[00:04] the third one flannel [00:04] sorry, i just installed ubuntu about 2 weeks ago [00:04] so im very new to this [00:05] ubuntistas: Er, which one was that? You want to go back to only Ubuntu? [00:05] Beastmode: you can just upgrade, but it won't use gdm login screen but something else or at least it seems the users can't tweak it anymore [00:05] yup [00:05] oh [00:05] ubuntistas: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome If you want anything that comes with Ubuntu, either reinstall it afterwards, or modify that line so it won't be removed [00:06] May need to upgrade my linux-box, AMD XP2000, 768mb RAM, Geforce 2, 40Gb SATA2 Drive [00:06] anywhere i can read about what changes will be in Karmic as oppposed to 9.04?

[00:09] sorry, slipped out an insider thing :( [00:09] well can i be an insider? [00:09] How long does it normally take you guys to build the ubuntu kernel from scratch? [00:09] fearful: solved? good, the logout sound was a _very_ weird one [00:10] Balsaq, if you were you would've understood immediately :( [00:10] thought it may help others who need speed like i did...who knew?

[00:10] well insider werent always insiders you know [00:10] WTF always somebody leaving this channel and then someone else connecting [00:10] XD [00:11] !language | ThePunisher [00:11] ThePunisher: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [00:11] hi [00:11] im interested in installing ubuntu on my car [00:11] !hi | wahnfrieden_ [00:11] wahnfrieden_: 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! [00:11] to replace the car management system [00:11] it's a BMW [00:11] are there any open source ABS projects? [00:11] ThePunisher: you can switch off these messages in pidgin with enabling a plugin (do you use pidgin?) [00:11] how come when i run update it tells me that new package 9.10 is available? so i should not install that unti october29? [00:12] VCoolio, would you mind giving me the force add-on you were mention or where I can find it? [00:12] VCoolio no [00:12] wahnfrieden_: Ubuntu isn't designed to run on your car, no. [00:12] Flannel: not what i asked [00:12] but thanks a lot anyway [00:12] im worried about turn signals [00:13] if there's some gnu software to handle them [00:13] is there in this channel translation script? my english is bad so i'm need a translator. [00:13] but it's not crucial because i can always just use hand signals [00:13] wahnfrieden_: All of that stuff is taken care of by specialized embedded systems,which may run linux, but not Ubuntu. [00:13] lol @ wahnfrieden_ [00:13] fearful: I'd have to check, I use the manual way: download the .xpi file, then open in archive manager, open install.rdf in texteditor and change the max version, save, let archive manager update the .xpi then open that with minefield > done. [00:14] anyone using the web janitor? i have 3 files to get rid of but it says "am i aware i may break my cpmuter" if i dump them? [00:14] VCoolio, alright, I'll give that a try instead sounds bettery anyway [00:14] best music management in the repos? [00:14] zed its not a laughing manner [00:14] somebody can help me with php? [00:14] matter [00:14] this is my life at stake, as i drive my car [00:14] wahnfrieden_: wrong! [00:14] wahnfrieden_: Please stay ontopic in this channel. [00:15] :/ [00:15] i need to knwo that my brakes won't go out, just because RMS decided that some ubuntu driver that my car relies on, isn't GNU [00:15] or "free" enough for him [00:15] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8027691#post8027691 [00:15] i see. [00:15] fearful: it will still prompt with updates, but those will not install of course, you have to repeat every time; depending on how many add-ons you use and how often they have updates you may prefer an add-on [00:16] g2g goodbye [00:16] wahnfrieden_: Again, Ubuntu isn't appropriate for your particular needs at the moment. Please find a more appropriate channel to ask in. [00:16] Flannel: what do you suggest, maybe #slackware or #gentoo ? [00:17] VCoolio, ok thanks for the info again [00:17] wahnfrieden_: They wouldn't be appropriate either. You're looking for embedded linux, although I doubt many of your subsystems would use linux at all. [00:18] whys that? [00:18] wahnfrieden_: ask your mechanic [00:18] sorry, I dont understand [00:18] ctmjr: he uses PC [00:18] morning :) [00:18] wahnfrieden_: This is offtopic, if you'd like to continue, I'd be happy to explain it in #ubuntu-offtopic, but not here.

[00:28] theres a CLI if you want.. [00:28] ubuntufan86: press ctrl+alt+f1 [00:28] then pres CTRL ALT F1 [00:28] if ur really sick of GUI [00:28] blackbox [00:29] fluxbox [00:29] linux still has a long way to go to catch up to windows in terms of GUI [00:29] no way dude [00:29] what makes you say that?

I like that.

[00:31] you haven't proven anything [00:31] yes its ugly [00:31] ugly is only an opinion [00:31] i happen to think it looks good [00:31] it looks cheap [00:31] if you make it look the way you want [00:31] fix it up [00:31] what does?

[00:58] IpSe_DiXiT: if it doesn't pop up in gdebi, then install it with: dpkg -i install_flash_player_10_linux.deb [00:58] VCoolio ? [00:58] Evelina: title of webpages? [00:58] Samus_Aran: but i'll have to unistall my flash version first [00:59] IpSe_DiXiT: it should upgrade it [00:59] shinystar: [00:59] Samus_Aran: ah ok [00:59] letz see what happens :D [00:59] Prohibited, what are you using? [00:59] IpSe_DiXiT: you'll need to restart your browser afterward [00:59] Prohibited: I know. [00:59] Prohibited, wine? Cedega?

[01:00] well [01:00] wud guyz [01:00] Prohibited: contact the crossover team, when you buy it you also buy support [01:00] wud up [01:00] Samus_Aran: ive already tried to install this, ive just realized it cuz this output came out that time as well "A later version is available in a software channel [01:00] You are strongly advised to install the version from the software channel, since it is usually better supported." [01:00] shinystar: Yeah, the content between the title tags in the code of web pages. [01:00] Evelina: if you want to copy a website use the save as function of firefox or use something httrack website copier [01:00] Jagger: join #aircrack-ng [01:00] please help, i installed ubuntu jaunty on a system with raid 0 [01:00] for some websites, example is one of the Church Norris jokes websites the joke (if you consider them a joke) it in the tags [01:01] but at reboot i've grub error 21 [01:01] Prohibited, it is OT (off-topic) here, i will help you in # seaphor if you want [01:01] I have a lot of problems getting all characters to show up as the should depending on different encoding of web pages. [01:01] Evelina: you could also simple do a right click and view the source to look for the title.. but that would be useless. because your window shows the title in the title of the window xD hahaha [01:01] so getting a game to work on Ubuntu is counted as offtopic? [01:01] Somtimes the web page says utf-8 but the text look only good using iso-8859-1 anyway. This is very fristrating! [01:01] i typed in live "ms-sys -m /dev/sda" the result was good, but i can't reboot windows xp [01:01] Evelina: oh, I see. so you're coding html.

[01:03] ActionParsnip: It works fine though... [01:03] thank you samus [01:03] Evelina: well #bash would be more helpfull, but a wget -qO- http://www.google.com/ | sed -n 's_^.*\(.*\)<\/title>.*$_\1_p' could help you too xD [01:03] <IpSe_DiXiT> Samus_Aran: i have this version installed now FLASH LNX 10,0,32,18 why do i need to install the .10? if mine's more recent [01:03] <sebsebseb> hi again Karan [01:04] <Samus_Aran> ryguy: it may or may not work fine using sudo, depending on settings. gksudo will always work [01:04] <yuri_dragon_17> I need help: I have a working ubuntu disk In the drive, but my computer won't boot to linux [01:04] <ryguy> oh okay [01:04] <ryguy> fair enough [01:04] <ActionParsnip> ryguy: sudo doesnt setup the environment correcly and can damage ownerships [01:04] <ryguy> thanks for the tidbit [01:04] <shinystar> Evelina: utf-9? you mean utf-8 I think. you can set your terminal charset..

[01:04] <ActionParsnip> ryguy: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo [01:04] <Samus_Aran> IpSe_DiXiT: because the version that your distro installed for you is broken for sites that mean something to you. try the latest stable release directly from Adobe. if it's still buggy, then try an alpha (test) release [01:05] <Evelina> shinystar: Will the characters look good using you line of code? I mean different characters only show up as the should using the right encoding? [01:05] <yuri_dragon_17> KingNimrod: that's probably it [01:05] <Evelina> shinystar: Yes, I meant utf-8. [01:05] <root_demon> hello ubuntu people [01:05] <Samus_Aran> Evelina: there is no way to magically know which encoding a file has [01:05] <IpSe_DiXiT> Samus_Aran: alright so im giving this dpkg --force-all --install install_flash_player_10_linux.deb without removing the installed version first, right? [01:05] <Samus_Aran> Evelina: when opening text files, they will be displayed using the encoding of your terminal [01:06] <Samus_Aran> IpSe_DiXiT: yeah [01:06] <Evelina> Samus_Aran: Yea, I have created a script that also gets the encoding line of a web page source code, the problem is that itthe texts ometimes look good using the opposite encidong!

I'll do that. is it enough to stop the service or do you think I should restart after disabling it? [01:07] <sebsebseb> guest17747: don't think so, but you can get support for Ubuntu Netbook Remix in here [01:07] <IpSe_DiXiT> Samus_Aran: dpkg: operation requires read/write access to dpkg status area --> thatz the output, am i missing a sudo here? [01:08] <guest17747> ok, good to know [01:08] <shinystar> guest17747: there is #kubuntu-netbook [01:08] <guest17747> i just thought there may be a dedicated channel [01:08] <guest17747> oh ok, that might be an option [01:08] <guest17747> thanks [01:08] <sebsebseb> guest17747: that's Kubuntu though KDE [01:08] <sebsebseb> guest17747: not Gnome KDE [01:08] <shinystar> ^ indeed [01:08] <guest17747> right, thanks for clarifying [01:08] <sebsebseb> shinystar: I didn't know that channel existed [01:09] <sebsebseb> guest17747: above that was meant to say not Gnome/Ubuntu [01:09] <ActionParsnip> root_demon: possibly make the power management not make the sub flutter of and on [01:09] <Samus_Aran> IpSe_DiXiT: sorry, yes, sudo. my mistake [01:09] <shinystar> there is a channel for every problem [01:09] <Samus_Aran> IpSe_DiXiT: (I use a root account here, so often forget the sudos) [01:09] <foey> mmmm, I just was running a XP VM in Virtual Box, it started to get slower and slower so closed Virtual box but yet my ram still stayed over 600mb, Ubuntu was almost unusable (slow) rebooted and now nice and quick. Memory leak?! [01:09] <ActionParsnip> shinystar: there can be, the server supports channel spawning [01:09] <root_demon> ActionParsnip: that's pretty tricky. hadn't thought of that. thanks much.

[01:10] <Samus_Aran> foey: most likely an app crashed and no longer was on your desktop, but was still running in a frozen state and using all the rAM [01:10] <Samus_Aran> *RAM [01:11] <Flannel> BWARG: "doesn't install correctly" meaning what? [01:11] <foey> Samus_Aran : Yeh ill check that out, I did go to load it up but was taking ages to load, [01:11] <Samus_Aran> foey: if you're in Gnome, turn on the CPU and memory monitors [01:11] <xiong> Well, I tried KDE as an experiment; I'm sure whatever general comment I might make would be superficial. One annoying thing for me was that I could not figure out how to establish a network connection. [01:11] <BWARG> it installs but when you try to use it it gives a socket error [01:11] <foey> Samus_Aran : Got System monitor loaded now [01:11] <BWARG> saying the socket file is not there [01:11] <shinystar> ActionParsnip: channel spawning, you mean I can use openid to logon on differnt servers [01:11] <IpSe_DiXiT> Samus_Aran: ok done, but look adobe-flashplugin (10.0.32.18-1) it's the same version i had...

[01:12] <BWARG> i was insisted upon that it was because i was using the karmic but then i reinstalled jaunty and it happened again [01:12] <foey> Samus_Aran : Ok thanks, just booting up the vm now [01:12] <Samus_Aran> IpSe_DiXiT: okay load up synaptic and do a search for flash plugin and see which one(s) it lists as being installed [01:13] <Samus_Aran> foey: by the way, how much RAM on the system, and do you have swap enabled ? [01:13] <BWARG> it was the first thing i installed after booting ...well after updates [01:13] <ActionParsnip> shinystar: so their can be a help channel for anything you like [01:13] <Flannel> BWARG: which command were you running when you got that error?

[01:29] <Pelo> IpSe_DiXiT, check in ff in the addon dialog, there is a tab for plugins, uncheck the ones you don't want and restart [01:29] <ActionParsnip> seil: its called super in linux ;) [01:29] <Pelo> brianV, how are you installing the nvidia driver ? [01:30] <ctmjr> brianV: how did you install the driver? [01:30] <Evelina> I want to check if characters of a sentence are like [:aplha:], hor do I do that? [01:30] <seil> ActionParsnip almost all new keyboards still have windows logo [01:30] <Evelina> I'm trying to discover characters not alphabetic.

[01:31] <brianV> Pelo, ctmjr: Using the restricted drivers manager [01:31] <Pelo> Evelina, out of my league [01:31] <Evelina> Pelo: Therefore I want a bash script to check whatever the characters are [:alpha:] or not.

[01:33] <brianV> Pelo: because I've been using nvidia cards for 10 years, and know the drivers [01:33] <IpSe_DiXiT> Pelo: done, nothingapparently its a totem plugin issue [01:33] <foey> slaczware : I had this problem a while back, it turned out to be the graphics card driver and res. I managed to get around it by dropping the colours to 15bit before I could install the correct driver [01:33] <blackettle> Any windows/Ubuntu dual booters willing to send me their grub.conf file or atleast the Windows portion of it? [01:33] <Pelo> IpSe_DiXiT, well , if I understood corectly that you need to get rid of the totem pluggin , I recommend you check in synaptic, and uninstall the totem-mozilla plugins, or whate ver it is called [01:34] <brianV> Pelo: any suggestions? Or just an accusation? [01:34] <slaczware> foey: ok thx, how often did this problem accure to you? [01:34] <Pelo> brianV, ok I'M a bit confused, you install the driver using the restricted driver manager and it works, then you cange nv for nvidia and it stops working , why are you changing nv for nvidia ( or the other way aroudn) === Moon_Doggy_ is now known as Moon_Doggy [01:35] <MTec007> if the boot logs are not stored in /var/log/boot then where can i find them? [01:35] <foey> slaczware : Not 100% of the time but quite frequent. Normally once it had just booted up. I could click the application button then nothing else?! Very strange. [01:35] <Pelo> brianV, I'M not making accusations, I'm just trying to understand the problem , I'm helping several ppl and doing my own stuff as well , I thought I understood your issue but clearly I don'T [01:35] <brianV> Pelo: Ubuntu has nv to begin with, right? if I install the nvidia driver with the restricted driver manager, I can't boot into X. I need to boot in recovermode, select the 'fix X graphics' or whatever link, then I can log in again [01:36] <brianV> Pelo: my apologies. I guess it's hard to judge intent across an IRC chat line [01:36] <KingNimrod> brianV: just use the drivers that work for you? [01:36] <Pelo> brianV, ahhhhh.

I've had simlar issues with ATi Cards in the past tho. I've always stuck with Nvidia with Ubuntu/Linux [01:37] <Pelo> brianV, your card may not be supported with the driver you are trying to use, try to select the 173 or the 96 one [01:38] <Prohibited> lol [01:38] <stepomaticc> blackettle: http://paste.debian.net/47789 [01:38] <brianV> Pelo: perhaps not. EnvyNG suggests the 180 driver supports it, though [01:38] <Prohibited> someones at work :P! [01:38] <brianV> Pelo: it's a GTS250, so I am pretty sure 180 does it [01:38] <ubuntu-the-best> i need help with GRUB [01:38] <slaczware> foey: yeah I also always use nvidia but on this laptop it's a ati card [01:38] <Pelo> IpSe_DiXiT, ok menu > system > admin > synaptic package manager, do a search for "totem mozilla" right click the package, select uninstall/remove , apply and see if that works [01:39] <brianV> Pelo, I am on 64-bit - would that change anything? [01:39] <ubuntu-the-best> is there anyone who knows how to use grub>>> [01:39] <foey> slaczware : :-( Try another driver, although first switch the colours down to 15bit. This helped for me. [01:39] <IpSe_DiXiT> Pelo: i knew how to do that :D i was just wondering if it was the right thing to do :D [01:39] <Pelo> brianV, I don'T know what works on what off the top of my head, you might want to take a look on the nvidia.com website, [01:40] <Pelo> brianV, my neighbour also has an issue with the nvidia drivers this was cause by her crappy mobo , with an via chipset on it [01:40] <ubuntu-the-best> Please, someone help me with grub. I don't understand it at all. [01:40] <mgv2> why does the english xchat spell checker goes away when i change my system language? [01:40] <Pelo> IpSe_DiXiT, if itdoesn'T work or cause trouble you can just put it back , no harm no foul [01:40] <brianV> Pelo: hm... this mobo worked in the past with a Geforce 7300 GS [01:40] <Pelo> ubuntu-the-best, what is the problem what do you need to fix ? [01:41] <Pelo> brianV, I'M just brainstroming here [01:41] <O__o> is there any softwares in ubuntu allow me to draw figures for highschool? [01:41] <ubuntu-the-best> i am trying to install Solaris on my desktop [01:41] <O__o> like sphere, cone, pyramid? [01:41] <Pelo> brianV, might also want to ask in #nvidia [01:41] <O__o> pie chats and stuffs? [01:41] <ubuntu-the-best> i put in the disk and grub comes up [01:41] <brianV> Pelo: it's truly appreciated. I am just evaluating the suggestions as the come out [01:41] <IpSe_DiXiT> Perlo: to be honest id love to uninstall it and put VLC plugin as a default player for firefox, can i do that? [01:41] <Pelo> !enter | O__o [01:41] <ubottu> O__o: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [01:41] <IpSe_DiXiT> Pelo: to be honest id love to uninstall it and put VLC plugin as a default player for firefox, can i do that? [01:41] <ctmjr> brianV: try the newer driver from nvidia 185 http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_amd64_185.18.36.html disable the restricted driver first tho [01:41] <slaczware> foey: hahah now i'm completely stuck in the terminal cant do anything :D :D :D [01:41] <Pelo> IpSe_DiXiT, look in synaptic , see if it is possible [01:42] <brianV> ctmjr: ok, that's my next step [01:42] <ubuntu-the-best> i don't know a thing about grub lol [01:42] <foey> slaczware : Why is that?

[01:42] <Pupuuuuu> linux puppy is best [01:42] <Pupuuuuu> linux puppy is best [01:42] <Pelo> ubuntu-the-best, you need to boot from the disc to do the installation , you 'll want to change the device boot order in your bios [01:43] <ActionParsnip> Pupuuuuu: +1 [01:43] <ubuntu-the-best> Pelo: I did. I even tried it on a virtual machine. It's Solaris that is forcing me into a built in grub on the installation disk [01:43] <Pelo> O__o, check in menu > applications > add/remove , look under the graphics senctions, or educationnal === idleone_ is now known as IdleOne [01:44] <Pelo> ubuntu-the-best, if the built in grub is on the install disc that is fine, you just pick the installer from that grub [01:44] <eaglestar> hi my friend could not remember his password for ubuntu, logged in as guest, typed some documents, saved them, now he can't find them. where would they be located? [01:44] <Pelo> ubuntu-the-best, the best place to ask about this would be in a solaris chatroom [01:44] <brianV> ctmjr: with a 64-bit OS, should I be downloading the AMD64 driver, or IA64? [01:44] <ubuntu-the-best> Pelo: how do I do that. It doesn't give me the usual menu. I have to write commads [01:44] <Pelo> eaglestar, guest documents are not saved [01:45] <ActionParsnip> brianV: same thing [01:45] <Pelo> ubuntu-the-best, that is a question for a solaris channel , not for ubuntu , it is their install system you are having problems with [01:45] <eaglestar> so is there any way to find the homework he wrote for school? [01:45] <ctmjr> brianV: the AMD64 driver [01:45] <ubuntu-the-best> i know, Solaris gets on my nerve because of that. I have ubuntustudio on my laptop and it is very user frindly. [01:45] <Pelo> eaglestar, it's gone [01:45] <D-rew> Wicked sick [01:45] <archae0pteryx> I am using a desktop remotely with nx and I can't get access to USB drives automatically, they do not show up on my desktop. Any ideas? [01:45] <marcus_> ActionParsnip: thanks for the link bro [01:45] <archae0pteryx> They are mounted [01:45] <SGottl7227> how do i set up a usb dial up.. [01:45] <marcus_> appreciate it, pz :) [01:45] <ubuntu-the-best> Pelo: do you know where I can go to the <<Solaris>> channel? [01:46] <ActionParsnip> marcus_: np man [01:46] <foey> Is there anyway once ubuntu starts up to enable the VNC server to allow VNC access before the machine has logged on [01:46] <xiong> "N packages will be held back and not upgraded." <-- This suggests to me I've done something wrong. What? [01:46] <Pelo> ubuntu-the-best, there is a #solaris channel on this network , try there , just type /join #solaris [01:48] <Pelo> g'night folks [01:48] <ubuntu-the-best> Thank you Pelo. Let me try the UNIX guys [01:48] <jordy240> !hi jordy240 [01:48] <ubottu> Sorry, I don't know anything about hi jordy240 [01:48] <ctmjr> eaglestar: did he log out yet or is he still logged in? [01:48] <steven__> The default keyring keeps popping up when I try to use Evolution or Thunderbird! Heck, even when I try to connect to wireless it comes up...why is this happening and how do I prevent it? To my knowledge, I never set a password or passphrase for a keyring [01:49] <eaglestar> ctmjr he logged out already [01:49] <Samus_Aran> steven__: it's buggy as all hell. my father's computer got that constantly. all I figured out is to erase the key and hope it doesn't screw up again in future [01:49] <KingNimrod> eaglestar: think your friend might be boned :( [01:50] <steven__> Is this going to be fixed with Ubuntu 9.10? [01:50] <eaglestar> KingNimrod thanks for the help guys [01:50] <steven__> How do I erase the key? [01:50] <xiong> eaglestar, Sorry, too late now. But suggest you set up regular user accounts for your friends. If they don't use them, they don't incur much overhead; you can leave them on your machine indefinitely. And if you create them with appropriate permissions, there's very little security risk. [01:50] <Samus_Aran> eaglestar: what filesystem ? [01:50] <brianV> how do I kill the X session so I can install the driver? [01:50] <Samus_Aran> eaglestar: you can restore files easily on Ext2/3 [01:51] <Samus_Aran> brianV: first off get comfortable with switching to the text mode and logging in. I recommend running irssi from there so you can ask questions [01:51] <brianV> Sakarias: I can do that [01:51] <steven__> How do I delete, disable or get rid of the key ring? [01:51] <Samus_Aran> brianV: Ctrl+Alt+F1 through F6 will take you to a text mode login, Ctrl+Alt+F7 should take you back to X [01:51] <brianV> Samus_Aran: oops, meant you - I can do that. Telinit 3 just doesn't seem to work [01:52] <brianV> Samus_Aran: the X server needs to be down to install the nvidia driver [01:52] <Samus_Aran> brianV: once there, use /etc/init.d/gdm stop [01:52] <MBD123_> Is it possible to install ttf files on Ubuntu? [01:52] <Samus_Aran> brianV: with sudo if you're not root [01:52] <ring0> is there a cli command for comparing two files?

Or, that's what I believe is the proper procedure [02:29] <brianV> ok, so it looks like this new GTS250 I bought is a paperweight.

I made some changes today, things didn't work, and I put them back to what I thought they were before [02:36] <cort> anyone here familiar with eucalyptus? [02:36] <PMantis> I see some instructions on the Ubuntu Wiki that says: "zcat remixusb.gz | sudo tee /dev/sdc1 >/dev/null" Now, if you redirect to /dev/null, WHY bother with tee? I don't get it. [02:36] <brianV> ctmjr: that is what I just did. I removed all the nvidia* packages prior to installing from the website [02:36] <brohism> When I try to ping, it is very laggy, and even trying to terminate it with ctrl+c causes it to hang for 15-20 seconds [02:37] <Flannel> PMantis: Because you want it to go to sdc1, you're redirecting the output from the display. === Squidy_ is now known as Squidy [02:37] <Kryo> hello everyone [02:37] <Bluey> howdy [02:37] <ctmjr> brianV: sudo apt-get --purge remove envyng [02:37] <ryguy> How do I connect a sensorbar to the computer to control my mouse with the wiimote as described in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CWiiD [02:37] <Kryo> any one know of a fix for the slow USB tranfers in 9.04?

[02:38] <PMantis> Flannel: Why not "zcat remixusb.gz > /dev/sdc1" ? No piping to tee, so nothing on display to get rid of that requires /dev/null... [02:38] <balsaqgoingforit> running 9.04 just popped the xubuntu disc in for fun now says would i like to open it with the package manager? what is going on wanted to dual partition it? [02:38] <ryguy> So I can just turn my wii on and move the sensor bar to under my monitor? [02:38] <Ben64> sensor bar is really an inaccurate name for it [02:38] <brianV> ctmjr: the fact that the same bug occurs regardless of which form of the driver I try makes me wonder if it's something system-specific [02:38] <brianV> ctmjr: ie, a hardware issue of some sort [02:38] <Ben64> ryguy: yeah, or make your own sensor bar [02:39] <Kryo> Bluey: I am using a USB card reader with a micri SD card, and transfers are really slow [02:39] <ubox> how are the intel gma chipsets with ubuntu?

Now that i have intrepid-backports should i keep that to be safe or backports are safe? [02:49] <Flannel> talkhouli: Backports are safe 'enough'? They're not tested as much, because fewer people use them. But they aren't untested. [02:50] <Flannel> talkhouli: Backports are only made for select programs though, so it's not like libc6 is going to get updated or anything [02:50] <Voss> dun, what version of wine are you using? [02:51] <talkhouli> Flannel, Aha. So If I want only selected programs to be downloaded from backports, is there a way to do that using apt pinning? [02:51] <ctmjr> brianV: if you can get a gui with the nv driver then the system is working it's the nvidia drivers that are messing you up i do not know what to tell you other than keep checking in #nvidia for help [02:52] <brianV> ctmjr: ok, well, I'll keep trying in there. Thanks for the help! [02:52] <Flannel> talkhouli: The easiest way to do it is to enable -backports, install the program updates, then disable backports. [02:53] <talkhouli> Flannel, Ok!

I should not have done a disk-to-disk backup first, then tried to burn that. Who knows what's going on. [03:11] <magikid> EricTheHax: at the command line: gnome-session-save --force-logout [03:12] <mahad3va> can any1 help? [03:12] <Shawn-> In Python is there a function that doesn't print text as if it were a console but instead can print it as a shape as if it were an image? [03:12] <Prohibited> hm,. [03:12] <joshjtl> does anyone use the iron browser? Is there a package for it? [03:12] <qnet03> chating [03:13] <xiong> snack_, I might not jump to that conclusion. Remove the new memory and confirm. [03:14] <xiong> If you still think it's the new memory, see if you can run with only the new memory -- substitute it for the old. Perhaps the issue lies with how much total mem, not with any given bit. That said, you may well be right. [03:14] <snack_> xiong: I've tried removing it and it does the trick. It starts like it should. I just think it's odd that the computer shows no errors, just a black screen. [03:15] <snack_> btw it's a laptop so only 1 memory slot i can touch ^ [03:15] <xiong> snack_, if the mem is bad, it may squat the bus and make everything impossible. [03:15] <snack_> xiong: good point [03:16] <snack_> xiong: It should make some sound or reboot though. [03:16] <xiong> Duplicity has no GUI, does it? [03:16] <grambo> hey [03:16] <jrib> xiong: I'm going to bed, good luck [03:16] <grambo> im on sabyon right now, was wondering if i can install with a pretty frickin old ubuntu CD and update it easily? [03:16] <xiong> Good night. [03:17] <snack_> xiong: best thing would be if I could get my hands on another ram to try instead to confirm. [03:18] <snack_> i guess. [03:18] <xiong> snack_, absolutely. [03:18] <xiong> Are you in the SF Bay Area? [03:19] <snack_> xiong: I wonder if a computer store will let me borrow one to try at the store ^_^ [03:19] <snack_> xiong: well well thnx for your ideas, thinking is always best when seen from different perspectives. [03:21] <snack_> xiong: I think Iv'e done about everything I can do at home =) [03:21] <AstroEl> where can i download the right fonts for Devanagari and other exotic alphabets?

[03:22] <ganymede> #xchat [03:23] <ganymede> hey, does anyone know if rsync works faster (e.g. transfers less data) if a client uses rsync to sync from a server running rsyncd versus if a client syncs the same remote directory but mounted over nfs? (e.g. should i add rsyncd to the server instead of only nfsd?) [03:23] <meoblast001> does anyone know of a PPA for nightly Firefox builds? === mac9416 is now known as macOut [03:24] <magikid> meoblast001: Yeah, http://bit.ly/bV05Q [03:24] <Hansard> anyone know how to find a more suitable wireless driver? My wireless is working but the signal strength and speed is much lower than in windows and it often disconnects [03:24] <grambo> im on sabyon right now, was wondering if i can install with a pretty frickin old ubuntu CD and update it easily? === oxocoffee is now known as Guest7078 [03:25] <Hansard> grambo: you have to upgrade from distro to distro... would be easier to download a new iso [03:25] <grambo> no blank cd [03:25] <grambo> or blank dvd [03:25] <xiong> So what happened to hubackup? Not available in jaunty? [03:26] <grambo> so apt-get doesnt have an upgrade [03:26] <shane2peru> does anyone know how to or with what to split a mpg video and shrink it's size? I was considering ffmpeg with command line, but not sure how? Any thoughts? [03:26] <magikid> grambo: It does but you can only go from one update to the next, you can't skip a few [03:26] <Hansard> grambo: Install Ubuntu from a USB stick https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick [03:27] <grambo> no usb stick [03:27] <grambo> :P [03:27] <grambo> ah [03:27] <Hansard> desert island?

[03:29] <xrfang> hello, the gnome menu editor crashed while I try to delete an obsolete item, and it corrupted my menu items, now I don't have any submenu under "Applications", how to get it back? [03:31] <magikid> shane2peru: actually, this might help more: http://bit.ly/LQaKZ [03:32] <shane2peru> magikid: thanks!!! that second one I think is more along the lines of what I was looking for [03:33] <shane2peru> magikid: looking to do about the opposite, but that gives the gist of how to make it work [03:34] <magikid> shane2peru: I've found better ways to do it before but I didn't bookmark them or anything [03:35] <balzac> Seems like the remote access utility is torn up in jaunty === ganymede_ is now known as ganymede [03:35] <balzac> all the tutorials i find on making it work are very technical involving the sabayon gnome conf gui which doesn't work out of the repositories, or using a command-line gnome conf utility or manually editing the configuration files [03:36] <balzac> that's pretty hairy for a newbie like me [03:36] <shane2peru> magikid: you don't know off hand what my -target should be for a web type video do you? mp4? or mpeg? What would be better? [03:37] <balzac> is there a simple solution to the "remote desktop" bug which says "Your desktop is only reachable over the local network"? [03:38] <magikid> shane2peru: not right off, no I don't [03:38] <kermit> why do i have a bunch of .deb files in /var/cache/apt/archives ? [03:38] <KingNimrod> balzac: is your firewall configured to let remote desktop connnections through? [03:38] <magikid> kermit: it's where apt stores downloaded .deb files [03:38] <shane2peru> magikid: ok, thanks for the links, much appreciated [03:38] <kermit> magikid: autoclean didnt remove them though :/ [03:39] <Legendre> So, anyone know about the new user creation issues in JJ? [03:39] <Legendre> how to fix them? [03:39] <magikid> kermit: then I think it means they're not available in the repos then [03:39] <Legendre> known issue/known fix?

I expect fake raid is faster but negligibly so... [04:06] <Ademan> in other words i want a second opinion [04:07] <Legendre> err.. software raid IS fake raid, isn't it? [04:07] <fearful> prappl93, 29 October [04:07] <Legendre> hardware vs. software raid. [04:07] <user_> rHARhA 16F . .

[04:08] <Ademan> Legendre: eh? fake raid is hardware supported software raid [04:08] <foey> Its always down to what RAID controller it is. Most cheap raid controllers just use a software based raid.

They are both 'fake' raid [04:10] <johnfg> hi guys [04:10] <ryguy> where would i go for gtk+ help [04:10] <fearful> !hi | johnfg [04:10] <ubottu> johnfg: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!

[04:43] <scott_ino2> like how hitting tab for names displays in the chat window but only you can see it [04:44] <foey> Is there a IRC client for the terminal?

[04:46] <scott_ino2> Docteh, virtualbox will [04:46] <scott_ino2> bling [04:46] <Docteh> kk [04:46] <nanotube> paipimenta: no beating the cli [04:47] <scott_ino2> Docteh, you do mean run a linux virtual machine from windows right [04:47] <nanotube> !virtualbox [04:47] <ubottu> virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer.

I'm looking at several 3d viewers [04:52] <blueglasses> xmnt, why would you need a bridged connection to see that? [04:52] <nanotube> Ben64: just look in the /etc/rcX.d directories and edit the links. or if you want a less manual solution, there is "sysv-rc-conf" [04:52] <jb_> why would my comptuer be really slow when i'm using allot of my hard drive? such as extracting an archive? [04:53] <KingNimrod> foey: are you using X? [04:53] <Docteh> foey: you're in a console and not running irssi within like Gnome Terminal? maybe you can fiddle with the frame buffer [04:53] <nanotube> Ben64: i think there's also a gui called "bum" [04:53] <nanotube> !bum [04:53] <ubottu> Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto [04:53] <Bluey> jb -- tar is NOT fast...

Can I ask why exactly you need to do that? [04:54] <Docteh> jb_: the I/O actions are taking up the CPU [04:54] <scott_ino2> im curious [04:54] <scott_ino2> what it is you're trying to do [04:54] <jb_> Docteh: but my cpu usage is low [04:55] <awfulwaffle> does truecrypt only run under the nautilus file manager? currently running pcmanfm and thunar didnt work either [04:55] <nanotube> jb_: he means to say, the i/o actions are taking up a lot of the i/o bandwidth. so other stuff that needs to read stuff off the hd gets slow. [04:55] <Docteh> jb_: run top and see what percentage is being used for "wait" while you're untarring something [04:55] <ksbalaji> nanotube, when I click screen resolution, I get error message - The X Server does not support the XRandR extension. Runtime resolution changes to the display size are not available. ! [04:55] <jb_> Docteh: k just a sec [04:56] <nanotube> ksbalaji: well, as i recall, that stuff was really kinda beta-quality in hardy. if you want the gui display settings to work, you gotta upgrade to at least 8.10, or better yet to 9.04. otherwise... you're stuck mucking around with xorg.conf manually... [04:56] <KingNimrod> foey: think that irssi just takes its size from the terminal you run it in. === ^Einstei1 is now known as ^Einstein [04:57] <alabd> scott_ino2 to know just how to do that [04:57] <neeroze> can any one help me to fix my wirless problem [04:57] <Legendre> Trying again.. ANYONE know about problems with creating new users under 9.04? I'm running into a number of problems / bugs.. [04:57] <alabd> scott_ino2 why do ask it? [04:57] <neeroze> i cant use my wirless device [04:57] <neeroze> hey guys help meout [04:57] <Docteh> Legendre: how are you creating them? [04:57] <foey> KingNimrod : Yeh, I've used Ctrl+F1 to bring up the console. It's not too bad, just used SuSE with a higher res console before. [04:58] <Legendre> Docteh: via the users/groups applet [04:58] <Bluey> legendre - how are you doing that? [04:58] <scott_ino2> alabd, im just wondering, because i don't know if that's even possible, I don't think it is. was wondering if you had a reason/function you were trying to perform [04:58] <Bluey> oh sorry will butt out [04:58] <Legendre> Docteh: Bluey: again, from the system's applet for users/groups [04:58] <ksbalaji> nanotube, thanks. Since I am not a techie type, I was worried about facing problems while upgrading. That's why I stick to LTS 8.04. But I feel now that my choices are narrowing down. [04:59] <Legendre> Bluey: by any means, do not butt out.. [04:59] <Bluey> Legendre -- I've had no issues let me try now [04:59] <scott_ino2> alabd, certainly not possible through virtualization as its well... virtualized so it's not real so it's not actually booting the same way somethign legitimately boots [04:59] <neeroze> hello ia ma waiting [04:59] <Docteh> Legendre: I actually don't use the gui much, but theres only like 3 possible problems with new user accounts that are possible unless the gui is making some up [04:59] <neeroze> i need help with my wirless problem [04:59] <neeroze> hello heelo [04:59] <leaf-sheep> ksbalaji: My opinions are -- Go with 9.04 -- I'd say 8.04 LTS is excellent for businesses that does not want to upgrade their linux system every 6 months. [04:59] <Legendre> Problem is, I can't create any new users unless I run the applet as sudo su root from a term [05:00] <Legendre> (or modify any users, for that matter) [05:00] <neeroze> guys help [05:00] <Docteh> thats odd, there should be a sudo button on that applet [05:00] <jb_> Docteh: tar is around 15-20% and i dont see "wait". [05:00] <KingNimrod> foey: I see what you mean - I'm used to a framebuffered console too [05:00] <Bluey> Legendre -- yup went system/admin/user and groups/ worked fine [05:00] <neeroze> i need help to fix wirless problem [05:00] <Docteh> Cpu(s): 0.0%us, 0.0%sy, 0.0%ni,100.0%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st [05:00] <starenki> howto make system network proxy settings effective without reboot? init.d/networking restart does not make the effect [05:00] <neeroze> is therer any1 who is reading ths [05:00] <Docteh> oh, "wa" i see [05:00] <neeroze> helllo guys [05:00] <jessie> I need some help with Grub issues,anybody available? [05:01] <Legendre> Bluey: not here.. I was expecting it to beg me with a p/w window before it ran, but it didnt [05:01] <alabd> scott_ino2 vawre can do that but virtual dont know , but vmware is not free [05:01] <Docteh> starenki: proxy settings are application specific usually [05:01] <Legendre> after that, all of the opts were greyed out [05:01] <Bluey> Legendre - did you hit unlock? [05:01] <Docteh> restart the app? [05:01] <ksbalaji> leaf-sheep, thanks for the suggestion. For not taking a risk of loosing data, Is an uprade better than a full install?

[05:01] <neeroze> hello [05:01] <alabd> gartral: vmware is not free ,except vmware and vb any case esle ? [05:01] <scott_ino2> alabd, id be interested to see how vmware actually handles "booting" physical OS installations. just seems odd [05:01] <neeroze> iam having problem with my wireless can any one help me out [05:02] <neeroze> a bit [05:02] <jessie> I log in and it dies, sigh :-) [05:02] <jb_> no wa catagory [05:02] <scott_ino2> alabd, you can get a free vmware license by registering [05:02] <Bluey> let me see if I can paste bin [05:02] <neeroze> hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelllllllllllllooooooooooooooooooooooooo [05:02] <KingNimrod> foey: hang on just looking something up... [05:02] <scott_ino2> or used to be able to at least [05:02] <Docteh> scott_ino2: you set the file name to be something like \\Devices\Yaddayadda [05:02] <nanotube> ksbalaji: try the newer version with a livecd first, make sure everything works. but yea, sticking with an LTS doesn't work for too long, as things get outdated/improved. [05:02] <Docteh> for vmware that is [05:02] <leaf-sheep> ksbalaji: In theory, it should be same. However, I always resort to full clean installation than upgrading because I have the tendency to try new things/packages all times. ^^ [05:02] <elninja> ksbalaji, If you don't want to risk losing data, your best option is backing it up.

[05:04] <foey> KingNimrod : Ahhh ok, will bookmark this and have a read through. Many thanks :-) [05:04] <ksbalaji> Thanks friends and bye! I shall back up ( got to buy a bigger HDD first) and go for fresh install. [05:04] <neeroze> hello [05:04] <neeroze> hello [05:04] <neeroze> hello [05:04] <Docteh> neeroze: I can give out hints but I don't know more than that ;) [05:04] <jb_> Docteh: either sync buffer sync page or 0 [05:04] <starenki> Docteh, any console app for instance [05:04] <FloodBot3> neeroze: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:04] <KingNimrod> foey: to answer your other question, I don't believe it's possible to view vt1 from X [05:04] <foey> KingNimrod : OK, no problems. Just would of been nice :-) [05:04] <Docteh> starenki: in console just fiddle with the environment variable that is set [05:05] <neeroze> i mean my wireless service is disabled [05:05] <Docteh> starenki: set |grep <nameofproxy> [05:05] <gartral> alabd: vmware Player is free, but i donlt like VMware, i like VB, which has 2 free versions, the free closed source, and the open source one, you want the closed source one from sun's website [05:05] <neeroze> is there any one using MSI CR400 model laptop [05:05] <KingNimrod> foey: you're welcome - I'll be reading it too. Didn't realise framebuffer wasn't the default until you mentioned it. [05:05] <neeroze> is there any one using MSI CR400 model laptop [05:05] <neeroze> is there any one using MSI CR400 model laptop [05:06] <FloodBot3> neeroze: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:06] <Docteh> zomgflood [05:06] <Docteh> !repeat [05:06] <ubottu> Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [05:06] <maxxist> Off-topic question for the channel. What is the state of ubuntu and EXT4? Anyone using it? are the performance gains worth it? I am asking because I know there was some problems with ext4 before. btw I am on jaunty. [05:06] <kermit> maxxist: xfs will get you everything ext4 does [05:06] <thiebaude> maxxist, use it know on 9.10 [05:06] <thiebaude> now [05:06] <kermit> ext4 is playing catch-up with xfs [05:07] <Docteh> neeroze: ubuntu does have a wiki with stuff like what laptop has what wireless card in it btw [05:07] <foey> KingNimrod : Yeh, I was using SuSE 11.1 the other day and the console was running a higher res, text was a lot smaller and smoother. [05:07] <starenki> Docteh, in the office I am using automated proxy script and not just single proxy [05:07] <maxxist> kermit: is xfs available in ubuntu installer? [05:07] <kermit> maxxist: yes [05:07] <alabd> gartral: so VB is downloading ,but how to boot another os from other partition ? [05:07] <gartral> alabd: dont know [05:07] <Docteh> foey: look up setting the framebuffer resolution, its a boot parameter and would go into the boot loader config file [05:07] <gartral> alabd: ask in #virtualbox [05:08] <Docteh> brb rebooting windows :D [05:08] <alabd> gartral: thanks [05:08] <alabd> scott_ino2 thanks [05:09] <foey> [05:09] <alabd> thanks everyone who helps others [05:09] <scott_ino2> alabd, np... like i said you used to be able to get free vmware licenses for personal use [05:09] <scott_ino2> not sure if they changed it [05:10] <alabd> ok thanks [05:10] <paipimenta> !dualboot [05:10] <ubottu> Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [05:10] <{Onyx}> Ok, this is annoying. Sound recorder recognizes my mic but Rosetta stone under wine isn't [05:12] <maxxist> kermit: sorry new question. xfs or zfs? === chaky_ is now known as chaky [05:12] <kermit> maxxist: i dont think zfs is a common option [05:13] <{Onyx}> Think I'm just going to pull this x-fi card. A little better music quality isn't worth not having a microphone [05:13] <maxxist> kermit: yeah i doesnt seem to be. but looking at wikipedia says xfs is 64 bit. and zfs is 128. seems a few OS's are trying to implement. even OSX... [05:15] <kermit> maxxist: xfs has been a standard part of linux for 6+ years now and does pretty much everything ext4 brags about.. you still have to go out of your way to use zfs [05:16] * gartral is still running ext3due to slow p/ata drives on his ubuntu comp [05:17] <maxxist> kermit: do you find xfs any more difficult to setup than ext3 ?? will I have to format my ext3 for xfs? I find this to be a nice feature of ext4(no need to format)... [05:17] <kermit> maxxist: no, you dont do anyhting different than just picking it from the menu [05:17] <maxxist> kermit: ty [05:17] <kermit> maxxist: err. if you already HAVE ext3 system, yeah you'd have to format [05:17] <kermit> maxxist: i thought you meant on an install [05:18] <maxxist> kermit: do you think the original ext4 kernel stability problems in ubuntu have been fixed? [05:19] <kermit> maxxist: i dont know, i dont like the way its so many years behind though, i prefer something more proven [05:19] <kermit> maxxist: yet that still has the featurse i want [05:19] <maxxist> kermit agreed. [05:19] <thiebaude> maxxist, in 30days ubuntu 9.10 is being released with ext4 by default [05:20] <kermit> also i still found ext4 to be much more disk heavy than xfs in a little test of writing a bunch of different files at once [05:20] <maxxist> thiebaude: so it must be fixed now. at least in the next kernel... [05:20] <mysteriousdarren> I hope so Im looking forward to trying it out anyway. [05:20] <thiebaude> maxxist, i didn't think it was broke i used it in 9.04 [05:21] <maxxist> thiebaude: good to know. thanx. [05:21] <thiebaude> maxxist, np [05:21] <flying_penguin> ext4 has been pretty stable for a while imo [05:21] <mysteriousdarren> I heard from several people there were some stability issues [05:21] <kermit> maxxist: xfs was made by SGI, who make high performance graphic systems for CGI effects in movies [05:21] <flying_penguin> i would choose it over xfs really [05:21] <thiebaude> flying_penguin, and its fast also [05:22] <maxxist> kermit: yeah i read that on wikipedia. [05:22] <LaveliDeara1> hlo [05:22] <kermit> i dont know of anything ext4 does that xfs hasnt done for 6 years now [05:22] <flying_penguin> but changing from ext3 to somthing new would be a huge headache if you want to keep your data [05:22] <kermit> flying_penguin: yeah not worth switching [05:22] <kermit> maxxist: are you switching or talking about a new install/? [05:22] <thiebaude> how many years has ext been around? [05:22] <LaveliDeara1> my have issues with sound [05:23] <maxxist> kermit: i am thinking about just switching. there is pages that describe doing the conversion. without formatting. [05:23] <mysteriousdarren> would you be able to use say ext3 to transfer to a ext4 external hard drive and be safe? [05:23] <user_> vigiiiiii [05:23] <kermit> maxxist: oh thast not worth it really [05:24] <maxxist> kermit: why not? would it not achieve the same in the end? [05:24] <flying_penguin> maxxist: the best way to do it if you really want to is offload your data, reformat, then bring it all back [05:24] <maxxist> yeah just so much work. plus I dont have a backup drive with enough space. [05:24] <LaveliDeara1> I was listening music in background, and in a minute all sound goes off, I installed pulseaudio and sound was back for system sounds, but still I couldn't play music [05:25] <LaveliDeara1> can anyone point me how to check what happened ? [05:25] <flying_penguin> if you are stuck on a single drive the process would be to resize the current partition, create the new one, then move the data from the old partition to the new one, then resize the old partition down to 0 [05:26] <flying_penguin> its not fun and there is a good chance you will lose some data anyway [05:27] <maxxist> flying_penguin: think i will stick with ext3 for a little while. until i can find a cheap backup solution. [05:28] <mysteriousdarren> what do u mean cheap? how much do u need? space? [05:29] <iboy1011> hi [05:29] <Axess_Denied> yo [05:29] <iboy1011> hello Axess [05:29] <iboy1011> I came here cause i can't get ubuntu to run on my laptop [05:29] <Axess_Denied> <----- Curious about Koala and PulsAduio issues [05:30] <Axess_Denied> What problems are you having iboy?

[05:31] <iboy1011> How do I do that? [05:31] <Axess_Denied> What kind of laptop do you have? [05:31] <ajhtiredwolf> iboy1011, right after the initial post screen usually you can press esc or f12 and a boot menu will come up [05:31] <iboy1011> It is a Hp pavilion [05:31] <Raydiation> when can we expect beta of karmic? [05:32] <thiebaude> Raydiation, Oct 1 thursday [05:32] <botux> good evening all [05:32] <Axess_Denied> I think as aj pointed out your option is F12 [05:32] <flying_penguin> iboy1011: you need to have created the usb distro as a live environment. just installing on the usb drive like it was a harddrive probably wont work if you switch computers you boot on [05:32] <Raydiation> thiebaude: k thx, in this case im waiting with downloading^^ [05:32] <ajhtiredwolf> flying_penguin, should work [05:32] <iboy1011> The usb drive works on my school's computers [05:32] <thiebaude> Raydiation, im eagerly waiting for alot of updates then [05:33] <iboy1011> I'll try the 'esc' button [05:33] <gartral> flying_penguin iboy1011 it WILL if you install LiLo too the usb drive!

I just had a headache getting it to run all my audio through HDMI [05:33] <ajhtiredwolf> iboy1011, try what i said, when your computer turns on look fo rsomething that says "press this key for boot options" or else when the computer starts perss the delete key to get into the bios and change the boot device to usb [05:34] <flying_penguin> gartral: personaly i can't stand lilo but i think you are right [05:34] <Axess_Denied> the other option is to enter bios and change your boot priority there [05:34] <gartral> flying_penguin: it's easier to install than GRUB2 [05:34] <wahnfrieden> hi [05:35] <wahnfrieden> hy [05:35] <Axess_Denied> Güten Tag wahnfrieden!

I'm currently looking at virtualbox [05:40] <LaveliDeara1> how can I check what's not correct with my audio ? [05:40] <wahnfrieden> WHERE DO I CLICK [05:40] <krang> I'd like something easy [05:41] <Axess_Denied> VBOX rules, krang [05:41] <KingNimrod> krang: I'd go with vbox... [05:41] <Flannel> wahnfrieden: For what? [05:41] <wahnfrieden> make sure you get the non-open source VBOX [05:41] <wahnfrieden> otherwise some features are disabled [05:41] <krang> KingNimrod, [05:41] <iboy1011> Hello, I'm back [05:41] <wahnfrieden> Flannel: which buttton [05:41] <krang> KingNimrod: What do you find is better than VMware or quemu about it? [05:41] <Axess_Denied> What are you talking about, wahnfrieden? [05:42] <wahnfrieden> Axess_Denied: I cant read what youve said to me [05:42] <iboy1011> The still can't boot from the usb drive with my laptop [05:42] <KingNimrod> krang: ease of use [05:42] <flying_penguin> krang: alot of ppl i know swere by vmware if you want to go full F/OSS i like zen but its not easy to configure [05:42] <iboy1011> I still can't boot from the usb drive with my laptop [05:42] <wahnfrieden> krang, is that the japanese name for that new c++ compiler [05:42] <KingNimrod> krang: and features - 3d is good [05:42] <Axess_Denied> krang: I also like that with Vbox you can boot multiple Vms and allow them each different priorities ovver your host system [05:43] <Axess_Denied> Thank you Flannel [05:43] <krang> Hmmm, sounds like the way to go. I'm definitely not interested in high performance server virtualisation, and ease of use is big. [05:43] <Axess_Denied> iboy: what did you try when you rebooted your laptop? [05:43] <krang> VirtualBox it is! Thanks all! [05:43] <iboy1011> I tried pressing 'esc' and 'f12' [05:43] <tehbaut> anyone know if theres a shortcut like ctrl+alt+[+/-] for temporary zooming of the mouse region? [05:44] <thiebaude> iboy1011, try f2 [05:44] <KingNimrod> tehbaut: do you use compiz? [05:44] <iboy1011> f12 didn't do anything. 'esc' only brought up some information [05:44] <{Onyx}> Cool got everything working great with speakers running through my x-fi card and mic through onboard [05:44] <Axess_Denied> Why don't we give him the URL to the HP Pavillion BIOS walkthrough? [05:44] <Axess_Denied> That might be a better idea... [05:44] <{Onyx}> What was the question? [05:44] <cvandyke> Hi all [05:44] <{Onyx}> I know HP BIOS well [05:44] <KingNimrod> tehbaut: if you do there is an exellent zoom feature [05:44] <cvandyke> does anyone here have experience loading tclkit in 9.04? [05:45] <thiebaude> {Onyx}, what is the f-key to enter bios setup? [05:45] <{Onyx}> f-10 [05:45] <thiebaude> iboy1011, f10 [05:45] <{Onyx}> f-9 when inside to load setup defaults and f-10 again to exit saving [05:45] <tehbaut> KingNimrod: how cpu/gpu intensive is it? [05:46] <KingNimrod> tehbaut: not very AFAIK [05:46] <tehbaut> I'm running an Intel Atom/Nvidia Ion [05:46] <Axess_Denied> iboy: try this URL http://www2.mustek.com/support/techdocs/bios.html [05:46] <Axess_Denied> this should tell you how to enter bios [05:46] <tehbaut> apt-get install compiz then? [05:47] <flying_penguin> tehbaut: compiz is pretty cumbersom imo [05:47] <{Onyx}> O yeah, iboy. You have to start tapping f-10 as soon as you hit the power button or you'll miss it [05:47] <Axess_Denied> you need to change your boot priority from CD-Rom or Hard Drive as the first option to USB or External Drive [05:47] <flying_penguin> and (mostly) useless [05:47] <tehbaut> btw, half of these screensavers run at poor framerates [05:47] <tehbaut> is that normal? [05:47] <{Onyx}> If you're still not able to hit it hit the power button and then hold down f-10 until it starts beeping like crazy [05:47] <Axess_Denied> Guys the HP BIOS is listed as F1, not F2, or F10 or Fme [05:47] <{Onyx}> I'd trust me over what you're reading. [05:48] <iboy1011> The link is not working for me [05:48] <Axess_Denied> Why? [05:48] <botux> hey guys im getting an error when i try to update packages by clicking the red arrow at the top of the screen can you assist [05:48] * {Onyx} spends 8 hours a day dealing with HP computers. [05:49] <Axess_Denied> iboy: at the blue splash screen, where it says HP, try pressing F1 a few times, if that doesn't work try F10 (but you need to do this before the computer begins the OS boot cycle) [05:49] <Axess_Denied> Onyx: I'm sorry for you [05:49] <iboy1011> Ok, I'll come back when that doesn't work [05:49] <{Onyx}> Me too. [05:50] <Axess_Denied> I spent about 8 hours a day messing with Tor and Privaxy... then I gave up because I see no use [05:51] <botux> hey guys im getting an error when i try to update packages by clikcing the red down arrow at the top of the screen [05:51] <Axess_Denied> Hey botux: what error are you getting? [05:51] <cvandyke> does anyone here have any experience with tclkit? [05:51] <{Onyx}> They had an opening for support positions directly working for HP and making like 15k a year more than I do now. [05:51] <Axess_Denied> Did you take it? [05:51] <{Onyx}> But I would have to move to Arkansas [05:52] <Axess_Denied> Arkansas!?! Gee golly... [05:52] <Axess_Denied> Hey, they do have some NICE hot springs [05:52] <cvandyke> raise plus lower cost of living... wow [05:52] <{Onyx}> Yeah, they've figured out us Midwesterners are as exploitable as Indians [05:52] <Don_Miguel> I liked Arkansas [05:52] <Axess_Denied> in this 'economic climate' [05:52] <tehbaut> is vnc built in? I only see remote desktop... [05:52] <Axess_Denied> Where are you now? [05:52] <{Onyx}> Missouri [05:52] <Axess_Denied> I lived in STL === bullgard is now known as bullgard4 [05:53] <{Onyx}> When I move I'm going back to a major metro area, not another redneck state [05:53] <cvandyke> yeah, I work for an indian company (not indian) [05:53] <Axess_Denied> I am in DC now! [05:53] <cvandyke> <Texas [05:53] <{Onyx}> I'd love to move to DC [05:53] <cvandyke> yee haw and all that [05:53] <oldboy> do you work at TCS? [05:53] <Axess_Denied> Indian like sitthing bull or ghandi? [05:53] <cvandyke> me? [05:53] <{Onyx}> I'd get my A+ certs and crap but I'd just be more overqualified for my current job. [05:53] <Axess_Denied> yessir [05:54] <{Onyx}> IT around here sucks. [05:54] <cvandyke> I left TCS in January [05:54] <Flannel> Hey guys, you mind moving the non-support conversations to #ubuntu-offtopic? Thanks [05:54] <cvandyke> sorry Flannal [05:54] <Axess_Denied> our bad [05:54] <Flannel> cvandyke: No worries, just a friendly reminder [05:55] <{Onyx}> I need to head to bed anyway. Have to be up for work in 6 hours. [05:55] <shentino> Anyone have problem with the numpad while using a PS/2 keyboard? [05:55] <{Onyx}> Do you have numlock enabled? [05:55] <shentino> yes [05:55] <{Onyx}> I'm using PS2 keyboard just fine. [05:56] <Axess_Denied> What is your mouse using? [05:56] <shentino> I installed jaunty while I had a USB keyboard. When it bit the dust I started using a PS/2 [05:56] <shentino> Mouse is on USB [05:56] <shentino> the numpad only works at the login screen, then stops working [05:56] <botux> Axess_Denied its rather large should i use pastebin? [05:56] <flying_penguin> shentino: i once spilled mt dew all over mine but i never found the config file that could fix that [05:57] <Axess_Denied> botux: does it give you a general description? [05:57] <{Onyx}> What a horrible waste of caffeine [05:57] <shentino> they keys are physically intact, since I can type numbers in at the login screen. But that part of the keyboard goes dumb right after that. [05:57] <{Onyx}> Did you check your keyboard layout? [05:57] <flying_penguin> {Onyx}: It was an orange one too. I was sad [05:57] <botux> kinda i cnat understand it [05:57] <Axess_Denied> Have youtried toggling the numlock just to refresh after login? [05:57] <gartral> shentino: hit NumLock... [05:57] <shentino> Ax: Yes [05:57] <shentino> gar: did that already [05:58] <shentino> numlock off and the "arrow" keys do diddly [05:58] <gartral> !tab | shentino [05:58] <ubottu> shentino: You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [05:58] <botux> Axess_Denied well its acting like it might work now lol [05:58] <shentino> numlock on and the numbers do squat [05:58] <shentino> onyx: let me double check... [05:58] <shentino> The keyboard layout is an exact match...even right down to the vendor and style. [05:59] <Axess_Denied> botux: always remeber to use ':-$ sudo' for apt-get and make sure you do upgrades as a user with those permissions or use fakeroot [05:59] <{Onyx}> Try w/o the mouse connected? [05:59] <flying_penguin> shentino: the kernel is pretty good at handeling keyboards now-a-days the problem is probably that it is broken but new keyboard are pretty cheap [06:00] <{Onyx}> Na, his keyboard works at the login [06:00] <Axess_Denied> flying-penguin: he says it works in login screen? [06:00] <Axess_Denied> It may be a driver issue.... Have you checked your config? [06:00] <shentino> Yeah, where it prompts me fur username and password [06:00] <flying_penguin> shentino: the numlock works at login? [06:00] <flying_penguin> or numpad [06:01] <shentino> Axess_Denied: be more specific. What config in particular? [06:01] <shentino> fp: yes [06:01] <shentino> I can type digits and use the numpad arrows [06:01] <Axess_Denied> checking... 1moment [06:01] <tehbaut> I cannot seem to connect to my ubuntu machine via VNC [06:01] <flying_penguin> shentino: what wm are you using? [06:01] <tehbaut> common issues? [06:01] <shentino> It could be kernel config, keyboard layout config, something in the Xorg.conf [06:01] <shentino> gnome [06:01] <flying_penguin> if it is gnome or kde i would guess that is messing with the configuration [06:02] <Axess_Denied> shentino: what distro are you using [06:02] <shentino> jaunty [06:02] <{Onyx}> Hmm, under keyboard prefs look and see if keyboard controls mouse is enabled [06:02] <shentino> vanilla install from the official CD [06:02] <shentino> Onyx: how suspicious...the numpad moved my pointer! [06:02] <botux> Axess_Denied not sure where to do that once i clcik red arrow and update manager comes up [06:03] <shentino> Onyx: FIXED [06:03] <{Onyx}> Yeah, go to keyboard prefs and under mouse keys disable it [06:03] <flying_penguin> there should be some kind of keyboard controll in the administration section of the gnome menu. that is where i would start [06:03] <{Onyx}> Google FTW! [06:03] <Axess_Denied> System > Preferences >Keyboard (default) [06:03] <shentino> That also solves the riddle of the jittery cursor :) [06:03] <{Onyx}> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766789 my google-fu rocks. [06:03] <flying_penguin> shentino: it was a wm issue then [06:03] <flying_penguin> ? [06:04] <shentino> I suppose [06:04] <shentino> the config was wrong. [06:04] <botux> axess_Denied it keeps saying some of the packages couldn't be retrieved from the server [06:04] <shentino> Though how in tarnation that option got set in the first place is beyond me [06:04] <Axess_Denied> That may happen, are you doing a distro upgrade? [06:05] <flying_penguin> shentino: ubuntu auto-configures a lot of stuff. theres plenty of room for bugs [06:05] <mgmuscari> hey, i have a question about resizing partitions... [06:05] <botux> Axess_Denied no just updating programs and apps that its telling me to update [06:05] <Axess_Denied> ...? [06:05] <{Onyx}> mgm be sure to back up all your stuff before you mess with partitions. [06:06] <flying_penguin> mgmuscari: im sorry [06:06] <mgmuscari> let's say i have my /home on a logical partition, and it's now preceded by a large block of contiguous empty space... can i resize my /home to utilize that space too? [06:06] <balsaq> treid to dual myself today but didnt work [06:06] <Axess_Denied> botux: double check your repositories (first) allow for third party and what not [06:06] <mgmuscari> hm [06:07] <botux> Axess_Denied how do it do that? [06:07] <mgmuscari> maybe i can put my swap there [06:07] <mgmuscari> ugh [06:07] <mgmuscari> these being logical partitions doesn't help [06:07] <flying_penguin> mgmuscari: you should be able to resize a logical partition into freespace wherever it is [06:07] <Legendre> Hey, I have a question.. Why was the Klansman wearing a pink robe? [06:07] <mgmuscari> it probably isn't safe to unmount /home... [06:08] <mgmuscari> i guess i'll have to use a live cd or something [06:08] <kermit> if it lets you, it's safe [06:08] <Axess_Denied> nah, I wouldn't [06:08] <Legendre> he forgot to separate his whites from his colors. [06:08] <kermit> it wouldnt let you if you were using it [06:08] <flying_penguin> Legendre: he probably washed it in the same load with his confederate flag [06:08] <mgmuscari> hm [06:08] <mgmuscari> brb [06:08] <botux> Axess_Denied how do i do that [06:08] <Axess_Denied> Well, in gdm he would be using it, right? [06:08] <Legendre> flying_penguin: almost [06:09] <kermit> Axess_Denied: i doubt gdm would be using any users' files who arent logged in [06:10] <botux> Axess_Denied here is a pastebin example of an error i get http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/281864/ [06:10] <iboy1011> Hi I'm back. I tried changing the boot order with 'f10' but my laptop still freezes after I plug my usb memory stick in [06:10] <botux> Axess_Denied i get several of these errors for different programs [06:11] <Axess_Denied> botux: here you are https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu [06:11] <{Onyx}> iboy, when are you plugging it in? [06:11] <iboy1011> Before I turn on the laptop [06:11] <{Onyx}> When does it freeze? [06:12] <{Onyx}> After the HP invent screen? [06:12] <Axess_Denied> Did you create a bootable USB drive in your other OS? [06:12] <iboy1011> When I see some options on the bottom of the screen like esc = information, f1 =... [06:12] <Axess_Denied> The USB drive has to be configured with the iso to allow it to autorun from BIOS [06:12] <iboy1011> Yea, I created it in my other OS [06:13] <tehbaut> I cannot seem to connect to my ubuntu machine via VNC (using System > Preferences > Remote Desktop) ... are there any useful troubleshooting tips for debugging this? [06:13] <Axess_Denied> Did you just drag and drop or did you create a bootable version? [06:13] <iboy1011> I created a bootable version [06:13] <Axess_Denied> k [06:13] <{Onyx}> Is USB boot enabled in BIOS? [06:14] <iboy1011> I don't remember seeing that option [06:14] <{Onyx}> It's in there. [06:14] <Axess_Denied> Under BOOT or BOOT PRIORITY on the top of the screen (usually) [06:16] <iboy1011> Ok, I'll try to find it. [06:16] <flying_penguin> iboy1011: some kernels wont boot from a live cd/usb on certain computers. try a different distro (Knoppix is my favorite for live environment) and see if that works [06:16] <tehbaut> so no one knows any vnc troubleshooting tips? [06:16] <MrHellmund> is there any wiki editing software from gnome? [06:16] <iboy1011> Ok [06:17] <r2wj1> What's the easiest way to share files between linux machines? [06:17] <incentifit> Is it possible to execute a command as a particular user without logging in as that user? For example, I'm thinking of sudo cp somefile tosomefile, but instead, someotheruser cp somefile tosomefile [06:17] <balsaq> i heard there is a specific type of ubuntu that is designed to make online videos play correctly right off the bat? anyone know the name of that ubuntu or has antone tried it? [06:17] <kermit> r2wj1: nfs [06:17] <r2wj1> Can I set that up with no terminal stuff? [06:17] <r2wj1> I don't mind the terminal, but my roommate is a newbie [06:17] <r2wj1> and he wants to share our files [06:17] <r2wj1> He loves netbook remix [06:18] <flying_penguin> r2wj1: woof is pretty simple === MrHellmund is now known as SrHellmund [06:18] <KingNimrod> incentifit: su username cp file1 file2 ? [06:18] <flying_penguin> if you like the terminal netcat is awsome [06:18] <Axess_Denied> balsaq: just dl Adobe Flash Player and uninstall swfc [06:18] <kermit> r2wj1: you might want the 'soft' option for what you're probably using nfs for [06:18] <r2wj1> what is woof? [06:18] <crackintosh> does anyone still have crappy hd flash video with an nvidia card? [06:19] <r2wj1> I normally use sshfs for my personal stuff [06:19] <Axess_Denied> It will work in Ubuntu - Kubuntu and Xubuntu also [06:19] <flying_penguin> woof is a simple web server for one off file transfers http://www.home.unix-ag.org/simon/woof.html [06:19] <paipimenta> I want to insert a tab at the command line [06:19] <r2wj1> But I want a really point and click friendly file sharing system [06:19] <paipimenta> is there a way besides pushing Tab? [06:19] <leaf-sheep> r2wj1: giver ? [06:19] <leaf-sheep> !info giver | r2wj1 [06:19] <ubottu> r2wj1: giver (source: giver): simple file sharing desktop application.

[06:19] <flying_penguin> nfs is better for a more perminate solution [06:19] <r2wj1> Well that's what I'm after [06:19] <r2wj1> He wants to access the media server downstairs [06:20] <r2wj1> (both are ubuntu) [06:20] <Axess_Denied> If you have media server try media tomb [06:20] <KingNimrod> paipimenta: you could use the space bar several times in a row ;p [06:20] <r2wj1> er, when I say media server [06:20] <flying_penguin> but woof or netcat are great for transfering a singe file. scp is probably my favorite though but for that you need to be able to login to the remote machene [06:20] <r2wj1> I mean.. it's a debian box with a big harddrive [06:20] <paipimenta> I'm in rescue mode, no filesystems mounted, I'm editing /etc/fstab [06:20] <Axess_Denied> try media tomb [06:20] <r2wj1> it's not actually running services on it yet.. that's why I'm here [06:20] <Axess_Denied> It usue upnp [06:20] <balsaq> Axcess_Denied: did the adobe d-load for ubuntu [06:21] <r2wj1> !info media-tomb | r2wj1 [06:21] <ubottu> r2wj1: Package media-tomb does not exist in jaunty [06:21] <Axess_Denied> balsaq: ubninstall swfc - it blocks much of the flash content and freaks out adobe [06:21] <Axess_Denied> Yes it does. [06:21] <KingNimrod> paipimenta: IIRC any whitespace will be ignored when the file is parsed [06:21] <Axess_Denied> Go to add/remove programs and open up you multiverses [06:21] <Axess_Denied> media tomb is there [06:21] <balsaq> Axess_Denied: ok is that how it is listed in my add remove...swfe? [06:22] <Axess_Denied> Then google it for proper configuration-they have a good wiki [06:22] <r2wj1> ta muchly [06:22] <paipimenta> I'm on my Ubuntu desktop, rescue mode [06:22] <paipimenta> I can't use vi, it's not loaded? [06:22] <paipimenta> I need to add a line to /etc/fstab [06:22] <paipimenta> with echo [06:23] <Flannel> paipimenta: vim is installed by default, (although it's vim-tiny). nano is too.

[06:23] <paipimenta> in "whatever", i need tab delimited text [06:23] <Axess_Denied> balsaq: make sure GNASH SWF Viewer is unistalled and also Swfdec Flash player [06:24] <Flannel> paipimenta: No, you can use spaces just fine [06:24] <paipimenta> when I push tab however, it uses the auto-complete function to clear the beginning quote of "whatever" [06:24] <paipimenta> Flannel: cool [06:24] <balsaq> Axess_Denied: looking in my add/remove file now thanks [06:24] <KingNimrod> paipimenta: \t is the escape char for tab, I think [06:24] <DigitalKiwi> yes [06:24] <Flannel> paipimenta: But, if you want to use tab, you'd need to do echo -e "foo\tfoo\tfoo\tfoo" [06:24] <Axess_Denied> balsaq: just type in flah in the search bar [06:25] <balsaq> Axess_Denied: yes did it, shows adobe and movie player [06:25] <Axess_Denied> *flash [06:25] <Axess_Denied> That is all? [06:25] <balsaq> yes [06:25] <Axess_Denied> hmmm [06:25] <balsaq> i am on 904 [06:26] <balsaq> ubuntu [06:26] <paipimenta> I don't see the -e option in man echo [06:26] <balsaq> was flash supposed to pull up the others too [06:26] <Axess_Denied> Do you have the dropdown that says all available applications on the left? or just installed applications? [06:26] <paipimenta> that's because it's a builtin? [06:26] <DigitalKiwi> -e enable interpretation of backslash escapes [06:26] <DigitalKiwi> maybe my man is better [06:27] <KingNimrod> DigitalKiwi: Meow! :) [06:27] <DigitalKiwi> nimrod was a beast [06:28] <balsaq> Axess_Denied: went back, clicked on all, put in the word flash and 3 came up now (media came in now with them) [06:28] <KingNimrod> DigitalKiwi: I never said he wasn't [06:28] <paipimenta> so would echo -e '/dev/volgroup/logvol\t/home\text3\tdefaults\t0\t0' would be fine? [06:28] <paipimenta> or do I need double quotes? [06:28] <paipimenta> all >> /etc/fstab [06:28] <Flannel> paipimenta: no, single qoutes is fine [06:28] <Axess_Denied> balsaq: in the upper-left there is a dropdown, it has options for which universes it is looking at. selest all available applications [06:29] <DigitalKiwi> why does nano not work for this? :/ [06:29] <flying_penguin> Flannel: no single quotes will literealy interperit the string paipimenta: you need double quotes [06:29] <Flannel> flying_penguin: no, bash isn't PHP [06:30] <DigitalKiwi> echo -e '/dev/volgroup/logvol\t/home\text3\tdefaults\t0\t0' (09-30 00:30) [06:30] <DigitalKiwi> /dev/volgroup/logvol /home ext3 defaults 0 0 [06:30] <balsaq> Axess_Denied: yes, i did ALL, installed programs, then typed in flash, then it shows 3 of em [06:30] <DigitalKiwi> the I are proof [06:30] <balsaq> do want the ones that are not installed too [06:30] <flying_penguin> Flannel: oh, your right echo dosnt literaly interperit the sting [06:30] <Flannel> flying_penguin: Only with -e [06:30] <flying_penguin> i just tryed it [06:30] <flying_penguin> but it should [06:30] <flying_penguin> oh well [06:31] <Axess_Denied> what are you using for a/c? [06:31] <Axess_Denied> *a/v? [06:31] <DigitalKiwi> you are right on a general concept of single quotes but not in this instance ;p [06:31] <flying_penguin> im used to writing C [06:32] <flying_penguin> but really echo should follow the standard [06:32] <balsaq> Axess_denied: ok got it now...lot of em in there under flash [06:32] <balsaq> so get rid of the 3 you mentioned [06:32] <balsaq> ? [06:32] <flying_penguin> sed and grep properly phrase quoted stings [06:33] <Axess_Denied> If they are clicked (check mark) remove them [06:33] <Axess_Denied> Keep Flash Player 10 [06:34] <balsaq> Access_Denied: i am total dork newbie...when i uncheck them will the completetly disapper or will the still be in there but just unchecked, in case i need them later? [06:34] <darksmac> hey guys just because i think it would be funny is there any music players from command line [06:34] <emergion> I have dual monitor set up and wondering if anyone has figured out a way to get a differrent wallpaper for each monitor under ubuntu running gnome? Each monitors have a serperate resolution [06:34] <DigitalKiwi> darksmac: yes [06:34] <ZykoticK9> darksmac, music123 [06:34] <flying_penguin> darksmac: mplayer is the only meadia player i use [06:34] <DigitalKiwi> ncmpcpp+mpd is the best [06:35] <flying_penguin> or rather the one i use the most [06:35] <darksmac> DigitalKiwi: cool !! he [06:35] <mysteriousdarren> I have a more complicated question....what is a good debugger, compiler for programming in C++? [06:35] <DigitalKiwi> http://omploader.org/vMjgyag [06:35] <darksmac> DigitalKiwi: im trying to force myself to use only command line because of my new server [06:35] <Axess_Denied> balsaq: they will stay there unchecked === DaBlubb is now known as Lemontree [06:35] <DigitalKiwi> get htop [06:35] <balsaq> Axess_Denied: if i uncheck then will their names still appear in there incase i want them back someday? [06:35] <lstarnes> mysteriousdarren: the de facto standards are gdb for debugging with valgrind for profiling and gcc/g++ for c and c++ compiling === Lemontree is now known as DaBlubb [06:36] <DigitalKiwi> that is the program in the top of that screen [06:36] <Axess_Denied> They are in the repository, they will be there in the future [06:36] <balsaq> Axcess_Denied: ok thanks my screen doesnt always roll up leaving me out of it for a moment thanks === KingNimrod is now known as Nimrod [06:36] <flying_penguin> darksmac: deffinatly love the command line number 1 thing to do is learn to use gnu screen [06:36] <lstarnes> mysteriousdarren: those are cli utlilties though, not full IDEs [06:36] <balsaq> so i will just do the 3 [06:36] <Axess_Denied> balsaq: were they checked? === DaBlubb is now known as Lemontree [06:37] <balsaq> looking === Lemontree is now known as DaBlubb [06:37] <Axess_Denied> if not... you may have a driver issue. What kind of graphics card do youuse? [06:37] <mysteriousdarren> what about kdevelop? [06:37] <oddity> Has anyone compiled Tomato for a linksys> [06:37] <oddity> ?

[06:38] <darksmac> flyingpenguin: im pretty good on it now finally learned how to use "tty" screens [06:38] <balsaq> Axcess_Denied: the only ones that are checked are macro, adobe and movie [06:38] <oddity> you need to run make after you extract it [06:38] <DigitalKiwi> gnu screen is awesome [06:38] <Axess_Denied> balsaq: it may be a driver issue [06:38] <darksmac> flyingpenguin: need more comfort knowing when to use sudo really trying to not sudo eerything [06:38] <DigitalKiwi> i have tomato on my linksys i never had to compile anything... [06:39] <darksmac> DigitalKiwi: lil to complicated for me [06:39] <oddity> you never had to run make on it? is it above 1.23? [06:39] <DigitalKiwi> darksmac: you use sudo only when you get permission denied ;) [06:39] <Axess_Denied> balsaq: what graphics card do you have and what sound card? [06:39] <DigitalKiwi> darksmac: what's too complicated? [06:39] <flying_penguin> darksmac: http://www.gnu.org/software/screen/ its a pretty steep learning curve but once you get used to it you will wonder how you ever lived without it [06:39] <Keiffer> hi. how can i make ssh to use files from other folder than ~/.ssh ? my /home get mounted AFTER i log in... [06:39] <darksmac> DigitalKiwi: iono how to even start screen [06:39] <DigitalKiwi> basics of screen are simple [06:40] <darksmac> DigitalKiwi: can i dl it from aptget [06:40] <sanchiro> how can I find the log file containing boot error messages, It flies by too fast during bootup, but I want to resolve any boot time issues. Where can I find this log file? [06:40] <DigitalKiwi> ofc [06:40] <lstarnes> darksmac: sudo apt-get install screen [06:40] <paipimenta> when I'm at the most basic prompt in rescue mode (ls and such work), what editor can I use? [06:40] <balsaq> Axess_Denied: 8mb ati and the sound was turtle neachmontego but when i wiped w98 clean and put in ubuntu i did not put the sound CD thing in, but my sound is great thru my altec lansings [06:40] <Nimrod> sanchiro: look in /var/log [06:40] <darksmac> DigitalKiwi: ok now say i wanted to start music 123 that i just dl [06:41] <Axess_Denied> balsaq: I ran into SEVERE issues with my ATI HDMI setup, but my audio and video come through the same digital dat-stream === digen_ is now known as digen [06:41] <balsaq> Axcess_Denied: the only thing w98 did right on this puter was run youtube, so i know the puter itself can do it [06:42] <Axess_Denied> balsaq: telling 'nix to do it is key though! [06:42] <DigitalKiwi> screen program to start a program in it, or just screen then you are in it, ctrl+a d to detach, screen -R -D to reattach, ctrl+a + space/number/ctrl+a (to go to previous one) to change screen window, ctrl+a c to make a new window, uh...man screen for more [06:42] <Axess_Denied> balsaq: can I pm you? [06:42] <balsaq> Axess_Denied: sure [06:43] <paipimenta> I'm in rescue mode and I've mounted my root at /mnt/lvroot... how do I find vi and run it manually? not being detected as a command in /bin/sh [06:43] <paipimenta> gotta edit /grub/grub.conf [06:43] <DigitalKiwi> didn't flannel say vim was installed by default? [06:44] <paipimenta> omg [06:44] <paipimenta> do you know what you're talking about or no? [06:44] <sanchiro> Nimrod, any particular file I should examine? boot is empty.. bootstrap.log is populated, but it's not showing much.. [06:44] <DigitalKiwi> vim != vi [06:44] <paipimenta> I am in a MINIMAL rescue mode prompt [06:44] <flying_penguin> paipimenta: try /usr/bin/vi from command line. if that dosnt work try nano instead [06:44] <Flannel> DigitalKiwi: It is. vim-tiny anyway [06:44] <paipimenta> DigitalKiwi: thanks for the clarification [06:45] <DigitalKiwi> Flannel: what is vim-tiny? [06:45] <sanchiro> Nimrod, would it be dmesg? [06:45] <flying_penguin> I'll never understand why vim-tiny is packaged w/ ubuntu instead of vim-full [06:45] <Flannel> DigitalKiwi: it's a stripped down version of vim, not much like vim at all [06:45] <flying_penguin> that was a crappy desition [06:45] <Nimrod> sanchiro: I was thinking of boot [06:45] <Flannel> flying_penguin: just vim, not vim-full. And because there's no reason for most people to have a full vim that they'll never use. [06:45] <nomnex1> is it the place to ask for advice installing ubuntu on notebooks? [06:46] <DigitalKiwi> Flannel: giggle, yet it comes by default with gnome ;D [06:46] <flying_penguin> Flannel: theres no reason to put in a stripped down version when vim is already pretty small [06:46] <paipimenta> so if root is mounted at /mnt/lvroot.... it'd be /mnt/lvroot/usr/bin/vi [06:46] <Flannel> DigitalKiwi: not ubuntu-desktop though [06:46] <flying_penguin> its not like the full version is going to swallow up much space [06:46] <paipimenta> isn't vim and vi just the visual interface for an older tool????? [06:46] <paipimenta> the exec prompt? [06:47] <DigitalKiwi> Installed Size : 4936.00 K [06:47] <DigitalKiwi> my vim [06:47] <DigitalKiwi> dunno what ubuntus would be :/ [06:47] <flying_penguin> paipimenta: ed was the original text editor but vi was more than just a ed controller [06:47] <paipimenta> when you push colon, that prompt is an old unix tool.... [06:47] <Nimrod> !ask | nomnex1 [06:47] <ubottu> nomnex1: 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. :-) [06:47] <paipimenta> it wasn't ed, it was something else [06:47] <Flannel> flying_penguin: vim is an extra 6.5MB [06:48] <paipimenta> oh man, I deleted that O'Reilly vim book [06:48] <flying_penguin> Flannel: thats less space than a mp3 of in-a-gadda-da-vitta [06:48] <simonb_> hi guys... sorry if this Q is not quite ubuntu related... BUT: i'm tryin to expand my WEP protected wireless coverage with an AP under "repeater" mode... if i setup for the repeater other SSID, wireless area, that users can connect to, what happens with the "original WEP decryption" from the main AP? [06:48] <Flannel> flying_penguin: You only get 700MB for the install CD, space is limited. [06:48] <sanchiro> Nimrod, it says "nothing has been logged yet" [06:48] <simonb_> do i need to use the same ancryption or what? [06:49] <Nimrod> sanchiro: yeah, that's what mine says too - sorry. [06:49] <Flannel> flying_penguin: That is, the Desktop CD [06:49] <flying_penguin> if they are able to fit kde on some live cds then they could find space for vim [06:49] <Flannel> flying_penguin: KDE goes in place of Gnome [06:49] <flying_penguin> they are both bloted [06:49] <Flannel> flying_penguin: Anyway, we've gotten offtopic, if you'd like to continue this discussion, I'd be glad to do so in #ubuntu-offtopic [06:50] <flying_penguin> Flannel: not a huge deal just blowing off some steam [06:50] <chrome> woot, pidgin can connect to my corporate office communicator IM [06:50] <paipimenta> Damn It was ex\ [06:50] <paipimenta> ex [06:51] <flying_penguin> i cant tell you how many times i wanted vim when i was on an ubuntu livecd [06:52] <nomnex1> sorry about it, Panasonic let's Note (notebook) CF-F8 or CF-F7, do all the functions works out of the box either with Ubuntu 9.04 or the future 9.10? I am currently on 9.04 on a older CF-W2 (year 2003). No FN key, Intel chipset problem, etc. [06:52] <pallid> how many? === RonaldH is now known as Ronald [06:52] <darksmac> any one in here got any experience setting wlan into ap mode [06:53] <DigitalKiwi> darksmac: if you're going to be in cli a lot zsh is awesome [06:53] <darksmac> zsh? [06:54] <DigitalKiwi> alternative shell [06:54] <DigitalKiwi> has much better tab completion and other perks over bash [06:54] <DigitalKiwi> faster too iirc [06:54] <darksmac> o0o0 [06:55] <darksmac> ok [06:55] <darksmac> mebe ill try it [06:55] <flying_penguin> bash has a much better context for scriping [06:55] <darksmac> i just started playing with screen [06:55] <darksmac> still getting used to it [06:55] <mgmuscari> can anybody tell me what the deal with the following fsck output is: [06:55] <darksmac> not bad though [06:55] <mgmuscari> http://paste.ubuntu.com/281886/ [06:55] <pipegeek_> wonderful thing, screen [06:55] <mgmuscari> all my partitions are clean and mounted... [06:55] <flying_penguin> and bash can be configured to tab compleat just like zsh but i cant say i would want it it on my comp [06:56] <Boohbah> flying_penguin: bash is in fact configured to tab-complete by default === pipegeek_ is now known as pipegeek [06:56] <DigitalKiwi> i doubt you can get every feature of zshs tab completion in bash, and even getting some of its defaults in bash would be hairy at best [06:56] <Keiffer> guys, what key/keys do i need from ssh folders to use to connect from another machine? [06:56] <Boohbah> DigitalKiwi: is zsh's tab-completion different from bash's? [06:56] <nomnex1> nobody on a Sony/Thoshiba/Panasonic notebook here? I am curiouse if you can use FN keys, wireless and if you don't have trouble with graphic card [06:56] <DigitalKiwi> Boohbah: yes [06:56] <pipegeek> also I've grown fond of autocd [06:57] <Keiffer> the host priv/pub key pair or the user pair? [06:57] <Boohbah> Keiffer: .ssh/id_{d,r}sa.pub [06:57] <Keiffer> Boohbah, I don't know why, but I am using the piravte key to connect [06:57] <Boohbah> Keiffer: you accept the host key from the host the first time you connect, you authenticate using your personal public key [06:57] <DigitalKiwi> http://friedcpu.wordpress.com/2007/07/24/zsh-the-last-shell-youll-ever-need/ [06:57] <DigitalKiwi> read that and be enlightened [06:57] <Boohbah> Keiffer: copy the public key to the remote host [06:58] <KoolD> hey guys just wanted to know something...if i press ctrl+z when a console application is running, does the application stop or is it just hidden in the background and keeps working? [06:58] <darksmac> hto you reattach screen [06:58] <DigitalKiwi> screen -R -D [06:58] <pipegeek> KoolD: the application gets SIGSTOP [06:58] <darksmac> o00 [06:58] <Keiffer> Boohbah, why can I still connect with the private key?? [06:58] <flying_penguin> KoolD: C+z freezes the process [06:58] <Keiffer> on putty [06:58] <pipegeek> which means it stops running until you background it (by typing 'bg') or bring it back into the foreground [06:59] <DigitalKiwi> well there are several ways to reattach but that is the way a lot of people like best [06:59] <flying_penguin> it is not running but can be resumed in the forground or the background [06:59] <DigitalKiwi> including the author [06:59] <mgmuscari> oh, i guess this is just an outdated /etc/fstab [07:00] <Boohbah> Keiffer: the private key stays on your local machine [07:00] <mgmuscari> i don't want to mount that partition anyway... problem solved [07:00] <KoolD> fkying_penguin: is there a way to just hide the process in the background...or is there other way running ncurses applications from ssh using different pc's [07:00] <darksmac> how do i completly exit it im accidently runniny 2 screen sessions at one time [07:00] <sterlin> whats the latest 3gs 3.1 baseband? [07:00] <pipegeek> darksmac, as in, one inside the other? [07:00] <pipegeek> just ^D out of the inner one [07:00] <flying_penguin> KoolD: if running the process from the comand line you can just issue the command with an & after it [07:01] <mgmuscari> i just came up with an idea for something i want to do - take a small partition on my hdd and put DSL on it [07:01] <flying_penguin> or you can Ctr-z then type bg to daemonize the program [07:01] <darksmac> no 2 side by side i started one then detached then started another [07:01] <mgmuscari> so that i can have a really fast boot time linux when i need it [07:01] <mgmuscari> anybody else run a setup like that? [07:01] <sterlin> Does anyone know? [07:01] <mgmuscari> wondering how useful it actually is... [07:01] <KoolD> flying_penguin: so typing bg... restarts the app [07:01] <Boohbah> mgmuscari: no, but you can make any linux boot fast [07:01] <mysteriousdarren> what exactly? [07:02] <pipegeek> darksmac, well, to get rid of the one you're not attached to, open another terminal, type 'screen -ls' to list the running sessions, then "screen -x <session id>" to connect to the one you want [07:02] <pipegeek> then just ^D out of it [07:02] <sterlin> mysteriousdarren: what the latest 3gs baseband is [07:02] <mgmuscari> sterlin: i think this is the wrong place to ask about iphone support... i did jailbreak 3.1 on my 3G last night, though [07:02] <Boohbah> mgmuscari: http://lwn.net/Articles/299483/ [07:02] <flying_penguin> KoolD: it unfreezed the app in the background [07:02] <darksmac> ok [07:02] <flying_penguin> fg unfreezes it in the forground [07:02] <sterlin> mgmuscari: oops my bad wrong channel [07:02] <KoolD> flying_penguin: ok....thanks === Nimrod is now known as nimrod|away [07:03] <mgmuscari> Boohbah: interesting article [07:03] <darksmac> 1 last thing how to i close a bash window [07:03] <darksmac> 1 screen like 4 " [07:03] <DigitalKiwi> exit? [07:03] <pipegeek> darksmac, as a sidenote, it makes it less confusing to manage multiple simultaneous screen sessions if you name them. That is, you can create a screen session with "screen -S someSessionName" and then connect to it later with "screen -x someSessionName" [07:03] <mysteriousdarren> oh [07:03] <darksmac> ok [07:03] <pipegeek> darksmac, type 'exit' or hit control-d [07:04] <flying_penguin> darksmac: exit will close out the term but you can just x out of the window and screen will keep the session running [07:04] <DigitalKiwi> detach first [07:05] <pipegeek> DigitalKiwi, is that strictly necessary? [07:05] <darksmac> thats nice getting the hang o fit [07:05] <darksmac> it [07:05] <pipegeek> :) [07:05] <DigitalKiwi> it's not necessary but you should [07:05] <pipegeek> y zat [07:05] <darksmac> now i need to work on my typing if imma be typing all day [07:05] <pipegeek> hh [07:05] <mgmuscari> if i just extract DSL to a small partition and point grub at it, do you think it would work? (anybody) [07:05] <pipegeek> *heh [07:05] <DigitalKiwi> mgmuscari: no [07:06] <albertxiaoyu> I have a problem [07:06] <mgmuscari> i mean the distrobution that they put on usb drives [07:06] <mgmuscari> hm [07:06] <flying_penguin> pipegeek: screen used to have problems with crashing if it detached improperly but i havent had that happen since red hat 7 [07:06] <pipegeek> aaah [07:06] <pipegeek> good to know [07:06] <mgmuscari> DigitalKiwi: any particular reason it wouldn't? i'm not so much of a systems guy... [07:07] <pipegeek> mgmuscari, I don't know what's in the dsl blob, but if it's a complete system image, I don't know why it wouldn't work [07:07] <mgmuscari> pipegeek: that's what i was thinking [07:07] <DigitalKiwi> it leaves programs running in it hanging waiting for input or something...like irssi is the example i've been told [07:07] <pipegeek> so long as you configure grub right [07:07] <mgmuscari> there's an image you can download and pop onto a thumbdrive; it's like 50mb [07:08] <paipimenta> speaking of configuring grub....... [07:08] <mgmuscari> DigitalKiwi: how do you mean? because it's not booting off of a pen drive? [07:08] <pipegeek> oh, as in a bootable disk image? Yeah, so just dd it into the partition and then chainload it from grub [07:08] <paipimenta> I'm trying to finalize moving my /home to a new logical volume [07:08] <DigitalKiwi> i wish i could get deli linux working in Vbox :( [07:08] <paipimenta> I followed a fedora howto (since I had F11 on my pc a week ago) and I can't find grub.conf [07:08] <paipimenta> http://fedorasolved.org/Members/zcat/a-new-home/a-new-home [07:08] <pipegeek> dd is dangerous stuff, though---make sure your partition's big enough so you don't accidentally write past the end [07:09] <Docteh> !grub [07:09] <ubottu> GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto === per is now known as Guest85955 [07:09] <mgmuscari> yeah it's about 300 mb [07:09] <mgmuscari> dsl should be like 50mb [07:09] <pipegeek> paipimenta, check /boot/grub/menu.lst [07:09] <flying_penguin> paipimenta: fedora and ubuntu usualy use a file named menu.lst instead of grub.conf [07:09] <albertxiaoyu> Is anyone can give some help ? [07:09] <DigitalKiwi> deli uses pacman though for package management [07:09] <paipimenta> menu.lst!!! perfect.... [07:09] <DigitalKiwi> which is instant win [07:09] <mgmuscari> hmmm would i have to set the boot flag? [07:09] <pipegeek> albertxiaoyu, ask your question [07:09] <mgmuscari> no, right, because i'm chainloading... [07:10] <pipegeek> mgmuscari, zackly [07:10] <Guest85955> ... [07:10] <flying_penguin> alot of ppl swear by pac man [07:10] <DigitalKiwi> flying_penguin: for good reason [07:10] <pipegeek> what's so cool about pacman? don't know squat about arch === monteith_afk is now known as monteith [07:11] <liberion> anyone here? [07:11] <Guest85955> here [07:11] <pipegeek> yo [07:11] <DigitalKiwi> i don't want to get yelled at :( but check their wiki or /msg me or join their channel [07:11] <flying_penguin> the best package management software i ever used was portage but the developers screwed that up years ago [07:11] <darksmac> hey guys im currently running ubuntu-sever i installed with 2.6.28-11 but did a dist-upgrade to 2.6.28-15 but when i boot i cant see my 2.6.28-15 on the grub boot menu any ideas on how to fix this [07:11] <pipegeek> :`( [07:11] <mgmuscari> i'm not sure i feel comfortable using dd to do this [07:11] <mgmuscari> hm [07:12] <flying_penguin> mgmuscari: careful with dd [07:12] <DigitalKiwi> just do a standard install [07:12] <darksmac> i run uname -r and it still says 2.6.28-11 [07:12] <Guest85955> 안녕 [07:12] <pipegeek> mgmuscari, just do: "sudo dd if=<disk image> of=/dev/sda5" or whatever [07:12] <inertial> flying_penguin: could you use portage to build cross platform tools? [07:12] <pipegeek> nothing wrong with using dd [07:12] <albertxiaoyu> How to use gcc to write assembly languages ? [07:12] <mgmuscari> right, just makes me nervous :D [07:12] <mgmuscari> lol [07:12] <liberion> im setting up an apache web server and inserted my files into /var/www/ but i cant see them,what do i need to do?? [07:12] <mgmuscari> my /home is right after this partition... [07:12] <pipegeek> you can screw things up with it, but you can also screw things up with, like, a hammer [07:13] <Guest85955> はじめましで [07:13] <pipegeek> hehe [07:13] <prince_jammys> i generally screw things with a screwdriver [07:13] <mgmuscari> right so i'm hammering a nail into the wall next to my priceless work of art [07:13] <flying_penguin> inertial: i only ever used portage with source packages so it was pretty easy to set up cross compiling (although thats never the most reliable method) [07:13] <pipegeek> I prefer a socket wrench [07:13] <Guest85955> 我是 [07:13] <pipegeek> haha [07:13] <mgmuscari> pipegeek: i second that, i feel more comfortable under my car [07:13] <pipegeek> :) [07:14] <inertial> flying_penguin: back when i used gentoo i only ever set up portage to build stuff for my system.. not for cross platform tools.... just was wondering if it was possible [07:14] <Guest85955> 谢谢 [07:14] <kielanmatt> hey [07:14] <flying_penguin> inertial: it can be done but i would avoid it for the most part [07:14] <kielanmatt> why doesnt my kernel upgrade to 31 from 27 [07:14] <kielanmatt> ??? [07:14] <Guest85955> who? [07:14] <inertial> albertxiaoyu: you can just specify the assembly file on the command line [07:14] <kielanmatt> cause i jsut went up to karmic [07:15] <Boohbah> kielanmatt: /join #ubuntu+1 [07:15] <kielanmatt> cause my nvidia drivers couldnt instal [07:15] <albertxiaoyu> ? [07:15] <Boohbah> kielanmatt: there is no karmic support in this channel [07:15] <Boohbah> kielanmatt: until the end of the month [07:15] <kielanmatt> yeah [07:15] <kielanmatt> but it happened on jaunty [07:16] <Guest85955> how many chatting channel exist in this server? [07:16] <Jyxt> does anyone use audacity? [07:16] <Guest85955> who know [07:16] <Boohbah> Guest85955: type /list to find out [07:16] <lobak> hello [07:16] <jussi01> Guest85955: #ubuntu-offtopic perhaps [07:16] <mgmuscari> hey, can't i specify a maximum number of blocks to write with dd?

[07:18] <pipegeek> sweet [07:19] <kielanmatt> sudo apt-get install kernel-headers-$(uname -r) IT DOESNT WORK [07:19] <kisuke> jyxt i ran it on win vista 32 havent gotten my good PC back from shop to up grade to ubuntu, i'll try and help though [07:19] <pipegeek> mgmuscari, should have mentioned it earlier, but if all you want to do is play around with dsl, it might be easier and more convenient to use the KVM virtual machine [07:19] <flying_penguin> Jyxt: had that problem befor. it took a bit of work to get it running [07:19] <Jyxt> kisuke: all the googling ive done tells me to simply change the drop down in audicty to my sound source...but i *have no* drop down for the audacity mixer [07:19] <kielanmatt> E: Couldn't find package kernel-headers-2.6.27-7-generic [07:19] <kielanmatt> sudo apt-get install kernel-headers-$(uname -r) IT DOESNT WORK [07:19] <kielanmatt> sudo apt-get install kernel-headers-$(uname -r) IT DOESNT WORK [07:19] <FloodBot3> kielanmatt: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:19] <pipegeek> I've had good luck with it in jaunty, even though it's still under heavy development [07:19] <flying_penguin> check the volume and system mixer [07:19] <Jyxt> but i can hear the sounde source just fine...its playing now [07:19] <pipegeek> that way, no need for a dedicated partition or to reboot [07:20] <inertial> albertxiaoyu: what is your target architecture? [07:20] <flying_penguin> make sure audacity is reading the proper channel and is not muting the input [07:20] <mgmuscari> meh, i don't remember how to get the uuid and stuff [07:21] <Flannel> mgmuscari: sudo blkid [07:21] <Jyxt> flying_penguin: how do i do that...theres no option for input?...in preferencs i can set the playback/recording devices...ive cycled thru all the recording devices, still no drop down for the mixer [07:21] <kisuke> jyxt sounds like a config problem, are you useing asla? [07:21] <Jyxt> kisuke: yes [07:21] <mgmuscari> lol oh, i see [07:21] <mgmuscari> since i wrote block data to that partition... [07:21] <flying_penguin> Jyxt: i dont remember exactly you just need to search through the audacity settings [07:21] <pipegeek> changes the uuid, ja :) [07:22] <ashok__> i want a website 2 download upuntu thems and games will any one help me out [07:22] <mgmuscari> instead of a UUID, it has LABEL="KNOPPIX" TYPE="iso9660" [07:22] <mgmuscari> can i point grub at that? [07:22] <flying_penguin> Jyxt: also if you are useing pulse audio i would suggest un-installing it and useing alsa instead [07:22] <mgmuscari> O_o i've never come up against pointing it at an iso imaged partition before... [07:22] <prince_jammys> !themes > ashok__ [07:22] <ubottu> ashok__, please see my private message [07:22] <pipegeek> you can also point grub just at (hd0,4) or whatever [07:23] <Boohbah> flying_penguin: funny that ubuntu has been pushing pulseaudio for the last year but it hasn't worked for anyone ever [07:23] <ashok__> i want a link [07:23] <mgmuscari> pipegeek: do i have to set the boot flag on that partition then? [07:23] <prince_jammys> ashok__: ubottu sent you links. [07:23] <flying_penguin> Boohbah: its getting better but its still not what i would call stable software [07:24] <pipegeek> no, shouldn't have to. That said, I didn't realize it was an iso image---I'm not sure if it will load properly out of a hdd partition. I thought this was a flash image [07:24] <flying_penguin> Boohbah: i expect that kind of thing from fedora but ubuntu? [07:24] <pipegeek> I mean, try it [07:24] <mgmuscari> yeah, i didn't think it'd be a cd iso either [07:24] <mgmuscari> weird [07:24] <kisuke> jyxt one min google is being slow [07:25] <mgmuscari> i guess i'll use rootnoverify [07:25] <pipegeek> but if you just want to run the thing in a vm, "kvm -d path/to/iso -boot d" [07:25] <pipegeek> cool [07:25] <mgmuscari> i forget how to get the grub hard disk index [07:25] <mgmuscari> like (hd0,0) [07:25] <pipegeek> /boot/grub/device.map [07:25] <mgmuscari> ah [07:25] <mgmuscari> thanks [07:25] <pipegeek> np [07:26] <elxtogatox> hello.... somebody that can help me [07:26] <mgmuscari> well, that gave me (hd0) /dev/sda, of course... but i have a lot of partitions [07:26] <Jyxt> kisuke: take your time...messing around with JACK to see if that helps [07:26] <mgmuscari> say i have sda7, would that always be (hd0,6)? [07:26] <pipegeek> /dev/sda1 should translate to (hd0,0) if I'm not mistaken [07:26] <pipegeek> yeah [07:26] <mgmuscari> i'll try it.. [07:26] <pipegeek> kk [07:26] <elxtogatox> hello.. I need help :( [07:27] <pipegeek> elxtogatox, ask your question :) [07:27] <elxtogatox> thanks... sorry my language... is a not perfect english [07:27] <mgmuscari> do i need the chainloader directive? [07:27] <kisuke> jyxt help> about what is the verson of your port audio? (not sure i spelled that right) [07:27] <flying_penguin> mgmuscari: if the hd num is higher than 4 that would mean it is a logical instead of extended partition and probably wont be 0,6 [07:27] <pempob> haloooooooooo [07:27] <elxtogatox> I tell you... [07:27] <pipegeek> mgmuscari, if you want it to jump into the DSL image's bootloader, then yes [07:27] <mgmuscari> yeah it's a logical partition [07:27] <flying_penguin> sory switch logical and extenden [07:27] <Jyxt> kisuke: portaudio v19 [07:27] <pipegeek> mgmuscari, you either need a chainloader directive or to tell it where to find the kernel itself, and the latter option is not available to you here [07:28] <paipimenta> oh man, how the hell do I edit this menu.lst file?? all I can use is cat, echo.... [07:28] <elxtogatox> I have a motherboard Via KM400... I was find the driver to this Chipset in google but nothing... [07:28] <elxtogatox> and my resolution is 800x600 and this i dont' like it [07:28] <pipegeek> paipimenta, nano is a pretty easy-to-use text editor [07:28] <mgmuscari> paipimenta: do you have sed by any chance? [07:28] <kisuke> jyxt try http://wiki.audacityteam.org/index.php?title=Mixer_Toolbar_Issues#Linux-specific_issues [07:28] <pipegeek> oh [07:28] <pipegeek> ehehe [07:29] <ak_> ah [07:29] <paipimenta> I booted from the install DVD to recovery/rescue mode [07:29] <mgmuscari> cat menu.lst | sed s/replacethis/withsomething/ > menu.lst [07:29] <mgmuscari> :p [07:29] <paipimenta> so I'm in a minimal prompt [07:29] <flying_penguin> paipimenta: nano is easy vim is good and if you don't know exactly what you are doing dont use sed [07:29] <elxtogatox> in last days... i was modifing the xorg.conf but ... my pc dead xD [07:29] <paipimenta> nice! [07:29] <mgmuscari> flying_penguin: very true [07:29] <mgmuscari> paipimenta: don't use sed [07:29] <pipegeek> vim is *lovely* but a pain in the ass to learn [07:29] <elxtogatox> pipegeek you talk spanish?? [07:29] <paipimenta> cat menu.lst | sed s/lv_root/lvroot/ > menu.lst [07:30] <Jyxt> kisuke: hrm...all i really want to do is digitize my record colletion..make em mp3's, heard from someone else that audacity is teh easiest way to do this [07:30] <prince_jammys> nice way of probably truncating the file [07:30] <paipimenta> yeah.... the vim learning curve is gradually flattening out finally [07:30] <elxtogatox> paipimenta you talk spanish? [07:30] <pipegeek> un poquito. Pero hay un canal en espanol [07:30] <Jyxt> but its turning out *not* to be the easiest way, know of another solution that can record from line-inand save as mp3? [07:30] <pipegeek> un momento [07:30] <paipimenta> truncate? great... [07:30] <mgmuscari> paipimenta: that would replace the first instance of lv_root on a line with lvroot [07:30] <elxtogatox> can you tell me that channel :) [07:30] <darksmac> nano for me [07:30] <Jyxt> kisuke: thanks for the link though...will look into it [07:30] <paipimenta> yeah, but this is Portuguese [07:30] <prince_jammys> nah, it would likely truncate the file to zero bytes. [07:31] <paipimenta> brazilian wife [07:31] <kisuke> jyxt it is i've done it, do you have pulse audio? [07:31] <pipegeek> elxtogatox, #ubuntu-es :) [07:31] <paipimenta> :-D [07:31] <elxtogatox> thanks :) [07:31] <pipegeek> np [07:31] <flying_penguin> darksmac: if you are going to be a serious terminal juckie you will switch to vim eventualy [07:31] <Jyxt> kisuke: i had it, just uninstalled it per flying_penguin's recommendation [07:31] <Jyxt> think it was him [07:31] <darksmac> flying_penguin: damn so confusing [07:32] <paipimenta> mgmuscari: what's wrong with that? [07:32] <mano> i want a website 2 download upuntu thems and games [07:32] <kisuke> jyxt have you tryed disableing systemsounds in gnome? [07:32] <paipimenta> I just need to change the kernel root= names for the root logical volume I changed [07:32] <mano> will any one help me out [07:32] <darksmac> flying_penguin: can you print file from command line took me about a 1000000 hrs to set up printer but i still dont know how to use [07:32] <prince_jammys> paipimenta: open the file with a text editor and edit them. [07:32] <mgmuscari> i'm going to see if my mad experiment worked... [07:32] <mgmuscari> be back in a few [07:32] <pipegeek> darksmac, "vimtutor" is a good jumping off point [07:32] <pipegeek> just type that at the command line [07:32] <darksmac> cool [07:33] <pipegeek> most important thing to know: you quit by typing ":q<enter>" [07:33] <pipegeek> ;) [07:33] <mano> i want any link 2 download upuntu thems [07:33] <kfizz> Quick Q: How can I grep only files, aka ignore all directories? [07:33] <flying_penguin> darksmac: i havent delt with that much myself but i would start by reading about cups (common unix printing system) and look for a good comand line controller for that [07:33] <kisuke> mano look in synaptc for themes [07:33] <darksmac> thank you very much [07:34] <pipegeek> flying_penguin, just type "lpr filename.ps" [07:34] <pipegeek> if you have cups-bsd installed [07:34] <mano> then for games [07:34] <pipegeek> err, darksmac [07:34] <kisuke> !themes > kisuke [07:34] <ubottu> kisuke, please see my private message [07:35] <darksmac> ooo ok [07:35] <darksmac> can i print man files [07:35] <paipimenta> prince_jammys: oh wow man, why didn't I think of that??? [07:35] <DigitalKiwi> yeah [07:35] <pipegeek> well, you probably want to either convert them to plaintext first or to postscript [07:35] <pipegeek> and there's doubtless an easy way to do that [07:35] <pipegeek> hold on [07:35] <paipimenta> too bad I'm in recovery mode and I have no editor [07:35] <darksmac> and just so you know im stuck in vim [07:35] <darksmac> hah [07:35] <prince_jammys> paipimenta: beats me. sounds like a good idea. [07:35] <darksmac> i lol at myself [07:35] <paipimenta> not even ed [07:36] <kfizz> Quick Q: How can I grep only files, aka ignore all directories? [07:36] <pipegeek> darksmac: check it out: "man foo | lpr" [07:36] <prince_jammys> paipimenta: you're in busybox? [07:36] <pipegeek> where foo is the name of the man page [07:36] <ArkoldThos> someone got chromium with flash? [07:36] <paipimenta> there we go, yes [07:36] <pipegeek> I think that should work [07:36] <paipimenta> busybox [07:36] <flying_penguin> darksmac: esc then :q [07:36] <ajhtiredwolf> ArkoldThos, yes i have it [07:36] <kisuke> mano see my last message also try google "linux games" (without the quotes) that should give you a couple starting points [07:36] <prince_jammys> paipimenta: if you use the sed command, use a temp file. [07:36] <pipegeek> if it doesn't, then try "lpr <(man foo)" [07:36] <flying_penguin> or :q! (that will not save the file) [07:36] <geirha> kfizz: find . -type f -exec grep "pattern" {} + [07:36] <DigitalKiwi> darksmac: PAGER=cat man something > somethingman.txt [07:36] <DigitalKiwi> then print it [07:36] <ArkoldThos> ajhtiredwolf, how you got it working with flash? i copy pasted the plugin in the plugins folder of chromium [07:36] <paipimenta> goddamn Colloquy with no message history!! [07:36] <ArkoldThos> and started it as --enable-plugins [07:37] <paipimenta> :-( [07:37] <ArkoldThos> but nothing :/ [07:37] <ajhtiredwolf> ArkoldThos, I had already installed flash through firefox, and using the dev build it automatically worked [07:37] <prince_jammys> paipimenta: sed 's/foo/bar/' menu.lst > tmp && mv tmp menu.lst # or better yet, look at the file first before moving it. [07:37] <andruk> i deleted a theme in appearance-properties but it didnt go away, even when i close and reopen appearance-properties. how do i remove it? [07:37] <ajhtiredwolf> ArkoldThos, are you sure you are using the latest build? [07:37] <newabz> hello.. [07:37] <mgmuscari> hmmm, it gave me something about an invalid device [07:37] <mgmuscari> error 12 i think [07:37] <newabz> i need basic help for ubuntu.. who can help me.. [07:38] <mgmuscari> newabz: ask your question [07:38] <paipimenta> cat menu.lst | sed s/lv_root/lvroot/ > temp.file [07:38] <kisuke> newabz what do you need? [07:38] <prince_jammys> no cat needed [07:38] <prince_jammys> but sure [07:38] <paipimenta> then how do I get it to write to menu.lst, just mv temp.file menu.lst [07:38] <newabz> i want to install ubuntu.. just downloading it.. [07:38] <ajhtiredwolf> newabz, ask a specifical question and maybe :P [07:38] <darksmac> still stuck lucky im in screen [07:38] <paipimenta> welcome home, newabz! :-D [07:38] <prince_jammys> paipimenta: perhaps the busybox sed can edits file in place with the -i option. [07:38] <newabz> i wanted to know if i caould burn it on a rewritable dvd n install it. is it possible ? [07:38] <pipegeek> paipimenta, you can also do "sed -i 's/lv_root/lvroot/' menu.lst" if you're really daring [07:38] <mano> i want flash games will it work on upuntu [07:39] <pipegeek> which performs the changes in place [07:39] <ajhtiredwolf> newabz, ....yes [07:39] <ajhtiredwolf> mano, yes [07:39] <mgmuscari> newabz: sure, why not? [07:39] <darksmac> never mind got it [07:39] <newabz> thanks..i got some more questions.. be back in some time.. thanks [07:39] <ajhtiredwolf> newabz, there are extensive instructions to installing ubuntu o the main page [07:39] <ActionParsnip1> ArkoldThos: sudo cp /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/chromium-browser/plugins [07:39] <kisuke> newabz yes but it will fit on a CD [07:39] <kfizz> geirha: I replaced "pattern" with what I'm searching for, but no results come up, though grep "pattern" does work. Am I missing something? [07:39] <mgmuscari> newabz: as long as you burn the iso image to disc and not the iso file you're good [07:39] <newabz> yeah.. but its all given for cd .. nothing abt dvd has been mentioned [07:39] <flying_penguin> darksmac: in vim press esc to make exit insert or whatever mode you are int then press : so you can issue a command and press q! to quit vim without saving any changes [07:39] <mgmuscari> newabz: same thing, really [07:39] <ActionParsnip1> ArkoldThos: http://webupd8.blogspot.com/2009/07/how-to-enable-flash-support-for.html [07:40] <kisuke> newabz also before installing try in live CD mode first [07:40] <newabz> i am new.. ..thnx [07:40] <flying_penguin> then enter to issue the command [07:40] <ajhtiredwolf> newabz, its the same thing [07:40] <darksmac> cool i exited now im looking at vimtutor as sugested [07:40] <mgmuscari> kisuke: newabz that's a good point [07:40] <kisuke> newabz np we all were once [07:40] <geirha> kfizz: Sounds like you're missing files who's content contains the pattern you're after [07:40] <ajhtiredwolf> not me, i was born knowing how to use linux [07:40] <mgmuscari> newabz: you can run it directly off the cd under windows if you want, i think, or you can boot from the cd and run it without installing it to disk [07:40] <flying_penguin> ive never used vimtutor how is it? [07:41] * ActionParsnip1 was birthed mid-kernel compile [07:41] <kfizz> Sorry geirha, I'm just greping file names, not contents of files [07:41] <prince_jammys> flying_penguin: it's a joy. [07:41] <paipimenta> brb.... making love 8-o [07:41] <geirha> flying_penguin: It's great, it teaches you basic vim [07:41] <flying_penguin> btw make sure you are using the vim-full package not the vim-tiny [07:41] <flying_penguin> i think that was already mentioned [07:41] <ajhtiredwolf> ActionParsnip1, haha good one [07:41] <Mazhar> hello [07:41] <darksmac> how can i check version [07:41] <pipegeek> howdyt [07:41] <Mazhar> I have a prob [07:41] <geirha> kfizz: find -type f -name "*foo*" # files with foo in the name [07:41] <Mazhar> recently I downloaded Ubuntu hardy [07:42] <Mazhar> I dont a disk burner [07:42] <flying_penguin> darksmac: if you apt-get install vim-full that will wipe out vim-tiny if it is installed [07:42] <ajhtiredwolf> Mazhar, have a USB flash drive?

[07:42] <Mazhar> because its LTS [07:42] <mgmuscari> Mazhar: good point [07:42] <kisuke> darksmac <appname> -version usually works [07:42] <Mazhar> so when try to install it using wubi [07:43] <Mazhar> it starts downloading files [07:43] <pipegeek> darksmac, also, "dpkg -s vim-full" will tell you if it's there [07:43] <ActionParsnip1> Mazhar: you dont need daemontools to use the iso with wubi afaik [07:43] <Mazhar> although I already have the iso [07:43] <Mazhar> mm action [07:43] <Mazhar> but why it starts downloading?? [07:43] <Mazhar> when I already have the iso [07:43] <mano> where can i find flash games for upuntu === unnamed is now known as Guest85846 [07:43] <mgmuscari> Mazhar: you could probably also find a way to put it on a USB drive if you wanted === whois is now known as aubade-remix [07:43] <Mazhar> well === aubade-remix is now known as whois [07:43] <mgmuscari> mano: flash games are generally found on the internet...

[07:44] <Guest85846> hi [07:44] <ActionParsnip1> Mazhar: if you put the iso in the same folder as wubi.exe it will be used [07:44] <pipegeek> sad but true [07:44] <ajhtiredwolf> mano, not specific to a certain OS [07:44] <Mazhar> no its in the same folder [07:44] <Guest85846> how to enable bootlogging? [07:44] <ActionParsnip1> Mazhar: make sure you md5 check both files to minimise issues [07:44] <Mazhar> whats that?? [07:44] <ActionParsnip1> !md5 | Mazhar [07:44] <ubottu> Mazhar: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [07:44] <mano> 2 upuntu [07:45] <Mazhar> thnx looking for that === kermit is now known as kermita [07:45] <indus> hi [07:45] <ActionParsnip1> Mazhar: here are the hashes: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes [07:45] <Guest85846> i did: sudo gedit /etc/default/bootlogd and BOOTLOGD_ENABLE=No [07:45] <ActionParsnip1> Mazhar: you have no guaruntee those files are good at all, MD5 lets you test [07:45] <pipegeek> Guest85846, not sure what you mean; boot messages should already be being logged to /var/log/boot.log [07:46] <ActionParsnip1> Mazhar: if the MD5sums are different, the file is bad and needs redownloading [07:46] <pipegeek> I lied [07:46] <Guest85846> but the content of bootlog is only:(Nothing has been logged yet.) [07:46] <Mazhar> ok thnx alot guys [07:46] <ArkoldThos> ActionParsnip1, done that, still not working [07:46] <ActionParsnip1> Guest85846: dmesg | less [07:46] <Mazhar> I am checking it right away [07:46] <Guest85846> ok try it [07:46] <pipegeek> /var/log/messages; /var/log/kern.log [07:46] <ActionParsnip1> ArkoldThos: if there is a ~/.chromium/plugins folder link it in there too [07:46] <pipegeek> also what ActionParsnip1 said [07:47] <ArkoldThos> okay :) [07:47] <flying_penguin> goodnight all [07:47] <Guest85846> there is sth showing up at that command..

[07:48] <ActionParsnip1> mano: its ubuntu, not upuntu [07:48] <pipegeek> shot in the dark [07:48] <ArkoldThos> 64 [07:48] <kisuke> newabz when you boot the cd there is an option to test without installing that is liveCD mode [07:48] <Mazhar> OH no man!! [07:48] <Mazhar> the checksums are differnet [07:49] <Mazhar> I think I will have to redownload it [07:49] <Mazhar> anyway [07:49] <ActionParsnip1> ArkoldThos: you could copy the beta 64bit flashplugin to the plugins folder [07:49] <Mazhar> thnx alot guys!!! [07:49] <ArkoldThos> ActionParsnip1, 64 bits one still doesn't support is or I will have to use ndiswrapper?

[07:49] <Guest85846> i dont have a var/log/messages but var/log/kern.log works [07:49] <Guest85846> thx [07:49] <ActionParsnip1> ArkoldThos: ndiswrapper is for network drivers, there is nspluginwrapper [07:49] <Mazhar> I couldnt have dont it without you guys [07:49] <Mazhar> thnx [07:49] <Mazhar> *done [07:49] <indus> ActionParsnip1: not beta, still an alpha, though it doesnt really mean anything, its as good /bad as the release version 32 bit [07:50] <indus> any idea how to reduce jerkiness when full screen with flash [07:50] <ActionParsnip1> indus: so it is, its still pretty awesome [07:50] <ActionParsnip1> indus: got effects enabled? [07:50] <indus> naah, i miss flash 9 so much [07:51] <kermit> indus: maybe setting your cpu to performance from ondemand [07:51] <indus> kermit: hmm really? [07:51] <kisuke> does anyone know what the channel is for wine? [07:51] <newabz> thanks kisuke [07:51] <pipegeek> ArkoldThos, I'm using chromium with flash successfully at work. That said, I'm using the 64-bit flash pre-alpha --- it's possible that chromium has some issue with the 64-bit wrapper around the 32-bit flash that ships with ubuntu amd64 [07:51] <ActionParsnip1> kisuke: #winehq [07:51] <Guest85846> what does grub error 15 mean? [07:51] <kisuke> newabz no problem [07:51] <kermit> indus: right click on the task bar, add to panel, cpu freq thing, then click on it and change it [07:51] <indus> kermit: ok thats my home system , i try it later [07:52] <ActionParsnip1> ArkoldThos: http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/libflashplayer-10.0.32.18.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz extract the olnly file in it to the chromium plugins folder [07:52] <kisuke> guest85846 it depends on how far grub loads [07:52] <indus> kermit: in what way does that help? [07:52] <Guest85846> there is sth. like: file not found [07:52] <kermit> indus: maybe it wont.. but you can lock the cpu at full speed so it probably will [07:52] <indus> Guest85846: ya it cant find the grub stage 1 [07:52] <kisuke> guest 85846 on mi and i will get you the error list [07:52] <indus> kermit: okie [07:52] <ActionParsnip1> Guest85846: http://www.uruk.org/orig-grub/errors.html [07:52] <indus> kermit: any other tweaks? [07:53] <philsf> I'm getting segfaults whenever I try to run apt-get or aptitude, how can I debug this? [07:53] <mgmuscari> i'm going to try a different approach [07:53] <mgmuscari> i'm going to extract the DSL image to the partition [07:53] <Guest85846> ok thx [07:53] <mgmuscari> and make a grub entry to point to that... [07:53] <kisuke> guest85846 try http://www.uruk.org/orig-grub/errors.html [07:54] <Bravewolf> where are the configuration file of localea? I would like to use an english system with an italian keyboard, with the metric measures and with , as decimal sepator. [07:54] <indus> i was wondering, doing a cd / with live cd shows the / of cd or hdd [07:54] <kisuke> thanks actionparsnip1 [07:54] <ActionParsnip1> indus: http://tuxarena.blogspot.com/2009/04/3-tweaks-to-speed-up-firefox-3-and-free.html [07:54] <Bravewolf> locales [07:54] <pipegeek> ArkoldThos, hmm, no, it definitely found and is using the wrapper [07:54] <ActionParsnip1> kisuke: np [07:54] <Guest85846> will i find that error in my kern.log? [07:54] <mgmuscari> how do i have grub autoconfigure again? [07:54] <indus> ActionParsnip1: aww thanks :) [07:54] <ArkoldThos> thanks ActionParsnip1, the last worked [07:55] <ActionParsnip1> ArkoldThos: good move, 64bit flash ahoy :D [07:55] <indus> ActionParsnip1: but i want flash specific help, this one i have tried already [07:55] <ArkoldThos> damn adobe :( [07:55] <Guest85846> cannot find map file... [07:55] <Guest85846> hm what is that? === digen_ is now known as digen [07:56] <ActionParsnip1> ArkoldThos: you can uninstall the flashplugin-installer and flashplugin-nonfree and apply the same file to firefox too [07:56] <pipegeek> ah for a world of open standards and compliant implementations where flash was unnecessary [07:56] <indus> Guest85846: do you have a grub problem? [07:56] <ArkoldThos> i don't use firefox, i don't like it :/ but thanks for the advice [07:56] <Guest85846> indus, i guess so [07:56] <indus> Guest85846: so use live cd to fix it [07:56] <zanticus> lynx is the way to go [07:57] <Jyxt> kisuke: if your still here...it seems i have to start JACK before starting audacity...still no drop downs but at least audacity is hearing the line-in now [07:57] <Guest85846> i am able to start the system only after i chose the second line in the grub menu.. recovery or sth like that [07:57] <Guest85846> then a menu is loaded and i choose grub.. after that i choose resume boot and its all right, the system boots up [07:57] <Fragsworth> Is there a file somewhere that displays hard drive information (like /proc/cpuinfo displays CPU information) [07:58] <indus> Guest85846:after grub menu appears, what do u do [07:58] <indus> Fragsworth: have to install some tools for that [07:58] <indus> !smartmontools | Fragsworth [07:58] <ubottu> Sorry, I don't know anything about smartmontools [07:58] <indus> !smart [07:58] <ubottu> smart is another meta-package manager available for Ubuntu. It's quite stable, uses APT's repositories, can handle mirrors/multiple-connections, and is supposed to make Ubuntu BiArch-compatible.

[08:07] <Flannel> indus: Well, the reason we suggest against it here is that it's Ubuntu policy to not use it. [08:07] <paipimenta> ok, busybox has sed, but not ed [08:07] <indus> Flannel: but its easy to set one with GUI ,so ubuntu dont seem too keen on hiding it [08:08] <pipegeek> indus: maybe it's because it dissuades logging in as root and leaving root terminals open [08:08] <pipegeek> the less time spent as root the better [08:08] <indus> Flannel: good look at users adn groups and thats it [08:08] <indus> anyways off topic i guess [08:08] <pipegeek> sorry [08:08] <tPl0ch> hi all :) [08:08] <pipegeek> howdy [08:08] <indus> tPl0ch: hello [08:09] <paipimenta> what was that sed command again?

When I reboot the resolution reverts back to 1280x1024 instead of staying 1600x1200. When I try to save settings I get an error of not being able to save backup. [09:13] <pickett> run it as root [09:14] <cong06> I'm confused. is ubottu saying that its gonna break when it's released? or it'll break until the 29th? [09:15] <prince_jammys> cong06: no, he/she/it is saying it's unstable if you install it before the official release. [09:16] <prince_jammys> i.e. expect bugs if you install it now. [09:16] <[fade]> kdenlive seems ok [09:16] <cong06> yeah. [09:16] <[fade]> i think it will serve the purpose [09:16] <[fade]> once again, thank you :) [09:18] <pcbugfixer> Thanks for info DJones, whois, I did need help with a 9.04 install into partition 3 (1 of 4 primary partitions) 101677Mb in size so that all of the ubuntu [09:18] <pcbugfixer> installation is in this one partition - Please [09:19] <anselm> pcbugfixer: do you have already a 9.04 install ? [09:21] <pcbugfixer> anselm: yes I have but it is on a different HDD mobile rack - did this to practice installing - but now want to install on my multi OS boot system [09:22] <whois> pcbugfixer: Ubuntu is supporting LVM from a while, just Boot from your installation media, Press F6 twice on the installation screen, select "Expert" mode, and afterwards You ll be prompted to choose either LVM / Raid / ENcryption etc. [09:22] <whois> choose LVM : i think that's what you wanttttttttt [09:22] <whois> sorry, my "t" key is not working properly. === cong06 is now known as isaaclw [09:23] <kisuke> can anyone help me figure out why ubuntu can't id my HDD? [09:24] <pcbugfixer> anselm: I use BootItNG to perform OS boots - have XP Pro sp3 in partition 1(one) - BootitNG is in 4 - all are primary partitions - with Win7 to be installed in partition 2 [09:24] <godstar> kisuke: Is this a new install or an additional HDD on an existing install? [09:25] <pcbugfixer> whois: getting there is not the problem I have, it is the parameters to choose i.e. options that I have problems with [09:25] <kisuke> new install [09:25] <kisuke> godstar new install [09:26] <nomic> pls anyone - what ip address for a client do I put into /etc/exports when allowing a client to access the server (/etc/exports on server) i run ifconfig and see eth0,lo,wlan1,wmaster0 and there are many ip addresses -- can't remember which [09:26] <nomic> -- NFS [09:26] <mohrjo> hello [09:26] <godstar> Ubuntu can not see your HDD in order to install or you have a slave drive or partition that you are trying to see? [09:26] <padhu> Is IBUS input method is an default setuip in ubuntu 9.10? [09:27] <pcbugfixer> whois: i.e. in the selections of what needs to be setup - also I seem to not get passed the point where I select the partition and then need to do what ? [09:28] <maple1> how do I upgrade from ubuntu to windows 7? [09:28] <nomic> why? [09:28] <maple1> I like ubuntu but I also like productivity [09:28] <nomic> it's a different OS === isaaclw is now known as cong06 [09:28] <zenlunatic> omg [09:29] <DJones> !ot | maple1: [09:29] <ubottu> maple1:: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [09:29] <amine> Hello, ....for recovery using bin logs, how to know which binlog.xxxx to use? or how to tell mysqlbinlog to look in all of them? [09:29] <amine> thanks [09:29] <anselm> pcbugfixer: so you need to convert your primary partitions in logical because you only can have 4 [09:29] <pcbugfixer> whois: I have watched different videos and gone through different instructions - but have not seen one with spesific instruction of hoew to setup into an existing partition [09:29] <zenlunatic> maple1: more importantly why would you want to? [09:29] <paipimenta> total props to the #lvm for helping me out.... any Ubuntu noobs, I definitely recommend using guided partition with LVM if you're clueless [09:29] <paipimenta> makes things easier down the road [09:29] <paipimenta> or at least more flexible [09:30] <zenlunatic> paipimenta: is that 9.10? [09:30] <zenlunatic> paipimenta: never heard of lvm options on install [09:30] <pcbugfixer> anselm: if I use standard protocol - then yes, however BootItNG does allow for more that 4 partitions if I use it - currently I use standard 4 partition setup [09:31] <zenlunatic> with ubuntu even [09:31] <pavel_z> hi guys. what's wrong with my raids ? http://pastebin.ca/1585642 [09:32] <kisuke> godstar i had ubuntu installed before and wiped the HDD after my test install and now the bios can see it but not ubuntu [09:32] <dan> hḯ [09:32] <kisuke> maple1 why not down grade XP to 7? [09:32] <shoss> Hello, some programs are still starting up on login even after I unchecked them from the 'startup application' (system -> preferences --> startup applications)in ubuntu 9.04 jaunty - Gnome. does anyone know how to configure this properly, please? [09:33] <cheslyn> prince_jammys: i got a reply 'terminal type?' what must i reply [09:33] <prince_jammys> cheslyn: in what context? [09:33] <prince_jammys> cheslyn: who/what is asking you this question? [09:35] <nomic> pls i forgot what ip address for the client I need to put into /etc/exports (setting up nfs) .... [09:35] <cheslyn> prince jammys: i type in root reset password [09:35] <nomic> how to get it [09:36] <prince_jammys> cheslyn: aaaah. That does something TOTALLY different from what you think it does. [09:36] <sageNsand> Using Empathy or Pidgin in a IRC chat room for a while the scroll bar gets relative short. I notice the chat room screen stops rolling upward and the scroll bar starts to creep upward and that means I can't see the most recent text posted in the room, I have to keep dragging it down to see the new posts. Anyone seen the same? [09:36] <prince_jammys> cheslyn: in other words, forget about that command. What are you trying to do? [09:36] <prince_jammys> cheslyn: you want to set a password for a user? [09:36] <sorenmalling> Can i "force" a user and group to always own files/folder created in a specific folder no matter who creates it? [09:37] <pernissila> How do i disable the constant update of a window when i resize it? === bruno is now known as Guest92871 [09:37] <gartral> sageNsand: yep, it's a libpurple issue.. i use irssi its a much more intuitive client [09:37] <pernissila> it is soooo slow [09:37] <kisuke> wow im being ignore T.T === loki_ is now known as loki_666 [09:37] <prince_jammys> sorenmalling: look into the "sticky" bit in permissions. [09:37] <gartral> !ignore | kisuke [09:37] <ubottu> kisuke: If you really don't wish to see the messages from a particular person on IRC, you can use /ignore nickname [09:37] <Guest92871> what's up? [09:38] <sageNsand> gartral: TY at least I know Im not alone [09:38] <gartral> kisuke: what's your rob? [09:38] <gartral> prob* [09:38] <prince_jammys> sorenmalling: actually, don't. I misread your question. [09:38] <godstar> pernissila: I think you can go into gconf-editor and look at Nautilus preferences. This may help you. [09:38] <sorenmalling> prince_jammys: :) Okay [09:39] <kisuke> gartral tring to figure out why ubuntu quit iding my hdd [09:39] <cheslyn> prince_jammys: yes [09:39] <prince_jammys> cheslyn: this can be done with the 'passwd' command. [09:39] <gartral> kisuke: your harddrive isn't being recognised? [09:40] <neil_d> I have a computer, and I have forgotten what size the hdd is, is there an easy command to find out how big they are. [09:40] <godstar> kisuke: try instalilng Gparted from add/remove or Synaptic and see if it does not recognize your drive. [09:40] <bruno_> u can type df on colnsole [09:40] <bruno_> df [09:41] <cong06> df is alot faster. [09:41] <godstar> neil_d: you can also use Gparted as a graphical way to see your HDD. [09:41] <kisuke> gartral after i wiped it it won't show up which is weird considering my BIOS IDs it been there done that every ~3rd time will find as 1 unknown partition and 1 swap partition [09:41] <kisuke> godstar V [09:42] <kisuke> godstar after i wiped it it won't show up which is weird considering my BIOS IDs it been there done that every ~3rd time will find as 1 unknown partition and 1 swap partition [09:43] <cheslyn> prince_jammys:can you explain me how 2 do that from hte start please i'll really appreciate that [09:43] <godstar> kisuke: have you checked your jumpers on the HDD themselves and the cabling? Such as, Master 0, 1 or Slave 0, 1? [09:43] <bruno_> on accessories u can also use the disc analyzer [09:43] <kisuke> yes [09:43] <prince_jammys> cheslyn: you want to change your user's password, correct? [09:43] <anselm> pcbugfixer: can't you simply create a partition with bootit and install grub on the same partition you install 9.04 [09:44] <kisuke> godstar yes worked when i got it then quit when i wiped the hdd, hasent worked scence [09:44] <godstar> kisuke: seriously, install Gparted and see if that helps find your HDD. [09:44] <neil_d> godstar: I don't have it installed. df /dev/sda gives 642752. which doesn't seem correct. [09:44] <pernissila> godstar, cant find the setting [09:45] <mario__> in there a way to get a webcam working with emesene/?? [09:45] <kisuke> god star one min idiot didnt include gparted when made masonux [09:45] <paipimenta> nope, 9.04 [09:45] <godstar> neil_d: install it. [09:45] <Satisfied> whew..... so much chinese food tonight [09:45] <Satisfied> sooooo goody [09:45] <godstar> pernissila: I'll look real quick. [09:46] <kisuke> godstar one min need to ru napt-get-update first [09:46] <paipimenta> zenlunatic: 9.04 I remember LVM options on install as far back as fiesty [09:46] <godstar> kisuke: k [09:46] <TechN9ne> will GNome apps work well in KDE (kubuntu)? [09:46] <Satisfied> oops wrong window [09:46] <cheslyn> prince_jammys: yes but you must remember i don't have access 2 users and groups [09:47] <prince_jammys> TechN9ne: yes, I wouldn't worry. [09:47] <prince_jammys> cheslyn: type: passwd in the terminal [09:47] <TechN9ne> great [09:48] <pcbugfixer> anselm: not a real option as I also have XP pro sp3 in partition 1 and will put Win7 in partition 2 and BootItNG is in its own small 8Mb primary partition [09:48] <prince_jammys> TechN9ne: if you are installing ubuntu-desktop and you already have KDE, you'll just have a ton of apps put in your menus, that's all. You can edit them to your liking. [09:48] <godstar> pernissila: try this from gconf-editor. apps/nautilus/preferences <--- uncheck the 'navigation_window_saved_maximized' value see if that helps. [09:49] <cheslyn> prince_jammys: ok thanks let me try it i'll come back 2 u [09:49] <nomic> pls what ip address for the host do i put into /etc/exports (when setting up an nfs server) [09:49] <prince_jammys> cheslyn: that will allow you to change your user's password. [09:49] <TechN9ne> yea i just installed Kubuntu for the first time and wasnt sure if downloading gnome apps would work well [09:50] <cheslyn> prince_jammys: thanks [09:50] <paipimenta> TO ROOM: what are extents? I'm lvresizing two LVs so I can shrink the partition my VG is on. [09:51] <pcbugfixer> anselm: it appears that ubuntu needs or requires the partition to have sub (extended) partitions for its various functions and tasks [09:51] <pernissila> godstar, that was already unchecked [09:52] <pcbugfixer> anselm: unlike other OS's which onstall directly into a primary partition [09:52] <younder> I hate using windows again.. [09:52] <younder> 10:36 younder Trying to compile gnome 2.4 from source and then install it was a mistake [09:52] <younder> <- lat_ har koblet ned (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out)) [09:52] <younder> 10:37 younder now I can get the login screen just a wait icon [09:52] <younder> -> lat_ har blitt med i lisp [09:52] <younder> younder Luckily I have dual boot [09:52] <FloodBot3> younder: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:52] <anselm> pcbugfixer: no you can install ubuntu in one primary partition (that's default) [09:52] <godstar> pernissila: hmm. Mine is on by default. Try to check it and see if you notice the difference you are looking for. [09:54] <pcbugfixer> anselm: OK so what are the parameters I need to select, to do so please [09:54] <pernissila> godstar, no difference. How about metacity settings? [09:55] <anselm> pcbugfixer: Do you have the alternate or the live cd [09:55] <ray_> hello using dell d600 and i had tried my best but my wireless is not working [09:56] <younder> Anyhow I can't log into Ubuntu, so I am signing in from windows [09:56] <godstar> pernissila: Not sure to be honest. If this is an issue that just started happening, I recommend you reinstall gnome or kde or whatever manager you are using. If you are just trying to tweek, you may just need to tinker till you get the effect you are looking for. [09:56] <pcbugfixer> anselm: I have tried to find instructions for this but only found some and watched videos that went through differet configurationds with creating / /boot /swap and /data partitions which is not waht I wanted to do [09:56] <younder> Something I wish to remedy [09:56] <ray_> can anybody help cos av tried all the online help [09:57] <pcbugfixer> anselm: I have the boot CD I downloaded [09:58] <godstar> pernissila: Metacity looks like it deals moreso with keybindings. [09:58] <archy008> can anybody help? - have no sound and can't start the sound-settings-applet after an unclean shutdown [09:59] <archy008> ubuntu did a system check \ [09:59] <DJones> ray_: I haven't got a D600 so can't help specifically, but this posting on the ubuntu forums suggests it should be quite easy getting it to work, hopefully it'll help http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=595447 [09:59] <archy008> and found a bounch of errors [09:59] <pcbugfixer> anselm: I have already installed 9.04 on a different HDD mobile rack to get used to performing the install - but now would like to install it into my Multi OS boot system PC workstation [09:59] <archy008> it fixed them but after reboot no sound.... :) [09:59] <archy008> :( [09:59] <dougellek> i just installed a new cpu, but their is no where to plug in the fan, the new plug takes 4 pins, and the mobo only 3 pins spots [09:59] <nomic> pls i forgot what ip address for the host do i put into /etc/exports (when setting up an nfs server) [09:59] <nomic> from ifconfig [10:00] <anselm> pcbugfixer: you only have to create a root partition (/) and be careful to install grub to this partition because otherwise it may damage your bootit [10:00] <archy008> does anybody know what to do to bring the sound and the sound settings back? i'm on ubuntu 9.04 === BeardedAdmin is now known as BeardedAdmin_Awa === BeardedAdmin_Awa is now known as BeardedAdmin [10:00] <godstar> archy008: try doing apt-get update [10:01] <archy008> ok, thanks, i'll try that [10:01] <godstar> archy008: though your best bet may be to reinstall your desktop manager due to your unclean shutdown. === user__ is now known as decebal [10:01] <archy008> hm..

[10:02] <godstar> archy008: then you can type: alsamixer in your terminal and see if ubuntu is recognizing your sound card. More than likely it will. [10:03] <dougellek> yeah, my mobo take this chip, but it doesn't look like it can power the stock fan that came with it [10:03] <dougellek> does anyone know what im talking about? [10:03] <cheslyn> prince_jammys: i did'nt crack it it showed terminal type? and i type passwd [10:04] <prince_jammys> cheslyn: no. close that terminal and start another one. [10:04] <archy008> godstar: thanks, sorry for the stupid question (not much of an expert yet) - reinstalling the desktop manager wouldn't affect somehow my files and etc..? [10:04] <prince_jammys> cheslyn: don't type 'reset' or anything. Just 'passwd' [10:04] <archy008> should I back up everything beforehand? [10:05] <pcbugfixer> anselm: root partition (/) ? - on the partition I want to install ubuntu in ? - and the installation will install into that ? - so what are the selections I have to choose to do so i.e. file system etc. please [10:05] <cheslyn> prince_jammys: ok [10:05] <prince_jammys> archy008: no, it's OK. [10:05] <archy008> ok [10:05] <archy008> thanks [10:05] <trakcyia> Is there a dock application that is similar to OSX, but does or allows containing of launchers ONLY? [10:05] <godstar> archy008: As with any system changes, backing up your data is a good thing. In this case its okay to just reinstall your desktop manager without worrying your files will be affected. [10:06] <archy008> got it. thanks for the help [10:06] <godstar> archy008: Anytime. [10:07] <dougellek> oh blue wire is fan control speed [10:07] <trakcyia> I quit, linux vanity is too time consuming. [10:08] <pcbugfixer> anselm: the reason I got stuck with the manual install is because there is not much in the way of instruction as to the parameters to choose for a manual installation into 1 primary partition [10:09] <anselm> pcbugfixer: choose the ext3 filesystem [10:09] <anselm> pcbugfixer: and make the mount point "/" [10:10] <mark_> I'm having a problem with my fan [10:11] <mark_> [ 6299.820303] ACPI: Unable to turn cooling device [ffff880037036140] 'off' [10:12] <godstar> mark_: sounds like a BIOS issue.

[10:15] <godstar> mark_: turn your computer off. Turn your computer back on and look at the bottom of your monitor, it will say press F2, Delete, F12 or something to that effect to enter BIOS. From there, load default settings, or performance defaults. See if that does not resolve your ACPI error. [10:15] <prince_jammys> mark_: no, the BIOS is something you access right when you turn on the computer [10:15] <mark_> Ah right [10:15] <mark_> Gotcha [10:15] <mark_> Okay [10:15] <mark_> I'll try that [10:15] <FloodBot3> mark_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:15] <prince_jammys> try the Function Keys, Delete, Esc.... [10:15] <anselm> pcbugfixer: yes you should memorise the partition number [10:16] <anselm> pcbugfixer: later you will need this number to install the bootloader to this partition. [10:17] <cheslyn> prince_jammys: thanks alot lol i crack it] [10:17] <prince_jammys> cheslyn: you reset your password successfully? [10:17] <ray_> pls help with wireless [10:17] <pcbugfixer> anselm: SATA HDD Partition 1 is XP, Pt2 is Win7(to be installed) Pt3 is Ubunto, and Pt4 is BootItNG which controls the system boot choices [10:18] <cheslyn> prince_jammys: successfully thanks and y did it showed terminal type? [10:18] <carresmd> !ask | ray_ [10:18] <ubottu> ray_: 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. :-) [10:19] <pcbugfixer> anselm: the volume labels are named accordingly [10:19] <prince_jammys> cheslyn: because 'reset' is a completely different command that has nothing to do with passwords. It resets a terminal if the settings are wrong. [10:19] <shai> Does anyone know if there is a way to save an entire gnome-terminal session with its tabs and their names and then able to load that session when I need it? [10:20] <anselm> pcbugfixer: Yes then ubuntu is on /dev/sda3 or? you should be able to read this in the first field [10:21] <cheslyn> prince_jammys: what kind of terminal and what is a terminal what does it really do with the pc [10:22] <prince_jammys> cheslyn: the terminal you use is a program that emulates the old-fashioned terminal devices that are connected to main computer. [10:22] <pcbugfixer> anselm: can you elaborate on this please - /dev/sda3 .... read in first field ? [10:22] <prince_jammys> they are "terminal emulators". [10:22] <godstar> shai: you could probably go to startup applications and select automatically remember running applications when logging out. [10:23] <SharpRain> whats a good download manager with multiple threads, scheduling and password/proxy support? [10:23] <prince_jammys> cheslyn: it's difficult to answer your question in detail. you should look on the internet for an explanation. [10:23] <SharpRain> (for ubuntu, of course) [10:23] <shai> godstar, thanks for the answer... but I was hoping for something much simpler then that... since I don't want everything to open when I log in again... Konsole from KDE does this just by allowing you to actually save a session. Where gnome doesn't. [10:23] <cipria> "download them all" as firefox plugin [10:24] <cheslyn> prince_jammys: thanks know i understand can you do this in windows also [10:24] <shai> godstar, I'm actually surprised this is not documented or a wanted feature for most people... [10:24] <prince_jammys> cheslyn: yes [10:24] <prince_jammys> cheslyn: well, windows has a "Command Prompt". [10:24] <cheslyn> what is tethering? [10:24] <godstar> shai: What you are requesting is a neat feature. I'm sure a script could be created to meet your requirement. [10:25] <anselm> In the table with the list of the partitions you should read in the first filed /dev/sda3 or sda3. [10:25] <cipria> sharpRain: "download them all" as firefox plugin [10:26] <DJones> cheslyn: in respect of a mobile phone? Its where you connect a computer to your phone by cable/bluetooth so that your phone acts at the modem/router giving your computer access to the internet [10:26] <shai> godstar, really? is this like the first time this was brought up? Konsole has been doing this for a long time. [10:26] <pcbugfixer> anselm: missed the ..... later you will need this number to install the bootloader to this partition. - what or which boot loader ? are you referring to please [10:27] <shai> godstar, The funny thing is, both gnome-terminal and Konsole call it "Save Sessions Profile" yet Konsole acutally does that, where I still have NO idea what gnome-terminal does with that. [10:27] <Jyxt> cipria: isnt it actually called: DownThemAll [10:27] <godstar> shai: Sorry not sure. I do not use KDE. [10:27] <cipria> Jyxt: yes sorry [10:27] <shai> godstar, Konsole: Save Sessions Profile - Save the current set of sessions under a profile name. Allows you to restart with the same setup and number of session windows open that you choose. [10:27] <anselm> !grub | pcbugfixer [10:27] <ubottu> pcbugfixer: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows?

[10:30] <anselm> pcbugfixer: you will need to install this grubloader to the ubuntu partition otherwise it will damage your bootit. Per default it will install to the mbr [10:31] <shai> godstar, Closest I got is this: gnome-terminal --tab -t test --tab -t shai --tab -t server [10:32] <cheslyn> prince_jammys: i did not mean it like that i know ubuntu is more advance but thanks [10:32] <prince_jammys> cheslyn: Any OS should have a way to type in commands. [10:33] <prince_jammys> cheslyn: the terminal by itself takes input and shows output. It's the programs the are connected to the terminal that are doing the work. [10:33] <prince_jammys> s/the/that [10:33] <ArkoldThos> anyone could take a look on this thread? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8029495 [10:34] <cheslyn> prince_jammys: but in windows it's prompt commands correct [10:34] <prince_jammys> cheslyn: windows does have a Command Prompt, or DOS prompt, or something like that. [10:35] <pcbugfixer> ubottu: anselm: OK is - I use a boot manager = BootItNG so is grup installed into the Ubuntu partition ? so far we got "1. - choose manual, 2. - select the partition 3. - edit the partition - and select ext3 filesystem 4. - select "/" as mount point" - now we have to install "grubloader" so at what stage is this performed please ? and is there anything else that needs to be installed - swap ? and where and how is this done all in 1 partiti [10:36] <godstar> shai: all I came across was: sudo su gnome-terminal --tab --tab --tab [10:36] <shai> godstar, that's what I gave you just above :) [10:36] <godstar> shai: the it does not remember the settings once gnome terminal is closed and reopened. [10:36] <cheslyn> prince_jammys: what is the difference between DOS prompt and Command [10:36] <shai> godstar, Closest I got is this: gnome-terminal --tab -t test --tab -t shai --tab -t server [10:37] <shai> godstar, so -t actually names them... which is good.. [10:37] <prince_jammys> cheslyn: i don't know much about windows stuff. You can ask in ##windows if you want to know. [10:38] <ArkoldThos> command? [10:38] <prince_jammys> ''command prompt'' [10:38] <prince_jammys> windows-speak [10:38] <leissi> lol [10:38] <leissi> So hey uh [10:38] <roberto_> ciao a tutti [10:38] <leissi> is there a way to configure logitech mouse to use all buttons properly? [10:38] <leissi> in ubuntu, that is [10:39] <cheslyn> prince_jammys: on a server [10:39] <anselm> pcbugfixer: OK. You should have swap also. I forgot about that true. Sorry [10:39] <prince_jammys> cheslyn: huh? [10:40] <neil_d> godstar: found a simple way to find out way the drive is. cat /proc/partitions get the #blocks and time by 1024 [10:40] <cheslyn> prince_jammys: do you know what what server [10:41] <pcbugfixer> anselm: so how and when is all this performed - or can this be done at the same time, if so how please [10:42] <archy008> I reinstalled the destop manager, alsamixer in terminal shows me all the controlls - but still on boot I have no sound settings start up... and when trying to launch them from System>Preferences>sound - nothing happens only an error tells me that it was not possible t launch the gnome-settings-daemon... and something about possible problems with Bonobo.. or that some other non-gnome settings manager (as kde) might interfere... [10:42] <archy008> so.. still no sound [10:42] <archy008> and when trying to launch some app that uses sound it freezes.. and i have to kill it [10:42] <archy008> any ideas? [10:42] <pcbugfixer> anselm: looking at the sequence of instructions "1. - choose manual, 2. - select the partition 3. - edit the partition - and select ext3 filesystem 4. - select "/" as mount point" - + install "grubloader" and /swap [10:43] <Gecko> any known problems with the ubuntu keyserver? It hasn't been working for me lately [10:43] <carresmd> archy008: looks like a reinstall to me :) [10:44] <godstar> archy008: Hmm. Try running Ubuntu from the live cd, if the sound works from there, you could just try to reload altogether. [10:44] <anselm> pcbugfixer: But you can only create 4 primary partitions in linux either you boot windows and create the swap and the ext3 with bootit (http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/kb/article.php?id=283) or you create a logical partition [10:44] <ActionParsnip1> yo yo yo [10:44] <DJones> Gecko: Its had problems for the last week or so === nomnex is now known as Nomnex [10:44] <archy008> godstar: what does it mean to reload altogether? [10:44] <godstar> archy008: Else you could try to troubleshoot. [10:44] <godstar> archy008: Reinstall Ubuntu. [10:44] <archy008> ok... [10:45] <DJones> Gecko: This was posted in the channel a couple of days ago and may help: You can use pool.sks-keyservers.net in place of the keyserver if you are adding a ppa to your ubuntu install. If you are creating a ppa on launchpad then you should ask in #launchpad [10:45] <Gecko> DJones: Could I use any keyserver or are the ppa repositories only submitted to that keyserver? === mandiri is now known as Q-tonk [10:45] <archy008> well.. not my favorite option... but I was thinking to do that anyways when the 9.10 is released... [10:45] <Gecko> DJones: thanks, answered my question just before I asked it myself ;) [10:45] <NBZ4live> Hi @ all [10:45] <NBZ4live> Kann mier vieleicht jemand einen guten grafischen HTML-Editor empfehlen?

[10:47] <godstar> archy008: try running the live cd to make sure your sound card is functioning. You may have to install, some packages for the mp3 to work. [10:47] <NBZ4live> I need a good graphical HTML-Editor for Ubuntu. Like Dreamviewer for Win* [10:47] <DJones> !nvu | NBZ4live [10:47] <ubottu> NBZ4live: kompozer is a WYSIWYG HTML editor for easily creating web pages, and the continuation of the dead Nvu project. It is available in !Universe on !Gutsy and later releases. [10:47] <archy008> i see.. ok. thanks [10:48] <godstar> archy008: hmm. Multiple desktop managers will not affect your sound. [10:48] <jaunty> some persons have the same problem ? [10:48] <archy008> is it a problem if I have a very old life cd? ubuntu 6.06?

[10:49] <NBZ4live> thx [10:49] <leissi> is there a way to configure logitech mouse to use all buttons properly? [10:49] <ActionParsnip1> leissi: what model? [10:49] <godstar> archy008: you may want to download the latest ISO from ubuntu.com. [10:49] <leissi> ActionParsnip1, mx1000 [10:49] <NBZ4live> WWwriter isn't good. I must make a template for a newsletter [10:49] <leissi> the side buttons aren't working [10:50] <ActionParsnip1> leissi: you can configure it in xorg.conf: http://adventuresinswitching.blogspot.com/2008/04/logitech-mx1000-mouse-on-ubuntu-804.html [10:50] <jaunty> please : [10:51] <silv3r_m00n> isn't there a quanta for kde 4 ? [10:51] <godstar> jaunty: open terminal and type alsamixer. Tweak settings as needed and also try your volume manager. [10:52] <jaunty> godstar: i did it but nothing .. [10:52] <leissi> thanks ActionParsnip1 [10:52] <leissi> I'll config it later on, looks like a bit of effort :P [10:53] <ActionParsnip1> leissi: just bckup the file before playng, you then have a rollback path [10:54] <kisuke> godstar one restart later and gparted doent see my HDD do see the flash drive, i installed linux on but thats it [10:54] <jaunty> i can't tweak headphon settings [10:55] <jaunty> my sound card Realtek ALC1200 [10:55] <tombott> jaunty - have you tried removing and reinstalling alsa? [10:55] <tombott> jaunty - sudo apt-get remove alsa [10:55] <tombott> jaunty - sudo apt-get install alsa [10:56] <godstar> kisuke: Sounds silly but what I would do is make the HDD you are wanting Ubuntu to see your Master drive, be sure to check the jumper settings on the cable. Then I would run Ubuntu live CD and see if the live cd sees it. If it does not see it then the drive may have gone bad. [10:56] <joaopinto> tomaw, reinstalling alsa is not a recommended way of resolving sound configuration problems [10:56] <joaopinto> ops, tombott [10:57] <ActionParsnip1> !keyserver [10:57] <ubottu> Sorry, I don't know anything about keyserver [10:57] <ActionParsnip1> does anyone know the alternative to keyserver.uuntu.com please [10:57] <DJones> ActionParsnip1: : This was posted in the channel a couple of days ago and may help: You can use pool.sks-keyservers.net in place of the keyserver if you are adding a ppa to your ubuntu install. If you are creating a ppa on launchpad then you should ask in #launchpad [10:58] <ActionParsnip1> thanks [10:58] <ActionParsnip1> perfect [10:58] <leissi> now a vanity question [10:58] <leissi> how do I enable wobbly window effects [10:59] <kisuke> godstar it is my primary master but i will double check teh jumpers [10:59] <tombott> joaopinto - well its certainly fixed prb for me before [10:59] <joaopinto> tombott, that doesn't turn it recommended :) [10:59] <ActionParsnip1> leissi: install 3d drivers for your graphics card, install compizconfig-settings-manager then run ccsm and enable [11:00] <kisuke> actionparsnip1 try keyserver.mit.edu [11:00] <tombott> joaopinto - any fix is recommended in my book ;-) [11:00] <godstar> kisuke: k [11:01] <pcbugfixer> anselm: I am very clear about max partitions = 4, however BootItNG does have an option (which I did not want to use) to allow more that 4 partitions, all this I know and is not what I need info on ! - I repeat, the current partitions are 4 all primary at this point, with xp pro in Pt1 , Pt2 is empty at this moment waiting for Win7, Pt3 is for Ubuntu and Pt4 is the BootItNG partition - so I obviously need re configure Pt3 to accommodate all [11:01] <jaunty> tombott: the same problem again .. [11:02] <pcbugfixer> anselm: and what was the point of (http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/kb/article.php?id=283) please [11:03] <boot> edf [11:03] <boot> 你好 [11:03] <leissi> whoops [11:03] <leissi> broke my windows [11:03] <boot> 你好 [11:03] <leissi> typed compiz into terminal [11:04] <tombott> jaunty - can you load the volumne control - alsa mixer? [11:04] <anselm> pcbugfixer: There is a part about Recommended steps for a new installation it is partly generic [11:04] <ActionParsnip1> leissi: press alt+f2 run: metacity --replace [11:04] <leissi> ActionParsnip1, I already logged out and back in [11:04] <leissi> so why does my resolution reset to 1280x1024 when I log out, I'd kinda want it to stay at 1600x1200 [11:05] <SharpRain> whats a good download manager with multiple threads, scheduling and password/proxy support? (for ubuntu of course). also, it must do multi threads WELL, so not some half assed thing [11:05] <ActionParsnip1> leissi: what video card do you use? [11:05] <ActionParsnip1> SharpRain: gwget maybe [11:05] <leissi> geforce 8800gts, I change resolution through nvidia x server settings [11:05] <SharpRain> It'll be downloading multiple links at once.. [11:05] <ActionParsnip1> leissi: great. run: gksudo nvidia-settings [11:05] <SharpRain> like, rapidshare kind of thing [11:06] <ActionParsnip1> leissi: set the display then click "Write to X config file" [11:06] <indus> ActionParsnip1: nvidia-settings should not be run with sudo [11:06] <leissi> oh [11:06] <indus> ActionParsnip1: i believe [11:06] <leissi> thanks [11:06] <ActionParsnip1> indus: its ran with gksude [11:06] <leissi> I wondered how I'd run it as root :P [11:06] <ActionParsnip1> indus: user access will not permit writing to org.conf [11:06] <indus> ActionParsnip1: its available under system>administration [11:06] <indus> ActionParsnip1: writing what to xorg? [11:07] <SharpRain> Hello? [11:07] <elvtars> 1984 [11:07] <ActionParsnip1> indus: if you write the settings it will be the resolution of the loading screen, login screen and hopefully will perpetuate into the session [11:07] <anselm> pcbugfixer: But you can create a logical partition no problem. Simply delete sda3 and select locgical partition if you create the two new [11:07] <ActionParsnip1> indus: yes, write to xorg.conf, if its ran as user this will not be allowed [11:07] <indus> ActionParsnip1: the resolution sticks if done from without sudo also, i have nvidia card [11:07] <RobotCow> !selinux [11:07] <ubottu> SELinux is available on Ubuntu, but not officially supported. Ubuntu uses another security framework by default, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AppArmor [11:07] <leissi> so, about those desktop effects [11:07] <indus> ActionParsnip1: if you mean resolution of the monitor that is [11:08] <RobotCow> oh that website is useless. ive been to it before. [11:08] <ActionParsnip1> indus: well his isnt so doing the same thing as he's done before wont fix it will it [11:08] <indus> ActionParsnip1: of course, i think this should not be used to edit xorg anyway, its for nvidia settings only [11:08] <indus> ActionParsnip1: nvidia-xconfig is better for this isnt it [11:08] <ActionParsnip1> indus: it writes proper settings to xorg.conf [11:08] <RobotCow> how do i enable selinux in ubuntu? i have relabled the filesystem with the new policy, tried setenforce and editted the /etc/selinux/config to enable selinux and rebooted again. [11:08] <SockPants> hi [11:09] <SockPants> could someone help me out with permissions and users and such [11:09] <ActionParsnip1> indus: as far as I know that writes ok stuff but the settings will need to be written once an acceptible display has been achieved [11:09] <ActionParsnip1> indus: otherwise they wouldnt put the button in would they... [11:10] <ActionParsnip1> SockPants: can you expand on what you are wantioing to achieve and what is actually happening [11:10] <indus> ActionParsnip1: this tool doesnt write to xorg at all i believe, it only saves user settings for resolution if found in teh xorg file [11:10] <indus> ActionParsnip1: its like the nvidia control panel in windows [11:11] <ActionParsnip1> indus: http://tracylogan.com/uploads/Image/nvidia-settings.png bottom right button [11:11] <indus> ActionParsnip1: if theire is no res in the xorg, it doesnt show in settings either [11:11] <ActionParsnip1> indus: it can and may be necessary for some users [11:11] <SockPants> ActionParsnip1: ok. i'm running a little server for experimenting with. i've set up NFS so i can access the files from my laptop. however, i usually can't edit anything i need to, for example httpd.conf or things in /var/www, so i want to set it so that nfs clients have permission to edit these files or create new ones is theres directories [11:11] <Ashy> is there an ubuntu kernel package with xen compiled in? [11:12] <indus> ActionParsnip1: hmm thanks, didnt remember that button, so in this case, clicking on that without ssudo prompts user to enter? or says re run tool with sudo? [11:12] <SockPants> in the past i would simply keep chmod'ing everything 666, but i don't think thats the safest/ideal way to do it [11:12] <ActionParsnip1> indus: the process will rn as the user, users dont have write access to xorg.conf (by default anyway) so will need to run the app with gksudo [11:13] <indus> ActionParsnip1: i dont remember exact behaviour, ill let you know tomorrow [11:13] <ActionParsnip1> indus: sometimes the settings in the users profile will set the display up nicely but if it keeps reverting to something else then writing the settings to xorg.conf usually fixes it [11:13] <indus> ActionParsnip1: need to click on it and check this one [11:13] <indus> ActionParsnip1: yeah [11:13] <Myxb> hi, i've made some changes to .bashrc. how do i make them actual without restarting the current terminal? [11:13] <llutz> indus: ActionParsnip1 you can save it to a different file as user and merge it to xorg.conf later. easier to use gksudo :) [11:13] <ActionParsnip1> Myxb: source ~/.bashrc [11:14] <pcbugfixer> anselm: OK so I delete the partition to resize and leave room to create logical partitions - how many do I need for the ubunto installation please ? 1st = primary for "/" then - 2nd, 3rd, 4th, how many logical for ? and what size(s) under the primary partition 3 "/" [11:14] <ActionParsnip1> Myxb: or you can close all terminals and open a new one [11:14] <Myxb> ActionParsnip1: thanks! [11:15] <SockPants> any ideas? [11:15] <anselm> pcbugfixer: one swap one ext3 [11:15] <neil_d> pcbugfixer: my '/' uses about 3.5GB atm [11:15] <anselm> !swap | pcbugfixer [11:15] <ubottu> pcbugfixer: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [11:17] <testi_> I'd like to have a terminal or keyboardlistener that does sound on key events, like a typewriter. as realistic as possible. [11:17] <pcbugfixer> ubottu: I have 2GB on my nVidia card and 4GB on the motherboard [11:17] <ubottu> Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [11:17] <kermit> testi_: so would i, please msg me if you find out how [11:17] <SockPants> any ideas on how i can configure things so i can edit system files from an nfs client without too much effort [11:17] <hanshenrik> just did sudo tasksel install lamp-server & sudo apt-get install php5 & sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart - and i have a index.php and a index.html; http://127.0.0.1/ == index.html by default (but specifying index.php works just fine as well) is that normal? [11:17] <testi_> kermit: k [11:17] <kermit> testi_: even as realistic as a normal keyboard (i use a laptop) would be cool [11:18] <SockPants> pcbugfixer: however much ram you have you'll still need to make a swap partition [11:18] <testi_> kermit: yes.. :) I just started Penumbra Overture and I like that effect.. [11:18] <ActionParsnip1> pcbugfixer: how much space does the drive have? [11:19] <ActionParsnip1> pcbugfixer: or do you have to play with === ogra_ is now known as ogra [11:20] <pcbugfixer> anselm: neil_d: ubottu: the partition dedicated for ubunto (Pt3) is 101677MB and do not need the space for anything else - I have other PC Worstations with Multi-Boot configurations and 5 other HDD for file and data storage [11:21] <SockPants> i've set the nfs export so that i can read+write to the files i want to access, but i still don't seem to have permission to do so (from an nfs client) unless i chmod the file on the server to 666. how can i fix this? [11:21] <ActionParsnip1> pcbugfixer: you'll need about 5Gb for /, 8Gb for swap (or at LEAST 4Gb) and the rest for /home [11:22] <kermit> testi_: actually i did make a script that does it, but its polled so it sometimes misses keystrokes http://pastebin.com/f716e70ee [11:22] <neil_d> pcbugfixer: that should be enough. [11:22] <kermit> testi_: and, you'll need to edit that to point to your usleep, and get one if you dont have one... i dont know what package that comes with [11:22] <indus> ActionParsnip1: 8 gb for swap?? [11:22] <ActionParsnip1> pcbugfixer: youll need 1xRAM if yu want hibernate etc. Otherwise 2Gb will be adequate due to the 4Gb system ram you have [11:22] <ActionParsnip1> indus: 2xRAM [11:23] <SockPants> hibernate files are stored in swap? [11:23] <indus> ActionParsnip1: that was started in the days of 512 mb ram, 1 gb is more than enough unless proven otherwise [11:23] <ActionParsnip1> indus: given [11:23] <ActionParsnip1> pcbugfixer: 1 or 2gb ram shouold be enough [11:23] <indus> ActionParsnip1: yeah 8gb forswap is surely overkill :) [11:23] <neil_d> pcbugfixer: do you have another partition for swap? [11:24] <ActionParsnip1> indus: depends on needs [11:24] <joaopinto> using the old 2x ram does not hurt [11:24] <indus> ActionParsnip1: also, the swap in linux is not used as in windows which does use it a lot [11:24] <SockPants> nobody any ideas about permissions and such? [11:24] <hanshenrik> what is the command for renaming? [11:24] <ActionParsnip1> indus: depends on vc.swappiness value [11:24] <hanshenrik> (in console) [11:24] <indus> ActionParsnip1: my swap is always 50 mb max inspite of heavy gaming [11:24] <SockPants> hanshenrik: mv [11:24] <hanshenrik> ty [11:24] <indus> ActionParsnip1: so not really sure how this swap works [11:24] <ActionParsnip1> indus: set swappiness to 90, see how used it gets ;) [11:25] <indus> ActionParsnip1: where do i set that? [11:25] <joaopinto> indus, actually the swap on linux is heavily used, but in a difference sense, bringing performance improvements, freeing real RAM for active processes [11:25] <ActionParsnip1> indus: dont set it to 90, your system will cry [11:25] <gartral> what RTS games exist in the repos other than warzone 2100? [11:26] <ActionParsnip1> indus: /etc/sysctl.conf [11:26] <indus> joaopinto: i mean, i have been reading this 2x ram thing for some years, once i put swap just 300 mb and never ever had any problems [11:26] <indus> i have ram 1 gb [11:26] <ActionParsnip1> indus: vm.swappiness=1 here [11:26] <onats> hi, what does segfaulting mean? bad memory? [11:26] <ActionParsnip1> indus: i have 2Gb, if its hardly used set it to 5 or so, try keep apps in ram rather than swap [11:26] <gartral> onats: bad code.. [11:26] <neil_d> onats: program did something bad. [11:26] <indus> onats: not necessary unless ram is faulty [11:27] <ActionParsnip1> onats: you can check your ram with the ram tester in grub [11:27] <indus> ActionParsnip1: actually i havent yet find a good tool which will help me record history of ram and proc usage [11:27] <indus> onats: program probab;ly accessed a wrong section of ram > [11:27] <onats> ActionParsnip1, ok will do that later, coz i need to restart... [11:28] <onats> im using Mysql-admin. it was working a couple of minutes ago [11:28] <ActionParsnip1> indus: its just good to do, the lower swappiness will make the system keep apps in ram ather than swapping them out [11:28] <indus> ActionParsnip1:ok will check this [11:28] <indus> ActionParsnip1: ram is infinitely fastre than hdd of course [11:28] <SockPants> is there a separate user for nfs or else how does nfs authenticate users? [11:29] <ActionParsnip1> indus: definately so if you can keep the apps in there it will be slicker [11:30] <ActionParsnip1> !nfs [11:30] <ubottu> nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. [11:30] <pcbugfixer> so, what is the total for each logical partition, max ? and total needed for the whole of the ubuntu installation please - and what is the final min / max size for each logical partition - is my logic correct in creating the "/" as the primary 3rd partition on my HDD and then create the other needed partitions as logical partitions under the "/" 3rd primary partition on the HDD ? [11:30] <kermit> if you have a SSD, maybe set it much higher === choonming_ is now known as choonming [11:31] <ActionParsnip1> pcbugfixer: you can have 4 primary partitions, or 3 primary and one to be an extended partition which will hold logical partitions to give you possibly more partitons [11:32] <neil_d> pcbugfixer: with the size of your pt3 you shouldn't need any other partitions. but you will need a swap. [11:32] <SockPants> ActionParsnip1: ive followed that to set up nfs, but i don't seem to need to log in anywhere, it just works [11:33] <ActionParsnip1> SockPants: that factoid is all i know dude, sorry [11:33] <SockPants> alright, np, i'm still googling [11:35] <pcbugfixer> neil_d: so if I have 4 primary partitions, where and how in this partition do I create the other swap etc needed for the ubuntu installation ? ( this is where I started) [11:35] <kisuke> godstar moved the jumper now is showes up gonna try and format it now thanks [11:37] <neil_d> pcbugfixer: got an old 10GB drive or so your not using? [11:38] <neil_d> neil_d: otherwise you could make pt3 a set of logical drives [11:39] <godstar> kisuke: Anytime. [11:39] <incorrect> is there a standard way to set gcc to 4.2 without manually changing the simlinks, update-alternatives --gcc? [11:40] <jrib> incorrect: leave default alone and specify CC in your environment when you ./configure [11:41] <anselm> pcbugfixer: click quit, go to system >> administration >> partition editor. Delete sda3. click apply. quit partition editor. click installation again. and then use the option use largest continuous space. [11:41] <rexNebular> hi there. Are there any drawbacks using EXT4 with Jaunty 9.04? ext3 is default. [11:42] <tombott> <rexNebular> - none that i have found so far. am using it on my EeePC with SSD [11:42] <pcbugfixer> neil_d: Yup I have - how many do you want ? - "you could make pt3 a set of logical drives" sounds interesting ? doing this in or via the ubuntu install ? [11:42] <incorrect> jrib, oh ok [11:42] <rexNebular> @tombott thank you [11:42] <b3rz3rk3r> rexbron, ext4 is brand new, and for small file transfer there is a little extra overhead-time on them. But for large file transfers and the journaling system (like EXT3) its great [11:43] <godstar> rexNebular: there is a good article, on wikipedia about it. Like tombott, I too am running ext4 on eeePC w SSD and so far so good. [11:43] <hanshenrik> just made a new folder, and activated "sharing", how can i access that shared folder from an other ubuntu pc? [11:44] <neil_d> pcbugfixer: you put in a small extra drive and make it the swap, or use fdisk or something to remove pt3 and make the space 1 big partition for / and a smaller swap. [11:44] <rexNebular> I'm using ext4 with Seagate SATA2 drive, mostly files around 50-4700mb in size. [11:45] <neil_d> pcbugfixer: I think it can be done via the installer using the manual setup option. I would be tempted to do it before hand though. === angela is now known as Guest57211 [11:47] <pawel> speaking polish ? [11:48] <liemtran> hello [11:48] <pcbugfixer> neil_d: system has 6 HDD and 2 DVD-RW (4 x SATA HDD, 2 IDE HDD PM and SM and DVD-RW on ps and ss IDE channels) have room for 1 more SAT and 1 IDE through PCI card but do not want to go that way - too many devices in tower case already - thanks [11:49] <neil_d> pcbugfixer: oh! that is a lot. so you need to edit the partition table. [11:51] <jmkgreen> Hi - we're running a dapper server here and dist-upgraded. Went from 2.6.15-26-386 to 2.6.15-54-386. Problem is that the newer kernel hangs at 'Uncompressing kernel' yet the older kernel works fine. [11:51] <jmkgreen> Any ideas? [11:52] <kromekTM> hej [11:52] <incorrect> jrib, if you do export CC=4.2 you get sanity check failures [11:52] <jrib> incorrect: you provide a valid path (i.e. gcc-4.2) to gcc, not a number [11:53] <neil_d> pcbugfixer: do you need help doing that? [11:53] <incorrect> jrib, /usr/bin/gcc-4.2 and CPP to /usr/bin/g++-4.2 [11:53] <jrib> incorrect: if that's what you want [11:54] <pcbugfixer> neil_d: I need to rethink all this - my other systems - sys4 boots into XP Pro sp3, Vista Ultimate and Windows 7 Ultimate / sys2 boots Win95b, Win ME and Win 200 sp4 / system 3 boots XP Pro sp3 and I am trying to install Server 2008 and Ubuntu - with Ubuntu giving me more grieve than any other installations including the 2 Power MAC's I have. [11:54] <incorrect> jrib, there are issues with with stuff i am trying to compile [11:54] <graingert> pcbugfixer, what grieves you young man [11:56] <pcbugfixer> graingert: thanks for that - after 3 hours on this chat, I needed a laugh - have a daughter 37 and a son 46 - so I much appreciated "pcbugfixer, what grieves you young man" [11:56] <neil_d> pcbugfixer: I notice that all your other systems are windows based. It is just that the disk you are trying to use at present doesn't allow for any more partitions. [11:57] <Kryo1> why does my PC beep when I try to use tab completion in terminal? [11:57] <jrib> incorrect: see note here: http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/html_node/Setting-Output-Variables.html [11:58] <graingert> pcbugfixer, I am a uni fresher :-p [11:58] <graingert> pcbugfixer, what's the problem you having? [11:58] <graingert> pcbugfixer, I only just joined [11:58] <graingert> Kryo1, becuase it's meant to [11:59] <graingert> Kryo1, never used a tellytype? [11:59] <neil_d> pcbugfixer: I haven't tried it, but you should be able to without a swap partition. then once install add a swap file instead of a partition. [11:59] <neil_d> pcbugfixer: s/able to/able to setup/ [12:00] <Kryo1> graingert: I don't understand [12:00] <cheater99> hey guys [12:00] <cheater99> what's the keyboard shortcut for switching between tabs?

[12:06] <cheater99> graingert, so why not have the left click do a different thing in every application? say let's have it bring up the context menu in firefox, let's have it select (but not open) files in nautilus, let's have it select and open files in another file browser, and let's have it turn on the scroll tool in gvim - what do you think? [12:06] <cheater99> is that mechadiverse enough for you? [12:06] <jrib> hanshenrik: no problem, there are command line clients (smbclient) and you can do "smb://server/share" in nautilus's location bar as well [12:06] <graingert> cheater99, you have the source code [12:06] <graingert> cheater99, you can make it do whatever you like [12:06] <cheater99> but it's not mechadiverse right now [12:06] <cheater99> you should be raising your fist :) [12:06] <graingert> cheater99, perhaps [12:07] <rexNebular> what are the optimum sizes for partitions /, /home, /swap on a 750gb drive 3gb ram [12:07] <graingert> cheater99, actually this is already supported: let's have it select (but not open) files in nautilus, let's have it select and open files in another file browser [12:07] <canbrais> ubuntu was my first linux op when i started learning abpout linux [12:07] <remoteCTR1> can anybody recommend me a really goog stereo speaker system?

[12:28] <iceroot> mcmlxxi: i guess depending on the printer [12:29] <ziroday> mcmlxxi: the printing setup application should do that automatically for you [12:29] <Dr_Willis> mcmlxxi: id be suprised iof you even find any on the printer makers sites.. [12:29] <ActionParsnip> aaron11_: ok thats good, then some firewall is blocking the connection or the service isnt running, or its running on a different port you expect [12:29] <graingert> pcbugfixer, cool [12:29] <neil_d> pcbugfixer: ok bye [12:29] <graingert> pcbugfixer, I will buy a beer to celebrate [12:29] <mcmlxxi> ziroday, do what?

[12:33] <graingert> chris8, especially at root access [12:33] <bullgard4> ziroday: How can I determine what the driver of my wireless network card is? [12:33] <chris8> GG: reinstall the whole operating system? [12:33] <ziroday> chris8: does this happen when you create a new user? [12:33] <ziroday> bullgard4: what card is it? [12:34] <ziroday> chris8: (as in create a new test user, play sounds. Distortion?) [12:34] <chris8> Ziroday: the sound distortion is affecting all past users [12:34] <graingert> chris8, yep, that'l teach you for installing non-repo software [12:34] <Dr_Willis> panfist: theres some apt commands taht can remove/clean the /var/cache/archives directory. that can get quite large at times [12:34] <graingert> chris8 ;-) [12:34] <chris8> GG: thanks :S [12:34] <yogg> Has anyone an idea which software I should use to monitor a hw raid? [12:34] <bullgard4> ziroday: It is an Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG [Calexico2]. [12:34] <ActionParsnip> panfist: to clear old debs out to free space run: sudo apt-get clean [12:34] <anselm> pcbugfixer: iwconfig will show you === cheater99 is now known as cheater [12:35] <ziroday> bullgard4: right well then its most likely the err [12:35] <chris8> GG : oh god reinstalling took forever [12:35] <chris8> Ziroday: think i may be able to fix my sound problem? [12:35] <bullgard4> ziroday: I beg your pardon? I cannot see any error. [12:35] * Dr_Willis wonders how apt-get autoclean differs from apt-get clean === cheater is now known as cheater99 [12:36] <Dr_Willis> clean 'really really' cleans it out. :) autoclean just removed some. [12:36] <ziroday> bullgard4: sorry was trying to remember the name. The driver is ipw2200, it should appear in lsmod [12:36] <ziroday> chris8: nope, sorry! But I can make the reinstall easier ::) [12:36] <panfist> dr_willis and actionparsnip, thanks [12:36] <anselm> bullgard4: iwconfig will show you the driver and the card name [12:37] <chris8> Ziroday: i'll take anything! I just upgraded this OS to jaunty from 8.04.... [12:37] <chris8> took forever [12:37] <mauro> hi guys, does anyone know how to gzip all files and directories in one gzip file? [12:38] <ziroday> chris8: I can imagine. What you need to do is backup your /home/<username> folder to an external drive. Upon reinstall create a new user with the same name and copy that folder back across (including hidden folders) and you're documents and settings should be preserved [12:38] <ziroday> chris8: that and head over to synaptic and get a package list, so you can load that in next install. Or you may want to start fresh === Ricky_ is now known as Guest18793 [12:40] <chris8> Ziroday: can't i just reinstall jaunty from the website? [12:40] <chris8> Ziroday: or will it only download what it *thinks* should be updated? === mauro is now known as mauro_ [12:41] <chris8> Ziroday: i did a full OS upgrade from intrepid to jaunty online w/o having to backup any local files... [12:41] <ziroday> chris8: no, no. You copy across your /home/username folder and a package *list* to your external drive. Then you install jaunty and copy your /home/username folder back into your new install and load up the package list. That way your settings and documents and installed programs will all be saved [12:41] <mcmlxxi> ziroday, when I try to print something, it says Unable to connect to CIFS host and NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME. should I ask in #samba or what? [12:42] <ziroday> chris8: OS reinstalls and OS upgrades are very different [12:42] <ziroday> mcmlxxi: sure [12:42] <chris8> ziroday: so to reinstall i hafta format the harddrive etc... [12:43] <shadowmancer> hey all [12:43] <shadowmancer> i'm looking for some clarification here [12:43] <ziroday> chris8: not format, but overwrite. You can format if you want to [12:43] <Dr_Willis> mcmlxxi: you may want to check your /etc/samba/smb.conf to be sure its set to the same workgroup as you are wanting to access [12:43] <NinjA-77> Jason_0123 [12:43] <shadowmancer> i got 9.04 on an intel celeron 2.6 single core [12:43] <shadowmancer> and its runnning like windows vista but slower\ [12:43] <aaron11_> ActionParsnip: noone is responding [12:43] <shadowmancer> its got a gig of ram [12:43] <chris8> ziroday: can't i just somehow completely reinstall all the audio from jaunty? :( [12:43] <mcmlxxi> Dr_Willis, my own? [12:43] <shadowmancer> and a radeon 9250 [12:43] <ActionParsnip> shadowmancer: what video card? [12:43] <ziroday> chris8: nope [12:44] <Dr_Willis> mcmlxxi: yes.. and be sure the names are set the same..... [12:44] <ActionParsnip> shadowmancer: have you installed at ATi driver for your card yet? [12:44] <chris8> ziroday: what about some hidden setting that i may be overlooking? [12:44] <ziroday> chris8: you'll have to go find that :) [12:44] <mcmlxxi> Dr_Willis, they are the same [12:44] <Dr_Willis> mcmlxxi: windows boxs like to default to one name.. and ubuntu defaults to a different one i recall [12:44] <ActionParsnip> aaron11_: its not an ubuntu issue so isnt supported here [12:44] <chris8> ziroday: is there a special audio help channel? [12:44] <shadowmancer> yes [12:44] <Dr_Willis> mcmlxxi: i normally always install the full samba server package and other related tools also. could be somthing is missing. [12:44] <ziroday> chris8: #ubuntu-audio or #ubuntu-sound perhaps [12:44] <shadowmancer> and even when i was running the onboard it was the same [12:44] <ActionParsnip> shadowmancer: are you running desktop effects per chance? [12:44] <chris8> ziroday: thank you for the hellp :P [12:45] <shadowmancer> no made sure not to [12:45] <Dr_Willis> mcmlxxi: i also always give the linux users samba passwords identical to their windows passwords with 'sudo smbpasswd -a username' [12:45] <shadowmancer> no made sure not to [12:45] <ActionParsnip> shadowmancer: could use a lighter DE like LXDE, XFCE, Fluxbox etc [12:45] <ActionParsnip> Dr_Willis: can use $USER for that ;) [12:45] <shadowmancer> can't [12:45] <Bendt> ? Cannot disable screensaver in ubuntu 9.04. Kiosk computer keeps turning screen black. [12:46] <shadowmancer> my gf needs the comp [12:46] <shadowmancer> its hers [12:46] <shadowmancer> and she wants to run WoW :( [12:46] <Dr_Willis> ActionParsnip: i do it for all the users... all 5 of us. :) [12:46] <ActionParsnip> shadowmancer: WoW will still run no matter what DE you use [12:46] <mcmlxxi> Dr_Willis, but I used to be able to print before I upgraded to jaunty (I think that was the time) [12:46] <Dr_Willis> mcmlxxi: check the samba logs and cups logs I guess.. [12:46] <shadowmancer> serious i thought wine would cause a couple issues without gnome [12:46] <shadowmancer> or so i assumed [12:47] <shadowmancer> and i don't think its the DE [12:47] <Dr_Willis> shadowmancer: compiz Can cause issues with games in wine [12:47] <bullgard4> anselm: Where do you find in http://pastebin.ca/1585848 the driver and the card name? [12:47] <incorrect> can anyone get the movie trailers on apple to play in their browser? [12:47] <ActionParsnip> shadowmancer: none at all, a lighter DE will just be more responsive on the desktop, when the game runs it will be fullscren so it doesnt matter [12:47] <shadowmancer> like i run firefox and it swallows the resources like michael jackson and little boys [12:47] <bazhang> shadowmancer, that is not appropriate for here [12:47] <tavi> how can i switch from an aplciation to another ? [12:48] <shadowmancer> i apologize [12:48] <Blizzerand> tavi : aplciation ?? , whats thaT [12:48] <ActionParsnip> shadowmancer: it does that, try a lighter browser like swiftfox, kazenchase or firepup [12:48] <ActionParsnip> shadowmancer: or try opera, chromium etc [12:48] <shadowmancer> what about galeon [12:48] <mcmlxxi> Dr_Willis, this is the latest message in /var/log/cups/access.log localhost - - [30/Sep/2009:14:42:53 +0300] "POST / HTTP/1.1" 200 163 Get-Job-Attributes successful-ok [12:49] <ActionParsnip> shadowmancer: that too, or midori [12:49] <Jyxt> shadowmancer: dillo is a good lightweight browser as well [12:49] <ActionParsnip> shadowmancer: despite what people think, there are more browsers than firefox [12:49] <tavi> from an aplicattion [12:49] <anselm> bullgard4: sorry On my computer it's there [12:49] <brijith> Please help me ...

[13:30] <prappl93> So, PCSPKR is the internal card then? [13:31] <Dr_Willis> prappl93: its the internal SPEAKER :) thats not the same as a interna sound card [13:31] <prappl93> Well, thats what I meant... I gotta go in a few [13:31] <Dr_Willis> prappl93: motherboards normally have a built in little bitty speaker.

[14:40] <erUSUL> cheslyn: yes you can reset any login password if you have access to the machine [14:40] <puffinman> can anybody tell me what time the Karmic beta is due out? [14:40] <Jill> hi all.. ubuntu 8.04 support until 2011 or 2013? [14:40] <grawity> Darck1: (And look at /etc/init.d/) [14:40] <erUSUL> puffinman: ask in #ubuntu+1 [14:40] <puffinman> sure [14:40] <puffinman> thanks [14:40] <vojacekj_> but wehn i calibrate it and change the files and restart xubuntu the tablet is not workink [14:41] <Darck1> yeah thanks grawit - I already said that.

[14:41] <CybeRebel> hello, my dvd/cd drive has stoped mounting, anyone know if this is a ubuntu problem? [14:41] <erUSUL> cheslyn: what password are you talking about ? [14:42] <llutz> Darck1: /etc/default/rcS [14:42] <Darck1> I guess nobody understood my question. I KNOW that I can just use a different directory - and I am going to [14:42] <grawity> Darck1: Hm. grep -R tmp /etc/rc* then? [14:42] <Darck1> but I am trying to learn and I want to know WHY it's getting cleaned out and HOW it's getting cleaned out - ie. What process is doing it [14:43] <lizzzy> So, I installed a couple of themes and screwed up the layout of ubuntu. How can I revert back to my original theme? [14:43] <erUSUL> Darck1: yes we understood /tmp is cleaned up on every reboot becouse it was designed that way. llutz already told you waht process (init) is doing it [14:43] <cheslyn> erusul:a administrator passwd [14:43] <Darck1> thank you grawity === kb is now known as Guest56015 [14:43] <eni23> hello. i got a problem with my intern soundcard. nothing sounds anymore but my extern (hdsp hammerfall) is still working. firefox and vmware does play sound with rme hammerfall all the other programms are muted (i choosed the rme on ubuntu-sound-config). wtf is this??? here is my /dev/sndstat: http://pastebin.com/m1eb2d9fc [14:43] <grawity> cheslyn: Boot to recovery mode, use 'passwd your-username-here' [14:43] <sheepsy> The binary driver howto (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia) speaks of nvidia-glx-legacy, nvidia-glx-new available in restricted. I have restricted enabled in my software sources, but aptitude search only comes up with nvidia-glx and nvidia-glx-* and nvidia-glx-*-dev [14:43] <erUSUL> cheslyn: you want to change it ? go to System>Admin>Users and groups [14:44] <Darck1> I was too busy typing to see llutz's comment [14:44] <eni23> how can i fix this crap? [14:44] <Darck1> thank you llutz [14:44] <llutz> Darck1: /etc/init.d/mountall-bootclean.sh [14:44] <cheslyn> erusul: in command [14:44] <JonathanD> 6 [14:45] <mikinanuq> eni23: checked alsamixer? [14:45] <erUSUL> cheslyn: man passwd. « passwd username » [14:45] <cheslyn> grawity: thanks but not the user passwd [14:45] <grawity> cheslyn: What then? The 'sudo' password? [14:45] <foey> Are there any guides to setting up SAMBA from the terminal, as in users, share folders e.t.c. [14:46] <lizzzy> So, I installed a couple of themes and screwed up the layout of ubuntu. How can I revert back to my original theme? [14:46] <luizfelipe> #fedora [14:46] <eni23> mikinanuq: jeah, it just shows some config-options for the hdsp-soundcard [14:46] <cheslyn> grawity: yes perhaps [14:46] <grawity> cheslyn: But it is the same user password. [14:47] <eni23> i control the soundcard over a programm named "hdspmixer" (alsa-stuff) [14:47] <gamla_kossan> hi people [14:47] <gamla_kossan> how come the new release of ubuntu will ditch pidgin in favor of empathy? [14:47] <gamla_kossan> anyone have a clue? [14:47] <cheslyn> grawity: ok but is that the passwd you use to login no [14:47] <mikinanuq> lizzzy: you can recreate your profile by renaming .gnome in your home directory... if it doesn't look right just name it back. [14:47] <grawity> cheslyn: Yes, the same. [14:48] <eni23> mikinanuq: ok i guess normally the "hda intel" is number 0 and hdsp nummer 2. but right now it's switched [14:48] <eni23> how can i change? [14:48] <Qu4R0w> frog: try iptraf [14:48] <mikinanuq> lizzzy: all of your settings are in your home dir. just mess around with them [14:49] <cheslyn> grawity:ok but i don't want 2 reset that passwd.ok what other passwd do you get [14:50] <mikinanuq> eni23: I think you may be able to load the modules manually for your devices and specify on boot what you want [14:50] <Darck1> there - I learned something. Thanks. I found that /tmp is cleaned out by bootclean.sh and I can add an exception for my undelete files directory [14:50] <alabd> good day everyone ,after installing nvidia-glx-180 packagehow to use nvidia driver ? [14:50] <lizzzy> mikinanuq: Will do that. Thanks. [14:50] <grawity> Darck1: And like I said, it is better to use a separate directory, instead of mucking with init scripts. [14:50] <erUSUL> gamla_kossan: ask in #ubuntu+1 [14:50] <grawity> cheslyn: There usually are only two passwords: the user password (used for administration and such), and root password (in Ubuntu, there is no password by default) [14:50] <gamla_kossan> erUSUL: =) [14:51] <cheslyn> grawity: so how do you change the root passwd [14:52] <grawity> cheslyn: Do you REALLY need to do it? [14:52] <frogzoo> cheslyn: there is NO need for root access [14:52] <mikinanuq> eni23: do an lsmod and ceck out those devices, copy the values for your hda intel and hdsp. [14:52] <grawity> cheslyn: Because 'sudo' (or 'sudo -s') is enough for all commands. [14:52] <Darck1> grawity: Absolutely correct. And I will. I just had to learn how it did it and how I could get around it if I needed to. But I will be using a different directory [14:53] <mikinanuq> eni23: then man modprobe look at how to unload those modules and load them back in with the correct values. [14:53] <cheslyn> grawity: i know but i really want 2 know if you can tell me please [14:53] <grawity> cheslyn: Run 'passwd root' as root. [14:53] <mikinanuq> eni23: use modprobe to load the modules and if everything works fine use modules.conf to set it permanently [14:54] <mikinanuq> eni23: ah it's /etc/modules where you load your module config [14:55] <panopticon> unless i miss my guess, firefox is using the totem-gstreamer plugin for certain media plugins? [14:56] <cheslyn> grawity: thanks so what do you mean as root [14:58] <Carpe|Diem> how can I see on what device i am working? I used fdisk /dev/sda but how can i see on what device i am? [14:58] <Carpe|Diem> fstab? [14:59] <nomoa> Carpe|Diem: What do you mean by "i am working"? [14:59] <Carpe|Diem> yes [14:59] <Carpe|Diem> you see [14:59] <Carpe|Diem> i have a windows installation and a ubuntu installation [14:59] <Carpe|Diem> also, i have a windows 7 installation [14:59] <mikinanuq> cheslyn: you can sudo passwd root and change the root password. or do sudo su - and then when your in your command as root run passwd [14:59] <Carpe|Diem> but this ubuntu does not use c: or d: [14:59] <Carpe|Diem> so i need to know what partition to format, since i will switch to a different linux distro [15:00] <nomoa> Carpe|Diem: run "mount" or "df" to see what partitions are in use by your system [15:00] <mikinanuq> hmm gotta do better engrish [15:00] <Carpe|Diem> ok df worked fine [15:00] <Carpe|Diem> its /dev/sda1 ;) [15:00] <Carpe|Diem> ty :D [15:01] <cheslyn> mikinanuq: thanks [15:01] <grawity> mikinanuq: It's better to use 'sudo -s' or 'sudo -i', instead of 'sudo su'. [15:02] <mikinanuq> not sure what the -s or -i is for. [15:02] <mikinanuq> never use them [15:03] <llutz> mikinanuq: man sudo tells you the difference [15:03] <Halitech> mikinanuq, man sudo will tell you [15:04] <kyja> Ranger TUX says, "Only you can prevent iceberg fires" [15:05] <luizfelipe> help [15:05] <kyja> I don't know if I can but shoot [15:05] <mikinanuq> llutz Halitech .. I'm a humble man so I'll say Thank you I didn't know that ;) ... [15:06] <cetanhota> whats a good light weight mail client? [15:06] <llutz> cetanhota: mutt [15:07] <genii> pine/alpine also isn't horrible [15:07] <eni23> mikinanuq: snd_hda_intel is 3 and snd_hdsp is 2. now i have to: modprobe -r snd_hda_intel && modprobe -r snd_hdsp && modprobe snd_hda_intel && modprobe snd_hdsp ? is this correct? [15:10] <mikinanuq> eni23: I say it can't hurt so give it a shot [15:10] <kyja> were we just flooded by a bot [15:11] <mikinanuq> eni23: also, does it assign the device ID or number in the order it's loaded or do you have to specify the number you want to give it? [15:11] <mikinanuq> eni23: you may need to experiment a bit for that one [15:11] <Boohbah> mikinanuq: i believe the UUID comes from the hardware itself [15:12] <Petaris> Hi, is there an IRC channel for the netbook remix? [15:12] <eni23> mikinanuq: FATAL: Module snd_hda_intel is in use. i tried --force [15:12] <Boohbah> Petaris: ask here if it's a current release [15:13] <andyL> hello [15:13] <Petaris> Boohbah: Ok, I just need to find out how to reset a lost password on it [15:13] <Boohbah> Petaris: a lost root passwd?

(samba is installed) [15:14] <edbian> How can I set up NIS so that sudo works throughout my network? Is there a way to also push out my /etc/sudoers from my server to my clients? [15:14] <Boohbah> Petaris: if you can get to a grub menu you want to choose "Recovery mode" [15:15] <hackerkid1031> Hey Anyone Here Really good with Ubuntu?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [15:15] <Petaris> Boohbah: How do you get to the grub menu though? Pressing ESC doesn't bing it up, neither does tab [15:15] <thiebaude> hackerkid1031, what is your question? [15:15] <mikinanuq> eni23: brb :( at work [15:16] <bluebaron> how do i restart my jvm?

[15:42] <eni23> mikinanuq: i stopped pulseaudio and alsa-utils [15:42] <SingAlong> chucky: ya. lighter :) hey wait. what config is yours? you need a lighter distro for a netbook? [15:42] <eni23> but nothing changed === abms1116 is now known as abms1116|brb [15:43] <chucky> SingAlong, ibm thinpad r40 256 ram im on xubuntu [15:43] <SingAlong> Halitech: well IDK. when i read their page around 2yrs back it said so i guess. [15:43] <chucky> Halitech, downloadin opera.. [15:43] <hackerkid1031> Also really quick i am usin xirc can i disable the messages about people leaving and joining? [15:43] <Dr_Willis> The next incarnation of puppy is to 'use' the ubuntu repos.. its not ubuntu based from what i read. :) if that makes sence. [15:43] <SingAlong> Halitech: no i guess they arent based on ubuntu. but sure on debian. its been days since i visited their page :) [15:43] <Boohbah> shane2peru: maybe one of these will work: https://launchpad.net/~siretart/+ppa-packages [15:43] <SingAlong> chucky: i've got exactly what you'll need :) [15:43] <chucky> SingAlong, debian based [15:43] * Dr_Willis points to #puppylinux [15:44] <SingAlong> chucky: wait a sec. listen. [15:44] <chucky> SingAlong, what..? [15:44] <Halitech> SingAlong, I know dsl is based on debian but I thought (could be wrong) that puppy is its own distro [15:44] <gnubie> http://www.puppylinux.com/about.htm says it is built from scratch [15:44] <mikinanuq> eni23: hmm, hold a sec [15:44] <my_haz> How does the screensaver know that nothing has happened in X amount of time (20 minutes), how can get something else to happen other than the screensaver go off it nothing happens in Y amount of time [15:44] <yuhu> hola [15:44] <SingAlong> chucky: install ubuntu. the latest version and change your desktop manager to lxde. lxde is lighter than xfce. [15:44] <shane2peru> Boohbah: ok, I will give check out one of those. If I knew what configuration option to use with ffmpeg, I could probably just re-configure it. [15:45] <yuhu> alguien k me ayude para instalar una pinnacle [15:45] <thiebaude> !es | yuhu [15:45] <ubottu> yuhu: 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. [15:45] <duffydack> shane2peru, what lib are you talking about. [15:45] <thiebaude> !pinnacle [15:45] <ubottu> Sorry, I don't know anything about pinnacle [15:45] <ra21vi> can i restrict users to browse/upload/download files thru SSH/SFTP to a single directory [15:45] <shane2peru> duffydack: watermark.so [15:46] <ra21vi> I want to have an alternative to FTP, so thinking about the SFTP [15:46] <shane2peru> duffydack: <- that is hard to type even the first two letters correctly I want to type da(tab). :) [15:46] <cognitiaclaeves> The last time I ran open office, it crashed my entire desktop. I'd like to run it again, but this time, from the console, and capture any errors that it generates into a text file. can I do that with: ooffice -writer %F > oofice_output.txt 2>&1 ? [15:46] <SingAlong> chucky: i use lxde on my netbook and use eclipse on it. and it works just fine. (eclipse is a heavy dev tool) [15:46] <Trizicus> What can I use to allow my PS3 recognize ubuntu as a media server; any suggestions? [15:46] <crescendo> Is there a way to run the textual installer from the LiveCD? [15:46] <Halitech> chucky, if you want to get a better responsive system, do the minimal install and install lxde http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/minimal [15:46] <mikinanuq> eni23: trying to see if there's a way to see what's holding up the module [15:46] <chucky> SingAlong, can i upgrade the desktop manager on xubuntu? [15:46] <cognitiaclaeves> crescendo: You might need an alt disc. [15:46] <shane2peru> duffydack: it is for vhook with ffmpeg to watermark videos [15:47] <SingAlong> chucky: ya just search for lxde on the synaptic pkg mgr. you'll find it [15:47] <SingAlong> chucky: but one thing. [15:47] <SingAlong> chucky: its still under dev but its nice. [15:47] <crescendo> cognitiaclaeves: that's what I was fearing. :[ [15:47] <crescendo> cognitiaclaeves: I have it downloaded and burned, but I need to be able to use apps on this same box while I run an install on another disk [15:47] <SingAlong> chucky: b/w dont install this pkg called lxnm. which is the lx network mgr. its broken and the normal network mgr works fine there. [15:47] <newabz> hi [15:48] <newabz> i need some help on ubuntu.. can anyone help me please.. [15:48] <Halitech> !help | newabz [15:48] <ubottu> newabz: 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. :-) [15:48] <joaopinto> !anyone | newabz [15:48] <ubottu> newabz: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [15:48] <SingAlong> chucky: and when you use wifi you might have to type in "nm-applet" in commandline to start the network manager applet to detect your wifi connections. [15:48] <newabz> !help [15:48] <newabz> !anyone [15:48] <newabz> ok i'll ask [15:48] <duffydack> shane2peru, hmm, generally, you have to get the source package and drop into the libavcodec folder of the ffmpeg source, to be able to --enable-whatever [15:48] <cognitiaclaeves> crescendo: I don't think I quite understand what you are trying to do... [15:48] <coffeej> i'm trying to backup xorg.conf but it tells me "No such file or directory" how do i proceed [15:48] <SingAlong> chucky: you can just add nm-applet to your startup :) [15:49] <iceroot> coffeej: post your line you are using to backup [15:49] <newabz> i wanted to know the stability of dual OS i.e vista with ubunta. bit scared 'coz never installed or used before.. [15:49] <Halitech> coffeej, sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.old [15:49] <SingAlong> chucky: so just go straight to your synaptic and install lxde without a second thought. its nice too. dont expect it to be dumb just because i said its lighter than xfce :) [15:49] <iceroot> coffeej:sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.original ? [15:49] <shane2peru> duffydack: ok, I built from source, let me check that out [15:49] <duffydack> shane2peru, been a while since i compiled ffmpeg, but just do ./configure to list all the options available...if a watermark one is not there, you`d need to add the dev files for it. [15:49] <SingAlong> chucky: there's currently no trash in lxde. delete and it does straight out. :) [15:50] <newabz> huh.. no one is helping me yet [15:50] <newabz> :( [15:50] <duffydack> shane2peru, thats how I integrated libamr (3gp) [15:50] <eni23> mikinanuq: i killed everything, but still the same [15:50] <coffeej> iceroot:cp etc/x11/xorg.conf /etc/x11/xorg.conf.backup [15:50] <timgws> I am trying to convince a friend to move to Ubuntu and was telling her about the great support. [15:50] <iceroot> coffeej: X11 instead of x11 [15:50] <timgws> Anyone here to back me up? [15:50] <iceroot> coffeej: you can use tab for such things [15:50] <Blackbird2> What does it mean when GParted is "moving the file system to the right" and why does it take an eternity compared to everything else you can do with a filesystem? [15:50] <iceroot> !tab | coffeej [15:50] <ubottu> coffeej: You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [15:51] <crescendo> cognitiaclaeves: I am trying to use the text installer in a terminal window (so I can configure LVM+LUKS+special partitions) while still using IRC and some GUI-only apps on the same box. [15:51] <chucky> SingAlong, so xfce4 goes straight out? [15:51] <coffeej> iceroot: thanks [15:51] <kallepersson> Where can I get the latest Karmic beta? The link on http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/karmic/alpha3#Download%20Alpha%203 is 404 [15:51] <Serendippo> newabz: dual OS's don't affect each others stability. if you install ubuntu, a bootmanager will be installed that'll give you the choice which OS to boot. [15:51] <iceroot> timgws: you have a ubuntu-related support-question? [15:51] <chucky> SingAlong, no issues with xubuntu n im on 256mb ram also it got a good interface and fast right...? [15:51] <timgws> iceroot: not at all, just showing my friend that Linux community > Windows [15:51] <SingAlong> chucky: no you can keep that as well. :) [15:51] <eni23> mikinanuq: hold on. i will do a killall5 [15:51] <dtownhero> morning - got my wife a new dell studio 17 yesterday and wiped windows from it. Her sound is VERY low after installing Ubuntu... any ideas? [15:51] <iceroot> timgws: of course [15:51] <SingAlong> chucky: if you like xfce you can keep it :) [15:52] <timgws> well, I know that :P [15:52] <SingAlong> chucky: just said lxde is lighter. you can keep both lxde and xfce and use them whenever you need [15:52] <mikinanuq> eni23: yeah not sure what it could be, maybe there's a module that depends on the hda intel module .. etc [15:52] <cognitiaclaeves> crescendo: If I'm understanding you correctly, you can't install a system onto another drive without being fully immersed in the install process. ... unless you are installing into a VM. [15:52] <SingAlong> dtownhero: type in alsamixer in your terminal and increase the volume there [15:52] <shane2peru> duffydack: ok, thanks for the pointers! I did a locate watermark.so and it is nowhere to be found on my system, so I doubt I have it even in those folders. [15:52] <chucky> SingAlong, how do i use different desktop environments? [15:53] <cognitiaclaeves> crescendo: ( but if you are installing into a VM, that's not directly to disk. ) [15:53] <dtownhero> SingAlong, it is at full volume [15:53] <root> hello [15:53] <iceroot> chucky: at same time? [15:53] <duffydack> shane2peru, actually, configure and install the watermark from source.. then you can --enable [15:53] <SingAlong> dtownhero: when you get your login screen go to options and select the desktop session and then select xfce or lxde :) [15:53] <hackerkid1031> ok cool [15:53] <ubuntu> !PartitionManager [15:53] <ubottu> PartitionManager is a !KDE !GUI partitioning program. Use !KPackageKit, !Adept or !Synaptic to install or type « sudo apt-get install partitionmanager » in a !terminal [15:53] <dtownhero> SingAlong, LOL [15:53] <iceroot> root: using irc as root? [15:53] <crescendo> cognitiaclaeves: now there's an idea - I could run the installer in a VM, but map my hard disk through the VM... the installer wouldn't know the difference === root is now known as Guest22781 [15:53] <SingAlong> dtownhero: when you type in alsamixer you get a window in your terminal. [15:53] <Guest22781> how to save my net cinfiguration [15:53] <Keiffer> do you know if one can install/run Adobe Photoshop and Corel apps on linux? [15:53] <chucky> SingAlong, no differently its just 20gb ram on d hard disk.. [15:53] <dtownhero> SingAlong, She likes gnome - yeah, you're right... I did not try it from term... one sec [15:53] <duffydack> think I might update my ffmpeg .... [15:53] <Guest22781> how to save my net configuration [15:53] <shane2peru> duffydack: looks like that is my only option atm, thanks. [15:53] <crescendo> cognitiaclaeves: ugh, that would be such a slow install, though.... I happen to be installing to EEPROM. :( [15:54] <dtownhero> SingAlong, and for what its worth KDE4 is BLEH! [15:54] <SingAlong> dtownhero: over there just go to the next few sliders... not the first slider. the next few sliders. increase them and it'll work fine. [15:54] <iceroot> Guest22781: you mean your network-configuration? [15:54] <espenel> yo [15:54] <SingAlong> dtownhero: why? you like kde4? [15:54] <Guest22781> when rebooting,it will lost [15:54] <chucky> SingAlong, so im still skeptical...i think it slightly hangs ..very slightly.. [15:54] <espenel> confidential [15:54] <shane2peru> duffydack: I followed FakeOutdoorsmans guide on the forums, I'll get you the link if you like [15:54] <cognitiaclaeves> crescendo: EEPROM? So, an embedded install, then? [15:54] <SingAlong> chucky: what do you mean? [15:54] <hackerkid1031> i found out to disable the annoying messages in xchat irc about someone joining/leaving that you type "/*SET irc_conf_mode 1 "Replace * with nothing aka no space [15:54] <ic56> I want to run two instances of evince (PDF viewer) on the same document. I use CLI. When I try to start the 2nd instance, I get "Attempt to register the same DBusConnection with the message bus, but it is already registered". How do I work around this? [15:54] <Guest22781> i use ifconfig to do that [15:54] <crescendo> cognitiaclaeves: more or less, a USB key [15:55] <shane2peru> duffydack: here is the guide I used, pretty decent. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=786095 [15:55] <Dr_Willis> hackerkid1031: so you read the docs? :) [15:55] <chucky> SingAlong, my xfce 4 hangs is what im sayin,...n how do i switch between desktop environments i have no clue.. [15:55] <cognitiaclaeves> crescendo: Oh, ok. Well, that might go faster than you think, then. [15:55] <dtownhero> SingAlong, That worked, TYVM [15:55] <Guest22781> SOS [15:55] <chucky> SingAlong, size considerations also matter [15:55] <SingAlong> dtownhero: you need to do alsamixer from term. the volume applet in gnome, uses the max volume as the volume you set in alsamixer. :) so you need to go to alsamixer to get your sound right. [15:55] <mikinanuq> Enissay: there's some moduse utility but it looks like it's not in the repos. [15:55] <Halitech> chucky, log out and at the log in screen, click on sessions and select lxde [15:55] <SingAlong> dtownhero: np. you are welcome :) [15:55] <crescendo> cognitiaclaeves: know of a quick way to check the transfer rate and/or the USB connection type? (usb 1.0 vs. 2.0) [15:55] <cognitiaclaeves> crescendo: ( I don't recall USB installs taking a long time. ) -- I haven't done it myself, though. [15:55] <hackerkid1031> no [15:55] <dtownhero> SingAlong, yep, all fixed.. appreciate it very much. I'd send cookies but I don't know your address! :p [15:56] <kaffien> how do i make a ubuntu server sync time with a time server? [15:56] <hackerkid1031> i googled it it took about 4 times [15:56] <hackerkid1031> ... [15:56] <jrib> ic56: have you tried evinte --help? [15:56] <execute> anyone knows any software like "the all seeing eye" that runs on linux ? [15:56] <crescendo> cognitiaclaeves: I tried to install last weekend, it took over 60 hours total [15:56] <SingAlong> chucky: what size? the lxde pkg is very small :) [15:56] <kaffien> i don't want it to BE a time server i just want it to sync with one [15:56] <dtownhero> SingAlong, no, I don't like KDE4 - the old KDE was OK but 4 is like bloat central [15:56] <newabz> quit [15:56] <jrib> ic56: without the typo of course :) [15:56] <jtheuer> Hi, I'm looking for a platform independant storage provider (sync, backup, multiple users, ...) ubuntuone is ubuntu only and sugarsync for example only supports win/mac. Any recommendations? [15:56] <newabz> exit [15:56] <dtownhero> even more bloated then gnome [15:56] <cognitiaclaeves> crescendo: Umm.. perhaps lspci. [15:56] <duffydack> shane2peru, if you mean fakeoutdoorsman`s , yeah..... have a look http://lists.mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/ffmpeg-user/2009-March/019397.html [15:56] <newabz> logout [15:56] <newabz> Quit [15:56] <hackerkid1031> ok so how do i install ANY version of LINUX from the internet using a live cd? (NOT installing off the LIVE CD as its CORRUPTED!) [15:56] <newabz> Exit [15:56] <jrib> newabz: /quit [15:56] <newabz> thanks [15:56] <SingAlong> dtownhero: ya. agree. i use lxde on my netbook coz i use heavy dev tools like eclipse. [15:56] <crescendo> cognitiaclaeves: I'm just not sure which ports are running at 2.0 speeds [15:56] <iceroot> newabz: /quit [15:56] <cognitiaclaeves> crescendo: Last I heard, there was an issue with the swapping on a USB drive. It tended to burn out USB drives. [15:56] <SingAlong> dtownhero: i liked the older kde. the new one is very glossy. [15:57] <Halitech> hackerkid1031, I don't think you can [15:57] <Dr_Willis> hackerkid1031: i recall some guides for doing it.. but never done so.. it involves a lot of command line work. [15:57] <ic56> jrib: I read the manpage. Thank you for suggesting --help [15:57] <ic56> let me take a look. [15:57] <fastputty> what is the option with Make command to use multiple thread? i forget [15:57] <SingAlong> dtownhero: my desktop comp (3gb ram) runs gnome. i'm satisfied with it. so i dont change it :) [15:57] <Dr_Willis> hackerkid1031: may be easier to just go get a new cd/download the iso and put it on flash [15:57] <duffydack> shane2peru, something about vhook.... never touched it myself... [15:57] <crescendo> cognitiaclaeves: it's a bit less of a concern these days, but I am using a custom partition scheme that doesn't use a swap [15:57] <fastputty> nvm foundi t [15:57] <dtownhero> SingAlong, they always said they wanted to be lighter then gnome but I think they lost that mission statement somewhere :p [15:57] <cognitiaclaeves> crescendo: That may have been why it took so long then. [15:57] <hackerkid1031> do you remember the website? i have 2 comps the one im on now(laptop) and the one thats not working (desktop) [15:58] <dtownhero> Again much appreciated sir, have a wonderful day! ;-) [15:58] <shane2peru> duffydack: you got the google fu today! hmm, seems to be going out! vhook is used to watermark you video. [15:58] <llutz> hackerkid1031: try boot.kernel.org [15:58] <speedhunt3r> hi, I am trying to enable effects back after falling back to my onboard card, how do I make X recheck for drivers? right now its using failsafe [15:58] <cognitiaclaeves> crescendo: ... but I don't really know; Like I said, I haven't tried to do this. [15:58] <shane2peru> duffydack: odd, for once seems I need an older version, not the newer. lol :) [15:58] <crescendo> cognitiaclaeves: mayhap, but I'd think that would only apply when I actually booted that system - the installer SHOULD use a ramdisk with my actual RAM... right? [15:58] <jrib> ic56: hmm I thought sm-client-disable would be enough, but doesn't seem so... [15:58] <SingAlong> dtownhero: :D [15:58] <hackerkid1031> i dont have a cd burner it broke * by broke i mean i have a little bro who stuck playdough in it i h8 kids! [15:58] <hackerkid1031> THANKS YOU LLUTZ [15:58] <SingAlong> dtownhero: after using lxde even xfce seems bloated now :D [15:58] <jrib> ic56: you know you can do it from the gui with file > "open a copy"? [15:59] <cognitiaclaeves> crescendo: I would think so, yeah. [15:59] <crescendo> lol, xfce bloated. [15:59] <thiebaude> speedhunt3r, which graphics card [15:59] <Halitech> hackerkid1031, do you have a usb thumb drive and will the system boot from usb? [15:59] <dtownhero> SingAlong, have you tried enlightenment? [15:59] <speedhunt3r> thiebaude, ati radeon 1250 [15:59] <SingAlong> dtownhero: well i'm planning to switch to stump in a couple of days. so i dont know how I would curse lxde after that :P [15:59] <dtownhero> or w/e it is called [15:59] <SingAlong> dtownhero: nope! [15:59] <cognitiaclaeves> crescendo: I trust that you looked up installing Ubuntu on a USB? I think I saw a link off of the ubuntu site, somewhere. [15:59] <crescendo> cognitiaclaeves: hrm. Well, maybe its time to re-engineer my approach... [15:59] <crescendo> cognitiaclaeves: yes, of course. [15:59] <thiebaude> speedhunt3r, i dont know ati, just nvidia, sorry [15:59] <Halitech> crescendo, xfce isn't bloated, xubuntu is bloated with everything they add to make it "easier" [15:59] <ic56> jrib: I did not know about the GUI. Let me try. [16:00] <cognitiaclaeves> crescendo: I knew a guy that was into doing this. [16:00] <hackerkid1031> no the system wont boot from usb i tried and tryed with Unetbootin [16:00] <chucky> SingAlong, so doesnt make any difference to my computer..just d GUI.. and i use ot from the log in screen right..? [16:00] <speedhunt3r> thiebaude, ty amyway [16:00] <crescendo> cognitiaclaeves: I don't know of a way to use the GUI installer to build a LUKS-encrypted disk, though. [16:00] <thiebaude> speedhunt3r, np [16:00] <cognitiaclaeves> crescendo: I don't think you can. [16:00] <SingAlong> dtownhero: well i have lots of space here on my netbook. so i install window mgrs and just leave it as options and use the one i like as default. i right now have xfce, lxde and gnome on my netbook. but i screwed up my gnome while trying to remove the Ubuntu netbook remix app. so i never used gnome again [16:00] <Halitech> hackerkid1031, do you have another system? you could try a PXE boot install [16:00] <mikinanuq> SingAlong: FVWM-Crystal = awsome, used it for the longest time until my system died. === DaZ__ is now known as DaZ [16:01] <SingAlong> mikinanuq: is it modern enough like lxde atleast? [16:01] <hackerkid1031> The Motherboard (EA81510A) is legacy so no it doesnt support usb boot in bios (newest ver ) P09 [16:01] <crescendo> cognitiaclaeves: maybe I could check the #lvm channel? A lot of the tutorials point to LVM, but I know very little about it. :[ [16:01] <hackerkid1031> yeah [16:01] <hackerkid1031> whats Pxe/ [16:01] <hackerkid1031> ? [16:01] <SingAlong> chucky: it'll just use some space :P [16:01] <cognitiaclaeves> crescendo: hang on a sec... [16:01] <mikinanuq> SingAlong: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FVWM-Crystal [16:02] <Halitech> hackerkid1031, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/WindowsServerNetboot [16:02] <dual> Can somebody help me with grep? http://dpaste.org/trdY/ [16:03] <SingAlong> mikinanuq: whats the minimum ram i need for it? [16:03] <hackerkid1031> i dont have any windows machines... [16:03] <hackerkid1031> but ill look [16:03] <hackerkid1031> at the site [16:03] <jrib> dual: use the quotes [16:03] <SingAlong> mikinanuq: i have 1gb ram on my netbook but i need something that takes up less space coz my dev tools are heavy [16:03] <ic56> jrib: I am using an old Ubuntu (5.10). Could you be more specific about "file> open a copy"? I started File Browser, which I guess is a copy of Nautilus. Navigated to the file I want to view, right clicked on the file, I don't see "open a copy". Am I looking in the right place? [16:03] <engla> So who here maintains planet.ubuntu.com? Can we please turn off the drop shadows, titles are impossible to read [16:04] <SingAlong> mikinanuq: B/w it looks good :) [16:04] <fastputty> is there a way to limit a process to not run over 30% of cpu ? [16:04] <hackerkid1031> crap it requires a Windows computer [16:04] <cognitiaclaeves> crescendo: I pm'ed you. Did you get it? [16:04] <Halitech> hackerkid1031, ok, try this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/NetbootInstallFromInternet [16:04] <dual> jrib, could you give me an example.

Is that a config file that is located somewhere? Log file? [16:51] <SingAlong> mikinanuq: what happened? [16:51] <stefg> defdef: so is it set to bridged or host network ? [16:51] <user2> @defdef: yes, it defines your domain and dns servers. just open it in an editor and look for your nameserver. if its not defined there, you found your problem. [16:51] <mikinanuq> SingAlong: highly configurable. you add a little text file in your .fvwm-crystal/Apps/etc...

[16:55] <stefg> User789: the proprietary nvidia driver brings its own configuration tool (nvidia-settings). But i haven't found an opton in it to select dvi or vga on it. my understanding is that this is some sort of auto-detection on the card itself, and that might be broken, too, along with the dvi output [16:55] <ActionParsnip> whileimhere: you may get a visio viewer to run in wine [16:55] <soc> somehow keyserver.ubuntu.com doesn't load here [16:55] <arand> soc: I t was down before might dtill be [16:55] <mikinanuq> SingAlong: check out this howto, it's informative.

[16:55] <arand> soc: you could try another keyserver.

[16:57] <defdef> Alright I checked resolv.conf and it told me the same thing that ifconfig did- that I have the correct DNS server. To test DNS as an issue though I tried browsing some sites by IP alone, still no response. I think the problem is with VMWARE somehow but I don't know where. Bridged mode is correct, right? [16:58] <nimrod|king> defdef: I always use nat, not bridged [16:58] <user2> @defdef: Bridget means that your VM is connected directly to your network. [16:58] <user2> @defef: try nat.

[17:18] <SingAlong> logout and go to session and select lxde. then go ahead [17:18] <stefg> odonata: like sudo dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb bs=4k [17:18] <nimrod|king> _AaLinux: yes, it's 64bit [17:18] <odonata> stefg, hey_joe: the source drive is a 250gb and the destination drive is a 1000gb [17:19] <mikinanuq> nOStahl: is there anything important on that HD? [17:19] <nOStahl> mikinanuq yes [17:19] <odonata> would that be a problem? [17:19] <chucky> SingAlong, so only lxde thats it not d rest? [17:19] <_AaLinux> nimrod|king: How could you be sure?What was that information from there? [17:19] <^mNotIntelligent> nOStahl, what does : sudo fdisk -l says? [17:19] <Chun1> Hi - all of a sudden I'm without sound, in Jaunty - any advice? Everything is unmuted in volume control, and on full [17:19] <nOStahl> when i mount it in the live cd ubuntu it says mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1, mising codepage or helper program, or other error [17:19] <SingAlong> chucky: yes. only lxde will do. but if it installs other pkgs go ahead. just dont install lxnm [17:20] <mikinanuq> nOStahl: well it could be that the actual hardware broke or just the partition tables or your file system is hosed, any sudden power outage before this problem started? [17:20] <^mNotIntelligent> Chun1, make sure nothing is set to lowest level [17:20] <stefg> odonata: ah, ok. that won't work directly, you'll end up with a 250G partition on the 1TB drive. you could only expand it later with gparted, but i think that'S to unreliable on ntfs drives [17:20] <mikinanuq> nOStahl: any clicking from the hd? [17:20] <nOStahl> mikinanuq its ssd [17:20] <^mNotIntelligent> nOStahl, what filesys do you have on that?

[17:22] <Chun1> ^mNotIntelligent: yep, coupla times [17:23] <^mNotIntelligent> nOStahl, what dmesg has to say regarding your hd ? [17:23] <_AaLinux> nimrod|king: How did you do that , searching? [17:23] <carresmd> dual, did you 'fix' your problem with that string? [17:23] <nimrod|king> _AaLinux: no searching, I just knew from experience.

I have been toying around with your problem as well and I did have a 'fix' [17:24] <grawity> quantum: 110 is only for retrieving mail, it's unrelated. [17:25] <dual> carresmd, 2 sec [17:25] <Chun1> ^mNotIntelligent: currently looking, but all I really have to work with is 'jaunty no sound' and there are probably hundreds of possible causes [17:25] <quantum> grawity, will look at mail.log again, but can't remember anything interesting [17:25] <stefg> !sound | cun1 [17:25] <ubottu> cun1: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).

[17:41] <unoobtu> running the script with bash ./script [17:41] <kisuke> !pgp [17:41] <ubottu> gpg is the GNU Privacy Guard. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto and class #8 on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ClassroomTranscripts [17:41] <stefg> steven__: whatever causes that temparauture: first you need to backup your data then investigate the situation. maybe the drive is just mounted in the wrong place (doesn't get enough airstream), maybe a bearing has failed and the drive is now grinding itself to death. However, i personally never find the trouble with broken drives worth the 50-100 bucks for a new one. half an hour of work... [17:41] <stefg> ...already equals the price for a drive so i'm quick in replacing them [17:41] <ghostlines> does anyone know how to open vim with a line automatically added by default like #!/usr/local/bin/python ?

[17:44] <grawity> JuJuBee: rsync is better for backups because it also checks which files were changed (instead of just copying the entire thing). [17:44] <grawity> JuJuBee: But about cp... try cp ~/x/. ~/y [17:45] <JuJuBee> grawity: ok fair enough... [17:45] <waga> is there any gui thingy for formatting a floppy [17:45] <JuJuBee> grawity: thanks [17:45] <chucky> ZykoticK9, ok thanx..will do so the start up screen is what ur reference is to?

It's the terminal emulator that does. (xterm, gnome-terminal, and such.) The telnet program just passes all data. [17:55] <stefg> unoobtu: so you do not call the script (i.e. start it in its own process), but you source it (in the same process context) [17:55] <dao> is thre a linux mint cannel?

I'd like to learn about Samba, or any other way to communicate Windows' home-network with Ubuntu/Xubuntu. Also I can't find where to download a version that fits Xubuntu in their website. Thanks in advance for your help. [17:56] <nOStahl> i had a power outage on ext4 setup cant boot the computer now. what do i do [17:56] <erUSUL> Baba_B00ie: maybe MUD clients are more featurefull for normal telenet too ? [17:57] <Baba_B00ie> grawity, can you suggest how to get gnome-term to properly display ansi, ascii exended ascii ? === yacc__ is now known as yacc [17:57] <TheCheeze> Ido_, open up the symantec package manager and seach for SAMBA [17:57] <grawity> TheCheeze: Synaptic* [17:57] <grawity> Ido_: In most Linux distributions, software is installed through a package manager. In Ubuntu, the package name is 'samba' - use either Synaptic or apt-get.

[17:59] <Baba_B00ie> ZykoticK9, thanks i have tried qterm in the past w/o good luck. i'll see if i can find the latest devel and it's progress [17:59] <Ido_> grawity: alright, thanks. Is there any info i'd need to know about Samba I won't find in the website directly? Plus, i've been told about it from the Xubuntu server though the guy who told me about it doesn't know much about the program. Can I communicate a Windows computer in my house through Network using it? [17:59] <mikinanuq> nOStahl: you may need to boot to miniPE or puppy, not sure if puppy has data recovery tools. Try to recover what you can then reformat the ext4 in question and start over :( [17:59] <biznock09> can anyone help with trying to get an external modem to work when the drivers are designed for windows === matrix^m is now known as john^m [17:59] <erUSUL> biznock09: dial up modem ? usb or serial ?

(Also, I guess you meant the Xubuntu channel?) [18:00] <erUSUL> biznock09: USB or serial port ? [18:00] <biznock09> usb [18:00] <ZykoticK9> Baba_B00ie, also you could look into adding a vga font "vga.pcf" I had much more success using it to render ANSI/ASCI with gnome-terminal. Good luck man (old school BBSs rule!) [18:00] <stefg> biznock09: forget about the wondows drivers. you can't use them [18:00] <biznock09> i figured [18:01] <Ido_> grawity: Yeah, sorry, I confused. [18:01] <Ido_> Anyways, thanks a lot. This package-based system looks useful. [18:01] <Baba_B00ie> ZykoticK9, heck ya man thanks [18:01] <erUSUL> biznock09: can you do this. in a terminal do « tailf /var/log/messages » then plug the modem paste the new lines that will appear on the screen [18:01] <mikinanuq> nOStahl: google for ext4 partition repair, you may be able to run fschk on it [18:01] <erUSUL> !paste | biznock09 [18:01] <ubottu> biznock09: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com (or !pastebinit for CLI) | For pasting !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin Please give us the URLs for your posts!

[18:06] <paipimenta> erUSUL: I shrank my other partitions/lv/pv so that I can create a non-LVM for windows [18:06] <dorne> never mind, dumb luck lead me to press backspace to disable the keys in gnome-terminal. thanks. [18:06] <grawity> paipimenta: Of course. mkfs only affects that specific partition you run it on. [18:06] <erUSUL> biznock09: o.0! nothing when you plug the modem ?

[19:19] <ChogyDan> Guest50266: I don't think so [19:19] <LjL> sweetde, you cn only increase the volume of a digital audio file up to a maximum point, after which it clips. that's the purpose of normalization. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clipping_(audio)#Digital_clipping [19:19] <D-rew> SoldierNIX, If you have the appropriate permissions in relation to the IRCd, you can use /mode +o <nick> [19:20] <kyle__> whats the OS emulator called [19:20] <D-rew> This will give that nick name the Operator mode.

[19:21] <D-rew> Wait, Karmic WILL break? [19:21] <MenZa> D-rew: Shouldn't need nvidia-190 for that. [19:21] <D-rew> As in, inevitably? [19:22] <Ridders> hey does anyone know if there are linux drivers now for a xfx ati hd 5870 graphics card? [19:22] <MenZa> D-rew: It will break in its current stage, yes. [19:22] <D-rew> Oh. [19:22] <sweetde> LjL if you're interested, my project is this: record satellite radio channels from sat/tivo, convert them (tivo)->(win)->.tivo->.mpg->(linux)->.wav->.ogg->(AndroidG1)->(my car). I've done it all, but it just plays way too softly, even compared to my mp3's. So since the mp3s play much more loudly, I think I have room to increase volume before it starts clipping [19:22] <D-rew> Cancel that.

[19:22] <D-rew> Meh, looks like I'll stick with nvidia-180 until release. [19:23] <ChogyDan> D-rew: actually, I misled you. It looks like karmic will only have 185 [19:23] <D-rew> Or, until they back-port 190, if that happens. [19:23] <D-rew> I don't understand why the PPA didn't work...

If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [19:43] <grawity> JoeSomebody: No. First, if you're sharing a directory over the network, you're probably going to use samba, and with it, the Windows machines totally do not care about the remote filesystem. They just see files and folders. [19:43] <grawity> JoeSomebody: Second, NTFS is a lot more stable than FAT32.

But what Linux has now is quite good. [19:46] <grawity> JoeSomebody: In any case, if you're just sharing it over the network, simply use ext4 or something like that.

[19:52] <Hillshum> ambros: I'm not exactly sure what 10/100 means (should look it up) but 10 megabits is only 1.25 megabytes... [19:52] <prefrontal_> chai_, I got it to work. the key is that i needed to use tabs between the date specification and the user name, and between the username and the command, and the cron file needs to be in /etc/cron.d and end with a newline, and then restart cron [19:53] <ambros> hillshum: arent network equipment rated by 10/100/1000 1000 = gigabit? === marius is now known as Guest74937 [19:53] <Hillshum> I think so.

By design? [19:55] <itsjareds> my computer has a serial port while the other does not [19:55] <Cale> nullp0inter: perhaps using something like: find /path/to/copy/from -execdir cp {} /path/to/copy/to ; [19:55] <ambros> hillshum: yse, windows 7 did a bandwidth test of 2Mbps, osx did 1.5Mbps, and ubuntu did about 140kbps [19:56] <grawity> itsjareds: Have you considered just sharing it over the network? [19:56] <itsjareds> grawity: How? [19:56] <Hillshum> ambros: Hmm. that's all I can think of [19:56] <grawity> itsjareds: CUPS, the printing daemon, can listen to requests over the network. [19:57] <ambros> there is a bunch of stuff on forums about wireless being capped, but i am clueless as to why this is capped so low [19:57] <grawity> itsjareds: That requires both PCs to be powered on though.

[19:57] <itsjareds> Yeah that's ok [19:58] <joshua__> seidos, how do i know what version of xorg i have? [19:58] <grawity> itsjareds: If I recall correctly, on one computer you need to tell cups to listen on the LAN IP (in addition to the default 127.0.0.1), and then on computer B add computer A's something :| [19:58] <mgmuscari> how risky do you think it would be to change from GRUB to GRUB2? here's my partition table: http://paste.ubuntu.com/282401/ [19:59] <nullp0inter> thanks Cale! [19:59] <itsjareds> I'll give it a try, didn't know that network was possible [19:59] <seidos> joshua__: you can check /var/log/Xorg.0.log. I have ver 1.6.3 according to my log === max is now known as Guest13009 [19:59] <seidos> joshua__: the logs are your friend [20:00] <Trizicus> I just 'cat /proc/cpuinfo' my CPU and it says it's at 1k Mhz. Which is not the case. My CPU should be at 2k Mhz how do I fix this? [20:00] <viki> I have a problem with UrbanTerror on Ubuntu Karmic. Previously on Jaunty (computer is the same) it was working fine, on the Karmic it is crashing with a black screen after starting. After I need to reboot the machine... Can anybody help?

[20:01] <Trizicus> mgmuscari I'm in the settings area but see nothing w/ CPU Throttling [20:01] <joshua__> seidos, sorry forgot to put that in there [20:01] <grawity> itsjareds: It seems Ubuntu already has a page on that - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkPrintingWithUbuntu [20:01] <joshua__> so i have 1.6.0 which driver do i need? seidos [20:01] <seidos> joshua__: not sure, haven't finished reading the document [20:01] <fccf> mgmuscari: Grub2 will be default in ubuntu 9.10 Karmic ... probably not a good idea yet, as it isn't tested ... but if you want this ppa has it https://launchpad.net/~apw/+archive/ppa/+packages compiled for Jaunty [20:02] <joshua__> seidos, okay [20:02] <seidos> joshua__: I think you should download sysctrl [20:02] <itsjareds> grawity: Heh, I actually just found that page through google.

As in, it just means a comma, right? [20:03] <joshua__> seidos, will do... [20:03] <Trizicus> mgmuscari: How do I change the power settings in ubuntu? Through the GUI I see nothing w/ CPU throttling [20:03] <grawity> ScottG: Depends on the regex library - but usually yes, it's just a character. [20:03] <seidos> joshua__: i have to drop off some mail at the post office. i'll be back in 15 minutes [20:03] <joshua__> aright [20:03] <fccf> mgmuscari: have you considered running DSL as a virtual machine? might be easier [20:03] <LuYu> editing or regenerating xorg.conf doesnt seem to work [20:04] <grawity> LuYu: Have you checked /var/log/Xorg.0.log already? [20:04] <grawity> LuYu: Also, if you have no physical access, how/why are you using X? [20:04] <LuYu> because the user i am supporting is using X [20:04] <LuYu> its not my computer [20:04] <joshua__> oh boy... I just killed synaptic [20:05] <user__> galera... [20:05] <LuYu> ill check the logs more carefully [20:05] <ScottG> grawity: If you have something like [7-9] does that include the 7 and 9 or only what is in between them (in this case just 8)?

[20:06] <ActionParsnip> user__: run a game and show fps [20:06] <mgmuscari> user__: go play a game and measure the reading on your Fun-O-Meter [20:06] <LuYu> i didnt think it would cause X to crash, though [20:06] <VCoolio> ActionParsnip: that it's a launcher that is running? [20:06] <ActionParsnip> grawity: yeah, just test driving it for laughs [20:06] <grawity> ActionParsnip: In the Dock, a black arrow means the app is already running. [20:07] <LuYu> the bug report just had an xorg.conf file that they claimed works [20:07] <ActionParsnip> VCoolio: grawity: its frets on fire which would run fullscreen [20:07] <LuYu> but it doesnt [20:07] <mgv2> where is the israeli chat for ubuntu?

Choose the 'root shell' option from menu. Use "ls /home" to find out your username, and "passwd your-username" to reset the password. [20:09] <AaDi> do u know how to run Counter Strike on ubuntu plz ? [20:09] <mgv2> how can screen print menu? [20:10] <kenneth_> quit [20:10] <LuYu> the bug report mentioned something about hotplug [20:10] <P67> Evening lads, can i have someone's attention for the moment considering multiple X11 sessions? === ysouyno is now known as virii [20:10] <fccf> !ask | P67 [20:10] <ubottu> P67: 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. :-) [20:11] <P67> Well i didn't mean to be rude so i asked before i asked :p [20:11] <user__> people, I want to learn more about Linux and programming .. [20:11] <user__> which is the basis to start and what to learn first? [20:11] <skysong> googleee [20:11] <fccf> user__: www.ubuntupocketguide.com good start on ubuntu ... next step are manpages [20:12] <mgmuscari> user__: for programming, i recommend you take some classes [20:12] <mgv2> i have a double desktop folder that cause problem - what can i do? [20:12] <skysong> fccf, did you actually read the pocketguides? [20:12] <P67> Alright, here's the deal. - Ubuntu starts up with one window manager (GDM) . Though this is split among sessions, the default session is XBMC Standalone for me, though it renders the Gnome Desktop useless since it's not loaded. [20:12] <P67> How do i go about loading both xbmc standalone and gnome on startup. Resulting on gnome on a different VTTY [20:13] <user__> [20:13] <user__> I've read all the ubuntu guide and already have a notion to use the terminal, move files to install repositories [20:13] <AaDi> do u know how to run Counter Strike on ubuntu plz ? [20:13] <mgmuscari> AaDi: try wine [20:14] <fccf> AaDi: and here http://playonlinux.com/en/ [20:14] <user__> Aadi i know [20:14] <fccf> skysong: not in it's entirity [20:14] <P67> Steam should run well enough on WINE. [20:15] <user__> Aadi i can help to play CS in ubuntu [20:15] <AaDi> user_ ...thanks dude...i'll see what i can do here [20:15] <skysong> i believe the best way is rather to have the os installed and start playing with it. The google as and when required.. worked for me. [20:16] <Hillshum> I have an old Unix tutorial book that helped as well, see what works for you [20:16] <user__> I've read all the ubuntu guide and already have a notion to use the terminal, move files repositories and install all ... what my next step now? [20:16] <P67> Your next step is to comprehend it properly enough to execute it in reality [20:17] <mgv2> how can screen print menus? [20:18] <user__> mas eu já o compreendo completamente.... [20:18] <user__> but I've completely understand .... [20:18] <Tim> hi mgv2, do you mean scren print the desktop or just a part of the desktop? [20:18] <P67> If you do, why do you ask these questions user_ :) [20:19] <P67> Sorry to barge in again. But did anyone have an answer for my multiple sessions on startup question? [20:19] <mgv2> tim, ps menues from programs [20:19] <TheEvilOne> does anyone here know how to launch emacs in command line mode [20:19] <TheEvilOne> i can only get it to open in a GUI window [20:20] <user__> [20:20] <user__> well ... I wonder what I get to learn in order to help more people and have a load of programmer ... where to start [20:20] <Powersource> TheEvilOne, maybe there is a command-line version that you have to install [20:20] <Tim> not sure which version you are running but this may help http://tips.webdesign10.com/how-to-take-a-screenshot-on-ubuntu-linux [20:20] <P67> Perl, Bash ? I guess that's good to learn user_ [20:20] <TheEvilOne> well there is still a specifc command that launches it in GUI or commandline mode [20:21] <TheEvilOne> like in VI you have to use the -g argument to launch it in a gui [20:21] * genii ponders -nox [20:21] <TheEvilOne> it launches in CLI by default [20:21] <grawity> I'm sure emacs has --help. [20:21] <P67> Meh [20:21] * P67 barges in again :) [20:21] <TheEvilOne> emacs laucnhes in GUI by default and I dont know the command to launch in CLI [20:21] <TheEvilOne> the help doesnt say [20:21] <user__> Hmmm ... I download books on these subjects ... [20:21] <user__> but have read some books on bash .. and what language to start? [20:21] <ikonia> user__: try #bash [20:22] <grawity> user__: Python, C, C# [20:22] <TheEvilOne> the -nox command still launches it in GUI [20:22] <P67> Bash, Perl and Python is the way to go. then go to C programming. [20:22] <Tim> mgv2, any good? [20:22] <erUSUL> TheEvilOne: did you installed the emacs-nox package ? [20:22] <southern_> i am dual booting ubuntu and windows 7. every time i boot up windows 7 after using ubuntu, the time is like 4 hours off. does anyone know whats going on? [20:23] <P67> Yep southern, ubuntu probably isn't using UTC [20:23] <ikonia> southern_: sounds like windows is not syncing the time [20:23] <Tim> southern, do you mean after you have corrected it is fails back agin? [20:23] <TheEvilOne> no [20:23] <P67> or your UTC is wrong [20:23] <TheEvilOne> doesnt seem necessary [20:23] <southern_> yes i change it every time [20:23] <TheEvilOne> in VIM if you install the GUI version you can launch both [20:23] <TheEvilOne> seems like that would be true of emacs [20:23] <user__> hehe ... Thank you all ... I download books and start studying now ... [20:23] <TheEvilOne> since the GUI is extra so to speak the CLI should be there [20:23] <southern_> how can i make ubuntu use utc? will this fix it? [20:24] * P67 is still pondering about Multiple sessions login [20:24] <ikonia> southern_: when you boot ubuntu does it have the right time ? [20:24] <Tim> sothern, you are set to the correct time zone, and the bios time is correct? [20:24] <user__> iknoia tks [20:24] <southern_> yes, ubuntu is always right [20:24] <user__> grawity tks [20:24] <TheEvilOne> the package I installed says its emacs with "support for x" therefore it should work in both modes you would think' [20:24] <grawity> Windows stores the local time to the hardware clock. Ubuntu probably treats it as UTC time. [20:24] <user__> P67 tks [20:24] <P67> If you  modified your timezone or incorrectly set it. then set the time in ubuntu or windows - It's still caching it at the BIOS. [20:24] <P67> bb user_ :) [20:24] <wzzrd> nullp0inter: find DIR -type f -exec cp {} OTHERDIR/. \; [20:24] <wzzrd> or something like that [20:25] <Tim> southern, ??? [20:25] <mgv2> tim, in capturing menues not [20:26] <southern_> yes windows is in the right time zone and bios is right [20:26] <dassouki> why doesn't gnome have an auto align feature for its desktops [20:26] <ikonia> southern_: then it looks like windows is not syncing time when it boots up [20:26] <TheEvilOne> i figured it out, its -nw [20:26] <grawity> ikonia: No, Windows works fine. [20:26] <P67> It shouldn't sync time since the time should be BIOS set. [20:26] <ikonia> grawity: oh, I thought he said windows time was off [20:26] <bleh_> hey all how to get rhytmbox playing a cd? [20:27] <ikonia> P67: windows goes to time.microsoft.com on boot up [20:27] <grawity> Windows doesn't adjust the clock if it's more than two hours off (security reasons) [20:27] <P67> ;) Still doesn't explain why it's incorrectly set then. [20:27] <bleh_> I get an error about CDDA [20:27] <ikonia> P67: my theory was bios drift/failure, ubuntu updates it, windows doesn't [20:27] <god_> hello ubuntuans [20:27] <P67> I never got my windows time adjusted if i installed a netBSD Distro from the early centuries [20:28] <Tim> mgv2, what about doing a video? then taking a snapshot of that, bit of a pain i know, i was sure i had done this with gimp before now [20:28] <ikonia> grawity: same as ntp won't, I guess it depends how far off the time is [20:28] <southern_> windows always goes 4 hours off if this means anything [20:28] <j0nr> evening [20:28] <j0nr> how can i get round this... I have three primary partitions and I am trying to create a 4th partition... it says i cant have 4 primaries so should create an extended partition... but how can i do that without loosing any of the existing partitions? [20:28] <P67> afaik windows does use UTC :o [20:28] <grawity> P67: Not for the hwclock. [20:28] <kermit> if i'm mixing OS's on a system or on a filesystem, i keep Windows in UTC, otherwise things get all messed up. [20:28] <ikonia> j0nr: if you have 3 partitions, your 4th one should be an extended [20:29] <nullp0inter> user__: for programming you should start with something like C/C++ in my opinion [20:29] <P67> So mye, how do i go around starting multiple sessions on startup? [20:29] <j0nr> ikonia: but how do i create that... in the free space when i try to create 'new' it just stops me saying i cant have 4 primaries === kenneth_ is now known as kebe4180 === bleh_ is now known as sejo1 [20:29] <Hillshum> Why do the ffmpeg-unstripped packages exist? [20:29] <P67> Or rather, should i create an .xinitrc in my homedir..? [20:29] <ikonia> j0nr: how are you trying to create it ? [20:29] <nicoooo> hi, i am trying to install ubuntu in a qemu environment. do i have to use the alternate cd? [20:29] <erUSUL> j0nr: and cretaing and extended parition does not affect the other paritions on the disk [20:29] <ikonia> nicoooo: nope [20:29] <j0nr> ikonia: gparted [20:29] <grawity> ikonia, P67: Windows stores the local time to hardware. (Compatibility reasons.) And at least in Arch, there is an option to make Arch treat hardware clock as either UTC or local time. For dual-boot systems (with Windows), it has to be set to "localtime". I'm sure Ubuntu has such an option somewhere. [20:30] <ikonia> grawity: ah, yes, I see what you are saying [20:30] <nicoooo> ikonia, thanks [20:30] <P67> Classic mix up and misinterpretations of OSs :) === Deadly is now known as Guest5363 [20:30] <RENATINHA> OI [20:31] <grawity> MS-DOS stored local time (it didn't know about timezones). For compatibility, Windows 95 had to do the same. And so it continues. [20:31] <TheEvilOne> another question, how do you launch somethingn from the terminal in the backround [20:31] <P67> & it. [20:31] <RENATINHA> OI [20:31] <TheEvilOne> you know how when you launch something like GEDIT you cant use the terminal until you close it [20:31] <TheEvilOne> i remember reading how to do it but i forget [20:31] <grawity> TheEvilOne: gedit & [20:31] <ikonia> j0nr: when you click create new partition, there is an option for "create as" the default is primary, change it to logical [20:31] <TheEvilOne> grawity thanks [20:32] <grawity> TheEvilOne: Or even better, ( gedit & ) &> /dev/null [20:32] <erUSUL> grawity: for ubuntu is in /etc/default/rcS the option to use utc or not in hw [20:32] <mgv2> tim, how do i make a video??

Isn't it for single-user? === god_ is now known as drog [20:32] <P67> Writing output to dev/null? :p pff so much for troubleshooting [20:32] <grawity> erUSUL: Anyway, what is it set to, by default?

By the way, what is the setting set to by default? [20:33] <ikonia> j0nr: 3 primary partitions is not a problem. Open gparted, click on "unallocated space" with a right mouse click, and you should get an option for "create as" [20:33] <P67> grawity, you seem like a smart guy. Help me out booting 2 sessions on startup. they differ in session-types yet same user. [20:34] <j0nr> ikonia: nope, definately not getting that option [20:34] <RENATINHA> OI PICIZINHO [20:34] <erUSUL> grawity: i dunno i have it to no (sc**w windows ;P) but i suppose it would be yes so dualboot setups work ok [20:34] <ikonia> j0nr: do you know how to take a screen shot [20:34] <j0nr> yeah..but where to put it? ikonia [20:34] <ikonia> j0nr: photo bucket ?

[20:42] <jbeitler> itsjareds: When you hit New printer, you should see "Find Network Printer" you can type in the host name or IP [20:42] <ikonia> j0nr: no problem at all, just rememeber to update your /etc/fstab [20:42] <j0nr> ikonia: :/ what will be wring in my fstab? [20:43] <ikonia> j0nr: the identifier for your swap partition, which you will change by recreating it [20:43] <j0nr> ok [20:43] <erUSUL> j0nr: uuids/device names will change. you have to reflect that changes in fstab [20:43] <itsjareds> jbeitler: It responds with "No printer was found at that address". I have a Win7 homegroup set to just share printers. Is there anything special I need to do for a homegroup? [20:43] <itsjareds> I also don't know if i need to do anything with Samba [20:45] <erk_> @FloodBot2 [20:45] <j0nr> ikonia: erUSUL so i will need to change fstab in both my other ubuntu partitions... [20:45] <j0nr> how do i identify my new swap? [20:46] <erUSUL> j0nr: both ? you have two ubuntu instalations ? [20:46] <erUSUL> !uuid | j0nr [20:46] <ubottu> j0nr: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [20:47] <j0nr> erUSUL: yes, i have a partition running 8.04 server, 1 running 9.04 desktop and i need another running XP (unfortunately) [20:47] <erUSUL> j0nr: then yes you have to change it ion both instalations [20:48] <tehbaut> anyone know of any good camtasia studio replacement for linux? [20:48] <nostalgicBadger> hey guys, kind of a newb question here, but i installed eclipse from the package manager, had to uninstall it because it was old, downloaded the current package from the web site, unzipped it in ~/bin/packages. i tried running it using the full location, which worked fine, but i can't run it with "eclipse" because typing "eclipse" into the command line searches for 'eclipse' in /usr/bin, presumably where it was installed. [20:48] <j0nr> no probs erUSUL. thanks for your help... and ikonia, you too. [20:48] <nostalgicBadger> i'm guessing i have to edit a file to get it to stop looking for eclipse there, but i'm not sure which one. [20:48] <MenZa> nostalgicBadger: try ./eclipse [20:49] <MenZa> That runs eclipse from your current directory. [20:49] <erUSUL> nostalgicBadger: no you have to add ~/bin/packages to your path or just make a simlink in ~/bin/ that points to ~/bin/packages/whatever [20:49] <nostalgicBadger> that works, but how would i change it so eclipse launches the file from anywhere? === ubuntu__ is now known as CaRSi [20:49] <erUSUL> nostalgicBadger: as ~/bin/ is included in path if present [20:50] <nostalgicBadger> i guess, more importantly, for general use, is there something i can edit that lets me point commands to files? so 'eclipse' > /path/to/file [20:50] <VCoolio> nostalgicBadger: type $PATH in terminal to see what folders are searched when you type a command; either add a folder in your home dir to path, or create a .desktop launcher in of those folders [20:50] <Fendaril> guys [20:50] <earthling> nostalgicBadger, as erUSUL says just add the eclipse folder to yuor $PATH [20:50] <Fendaril> I am trying to run a fil but i get this error [20:50] <Fendaril> bash: ./run.sh: /bin/sh^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory === Fendaril is now known as Guest99483 [20:51] <Guest99483> can anyone explain this to me? [20:51] <Guest99483> bash: ./run.sh: /bin/sh^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory [20:51] <MenZa> Feldegast: What's the first line of that script? [20:51] <Chousuke> Guest99483: your file has DOS endline characters. [20:51] <MenZa> Fendaril* [20:51] <iceroot> Guest99483: first line #bin/sh [20:51] <ActionParsnip> fendaril: try: chmod +x ./run.sh; ./run.sh [20:51] <Chousuke> Guest99483: use dos2unix to convert to unix endlines [20:52] <Guest99483> ok [20:52] <genii> Guest99483: The file is in an MS-DOS format where line ends are terminated with caret-M (^M) [20:52] <mgmuscari> does anybody have any idea what "initializing rt netlink socket" means? [20:52] <Guest99483> ah I see [20:52] <Guest99483> so I use dostolinux? [20:52] <mgmuscari> i've got an image of a linux with a 2.4 kernel and it keeps hanging on boot at that step... [20:53] <Chousuke> Guest99483: you can also just do "sh run.sh" [20:53] <rxd> anyone running 9.10 karmic on usb?

[20:53] <VCoolio> nostalgicBadger: you can also make an alias in ~/.bashrc like this: alias eclipse='whatever command it needs' [20:53] <Guest99483> chousuke it says command not found [20:53] <rxd> ok karmic beta on usb [20:53] <erUSUL> mgmuscari: ntelink is a socket like interface between kernel and userspace. i guess that rt == real time [20:53] <Guest99483> i did sh run.sh [20:54] <Shawn-> Would learning Pygame be hard for someone who is only intermediate at Python? [20:54] <mgmuscari> erUSUL: does that have anything to do with the runtime level? [20:54] <nostalgicBadger> VCoolio: all right. is there a better way, or is that something people do? [20:54] <Guest99483> there? [20:54] <nostalgicBadger> (i don't want to fall into bad habits) [20:54] <Chousuke> Guest99483: with or without the quotes? :P [20:54] <Guest99483> wihtout quotes [20:54] <mgmuscari> erUSUL: i don't think i can modify this image... it would be nice if i could get it to boot, though [20:54] <erUSUL> nostalgicBadger: just make a symlik « ln -s ~/bin/packages/eclipse ~/bin/eclipse » [20:54] <Chousuke> Guest99483: hm. so which command does it complain about? [20:54] <erUSUL> mgmuscari: i dunno sorry [20:54] <rxd> is run-init on the init script same as switch_root? [20:54] <Guest99483> bash: sh run.sh: command not found [20:55] <naadde> Hello!

[20:57] <Chousuke> hwilde: that will not work in this case. [20:57] <Chousuke> hwilde: his script file is a bit broken [20:57] <hwilde> Chousuke, then the script is not executable or not in the right directory.

[22:20] <WanHouse> ok [22:20] <nanotube> mgv2: well, looks like that smtp server you are connecting to doesn't support tls. are you sure that is unusual? maybe you are connecting to the wrong port or the wrong server? or maybe the server just isn't configured to support tls [22:21] <bikedude880> So, I've tried a few methods of keeping the Update Notifier from displaying at boot (both through gconf and verifying it with gconf-editor) and it /still/ loads. Is there any other place I can change this setting? I'm just looking to keep the Update Manager from stealing focus. [22:21] <lenswipe> WanHouse: someone told me to do something which needed a gui, i dont have gui access so i couldnt do it :) [22:21] <seil> stlsaint pidgin doesnt have webcam [22:21] <robbmunson> mgmuscari, probably because 9.04 uses a different FS altogether? (cant remember if 9.04 is the one with ext4) [22:21] <mgmuscari> lenswipe: ostensibly it should leave everything in place, but if your system is similar to mine at all the ati drivers will crap out on you until you do a fresh installation of ubuntu and install fglrx manually [22:21] <mgmuscari> robbmunson: 9.04 has ext4 support but i don't think you have to use it... [22:21] <mgmuscari> i'm still using ext3 [22:21] <sburwood> can anyone quickly tell me if there will be a 9.10 version of Ubuntu?

[22:22] <lstarnes> sburwood: ubuntu makes a new release approximately every 6 months [22:22] <lenswipe> when they get to P in the ubuntu releases they should do "pervy penguin" [22:22] <WanHouse> lenswipe: The term "Cant use a gui" could be more revealing, perhaps.

[23:22] <JoshDreamland> The closest thing I came to a lead on the problem was this snippet: [23:22] <seil> anyone used gyachi(yahoo messenger) alternative for linux.. I wonder if its safe? [23:22] <JoshDreamland> If you have a MouseMan+ on the PS/2 port you probably want to use mhub with XFree servers too, because XFree (all versions up to 3.3.3.1) parses the wheel data incorrectly. You can see this when you roll the wheel fast - the directions will then be reversed causing applications to scroll backwards. IntelliMouse data is however interpreted correctly, and this is where mhub is useful. [23:22] <{PS}Fableflame> There obviously isn't any help here. [23:22] <libtech> {PS}Fableflame: i dont know if you will get any help here, since video game pirating is against the rules [23:22] <JoshDreamland> {PS}Fableflame: What's the problem?

[23:23] <JoshDreamland> I almost can't imagine it working, but, worth a shot [23:23] <{PS}Fableflame> Yes [23:24] <{PS}Fableflame> It didn't. [23:24] <Nattgew> I have an expresscard compact flash reader. I got it to work once before, I think I have to load a module. I found a site that suggested modprobe pciehp, but it said that module was not found. [23:24] <JoshDreamland> Did it even load? [23:24] <{PS}Fableflame> I believe I said that. [23:24] <ezhangin> any idea why this thing won't boot short of a drive failure? [23:24] <ezhangin> doubt the drive is bad [23:24] <cyberiAccela> Fable: Also, you really need to allow people time to respond. You shouldn't send the same question every couple of minutes. [23:24] <{PS}Fableflame> It loads the card but the desktop recorder won't work with no$gba [23:24] <ArkoldThos> someone could take a look on this thread? http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8029495&postcount=4 [23:25] <JoshDreamland> {PS}Fableflame: What does it record?

Which has come today (I am EST - UTC +1) [23:25] <{PS}Fableflame> wtf [23:25] <{PS}Fableflame> anyway, it doesn't record [23:25] <{PS}Fableflame> it says it runs into a problem [23:25] <htorres11393> the only think i can think of biznock is trying to make it a cd instead [23:25] <JoshDreamland> And this is an Ubuntu desktop recorder? [23:25] <{PS}Fableflame> Yes [23:25] <biznock09> no cd drive either [23:26] <htorres11393> then put it on a flash drive and take it to one that has it [23:26] <JoshDreamland> I'm not sure I understand, then. The emulator is working, but you can't record at all? [23:26] <htorres11393> or better yet [23:26] <htorres11393> make a boot flash drive [23:26] <Bloxxy> what dvd maker do you guyssuggest I use for .mkv files? The .mkv files have .SSA (.a$$) subtitles inside of them, and I would like them rendered as such [23:26] <{PS}Fableflame> nope [23:26] <biznock09> t [23:26] <biznock09> how do you do that [23:26] <JoshDreamland> This is why I hate English. I assume by nope, you mean I was correct [23:27] <biznock09> but with all the info on my factory dvd [23:27] <htorres11393> ok you need to make your flash drive bootable [23:27] <{PS}Fableflame> Lol yes, you were correct. [23:27] <JoshDreamland> A lot of things for Ubuntu have 1,000 alternatives, each working about 25%, but a different 25% each one [23:27] <ActionParsnip> JoshDreamland: try recordmydesktop [23:27] <htorres11393> then once you make a bootable partition on it you stick the iso on it [23:27] <JoshDreamland> the trick is to find the right one. [23:28] <ActionParsnip> JoshDreamland: just like any OS [23:28] <{PS}Fableflame> Already tried it. It records but it's crappy quality. [23:28] <JoshDreamland> {PS}Fableflame: Do what ActionParsnip says [23:28] <{PS}Fableflame> When I use recordmydesktop it's more like it took several screenshots instead of a video. [23:28] <ezhangin> ugh i'm not even getting to grub, i don't see why this would happen all of a sudden [23:28] <JoshDreamland> If I remember correctly, No$ doesn't have a built in recorder, either [23:28] <ActionParsnip> {PS}Fableflame: did you edit the settings better? [23:28] <htorres11393> see you biznock hope it helped [23:28] <ezhangin> the last thing i did was create a raid-5 array with mdadm separate from the boot drive [23:29] <{PS}Fableflame> wait [23:29] <{PS}Fableflame> recordmydesktop is the one that isn't working at all. I also tried istanbull, and it's the one that looked like it took several screenshots [23:30] <JoshDreamland> I'd like to resubmit my own question at this point; does anyone know how I can get Ubuntu to parse mouse wheel feedback correctly? Currently it scrolls backwards if I roll it too fast. [23:30] <biznock09> how do you make a flash drive bootale [23:30] <biznock09> bootable [23:31] <JoshDreamland> biznock09: With Ubuntu, or your own program? [23:31] <biznock09> ubuntu [23:31] <biznock09> and with windows [23:31] <biznock09> i have them in dvd and cd formats now [23:31] <biznock09> but no drive [23:31] <biznock09> so i need them to be on usbs [23:32] <JoshDreamland> Not going to happen with Windows. Unless you mean using Windows. [23:32] <JoshDreamland> WOAH. Didn't see that coming. [23:32] <daveycal1> hey i am having sound problems, but only with one user [23:32] <JoshDreamland> I thought you meant instead of a CD-ROM [23:32] <AstroEl> where can i download the right fonts for Devanagari and other exotic alphabets?
