[00:00] i just find it odd that GRUB loads off that drive [00:00] think so [00:00] Thunderbird starts but closes after a second. Firefox shows lhorozontal lines where it should show text formost web pages (i.e. google) and so do .pdf files. [00:00] if I disable SMART in the BIOS then GRUB can't load.. it's only when SMART detect the error and I continue booting [00:00] I had followed soem diurections that were as follows. [00:01] Anybody know why the Win32 Disk Imager suggested by the ubuntu website isn't locating my 2 gb external partition? I ask here because it's a UNR related issue - I apologize if this isn't the place to do so [00:01] mk a directory for my fonts in /usr/share/fonts [00:01] sorry for asking - but which version shall i install (nvidia) [00:01] jrebeiro, grub isnt installed on the mbr then [00:01] soreau, yes, I can see my network thorugh iwconfig [00:01] saturnin1: and what makes you think that it's due to a font issue? i'm not following you... did you overwrite any files? [00:01] jrebeiro, maybe you have it on one of the partitions instead [00:01] or did you just make the directory? [00:01] depe: Probably the latest available version ubuntu offers [00:02] also for VERY old cards?? [00:02] CaBlGuY: What is your wifi chipset listed as by lspci? [00:02] supersaiyan_IV: hrmm... maybe... then it may be possible to get ubuntu to see the device? [00:02] just a second... I need to look up what I did. The problem started immidately after I makde the change as it is a problem displaying text I have to assume that fromt he timing and the nature of the problem it is the cause. [00:02] brb === prince_j1mmys is now known as prince_jammys [00:02] any ideas on what I should try so I can dd the data off to the new drive? [00:02] saturnin1: it would makes sense, but yeah. hook us up with more details. Also, start thunderbird and firefox from the command line and pastebin any errors [00:03] jrebeiro, its the other way around, smart may be needed to probe the partitions [00:03] I'm using the mod_dav_svn apache2 module, and it contains a sample svnindex.css file in /var/www/apache2-default. Where do I have to copy the file in order to use it? The svn module doesn't let me set a physical directory, except for the repository. [00:03] !unr [00:03] 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 [00:03] jrebeiro, when its disabled grub isnt detected because its on a partition [00:03] !win32diskimager [00:03] Sorry, I don't know anything about win32diskimager === op6_in_the_dark is now known as op6 [00:03] Supersaiyan_IV: that makes sense [00:04] Supersaiyan_IV: any ideas on getting the data to the new disk if an ubuntu livecd doesn't see the device? [00:04] reverse steg? [00:04] Is anyone here familiar with CIFS? It's not a complicated question that I have, but I am getting some issues with a mounted CIFS share hosted on a server with a CIFS server. [00:04] Hi. How do I run Ubuntu Server's partitioning UI (the one used to setup lvm, raid, encrypted volumes, etc) after installation? [00:05] teolicy, type: gksu gparted [00:05] teolicy: you mean gparted? [00:06] soreau, it says it sees a Atheroes wirelss adaptor... but, I can see the Cisco aircard fine and I can see the network fine and I can even attempt to access it fine.. === prince_j1mmys is now known as prince_jammys [00:06] Anyone here know a thing or two about CIFS? [00:06] I have to log out and in again... bbl [00:07] jrebeiro, tried sudo fdisk -l ? [00:07] hola a todos, soy nuevo aqui [00:07] Supersaiyan_IV: I think i did.. I'm gonna try it again now with the new drive in there and SMART re-enabled [00:07] lo [00:07] hi [00:07] !es [00:08] En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [00:08] torn, jrebeiro: I'm talking about the console utility, not a Gnome app. [00:08] teolicy, it could be parted or fdisk [00:08] how do i file a bug about the display resolution changer [00:08] teolicy: you said GUI... anyway.. use parted or fdisk [00:09] sagaci: Are you sure it' [00:09] torn: you beat me to it :) [00:09] tg [00:09] ok thank! [00:09] parted magic works wonders and works str8 form Ram.. [00:09] ;) [00:09] sagaci: ... sure it's a bug in the application and not in X? [00:09] teolicy: or are you talking about the gui in the installer for setting up LVM during install [00:09] does anybody happen to know if windows has an equivalent to the unix dd command? [00:09] CaBlGuY: Well tbh idk why it wouldn't let you do wpa.. maybe your driver doesn't support it.. what does 'lsmod|grep ath' say? [00:09] #list [00:10] blz: yea.. symantec ghost ;) [00:10] blz: Try ##windows [00:10] aah good call [00:10] and jrebeiro: dd != dd_rescue [00:10] jrebeiro: The console based GUI (I think it's dialog based) which lets you setup partitions, lvm, encryption, etc, during install. [00:10] blz: hrmm... never used dd_rescue.. I'll check it out [00:11] jrebeiro: yeah that's more like symantec ghost [00:11] Jordan_U: when i switich from different screen resolutions, the confirmation dialog box comes up behind the display settings box [00:11] dd is just direct dataset manipulation [00:11] blz: on older windows disks you can us a bootable linux distro to image them with dd. Some of the newer formats (newer than ntfs xp) may have meta infomrtion that is more complex to copy [00:12] soreau, that gives me somehting to the effect of ath5k, mac20811, etc etc .. [00:12] mb_again_: oh, what i'm actually trying to do is copy a UNR image file so that i can install it on a netbook [00:12] it's in .img format [00:13] and the win32driveimager isn't working properly [00:13] sagaci: "ubuntu-bug [00:13] sagaci: "ubuntu-bug gnome-control-center" [00:13] CaBlGuY: Ok, so you're using the ath5k driver. You could try connecting manually but that can be a complicated and/or tricky procedure depending on your experience level [00:13] !unr [00:13] 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 [00:13] soreau, this is the same issue I was having with Mint and I did a wipe and install since then and now, I'm having to deal with it again... [00:14] CaBlGuY: Hmm.. Well I'd start by asking in #madwifi-ng and ##networking [00:14] blz, do you have access to a Linux machine? [00:14] Also, how far in advance is the next version's (10.4) featureset determined? Specifically, any roadmap regarding btrfs support in Ubuntu? [00:14] torn: i suppose i could always boot to a livecd and use dd... [00:14] teolicy: the version number is a date [00:15] soreau, it's not an issue of not being able to see the network, or accessing the options, or prefs, or anything like that.. the only thing I can;t do is select the WAP for the type of network it is and of course, enter the pass.. [00:15] teolicy: 20(10) 4th month (April) [00:15] blz, I'm not trying to change your mind, but I would recommend Ubuntu over UNR. [00:15] well it's for a netbook [00:15] hi, I'm having graphics corruption on shutdown, and i was wondering how to go about figuring out why [00:15] or is regular ubuntu still better for that? [00:15] teolicy: so I'd say about 4 months previous to that [00:15] Ubuntu has a nebook distro.. [00:15] ive browsed logs and there doesnt seem to be anything obvious there [00:16] ahaha [00:16] UNR gave me a few issues with it's "netbook-launcher" desktop, so I switched back to classic mode. Plus, UNR does not play nice with other desktop environments, such as Xfce. [00:16] CaBlGuY: Is your interface named wlan0 per iwconfig? [00:16] teolicy: you can see the release schedule (if one even exists, Karmic isnt even released yet) [00:16] torn: ooh, that's good to know [00:16] blz, I would stick with regular Ubuntu. [00:16] i'll try it out, but i might end up switching to plain-old ubuntu [00:16] thanks for the tip though [00:16] blz, if you change your mind, you can just download the "ubuntu-netbook-remix" meta package, which will install the "netbook" goodies. [00:16] Jordan_U: ty Jordan [00:17] No problem. [00:17] teolicy: unofficial afaik: http://techie-buzz.com/ubuntu/release-schedule-for-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx-roadmap.html [00:17] soreau, I wave wlan0 and wifi0 [00:17] CaBlGuY: Can you see your network in the output of 'iwlist wlan0 scan|grep -i essid'? [00:17] Can you move the bar at the bottom of the screen (with the Show Desktop icon, programs running, the Desk 1 and Desk 2 stuff) to the top of the screen? [00:17] blz, keep in mind you can still use the modified kernel for netbooks running Ubuntu, even on regular non-UNR Ubuntu from: http://www.array.org [00:17] hi [00:17] hi [00:18] torn: oh good to know. i was mainly concerned about the performance issues [00:18] blz, my bad, it's: http://www.array.org/ubuntu [00:18] My update progress stopped. Now it wont work with apt-get... what can I do? [00:18] I'm not asking /when/ will a release be released, I know 10.4 and 10.10 are dates. I'm asking how much in advance is a version's planned /featureset/ is declared. And specifically, if anyone announced a plan to include support for btrfs in 10.4 or 10.10. [00:18] blz, it's funny because even Ubuntu performing at its slowest on a netbook, I found out that this is faster than even Windows XP. [00:18] hi [00:18] torn: so it's just a matter of adding the repo and installing the kernel? [00:18] (sorry if my last line sounded argumentative, that wasn't the purpose, I was just trying to clarify) [00:18] Matisse: whats the output of: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade [00:18] how to control different session of firefox by remote command line please ? [00:18] torn: and this is with an ordinary kernel? [00:19] could anyone help me with my sound on 9.04? [00:19] c4g: did you check to see if your sound card was supported? [00:19] ActionParsnip, try apt-get -f install [00:19] blz, plus, at least with Linux it's more consistent from day 1 to day 999. With Windows, you can start out blazingly fast on day 1, but then it can be unusable by day 90.

[00:19] yeah, intell8x0 [00:19] Matisse: that too [00:19] blz, no, this is using the modified kernel from array.org/ubuntu [00:19] ActionParsnip, ok, more precise :) [00:19] true. i'm not a huge windows fan... [00:19] soreau, says interface doesn't support scanning.. [00:20] My terminal doesn't seem to handle Swedish characters in a correct manner. Why isnät Swedish characters showing up correctly using curl or php preg_match? [00:20] blz, the modified kernel is designed to run better on Atom processors (netbooks) and have fewer interrupts, to allow more power-saving functions. [00:20] ActionParsnip, update works fine [00:20] right right, that's the only thing i really want [00:21] blz, after switching to the netbook-kernel from array.org/ubuntu, and then using Boot-Up Manager (bum) and disabling uneeded services, I can boot up in about 20 seconds, on my netbook. This, to me, is very nice. [00:21] and the interface seems kind of cute [00:21] CaBlGuY: Bingo [00:21] yeah that's really nice... better than xp [00:21] Matisse: ok so whats the issue ? [00:21] Evelina: If you speak swedish #ubuntu-se might be more likely to know the answer [00:21] ActionParsnip, update works fine; upgrade: kdebase-runtime (>= 4:4.2.4) required, but 4:4.2.2-0ubuntu1 is installed [00:21] CaBlGuY: Your drivers aren't working correctly. Now what is the entire output string from lspci for you card [00:22] torn: so you install regular ubuntu, and then add the array.org repo and then install the UNR kernel? [00:22] okay this is bizarre... the drive attached to sata0 was throwing SMART errors... now that I removed the drive from sata1 and replaced it with a new drive that drive is no longer throwing errors and shows up in the bios.. I'm gonna confirm the GUID's in lvm to be sure I didn't accidentally swap the cables [00:22] blz, someone complained to me that using their netbook (Windows XP) they had Office, IE, and an IM program open at the same time. They said their netbook slowed to a grinding halt to the point where they couldn't even do anything since it was nearly unresponsive. [00:22] ActionParsnip, http://paste.ubuntu.com/279958/ <-- upgrade [00:22] I have no problems on 1 GB of RAM with Firefox, OpenOffice, and Pidgin open at the same time. [00:22] Evelina: try using 'uxterm' as your terminal. As far as the php thing, maybe it's a limitation of php's regular expressions (php manual for the latter), or you need to modify your locale. [00:23] torn: excellent [00:23] blz, that is correct. [00:23] alright, i might do that. i'll try UNR real quick and see how it does [00:23] Evelina: i'd check that your locale is set up properly. [00:23] but I'll probably end up doint what you suggested [00:23] blz, it will add an entry in your grub menu.lst config, to allow you to boot into the netbook-kernel. [00:23] torn: does it boot into the netbook-kernel by default? === Strife1989 is now known as Strife89 [00:23] ActionParsnip, apt-get remove kde-runtime doesnt work. apt-get install -f wont work either [00:24] prince_jammys: How do I check that the local is set up correctly? I use english version of Ubuntu. [00:24] Matisse: I'd ask in #kubuntu [00:24] back. [00:24] blz, I don't believe so, I forget. I made it the default, myself, I believe. You can just edit /boot/grub/menu.lst by typing: gksu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst [00:24] ActionParsnip, they dont answer :) [00:24] torn: I assume you cannot/should not run compiz on a netbook [00:24] torn: should be simple enough [00:24] blz, you just need to have the netboot-kernel entry before the others. [00:24] Matisse: what about: sudo apt-get --reinstall install kdebase-runtime [00:25] makes sense [00:25] yeah i could use the startupmanager package for that too [00:25] ActionParsnip, could be worth a try [00:25] blz, I definitely wouldn't. It's a very low-powered video interface, and it will kill your battery. [00:25] I tried installing fonts that I use at work and it broke firefox, thunderbird, and viewing .pdf files. Firefox and .pdf files show horizontal lines where there should be words and thunderbird starts for a second then closes (crashes?) [00:25] right. then i won't. [00:25] ActionParsnip, nope [00:25] From directions on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Fonts I did the following: [00:25] cd to /usr/share/fonts/truetype and made a directory. [00:25] then ran the command "sudo fc-cache -f -v" [00:25] Logged out and then in and... "BOOM," screwed! [00:25] saturnin1, have you tried uninstalling the fonts? i've never heard of a font actually breaking an application, except in the case of lack of font. [00:26] blz, before you committ yourself and load up crucial files on the netbook or get comfortable, play around with it, and see what you can disable/enable, etc. [00:26] soreau, what I got is this.. Atheros Communications inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wirelss PCI express adaptor (rev 01) But, I've got my Cisco airnet aricard in and Ubuntu sees it when I go to network prefs, or left click to select my wireless network.. [00:26] To try and undo the problem I removed the directory I had created and re-ran the command and re-logged-in. [00:26] ok it's def the right drive... but I get I/O errors when running vgdisplay, pvdisplay, etc. [00:26] CaBlGuY: So you have two different wifi cards plugged in? [00:26] Used synaptic to reinstall any anything that was already installed when I searched for "font." [00:26] at least it sees all the partitions tho [00:26] blz, I read about laptop-mode, bum (Boot-up Manager), and the netbook-kernel, and once I played around with them, I was happy and started using my netbook for real. [00:26] do dd_rescue may be able to dd to the new disk === c is now known as Guest78443 [00:27] fdisk -l doesn't even see the drive [00:27] soreau, nope, I just have one.. but, my lappy has built in wifi but, I don;t use it cause it blowz.. :p [00:27] torn: huh. looks like I have my evening cut out for me =) [00:27] jrebeiro: do it as root [00:27] Matisse: not sure where you can get tthe deb from. [00:27] I am root [00:27] sudo fdisk -l [00:27] you can't run pvdisplay as non-root [00:27] blz, I might also suggest trying out Xubuntu, as well (with the same netbook-kernel). Xubuntu uses the Xfce desktop environment, which uses fewer resources and is designed for slower systems. [00:27] I am su'd to root [00:27] ActionParsnip, should I try forcing something? [00:27] yes, i'm familiar with xubuntu [00:28] not a huge fan of xfce though, to be honest [00:28] Matisse: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdebase-runtime/+bug/437499 [00:28] I can write Sedish characters, but url and php-cli doesn't seem to handle Swedish characters correctly. [00:28] blz, with Xubuntu, you should be able to run the same programs as you would on Ubuntu, since Xfce uses the same GTK libraries. [00:28] right. i just don't particularly like the interface [00:28] blz, no problem. Just wanted to throw it out there. [00:28] Matisse: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdebase-runtime/4:4.2.4-0ubuntu1~jaunty1 [00:28] yeah it's a good suggestion in terms of performance [00:29] i suppose i could always use iceWM or fluxbox too [00:29] blz: is there a package for dd_rescue [00:29] I can't find it in apt [00:29] CaBlGuY: Well this is part of your problem. What you're seeing is your internal card most likely which is 'working' but not really. I would recommend first disabling your onboard card in your BIOS if it gives you such an option [00:29] ActionParsnip, that doesnt sound so good... [00:29] I'm getting the feeling that I may have to reinstall my system. [00:29] Matisse: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/32496649/kdebase-runtime_4.2.4-0ubuntu1%7Ejaunty1_i386.deb 32bit [00:29] or do I need to compile from source [00:29] blz, yeah I understand. Me, I prefer simpler/faster/low-profile interface over something that looks nicer, but some people prefer the opposite. [00:29] jrebeiro: hmmi thought there was... i'm sure you can find isntructions on google [00:29] To each their own! [00:29] haha torn: yeah i'm a sucker for eye candy [00:29] soreau, let me see if I have that option.. brb [00:29] torn: for instance, i can't stand the brown ubuntu theme [00:29] Matisse: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/32510325/kdebase-runtime_4.2.4-0ubuntu1%7Ejaunty1_ia64.deb 64bit [00:29] I just compiled evilvte which seems promising, but configuring means recompiling; can I just install again to apply changes or uninstall first? [00:30] Matisse: download whichever: sudo dpkg -i [00:30] Matisse: then run: sudo apt-get -f install [00:30] blz, GET OUT! Leave right now! Do not mock the holy brown theme! [00:31] tom: i made mine look like xp to be ironic [00:31] blz, the brown theme makes me feel like I am one with nature. [00:31] lol brown theme.... yuck. why can't we have a desktop that works well AND looks good [00:31] blz: ok.. compiled it.. hopefully it works [00:31] i2v8an: lxde :) [00:31] torn: lol brown theme makes me one with my septic tank [00:31] LOL [00:31] torn: I go outside to feel one with nature; mock brown +1 [00:31] gah... people will do as they do. if they dont like the brown theme. let them be about it [00:32] ActionParsnip: true that [00:32] soreau, I was in luck.. :) [00:32] So anyone here ever used CIFS? [00:32] which package can i install for the realplayer plugin in firefox? [00:32] I'm actually having a minor problem with a CIFS share. [00:32] <^Cheeky> hi, on a pentium II 266 with 128 mb ram, what torrent client would you guys recommend, rtorrent or transmission, [00:32] CaBlGuY: Now, I assume it will show no wifi next time you boot which is pretty much a good thing for your case [00:33] ^Cheeky: transmission here, both are fine [00:33] installing package "realplayer" from medibuntu repo didn't install the plugin [00:33] soreau, I will teel u in a sec.. [00:33] torn: is it a CIFS share or are you using CIFS to access an SMB/Windows share [00:33] ^Cheeky, there is also qbittorrent, but it might be a bit more heavy. [00:33] before I had to reboot someone asked me to start firefox from the command line and past the output here. How does one start firefox from a command line? I can open a terminal window, just don't know how to launch a gui program from there. [00:33] jrebeiro, no. [00:33] ok, when compiling in general: will install again overwrite or do I need to uninstall first? [00:33] blz: dd_rescue can't read a single block [00:33] jrebeiro, the CIFS service is running on a FreeNAS (FreeBSD) box. [00:33] <^Cheeky> ActionParsnip: never done, on my ubuntu server, thou, umm you wouldnt have a tutorial would you [00:33] saturnin1: just run the name, eg. "firefox" [00:34] jrebeiro: maybe it's a physical failure? [00:34] <^Cheeky> i say one for transmssion but seems alot of hacking and slashing to get it to work [00:34] soreau, well, I stil see the network and Ubuntu still sees both wireless adapters.. [00:34] :/ [00:34] that was easy. [00:34] saturnin1: use tab to autocomplete; if you use firefox 3.5 it may be "firefox-3.5" [00:34] ^Cheeky: sudo apt-get install transmission [00:34] jrebeiro, my problem is that if I stop the CIFS service or shutdown the FreeNAS box before unmounting the share on my local machine, all hell breaks lose. [00:34] Evelina: tricky stuff. can you pastebin the output of the 'locale' command? [00:34] ^Cheeky: rtorrent is good if you're not afraid of the command line [00:34] blz: well.. I'm sure it is since it threw a SMART error [00:34] <^Cheeky> ActionParsnip: that command, will install trnasmisisons on my server ? [00:34] jrebeiro, is there a way around this? (Sometimes it can't be helped for a server to lose power, or to forget to umount before stopping a service. [00:34] CaBlGuY: If you disabled it in the bios, it shouldn't be seeing it at all. Are you sure you saved your bios settings? [00:35] jrebeiro: you're sure it is a physical failure? [00:35] OK... here it comes [00:35] I get an input/output error when trying to do anything on my MiniSD card. It *just* started happening to, as I've been copying/removing files from it 10 minutes ago just fine. [00:35] Any ideas? [00:35] (firefox:6823): Pango-WARNING **: failed to create cairo scaled font, expect ugly output. the offending font is 'Arial 9' [00:35] ^Cheeky: both rtorrent and transmission can be ran as daemons and can be accessed via web browser [00:35] hi, how can i watch a quicktime video on mozilla? i checked and i have totem plugin installed with quicktime plugin for totem installed as well but apparently the "playing" doesnt start. whatz wrong? thanks [00:35] ^Cheeky: yes [00:35] soreau, yep, I save dthe settings, let me go back and check just to be sure though.. [00:35] Evelina: also, is this the only locale-related problem you have? and one more: can you pastebin an example of some code that does the wrong thing for you? [00:35] Phase: i'm inclined to say it's a problem with the card given the sudden onset [00:36] guyz how to disable stack protection ? [00:36] ^Cheeky: http://trac.transmissionbt.com/wiki/HeadlessUsage [00:36] blz, Lovely.. :x [00:36] <^Cheeky> ActionParsnip: here goes nothing installing it [00:36] blz: well here is what happened... I tried mounting a AFP share off the server and it died. the box pinged so I tried SSH'ing to it and the connection closed immediately.. I thought that was odd so I threw a monitor on it and saw the screen flooded with IO Errors.. I couldn't type a single character they were flying by so fast [00:36] ^Cheeky: its: sudo apt-get install transmission-daemon [00:36] so I restarted the server and BAM.. SMART error saying something about invalid parameter order [00:36] blz, Any ideas on what I can try though? [00:36] jrebeiro, if I try to umount AFTER the CIFS service has been stopped (or FreeNAS server is powered down), it just freezes on me until I type CTRL + C. If I try to use Nautilus, no file browser windows display, and it just freezes. Sometimes when I try to umount it will say "busy". If I am lucky and the terminal doesn't freeze, I can use "umount -f /mnt/cifs_share" [00:37] jrebeiro, this makes me nervous that I will get corrupted data if I do not umount before stopping the CIFS server? [00:37] jrebeiro: hmmm... afaik that doesn't rule out the possibility of a phsyical problem like a head crash. the drive spins up and everything, I assume? [00:37] soreau, it says built in "lan" not built in wifi.. [00:37] Phase: none at all, except checking the filesystem... [00:37] are you able to mount it, Phase? [00:37] don't know if that makes a diff.. [00:37] blz: yes.. and remember.. GRUB loads off one of the partitions [00:38] gonna try fsck right now [00:38] jrebeiro: hmm... then the plot thickens... [00:38] CaBlGuY: Oh yea, that is different. That will disable your eth0 interface [00:38] but, it is disabled.. [00:38] hmmm [00:38] guyz how to disable stack protection ? [00:38] i have low expectations for this working.. but at least with the other disk removed the system sees the partitions now [00:38] torn, you shouldnt loss any data, because your CIFS server or NAS will shut down hist own linux based system and unmount there... the only problem you can get if you have unsaved data in an editor or smth. like this [00:38] CaBlGuY: That's for your ethernet port, leave it on [00:38] blz: Yeah, and it's working again. [00:38] blz: Very odd. :x [00:38] Avoloos: he may lose data in a power failure like he mentioned [00:39] soreau, gotcha.. [00:39] realplayer plugin on firefox anyone? [00:39] but a NAS should be better about flushing it's cache so data loss should be minimal [00:39] My karmic is starting up in text mode instead of graphical bootsplash, how to change it to graphical? [00:39] CaBlGuY: Ok, do this: sudo rmmod ath5k && sudo modprobe ath_pci [00:39] !9.10 | alokito [00:39] alokito: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 29th, 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [00:39] hi, does anybody have any good links regarding cscope and tags usage for C? [00:39] thunderbird's output was smaller: (gecko:6921): Pango-WARNING **: failed to create cairo scaled font, expect ugly output. the offending font is 'Tahoma 9.75' [00:40] Segmentation fault [00:40] Avoloos, then how come my system acts goofy if I forget to unmount a CIFS share? What if I wish to leave the CIFS share mounted 24/7, and only be able to access it when the CIFS server is running? In this case, I will simply get a "no connection" message when trying to access the CIFS share if the service is not running on the server. This isn't the case, though. What happens instead is that things start to freeze up on me. [00:40] thiebaude, thanks but the karmic channel is very quiet, no one answers [00:40] ideally, you would have a NAS that supports a UPS and then the UPS would signal the NAS on imminent power failure and shut down gracefully [00:40] alokito, oh, ok [00:40] torn: it won't work that way.. if the connection is lost the share needs to get remounted [00:41] torn: are there any filesystems that perform better on netbooks (16 gig SSD) [00:41] ? [00:41] thiebaude, besides, this problem can occur in previous versions too and solution should be the same [00:41] alokito: did you try manually starting the xserver? [00:42] When you install a package, what directory does the files go into? [00:42] blz, bot too sure. You can give ext4 a try, but I heard it's mostly hype, and not much better than ext3's performance. You will get slowdowns using Firefox, since it needs to write to SQLite database files fairly often. SSD is not good at many small writes, versus a conventional hard drive. [00:42] ok soreau.. [00:42] hey i figured out if my computer shows a wifi symbol ill start thinkin im high. this may be because wifi is my worst nightmare [00:42] fsck.ext2: Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read while trying to open /dev/sda [00:42] thats why i h8 windows [00:42] jrebeiro, what do you mean it needs to get remounted after losing connection? [00:42] EntropikOne, my xserver starts fine, there's suppossed to be a graphical usplash but i see just texts [00:43] torn: right, i've heard about the write issue... I'm wondering if I should go with something that's easier on the processor too, like xfs. I know ext4 was implemented for HUGE drives... [00:43] I'm guessing from the lack of response that no one has any ideas about my problem. Oh well... I guess I'm stuck with the windows solution... back-up what you can and reinstall everything. [00:43] in startup [00:43] Thanks anyway. [00:43] i didn't think fsck would work... ugh.. this is not looking good [00:43] jrebeiro, does the local system continue sending signals to check connection status to the server when a CIFS share is mounted? [00:43] boa noite [00:43] good evening [00:44] torn: i would think so.. it's a tcp connection [00:44] alokito: maybe you have to reinstall the login screen? this happen to my girlfriends netbook running 9.10, solution we used was to type gdm and you get the UI login screen [00:44] ok soreau.. all set... next.. [00:44] jrebeiro, so what option is there so that it will not freeze up other processes (like Nautilus) when the CIFS share loses connection to the server? [00:44] EntropikOne, well its not the login screen its the boot screen [00:44] CaBlGuY: Does iwconfig show ath0 now? [00:45] anyone familiar with fak_raid install wanna answer a couple simple questions for me? [00:45] i'm new over here... somebody must say how do i do to get an information? [00:45] alokito: oh, idk about that, i wouldnt consider that an issue...have you tried posting in the forums? [00:45] RATS! [00:45] renilson: just ask questions :) [00:45] thanks... [00:45] soreau I have eth1 and wifi0 now.. [00:46] CaBlGuY: What does 'lsmod|grep ath' show? [00:46] i need to know how to install an old java, but im not been lucky on the foruns [00:46] EntropikOne, u get graphical usplash if you have the entry "quiet splash" in your boot menu, but it still ain't working [00:46] torn: I just did a quick search.. CIFS does support reconnection [00:46] torn: Do you mount with the gid and uid params, cause this coul'd cause some lags in dismounting non-existent CIFS filesystems [00:46] Im using grub2 that might be the problem [00:46] Avoloos, yes, I do. [00:46] i need to install java jre1.4.2_12 [00:47] ath_pci, wlan, ath_hal [00:47] hey im gonna start driving around with a ziploc of basil and every time i get pulled over ill drop it out of my pocket then ill report the cops who beat me up as incompetent for not properly identifying plant matter [00:47] jrebeiro, I tried searching for a solution to the freezup problem, but all I could find were complaints about when a CIFS share loses connection to the server. [00:47] renilson: you can find the install on java's website [00:47] pour some booze all over yourself too [00:47] hi, how can i watch a quicktime video on mozilla? i checked and i have totem plugin installed with quicktime plugin for totem installed as well but apparently the "playing" doesnt start. whatz wrong? thanks [00:47] renilson: along with instalation instructions [00:47] lmao @ EricTheHax... :p [00:47] yea.. the only thing i found useful was to check /proc/fs/cifs/ [00:47] when there is an issue [00:47] yes, i did... and got installed, but it does not work... [00:48] i dont know how to configure... [00:48] Anyone? fake_raid isuue? [00:48] seems like others are having the problem tho... Avoloos might have a suggestion [00:48] simple question [00:48] i might even be able to sue them: "i am but a cook bringing frsh basil from my garden so i can promise good food wherever i go and now look at me! ripped to shreds, bleeding to death, and cops smoking my basil." [00:48] jrebeiro, I do use uid and gid parameters in my mount options. [00:49] torn: I don't actually know what those options do :) [00:49] I got a question, I'm bout to be installing ubuntu, and I tether My blackberry to My computer to use as a modem but I have to use the software from verizon there access manager, to connect, but when I'm on there site it doesn't show one for linux os's so how would I connect ? [00:49] EricTheHax, I dunno if gettin my azz beat is worth some basil... Hmmmmm [00:50] jrebeiro, no a problem. [00:50] whats a guy gotta do to get a drink around here? [00:50] KynKaid: I don't think it will work.. there are no blackberry drivers for linux [00:50] KynKaid: best you get is bcharge [00:50] t0aster, chill.. lots of peeps gettin help in the room,.. [00:50] no I also just read it up in some other thread that some peoples just didn't specify the gid and uid and it was not the all-in-wonder-solving but it helped them to release the CIFS mounted device via umount and not getting freezed [00:50] kk [00:50] whats a bcharge? [00:50] jrebeiro, I'll try to figure this out. I just don't know why losing connection would freeze up a terminal session or Nautilus. I would think it would simply deny me access because of "lost connection." [00:50] is it possible to completely turn off journaling on ext4? [00:51] soreau?? stil there? [00:51] t0aster: if you don't get a response people probably don't have an answer [00:51] t0aster: you haven't actually asked a question yet have you? [00:51] I didnt wanna flood the room [00:51] KynKaid: bcharge is a utility to charge your blackberry from linux [00:51] Avoloos, the only way I can unmount it is by using the "-f" argument: umount -f /mnt/cifs_share <--- But this only works after I unfreeze! [00:51] KynKaid: I have definitely heard of people tethering their blackberry with Ubuntu [00:51] hello all [00:51] t0aster: you are flooding it by saying things other than your question... just ask your question (on one line) [00:51] its a simple question for someone familiar with installing to a fake_raid array [00:51] KynKaid, someone did found out how > http://www.blackberryforums.com/linux-users-corner/182834-verizon-tethering-ubuntu-working.html [00:51] !ask|t0aster [00:51] t0aster: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [00:52] t0aster: just ask it. [00:52] oh thanks ! *goes to read* [00:52] how do drivers work with unbuntu [00:52] CaBlGuY: Yea? [00:52] OerHeks: AWESOME! [00:52] how do i get drivers for my computer? [00:52] does anybody know if it's possible to turn off journaling in ext4? [00:52] Avoloos, I read that using smbfs instead of cifs solved this problem, but smbfs is out-dated and hasn't been supported for YEARS. (They are focused on CIFS VFS now and dropped smbfs completely.) Plus, CIFS has better speed and performance. [00:52] slimnation7: you don't have to worry about them generally. What do you want drivers for? [00:52] slimnation7: not sure what you're asking, but usually they're either installed in the kernel or you use the hardware manager to install aditional drivers [00:52] . [00:53] torn: which kernel do you run [00:53] soreau, whats next?? I got ath_pci wlan, and ath_hal with lsmod|grep.. [00:53] slimnation7: on rare occasions you have to compile them from source [00:53] KynKaid, old post, but updated 03-24-2009 [00:53] i just didnt know if i needed to find the drivers for my audio, graphics, and internet [00:53] Avoloos, 2.6.28 [00:53] CaBlGuY: Well you don't have an ath* interface so it probably didn't work. Anything interesting in dmesg? [00:53] How do I unaccept the sun license? [00:54] torn I found smth. but dont know if it also applies to your problem but I think so: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=509428 [00:54] slimnation7: no, linux makes sense [00:54] haha thats what i like to hear [00:54] hey there [00:54] also why im switching over [00:54] got my roommate doing it too lol [00:55] slimnation7: for some things like nvidia, ati, and some wireless cards the manufacturers aren't friendly and then you might have to do some work. But whenever possible, the kernel automatically loads whatever modules you need [00:55] on Ubuntu 9.04 I have a problem with the temps.. Everytime it goes over 95 the computer shuts down.. how do I turn it off or set it to a higher level? is it possible? [00:55] prince_jammys: Yes, I'll. [00:55] thanks everyone, is xchat linux friendly? [00:55] Avoloos, I'm reading it now, and thank you. [00:55] I have a question about compiz animation effects (don't see the "burn" effect) you know the fire effect when you close a window, how can i get it ? [00:55] Take0n: That's usually built-in to your computer; it shuts off over a certain temp to protect the internal components [00:55] soreau, I got a whole bunch a stuff with that... [00:56] raeldenk: You need to enable Animations Add-on [00:56] slimnation7: yes, it is. [00:56] soreau, yes i did [00:56] CaBlGuY: Yea, but grep it for ath or look for anything relevant with ath_pci or whatever [00:56] ActionParsnip?? [00:56] I can still see the network but, it's still greyed out where I can't select it... so.... [00:56] thanks guys see you all when i get it installed, im sure ill be around more often [00:56] Hey i was on to get this beeping in my laptop to stop and it did! BUT now when i try to play my radio all it does it play this collection of random sounds. Can anyone please help me!?!?!/ [00:56] squidly, I didn't have this problem on Ubuntu 8.10.. I didn't have it in windows either.. and the problem is I can't even open youtube.. cause it gets over 95 which I believe is kinda wrong.. [00:56] Take0n: in your bios, you should be able to set fanspeed and temp warning right [00:57] hi all [00:57] !hi | Rashko [00:57] Rashko: 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! [00:57] soreau, I have to select it in the ccsm ! [00:57] ? [00:57] Take0n: it's squircle, not squidly ;) [00:57] raeldenk: Yes.. [00:57] OerHeks, I tried but there are no options for that.. [00:57] slimnation7, don't quit too early. You'll bump into many problems with Linux, mainly because of the migration over from a completely different OS. But trust me, just hang in there, ask for help, read up on some information, and you'll find yourself more and more competent at using your computer. You'll start to find out you control your computer, not the other way around. [00:57] ooh sorry squircle :) [00:57] wrong tab [00:58] can ubuntu 8.04 support more than 4 serial port [00:58] Take0n : i think you better open your pc and clean dust, to help the airflow [00:58] soreau, it's done but burn don't figure in choices ! [00:58] slimnation7, I never had to reformat/reinstall any computer that I installed Linux on in order to do a "fresh start" because my "computer is acting slow again!" [00:58] thanks torn, i cant wait, im pretty computer savy [00:58] CaBlGuY: The next thing I'd suggest is compiling the madwifi-ng driver to get a working ath_pci kernel module for your card but I don't know if you feel comfortable doing that [00:58] Is there any command to know the file permission as number "755" "777" "440" etc , if i do ls -l the permission comes as letters , rwxrwxr-- etc? [00:58] soreau, I greped it and I still see Atheros in there but no Cicso yet.. === yCrazyEdd is now known as CrazyEddy [00:58] raeldenk: It should [00:58] *sigh* [00:59] I need help please [00:59] Hey everybody, i'm having an issue with KTorrent on GNOME (Ubuntu, not Kubuntu). Every time I reboot my computer, the columns and headings reset their placement and size to the default; is there a way to preserve that between reboots? [00:59] °__° so what to do ? [00:59] slimnation7, if you know what you're doing and stay headstrong, you'll realize that most of your "problems" are in fact endeavors of trying out something new that you can't even do on Windows anyways. [00:59] so it's not ubuntu that controls it but my computer itself? (it is a laptop) [00:59] Rashko: as far as I know, yes. There's no reason why it shouldn't. [00:59] raeldenk: Enable Animation Add-ons then look in the Animations plugin for the Burn effect in the list [00:59] Where is Firefox installed? (the one that comes with Ubuntu) [00:59] soreau, yes this is what i've done [00:59] brb [00:59] can anyone help me get my sound fixed on my laptop? [00:59] raeldenk: And you still don't see Burn? [01:00] ok but how to do that please help [01:00] slimnation7, the only time I ever reformatted using Linux is when I want to switch to a different distro to try out. It's never because I get infested with viruses and malware, and a million services are running in the background. [01:00] soreau, yes [01:00] it wont play anything random noise [01:00] raeldenk: Yes you see Burn or yes you do not see it? [01:00] Rashko, what are you trying to do? [01:00] Prohibited: should be /usr/bin/firefox... but typing `which firefox` should tell you [01:00] soreau, i don't see ^^ [01:00] I have 2 pci with 4 and 6 serial port [01:00] hey guys [01:00] raeldenk: Well I don't know what else to tell you then. I guess you're looking in the wrong place [01:00] Take0n: even laptops can get dusty inside... but with 'the origininal os', did you get softwre to control fan and temp warnings ? [01:01] chisomuche: Did it recently stop working or has it never worked? [01:01] what's the package that installs a kernel with xen compiled into it? [01:01] 0o [01:01] but ubuntu 8.04 recognize only 4 [01:01] ok thanks [01:01] Aalinux: stat -c '%a - %n' * [01:01] i want please to configure more than 4 serial ports [01:02] Rashko, where do you see ubuntu only seeing 4? [01:02] Can anyone recommend a good Identi.ca client for Ubuntu? [01:02] OerHeks, nope nothing.. this problem first occured (the shutdown I mean) right after I installed Ubuntu 9.04 that's why I assumed it had to do with the OS.. [01:02] jordan_U:it never worked. before it just beeped from start up till shut down, i got the beep to go away but now i cant get any sound. I tried to play my radio and watch a youtube video and all that came out was loud random noise. [01:02] dmesg | grep tty [01:02] prince_jammys: Thank you. [01:03] I'm out. Night, all. [01:03] schism2009: I have heard good things about gwibber [01:03] Thanks for the help, jrebeiro and Avoloos. [01:03] Anyone know how to unaccept the sun license once it has been accepted? [01:03] Rashko, $ dmesg | grep serial [01:03] mdwright: uninstall the software? [01:03] whoa... after a reboot... fdisk -l sees the partitions [01:03] maybe dd will work this time [01:03] squircle: If you uninstall the software, the license remains accepted somewhere [01:04] No problem torn. [01:04] Aalinux: you can format the output however you like. see ''man stat'' [01:04] mdwright: completely remove the software (in Synaptic) [01:04] If it was a desktop pc I would clean it but since it is a laptop I am affraid.. :p I mean it's easy to dissasembly it but to put everything back in place.. that's the hard part lol [01:04] mdwright: apt-get purge? [01:04] ok, im back... I think I may just connect to the hard line, do my updates, and go form there.. [01:04] Somebody can help me to install an old java??? [01:05] chisomuche: try running "alsamixer -c 0" and set all of the levels to the green range [01:05] magikid: purge doesn't do anything for it [01:05] renilson: Why do you need an old version of java? [01:05] thanks for the help soreau.. [01:05] squircle: I'm SSH'd into the machine. What else could I remove using synaptic that wouldn't be removed using apt-get? [01:06] i need the java 1.4.2_12 cause its the only one that works to me [01:06] renilson: What application? [01:06] mdwright: sudo dpkg -P [01:06] ni1S ithink it's the same [01:06] i got installed, just like the sun instructions, but it does not work [01:07] ther's a very long text [01:07] its an application from the server on business [01:07] renilson: fishy app you have if it needs this specific java version... but you can go and look in the archives of java.org and then install the binary package (if it exists) [01:07] squircle: doesn't that do the same thing as apt-get remove? [01:07] shit... the bad disk contains the lvm superblock [01:07] mdwright: no.

Then you can do an "apt-get remove " [01:56] Jordan_U: Firefox is showing the characters as they should be seen. [01:57] hi, I have a friend who is migrating from windows to Ubuntu Studio, but he is having trouble to set up his wireless network. Can anyone help? [01:57] i have no idea what it is [01:57] Evelina: A link to the html page you are getting with curl would help to ( to see if it sets character set in html ) [01:57] hey it worked thanks. [01:57] it was a simple restricted driver, i clicked "enable" [01:57] ubuntu_, then search synaptic for ati, and check the ati driver package names [01:57] Jordan_U: And when I look at the source code using Firefox, then the characters also will display in a correct manner.

[02:00] Evelina: What's happening is that the terminal doesn't understand html, and the character set is defined in html [02:01] MenZa, you mean it didn't went well? [02:01] Take0n: I haven't tried. :) [02:01] Take0n: Maximus is still bothering me, but I doubt it's *that* much of a hassle.

[02:02] now it is hooked up to the network [02:02] how do I reconfigure the network? [02:02] joeb3_: hmm...no i apt-get installed it [02:02] since ubuntu studio doesn't seem to have the network-manager, I am clueless.

[02:04] abe3k, yup [02:04] Kage_Jittai: Repeating your question won't do anything but annoy the other users in here. If someone knows, they'll tell you. If not, try searching around and ask again later. [02:04] #ubuntu-es [02:05] Jordan_U: Ok, but how do I get the terminal to show the caracters as in the source code.

[02:06] it is even the smiles look not right with the new hebrew fonts i got with the packge [02:06] alokito : I hope that I won't face a kernel problem, since I guess the download version ships with older kernels [02:06] *window [02:06] lol [02:06] abe3k, nope, you can update your kernel anytime u want [02:06] Firefox 3.5 in Ubuntu has graphics issues [02:06] joeb3_: i am not following [02:07] just update from the repo don't install manually [02:07] alokito : good to know that :) [02:07] Coolg1026: How so?

Have the Ubuntu developers already put this fix out? Can you help me with that?? [02:09] <^Cheeky> when setting up transmissions in ubuntu server, should i create different use account just for transmissions . [02:10] do u think you can do that? [02:10] alokito : I have a 1 Mbit connection [02:10] i keep trying [02:10] basix: Alas, I can't. You can try looking at !launchpad, though. For urgent stuff, I think you're out of luck.

[02:10] abe3k, ok then no problem to give it a try :) [02:10] alokito : of course ! :D [02:10] !karmic | JuanCarlos [02:10] !launchpad [02:10] JuanCarlos: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 29th, 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [02:10] Launchpad is a collection of development services for Open Source projects.

[02:11] im gonna try Webmin, thanks anyway... :) [02:11] alokito : hmm, like what apps ? [02:11] Jordan_U: I can write Swedish characters in Temrinal without any problems, but not getting them to work together with curl, lynx, php etc. [02:11] Evelina: Exactly, set it to iso-8859-1 then try using curl to get http://www.expressen.se/Nyheter/1.1722512/vannen-om-gripne-piloten [02:11] !webmin | JuanCarlos [02:11] JuanCarlos: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu.

[02:12] Anyone responding in #ubuntu-motu ? [02:13] abe3k -- yes [02:13] has anyone actually had any success with airodump-ng ?

I think the character encoding setting is per tab [02:21] EvilPenguin|: Although Jordan_U seems to know much more about this topic than myself. ;) [02:21] Evelina, even. Sorry, EvilPenguin|. [02:21] ok thanks, im using transmission now [02:21] lol [02:21] :) [02:21] Jordan_U: No, I run the test.sh script in the same tab as I run the curl command.

[02:24] Jordan_U: Wait a minute, I use sed to filter the text and I only accept A-Za-z0-9 as characters. I think I have to in some way add Swedish characters too. [02:24] if normal installation works live cd will also work [02:24] you can test by doing a fakauth [02:24] fakeauth* to [02:25] http://pastebin.com/f55b54cf9 [02:25] <_schism_> I need some help and google is letting me down.

[02:27] abe3k, the desktop iso is the livecd [02:28] alokito : but since the machine is arriving soon, I'll have togo with downloading it :) [02:28] Jordan_U: I think the problem is that the php script (or the bash script) use HTML characters (like: ö) instead of the Swedish characters. Then my filtering doesn't work correct. [02:28] alokito : cool [02:28] what happens if you flood a ap with spoofed deauth packets? would that drop the acosiated client? pardon me french [02:28] abe3k, you don't need to order a cd if you have fast internet [02:28] Jordan_U: Will alfa use Swedish characters?

I just want to have the page title, nog the blog title. So I try to get the title tags and then cut the title off at some point.

[03:02] hiii jg [03:02] solid_liq, lol :P [03:02] mgv2: Assuming you haven't already tried to install anything, in a terminal, do sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree. [03:02] RHorse how do I find that using the live CD ? [03:02] mo0nykit: "tee" [03:02] Alan502: What are you using for flash? [03:02] !ot | solid_liq [03:02] mo0nykit: Or rather, tee -a [03:02] solid_liq: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [03:03] djzn, no no, nvidia drivers for linux are much better than the amd drivers [03:03] hio [03:03] bobertdos, but how can i choose out of the three in the terminal? [03:03] Mooch_ are you using the live CD to recover a hard drive install? [03:03] Jordan_U: Well, time to go to bed. Thanks for all help. [03:03] MenZa, it is ubuntu related... I'm using ubuntu to try to go to facebook, and my browser doesn't seem to want to load it ;) [03:03] Evelina: np [03:03] mgv2: which three? [03:03] solid_liq: I beg to differ. [03:03] prince_jammys: Thank yuo too for helping me out tonight. [03:03] RHorse I am in the live CD now, [03:03] MenZa, I don't [03:03] solid_liq: Channel policy does. [03:04] solid_liq: that is facebook related try ##facebook [03:04] MenZa, I'm wondering if it's a browser problem [03:04] I have an issue using WINE to use a Red Alert 2 map editor, I get an error "Improper value format doesn't end in NULL" [03:04] solid_liq: excuse me, according to Phoronix, Nvidia is not supporting SLI or Hybrid Graphics under Linux, ATI Radeon HD 3200 is already well supported under Linux, and CrossfireX is supported. [03:04] bobertdos, dont know really, but every time i try to play the video a window asks to install some codec that it always fails [03:04] original and the two open source others [03:04] and the program won't run [03:04] bobertdos, [03:04] MenZa, which is why I'm trying to diagnose it here to see if it is a browser issue, or something else [03:04] solid_liq: Aha. [03:04] solid_liq: do other sites load? [03:04] Jordan_U, so what should it look like? I'm doing a "fakeroot make-kpkg --initrd kernel-image kernel-headers...." ? Where should I insert tee? [03:04] mooch_ is the problem with the live cd or another? [03:04] djzn, have you even *tried* to use the amd drivers? I have. It made me buy an nvidia card [03:04] IdleOne, yes [03:05] mgv2: Well, you don't want to use any of the open source ones. They only cause problems. [03:05] solid_liq: then it is not the browser [03:05] solid_liq: I am talking about this particular ATI chip.... [03:05] IdleOne, lol nice diagnosis [03:05] solid_liq, ping www.facebook.com from terminal [03:05] IdleOne, really... you must be an advanced webdev! [03:05] alokito, pings respond fine [03:05] RHorse the problem is the installed version on the hard drive, been running it for about a year [03:05] solid_liq, then try another browser [03:05] bobertdos, but original one doesnt play hebrew the right way. [03:05] opera or konqueror [03:06] RHorse I am using the live cd to get here [03:06] bobertdos, i will install the oroginal i guess or nothing at all [03:06] bobertdos, thanks [03:06] hello everyone [03:06] well, it loads in opera [03:06] hiii gaes [03:06] must be the stupid gnome browser [03:06] mo0nykit: Where you would redirect to $filename instead pipe to "tee -a $filename" so "echo test >> file" becomes "echo test | tee -a file" [03:06] am i able to put a sound on when i empty the trash bin in ubuntu [03:06] Can anyone help me here. I just recently used Wubi Installation for Ubuntu and when i try to boot into Ubuntu i get a black screen with white text saying "Cannot Display Screen Resolution or something like that."

I just recently used Wubi Installation for Ubuntu and when i try to boot into Ubuntu i get a black screen with white text saying "Cannot Display Screen Resolution or something like that." [03:07] IdleOne, I suspect you're wrong [03:07] this ubuntu studio jaunty box i gots here just went bonkers all of a sudden, i'm not sure where to start with trying to work it out... it froze up while i was using it, i had to hard-reset, now instead of the login screen i get junk, and unresponsive to input. i'm booted to recovery mode root shell,but don't have any good ideas what to do next. Can anyone give me some hints? [03:07] i was hoping someone could help me with troubleshooting a printer [03:07] i tried the recorvery mode menu stuff too [03:07] Mooch_ you have to mount the partition that your install is on if it isn't already. [03:07] solid_liq, do you use a proxy? [03:07] solid_liq: your probably right. good luck with your problem [03:08] the file system check, and so on [03:08] Can anyone help me here. I just recently used Wubi Installation for Ubuntu and when i try to boot into Ubuntu i get a black screen with white text saying "Cannot Display Screen Resolution or something like that." [03:08] solid_liq, clear all firefox cache and cookie then try again [03:08] nothingHappens: memtest? [03:08] michael_: What kind of printer? [03:08] alokito, no, and I said the "gnome browser", not firefox [03:08] alokito, it's epiphany [03:08] Can anyone help me here. I just recently used Wubi Installation for Ubuntu and when i try to boot into Ubuntu i get a black screen with white text saying "Cannot Display Screen Resolution or something like that." [03:09] Jordan_U, i noticed memtest in the grub menu, what is that actually? [03:09] Jordan_U, okay it's good now. Thanks very much! [03:09] RHorse it is not, can send me the command [03:09] AProPowerRanger, it happens if your resolution is higher than supported by the monitor [03:09] mo0nykit: np :) [03:09] nothingHappens, memtest tests your RAM with bit patterns [03:09] ok [03:09] AProPowerRanger, is there recovery mode in wubi.. Im not sure === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [03:09] if there is try xfix [03:09] mo0nykit, i'll give that a try [03:09] nothingHappens, seeing if your RAM can duplicate (and not corrupt) the bit patterns being sent to it [03:10] solid_liq, does it work in firefox? [03:10] @ alokito ive tryed that and i get the same thing. I have my resolution fine now. Im on win xp. [03:10] why are u using epiphany instead of firefox :-/ [03:10] mooch_ can you pastebin the results of the mount command (type mount in a terminal)? [03:10] bobertdos, Jordan_U says I should use tee... Thanks for your suggestion [03:10] AProPowerRanger, yah your resolution is set to higher in your ubuntu not your windows [03:11] alokito, dunno, I'm boycotting firefox right now because it's crashed one too many times for me [03:11] alokito, how could i change it in my ubuntu.. sorry im new... [03:11] solid_liq, huh! which firefox version are u using [03:11] alokito, hence why I'm using opera and epiphany right now... but it loads in opera [03:11] and... are u using addons? [03:11] ok.. it messed up my desktop :P [03:11] hi guys. can someone help me troubleshoot installing a canon printer on ubuntu [03:11] disable all add on then restart firefox [03:11] alokito, just adsense, and whatever... 2.5.1 or something like that [03:11] alokito, *adblock [03:12] AProPowerRanger, if xfix doesn't work then there isn't a easy way to change it [03:12] solid_liq, install 3.5 [03:12] 2.5 is old [03:12] alokito, I'd tried that, and had the same problems [03:12] michael_: Canon, huh? What's happening to it? [03:12] xfix? [03:12] alokito, but I'm on the more stable 8.04 LTS [03:12] I ran desktop-switcher to switch and try UNR but when I changed back to classic desktop everything disappeared.. now I have no borders nothing... [03:12] solid_liq, does it crash on a particular site or anywhere? [03:12] alokito, the ones after that are too unstable for me; I'm waiting for 10.04 LTS for my next version [03:12] Take0n: that'd be maximus. [03:12] memtest looks ok so far, i'm going to let it run a while longer yet [03:13] the upper bar isn't there and I don't know what to do :\ any help [03:13] i downloaded the recommended drivers and try to print. it shows green blinking light like it is receiving but then never prints [03:13] how do I close it? [03:13] alokito, no, just randomly when I have tabs open (I usually have lots of tabs open) [03:13] solid_liq, karmic alpha6 is very stable for me! :P [03:13] What is xfix? [03:13] if that doesn't uncover any problems, what else might I want to look into? [03:13] Take0n: good question. that's about how far I got ;) [03:13] nothingHappens, yes that takes a long time :) [03:13] lol [03:13] alokito, maybe I'll test it out [03:13] something in video drivers maybe? [03:13] i may have read it wrong but it said i need a usb 2.0 for it to communicate correctly [03:13] AProPowerRanger, from ubuntu recovery mode u can run xfix [03:13] nothingHappens, as they say, run memtest and go to sleep. :) [03:13] yeah i don't want to have to re-explain everything over again in here some hours from now when it's done [03:13] its at the bottom of the list [03:14] oh ok ill go try it. [03:14] RHorse do you get this? http://pastebin.com/m1a3fdfe7 [03:14] Thankyou for your help. [03:14] u can access recovery mode from ubuntu boot menu [03:14] so um... if i don't come up with anything there, what might i want to try next? [03:14] michael_: What does Ubuntu show as your printer in System -> Administration -> Printing? [03:15] solid_liq, you'll probably faint in alpha6, cuz you are still using 8.04lts for stability :P [03:15] what's the wine support channel? [03:15] there's no need of lts for home users [03:15] !wine | AstroEl [03:15] AstroEl: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [03:15] AstroEl, #winehq [03:15] AstroEl: ehm, #winehq. I thought it'd be in there. [03:15] ty [03:16] it shows ip1800_series [03:16] how do I log out by command? [03:16] mooch_ can you navigate over to /media/disk-1? I think perhaps your install is there? [03:16] I mean through terminal? [03:16] MenZa, so hows it going? Do you have the same prob as me or? [03:17] michael_: Is that the right model? [03:17] RHoorse, I have been looking, I think because I am using the live CD it has been locked [03:17] Take0n: I don't use it much, and I just ignore it :). Removing the relevant packages would probably work, though. [03:18] My keyboard is stuck in Greek at the login screen (gdm). I have tried to change /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /etc/default/console-setup, but neither did the trick. I cannot login to my laptop, can someone please help me? [03:18] RHorse media/ disk 1 is the live cd [03:19] I need help with pidgin It wont connect to AIM. I am on it now for IRC so its not completely broken. Anyone have any idea why? [03:19] that's what I am doing right now.. removing packages :p [03:19] How do I update wine for ubuntu? [03:19] how do I logout through terminal? [03:19] AstroEl, sudo apt-get update wine [03:19] takeon exit [03:19] i am trying to install dropbox in karmic and i ket a failed to install bad file descriptor and ideas [03:19] RHorse I found the install, all is locked tho [03:19] nullr, exit will just close terminal [03:19] I want to log out from ubuntu [03:20] sorry I was thinking ssh [03:20] mooch_ what dir is it in? [03:20] np dude [03:20] RHorse, you were right, disk 1 [03:20] the update command takes no argument [03:20] anyone know why pidgin does not connect to aim [03:20] AstroEl: You may have to add the repository from the dev's of Wine if you want their most stable release, but keep in mind that if you do this it has not been tested by the ubuntu team yet for ubuntu. [03:20] alokito, didn't work [03:20] thanks whitey :D [03:21] AstroEl: It's actually sudo apt-get upgrade wine [03:21] alokito, meh, I tried the newer ones, then went back to 8.04 [03:21] mooch_ open a terminal and cd /media/disk-1 [03:21] alokito, I don't care about the new features until they're actually stable [03:21] hey bobertdos. guess what [03:21] solid_liq, they are not unstable for me [03:21] I just got it to print [03:21] alokito, well they were for me [03:21] HRorse ok [03:21] i was not using the correct driver [03:21] alokito, lots of stupid issues with 9.04 [03:22] ok... [03:22] sorry for wasting your time man [03:22] AstroEl: Do you need any help with that? [03:22] now cd /home/LOGIN_NAME [03:23] mooch_ now cd /home/LOGIN_NAME [03:23] please help any one why does pidgin not connect to AIM [03:23] i am trying to install dropbox and i keep getting the dpg error bad file descriptor what is a descriptor [03:23] i have DMZ on that pc why is it not connecting? [03:24] RHorse I can cd to home , then ls is blank [03:24] I'm in #ubuntu, right? [03:24] wow, first time on command line client! [03:24] still no borders or bars :( [03:24] thanks #ubuntu [03:24] :( [03:25] RHorse is it because the directory is locked? [03:25] Ok, so I recently upgraded to Ubuntu Karmic Koala 9.10 Alpha and everytime I try to install something using Gdebi, it tells me "Bad file descriptor" [03:25] Take0n, what? there are always bars on the borders! [03:25] !karmic | webbb82 [03:25] webbb82: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 29th, 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [03:25] Take0n, especially when one country has a different age limit for drinking than the other [03:25] I have no borders on the windows.. and I have no upper or lower bar on my desktop [03:26] Mooch_ can you boot into a recovery console on your bad install? [03:26] Take0n, oh, well that's a panel, not a bar [03:26] Take0n: Can you try running "metacity --replace" ? [03:26] Did not know there was a GUI client :-) [03:26] RHorse ty for your time btw, how so I find the recovery console? [03:27] Jordan_U, thanks! what about the panels? [03:27] Mooch_ When you first boot up your system, does Grub give you a countdown? [03:27] Rhorse the install was good, just lost power supply . after reboot I could not get into the system [03:27] no barbados [03:28] hi all, my gnome keeps forgetting that i have alt-tab assigned to switch windows when i logout>in again. any ideas why this setting isn't being saved? [03:28] bobertdos [03:28] It should be a choice on the grub menu. If you can, you can try to type sudo adduser. That will hopefully restore the desktop and then you can log in as new user. But your system may be borked. [03:28] how do i force a program to run even though it doesn't end in null? [03:28] Take0n: you can try "pkill gnome-panel" and if that doesn't get them back then "gnome-panel & disown" [03:29] if I'm running a command line only environment, can I view a pdf or mov/mpg? [03:29] Take0n: The missing title bars was probably compiz crashing so you should disable "Desktop Effects" in System > Preferences > Appearance [03:29] papapepper, yes [03:29] papapepper, mplayer-ascii will give you an interesting way to see a movie, and less can be used for pdf's [03:30] mooch_ It should be a choice on the grub menu. If you can, you can try to type sudo adduser. That will hopefully restore the desktop and then you can log in as new user. But your system may be borked. [03:30] Rhorse sudo adduser adduser: Only one or two names allowed. [03:30] actually I switched to UNR desktop through desktop-switcher [03:30] can I apt-get install mplayer-ascii? [03:30] but when I tried to switch back to classic === everton137_ is now known as everton137 [03:30] solid_liq, you can watch movie in command line? :o [03:30] it messed everything up.. [03:30] papapepper, I'm not sure if that's the package name.. apt-cache search for it [03:30] mooch_ no I mean in the recovery console [03:30] alokito, yep :) [03:30] solid_liq: less works for PDF? [03:30] wow [03:30] I never had compiz enabled [03:30] answered my own question [03:30] gartral, yep [03:30] alokito: -vo ascii :) [03:30] is the package name mplayer-ascii? [03:30] ill try it now [03:31] mooch_ and the command syntax is adduser user [03:31] papapepper: startx [03:31] solid_liq, so how does it work? [03:31] alokito, matrix-like :) [03:31] RHorse k, brb [03:32] Mooch_: Before you run adduser, did you make a separate /home partition? [03:32] solid_liq, i mean how to open a video? [03:32] solid_liq: Couldn't open DVD device: /dev/dvd (No such file or directory) how do i tell it that it needs to look in /media/cdrom0? === mac9416 is now known as macOut [03:32] does mplayer do .mov? [03:32] Jordan_U this is an existing install [03:32] alokito, gartral : I think it's -d but check the manpage ;) [03:32] I could only install this distro with a basic Ubuntu server package [03:32] papapepper: yes, but it needs qt (quicktime) codecs [03:33] gartral: how do I get those? [03:33] solid_liq, mplayer-ascii -d? [03:33] Mooch_: I understand, is it an existing install where /home is on a separate partition? [03:33] mplayer-nogui is what I did [03:33] there's no package named mplayer-ascii in my repo [03:33] hmm ok [03:33] alokito, no, mplayer and then you tell it through some commandline switch to use the ascii plugin [03:33] If Ubuntu's locking up at boot screen (freezing about 10% into the load bar) on the live CD (I checked it for errors), what's the best way to figure out why? [03:33] Jordan_U Yes seperate /home [03:33] there's mplayer-nogui [03:33] no [03:33] alokito: install libcaca0, and then you'll have it as a vo for mplayer [03:34] gartral: Go into the terminal and use the mount command. You need to point the player to the actual device path, not the mount point. [03:34] grr, I'll google for you [03:34] it's been awhile since I did it [03:34] alokito: -vo caca, it's ASCII, and color [03:34] I have /home on a separate logical volume on the same partition [03:34] Flannel, ok, trying === zagor is now known as Guest13060 [03:34] anyone know where i can donaate prinyer cartiages [03:34] and I installed Ubuntu over F11 on a single lv_root [03:34] ok [03:34] Mooch_: Is it currently mounted? If not that is why you don't have anything in /home and you should NOT run adduser [03:34] ok [03:34] bobertdos: what flag? [03:34] alokito, gartral : http://liquidweather.net/howto/index.php?id=74 [03:34] Caligan ctl + alt + F1 will let you see the messages [03:35] k [03:35] alokito, gartral : you need aalib [03:35] Jordan_U I am in the live cd, it is not mounted and locked [03:35] gartral: You shouldn't need one. [03:35] alokito, gartral : mplayer -vo aa movie.avi [03:35] Mooch_: Why are you running adduser? [03:35] Ahah. Although it just abruptly popped loose and gave a udevd-event /abnormal exit message. Hrm. [03:35] Caligan scratch that, just remove the quiet option in the menu.lst in grub [03:35] solid_liq: im trying to play a dvd >.> [03:35] solid_liq, alokito, gartral: caca instead of aa, because we like color. And the package for it is libcaca0 [03:35] alokito, gartral : but look at the howto to see how to get color, and different effects [03:36] Jordan_U I have lost the gnome desktop and have multiple Cobra errors [03:36] I can do that on a live CD boot? [03:36] Flannel, some things don't look as good in color [03:36] in nautilus [03:36] (Totally new to Ubuntu.) [03:36] still the same problem.. no panels nothing.. when I tried the commands before it froze.. [03:36] Mooch_: Why do you think that adduser will help? ( my guess is that whoever asked you to use adduser did not realize your /home was simply not mounted ) [03:37] Jordan_U ok I am yours to command [03:37] Jordan_U, I tried the metacity command but it works only as long as the specific terminal runs.. when I close the terminal it goes back to no borders.. [03:37] Mooch_: Have you done an fsck of your /home partition? [03:38] solid_liq: i have libaa1 [03:38] mooch_ is the /home a separate partition on your install? [03:38] Jordan_U no, can I do it now? [03:38] Take0n: "metacity --replace & disown", also once you disable desktop effects metacity will start when you log in so that won't be neccisary [03:38] It is on a seperate partition [03:38] Mooch_: Yes [03:39] desktop effects are disabled [03:39] Flannel, alokito@alokito-karmic:/media/Multimedia/Music Video/English 2008$ gartral : caca -vo Rihanna_Umbrella.MPG [03:39] gartral: command not found [03:39] I just did a reboot but the problem remains [03:39] I used the dd command to back up a drive image. As I understood it, I would be able to restore the drive image with the command "cat x* | sudo dd of=/dev/sda3". However something I just read claimed that if sda3 doesn't exist, dd will start at the beginning of the disk, and create it. Start at the beginning of the disk? That would overwrite my existing Vista partition! I want it to create a new partition from unallocated space on the d [03:39] Mooch_: Do you know the device names for your partitions? [03:39] Reading state information... Done [03:39] libcaca0 is already the newest version. [03:39] alokito: It's mplayer -vo caca, "-vo caca" is a parameter to mplayer [03:39] okay [03:39] alguien habla español??? [03:39] Jordan_U here is pastebin [03:39] http://pastebin.com/m1a3fdfe7 [03:39] !es | gerardo [03:39] gerardo: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés.

I can understand the video much but it's cool :) [03:44] can't [03:44] gartral: It's been a while since I've used mplayer, but it should be somewhere in the preferences. [03:45] bobertdos: in terminal... [03:45] <^Cheeky> how can i download a torrent file using transmission deamon via ssh into a headlesss server ? i used the command "transmission-remote --addd torrenfile.torrent" [03:45] gartral: Oh, uh, look at the manpage for it first. man [03:45] <^Cheeky> but got this error http://pastebin.com/m3ec094ef [03:46] i am running kde and i can't seem to get my widget layer configured so plasmoids only live on the widget layer [03:46] Mooch_ are you piping the output? Don't pipe the output. [03:46] Question regarding the burning process before installing, do you just burn the ISO or the mounted disk? [03:46] My keyboard is stuck in Greek at the login screen (gdm). I have tried to change /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /etc/default/console-setup, but neither did the trick. I cannot login to my laptop, can someone please help me? [03:47] Drew_foo: burn it as an image not data [03:47] RHorse I dont know what you mean [03:47] hi. i want to deploy a simple web page on apache...are there any tutorial links... [03:47] apache.com [03:47] and how do you install karumba === zoo-zed is now known as zoo_zed [03:48] am in the right room? [03:48] mooch_ try going to a full console by typing alt + ctl + f1 and typing it. To get back type alt +ctl + f7 [03:48] scunizi, Ok, I have done so (I did both in the process). It recognizes it is an image disk, but I can't get it to boot from the CD. I have read the guide and changed the boot setup to CD/DVD, ideas? [03:48] varsendaggr: there are people here running kubuntu and kde.. but there's also #kubuntu [03:48] Mooch_: Try "sudo fsck -n /dev/sda2 /dev/sda3" and pastebin the output [03:48] alokito, that's why I was saying b&w can be better than color [03:48] anyone know a good network manager for ubuntu-server (TUI)? [03:49] Witepa: what layout is active in tty1? [03:49] jrib: Greek. [03:49] Drew_foo: if you put the cd in a machine and "open" it.. do you see files or one file with iso at the end? [03:50] scunizi, I can see the files including autorun [03:50] Jordan_U, I ran the command gnome-panel & disown and it opened the panels again but if I close the terminal they will disappear. How do I make them constant? === tuxracer9 is now known as tuxracer [03:50] I also got some warnings or error messages but I don't know what they mean.. http://paste.ubuntu.com/280072/ [03:50] Witepa: you should use « dpkg-reconfigure console-setup ˙or whatever it is [03:50] or should I ignore them? [03:51] jrib: yeah, I've tried that from the LiveCD and using chroot... but it didn't work. [03:51] scunizi, no one in #kubuntu [03:51] Drew_foo: sounds like you burned it correctly. if it's not booting even after changing the boot sequence then you might check the md5sum of the iso and compare it against the published md5sum number for it.. also is this a laptop or desktop? [03:51] Witepa: check what your boottime.kmap actually contains to see if that's the issue [03:51] varsendaggr: maybe #kde [03:52] jrib: The problem started when I may have removed the US keyboard layout from the Gnome Keyboard Preferences... do you know what files that affects? [03:52] scunizi i dont find any helpful tuts there... [03:52] Jordan_U pastebin http://pastebin.com/m2537656d [03:52] scuzini, I was sure to do that before pestering you all, the hashes matched perfectly. Laptop running Vista. [03:52] deostroll: basicallly after installing apache a web page you create will live in /var/www [03:52] scunizi just looking to serve up a simple html page [03:52] Witepa: that can't be it. That wouldn't affect anything outside of gnome (not to mention system-wide, non-user-specific settings) [03:53] Mooch_: Try "sudo fsck -n /dev/sda2 /dev/sda3" and pastebin the output ( don't forget the "-n" ) [03:53] Drew_foo: is it a Dell? [03:53] on ubuntu server, what permissions do regular users have when it comes to sudo [03:53] scunizi so thts where u are supp to create ur web pages? [03:53] scuzini, Acer [03:53] Ben64: None [03:53] deostroll: in a text editor [03:53] :( [03:54] Ben64: If they are in the admin group they can run anything as root, if they aren't they can't run anything as root [03:54] jrib: This problem started immediately after I changed the keyboard settings there though, but yeah, that baffled me too. I think I did select some sort of "Apply System Wide" option though, that may have caused the issue. [03:54] Ben64: You can change that though [03:54] Drew_foo: some laptops have an option on boot to change to a cd.. with the press of an "F" key.. even after changing the boot order.. you might have one of those. [03:54] Witepa: I still doubt it [03:54] Jordan_U: cool [03:54] Witepa: check /etc/environment [03:54] jrib: my /etc/console-setup/boottime.kmap.gz is a binary file, how do I read it? [03:55] scunizi, to confirm, reboot with cd and hold down 'F' key? [03:55] I downloaded and installed the current version of ubuntu--what was that? Hardy Heron? [03:55] Jordan_U pastebin http://pastebin.com/m7907c6c4 [03:55] Witepa: zless [03:55] solifugus: Jaunty Jackalope. 9.04.

[03:56] scunizi so if u r creating a web application as such...you'd hve to create folders in /var/www and proceed with development? [03:56] deostroll: are you looking for a program to design a page? Open office will save files in html.. there's another that took over after NVU was no longer maintained but I've forgotten the name. [03:56] i think i got this ubuntu down to pat...jrib [03:56] jimbeam12: cool [03:56] anyone know a good network manager for ubuntu-server (TUI)? [03:56] solifugus: alternatively try lsb_release -a in a terminal - that'll give you your current version. [03:56] well neerl.. [03:56] I swear when I used to use ls it sorted with uppercase names first. [03:56] world out the bootloader splash..just need to get the picture to fit the screen on startup [03:56] jrib: What am I looking for in boottime.kmap? I found no instances of " gr " [03:57] Drew_foo: no.. reboot the machine with the cd in and watch the screen. You may be present "quickly" with an option to boot from cd by pressing a button.. sometimes that button is one of the "F" keys.. ie. F1, F2 etc. [03:57] scunizi: no...i hve html editors. i just want to deploy web apps [03:57] Witepa: that's the actual layout, read it and see if it's greek or not [03:57] MenZa: yep.. that command says it's 9.04, Jaunty [03:57] Mooch_: Try "sudo fsck -n /dev/sda2 /dev/sda3" and pastebin the output ( copy it exactly, you need both the sudo and the -n ) [03:57] So I am downloading the panda3d package for that version..

[03:59] jrib: I...think it's greek? It's hard to tell, I'm not sure how to interpret the file [03:59] linux: I'm afraid I don't know what TUI is. [03:59] Witepa: pastebin it [03:59] MenZa: TUI = Terminal User Interface as opposed to GUI = Graphical User Interface [03:59] jrib: alright, give me a sec, the ocmputer at hand isn't connected to the internet [03:59] cli -- command line interface [03:59] linux: Aha. There's ifup, ifdown, and ifconfig - the tools of the trade. [03:59] MenZa: yes, they are good, but is there one manager for them all? [04:00] scunizi: wht abt creating a folder where by i can manage different web applications... [04:00] MenZa: my eye sight is going, is there a VUI for ubuntu? [04:00] linux: ip addr show works aswell (iproute2 tools) [04:00] Jordan_U http://pastebin.com/m43114a94 [04:00] Witepa: hrmm, can't really stick around. probably the easiest way is to run console-setup, choose some other layout (like french or something), and see if it changes [04:00] scunizi, Thanks for your suggestions but no luck with the F key. [04:00] Drew_foo: I'm stuck then.. sorry [04:00] jrib: alright, it will be up in a sec though [04:01] scuzini, not your fault, I appreciate you trying to help. [04:01] Biovore: does iproute2 allow you to connect to wireless networks, and allow the same applications as gnome network manager? [04:01] deostroll: are you developing "applications" or just pages? [04:01] Mooch_: Try "sudo fsck -n /dev/sda2 /dev/sda3" and pastebin the output ( copy it exactly, you need both the *sudo* and the -n ) === idiot is now known as Guest91727 [04:01] Drew_foo: np :) === prince_j1mmys is now known as prince_jammys [04:01] Mooch_: Sorry, missed second [04:02] jrib: http://paste.ubuntu.com/280079/ [04:02] scunizi actually both :) [04:02] what i dont understand is if i use the gui for gdebi i get a Bad file descriptor but if i install via terminal or use kpackage namager it works [04:03] Mooch_: Ok, your partitions look fine [04:03] Jordan_U nest step? [04:03] is there a way to turn off option which seek for password every time I turn my laptop from suspend? I know this is a security problem but my laptop never lives house. [04:03] deostroll: you can create them anywhere you want.. to view them in a browser they typically have to be copied to /var/www unless you change the defaults for apache.. if you're adding php and other things.. that is beyond my experience.. you might ask in #ubuntu-server [04:03] deostroll: or #apache [04:03] Mooch_: Do you have another machine that can stay connected to IRC while you boot back into the installed system? [04:04] scunizi cool! thanx [04:04] is there one CLI manager for all the networking packages, with the same functionality as gnome-network-mgr? [04:04] milos_: I think it's in System > Preferences > Screensaver [04:05] Jordan_U tis me mooch [04:05] Jordan_U: you mean I need to turn off Screensaver? [04:06] milos_: No, I think the option to lock the screen when the screensaver starts also applies to resume from suspend [04:06] whats the command to show installed ubuntu version [04:06] Ben64: lsb_release -a [04:06] uname -a [04:06] Ben64: lsb_release -a [04:07] thx*2 [04:07] Jordan_U I am on both now......Mooch_ is the problem computer [04:07] Jordan_U: that option is already turrned off [04:07] Mooch: Ok, have you tried the failsafe gnome session yet?

From there you can choose to start in the failsafe gnome session which is more likely to work when the normal session does not [04:08] are rootkits in linux really a problem anymore? Upon further research, it seems it doesnt really affect the 2.6 kernel...

[04:09] ghindo: Perhaps just delete the profile in your home directory. [04:09] Witepa: try the french thing. I do know that you need to run update-initramfs if you switch that kmap for it to take effect (console-setup does this, but checks certain checksums). If you choose something completely new then 1) you can be pretty sure the change takes effect 2) you can see if your kmap in tty1 actually changes [04:10] why don't you just tell me [04:10] ghindo: Chaz has the right first approach.. it's actually in /home//.mozilla [04:10] "use google" isn't an ans [04:10] scunizi, I'm not sure.

[04:25] Earlier today, I went to gparted and dismounted my 4GB Sandisk Cruzer micro USB key. Unfortunately, when I try to mount it in gparted, there is NO options to do this from there. So I tried the following command: [04:25] mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /mnt/sdb1 [04:25] stepnjump: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[04:29] !tar | Eric_XTC [04:29] Eric_XTC: Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with file-roller (GNOME) or Ark (KDE) - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression [04:29] !sudo | Eric_XTC [04:29] Eric_XTC: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root").

For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [04:29] !sudo | Eric_XTC [04:29] so giv me an example of how to instal them [04:29] bastidrazor, I tried that but it didn't work. I will try again [04:29] stepnjump: but using /media/sdb1 would be a better idea since it would show on your Desktop. [04:29] * AgentArmstrong kicks ubottu [04:30] try using another editor in sudo too, maybe gedit is trying to do something weird like copy resolv.conf to a temp file, edit the temp file, then write the temp file back while somehow dropping privilages [04:30] Witepa: any luck? [04:30] ok I will try that bastidrazor, I will let you know [04:30] Eric_XTC: Really, tar.gz files are archives, like zip files, so you extract them. If they contain source code, you must compile that source code. [04:30] !compile | Eric_XTC [04:30] Eric_XTC: Compiling software from source?

[04:34] Eric_XTC: why are you installing a new apt? [04:34] no [04:34] alokito: http://paste.ubuntu.com/280091/ [04:34] didn't work [04:34] Eric_XTC, what software are u trying to install?

[04:35] hello, iam on ubunto 9 with dual boot vista/ubuntu , when i try hibernate ubntu, it say me it dont have swap big enought . can i increase swap size using gparted ?or exists another way »? === dbd\ii is now known as dbdii407 [04:36] Witepa: if this doesn't work, you could try renaming the greek keymap and copying the us one over it... [04:36] so i extracted this what do i do now? (cinelerra-4.1-ubu_9.04) [04:36] adonai2009, if you have free space then u can resize the swap partition with gparted [04:36] Eric_XTC: cd to it [04:36] alokito: same problem but keep in mind that I went and changed something in the kusers earlier as my virtualbox guest's USB was not recognized [04:36] alokito: Must have changed something crucial [04:36] if there is no free space then resize the previous or next partition to the swap and use the free space on swap [04:36] adonai2009: and you'll probably need to do so in a live session [04:37] stepnjump, reboot pc then try again [04:37] i tryed but it dont move . humm i tryed first to free some ubuntu disk part sapce an the increase swap but it dont move . why ? [04:37] Jordan_U rebooting [04:37] ok, I will be right back guys.... [04:37] thanks [04:37] stepnjump, if apt is not working then ur system is half dead [04:38] I'm trying to share a folder through "Shared Folders" on Ubuntu with a Mac, and for some reason when I grant access to a user (clicking their username under the "Users" tab) as soon as I close Shared Folders and open it back up again, it is unchecked (and the share won't connect on the Mac). Any ideas as to what I'm screwing up? [04:38] Thanks alokito and bastidrazor [04:38] hm [04:38] oops [04:38] alokito === onchoe is now known as Ce_Zhha [04:38] alokito: I know that unfortunately I was loosing a lot of data in NTFS due to bad sectors [04:38] lstarnes: w8 I can't find /etc/lsb-release [04:39] is it possible to completely dump firefox in ubuntu if replaces with another gecko browser? [04:39] stepnjump, do u have an ide hard drive? [04:39] ShapeShifter499: are you using ubuntu? [04:39] jrib: Yeah, I'm rebooting right now, let's see... [04:39] adonai2009: have you resize another partition in order to create unallocated one? [04:39] Time to reset my net (and probably kill my internet). [04:39] satas don't usually get bad sector [04:39] coffeej: sure, why not? [04:39] alokito: Well, a SATA yes [04:39] is there one CLI manager for all the networking packages, with the same functionality as gnome-network-mgr? [04:39] Jordan_U no change, [04:39] lstarnes: nvm [04:39] IDE I believe [04:39] lstarnes: found it [04:39] strange :/ [04:39] alokito: Not SCSI. It's just a laptop [04:39] Mooch: Still auto logged in? [04:39] ok [04:39] jordan_U yes [04:39] lstarnes: thanks for help! [04:40] Jordan_U and same errors [04:40] linux: what do you want it to manage? "networking packages" or connections? [04:40] jrib: just wondering what ubuntu depends on in ff... i use seamonkey and need to clear some room on an old box [04:40] jrib: connections [04:40] coffeej: oh, that I don't know. There are probably a few packages that depend on firefox for some not so good reason [04:40] jrib: but if it can handle the packages too, such as dig, that would be a plus [04:40] linux: wicd has a curses client [04:41] alokito: Yesterday, a msg popped up to let me know that a file that was not deleted got lost... I guess my HDD is slowly still degradating [04:41] is there a alternative to gdebi whenever i install a app with gdebi i get a bad file descriptor [04:41] jrib: No luck with the rc.login [04:41] Witepa: did you try recovery mode or normal? You mean rc.local? [04:41] jrib: ok, wicd can be totally CLI? [04:41] stepnjump, have you chkdsk-d your hard disk? data loss is not always because of bad sector [04:41] linux: yes [04:41] jrib: thanks [04:42] alokito: sudo: apt: command not found [04:42] ooooops!@!!!!!!!!!!!!! [04:42] jrib: yeah, I mean rc.local, sorry. It was the recovery mode (root login). [04:42] webbb82: Do you HAVE to do it graphically or could you stand using the terminal? [04:42] brb [04:42] Witepa: yeah, try the normal boot [04:42] Witepa: and go to tty1 [04:42] terminal is fine [04:42] No I haven't done a chkdsk [04:42] stepnjump, you can chkdsk ntfs in windows don't know how to do it in linux [04:42] jrib: alright [04:42] webbb82: Then you'd probably be better off using the dpkg command. [04:42] Witepa: you might be able to login with an on screen keyboard ( not as a solution but to help debugging ) [04:42] fsck might work if you have ntfs tools [04:42] what command is that [04:43] No more windows in here! [04:43] ooops [04:43] sudo dpkg install --appname [04:43] webbb82 open a terminal and type: man dpkg to read more about it [04:43] alokito: I guess I could run DOS [04:43] webbb82, its dpkg -i [04:43] webbb82: Gdebi is not the problem and karmic support in #ubuntu+1 only [04:43] how do I install the lxde desktop environment? [04:43] oh no.. it's in EXT3 [04:43] i know i keep asking in there [04:43] stepnjump, i dont know if dos can detect ntfs [04:43] I guess it won't work [04:43] jrib: I can't even login to tty1 :( [04:43] Jordan_U: How would I enable an on screen keyboard? It would be pretty useful... [04:43] Jordan_U, how do u know its not the problem [04:43] stepnjump, then u can run fsck [04:44] Witepa: that's pretty weird... it shouldn't happen... [04:44] alokito: when I issue the bash cmd: sudo apt, should it find something? [04:44] ok thanks. I will try it right now [04:44] stepnjump, nope [04:45] webbb82: Because gdebi uses dpkg ( and so does any other way you would install a .deb ) [04:45] apt is not a command, apt-get is [04:45] jrib: Yeah, I'm a bit weirded out too... characters that do map out the same as US (like K) still work fine, but everything that isn't ascii just outputs as diamonds. [04:45] Okay, the people over at #mac are completely useless, so may I ask a mac-related question here? After wiping my Ubuntu install, weird stuff's been happening to my hard drive. [04:45] Blackbird, you should ask in #ubuntu-offtopic [04:45] alokito cuz I did do some apt-get installs b4 and it worked fine [04:45] alokito: Oh, good point. [04:46] Witepa: I'm going to bed now, but setting the layout in an fdi file or just replacing the greek keymap with the us are my last suggestions before I leave. Good luck [04:46] #join windows [04:46] jrib: Okay, thank you for all your help! [04:46] alokito: thanks for the suggestions. I will try running fsck right now [04:46] stepnjump, search synaptic for local or obsolete package and remove the ones that u might think is making trouble [04:46] hpfly wl see you hr ltr [04:46] Prohibited: It would be /join #Windows [04:46] stepnjump, don't run fsck on a mounted partition, it might crash! [04:47] woops lol [04:47] oh yes? mmmm [04:47] wanted to see how few people there are in there. [04:47] ok [04:47] what is the current package for calibrating joysticks/gamepads? [04:47] Prohibited, its /join #windows [04:47] well, then I'm pretty much f* [04:47] I wld hv to reinstall Windoze [04:47] to run chkdsk === prince_j1mmys is now known as prince_jammys [04:48] b4 reinstalling linux [04:48] lol [04:48] what is the current package for calibrating joysticks/gamepads? anyone? [04:48] stepnjump, no I guess you can run fsck from xp recovery mode [04:48] what is the current package for calibrating joysticks/gamepads? anyone? what happened to jscalibrator? [04:48] no need to install it [04:48] sorry, I mean chkdsk [04:48] not fsck :P [04:48] lol [04:48] Witepa: It's probably a setting /etc/gdm/gdm.conf-custom but I don't know what [04:48] why would you need Chkdsk [04:49] alokito: but fsck, isn't that a ubuntu command only? [04:49] Jappy, to check ntfs partitions for bad sectors [04:49] stepnjump, yah I meant to say chkdsk [04:49] Jordan_U: Do you know if there is a way to turn a keyboard layout selector on in gdm? I hear that it is available in karmic... [04:49] alokito: kk [04:49] yeah, but its not necessary [04:49] Witepa: You can change it on the LiveCD in System > Administration > Login Window and see what change it makes to the config file there [04:49] yeah but I'm not in NTFS nor FAT [04:49] stepnjump, you said your ntfs partitions are making trouble? [04:50] then what are you on o.o [04:50] alokito, I'll give it a try [04:50] Witepa: You checked the session menu? [04:50] how does one log out of gnome without the power button in the upper left? [04:50] if all your partitions are ext3 then fsck will work [04:50] hello [04:50] Jordan_U: Yeah, I can change the language there but not the keyboard layout. [04:50] !ask | qdb [04:50] qdb: 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. :-) [04:50] run fsck from ubuntu recovery mode [04:50] seidos, add the power button to the panel [04:50] alokito: Before! Since then, I reformated the whole hardrive in EXT3 (no dual boot) cuz Linux couldn't partition the hard drive [04:50] Nitrodist, it should be !hi :P [04:51] alokito, I'm learning, dammit! :P also, where's the website with all the commands [04:51] stepnjump, then you don't need windows at all! [04:51] how arent you on ntsf or fat? [04:51] I have an rs232 to uart converter to use it as a serial adapter, but I need to connect a ti calculator using tilp. How can I know if the adaptor is the problem? [04:51] Nitrodist, /msg ubottu [04:51] i create new users for php scripts, how to make they do not show up in right-upward corner menu? [04:51] alokito: Nope except for quicken and maximizer. That's why I installed virtualbox [04:51] seidos: In Jaunty, you can ctrl+alt+del for the prompt to shutdown/logout [04:51] alokito, /msg ubotto... what [04:51] i create with gui [04:51] what is the current package for calibrating joysticks/gamepads? anyone? what happened to jscalibrator?

[04:52] stepnjump, virtualbox windows is not counted as a physical os [04:52] its just an app running in ubuntu [04:52] alokito: I know [04:52] nothing else [04:52] yep [04:52] !help [04:52] 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. :-) [04:52] hello i need help please [04:53] alokito: but what causes my errors when trying to mount then or doing a apt-get [04:53] Witepa: Can you ssh in from another computer? [04:53] jackhammer, what is your question? [04:53] Nitrodist, /msg ubottu a command to see it, don't use bot commands in the channel directly [04:53] my flat screen is giving the error for can't display video mode how do i fix this [04:53] if not necessary [04:53] alokito, there's a website with all of ubottu's subjects [04:54] message me if you can help me [04:54] Nitrodist, maybe, i don't know... but u can check any command u want with a pm to ubottu :) [04:54] Jordan_U: It would be a bit easier to do if I knew its IP address... I'm on a pretty large network and I don't have access to the DHCP tables. Unless.... how proficient are you with nmap? [04:54] how come editing /etc/lsb-release doesn't effect ubuntu tweek? [04:54] jackhammer: try having a look at your monitor's manual. Look for its specs, like refresh rate, native resolution, max resolution, supported resolution, etc [04:55] ok i think i figured it out if i just double click on the .deb file i will get the error but if i right click then click on install with gdebi package installer it works fine , i think i have two gdebi apps [04:55] its not actually mine but a friends [04:55] ShapeShifter499, is ubuntu tweak in the repo!? [04:55] !msgthebot > Nitrodist [04:55] Nitrodist, please see my private message [04:55] they don't have the manual [04:55] jackhammer: okay are you at the machine in question right now? [04:55] ctmjr, thank you, I forgot that command [04:55] Hello. I did something stupid, but which should be easily fixable. [04:55] yes well i am on an older monitor [04:55] jackhammer: Google is your friend :) [04:56] alokito: uh, I know what ya gonna say when I say no, so is there somewhere I can go for helo? [04:56] yeah i went on there and couldn't find anything to help fully [04:56] alokito: help [04:56] alokito: your welcome hope it helps him/her [04:56] i got commands to do and none of them seem to work [04:56] alokito: as per hdsentinel.hu software, I had a lot of bad sectors in NTFS(probably due to virus) and my HDD was down to 59% as of it's health status! [04:56] I edited xorg.conf, I rebooted and now I am stuck with command-line interface only. I only added two lines to xorg.conf, so I need help using vim to remove those lines. [04:56] jackhammer: like setting xorg.conf, etc? [04:56] yep [04:56] ShapeShifter499, i haven't used ubuntu-tweak so can't help [04:56] what's its purpose? [04:57] Witepa: Most DHCP servers will try to give the same ip address when a machine with the same mac address connects multiple times, check what the ip address is in a liveCD [04:57] Unless someone knows a command-line text editor that's more user-friendly than vim. [04:57] Question: How can I convert a .png file to a .svg icon file? [04:57] Gills: nano [04:57] Gills, gedit [04:57] Gills: try nano [04:57] Jordan_U: I would, but my wireless card doesn't work with the LiveCD. Why does Murphy's law have to be so true? [04:57] jackhammer: oh.. i ran into a similar problem. I just wanted to give you a lead on refresh rate, resolution, etc.. I'm sorry I couldn't help any further. I myself couldn't get the boot splash to display [04:57] Witepa: Broadcom card? [04:57] jackhammer: how about going into recovery mode? then run xfix [04:57] Whats the default command line editor in ubuntu? [04:57] vim isn't installed by default [04:58] Jordan_U: yup [04:58] yeah i did the usplash and it came up an error that the file couldn't be open [04:58] alokito: I think it's nano [04:58] is recovery mode like safe mode? [04:58] alokito: nano ( and vim is installed it's just vim-tiny and only available as "vi" ) [04:58] alokito: look here for info about ubuntu tweak--------> http://ubuntu-tweak.com/ [04:58] Witepa: You can copy the firmware from your install to use on the LiveCD [04:59] jackhammer: yup it is.. when you boot up, press ESC to go into the GRUB kernel selection menu, then choose something that says "recovery mode" [04:59] magikid, yup, its installed [04:59] Jordan_U: Alright, how exactly do I do that? [04:59] i would need the lastest version right and what do i do when i get into that [04:59] how can [04:59] Witepa: You just need to copy /lib/firmware/b43 ( and maybe b43-legacy as well depending on the card ) then run "sudo rmmod b43 && sudo modprobe b43" [05:00] jackhammer, whats your ubuntu version? [05:00] 9.04 [05:00] jackhammer: yup try the latest kernel version (recovery mode).. wait until it boots up fully. It will give you a menu on what you want to do next. Look for xfix and press Enter [05:00] how can I know which port is assigned to a usb adapter? I am using a usb to rs232 and i need to know which port is it [05:00] you can go to recovery mode and run xfix, or have you tried that already? [05:00] Thank you magikid and ctmjr! Nano was great! Rebooting now. [05:01] nope didn't know about that til moony told me about it. will do now and will stop by and tell you if it worked or not [05:01] Gills: It's all I use on the cli unless I have my mug with vi shortcuts [05:01] Witepa: I can give more specific instructions if you need them ( not sure how comfortable you are with the terminal ) === bruno is now known as Guest77934 [05:01] i am comfortable with the terminal for the most part brb [05:01] jackhammer, it resets all xserver settings to default so it should fix your problem [05:01] Jordan_U: I think your instructions will suffice, I just copy them to /lib/firmware/b43 on the LiveCD, right? [05:01] hello [05:01] jackhammer: sure good luck [05:01] Witepa: Yes [05:01] is there a way to install windows from within ubuntu? [05:02] !vm [05:02] There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications [05:02] !vm | eut [05:02] eut: please see above [05:02] i dont want to run it from within ubuntu, i just want to install it from within [05:02] eut, like wubi? :P [05:02] !wubi [05:02] Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. [05:03] no [05:03] thiebaude, wubi is to install ubuntu from windows not windows from ubuntu :D [05:03] eut: that was the easy way. A more difficult way would be using KVM (kernel-based virtual machine) [05:03] how can I know which port is assigned to a usb adapter? I am using a usb to rs232 and i need to know which port is it [05:03] alokito, i know [05:03] i want to install windows from within ubuntu [05:03] eut, you wont be able to [05:03] eut: just like an ordinary package? None that I know..

[05:27] sxx, ubuntu ultimate edition is just a remake of original ubuntu and its not official, so I don't think you'll find any help here [05:27] Witepa: They are there by default, at the bottom of the screen [05:27] hello, I have a problem [05:27] sxx: did you install the drivers for the nvidia card? [05:27] Jordan_U: It would be embarrassing if I hadn't... there is a language changer but not a keyboard layout changer. [05:27] so its a pirated version sorry i didnt know [05:27] nice, we're talking about nvidia already [05:27] sxx, I'm not sure what "Ultimate edition" is, but you can install drivers by going to System -> Administrator -> Hardware Drivers [05:27] sxx no not pirated [05:27] JeoTheLeo, say [05:28] sxx, Ubuntu is free so you can't pirate it [05:28] u can remake ubuntu as u like [05:28] <^Cheeky> ok, this is wronh right, if you have a ubuntu server running, and then you install transmission command line only, and you sshd into your box and you try to add a torrent but you get unauthorised user error, and also when i stopped the deamon (stopping the stop script in /etc) and i visit my server via fire fox and i still can open the application .. :S [05:28] sxx: It's not pirated but it's frankly pretty horrible ( broken ) [05:28] sxx, and then it just searches for the right driver [05:28] whew i was worried then [05:28] korin43, correction, its open source so u can't pirate it [05:28] free soft can be hacked and pirated [05:29] so what do i need instead of this version i dont like it [05:29] it happened twice till now, I'm working on ubuntu and suddenly the screen freezes...the pointer doesn't move and the keyboard's Capslock and scroll lock LEDs keep flashing while nothing happens whatever I press on it...also the shutdown button doesn't do anything [05:29] sxx try linux mint [05:29] sxx, go to ubuntu.com and get the newest version [05:29] it's free, you'll just need a CD to burn it to [05:29] and they are free ??????? [05:29] its based on ubuntu too and has all restricted drivers and codecs installed [05:29] sxx: You can even order a CD and they will send it to you for free ( even shipping ) [05:30] sxx linux mint has good support and it looks nice [05:30] I recently installed my new nvidia card...I don't assume there's a problem with it [05:30] sxx: Though it takes a few weeks [05:30] !shipit | sxx [05:30] sxx: shipit is a service that sends free Ubuntu and Kubuntu CDs. See http://shipit.ubuntu.com/ and http://shipit.kubuntu.org - Shipit will send Jaunty (9.04) CDs [05:30] windows mint or ubuntu what one should i get please i have 50mb broadband [05:30] JeoTheLeo, something wrong with your video card, try to reinstall driver [05:30] JeoTheLeo: what kind of processor do you have?

[05:31] hm I was just wondering because I had a similar problem, but it was specific to the AMD Phenom [05:31] mint is same as ubuntu so u can use it the same way [05:32] perhaps the resolution is too high? [05:32] JeoTheLeo, with previous version of ubuntu i dont havent any problem, with this 9.04 version.. i have a lot of problems...

[05:33] there is a install-sh there [05:33] hey so I have a technical writing class that I have to write a manual for (not particularly long, 6+ pages). Does anyone have an idea of something that we need a manual for? I was thinking packaging, but the manual is already decent (it could use work, but not enough to get a good grade) or compiling the kernel (way above my teacher's level..) [05:33] but it needs a file and destination [05:33] I was working on my hosts file and the defaults in apache2/sites-enabled and apache2/sites-available and somehow now my applications in localhost are not working, http://localhost is working but http://localhost/apps is not working :( [05:33] hi alokito :D [05:33] I don't know which parameters I need put. [05:33] I was trying to create virtualhosts [05:34] korin43, how about a good manual for terminal commands? [05:34] are codecs hard to install??? im downloading both now thank you for helping me ^.^ which now brings me to do ineed my norton antivirus and firewalls i did try to install them [05:34] alokito: connecting with the phone is not the issue - its connecting Ubuntu to an ad-hoc network from a Windows XP machine [05:34] ruby_on_tails, i think virtual hosts are in the form of domains/subdomains [05:34] sxx, no its easy, u just have to sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [05:35] JeoTheLeo: no don't need them on linux [05:35] korin43: I wanted to create pointers like appname for localhost/appname its not possible ?

[05:49] In my Home dir. It seems to have made a folder called "Desktop" However.... I things that are on my desktop are not there, It's like I have two desktops, one is my ~ dir. the other one being my REAL desktop.. [05:49] ruby_on_tails: They aren't like windows shortcuts.

[05:50] <^Cheeky> anyone can please hlep me with transmission on a headless ubuntu 9.04 server, :S === RaNdY is now known as Guest49463 [05:50] I've installed things from source already., [05:50] ruby_on_tails: glad I could help [05:50] bullgard4: there are two arm arch images both under 10 mb on ubuntu's website...i don't know which supports the n810, yes, has wifi, usb ethernet, bluetooth, gps, etc [05:51] i dont have the SSD, i was looking at specs to see what level of boost i would get if i bought one [05:51] bullgard4 the n810 is a Cell phone by nokia [05:51] Ximbinha, in the link I just gave, read the para under "lets see what each one of them does…" [05:51] netecho: its an internet tablet, not a cell phone, unless you use VOIP over skype [05:51] ok [05:52] wow I wouldn't waste my money on it unless it had GSM capabilities as well [05:52] n810: I see. May be http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/ will guide you through the beginning of the installation process. [05:52] netecho: it has wimax [05:53] n810 so its only good in major urban areas [05:53] that have wimax systems === c is now known as Guest55788 [05:53] so the other 90% of the continent it would be useless [05:53] netecho: unless u have a cell phone modem :) [05:54] so nothing official from ubuntu even though they started supporting it officially with 9.04? [05:54] it would still be useless for any real business application or even personal application with a GSM modem [05:54] If I get kernel compilation errors (compilation doesn't finish), is it safe to do another "fakeroot make-kpkg"? Will the build system skip those files which were already compiled? [05:54] I'd just get a HTC TyTn 2 [05:54] korin43: network-manager-gnome could use some documentation === _RaNdY is now known as RaNdY [05:55] n810, wait for the n900 [05:55] mo0nykit: No, you need to make clean === RaNdY is now known as Guest6366 === Guest6366 is now known as RaNdY [05:55] Gun_Smoke: the n810 has the same arm7 arch [05:55] Jordan_U: oh, another two-and-a-half hours :( Anyway, thanks! [05:56] n810, cool.. later. [05:56] mo0nykit: look into ccache [05:56] Jordan_U: Good idea :) [05:56] Jordan_U: where is that? [05:57] can any one tell me how to combine orig.tar.gz diff.gz .dcs file [05:57] darksmac: I know that. At what point are you now? [05:57] i have only dl the files [05:57] korin43: Specifically it would be nice if https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing included instructions for using network-manager's built in network sharing as it is MUCH easier than all of the other methods listed there [05:58] darksmac: okay, are they in your home folder? [05:58] When booting my computer displays on the virtual console 1 only 25 lines of text. How can I make it more verbose of boot messages? [05:58] /usr/src [05:58] mo0nykit: The package is ccache [05:58] no no wait /home/darksmac/desktop [05:58] so nothing official from ubuntu even though they started supporting it officially with 9.04? [05:59] Jordan_U: I was under the impression network manager could only have one active connection (so no sharing) [05:59] supported it as stated here: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/arm [05:59] korin43: Not since 0.7, it's just not documented :) [05:59] darksmac: okay.. i think it would be safer to work from /home/darksmac [05:59] I installed ubuntu 9.04 on this rather old computer, and in grub if I have it boot to the updated kernel 2.6.28-15-generic, it will go through the loading screen and then it's all black. Does someone know a fix? === _RaNdY is now known as RaNdY [06:00] moOnykit: sorry they are on desktop but im wroking from terminal now [06:00] I'm trying to customise a LiveCD and have added many packages. Now, I want to change the default app for mp3 files. How to do so using terminal or config files? [06:00] darksmac: create a ~/linux directory. Put your downloaded files there [06:00] Jordan_U: Ah :) === RaNdY is now known as Guest45960 [06:00] ok [06:00] korin43: Here is a video showing connection sharing from 2008: http://magazine.redhat.com/2008/10/16/video-fedora-10-connection-sharing/ it's the closest thing to "documentation" I have found for the feature [06:00] michelle: when in GRUB menu, try recovery mode [06:01] darksmac: tell me when you're done [06:01] It works fine if I choose kernel 2.6.28-11-generic instead though [06:01] michelle, reinstall new kernel [06:01] michelle: had the same problem, install karmic fixed it where jaunty did not [06:01] michelle, do u have a third party graphics driver installed? [06:01] alokito: does michelle's problem have something to do with xfix? [06:02] moOnykit: ok done [06:02] all files now in /home/darksmac/linux [06:02] mo0nykit, it will work if the problem is related with graphics otherwise it wont fix [06:02] michelle: it was a problem with that specific kernel and previous ones in jaunty, karmic ridded all those, also check your swap to ensure it is activated [06:02] Jordan_U: I'll see what I can do. The main problem with this is that I need to write at least 6 pages so I would need to write general documentation, but I think network-manager doesn't seem to have any [06:02] darksmac: okay.. now unpack the .orig.tar.gz "tar xvzf linux_.orig.tar.gz". It will create a new directory called linux- [06:03] alokito: i see.. thanks.. [06:03] n810, karmic is still in development, u shouldn't recommend it to someone [06:03] anyone know an official ubuntu webpage with the instructions to install ubuntu on arm? (i don't see that one exists even though it has been officially supported since 9.04) [06:03] i'm using karmic but I wont ask other's to use it before final [06:03] alokito, you already did [06:04] darksmac: DON'T use sudo [06:04] alokito: ok, i'll refrain from that in the future [06:04] karmic is the only real fix to the issue? [06:04] solid_liq, when? I didnt ask u to install it I said its stable for me :P [06:04] lol [06:04] how do I install karmic? sudo apt-get dist-upgrade? [06:04] korin43: At a guess 6 pages seems about right for documenting the network-manager GUI [06:04] karmic has a bunch of issues, the least of which is the repositories are in flux [06:04] michelle, or alt+f2 update-manager -d === Guest45960 is now known as RaNdY [06:05] mo0nykit: lol ok i used sudo hold up ill dl and restart [06:05] darksmac: WAIT! === RaNdY is now known as Guest26168 [06:05] michelle, u might face problems with the new karmic grub2 [06:05] darksmac: you only need to change the ownerships of your downloaded files === matthew is now known as Guest40270 [06:05] !karmic | michelle [06:05] michelle: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 29th, 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [06:06] Jordan_U, whats the meaning of "Karmic WILL break"? :-S [06:07] alokito: It's still under development and there will be times when an update may cause your system to no longer boot [06:07] I need to understand what all the directories in / mean and contain, is there som manual for this ? [06:07] what are new features in karmic? [06:07] darksmac: try this "ls ~/linux -l" Who are the owners of your downloaded archives? [06:07] Jordan_U, okay.. my system hasn't broken yet :D [06:08] michelle, lots of new features [06:08] ruby_on_tails: Visit tldp.org. Look for the Linux Beginner's Guide by Machtelt Garrels. It pretty much explains the directories on / [06:08] ruby_on_tails: by the default Ubuntu puts everything into / [06:08] root [06:09] ruby_on_tails: that's /home /usr and so on [06:09] mo0nykit: root for all [06:09] i can change ownership [06:09] darksmac: okay, cd into ~/linux, then "sudo chown " [06:09] ruby_on_tails: having it all in / in Ubuntu is useually rather fine, however seperate /home 's can be useful [06:09] darksmac: okay thats good [06:09] !home | ruby_on_tails [06:09] ruby_on_tails: Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [06:10] !usr [06:10] Sorry, I don't know anything about usr === _RaNdY is now known as RaNdY [06:10] !var [06:10] Sorry, I don't know anything about var [06:10] alokito: You may get lucky and miss an update that breaks things, or not use the things that break, but don't count on karmic working at any given time [06:10] :| [06:10] darksmac: also change the group ownership with "chgrp" (i don't know the necessity of this, but I'd prefer to be sure :) === RaNdY is now known as Guest25698 [06:10] Jordan_U, no problem its not my default os [06:10] i have jaunty installed [06:10] alokito: You might notice that ubuntu-desktop is currently held back due to packaging issues [06:10] mo0nykit: ok all owned by me [06:10] okay good [06:10] mo0nykit: ok [06:11] darksmac: now do the unpacking. DONT sudo :) [06:11] mo0nykit: let me change group [06:11] Jordan_U, ive installed ubuntu-desktop, will the system break now? :-S [06:12] alokito: No, at least not because of that particular problem, if you have more questions about karmic join #ubuntu+1 [06:12] it wasn't selected by default so I installed it manually [06:12] ok [06:12] mo0nykit: can't find any such book, did you mean bash beginners guide by Machtelt Garrels ? [06:12] mo0nykit: getting a lot of do directory found errors [06:13] hey, does anybody else have trouble getting firefox 3.5 to automatically open certain file types with a program (like opening docx files with OpenOffice)? [06:13] Hi, does anyone know how record audio before it goes into the sound card (ubuntu jaunty?) [06:13] ruby_on_tails: look further down, or CTRL-F and type in garrels [06:13] from either internet, skype, or an mp3 [06:13] sebsebseb: I know that but there are numerous other folders, I am looking for some manual which explains the contents and purpose of the folders [06:13] darksmac: like what? show me on paste.ubuntu.com [06:13] mo0nykit: rights for all 3 files are r only [06:14] mo0nykit: Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide ? [06:14] ruby_on_tails: well the average user doesn't really need to know what those folders do [06:14] i have a dude, why on my dhcp 3.x y have to put on the subnet values of XXX.XXX.X.0,XXX.XXX.X.32 [06:14] ruby_on_tails: yup, that one :) [06:14] mo0nykit: thanks [06:14] darksmac: okay let me see my files for a while [06:14] sebsebseb: I am a super duper user :> [06:14] and netmask uses 255.255.255.0,255.255.255.224??? [06:14] mo0nykit: ok well ill brb i have to use gui to paste im using ubuntu server === _RaNdY is now known as RaNdY [06:15] When booting my computer displays on the virtual console 1 only 25 lines of text. How can I make it more verbose of boot messages? [06:15] ruby_on_tails: knowing about the hidden .folders in home, is more important for most people than knowing what everything in / does [06:15] darksmac: you probably have only r permissions for your ~/linux folder [06:15] ruby_on_tails: most users === RaNdY is now known as Guest83858 [06:15] ruby_on_tails: you're welcome :) that book helped me a lot too [06:16] mo0nykit: ill check [06:16] Hello, my work uses Microsoft Excel 2007 and they sent me our work schedule for the next 3 months in .xlsx. OpenOffice tries to open it, but it is apparently too large for it to easily convert... and it refuses to use my quadcore processor properly... is there anyway to convert this to a format openoffice will be able to easily use? [06:16] wow there is a hindi version of that book too [06:16] ruby_on_tails: haha that's interesting [06:16] hi, how can i keep networkManager from trying to configure a network card, i got two wireless card, i would like to blacklist NM from configueing one [06:16] Sorry my connection crapped out on me. Did anybody send me any responses? [06:17] sebsebseb: ok, then I was working with apache, etc so I want to read about stuff in those folder because I get lost everytime navigating the dirs :( [06:17] mo0nykit: thanks changed owner and group to darksmac and it works [06:17] thanks [06:17] darksmac: good :) tell me when you're done unpacking [06:17] mo0nykit: ok orig.tar.gz done [06:17] i got two wireless card, i would like to blacklist NM from configueing one? [06:17] mordocai: not sure, but Excel 2007 under Wine to open one way, and I think there is a Excel 2007 viewer program as well [06:18] ruby_on_tails: oh ok [06:18] darksmac: now you also unpack the .diff. I think it uses a different archiving package. I used gunzip for that [06:18] sebsebseb: I will start from / and move to the .files in ~ [06:18] :) [06:18] mo0nykit: ok hold up [06:19] sebsebseb, Okay, i'm going to try excel viewer === _RaNdY is now known as RaNdY [06:20] mordocai: get it from Microsoft, and it should work fine in Wine === RaNdY is now known as Guest96489 [06:20] sebsebseb, Yeah, that's what i'm doing... i've only got a 756 or so kbs connection... but i'll let you know if it works. [06:20] sebsebseb: "fine in Wine" <-- sounds good :) [06:20] mo0nykit: hmm? [06:20] mo0nykit: is it gzip to apt-get? [06:21] darksmac: no.. try "man gunzip" [06:21] sebsebseb: has a nice rhyme to it. hehe [06:21] mordocai: Also I guess you could open the program in the online Google Docs, maybe Gnumeric can deal with it, and KOffice as well [06:21] mordocai: program I meant file [06:23] sherl0ck: I might not be able to help fully, but I'll just give you a lead. Try looking into /etc/network/interfaces file, using "less /etc/network/interfaces". Press Q to quit [06:23] sebsebseb: Yeah, i've used google docs before. But i'm trying to find a way to look at it when i'm offline too. At least, i don't think you can download google docs? [06:24] mordocai: ok try Gnumeric and KOffice as well, they might be able to open your file [06:24] sherl0ck: Is it okay to private message you? I think i can help you with your networkmanager problem. [06:24] sebsebseb: Thanks, i'll look into them. === Guest96489 is now known as RaNdY [06:25] when's the suspected date of Karmic's release ? === RaNdY is now known as Guest24533 === Guest24533 is now known as RaNdY [06:25] mordocai: no problem good luck [06:25] Name141: 29 October 2009 [06:25] Name141: October 29th [06:25] hi [06:26] OK [06:26] i have a problem with ubuntu installing new packages [06:26] E: ca-certificates-java: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 [06:26] is the error i get after trying to install new packages [06:27] darksmac: are you done unpacking the .diff? [06:27] mordocai, absolutely [06:27] i need to how to download flash player for Linux [06:28] mo0nykit: i cant seem to understand gunzip commands [06:28] darksmac: let me see.. [06:29] darksmac: "gunzip -c " [06:29] http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11998 , any idea if that bug would be fixed in Karmic ? [06:29] Or should I just prepare to go back to Hardy ? [06:29] mo0nykit: ok [06:29] hello === _RaNdY is now known as RaNdY [06:30] hello prasad [06:30] mo0nykit: ok thats done [06:30] Name141 you can install a new kernel before karmic === RaNdY is now known as Guest20487 [06:30] am a new ubuntu user. wanted to know how to enable the awesome cube ?? [06:30] 什么东西 [06:30] darksmac: okay now cd into the ~/linux/linux- directory [06:30] seidos: I am in XP right now,after Intrepid screwed it up. [06:30] 哦［ [06:31] seidos: And continued in Jaunty. [06:31] mo0nykit: inthere [06:31] seidos: I'm looking to go back though (When it is fixed and I can use my NIC) [06:31] darksmac: then issue this command "patch -p1 -i ../" That should patch your original source tree [06:32] Name141: ah, better to go back to heron I think [06:32] seidos: Oh. Perhaps ndiswrapper and windows NIC drivers ? [06:32] Jordan_U: i have just installed ccache. What do I do next? Can I do another "fakeroot make-kpkg" ? [06:33] Name141: it might not be a good idea to blame ubuntu, can't say if the hardware manufacturer followed standards. I just don't know enough to say with certainty [06:33] hi seidos. i need some suggestion [06:33] Name141: perhaps. I've used ndiswrapper for my wireless. [06:33] mo0nykit: ok it said only garbage was found in the patch input [06:33] hi seidos [06:33] ram1: I'll do my best to answer [06:33] seidos: I am using a wired connection [06:34] E: ca-certificates-java: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 [06:34] seidos: would that make a difference ? [06:34] Name141: I think it's weird that a wired connection isn't working. what have you tried to get it working? [06:34] darksmac: hmm.. is the .diff file located in ~/linux ? [06:34] is the error i am getting when installing new updates [06:34] seidos: Yes I did. [06:34] mo0nykit: yea [06:34] Name141: you did what? [06:34] it is a diff.gz just so were sure [06:34] ram1: never seen that error === _RaNdY is now known as RaNdY [06:35] darksmac: oh, you don't input the .diff.gz. Use the .diff [06:35] seidos: I removed the e1000e module, and modprobed it.. Then it (sometimes) would come back till the switch or the modem would reset, then I'd lose my connection till I removed and reprobed the module. It got tiresome and I went back to windows. === RaNdY is now known as Guest84082 [06:35] darksmac: actually after doing a gunzip on the .diff.gz file, you should be left with only a .diff file [06:35] ram1: I got an error with daemontools-run, couldn't figure out what the problem was, so I removed daemontools-run to see what would happen :/ [06:36] mo0nykitso i have to tar the diff.gz then gunzip the .diff [06:36] Name141: modem? [06:36] seidos: HN7000S [06:36] darksmac: no, you can't tar the .diff.gz. It will complain that it's not a TAR archive. Just do a gunzip on the .diff.gz [06:36] Name141: not familiar with that number [06:36] darksmac: gunzip -c [06:36] seidos: It's a Hughesnet Sat modem [06:37] Name141: i don't see the connection between your modem and ethernet adapter [06:37] just ran that no file created of changed [06:37] or* [06:37] seidos: The Modem goes in to the 4 port switch on the router instead of the Internet [06:37] (port) [06:37] darksmac: let me look it up again.. brb [06:37] seidos: then the rest of the computers are hooked up through the other 3 ports [06:38] mo0nykit: i appreciate this soo much sorry [06:38] Name141: you're talking about a cable modem? [06:38] guys am unable to access addons.mozilla.org , are you facing the same problem ? [06:38] seidos: I just said satelight [06:38] darksmac: no problem really.. that's what #ubuntu is for [06:38] hehe [06:39] prasad: works for me [06:39] darksmac: don't use -c [06:39] prasad: works for me too [06:39] mo0nykit: ok ill try [06:39] Name141: I don't have your equipment. [06:39] prince_jammys: ok ill try [06:39] seidos: OK. [06:39] Name141: when you say modem it could be a POTS modem, and not a cable modem. [06:39] prince_jammys: i'm sorry, i probably made a mistake [06:39] prince_jammys: ok that worked [06:39] Alright, I suppose I'm dropping a ridiculous help request out of the blue but the ps3 slim dropped otherOS support... how can I get Ubuntu onto it anyways? [06:39] now gunzip again [06:40] seidos: It is a Sat modem.. that's all I know [06:40] thanx maybe there is some problem on my side after all ! ....but am able to access all other sites, dunno what to do now ! === _RaNdY is now known as RaNdY [06:40] darksmac: do you see a .diff file? [06:40] seidos: two way [06:40] !ps3 [06:40] Aside from i386 and amd64 platforms, Ubuntu is also available for alternate platforms. Playstation 3 ( support in #ubuntu-ps3 ) Apple PowerPC ( support in #ubuntu-ppc ) [06:40] mo0nykit: yes i do [06:40] Name141: a satellite modem? like satellite tv, but for internet? === RaNdY is now known as Guest41324 === Guest41324 is now known as RaNdY [06:40] seidos: Correct [06:40] darksmac: okay that's good. now cd into ~/linux/linux- [06:40] mo0nykit: now do i patch or gunzip -c [06:40] seidos: On Ku band [06:41] Name141: cool! so you have a sat modem, connected to a router, and your pc is connected to the router? [06:41] mo0nykit: done [06:41] ? I've read about how to put it onto the regular ps3 but they removed that support for the slim version. [06:41] seidos: Sort of, I can't use it as a router. I am using it as a switch. [06:41] darksmac: no more gunzip. After cd-ing into ~/linux/linux-, do this "patch -p1 -i ../" [06:41] seidos: the modem itself has DHCP, etc [06:42] Name141: so the modem is being used as a switch. does the modem have a local and external ip address? [06:42] seidos: Yes. So does the router [06:43] Name141: now there's a router? [06:43] why? [06:43] :-| [06:43] mo0nykit: same only garbage found error [06:43] sebsebseb: Okay, gnumeric worked almost instantly... with some formatting problems. Excel viewer also was taking forever. [06:43] never mind [06:43] mordocai: formatting issue problems hmm [06:43] any idea why i'm getting: "open /dev/snd/seq failed: Permission denied" when running some custom made script that starts a new X server and runs a windows game through wine? [06:44] :-| [06:44] /dev/snd/seq is ALSA, what permissions should i need to be able to open it? [06:44] mordocai: well when it comes to those kind of propritary formats, the open source programs can't suppourt them 100% since they have to reverse enginer support [06:44] darksmac: hmm.. are you compiling a kernel (all the while I was thinking you're trying to compile a kernel, because that's what I'm also trying to do right now) [06:44] * seidos checks the status of his iso xfer from his other computer over his network [06:45] hey, it's done === _RaNdY is now known as RaNdY [06:45] mo0nykit: its actually libnl1-1.1-5 [06:45] sebsebseb: Yeah, i hope i can one day help... still a novice at programming though === RaNdY is now known as Guest66971 [06:46] mordocai: oh ok, as for the Microsoft Excel 2007 viewer in Wine, what happended there? [06:47] hey sebsebseb [06:47] sebsebseb: Well, i'm going to let it process for awhile... but it's just basically frozen. [06:47] darksmac: i think it has something to do with the .diff file being corrupted or something. I'm not sure if I can help you any further. I could point you to where I learned this. http://www.network-theory.co.uk/articles/patchintro.html [06:48] ok i fixed thing mentioned above; now i'm having a problem as to where sound is being outputed on my new X server, instead of going to the speakers, it seems to go to the integrated computer beep, any idea why and how to fix it?

I'm reading cathedral and the bazaar now... not by the same author, but i like it so far [06:52] Does anyone know another tool that I can use to rip FLAC (GUI or CLI)? [06:53] mo0nykit: your a genius actually it worked with the -p1 switch but im stupid and used *.dcs not *.diff [06:53] mo0nykit: im lucky i caught my stupid [06:53] mordocai: could change it for Excel documents and :) hopefuly, but maybe also a bit risky when it's your boss heh http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/no-word-attachments.html [06:53] darksmac: haha thats funny.

[06:54] all my googleing is comming up bad [06:54] mordocai: So he/they didn't provide you with a lap top with Windows and Office 2007 on it or something hmm, looks like you might just have to open it at work, good luck [06:54] darksmac: ath9k drivers... that i do not know already :) [06:54] mo0nykit: i got it saved as fav already [06:55] What's the command to format pendrive?

[06:56] monokrome: synaptic has some stuff might be ok [06:56] mordocai: Maybe one day you can convert him/her to Ubuntu or something hmm :) [06:56] mordocai: no problem [06:57] sebsebseb: Hopefully... i try to convert everyone i meet! lol [06:57] mordocai: ,but if you try KOffice that might display it better [06:57] darksmac: yeah that's right. You don't really have to know "more". I think it's okay to just give them a lead on where to look first :) In fact I've used Ubuntu for about 2 months and only on VirtualBox. [06:57] mordocai: KDE app though so it will put on KDE stuff, if it's not already on there [06:57] jamiewan: That one only does MP3 [06:57] sebsebseb: Does koffice support .docx file to read? [06:58] monokrome: yeah try this link http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/lofiversion/index.php/t66600.html [06:58] Aalinux: maybe not, but I think in that case, there's one in development that will [06:58] monokrome: sorry was distracted [06:58] i had to double click the drive so it would mount, then I could write the disc using nautilus-cd-bur [06:58] jamiewan: asunder in apt did it :) [06:59] nautilus-cd-burner too :) [06:59] Uhm I need some help with Xubuntu, can I ask here?

[07:01] Thanks. [07:01] seanshoots: np [07:02] just wants to say.. ubuntu works fine on an old dell laptop (latitude c810) .. web2.0 sites and flash lag sometimes but it`s ok for what i have to do with it .. nice and easy to use linux distribution ... i just wants to thanks everyone working on it :D === Guest60560 is now known as RaNdY [07:03] jmr_: maybe/probably none of them will read that [07:03] I have no sound in flash, anyone know how to fix that?

When I run a setup.exe file via Wine, it installs to other, but when I try to uninstall the icons stick there and take up space. So my question is: I saw this on a forum. If I delete the .desktop files located in usr/share... What else will it delete? [07:04] Help, please? [07:04] ? [07:04] jmr_: yeah I guess so [07:04] jmr_: in a way [07:04] jmr_: since giving back something [07:05] Lappy: the Wine menu icons are in .local or .config [07:06] is it not advisable to overwrite python 2.5 with 2.6 in hardy? [07:06]  [07:06] whatupderek: That's never advisable. :-) [07:06] didn't think so haha [07:07] But I need to remove it completely. I usedto have sberal gigs free, but after I installed those setup files it wastes space. Is there like a package that can clean it up completely? [07:07] Lappy: delete .wine from the home folder, and your Wine programs are gone [07:08] how can i load my soud driver Realtek ALC250 [07:08] i get this buzzing noise when i play music [07:09] took the update and the 9.04...is taking quite awhile had to gat on the g4 to be here...

[07:13] Anyone got sound support in flash 10? [07:13] So sebsebseb: I'm on Xubuntu. Will there be a .wine folder in my home folder? [07:13] sebsebseb: well was on 810 for 4 days now an doing the 904 update [07:13] Lappy: should be yeah [07:13] ext4 has been working pretty well for me on 9.04 [07:13] Okay [07:13] as we speak doing it [07:13] korin43: same here [07:13] I'll take a look see at it tommorow [07:13] Balsaq: ok if you wan speed you need Ext4, but 9.04 and Ext4 hmm [07:13] i like 810 just wondering if 904 will slow me down [07:14] Balsaq: it will be very similar speedwise [07:14] ok, what is the upgrade for? [07:14] Balsaq: unless Ext4 is done on / ,but that's not fully stable in 9.04, 9.10 it will be fine [07:15] Balsaq: little features that are hardly worth it, for people that are going from 8.10, unless it fixes some hardware issue [07:15] i'm trying to add some startup commands to rc.local, anyone willing to private message me and tell me what i'm doing wrong? === Lappy_ is now known as Lappy [07:15] sebsebseb: what is ext4? === jjjooofffooo is now known as jofo [07:15] Balsaq: the file system [07:15] !ext3 | Balsaq [07:15] Balsaq: ext3 is the default filesystem on Ubuntu, and the most popular on Linux.

The next LTS release is scheduled to be 10.04 [07:18] now that i have this i don't know why i would ever want windows [07:18] привет [07:18] Balsaq: it's not time yet, but when it is, if people upgrade an Ext3 9.04 install to 9.10, no they won't get Ext4, they have to do an Ext3 to Ext4 conversion or do a clean install of Ubuntu [07:18] hi guys... i have a custom 2.6.31 kernel and i installed b43 Broadcom BC4312 driver - the wireless connection starts to connect but is never able to associate with my WPA2 router - how do i debug this ? [07:19] ; [07:19] i'm sticking with reiserfs [07:19] ver irc.freenode.net [07:19] Balsaq: 10 seconds or so boot up. really quick shut down as well, and the disk checking after 23 boots, done in seconds, is that worth it? I think so [07:19] sebsebseb: but, format in the ext4, i am particioned in the ext4 and have problems with particions [07:19] Does anyone know where to configure sound for flash in ubuntu? [07:19] reiserfs is pretty much dead end now. [07:20] trinium: if you have done Ext4 on 9.04, you might get issues yes, since it's not properly stable in 9.04, because of the kernel they have and that [07:20] sprink - I don't know of any - -I've never found it - but i'd like to know myself... [07:20] sebsebseb: i am install ext4 in jaunty, new problems in karmic [07:20] sebsebseb : ext4 is particion default of the karmic [07:20] trinium: yes, but not for upgrades [07:21] trinium: unless they already did Ext4 of course [07:21] it took me hours to get sound working, finally got it working, was so happy, but that was quickly demolished when it didn't work in any browsers [07:21] sebsebseb: re format in the ext4 and not problems [07:22] trinium: yep [07:22] Good day everyone , On a usb flash disk ,othere is one ext3 partition (primiry) that ubuntu is insalled on it and an extented partition that includes a ntfs partition .but while connecting usb flash to windows xp it gives eror and wants to fromat flash .how to fix that ?

[07:27] trinium: how can i configure it if i cant see anything [07:28] Balsaq: I've tried KDE before but it was a long time ago, so I thought I'd give it a go, in a dual-window manager kind of fashion. I set gdm as my main window manager but still with the option of using kdm if I wish. Now I can't even log in. I'm on a different PC right now just to get help so I can use my PC again [07:28] ruby_on_tails: before the final/releasecandidate things might go pretty wrong [07:28] optikkore: please wait me, i all pass a link [07:28] ruby_on_tails: well things have already gone wrong here and there [07:28] trinium: ok [07:28] Does anyone here know how to arrange text alphabeticaly ascending or descending in open office writer [07:28] can i just walk away from my computer with 2 hours remaining on my upgrade (904)?

I ran "sudo apt-get install wicd" just for laughs and network-manager was replaced by wicd, but I can't get online with wicd using my 3G (wireless) modem. So I am getting online using the livecd. How can I reinstall network-manager or use wicd to get online? [07:30] Bluey: uh oh...upgrading canhurt? [07:30] Balsaq: Thanks anyway...

[07:34] How can I reinstall network-manager without an internet connection? [07:35] or with an internet connection but from livecd [07:35] sebsebseb: well I am using a Windows box at the moment because I decided to install kubuntu-desktop dummy package on my existing Ubuntu install and now when I boot up the laptop it comes to the login screen and just says "Authentication Failed" and no matter how many times I click OK it just keeps appearing. Any ideas? [07:35] gazza: add the cd to your software sources [07:35] or manually copy over the deb file from the cd [07:35] it is in there [07:35] and do dpkg [07:35] gazza, apt-get install network-manager [07:36] BonezAU: dummy package? [07:36] right... the cd is int he /etc/apt/sources.list [07:36] I think I had a problem with it [07:36] gazza, apt-get update [07:37] gazza, the package is " network-manager-gnome" [07:37] I tried apt-get install network-manager from my install [07:37] yeah I tried that too [07:37] gazza, or install by synaptic [07:38] hmmm I checked sources.list... cd is not commented out [07:38] gazza, install network manager or wicd [07:38] and I added the cd with synaptic sources [07:38] and I tried to install... but it didn't work [07:38] When booting my computer displays on the virtual console 1 only about 25 lines of text. How can I make it more verbose of boot messages? [07:39] gazza, what is your problem, install or the icon??

[07:46] sixnonep, yes flash install in the 32 bit [07:46] sixnonep, please wait [07:46] Blackice115: The last word on that apt-get line is the package you need to install.

As I understood it, I would be able to restore the drive image with the command "cat x* | sudo dd of=/dev/sda3". However something I just read claimed that if sda3 doesn't exist, dd will start at the beginning of the disk, and create it. Start at the beginning of the disk?

(noob here. ^_^) [07:54] najjems: /join ##c [07:54] Tmi: ok thank you [07:55] Logomachist: You have to create a partition that is the same size or larger than the original [07:55] geirha: But how can I figure out what size to create? [07:55] prince_jammys: along with make? [07:55] geirha: I do not recall the original partition size. [07:56] Logomachist: The image you've made, did you make if from one partition or the whole drive? [07:56] najjems: no, i mean join the C irc channel. This isn't a programming channel. [07:56] geirha: One partition. [07:56] ahh ok im an idiot.... the output is from apt-get update! doh [07:56] sorry [07:56] Logomachist: Look at its filesize (ls -l) then. Then new partition must be able to contain that size [07:56] oh I see. (i was confused. :P) [07:58] how do i print details about a openssl certificate?

As I understood it, I could use the command "cat x* | sudo dd of=/dev/sda3", where the files xaa, xab, ect... are the files the image is spanned across and /dev/sda3 is the partition to hold the data. Once that is created I should be able to mount it as normally.

[08:25] dehqan: It's not neccessary in Linux. gparted will treat any hard drive exactly the same way (including USB drives) [08:26] xcan updates come in yesterday and then be installed the next day without going back on the internet?

[08:27] prince_jammys>> nope [08:28] dehqan: The only reason to flip the removable media bit is to make it so you can have multiple partitions. Ubuntu will always detect multiple partitions either way, and qparted will let you set up multiple partitions either way (so there's no reason to flip the removable media bit in linux) [08:28] hey can anybody help me out ,how can I add wildcard DNS [08:28] spaceBARbarian: does 'pgrep vlc' output anything?

The next LTS release is scheduled to be 10.04 [08:53] tried - also nothing happens - posible that the boot cd I created is a bummer - is there a means of thesting it ? please [08:53] jamiewan: it's LTS, so we still support it in-place.

[09:02] Jordan_U, Thanks [09:02] XooR: np [09:03] prince_jammys>> yeah i dont know whats going on : ( [09:03] prince_jammys>> should i just go reomove these packages manually ? [09:03] spaceBARbarian: I'd be tempted to force the removal. dpkg -L will also show you the files installed originally, so you can check out a bit what's going on. [09:04] dpkg -L vlc [09:04] it seems all the files are there, but empty.

[09:05] join #android-root [09:06] Jordan_U>> yeah ext4, i am not sure what to do with dpkg [09:07] dpkg -L vlc was just for you to see the files installed, and whether they're all empty [09:07] spaceBARbarian: Did you lose power or force shut down recently?

[09:12] sudo: nautilus: command not found [09:12] Aalinux [09:12] crunchbang: Hello crunchbang the future of ubuntu 9.04 is your problem solved? [09:12] crunchbang: Have you installed nautilus? [09:12] spaceBARbarian: Yes, use debsums, also use sysrq next time ( and tell your friend to as well ) [09:13] crunchbang: Run dpkg -l | grep nautilus [09:13] !sysrq | spaceBARbarian [09:13] spaceBARbarian: In an emergency, you may be able to shutdown cleanly and reboot by holding down Alt+PrintScreen and typing, in succession, R, E, I, S, U and B. For an explanation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key [09:13] how can I check if an application is using port 5064?

[09:15] crunchbang: trys pcmanfm [09:15] there is prolly no #cruchbag [09:15] sorry [09:15] my bad [09:15] ok thanks KoolD [09:15] crunchbang: Is there any channel for crunchbang ? [09:15] crunchbang: Have you run dolphin [09:15] ? [09:15] there is a #crunchbang [09:16] maybe they named the channel something cute like #!

[09:16] spaceBARbarian: "debsums -c" should give you a list of all of the packages you need to reinstall, unfortunately it will also give a *lot* of false positives. I'm looking for something better [09:16] crunchbang: Join #crunchbang [09:16] does anyone know of a gui based library application for Videos ? [09:17] crunchbang: /join #crunchbang [09:17] windows media player [09:17] very droll [09:17] crunchbang: You are the future of ubuntu 9.04. bang->>crunch-->bang-->> [09:18] wow! alot of people there. i wonder why #ubuntu is the default channel for crunchband. btw i am running it from a usb. its running flawlessly [09:18] Aalinux, why do you say such words? [09:18] i think linux mint is mo better for a casual usr [09:18] crunchbang: Was it pcmanfm or dolphin ? [09:19] crunchbang: pcmanfm ? [09:19] pcmanfm... i think it is openbox... [09:19] crunchbang: So you ran gksudo pcmanfm , didn't you? [09:20] Morning [09:20] Night [09:21] I have a problem with my other ubuntu, booted up ok, but seems to have no net access, in network moniter it says device is unmanaged [09:21] sudo pcmanfm... [09:22] command not found [09:22] ha [09:22] when I boot up, it says "cpufreq: No nForce2 chipset" before continuing to ubuntu. How do I fix that? [09:22] Aalinux, i was going to fix my grub/boot menu.lst but i don't have sufficient prvlges. [09:22] i think i can just untick vista from gparted [09:23] crunchbang: then you need to sudo an editor, not the file manager. [09:23] sudo WhateverYourEditorIs /boot/grub/menu.lst [09:23] HOw do I run a command each time I log into gnome/xfce? [09:23] crunchbang: sudo vim /boot/grub/menu.lst [09:23] .xsesion and .xinitrc does not seem to work [09:24] bear in mind in this case I am running xfce4 [09:24] !startup | jsoft [09:24] jsoft: To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab.

[09:28] hi there. any ideas where I can go for support with ubuntu, got a problem with something, asked in here before, and on the support forums, no replies in weeks so am running out of ideas. [09:29] prince_jammys: How do i get dropped to a shell [09:29] AdvoWork: just ask the question. [09:29] AdvoWork: you ask here. if no-one answers, it's most likely that no-one knew the answer. [09:29] ummm ok, if i cant fix, reinstall time [09:30] AdvoWork: it's also possible that it's a problem that requires that you work through it, not a quick-solve [09:30] jony123: ctrl-alt-F1 will give you a VT login. ctrl-alt-F7 to come back to X. is that what you're asking? [09:30] hello is there a grapical client for some file dublicate finder? [09:31] G'Day again Folks, - is Jordan_U still on air ? [09:32] Jordan_U: 03:31 < pcbugfixer> G'Day again Folks, - is Jordan_U still on air ? [09:32] Basically, using ubuntu, we use terminal server client to connect to a vista pc. This works fine, but you know when you hold shift down and it opens things in new windows, or highlights everything, now and again it does that, if fixes quickly but randomly does it. Ive identified it to be only happening when using terminal services client, its not the keyboard,mouse,stickykeys etc etc. any ideas please? [09:33] umm cant even detect my router panel settings via ip on that box, how the hell cound that happen, box was ok last night [09:33] AdvoWork: sounds like a translation problem occurring between different GUI interfaces. [09:33] cant even see localhost [09:33] Gnea, any idea how to identify that? [09:34] AdvoWork: using tsclient? [09:34] AdvoWork: have you tried changing any of the settings on the client? [09:34] Gnea, changed a few settings yeah, like RDP to RDP5, unsure what else to try [09:35] doesnt connect via ip, do its not dns [09:36] some service in ubuntu has stuffed up, maybe ufw [09:36] AdvoWork: yeah, RDP5 sounds like it would work... have you tried rdesktop?

[09:38] AdvoWork: no, commandline only [09:38] umm well i dont understand the problem, since it all looks ok, and i cant post anything on the boards about this problem since I do not know why this is happening, no internet connection isnt a common problem [09:39] AdvoWork: it could be scripted, though [09:39] this is on the same router [09:40] X-Seti: wired or wireless? [09:40] hi [09:40] Gnea, Wired [09:40] X-Seti: make/model of the router? [09:40] netgear [09:41] yeah but what's the model?

[09:42] doesnt say on the router since its sky branded, dg834gt [09:42] Jordan_U: I'm curious about what you found. [09:43] is from the interface panel [09:43] prince_jammys: WIth spaceBARbarian ? [09:43] Jordan_U: yes [09:43] i have other distro installs on that box with the non working net, 32 bit and 64 bit ubuntus [09:43] I can connect to my machine via XRDP, but when I log into Gnome my Deskbar keeps flickering as if it would be starting all over again and again, I can't even select an item from the startmenu [09:43] its the 64 bit giving the issue? [09:43] is there a program (CLI or GUI) that tells which application is using the network to download or upload [09:44] prince_jammys: His friend force powered down the machine which with ext4 can cause files that are being overwritten to be zeroed out === yofel_ is now known as yofel === MadMax is now known as MaxSid [09:44] Jordan_U: I saw that part. You said you were looking for a means to detect the empty files or something like that. [09:44] Jordan_U>> just got back, saw your last message, ill do this later [09:45] spaceBARbarian: Well I have a way of detecting the files without false positives now [09:45] is it the sudo apt-get install debsums && sudo debsums_init command ? [09:46] Gnea, i will try that. only problem now is, any idea how I can switch back to ubuntu with key combination or similar? at the moment in tsclient i think its ctrl alt enter then < right arrow. [09:46] spaceBARbarian: No, that just prepares the checksums [09:46] arhh i think i found the problem [09:47] moin [09:47] spaceBARbarian: Then you need to check if the files match the checksums [09:47] box name is the same as another comp on the network, i wonder [09:48] /join #remote-exploit [09:48] spaceBARbarian: which you should be able to do by running this ( after the debsums_init ): sudo bash -c 'debsums -c | { while read file; do if [[ ! -s "$file" ]]; then echo "$file" ; fi; done; }' [09:48] Jordan_U>> that looks like too much work for how little i use ubuntu :P [09:48] any idea concerning my problem with XRDP ??? [09:49] spaceBARbarian: Well I'm curious if it works :) [09:49] haha find another gineua pig [09:49] I know this isn't strictly about ubuntu, but could somebody please direct me to where I could ask a question about linking servers for parallel computing?

[09:50] can anybody tell me how to make my headphones play sound [09:50] my headphones and speakers are connected to the green jacks, on the front and back of my pc [09:50] prince_jammys: That finds all the files that have a different md5sum than the files provided in the packages, then checks those files to see if they are zero length [09:50] Gnea, think ive solved it, last problem though, can you auto get it to remember the password? [09:50] gotcha. [09:50] Anthrax: what is the OS version? [09:51] ubuntu 8.10 [09:51] Jordan_U: well, i don't see why it wouldn't work, if debsums -c outputs the right thing.

ActionParsnip: I'm doing a manual install coz' I already have C:and D: partitioned and installing ubuntu on D: [12:12] lizzzy: those definitions mean nothing to linux [12:13] Hmm.. ok [12:13] lizzzy: linux sees partitons, not drive letters [12:13] coofish: please, it's 2009, i'm not seriously going to use a commandline mixer [12:13] unimatrix: gnome-volume-manager [12:13] lizzzy: if you are using wubi then you will make an image oon the partition of your choice [12:13] .net [12:13] haha,always stick to cmd [12:14] lizzzy: if D: as you call it is a second physical drive you can use a proper install and resize / wipe the drive clean to be 100% ubuntu [12:14] lizzzy: wiping it will loose all data on the disks partitions [12:14] just intresting, in WinXP on my school i dont have a chance downloading anything faster than ~2000 kb/ps, but with ubuntu on the exact same pc, i get ~4000 kb/ps :s [12:14] unimatrix: type gnome-volume-control in the terminal [12:14] unimatrix: pavucontrol :) [12:15] Yeah... so, i have sda split into sda1(C:) and sda2(D:) and wanna install ubuntu on sda2, do I create a sda3(say g: or something) on windows and then assign sda3 as swap space. [12:15] hanshenrik,really? Biii gates is crying [12:15] lizzzy: you can resize ntfs to make room for the partitions for Ubuntu, or you can delete a partition to make space [12:15] hi [12:15] murlidhar: or i could just click "Sound Preferences" on the volume icon :P [12:15] coofish: yeah guess so :p [12:16] I need to upgrade my lirc to 0.8.6 anyone point me in the right direction [12:16] lizzzy: anoter way is to use wubi to install Ubuntu into the NTFS partitions and you dont have to mess with any partitions [12:16] Hey, if I download using ubuntu transmission bit torrent client, do I auto upload? [12:16] unimatrix: yes u can ...it is the same thing [12:16] hanshenrik :D [12:16] i'm doing something wrong http://paste.ubuntu.com/280266/ following this to get lifecam vx-1000 working http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6532167&postcount=2 [12:16] hipitihop, add the source site to your software sources , get the key then in terminal run sudo apt-get update then sudo apt-get upgrade. [12:17] what am i doing wrong? [12:17] when i click open folder option in tramission.... gnome-open starts up instead of my file-manager ....why ? do i have to symlink something ? [12:17] murlidhar: set nautilus as your default file manager [12:17] Dhuski: thanks, thanks done so as per here http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1243179.html however upgrade says lirc kept back [12:17] popey: one last thing, how do i select a screen area in rmd? i'd prefer a gui option [12:17] ActionParsnip: how ? [12:17] wubi allows only 15GB right? I'll be using ubuntu as my primary OS (dual-booted with windows) from now on, so installing it on D: (which is like 184 GB). Also, how much of swap space is required for 184GB? [12:18] lizzzy: no 30gb is the max [12:18] lizzzy: swap space has nothing to do with your hard drive space [12:18] unimatrix: you can specify it with the --width, --height and -x and -y parameters [12:18] !swap > lizzzy [12:18] lizzzy, please see my private message [12:18] http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-swap-space.html lizzzy [12:19] popey: oh dear [12:19] I'm trying to upgrade lirc to 0.8.6 and apt-get upgrade says lirc is kept back [12:19] murlidhar: sudo apt-get install --reinstall nautilus [12:19] ActionParsnip: i tried that already [12:20] murlidhar: i believe part of its postinst is to set itself as file manager [12:20] ActionParsnip: wut [12:20] that's just wrong [12:20] DigitalKiwi: ? [12:20] in dosbox how do you navigate from the "Z" drive to the drive where old dos games are stored ? its telling me "C" doesnt exist and I should mount it when I do a cd C:\ etc [12:20] DigitalKiwi: i remember seeing it a bit ago [12:21] iwobbles: easiest way is to run: dosbox /path/to/play.exe [12:21] installing a package of anything should not make itself the default imo :/ [12:21] iwobbles: the C: will then be setup, obviously change the .exe path and name as needed [12:21] guess ubuntu devs disagree, no surprise there though [12:21] lizzzy: why not use a real install instead of wubi if you intend to use ubuntu as your primary OS by the way? [12:21] DigitalKiwi: +1 but hey its easy for noobs [12:21] i also hate that nautilus tries to change my wallpaper grr [12:22] Ok, so yeah.. since it is 184gb, I'll allocate 4gig to swap space and install ubuntu on the 180 gb free space [12:22] i think it's possible to change that but i can't remembember/be arsed to mess with [12:22] DigitalKiwi: pass --no-desktop or set the corresponding gconf key [12:22] anyone know how to write to file... like cp ... ... and write the progress to a file... i'm googleing - asking all the wrong questions :-\ [12:23] how do I find out why a package is kept back ? [12:23] geekbuntu: rsync [12:23] what do you mean when u say "keep back"? [12:23] jrib: guess i'm gonna have to suck it up and do rsync - has been 6 years just don't remember much aobut it - and i used it with an awk script as i remember [12:24] popey: eh i give up, rmd is useless, even when it does work it uses waaay too much CPU [12:24] geekbuntu: just use rsync --progress in place of cp for simple stuff [12:24] jrib: That's what I did. I tried to do a manual install and since I have sda1 and sda2 partitioned already, i tried to install ubuntu on sda2. (I can't do a full install of ubuntu coz' ppl at work still use windows, although I wish I could) [12:24] Well, file -i filename will give me the encoding, I think. But I have to some way change the encoding of Terminal before I run some commands on the text. How do I automatically set the Temrinal encoding depending of the result in file -i? [12:24] lizzzy: but you mentioned wubi [12:24] coofish: I am doing a apt-get upgrade and it says "packages have been kept back: lirc" [12:25] i think someone else mentioned wubi first [12:25] hello I have bought a Logitech QuickCam Deluxe for Notebooks and I while Cheese and Skype recognise it I am not able to adjust it's focusing. As a result I have crystal-clear image of something that is 2cm away from the lenses but awfully blurry when I sit in a normal distance. Can anyone help me to adjust it? [12:25] ah [12:25] lizzt,follow ur boss,so M$ is ur way [12:25] 06:16 < ActionParsnip> lizzzy: anoter way is to use wubi to install Ubuntu into the NTFS partitions [12:25] and you dont have to mess with any partitions [12:25] (Oh I am using Hardy Heron 8.04 2.6.24-24-generic [12:25] ) [12:26] lizzzy: never mind then [12:26] DigitalKiwi: thanks [12:26] I'm not using wubi. (coz' wubi has 15 GB /30 GB (as switchgirl1) as max and I'm installing ubuntu on a 180GB partition). [12:26] lizzzy: wise, wubi messed up my EEEPC 701 boot loader [12:27] kalakouentin: I just googled the camera... found an article on tomsguide.com that says it "only has a manual focus on the right hand side" [12:27] hey guys does anyone know of any movie screenshot software that will work on ubuntu? you know like the media player classic screens you can do in windows http://i27.tinypic.com/or7crp.jpg [12:27] lizzy,download img file and burn cd...or google grub4dos hard disk install ubuntu" [12:28] wubi sucks! [12:28] Exile: so you want to take a series of snaps from a video and make a collection? [12:28] Hmm... so this is what I'm gonna do: shrink the 184 gb partition to 180 gb and assign the unallocated 4gb space as swap space. [12:28] yeah just as a quality sample [12:29] you can do this in windows with media player classic using one click [12:29] I'm not sure why one requires a swap space, coz' I'm pretty sure I won't run out of physical memory space. [12:29] is there something similar for ubuntu? [12:29] how do I tell why apt-get upgrade keeps a package back ? [12:29] Exile, mplayer can do it [12:29] Exile: i think ive seen where you can make mplayer, or ffmpeg (or both) take frames... but thats about all i know of. not seen anything to order them in a nice neat layout [12:29] kool I'll give it a go [12:29] thats better than nothing [12:30] I just cant be assed with manually taking screenshots! [12:30] vlc can take screenshots [12:30] Problems here, can't upload stuff. At all. Use VPN to connect to the network, to be more precise, KVPNC.

[12:34] orattue: No, yes, use subkeys.pgp.net [12:34] Dr_Willis i know the wire works cuz i used it on windows before so [12:35] google: no idea then. check the forums perhaps.

It has the usual play, stop, next track, previous and volume control buttons. The volume control works properly but I need to map the other buttons. It is a Targus AMR01EU. I have googled the phrase "ubuntu wireless usb remote control map buttons" but no luck so far. Can anyone point me in the right direction to find some information about this please? [12:38] bullgard4,modify ur xorg.conf ..if not work out,then change driver [12:40] JonathanEllis,google lirc config [12:40] coofish: I believe that modifying xorg.conf will not change the frame buffer. [12:40] coofish: Thanks but it is radio, not infra-red [12:41] see relevant config files . [12:41] u can figure it out.. [12:41] imo [12:42] how can one tell why a given package is kept back by apt-get upgrade ? [12:42] jrib: coofish: should rsyn just be sitting on the screen saying "sending incremental file list" for a long time? it's 27g... ubuntu artcle says this guy backs up his 20-30gig drive in a few mins [12:42] someone who can help me with my geforce 9800 gt tv out ?

[12:45] I am having serious problems with Evolution! All of a sudden it keeps asking me to enter the password for the default keyring! What default keyring! I never set anything up like that! What is going on? [12:45] Is there an equivalent to lirc for wireless usb remote controls that use radio instead of infra-red? [12:45] Fly-Man-: yes, apparently it has been having problems for past week, substitute 'pool.sks-keyservers.net' [12:45] The biggest problem for ubuntu is that many people already studied red hat. I considerred again and again if I should suggest our team to use ubuntu. But finally I decided to give up. [12:46] luist: Ask in #compiz [12:46] hi everybody! I have a small network running ubuntu .... on all the different laptops we have installed skype .... I was wondering if there was any setup I could implement to stop the computers on the network becoming skype supernodes .... === Loft is now known as Guest8044 [12:47] Option "TVStandard" "PAL-B" ?????? [12:47] I am having serious problems with Evolution! All of a sudden it keeps asking me to enter the password for the default keyring! What default keyring! I never set anything up like that! What is going on? [12:47] Fly-Man-: did that work for you ? [12:47] JonathanEllis, is this bluetooth? [12:47] Yes [12:47] ablmf: that's not the biggest problem >.> [12:47] but this is a installation script that depends on it [12:47] so I think it's better to add the pool to the script ? [12:47] list [12:47] i'm not even sure i'd consider that much of a problem for ubuntu per se [12:47] Fly-Man-: that would be my guess [12:48] okay [12:48] Hello folks. I want to apply the Humanity theme I downloaded but I don't know how.. There were no instructions on gnome-art where I found it but they mentioned something about eGKT. Could someone help me? I couldn't find any package on synaptic.. [12:48] DigitalKiwi: So what is the biggest in your opinion? [12:49] Take0n, did you drag tar.gz to theme manager? got a link to the theme? [12:49] http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Humanity?content=112505 [12:49] hipitihop: Thank you, I will make a bug for the Launchpad ppl [12:49] there is the link bazhang [12:49] so they can edit their rocketfuel setup page [12:49] ablmf: my opinion on ubuntus problems is not for an ubuntu channel [12:49] I am running Ubuntu Jaunty. Every now and then, while working on my desktop with gnome-terminal and firefox, all windows get redrawn a few times when I switch between applications. Most of the times I can continue working after this, but sometimes I lose all input. My mousecursor still moves, I can still see the applications running but my input no longer reaches any X application. Does anybody have an idea how to debug this issue? [12:49] Take0n: i find it easier to use the 'gnome-art' tool to dowload/install theme/parts [12:50] Take0n: or drag/drop the downloaded stuff on to the 'theme settings' tool when its open. it often will install things that way [12:50] bazhang: No its not bluetooth it has a little usb radio receiver. I guess it works similar to a wireless mouse or keyboard. Manufacturers details of the device are here http://www.targus.com/uk/product_details.asp?sku=AMR01EU. Of course, like always they only cater for windows :-(. The volume control buttons work correctly but I need to map the other buttons. [12:50] Dr_Willis, I tried but as it was downloading themes it just closed.. it did it two times so I decided to install it manually [12:50] I will try drag n drop [12:50] brb [12:50] can i set nautilus in a way to have samba shares as destinations of saves? [12:51] krabador: mounted samba shares should be in the users .gvfs/WhATEVER dir.. [12:51] Take0n, the drag and drop works, but seems to be missing the icon theme set [12:51] how do i view the desktop cube isometrically? [12:51] I tried to ran gnome art once again but it keeps closing [12:51] Dr_Willis: oh, great... [12:51] it like flashes [12:51] run* [12:51] JonathanEllis, ah okay, just reading a blog post about someone installing Boxee and using ps3 remote to control it [12:52] bazhang: Have you got the link? [12:52] is here any body can tell me the difference amount openbox blackbox and fluxbox? [12:52] and their advantage and disadvantage? [12:52] openbox uses an xml config, fluxbox doesn't, blackbox was first, openbox is imo the best floating wm [12:53] assassin, that is beyond the scope of this channel, you install them and try them out [12:53] is fluxbox still being maintained?

[13:12] actually isn't it more like 3.2? which for most people would be 3.5 [13:12] talin :then 32bit [13:12] google: you said how do you get to it, not how do you edit it :-) [13:12] DigitalKiwi: there will always be nay sayers [13:12] DigitalKiwi: just ignore them, if we all ignore them they will shuffle away [13:13] google: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [13:13] ahem, i'm actually one of them but meh ;) [13:13] hipitihop ty [13:13] ActionParsnip1 : +1 [13:14] Is there a version of adblock that does not crash firefox-3.5 from Jaunty? [13:14] hipitihop do u know how to change tvoutput to bpal ? [13:14] DigitalKiwi: there are reasons, you just find most of them are written by windows using linux haters who list rather weak arguments against using it rather than something intelligent [13:14] What would be the best memory to give to each VM for Ubuntu, Kubuntu & Xubuntu 9.04? 512? [13:14] google: sorry no [13:14] Adblock is the only reason I use Firefox. Other browsers that can block ads are welcome too. [13:14] ok [13:14] pozic: adblockplus i think [13:14] ActionParsnip1: I meant that one, sorry. [13:15] hello, im having an issue with watching channels on MythTV. When i try to play a channel it comes up with 2 split screen views of the same window. Any ideas please? [13:15] pozic: thats all i got, i dont use firefox [13:15] pozic: could try in #firefox [13:16] ActionParsnip1: so, you watch ads? [13:16] could anyone please tell me why nothing will work on Adobe flash player ever since I installed it? Video works but no sound. Tried dozens of pages. [13:16] someone knows how to change tvoutput to B-pal ? [13:16] pozic: when? [13:16] is there a solution or work around? [13:16] pozic: not aware of any ads really [13:16] assinine: are you running 64bit ubuntu? [13:16] ActionParsnip1: no [13:17] someone knows how to change tvoutput to B-pal ? [13:17] assinine: unfortunately there are lots of fixes for no sound in flash [13:17] ActionParsnip1: why is that unfortunate? [13:18] assinine: as its really hard to give one answer [13:18] !dlna [13:18] Sorry, I don't know anything about dlna [13:18] assinine: its not just one possible thing theres many [13:18] google: try adding: Option "TVStandard" "PAL-B" [13:18] google: considering your nick you arent using it much ;) [13:19] google: looks like you at it to the screen section relating to the TV [13:20] google: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=123014 [13:20] ActionParsnip1: is there a way to install an alternative flash player? [13:20] assinine: you can use gnash or swfplayer [13:21] assinine: have you tried downloading the tar.gz file and putting the .so in ~/.mozilla/plugins [13:21] hi, I get stuck at "cannot calculate the upgrade" on my ubuntu 8.04 laptop. How can I get to the root of the problem? [13:21] assinine: im guessing you use firefox like everyone else [13:21] what's the best choice for supporting .7z archives in ubuntu? some use a program called 7z, some use a program called p7zip. what's the best? [13:21] (of course, I'm trying to upgrade to version 8.10) [13:21] ActionParsnip1: yes [13:21] !7zip | JohannesSM64 [13:21] JohannesSM64: Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with file-roller (GNOME) or Ark (KDE) - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression [13:21] Hey, so I successfully installed ubuntu as an ext2 file system. Is this right or should I reinstall it on a ext3 journaling file system? === myth is now known as bsusa [13:21] ActionParsnip1: "everyone else?" [13:22] ActionParsnip1 were do i add that line then ? [13:22] lizzzy: ext2 is ext3 without journal, ext2 is great on flash based storage to reduce wear [13:22] ActionParsnip1: those that are on almost every website? ;) [13:22] ActionParsnip1 this line Option "TVStandard" "PAL-B" [13:22] google: read the link i gave [13:22] and for /boot! [13:22] ActionParsnip1 ok ty [13:22] Hmm.. so ext2 is ok too? [13:23] I keep getting Segmentation faults every time I run smbmount. Is there a way to "trace" faults like this on linux? Not sure what to do to fix this [13:23] can't you convert ext2 to ext3 in place? [13:23] pozic: not seen any, maybe we look at different stuff, if a flash vid has an ad, i just drag the slider to near then end and it ends [13:23] DigitalKiwi: sure [13:23] lizzzy: none of us would recommend ext2 for a normal hard drive for a primary partition [13:23] well i would hope none of us would [13:23] * DigitalKiwi would be very disappointed in anyone who did [13:24] Damn.... so i reinstall it now? or is there a way to change it to ext3? [13:24] ActionParsnip1: what is the package name of SWF Player? [13:24] DigitalKiwi: sudo umount /dev/sda1; sudo tune2fs -j /dev/sda1 would do it on /dev/sda1, /etc/fstab will need updating too [13:24] ah, it seems the program the p7zip package installs is called 7z [13:24] !find swf [13:24] Found: librfxswf-dev, libswf-perl, libswfdec-0.6-90, libswfdec-0.6-90-dbg, libswfdec-0.6-dev (and 12 others) [13:24] lizzzy: man tune2fs (-j ) [13:24] ActionParsnip1 it dident help me.. nothing happens wen i save it [13:24] http://www.troubleshooters.com/linux/ext2toext3.htm [13:24] does anyone here have experience using the Python bindings for OpenSceneGraph under Ubuntu? [13:24] assinine: apt-cache searc h swf player [13:25] lizzzy: ^ [13:25] or similiar [13:25] google: it wont until you restart X with alt+printscrn+k [13:26] tune2fs is to add an ext3, but does it convert an existing ext2 (on which i've installed ubuntu) to an ext3? [13:26] lizzzy: the journal is the only difference [13:27] lizzzy: it adds the journal, so: yes [13:27] ActionParsnip1 dident work [13:27] google: every time you edit the file you have to do that so it rereads the file [13:27] ActionParsnip1 it just restarted and now my tv has bluescreen [13:27] hello friends [13:27] google: you have got the idea, you will need to trawl the web for guides andsample xorg.confs [13:27] uUBUNTU [13:27] LOL [13:27] as [13:27] s [13:27] s [13:27] thegod: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [13:28] ActionParsnip1 have done that but cant find one that works [13:28] how can I tell why apt-get upgrade lists a particular package as kept back ? [13:29] hipitihop: it is in the repo but has unmet dependancies so its held back until the dep is ready [13:29] hipitihop: or things of that nature [13:30] ActionParsnip1: so how can I see what the unmet stuff is so I can resolve it ? [13:30] hi everybody [13:31] hipitihop: you'll have to check the packages site and check its deps then see what you have installed and compare [13:31] hi [13:33] ActionParsnip1: thanks, looking up apt how-to to see if it will help the process [13:34] how do you clean swap space? [13:34] reboot? [13:35] gOLDfeesh: no need, it will increase use and decrease use as needed [13:35] gOLDfeesh: if you close all apps it will be empty, or if you reduce ram usage to less than your physical ram [13:36] running on WinXP (with following drivers), my WLAN card works from much longer away from the gateway than on ubuntu... what do? :( [13:36] (but else, it works great on ubuntu too..) [13:37] Anyone help me? [13:37] hanshenrik: what is the output of: sudo lshw -C network | grep product [13:37] what? [13:37] FGLRX is making me crazy. [13:37] I originally used [13:38] 8.660 ( 9.10 in the launchpad ) [13:38] and? [13:38] But 8.660 is a unstable one. [13:38] So I removed it [13:38] ActionParsnip1: root@hanshenrik-laptop:/home/hanshenrik# sudo lshw -C network | grep product [13:38] product: PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Network Connection [13:38] so?

[13:39] no replay for mine... [13:39] anyone have installed ubuntu clutter [13:39] :( [13:40] why is fglrx taking to much time to build!!! [13:40] FUCK!!! [13:40] someone !? [13:40] Why is this taking to much? It just finished in a 5min or so usually. [13:41] dkms problem? [13:41] hmm? [13:41] hanshenrik: tried: sudo rmmod -f iwl3945; sleep 5; sudo modprobe iwl3945 disable_hw_scan=1 === sjefen6_ is now known as sjefen6 [13:42] any one help me? === barak is now known as initrd [13:43] ok now im realy angry.. damn shitt nvidia ! can someone help me simply making my tv get coloure from my computer !? [13:43] ActionParsnip1: will i loose internet a sec in the process? [13:43] Ati sucks then nvidia :( [13:43] What ever google [13:43] what is your problem? [13:43] The X server going crazy? [13:44] the problem is that my conffigyurations dont work [13:44] ok [13:44] hanshenrik: yes, but it will come back afetr 5 seconds [13:44] Section "ServerLayout" [13:44] Identifier "single head configuration" [13:44] Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 [13:44] InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" [13:44] EndSection [13:44] Section "Files" [13:44] google: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [13:44] so, you mean the tv is going crazy? [13:44] google: did ya put in a --> Option "TVStandard" "NTSC-M" [13:44] google: somewhere in there? [13:45] hey! in ncmpcpp, how do i go to a specific directory? [13:45] Is Ubuntu 9.04 Server work on intel CPU? [13:45] ActionParsnip1: just did, now is it a possibility that helped? :p [13:45] I think so [13:45] "PAL-B" in your case [13:45] yeah~ [13:45] this is better [13:45] I can now how much the computer is doing [13:45] hanshenrik: possibly, try it [13:46] I am downloading 9.04 server. [13:46] google: im just reading the docs at --> http://http.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-8174/README/32bit_html/appendix-h.html [13:46] There is a amd in the file name [13:46] If you do not specify a TVStandard, or you specify an invalid value, the default "NTSC-M" will be used. Note: if your country is not in the above list, select the country closest to your location. [13:46] ActionParsnip1: ok, but lets say that helped, will i have to do this every time i restart? [13:46] Does it works on Intel CPU? [13:46] I think so [13:46] ablmf: yes. [13:46] ablmf: amd does not mean amd cpu.. it means 64bit in this case. [13:46] hanshenrik: echo -e 'alias wlan0 iwl3945 \noptions iwl3945 disable_hw_scan=1' > /etc/modprobe.d/iwl3945 [13:46] Unless It is somthing like ilantium or something [13:46] because amd had the 64bit stuff out first I guess. :) [13:47] OK! Thanks!! [13:48] ActionParsnip1: ok, but "disable_hw_scan" will that just count for the network card? or will that like stop the scan for new harddware globally? (like if i wanted to plugin a iPod afterwards, would i need to do "disable_hw_scan=0" every time? :p) [13:48] bazhang: Thanks for the info about the Revo and lirc. I now have the forward and back buttons generating key presses r and f but I need to find out how to map all the buttons to control Audacious. Is it possible to map the buttons to control that app only, even if the app does not have focus? [13:48] YES it worked ! :D [13:49] google: golly.. :) reading the manual worked? [13:49] god.. [13:49] good.. [13:49] now.. [13:49] This is working I think~?!! [13:49] now my problem is only how to get the tv play th films on it :S [13:50] google: i enalbe twinview.. drag the player over.. and play them [13:50] hanshenrik: no, if you add the options i gave to the modprobe it will auto do it [13:50] Dr_Willis nope i just rewright to PAL-B [13:51] Dr_Willis isent there an way so i can use clones then ? [13:51] google: yes.. check the nvidia-settings tool [13:51] hey all, is keyserver down? [13:51] Dr_Willis ok well il be sitting and trying to figure that out now... [13:52] google: gksudo nvidia-settings a few clicks.. done. :) [13:52] ye but what clicks is the tuff part [13:52] 퍽 [13:52] 퍽퍽 [13:52] is it normal for gnash to completely not work at all? [13:52] korean.. [13:52] ActionParsnip1: thanks, is it some situations i should remember that "disable_hw_scan" is on? [13:52] sorry. [13:52] hanbin973: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [13:53] I didn't flood you stupid bot;; [13:53] <_ps_> . [13:53] what ever [13:53] Hmm.. so I was unconvinced with tune2fs and just reinstalled ubuntu with ext3 jfs. A couple more questions: I will not be playing any games on ubuntu, so I'd rather uninstall it all and use that space for something else. How do I remove, I used yum remove on fedora, equivalent cmd on ubuntu? [13:53] this stupid module building is taking to much.. [13:54] is it normal for gnash to completely not work at all? [13:55] assinine: ive heard its very much a work in progress,.,, [13:55] assinine: yes. it's placed there as a honeypot for users. [13:55] I take really much time [13:55] I hate this [13:55] assinine: its possible it might work with some very basic flash stuff I guess. :) [13:55] sipior: a honeypot? why? [13:55] !ot | hanbin973 [13:55] hanbin973: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [13:56] hanshenrik: possibly, ithink its just a weird card that needs weird options.

[14:13] Jyxt: oh, my bad, thought it was 2 [14:13] sorry, my mind is scattered among 5 different things atm [14:13] works out to be just less then 4gb depending on the exact hardware/system [14:13] HHO: Jyxt is right =) [14:13] so , what about hibernate ,what size need to be swap to make ubuntu hibernat + [14:13] no its 4 gig max... [14:13] HHO: At least the size of your RAM.

[14:15] hey. question. [14:15] Pici: yes, but stating that the strict limit is 4gb is incorrect. [14:15] (obviously) [14:15] imaginary, ask ;) [14:16] sipior: Agreed.

[14:17] actually i'm assuming it's not on, based on the fact that copying a large files takes 100% cpu [14:18] c03: looks like you should be running at 1920x1600 to me, maybe there are other bits you need to add [14:18] imaginary: no [14:18] adante: is it a sata drive? [14:18] ActionParsnip1: nah, I added those numbers myself, didn't help =) [14:18] trijntje: any suggestions?

[14:20] imaginary, no, i have little experience with eighter mac or display issues [14:20] hummm it appear like a keys , there ..should be about that |- [14:20] imaginary: #xkcd? Probably, yeah. [14:20] Does anyone here have experience with display problems? [14:20] grawity: thought so [14:20] what type of problems [14:21] i got to keep out the keys like i do a while ago with swap part ,i did swap off , but in extnded that option dont appear , only flags ...what to do with flags [14:21] Negao: I'd like to have Ubuntu displaying in something that isn't 4:3, so that it fills my screen [14:21] but I can't figure out how to get it to do so.

In component universe, is extra. Version 2008.03.22-1 (jaunty), package size 8 kB, installed size 64 kB [14:22] all the options are different resolutions [14:22] Pici: Where can I download that from? [14:22] Dr_Willis: I'm looking for a application to mass download, not one by one. [14:22] Alex_Brooks: that one is int eh repositories/package manager. [14:22] But thanks anyway. [14:22] I installed 9.04 UNR onto an EeePC-1005HA and networking is not working. Wired & Wireless not working. How to I make it work?] [14:23] Alex_Brooks: theres a firefox plugin [14:23] what's ur resolution? [14:23] Dr_Willis: I know, I just looked before I asked in here. Shall I just google it? [14:23] ActionParsnip1: Which mass-downloads? [14:23] ActionParsnip1: Dr_Willis: I'm looking for a application to mass download, [14:23] No idea on mass downloading. [14:23] Alex_Brooks: That package is in the repositiories. [14:23] try it and see i guess. :) [14:24] ok , now i shrink vista part , what kind of chamges i have to make on the flag , of ubuntu parto to appear me option to grow when i click resize , for now it appear only option to shrink ..

[14:24] sup all [14:24] Alex_Brooks: you could use youtube-dl in a script to mass download [14:24] hows it goin? [14:24] BuGo_laptop: that lookd like an alias to me... [14:24] ActionParsnip1: That's what I'm looking into now :) [14:25] script the world! [14:25] Dr_Willis, i want an alias to kill every process [14:25] hi, when i copy large files my cpu uses 100%, how can i stop this? [14:25] hello [14:25] but i do not know how to combine alias variables with awk variables [14:25] i would like to to behave like windows and now use ridiculous amounts of cpu [14:25] BuGo_laptop: not sure what you mean.. but that alias command worked to make a 'murder' alias here. [14:25] BuGo_laptop, it looks like your alias just tries to do what the built-in "killall" command does [14:25] er, NOT :] [14:25] you can stop it by getting a better processer [14:25] BuGo_laptop: function murder { pkill -9 "$1"; } [14:25] I'm attempting to install php5-sqlite, but it keeps forcing me to isntall apache, any way to not install apache but just install php5-sqlite? I already made sure all dependencies are installed for php5-sqlite [14:25] BuGo_laptop: use "killall -9 ", no need for aliase [14:26] llutz, i need to kill multiple different processes [14:26] :) [14:26] I want to change the background color of rox-filer,how can I do it? [14:26] abcdefg: check the rox filer docs/forums I think i saw it mentioned in their FAQ. [14:26] BuGo_laptop: In any case, you cannot use an alias for things like this -- you'd need either a function, or an external script. [14:26] 1024x768 can only be 4:3, what exactly did u want? [14:27] thanks,jetrii [14:27] adante: what is the output of: cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -i hz [14:27] how do i function? [14:27] thanks,Dr_wills [14:27] BuGo_laptop, "killall" kills multiple processes, that's why it's called kill ALL [14:27] hi all, how could i remove million of files fast without overload on server [14:27] how can i find hunrgarian irc servers? [14:27] !hungary [14:27] Magyar nyelvű segítséget az #ubuntu-hu csatornán talál [14:27] mrsmooketoomuch: Try http://irc.netsplit.de/ and http://searchirc.com/ [14:27] hooo no its ok ... [14:27] its working [14:27] Hani: do it in a maintenance window to affect minimal users [14:28] i love this ubuntu ,... [14:28] ActionParsnip1: model name: Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.70GHz ; cpu MHz: 600.00 [14:28] skath, i need to kill thunderbird and alltray that hosts this thunderbird [14:28] impossible task for killall [14:28] Pici: Thanks a lot, just gotta edit the perl source to get it working how I want it to work. :D [14:28] no not in maintenance window [14:28] thx [14:28] adante: yeah your CPU is clocked to save power so is at 600Mhz afaik [14:28] Negao: yes no? [14:28] ActionParsnip1: well i'm not doing anything so it cycles down [14:29] ActionParsnip1: when i am doing stuff like copying files it goes to 1700mhz [14:29] adante: as it should :D [14:29] ActionParsnip1: well yes, except i don't want it ot use 100% cpu, i would like to... not, heh [14:29] ActionParsnip :no not in maintenance window [14:29] BuGo_laptop, okay, I'd recommend "pgrep -f" instead of "ps aux | grep" [14:29] Hani: could do it a few at a time i guess [14:30] skath, what is the difference? [14:30] skath: aux is the bsd standard, ef is the linux standard ;) [14:30] BuGo_laptop, pgrep is optimized for that sort of thing, and it's one less process to use [14:30] is this a dma issue? [14:30] skath, pgrep does exactly what i need :) [14:30] ActionParsnipl : no, it takes about 4 days [14:30] ActionParsnip1: Actually... options that start with a dash, are GNU (not Linux) standard. [14:31] ir takes pids :) [14:31] and if so how can i chekc, now that hdparm is like, not working or whatever [14:31] adante: if the drive is sata its already managed [14:31] ActionParsnip1: it is not sata [14:31] maybe i'm making some stupid assumptions, is 100% on copying files just sort of normal for linux? [14:31] grawity: me reading the man page wrong, thanks [14:32] when did u install the ubuntu? [14:32] adante: then you could look into hdparm [14:32] Negao: 30 min ago [14:32] ActionParsnip1: yeah, when i call -d or -X it says inappropriate IOCTL for device [14:32] adante: you can damage your drive if you use bad settings [14:32] oh ok now i get it [14:33] ActionParsnip1: thanks for the warning [14:33] oh, hdparm reckons i am in udma5 atm [14:33] ActionParsnipl: actually they are billions [14:33] 1st try to go system, preferences, monitors [14:33] Hani: billions of what? [14:33] ActionParsnipls : billions of files [14:33] why linux is free? [14:34] hi all [14:34] there is no 'monitors' only display [14:34] I have a few questions about and I was wondering if anyone might be able to help [14:34] and when i search for monitors, i get no results [14:34] *i mean about apt [14:34] is the resolutions combo box active? [14:34] bening: my guess is the devs give their apps away, so distros like ubuntu cant see what they dont own [14:35] combo box? [14:35] s/see/sell [14:35] theres mirror screens [14:35] bening: there are paid for apps in linux too [14:35] isn't there resolution [14:35] ? [14:36] now after having a 2,2Mg swap , just knowing that i have 2G ram , when i hibernat ubuntu , and then i try to run winows vista , windows vista will stay slowly or with less ram because ram isbeing use it by ubuntu 2,2Mb swap [14:36] is opera 10 turbu a faster browser than FF all else being held equal? (my puter is 1998 vintage though) [14:36] What are the settings to be made to hear audio via my earphones? [14:36] it was a question, sorry [14:36] ActionParsnipl: They are billions of files and i need to remove it urgently by fast way [14:36] Balsaq: i'd say opera was faste [14:36] Balsaq: The 'Turbo' option in Opera only compresses the page for slow connections; it does nothing useful for slow systems. [14:36] my choices for resolution are 1024x768, 800x600, and 640x480 [14:36] all 4:3 [14:36] Hani: if its urgent then you'll have to take the hit [14:37] Balsaq: But Opera is often said to be faster in general. [14:37] alias murder="pgrep $1 | xargs kill -9" [14:37] ok why this one is not workin? [14:37] BuGo_laptop: ...because, as I told you already, aliases don't support using $n [14:37] i wonder is you can actually feel and see the difference in speed grawity ActionParsnip [14:37] BuGo_laptop: You'd need a function for that. [14:37] ActionParsnipl: then what do u suggest [14:38] BuGo_laptop: And there is 'pkill' which may be useful... alias murder='pkill -9' for example :) [14:38] Hani: if its urgent as you say then i'd jump to it to resolve what issue the files are causing [14:38] dggf [14:39] hi! would you guys suggest using openbox or fluxbox? [14:39] can't stand gnome anymore [14:39] which is richer the linux programmer or the proprietary software programmer [14:39] i suppose all computers should have at leat 2 browsers...trying to decide which the second should be. ia m running 9.04 [14:39] Personally id recommend OpenBox [14:39] lulzmachine_: I'd suggest trying both and use the one you like best [14:39] bening: this isn't really the place. [14:39] lulzmachine_: install lxde, it uses openbox and rocks hard [14:39] sorry [14:39] Balsaq: Why do you think so? [14:39] so u'll have to edit xorg.conf file [14:39] grawity i need grep here :/ [14:39] ActionParsnipl: files generated in /var/spool/ theyare snmp log files [14:39] ActionParsnip1: what does lxde add to openbox? what's the difference? [14:39] grawity; in case someday FF is ahving problems i guess [14:39] some one could answear me about being hibernate on ubuntu , will decrease perform ram when then going to windows vista , in dual boot system _ [14:40] bening, http://imagebin.ca/view/5zvsO4HE.html ← openbox. [14:40] BuGo_laptop: Why? [14:40] * ikey goes afk [14:40] lulzmachine_: openbox is the WM in lxde, check it out, its sweet. lubuntu is on the way too and hopefully will become an official release [14:40] I somehow managed to delete the default bar at the top of my screen, how can I get it back? :L [14:40] Its been recognised as official ActionParsnip1 [14:40] grawity: if you didnt notice i'm new, 4th day on ubuntu (or any open system) coming off of w98 [14:41] !panelreset | Alex_Brooks [14:41] Alex_Brooks: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [14:41] Negao: theres something wrong iwth it apparently [14:41] what do i edit [14:41] so lxde is another linux distro ActionParsnip1? [14:41] instead of ubuntu [14:41] grawity, i need a function to kill thunderbird and alltray that docs it [14:41] BuGo_laptop: pkill thunderbird? [14:41] Should i use ext3 or ext4 on a new install ? === manous is now known as openware [14:41] Hani: cd /var/spool && rm [14:41] ikey: sweeeeeeeeeeeeet [14:41] http://pastebin.org/28156 is my xorg.conf [14:41] lulzmachine_: no, its anothe DE+WM like gnome+metacity [14:42] do u have any experience with the console? [14:42] ActionParsnipl , i need fast way [14:42] lulzmachine_: just light and damn fast [14:42] grawity, that was nice... [14:42] :) tnx [14:42] Hani: thats the fast way [14:42] Negao: little [14:42] i found the start up menue and am tempted to disable thing to make it bott up faster, if its like windows i could disable lots of stuff on start up because it was still there, just not at the startup, is that how ubuntu works? [14:42] a little [14:42] question: why i can't set resolution on 1680x1050 [14:42] ActionParsnipl: i don't need overload on the server [14:42] BuGo_laptop: And now go search for "shell functions" in bash's manpage. [14:42] Hani: so if you want to get rid of all the .log files you'd run: rm *.log [14:43] Hani: the kernel will manae it as best it can but you said its urgent so you will have to [14:43] i can set only lower resolutions [14:43] i tried dexconf in terminal [14:43] did nothing as far as i can tell [14:43] grawity, i have searched for that and made a murder function. but it is not useful now [14:44] ActionParsnipl: you way make too much overheah on the server, I believe [14:44] Hani: urgent means "do it now or serious consequences will happen" not "sit and chat about it for a while" [14:44] ikey, what is that? [14:44] Hey, wondering if anyone here could answer a quick question about File Systems? [14:44] ActionParsnipl: i have one day to do it [14:44] !ask | AlastairDewar [14:44] AlastairDewar: 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. :-) [14:45] Hani: find path/ -name '*.log' -delete; is the fastest way, I think. [14:45] Hani: thats not hugely urgent, you can use file globbing like *.log etc and delete the files you dont want [14:45] Does anyone know what Filesystems are supported by linux and mac? [14:45] I have to transfer a 6GB file via usb drive and Fat32 cant handle that size [14:45] why ubuntu redraws all windows when i press backspace in empty text field (firefox, xchat, netbeans) [14:46] ActionParsnipl: my problem is the server handking a lot of services [14:46] AlastairDewar: split it [14:46] and i need to minimize overhead [14:46] once i tried to creat a full instalation ubuntu 9.x in a pen drive 8 G , but it was slowly on graphic , actually running it from an live pen 1g it is very fast, faster then in from hard drive install . unfortunally allways i conect from pen live , i got to conect to internet with cable to get wireless driver working and i cant have a login user and password . [14:46] AlastairDewar: Then use either ext3 (maybe ext2) or NTFS, I guess. [14:46] Thanks [14:46] Hani: 'man nice' [14:46] Wasnt sure of Mac's support for Ext3 [14:46] AlastairDewar: I'm sure it has read support for both. [14:46] Sweet [14:47] AlastairDewar: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file_systems has a section labelled OS Support [14:47] Much appreciated [14:47] AlastairDewar: OS X is based on BSD, anyway. [14:47] Yeah [14:47] ikey, what is that [14:47] any ideas? [14:47] grawity: your way also not too much fast, I believe [14:47] hi, im having a problem with my system locking up in Jaunty. currently my display is frozen but ssh and everything else is running in the background. this happens on my laptop too at inopportune moments so im wondering what sort of data i need to collect in order to file a bug report [14:48] ext3 works through command line mounts in os x [14:48] but not in the gui by default i don't think [14:48] So maybe stick with Ext2 to be safe? [14:48] Hani: There is a physical limit at how fast one can do file operations. And since for every file the OS has to update the file list... [14:48] i am unsure about ext2 support in the gui [14:49] chances the GCC 4.4.1 builds for karmic will work with januty? (dont know witch channel to ask this so im asking in both :p) [14:50] ActionParsnipl,grawity :Thanks [14:50] hanshenrik: don't mix debs from a different release, you'll get a big tangled mess [14:50] UFS might suit my needs actually [14:50] I'm trying to compile ubuntu and I'm following this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile and when I try to install the package "Couldn't find package linux-kernel-devel" did they change the names?

[16:01] adonai2009: sudo fdisk -l [16:01] help me yah. I want to install from tar.gz, what package is needed to make. to make and make install successfully ??? [16:01] hello [16:01] gregwa, unless someone has been messing around with your system, you are running Debian, not Ubuntu [16:02] so, ok. I'm hosed for straight upgrade. Walk me through doing install when I have a /home folder on another partition. [16:02] mo0nykit: you used ubuntu sources and config ? or did you compiled from kernel.org sources ? [16:02] makmum: Try install the build-essentials package [16:02] ehbaut: yes, there is a 4096 character limit on the path length. you can find this and other interesting numbers in /usr/src/linux/include/linux/limits.h [16:02] adonai2009: you will need to use fdisk to set the partition type to 81 (linux swap), then use the commands to format it as swap (i think) then use the swapon command [16:02] makmum: build-essential [16:02] !compile | mo0nykit [16:02] mo0nykit: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) === vatts[off] is now known as vatts [16:02] Hi. Is there an easy (i.e., dpkg-reconfigure postfix or something guided like that) to configure postfix to use gmail as my smarthost and cause all mail sent from root@mymachine to be sent to my gmail account? [16:02] gregwa, do a normal install but when it gets to the partitioning, use manual and mount your home partition at /home [16:02] !compile | makmum [16:02] makmum: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [16:02] gregwa, also make sure you don't format the partition [16:02] mo0nykit: sorry for the compile factoid [16:03] Do you use the ubuntu [16:03] ?? [16:03] I'm assuming you are referring to the home partition not to format...right? [16:03] who can hell me ? [16:03] !ask | gc_ [16:03] gc_: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [16:03] erUSUL: yes, I compiled from Ubuntu sources (I got an .orig.tar.gz and a .diff.gz, then I patched the orig with the diff) [16:03] mo0nykit: and you enabled apparmor in the config ? [16:04] ok ,i am sorry [16:04] gregwa: boot to live cd, backup all the config files you need if any are in / (like smb.conf, resolv.conf) then use the disk to wipe out / and /swap partition and reinstall, you can tell the installer to use the home partition you have as home, just DON'T tell the installer to format the data, make your username the same as it is now [16:04] gregwa, yes, don't format the /home partition or it will be destroyed [16:04] Hey all. I'm getting segfaults in various applications. I ran memtest over the weekend and reported no errors... What else can I do?

[16:05] mo0nykit: i dunno becouse i use unpatched kernel.org when compiling my kernels... [16:06] erUSUL: then you used "fakeroot make-kpkg" ? [16:06] Hey all. I'm getting segfaults in various applications. I ran memtest over the weekend and reported no errors... What else can I do? Here's a sample of some segfaults from kern.log.: http://paste.ubuntu.com/280471/ [16:06] mo0nykit: try to search for apparmor references in the config file for the kernel (not sure though) [16:06] mo0nykit: using grep or something [16:07] can anyone recommend me an alternative to kaffeine to watch DIGITAL tv? me-tv sucks [16:07] mo0nykit: nope; i use old style do it yourself by hand « make -jn ; sudo make install ; sudo mkinitramfs ... » [16:07] carresmd: okay i'll try that with less, then the / command inside less :) [16:07] (parroting 5 minutes ago) Is there an easy (i.e., dpkg-reconfigure postfix or something guided like that) to configure postfix to use gmail as my smarthost and cause all mail sent from root@mymachine to be sent to my gmail account? [16:07] sheepsy1: have you fsck'd your drives? [16:07] mo0nykit: you can search inside menuconfig with typing "/" [16:07] can anyone recommend me an easy to use alternative to kaffeine to watch DIGITAL tv? me-tv sucks, yes it does! [16:07] avertv-volar-bla, tv-time? [16:07] avertv-volar-bla: mplayer [16:08] xawtv [16:08] avertv-volar-bla: me-tv/kaffeine may suck, but alternatives (mplayer/xine) suck even more [16:08] erUSUL: yeah I tried that, too. My problem with that method is that I don't get kernel-headers, which VirtualBox needs to add Guest Additions [16:08] !tv [16:08] http://www.linuxtv.org/ has extensive information about using TV cards under Linux. Available viewers for analog cards: Zapping, tvtime (GTK/GNOME), Kaffeine, kdetv (KDE), xawtv, motv. For digital cards: Me-TV (GNOME), Klear (KDE), dvb-utils. For both analog and digital cards, !MythTV is a powerful framework. Your card may work the !IVTV drivers. See also !TV-Out [16:08] ActionParsnip1: I haven't. But I have rebooted recently and it didn't startup automatically at boot so I assumed that nothing wrong was detected. [16:08] erUSUL: searching withing menuconfig? Thanks! I was about to ask that question [16:08] teolicy: something like this? http://braiden.org/?p=15 [16:08] mo0nykit: you have to keep your sources and build dir around for external modules to build [16:08] sheepsy1: assume nothing, boot to live cd, umount all partitions and get it fsck'd [16:08] sheepsy1: No guarantees, but it's probably also a good idea to check your computer isn't overheating. Generally speaking, your chassis should be cool to the touch and air flowing out of it should cool to you. [16:08] Me-TV sucks, Klear is abandonware [16:09] avertv-volar-bla: maybe vdr with xine-output [16:09] avertv-volar-bla: ok thats 2 from that huge list, try some [16:09] hi, it say dont find swap , try wap on -a [16:09] how i do that ? [16:09] test [16:09] sheepsy1: There are better ways to check if your computer overheats, like using a CPI temperature checking application. [16:09] The guy with segfaults? [16:09] erUSUL: to build what? the Guest Additions? [16:09] kaffeine does NOT suck. it rocks but it is always nice to have a 2nd app that does the job [16:10] I forgot: How can I set a smaller font in the frame buffer device? [16:10] sipior: dpkg-reconfigure would have been easier, but I guess I can't be too picky :) This seems excellent. Thanks. [16:10] teolicy: also, postfix configuration is pretty straightforward and well-documented. worth going over main.cf once or twice. [16:10] how i do swapon -a » [16:10] ? [16:10] on console or something ? === McPeter is now known as Margouillat97 [16:10] teolicy: It's cool to the touch. What's the name of the application in apt?

How do I find the directions? [16:11] Halitech: thanks. [16:11] Someone wants to give me a hand with my wirelesse connection ? [16:11] Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) [16:11] when trying to type in my key [16:11] sipior: In about 15 years I managed to stay away from the configuration files of MTAs (not including twisted.mail), I'd love to stay out... [16:11] erUSUL: oh there it is. I found it [16:12] adonai2009_: yes, thats one reason to have swap [16:12] mo0nykit: i should tell you with a ascii tree of some sorts [16:12] sheepsy, then you will need to run sudo sensors-detect after its installed and you can use xsensors to see the info [16:12] JonathanEllis1: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallLirc/Hardy [16:12] sipior: (though I admit it's just whining on my part, I simply hate MTAs) [16:12] thanks ActionParsnip1 didnt think of using the live cd [16:13] redsoxking1: you cant manipulate partitions that are busy [16:13] gotta jet kids, peace out [16:13] Does anyone know if there is a ubuntu install cd with nvidia binary drivers included? [16:13] erUSUL: Yes I found it. I'm reading up on the '?' files [16:14] wtf, my hard drive is making that "faint clicking noise" which tells me it's on it's death bed... but its load cycle count is only 3106?? [16:14] quaid__: it is (i|a)legal to distribute that CD [16:14] I was wondering if Linux implemented something similar to AWE .... [16:14] sheepsy1: Also, try booting from a CD and see if segfaults persist. This should help you zoom in on software or hardware fault. [16:14] thanks erUSUL [16:14] quaid__: no problem [16:15] have to install opensolaris instead [16:15] erUSUL: illegal <-- if I am right in reading (i|a)legal as "I" [16:15] erUSUL: illegal <-- if I am right in reading (i|a)legal as "I'm not sure of the spelling" :) [16:16] mo0nykit: ilegal or alegal. i am not a lawyer or judge [16:16] teolicy: compared to sendmail (m4 or no), postfix is dead simple. typically only about a dozen lines need to be modified. [16:16] quaid__, u can make your own cd with nvidia drivers included [16:16] alokito: can you point me to a HOWTO? [16:16] I just switched from a 20" Acer to a 21.5" Lenovo L215. The old Acer's default resolution was 1680x1050. The L215's is 1920x1080. However, whenever I turn on Ubuntu, it defaults to 1680x1050. (my graphics card is a Nvidia 9800GT with proprietary drivers) I even used Nvidia's setting tool; it would set it perfectly (even writing a xorg.conf file), but once I rebooted, back to 1680x1050. [16:16] Here's my xorg.conf: http://pastebin.com/f74a3dd8a [16:16] erUSUL: i didn't know there were such words as ilegal or alegal :) [16:17] !offtopic | mo0nykit [16:17] mo0nykit: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [16:17] mo0nykit: well i'm not english native speakern either ;P [16:17] quaid__, just boot with your live cd, install nvidia drivers and use usb installation [16:17] Halitech: Hm. Would you be able to decipher sensors output? I ran sensors on cmd line and got a few lines with ALARM in them: http://paste.ubuntu.com/280476/ [16:17] andrewmin, you save it in root [16:17] i mean usb startup disk creator [16:17] thiebaude: i did [16:17] alokito: live cd wont boot, that's why I need the drivers in advance [16:18] thiebaude, i even the nvidia-settings as root [16:18] hmm [16:18] andrewmin, ok, i had the same problem when i first installed ubuntu [16:18] quaid__, have you tried linux mint? [16:18] Halitech: Does that ALARM mean anything? [16:18] alokito, hi [16:18] thiebaude, hello [16:18] I need some help on Evolution. Suddenly I can not download from either of my services ... I am getting a flas message "retrieving pop summary" and then absolutely nothing. Have not changed any settings .. This apperas to have started after last auto update of Ubuntu 9.04 [16:18] alokito: no - does it have the drivers? [16:18] thiebaude, how did you fix it? [16:18] sheepsy, its giving you the alarm because there is a reading of 0 for those 3 items, probably doesn't have those actual sensors so I would probably just ignore them [16:19] help, i did a fresh install of kubuntu, and konsole, aterm and xterm crash when i launch them [16:19] quaid__, not sure but it has codecs pre-installed [16:19] andreime, i had to gksudo nvidia-settings and set my resolution and save x and close and reboot [16:19] sheepsy1: Could be you power supply failing .. If that readout is correct! [16:19] carresmd: Which values? [16:19] quaid__, u can find easy tutorials on how to make a custom ubuntu cd if you search google [16:19] sheepsy1: Sorry? [16:20] alokito: have tried various linux live distros. none boot. only opensolaris works. [16:20] andrewmin, thats weird that doesn't work for you [16:20] thiebaude, yeah, i know, that was my first thought... i tried it several times, though, and no go :-/ [16:20] carresmd: You said that power supply could be failing. I'm wondering which values make you think so. [16:20] quaid__, mandriva has nvidia drivers pre-installed [16:20] hmm [16:20] erUSUL: okay back to the apparmor issue. Yes, AppArmor support is set as built-in. AppArmor boot parameter default value is 1, meaning, start during boot up. Well I read an AppArmor bug report here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/375422 it refers to 2.6.30. I don't know if it holds true for the patched 2.6.31 (Ubuntu patch 11.36) [16:20] sheepsy1: line 9, 12,13 [16:21] alokito: thanks for the help - will try what you suggested. [16:22] ?DCC SEND "ff???f?𝑹𝑰𝑷𝑳𝑶𝑳𝑺𝑼𝑷𝑮𝑼𝒀𝑺" 0 0 0 [16:22] sheepsy1: I'm not sure it has anything to do with the segfaults though. Do you have by any change Windows afvailable on that system? [16:22] carresmd: Halitech was saying that it could be just the fact that sensors aren't configured to give info. [16:22] carresmd: What do you mean by change windows? [16:22] mo0nykit: as i said i do not use apparmor at all. dunno what is happening [16:23] sheepsy1: I meant chance :) [16:23] me wonders when the dcc send nonsense will go away [16:23] carresmd: No windows. [16:23] erUSUL: okay no problem.. thanks for the help. :) I'll just post these on the forums [16:24] sipior: carefull even using those words. :) ive been accidently-auto-kicked by using the phrase d c c s e n d befor. :) [16:24] I'm having some troubles with setting up a user's cron jobs. I have my user account listed in /etc/cron.d/cron.allow. I've been using crontab -e to edit my jobs. In /var/log/syslog, I can see that my job is getting executed... the script I'm trying to execute to VERY simple: http://pastie.org/633443 [16:24] Dr_Willis: fair point :-) [16:24] sheepsy1: Maybe it's a good idea to test your system with mprime. [16:24] Halitech, carresmd: Here's another paste. I scrolled up and noticed that when i ran sensors the first time I ALARM on every line. Now I only have it on 3. But the readouts look the same. I put the two read outs under "first time run" and "last time run" sections: http://paste.ubuntu.com/280479/ [16:24] I just switched from a 20" Acer to a 21.5" Lenovo L215. The old Acer's default resolution was 1680x1050. The L215's is 1920x1080. However, whenever I turn on Ubuntu, it defaults to 1680x1050.

[16:37] so i have a samba share set up and it isnt showing up on my windows machines [16:37] plz tell me some other i m having troble in installing record..... software [16:37] ashmew2: it broke after i upgraded [16:37] i do 'dpkg -l' and i see a packet notice 'rc' instead of 'ii' , what does it means ? [16:37] have to use live cd today [16:37] scream: there is a hosts file in /etc, maybe add lines at beginning: "127.0.0.1 localhost" and "127.0.1.1 @" [16:37] oddly, it does show up in windows on vbox on the same machine [16:38] For whatever odd reason, my themes suddenly dissappeared, with the exception of Redmond in controls,New Wave in window borders, and the icon themes. I can add new themes, but they do not work correctly. I tried reinstalling the Human package, but to no avail. I'm on 9.04, fresh install. [16:38] suman_ , im pretty sure this happened to me as well once..I just did a clean Jaunty install and bam it was back to pavillion , very nice again [16:39] jiohdi, number 1, you have to choose a single program and find a problem that happens every time you do the same thing, then come here and describe specific failure ! [16:39] ashmew2: it works great on the web messenger [16:39] plz watch "revolution os " a documentry on linux(# offtopic) [16:39] The windows and linux are same hosts format? [16:40] suman_ , hmm..I think its something to do with the firewall etc [16:40] thinkin of moving from xp pro to ubuntu 9.04. any special considerations? [16:40] How can I sort by field 2 and then by field one? I know it would be sort +1 file > file2 to sort by the second field, but i cant figure out how to then make it sort by field one [16:40] shail: please type the following without any quotes as a message "/join #ubuntu-offtopic" [16:40] ubuntu, hardware [16:40] suman_ , Whats your ISP , Airtel/BSNL ? [16:40] FFEMTcJ: use a pipe [16:40] scream: open in a text editor; if it contains just lines like 127.0.0.1 bad.domain.com #comments it's ok [16:40] ashmew2: i cant connect using kopete as well [16:40] scream, the format of the executable files for linux/windows is different [16:41] i need someone that knows it well enouph to tell me how to access other drives threw the terminal or allow me to browse my drives threw a browser with admin privlages> [16:41] maybe add ubuntu to windows xp? [16:41] scream, yes the hosts files are the same format [16:41] ashmew2: i am using neither.... and i know the firewall doesnot block it because adium(mac) users can connect properly [16:41] ubuntu that is [16:41] how do i edit a config file when i don't have permissions? [16:41] jrib: just sort +1 file | sort file > file1 ? [16:41] !sudo | Dougal [16:41] Dougal: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [16:41] !gksudo | Dougal [16:41] Dougal: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [16:41] thanks [16:41] FFEMTcJ: sure, why not? [16:42] Hello channel. I need an application to test a USB-drive for harddrive failures. I need some way to benchmark it for errors. It doesn't matter if I have to format into another filesystem [16:42] meway: sudo nautilus [16:42] Dougal, you can use sudo nano in the terminal or gksudo gedit for a graphical app [16:42] virctor1 thx i might have more question :) [16:42] how do I know if a package is installed or not from the command line ? [16:42] Victor1: meway: gksudo nautilus, check ubottus comment above [16:42] meway: Please use gksudo and not sudo for that [16:43] Thanks! useful! [16:43] jrib: all that does is sorts by the first field.. it doesnt sort the second field then the first field [16:43] !apt | K3rl0u4rn [16:43] K3rl0u4rn: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome), !Adept (KDE) or !KPackageKit (KDE) [16:43] K3rl0u4rn: apt-cache policy package [16:43] (I don't want human readable output, I want to use it in a script, so output depending on current language that could not be grepped correctly is not what I want) [16:43] FFEMTcJ: that makes no sense [16:43] K3rl0u4rn: apt-cache policy [16:43] whats the diff from gksudo? than sudo? [16:43] Halitech: never did learn any terminal based editors, i really should, but not today. So i'll use gedit [16:43] ok [16:43] bebak... thankx [16:44] Where can I get hold of error checking app for my harddrive? [16:44] is apt-cache policy language independent ? [16:44] i have a list of names (first last) I want to sort by last name and then by first name... [16:44] i have a list of names (first last) I want to sort by last name and then by first name... jrib [16:44] FFEMTcJ: you need to sort by field 2, then sort by field 1 [16:44] FFEMTcJ: that's not what you ran I guess [16:44] !list [16:44] This is not a file sharing channel (or network). If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [16:44] K3rl0u4rn: I read your script comment later; try this: dpkg -l | grep [16:44] meway: afaik it's just that gksudo opens up a graphical window to enter the password in, sudo doesn't [16:45] K3rl0u4rn: if the output line starts with ii it is installed [16:45] !thunderbird [16:45] error while printing in karmic. help please!!! [16:45] Thunderbird is a free email client, capable of close cooperation with Firefox (both by the Mozilla Foundation). To make Thunderbird links open in Firefox, see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=60427 [16:45] victor1 ok thx [16:45] jrib: right.. how do i do that is what im asking [16:45] S33K3R : Please join #ubuntu+1 for Karmic/9.10 support/discussion. [16:46] I need to check my USB-harddrive for errors, how do I do it? [16:46] VCoolio: thank you [16:46] FFEMTcJ: "command to sort by field 2" | "command to sort by field 1" > "output file" [16:46] jrib: isnt that the same as what i did? 11.43.01 < FFEMTcJ> jrib: just sort +1 file | sort file > file1 ? [16:46] jrib: I doubt that will work. [16:46] !9.10 | S33K3R [16:46] S33K3R: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 29th, 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [16:47] grawity: why? [16:47] Rovanion: The usual way is to boot into single-user from Grub selection, then issue something like: fsck /dev/ITS-SDX#-NAME-HERE [16:47] jrib: you're just going to end up sorting on the first name. [16:47] jrib: The second 'sort' will just re-sort the entire file by first name, making the first 'sort +1' useless. [16:47] when i did that it still resticted me what can i do to format a drive? [16:47] jrib, FFEMTcJ: sort +1 +0, maybe? [16:47] ?DCC SEND "ff???f?𝑹𝑰𝑷𝑳𝑶𝑳𝑺𝑼𝑷𝑮𝑼𝒀𝑺" 0 0 0 [16:47] meway, use the live cd or gparted live cd [16:48] genii: Okey, is there any more extensive tests I can perform? [16:48] i dont have the live cd on hand is there another way? [16:48] meway, get the gparted live cd [16:48] grawity: I'm assuming sort preserves original file order when the field it sorts on is the same (that would be sane) [16:48] has anyone found a perfect solution for email with regards to outlook calendar invites? i've seen many solutions but nothing works all the time... [16:48] You have got ot be kidding me [16:48] grawity: thanks.. that worked [16:48] Rovanion: There is something called Ultimate Boot CD which you can download/burn/boot up to which has many manufacturer-specific tools on it [16:48] i have one but i do not have a disk on hand im at a work station right now 0.o [16:49] i just need to delete the files not really need to format [16:49] mailto: to open thunderbird instead of outlo... i mean evolution. Any ideas? the ubottu link is from 2005 and ends in 2007, does anyone ever update that bot? [16:49] FFEMTcJ: does: sort -k2 file | sort -k1 not do the same thing? [16:50] meway, rm -r /path/to/file === L33tCh is now known as l33tch [16:50] Guys, seriously, tell me i'm just using google wrong and that there is a way to make mozilla thunderbird the default mozilla firefox email client [16:50] dumb question: if i change a config file do i have to restart the computer before it takes effect? [16:50] innomen: I checks whatever you have set as default mail client I think; system > preferences > preferred apps [16:50] i dont know how to locate the path of my other drives... [16:51] innomen: there must be [16:51] jrib: nope.. that again only resorts it by the first name... [16:51] innomen, system - admin - default apps? [16:51] FFEMTcJ: weird, coincidence it works on my example file I guess... [16:51] hmm [16:51] Dougal, no, but you probably have to restart the corresponding application [16:51] VCoolio, steop by step please? Dougal agreed, Halitech checking [16:52] I'm having some trouble with themes; they have disappeared from the Appearence Preferences window, and no longer work, on the login window for instance. [16:52] Halitech, i see no "default apps" [16:52] hola [16:52] Redmond is still there, but no others. Anybody got any ideas? [16:52] innomen, might be as VCoolio says, system - prefs - preferred apps [16:52] how do i locate one of my seprate hardirves threw the terminal? [16:52] innomen: it is preferred applications in system> preferences [16:52] snes9x help please, if anyone knows that is. [16:53] vicmackey, did you check at another user, if the themes are still there? [16:53] meway: sudo fdisk -l [16:53] !ask | kunji [16:53] kunji: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [16:53] suman_ , well im really outta ideas.. [16:53] anodesni: the corresponding application is my ssh daemon. I'm trying to change the port i listen in on [16:53] Dougal, yeah, restart it [16:53] k? what dose the command fdisk do can you give me further depth on that command? [16:53] ssh [16:53] Dougal, sudo /etc/init.d/sshd restart I think === EcKstasy is now known as JNSamuel [16:54] Dougal: its sudo invoke-rc.d ssh restart (or the other command with ssh instead of sshd) [16:54] Pici: I wasn't really asking to ask a question, I asked it earlier, but I'm not sure if anyone caught it... [16:54] hey need some help with greping [16:54] meway: man fdisk will give you more information about it. [16:54] anodesni: (Guessing you're talking to me), I only have one user on this machine. [16:54] meway: fdisk is a command for finding/partitioning drives. the "-l" will list all the drives it knows about [16:54] Halitech, fccf, ok that worked, but FYI i have two in the list, thunderbird and mozailla thunderbird, thuinderbird worked, might i suggest someone please update the bot, the thread it links to on this subject is 4 years old [16:54] NumberOfTargets = 18 <-- how would i make the 18 a value from 0 -99 [16:54] FFEMTcJ: duh, I was doing "last first", gave you the wrong order. sort -k1 file | sort -k2 works right? [16:54] ok so it show me about 8 drives 0.o brb [16:54] hi all [16:55] (its a server lol) [16:55] outlook meeting requests.. what do i need to make them work all the time... i'm using evolution and managed to get them to work half the time, but still some come through just text [16:55] what is the best way to install a LiveCD image onto a compact flash card? [16:55] Victor1, you can make a new one, check if the themes are there, remove the user again. If the themes are there, you should clear the config files of gnome, the .gnome2 folder, however, you will loose all other settings too! [16:55] (not the server version of ubuntu) lol [16:55] how can I save my ccsm (compiz) configs to recover them later ? [16:56] Victor1, better is to rename the .gnome2 folder and see if the themes are back [16:56] raeldenk: in ccsm, probably general options, you can export [16:56] i do 'dpkg -l' and i see a packet notice 'rc' instead of 'ii' , what does it means ? [16:56] thanks guys [16:56] meway: Remember that when it lists something like sda1 sda2 sda3 and such, those are just partitions of the same drive (sda in this case) [16:56] ashmew2: thanks anyways [16:56] VCoolio, i'll see [16:56] ashmew2: will do with webmessenger for now [16:56] Anodesni: will try. Might this have something to do with that I built & tried gnome-shell? [16:57] suman_ , well if you have computer specs , you could also look into VirtualBox [16:57] Victor1, I'm almost certain it does [16:57] it said invalid option -- '1' and than some giberish underneath that [16:57] suman_ , so you could actually use any windows application , except heavy games , on Linux [16:57] meway, its a lowercase L, not the number 1 [16:57] ashmew2: i do have virtual box.. but it hogs the memory.. [16:57] oh ok lol [16:58] thank you that one worked now let me c if i can figure this out [16:58] Hello. There is no module usbserial in my ubuntu. is there some pretty way to add vendor and product code, instead of adding it to kernel parameters? [16:58] suman_ , i have 4 GB of ram , so i just use VirtualBox on one side of the CompizBeryl cube and Ubuntu on the other three cubes ;).. [16:58] stanworld: it was once installed, but removed and now only config files are there [16:59] fenixk19: what device are you trying to install? [16:59] ashmew2: i have 3 GB.. but usually, i am doing some development and running localservers so dont have much of memory left [16:59] im not useing any partions there are 8 seprate drives in there ;) [16:59] usb modem [16:59] ok.. finally, should have a real nick now... ok.. anyone seen a properly working solution to evolution and outlook meeting requests? [16:59] VCoolio : i want remove it completeled, even config files, how to do ? [16:59] ashmew2: and i am on dell inspiron1525, and the intel graphics sucks [16:59] stanworld: apt-get purge [16:59] thanks [16:59] fenixk19: be more spacific... 3G? [16:59] stanworld: FYI, that will not remove per-user configurations, such as files and paths under your $home [17:00] _suman ,hehe , yeah the onboard stuff is not very umm.."persuasive".. are you from india as well ? [17:00] yes, Airplus MCD-650 CDMA 3G. [17:00] Pici: but is that what "rc" in "dpkg -l" mentions? [17:01] vendor 1011 product 3198 [17:01] i need it to be recognized as usb modem [17:01] and i don't want to change kernel parameters [17:02] VCoolio, it's in preference tab at left [17:02] Halitech ok now that i have done that how do get to that drives dir i need to get in it to delet a program the fdisk -l did not help me much [17:02] I am unable to use the desktop effects(compiz) in my ubuntu system.I am unable to know why. please help me. I am using the default intel graphic card and my ubuntu version is 9.04. Please help me friends. [17:02] Hello! I found a bug in the Ubuntu patch 11.36 to the 2.6.31 kernel.

[17:02] VCoolio, there you can exporte the compiz config [17:02] I am getting error as Desktop effects can not be enabled. [17:02] fenixk19: as I understand it ... usbserial is compiled under the latest jaunty update, it may not be in the disk install version... You shouldn't have to change anything ... just sudo modprobe usbserial [17:02] raeldenk: ok well, use that, it worked for me once [17:03] Halitech well not a program just any files [17:03] :) [17:03] Once I have edited /etc/hosts what do I do to make the changes effective? [17:03] fccf: it says module not found [17:03] lucky__: is there no more info in the error that "error"? [17:03] scream its effective immediately [17:04] when i launch another X screen, i can't hear sound on the second one coming from the first one, but i can hear sound from the second one when i'm on the first one; how do i fix it?

[17:25] aaron11: not sure if putty supports usernames there, but try it [17:26] VCoolio, thanks. [17:26] RosaNet: open System>Administration >Software Sources and see if there is checmark next to Universe (the second one down) [17:26] Guest60587: that will not work... those USB adaptors are for ps2 mouse only ... buy a USB kb [17:26] how can I force Vesa driver on boot?

[17:29] savid: i'm on Roadrunner and that link works here [17:29] ok [17:29] scream-> also what what was your goal? how many nics do you have in your pc? [17:30] savid: I think you should call the TWC NOC and have them fix that ( that would be a net neutrality issue ) [17:30] Flannel, is there a way to set the resolution of the cli video playback? [17:30] kate_: did you try the ardour package thats in Synaptic? [17:30] rmbol, I have two nics, my goal was to have the laptop access the internet via this PC... but I don't need that anymore. I'm attempting to undo the mess. [17:30] I only use one nic, the eth0 [17:30] legend2440, yes, i thought 2.8 looked better [17:31] it runs fine in a terminal inside x server but it doesn't show correctly in console mode [17:31] kate_: did the one in Synaptic work? [17:31] scream -> remove the other nic physically, and have an entry in your /etc/network/interfaces file for the remaining nic [17:31] legend2440, yes i have used it but it's not very user friendly and i couldn't find an equalizer for it [17:32] fccf, yeah it's weird, I can't ping from two separate computers on two separate LANs, both use local TWC.. it seems it works using other ISPs [17:32] rmbol, ok [17:33] kate_: read post #5 and 6. appears someone else had same problem http://ardour.org/node/2715 [17:33] Hi. I'm trying to move from one computer to another and I'm copying files from the old system to the new one ... When I drag a folder into /var/lib/ It tells me I do not have permission to write to this directory... I don't want to run nautilus as root every time I need to copy a file into a protected area. is there any way to have the system prompt me for password when I try and do these copies ? [17:33] rmbol, you know what I just realized... there are only two lines (both referencing lo) so I don't think that eth0 is even defined. [17:33] Which makes me question, why the network manager did not fix that, and how am I even able to connect. [17:34] whats the technique to have a java applet run in a tmpfs so it will just stay in ram? [17:34] It should ask me for root password, and then do the copy imo [17:34] I'm going to remove the other nic physically now. [17:34] legend2440, i have looked at this thread, they recommend a patch and i don't know how to do this [17:34] kate_: sorry i've never tried ardour [17:35] legend2440, well thanks for your help, i'll keep poking around [17:35] hello [17:36] i am thinking of making my netbook "dual boot" linux [17:36] but i don't think i'm clear on what dual booting is [17:36] i am trying to run brightside, it doesnt show an UI to configure it, i have even tried running from command, nothing appears after minutes...

These are tutorials to accomplish determinate goals [17:50] that's what i thought Irick|Netbook [17:50] VCoolio, hm i know all these... i was hoping there was something more advanced.. you have to know that i own a X-FI soundcard ;) [17:50] im in the process of setting up an openvpn server on my router, and i think that part's done, so i need to set it up so i can connect from my ubuntu 9.04 client. i'm using x509 keys but i have no idea where to set it up [17:51] savid: try this http://67.137.230.67 [17:51] pw-toxic: pulse or alsa?

The internal ssd is already occupid with windows [17:52] pw-toxic: then it's the default ubuntu sound, which is pulse. Too bad, I had a alsa-config in which you could dim bass [17:52] right [17:52] so i put it on an external hdd [17:52] install to sdhc [17:52] leave sdd alone [17:52] VCoolio, you know good drivers for my x-fi? ;) [17:52] pw-toxic: try to find a pulse audio config file in which you can tweak stuff [17:52] VCoolio, i guess x-fi only works with the ones from crreative [17:52] legend2440, yeah.. did you see the traceroutes I did? really strange. http://dpaste.com/99422/ [17:52] Anyone who is using moblin remix?

But there was 1 clue: I threw in the gentoo live cd and the first time booting it had a kernel panic. I forgot the message, however :( So it does point to hardware. But I don't want to make a mistake in asking my boss to replace mobo and it'll turn out to be something else. [18:44] that's if I copy location.

[18:44] alokito, i think this is not rly good...: [18:44] Searching for splash image ... none found, skipping ... [18:45] carresmd: Not yet. What results do I hope for with mprime? [18:45] darkest_night, does it appear after update grub? [18:45] dbugger: no prior testing of changes. but hey do watever you want is your server [18:45] alokito, y [18:45] * ptarrant again agrees with erUSUL [18:45] :) [18:46] I dev like 8 sites :) your speaking da truth [18:46] sheepsy1: mprime stress tests your system. That way you can find out if there's anything wrong with your hardware.. (I'm am not sure mprime does the same things as prime95 does for windows.. But I do think so) [18:46] darkest_night, run sudo apt-get remove usplash usplash-theme-ubuntu --purge [18:46] then run sudo apt-get install usplash usplash-theme-ubuntu [18:46] carresmd: What will I be able to tell with it though? Like if it segfaults... I won't be able to tell very much more than I know now. [18:47] alokito, k... doesn't matter if i take aptitude instead of apt-get, right? i am using it since the beginning [18:47] That's true.. Lets just hope it doesn't segfault .. lol :P [18:47] aside from the super creamy grub 2 is there any reason yall would recommend installing Karmic clean vs an upgrade (from jaunty) [18:47] darkest_night, i think aptitude and apt-get are same [18:47] !aptitude [18:47] aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. Like other APT front-ends, it can install/remove packages and their dependencies (on Dapper and earlier, however, only aptitude keeps track of unused dependencies). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptitudeSurvivalGuide [18:47] k [18:47] carresmd: If it doesn't though, in what other way can it crash where I would see that it's cpu or ram or something else? [18:48] darkest_night, use apt-get, i don't know if --purge works in aptitude [18:48] alokito, it works^^ [18:48] ok [18:48] i switch back and forth between the 2 depending on my mood [18:48] alokito: darkest_night aptitude has a purge command « sudo aptitude purge package » [18:49] sheepsy1: It doesn't crash, it computes numbers (I believe something with PI) against a database with correct answers. If mprime doesn't get it right.. It will stop and give you a message [18:49] ya it links directly to the video. [18:49] If I right click and hit open in browser I can see the video. [18:49] Question: aside from the super creamy grub 2 is there any reason yall would recommend installing Karmic clean vs an upgrade from jaunty? [18:50] aaron, how did you get direct video link from youtube site? ;_S [18:50] ptarrant: #ubuntu+1 for Karmic questions, thanks [18:50] I just can' trun it in movie player due to permission issues [18:50] oh sorry [18:50] carresmd: I'll give it a try. I guess it'll at least tell me if it's the cpu. [18:50] alokito: what? I just right click on the image of the video in the search results and then hit open in browser. [18:50] and it then opened firefox and played the video. [18:51] sheepsy1: Windows users generally use it to test their system while overclocking and such. But if it spits out an error it COULD be anything... [18:51] the problem I have is a permission issue with opening the videos in movie player. [18:51] ok.. what soft are u using to search [18:51] movie player default in ubuntu. [18:51] it has the youtube plugin installed in movie player [18:52] hmm [18:52] aaron, me2 [18:52] aaron, I don't realy care, but it is indeed annoying [18:52] alokito, i retyped sudo update-grub, but it tells the same about the splash-image... [18:52] aaron: following your issue: I think I know the issue,... it isn't actually saving the .flv, only the location data where the video is on the net... do you have the downloadthemall plugin in firefox, that is what you will want to use to pull .flv's off the net [18:52] darkest_night, did u purge and reinstall usplash and usplash-theme-ubuntu? [18:52] sheepsy1: We will just try to isolate the problem together.. And see where we get [18:52] xT|Fish: hahah.... I care. I listen to music that way. [18:52] lol [18:53] alokito, yes [18:53] darkest_night, then sudo apt-get install startupmanager [18:53] aaron, well I listen to music too, but therefor I use Rhythmbox :) [18:53] carresmd: I actually got the advice to create a file bigger than ram from /dev/urandom and then md5sum it a few times. I think that's pretty much the prime thing. [18:54] xT|Fish, can u watch video in rhythmbox? [18:54] fccf: I will check hold up [18:54] carresmd: Anyways, I'll try that a few times then try mprime. [18:54] sheepsy1: Who told you that? [18:55] carresmd: Someone I know. Not on this channel. [18:56] sheepsy1: Ok .. well it's better than nothing ;) [18:56] carresmd: what is the problem? [18:56] del_diablo: ?? Nothing with me though [18:56] Hi all, how to mount a folder? [18:57] carresmd: k [18:57] fccf: I can't find it. How to install downloadthemall? [18:57] carresmd: Other than that, do you know of a way to figure out exactly which hardware is failing? Like I said, I tried memtest, that finishes fine, fsck is fine... It's either mobo or cpu, right? [18:57] alokito, ok, and now? i have installed the startupmanager [18:57] aaron: goto plugins in firefox and find it there [18:57] CoolShorts: mount -o loop *folder *where to mount* [18:57] sheepsy1: Or like I said earlier .. a failing power supply [18:57] sensors tells me that power is within normal range. [18:57] darkest_night, system>> administration>> startupmanager [18:58] sheepsy1: run metest overnight and read dmesg... sometimes you can find clues in there [18:58] CoolShorts: ex: sudo mount -o loop /home/deus/cd/game123folder /mnt/cdrom [18:58] del_diablo: cool, but what do I need to fill in at *where to mount* [18:58] fccf: I don't see it under plugins. [18:58] ah [18:58] you're fast :) [18:58] stefg: memtest doesn't run under ubuntu. [18:58] sheepsy1: You'll never know.. this stuff in computers is pretty complicated.. A lot of thing can brake [18:58] it's called downloadthemall? [18:58] I've got 9.04 running in a vm and wanted to use Tasksel from synaptic to install the LAMP stack.. I don't see it available anymore as an option.. what happened? [18:58] sheepsy1: it's an option on the Live CD [18:58] alokito, ok, i have started it, where can i configure the splash-logo? [18:59] stefg: I'm just saying that you won't see output from memtest in dmesg. [18:59] CoolShorts: or you could example: "sudo mount -o loop /dev/sda2 /home/deus/C: [18:59] Scunizi, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP <-- that helped me alot, pretty easy to follow [19:00] I am installing it. [19:00] darkest_night, in appearance tab change usplash theme [19:00] Is Mplayer the best choice to play 720p on a low-end system? P4, 2.8GHz, 1 GB RAM and a crappy gfxcard (Intel 82915G/P/GV/GL/PL/910GL-someting or other according to lspci) [19:00] aaron: they changed the name ... this one works https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3006 [19:00] alokito, i can't, there is only one to choose [19:00] darkest_night, is it enabled? [19:00] sheepsy1: right... you see memtest output in , well, memtest... but sometimes dmesg has hints like file system panics or the like. and clean the CPU-cooler ... Dirt is the worst enemy of modern hardware [19:01] alokito, yes [19:01] del_diablo: it just returns: Is a directory [19:01] and I don't think it worked [19:01] darkest_night, now try update-grub and see what happens [19:01] stefg: I'm getting quite a few indicators in dmesg: they are segfaults on random programs. Also: I ran memtest once already and no errors were detected... But yeah. I'll try running it again. [19:01] CoolShorts: well, maybe dropping -o loop would work? I only use mount for mounting .iso files [19:02] ok, I installed it. [19:02] ptarrant: man that's sorta old but helpful.. I can install the packages manually or individually but Tasksel made it easier in previous releases [19:02] del_diablo: heh, -o is the options :) [19:02] aaron: there will be a new button on the firefox toolbar, use it and learn it [19:02] alokito, erm.... it says that there is a new version of grub, shall i install it?^^ [19:03] Scunizi, Like I said, it helped me, but then again i'm still pretty new, less then a year here [19:03] darkest_night, ok [19:03] sheepsy1: and then there's #hardware . the jocks in there might have additional ideas [19:03] I just sit here, read, occationally comment, it's a good way for me to learn somethings :) [19:03] Good idea. [19:04] darkest_night, whats your ubuntu version? karmic koala? [19:04] alokito, nope, jaunty [19:04] ptarrant: ah.. going on 4 here.. yea.. TASKSEL is an option in synaptic "Select packages by Task".. there are lots of things in there now to choose from but they eliminated LAMP from the list.. Check it out. open synaptic and go to Edit>Mark packages by task and see what's available.. [19:04] darkest_night, oh ok [19:04] I have usplash gone too, in karmic [19:04] sheepsy1: Have you tried mprime by now? md5summing /dev/urandom is useless for this purpose [19:04] ^^ [19:05] and i can't bring it back, grub2 bug [19:05] thats bad.... [19:05] darkest_night, it will fix soon, karmic is always updating [19:05] Scunizi, now that is nice :) thanks for the info [19:05] clear [19:05] alokito, thats right [19:06] ptarrant: I was wrong.. it is there.. I just overlooked it.. it's called lamp server [19:06] I'm not md5summing /dev/urandom. I'm md5summing a large file (bigger than ram) to try to compare the sums. [19:06] still dosen't work. I still get the same error. [19:06] Scunizi, yep, 4th down, ironically i also overlooked it :) [19:06] sheepsy1: Ooopps... I'm sorry, I misread it .. [19:07] it's not a missing file problem it's a permission issue. [19:07] aaron, how do you browse youtube in totem? I can't find any option and youtube browser plugin is enabled [19:07] what app i can use for CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor on kubuntu? [19:07] Gintulis, conky? [19:08] oh ok found it [19:08] aaron: where is the file? [19:08] Gintulis, doesn't KDE have a system monitor panel? I honestly don't know but i think so right? [19:08] alokito: what ? In movie player which is the default player in ubuntu it's automaticly installed. [19:09] How do I mount a directory? [19:09] you need to install a youtube plugin. It allows you to search youtube and once clicked on the videos you can watch that video on movie player steaminly. [19:09] aaron, yes its in the tab [19:09] del_diablo: the mount is not working.. :( [19:09] aaron, im getting this error: The playback of this movie requires a text/html decoder plugin which is not installed [19:09] ya that tab you just select youtube and then you should see a search input box. [19:09] is it same as urs? [19:10] CoolShorts: you don't mount a directory, you mount a divice to an empty directory serving as a mount point [19:10] you type in their search terms and then it will show below the box the search results. [19:10] stefg: well in this case I want to mount a directory [19:10] ptarrant, i need app for tray panel [19:10] stefg: and if not possible, how do I make a directory an ISO... [19:10] you should see images of the video and decription once clicked on a video it will open up and be played in the player. [19:10] Gintulis, ahh, no idea man, i know 0 about KDE :( [19:11] CoolShorts: rawr :( Well, then i can't help. Not sitting on my system as upgrading to karmic broke it, but there is always "man mount" :P [19:11] CoolShorts: what do you want to do .... [19:11] CoolShorts, mount --rbind olddir newdir [19:11] aaron, when i try to play the video I get that error [19:11] stefg: well it's quite a long story, but I need to mount it for wine/playonlinux scripts to work [19:11] Gintulis, conky is great though google it, it can do some amazing things with the write fonts [19:12] CoolShorts: sou you want to mout an .iso image to a mountpoint in order to emulate a CD-Rom ? [19:12] Gintulis, http://lifehacker.com/5067341/customize-conky-for-ambient-linux-productivity <-- good info about conky there :) [19:12] I have an ubuntu server on a VPS. I'm developing something that mobile browsers are going to benefit from. Problem is, a few (like iPhone) does not allow upload of images from the browser. I was thinking about allowing them to email the image to a specific email address. What could I use to recieve image and run a php script to do the manipulation needed [19:12] ptarrant: no need for the right fonts anymore, it can display images now :D [19:12] does any1 know how i get my splash-image back? [19:12] here is a webiste talking about it: http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2008/04/04/play-youtube-videos-from-the-totem-movie-player/ [19:12] stefg: no I want to mount a directory :-) but trying tyranos command [19:12] ah [19:12] it looks god [19:12] good* [19:12] im a pretty experienced nix user, but have never attempted a BIOS upgrade, what's the best method to do this? [19:12] when you try to play that video it should be shown as if it was like any video. [19:12] VCoolio, when did that happen? you just made my day :) [19:12] darkest_night, did you try update-grub again after enabling with startupmanager? [19:13] the problem is that I get a error saying that I got a permission issue. === sale_ is now known as sale [19:13] alokito, yes [19:13] <|rt|> hey guys should I file a bug for README's disagreeing with man pages? [19:13] by BIOS upgrade i mean I only have linux and would like to do a bios upgrade for my laptop [19:13] Can someone help me setup the smb.conf file in Samba so that I can share my printer with a PC running Vista? [19:13] running NBL on a regular desktop is pretty nice [19:13] that I don't have permission to open youtube videos. but if I open any videos stored on my computer I can view them without any problem. [19:13] hi [19:13] ptarrant: lol, few months back, check for 1.7.1 I think, but it is already at 1.7.2, but I'll give a link because people have difficulties with dependencies [19:13] diogo_79: hi [19:13] CoolShorts: there is no way o mount a directory because that's nonsense .... the directory is already part of a file system [19:13] Hi, is there in Ubuntu a tool that created virtual serial ports? [19:13] scott_ino2, make sure you have a UPS or Battery so you don't loose power mid-way :) I always did the old floppy way :) been years though [19:13] darkest_night, do you see texts in your startup or blank screen? [19:14] !hi | diogo_79 [19:14] diogo_79: 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! [19:14] ptarrant, ive done bios upgrades before, just never from linux. I'm hoping i don't have to install XP on a seperate partition just to do a BIOS upgrade, but i do wanna do it [19:14] hello [19:14] !hi | MAAAAAD [19:14] alokito, a blank black screen... and this sucks -.- [19:14] MAAAAAD: 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! [19:14] * ptarrant laughs at stefg "true" [19:14] I am going to copy a large number of files to a new hard drive. They will almost certainly never be modified. What filesystem will provide the least fragmentation, reasonable other performance, and preferably with *nix permissions? [19:14] i have ubuntu 9.04 install but sometimes it freezes when i use firefox and i dont know why, i have to press reboot key [19:14] <|rt|> in this case /etc/init.d/README suggests that you use update-rc.d to add init scripts to runlevels bu the man page for update-rc.d says that users should use sysv-rc-conf or bum [19:15] CoolShorts, you can try typing man mount in the terminal , sometimes it is very helpful as there are examples somewhere in the manpages === mark76 is now known as Mark76 [19:15] but not always [19:15] sparr: ext3, old but fine [19:15] diogo_79, disable all add ons in firefox and try again [19:15] scott_ino2, 98% of the time they have a floppy image you can download and do it from there, like in the old days, bios updates from inside windows is relatively new [19:15] tyranos: There is NEVER usefull examples in the man-pages /experience [19:15] ptarrant, yes im reading about free-dos utility now [19:15] seems manageable [19:16] ptarrant: install conky-all from https://launchpad.net/~norsetto/+archive/ppa/+packages [19:16] del_diablo, exeptions mplayer mount [19:16] scott_ino2, it normally is, but like i said, make sure you have some type of battery system, i've had the power go out and hosed a board, of course this was like 5 years ago, intels new bios's are suppost to prevent a bad flash, same with ASUS i belive [19:16] mplayer has the helpful stuff on the last 200 pages [19:17] lines [19:17] ptarrant, yeah its a laptop so i'll have it plugged in and on a battery [19:17] VCoolio, thank you :) *scammers off to install goodness* [19:17] Hi all. is keyserver.ubuntu.com currently malfunctioning? [19:17] hi all, I'm on karmic alpha 6 and I'm unable to change gdm themes, I've heard the new gdm lacks support for themes...is that true? [19:17] scott_ino2, then you should be cool man. its pretty easy [19:17] brandonz: according to the last 500 peaople asking so it seems: yes [19:18] brandonz: yep, been getting that ... use pool.sks-keyservers.net as an alternate [19:18] ptarrant: check the conky man page or the sick thread in ubuntuforums cafe for usage and the latter also for lua scripts that provide transparent backgrounds etc [19:18] darkest_night, this might help http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/how-to-easily-change-your-usplash-screen-in-ubuntu/ [19:18] thanks! is there a listing of alternatives somewhere on the net ? perhaps i should google around momre. [19:18] How do I get out of the manual without closing the terminal? >.> [19:18] where i can find the open source driver for ATI HD 3670 [19:18] ?? [19:19] bobo, you already have it installed [19:19] I have a question. Would I be able to use my internal wifi nic to connect to the internet and set it up as an ad-hoc for another device to connect to my laptop? [19:19] CoolShorts: press q [19:19] VCoolio, awesome, conky is an auto-install on my servers (ones that actually run a GUI) I so love that app [19:19] but i have 8.04 [19:19] brandonz: you could search for alternates but I know for a fact that pool.sks-keyservers.net works well and updates to the ubuntu as well as other keyservers [19:19] fosco_, and i don [19:19] gastly: get on Ubuntu+1 channal [19:19] fosco_, and i don [19:19] see that it is installed [19:19] bobo, aptitude search radeon [19:19] del_diablo, ahh ok thnx :) === ptarrant is now known as ptarrant_afk [19:21] sin360: not simultainously, but if you had the wired nic wired in and 'shared' the card as an AP as in (create new network) [19:21] fosco_, so which should i download xserver-xorg-driver-radeon, or xserver-xorg-video-radeonhd [19:21] fosco_, because my card is HD [19:21] 3670 [19:21] Ok thanks [19:22] bobo: xserver-xorg-driver-ati will choose the one that is relevant. [19:22] bobo: IIRC [19:22] so any ideas what I should do? [19:22] Howdy. Would anyone know offhand how to tell apt-get to only upgrade one package and not any of the dependancies? Thanks much [19:23] There's a program that produces fake text output that looks like compiling C code. Remember what it's called?

For more information, please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UNR - support in #ubuntu [19:29] all of them [19:29] dragon: no, i don't want UNR [19:29] I get the same error no matter what the video is. [19:29] i am currently editing my grub using the temporary method (pressing esc at boot). i want to boot from hdd(4,0). what command to i enter to do this? [19:29] wasaabi: How old is your son? :P [19:29] blz, search for Ubuntu lpia port, I don't think you can get a kernel only [19:30] mikewhatever: hmmm i'll give that a look [19:30] del_diablo: he is 7 but he can use the terminal [19:30] do i need to reformat my drive before installing ubuntu? [19:30] blz: I haven't heard of an atom-optimized kernel for ubuntu yet. [19:30] hahaha @ wasaabi [19:30] wasaabi: oh well, you should not have let him roam free at the least [19:30] dragon: someone mentioned it in here yesterday... [19:30] aziz: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst or use startupmanager [19:30] del_diablo: I think he installed something that had to do with ATI even though I have Nvidia card [19:30] blz: forget that. you're talking of the array.org -kernel, but it lags behind terribly and i found the up-to-date jaunty kernel works better [19:30] slimnation7: the setup asks you about it. how were you trying to install ubuntu? [19:30] del_diablo: well I dont have antything important on this computer [19:30] dragon: here is the error I get : Could not open location; you might not have permission to open the file. [19:31] how do I give my user permission for my /home directory stored on separate logical volume? [19:31] wasaabi: well, i got a ATI card.... so i can't help you with Nvidea grapic restore [19:31] llutz: ext3 will produce a horribly fragmented drive [19:31] wasaabi: boot in live cd, backup some home folder and reinstall? [19:31] del_diablo: but still it would be great if we could somehow fix it [19:31] stefg: yes, that was the one! so no good? [19:31] Anybody knows how to install Nvidea drivers? Or the command to fix the xorg? [19:31] afra: hmm i think there should be an easier way shouldn't there? === rickspencer3 is now known as rickspencer3-afk [19:31] i burnt the iso to a disk and booted from disk on restart [19:31] stefg? so UNR uses an ordinary kernel? [19:31] afra: I think he installed an ATI driver [19:31] afra: and that's the thing that messed up my system [19:32] wasaabi: yup, should be easier :/ just a sec, will look for it now [19:32] do ubuntu (livecd) support NTFS in rw mode? [19:32] does* [19:32] aaron: it is a known issue - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/totem/+bug/416359 [19:32] scx: it did for me [19:32] scx: yes it does [19:32] blz: i won't say that... simply not updated often enough. use the stock kernel, netbooks were considered when building it [19:32] dragon, mikewhatever: thanks for the suggestions though =) [19:32] ok, thx [19:32] blz: anytime [19:32] drago: awwwww kill it I hate bugs...lol [19:32] dragon: [19:33] stefg: okay that's good to know. I can always add the UNR interface on top if I change my mind... thanks for the advice [19:33] wasaabi: sorry won't be able to help you there, don't know where it went (in my head) [19:33] afra: okey [19:34] well bye then!

[19:34] del_diablo: cable [19:34] del_diablo: why ? :P [19:34] aaron: the bug report probably has a suggestion for fixing the problem, and besides that the issue has been fixed. [19:34] wasaabi: ok, start the rescue modus [19:34] wasaabi: and select netroot when you get into it [19:34] del_diablo: i'm there now [19:34] oh [19:34] aaron: run apt-get upgrade, and if the issue persists, karmic isn't far :) [19:35] wasaabi: apt-get search nvidea [19:35] del_diablo: oooh damn I was dumb :D [19:35] del_diablo: ofc that will work :D [19:35] i don't think that is enough [19:35] del_diablo: yeah it will be enough :D [19:35] del_diablo: thx alot :d [19:35] the real boner is to figur out the command so it will fix the xorg.conf [19:35] wasaabi: sorry, /me ashamed XD [19:36] del_diablo: yeah but I know how to do that [19:36] dragon: I ran the command and nothing updated.

Does anyone know where Gnome-rdp stores its config file(s) ?

When I go into the sound control thing, it only works if I set my soundcard to OSS. It shows up in ALSA twice, but the first one makes no sound when I hit text and the second one errors.

[20:06] Guest15233: in your bios is should allow you to set it to boot form cd [20:06] when your computer first start it should say "Hit del for setup" or "hit f1 for bios" or something [20:06] needshelp: yea sure but it doesn't change anything.. [20:06] hit that key [20:06] Guest15233: are you sure you burnt the disk right? [20:06] and didnt' just like, burn the iso image as a data file to a cd? [20:06] i reboot , and it's always working the same way.. [20:06] ColonelC81: you might try aliasing the metaflac to flac,... it sounds like you are trying do do something that either isn't officially supported (in ubuntu) or isn't appropriate to be used in ubuntu... perhaps search ubuntuforums.org [20:07] Guest15233: and double check all your cables and jumper settings.... the biuos might not even know the optical drive is there [20:07] Guest15233: Those motherboards you need to set the sata type NOT to ahci to boot from cd/dvd [20:07] needshelp: yea, i've tried that disk..

" authdaemond: FAIL, all modules rejected " [20:39] any recomendations for an mp3 player with linux support that isnt an ipod?

[20:39] maybe this isnt the right place to ask :) But should I go with Ubuntu or Linux Mint? [20:39] I know my way around linux and the cli [20:40] hwilde: Read only? Er.. you could mount it as readonly, but I don't thinky you can create a read only filesystem, how would you get data on it. [20:40] Vhozard i like mint [20:40] azlon: maybe you have to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst too [20:40] Pici, so how to mitigate the write cycles of a compact flash card? and get around the e2fsck check on boot [20:40] hrmm [20:40] I am basically after an GPL licensed alternative to jdownloader that does NOT depend on java [20:40] digeratiX90 But is there any reason NOT to go with mint? [20:40] Vhozard: ubuntu ... but if you choose the latter, don't ask for help here [20:41] Vhozard: it has non-free software preinstalled, but it doesnt really bother me [20:41] Pici, something like the LiveCD doesn't write to disk, so e2fsck check could be disabled [20:41] The alternative must support DLC files though [20:41] hwilde: I don't really know, sorry. [20:41] fccf Differences arent big, so I think I can ask for help here :) [20:42] digeratiX90 I dont care about free/non-free bla bla bla [20:42] Pici, but you know who to ask right :) [20:42] digeratiX90 any other reasons NOT to go with mint? [20:42] I still have problems staying connected to internet [20:43] Vhozard: true, but as we support the ubuntu community and not mint, we like to keep it that way, and there are technically HUGE differences between them [20:43] hwilde: I'm actually a bit busy here, sorry. [20:43] hi all [20:43] fccf technically HUGE? Sorry, but I dont think so [20:44] Vhozard: the default interface is slightly different, it has a windows like start menu and it uses its own update manager, but you can always choose the regular update manager if you like. ive been running mint for about a year and a half and i love it [20:44] digeratiX90 Ok, thank you. [20:44] if i have a svn repository, that authenticates using ssh, is there any way to have a user that has no login shell ( or cant login for that matter ) and still be able to access the svn repository ?

[22:10] epaphus: i'd use x forwarding over ssh to the thin clients from a big server with some power on a decent speed lan [22:10] terrylee42: this is the ubuntu support channel, we do help new users (sometimes - if you ask the right questions) [22:10] i use system monitor on my panel... the only problem is that it does not plot the network traffic when i use my usb modem stick.. it only plot this traffic if i use the built in wireless or wired connection... any way to make it plot the network from my usb stick ?? [22:10] why my computer freezze [22:10] ?? [22:11] PenStand: hehe. ION is nice :) [22:11] My cpu governor does not scale quickly enough the frequency . for ex. rendering web pages requires high cpu just for one second. [22:11] terrylee42: they lied [22:11] !juk [22:11] Sorry, I don't know anything about juk [22:11] ActionParsnip, i need to prevent users from saving files.. and only doing it on the main server [22:11] ActionParsnip: what's ION? [22:11] maybe the manage energy is faling??? [22:11] xcvgfsdg: we don't know. maybe if you gave us some clues... [22:11] ActionParsnip, could i do that with a minimal ubuntu install? [22:11] maybe the manage energy is faling??? [22:11] terrylee42: there is no such "special" password. if you have pop3 acess to yahoo just use your password [22:11] epaphus: you can use groups and folder owner to control what they can and can't do [22:11] terrylee42: itd be your own password as usual, IF youve paid yahoo for IMAP/POP access. if you have a free account, you cnt use a desktp client with yahoo [22:11] !repeat | xcvgfsdg [22:11] xcvgfsdg: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you.

[22:11] PenStand: nvidia gpu + cpu in one [22:12] epaphus: sure, as long as you have an X server its fine [22:12] maco: I've been using Outlook for my email with no problem, then I started reading about Ubuntu and am giving this a try. [22:12] xcvgfsdg: hello! what's the problem? [22:12] terrylee42: you use your normal email password [22:12] <[1]alexander> sup? [22:12] terrylee42: just use the same config you used with outlook. [22:12] erUSUL, im not sure where its written there - i didnt saw driver version [22:12] see [22:12] ActionParsnip: has anybody done that yet? other than Sun of course ;) [22:12] how can I check that telnet host port actually causes xinetd to spawn the appropriate service? [22:13] I did, maco, but from Evolution, it isn't recognized. [22:13] terrylee42: unless yahoo have invented something other than imap or pop3... [22:13] how can I made my cpu governor scale my frequency faster ? [22:13] it's a pop3, maco. [22:13] ActionParsnip, whats that last comment? as long as a I have the X.. ? [22:13] terrylee42: did you configure all the proper server info? [22:13] terrylee42: and the right port? [22:13] mgv2: look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log ... first 50 or so lines will show versions [22:13] yes, maco. [22:13] h4f: You could disable the scaling .. [22:14] the msn mail is operating just fine, just not my main email: yahoo. [22:14] h4f: Not sure if you actually can make it faster [22:14] carresmd: but than the cpu will always run on its max [22:14] epaphus: yes, as long as you have a GUI you can run the rmote x apps over ssh [22:14] mgv2: « grep -i driver /var/log/Xorg.0.log » may help [22:14] terrylee42: umm ive never heard of having TWO passwords on one pop account. and there's definitely not a second password field for pop in evolution [22:14] *remote [22:14] carresmd: to render a web page with flash its just one second. that's not enough to trigger the governor [22:15] h4f: Wait a sec.. I'll try to find some info on this [22:15] terrylee42: and also, this channel is just random people, so i dont know how they can authoritatively say that someone who knows this magical secret password will be here [22:15] then I get my msn mail on Ubuntu and my yahoo mail on windows. hmmmm. [22:15] terrylee42: i think they were just trying to get you off the phone [22:15] then I have to call back and back and back?

[22:18] on linux23.com are torrents available [22:18] my question.. [22:18] ActionParsnip, right.. but the thing i dont understand is.. every client is actually a full blown computer.. right? just that it would require less of a machine to actually run the client. [22:18] h4l: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/107545 [22:18] oh, how do I leave this room? :-) sorry, real newbie. :-) [22:18] !enter | depe [22:18] depe: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [22:19] terrylee42: /part [22:19] sry - ok [22:19] h4l: maybe that could be some help .. look at the devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/ondemand/sampling_rate line [22:19] h4l, lowering it should make it sample more often [22:19] epaphus: yes a thin client is just a low powered PC but it is a PC all the same, just very limited HDD space (often ~1Gb) [22:19] carresmd: I found this one http://allredb.wordpress.com/2009/05/07/speed-up-flash-and-firefox-in-ubuntu-jaunty-904/ [22:19] epaphus: they are often cheaper than full PCs [22:19] ActionParsnip, does it require a Hard Disk? no right? [22:20] h4f: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/107545 [22:20] erUSUL, this is the right driver? X.Org Video Driver: 5.0 X.Org XInput driver [22:20] h4f: maybe that could be some help .. look at the devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/ondemand/sampling_rate line [22:20] h4f, lowering it should make it sample more often [22:20] epaphus: a little one to give an X server and ssh software etc. You can get ones that can PXE boot and get an OS but they can cost more [22:20] mgv2: no that is the input (keyboard and mouse) driver [22:20] the newer torrent is called only ...I386 image but an older has the extension usb image - is there a difference in handling? [22:20] carresmd: ok . will try that [22:20] what is the path for gdebi? [22:20] ActionParsnip, a PC with PXE boot costs more? [22:21] epaphus: or use an older computer with PXE and disconnect the hard drive to save electricity [22:21] depe: what a you trying to do? [22:21] epaphus: full pxe boot means their is nothing on the client so you can easily add new systems with zero config [22:21] h4f, you can just echo to it with 'echo | sudo tee [22:21] nyu_: « which gdebi » [22:21] *are [22:21] theres more than 1? [22:21] erUSUL, this is the right driver? ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 5.0 [22:21] ActionParsnip, thats the part that costs more? [22:21] ...downloading an linux image via transmission?!... [22:21] nyu_: /usr/bin/gdebi /usr/share/gdebi ... plus the manpage [22:21] h4f, now sure if you should do it with all cores though [22:22] epaphus: in some cases yes [22:22] mgv2: no; for example my nvidia driver says --> (II) NVIDIA dlloader X Driver 190.32 Wed Sep 2 02:39:53 PDT 2009 [22:22] i dont imagine why though but ill research ActionParsnip [22:22] h4f: interesting link, thank you [22:22] mgv2: that's 190.32... [22:22] epaphus: obviously they take longer to boot [22:22] mgv2: but maybe the intel driver does not print anything in the logs [22:22] carresmd:iceroot: http://linux.digitalsp.com/2009/08/improving-stuttering-during-flash-video.html this is even better [22:22] ActionParsnip, i would need an OS compatible with PXE boot, right? [22:23] h4f: i will have a look [22:23] I am trying to set up a ad-hoc on my ubuntu laptop where others can connect and automatically get IP address, what am I doing wrong: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/280725/ === ben is now known as Guest29024 [22:23] epaphus: you need to setup a pxe boot server but you can pxe boot any OS afaik [22:23] depe: you want to download ubuntu with transmission?

But it won't increase the sampling time though [22:24] yes - to install ubuntu on netbook via usb [22:24] carresmd: well I changed up_treshold to 40. now it looks my FF renders pages quiqer [22:24] erUSUL, so how can i chech if it's installed? [22:24] got it, thanks fccf [22:25] h4f: you can apply a setting in about:config to set the render delay to 0, can speed things up === jason is now known as Guest43162 [22:25] I am trying to set up a ad-hoc on my ubuntu laptop where others can connect and automatically get IP address, what am I doing wrong: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/280725/ [22:25] h4f, glad to see it worked.. And if you undo the changes you just made and edit the sampling_rate file .. Does that have any affect as well?

I think it isn't a hardware problem then [22:29] carresmd: Any ideas what else then? [22:29] sheepsy1: Been a while since I heard from you ;) [22:30] where can I find the on-screen keyboard? [22:30] fccf: dont know what your numbers mean, but i think it would be the one dated 2009-04-24, am i right? [22:30] carresmd: Been running the tests :) I ran some of that, ran a memtest test. [22:30] Ran that md5sum thing... [22:30] carresmd: bah! [22:30] hola [22:30] sheepsy1, maybe it has to do with your install itself. Did you try the LiveCD? [22:30] Hi [22:30] ...can i do something with that numbersnake.... [22:30] carresmd: I tried it, but the problem is that segfaults are intermittent. For example, this afternoon I haven't had any.

[22:32] and ubottu [22:33] sheepsy1, well is a reinstall an option? I guess it's worth the try eventually [22:33] nice, I like cli managed things [22:33] I got a .wine folder. If I get rid of it, it WILL get rid of everything under the 'Other' category in my Applications section, right? And if so, what else will it get rid of? [22:33] your entire wine c_drive [22:33] #linuxac [22:34] carresmd: Here's a sample from today http://paste.ubuntu.com/280556/ . As you can see the libraries where segfault occurs are different libgtk-x11, libm, etc. [22:34] Whitor: Of I delete that all the things under Other will be gone, right? [22:35] are there any powerpc 6.10 repo's still active, its the only version that gives me the correct resolution [22:35] So the file structure is this: home/.wine/drive_C [22:35] Lappy: the bits in the other category are held elsewhere [22:35] depe: yes [22:35] Get rid of drive_C and it's gone? [22:35] techie: old-releases.ubuntu.com [22:35] I think i found a bug in the sourcecode for xsplash.c who should I be contacting or should I use "ubuntu-bug xsplash" to file it?

[22:36] ActionParsnip: Thank you, get rid of that and everything under 'Other' is gone then I assume? [22:36] Lappy: if you look in /usr/share/applications you can remove the .desktop file for the app and delete it [22:37] Okay [22:37] Found it, "aptitude download" [22:38] fccf: thx - i promise, my questions will get more challenging ;) === BeardedAdmin is now known as BeardedAdmin_Awa === BeardedAdmin_Awa is now known as BeardedAdmin [22:38] is there somewhere I can search packages by the files they include? I'm trying to figure out what supplies zlib.h [22:38] sheepsy1, because it COULD be a library with is segfault'ing and is a dependend for those libraries in the link you gave me [22:39] segfaults make me sad :( [22:39] depe: no problem : I promise to make my answers more cryptic [22:39] Bob_Dole, obvious ;) [22:39] ActionParsnip: I installed this stuff from setup.exe files, it will delete it and free up space though?

[22:42] All the crap I had on in the first place. I ran the Uninstall but the icons remain and it says ot takes up space [22:42] fccf: huh. why not zlib-dev? [22:42] is it possible to upgrade a desktop installation to an UNR one? [22:42] Lappy: the user installed apps are for that user only so wine menu apps will only appear for that user and are held in ~/.local [22:43] agliodbs: because there is no zlib package only zlib1g [22:43] I just installed Ubuntu on an old PC that uses an old NVidia chipset with shared memory. The nvidia driver doesn't work properly and only lets me use a screen resolution of about 320x240. The non-proprietary driver doesn't let me go higher than 800x600. How can I set my screen resolution higher? [22:43] Lappy: those entrys are usually for other stuff [22:43] Hi guys, having some problems with installing ubuntu powerpc version (alternative) via usb stick on my ps3, the cd drive can't be mounted shows up on every installation [22:43] sheepsy1, you still alive? Or has you system exploded? ^^ [22:43] I'm running of /dev/sda1 and mount /dev/sda1 /cdrom doesn't work: no such device [22:43] Oh joy, my sound isn't working [22:44] distant_voice: what is the output of: lspci | grep -i vga [22:44] just a sec ActionParsnip [22:44] distant_voice, did you do a System-Administration-hardware drivers? [22:45] christopheb, it's probably an other device then.. try 'ls -l /dev/sd*' [22:45] distant_voice, and let ubuntu search for the correct driver [22:45] So, from the GUI, the volume on everything is 100%. Yet nothing is outputting sound. [22:45] christopheb: you can view partitions with: sudo fdisk -l [22:45] christopheb: did you get your image here? http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/9.04/release/ - the PS3 iso is available there [22:46] there's only sda1 [22:46] and that's the usb device actually [22:46] I mounted it to start the installation [22:46] and yes, I took the alternative [22:46] output is 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV18 [GeForce4 MX - nForce GPU] (rev a3) [22:46] ActionParsnip: The usr/share stuff wasn't what I was looking for. I installed all of the files under 'Other' from windows executable files. Where are they stored? For instance I have Any Video Converter. I tried to use the uninstalled but it didn't uninstall. So, is all that kept in the C drive? I also have a Z drive apparently... [22:46] christopheb: i dont believe you want it mounted to nistall to [22:46] playstation 3 alternate install cd [22:47] hmm, ubuntu doesn't start installing so what else can I do [22:47] thiebaude, I installed the recommended driver by Nvidia, but it works worse than the open one [22:47] Lappy: Z: = / [22:47] how do i restart compiz very quickly? [22:47] distant_voice, the 180 driver? [22:47] Yeah a Z: drive. No idea [22:47] Alsamixer says my volume is at 100% too, and I still don't hey any sound, wth?

[22:48] anyone no how to flash a dell 6400 bios [22:48] Im in Wine Config Settings and the drive mapping is .../drive_c. In assuming EVERYTHING installed from an .exe via wine was installed to drive_c, correct? [22:48] christopheb: I think you will find subject matter experts in #ubuntu-ps3 , the ps3 isn't officially supported here anyway - although you will need to be patient for an answer [22:48] Bob_Dole: But it worked before? [22:48] ok thanks fccf [22:49] Actionsparsnip, not sure, I just chose the recommended driver from the menu. so probably not. what should I do? [22:49] bypass: make a dos boot disk and do it there [22:49] carresmd, it did 10-17 hours ago. [22:49] hola [22:49] EricTheHax: Sys>Prefs>Appearance>Visual Effects tab, set to None then back to Extra [22:49] If I delete the drive_c folder everything should disappear, right ActionParsnip? [22:49] whats the quickest way to restart compiz? [22:49] oh [22:49] uh crap [22:49] EricTheHax: Or from CLI: compiz --replace & disown & exit [22:49] i type slow lol [22:49] Lappy: you'll need to recreate the folder after [22:49] Bob_Dole: All sliders are on the top .. MASTER, PCM and FRONT? [22:49] how can I setup multiple websites on the apache server? I have internal IP addresses which are pointed to a NAT. [22:49] i tryd that it keeps fucking out [22:49] carresmd, yeah [22:49] On IIS I would create the virtual website then assign the IP address and Hostname. On Apache I created a virtual host with the IP address and hostname but the site does not show.

I'm sorry I can't find any reason why it shouldn't work suddenly [22:58] ugh [22:58] im starting to hate linux [22:58] ActionParsnip: Yes I am. it just complains that I don't seem to use the Nvidia driver.

[23:00] distant_voice: you could play with xorg.conf.

I currently have 32MB assigned [23:02] distant_voice: i have to use it as my crt monitor doesnt give display codes so I have to tell my PC what my monitpr can do [23:03] distant_voice: no, you need to get the chip recognised first [23:03] distant_voice: http://pastebin.com/f116eb475 [23:03] ActionParsnip: please send your xorg.conf then. your help is appreciated [23:03] ActionParsnip: thanks [23:03] geek|groupie: perhaps this link will help you http://webupd8.blogspot.com/2009/06/how-to-install-skype-in-ubuntu-904.html [23:04] Hey all, I'm running gnome but using kdm as a login manager.

As screensaver, I can choose "Pictures folder" as screensaver. As default, it chooses every image in ~/Pictures. Where can I change this? [23:05] hmm, nobody in the ps3 channel, It's a strange problem, when I just do mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/cdrom it says invalid arguments [23:05] i have 1 gig of ram and 512 mb on my g card [23:06] dermot, I believe that had support dropped recently in 9.04, the open source drivers can be hit or miss with ATI cards around that time. [23:06] oh [23:06] next time get nvidia [23:06] what driver would be the next best choice then?

ATI just doesn't want to support "older" hardware anymore. [23:06] ok [23:07] dermot: have you installed the proprietary ati driver? [23:07] How can I use the command "route" to set the default network interface to "tun0" instead of "wlan0"? [23:07] dermot, the open source driver, or "VESA" is the only thing you can do with the x600. THe proprietary driver has to use an old X org version, which isn't easy to install on 9.04 [23:07] so even if i reconfigured ubuntu to be like the ibex the AMD driver would probaly not work well either then?

[23:08] erUSUL: yeah i suppose.. [23:08] this is my question [23:08] ActionParsnip, really? I thought it was included in the dropped support cards. My mistake Dx [23:09] carresmd, no, but I'm going to now. [23:09] does metasploit works only in net work or on internet ,, i meen can i hack one living in france ,, and i am in newyork [23:09] or just in network [23:09] Bob_Dole: http://pastebin.com/d607cb829 [23:10] hi === Guest30942 is now known as ThaDocTrey [23:10] I installed lamp. how can I access phpmyadmin?

[23:10] ActionParsnip, that includes the x600, looks like the old driver which doesn't work with 9.04's X.Org version. [23:11] jdn929: localhost/phpmyadmin?

[23:12] carresmd, that didn't work. I guess I'll have to reboot. [23:12] DigitalKiwi: its an audio creation tool where you add blocks of loops and samples [23:12] so how can I install lmms? using the repository of course, so no building it?

[23:25] also, neither the kernel or message logs have any of the crash messages I saw. Nor do they have anything around the time it would've happened. the last logs are the messages from starting the raid recovery [23:25] lost_and_unfound: why not use something like photorec to recover the data ?

[23:35] problem with transmission - no connection to peers [23:35] GiveMeWeed: no, don't mount it. [23:35] its not mounted [23:35] good [23:36] but it says it cant umont [23:36] says i need to umont all partioton with number higher then 5 [23:36] if you are resizing your other partitions, you'll need to boot to a gparted/ubuntu live CD.
