[00:11] lucaxxxxxx: Why do you want a later kernel? Which version of Ubuntu? [00:11] ab2qik: url could be helpful ;-) [00:11] devZero -> it asked for a sudo passwd? [00:11] lucaxxxxxx: unless you %100 understand it - I really would not [00:11] hello [00:11] DasEi: that doesnt work [00:11] lucaxxxxxx: umm, you can, but you probably shouldn't if you are askinng that question... [00:11] Eric_xtc: have you read the rules ? [00:11] lucaxxxxxx: I would definitely not recommend that. [00:11] nvm [00:12] well... [00:12] lucaxxxxxx: same here I woudn't recommend that [00:12] Yeea sort of [00:12] lucaxxxxxx: the more important question is: why are you asking? any particular need for that? [00:12] DasEi, whoops, here it is: http://pastebin.com/d376b2030 [00:12] ive downloaded lastest kernel and my computer runs so much better than with 2.6.28, but i just want to know if i can put it like repo so i dont have to worry about downloading by "hand" [00:12] every time i play a mp4 file i get this error message a "error ocured The stream is encrypted and decryption is not supported." [00:12] dethaddr: ls again , then cd [00:13] lucaxxxxxx: Runs better in what way? [00:13] GENT: Download the proper codec then. [00:13] nanotube: yeah... i have an intel x3100 and with lastest kernel runs like hell [00:13] hi [00:13] can i install UBUNTU on to my car management system>?

[00:13] wahnfrieden: oh you again, you have already been told that Ubuntu isn't for that [00:13] lucaxxxxxx: You did Ext4? [00:13] DasEi, dev/Vg1/usr should be /dev/Vg1/usr [00:13] i mean difference between 2.6.28 and 2.6.3x is huge! [00:14] sebsebseb: ext3 [00:14] Losher: Whether or not you remember, i was in here yesterday about a "ubuntu not seeing HDD space" well i got it fixed [00:14] Im having a problem with GNUsound in jaunty its instantly logging me out [00:14] lucaxxxxxx: hmm interesting kind of [00:14] ab2qik: sure, thats the problem, you mounted to /mnt/var , /mnt/usr, but have to /var resp. /usr [00:14] mlregister: I remember. What was the solution? [00:14] hola a todos [00:14] Why doesn't Firefox automatically handle deb-files? [00:14] i dont understand why ubuntu developers dont put a 2.6.3x kernel update on the ubuntu repos! [00:14] ab2qik: second , correcting paste [00:15] lucaxxxxxx: well Ext4 is default for 9.10 released on October 29th, and it has Ext4 by default, not for upgrades though, and yes with Ext4 boot up is rather fast and that, plus 9.10 will have a pretty recant kernel [00:15] Losher: i had to just boot the live cd and install it from that. [00:15] DasEi, sorry pls explain a bit more [00:15] Umeaboy, which codec? [00:15] DasEi: i cant figure it out [00:15] lucaxxxxxx: using a kernel that isn't from the repo, is a little dodgy I guess [00:15] Im having a problem with GNUsound in jaunty its instantly logging me out [00:15] mlregister: Cool. glad you got it going... [00:15] Can't remember. Look for gstreamer-codecs. [00:15] lucaxxxxxx: Ext3 upgrades above [00:16] sebsebseb: ive tried 9.10 alpha something... because of the kernel that it had, but i went back to 9.04 and installed 2.6.30 kernel manually, then 2.6.32 and it runs really really good [00:16] 9.10 was way crashy [00:16] lucaxxxxxx: Daily kernel builds will, without question, break more than it will fix. [00:16] i know its an alpha release... [00:17] lucaxxxxxx: You went back to 9.04, but didn't do Ext4 hmm, as far as I know it's Ext4 that speeds things up, and of course 9.10 was crashy it wasn't a final [00:17] sebsebseb: i install cheese and run it , but Gdk-ERROR **: The program 'cheese' received an X Window System error. [00:17] This probably reflects a bug in the program. [00:17] The error was 'BadIDChoice (invalid resource ID chosen for this connection)'.

[00:19] lucaxxxxxx: ,but that's got nothing to do with your Intel graphics card [00:19] sebsebseb: i install cheese and run it , but http://fpaste.org/k3Fe/ [00:19] te: what package sorry ? [00:19] ctmjr: still about?

[00:22] Anyone know where to get them [00:22] ctmjr: 9.04 [00:22] 9.04 [00:22] ayn: you won't be able to use the 32bit modules [00:23] DasEi, but /var existed before i added the lvm /mnt/var. After adding /mnt/var i copied /var into /mnt/var [00:23] ctmjr: i run cheese but cheese do exit [00:23] sadrolla: usb or built in? [00:23] I'm just trying to install world of warcraft through wine [00:23] ayn: you won't be able to use the 32bit nvidia modules on your 64bit kernel [00:23] ctmjr: lsusb ==> Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0c45:613a Microdia PC Camera (SN9C120) [00:23] and I'm getting that error 132 [00:23] ctmjr: usb [00:23] it is still not working [00:24] DasEi: no, it cleared out [00:24] ikonia: where is this option? [00:24] sadrolla: unplug it and wait a second then plug it back in [00:24] te: the 64bit kernel modules power your video card within the OS - that's what you sould be using [00:24] DasEi, i dont think you can mount a an lvm mount on an existing /var mount? [00:24] ab2qik: to get that straight: you copy files to the hd. the hd is mounted on any directory you tell fstab to mount to. the directory is the second "/.." in fstab. [00:24] ikonia: no man, im asking about the "fastest package server" option in synaptic [00:24] wtf is it [00:24] DasEi: and i havent unpacked it eaither. [00:24] I found another person with the same problem on the net, but they didn't list how to fix it. They just wrote they needed the 32bit libs and that worked [00:24] ctmjr: http://fpaste.org/JVGj/ [00:25] te: apologies, I got your question mixed up with someone else [00:25] no problem [00:25] ayn: you don't need the 32bit kernel modules (drivers) [00:25] dethaddr: sudo apt-get install unp [00:25] do you know where this fastest package server setting is [00:25] VCoolio: Why isn't this set from the beginning?

[00:27] DasEi: i did... sudo unp nvid* and it put nvid*nvid*nvid* infront of mt name [00:27] DasEi: i unpacked it. [00:28] ctmjr: output very big , i think beter i save output in a file , why command ? [00:28] DasEi, so would that add the additional space to the already existing /var in that case? [00:29] sadrolla: if you ran dmesg | tail it is only 10 lines [00:29] how do i enable IMQ on ubuntu? [00:30] is there a reliable way of using torrents for dpkg? [00:30] ctmjr : no my output " sadrolla@GNU:~$ dmesg " very lines [00:30] sadrolla: when you plug the card back in and run dmesg | tail it will tell us if the drivers for your webcam are getting loaded [00:31] dragon: no, not really [00:31] ab2qik: var existed and if you copied the old var to the lvm , can moun it there, right [00:31] dragon: there's been experiments, like apt-torrent, but nothing even remotely proven [00:31] LjL: :( I tried debtorrent a while ago but it slowed down what it was supposed to speed up [00:31] sadrolla: run it this way dmesg|tail [00:31] LjL: yeah hope it works out some day [00:32] There appears to be a problem with the tracker [00:32] DasEi, yes copied contents of old /var to lvm location /mnt/var. Is this ok? [00:32] the 9.10 beta desktop iso torrent is not "authorized for use with this tracker." [00:32] dragon: well, if you just want to speed things up, you may consider downloading packages with things like "aria2" or "axel" to fetch from multiple mirrors concurrently - although i don't know if there's way to easily *integrate* them with apt (i.e. make apt-get use those instead of its own downloader, or wget or whatever it uses) [00:32] leoncismeck: #ubuntu+1 for Karmic questions, thanks. [00:32] ctmjr: http://fpaste.org/CrcW/ [00:32] Flannel: woops. sorry [00:34] ab2qik: nope, to change /var you 1) mount the lvm anywhere (say /lvm) 2) copy the current, original /var to /lvm 3) change fstab accordingly to paste given 4) remount [00:34] bans [00:34] DasEi: heh.. when i sudo apt-get install unp. i get auto installd. then irun sudo unp nvid* and get nvids infron of my name [00:34] MenZa: they're nice to have [00:35] sadrolla: you did not unplug the card and plug it back in === _ubuntu is now known as o_portista17 [00:36] identify carlaslover [00:37] Magician0617: nice password [00:37] dethaddr: sudo tar -xvf nvid* , run in /usr/src [00:37] Magician0617: interresting, now change your pass :) [00:37] ctmjr: so i can not use my webcan on ubuntu ? [00:37] ab2qik: to do so, first have to mount the riginal varr again [00:37] Is anyone positive on how I go about changing my kicker application launcher icon w/o changing all my icons? [00:38] DasEi, In fstab the lvm device is /dev/Vg1/var. The mount point as you are saying should be /var [00:38] louis_: launchers should have a line defining the icon. does yours not? [00:38] ab2qik: right BUT before you must have the content of the original /var to /dev/Vg1/var [00:39] LjL: I have 4 boxes at home and am looking for a simple way to share the packages among them. But I don't want to have different configs on laptops for LAN and WAN. Torrents could have been a possibility, but... [00:39] not sure where to find that? === ryanakca_ is now known as ryanakca [00:39] louis_: take a look at /usr/share/applications/kde4/*.desktop to see how launchers should be formatted [00:39] ab2qik: for that both partis have to be mounted [00:39] louis_: just change the Icon= line [00:40] DasEi: what to type for /usr/src? [00:40] security.ubuntu.com appears to be down btw... security breach? [00:40] lol [00:40] I'm talking about the qway you have the start icon on windows only want to change the ubuntu logo to this kick assed KDE icon and not sure about how to go about it [00:40] sadrolla: try this dmesg|grep video [00:40] louis_: what do you want to change the icon of *exactly*? [00:40] kk thanks [00:40] Was there some kind of forced-reboot update today? My home Ubuntu machine was rebooted when I got back from work and, while I was at work, my work Ubuntu machine rebooted *while I was using it*. I window popped up while I was typing a Jabber message and the spacebar "clicked" a button in a dialog box, but I only saw it for a second. Then my whole system went down and rebooted! [00:41] ab2qik: same manner ,http://paste.ubuntu.com/283380/ [00:41] louis_: the ubuntu icon in the menu? [00:41] DasEi, well they were both working together before. Then i deleted many files from original /var thinking lvm /mnt/var will take over. [00:41] louis_: OH that [00:41] ab2qik: oo [00:41] queso_: You have the updates to automatiaclly install? [00:41] jrib: he's a kubuntu user [00:41] louis_: lemme look [00:42] ctmjr: " mesg|grep video " not any output [00:42] ab2qik: and now machine still boots or not ? [00:42] DasEi, now to do what you are saying i need to re-copy from /mnt/var back to /var, since its come originally from /var [00:42] sebsebseb: Only set to notify me of updates, not to download or install automatically. [00:42] maco: I won't even try then :) [00:42] louis_: right click on kickoff and go to "application launcher settings" click the very large icon it shows and then choose some other icon [00:42] queso_: only major updates such as a new kernel need an update [00:43] DasEi, Yes it boots with a shell [00:43] sebsebseb: It's wierd, the power didn't go out, I don't know why my home machine would have rebooted on its own, no one else touched it. [00:43] DasEi: dethaddr@DethMachine:/usr/src$ sudo tar -xvf nvid* [00:43] tar: nvidia-173.14.16: Cannot read: Is a directory [00:43] tar: At beginning of tape, quitting now [00:43] tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now [00:43] dethaddr@DethMachine:/usr/src$ [00:43] dethaddr: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:43] the ubuntu logo I click on to bring the menu up at the bottom right [00:43] sadrolla: did you run mesg or dmesg [00:43] I mean bottom left [00:43] queso_: Maybe the power did go out, but only slightly, enough for it to re boot, but not enough for you to notice it going out [00:43] sorry room [00:44] louis_: yeah, right click it and go to "application launcher settings" [00:44] sebsebseb: Yes, I know kernel updates require reboot, but it doesn't force a reboot even when there's a kernel update. Kinda strange. Is there a website that keeps track of updates, descriptions, and date/time of release? [00:44] louis_: itll bring up a dialog and there's an option to change the icon [00:44] queso_: don't know [00:44] queso_: I think someone else had a similar issue not that long ago [00:45] ctmjr: sorry http://fpaste.org/pUOr/ [00:45] queso_: Doing stuff on Ubuntu, and then re boot just like that [00:45] DasEi, keeps saying that ServAuth=/var/lib/gdm and as such cannot find it. So it looked like its needs to be updated to read as /mnt/var/lib/gdm [00:45] anyone know a reliable way to run Ubuntu 6.1 (Edgy) virtually under Windows using very little RAM (128M or so)? [00:45] queso_: I think maybe at least once I have had something like this happen to my Ubuntu as well [00:45] DasEi: i got that far. but i get an error [00:45] ab2qik: so I'd try to get back the old function first, then repair the system as broken (recovery console) then make prober proper copies of /var and /usr and then alter fstab [00:45] queso_: It was probably just some little hardware issue, that just happended to result in a re boot, and in that case something that isn't worth worrying about. === jony123_ is now known as jony123 [00:46] sebsebseb: Glad to know I'm not going crazy and that it's happened to others :) but a bit alarming, to be sure. [00:46] It has general settings and keyboard shortcut as options sets [00:46] queso_: or maybe a bug in Ubuntu that resulted in a re boot [00:46] DrX: yeah, but you would only be able to run a text-mode server [00:46] sebsebseb: That it happened to two seperate machines in two different cities made me think it was related to an update. [00:46] how come my screensaver won't activate? like i can manually make it coming on by locking the screen but it won't come on by itself [00:46] Encrypting the root partition without losing existing data on an existing installation is starting to really confuse me. Whether on Ubuntu or openSUSE, I find myself MORE confused when trying to follow the tutorials. [00:46] louis_: eh? i see "menu editor" "switch to classic menu style" "application launcher settings" "remove this application launcher" and "panel options" [00:47] louis_: lets go to #kubuntu [00:47] hi dear all [00:47] louis_: this may be because im using kde 4.3 [00:47] I have ubuntu + wine, with mirc installed, were do i find the mirc directory? noob question i know...

[00:47] What exactly is the /boot partition, anyways? It houses the kernels and initial ramdisks, okay. Is this simpy what GRUB (or whatever MBR) points to when booting into an OS? [00:47] any ideas? [00:48] can anyone suggest why is that? [00:48] ill chkf it out, thanks maco [00:48] DasEi, 1. copy /mnt/var into /var 2. mount /var 3. add fstab entries [00:48] DasEi: oh no. speechless [00:48] is there a gtk software to use mumble voice chat [00:48] ? [00:48] sebsebseb: Well, anyway, thanks for your help :) have a good evening. [00:48] poony: the . means .wine is a hidden folder in your directory. so if you go view -> hidden files and folders it should show up [00:48] eugene_, are you dual booting on 2 hard drives?

[00:49] ctmjr: http://fpaste.org/pUOr/ [00:50] I did. that computer just hangs [00:50] flanders: at one time, booting required files to be located within the first I forget-how-many sectors of the hard drive. Putting /boot there satisfied this condition. On modern motherboards, it's no longer a requirement...

I suppose its a bad thing to have the cache max like that? [00:50] eugene_, strange... defiantly sounds like something with Grub, and i really don't know what else to suggest [00:51] ab2qik: no, but from grub menu, and the non-live, so alternate cd has a repair option, too [00:51] losher: Well, the thing is, I know there must exist a non-encrypted /boot partition if one wishes to have an encrypted root partition. [00:51] DasEi: lots of errors. but most say the file already exists [00:51] moreover. when i tried to load from 9.04 livecd and install it -- it tells me -- hey man I see 9.10 do you really want to erase it [00:51] so it must be grub [00:51] U-b-u-n-t-u: seems a hardware issue [00:51] losher: But I'm burning my brain trying to understand how to safely encrypt my root partition without ruining the installation or screwing up any updates, etc. === lukjad007 is now known as ShadowChild === ShadowChild is now known as lukjad007 [00:52] eugene_, that is what I am guessing...

[00:52] eugene_, have you tried reinstalling grub form the live disc yet? [00:52] dethaddr: so cd in there [00:52] aliendude5300: 29th October [00:52] !karmic [00:52] Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 29th, 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [00:52] losher: I figured /boot (non-encrypted), followed by / (encrypted) followed by /home (encrypted) makes sense. [00:52] sebsebseb: Not the final release -- the "BETA" version [00:52] The beta was released today aliendude5300 [00:52] I am not that good. don;t know how to do that [00:52] aliendude5300: the beta is/was (depending on time zone) the first of October [00:52] could you point me to docs [00:53] losher: Problem is, things start to confuse me when it comes to dm-crypt and luks and dd, etc. [00:53] joshua__: That's odd... I'm on the alpha, but it appears the release hasn [00:53] eugene_, give me a few and I will look [00:53] 't been announced through the update-manager [00:53] aliendude5300, if you are up to date then you are funning the beta [00:53] Hello ther [00:53] DasEi: ok [00:53] ok, thanks [00:53] flanders: Sorry, dunno much about encryption so I can't advise you, but it makes sense that *some* part of the boot process has to start out unencrypted. And there's nothing "interesting" in /boot, it's all standard stuff... [00:53] There [00:53] sebsebseb: no, beta went live today [00:53] DasEi, as 1st step should the files be copied back into /var? [00:53] It should appear as a distribution update, am I right? [00:54] aliendude5300, no [00:54] aliendude5300, and it won't when it goes gold either [00:54] losher: What is the best way to make a duplicate copy of my /boot folder to the new /boot partition? I was told "dd" would work. [00:54] fccf: beta on the 1st, but it's the 2nd now in a lot of the world [00:54] sadrolla: your drivers are not get loaded am looking to see if there is a driver for it [00:54] It simply says I'm running "Ubuntu karmic (development branch)" [00:54] ab2qik: this mess is a little hairy, can you boot a live cd on that comp and then come back in here ? [00:54] aliendude5300: ok you upgraded 9.04 to 9.10 or what? [00:55] losher: Can I simply do "cp -a /boot /mnt/newboot" without worrying about the new /boot partition being unbootable? [00:55] I've been running 9.10 for a long time now. [00:55] ctmjr: ok tanks so i wait for u :d [00:55] I used to be running 9.04 alpha. [00:55] aliendude5300: ok well then you should be getting support in #ubuntu+1 and not here [00:55] When the 9.10 will be release? [00:55] sebsebseb: It's not really support if it [00:55] !karmic [00:55] Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 29th, 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [00:55] doesn't matter what release I'm on [00:55] aliendude5300: if your re installing 9.04 [00:55] flanders : fstab & mark bootable reqired (f.e. gparted) [00:56] aliendude5300: let it go over Grub [00:56] aliendude5300, not really but they are kinda picky about that kinda stuff [00:56] I'm not reinstalling 9.04 [00:56] DasEi, ok thanks. Will shut this OS on this machine in order to get at ubuntu dual boot [00:56] aliendude5300: ok well I missed most of your issue it's up there some where [00:56] flanders: what are you planning to do with this copy of the boot partition? [00:56] I'm trying to upgrade from 9.10 alpha to the beta release. [00:57] DasEi: I don't need to touch the drive's MBR at all then? [00:57] Nothing seems to have changed. It should appear as a distribution update [00:57] aliendude5300, I told you... if you have 9.10 and it is current then you already have the beta [00:57] losher: I want to make a separate /boot partition (not simply a directory within the root partition) that Linux will boot from. [00:57] aliendude5300: ok well then yes you are in the wrong channel you should be in #ubuntu+1 asking for help [00:57] flanders: nope, /boot is not mbr located [00:57] DasEi: Alright, thanks. === lukjad007 is now known as lukjadOO7 === lukjadOO7 is now known as lukjad007 [00:57] joshua__: or maybe not exactly, because of issues that remained from the alpha [00:58] Another grub question: (hd0,1) refers to physical drive 1, partition 2? [00:58] flanders: sorry, I'm not sure. You need someone who knows more about the boot process than I do... [00:58] flanders: yes [00:58] sebsebseb: Okay. [00:59] sebsebseb: what's the reason for isolating alpha users? I know that it may be to prevent questions that can't be answered here, or require particular attention, but for the most part, unless a question applies specifically to a release and not the distribution in general, I see no reason to go to a channel with MUCH less people. [00:59] DasEi: am i screwed? [00:59] aliendude5300: I am not an op of this channel, I don't make the channel rules, and you can ask them in #ubuntu-ops [00:59] aliendude5300, of course can always download the ISo and to a clean install which is usually recommended anyways [01:00] aliendude5300: persoanlly I think it's a good thing that it's seperate before the final, because of the issues that can happen [01:00] aliendude5300: thing is since it's getting mentioned in here quite a lot, there are people going to it already, that shoudn't really be using it untill the final [01:00] dethaddr: no, it's a very simple thing, unpack the tar.gz, cd in the new dir and run nvidia-xconfig, maybe have a break [01:01] aliendude5300: I assume because karmic alpha is sufficiently unstable that even basic functionality isn't guaranteed and it's targetted at pro users for now. You don't want to mix that in with the newbies trying to boot 8.04... [01:01] Help help how do I fixed segmentation fault? [01:01] the dircolors in ubuntu. Are they in octal format? [01:02] shinichizio: segfaults are usually a programming issue, not much you can do at end user level [01:02] Well...dang. [01:02] aliendude5300: yes what losher put basically, except it's beta now, and most of the newbies do 9.04 [01:02] Because XMMS just did it to me after about two years of working totally fine. [01:02] bobertdos: Is there anything you can do to -cause- them? [01:03] DasEi: where is the new directory? [01:03] i need help in phpmyadmin [01:03] DasEi, but is it a necessarily bad event when there is a lot in cache? I am running ubuntu 64 bit [01:03] hey guys, im upgrading my system right now, and my problem is that my download speed is only like 50 kB/ps, but my internet connection is much better. what gives? [01:03] my download speed from the ubuntu server that is [01:03] Trizicus: If your talking about permissions, well yes they can be expressed in octal....... [01:03] I can't configurate my phpmyadmin === Paraselene__ is now known as Paraselene_ [01:03] i can't log in [01:04] sadrolla: i think you might be outa luck with your cam http://www.64bitjungle.com/tech/microdia-webcam-0c54-experimental-drivers-installation-and-testing-part-1/ [01:04] bobertdos: I mean when you ls and each file is in a different color. I noticed that you change the color based on two integers. Are they based on octal? [01:04] shinichizio: Well, what was the last thing you did before it happened? [01:04] losher: 8.04 is seen as old by most of the newbies, it's us more experiended users that know, that depending on hardware for example, that sometimes an older release such as 8.10 or 8.04 is actsaully better [01:04] sebsebseb: just because they call it 'beta' doesn't actually make it beta quality. For an example of the disadvantages of time-based releases, just watch Lucy and Ethel in the chocolate assembly line episode... [01:04] [01:04] i install the pakeges.. [01:04] bobertdos: I tried to play a music file from a folder on my desktop. Never did that before. [01:05] sadrolla: your cam is not on the list [01:05] bobertdos: Which is to say it never had a problem with me doing that. I always open it that way. [01:05] losher: What's that? and at least it's not like Microsoft rushing beta out and then ruishing the relase candiate and then rushing the final out. Ubuntu and most other opensource/freesoftwares goes through loads of testing first unlike most/all commercial software [01:05] I'm looking for a way to get the exit status of the first program in a series of pipes. is this possible? (e.g. if I run `foo | tee`, I seem to get the exit status of tee, not foo) [01:06] phpmyadmin...anybody can helpme? [01:06] ctmjr: so i can not my web cam on ubuntu :d tanks my frends [01:06] shinichizio: Well, try rebooting. It might not help, but in a nutshell, segfaulting is a memory thing. [01:06] bobertdos: I've rebooted twice now. Should I just leave the thing alone for a while? [01:06] when u right click an .exe file and click open with wine program loader, it is supposed to start up that right? because mine is not starting.... [01:06] sebsebseb: Except that time-based releases, by definition, have to go out on the prescribed date, whether they are ready or not. And sometimes, they are not ready... [01:07] sadrolla: that is what i come up with but have been wrong before and i hope i am this time [01:07] DasEi: i can just right click on the tar.gz file and extract it right? [01:07] shinichizio: What version of Ubuntu are you running? [01:07] aliendude5300: losher has a point there, just, because it's beta, doesn't nessariley make it beta quailty, there can still be alpha type bugs. When the final is out that's when newbies and other Ubuntu users should be getting it, plus that's when this channel can be used for supporting it, without being told to go to the other. [01:07] Uhh. [01:07] U-b-u-n-t-u: not until you get performance issues [01:07] aliendude5300: untill it no longer gets supported [01:07] !pm > caca [01:07] caca, please see my private message [01:07] losher: While there's some truth to that, it's not entirely accurate. For example, during the alpha stage, there's no guarantee for stability, so massive changes to core stuff gets pushed all the time and things break daily. During this stage, there's increased expectations of things to break less, so people will be less likely to break things. [01:07] dethaddr: on the desk, yes [01:08] bobertdos: Dapper Drake. [01:08] 10-to-1 that your next advice is 'upgrade'. [01:08] shinichizio: Oh wow, is there something preventing you from upgrading? [01:08] shinichizio: Server? or Desktop? [01:08] Oh, xmms. Desktop. [01:08] Flannel: Desktop [01:08] ctmjr: i low english , u think i can into feucher use my webcam ? [01:08] DasEi: so what do i do with that? cd /usr/src again? [01:09] shinichizio: You're aware that Dapper's EOL, right?

You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [01:10] sadrolla: I would hold onto it and see if they include a driver for it [01:10] bobertdos: (and possibly Flannel) Is that something I need to download? Or pay for? [01:10] Flannel: sebsebseb: I don't disagree with you all. And deciding when something is 'ready' is a judgement call too. It's kind of a balancing act, and depends on what mix of stability & new features one is comfortable with. Personally, I'm an 8.04 fan...

[01:12] ok, I made a chat bot that broke the tuing text, what do I do [01:12] shinichizio: I suggest sticking with the LTS releases, so you only have to upgrade every two years [01:12] losher: I want to continue our chat, but in pm [01:12] GnosticAscension: hiii dude [01:12] DasEi: is what we have beem trying to install the nvidia x server settings i just found? [01:12] bobertdos: Ok, good. I have dial-up, so size is a nontrivial issue. [01:12] Flannel: I'll keep that in mind. [01:13] sebsebseb: very good. Or would you prefer #ubuntu-offtopic so others can join too?

[01:52] in emerald how do i go back to default theme [01:53] status.xml* [01:53] ricky21tom: Like Scott said before, it's not for making DVD's, but rather for creating hard drive images and transferring them to a medium in archived format. It wouldn't be bootable of course, but you could make a drive image, burn it or save it to a flash drive and then restore it with partimage.

[01:58] ricky21tom: It's a commandline utility, so it must be run from the terminal. Basically, you can choose to create your archive using tar gzip files or bz2 if you want them to be more compressed. To specify where you want an image saved, you have to type in the full Unix path to the archive you want to make. Otherwise, you can just specify a file name, and it will save to the current working directory of the terminal.

[02:15] swtaarrs: Compiz uses viewports, not desktops. For the cube, you should always set in !ccsm > General Options > Desktop Size: "Number of desktops" to 1, "Vertical virtual size" to 1, and "Horizontal virtual size" to the number of sides you want on the cube. For the wall plugin, you can change "Vertical virtual size" as well. [02:15] joshua__, when you find one that works properly, let me know [02:15] Yeah i have to have it for work...

[02:44] oh,,, [02:44] don';t know anything about it [02:44] Roasted: normally it is listed under System Tools.. you can also launch it via command line by typing cairo-dock &disown .so that it isn't stuck to your terminal [02:44] Roasted: there is an #cairo-dock channel for help [02:44] yeahhhhhhh it aint under system tools [02:45] and theres like 10 people in the cairo dock channel [02:45] i prefer gnome-do [02:45] Roasted, i am installing it right now, will let you know in a second [02:45] thanks dood [02:45] ctmjr: tanks my dear i now very very huffy , i think is better that i go sleep [02:46] Roasted: well mine is under system tools [02:46] mine isnt :( [02:46] sadrolla: ok good night [02:46] Roasted: sometimes the menu isn't updated for a bit. possibly log out then back in.

[02:47] okay i didn't think it would be that long but it is taking forever to install [02:47] ubuntu 8.04 problem with serialports [02:47] ctmjr - I did run it from terminal, but I didnt see anything about widgets.

[02:48] hey guys.. i'm putting ubuntu on a really ram-challenged machine (only 256).. could you recommend a lightweight browser that'll still do java and flash and preferably do tabbed as well? [02:48] I need to enable multi serialport on pci card [02:48] Roasted: probably the best way to enjoy cairo-dock is to get the latest .deb as version 2.X is far better than the 1.6 versino in synaptic [02:49] DasEi: you rooocccckkkk [02:49] Roasted: i have a link for the .debs if you wish. [02:49] sure thing [02:50] Roasted: http://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=8724 get the cairo-dock and the plugins.. install the dock first then plugins [02:50] dethaddr: thanks for that, but to be honest I have a quite bad day today, nvm and good to hear [02:50] FiReSTaRT: I think you might be better of running a lightweight distro designed for a small machine, and then run firefox inside it. E.g. puppylinux, damn small linux, google for 'lightweight distros'... [02:50] FiReSTaRT, check out arora [02:50] DasEi: thanks for your patients [02:50] Well, I have returned, alas... No wireless still. [02:50] please help [02:51] dethaddr: np, dizzy anyway as I said XD [02:51] DasEi, i have pasted to pastebin. Its a new install [02:51] Roasted: uninstall the cairo-dock you install via synaptic before using the newer .debs [02:51] losher: i'm familiar with ubuntu, so i'll compromise and run xubuntu on it, therefore, firefox would eat it alive [02:51] FiReSTaRT: I really like Puppy actually. If you still wanted to try Ubuntu though, maybe Xubuntu would help....? [02:51] bastid - already uninstalled it [02:51] joshua__: i'll look it up thanks :) [02:51] bastid - if Im running 9.04 64 bit, am I grabbing hardy 64, i686, or what? [02:51] DasEi, sending url, a moment pls. [02:51] btw this will be my 2nd convert of the week lol [02:51] I don't remember if it does flash and java [02:51] but it is in the repos [02:52] FiReSTaRT: fair enough. Just as long as you know you have other options which may work better. [02:52] sudo apt-get arora [02:52] hay all, didn't get a response in kubuntu, so thought I would ask here. I am trying to add a superkaramba widget in plasma. works fine in superkaramba, but wont show up in the list in plasma, any ideas [02:52] n8tuser: how do you choose not to install grub in the live cd install [02:52] Roasted: Roasted get the _x86_64.deb's [02:52] please help with serial pci card enable multiport ubuntu 8.04 [02:52] DasEi, http://pastebin.com/m7adef9ff and http://pastebin.com/m1a218eb4 [02:52] i find the answer echo "set ts=4" >> /etc/vim/vimrc [02:52] losher: i probably would have run dsl, but since i only have significant experience with ubuntu and wanna make sure that the machine is properly set up by tomorrow evening....... :P [02:53] losher: already ran it with a portable setup :) [02:53] eido: the last page before formatting has an 'advanced' button i believe [02:53] Can someone help me with a sound card issue, aplay -l gives Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: ALC883 Analog [ALC883 Analog] [02:53] DasEi, pls have a look. I have not mounted lvm points. New install [02:53] Roasted, where you the one looking for help with cairo? [02:54] joshua - I was trying to launch it cause it didnt come up in my menu, but Im installing the newer deb now instead of the older synaptic version [02:54] joshua__: it looks like it can be downloaded via synaptic :D [02:54] Pricey: thats after the advanced partitioning part right? [02:54] FiReSTaRT, yes i said that [02:54] bastid - yeah it came up in system tools now [02:54] bastid - thanks brosef [02:54] eido: not completely sure [02:55] DasEi: i have a new question. [02:55] Roasted, look in your accessories in your application menu [02:55] DasEi: and this should be much easier [02:55] joshua__: i must have missed it.. ok time to start burning and also hook up the peripherials to the machine.. thanks for the help :) [02:55] Roasted: cool, try out some of the themes.. also you can mix match icons/themes and create your own. good luck [02:55] ew.

[03:29] 2gb [03:29] whitey1: Hmm, you could be having compiz issues. Perhaps you should disable visual effects and see if you can at least switch windows in a non-accelerated environment. [03:29] DasEi, 2gb [03:30] bobertdos: im able to switch between netbook and standard when using the desktop switcher, its when i start the system that it doesn't work [03:30] ab2qik: so you might need 1 swap if you exceed that memory or want to hibernate, anyway, let's get it done, install lvm if not done : [03:31] ab2qik: sudo apt-get install lvm2 [03:31] whitey1: Okay, so are we talking about switching between windows or physical displays? [03:32] If I need to find the .inf driver for my wireless card, to try it through ndiswrapper, what should I look for? [03:32] DasEi, lvm is installed. Running lvscan shows the active lv's devices available & ready for mounting [03:32] bobertdos: when i start the system, i have no bars on the top or the bottom [03:32] ab2qik: sudo mkdir /lvm_var [03:32] chu_: XP drivers seem to work best it seems. [03:32] ab2qik: sudo mkdir lvm_var ,sorry [03:32] my desktop is there, and so are some icons, and i can even make a launcher. just nothing else [03:32] ab2qik: sudo mkdir lvm_usr [03:33] Hello, I downloaded the latest ubuntu 32bit version, and im trying to install it on an older laptop and having problems. [03:33] And I just need to find the right inf and sys files yeah? [03:33] DasEi, if you dont mind i prefer mkdir varlv [03:33] DasEi, mkdir usrlv [03:33] ab2qik: sudo mount /dev/.. /varlv [03:34] .. [03:34] DasEi, ok [03:34] Ryan\n have you tryed downloading it from a different site [03:34] My Problem: After I select to install ubuntu, the ubuntu scrreen comes up, then a list of [ 229.186529] -- [ end trace ###] --, and my num lock and caps lock keys flash constantly [03:34] audigy6x, I don't think the download was corrupt [03:34] whitey1: I've used this before to force my whole session to rebuild. Perhaps this would help you. http://linuxfud.wordpress.com/2007/02/14/how-to-reset-ubuntugnome-settings-to-defaults-without-re-installing/ [03:34] How old is the ladtop [03:35] DasEi, whats next [03:35] mmm, its aDell Lattitude, maybe 5~8 years [03:35] I'm running 185 and it's using all my settings from jaunty without even installing compiz fusion manager... lol [03:35] ab2qik: sudo cp -r /var/* /varlv [03:35] oops... sorry [03:35] ab2qik: sudo cp -r /usr/* /usrlv [03:35] audigy6x, Dell Latitude, maybe 5~8 years. [03:36] Intel pentiume 4 or 3 [03:36] DasEi, but i did exactly what you are saying except it was for /mnt/var NOT varlv [03:36] hi gang, has anyone in here used open-iscsi on ubuntu ? [03:36] audigy6x, 3 [03:36] DasEi, that would not make a difference would it? [03:36] audigy6x, Dell latitude C600 if that helps [03:37] ive looked through several online guides which seem to say the same thing [03:37] This Atheros.cz website recommends trying madwifi... I have heard madwifi and ndiswrapper don't get along too friendly.. Should I remove ndiswrapper and try madwifi? [03:37] heres the problem, after i discover and login, there are no new disks present in fdisk -l [03:37] any ideas what the issue might be ? [03:37] ryan/n.....yeah ubuntu has problems with intels 3 ....might what to try open suse [03:37] ab2qik: the fstab least was wrong [03:38] ab2qik: sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab_fresh [03:39] audigy6x, this is unfortunate, thanks, I guess i will try that then :), what exactly is suse? different distribution of linux?

[03:40] audigy6x, can you help me with this? [03:40] for C,C++ [03:41] fancy, emacs -nw [03:41] :( personne parle francais ? [03:41] hmmm that didnt work. I installed ubuntu to hda6 and chose no boot loader. configured lilo on hda1 to "image = /boot/vmlinuz root = /dev/hda6 label = Ubuntu" ubuntu starts booting but once at the text login the screen flashes the a graphic window error appears that video is in basic mode and freezes [03:41] should image = /boot/vmlinuz? [03:42] whn i went to download and install droopbox the installer fails and says bad descriptor [03:42] ab2qik:change the "dev/Vg1/var" to the correctr identifiers http://paste.ubuntu.com/283457/ [03:43] audigy6x, do I have to do some compilation here? or will there be a deb? [03:43] Chu what are you trying to do [03:43] eido : no, path is right, got a problem with graphics [03:43] eido : boot in recoverymode > fix x-xserver [03:43] Install this arth5k package [03:44] Hello, I am trying to watch a live stream at www.hockeystreams.com (in the Firefox browser), but it is telling me "No packages with the requested plugins found," and they are: Windows Media Video 9 decoder, Windows Media Audio 8 decoder...but I've installed ubuntu-restricted, the medibuntu codecs, etc... [03:44] ath5k* [03:44] DasEi, "dev/Vg1/var" to mount to /varlv [03:44] DasEi: can I fix x-xserver in the live session I am running? [03:44] ab2qik: no, to /var [03:44] khelvan: Install w32-codecs [03:44] well I use my ath5k driver in Backtrack4 pre [03:44] eido:yes, mount the hd.. [03:45] Please paste this into #linux for me: I warned you bitchstew. "We, the coders and creators think you suck arse" Please shut the hell up bitch! [03:45] Umeaboy - I am running on 64-bit, I need the 32-bit codecs too? [03:45] DasEi, this i where i dont get it [03:46] Oh noes, apparantly I have to compile my own kernel. [03:46] ab2qik: the mountpoint is just an file organisation, the identifier in front of fstab the real place it writes/reads [03:47] eido:sudo fdisk -l [03:47] eido : or mount [03:47] DasEi: yeah so i am looking at the xorg now [03:48] eido : find your root partition, like /dev/sda5 or sth [03:48] eido : where is it mounted ? [03:48] DasEi, Device = /dev/Vg1/var. Mounted on /varlv. In fstab, device = /dev/Vg1/var. Mounted/identifier = /var [03:49] ab2qik: right [03:49] DasEi: i mounted sda6 which holds the ubuntu install [03:49] here is the xorg for ubuntu http://pastebin.com/m309b4792 [03:49] eido: mount (no args) to find the mountpoint (?/media/disk) [03:50] eido : in live cd's terminal : sudo chroot /dev/sda6 [03:50] Only my video drivers appear in Hardware Drivers! [03:50] chu_: normal behaviour [03:51] ab2qik: save fstab, close file, reboot [03:51] Umeaboy - I tried installing w32codecs, and got this: Package w32codecs is not available, but is referred to by another package. [03:51] khelvan: Okey. What package? [03:51] chroot: cannot change root directory to /dev/sda6: Not a directory [03:51] gstreamer-bad-ugly? [03:52] khelvan: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [03:52] DasEi: cant i just fix the xorg on sda6? [03:52] khelvan: Have you already added the medibuntu repo and added the key to the keyring? [03:52] eido : sorry, chroot to the dir mount told you about sda6 o' course === dasuperham is now known as SuPeRhAm [03:53] DasEi, ok. You sure this will do it. It does make sense. Hope it works. [03:53] umeaboy, dasei, bobertdos - I already have ubuntu-restricted-extras, already added medibuntu and the keyring, already installed w64codecs from medibuntu [03:53] ab2qik: if not, can just copy fstab back [03:54] DasEi: Apparantly my wireless card should be visible though? [03:54] UBUNTU ROCKS [03:54] khelvan: Okey, so you're on 64-bit? [03:54] chu_: not in that section, [03:54] khelvan: I might be mistaken, but I think it only allows you to install one or the other, 32 or 64. [03:54] Now per umeaboy above to get a windows media video 9 decoder and windows media audio 8 decoder I need to install w32codecs, and got the error above...yes, 64-bit [03:54] !wireless | chu [03:54] chu: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [03:54] audigy6x: So does Mandriva. :) [03:55] true very true [03:55] eido : chroot'ed ? [03:55] khelvan: I believe that'll solve it. [03:55] HELP!! are the all the ubuntu servers slow right now, or what?? download from ubuntu.com is SLOW!! [03:55] hi guys, what's the best solution for VNC on startup? ie.. computer boots up and you want to vnc to it without having to locally log in first? [03:55] DasEi: not sure what you want me to change root to> [03:55] umeaboy - thanks, uname: Linux bateleur 2.6.28-15-generic #49-Ubuntu SMP Tue Aug 18 19:25:34 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux - but I already have w64codecs installed, and I still have the problem regarding wmv9 and audio 8 [03:55] DasEi, cheers man [03:55] eido: mount (no args) to find the mountpoint (?/media/disk) [03:55] DasEi, fstab_fresh is a backup if need to recopy to fstab? [03:55] DasEi: cant i just edit the xorg on sda6 [03:56] ab2qik: right [03:56] khelvan: Check in mplayer what codec is needed. [03:56] newbie01: Everyone and their brother is probably going after the beta right now, which is probably suffocating the pipelines. [03:56] eido: you could if you knew exact expressions, but from your question I assume don't [03:56] DasEi: ok sudo chroot /media/disk-2 [03:57] bobertdos -- THANKS! that makes perfect sense. here I thought the sky was falling.. should I check out the new beta? [03:57] eido: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorgbroken [03:57] DasEi, Thankyou, desi. Its late here. 4am. cant take more. see ca. [03:57] newbie01: We generally say, only if you're prepared to encounter bugs. [03:57] eido: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [03:58] eido : then reboot and check (hd) [03:58] I have an ubuntu install on sda3. But I want to move it to another disk sda2. What is the best way to go about that? [03:58] help, i don't have sound in adobe flash in firefox [03:58] it worked before though [03:59] and amarok works === jerald is now known as prappl93 [03:59] kohwj: What version of Ubuntu are you running? [03:59] bobertdos -- I'll check it out.. thanks for keeping linux cool, everyone!! [03:59] Every time I log in, gnome-pilot Setup launches... how do I stop this? [03:59] kohwj: make sure PCM volume is turned up. MASTER may be fine but PCM not. [04:00] kohwj: If you're on Hardy and using Pulse, you cannot have two programs using audio simultaneously. [04:00] mikinanuq: bobertdos: whoops, PCM was down! thanks [04:00] okay then :) [04:00] DasEi: I think that bombed http://pastebin.com/m78c8e2bd [04:02] hey there, running a server running xubuntu, I have a 40g IDE drive with the OS installed, then a 1tb sata drive attached to a sata card in there. Trouble is the 40g (the one with the OS) has filled up. In QTParted, the sata drive shows up as sda, the hdd with the OS shows up as sdb. I thought I mounted the new drive at /media , that way if anything I saved at /media went on that new HDD. Is that the way it works? What have I done wrong [04:03] umeaboy - the problem is in an embedded player in Firefox (http://www.hockeystreams.com/preview) - how can I check it in mplayer?\ [04:03] eido: did a new xorg, try to reboot from hd, if it still fails : reboot again, press when grub loading.. appears, choose recovery-mode and then again run repair xserver [04:04] i didnt install grub [04:04] or do you mean on the live boot [04:05] homebrewcider: do a 'df -h' and see what's mounted. maybe you didn't mount it right. [04:05] DasEi: the text in xorg.conf on sda6 is the same [04:08] eido: reboot from hd, press when grub loading.. appears, choose recovery-mode and then again run repair xserver [04:08] So, I'm up to this point, in this tutorial where they want me to clean out the free drivers I *may* have installed. How can I check to make sure that I do have these drivers installed? Sorry, they've given me an uber long command, and I'm a bit hesitant to enter it.... [04:08] DasEi: i dont have grub installed [04:08] eido: but ? [04:09] DasEi: i am using lilo [04:09] chu_: apt-cache policy packagename .. that command will tell you if the packages/drivers are install. you will have to know the exact driver/package [04:09] Yeah, cheers bastid_razor [04:09] eido: this also lets you choose bootentry, F4 or sth [04:10] Whats the Terminal command for getting Java? I know its sudo apt-get install, but what am I installing? [04:10] !java [04:10] To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository [04:10] Unrestricted [04:11] Thanks, I already have the unrestricted ones... what just happened? [04:11] hi [04:11] Ah, yes. [04:11] Netsplits all around. [04:12] is it possible to install Ubuntu on a USB Drive? (an Ubuntu where I can modify files, UNetBootin does not work because it only boots an ISO) [04:12] conky?? [04:12] robjonson: you can install ubuntu onto a USB drive [04:12] conky with lua ... how to install from repositories?? [04:13] robjonson: what OS are you using? [04:13] pablo__: what is lua? [04:13] What is it about Linux's file system that makes it useless to defrag it? [04:14] !defrag | Roasted [04:14] Roasted: The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext3) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. [04:14] the hdd I "mounted" at /media/data doesn't show up [04:15] where can i get any cool monospace font for my gnome-terminal? [04:15] homebrewcider: how did you attempt to mount it? [04:15] bastid_razor --> http://norsetto.890m.com/Conky_Cairo.php [04:15] roasted: cause it uses FAT32 using ext3 where as Windows uses NFTS [04:16] homebrewcider: sorry gotta go but looks like bastid_raZor might be able to help. [04:16] char00les - what? FAT32 uses ext3? [04:16] Jill --> sudo apt-get install ttf-droid [04:17] pablo__: what about ttf-driod and cyrillic? [04:17] Roasted: sorry...i guess i got that wrong [04:17] checking something here, will get back [04:17] Is it just me, or is Ubuntu a networking nightmare unless you use Gnome? [04:17] it's a cool font monospace [04:17] need to reboot..brb [04:17] I'm trying to set a share folder across two computers running Ubuntu. When I right click the folder and press sharing options, it tells me I need to install the Windows networks sharing service. Why is it telling me to install something that has to do with Windows? [04:18] !samba | foundry87 [04:18] foundry87: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [04:18] pablo__: go to the downloads section of that website. it shows what packages are required to use that. you can get conky from apt-get but you'll need to build the cairo portion. [04:18] Omlette: I don't want to do anything with Windows, I don't have any computers with Windows. They are two computers running Ubuntu. [04:19] If I switch to Openbox - my wifi doesn't work. Is there a standard way to fix this? [04:19] monokrome: ask in #openbox ? [04:19] thank's I think i have to compile a while... [04:20] bastid_raZor: That is an issue with any window manager that isn't running in Gnome, so it is a Ubuntu question. Ubuntu has foobar networking. [04:20] pablo__: yeah, good luck. that looks like a cool add on to conky. i am a fan of conky myself. [04:21] what are the risks of reinstalling an operating system that is using mdadm for a raid that does not contain the system information? [04:22] reckon I must've mounted it as sdb (assuming that the first hdd would be sda) but now in qtparted the first hdd shows up as sdb, and the new one as sda [04:22] I instaled Karmic ALpha6 ... when the final version it's ready... i have to do a dist-upgrade?? [04:23] I have an ubuntu install on sda3. But I want to move it to another disk sda2. What is the best way to go about that? [04:23] homebrewcider: in a terminal type sudo fdisk -l ..this will show you all drives connected (mounted or not) to your computer. [04:24] okay that didn't work either, I tried compiz --replace. Then I restarted and still nothing. If i start compiz from terminal, everything seems fine, anyone see this and fix it before? [04:24] pablo__: #ubuntu+1 for karmic .. and no you should be able to just do a regular apt-get update and be at the final. [04:24] I am on ubuntu 9.04 [04:24] how can I tell if I'm using 64 bit ubuntu or 32 bit ubuntu? [04:24] Ok... and thank you very much [04:24] ronjohnson: uname -m [04:24] the hdd I want to mount shows up in that as sda [04:25] thanks bastid_raZor [04:25] quick question - if i want to alias a domain name to another (like in /etc/hosts, but i want to point one domain to another, rather than a domain at an IP), is there a simple way to do it? [04:25] does anyone know what could cause my computer to struggle to download at speeds greater than 30Kb/s whenever i download anything via wget in the terminal. my computer is plugged directly into the AT&T U-Verse Gateway and the plan i'm on is supposed to allow download speeds of 300Mb/s [04:25] ronjohnson you would know from the ver you downlod [04:25] huston_, what are you connecting to? some sites throttle the traffic [04:25] homebrewcider: it should have a number after sda.. then you can easily mount it via /etc/fstab on each boot [04:26] no, sdb has 1,2 and 5, sda has nothing [04:27] Wow. The karmic repos are getting hammered [04:27] homebrewcider: can you pastebin the output of sudo fdisk -l [04:27] i am connecting to http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.10/ubuntu-9.10-beta-desktop-amd64.iso [04:27] not really, on another computer [04:27] Im getting 50kB from them now [04:28] homebrewcider: does the computer that has issues have internet? command line only? [04:28] the last question.... I like to start ubuntu with compiz ... but i have to starting from compiz fusion icon because compiz didn't start by default... how can configure that? [04:28] pablo__: you're on karmic right? [04:28] hang on [04:28] working on pasting it [04:28] yes... in Karmic [04:29] is lubuntu supported yet by ubuntuforums? [04:29] homebrewcider: if you have internet on that box do: sudo apt-get install pastebinit ..then youc an pastebin files from command line [04:29] pablo__: please join #ubuntu +1 [04:29] ok so apparently it's not just me having issues downloading the Karmic beta live cd iso. [04:30] http://pastebin.ca/1588848 [04:30] brb...try this again... [04:30] huston_: im doing updates and its sloooooooooooooooooooooooooo === jerald is now known as prappl93 [04:30] huston_, the servers are being hammered right now...people across the globe downloading [04:30] one more thing why is it that even though i have more than 1 computer on my network that is running ubuntu, neither of them can seem to discover each other. === Jay|Lost_ is now known as Jay|Lost [04:30] huston_, how are you trying? [04:31] how I do that?? [04:31] I have a bit of an annoyance. Every time I log onto Ubuntu, the Palm OS Devices setup thing loads. How do I stop this from happening? [04:31] Places > Network [04:31] pablo__: /join #ubuntu+1 to join that channel. [04:31] huston_, are you trying ssh or what? [04:32] /join #ubuntu+1 [04:32] ssh? [04:32] also does anybody know of a good media streamer to stream to the ps3? [04:32] pablo__, you have to make a new channel tab or tree then do the cmd above [04:32] huston_, secure shell! [04:32] ok.... I do that .., thanks [04:33] pablo__: or type it without the preceding space [04:33] bastid http://pastebin.ca/1588848 [04:33] huston_, you know ssh? [04:34] uhm. no. never even heard of the term before now. [04:34] homebrewcider: it isn't showing a valid partition on /dev/sdb [04:34] ssh --> secure shell [04:35] ok thx to wikipedia i now know what it is. [04:36] How do I prevent the gnome-pilot settings thing from showing up when logging in? [04:37] seems like I screwed it up big time hey [04:37] why is the eclipse package in jaunty only at version 3.2? *boggle* [04:37] como corrigo esse erro: ntdll:find_reg_tz_info Can't find matching timezone information in the registry for bias 180, std (d/m/y): 24/02/2008, dlt (d/m/y): 2/11/2008 [04:37] ? [04:37] do you mean sda? [04:37] ferezini, hablas ingles? [04:38] where do i go to make my ubuntu computers visible on my network? [04:38] homebrewcider: yes, sorry. [04:39] how would I fix that? there an easy way? [04:39] Let's hope something has changed .. [04:39] prappl93 no [04:39] homebrewcider: in gparted it clearly saw the drive with no partition? [04:40] !es | ferezini [04:40] can someone look at this error. I dont think it is from my xorg http://pastebin.com/d66e04301 [04:40] ferezini: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [04:40] homebrewcider: have you ever actually used the drive before? [04:40] ferezini, lo siento, mas personas hablas ingles aqui [04:41] thought I was, till it (obviously the other one) was full [04:41] running qtparted again now [04:41] guys, if I'm serious about running linux on top of linux (Ubuntu Feisty inside Ubuntu Jaunty), what virtualization application should I use? [04:42] shows up now as status "hidden" [04:42] I've found out that there are at least 5 virtualization programs [04:42] chuy_max: vmware or virtualbox [04:42] so, I'm looking for a simple, command-line backup tool [04:42] I need it as fat32 [04:42] I can write my own perl script, but I thought there might already be something out there [04:42] bastid_raZor, have you noticed a performance difference between both programs? [04:42] What's the cli command to find out what version of ubuntu is installed? [04:42] i'd have to say i wasn't using ssh considering the package for it wasn't installed [04:42] backintime looks, nice, but it's GUI [04:42] and this machine is a headless server [04:43] Scunizi: lsb_release -a ..you're serious? :P [04:43] bastid_raZor: not my machine.. just trying to get a hp printer working [04:43] bastid_raZor, or devices compatibility problems? [04:43] i'm here to help [04:43] bastid_raZor: personally I never use the command enough to remember it. [04:43] _celthunder, hey! [04:43] no partitions show up on sda [04:43] Still no wireless :( [04:44] chuy_max: virtualbox from the repo's lacks usb support which is why i prefer vmware. [04:44] chu_, hello [04:44] hi [04:44] Hey Zachk18 [04:44] Scunizi: good luck. [04:44] chu_, what seems to be the issue my friend? [04:45] So, I'm following this ndiswrapper tutorial on help.ubuntu [04:45] chu_, ok [04:45] I have just gone through the configuration process, and ndiswrapper -l actually returns something! However, I still can't get any wireless going on. [04:46] chu_: lspci | grep Ethernet ..what card do you have?

[04:46] bastid_raZor: a little query on ubuntuforums and looks like I'll need to install the latest hplip to get this one working.. :) I hope anyway [04:46] Is there an official change list for Ubuntu 9.10 from 9.04? [04:47] I have been told the at5k package is what I want... [04:47] chu_: Jaunty has ath5/9 modules preloaded.. [04:47] bastid_raZor, I have 1 more question, I know vmWare is proprietary, is it free?

[04:48] Nothing but nvidia drivers [04:48] My gnome thingy popped up a nice little message saying "your system had a kernel failure" with some dialog box options. I don't actually care about this message, and more to the point, I can't get rid of it because I don't have a mouse plugged in [04:49] Someone save me [04:49] chu_: try installing the package. [04:49] I just tried this sudo modprobe ndiswrapper command, and it gave me the following error "FATAL: Module ndiswrapper not found."

[04:51] Is there an official change guide for 9.10 or will that be released along side 9.10? [04:51] bastid_raZor: Is there any other keyboard shortcuts I can try? [04:51] prappl93, welcome..first time to ubuntu? [04:51] chu_: buu possibly windows key and tab ? [04:51] I am rather new, yes, but I have been on here before. [04:52] prappl93, feel free to open a dialog window with me [04:52] bastid_raZor: .. windows tab? [04:52] prappl93, it can get confusing in here [04:52] bastid_raZor: Mmm nope [04:53] buu: windows key.. no other idea if those two key combos work. [04:53] chu_: the https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Atheros page didn't help? [04:54] is there a way to shrink the menu icons?

It apear to me that the same packages are used. [04:55] I only see a way to remove them. are menu icons not vector graphics? [04:55] Ok, hopefully this works. [04:56] Reboot time, thanks bastid_razor for the help, I should be back shortly. [04:58] also when removing the menu icons and shrinking the text size the items do not get any closer. is anyone familiar with this? [05:00] No luck yet. [05:00] There has to be some way to make this dialog go away [05:00] chu_: are you trying while plugged in with an ethernet cable? [05:01] Yeah, but wireless isn't even visible anymore.

[05:25] RussellAlan: because that is a graphical application, it uses gksudo instead of sudo. try gksudo gparted [05:25] donnybrasco, the only thing I can think of is to use xrandr .. are you familiar with the command line? [05:25] harisund: yes [05:25] lstarnes: ahh gracious senior [05:25] shane2peru, downloaded it from getdeb, just installed it via gdebi.. but i think i removed later mysql which it depends on, and it just flipped [05:25] The Palm OS Devices thing keeps coming up when I log into Ubuntu, how do I fix this?

[05:27] jasmuz: double click it to re-install it [05:28] Does anyone know how I can enforce the larger DPI ( I set it to 120 instead of 96 ) on X apps I started over SSH X11 Forwarding ?

[05:46] te: if the mirrors are going too slow, you can torrent the updates (faster sometimes) [05:46] yeah that's a good idea i guess [05:46] harisund, what does ? mean? [05:46] but just changing to a faster server got me back to 6MB down [05:46] :) [05:47] prappl93, are you familiar with using the command line? [05:47] Somewhat, but I am newish with Ubuntu still === Misko is now known as Wassupdock [05:48] hi all. i have nvidia geforce 9100 but i cant get it worknig.. envy says everything is not compatible :( [05:48] harisund, somewhat, but I am still newish with Ubuntu [05:48] prappl93, see the "Palm OS device support thingy" that pops up is called gnome-pilot or something, and I think the service is gpilotd [05:48] lstarnes: will you help me? [05:48] prappl93,which Ubuntu are you using? 9.04? [05:48] I was setting up my new install of ubuntu 9.04 and decided after setting everything up that I wanted to change my username and computer name. I was going to refer to post 8 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=64021 for the username part unless there is a better suggestion, and I am still looking for how to change the computer name. Thanks in advance. [05:48] RussellAlan: I don't know how to resolve that issue. sorry [05:48] harisund, yes. Its gpilotd [05:49] harisund, what was the command to stop it from loading at start up again? [05:49] prappl93, so basically you need to stop the gpilotd service from running [05:49] prappl93, somebody put it up earlier, let me scroll back hang on [05:49] lstarnes put it up .. sudo update-rc.d gpilotd -f remove [05:50] prappl93, what you could do is install some application like "bum" and use it to stop gpilotd and other services from loading at startup time [05:50] harisund, I did that and got this: "update-rc.d: /etc/init.d/gpilotd: file does not exist" [05:51] prappl93, how did you find out it was gpilotd/ [05:51] I mean, it could be under a different name === clay_ is now known as ClayG [05:51] I typed gpilotd into terminal and it ran the thing, I don't know, but thats the App name [05:51] prappl93, ok are you familiar with the terminal? Can you type a command out [05:51] Probably [05:53] prappl93, by the way, do you want that software? I guess you could just uninstall the software if you don't use Palm Pilot PDA devicxes [05:53] What is the easiest way to fix grub? I installed xp and couldn't get to ubuntu after, I tried supergrub which allowed me to get into ubuntu but then it doesn't let me select os's and now I can't get into xp, what is the easiest way be able to see the screen whre you pick os's ? [05:53] harisund, sort of but not really... could I do a sudo apt-get remove gpilotd and then a sudo apt-get install gpilotd and that should fix it? [05:53] The name of the software by the way is gnome-pilot [05:54] So you could do sudo apt-get --purge remove gnome-pilot if you want to be totally rid of it [05:54] I don't think it installs any service, since I don't see anything in /etc/init.d that could be related to this. Does this start when you login to the desktop? [05:54] I should apparantly have a /lib/modules/`uname -r`/misc/ndiswrapper.ko but /lib/modules/`uname -r` only has 3 directories, initrd, kernel and updates. [05:54] I thought there is a built in boot loader editor gui? [05:54] Am I looking in the wrong place? [05:55] Yes. I just uninstalled it then reinstalling it right now... I will see if it fixed it by logging out then back in [05:55] harisund, brb === jerald is now known as prappl93 [05:56] harisund, what was the command to purge it again? [05:56] prappl93, sudo apt-get --purge remove gnome-pilot [05:56] clayg, I actually had that issue earlier, I ended up giving up and just wiped my ubuntu install, grub2 has builtin grub rescue features though. [05:56] help me pls [05:56] ubutu doesn't automount USB drives? [05:57] harisund, so if I were to reinstall those it would be similar to on Windows uninstalling it entirely then reinstalling it new? [05:57] i have nvidia geforce 9100.. why cant envy find the right driver? [05:57] i cant use webcam on kopete [05:57] Technically yeah [05:57] you could then do sudo apt-get install gnome-pilot [05:57] stargate: can i just install grub2? [05:57] pls pm me [05:57] So that *should* fix the problem? [05:57] Ok, so I don't have a misc dir in /lib/modules/2.6.30/ where would I find the equivalent then? [05:57] prappl93, only difference being unlike windows you can do it in 2 commands instead of a bunch of "next" "next" "next" clicks [05:58] The software sources screen seems to be frozen. Is it processing something? [05:58] hey guys. my system just froze. how should i restart x next time? [05:58] harisund, let me log out again and back in and see if the purge then reinstall works. [05:58] prappl93, let me knwo if it did [05:58] stargate: it's too bad, it would be kind of handy to have a program that goes "We found these os's on your OS, select the ones you'd like to choose from when your computer starts" and you do, and then it's fixed. [05:58] really, I just plugged in a usb drive to my ubuntu machine [05:58] clayg, not sure. you can also attempt to reinstall grub via ubuntu live cd, i personally had no luck with that [05:58] prappl93, if not there are some other stuff we can try [05:58] and I need to manually mount it? [05:59] hehe, well there are plenty, it's just whether they work, especially from windows, clayg === jerald is now known as prappl93 [05:59] stargate: I'm in ubuntu now. [05:59] stargate: I just need something that will let me get back into windows [05:59] harisund, no luck... is there a possibility this is set up to launch on the root account so all subsequent accounts will launch it? [06:00] prappl93, ok what exactly is happening when you login? [06:00] prappl93, are you getting an error message, or is a software application starting up or ..? [06:00] stargate: I could have sworn in past distro version I was able to edit grub in a gui from ubuntu but I can't find it now. === dous__ is now known as suodla [06:00] clayg, oh i'msorry, i thought you meant you could only access windows and not ubuntu, not the other way around [06:00] Sweet new error now, this is progress! [06:00] harisund, the computer loads the fact that I have the black cursor selected then the gnome-pilot shows up. [06:00] stargate: at first yes, but I got supergrub which now makes it only go into ubuntu lol [06:00] harisund: that didn't work [06:00] hmmm, I see the issue [06:00] stargate: do you know of a way inside ubuntu to fix it gui style? [06:01] how do I format a USBdrive in ubuntu? [06:01] donnybrasco, one second let me get back to you [06:01] harisund: do you think running my second monitor as a separate xserver would help [06:01] clayg, i don't gui-wise, but i remember reading online how to re-add windows via terminal if that happens [06:01] agliodbs use gparted to do that [06:01] clayg, give me a second to look it up [06:01] agliodbs: Same as any other drive, with your partitioning/formatting tool of choice. I like gparted for graphical jobs. [06:01] donnybrasco, here's a link to get you started, i will get back to you in a second http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1056225 [06:01] harisund: thanks [06:02] tonyyarusso: and for non-graphical? [06:02] now prappl93 [06:02] prappl93, let's do one thing .. are you running gnome? [06:02] agliodbs: cfdisk [06:02] guys, what can one do if ubuntu freezes? is therera way not to lose your work? [06:02] harisund, yes [06:02] hello :) [06:03] ooooh [06:03] so quiet in here [06:03] cfdisk didn't like that drive [06:03] this isn't normal :P [06:03] prappl93, ok in System -> Preferences -> Startup applicatino [06:03] prappl93, do you see anything pilot related? [06:03] agliodbs: uh oh, what happened? [06:03] n [06:03] harisund, not at all [06:03] Warning!! Unsupported GPT (GUID Partition Table) detected. Use GNU Parted. [06:04] clayg, my system is all wonky atm, but i recall seeing an article on google when searching "reinstall grub after windows" [06:04] clayg, I'll be back as soon as i reboot. [06:04] prappl93, ok what about output of stuff like "pstree" or "top" or "ps ax" do you see anything listed pilot related? [06:04] stargate: I'll check it out, thanks [06:04] prappl93, basically I am trying to find out what application is running, then we can figure out a way to stop it [06:04] gparted is a GUI tool, though, yes? [06:05] harisund, none of those appear [06:05] donnybrasco, any luck? Are you able to configure each monitor to its correct resolution? Is your ubuntu able to identify the 2 monitors? How do you know that? [06:05] yes agliodbs [06:05] :-( [06:05] agliodbs: Intriguing. Well, there's gparted and there's parted - parted is GNU parted, and gparted is the GNOME frontend - confusing I know. [06:06] Gah! [06:06] Horrible. [06:06] harisund: yes - the res is fine ... used kdesudo nvidia-settings to edit xorg.conf file - my problem lies with having my second monitor rotated [06:06] harisund, so, should I just restart my computer and use one of the things in the GRUB menu to redo my system? I forgot what its called... [06:07] donnybrasco, you said when you typed "xrandr" in a terminal it said noo such command found? [06:07] yes [06:07] prappl93, I am not sure I understand what you are talking about .. there's something you can do in Grub menu that redoes your system? oO [06:07] harisund, from what I read them as, yeah... but I am probably sadly mistaken [06:07] donnybrasco, let's try installing x11-xserver-utils package [06:08] recovery mode? [06:08] ndiswrapper's web-site is incredibly difficult to navigate, is there an installation tutorial there? (the INSTALL text in this ndiswrapper tarball just says go to the web-site for build instructions, but then the site just re-directs me to the homepage and I can't find anything from there) [06:08] harisund: when I ran grandr, though, the rotation options were disabled [06:09] donnybrasco, that's probably because the rotation was disabled .. you need to enable rotation in xorg.conf [06:09] tonyyarusso: there isn't anything more user-friendly than parted? [06:09] harisund, I think I am just going to leave it uninstalled... [06:09] donnybrasco, you need to add the line ---> Option "RandRRotation" "true"<-- to the Display section in your xorg.conf [06:10] agliodbs: Well, you could probably use the other tool anyway, but I'm not sure what that error means, so doing what it says is probably safest. [06:10] prappl93, I just searched for all packages that have pilot as a part of them, and there seem to be 3 packages gnome-pilot, gnome-pilot-conduits and libgone-pilot2 .. maybe you could try purging all 3 of them first [06:10] prappl93, actually that seems like a bad idea .. are you running evolution? [06:11] tonyyarusso: yeah, I'm just looking for a shortcut for "use the whole disk" [06:11] Not right now [06:11] which parted doesn't appear to have [06:11] It said it couldn't find libgone-pilot2 [06:11] donnybrasco, did you get what I was talking about, the line in xorg.conf? That line must be there for rotation [06:11] prappl93, libgome-pilot2 .. it seems to have some dependencies with evolution [06:12] Oh [06:12] So, if I remove that then reinstall it it should be okay though right? [06:12] Or would I have to redo my Evolution all together? === sterlin_ is now known as sterlin [06:13] Why would mouse plugged through an usb hub (monitor) refuse to work after being unplugged for a day along with the keyboard plugged to the same hub? Xorg.0.log does list proper-looking detection when plugging it in. Works if plugged in through any other usb port. [06:13] Just installed ubuntu. Wonders if there is a way to force xorg-server to rely upon manually configured xorg.con [06:13] harisund: I was just checking on the X11-xserver-utils ... it's already installed [06:13] ^ xorg.conf [06:13] x11-xserver-utils is already installed then xrandr should be installed since xrandr is a part of that package donnybrasco ... .. your /usr/bin doesn't have a xrandr in it? [06:14] prappl93, when you remove the packages it will give you a list of what else it is removing [06:14] prappl93, make a list of all that and reinstalll everything that was removed [06:14] like, particularly, how do I guess the number for END for mkpartfs? [06:14] harisund, that will remove all of evolution... so, okay [06:15] when should someone use canonical's paid support? [06:15] agliodbs: Usually there's something that tells you the total number somewhere... [06:15] I think it removes the packages evolution, evolution-plugins, evolution-exchange, evolution-indicator so you should be able to add those back and be on the safe side [06:15] I can't find anything [06:15] Argh!! trying to make this ndiswrapper package, "*** CFLAGS was changed in " [06:15] Argh [06:15] I know this is about a 500G drive [06:15] What's this error telling me? [06:15] but how do I figure out the exact size? [06:16] Hi! So, I'm manually configuring my IP. How do I know what's my prefix?? [06:16] donnybrasco, could you find xrandr in your /usr/bin? [06:16] harisund: yes xrandr is in /usr/bin [06:16] * cybic is still looking for a hint, where to configurate my trackpoint on hp nc6400 [06:16] lizzzy: prefix? [06:17] donnybrasco, ok that's a start .. now rotation is done through xrandr, that much I know. Have you enabled that line in xorg.conf Option "RandRRotation" "true" [06:17] Yeah, in manual config. it asks for my address, then prefix and then gateway. Is the prefix 255.255.255.0 by any chance? But it doesn't seem to accept that. [06:17] Anybody who feels he is good at virtualization, help me to choose: xen or kvm? I only want it to use as a portable server workspace for my web development enviroment. [06:17] is there a way to set up vnc to allow me to turn on and/or login to my computer? [06:18] Mmm [06:18] vadviktor: KVM. [06:18] lizzzy: the proper name for that is "netmask"... and it depends on the IP you're setting... [06:18] harisund: I don't have a 'Display' section - only two 'Montitor' sections [06:18] lizzzy: what are you editing? [06:18] vadviktor: If have the hardware support, there's no reason to not prefer KVM over Xen. [06:18] lizzzy: but for a regular "local network" it does tend to be 255.255.255.0 [06:18] Not 'display' sorry I think it should be "device" [06:19] harisund, I will see if purging all that then reinstalling worked [06:19] anyone? surely there must be some way to check the capacity of a raw device [06:19] prappl93, allright we can try that for a start [06:19] *** CFLAGS was changed in "/home/chu/Downloads/AR928X/ndiswrapper-1.2/driver/Makefile". Fix it to use EXTRA_CFLAGS. Stop. [06:19] Whoops, anyway, what does that error say? [06:19] Wireless --> edit network connections --> IP address --> Method: Manual [06:19] Debolaz: I actually do not have AMD-V on every machine I wish to use it on, and I would like to choose a free virtualization where I can run a 64bit ubuntu guest with 2 or more cores [06:20] harisund: here's my xorg.conf file ... http://paste.ubuntu.com/283515/ [06:20] agliodbs: run "sudo fdisk -l" among its output you'll find the total capacity of the physical disk === jerald is now known as prappl93 [06:20] donnybrasco, one sec [06:20] No such luch, HardDisk [06:20] harisund, [06:20] vadviktor: Lack of hardware support excludes KVM as an alternative. [06:20] Here, I'm trying to manually set my IP. I know what's a netmask. But it didn't ask for my netmask, rather a prefix! [06:20] I have to go to bed, I have school tomorrow, so if you have a link or series of links to possible solutions, I wouldn't mind you to send me them [06:20] Or you could e-mail them to me [06:21] Debolaz: :( and is Xen as good as KVM if it comes to easy install and maintenance? [06:21] vadviktor: No, Xen is considerably more complex. [06:21] prappl93, all right good luck and sorry man [06:21] donnybrasco, one sec [06:21] vadviktor: However, it is well documented. [06:21] lizzzy: this is in the networkmanager applet? [06:21] yup [06:22] Debolaz: should I install it from ubuntu repo or shall I choose to compile it from source as it is more up-to-date? [06:22] network mgmt --> wireless --> edit netwk connections [06:22] draft [06:23] donnybrasco, do you see the line Option "NoLogo" "True" [06:23] vadviktor: Ubuntu dropped host (Technically dom0) support for Xen in releases after hardy, fyi. [06:23] harisund: yes [06:23] Right underneath that add a line that says --> Option "RandRRotation" "True" [06:23] The same way as the previous line is [06:23] harisund: ok [06:24] okiez hi all ......... i messed up something and i don't see firefox in update-alternatives .... how do i bring it back to get firefox opened for the command x-www-browser ? === jerald is now known as prappl93 [06:24] vadviktor: If end up going with Xen, you want this book btw: http://runningxen.com/ [06:24] So you have an identifier line, you have a driver line, and you have 2 Option lines .. get what I am saying? [06:24] lizzzy: aha, in that case... read this: http://www.gadgetwiz.com/network/netmask.html [06:24] yep [06:25] Anyone know of any D&D character sheet software that works in linux? [06:25] Debolaz: then I guess it's up to me to compile it [06:25] harisund: saved it - gonna try restarting xserver - brb [06:25] Under windows I've used "HeroForge", but their code isn't OO.o compatible [06:25] http://paste.ubuntu.com/283519/ [06:25] donnybrasco, one sec [06:25] k [06:25] You need to add that to both lines [06:25] Thanks muchly nanotube :) [06:25] lizzzy: for the standard class-c 255.255.255.0, try prefix 24 [06:25] donnybrasco, look at the one I put [06:25] seems to work, thanks [06:25] lizzzy: no prob :) [06:25] Kewl! [06:25] Debolaz: thank you for your kind information! [06:25] feh [06:25] agliodbs: ? [06:26] vadviktor: Np. [06:26] since when did 477MB == 500GB? [06:26] agliodbs: probably its 477GB == 500GiB :) [06:26] yeah [06:26] chu_: it says you're trying to do something that could be done simpler, I guess... [06:26] cheaters [06:27] agliodbs: and it's since hard drive manufacturers decided that they'll count 1000 bytes per megabyte instead of 1024. [06:27] agliodbs: the martetroid who came up with that one ought to be stuffed. [06:27] y is that? [06:27] agliodbs: *marketroid [06:27] * DigitalKiwi thinks it is ingenious [06:27] anyway, when I get this thing formatted ext2, will it automount? [06:27] harisund: how's this? http://paste.ubuntu.com/283520/ [06:28] agliodbs: ehrm... if you stick it into your fstab, it will :) [06:28] ah [06:28] why are you making a 500GB drive ext2? [06:28] hmmmph [06:28] DigitalKiwi: parted doesn't support ext3? [06:28] donnybrasco, if I am not mistaken the t in True should be capitalized, since it is capitalized in the line above [06:28] wut [06:28] and donnybrasco you might also need to add it in the second device section, under BoardName "GeForce Go 6150" [06:29] i hope you don't intend to keep it ext2 [06:29] hi folks i'm looking for a good sound editer... something that can easily remove voice... [06:29] agliodbs, ext3 is ext2 with journal, look for a -j option or something :-) [06:29] hi bruenig [06:29] any ideas? [06:29] harisund: ok - will do [06:29] greet [06:29] murlidhar: You can use --set [06:29] agliodbs: see here: http://www.gadgetwiz.com/network/netmask.html [06:29] how do I get back to regular user after going to root from a shell [06:29] agliodbs: wrong link [06:29] agliodbs: i mean here: http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-3-Manual/sysadmin-guide/s1-parted-create-part.html [06:29] Nitrodist, type exit [06:29] feh, time for bed [06:30] agliodbs: in other words... use mkpart to make ext3 partitions [06:30] agliodbs: same here... dunno wtf i'm still doing here [06:30] Flannel: err u mean sudo update-alternatives --set /usr/bin/firefox-3.0 ? [06:30] thx harisund [06:30] nanotube: thanks, man pages are out of date [06:30] Flannel: :) [06:30] nanotube: anyway, bed and will restart this in the am [06:30] murlidhar: --set x-www-browser /path/to/whaever [06:31] harisund: http://paste.ubuntu.com/283523/ [06:31] agliodbs: sweet dreams [06:31] Flannel: ah okies thanks :) [06:31] harisund: how's that look? [06:31] donnybrasco, yeah seems better. Try restart X all together and see if grandr allows anything? [06:32] What'd be a good bluetooth remote software to operate media player on linux using a symbian device? [06:32] ok - brb === dragon1 is now known as dragon [06:32] Flannel: update-alternatives: Cannot find alternative `/usr/bin/firefox'. [06:33] nanotube: No Implementation: Support for creating ext3 file systems is not implemented yet.

[06:33] Flannel: the path is absolutely correct [06:34] murlidhar: Oh, sorry, it's --install, and there's some other stuff you set (it's self explanatory, check the man page) [06:34] There s nothing more tedious than Wireless in Linux; is there? [06:34] agliodbs: hrm.... [06:34] "my school/work wants me to be productive (shame on them) please help me bypass this" [06:34] xoveruk: try shellium.org, maybe... [06:34] Flannel: i tried that too [06:34] agliodbs: well, if you're not tied to the cli, i know that gparted can easily to ext3 [06:34] chu_ yeah Wireless in Windows :D But if you are talking about Linux, I would say graphics in Linux or media playback in Linux both of which can get to be hard [06:35] chu_: buy intel, it just works (tm) [06:35] harisund: still no rotation options in grandr [06:35] nanotube: yeah, this is a headless machine and currently has no X on it [06:35] nanotube: I'd like to keep it that way [06:36] donnybrasco, I found http://ut2004.titaninternet.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=17533 this link that explains that you have to use xinerama for dual head and xrandr for rotation [06:36] well, i'm off to bed... can try looking around tomorrow. [06:36] Let's try using xrandr on the command line .. one sec [06:36] agliodbs: well, i'm off to bed... can try looking around tomorrow. [06:36] Hopefully I will be back. [06:36] good idea [06:36] harisund: what do you think about adding that line under section "Montitor" identifier "Configured Monitor"? [06:37] how do I change the write permissions on a directory/ [06:37] donnybrasco, no you need to enable Rotation under the graphics card device. If you want, create a backup of the xorg.conf file and try it out. If something goes wrong, just go back to the back up [06:37] bah, nevermind I'll just look it up :P [06:37] Nitrodist, in the file manager, right-click on the directory, choose Permissions [06:37] Madpilot, need command line [06:38] man chmod [06:38] Nitrodist, chmod [06:38] chown or chmod -R depending on how you want to change permissions... [06:38] ya, what eminor said [06:38] donnybrasco, in the command line what is the output of xrandr -q ? Can you paste it somewhere? [06:38] what's -R do? recursive? [06:38] yes [06:38] but "man chown" is where to start [06:38] chown? I don't need clam chowder [06:38] man chmod, raither [06:38] or clowns [06:38] both are possibly correct >.> [06:39] Nitrodist, I think recursive yes [06:39] Oh noes! :( [06:39] indeed chu_ [06:39] I'm probably just going to give up shortly. [06:39] great news everyone! [06:40] harisund: nothing happens when xrandr -q entered [06:40] you just saved a bunch of money on car insurance by switching to geico? [06:40] You don't get any output at all ??? [06:41] harisund: correct [06:41] Flannel: made it thanks :) [06:41] You are running that when the xserver is running, right? [06:41] harisund: as when I just enter xrandr [06:41] harisund: yes === wahyu_ is now known as cew === cew is now known as cew______ [06:42] hmm that is really odd, xrandr tells you what monitors are connected if X is running, so if xrandr is telling you there are no monitors whatsoever then there seems to be another problem [06:42] harisund: you're asking me to run that from a command line, not the terminal, right? [06:43] How do you differentiate the two? [06:43] In any case, open up the terminal, what's it on KDE? Or just open xterm and type it in that [06:43] command line is alt+F2 [06:43] sorry I guess I must have made myself clearer [06:43] oh no no no [06:43] I meant terminal all along sorry sorry [06:44] is there a way to set up vnc to allow me to turn on and/or login to my computer? [06:44] There should be dedicated wireless specialists!!! [06:44] Brando753, VNC won't do that. VNC can onlly show you an already logged into machine [06:44] harisund: http://paste.ubuntu.com/283532/ [06:45] chu_: what's your problem? i haven't seen you ask any questions [06:45] harisund: so there is no whay to log into to a computer via vnc, my windows pc allows me to do that [06:45] chu_: do you have $54? [06:45] Brando753, if you are already logged into the machine you want to VNC into, you can do that just like in Windows [06:45] well, how should I ask it? pm me [06:46] hey, i'm in a big pickle... i think my hard disk may be failing. i'm in the middle of recovering things, and am trying to create a bootable USB drive, but can't run the usb-creator utility because my root fs has remounted in RO mode [06:46] donnybrasco, what are your individual screen resolutions?

Also see http://ubuntu.com/support and http://ubuntuforums.org [06:46] i can't get it to remount in rw mode, tried clearing the RO flag on the device using several commands including blockdev, etc [06:46] harisund: yeah - 1280x800 (primary, laptop) 1280x1024 (secondary lcd) [06:46] so i'm stuck right now with a RO root fs [06:47] i'm managed to back up all my important stuff to my NAS === ime_imuet is now known as cewek [06:47] donnybrasco, ah this gets interesting .. so basically your machine sees the 2 monitors as "1 BIG screen" instead of "2 screens" so that's the first problem we need to fix [06:47] how do i manually set up a usb flash drive to throw an ubuntu image on it? the tutorials i've found all deal with either windows programs or the ubuntu usb-creator utility which i can't run for some reason with a RO fs... [06:48] donnybrasco, in your terminal try typing "xrandr -o right" and see what happens? [06:48] nanotube: does it support SSH?

[06:53] there are none shipped with it, /lib/modules is empty… [06:53] f, i really hope i don't have a failing SCSI controller or something [06:53] harisund: that's right, I just saw someone else use "RandRRotation" "on" [06:54] hmm try that [06:54] so what do i have to do to make a usb stick bootable... partition it and set the boot flag? [06:54] do i need to put a bootloader on it? isolinux or something? [06:54] can i just throw the ubuntu iso on there? [06:54] donnybrasco, what is your depth set to? 24?

I wish I could help, but I am sure rotation is done by xrandr .. so you will have just to play around with the Option "RandRRotation" stuff in xorg.conf .. kind of like try various combinations and see if rotation works [06:59] gorkster: already tried that, won't do it [06:59] fogel_: yes, it is a package [06:59] * cybic is still looking for a hint, where to configurate my trackpoint on hp nc6400, ubuntu 9.04# [06:59] gorkster: it also doesn't seem to respond to resetting the flags on the block device itself [06:59] fogel_: in the future, if you don't know if something is a package, use aptitude show name-of-thing [06:59] this laptop is less than a year old... maybe i should just ask lenovo to send me a new hard disk [06:59] fogel_: like aptitude show ebox [06:59] harisund: no worries - thanks very much for all your help [07:00] I think that last link I sent you looks promising [07:00] mgmuscari: have heard of several lenovos with crashed disks. it's a common problem [07:00] i really hope that this just has to do with changing some partitions the other day [07:00] thanks lstarnes!! [07:00] There's all this refernce to having a wireless driver available in Hardware Drivers, if I don't see this wireless driver, what are possible reasons?? [07:00] dragon: yeah, this just seems so sudden. no errors for 10 months, and then in one day epic crash [07:00] mgmuscari: i would say that the disk is suspect, but if you were messing with partitions that could be it too [07:01] dragon: i've been messing with my partitions for the past few days, i suspect it's related [07:01] i really feel like a newbie when i get support from this channel!! but always works! :D [07:01] gorkster: yeah... i treat this thing with kid gloves, i don't know why it would be the disk [07:01] no noises or anything [07:01] i also saw block device errors booting from an ubuntu live cd [07:01] Hello! [07:02] i looked up that error though, it it appeared to be a scsi driver related - [07:02] oh [07:02] jesus [07:02] Anybody? |-: [07:02] i changed my sata mode in my bios to compatibility mode yesterday [07:02] to get my DSL partition to boot [07:02] How secure is Ubuntu One?

Hence why I’m in here [07:24] BB_: I experienced some packet loss when pinging security.ubuntu.com -- Just a thought [07:24] !aptfix | BB_ [07:24] BB_: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » [07:25] BB_: the latter error is because update-manager has locked the apt db [07:25] BB_: the first error depends on your local DNS resolver configuration [07:26] elliottcable: If you know what modules you need to use, you can add them manually. There always are something that got overlooked.

[07:44] yes [07:44] 2.6.28-15 [07:44] there's a problem in 2.6.28-2.6.30 with userspace swap/paging... it delays stuff unnecessarily long when your ram is full [07:45] 4gb ram here... [07:45] (that problem gets fixed in 2.6.31( [07:45] ooo hehe [07:45] guess you shouldn't see it :P [07:45] again i'm betting it's my wonky partition table [07:45] full ram. wow crazy [07:45] mgmuscari1: You're a big baller running 4GB ram. :) [07:45] and/or filesystems [07:45] lol [07:45] hello there good people of ubuntu [07:45] hola [07:46] leaf-sheep: well that doesn't mean jack if my filesystems keep crashing like this... [07:46] I have shot myself in the foot... need medic [07:46] it's a thinkpad w500 and this disk shouldn't have anything wrong with it :/ [07:46] !ask | didar [07:46] didar: 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. :-) [07:46] didar: Then why are you in here asking for linux support when you should go to hospital to get your foot treated? [07:47] ok, ActionParsnip just give the output of `groups' [07:47] mgmuscari1: firefox a lot of times can depend on your firefox plugins... those can be pretty intensive sometimes; if you want smoother (for the time being until they fix those issues), consider opera.. i've heard nothing but good news [07:47] leaf-sheep, that was a metaphor [07:47] ninjaII: at the moment i'm logged in as root, so there are no plugins :p [07:47] mgmuscari1: you can also try changing the amound of memory that firefox uses to cache content [07:47] my /home is long-gone... [07:48] didar: I know. ;3 [07:48] i'm lucky that i can still mostly read / and /usr [07:48] I need the output of `groups' from an xterm/gnome-terminal [07:48] leaf-sheep, could you help me out here [07:48] what do you mean you need the output [07:49] didar: We don't even know your problem yet! [07:49] !ask | didar [07:49] didar: 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. :-) [07:49] If intel's graphics drivers for linux are open source, shouldn't there be a way to overclock them? I found something that claims to work for any OS, but it's nagware & doesn't work for 64 bit. Anybody know of anything? [07:49] beware, we're all fairly pedantic people in here [07:49] leaf-sheep, I have botched the default group memberships of my primary account [07:49] alazyworkaholic: why would OSS imply overclocking? [07:50] leaf-sheep, that is the user that gets created during installaiotn [07:50] I installed the ati catalyst center via the synaptic package manager gui, and now when i boot, i get a mass of crazy nonsense. I started up in recovery mode and went to termie, I'd appreciate help in what commands i need to type to remove that package [07:50] didar, try these groups: didar adm dialout cdrom audio video plugdev lpadmin netdev admin [07:50] alazyworkaholic: if the card has dynamic clocking or dynamic voltage via software control (as in, built and made accessible to the software by the hardware)... then software can overclock it or underclock it - provided that such software is written that way [07:50] i also have sambashare and tomcat6 but you probably don't need those... [07:51] didar: Make a new user -- Record the default group memberships. Each user have various groups according to packages they installed so I'm refraining myself from giving you mine -- because I have many groups. ;o [07:51] mgmuscari1, thats what I was looking for, thanks a ton [07:51] didar: some of those might not apply, but i guess it doesn't hurt to have extra groups... [07:51] mgmuscari1: Not certain, I'm not a developer. I imagine that if the good people who make the driver have all the info necessary to make it work correctly, they ought to be able to flip whatever switch would overclock it. [07:51] hello [07:51] hi all. are there any guides for using an ubuntu liveCD to recover files from a crashed ntfs filesystem? [07:51] i've got a file on my desktop that i can't see in nautilus and can't sudo rm. any ideas? [07:51] !recovery | ndlovu [07:51] ndlovu: To rescue a broken system, boot the alternate install CD and select "Rescue a broken system" [07:52] ndlovu: Err. That is not it. [07:52] alazyworkaholic: just because the driver is OSS doesn't mean they have the info necessary to do it. case in point: OSS ati driver developers trying to get info from ati... [07:52] leaf-sheep, good idea that too, thanks [07:52] i am installing gnom-ppp its give an error package not find ! [07:52] leaf-sheep, thanks, but the system that needs to be recovered is windows :) [07:52] <_ruben> !info gnome-ppp [07:52] gnome-ppp (source: gnome-ppp): modem internet connection tool for the GNOME Desktop. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.3.23-1 (jaunty), package size 82 kB, installed size 600 kB [07:53] ndlovu you need to have the ntfs drivers loaded, and then you need to mount the ntfs filesystem [07:53] !undelete | ndlovu [07:53] ndlovu: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel [07:53] ndlovu: i'd probably mount it in read only mode if i were you [07:53] i am installing gnom-ppp its give an error package not find ! [07:53] mgmuscari1, gparted says filesystem is unknown... [07:53] i am using ubuntu 7.10 [07:54] googler: It is a typo and Ubuntu 7.10 is no longer supported. [07:54] mgmuscari1, so I'm not sure that it would mount? [07:54] Nothing at all. [07:54] ndlovu: then you don't have the ntfs driver installed... i don't recall the package name, but i can't really look it up for you right now as i'm dealing with borked ext3/ext4 filesystems at the moment... [07:54] <_ruben> googler: 7.10 is no longer supported [07:54] !7.10 [07:54] !gutsy | googler [07:54] Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) was the seventh release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: April 18th, 2009. See !eol and !upgrade for more details. [07:54] :( [07:54] googler: please see above [07:54] is there a way to output what packages are installed? [07:54] mgmuscari1, thanks for the suggestion, and I feel your pain [07:54] dpkg -l i think? [07:54] navysealltblue: dpkg -l | less [07:54] ohh no [07:54] :( [07:54] If I didn't have ndiswrapper installed, what would Ubuntu be using to manage a wireless network? [07:54] bad luck [07:55] thanks mgmuscari1 and actionparsnip1 [07:55] ActionParsnip1: i disagree. i think it's dpkg | more [07:55] ninjall: not sure if it would have dynamic clocking or not. I get this from lshw: product: product: Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller. Clock 33MHz. [07:55] googler: We're at 9.04 right now. 9.10 in a month. :) [07:55] brb [07:55] hi! I have a list of blocked update in my update manager, and they have now been there for 2 weeks .... [07:55] googler: Why are you behind? Catch up with us! [07:55] :( but i don't have so much bandwoth to download it [07:55] what are those blocked updates [07:55] I hope Karmic supports my f&^%ing wireless card.... [07:55] ? [07:56] chu_: ndiswrapper? [07:56] *bandwith [07:56] mgmuscari1: huh. Okay, I thought Intel was quite open about their stuff. I read that even the ati people were satisfied with the docs, they just didn't have enough people to write the driver. [07:56] If I didn't have ndiswrapper installed, what would Ubuntu be using to manage a wireless network? [07:56] sorry for typo [07:56] chu_, you have a wireless card that can f&^%? You'll never have to buy another - it can just breed the next generation of card for you! :) [07:56] i don't have so much banwith to download 9.10 [07:56] alazyworkaholic: i got bored waiting for dri2 support on my ati card a long time ago and stopped paying attention [07:56] :(( [07:56] bad luck [07:57] chu_: if there is no driver for your card then ndiswrapper is needed [07:57] iwconfig --f&^%? [07:57] ok [07:57] googler: You could request for Ubuntu CD. [07:57] ninjall: so as far as you know there's no way to overclock an intel gma? [07:57] how ? [07:57] i have to disappear to put this thing on my NAS and make a live usb stick now... [07:57] thanks all [07:57] googler, just after 9.10 is released, free CDs will be available - shipit.ubuntu.com [07:57] back later, maybe... [07:57] !shipit | googler [07:57] googler: shipit is a service that sends free Ubuntu and Kubuntu CDs. See http://shipit.ubuntu.com/ and http://shipit.kubuntu.org - Shipit will send Jaunty (9.04) CDs [07:57] Apparantly the ath5k package is supplied with Ubuntu by default since Jaunty, which is the driver my card needs. [07:57] :D [07:58] googler: Wait until next month? Karmic comes out in a month. :) [07:58] hmmm, is this still working? !test [07:58] mgmuscari1: I have a 4670 w/ catalyst. Doesn't give me any problems, but phoronix tells me oss 2d is way faster. [07:58] :D hip hip hurray :: [07:59] <_ruben> you wont be able to upgrade from 7.10 to 9.10 directly though, either reinstall or upgrade 7.10 -> 8.04 -> 8.10 -> 9.04 -> 9.10 [07:59] So like, what are other available solutions? [07:59] I tried looking at madwifi, but perhaps that was just a bad choice. [07:59] chu_: could compile the latest driver, see if its better [08:00] chu_: madwifi is great if your chip is supported by it [08:00] I have tried, perhaps I just don't know how though... [08:00] _ruben: that's ridiculously stupid...this is why i can't live with anything but rolling release [08:01] anyone able to tell me what packages are installed for the ati catalyst control center? I scrolled through the list of packages down to the end of the libs and am gonna go crazy :P [08:01] I started trying to compile my own driver for ndiswrapper, but I couldn't get passed the make process (i.e. wouldn't let me make) and there was nothing as far as what I could do. [08:01] trying ntfsmount /dev/sda1 /media/win but it gives "Couldn't mount device '/dev/sda1' : Invalid argument" GParted can see /dev/sda1 though... any ideas? [08:01] chu_: http://ubuntumanual.org/posts/185/install-atheros-ar242x-802-11abg-wireless-driver-in-ubuntu [08:02] <_ruben> DigitalKiwi: the same applies to most operating systems i am aware of [08:02] chu_: can you tab complete my name at the start of sentances, the highlighting I am doing for the text I am addressing to you isnt an accident [08:02] ActionParsnip1: thanks man, just reading this tutorial now. [08:03] chu_: np man, it says for a specific chip but madwifi is madwifi [08:03] _ruben: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolling_release [08:04] leaf-sheep, thanks for the undelete advice, there's some good stuff there [08:04] ndlovu: No problem. Good Luck! :3 [08:05] DigitalKiwi: _ruben: http://nixos.org/ talking about rolling release [08:06] ActionParsnip1: you legend, it's working! [08:06] * DigitalKiwi has pacman not sure i need that ;p looks interesting though [08:06] ActionParsnip1: I spent so long today looking for solutions... Thanks heaps for your 5 minutes :p [08:07] Hello, i need help! [08:07] DigitalKiwi: :) .... I was just suggesting to look at it because it looks interesting .... what is pacman btw? [08:07] I have this error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/283583/ [08:07] package manager developed by/for arch linux [08:08] Ok, reboot time. [08:08] Thanks again ActionParsnip1. [08:08] DigitalKiwi: are you using arch? [08:09] deli linux uses it as well as a few others, and frugalware forked it, and yes i am [08:09] what virtual machine do you guys use to run windows? vmware? or is there something better now [08:09] virtualbox [08:09] inspiron630: there is no better or best [08:09] DigitalKiwi: it is supposed to be quite performant .... how does it compare to ubuntu? [08:09] hi anyone tried installing vdr on ubuntu? [08:10] inspiron630: each has advantages and disadvantages, so neither is outright better [08:10] inspiron630: depends what do you want to do really [08:10] inspiron630: try a few solutions, see which provides what you need and use that one [08:10] inspiron630: what do you want to do? [08:11] hallelujah! [08:11] ct529: they serve different userbases, it performs very well though [08:11] i want to have a simulation as close to the real thing as possible. since i will be doing programming, assembly, etc... [08:11] DigitalKiwi: what do you mean? what are the userbases for the two of thme? [08:11] and maybe a game here and there [08:12] inspiron630: they both do that, qemu has raw cpu access rather than a virtualised cpu [08:12] inspiron630: yes, but you have to explain what would your setup be .... [08:12] Absolutely no change. [08:12] inspiron630: not sure about 3d games, 2d games run fine [08:12] Still nothing under Hardware Drivers. [08:12] chu_: you wont, madwifi IS the driver [08:12] inspiron630: are you starting a ubuntu desktop with gnome and you want to run a virtual machine on a window whilst running linux software? or do you want a different setup? [08:13] i'm running kubuntu and will want to emulate xp, vista and windows 7 [08:13] inspiron630: bit expensive [08:14] I called Empathy > Help > Debug. A window "Debug Window" opened. The mouse cursor changed to a vertical arrow pointing to a horizontal area. I can move the cursor. Clicking it on any button does not have an effect. Ctrl+Alt+F1 does not call a virtual console. Is Alt+PrtSc+K the only way out? [08:14] thats a lot of licenses [08:14] ct529: well ubuntu is targeted at people who want stuff preconfigured and any level of linux experience, arch is targeted at people with more experience not afraid of configuring stuff, neither is inherently good or bad, it just depends on what you want [08:14] free for me, academic alliance [08:14] my network manager is not saving manual configuration [08:14] inspiron630: nice [08:14] DigitalKiwi: only talking about pure performances here [08:14] :) [08:14] inspiron630: vista and 7, strange [08:15] whats? http://paste.ubuntu.com/283583/ [08:15] inspiron630: in a window on your desktop? [08:15] ActionParsnip: What do you mean? madwifi is the driver? [08:15] diieggo: have you installed video driverss? [08:15] So, I won't see it under Hardware Drivers? [08:15] I have a separate X screen setup with nvidia 7600gt card. I don't want my mouse to leave the screen unless I press some specific key(-combination), is this possible? [08:15] chu_: madwifi is a driver pack [08:16] ActionParsnip1 no, i first on ubuntu [08:16] pure performance arch probably is better... [08:16] chu_: you will need to sudo rmmod ndiswrapper then probe in the driver you just made [08:16] can anyone help me with my network manager? [08:16] Ahahaha [08:16] diieggo: looks like thay are needed [08:16] Legend :p [08:16] How do I know what driver I just made? [08:16] I guess sudo rmmod will remove all the ndis modules? [08:16] chu_: check the guide I gave you again [08:17] Yeah, sorry, rebooted.. Have you still got a link? [08:17] chu_: yes but they will load next boot, so if all this works you will need to make the system changes to not load ndiswrapper and load the one you just create [08:17] guys, I need to know why are those updates blocked .... they have been blocked for 2 weeks now .... it drives me insane! [08:17] Yeah, I just added ndiswrapper to modprobe.d's blacklist? [08:17] ActionParsnip1, will that be enough? [08:18] am I using an invisible font? [08:18] chu_: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-get-atheros-ar5007eg-or-ar242x-wireless-cards-may-be-other-models-working-in-ubuntu-810-intrepid-ibex.html [08:18] ActionParsnip1: my driver video is Via/S3G Unichrome IGP.. i need install the driver... [08:18] chu_: should be [08:18] diieggo: then run: lspci | grep -i vga [08:18] Cheers man, really are great help. [08:18] diieggo: and websearch for that [08:18] Are there any security.ubuntu.com repo mirrors? [08:19] damn i guess i am invisible [08:19] any reason why gutsy packages aren't listed on packages.ubuntu.com? beyond supported age? [08:19] ActionParsnip1 thanks [08:19] ndlovu: gutsy is no longer supported [08:19] i'll go dig an invisible hole and bury myself in it [08:19] Reboot time again. [08:19] Be back shortly. [08:20] kruykaze, I answered your question in #ubuntu+1 [08:20] Can anyone help? I have strange graphics performance on Ubuntu Jaunty with integrated Intel 82945G graphics. The results of "grep Driver /var/log/Xorg.0.log" show that I'm using the i810 driver. Is this the wrong driver? Also, Karmic Alpha 6 locks up immediately on getting to the desktop. [08:20] MightyTweek, oh ok [08:21] MightyTweek, i did that but it doesn't keep the settings [08:22] are the gutsy packages still available?

[08:24] ndlovu: Change that in your sources.list -- to point the right direction. [08:24] leaf-sheep, ah, that might help, thanks [08:25] MightyTweek, interface eth0 not configured [08:25] diieggo: a default install of ubuntu comes with chrome drivers [08:26] I have a question, regarding my internet connection. I installed ubuntu server 9.04 and have trouble connecting to the internet. I already checked my ip which seems to be fine (192.168.0.185) but I cannot ping the router or other machines on the network. I also cant ping google (or use apt-get for that matter). Does anyone have any ideas, or could point me in the right direction? [08:26] kruykaze, is your network adapter at eth0 or a different device? YOu might need to do a "sudo ifconfig" to find out [08:26] hnb: did you also set the default gateway? [08:27] eth0 [08:27] i also have lo [08:27] how do i do that? [08:27] hnb: its in the same place you set your ip: /etc/network/interfaces [08:27] MightyTweek, eth0 when i do ifconfig [08:27] leaf-sheep, it seems that only the CD images are there... have all gutsy repositories been removed? [08:28] ActionParsnip1: (i used dhcp for the ip) [08:28] hnb: ok then run: route to show the routes, do you have the default gateway set? [08:28] MightyTweek, i also noticed that it does not ask for root password to change the settings === fahadsadah is now known as Guest60614 [08:29] ActionParsnip1: in the file you mentioned it says: auto etho0 and iface eth0 inet dhcp === dr0ppy is now known as dr0pknutz [08:29] hnb: cool, that means its using dhcp [08:29] kruykaze, which file are you editing? [08:29] hnb: if you run the route command is your routers IP the default address? [08:30] I called Empathy > Help > Debug. A window "Debug Window" opened. The mouse cursor changed to a vertical arrow pointing to a horizontal area. I can move the cursor. Clicking it on any button does not have an effect. Ctrl+Alt+F1 does not call a virtual console. Is Alt+PrtSc+K the only way out? [08:30] no i think it is not [08:30] MightyTweek, interfaces [08:30] ow wait it is [08:30] bullgard4: log a bug [08:30] ugh... forums: "Sorry to say, but 7.10 has reached it's end of life.

[08:37] moin [08:37] Hi all, kind of out of topic for this forum, but I lack another idea. I've got a Comtrend CT-5624 ADSL+ Router from my ISP (Evil Verizon on Misawa AB so I can't select another). They provide normal user stuff, but not HTTP/FTP/SSH for us geeks. Any ideas on how to route my sites through this device? (http://www.openlug.com for example) [08:37] root__, can't recall what it stands for, something Transfer Something - check your camera's manual for it's transfer settings. [08:37] MightyTweek, i just changed to http://pastebin.org/32521 and did not reboot yet [08:38] hnb: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/299540 [08:38] Argh, so when do my wireless drivers appear in Hardware Drivers? [08:38] bullgard4, you might need to alt-sysrq-k then [08:38] Right now if you attempt my site you get the router's login request. I've only got a guest user login, so I can't change port forwarding etc .. [08:38] ndlovu, got family in RSA, whole universities down there have less bandwidth than households here in Canada! [08:38] hnb: try setting the metric to 0, se if it gets used [08:38] ndlovu: lol @ birdseed must not have any performance enhancing seeds within [08:39] @Madpilot ok [08:39] NineTeen67Comet: are they blocking port 80? [08:40] kruykaze, your interfaces file doesn't reference eth0 at all, just wlan0. is it your wireless connection you're trying to set up or the wired one? [08:40] yup, it's pretty ugly over here. anybody got a pigeon they'd be willing to strap a 9.04 data card to? [08:40] NineTeen67Comet: if so, choose a higher port, or get a real web host [08:40] c.efnet.net [08:40] Boohbah, they said (a guy I know that knows their tech support) said they stealth the ports .. === mikebeecham is now known as mb1 [08:40] Is there any way to specify or export an Xserver ip addres in ubuntu permanently [08:40] MightyTweek, wired i'm using wireless now [08:40] ActionParsnip1: im trying to figure out how [08:41] Boohbah: My ps3, torrents etc all work okay, I just can't ssh, ftp/http to my servers .. [08:41] MightyTweek, should i replace wlan with eth0? [08:41] ActionParsnip1: hey man my driver graphics don't have for linux .-. === Administrator_ is now known as Hardikar [08:42] the PS3 would only need to make outgoing connections and torrents would be slightly degraded but still functional ... [08:42] NineTeen67Comet: yup, you can setting your web server to listen on a random high port and see if it makes a difference, otherwise there is no good way to run a server on that network as they are blocking incoming connections [08:42] NineTeen67Comet: if you don't have admin privileges there isn't much you can do short taking the risk to open the thing up ... [08:43] hnb: looks like you just add it below the iface inet eth0 dhcp line [08:43] Boohbah: yeah, I tried setting webmin up to the default 10,000 .. din' work either .. lol [08:43] I tried playing a song and I get this error: "Both audiosink and alsasink elements are missing"? [08:43] hnb: just put: metric 0 [08:43] hnb: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/jaunty/man5/interfaces.5.html [08:43] Yeah thinkin' I might try a hard reset and hope the DSL settings don't change and break it .. lol [08:43] diieggo: damn [08:43] NineTeen67Comet: i would suggest looking at a cheap VPS hosting provider to run your servers then [08:43] kruykaze, yes, if you want to configure eth0, your interfaces file needs to reference that device [08:43] MightyTweek, and reboot? [08:43] thanks Khisanth and Boohbah .. I'll hammer their customer support a little more; see if I can't get a little more tech savy guy on the line .. [08:43] diieggo: keep diging omething may turn up. You may have to edit xorg.conf but it can be done [08:44] NineTeen67Comet: good luck getting ahold of an actual network administrator :) [08:44] Boohbah: yeah, I've been looking into clouds too .. just don't like paying monthly for something I can do for free yah know .. [08:44] lol [08:44] yeah [08:44] g'night [08:44] kruykaze, I think an ifdown eth0 and ifup eth0 should suffice [08:45] MightyTweek, eth0 not configured so i'll reboot and be back [08:45] diieggo: if you websearch the exact output of the command I gave then you may have more luck [08:46] Do I have to install some missing audio plugins? -------> "Both audiosink and alsasink elements are missing"? [08:47] downloading... estimated download time 4:22:00 [08:47] ActionParsnip1: it didnt help. I now have metric 0, but still cant ping the default gateway (i get Host unreachable) [08:47] Hi..I just installed xchat, and it doesn't list the number of users on the right.. [08:47] hi everyone [08:47] instead, just states the number of users on the left [08:47] rather than listing them [08:47] i see nothing in configuration to change this behavior [08:48] lizzzy, what program are you using? and what kind of file are you trying to play? Does it play other files okay? [08:48] hello! [08:48] how can I obtain tabbed browsing feature in GNOME? [08:48] and good evening as well! i'm having some troubles, wondering if anyone could help out?! [08:49] hnb: all i can think is reboot reouter and reboot system [08:49] ducanh: For Nautilus? CTRL + T [08:49] ActionParsnip1: whats problem Unichrome Graphics? [08:49] @leaf-sheep: No, for the file manager [08:49] ActionParsnip1: ok, thanks. its a very strange problem [08:49] YungRipp: In XChat, View --> User List [08:49] MightyTweek: No, Amarok is crashing, saying that the default hda intel device failed! So, I played a regular mp3 file using songbird. I googled and it seems it's not a player-specific issue. [08:49] @Madpilot I could not find any such settings . But I could make the camera work with windows XP doesn`t that mean the necessary settings are proper?? [08:49] I love linux... how do I install the desktop environment on my server only ubuntu? [08:49] ducanh: Nautilus is the name for the file manager. ;3 [08:50] Ah, so my version doesn't seem to have that option.. [08:50] YungRipp: What package? [08:50] I installed via add/remove [08:50] paprna_, sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop [08:50] XChat-GNOME 0.26.1 [08:50] is the version i am using [08:50] and while I'm at it, what do people recommend for window manager? [08:50] ahhh [08:50] @leaf-sheep: oh, ok :D, thanks [08:50] Discussion->Users [08:50] !ask | johnnym3 [08:50] bleh [08:50] johnnym3: 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. :-) [08:50] YungRipp: XChat-GNOME is not same as XChat. Remove XChat-GNOME and install XChat. They're different thing but XChat is far better. :) [08:50] KDE or GNOME? [08:51] OK, shall do so [08:51] root__, no idea, sorry. My Canon has always 'just worked'. What happens if you go to F-Spot or gthumb and try "Import from Camera" after plugging it in? [08:51] paolob: neither kde or gnome are window managers [08:51] Hi guys! trying to upgrade to karmic: update-manager stops saying "Authentication failed [08:51] Authenticating the upgrade failed. There may be a problem with the network or with the server. " [08:51] papapepper: ^ [08:51] papapepper, that's a Holy War question. Whichever you like better, or hate least, is the only right answer :) [08:52] sorry paolob [08:52] papapepper, you are kinda approching this backwards. it's MUCH easier to install server services on a desktop ubuntu then the reverse that you're trying - installing desktop on server. Server is designed NOT to run with a GUI. But it could be a great learning tool to try ;) Good luck man. [08:52] lizzzy, was it amarok or songbird that was giving you the "both audiosync and alsasync" error? [08:52] papapepper: It is a flavor. Do you prefer Vanilla or Chocolate? They are essentially different but they get the job done same. It's up to user's likings. [08:52] @Madpilot as soon as i plug it in nothing happens I cannot access the camera [08:52] awesome wm is pretty cool [08:53] root__, so asking F-Spot or gthumb to import from camera doesn't work? [08:53] MightyTweek: songbird. [08:53] Is chocolate or vanilla any more easy to develop in or more widely supported by enterprise linuxes? [08:54] I have no sound on 9.04. 82801G and 2.6.28-15-generic [08:54] lizzzy, when did this start happening? did you make any recent changes to your system which might have caused the problem? [08:54] ZykoticK9: yeah, install kept crashing, so I just installed BASIC system [08:54] Any ideas? [08:54] not really a lot of server stuff installed, just command line base [08:54] Madpilot: I think I like that one best :-) [08:55] Sweet, that was easy [08:55] http://omploader.org/vMjgyag papapepper [08:56] is KDE or GNOME any more "free" license wise? [08:56] Aren't they both exactly GPL? [08:56] and what are they called? i know it's not window managers [08:56] papapepper, Both are free as in freedom. [08:56] papapepper: both are gpl licensed [08:56] well QT is lgpl isn't it? [08:56] papapepper, Desktop Environment. [08:56] Qt* [08:56] gnome is the gnu pet, right? [08:56] dual licensed even iirc === nephesh is now known as nephesh|sleep [08:57] gnu pet? [08:57] !away > nephesh|sleep [08:57] nephesh|sleep, please see my private message [08:57] Hello, I got a zombie process that keeps reappearing after restarting the computer (jaunty amd64 Gnome). I know there's probably not much to worry about I just want to know if there's anyway so see what is the parent process for that zombie...? [08:57] hi there [08:57] gnu pet project? [08:57] MightyTweek: I installed kubuntu-desktop and uninstalled ubuntu-desktop. It did play music all this time and I experienced these problems when i had ubuntu-desktop too(sometimes). [08:57] under gnu's wing? [08:57] @madpilot When i use F-spot there is no camera option to select from the "import source" [08:57] papapepper: both are DEs, you can run whatever window manager you like on them (Gnome uses metacity by default, kde usus kwin) [08:57] sound has stopped working on my 9.04 laptop, also not muted [08:57] :P [08:57] lizzzy: right on topic! [08:57] How do I make apparmor spam the logs less? aa-logprof just exits with zero exit code, without actually doing anything... [08:57] papapepper, It was originally started by the GNU project because KDS used to be non-free. [08:58] *KDE [08:58] ++ddddddd [08:58] lizzzy, so it's a sporadic issue? Have you tried booting from a live CD, and if so, does sound work there? [08:58] phantomcircuit: Try running in the terminal --> sudo alsactl init [08:58] root__, very odd. Have you tried googling your camera model and "Ubuntu" or just "linux" together? [08:58] leaf-sheep, seems you were right about the old-releases: all that needs to change is the URL in sources.list must be changed from archive. and security. to old-releases.ubuntu.com. I should listen more closely :) [08:58] leaf-sheep, i heard a pop [08:59] success [08:59] MightyTweek: Well, I have a fedora liveUSB and windoze on another partition. I experience no such problems. [08:59] phantomcircuit: So you got your sound back then? ;o [08:59] ndlovu: That was the idea. What were you doing? o.o [08:59] yeah [08:59] good day all [08:59] leaf-sheep, I was checking the website [09:00] cheese, gdty [09:00] :) [09:00] i have a display driver related query [09:00] ndlovu: Ah. You got distracted is all. Yeah. Just redirect all URL, update, upgrade. Then you can get your packages. You got them already, right? [09:01] leaf-sheep, updating packages at the moment [09:01] i have a matsonic MS9158E+ motherboard with a built in display card. I believe it is a S3 Prosavage 8 chipset [09:01] gonzojive has the most impressive domain. [09:01] leaf-sheep, yay, testdisk installing :) [09:01] @ Madpilot it just recognised it. But it is giving an error "couldnot lock the camera" while connecting the camera [09:01] unbuntu 9.04 does not detect the display card [09:01] lizzzy, I suspect you may need to reinstall a package related to alsa... maybe try reinstalling alsa-base [09:01] i tried to get chrome working but to no avail [09:02] ndlovu: Mirrors are slow today. (On account of Karmic Beta release). I'm still waiting for the last 20MB. :( [09:02] so i am stuck on 800X600 resolution [09:02] @madpilot i mean i could select the camera from the import source option but i am getting that error [09:02] root__, my camera does that sometimes - what I have to do is unmount the camera, then re-run the Import command from inside gthumb. it's a known issue with camera mounting in the current verison of Ubuntu. [09:02] MightyTweek: Will do that now [09:02] leaf-sheep, ppsssst the columbia.edu mirror is running full speed [09:03] @Madpilot ok i will try that [09:04] phantomcircuit: Psssst... Local repo mirror <3 (FASTEST) [09:04] whats command for edit xorg? [09:04] does anyone know how to get the drivers for my card working? [09:04] leaf-sheep, well i've clocked columbia.edu at 7.0 MB/s [09:05] phantomcircuit: Nice. You live near that mirror? [09:05] cheese_za: try this in your xorg.conf [09:05] cheese_za: http://pastie.org/639112\ [09:05] cheese_za: http://pastie.org/639112 [09:05] MightyTweek: alsa installed is the newest version [09:05] Hi to all, I'm a member of Ubuntu Galician Translators and I'm testing Ubuntu Karmic beta on galician language (gl_ES) and after 2 weeks solving all the translation errors on alfa6 we can see that the ubiquity-slideshow isn't showed translated yet. What is the procedement for make Ubuntu integrate the translations made on launchpad on the final product release? [09:05] cheese_za: you only need to add lines 3 to 6 [09:06] ActionParsnip. The first link you gave me talked about madwifi, this next link (I saved this one) talks about compat-wireless, they're not the same thing, are they? [09:06] will do ActionParsnip1 [09:06] cheese_za: so it will actually look like this: http://pastie.org/639114 [09:06] leaf-sheep, no it's connected directly to a cogent backbone that verizon business internet has forgotten about after they bought the line [09:06] Hi guys [09:06] will let you know how it turns out [09:06] cheese_za: you will need: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [09:06] Can you recommend an editor for rails development on ubuntu? [09:06] frandieguez, Karmic questions to #ubuntu+1, please [09:06] i think it actually maxes out at MUCH higher than that but my line is limited to 7MB/s [09:07] chu_: not sure, play around with them tosee what you can get [09:07] !keep semperfi [09:07] Sorry, I don't know anything about keep semperfi [09:07] sorry lizzzy, I've gotta go. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting might be helpful [09:07] ugh, the ubuntu installer keeps crashing out mysteriously right after formatting partitions [09:07] @Madpilot ok [09:07] It seems compat-wireless one doesn't support the AR928X, so back to madwifi though. [09:07] or right in the middle of formatting partitions [09:08] so am i to assume my disk is fried? [09:08] MightyTweek: Cool! Thanks for your help though. [09:08] How do I find the file responsible for a certain pid, as in what is the command line to use? [09:08] anyone run irssi?? [09:08] shoss: ps aux [09:08] mgmuscari: thanks [09:08] There's a response on the Ubuntu forums regarding this wireless chipset and pretty much my exact problem, what is wicd? As that appears to have solved it. [09:08] shoss: and if you want to see what process is using a particular file, use lsof [09:08] !wicd [09:08] Sorry, I don't know anything about wicd [09:08] I'm trying to type irc commands as text, but two slashes doesn't escape [09:09] !irc [09:09] A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines [09:09] Just use like [/ quit] [09:09] chu_: wicd is a wireless manager like network manager afaik [09:09] like this?

[09:11] hey, I know it's a pain in the ass to find hardware the OS X will run on, but can't I run it on a virtual machine from ubuntu? [09:12] mgmuscari: its a defunct / zombie, i tried kill -9 but no go, it keeps coming back after reboot, i'm trying to find the responsible application that's causing it... [09:12] lsof | grep 5458 might help? [09:12] xen has been difficult for me in the past, but i've got a virtual box install cd [09:13] hi, i have ubuntu hardy audio preview doesn't work, why [09:13] Oh man, wicd doesn't like the gnome-network manager [09:13] That scared me. [09:13] mgmuscari: no output [09:13] i installed sudo apt-get install esound mpg123 mpg123-esd mpg321 vorbis-tools sox [09:13] papapepper: the license of OSX means it must be ran on mac hardware, you are violating your license [09:13] shoss: figures...

I keep timing out trying to upgrade, each attempt gets about 2.5mb before failing. I can upgrade in chunks.... [09:15] mgmuscari: /etc/init.d is a big dir :) [09:15] shoss: that it is... you could start selectively turning things off until your zombie process goes away [09:15] what kernel version is in 9.10 beta? [09:15] is it the same PID every time? [09:15] stwange: the beta of karmic was out yesterdat,busy servers = slow download [09:15] Hi [09:15] mgmuscari: thanks [09:15] ah that explains it. Thanks ActionParsnip [09:15] ah that explains it. Thanks ActionParsnip1 even [09:16] stwange: any big release day hammers the server as folks pull stuff down [09:17] which is why you people should be using the torrents [09:17] shoss: np [09:17] whell there r the supplementary/secondary [09:17] what kernel version is in 9.10 beta? [09:18] does anybody here recall having problems installing 9.04? specifically install.py randomly crashing at the format partitions step [09:18] ActionParsnip1: not yet, I'm not :-) [09:19] Mmmm, wicd doesn't find my wireless either :( Any advice for the WPA Supplicant Driver to use? I have selected madwifi and ndiswrapper; neither worked. [09:20] !md5sum [09:20] 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 [09:20] @Madpilot it worked thanx. Now i dont have to buy cannon ;-) [09:21] root__, good to hear. Canon make nice cameras, though. :) [09:22] chu_: not all wifi devices can connect to WPA in linux [09:22] ugh [09:22] finally [09:22] correct checksum [09:22] well [09:23] Bugger, a few sites I read said wicd did well with the Atheros AR928x, perhaps I'm just unlucky :( [09:23] i guess it turns out that my laptop is hosed SO BADLY, that it can't even reliably write to a usb drive or samba mounted drive... [09:23] ughhhh i hope my /home backed up ok [09:23] @Madpilot will keep that in mind :) [09:23] mgmuscari: boot to livecd and backup then [09:24] hi guys !! [09:24] mgmuscari: doesnt matter whats on the internal disk then ;) [09:24] ActionParsnip1: my partitions steadily degraded to the point where nothing worked [09:24] i was having problems with the livecd i had [09:24] it kept throwing up scsi errors or something === marius is now known as Guest3605 [09:25] if my sata controller just randomly failed i will be EXTREMELY upset with lenovo [09:25] Now, if the wireless *was* working, regardless of if I could connect to the nework, there should be wireless networks found (there are at least 2 right near me), however nothing is found, so perhaps my card isn't "activated" I don't know.... [09:25] can anyone tell me you able 2 download xchat on a mobile phone [09:25] so i tried to make a usb stick to boot from... [09:26] now i'm doing it from my server here [09:26] i'm glad that i opted to at least keep GDM installed in case i ever need it [09:29] mgmuscari: wowsers [09:29] room is clearing out... [09:29] mgmuscari: get the data off fast [09:29] ActionParsnip1: i already managed to get /home onto my NAS [09:29] cool [09:30] i'm running a low-level diagnostic of the hard disk right now from the bios [09:30] if this passes, i'll really be scratching my head...

[09:33] now here :/ http://img23.yfrog.com/i/pk9r.jpg/ [09:33] <^Phantom^> I want to find a file on my windows drive, but I don't know how to use the search function very well... [09:33] ^Phantom^: find [09:33] cd to your windows drive in a terminal [09:33] then do [09:33] find | grep filename [09:33] <^Phantom^> oklay [09:33] will probably take a while... [09:34] yeah especially if you do it that way [09:34] man find [09:34] phantomcircuit: is there a better way to search an ntfs partition? [09:34] but the locate databes probably won't have your windows partition indexed [09:34] yeah you use find correctly [09:34] so no, there isn't really a better way [09:34] dont pipe it through grep ffs [09:34] live and learn :) [09:34] phantomcircuit: you won't save any time by using find 'correctly' [09:34] <^Phantom^> um... [09:34] Has anyone successfully installed Rails? [09:34] <^Phantom^> i'm already doing that... [09:34] phantomcircuit: grep is exceptionally fast [09:35] YungRipp: yes [09:35] I'm following the instructions on the website, but it isn't working.. [09:35] <^Phantom^> the drive is hosed anyway [09:35] sudo gem install rubygems-update [09:35] sudo update_rubygems [09:35] So i executed both of those.. [09:35] ^Phantom^: mine too! [09:35] but the latter, it can't find 'update_rubygems' [09:35] and i tried to find the file, but couldn't [09:35] so it can find it if I do not sudo.. [09:35] but cannot if i do [09:35] YungRipp: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:35] YungRipp: I always install rubygems manually, the ubuntu install never works right [09:35] <^Phantom^> cd media [09:35] <^Phantom^> oops wrong window :( [09:35] yungripp: use the absolute path when you sudo [09:36] ok, let me try that [09:37] hello [09:37] But how can I find the file update_rubygems? [09:37] neither locate nor find seem to work [09:37] AlexxC: how may we be of assistance? [09:37] YungRipp: if it's in your path, which update_rubygems, i guess [09:38] YungRipp: erm, where exactly did you get this rubygems-update package? [09:38] oh, with gem itself [09:38] that's why [09:38] That is what the tutorial on the ubuntu website says to do [09:38] YungRipp: Ubuntu's rubygems package is wonky, it doesn't work right [09:39] Hrm [09:39] The website suggests working through gems [09:39] YungRipp: go to the rubygems website and install the latest version yourself [09:39] fair enough [09:39] YungRipp: try: sudo find / -iname "update_*" [09:39] YungRipp: (after uninstalling the one in the repos) [09:39] i hope it won't cause weird dependency issues later.. [09:39] ah, thanks action_parsnip1 [09:39] YungRipp: it won't, gems is self-contained and only needs ruby itself [09:39] which file does update manager read? [09:40] * snuxoll is a ruby developer [09:40] nmvictor: what do you mean? [09:40] OK, the find command seems to have been a win [09:40] hehe [09:40] it usually is [09:41] Wonder why it was in my path, but not in sudo path.. [09:41] ah well [09:41] YungRipp: because sudo resets your environment [09:41] and, as I said, our rubygems package sucks [09:41] it puts everything in /var/gems and adds it to the path in a way that doesn't work when sudo resets the environment [09:42] snuxoll: you ever used http://www.capify.org/index.php/Capistrano ? [09:42] YungRipp: find is a killer app, iname makes the name case (i)nsensitive [09:42] Boohbah: yup [09:42] I see [09:42] anyone know of a twitter client for irc? [09:42] YungRipp: also put quotes round what you are finding so that spaces and special chars are managed [09:42] snuxoll, i mean when you fire up UM, the packages it displays as available updates are definitely stored in a file from which it reads. [09:42] will do [09:42] nmvictor: update-manager gets all of its information from libapt [09:42] YungRipp: locate couldnt find its ass with 2 hands [09:43] zeltak: i imagine that would depend on your irc client === aa is now known as Guest45839 [09:43] nmvictor: which works on both the apt package listings and the dpkg database [09:43] hi [09:43] nmvictor: not files you want to touch by hand [09:43] anyone know about mozilla nss ? [09:43] thx Boohbah im using weechat (command line irc). but i know some clients are program independet, act as a server i guess? [09:43] zeltak: or do you want an irc bot that speaks twitter? [09:43] <^Phantom^> Okay [09:43] !anyone | cvbnm [09:43] cvbnm: 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? [09:44] can I update my alpha to beta version through internet,i am using 9.10 [09:44] <^Phantom^> Here's a question: I want to run a virus scan on my windows partition from within ubuntu. Is that possible? [09:44] yaaayyyyyyy it tested my disk AND my controller [09:44] and they both pass [09:44] zeltak: there's http://twirssi.com/ for irssi [09:44] ^Phantom^: there are some linux virus scans around [09:45] help me with nss.. [09:45] ^Phantom^: the specific names of them escape me. but yes, you can do that. lots of webmail servers scan attachments for viruses, yes? [09:45] zeltak: i recommend trying irssi if you haven't [09:45] yeah but that is indeed prog specific (for irssi) im using weechat :) [09:45] ive tried both irssi and weechat but for some reaso liked wechat more [09:45] can I update my alpha to beta version through internet,i am using 9.10 [09:45] and stayed with it [09:45] Ok, so, wicd is useless to me, how do I revert back to the old network manager? [09:45] apt-get purge wicd? [09:45] Sweet, installed! [09:46] I wish the website were Wikified.. [09:46] ah well [09:46] zeltak: http://www.weechat.org/files/scripts/old/weeter.pl [09:46] Or maybe I should just document the steps that worked [09:46] can I update my alpha to beta version through internet,i am using 9.10 [09:46] zeltak: for weechat's old API, there isn't one for the new API, so maybe you can port it [09:47] zeltak: btw, http://www.google.com/search?q=weechat+irc+twitter [09:47] hello [09:47] Does anybody have any experience for codec in ubuntu? [09:47] snuxoll, got you, thanks... [09:47] i spoke too soon, epic fail [09:47] cchen: eh? [09:47] lol [09:47] i have experience in codec [09:47] thx Boohbah and yeah i did a google search. im using the new weechat so unfortunantly it does not work with the old twitter script [09:48] u can't view video in youtube? [09:48] zeltak: why not port the old script to the new API? [09:48] snuxoll, Yazid: I'm using totem, would w64codec work in totem or just mplayer? [09:48] are there amarok 2.2 packages avaliable for ubuntu yet? [09:48] cchen: why would you need w64codec? [09:48] zeltak: you can reuse the Net::Twitter pm [09:48] snuxoll, yazid: i did have flash installed so youtube's not a problem. [09:48] i c... [09:48] hehe i wouldnt even know where to begin...i know Zero at programming [09:48] can I update my alpha to beta version through internet,i am using 9.10 [09:49] Guest45839: yes [09:49] so what kind of file extension u want to play/open? [09:49] snuxoll: i need to watch .wmv files.... if I use gstreamer, i'm not sure what package I should install, there are so many [09:49] file extensions are not a good way to determine what codecs you need... [09:49] btw Boohbah if you know how to get irssi to look like this: http://omploader.org/vMmdxMA [09:49] cchen: install ubuntu-restricted-extras and be done with it [09:49] i wouldnt mind giving it a try [09:49] i chatted on the irssi channel but its seems impossible [09:50] snuxoll: ubuntu-restricted-extras have too many stuffs in it, including a flash player, java runtime, all sort of codec that I don't use. [09:50] i like the buffers on one side and nick on the other side "look" thats why i love weechat [09:50] cchen: so? [09:50] cchen: it's an easy install and gives you everything you might need [09:50] ActionParsnip: i like locate! [09:50] snuxoll: i already installed a 64 bit flash player form adobe website, latest sun java runtime environment [09:50] is there a comman to 'reap' a pid in linux? [09:50] cchen: *sigh* don't go installing stuff off the web [09:50] command* [09:51] cchen: please [09:51] we have repositories for a reason [09:51] http://pastebin.com/m4f682244 === Prohibited is now known as test123 === test123 is now known as Prohibited [09:51] zeltak: is your .screenrc set to have those up there all the time? [09:52] zeltak: http://scripts.irssi.org/html/nickcolor.pl.html [09:52] zeltak: http://crunchbanglinux.org/wiki/irssi [09:53] Is madwifi a binary driver? If I don't have it visible in Hardware Drivers I just don't have it installed? [09:53] Is there a way to manually add screen resolutions in 9.04? I have an ATI card running with NVidia drivers. I'm hoping my card (an X300) can go higher than 1280. === baraka is now known as callmebaraka [09:53] thx guys will check the links (btw i am using crunchbang and it rokcs ;-)) [09:53] snuxoll: :-) true! but my work requires developments by using the latest java sdk with eclipse. so I kind of out of choices. I've installed ubuntu-restricted before, but the it won't compile until they instructed me to use the latest sdk from sun. As for the flash, I use the 64 bit instead of using the 32 bit wrapper to run a 32-bit flash to avoid overhead of my box. [09:54] snuxoll: i kind of worry by install ubuntu-restricted will break what I have here. [09:54] http://pastebin.com/m4f682244, ubuntu 8.10, amd64, ati radeon 1900x, wine 1.1.30 [09:54] hi cchen, u still there? [09:54] evening folks, I believe my synaptic has bitten the dust somehow, i'm unable to load syaptic, or install pkgs at the cli. error msg states i need to run 'dpkg --configure -a', but doing so also gives err msg. any advice? [09:55] snuxoll: that's why i was wondering if I can install the individual package alone. [09:55] yazid: i'm here. :-) [09:55] i just got disconnected.. [09:55] cchen: cchen gstreamer0.10-plugins-good/bad/ugly iirc [09:55] have u try to install w32codecs codec> [09:55] ? [09:55] you don't need w32codecs anymore [09:55] http://pastebin.com/m4f682244, ubuntu 8.10, amd64, ati radeon 1900x, wine 1.1.30 [09:56] snuxoll: does gstreamer have codec already in w64codec? Are they different set of codecs or the same? [09:56] cchen: you don't need wcodecs === Gnea_ is now known as Gnea [09:56] hmm.. another things is you could try to install vlc and mplayer..coz they have most of the codecs [09:56] zeltak: sorry, didn't catch your response, if there was one [09:57] brummbaer: what is the error message you get from "dpkg --configure -a" ? [09:57] snuxoll: kk, so gstreamer covers what wcodec covers, right? [09:57] cchen: it should, yes [09:57] snuxoll: i know totem uses gstreamer, but can totem use w64codec? [09:57] firecrotch: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/283643/ [09:57] cchen: no, it can't [09:57] and you don't need w64codecs, so stop asking about it [09:58] we have open source support for every media codec imaginable already, save for rmvb [09:58] HI ALL, is there Multisim for Ubuntu? [09:58] ugh i'm too tired to continue... [09:58] goodnight room [09:58] snuxoll: cool, that answers my question. thanks [09:58] snuxoll: by the way, what's in a multiverse package? [09:59] cchen: restricted software, meaning there may be copyright or patent issues [09:59] snuxoll: gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad or gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse [09:59] cchen: just go with bad, I've never installed multiverse [09:59] http://pastebin.com/m4f682244, ubuntu 8.10, amd64, ati radeon 1900x, wine 1.1.30 [10:00] snuxoll: they both bad. :-) one has multiverse in the package name and the description says the same thing for both packages. [10:00] Gnea: no worries, im looking into the links [10:00] thx [10:01] snuxoll: got it, either one works. thanks~ [10:03] One more question for RoR guys...what IDE/editor setup do you recommend? [10:03] brummbaer: can you paste the output of dpkg --D13 --configure -a ? [10:04] should I partition a disk if I only need it as a whole or let it unpartitioned? [10:04] Bluefish all the way. :P [10:04] hi guys [10:04] firecrotch, unkown option --D13 [10:05] brummbaer: sorry, it's one - before D13 [10:05] in ubuntu netbook edition after installing nvidia drivers tha launcher menu disappeared [10:05] anyone knows how to bring that back ? [10:06] firecrotch: nifty trick, output here -> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/283649/ [10:06] hi there! Where do i have to put my bash script, if it should be executed whenever the (Wlan)-network changes? [10:06] hey guys! [10:06] hi all!

[10:17] brummbaer: libc6 is definitely critical, it's used by practically everything [10:17] only password recover i find is for ubntu login, but thats not what im looking for..

[12:05] Sonic: is your gf streaming and you want to share it with us ? [12:05] Sonic, remote desktop does that for me [12:06] irc.freenode.org [12:06] No.. I'm starting a online radio scanner [12:06] and wanna stream the screen to the viewers [12:06] so they can see what freq its on [12:06] basicly its via ustream [12:07] which uses a Webcam output to stream it to the web [12:07] Sonic: you MAY be able to use vlc to stream, not sure [12:07] Anyway willing to help with epic wireless problems? My Atheros AR928X doesn't appear to be doing *anything*, though it worked up until last night... [12:07] Sonic: i dont use webcams though (too creepy) [12:07] hehe yeah i hear ya.. [12:07] lot of freaky ppl out there [12:08] anyone else been slow to update all day? [12:08] mmm any other ideas other then vlc? [12:08] epic slow [12:08] Servers are probably taking a hammering though. [12:09] Howdy, looking for some help getting klibido to connect through stunnel on a new jaunty j 9.04 install...this the place? [12:09] Chu_ you've noticed? [12:09] Chu_ why are they taking a hammering? [12:09] Everyone's downloading the beta. [12:09] karmic beta. [12:09] ahhh i see [12:09] right [12:10] choose a diff mirror [12:10] problem solved ;) [12:11] I have two monitors. I'd like for different desktops to be associated with them, so that when I ctrl-alt-left or ctrl-alt-right, I'll move between the monitors. Can I do that? [12:11] anyone knows how to manually edit gnome network manager mobile broadband configuration? [12:11] Right now, if I have an application running on a desktop associated with one screen, I can't move it to the next (or at least, I don't know how). [12:12] I want to connect using a bluetooth supported mobile [12:12] good idea Sonic, i like this server but hey why not try another [12:12] If my wireless card shows up in lspci, but there's no wireless interface listed in iwconfig, do I have to associate wlan0 to the wireless device or something? [12:12] Also, switching between the desktops associated with the different monitors appears to be accomplished by moving the mouse off the edge of the screen. But how do I do that with the keyboard? [12:13] chu_: the driver does that, lspci will tell you any hardware attatched to the PCI bus, supported or not [12:13] Also, when I launch a new application, I don't know on which screen it will end up. [12:13] Help? [12:13] hey simple question, i am getting a netbook tomorrow - BenQ joybook u101 - and was wondering if the netbook remix was any good... i have heard it's a piece of shit [12:13] elad`: the keyboard is universlly available to both, the X server you have has simply stretch over 2 displays [12:13] Getting this error when I start klibido: 1, 1: Thread::slotRetryTimeout [12:13] Resuming thread [12:13] Cannot connect [12:13] Klibido is set to connect to localhost:119, and my stunnel.conf points that to the giganews 443 port. Thoughts on what might be wrong? [12:13] jlie: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [12:14] ActionParsnip, no. I appear to have two X-server sessions going. [12:14] Seth_: try it and use it if you like it [12:14] in your opinion [12:14] Seth_: my opinion is pointless, you're the one that will be using it. Load it up in vbox right now if you want [12:15] ActionParsnip1, I have reverted back to ndiswrapper and networkmanager, I have found the latest Atheros WinXP driver, and extracted the .inf and .sys binary. I have tried to tell ndiswrapper to use it, but t gives me an error, something about ndiswrapper.ko format not supported (it was compiled for an earlier kernel is what I get out of that), so I'm at the point where I need to compile the driver for 2.6.30 I would guess? [12:15] ActionParsnip1, I have four desktops associated with the left monitor session, and four with the right. I don't know how to move applications between them (only within each quartet). [12:15] chu_: makes sense [12:16] Heh, don't spose you'd have an idea where to look? :p [12:16] elad`: just drag it over? [12:16] ActionParsnip1, impossible.

[12:22] This just leads me in circles now. [12:22] Four? Why? [12:23] elad`: didnt you say you had 4 monitors? [12:23] chu_: you run 64 bit ? [12:24] test [12:24] So what? [12:24] Why do you people use Ubuntu? [12:24] ActionParsnip1, no. Just two. I have four /desktops/ associated with them. You know, those virtual desktops that come with Ubuntu by default? [12:24] Do you people don't have skills enough for debian? [12:24] OerHeks, 32-bit I believe. [12:25] Ximbinha: Because it rocks?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [13:29] bazhang: apt-get update just returns me to the prompt and the update manager starts - i used to get a list of available updates before [13:30] i want install ubuntu 8, i have xp 64 but i wanna change ok...

[13:30] mechdave: i am in root so i don't need to use sudo [13:31] file, edit,view,folder,message,search,help [13:31] How do I change my display when I rotate my monitor 90 degrees? [13:31] jmorrison, if it shows none, then none are to be had; consider that the servers are extremely hard hit at the moment as well, so may wish to hold off on the open office updates in the pipe [13:31] it detects my 2 hd´s but not the raid made throught the bios [13:31] no tools there [13:31] sahil: Restart your soundsystem with /etc/init.d/alsasound restart [13:31] cybersplice: not working. it sayno such fie or directory [13:31] uhh [13:32] sahil: /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart [13:32] cybersplice, sahil try /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart === mydokumen is now known as male_aj [13:33] mechdave: Thanks, mate.

[13:33] sahil [13:33] k [13:33] jmorrison, let me check the preferences for update-manager [13:34] cybersplice, sahil this is an interesting one :) [13:34] mechdave: Yes. [13:34] When i try to install ubuntu, the problem is that the raid made by intel matrix throught the bios, its not recognized. Thats normal? What should i do? [13:34] hi, i just upgraded to karmic and, at boot there's a message saying unknown filesystem xfs [13:34] why is that? [13:34] temporarytao: Were you using XFS for your / partition? [13:34] temporarytao: #ubuntu+1 [13:35] temporarytao: probably nothing, but #ubuntu+1 can help you [13:35] the / partition is using ext4 [13:35] but the home partition is xfs [13:35] Gnea, k i'll try there [13:35] cybersplice/mechdave: http://pastebin.com/m7bd07110 [13:35] temporarytao: after oct 31, we can help you with karmic here [13:35] jmorrison, under settings try disable/uncheck automatic update [13:36] sahil, why is dd running? [13:36] Gnea, hehe, sorry about that. bit of a noob [13:36] dd? [13:36] and rarcrack :P [13:36] what do I need to do to a pendrive to get it to boot as a live CD (from getting the .iso to actually starting the system from there) ? [13:36] sahil line 64 [13:37] and ssh agent [13:37] ruh roh [13:37] sahil, cybersplice is this machine exposed to the internet directly? [13:37] trece8, using unetbootin? [13:37] anyone knows why i cant access my new nikon d300s on 9.03 [13:37] bazhang: will check those again, its not a major problem except when updating a remote machine i would need to forward the display, if you see what i mean [13:37] !liveusb | trece8 [13:37] Sorry, I don't know anything about liveusb [13:37] is there a limit in the use of 50% of the swap file in ubuntu?

[13:38] jrib: how are you so sure? [13:38] mechdev: what next?? [13:38] sahil: mechdave: That's probably a good reason for that. [13:38] paseante: because I've had mine fill up [13:38] trece8: sorry that link is for a read/write filesystem, maybe overkill for your needs. you may simply use unetbootin as bazhang says or usb-image-creator [13:38] its showing up as standard usb ptp class camera [13:39] jrib: :) ok thanks [13:39] sahil: killall pulseaudio [13:39] and then it says error connecting [13:39] k [13:39] Boohbah, had better luck with unetbootin :) [13:39] paseante: some memory leak in nvidia driver I guess... [13:39] hy [13:39] i have a laptop with a much older ubuntu where i can use the camera [13:39] no problem, i'll try both things [13:39] bazhang: i had no luck with anything last time i tried, but that was a karmic alpha image and i finally gave up and dist-upgraded from jaunty :) [13:39] trece8, for jaunty its in the repos (unetbootin) === DaZ__ is now known as DaZ [13:40] bazhang, already downloading, thanks [13:40] jrib: in my case rarely used apps seem not to be swapped out [13:40] another question: how is the easiest way to make your "own" distribution? What app to use? [13:40] jrib: which renders the system unusably slow [13:40] sahil, you have 2 instances of rarcrack, is that meant to be?

[13:43] should I stop this and wait for a torrent or something? is there any way to torrent these updates? [13:43] sahil, a process that is there but not listed [13:43] mechdave: sahil: Yeah, ghost process. [13:43] archine.ubuntu.com is being abused right now I can imagine [13:43] bazhang, there is an alternative to unetbootin, for putting there ANY CD image? ( like crunchbang or so) [13:44] mechdave: sahil: If you restart X it will go, but you lose your rarcrack sessions. [13:44] JPSman, common complaint karmic beta [13:44] sorry, stupid question, nevermind [13:44] trece8, should work with most linux iso's afaik [13:44] bazhang - no complaint here, I mean I dont NEED this update... [13:44] ill just stop it and wait for it later [13:44] ah.......i'll restart is later on then: cybersplice:mechdave [13:44] yes, yes, it surely does, I just didn't see the button, my bad [13:44] JPSman, seems to be the open office one, so yeah :) [13:45] one of them failed though, a linux-image2.6.28-15-generic - that sounds important. I have never seen an update fail before [13:46] JPSman, failed here too, tried later and it got done [13:46] JPSman: same here [13:46] what is the linux-image2.6.28-15-generic anyway? is that a new kernel? or a kernel update? [13:46] JPSman, was it "failed" or "held back"? [13:47] JPSman: linux-image-xxx is a new kernel [13:47] ah [13:47] it just says failed. its allll good, I probably won't be upgrading this time around [13:48] JPSman: just hang a little then try again [13:48] <[yzf600]> hey - anyone know how I can disable gnu screen from auto loading when I ssh into my box?

[14:25] mama2lmama, don't spam me, punk [14:25] I still hope for webpages to become torrent-based :( [14:25] trece8: That would suck. [14:25] trece8: theres something like that. [14:25] slashdot uses it. [14:25] err.. spam from #ubuntu .. [14:25] GreyGhost: can you pm me it? [14:25] lol, didn't think about that. of course getting the update torrent from the repository itself would fix that wouldn't it? [14:26] or did. I forget what it's called. [14:26] Hey guys, I noticed that the release schedule for Ubuntu 10.04 has been released. What happened to all the point releases between karmic and lucid, and how come they know the point release of 10.04 before karmic has bnee officially released? [14:26] mama2lmama is a spammer [14:26] hi all. aptitude can't connect to ca.archive.ubuntu.com (91.189.88.46). Is it possible to force it to use another mirror? [14:26] trece8: The bittorrent protocol kind of evolves around availability. Without any dedicated server data will simply vanish if it loses popularity. [14:26] yeah pls kick the idiot .. [14:26] brianV, use torrents [14:26] trece8: to download and install empathy? :p [14:27] trece8: I am not grabbing an iso [14:27] grouse: The version numbers for Ubuntu releases are the year and month of release. i.e. 2010 April is 10.04 [14:27] well, that's all the little I know [14:27] ah, I thought they were build numbers. Thanks [14:28] Hello everyone. [14:28] hey again all, still no fix. [14:28] chu_, for what [14:28] how do I disable vesa for PXElinux?

[14:31] thanks [14:31] ok thnaks [14:31] chu_, which chipset [14:31] thanks [14:31] anyone running ubuntu 9.04 with an ATI graphics card? [14:31] !anyone [14:31] A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [14:31] !details [14:31] Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [14:32] mazfer, which card and what version of ubuntu [14:32] After about a week my web server keeps getting down to about 60 megs of free ram. The server has 4gb of ram and has almost a 0 load average. I am using 8.10 and Apache2 / PHP / MySQL X-Cache. I know Ubuntu / Linux does use ram for cache to keep from swapping but is this normal? [14:32] ATI mobility radeon HD 3650 and Ubuntu 9.04 [14:32] mazfer, is there something in hardware drivers for that? [14:33] rightsprocket, are you able to check whats using the ram? [14:33] the proprietary drivers.. but i was wondering if you get the ATI catalyst control center 9.9 when you activate the proprietary drivers [14:33] thiebaude I am running top and free and ps but nothing seems to add up to the amount being used. [14:34] rightsprocket: yes is normal. check with free what is the porcentage of cache [14:35] how do i install a package manually? i am noob. i download cairo-dock-2.0.8.2.tar.bz2 and the plugins. how do i install it? [14:35] erUSUL, am i correct that the cache is not used? [14:35] mark1: if you are new just use the prepackged versions aviable via Aplications>Add/Remove [14:35] hey, can anybody ban/kick mama2lmama? [14:35] spamming [14:35] trece8: Can you pm me with what message you got from them? [14:36] mark1, best to stick to repos, that is in the repos btw [14:36] :o [14:36] erUSUL I am getting into the server now. But should it use up the ram with cache up to 60 megs free? [14:36] atheros ar928x pci-e ... I have been through a lot, and basically nailed to down that my kernel is missing mac80211 [14:36] Or I just cannot find it. [14:37] rightsprocket: yes is the normal thing afaics. You can tweak this behavior via the /proc/sys/vm/ tunables === maxim is now known as Guest18442 [14:37] thanks.. but how do i install it manually? i extracted it to a folder... i am unsure if i have the right file, also.. http://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=8724 Which do i need for Ubuntu 9.04?? [14:37] erUSUL Is there a time then when is should get worried? Like if the system starts to use swap? [14:37] !compile | mark1 if you insist... [14:37] mark1 if you insist...: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [14:37] !swap [14:37] 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 [14:37] erUSUL Right now my swap is at 0. [14:38] thiebaude Thanks! [14:38] rightsprocket, np [14:38] is there any advantage to having a swap partition rather than a swapfile? [14:38] rightsprocket: yes; if you suffer a (swap storm) or the OOM killer is invoked then maybe you have to find out if one of your processes is leaking memory [14:38] erUSUL Thanks! [14:38] malimbar: many live cd will see/use a sawp partition if it exists. :) is one reason [14:39] How can I access apache on Ubuntu from windows XP on virtaulbox? (win is a guest OS) [14:39] tomoyuki28jp`: if the vbox is set up right. its would be the same as if the 2 machines are on the same lan.. you could use http://ip.of.other.box [14:40] malimbar: suspend to disk is more reliable (iirc) if done to a swap parition vs a swapfile (i do not even know for sure if you can s2disk with a swap file) [14:40] Dr_Willis: uhm, localhost or 127.0.0.1 doesn't work. [14:40] hey, who's mama2lmama? [14:40] tomoyuki28jp`: make sure that you have set up bridged networking for the guest [14:40] temporarytao: a troll [14:40] he's/she's marketing discounted debian/ubuntu support [14:40] Ahahaha! I found a max80211 directory [14:40] tomoyuki28jp`: thats because localhost is 127.0.0.1 and that is the 'same' machine. [14:40] temporarytao: /whois mama2lmama [14:40] temporarytao: Can you pm me the message you got? [14:41] stefg: I will, thanks! [14:41] temporarytao: Or throw it on a pastebin? [14:41] chu_: nice [14:41] Pici, sorry but i closed the window already [14:41] i guess nigerian scammers are linux users too, eh? :) [14:41] Dr_Willis: So what host name or IP should I use instead? [14:41] Pici: is marketing against the channel guidelines? [14:41] !spam [14:41] Sorry, I don't know anything about spam [14:42] Pici: i couldn't find it listed explicitly in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines perhaps that document needs to be updated [14:42] Boohbah: Spamming our users is. [14:42] Boohbah: this is not ebay :-) [14:42] tomoyuki28jp`: the network ip of the box. not localhost. try ifconfig command and look at the ip#'s [14:42] mama can piss off [14:42] !language [14:42] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [14:43] hey [14:43] Pici: stefg: i know and i agree it shouldn't be allowed. but it should be explicitly listed in the policy https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [14:43] !offtopic | Boohbah [14:43] Boohbah: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks!

[14:43] Does everybody just ignore that spam message? Or should that nick get booted? [14:43] how to check my system info and hardware? [14:43] spam [14:44] Dr_Willis: uhm? Ubuntu is the host OS and win is a guest. Maybe you misunderstand my question? [14:44] xopen: lspci [14:44] xopen: depends what you wanna know [14:44] Does anyone know how to change the path ndiswrapper expects the driver to be placed? [14:44] tomoyuki28jp`: you dont understand how virtualbox works.. the os inside virtualbox has a virtualnetwork card and its own ip. [14:44] hey - short question if others here experience the same: when i plug in / plug out / turn on / off a secondary monitor on my laptop, all of ubuntu just freezes. only thing out is a hard reboot [14:44] ActionParsnip, thanks, i wish to know how many processors i have [14:44] tomoyuki28jp`: your host machine also has an ip. and it can even have a private ip on the same private lan as the virtualbox machines. [14:44] Boohbah: I'll confer with the other ops about it. [14:45] ActionParsnip, the ram etc and linux OS [14:45] xopen: cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep processor [14:45] tomoyuki28jp`: the 2 can 'network' together as if they were 2 physical machines on the same lan. You can als install the virtualbox guest addations and access a special 'virtualbox shared directory' [14:45] xopen: free -m [14:45] xopen: lsb_release -a; uname -a [14:45] Dr_Willis: Oh, I see. thanks for the info. I see wmaster0 in the output of ifconfig. Is that the one? [14:46] xopen: cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep processor the number of cores = the highest number [14:46] tomoyuki28jp`: Given that you use bridged networking the host and the guest behave like two machines in the same LAN. if they are configured to use the same subnet you should be able to reach either machine by IP, even if have no nameserver or entries in the hosts file [14:46] tomoyuki28jp`: you may want to check the virtualbox docs at the vbox homepage.. it has a very well done manual. [14:46] if I've installed the alpha of 9.10, do I just apt-get update && apt-get upgrade to get to the beta? [14:46] smaug9 : Please join #ubuntu+1 for Karmic/9.10 support/discussion.

I set mine up where the vbox machine has an ip on my 'real' lan' so other machines can access it as if it was a real machine. [14:46] stefg: Dr_Willis: thanks!! [14:46] thanks [14:47] xopen: i think there is a system info program but ive not used it [14:48] ActionParsnip, Oh, thanks for the info.

[14:50] Hi, I've just installed ubuntu server 9.04. When installing I did not have the networkcable plugged in so i skipped the network setup. Now when I run ifconfig I just find the "lo" interface and not the realtech-card that I've got on the machine. [14:50] How do I set this up? [14:50] flog: sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces [14:51] ActionParsnip, its a server. I dun have interface for that. [14:51] flog: you can now add: auto eth0 [14:51] flog: on the next line add: iface inet eth0 dhcp [14:51] ActionParsnip: sysinfo [14:51] flog: press ctrl +x, press y, then press enter [14:51] Sorry didn't mension that. Allready did that part. [14:52] ActionParsnip: 15:48 < erUSUL> !info sysinfo | xopen [14:52] xopen: no, but you may achieve that with a series of commands. 'cat /proc/cpuinfo; free -m; grep -i driver /var/log/Xorg.0.log' [14:52] xopen: then you will need those commands [14:52] flog: then run: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [14:52] flog: your device should now start hunting for dhcp [14:53] I'm having trouble with vsftpd. I want to permit FTP access but not SSH. If I set the user's login shell to /usr/sbin/nologin to prevent shell access, it can't use FTP either. Ideas? [14:53] ActionParsnip: thanks. [14:53] kek: /bin/false [14:54] kek: you can set it to /bin/false [14:54] Is us.archive.ubuntu.com slow or is it just me?

[15:15] eaglestar: Dunno. Depends. Some cards like WPA better than WEP. === akgraner__ is now known as akgraner [15:15] eaglestar: It will make it a lot more secure.

[15:16] sidh: you could use unetbootin to make a bootable 'flash' drive you boot.. and install from that to the CF - You dont want to use unetbootin i imagine to install TO the cf..

[15:19] s/DEVICE/device <- sorry caps lock pb [15:19] sidh: i normally take the iso file. and use unetbootin to make a 'bootable' usb flash drive.. I then put that flash drive in whatever machine.. boot from it and run the installer to then Install to the drive on the machine. [15:19] as there are aloready other data on the flash drive, do i have to format it ? [15:20] sidh: theres also the #mythbuntu channel. they may know of a better way to put it on a cf drive. [15:20] sidh, for unetbootin? sure [15:20] sidh: unetbootin will erase/format the flash drive [15:20] I think. :) [15:20] ok great [15:20] you may want to erase it to begin with. [15:20] Dr_Willis:It didn't for me [15:20] Ok, thanks all, ubuntu found the new HD as /dev/sdb1, which I partitioned to a single, unformatted partition. Now I hope that after boot, CloneZilla will recognize it too ... [15:21] can someone show me the facebook ip? [15:21] Victor1: i always use the same few flash drives.. so i tend to erase/forma them befor i use unetbootin - just in case. :) [15:21] do i have to format the flash drive in ext3 FS ? [15:21] sidh: unetbootin uses fat16 [15:21] disappearedng, not sure what you mean there, how is this ubuntu related [15:21] sidh: normal windows formating of it..

[15:26] I don't think Ubuntu even runs on itanium processors [15:26] Well, it would if someone compiled everything for it [15:26] Keiya: What would be the point? Dead architecture, for all intents and purposes. [15:26] how about what is uname -r? [15:26] what is that used for? [15:26] But you'd have to go to debian if you wanted a distro that supports it.

[15:29] Keiya: Yes. Yes, it is. [15:29] erUSUL: well, I have added a couple of repositories, maybe they did it. I mean I updated and it updated the firefox to 3.5.4pre. [15:30] Hello, I need some help. I tried installing fonts that I use at work and it broke firefox, thunderbird, and viewing .pdf files. Firefox and .pdf files show horizontal lines where there should be words and thunderbird starts for a sec then closes (crashes?) [15:30] Victor1: Right-click on the icon on the desktop then go to the volume tab then look at File System. [15:31] Victor1: Oops, properties first [15:31] dpac: what "couple of repositories" you added? [15:31] Question: Is there a way (in Jaunty) to run two (or more) "sudo apt-get" instances? [15:31] * Keiya can't wait until Karmic is stable and released. [15:31] James_T_Kirk: not that ive ever seen.. that could cause issues [15:31] Meaning: Can I run two "sudo apt-get install" instances in two (or more) Terminal windows... [15:31] Because it's Karmic /Koala/. And Koalas? Are awesime. [15:31] That is all. [15:31] James_T_Kirk: that would not be wise. [15:32] Dr_Willis: What issues? [15:32] James_T_Kirk: database being in one state while another app is thinking its in a different state...

[15:32] XiXaQ: I have tried, it hasnt worked... why would it not be wise? [15:32] deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main [15:32] James_T_Kirk: That would be illogical. (And probably break apt somehow.) [15:32] dpac: please use pastebin [15:32] James_T_Kirk: would you want one instance of apt-get to install an application that's you're currently uninstalling? [15:32] Keiya: Nice. [15:33] :D [15:33] erUSUL: http://paste.ubuntu.com/283890/ [15:33] or trying to install somthing while the database is gettting updated.. [15:33] how do one resets the printing page size to letter in OpenOffice Writer, it keeps defaulting on A4, frekin hp printer keeps asking for A4 paper even though it is set to Letter [15:33] XiXaQ: Well, at the moment I am running a "sudo apt-get update" .... while that is running, my /var/lock/ is unavailable, so I cant run anything else... [15:33] Now downloading packages from different servers at the same time would be handy.. [15:34] James_T_Kirk: yes. thats how its designed.. it locks it so only one instance can run at a time. [15:34] Help! I tried installing fonts that I use at work and it broke firefox, thunderbird, and viewing .pdf files. Firefox and .pdf files show horozontal lines where there should be words and thunderbird starts for a sec then closes (crashes?) [15:34] Dr_Willis: so there is no work_around? [15:34] James_T_Kirk: right. That's a very good thing. Otherwise, you could get an application that wouldn't work because some of it was using a new version and some of it an old version. [15:34] Dr_Willis: Normally, the server has more bandwidth than you. [15:34] ... normally. [15:34] James_T_Kirk: theres no problem to work around.. its designed that way..... [15:34] James_T_Kirk: you wouldn't want to work around that. It would break your system. [15:35] Keiya: i mean from different servers.. get package A from server a.. package b from server b. [15:35] XiXaQ: Thanks.... well, am still learning, even though this is my second year of using Ubuntu [15:35] can we run that in multiple ? [15:35] Dr_Willis: Right, I mean that normally one server is enough to mostly saturate your connection. [15:35] Keiya: i think ive noticed this feature in 9.10 actually with some servers.. (or else the apt-get upgrade output is messing up [15:36] erUSUL: http://paste.ubuntu.com/283890/ [15:36] Except when releasetime rolls around. :P [15:36] Keiya: i rarely notice a single server giveing me stuff more then 1/4 my speed i can take it at. [15:36] Dr_Willis: It doesn't matter where you DL from, all the mirrors will be tanked. And i'm pretty sure it only DLs one package at a time in any case, so... [15:36] Another question: Has any software developer made a vector graphics as good as Adobe Illustrator for Linux? Or has anyone "ported" it to run in "native" rather than "virtualization" mode? [15:36] dpac: probably the update came via http://paste.ubuntu.com/283890/ [15:36] dpac: probably the update came via deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main [15:37] dpac: but i dunno what to add... you got what you asked for... [15:37] James_T_Kirk: You can run it in WINE, which is not an emulator, or you can use inkscape or something. Noone will port it, because Adobe won't port it, and it would be illegal to reverse engineer it in order to do the port. :) [15:37] erUSUL: thanks, I'll try removing that [15:38] James_T_Kirk: think that you share a bike with someone. You both own it, so you both trust that you can use it. There is a physical "lock" there, that if you're using it, the other cannot. Now, if you were to work around that lock, you'd find your self jumping on a bike that wasn't there. That would hurt your ass and ego. :) [15:38] Damn proprietary software. [15:38] Eish! Why is Adobe being so DIFFICULT? Dont they realise they could easily break the Apple-Microsoft monopoly of their Creative Suite packages? [15:38] James_T_Kirk: tried inkscape ? or xaraxl ? [15:38] James_T_Kirk: Proprietary developers are like that [15:38] There are many more people using Linux than Apple AND Microsoft combined... I think [15:38] Use Free Software [15:39] ... And no, it's microsoft than linux and apple combined :P [15:39] Damn Ubuntu. When it breaks no one will help you fix it and your stuck dong a complete system install, which is what I'm facing. Just like windows. [15:39] erUSUL: I tried.... Inkscape DOESNT handle CMYK and Xaraxl has a very hard learning curve [15:39] It's what I'm facing again. Right now. [15:39] James_T_Kirk: Sadly there's probably not enough of a market for them. [15:39] Whar broke, saturnin1? [15:39] no support. [15:39] demand a refund! [15:39] saturnin1: that's not true... You get customer support. [15:39] I tried installing fonts that I use at work and it broke firefox, thunderbird, and viewing .pdf files. Firefox and .pdf files show horozontal lines where there should be words and thunderbird starts for a sec then closes (crashes?) [15:39] ... what do you think this channel is? [15:39] Now I have no browser or E-mail that I can use. [15:40] or pdf files. [15:40] !attitude | saturnin1 [15:40] saturnin1: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [15:40] cybersplice: BUT if they would port to LINUX, many people WOULD switch! WHO NEEDS VIRUSES! [15:40] James_T_Kirk: seems easier for you to add CMYK to inkscape (or pay someone to add it for you) than to port illustrator [15:40] I hate Microsoft... but am comfortable with Apple. [15:40] saturnin1: how did you installed that fonts ? [15:40] James_T_Kirk: Sadly, public companies very rarely think that way. [15:40] erUSUL: Well, HOW would CMYK be added to Inkscape? And WHO would do so? [15:41] From directions on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Fonts I did the following: [15:41] cd to /usr/share/fonts/truetype and made a directory. [15:41] then ran the command "sudo fc-cache -f -v" [15:41] Logged-out and back in and these three things were broken (possibly more?). [15:41] saturnin1: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [15:41] Any suggestions for a wiki package that is not complicated? [15:41] Am gonna write a letter to those people in Redmond, WA, at the Adobe HQs [15:41] To try and undo the problem I removed the directory I had created and re-ran the command "sudo fc-cache -f -v" then re-logged-in. In desparation I then used synaptic to reinstall any anything that was already installed when I searched for "font." [15:41] location of .conkyrc guys? [15:41] saturnin1: undo the steps you did === wet-chan is now known as wet [15:41] Anstice: ~/ [15:42] Anstice: you make one in your home dir. [15:42] Anstice: your home forlder [15:42] I can't. I have no browser to go to http anything. sorry [15:42] Thanks. [15:42] what command was it in wget, that I may say it to only download files that have: .mp3 .mov .m4a... [15:42] :J [15:42] happosade: -A*.mp3 iirc (check man page) [15:42] James_T_Kirk: be sure to threaten them with photon torpedoes. [15:42] saturnin1: how did you install the fonts? [15:43] I just posted that and got a flood warning. [15:43] it seems that gvfs comes installed by default in ubuntu... is this package required by gnome to operate ? [15:43] erUSUL: so for example: -A*.mp3 *.ogg [15:43] ? [15:43] Repast: From directions on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Fonts I did the following: cd to /usr/share/fonts/truetype and made a directory. then ran the command "sudo fc-cache -f -v" Logged-out and back in and these three things were broken (possibly more?). [15:43] happosade: as i said check tha man page for the exact syntax [15:43] I'm trying to know if I can uninstall it.. I actually use KDE env on ubuntu so keeping Gnome working is not something I care about [15:43] saturnin1: that's because you use many lines. Try to contain as much of your messages on a single line, then it's both easier to read and less disruptive to the channel. [15:44] made a directory? I dont know why you would make a directory saturnin1 what dir did you make? [15:44] gvfs is the gnome virtual file system btw... I just can't tell what that means [15:44] I was looking at ikiwiki. any one used that or know a simple user friendly one? [15:44] blip-: yes is needed by gnome [15:45] vigo: i use tiddlywiki :) No idea what ikiwiki does or howit compares [15:45] erUSUL: ok i'll uninstall then. thanks [15:45] Dr_Willis: Thank you. [15:45] blip-: kde equivalent is KIO afaik [15:45] I cd's to usr/share/fonts/truetype and typed mkdir "blah" then copied the font files to it from my thumbdrive and ran the command "sudo fc-cache -f -v". All in a terminal window. [15:45] hi, why when I start some process in gnu/screen, there are 2 instances of it in the output of 'ps'? /usr/bin/screen.real process_name and /usr/bin/SCREEN.real process_name [15:45] vigo: and theres a dozen+ variants on tiddlywiki and its soooooo customizable its amazing [15:46] how long do you think the repos are going to be down? [15:46] saturnin1: why did you have to force it? [15:46] spreadthelove: they have been gettting faster for me all day === cmdshftn__ is now known as cmdshftn [15:46] i still cant connect [15:47] I was simply following the directions that said this is how to do it. [15:47] spreadthelove: i am downloading the updates but its not fast at all [15:47] Dr_Willis: didlywiki? I did not see tidli in the repos. [15:47] saturnin1: to be honest.. i just copy the fonts to the .fonts directory [15:48] JEDIDIAH__: Jajajaya [15:48] vigo: "TiddlyWiki' is a self contained Wiki system in a html file. its not in the repos. [15:48] Dr_Willis: Thank you. [15:48] saturnin1: ok. Did you set permissions on the directory you made and the files in it? === DaZ is now known as cc === chaky_ is now known as chaky [15:49] That later occured to me, but I had already tried to undo by erasing the directory and rerunning the command. [15:49] saturnin1: it also sais that the easiest way to add fonts is to put them in your /home/username/.fonts directory. [15:49] saturnin1: ok. What happened then? [15:49] why when I start some process in gnu/screen, there are 2 instances of it in the output of 'ps'? /usr/bin/screen.real process_name and /usr/bin/SCREEN.real process_name === fred_ is now known as Guest55059 [15:50] Nothing. Firefox, Thunderbird, and .pf are still broken. no change. [15:50] sorry .pdf files. [15:50] saturnin1: something happened. Were you able to reinstall the fonts? [15:52] No. I haven't been able to do anything about the fonts. I deleted what I had put there to try and install them, so thought that having removed what I copied would remove the problem. It didn't. [15:52] As far as I know, only what was there before I started should be there now. [15:52] so, is there a way that i can automatically open 4 terminals and arrange them nicely on the fourth desktop at each startup? [15:53] these will "tail -f" different logs from /var/log [15:53] II used synaptic to remove and reinstall Firefox but that made no difference. [15:53] need to prepare a document on quality management [15:53] have any link with that? [15:53] saturnin1: that's synthetic. no good for ya. use orgaptic. [15:53] saturnin1: have you rerun the fc-cache command afterwards, and logged out and back in again? [15:54] I did that. That was my fiorst response to the problem. Remove what I installed and rerun the command. [15:54] saturnin1: oh, that's never useful. I hope you payed attention to what else was being removed? [15:54] Hence the synaptic approach. [15:54] saturnin1: what did fc-cache tell you? [15:55] What's the next ubuntu release named? Krazy kaper? I forgot. [15:56] XiXaQ: It was over a week ago. I don't really now what the output was.

[15:57] hm [15:57] quick question guys how do i get evolution mail client to minimise to tray without loading any other apps such as alltray [15:57] I just installed a Linux OS (Ubuntu) to a disk with three partitions, [ fat32 ][ /boot ][ /root (encrypted) ] - grub tries to boot, but returns error (15) after loading stage 1.5. What do I need to do to gather more information so that I might troubleshoot? [15:57] system404: you don't. === andrew_ is now known as Guest60360 [15:57] surely there must be a way for such a simple task [15:58] crescendo: 1.) why are you putting /boot on a fat partition 2.) how did you encypt root [15:58] system404: no. Why? [15:58] Any quirks installing ubuntu With windows 7 [15:58] ikonia, I didn't put it on a fat32 partition; I put it on an ext2 partition as /boot - secondly, I encrypted / during the Ubuntu install process [15:58] bobzip: no [15:58] crescendo: ahhh I see they are your 3 partitions [15:59] because i like my mail client to start up with my computer in a minimised state so as its allways there running me and alerting me of new mail allways without having to remember to turn it on [15:59] sajes: sorry. [15:59] Grub will put 7 on boot list? [15:59] bobzip: if it finds it, sure [15:59] grub will put 7 on boot list as windows vista loader [15:59] ikonia, add new partition -> set up encrypted -> format as ext4 -> use as / -- something like that, using the Alternate installer [15:59] system404: i seem to recall reading (a good long while ago), that the lack of built-in "system tray" functionality was a deliberate design decision on the part of the evolution coders. [15:59] system404: we don't have a "tray" in Ubuntu. We have a notification area. It's not supposed to be used that way, so core GNOME applications don't normally do it. [16:00] Ok thanks [16:00] well is there anyway to have it started up running in the backround [16:00] crescendo: check out http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=120091 [16:00] system404: you do, however, have mail notifiers that you can run. It's much more efficient than running Evolution for that. [16:00] notifiers? [16:01] crescendo: sorry - wrong url [16:01] system404: however, check out the "mail-notification" and "mail-notification-evolution" packages [16:01] system404: Alltray does this. why don't you want to use it? It's designed to do what you want. [16:01] does anyone know why my external hard drive only wants to mount as root owned? [16:01] !encryption [16:01] Sorry, I don't know anything about encryption [16:01] cool ill do that thanks [16:01] system404: yes, to check your inboxes and tell you when you receive mail. [16:01] Can someone suggest where else I might get some help with this broken Mozilla and .pdf as I'm out of options now and may hay have to abandon this Linux thing if it can't be fixed. [16:01] i dont wish to have such apps running and using memory for silly little tasks [16:01] system404: if you check out alltrays manpage, you'll see that it has some options that you can use. [16:02] saturnin1: what's the problem? (i just got in) [16:02] system404: memory is cheap. if you're not using the memory you paid for, you're wasting it, yes? [16:02] cool ill do that thanks [16:02] I tried installing fonts that I use at work and it broke firefox, thunderbird, and viewing .pdf files. Firefox and .pdf files show horozontal lines where there should be words and thunderbird starts for a sec then closes (crashes?)From directions on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Fonts I did the following: cd to /usr/share/fonts/truetype and made a directory. then ran the command "sudo fc-cache -f -v" Logged-out and back in and these three [16:02] system404: using a mail notifier will use a lot less memory than running Evolution in the notification area. [16:02] sipior true but i like to use my memory for usefull fings and do not wish it to be wasted on silly little tasks [16:02] !encrypted | crescendo [16:02] crescendo: For information on setting up encrypted private directories (8.10+) see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory [16:03] so best to use notifier to run then when i get new mail fire up evolution and check my mail then [16:03] 6c/win 72 [16:03] in rereading that it seems I left out a step. after making the directory I copied the fonts to the new directory. [16:03] @ikonia: but I'm looking for a whole-disk encryption, / [16:03] satrunin1: you didn't copy them? [16:03] system404: it can't be too silly a task, since it seems to be fairly important to you :-) [16:03] system404: how much does Alltray use, it can't be that much . [16:04] yes, I did copy the new fonts to the new directory. [16:04] crescendo: yess, I thought that was the right guide, somewhere there is a guide, it bascailly shows you how to make /etc available during boot for encyption [16:04] system404: and Evolution certainly wouldn't use much less ram by incorporating that feature into its core, so your argument doesn't make any sense. [16:04] what did you miss? [16:04] ill use mail notifier it seems to be best option [16:04] system404: that's what i use, i like it. it even opens up in gmail-web [16:05] crescendo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedFilesystemOnIntrepid [16:05] so [16:05] system404: if being notified about new mails is what you want, then that's the best choice. Evolutions data doesn't depend on Evolution running though. Evolution-data-server handles that, and it runs in the background automatically. [16:05] external hdd mounts as root, i want it to mount as me.. any idea? [16:06] im not saying that im saying having evolution running then alltray running just to get it on the taskbar is a waste of resources when i can as u pointed out just use mail notifier then when i get mail fire up evolution check my mail and be done that seems my best option [16:06] what would i enter to update to karmic without using the gui [16:06] thje gui doesnt want to work [16:06] I have problems (Mic low volume) in karmic Koala (Vostro 1510 Realtek High Definition Audio). somebody can help?

It was an interesting experiment though. [16:11] when i set it up it cant find evolution plugin [16:11] Helloes. [16:11] system404: and you restarted evolution? [16:11] yes [16:12] saturnin1: the real reason is that the fonts you installed are broken from an ubuntu perspective. ubuntu uses utf-8 so the encoding simply didn't work [16:12] Before I give up completely and reinstall XP, does anyone have any suggestion where else I might find help with this problem? [16:13] can you repeat the problem? [16:13] saturnin1: if you reinstall xp, keep a blank partion for ubuntu in the future (recommendation) [16:13] so the problem is PIBKAC related and not Ubuntu [16:13] haha [16:13] saturnin1: remove the fonts, sudo dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig [16:13] hello ladies and gentlemen, could you please tell me "what is the use of 'apt-get clean'? [16:14] OK stefg... but my compter isn't working. I can;t fix it, and no where where I was told I could get lots of help if something went wrong can help me fix it. Where does that leave a person who needs a compter to do their work? [16:14] suhasa: apt get keeps a lot of temp and cached files, apt-get clean removes them [16:14] suhasa: read "man apt-get" to enlighten yourself [16:14] It leaves them with windows.

[18:48] why does update offer all of these kde updates on a gnome desktop [18:48] primary, one that uses SSH [18:48] primary, i am just joking [18:48] primary: most file managers have some ftp features. I use 'mc' for a ftp client for a long tmime [18:49] mezquitale: It might be a setting in abi word and text editor.. [18:49] primary, I would use scp over ssh [18:49] * Dr_Willis agrees - dont use ftp if you can use ssh [18:49] mezquitale: Have you tried printing a pdf [18:49] Dr_Willis: what is ssh? [18:49] mezquitale: or saving a file as a pdf [18:50] cognitiaclaeves, where are those mail messages located currently? file or on a server?

[18:59] coz_, yep [18:59] lwells: are you using ubuntu/ [18:59] lwells: then you want a 'sftp' client. Not a 'ssh' client [18:59] ? [18:59] im pretty new to ubuntu and linux, does anyone have any experience with a 2.5" SSD for a laptop? looking to get one, wondering if it caused any problems or worked great.

[18:59] Hi, so sudo kill 3245 (which is the pid of apt-get) doesn't kill the apt process. Any other way? [18:59] Dr_Willis: yes i know that [19:00] coz_, e.g. dpkg -i filename.deb [19:00] jpknowmad: as long as it fits into the laptop fine, it should behave just like a normal Hard Drive, but way way faster [19:00] lizzzy: killall apt-get [19:00] jpknowmad: Not enough details. It's a hard drive. Also, lot of netbooks, computers, laptops, servers. They all worked great for most cases. [19:00] lizzzy: sudo killall apt-get [19:00] LogicFan, ok what is the pacakge name exactly? [19:00] Petein, I don't see the risk factor. Of all the things you can do to save power, the riskiest are pretty much unavoidable: Suspend, Hibernate, or Shut Down. [19:00] chrgtr: thanks. Will try it out. [19:00] Dr_Willis: I want to be able to transfer files for web dev work [19:00] coz_, floola_4.9-1~getdeb1_amd64.deb [19:00] lizzzy:that is the same as killing the pid [19:00] xiong: so i put the cpu frequency to the lowest it had = 1.2 GHz , can i do smth else? [19:01] LogicFan, ok if this is gnome go to system/administration/synaptic pacakge manager [19:01] lwells: i belive the gnome connext --> to server. has a web dav option.. or it can connect via ssh/sftp and put an icon on your desktop [19:01] lizzzy: if it doesn't work you can send it a different kill signal [19:01] LogicFan, hit the "Search" button and type in floola [19:01] evenin' all [19:01] It's difficult for me to see how dimming your backlight is going to affect running processes. Slowing down the CPU slows everything but is highly unlikely to cause any sort of system instability.

And from there one could easily read the logs and pick up important filenames, as well as file location databases. (mlocate, for example, indexes all file systems.)

[20:45] LjL: yeah but how to run it? [20:45] I figured Ubuntu people would know classpaths and pathnames the best, no? [20:45] kevliu: ##linux is a more general support channel (but still asking questions like that is obviously homework). [20:45] Ali_nz: i haven't a clue. [20:45] kevliu: classnames and path names are nothing to do with ubuntu [20:45] Ali_nz: but the instructions will cover that, no? [20:45] LjL: would I need to cd to usr/local/bin? [20:45] kevliu: join a c channel [20:46] Ali_nz: probably not, it'll be in thepath [20:46] Oh, wait...

[20:49] alazyworkaholic: dd can easily write a lot of zeros over a device. you said you wanted to wipe it, it'll do that. [20:49] This is not asking people to do my homework for me. [20:49] crescendo: let me see what I can find, device mapper with crytop works different than what I'd consider standard device mapper functions [20:49] could someone help me troubleshoot my sound problem? I've tried a few guides and none of them have worked for me. [20:49] alazyworkaholic: it certainly won't let you munt it, though. you really can't mount a disk that has been wiped clean.

[21:00] Hey, I'm having the "hda-intel audio problem" for weeks now and tried every trick in the book. I can't seem to get it right. Someone help me? [21:00] 8.10 [21:00] valentine: to 9.04? [21:00] yes. [21:00] !who | valentine [21:00] valentine: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [21:00] yancho: put up sudo fdisk -l to pastebin [21:00] valentine: Oh you have CD, then yeah you can do that. I'm assuming that you want to upgrade it via Internet as most people would do. [21:00] valentine: you need to use the alternate cd === ubuntu_ is now known as readonlz [21:00] !paste | yancho [21:00] yancho: 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! [21:00] I want to edit the file but how do i find it if its in a diff location? [21:00] and it's annoying cuz it dont work. [21:00] valentine: The regular ubuntu cd doesn't have room for both the live session and packages [21:00] what is the channel for ubuntu 9.10 [21:00] jason__ hallo Was ist los? [21:00] readonlz: #ubuntu+1 [21:01] lizzzy: what version do you use? I had a lot of sound issues with 9.04 but the last time I tried 9.10 sound worked much better - especially with skype. [21:01] !de | valentine [21:01] valentine: In den meisten ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen. Für deutschsprachige Hilfe besuchen Sie bitte #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #edubuntu-de oder #ubuntu-at. Geben Sie einfach /join #ubuntu-de ein! Danke für Ihr Verständnis. [21:01] valentine: i found that you have to update all the packages before updating to new version... or else it will mess up [21:01] no no... geira i just want to keep the Crap ui have on my pc..and just upgrade to jaunty from intrepid. [21:01] lol ubottu i speak englisch. [21:02] well darknezz it's is jacked up..badly. [21:02] i just want to upgrade. [21:02] join #ubuntu-fr [21:02] valentine: Oh, so you want to install the newer version over the old, but keep your home folder? [21:02] Okay I'm trying to follow this guide: http://www.zimbio.com/Linux/articles/lA4qecuC6Lc/How+install+setup+TightVNC+Debian+Ubuntu+Tutorial [21:02] valentine: jacked up? [21:02] ok, so, lowercase r and s don't work. if i use shift they do. what the heck? also if i copy/paste something with lowercase r or s, it strips those. [21:02] yea geira..i just want to keep all my stuff..and upgrade...and it wont let me do it fromt he net..but i have the cd. [21:02] alazyworkaholic: 9.04. Hasn't there been a fix found yet? [21:02] Does anyone understand "dd" well enough to tell it to send 0's to sda, ignoring any errors? I can't make much sense of the man page. Does "sudo dd if=0 of=/dev/sda" approach being correct? [21:03] Would be a good idea to install the ATI Proprietary Drivers? Do, I actually need them for anything, or is the one that Ubuntu comes with just fine? I'm asking because I want to see if I can play any sort of 3_D game. : ) [21:03] valentine: Won't let you do it from the net? how so? [21:03] but @ this command i get stumped its empty or it doesn't exist: nano /$HOME/.vnc/xstartup [21:03] alazyworkaholic: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda [21:03] stefg : http://pastebin.com/m7a1d2da1 [21:03] alazyworkaholic: /dev/zero [21:03] ;-) [21:03] alazyworkaholic: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda to zero the drive [21:03] MoonlitFate, I am going to asume they would be the same for compiz running .... Compiz requires at least a Radeon 7000 (or M6). From the 7000 to the X1950, you can use the open source "radeon" driver. All cards newer than the X1950 must use the proprietary "fglrx" driver. [21:03] lizzzy: Dunno. I just lived with having to quit games, enter sound preferences, click around, then restart... [21:04] oh and another thing...when you do have the new versiopn...and you install the sound driver thingy's....for that musik box thingy...it keeps saying get codecs..even tho i already have them..that's abug..and how so?? it just spent 6 hours trying to upgrade..and it Fick's up half way through. [21:04] yeh, you want to be a bit careful doing that! [21:04] bzrk, ciderpunx, stefg, Thanks. [21:04] are u encrypting? [21:04] valentine: and when i was talking about updating packages i didn't mean of all programs you have installed but just the Ubuntu updates. [21:04] it won't do that either darknezz....how can i just use the cd to just upgrade without losing my shiza? lol [21:05] just trying to upgrade to 9.10 and getting "W:Failed to fetch http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/karmic/universe/source/Sources.bz2 Hash Sum mismatch"? What how to cicumvent this? Any ideas? [21:05] valentine: use the cd as repository in your apt sources.list [21:05] yea solistic..i have the same problem. [21:05] !9.10 | solistic [21:05] solistic: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 29th, 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [21:05] yancho: hmm, ok... so where do you have more space for linux? [21:05] valentine: sorry not 100% sure [21:05] i want to fully upgrade...from cd... [21:05] ok, this is a question regarding 9.10 but since that channeil is kinda inactive, and i-m sure that this happened to someone before - after the upgrade i cannot boot into my os because it says that my filesystem is read only. how can I stop that? [21:06] I'm using ssh to connect to my box and just downloading the latest beta of ubuntu via wget. If I leave the terminal (Close the ssh connection) will it stop and log me out? [21:06] this is the first time i have ever seen this happen...and ubuntu is starting to run like windows. [21:06] ciderpunx: no, I think my (new) ssd's toast, even though badblocks gave an all clear. the dd command gave: dd: opening `/dev/sda': Read-only file system [21:06] stefg, no idea . gotta use grub i think best ey? [21:06] valentine: You need the alternative cd if you want to upgrade using the CD. As explained in !upgrade. The regular CD does NOT contain packages (well some, but very few) [21:06] i had a easy question... i know this is the ubuntu channel but someone might know.... i got a new ipod and i have owned one before but always used rockbox. its the ipod classic and i started adding songs and most work... but when I try and add the album in rainbows by radiohead... it would not work... i downloaded it from the website when they where giving it away in 2007... do you think it will not play because of the DRM or is it [21:06] rhythm box? (songbird didnt detect new IPOD) [21:06] alazyworkaholic: mount -o remount,rw /dev/sda [21:06] coz_: Hm, I see. Well, I have an older ATI card-- FireGL 8800, but the drivers for it on the ATI website are from 2006, and I'm not sure if I would need them or not. ._. To be honest, I'm kind of afraid to install them-- if my system died that would be epic fail. [21:06] hi [21:06] but i dont want to lost my stuff. [21:06] hey [21:06] valentine: apt-get clean will delete downloaded archives and possibly give you some space [21:06] and it will go bye bye if i do that. [21:06] alazyworkaholic: yuk. [21:07] danke!! marc. [21:07] MoonlitFate: ok I just joined, but ATI issues aye? what's yours? [21:07] MoonlitFate, then I suggest going to #compiz channel and talking with eighther adamk ..whom I strongly suggest ...or soreau [21:07] bzrk: thanks, that gave me: "mount: can't find /dev/sda in /ect/fstab or /etc/mtab" [21:07] ola [21:07] MoonlitFate, both of whom especiall adamk wil know the best approach for ati cards I am strickly nvidia [21:08] yancho: grub is the bootloader, has nohing to do with that... honestly speaking your partition layout is a mess. are all of these windows partitions necessary? [21:08] alazyworkaholic: check where you mounted the drive and use that location instead of /dev/sda then [21:08] hello [21:08] MoonlitFate: ATI cards can be a problem in 9.04 [21:08] marcellus.....Nichts! [21:08] coz_: Oh, okay. :3 [21:08] nothing [21:08] MoonlitFate, i would suggest waiting for about an hour or so because adamk is coming home from work [21:08] stefg yeah they are a tragidy .. but have installed ubunt uafter al the windows [21:08] hijo puta [21:08] !upgrade>Mka [21:08] Mka, please see my private message [21:09] !upgrade>ashmew2 [21:09] ashmew2, please see my private message [21:09] yancho: can't you backup to some external drive and rethink your partitions?

[21:11] bzrk: that's the strange part. I'm looking at Disk Utility (in karmic) & it detected the ssd & tells me it's at /dev/sda. There's /sda1, /sda2...etc. shouldn't /dev/sda be correct?

[21:18] readonlz: try to mount your ubuntu partition and pastebin me the contents of /etc/fstab [21:18] valentine: i told you already cou can add the cd as repository in the sources.list [21:18] to all that pay'n attention: i dont want to lose anything..i [21:18] stefg: opening ALSA-Configuration.txt.gz as the guide says yields a file I cannot read.

[21:20] someone do remote acc..for me? but not screw up my stuff? [21:20] alazyworkaholic: your drive isnt recognized then, check your cabling and bios settings plus the dmesg on bootup whether it gets recognized at all === Ronald_ is now known as Ronald [21:21] alazyworkaholic: fdisk -l [21:21] valentine: you can also burn your self a 9.04 CD and do a clean install, after backing up data [21:21] Keiffer you can run Photoshop CS1 without problems by using Wine.. CS2 probably also works, not sure about CS3 or CS4 though [21:21] if i use virtual screen like the one we can see in ubuntu demos, can i set some screenRecording codec to record a firefox session, and have like 4 different sessions where i record 4 different video to 4 different filename(the computer is a 8 core xeon it can handle it) [21:21] cs2 works real fine [21:21] cs3 not at all [21:22] fick das..lol..i aint backing up crap..i shouldnt have to..this is linux..and that's the point of coming to the "better side" [21:22] readonlz: you seem to have two hard drives. pastebin me the contents of menu.lst [21:22] bzrk: It's a netbook, so cabling shouldn't be a problem. I know the BIOS still detects the drive since when I boot from the usb booting from P-1800xzy (disk name) is still an option. [21:22] the last version of GIMP is incredible Thos [21:22] valentine: no OS is 100% perfect [21:22] sebsebseb: but better than windows. [21:22] that's for dang sure. [21:22] Mka: yes, i have two. the menu list is exactly the same as before upgrading, only the kernel number is different [21:22] howdy [21:22] readonlz: in the mean time, you can remove the forcefsck file [21:22] valentine: also whatever OS your running you should be backing up really if you got important stuff, since hard disks can just fail [21:22] sebsebseb: will the new version support the ipod touch? [21:23] marcellus: fdisk -l gives me nothing at all. The console just goes down a line. [21:23] Mka: where is it supposed to be? because i don/t have that file :S [21:23] Have any Android users in here? [21:23] anyone knows why I cant get netboot images for 9.04 or 9.10? [21:23] valentine: also having a seperate home partition makes reinstalling or even distro hopping easier [21:23] alazyworkaholic: you've been struggling with this for days now, haven't you. Do you have to use Karmic? Mixing suspect hardware with a buggy OS isn't helping you debug at all... [21:23] valentine: please stop that swearing - even in german [21:23] i hate windows.....period.

[22:14] basilesque: are you sure that your cable is good? you should get link lights even if your machine is powered off [22:14] allanon_ I say go ahead but thats just me. :) [22:14] :D [22:14] fbdystang: also it'd be nice to not have a 5th gear that stinks [22:15] swt.. so "netcat localhost 25"... does nothing. What can I check to figure out why? [22:15] mgmuscari results are "ERROR no such device" ya its a good cable, i installed ubuntu over it through pxe [22:15] I used to be able to email questions to answer.launchpad from my menu bar at the top of my screen but now it is gone...why?? [22:15] fbdystang: coz the prerelease is not stable in some cases and it has little "new" drivers compatibility .. the real new release is best because it is absolutely stable.. it is not a alpha release that is not complete [22:15] does anyone know what's the internet today? [22:15] codingfreak: I think so. Is my ubuntu install guaranteed to be on /dev/sda? I did a wubi install. [22:15] allanon_ try "netcat 127.0.0.1 25" ? maybe [22:15] internet is in a box [22:15] my end is very slow [22:15] :-O [22:15] not sure... [22:15] not really sure of all of the netcat commands. [22:15] basilesque: so it appears in ifconfig but you get an error when you try to configure it? [22:16] man "netcat" [22:16] bigbrovar: it will let you cut, I don't recall if it will paste also. Not sure what you mean when you say you 'dont like this avidemux thing'. There aren't a lot of choices for stable video editing in linux.... [22:16] i tried the internal ip to no avail.. ill give 127 a shot ;p [22:16] but i gave u a EXAMPLE cmd line xD [22:16] guys is it free to play online with nexuiz'?

[22:16] a game [22:16] can anyone point me to a step by step tutorial to change the boot order? I'm running Vista and Ubuntu 9.04. at startup ubuntu loads by default, but I would like Vista to load by default instead [22:16] gpl fps [22:17] yea game's are usually played, what kinda? [22:17] readonlz: I am not convinced by these errors though [22:17] u could boot up with the cd/stick and create the image then, which included also the whole win partition or u specify the partition 2 be saved [22:17] jose__: that's easy enough to sort out, I am curious though as to why you want Vista as the default boot [22:18] how to skip something at boot??? [22:18] losha: sorry bad grammar, i meant will it allow me to cut part of the video i dont like? this avidemux app [22:18] jose__: If I understand your question, it's just a one line change to /boot/grub/menu.lst [22:18] edulacomadreja: skip what? [22:18] readonlz: try replacing the line "kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-11-generic root=UUID=eba1a6ef-7aee-44b0-99f6-3a58aec4a8f4 ro quiet splash " with "kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-11-generic root=UUID=eba1a6ef-7aee-44b0-99f6-3a58aec4a8f4 ro" in your menu.lst and reboot again, this time watching closely the boot messages [22:19] sebsebseb: It's my parent's desktop, they're used to vista and get frustrated that ubuntu loads if they turn on the machine and walk away [22:19] jose__: ah yes that [22:19] jose__: ok edit the file losha told you to [22:19] bigbrovar: Well, I use it to chop commercials out of tv programs recorded by my video card, so yes... [22:19] i'm out... later everyone [22:19] jose__: and put the Vista entry before the Ubuntu enterys, and Vista should boot up by default [22:19] are the ubuntu servers besieged by the beta release or something? updates and upgrades take forever (30-70KB/s) [22:19] ok, how do i go about doing that sebsebseb? [22:19] bigbrovar: avidemux is for putting pieces together and formatting ... use gopchop to make pieces of video [22:19] has anyone ever used zoneminder video security system with ubuntu? I need to know what input card I need, I'm looking at 4 ch with bnc connectors [22:20] herenbdy yeah the new beta release is slowing everything down [22:20] !slow | herenbdy [22:20] herenbdy: The Ubuntu repositories and ISO mirrors are currently under heavy load due to the release of the Karmic Koala (9.10) beta. Please consider using !torrents to download ISO images, and be patient with APT updates. [22:20] jose__: only thing is with this, if you later install a new kernel, or even an update for Grub, you might have to re do the file like that agian [22:20] Mka: sorrz, my net restarted [22:20] I see [22:20] losha: what I just said to jose, that's the way you would do it as well? [22:20] Mka: what did you say after convinced ? [22:20] anyone have ideas on creating m4b audiobooks with chapters on linux? I can make m4b files from existing mp3s just fine, but I can't find anything that will create the chapters [22:20] readonlz: try replacing the line "kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-11-generic root=UUID=eba1a6ef-7aee-44b0-99f6-3a58aec4a8f4 ro quiet splash " with "kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-11-generic root=UUID=eba1a6ef-7aee-44b0-99f6-3a58aec4a8f4 ro" in your menu.lst and reboot again, this time watching closely the boot messages [22:20] sebsebseb: that's ok, once i learn it, i know it [22:20] Greetings :D [22:20] sebsebseb: now how do i start? [22:21] losha: may all your prayers be answered :) thanks very much, was going to try kdenlive but that is an over kill for what i need [22:21] Can anybody recommend a good music player to manage my iPod nano 4th gen 16Gb? [22:21] sebsebseb: well usually new kernels etc. add entries only to the *end* of menu.lst, so that things like the default entry remain valid... [22:21] jose__: gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst [22:21] LogicFan: there is probably an xml you can create that will input the chapters, you will have to figure out how to encode it with those options [22:21] jose__: there is actually nothing to learn [22:21] hola [22:21] losha: oh ok [22:21] fccf: gopchop ? hmm havent heard of that before [22:21] !es | mistya [22:21] mistya: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés.

[22:23] edulacomadreja: np [22:23] bigbrovar: why not try them all and then tell us which you chose, and why... [22:23] Mka: the only suspicious message i get during that is something regarding not recognizing some usb device [22:23] and then it hangs on Done. [22:23] edulacomadreja: in fact sometimes server issues are done in here [22:23] Mka: and then it hangs on "Done." [22:23] edulacomadreja: I think or whatever [22:23] bigbrovar: you are inputting from dvd media??? then use dvd::rip to create mpeg2 AVI's [22:24] bigbrovar: vob is basically mpeg2 with a few (unimportant) tweaks... [22:24] ubuntu_: then remove that USB device [22:24] is there any way to safely terminate an apt-get upgrade? [22:24] losha: good idea, i might even blog it and get some hits in the process :D [22:24] crescendo: maybe, but not the best idea [22:24] if i get the 9.10 beta i will just be able to update to the actual release right? [22:24] just making sure [22:24] Mka: it doesn't say which. the only usb devices i have are mouse and printer [22:24] stsm: ask in #ubuntu+1 [22:24] ubuntu_: remove the printer [22:24] my USB flash drive is not being detected when I plug it; it worked fine until today [22:24] !karmic | stsm [22:24] stsm: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 29th, 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [22:25] sebsebseb: I just launched a full apt-get upgrade inside a chroot jail, but obviously /proc isn't mounted - and I need to leave. :( [22:25] @stsm: if u use alternate of course, not sure with destop cd [22:25] losha: thanks (this is becoming quite a lesson need to hangout here more) [22:25] thanx [22:26] !netsplit [22:26] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other.

I didn't know that .m4b chapters were stored in xml [22:27] https://www.uww.edu/desire2learn/support/ldb/stuguide.html <- I hope none of my classes require that...

[22:32] anyways... my usb flash drive does to automatically pop up like it used to; how do I fix this?

[22:37] fccf, yeah, wish I'd have thought of that earlier. :P [22:38] crescendo: learn to use screen, it is your friend [22:38] Oh crap [22:38] instead of & you can detach and re-attach screens [22:38] kazagistar, that helps me in the future, but not now. :( [22:38] I'm confused [22:38] yeah, I'll do that next time.

[23:00] works imo much better [23:01] wicd ftw [23:01] :D [23:01] Officially the oldest and lamest problem in the book, but I'm having trouble with my Synaptics (brand) touchpad in Ubuntu. All the generic stuff works, edge scrolling, tapping, etc., but I can't figure out how to get circle scrolling (Synaptics dub it "Chiralmotion") working. I Googled it and there are a bunch of hits, but almost all for pre-Jaunty stuff, when xorg.conf was much longer than it was. [23:01] Out_Cold - wicd didn't work on my comp.. and I didn't want to put my soul down to get it to work [23:01] didn't work?? [23:02] I had the Networkmanager working.. but after upgrade it stopped [23:02] how to permanently hide the time list in quassel? [23:02] you do know about the little arrows below the network name to set up encryption? [23:02] I did as suggested on the wiki and enabled SHMConfig and picked up gsynaptics, but none of the changes in gsynaptics do anything with regards to the behaviour of my mouse. They are getting stored somewhere though as they remain set in the app. [23:02] is today some sort of release day - ubuntu servers are really slow. [23:03] !slow | tomsdale [23:03] tomsdale: The Ubuntu repositories and ISO mirrors are currently under heavy load due to the release of the Karmic Koala (9.10) beta. Please consider using !torrents to download ISO images, and be patient with APT updates. [23:03] lol === YungRipp is now known as Tommi [23:03] i would torrent but the roomies are hogging bandwidth with the ps3s === snuxoll_ is now known as snuxoll [23:04] hello everyone [23:04] I am currently building a computer and have a question. I have this mobo http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813135085 and this case http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119115 I am connecting the front audio board stuff. There are two connectors for the audio board one says HDAUDIO the other says AC'97, which should i use? [23:04] I can also verify that Ubuntu knows I have a Synaptics touchpad, xinput list shows "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" id=5 [XExtensionPointer]. [23:04] i am trying to recover information from a drive using a live cd...but the drive was in a software raid one configuration so how do i mount it? [23:04] Defcon1: I'm not sure this is the right venue for that question. [23:05] How do I figure out if my public key matches my private key in the .ssh directory? I am having issues with the keys and I want to verify they are correct [23:07] vaguerant I did a google, check this out for your multi touch problem http://ubuntu-snippets.blogspot.com/2009/03/multi-touch-for-anyall-synaptics.html [23:07] hi, I've currently got a primary partition with vista on that I want to convert to an extended partition, i'm having a bit of trouble figuring out how to do this. I don't really want to reformat. Anyone know how? === BomberBank is now known as compgenius999 [23:08] dorgan: Do you have the `mdadm` program in your live environment? [23:08] i just installed it but i am doing this remotely [23:08] gnathan87, you can use fdisk [23:09] Cerrdor: thanks! [23:09] dajhorn: I just installed it [23:09] dorgan: First, `sudo modprobe raid1`. [23:09] hey everyone..i am trying to write a web interface for easy monitoring of my server...i already have a hard drive report, and a database report..any other command line reporting tools i could use that would be valuable? [23:10] dajhorn: ok, next? [23:10] starcannon: That's new, I haven't seen that page before, but it doesn't look like it covers the circular scroll. Multitouch isn't what I'm after, the circular scrolling works like the wheel on an iPod. You draw circles on the touchpad and it scrolls down or up depending. [23:10] gonzojive_: maybe you need to deal with the "issues" you have on the keys the other way rather than fiddling with the private key [23:10] dajhorn: Run `lsmod` and check that it loaded. Then `cat /etc/mdstat` and look for any complaints or errors. [23:10] yeah, I read about the circular scroll thing on the intel website, not sure; I'll take a quick peek for that exact functionality, see if I can come up with a search result that you missed. [23:11] Thanks, I'd appreciate it. [23:11] dajhorn: no such file or directory [23:11] vaguerant check this out http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=717457 [23:11] dajhorn: My bad. /proc/mdstat instead. [23:12] dorgan: My bad. `cat /proc/mdstat` instead. (Not etc.) [23:12] Who knows why the server is so slow that I can not update. === ubuntu_ is now known as CaRSi [23:12] !slow > dustsnow [23:12] dustsnow, please see my private message [23:13] hey guys, just installed jaunty amd64 and have dhcp issues on eth0, I read about a lot of ppl with this problem, is there a patch or workaround? wireless works and am in the process of doing a dist-upgrade now [23:13] I saw that one, it seems like it's for an older version; my xorg.conf doesn't have anything in it about the touchpad/mouse so I wasn't sure if I could just add it in, since it seems to be getting its settings from elsewhere anyway. [23:13] dorgan: You should have a raid1 "personality" in that file. === kassai_ is now known as kassai [23:13] dajhorn: Personalities : [raid1] [23:13] dajhorn: unused devices: [23:14] dro does that motherboard have 2 ethernet ports built in? If so, I got around the issue by using eth1(the second port) [23:14] starcannon: nope unfortenly not [23:14] dajhorn: what next? [23:14] dorgan: Next step is `sudo mdadm --assemble /dev/md0 /dev/sdX /dev/sdY`. Substitute sdX and sdY for your RAID-1 disks. [23:14] starcannon: i am using the wireless right now but it's kinda slow [23:14] starcannon: I did just find something that might have me a little closer. I did a xinput list-props "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" and there are settings for Circular Scrolling in there. [23:14] starcannon: once you got all up to date, did that fix it? [23:15] dorgan: Check /proc/partitions to get a list of disks and partitions. === Sememmon_ is now known as Sememmon === linxeh_ is now known as linxeh [23:17] dro everything works here, I haven't checked eth0 though, so can't say for sure, eth1 worked, so I just left it. [23:17] starcannon: interesting, i might just switch eth0 to eth1 lol [23:17] im trying to use xchat with a proxy from here with no succsses http://aliveproxy.com/irc-proxy-list/ [23:17] vaguerant did that ubuntuforums.org post I send you help? [23:17] I'm running Karmic and under Software Sources, community-maintained open source software (universe) is checked but when I do a search in Synpatic for either xchat or cheese nothing comes up [23:18] !9.10 | Xgates [23:18] Xgates: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 29th, 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [23:18] Not quite, but I managed to get it working using the wiki on configuring input devices. [23:18] dro, suppose it's worth a shot... not sure; its a bit of open the door close the door and the broken car starts kinda thing, worked for me basically, though I have 2 ethernet ports so wth, give it a shot, you can allways change it back if it don't work or causes other issues [23:18] grturner: no worries I've been running Linux along time, just not a Ubuntu user is all... [23:18] The fine control for it isn't great, but hopefully I can figure that out myself. Thanks for all the help. [23:19] What is this about 'Karmic will break'? [23:19] hey guys, i've got a problem. well, two. How do I know what my pen drive is detected as ... be it sda or sda 1 etc [23:19] Dekko, it's still beta, theres going to be problems [23:19] i have it plugged in now, where do i check to see what it is ? [23:19] grturner: ah okay but I will wait until final comes out. [23:19] vaguerant well done, it would be nice if there were better touchpad gui configurators; I might try to tackle something like that this winter, or I might not, depends on how lazy I feel lol [23:19] Dekko: The good news is you get to keep both pieces :) [23:20] Dekko Karmic is Beta at the moment, Beta WILL break. [23:20] Do you know if it will be trouble free upgrading current install to karmic final when released. [23:20] Running Jaunty now. [23:20] Dekko, should be [23:20] Hey, is the Sugar in apt broken/ [23:21] s/\//?/ [23:21] CydeSwype: I've been thinking what about the repositories that are set for jaunty now? [23:21] CokeNCode: Quick and dirty, run `dmesg` at a prompt and look at the last line. [23:21] where is this darn thing mounted ... hmmmm [23:21] Dekko, I'm in karmic now and while it's mostly stable there's still the usual problems with audio, compiz and various other things [23:21] there is a way to fastly accsess wiktionary.org? [23:21] thanks dajhorn [23:21] Dekko, if this is your production/only computer, don't do it unless you have time/patience to deal with it, thats my advice, which is generally not worth much ;P [23:21] it's sdb, i checked partition manager [23:21] Dekko: yes that should go fine upgrading to the final, however you might want to re install instead :) assuming your on Ext3, since no Ext4 on an upgrade. Or when the time comes can do an Ext3 to Ext4 conversion, however I don't think quite get the proper thing when doing that. [23:21] now, my other problem, how do i find out where it's mounted ? [23:21] CokeNCode: You can also use the disk editor, which is somewhere under the System menu. [23:21] Dekko, the repos you've added will need to be changed, but the base ones will switch as part of the upgrade === pauljw_vm is now known as pauljw [23:22] reinstall = pain in ass due to all the tweaks and stuff I've done to get it to work as I want it. [23:22] Doh, sorry Dekko I misunderstood, I thought you meant going from Karmic Beta to Karmic Release, I recommend waiting for release unless you wanna help test Beta [23:22] CokeNCode: If your Ubuntu desktop is sensible, then it will be in Nautilus, and it will be mounted under the /media directory. [23:22] sebsebseb makes a good point re: ext4. it's not a HUGE difference between ext3 and ext4, but if you want to play with ext4, and you're currently on ext3 you'll likely have to reinstall [23:22] starcannon okay I was talking about FINAL when that comes out - going from Jaunty to Karmic. [23:22] CokeNCode: Open a file manager and look in the left-pane for something that reads like "My Pen Drive". [23:23] Dekko: The main thing with Ext4 is having / with that file system, so get the 10 seconds or so boot up, really fast shut down, and the disk check done in a few seconds or so after 23 or so boots. [23:23] dajhorn: yeh, i see that. But I wanna access it from the console [23:23] in fact, screw that ... what's the command to open file manager ... maybe if i run that as root ... i can do what i want [23:23] Dekko, ah, yeah, well if things go as planned, it should be a smooth transition; if your concerned, it may be worth waiting a week and watching the ubuntuforums.org threads, and see what if any hurdles you may have to hop [23:23] CokeNCode: `cd /media/MyPenDrive`. [23:23] starcannon: Sounds interesting if it happens. I did get gsynaptics, but it just didn't do anything re: modifying anything that actually did anything. [23:23] thanks dajhorn, you're awesome ... [23:23] CokeNCode: Np. [23:23] sebsebseb... we'll see how I do.....:) I love Linux though, came from Mac OS X (Hackintosh) to Linux which made the transition easier. [23:24] vaguerant yeah gsynaptics needs more options, I think of it as pretty much an on/off switch myself [23:24] hi guys.. a question: i need to install linux on a pc but only the terminal interface... do you think it's best debian or ubuntu to do it? [23:24] !love > Dekko [23:24] Dekko, please see my private message [23:24] The_Dead_91 Debian if you know how, Ubuntu if you don't [23:25] sebsebseb: thats nice............. [23:25] :D [23:25] have you guys seen bumptop yet? [23:25] Dekko: :) [23:25] The_Dead_91 check out Ubuntu Alternate Install iso if your talking about running headless, its got what you need. [23:25] Dekko: quite a few Mac users go to Ubuntu, and then think Ubuntu is better than Mac OS X [23:25] hey guys, is vmware tools work in ubuntu 9.04? [23:25] i just noticed they're "measuring demand" for a linux version [23:26] g0tcha: I guess so, but for virtualization Virtaulbox is usually recommended [23:26] later all, I'm off to play with a clients network. [23:26] starcanno : i thought so... but i didn't do it with debian... what release i've to download? the minimum? [23:26] g0tcha: in here [23:26] now, guys, what do i edit in /boot/grub/menu.lst to force it to look for sdb instead of the hard drive [23:26] Networkmanager won't manage my wifi.. says NetworkManager: (wlan0): deactivating device (reason: 2). what does it mean and how do I fix it [23:26] g0tcha, not sure about vmware, but i like virtualbox [23:26] i see a million lines here references sda [23:26] sebsebseb: I am a Windows user basically, then I tried Hackintoshin' and loved it, THEN I decided to try Linux AGAIN for the umphtheenth time.... and this time with Jaunty it just clicked. [23:26] g0tcha: plus Virtualbox can use VMware VMDK files [23:26] So multibooting Win7/OS X Leopard 10.5.8 and Ubuntu Linux now :D [23:26] sebastien, it does? [23:27] alright ... let's try this again [23:27] gonzojive_: not sure, it's been quite a while since I used any VMware products, because of Virtualbox :) [23:27] brb guys ...
