor going with a single card. That's why I need another card for another monitor. [04:16] ptarrant, i'm honest everytime! ^.^ [04:16] sinnz: can you ping the logon server? [04:16] ptarrant: no [04:16] Whos a genius with samba? I have (what I think to be) a corrupt user account... and deleting/re-adding doesnt solve my problem. [04:16] ptarrant: Wish I could've done that at my school. >.< [04:16] deexannihilate: you're welcome. it's in php-gtk, you should look into running the .php file with that somehow [04:16] ptarrant: cant ping 4.2.2.2 off wireless either...just realized the first time i was still connected through my friends laptop [04:17] Nachturnal: yea sorry it was the wrong one this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_p3X7CdE2oc [04:17] Roasted: what makes you think its corrupt? [04:17] Strife89 no doubt [04:17] andresj: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Router [04:17] ctmjr, oh wow... lol that's awesome [04:17] ctmjr: Holy ... I want that. [04:17] ptarrant - I have 4 samba users. 3 of them work. Mine does not. When I connect to my share, it just continually prompts me for my username and password. I've tried everything I know of... [04:18] sinnz: if you can't ping the logon server your not on the network, try the logon server, if you can't your dead totally, and theirs another issue besides DNS and IP settings [04:18] ptarrant, oh and don't forget to set the updater to automatical install security updates without request inside the ubuntu source editor gui :) [04:18] ptarrant, automatism helps saving your time and holding systems up to date :) [04:18] i'm about to be reinstalling windows on my computer, could anyone tell me what i should do to either make sure my grub isn't wiped out or reinstate grub without much trouble so i can still access ubuntu? [04:18] spanther: i'll need directions on that in a sec, go abit of a mess going on here, too many people! LOL [04:18] ok ^^ [04:19] Roasted: do you have pemissions over your share? [04:19] ptarrant - yup. Permissions are applied accordingly, too. [04:19] MrWizeGuy1983: Since windows always assumes it will be the only OS on the machine, it will overwrite your MBR. To fix it, follow ubottu's instructions: [04:19] ! grub | MrWizeGuy1983 [04:19] MrWizeGuy1983: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [04:19] hi, does this still work: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=9670 ? do I need the alternate cd or does a live cd work too? [04:19] Roasted: have you set the samba user password the same as your user account? [04:19] ptarrant - I took a backup of my smb.conf last month. I've ran samba for 4 years, and I've never had an issue. I tried to run gadmin-samba to check it out (GUI tool for samba) and bam, things started working weird. So I uninstalled it and brought over my smb.conf backup and rebooted, and still the issue remains. [04:20] ptarrant - No. I've never had my samba account password the same as my ubuntu user account. Ever. [04:20] sinnz: im just making sure, you can't ping the logon server right? [04:20] Roasted: sorry, bad habit on my part :P so i assume your using the correct samba password [04:21] ptarrant: correct, cant ping anything apparently [04:21] ptarrant - Yeah, it's a very simple password... I've even tried other passwords too when I re-created my account. [04:21] siinz: then your not on the network at all, are you sure your using the correct IP settings? same as your windows bootup? [04:21] ptarrant: yup [04:22] Roasted: perhaps reinstall of samba? [04:22] ptarrant - why didnt I think of that? [04:22] Roasted: i do it all the time :P [04:22] ptarrant - I guess Im trying to think of it from the network admin standpoint, since reinstalling isnt always the first thing you want to dow hen you have 1,000 users who rely on it. [04:22] Roasted: indeed [04:23] siinz: if your using the same setup as your windows boot, do you have another IP you can use, or are you assigned only one? [04:23] ptarrant - which begs the obvious question - If I were a network admin running samba, what would I do? :( [04:23] Roasted: yea, redoing 1000 users would be a bad thing [04:24] ptarrant - however, I just reinstalled samba, and my old smb.conf is here. [04:24] ptarrent: for the most part i can only get another if the server assigns me a new one [04:24] siinz: so its DHCP? [04:24] Roasted: your old one before using the GUI tool? [04:24] ptarrant: yes...as far as i know [04:25] Hello! I'm running "make menuconfig", where can I find the option for floppy disk drives? I'd like to disable it [04:25] ptarrant - the GUI tool takes on the smb.conf, you just can continue editing with the GUI tool and itll apply it to the smb.conf accordingly. But I uninstalled thinking it'd remove my smb.conf, and when I reinstalled it was still there with all of my settings. [04:25] siinz: so your not assinging it an IP on linux? or are you? [04:25] What are some good Linux games? [04:25] ptarrant - problem still remains. Damnit. :( [04:25] Roasted: so that solved it? [04:25] Roasted: ARG... lol [04:25] Prohibited, which genre do you like? :) [04:26] TREMULOUS [04:26] ptarrant: i've done it both ways, when i dont assign it thought it grabs the right IP, but the default gateway isnt ever right and i cannot connect to the login server [04:26] Any ;p [04:26] Prohibited: Enemy Territory Quake Wars, Enemy Territory, [04:26] Prey, America's Army (up to 2.5), Quake 4, Enemy Territory, Sauerbraten, [04:26] Typhoon Tempest, Unreal Tournament 2004 (III coming out supposedly [04:26] for Linux when Ryan Gordon finishes the port), Urban Terror, World [04:26] of Padman, Nexuiz, Warsow, Billiard-GL, Foobilliard. and Urban Terror [04:26] jebblue: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

(i belive thats the command, i will check if you don't know it, but i think our knowledge is matched on this one) LOL [04:26] ptarrant - yup. If you run -x it delets the user. -a adds it. I've tried both. About 40 times. :( [04:27] ptarrant - I also added a new bogus user, but gave it the permissions of jason (my acct) and it worked beautifully. Its MY account in particular... [04:27] Prohibited, I highly Recommend Tremulous [04:27] siinz: try getting the assigned IP, write it down, write down all the settings from your windows and config it the same, you may have to shutdown the network manager and do it from inside nano, NM doesn't work well with my router anyway so...i feel your pain [04:27] hi there [04:28] Prohibited, lol :D Well commercial native running games are "Quake Wars", "Quake 4", "Unreal Tournament 2004", free downloadable native games are "Americas Army", "Enemy Territory", "Sauerbraten", "Nexuiz", "Warsow", "Urban Terror", [04:28] :P [04:28] Warsow? [04:28] ptarrant: i switched to Wicd, and how do i do that all in nano? im new to linux so i dont know all the tricks and fixes yet [04:28] yes weird name lol [04:28] Roasted: ok, try this, create a dummy *sudo approved user* and delete both your linux and samba users, then create yourself again in both again....did that make sense? [04:28] same as "Sauerbraten" xD [04:28] its quake like.. more cartoonly and fast [04:28] anyone up to the challenge of a simple question from someone who is shocked at the evolution that Linux has made, and doesn't know where to find anytthing? [04:28] lol [04:28] so its a FPS? [04:28] rgr [04:29] jebblue: that almost seems good, but what i want is more like a switch than a router—I specifically don't want NAT: I want the two computers to have separate IP addresses. [04:29] siinz: oh wait, this is wifi right? [04:29] ptarrant - whoa, you want me to delete jason the linux user??? Would that delete my home directory? [04:29] Prohibited, http://www.sauerbraten.org/ [04:29] spanther, why do you leave out tremulous? It's awesome. [04:29] Oh btw.

But I had to be curious and screw around... [04:30] any apt-get install cmds for these games? :P [04:30] Prohibited, re: tremulous, you'll really want to use the backport that supports http map downloads; I don't know that the version in the repository has that patch [04:30] I get fast speeds from the nz.archive.ubuntu.com lol [04:30] andresj: ok well it's a big question not just an Ubuntu one - good luck! maybe try here too: http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=336 and alot.os.linux.ubuntu on Usenet [04:30] siinz: i think im out of ideas on that one, anyone else feel like jumping in?

[04:32] siinz: my wifi never worked with the network manager, so i disabled it, i then edited my /etc/network/interfaces to include wlan0 settings, but im not 100% sure on the settings for your setup, i wish i knew more [04:32] cvandyke: you can try System | Adminsitrator | Hardware Drivers for Restricted or just use Synaptic and search for intel [04:32] Laptop [04:32] ptarrant: well thanks for the help...i'm slowly figuring out whats wrong...now to find a fix [04:33] jebblue, there's no restricted driver for intel video, their driver is completely open [04:33] Prohibited, Urban Terror is a free CounterStrike Clone! :D [04:33] cool [04:33] cvandyke, approximately how old is the laptop?

[04:39] cwillu_at_work - I'm trying to figure out a samba problem. My samba account isnt working and I've tried -everything- and the only thing Im wondering is if maybe something is hung up with my linux account to my samba account. If I create a new samba account with the same persmissions as mine, it works, yet mine doesnt. [04:39] o_o...

[04:40] Austril-Asia* [04:40] ptarrant: yes [04:40] siinz_, in windows, open "cmd", and type "ipconfig /all"; those settings should be everything you need to configure the network in ubuntu via the network manager | manual connection [04:41] How can I get subversion on ubuntu? [04:41] cwillu_at_work: already done man...no dice [04:42] cwillu_at_work, his windows works fine, but linux is a no-go, he can't ping anything including the login server using linux, but in windows its perfect, same settings at windows. any ideas im kinda shot except for disabling the NM-applet and assinging it in /etc/network/interfaces [04:42] 1 minute remaining for Tremulous. [04:42] wongon1: sudo apt-get install subversion [04:42] Prohibited, where are you from? :) [04:42] i booted intrepid (on thumbdrive) on lynnfield/p55 machine today and hpet fills the logs with warnings-- tried options like acpi=off and hpet=disable and didn't help. i may try disabling C State next. anyone dealt with that yet?

It didn't work by default.. I down loaded rpm from epson, but alien gives this error "dpkg-gencontrol: error: current host architecture 'amd64' does not appear in package's architecture list (i386)" what can I do? can I override this? [04:44] * ptarrant is getting bugged by the wife something about this thing called sleep....and we need it....any ideas :) [04:44] nanotube, run as fast as you can to germany. then you ran into future! xD [04:44] cwillu_at_work: ya...it will be 2 different comps though...my buddys laptop is set up the same way my windows side is so besides IP and devices the settings are all the same [04:44] Tremulous has finished, it's asking what I want to open it using =p [04:44] spanther: heh [04:45] Prohibited, why didn't you download it from the repos? [04:45] ptarrant, sleep together maybe? xD [04:45] Bob_Dole: It's a game [04:45] ptarrant: my fiancee wears earplugs so that I don't keep her up :-) [04:45] I'll run it using the Terminal [04:45] Prohibited, yes, and? It's in the repos [04:45] it is? [04:45] Yes. [04:45] :s [04:45] ah well [04:45] its finished now [04:45] no point in redownloading it [04:45] spanther: she threating bad things now, so i guess im out :) [04:45] siinz_, that _may_ cause issues, as the hardware address won't be the same between the two machines, which can confuse the infrastructure a bit [04:45] hello all... why can i only hear sound from one program at a time? if i'm watching youtube for example, anything else that i run that uses sound gives me an error "The audio playback device does not work, falling back to ..." ... i've been dealing with this for over a year now on multiple systems, different versions of ubuntu [04:46] ptarrant, but better as ptarrent is ptorrent ! xD [04:46] ttyl everyone [04:46] siinz_, it definitely won't work if they're both on at the same time with the same ip address [04:46] Anybody know why I'm getting the error: could not find package subversion [04:46] ptarrant, okay bye :) [04:46] spanther: you just totally blew my mind :-) [04:46] If you download trem in the repos, you can get an upgrade from tremfusion in a .deb package. it makes life easier. [04:46] laterz [04:46] lol [04:46] i did? o.o [04:46] fine then ;p [04:47] siinz_, and depending on how things are setup, the router may simply ignore your mac address if it's not known to be correct for that ip address (depending on how the sysadmin/provider set things up) [04:47] whats the package name? Tremulous didn't work [04:47] !info tremulous [04:47] tremulous (source: tremulous): Aliens vs Humans, team based FPS game with elements of an RTS. In component multiverse, is optional.

[04:49] cwillu_at_work, i keep hearing this... and then i go away and google for hours... then i have to come back here and rant [04:49] google offers gadgets? o.o i didn't know lol [04:49] is it possible to recover an deleted partition? [04:49] Basically, the trem in repos is out dates, but still connects to the new servers(they may have warnings) tremfusion is an easy to install "upgrade" that brings it up to date, but trem fusion isn't in the repos. it's here. but the .deb makes it -very- easy to install. http://www.tremfusion.net/ [04:49] areay, ping me in 20 minutes, I've got two other users on the go, and I'll just get confused if I try to help a third at the same time then :p [04:50] LinuX2half, it is possible to recover deleted file if you have not written anything on it [04:50] cwillu_at_work, lol ok cool... see u in 20 [04:50] tanjir, what do you mean by "written"? [04:50] Could someone please provide ./sbin/ldconfig.real and ./sbin/ldconfig for jaunty please? I'm deep in the muck currently... [04:50] 5 mins to go. [04:51] LinuX2half, after you deleted the files, if you have not formatted (full format by writing 0 in each bit) or you have not copied other files to the disk [04:51] no one can tell me what "configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice" mean in dmesg? [04:51] Aragon, /sbin/ldconfig, not ./sbin/ldconfig, right? [04:52] tanjir, well basically I just deleted my windows to put in my ubuntu partition [04:52] tanjir: is harmless message from a usb device [04:52] LinuX2half, you deleted windows from hard disk? using rm -rf? [04:53] tanjir, no when I run the liveCD and in the setup process [04:53] lol thats one way to go about it [04:53] erUSUL, i know it is harmless... but i want to know what these configurations mean... coz i when i connect my web cam... it shows this line, and nothing happens.. :( [04:53] LinuX2half, oh... you basically formatted your hard disk... unfortunate... :( i don't know if you have lost e'thing [04:54] tanjir: someusb devices has more than one conf. the kernel chhoses the more apropiate [04:54] tanjir, yeah, so is there a way to recover that lost partition? [04:55] erUSUL, thanks for the info... now i will have to find out why it is not detecting my web cam. [04:57] what do I change in my .bashrc in order to only have my prompt display the last three directorys in the tree. i.e. if i'm in /a/b/c/d/e/f I only want it to show me@my_comp: d/e/f [04:57] who [04:57] ezzieyguywuf: Not sure if you can do that [04:57] There's \w and \W [04:57] ie: [04:57] LinuX2half, there are applications... i am not sure if it is recoverable in your case... coz seems like you have formatted the hard disk and written the new Ubuntu on it [04:57] garn. I'd really love to have that.... [04:57] export PS1="[\u@\h \W]$ " [04:57] My PS1 [04:58] i could use some help installing the JRE so i could run Java application in my browser. [04:58] Ziber: yea I know the \W . I really wish I could control how many dir.s \w displays though... [04:58] hm [04:59] Tremulous is installed :) [04:59] i have already downloaded the JRE file which has a .bin extension.. now what to do? use "sh" from the terminal? [04:59] Prohibited, remember to add tremfusion now :D [04:59] Hi all... still having trouble trying to get 1680x1050 on my external display. cwillu was helping me, but I got disconnected [04:59] tanjir, so application like testdisk?

[05:01] Prohibited, http://www.google.com/linuxrepositories/ubuntu704.html [05:01] all google apps accessible x) [05:01] 7.04? lol a *little* old isn't it? [05:01] it works still now -.- [05:01] tanjir here's a line from the document "If you made a mistake while partitioning and the partition no longer appears in the partition table, so long as you have not written data in that space, all your data is still there." [05:01] nothing changed so far in this way how to add this repository so they had no need to change it :) [05:01] tanjir, does this apply to my issue? [05:02] tanjir, so I guess its not possible to recover this partition because I had written data in that space, correct? [05:02] hi ,i want to record the telnet content, what should i do ?thanks [05:02] LinuX2half, right... I will assume so [05:03] LinuX2half, but you can give a try... in case you still have them [05:03] even it is possible to have them partially [05:04] okay, so I should run sudo swapoff -a? === Phrogz_ is now known as Phrogz [05:04] hi ,all , i want to record the telnet content, what should i do? thank you [05:04] it gave me an warning saying that there should be no disk being mounted [05:04] cwillu_at_work: erm...i didnt get my linux sides info but i have to go for now...ill try to get that information here shortly if you can still take a guess and try to help [05:04] Hey, I'm trying to set up a static IP address so I can forward apache to my domain name but I'm not sure exactly how to get my ip adress, gateway, and netmask. whatismyip.com gives me a different IP address than ifconfig [05:04] installed tremfusion [05:04] and the Google respos :p [05:05] tanjir so maybe I should use a liveCD for this procedure? [05:06] can not read Bengali news paper aajkl in Firefox . i have installed padma duynamic fonts. It works only for Anandabazar. Do i install Netscape ? [05:06] LinuX2half, you can. [05:06] I always hit some key combo that takes a screen shot of my screen. I can't figure out what I hit for this to happen. Anybody encounter this problem? [05:06] saurav, why do you think people knows about ajkal here? :P [05:06] spanther: Installed Tremulous, Tremfusion and that Google respos :P [05:07] If someone could point me to the right direction. I created a user with a group and copy my current .bashrc in ~ into the new directory /home/newuser. The problem is i cant autocomplete words such as file names, commands. Any ideas? [05:07] tanjir, but I'm stumble with how should I start first, part the partition first or scan [05:07] char00les, you may need to logout and login [05:08] did you press Prt Scr? [05:08] Prohibited, then you can install Google-chrome-unstable google-desktop-linux and googleearth-package :) [05:08] LinuX2half, I did not use those tools by myself.. but I believe there are a lot of tutorials if you google it [05:08] then you have all these three apps ^^ [05:08] tanjir: i go and try that [05:08] char00les, good luck [05:08] tanjir, whats the ubuntu rescue remix? [05:09] tanjir: thanks, and if that was it and am going to lol myself [05:09] LinuX2half, i am aware of ubuntu netbook remix... not familiar with rescue :-/ [05:09] how can I see the error messages generated from empathy? if I start it from the console, it gets automatically started in the background and doesn't show anything [05:09] I SSH to ubuntu server, ls -l doesn't show up .htaccess file, anyidea why? [05:09] test34, dmesg doesn't work? [05:09] kbp: ls -al > ls -l [05:09] -a shows hidden files/folders [05:09] tanjir, no [05:10] kbp, you need to do ls -al [05:10] can anyone help me configure my /etc/network/interfaces? [05:10] Ziber & tanjir : thanks I got it [05:10] np [05:10] tanjir, it is not able to connect to my SIP account but it doesn't tell me why [05:10] test34, there might be logs under /var/log [05:11] In Tremulous, can't you alt-tab or minimize the screen? [05:12] test34, try this: http://live.gnome.org/Empathy/Debugging [05:12] tanjir, ok [05:12] ryguy: Define "configure". [05:13] Ziber, he wants to know how to configure his internet connection i believe [05:13] Yes, I know that. But that can mean a lot of things. [05:13] Ipv4/IPv6, etc [05:14] what is the best replacement of IE in ubuntu [ except Firefox ? ] [05:14] ryguy, are you trying to connect to wireless network or wired connection? [05:14] saurav: Opera [05:14] saurav, you still can run IE in ubuntu... lol [05:14] saurav, either opera or maybe google's browser? [05:14] shhh [05:15] i'd have to say im preetty impressed with chrome even though it is still alpha [05:15] I'm trying to install apache, wired connection. Heres what I updated my /etc/network/interfaces looks like: http://friendpaste.com/2B9LjhFiq4m3eKVzFNvO82 [05:15] cwillu, you free? [05:15] Thanks xorwhy !! [05:15] to look like* [05:15] areay, very very soon :) [05:15] tanjir: it didn't work...I added the user using this guide http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/add-a-user-on-ubuntu-server/. Copy my files such as .profile, .bash_history, .bashrc and .viminfo into a new directory which was /home/newuser. I dont know where the problem might be. Is it the .bashrc or .profile or /bin/bash or /etc/bash.bashrc? [05:15] cwillu, np i'm watching a tour of the ISS anyway === Xpl0it is now known as Xpl0it_AFK [05:15] ryguy, what is the relationship between /etc/network/interfaces and installing apache? :-S are you following any instruction? [05:15] brb [05:15] I just wish Chrome had an equivalent to Firefox's adblocker [05:16] tanjir: im following this http://www.ubuntugeek.com/ubuntu-710-gutsy-gibbon-lamp-server-setup.html [05:16] jdelanoy: yeah an exact equivalent isn't htere yet but they just turned on extensions by default so I am hopeful :) [05:16] tanjir: I'm trying to make it so when i goto my domain.com that I see my apache [05:16] server [05:16] I am trying to change my $PATH environment variable, I want to change the order of which it searches directories. [05:16] if they did, and if they fixed a couple of layout issues, I'd probably use it instead of FF [05:17] tanjir, what does it mean when to ensure that no partition is mounted? [05:17] ryguy, you set it up from apache config file... not network config file... [05:17] tanjir, so right now a partition is mounted? [05:17] tanjir: I need a static IP adress to give to godaddy [05:17] For example, if it searches /usr/bin first, and /usr/share/bin second, I want to know how to have it search /usr/share/bin first, and usr/bin second [05:17] areay, check pm [05:17] i have a problem. printing is sucking big time. to the point where, im looking at a pdf i need for one of my classes, and just going to the print menu makes my computer go kablooie [05:17] I have a question. Does Mesa3D and DRI come built-in with Ubuntu? [05:17] i cant getit to switch ttys, to reboot, nothing [05:17] tanjir: also, sorry we're swamping you with questions =x [05:17] i have to powercycle it [05:18] char00les, your current user is the newuser? does the configuration work for the old user as well? [05:18] mo9nykit yes [05:18] Does anyone know of a video editor which allows you to blur certaing content out in each frame? [05:18] xorwhy, edit your PATH variable so that your priority directory will be mentioned first [05:18] thats using evince, and if i use okular it takes a half hour to spool or something before it even starts printing, if it starts printing at all [05:18] I think.. [05:18] is ubuntu ok for a server? [05:18] yup [05:18] tanjir, yes...there are only two users...the root and newuser...the root works [05:19] LinuX2half, i don't know if your partition is mounted... can you access the files from that specific partition, then it is mounted... in that case you need to unmount it first [05:19] it's faster to open up a virtual machine and use adobe reader from there, than it is to print from ubuntu [05:19] Steil, thanks. Probably my video card wasn't well supported (ATI Radeon Xpress 200) [05:19] and i have no idea how to find any logs or whatever to see what the actual problem is with evince [05:19] is there much of a difference between debian and ubuntu config wise ? [05:19] i cant uninstall mysql [05:19] ive looked at the log viewer and i dont see anything [05:19] no matter how hard i try [05:19] mo0nykit: OK, would you by chance know the syntax for doing that without editing the file directly? Perhaps with export? [05:19] whats good peoplz [05:19] hi all there seem to be a bug on the registration form for ubuntuforums [05:19] tanjir, well I just have no idea whats that file. [05:19] wont accept an email like ubuntuforums.org@waisse,org [05:20] ryguy, itz okay.. :-$... your static ip should go under /etc/apache2 config file [05:20] oups im too tired and the font used make me think it was a dot, sorry for noise [05:20] char00les, it should work... unless the file is not loaded during the log in process. [05:20] tanjir: but I need to actually set up my static ip, right? [05:20] xorwhy, i have an idea.. let me give it a try [05:20] im confusex O_O [05:21] very confusing. [05:21] areay, you there? [05:21] LinuX2half, it is not easy to explain... i am not sure if you are familiar with linux partitioning systems [05:21] tanjir, well I don't ironically [05:22] Does anyone have a guide how to create an ad hoc network for my iPod Touch? [05:22] ^on [05:22] tanjir, ah maybe. What file suppose to be loading? I tried searching it on the net, but it couldn't find anything or i am using the wrong keywords. Thanks for your help. [05:22] ryguy, right... let's start over... you are setting up your apache server at godaddy or in your computer? what are you trying to accomplish? lol [05:22] LinuX2half, :( [05:22] hmm [05:23] * LinuX2half sigh [05:23] cwillu, sorry [05:23] cwillu, im back [05:23] hi ryguy, tanjir seems busy, maybe I can help. Sounds like what you're tryin to do is up my alley :) [05:23] mikinanuq: sounds good =) [05:24] xorwhy, I don't know how to "interchange" entries, but this is how it works: http://paste.ubuntu.com/279265/ === Sedated_ is now known as Sedated [05:24] ryguy: so from what I gather the apache server is working fine but you need to get your domain on godaddy setup correct? [05:24] mikinanuq, thanks for coming in :) [05:24] mikinanuq: Alright, I bought a GoDaddy domain. Then I installed apache and when I goto http://localhost/ I see "It works!". Now when I goto my GoDaddy domain, I want to see that "It Works! message [05:24] I'm new to Tremulous, there appears to be no servers up =[ [05:24] mo0nykit: Wow thanks so much, I figured I might have to erase the entries, and then put them in typing the commands in chronological order [05:24] tanjir: thanks for your help sofar, btw [05:25] Hello, I was wondering if anyone could help me install tellico 2.0 from source? [05:25] how can i get ubuntu server? [05:25] xorwhy, that would be a good enough method. I wish I knew something more automatic :) [05:25] just get normal ubuntu? [05:25] !ubuntu [05:25] Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com [05:25] !download [05:25] Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors - PLEASE use the !torrents to download Jaunty, and help keeping the servers' load low! [05:25] ryguy: ok what's your IP currentlyL [05:25] ? [05:26] Gratz474_: You can grab the server CD, or the alternate CD. Either of those will give you the ability to install a GUI-less Ubuntu. [05:26] mikinanuq: when I type ifconfig or when I goto www.whatismyip.com? [05:26] xorwhy, take note that export doesn't make changes permanently. They'll revert to the defaults on your next reboot. [05:26] I see this IP 173.16.175.177 [05:26] ryguy: whatismyip.com [05:26] mo0nykit: Oh.. Wasn't aware, Thanks [05:26] Flannel, i was thinking of doing this over a debian install, sound like an ok choice? [05:26] Gratz474_: Yeah, the alternate CD and server CD both use debian-installer [05:27] mikinanuq: 173.16.175.177 [05:27] Flannel, i mean like debian changed a few things but it looks like what i want to do will work in ubuntu so i was thinking about using that [05:28] ryguy: ok so now you need to setup your firewall to forward port 80 to your internal IP you see in ifconfig [05:28] mo0nykit: this will be my last Question, and then I'll rtfmp. If export does not save permanently, can I use set instead? [05:28] mikinanuq, is it because he needs to forward the ip from his router? [05:28] Gratz474_: Er, sure [05:28] mikinanuq: alright, I'm gonna go do that and I'll get back to ya =) [05:28] export PATH=$PATH:/usr/sbin/:/usr/local/bin , how can i undo this command ? [05:28] tanjir: yeah, that's what it looks like [05:28] xorwhy, I haven't had experience with set so far.. :) [05:28] Aalinux, reboot your machine, its temporary [05:29] mikinanuq, you got it... :) [05:29] xorwhy: Any other way without reboot, any way to deactivate now? [05:30] Aalinux: Hmm, don't know [05:30] char00les, another question... can you do ls -al .bash* and paste it? it is possible that .bashrc's owner is the root user [05:31] Does anyone know how to install a program from source? [05:31] Aalinux: You want to undo $PATH? [05:31] char00les, in that case, under your newuser's account, .bashrc can't be accessed [05:31] whats an extended LBA mean? [05:31] Ziber: Undoing this export command export PATH=$PATH:/usr/sbin/:/usr/local/bin [05:31] its an partition [05:31] DGG: usually it's .configure && make && make install [05:32] mikinanuq: okay, so heres the deal. I'm on my familys network and my stepdad says he cant let me forward my ipaddress to port 80 because "all http requests will be send to my computer which means no internet for the rest of the family" [05:32] I've tried that but no luck [05:32] mikinanuq -> that assumes there is a makefile for it [05:32] I'm guessing the && is the name of the program [05:32] ryguy: that is incorrect [05:32] && is a way to link shell commands together [05:32] xorwhy: Ziber: Only "exit" will do the job. [05:33] amg [05:33] Tremulous is epic [05:33] ryguy, i agree with mikinanuq ... Port forwarding happens with inbound packets [05:33] whats an extended LBA? [05:33] ryguy -> link? nope, its a test [05:33] ryguy: all that will do is forward http requests from your router to your computer, nothing will be affected. [05:33] ryguy: just tell him if something breaks to set it back but to at least try it ;) [05:33] DGG, && means AND [05:33] mikinanuq: ha alright ill try [05:34] sudo fdisk -l , sudo: fdisk: command not found , but sudo /sbin/fdisk -l works, Why? What to do? [05:34] Ok but when I .configure it says command not found [05:34] AND meaning only if the first one finishes without an error [05:34] ./configure [05:34] Xor1ng, (in case this hasn't been said yet) export FOO=bar isn't permanent [05:34] DGG: you may need to chmod +x configure before you run it [05:34] Aalinux -> thats because the command fdisk is not in the $PATH, use the full path and it will work [05:35] cowbud, thanks.. i wasn't aware of that for && [05:35] DGG: run ./configure from the actual directory where the source is [05:35] n8tuser: Any way to avoid using /sbin, i want to use only sudo fdisk -l [05:35] cd [05:36] Aalinux -> dangerous, try to use the full path to ensure you are running the correct command and not some trojaned command sitting in your home dir [05:36] !pastebin [05:36] 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 [05:37] hello, can someone help with this? http://paste.ubuntu.com/279270/ [05:37] tried that but no luck the can I just copy and paste chmod +x configure [05:37] mikinanuq: okay, he says that he doesnt want to forward ALL of the http requests from port 80 to my IP, only the ones coming from my domain [05:37] back [05:37] I'm trying to install medibuntu on kubuntu HH [05:38] no fix on the display [05:38] still able to get into X, but it does look awful [05:39] commandline ok, how do I poll comm port to see if a device I have plugged in is recognized? )Rex PDA) [05:39] ryguy: hmm, that's not possible. Your router/firewall has 1 IP which will be the IP of your domain. === Guest45420 is now known as donnybrasco [05:39] Fezzler: would dmesg help? [05:39] mikinanuq: should I just buy hosting somewhere that runs on linux? [05:39] dsdeiz>> command? [05:39] dsdeiz>> just "dmesg" [05:40] ryguy, he doesn't know what he's talking about [05:40] Fezzler: or dmesg | tail to see only the last bits [05:40] hello, can someone help with this? http://paste.ubuntu.com/279270/ [05:40] hello, can someone help with this? http://paste.ubuntu.com/279270/ [05:40] cwillu_at_work: know -_- but theres nothing I can do =( [05:40] ryguy, on a home router, forwarding port 80 will only affect incoming addresses, it will in no way affect outgoing connections [05:40] ryguy: yeah that's an option. If it's going to be a serious site it's probably the best thing [05:40] I'm trying to install medibuntu on kubuntu HH [05:40] ryguy, explain to him that a networking professional with 20 years experience told you so :p [05:41] wow [05:41] cwillu_at_work: tried that ha I told him that I was getting this info straight from the horses mouth [05:41] I'll just deal with this when I buy my own dsl line [05:41] cwillu_at_work, i would advice him to not to tell him anything... do it when e'one is sleeping... if anything breaks restore it... if nothing breaks, just keep silent :P [05:41] indeed [05:41] alternatively, do port 8000 [05:41] ryguy: or get a dreamhost hosting account (or any other shared hosting). they're reasonably cheap... [05:42] ryguy: your other problem if hosting a website on a home network is that your IP will change every once in a while or every day depending on your ISP [05:42] no go [05:42] tanjir: I dunno the login info [05:42] okay , donnybrasco . why don't you try adding mediabuntu to sources first [05:42] or i totally would [05:42] anyways, dreamhost is the way to go? [05:42] ryguy, that sucks.. :( [05:42] ryguy: more configuration is required to setup a steady domain on an IP that changes (dhcp) every so often as a home network does [05:42] sources list . . . [05:42] godaddy is also cheap... why don't u buy hosting from them? [05:43] artistxe> how do I do that? [05:43] I was gonna develop on my computer, then buy hosting eventually [05:43] hi all, i have built this program from source and added this directory it created to my PATH variable (in .bashrc). The directory consists of a bunch of bash scripts that need to be run as root. When i try to run one of the scripts as root (sudo) i get command not found. when i run as normal user they work (though i get permission denied at some point). What am i doing wrong? [05:43] I guess I could still do that..I need a hosting site with ruby on rails capabilities though [05:43] donnybrasco, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu#Adding%20the%20Repository [05:43] ryguy: ok I thought of another option [05:43] ryguy, you still can develop in your machine, and update the system in your hosting regularly... this way you will have a backup too [05:44] I'm trying to install a program from source but when I type the ./configure command I get command not found. Any ideas? [05:44] mikinanuq -> where are you getting those info from? its not overly difficult to have dyndns re register your dhcp allocated address if it changes [05:44] ryguy: with your current setup that will not affect your hose line [05:44] ryguy: yea, good idea to dev on your machine, then just rsync the changes up to the hosting account when they're ready. [05:44] DGG configure is not executable i believe [05:44] n8tuser: true for someone that understands DNS... [05:44] * ryguy has no idea how DNS works [05:45] ryguy: make sure your PC is fairly secure and have him put it on the DMZ of your router [05:45] ryguy well can we suggest you read up or do some tutorial on networking okay? [05:45] DGG: what program? [05:45] artistxe> you'll notice that I copied and pasted that command into konsole, which is what returned that error - I haven't seen anything on that site about adding sources [05:45] Tellico 2.0 [05:45] ryguy: that will put your computer at rist though because your computer will be exposed externally [05:45] DGG: where did you extract it, did you cd to that directory after extracting it ? [05:45] HAHAHA yeah okay, DMZ is reserved for him so he can download the fastest torrents [05:45] hes a prick. [05:45] donnybrasco, most of those packages ARE available thru synaptic anyway. [05:45] how do I get Pidgin to stop notifying me when people log onto msn? [05:45] ryguy: so you may want to check on some security howto and lock it down [05:46] because in games it kills my fps [05:46] yup I'm in the tellico-2.0 directory [05:46] artristxe: I need skype - haven't seen that in synaptic [05:46] ryguy: if you go the DMZ route [05:46] donnybrasco, the repositories must be in your sources list . ( not actual source code) [05:46] DGG: you need to read more, it uses cmake i.e. no configure === xod is now known as onats [05:47] I'm just gonna buy hosting, thanks /alot/ for all your help anyways guys =D [05:47] ryguy: DOH! sometimes you can put more than one on the DMZ and putting your computer on the DMZ does not make it faster lol [05:47] donnybrasco, okay. well then ADD the repositories to your list file and refresh synaptic and you will . [05:47] mikinanuq: again, hes an idiot =p [05:47] ryguy: ok [05:48] nomad111, i had a similar problem before. Take a look at this. It involves adding a symbolic link in /usr/bin. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1274323 [05:48] I'm sorry but what do I read and where is it? [05:48] artistxe: thanks for your help - I have to hit the sack now, though. Gotta work early - I'll take another crack at it soon [05:48] dgg starting on their page is a good place to start [05:48] ryguy: hosting is really the better solution - you'll save at least that much in power bills because you won't have to leave your comp on 24/7 if you host on your comp. :) [05:48] ryguy: Make sure his computer is secure because an idiot in a DMZ is just asking for trouble [05:48] artistxe: thanks again [05:48] this room is a trip certain times of the day/night [05:48] donnybrasco, n/p [05:49] mo0nykit: thanks for the tip [05:50] alright im outta here guys. Thanks again! [05:50] c ya [05:50] Thanks I see where they mention cmake. guess I need to read up on how that command works. [05:51] nomad111, you're welcome :) [05:52] hey...i had a quick question...how do i setup a raid 50? [05:52] dlp211 that is barely a quick question [05:52] sorry... [05:53] i already have 2 raid 5 arrays [05:53] just formated and partitioned [05:53] how to record the telnet log? [05:53] are you using soft raid? [05:53] yes [05:53] dlp211: now you need the same amount of drives and mirror them :) [05:53] can i just use mdadm? [05:53] mdadm --create /dev/mdXX --raid-devices 2 --level 0 /dev/mdA /dev/mdB [05:53] a raid 510 [05:54] kk thats what i thought...just wanted to make sure thanks cowbud [05:54] where mdA and mdB are your raid5 devices [05:54] you will need to recreate the filesystem over /dev/mdXX though [05:54] so just use mkfsys.ext etc [05:55] was 0 mirror or stripe? hmm gotta look it up [05:55] dlp211: yep [05:55] stripe [05:55] mikinanuq: 1 is mirror [05:55] ah ok, had it mixed up [05:56] thansk [05:57] isn't 5 stripe with parity? [05:59] I guess I'm not understanding why you would want to do 50 hmm I've seen 10 [06:01] yes 5 is stripe with parity.....raid 50 gives u greater write speeds...its just a little performance bonus and more importantly...it looks like 1 huge hdd [06:02] YOU'RE THE MAN! [06:03] im currently building a 9 TB server for files/backup/itunes/dvd ripping/etc etc [06:03] dlp211: looked in to ZFS? [06:04] http://calebgamb.on.toribash.com/ [06:04] ive looked at jfs and ext4 [06:04] I've read a little in to it but haven't checked it out lately. [06:05] hey there guys ......do u still support 8.04 ? [06:05] dlp211: I read something about RAIDs greater than 3TB are not stable. If one drive fails you'll still get parity problems and the RAID will not rebuild [06:05] Hey everyone! I need some serious help getting PulseAudio working in 9.04 with 5.1 surround and an Intel AD198x chipset [06:05] cobra-the-joker: yup.. its an LTS [06:06] !LTS [06:06] coool [06:06] 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 [06:06] I've followed all the HOWTOs, I've tried basically everything I can think of, but Pulseaudio refuses to work. [06:06] im not worried....ive seen data centers that use larger raids than i [06:07] halhorn: what dose aplay -l show for cards? [06:07] in a terminal? [06:07] and if its safe for them then its safe for me [06:07] i though LTS stands for LifeTime Support ..lol [06:07] dlp211: problem is that drives have a known block failure rate that manufacturers cannot eliminate.. at greater than 3TB you have so many blocks that you're bound to have bad blocks and parity fails [06:07] dlp211: something like that [06:07] Life of a Gnat. :) [06:07] halhorn@Hal9000:~$ aplay -l **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: AD198x Analog [AD198x Analog] Subdevices: 0/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 <-- Biovore [06:08] lshw -c multimedia gives me, most importantly, product: 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller [06:08] halhorn: try alsamixer -c 0 to add just levels [06:08] dlp211: true, just interesting I thought. [06:08] well i will be a total success or total failure..... [06:08] its not like im running a data center [06:08] Biovore: I am told that this card supports 5.1, so... [06:09] halhorn: I don't know if the linux opensource driver does.. [06:09] Biovore: None of the channels even show up in Alsamixer [06:09] dlp211: http://blogs.zdnet.com/storage/?p=162 here it is [06:09] halhorn: I think all you get is a master volume and maybe a PCM channel [06:09] the 5.1 on windows is done via software. [06:09] Biovore: Yes. So it just doesn't work, then? [06:10] anyway, gotta go gnite [06:10] !sound [06:10] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [06:10] !alsa [06:10] No kidding, right? I've tried all of it, ALL of it. :( [06:10] I think the alsa site has a compatability matrix. [06:11] hey i want to completely reset all of my audio settings in ubuntu 9.04, does anyone know how to do that? [06:11] halhorn: what does lspci say the card is? [06:12] Hello... I was reformatting my iPod and acidentally zero'd the partition on my main HD.... I haven't restarted yet and everything still seems to work... is there any way to recover the partition table with everything preserved? I ran "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=1M count=10" [06:12] 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 01) [06:13] halhorn: http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Module-intel8x0 is all the info people have collected on that card.. apparently there are alot of oddball variants. [06:14] hello [06:14] halhorn: but it looks like it sees the card because you get a mixer.. Could be something silly like it stuck on putting sound out the HP only. [06:15] It gives me sound perfectly on the front left and right channels [06:15] And the sub, and nothing else anywhere [06:15] I think the problem is something involving channels [06:15] ok so I'm trying to install a program from source using cmake. How do I do that? [06:16] halhorn: yeah.. 5.1 probably isn't support.. the 5.1 isn't done in hardware.. Its performed by there userspace program on windows, which dosn't exist for linux. [06:16] Biovore: People all over the net seem to be giving me positive reports... there must be a way! [06:17] halhorn: there are variants of that card that might.. [06:18] my intel audio on my laptop dosen't support 5.1 eather.. [06:19] How do I edit the contents of the "Places" menu on the panel? [06:19] Hello [06:19] Where is the screen resolution is saved? Which file? [06:20] My screen resolution is not saved. [06:20] Aalinux, /etc/X11/xorg.conf [06:20] Biovore: So what do I need to do to, uhm, try, exactly? [06:20] Aalinux, but be careful, you could really mess some things up by editing that file [06:20] hey, anyone know of a pastebinit-like tool for imgur or equivilent? [06:20] halhorn: no clue.. [06:21] I can't figure out the PID of the login shell? [06:21] PPID is supposed to be it I thought, but that differs from the output of echo $$ [06:21] im running alpha 3 on a system, whats the fastest way to update to alpha 6?

I don't see anything in there for mounting a partittion [06:39] halhorn: oss? =p [06:39] dsnyders: what DE? === Siege is now known as Outsiderzx [06:40] AngryKoala, DE? Um... Desktop Environment? Gnome. [06:40] <^mNotIntelligent> hi all ! [06:40] HI [06:40] dsnyders ; You can deal with mount points with it I believe . (Such as / , /boot if that is what you meant ) or is it that you want to mount partitions [06:40] t [06:40] any help with a apt-get to force reset to defaults? === Siege is now known as Outsiderzx [06:41] <^mNotIntelligent> I'm on dell 1555 , jaunty.. i was just doing some changes to sound prefrences using the sound button from the upper right panel, and then...oops my sound is gone...any idea on that? [06:41] dsnyders: You can set the mount point from nautilus in properties [06:41] Blizzerand, I want to create a mount point and mount a partition. I was hoping to avoid hand editing /etc/fstab === Outsiderzx is now known as Siege [06:42] dsnyders : Ah you did confuse me with that , use terminal , its much easy to mount things with just a single command [06:43] Blizzerand, the mount command mounts it only until the next reboot. I could manually edit /etc/fstab, but I was hoping there'd be a gui for that by now. [06:44] you can make it a startup script =p [06:44] and isnt there a gnome automounter application? [06:45] dsnyders : Sorry , don't know of any such gui's . I always feel happy mounting then just when required lol [06:46] I have saned running on a computer, when I run xsane on another it doesn't connect. the saned show in syslog that it allowed the connection...

Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [07:12] Now the bottom menu is gone! [07:12] I used the alt f2 run in terminal, and all menus are gone now! [07:12] Please help. [07:13] How do I install extra effects? [07:13] Lola: Sys>Prefs>Appearance>Visual Effects tab <- set to Extra [07:13] Compiz Config [07:13] sorry about this but do i hit enter after apt-get nvidia then tab, as tab is doin nohing atm [07:13] But please, help [07:13] Lola: compiz is already installed [07:13] "apt-get" Is how you get an application or package from ubuntu's repositories [07:13] linux, "apt-get update" will update all the packages from the repository. "apt-get upgrade" will update any installed packages you already have, with any that are due for update. [07:13] How can I do this? All my menus are gone [07:13] installed [07:13] Evening [07:13] evening :) [07:13] SharpRain: maybe create a luancher to the terminal on the desktop [07:14] Any shell scripters online? [07:14] linux, however for some reason an X11 application called Update Manager pops up offering packages that apt-get doesn't. That shouldn't be. [07:14] Once I'm at the terminal, what do I do? [07:14] !panels | SharpRain [07:14] SharpRain: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [07:14] I typed that, and it made ALL panels go [07:14] I used alt + f2 run in terminal thing. [07:14] it seems i dont have compiz? [07:14] fhenning09, are you saying Update Manager is conencted to different repositories? [07:15] how do i know if i have compiz? [07:15] Please, I don't know what to do. [07:15] SharpRain: ok so that didn't bring back panels and like default, well there is a way to add a panel back, I don't know how though hmm [07:15] SharpRain: type nohup gnome-panel [07:15] No I'm saying its the command based package install program [07:16] That didn't do anything [07:16] Lola: What happens when you set Sys>Prefs>Appearance>Visual Effects tab <- to Extra ? [07:16] I chose run in console, also. [07:16] oh huh [07:16] fhenning09, what's the difference? it's the same package repository. [07:16] true true [07:16] It didn't work. [07:16] can someone help me use a .run file? [07:16] not sure how to use it [07:16] nothing [07:16] Is there no way to get the panels to come back? [07:16] prod1: Try to run it with ./file.run in the directory where the file is contained [07:17] fhenning09, take a headless on X11 system. like a server. it's making me thing my apt-get is not network correctly seeing all available updates. [07:17] SharpRain: if you can get into a browser, you can probably Google a solution [07:17] logout and back in and they should respawn [07:17] I can't, though [07:17] DigitalKiwi: and if they don't hmm [07:17] Damn this. [07:17] SharpRain: Yes it's fairly easy. [07:17] lola type this into a terminal [07:17] sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [07:17] well he only killed them with killall gnome-panel [07:17] he won't be any worse off ;p [07:17] So what should I do? [07:18] then go system>prefs>compiz [07:18] !panels | SharpRain [07:18] SharpRain: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [07:18] I typed it, and it killed ALL my panels/ [07:18] Now I have neither the top one, or the bottom. [07:18] SharpRain: mm, that's probably wrong, sorry. That resets them. [07:18] accol: How are you sure he already has compiz working? [07:18] How do I get to a terminal? [07:19] SharpRain: alt + F2 and type 'gnome-terminal' or whatever terminal you use. [07:19] well i thought he said nothing was in preferences [07:19] SharpRain: google "free the fish ubuntu" [07:19] either way that would do nothing if it installed [07:19] What? [07:19] command not found when i try to run .run file :/ [07:20] <^mNotIntelligent> SharpRain, alt + F2 and type 'gnome-terminal' [07:20] I'm screwed. [07:20] <^mNotIntelligent> SharpRain, why? [07:20] I like terminator for a supped up gnome-terminal [07:20] Because it doesn't work. [07:21] <^mNotIntelligent> Dr_Willis, i like that too [07:21] SharpRain: should have right clicked on the top panel, and done add panel, of course [07:21] SharpRain: however there are probably ways to get both panels back [07:21] Guess we need to eventually add a 'reset-gnome-settings' command ? [07:21] delete all the gnome config/dirs and relogin to gnome with no settings.. it will use the defaults. [07:22] hey all [07:22] but you may lose some info/data you dont want.. that way [07:22] well he could always switch to a tiler (as he should anyway) [07:22] Dr_Willis: I was thinking something like that as well, delete Gnome .folders [07:22] when i wget, shouldnt it download to the dir that i am in in terminal [07:22] ? [07:22] <^mNotIntelligent> prod1, yes [07:22] i have transmission going.. so i am always carefull to not delete that info/settings [07:22] Dr_Willis: or install something else first XFCE or whatever, just in case, Gnome can't just be logged in to [07:22] prod1, yes [07:22] awesome ftw :D [07:22] sebsebseb: i always have other window managers installed. :) [07:22] hi techie :) [07:23] am having problems with my nvidia drivers :) [07:23] SharpRain: see what I just said to Dr_Willis and what they put [07:23] so much fun i want to throw my pc out of window [07:23] <^mNotIntelligent> prod1, what did google have to say on that driver issue? [07:24] prod1: be glad you don't have ati, you actually would throw it out the window [07:24] anyone ever heard of 'kill bill' linux? [07:24] Dr_Willis: hmm how are they even going to remove the .folders when they are having issues getting a command line [07:24] prod1, if you do throw it out the window, throw it my way [07:24] <^mNotIntelligent> accol, nopes [07:24] <^mNotIntelligent> prod1, techie : or my way [07:24] ^mNotIntelligent, gggrrrrrr, mine [07:25] havent checked but i just went to the site and went to dl drivers and just came up with a massive txt age. the url ended in .run so i assumed to wget the .run to my desktop but its now not there :/ [07:25] <^mNotIntelligent> techie, okey you take it ! [07:25] straight rip off of ubuntu (same loading screen and look) and charging 70 dollars for it at a convention i went to [07:25] whats wrong with ATI? [07:25] acollo [07:25] <^mNotIntelligent> prod1, try getting that using the standard browser way [07:26] fhenning09, lots, i say this as an ATI user [07:26] compizconfig settings manager came out [07:26] ? [07:26] ok [07:26] ty [07:26] <^mNotIntelligent> fhenning09, whats the prob ? [07:26] it worked? [07:26] yes [07:26] For instance? [07:26] SharpRain: still here? [07:26] http://ati.amd.com/products/catalyst/linux.html [07:26] fhenning09, their drivers are closed source and didnt even support xv [07:26] i did just click on the download box but it redirected me to the .run file which it wrote out for me in the browser :D [07:27] loving the transition [07:27] sebsebseb: from the console. [07:27] Hmm, nevermind - I'll google a solution, cheers anyway guys. [07:27] How do I create a live image ( that may be a customization of ubuntu or any other distro). Do you guys know of any gui tools [07:27] prod1, you can right click and "save as" [07:27] <^cheeky> hi [07:27] Dr_Willis: Guess not as important as they made it sound, since they just left on us [07:27] fhenning09, from what I can see in my limited knowledge, linux people in general like nvidia better due to their superior driver support and consistent bug fixes [07:27] oh yes, sorry its 7.30 am here and havent slept yet :D [07:28] !remaster [07:28] Interested in remastering the Ubuntu !live CD? See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization or use tools such as http://uck.sourceforge.net/ or http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/DRU_Disc_Remastering_Utility [07:28] Blizzerand: unetbootin [07:28] <^mNotIntelligent> !remaster | Blizzerand [07:28] Blizzerand: Interested in remastering the Ubuntu !live CD?

I want to create a customized linux ( may be ubuntu or any other distro) by adding more packages [07:29] !unetbootin > DigitalKiwi [07:29] DigitalKiwi, please see my private message [07:30] <^cheeky> hi, when setting up server (ubuntu) and having different partitions have different OS installed, should i choose the option erase data on this partition (win7(ntfs(crap))); before i install ubuntu server ? [07:30] <^mNotIntelligent> ^cheeky, no [07:30] ^cheeky: dare we ask why you are using the 'server' edition? [07:31] don't have your lacky bot pm me, kthankx [07:31] ^mNotIntelligent : I am using ubuntu but I am not interested in customizing ubuntu , but another distro . I have the live cd , and are there any tools that may help doing so [07:31] Blizzerand, you should just need to mount your other distro and edit whatever you need to [07:32] sorry back :) hope i didnt miss any help was just tryin to download the .run [07:32] <^mNotIntelligent> Blizzerand, the link meant to sever as a starting point to make you get going with customising linux distros, once you've comfortable doing that you can do the same with any other linux distro... [07:32] How do I find where grub is? [07:33] <^mNotIntelligent> *was meant to serve [07:33] celthunder : Wouldn't that break some of the configurations .

[08:36] good morning [08:36] is there a shortcut to put down the awn bar? [08:37] why are newer packages in ubuntu tied to newer ubuntu releases. As an example, nmap 5.0 is only part of ubuntu 9.10 [08:37] batrick: beacuse ubuntu dosent push new versions of packages onto older releases. [08:37] except in the backreports repos - thats one way to get newer stuff. [08:37] !backports [08:37] If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging [08:38] batrick: because ubuntu releases more often than a lot of other distros, which makes the backports that much more available to previous versions [08:38] i'm running karmic koala, is there a version of virtualbox for it? what about boxee? [08:38] and if backports doesn't have it, ppa might [08:38] blueglasses: virtualbox is in the repos for 9.10 [08:38] blueglasses: check the package manager [08:38] prince_jammys: it does'nt show any password it only say the configuration could not be loaded when i try 2 open users and groups [08:39] blueglasses: #ubuntu+1 can help you a bit better with that, we support 9.04 and earlier here [08:39] n8tuser: i'm sorry I can't find the file [08:39] Dr_Willis: Gnea: Thank you [08:39] Dr_Willis, whats the repos source for it?

[08:42] Dr_Willis: what about "folder" and "domain"? [08:42] Dr_Willis: Quote from n8tuser, ShapeShifter499 -> per the error on pastebin, look into the initscript of privoxy ? [08:43] ablmf: leave them blank i guess [08:43] cheslyn: what ubuntu release do you have? [08:43] ShapeShifter499: privoxy has its config files in /etc/ somwerhere.. Ive not used privoxy in ages - there was a wiki page on setting up Privoxy and TOR i recall [08:44] prince_jammys: i think 9,04 [08:45] ok [08:45] cheslyn: and you are able to sudo, correct? i'm seeing others with your problem in the forums.

I'd like to be able to do `ping client12` without the .local suffic. So I tried putting "search local" in my /etc/resolv.conf, to no avail. What am I doing wrong? [08:56] prince_jammys:thanks alot i'll try harder now [08:57] everybody [08:57] why me don't add http://ftp mirror to apt sources.list ? [08:58] alkisg: do you have a dns server? [08:58] I have :D [08:59] aethelrick: no, except for my router which has a simple forwarder [08:59] but can not add any http://ftp mirror to sources.list [08:59] alkisg: if you want to use names instead of ip addresses to contact machines on your network, then you need a dns server :) [08:59] cheslyn: sorry, I don't have "Users and Groups" installed. look in the forums for 'users and groups' 'configuration could not be loaded'. [08:59] aethelrick: avahi ****is**** an mdns server [09:00] aethelrick: that's the main reason it exists... [09:00] cheslyn: the name of the application is "users-admin" [09:00] I use opendns , and vnpt dns, why it not accept ? [09:00] aethelrick, alkisg or a WINS server [09:00] aethelrick: as I said *I'm able* to ping client01.local. So mdns works fine [09:01] aethelrick: I only have a suffix problem... [09:01] alkisg: as far as I know... avahi is a zeroconf mdns implementation that allows interoperation with apple kit [09:02] aethelrick: yup, and it works fine for standalone ubuntu machines on a local network without a dns server. My only problem is that it doesn't reply without specifically using the .local suffix... [09:03] alkisg: samba share or for web server? [09:03] Padhu: neither - I e.g. need to ssh to them [09:03] Padhu: i.e. ssh client12.local works fine, but ssh client12 doesn't work [09:03] alkisg: do you have winbind installed? As far as I know it can run alongside avahi, and it might solve your problem [09:03] calebH: I don't have windows machines on my local network... do I need winbind? [09:04] alkisg: I thing you should configure host name setup. host allow, Host deny etc. [09:04] alkisg: I just had a quick read in the zeroconf docs... looks like you only get .local to play in by design [09:04] it gives you a name service that will allow you to communicate without the .local "domain"/suffix [09:05] alkisg: it works for me and I don't have a single win box on my network [09:05] calebH: so it's an alternative to avahi? thanks, I'll look into that [09:05] alkisg: perhaps relevant: http://www.mail-archive.com/avahi@lists.freedesktop.org/msg01483.html [09:05] aethelrick: but shouldn't the resolver try client12.local when client12 fails? Isn't that what "search .local" is for, in resolv.conf? [09:05] install the 'winbind' package, and add 'wins' to the following line in your /etc/nsswitch.conf: [09:06] alkisg: good question... I guess that depends on how much cross over to regular DNS the avahi guys included [09:06] alkisg: "hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4 wins" [09:06] prince_jammys: thanks, I guess that's the source of the problem. DNS is tried first, it fails, and mdns is the last resort (and that doesn't look at resolv.conf) [09:07] aethelrick: yup, I think that's it ^^^ [09:07] which java should be my default: 1 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/java or 2 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java ? [09:07] calebH: Thanks, I'll look into that as well :) [09:07] alkisg: you can read the man pages, or google for more info, but nsswitch provides instructions on the order in which names are looked up... [09:09] alkisg: I've got a small network at home running 7 machines and BIND solves these problems for me, my users don't need to do anything special as it's all configured by DHCP and DDNS working together [09:09] alksig: even my macbook plays nice :) [09:10] aethelrick: I tried using BIND, but I have a major problem: I *have* to use a simple router as a DHCP server, so BIND doesn't work out of the box in that case. I have to use nsupdates, and that's a PITA... :-/ [09:10] has any one here ever burned an emovix disk? [09:10] i am installing ubuntu server i didnt select nay packages to install but its pulling in quite a bit of stuff [09:10] zope and python etc [09:11] why is it doing that when i just wanted a base ? [09:11] Question! Do most people run gnome-desktop and kubuntu-desktop on the same partition? [09:11] Gratz474: if you want a bare bones system you should look at Ubuntu JeOS [09:13] steven__: I guess "most people" run one or the other... but if you do want to run KDE and Gnome on the same partition it's fine [09:13] is chrome on linux yet? [09:14] steven__: I used to run both myself once upon a time :) [09:14] aethelrick: I think I'm having a similar problem as alkisg, but I haven't had time to look into it, and it doesn't seem to happen all the time. I've tried to get avahi to pay attention to resolv.conf, but to no avail. [09:14] heh [09:14] steven_ apparently sharing home directories between gnome and kde can cause trickiness in some areas? [09:14] What made ya stop? Tired of all the clutter of things in the app menus? [09:14] aethelrick: what do you run now? [09:14] Gratz474: it exists on linux/osx as "chromium" [09:15] Gratz474: I think it's called Chromium on Linux... I'm not sure if they have released a packaged stable version yet though. Last time I looked it was very much an alpha code-only release but things may have changed [09:15] is it by google or someone else? [09:15] why is tor no longer a package in the repos of karmic? [09:15] has any one here ever burned an emovix disk? [09:15] Gratz474: it is under active development by google, but is very usable (and fast) IMO. [09:16] see here for a daily build PPA: https://launchpad.net/~chromium-daily/+archive/ppa [09:16] I use Gnome now... kde4 was a major turn-off for me personally I need stability when I'm working and kde4 was too broken for my needs [09:16] i seee? [09:16] kde4 has major issues always something going wrong [09:16] xfce ftw [09:16] gruberr: Tor has its own repos. [09:16] and gnome [09:16] grawity: they don't work with ubuntu's libevent package due to conflict [09:17] yeah i used kde for like a month and got really frustrated by it [09:17] kde 4 really has its outs [09:17] gruberr: They work for me. (Basically, Tor is a program that must be updated as fast as possible when a new release is out -- and Ubuntu repos are kinda slow in that.) [09:17] Gratz474: I hear that the kde4 guys are getting more stability again now, but I'm going to give it a while before I try it [09:17] i find gtk based stuff better even though i do like kde api's [09:17] still the kwin is very unstable [09:18] grawity: can you guide me through your successful installation on karmic? [09:18] i'm trying to get the hang of fluxbox right now... kinda of annoying that it doesn't connect automatically to the internet since I am using a usb wireless stick. And I don't know how to make it work via the terminal... [09:19] Gratz474: I was a big kde3 fan... used it for years. But kde4 was too much change with not enough testing all at once in my humble opinion. === blue-frog_ is now known as blue-frog [09:19] timbojimbo: try in terminal cd /usr/bin && ./gnome-network-properties [09:19] Gratz474: I'm a very happy gnome user... it all "just works" which is what I need from my desktop OS at work [09:19] yes xfce is very good too, very much like gnome [09:20] i would highly suggest either [09:20] google even liked qt [09:20] yet they made the browser with gtk [09:20] need some help, I have very unstable internet connection since installing ubuntu [09:20] KDE is too busy for my taste. Gnome has, IMO, a much cleaner look & feel to it... [09:21] gruberr: will that open a txt file or is that a script? [09:21] timbojimbo: a script i believe (or program acutally) [09:21] gruberr: Why not just run /usr/bin/gnome-network-properties directly? [09:21] gruberr: What's the point in cd'ing? [09:21] grawity: he can browse other things to bring up in fluxbox [09:21] the strange assumption that /usr/bin is not in his path [09:22] can anyone help with this: ACPI Error (psargs-0358): [CDW1] Namespace lookup failure, AE_NOT_FOUND please?

[09:51] aksci: (in your terminal): locate .desktop | grep package-name-here | less [09:51] calebH: yeah, it works! but just if i could make custom one without much to do! thanks anyways! got it done! :P [09:51] peeps123: once you've upgaded the apt, ill have you download wicd or others equivlent [09:52] aksci: oh, ok. Cool. [09:53] flyman does that update the operating system? [09:53] anyone know much about virtual machines? [09:54] flyman Setting up exim4-config (4.69-9ubuntu1) ... [09:54] Adding system-user for exim (v4) [09:54] timClicks: that's like asking if anyone knows "much" about computers... Too broad. What specifically are you trying to figure out? [09:55] roflparrot: it will firstly download any critical or needed dependencys and other programs from distro source that the computer may not have [09:55] caleH: I'm just wondering why VirtualBox OSE doesn't seem to be recognizing the host key [09:55] calebH* [09:55] Mert :you can download it from http://www.getdeb.net/search.php?keywords=songbird [09:55] so basically anything available and it's dependencys will be downloaded roflparrot [09:56] RightCTRL doesn't seem to take me back to the host OS [09:56] (ubuntu) [09:56] timClicks: huh? Host key? [09:56] timClicks: ah, yes [09:56] Can't remember how to run an app as admin - Tried Alt+F2 - What is best way? [09:56] how do I reinstall something in ubuntu? like transmission [09:56] calebH: sorry, I'm just getting my head around the whole VM concept [09:56] zvacet: I did that the problem is it is not working when I try to launch the application [09:56] hobi: always can do it in terminal and type su then password or sudo and command [09:57] timClicks: and you're sure you didn't change the host key setting? [09:57] Want to look at a log file - Say's I do not have permission [09:57] flyman: there's no OS/2 Enable/Disable option in my BIOS, not in the Main menu or any other menu.. [09:57] will play around with it [09:57] just thought I would ask if anyone else had had issues [09:57] timClicks: don't apologize, you're doing pretty good if you have figured out the concept of "host" and "guest" [09:57] hobi: in terminal you can su to root and vi the file or sudo vi /file-path [09:57] flyman, will give that a try - thanks === ccooke_ is now known as ccooke [09:58] calebH: ha, well - that's a fairly core concept I would imagine [09:58] timClicks: check Preferences -> Input -> Keyboard [09:58] shoss: can you type the output to pastebin.ubuntu.com? [09:58] timClicks: it is, but you'd be surprised how many people (even in the technology industry) stuggle with it... [09:58] I'm testing the OLPC XO, giving the guest OS the same specs as the actual machines [09:58] Mert : I never use it I just find deb for you to avoid compilig try start it from terminal and see if you get any errors just type name of app in terminal [09:59] HazeFaze: thanks :) [09:59] flyman: output of what? og dmesg | grep APCI ? [09:59] shoss: yes please [09:59] timClicks: btw, I've used VirtualBox for the past 18+ months, and I haven't yet had any issues with the host key not working [09:59] zvacet: eeh how can I start an application on terminal? [09:59] I can't update my blocklist.. It's just saying updating [10:00] calebH: I use vbox religiously too and no problems. Couldn't live without it. [10:00] caleb: so, when you click on the right control - it takes you back to the host? [10:00] timahvo1: press right-control left mouse click [10:00] calebH: will find some relatively obscure key combo and update [10:01] timClicks: when I press the hostkey button (which is right-ctrl by default) it releases the mouse/keyboard from being bound to the guest vm [10:01] am upgrading to 3.0.6 via Sun's website [10:01] flyman Setting up exim4-config (4.69-9ubuntu1) ... [10:01] Adding system-user for exim (v4) [10:01] floodbot will kick m [10:01] peeps123: http://paste.ubuntu.com/ :) [10:01] flyman : http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/279389/ thanks [10:01] <_angelo_> Hi! What is the command that I need to use to view what version of gtk+ is installed on my system? [10:01] peeps123: ok don't worry, it will get everything you need, probably packages to even correct the issue [10:02] shoss: ok thanks, ill take a look [10:02] flyman will go and try [10:02] flyman: I love it too. Simple, very good performance compared to other virtualization platforms, and best of all: FREE [10:02] :D [10:02] _angelo_: are you using the standard packages from the repo? [10:02] I'm 60 years old nd absolute eginer with ubuntu [10:02] *beginner [10:03] <_angelo_> yes, timClicks [10:03] calebH: why do you use the OSE edition? [10:03] calebH: agreed and can be used on multi-platforms to have multi-guest platforms [10:03] HazeFaze: I don't [10:03] Mert : try to type name of app for example songbird [10:03] ah okay, then I missunderstood [10:03] HazeFaze: I use the non-OSE because I need the USB support [10:03] peeps123: i promise we'll get you fixed, even if it's not me [10:04] I changed from virtualbox over to KVM - it is slight too [10:04] flyman lol and thank yo very much [10:04] Hello. What's the package name for the debug version of the Linux kernel? [10:04] timClicks: I should have clarified - I don't use the OSE version of VirtualBox (from the repos), I use the "closed-source" version from the VirtualBox website (which comes with USB support) [10:04] shoss: are you using a laptop? [10:05] flyman: yes acer aspire 5920 [10:05] timClicks: it's also "free" to use, but not true OSS [10:05] i use prism for google-docs! is there any way i can have it remember by password like we do in a browser! [10:05] intel by any chance? [10:06] flyman: yes, sorry, I'm not sure what info you need, but yes it's intel dual core 1.66 [10:06] _angelo_: well, it's above 2.0 [10:06] calebH: are you running VB on a separate host machine or locally on your workstation? [10:06] _angelo_: are you testing compatibility with an application? [10:06] HazeFaze: locally [10:06] <_angelo_> timClicks, what is the name of package? (I have found the command: apt-cache showpkg) [10:06] where might the fluxbox file be? does any one know? I want to make the nm-applet automatically turn on on startup [10:07] hello all [10:07] <_angelo_> no, timClicks ... I want to file a bug and needd version of package [10:07] plus on a headless server box at work for various thins [10:07] *things [10:07] shoss: it's fine. I ask cause I fixed a dell laptop w/intel not long ago that had ACPI Error (psargs-0358): [CDW1] Namespace lookup failure, AE_NOT_FOUND issues [10:07] _angelo_: there's no single package [10:08] _angelo_: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=gtk [10:08] flyman its asking which syntax [10:08] * calebH is thinking he needs to get some sleep if he's gonna get up and watch the NFL games in the morning... [10:08] is there a way to view a user list in xchat? [10:08] shoss: try opening a terminal and type sudo cp dsdt.aml /etc/initramfs-tools/DSDT.aml [10:08] masterb8or: try /names [10:09] er wait, don't [10:09] thx [10:09] i didn't have you download the file [10:09] i am trying to install 8.04.3 using wubi but it is looking for 8.04.1 how can i work around this? [10:09] masterb8or: you can also always type /help to get help with irc commands [10:09] <_angelo_> timClicks, my bug is related with the print dialog...what's the component and product that do I have to choose? [10:09] then, to see which commands do what, type /help (e.g. /help names) [10:10] any solution for PulseAudio and hda-intel for Jaunty other than disabling it? 0.9.14 simply doesn't work on my system -- everything stutters horrendously. [10:10] flyman: cp: cannot stat `dsdt.aml': No such file or directory [10:10] :) [10:10] Where should I put a command, e.g. /usr/bin/xterm, so that it runs *while on gdm* and before the user logs in? [10:10] peeps123: for what? [10:10] alkisg: what version of ubuntu? [10:10] calebH: jaunty [10:10] on the ubuntu pastebin [10:10] shoss: type uname -r in terminal [10:11] what kernel are you running? [10:11] flyman: is it me who needs downloading a file for the APCI errors? [10:11] flyman: 2.6.28-15-generic [10:11] try to run ./kurso3 and I get some kind of error message linux-gate.so.1 => (0xb7fdc000) [10:11] is there a solution to the wubi issue? [10:11] shoss: yeah, but depending on your kernel might be able to update it via initramfs [10:11] kurso is an esperanto language program [10:11] whats the best way to measure the power consumption of my desktop? [10:12] i'm running jaunty and KDE [10:12] hello, can I run gnome-ppp without root prevelidge? [10:12] alkisg: well, there are a few ways to do it and I'm not sure if I would give you the best advise [10:12] _angelo_: ah.. each application has its own print dialogue [10:12] <_angelo_> angelo, well...firefox and gedit [10:12] _angelo_: so send the bug to whichever application that you find the bug [10:13] Windows redraw slowly (jaunty,compiz,Nvidia 9500GT,just installed) and I have googled that setting "Force synchronization between X and GLX" would be the solution, but I don't have such an option in ccsm? [10:13] timClicks: It does? I thought it's the standard GTK one. [10:13] _angelo_: they will forward it to the right people if need be :) [10:13] calebH: *any* way would be good enough for me as I only need it for testing purposes.... so feel free to give any advice :) [10:13] grawity: there's a GNOME standard [10:13] flyman: 2.6.28-15-generic [10:13] will it be possible to upgrade from 9.10 alpha-6 to final? my gf's alpha4 installation destroyed itself when upgrading from alpha4->alpha6 [10:13] grawity: not a GTK+ standard, per se (as I understand things - may be wrong) [10:14] alkisg: but one way is to put a symlink in /etc/rc*.d/ (read the 'boot' man page for more info) [10:14] library problem [10:14] shoss: I think if we use CONFIG_ACPI_AC=m it will fix our issue [10:14] try to run ./kurso3 and I get some kind of error message linux-gate.so.1 => (0xb7fdc000) [10:14] ok i dont understand. you put the 8.04.3 distros together with wubi.exe for 8.04.1 so why? [10:14] is there a solution? [10:15] flyman: so i just type that in the terminal? [10:15] alkisg: "man boot" & read under "Sequencing Directories" [10:15] marcellus: That option is only available in recent versions of compiz, ie. Jaunty and later [10:15] calebH: at which point is X initialized? E.g. could I put it in rcS.d/S99 ? [10:15] wonderboy: you can check gnome-power-statistics [10:15] soreau: I have jaunty [10:15] alkisg: I'd put it in rc2.d [10:15] i might as well go back and use hoary [10:15] shoss: I wish it was that easy, unfortunately have to mess with the kernel. I am trying to look for a patch so you don't have to. [10:15] calebH: thanks :) [10:16] How can I see what daemons I am running in the background from the command line? [10:16] steven__: ps -ef [10:16] alkisg: but I'm not sure where in the sequence to put it [10:16] flyman...in the ubuntu pastebin I am asked for Poster ...Syntax...and Comment [10:16] marcellus: Then you need to update your system [10:16] flyman: thank you [10:16] this is just so frustrating [10:16] peeps123: Poster - 'peeps123'. Syntax - 'plain'. Comment - empty. [10:16] calebH: I think rc2 to rc5 are all the same for ubuntu... I'll try and see :) [10:16] HazeFaze: thanks but it seems to be working only on laptop.. i don't have any battery here so there is no sense in "discharge time profile" etc.. [10:16] soreau: I found it now. [10:16] alkisg: just look at what else you have in there and pick a place for it - the scripts are executed in sequential order, so I'm sure you'll figure it out [10:16] flyman sorry that should be Content [10:16] peeps123: poster would be your name and syntax don't worry about and comment is what your pasting [10:17] Are all those daemons? [10:17] Or just some? [10:17] a base ubuntu is 500 mb ? [10:17] alkisg: and make sure to put in a S and a K symlink so the process is killed at shutdown time [10:17] what do I paste then?....excuse my ignorance [10:17] wonderboy: maybe another tool is powertop [10:18] soreau: can't say it made any difference though [10:18] peeps123: im not sure? Did you get an error of some sort during the process? [10:18] wonderboy: yes, powertop will definitely work [10:18] shoss: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpi/+bug/366200 that is our issue in a sense [10:18] flyman I'll probably be hard work you kno [10:18] wonderboy: and it will give you suggestions of tweaks to make to reduce your power consumption [10:18] flyman no [10:18] peeps123: good [10:18] marcellus: If your card has powermizer, this may also be an issue. Do things work better while you have Benchmark plugin running? [10:18] peeps123: ok, did it finish? [10:18] just the page with what I typed earlier [10:19] hi all [10:19] flyman no [10:19] Hi I'm trying to set up a tf2 dedicated server. I'm running the commands in Step 1 on this page: http://tr.im/zSsp Trying to execute './hldsupdatetool.bin' gives me '-bash: ./hldsupdatetool.bin: No such file or directory' [10:19] HazeFaze: yeah i just tried it.. it said "No ACPI power usage estimate available" [10:19] Where can I find a list of what all the background programs/daemons that come installed with Ubuntu do? [10:20] I'm having issues getting a development server running... http://pastebin.com/d7c45ef59 [10:20] can i trn off my mobo-connected case fan with a command? [10:20] andy17null: if you type the 'ls' command, do you see that file name? [10:20] hi, im looking for a minimalist (so really simple but really quick at the same time cuz itz for a super-old laptop), liveCD, linux distro that can be runned from a USB pendrive and also installed on it... any suggestion? thanks [10:20] calebH: HazeFaze I just want a rough estimate on how much power a pentium-d 512mb ram would consume with the monitor off.., [10:20] flyman all I get is three panels with, Poster Syntax and Coment [10:20] andy17null: did you verify that the file is there? [10:20] ..... [10:20] caleb: yes I do and I have already set it to +x [10:20] Problems, [10:21] hi cant seem to scp to my other box but I can ssh to it, no clue what is going on there but could someoen help me figure it out? [10:21] When I try installing Google Earth, [10:21] I got a question, is this a bad idea? (following done in order) Acer Aspire One+ubuntu 9.04 + addon, kubuntu, xubuntu, super os, ubuntu studio, crunchbang, freespire + upgrade to ubuntu 9.10 final(when its done and out for use) [10:21] shoss: it seems no easy way out so far. it seems with the next release it was fixed [10:21] andy17null: are you on 32bit or 64bit ubuntu? [10:21] andy17null: try 'run' instead of './' [10:21] 64 bit server edition [10:21] It works, but freezes after the slpash screen [10:21] andy17null: type: file [10:21] ShapeShifter499: you mean insrtall all those extra desktops ontop of he normal ubuntu? or multi-boot? [10:22] peeps123: No need to use pastebin. Try rebooting your computer through so any updates can take complete effect. Shouldn't have future issues... [10:22] Dr_Willis: on to normal ubuntu [10:22] ShapeShifter499: i dont see the need for crunchbang or freespire in the mix. ( no idea what super os even is) [10:22] caleb: i get sudo: run: command not found [10:22] flyman...OK hope to be back soon [10:22] prince: i get hldsupdatetool.bin: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped [10:22] Is it possible to list all packages that I installed myself (not was included by default)? [10:22] soreau: no difference. I don't find the actions slow in themselves. Just the redrawing of windows when I move them around. [10:22] andy17null: that's the prob. [10:22] peeps123: see you in a few moments [10:22] ShapeShifter499: the more stuff ya got on - the more likely a 'upgrade' will fail, or have issues. [10:22] and thank you very much [10:23] Dr_Willis: super os(AKA super ubuntu) is here -------> http://hacktolive.org/wiki/Super_OS [10:23] marcellus: I dont know what else to tell you than try a different verion of the nvidia blob [10:23] ShapeShifter499: sounds like somthing i proberlyu dont need. [10:23] marcellus: (version of their driver) [10:23] shoss: Are you encountering any power issues? [10:23] mm [10:23] yeah [10:23] i see [10:23] ok i'll look around for a 64 bit version [10:23] if I can't find it is there any workaround? [10:24] calebH: HazeFaze a bit of web search says like powertop and acpi aided measurement is primarily for laptop running on battery.. [10:24] HELP ME [10:24] Is it possible to list all packages that I installed myself (not was included by default)? [10:24] ShapeShifter499: looking at the site.. defainatly somthing i dont reall need. [10:24] how can i create my own web proxy with ubuntu? [10:24] i'll just check the smps label or something;-) [10:24] andy17null: i don't know. mention this here and see if someone does. [10:25] Pirate_Hunter: what about firewall? [10:25] Dr_Willis: do u know freespire irc channel? I couldn't get on the one noted on their site [10:26] anyway thanks HazeFaze calebH see ya later.. [10:26] ShapeShifter499: freespire is the kind of thing i would suggest avoideing :) [10:26] Dr_Willis: why? [10:26] hi cant seem to scp to my other box but I can ssh to it, no clue what is going on there but could someoen help me figure it out? [10:26] ps: im sure this is the correct syntax scp -P [port] -r [filename] user@....:[/] [10:26] prince_jammys: I'm not sure that is the problem for andy17null [10:26] ShapeShifter499: ive not even heard much about it in ages. and it was never that good in the first place.. [10:26] oh hey my executable was 32 bit on a 64 bit system [10:26] calebH: why not? [10:26] Is google earth freezing a common problem? [10:26] I'm running 64bit and I could run that tool, just fine [10:26] ia32-libs allegedly will fix this [10:27] ShapeShifter499: best bet to stick with the normal ubuntu and install what apps you need. and not jump around mixxing in 4+ different spinoffs [10:27] Padhu: on one of the boxes (the one i want to send to I turned off firewall still nada [10:27] maybe he needs the 32bit libs [10:27] andy17null: yup [10:27] damn straight i did [10:27] works like a charm [10:27] ty all [10:27] Dr_Willis: ok [10:28] flyman: haven't encountered any power issues and there aren't any to my knowledge. [10:28] Pirate_Hunter: Through Proxy server? [10:28] shoss: so other then the errors for acpi are you having any system issues? [10:29] i've got a problem with unetbootin. the image is copied to another destination in /media. my usb device is /dev/sdb1 mounted @ /media/PKBACK but when I select /dev /sdb1 in unetbootin the files are copied to /media/PKBACK00432. why is this second location created, and how can I get passed this problem? [10:29] andy17null: enjoy [10:29] can i just copy the files over, will it still be bootable? [10:30] flyman: I only main problem (ubuntu 9.04 amd64) is with the slow USB transfer rates, really, and I'm just going through all error msgs so maybe it will fix it.. [10:30] TheTom: perhaps Unmount the thing first? [10:30] Dr_Willis: before what? i've unmounted it several times, same thing happens [10:31] flyman: I gave up on trying to solve it directly been trying for a week [10:31] TheTom: ive nevre had that issue with unetbootin here. - i do find the ubuntu usb-disk creator tool works better for me for Ubuntu disks. [10:31] flyman: i can't find any clear answers to that issue anywhere [10:31] TheTom: unmount it and remove the /media/pkback directory perhaps? [10:32] Padhu: guess i aint awake yet the lan address was missing the third octave no clue how I didnt spot that after three attempts, wel using debug mode helped in the end :'s [10:32] Dr_Willis: copied the files over now, it's loading the /ubninit now. maybe it'll work this time. [10:32] good night all [10:32] shoss try sudo lsusb -t [10:32] that will dump the physical usb device [10:32] hireachy [10:32] nice, I see the eeebuntu logo now.

After running initrd to mount lvm disks, it justs hangs indefinitely. udevd is complaining before that. how to find out what is wrong?

[10:35] Araneidae: thanks [10:35] flyman: unmounted [10:35] calebH: Great, thanks [10:35] newproggie: you can learn a lot more about apt-get and/or aptitude by running "man aptitude" or "man apt-get" [10:35] Dr_Willis: yeah i no, but i tried it already and this laptop really needz something light, so will i be able to boot puppylinux or dsl live from a usb? [10:35] sambagirl: very old, not supported anymore [10:35] calebH: Is there a difference between apt and aptitude? [10:36] i know but it works [10:36] IpSe_DiXiT: if that laptop can boot from usb.. yes [10:36] they sent me a whole box of cd';s for all platforms way back then [10:36] newproggie: I would also recommend using aptitude in place of apt-get. Much more control [10:36] shoss ok unplug the device. now type sudo lsusb -t again and then plug the device back in [10:36] what is a nice tool to view systemlog tail to your background? I can't find it... [10:36] that was when bob2 and seveas worked here.

My Ubuntu came with Mono JIT compiler 2.0.1, which I don't think is latest. [10:38] hello [10:38] bbl [10:38] sambagirl, hmmm....does it give any specific errors? [10:39] Where, by which organisation, and for what purpose was Ubuntu created? [10:39] what is a good tool to view syslog tail to your background? I can't find any... [10:39] flyman: all done.. now what? [10:39] jez, #mono [10:39] once plugged back in, make sure it auto-mounted and then test it out [10:39] dhuski sure it says it needs to download 8.04.1 but that is the wubi that was in the 8.04.3 iso directory [10:39] so go figure [10:39] cya [10:40] Dhuski: USA, Canonical Ltd., to provide an up-to-date, stable operating system for the average user, with a strong focus on usability and ease-of-installation.

[10:53] najjems: aptitude [10:53] shoss: Buy a newer and faster thumb drive .... [10:53] thnx! [10:53] anyway, bigpoppa told me that it may be because I lacking some patches that will support the kernel [10:53] i'm kinda lost there [10:53] Nitrodist, they seem to have a different output while both do the same job... [10:53] ok so as long as it's not the OS i'm all god :) [10:54] good* [10:54] Dhuski, I know that sometimes they will conflict with each other. apt-get wouldn't let me reinstall kdm or any packages associated with kdm until I used aptitude. [10:54] Dhuski: aptitude will tend to be more verbose, and offer more control to do things like install, remove, and/or purge packages in a single command [10:54] I'm asking because i'm using a mail forwarding service, and i want to know if the store sends catalogs. [10:55] hi all. anyone knows if there's a php 5.3 package out somewhere for ubuntu 9.04 ? [10:55] Dhuski: you can learn quite a bit about the differences by reading the man pages for apt-get and aptitude [10:55] i'm following this set of instructions --> http://www.howtoforge.com/kernel_compilation_ubuntu [10:55] calebH, Nitrodist, thanks guys [10:56] Prohibited: any luck?

(e.g. 32bit instead of 64bit) [11:02] morning [11:03] is there a command to place after warsow to disble the 3d ? [11:03] stefg: there's only one archive given on that page... [11:03] u think its about composite [11:04] jacquesdupontd: you mean disable the 3d desktop - run the game.. reenable the 3d desktop stuff? [11:04] yep [11:04] i was used to do it before [11:04] jacquesdupontd: metacity --replace && game && compiz --replace [11:04] just by an arg but can't remember [11:04] or similer. [11:05] yeah but yeah. [11:05] :) [11:05] i don't think he will wait the game close for the compiz --replace [11:05] make a script that waits.. i guess..

[11:06] Why ubuntu lock "root" and use "sudo" to protect the system? Is there any detailed discussion? Every time I type sudo in ubuntu, my colleagues laugh at me. I argued "it's safter." but I am not so sure because we are programmers and we have to use "root" priority very often, so it doesn't make much different for me to root and non-root user. [11:06] jacquesdupontd: i wouldent think the GAME would have anything to do with disableing desktop features [11:07] no but about launching it in another way i guess [11:07] (back to mono) did this get fixed yet? [11:07] ablmf: i dont see why 'progamers' have to use 'root priorty' very often.. actually.... [11:07] ablmf: theres proberly forum threads/flamefests on the topic. [11:07] !root | ablmf [11:07] ablmf: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [11:08] sudo has more usses then just 'a extra word you type to get root access' [11:08] sudo passwd root?

OSS is now working after I changed the model parameter to something more fitting [11:12] steven__: Not exactly... Kubuntu and Ubuntu are made by the same company. Mint to Ubuntu, or Ubuntu to Debian, would be more like that. [11:12] iwzw761,i did that with a jpeg photo and the archive was about 400 mb [11:12] cgroza: tar does not compress [11:12] steven__: Stevelinux, if you want.

[11:16] OK, Well fact is (Just as an example) I want to remove Pidgin from the "applications" menu, What do I delete? [11:16] Darkedge: use the menu editor and remove it - is the easy way [11:16] that removes it for that ONE user.. and it stays there via the command line if you need it [11:16] How can I view my syslog? [11:16] or wannt to add it back [11:16] :/ Menu editor? [11:17] what if you uncheck it so that it just is invisible? [11:17] then if you need it later it's still there [11:17] Darkedge: System -> Preferences -> Main Menu [11:17] Darkedge: yes. theres a menu editor - right click on the applocations menu and look [11:17] Darkedge: you don't delete anything yourself, but keep you hands off of package managers business. Right-click instead on the Menu, choose edit an uncheck the boox before the menu-entry. it will be hidden tehn [11:17] How can I view my syslog?

Raphi974, I'm sure if you need help, then it's a really bad idea! [11:53] My understanding of the alphas is that they *will* break [11:53] das_steb: so pull out the harddisk and use another computer for your rescueing attempts. you won't get anywhere if you have no drive to boot from (or maybe use a bootable USB thumb drive) [11:53] Araneidae, it's just that no upgrades are proposed.... why ? I never had problems with upgrades [11:53] Well, it's *not* an upgrade, yet, is it? [11:53] It's a breakage! [11:53] alpha aint anything to be upgraded to. [11:53] * Araneidae avoids alphas [11:54] alias "warsowcompiz"='metacity --replace && /usr/games/warsow --quiet' doesnt works [11:54] It will cause you much hassle if you dont know what your doing.

[11:54] courpse, I know [11:54] jacquesdupontd: What is wrong with running warsow while compiz is running? [11:54] Raphi974: how are you trying to do the upgrade? [11:54] it freeze for me [11:54] courpse, i'm using ubuntu since 6.06... never had problems to upgrade [11:54] dunno why [11:55] Raphi974, it's *NOT* an upgrade [11:55] jacquesdupontd: ah, probably fixed in karmic [11:55] firecrotch, i tried "update-manager -d" and "do-release-update -d" but nothing... [11:55] Raphi974: you have not experienced upgrades like I did in 7.10 to 8.04 [11:55] Araneidae, can't update to Karmic Alpha ? [11:55] Raphi974: #ubuntu+1 [11:56] Well, expect you can install it ... if you look in the right place, re what Amaranth just said [11:56] i donwnloaded compiz-witch [11:56] speaking of karmic how is the latest release? [11:57] and i putted 'compiz-swith && /usr/games/warsow --quiet' and it works then when i quit i have to launch compiz-switch shortcut and all is back [11:57] and its launching perfectly warsow [11:57] thx for trying to help [11:57] Raphi974: Ok, if I were having the same problem and felt like messing around, I would edit my sources.list, changing jaunty to karmic everywhere, and then sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade. Be warned however that this will probably break everything, especially GRUB, considering that Karmic uses GRUB2 [11:57] Gosh: 9.10 *is* offered as an upgrade. Scary [11:57] btw when is karmic final out ? [11:57] !karmic | jacquesdupontd [11:57] jacquesdupontd: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 29th, 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [11:58] firecrotch, that's the way i don't wanna try.... [11:58] great [11:58] editing the sources.list isn't sooo happy for this upgrade [11:58] `update-manager -c -d` offers it [11:58] jacquesdupontd: beta release is in a couple days [11:58] I tried it a few weeks back [11:58] Amaranth, can you tell me few new features or upgrades interesting ? [11:58] jacquesdupontd: new compiz? :) [11:58] really ? [11:58] :) [11:59] Amaranth: what's new about it? i'm on karmic and can't see any difference [11:59] Raphi974: Well, if you're feeling especially adventurous, I would say to go for it [11:59] settings for compiz must have been implanted more easily i hope we can customise from the beginning [11:59] unimatrix: just fixing bugs [11:59] Raphi974: Like I said though, it'll probably break EVERYTHING [12:00] unimatrix: there's some cool subtle things [12:00] firecrotch, i'm not that adventurous [12:00] Amaranth, you've seen my command do you think i could tell in the command to relaunche compiz-switch after warsow is closed [12:00] Not that it wouldn't be possible to resolve all the breakage, but that's definitely best left to the experts [12:00] It's ok, it works now [12:00] i2v8an: like what? i'm eager to try them out :D [12:00] and i putted 'compiz-swith && /usr/games/warsow --quiet' [12:01] Raphi974: Now you've got me wanting to do it just to try it out [12:01] see how badly I can break things [12:01] firecrotch, that was the point :p [12:01] firecrotch: it's easier to just do individual package installs from karmic [12:01] jacquesdupontd: sure [12:01] but update-manager -c -d works now [12:01] Amaranth, tell me what should be the command [12:02] once I upgraded all at just the way you described and it kind of got stuck in a bad in between spot [12:02] jacquesdupontd: just compiz & [12:02] unimatrix: for startes intel graphics support [12:02] i would like a sort of 'compizswitch && /usr/games/warsow --quiet &&when warsow is closed && compizswitch' [12:02] i2v8an, that's why i want to try it [12:03] unimatrix: oh yeah, huge improvements to the ati and intel drivers. nvidia is still bad though [12:03] you didn't understood me [12:03] me being an intel graphics user I actually depend on the 2.6.31-9 kernel [12:03] jacquesdupontd: metacity --replace && /usr/games/warsow --quiet && while pidof warsow &> /dev/null; do sleep 1; done && compiz --replace [12:03] i want compizswitch to be launched after warsow's closed [12:03] i2v8an, what distro ?

[12:03] perfect [12:03] Amaranth, i2v8an: the "Reflection" effect still gets drawn on the window shadows, i wish they would fix that already [12:03] ubuntu 9.04 [12:03] Gravity thx [12:03] gonna trye [12:04] i2v8an, so you installed the 2.6.31 kernel.... any improvment in Intel support ? [12:04] how i can make a user to root ? (cans use of sudo and su command) please help me [12:04] and I wanted firefox 3.5 that was actually called 3.5 not shiretoko so I upgraded a ton of things by changing the jaunty to karmic in the /etc/apt/source.list [12:04] Mohammad[B]: sudo -s [12:04] unimatrix: is there a bug filed? :) [12:04] jacquesdupontd: But I really think this would be enough: metacity --replace && /usr/games/warsow --quiet && compiz --replace [12:04] grawity, how set root to a user for using of this command ? [12:05] unitmatrix: what version of the alpha is this? [12:05] Mohammad[B]: You have to edit /etc/sudoers file.

I just checked the dates on the files and they are all after the reboot [12:19] adante: without fstab entry you need to be root. check the mount options for nfs how to specify that (although you're running as root) the user/pass credentials [12:20] grawity, doesn't works :( [12:20] jacquesdupontd: Ah, forgot to chmod +x the script.

[14:06] stefg: with me its the latter [14:07] quit [14:07] \quit [14:07] karmic question: how to reset X config? was running fglrx and after a 9.10 install, I think X is broken. [14:07] hevalbaranov: It's /quit [14:07] grawity: thanks :) [14:09] * stefg misses some obfuscated awk code in the pipe of grawity's command ... [14:10] ok stefg have changed fstab do I need to restart or? === Whitor_ is now known as Whitor [14:11] basajaun: might be a good idea, since i don't know the hal/dbus implications of not doing so [14:11] how i can resolve this problem ? :-s please help me http://paste.ubuntu.com/279587/ [14:11] I am using saned to try and make my scanner network available. it isn't working :( do I need to edit the udev rules to make it go properly?

[14:11] how i can resolve this problem ? with transmission i can download torrents :-s please help me http://paste.ubuntu.com/279587/ [14:12] I have a dell mini 9. Is it better to install UNR with a generic kernel or lpia? [14:12] ok stefg back in a min [14:13] can I change the size of the partition that Ubuntu is using after I have installed it? [14:14] Jaycob: sure, boot to live cd and resize, if its just been instlled you may as well just reinstall with better partitions [14:14] ok [14:14] bluespace: î'd use i386. lpia has no real benefits currently, but you might run into problems if you need /that/ certain .deb which is only available for i386 (not lpia) then no --force-architecture is needed [14:14] Jaycob: if there is data you need, make sure your backups are recent incase something goes wrong [14:14] Jaycob: generally yes.. but you will have to boot from a CD or something as you can't resize an ext3 partition while in use. [14:15] ActionParsnip: ok, thanks [14:15] !lpia [14:15] Sorry, I don't know anything about lpia [14:16] mo0nykit: low power intel architecture [14:16] epic name for the atom platform [14:16] stefg, thanks! we should add that to ubottu's "brain" :) [14:17] stefg, thanks [14:18] hi, can anyone here help me out with something? [14:18] !anyone | airman00 [14:18] airman00: 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? [14:19] I do ./configure to configure this library, but I get the following error checking vector usability.... no , checking vector presence.. no , configure:error STL header file not detected [14:20] What are you trying to compile, airman00? [14:20] libRoadNav - this GPS library [14:20] so maybe you should ask them XD [14:20] Nitrodist: That's not helpful. [14:20] airman, you need vector format support, by the sounds of it [14:21] hi, can somebody help me? I don't know how to determine the architecture of my Core 2 Duo -_- [14:21] yep I know that, and but I can't find which package is right for me to install [14:21] is this #ubuntu or is this #POSIX-Applications [14:21] ImNotDead_yet: x86_64 [14:21] airman00: You're missing some dependencies; I don't have a Jaunty box available, but have you looked to see if it's already available in the repositories? [14:21] thx [14:21] stefg no change shall repeat step one so you can maybe see something? [14:21] nitrodist, use /topic [14:22] I looked, and installed something that seemed like it would give me support , but it did not [14:22] Two4, and? [14:22] this is #ubuntu [14:22] I see many ubuntu links and yet no links to random libraries [14:22] What's better for a server? Ext4, or JFS? [14:22] airman00: installed build-essential ? look in to installing boost dev packages [14:22] how can i prevent firefox to go to google when i type incorrect address? [14:22] basajaun: yup ... pastebin is patient :-) [14:23] The2morrowMan: i would go with ext4; jfs is in legacy mode [14:23] @erSUL - yea I have GCC [14:23] Their documentation certainly isn't very useful, airman00 --- as erUSUL says, do you have build-essential installed? [14:23] http://pastebin.com/f1cfe77ae [14:23] airman00: he said build-essential, not gcc [14:23] http://pastebin.com/m58ba65de ......? [14:24] The2morrowMan: for a production server it'S either ext3 or xfs. everything else is asking for trouble sooner or later [14:24] I am using saned to try and make my scanner network available. it isn't working :( do I need to edit the udev rules to make it go properly? I have followed the step in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ScanningHowTo [14:24] mgv1, about:config, then filter for 'keyword' and check keyword.enabled to false [14:24] I twitch at XFS. I don't have an UPS on this machine, yet. I guess it's ext3. [14:24] mgv1, also, #firefox [14:25] neil_d: does it work locally? [14:25] airman00: have you tried the Ubuntu i386 .deb package. it says its for Gutsy but it looks like it will still install http://roadnav.sourceforge.net/downloads.php [14:25] LjL: yes === Zuwer_ is now known as Zuwer [14:26] HELP ME [14:26] I'm trying to compile from source [14:26] neil_d: is "net" uncommented in /etc/san/dll.conf ?

[14:26] !ask [14:26] 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. :-) [14:26] neil_d: the server [14:26] errr [14:26] dope- build-essential fixed it. Thanks! [14:26] basajaun: looks ok so far. so what doesn't work? [14:27] stefg, Isn't XFS a little dangerous? Null-padded files and such? [14:27] SharpRain, pm? [14:27] i removed wine in ad/remove function in ubunto9 , but it stil there in menus . how to delete it from menus [14:27] I installed all this crap, like tor, pipora, vidalia, etc [14:27] and Tor [14:27] !enter | SharpRain [14:27] SharpRain: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [14:27] adonai2009: right click on ubuntu icon -> edit menu [14:27] LjL: yes [14:27] SharpRain: try a new user - see if the menus come back for them [14:27] I then used sudo apt-get remove on them all, but there are remnants off them and I can't reinstall it all without errors. [14:28] neil_d: clueless question - have you checked firewall rules? recent versions of ubuntu may (or may not) come with some of those. i don't really know because i'm still on hardy. === NCommander is now known as abb [14:28] http://pastebin.com/m58ba65de .......?? [14:28] sefg I isert a dvd and nothing shows up at all this is for sr0 [14:29] LjL: I don't have any ufw setup.. and syslog on the server seems to indicate that saned is receive the connect and accepting it. [14:29] it dont work , i click remove there and nothing happpen it . === abb` is now known as NCommander [14:29] The2morrowMan: if you're crazy enough to run a heavy loaded database server without UPS... yeah, then it might be a bit dangerous. in all other cases chances are minimal that your metadata got written but your actual data not when the power cut out... i use xfs for a while now on my medium busy file servers in my company and found it very useable, esp. online-resize capability in conjunction... [14:29] ...with lvm [14:30] jrib , i click remove on wine menu and nothing happens . [14:30] neil_d: and, while you seem to know what you're doing well enough to not be caught by this... i assume that instead of the "192.168.1.0/24" that the howto mentions, you have put in whatever mask actually applies for your network? [14:30] adonai2009: run alacarte from a terminal and look for interesting output [14:30] does someone has success with Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g (rev 01) on jaunty? [14:30] adonai2009: removing 'wine' does NOT uninstall any of your wine apps.. and those get 'added to the menus' by some .desktop files in the users home dir. [14:30] do i need any special burn settings when burning the ubuntu image on a disk? [14:31] stefg, I'll give it a try, then. Thanks. [14:31] Jaycob: its reccomended to burn it at as low a speed as you can [14:31] anyone able to help? ... http://pastebin.com/m58ba65de [14:31] Jaycob: people usually say slower is better, but that's about it [14:31] LjL: well as matter of fact 192.168.1.0/24 is correct for my network. [14:31] stefg here another paste bin both cd drives with a dvd one shows in menu the other not http://pastebin.com/f5f04f072 [14:31] ok, thanks [14:31] neil_d: can you pastebin exacty what syslog has to say when a client connects? [14:32] DR_willis i first uninstall all wine apps , then i removed wine , and now by right click to acess menu deletes , i cant delete wine menu from bar . [14:32] LjL: is this it "linux saned[2102]: init: access granted to saned-user@192.168.1. [14:32] 36" [14:32] adonai2009: use the menu editor tool. or find those desktop files i your users home dir [14:32] neil_d: and that's it? no "disconnected" later? [14:32] basajaun: try to replace /dev/scd0 and /dev/scd1 with /dev/sr0 and /dev/sr1 in /etc/fstab [14:33] Dr_Willís do you know where tey use to be ? [14:33] adonai2009: just a guess.. from exporeing my users home dir.. (which you may want todo also) [14:33] ~/.config/menus/applications-merged [14:33] stfg ok will try that [14:33] adonai2009: if theres some program like bubbagames in your wine.. try looking for somthing cvalled bubbagames.desktop [14:34] yes ok ... now work , the menu was lock [14:34] bstfg but one disk shows now, anyway Ill try [14:34] LjL: here is everything http://paste.ubuntu.com/279616/ [14:35] other thing iam trying to do is import my favortes of mozzila in windows to favorites in ubuntu , since iam using itsa and ubuntu in same computer [14:35] adonai2009: i find it easier to use some online-bookmark keeper extension. [14:35] when i try to click import in moziilla it says it dont find nothing to import [14:35] The2morrowMan: and since you were considering ext4: man, THAT'S dangerous, xfs is solid as a brick compared to taht [14:35] adonai2009: export it in windows transfer the file to ubuntu import them there === desti is now known as PIRATEN_ [14:35] stefg, I wasn't sure how stable ext4 was considered. === PIRATEN_ is now known as PIRATEN_AENDERHA [14:36] LjL: just double checked the scanner locally it is going. [14:36] FloridaGuy: i don't know, but to me that seems like a bug with compiz-fusion-plugin-extras post- or preinst file. it's looking for things to remove, but it finds none, so it returns failure, and tell APT it failed to configure even when it has [14:36] i will try erUSUL === PIRATEN_AENDERHA is now known as PIRATAENDERHAKEN [14:36] !xfs [14:36] xfs is a high-performance journaling filesystem originally developped by Silicon Graphics for their IRIX OS. It is now fully supported by Linux so you can install Ubuntu on it if you wish. More info at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XFS [14:36] see you in minutes [14:36] adonai2009: there are two filetypes. html and json try with both [14:36] neil_d: and what does the client say? [14:37] LjL, it was like that sence install yesterday [14:37] LjL: xsane puts up a dialog saying "no devices available" [14:37] The2morrowMan: still unresolved data loss issues... because POSIX theory and developers and their reality are two different things === wet-chan is now known as wet [14:38] neil_d: wait, do you have "net" enabled on the *clients* in /etc/sane.d/dll.conf? i know i said server earlier, but, i'm having a sudden doubt. [14:38] LjL: the server is a i386 kernel and the client is a amd64 kernel. [14:38] can anybody recommend a good web cam for Ubuntu? I can't get any of my logitech quick cams to work properly. [14:38] !webcam [14:38] Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [14:38] LjL: I checked it seems it was enable by default on both machines. [14:39] hey, after an update recently my xserver is acting weir, no true transparency for my terminal (just the bg image) and all my movie players quit with an error (presumably) from the X server "X11 error: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)" [14:40] neil_d: i'm slightly out of ideas. one thing, since ubuntu seems to come with virtually all backends enabled in dll.conf, perhaps try disabling all but the one you actually need... they might be confusing each other. although that'd be unlikely since it works locally. [14:40] LjL, if i try removing all of compiz here's what i get..... E: compiz-fusion-plugins-extra: subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 2 [14:40] Hello all, I am connecting my Ps3controller by using USB to my pc Running Ubuntu 9.04 dmesg reconizes the controller correctly as a PS3 controller at /dev/input/js0 but any callibration app i use comes out with 0 results. Anyone got any idea? === ZAHER is now known as Guest69382 [14:41] LjL: I will try on the client. [14:41] LjL: on the client I would only need the 'net' backend corrent? [14:41] sometime when i have problem with Internet connection my firefox become dark and stop working how i can disable this stupid feature [14:41] FloridaGuy: yes, that's to be expected. i haven't found a bug report about that (strangely). you can work around that by putting an "exit 0" line in the preinst or postinst script, i'll try to find out what its name is [14:42] neil_d: i think so, yes [14:42] Hello, can you tell me please, how fix this http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/6273/snmekobrazovkynovacinem.png ? When i watch normal TV, it is ok, but when i plug the antenn to usb tuner, the screen flashes.. :/ [14:42] LjL, ok [14:42] i am trying to acces my router (ssh) from outside my local network , however either my router or my isp is blocking the requests , i added a iptables rule on port 22 and interface ppp0 ( the one with publick ip ) still no luck , how would the isp block it ? [14:43] irc://irc.freenode.net/Bundesradio [14:43] dsf: Very often, routers only allow sshing in from "inside" - from the local network. [14:43] FloridaGuy: the file should be named something like /var/dpkg/info/compiz-fusion-plugins-extra.postinst [14:43] FloridaGuy: see if you have that or something like that [14:44] Anyone using Exaile 0.2.14? It wont retrieve album art for me. [14:44] grawity, Though i have root access to the router ;) , and added a iptable rule it should allow everything [14:44] janhaj: that is no software issue, it's just that the signal gets too weak. [14:44] LjL: I commented out all but 'net' and tried xsane again no difference :( is there and thing in /etc/init.d I should restart? [14:44] LjL, no dpkg under /var [14:44] janhaj: that'S a DVB-T usb tuner, right? [14:45] stefg: ok.. but why in a tv is all ok and with USB tuner no? DVB-T.. [14:45] dsf: It isn't just iptables. On most operating systems - Unix, Windows, derivatives - a program can listen either on _all_ interfaces, or on a _single_ particular interface. [14:45] neil_d: well, usually saned gets started all by itself *at every connection*, so no. but since the tutorial shows that may have been changed in 9.04... perhaps [14:45] FloridaGuy: oh sure, that's /var/lib/dpkg/info [14:45] dsf: So maybe the router's sshd is configured to only bind/listen to eth0 or whatever. [14:45] LjL, i found it there [14:45] what does it mean when my firefox become dark and not active ? [14:46] janhaj: the tiny tuner on the usb-stick isn't as good as the dedicated tuner in your settop box. get a better antenna for the USB [14:46] FloridaGuy: ok, edit it with sudo and your favorite text editor, and put "exit 0" (without quotes) as the last line [14:46] if your X server loses functionality after an update then it is most likely a driver problem ? so how do i install/find drivers for my crappy intel card (on my laptop) ... [14:46] grawity, Im not sure , if you can be asked her is iptables --list and ifcongig http://pastebin.com/m53c8a5d1 , i have drop bear installed il have a look at config file. [14:47] stefg: i use common antenna.. tv and usb tuner has the same antenna.. [14:48] LjL: any more ideas? [14:48] O, how do i go back to a previous version of the xserver ? [14:49] !intel | proc1 [14:49] proc1: Ubuntu 9.04 has a known regression for some Intel graphics support. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/IntelPerformance and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130582 for more information. [14:49] janhaj: yeah... as i said , the TV-Tuner is simply better at filtering out noise. so either you need a better USB receiver or a better antenna to make life easier for the crappy USB stick tuner [14:49] neil_d: by the way, i did get your subtle hint about arch mismatch. but i haven't found any bug report that would confirm anything like that [14:49] stfg no joy, sit is as before only one drives shows and thanks fro your help so far :) [14:49] grawity i tried flushing my iptables and my Internet became very slow and not all pages could open , utterly confused [14:49] LjL, whats exit 0 going to do? [14:49] stefg: ok.. thank you very much :) === resjudicata is now known as pfui [14:49] thx [14:49] the link on help.ubuntu.com to the speedtouch dsl modem's firmware is broken, does anyone have an idea where did that archive go? [14:50] FloridaGuy: the "0" means "successful exit, don't worry about anything". so it's a way to convince your system that the script isn't giving any error (and while that's not always a good idea, i do suspect in this case the errrs are spurious) [14:50] pfui: which modem ? [14:50] hi [14:50] usb speedtouch 330 [14:50] v4 if it matter [14:50] i have a problem with "Adding extension /usr/lib/openoffice/basis3.0/program/mailmerge.py" when i want to install openoffice. my ubuntu ist hanging up :S [14:50] here is the paste of mailmerge.py http://nopaste.com/p/alD1Zlgsm [14:50] pfui: have you tried searching google for the filename ? [14:50] k [14:51] neil_d: on the server, can you scan as user or only as root? [14:51] erUSUL, yup, there are old copies of the file that thomson (parent company) used to distribute, but they're out of date [14:51] LjL: ok. I wasn't trying to be subtle .. but I thought it might be something you might need to know. [14:51] and some were even "modified", I'm not willing to venture my luck with these files [14:51] is there a way to integrate archive extraction into the shell a la winrar context menu in ubuntu? [14:51] LjL: I can scan as a user. [14:52] LjL: thou that user has admin rights. [14:52] neil_d: well, it's perfectly possible that there's some bug in SANE's networking protocol which makes things not be sent the same from a 64bit machine as from a 32bit one... but there's no way i can confirm that (only 32 bit machines here) [14:52] neil_d: by admin rights you mean access to sudo? [14:52] well not so important question. just curiosity - is there any way to change appearance of lock screen in eeebuntu? [14:53] How much RAM can I put into my Ubuntu 9.04 PC? [14:53] diddy: as much as fits in [14:53] diddy, i think as much as it fits inside) [14:53] pfui: i have a backcopy of the firmware files for a speedtouch 330. dunno if it is v4 (i think it is) [14:54] diddy: If the kernel supports PAE - about 64 GB. If it doesn't - 4 GB. [14:54] stefg, nilMe yey but how much can be addressed? [14:54] diddy, grawity: well depends on arch [14:54] erUSUL, the file I'm looking for is ZZZL_3.012 [14:54] diddy: on 64bit? [14:54] hello === ZAHER_ is now known as ZAHER [14:54] diddy, refer to grawity's answer [14:54] I have the normal Ubuntu 32 bit. Can I install 64 bit? [14:55] LjL: yes I do.. just tried via a normal user, and I can still scan so that appear all ok. [14:55] diddy: of course [14:55] diddy: If Ubuntu is 32-bit, but both CPU and Ubuntu support PAE, then 64 GB is the limit. [14:55] neil_d: yeah, i was wondering if maybe saned was running under a user not privileged enough, but in that case it seems unlikel [14:55] pfui: i have the already extracted speedtch* files [14:56] grawity, , stefg , jrib nilMe : I am not sure. I have this motherboard. http://www.newegg.com/product/product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131045 [14:56] you sure it's rev 4? [14:56] neil_d: by the way, it'll be no use in all likelihood, but disable "net" on the server. it's really only needed on the client, where net.conf will list the address of the server [14:56] grawity: i wonder if there's actually a *desktop* mobo that supports more than 16GB hardware-wise on the market [14:56] LjL: could it be that the user that saned uses isn't privilaged enough? [14:56] hello all [14:57] diddy: And CPU? [14:57] any ruby developers here ? [14:57] stefg: what makes a motherboard a "desktop motherboard" [14:57] that use ubuntu? [14:57] stefg: a motherboard is a motherboard [14:57] grawity, core 2 duo [14:57] neil_d: i wouldn't think so. but... can you find out which user it's running under? (it's probably "scanner" or "saned") [14:57] Why does Ubuntu make pgp key importation so complicated? Every time I try to import a pgp key for a PPA, I get an error [14:57] diddy: Anyway, the motherboard has a limit of 8 GB. [14:57] I am using a distro of Linux called Poseidon Linux and in that I am unable to figure out a way of removing the effects of wide-screen distortion [14:57] ActionParsnip: Absence of hardware monotors and marketing decisions :-) [14:57] FeasibilityStudy: its a simple command [14:57] FeasibilityStudy: What key is that? [14:57] Please help me out [14:58] stfg http://pastebin.com/f241b1c5f at the end it says something about read only partition on the drive that is not showing that could be the cause but what can be the remedy ? [14:58] FeasibilityStudy: And what error you get? [14:58] my ~/.config/users-dirs.dirs keeps getting useless folders added (like Videos/Templates) and those folders keep getting created at boot.. how do I remove them? commenting them out or deleting them altogether just makes them reappear on next boot [14:58] poseidon, this channel is about *Ubuntu* support. Ubuntu is a specific linux distribution [14:58] FeasibilityStudy: whats the code you get when you apt-get update [14:58] grawity, but how can I find out whether I can install the 64bit version of Ubuntu 9.04? [14:58] ActionParsnip, as far as I know, a server motherboard is capable of supporting 3 or more network interfaces, whereas the desktop motherboard can only support 2, due to IRQ availability [14:58] Hi, is it possible to rename a bunch of files in a directory using the first line of text in each of the files as the new file name? [14:58] so do I go and access the Poseidon Linux forums to get further help?? [14:58] so stupid [14:58] obg_: with a little scripting... yes [14:58] gpg: WARNING: unsafe ownership on configuration file `/home/me/.gnupg/gpg.conf' [14:58] ubutnu has the rubygems package done so that you can't use it [14:58] what a stupid thing [14:59] FeasibilityStudy: What key do you want to add? [14:59] mo0nykit: i have a desktop PC with 3 NICs in, its an old compaq... [14:59] The one for exaile [14:59] diddy: so if you read the specs the board is maxed out at 8GB, so the limiting factor is not the OS [14:59] diddy: If the CPU supports 64-bit, you can. (Intel Core 2 Duo does have 64-bit.) But it will be mostly useless for you. [14:59] '~$ ls -l /etc/alternatives/editor; lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 2009-01-29 09:03 /etc/alternatives/editor -> /bin/nano'. What programs use the file /etc/alternatives/editor? [14:59] LjL, would you be able to recommend some syntax?

[14:59] I can't get ubuntu to recognize blank cd's. This is a new problem, it worked fine until yesterday. Please help. [14:59] FeasibilityStudy: sudo chown me:me /home/me/.gnupg/gpg.conf [15:00] so is there any way to change a lock screen? just got tired of blue color -_- please does anybody know this?) [15:00] But I could install the 64bit version of Ubuntu and install 8GB of RAM. That would save me from buying a new MB soon, right? [15:00] poseidon: i'd suppose so. i'm not aware of a Poseidon Linux channel on this network. [15:00] LjL: there is a user and group called saned.. which group has scanner priviliges? [15:00] ActionParsnip: I already own it [15:00] hmm [15:00] LjL, great! What if the files are .doc and I want to use antiword to read the first line. Is there a way of fitting this into the equation? [15:00] ActionParsnip: Thats the thing, I own it and am in the group. [15:00] LjL: it is not a very widely known distro. [15:00] neil_d: i don't know, that will change depending on versions. but probably "scanner". perhaps try creating a user not in that group, and scanning. also, see if saned is a member [15:01] poseidon: there is always the ##linux channel, or the even more generic ##freenode [15:01] #freenode, een [15:01] FeasibilityStudy: does your ouput match this: http://pastebin.com/d5d3f4dad [15:01] ActionParsnip, oh.. that means I don't know enough. Just my 2 cents :) [15:01] LjL: do you think that tweaking the display stats in this distro will have the same effects as it would have had in Ubuntu? [15:01] LjL: saned isn't in any group (other than its own). still looking. [15:01] neil_d: still, honestly, i'd expect to see something in syslog if it were a matter of denied permissions [15:02] poseidon: no, i wouldn't think so [15:02] neil_d: is your normal user in scanner? [15:02] mo0nykit: i wasnt getting at you dude :D. I just dont get this spliting of boards into server and desktop. I thik its pretty redundant considering most user PCs are good enough to be servers [15:02] ActionParsnip: -rw------T 1 me me 344 2009-09-16 05:00 /home/me/.gnupg/gpg.conf [15:03] LjL: there doesn't appear to be a group called 'scanner' or anything similar. [15:03] hi everyone, [15:03] FeasibilityStudy: very strange [15:03] I entered the command cat /proc/cpuinfo. Now which line tells me whether I my CPU supports 64bit or not (lets assume grawity hadn't already told me)? [15:03] one of my friend asked me for a version of linux to use, i suggested him to use ubuntu. [15:03] neil_d: see, there's the differences between my Hardy (or my Debian) and your Jaunty. === lukjadOO7 is now known as Guest42619 [15:03] diddy: "model name" [15:03] it is since last one and a half year he is using ubuntu 9. [15:04] diddy: your average box will run perfectly on 2GB of ram .... you will need a new motherboard because you want faster DDR3 ram, 6GB/s sata and USB3 [15:04] bullgard4: try « editor filename.txt » on a terminal [15:04] FeasibilityStudy: theres only 2 lines uncommented in there in mine [15:04] LjL: actually I have just bought a new laptop, and I am running Poseidon on it off a live boot CD. It provides me an option of only 2 resolutions and none of them seem to e taking full advantage of the display screen of the laptop [15:04] diddy: And then - google. [15:04] today he updated his laptop and after a reboot he is unable to get the GUI. [15:04] grawity, model name : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6600 @ 2.40GHz [15:04] neil_d: i'd suggest you disable saned temporarily (from whatever config file you used to enable it, /etc/default/whatitscalled), and manually run saned with "saned -d 128" to see what the heck it's thinking [15:04] FeasibilityStudy: You know what... sudo apt-key adv --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-key (insert exhaile's key ID here) [15:04] LjL: yes.. some consistence would be nice. [15:05] LjL: ok [15:05] i am not much aware about ubuntu, and my frined is 1500km away. so can i have some idea of booting os into runlevel 1, i asked him to modify grub at boot time. [15:05] I can't get ubuntu to recognize blank cd's. This is a new problem, it worked fine until yesterday. Please help. [15:05] LjL: so could you give me a vague idea of what the issue would be? Whether it is a problem with the hardware or the OS?? [15:05] anybody know any good hacking tools? [15:05] Hey I'm trying to run FlightGear CVS on my 9.04 Box (dual boot). The XP counterpart runs flightgear in ok graphics performance ( ~12fps ) but on linux its as low as 2-3 fps [15:05] !ot | phyrrus [15:05] phyrrus: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [15:05] !fixres > poseidon (poseidon, see the private message from ubottu) here's your vague idea, but i have no idea if it would apply to anothre distribtion [15:05] phyrrus: how vague... [15:06] grawity: that worked...But why was it not working earlier? [15:06] what? [15:06] stefg, I am running many virtual machines at the same time, so I could use some more RAM. [15:06] http://www.intel.com/products/processor/core2duo/specifications.htm?iid=prod_core2duo+tab_spec [15:06] phyrrus: vim [15:06] I just wanna know, I am bored [15:06] I have vim [15:06] phyrrus: ok, go learn it [15:06] RS1: configure video settings better or configure your drivers better [15:06] LjL: what the heck... now it goes. [15:06] but thats an editor [15:06] phyrrus: nano is great for hacking code also [15:06] neil_d: really? [15:06] and I know it well [15:06] diddy: yup... ram is cheap, so get some and shove it in [15:06] I mean actual tools [15:06] phyrrus: so pick your favorite project and start hacking... [15:06] neil_d: then it'll be a matter of user privileges, despite all appearances [15:06] phyrrus: try kernel.org [15:07] lol... I am a whitehat. [15:07] LjL: thanks, I shall go and check it out in other chat rooms :) [15:07] How to do that? FYI This is a GMA 900 with 1.2 gigs of memory [15:07] ok shall do [15:07] FeasibilityStudy: Since I have no idea _how_ were you trying to do it earlier - I don't know. [15:07] I can't get ubuntu to recognize blank cd's. This is a new problem, it worked fine until yesterday. Please help. Anyone? [15:07] stefg, are there any disadvantages of using 64bit? If not I would go ahead and install it later on. [15:07] neil_d: what groups is your current user amember of? [15:07] grawity: I was getting the old "bad permissions on gnupg folder" error [15:07] LjL: I ran saned as root then.. I will try again as a user. [15:07] erUSUL: I have done so. -- Thank you. [15:07] FeasibilityStudy: ....I kinda was asking for the commands you were using. [15:08] grawity: http://www.exaile.org/downloads [15:08] Those were the instructions I was following === Whitor is now known as Whi-afk [15:08] stefg: How do you start your Chatzilla program? [15:08] If I tried it their way, I got the "gnupg permissions error" [15:08] diddy: some proprietary packages like flash are not available on (stable) 64bit versions... but doesn't matter, you install 32bit ia-libs and run them in 32bit anyway on 64bit host. [15:08] need help with one dvd drive see end of pasted http://pastebin.com/f241b1c5f [15:08] ActionParsnip: How to do that? FYI This is a GMA 900 with 1.2 gigs of memory [15:09] <^mNotIntelligent> hi all! [15:09] RS1: could add some xorg.conf settings maybe, like the greedy option may help [15:09] stefg, if that is the only drawback then it is not too bad. How about available software? [15:09] hi, i have acer aspire 1410, when i try to play full screen youtube videos its runs too slow, how is possible? i am using flash 10.0 [15:09] LjL: it works if I start it as a user as well... but not when I start via the /etc/init.d/saned script. [15:09] diddy: repos are (99,9%) the same [15:09] ActionParsnip: You'd do me a great favor by telling where is that file and what option to change.. [15:10] bullgard4: firefox -chat [15:10] RS1: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [15:10] neil_d: well what are that user's groups (see it with "groups", guess you know that) [15:10] stefg, thx Is there any other advantage of using 64bit over 32bit other than being able to use more RAM? [15:10] stfg? do I gather you haven seen my last post http://pastebin.com/f241b1c5f ? [15:10] stefg: What is the advantage compared with running it in Seamonkey? [15:11] RS1: try these options: Option "MigrationHeuristic" "greedy" [15:11] RS1: and / or try: Option "AccelMethod" "UXA" [15:11] ActionParsnip: Where do I put those? (Sorry I'm a noob) [15:11] well that's funny... netstat -putan show just - under the process name that is listening on a port... what does that mean and how do i free the port up ? [15:11] RS1: in the section that says: Driver "intel" [15:12] diddy: everything is faster, bigger and makes you your life easier..:-) PAE is some sort of hack to extend the address space, 64bit just has one large address space (as it should be)... Aesthetical reasons ... [15:12] MrNaz: Are you running netstat as root (with sudo)? [15:12] stefg in any case it mentions a udf partiton marked read only === ShadowChild is now known as lukjad007 [15:12] MrNaz: Also, try sudo fuser -n tcp [15:13] basajaun: that'S right [15:13] ActionParsnip: This is all the file has and no option called intel: http://pastebin.com/m7ff8d0ff [15:13] LjL: saned belong to no groups [15:13] I can't get ubuntu to recognize blank cd's. This is a new problem, it worked fine until yesterday. Please help. Anyone? [15:13] neil_d: you mentioned that, but i wanted to know the groups that *your* user (the one you now used to start saned) belongs to [15:13] RS1: in the section on line 22 [15:13] neil_d: to get an idea which groups might be the ones needed for saned to work [15:14] I don't understand I never had these problems with windows. [15:14] neil_d: you could also login to the "saned" user yourself and run saned from there, to double-check (with, uhm, "sudo -l saned" if i'm not too mistaken) [15:14] RS1: like this: http://pastebin.com/df069a22 [15:14] LjL: adm,dialout,cdrom,sudo,plugdev,lpadmin,admin,sambashare [15:14] could anyone help with some sound card troubleshooting? [15:15] neil_d: i'd give saned "plugdev" and perhaps "lpadmin", if i had to guess. which i do. [15:15] Ingsoc: sudo hal-disable-polling --enable-polling --device /dev/scd0 , then sudo invoke-rc.d hal restart, then log out and back. What happens? [15:15] LjL: tried that.. wasn't allowed to login the passwd has the '/bin/false' in it. maybe I should change that. [15:16] neil_d: oh uhm, i thought sudo would allow you to get in anyway [15:16] ActionParsnip: Now reboot? [15:16] c4g: sudo lshw -C sound will tell yuo what it is [15:16] RS1: this is linux, reboting is rare [15:16] LjL: it might be because the listed 'home' directory doesn't exist [15:16] neil_d: try with "sudo su - saned" instead [15:16] RS1: just save your current work then press alt+printscrn+k [15:16] neil_d: nah it's just me not knowing the right sudo syntax for that [15:18] stefg: Trying it now here is response from first two commands: Following symlink from /dev/scd0 to /dev/sr0. [15:18] Polling is already enabled on the given drive.

[15:20] How is the best of the best doing today? [15:20] grawity: LjL: now that worked. [15:20] I am sure that in a few minutes I will break something and have a few questions [15:20] stefg: What is the advantage compared with running it in Seamonkey? [15:20] neil_d: you just need to convince it to use bash [15:20] So Stay tuned! [15:20] stefg: Did not work [15:21] how can i configure my left mouse click to make it dubleclick or triple? [15:22] Ingsoc: does cat /etc/fstab | grep /dev/sc return something ? [15:22] hi, anyone know a tool I can install that when my cpu goes above a certain temperature, automatically lowers the cpu speed to 800Mhz ? [15:22] /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0 [15:23] cause for some situations, firefox starts freaking out, really badly, sometimes when I am not even at my computer, then I return home, to find the system fans blowing on full, for I dont know how long and my cpu at 99% [15:23] LjL: 'saned -d 128' as the user saned... make the client hang. [15:23] it sounds a stupid situation to occur, that linux would allow my system to run so hot for so long, obviously damaging the system [15:23] Ingsoc: ok, so polling is enabled and you have a fstab entry... sudo apt-get install pastebinit && dmesg | pastebinit , post the link you get in here [15:24] hello, when i'm playing music with mpd through pulse output, if i switch to a different virtual window, f.e from the normal f7 to f8 sound stops playing, i assume the same is with other sound outputs, what's causing this? [15:24] hi [15:24] i would like to make a script that put my tv screen on when i want and put it to disable when i want also is it easy ? [15:25] like nvidia-settings is doing but as a command or a script [15:25] neil_d: if i were an engineer, i'd say "that's interesting" [15:25] stefg: http://pastebin.com/f57d3a1be [15:26] k [15:26] hi, i have acer aspire 1410, when i try to play full screen youtube videos its runs too slow, how is possible? i am using flash 10.0 [15:26] i have intel gma 4500mhd + flash 10.0 and youtube fullscreen videos are veeery slow [15:27] HaRDaWaY: is your cpu 64bit? [15:27] !intel | HaRDaWaY [15:27] HaRDaWaY: Ubuntu 9.04 has a known regression for some Intel graphics support. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/IntelPerformance and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130582 for more information. [15:27] LjL: there where two saned instances running as user saned.. I killed them.. then saned ran ok as saned. but it didn't allow the client to connect properly. [15:28] ActionParsnip, yes, its a intel core2solo SU3500 (64 bits) [15:28] HaRDaWaY: and is your ubuntu 64bit? [15:28] no, my ubuntu is 32 bit version [15:28] neil_d: i'm quite clueless. does the debug output from -d 128 at least say anything vaguely interesting? [15:28] HaRDaWaY: ok thats fine, have you tried this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReinhardTartler/X/RevertingIntelDriverTo2.4 [15:29] Ingsoc: so on the lower level everythig seems right, the system knows your DVD-Drive, polling is on, fstab has an entry. Does /media/cdrom0 exist as a directory? [15:29] no, i dont try it, i'm going to try it now, thanks ActionParsnip [15:29] after upgrading ubuntu 8.04 to 9 i am unable to get my display :( [15:29] LjL: no error reported. something curious every time it run I get "do_bindings: [1] bind failed: Address already in use" even when it work properly allowing me to scan. [15:30] stefg: Yes it's there. In media I have cdrom and cdrom0 [15:30] i am getting black display which is not showing up anything :) [15:30] neil_d: that would usually mean that another instance of it is already running [15:30] i can get to single user mode. [15:30] Ingsoc: so what happens if you open brasero and tell it to write to a CD ? [15:30] neil_d: are you sure you've actually disabled the automatically-starting one? [15:30] what should i do now? [15:31] i am unable to use my ubuntu anymore as i can not get display. [15:31] any idea? [15:31] r15: boot to recovery and select fix graphics [15:32] r15: or boot to root recovery console and edit xorg.conf to set the driver to vesa [15:32] stefg: It says to insert a disc, when there is already a blank one in there. I have tried 3 different types of blank cd, no difference. The drive recognizes discs with data on them withou a problem [15:32] just a moment. doing it [15:33] LjL: fairly sure.. the line in /etc/inet.conf is commented out. and when I don't start anything nothing appears in the syslog. [15:33] Ingsoc: Could be be a firmware issue with that drive [15:34] might sount stupid but is there any way i can just revet my system back to base [15:34] i really messed something up [15:34] stefg: Why would it all of a sudden be a problem? This drive worked fine yesteday, I was burning live cds without issue.

[15:37] Ingsoc: i see it in dmesg... my question is: can the hardware be broken [15:37] i guess it just takes an outside view [15:37] is there anyone in here that knows something about intel graphics drivers on netbooks (specifically the eee pc 1101 ha); im asking because im not quite sure if ive configured it optimally as it is [15:37] Gratz474: What's the problem? [15:37] neil_d: i hav no clue why. might be just threading, but the "cannot bind" thing leads one to think the address is already taken by another instance [15:37] is there any way i can just revert everything to a base system arand ? [15:37] stefg: Works fine under windows (dual boot system) [15:37] neil_d: anyway, have you tried giving the saned user the plugdev group?

[15:38] r15: vesa is a failsafe driver [15:38] How to use wine? [15:38] does anyone know if the newer flash will run on firefox in ubuntu [15:38] neil_d: if you feel like - but you can also just do "adduser saned plugdev" [15:38] r15: weird, ok get the line out [15:38] henryfranz2005: sudo apt-get install wine [15:38] BWARG, how about restart? [15:38] Gratz474: In which way? How should it be different from a reinstall? [15:39] you have to LOL when the supposed vesa driver doesnt work properly [15:39] henryfranz2005: then rightclick the exe and select "run with wine" [15:39] Should i place wine on a different partition?

[15:46] BWARG: link? [15:47] ActionParsnip: it was ok yesterday its nameserver is 192.168.0.10 [15:47] http://pastebin.com/m3df2d170 [15:47] LjL: trying something similar. hang on a minute.

[15:48] ActionParsnip: if i set it to dhcp and connect to my dhcp server it is ok, but if i connect it directly to the modem and assign a static ip it won't ping hostnames [15:48] jrivera: its one of verizons DNS servers which will help resolve external IPs [15:48] ActionParsnip: product: mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controlle [15:49] i have the above line two times. [15:49] r15: try this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReinhardTartler/X/RevertingIntelDriverTo2.4 [15:50] ok just a moment, should i comment out Driver "vesa" line, it showed me something atleast beside a black screen without any option :( [15:50] r15: yeah i'd comment it out [15:50] hello,how do i compress a file via terminal? [15:50] i tryed google but nothing worked [15:50] Does anyone know if downloading a lot would slow down a router... Like would the router burn out from doing it a lot? [15:51] r15: you can apply the guide in root recovery console :) [15:51] ok just a moment [15:51] cgroza [15:51] http://linux.about.com/od/commands/l/blcmdl1_gzip.htm [15:51] first result in a google search [15:52] thanks [15:53] I upgraded to 9.10 alpha a few days ago, now Xorg is using 400mb ram. What's up with that? [15:53] ActionParsnip: root recovery console is from grub? at the boot time? [15:53] indeed [15:54] dv-: expected breakage, also goto #ubuntu+1 [15:54] !karmic | dv- [15:54] dv-: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 29th, 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [15:54] ActionParsnip: it asks to source list update, whereas my networking is not working, [15:54] rsk, joaopinto thanks [15:54] I need help sharing a printer from my Ubuntu 9.04 to a Microsuck Vista machine. I can share to other Ubuntu machines just not Vista [15:55] hi [15:55] so stfg what shall I do now give up? [15:55] earlier i had wifi configured on my laptop. can i bypass this option of source updates? to get to root recovery console === sysop is now known as Guest1332 [15:56] sorry so stefg what shall I do now give up [15:57] ActionParship: this laptop is of my friend and he is around 1500km away from my place. i suggested him to use ubuntu around 1 and a half year back. [15:57] basajaun: i still have no clear information on what doesn't work [15:59] r15: hmm, not so good [15:59] The ability to change the shortcut for the Gnome Run Application dialog seems to have gone missing in Karmic current (from the default F2). [15:59] !9.10 [15:59] The shortcut itself doesn't appear in the Keyboard Shortcuts customization window any more. [15:59] Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 29th, 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [15:59] i guess he told me about the wiki link which you gave. [15:59] just a moment. [15:59] I just created a USB startup drive that (presumably) has an entire install image for Jaunty. I can boot to the USB drive, but the install program is still looking for the installation packages on the DVD drive. Why is this? [16:00] stefg one of the cd drives sro doesnt register as having something loaded in this cas a dvd crouching tigers hidden dragons the other drives appear as having the matrix loaded which is correct see the end of paste bin which means in other word I can't use one of the drivess [16:00] My DVD drive keeps telling me files are corrupted, so that's why I created the USB boot disk (using the USB Startup Disk Creator in Jaunty) [16:00] erm [16:01] stefg and here is the latest pastebin http://pastebin.com/f241b1c5f [16:01] ... [16:01] basajaun: and you have libdvdcss2 installed? [16:01] ActionParsnip: adding the nameserver seems to solve it but its a step slower. do i need to ask for my isp's dns server ip? [16:01] I need help sharing a printer from my Ubuntu 9.04 to a Microsuck Vista machine. I can share to other Ubuntu machines just not Vista [16:01] is there a way to use my ubuntu box as a bluetooth headset for my phone and talk using the pc Mic and speakers? [16:01] ActionParsnip: his laptop was working fine before he updated to version 9 ubuntu, i guess we can try with Driver "intel" instead of vesa? [16:01] I need help in removing the GRUB boot loader [16:02] and removing Ubuntu OS [16:02] when i have copied files from the filesystem that windows used via the ubuntu live cd to a memory stick, can these files be used in another windows computer [16:02] i.e. does ubuntu copy them somehow strangely changing their structure [16:02] Guest1: Why? [16:02] idk [16:02] ummm [16:02] I prefer Windows XP [16:02] just a moment. [16:02] stefg it says its installed and at the latest, and as I say I can watch dvd from second drives so not advd problem [16:02] Ubuntu is somewhat interesting [16:02] Guest1, you got your xp disc? [16:03] yes, i have the XP recovery disk [16:03] ^mNotIntelligent: i can ping the ip address u gave me. [16:03] Guest1, use that [16:03] r15: makes sense, try it [16:03] however i hope you understand that i have XP partitined on my disk [16:03] *partitioned [16:03] anyone? [16:03] Guest1: yeah the Windows CD will remove it, and see my pm :) [16:03] thank you [16:03] Guest1, ok, you still have data on it [16:04] Jaycob: no worries, it'll work [16:04] ok, thanks :) [16:04] yes [16:04] basajaun: swap the DVD'S .. that mean put the Matrix in the one where Tige & Dragons is in and vice versa.. what happens? [16:04] o [16:04] Gratz474: if you do just ruby setup.rb --destdir=~/tempdir/ You'll be able to look in there exactly what files the script pulls in, an presumably remove them automatically? [16:05] Gratz474: s/automatically/manually/ [16:05] ok he is just going to try Driver "intel" [16:05] umm i will need to use a different computer to attempt to reconfigure my hard drive [16:05] and possibly create a new partition table [16:05] Guest1: Ubuntu is not hte only distro, there are other good ones out there as well, Mandriva and what not [16:05] hi, how do I install acrobat reader via apt-get? [16:06] i understand [16:06] I merely wish to restore my computer to factory default before i reconfigure/install any other OS [16:06] stefg same but in reverse, dragons shows and other doesn't [16:06] Guest1: and if you like XP, well with enough RAM you can virtual machine it inside a Linux distro :) [16:06] Guest1, you will have to wipe it completly then [16:07] I have a virtual machine program [16:07] however i installed Ubuntu using a mirror [16:07] Gratz474: and for the package version you could do either "dpkg -L packagename", to get all contents there, or do "aptitude download packagename && dpkg-deb -x packagename ~/packagename_directory" [16:07] oops no stefg both showing now [16:07] Guest1: in fact that's one of the most secure ways to run Windows, virtual machine it, then if you get a virus or whatever, use a clean copy of vm, plus there's Wine for running programs. [16:07] coolcat: Have a look at http://medibuntu.org/ The repository contains acroread === DaZ is now known as Bateria [16:08] possibly [16:08] Gratz474: and look in that dir to check the stuff the package pulls in. [16:08] basajaun: good ... [16:08] Guest1: and ##windows can help you put on a psyical install how you want it [16:09] but but stefg yes but before it was no pproblem , starnge [16:09] basajaun: i need to leave now for some time (election day here) [16:09] I want to record the output of my soundcard. how do I do this? [16:09] strange [16:09] yes but i would like to use windows to run a virtual ubuntu [16:09] even if i do not have the disk === Bateria is now known as DaZ [16:09] ActionParsnip: /etc/init.d/gdm restart did nothing after adding Driver "intel" [16:09] are you in Ireland stefg?lol [16:09] Guest1: really it's much better to run Windows in a virtual machine, not the other way round [16:10] Guest1: after all which OS is most likely to mess up, yep Windows [16:10] in any case ty stefg [16:10] that is a possibility but the ubuntu partition is only occupying 2.5 gb [16:10] Guest1: be that a virus or whatever [16:10] Guest1: only 2.5GB for Ubuntu, ok I see, that means you didn't partition Ubuntu properly [16:10] r15: try a reboot [16:10] actually i did [16:10] i merely didnt want ubuntu to take up too much space [16:11] ActionParsnip: his laptop is Sony VGN-CR23G [16:11] yes i asked him to try a reboot [16:11] <^Cheeky> hi, can i run ubuntu 9.04 server on a pentium 2 266mhz with 128 ram and 80 gig hdd ? [16:11] Guest1: I see, but 2.5GB is hardly any space for Ubuntu, even though most of the programs in the repo, hardly take up any space [16:11] i see [16:11] r15: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=37469 [16:11] the update manger couldnt update all of the software [16:11] Guest1 : You should give more space to ubuntu , atleast 5 gb [16:12] Guest1, and ubuntu needs at least 4gb [16:12] due to lack of prcoessing space [16:12] Guest1: 8 to 10GB for / with a seperate /home that's a good set up, and some swap space === Floops is now known as infexious [16:12] yes good point === infexious is now known as Infexious [16:13] please wait a moment while i switch computers to attempt the operation on my target computer [16:13] Oh dear. Can anyone tell me why Disk Utility tells me that there is no space left on the device after I shrink the partition some 30 GB, when there is obviously some 25 GB of free space? [16:13] ActionParsnip: neh, intel didn't worked, reading thread which you just gave. === Infexious is now known as helpme11 [16:13] hello, I have an eSata port on My laptop and I don't think it is working as an eSata, I think it's working as a USB cause it's interfacing at a USB speed... can anyone help ? [16:13] I'm...trying to make a partition for ubuntu, and this is the only thing stopping me. [16:13] i have returned [16:14] as guest 2 [16:14] <^mNotIntelligent> Armageddon, its working fine, right? === helpme11 is now known as Infexious [16:14] ^mNotIntelligent: just too slow [16:14] Blackbird2: on windows ? [16:14] No, on mac. [16:14] On windows there is no disk utility, I believe. [16:14] Blackbird2: there is [16:14] so how am i to successfully remove grub and use the XP OS recovery disk [16:14] Well I don't remember it. [16:15] ^Cheeky: you can run a bare bones absolute minimum system on anything over a 486 CPU with 32MB RAM and 300MB disk space [16:15] Guest2: It's actually rather easy. [16:15] Guest2, format ! [16:15] please explain [16:15] Put in the WIndows XP installation disk and wait for the thing to load. === Infexious is now known as Floops [16:15] Go into recovery console. [16:15] ^Cheeky: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements [16:15] Guest2: I get by rather nicely on the other computer with 15GB for / with everything installed in it, and quite a lot installed, and 6GB free space [16:15] Once there, we'll tell you what happens. [16:15] <^mNotIntelligent> Armageddon, be default it gets detected as USB device...you want to use it eSATA device,,,right? [16:15] Because it takes a WHILE to load. [16:15] i understand, however my computer does not have an external cd drive [16:15] Blackbird2, you using bootcamp on mac? [16:15] ^mNotIntelligent: yes [16:15] my computer is a netbook [16:15] Guest2: also Ubuntu can read and write to your Windows partition no problem, as long as Windows shut it down properly [16:16] Mhm. And trying to use Disk Utility to shrink the main partition and leave some 37 GB of free space. [16:16] Guest2: a netbook ah ok, how much space you got? [16:16] 120 GB [16:16] hi all [16:16] Guest2, buy a USB DVD-Rom [16:16] <^Cheeky> aethelrick: ok good, well iam installing server on my machine, and was wondering do i have to choose LVM and choose entire disk , and iam not mistaken LVM is logical volum manager ? [16:16] Hello! Could you tell me how can I test internet connection speed from console? ping/u/d/ rates similar speedtest.net? [16:16] Guest2: netbook remix? [16:16] 10 gigs for /, 2 for swap and 25 for /home. Even then I think it's a bit excessive. [16:16] yep [16:16] <^mNotIntelligent> Armageddon, i've never used eSATA devs, but lemme google it .... [16:16] Blackbird2: Mac might have a protection space system [16:16] i also have obtained a usb dvd cd reader writer [16:16] ^Cheeky: LVM is logical volume manager... if you only have one disk you may as well skip installing it [16:17] Oh, and lemme guess, if I want to add a new partition in the new space, I have to erase everything [16:17] i have a theory that if i boot from the usb then i can possibly use the recovery disk [16:17] since the disk is configured for 2. [16:17] Guest2, you need to go into BIOS of netbook and change the booting device to USB CD-ROM after plugin it in [16:17] <^Cheeky> aethelrick: just use entire disk [16:17] i see [16:17] <^mNotIntelligent> Armageddon, you're on jaunty, right? [16:17] hi [16:17] ^Cheeky: yup may as well [16:17] ^mNotIntelligent: yes [16:17] Guest2: Ubuntu can even be run from a USB, you can have an install on USB stick [16:17] i did [16:17] I downloaded from a mirror onto my USB [16:18] ^mNotIntelligent: but as we are all, waiting impationtly for Karmic [16:18] It is still in my possession [16:18] Guest2: use it [16:18] hello [16:18] <^mNotIntelligent> Armageddon, yep...aroudn a month :-) [16:18] I assume I can make this resizing from the Ubuntu install disk?

[16:18] I'm...getting pretty tired of mac no tletting me modify my partition map. [16:19] ^mNotIntelligent: I wanted to go into aplha6, so I tried the LiveCD And changed my mind :P [16:19] the OS is on the usb, so the purpose of the usb is to install the os [16:19] !usb | Guest2 [16:19] Guest2: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [16:19] Guest2: you might have not made a bootable USB [16:19] <^mNotIntelligent> Armageddon, does that solve the prob, btw? [16:19] Guest2: so use the CD-ROM [16:19] is there a samba channel? [16:19] ^mNotIntelligent: didn't load [16:19] i did not obtain a cd [16:19] !who | Guest2 [16:19] Guest2: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [16:19] coaxmt: yes [16:19] is it just #samba? [16:19] Guest2: You can have a persistent USB install [16:19] <^mNotIntelligent> Armageddon, oops ! [16:19] im sorry [16:20] !samba | coaxmt [16:20] coaxmt: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

[16:20] anyway i have booted the usb twice [16:20] thanks [16:20] ciao [16:20] Guest2: well it should work [16:20] after multiple attempts to remove the ubuntu partition [16:20] !list [16:20] This is not a file sharing channel (or network). If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [16:20] ^mNotIntelligent: yup! [16:20] Is there an onscreen keyboard that shows keys being currently pressed? onBoard doesn't seem to have any docs... [16:20] Guest2: just do a full system recovery and the grub will be deleted [16:20] Full system recovery? [16:20] Guest2: Why do you prefer XP? If you want you can make Ubuntu look like it as well [16:20] Armageddon: Thank you [16:21] Armageddon: however, i alrady did that [16:21] You don't really need that. Fixmbr and fixboot should solve it. [16:21] !goin [16:21] Sorry, I don't know anything about goin [16:21] Guest2: your welcome [16:21] Guest2: and the grub is not deleted yet ? [16:21] Guest2: As I said. Go into Recovery console. [16:21] Armageddon: No. The preinstalled recovery software on my Acer did not remove GRUB [16:21] Once there, type in map, and look for the device that has XP on it. [16:21] Blackbird2: he already tried the recovery as he said [16:21] No. [16:21] Guest2: hey hey wait ! [16:21] He means another kind of recovery. [16:21] Guest2: Acer ? [16:21] Guest2: there will be a tiny bit of Grub left in the MBR [16:21] I've formated millions of Acers [16:22] Yeah, exactly. [16:22] Armageddon: Yes, Acer [16:22] Which is why you've got to do a direct fixmbr, to wipe it all out. [16:22] Armageddon: The new 8 -`0 inch netbook [16:22] Guest2: ok find yourself a windows OEM CD, and use that to delete all partitions and format into windows [16:22] ...Why? [16:22] Guest2: then use your recovery CDs [16:22] Armageddon: OEM? [16:22] Oh. I only just got it, forget it. [16:22] Guest2: XP stops being suppourted in 2014, unless they extend it again, I wonder what you will do then [16:22] Please explain what OEM is [16:22] Get your XP installation CD or whatever, Guest2. [16:23] sebsebseb, i agree [16:23] and sebsebseb: I plan to use a vista os later [16:23] Blackbird2: recoveries are different [16:23] The CD that the computer fellows gave you in case you needed to install/fix XP for some reason. [16:23] Guest2: vista ? :/ [16:23] <^mNotIntelligent> Armageddon, do you have the express card for supporting eSATA[google says so], have a look here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1038326 [16:23] * thiebaude imagine a new os every 6 months [16:23] yes [16:23] Guest2: dude stay on Ubuntu [16:23] Armageddon: No matter, I'm starting to understand what you mean. [16:23] A vista OS cd [16:23] Dude. [16:23] Stay on XP. [16:23] haha [16:23] If you REALLY want to avoid trouble [16:23] Guest2: there is no such thing as a Vista CD as far as I know, because it's so big, that it needs to go on DVD [16:23] Just go away from Vista. No matter what you do, stay away from it. [16:23] Well then DVD [16:24] Blackbird2: he wants to put vista on a netbook ! it doesn't even load on a core i7 as it should [16:24] get Windows 7 .. [16:24] On a... [16:24] Windows 7!? [16:24] Look, just get WIndows 7, or reinstall XP... [16:24] Do anything. [16:24] Anyways, the XP recovery disk is here [16:24] Just go away from Vista, lest you want your computer to overheat every 30 minutes. [16:24] 6 disks [16:24] http://bit.ly/fwZ4O need help [16:24] startup recovery [16:24] Guest2: well I think they got a Vista starter edition, just like they have for Windows 7, that might go on CD, and where people can only run like three apps at once [16:24] oh [16:25] * thiebaude vista uses soo much ram [16:25] Guest2: yeah the Windows 7 one is for the developing world, and 32bit only, and rather cheap [16:25] * grawity punches thiebaude for /me abuse [16:25] sebsebseb: I understand your [erspcetive [16:25] never even heard of that! Thats evil! lol 3 app limit? [16:25] Windows 7 is actually rather good. [16:25] *perspective [16:25] please no OS wars [16:25] Blackbird2: well not the starter edition I guess [16:25] Can fit on even a netbook and run fairly competently. [16:25] :> [16:25] I agree. It's not bad. [16:25] ^^ [16:25] peace [16:26] rak: We're just trying to get him to not use Vista. Isn't that a cause worth fighting for?

Mac Disk Utility is not letting me resize the partition as I want to creat one in the free space remaining [16:26] I put xbuntu on my asus netbook and it works like a dream [16:26] I wish to wipe my target computer clean and restore it [16:26] Will that be solved by the installation disk on Ubuntu? [16:27] Or will there always be the same error, saying "no space left on device" even though there is clearly more than enough left? [16:27] That's all I really want to know. [16:27] ActionParsnip: i asked him to configure wifi in single user mode. [16:27] After that, the installation should go smoothly. [16:27] Hello everybody. I have a question about the transition from Hardy to Intrepid. [16:27] In fact, I own an Acer laptop on which Windows Vista was preinstalled. [16:27] The 100 GB HD was divided in two partitions: a Windows partition and a Data partition. [16:27] A while ago I've installed Linux Ubuntu Hardy Heron on the maximum available free space. [16:27] The installation disk automatically reduced the Data partition to 3 GB and installed Ubuntu on the rest of the disk. [16:27] jofo: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [16:27] I'd like to remove the Hardy Heron version and replace it by the very last version of Ubuntu. [16:28] I own an ACER netbook with XP preinstalled [16:28] hello all... [16:28] I'm looking for some software to change my voice online over VoIP calls... [16:28] is there anything like that?.... [16:28] sebsebseb: Do you have any suggestions before i reconfigure my computer? [16:28] jofo: you can just upgrade the HArdy to current [16:29] running ubuntu 9.04, and the dvd drive won't take dvds or even stay shut. Whenever closing it, it just pauses for 3 seconds and then re-opens. [16:29] Ideas? Help? [16:29] But how can I do that ? [16:29] Guest2: have a Linux distro as host :) maybe not Ubuntu, and virtual machine XP [16:29] the virtual machine may not work properly [16:29] I have 6 recovery CDs [16:29] Guest2: depends on the hardware you have [16:29] they are all from an older version desktop [16:30] SONY RS series [16:30] jofo: from within Hardy, you should be able to just run 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' [16:30] jofo, if you just want a new installation you download 9.04, burn to a cd, put in computer and restart, choose use entire disk and it will delete everything on it [16:30] Guest2: what are you actually trying to do? [16:30] hey i am BRAND NEW to Ubuntu. and I have a HP Interl Core 2 Duo Laptop. Problem is my sound is not working. [16:30] And also, i cannot perform downloads of that size (virtual machine) due to lack of prcessing space [16:30] all i get is a constant beep [16:30] aethelrick: They want to remove Ubuntu, and put XP on, and then maybe in the future Vista as well [16:30] aethelrick: Wipe the MBR so that he can get GRUB out of the way, as well. [16:31] vista ,aybe [16:31] but not now [16:31] Which can be solved by reinstalling XP, which he wants to do. [16:31] Due to mny complaints of overheating drives [16:31] If he can find the OEM, that is. [16:31] *OEM Disk [16:31] Guest2: do you have a working OS on the machine at the moment? [16:31] Please explain what an OEM is [16:31] and yues aetherlick i do [16:31] Guest2: Original Equipment Manufacture [16:32] The disk that the company that made your netbook gives you. [16:32] Guest2: the company you bought your computer from [16:32] sebsebseb: Acer... [16:32] link to karmic chat please? [16:32] So, essentially, DVD burning software if you have a burner, XP installation disk if you have XP installed, etc. [16:32] BWARG: #ubuntu+1 [16:32] Blackbird2: #ubuntu+1 [16:32] sebsebseb [16:32] Blackbird2: hmm wrong noe [16:32] one [16:32] i tried that it doesnt exist apparently [16:32] ok well... if you want to install XP, first you need an XP disk... put it in, boot and follow the on screen instructions [16:32] sebsebseb: however the Os came preinstalled [16:32] BWARG: it does, i'm in it now :) [16:32] It'll take quite a while to install it [16:32] oh i have an XP recovery disk [16:33] but its a netbook [16:33] So make sure you're comfortable or something. Even on fast machines it can take up to 3 hours. [16:33] jofo, if you just want a new installation you download 9.04, burn to a cd, put in computer and restart, choose use entire disk and it will delete everything on it <-- But I want to keep the Windows partition intact (approximately one have of the disk) + the 3 GB Data partition. [16:33] imgetting "no such channel" here [16:33] netbooks dont have cd drives [16:33] Guest2: just, because an OS is pre installed, does not mean people have to use it. Also there might be a Windows recovery partition on there, also now you should go to ##windows [16:33] BWARG: /join #ubuntu+1 [16:33] Is there a mac support channel? [16:33] Guest2: "recovery disks" are often machine specific, make sure you have the one that came with your machine... OR that you have a full version of XP [16:33] sebsebsseb: Acer installed some recovery thingy on it [16:33] yup, try in ##mac [16:34] sebsebseb: however it doesnt work [16:34] Good, good. [16:34] Guest2 aethelrick Blackbird2 It's Windows support it's off topic for this channel really, ##windows is the correct channel [16:34] Hi there. I am using a proprietary driver for my video card, so when I click Settings>Display, it shows up and not the regular ubuntu display settings. I can't seem to figure out how to set a resolution as default. Every time I start-up the computer, the resolution is not what I want and I change it to 1024x768. Anyone have experience with NVIDIA X Server Settings? [16:34] jofo: during the install you will be able to tell it to use the previous linux partitions and leave the windows one alone [16:34] im not exactly rooting for xp [16:34] seth, i do [16:35] my main intent is to remove ubuntu [16:35] OK I'll do that. [16:35] Thx [16:35] seth do a gksudo nvidia-settings [16:35] Guest2: sure, and I wonder why that is exactly [16:35] seth: you need to run the nVidia settings as root [16:35] I/ve had my fill of Ubuntu [16:35] sebsebseb: and if you want a rating [16:35] sebsebseb: you have my highest regards [16:35] I'll try that, thanks [16:36] running ubuntu 9.04, and the dvd drive won't take dvds or even stay shut. Whenever closing it, it just pauses for 3 seconds and then re-opens. [16:36] Ideas? Help? [16:36] Guest2: you can overwrite MBR with this command [16:36] why is firefox using up my CPU even when i'm not using it? it doesn't do this on windows [16:36] Guest2: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=512 count=1 [16:36] chattta : Does it work in any other OS [16:36] should i use it on GRUB command line [16:37] ppl is there any utility to show num'caps'scroll status? [16:37] Guest2: that will completely delete MBR... you will need a boot disk to continue afterwards [16:37] aetherlick: i will try that [16:37] unimatrix : What makes you think its firefox [16:37] jofo, you can manually set up partitions if you dont choose the guided option. whichever partition is for ubuntu just just ext3 or ext4 file system, mount point is /, you can manually adjust the size of them. [16:37] Guest2: in a linux terminal [16:37] o [16:37] Blizzerand: top? [16:37] oh [16:37] ok [16:37] chattta : I meant the DVD drive [16:38] unimatrix : huh [16:38] I'm setting up a new build server at work, and would like to use some virtualization. Is KVM or XEN recommended? [16:38] Guest2: it blasts a load of zeros over the top of your drive [16:38] Blizzerand: it's eating up ~6% when idling [16:38] Guest2: you will need root access... or a sudo in fornt of it as well [16:38] if xorg.conf.failsafe fails to function does that mean its a hardware issue? or are there times when failsafe doesn't work right? [16:38] unimatrix- what plugins/extentions do you use? [16:38] TheCheeze: same as on windows [16:39] The spec: Core i7 2.6, 12G RAM, 2x1TB disks (RAID1), Ubuntu 9.04 Server... I plan on running three virtual servers on it [16:39] unimatrix, that does not answer the question [16:39] unimatrix : Which version [16:39] Guest2: I don't really care what OS you use, but it's interesting to know why people are saying they want to go back to Windows after using a Linux distribution, after trying what for many computer users is actsauly a better OS. As well as what would be for the majority probably the better OS for most of their computer usage but thing is they know about it, plus will probably need assitance from someone that knew about it. [16:39] Well, at least the ubuntu installer will have the common courtesy of letting me reformat my external HD as FAT32, which apparently requires some black magic on mac or Windows. [16:39] Blizzerand: every 3.x basically [16:39] Blackbird2: Even Windows allows that. [16:39] Blizzerand: can't remember if it was like that on 2.x but probably yes [16:39] Not really. [16:39] I tried. [16:39] Didn't let me. [16:39] unimatrix : No which one is it that you are using now [16:39] Guest2: all that editing and I still type something wrong hmm, above, they don't know about it [16:40] Mac only sometimes lets me reformat as FAT32 === feld2 is now known as Feldegast [16:40] Blizzerand: 3.5.5 [16:40] It's very weird. But hey. Might as well use the tools I have... [16:40] Blizzerand: 3.5.3* [16:40] aetherlick: the terminal says' [16:40] Is KVM or XEN the preferred (Para)Virtualization hypervison in Ubuntu? [16:40] aeherlick: permission denied [16:40] unimatrix, the most probable reason is that I do not believe that ubunti has a "system idle process" like windows does, so it feeds a tiny bit of cpu to the runing apps instead [16:40] Guest2: maybe your issue is simpalley that Ubuntu isn't Windows [16:40] !windows | Guest2 [16:40] Guest2: For discussion on Microsoft software, or help with same, please visit ##windows. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and /msg ubottu equivalents [16:41] LjL: at least I got something working now. [16:41] not sure on that, so if i am wrong someone please correct me [16:41] how can I store terminal's output to a text file? [16:41] Guest2: that last link now that's a good article [16:41] TheCheeze: it's called init in unix/linux [16:41] agreed [16:41] stefg, thank you :) [16:41] ive just done a look over [16:42] stefg: No, not really. init is a real process, 'System idle process' is just a fake entry. [16:42] airman00: you can direct the output of any command to a text file using a ">" e.g. [16:42] Guest2, if that is the error you are getting, try putting sudo in front of the command. [16:42] airman00: ls > ls.txt [16:42] grawity: right... the concept is quite different [16:42] stefg: init is a little more like the 'System' process in Windows. [16:42] airman00: then have a look in ls.txt and you'll see the output :) [16:42] anybody having trouble installing the nvidia driver in 9.10? [16:42] airman00: I just "edit->select all" then "edit->copy" [16:42] Novice users will prefer Windows over Linux, who cares... If you're an expert user or a developer you are probably not that efficient in Windows.. As long as you have that kind of patience, who cares if you prefer X to Y :) [16:42] nopw [16:42] nope [16:42] i install the driver and xserver says it cant find displays =( [16:43] i did not set a password for linux [16:43] when I do ./configure, I get a whole list of output . So tried ./configure > output.txt [16:43] unimatrix : Well you could try deleting your .mozilla , and reinstalling it again . But you would lose your information (such as bookarks , history etc) [16:43] I dont get any errors, but the text file it blank [16:43] so its not doing anythin [16:43] Blizzerand, TheCheeze: when I close the GMail tab the usage drops to ~1% [16:43] Blizzerand, TheCheeze: which is still too much, but a lot better [16:43] wha... [16:43] oc: Oh I know that certain not that technical computer users, will prefer Ubuntu or whatever instead of Windows, as long as someone helps them out properly with it. [16:43] whoops fixed it, thanks [16:44] airman00: if you're running a configure script, don;t worry about it unless it stops on an error :) [16:44] Which is basically the point of this channel, isn't it, sebsebseb? [16:44] i hate to ask this but... [16:44] how do i completely wipe my drive clea [16:44] clen [16:44] clean [16:44] Guest2: you can use gparted [16:44] system froze while partitioning - partimage shows place the files need but the partition does not mount automatically any more - how to save the files now? tnx [16:44] unimatrix ; Probably you did something wrong . Deleting the hidden file .mozilla in your home folder might solve it ( to unhide it just press cntrl+h) [16:44] dont have gparted [16:44] and already used it [16:44] Guest2: If deleting all partitions is enough, use parted or gparted, and create a new partition table ("label"). [16:44] Guest2: its the partition editor on the liveCD [16:45] o well thats a new one... [16:45] Guest2: use dd.. something like dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda [16:45] Blackbird2: I guess, but some users, need a lot more than just this channel. [16:45] Guest2, boot off a cd and you can do everything [16:45] Blizzerand: i wonder why i didn't do anything wrong on windows... *sigh* i'll try it anyway [16:45] Guest2: sudo dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/foo .. [16:45] hey any one help me..how 2 play the games in ubuntu...games which r in xp pormat [16:45] Guest2 : But if you do so you'd delete evry detail of it [16:45] hehe, i dont have a cd [16:45] i used a download miror [16:45] mirror [16:45] Oh, yes. Like me, who spent 3 hour yesterday installing Ubuntu before realising I was wasting my time installing it on an external [16:45] Guest2: set up a liveUSB then? [16:45] yep [16:45] Guest2, you can use "wipe" [16:45] on... [16:46] terminal? [16:46] gparted? [16:46] sebsebseb, yes, i find the best way is if people have a friend that knows what they are doing help them at first, but mainly help them think about solving problems themselves [16:46] Guest2: you can use the partition editor in the liveUSB then [16:46] grub command line? [16:46] I have an external display for my laptop, how can I stop full screen flash exiting when I type on the other screen and can I choose which screen that it full screens on? [16:46] is there any way to unmake something? [16:46] airman00: lol, you can try a "make clean" [16:46] Ummm, the liveUSB partition editor didnt have a command line [16:46] hi, do you know any typing tutorial for ubuntu? [16:46] jedc: yeah that kind of thing, tends to be a good way to do it [16:46] Keiffer: typing ah yes [16:46] Blackbird2: opposed to windows a ubuntu/linux installation can be transfred quite easily from one disk/partition to the other. Copy it over, dosome UUID fiddling in fstab and you're done [16:47] Guest2: no its the GUI program [16:47] Keiffer: there are a few programs in the repo, Tuxtype and such [16:47] Blizzerand: tried with a fresh .mozilla folder now... it's the same [16:47] Guest2: no command line with that, all visual [16:47] o [16:47] so how do I decompile something I already "made" [16:47] thank you sebsebseb [16:47] a?m i supposed to overwrite everything with ubuntu and tehn run the xp recovery disk [16:47] Keiffer: np [16:47] Guest2: it depends on how securely you need to wipe the disk. wipe the partition table.. wipe all the data... destroy the disk completely. [16:47] airman00: ah... that's a different question [16:47] Blackbird2: oh.. and reinstall grub [16:47] salve. vorre far caricare a xchat due file python all'avvio il primo risce con load "path" il secondo no. che carattere devo usare per separare i due comandi? grazie [16:47] airman00, all compiling it does is generates some files that are just binary, to "unmake" you just remove the files [16:47] well i have the recovery disk [16:48] so i can do either [16:48] Guest2: what exactly are you trying to do? [16:48] excuse me [16:48] airman00: it is possible to disassemble compiled code but you don't always get back what the programmer put in [16:48] unimatrix : Not sure what causes it . Probably has to do something linux , not sure though , try #firefox . they have more support [16:48] delete ubuntu partition and reinstall xp with recovery disk [16:48] airman00, most makefiles will have be setup so you can type make clean [16:48] well delete EVERYTHING and recover xp [16:48] stefg: Yes, that is rather good, but you have to install it on an internal first [16:48] Guest2: then you can just use the xp recovery disc [16:48] Blizzerand: it's probably Xorg sucking, but i'll try that, thanks [16:48] airman00: you need to find out what language the system was written in and find a decompiler [16:48] if I did make verbose , can I do make clean verbose ? [16:48] without altering ubuntu? [16:48] Otherwise GRUB will override the Windows bootloader and pretty much start the problem all over again. [16:49] airman00, verbose just controls what is output to the terminal during compilation [16:49] Guest2: yes, then from windows, if you chose, you can just delete that partition and join it to the windows partition [16:49] airman00: what are you trying to do? these are all rather random questions [16:49] excellent idea! [16:49] airman00, why do you need to make clean? [16:49] i will try that on my target computer asap [16:49] Guest2: good luck :) [16:49] Hello, what a good video player to use to play all codecs [16:49] Guest2: wipe the partition table. one way "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda bs=512 count=2" [16:49] I am grateful for your suggestion [16:49] Thank you! [16:49] soikre: VLC [16:49] Blackbird2: no... wherever the content of the compressed disk image is expanded/the packages are installed. you just might need a Live CD again to get it booting if your bios is stupid [16:50] soikre: yeah VLC and mplayer as well I guess [16:50] !video [16:50] 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 [16:50] neil_d: I already told him that about ten minutes ago :S [16:50] stefg: Let me make this short. Macs are stupid. [16:50] originally, I got a short and sweet serial output [16:50] soikre : VLC [16:50] Don't try directly going to the external on one. [16:50] aethelrick: yea I saw. [16:50] Ialready learnt the lesson the hard way. [16:50] then I did make verbose, to get a longer output. Now I want to go back to before I did make verbose [16:50] this is probably a longshot, but my headphone jack on my laptop is physically broken, and I was wondering if it is possible to reroute the output to the mic jack. I have a feeling it's wired so that isn't possible, but if any of you think it might be possible, I would appreciate your help. [16:51] Blackbird2: ah, i see.... Macs are so stupid they don't even have a BIOS :-) [16:51] Well, they do. But... [16:51] !headphone [16:51] Sorry, I don't know anything about headphone [16:51] Look. I don't know how to explain it. [16:51] * aethelrick loves his macbook pro [16:51] Mac isn't cool [16:52] airman00, did you try make clean? [16:52] Point is, I tried, and failed. [16:52] ... [16:52] using the gpg utility how do i recieve all the keys for ubuntu ppc 9.04 distribution all the examples i have show that you already know the recieve key paramter example gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys EEF818CF; gpg --armor -export EEF818CF | sudo apt-key add - [16:52] Oh god not again. I'm officially never installing Ubuntu. [16:52] Macs lock people in, are rather expensive, and are even more like a standard PC these days since the Intel proccessors. Plus Mac OS X can get the real advantages of that with a Linux distro, or FreeBSD or whatever. [16:52] Blackbird2: yup, EFI cheating is another story [16:52] haha #piratenpartei is going to be bigger than this channel :) ^^ [16:53] i tried make clean , it didnt work [16:53] "Support for HFS+ is not implemented yet" "No space left on disk" [16:53] Just... [16:53] How could I make the windows partition? Seriously. This makes no sense. [16:53] hai thar [16:53] if i want to move from gnupg to gnupg2, how do i do it? [16:53] hikenboot, gpg --list-keys [16:53] well not Windows for my above comment [16:53] just wanted to say that #piratenpartei is nao the bigger channel! [16:53] thanks jedc [16:53] havent seen that anywhere [16:53] sebsebseb: I don't agree, but you're entitled to your opinion... [16:53] linduxed: Just install gnupg2. [16:53] Vanadis, :-D [16:54] i get a ton of broken deps if i do "aptitude remove gnupg" [16:54] linduxed: The keyrings and configuration files are compatible. [16:54] Vanadis, but ubuntu is cooler ;-) === Jay|Lost_ is now known as Jay|Lost [16:54] Ubuntu > Pirates [16:54] Ventus^5, #piratenpartei is a mind fuck :-D [16:54] !language | Ventus^5 [16:54] Ventus^5: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [16:54] hikenboot, i hope thats what you wanted, you can find most stuff like that using man, e.g. man gpg [16:54] aethelrick: Mac is about eye candy, the OS, and the hardware, one reason I have thought about buying one. Plus I guess they are useful for multimedia people. [16:55] verfickte amis, die mit ihren kack bad words, cya [16:55] this is probably a longshot, but my headphone jack on my laptop is physically broken, and I was wondering if it is possible to reroute the output to the mic jack. I have a feeling it's wired so that isn't possible, but if any of you think it might be possible, I would appreciate your help. [16:55] Blackbird2 : If you don't have a Linux distro , boot into a live CD and partition with gparted [16:55] jedc, i looked but must have missed it [16:55] I can't partition with gparted. [16:55] It tells me that support for HFS+ is not implemented yet [16:55] it would be nice if man pages had a summary and example section , not everyone wants to read an entire man page [16:55] sebsebseb: we're way off topic here... but... they are also a really efficient working environment, click for click, key press for key press, I do far less to achieve the same results on mine [16:55] Blackbird2: yes I don't think you can do that file system yet in Gparted [16:55] Blackbird2: your trying to install on a Mac? [16:55] I try to partition as FAT32, it goes insane a few seconds in and says something about administratyive rights. [16:56] YES. [16:56] sirninja : Not sure , but let me see if I can help ya out [16:56] hikenboot, most man pages do have an example page [16:56] LjL: I got it to go.. there seems to be a permissions problem somewhere, but I am not worried about that atm [16:56] GOD. Is it IMPOSSIBLE to do it? [16:56] are you running gparted as root [16:56] Blackbird2: Just make the partitions, _not_ the filesystems. === patrick is now known as Guest73659 [16:56] What system uses HFS - trying to remember Blackbird2 ? [16:56] grawity: That means wiping out Mac, since making a new partition table takes it out. [16:56] aethelrick: ok [16:56] And Windows with it, too. [16:56] Blackbird2, are you trying to resize your mac partition? I know you used to only be able to write to hfs+ if you disabled journaling on macs [16:56] mac, ipod [16:57] Yes. I'm trying to resize it [16:57] Blackbird2: what are you trying to do exactly? [16:57] Ah it's Macos right [16:57] sebsebseb: that said though... horses for courses... I have three linux boxes (2 x ubuntu, 1 x openSuSE) two mac books and a windows box. I use them all, they all have strong and weak points... there is no one true way and I don't trust anyone who claims there is :) [16:57] grawity: should i remove gnupg? [16:57] Resize a rather large HFS+ partition by some 30 GB [16:57] Simple. [16:57] grawity: i want to use gpg2 instead [16:57] Blackbird2: why don't you use diskutil or whatever the app is on osx [16:57] aethe1rick: i agree with you fully [16:57] Blackbird2 : Do you get some errors while partitioning with gparted [16:57] Because after modifying the partition map, the util tells me I have no space left on disk [16:57] Even though I have 25 GB left [16:58] jrib, when i was dual booting the disk util never worked right :p [16:58] EntropikOne: thanks :) [16:58] Blackbird2: can you please address the person you are speaking to? [16:58] aethelrick: Depends on the user, the programs they want to run, and the hardware they have, which OS is better for them, and this is a good place to end the off topic. [16:58] jrib: Forgive me. But yes, it's...weird. [16:58] jedc: that's how I installed ubuntu on my macbook and I've since used gparted to resize my osx partition too [16:58] Blackbird2: parted magic reads and writes HFS by the way [16:58] jrib: Even hardcore mac users (Ha!) have no idea how the thing works. === Fake511 is now known as Fake51 [16:58] blackbird2 have you tried using parted [16:59] jrib, hmm, then maybe its not what his trouble is with gparte [16:59] Oh, I think I see the problem. [16:59] Fragmentation. [16:59] Hi , i have ubuntu 8.04.3 LTS , with 2 hard ( raid 1 mirror ) , in boot system give me message try the 8139too driver instead .. but if the 2 hards conneted it cointure boot , while when i deattach one of them the system not continue booting and stop on that message , any hint plz [16:59] Blackbird2, do hfs+ filesystems get fragmented? [17:00] jedc: According to ##mac, yes. [17:00] And Ultimate boot CD has loads of filesystem tools - not all of them FOSS if people care about that [17:00] I am aware of that. But, if anything, I want to get this over with. [17:01] silner ever try 'system rescue CD"? [17:01] i have a problem my windows environment is corrupt. i have to use hoary 5.04 to boot and i have a repair file in usb port. how do i mount the hdd on the laptop in terminal? [17:01] Seriously. Everyone, even mac users, have told me it's a cakewalk to install Ubuntu. It really isn't. [17:01] amigamia: hmm wow [17:01] amigamia: that's pretty old now [17:01] amigamia: It wasn't untill 7.10 that Ubuntu got proper read and write NTFS support [17:01] i know i just need the command [17:01] augh [17:01] Blackbird2: it is assuming you can create free space for it :) [17:02] amigamia: you need to upgrade [17:02] HFS+ filesystems should be constantly defragging... [17:02] can you run gparted as root from the command line and show us any error you get @Blackbird2 [17:02] amigamia: at this point you should just do a clean install [17:02] jdv: I cannot run gparted as root from command line and show you any error [17:02] oh no [17:02] I'm booting from the livecd. [17:03] Hello. How do i post a needs-packaging in the new Launchpad version? It redirects me to another page explaing about how to report a bug and doesn't let me - nor have a option - to report a packaging request [17:03] are you always root in a livecd? how do you get root? [17:03] weird live cd you got there, @blackbird2 [17:03] I...kind of don't get root. [17:03] Blackbird2: did you try using the bootcamp setup to do the resizing? [17:03] blizzerand: any luck finding anything? [17:03] Unless there's no root password on it. [17:04] jrib: ...That's...a good point. [17:04] Let me do that. [17:04] @Blackbird2 'sudo -s' [17:04] amigamia: 5.04 Live CD isn't that useful now, maybe you should sort yourself out with a later one, also if your Windows environment is currupt it's probably better to clean install, but the people in ##window may have some other suggestions [17:04] sirninja : if you have a header for plugs /frontside you can cross jumpers...if you have multichannel, you can select another output for stereo [17:04] Uh. [17:04] amigamia: that's ##windows [17:04] Thing is, since I already have a Windows partition... [17:05] Running boot camp assistant will...wipe it out. [17:05] @Blackbird2 'sudo -s' [17:05] Blackbird2, root is like the administrator user, you do all your normal stuff not as root so you dont have permission to mess up your system files (root owns all of them), then switch to root to install stuff or change the system in some way [17:05] i said i was booting with iubuntu and i just wanted to know a fricking command from terminal to mount a hdd [17:06] blizzerand: how would I figure out what I have? [17:06] And I can resize my HFS+ partition that way? [17:06] naw [17:06] amigamia sudo mount /dev/xxx /mnt [17:06] Because, um, let's just say that doing it in mac involves some serious mucking around. [17:06] the people in windows dont have any ideas period that is why theu use windows [17:06] Blackbird2, this is part of why you dont need to worry about viruses terribly, worse case usually is they mess up some user files, doesnt affect the system [17:06] thanks [17:07] Good. But does Gparted have shrink support for HFS+? [17:07] thanks [17:07] amigamia: sort of heh at the sort of Windows hate/dislike ? [17:07] sirninja : Go to ##linux and ask the same question you had . they, I believe have more support ( Or atleast you'd get what you need from there ) [17:07] jrib, said earlier that he has done it, so probably [17:07] how do I burn an *.iso? [17:08] amigamia, create the mount point. mkdir /mnt/something. Mount it. mount /dev/sd?? /mnt/something. fdisk -l will show the devices you can mount. [17:08] @Blackbird2 yes [17:08] imaginativeone: your on Windows? [17:08] i cant stand it but it runs my games [17:08] Oh, good. [17:08] ubuntu [17:08] imaginativeone: an ISO for what? [17:08] imaginativeone: cdrecord for command line, Brasero for GUI. [17:08] I have a program in iso format [17:08] Blizzerand: I have a macbook 4,1, as long as hfs+ is what os x gets installed on by default, then definitely yes you can resize it using gparted. Note, I used sysrescuecd, not ubuntu, so I don't know if our gparted versions differ [17:08] I would like to burn the Contents to a dvd [17:08] Blackbird2: I have a macbook 4,1, as long as hfs+ is what os x gets installed on by default, then definitely yes you can resize it using gparted. Note, I used sysrescuecd, not ubuntu, so I don't know if our gparted versions differ [17:08] not a copy of the iso [17:08] imaginativeone: use brasero which is the default, or K3B or something if you want to install that, and say you want to burn an image, and that should do it [17:09] imaginativeone: one thought == one line please [17:09] imaginativeone: cdrecord for command line, Brasero for GUI. [17:09] jrib : lol [17:09] thanks sebsebseb [17:09] imaginativeone: np [17:09] ...Oh god. I don't even know if the mac users are lying to me so I won't install Ubuntu. [17:10] They say it will destroy my poor, beloved MacBookPro. Even though, um, Windows is definitely more harmful than Ubuntu. [17:10] Blackbird2: Ubuntu on Mac is a bit hmm [17:10] Blackbird2: how are either harmful? [17:10] @Blackbird2 it works, but it wont work if youre not running it as root. [17:10] Blackbird2: there isn't a proper offical supopurted version anymore, if there was in the first place hmm [17:10] sebsebseb: macbooks use intel now [17:10] brb need to try something else [17:10] has anybody had the problem that the remote vnc connection stopped working after a period of time? [17:11] Blackbird2, I successfully dual-booted for a while, then i removed os x on my macbook pro [17:11] jrib: Mac users are basically yelling in my face, telling me that insalling Ubunbu on my MacBookPro will cause electronic tunnel damage to my CPU. [17:11] thx Blizzerand: dvd drive is typ ok in ubuntu after a booting. But after burning a disc or elapsed time, the drive won't stay closed or read discs. [17:11] was just wondering if this issue rang a bell for people, & if there's a fix. [17:11] jrib: of course yeah I am thinking PPC aren't I, the desktop version should work [17:11] I'm planning on triple-booting. [17:11] Blackbird2, you can expect that [17:11] Not because I like OS X... [17:11] But, um, because I really need it to stay there. [17:11] Blackbird2: well ask them for some proof I guess, but I've been using it for over a year on my macbook [17:11] Blackbird2: ok pretty much ignore what I just said [17:12] Alright. So I boot from the livecd, and type "sudo -s" into terminal? [17:12] chattta : Does the dirve read discs in other Operating Systems or linux distributions [17:12] Then run GParted, resize HFS+, run installer, hopefully my computer won't break. [17:12] Yes? [17:12] hello all [17:13] Blackbird2: also, have you checked if help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook addresses your issue at all? [17:13] Blackbird2, you should be able to do all that during install, it automatically runs gparted [17:13] My name is Mazhar Hissain [17:13] *hussain [17:13] Uh, I cannot. [17:13] I am new to this channel [17:13] It's...weird. [17:13] mazhar: welcome [17:13] !welcome | mazhar [17:13] mazhar: 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! [17:13] mazhar : No one cares about you here [17:13] thnx [17:13] mazhar, did you have a question? [17:13] jedc: It tells me that HFS+ support is not implemented yet. [17:13] :( [17:13] !ask | mazhar [17:13] mazhar: 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. :-) [17:14] Blizzerand: that's not very nice to say that no one cares about him here [17:14] jrib: one thought == one line? what do you mean? [17:14] hi Mazhar :) [17:14] sebsebseb : sorry [17:14] does anyone know from where can I find the jaunty themes for Ubuntu hardy? [17:14] !attitude | Blizzerand [17:14] * Blizzerand huggles mazhar [17:14] Blizzerand: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [17:14] thnx :) [17:15] hmm? [17:15] thiebaude : hmm that was not the proper [17:15] Blackbird2, ah, this link: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=188750 says parted works but gparted (which uses parted) thinks it cant handle it, so yes you will need to do it from a terminal with parted first [17:15] does anyone know? [17:15] jedc: What I was thinking. [17:15] from where can I find the new jaunty themes for Ubuntu hardy? [17:15] Blizzerand, proper what? [17:15] mazhar: jauntey themes for hardy hmm [17:15] jec thats from 2006 [17:15] jedc [17:15] Blackbird2, that link is years old though, so might not trust it [17:15] mazhar: What do you mean exactly the black log in screen? [17:15] hi [17:16] gparted supports shrinking HFS+ period. [17:16] jdv lol just saw that [17:16] no I mean the new themes that were in jaunty [17:16] not the login theme [17:16] I have two questions: 1) When in firefox, after I click to open or download a file, and I check the box "do this from now on for these types of files", the popup still always shows up when I download that type of file. 2) Is it possible to embed PDF files into firefox in ubuntu J? [17:16] mazhar: Which new themes?? [17:16] just the basic themes [17:16] Blackbird2, are you using a 9.04 live cd? [17:16] mm the dark one [17:16] imaginativeone: I just meant for you to not use enter as punctuation [17:16] jedc: Well, the installer still tells me that, while the official GParted site says otherwise. [17:16] I dont remember the name [17:16] Jedc: Yes. [17:16] eeng [17:16] he isnt running it as root jedc [17:16] mazhar: not sure if you can, but [17:16] hi everyone. I'm trying to share files between my vista 32bit and my ubuntu 9.04 I have samba setup and I can access the files and download them. Now when I edit them for upload back to the samba server (ubuntu) it says I don't have the premissions to do that. Anyone know how i could fix that? [17:16] !themes | mazhar [17:16] mazhar: Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://kubuntu-art.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy [17:16] I will be soon. [17:17] Blizzerand: i don't recall. am closing stuff to reboot into xp and try. will prolly also see if puppylinux can use drive ok. later... [17:17] jdv, im pretty sure the installer runs as root regardless [17:17] Anyone got any problems with the gnome-panel just freezing in jaunty? [17:17] Can anyone help me with either of my issues? [17:17] jedc: Sure, but it still tells me that checking for HFS+ is unsupported. [17:17] Jedc: Which...should be a lie. [17:17] I have sda1 (ntfs), sda2 (extended) sda5 (ext3), sda6-9 (swap), sda10 (ext3) what should tell grub so that I can make linux bootable again? I have tried root (hd0,5) setup (hd0) but it complains the partition is not bootable [17:17] Dear god I'm confused. [17:17] seth: ok the first issue [17:18] seth: change it in the actsaul Firefox settings, edit > preferences [17:18] marcellus google super grub disk [17:18] hi guys. I have 2 hard drives and dual boot Ubuntu and windows. the drive with Windows is sda and the one with ubuntu is sdb and occassionally I saw the one with windows changing to sdb and the one with Ubuntu to sda. This makes me unable to boot windows without editing the /boot/grub/menu.lst file to map hd0 to hd1. I am using UUID's for ubuntu so not it is not affected by this. Any medicine for this? [17:18] ubottu: thnx for telling, Ill search [17:18] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [17:18] hahah [17:18] !thanks | mazhar [17:18] mazhar: You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [17:18] Blackbird2: if in the end we can't figure it out, try sysrescuecd (that's the one I used and know for sure has support) [17:18] ehehhe [17:18] hi everyone. I'm trying to share files between my vista 32bit and my ubuntu 9.04 I have samba setup and I can access the files and download them. Now when I edit them for upload back to the samba server (ubuntu) it says I don't have the premissions to do that. Anyone know how i could fix that? [17:18] yeah I know [17:18] ok [17:18] jedc: So I type sudo -s into terminal, and then try to resize from GParted? [17:18] ok me going [17:18] Good bye [17:18] And if that fails, find sysrescuecd? [17:18] mazhar: bywe [17:18] thnx everyone for your help [17:18] bye [17:18] how do i remove a directory from $PATH? i tried ~/directory but it added it again! [17:19] mazhar: np [17:19] aksci: why? === ortsvorsteher_ is now known as ortsvorsteher [17:20] jrib: ummm,.. i wanted to add ~/bin to PATH but accidently added something else! how do i remove it? [17:20] aksci: how did you add it? [17:21] jdv and jrib, do you think disabling journaling on the hfs+ partition could help? [17:21] love being ubuntero! [17:21] please help me, i cant seem to extract any rar files.... [17:21] I can't seem to get it to go away: the popup, "You have chosen to open..." still pops up. I ticked "Do this automatically for files like this from now on.", to no avail. What setting under the preference tab ought I change? [17:21] PATH=$PATH:~/bin [17:21] aksci: open a new terminal [17:21] Blackbird2, you would type gparted from the terminal to launch gparted, but i dont think that is your issue peronally [17:22] i double click the file, i see that the file exists in the archive but when i extract it to the desktop i see nothing [17:22] the file won't come out [17:22] jedc: I imagine it shouldn't matter since the partition isn't mounted. In my case, I did not have to do that [17:22] jedc happy to help if he can show an error [17:22] jrib: omg! none of these paths are there! well, thanks! but how do i make it permanent!? [17:22] jedc: Okay. Can I also do NTFS partitions with GParted? [17:22] aksci: ~/bin will automatically be added to your path when you login if you create the directory ~/bin [17:23] In firefox, when opening files, I can't seem to get this to go away: the popup, "You have chosen to open..." still pops up. I ticked "Do this automatically for files like this from now on.", to no avail. What setting under the preference tab ought I change? [17:23] jrib: but it is already there! logging off n in would do? [17:23] aksci: oh, not required then [17:23] Blackbird2, yes you can [17:23] seth -> i dont know, look around about:config for automatic ? [17:23] aksci: everything is ok now right? [17:23] Blackbird2, ok, open a terminal type sudo -s, then type gparted, then try from gparted, if you get the error then post what was outputed into the terminal window on pastebin, then jdv will help [17:24] Will do. Second question: How to I download Adobe Reader on Ubuntu J? Bear in mind that I am a novice user [17:24] So now in the installer, I just tell it to "install side-by-side" on the partition? [17:24] anybody use fluxbox? [17:24] jrib: but i do not see ~/bin when i echo $PATH [17:24] the one reserved for it, anyway. [17:25] phyrrus: why won't you ask your real question ? [17:25] aksci: ok. Have you created the directory ~/bin yet? [17:25] can anyone help me with a file system error? [17:25] !anyone | Dishtroyer [17:25] Dishtroyer: 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? [17:25] does anybody know how i can get fluxspace installed? [17:25] Blackbird2, yes, if you want to manually adjust the sizes though you might have to do the manual option [17:25] jrib: yep, it exists! i'll try adding it again now! [17:26] phyrrus: is fluxspace in the packages ? [17:26] nope [17:26] aksci: no, you don't need to add it, just log out and back in [17:26] jrib: alright,.. will try! thanks! [17:26] anyone have a clue as to why i cant extract files...it says file extraction complete [17:26] phyrrus: well install it separately then, from source. [17:26] Every time I come in here, no one wants to help [17:27] can somebody tell me where I can get a debian-based source package then. all I found was slax [17:27] Dishtroyer: difference between "want" and "can" [17:27] Dishtroyer: you haven't asked a question [17:27] jedc: I'd rather it do it automatically. I'm tired of fiddling about with partitions. [17:27] Dishtroyer: you just said you have a problem, please ask the question [17:27] jedc: Especially because the mac trackpad is rather sketchily supported on default settings. [17:27] !ask |Dishtroyer [17:27] Dishtroyer: 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. :-) [17:27] Blizzerand_: I was thinking of doing that [17:28] 'llo. Are there any known problems with ubuntu or linux and nfs server? Mine used to work, but know it stops working after a few mount/umounts [17:28] sebsebseb : You could do the honour too [17:28] Blizzerand_: I have already used !ask quite a lot, but yeah [17:29] Dishtroyer: so ? [17:29] the archive manager on ubuntu absolutely does not work for me, what gives? idrag the files i need to the their destination and nothing occurs [17:29] Blackbird2, yea, you need to tweak it a bit to get two finger scrolling and two finger tap for right click [17:29] hello all [17:29] lifesengine: run file-roller in a shell [17:29] jedc: Uh. Problem. The NTFS partition worked fine... [17:29] I am back [17:29] jedc: The FAT32 one still crashed. [17:29] hello [17:29] now I wanted to ask another question [17:30] QUESTION: when I try to start ubuntu, it goes through a process using FSCK. It fails and sends me to a "shell" that asks me for a password. I dont have the password. [17:30] phyrrus : What is your question , I got disconnected in the process of reading it [17:30] jedc: Reverted to "unknown" Filesystem. [17:30] I have made some applications on localhost and want to specify local domain names for them, how can I do that ? [17:30] my moomex theme changed the default font to its own [17:30] Blackbird2, now go to pastebin.com and paste the error from the terminal window [17:30] Dishtroyer : rootpassd [17:30] like localhost/app will load if I type just app [17:30] but now I want to change back to the default font [17:30] Control-D just restarts the computer [17:30] jedc: Which means I'm now going to run GParted from the terminal. [17:30] Dishtroyer: it's your root password [17:31] jedc: Because I never did it. [17:31] Dishtroyer: you can do as follows: [17:31] can anyone tell me which is the default font in Hardy? [17:31] Blackbird2, lol, do sudo -s first to get root [17:31] 1. boot from a CD, and choose recovery option. [17:31] can anyone help me with getting my sound to work? [17:31] mazhar: system -> preferences -> fonts or system -> preferences -> appearance -> fonts [17:31] yes [17:31] jedc: I did. The NTFS one worked just fine. [17:31] mazhar: "yes"? [17:31] jrib: did that [17:31] I want to change back to the default font [17:31] lifesengine: and? [17:31] 2. when you get to the proper state you need to choose the proper / partition. [17:32] but I dont know which is the default fonr [17:32] *font [17:32] jrib are you saying to open the archives there? [17:32] Dishtroyer: do you know the filename of your / partition ? [17:32] lifesengine: yes [17:32] sudo -s only give root to that terminal session, since you ran gparted from the menu you werent running it as root [17:32] jrib: it's 4 different rars...all combine to make a single mp4 [17:32] jedc: ...I ran it as root. Still an error. [17:32] lifesengine: so open the first one [17:32] mazhar: please use the channel [17:32] anyone? [17:32] ok [17:33] mazhar: but that will also tell you the name of it. If you have changed it, create a new user and check there === htk__ is now known as htk_ [17:33] BBIAM [17:33] oh thans alot [17:33] Blackbird2, so now paste the error from the console on pastebin.com [17:33] *thnx [17:33] ok time to go [17:33] thnx for helping [17:33] Bye [17:33] jrib: first one's open, i extracted it to desktop, no dice [17:33] jedc: Ah, the error message clears it up. [17:34] lifesengine: terminal output? [17:34] jedc: Says there was an error informing the kernel about the modifications to /dev/sdb2/ === root__ is now known as Out_Cold [17:34] jedc: Which means that I can just reboot and it'll be fine, yes? [17:34] Can anyone give me a way how to remove unussed stuff and clean some space, my installation is 1.60 gig now, i want to bring it down a bit [17:34] how is that "username" app in the very top right corner called? [17:34] jrib: there is none [17:35] stefg: What is the advantage compared with running it in Seamonkey? [17:35] lifesengine: does « unrar e first_file.rar » work? [17:35] I added an entry in my /etc/hosts >> 127.0.0.2 localhost/bizzers bizzers << its not working can anyone tell what's the problem ? [17:35] lets see [17:35] What happens in the background of Linux when you use two GUI's to edit the Samba config file at one time? I did that yesterday and it messed up my user account to the point that deleting and re-adding din't even help. I had to completely remove Samba from synaptic and re-install then re-import my smb.conf file to get it to work again. I can see what I did wrong - but I'm trying to understand what happened in the background. Any ideas? [17:36] ruby_on_tails, 127.0.0.2 localhost bizzers [17:36] Blackbird2, i have no idea if that will fix it or not, or what the error is. that might help. f you paste the error so we can see someone might now what it means [17:36] jedc: Basically, according to the errors, the partitionw as made, but the kernel wasn't informed. Had I bothered to read, well. Maybe I wouldn't have given up so quickly. Thanks anyway. [17:36] Roasted: nothing special. Last one that saves wins. [17:36] jedc: No, the error literally says that the kernel wasn't informed, but the partition was created, so when I reboot it'll be fine. [17:37] hardwired - then why did my account get corrupt? That's what I'm trying to understand. === alberto is now known as Guest85374 [17:37] hi, do someone here have an hp mini thanks? [17:37] bullgard4: no advantage firefox -chat is the same as seamonkey -chat. [17:37] jrib: how do i change the terminal directory to desktop? [17:37] Roasted: unless your account login is somehow connected to samba, I don't see a connection. [17:37] I have created an account for all users in a local network who are sharing one account for the whole class, but now I am unable to keep students out of changing the common password in ubuntu server,In fedora i used the trick of using minimum password age [17:37] Blackbird2, cool :) [17:38] stefg: Did we not notice some minor differences the other day? [17:38] lifesengine, cd ~/Desktop [17:38] Cr33pz0r: there are some places which can consume a lot of disk space. Check your home directory first. Then you could have a look at /var/cache, especially /var/cache/apt/archives [17:38] hardwired - I had an XP install running to test my account on Samba in a virtual machine, so I COULD have been connected at the time. I just dont get it to be honest. [17:38] Here I was thinking I did something radically wrong! Anyway. Will install now, and this time it will work! [17:38] Thanks, everyone, for helping this poor noob about. [17:38] bullgard4: #chatzilla is on oftc :-) [17:38] jrib: thanks [17:39] joeb3_: I don't want bizzers to point to localhost, I want to make a shortcut for localhost/bizzers [17:39] Roasted: me neither, after your explanation, I don't see any reason for the account breaking [17:39] jrib: the command you gave me doesn't work [17:39] 216.239.37.99 www.google.com g isn't working either :( [17:39] jrib: unrar e file_name.rar [17:39] lifesengine: when something doesn't work, please explain what happened (paste errors, etc) [17:39] jettek disable access to the passwd command [17:39] stefg: I know. But rather quiet.

I just need to play them under Ubuntu. [18:19] sobersabre: did you mean /var/log/messages? rather than /var/log/syslog? [18:19] hi, do someone here have an hp mini thanks? [18:19] aethelrick: I meant /var/log/syslog (We're on Debian/Ubuntu ...right?) [18:20] hey guys. does anyone know why my flash reaction time is a little off? like if i press pause on youtube it plays for a little bit before pausing. and on flash games, if a mouse over a button i have to wait a bit for the sound effect to go [18:20] got a quick question, did an update and got 2 kernel versions in grub how do i remove the older one?

[18:28] i was just hoping someone here might be able to read the report and see if they notice something [18:28] ^Cheeky: yeah [18:28] it might be something really simple that Iḿ making more difficult [18:28] sobersabre i hope this logs help you [18:29] Rynt nothing is simple about webcams in linux [18:29] wrinkliez: i get it too though always thought it was a adobe linux thing [18:29] its weird that ubuntu knows its a uvc cam [18:29] Wast3d2009: what is the link ?

On my schools network we must log in with a constant MAC in order to access the network. In windows this is not a problem because i was able to easily spoof it. But on Ubuntu every time I log in it creates a new Ethernet Adapter and assigns it a random MAC address. I have tried changing the MAC address but I cannot find a way to make it persistent because ev [18:31] for that kernel entry that is [18:32] sobersabre this log contains ifnromations for you? [18:32] Jordan_U, yes they do. it's just this one audio codec that VLC apparently doesn't have, and that totem(mplayer) does have, but totem/mplayer crashes on one of my Ubuntu boxes. [18:32] whats better zune hd or itouch? [18:32] <^Cheeky> haitiankid4lyf: well the only option i see is that, resue current installtions and when i click choose that it says its in rescue mode, but is the same as installing it from scratch [18:33] Scripters?

[18:47] FFS [18:47] i dont want to lose 2GB MySQL datas [18:47] -.- [18:47] coder_: I thought that sometimes those listings on the net are given like a standard ls, and give you a .. link which links to the parent directory. Wget may not be aware of those, and just blindly follow them? [18:47] This is god damn not fair [18:47] Wast3d2009: backup ftw [18:47] yep [18:47] ChogyDan, any way i can avoid that then?

[18:51] Anyone please? really need help with it, how do i enable wireless on ubuntu minimzl [18:51] should i just be using debian? no more ubuntu for the powerpc's [18:51] the best place to add the export statement for the java home variable is the /etc/environment file, if that hasn't been said. [18:51] coder_: you can set the max recursions if everything is in a single directory [18:51] Yes, I usually do that, but I want a script to add to my resume.d folder so the fan will restart after suspend-to-ram [18:51] Cr33pz0r, ubuntu minimal? why are you running something like that? Get Xubuntu i guess [18:51] ChogyDan, what's the flag? [18:51] Cr33pz0r: Within the minimal install CD, or do you want to know what to add to a minimal install?

What was your setup? [18:52] coder_ : did you mean toadd that to my resume.d file? [18:52] Anyone please? really need help with it, how do i enable wireless on ubuntu minimzl [18:53] coder_: [18:53] javahomenotdef: be sure to include it as an export statement, e.g. "export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0.08" [18:53] oops [18:53] coder_:http://pastebin.com/d2bfe4ce4 [18:53] Jordan_U a big community + game servers [18:53] Googlimoog, you were asking how to do 'fan2' with root privileges with your password auto entered [18:53] Cr33pz0r, I had some luck getting wifi working by using modprobe on the driver. [18:53] Cr33pz0r, do you know the name of the driver? [18:53] modprobe? [18:53] Is UNB any faster or "snappier" than Desktop? On a Eee I mean...

[18:54] coder_: yes, except I need it as an add-in for resume.d so the fan (which I usually start manually) will resume after the laptop hybernates/resumes [18:55] meanfish: ok, i'll add the word export before in the environment file [18:55] Googlimoog, i'm not sure what resume.d is. Is it a shell script? if so, echo "password" | sudo fan2 would work [18:55] Cr33pz0r: What are you trying to compile and why? [18:55] meanfish: is it EXPORT or export? [18:55] . [18:55] javahomenotdef, perhaps EXPORT [18:55] coder_:yeah it just says to cd to the folder, type make, then make install [18:55] coder_: That is not only insecure but won't work [18:56] javahomenotdef: use lower case. however, to get it to work may require a system restart, due to the scope of the configuration. [18:56] resume.d are scripts that are used by the system upon waking up from hybernate/suspend [18:56] Jordan_U, what is insecure? [18:56] I installed ubunrtu minimal , cause i wanne start fropm their, but i need wifi support [18:56] Cr33pz0r, does the file /etc/modprobe.d/madwifi.conf exist? [18:56] coder_: Including a password in plain text [18:56] Cr33pz0r: What are you trying to compile and why? [18:56] Casper1, verify that you have "sudo apt-get install libxv-dev libgtk2.0-dev" both installed before you try "make" [18:56] meanfish: let me check [18:57] Jordan_U, true, but he was asking how to do it. That is an effective way, in my experience, and the odds of someone looking resume.d for a password are slim to none [18:57] ZykoticK9: I do [18:57] meanfish: JAVA_HOME=/NO_BOOTDIR error when compiling openjdk7 using ant for ubuntu [18:57] Zykotick9: don't you need build-essential to do make? just a question [18:57] Jordan_U: nothing i just need to have internet access on my ubuntu [18:57] hmm... [18:57] ptarrant, yes you do - but i assumed he already had that [18:57] ok then i give up, debian it is! [18:57] does ubuntu have the ability to accept more ram than w98? [18:58] coder_: resume.d is run as root anyway, and it's much more secure to allow a single command to be run without a password in /etc/sudoers [18:58] meanfish: doesn't exist [18:58] Balsaq: very yes. [18:58] Zykotick9 ahh, no offense meant, just sitting here reading the scrolling txt to try to learn more about ubuntu [18:58] is anyone still helping me? [18:58] meanfish: it says in the log "We cannot execute /NO_BOOTDIR/bin/java (yet i am trying to compile java) [18:58] i am getting no luck in fixing my sound. the constant beep still persists. Can anyone help me fix this problem?!?! [18:58] ptarrant, no offense was taken :) [18:58] Jordan_U, forgot about the sudoers file [18:59] Jordan_U, so, that is better. [18:59] Cr33pz0r: okay. hm...is there anything in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf? [18:59] chisomuche: is it from the motherboard before boot up into your OS? [18:59] meanfish- that file exists, and it has some lines in it [18:59] need help compiling an emulator some1 please help [18:59] can you list them? [19:00] I'd lke to see the specific modules that are blacklisted [19:00] coder_: ok, so add that line "echo "password" | fan2" to an existing resume.d file? [19:00] meanfish: here is my idea;1998 dell dimension xps has 3 slots for ram, i want to try 512 per slot (pc133 sdram)...it has 256 in each slot now [19:00] can i pm you? [19:00] how do I completely uninstall transmission? [19:00] sure. [19:00] Googlimoog, no, i forgot that resume.d is already run as root. Just put fan2 and it should run with root priviliges [19:00] Casper1: What emulator? [19:00] pitput: sudo dpkg --purge transmission (not it might be part of ubuntu-desktop, thus not a wise thing to do) [19:00] Jordan_u:XE [19:01] javahomenotdef- when i get to my ubuntu 9.04 login, the beep starts and dies off. But as soon as i long in the beep stays no matter what. Even if i am not trying to play any audio [19:01] ok, thanks -- I'll have a go at it. [19:01] please someone help me, I will be soo grateful [19:01] chisomuche: check your wireless options, sometimes wireless programs ping a beep based on the distance from the wireless router [19:01] Casper1, do you have all these installed "sudo apt-get install build-essential libgtk2.0-dev libasound2-dev libxv-dev libxxf86vm1 libxxf86vm-dev" [19:02] meanfish: it says in the log "We cannot execute /NO_BOOTDIR/bin/java" (yet i am trying to compile java) [19:02] david8988, what is your question? === ptarrant is now known as ptarrant_away [19:02] ZykoticK9, ill check but im pretty sure, dont know about the last 2 [19:02] I am pulling out my hair trying to get my ATI vga to work, it boot fine from fresh install but after trying to enable restricted drivers it broke. Spent about an hour now following three different guides (not at the same time) to get it working again [19:02] javahomenotdef, http://raymondtay.blogspot.com/2008/09/building-openjdk-7.html [19:03] how would i fix that? [19:03] How do I go into the directory for transmission on 9.04? [19:03] david8988, you mean the VGA output? or just the main screen? [19:03] ZykoticK9: Yep I have all [19:03] bucky: i'll check it out, thanks [19:03] javahomenotdef- how would i fix that? [19:03] How can I correct a "segmentation fault" error I get when trying to run xbindkeys-config? [19:04] is there a command like `less` but that starts from the end of a file rather than the beginning? D: [19:04] chisomuche: go into whatever your wireless manager is, in the mean time, look for the Fn_FX shortcut to disable sound [19:04] Casper1: It looks like that is available in the repos, is there a reason you are compiling from source? [19:04] press END [19:04] um well it crashes when trying to initialise GDM then I am stuck in console [19:04] Casper1: the compiled version of openjdk has different licensing than compiling it from source [19:04] Jordum_U: repos? I didnt know there was another way [19:05] Casper1, have you tried running make as your user instead of root? [19:05] javahomenotdef: okay ill try it. thanks [19:05] Casper1: You can install it with apt-get or synaptic, the package is named gxemul [19:05] david8988, it only takes about 30 minutes to install ubuntu, so unless there are multiple accounts, i would just boot up in the live cd, copy my files to an external hard drive, then reinstall ubuntu. I'm no expert with ATI stuff [19:06] Jordum_U: K thx ill try it real quick [19:06] david8988, sorry i can't be more help [19:06] coder yes I suppose that would have been the quickest [19:06] time to sleep [19:06] gn [19:06] How can I correct a "segmentation fault" error I get when trying to run xbindkeys-config? [19:06] david8988, although, you could download the ubuntu 9.10 alpha 6, and install that... its pretty stable for me. [19:06] hi all [19:06] magical, less -G will start at the end of the file [19:07] david8988, (or a daily build) [19:07] want to image drive for new pc's without my personal info, how to delete stuff? [19:07] I think I will then it so I feel like I gain something [19:07] Jordan_U: working right now. how did you find out the name of the package tho, for future problems that could save me a lot of time [19:07] is there a command line i can use to restart my mouse driver? [19:07] Hi, anyone had luck booting to ubuntu 9.10 alpha 6 using USB? [19:07] any fakeraid experts around? i have a root-on-fakeraid install, and the motherboard just croaked. can anyone suggest how to migrate the raid to a new controller? [19:07] david8988, ok, well, i have to go... [19:07] Jordan_U, thanks! I didn't know xe was in the repos - why the strange name i wonder? but thanks! [19:07] ankur, use the USB startup disk creator [19:07] ankur: yes, but you should ask in +1 [19:08] coder_, I tried that...could get to the boot menu, but after that it keeps restarting the X server infintely [19:08] infinitely* [19:08] hey [19:08] ChogyDan, what's +1?

[19:11] damnyankee i can send you my xorg.conf and it should fix it [19:11] pulseaudio on a nvidia chipset [19:12] How can I correct a "segmentation fault" error I get when trying to run xbindkeys-config?

[19:12] damnyankee i had the same problem [19:12] acculy, ill sneakernet it. go ahead. [19:12] damnyankee: Add your monitors' Horiz and Vert rates to the xorg file.

I keep getting dependency errors [19:15] Jared555: Hmm... I know that I've had some problems on my sys which I think is also nvidia you might (if possible) want to try some other sound system if the program (or whatever ur using) supports anything else ie just alsa or jack [19:15] damnyankee: Look up your Monitors' model number on google. You need horizsync and vertrefresh added to xorg.conf [19:15] damnyankee what monitor are you running? [19:15] jmad980: I tried switching VLC to ALSA but had the same issue [19:15] razor_X: You got this one?

[19:22] ^Cheeky: You could also do it from the minimal install CD, basically anything that you can boot that is a linux system with a partitioner === chrisj is now known as magikid [19:23] hey i'm trying to compile a C program with headers for the first time in ubuntu and i'm getting undefined reference to functionname please help!

[19:23] i did i can run a simple C program but not with headers [19:23] heh. now to beat on wine. === kb is now known as Guest76339 [19:24] ubuntu: you might need to use the -I. option [19:24] ^Cheeky: You may also be able to use super grub disk to boot from kernels that you have successfully booted with before [19:24] ubuntu: or -I [19:24] wats tht option ? [19:24] ubuntu: also, make sure that the build-essential package is installed [19:24] ubuntu: exactly what I said [19:24] ubuntu: it tells gcc where to look for headers [19:24] yah i installed the build essential package [19:24] ^Cheeky: The problem is that your BIOS doesn't support reading past a certain area on your disk, so any files past that point are unreadable [19:24] Jordan_U: any idea? [19:25] ^Cheeky: There may also be a BIOS update available that removes that limitation [19:25] so this is how im running the program gcc lab1.c -o lab. [19:25] damnyankee you there? [19:25] how do i tell thegcc wer to look for headers ? [19:25] ubuntu: where are the headers for it located? [19:25] Casper1: What are you trying to emulate?

Do you know why it's not default for Ubuntu?

It is the default for Ubuntu Studio [19:31] exit [19:31] hi, I have got internet in a disk, I put in CD in PC, and I have got google and yahoo..., but yesterday CD crashes, how can I recover it?

I tried to disable everything related to tooltips in gconf-editor, and it had no effect. jaunty [19:40] already asked at ##gnome [19:41] I even tried to reboot [19:41] still no effect [19:41] IdleOne: the atom maybe? o a problem whit the windows manager? [19:42] JohannesSM64, iirc you cant disable them. [19:42] nessen: try disabling some services you don't need at startup. [19:42] nessen: you can run xubuntu, not sure if that will speed up the boot process though [19:43] i made a folder a share, and recently removed the share, but it still shows up and is accessible on the Network. How do I fix this??? [19:43] hello i'm pretty new to ubuntu and was wondering on how to get the flash player to work its been acting up ever since i installed 9.04 [19:43] Hi All, my Ubuntu 9.04 freezes quite frequently on my desktop PC. Previously i saw similar things when for a short time i installed debian on the same machine. Windows works fine with no specific problem on the machine, so i think that the hardware should be ok. I am suspecting some compatibility problems with linux kernel, but i need to know how i can find it out and then if possible to amend with some settings only... Can [19:43] anybody help me? Computer data is here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/279820/ [19:44] frojnd: It looks like there are drivers available for that model so if it doesn't work come back here and we can try to help you find the best place to find / install the drivers [19:44] nessen: Are you usin Ubuntu netbook remix? [19:44] Jordan_U, I don't but I am downloading Ubuntu Studio right now and was wondering about what real-time was [19:44] hey how come i cant get sound in windows 7 running in vbox i already tried installing the driver and guest addtions(first) [19:45] teehee: is there a sound device in device manager? [19:45] teehee, Look in the device manager [19:45] teehee: is their sound enabled in tyhe settings for the virtualbox? [19:45] Jordan_U: no the UNR doesnt work for my NB100 [19:45] Jordan_U: it's not for me that's the problem... a father of my gf has that device (I've installed drivers for it it's working) but he said now that xsane does open but there a black and white picture... I guess he doesn't know how to use it [19:46] I'm having some problems with the trackpad. [19:46] it comes up in as other devices multimedia audio controller [19:46] JohannesSM64, how about http://geekybits.blogspot.com/2007/07/ubuntu-tip-turning-off-tooltips.html [19:46] if there would only be somekind of a howto for newbies for xsane [19:46] It's a MacBookPro, you see, so, so I'm used to it being fairly sensible [19:46] I installed gsynaptics and even enabled SHMConfig, and I still see no advanced options. [19:47] teehee: ok, check the devices for the box, you may have to power off, set the sound server then power back on [19:47] joeb3_: I did that [19:47] no effect [19:47] frojnd: It could be that he doesn't know how to use it but scanner driver problems are common enough that I wouldn't assume it's user error [19:47] JohannesSM64, logout? [19:47] it's from 2007 [19:47] yes, i did [19:47] when i plug in usb stick from cli, how do i access iy? [19:47] how do i remove the share from a folder that is listed as not shared o_O? [19:47] Cr33pz0r: see if it's mounted somewhere under /media [19:48] only cdrom and cdrom0 [19:48] Blackbird_: Have you seen the macbook pro pages on wiki.ubuntu.com? [19:48] Cr33pz0r: run mount on its own, it will tell you where its munted [19:48] i disabled visual effects and now i cant reenable them :( [19:48] doesn't list it [19:48] ok what the heck [19:49] what do i do :( [19:49] Cr33pz0r: you may need to manually mount it [19:49] how i do that ? [19:49] Cr33pz0r: then you will need to manually mount it [19:49] the folder /home/zopiac/FrostWire exists, but isnt showing up in Nautilus (no it isn't hidden) [19:49] I have an icon file. How do I use it to update my icons? [19:49] Cr33pz0r: that depends on what it's /dev device node is [19:49] how do i find out? [19:49] audio is enabled but what should the driver and controller be set to [19:49] Cr33pz0r: if you run: sudo fdisk -l yu will see the partition name. E.g. /dev/sdb1 [19:49] Just wondering if anyone has installed tellico 2.0 from source and if they have can they walk me through it [19:49] plz help i cant re-enable visual effects [19:49] Cr33pz0r: check sudo blkid [19:50] okay found the thing /dev/sdc1 [19:50] zopiac: If you run "nautilus /home/zopiac/FrostWire" does it open the directory in nautilus? [19:50] Cr33pz0r: ok so what filesystem is it? [19:50] fat32 === LinoSP is now known as LinoSP|Away [19:50] Jordan_U: Yes. It also shows up in Thunar [19:50] Cr33pz0r: ext2, fat32, ntfs [19:51] ActionParsnip: fat32 [19:51] Cr33pz0r: next you need to make a mount point for it, like /media/sdc1 [19:51] I hate nautilus >_< only good thing about it is Network viewing [19:51] Cr33pz0r: great, ok you can now run: sudo mkdir /media/data [19:51] Cr33pz0r: you mount to an empty folder [19:51] audio is enabled but what should the driver and controller be set to [19:51] zopiac: If you add other files / folders in /home/zopiac do they show up? === blaze is now known as Guest72609 [19:51] okay i made the dir? now whats the mount line? [19:52] Jordan_U: what do you mean? [19:52] Jordan_U: yes, if i make a new folder it shows up [19:52] does anyone know how to install source using the cmake command? [19:52] Cr33pz0r: sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdc1 /media/ [19:52] I've been using compiz but then i disabled visual effects through the appearance menu cause im stupid like that. now i cant re-enable them [19:52] Cr33pz0r: you can now run: sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /media/data -o uid=1000 [19:52] Cr33pz0r: where /media/ is the directory that you are mounting it to [19:52] tnx [19:52] is there an option to gnome/kde to get thumbnails with mkv files which holds descriptions,like title,bradcast day, description etc? [19:52] Cr33pz0r: replace the 1000 in ActionParsnip's command with your user's UID number [19:53] Cr33pz0r: you can mount to ANY folder you like, just not in /proc [19:53] how would I, from the commandline, change a user so that they can administer the system. I cannot login graphically to any of my admin accounts, only my user accounts are working [19:53] hi, how can i wipe a file from gui? [19:53] ActionParsnip: Thanks got it know :D [19:53] lstarnes: just gives all users full access, makes life easier [19:53] any thumbnailer, or can mplayer/vlc use of those extra data embedded in mkv files? [19:53] zopiac: I am wondering if nautilus might be caching its list of files and just needs to be refreshed somehow to see the FrostWire dir, if you add a test file and nautilus also doesn't see the new test file that would confirm the problem [19:53] Cr33pz0r: thats all their is to it for any partition === kb is now known as Guest14466 [19:54] i've got a device on hdc3 [19:54] please help [19:54] but mount doesn't detect it [19:54] i cant get my compiz effects back [19:54] EricTheHax: What graphics card do you have? [19:54] 6150 se [19:54] compiz has been workin dine [19:54] *fine [19:55] until [19:55] how do i unhide files in Gnome? like make it permanently unhidden [19:55] i disabled effects through appearance [19:55] mgv2 why not use the wipe command [19:55] now i cant get em back [19:55] Axsuul: you can press ctrl+h to show hiden files enable [19:55] ActionParsnip: but how do i make it so the file is not hidden anymore [19:55] Jordan_U: ill figure it out later, i g2g [19:55] make it a regular file [19:55] for lack of a better term [19:55] EricTheHax: does "glxinfo | grep direct" give you "direct rendering = yes" ? [19:56] Axsuul: delete the . from the start of the file, be careful though, some files are expected to start with . [19:56] glxinfo? is that a command [19:56] EricTheHax, Yes, run it in a terminal. [19:56] what is xubuntu for again? is that the light-weight distro? [19:56] MrPocketz: does it not show up in: sudo fdisk -l ? [19:56] seyDoggy: it's a lighter version of ubuntu that uses xfce instead of gnome [19:56] seyDoggy, Yes it uses the XCDE [19:57] yes it does [19:57] seyDoggy, XFCE rather [19:57] seyDoggy: its the same as all the other buntus, just uses xfce by default [19:57] hi. I am getting an error "/usr/lib/gio/modules/libgiogconf.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64". how can i fix it? i have installed ia32-libs. [19:57] seyDoggy: its still ubuntu and is an official release [19:57] wow, tnx everyone. fast responses. [19:57] good call [19:57] yes and no [19:57] yes it gives me direct rendering: yes [19:57] seyDoggy: yuo can install xfce4 on ubuntu, log off and select xfce as your desktop [19:57] where did system > preferences > sessions go? [19:58] anybody? [19:58] I'm booing off a USB drive, and i'm looking for the internal SSD [19:58] seidos : system/prefs/starup programs. [19:58] i've got /dev/sda 1, 2, 3 and /dev/sdb1 [19:58] so if sdb1 is the SSD, than its only the first partition [19:58] because i should have a filsystem there. [19:58] ActionParsnip: audio is enabled but what should the driver and controller be set to [19:59] nascentmind, does uname -m return something about 64-bit? [19:59] teehee: theres no single answer, try all the different ones to test [19:59] ...... [19:59] MrPocketz: its the same mount commands for each, you can see whats already mounted with the mount command [19:59] and anything in the edubuntu distro is readily available for any other distro, right? [19:59] EricTheHax: Can you patebin the output of "compiz --replace & sleep 20; metacity --replace" ? [19:59] joeb3_, i am running an AIR app which is 32 bit on a 64 bit sys. [20:00] nascentmind: you may find you need to tell the app you are running which lib directory to use [20:00] nascentmind, so your 32 bit app is trying to use the 64 bit libs [20:00] ActionParsnip, i am running an AIR app. [20:00] joeb3_, yes it should be using the 32 bit libs. [20:00] scaine: I have programs that startup that aren't specified in startup applications. Where can I stop them from starting up? The "automatically remember running applications..." check box in options is unchecked. [20:00] I've just installed a LAMP stack through sudo apt-get. I installed the apache2 package, but my httpd.conf is empty? why is this and how do I fix? [20:01] ChrizC: try apache2.conf === Holeyshoe_ is now known as Holeyshoe [20:01] seidos: What starts up that's not in there? [20:01] scaine: open office [20:01] lstarnes: *facepalm* thank you. [20:01] seidos : OpenOffice quickstarter is specified from tools/options in Openoffice itself. [20:02] how do I delete a file that gives me a "permission denied" error when trying to delete via file browser? (I'm on the only account on the OS) [20:02] seidos: check in system -> prefs -> startup apps [20:02] ChrizC: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP might help too [20:02] seidos: but I think all that does is put an entry into system/prefs/startup anyway... [20:02] scaine: there is no entry in system/prefs/startup [20:02] ChrizC: try: gksudo nautilus [20:02] I think I should create a bug in launchpad for this one [20:02] *bug report [20:03] seidos: also look in ~/.config/autostart [20:03] ChrizC: You'll want to use sudo to edit the file, gksu gedit /path/to/file [20:03] ActionParsnip: thanks [20:03] seidos : Okay, weird. Cos yeah - it just puts an "OpenOffice Quickstart" entry in there... [20:03] ActionParsnip: thank you. [20:03] seidos : not sure where else that startup could be coming from... [20:03] scaine: I've never configured openoffice to start up [20:04] joeb3_,ActionParsnip, any way i can fix it? [20:04] seidos : well, I guess it's worth checking the file that ActionParsnip mentioned. [20:04] ActionParsnip: gksu nautilus is a bad thing to go about recommending to new people [20:04] nascentmind, I don't know how to install the 32 bit libs on 64bit system. [20:04] scaine: I'll double check open office, but I never enabled it to startup [20:04] nascentmind: with it being proprietary its hard to troubleshoot [20:04] it isn't proprietary. its open source. [20:05] ActionParsnip, it isn't proprietary. its open source. sometimes even acroread gives this problem. [20:05] if I share a folder from nautilus, how can I subsequently edit that share from the CLI? [20:06] nascentmind: check about halfway down this link: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=941093 [20:06] hi, does anybody know how can i get the gilouche theme? [20:06] hello how can i go to ubutnu-it? [20:06] boss_mc: sudo nano /etc/samba/smb.conf [20:06] #ubuntu-it [20:06] ura: /join #ubuntu-it [20:06] my cd drive is not opening when I press the button to eject, and when I click eject fromit's icon - it's not "mounted" [20:06] thank you very much [20:06] ActionParsnip: the shares don't appear to be in that file === Enissay_ is now known as Enissay [20:07] boss_mc: hmm, thats how I define shares maybe gconf has some mystical way of sharing stuff [20:07] Helloes [20:07] hi, nm-applet shows "device not ready" under wireless [20:07] boss_mc: i can show you my file if you want, its a very simple file [20:07] does anyone know why this happens ? === jean is now known as Guest10193 [20:08] ActionParsnip: yeah, I thought that too [20:08] http://pastebin.com/d212509b6 === andref__ is now known as netcrsah [20:08] hi, when I run gedit in root "su", I get a Gconf error, but when I use "su -" i get "Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: " how do I fix this? [20:08] boss_mc: http://pastebin.com/f441e6a99 === netcrsah is now known as netcrash [20:08] najjems: you shouldn't use su [20:08] najjems: use sudo for non-graphical applications [20:08] ActionParsnip: I have some shares defined by nautilus that I want to remove and configure with /etc/samba/smb.conf [20:08] boss_mc: all you need is the bottom part, the bit in the brackets is the share name, the rest is self explanatory [20:08] najjems: for graphical applications, you should use gksudo or kdesu [20:09] desu [20:09] here's the deal, i have to get on skype in about an hour, i am on a laptop that has an integrated mic in it, i tried the skype mic tester and it wasn't working so i need to know hwere the mic settings are the recording settings [20:09] hmm, so this is a normal error? [20:09] ActionParsnip: yeah, I know how that works, I'm trying to remove the other shares [20:09] boss_mc: i'm not sure about nautilus and shares === sharperguy2 is now known as sharperguy [20:09] ...... [20:09] my friend does this and it works fine for him [20:09] Okay, going to the wiki doesn't help one bit, and now I realised that, um, my fans aren't running. [20:09] EricTheHax: so you run an nvidia, if you run: nvidia-settings does it say anything about no driver? [20:09] najjems: yes, but that method is not the recommended method === LinoSP|Away is now known as LinoSP [20:10] EricTheHax: you appear to not have xgl === xx is now known as Guest71695 [20:10] EricTheHax: see what you get from glxinfo | grep -i direct [20:10] MacBookPRo, I heard you have to hack the SMC to get them to run or something. Is this true? [20:10] like, the audio recording is not recording which makes no sense as i know it works [20:10] any reason why my install of apache does not include the mod_dir module? It is not available to load or install [20:10] Plecebo: what does mod_dir do? [20:10] lstarnes: oh, okay, but how come? [20:10] Hello all. From my Ubuntu 9.04 I am controlling several Windows installations (virtual & physical) with the "Terminal Server Client" application / RDP protocol. All OS installations in the network are BE keyboards, but somehow the TS Client scrambles my keyboard settings and what I get is a mixture of BE and US keyboard settings. Can anybody help me resolving this, please: [20:10] ActionParsnip: cheers anyhow [20:11] boss_mc: np man [20:11] najjems: su requires a root password and neither sudo nor su properly handle the environment with graphical applications [20:11] what package is the "human-login" theme in? [20:11] lstarnes, it is the way apache knows what file to load by default (index.html) [20:11] direct rendering: yes [20:11] sorry i have a problem with association === azarion is now known as anahel [20:11] so wat u want me to do in nvidia-settings? [20:12] Plecebo, type sudo a2enmod. then type dir. Does it say already installed? [20:12] if i try click on to an icon dragon player start [20:13] yes it has the driver, yes i installed the restricted driver right when i installed ubuntu, yes its up to date. [20:13] Plecebo: do you have apache2.2-common installed? [20:13] Plecebo: try sudo a2enmod dir [20:13] lstarnes: okay gotcha. but I'm going to be editing some .c files of the kernel (to create new syscalls), running gedit on normal user will allow that? [20:13] najjems: use gksudo gedit [20:13] lstarnes, it says it is installed, hmm odd [20:14] this didnt happen till i tried disabling effects to get better fps out of a game and it didnt work anyway [20:14] joeb3_, Module dir already enabled [20:14] I've just installed kubuntu, my screen resolution is only 800x600. I can't change the resolution at "display" - the max is 800x600. How do I fix that? I want to runt 1024x786. Help is greatly appreciatet :) [20:15] ciao [20:15] Ok, networking issue: I have installed the drivers for my wireless Broadcom 4306 (rev 3) wireless card, but... I cant get it to find/connect to any wireless networks at all. [20:15] !list [20:15] This is not a file sharing channel (or network). If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [20:15] joeb3_, my issue is that my site won't serve up the index.html file, it works if I got to site.com/index.html but not when i got to site.com [20:15] EricTheHax: Have you enabled compositing for metacity? [20:15] has anybody got a linux version of Notepad++? [20:15] just a sec [20:16] lstarnes: okay thank you for your help. :) [20:16] Holeyshoe: How did you install the drivers? [20:16] using b43-fwcutter [20:16] Does anybody know any software to make an overall compatibility check with Ubuntu? (i have some problems with my computer and it would be nice to analyze and find out if something is not compatible with my operating system..) [20:16] Plecebo: that's something to do with your apache configuration. Can you access your httpd.conf? [20:16] yeah its still enabled [20:16] ChrizC: I thought ubuntu used apache2.conf [20:16] ChrizC, apache2.conf or httpd.conf? I own the server so have access to modify both [20:16] istarnes: it can use either. [20:16] ChrizC: the way configuration works in ubuntu (and debian) for apache2 is a bit strange [20:17] Paul` [20:17] bunch of pansies [20:17] ^ lol === |Draglor| is now known as Draglor [20:17] anyway, back to my original question, has anybody got a linux version of Notepad++? [20:17] EricTheHax: Compositing in metacity is separate from "Desktop Effects" which uses compiz. If metacity is using composite it can interfere with compiz starting [20:18] ChrizC: Can Wine it, but there are good alternatives as well [20:18] sebsebseb: link me? :) [20:18] !gedit | ChrizC [20:18] ChrizC: Text Editors: gedit (GNOME), Kate (KDE), mousepad (Xfce4) - Terminal-based: nano, vi/vim, emacs - For HTML/CSS editors, see !html - For programming editors and IDE, see !code [20:18] sebsebseb: I need ones with syntax highlighting [20:18] joe! [20:18] my apache2.conf http://ubuntu.pastebin.ca/1581690 [20:18] joe is nice. [20:18] ChrizC: Kate I think, which is yep a KDE app [20:19] Okay. Um. I'm having a rather big problem. [20:19] ChrizC: so it will put on KDE stuff if not already on there [20:19] EricTheHax: Can you pastebin the output of "killall metacity && compiz & sleep 20; metacity --replace" ? [20:19] One, I believe that, as with all MacBookPros, the ACPI is not reading temperature properly and thus is not turning on the fans. [20:19] NO clue how to fix that. [20:19] ChrizC: Gedit has syntax highlighting [20:19] it worked!!!! disabling metacity's composition worked! THANK YOU! YOU SAVED ME! [20:19] httpd.conf is blank [20:19] Jordan_U: does it oh? [20:19] ciao a tutti [20:20] i have compiz again! [20:20] lol [20:20] sebsebseb: Yes [20:20] haha [20:20] hi [20:20] Just running the "normal" appearence settings is too much for my graphics card, === kb is now known as Guest34257 [20:20] if I have normal on I can't play games lol. [20:20] EricTheHax: You might lose it in about 10 seconds, that's normal though [20:20] can anybody read my txt [20:20] onaogh: no [20:20] ok [20:20] In Nautilus, where can I edit 'open with' commands? [20:20] wat u mean lose it in 10 seconds? [20:21] how to clear open office recent files so i can image drive for others [20:21] Jordan_U, I installed with "sudo b43-fwcutter -w /lib/firmware wl_apsta_mimo.o" [20:21] if you want edit Nautilus menus, use apt-get install nautilus-action or something [20:21] hi I need help [20:21] i closed the terminal handling a compiz and ran the command compiz --replace through a launcher [20:21] Plecebo, how did you install your "lamp" you should not have this problem at all. [20:21] EricTheHax: The command I had you run turned off desktop effects after 20 seconds in case something went wrong [20:22] is there a bug/virus on ubuntu 9.04? my theme just changed color from brown (standard default ) to blue [20:22] I have account a shell and I want to run a application who required to be set in /var/ [20:22] ? [20:22] How do I get the fans to actually run on a MacBookPro running Ubuntu? [20:22] i dont just run commands ppl tell me :P [20:22] Jaunty, if you're wondering. [20:22] duffydack, I used apt-get for apache === bluebottle is now known as Guest44926 [20:22] duffydack, I figured this was not a normal issue [20:22] Holeyshoe: Try installing with just "sudo dpkg-reconfigure b43-fwcutter" that way you will get the latest recommended firmware [20:22] i know wat compiz --replace does [20:22] meatbun: Ok I think something like that has happended to me at least once before, probably nothing to worry about [20:23] Plecebo, just apache? thats not quite a lamp setup [20:23] Jordan_U, it wouldn't work. The wireless is needed for net-connectivity. D: [20:23] Placebo, http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_dir.html#directoryindex [20:23] is the inte GMA x4500 supportet in ubuntu? [20:23] duffydack, no the full lamp stack. Apache2, MySQL, PHP [20:23] supported [20:23] i also knew that telling it wait 20 seconds and going back to metacity would mean no more effects [20:23] !intel | dothan [20:23] dothan: Ubuntu 9.04 has a known regression for some Intel graphics support. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/IntelPerformance and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130582 for more information. [20:23] dothan: 9.10 released on October 29th has Intel fixes [20:24] sebastien, now i just click on 'change desktop background', and click 'cancel', now it revert back to brown [20:24] it seems ppl dont know that anymore [20:24] anyone knows where sabnzbplus.ini is put in ubuntu? [20:24] sebsebseb: okey thx [20:24] duffydack, followed this guide: http://library.linode.com/lamp-guides/ubuntu-9.04-jaunty/ [20:24] dothan: and 8.10 and 8.04 will probably work much better with your card [20:24] Plecebo, ah mod_dir is the index listing... [20:25] I have account a shell and I want to run a application who required to be set in /var/ [20:25] Plecebo, whats exactly wrong with yours? [20:25] dothan: np [20:25] meatbun: ok [20:25] hello! anyone knows if there anyway to ignore some upgrades i dont need? every day the pop up, i close them everyday also but the next day they are there, anyone? [20:25] duffydack, if I go to site.com i get permission denied if I go to site.com/index.html no troubles [20:25] b0w: they are security updates, you should install them all [20:25] hi my tsclient app does not map my keyboard correctly using rdp (only) to connect to windows clients. your help in solving this would be appreciated [20:26] b0w: and if you don't install them, then yes it should pop up the next day asking you to install as well [20:26] GeForce4 420 Go Memory: 16 MB. [20:26] no idea how I game on this.. [20:26] EricTheHax: Sometimes compiz is disabled because it is causing users to get just a white screen, so whenever I am helping people with compiz problems I add the 20 second wait and metacity --replace so they aren't out of luck if that happens [20:26] Plecebo, sounds like you dont have Indexes set [20:26] -network.net [20:26] duffydack, sounds like I need to put a DirectoryIndex in my apache2.conf or something [20:26] Plecebo, mod_dir is only used when there is no html/php file...so it lists the contents of the folder instead [20:27] How good a graphics card (16mb, 32mb, etc) is required to run Compiz Extras? [20:27] duffydack, ahh ok, so its not really a mod_dir issue [20:27] sebsebseb: yeah i know but they are for firefox 3.0, right now i use firefox 3.5 lasta time when i installed this updates it messed up all the config and taked me back to 3.0, firefox 3.0 maked my system crash like every 15 mins [20:27] Plecebo, have you got an allow all line anywhere in your sites-enabled ? [20:27] sebastien, so strange. i was going to change theme back, but i click on 'background' saw no option, so i click 'canncel' [20:27] EricTheHax: Note that you were probably using composite even without "desktop effects" so if you actually disable composite in metacity you may get better frame rates [20:28] hi [20:28] Plecebo, its an issue with the site configs in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled [20:28] sebastien, so strange. i was going to change theme back, but i click on 'background' but saw no option, so i click 'canncel' [20:28] Plecebo, pastebin whatever you have in there (000-default by default) [20:28] duffydack, I have several entries in sites-enabled, do I need to put something in each one [20:28] meatbun: ok also your highlighting the wrong one by the way [20:28] duffydack, one second [20:28] b0w: ok I see [20:29] b0w: well even if your not using something anymore, when it is installed, you should get the update for it really [20:29] How good a graphics card (16mb, 32mb, etc) is required to run Compiz Extras? [20:29] duffydack, http://ubuntu.pastebin.ca/1581700 [20:29] sebsebseb, yeah. i know. did not mess with theme for a long time, and forgot [20:29] sebsebseb: I think I will buy a Nvidia card and not use the integrated X4500 because it's not a good card [20:30] dothan: yes Nivida has good Linux support [20:30] how do i know if my fan is working? [20:30] nessen: by hearing it work? [20:30] sebsebseb: yeah i know, but if it mess up everything again damn it takes me hours to fix it, i think i will just close the updtaes windows everyday and wait to 9.10 hehe [20:30] nessen: or feeling it, come out with air? [20:31] I need help with my sudoer file. [20:31] sebsebseb: yeah i'm running Ubuntu 9.04 with Geforce 6800 GT atm and it's working great [20:31] my sound works but mic doesnt work.. any help? [20:31] b0w: you can remove Firefox 3.0 [20:31] I want a user to be able to run 1 shell script as root without a password [20:31] so, does this look right: complim CINST=(/home/share/ci-installer.sh) NOPASSWD: CINST [20:31] Plecebo, that guide does a few things... any reason you followed that guide in particular? [20:31] can i ask you guys something that has nothing to do with ubuntu? [20:31] duffydack, I'm using a linode mostly, and it looked reasonable [20:31] lol [20:31] I installed openjdk runtime but java is not working in firefox how do I fix this? [20:31] b0w: of course it might be a good idea to have it installed before upgrading to karmic, in fact it might be a good idea to re install the whole of Ubuntu, unless the Ext3 to Ext4 conversion is good enough by then (I am not sure about the current state) [20:32] FirstSgt: I don't really think that would be possible. It'd be a perfect cracker's too, don't you agree? [20:32] Plecebo, your default config looks ok.. there should be a html file in /var/www with "It Works!" in it.. is there? [20:32] duffydack, do you have a better suggestion? [20:32] sebsebseb: but ubuntu 9.04 maked 3.0 their official browser so if i uninstall it i will uninstall a lot of good libraries [20:32] sebsebseb: well i dont hear or feel anything but im using a new netbook so im searching for some command [20:32] Hello, can I get Ubuntu Remix .iso and not .img? [20:32] b0w: if it removes ubuntu-desktop well hmm [20:32] sebsebseb: yeah thats what im going to do, save all my files on an ext drive and make a clean install of 9.10 [20:32] duffydack, there is an .html file there [20:33] Maritim: disagree [20:33] duffydack, with "It Works!" in it [20:33] Maritim: file has mod 755 (owner is root). shell script only EDITABLE by root, but can be executed by anyone [20:33] FirstSgt: you disagree that being able to run shell scripts as root without having to enter a password is not a security leak? [20:33] nessen: not sure if there is a command as such to know that your fan is working [20:33] Maritim: no, 1 specific shell script [20:33] I'm still having a problem with erratic start up application behavior, should I file a bug report on launchpad? [20:33] Maritim: by 1 specific user (sudoer) [20:34] nessen: also since your issue is really hardware you can try ##hardware [20:34] I suppose not, since I can't figure out what package the problem is with [20:34] Maritim: i see what you are saying if all shell scripts could be run by any user, yeah, lol [20:34] FirstSgt: sounds like something that isn't really doable. Why would yuo do that anyway? Maybe there's an alternative. [20:34] I'm out of ideas, perhaps I should work on something else [20:35] if my grapfikcard goes over 79 GPU temp, my computer goes down (nvidia geforce 260 gtx) any idea what i can do? [20:35] how can i read non latin characters while unicode doesnt helps? [20:35] Plecebo, Im not familiar with linode. Have you tried accessing the sites by IP or other domain, and not the virtual domains you made [20:35] Okay, I'm trying to connect to my wpa-psk secured AP, but wpa_supplicant keeps giving me "CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED" Anyone got any help on this? [20:36] duffydack, I think the virtual domains are working, I have several php sites running under the same method. [20:36] Plecebo, so its looking in the default location (/var/www) [20:36] * Biovore uses linode [20:37] soikre: http://mirrors.us.kernel.org/ubuntu-releases/jaunty/ [20:37] duffydack, also for this particular site if I got to http://site.com I get permission denied but if I instead go to http://sites.com/index.html it works great [20:37] windows [20:37] XD [20:37] duffydack, site.com is my virtual domain pointin to /srv/www/sites.com/public_html [20:37] Plecebo, check permissions on that folder then [20:38] In a world with out walls.. who needs windows and gates? [20:38] Plecebo, I "think" it should be world readable. [20:38] koopa_: Are the fans running properly? have you checked for dust? [20:38] Plecebo, so for each virtual domain, you have a "DirectoryIndex index.html" ? [20:39] Jordan_U, yeah i cleaned it up and everything [20:39] newest drivers [20:39] joeb3_, no I don't, I was hoping to have a default for all virtal domain [20:39] reinstalled system [20:40] duffydack, drwxr-xr-x 4 larry root 4096 2009-09-27 10:30 site.com [20:41] how can i read non latin characters while when doesnt helps?

Should I use the regular ubuntu or some others netbook specific distro (ubuntu netbook remix ?) [20:44] FirstSgt: do you want him to have sudo access to everything, or just to that one file? [20:44] okay [20:45] kifkif: try eeebuntu [20:45] lstarnes: i only want complim to execute 1 script as root [20:45] FirstSgt: but not access anything else as root? [20:45] correct [20:45] joeb3_, I just had added the DirectoryIndex bit but that did not seem to help [20:45] FirstSgt: then try joeb3_'s line [20:45] hey guys i installed swf-player i still can not play .swf files [20:45] lstarnes, joeb3_ : thanks [20:46] FirstSgt: ma\y help: http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/03/01/allowing-limited-sudo-access-with-visudo/ [20:46] hey, anyone here? === vatts is now known as vatts[off] [20:46] and knows something about DOSBox?

[20:48] I'm asking for an opinion [20:49] Hi there! I was wondering if someone could possibly help with a problem I'm having? I'm not entirely sure if it's a graphics card issue, or a monitor issue, but my monitor can't go past 800x600 screen resolution. And the max. resolution it can go is 1280x1024. [20:49] Prohibited: looks like its perfect, gets platinum rating http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=4992 [20:49] lstarnes, it says it doesn't exist [20:49] MarderIII, The eepc wasn't sell with an XP install disc. Can I create a partition with reinstalling windows ? And How can I create a windows install disc? [20:49] DreamsofanEagle: did you replace /path/to/mount/directory with the directory that you want to use as the C: drive in dosbox? [20:49] Prohibited: you need extra dlls but its possible [20:50] lstarnes, call me stupid, but its sitting on another hard drive and I want to use that [20:50] DreamsofanEagle: is that hard drive mounted under linux? [20:50] is there an irc channel for linux mint? [20:51] now it is, now what? [20:51] hey guys i installed swf-player i still can not play .swf files [20:51] !mint [20:51] There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), crunchbang (support in #crunchbang) [20:51] kk thank you [20:51] !mintsupport [20:51] Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint on irc.spotchat.org [20:51] kifkif: don't know about a windows installdisc, but could repartition with "gparted" and create an extra partion. Be carefull though. [20:51] !mint [20:51] DreamsofanEagle: what is its mount point under linux?

[20:52] DreamsofanEagle: how to play .swf files [20:52] dehqan: "rsync --dry-run -v source/directory destination/directory" [20:52] DreamsofanEagle: ls /media [20:52] DreamsofanEagle: that should list partitions that are mounted under /media [20:52] kifkif: recommend you make an "image" from the harddisk first with program "CloneZilla" so you can restore eeepc in case something goes wrong [20:53] matrix_, remove SWFdec player under synaptic, then install Adobe Flash 10 [20:53] matrix_, trust me, I had nothing but problems out of that damned thing [20:53] lstarnes, start over, are we talking under DOSBox or a terminal? [20:54] DreamsofanEagle: terminal [20:55] Ok, I have the drive and path under Ubuntu, now how do I feed this into DOSBox? === paragonc_ is now known as paragonc [20:55] <_xoff_> hi everybody... I have a problem with dhcpd and booting the system... my question is: do i need to change anything in dhcpd.conf when I only need a client ip? [20:55] kifkif: making an image before you do anything is _stronly_ recommended. Painfull personal experience :-( [20:55] DreamsofanEagle: MOUNT c mount-path [20:56] does not exist [20:56] &join mplayer [20:56] Well, my ubuntu install wiped out a crucial DLL in the WIndows bootsector.

[20:57] Hello, is it possible to get ubuntu remix as .iso ? [20:57] Why can't I find damned help files for these programs? [20:57] and not .img [20:57] Blackbird2: DLLs are not stored in the boot sector. What problem are you having? [20:58] soikre: http://mirrors.us.kernel.org/ubuntu-releases/jaunty/ [20:58] Jordan_U: Bad phrasing, sorry. THing is, I tried booting WIndows not 5 seconds ago, and I am missing a dll in system32 called "hal.dll", I believe. [20:58] Which...I don't even think was there before, but is apparently missing now. [20:58] Blackbird2: Why do you think this is related to Ubuntu? === DaZ is now known as _DaZ [20:58] Good day everyone , While copying a folder to a destination ,destination space was not enough ,and copying has not been compeleted ,how to find out which files have not been copied ? [20:58] I want a program that can MAKE ISO files [20:58] =p === _DaZ is now known as _D2Z [20:59] Jordan_U: Because the GRUB thing that pops up at bootup is what's causing it, that's why. [20:59] dehqan: "rsync --dry-run -v source/directory destination/directory" will tell you what hasn't been copied [20:59] how do change asound.state permently? sudo gedit. which i've used but after reboot it reverts back to the original asound.state, which doesn't work with my chaintech. thank you. [20:59] Ever since I Installed Ubuntu WIndows has been very, VERY hard to get up and running again === _D2Z is now known as ekont [20:59] Blackbird2: How? [20:59] Last night I got my bootsector wiped out and had to fix it with the recovery console === ekont is now known as DaZ [21:00] Jordan_U I only see .img no .iso in that link [21:00] Jordan_U for ubuntu remix [21:00] Jordan_U: POint is. What is that .DLL and why am I suddenly missing it after installing Ubuntu? [21:00] Or should I just go to #windows? [21:00] Prohibited: could use dd if its a CD or other partition [21:00] Blackbird2: I don't know, you might want to ask in ##windows [21:00] i run windows vista and ubuntu...multi boot flawlessly [21:01] would super grub disk work? [21:01] Blackbird2: You're not missing hal.dll, that's just the first file it looks for. [21:01] I'm wanting to make a ISO from a folder [21:01] Debolaz: So...you're saying I reinstall? [21:02] Prohibited: mkisofs -ofile.iso /path/to/folder [21:02] oops [21:02] Prohibited: mkisofs -o file.iso /path/to/folder [21:02] hm found a guide [21:02] Blackbird2: Google for missing hal.dll, there's quite a few pages explaining better than I ever could how to deal with the problem. :) [21:02] What's the package name of the Add/Remove programs thingy in Ubuntu? [21:02] I miss it in K =( [21:02] Prohibited I use isomaster search for it on synaptic package manager [21:02] rizzuh: synaptic? [21:03] no [21:03] rizzuh: software centre? [21:03] hey guys, how can I share a folder under ubuntu so others (eg. windows machines) can access using user/password pairs? WebDav? [21:03] Why are you asking me? ... [21:03] rizzuh: i'm guessing the mystery app [21:04] lstarnes, the program needs to be run under WIN32, so thanks anyway [21:04] DreamsofanEagle: try using wine for that [21:04] I need an exact name to install it, not a failed guess. [21:04] öäää [21:04] i ticked those mac fags off [21:04] öäöäö [21:04] Hello, is it possible to get ubuntu remix as .iso ? and not .img [21:05] rizzuh: sudo apt-get install synaptic software-store [21:05] soikre: Not ideal but https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UNR/Installation/Hard [21:05] ActionParsnip, no such thing as software-store [21:05] soikre: you can use ccd2iso to convert it [21:05] soikre: Why do you want an iso image? [21:05] the 9.04 repo has django 1.0.2, i need django 1.1, which can be found in the karmic repository [21:06] rizzuh: maybe its just a karmic thing [21:06] IDK :/ [21:06] is there any way for me to install that package only from the karmic repo? [21:06] But it's pretty useful. [21:06] cmwslw: you need it for jaunty. i wouldnt mix debs from different releases [21:06] !prevu | cmwslw [21:06] cmwslw: prevu is an automated, personal backporting utility. Check out https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Prevu for more details [21:07] cmwslw: Django looks like it'll backport nicely [21:07] cmwslw: Oh, no, I misspoke. It requires karmic's python-support [21:07] Jordan_U I need to install ubuntu as virtual box guest and someone recommended i use ubuntu remix as am using a netbook [21:08] o.o [21:08] Jordan_U but i wasnt able to install .img in virtualbox [21:08] oh well, i'll just install from source [21:08] Hey, computer janitor deleted a .deb I needed anyway to get it back? [21:09] Thanks Jordan_U , how to tell cp to copy remained files ? [21:09] dehqan: The same command, but without the --dry-run [21:09] m0r0n, which .deb was that ? [21:09] onaogh: Songbird [21:10] m0r0n: redownload it is all i can suggest [21:10] you used apt-get ? [21:10] what --dry-run do ? see distenation does not have enoughe space so destenation should be changes . [21:11] hola [21:11] soikre: UNR depends on having hardware accellerated 3D so make sure you enable 3D support in virtualbox and any guest additions needed [21:11] onaogh: Doesn't work, it says it's not there, I used Synaptic's I believe. Also I'm in Synapic's and it's not letting me install [21:11] what --dry-run do ? see distenation does not have enoughe space so destenation should be changes . Jordan_U [21:11] m0r0n: theres this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Songbird [21:12] dehqan: --dry-run doesn't actually perform the copy ( rsync is a program for doing inteligent copying ) but just print what it would do ( when you also use -v ) [21:12] does compiz fusion work well with an intel gma? [21:12] MarderIII, thanks, but can I restore a disk image if I touch the partitioning ? [21:13] dehqan: So what do you want to do exactly? Do you want to copy the remaining files to another destination? [21:14] Wolter, check compiz fusion's forums [21:14] yes. Jordan_U [21:14] i love ubuntu [21:15] Hey everybody, I have a quick question. I'm trying to set up a netbook with UNR and I'd like to be able to access everything on a home desktop PC remotely. What's the best way of doing this? [21:16] what is UNR [21:16] ubuntu netbook remix [21:16] onaogh: ubuntu netbook renmix [21:16] samba ? [21:16] Nitrodist, i checked the channel, thanks [21:16] !unr | onaogh [21:16] onaogh: Ubuntu Netbook Remix is a slightly altered version of Ubuntu, optimised for small screens. For more information, please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UNR - support in #ubuntu [21:16] onaogh: not secure over the internets [21:16] kifkif: good point. forgot about that. I believe there are utilities that help you saving/restoring partition info on "RescueCD" a bootable linux distro for system maintainance/repair/backup [21:16] sftp [21:17] blz: you want to control the pc? with the shell= ssh, with desktop = vnc [21:17] I should also mention that this is for my mom, who's not an advanced user, so ideally it would be done through something nautilus-ish [21:17] Wolter, woah! someone actually checked the people who maintain the software instead of the channel themed on an operating system! [21:17] iceroot: i'm concerned about the performance of a VNC on a netbook... I had vaguely considered that [21:17] hi all [21:17] Nitrodist, what do you mean? [21:18] can your mom use an FTP client ? [21:18] Actually, let me be a bit more precise with what I had in mind and you guys can let me know if this is feasible [21:18] kifkif: www.sysresccd.org [21:18] anyone know if ubuntu has support for the Ralink 2571 chipset for wireless ethernet? [21:18] I was thinking of doing it over sftp, but I don't want her to have access to the root directory -- just to her home folder [21:18] and the more it looks like nautilus the better [21:18] Wolter, people always ask about random compiling problems with random libraries or applications that sometimes have no bearing on a channel called "#ubuntu". [21:19] i installed ubuntu jaunty desktop, and i resized the ubuntu root and swap partitions, now grub says error 17. how can i fix this?

[21:42] dalfz: sudo blkid [21:42] surely someone must be having audio problems, too, no one here listens to music on ubuntu? [21:42] Hi. A couple of days ago I installed Windows 7, which naturally wiped out grub. I'm trying to reinstall grub using the doc on help.ubuntu.com RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows, but I get the error when running grub-install that it "Cannot open `/boot/grub/device.map`" [21:42] Does anyone know how I can fix this? [21:42] IdleOne: Sorry, I'm becoming dyslexic with nicks today [21:42] ActionParsnip, and i just paste those into menu.lst? [21:42] Jordan_U: no problem :) [21:42] RebelZero i have done this how i update cmake now? [21:42] Otacon22: AFAIK no [21:43] domino14: ive never had audio problems with ubuntu. in the beginning though, when i was completely new, i had to go and turn up the volume on all speakers in the volume control menu [21:43] Wast3d2009: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [21:43] domino14: how new are you to ubuntu? [21:43] reinstalling grup would detect all OS on system and configure it [21:43] hi guys, anybody got their jaunty hanged up because set a .mp4 H264 AAC fullscreen? [21:43] ive been using ubuntu since 2006, the only problem i'm having is that music skips every few minutes, using rhythmbox or VLC [21:43] dalfz: no, you need to check the one in fstab and compare [21:43] Wast3d2009: if cmake is already installed, it will upgrade it. If not, just install cmake like you normally would and it should pull down the 2.6 files [21:44] Jordan_U, What should i do? use a TCP-UDP tunnel ? :O [21:44] Rebel thanks it worked :) [21:44] Otacon22: You can run UDP through the tunnel though, and it will probably help a lot since tcp over tcp can cause problems [21:44] dalfz: and mabe menu.lst too [21:44] domino14: try using a different app? like amarok? [21:44] Wast3d2009: wtg :D [21:44] onaogh: How do I reinstall grub though, without using grub-install. It seems like it's looking in the wrong directory for device.map - /boot/grub instead of /media/root/boot/grub/ [21:44] ActionParsnip, aye trying [21:44] Wast3d2009: excellent, glad I could help [21:46] the skipping problem seems to get worse when im doing stuff, like i just opened up synaptic to search for amarok and it skipped a couple of times.. this is a good fast computer [21:46] ActionParsnip, those are unchanged, both in fstab and menu.lst .. what's wrong then? :/ [21:46] how can i block all program from the internet except exceptions i will make like in windows firewalls? [21:46] mdkess: You can either create a directory named /boot/grub or run grub install from a chroot [21:46] how do I use grep properly? [21:46] how can i block all programs from the internet except exceptions that i will make like in windows firewalls? [21:46] domino14: i have no idea what could be wrong with it, so you'l have to ask someone else [21:46] hm [21:46] ChrizC: What are you trying to do? [21:46] !grub | dalfz [21:46] dalfz: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows?

I've been told to "grep your configuration files for RedirectMatch ^/$" and by configuration files, he's talking about Apache configuration files... [21:47] mdkess, http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Reinstalling_GRUB [21:47] mdkess, just query google for reinstall grub, or restore grub [21:48] ChrizC: grep -nHR RedirectMatch /etc/apache2 [21:48] ActionParsnip, thanks checking that [21:48] trism: if I get no response, that means there was no matches, correct? [21:49] ChrizC: yes [21:49] wow, amarok looks awesome, if it skips though it sucks [21:49] hot damn, thanks trism. [21:49] ChrizC: I am not sure what whoever told you that meant by the "^/$" at the end because it doesn't make sense as part of a regular expression [21:49] Jordan_U: no idea. his mind moves in mysterious ways [21:51] ChrizC: What are you trying to do?

I'm fiddling with the rename command and I can't seem to get it.

[22:17] hi [22:17] domino14: i had troubles with pulseaudio too plus a lot of guys i know, i just aptitude removes the packages of it [22:18] yea i know is there away to burn them not in .ISO [22:18] hey guys how to play.swf files [22:19] still no audio from amarok.. i set sound preferences to alsa for everything [22:19] the emoviex in k3b isnt found so would that be the problem or something else [22:19] my dbus has gone wild. i'm getting hundreds of messages a second and they are almost the same: http://pastebin.com/m7e50578a does anyone know what's going on? i'm on jaunty.

Ubuntu-desktop is a meta package. It's ok if it gets removed [22:24] how do I make a symbolic link stay in a directory that is not created until I make it? === ian__ is now known as I2v8an [22:24] I needed to make a symlink /dev/dri/card0 point towards /dev/card0 [22:24] ok, im about to remobe ubuntu-desktop [22:26] domino14, be aware that sometimes it will be added back if needed...

[22:27] thanks lstarnes -r instead of -v ? [22:27] dehqan: both [22:27] really need help with sound [22:27] dehqan: -r and -v are separate options [22:27] dehqan: if you need verbose output, keep -v [22:27] dehqan: -r is used for recursive copying [22:28] dehqan: Please don't keep leaving after asking your questions, some questions take time to answer [22:29] hi, this space is for spanish speakers or english speakers?

[22:32] thanks lstarnes and but Jordan_U that command copy /media/disk/all in /media/disk2/all [22:32] How do I keep firefox from maxing out my cpu (netbook) [22:33] any clues? [22:33] wdh: Ligt natuurlijk NOOIT aan Ubuntu, maar aan Internet ;) [22:33] but there is need to a command that just copy files from /media/disk/all that have not been copied to /media/disk2/all [22:33] but there is need to a command that just copy files from /media/disk/all that have not been copied to /media/disk2/all Jordan_U [22:33] When is the next LTS coming out? === BeardedAdmin is now known as BeardedAdmin_Awa === BeardedAdmin_Awa is now known as BeardedAdmin [22:34] !10.04 | elijah [22:34] elijah: Lucid Lynx is the codename for Ubuntu 10.04, due April 2010 - See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l02bhwofEqw for announcement video.

[22:35] but there is need to a command that just copy files from /media/disk/all that have not been copied to /media/disk2/all lstarnes [22:36] <_xoff_> no i just want a client ip address [22:36] hello all, am using ubuntu-server 9.04 and needs to know if my server reached its maximum open sockets and it's queuing new requests ? [22:36] <_xoff_> the router already runs as dhcp server [22:36] hello to all [22:36] dehqan: use cp -u to only copy newer or not yet existing files [22:36] is there any way to back up xchat setting? do I just copy ~/.xchat to another location? [22:36] dehqan: I think rsync may do what you're asking for [22:36] _xoff_, bydefault just plug cable or connect wireless and get DHCP address, if you can't get, in console write dhclient eth0 or whatever interface is [22:36] i need some help i have a dell xps m1530 and have ubuntu 9.04 installed....i can not get the wireless to work [22:36] can anyone help ? [22:37] tisha: not my area, but [22:37] !wireless | tisha [22:37] tisha: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [22:37] sebsebseb: thanks [22:37] <_xoff_> onaogh: that works, but i want to get rid off the error at boot [22:37] tisha: np good luck [22:37] salve a tutti, sono qui per la prima volta.

Grazie! (click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) [22:38] There'is a italian canal? [22:38] ops [22:38] thanks! [22:38] _xoff_: look in /etc/default/dhcpcd [22:38] <_xoff_> onaogh: how can i show what boot said, without a reboot? [22:38] einstein1969, welcome :) [22:38] einstein1969: still welcome here, but speak english please [22:38] no lstarnes rsync copyies /media/disk/all in /media/disk-2/all [22:39] /var/log [22:39] _xoff_, /var/log keeps everything [22:39] hi everyone. which FTP client application do you recommend I install in my system? I am using Ubuntu 9.04. [22:39] dehqan: are there already files in /media/disk-2? [22:40] ~# cp -u /root/Desktop/e /root/Desktop/b [22:40] cp: omitting directory `/root/Desktop/e' [22:40] VCoolio_ [22:40] dehqan: cp and rsync are separate [22:40] dehqan: they are NOT the same thing [22:40] no in /media/disk/all [22:40] <_xoff_> which of the logs contains the boot messages? [22:40] <_xoff_> puuh [22:41] _xoff_: check dmesg [22:41] Is there a way of limiting cpu usage for a program [22:41] Where is the 'any' key? [22:41] /media/disk/all is complete and /media/disk-2/all is not comlete lstarnes [22:42] dehqan: now you're copying a folder which would need -r; to copy all files in a folder use .../folder/* .../destination === adam is now known as Guest72484 [22:42] dmesg will list the kernel messages, not the messages from the boot scripts [22:42] i speak a very little english, but I will do everything to force myself. you are very nice! === Guest72484 is now known as adam19 [22:43] <_xoff_> so where do i find the boot msg? : / [22:43] So, scaling_max_freq is set to 800000... Why is Ubuntu making my 2.5 ghz CPU run at 800 mhz? [22:43] thanks [22:43] to save battery [22:43] _xoff_: as far as I know, they aren't logged, but if someone knows that they are and where I'd be interested in hearing it [22:43] onaogh: I'm plugged in. [22:44] you can add the thing to change that on the top panel [22:44] is there a way to see what's making requests to X? my X's usage abnormally high. [22:44] SanityInAnarchy: try sudo cpufeq-set -m MAX [22:44] SanityInAnarchy: replace MAX with the desired maximum frequency === harjot_ is now known as harjot [22:45] SanityInAnarchy: oops. it's -u not -m [22:45] trism, /var/log/dmesg and /var/log/daemon.log [22:45] lstarnes: Odd, cpufrequtils isn't installed. Stranger still, it just reset itself to the max while we're talking. [22:45] <_xoff_> okay i rebooted... it says: Starting DHCP server: dhcpd3* check syslog for diagnostics. failed! [22:45] So it'll be fine for awhile now, but it's been doing this on and off all day. [22:45] DHCP server ? [22:46] hello [22:46] what's the best n64- (or if possible, everything-) emulator for linux? [22:46] There it goes again. How do I check which program JUST SET my cpu back to 800 mhz? [22:46] <_xoff_> yes server [22:46] anybody here using the ubuntu xfce package? [22:46] SanityInAnarchy: it's usually cpufreq changing the cpu frequency [22:46] _xoff_: I found it, it is not enabled by default on debian-like systems, but you can enable it in /etc/default/bootlogd [22:46] <_xoff_> i also wondered.... i want to turn it off... but i dont know where [22:46] _xoff_, you want to serve dhcp requests ? [22:46] lstarnes: Maybe Kubuntu uses something else? [22:46] SanityInAnarchy: for me, it changes based on processing demand [22:46] _xoff_: it will log to /var/log/boot [22:46] <_xoff_> ls [22:47] <_xoff_> whoopsie [22:47] lstarnes: Nope. This is scaling_max_freq. scaling_cur_freq should change based on demand. scaling_max_freq should stay at max, unless there's a really good reason. [22:47] Hi! I am trying to configure a "virtual screen size"... I'm running a netbook and the screen is too small to view some applications, and I want to be able to pan to the sides and use the screen as a window to a larger screen. I have been trying some settings in xorg.conf, following the manual, but I can't get it to work. Any ideas? Thanks [22:47] To back up xchat settings, I just have to copy ~/.xchat to another location correct? [22:47] <_xoff_> var/log/boot is empty [22:47] robbmunson: I think it might be ~/.xchat2/ [22:48] _xoff_: you need to enable it first in /etc/default/bootlogd === NorwayGeek is now known as NorwayGeek|Away [22:48] _xoff_, what that woopsie was for ? [22:48] lstarnes, but I have the general idea correct? [22:48] _xoff_: then it will likely log on next boot [22:48] <_xoff_> k [22:48] robbmunson: yes [22:48] <_xoff_> whoopsie for "ls" [22:48] lstarnes: Oh, and there should be some demand now. Compiling webkit will do that -- it's pegged at 100%, and SHOULD scale, but doesn't, because scaling_max_freq has just been set back to 800 mhz. [22:48] lstarnes, thanks friend, always helpful :) [22:48] _xoff_: sorry, this is wrong, apparently since fiesty, ubuntu won't do this [22:49] SanityInAnarchy: you may need to use cpufreq-set to set the maximum frequency and use cpufreq-selector to set the governor to ondemand [22:49] lstarnes, what do you work ? [22:49] can an upgrade to jaunty be undone? it's too buggy. [22:49] thanks lstarnes cp -ur /root/Desktop/e /root/Desktop/b this is ok [22:49] thanks everyone here helps others bye [22:49] !downgrade | mun [22:49] mun: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system. [22:49] dehqan: you should not use root as your user account [22:50] <_xoff_> thank you trism [22:50] lstarnes: it just reset to max again -- however, scaling_governer is and has been ondemand, throughout. [22:50] <_xoff_> so, where do i stop the dhcp server deamon? [22:50] right [22:50] >.> [22:50] thanks lstarnes yes u are right ok [22:50] uninstall it [22:50] anybody here use the xfce package? anyone at all? [22:50] i dont [22:50] <_xoff_> any other way? [22:51] <_xoff_> ls [22:51] <_xoff_> crap :-) [22:51] stop it and remove it from startup [22:51] dehqan: Are there any files that only partially copied? [22:51] <_xoff_> where's the "startup" file? [22:51] mun: you can download the ISO for an older Ubuntu and put that on though [22:51] _xoff_: there is likely a script for it in /etc/init.d [22:51] <_xoff_> there's no inittab [22:51] Yep. It's back to 800 mhz. It has nothing to do with the scaling_governor. Again, it's the _max_ freq that's being restricted, and the governer, as I understand it, changes the _cur_ freq. [22:51] rc.d in /etc/ i guess [22:51] my dbus has gone wild and has about 150 dbus lines per second. i'm on jaunty. does anyone know what's going on? http://pastebin.com/m16072897 [22:52] i am on windows now [22:52] is there anyone here who can help me troubleshoot my wireless connection? [22:52] sebsebseb: you mean, overinstall my current installation? [22:52] i installed the xfce package before and it totally FUCKED my computer [22:52] styx993: watch your language [22:52] the number of files in both folder now is the same 19869 jordan_u [22:52] sorry [22:52] styx993: in what way are things messed up? [22:52] dehqan: Are the sizes the same [22:52] they arent anymore [22:52] yes [22:52] i had to reinstall ubuntu [22:52] i have a dual boot problem... my jaunty is still on the hard drive but it aint booting? [22:52] mun: get hold of your data put it some where, and then get rid of your current install, and put on the older one, if you want. Or jus wait untill 9.10 that's released October 29th and may work better for you. [22:52] both 16.5 gb [22:52] i couldn't use apt at all [22:53] because it installed its own version of glib [22:53] <_xoff_> ppuuh... what rc?.d? [22:53] And of course, it is actually pegged at 100% of that 800 mhz. I haven't done anything that should change either the governor or the max freq. [22:53] hi [22:53] hello [22:53] styx993: were you using the official xfce packages from ubuntu's official repos? [22:53] yes [22:53] i need some help so i can boot back into jaunty .... please [22:53] "sudo apt-get install xfce4" [22:53] It seems my laptop just likes to randomly go back ten years in performance every now and then. [22:53] for some reason my wireless adapter refuses to stay connected to the network [22:53] any thing else jordan_u [22:54] i'm not sure about it anymore, because it was awhile ago [22:54] lstranes said it is in /etc/init.d/ [22:54] but i would like to install it again [22:54] but i'm not sure if it'll do the same thing [22:54] sebsebseb: ok thanks [22:54] thanks bye [22:54] _xoff_, why you just uninstall it [22:54] i think the grub is stuffed [22:54] not* [22:54] <_xoff_> i don't want to uninstall it... :-) [22:55] hi [22:55] Question: Is there any to make it so flash DOESNT slow down when in full screen? [22:55] grub loading error 17 [22:55] :/ [22:55] _xoff_: its script may be /etc/init.d/dhcp3-server [22:55] darkedge: no [22:55] :) [22:55] it has to scale [22:55] i need help to configure X11/gnome on my Ubuntu 8.04 server [22:55] and scaling is slow [22:55] _xoff_: try sudo invoke-rc.d dhcp3-server stop [22:55] _xoff_, sudo nano that file [22:55] <_xoff_> aargl... there's no init.d in my etc directory [22:56] :/ That sucks, [22:56] *sighs* [22:56] Will Jaunty run on something with 768 MB of RAM, or do I need an earlier version? [22:56] there is [22:56] yes [22:56] Anyone? Why would my CPU limit itself to 800 mhz for minutes at a time, while plugged in, and while I'm building Webkit? [22:56] can anyone help me x to run again plsget my linu [22:56] my power flickered and my system rebooted, now eth0 is 'device not found' yet it shows up in lspci.. is there any hope for it? [22:56] _xoff_: are you sure that you are using ubuntu? [22:56] Blackbird2: it will run on that [22:56] Blackbird2: i'm running it on a p3 with 256mb ram, it'll run [22:56] <_xoff_> i use backtrack... it's based on ubuntu [22:56] Blackbird2: easyily [22:56] Will it run at a fast and a- [22:56] Okay, I get it. [22:57] i don't recommend kde with it, but gnome runs decently on mine [22:57] Second question. Is there a fairly good equivalent to Alcohol 120% on Ubuntu?

[22:58] Is Gnash better then normal Flash? [22:58] darkedge: no [22:58] and the moment of truth approaches [22:58] how do i get my grub sorted? [22:58] darkedge: gnash is an open source implementation, but it is far from complete [22:58] debbie1: what's wrong? [22:58] ubottu, what are you ? [22:58] I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [22:59] how can I tell what video card driver is currently being used?

[23:07] keeping NTFS though, too much of a hassle to back all that up [23:07] but i have reversed that [23:07] <_xoff_> i still don't understand the process after grub... where's the script/file that shows what will be loaded at startup? [23:07] nicky/Jean [23:08] dothan, yep [23:08] khoda sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx [23:08] I just need to get this wireless card hashed out, and then i'll be set [23:08] dothan, ok i'll do that in a sec. any idea on how to find out what i'm currently using? [23:09] khoda: yeah by doing that command :P [23:09] Hello, I have a built in USB webcam, that seems to only work ocasionally, is there a way I could disconnect it from the kernel and reconnect it like I was physically doing that? [23:09] khoda: then fglrxinfo [23:09] i then booted with partition table doctor and it found a fault - auto sorted it - and now windows only boots... no grub menu [23:09] dothan, that command will install new drivers. before i do that, i'm just trying to see what i'm currently using [23:10] khoda: it wont install new drivers [23:10] it's funny, because (go figure) vista has no issues connecting to the network and staying on it, but jaunty just disconnects right after it connects [23:10] dothan, what does that command do? [23:10] <_xoff_> i still don't understand the process after grub... where's the script/file that shows what will be loaded at startup? any links? I searched like mad on google...

[23:21] Hi everybody! I need help with downloading this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WgBdwD5IV90. I tried youtube-dl from the CLI and I tried the downloadhelper extension in FF. Neither could fetch this video. Ditto for online YouTube downloaders. Any pointers? Thanks! [23:21] MindSpark: tools for netbooks [23:21] use savetube [23:21] n convert the vid. [23:21] <_xoff_> i still don't understand the process after grub... where's the script/file that shows what will be loaded at startup? any links? I searched like mad on google... [23:21] gNewPower, flashgot plugin for firefox [23:21] Darkedge, is that an ubuntu ap? [23:21] RegressLess, ok, thanks, I'll check it ouy [23:21] out [23:22] What's a good FLV Converter [23:22] Website... [23:22] joeb3_, ok. I will try [23:22] thanks Darkedge [23:22] will try that too [23:22] I have a urgend problem with the kernel... my systems crashs very often... with the error message: "Fixing recursive fault but reboot is needed"... but i don't find more information about the reason and how to solve the problem [23:23] a true Linux user, sticks to the command line as much as possible... [23:23] Darkedge: that's opinion [23:23] Darkedge: and depends on distro [23:23] so why aren't you in the gentoo channel ;-) [23:24] Sourcemaker: So, When you restart what happens? [23:24] Darkedge: Many Ubuntu users don't use the terminal much [23:24] <_xoff_> yes... can anyone tell me please the boot sequence or post a link? [23:24] Sourcemaker: What do you think caused the problem?, Did you install something and this all came up? [23:25] Linux is tradisinly command line... [23:25] xD [23:25] peleg: Which graphics driver are you using? [23:25] Guys, What's a good FLV Conveter? [23:25] hello, anyone can introduce a nice looking application for monitoring network bandwidth activity in ubuntu ? [23:25] Emerald [23:25] Darkedge: mencoder or mplayer I'd imagine [23:26] It can sit on your desktop! [23:26] j [23:26] k* [23:26] Darkedge, avidemux can probably do it as well.. === trina_ is now known as KittyKis [23:26] Isn't mplayer a player, not a converter? [23:26] mplayer can also convert :) [23:27] Darkedge: mplayer can be used to play videos too, yes [23:27] from cli [23:27] SaEeDIRHA: I just use the system monitor applet, doesn't take up much space but is a decent visual guide [23:27] Is there a way to control cpu usage? [23:27] trism: i cannot find it in latest ubuntu ! i used to use it in previous versions [23:27] k, thanks for the help [23:27] _xoff_: the /etc/init.d/rc* script will run stuff in /etc/rc*.d/ [23:27] RegressLess, yes right click on your panel, click add to panel, then select cpu frequency applet. that's an easy way i suppose [23:28] SaEeDIRHA: right click the panel, Add to Panel, scroll down to System Monitor [23:28] _xoff_: install sysv-rc-conf to see what is when loaded and to configure; check http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=89491 [23:28] SaEeDIRHA: you'll need to go to the properties and configure it to show network instead of cpu [23:28] oh, ok [23:28] <_xoff_> great [23:29] but there isnt any application like "Network Monitor Applet" ? [23:29] I'm gonna show my bro. THIS: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lawkc3jH3ws To try and get him to move to ubuntu... [23:29] Darkedge: nothing... Sometimes the systems runs 4 hours and longer until [23:29] the panic happens. On the other hand the systems crashs [23:29] short time later after reboot. [23:29] _xoff_: that is what happens until login screen shows up [23:29] hej [23:29] :/ [23:29] Darkedge: I don't konw the reason... [23:30] SaEeDIRHA: there is a Network Monitor applet listed a few lines up from the System Monitor, I don't really use it though [23:30] So, Sourcemaker, This all just HAPPENED? You didn't install anything recently...? [23:30] Darkedge: right... I did't install any new software or kernel modules [23:30] Darkedge: I have tested both kernel versions.. realtime and generic... it happends on both [23:31] :/ [23:31] Ask on the forums, [23:31] trism: i dont have it :( [23:31] Darkedge: And I also can't repdoruce the error... it stills happens without any warnings... [23:32] sourcemaker, Darkedge, I came to this conversation late but could this be some sort of hardware issue? [23:32] i want something similar gkrellm [23:33] scott_ino2: well... It could be... but i dont know which hardware can it be... [23:33] im just wondering since it seem so odd [23:33] joeb3_, flashgot cannot catch this one either [23:33] sourcemaker, just a suggestion, but have you run a check on your disk? [23:34] sourcemaker, have you plugged in any new devices? [23:34] scott_ino2: well... the default system check which is automatically performed... [23:34] recently [23:34] :/ Maybe [23:34] scott_ino2: no.. there are no new devices plugged... [23:34] hmm.. im at a loss that is a very odd issue.. [23:34] hey can anyone take a look at this and give me a suggestion as to what i can try to fix my wifi connection? here's the messages I keep getting: [23:34] Trying to associate with 00:14:d1:c3:af:34 (SSID='BadgerOps' freq=2452 MHz) [23:34] Association request to the driver failed [23:34] Associated with 00:14:d1:c3:af:34 [23:34] WPA: Key negotiation completed with 00:14:d1:c3:af:34 [PTK=CCMP GTK=CCMP] [23:35] CTRL-EVENT-CONNECTED - Connection to 00:14:d1:c3:af:34 completed (reauth) [id=0 id_str=] [23:35] Chaos015901: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[23:36] i'm on a laptop presario cq40-324la, i have hardy heron on, and my problem is the following, the integrated laptop mic perhaps or something else, makes a clicking, snow-like sound when i talk which is counterproductive to skype talking, is there any way i can alleviate this or should i just go off and buy a mic? [23:36] hello. I'm trying to rebuild my grub menu.list using the liveCD. Can I run sudo update-grub when booted from the liveCD? [23:36] sourcemaker, have you found anything via google? [23:36] scott_ino2: no :-) [23:37] so your system used to be fine until recently correct [23:37] progressivpirate: You can if you chroot first [23:37] scott_ino2: I will try the system check now... fsck.. [23:37] chroom /dev/sda [23:37] ? [23:37] see you later.. and thanks for providing support [23:37] chroot rather [23:38] sourcemaker, yeah i would start there... then maybe install another ubuntu on a seperate partition next to your old oen and see if it still happens [23:39] how do I check which (hd) ubuntu is installed on when I want to re install grub? [23:40] ok, how do I enable WPA wireless on 0.04? [23:40] *9.04 [23:41] k [23:41] :/ [23:41] brb [23:42] I can see the network and, I can try to access it but, not able to do certain things like put in the pass and the dropdown box is greyed out so I cannot select anything.. === c is now known as Guest18651 [23:42] any help how to enable it is appreciated [23:43] Anybody know why hitting the up arrow key causes a screen shot to be taken in ubuntu? [23:44] wongon1, check your keyboard shortcuts [23:44] wongon, you have it set that way and someone is playing a practical joke on you [23:44] I am having trouble with printing...I have a ppd installed that has all the stapling, etc. How do I do the n-up stuff. I usually need to print 2-up or 4-up. I am printing from firefox or openoffice. [23:45] I have problem using curl and web pages containing Swedish characters in text. The typical Swedish characters get replaced by some supicious characters. Why? [23:45] hey all [23:45] can I just add n-up to a command line somewhere or change the .ppd to add nup/ [23:45] ? [23:45] wongon1 may be mapped to that key for some reason.. would be in the prefs area. [23:45] bin1010, you should be able to do these things via page setup menu [23:46] from the application you're printing from === c is now known as Guest39299 [23:46] ah...ok, I'll check === mac9416_ is now known as mac9416 [23:46] anyone?

[23:49] @ZenoArrow: it won't maintain a connection to the network. I know the network is good because when I boot to Vista I have no issues connecting and using it [23:49] question [23:49] !WPA [23:49] Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [23:50] how do i know which graphic driver i have to install [23:50] depe, if you have ati, install ati, if you have nvidia, install nvidia [23:50] Chaos015901, does it work more reliably when you disable WPA2? [23:50] progressivpirate: most likely this will work "sudo umount /dev/sda1 && sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt && sudo mount -o bind /dev /mnt/dev && sudo mount -o bind /proc/mnt/proc && sudo mount -o bind /sys /mnt/sys && sudo chroot /mnt" [23:50] depe you need to know which graphics card you have.. [23:50] however.. [23:50] if your using the latest ditro, it should be no problemmm [23:51] unless your using an older video card.. [23:51] can someone help me through [23:51] depe: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Jaunty#Install_nVidia.2FATI_drivers [23:51] depe: in terminal type lspci | grep video it should list the name/model of your card [23:52] I haven't tried that yet. I have the network configured for primarily windows users, and trying to reconfigure it results in about 50 people asking me to fix their laptops [23:52] idleone: thx [23:52] @Chaos015901, do you work in the IT department of a company? [23:53] Chaos015901, which wifi card ? [23:53] will I be able to use a Linksys Compact Wireless-G USB Adapter in Jaunty? [23:54] seyDoggy: do you have a live cd? [23:54] anyone??
